(Theme Song) ? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:01.46\00:00:12.00
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:00:12.00\00:00:19.23
(Music) PB: My best worship
00:00:19.23\00:00:26.20
is before I even get to church.
00:00:26.20\00:00:30.33
Because see, some of you
all are too quick up in here.
00:00:30.33\00:00:32.63
You've got other stuff to do.
00:00:32.63\00:00:34.50
You want church to hurry
up, get this over here, get that
00:00:34.50\00:00:36.63
over there.
00:00:36.63\00:00:37.33
But when I've got real issues,
I have to lay in a state of
00:00:37.33\00:00:43.23
worship and sometimes when I'm
driving down the road and I'm
00:00:43.23\00:00:48.43
not finished with my worship
yet, sometimes when I've got
00:00:48.43\00:00:52.16
tears in the corners of my
eyes I'm not through yet, and
00:00:52.16\00:00:54.86
sometimes I'll be in the
shower and I'll be calling on
00:00:54.86\00:00:59.33
the name of the Lord.
00:00:59.33\00:01:00.83
And I'm still worshipping God
because I need God more today
00:01:00.83\00:01:06.00
than I've ever needed
him before in my life.
00:01:06.00\00:01:08.56
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:01:08.56\00:01:11.43
Somebody knows
what I'm talking about.
00:01:11.43\00:01:15.00
Sometimes you've got
to call him on your job.
00:01:15.00\00:01:19.50
Your coworkers
wonder where you're going.
00:01:19.50\00:01:22.10
You slip into a
room by yourself.
00:01:22.10\00:01:24.46
You slip into an office, slip
into a closet, maybe slip into
00:01:24.46\00:01:27.26
the bathroom, hey, and say,
Lord, I'm going in this stall
00:01:27.26\00:01:31.20
because I need to make
contact with you today.
00:01:31.20\00:01:34.26
Not tomorrow, not
next week, but today.
00:01:34.26\00:01:36.43
I don't need drums, I don't
need an organ, I don't need a
00:01:36.43\00:01:40.20
praise team, I don't need
choirs, I don't need preaching
00:01:40.20\00:01:42.70
in order for me to worship
God, I don't even have to
00:01:42.70\00:01:45.66
carry a tune, not
in my certain place.
00:01:45.66\00:01:50.53
Not in my
sanctuary, my inner sanctuary.
00:01:50.53\00:01:53.63
I don't need the
latest gospel song.
00:01:53.63\00:01:56.40
You all don't know, I'm a
song writer in and of myself.
00:01:56.40\00:01:59.23
I'll make up a song.
00:01:59.23\00:02:01.60
I'll be walking
through Berean making up songs.
00:02:01.60\00:02:04.70
? (sings) You healed me
before, ? you healed me again. ?
00:02:04.70\00:02:08.80
? When I think about what you
? ? did for me way back then. ?
00:02:08.80\00:02:12.50
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:02:12.50\00:02:15.13
I'll even wrap it up, ?
(sings) praise the Lord. ?
00:02:15.13\00:02:18.36
For goodness sake, ? ?
we're all going to take a ?
00:02:18.36\00:02:20.50
? Bible break. ? You
all hear what I'm saying.
00:02:20.50\00:02:22.80
I'll whoop it up when I think
of the goodness of Jesus and
00:02:22.80\00:02:27.93
all he's done for me.
00:02:27.93\00:02:34.80
Because there's
this certain place.
00:02:34.80\00:02:39.63
You have this place of sanctity.
00:02:39.63\00:02:42.70
You don't let your
weakness get in the way of your
00:02:42.70\00:02:44.90
sanctity.
00:02:44.90\00:02:46.23
You don't let carnality get
in the way of your sanctity.
00:02:46.23\00:02:50.46
You don't let addictions or
habits or drugs get in the way
00:02:50.46\00:02:55.13
of your spot.
00:02:55.13\00:02:56.76
Devil yes, I've got issues,
but the issues don't have me.
00:02:56.76\00:03:00.86
I'm not going to let
that thing get inside of me,
00:03:00.86\00:03:04.86
because this place,
this temple belongs to God.
00:03:04.86\00:03:08.90
It is a place of sanctity, a
place of holiness where you go
00:03:08.90\00:03:13.16
to God alone and you
don't mind being alone with God.
00:03:13.16\00:03:17.66
I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the
00:03:17.66\00:03:21.36
roses because sometimes
you don't want everybody else
00:03:21.36\00:03:25.26
around you, because it's
you and God at your place.
00:03:25.26\00:03:30.66
Maybe you're in your back
yard walking around and you're
00:03:30.66\00:03:36.23
walking around in circles, the
neighbor's looking at you like
00:03:36.23\00:03:39.13
you've lost your mind.
00:03:39.13\00:03:40.93
If they saw you they would
think you were crazy because
00:03:40.93\00:03:42.76
they can't see anybody
in the back yard but you.
00:03:42.76\00:03:45.83
But you're in the back yard,
releasing all of your cares,
00:03:45.83\00:03:50.80
all of your burdens, all of
your issues for that specific
00:03:50.80\00:03:54.26
time, specific situation, that
specific place, because it's
00:03:54.26\00:03:58.66
your place, your place with God.
00:03:58.66\00:04:01.66
I'll be honest.
00:04:01.66\00:04:02.26
I don't see much of that today.
00:04:02.26\00:04:04.33
I see a lot of people come
to church trying to benefit from
00:04:04.33\00:04:07.40
people who have a place.
00:04:07.40\00:04:09.46
They go to church to hear
somebody preach who's been
00:04:09.46\00:04:15.16
with Jesus.
00:04:15.16\00:04:16.63
They go to hear somebody
else sing who's been with Jesus.
00:04:16.63\00:04:19.40
But it used to be that you'd
been with Jesus for yourself
00:04:19.40\00:04:23.73
and if nobody's sang, if
nobody preaches, you could
00:04:23.73\00:04:28.30
still get blessed because
you enter into his gates with
00:04:28.30\00:04:32.73
thanksgiving, you came
into his court with praise, you
00:04:32.73\00:04:36.93
were thankful unto him
and you blessed his name.
00:04:36.93\00:04:42.36
I'm going to be
real with you all.
00:04:42.36\00:04:44.03
I praise God for the
large fellowship and the growing
00:04:44.03\00:04:45.93
fellowship we have, but let
me be honest, I don't have to
00:04:45.93\00:04:48.33
have anybody in
here to have church.
00:04:48.33\00:04:52.43
Not one of you.
00:04:52.43\00:04:54.53
Everyone can leave.
00:04:54.53\00:04:55.16
Me and the Lord.
00:04:55.16\00:04:56.56
I can get happy all by myself.
00:04:56.56\00:04:58.10
Jump up and down.
00:04:58.10\00:05:00.96
Don't have to worry
about you all being critical.
00:05:00.96\00:05:02.76
I can dance on God's pulpit.
00:05:02.76\00:05:05.26
I can start crying, start
shouting, start saying Amen,
00:05:05.26\00:05:07.93
start clapping my hands, start
singing, start praising, all
00:05:07.93\00:05:10.36
by myself.
00:05:10.36\00:05:13.40
You'll walk in church going,
what's wrong with Pastor Byrd?
00:05:13.40\00:05:15.26
Oh, he's just praising God.
00:05:15.26\00:05:16.60
In an insane world you
need a place, an inner place, a
00:05:16.60\00:05:23.23
sanctity.
00:05:23.23\00:05:24.83
It can't be bought.
00:05:24.83\00:05:27.30
And praise and worship and
this place of sanctity is not
00:05:27.30\00:05:30.23
for sale.
00:05:30.23\00:05:32.23
A place that has
nothing to do with money.
00:05:32.23\00:05:34.93
It's exclusively
God's and you must learn to
00:05:34.93\00:05:37.26
protect that place.
00:05:37.26\00:05:38.96
You don't let anybody
sweet talk you into that spot,
00:05:38.96\00:05:42.76
because, guess what, they're
going to leave you, they're
00:05:42.76\00:05:45.23
going to disappoint you, but
Jesus said, I will never leave
00:05:45.23\00:05:48.16
nor forsake you.
00:05:48.16\00:05:49.86
I know you don't think
somebody, they're going to
00:05:49.86\00:05:51.63
leave you, but keep on living.
00:05:51.63\00:05:53.76
You'll find
out, they will leave.
00:05:53.76\00:05:56.20
Johnny will leave.
00:05:56.20\00:05:57.66
Mary will leave.
00:05:57.66\00:05:59.40
You have to have
a place of sanctity.
00:05:59.40\00:06:01.40
Say sanctity, everybody.
00:06:01.40\00:06:03.33
You don't let anybody
or anything in that spot.
00:06:03.33\00:06:05.43
No bills, no worries, no
stress, no mess, no kids,
00:06:05.43\00:06:07.80
no job, nothing.
00:06:07.80\00:06:09.86
That is God's place.
00:06:09.86\00:06:11.70
Lord, prepare me to be a
sanctuary, pure and holy,
00:06:11.70\00:06:19.70
tried and true,
with thanksgiving.
00:06:19.70\00:06:26.20
I'll be a living
sanctuary, Lord, just for you.
00:06:26.20\00:06:34.36
Number two, you need
a place of sacrifice.
00:06:34.36\00:06:39.30
Everybody say sacrifice.
00:06:39.30\00:06:41.53
Now, I know it's not
popular to talk about
00:06:41.53\00:06:43.96
sacrifice anymore.
00:06:43.96\00:06:44.60
It's more popular
to talk about success.
00:06:44.60\00:06:46.83
Nobody wants to talk about
sacrifice but you can't have
00:06:46.83\00:06:48.83
success without sacrifice.
00:06:48.83\00:06:51.46
Preach, Pastor Byrd,
I'm doing the best I can.
00:06:51.46\00:06:55.33
That's what's
wrong with people today.
00:06:55.33\00:06:56.96
Do you understand?
00:06:56.96\00:06:57.80
Ms. Palmer, Mr. Womack, they
didn't get where they are just
00:06:57.80\00:07:01.36
by success, there
was some sacrifice.
00:07:01.36\00:07:04.36
That's what's wrong
with people today, they want
00:07:04.36\00:07:06.50
success without sacrifice.
00:07:06.50\00:07:09.03
They want to hobo in on
what somebody else has got.
00:07:09.03\00:07:11.90
Their name is Jimmy
and they want you to gimme.
00:07:11.90\00:07:14.16
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:07:14.16\00:07:16.23
But it doesn't work that way.
00:07:16.23\00:07:19.70
You've got to have
some sacrifice along
00:07:19.70\00:07:24.53
with your success.
00:07:24.53\00:07:26.36
You have to give up something.
00:07:26.36\00:07:29.20
You can't snatch what God
has for you while you're sitting
00:07:29.20\00:07:33.20
holding on to what
you did for yourself.
00:07:33.20\00:07:36.93
You've got to let go a few
things so you can lay hold on
00:07:36.93\00:07:38.93
some more things.
00:07:38.93\00:07:41.20
If there's anything in your
life that you're holding onto
00:07:41.20\00:07:42.83
that's greater than God,
you've got to get rid of it.
00:07:42.83\00:07:45.23
Cast down everything you're
holding onto, pull it off,
00:07:45.23\00:07:47.50
take it off, get rid of it,
because God is getting ready
00:07:47.50\00:07:49.46
to pour you out a blessing,
that you won't have room
00:07:49.46\00:07:52.63
enough to receive it, so you
have to let go of something so
00:07:52.63\00:07:54.83
you can lay hold on something.
00:07:54.83\00:07:56.86
Friends of mine,
it's called a sacrifice.
00:07:56.86\00:08:00.86
But we've raised a generation
of people, a generation of
00:08:00.86\00:08:04.06
young people who don't
know anything about sacrifice.
00:08:04.06\00:08:08.20
And that's why we're
failing, because no sacrifice
00:08:08.20\00:08:12.70
means no success.
00:08:12.70\00:08:14.53
I loved it when the president
of our country, President and
00:08:14.53\00:08:16.76
Mrs. Obama said, even
after Sasha and Malia get in the
00:08:16.76\00:08:19.63
White House they will
still make their beds.
00:08:19.63\00:08:23.50
Sacrifice.
00:08:23.50\00:08:25.46
Guess what?
00:08:25.46\00:08:26.63
Sometimes little
Johnny needs to go to school.
00:08:26.63\00:08:30.30
Mama, but I still have my cold.
00:08:30.30\00:08:32.26
Get a band-aid, put
it on, now go to school.
00:08:32.26\00:08:35.00
See you at three o'clock.
00:08:35.00\00:08:35.63
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:08:35.63\00:08:37.50
I'm contemporary but I'm
still a little old school.
00:08:37.50\00:08:39.70
Back in the
days they raised you.
00:08:39.70\00:08:41.73
My daddy raised my brother and
I with a strong work ethic and
00:08:41.73\00:08:44.36
he raised us to be tough.
00:08:44.36\00:08:46.13
You don't wimp
out on everything.
00:08:46.13\00:08:50.26
Just because something
doesn't go your way, you don't
00:08:50.26\00:08:52.20
give up and give out.
00:08:52.20\00:08:54.00
But now we're raising
people and especially our
00:08:54.00\00:08:57.33
young men to fail.
00:08:57.33\00:08:59.23
Oh, you all
hear what I'm saying.
00:08:59.23\00:09:01.43
It's Valentine's weekend.
00:09:01.43\00:09:02.43
Before the man got married
in the Garden of Eden, God gave
00:09:02.43\00:09:04.73
him a job.
00:09:04.73\00:09:05.70
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:09:05.70\00:09:09.10
Before Adam married
Eve, God gave him a job.
00:09:09.10\00:09:12.06
He was caretaker of the Garden.
00:09:12.06\00:09:13.70
Are you hearing what I'm saying.
00:09:13.70\00:09:14.76
We've got to raise
our young men to be tough.
00:09:14.76\00:09:18.16
Pants sagging off
here thinking you tough.
00:09:18.16\00:09:22.00
That ain't tough, go
get a job, that's tough.
00:09:22.00\00:09:27.23
Mommy, I don't feel good.
00:09:27.23\00:09:28.90
Something's on my mind.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.93
Well, baby, just stay
home until you get over it.
00:09:30.93\00:09:32.80
No, get up and get
yourself to school.
00:09:32.80\00:09:35.60
Goodbye.
00:09:35.60\00:09:37.06
Here's some
oatmeal, take a cookie.
00:09:37.06\00:09:39.13
Get a piece of fruit and
there's a water fountain at
00:09:39.13\00:09:41.23
the school.
00:09:41.23\00:09:41.86
Goodbye.
00:09:41.86\00:09:43.70
Sometimes you have to sacrifice.
00:09:43.70\00:09:46.93
In life there are good
days and there are bad days, and
00:09:46.93\00:09:51.06
sometimes you have to endure
some things, some tough things
00:09:51.06\00:09:55.13
and sacrifice.
00:09:55.13\00:09:57.60
Talk about
learning how to sacrifice.
00:09:57.60\00:10:00.40
Well, you have to
have a certain place.
00:10:00.40\00:10:03.56
You have to
have a praying place.
00:10:03.56\00:10:06.53
You have to be tough.
00:10:06.53\00:10:07.16
Instead of telling everything
to everybody, you have to go
00:10:07.16\00:10:08.93
into your secret closet and
you have to say, Lord, I know
00:10:08.93\00:10:12.13
you didn't bring me
this far to leave me.
00:10:12.13\00:10:15.10
Lord, I know that I know
that I know that you've got
00:10:15.10\00:10:18.50
something with my name written
all over it, but while I'm
00:10:18.50\00:10:22.86
waiting, help me
to renew my strength.
00:10:22.86\00:10:27.20
Because one day the wicked
will cease from troubling and
00:10:27.20\00:10:30.23
the weary will be at rest.
00:10:30.23\00:10:32.63
A place of sacrifice.
00:10:32.63\00:10:35.23
You give up something to get
something, but some folk don't
00:10:35.23\00:10:36.90
want to make any sacrifices.
00:10:36.90\00:10:40.20
We're going to the home now.
00:10:40.20\00:10:41.60
Momma and Daddy can't
compromise about anything.
00:10:41.60\00:10:45.53
I left her
because she can't cook.
00:10:45.53\00:10:49.03
I left her because
her hair is coming out.
00:10:49.03\00:10:51.40
Go get her some
weave and keep on going.
00:10:51.40\00:10:53.23
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:10:53.23\00:10:55.23
I left him because
his hair is coming out.
00:10:55.23\00:10:57.26
Buy him some
Rogaine and keep it moving.
00:10:57.26\00:10:59.76
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:10:59.76\00:11:01.50
No sacrifice.
00:11:01.50\00:11:05.23
We've compromised on anything.
00:11:05.23\00:11:06.76
But you'll have success.
00:11:06.76\00:11:10.86
People looking around,
seeing who, without sacrifice.
00:11:10.86\00:11:16.16
I'm leaving him
because he lost his job.
00:11:16.16\00:11:17.73
Well, you know what, quit
talking about him losing his
00:11:17.73\00:11:19.53
job.
00:11:19.53\00:11:20.50
Take him on a job search.
00:11:20.50\00:11:21.90
But come on, baby, I know
you've been knocked down but
00:11:21.90\00:11:24.53
we're going to get up again.
00:11:24.53\00:11:26.26
I've got your back.
00:11:26.26\00:11:27.46
I believe in God for you.
00:11:27.46\00:11:29.90
I pressed your shirt, here's
a tie, let's get up out of here.
00:11:29.90\00:11:32.40
We're not going
to wallow in this.
00:11:32.40\00:11:34.60
I anoint you with
oil in the name of Jesus.
00:11:34.60\00:11:37.30
We're going to get a
job in the name of Jesus.
00:11:37.30\00:11:40.50
Sacrifice.
00:11:40.50\00:11:44.40
You need somebody.
00:11:44.40\00:11:45.86
Listen to me.
00:11:45.86\00:11:46.33
All these folk getting married.
00:11:46.33\00:11:47.36
You need somebody who is going
to be with you in the good and
00:11:47.36\00:11:49.16
the bad.
00:11:49.16\00:11:50.73
The ups and the downs,
the right and the wrong.
00:11:50.73\00:11:53.26
Sacrifice.
00:11:53.26\00:11:54.20
How can you have sacrifice?
00:11:54.20\00:11:55.63
You've got to
have a certain place.
00:11:55.63\00:11:59.40
A place where you can
take it to God in prayer.
00:11:59.40\00:12:02.80
Parents, you've got to
pray your kids off those crazy
00:12:02.80\00:12:04.76
drugs.
00:12:04.76\00:12:06.60
Pray them out of the streets.
00:12:06.60\00:12:08.26
Pray them out, don't fuss them
out, don't cuss them out, pray
00:12:08.26\00:12:10.66
them out.
00:12:10.66\00:12:12.10
And do a hardness of
the good godly soldier.
00:12:12.10\00:12:14.93
The way you sacrifice is
you have to have a place of
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.73
prayer.
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.36
People don't want to sacrifice.
00:12:19.36\00:12:20.76
Run up to me.
00:12:20.76\00:12:21.80
Pastor Byrd,
you've got it going on.
00:12:21.80\00:12:23.80
I want your anointing.
00:12:23.80\00:12:25.63
Lay hands on me.
00:12:25.63\00:12:26.73
(laughter) I need a job.
00:12:26.73\00:12:33.96
God blessing you.
00:12:33.96\00:12:34.70
Some folk I can lay my hands
on them until my handprints
00:12:34.70\00:12:41.56
were in their forehead and
you still wouldn't get anything
00:12:41.56\00:12:45.90
until you're
willing to sacrifice.
00:12:45.90\00:12:51.83
Until you go
through what I go through.
00:12:51.83\00:12:54.96
Suffer, like I suffered.
00:12:54.96\00:12:57.36
Did without when I did without.
00:12:57.36\00:13:00.93
Cried like I cried.
00:13:00.93\00:13:02.66
Endured when I
endured like I endured.
00:13:02.66\00:13:05.40
The Bible says, after you're
suffered a while, then will I
00:13:05.40\00:13:08.20
establish you, I will settle
you, I will make you perfect.
00:13:08.20\00:13:12.80
I can't give you something
it took me 20 years of crawling
00:13:12.80\00:13:16.06
across the floor to get
and you want it in two minutes.
00:13:16.06\00:13:20.53
The devil is lie.
00:13:20.53\00:13:23.13
You've got to sacrifice.
00:13:23.13\00:13:25.83
I've learned in
my walk with God.
00:13:25.83\00:13:27.30
I've come to almost 17
years now I'm pastoring.
00:13:27.30\00:13:29.80
I've learned, you still
have to preach even when your
00:13:29.80\00:13:33.06
feelings are hurt.
00:13:33.06\00:13:35.36
You've go to preach
when your heart is broken.
00:13:35.36\00:13:40.63
You've got to still preach
even when you feel you have
00:13:40.63\00:13:43.53
not a friend in the world.
00:13:43.53\00:13:44.50
You've got to preach
when you're grief stricken.
00:13:44.50\00:13:47.00
After you've proven yourself
to be faithful, then the
00:13:47.00\00:13:51.13
anointing of the Holy
Ghost will fall on you.
00:13:51.13\00:13:53.33
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:13:54.40\00:13:56.56
Let me tell you all something.
00:13:56.56\00:13:57.16
All this light, camera
and action, I went through
00:13:57.16\00:13:59.53
something to get all this.
00:13:59.53\00:14:03.20
That's how somebody
else, you got that house.
00:14:03.20\00:14:04.73
You sacrificed.
00:14:04.73\00:14:06.23
You're driving that car
now because you sacrificed.
00:14:06.23\00:14:08.63
Somebody in here bought a
house you couldn't pay to put
00:14:08.63\00:14:10.60
any furniture in it.
00:14:10.60\00:14:11.66
You sacrificed.
00:14:11.66\00:14:12.73
You slept on a cot in the
back room until you could do
00:14:12.73\00:14:15.26
better.
00:14:15.26\00:14:16.06
Help me, Holy Ghost.
00:14:16.06\00:14:17.96
Give me some folk who
don't mind sacrifices.
00:14:17.96\00:14:20.76
I am sick of all these
cutie-pie, Johnny-come-lately
00:14:20.76\00:14:24.70
folk who need somebody
who can take something.
00:14:24.70\00:14:28.40
We need, however, somebody who
can take a licking but keep on
00:14:28.40\00:14:31.00
ticking.
00:14:31.00\00:14:32.13
Am I preaching to
anybody up in this place today?
00:14:32.13\00:14:35.20
The symbol of Christianity
is not a crown it's a cross.
00:14:35.20\00:14:41.43
Doesn't that give you a clue?
00:14:41.43\00:14:43.06
Doesn't that give you a hint?
00:14:43.06\00:14:44.56
Christ is saying,
you must sacrifice.
00:14:44.56\00:14:48.73
Guess what?
00:14:48.73\00:14:50.50
You don't get to be
happy every day, and remember,
00:14:50.50\00:14:52.70
there's a difference
between happiness and joy.
00:14:52.70\00:14:55.33
Happiness is when
somebody gives you flowers.
00:14:55.33\00:14:57.56
If nobody gives me flowers,
I've still got joy because
00:14:57.56\00:14:59.00
I've got Jesus.
00:14:59.00\00:15:01.46
There are some things
I'm learning in my life.
00:15:01.46\00:15:04.40
There are some things
you learn by being miserable.
00:15:04.40\00:15:10.06
That's heavy.
00:15:10.06\00:15:12.26
You can't learn it
all the time being happy.
00:15:12.26\00:15:14.63
I think I've got a
witness in this place.
00:15:14.63\00:15:16.46
You've got to learn it while
folk are lying on you, talking
00:15:16.46\00:15:19.40
about you,
stabbing you in your back.
00:15:19.40\00:15:24.16
That's how you learn.
00:15:24.16\00:15:25.70
That is God before you.
00:15:25.70\00:15:28.86
He's more than
the world against you.
00:15:28.86\00:15:32.80
Sacrifice.
00:15:32.80\00:15:35.53
Work here six months,
work over there six months,
00:15:35.53\00:15:42.13
work over there six months.
00:15:42.13\00:15:43.60
Something's wrong
with everybody else.
00:15:43.60\00:15:44.76
No, something's wrong with you.
00:15:44.76\00:15:47.53
You don't have a place.
00:15:47.53\00:15:50.60
You don't have a
place of sacrifice.
00:15:50.60\00:15:53.63
Somebody's
saying, no I don't like,
00:15:53.63\00:15:54.70
Making these hamburgers.
00:15:54.70\00:15:56.73
I don't like
making these hamburgers.
00:15:56.73\00:15:59.43
And I give respect to
somebody's who got a J-O-B
00:15:59.43\00:16:01.76
even if they're
making hamburgers.
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.36
I don't like making
these hamburgers, but somebody
00:16:03.36\00:16:04.86
understands, I've got to
make these hamburgers right now.
00:16:04.86\00:16:08.90
No, I don't like bagging
groceries, but I've got to bag
00:16:08.90\00:16:11.86
these groceries right now.
00:16:11.86\00:16:14.66
Until I can
finish these classes.
00:16:14.66\00:16:17.60
Until I can maneuver over here.
00:16:17.60\00:16:20.26
So I'm going to go on
and flip them with a smile.
00:16:20.26\00:16:23.43
They all understand
what we talking about.
00:16:23.43\00:16:25.06
I'm going to flip them with
a smile, I'm going to bag those
00:16:25.06\00:16:28.90
groceries with a smile because
he that has the God of good
00:16:28.90\00:16:34.36
work in you, shall continue
it even if until the day of
00:16:34.36\00:16:37.93
Jesus' return.
00:16:37.93\00:16:39.60
So, welcome to McDonald's.
00:16:39.60\00:16:42.30
I love to see you smile.
00:16:42.30\00:16:45.03
Welcome to Burger
King, have it your way.
00:16:45.03\00:16:47.70
Welcome to
Publics, paper or plastic.
00:16:47.70\00:16:50.13
I'm trying to help somebody
but it won't be like that
00:16:50.13\00:16:53.50
always.
00:16:53.50\00:16:55.36
Troubles don't last always.
00:16:55.36\00:16:58.80
There's a bright side somewhere.
00:16:58.80\00:17:04.50
There are people in this
church right now, you're on a
00:17:04.50\00:17:08.73
job you don't like right now,
but you're on it, praise God
00:17:08.73\00:17:11.23
to have a job.
00:17:11.23\00:17:12.46
You're on a job right
now because you have a plan.
00:17:12.46\00:17:17.40
You've got a strategy and
if you suffer with Him, you one
00:17:17.40\00:17:23.70
day will reign with him.
00:17:23.70\00:17:25.60
It's sacrifice.
00:17:25.60\00:17:27.00
Is there anybody here
who got what you got through
00:17:27.00\00:17:30.80
sacrifice?
00:17:30.80\00:17:31.76
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:17:31.76\00:17:33.26
You pray and you cry and you
suffered and you did without,
00:17:33.26\00:17:38.46
but God blessed you.
00:17:38.46\00:17:41.46
Can I be real?
00:17:41.46\00:17:42.96
That's why I ain't worrying
about folk who are jealous of
00:17:42.96\00:17:44.43
me.
00:17:44.43\00:17:45.30
I ain't studying
folk who hate on me.
00:17:45.30\00:17:47.26
My haters are my elevators.
00:17:47.26\00:17:48.50
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:17:48.50\00:17:50.53
You don't know what I went
through to get what I've got.
00:17:50.53\00:17:54.76
You all don't
hear what I'm saying.
00:17:54.76\00:17:56.66
The devil is a lie.
00:17:56.66\00:17:58.16
Work 14 hours in that back
office, no vacations, preach
00:17:58.16\00:18:03.13
for years with two suits, a
black suit, a blue suit, just
00:18:03.13\00:18:07.63
change the shirt and
tie, hallelujah, somebody.
00:18:07.63\00:18:10.90
You don't know me,
you better ask somebody.
00:18:10.90\00:18:15.16
Anybody ever been
through sacrifice?
00:18:15.16\00:18:19.26
(music) Prejudiced
against just because I was a
00:18:19.26\00:18:25.93
preacher's child.
00:18:25.93\00:18:27.36
Talked about just because
I had good morals and ethics.
00:18:27.36\00:18:30.03
Criticized just because I
had a vision and was passionate
00:18:30.03\00:18:33.06
about that vision.
00:18:33.06\00:18:34.23
Lost a daughter in a car
accident, but look at me now.
00:18:34.23\00:18:42.76
If you suffer with Him, I
declare that God will open up
00:18:42.76\00:18:47.90
the windows of Heaven, pour
you out a blessing that there
00:18:47.90\00:18:52.80
shall not be room to receive it.
00:18:52.80\00:18:55.90
Hallelujah.
00:18:55.90\00:19:01.86
(music) Finally,
finally, number three.
00:19:01.86\00:19:07.50
A certain place.
00:19:07.50\00:19:10.93
Number three.
00:19:10.93\00:19:11.93
Oh, I feel like
preaching here today.
00:19:11.93\00:19:13.13
A certain place.
00:19:13.13\00:19:16.60
At that certain place, a
place of sanctity, a place of
00:19:16.60\00:19:21.46
sacrifice, number
three, finally, at that certain
00:19:21.46\00:19:24.60
place, God is revealed.
00:19:24.60\00:19:28.33
The companion text
says in Matthew 6:6,
00:19:28.33\00:19:30.03
"But thou, when thou
prayest, enter into thy
00:19:30.03\00:19:36.66
closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy
00:19:36.66\00:19:41.80
Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in
00:19:41.80\00:19:49.53
secret shall reward," not
maybe, not perhaps, shall.
00:19:49.53\00:19:51.60
You all don't
hear what I'm saying?
00:19:51.60\00:19:55.93
"Shall reward you openly."
00:19:55.93\00:19:59.03
There is the place where
God shows you and God shows
00:19:59.03\00:20:05.53
everybody else who God is.
00:20:05.53\00:20:07.70
At this place, God says, I am
God Almighty and there is none
00:20:07.70\00:20:13.86
like me.
00:20:13.86\00:20:16.23
At this place,
Jehovah Jireh provides.
00:20:16.23\00:20:19.86
At this place,
Jehovah Rapha heals.
00:20:19.86\00:20:22.83
At this place, Jehovah
Shalom gives you peace.
00:20:22.83\00:20:26.26
At this place,
Jehovah Nissi is your banner.
00:20:26.26\00:20:29.70
At this place,
Jehovah Shammah is there.
00:20:29.70\00:20:33.10
At this place, this is the
place where you come back from
00:20:33.10\00:20:40.40
the doctor's office crying
because there was a lump in
00:20:40.40\00:20:43.66
your breast and the enemy
said, you're going to die,
00:20:43.66\00:20:47.73
you're going to
die, you're going to die.
00:20:47.73\00:20:50.03
You begin to ask,
who's going to keep the kids?
00:20:50.03\00:20:52.73
Who's going to feed the dog?
00:20:52.73\00:20:54.53
And you're walking down the
road just crying and crying.
00:20:54.53\00:20:57.43
But then God all of a sudden,
God all of a sudden speaketh
00:20:57.43\00:21:02.20
and says, I'm God over cancer,
I'm God over affliction, I'm
00:21:02.20\00:21:07.86
God over sickness.
00:21:07.86\00:21:10.16
I am God Almighty.
00:21:10.16\00:21:12.93
But, Preacher, I just got laid
off, but God says, I can keep
00:21:12.93\00:21:16.96
you with no job.
00:21:16.96\00:21:20.06
I can feed you with no job.
00:21:20.06\00:21:22.50
I can supply all your needs.
00:21:22.50\00:21:24.96
I am God Almighty.
00:21:24.96\00:21:28.63
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:21:28.63\00:21:31.06
I wish I had somebody
who's been through hell and high
00:21:31.06\00:21:32.53
water.
00:21:32.53\00:21:33.50
I wish I had somebody who had
God bless you when you had no
00:21:33.50\00:21:37.70
job, had no house, had no
car, made a way out of no way.
00:21:37.70\00:21:42.80
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:21:42.80\00:21:45.23
He is God Almighty.
00:21:45.23\00:21:47.33
God over your problems.
00:21:47.33\00:21:48.80
God over sickness.
00:21:48.80\00:21:50.30
God over affliction.
00:21:50.30\00:21:51.93
God over crack.
00:21:51.93\00:21:53.46
God will pick you
up, turn you around.
00:21:53.46\00:21:57.50
(music) Let me
tell you something.
00:21:57.50\00:22:03.86
Anybody been through what
you all been through, they lost
00:22:03.86\00:22:13.56
their mind.
00:22:13.56\00:22:16.30
Your friends are dead,
you've got classmates in jail.
00:22:16.30\00:22:20.16
But God brought you out.
00:22:20.16\00:22:27.00
You ought to praise him.
00:22:27.00\00:22:28.13
I don't need drums all the
time, I don't need organ, I
00:22:28.13\00:22:30.03
don't need praise teams, I
praise him for what he's done.
00:22:30.03\00:22:36.10
Can I get real, we're like
talking about this in church,
00:22:36.10\00:22:37.96
but let me say it.
00:22:37.96\00:22:39.66
Somebody in this
church, somebody watching this
00:22:39.66\00:22:41.26
broadcast, some of you who
are HIV negative, you ought to
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.03
praise God for his grace.
00:22:45.03\00:22:48.53
And some of you who are HIV
positive, you ought to praise
00:22:48.53\00:22:51.43
him because you ought to thank
God you don't have full-blown
00:22:51.43\00:22:53.56
AIDS.
00:22:53.56\00:22:54.10
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:22:54.10\00:22:56.00
Where are the real people today?
00:22:56.00\00:22:57.66
Who are the thankful folk?
00:22:57.66\00:22:59.30
The real blessed folk
who have an inner place?
00:22:59.30\00:23:03.23
An inner sanctuary?
00:23:03.23\00:23:05.16
Lord, I thank you.
00:23:05.16\00:23:05.66
Lord, I bless you.
00:23:05.66\00:23:07.66
Lord, I worship you.
00:23:07.66\00:23:09.76
To God be the glory.
00:23:09.76\00:23:12.20
It is no secret what God can
do, what he's done for others,
00:23:12.20\00:23:16.30
he'll do for you, you ought to
see the miracles in this room.
00:23:16.30\00:23:19.70
You should see the folk that
should have been dead, could
00:23:19.70\00:23:22.66
have been dead.
00:23:22.66\00:23:23.63
They're not going to tell
you, but there are some folk in
00:23:23.63\00:23:25.93
this room right now
that should have been dead.
00:23:25.93\00:23:31.10
But God made a
way out of no way.
00:23:31.10\00:23:40.86
It's time to praise God.
00:23:40.86\00:23:43.50
It's time to thank God.
00:23:43.50\00:23:45.36
I'm ready.
00:23:45.36\00:23:46.73
Time to worship God.
00:23:46.73\00:23:47.53
God is revealed.
00:23:47.53\00:23:47.90
Prayer time is high time.
00:23:47.90\00:23:53.06
The hymn said, I'm pressing
on the upward way, new heights,
00:23:53.06\00:23:58.73
I'm gaining every day.
00:23:58.73\00:24:00.66
Still praying I'm onward
bound, Lord, plant my feet.
00:24:00.66\00:24:09.56
Ask, it shall be given you.
00:24:09.56\00:24:13.56
Seek, ye shall find.
00:24:13.56\00:24:17.03
Knock and the door
shall be opened unto you.
00:24:17.03\00:24:22.73
Let me tell you all something.
00:24:22.73\00:24:23.53
I am who God said I am.
00:24:23.53\00:24:25.10
I can do what God says I can do.
00:24:25.10\00:24:29.56
I can be who God says I can be.
00:24:29.56\00:24:32.16
I can have what
God says I can have.
00:24:32.16\00:24:34.36
I'm more than a conquerer,
I'm the head not the tail.
00:24:34.36\00:24:37.33
I'm above not beneath.
00:24:37.33\00:24:38.16
The devil is
trembling right now.
00:24:38.16\00:24:45.76
The devil is nervous right now.
00:24:45.76\00:24:49.46
It's a place of sanctity.
00:24:49.46\00:24:59.53
A place of sanctity,
a place of sacrifice.
00:24:59.53\00:25:13.20
The secret closet is
where God reveals himself.
00:25:13.20\00:25:22.96
So, you don't know my
story, the pain that I've been
00:25:22.96\00:25:27.83
through.
00:25:27.83\00:25:29.30
You don't even know the
pain of what I just had to do to
00:25:29.30\00:25:31.26
get here today.
00:25:31.26\00:25:33.76
You'll never
understand my worship.
00:25:33.76\00:25:37.56
You'll never
understand my praise.
00:25:37.56\00:25:41.10
But know this, my
worship, this thing is for real.
00:25:41.10\00:25:49.43
This thing ain't no show.
00:25:49.43\00:25:52.00
This thing is for real.
00:25:52.00\00:25:56.00
