If you'd be so kind, those of you that are running the stream for the scripture, would you get me Numbers chapter 7, verse number one. We've heard from heaven tonight. Brother Hammond has walked in the Holy Ghost tonight. >> You hear me? He's walked in the Holy Ghost tonight. And uh I appreciate everything that he said. I appreciate everything that he said. There's no big eyes or little U on staff here. I said there's no big eyes or little U's that go to this church. >> There's no important people. There's no important people. I've walked in the strength I've walked in the strength of a church that has prayed for me. A church that has prayed for me for several years. They're both dead and gone now. But for several years, two men in this church woke up at 4:30 every morning. Before my feet would ever hit the floor, before I'd ever wake up, Brother Ly and Brother Ray Casebo was already up as praying, "God, give their pastor strength." So I walked in strength. That was the prayers produced by other people. All I've ever known really is this church. I was 20 years old when I preached this church for the first time. All I've really ever known was this church right here and the people here at this church. There's no big eyes or little U's here. There's no big eyes and little you there. There's no there's no big givers and small givers here. You hear me? There's no big givers. There's no small givers here. We're just givers. There's no big worshippers here and no little worship. We're all just worship. Some run an aisle and some sit on the pew and worship God, but we're still worshiping God. Amen. >> Numbers chapter 7 verse number one. Will the Hammond and I I'll study this out. I'm going to be very transparent with you, but this just came to me while he was preaching and he was so anointed that I didn't really want to research it, but I just kept looking at it. I kept looking at it. Number 71 came to pass on on on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and it anointed it and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both of the altar and of the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them, that the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered. They brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, 12 oxen, a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox, and they brought them before the tabernacle. Here's my thought, and I'm I'm just researching this out. I don't read anywhere where God told them to to build wagons. I don't read anywhere in scripture that God said build a wagon. I I read where he said build an altar and build a labor and build this. But brothers, I don't read anywhere where he said build a wagon. But there was some men in the congregation that said, you know, that wood is going to be heavy to move that. Why don't we build something that would make their load a little bit lighter? Why don't we try to consider our brother The Bible said the next verse, "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, take it of them that they may that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service." Now, now here's what I'm saying. Moses took, next verse, Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them unto the Levites. Nowhere do we find where God told them to build wagons.
