  • When the lord told me to share this word, he said, i want you
  • 00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:42.118
  • To talk to my people because a lot of them that i have

  • My life, how i plan for things to work out.
  • 00:02:36.573 --> 00:02:38.975
  • Goodbye to orpah is i gotta be me and i gotta do it my way and
  • 00:02:38.975 --> 00:02:43.613
  • I gotta do my own thing.
  • 00:02:43.613 --> 00:02:44.948
  • Goodbye to orpah means that i am through doing things my way,

  • 00:03:00.997 --> 00:03:05.635
  • Could not carry with me into my destiny because orpah makes me
  • 00:03:05.635 --> 00:03:10.673
  • Too heavy to make the journey.
  • 00:03:10.673 --> 00:03:12.408

  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:23.820 --> 00:03:25.154
  • If i don't change before the clock strike 12, if i don't
  • 00:03:25.154 --> 00:03:29.125
  • Change before the clock strikes 12, i mights wells to go back
  • 00:03:29.125 --> 00:03:33.730
  • With orpah, if i'm still going to be who i used to be.
  • 00:03:33.730 --> 00:03:41.904
  • Let me see your watch.
  • 00:03:41.904 --> 00:03:43.773
  • The ticking of a clock striking 12, that won't make you
  • 00:03:43.773 --> 00:03:50.313
  • A new man.
  • 00:03:50.313 --> 00:03:52.315
  • The turning of a calendar don't make you a new woman.
  • 00:03:52.315 --> 00:03:56.886
  • Never ask a clock to do what a decision has got to do.
  • 00:03:56.886 --> 00:04:06.029
  • If the clock strikes 12 and you are still who you used to be,
  • 00:04:06.029 --> 00:04:10.867
  • You might as well stay where you used to stay.
  • 00:04:10.867 --> 00:04:15.538
  • I'll tell you what i'm gonna do.
  • 00:04:15.538 --> 00:04:18.274
  • Orpah, and all that you represent, i'm gonna forget
  • 00:04:18.274 --> 00:04:23.479
  • Those things.
  • 00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:30.386
  • I'm gonna forget those things which are behind me.
  • 00:04:30.386 --> 00:04:34.457
  • I'm gonna forget that-- it's easy to forget the bad, but
  • 00:04:34.457 --> 00:04:36.893
  • Sometimes you gotta forget stuff you love, that you had to
  • 00:04:36.893 --> 00:04:40.663
  • Kiss goodbye.
  • 00:04:40.663 --> 00:04:42.365
  • I wouldn't have kissed her if i hated her, but i still got to
  • 00:04:42.365 --> 00:04:45.835
  • Forget it because i don't have the strength
  • 00:04:45.835 --> 00:04:54.344
  • To carry that which is not assigned to my future.
  • 00:04:56.713 --> 00:05:02.719
  • Some things are assigned to your past that are not assigned to
  • 00:05:06.923 --> 00:05:11.627
  • Your future.
  • 00:05:11.627 --> 00:05:13.830
  • And i'd shake you too if i could.
  • 00:05:13.830 --> 00:05:17.133
  • I'd shake you too.
  • 00:05:17.133 --> 00:05:25.074
  • I'd shake you till you understand.
  • 00:05:25.074 --> 00:05:27.910
  • When you get bitter, you don't just shake off the bed.
  • 00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:34.951
  • You shake off the good too.
  • 00:05:34.951 --> 00:05:38.654
  • And i'd shake her off, like elijah shook off elijah and told
  • 00:05:38.654 --> 00:05:45.194
  • Him to go back.
  • 00:05:45.194 --> 00:05:47.563
  • But every time i shook her, she stuck to me.
  • 00:05:47.563 --> 00:05:54.570
  • The lord told me to tell you some of the stuff you're trying
  • 00:05:54.570 --> 00:05:56.906
  • To shake, you gotta take it with you.
  • 00:05:56.906 --> 00:06:03.379
  • If they'll let you shake them, they wasn't for you.
  • 00:06:03.379 --> 00:06:08.751
  • But if you keep trying to shake 'em and they won't be shook,
  • 00:06:08.751 --> 00:06:15.491
  • It's a sign that god is about.
  • 00:06:15.491 --> 00:06:18.694
  • Oh, y'all don't hear what i'm saying to you.
  • 00:06:18.694 --> 00:06:23.800
  • He told me to tell you, until you get over yourself, you're
  • 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.204
  • Gonna feel like a failure.
  • 00:06:28.204 --> 00:06:31.641
  • The only thing that failed was what you had in mind.
  • 00:06:31.641 --> 00:06:39.449
  • And it took god all of these years to kill out what you had
  • 00:06:39.449 --> 00:06:44.387
  • In mind so that you could discover-- so that you could
  • 00:06:44.387 --> 00:06:48.891
  • Discover why he put you on the earth to begin with.
  • 00:06:48.891 --> 00:06:55.364
  • It was not what you pictured for yourself
  • 00:06:55.364 --> 00:06:58.935
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:06:58.935 --> 00:07:01.637
  • But it was what he has ordained for you to do and
  • 00:07:01.637 --> 00:07:07.643
  • You have gone as far as you can go by yourself.
  • 00:07:07.643 --> 00:07:17.687
  • No, don't clap, 'cause you got to open up that old stony heart
  • 00:07:19.121 --> 00:07:25.595
  • That don't let anybody in, that scary place that you don't let
  • 00:07:25.595 --> 00:07:30.600
  • Nobody in, because of all the stuff you went through back
  • 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.303
  • There, you are shut down like fort knox.
  • 00:07:34.303 --> 00:07:38.174
  • You smiling at people, but you're not present in
  • 00:07:38.174 --> 00:07:41.477
  • The moment.
  • 00:07:41.477 --> 00:07:42.812
  • You're so excited about the future that you're ignoring
  • 00:07:42.812 --> 00:07:45.314
  • Where you are.
  • 00:07:45.314 --> 00:07:46.682
  • People who are shut up in the present, always either talking
  • 00:07:46.682 --> 00:07:49.619
  • About the past or the future.
  • 00:07:49.619 --> 00:07:51.554
  • But in order to get what god has for you, you have to be here,
  • 00:07:51.554 --> 00:07:55.791
  • Right now, in this moment holding on to what you got, not
  • 00:07:55.791 --> 00:08:01.464
  • What you lost, not what you hope to get, but until you seize now,
  • 00:08:01.464 --> 00:08:07.603
  • You'll never have tomorrow.
  • 00:08:07.603 --> 00:08:15.378
  • And it ain't easy to open up your heart to ruth when you just
  • 00:08:19.549 --> 00:08:26.722
  • Kissed orpah goodbye.
  • 00:08:26.722 --> 00:08:32.361
  • You know how it's hard.
  • 00:08:32.361 --> 00:08:34.564
  • In the back of my mind, the reason i kept sending you away,
  • 00:08:34.564 --> 00:08:40.269
  • It wasn't that i didn't want you.
  • 00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:43.639
  • It wasn't that i didn't need you, but i thought wilt thou
  • 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:49.912
  • Leave me also.
  • 00:08:49.912 --> 00:08:54.784
  • See, i can't take another heartbreak and i was afraid to
  • 00:08:54.784 --> 00:09:04.126
  • Let you in, in case you left.
  • 00:09:04.126 --> 00:09:09.632
  • You'll be shocked at the people who have stopped living and stop
  • 00:09:09.632 --> 00:09:14.370
  • Loving and stop caring and stop trying because of what they've
  • 00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:20.743
  • Been through.
  • 00:09:20.743 --> 00:09:22.612
  • But you are helping me to see.
  • 00:09:22.612 --> 00:09:27.883
  • You think you followed me so that i could teach you, but you
  • 00:09:27.883 --> 00:09:35.625
  • Taught me.
  • 00:09:35.625 --> 00:09:38.027
  • You taught me ruth, that my life isn't over, it's just changed.
  • 00:09:38.027 --> 00:09:48.738
  • That my purpose is in you and not in me.
  • 00:09:48.804 --> 00:09:53.643
  • See, i've always been the star player who stood center stage
  • 00:09:53.643 --> 00:10:02.018

  • If you are willing to get out of your comfort zone, if you are

  • Over yourself.
  • 00:16:39.915 --> 00:16:42.151
  • It's because i had to get over myself.
  • 00:16:42.151 --> 00:16:45.854
  • You ain't gonna get it no cheaper.
  • 00:16:45.854 --> 00:16:49.992
  • You're not gonna get it any cheaper.
  • 00:16:49.992 --> 00:16:55.164
  • Now, we eat different foods and we wear different clothes and we
  • 00:16:55.164 --> 00:17:01.370
  • Have different customs that don't even make sense, but if
  • 00:17:01.370 --> 00:17:06.442
  • You're not stubborn, and if you listen at instructions, i'mma
  • 00:17:06.442 --> 00:17:12.714
  • Show you how to win in a new place.
  • 00:17:12.714 --> 00:17:18.320
  • There's a man who owns the field you've been gleaning in, his
  • 00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:24.426
  • Name is boaz.
  • 00:17:24.426 --> 00:17:29.731
  • And you wait till it's late in the evening.
  • 00:17:29.731 --> 00:17:32.935
  • Don't go in the morning, go in the evening when he kind of
  • 00:17:32.935 --> 00:17:39.675
  • Sleepy, and i want you to lay down at his feet and when he
  • 00:17:39.675 --> 00:17:49.251
  • Wake up, just say, cover me with your skirts.
  • 00:17:49.251 --> 00:17:57.893
  • That sets him off girl, that sets him off.
  • 00:17:57.893 --> 00:18:05.801
  • You see, what the bible is actually telling us is that the
  • 00:18:05.801 --> 00:18:11.807
  • Holy spirit has talked to us about a jesus that we have
  • 00:18:11.807 --> 00:18:17.146
  • Never met.
  • 00:18:17.146 --> 00:18:21.950
  • And in spite of all the instructions that have been
  • 00:18:21.950 --> 00:18:24.520
  • Given to us, we have never met him, and it is teaching us how
  • 00:18:24.520 --> 00:18:31.093
  • To come into covenant with jesus.
  • 00:18:31.093 --> 00:18:34.897
  • That in order to come in covenant with jesus, you don't
  • 00:18:34.897 --> 00:18:38.033
  • Come to his head, 'cause you're not above him.
  • 00:18:38.033 --> 00:18:42.804
  • You don't come to his side because you're not equal
  • 00:18:42.804 --> 00:18:46.542
  • With him.
  • 00:18:46.542 --> 00:18:48.010
  • But if you come down to his feet, everything you will ever
  • 00:18:48.010 --> 00:18:54.917
  • Get from god will always require that you get down at his feet.
  • 00:18:54.917 --> 00:19:01.757
  • The woman with the alabaster box got down at his feet.
  • 00:19:01.757 --> 00:19:07.429
  • The woman with the issue of blood got down at his feet.
  • 00:19:07.429 --> 00:19:12.968
  • Ezekiel when he saw him, got down at his feet.
  • 00:19:12.968 --> 00:19:17.806
  • Whatever you want from god, you don't get it by being high and
  • 00:19:17.806 --> 00:19:21.810
  • Up in it.
  • 00:19:21.810 --> 00:19:23.178
  • You get it by getting down at his feet.
  • 00:19:23.178 --> 00:19:25.981
  • Jesus humbled himself.
  • 00:19:25.981 --> 00:19:28.383
  • He humbled himself.
  • 00:19:28.383 --> 00:19:30.285
  • You can never be exalted until you humbled yourself.
  • 00:19:30.285 --> 00:19:36.658
  • And because ruth got down, boaz bequeathed everything to her.
  • 00:19:36.658 --> 00:19:44.299
  • And the lower she went, the higher he raised her, until she
  • 00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:50.072
  • End up owning the place she used to work for because she got
  • 00:19:50.072 --> 00:19:55.811
  • Over herself.
  • 00:19:55.811 --> 00:19:59.748
  • Give the lord a praise.
  • 00:19:59.748 --> 00:20:07.923
  • So the lord told me to teach you how to get over yourself because
  • 00:20:07.923 --> 00:20:15.731
  • It is not your enemies that's killing you and it is not your
  • 00:20:15.731 --> 00:20:20.469
  • Devils that's killing you and it is not your wife and it is not
  • 00:20:20.469 --> 00:20:24.906
  • Your husband and it is not your children.
  • 00:20:24.906 --> 00:20:29.244
  • It is you.
  • 00:20:29.244 --> 00:20:32.781
  • You don't need to get over me, you need to get over you.
  • 00:20:32.781 --> 00:20:39.388
  • You are the only consistent character in every scene that
  • 00:20:39.388 --> 00:20:44.893
  • Ever failed.
  • 00:20:44.893 --> 00:20:49.931
  • You change dates and it messed up again.
  • 00:20:49.931 --> 00:20:52.567
  • You change jobs and it messed up again.
  • 00:20:52.567 --> 00:20:54.770
  • You change churches and it messed up again.
  • 00:20:54.770 --> 00:20:56.938
  • You change cities and it messed up again.
  • 00:20:56.938 --> 00:20:58.974
  • So it can't be the things you're changing, the mess up has got
  • 00:20:58.974 --> 00:21:03.345
  • To be in you.
  • 00:21:03.345 --> 00:21:09.151
  • This is not the book of naomi.
  • 00:21:09.151 --> 00:21:15.223
  • It is not about you.
  • 00:21:15.223 --> 00:21:17.092
  • It is not about you.
  • 00:21:19.094 --> 00:21:26.034
  • God only blesses people who finally realize it is not
  • 00:21:26.034 --> 00:21:31.173
  • About them.
  • 00:21:31.173 --> 00:21:36.945
  • You know why god always blessed the prophets that he blessed?
  • 00:21:36.945 --> 00:21:43.185
  • His only begotten son that he blessed?
  • 00:21:43.185 --> 00:21:46.455
  • Jesus didn't go to the cross for him.
  • 00:21:46.455 --> 00:21:51.727
  • God blesses people who do things for you and not for themselves.
  • 00:21:51.727 --> 00:21:59.801
  • This is not about you and some score you need to settle and
  • 00:21:59.801 --> 00:22:05.974
  • Some mountain you need to move and something you need to prove
  • 00:22:05.974 --> 00:22:08.777
  • To your dead auntie.
  • 00:22:08.777 --> 00:22:15.584
  • You got 12 1/2 hours to figure out-- give me that music you
  • 00:22:15.584 --> 00:22:23.024
  • Hear, about kiss and say goodbye, real soft.
  • 00:22:23.024 --> 00:22:30.132
  • It's funny, but it's true.
  • 00:22:33.735 --> 00:22:37.472
  • The reason i wanted to use this song is because when you talk to
  • 00:22:37.472 --> 00:22:41.543
  • Church folks about saying goodbye, they always shout.
  • 00:22:41.543 --> 00:22:46.381
  • 'cause what they shouting about is saying goodbye to stuff you
  • 00:22:46.381 --> 00:22:49.851
  • Didn't want anyway.
  • 00:22:49.851 --> 00:22:55.657
  • But the thing that moves me about the verses i read is it
  • 00:22:55.657 --> 00:22:58.527
  • Was a whole lot of kissing going on.
  • 00:22:58.527 --> 00:23:02.731
  • It was a lot of kisses and it was a lot of goodbye.
  • 00:23:02.731 --> 00:23:10.739
  • You never kiss something you hate.
  • 00:23:10.739 --> 00:23:18.413
  • You kiss something that's always been there with you.
  • 00:23:18.413 --> 00:23:24.419
  • Find out what you got to let go, find out what you have to
  • 00:23:24.419 --> 00:23:28.690
  • Release, find out what you have to turn over to god, find out
  • 00:23:28.690 --> 00:23:34.963
  • What you have got to...
  • 00:23:34.963 --> 00:23:41.203
  • This is the most personal thing you will ever do and you only
  • 00:23:45.407 --> 00:23:50.645
  • Got 12 hours to do it.
  • 00:23:50.645 --> 00:23:55.383
  • Bow your heads, close your eyes, join hands with somebody.
  • 00:23:55.383 --> 00:24:07.095
  • I've never met anybody who was incredibly successful at
  • 00:24:11.233 --> 00:24:14.936
  • Anything who wasn't incredibly crushed in some way.
  • 00:24:14.936 --> 00:24:21.910
  • I've never met anybody who was tough and angry and fight back,
  • 00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:27.048
  • And whether they were in the street or in the boardroom, is
  • 00:24:27.048 --> 00:24:29.885
  • Always to protect some little broken, disappointed little
  • 00:24:29.885 --> 00:24:32.654
  • Thing down the inside of 'em.
  • 00:24:32.654 --> 00:24:36.658
  • But hear me well, for where god's getting ready to take you,
  • 00:24:36.658 --> 00:24:44.366
  • You have to kiss that pain goodbye and trust that what's
  • 00:24:44.366 --> 00:24:49.170
  • In front of you is stronger than what's behind you.
  • 00:24:49.170 --> 00:24:59.214
