More Than Conquerors: Standing Through Persecution and Preparation

Not after. In the middle of you acting crazy. Never mind. I can't say that. The kids in here. In the middle of you Yep. Wilding out. Yep. That part. Yep. In the middle of you being that freak, Nick, 96, 97, 94, the middle of you club hopping, the women oh, the why are you going from women to women or men to men?

Get it going because god is not just telling you stuff just to be telling you. God ain't putting stuff in your spirit just for it to be there and just dissolve and go nowhere. He is sitting there saying, you prayed in 2006 blank. Now I'm speaking to you. You prayed in 2020. Now I'm speaking to you. And then some of you and many of us are benefiting off the prayers of our big mamas, our mamas, our forefathers because they prayed for us, and their prayers have traveled through time.

Paul sits there and said, keep the water on the outside of the boat because once the water gets inside of the boat, it begins to sink. And what you gotta do for some of you is you gotta get the water of depression, of anger, of bitterness, of frustration, of turmoil outside of the boat so that you can stay on top and not begin to sink. He sits there and says, I have survived, dear brothers and sisters, persecution. [00:11:56] (30 seconds)  #StayAfloat

Let me tell y'all something. Waiting, it ain't easy, and waiting is annoying. Yes, sir. Because when you're waiting, the thing that you're battling is yourself. Because listen, it's one thing to tell your kids to sit down, but can you tell yourself to sit down? It's easy to tell your child, hey, sit down and be quiet. But can you tell yourself, sit down and be quiet? Can you tell yourself, hey. Just sit here and wait. But I don't wait it. [00:21:04] (42 seconds)  #WaitingIsHard

Your mama prayed for you while you was wilding out. Your mama prayed for you and said, that's better in you. Your wife sits there and says, I still believe in you. Your auntie sits there and says, there's still greatness on inside of you. He says, if you combine that together, there is nothing on this planet, on this earth, in this church, at your job that can stop you from being the person that God called you to be. He said, you're more than conquerors, and he sits there and said, I'm still standing. [00:37:37] (36 seconds)  #FamilyFaithSupport

But not only, dear brothers and sisters, have you survived persecution, but watch this. The next thing, I've survived preparation. See, persecution, dear brothers and sisters, is one thing, but preparation is another thing. Because persecution, if y'all just go back and study this, it means somebody else did stuff to you. But preparation is when god sits there and says, not yet. Preparations means means to sit down. [00:19:44] (39 seconds)  #PreparationNotPersecution

It can't listen. All this text text kept saying, and I appreciate this text as I try to bring it to it kept saying, you can't be separated from god, and the devil understands that. But what he can try to separate you is from other stuff. Come on. So he sits there and says that watch this. He sits there and says, I can't separate you from god, but I sure enough can try to separate you from the goals and the dreams and ambitions of your life. [00:33:50] (34 seconds)  #ProtectYourDreams

See, what's messing some of us up is our perspective is screwing with us and it is making us think that we are not where it is that we need to be. But hold on. I walk by faith and not by sight. It might look like I'm not supposed to be here, but in this season of my life, God is teaching oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. God is teaching me something in this junction.
