Good to see you. If you have your Bibles, go
ahead and reach and get it. Man, did they not
usher in the presence of the Lord today? Thank
you, guys. Wonderful. Wonderful. It's always
good, but some days is gooder than other days.
That's the same way with what I'm about to do.
Hopefully, it's always good, but some days it's
better than others. I know I feel like it's better
than others. Sometimes when I leave here, I think,
my Lord, that was pitiful, like last week. Sure.
I'm going to try not to be as personal. Tell
all my tales about myself. I ain't going to try
to do that no more. Appreciate you coming back.
Any visitors in the house? First time visitors,
anybody? Hang on, we're about to take a ride.
And they got you plumbed down front. They were
no better than that on your first visit. My Lord.
Amen. On the 21st of September, that's a Sunday,
right? I think it is. We're going to have a staff
appreciation day for the people who labor among
you. Amen. Pastor Brian, Sister Erica, Brother
Randy, Sister Robin, Sister Sandra. We're going
to appreciate them that day. Amen? I'm going
to get with those. We're getting into a very
highly fellowship season. So just get prepared.
We're going to spend some time together over
the next couple months. I hope that's okay. And
if you don't want to spend time with us, stay
at the house. See, there they should have warned
y 'all. But if you'd like to spend time together,
come on. And we're going to eat whatever's out
there, and we're just going to have a wonderful
time. I mean, if you do, absolutely not. You
just can't stand fish. Raise your hand. Let me
share something with you. Don't eat it tonight.
Just don't get a piece. And you'll be fine. There's
going to be some chicken strips. And all kind
of side stuff for you. You won't leave hungry.
There will be enough dessert that you can make
it until you get to McDonald's. But what you
can't find at McDonald's is each other. Amen.
Fellowship is the strength of the church. We
grow stronger when we're together. I firmly believe
that. If you have your Bibles, be turning to
Exodus chapter 40, Exodus 40. We're about, well,
we started last week. I'm going to preach for
a little bit until the Lord turns me loose from
it. On this, a visit to the archives. Yeah, a
visit to the archives. And what that means is,
as the Lord leads me, I have four scrolls, I
call them. This is the 99 version. I got four
of these, and then I have some loose leaf parchment
that was before that. We're going to revisit
the archives, is what I call it. And we're going
to drag out the papyrus. And I don't have any
animal skins. I'm not that old. But for the next
last week and for the next few weeks, I will
be preaching from the previous century. Messages
that the Lord spurred me on early. And what I
got to thinking about that, the previous century.
Makes me sound really old. I am getting there.
Thank you, Fred, for that reminder. Always a
brother in Christ to keep lifting you up. Appreciate
that. It's okay, Sister Ann. We're going to be
all right. You are. Well, truth is truth, isn't
it? Yeah. Exodus 40. A visit to the archives.
Verse 34 reads, Then a cloud covered the tent
of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord
filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able
to enter into the tent of the congregation because
the cloud abode their own. And the glory of the
Lord filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud
was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children
of Israel went onward in all their journeys.
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they
journeyed not till the day that it was taken
up. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle
by day and fire was on it by night in the sight
of all the house of Israel throughout all. Their
journeys. A visit to the archive. This little
word today is a secret to our success. A secret
to our success. Now mind you, this was in the
last century. Lord, I love you and I thank you.
Thank you for your goodness and your mercy. Your
help, your hope. And all that we need today is
in you. And so I ask, Lord, now for your richest
blessings. And on our ears to hear, Lord, send
forth that spirit that causes it to be easy to
preach. And, Lord, we will leave this place strengthened
and built up through your anointing. In Christ's
name, the church said, amen. There was a Google
search done a little bit ago on the secret. And
there were over 500 million results came back.
Everybody's got their own secret. If there's
500 million letting it out, I don't think it's
a secret anymore. The secret's out. Amen? When
we begin to look at this passage of Scripture
here, it's the ending of the book of Exodus.
The Spirit of the Lord is moving. The tabernacle
is already constructed and His glory is sitting
upon it. Amen? The cloud became the symbol of
the Lord's presence. This season and time of
Israel's life, they looked for the cloud. Sometimes
the cloud was over them. Sometimes it was behind
them. Sometimes it was in front of them, going
before. The Lord was over them to shield them,
behind them to protect them, in front of them
to lead them to where he wanted them to be. As
we look at this text this morning, I think it
serves us well again as another reminder. As
the Lord is over us, behind us, and before us,
he's also beneath us, holding us up. Amen? So
as this reminder, Moses... He gives the people
in Deuteronomy 1, after a discouraging report,
Moses reminds the people that God is with them
in chapter 1, verses 28 through 30. Sounds like
a good reminder for us today. You and I need
to know that the Lord is with us, even though
sometimes we receive discouraging reports. Amen?
For Moses, it was those ten negative spies that
come back out of the land. Oh, there's giants
there. We can't go over there. Well, what does
the place look like? Well, now, it's exactly
like God said it was. It's flowing milk and honey.
Look, we brought some fruit back. We got grapes
the size of plums, right? Everything's exactly
like God said, but the sons of Anak are there.
There's some giants in the land, and we are not
able. To take it. Well, that just hit Moses the
wrong way right off the bat. I mean, it just
rubbed him wrong. What do you mean? I'm here
to tell you today that the Lord is encouraging
us. Caleb gets excited. He gets upset. Joshua's
all, they're in this thing together, he and Caleb.
And Caleb says, look, we can do this. God's going
before us. He's with us. He's promised, let us
arise right now. Let's go get it. But how many
know discouragement can really set you back?
Psalm 84 and 11, the psalmist says, here's a
little encouragement. For the Lord God is a sun
and shield. The Lord will give grace and glory.
No good thing will he withhold from them that
walk uprightly. Amen? The secret to our success,
we succeed when the Lord's presence is with us.
I mean, the revelation's out. It's not a secret
any longer. You succeed when the Lord's presence
is with you. And that's what Moses is telling
us, and he's letting everyone know, and he's
letting Israel know. When the tabernacle was
there, the glory of the Lord set on it. It was
so thick, Moses couldn't even go in. They didn't
go anywhere as long as the cloud was on the tabernacle.
Amen? and they look for the light, how would
you like to be the tent closest to the pillar
of fire? I mean, it was lit all night long. I
can't sleep with the light on. I'm learning.
It's difficult. Amen? How would you like to be
that by the pillar of fire at night? Even though
they're kind of camped a little bit away, everybody's
all the way around it, so the light shines in
everybody's tent door. Nobody's sleeping good.
But can I tell you what a reassurance it would
be? What happens if the light isn't shining?
Oh, my Lord. What if the light isn't on? God's
presence, where is he? Amen. Every night in their
journey, the cloud went with them as they journeyed.
Everywhere they went, the presence of the Lord
went with them. Can you see where this is going
already? Everywhere we go, the presence of the
Lord goes with us. There's no place that you
can't go. What did the psalmist say? I can go
to the heavens, you're there. I can descend to
the lowest. I can even go all the way down into
hell itself. and your presence that there's nowhere
I can go that I can escape you. Somebody needs
to know that this morning. Wherever you're at,
whatever danger you may find yourself in, whatever
battle zone, whatever foot of the mountain that
you're looking up, everywhere you go, God is
going with you, especially the presence of the
Lord goes with those who are walking uprightly.
Therein lies the key. Here is the secret. For
the Lord God is a sun and a shield. The Lord
will give grace and glory. No good thing will
he withhold. from them that walk uprightly. You
go in him, his grace goes with you, his presence
goes before you. And when we begin to look at
this secret to success, keys to success, I looked
up some of these. There were several different
ones. One of them, this is the keys, seven keys
to success. Ambition, focus, hustle, patience,
persistence, grind, or grit, and sacrifice. Another
one said desire, direction, destination, drive.
Determination, dedication, and discipline. Factor
of four for success. Hard work. 84 % of Americans
said if you work hard, you're going to succeed.
Another 65 % said talent. If you got the talent,
you're going to succeed. 55 % said it's who you
know. It's the people you know. It's the network
that you're in. 55 % of people say you cannot
succeed without that network. And then the others
said luck and circumstance. Well, I'm crossing
that out right there. I do not believe in luck.
Why, pastor, don't you believe in luck? Because
luck is happenstance. I happen to believe that
the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord.
Amen. I happen to believe that God is sovereign,
and he will favor those who walk uprightly before
him, and no good thing will he withhold from
them according to his word. So it's not luck.
If good things are coming your way, it's because
the hand of God is looking over you. It's the
favor of God. that is bestowing upon you. It's
not luck, honey. It's the goodness of God. It's
the presence of God that is going with you. Oh,
then what is the bad stuff? It's the enemy coming
against you, or it's a test of your faith. But
even in the bad stuff, even when things are going
wrong, God's presence is still there. The cloud
is still with you. The fire will still go and
illuminate the darkness of your life. He's not
going to forsake you, and he'll not hold any
good thing in the midst of what bad is going
on in our life. See, we think bad stuff happening
is the absence of God's presence. No, it's not.
That's what the devil said. Well, if God loves
you, he wouldn't let that happen to you. He loves
me. He let it happen to me. And he's going to
give me grace to get through it. Amen? So some
of the secret things to our success. Number one
is understanding your salvation. Amen? Salvation.
It's not a secret. It's out there. Amen? It's
openly and it's widely known. 2 Chronicles 20,
17 says, You shall not need to fight in this
battle. Set yourselves, stand you still, and
see the salvation of the Lord with you. When
there's hardships coming your way, when you're
not looking at a mountain, but you're looking
at a Red Sea, and the people around you are panicking,
amen? We were watching, what was that little
show we was watching last night? The Incredibles,
right? I was watching. me and Cameron and six
guys sitting there watching Incredibles and it's
when the plane was shot down and the kids and
mama's in the in the in the water there and the
kids are just going off they're panicking and
hollering she said She pushed up to it and said,
we're not going to panic. Don't panic, amen.
Your ship's not going down. He's not going to
let you go down. His salvation is with you. What
does salvation mean? By definition, salvation,
a person or thing that is a means or cause or
the source of preservation and rescue. That's
what it is. And when you understand that the
salvation of the Lord is with you, sometimes
you have to get a grip on yourself and say, self,
stand. Stand still. Seth, get a grip. Seth, don't
move. Rest assured that you're in the grace and
the love and the power of God. But stand still
and see. the source of your help. Stand still
and realize the source of your rescue. Hallelujah.
Because the Lord is thy salvation. Hallelujah.
And when you begin, the only reason we succeed
is because of the Lord's goodness and his rescuing
efforts of our everyday life. And because I have
been rescued, I know that I shall succeed. Now
remember, I'm 30 years younger. I'm everywhere
with this. Now I just do good to hold on to it.
The problem is your and my definition of success.
That's where the dilemma comes in. It's how you
define whether you're succeeding or not. It's
like 58 % of Americans feel like you're succeeding
if you make over $200 ,000 a year. That leaves
a bunch of us out as failures. If you're in here
and you're over that, God bless you, then you're
succeeding according to America's standards.
You're succeeding. Hallelujah. But let me tell
somebody in here, it's broke, busted, and about
halfway disgusted. That 200K is not the measurement
of your success. Neither is it the measurement
or the measure which you go by as your encouragement
and you get your joy from it. Hallelujah. No,
that is not where it comes from. But for us all,
the 200K and over and the 25K and under, we get
our goodness and we get our blessings from the
Lord. And my joy and my success is not wrapped
up in my bank account. The joy of the Lord, that's
what's bringing about. And we're going to get
to that in point number three if we ever get
off a point. Number one, but the reason we are
succeeding is because of the salvation of the
Lord. You succeed. Some of the richest people
in this world don't have two quarters to rub
together, but they have the salvation of the
Lord secure in their heart. And when hard times
come, they stand, they sit themselves, and they
watch for and see the delivering power of God
in their life. Hallelujah. Exodus 14, 13 -14,
Moses said unto the people, Fear you not. Stand
still, see the salvation of the Lord, which he
will show to you today. For the Egyptians, whom
you have seen today, you shall see them again
no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you,
and you shall hold your peace. Now, isn't that
very encouraging? Because the Lord is my source.
The Lord is the means whereby I am rescued and
delivered. That's what salvation is. And when
I understand, look. When you get a good grip
and a good hold on your relationship with God
through his son, Jesus Christ, emboldened by
the power of the Holy Ghost, let me tell you,
you can walk your way through Bank Repsy Court
and come out shouting on the other side. How
do you know? Because I've walked down through
there. And I'm here to tell you right now, you
can do it and you can hold your head up. I know
the devil tries to put shame on us, but who is
he anyway? He's the condemner of us, but God
is. He's the one who is the restorer of our soul.
And I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter how
broke you are or have been or how wealthy you
are or have been. All of the in -between of that
is surely knowing that you have a good, firm
grip on the salvation that you have from Christ,
through Christ, and in Christ. And only by that
can we succeed at anything in life. I'm here
to tell you right now, if you don't work at your
relationship with God, it will fail. It's just
like anything. Any other attempt you do in life,
any attempt at business or work, if you don't
put in forth the effort, then you're going to
fail at it. If you're not going to put forth
effort at school, they will give you zeros. I've
got a few bonus points in the past just for effort.
Didn't mean it was correct. They felt sorry for
me, but look, I'll take it. I tried. One thing's
for sure, if you do not ever try, you will never
succeed. It works that way with your relationship
with God. You have to put forth your best foot
and walk in his grace and walk out the salvation
that he so freely gives to us. And once you get
a hold of that, everything in between, you'll
be like the Apostle Paul. He said, I have found
whatsoever state I'm in therein to be content.
If I'm abounding, I'm happy. base, I'm happy.
It doesn't matter what shape I'm in. It doesn't
matter what the enemy throws at me. It doesn't
matter what they come against me with. I've got
a good grip. One thing I do. This one thing I
do, brethren, I'm trying to get a grip on what's
got a grip on me. And I'm trying hard to do it.
But the very thing that I do, first of all, is
I forget those things which are behind me. And
I press toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus. That's the
way you're going to make it. You put the past
behind you, put Christ before you, and know it's
the glory that you have in the power of salvation.
You can make it. Well, visit to the archives.
We got a couple more verses for salvation. There's
four points to this thing. It ain't gonna happen.
So we'll just take our time. How's that? 2 Samuel
22, 47. The Lord liveth, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
We used to sing that little verse. The Lord liveth,
blessed be the rock. May the God of my salvation
be exalted. Hosanna. Right? Hosanna. Give us
that little old song right there. There's an
understanding. The Lord liveth and blessed be
my rock. And exalted be the God of the rock of
my salvation. Again, Psalm 725 and 5. Lead me
into thy truth and teach me, for thou art the
God of my salvation. And on thee do I wait all
the day long. Whichever one of these people put
patience on their list for success, you've got
to be patient. Amen. And I know I'm looking at
a bunch of patient people. Yeah, you've got all
day, all week, all month. You've got the rest
of your life, and you're just patiently waiting.
No, that's not the way we wait. We wait anxiously,
don't we? Well, let me just say I do. I wait
anxiously. You say, well, you're the pastor.
Well, I still get tore up myself. Amen. I still
am in a hurry for God to do what I need him to
do. Come on now. How many of you just got the
rest of your life to wait on him to do what he's
got to do? Well, if necessary, we do. But that's
not the plan in our mind. I need God to move,
and I need God to move yesterday. Today's a little
late, but I'm still here, and I'm still waiting.
That's just the way we process. That's the way
we are as human beings. We want what we want.
when we want it and how we want it. Amen. But
listen, when we wait patiently for the Lord,
it all works out in the Lord's will. It always
works out for his purpose. And when it works
out to his will and his purpose, we become the
ones who are blessed by it. So wait, I say, on
the Lord. Wait, I say. Wait patiently on the
Lord. Why? Because they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength. Hallelujah. They
shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall
walk, not grow weary. They shall run and not
faint. Come on, somebody. We've got to learn.
to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait on the salvation
of God to be released into your situation. Let's
see. Oh, 2 Corinthians 6 and 2 says, For he saith,
I have heard thee in a time acceptable, and in
the day of salvation have I secured thee. Behold,
now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the
day of salvation. What does all that mean? The
Lord's got it marked for you. He's got it marked
for us. Whatever going on, whatever dilemma,
whatever situation's going on in our life, there
is a day that he has marked down. How can you
say that? Because when the time was perfect,
God sent forth his son. Hello, are you with me?
When the time was right. There was an appointed
time for Christ's birth, and he wasn't coming
before, and it wasn't going to be after. But
when the time was accomplished, God sent forth
his son. Can I tell you, when the time is accomplished
for the dilemmas and the situations of our life,
according to his word, God is going to send forth
his salvation, and there's nothing the devil
can do about it. Are you hearing me? When God
says it's coming, there's nothing the devil can
do about it. Ask old Daniel. He prayed 21 days
locked up. Amen. And the angel was dispatched
with his answer. And he was hindered by the prince
of the power of the air of Persia. And the fight
was on. But let me tell you something. When the
answer is dispatched towards you, there may be
a delay. But God hasn't denied you your petition.
Hallelujah. So you got to wait. You got to wait.
You got to wait. And we are, I mean, we just
ooze with waiting. I avoided Zaxby's the other
day because I didn't want to wait for the line
wrapped around the building. Traded one line
for another. We went to Chick -fil -A. But they've
got two lines and they move faster. I love it.
They come to the window and say, can I have a
name for your order? I said, Harold. Don't ever
give them your real name in case you lose it
while you're waiting. They don't say, they said,
give me your name, then I'm hooked. I can't say
Harold. I have to tell them my name. But when
they said, I need a name for your order, Larry.
Fred, let's go with Fred. You really want to
blow their mind, I tell them, Kathy. Every one
of them looks up. Without doubt. I say, it's
her. She's eating today, not me. I'm on carnivore.
Give me some grilled chicken nuggets. They're
good, but they're not as good as them with that
stuff all over them. We just don't wait well.
Tune it up. Because look, until you learn to
wait on the Lord, he's going to make you wait
on him. Until you learn to wait, wait not as
in twiddling our thumbs and patting our foot.
Some of you just do this. Just get all tore up.
How long is it going to be? How much longer is
it going to be? How much longer I got to wait?
Wait, as in defined as serve. Lord, let me wait
on you. Let me get down here and worship you.
Holy is the Lord. Holy is the Lord. Glory to
your name. Amen. Let me wait on you. Lord, I
love you and I thank you and I praise you. Oh,
thank you for what you've done for me. Thank
you for what you're going to do. Let me wait
on you. Wait upon the Lord. While I'm down there.
Amen. Or while I'm walking with my hands. Let
me just lift up my hands unto the Lord. Amen.
Let me lift them up. Let me do what the psalmist
said. Let me do a wave offering. Somebody give
him a wave. We used to do that a lot when I was
a kid. Pastors say, give the Lord a wave offering.
What's that mean? Here I am. Lord, and I know
where you are. Hallelujah, and I'm just offering
you with the body that you've given me. Let me
give you a little prayer. Give the Lord a way.
Oh, clap your hands, all ye people. Amen. The
psalmist declares again a shout with the voice
of triumph. While I'm waiting, Lord, just let
me shout for your glory. If we learn to wait
like that, time goes by. Succeed because he succeeds.
He refuses to allow us to fail. Again, you may
have to redefine your definition of success.
Because what he sees as success and what you
and I know as success are two totally different
things. The Lord sees worship. I always think
of that little widow woman and her might. As
Jesus is set by the offering bucket at the temple,
watching people come in and give their offering.
Some come in with vast amounts and make sure
everybody see them. They jingle it, they shake
it, and then they put it in. When everybody know
how much, they didn't really get the Lord's attention
that much. But when that little widow woman come
up with that little old... Penny offering. Come
on now. Had that little penny offering and she
put it in. It stopped the Lord and he stopped
his disciples. Look, look, look. I want you to
look. There's worship. The others gave out of
their excess. She has given out of her need.
Take mind of that. Amen. Take mind of that. Sometimes
you sow your way out of a drought. I'm going
to get hung up right here. Sometimes you sow
your way out of brokenness. Our church has done
that. We gave our way out of debt. We gave Gideon's
money when we didn't have any money to give.
We should have gave it to somebody else. Like
a lender. We put. Bibles, somewhere, wherever
they put them, we sowed. We sowed into ministers'
lives in the state of Illinois when their overseer
phoned in and talked to the state council of
Tennessee when we were in the state council meeting,
talking to our bishop. Had a need, had a request.
Wasn't much. I've heard a whole lot more. I think
it was like $3 ,000, what he asked for, and the
Holy Ghost said, you give it. I was already thinking
about the conversation that Sister Robin and
I had on that previous Monday. I said, Lord,
if I give it, we're going to have to make it
in small monthly installments. He said, I don't
care how you give it, give it. So with tears
dripping at a council table, I said, Bishop,
Hopewell Church of God's got that covered. And
we did. We did. That's how you do it. If you're
broke, busted, disgusted, check your tithe record.
If you're not tithing, if you're tipping, God
ain't going to bless you. I've been seeing on
Facebook where they're saying that they preach
tithing, it's a lie. Well then, you better take
it up with God. Because it's all through his
book. It's a principle. It's a principle of giving.
predates the law, postdates the crucifixion and
resurrection. And you can't convince me any different.
Give your way out. Salvation. First key to our
success. Second key to our success. God is your
help. You say, well, that sounds like the first
one. I think you're starting to catch on. There's
really only one key. The psalmist said in 46
and 1, God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. Psalm 121, the psalmist
said, I will lift up mine eyes into the hills
from whence cometh my help. My help comes from
the Lord who is the maker of the heavens and
the earth. And then he goes on down and he starts
talking about how the Lord's going to be your
keeper. Your keeper. Your keeper. The Hebrew
word for keeper is protector. And then he goes
on down and he says keep. Keep. Keep. Preserve.
Preserve. He's going to preserve you. He's going
to keep you. Some of you, I almost. Let me get
to the next verse. I'm going to say some of you
look like preservers. But if you'll pop that
lid, you'll get fresh. Hebrews 4 .16 says, Let
us therefore come bold into the throne of grace
that we may attain mercy and find grace to help
in the time of need. He's your help. Psalm 20.
Let me go over here and read this one to you.
Psalm 20. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble.
The name of the God of Jacob defend thee. Send
thee help from the sanctuary and strengthen thee
out of Zion. Remember, all thy offerings. and
accept thy burnt sacrifice. Grant thee according
to thine own heart and fulfill all thy counsel.
We will rejoice in thy salvation and in the name
of our God will we set up our banners. The Lord
fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the
Lord saveth his anointed. He will hear him from
his holy heaven and with the saving strength
of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, some
in horses, but we will remember the name of the
Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen,
but we are risen and stand upright. Save! Lord
the King hear us when we call. He'll help you.
He'll be there for you. Psalm 33. I'm going to
wind this thing down. You're about done. Psalm
33 and 20. Our soul waiteth for the Lord. He
is our help and our shield. For our heart shall
rejoice in him because we have trusted in his
holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us
according as we hope in thee. The Lord is your
help. Psalms 60, 11, and 12. Give us help from
trouble. For vain is the help of man. Though
God, through God we shall do valiantly. For he
it is that shall tread down our enemies. Isaiah
57 through 9. For the Lord God will help thee.
We succeed because he desires for us to succeed.
He hears us when we call. Part of our problem
is sometimes we don't call, we complain. You
better stand on that one. He hears those who
call upon him. We succeed because the Lord is
our salvation. We succeed because the Lord is
our help. And when we're surrounded by trouble,
we need to call on the Lord. Because evidently
the help of man is not sufficient. We can help
each other to a certain degree, can we not? And
we should and we are supposed to. But the help
that we need is really required of the Lord.
Because when he enters in, the perception of
the situation changes. The perception. I didn't
say the situation. The perception that we have
of the situation changes. How so, Pastor? Because
when His presence is there, all things are possible
to those that believe. For God, nothing is impossible.
If the Lord releases us next week, I'm going
to talk about the joy side of this and the refreshing.
Sometimes we just need to know what to do with
our trouble. We need to know what to do with
our situation. We cast all of our care on the
Lord. Why? For he careth for you. And what's
impossible for you and I is ease to him. We sung
about it. Move the immovable. Move the impossible.
What was some of that other? What's that other?
God we believe. Do you believe for it? Simple
request this morning. If you need God to move
anything, if you need God to take a mountain
down to part a Red Sea, stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord. Moses, what do you have
in your hand? Well, it's that rod you had me
pick up here a while back. Well, stretch it out.
And the scripture said, and God caused the wind
to begin to blow. Lord, I love you today. Lord,
you know each one of us.
