Returning with Gratitude: A Journey of Faith

"There's something about this house, there's something about this sanctuary, because I remember all the scripture that was placed under here, I was told about it, and I saw it done again at the west side, and the man of the house, he made sure the scripture, that his word, the Lord's word, was all here, and that's basically what I kind of stayed."

"I knew something was coming, something more was coming, and I waited, and waited, and waited, and every year, as it unfolded, I seemed to experience more and more, and I was excited, and then I said, Lord, use me, use me, and I was, and still am, over the instructions here, adult education. I know the equipping on our discipleship pathway, and I serve among brothers and sisters who know the word, love Jesus, and teach the word with fervor and commitment, and they continue to teach the word, but then more was asked of us, and has continued to ask us to live it."

"And it says in the passage that he entered a certain village and he was met by ten men who were lepers. They stood far off and I stared at that for a while and I said, they stood far off. And then I learned and realized that they were lepers, ten that were sick with one of the rare and worst skin diseases, that this disease was contagious and it was severe and impacted the nerves. Until you didn't feel no pain." [00:06:27] (40 seconds)


"And let me tell you, brothers and sisters, it's a beautiful thing when we can put aside our differences and come to work for the Lord as one in one spirit. And we put aside the bickering and we put aside the doctrine and all of that comes with you're different. And they stood far off, I noticed, from Jesus because they knew that they were contaminated and they kept their distance. But Jesus saw them with compassion." [00:09:16] (33 seconds)


"See, the Lord will look upon you. No matter what your condition is, no matter how weary, how sick, how well, it doesn't matter because sometimes you look good and you smell good, but inside there is a lot of torment that you're trying to hold it together outside so nobody can see your inside. And when we learned here at this house is that the Lord through prayer and through one another, ministering to one another, we touched the heart of God so he could touch you, through his Holy Spirit, to heal."

"Because who worships at a man's feet unless he realizes it's not just a man? This Jesus, this is Jesus. I woke up this morning and the first word out of my mouth was Adonai. I said, Lord, Lord, Adonai, Adonai. You know, Adonai means Lord and Master. Because the one said he's not just a master, he's Lord of Lord and King of Kings and true God of true God."

"And let me tell you something about the creator. When he creates, he adds value. And how do I know you are so valuable to him? It's because he went to the cross and gave his blood for you. That's how much he values you, each and every one. And you see at this point, this one that came back among the lepers, he isn't aware of the cross, but we are, we are on the other side of the cross." [00:18:11] (32 seconds)


"And I pray right now in the name of Jesus that it doesn't matter what age you are, that you will seek him with all your heart, soul, and mind. And I pray a blessing upon blessing on this day and each and every day and that he continues to give you the strength to return and to answer the call of the great I Am. In Jesus' name, may you be the one. Amen. Go out and serve." [00:57:53] (39 seconds)


"Because Jesus says, I am with you always through the Holy Spirit that is in you. And if you have accepted him as your Lord and Savior, then guess what? You've been sealed with the Holy Spirit. He dwells within you. But if you don't, this is an opportunity to say, I want to be one. I want to be saved. I want to have the indwelling, the Holy Spirit. I want to know Jesus Christ." [00:53:40] (32 seconds)


"remember remember who you are in him and I pray that the Father of Glory the God of our Lord Jesus Christ would impart to you the riches of the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of revelation and to know him through your deepening intimacy with him I pray that the light of God will illuminate your eyes of your imagination flooding you with the light until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling that is the wealth of God's glorious inheritance that he finds in us his holy ones and I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available to you through faith in Adonai the Lord and master of your life and mine and in Jesus name I bless you to go out to serve him I bless you to go out to serve him" [00:56:24] (65 seconds)
