listen to Pastor for just a moment and because of the situation and the condition of our world today and what is transpiring every day in our great nation and in the globe around us listen to me I stood over here earlier today and the Lord began to help me understand I might actually live to see the end time my grandma my grandpa talked about it my mom went to her deathbed talking about it and Don I'm standing here today saying Lord are we right there I might live to see it sister Unice I might live

oh my my cuz I believe there's an outpouring upon flesh oh I believe there's a hunger and a desire for the things of God you may not believe this preacher today if you don't so be it but I believe the word of God doesn't lie amen I might just live for I might actually be there for all of this and I'm so thrilled about that the older you get the more you recognize the end is closer oh what would it be like my grandma talked about it for years my mom prayed for it for years

know as I draw older I I get closer to this I to to Simply exist and to breathe there is not what we want to do I want to matter I want I want to count I I do I'm not selfish I just simply want to matter to somebody else besides myself is that okay I love it I love it when something an action or an activity happens or when I say something or when I do something and then I see a child mimic that that's such a cool response they either a are are watching

you or B they're watching what somebody else said about you and making fun I don't I don't know which ones it is but it flattery let's call it the Bible says it'll get you about anywhere Grandma's Bible right the neat thing is is that the influences and the Investments that you make into other people's lives you also are the reflection of other people's investment in you a life well-lived is only really seen after the passing of a generation from one generation to the next if you see that your parents and your grandparents have an attitude

and an action of a life that they're happy with they're they're glad they've had they've been blessed they understand it they love it they talk about it they respond to it they react to it everything about their life is positive if you will in the good and in the bad they're establishing who they are then I'll have to say to you friend children will see that and they will respond accordingly that all right am I mean there's one reason that I believe Jesus is coming soon aside from the Bible but I heard that my whole

life and so guess what it's part of my vocabulary it's just how influence works when children see you do something or say something they many times respond the same way they even they even see the details how many of you parents out there can see the details in your children you don't even know that your hand went on your hip this way and it turned like that you didn't know that did you Mom but that little one's responding just like she she sees she sees that right there right there uh that tell me I I

see people I see children act like their dad I'm like oh Lord I didn't even know I just be quiet I said yeah I knew that was anyway they show you the small parts because children are sponges and they they see these things the fact is you as a mom and a dad you want your children to listen and learn don't you until they listen and learn the wrong thing when you get into a relationship with somebody you desire that connection and you you're going to accept them because you see their likes and they're they

dislikes how they act or interact and and the fact remains you you could be you could be one of those really staunch hard neck you know stiff neck guys you're just harder than nobody dying breaking nothing and a little old girl come along and she can flood her eyeballs and she can do this right here and she can melt your heart and for whatever reason you'll yield to everything she asked come on men don't act like it wasn't you brother Rob am I right I'm all of a sudden man that oh I didn't even know

I like I I didn't even like asparagus now I just love it why cuz she does you know what I'm saying you understand the art of relationships it's a process you open yourself to someone you give to them and they in return reciprocate that it's a sense of belonging something larger than yourself something more than you and then first of all though you have to decide is that investment worth investing into is it something is it someone that I'm that I really want to spend time with or is it really something that makes sense how

many here would love to invest all of your money in your wallet today to something that's going to fail huh all right I'll ask it this way how many of you guys pay for coffee don't be ashamed come on some of y'all are highly proud of this5 six S without thought without thought huh something I learned to Hest through my life in drinking coffee is that it's rented only cuz it don't take long and you got a pain I'm like well I didn't even I didn't I keep it come on I I can eat a

big old piece of chocolate cake and it'll show for a long time but coffee some of y'all are in my you're right next to me now aren't you then let's just say in life you to invest in something you want to be successful and so you begin to weigh out the cost you begin to consider all the sides of it you begin to look at it and you got to decide is this a worthy investment of my time and my energy should I really put this there or should I not why because the outcome sometimes

takes a while to decide but we miss certain opportunities if we don't jump on the investment we understand that it's called the stock market come on today it's worth this tomorrow that you don't really know but if invest in it and take the chance guess what you might actually become a multi-million nothing the outcome though you have to really establish within come on I have know I personally know folk personally no folk that got afraid of the market pulled their money out because they thought sticking in a mattress was smarter only to find out they

were wrong they should have left it because the week following it all shot out the roof and now they're standing oh I lost all this money cuz I okay here's my point when you are investing of your money your time talent tras doesn't matter what you possess when you are investing it you want to make sure that there's going to be a return that's going to be worth it write this down in your journal what have I discovered that is worth investment and why did I think it was a smart investment this week go back

to your Journal look at this and begin to answer that question what have I discovered to be worth an investment and why did I think it was I'm well aware that that there there are so many sides to situations there are so many different angles that you can look at something and the fact remains that you can be influenced by a whole lot of things what someone else does how someone else receive their benefit from that investment you see the response that they have and you see how that wow that they made x amount of

money on that so guess what I think I can do the same and then you jump into it as well you understand that I'm here today to tell you that in your world that in which you live in your family in your job wherever you are whatever's going on in your church family you got to understand something that you are going to leave a footprint a fingerprint on someone's life on a a a Situation's life on a circumstance going on why because you are actively involved with that situation has anybody here ever had an answer

to pray prayer come on you're okay with it did you ever have an answered prayer how do you think that answer came to your prayer do you really think and believe that you were the only one praying about that situation no I I already know that before I got out of bed this morning that somebody had been storing up prayers for me I already I already know that I had I tell you my grandma my mom would pray Lord God be with them Lord keep them Lord protect them Lord come on I don't mind telling

you that the fear of the day in which we live it can erasee the benefits of previous generations prayers if you will allow it to my dad didn't live long enough to see me preach my first message but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I am a a recipient of what his prayers were for my life my little Grandma I tell you I talk about her a lot cuz she had such an influence in my life she Point her finger at you and without fear or favor she would say to you you better

find Jesus now what you need get in an altar what you need to do is labor before the Lord you don't need to be out there running around galivan that was her gallivanting around and then take her dish towel dry her hand you know what I'm saying because she understood the value of giving everything you've got unto the Lord God I come to ask somebody today you realize do you understand that many times in life you have to take a risk you have to take a risk risk now I I I know that many of

us in here we don't like to take risk we like the security don't we we we like the establishment but but I'm going to tell you there there are there was a time in my life I was a young man then I had to take a risk see I I I didn't recognize and realize that as a 10 year old 11 year old boy that my life was going to be turned upside down and flipped over if I didn't get God in my life and so on on a Monday night of Junior Camp I I

had to take a risk sister man I had to say is it worth risking who I am to step out and make my path down to an altar I had to take a risk that night say and the thing is I got up off that altar on a Monday night and I did not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost so Tuesday was another day I I go one more time lord now I'm going to take the risk or I'm going to be embarrassed at this I'm a young man I don't know what's going on

but I'm I'm something is happening in me I hear a drawing and a and a wooing of the spirit therefore on a Tuesday made my way back down to an altar screaming and crying out to the Lord God at a ripe young age and the only thing I knew was this uh is God did not fill me with the Holy Ghost that night but it was on a midweek at Junior Camp when I was praying and screaming to God and I was Desiring more than anything uh to find somehow to to alleviate this void within

my life uh that an old Preacher Man came up to me and brother Miller knelt down in front of me big old white hair and he looked at me and he said stop your praying son stop you're crying I'm soaking wet with sweat I've been there three nights in a row and he just looked at me and he said I need to ask you something young man yes sir yeah look at me he said yes sir open my eyes he said Do you believe he can fill you with the Holy Ghost I do believe that

he said then stop begging and start receiving I said now hold on it can't be that empty it can't be that shallow and he said you got to understand it's a gift so what you do is stop right now and you believe God if you said it I can have it I had to take a risk and decide you know what is this worth doing is this really worth giving it all and once I broke through that barrier and I begin to speak in a Heavenly language you come too late to tell this preacher that

the Holy Ghost is not real why when I got up off that altar on a Wednesday night I knew something in my life had changed I knew I didn't understand it at a young age but one thing I did know is this uh that something within my heart begin to swell up within me why because when I said I will take a risk at this the Lord began to move in my situation and I was never the same from that point forward now a legacy now you got to know something a legacy will cost you

everybody say Legacy a legacy will cost you by definition a situation that has occurred due to past actions or or decisions it's a it's a legacy to leave a legacy means that you want to make a difference in somebody's life that you want to shape the lives of those around you who do you think of when you think of the word legacy who who comes to your mind maybe a George Washington perhaps an Abraham Lincoln a Neil Armstrong a BB King I I don't know what your interest are but there are many who have lived

lives prior to this and they left a legacy and what that is is there actions their attitudes their successes their failures cause you to now look at them and decide you know what that's somebody who's got a story to tell that's somebody who's got something they can share and you can learn from that you can you can grab a hold of their attitude maybe you can get a hold of the actions that they did maybe and you can decide there's a legacy right there and I Hey listen I I I believe that I have legacies

in my life that have influenced me like a Praying grandma like an old Pastor that would look down at me and tell me to do right like like he would pull the back of my hair when I he got too long come on some of y'all get all offended that today that man kept me out of a devil's Hell by saying to me I'm going to do something in your life if you'll listen what I'm telling you is that that man's a legacy in my life when that dude got in the pull pit I was

afraid that hell was going to walk in the door and ask him who are you I didn't know as a child what to expect but a legacy left in my life said this if I can just get the pastor to pray for me uh if I can just get the pastor to believe in me uh if I can just get the pastor to understand uh that I want to see what God done in his life working in my life the day that the Lord called me into Ministry I'll never forget I called him and I

said brother tied I want you to know God has called me into the ministry and I I I've told this story before and he he could barely breathe that the inasan is like he's always praying that he was just having a heart brother am I have no doubt that God has called you in Ministry I said why do you say that brother Ted he said because there's always been something in your life that pushed you that pushed you that pushed you uh and I believe God is answering the prayers of your parents and grandparents and

when he hung up the phone I hung up the phone and looked at my wife said babe I'm not really sure where it stands but I know one thing is this that man is a legacy in my life I don't understand all of the things that he said and did I don't comprehend the why or the what for but I know one thing he made a difference in me so write this in your journey who in your life has been a legacy you reflect on that this week who in your life has been a legacy

as it turns out there are so many people that have had their hand in your life where you are right now because they influenced you they prayed for you they believed in you they were an example for you so I'll ask you today what are you wanting to leave for someone else you want to leave him a dream maybe a heartache do you want to leave him a vision do you want to leave them a mess to worry about do you want to be remembered as a blessing and a positive Ripple in the world that

you live or do you want to leave them a legacy that they are ashamed of I mean you actually have the power to decide we have begun this year of 2025 with a purpose we have decided that in this particular year the church has got to be the church like never before the details that we can study about in the children of Israel we can discover that God was into details I spoke of this on Wednesday night everything was right everything was necessary all the stuff to be done God was going to move on planet

Earth all the things that Moses needed all the instructions that he needed all of the details were there notice in Exodus chapter 35 I'm going to spend a lot of time here this year around this I want you to understand though what was going on in verse number 20 of 35 and all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses and they came everyone whose heart was stirred him up and everyone whom his Spirit made willing and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the Tabernacle of the congregation

and for all his service for all the holy garments verse 22 they came both men women as many as were willing hearted brought bracelets earrings Rings tablets jewels of gold every man that off offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord verse 23 and every man with whom was found blue and purple and Scarlet and fine linen and goats hair Red Skins of rams and Badger skins brought them everyone that did offer an offering of silver and Brass brought the Lord's offering and every man with whom was found shiden wood for any work of

the service brought it verse 25 and all the women that were wiseheart did spin with their hands and brought that which they had spun both of blue and purple and Scarlet and fine linen and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goat's hair all the rulers brought onx stones and stones to be set for the epot and for the breastplate the spice the oil for light the anointing oil the sweet incense verse 29 the children of Israel brought a willing off offering to the Lord every man and woman whose heart made

them willing to bring all manner of work for all manner of work excuse me which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses there's a very repetitive word in this particular series that Moses had already spoken to the people and given them exactly what God had told him on the mountain and now the people turn to go back to their houses the their Dwelling Places and the Bible repeatedly here makes sure that we understand that it was of the Willing heart willing by definition it's voluntary not demanded nor commanded but voluntary

willing they were told to search themselves to search their possessions no prompting or demands to SA we need XYZ or ABC but they were simply to bring an offering willingly God left it to the people to decide their level and their portion of involvement you got to hear the preacher today and what they did was they responded willingly voluntarily and God began to move God only requires that we do our best but that we are willing to do our best so many people want the good things of God but they want them without a willing

heart to invest first we all know that we're not worth much in the scheme of things fact remains is that each one of us only stand here or sit here today because of the goodness and the grace of God but I want you to understand something as well that he loved you even though you don't deserve it so he has already taken the first risk he has already made the first step now you have to decide are you willing to say Lord with what I am and who I am and what I have and what

I don't have god with whatever I am at this position Lord I want you to know something I will willingly bring it to you a willingness to bring and to give to the things of God and we are looking in the covenant made by God to the man Abraham and then through that the children of Israel begin to rise up and God began to move and and as Moses took the people out God told them this this is how this is going to be with you and with me chapter 35 verse number 30 then in

Exodus says this Moses said to the children of Israel see the Lord hath called by name bazel the son of Yuri the son of her of the tribe of Judah and he hath filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom and understanding and in knowledge and all the manner of workmanship and to devise curious Works to work in Gold Silver and in grass and The Cutting of stones to set them and the caring carving of wood to make any manner of cunning cunning work and he hath put in his heart that he might may

teach both he and a ho and the son of AAC the tribe of Dan them hath he filled with wisdom of heart to work in all manner of work of the engraver the cunning Workman of the embroiderer in blue purple scarlet and fine linen linen and the Weaver even to them that do any work and those that devise cunning work not only did God give to Moses the ingredients that needed not only did the people hear what was to be done and what was to be brought what they had to search for in their own

possessions but when they had a willing heart God began to move upon them and there were particular ones that God be to impart wisdom to them on how to do this particular work see you got to remember the people of God that came out of Egypt they did not know how to do these things they were simple brick makers come on anybody here can make a brick but there ain't many of us can make a Swiss watch come on I know a whole lot of frame Carpenters that ought not be trim Carpenters come on somebody

I know a whole lot of guys that can do a good job throwing up a wall but man you ask them to put a piece of wood on it or trim on it or paint it or finish it they just look at you no you don't need to be touching that listen to me my point simply today is this when we have a willing heart and we understand the hour in which we live is going to be based upon the situation and the condition of our heart when we understand that and we comprehend Lord by

myself I cannot but with you and with the church family I can and when you will search your heart and search your possessions and search the stuff that you have uh and you can decide at that point you know what I'm going to do this for the Lord uh I'm going to give this for the Lord uh I'm going to make this sacrifice for the Lord uh I'm going to willingly they're not asking me to bring $1,000 but I'm going to willingly say Lord if I've got it I'm going to bring it to you and

give it to you listen to me the reason that the Lord God many times doesn't put that money mark on our heads or in our minds is because many times we're looking for God to give us a limit Lord if you'd make it a th000 or if you'd make it a dollar if you whatever then the Lord's like well then why don't you ask for 10,000 or 20,000 why you got to put a limit on that I'm just simply telling you it's not like God is bound up by your stuff come on God was here

before you were here he owns the cattle on a thousand hillsides he owns the hillside he owns the grass under their feet he owns the dirt they're standing on he owns every Flea on their side you got to understand something with God he's not slack he's not starving he's not standing there wondering God's simply saying you know what I can think of thought and everything about that situation can change I don't need to wave my hand I don't need to dispatch an angel I don't need to call out anybody from that place or that I

can simply think it and put it in my brain and when I get it in my spiritual Noggin I can think it and it can happen in your life what am I telling you I'm saying to you simply thish if you're willing God is already able if you're willing God is already prepared if you're willing God already has a way God could see this Tabernacle before it was ever built but he had to put it in the heart and the mind of every single one of them to represent God if you're going to be God

every enemy out there everyone that's against us everybody trying to destroy us uh they're not going to call us the people with a tabernacle but they're going to call us the people of God uh and when they know that God is on the scene there's not a weapon that they can throw at you that'll Prosper but if you're called by the name of Jesus I've come to declare to somebody there's a nation uh that's established on the word of God it might be that it's shaking and tbling at this time it could be that people

have forgot about it but there's still a church that has not forgot about itth I'm still willing uh to come to the house of the Lord uh and worship the name of Jesus Jesus I'm still willing to give of my time and talent and treasure I'm still willing in your journal what are you willing to do for the advancement of the Kingdom ask yourself that this week what am I willing to do as we sit here today in this room there's a world outside these walls in search of Hope and healing a cry ascends to

the heavens with a desire to be whole and complete again they may not realize it what they may not know what they're looking for but they're they know there has to be something bigger and better than them I stood on a job site this past week dear family old family I just did a little work with them and I was standing there i' loaded my tools and the lady said I'll pay you and she's writing a check to pay me for my labor and I look up and her husband sitting at the table elderly fell

said how are you today bub said I'm I'm struggling today got something going on my body and it's I'm going to go see a heart specialist later today but I'm having a hard day it I hate to hear that he said H we'll we we'll figure it out we'll we'll figure it out she finished we finished talking I turned to walk out the door I stopped turned around and I said now or never check is in hand I said sir do you mind if I pray for you he's sitting at his dining room table he

stood and shook out his hand and he said I would love for you to he knew I was a pastor he knew I was a minister cuz we had already talked about some things and as I reached out and grabbed him I pulled him close and I said Heavenly Father God Almighty Jesus the sun came up today you blessed him Lord today to get out of bed there's a purpose for this day and I begin to pray and he's standing there and all I could hear him say sister Renee is yes yes yes yes and

I pray Lord you can heal you can move you got a situation right here God that you're so simply you could step in and move and he's saying yes and his wife standing there and she said yes yes and I said Lord I don't know how it'll turn out I'm not really sure why I'm here today but I know one thing he needs you would you move in his life and they both said yes and when I said in the name of Jesus Amen the cutest thing ever she said and Lord help us find our

cat I said oh from a blood situation going on in a body where it's all rre with pain and I don't know what's happening I'm hurting right now I don't know what to do to a cat that got out the door and I'm standing there saying and my God heard both of those prayers and he wasn't put off by either one of them and when I stepped out of the door brother Rob I said y'all bless y'all he looked at me and he said thank you so much for coming today I just come to tell

somebody if you'll open your heart and your mind are you willing to let the Lord God use you in this hour you don't have to make a spectacle of yourself you don't have to do that all I know is this one thing uh that every tribe that tried to rise up against Israel when they got close to the camp uh the very first thing they would see by night is a pillar of fire burning above the presence of God uh the only thing they could see from a distance during the day was this Cloud uh

that was standing uh representing the presence of God uh I come to ask somebody today uh are we willing to say God of Glory uh let us be all in in this hour let us be all in in this hour let us find you God uh let us be willing to search what we have uh and to willingly pick it up uh and bring it to the house of the Lord uh come on somebody before it shows up in a yard Cale one day for 5 cents why don't you decide God I'm going to give

it to the kingdom of God uh so that it can flourish and prosper hey before it ends up your children fighting over your stuff why don't you decide God I'm going to do this under the glory why because the soul of my child is more important than their habits amen amen amen teach your children give to God give to God give to God Pastor why you talking about giving because if you will give God already has we are blinded in so many ways by us that we can't even see God and we wonder why the

struggle is there come on what kind of Legacy do you really want to leave huh search your heart you know why pastor's asking you to write in your Journal come on this is this is just a 100 pages of paper but I pray that if the Lord gives you something on a Sunday service or Wednesday night or Tuesday whenever it is and you jot it down that there's going to come a time when you're going to refer back to this oh God y y'all y'all know pastor's very seminal uh we've given away sold everything we've

know that I'll switch versions of the Bible just for study it helps me I'll do the Amplified I'll do the new living I'll even do the God's word occasionally and scratched my head but anyway hey for those who want to know I'll even read it in Spanish many times because I get a better understanding is't that strange how that works that's so I today I'm looking at this or this past week and I I went to the English Standard Version and there's a Psalm there of 126 it's a song of Ascension there's a group of

them 21 through3 this is in the middle of them verse one when the Lord I when the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion we were like those who dream then our mouth was filled with laughter our tongue with shouts of Joy then they said among the Nations the Lord hath done great things for them the Lord hath done great things for us we are glad verse four restore our fortunes oh Lord like streams and the neb those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of Joy he who goes out weeping bearing the seed for

sewing shall come home with shouts of Joy bringing his sheaves with him this entire Ascension when you study I like the words I like I I enjoy the Hebrew stuff I don't I don't understand it all but I I'd like to dig in and and comprehend it there was what was known as is the prayer at the end of a meal before you ate your meal you prayed but once the meal was over this was the prayer this was in that prayer as a rem listen I don't know about you but I eat more than

once a day I do I'm guilty so are you but if I were to repeat this three times a day there was something that would happen not only to me but to my wife and to my children why because when I recognize the fact that if I seow tears if I weep over a situation then Joy is going to come but I first must seow the seed my fear today for the church my concern for the church is simply this many times we carry a bag of blessings and seeds and we refuse to get rid

of them because we're not sure when the next ones will come and it challenges us to trust God I'll ask it this way today if I were okay come here buddy I'll pick on you cuz you're worth it if I were to ask you today for $100 would you give it to me how did you get that $100 parents most likely did you hear that his parents most likely now all y'all like mm Josh like I $5 that's all he get $5 that right Kade what if you had to work hard for it I do

why because because why I want money he would do the work and get the money and then what if I said okay can I have $100 of that money you just worked for what would you say I give you half half he's now bargaining why still want M CU he still wants money and he worked for it did you hear how quick he responded to if Daddy gave it to me I'd give it to you cuz it didn't cost you nothing but if he had to go work for it now all of a sudden now

it's worth half I'm going to tell it to you like this friend there's so much in our lives that we won't give because we're not really sure if we're going to get again thank you buddy stand with me listen to me we're going to reach our city it is not going to happen just because if we're going to reach our world it's not going to happen on a counter it's going to be because we trusted the word of the Lord and we invested in it willingly some of you right now some of you have already

turned me off some of you are looking forward to your lunch and you've already shut me down because I'm getting close to what you have and that's okay I'm all right with that I didn't give you what you have so I'm not going to take it but I will say this next week we're going to sit in a business meeting my wife and I were trying to honestly and uprightly do what we're supposed to do and make sure everybody understands what you give to the things of God we use for the things you know all

of those things we want to make sure we're good stewards my wife worries to death though I don't anybody to have anything bad to think got to make sure that it's right and I appreciate that cuz I'm baby I get it listen to me there are some of you in this house some of you under the sound of my voice right now you are so close to a miracle you've got a good job you drive a good car that doesn't break down you've got clothes to wear many of you even new clothes sometimes you eat

well or at least okay got all these things when my wife as as a pastor my wife will hand me the report and I'll look at it and I'll say but Lord I feel sorry for this family Pastor to be honest the reason I feel sorry for him is because if this is their tithe then they're only living off a few dollars a month I have no other way to associate that I'm not getting on to know I'm just simply saying I see that and I said Lord you have blessed them so abundantly but they

are not figuring out the willingness most of you in this room and under the sound of my voice you would be so astounded at the top givers in our church because it would does not make sense am I right she and I weep often I don't know how they're doing it but God is multiplying multiplying multiplying those are numbers that's what I see so the Lord's working on me for the Tabernacle that we're talking about for the year and this is the only thing I can come up with brother Dan is that God gave to

them the specifics but then God said now bring it voluntarily with a the Willing heart and when you bring it then I'll give the wisdom on how to use what they've brought I wonder oftimes what would have happened if Moses would have presented it to the people and they would have sat there went all right do the best you can you build it I bringing anything CU I don't feel like cuz I don't see because I don't understand cuz I don't compreh cuz I my faith says no go Moses build it how how do you

think that the story would have turned out it's a question I'm convinced that the people understood if we're going to make a difference in this world if we're going to be the nation that God of all creation is with then we've got to be willing to say if you can use anything Lord you can use me I don't I don't have a bunch but I'm going to search what I have and I'm going to do I'm going to search what I have and I'm going to do right now I could give you 25 examples in

your Bible of how God came through for people when it made no sense make for me first then go make for you and your child Bible says for that three and a half years the oil and the meal never ended that's only one bring a sacrifice kill that lamb spread the blood on the doorpost the death Ang will pass over that's one example I'm going to pray right now with you Lord Jesus you are faithful you are faithful lord it's not about our money and our possessions it's about our willingness to submit our whole lives

to you and in that God you can give us wisdom to know what to do next and how to do it and how to accomplish it it's already written in your word it's already established your principle I'm sorry Lord if I've mishandled it or misused it or misunderstood it but in this hour in which we live we have got to do our best for the world in which we live Generations are depending on it Generations are looking for it I pray today Lord that you would help me to be willing help us as a church

God to be willing to be willing to be willing to be willing Lord to be willing Jesus this altar is open for anybody that wants to come and get honest with God might be today you're here and you don't have the Holy Ghost yet if you're you're trying to figure out where it fits in your life I come to tell you the power of the Holy Ghost ghost is real and it's right for you this altar is open it's you can kneel right where you are it's it's okay I I think it's time we spend
