Summary

Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.

The night they caught nothing

  • He reads from John 21: after the crucifixion the disciples' world is shattered, Peter says he is going fishing, and the others answer at once that they will go with him — they went forth immediately, and that night they caught nothing.
  • It matters who you allow to speak into your life: the voices you let in are speaking into your future, and there are spirits, human and hellish, that call backsliding progress — backwards is still backwards however loudly it is named.
  • They are going back to what they can compute and what they are experts in, but God will let you fail where you used to succeed once you have been an eyewitness of too much.
  • The voice from the shore is no stranger but the Savior: when the Answer asks a question — children, have you any meat? — he does not need the answer; he needs you to know it. When you are down to nothing, God is up to something, and nothing is miracle material.
  • Cast the net on the right side: obedience means getting over whatever snags everybody else — past trauma, church hurt, unforgiveness, anger — and the net comes up too full for them to draw it into the boat.

Scriptures: John 21:1-12

Let him cook

  • The disciple whom Jesus loved is the first to say, It is the Lord: God is raising up people who will not be known by their name but by their devotion.
  • Peter puts on his coat and swims to shore; not every moment is a water-walking moment, and it is not God's will for you to have an anointed moment but a defeated life — whatever you have to do, get to Jesus.
  • On the shore there is no angry father waiting: nail-scarred hands have been cooking while Peter was running, and the Jesus who told him beforehand that he would deny him three times also told him the rooster crows at the beginning of a day — his mercies are new every morning.
  • Three times he asks, Do you love me? Failure does not have to make you a failure; he will use failure as an ingredient, and all things work together for the good when you let him cook.
  • Tonight is not a night of calling but a night of answers: the call has been going forth since before you were born, and God does not need your understanding — he needs your yes, not just your lips on a Sunday but your life on Monday.

Scriptures: John 21

Scripture index: John 21; John 21:1-12.

Hallelujah I'm so grateful to be in the presence of God with my brothers and my sisters I'm so grateful to be in the presence of God with the body of Christ and uh this is my first Strong Tower so I don't have a whole lot of street cred um but I already love you so if you don't love me I really don't care I like you so if you don't like me it's a hostage situation deal with it um but I'm I've just been overwhelmed by the spirit of excellence and the hunger the expectancy and the anticipation that has been made manifest uh last night uh in brother porterfield's message throughout the worship service into the altar call and then again this morning uh with brother Robert's ministering the word of the Lord uh and I I just I just feel uh that there's just going to be a compounding in the spirit I just believe that service by service session by session that the Lord is going to do what only he can get credit for amen that's my prayer I want the Lord to do things that only he can do I was in service a few months ago in Canada uh which is pretty much overseas It's Not Over the Sea but they only have like two Chick-fil-A uh so they're pretty much foreign territory and uh I had ministered the word of the Lord and I came down off the platform and there was a a young youth pastor that greeted me he said Landon I I want to tell you a testimony could I share with you a testimony I don't mean to interrupt but don't have you noticed that all during conference people that want to interrupt always start out by saying I don't mean to interrupt that's just a little passive aggressive shout out to a few people that interrupted me this week um he said Landon Landon can I can I I don't mean to interrupt but I want to share a testimony I said absolutely we know that God is moving collectively um in services like this but sometimes we miss the subtleties and the nuances of what God is doing in each and every life and so I I truly want to know what God has done he said well lately the Lord has been speaking to me he's been asking me to step out for him in my faith and to do some pretty bold Kingdom things that I just don't know if I can do and I just told the Lord Lord I'm different I'm unique I'm weird I'm an anomaly he said but that was before tonight's service he said then I heard you preach and I told the Lord if you can use him I know that you can use me it was about as awkward as your clap right now I said thank you so very much for your amazing Stellar testimony in my head I said walk away fool um but that is my prayer tonight uh I want the Lord to use every single person in this house tonight if you're weird if you're dumb if you're smart if you're a genius if you're athletic if you're a nerd whoever you are wherever you are um I just happen to believe that the Lord is going to use every singular soul in this house I believe a word is going to go to you but then I believe the spirit is going to move through you I I just don't believe it's going to be brother porterfield's hand that's going to be laid on him everybody I don't believe brother Hammond's going to be able to get to every student I believe men and women under the sound of my voice are going to pra somebody through to the Holy Ghost tonight I believe the gifts of the Spirit are going to operate through your faith and your tenacity and your prayer I believe a diagnosis can be reversed because of your boldness in the spirit I believe a calling can be solidified because of the prayers coming from your mouth and if you believe that I believe that tonight I want you to go with me in your Bibles to the Book of John chapter 21 The Book of John chapter 21 The Book of John chapter 21 thank you to the musicians and the singers for leading us into the presence of the Lord tonight uh thank you to Back Porch media for helping us out thank you to left brain for all the hard work that they're doing and I salute all of those a part of the Stellar team that is making uh this week the reality of Excellence that it is and again I have to salute uh brother Zach and his entire team they're the ones that are responsible or irresponsible for me being here tonight and uh it's an honor um we've tried to make it happen a few times and it just hasn't worked out but I believe in the timing of the Lord I really do and I'm actually extra grateful to be teamed up with brother Cory Porterfield and um so I'll just selfishly admit that the timing of God it always it's always perfect and so I'm so grateful um to just be teamed up with everyone here this week and I believe the Lord's going to speak to us tonight I believe tonight is a night of calling here's what I've learned about the call of God I celebrate every story I'm not here to cross theological swords with anyone's narrative or reference there's many people that can point back to a moment and say you know what it was it was over Thanksgiving weekend that I received a call to preach was at a sectional rally on a Friday night that I answered the call for Missions work it was in the middle of the night dur an intercessory prayer that I received a call of ministry I just happen to believe that the call of God has been going forth for a very long time that's not the night that you are called that's the night that you answered the call of Heaven has been going forth for eons before time while you were in your mother's womb if he could ordain the prophet to be a prophet in his mother's belly I just believe that he has already ordained a who you would be in him so I don't just believe that tonight will be a night of calling I believe tonight ultimately will be a night of answers I know I'm speaking on your behalf right now but I just happen to believe that there's a few hundred young men and women that are going to answer the voice of Eternity before this night is over do you believe that I believe it John chap 21 John CH 21 and verse1 if you're there say Amen if you're not there say Amen if you're just saying Amen to say Amen say amen I appreciate your honesty John 21:1 after these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of tiberias on this wi showed he himself that were together Simon Peter and Thomas called dimus Nathaniel of canaa and Galilee the sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples Simon Peter said unto them I go a fishing they say unto him we also go with thee so they went forth and they entered into the boat immediately and that night they caught nothing but when the morning was now come they knew not that it was Jesus then Jesus saith unto them children have you any meat and they answered him no and he said unto them cast the net on the right side of the boat you will find they cast therefore and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes therefore the disciples whom Jesus loved the disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Simon Peter it is the Lord now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord he put on his Fisher's coat for he was unclothed and he did jump he did cast himself into the water the other disciples came closer to the shore verse 9 as soon as they were come to the land they saw a fire of coals there fish laid thereon and bread verse 10 says Jesus responds to them and he says bring the fish which ye have now caught so they began to bring the great catch a fish from the Nets and the boats verse 12 Jesus saith unto them come and die for the next few moments I want to preach to you on this simple subject let him cook I want you to turn to your neighbor and I want you to tell them those words let him cook I want you to turn to your neighbor the one you just awkwardly rejected and I want you to tell them let him cook I want you to scream at somebody in another row and tell them I said let him cook would you put down your notepad would you put down your iPad would you put down your Bible your iPhone I really believe in agreeing with your faith and your prayer so would you lift your voice with me and would you lift your prayers with me and we believe that God's going to speak to us so by faith could we just thank him for speaking right now God by the power of your word and the authority of your name I thank you for your already anointed word that is about to go forth it will not return void let us not just be hearers of the word but let us be doers of the word let us not be Spectators but participators let my mouth be your megaphone let the angels of the Lord traffic this house and minister to the hirs of Salvation and do what I cannot do do what these musicians cannot do do what this committee cannot do do what we in our intellect and strength and Humanity cannot do and we will give you all of the glory and the honor for for yours is the kingdom forever and ever and ever and ever in Jesus name somebody shout in jesus' name just a little bit louder somebody shout in Jesus name I need a few overachievers to help me out one more time would you just shout in jesus' name and if you believe in the power of that prayer I wonder if you would just clap your hands one more time unto the Lord would you just give a signal to the spirit world God bless you you may be seated tonight Jesus has looked at Simon Peter and he has declared to him Upon This Rock I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it it is Words of Power it is words of authority it is words of unction it is words of dominion however there is a slight problem the man who has issued these words the man who has spoken this Faith infused promise is now hanging upon a crucifix nails are going through his hands a nail is going through his feet a spear has been thrust through his side and now he is living his final moments upon Earth or so it seems the disciples World their their life their paradigms their reference has been shattered they are in complete disarray they are disc combobulated they do not know what to do so what do you do when you don't know what to do you get the Bros and you go fishing Simon Peter says yo fam I'm going fishing I don't know what to do I'm going fishing and I want you to notice the response of the disciples I want you to notice the response of the Bros the Bible says that they repeat back to him we also go a fishing it matters the voices that you allow to speak into your world it matters the influences that you allow into your sphere it matters who you allow to give advice in your orb it matters who you follow on Instagram it matters who your besty for the rest he is it matters who you date and it matters who you marry it matters the spiritual experts that you listen to on Facebook and YouTube and social media not everybody with the mic should have a voice in your life not everybody with the following should have a voice in your life not everybody that goes to church should have a voice voice in your life not every religious leader is a Christian there's a whole lot of people that are more church-like than they are Christlike there will be moments in your life moments when you have less strong Tower camp and the words of promise and prophecy that have been declared over your life seem null and void and it is in this moment of loness it is in this moment of carnal thinking it is in this moment of weariness it is in this moment of Temptation that it is going to be so crucial who you allow to speak in into your life for they are not just speaking into your life they are speaking into your future Simon Peter says I don't know what to do I'm going fishing and the immediate response is we also are going fishing with you I I think it's I think it's amazing that the Bible doesn't just give us the response but it gives us the timing not only do the Bros look back at Simon Peter and say we're going fishing the Bible says they responded to him and said um we're going fishing and then the Bible says they went forth immediately but the problem is they're regressing the problem is they're declining the problem is they are going backwards you need to be aware of spirits human and hellish that call backsliding progress I came to give hell all the smoke tonight you need to beware every demon and devil that encourages you while you are becoming less spiritual and less holy and less prayerful it does not matter how loudly uh you call backwards forwards backwards is still backwards the Bible says that they went forth immediately have you ever noticed it is our human proclivity to be more united in compromising than going forward they had no problem in being unified in going back to where they came from but when you have been an eyewitness of his glory and you have been an eyewitness of his majesty and you have been an eyewitness of the miraculous power of God he will not allow you to just ooze through life another apathetic Apostolic he will not allow you to settle for being just another Pentecostal plopped on a Pew the Bible says that they begin to regress they're going back to fishing they're going back to working the Nets and networking they are leaning on the side of the boat but they're also leaning upon their own understanding they're going back to what they can compute they're going back to what they can rationalize they're going back to what they are professionals at they're going back to what they are experts in and the Bible says it like this it's one of the most Grace in conf used verses in all of holy RIT that night they caught nothing I got a word for somebody tonight you're going to try to be successful in going backward but God is going to let you fail where you used to succeed you used to could not pray and you wouldn't be agitated and you you used to not be convicted by not teaching a Bible study or starting a p7 or a CMI you used to not feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit when you were doing things you didn't but God is not going to let you succeed in being a failure you used to be good at being carnal but now you're going to fail where you used to succeed because you have been an eyewitness to Too Much some of you don't even understand some of you don't even realize you are being exposed to a high calling you are being exposed to a Heavenly calling you are being exposed to a holy calling and when you have been exposed you can never unexperienced at night they caught nothing it doesn't matter it doesn't matter we still have a few more hours guys we've just started somebody gets some snacks out of the Yeti we got time this is what we know to do how many of y'all like to fish um I love you I want to go to heaven with you I don't agree with you uh um I like to catch I don't understand some of you Bass Pro gurus that can come back from being on the boat all day hey yo bro what'd you catch oh man we didn't catch no fish but we caught a good time you're a beta you're a loser and you're a liar beta there is no way you can have a good time catching nothing and if you can all love I'm going to go to heaven with you I'm just probably not going to be Bros with you every time I go fishing it seems as if I am paired with um one of the most astute Elite serious fishermen in all of planet Earth y'all got to know me I always got a plan B always and when I go fishing if I am not catching within 2.7 seconds we are resorting to plan B but plot twist maybe Plan B was actually plan a plan B what is Plan B I'm so glad you asked Plan B is snacks in a world that fails you snacks and the Lord Jesus Christ will never fail you and I get a witness and it's always as if whatever bag of cheit I am trying to open is trying to be the world champion of loudest snacks on a fishing boat in all of the world and whoever I'm paired with normally does not share the same priorities be Qui shut up I need you to be quiet what are you I'm just trying to get some snacks we are on a boat we are in bass heaven we are here to fish we are not here for snacks correction you are here to fish and you do not speak for me and me is not we me is me and I am here for snacks and I make no apologies about it I appreciate the clap I'm a very needy person I I appreciate the affirmation I'm here for snacks y'all so I want you to understand what is happening they're still not catching anything they're angry they're mad and all of a sudden there is a voice that begins to Echo across the water and he's got to be a rookie he cannot be an expert fisherman because he breaks the number one rule of fishing he talks is that [name redacted] [name redacted] Can you wave your hand can y'all all look at [name redacted] and can you just shout happy birthday now give it up for [name redacted] because today he turned 16 I got you bro I may be add but I got you I want you to understand all of a sudden there's this voice that is screaming children echo echo echo do you have any meat echo echo echo I think that might be Greek for for Chick-fil-A Scholars are still debating to this day but I I lean towards Chick-fil-A I need you to understand this is not a stranger this is the savior this is the answer to their problems so anytime the answer asks a question he doesn't need the answer he is the answer if the answer is asking you a question it's not because he needs the answer he needs you to know the answer stay with me children do you have any me now we need to pause right here um you want to know why hell hates your guts this is why hell hates your guts even when you are running from your calling and even when you are spiraling down a decadent direction of Darkness you are still his son and you are steal his daughter they don't even recognize who he is but just because they have forgotten him does not mean he has forgot children even though you're running you're still my babies you're still my son you're still my you're still my daughter you still belong to me they cannot see clearly they don't know who this is they're running from their calling they're running from their Kingdom assignment they are running from their first love and yet the first words to meet them are children I wish I could preach this but even while they are rebelling their heavenly father is still reminding them of their status with him can I keep preaching just a few more minutes I need you to screenshot this in your spirit all right children do you have any meat do you have any food you got any Chick-fil-A breakfast biscuits notice the one word resp respond to the disciple no I think we can safely deduce that they're not in a good mood is that safe I think we can safely deduce that have you ever um have you ever sent a paragraph to somebody I mean you just took the time to text them send them a DM I mean one two three paragraphs and they they write back and say thanks how dare they only use three letters t HX thank you for the sacrificial response of your time you got any food no they have nothing and Jesus already knows it he just needs them to know it because when you are down to nothing God is always up to something I know what it feels like to be human and yet still trying to do my best to please God and to fulfill my kingdom calling and to walk in the spirit and to do my best to make Heaven proud and yet hear the voices of the adversary creep into my spirit reminding me you are nothing and you are nobody I used to defend myself and then one day I stopped I actually started agreeing and one day I decided to tell the devil after he had berated me and condemned me and spoken into my mind and spirit that I was a nothing and a nobody this is what I reminded him um devil you do remember what God made the world out of right God made something out of nothing God made everything out of nothing I need you to let something bow up in your spirit and I need you to remind every Spirit of depression and I need you to remind every spirit of suicide and I need you to remind every Spirit of Darkness that nothing is Miracle materal nothing is Miracle material God can make a Ministry out of nothing God can perform a healing out of nothing God can create a future out of nothing for with God nothing is impossible I don't know everything God's going to do in my life but I do know this pardon the grammar mistake it will not be nothing I don't know all the details of where I'm going to go to school where I'm going to live where but I know my life will not be nothing got anything no cast your net on the other side of the boat what are we doing what is life right now who is this dude somebody shut him up he's we don't even know who he is does he even have Riz probably not but here's the problem we got to go back to the shore and this Maniac is still going to be there so why don't we just listen to what he says how about we just take the Nets we put them on the other side of the boat you got to realize these are heavy Nets these are bulky these are cumbersome this is not an easy task it's going to take time to take the Nets out of the water and to bring them all the way over to the other side of the boat forgive my Simplicity but this is what I have learned if you are going to be obedient to the voice of Jesus Christ you're going to have to get over something and what you have to get over may look a little different than what I have to get over but you need to make a covenant tonight I will not get stuck where everybody else gets stuck I don't care if it's past trauma I don't care if it's Church hurt I don't care if it's unforgiveness if it's Ang your issues you got to get over it you cannot stay snagged where everybody else gets snagged whatever it is the word of the Lord is worth getting over it somebody shout I'm going to get over it by the grace of God I'm going to get over it with grit I'm going to get over it with counseling I want to get over it with accountability I'm going to get over it with discipline i w to get over it with right thinking I'm going to get over it with Godly media choices I'm going to get over it with worship I'm going to get over it with the prayer life I will get over it and the Bible says there is a tug and the Nets and now they are not even able to draw the net into the boat because of all of the fish Simon Peter begins to scratch his head and he says this doesn't make sense there can be only one person I know that can make a miracle from what doesn't make sense some of you are trying to make your life make sense and you're going to mess up your story oh we need to take our Halos off I need you to take your fake Halo off I need you to put it on your seat I need you to unplug it go back to the dorms and burn it I'm preaching to real people tonight God does not always make sense and that is so annoying and wildly wonderful because God has the luxury not to make sense he Makes Miracles it does not make sense to make everything out of nothing it doesn't make sense that some of you still have a right mind it doesn't make sense that you are in the house of God on a Tuesday night but God doesn't have to make sense God can make Miracles if you let them cook God can make Miracles if you let them play in your life God can do the supernatural but I need you to I need you to Grapple with it I need you to embrace your own Humanity even with the miraculous taking place in real time Simon Peter is still met with fear and dysfunction and doubt and questions is this really the Lord is this really the Lord I've seen this and I've seen that and I've been a strong tower camp and I've been in this altar call I've heard that word but is is this the Lord and the Bible said the disciple that Jesus loved said this is the Lord Bible doesn't even say his name but we know who it is it is John the Beloved you know what I believe God is doing at Strong Tower Camp he is raising up men and women that will not be known by their name they will be known by their devotion you know the intercessor you don't even have to say Samantha's name I know who that is you know the Bible study teacher oh you don't even have to say Jacob's name I know who I would to God there would be a generation that rises that says I don't care if I'm known on Tik Tock I don't care if I'm known on the ground I don't care if I'm known on X or threads all of that'll change in 6 months anyway I want to be known Before the Throne uh on Monday uh and Tuesday uh and Wednesday uh and Thursday uh and Friday Friday and Saturday uh I want to be known by the uncreated one I want to be known by the one that was before time after time yet always in time musicians can come can I preach this a few more minutes musicians come I'm not done yet I just want everyone to think I'm done is this is this him Simon Peter is asking himself is is this really him and John the Beloved says this is the Lord it matters who you have in your boat matters who you go to church with it matters who you sit with I'm going to tell you again it matters who you date and it matters who you marry life all life already comes with a lot of crosses the one you marry shouldn't be one of them it matters who you yoke up with it matters who you link up with it matters who your BFF FF is it matters who your bestie for the resty is it matters because life is not going to stop but you need somebody in your boat not with cynicism and jaded lenses to say I knew the Lord would fail you you need somebody to look at you and say I wasn't expecting the job loss and I didn't think you would get sick and I didn't think they would pass away but I know that I know that I know that the Lord is with me and he will never leave me I just need somebody to shout for 10 seconds I just need somebody to move their toes and to wave their hands and remind hell he has never left you be seated one more time that may be a lie I just I need to say this this is either add or the spirit's leading me right now or it might be both this is of the Lord are you sure this is of the Lord this is of the Lord this is of the Lord this is the Lord and the Bible says even with all of the fish in the Nets Simon Peter jumps out of the boat there there's a few things that I see right here um life is going to test you with success and failure what are you going to do when there's no fish in the boat life is going to test you with failure but life will also test you with success what are you going to do when there's no fish left in the sea and the they're all in the boat success without Jesus is not success you can succeed in your preferences and your Ambitions and your desires and still fail if Jesus is not in your boat what is that Education Without Jesus what is that bro what is that chick without Jesus what is the money what is the Benjamins what is the bank account if Jesus is not in your heart it doesn't matter the Earthly success that you Asain if you fail in your first calling plan your life and you will always under plan it Simon Peter a coat back on you know I think it's so amazing he swims through what he used to walk on not everything is going to be Supernatural there's going to be water walking moments but your life will not consist of water walking moments it's not the will of God for you just to have an anointed moment you need to have an anointed life it's not the will of God for you to have Victorious moments but a defeated life I'm here to tell you I believe in angels I believe in the Supernatural but sometimes the Supernatural is supernal whatever you got to do you got to get to Jesus if you're seeing visions are not seeing visions if you're seeing Miracles are not seeing Miracles if you're seeing angels are not walk on water but when you can't walk on water swim through water and get to Jesus remain standing with me I love it I love it I love it the Bible says that Simon Peter gets to the shore and what does he find an angry father what are you doing Simon Peter why' you why'd you fail me no see that same Jesus he had looked at Simon Peter he said you're going to fail me but I have prayed for you that your faith would not fail he didn't just say that he also said Satan has desired you to sift you as wheat hey Simon Pete um you're on a hit list and a prayer list but the latter is greater than the former because it does not matter the attack that is coming against you if prayers are going over you Elders have prayed over you pastors have prayed over you you've got a heavenly father that haveth interceded for you hey Simon Peter you're going to fail but just because you fail doesn't mean you have to be a failure just because you have a defeated moment doesn't mean you have to have a defeated life he said Simon Peter I got a recipe for you failure is not going to hijack it it I'm going to use failure to be an ingredient when you let him cook all things work together all things work together all things work together for the good if it does not work for your good it doesn't get to work Jesus even told him when he would fail he said before the rooster even crows you're going to deny me not once not twice but Thrice you're going to deny me three times before the rooster even crows I got a little question for you on a Tuesday night when does the rooster crow does the rooster signal the end of a day or the beginning of a day Jesus said when you fail me my mercies are new every morning and I'm going to have a batch of Mercy to meet your mess I need somebody to get the sound of the rooster out of your head and I need you to know there's another sound coming it's the sound of a mighty rushing wind is not the sound of condemnation is the sound of prophetic promise hear me I'm done hear me when Simon Peter makes it to the shore nail scarred hands are cooking while Simon Peter has been running nail scarred hands have been preparing Simon Peter hears the voice of his savior who has seemed like a stranger all night say come and D if I'm Simon Pete I got PTSD because the last fire I was by I denied him but there's a second fire do you love me yeah do you love me yeah do you love me I don't need you to tell me you didn't deny me I just need to know if you're coming back to me with the same intensity that you ran from me I just need to know if you love me as much as you are embarrassed of me coming down there's coal there's Stones there's sticks there's kindling that Nails scard hands have been Gathering and the Bible says that Jesus is cooking bread and fish I want to get to a little bit more of my testimony tonight I ran out of time but this is what I'm going to tell you there is nothing in my my life that I have sacrificed and there is nothing in my life that I have given up that the Lord has not restored to me in Greater proportion with eternal significance what are you trying to say whatever you leave behind you does not compare to what Jesus Christ has in front of you if anybody tells you the Kingdom Life and answering the call of God is boring don't listen to them it is one of the wildest Adventures that you will ever embark on for he will do exceedingly and abundantly above all that you can ask or that means you really do serve a mindblowing god so tonight is not a night of calling tonight is a night of answers and tonight God does not needs your understanding God just needs your yes can I say it again God does not need you to have every detail figured out he just needs your yes and when I say he wants your yes I'm not just talking about your lips on a Sunday I'm talking about your life on Monday for if you truly say yes it will not be a one time yes at a strong tower camp but every day of your life you will give God a new yes a fresh yes you will give him your best yes and there forget being in a service all I did was say yes I had inklings I had glimpses what what God wanted to do but I did not have it all figured out all I did was say yes I'm done this altar is open we may shout dance cry we're going to do a lot before the week is over but tonight I need a young man I need a young lady to step forward if you can't make it into the front step into the aisle if you can't make it into the aisle step to the left step to the right I just need you to make a physical step that's symbolic of a spiritual step come
