  • But can i tell you today that in 2 corinthians it says that
  • 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.328
  • In 2 corinthians it says that god's strength is made
  • 00:00:38.394 --> 00:00:39.762
  • God's strength is made perfect in your weakness?
  • 00:00:39.829 --> 00:00:41.498
  • Perfect in your weakness? so anything that you don't
  • 00:00:41.564 --> 00:00:43.099

  • Today, god has all the strength you ever need.

  • Strength you ever need. and that's comforting to know
  • 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.408
  • And that's comforting to know because sometimes we wanna
  • 00:00:52.475 --> 00:00:53.810
  • Because sometimes we wanna look at the very end result
  • 00:00:53.877 --> 00:00:55.678
  • Look at the very end result and we wanna see how in the
  • 00:00:55.745 --> 00:00:56.846
  • And we wanna see how in the world we'll ever get there.
  • 00:00:56.913 --> 00:00:58.181
  • World we'll ever get there. but god is just saying, "look
  • 00:00:58.248 --> 00:00:59.449
  • But god is just saying, "look at today.
  • 00:00:59.516 --> 00:01:00.283
  • At today. my grace is sufficient for
  • 00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:01.551
  • My grace is sufficient for today.
  • 00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:03.086
  • Today. everything you need is here
  • 00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:05.622
  • Everything you need is here today."
  • 00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:06.689
  • Today." i think the trouble we get
  • 00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.491
  • I think the trouble we get into is we start working on
  • 00:01:08.558 --> 00:01:10.593
  • Into is we start working on tomorrow's grace today.
  • 00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:12.595
  • Tomorrow's grace today. we say, "but what about
  • 00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:14.164
  • We say, "but what about tomorrow, god," when god is
  • 00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:15.632
  • Tomorrow, god," when god is saying, "don't worry about
  • 00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:16.733
  • Saying, "don't worry about tomorrow.
  • 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.433
  • Tomorrow. just work on today.
  • 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:18.635
  • Just work on today. i got tomorrow handled."
  • 00:01:18.701 --> 00:01:20.570
  • I got tomorrow handled." you know, and then when we
  • 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:22.071
  • You know, and then when we start doing these kind of
  • 00:01:22.138 --> 00:01:23.406
  • Start doing these kind of things, we start questioning
  • 00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:24.574
  • Things, we start questioning ourself.
  • 00:01:24.641 --> 00:01:25.808
  • Ourself. then we start having these
  • 00:01:25.875 --> 00:01:27.143
  • Then we start having these doubts and we have fears and
  • 00:01:27.210 --> 00:01:30.046
  • Doubts and we have fears and maybe i'm not enough.
  • 00:01:30.113 --> 00:01:31.347
  • Maybe i'm not enough. maybe i'm not adequate.
  • 00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:32.315
  • Maybe i'm not adequate. maybe i don't have what it
  • 00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:33.483
  • Maybe i don't have what it takes.
  • 00:01:33.550 --> 00:01:34.651
  • Takes. and then we start going down
  • 00:01:34.717 --> 00:01:35.718
  • And then we start going down the wrong road.
  • 00:01:35.785 --> 00:01:37.120
  • The wrong road. but god said before the
  • 00:01:37.187 --> 00:01:38.788
  • But god said before the foundation of the world he
  • 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:40.223
  • Foundation of the world he already knew you.
  • 00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:41.524
  • Already knew you. and he's already equipped you
  • 00:01:41.591 --> 00:01:43.326
  • And he's already equipped you to do whatever he's gonna
  • 00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:44.460
  • To do whatever he's gonna call you to do.
  • 00:01:44.527 --> 00:01:45.828
  • Call you to do. but you know what i've
  • 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:46.696
  • But you know what i've noticed about god?
  • 00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:47.931
  • Noticed about god? he puts things in us that we
  • 00:01:47.997 --> 00:01:49.132
  • He puts things in us that we don't know that's in us.
  • 00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:50.600
  • Don't know that's in us. it's a mystery.
  • 00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:51.968
  • It's a mystery. have you ever done something
  • 00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:53.102
  • Have you ever done something and you thought,
  • 00:01:53.169 --> 00:01:53.836
  • And you thought, "how did that happen?
  • 00:01:53.903 --> 00:01:55.004
  • "how did that happen? how did i think about that?
  • 00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:56.172
  • How did i think about that? that's incredible."
  • 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.041
  • That's incredible." well, that's god.
  • 00:01:58.107 --> 00:01:59.509
  • Well, that's god. because god is smarter than
  • 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.678
  • Because god is smarter than we are.
  • 00:02:01.744 --> 00:02:03.079
  • We are. but he puts things on the
  • 00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:03.980
  • But he puts things on the inside of us so that we can
  • 00:02:04.047 --> 00:02:05.014
  • Inside of us so that we can mine the gold out of us.
  • 00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:07.717
  • Mine the gold out of us. and we can't be fearful of
  • 00:02:07.784 --> 00:02:08.818
  • And we can't be fearful of that.
  • 00:02:08.885 --> 00:02:09.986
  • That. we can't shrink back and
  • 00:02:10.053 --> 00:02:11.020
  • We can't shrink back and think we don't have the
  • 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:11.988
  • Think we don't have the ability because the ability's
  • 00:02:12.055 --> 00:02:13.690
  • Ability because the ability's in there.
  • 00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:14.624
  • In there. if you're facing something,
  • 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:15.491
  • If you're facing something, whatever it is today,
  • 00:02:15.558 --> 00:02:16.759

  • 00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:20.663
  • That dream but you're scared to attach yourself to that
  • 00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.965
  • To attach yourself to that dream because you're thinking
  • 00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:23.032
  • Dream because you're thinking maybe it's just a wish and
  • 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.467
  • Maybe it's just a wish and maybe it's not really what
  • 00:02:24.534 --> 00:02:25.935
  • Maybe it's not really what god wants.
  • 00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:27.036

  • Surprise to god 'cause god said, "i've already made
  • 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:44.520
  • Said, "i've already made provision for your weakness.
  • 00:02:44.587 --> 00:02:45.622
  • Provision for your weakness. guess what?
  • 00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:46.522
  • Guess what? when you're weak, you're
  • 00:02:46.589 --> 00:02:47.323
  • When you're weak, you're setting me up to be strong.
  • 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:48.758
  • Setting me up to be strong. if you handle it the right
  • 00:02:48.825 --> 00:02:49.859
  • If you handle it the right way, you're setting me up to
  • 00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.127
  • Way, you're setting me up to let my power work through
  • 00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.796

  • I think i'm up here today and the truth of the matter is
  • 00:03:01.237 --> 00:03:02.705
  • The truth of the matter is there's probably a lot of you
  • 00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:03.906
  • There's probably a lot of you that could do a better job
  • 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:04.941
  • That could do a better job than me so i could really
  • 00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:06.843

  • Know what? when i'm weak, you're strong.
  • 00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:20.290

  • Say, "man, that's a good job," or they tell you about
  • 00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:03.399
  • Job," or they tell you about your talents.
  • 00:04:03.466 --> 00:04:04.267
  • Your talents. they tell you about your
  • 00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:05.001
  • They tell you about your gifts.
  • 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.002
  • Gifts. but how about when you look
  • 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:06.703
  • But how about when you look up and there's no one there
  • 00:04:06.769 --> 00:04:07.570
  • Up and there's no one there to encourage you?
  • 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:08.971
  • To encourage you? and you're facing something?
  • 00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:10.640
  • And you're facing something? that's when you have to say,
  • 00:04:10.707 --> 00:04:11.908
  • That's when you have to say, "god, i can't depend on
  • 00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:13.409
  • "god, i can't depend on people," 'cause people can do
  • 00:04:13.476 --> 00:04:14.844
  • People," 'cause people can do the best they can do but they
  • 00:04:14.911 --> 00:04:16.979
  • The best they can do but they can't do what god can do.
  • 00:04:17.046 --> 00:04:18.815
  • Can't do what god can do. and so there is a point that
  • 00:04:18.881 --> 00:04:19.849
  • And so there is a point that we can't depend on other
  • 00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:21.718
  • We can't depend on other people.
  • 00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:22.819
  • People. we can't let them be our
  • 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.720
  • We can't let them be our crutch.
  • 00:04:23.786 --> 00:04:25.021
  • Crutch. we've gotta say, "god, it's
  • 00:04:25.088 --> 00:04:26.089
  • We've gotta say, "god, it's you and me.
  • 00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:27.290
  • You and me. it's us, god.
  • 00:04:27.357 --> 00:04:28.591
  • It's us, god. and you know what?
  • 00:04:28.658 --> 00:04:29.492
  • And you know what? we're a majority.
  • 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:30.827
  • We're a majority. we can do this together."
  • 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:33.563
  • We can do this together." i think too often, we just
  • 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.832
  • I think too often, we just sit back and say, "you know
  • 00:04:35.898 --> 00:04:37.066
  • Sit back and say, "you know what?
  • 00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:37.867
  • What? it's too difficult for me so
  • 00:04:37.934 --> 00:04:38.768
  • It's too difficult for me so i'm not gonna do it."
  • 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:39.802
  • I'm not gonna do it." because that's the
  • 00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:40.436
  • Because that's the comfortable thing to do and
  • 00:04:40.503 --> 00:04:41.871
  • Comfortable thing to do and we let things pass that we
  • 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:42.772
  • We let things pass that we shouldn't.
  • 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:43.873
  • Shouldn't. and that's when we get
  • 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:44.741
  • And that's when we get unhappy because there's
  • 00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:46.209
  • Unhappy because there's something on the inside of us
  • 00:04:46.275 --> 00:04:47.143
  • Something on the inside of us that's saying, "there's more
  • 00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.311
  • That's saying, "there's more in store.
  • 00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:49.412
  • In store. you can do this.
  • 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:50.346
  • You can do this. you can do this."
  • 00:04:50.413 --> 00:04:51.414
  • You can do this." it's always pushing us.
  • 00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:53.015
  • It's always pushing us. it's always pushing us.
  • 00:04:53.082 --> 00:04:54.150
  • It's always pushing us. now, it's a matter of are we
  • 00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:55.318
  • Now, it's a matter of are we gonna take this step of faith
  • 00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:56.586
  • Gonna take this step of faith and do it?
  • 00:04:56.652 --> 00:04:57.987
  • And do it? i've heard joel say this a
  • 00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.021

  • Guys doin' lookin' at me?" you know, i'll never forget
  • 00:05:25.848 --> 00:05:26.716
  • You know, i'll never forget that first sermon.
  • 00:05:26.783 --> 00:05:28.584
  • That first sermon. i looked down at joel and i
  • 00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:31.254
  • I looked down at joel and i saw him wearing his father's
  • 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.822
  • Saw him wearing his father's shoes.
  • 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:34.424
  • Shoes. now, listen, these shoes were
  • 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:35.958
  • Now, listen, these shoes were shoes that he and i had
  • 00:05:36.025 --> 00:05:37.160
  • Shoes that he and i had bought years ago in italy for
  • 00:05:37.226 --> 00:05:39.862
  • Bought years ago in italy for his father.
  • 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:40.963
  • His father. we wanted to give him
  • 00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:41.631
  • We wanted to give him something really special.
  • 00:05:41.697 --> 00:05:43.032
  • Something really special. so we bought him a pair of
  • 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:44.033
  • So we bought him a pair of alligator shoes, something he
  • 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:45.234
  • Alligator shoes, something he wouldn't buy for himself.
  • 00:05:45.301 --> 00:05:46.602
  • Wouldn't buy for himself. we used all the money we had
  • 00:05:46.669 --> 00:05:47.837
  • We used all the money we had so we couldn't buy anything
  • 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:49.105
  • So we couldn't buy anything for ourself.
  • 00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:50.139
  • For ourself. but we brought those shoes
  • 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:52.074
  • But we brought those shoes home and we presented them to
  • 00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.309
  • Home and we presented them to his father, and his father
  • 00:05:53.376 --> 00:05:54.410
  • His father, and his father loved the shoes.
  • 00:05:54.477 --> 00:05:55.545
  • Loved the shoes. they were beautiful shoes.
  • 00:05:55.611 --> 00:05:57.480
  • But when i looked up there
  • 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.147
  • But when i looked up there and i saw him wearing his
  • 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:59.115
  • And i saw him wearing his dad's shoes, 'course, a
  • 00:05:59.182 --> 00:06:00.483
  • Dad's shoes, 'course, a thousand things went through
  • 00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:01.384
  • Thousand things went through my mind.
  • 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:02.485
  • My mind. i was always sitting on the
  • 00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:03.252
  • I was always sitting on the edge of my seat just saying,
  • 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.053
  • Edge of my seat just saying, "god, give him everything i
  • 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.188
  • "god, give him everything i have and everything you have

  • Have and everything you have too."
  • 00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:08.558
  • Too." but the truth of the matter
  • 00:06:08.624 --> 00:06:09.592
  • But the truth of the matter is he wasn't wearing his
  • 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.760
  • Is he wasn't wearing his father's shoes to fill his
  • 00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:12.762
  • Father's shoes to fill his father's shoes.
  • 00:06:12.829 --> 00:06:14.564
  • Father's shoes. he was wearing his father's

  • 00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:21.464
  • Asks us to do things that are way over our head for the
  • 00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:22.798
  • Way over our head for the very reason that he knows
  • 00:07:22.865 --> 00:07:24.934
  • Very reason that he knows it's over our head.
  • 00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:26.502
  • It's over our head. he knows it's gonna be

  • You this. it's not god.
  • 00:07:46.289 --> 00:07:47.456
  • It's not god. because god wants you to go
  • 00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:48.991
  • Because god wants you to go beyond your ability and tap
  • 00:07:49.058 --> 00:07:50.927
  • Beyond your ability and tap into his ability.
  • 00:07:50.993 --> 00:07:52.662

  • When you do it with god. walk in your father's shoes.
  • 00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:03.673
  • Walk in your father's shoes. whenever you feel fear and
  • 00:08:03.739 --> 00:08:05.408
  • Whenever you feel fear and whenever you feel doubt, just

  • Snatch us out of god's hands as long as we're in faith
  • 00:13:55.457 --> 00:13:57.793
  • As long as we're in faith honoring god you won't go to
  • 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.962
  • Honoring god you won't go to be with the lord one second
  • 00:14:00.029 --> 00:14:00.930
  • Be with the lord one second before your time.
  • 00:14:00.996 --> 00:14:02.364
  • Before your time. there is a hedge of
  • 00:14:02.431 --> 00:14:03.599
  • There is a hedge of protection around you that
  • 00:14:03.666 --> 00:14:05.267
  • Protection around you that the enemy cannot cross.
  • 00:14:05.334 --> 00:14:06.869
  • The enemy cannot cross. it's a blood line that the
  • 00:14:06.936 --> 00:14:07.903
  • It's a blood line that the enemy cannot cross, so that's
  • 00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:09.138
  • Enemy cannot cross, so that's why we don't have
  • 00:14:09.204 --> 00:14:10.005
  • Why we don't have to live in fear.
  • 00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:11.941
  • We don't have to live worried
  • 00:14:12.141 --> 00:14:12.675
  • We don't have to live worried and when i was praying that
  • 00:14:12.741 --> 00:14:15.244
  • And when i was praying that scripture, "no weapon formed
  • 00:14:15.311 --> 00:14:17.112
  • Scripture, "no weapon formed against us will prosper," and
  • 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.847
  • Against us will prosper," and i think the key is it doesn't
  • 00:14:18.914 --> 00:14:20.482
  • I think the key is it doesn't say that nothing will form
  • 00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:22.084
  • Say that nothing will form against you, that you'll
  • 00:14:22.151 --> 00:14:23.786
  • Against you, that you'll never have any difficulties
  • 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:25.254
  • Never have any difficulties if you serve the lord.
  • 00:14:25.321 --> 00:14:26.155
  • If you serve the lord. well, we all know that's not
  • 00:14:26.221 --> 00:14:27.156
  • Well, we all know that's not reality.
  • 00:14:27.222 --> 00:14:28.223
  • Reality. things will form, you know,
  • 00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:29.692
  • Things will form, you know, situations in your health,
  • 00:14:29.758 --> 00:14:30.993
  • Situations in your health, your marriage, your finances.
  • 00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:32.261
  • Your marriage, your finances. the promise is, "lord, i
  • 00:14:32.328 --> 00:14:34.229
  • The promise is, "lord, i thank you that this is not
  • 00:14:34.296 --> 00:14:35.331
  • Thank you that this is not going to prosper against me."
  • 00:14:35.397 --> 00:14:36.966
  • Going to prosper against me." and i've learned one of the
  • 00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:39.268
  • And i've learned one of the best ways you can pray is to
  • 00:14:39.335 --> 00:14:40.569
  • Best ways you can pray is to pray god's word.
  • 00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:42.304
  • Pray god's word. "lord, i want--in the midst
  • 00:14:42.371 --> 00:14:43.572
  • "lord, i want--in the midst of a difficulty, lord, i
  • 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.540
  • Of a difficulty, lord, i wanna thank you that this is
  • 00:14:44.606 --> 00:14:45.741
  • Wanna thank you that this is not going to prosper.
  • 00:14:45.808 --> 00:14:46.942
  • Not going to prosper. lord, i thank you that you're
  • 00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:47.910
  • Lord, i thank you that you're supplying all of my needs.
  • 00:14:47.977 --> 00:14:49.445
  • Supplying all of my needs. lord, you said you would
  • 00:14:49.511 --> 00:14:50.846
  • Lord, you said you would restore health back into me.
  • 00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:52.414
  • Restore health back into me. lord, you said you would
  • 00:14:52.481 --> 00:14:53.582
  • Lord, you said you would supply my needs according to
  • 00:14:53.649 --> 00:14:54.817
  • Supply my needs according to your riches.
  • 00:14:54.883 --> 00:14:55.884
  • Your riches. lord, you said greater is he
  • 00:14:55.951 --> 00:14:56.986
  • Lord, you said greater is he that's in me than he that
  • 00:14:57.052 --> 00:14:58.287
  • That's in me than he that comes against me."
  • 00:14:58.354 --> 00:14:59.321
  • Comes against me." see, take this in the right
  • 00:14:59.388 --> 00:15:01.690
  • See, take this in the right sense, but god is not
  • 00:15:01.757 --> 00:15:02.992
  • Sense, but god is not necessarily obligated to
  • 00:15:03.058 --> 00:15:05.260
  • Necessarily obligated to bring to pass what you say
  • 00:15:05.327 --> 00:15:06.495
  • Bring to pass what you say but he is obligated to bring
  • 00:15:06.562 --> 00:15:08.764
  • But he is obligated to bring to pass what he says.
  • 00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:10.466
  • To pass what he says. so when you pray god's
  • 00:15:10.532 --> 00:15:11.400
  • So when you pray god's promises, "lord, these things
  • 00:15:11.467 --> 00:15:13.836
  • Promises, "lord, these things are coming against me but you
  • 00:15:13.902 --> 00:15:15.104
  • Are coming against me but you said no weapon formed against
  • 00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:16.638
  • Said no weapon formed against me will prosper," that's when
  • 00:15:16.705 --> 00:15:18.140
  • Me will prosper," that's when there's power.
  • 00:15:18.207 --> 00:15:19.575
  • There's power. the scripture says the spirit
  • 00:15:19.641 --> 00:15:20.876
  • The scripture says the spirit of faith is in our words.
  • 00:15:20.943 --> 00:15:22.678
  • Of faith is in our words. don't go around complaining.
  • 00:15:22.745 --> 00:15:24.480
  • Don't go around complaining. go around speaking god's word
  • 00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.714
  • Go around speaking god's word over your life.
  • 00:15:25.781 --> 00:15:27.182
  • Over your life. let's live from a place of
  • 00:15:27.249 --> 00:15:28.050
  • Let's live from a place of faith and not from a place of
  • 00:15:28.117 --> 00:15:29.585
  • Faith and not from a place of fear.
  • 00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:30.686
  • Fear. let's know he's still on the
  • 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:31.620
  • Let's know he's still on the throne and what was that
  • 00:15:31.687 --> 00:15:34.189
  • Throne and what was that song?
  • 00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:34.857
  • Song? i liked that.
  • 00:15:34.923 --> 00:15:35.491
  • I liked that. "let it be known, our god is
  • 00:15:35.557 --> 00:15:36.358
  • "let it be known, our god is still on the throne.
  • 00:15:36.425 --> 00:15:37.226
  • Still on the throne. if all hell shall break
  • 00:15:37.292 --> 00:15:37.993
  • If all hell shall break loose, we'll still be
  • 00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.028
  • Loose, we'll still be standing strong."
  • 00:15:39.094 --> 00:15:40.596
  • Standing strong." that's not the words, but
  • 00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:41.463
  • That's not the words, but that's good too.
  • 00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:42.398
  • That's good too. but anyway, we're gonna take
  • 00:15:42.464 --> 00:15:44.133
  • But anyway, we're gonna take a moment to pray today.
  • 00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:45.167
  • A moment to pray today. if there's something that
  • 00:15:45.234 --> 00:15:46.301
  • If there's something that maybe is heavy on your heart
  • 00:15:46.368 --> 00:15:48.370
  • Maybe is heavy on your heart or you want us to pray over
  • 00:15:48.437 --> 00:15:49.171
  • Or you want us to pray over your dreams, anything, we
