I know you've been praising and singing and rejoicing, but that's just thank the Lord for our space in the building right now, church is the only place you can go where you can hug people you don't know and not be responsible, so what do I want you to do and before you know it, I want to explain to you the notion and the ideologies that suggest that something else has to do. that we are blessed is totally wrong the very fact that we are in a moment I am going to ask you to hug someone and tell them that I am glad I made it, but hey, don't do it yet because I want you to understand that I'm not talking about having come to service today, I'm talking about maybe what you had to go through to get to where you are now and you have to understand when you say it, even the one who says it won't know. what they are saying, but the person receiving it has some type of testimony that has occurred in their life that brought them to this moment.

Are you ready? Last night we were taught that we are all ministers, so let's go minister right now. I want you to just hug the person to your right or left with yourself, so he looks at your baby. I know you've been through some things. I know you have a head on

dark

days. I know you had some proven evidence. I know you cried yourself to sleep. At some point I know there are some people who didn't want you to be here, but I'm so glad you made it. You may have an enemy, but it will never be me.

I'm very glad you made it. Now put your hands together and thank God. for what God has done if your life paints no one make me like Jesus ok no one make me like the Lord you can sit grace and peace be a multiple enemy of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ it is with a spirit of great humility that I am behind this sacred tribune only by the mercies of God and the goodness of Pastor and Mrs. Jenkins, whom I want to honor in these perhaps in him in his presence, we go back a long way and even further back, Arch

bishop

. and co-pastor Alfred and Susie Olan are even closer and we are still getting started.

I have been preaching for them for over 30

year

s. I started when I was three

year

s old. Can you say man? I have a special guest in a new friend who is here tonight and I wanted to recognize that he is the president and CEO of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, mr. David Hinson and his guests, would you stand up? I want to recognize and appreciate you as a man, a man, and I call her the first lady of Baltimore, she is the wife of Senator, former Senator Elijah Cummings and the late Senator Elijah Cummings, Maya Cummings, would you please stand? god bless you god bless you our prayers and our thoughts are with you our greatest respect and consideration for who has been your husband in this country we salute you we honor you his legacy lives on through you come to church listen give him love in dignity the kind he's giving to all the

bishop

s and apostles and pastors and elders, and I know the protocol and I know how many names I'm supposed to mention, but when I wrote them all down, there were about thirty. and if I call everyone by name I won't be able to preach tonight you know one thing if you are special to me you know it because I am not a fake and you are special to me all the time but my regards and my respect to all of you in your respective places, although I said I know and those I don't know, most of you do and we go back through the years.

I appreciate those on stage as much as the quorum of ministers and elders on the floor around us comforts us with their presence that comforts us the Bible said that in the multitude of counsels there is security and these this spirit of the lone ranger that I see prevailing today is dangerous and certainly Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto, a man my mother used to say, if you see a tortoise sitting on a fence post, it didn't get there by itself. Amen, and so we are comforted by our unity, our combined strength, and our combined expression of ourselves and If you are looking at this garment and I got along while ministering in Abuja, it was a gift given to me from Nigeria to celebrate my ancestry and my culture. , since my descendants came from West Africa and were Ebo by tribe.

It's an evil Camino and for me it just reminds me that my story didn't begin in Chains, naked at the bottom of a ship, that may not mean anything to you, but every now and then I like to remind myself that we were a people . and we have a people and we are connected to a people and there is a bridge between us and everyone who has enough common sense to understand the power of history, they applaud and think about the law and, besides, I think a man looks great like a man. I want to take a moment and mention to you that I've gotten out of my normal routine and do a lot of different things, but as you get older you start to think about legacy and one of the things I want to make sure of is that the gift of articulation, the speech, preaching, power and relevance remain on earth, which is why we just lost Jake's divinity schools.

It's not that there aren't many options and schools of theology, but that there are very few theology schools founded by people. who really did the work and there is a difference between learning and doing there are some things you learn on the job that you don't learn in a book that helps better prepare and facilitate not only the theology but the types of leadership it requires to navigate through the vicissitudes of the times we are in, it complements what we are trying to do with Jake's Divinity School because the leaders who come today are going to need a different insight than their parents, come on, talk to someone.

I am very lucky to have dr. Antipas Harris, who will be the dean of Jace Divinity School and we have a table set up in the back, I don't know where, dr. Harris is, but could you please stand up? Let them see you as a man. We have a table in the back for those of you. It is an online bachelor's degree. Master's degrees in theology and leadership are available. JDS degree programs are fully accredited. Due to our partnership with established universities, if you would like to learn a little more, visit the JD table in the main lobby and take advantage of that information.

Coming up, I will briefly mention that I am doing a leadership conference. April 30 was the second and throughout history we have been doing the number one leadership conferences. I have never seen the response as fast as we have had this year. We have already passed from where we were when we arrived. the Leadership Conference in terms of record and I think it's because the United States knows now more than ever how much we need great leaders there is a shortage in our society not of titles not of titles we have many titles but not many leaders of all At the level of our Society, from the family up, we need great leaders, not people who occupy positions, but people who can take us further and further to where we are trying to go, because if you can't quantify movement, you can't.

A leader is stationary. just because you're stationed at the front doesn't make you a leader, attack someone, the other thing that's exciting is that I've been able to gather some of the people that come in, they're people. that I've been trying to get for three and four years, some of which we've announced and some of which we haven't announced and all the worlds colliding between entertainment business entrepreneurship in America and church leadership, they're all going to be represented there, all of them. from a Tyler Perry, who just did something absolutely fascinating and Atlanta that goes far beyond Madea, one of the Hollywood headlines here.

Madea built the largest studio in the world. Their studio is larger than all the studios in Beverly Hills combined. And come on, someone bought it and built it themselves with no ownership or control from outside sources and built it on a Confederate Army base, so there has to be something more to this guy than wigs and makeup. There's something he did. Writes a man thoughtful enough to honor all those who are gone. Before him, I want to hear what he has to say, great leaders like David Dave Stewart of St. Louis, who founded worldwide technologies with $250,000 and turned an African-American man who we rarely see out to speak, teach or speak, into a multi-million dollar corporation. train and the surprising thing is that he gives God the credit for his success in construction. a tech empire, he is one of 13 black billionaires in the entire world and he is a born again, blood washed, clapping and stomping Christian of the living God, and I want you to meet him and after many years of chasing him, you know him as an actor and you know him from the film industry some of you even know he's a PK but I was finally able to book Denzel Washington to come and be a part of that meeting so I want to encourage you to sign up yeah.

I have a great preaching. I have excellent singers. I have all kinds of great people. People like Paula McClure have done incredible things in terms of being a CEO and a woman of color and a woman of faith. And I have a whole group of women who have done incredible things in the market, all my sisters make some noise. I'll say this quickly. I have been in a debate in my own head as people talk about mentoring and how important mentoring is and it really is, but I would suggest that modeling is as important as mentoring because you can mentor one person all day. all you want, but we generally succumb to the model that was placed in front of us and you can't participate if you don't see it. and that's why I want to put you in the room where it happens.

I want to put you in a place to hear a conversation you wouldn't normally hear to be exposed to teachings you wouldn't normally receive in all areas of your life. Because it doesn't do you any good to invoke glory on Sunday if you have to live in hell on Monday, talk to someone you missed a good opportunity to scream at, so I just wanted to mention that thing too on September 10th until the 12th She will be my last woman, You are loose. I will return to Atlanta, Georgia to kiss all my sisters goodbye and thank them for over 30 years ministering to women for an entire generation through the auspices of the woman You Are.

Loosed I think this is the right time and the right place. I was me two before me too existed. I thought I would get support from the sisters, but maybe they are not loose women here. Are there any women who have been released? Here I want you to come and let's go home with this and do a welcome service. Thanks again for your invitation. It means a lot in a world where relationships are rarely sustainable to have a 30+ year history of ministering every year for 30-some years in the same place, the longevity and survival of relationships, can you tell?

Man, I was lucky enough to get into town early enough to hear Pastor Brady and I know I think it's wrong that you had the excellent Pastor John before me because he's younger than me and has more energy than me he and he his mind is young and his thoughts are quick and now my mind is arthritic and I can't move as fast as before but I thought I did it because I loved him so I went ahead and endured it and then his pastor Brady came and spoke last night and I was praying for her and I was pushing her and telling her to go ahead and preach until I realized I had to preach tonight. and then I said, don't break it all, say something amazing.

I am so happy to see Mantle's passing of the torch ministry continuing. It would be a scary thing if everything we worked to build died with us, so why did we do it? and that's why I just want to hate mom, she said quickly, I won't be long because she'll take a lot, you know, some word junkies up here, I'll be here tonight and I'll be back in the morning.and What started out as a Leadership Summit but now many of you are starting to sneak in. I don't know what it is that we do in the morning, but whatever it is, thank you for your love and thank you for your support.

Over the years I sincerely feel that everything I am and everything I ever hope to be I would give first of all to God and second to the love of God's people, if you did not exist I would not exist, amen and I thank you for giving yourself. a big round of applause in the book of Genesis, a very familiar passage of Scripture. I will share with you chapter 1, verses 1 to 5 of the book of Genesis, I wrote it with staples Bishop, that was all I could do not to share what the Lord put in my heart with him and especially after everything God has made by him.

I know I said I wasn't going to say any names, but I have to say his name out loud because cancer tried to take his name from the earth, this, if you would just stand up and let cancer create a user interface, yeah, yeah , all the doctors he had said he wouldn't see 20/20, but look at him standing there, all dressed up and praising God, even a cool event, something that screams. that's the cry about that something cry about stand up and look at the book of Genesis chapter one verse one through five, so to all of you who are streaming online I invite you into the presence of the Lord as we go to the book of Genesis chapter one verse one to five thank you for logging in from anywhere in the world and if you know anyone who may not know we're here, send them a tweet, send them a pigeon to their house and tell them to log in properly.

Now because God has spoken a word that prepares our hearts for

2020

and we must listen to the word of the Lord, can you say that man and

dark

ness were on the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters and God said? let there be light and there was light and God saw the light that was good and God divided the light from the darkness he called night this is what caught me and the evening and the morning were the first day that is what caught me and the evening and the morning was the first and when I started to meditate on it, Gus said: I want you to preach that when you get to the seed, when you get to the DMV, tell my people not to let the darkness be so deceived by obedience and in Miley , your attempt to comply with the dictates and demand of my superior officer.

I want you to touch someone and tell them: don't let the darkness

fool

you and the evening and the morning were the first day they stand. I want to pray with Wait a minute, I know some of you have those kind of knees and want you to sit up quickly and then some of you made conscious silly mistakes called red soled shoes in this parking lot and your toes are screaming, but I would prefer deliverance . throw them away and be comfortable, amen, to be suffering and so that no matter what happens in

2020

, we can handle it because we have heard the word of the law speak Lord for all seven years in the name of Jesus, we pray that someone shouts amen. can you sit in the presence of the Lord there is no there are all types of people all generations all colors of classes all cultures that have gathered in this assembly today they have told me that our overflows are almost full capacity tomorrow they will do everything they had to accommodate the crowd and we are all kinds of people but we are very diverse we are white and we are brown and we are black and we are young and we are used to being young and we are and we are Penn and we are used to be Penn and we are fit and we have fit photos to show that we used to be fit there all kinds of boomers and Millennials and Generation life that you wish would change and that means we live and hope and pray and with expectation your person Africa says: I can't wait for 2019 to end because We have a tendency to think that a new date, a new year and a new decade ensure our new me, but the reality is that it is not the ticking of a clock that produces transforming power, but the Holy Spirit is not like God. waiting on a particular day and said if you move from this date to a new calendar date, I swear I will bless you, no, no, it's not that simple, the truth of the matter is easy, change is not easy, now this is going to be easy. it's going to be hard to hear because it's the antithesis of what you're used to hearing, you're used to hearing spin three times and God is going to break it and throw $20 on the altar and God is going to fix it and five ways to have a great marriage. and three ways to start your life over and eat this and you'll lose a hundred pounds and you'll take this deal and you'll be able to wear the dress you wore to prom again, but the truth of the matter is one day of not eating at Wendy's you're used to it. to the diet and you will not transform easily or quickly those who study trends in American companies suggest that to change not the building you can change the building quickly nor the name you can change the name legally and competently but changing the culture of an organization is quite difficult the culture of the individual the invisible aesthetics and rudiments that accompany an entity is difficult to change most experts suggest said one two three years at least to change the culture It's over that you can change the wallpaper, but change the culture of the organization it is not easy to change the culture of a church it is not easy to change the culture of a marriage it is not easy.

I have been doing marriage counseling for 43 years and let me tell you. When you see most couples, the culture of marriage is so ingrained that no one listens to anyone because everyone on both sides thinks they are right and yet they come looking for a change if they leave without the change because it is not coming. because you come to my office the change does not come because you took a diet pill the change does not come because you raised a bar for us the change does not come because they hired you a new CEO the change does not come because you changed the name of the entity the change does not it comes because you dyed your gray hair blonde because you don't even go places that don't give me a certain level of movement and you only come to church because I'm supposed to go to church go to the next level go to the next dimension someone say something work write I don't know sir II rhymes and fairy tales and but Dumpty the goose sat on the wall no, I would get that old and I would still be hungry, but don't let the gray hair

fool

you, huh, it's great, but I'm still hungry.

Boomer with millennial tendencies. Seven, yes, all the hungry people make some noise. If you're sitting next to someone, there's no hungry alcohol because you can't have the weight of a child around you right now. you're ready to move to the next level you have to be ready to move that's what's happening to you actually it's not the first book of the bible historically it's not the first book of the bible the book of Job would have been the first book of the bible but chronologically in the way our Bible is compiled Genesis comes first but the reality is that Genesis is actually born after a long narrative for those of us who believe in I am one of that bull that Moses wrote the Pentateuch that we understand about the time Moses received this revelation we are looking at creation we are looking back at creation Testament we say we are looking back we are not receiving an eyewitness account of creation from someone who was a stenographer taking notes while God created the things we They are not having the information that Moses has received from God when the book of Exodus chapter number 30 33 verse number 23 said ha ha ha I'm going to show you my back when he said I'm going to show you my back parts God was saying I'm going to show you my story I'm going to show you where it all began I'm going to show you God made many of the things you work on in the program is behind it amen I'm going to show you where it all began and took it as far as the human mind could go and as far as we could go, God says at the beginning, if you don't understand the bad parts of something, you can't break it if you don't understand it.

You can't change its origin if you don't understand its history you can't fix it. We talk a lot about destiny but we need to study history because history leaves clues. I'll help you with this. For me, psychology professors are the best predictor of future behavior is behavior. past if you learn that before you wouldn't have married who you married, I'll leave that alone, so next time you go that day say "I want to see your backsides", yes, yes, yes, no. No, keep your pants on, that's not what I mean, show me who your mom is and show me who your grandpa is, take me to your house and let me see how you talk to each other so I can understand how you define horrible because George is horrible. and Matobo can be two different things then God says to Moses I will show you my Moses takes out his pen somewhere in the clouds of glory in the fascial I am surrounded by the dust of the clouds of the dew of angels Moses takes out his thousand millions and start writing in the beginning God in the beginning God this is not the beginning of God in other words as far back as I can go it was still there david says from eternity to eternity you our God he said if you would roll back the curtain of time from the first day God was standing there he couldn't create it if he wasn't above him in the beginning God let them know the criteria to continue reading because God doesn't explain himself, he doesn't prove himself that's why mastisism is useless because God he does not appeal to our intellect to await his own origin or identity he requires us to embrace with faith his pre-existence before the evening in the morning was the first day I was there to make the first day become The first day, in the beginning, someone shouts God, if you don't accept it, you can close the book now.

The problem today is that we know a lot about the church but we know nothing about God, so we sing songs about ourselves to ourselves. entertain ourselves where we used to sing about God we used to sing about his faithfulness and his greatness and his strength and his power and now we sing about ourselves because we only want God so that we can have a better us but in the beginning God, I pray would return the name that the people would start yelling about God and not about cars and not about shoes not about promotions and Ron about new places it used to be an old church, I know I wouldn't like it if we didn't have stains- the glass windows and the pews were a little hard, but when we started singing about God, the glory would fall on the building in the Spirit of the Lord, because when you were a Christian back then it meant you loved God, not the scenario He presents. people no dates no chance with God with God are all with me for a little while in the beginning and the earth was without form and void and darkness covered the face of the deep and the Spirit of the Lord moved over the face of the waters, the word moved there in Hebrew reminds of a suggestion sitting on an egg, it means meditating, meditating means incubating, meditating means incubating and what excites me is that God skips the earth in the chaos that he sat on the kale, see why the people of today I just think that God is attracted to perfect situations but you have a God who is so

powerful

and so infinite in his origin and authority that he doesn't mind plotting chaos you should scream right there you don't have to but you should shoot right there because despite that you look good and you smell good and you're dressed and even though you did your hair and even though your extensions match your hair and you look so good and this smells so good, you know you're a mess, yeah.

Yeah, I wish you'd be funny because I'm going to ask your husband. You know your chaos. I'll call your wife on the phone. Your children know your chaos. And the only reason we were saved in the first place is because God sits down at certain times. These are the types of times when all our establishments and institutions are going through a metamorphosis and we are not sure where they are going. These are chaotic times or even those of us who are in the church are struggling not only with spiritual issues but emotional and mental issues. I came to my church one Sunday they told me, they said pastor, there is a young man in the back of the church and He is dancing like David and I thought, well, let me even let him dance for a long time and then they tell me that he is naked and I told him, yes, pastor, he took off all his clothes in the hall and he is dancing and he says that he is David and that he is naked, he's completely naked a few weeks later a lady came running through the church spring air freshener and said that was her ministry and the reality is yes, he laughs.

I know everything they want, but they have some people here at the DMV. There are also some weird things going on and some strange things too. The reality is that people are imploding due to chaos. I can remember when Big Mama, the mafia and grandma kept the whole family together and every time you had marriage problems you would go to grandma and while grandma was making cookies she would talk into your head and say girl, have you lost so mad that you need to shut your mouth and recover? together, but now Big Momma can't remember her namebecause he has Alzheimer's because they are succumbing to the chaos and there are some situations in your life right now that you may not want to admit because you don't want to blow your cover because you are dressed and dressed better than you really are, but there are some situations in your life right now when you need God to sit down, you even need to sit down before he explodes, you need to sit down before he goes crazy, you needed to but think about it and you're hungover and work, some of you have some kids that you wish God sit on you, you said everything, you know how to say it, you did everything you know how to do, you need the Holy Spirit to arrest him. but the problem with parenting is that parenting is a process and we don't have time for the process, we have to finish the service in 90 minutes and if he doesn't hatch it in 90 minutes it never hatches, tell us how long God was meditating before. he saw the change that used to be and I'm not trying to take us back, but I can remember what we locked up and stayed all night the main mourners of the Baptist Church the Pentecostal church were 30 day gold fairs and five weeks of

revival

and for Some of the demons we're fighting right now God can always take you out at 9:00 sharp, I wish we had some people that would let God meditate on your life in Harbor and talk to your life, and I know you're going through therapy , you should go for therapy, but while they're working on your suicide until you're happy alone, I mean, no TV or no Facebook, no Instagram, no Twitter, no company, no swiping left until you're happy just because you keep inviting people into your chaos and then you cry because they won't stay oh it's going to be hard tonight and I'll tell you better pray for me I feel like this is going to be a two tile night tonight there are some strong ones that have been going from generation to generation well, we need a brooding presence of God, not a One quick touch of bass microwave from God, not a turn three times and I'm fine, no, no, no, no, for some of this, we need the reflection of the Holy Spirit, just sit on us, fill your hands and say: "Be still on me.

Shut up about me." means beyond me when I leave church brood about me means I'm giving I'm in the car and I'm still crying brood about me means I'm worshiping God in the shower brood about being means I'm the one praise God, as I wash, this is brooding over me, it means that you are coming into my life and you are changing things and you are bringing the greatness of me that has been every person in this room that wants you to give birth to. but I break his water someone, you come back to what God has within you and if you suspect there is greatness in you, open your mouth under this problem I have some but I have some in practice The fact that I have something about me Get over this. year I have to change the culture I have to change the circumstances I have to see some fool in my life if I have a witness in the house so sad that this is my year to achieve transformative changes of substance God says I'm going to give it to you, I'm going to take it away from you and I don't care what happened to you.

I'm going to break what was spit on you so I can take out yours that I put inside you for the woman inside me young man freedom makes me restless me restless me restless so I want to go against that sphere that keeps telling you that there is nothing in you and then , if there really was something in you, it would have already happened that We will gain the skipped spirit that has taken over our communities and that has made us give up on ourselves and lose hope in the possibility that we can do more that we can change more that we can be more against this right now, right?

I know chaos wouldn't be old yeah if God didn't have something inside you every person that's in chaos needs to start screaming because conflict is not sand and I'm worthless conflict is a sign that I'm valuable and what the scribe is cannot go a little further the movement of the spirit should only be a precursor to speaking about God the movement of the spirit should only be a precursor to speaking about God we get caught up in the movement of the spirit but we do not respect the Word of God and the only reason the spirit moved is so God could speak to some things, speak to him, you can't change the culture, you won't speak, I said you can.

Don't change the culture that everyone talks about I need God to talk about some things I need you to talk about some things and the cultural change begins when you see that everyone blames the other person and that is the enemy's way of deceiving you into thinking that the other The persona is the enemy that distracts you from dealing with the chaos in your own life that prevents you from having transformative thinking. You can't control anyone but yourself. I wish I had some people who would walk away on their own today and stop talking about what everyone else should be doing. do and say like our grandmothers did it's me it's me it's me so we've gone from the back to melancholy I'm almost done we've gone from the back to melancholy and we're about to get to the forward, yeah , the back, reflection on possibilities, reflection on potentials, the transformative power of cultural change means that evolution requires reflection, oh, it will simply be a revolution, but not an evolution, and we will continue to revolve around the same things. over and over again so that we don't see a true transformation because we are too busy rehearsing our own narrative.

Look, Marcus, change comes through the word, but if the word is not true, there is no change and until you challenge the story you have been telling. You yourself are not receiving a noticeable change because all you are doing is repeating your point of view to those of you who do not know your point of view and there is no life in your point of view and so on, after God had meditated in the Bible City He opened his mouth and clearly there is no neon, there is no LED light, there is no kind of light, there is no flickering candle light.

No, no, there is no oil lamp anywhere on earth in this complete darkness. Can I go a little deeper? But you must understand. that although we recognize darkness, darkness is not a thing darkness is not a thing therefore it is not quantifiable darkness cannot be measured like light because darkness is not a thing darkness in its origin is simply the absence of light that's why you can't have certainty watts of darkness because darkness is not one it's an absence I haven't overcome what I didn't get what didn't happen in my life something in my life that's why God said that darkness and light cannot go to live in cohabiting in the same space at the same time that is why the interest of our word gives light and where there is light the darkness has to flee because pride is not a thing in the first place it is the absence of a thing and when you bring what I brought I don't understand it, then the promptness can no longer stay.

Who am I talking to? I'm talking to someone's head. God is about to give you what you did not receive so that you will not live in the darkness in which you lived before. God is saying laughter, he is sad again San again lands in your pocket who says over and over again that you only demanded a breakthrough in three different areas of your life and I need 30 seconds of crazy punch Jass, this is the praise of the great move forward, but go The innovative defender laughs I hear you let the present hear you tonight came in that night - he shouted that what do you give him a pass people you better have some brain for what God called you to do you have to believe in it your spirit you have to believe in it your heart you have to rehearse it in your you have to say it with your mouth what when you go to shave I hit your Barrett all day with children thank you for right now follow me I feel something great too many here I feel something is broken here No I know what hunger was, but I felt something loose here.

I feel a breakthrough coming in this place right now, if you can feel it, shout now, follow my trend on point to lead. 2020 did not start on January 1st. because it's too late I was working in 2020 in 2019 you can't wait until you get there to start making plans you must already have something to stop this evolving right now Who am I pumpkin? That's why I have to preach the suits, it's none of the things I said before, that was good, but he has three and I had two pieces. Tex said I'm known as God, he said something that confused me, he said they gave me, what was the first thing I said that day, look, right?

I think you have a new day until the light comes in, but God says the day has begun, so he looks at this. God said I'm going to start your new day in your old darkness, what is it and the evening and the morning? What is the first father? Who else? God begins the work in your darkest hour, yes the night clears and I was on the phone and when I hung up the phone I looked at the text and the text at 12:01 said today and the text I received at 11:01:58 said yesterday, well when the text message said I arrived at 12:01, it said today I ran to the window and removed the black ones, but the clock said don't let the pack fool you You realize, Bishop, God's order of progression does not begin with the entry of light it begins with the darkness of the night and God said and the evening and the morning were the first day that means your darkest moments were not wasted your darkest moments your darkest moments your darkest your darkest your darkest your most chaotic your most confused your most annoying your most chaotic your most frustrated your most limited your most broken you are at peace you must forsake yourself your depressed was not in vain that the night uh if the night didn't exist there wouldn't be the first day the first thing that begins in the darkest moments of At night now I'm not going to preach to anyone except the people who are in the darkest moments of the night.

I want you to know that darkness is a sign that you have entered a new day and the Lord sent me here to tell you not to do it. let the darkness fool you don't let the liars booyah don't let the haters fool you don't let the lack of resources fool you you've already crossed over to a new day preaching in the darkness he said what I started was the evolution towards the light begins at night, but my people let the darkness deceive them and they honestly believe that because it seems dark there has been no change.

I said, "Prove it to me Lord," he said, "that's why I told you to walk by faith." not by sight, you can't wait until you see it to reach for it and claim it as your promise right now, boy, I'm preaching and then he told me that of all the miracles in the book of Acts, there's only one where I notice the time of every other miracle in the book of Acts. I never mentioned what time it was, but the Bible says that Paul and Silas were locked up in prison. Look at your watch, not in the morning at midnight.

Paul and Silas began to sing and praise God at midnight and God allowed Luke to write down what time it was to tell the church the best time to praise Him. I need you to lend me two minutes and I'm almost done. I don't want anyone who is walking in total blessing to praise him. Right now, for the next three minutes, I don't want anyone to praise him, people who are gone, David Hemming, I want a little midnight, praise us, praise, you have two minutes, you have a little at 4 o'clock, yeah, what with me, six, second?

I thought if I suck at things, Spock down to the second of sanity, twenty-five pockets a second. I'm going to stop. Let me summarize this dissertation as simplistically as possible for your consideration. The Lord promised them a new day. How many of you did he promise? a new day you want a new day in your business and your company in your life in your marriage somewhere you have a promise your new day simply said the Lord says the new day begins in darkness that's why every year in January people do resolutions and come for

revival

s, they join Weight Watchers, they do all kinds of things and if they don't see the light of day in 30 days, they give up until next year and go back to normal.

You have to build around you, people to see what you see in the dark because the word of the Lord to you is don't let the darkness deceive you the darkness is not proof that God is not with you the darkness is not proof that God is not on the other side darkness is not proof that your marriage will not work darkness is not proof that your business will not survive the darkness is not proof that your book will not sell darkness is not true that God has not given away darkness is not proof that you are not a legitimate shepherd darkness is not proof stop looking at who came and who did not come and who joined and joined and who left you and who did not stay with you darkness is not a sign of regeneration the evening and the morning came first this is the only phrase that God repeated over and over again every day my days will always begin in darkness so don't let the darkness he says he just wants to slap me my eyes said it was from night but my phone said yes I had to decide if I was going to believe the word I read or what I saw.

There will be massive cultural changes coming out of this room. A complete transformative regeneration. You will gather around you people who are not afraid to start the day. the darkness what is this stop fighting the darkness start preparing for the day so thebehavior this is important I have to say this I should have said this before the Holy Spirit brought it to me he said you came out without saying this the behavior you reward is the behavior they will repeat the enemy doesn't want you to think about a new day so he put you in the dark so that you would be so busy complaining about the darkness that you wouldn't reward what it brings you I know in my heart whether it's online whether you're sitting on the couch, whether you're sitting in the kitchen, whether you're parked in your car with your phone on, someone in this room, you're on the cusp of something so much bigger than you ever imagined, it's mind-blowing. this is not just a message of revival this is the word of the Lord do not be deceived by darkness I have ordained a new day for your ministry for your city for your church for your preaching for your corporation for your business for your vision for your family for your personal life for your finances I know your credit score is not good right now don't let the darkness every believer in this building join hands with another believer in this feeling and believe I am NOT asking you to believe what you see me to be By asking you to believe in what you can't see I am NOT asking you to believe in what works.

I ask you to believe in what doesn't work. I am NOT asking you to believe what you have received. I ask you to believe in what you are. about to receive I am asking you to let the darkness encourage you and that midnight Pablo and Salas released and sang praises to God and how they reacted at midnight determined what happened next suddenly there was a noise and a tremor and the Bible said the prison doors. opened his hands squeezing someone's doors they are about to open them on his life because at midnight all the prisoners came out everything that had been held back is about the shine squeeze man this is bigger than you with you everything I told my church in the lowest moment of Elijah's life he received the double portion he had been waiting for when all hell was breaking loose with tears streaming down his face and the chariot of fire has taken away his father he did not receive the double portion in his moments happy he got the double portion in his place of crying squeeze the hand there is a double portion reaching that brother there is a double portion for that sister there is a double portion for your life there is a double portion for your finances and your visit a double portion a double portion a double portion of them abortion is not just money, it will be flavor, it will be help, it will be relationships, it will be competition, it will be strength, but never cross that, so Pastor Jenkins keep that hand together as it was 12:01.

I got out my ironing board, grabbed my starch, and started ironing my clothes for the morning. in the middle of the night I was ironing my suit at 12:01 I was getting ready for the morning when I got into bed around 1 o'clock my wife said you must have gone to bed too late I told her I was getting ready for the morning tomorrow because I know the morning starts at midnight, what do you need to press? If you don't push it tonight, it won't be ready in the morning. You won't have time in the morning to prepare for this person. are touching each other you have to have enough faith to prepare for the light at night.

I will share more with you in the morning, but tonight I want you to focus on one thing. I will not let the darkness fool me when God says it is a new day. It does not depend on the committee, it reaches the board, it does not depend on the polls, it does not depend on the census, it does not depend on the newspaper, it reaches the neighbors, it does not depend on the websites, it does not depend on the bloggers, when God says it is a new day is a new day I better start ironing my things I better take off my socks I better clean my shoes because I won't have time in the morning to get ready God said the blessing is going to hit you so fast that if you don't are you ready for it you won't be ready you have to go right now squeeze that hand why didn't God give Eli the double portion when it happened to him why have you been that it was given to him when he was at Gilgal why did he wait until he crossed the Jordan and lost his father?

He renounced his natural father to find out why the double portion came when tears flowed from his eyes. It's always because Dave starts at "I hope you're touching someone who's been crying. I hope you're touching someone who's been stressed and they've been broken up and someone's abandoned them and their heart's been broken and they've been through hell on earth." hot and I hope you." you're touching someone who's been dealing with things you couldn't even talk about and to the point of breaking your double caution comes when you least expect it father, I thank you right here and I thank you right now for what you're doing. doing with every hand that is touched and every open heart I feel the urgency the fierce urgency the fierce urgency of right now a tick of a clock and they changed an centimeter of the hand and the date changes one click of a number and the day changes the darkness was stubborn but the day came anyway and little by little the light pushed back the darkness let there be light the things I am preaching about are serious Lord there are forces trying to stop the light in the lives of your people let there be I know Like me, something was holding back the light, let there be light, I, something was holding back the light, whatever the restriction, make a joke of it now, let hope spring from the inner cracks of our hearts like cracks on the top of a mountain filled with the volcano, let it erupt. within our spirit, may dreams, visions, concepts and processes erupt from the fiery furnace of our tribulation, may the air be filled with smoke until everything around us is affected by the fact that something in the inside broke through the outside and you had something tonight you attached something right here at Clinard Baptist Church you improved a business a company a dream a change of deliverance an entire farm with mothers an accounting office of ministry and outreach a prison relationship let it something be hats thank you for thank you for in the name of Jesus Amen, let go and go for yourself go for yourself go for yourself go for yourself right now right now I want I want everyone who can have 77 dollars in your hand right now only 77 dollars I'm believing in God for a double portion in every area of ​​your life this year a double portion in every area of ​​your life everyone who can if you have 70 70 dollars and a $5 coupon for Pepsi two dollars in Green Seals I am believing God for a double portion pastor, please don't give up on these meetings, there is a reason why people come from all over the country to be part of this meeting.

Some people set their agenda with this word that they know when they leave this place to not let the darkness deceive them. They know that they are on the cusp of a breakthrough. They know that they have to go back and transform the culture of the entire organization. The only bad thing. with your churches that their vision has stayed in you that is the only thing wrong with you your vision has stayed in you and if a sperm stays in a man there will never be a child that you will have to have with people who get it and reward them because They get it until other people get jealous of it and it becomes fashionable to be jealous of it. progressive I feel a shift from balcony back to overflow to online right now right now don't click don't move don't turn let's seal the deal with a simple leap of faith that you didn't have to sing the chorus you didn't have to dance with the dancers you didn't have to praise with the praise team this is the only thing only you can make a sacrifice from youth to God who says I understand and if what you believe in God, for seventy-seven dollars, pay for it and then go to buy it, but if it is just a seed of your dream, then you are creative, that is why God puts you in difficult situations, because you were created by a creator to be creative, that is why they You are giving me wishes, your mind and your chaos so that you can't think that there is something in you that will change your world.

Let it go. There will be no lines or surprises. This is a covenant between you and God. A secret promise between you and. em and I know there may be some people who can't do that, anything you can do as close as possible and if you have an envelope, I know some of you get it on your phone and this is old school. but if you have an envelope, write something that you can't see yet, let it be something that the darkness obscures your view, write it on the envelope if it is increasing my staff, if it is getting married, if it is having a baby, if it is owning my home, let's write the vision, let's bring the vision out of the darkness, let's bring it to the light.

I have won this this year, write it down correctly and declare it. I decree that they will help you make better decisions because everything that was It is not worth writing, it is not worth going after, it will tell you who to be with, what meetings to attend and who can take down what you just wrote. Is there anyone here who has something that is important to them? Write it down if you gave it know if you gave it your phone text tweet speak it turn it off declare it take your dream out of hiding and watch God do it for you formless fashionless unreserved are you ready are you ready are you ready? are you ready this is a moment stand up with your seat in your hand no one leaves anyone very free i can't say no one but very few people came as far as i went to be here you are watching online get up to this get up your seat get up your phone, whatever you give them on your iPad, your glasses, you know, some of you have a double zero seven, your glasses have cameras.

I don't know, raise it higher, father, just as surely if they raise their hand. to give raise your hand and receive and let a double portion of what you promised be caught by your faith today in the name of Jesus. Amen, pass it all the way down to the left, the person on the left remains standing with everyone's seat in your hand. pass it all the way down to the left all the way to the left except if you handed over your phone do not pass your phone down the person on the left is standing the ushers are receiving from the person left standing can you do that, yes, everyone got it, they're good at this, give me five minutes, I'll be out of the way, see what you don't know is that one Friday night Owens cook and the reason I had to do it. start preaching, they said there are tomatoes, greens, cabbages, chicken and potato salad and you won't go with me every year.

Suzie and I fight over who can cook the best banana pudding. Do you love banana pudding? I sure want it. You could have something, I mean, they're fierce, but then I met Brooke, bro, these bananas have such an anointing of glory that God, you take a bite of them and you're happy down to your toes. I know it and I'm translating it. I'm kidding everyone except these pagans and pescetarians, all the astronauts and all those other things that everyone eats, man, you're supersonic, eat us, so we all eat grass. I know you look better than me, but I'm happy that you're cute, but you're hungry. you did how many people I'm glad I came tonight I'll be here in the morning at ten ten o'clock ten o'clock to conclude the whole conclusion of the matter I have a lot to tell you there are some things I can say during the day that are more appropriate during the day day that night they have a different flow for them a different feeling for them bow your heads with me for a moment while the deacons and ushers go about their business bow your heads close your eyes for a moment because when you close your eyes you can't see no one with you or any music, do you know that God knows that you are trying to do his job without his presence?

Are you trying to experience transformation through your own flesh? are you your own doctor? The Fool has himself as an advocate if you are in this room and you walked away from him if you are in this room and you don't know him if you are in this room and you let someone get on your nerves so much that you walked away from your god this It is the last night of revival, how long will you allow pain and bitterness to seclude you, isolate you, and alienate you from having a vibrant functional relationship with God? Listen, no, you don't have to be perfect to be his son.

You don't have to be perfect. Nobody in this room is perfect. Everyone in this room is flawed in some way. Christianity is not defined by the purity of the follower, it is the holiness of our leader and he has such extravagant grace he has such extravagant grace that his grace is promiscuous if you want something you can have some if you have footprints on your arm you can have some if you're HIV positive you can have some if you just get off a stripper pole you can have some if you have a secret so dirty you can't tell anyone you can still have them if your mom stops talking to you and your dad kicks you out if your uncle stops talking to you raped if you've been abused if you've been sexually abused if you've almost blown your brains out Grace is so promiscuous you might have something she's walking down the hall flirting with you right now giving you a chance at eternal life She may have more degrees than a thermometer, but if you don't have Jesus, your food, you are in this room and you don't carry Jesus.

Sure you can pretend, sure, you can say all the Christian colloquialisms and act like you're one. of us and yes you can even fool us but you can't fool him please don't let thisservice closes without giving your life to Christ, not to me. I'm a guy like you, neither better nor worse. I'm just you, freshly made. of dirt and clay and spit and weirdos like you this is not about me this is not about this building you can remove the cross and turn it into a skating rink this is not about this building this is about a relationship between you and God you know you don't want to face this year without Jesus and you know you are not in a covenant relationship with him like you should be.

I'm going to ask you to have a lot of courage, great courage, great courage, it takes courage to admit that you need to change. I'm going to ask you to have the kind of courage that makes you stand up and say, "Pray for me. I need to change my life right where you are. Just stand across the building." I don't care what you're wearing I don't care what you look like I don't care if we have to wrap you in a blanket I don't care if you dressed in the best or if you brought a bagel and I want you to stand up and say: I need more for 2020 of what I had in 2019.

I need Christ in my life. Would you stand up? Would you have the courage to stand up to the balcony? Would you have the courage to put up with this family? say I need God to be the mom I need to be I need God to be the man I need to be I'm trying to be something I've never seen and I need God in my life get up I see you, I see you stand up, don't worry about the people and what they think, who they are anyway, what difference does it make who cares what they think who cares what they think who cares what they think who cares what they think who cares what they think They think you had the courage to resist Jesus had the power to die so that you could endure He died so that you could rise He died so that you could have the right to the Tree of Life He died so that there could be transformation That is more than pills This is more than therapy There is more than a makeover this is difficult he wants to give you a new heart those of you who are standing, I want you to come down to this altar and stand right in front of me and I just want you to have the opportunity to believe God with you to change.

I want you to come down at this time. I want you to come down at this time. I want you to come across this altar with as much courage as you know how. I want you to believe God for something that seemed impossible and seemed crazy to you and to see it ridiculous that it costs you nothing but will give you everything that I want to offer you today to Christ without form. accident and without routine without religion without reservation I came to offer you a relationship with God sup I need you to take me home with you someone to keep you awake at night someone to hold your head oh I wish I had a happy Church right now someone has me The door has come, Jesus, someone's mom has come to the Lord, someone's son they've been praying for for years and years has just come to Jesus, someone's husband has just come to the Lord, someone, someone , anyone, any man wanted to commit suicide, just walk down this hallway. and they gave their life to Jesus some came from a mansion some came from a refuge but they all came to the cross in a moment Pastor Jenkins and Bishop Owens are going to come and take you further in the service, but I want the privilege of apprehending with you I want to pray with you because one day I took a bottle of pills and I cried because I woke up I want to pray for you because I know what it's like to hurt so much that you wanted to I want to pray for you because I know what it's like to be hungry, I know what it's like to have children that I can't feed and I know what it's like to not have gas in my car and I know what it's like to have my car taken away and I know what it's like to have my meter taken out so that I can't turn on the gas with the cable and I know what it's like to sleep in a cold house and I know what it's like to go pick apples to feed my children because I didn't have any food and I know what it's like to be on the verge of being on the street I know what it's like to have a broken heart there are no pills for the heart Broken I know what it's like to have pain so bad that I thought I would lose my mind.

I know what it's like to let tears fall over an open grave and watch my loved ones sink into the ground and you can only suffer so much with your love, horror and I know what it's like to feel like it's me. so dirty that God could never use me and when he called me to preach I asked him to go find one of those good people because I felt that I was not eligible to be used by a God like him and 43 years later, before praying with If there is someone sitting there and you know in your heart that you should have been up here and you know I'm describing something that's happening in your life.

I don't want to pray until you get here and I want you to do it. muster up the courage to overcome your inhibition and run to this altar because this is supposed to be your day yeah, come on, yeah, come on, yeah, come on, yeah, come on, there's hope, there's hope, there's a fool. tear there he is as if there is a change let's go down you are not forgotten you are not alone you are not alone in this world you are not despondent you are not completely abandoned let's go down I want you under the canopy of this prayer I want the mantle of love of this church for you wrap in such a supernatural way that you will never be the same again let's go down let's go down my sister says Christianity is just a beggar telling another beggar where he found the bread and I want to tell you where I found the bread, come on, my God, still They are coming, my God, this tooth, oh my God, they are still coming.

This is what the DMV needs. This is what the White House needs. This is what the world. This is what the crack house needs This is what the church house needs This is what revival looks like It's not the same old church people with the same old testimony It's sweet Mac and Jimmy Jim and the I miss Freddy and all those who come down to the blood of the cross and the piety heater like that is the submission of the church there is nothing in your life that is happening so bad that Jesus does not hold you and love you to hell nothing nothing nothing I don't care what she did and who you did it with God loves you, yeah, don't let the darkness fool you, you've come for a new day, every believer standing pointing this way as we pray for someone's child, Every person who sleeps on the street is someone's child, every person in chains Consuming drugs and selling drugs was someone's baby that mom rocked in her arms and had a dream for her life.

Every person standing on the street or standing in the strip club or hanging from a pole was once someone's dream there on this altar and there. in this church and I want you to point them out because if we don't win this battle for them this may be our last chance and I would rather pray for you than bury you. I'm tired of going to funerals. I don't care if I never do another funeral in my life our church does 400 funerals a year I would rather see you at this altar they will see you in a box in front of it raise your hands and prepare for the change just like me I have no argument other than that Your blood was shed for me and you invite me to come to the old Lamb of God.

I come just as I am and hoping not to free my soul from a dog's blood and the one that can cleanse every stain of the Lamb of God just like that is all I can come and say I am that is all I can be as I am I will return I could experience The change that your word says is possible for those who believe I realize that my new day can begin at night And I may have things in my life that you have to work on, work on, work on, but I will never turn back because Right now, in front of all these thousands of people, I give you my life.

I believe you died on the cross. To have the right to the Tree of Life I believe that your blood is enough to buy my Redemption and right where I am and right where I kneel and with tears streaming down my face I raise my hands and open my heart and I give you my life wash me in your blood once my sins are gone once my shame is gone my guilt wash away my animosity my hatred my need for revenge and sabotage wash it all away wash away the curse of my past and my childhood look down the road the curses of the generations I passed through to get there where I am wash everything wash everything wash everything wash everything and I will be whiter than snow because Lamb of God I come father I thank you because I have the faith to believe that my life has changed by the power of your word father I thank you that I am going to walk On a new path I am going to move away from some old friends that I had in two new doors and new dimensions and new idioms of thought.

I thank you Lord, that my new life begins right now for me, this is January 1st for me, this It's about new year for me, this is the night when my new year begins for me, this is the time when I take the right path ready to run, thank you for it's in the name of Jesus
