69s
“When somebody you love goes home to be with the Lord, what keeps you standing? It's the roots. When your body doesn't cooperate, when your loneliness comes, when when circumstances change, when tomorrows suddenly look uncertain, what keeps the believer standing? A heart that is rooted in the word of god. Feelings change. Circumstances change. Guess what? People change. Our bodies change. sadly, the world changes. But god's truth, it it has never changed. See, the word reminds us when our our motions are uncertain that god is still faithful. The word reminds us when our strength is fading, that god's strength has not faded. The word reminds us when our future on earth becomes shorter, that eternity with Christ is getting closer. In other words, folks, one day we're going home.”
65s
“Pensando que nadie lo veía cómo defendía a las ovejas, sin pensar que nadie lo veía cómo le quitaba del del del del de las garras y de la boca del león a las ovejas, pensaba que nadie lo estaba viendo. Pensaba que nadie se daba cuenta de cómo él exponía su vida por defender a ovejas que no eran de él. Por eso, Dios nunca te va a confiar al pastorado si no sabes cuidar de ovejas que no son tuyas. Aprende a cuidar las ovejas que no son tuyas, y dios te va a honrar, dios te va a ayudar. Si sabes cuidar de ovejas que no son tuyas, dios sabe cuidar de ti.”
59s
“god gave me analogy that it's it's okay. God wants us to be about his business. Understand? He wants us to be be obedient to his word. He wants us to care for his people. But don't sacrifice taking care of his things. What he asked you to do was spending time with him. See, a father wants to spend time with his kids. Yeah. When I go into the house, when I was a young man, I used to go into the house. I I could do everything that my parents want me to do. I could go in and take the trash out like I'm supposed to, and I can clean the kitchen and make my bed up, but that don't mean I'm spending time with my my parents. That don't mean I'm spending quality and I'm doing what they asked me to do. But do not substitute your time in and singing in the choir and going to Sunday, going to practice, and and doing whatever we do in the church. Deacons, we all guilty of it sometimes doing the work but not spending the time.”
66s
“When you cook a cake, you got to not take it out too soon. Because if you take it out too soon, it's understained. And somebody said it over, it'll fall. You got to leave the cake in the ug until it rise. Somebody didn't get it. God is saying, I know your situation is high. But if I take you out too soon, if I let you understand, you gonna fall. You ain't gonna rise. And so God is saying, I got to let you stay in this situation. Let it get hot long enough until you rise. And so don't understate because don't nobody like a uncooked cake. You can't call it sweet cornbread. It's supposed to be a cake.”

“in every situation, meaning every situation. And I know English is English, but, see, sometimes we act like we don't understand English. See, because it says, do not be anxious about anything, and then it gives us an alternative because it says, but it says, but in every situation. So it say it says, instead of being anxious, instead of being fearful, instead of being worried, he says, in every situation, meaning every meaning every time, it doesn't mean 90% of the time, 95% of the time, 99% of the time. It means a 100% of the time. Here's what we ought to do.”
51s
“That mean wherever you go, the community always respond to you. What does that mean? No matter where you go, nobody may even know you in the city. They gonna say something to you. Amen. Knowing that you are a child of god. Forget the picture. As a priest, you draw what? People with problems. Perfection draws what? Imperfection. Righteousness draws what? Unright. So no matter how holy you get, you still gonna have to deal with some curses, some shooters, and some whores. Amen. And you may as well get used to it because god does not allow you to be around here influencing nobody.”
35s
“Well, let God deal with them. Okay. You know how God chose to deal with them? You. And the only way you're going to see that is when you allow that waiting period to help you to be able to carry the weight of that anointing and that power that God has for you. The world needs you full of power, full of the anointing, and full of the love and the character of God so that we can make a difference in the world around us.”
36s
“But I want you to listen very carefully this morning. Grow growing older doesn't mean that we have to grow colder toward God or toward others. See, there's a difference here between getting old and growing cold. See, growing old happens naturally. You you you can't stop it. But growing cold happens spiritually. See, growing old is a matter of years, but growing cold is a matter of the heart.”
41s
“But by the grace of God, we can refuse to grow cold, and that leads us to our conclusion. Church, growing old is unavoidable, but growing cold is not. You can have gray hair and a warm heart. You can walk and still walk closely with Jesus. You can have less physical strength and yet have a greater spiritual strength. You can lose some abilities and still possess something this world desperately needs, a faithful testimony.”
45s
“Espera, no trates de salirte antes de tiempo del proceso. No trates. Ama de casa, trata de de meter al horno un pavo que debe de estar ahí cuatro o cinco horas y tú lo sacas en dos horas. ¿Cómo va a estar? ¿Va a estar bueno ese pavo? ¿Va a hacer daño? ¿Le va a hacer daño? ¿Va a enfermar a tu familia? Así es el proceso. Si no dejas que el tiempo de dios se cumpla, te vas a hacer daño tú mismo y le vas a hacer daño a los demás porque no supiste ser paciente.”
