Here's your host, the ambassador of increase
Darren V.
I want to encourage your heart.
Many of you are walking through some challenging
times and seasons
and the devil was doing a head job
on you. And so we're gonna we're gonna
shine the light on the spirit of deception
of how he's deceiving a lot of good
hard.
I mean, really good hearted, well mean believers,
but they're tired, They're weary, the discouraged, distressed,
And so I just wanna breathe
just a a breath of hope into your
spirit man, you know, because you may be
like, if ec absence the 30 seventh chapter
says that, you know, that the valley of
dry bones, they... It didn't say it dry.
They would say very dry and dusted. Now,
you know, to say it were dry was
1 thing, but they say they're very dry.
You know, like, you could be dirty it,
but when you crust, that. That's a different
type of dirt. You know? So it talks
about how these loans were not just dry
in the valley, but they were very dry
and dusty.
And so, you know, he was trying to
illustrate to us that it was beyond hope.
And I don't know if your situation seems
like it's beyond hope beyond capacity, but it's
never beyond god's ability. A matter of fact,
I'm gonna just let you know that what
you're walking through the challenge to test the
trial, the surprise
situation, it doesn't take God by storm. Nothing
you encounter
takes him by surprise. Nothing you're experiencing calls
him to be concerned that he can't handle
what you're walking through. And so I just
want to take a little time tonight to
encourage your heart wherever you are, whatever you're
going through, whatever you're walking through,
because what it looks like is not what's
it's gonna be. I I'm... I'm a say
that again, what it looks like is not
what it's gonna be. And so the is
big plan and plot is to get you
to focus on the now that you won't
be prepared... Stop preparing for your future.
I'm a say it again. If you focus
so much on your now,
And it's not why are you supposed to
be able what you imagine what you, then
it tempt you to stop and preparing for
your future. Now, you know what they used
to have a candid call now and later.
Y'all might not be open up remember that.
But it was a candidate called. Now and
later. You know, if you focus on your
now,
and you stay stuck, you won't be prepared
for later.
And so what I wanna share with you
tonight is simply a topic. It's not a
full out word, but I get the response
of it, like I said or full out
word.
Want table what that word is it's word
called patients.
Patience. Now let me give you a hint.
Don't ever pray for patience. Listen to the
pastor. Yet. Don't pray for patient. You do
not have to pray for it. Because the
bible says the trying and the testing
of your faith is gonna work patience. Matter
fact, I'm wanna give you a scripture for
this.
James, the first chapter of the third and
4 it says knowing this that the trial
of your face works patience, but let patients
have her perfect work that you may be
perfect tired wanting, nothing.
I mean, you... I know you had to
hear that scripture before. So you don't have
to pray for patience. When you... Listen. If
you pray for patients trouble coming. And so
God allows in his good nature in his
goodwill in his infinite eye, he allows bad
things to happen to good people. So tonight,
we're literally gonna be talking about, why are
bad thing... Why did God let something bad
happen to you.
Did he lose? Did he did did he
lose control? Did he forget about... No. The
same god that has the hairs on your
head number? Is the same God that has
your circumstances and situations,
in his perfect eye.
And so a lot of times, god allows
situations that seems like you've been abandoned.
And if you had father issues of mother
issues, it's like, it just makes it worth
because now you feel emotionally abandoned, you already
deal with some other emotional issues. And so
what I wanna say tonight is that God
has not forgotten to but you, you gonna
find it out tonight. I wanna start with,
ec.
I'm sorry,
Gl galatians 6 and 9. Now you've heard
a description before, but I just wanna share
just wanna remind you what you already know
tonight. If fees
galatians,
6 and 9 says, and let us, that's
mean all of us,
be not weary and well doing
for in due season,
we shall reap if we faint not.
You've heard that before. I just wanna I
just wanna break it down a little bit.
Let us be not weary.
Weary... Where's is wearing his take place? Where
this takes place in the corridors of your
mind.
You see your mock mental
awareness will affect your physical body?
It in in it it it can... To
your mind, your body your soul they're all
inter integral. They're very close connected. You know,
So... But let us not be weary in
our mindset.
Right? Well, what the mind is the is
the gate where thoughts come through. Images come
through. So things... So I always look head
off. Neck up. So above your neck line
is your mouth, which you speak. Your nose,
what you smell, your eyes, what you see,
Your ears... Your ears what you hear. And
those are the the the the gates.
The gates to your mind, your soul, which
you see affects your mind, which you say
affects you, which you hear. Literally, there's an
actually an order,
what I I control what I hear, what
I see and what I say, what I
hear control and what I see controls what
I'm saying?
And so it says be not weary and
well doing. So if you're gonna be not
weary well doing, you're gonna have to protect
what you hear, protect what you see and
ultimately what you say. When you say it,
it already been processed from your hearing and
you're scene.
So when people sacred, this is why if,
if you hear me... If you hang around
anytime, you say, I'm sorry. You know, I'm...
I'm 9 times out of tell said, Queens
don't apologize.
You know? And if it's a king kings
don't apologize. And I get the under if
you may say I apologize, but it's...
Why am I saying? It's just to get
you a consciously aware that you're... You're if
you're you're the authority. You're the chosen 1.
Because sometimes we've been beating down so much
because I apologize. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I'm sorry.
You know?
I can remember a time to make it
very personal. My first wife was very wounded
emotionally.
And
would... I just had a habit it, I've
seen, I'm sorry. And I I got to,
you know, then when I Married here, She
said, you apologize a lot.
And say you know what I do her.
And I realized that my first wife
that because of her emotional wounded,
and I was always the the vic the
the the the was the ninth of vic
the the vic she was the victim. I
was the,
the
what do you call it? What's the word?
Not the victim, but the
I was I was the assailant.
How's was the bad guy? Right? Emotionally.
And so when you're married someone when you're
encouraged this covenant with someone, you can assimilate
that posture
and it will fix you. And I have
to realize that, wait, man. I don't to
keep apologize or something. Right?
Subconsciously.
So what is that sub conscious that you've
been doing in relationship because of someone else's
has wounded this.
You always apologized, You always gotta take the
law. Or sometimes you always have to have
the last word. I don't know. So be
not wearing well doing 4 in due season.
What is due season? Due season is a
set time?
When his due is time.
So if you're trying to... So he's saying
listen, don't give up until you... Until your
time has come. Hold on until that set
time's coming. Because there's is this time coming.
The bible says, also ec is there's a
time to sow and there's a time to
reap. A time to re a time to
die. There's a set time for everything. You
know, it says,
there's a time to soul a time to
reap. So it says as long as the
earth remains and that earth is still here.
I'm... Yeah. It's still here. There will be
seed
time and harvest, a time to soul a
time to wait and a time to to
harvest.
So you must realize that
if as... Along as the infancy here, there's
a law and motion.
There's the law of god. A law of
sowing and reaping. And so, listen, do not
give up
do not become discouraged do not become distracted
and until your due season and because he
says you will, you shall what reap.
If you faint not.
Being faint hearted, faint minded
is when you get weak. You start to
lose your your your you... It's like when
you faint you start to lose all your
faculties. You don't have a grip on things
like you used to. You become overwhelmed.
You know? So
is another 1 I wanna read. Hebrews brew
the sixth chapter the 12 first it says
that you be not slow for or lazy
But for of them who through faith in
patience and inherited promises. Oh, I love this
1. The... Let me tell... Oh, I gotta
read again. That you
don't be slow
or lazy,
but follow those who through faith in patients
inherited promises of god. So what what does
that mean?
Faith and patience, I call them the power
twins. Those them boys are bad.
Faith and patience so you could step out
in faith, but you gotta add to your
faith patience. Their twins.
See, faith will get you started, but your
patience are get you through.
And so a lot of us have stepped
out in faith, but we don't have the
patience to see the think through.
They're twins.
And so, you know, I I don't even
even know. I think it's a scripture
I don't know it says,
here it is. Yeah.
Second Peter the first chapter the fifth and
6 verse, it says,
And beside this giving all diligence add to
your faith virtue into your virtual knowledge into
your knowledge temper into your temper patience into
patient's god. You have to add on. See
some of us what we stepped out of
faith and we got discouraged.
See faces when God gives you a promise
that you step out faith on the promise,
but then as soon as he gives you
the promise, he gives you another p called
a process.
And that process is where you get processed.
You go through a process of endurance to
build stamina and character and capacity and to
develop new skill sets along with a new
mindset. And so somewhere along you get discouraged
in the process, even though you got a
promise, and then you never get to the
end, which is the present.
So, guys said, listen. I need you to
add to your faith. You stepped out and
afraid I walk this thing out, walking out
in patience.
You follow me. And so I I, you
know, I I am... I say this because
there's a lot of times where
you know,
I I'll just give... Like, I see this
me talk about myself, because that is
I knew myself better than you.
There's so many times I've stepped out in
faith, and it's like so discouraged when something
didn't work out.
God did I miss you? No. You didn't
miss me.
You... Actually, you don't review right on time.
But, I don't see the results.
Actually, I got attacked. Actually, I got discouraged.
I got all the things kinda away. Yep.
That's me.
You gotta understand,
if I say, do you guys know Meet
Ben?
Everybody was said they were the the heap
Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace,
but catch it. They were the Hebrew boards
that we know them from being the fiery
furnace,
We don't know them from
outside the fire furnace, you would no S
at Shaq and Bet going. Right? Would if
I say Daniel and Alliance then.
Outside the lion's dan, you may know Daniel
for have an excellent spirit, but we... He's
known for being in the lion's then because
that was his place to deliver. What I'm
trying to tell you is that without
without a goliath, there will be no king
David.
Your fight is for your future.
Your struggle is developing your strength.
You found it. And so wherever your struggle
is, that's the enemy finding you with God
used that to point you towards your area
of strength. My god my God my god.
And so we have to read... This is
why it says rejoice when you're tempted when
you go through to trials and test, because
literally, someone's being developed on the inside that's
gonna change everything on the outside.
You know what? Y'all know how I said,
when you're in a game is right, your
auto of game gonna be tight.
It's just a matter of time.
At literally a matter of time. Let do
not let time be your enemy. Let time
work for you see when you... Okay. Let's
just take it to... Let's just take it
to the arena of money and business. When
you... When you have money invested time as
your friend because you have money invested. If
you have no seat in the ground, time
is just time for you. Actually time working
against you, Todd will... If if when you
walk in investment minded as in in wealth,
Your money works for you
over time.
God, it's the seat of time. We were
talking that this morning on our men's call.
You know, if you... If you have... There's
a brother who's having a financial challenge. I
said, you don't have a money problem. You
have a time problem?
What do you mean, Darren? You know, you
see time is the... Is this... Time is
the secret sauce.
If when you have struggles managing your time,
you also have struggles managing your money.
Because God did not create money. God created
time for you to complete your purpose. See
time exists in the Womb of God.
He god does not need matter of fact.
When you get to heaven, there will be
no time.
Time exists only in the earth room. He
created time for man in the earth room
to measure. That's why it says as long
as the earth remains, there will be seed
time and harvest. Because outside the Earth this...
Gotta god need in. Gonna tell you something
else. When you don't need faith when you
go to heaven?
Why do you need faith to believe in
a god you're looking at?
You... What do you need faithful for? Time
and pray... I don't need that. I'm I'm
right there in his arms. Right? And so
I don't need time. So what... So what's
the point? You need faith for the earth
rim and you need time for the earth
rim.
He got... Remember, God gives you faith if...
You know, he gives you faith to change
your world.
It gives you time, faith and time. Those
are things that work for you if you
have knowledge. But if you don't, he says
my people, my children, whom I love or
destroying for what, lack of knowledge. They don't
have knowledge how to use time to make
it multiplied for them. So therefore they have...
There's distress, discouraged,
this third busted disgusted it.
You must recognize that your greatest asset is
the seed of time. You take time and
you invest it and let it work for
you over a period of time and give
you a reward.
So it doesn't matter whether it's money or
whatever. So this why we should teach our
young children our young children how to used
their time, investor time. You... Janet told us
that years ago, save some spend some invest
some. You save some time, you spend some
time and you invest some time. And then
she came up with a thing with the
the the money buckets. Save... Some spend some
invest some.
It's it's time.
Time is your greatest asset. I'm approved to
you. When your life is gone, you have
no more time?
When you wake up in the morning, he
says, at his mercy are new every everyday.
It's a it's a it's a gift more
time.
So I don't care... So the enemy's job
is to take the time you have and
get you to be discouraged or distracted with
the time you have.
Budget you're so discouraged. I'm so overwhelmed. You're
abusing the time you have.
Because all the time you have is now.
Tomorrow's now promise into more in in the
past is spent.
So all you have is now, take that
time, realize its value and say, I'm gonna
worked this. I'm gonna invest this. See god
God's call us to a seasonal of multiplication.
You were not... I'm must make a bold
right now. God is not a god of
addition.
He's got a multiplication. He only gives you
things to it he only adds so what
so he can multiply.
I'll prove it again.
There's god that you never heard about call
Noah.
He added. He said take 2 of every
kind. Why? Because I'm gonna want.
And so what has God given you that
is trying to get you to minimize it
to discouraged. Oh, I'm just small, or, I'm
not qualified.
Baby, all you need is too.
He said, 2 of you coming together touching
anything, I'll be there in the midst.
1 could put a thousand flight, but 2
could commit 10000. So just by connecting with
someone else in agreement I 10 times my
effort,
my results... Oh, that's multiplication, maybe all day.
So what is it that you're minimizing thinking
that you're not good enough. Strong enough fast
enough, educating enough. You don't have enough friends.
You don't have enough network. You don't have
enough.
Shut out.
You are more than enough.
All you need is 1 more person come
into agreement. And actually,
I told myself 1 day,
Well, you know, all I need is 1
more person, I have 3 people but came
in the agreement, me by myself and I.
But so if I if I get 1
more person outside of me to greet, my
god my god, the power of agreement. So
now we're talking about patience.
So I I wanna I wanna read the
description. Hebrews 10:36.
For you have need of patience that after
you've done the Will of god, you might
receive the promise. Oh my God. That's juicy.
That's that's some good stuff right there. You
put your name there, have needed patience that
after you... You've already done what God told
you to do. So there's something that is
saying that after you've done what God said,
you still have to walk through this thing
through... With patients so that you will receive
the promise.
Remember, I told you he gives you a
promise first, but he puts you through a
process where patience is activated.
C is not that your failure,
it's not that you're not successful. It's not
that you... It what it is is you
have to become who you need to be
before you can have what Promise you.
You need to be the person need to
be so you can have what you... What
what he promised you to have.
It's like our children. We don't give our
children, you know, their trust fund.
While they're living.
We don't give them we don't give them
a gun while they're 2 and 3. We
don't give them a car when they're 5.
We have to wait till they have the
capacity, the mindset, the maturity what's the same
with you. Guys not forgotten but you. At
last stop check, you can't skip from first
grade to twelfth grade,
it just because you love somebody.
There's a process.
We can't... So what... Let's talk about that.
Let's start extracting everything we can from the
process.
Oh my god. If you're gonna go through
it, make it work for you.
So listen, You mean, I gotta do this
time.
So I'm saying not... Don't approach it with,
oh, I gotta do this time. No. Let's
make time pay you.
What can you extract from the process that
you're walking through to say you know what
it's been good?
I'm trying to tell you ec,
Solomon says that when you... When when you
do the work your love, it's not considered
labor.
See when I'm doing what I love, I
get paid twice.
Because I'm doing what I love, plus...
Okay. Like, for example,
I love running my big mouth and meet
new people.
So if I get to do that and
get paid... I get paid twice because I
was having fun running my big mouth to
meet people anyway.
So what is it that you love doing
that you're passionate about that God's trying to
reward you? So
You have needed patience that after you've done
the will of god. You don't god's will,
but doesn't see my things working. Yep. No
something working it's something working on the inside.
Is we're is it's working on you that
you might receive the promise. 1 more.
I read this 1 when I'm ready, but
it's Mer. Knowing this a try of your
faith at patience, but let patients have a
per word, the team may be perfect and
tired wanting nothing. There's something about
patience, see, I'm a break it down.
The try or the testing of your faith
workspaces. So you all wanna stepped out in
faith, but now the patience have to be
tested. And the fate has to be testing,
which produces patients. But then let patients say
it didn't say let him have his program
let patients have her. Her means, she's gonna
produce something.
See you have to employ...
If employees something needs to hire somebody.
You know? So employ patients and let let
them work for you.
Put patients to work.
So, you know, and now, I wanna just
share with you guys that a lot of
times
over a failure or it's not working out.
Ours is taken too long? Well, how long
is too long?
Let let's check your... Let's check your skill
set. Have you learned your notes? Have you
developed your craft?
You know,
have you... Do you know your notes?
I mean, that's the season I'm in right
now, I'm very transparent. Guy saying, stop everything
and just know your notes, learn your craft,
learn your business in the inside and out.
Patience.
Patience is capacity
Patience is character.
Do you know your notes?
Are you skill?
Do you know your craft?
Or you fine tuning your craft?
If you're a speaker, do you know how
to speak only on virtual? Do you speak
in public? Do you know... Do you know
how to handle yourself on a podcast. Do
you know you hire a yourself in the
media. Well, take a bank. Take another minute.
Let's just say you're not a speaker. Let's
just say, you are a teacher unless she
say you are alone man. Do you only
cut grass you know, that is so many
inches Do you only cut a certain kind
grass? Or it see bible says,
in a great house, which is a synonymous
of the kingdom.
There are vessels of wood, clay
and gold.
Now you know the 1 that's most useful
is the 1 of gold because the goal
has been tried in the fire, but the
1 of wood, you know, it could break.
You know?
And so clay or, opposite clay pot were
brave?
So are you useful are you are you
just limited
See your usefulness is synonymous of how God
wants to use you. See...
Oh, you are all weather person?
Sometime
Or do we do we have to have
everything right for you to function?
So God is saying listen.
Slow your old. There's something you're not seeing
This causing you to be weary,
discouraged,
distracted, the late stop and
what are you not? I am God, and
I have not forgotten you. So if I
haven't forgotten you, I could just wake my
eye and everything will be perfect while I
haven't Not done that. Because I... I don't
want you to miss it. I don't want
you to miss how to relate to people.
Do you know how to... You having challenges
on your job. Couldn't it be possible that
I don't want you off that job but
until you learn how to work with difficult
people? Because you got have to work with
difficult people when I send you an assignment?
You guys I don't know if you remember
there's there's used to be a Evangelist world
Famous fan Billy Graham. I don't know if
you guys ever heard of Billy cam. Billy
like Graham did something amazing. I, I was
reading in a book.
When he had a crusade, his crusade were
very famous.
When he had a crew crusade, he was
sent in a crew
of people 1 year in advance to establish
relationships.
Before it was time for him to do
his life crusade. Amazing
wisdom.
1 year in advance.
He didn't just say, okay. Today, we're gonna
do... We gonna write a book. But today,
we're gonna do a start business. No No.
No.
He invested a whole year
so that when the time came from that
he his event did relations he had structure
he had support.
Who was your support system?
What relationships do you have? Relationship is how
wealth is transferred?
Relationships allow you to be in the flourish
all that god called you to be? But
the person is, where have you invested a
year or 2 into a certain arena?
Devil is trying to play tricks us and
tell you failing. No. You're not failing.
If you're breathing you successful,
because you're a magnifying god because he made
you only god can give a life.
The devil can't breathe on you make you
live.
So when you wake up new that you're
a winner, you didn't wake up knowing a
god's giving you more time, more grace, more
capacity. He's increasing your ability the eyes of
your understanding being in enlightened. You wake up
morning. I told you 1 time I went
to the mall with my wife and she
had to go try something on.
And when she came back, I said,
woman. You got a new husband to look
at me? Because by time you when that
dressing room came out, I got wiser. I
got smarter.
You got a new husband. Right? So when
you wake up in the morning know that
you're reporting for duty in the in the
hounds of hell are of of set because
you kept showing up. You keep showing up.
That's the problem. You keep showing up, and
that is a problem for hell.
You just won't quit. The greatest ones on
the inside of us. The spirit of God
is the yeast of God. And the last
I take. I'm not a baker, but when
you put heat on yeast in rises,
the yeast of God is inside of you,
the spirit of god. The greater 1 is
on the inside of you.
So stop wanting, stop complaining. Stop... Put you
violin up owe me on my. You're not
the only 1 going through this. You certainly
won't be the last And let me tell
you if you're a speaker author Coach consultant
an entrepreneur passed to speak and really doesn't
matter.
They're upset course for you. And walk this
thing out. So let me tell. I always
say it like this. Get get get the
hard stuff done first.
So things could be easier.
But if you do the easy stuff, you
still have to face that hard thing.
Either way is gonna be hard when you
do it first and last. So I'm like,
okay. Let's get Let's get let's do it.
Let's get it. Put the work in,
do your due diligence,
the bible says and Proverbs 22 and 20
19 says the hand of the diligent share
bear room.
I think he's 22 29.
The handle of diligent Share be, See style
a man that is diligent in his business,
patient in his business,
careful attention to detail, he shall stand before
kings and not me mean men? What does
it mean? When you diligent your business,
careful attention to detail static plotting. Day even
day out you shall stand before kings. What
does mean to stand before Kings. Kings are
men of influence and influence.
And so you know that you've been promoted
when you serve kings?
How many kings do you serve?
You've not serving kings you got some work
to do.
Matter of fact, the reason why we call
that celebrity endorsement or your ideal client some
whatever.
The only reason you serve kings is for
basic it for leverage to say, okay. I've
done this for such such such and such.
But he that's... His diligent in his business
show stand before Kings and not mean man.
What mean men, of obscurity.
Mean that don't have the capacity to bless
you.
See who you serve determines your warrant?
And so what am I saying right now?
Let's wrap this off. You need to be
preparing now for next.
You need to be preparing for next. I
think would do me a shirt saying, I'm
next.
I'm next.
And so if where you at right now
is what you don't...
You didn't envision or workout promise you? Need
to be pushing. You need to be pressing
because you know that this is not it.
There's a great day, better day coming. There's
more a portion for me.
So if you stop right now, you stop
pushing and pressing, you you're not gonna get
or upper when he promised you, the promise
didn't change, you change.
Why would God bless you now
with more? And he doesn't have your attention
on this level.
You're not excellent on this level. So why
would he give you more to mess up.
He want whatever constitutes sees order he brings
increase. Oh my god. That's good. Whatever god
sees order, he brings increase.
It's the spirit of order. So when... Okay.
I'm gonna change another word. Whatever guy sees
management, good management, good stewardship, he brings inquiries.
The Bible even said that wouldn't... There was
a time where he wouldn't let the rain
call fall on the earth because it would
cause growth in vegetation because there was no
man to manage the the the the fruition.
So could it be possible that God is
limiting your growth,
limiting your phantom of your business, your dream,
your go eye because you're not ready or
able to handle what is the vegetation or
the fruition or the
that's gonna come as a result of it.
So I'm like, god.
It's okay, Lord. I got it. I'm not
Rushing.
I mean, I'm taking my time,
not learning my notes,
and I feel empowered. It is a process.
It doesn't come. But I'm becoming
Guys. Test this, you're becoming is more than
your arrival.
Oh my god. That's good. You're... What... Who
you're becoming is more important than your arrival.
I'm becoming smarter. I'm becoming wiser. I'm because
I'm becoming more diligent. I'm becoming more discerning.
I'm becoming more pace I'm bit more patient
I'm becoming more diligent. I'm becoming more powerful.
I'm becoming... I'm becoming
in his sweet.
I'm enjoying the hell of this process
And the problem is for the enemy and
everybody who's the each of the enemy, See
Paul says,
I've come to a plate where I'm content
and see what I'm content though. I didn't
say I was satisfied. That's what keeps me
pressured.
Pressing. But when I'm content, I'm good. No
problem.
I... When I'm content, it doesn't matter what
the score says, it doesn't matter what the
checkbook is. Doesn't matter what my network is.
It really doesn't matter because I'm content him.
If the bible puts a this 1.
God
with contentment is what, great game.
See when you continue you already full.
The Bible says you're fulfilled
when you the... It it says in in
improperly says, the man who's 4 is not
tip to eat.
It's like when a wife says she... Her
husband's always
full. He never wants to eat. He's eating
somewhat way baby girl. He's eating somewhere. The
man always full. He's either eating somewhere else
or he's telling you your food is next
thing, but he's eating somewhere. Can he's gotta
eat. Right? So When you're full with Christ,
I don't have no... Not tipping with certain
because I'm already full. I'm already satisfied. Right?
Sort of place of contentment. So, father, we
thank for the spirit of contentment and peace
to our minds right now. Thinking all that
we are this... We've decided right now, to
walk the walk and talk the talk. We're
gonna extract every good thing we can for
where you have us because you know exactly
where we are.
We haven't lost mute, We're not off your
radar,
you got Holy ghost Gps, you know exactly
where we are. And because you know where
we are. You're feeding us where we are.
You're giving us grace and capacity and drawing
us up, and we thank you for your
patience toward us, your loving kindness waters us.
As better than life itself, thinking that you're
giving us grace
for the race. You're giving us a new
capacity to handle what used to upset us.
You accent you're allowing us to to move
in areas that we never moved in before.
We're go into new territories.
New places and new spaces God. We thank
you for increasing our ability to handle pressure,
like we never handle before. We're gonna stop
wanting complaining when we're gonna stop mining
and digging deep within ourselves to see the
riches that you've invested in us.
In the mighty name of Jesus? We thank
you, 8 amen and amen.
Do you guys receive that word?
That's what I've been walking to.
There's a lot of things that were not
happen the way I wanted them to.
And he he said, oh, so I go
to god. And he doesn't answer me.
You know, Paul said, I sought the lord
price.
And when I saw the law arthritis, you
didn't me.
Like, what's up Got you but I thought
that was your guy. Right?
You said I saw lot 3 times and
he's in the answer him he said, my
grace is sufficient. My great... God's braces is
an enable, his strength his capacity. So he's
showing you grace in some area even though
he's see... What I'm trying to tell you
is sometime God doesn't change the situation, he
changes you.
What do you need to change your perspective,
you know, losing. You're growing.
You know, I I sure just... Share this
example what you guys The play some many
tricks on you.
He'll... You you... You you're down. He's throwing
dirt on yet. He's throwing dirt on yet.
And you praying, and the more you pray,
it looks like the more dirt the enemy's
trolls on you. Right?
It's like, and I like, god, where are
you? They throwing dirt on me. You... They
bear me alive. This
depression. The obviously was the job, the money.
The cares my health. It's like, they're throwing
dirt on me. You you bury me alive.
God you you don't see this.
You know, they're bearing me alive. And he
says son, they weren't bearing alive.
They were not bearing alive. I was planting
you.
Guy I was... They thought they were bearing
gas health plan you.
And see when you go to a planning,
there's gonna be a season of the why
this deaf darkness,
See the tomb is dark just like the
moon.
It's all about your expectation.
See, marks the difference between the 2 the
womb is that in the tune, we don't
we don't expect nobody to come out that
too.
But in the womb, we expect a birth
a baby that God, right? In the image
of god, let somebody come out the tube
on a cast
but gonna be a empty funeral home. I
promise you.
It's about your ex... I expect to come
listen.
I expect to come out of this. That's
why I push. That's why I pray. That's
why I press.
I'm forward March
ready for duty.
In place,
steady as you go, diligent,
consistent, faithful,
ongoing.
Yes.
Not known.
I'm the head and not the tail. I'm
above only and not beneath.
On top and going higher.
Always abounding in his grace. I'm deeply beloved
highly favored.
And I can do all things. Do pricing
strip me. I'm a bad dude. You gotta
talk to yourself like that. Because I don't
know it you can't count nobody else to
do that for you. You got to fall
in love with yourself and realize that's yourself,
and get yourself together yourself.
You can hear yourself? I'm talking to you
They said, you know, and sometimes,
do you talk... Not I don't do I
talk to myself. I answer myself. I said
to myself darren It's gonna be a good
day.
I stop telling myself, have a good day.
No. I'm gonna make it a good day.
I am controlling my destiny... If I have
faithful thing, he said I could have a
thing.
Anyway,
I pray you received the word of the
lord. It's encouraging me. It's been keeping me.
It's been comforting me. Do some challenging times
because the Em doesn't play there.
So
