As I through 5. This thing blew my mind. As I read it, this thing blew my mind. I've read it a million times before. A million times I've read this.It just hit me different this time. We're not where God wants us to be. I always thought that God and the devil were fighting for our souls. I didn't know he was fighting for our life. Let that sink in. I didn't know he was fighting for our life. Let that sink in. I didn't know. I just thought when you die,you got Satan PERSON trying to, nope, I ain't going to heaven. They ain't going to heaven. Or God, like, well done, I'm good in favor of service. I thought in Judgment Day,your soul, like where you rest your soul, that's where the fight was. When I read Judges 13, 2 through 5, I was like, yo, you're fighting for your life. Like you fighting for your life, meaning the quality of life you have on earth. You fighting for your calling. You're fighting for what God put you on this earth to do. You fighting for your calling.You're fighting for what God put you on this earth to do. Watch this thing is deep. A certain man from Zora named Manoa from the clan of the Knights had a wife who was childish, unable to give birth. Just say with me if you're on mind because it was in Detroit GPE, the draft. Come on, the draft. Y'all know we because it was in Detroit GPE, the draft. Come on, the draft. Y'all know we had 300,000 people at the draft?Do you understand what that means? We had 300,000 people in Detroit GPE watching to see who was going to get drafted. They weren't even getting drafted. The draft is so big. Who they select and when they select. The draft is so big. Who they select and when they select who they select is so big it brought 300,000 people to Detroit GPE. Y'all better catch what I'm saying.300,000 people came to see who was going to be drafted first and who was going to be drafted second. And it was so big that you had guys there with their whole family dressed up. Listen to me, I knew that joker was big. Did he was like, yo, they didn't clean Detroit GPE, the streets of Detroit. I was like, yeah, it's the draft, baby.It's the draft. She was like, what's going on? It's clean. The draft. Once the draft is gone, the cleaning is gone. They put on.They put it on for the city. They know this place they've been clean. They got a little side, say, Detroit, you thought that was there last year. They just put that up, quick. They put that joke up, quick. We got company coming.I'm just saying, we got company coming. The whole city switched up. Let me tell you all something. I asked Rondale yesterday, are all the Detroit GPE Detroit police downtown? I ain't never seen that many police downtown before. I'm like, this is unbelievable. I felt safe. I was walking around. See, was like, you ain't even had no bodyguard. I said, bro, I had 2,000 bodyguards.They all out here. They had the FBI ORG. They also undercover. They had the medical, mental people out there. Everybody was out there. Why? They cleaned up the city for the draft. You missed it. Judges 13, 2 through 5.It was a draft. Judges, she couldn't have a child. She was unable to give birth. The angel of the Lord appeared to her. It was a draft. They couldn't have kids.She was better. She thought, God PERSON says, I'm saving your womb. I'm saving your wound. I want you all to have nothing ordinary. I'm going to close it up. And when I'm ready to, I want you all to have nothing ordinary. I'm gonna close it up. And when I'm ready to open it up,when I'm ready to use it, we're gonna use it, but we're gonna close it right now. I'm telling you, in the name of Jesus Christ PERSON, you gotta get to a point where God can use every single part of you and is closed until he says he's ready to use it. You got to stop opening up just to use it. You got to stopopening up just to be open. You got to shut down. Stop worrying about money and stuff. Say I don't touch me. Don't say nothing to me and to God say he ready to use me. We so desperate we're in any kind of communities, any kind of relationships. We so desperate we're just hooking up with anybody. And then we're mad when it don't work out. He said, it's the draft.It's the draft. They declare for the draft. The draft is huge, it's big. They spend millions for the draft. They had everybody there. They had Barry Sanders PERSON came out for the draft.They had Spice Adams PERSON come back to the career. But they got everybody, Braille everybody there. They had Barry Sanders came out for the draft. They had Spice Adams come back to the career. But everybody, Braylin PERSON was there. Everybody from the city was there. I was walking around. They had sweaters on. What up, though?I'm like, oh, we out here. He said, the angel the Lord appeared to her and said, you are barren and child is butt. I'm just trying to tell you, you are barren and you're childless, but, sit down, sit down, hold on, wait. You're not childless or barren because you're childless,you're barren because he's about to do something something and he just want you to wait until he does it But you always moving when you feel barren You always making bad decisions when you're bearing You always drink when you feel empty you always on weed when you feel empty You always on that substance when you feel Sometimes when you feel alone and you're bearing just wait on GodJust wait Just wait you Just wait. You ain't got to call her every time you feel buried. You ain't got the trauma bond every time you feel like you're going through something.You got to hook up with her. You're both trauma and now you've got a bunch of fire mixing together. Just wait. Sometimes when you're bearing is God.Sometimes when you childless is God PERSON. Sometimes when you broke is God PERSON. But you got to go hustle. You broke. You got to go find that hustle. You got to play the numbers. You got to go to the casino. You broke. You got to play the numbers.You got to go to the casino. You broke. You got to go to the casino because you're trying to do it on your own. You're trying to fix it on your own. He said, do me a favor. Don't do that.If you're bearing, wait. Wait. You're going to get spoken to before it even happened. The angel came to her and said, listen to me, I want you to know, we know. It's not a shock to God. You're buried.You're childless, we know. But you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. If you would wait, you're going to, if you would wait, son, you're going to, if you would wait, son, you're going to walk the city streets of Detroit one day. If you, son, if you would just wait, son, if you would just get in my word, son, listen to me, next time you feel barren and you feel child, you feel broke, you feel isolated, you feel alone, get in the words.And now see to it that you, I love it. Hallelujah. Amen. It's the draft. It's the draft. God PERSON say, I'm about to put something.I got a number one draft pick. I'm about to put inside of you. I'm about to put a number one draft inside of you. But do me a favor. You can't drink, don't drink no wine. He's special.Don't drink nothing. I don't want no wine in there. I don't want nothing. I don't want him to get drunk in your, because you're going to be drinking what you drinking. So do me a favor. Don't drink no wine. I don't touch no wine. I don't know if she was drinking before or not, but he made it clear. No wine. Praise God. No wine. Don't do that. Or just in case you got it twisted, because remember what I told you all before, I thought grape juice was cool.

Speaker 2530.64s - 535.26s

So he was like, don't drink no wine, or, you all said to make sure we clear on all the stuff.

Speaker 1535.88s - 985.9s

Other for a minute drink. And do not eat anything unclean, meaning I've said in the word, these are clean meats, these are unclean meats. This is my number one draft pick. Oh, I'm getting so excited, y'all. You know why I'm so excited? I rebuke the devil, and I rebuke everybody that preach all that, you know, fire and brimstone, and you go into hell.Listen to me very closely. I'm so excited, and I know better than this, because you're not supposed to preach this way. You're supposed to lead up. But can I just say, I'm super excited when I read this because God PERSON already knew that Samson was going to let Delilah bring him down and he still picked him as his number one trash gift. He already knew and he still told his mama, do me a favor.Now, he's going to drink on his own, but don't you introduce no drink to him. Yeah, he's going to get drunk. He's going to do the very opposite. Yeah, he's going to be dealing with stuff that's unclean. Remember what his father told him? You can't find a woman of all. Israel GPE? You've got to go over there to find a woman. Samson PERSON just had a desire for some reason for unclean stuff, but God PERSON still said, listen to me, do me a favor. I don't care what he does, but you get him ready when he comes.You get him ready. I got work for him to do. Now, it's up to him. It's up to them. It's up to us to follow what God PERSON says. But even if you don't, he's going to tell you what you're supposed to do.So when you don't do it, he can still hold you accountable to what you were supposed to do. Hallelujah. Praise God. I don't remember my, I don't remember the time frame. But when I was first born, there was never anything on the refrigerator or in the mirrors. I'm not really sure what happened and when it happened.But at some point, my mom, I guess, realized that I wasn't going to clean up and do what she told me to do. And that I was always going to lie and say, I ain't hear you say that. I don't know what you're talking about. I told you to clean the back. When did you tell me to do that? I didn't hear you.So we started a new thing in my house where my mom started to write it on the mirrors and put it on the refrigerator. She's like, he going to go brush his teeth. He's going to go eat. Are y'all not hearing what I'm saying? No, come on, I'm talking to somebody. Listen to me very closely. My mama didn't do that for her. She did that because she knew my relationship to being disobedient. Oh, somebody, you better hear what I'm talking.We're not talking about Samson PERSON no more. She knew at a very young age, I don't know what happened to this boy. But he got a problem with rules and following orders. Oh, come on, I'm talking to somebody. But God is so good that even though he know we're going to be unclean, he still starts us off strong.Hallelujah. Say that a lot, I couldn't hear you. The school. Oh, yeah. Mom would have, after all of what we were supposed to do, a skull on there at the bottom.And the skull meant if you don't do what you're supposed to do, I'm coming at your skull. That was the punishment. Yeah. Praise God. Praise God. I didn't know my sister had that experience.I thought it was just me. I didn't know she had that experience. Hallelujah. Amen. You, you, you, everybody said this, I will. I will.Come on, I will. I just want to encourage you. The Bible WORK_OF_ART says you will become pregnant. Come on, can I just preach to somebody? You will, but you know what you're doing? You're so focused on what you're not. That's all you talk about every day of what's not. I want you to become a mature Christian NORP and I want you to speak those things which are not as though they were.Didn't he tell you to do that? Ain't that scripture? I didn't make that up. He didn't tell you keep talking about the stuff that you don't like. Keep talking about your reality that you can't stand. He says speak those things which are not as though they are. which are not as though they are. You will become pregnant and have a son who head is never to be touched by a razor. Okay, I want to say this. I want to say this. Even if you don't have a plan for yourselfand even if you ain't where you're supposed to be doing what you're supposed to do, God, you steal his number one draft pick. And he got plans for you. And if y'all would just get on the same page, no. Final one, I love it.Make sure y'all listen to all of this. Now, I don't know if this is for you, but he's saying don't give him nothing to drink. Don't let him eat unclean foods. Never put a razor to his head because he is to be.Come on, come on, y'all. Have you not read the word? Notice that God didn't say nothing about Delilah PERSON. He never mentioned that he would be sleeping around. He never mentioned he'd be clubbing out of control, that he would be hanging out with folks. He never mentioned that he never mentioned he would be a murderer. He never mentioned the stuff, Delilah PERSON, he never mentioned the cutting of the hair, he never mentioned him going toprison and being a slave. He never mentions any of that When he speaks of Samson PERSON, he only speaks of the Samson that he drafted. He only speaks of the Samson he created. He only speaks of the Samson that's going to be I don't care what they say about you. I don't care what they think about you. I don't care what they think about you. I don't care how they talk about you. It don't matter what they say. If God be for you, who can be against you?It don't matter what they think. It don't matter if you did it or you didn't do it. It don't matter. They don't get to decide. God decides your destiny. God determines your destiny. The teacher ain't got to believe in you. The principal don't have to see it. Not only did God PERSON see it,he saw it before you was in your mama's room. He said you will be a Nazarite NORP. I don't care how you act. I don't care what you do. I don't care what rules you bring. I put inside of you to be a Nazarite NORP, and I will create the conditions. Now, I bless you a little bud. I blessed you.No man was stronger than you. 10,000 men were stronger with you. I blessed you with long hair. Women were attracted to you, and you took advantage of that. I blessed you. I allowed you with long hair. Women were attracted to you, and you took advantage of that. I blessed you. I allowed you to be handsome. I blessed you. I allowed you to be strong. I blessedyou. But somehow in a blessed environment, you couldn't be a Nazarite NORP. Oh, but I ain't done. You're going to be a Nazarite NORP. No, I'm going to get a return on my investment.

Speaker 2986.6s - 987.92s

Oh, no, you will be a Nazarite NORP.

Speaker 1988.8s - 1095.26s

We're just going to have to switch the conditions up. Look like I'm going to have to put you in prison before you could be a Nazirite NORP. I'm going to have to put you. I'm going to have to humble you. We're going to have to cut your hair. And we're going to have to throw you in jail.Yep, you're going to have to be a slave. But you will be a Nazarite NORP. I ask you today, what conditions is it going to have to throw you in jail. Yep, you're going to have to be a slave. But you will be a Nazarite. I ask you today, what conditions is it going to take? You're going to be what God called you to be. And every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. You just got to decide are you going to do it blessed or are you going to do it cursed?But you're going to do it. Oh, come on. Is anybody else grateful? He didn't call him a murderer. Anybody else grateful? He didn't call him a slave. Anybody else grateful? He ain't talking about him clubbing and sleeping around. Watch this part. Dedicated to God from the womb.You ain't got to get no degree. I know who you are. You ain't got to change your vocate. You ain't got to get no degree. I know who you are. You ain't got to change your vocation. You ain't got the code switch. I know who you are. Huh? You ain't got to do nothing. I already know. I know what I put in you when you were born. The question is, how long is it going to take you to realize that you are in Nazarite NORP? How long is it going to take you? And when you're going to turn this thing around? I know who you are. I don't care. Get off the internet. I knew you don't need the internet to figureout who you are. I told you who you are. You don't need to compare yourself to your siblings to know who you are. I don't care what your father's plans are for you. I know what I call you to be. Anybody ready to accept you a Naz NORP know what I call you to be. Anybody ready to accept you a Nazarite NORP? Anybody ready to accept it? Come on, anybody ready to accept, anybody ready to accept, anybody ready to accept who you are?

Speaker 21097.8s - 1106.74s

Is anybody ready to accept who they are? Are you ready to get that shame off of you? Are you ready to get that guilt off of you? Are you ready to get that title off of you? Are you ready to get that label off of you? Are you ready to get that title off of you? Are you ready to get that label off of you?

Speaker 11109.92s - 1149.94s

Anybody ready to accept you a Nazarite NORP from birth and you ain't got to prove your Nazarite to nobody? You ain't got to act Nazarite NORP in? You ain't got to talk like you a Nazirite NORP. You just won and there ain't nothing you can do about it. Anybody ready to accept that? I can't even get into my sermon. This wasn't even a part of it. Anybody ready to accept that? I can't even get into my sermon.This wasn't even a part of it. Amen. And he will take the lead in delivering Israel GPE. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen to the grammar. Listen.God speaks before he's born in the past tense. Before he's even born, he says,

Speaker 21150.24s - 1153.42s

and he will take the lead.

Speaker 11156.1s - 1821.24s

And delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistine NORP, even though God PERSON knew he would be sleeping with the Philistine and hanging out with the Philist NORP. God said, I could care less. You will do what I call you to do. Some of us, it would be sleeping with the Philist NORPine and hanging out with the Philist. God said, I could care less. You will do what I call you to do. Some of us, it would be better for you to do what God PERSON told you do and get the perks.Don't wait to die and then start doing what you're supposed to be doing. You ever know that person right before death and then found out they got cancer and now it's like, I want to do right. God says, I'll leave that. And now it's like, I want to do right. God says, I'll leave that opportunity, but that's not how I want to do it. I want you to start acting right before you get sick and you think you're about to die. I want you to start walking and who you're supposed to walk in before that happens.Oh, okay, I'm sorry. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. Praise God.Praise God. Let's go to judges 16, 15, 15 through 19. And then she said to him, Delilah PERSON. This is, here's where we start. We start with where God wants us to be. Here's kind of where we end up. I want to pray for you today because I told you, Satan knows more about who you are than many of us know who we are. He's trying to derail us. And we all get derailed with trauma.We all get derailed with trauma. Because for most of us, trauma happens as a child, and most of us are not spiritually mature enough to process it properly. And so then that we start living out the trauma that does not allow us to live out the Nazarite NORP. So now instead of living out the Nazirite NORP, somebody touched you and now you're living,you're living out that experience. Somebody abuse you and you're living out that. Somebody let you down, which every human is going to do. It's a setup. It's a setup. And so then you take that trauma and the enemy uses that trauma to help you to become somebody that you're not and you're so close to that trauma that you don't even realize that you've become one with the trauma and lessone with the Nazarite NORP. I want to make sure you caught that because you're going to get healed today. So we're going to stop identifying with the trauma. I was, they did, no, we're going to leave that alone. We're going to identify as the Nazarite NORP. That's what we're going to speak on.Am I talking to somebody? The Bible says, Delilah PERSON, then she said to him, I'm always amazed when I read this like, wow. Am I talking to somebody? The Bible says Delilah PERSON, then she said to him, I'm always amazed when I read this like, wow, my man was like killing animals, killing soldiers, males. You thought David PERSON was something.Samson PERSON was a beast. I'm talking about like, it was effortless. He's like, bop, bop, bap. Imagine thousands of men coming at you, and you're killing a thousand plus. I grew up, you know, 70s, kung fu. Everybody was kung fu fighting.I'm saying? There were about four of them coming at Bruce Lee PERSON. You know what I remember? But, you know, the movie, they only had so many coming at that soap because it's like a star that I looked realistic, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, some of them are standing there,some of them coming, they're waiting for, you know, bah, he got drop kick. They're like, I don't even know if I want to get in there. My man like, go, go, go. And then Bruce PERSON like, ah, what, bah, bah. But you're talking about thousands of men?And the Bible says Sapson PERSON is just like, bough, let me get that jaw from the, bha, bha, bha, bha, bha. And the women are just watching. And right after he killed him, he'd go get them. And God PERSON was like, man, I didn't got you out of this.I didn't got you out of this a lot of times and you didn't even ask to get out of it. Please hear what I'm saying. There is a time of blessing that when we act in a natural fool and he's still blessing us, that is not the time to keep acting a fool.That's something called grace. That's grace. But you're looking at the success and that the fact that you're able to get away with this and still be blessed. So then you're just going to keep doing it. I'm not talking to all of you.I'm talking to somebody right now. You are blessed and you know you wrong. He's saying, I got to check engine light on. I ain't going to keep it on, though. This joke is going to break down at some point. Come on, somebody.Is anybody talking to me? Is anybody talking to me? Come on. He got to me? Come on. He got the check engine light on. So he's like Samson PERSON, you're doing the most. You're doing the most.We told you don't drink. You in there getting drunk. Publicly. You ain't even in the corner of nowhere getting drunk. You're not even getting drunk in Israel GPE at home. You're on enemy territory getting drunk and talking reckless.You're using the anointing on some reckless stuff. You then got into a fight with these dudes while you're drunk. Now my spirit's supposed to fall on you and you're supposed to kill them when you're not even. You're sleeping with people you're not supposed to be sleeping with in their backyard, so they, of course, coming to grass. And you got, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, bye. You're using all the anointingfor your personal benefits. I'm talking to somebody today. I'm talking to you today. You got a gift, you got an anointing, but it's for some personal use. And God said, Samson PERSON, when are you going to use all this for me?Okay, look like you're not. Party over with. Out of time. Real, you're drinking. I told you don't do that. You touch your unclean animals, I told you not to do that. You're sleeping with Philistines NORP. I told you not to do that. Come on, y'all, this's the Old Testament. You got to see this. They wasn't even, like, restricted to just one woman. They could have multiple females. You know what I'm saying? God, like, I ain't tell you could just have one, but you're over here. You're supposed to be over here getting, and you over therepicking. I didn't even put a limit on you, but you got to taste and touch what you have no business takes. I told you don't go over there. Mom, dad says something. Mom, stop tripping. Dad stop tripping.So God's like, I'm through. Everything they told you, you're the final straw. I told you and your mama, your, I remember my son went to college. You know, he in a basketball program doing this day. He came home with his first tattoo. My wife was in tears.My wife said, I had your body for 18 years. I had that joke a look at swath. I was praying. You get messed up, put cream on you when you was young, gave you the right medicine. I prayed over you.You left the crib and you just got, you just, you got it back. We old school. We just, we came before the tattoos. My wife was like, I can't believe. No, I'm saying Samson's father's like, I can't believe. I, I'm saying Sampson PERSON's father's like, I can't believe.I can't, son, we told you, not do this, not do this. And then the last straw, he was never supposed to cut his hair. And now last straw, he didn't cut. God said, I'm done. I ain't say nothing about the first one with the drinking. I let it slide. I let it slide, son. Sleeping with women, you want, I let it slide, son. Killing folk, you want, I let it slide, sir. Sleeping with women, I let it slide, sir. Killing folk, you want, I let it slide, sir. But now you didn't went to the...Then she said to him, how can you say you love me when you won't confide in me? Is this the third time you've made a fool of me? What about making a fool of God, y'all? Why we care so much about making a fool in front of other people, but we don't care about making a fool of God.And having told me the secret of your great strength? I always say this when I preach this. Sin will make you a fool. It's the third time that you did. It's the third time. She told her she's trying to kill you.The third time. Sin is so, we got to pray when we're in sin because once you get in sin like you lose your whole mind. When my grandparents used to say that, you lost your mind. I ain't know what they was talking about.Nah, you didn't lost your mind. Three times she tried to, and you didn't went on a fourth goal and act like you don't remember the first three times when all the dudes came in was trying to kill you. At no point that you go, this relationship is not for me. You know what I'm saying?This does not benefit me. At no point. I'm just being real. At no point. And I used to be on some stupid dumb stuff. Lisa PERSON, when you call them, it's like sugar.And, you know, like if you let sugar go, your mind is going to be clear. It's going to be this and it's going to be that. And I started doing my research and was like, yo, all these cancers is coming from sugar. I was just like, oh, and she ain't who I thought she was sweet. I thought she was sweet. But it's just like one of those snakes that put out that venom, that sweet.As soon as you eat it, it paralyzes you. Oh, come on talking to somebody. Listen, we're human. Here's what I want you to pray for. Once you taste it and it's sweet and then it's bitter. I want us to get to the point where we're like, God, I'm sorry.I thought it was sweet. It ain't sweet. Help. But honestly, God, I'm addicted now. See, that's the power of sugar. It's addictive. That's the power. You want to know why you keep going back to that restaurantthat they told you the fries wasn't real. You know what I'm saying? They ain't even lying about it no more. They ain't like the fries ain't real. They're not real. And if you sit the hamburger in your garage for a year and come back to it, it's going to look just like that.And you still like, let me get a number two with extra cheese, sauteed onion, and supersized that fry forward. At that point, you have lost your mind and you are addicted and you need help. At the point where you know it's killing you and you're still doing it, you are sick and you just need to stretch your hands out into the Lord and say, God, I'm sick.

Speaker 21821.24s - 1830.58s

I don't have control of me no more. This thing has control of me. Help. I love it, though.

I'm sorry, I'm so dumb. Like, I had been in the word for a long time. I wasn't watching TV. I wasn't doing none of that, right? So I'm dumb to a lot of stuff. So when my boy, Des was like, Parlay,I never really got the joke. I ain't know what he meant by that. I didn't know. Until my son called me once. He's like, Dad, I never really got the joke. I ain't know what he meant by that. I didn't know. Until my son called me once. He's like, Dad, I'm trying to make a couple extra dollars. I'm thinking about gambling. I was like, son, it's addictive like drugs. Once you get started. Say, it's hard to stop. You would be better to just work hard.You'd be better just to work hard and deal with that pain than the pain of taking your whole check and watching that joke will go away in seconds. He said, damn, people be ready. I said, I'm going to take you to Vegasand show you that not one of these casinos has ever gone into bankruptcy. All these jokes are still standing. They give you just enough to keep you coming back. But whatever they give you, they're going to eventually get it back from you. I ain't never seen nobody bankrupt. Little seat got bankrupt. Bellagio ORG's seen nobody bankrupt. Little seat got bankrupt.Belagio ORG's just got bankrupt. I said, stay away from me, son. It's addictive. If you have an addiction, today is the day for you just to cry out to God and ask him to help you get control back. You didn't have lost all your stuff fooling with that addiction.All right, we don't got time but to do this part right here. With such nagging, she prided him day after day until he was sick to death of it, but not sick enough to get out the house.

Speaker 21952.68s - 1966.8s

She nagging every day, but he didn't believe the nagging. He's still right there with the nagging. Unbelievable. So he told her everything.

Speaker 11970.1s - 3445s

No razor has ever been used on my head. All that work his mama put in. All that praying his daddy did. He in the bed with a stranger, and he's about to tell her only what a few people know. Do you know that the secret could really be saving you?Be careful who you talk to and who you talk with. Some things only God should know. Or if you're in that type of relationship, that other person, but a lot of people should know it. They'll use it against you. Because I have been a Nazarite NORP dedicated to God.From my mother's womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me and I would become as weak as any other man. He was so anointed in the draft that he was above the above.He wasn't even categorized as a man. He said, I would be weak as other men. But I'm willing to give all that up. Hey, do me a huge favor. If you got that kind of addiction in the name of Jesus Christ, take her name, take her out your phone, right? Get another phone. If she got that kind of addiction in the name of Jesus Christ PERSON, take her name, take her out your phone, right? Get another phone. If she got that much juice on you, take her out your phone.She is dangerous. This is why she dangerous. Anything you build, she's going to tear it down. Why are you even building? Why are you building if somebody got the power to destroy everything you build?And when Delilah PERSON saw, she felt it. And when Delilah PERSON saw that she that he had told her everything, she felt it.She felt it. She said, yeah, he told told her everything. She felt it. She felt it. She said, yeah, he told me the truth. She sent word to the rulers of the Philistines NORP. Come back at once. He has told me everything. So the rulers of the Philistine NORP return with the silver in their hand.Listen to me, you got to catch this. She was never doing it because she was in love with you anyway. You was the only one in love. It was always one-sided. This is the only one that's not one-sided. It was one-sided.She wasn't even in it for what she was in it. But once you told, she's like, come on, y'all, bring that silver when you come. Y'all weak. Strong as y'all were. Y'all couldn't bring him down. But I brought him down.She took pride in the fact that your armies couldn't bring him down. I told y'all. that's why I told you how much up front I'm a knee. I told you, I got him. I'm going to get him. Y'all couldn't get him, but I'm going to get him. Nazarite NORP. He ain't no Nazarite NORP to me.He ain't no Nazarite NORP to me. He ain't no right to me. I'm going to bring him to his knees. I'm going to destroy him. And you're playing with fire. He don't even know that she's come, he's come, they've come, it has only come to destroy you.And not just your soul, your purpose on life. Because every blessing you want is inside of your gift. The one you don't want to use, the one you tired of, the one you don't see the benefit of. The one you're looking at somebody else and want the one they got.So the rulers of the Philistine NORP return with the silver in their hand after putting him to sleep on her lap. She a girl. She called for someone to shave the seven braids of his hair. And so began to subdue him. And his strength left him. I got three things for you. I know we're going to get out of here, but y'all drove a long way, so you're going to getthis work. I got, I got, I got, I got, I got three quick things. God PERSON said to me that he didn't return to a Nazarite NORP because he was in trouble. He returned to his Nazarite NORP because when he got in trouble, he didn't have anybody but me. So God told me to tell you what he's already shared with me is that before there was God, the father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, Adam, and Eve PERSON. It was just God, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Adam PERSON. Come on, y'all got to catch this one.You got to catch this one. And God was enough for Adam PERSON when it was just Adam. But when Eve PERSON came, it was like, you could get with this or you could get with that. When it was just God and Adam PERSON, it was a oneness. When it was God, Adam, and Eve PERSON, it was a. And so I'm not talking about Eve PERSON.I'm not talking about Delilah PERSON I'm not talking about Delilah. I'm talking about whatever that thing is that's separating you from God or taking some of God's attention from you. It could be a degree. It could be your title. I promise you all, when I speak, every time I go somewhere, especially big time gigs, I watch them get up and I watch them, everybody talking about themselves.They ain't even talking about what the person brought them to talk about. And it's like you're getting on stage and you're getting a high. I'm just being real. People be on stage to impress their mom or daddy or their wife or their kid. People be on stage for all kind of stuff other than to anointing. People be on stage to get a gig.People don't be on stage for God. What you want me on stage for? What you want me to do? People be on stage to get a gig. People be on stage. People don't be on stage for God. What you want me on stage for? What you want me to do? People be on stage for self. And so it's some stuff that it ain't saying that you don't got a relationship with God, but it's like God like, wow, ever since it was Eve PERSON, I ain't getting the same.Ever since you got a little money, ever since you got that relationship, ever since you had kids, ever since you had, it ain't the same. I ain't mad at them. I created them for you. But now they're taking my spot. So let's go to the next one.I'm going to try to hurry up and get out of here. So let me give you the first one. So the first one is we talked about trauma. The first one is you got to collect. You got to collect the dots. You got to go back in your trauma. The first one is you got to you got to collect you got to collect the dots. You got to go back in your trauma and you got to start you got to start collecting like, okay, what happened? So we're looking at what Samson PERSON did. Now we got to look at why he did it.Perhaps it was a lot of trauma being that strong and that anointed when you were a kid and you amongst other kids. Maybe not drinking and maybe not bringing a razor to your head. Maybe all of this stuff that God put on you. Maybe we don't know it, but maybe coming up like that, it could have had some, it could have had some issues. That's a lot of, that's a lot of responsibility on a child. We don't know exactly what happened and why, but I know what happened.I want you to go back and collect. So what happened for me, and again, it shouldn't have happened, and now I can go back as an adult and I can revisit it. But I remember, oh, okay, this ain't my father. My father don't want to be in my life. And so what happened was immediately because I had an evil spirit on not the situation, but the way I perceived the situation and dealt the situation.Every move I made after that was based on that. So now I'm in school acting a plum food. Why? Because one of the spirits that jumped on me when I came to the realization that my biological father is not in my life, he must not want me was the spirit of rejection. And so now I'm in school looking for attention.Everywhere I go, I got to be seen. I got to be hurt. You got to know I'm in the building. Like, go, I got to be seen. I got to be heard. You got to know I'm in the building. Like, yo, I don't care. High school, college, they, E.T. Bro, you didn't even see me.You heard me before I came in. I had this insatiable desire to be needed, to be wanted. Like, I'm in the room. I fill up the room when I walk in the room. And I don't care what y'all doing. Stop doing it. I'm here. I'm in the room.With the anointing, I'm in the room, though. He wasn't there. He wasn't. So now I've got to try to find the attention from. So now I got the anointing, but I need attention. Now I got the anointing, but I don't know where to open my mouth and keep it closed. So there's some blessings that's not coming to me because there's some people that can't stand me because they like you talk too much because they're introverted and they're like you talk too much.Teachers upset because you talk too much. You're trying to take over my classroom. So if you was a weak passive teacher, I took it over. I was running that joker. Period. And God PERSON was like, uh- teacher, I took it over. I was running that joker. Period. And God was like, you got to go back.Because what the devil wanted you to see was your father wasn't in your life. What I want you to see is I never intended for him to be in your life. And that ain't on no shade. That didn't know no shade. God was saying where I need you to go and what I need you to do. This is what you're going to need.So I'm going to put you in that environment. But at that time, I couldn't appreciate that environment. I couldn't appreciate a curfew. Man, y'all kids that's listening. Y'all better praise the Lord for your new parenting. Y'all better thank God.I promise you, our parents weren't considered of what we... I promise you, if my mom right there and I'm tapping two times, I promise you. I promise you. Ma, can't you hear me, can't you? Bye! I'm talking about this old school.You have to pick your belt. Get the belt, meet me downstairs. And you was like, and I'm going to tell you why I whipped you. I gave you once, you lied about your report card. I gave you twice, you took the phone off the hook so the teacher couldn't call.So I'm not even whipping your butt because I'm mad at you. You can't keep doing this and finish school. We see a pattering. You're not going to finish school if you keep doing it. And we keep telling you to stop and we're taking stuffand it's not working. So we got to I hate it to discipline. I love it now. Because there's a lot of people on my block who was raised by the type of parents, whether they were there or they're not,they weren't there. They didn't get to discipline. So as adults, they can't be disciplined. It ain't they fought. It just you got to do what you want to do when you want to do it. Now you're married doing what you want to do when you want to do it.Now you're getting your check and you're doing what you want to do it. Now you're in the streets and somebody say something. Dude said to me yesterday, bro, I remember you back in the day with Bob PERSON and all the live. You still? I said, bro, I use my mouth to get out of trouble, bro.I don't, oh, I don't got time. I ain't pulling out nothing. I ain't even hard enough to pull out nothing. By the time I pull it out and be praying while I'm pulling and thinking, may the Lord, watch between me and you while we're absent one from another. Lord, can you bless this situation?I didn't got shot and killed. I'm seeing God, you son, you reacted too late. Welcome home. Welcome home. Enter into the joy of the Lord. Right?I'm like, bro, I can't even do nothing. Like, I ain't even on that. Like, bro, you're talking about the 16, 17-year-old who was filled of anger because of his father. It wasn't. I was walking around fighting because I could fight.I was angry. And I was ready to take it out on whoever. I don't care if he was a teacher, the principal. I'm taking it out on everybody and I ain't scared. No, I was hurt. I was scared.I was hurt and I wanted you to hurt because I was hurt. But then there was a part of me that was anointed. So number one, I need you to, when you go home today, I want you to go back and I'm talking to my grown too, because some of y'all, you had issues coming up, and you act the way you act, maybe because of when you were born or how you were. So you got to go back and fix some stuff, too, because there's some stuff you was doing,and it was based on, and just because you're an adult don't mean that you still don't have that trauma. And you're still acting it out. Promise you, man. It took years. Is Morgan PERSON here? Is Morgan PERSON in the building?Where's Morgan PERSON? So me and Morgan PERSON was talking. The couples, me, DDF Morgan ORG. And both of them, you know, both of them said to us, y'all don't listen. And I'm like, what? We don't.Mort PERSON was like, what? I was like, what? We don't listen. And Did he was like, no, every time I give a testimony, you talk over my testimony and get your testimony. So Did he'll be like, I'll be like, Eric, I'm just so grateful for what God is done for Jada PERSON. Yeah, Jada PERSON. So I just thank God for Jada. And she's like, I didn't get to finish it. I never said nothing to you about it. But it's like, every time I talk, you talk over me.And so I was like, Morgan PERSON, let's make a deal. And so I was talking to Diti over the last few weeks. And Didi PERSON was like testifying, then she stopped. And she's like, you ain't going to get your testimony. I was like, are you done yet? Don't make sure you're done. I don't want to talk over you. She's like, yeah, I'm done. I'm like, are you done yet? Don't make sure you're done.I don't want to talk over you. She's like, yeah, I'm done. I'm like, are you done, done? She's like, yes. I was like, okay, yes, I do have a testimony. Right? But a lot of it was that moment of my father and then the rejection, and then you don't want. And so nowwhen I come in the room, I'm doing all the talking, and it's a marriage, but I ain't doing no listening. So how is it going to be a healthy relationship when I'm talking for 30, 40, 50 minutes, and she don't never get to talk and she never gets to, what is going to affect the relationship? And so you're talking about 53, 34 years, and I just started shutting up. Why? Because I've never dealt with that trauma all the way.All right, let's go. The next one, here's what I want you to do, and I just did that one. Connected. How is this related to this? I'm letting you go. This is it. Write this down. First, collected. God PERSON, do you know what Samson did when Samson was by himself? He and God start having some conversations and he started connecting the dots. He had time now. Now he's connected the dots. This is why Delilah got me. That's why she got me, God PERSON. Now the Bible don't say it, but there's a time frame where he's in prison and there's a time frame where all of asudden now he comes to his senses. How did that happen? A communication with himself and then a communication with God. Because I know for a fact when you go to prison and you locked up, the first thing you're asking yourself is, how did I get here? Period. How do I get in this mess? And if you go back to your trauma and how you dealt with your trauma, it's going to show you how you got there. I see why I connected to the people I connected to when I was younger.My wife and I talk. Trauma bonding. Yeah, your father was there, but not in that way. My father was trauma bonding. Yeah, there's some stuff we both experienced in Detroit GPE, violence. It's trauma bonding. And God brought us together to not just be together, but to fix some of that trauma. Am I talking to anybody?You thought it was just so you could buy a house. You thought it was just so you all can have a lifestyle. God brought you all together so y'all can help each other. And the more you help each other the bless, the less you help each other to curse. So now he's collecting, he's collecting, oh, my biological, oh, okay, okay, me and my mom had, oh, okay, oh, my grandma, oh, okay, my aunt, he said, okay, I went to school, and then the spelling bee, I couldn Okay, me and my mom had, oh, okay. Oh, my grandma. Oh, okay. My aunt's, he said, okay, I went to school. And in the spelling bee, I couldn't spell. And people started joking. Okay, so I shut down there academically.Oh, okay. I could never get the eight parts of speech. So I just quit. I'm just coming to school. Okay, got it. Class clown, because I want to be light. Oh, I'm over here in the hood with dope dealers when I ain't even into dope dealer. But they accept me. because I want to be light. Oh, I'm over here in the hood with dope dealers when I ain't even into dope dealing, but they accept me. They out here slainting. They out here killing folk.I'm out here in the car. My boy stole the car. I'm in the car. Police pull us over. I'm supposed to go to jail, but he know I'm born to be a Nazarite NORP.So my boys say, little B PERSON say, when we go to jail, little B said that one, his car, and that ain't none of his stuff in the car. I picked him up for McDonald's ORG. He good. And they let me go because I was a Nazarite NORP.But I had to start collecting and then connecting the dots. Wow. Some of y'all want to run from it. It ain't going nowhere. It's going to stay in your parenting. It's going to stay in your marriage. It's going to stay in your business. Until you deal with it all the way, it ain't going nowhere. And it's going to affect everything and everybody you touch. And I just didn't want my kids to. And I'm so grateful as I leave. I'm so grateful that God let me be 53. Because they're getting a better daddy now. They didn't get that daddy.They didn't get that dad. I was working. I was working. And my kids were like, he provided for us, but he always put community first. Now I'm like, hold on for a minute, bro. This is my son. Jay, what's up?You good? Yeah. You need me because I'm on a business call. Oh, yeah, dad, this is an emergency. All right, hold on. Hey, can I call you back? No, Dad, it ain't nothing. I was just checking in on you. All right, bro, I'm going to call you when I get off.Now it's, wow, Daddy ain't putting business before me no more. There was a time when they would see me and mom fussing. Like I said, I ain't never called on a name. Like, that ain't never cussed that or nothing. But I'm letting her know, like, yo, I don't believe that. And so now my daughter's like, man, dad, you changed. I remember when you used to be argumentative. Like, you don't even do that no more. I praise God, he gave me a little bit more time to collect the dots and connect the dots so I could be healed. And my kids can get a better version. My wife, before we die, she could get a better version of me so that the church could get a better version of me.Promise you, I remember, bro. I remember that pain. I remember that rejection. And I remember members, me and members, not seeing eye to eye. And I remember like, yo, I'm good, bro. Like, I'm good. I don't mean you no harm, but I don't want to be hurt every time we talk. Like,you being a little too aggressive. Like, that's not my thing. I'm not aggressive. Like, I'm good on that. God was like, how are you going to be a shepherd that don't want to deal with conflict? They cheat. They ain't whole. I'm taking it personal. Like, man, I can't believe you talking to me like that. After all I've done, what? Like, I can't believe you being in selfish. Like, this is for the body. Okay, bad. I'm taking it personal. Like, man, I can't believe you talking to me like that. After all I've done, what? Like, I can't believe you being selfish. Like, this is for the fight. Okay, bad, I'm good.I'm being real. I got, on one side, we ain't talking to you for a minute. It ain't hard for me not to talk. I'm like, okay, Ben PERSON, we on that. I promise you, you'll need me before I need you. Promise you.I'm doing God's work. I ain't playing. You want to talk like that? Go for it. God was like, son, you are shepherd. You're not the sheep.You can't do that. Where do you get that from? Well, when we was, and we didn't talk, and then we went six months, and then we was beefing, and then we didn't talk,he said, no, you can't do that more. That was cool when you was there. You're not there no more. You're a shepherd now. And then the last one, correct. Correct the dots.Make the correction. Say it with me, the first one. Come on. Say it like you really want whatever it is you say you want. Yep. Collect. Number two. And number three, Father, we come down in the name of Jesus Christ PERSON. We didn't do it to ourselves. Like we didn't,we didn't, we came into this world. We didn't like prepare it before we got here. And there's some stuff that happened to us. While we bent down, especially at a younger age. And for some of us, it was so painful that we wanted to pretend like it doesn't exist anymore. But it affects everything we do, how we talk, how we move, what we say. We can't act like it didn't exist. It existed.It existed. It existed. It's not right. It's not fair, but it happened. And we got to come and tell you because if we don't, then the enemy is going to take it and he's going to do all kind of crazy stuff with us.So it's the draft. You brought us into this world. You know what you call us for. And you know what you want us to do. But there's an enemy who doesn't want us. He wants that trauma to rule us. He wants that trauma to guide us. He wants that trauma to still be alive in us so that we cannot, even if we bury it, it's still dead inside of us. And it stinks and it's rotten. But you want to heal us from it, Lord. And then you want to use it as a part of our testimony. You want to use it as a part of our message and helping other people get through that. And so today we humble ourselves and go with us as we collect the dotsbecause some of them are painful. Go with us, Lord. Walk with us as we collect the dots because some of them are painful. Go with us, Lord. Walk with us as we collect the dots. And then we ask as we're collecting them all, Lord, and we start making connections. You take us back and you show us.You thought that this thing was a bad thing. You thought I wasn't with you. You thought I let this happen to you. You thought that I didn't see it. You thought that I didn't care. Lo, I am always with you. And I will take that which the devil meant for bans. And all things will work together for the good, for them that loved me and I called according to my purpose. And then Lord finally correct it for us. Help us to go backin the spirit. For Paul PERSON said, when I was a child, I saw as a child. I saw as a child. And then Lord finally correct it for us. Help us to go back in the spirit. For Paul said when I was a child, I saw as a child. I understood as a child. I behaved as a child. But now I'm an adult. And if I don't see it, I'm still going to act like a child. I'm still going to behave like a child. I'm still going to have immature tendencies. But when I became, Paul PERSON said a man, I put away, help us to correct. Put it away. It's not beneficial for this part of the journey. It's not beneficial for where you are. This is not your past. This is yourpresent. And God has a bright future for you. Let it go. Let God fix it. Let God correct it. Go back and see it differently. See it through the eyes of God.So that you can get past it and move forward in your best self. Forgive us again for our sins and our shortcomings. And bless us in Jesus Day. Thanks for joining us. And we look forward to seeing you Saturday at 11 for Sabbath service. forgive us again for our sins and our showcomings and bless us in Jesus PERSON' name.
