  • Creflo: i was in lagos, nigeria and i knew the spirit of god
  • 00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:06.996
  • Sent me there to see and then to affirm.
  • 00:02:06.996 --> 00:02:13.736
  • And i came into a ministry who in 1989
  • 00:02:13.736 --> 00:02:21.311
  • When i was first there,
  • 00:02:21.311 --> 00:02:24.180
  • Most of them came up and said, "well, we were in diapers when,
  • 00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:28.084
  • When you started coming here."
  • 00:02:28.084 --> 00:02:29.452
  • And i'm like, oh no.
  • 00:02:29.452 --> 00:02:31.154
  • You don't be trying to make me seem like--you ain't no, no
  • 00:02:31.154 --> 00:02:35.425
  • Diapers or nothing like that.
  • 00:02:35.425 --> 00:02:36.793
  • I ain't--i'm coming rocking better, but i ain't there.
  • 00:02:36.793 --> 00:02:41.564
  • You don't be pushing me.
  • 00:02:41.564 --> 00:02:45.501
  • And i heard the gospel of grace.
  • 00:02:45.501 --> 00:02:53.009
  • The radical gospel of grace, not the mixture.
  • 00:02:53.009 --> 00:02:58.281
  • Preach with such conviction.
  • 00:02:58.281 --> 00:03:04.554
  • I took a breath and said, "wow!
  • 00:03:04.554 --> 00:03:11.995
  • They preach to me everything i have ever preached on the--on
  • 00:03:11.995 --> 00:03:18.134
  • This message."
  • 00:03:18.134 --> 00:03:22.405
  • And i said, i had to--i was about to break down and cry
  • 00:03:22.405 --> 00:03:28.344
  • The ugly cry.
  • 00:03:28.344 --> 00:03:31.314
  • I said, they got it.
  • 00:03:31.314 --> 00:03:35.485
  • They got it.
  • 00:03:35.485 --> 00:03:39.656
  • And i'd finish teaching and i'd just sit there and say, "who
  • 00:03:39.656 --> 00:03:42.892
  • Gon--who coming up next."
  • 00:03:42.892 --> 00:03:45.194
  • And i'm like, "oh my god, they got it."
  • 00:03:45.194 --> 00:03:49.499
  • And then i sat there and i'm thinking, "well, your last name
  • 00:03:49.499 --> 00:03:55.171
  • Is the name of a guy i used to preach with in the 90s ."
  • 00:03:55.171 --> 00:03:58.941
  • "oh, yeah.
  • 00:03:58.941 --> 00:04:00.276
  • That's my father."
  • 00:04:00.276 --> 00:04:01.644
  • I'm like, "whoah."
  • 00:04:01.644 --> 00:04:03.846
  • I was like, "wow!"
  • 00:04:03.846 --> 00:04:06.015
  • And then one of my, my friends from back there in--i was
  • 00:04:06.015 --> 00:04:12.555
  • Always the youngest one, which is the reason why i can talk
  • 00:04:12.555 --> 00:04:15.925
  • Like i'm the oldest one, but i was just the youngest one
  • 00:04:15.925 --> 00:04:19.062
  • Sitting in a room full of folks who were 20 years older than
  • 00:04:19.062 --> 00:04:23.166
  • I was.
  • 00:04:23.166 --> 00:04:25.101
  • I was sitting at a table one time and it was me and
  • 00:04:25.101 --> 00:04:28.304
  • Oral roberts and kenneth hagen, t. l. osborn, doctor fred price
  • 00:04:28.304 --> 00:04:33.910
  • And i--brother copeland and i sat down and i looked around me
  • 00:04:33.910 --> 00:04:37.613
  • And i was like, "oh, i'm in the wrong seat."
  • 00:04:37.613 --> 00:04:38.948
  • Brother copeland said, "you right where you need to be, sit
  • 00:04:38.948 --> 00:04:40.783
  • Down," just so i could experience what i'm
  • 00:04:40.783 --> 00:04:46.589
  • Experiencing today.
  • 00:04:46.589 --> 00:04:48.925
  • What i'm teaching on grace, i'm teaching in the future.
  • 00:04:48.925 --> 00:04:55.865
  • And i heard one message after the other next message and then
  • 00:04:55.865 --> 00:05:01.504
  • This friend of mine who is 76 years old said he just got this
  • 00:05:01.504 --> 00:05:06.376
  • Message and he turned, he said, "that's what i was doing.
  • 00:05:06.376 --> 00:05:10.613
  • I was telling the ladies of the church to roll their hair up and
  • 00:05:10.613 --> 00:05:13.883
  • Don't put no makeup on."
  • 00:05:13.883 --> 00:05:16.619
  • He said, "one day, i went by the bus stop and their hair was down
  • 00:05:16.619 --> 00:05:20.356
  • And they had a lot of makeup on."
  • 00:05:20.356 --> 00:05:21.724
  • He says, "i'm wasting my time.
  • 00:05:21.724 --> 00:05:23.059
  • Why--what am i doing?"
  • 00:05:23.059 --> 00:05:28.030
  • He turned on a dime and started preaching the gospel of grace.
  • 00:05:28.030 --> 00:05:34.237
  • And i was able to tell them, "now this is what's gonna
  • 00:05:34.237 --> 00:05:36.406
  • Happen next.
  • 00:05:36.406 --> 00:05:37.740
  • And, well, all those friends you're gonna see if they're real
  • 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:39.742
  • Friends because you ain't gonna hear from them no more.
  • 00:05:39.742 --> 00:05:42.278
  • And you're gonna go from being famous to infamous and then
  • 00:05:42.278 --> 00:05:46.449
  • You're gonna be the guy that, you know, the fake teacher and
  • 00:05:46.449 --> 00:05:51.187
  • You're gonna--and you--it'll all pass over.
  • 00:05:51.187 --> 00:05:53.556
  • Don't worry about it.
  • 00:05:53.556 --> 00:05:54.924
  • Just keep preaching the good news, and to prepare them
  • 00:05:54.924 --> 00:05:58.628
  • For what to come."
  • 00:05:58.628 --> 00:05:59.996
  • And i thought, "man!
  • 00:05:59.996 --> 00:06:02.064
  • There are people like that all over the world.
  • 00:06:02.064 --> 00:06:04.267
  • I may go all over the world and find all these radical
  • 00:06:04.267 --> 00:06:07.570
  • Grace preachers."
  • 00:06:07.570 --> 00:06:10.373
  • But i stood up and i affirmed that they are an official dealer
  • 00:06:10.373 --> 00:06:15.545
  • Of the gospel of grace in lagos, nigeria.
  • 00:06:15.545 --> 00:06:20.683
  • Grace is being preached, is being preached.
  • 00:06:20.683 --> 00:06:27.056
  • And just what we said today to you.
  • 00:06:27.056 --> 00:06:31.594
  • If all of my sins, now watch this.
  • 00:06:31.594 --> 00:06:33.863
  • If all of my sins have been placed on the body of
  • 00:06:33.863 --> 00:06:36.299
  • Jesus christ, why are we still approaching god like that
  • 00:06:36.299 --> 00:06:41.571
  • Didn't happen.
  • 00:06:41.571 --> 00:06:44.607
  • Either it did or didn't.
  • 00:06:44.607 --> 00:06:47.810
  • Either he has forgiven you of your past sins, your present
  • 00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:52.014
  • Sins and your future sins.
  • 00:06:52.014 --> 00:06:53.716
  • And i know some of you got problems with--well , i can deal
  • 00:06:53.716 --> 00:06:56.686
  • With my past sins.
  • 00:06:56.686 --> 00:06:59.155
  • I can even deal with my present sin.
  • 00:06:59.155 --> 00:07:00.857
  • But brother, daughter, you talking about some stuff in
  • 00:07:00.857 --> 00:07:02.658
  • The future that i ain't even did yet.
  • 00:07:02.658 --> 00:07:05.661
  • Well, when jesus forgave us on the cross, all of our sins were
  • 00:07:05.661 --> 00:07:08.965
  • In the future.
  • 00:07:08.965 --> 00:07:12.735
  • I don't know why that's so hard to believe.
  • 00:07:12.735 --> 00:07:16.739
  • And we just got to start nailing this stuff that we've been
  • 00:07:16.739 --> 00:07:21.344
  • Buying all these years.
  • 00:07:21.344 --> 00:07:24.080
  • Just religion and church and the preacher, he's supposed to be
  • 00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:27.650
  • Flawless and now all the church people believe that the preacher
  • 00:07:27.650 --> 00:07:32.255
  • Is perfect.
  • 00:07:32.255 --> 00:07:33.623
  • He ain't.
  • 00:07:33.623 --> 00:07:34.957
  • Ain't nobody in no pulpit, nowhere perfect.
  • 00:07:34.957 --> 00:07:41.197
  • They all have their own issues.
  • 00:07:41.197 --> 00:07:44.834
  • Which is why fathering is so important.
  • 00:07:44.834 --> 00:07:49.171
  • It's why relationships in ministry is so important.
  • 00:07:49.171 --> 00:07:52.708
  • So you don't get out there by yourself and then you start
  • 00:07:52.708 --> 00:07:56.479
  • Becoming a victim of your own secret.
  • 00:07:56.479 --> 00:08:03.486
  • You need to have somebody you can trust to say, "hey dad, i
  • 00:08:03.486 --> 00:08:06.422
  • Need to talk to you."
  • 00:08:06.422 --> 00:08:09.959
  • And i need to be accountable to somebody.
  • 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.030
  • But i am telling y'all, i don't know what it is about you who
  • 00:08:14.030 --> 00:08:18.167
  • Are here today.
  • 00:08:18.167 --> 00:08:20.002
  • I keep seeing this gigantic door of opportunity opening, yeah.
  • 00:08:20.002 --> 00:08:29.745
  • I--it was--it's been closed for a minute.
  • 00:08:29.745 --> 00:08:35.618
  • The door i see is real thick with a lot of cobwebs on it.
  • 00:08:35.618 --> 00:08:43.359
  • And it's being swung open.
  • 00:08:43.359 --> 00:08:47.530
  • Thank you.
  • 00:08:47.530 --> 00:08:53.769
  • All i know is if we don't get delivered from all of this
  • 00:08:53.769 --> 00:08:59.108
  • Church tragedy stuff.
  • 00:08:59.108 --> 00:09:01.577
  • And that's what it is.
  • 00:09:01.577 --> 00:09:02.945
  • It's a tragedy.
  • 00:09:02.945 --> 00:09:04.280
  • It's taking scriptures out of his context and then making up
  • 00:09:04.280 --> 00:09:07.650
  • Stuff around it and then getting people to believe it.
  • 00:09:07.650 --> 00:09:13.022
  • Like you can't read the bible.
  • 00:09:13.022 --> 00:09:14.423
  • If you read the bible in context, you will see--you'll
  • 00:09:14.423 --> 00:09:19.428
  • Listen to somebody and they lift something out of context and
  • 00:09:19.428 --> 00:09:21.631
  • Then they preach three points around that context and
  • 00:09:21.631 --> 00:09:24.967
  • It's--what did i say?
  • 00:09:24.967 --> 00:09:26.402
  • If you take the text out of the context, you're left with
  • 00:09:26.402 --> 00:09:28.804
  • The con.
  • 00:09:28.804 --> 00:09:37.346
  • People ought to feel all right around the body of christ.
  • 00:09:37.346 --> 00:09:42.818
  • Not come here wondering if they gonna get talked about because
  • 00:09:42.818 --> 00:09:46.622
  • They don't dress nice or they didn't have a lot of money to
  • 00:09:46.622 --> 00:09:51.394
  • Buy 10 inches of weave and, maybe they couldn't afford but
  • 00:09:51.394 --> 00:09:57.600
  • Two inches.
  • 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.836
  • That don't matter.
  • 00:10:00.836 --> 00:10:07.510
  • But i think the cool thing is that we're born again.
  • 00:10:07.510 --> 00:10:11.814
  • We're all on a journey of transformation and being
  • 00:10:11.814 --> 00:10:17.119
  • Perfected and we're helping one another out and we're sharing
  • 00:10:17.119 --> 00:10:22.625
  • Our testimony.
  • 00:10:22.625 --> 00:10:23.993
  • Hey, you know, i had that same thing happen on my journey about
  • 00:10:23.993 --> 00:10:26.595
  • Five years ago.
  • 00:10:26.595 --> 00:10:27.930
  • Let me show you how i handled it.
  • 00:10:27.930 --> 00:10:29.298
  • When i went through that same thing i did--oh wow.
  • 00:10:29.298 --> 00:10:31.434
  • I didn't even think about that, yeah.
  • 00:10:31.434 --> 00:10:34.236
  • Let's go have some coffee and i can talk to you about the
  • 00:10:34.236 --> 00:10:36.772
  • Same thing.
  • 00:10:36.772 --> 00:10:38.140
  • But now here's the worst problem.
  • 00:10:38.140 --> 00:10:39.475
  • We've become so full of shame and condemnation.
  • 00:10:39.475 --> 00:10:45.047
  • We're kind of scared to share anything with anybody,
  • 00:10:45.047 --> 00:10:47.983
  • Especially a church folk.
  • 00:10:47.983 --> 00:10:51.854
  • And we gotta fix that.
  • 00:10:51.854 --> 00:10:53.189
  • We want world changes to be a place where we can share and
  • 00:10:53.189 --> 00:10:57.159
  • Grow with one another and recognize that we're not--nobody
  • 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.697
  • Is perfect yet.
  • 00:11:01.697 --> 00:11:03.365
  • Ain't nobody gonna reach that perfection until jesus comes.
  • 00:11:03.365 --> 00:11:08.037
  • When jesus comes, we're all going to be just like him, but
  • 00:11:08.037 --> 00:11:12.174
  • That hadn't happened yet.
  • 00:11:12.174 --> 00:11:13.743
  • So any guy that wants to stand up and say, "i am flawless,
  • 00:11:13.743 --> 00:11:18.948
  • I am perfect."
  • 00:11:18.948 --> 00:11:20.316
  • You are not.
  • 00:11:20.316 --> 00:11:21.650
  • You're going to hell, you no good for nothing.
  • 00:11:21.650 --> 00:11:23.018
  • You too?
  • 00:11:23.018 --> 00:11:24.920
  • You better hope i don't go to hell for my behavior because i
  • 00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:28.324
  • Know you gonna go with your little arrogant, self-righteous
  • 00:11:28.324 --> 00:11:31.327
  • Self with your baby.
  • 00:11:31.327 --> 00:11:32.661
  • It's just like the pharisee.
  • 00:11:32.661 --> 00:11:34.130
  • And i tithe and i pray and i do this and these, these, these.
  • 00:11:34.130 --> 00:11:40.770
  • And jesus said, "they're gonna get into heaven before you do."
  • 00:11:40.770 --> 00:11:45.674
  • We gotta fix this thing.
  • 00:11:45.674 --> 00:11:47.009
  • I don't--it's turning into something weird.
  • 00:11:47.009 --> 00:11:50.579
  • We got -isms in churches.
  • 00:11:50.579 --> 00:11:53.749
  • How in the world are we supposed to be a church and we still
  • 00:11:53.749 --> 00:11:56.218
  • Struggling with racism?
  • 00:11:56.218 --> 00:12:00.656
  • How in the world are we supposed to be a church and they're still
  • 00:12:00.656 --> 00:12:03.492
  • Struggling with sexism?
  • 00:12:03.492 --> 00:12:06.595
  • Still believe that a man ought to be dominating a woman when
  • 00:12:06.595 --> 00:12:13.736
  • Male domination was a result of a curse.
  • 00:12:13.736 --> 00:12:18.307
  • They sinned in the garden.
  • 00:12:18.307 --> 00:12:19.875
  • He cursed--the curse came as a result of the sin.
  • 00:12:19.875 --> 00:12:22.945
  • And part of that, the announcement, the part of
  • 00:12:22.945 --> 00:12:26.515
  • The announcement was that you be dominated by a man.
  • 00:12:26.515 --> 00:12:30.186
  • And jesus said, "but hold on, i'm on my way.
  • 00:12:30.186 --> 00:12:33.055
  • I'm gonna fix all that when i get there."
  • 00:12:33.055 --> 00:12:36.025
  • And now jesus says, "now that i'm here, you now who stand on
  • 00:12:36.025 --> 00:12:43.532
  • Me, you stand on equal ground."
  • 00:12:43.532 --> 00:12:48.170
  • And we still can't figure that out.
  • 00:12:48.170 --> 00:12:50.906
  • We got church--well, i don't believe that.
  • 00:12:50.906 --> 00:12:52.641
  • And see, that's the problem.
  • 00:12:52.641 --> 00:12:55.077
  • I'm just saying and then we pick something out of context and
  • 00:12:55.077 --> 00:12:58.848
  • Then we make up stuff around it and then we act a little
  • 00:12:58.848 --> 00:13:03.252
  • Spiritual with it like it.
  • 00:13:03.252 --> 00:13:04.587
  • Oh, it was really god.
  • 00:13:04.587 --> 00:13:08.090
  • And it's just not.
  • 00:13:08.090 --> 00:13:10.626
  • And i sat back over the last 10 years and i've watched
  • 00:13:10.626 --> 00:13:13.195
  • This game.
  • 00:13:13.195 --> 00:13:17.366
  • And i thought, "i can't do this.
  • 00:13:17.366 --> 00:13:22.238
  • I won't.
  • 00:13:22.238 --> 00:13:24.673
  • If the whole world changed this nation and decided, 'well,
  • 00:13:24.673 --> 00:13:30.546
  • Pastor is not deep spiritually enough,' i'm going to find
  • 00:13:30.546 --> 00:13:33.782
  • Another church."
  • 00:13:33.782 --> 00:13:35.384
  • At least i'll be able to die and go to heaven and say, "i didn't
  • 00:13:35.384 --> 00:13:38.420
  • Play that game."
  • 00:13:38.420 --> 00:13:41.991
  • I'm not playing it.
  • 00:13:41.991 --> 00:13:45.427
  • Being a christian doesn't mean being all weird and you know,
  • 00:13:45.427 --> 00:13:53.135
  • You won't do nothing but come to church.
  • 00:13:53.135 --> 00:13:57.339
  • You don't like doing nothing.
  • 00:13:57.339 --> 00:13:58.674
  • But i just go to church.
  • 00:13:58.674 --> 00:14:00.042
  • I'm glad you like going to church.
  • 00:14:00.042 --> 00:14:01.844
  • But you wanna be--let me--can i be real honest with you?
  • 00:14:01.844 --> 00:14:06.515
  • A church is not where relationship is developed.
  • 00:14:06.515 --> 00:14:13.022
  • Church is where you get equipped to develop relationship with
  • 00:14:13.022 --> 00:14:20.562
  • Jesus on an everyday living, okay.
  • 00:14:20.562 --> 00:14:26.435
  • Your relationship with jesus is what happens in your
  • 00:14:26.435 --> 00:14:29.104
  • Everyday living.
  • 00:14:29.104 --> 00:14:31.640
  • Man i--we learned that.
  • 00:14:31.640 --> 00:14:33.208
  • We tried to make church everything.
  • 00:14:33.208 --> 00:14:36.211
  • We were here all the time.
  • 00:14:36.211 --> 00:14:38.781
  • We were here all the time.
  • 00:14:40.215 --> 00:14:42.251
  • Y'all remember when i had that evening service and i fell
  • 00:14:42.251 --> 00:14:44.687
  • Asleep while i was teaching.
  • 00:14:44.687 --> 00:14:50.025
  • I thought we're supposed to have an evening service because
  • 00:14:50.025 --> 00:14:51.894
  • Everybody else had an evening service.
  • 00:14:51.894 --> 00:14:53.228
  • So i got a bright idea.
  • 00:14:53.228 --> 00:14:54.596
  • Well, we're just gonna go a year through the bible.
  • 00:14:54.596 --> 00:14:57.733
  • And genesis was fine.
  • 00:14:57.733 --> 00:14:59.168
  • But boy, we got out of genesis into numbers.
  • 00:14:59.168 --> 00:15:01.737
  • I just didn't really care what they were doing.
  • 00:15:01.737 --> 00:15:03.572
  • And then--and i looked up and everything was cloudy and i
  • 00:15:03.572 --> 00:15:11.313
  • Realized i was asleep.
  • 00:15:11.313 --> 00:15:15.017
  • And i said, "this over with.
  • 00:15:15.017 --> 00:15:16.385
  • This ain't god.
  • 00:15:16.385 --> 00:15:17.720
  • Everybody go home.
  • 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.054
  • Don't ever come back to no evening service no more again."
  • 00:15:19.054 --> 00:15:21.890
  • It's all right to go on vacation, okay?
  • 00:15:21.890 --> 00:15:26.295
  • It's alright.
  • 00:15:26.295 --> 00:15:28.263
  • Miss a sunday, go on vacation.
  • 00:15:28.263 --> 00:15:29.965
  • I'll see you when you get back.
  • 00:15:29.965 --> 00:15:31.300
  • You can hear if you want to.
  • 00:15:31.300 --> 00:15:32.668
  • What--you're going on vacation.
  • 00:15:32.668 --> 00:15:34.503
  • It's okay to go on the beach.
  • 00:15:34.503 --> 00:15:38.340
  • Well, praise the lord.
  • 00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:39.675
  • I'm saved.
  • 00:15:39.675 --> 00:15:41.043
  • I don't wear no bathing suit like that, alright.
  • 00:15:41.043 --> 00:15:42.378
  • You have your own personal reasons why you don't do what
  • 00:15:42.378 --> 00:15:45.014
  • You need to do.
  • 00:15:45.014 --> 00:15:46.348
  • But don't make that god don't like me, because i love my wife.
  • 00:15:46.348 --> 00:15:56.392
  • That ain't none of your business.
  • 00:16:00.129 --> 00:16:01.497
  • But anyway--none of your business.
  • 00:16:01.497 --> 00:16:07.403
  • None of your business.
  • 00:16:07.403 --> 00:16:11.774
  • Enjoy life, okay?
  • 00:16:11.774 --> 00:16:15.144
  • You got some friends you could bring them to the hot house.
  • 00:16:15.144 --> 00:16:18.847
  • You know, you get you some good old--good music.
  • 00:16:18.847 --> 00:16:23.519
  • Not no stupid music, you know, "shoot them up now and rob
  • 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.423
  • The bank!
  • 00:16:27.423 --> 00:16:28.791
  • Cut their neck wide, open, spit down their throat, bleed
  • 00:16:28.791 --> 00:16:31.260
  • Them out.
  • 00:16:31.260 --> 00:16:32.594
  • Hey!"
  • 00:16:32.594 --> 00:16:34.863
  • That's insane.
  • 00:16:34.863 --> 00:16:36.198
  • What the world.
  • 00:16:36.198 --> 00:16:42.271
  • I'm talking about some of that smooth new--
  • 00:16:42.271 --> 00:16:47.376
  • "sailing takes me away ♪
  • 00:16:47.376 --> 00:16:48.710
  • You know that....
  • 00:16:48.710 --> 00:16:55.050
  • But ken ain't here.
  • 00:16:55.050 --> 00:16:56.452
  • So i don't know the words, ken know all the words.
  • 00:16:56.452 --> 00:16:57.953
  • I don't know the words.
  • 00:16:57.953 --> 00:17:00.923
  • It doesn't always have to be gospel music.
  • 00:17:00.923 --> 00:17:03.425
  • It can be really good sound music.
  • 00:17:03.425 --> 00:17:07.596
  • If you and your wife are home together and you know, you empty
  • 00:17:07.596 --> 00:17:12.334
  • Nesters and you wanna pull up a little lou rawls.
  • 00:17:12.334 --> 00:17:19.208
  • What's that big dude-- bear white?
  • 00:17:19.208 --> 00:17:25.981
  • Luther!
  • 00:17:25.981 --> 00:17:27.316
  • No wait, big luther.
  • 00:17:27.316 --> 00:17:34.423
  • I mean the luther that's "yeah..."
  • 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:44.466
  • Who said that was wrong except some dude who lifted something
  • 00:17:48.704 --> 00:17:55.043
  • Out of context and made up stuff around it and then you
  • 00:17:55.043 --> 00:17:59.481
  • Bought it.
  • 00:17:59.481 --> 00:18:01.717
  • And then one day you just kinda like, "i don't like this life
  • 00:18:01.717 --> 00:18:07.156
  • And it's supposed to be so full of joy."
  • 00:18:07.156 --> 00:18:12.528
  • And you got stuck in some religiosity.
  • 00:18:12.528 --> 00:18:21.336
  • And you were controlled by fear.
  • 00:18:21.336 --> 00:18:27.776
  • Almost like a drug pusher that gave you a little taste
  • 00:18:27.776 --> 00:18:30.879
  • Of crack.
  • 00:18:30.879 --> 00:18:32.214
  • Just enough to keep you coming back for more.
  • 00:18:32.214 --> 00:18:37.920
  • Tell you if you didn't give you was gonna lose your business.
  • 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:44.693
  • It's gotta be over with.
  • 00:18:44.693 --> 00:18:48.463
  • So, what are we prepared to do?
  • 00:18:48.463 --> 00:18:54.002
  • Tell you what i'm prepared to do.
  • 00:18:54.002 --> 00:18:58.273
  • I'm gonna love you somehow.
  • 00:18:58.273 --> 00:19:03.212
  • I'm gonna love you out of your addictions.
  • 00:19:03.212 --> 00:19:06.215
  • I'm gonna love you out of your pain.
  • 00:19:06.215 --> 00:19:10.152
  • If you need a therapist, we will refer you to a therapist.
  • 00:19:10.152 --> 00:19:15.591
  • If you're married, the healthiest thing you can do is
  • 00:19:15.591 --> 00:19:19.094
  • Go see a marriage counselor.
  • 00:19:19.094 --> 00:19:21.663
  • And don't wait till something wrong.
  • 00:19:21.663 --> 00:19:24.533
  • Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is go see a marriage
  • 00:19:24.533 --> 00:19:27.336
  • Council when everything alright.
  • 00:19:27.336 --> 00:19:29.438
  • So we can crack open some things that we hadn't thought about
  • 00:19:29.438 --> 00:19:32.241
  • Right now, yeah.
  • 00:19:32.241 --> 00:19:33.742
  • But i thought it was against god to go see a therapist, yeah.
  • 00:19:33.742 --> 00:19:38.080
  • That's just like you're saying, you're not supposed to take
  • 00:19:38.080 --> 00:19:39.848
  • No tylenol when you have a headache.
  • 00:19:39.848 --> 00:19:42.951
  • I tried to do that one time.
  • 00:19:42.951 --> 00:19:45.354
  • Man, my head was hurting me so much i'm like, "lord,
  • 00:19:45.354 --> 00:19:47.356
  • Forgive me."
  • 00:19:47.356 --> 00:19:49.791
  • I took that advil.
  • 00:19:49.791 --> 00:19:51.126
  • My head stopped hurting and i'm like, "why would i go through
  • 00:19:51.126 --> 00:19:53.962
  • That when there's something that can--"
  • 00:19:53.962 --> 00:19:57.566
  • "but god's gonna heal me."
  • 00:19:57.566 --> 00:19:58.900
  • I--he did when he got the tylenol technology.
  • 00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:07.442
  • I don't know where all that came from.
  • 00:20:07.442 --> 00:20:11.680
  • If you're a preacher and get an operation, you don't have
  • 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.782
  • No faith.
  • 00:20:13.782 --> 00:20:15.150
  • Where that come from?
  • 00:20:15.150 --> 00:20:18.353
  • If i didn't have the procedure i had, i wouldn't even be here
  • 00:20:18.353 --> 00:20:21.089
  • Right now talking to y'all.
  • 00:20:21.089 --> 00:20:28.563
  • So i've had an opportunity to this kind of re-evaluate
  • 00:20:28.563 --> 00:20:32.834
  • Some stuff.
  • 00:20:32.834 --> 00:20:37.706
  • And to make my mind up today.
  • 00:20:37.706 --> 00:20:41.677
  • And i am not holding back.
  • 00:20:41.677 --> 00:20:44.246
  • Nothing.
  • 00:20:44.246 --> 00:20:52.220
  • Now this may not be spiritual enough for some of you.
  • 00:20:47.549 --> 00:20:56.024
  • For some of you, you may think.
  • 00:20:56.024 --> 00:20:57.359
  • Well, you know, "i think i'm gonna have to find another
  • 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:01.463
  • Church because this is not--this is a little fleshy."
  • 00:21:01.463 --> 00:21:05.901
  • You don't even know what flesh is.
  • 00:21:05.901 --> 00:21:10.806
  • You know what it really means to be fleshy?
  • 00:21:10.806 --> 00:21:14.276
  • Operating under the law.
  • 00:21:14.276 --> 00:21:22.784
  • That's what it means to be fleshy.
  • 00:21:22.784 --> 00:21:25.987
  • This has been an extremely different presentation.
