So one hand, I got joy, but the other hand, I got confusion because I don't understand how I win overall, but I lose, come on, in the day to day. Y'all better catch me. And some of us are trying to figure out how I win overall, but it seems like in the day to day of my life, come on, I am losing. Come on. Y'all better catch me. And what it made me realize is that sometimes, dear brothers and sisters, a person gained their wings so they won. But it seems like we lost because we missed them.

So, my last point is I bring this to a close, dear brothers and sisters. When we are waiting on Jesus, we are waiting for Jesus while dealing with doubt. It's one thing for me to wait with friends. It's another thing for me to wait in the darkness. But I'm waiting and I don't know if I truly believe on what I'm waiting for. Because he told them, Imma get up on the third day but the interesting thing about him getting on the third day and this is just me reading this text and studying the scripture because the the the disciples, the brothers and sisters, have seen a lot of miracles.

The reason why some of you are being attacked is because you are the leader. Come on. Let me say that. The reason why some of you are being attacked is because you are the leader.

Many of us have missed y'all up because we told you to get new friends. You don't need them. No. No. No. No. Some of them folks that you ain't talking to no more. They need to thank you. They need to see god work miracles in your life. Well, I'm going to new levels. Yeah, but you weren't meant to go to new levels by yourself. You you sitting there just running. I don't need nobody.

There's a difference between discouragement and doubt. And my job was to pray for those of y'all that's dealing with that. It's tough and you're trying but you gotta understand that god loves you. But you got, listen, you gotta understand that god loves you. [00:45:30] (85 seconds)  #DiscouragementVsDoubt Download clip
