58.68 -> busy at the church and got so much going

80.7 -> just to see so much support on the

83.159 -> Revival on this past Monday night and so

86.28 -> thank you all for being on tonight as

88.619 -> we're getting ready to go into our

90.6 -> lesson

91.799 -> and I really wanted to talk I was asking

95.1 -> God uh today and just praying about it

98.46 -> on yesterday what would we have to talk

101.52 -> about tonight and uh the Lord took me to

104.88 -> First Peter chapter 3 verse 15. and uh

110.64 -> just begin to meditate on that

112.259 -> particular passage and there were some

114.54 -> other correlative scriptures that just

116.939 -> came to mind and I want to read

120.659 -> um

121.2 -> I want to read first Peter

123.5 -> chapter three and verse 15 and the word

128.28 -> of God says but sanctify the Lord God in

131.4 -> your hearts and be ready always to give

134.879 -> an answer to every man that asks you a

137.64 -> reason

138.42 -> asking you a reason of the hope that is

141.78 -> in you with meekness and fear

145.319 -> and uh

147.18 -> that that has a description itself is is

151.2 -> pretty powerful

152.819 -> um because Paul I mean Peter is actually

156.18 -> talking

158.4 -> about the inheritance that we have uh in

163.56 -> just being a part of uh the work of

167.099 -> Christ and understanding that this

170.459 -> inheritance that we have

172.56 -> is a blessing now what Peter is talking

176.099 -> about In this passage of scripture is

179.099 -> helping us to understand

181.22 -> that we must value number one what it is

185.76 -> we have

186.9 -> now I know most of us have children uh

190.92 -> some of us are parents and those of us

192.599 -> who may not be parents you have family

194.879 -> members that if you give them something

196.86 -> you want them to treasure it you want

199.319 -> them to Value it and to take care of it

202.62 -> um I know we can probably relate to uh

206.519 -> buying someone a gift during holidays

208.62 -> and you hope that they don't pack it up

211.019 -> and re-gift it to somebody else but of

212.76 -> course once you give it to somebody it's

214.68 -> whatever they're going to do with it but

216.48 -> in this situation understanding The

218.94 -> Inheritance that Jesus has given and

221.34 -> that he has paid for in blood

223.44 -> uh Peter who is now

226.56 -> stronger than ever

228.36 -> more seasoned he's not the fickle Peter

231.599 -> he's the season picker but Peter that is

234.599 -> actively uh now training the people that

238.86 -> Paul is sending to him all the disciples

240.84 -> are sent into him he is the head of the

242.64 -> church and he's letting them know how

244.92 -> important it is to be ready to defend

247.319 -> what it is you believe and so tonight as

251.04 -> we talk uh I'm not going to do all the

253.26 -> talking I'm just gonna we're gonna have

255 -> a conversation tonight so I want you all

256.739 -> to talk to me uh to share with me as we

259.5 -> teach this lesson tonight uh we see here

262.32 -> that Peter uh is changed because he did

267.66 -> not defend his faith initially In the

270.9 -> Heat of the Moment when Jesus needed him

272.759 -> to in fact we see Jesus uh who is

277.699 -> arrested and who is taken away and when

282.18 -> Peter is asked

284.34 -> or when he is accused of being

286.5 -> associated

288.06 -> Peter says I'm not with him I don't know

290.16 -> him right and he denies him as Jesus

292.86 -> predicted he would

294.78 -> three times before the cop crawled

297.36 -> and now Peter is in a state now where

300.419 -> he's trying to make sure that no one

302.58 -> makes the same mistake that he did and

305.4 -> so that's how I seen uh first Peter

309.84 -> chapter 3 and verse 15. he's trying to

312.06 -> teach people to understand what has been

314.16 -> passed down and I think it's important

315.72 -> that he passed down that same uh lesson

319.08 -> now we all have made some mistakes and I

322.259 -> think we've all uh tried our best to

325.5 -> tell others don't make the mistakes I've

327.18 -> made you know uh some people say I want

330.419 -> to be just like you and I you hear

331.86 -> people say no don't be like me try to be

334.139 -> better right and and so this is where

336.84 -> Peter is having that same effect as he

340.08 -> is teaching in this textroom tonight and

343.139 -> so

344.039 -> um

344.639 -> let's let's go let's lay some more

346.86 -> Foundation here uh let's go to verse 8

349.94 -> in chapter three right

353.52 -> um verse 8 says finally be ye all of One

356.699 -> mind

357.9 -> we're in chapter three verse eight be ye

360.84 -> all of One mind having compassion one of

365.16 -> another love as Brethren be pitiful and

369.78 -> be courteous right be pitiful

372.96 -> and courteous not rendering evil for

376.259 -> evil or railing for railing but contrary

380.639 -> contrary wise blessing knowing that ye

384.18 -> are there unto call that ye should

387.18 -> inherit a blessing

389.46 -> for he that will love life and see good

392.52 -> days

393.6 -> and see good days let him refrain his

396.24 -> tongue from evil and his lips that they

399.12 -> speak no God let him Askew evil and do

402.9 -> good let him seek peace and ensue it

407.16 -> for the eyes of the Lord are over the

409.68 -> righteous and his ears are off are open

412.8 -> unto the prayers but the face of the

415.62 -> Lord is against them that do evil

418.74 -> and who is he that will harm you if ye

422.759 -> be followers of that which is good in

425.88 -> other words if you're doing the good

427.08 -> things you're doing the right thing

428.039 -> who's going to bother you right and of

430.08 -> course we know that some people still

431.52 -> bother you but who's going to really

433.199 -> seek to do you harm when you're trying

435.78 -> to do right but and he says but and if

439.38 -> ye suffer for righteousness

442.38 -> sake if you suffer for righteousness

444.18 -> sake happy or ye and be not afraid of

448.44 -> their Terror neither be trouble but here

452.039 -> we go verse 15 but sanctify the Lord

455.4 -> sanctify the Lord God in your hearts

459.78 -> and be ready always

462.479 -> to give an answer to every man that

465.06 -> asking you a reason of the hope that is

467.639 -> in you with meekness and fear and then

471.06 -> verse 16 says having a good conscience

472.919 -> that whereas they speak evil you as the

476.039 -> evil doers they may be ashamed that

478.02 -> falsely accuse you

479.78 -> accuse your good conversation in Christ

482.639 -> for it is better if the will of God be

485.099 -> so that you suffer for well-doing than

487.56 -> for evil doing in other words you got to

489.96 -> be mindful that if you suffer on this

493.44 -> side it's better that you suffer for

495.78 -> doing good versus suffering on the side

498.599 -> where Jesus is judging you for doing

500.16 -> evil you see so it's a trade-off here

503.52 -> and so this lesson tonight helps us to

505.68 -> understand that people sometimes Loosely

507.5 -> uh quote First Peter 3 15 uh you know

512.159 -> they kind of quote it out of context

514.02 -> without truly understanding what's going

516.419 -> on in Peter's First Command is us for us

519.36 -> to explain our beliefs he's trying to

521.52 -> help us to understand we need to be

523.02 -> clear of what we have

525.48 -> understand what we have and what we got

528.24 -> our hands on excuse me and he says here

531 -> understand your beliefs

533.94 -> oh excuse me he says understand your

536.519 -> beliefs but also

539.58 -> understand

540.74 -> how to explain it with gentleness

545.82 -> and with respect

548.399 -> and so you have some people who are very

552.839 -> aggressive in explaining why it is they

555.18 -> believe or what they believe but they do

557.64 -> it very disrespectfully right and so we

560.76 -> see here in this text that Peter is

562.5 -> trying to help us to understand that we

564.779 -> got to be conscious of our Behavior how

568.019 -> we talk to people I know some people say

569.459 -> well don't sugarcoat it don't show code

571.2 -> no you don't have to sugarcoat it you

573.42 -> can tell the truth without getting an

574.98 -> attitude

575.94 -> can I get a witness somebody you can

578.519 -> tell the truth you can minister to

580.38 -> somebody without all the attitude

582.24 -> because you don't know if you're driving

583.74 -> somebody away and and again how we

586.44 -> deliver something I put it like this you

588.42 -> can have the best food you can have a

590.64 -> fillet then young or fish or whatever

593.519 -> your favorite meal is and they can be

595.5 -> beautifully presented in a beautiful

597.959 -> plate but if somebody sets that plate

600.12 -> down and just slap it down in front of

601.92 -> you you you don't own it because the way

605.64 -> they presented it how they you know how

608.519 -> they did they can be wonderful

611.459 -> right but if they set it down with the

614.7 -> wrong Spirit you don't you don't even

616.26 -> want to fool with it you know what I'm

618 -> saying because how they presented it and

620.339 -> so the Bible talks about where love and

622.38 -> kindness have our drawing thee and I

624.54 -> think Peter is being mindful that we

627.18 -> must also be respectful

630.12 -> but also become a staunch Defender that

635.04 -> means when you study your word to

636.959 -> rightly divide it know that word and you

639.12 -> truly understand it ain't nobody talk

641.22 -> you down can't nobody talk you out of it

643.98 -> you can have a disagreement without

646.019 -> being disagreeable

647.64 -> y'all hear what I'm saying

649.5 -> you can you can stand on what you know

653.399 -> you may not be able to quote the

655.14 -> scriptures like like Pastor Lindley you

657.66 -> I mean you may not have quoted like me I

660.18 -> I struggle sometimes just quoting

662.04 -> scriptures because I believe the word so

664.38 -> much I don't have to memorize it like

667.32 -> verbatim you see and some people think

670.5 -> well you're supposed to know the

671.7 -> scriptures yeah well I do the best I can

673.86 -> but I'm human right and the word says

676.68 -> Thy word have I hid in my heart so that

678.779 -> might not sin against you since the sin

681.36 -> against me so I have to make sure that

683.88 -> this word is applicable I have to make

686.279 -> sure that I understand it that's why

687.899 -> we're doing Bible study so these words

689.579 -> these scriptures this whole book can

691.92 -> sink in to not only our hearts but also

695.279 -> our mind and this is why Peter says You

698.399 -> must study but also be prepared to give

701.519 -> an explanation and an answer to why it

704.339 -> is you have the hope that you have in

705.899 -> Christ Jesus why do you have a hope in

708.12 -> the faith and why do you believe in God

709.8 -> the way you do and so tonight I want you

712.26 -> all to talk to me a little a bit about

714.959 -> why it is you believe what makes what

718.86 -> makes your belief in God

721.44 -> um something that anyone else should

723.66 -> want to do why do you believe what you

725.339 -> believe what makes you be this way and

728.579 -> and I if I if you notice the title of

730.56 -> the lesson tonight uh

733.14 -> um the title of the lesson make sure I

735.779 -> go back to it was

737.94 -> answering the question of what makes me

740.519 -> believe this way when I talk about this

743.339 -> way I'm not just talking about the way

745.32 -> you think I'm talking about why do you

747 -> believe in the way of Christ why do you

749.279 -> believe in the way of God because again

752.04 -> there are many beliefs out here

755.1 -> I mean there are all kinds of belief

756.72 -> people are mixing stuff in the church

758.82 -> they're mixing a little bit of this a

760.62 -> little bit of that you know you got

762.54 -> folks mixing yoga with Christianity and

765 -> all this kind of stuff you got all kinds

767.22 -> of stuff going on here the people got a

768.779 -> spiritual cocktail going on you see him

770.579 -> when you drive uh you see a little sign

772.62 -> that says coexist you know and remember

775.079 -> we have a God who says I'm a jealous God

777.3 -> right so I know it sounds good I think

780.18 -> it's creative that they are able to take

781.68 -> all the symbols from the different

783.24 -> religions and beliefs and rate create a

785.76 -> word called co-exit I'm I'm not down

788.94 -> with that I'm not now you can believe

791.639 -> what you want to believe but I believe

793.8 -> that there's one God one full one

795.959 -> chapter I believe what the word God says

798.72 -> and I have to be able to defend that to

801.66 -> the best of my ability so again I want

804.66 -> you all to come off the mic tonight I'm

806.459 -> not going to do a whole bunch of talk I

808.019 -> really just want to hear your thoughts

809.519 -> about uh this scripture that that we're

813.18 -> reading from first Peter 3 and 15 and I

818.82 -> want you to come off and we're going to

820.2 -> go to a couple other scriptures that I

821.76 -> had that I wanted to share with you just

824.22 -> to kind of deal with how we deal with

826.26 -> people when we're having conversations

827.579 -> explaining why does we really really so

830.459 -> please come on tonight let's talk

831.779 -> tonight let's wrap let's talk

834.959 -> so Pastor I can say this

837.36 -> um

838.26 -> first of all

840.12 -> because of what I've learned and what

842.7 -> I've been taught I've made a decision to

845.1 -> believe

846.18 -> okay and then based on that decision

849.839 -> and and depending on God

852.3 -> and knowing the things that I've been

853.98 -> through in my life

855.54 -> the ups that I've had and the Downs that

858.42 -> I had that he's always been there with

860.22 -> me

861.32 -> especially in the Downs what I didn't

863.7 -> see where

865.079 -> things were going to work out I didn't

867.6 -> feel like I had anywhere else to turn

871.2 -> um and he said to me in his word in the

873.899 -> word of God to trust me

876.6 -> okay and and I trusted him

880.26 -> and I saw what he did

883.44 -> for me he brought me out of some of the

886.56 -> things that I was in and how he kept me

889.62 -> out of the similar things that I may

891.36 -> have wanted to get into

892.92 -> but he kept me out of there and because

896.699 -> of that

898.079 -> I'm I'm where I am today but then

900.68 -> anywhere else or a lot of other places

903.779 -> but I'm here

905.519 -> and it's all because he brought me

907.5 -> through and that's why I believe I love

909.959 -> it and how does that how does that you

912.839 -> know and I want you to answer the part B

914.22 -> of this question too that's a wonderful

915.839 -> Part B how does that help you to be a

919.079 -> witness to others like how does that

921.06 -> help other people what do they get from

922.5 -> that

923.76 -> well um

925.44 -> when others

928.019 -> hear your testimony

930.18 -> and they see that they may be going

933 -> through some of those things right now

935.18 -> they can see a way out

938.88 -> um they don't have to just depend on

940.44 -> themselves

941.76 -> or somebody else but they can depend on

944.22 -> God

945.54 -> and know that he will bring them through

947.54 -> amen amen I love it I love it thank you

951.6 -> thank you brother Evans

953.639 -> all right so I would

956.699 -> I like to give my suggestion

959.16 -> um why I believe

960.959 -> because I'm a person who likes history

964.92 -> and one thing that a lot of people can

968.519 -> argue about uh the different religions

971.459 -> you know they have a lot of different

972.959 -> variations but

975.72 -> God is one thing that's always been

978.12 -> there

978.92 -> that's a fact

981.199 -> regardless of a lot of different beliefs

984.72 -> it all started with God

987.24 -> that I can create whatever they want to

989.16 -> create from God but God was the original

995.1 -> so that's why I believe in God all right

998.459 -> how does that help how does that help

1000.74 -> other people

1002.259 -> that that that fact that you feel so

1004.759 -> strongly about that

1006.32 -> how do you use that and I mean how do

1010.1 -> you see that impact in other people

1011.72 -> that's the word I want to ask how do you

1013.82 -> see this impact of other people and I

1017 -> want everybody to kind of keep that in

1018.32 -> mind as you're answering as well how do

1020.3 -> you see what it is you truly believe

1022.82 -> how do you see that impact in the lives

1024.98 -> of other people

1026.78 -> Sean you want to finish that part B sure

1029.38 -> so I would say that how do I see that

1033.199 -> impacting other people you know

1037.48 -> let me say this in what regards

1040.64 -> in which way

1042.74 -> you tell me

1044.059 -> Okay so

1047.179 -> I can say

1049.299 -> God has always been a positive change

1051.799 -> for people I've never seen the situation

1054.2 -> where somebody encountered God and

1056.059 -> everything went bad even when things

1059.84 -> I never I'm not saying that it was an

1061.82 -> easy walk with God

1064.46 -> but

1065.84 -> there was always victory at the end

1069.26 -> they always there's always a a story of

1073.16 -> overcoming or or triumphant or healing

1076.7 -> or something God always ends with a

1078.679 -> positive note he never leaves you on a

1080.36 -> negative note

1081.62 -> even though when bad things happen

1084.679 -> some kind of way make those bad things

1087.44 -> turn around and work for your good it's

1090.14 -> all right all right I like it I like it

1092.419 -> thank you thank you all right guys Jump

1095.299 -> On In anybody well Pastor for me um

1099.32 -> my belief is

1101.72 -> I know for sure uh deep down in my heart

1104.96 -> that there is a God and the reason I

1107.96 -> believe

1108.98 -> in my heart that there is a God because

1112.22 -> the alarm clock didn't wake me up just

1114.799 -> because it went off

1116.78 -> I believe

1118.1 -> God

1119.96 -> because he always answer my prayers and

1123.2 -> he does not answer them when I want them

1125.78 -> answered but

1127.82 -> if I just hold on my prayer does get

1130.76 -> answered and there have been some uh

1133.4 -> times in my life when I could not figure

1136.4 -> some things out and one of my things is

1139.7 -> I know there's a God because uh

1143.6 -> at one point in my life I was in Greek I

1147.62 -> was uh uh deep in uh sorrow in grief

1151.88 -> because uh

1154.22 -> because uh one of my loved ones but then

1158.059 -> I it was like God just showed me if I

1161.96 -> hadn't wanted you I would have took you

1164.24 -> with her so

1166.7 -> that's how I know there is a God because

1171.32 -> I could call you or anyone else you all

1174.98 -> might could tell me anything

1176.96 -> and if I didn't know that was a God I

1180.86 -> wouldn't leave anything people would

1183.02 -> tell me but now that I know that he is a

1185.9 -> God I don't just accept yes and no just

1190.16 -> because I accepted if I know everything

1193.88 -> God's will for me to uh have a correct

1198.26 -> answer and when he pulled me out of

1201.08 -> things that's how I knew that was a girl

1204.88 -> go ahead I'm sorry go ahead no no I was

1208.16 -> saying go ahead finish what you're

1209.12 -> saying I was going to ask and the reason

1210.44 -> I say uh the reason I said that is

1214.1 -> because there are so many peoples going

1216.5 -> through Greece now and I've been there

1219.98 -> so I can tell them I know their pain

1223.28 -> now one thing I do know for sure my

1227 -> grief is not the same as the next person

1229.28 -> that's true but

1231.38 -> if I love people's regardless of who

1234.5 -> they are so when they hurt I feel their

1237.74 -> pain yes but if I have not been through

1240.26 -> something I can't tell them I know their

1242.9 -> pain because I wouldn't know their pain

1245.66 -> I could just be saying that just to make

1247.7 -> them think

1249.32 -> I'm a real True Believer in God and I

1251.72 -> really didn't know what I was saying to

1253.22 -> them so you just have to be careful yeah

1256.7 -> know that God is there yes and Noah and

1260.059 -> I'll tell you it is to ask you what

1261.38 -> you're saying because the impact of what

1263.78 -> you're saying and why you believe also

1266.419 -> helps to touch somebody else's grief we

1269.48 -> share in The Fellowship of suffering it

1272 -> does We There is a fellowship of

1274.64 -> suffering that we share even with Jesus

1276.44 -> right but there is a fellowship of

1279.02 -> suffering that we've all experienced

1280.52 -> lost heartache even though it may be

1282.26 -> different and a house on one dies

1284.419 -> there's always a greater difference in

1286.22 -> that so when you see somebody who's

1288.679 -> having tragedy versus someone who died

1290.96 -> of old age or someone from a heart

1293.84 -> attack or something like that or just

1295.94 -> you know a sickness that just was

1297.799 -> aggressive and just took them out in a

1299.659 -> matter of days we share in that

1302.24 -> suffering of loss yes commonality

1304.82 -> somewhere and so the impact of your

1307.82 -> belief may help somebody else who may be

1310.94 -> feeling like why make it you know or why

1315.559 -> did this happen to me or you know and so

1318.2 -> there is an impact you have on somebody

1320.299 -> else with your testimony why you believe

1322.28 -> I love it and you write about that

1324.559 -> Pastor because my mother told me

1328.22 -> um

1328.96 -> uh not to ever question going

1332.48 -> um she said cause there could be a fatal

1334.159 -> mistake

1335.36 -> he said because he made us all he gave

1338.659 -> us life so she said

1341.179 -> don't give up just hold on

1344.059 -> she's I can't tell you this time next

1347.059 -> year you are feeling entirely different

1348.62 -> she said because that's have to go out

1350.9 -> on how he mindset you to get over amen

1354.38 -> and that's what brought me through

1355.539 -> wonderful that's beautiful that's

1357.919 -> beautiful and that ministers to somebody

1359.6 -> especially you know you may not need

1361.64 -> that right now but somebody on the other

1363.14 -> end who may experience a tragedy may

1365.659 -> need to hear exactly what you say and

1367.58 -> again that's why Peter is saying be

1369.44 -> ready you got to be always unready to

1373.1 -> give the answer because again somebody

1375.2 -> might say I'm gonna ask 10 people today

1376.88 -> yeah Nick might come to you answering

1380.48 -> just exactly what they need

1382.539 -> I love it I love it wonderful somebody

1385.159 -> else jump in

1386.9 -> okay my what makes me believe the way

1390.62 -> that I believe it started as a young

1393.74 -> child you know

1396.039 -> as I witnessed um

1399.86 -> so that is something as I Witness

1404.14 -> what was going on in our lives we were

1407.48 -> not really poor poor

1409.34 -> but I know we went through some

1411.02 -> situations

1412.34 -> and they always came through

1414.919 -> and my grandma my mama would always say

1417.919 -> God has provided God is good so as a

1422.059 -> young child I saw things that God did in

1425.48 -> our lives through my mother and uh my

1428.659 -> grandmother and then as I grew up

1432.679 -> um I witnessed quite a bit in my life

1435.4 -> and I can say

1437.539 -> that God has always been fighting for me

1441.88 -> because as I as I came up

1445.28 -> I could have been molested two times

1448.4 -> but I thought but it wasn't really me

1451.039 -> fighting it was God helping me to get

1454.22 -> out of those situations hey man God has

1457.039 -> always been um God has always done uh

1460.039 -> things in my life and I can feel God

1463.28 -> thank you moving

1466.34 -> in me especially I keep telling people

1469.28 -> about when I was going through my cancer

1472.82 -> I can feel God moving and I I I felt him

1477.86 -> not even just feeling him

1480.559 -> he came to me in a dream and told me I

1484.58 -> was going to be healed and I could feel

1487.28 -> the presence of God all the time that's

1490.58 -> uh that's what makes me believe I can I

1493.28 -> can always feel this present I can I can

1496.159 -> think things

1497.84 -> as I was telling Mary what was going on

1500.24 -> Mary asked me uh where was the Sunday

1503.6 -> school books I said you know what Mary

1505.82 -> I said it was Friday or Saturday I said

1508.4 -> I was in there just thinking because I

1510.5 -> used to have the Sunday school books

1512.84 -> um you know a couple of weeks before

1514.4 -> that deadline so I'm in there I'm in the

1516.679 -> house I said the Sunday School book

1518.059 -> hadn't come

1519.26 -> so then I got on my phone to see had

1522.08 -> they um called me and I also got on my

1524.96 -> phone to um see how I got text messages

1527.919 -> and as I was going through the phone and

1530.48 -> getting all the messages out

1532.7 -> United partial came I bought the Sunday

1536.059 -> school books so I'm always seeing things

1540.2 -> that he he did and I I know he moves in

1543.559 -> my life and I know he is a part of my

1546.919 -> life because I see things down I see

1549.86 -> things little things dearly that God has

1553.64 -> done in my life and I always tell them

1557.24 -> that about my cancer situation and I did

1560.539 -> have a situation a couple of weeks ago

1562.64 -> uh whether there's was a lump in my

1565.52 -> breast and when I went to my doctor he

1568.64 -> said

1569.6 -> that it wasn't looking good and I said

1572.72 -> no

1573.62 -> I said you got to give me a better

1575.24 -> answer than that he said well it's good

1578.419 -> that's what so I did

1581.059 -> um I had a biopsy and um all that it

1585.679 -> wasn't cancer they say it's a fatty

1588.86 -> tissue okay they got some kind of fatty

1591.799 -> tissue that's in there and um

1595.059 -> and so it said it was benign but I

1599.659 -> always do

1601.22 -> witness to a bunch of things it's a lot

1604.22 -> of things that have happened

1606.26 -> and I can witness as a matter of fact

1608.86 -> I've told a lot of the things that have

1611.419 -> happened in my life so that's why when

1614.659 -> God put you through things he wants you

1617.419 -> to learn a lesson he wants you to

1619.82 -> accomplish something from it you want

1622.279 -> you to learn a lesson he wants you to

1623.72 -> accomplish something he wants to speak

1626.539 -> and then you want to know how how I've

1630.5 -> helped somebody I've helped so many

1632.179 -> people

1634.1 -> um who was going through cancer yes I

1637.22 -> have some of my relatives back home they

1639.5 -> would call me when they're first

1641.059 -> diagnosed with cancer and I'll tell them

1643.76 -> some of the things that I I went through

1645.7 -> uh what I did and one thing I told them

1650.299 -> I used to have some bad days so I would

1653.539 -> turn on the TV

1656.419 -> to what's the TBN the one that had all

1660.14 -> the gospel on all day and I make I might

1663.14 -> go to sleep I would listen I don't you

1665.84 -> know some of the people I didn't believe

1667.539 -> but I I was in the word all day and so

1674.299 -> I got a lot I can say about uh

1678.2 -> what makes me believe I have a lot of

1680.84 -> stories I love it I love it mother and

1683.179 -> that's that's impactful that's the

1685.7 -> impact you have to be able to share

1688.52 -> multiple stories uh of your testimony

1691.4 -> and the Bible says that we overcome by

1692.96 -> the words of Our Testimony so I love it

1694.7 -> all right somebody else jump in thank

1696.74 -> you mother that was beautiful thank you

1698.299 -> so much amen praise the Lord everybody

1700.46 -> good to be all I can't be on long but I

1703.7 -> I just wanted to say this

1705.799 -> um and I had to talk now because I keep

1707.84 -> hearing so much it just keep bringing so

1709.52 -> much in my spirit but but

1711.86 -> um the one thing is I you know I thought

1714.679 -> of about uh Paul when Paul says I'm

1717.98 -> persuaded so many things has gone on in

1720.679 -> life so many things has happened and

1722.419 -> every time even as mama was saying uh

1724.88 -> every time something happens God shows

1728.299 -> up God is there and and and the thing

1730.82 -> about it is I don't I I might think that

1735.08 -> I've lost sight of him but he never

1737.84 -> loses side of me and so in every battle

1741.559 -> and every struggle when I was diagnosed

1743.36 -> with this and With This Heart and with

1745.34 -> this aortic aneurysm and when I was

1747.799 -> diagnosed with glaucoma those things

1749.48 -> that that I was diagnosed with as my

1751.34 -> father would know remember I almost died

1753.5 -> when I was I think 18 from from bleeding

1756.5 -> also said if I slept going back to sleep

1758.72 -> I would have died but so many times God

1760.94 -> has kept me and so I'm I'm so reminded

1764 -> of what God has done and so I was

1766.279 -> sitting and I said God what can I say

1767.84 -> just to make people really understand

1769.76 -> what it is when Paul says in this word

1772.64 -> uh but sanctify the Lord in your hearts

1775.52 -> he says now

1776.84 -> remind all these people on this line

1778.82 -> adults have seen places on the highway

1782.059 -> where a crash happened and the family

1784.46 -> went back out and they put the little

1785.899 -> rocks down and they put the cross right

1787.64 -> there and and and that space has been

1790.7 -> Sanctified to that person or those who

1793.1 -> people who died in that place notice

1795.32 -> when the grass is cut they never cut

1797.24 -> across it they never move the bricks

1798.919 -> they never do any of that but that's

1800.72 -> what we have to do with God in our

1802.7 -> hearts is we have to make that space

1805.6 -> recognizable we'd have to make that

1807.98 -> thing in our hearts we have to make we

1810.02 -> have to sanctify him but once we

1811.94 -> sanctify him in our hearts then it

1814.7 -> causes us to live right and and and uh

1817.58 -> you know and causes us to do that which

1819.14 -> is right now this takes me back to the

1820.7 -> second part what you were saying what do

1822.74 -> I do or how can I get other people to

1824.48 -> see that and then I look back up at

1826.34 -> verse nine it says not rendering evil

1828.26 -> for evil or railing for railing meaning

1830.659 -> I uh I know how to cuss just like you I

1834.679 -> was a customer before I got saved I was

1836.48 -> you know I know how to fight just like

1838.22 -> you and and and I know how to be evil

1840.799 -> and how to be mean all that I learned

1842.72 -> that one from from being a child you

1844.88 -> know from growing up so um but once I

1847.82 -> came into the knowledge of God and came

1850.1 -> into this place where I gave God gave my

1852.5 -> life to Christ then there had to be a

1854.779 -> change and it wasn't an instant change I

1857.059 -> tell people all the time stop trying

1858.74 -> people say well if I give my life to

1861.62 -> Christ everything changes and everything

1863.24 -> is good and everything works out in my

1864.98 -> favor and that's not the truth we need

1867.32 -> to know that why what I would have what

1869.6 -> has to happen for me to be able to

1871.22 -> sanctify him is in my heart is I have to

1873.62 -> go through some processes and I have to

1875.539 -> remember that he was there all the time

1877.46 -> every time I broke down he was there

1879.799 -> every time I cried he was there every

1881.6 -> time I was up on the top I may have lost

1884.059 -> sight of him because I had it all but he

1886.34 -> was still there still there and so I'm

1888.62 -> just saying uh as the word of God says

1891.679 -> here you know when you sanctify him in

1893.84 -> your heart you should be in a place

1895.82 -> where when people pass by you just like

1898.1 -> we do with those little crosses on side

1899.659 -> of the road like somebody died there

1901.399 -> when when once you sanctify him in your

1904.039 -> heart people should know who you are you

1906.44 -> don't have to open your mouth and say

1907.76 -> I'm Sanctified you don't have to open

1909.62 -> your mouth I've been touched by the Lord

1911.299 -> I've been but I know if I'm living

1914.539 -> living that which what I'm speaking

1916.1 -> getting out of my mouth if I Sanctified

1918.08 -> him in my heart it causes me to live

1920.299 -> right amen amen yeah man listen I want

1923.48 -> to read this to you because you are

1925.399 -> literally going where I wanted to go at

1926.96 -> the end of this uh conversation and if

1929.36 -> you go everybody go to Second Timothy

1931.46 -> and go to Colossians second Timothy 2

1934.64 -> and 25 says correct opponents with

1937.279 -> gentleness God May perhaps grant them

1940.039 -> repentance so that they may know the

1943.88 -> truth see how you respond because they

1947.24 -> are an opponent until they believe they

1950.299 -> are an opponent they're in opposition

1951.98 -> until you win them over they are an

1955.159 -> appoint opponent the Bible says be wise

1957.919 -> is certain but also harmless as doves

1960.5 -> right yes if you read second Timothy 2

1963.62 -> and 25 just write that down and then I

1966.08 -> want you to look at Colossians four and

1967.94 -> six Colossians 4 and 6 also adds support

1971.12 -> to what brother brother Lynn and brother

1973.039 -> brother Frederick is saying and he's

1974.36 -> saying Colossians 4 6 says this let your

1977.24 -> speech always be with Grace

1980.5 -> season with salt remember yeah that ye

1985.399 -> may know how you ought to answer it each

1989 -> yes person and you can't answer

1991.46 -> everybody the same

1993.399 -> you can't go Stuck on You you can't be

1998 -> so stuck on what you only believe you

2001.12 -> gotta be as well a good listener the

2004 -> Bible said be slow to anger he's as slow

2006.76 -> to speak and quick to listen right

2009.88 -> you gotta you gotta learn how to listen

2013.6 -> to what people are saying because some

2015.76 -> people might be talking to you see

2017.08 -> that's that's one of my favorite movies

2019.059 -> is the Great Debaters you gotta listen

2021.58 -> before you respond to everything because

2024.22 -> you might ruin somebody or harm Somebody

2027.1 -> by the words that are coming out of your

2029.26 -> mouth amen

2038.88 -> the Bible says the weapon of our Warfare

2041.94 -> is not you know carnal

2045.159 -> but it is but Mighty so that means you

2048.339 -> ain't gotta yell

2049.899 -> you ain't got it you ain't gotta roll on

2053.619 -> your neck

2064.74 -> well you just said the Bible says be

2067.599 -> wise as a serpent but humble as a dove

2069.82 -> yes listen to the listen to the the life

2072.639 -> of that serpent the serpent he'll hide

2074.98 -> from you all day long come on through he

2077.379 -> will but but he but he is deadly

2080.389 -> [Music]

2089.099 -> is he is deadly so to be wise as a

2093.46 -> serpent I so I have to learn how to

2095.2 -> avoid what the enemy is throwing my way

2097.78 -> I can learn how to avoid see I can't go

2099.94 -> to every battle ready to fight that's

2101.8 -> right sometimes I just got to go to the

2103.72 -> battle and be just say I'm here you know

2105.4 -> don't worry I'm good but and to be wise

2108.46 -> as a as a dove I'm so I got there's so

2111.64 -> much peace on me because I've Sanctified

2114.339 -> God in my heart there's so much Amen on

2117.04 -> me yes I can sit right there you I can

2119.38 -> be so quiet you don't even know I'm here

2121.119 -> because of the things that rest upon me

2124.119 -> because now I've Sanctified Christ in my

2126.52 -> heart so I I just had to hit that

2128.38 -> serpent part in the Dove part and I'm

2130 -> back out yeah yeah this is this is why

2133.54 -> we have

2134.5 -> to be that quiet yeah yeah that's why we

2137.26 -> gotta have this yes sir

2139.38 -> that's why we got to have this

2141.28 -> conversation because again we have to be

2143.619 -> mindful that we don't have to respond to

2145.359 -> everything

2146.2 -> we don't have to be married I want to

2148.66 -> say you don't have to be triggered by

2150.04 -> everything but remember you're hearing

2152.079 -> this lesson tonight from the voice of

2154.42 -> Peter who was the most triggered

2155.92 -> disciple Jesus had

2158.02 -> Peter was always triggered by something

2160.359 -> but in his in his failure he learned

2164.14 -> humility

2165.28 -> in his Redemption he understands that

2168.099 -> look man me having a hot head don't

2170.14 -> prove anything

2171.28 -> but I gotta always have an answer in

2173.5 -> other words when those people came to

2175.24 -> him and said you would want to hit you

2176.92 -> with Jesus he he wasn't prepared to give

2178.96 -> it an answer at that point in time and

2180.82 -> so when Peter says always be prepared I

2184.119 -> want you to understand that ain't just

2185.74 -> casual advice he's coming from a failure

2190.3 -> he's coming from a piece of experience

2192.94 -> you see and so what Paul is saying in in

2196.38 -> Colossians what he's saying uh what he's

2199.3 -> ministering to and he's talking about in

2201.579 -> first Timothy he's letting this young

2203.26 -> man know look young man you need a

2205.24 -> correspond to people who are going to

2207.22 -> oppose you in your youth in your

2209.56 -> inexperience young people who are just

2211.66 -> coming to Christ and listen you can be

2213.64 -> an older person just new to Christ and

2215.98 -> not knowing what to say to somebody

2217.3 -> who's been in Christ a long time giving

2219.339 -> you a hard time you yourself have to

2222.4 -> learn how to correct people with

2224.68 -> gentlemen

2235.42 -> you see

2236.68 -> I want to hear some I see sister

2259 -> was like in my 20s I had really got

2261.4 -> heavy and deep into the church and I

2264.339 -> never really knew outside of I think it

2266.859 -> was um uh Miss Barbara how she was

2270.339 -> saying what she was told or someone

2272.02 -> someone I heard when I was online they

2274 -> were speaking of what they were taught

2275.74 -> for me the reason why I think that the

2278.92 -> way that I do about

2280.72 -> um Jesus and God is because of my

2283.42 -> personal experiences and not only what I

2287.619 -> learned or what people told or what I

2289.599 -> heard growing up but I was in the Bible

2292.24 -> like I said in my 20s I straight away

2295.06 -> with my 30s

2297.22 -> um my guy friend now his thing is he's

2300.04 -> really wanting to build that relay

2301.3 -> relationship with God so him not knowing

2304.42 -> what he was instilling in himself or

2306.16 -> putting himself through I've actually

2307.96 -> within I guess I would say this last

2311.32 -> six to seven months I've read the Bible

2314.32 -> from beginning to end I'm in the Book of

2316.78 -> Revelations and I told him just the

2319.839 -> other day that hey you know what it's a

2322.42 -> good feeling I feel like I feel

2325 -> weightless being you know learning the

2327.64 -> word the scripture building a better

2329.98 -> relationship than when I was than when I

2332.5 -> had in my 20s I see things I interpret

2335.98 -> things I understand things a lot more

2338.26 -> clearer so when I hear

2341.14 -> um what it is

2342.88 -> um justify the the Christian song I

2345.099 -> forgot the artist but when he talks

2347.14 -> about David Daniel it's like oh I know

2350.56 -> exactly what you're talking about

2352 -> because I can relate now I understand

2354.88 -> and because I on I understand on margins

2357.88 -> not what someone else told me not what I

2361.06 -> heard I had and I also have a closeout

2363.7 -> with this I also told him the other day

2365.5 -> I said it feels good being able to speak

2367.839 -> because everybody knows my journey what

2370.42 -> I'm doing which is building my our

2371.68 -> relationship with God and so back in the

2375.099 -> day it used to be if you don't want to

2376.66 -> talk about God you don't want to say

2378.22 -> anything because you may offend somebody

2379.92 -> but now I've got into a place where I

2383.32 -> don't care this is who I am and I'm

2385.9 -> going to speak and lastly I've gotten to

2389.92 -> a place where it seems like you know

2391.54 -> what you'll say something and it happens

2393.579 -> or it comes back so with that

2395.26 -> conversation the very next day I read

2397.78 -> universe and the same thing came back

2400.119 -> which was Philippians 2 13 and into this

2403.48 -> phase for God is working in you giving

2405.82 -> you the desire and the power to do what

2407.68 -> pleases him that interpretation was

2411.46 -> um if an idea pops up into your head

2413.74 -> about a blessing encouraging someone

2415.9 -> don't dismiss it it's the spirit leading

2418.48 -> you just taking it wrong with it so for

2420.64 -> me that was a sign of baby he working

2422.68 -> you see

2428.94 -> and thank you for making your way on the

2431.92 -> platform so you can share that with us

2433.599 -> because that has an impact you're not

2436.3 -> the only person I like when you hear

2438.52 -> people say there are no no bad questions

2440.619 -> no bad answers because some people might

2443.38 -> be thinking the same way you are so I

2445.599 -> love that you share that thank you so

2447.16 -> much

2448.119 -> yeah absolutely I see brother McCoy your

2451.54 -> mic is open you want to say anything who

2453.46 -> else y'all jumping again I want to know

2455.56 -> why is it you believe and what impact do

2458.38 -> you think can have on others

2460.54 -> well for me

2462.76 -> I know how some people hi hey everybody

2465.22 -> so for me I think um

2468.339 -> it really felt like I mean I know we all

2470.38 -> have a choice but for me it kind of felt

2472.599 -> like I didn't which was okay with me but

2475 -> I was born when I said you know my

2477.099 -> grandma always says come on your life

2478.599 -> and all of this stuff you know but it's

2480.4 -> just it's just this feeling that I've

2482.859 -> had from

2484.9 -> the beginning

2486.3 -> of knowing god even being little you

2489.7 -> know and I remember just singing like

2491.32 -> these older you know songs and things

2492.88 -> like that with my uncle and and with my

2494.92 -> family but it's just that's just been me

2496.599 -> it's always just like God has always

2497.98 -> been with me I have gone through things

2499.66 -> that have not been in my best but God

2501.7 -> has always been there and it's like some

2505.24 -> situations that I could that could have

2507.22 -> turned wrong like is you know times I

2509.56 -> could have went to jail or anything like

2511.48 -> that God has delivered

2514.119 -> and when I say he has delivered he had

2516.22 -> delivered in such an awesome way so it's

2518.38 -> like I don't have you know I just know

2520.119 -> he's been there with me all my life and

2522.579 -> I know and I know that feeling that I

2524.14 -> had because I've always felt him there

2525.64 -> even when I was going through no matter

2528.28 -> what it was I've always felt his

2529.9 -> presence there and that's why it's

2531.16 -> always helped me to push through the

2532.9 -> pain and through everything that you

2535.359 -> know I had been going through so it's

2537.52 -> just like he's just always been ever

2539.02 -> ever present with me praise the Lord

2541.56 -> how's that impacting others

2545.26 -> um well for me it has impacted others

2547.24 -> because I've been able to lead other

2548.5 -> people to Christ and that has been um a

2551.44 -> blessing just even that and you know

2553.54 -> just the testimony and things like that

2555.22 -> I've been able to help people even as a

2557.02 -> young adult I was able to help lead

2558.76 -> people to Christ so that's where it's

2561.64 -> been blessed to me and I are being a

2563.02 -> blessing to others I believe awesome

2564.88 -> awesome thank you for sharing that

2566.5 -> Monique Kimberly you're next and then

2569.38 -> we're gonna have sister McClendon gonna

2571.359 -> come after you

2572.98 -> all right good evening everyone

2575.74 -> um this this topic is it's really funny

2578.92 -> that this topic is here tonight

2581.74 -> um I have a daughter and she is 17. so

2586.48 -> I'm fat and she's growing up but um

2588.339 -> she's we've been having this dialogue

2590.74 -> about

2592.18 -> Jesus and remains Christ and having your

2596.26 -> relationship with God and everything and

2598.42 -> she she's struggling I don't use the

2601.24 -> word struggle but her questions mirror

2604.3 -> my questions when I was her age but for

2607.42 -> the fact of someone's telling you to

2609.76 -> believe how do you know for yourself you

2614.02 -> know I've had to show her so many

2617.14 -> examples of how it couldn't have been no

2620.02 -> one but God

2622.359 -> but for God being there

2625.18 -> I wouldn't be here today but for God

2628.599 -> being there this situation wouldn't have

2631.24 -> happened and I've explained to her

2634.839 -> um one particular day

2638.319 -> I was on my way to Fort McPherson

2640.42 -> minding my business got on 20. I saw

2645.099 -> this 18-wheeler behind me but I painted

2649.54 -> no mind because I'm I'm ashamed of it

2652.02 -> and this car

2654.52 -> Cuts me off

2657.28 -> and I noticed 18 wheeler is to my left

2660.22 -> and my car starts spinning in the middle

2662.319 -> of 20.

2663.819 -> and I said well

2666.099 -> God I can't do it and I let go of the

2668.619 -> will

2669.46 -> I don't remember nothing else besides my

2672.28 -> car it's stopped on us on the shoulder

2675.099 -> pointing in the opposite direction this

2678.28 -> lady and her husband stopped their car

2680.2 -> on the highway as well he got out and

2682.18 -> said we just knew you were about to die

2685.24 -> because the truck was literally about to

2688 -> hit you and I say but that day but for

2691.18 -> God being there I would not be here

2693.7 -> because I did nothing besides take my

2696.76 -> hands off the wheel

2698.88 -> and so that's how I told my daughter I

2701.98 -> say listen there's nothing I can tell

2704.44 -> you there's nothing your grandmother can

2706.359 -> tell you there's nothing no one can tell

2708.099 -> you besides there's going to be moments

2710.02 -> you're going to go through life and know

2712.119 -> that nobody did this but Jesus and

2716.079 -> you'll know when it's him

2717.579 -> my gosh

2752.38 -> I just wanted to kind of um piggyback on

2755.2 -> Michelle because she just kind of really

2758.26 -> touched me because

2760.66 -> knowing that God is with you I mean my

2763.48 -> parents know my sibling know a lot of

2765.76 -> people know I was a team I was a Teen

2767.619 -> Mom I had Michelle as a teenager and

2770.8 -> being able to get from that point to

2774.16 -> this point and even to hear her say what

2777.22 -> she said

2778.66 -> um it just lets me know that even then

2780.64 -> even now like God is like I'm still

2783.4 -> doing what I promised I'll do and I

2787 -> remember the day and I tell people this

2789.819 -> I remember the day y'all I do apologize

2793.18 -> to my dog in the background we're gonna

2795.7 -> have to pray for him he must have the

2796.96 -> devil and he won't make noise while we

2798.339 -> on here but anyway

2800.68 -> um I remember the day that I um

2804.579 -> I I think I told my brother I told my

2807.099 -> husband I remember the day when it was

2809.44 -> like the Lord was like in this in the

2811.839 -> seat next to me I remember the turn I

2813.819 -> was making and he was like I'm here know

2816.64 -> this Spirit if you know this Spirit you

2818.74 -> know I'm with you

2820 -> and so with that I just know that he's

2823.3 -> with us and I I know he's I just know

2826.66 -> he's with me and like I tell people all

2828.579 -> the time on my headstone it's gonna say

2831.579 -> I know where I'm going without a shadow

2833.74 -> of a doubt you can't tell me there ain't

2835.78 -> no person on this Earth can tell me that

2838.24 -> I'm not gonna make it they have to be

2839.56 -> when I get there he send me somewhere

2863.44 -> brought you boy that's the greatest

2865.48 -> story you can share with somebody

2867.16 -> because some people out here really lost

2869.68 -> they don't know if they need to believe

2872.26 -> in Jesus because they've seen and

2874.119 -> witnessed and experienced Church hurts

3367.04 -> well uh can I say a couple of words real

3369.839 -> quick go ahead

3371.94 -> um Pastor

3373.559 -> um I was just thinking and about

3376.26 -> everything that um everyone had said

3379.44 -> about

3380.46 -> um how

3382.02 -> um how they know

3384.18 -> um

3384.9 -> that um God is um is real and what it

3388.68 -> means to them and just thinking about I

3393.18 -> can go back to uh I've ever since I was

3396.839 -> young I always knew there was more

3399.599 -> and I was searching as I matured for

3403.8 -> that more that was missing from life

3406.319 -> that because I knew that there was

3408.42 -> something that was missing that I didn't

3410.579 -> have yet and and I wasn't going to be

3413.099 -> complete until I got what was missing

3416.76 -> out of my life and and for me it was

3420.839 -> kind of like an experience with power

3422.94 -> where I had a personal experience with

3426.119 -> God and from that experience that I had

3429.3 -> with with him at that moment I knew that

3432.839 -> that was what I needed in my life to uh

3436.38 -> to feel and make me complete at that

3438.78 -> time and after my experience with him

3442.38 -> there was nothing else that could

3444.839 -> separate me from the Lord there was

3447.119 -> nothing else that anyone could could say

3449.52 -> it was in nothing else that anyone could

3451.619 -> do it wasn't anything that anyone could

3453.9 -> bring to me that was better than my

3457.2 -> relationship with the Lord and my

3459.24 -> experience with him and in in the midst

3462.96 -> of me growing and getting to know him

3465.48 -> more and seeing how he's faithful to his

3468.66 -> words because I I've seen some people

3471.54 -> that weren't faithful I've been in some

3474.059 -> places that weren't good I've been um

3476.819 -> through some things that were hard to

3479.46 -> take but God was always faithful he

3484.2 -> always delivered me from different

3486.359 -> things he always showed up right on time

3490.02 -> he didn't show up when I wanted him to

3491.88 -> yeah but he showed up right on time let

3495.72 -> me know that it was him and one of the

3499.859 -> most devastating things was uh right

3502.859 -> after my uh mother died because me and

3506.099 -> her were so close and we did so many

3508.319 -> different things together and when she

3512.4 -> passed there was

3514.619 -> um a ache in me that nobody could take

3518.579 -> away

3519.359 -> and it was just and it was draining me

3522.299 -> down until I could just go to him and

3525.66 -> said Lord I can't make it no more and he

3529.2 -> took the pain and the ache and

3530.94 -> everything from me and said the same

3533.28 -> thing that you had for your mother I Am

3535.68 -> With You Always and that release that he

3539.46 -> gave me I said there ain't no way I

3541.859 -> would turn my uh uh back from God

3545.059 -> or anyone else amen amen I know

3550.319 -> Minister Evans I'm gonna tell you

3870.54 -> that because you really kind of unpacked

3872.7 -> that verse nine that that that we were

3875.64 -> talking about earlier in in first Peter

3878.52 -> three that verse 9 that just talking

3880.799 -> about don't render evil for evil or

3882.599 -> railing for railing I mean you really

3884.64 -> brought that home because sometimes

3885.96 -> we're confronted with all kinds of stuff

3887.819 -> but it's wonderful just to hear the

3890.46 -> other side of somebody who's had a

3891.839 -> blessed life because when you begin to

3893.579 -> think of the goodness of Jesus and all

3895.26 -> he's done you'll find that you've had

3896.76 -> more good than bad

3898.38 -> you know you we've all had more good

3901.38 -> than bad and so sometimes just being

3903.66 -> reminded that that's possible

3905.64 -> that's powerful so thank you for sharing

3908.28 -> that God bless you all right anybody

3910.14 -> else before we wrap up I want to make

3911.76 -> sure if you if you want to say something

3913.14 -> I want you to do me a favor I want you

3914.579 -> to press the hand button that's sitting

3916.68 -> at the bottom just before you see the

3918.18 -> hang up button don't hit the hang up

3920.04 -> button but look for the hand where it's

3922.92 -> like this and raise your hand if you

3924.54 -> want to say something uh please I I want

3927.059 -> to hear from you before we stop and I've

3929.099 -> just really enjoyed this conversation

3930.599 -> tonight so if you want to say something

3932.4 -> go ahead and raise your hand uh and

3934.619 -> we're gonna just wrap it up and uh I've

3936.839 -> just enjoyed this conversation tonight

3939.72 -> um as we have just kind of talked and I

3942.599 -> don't see any end so as I conclude uh if

3945.9 -> I see you here and I'll stop but as

3947.46 -> we're concluding I want you to know that

3949.98 -> it's important that we study God's word

3951.78 -> to validate why it is we believe you

3955.559 -> know you want to validate with the word

3957.78 -> I love that you know some of the

3959.52 -> opinions that you have are backed up by

3961.68 -> scripture

3962.819 -> you know you hear me talking just in a

3965.7 -> general conversation and I'll cite some

3967.5 -> scriptures and I may not tell you

3968.94 -> exactly where it is but I know it's in

3970.38 -> the book I may

3972.559 -> paraphrase it in some way because I have

3975.66 -> that's how I make it real for me because

3978.059 -> I have to be be mindful that the word

3980.4 -> talks about uh hiding the word in your

3983.099 -> heart so that you don't sin against the

3985.559 -> Lord so when you know that the Bible

3987.42 -> says certain things you begin to enrap

3989.46 -> that into your mindset in your behavior

3992.039 -> in your thinking you know in in that way

3995.4 -> those scriptures become a part of your

3997.319 -> lifestyle you know the Bible says be ye

4000.079 -> holy for I am Holy so I seek to be more

4003.02 -> like the Lord every day and so when we

4005.42 -> pray for wisdom we pray for Spiritual uh

4008.299 -> illumination and understanding we doing

4010.88 -> that you know and you have to do that to

4012.92 -> to see God's counsel for Godly

4014.9 -> individuals uh in your path you want God

4017.66 -> to send you the right people you want

4019.76 -> the Lord to be my you want the Lord to

4021.98 -> put the right people in your your life

4023.48 -> so that you can glean from them and pull

4025.76 -> from them and I can't tell you how many

4027.92 -> wonderful people God has put in my life

4029.599 -> I thank God for each of you how God has

4032 -> put you in my path uh that I'm gleaning

4034.64 -> from even tonight I've just gleaned some

4036.38 -> wonderful nuggets from each of you on

4038.42 -> tonight we have to have number three a

4041.299 -> honest desire

4042.859 -> you got to have an honest a true and

4045.92 -> honest desire to learn the truth and you

4048.74 -> got so many people who are like that

4050.66 -> that movie you can't handle the truth

4052.579 -> you got some people who don't want to

4054.2 -> know the truth the Bible say the truth

4055.819 -> will make you free I know we say it a

4058.22 -> set you free but it'll actually make you

4060.2 -> free uh and you gotta have honest desire

4063.079 -> to to want to learn the truth and

4066.44 -> sometimes the truth uh ain't fun you

4069.619 -> know sometimes the truth telling you you

4071.66 -> ain't all that you know nobody wants to

4073.88 -> hear that when you think you all that

4076.52 -> sometimes you need to hear you ain't all

4078.559 -> that you know uh and that's a hard truth

4081.38 -> the Bible says man ought to not think

4083.059 -> more or highly of himself than he ought

4085.039 -> to right and that's a humbling truth

4088.039 -> right to humble yourself before the Lord

4090.319 -> and we don't want to know that you know

4091.76 -> but again these are some of the benefits

4093.74 -> of just uh Understanding God's word and

4096.859 -> knowing why that's your belief and when

4098.359 -> we do that we'll become more convinced

4100.219 -> that what we believe is actually true

4102.62 -> when you begin to study that word and

4104.6 -> you find scriptures that validate white

4106.339 -> as you believe now you'll believe that

4108.679 -> it's even more true than ever because

4110.12 -> you got back up and you've seen it and

4112.16 -> you can understand it and we'll also

4113.54 -> learn that what we believe is is is

4116.96 -> actually God ordained or God design uh

4121.279 -> we'll see that God's influence on our

4123.08 -> lives is really happening and so uh this

4126.259 -> is important that we do this and again I

4128.48 -> appreciate you all sharing tonight

4130.64 -> but why does why does you believe what

4132.98 -> you believe and how it impacts others

4135.56 -> people's lives because at the end of the

4137.239 -> day that's why we're gonna be uh uh

4140.299 -> judged on that's what we're going to be

4142.12 -> uh uh uh assessed on how did your life

4145.94 -> touch somebody else's how did your

4148.88 -> experience bless somebody else because

4151.279 -> watch this

4152.48 -> brother Tim I don't have to go through

4154.4 -> what you went through to appreciate what

4156.679 -> you went through

4158.12 -> I can share with somebody else your

4160.64 -> testimony not having gone through it

4163.1 -> sister Henry not having gone through

4165.38 -> what you've gone through but I could

4166.759 -> tell somebody about a a sister Henry I

4170.779 -> can tell somebody about a Juanita

4172.219 -> McClendon I can tell a young lady that

4175.219 -> who who was a Teen Mom that that she has

4178.279 -> a daughter who is now an adult who also

4181.94 -> Walks With God he said I mean I can tell

4184.64 -> somebody about a minister uh Mary Evans

4188.299 -> who was close to her mother but also

4191.239 -> felt a pain and a sense of aching and

4194.719 -> Agony but yes she found healing as God

4198.56 -> healed her now her walk is even closer

4201.26 -> and stronger because God comforted her

4204.14 -> remember the scripture says blessing be

4206.179 -> the God of all comfortable Comforts us

4208.04 -> with the Comfort we therefore Comfort

4209.719 -> others with right and so we begin to

4212.54 -> manifest and see those things and

4214.46 -> because we have experienced that Comfort

4216.739 -> we can now confident the people see what

4219.44 -> I'm saying so these scriptures come to

4221 -> align based off of what we understand

4223.34 -> and again there's no point in

4225.199 -> understanding there's no point in in in

4227.42 -> walking around with the Bible if he

4229.28 -> can't bring us Comfort brother Tim amen

4231.56 -> you ought not to be the only person who

4233.42 -> can take that Bible and put it

4235.04 -> underneath your bed and underneath your

4236.659 -> pillow I had it close by the bed stand

4238.4 -> where it just helped you to sleep

4240.38 -> peacefully knowing that that word is

4242.239 -> right there you know uh it you know it's

4244.82 -> okay to have that so again all of you

4248.12 -> have shared tonight uh something that

4250.88 -> can be very impactful and again

4253.82 -> um this lesson tonight was really

4256.28 -> to just encourage us that what you've

4259.159 -> been through is worth sharing with other

4260.54 -> people and you all got something to say

4262.82 -> don't feel like you got to be a

4265.58 -> theological trained preacher Pastor to

4269.179 -> share the word of God Amen and you can

4271.4 -> share the word with just anybody so I

4274.52 -> pray that you have been blessed by this

4276.5 -> word tonight by this this conversation

4278.78 -> tonight uh this is why we jump on Bible

4281.3 -> study because it helps us to appreciate

4283.699 -> you know I like the term Bible

4285.44 -> appreciation because you learn to

4287.6 -> appreciate this word of God and a lot of

4289.46 -> times when you find yourself lost and

4291.14 -> confused just flip the description you

4293.6 -> might accidentally stumble upon what you

4296.179 -> need in that moment and if you can't

4298.4 -> find it Google it like we Google

4299.78 -> everything else

4302.659 -> Lord what do I do about this my child

4305 -> cutting up Lord what I do about my

4306.98 -> feelings I have some mixed feelings

4308.3 -> about so and so what does the Bible say

4310.04 -> about this Google it amen he done gave

4312.679 -> us Google so let's use it amen let's

4315.14 -> let's have a good time in the Lord so

4316.82 -> God God bless you I'm done with that

4319.52 -> being said we're gonna dismiss tonight

4321.32 -> I'm gonna ask my chairman uh Deacon out

4325.1 -> tonight he's he's jumped in a little bit

4327.32 -> and now I want to hear from him if he

4329.42 -> would just dismiss us with our closing

4331.58 -> remarks and just dismiss us with a word

4333.56 -> prayer digging out would you do that for
