There are those that are saying, my life is not productive. My life is not getting anywhere. That's because you still want to live one foot in sin and you want to come to church on Sunday morning and say, praise the Lord, everybody. Come on out. And then when you leave those doors, you go right out back to your house and you got beer in your refrigerator. [00:44:07] (18 seconds)  #LiveHolyEveryday

God wants us to live for him every single day and those that have learned the blessing of living for God every single day say amen this morning how many have learned his peace is good every day his his love is abundant every day his miracles can come at any moment it doesn't need to just come on sunday but god can bless on a wednesday god can move on thursday god just wants somebody to do it his way you've got to be obedient to the spirit of god [00:44:52] (29 seconds)  #ObedienceBringsDailyBlessings

At some point, we've got to turn our mind on what God wants us to do and stop chasing careers. Stop chasing all the things of this life, wealth and fame and all the comforts of this life, and get to a place where we surrender our all to God and say, God, I want your will to be done. [00:51:46] (16 seconds)  #SeekGodsWillAboveAll

Obedience begins with surrender. I give it all to you, Jesus. God, make me and mold me the way you want me to be. I've been stubborn. I've been doing things my way. But God, I turn it over to you. [00:55:51] (15 seconds)  #SurrenderAndTrustFully

Somewhere on the line, you've got to turn it over to Jesus. He said, trust in the Lord with all of your heart. How many of you learned to trust in Jesus? With all of your heart. And you just take it to the altar, and you pray, and just let it go. Now, when you get it from the altar, you don't pick up your problem again. You leave your problem at the altar. You let it go. [00:57:16] (20 seconds)  #CalledToServeWithFaith

Whenever God calls you to do something, it's a spiritual work. It's a spiritual work. You're not going to believe this, but if God calls you to clean the bathrooms, we need a cleaning team here in the church. So many times throughout the week, you know, I've tried to come by, and I know Sister Morgan on Sunday morning tries to go there. We need a cleaning team. So God raises up some people, touches the heart. Hey, I'll clean the church. I can come an hour this week and help clean up. But if you're cleaning the bathrooms, did you know that's a spiritual work? God laid it in your heart to help out the work of God by taking out the trash. Now, you say, well, that's not spiritual. Whatever God is calling you to do, whatever God lays in your heart to do, that's his will. [01:00:31] (49 seconds)  #GodEnablesHisCall

Whatever God wants me to do, He's going to enable me to learn how to do it. And if God can do that in my life, why can't God do that for everyone else? Come on now. You can do whatever God's called you to do. As God calls you, you can do whatever God wants you to do. [01:03:20] (17 seconds)  #HealingComesThroughObedience

You can if the Spirit of God calls you to do it. God in me, if God before us, who can be against us? I can do God's work. Now come on, someone help me out. I can do what God tells me to do. I can do what God tells me to do. One more time. I can do what God tells me to do. [01:06:10] (21 seconds)
