I don't know what lies [music and singing] ahead. I know what lies ahead. >> [singing] >> But I know the one [music] that sh [music] [music] my hands [singing] [music] all my faith in him. Yes. [music and singing] I'm about to say these words. (00:57) >> I'm not afraid [music] to trust him. I'm going to speak to someone right now. [music] >> As I was singing this song and then [singing] as I sang it so many times for many years now, [music] >> a year and five months ago, Yahweh allowed my son [singing] >> to go to sleep until I see him again. [music] My only child. And it was devastating. (01:26) It was shocking. It was traumatic. It was more than I could handle. [music] >> He said, "He won't put more than you could handle." It was more than I could handle, but it wasn't more than he could handle. [music] >> See, I found a place. [music] He brought me back from death in 2008. That's a story there. >> I was dead, dead, dead, dead as you can. (01:53) And then in the hospital [music] where my heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys were dead. Needed transplanting. If I lived, I'd be a vegetable. I was paralyzed. [music] I was in a coma for seven days. I came out of that coma on the eighth day. New beginnings. [music] >> But I didn't know any of this. I didn't know when I was in a coma and all that. (02:14) I mean, I remembered some things. This was a different place. Losing my child. It was a place of pain that I've never ever felt. A place where you're literally shattered. You're not broken, but you're shattered to pieces. But the same God that brought my heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys back to life where I don't mean medicine have it since 2008. (02:40) [music] I mean, I can run three miles right now if I want to. I was paralyzed in that hospital. Jesus, the same God >> that was going to reach down [music] and pick me back up out of that shattered place. [singing] [music] But I'll be honest with you, I've seen many miracles. I'm one of those. I've got it in a book. (03:04) I'm a miracle to be alive. I'm a modernday Lazarus story. If you ever want to know what Lazarus, Here I am right here. [music] >> I'm not bragging on myself. Stop bragging on what Yahweh did. He's the same God >> as he was back then with the Lazarus. He is right now with me. Okay. [music] But still, you know, you get to some places in your life where you think, well, this may be too much. (03:30) Maybe maybe, you know, maybe not this. Maybe. Okay. I I know you can, but and I know you will, but I don't know when you will. And until then, you you you question your own self. Can I keep holding on? Can I keep trusting? But I'm here to tell you, one year and five months later, he brought me a new mercy every day. (03:52) You know why? [music] I knew where to go. >> I didn't go to a place stages of grief. I've never been to any kind of counseling. Never did anything. [singing] I didn't get on any medicine. I didn't do anything. I found a place long time ago that it's my hiding place. It's my bubble. It's the place where I know [music] I don't have to worry. (04:17) He's going to meet me there. >> He's going to meet me. Now, [music] >> did I feel the pain that every day, every day seems like every day. And I said, I know though this is not going to be forever, but if it is Yahweh, I'll never quit trusting you. I'll never keep coming back to you. I'll never quit saying, "Oh, Father, where are you?" He'll say, "Here I am. (04:41) >> Here I am. >> But a year over year, up until this last Passover where a sister came to me and laid hands on me and he always said, "It's time. >> I'm going to heal your shattered heart. >> You're not going to be the same." And I've never been the same since. And I mean, I can truly say that it rains on the just, it rains on the unjust. No [music] different. (05:08) We're not any different if you're walking just right before Yahweh. Everything is perfect. And then if you're not walking with him. But what I will tell you is he will come through for you [music] >> whenever you go to him. >> Those out there that don't do that, they're hopeless. I have so much faith. (05:31) That was the one thing that I said, "This will not take away my faith. >> This will [applause] not take that precious gift away." But you have to fight for it. You have to be desperate. >> Amen. >> If you're not desperate and you're not fighting, you're not going to get what you really want and be changed. You're not going to really get now. (05:56) You might get a little touch tonight. [music] You might get a big touch tonight. But it depends on your level of desperation. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want to see your [music] life turn around? I've got a story I've still not told the world how my life turned around many years ago. (06:18) I will tell it when he releases me. But I will say I am not the same. I am not the same. I thought, "Oh, God, I'm too old to [music] get any changes different now. I've done messed up. I I've messed up too much. I I can't He can't do use me now. He can't He I should have did this 20 years ago. I should [music] No, he will meet you where you are and he will make all things perfect, all things straight. (06:47) " >> Honey, you'll start doing a reversal in you. You'll start seeing life come in you. You don't even care. Age ain't even a matter. It is just a number. He said, "I am the God that fixes all things I perfect on you." I hope tonight that you will leave here not as you came. You will leave here with a new hope, a new faith, [music] a new impartation. (07:16) And I reach my hand out right now to every one of you and I say, "Father, let your oil flow that's flowing through me right now. Let it flow. Overflow. Overflow. Let there be a rain of overflow faith. [music] You don't need a whole lot. Use what you got. But I will tell you one thing. It don't hurt to have a lot. (07:43) [music] I don't know about you, but I don't limit Yahweh. Don't limit him. Quit limiting him in man's way. Start seeing bigger. Get your vision bigger. Get your belief in. He [music] created you for a purpose and you wouldn't still have breath in your body right now. He created you to do something on this earth for his sake, his glory, and for his kingdom. (08:12) and quit underestimating who you are with him. >> Hallelujah. >> You wouldn't be here tonight if you weren't some big deal with him. [music] >> Get your faith up. >> Make mountains move. Get out of this place tonight and say, "Father, I'm your vessel. [singing] I'm who you can work through. You can bring your [music] power through me. (08:31) Here I am. Here I am. Shine, seal, and [singing] deliver. I'm yours. Use me. >> I surrender all. >> Everybody say it together. If you don't >> mean it. >> I don't want you to say it. But if right now some connection has happened in your spirit that you really mean it. >> I want you to raise your hands and I want you to know that right now there's a miracle that's going to happen in your life. (09:03) Say, I >> I >> surrender. >> Surrender. Oh, [screaming] >> now get ready. >> Get ready. He's going to pour in you. He's going to pour you, out of you, and him into you. Get ready. >> God's going to [singing and music] go for you. Reach out [music and singing] and grab it. Heat. Heat. [music] [music and singing] You shall [music and singing] be [music] shy. [music] (10:08) [singing] [music] on you. I tell you on you wait on you. I [music and singing] wait on you. You shall be [music] [singing] [music and singing] >> [music] [singing] [music] >> Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. [music] [singing] You know, I told her I got enough time. She got to do this. Give me somebody to teach you. (11:09) [music] >> I teach you. Oh, bless your hearts. God [music] [singing] for you. [music and singing] Show me how you [music] [singing] walk away from [music] you. God [singing] [music] shall [singing] [music] put your hand together.
