00:27 >> WE'RE TALKING IN A VERY STRONG WAY AS WE COME DOWN TO
00:30 ANOTHERRENT OF 2016. GOD HAS BEEN GOOD, BUT WE NEED 00:35 YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT. WE WANT TO DEAL WITH AN ISSUE 00:38 THAT WE HEARD MANY, MANY TIMES. YOU'VE GOT AN ISSUE. 00:45 YOU'VE GOT A DECISION YOU NEED TO MAKE. 00:50 YOU'VE GOT A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING. 00:54 WE HEAR DANNY SAY ASK GOD WHAT HE WOULD HAVE YOU TO DO. 00:58 HE'S NOT JUST SAYING THAT, BECAUSE GOD IS WILING TO TELL 01:01 YOU AND TO DIRECT YOU AND GIVE YOU INFORMATION SO THAT YOU CAN 01:06 MAKE INTELLIGENT, CHRISTIAN, GODLY DISCUSSION AS YOU PREPARE 01:10 FOR HIGHER CITIZENSHIP IN THE WORD WHICH IS TO COME. 01:13 WE WANT TO WRESTLE WITH IT. HOW DO YOU THEIR THE VOICE OF 01:17 GOD AND ACCESS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR OWN LIFE. 01:21 THREE PEOPLE WHO CERTAINLY KNOW AND HAVE WRESTLED THAT, SHELLY 01:25 QUINN COMING FROM A SORT OF NON-DENOMINATION, YOU'VE HAD TO 01:29 MAKE DECISIONS. COMING TO THE CHURCH, YOU HAD TO 01:36 MAKE DECISIONS. SHOULD I GO INTO FULL TIME 01:40 MINISTRY, LEAVE CARPENTRY, YOU HAD TO MAKE DECISIONS. 01:44 EACH OF US HAVE HAD TO WRESTLE WITH THIS KIND OF THING. 01:49 I'VE GOT SOME THINGS I'M WRESTLING WITH, HOW DO I KNOW 01:52 WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO DO. I WANT TO TURN THE FIRE ON BY 01:55 SAYING THIS. THE BIBLE ASKS US TO DO TWO 01:58 THINGS, WATCH AND PRAY. YOU HAVE TO DO BOTH. 02:05 ISAIAH CHAPTER 30 TALKING ABOUT HEARING THAT LITTLE VOICE 02:08 TELLING YOU DON'T GO TO THE RIGHT. 02:10 THIS IS THE WAY, WALK IN IT. YOU WATCH AND PRAY, BECAUSE IF 02:15 YOU'RE WATCHING, AND NOT OPERATING, EVEN WHEN YOU SEE THE 02:19 ANSWER, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. 02:22 IF YOU'RE OPERATING AND NOT WATCHING, THE ANSWER WILL COME 02:24 AND YOU WILL NOT SEE IT, SO YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND PRAY AND I'VE 02:28 GOT SOME THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAID HERE ABOUT 02:31 UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD BUT I WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO YOU 02:34 TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE DIGEST OF YOUR STUDY IN THIS PARTICULAR 02:37 AREA AND TOGETHER WE'LL SORT OF SYNTHESIZE SOMETHING. 02:41 SHELLY, YOU WANT TO BEGIN? >> I JUS ACTUALLY, YES. 02:56 MY THOUGHT JUST ESCAPED ME. I I HAD CERTIFIED 10 IFFERENT 02:59 WAYS IN WHICH THE LORD SPEAKS. >> I DID A SERMON ON THIS. 03:03 TEN DIFFERENT WAYS. >> HE SPEAKS TO US NUMBER ONE 03:07 THROUGH SCRIPTURE ALWAYS. THAT IS HOW HE SPEAK HE IS THE 03:12 LOUDEST, I WILL SAY AND AS WE READ THE BASEBALL, THEN WE ARE 03:15 HEARING THE VOICE OF THE LORD, IF YOU WILL, OR THE ECH OF HIS 03:20 VOICE THROUGH THE PARAGRAPH AT THE 03:23 PROPHETS AND HIS SON IN CHRIST JESUS, THROUGH CREATION AND 03:29 CREATURES, SIGNS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, VISIONS, DREAMS, 03:32 THE AUDIBLE VOICE AND THEN THE STILL SMALL VOICE OF COURSE FROM 03:37 FIRST KINGS 19:12 WHEN HE SAID THAT ELIJAH HEARD THE STILL 03:45 SMALL VOICE OF THE LORD. THROUGH PERSONALLY, WHEN THE 03:48 LORD TAUGHT ME TO HEAR HIS PRESENCE IN PRAYER, HE SAID BE 03:53 STILL AN KNOW THT I AM GOD. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO 03:56 ARE SO FEARFUL, AND I WILL DO THIS WHEN I GO OUT, KENNY, I'LL 04:02 ALWAYS ASK PEOPLE, HOW MANY WHICH YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW 04:05 THAT GOD HAS IMPRESSED UPON YOUR MIND A THOUGHT, HIS THOUGHT BY 04:10 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND SO MANY HANDS WILL GO UP, 04:15 YET, IF YOU WERE TO SAY WELL, THE LORD TOLD ME, THEN PEOPLE 04:20 JUST GO OH OH OH. SO, AND THAT ALWAYS PUTS A RED 04:25 FLAG UP IN MY MIND, TOO, DOES IT NOT, IF SOMEBODY SAYS THAT. 04:30 THE MAIN THING, HERE IS HOW YOU KNOW THE LORD TOLD YOU, IT WILL 04:36 ALWAYS LINE UP WITH SCRIPTURE. ALWAYS, IT WILL NEVER DO 04:40 ANYTHING THAT DEEF 80S FROM SCRIPTURE. 04:44 HOW THE LORD CONVINCED ME HE WAS CALLING ME TO FULL TIME MINISTRY 04:49 WHEN WHEN HE TAUGHT ME TO BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE WAS GOD 04:53 AND I BEGAN TO BE IMPRESSED WITH THE THOUGHT AND IT WAS NEVER, HE 04:57 NEVER REVEALED EVERYTHING TO ME ONCE. 05:07 HE WILL REVEAL A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT KEEP YOU SEEKING HIM 05:10 AND THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD IN MY LIFE. 05:13 >> WELL SAID. ONE THING THAT ADDED, I ALSO 05:20 ADDED COUNSEL OF GODLY PEOPLE, TALK TO THEM BIT, SOMEONE WHO 05:23 YOU KNOW KNOWS THE LORD. JOHN, I WANT TO READ THIS QUICK 05:29 QUOTE. WHEN EVERY OTHER VOICE IS 05:31 HUSHED, GOD IS NOT GOING TO FIGHT THROUGH YOUR COMPUTER, 05:36 T.V. SET, RADIO. YOU GOT TO TURN THAT STUFF OFF 05:39 AND LISTEN. WHEN EVERY OTHER VOICE IS HUSHED 05:42 AND IN QUIETNESS, WE WAIT BEFORE HIM, THE SILENCE OF THE SOUL 05:46 MAKES MORE DISTINCT THE VOIE OF GOD. 05:49 IF YOU WANT TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE, HE'S NOT GOING TO FIGHT THROUGH 05:55 BEYONCE AND JAY-Z. HE'S NOT GOING TO FIGHT THROUGH 05:59 THAT STUFF, YOU'VE GOT TO TURN THAT STUFF OFF, THE FOOTBALL 06:02 GAMES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT. 06:06 HE IS NOT GOING TO SCREAM THROUGH ALL OF THAT STUFF. 06:08 IF YOU WANT TO HEAR, TURN DOWN THE NOISE AND LISTEN FOR THE 06:11 VOICE OF GOD. IF YOU LISTEN, YOU WILL HEAR, 06:14 BECAUSE HE'S READY, WILLING AND MORE THAN WILLING TO SPEAK TO 06:16 YOU. >> ONE OF THE TEXTS WE KNOW VERY 06:19 WELL IS PROVERBS THREE, VERSE FIVE AND SIX BECAUSE OUR HEARTS 06:25 HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WITH THE DECISIONS WE MAKE. 06:27 WE THINK TO OURSELVES, DO I WANT TO, DO I NOT WANT TO. 06:33 THOSE ARE HARD DECISIONS, DO I WANT TO BE PART OF THIS PROJECT 06:37 OR DO I NOT. WE PUT OUR HEART INTO IT, BUT 06:41 THE BIBLE SAYS TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. 06:45 DON'T LEAN ON ALL OUR UNDERSTANDING. 06:47 HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS. NOW THAT COMES TO ME, AND I 06:51 APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU PUT UP THE 10 DIFFERENT WAS THAT 06:54 GOD SPEAKS. WE SUPPORT ALL OF THOSE, BUT 06:56 THEN THERE'S ONE THAT I DON'T KNOW, I WAS LOOKING THERE, BUT 07:00 THERE'S ONE THAT I ADDED, I DON'T THINK I HEARD IT, BUT 07:03 PROVIDENCE. >> YES, YES. 07:05 >> APPROACH DENSE. SIGNS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. 07:08 PROVIDENCE. SOMETIMES THE LORD MOVES IN WAYS 07:10 THAT HE WILL BLOCK OTHER DECISIONS YOU'VE MADE, AND THE 07:15 CHRISTIAN LIFE SOMETIMES CAN BE LIKE AN OBSTACLE, A MAZE, IF I 07:19 CAN USE THAT PHRASE. WE WERE IN A MAZE IN HAWAII AND 07:23 WE'D LIKE TO JUST GO STRAIGHT-THROUGH ALL THE BUSH AND GET TO THE POINT BUT THE LORD SAYS NO, 07:28 THIS IS WHERE YOU GO LEFT AND THIS IS WHERE YOU GO RIGHT. 07:35 THERE'S A TEXT IN PROVERBS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY INTERESTING. 07:40 TODAY WE DON'T AUDIBLY HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD. 07:43 I'VE GOT TO ADD THIS IN REALLY RIGHT HERE. 07:45 JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I HAD IN MY SCHEDULE TO SPEAK WITH THE 07:49 STUDENTS AT HOUR SCHOOL, AND I REMEMBER AFTER THIS EVENT 07:54 HAPPENED, I'M SITTING DOWN AT MY DESK, I'M TYPING AND I HEARD 07:59 THIS VERY SMALL VOICE OUTABLY-SAY PASTOR JOHN, IT WAS A NUMBER WHICH VOICES TOGETHER, DON'T 08:08 FORGET WORSHIP AT THE SCHOOL THURSDAY AT 8:00. 08:11 >> WELL. >> AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT GOT 08:15 MY ATTENTION. I THOUGHT I'VE NEVER HEARD GOD 08:17 SPEAK TO ME BEFORE, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM. 08:20 I LOOKED OVER AT MY PHONE AND PICKED UP MY PHONE AND SAID IS 08:24 THIS A NEW APP THAT THE PHONE JUST STARTS TALKING TO YOU. 08:27 I REALIZE A FEW MONTHS AGO, I GAVE ONE OF THE STUDENTS AN APP 08:32 CALLED ZELLO WHERE THEY CAN TALK TO YOU DIRECTLY. 08:36 I HAD WORSHIP ON. I SAID DID YOU TALK TO ME 08:39 THROUGH MY PHONE, BECAUSE MY PHONE JUST STARTED TALKING AND I 08:44 DIDN'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS. THEY SAID YES, FOUR OF US GOT 08:48 TOGETHER AND SENT YOU A MESSAGE THROUGH ZE LLO. 08:54 WE WANTED YOU TO GET THE MESSAGE RIGHT AWAY. 08:56 I THOUGHT WOW. HE SAYS MY SON, GIVE ME YOUR 09:03 HEART AND LET YOUR EYES OBSERVE MY WAYS. 09:07 SOMETIMES GOD HAS A WAY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE 09:12 SAYS THERE ARE WAYS THAT SEEMS RIGHT AND IT SAYS MY WAYS ARE 09:17 NOT YOUR WAYS, MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. 09:20 SOMETIMES WE CAN STAND BACK AFTER WE'VE ALREADY PRAYED AND 09:23 SUBMITTED THIS TO CHRIST, WE CAN SAY LORD, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN 09:28 A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO, AND THEN WE 09:33 STAND BACK SOMETIMES AND WE SEE HOW IT'S MOVING. 09:36 WE SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, THE LORD WANTS ME TO GET ONBOARD. 09:41 SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DELETE OUR PLANS TO ACCEPT HIS PLANS. 09:44 SO THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I THINK BIT, I SAID OK, YOU KNOW, I WANT 09:50 GOD TO DIRECT ME. PSALMS, DIRECT MY STEP BY YOUR 09:59 WORDS. THE WORD OF GOD SOMETIMES DIRECT 10:01 OUR STEMS BUT THE WORD OF GOD DOESN'T SAY I WANT TO YOU 10:06 SUPPORT 3ABN OR THE WORD OF GOD DOESN'T WAY YOU NEED TO GO TO 10:19 INDONESIA OR LONDON. MOMENT BY MOMENT, I SAY GOD, 10:22 WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO. SHESHELLY, OUR FAMILY HERE, 10:30 SOMETIMES GOD WILL SAY SOMETHING TO ME THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE. 10:33 THE VERY THING I TALKED ABOUT WILL COME SO CLEARLY THROUGH 10:37 SOMEBODY ELSE. LET ME GIVE YOU A PERFECT 10:42 EXAMPLE. 2003 WHEN I WAS SITTING ON THE 10:43 EDGE OF MY BED IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI AFTER BEING IN THE IO 10:48 MISSOURI CONFERENCE FOR NINE MONTHS AND THE PLAN THERE I 10:51 REALIZED WASN'T GOING TO WORK. I SAID LORD, YOU KNEW THIS 10:54 WASN'T GOING TO WORK. WHY DID YOU HAVE ME COME TO ST. 10:59 LOUIS? I HAD A PERFECTLY -- MY CHURCH 11:01 WAS THRIVING IN FAIRFIELD, CALIFORNIA. 11:05 IT WAS PACKED EVERY SABBATH. WE HAD SO MANY THINGS GOING. 11:10 WHAT AM I DOING HERE IN ST. LOUIS. 11:12 THEN I ASKED THIS QUESTION, FATHER PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT 11:16 YOU'D LIKE ME TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE. 11:19 I JUST SAID THAT JUST AS I'M TALKING TO YOU. 11:21 I TALK TO GOD THAT WAY SOMETIMES. 11:23 TALK TO HIM IN MY CAR JUST AUDIBLABLY. 11:27 TWO DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL FROM DANNY SHELTON. 11:30 I DIDN'T KNOW DANNY LIKE THAT. I DIDN'T SEND OUT AN EMAIL. 11:34 THAT WAS GOD. HE SAID MY SON, GIVE ME YOUR 11:37 HEART AND LET YOUR EYES OBSERVE MY WAYS. 11:40 LET ME TAKE IT FROM HERE. THE LORD DID THAT. 11:42 GOT THE CALL FROM DANNY, FROM THE ILLINOIS CONFERENCE AND 11:47 TOGETHER THEY SAID WE'RE STARTING A NEW CHURCH IN 11:49 ILLINOIS, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO BE THE PASTOR OF IT. 11:52 I GAVE GOD MY HEART AND I OBSERVED HIS WAYS. 11:55 SO GOD DOES THAT SO MUCH IN MY LIFE, I JUST SIT BACK AND TALK 12:00 TO GOD AUDIBLY AND THE LORD RESPONDS IN JUST AMAZING WAYS. 12:04 >> AMEN. >> SOMETIMES GOD BEGINS TO CLOSE 12:07 DOWN DOORS AND OPENS OTHER DOORS AND YOU CAN SEE HIS MOVEMENT. 12:12 MY INTENTION IS TO DO THIS, BUT THAT DOOR IS JUST BLOCKED. 12:16 IT JUST MIRACULOUSLY OPENS UP. >> JUST LIKE WITH PAUL. 12:19 >> PRECISELY. >> HE SAID THAT, IF YOU WANT ME 12:25 TO PREACH. >> GOD TOOK HIM UP ON IT. 12:28 >> PROVIDENCE. PROVIDENCE. 12:29 >> LET ME JUST ADD SOMETHING HERE. 12:31 THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, HIS VOICE IS ALSO 12:37 REVEALED IN HIS PARAGRAPH DEN SHE WILL WORKINGS. 12:38 >> YES. >> AMOUNTED IT IS TO BE 12:41 RECOGNIZED IF WE DO NOT SEPARATE OUR SOULS FROM HIM BY WALKING IN 12:45 OUR OWN WAYS, DOING ACCORDING TO OTHER OWN.-LORD, THIS IS WHAT I WANT, BUT 12:50 NEVER THAT'S NOT MY WILL, THY WILL. 12:57 IF YOUR HEART IS OPEN, GOD WILL SHOW YOU. 13:01 AND FOLOW THE PRINCIPLES OF AN UNSANCTIONIFIED HEART UNTIL WE 13:11 BECOME SO CONFUSED AND THE VOICE OF SATAN IS SO DISGUIDES THAT IT 13:18 IS ACCEPTED AS THE VOICE OF GOD. ONE THING WE NEED TO ASK FOR IS 13:25 DISCERNMENT. >> HOW DO YOU PUSH BACK TO THE 13:44 DEVIL AND AP CLOSED DOOR WHERE THE LORD IS SAYING UH-UH, NOT 13:48 THAT WAY, THIS WAY. WHEN WE STEPPED UP FOR 13:54 EVANGELISM, WE GOT PUSHED BACK FROM SATAN. 13:55 IS THAT GOD SAYING NO OR IS THAT THE DEVIL FOR WANT OF A BETTER 14:00 TERM MESS, ME? HELP ME WITH THAT. 14:02 >> YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING, EVERY TIME YOU MOVE FORWARD, 14:12 THERE'S GOING TO BE OPPOSITION. YOU KNOW AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU 14:15 SAY I WANT TO GIVE BIBLE STUDIES, YOU KNOW AUTOMATICALLY, 14:20 THERE'S OPPOSITION. WE REALIZE WHEN GOD IS SPEAKING 14:23 INTO OUR HEARTS AND TO OUR MINDS, YOU MENTIONED A WHILE AGO 14:27 DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE, PASTOR JOHN AND SHELLY MENTIONED 14:30 THESE THINGS WE COME TO A POINT WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE, A 14:34 DECISION AND WE NEED TO BASE IT REALLY ON NATURALLY THE WORD OF 14:38 GOD BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD'S VOICE SPEAKING TO US. 14:42 >> IT IS. >> WE JUST HAVE TO WHEN WE READ 14:46 IT KNOW THAT GOD IS SPEAKING TO US INDIVIDUALLY. 14:50 MY BROTHER ALWAYS SAID A SET UP. I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I WAS SET UP. 14:56 IT'S JUST A YOUNG PERSON. I WAS EXPLAINING HOW SET UP, 15:01 BECAUSE FIRST I SAID WHEN I WAS SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS OLD AND I 15:03 DON'T KNOW WHY I SAID THIS, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT EVEN CAME TO 15:08 THIS POINT, ONE DAY IT WAS LIKE I WAS IMPRESSED THAT SOMEDAY, 15:11 SOMETHING ABOUT PREACHING WILL BE IN YOUR LIFE, JUST A VERY 15:14 YOUNG AGE AND I SAID NOT SO, LORD. 15:18 WHATEVER ENTERED MY MIND, I SAID THAT IS ONE THING THAT I WILL 15:22 NEVER EVER DO IS TO BE A PREACHER. 15:24 AND THEN I SAID THINKING THROUGH THIS, WHY WOULD JUST A YOUNG 15:29 GUY, WHY WOULD I BE THINKING ALONG THAT LINE, WHY DID I? 15:34 >> THEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE VOICE OF GOD, SOMEBODY MENTIONED HERE 15:37 THAT GOD USES PEOPLE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 15:38 >> USES PEOPLE AND I'LL MENTION ONE THAT YOU KNOW VERY WELL IS 15:43 WE CALL IT THE MICHA SISTERS.-THEIR GRANDMOTHER USED TO GO TO THE CHURCH WHEN I WAS 17, 18 15:54 YEARS OLD. JUST A GODLY WOMAN. 15:56 JUST THE LOVE OF JESUS WAS ALWAYS COMING THROUGH THIS LADY. 15:59 ONCE IN A WHILE THEY'D ASK ME TO GET IN FRONT AND DO SOMETHING, 16:04 WHATEVER AND I'D GIVE IT THE BEST SHOT. 16:06 WHEN I WAS DONE, SHE WAS SO ENCOURAGING. 16:08 SHE GRABBED MY HAND ONE DAY AND GOT BOTH HANDS ON IT, SHE LOOKED 16:12 AT ME AND SAID GOD HAS SPOKEN TO MY HEART. 16:15 ONE DAY YOU WILL BE A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL. 16:18 AND I SAID TO MYSELF, THANK YOU, HON, AND THEN I SAID TO MYSELF, 16:23 NO WAY. THERE'S A POSITIVE AND THERE'S A 16:26 NEGATIVE. WE'RE FIGHTING IT, YOU KNOW, BUT 16:29 THERE A DOOR OPENS, A DOOR CLOSES. 16:32 GOD WAS USING HER TO ENCOURAGE ME, ONE DAY YOU YOU WILL BE. 16:37 IT WASN'T JUST THAT TIME, IT WAS ANOTHER TIME AND ANOTHER TIME 16:42 SHE'D PAT ME ON THE BACK AND YOU WILL BE, GOD HAS SPOKEN. 16:46 SHE HEARD THE VASE AND SHE SAID. EVEN IN 3ABN AT THE BEGINNING, 16:51 WE CAN SAY BECAUSE OF BEING IN CONSTRUCTION FOR YEARS, 18 YEARS 16:56 IN YOUR OWN, AND WHEN 3ABN IS DEVELOPING, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE 17:00 TO MAKE A DECISION. YOU WANT TO HEAR THE VOICE OF 17:02 GOD. YOU DON'T GIVE UP 18 YEARS OF 17:04 WHAT YOU INVESTED, YOU MAKE A GOOD LIVING WITH NOTHING BUT 17:08 LIVE ON FAITH. SO I REALIZE AND SO THE LORD 17:13 IMPRESSED HER, IS THERE WILL BE WORK THAT YOU AND YOUR BROTHER 17:16 WILL DO THAT WILL REACH THE WORLD. 17:19 I SAID WHAT IS IT, I SAID LISTEN WHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU WILL KNOW. 17:22 >> AMEN. >> WHEN YOU HEAR, YOU WILL KNOW. 17:25 SO I HAD THE FAMILY, I HAD THE WORK, I HAD ALL THESE THINGS 17:30 HERE ALL LINED OUT DOING. I THOUGHT WHAT IS IT, I ALREADY 17:34 KNOW SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN. 17:36 THEN WHEN BROTHER CAME DOWN, HE SAID I KNOW WHAT IT IS RIGHT 17:39 NOW, THE LORD HAS IMPRESSED US TO BUILD A STATION THAT WILL 17:43 REACH THE WORLD. THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID TO ME WALK 17:48 YE IN IT. NEVER HESITATED. 17:50 I KNEW THE VOICE OF GOD. WE HAVE TO EXTINGUISH THE VOICE 17:53 OF GOD. DOORS WERE OPENING AND DOORS-WERE CLOSING. 17:59 LIVES WAS CHANGING, YOU SEE, AND THEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT 18:02 YOU TALK ABOUT ALL THIS RIGHT HERE, I THOUGHT HERE IS ONE-úIMPORTANT POINT QUICKLY. 18:07 I JOTTED THIS DOWN, FAILURE TO DISTINGUISH THE VOICE OF GOD, 18:11 HERE'S THE RESULTS, IF WE CANDIES TINGE WISH, BECAUSE WE 18:16 TALK ABOUT IF WE CAN DISTINGUISH AND WE'LL KNOW, WE'LL WALK RIGHT 18:21 IN IT, EVERYTHING'S NOT REVEALED SAID TO ONE OF YOU, BECAUSE WHAT 18:26 WHAT, AFFECT. THERE'S ROOM FOR FAITH IF 18:28 EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE REVEALED. 18:30 GOT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO IT. HE GIVES YOU ENOUGH INFORMATION. 18:32 >> WE MIGHT BE SCARED IF HE DID IT ALL. 18:35 >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THE MESSAGE SAYS THIS, IF WE 18:40 CANDIES EXTINGUISH THE VOICE OF GOD, THE SPIRIT WILL PASS BY 18:43 THOSE WHO HAVE NOT DISTINGUISHED THE VOICE OF GOD. 18:49 CONSCIENCE IS THE VOICE OF GOD HEARD AMID CONFLICT AND HUMAN 18:54 PASSIONS. WHAT DOES THE SPIRIT DO? 18:56 WE'RE CHALLENGED, WE THINK PASTOR JOHN. 18:58 WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON IT. 19:01 IF WE CANDIES EXTINGUISH WE'RE THE ENEMY HE'LL RUN CLOSE BY. 19:05 THE SPIRIT'S GOING TO PASS BY. SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO DO THE 19:09 WORK THAT MAYBE YOU'RE CALLED TO DO SO WE NEED TO DISTINGUISH THE 19:13 VOICE OF GOD, EARNEST DETENTION. SCRIPTURE REWARDED WITH RESPECT 19:17 AND SO ON AND SO FORTH AS THE VOICE OF GOD SPEAKING TO US. 19:21 I REALLY BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART, GOD SPEAKS, OUR HEARTS 19:26 HAVE TO BE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. 19:28 THEY NEED TO BE RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT DISCERN SPIRITUAL 19:32 THINGS ARE WHAT, BUT THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED, SO UNLESS 19:38 OUR HEART AND MIENSDZ ARE RIGHT WITH GOD, WE WILL NOT DISCERN 19:41 THE VOICE OF GOD. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE ENEMY 19:44 WILL COME IN AND HE WILL GIVE THAT LITTLE FALSE IMPRESSION AND 19:48 WE'RE OFF DOING THINGS THAT GOD NEVER CALLED US TO DO BECAUSE WE 19:50 FELT LIKE IT, WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD, WE LIKE HOW SOMEBODY 19:54 ELSE DID IT AND WE WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT AND OFF WE GO AND 19:59 THEN PRETTY SOON WE FIND OUR LIVES A MESS. 20:05 >> I CAN'T REMEMBER THE REFERENCE, BUT IF WE ARE 20:09 CONSCIOUSLY AVOIDING THE LAW OF GOD, IF WE'RE BREAKING THE LAWS 20:12 OF GOD, GOD CANNOT ACCEPT YOUR PRAYERS, HE CAN'T ACCEPT YOUR 20:17 SACRIFICE, YOUR WORSHIP, IF YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY GOING AGAINST 20:21 THE LAW OF GOD, SO THEN YOU HAVE OPENED YOURSELF UP FOR 20:25 DECEPTION. YOU ARE ASKING TO BE DECEIVED, 20:27 BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT YOU KNOW. 20:30 WHEN YOU'VE MADE YOUR DECISION, HOW DOES GOD SPEAK TO YOU? 20:33 WHEN YOU USE THE TERM AND YOU HAVE TO CORRECT YOURSELF, NOT 20:37 REALLY CORRECT YOURSELF BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHEN 20:39 YOU SAY GOD SPOKE TO ME. YOU'RE SAYING GOD HAS IMPRESSED 20:43 ME, REVEALED TO ME. IT MAY BE AN AUDIBLE VOICE, IT 20:46 MAY NOT. HOW DOES GOD SPEAK TO YOU AND 20:49 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE A DECISION I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE 20:53 CORPORATE WORLD OR I'M DOING PRETTY GOOD AND I'M GOING TO PUT 20:56 MYSELF IN GOD'S HANDS TO TRY TO PREACH AND SUSTAIN MYSELF, 21:00 THAT'S A MAJOR DECISION. NOW YOUR FINANCES AND YOUR 21:03 LIVELIHOOD ARE INVOLVED WITH TRUSTING GOD. 21:04 >> YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS IN JOHN 10 INVERSE 27, IT'S 21:11 ACTUALLY JESUS SAYS THE SHEEP ARE MY OWN, HEAR AND LISTENING 21:15 TO MY VOICE AND I KNOW AND THEY FOLLOW ME. 21:18 I WILL SAY THAT I HAD HEARD GOD'S VOICE WHEN I SAY THAT, THE 21:24 STILL SMALL VOICE, THE AUDIBLE VOICE OF THE LORD IS REVELATIONS 21:28 SAYS IT'S LIKE THE RUSHING OF MANY WATERS. 21:31 WE KNOW THAT WHEN THE HEBREW CHILDREN HEARD THAT NOT MOUNTAIN 21:36 WITH THE PYROTECHNICS GOING ON, THEY TREMBLED, IT WAS SUCH AN 21:41 AWESOME VOICE. I BELIEVE THE STILL SMALL VOICE 21:44 THAT ELIJAH HEARD WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPRESSING THOUGHT UPON 21:48 HIS MIND. FIRST OF ALL, YOU MENTIONED, I 21:50 DO BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LORD SAYS I AM THE LORD, I 21:56 CHANGE NOT, HE SAYS JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND 22:00 FOREVER, SO I BELIEVE THAT GOD COULD SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN AN 22:03 AUDIBLE VOICE. I MET A MAN WHO HAD BEEN AN 22:08 ALCOHOLIC, WAS PASSED OUT IN LITERALLY HE WAS A FARMER PASSED 22:11 OUT IN A DITCH WITH HIS FACE DOWN IN ABOUT FOUR INCHES OF 22:15 MUD. I MEAN JUST OUT OF IT, BEAUSE 22:17 HE WAS SO DRUNK. HE SWEARS IT WAS AN AUDIBLE 22:21 VOICE THAT WOKE HIM UP, AND CALLED HIM AND HE BECAME A 22:26 STRONG CHRISTIAN AND GOD TOTALLY CHANGED HIS LIFE. 22:30 FOR ME, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD, AND I ALMOST THOUGHT 22:36 THAT THAT WAS AUDIBLE, IT WAS AT A TIME WHEN I WAS REALLY SEEKING 22:43 AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP YOU WITH THE LOWERED IN MEXICO, 22:49 WORKING AS A REALTOR AND IT WAS MY TURN TO GO BYE--BUY THE LUNCH 22:58 FOR EVERYBODY. BIG BURGER SHACK, I WAS THE ONLY 23:01 PERSON THERE. I'M PUTTING IN THE ORDER AND 23:03 PRAISING THE LORD AND OPERATING PRAYING. 23:12 ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHAT I SAW IN MY MIND WAS THIS HUGE TWO WHITE 23:21 DOORS OPENED UP AND THERE WAS A CHEF'S LIGHT. 23:25 I FELT THIS WARMTH AND THE LORD SAID ALL THROUGH YOUR CHILDHOOD 23:29 YOU HAVE WANTED A FATHER, BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY DADDY WAS 23:33 KILLED WHEN I WAS SIX. I WISHED I'D WRITTEN THIS DOWN 23:37 OPINION IT'S SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT YOU CRIED OUT FOR A 23:40 FATHER THAT YOU COULD COME AN SIT ON HIS LAP AND HE WOULD SAY 23:44 EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. CHILD, I'VE ALSO BEEN HERE, I AM 23:48 YOUR FATHER. THAT WAS SO REAL. 23:51 IT SOUNDED OUTABLE. I WAS BOOHOOING. 23:54 I EXPECTED PEOPLE WHEN THEY FINALLY ANNOUNCED THE BURGER 23:59 ORDER, I'M LIKE DID THEY HEAR THAT, TOO, BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE 24:04 THUNDER. I'M GOING TO SHARE SOMETHING, I 24:06 HOPE THIS WON'T GO OFF THE WALL, BUT I WAS IN A -- WE WERE IN A A 24:12 DENNY'S WITH ANOTHER PASTOR OF A DENOMINATION, HE WAS A BAPTIST, 24:16 I WAS AT THAT TIME NON-DENOMINATIONAL. 24:19 WE'RE SPEAKING AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT HIS WIFE WHEN SHE WAS 24:23 PREGNANT AND HE FINALLY GOT HER TO GO OUT TO DINNER. 24:27 THE BABY WAS SIX MONTHS OLD, SHE WOULDN'T LEAVE THE BABY UNTIL HE 24:32 WAS SIX MONTHS OLD. HE WAS SO EXCITED. 24:34 IT WAS LIKE A DATE. HE HAD HER A CORSAGE, HE HAD THE 24:38 CAR WASHED. HE GETS THERE AND THEY WENT 24:41 THROUGH THE FIRST COURSE AND IT WAS MORE LIKE FAMILY IN ONE ROOM 24:44 AND FANCIER IN THE OTHER. HE SAID IT'S SO ROMANTIC TO BE 24:48 WITH MY WIFE AND SUDDENLY SHE HEARS A BABY CRY AND YOU KNOW 24:53 WHAT HAPPENS. >> HER MILK. 24:55 >> HER MILK DROPPED. GOD CREATED WOMEN THAT WHEN THEY 24:59 ARE LACK TATING AND A BABY CRIES, THE MILK DROPS. 25:03 >> OH. >> JUST ALSO HE SAID THAT, THIS 25:06 WAS JUST THE IMPRESSION THAT WAS PUT ON MY MIND AND HE SAID MY 25:12 NAME IS OSHADI, THE MINI BREASTED ONE AS IT IS IN THE 25:17 NATURAL SO IT IS IN THE SPIRITUAL. 25:19 I HEAR MY CHILDREN'S CRY AND I LONG FOR THEM TO COME DRAW ON 25:23 ME. THAT'S WHERE GOD STARTED ME IN 25:27 LEARNING TO SEEK HIM AND WHEN I SAY THAT, I HEAR GOD'S VOICE, 25:32 IT'S JUST THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPRESSES ME AND I PROMISE YOU, 25:36 WHEN I'M SO BUSY THAT I DON'T KNOW STILL BEFORE THE LORD, I 25:40 NEVER -- I NEVER EXPERIENCE IT IN 10 MINUTE, 15 MINUTE PRAYER. 25:44 IT'S WHEN I'VE REALLY POURED MY HEART OUT BEFORE THE LORD, WHEN 25:49 I'M REALLY STILL MY MIND AND THEN THE IMPRESSION WILL COME 25:54 AND I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT GODLY COUNCIL, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. 26:00 YOU TOOK GODLY COUNCIL, YOU KNEW IT WAS A WOMAN OPERATING WHO WAS 26:03 VERY CONSISTENT. THINK ABOUT WHAT NATHAN SAID TO 26:06 DAVID WHEN DAVID SAID I'M GOING TO BUILD THE SANCTUARY AND 26:09 NATHAN AT FIRST SAID YEAH, DO IT. 26:13 YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT GODLY COUNCIL IS REALLY 26:15 OPERATING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT LINES UP IN 26:18 PRINCIPLE WITH THE LORD OF GOD, BUT IT'S NOT WHAT GOD INTENDS 26:22 FOR YOUR LIFE. SO AS I BEGAN LISTENING FOR THE 26:29 LORD, IT JUST BECAME CLEAR HE WAS CALLING ME TO FULL TIME 26:34 MINISTRY. I ASKED FOR A SIGN, YOU KNOW, 26:37 LIKE GIDEON DID, AND HE SAID THIS TIME, I WILL GIVE YOU A 26:43 SIGN. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE DON'T BE 26:49 PULLED IN ON A SIGN. YOU CAN BE FOOLED WITH A SIGN. 26:54 THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO HAVE A SIGN TO DO EVERYTHING. 26:57 >> TRUE. >> HE ALSO TOLD ME WHEN -- THAT 27:01 I -- IT HAD TO BE J.D. HAD TO BE IN AGREEMENT WITH IT, SO WHEN HE 27:05 CALLED ME TO FULL TIME MINISTRY, HERE WE ARE, WE WERE GETTING 27:09 READY TO KNOCK ONE OUT OF THE PARK. 27:12 WE HAD IT ALL LINED UP. WE COULD EASILY BEEN MAKING 27:16 $100,000 A MONTH WITH THE SYMPOSIUMS WE WERE GETTING READY 27:19 TO DO, AND I MEAN, AND ENGAGEMENTS WERE SET UP. 27:23 SO WHEN I -- J.D. WAS TRAVELING, WHEN I WENT TO VISIT WHERE HE 27:28 WAS WORKING AND HE SAYS TO ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, YOU WERE 27:31 SO EXCITED, NOW WHAT'S GOING ON? THE BOTTOM LIKE THAT WAS, I TOLD 27:35 HIM I FEEL LIKE GOD'S CALLING.-HE SAID IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 27:40 I SAID I WOULDN'T BE TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO INCREASE THEIR 27:44 PROFIT AND THEIR BUSINESS. I WOULD TEACHING THEM HOW TO 27:47 HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. SO HE SAYS TO ME AND I KNOW I'M 27:51 TAKING TO LONG, LET ME SAY IT QUICKLY. 27:54 I SAID HONEY, I KNOW HE'S CALLING ME TO FULL TIME 27:57 MINISTRY. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NOW OR 27:59 LATER OR MAYBE WE CAN START PART TIME. 28:02 YOU KNOW WHAT J.D. SAYS? HE SAYS YOU DO KNOW. 28:05 BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, HE KNOWS THAT I'M REALLY LISTENING FOR 28:08 THE LORD AND I JUST TOLD HIM, I FEEL LIKE IT IS NOW. 28:12 HE SAID WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH GOD. 28:15 THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER WE MADE THIS DECISION TO TOTALLY GIVE 28:19 EVERYTHING UP, THE SIGN GOD GAVE ME WASN'T 3ABN, BUT A DIFFERENT 28:24 NETWORK CALLED ME. THEY TRACKED ME DOWN THROUGH A 28:28 NUMBER OF PEOPLE, CALLED ME AND ASKED ME TO BE ON THEIR NETWORK, 28:33 SO I THINK THAT CAN I TELL ONE MORE STORY IF I TELL IT QUICK? 28:39 >> WELL SURE. >> I AM NOW WITH THE OTHER 28:42 NETWORK AND I'M DRIVING HOME FROM -- THEY WERE IN MID LAND, 28:49 TEXAS. I'M DRIVING HOME BACK TO THE 28:51 FARM AND I'M REALLY BEEN LEARNING TO SEEK GOD AND BE 28:55 STILL BEFORE HIM, BUT I'M JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD PRAYING AND 28:59 PRAISING THE LORD. AS I GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND 29:02 GETTING READY TO TURN ON TO THE STATE HIGHWAY, I HAD -- THERE 29:07 WAS A GAS STATION ON THE CORNER AND THERE IS A MAN STANDING 29:11 BEHIND THE PICKUP FILLING UP THE GAS, AS I GO AROUND ON TO THE 29:14 STATE HIGHWAY, I HEAR IN MY MIND, NOT AND YOU AUDIBLY BUT I'M 29:21 IMPRESSED, GO PRAY FOR THIS MAN. I'M GOING DOWN THE ROAD SAYING 29:25 LORD, IS THIS ME OR IS THIS YOU? IS THIS ME ORIS THIS YOU? 29:29 >> UNDERSTAND IT KEEPS COMING STRONGER AND STRONGER. 29:31 I GO LORD, IS THIS ME OR IS THIS YOU, I DON'T KNOW THIS MAN. 29:35 I AM FOUR MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THEN IT REALLY GOT CHEER IT 29:40 WAS LIKE WHEN WILL YOU LEARN TO OBEY WHEN I SPEAK? 29:43 AND BOY I TURNED THAT CAR AROUND. 29:45 I HOT FOOTED IT BACK THERE THINKING AND THE TRUCK WASN'T 29:48 THERE AT THE THING AND I'M THINKING HE'S GONE, OH, LORD, 29:52 YOU KNOW, BUT THEN I SAW IT WAS PARKED. 29:55 HE'D MOVED IT. I WALKED UP, THIS MAN IS 29:58 TALKING, HE WAS A HISPANIC MAN TALKING TO TWO OTHER HISPANIC 30:02 PEOPLE IN SPANISH. HE'S NOW I SEE THAT HE'S ON 30:05 CRUTCHES AND I'M THINKING HE DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH, 30:09 BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL THINKING IS IT ME OR IS IT YOU, RIGHT? 30:13 AS HE'S TALK, HE TURNS AND LOOKS AT ME AND GOES OH, SHELLY QUINN. 30:19 YOU COULD HAVE BLOWN ME OVER. HE WAS WATCHING THE SERIES I WAS 30:23 DOING ON THE OTHER NETWORK. SO, I TOLD HIM, I SAID THIS IS 30:29 GOING TO SOUND STRANGE, BUT I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND 30:32 THE LORD TOLD ME TO COME PRAY FOR YOU. 30:34 HE WAS GETTING READY TO HAVE SURGERY AND HAVE HIS LEG 30:39 AMPUTATED THE NEXT DAY. HE ALRADY HAD SURGERY AT 30:41 VETERANS AND THEY HAD OPERATED ON THE WRONG LEG, SO AT THIS 30:45 POINT, I AM PRAYING EARNESTLY FOR HIM. 30:48 OF COURSE WE PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE, BUT WHAT GOD IMPRESSED 30:51 UPON ME WAS TO PRAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE 30:54 HIS LEG TAKEN AND TO PRAY THAT HE WOULD HAVE NO PAIN. 31:00 SO THAT'S WHAT I'M PRAYING. TWO OR THREE WEEKS LATER, I GET 31:03 THIS PHONE CALL FROM THE WARD OF THE VETERAN'S HOSPITAL FROM THIS 31:09 VERY EXCITED MAN, WHO IS TELLING ME I HAD HAD ZERO PAIN AND I'VE 31:15 HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO UP AND DOWN THE WARDS TELLING EVERYONE 31:19 WHAT GOD DID FOR ME IN SENDING YOU. 31:25 SO TO WRAP IT ALL UP AND I'LL SHUT UP IS THAT WE DON'T -- WE 31:30 NEED TO PRAY LORD, CAUSE ME TO HEAR YOUR LOVING KINDNESS IN THE 31:34 MORNING, LEAD ME BY YOUR SPIRIT, BUT IT WILL BE A COMBINATION, I 31:38 THINK OF HIS LEARNING TO LISTEN, BUT MAKING SURE, YOU KNOW, 31:41 TALKING WITH GODLY PEOPLE TO GET THEIR COUNCIL. 31:47 IF YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MAJOR DECISION, SOMETIMES A FLEECE IS 31:51 NOT A BAD IDEA LIKE GOD I DON'T KNOW BUT I STILL THINK WE 31:55 SHOULDN'T RELY ON IT. I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION OF 31:58 THINGS, PERSONALLY. >> I WANT JOHN TO EXPOUND ON IT 32:02 A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOUR CALL HERE WAS 32:05 CIRCUMSTANCES, GOD PARAGRAPH DEN SHELLY, YOU SAY LORD WHAT DO I 32:09 DO, BEING, THE PONE RINGS. THAT'S GOD, BUT AND SHELLY 32:13 TOUCHED ONLY. I THINK IT'S THE CONSTELLATION 32:21 OF THINGS. YOU LINE UP WITH SCRIPTURE. 32:26 IS A FLEECE AN UNGODLY THING TO ASK FOR. 32:31 >> NO, I DID PUT OUT A FLEECE WHEN I WAS IN FAIRFIELD. 32:34 I SAID NO THREE TIMES ALREADY TO THE IOWA MISSOURI CONFERENCE. 32:37 THEY CALLED ME THREE TIMES, I SAID NO, NO, NO, I'M NOT FEELING 32:42 IT. YOU KNOW, WHY WOULD I LEAVE, 32:44 WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE SOMETHING 32:46 THAT'S FINALLY FUNCTIONING THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO FUNCTION. 32:49 THE CHURCH IS JAMPACKED, IF YOU DON'T COME BEFORE IS SABBATH, YOU 32:56 CAN'T GET A SEAT. WE WERE THINKING ABOUT TURNING 32:59 THE CHURCH INTO A MEDIA CHURCH. THEY CALLED ME THE FOURTH TIME 33:03 AND SAID DON'T SAY NO UNTIL YOU COME SIT DOWN AND TALK TO US. 33:07 CAME AND HAD LUNCH IN A LITTLE RESTAURANT IN ST. LOUIS. 33:16 I PUT IT ISSUE GOD'S HANDS. WHEN I WENT BACK, I SAID LORD, I 33:28 DON'T WANT TO GO, WHAT SHOULD I DO. 33:30 I SHARED THIS BEFORE ON 3ABN. BUT THE LORD, ON THURSDAY, 33:37 BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE MY DECISION AND THE ELDER SAID TO 33:48 ME, PASTOR ANY NEWS, I SAID READ AND I GAVE HIM THE DATE. 33:52 IT BEGAN WITH THIS PHRASE. WOE BE UNTO YOU IF YOU PUT YOUR 33:57 FOOT IN ANY OTHER DIRECTION ONCE THE CALL OF GOD HAS GIFT YOU. 34:04 >> THAT IS PRETTY STRONG. THAT WILL LIGHT A FIRE. 34:08 >> AND THEN IT WENT ON BEWARE OF COMPETING VOICES. 34:12 >> AMEN. AMEN. 34:14 AND THEN IT WENT FURTHER DOWN, THREE TIMES I'LL GET THAT 34:18 DEVOTION, I'LL SHARE THOSE QUICK QUOTES. 34:20 I THOUGHT WHOA, GOD HAS JUST HIT ME WITH A LEFT, A RIGHT, AND 34:28 UPPERCUT. HE SAID YOU BETTER LISTEN. 34:32 IVE ONE MORE QUOTE. THAT WAS PRECIPITATED, THAT CAME 34:36 ON THE HEELS, THAT IS, I DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO FAIRFIELD, 34:41 EITHER. IT BECAME ONE OF THE MOST 34:46 PROSPEROUS WE HAD. I SAID LORD, IF YOU WANT US TO 34:50 STAY IN PASTORING, PREVENT AMAZING FACTS FROM COMING TO 34:59 CALIFORNIA. I JUST TALKED WITH DOUG EARLIER 35:01 AROUND SAID WE'LL BE THER IN TWO MONTHS OPINION I TOLD ANGIE, 35:05 BECAUSE SHE KNEW WE HAD A CHALLENGE AT THE PRIDE CHURCH. 35:08 I SAID HONEY, I'M DONE WITH THIS PASTORING STUFF. 35:12 I'M GOING INTO EVANGELISM FULL TIME. 35:15 THE CHURCH WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO, THERE WAS A SMALL CAFE IN 35:19 THE MIDDLE OF IT. I WAS HAVING A SUNDAY ON A 35:22 SUNDAY NIGHT, I WAS POUTING LIKE JONAH. 35:25 I'M UPSET. I AM NOT GOING, EVEN THOUGH 35:28 EVERYBODY SAID YOU SHULD GO AND SO ANGIE SAYS TO ME, SO, NOW 35:32 YOU'RE TELLING GOD WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO, WHAT YOU WANT TO 35:37 DO AND DON'T WAND TO IT. SHE THREW A CURVE AT ME BECAUSE 35:41 SHE IS NOT BOISTEROUS. SHE SAID NOW YOU AR TELLING GOD 35:45 WHAT YOU WAND AND DON'T WAND TO IT. 35:51 THEY CALLED ME AND SAID JOHN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT 35:54 IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT TWO YEARS BEFORE AMAZING FACT CAN COME TO 35:58 CALIFORNIA FROM MAYLAND. I CLOSED MY EYES AND SAID OK, 36:02 LORD. I'M GOING, OK, I'M GOING. 36:04 THEN I ENDED UP IN FAIRFIELD. THE SAME THING WITH MISSOURI, 36:10 FINALLY SAID YES AND I GOT THERE. 36:12 I'M THINKING THEY HAD THIS LITTLE RUN DON PARSON ONLY AND 36:16 THEY SWEETENED THE POT AND BOUGHT US A NICE HOUSE BUT I 36:19 WASN'T GOING FOR THE HOUSE, I WAS GOING FOR THE MINISTRY. 36:23 AFTER NINE MONTHS AND IT DIDN'T PAN OUT THE WAY I PLANNED AND 36:27 WHAT THEY ENVISIONED, I SAID WHY AM I HERE. 36:30 GOD CALLED TWO DAYS LATER HEAR THE TEXT THAT I PUT TO YOU THAT. 36:36 THIS IS THE KEY NOTE IN MY LIFE. EVERYWHERE THAT ANGIE AND I HAVE 36:40 GONE, WE NEVER ASKED TO GO. WE'VE ALWAYS PUT IT BEFORE THE 36:45 LORD. I CALLED THE MINISTRY, WE KNELT 36:48 DOWN AND PRAYED SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW, FATHER, OPEN THE DOOR FOR 36:51 US IN MINISTRY. WE LIVED IN FLORIDA WITH NO 36:54 DEGREE AND I GET A CALL FROM THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE. 37:04 I GET A KAL FROM CALIFORNIA TO BE INVOLVED IN EVANGELISM. 37:08 REALLY? HONESTLY. 37:10 THEY SAY PRAY ABOUT IT. I PRAYED ABOUT IT WHILE WE WERE 37:14 PACKING. THAT'S HOW OUR LIFE HAS BEEN. 37:16 THIS IS THE TEXT THAT REALLY BROUGHT IT TOGETHER. 37:20 SAME 32 VERSE EIGHT, I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN 37:24 THE WAY YOU SHOULD EGG AND THIS PART I LOVE. 37:28 I WILL GUIDE YOU WITH MY EYE. ISN'T THAT POWERFUL? 37:33 >> IT'S BEAUTIFUL. >> JEREMIAH 29:11, I HAVE OTHER 37:41 PLANS. I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU. 37:42 YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, BUT I KNOW THEM. 37:45 THE LORD SAYS I'M GOING TO GUIDE WITH YOU MY EYES SO I PUT 37:49 BLINDFOLDS ON AND I BEGAN THE WALK OF FAITH. 37:53 WE WALKED BY FAITH AND HERE I AM TODAY. 37:55 HE DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT, BECAUSE EVERY PLACE WE WENT, EVERY PLACE 37:58 WE WENT, IT'S LORD, YOU MUST SEE SOMETHING I DON'T SEE, BECAUSE 38:02 I'M NOT FEELING IT. [ LAUGHTER ] 38:03 >> I END UP THERE AND IT'S LIKE OH, THANK YOU LORD. 38:08 IF WE HAD BEEN RECALCITRANT. IF WE HAD BEEN HARD HEART AND 38:15 NOT WANT TO FOLLOW THE LORD, WE WOULDN'T BE SITTING IN THIS 38:19 CHAIR THIS VERY DAY. WANT LORD WILL GUIDE YOU 38:27 CONTINUALLY AND SATISFACTORY YOUR SOUL IN DROUGHT AND 38:31 STRENGTHEN YOUR BONES. YOU SHALL BE LIKE A WATERED 38:34 GARDEN, LIKE A SPRING OF WATER, WHO'S WATERS DO NOT FAIL. 38:37 THE LORD SAYS I'M GOING TO NOT GUIDE YOU ONLY WITH MY EYES, BUT-I'M GOING TO GUIDE YOU 38:44 CONTINUALLY. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. 38:45 YOU MAY BE IN A POSITION SAYING LORD, WHAT DO I DO? 38:48 THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. PUT IT BEFORE THE LORD AND MY 38:53 LIFE HAS LITERALLY BEEN ADD TO PRAYER AND PROVIDENCE. 38:58 >> PAT TORE, PICK IT UP. >> PSALMS 20 KNIFE:NINE SAYS 39:05 LEAD IN JUDGMENT AND HE'S GOING TO TEACH HIS WAY. 39:08 I NOTICED WHAT YOU WERE TELLING HOW GOD WAS WORKING IN YOUR 39:11 LIFE, YOU HAD SPIRITUAL GOOSE BUMPS ON YOUR NECK. 39:18 I SAW THEM. >> I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT MY 39:21 ELDER, I WAS SO CONVICTED. I JUST TO HIM JUST READ IT. 39:30 >> WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD WHICH HAS BEEN 39:33 BROUGHT OUT HERE. I REMEMBER, THIS PERSON HERE, 39:36 I'LL TELL YOU, IF YOU'RE OPERATING FOR SOULS, IF YOU'RE 39:39 OPERATING THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW THE VOICE OF GOD AND TO DO HIS 39:42 WILL AND YOU'RE OPERATING LORD, TODAY, LEAD ME TO SOMEBODY, I'LL 39:47 TELL YOU THE SOMEBODY ONE TIME MANY YEARS AGO, I WAS IN 39:51 CONSTRUCTION. I WENT INTO THE LUMBER YARD THAT 39:53 MORNING AND I'D BEEN OPERATING, GOD DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN 39:57 UNTIL I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT YOU. 39:59 I DID THAT FOR YEARS AND EVERY DAY, I DON'T CARE WHERE I WAS 40:03 AT, THEY SAY THE NORTH 40 BUILDING A HOUSE, GOD SENT 40:07 SOMEBODY. THAT DAY NEVER PASSED UNTIL 40:10 SOMEBODY CAME THAT WOULD LISTEN AND WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS. 40:13 THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO LOST DIRECTION. 40:18 THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND ENDED UP 40:20 WHERE I WAS AT. I WENT TO THE LUMBER YARD AND 40:23 GOT SOMETHING. I STARTED TO WALK OUT. 40:25 BEFORE I DID, I GLANCED BACK AND I SAW THIS BIG BURLY GUY 40:31 STANDING THERE AT THE DESK. AT THAT TIME, HE DRANK A LOT OF 40:34 WATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE HIS STOMACH WAS PRETTY 40:38 POOCHED OUT AND HAD A BIG BEARD. SOME OF YOU WILL GET THAT THE 40:41 NEXT DAY AND BIG BEARD AND SO ON. 40:43 I LOOKED AT HIM AND WENT BACK TO THE DOOR AND SO YOU AT THE DOOR, 40:48 THE LORD SAID, KENNY, YOU GO BACK IN THERE AND INTRODUCE 40:52 YOURSELF TO THIS MAN. I SAID LORD, I'M DEFINITELY NOT 40:54 GOING TO DO THAT. I STARTED TO GRAB THE HANDLE OF 40:57 THE DOOR AND HE SAID KENNY, GO BACK AN INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO 41:01 THIS MAN. I SAID OK, I'LL DO THAT, BUT YOU 41:04 KNOW THIS GUY BACK HERE, HE LOOKS LIKE HE'D KILLAL GRIZZLY 41:09 WITH A LITTLE PIECE OF STRAW AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED 41:12 TODAY. YOU'LL KNOW THE MAN TO MAKE IT 41:14 MORE PERSONAL, LARRY WELCH BEFORE HE CAME A CHRISTIAN AND 41:18 PASTOR HERE FOR MANY YEARS. I WALKED BACK TO LARRY. 41:22 SEEN HE HAD WHITE PANTS ON, I FINISHED HE WAS A PAINTER OR 41:25 SHEET ROCKFISHER, WHATEVER. I STUCK OCCUPANT MY HAD AND SAID 41:30 HIGH, I'M KENNY SHELTON. HE LOOKED AT ME AND DIDN'T WANT 41:33 TO SHAKE HANDS. HE WASN'T GOING TO BE BOTHERED. 41:36 FINALLY I SAID WHAT'S YOUR NAME. HE SAID MY NAME'S WELCH. 41:41 I SAID THE SILLIEST THING, OH, YOU MEAN LIKE GRAPE JUICE. 41:50 HE SAID YEAH, RIGHT. BOTTOM LINE IS WENT BACK, 41:53 INTRODUCED MYSELF TO HIM. HE SAID WHAT ARE YOU BOTHERING 41:56 ME FOR, WHAT DO YOU WANT? ANY WAY, LONG STORY SHORT, WE 43:08 READS ENDED UP GIVING BIBE STUDIES AND HIS WIFE AND J.R., 43:15 AND OF COURSE HE BECAME PASTOR AND WORKED HERE MANY YEARS. 43:18 WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD. 43:19 >> WE DO. I WENT BACK AND INTRODUCED 43:34 MYSELF TO HIM. I SAID LISTEN, WHEN GOD SAID IF 43:38 THE PLAN OF WINNING SOULS, LISTEN TO THAT VOICE AND 43:43 RESPOND. IF HE SAYS TO YOU WORKING ON A 43:44 ROOF YOU GO TO YOUR AUNT'S HOUSE AND YOU GIVE HER $75 AND I SAID 43:50 WHAT FOR? ARE WE TOGETHER ONLY? 43:53 $75. WHAT FOR? 43:54 SHE'LL THINK I'M CRAZY, GOT A GOOD JOB. 44:02 AGAIN, THE IMPRESSION COMES GO TO YOUR AUNT'S HOUSE AND GIVE 44:06 HER $75. SHE NEEDS IT TODAY. 44:08 WHY WILL SHE NEED MONEY FOR? SHE'LL THINK I'M CRAZIER THAN A 44:13 BAT. ANYWAY, THIRD TIME, KENNY, GO 44:17 NOW. I TOOK MY NAIL APRON OFF, GOT IN 44:20 MY TRUCK AND I WENT AND KNOCKED ON HER DOOR. 44:23 SHE SAID KENNY, HOW ARE YOU? I SAID YOU'LL THINK I'M CRAZY 44:28 BUT THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD SAID YOU NEED $75 TODAY 44:31 AND I WANT TO GIVE THAT YOU. TEARS JUST WERE GOING DOWN HER 44:37 CHEEK. HOW DID YOU KNOW? 44:39 I SAID I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND IT MAY SOUND 44:43 CRAZY, BUT HERE'S $75. SHE SAID THANK GOD. 44:47 IN ONE MORE HOUR, THEY WERE GOING TO TURN OFF MY POWER. 44:50 I NEEDED $75. I'M JUST SAYING RESPOND. 44:55 I'M GETTING GOOSE BUMPS NOW BECAUSE IT'S REAL. 44:57 >> I HAD THAT SAME EXPERIENCE. THAT PASTOR I WAS TELLING YOU 45:03 ABOUT INVITED ME TO COME TO HIS CHURCH AND PREACH AND I HAD. 45:07 THERE WAS THIS ONE COUPLE. I'D ONLY SEEN THEM A COUPLE OF 45:10 TIMES. WE WERE GOING THROUGH A 45:12 DIFFICULT TIME MYSELF AND I HAD BEEN SAVING UP CHANGE FOR A 45:18 CHRISTMAS FUND, AMOUNTED TO ALL OF $200. 45:24 I HADN'T STARTED MY SHOPPING YET BUT I HAD PREACHED AT THE 45:31 CHURCH. THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, I ASKED 45:33 THIS COUPLE, WHERE ARE THEY OR SOMETHING. 45:35 THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS I WENT HOME AND I'M GETTING READY 45:39 FOR BED. THE LORD SPOKE TO ME AND SAID 45:45 TAKE -- OR HE SAID TAKE SUCH AND SUCH OR TAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS FUND 45:50 TO THESE PEOPLE, THEY NEED IT. I SAID WELL HOW MUCH LORD, $25? 45:58 $50? HE'S SAYING ALL OF IT. 46:00 I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE LIKED TO BUY GIFTS 46:02 FOR EVERYBODY, AND THEN I WAS LIKE WELL, OK, LORD. 46:09 THAT'S NOT ME TALKING TO MYSELF. HE SAID NOW. 46:14 SO I'M CALLING AROUND. I CAN'T EVEN FIND PEOPLE WHO 46:17 KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE AND FINALLY SOMEONE, NOBODY HAS THEIR PHONE 46:21 NUMBER, THEY TELL ME WHERE TO GO. 46:22 I GO UP AND IT IS NOW 10:00 AT NIGHT AND I KNOCK ON THE DOOR 46:27 AND I HAND THIS GUY THIS NFL WITH THE $200 IN IT.-AND I SAID THIS IS A PRESENT 46:33 FROM GOD, HE TOLD ME TO BRING THIS TO YOU. 46:36 HE'S GOING LIKE WELL THANK YOU, YOU KNOW. 46:39 I SAID DON'T THANK ME, THANK GOD. 46:42 I TURNED AROUND AND I GOT IN THE CAR AND IN LEFT. 46:44 AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY, THEY CAME UP TO ME AND HE SAID I WAS SO 46:50 EXCITED WHEN I GOT TO $200. HE SAID I THOUGHT OH, I'M GOING 46:54 TO GET CABLE AND I'M THINKING REALLY, GOD, EASY GOING TO GET 46:59 KALE. HE SAID YOU KNOW, HE SAID THAT 47:01 MORNING, HIS WIFE HAD THE FLU. SHE GOT UP, ALL OF THEIR 47:06 ELECTRICITY WAS OFF. IT WAS OFF, AND IT WAS REALLY 47:10 COLD. IT WAS DOWN IN THE TEENS, SO SHE 47:13 GOT UP WITH THAT BUNDLED UP THEIR COUPLE OF KIDS AND SHE WAS 47:17 GOING TO GO DOWN AND IMPLORE, SHE'D GONE NEXT DOOR TO CALL 47:20 THEM AND THE ELECTRIC COMPANY SAID YOU'RE THREE MONTHS BEHIND, 47:23 IT'S OFF UNTIL YOU PAY THE WHOLE BILL. 47:25 SHE THEN BUNDLED UP THE KIDS THINKING I'LL TAKE THEM DOWN AND 47:29 MAYBE THERE WILL BE ONE LENIENT PERSON. 47:32 HER NEIGHBOR FROM ACROSS THE STREET WHO HATED HER, AS THEY'RE 47:35 DRIVING OUT, THE NEIGHBOR COMES, THIS WOMAN IS NOT EVEN A 47:40 CHRISTIAN. SHE SAID I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT 47:42 I'M SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU THIS $20. 47:44 SHE JUST THREW IT IN THE CAR. SHE DIDN'T LIKE HER. 47:48 SHE GOT DOWN THERE AND THEIR BILL WAS $219.27. 47:56 THE POINT IS THE REASON GOD WILL KEEP SPEAKING TO YOU IF YOUR 48:02 RESPONSIVE. CAN I SHARE TWO SCRIPTURES REAL 48:04 QUICK. I THINK FIRST WE HAVE TO BE 48:06 CONVINCE THAT HAD GOD WANTS TO TALK WITH US. 48:08 WE HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING PRIVILEGE TO TALK HEART TO HEART 48:14 TO OUR FATHER, GOD AND I EVER BEEN QUOTING FOR SEVERAL YEARS 48:19 BEFORE I STARTED LISTENING TORT LORD, THERE'S TWO SCRIPTURES I 48:23 HAD QUOTED, WELL MANY THAT TALK ABOUT HERING THE VOICE, BUT 48:28 ISAIAH 50, VERSES FOUR AND FIVE WITH, WHERE IT SAYS THE LORD HAS 48:33 GIVEN ME THE TONGUE OF A DISCIPLE AND WHERE I SHOULD KNOW 48:37 HOW TO SPEAK IN A SEASON TO HIM. HE WAKENS MY EAR MORNING BY 48:42 MORNING. HE WAKENS MY EAR TO HEAR AS A 48:47 DISCIPLE AS ONE WHO IS TAUGHT. THE LORD HAS OPENED MY EAR AND 48:51 IN HAVE NOT BEEN REBELLIOUS OR TURNED BACKWARD. 48:53 THIS IS PROPHETIC, TALKING ABOUT, IT'S A MESSIAHNIC PROFS. 49:16 PROPHECY. CAUSED ME TO KNOW THE WAY IN 49:20 WHICH I SHOULD WALK, FOR I LIFT UP MY SOUL TO YOU. 49:23 TEACH ME TO DO YOUR WILL FOR YOU ARE MY GOD, YOUR SPIRIT IS GOOD. 49:28 LEAD ME IN THE LAND OF UPRIGHTNESS. 49:30 REVIVE ME, OH LORD, FOR YOUR NAMESAKE, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS 49:36 SAKE, BRING MY SOUL OUT OF TROUBLE. 49:38 I THINK AS WE RECOGNIZE THAT GOD WILL LEAD, THAT HE DOES WANT TO 49:42 SPEAK WITH US OR COMMUNICATE WITH US INDIVIDUALLY, AS HIS 49:47 CHILDREN, THEN I THINK WE CAN LEARN TO OPEN UP OUR HEARTS TO 49:51 RECEIVE THAT. >> WELL SAID.-I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL A QUICK 49:55 QUESTION, BUT I WANT TO DO THIS QUICKLY. 49:58 THIS IS FROM BLESSINGS. IF YOU WILL SEEK GOD AND BE 50:05 CONVERTED EVERY DAY, IF YOU WILL -- FULL ON YOUR OWN 30UAL CHOICE BE FREE AND JOYOUS IN-úGOD, IF WITH GLADSOME CONSENT OF 50:19 HEART TO HIS GRACIOUS CALL, YOU COME WEARING THE YOKE OF CHRIST, 50:24 THE YOKE OF OBEDIENCE AND SERVICE, ALL YOUR MURMURINGS 50:29 WILL BE STIFLED. ALL YOUR DIFFICULTIES WILL BE 50:32 REMOVED AND ALL THE PERPLEXING PROBLEMS THAT NOW CONFRONT YOU 50:37 WILL BE SOLVED. GOD IS MORE THAN WILLING AND 50:43 ABLE TO GIVE YOU DIRECTION. HE WANTS TO DO IT, HE WANTS TO 50:47 SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS, BUT YOU LAY THEM BEFORE HIM WITHOUT 50:51 CONDITION. >> IF IN YOUR EXPERIENCES, 50:53 SHELLY, JOHN CAN BE KELLY HAS GOD ALWAYS MOVED YOU IN THE 50:56 DIRECTION THAT TAKES MORE FAITH THAN THE DIRECTION THAT TAKES 50:59 LESS FAITH? LETS WRESTLE WITH THAT JUST A 51:02 LITTLE BIT. >> SO BE VERY CANDID WITH YOU, 51:06 EVERY PLACE WE HAVE GONE HAVE BEEN FAITH WALKS. 51:09 MY MOTGAGE SAID HERE WE ARE BRAND NEW MARRIED, NOT EVEN A 51:12 YEAR YET, WE GET THIS CALL TO JOIN A GROUP. 51:15 HAD NOTHING, REALLY. SHE SAID GO. 51:17 THAT OPENED THE DOOR FOR DESIRE TO MINISTRY. 51:20 PRAYER, GO. DON'T SEE ANYTHING. 51:22 THE FAITH WALK WAS, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SAID WE HAVE IT YOU 51:26 TO COME FOR ONE YEAR. IT ENDED UP BEING 11 MONTHS. 51:30 IN OTHER WORDS, I'M MOVING ALL THE WAY TO CALIFORNIA WITH NO 51:34 INSURANCE, PROMISES, NO CONTRACT, NO EMPLOYMENT 51:36 CONTRACT. YOU GOT 12 MONTHS TO PROVE 51:38 YOURSELF. THEY ADVANCED ME ONE MONTH. 51:40 YOU'VE GOT 11 MONTHS NOW. AFTER THAT, THANK YOU BUT NO 51:44 THANKS. AT THE END OF THAT 11 MONTHS, I 51:46 GOT MY FIRST CHURCH FOR TWO MORE YEARS BUT AT THE END OF 22 51:50 MONTHS, I GOT A FULL CALL. THAT'S NOW GOING ON 30 YEARS. 51:53 YOU GOT TO WALK THOSE FAITH WALKS. 51:55 THE THING THAT I DISCOVERED, I FOUND THE QUOTATION, I WANT TO 51:59 SHARE VERY QUICKLY. WHEN THAT GOD IS LEADING YOU, 52:03 THE DESIRE OF YOUR HEART IS SO HUGE. 52:05 THE DESIRE OF MY HEART AND ANGIES WAS TO BE INVOLVED IN 52:08 MINISTRY. I VERBALLY TOLD ANGIE. 52:15 SHE SAID WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET, I WANTED TO BE IN MINISTRY. 52:20 TIME IS GOING TOO QUICKLY. THAT IS SAD, WE NEED TWO HOURS. 52:26 WE TOOK ALL OUR TIME ON THE FIRST HOUR. 52:29 HERE IT IS, FEBRUARY 2, IT BEGAN BY SAYING BEWARE OF STOPPING 52:36 YOUR EARS TO THE CALL OF GOD. >> COME ON. 52:38 >> I'M ASKING GOD TO GUIDE ME. THEN IT SAYS OUR PERMISSION IS 52:43 NEVER ASKED AS TO WHAT WE WILL DO AND WHERE WE WILL GO. 52:46 IS HE PUNCHING ME? I'M TAKING SMALL EXCERPTS, WOE 52:54 BE TO THE SOUL WHO TRIES TO PUT THAT FOOT IN ANY OTHER DIRECTION 52:58 WHEN THAT CALL COMES TO HIM AND BEWARE OF COM COMPETITORS WHEN GOD 53:04 DOES GRIP YOU.
