Power to Praise in the Midnight Hour

when the church begins to walk in the power that God has given it, you won't have to have a social media program or any kind of marketing program because you never have to advertise a fire. It will be evident in your life because you will be glowing so brightly for god. People will be like, can you turn it down a little bit? No. I'll be like, go get you some sunglasses because I'm not dialing it back. If the light of God is coming through me, I'm not gonna do anything to diminish it. I wanna burn bright hot for him.

Sometimes hardship is not failure, it's resistance. I will not go where the enemy wants me to go no matter what it cost me. I will preach the gospel no matter what it cost me. I will take a stand in my family no matter what it cost me. I will do that because I believe in the most high God and he is showing me the way to be saved. Now that's the message.

You see, here's the thing. Stop making assumptions. Stop living by assumption because you're gonna get it wrong. This jailer, he assumed that because the doors were open, he he knew that if he lost the prisoners, it was death. And so he just went ahead and pulled his sword because he's just gonna fall on it and save everybody else from trouble. But in that moment, in the darkness, think about think about the eyes that God had given Paul to see through the darkness, to see what the jailer was about to do. He could not see him. He were in darkness and he yells out to the jailer, Don't harm yourself. We are all here. [01:15:17] (44 seconds)  #StopAssuming

See, what tried to break you may be may become what God uses through you. The very thing that tried to break you will be the very thing that God uses in your life. Just think about that for a minute. All the challenge and all the things that that that that you have experienced were not for nothing. That was a training ground, a proving ground so that as you move on into life, you'll be able to deal with those things because those same things are happening right in front of you in the life of your family. Except this time, you'll be equipped to meet the challenge. Amen. Because you have figured out what the schemes of the enemy really are. [01:30:19] (43 seconds)  #BrokenToPurpose

You have no idea what that does for somebody when they hear you calling their name out before heaven. Hear you pleading for their soul and their salvation. Hear you pleading for their life with tears and trembling on your knees, heart broken, and just crushed because of where they've gone in life and the decisions that they're making. And you are so determined. You're so dogged determined. I believe in him. He's given me hope and by God, I ain't gonna stop until they get it. I'm not gonna let it go.

You ever stand at the edge of a grave of your child, the one you got now, you'll to crawl through broken glass, through fire. You'll do anything you have to to make sure you can see their face. You're not going to you're not going to stop. You can have your principle and I get things ought to be done in order. I get all that but I'm going to tell you right now, I would rather walk into a a rebellious room and see my child than to walk to a graveyard and see a stone. Come on. I'm gonna tell you. Don't tell me days. I'm trying to help you live a life that when you get to heaven, you'll be able to stand before God and say, I did the best I could. [01:24:53] (45 seconds)  #FightForYourChild

I didn't say it would be easy and I sure didn't say it would be comfortable. Christianity is anything but a life of comfort. And if you have chosen Christ, you have chosen the most difficult life you can live in this world because it is contrary to everything that the world says. And that's why I think we've had so much disillusionment in the church as people perpetrated this perfect thing when you come to Christ and everything would be wonderful and great and awesome, and it wasn't. And they thought Christianity was defective. No. It was a defective message. It wasn't a defective savior. [00:46:27] (41 seconds)  #ChristianityIsCostly

I was weak and in need and I said, oh, God save me and the power of the holy spirit came to my life. And I'm gonna tell you something that people get all weeded out when I say this, but I need saved today. Yeah. I've got things in my life that are attacking me and I need a savior to come in the middle of it. I need that power today to come and rescue me. I need that power to come live in my life. I I don't I I don't understand this whole concept of I get this one dose and somehow I don't ever need to be filled again. [00:42:47] (34 seconds)  #KeepBeingFilled
