I'm to close, but right before I walked out of here, my mind went back that had a significant role. because the curtains weren't open long on him. He's often overlooked. The scripture says, "And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was And the same man was just and devout, living with a fork for the consolation of Israel." And the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not seek death God before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the spirit with a fork in his hand into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him after the custom of the law, SIMEON TO I KNEW IT. HE TAKES HIM IN HIS He's got the baby in his one hand. He's got the baby in one arm and in the He's wore down the handle from hanging on so tight. And he said, "I knew it. Now I can die and your servant can depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen the salvation, thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face Simeon had a promise. You won't die till you see it. And all of those years he stood next to people like the prophetus Anna 84 years old. God still giving herself to prayer and fasting. still giving herself to the ministry of the fork. I know it's going to happen, I know it's going to happen. I'm not just talking about it happening on forest soil, Joe Booker. I'm talking about it happening in our local And if you could see in the grand stands of eternity, Hebrews chapter 11, we're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, brother Borne. And you know what convicts me, Bishop Carpenter, is the scripture said, some of those people in those grand stands, But even death, even death could not get them to relinquish their fork. And they died in faith. They died And the scripture says that they cannot be made perfect and what they did cannot be made perfect without us. And if you think that they died having not seen the promise with a fork and you think we can live without living with a I believe every one of those stories. I believe every one of them. A week from now, I'm going to pull up to the table and I hope y'all tell them all over And he, the God of your parents, hasn't changed. And we're trying to do this with all kinds of other things in our hands. And God said, "Don't you understand? Without forks, The fork is a tool of expectation. Bury me, pastor. Don't just let them cry at my funeral that the best Put down Just like he did it for his daddy, your boys are going to watch him do it for I know it's impossible for everybody to get around this front. I just feel like something good. David Jennings, I don't know where you're at, but I need you to get your aame on right now. There's my friend. We've been pulling in the yoke a lot together.

Mine has been nowhere even comparable to But when the disease and infectious daughter looks at you and says you're the only person I've ever seen with all of this, that it went untreated and they And the reason he told me that, he said, "This has done stuff to your nervous system that you'll have to live with the rest of your life." But it was like a consolation prize if you lived. Again, not even comparable to what you've been through. But I made my mind up this afternoon. Come on. I think there's some coconut cream pie coming.
