He says, is there anybody left in the house that I can show kindness to? And if I had to leave you with anything this morning, this would be the title of grace. Is there anybody you can show kindness to? Who can you show kindness to? Because you know what? It's easy to look away. It's easy to show kindness to those who speak back to you, those who do something for you. It's easy easy for me to reciprocate that. That's not what he's talking about. He says, is there anyone that could show kindness to? [00:18:26] (32 seconds)  #ShowKindnessToAll

He doesn't ask us, are there anybody worthy? Come on, church. None of us are worthy. He don't ask that question. Is anybody loyal? Come on. There's no loyalty here. He don't ask, does anybody can walk in here on their own two feet? He don't ask that question. He asks, is there anybody left? Man, that's a powerful statement for the church. Is there anybody left on Red Butt Road? Is anybody on 17? There's anybody anywhere that I could show kindness to? [00:18:58] (32 seconds)  #KindnessForTheLeftBehind

You can move heaven's hand. You can pray someone into the kingdom. I have a niece many years ago. She was way off the train. My sister would come over, and we sit in that driveway, and when we get in that car, and, ma'am, we we would pray for hours in the car. I mean, I'm sure it was steam on the windows. Today, she's married to a youth pastor preaching the gospel. See, that's the power of prayer, and then see, that's what we're communicating that people can come to know the story of Jesus Christ, the same story that has shaped us, but it takes grace.

You don't have to have all the words. You have to be where he says be. Do what he says do, And then it's up to the holy spirit to do the work. He said, stand. I stood. He said, go. I went. I didn't know what I was signing up for, but I'm glad I did. Thirty five, thirty six years later, I'm still here preaching the gospel, still loving on people into the kingdom, and you guys are very much part of that. When you participate in these cards, you put in a tool on my hand to say, listen. Your name can be written in the lamb's book of life. Amen? [00:30:15] (35 seconds)  #ObeyAndLetGodWork

They said, well, I've never thought about that. I said, so when you lay your head on that trash can at night or behind that dumpster wherever you're at, say, God, if you're real, I wanna know it and see what happens. See, we have to put heaven on notice. See, we don't do that enough. We gotta take our rightful place as believers because now we're actually in a place that we can start interceding and pulling people into that place where they can know the same grace and the same joy that you and I have.

She's telling me the story. She said, she said, Joe, you know that guy you would minister to? He come in and wanted him to pray to him to receive Jesus Christ. He said, well, can we explain it to you? He said, no. He said, every time I put on his coat, the power of god comes all over me. See, when is the last time you spent time praying for someone? Listen. I'm not trying to make you feel bad because you didn't prayed eight hours, but when's the last time you were spent for somebody? [00:14:43] (28 seconds)  #PrayForSomeoneToday

I found him behind an abandoned Taco Bell. You know if Taco Bell left town, it's not a bad it's a bad part of town because Taco Bell's usually survives those places. And he looked at me. He now he looks he was thrown away now. He looked rough. He said, god don't talk to people like me. I said, who told you that? He said, look at me, man. He said, I know god talks to people like you. God don't talk to people like me. He says, I I was born. This is my lot in life. [00:20:55] (29 seconds)  #GodSpeaksToEveryone

we would be intentional about making the connection with those that we know we can connect with in some way and just encourage them in faith and healing and love when they go through something because Lodebar can be here. It can be in this service. You may have walked in crippled in your spirit this morning, but you can walk out of here at the king's table. Thank you, lord. Thank you for your mercy. Put a fresh hunger in every heart in this house to do the work and the will of Jesus Christ. Amen. [00:33:10] (46 seconds)  #FromLodabarToKingsTable
