I want to jump right in this word I want
to jump right into this word family so
good to be with you wasn’t worship
amazing can we just take a moment and
celebrate our incredible worship teams
my God my God my God I want to draw your
attention to John chapter 15 and we’re
gonna look at the first five verses in
John 15 and then we are going to go over
to the longest chapter in the Bible what
is that come on somebody
psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the
Bible and we’re gonna read psalm 119
verse 71 so John 15 one through five
hallelujah and then psalm 119 71
hallelujah it says and this is Jesus
speaking he says I am The True Vine and
my father is the vine dresser every
branch in me that does not bear fruit he
takes away and every branch that bears
fruit he prunes that it may bear more
fruit every branch in me that does not
bear fruit he takes away and every
branch that bears fruit he prunes that
it might bear more fruit we’ll get back
to that he goes on to say you are
already clean because of the word which
I have spoken to you abide in me and I
in you as the branch cannot bear fruit
of itself unless it abides in the vine
neither can you unless you abide in me
he says I am the vine you are the
branches he who abides in me and I in
him bears much fruit for without me you
can do nothing for without me you can do
nothing and will jump over there psalm
119 verse 71 it is good for me that I
have been afflicted that I might learn
statutes let’s pray father we thank you
so much for your word it is a lamp to
our feet and a light to our path your
word edifies us it strengthens us it
builds us up
your word is nourishment you sent your
word and healed it healed us there’s
healing in your word even right now and
so God I thank you that as we look to
you and look to this message that you
would pour about pour upon me the spirit
of wisdom revelation insight knowledge
prophecy and every divine resource that
has been committed to this moment
because you care about your people you
want to bless them you want to feed them
you know the plans you have for them
plans to prosper them and not to harm
them to give them a future and a hope
and so God since your word is designed
to prosper us prosper your people today
in Jesus name Amen amen hallelujah
please be seated less we’re going to get
right into this if you were here on New
Year’s Eve or you made yourself you
availed yourself to the New Year’s Eve
message I declared that that 2019 would
be the year of perspective
come on somebody a perspective and how
you see things how how what your point
of view is how and and based on how you
see and based on your perspective how
you navigate and and so what I want to
bring to you for the next several weeks
is a series under the banner of
perspective we’re gonna be talking about
it because I believe that your
perspective this year is gonna make you
or break you I believe that that for
some of you there have been things that
God has been speaking to you for a long
time but it has not translated in such a
way that it has become your perspective
God he’s been talking to you and God’s
Word to you is his perspective but
sometimes it takes time for God’s
perspective to become your perspective
are you tracking with me and I want to
touch on that today and I’m gonna deal
with that today but the the theme of
today under the banner of the
perspective series is pruned to prosper
pruned to prosper pruned to prosper and
so I think this year what God’s gonna do
is for some of you all of the things
that God has been speaking to you not
just in 2018 but four years for some of
you you are going to be empowered
because you’re gonna master your ability
to walk in the perspective that dip that
God has been aiming to convince you of
for a long time I’m saying again God’s
been talking to you and for some of you
it clicked this year I am who God says I
am I’m gonna do but God says that I can
do and all the things all the promises
and all of the the the benefits that
that God has been speaking over your
life you’re going to begin to embrace
them as truth because as a man thinks
so is he it does not say the truth shall
set you free the Bible says you shall
know the truth and then the truth can
set you free in other words a lack of
perspective can keep you from freedom it
is not that God has not done it it is
not that God has not delivered you it is
not that God has not gone ahead of you
and major crooked path straight it has
absolutely nothing to do with that the
issues sometimes is shall you not know
it i just quoted isaiah behold i do a
new thing right there is a declaration
he says Isaiah 49 18 I believe he says
behold I do a new thing that is
perspective but then he warns us with
the question he says shall you not know
it shall you not perceive it and
oftentimes perspective is the byproduct
of hindsight can I take my time and
teach today
sometimes CC in the text these two
passages of scripture these two passages
represent three levels of perspective
the first level of perspective is man’s
initial perspective about a challenge
we’ll get to that man’s final
perspective about the same challenge in
other words how you see now may be
different than how you see later o you
stay with me I won’t get you today man’s
initial perspective about a challenge
man’s final perspective about that same
challenge and God’s steadfast
perspective about the challenge the
whole time so oftentimes what happens is
perspective is acquired by the
revelation that comes from hindsight
just turn to a verse a high insight
you’ve heard it said that hindsight is
2020 2020 is about perspective
so sometimes perspective shows up
so you are late to the party that God
started there are three types of sites
and maybe I’ll give you a bonus one the
first type of site is site it’s the site
that Paul talks about when he says we
walk by faith and not by sight the first
type of site is man’s perspective you
gotta understand this I’m trying to
teach you to understand your eyes the
three types of sight the first type of
site is just sight his man’s perspective
it’s based on what he sees what he
thinks his or her experiences and that
creates sight and so that is the lowest
level of perspective the second type of
perspective is is foresight foresight is
God’s perspective God knows the in in
the beginning he sees the in at the
beginning so he can speak something to
you when there is nothing around you
that represents its existence can I talk
to you about perspective for sight God
has foresight before I formed you in
your mother’s womb I knew you
so he has foresight that’s why we trust
what he says we don’t trust what we see
we don’t walk by sight we walk by faith
we we in fact I’m a little afraid of
relying on sight
Oh God because nowadays you don’t even
really know what you look at that can we
keep it 100
we’ve got filters that will do just
about anything you will become a
completely different individual by the
filter I can’t trust sight for sight is
a fill the Holy Spirit and lay I hope
you’re listening foresight is what God
gives you every time God speaks to you
he’s speaking to you from a place of
foresight
and what happens is we try to regulate
or predicate rather the validity of what
God said by sight
so we way for site by site and you can’t
way for site by site because for site is
greater than site for site is factoring
in things that you weren’t around when
God started them are you tracking with
three types of site and a bonus we have
site that’s man’s perspective for site
that’s God’s perspective and then high
site and hindsight is man’s perspective
catching up to God that’s why hindsight
is twenty-twenty you’re like oh oh now I
get it
well now you’re getting what God already
knew are you tracking with me so it is
dangerous to live by sight because that
is the lowest level of perspective and
the people that live by sight will never
fully walk out what God has for them
because what God wants to do is he wants
to use you to manifest what he foreknew
oh you don’t get it today so here’s the
bonus the bonus one is insight insight
is when you are crazy enough to believe
that even though you don’t see it you
trust God’s foresight you allow it to be
inside it becomes inspiration and it
moves you toward what God has for you do
I have anybody with some insight in here
come on somebody you don’t see it yet
but there’s something on the inside of
you that is letting you know that it is
it exists you’re taking God’s four sides
and you’re making it your insight I feel
God I feel God so you’re gonna have to
live in this year in the season in this
dimension with insight God what you have
spoken to me
has now become my insight that I keep
inside of me and no matter what I will
not be shaken from my inside I will not
let sight keep me from divine insight
you gotta make up your mind right now I
feel the Holy Ghost you gotta make up
your mind in this room right now the
things that God has spoken to you are
now you’re inside you I don’t care what
it looks like I don’t care what’s
lacking I don’t care how difficult that
thing is God if you said it to me
it is my insight it is my inspiration
it is my anointing and I’m gonna stand
flat-footed until I see my inside on the
outside are you tracking with me your
inside will become your outside if you
maintain perspective do me a favor if
you are a son or a daughter of insight
take ten seconds and give God praise and
declare to the enemy declare to the
devil I’m a son I’m a daughter of
insight you can’t shake me with sight
anymore I’ve got inside God has been
speaking to me and you know what he told
me no weapon formed against me yet
I got inside come on high-five somebody
Los Angeles say I got inside come on I
got inside I got I got inside I got
inside I got inside I got inside yeah
yeah yeah that’s one of the advantages
of being a believer I’m not stuck with
sight
I’ve got excise CICA CICA denied but
there’s nothing around shut up I see
something I see something and it’s
motivating me I see something and it’s
moving me I see something and I can’t
shake it loose I see something I’ve got
joy when I should be sad I say something
I see something
I see something where my people to see
something uh I see something uh I can’t
shake this thing it just it doesn’t make
sense
I’m not qualified but I but I say
something
Paul said that the eyes of your
understanding will be enlightened the
eyes of your understanding
he didn’t say these eyes you gotta learn
how to switch when doubt comes in that
means that you went back to sight
you went back to sight its sight will
kill you when doubt comes in you got a
real Oh I switched when fear comes in
oh I switched oh oh wait wait wait and
you gotta go get in the presence of God
and you gotta go and get your journal
and you gotta go listen to the CD you
gotta go listen to the audio you gotta
go back to the podcast you gotta go back
to YouTube because I gotta get my inside
back
20:19 is gonna be a year perspective
hallelujah and then when you get your
insight back you gotta fight every devil
that stands against it you gotta fight
for it lock hold to it some of you yo
you’re disciplines are gonna have to
change because your former rhythm did
not support insight or feel the Holy
Ghost your former rhythm cannot sustain
insight so you’ve got to reorder
how about mush you got to reorganize
your life so that everything around you
is speaking to insight and that site
III there’s some things I can’t watch
anymore because I noticed that when I
watch this my anxiety comes back can I
talk to some real people in here I
noticed that when I don’t listen to
enough music that sparks my faith I
start drifting and and I start hanging
out with sight people I feel the Holy
Ghost you gotta find your tribe I’m
talking about people that can see in the
invisible realm people that God has
given four sides and inside you gotta
put people around you that speak to your
baby every time you get around them your
baby starts
believe me so so you’ve got to reorder
your universe to stimulate insight or
fill the Holy Spirit just a year
perspective and you gonna have to fight
for it inside it’s not cheap it’s not
site is cheap everybody can do what you
got on or it’s a good air you can do
because they’re things I gotta move on
but but their thing
in the invisible realm that God knows
are there robbers shot things like
healings things like miracles things
like provision things like financial
breakthroughs things like open doors
things like new relationships things
like restored relationship things like
children getting say things like parents
getting say
businesses calling their in the unseen
and you need insight in order to see
right and sometimes insight comes to you
as a result of hindsight and that’s
that’s that’s what I want to talk about
a little bit at the end of last year if
I might continue to be transparent at
the end of last year I came to
understand the concept of prune to
prosper unlike at any other time in my
life I was afflicted can I keep it 100
with you I was afflicted and I didn’t
understand why I was prospering and the
things about things were going well I
was serving God
I was fruitful
I had insight I have vision and then all
of a sudden I was thrust into a season
of pain Oh God confusing
I’m fruitful I’m walking in integrity
I’m serving the houses of God I’m sowing
generously well beyond my tithes I’m um
I gave a car away last year a nice car
hmm I did
things that I’d never done before I was
in alignment and then all of a sudden I
don’t know where I’m at and I’m not just
talking about the arm the arm was the
final straw all these things started
going haywire and it affected me in all
kind of ways I’m like God what is this
Lord if I have sinned before you will
you please show me so I can get that
stuff up out of me but there was no
revelation of sin what is this you have
to be careful when you judge people
because sometimes we get that job spirit
on us well the reason why this is
happening let me tell you the reason you
wouldn’t be going through this if there
wasn’t some some little tricky thing in
your life somewhere watch out for jobs
friend because they don’t know what
they’re talking about Joe didn’t even
have sin God was getting ready to take
him to a level that was beyond where he
was that he could not get to without the
fire so I’m perplexed when la I’m
perplexed I don’t get it I don’t
understand I’m looking for sin I cannot
find it and I’m thrust in this season of
pain and what I learned in hindsight
is that what I what was happened to me
is I was being pruned to prosper peers
was tricky let’s go back to the text
real quick I want to show you something
that’s a little tricky in the text Jesus
says I am The True Vine John 15 I’m The
True Vine my father is a vine dresser
now watch this every branch in me that
does not bear fruit he takes away he
takes away he takes away that makes
sense if you’re in me
and you’re not bearing fruit you should
be taking away I get that okay
but if you keep reading it’s a little
tricky because he says and every Brett
branch that bears fruit he prunes wait
wait wait
when I do what I’m not supposed to do I
lose I lose something something is taken
away so what that must mean is that when
I do what I’m supposed to do bear fruit
then I should be increased it should be
the opposite
I get if I don’t bear fruit take me I
got that but when I bear fruit I go
through a process that also has an
element of removal and if I’m not
careful the enemy to my soul will accuse
me and make me think this is happening
to me because there’s something wrong
with me but maybe just maybe for once in
your life there’s nothing wrong with you
finally there’s something right with you
and this is the reason for the season
figure that out up to hindsight oh god
help me
oh god help me hindsight is amazing
God is getting ready to bring some of
you to hindsight he’s getting ready
bring some of you to hindsight guess
what that means that means you’re about
to get through it I declare right now in
the name of Jesus from Colorado to
California your season of pruning is
getting ready to try up God is getting
ready to make sense of
everything you have to go through I feel
it you get ready to come out of that
York season if you believe that if that
is a word from you do me a favor stand
up and praise God just receive that new
perspective he’s getting ready to try up
the Red Sea on your behalf and you’re
getting ready to walk over that thing
and you’re gonna look back in hindsight
and say God was with me the whole time
if that’s you do me a favor give him
something like this
you’re coming to you getting ready to
come in a hindsight I feel it do me a
favor high-five somebody say I’m getting
ready to come on the hind side I’m I’m
getting ready to come on the hi oh god
I’m getting ready to come on the hind
side my insight is getting ready to
produce by hindsight and in hindsight
I’m gonna say like David it was gone
that I was afflicted can’t we talk about
it a little further let’s talk about a
little more Jesus is teaching us here in
John 15 he’s teaching us right here in
the parable these three layers if you
would have identity that helped to give
us perspective I’m gonna try to say this
the way I see it he says the father is
the vine dresser that is the overseer
that is the the one who tends to the
vineyard Jesus says I’m divine the vine
represents the truth he says in fact I’m
the true vine the vine is the power the
divine is the source as the source is
the source and then he says you and I us
we were the branches we are extensions
of the truth we’re extensions of the
power
we’re extensions of the source now to
translate this into your everyday life
and I wanted to try to make it really
relatable to you and you’re walking in
your life those three breakdowns would
be like this of course the father is the
overseer he’s the one who knows you for
knows for new you has plans to prosper
you and not to harm you to give you a
future and a hope he puts you in the
vineyard Oh hallelujah
isn’t it good to know that God placed
you right where you are that you are
right God wants you to be Oh hallelujah
so he’s the overseer Jesus here is is
our purest identity I’m going somewhere
Jesus represents our heart divine power
and Jesus here represents our core now
as it relates to us the branches our
branches we all have branches our
branches are the extension of our lives
from our core I’m gonna break it down
this can be our success our
relationships our possessions our money
our persona our image okay let me talk
to you here’s what I learned
so God sat me down for six weeks I have
never ever in my life even thought about
the possibility of stopping for six
weeks
that is just prior to six weeks ago
seven weeks ago that was a sinful
thought to stop so God literally like he
did Jacob reached in touched my inner
thigh
and force me to stop I could not fly I
could not get up it was fine I came home
from surgery so I had surgery on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving I came
home from surgery and I was still kind
of hyped up on the anesthesia or
whatever and you know I should have you
know got out the car gone in the house
and went up to the room and went to
sleep but I’m up there greeting
everybody how y’all doing everybody
doing good praise the Lord huh you feel
all right and my wife is mad at me
because I’m walking I’m walking around
the house I should be in bed they just
cut my arm open it I just got butchered
and I’m walking around trying to do
stuff or whatever until that anesthesia
wore off I said Oh Lord and the pain hit
and and and it was just it was horrible
my my arm swelled up and my energy was
diminished that my strength was
diminished and all that I could do was
go carry myself and get into bed and
then I would try to do some stuff I
would try to do some things and I
couldn’t do it
God had shut me down and I didn’t
understand why until I understood why I
had to accept the pruning even though I
didn’t know what it was I had to to
trust that I belonged to God I had to
trust that I was his I had to trust that
my life was not my own I had to trust
that I was the clay he is the Potter and
I had to trust him with this process so
I swallowed my pride and I laid my tail
down i delegated responsibilities that
my staff and employees various people
and that was it don’t call me I’m not
interested
i’ma sit here and I’m gonna deal with
this and I’m gonna figure out whatever
it is that God is trying to show me and
I’m shut down and it was the most
uncomfortable thing until about
into it a week into it something
happened and what happened was God
revealed to me that I was not living
from my core okay you got to get this I
wasn’t living for my core because when I
had to stop in fact not when I when
everything was stripped from me I
couldn’t work I couldn’t do business
I couldn’t travel I couldn’t preach I
couldn’t do all these things that fill
my life up I was reduced down to me see
see there’s some people under the sound
of my voice right now and you don’t even
know you you haven’t been with you in a
long time and when I say you I’m not
talking about the ideal you I’m not even
talking about the you that you think you
are I’m talking about the you that you
truly are I’m talking about you at your
core your core in that season and in
that process where I later found out
that God was pruning me not because I
was unfruitful
but because I was fruitful he was
pruning me because what happens is watch
this when you start bearing fruit when
you start bearing fruit out of your core
because there is a part of the
sustenance of the vine in the fruit you
mistakenly think that you’re living and
governing from your core but you’re
really living and governing from your
branch oh you gonna catch this today you
gonna catch this I got down to my core
for me my core is based on two things
loving God with all of my heart minds
and strength my best friend and feeding
God’s people before there were mega
churches and ministries and travel and
book deals and businesses and all these
sort of things and social media and and
all the the trappings of the anointing
before there was any of that at my core
there were only two desires to be where
you are and to feed your people and
nothing else
and so that righteous core produced
fruit it produce ministries it produce
businesses it produced book deals it
produced favor it produced influences
influence but none of those things are
the core and it is tricky because the
core produce those things which means
that there is some core in those things
but the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself it has to be plugged into the
core full-time are you tracking with me
and the reality of it is it is hard to
know when you’re not living out of your
core you don’t live from your branch I
care about your ministry God has done
press cuz you’ve got a name he’s got a
name which is above every name to every
knee asked about you he doesn’t he’s not
impressed by that even if you have a
name as a result of his name he cares
nothing about that preachers trying to
make a name for themselves drive me
crazy it’s not about you it never was
about you and never will be about
you and the moment it is about you he
will block you from your place because
it was never about you it was always
about him let the money come it’s still
not about you
let the businesses come is still not
about you let the planes and jets and
all those things come is still ain’t
about you they not worse than a broken
person that wants to be a preacher
having a need to be affirmed the gospel
the call of God is not meant to affirm
you that salvation not the call the call
is not meant to make you feel good about
yourself and the moment that you need
that you live it in a branch and you
ain’t no power you wonder why don’t have
any power I’m saying the right words but
there’s no glory and what I’m saying
because it was never about you I want to
raise up some people and I’m just taking
a turn right now I don’t know who this
is for but I want to raise up some
people who are not trying to make a name
for themselves all you want to do is
make Jesus famous are you tracking with
me if I’m up praise God if I’m down
praise God if you know my name praise
God if I preach praise God
if I never preach praise God I will go
to Costco and tell somebody about Jesus
I want to raise up a generation of sons
and daughters that are not looking to
make nobody famous but Jesus if that’s
you do me a favor come on La stand up if
your willingness ain’t it ain’t about me
God has been so good to me I wanna make
everything about him come on let’s
celebrate Jesus the one who saved us the
one who raised us
that’s the one God will use that’s the
one God will use I feel the Lord that’s
the what he will use the one that wants
to hang out in the back the one that
doesn’t want to be seen the one that has
trepidation even about being safe that
is the one he’s looking for somebody I
feel the Holy Ghost LA Denver God’s
looking he’s looking for somebody that
nobody’s look at Hannah I feel the Holy
Ghost God you’re here you’re at the Los
Angeles campus and you ain’t even in the
front you’re in the back you’re in the
back you don’t have a title you don’t
come from a line of Ministers I feel the
Lord you don’t come from a lot of
ministers of bishops and preachers you
don’t come from none of that but you got
a pure heart
you got a pure heart you say God I just
want to love you
I just want to serve you I just want to
be with you if I get a great social
media following fine if you prostrate
where I can make a lot of money with
book deals all that kind of stuff fine
if you prosper me that’s all wonderful
but if I had to choose between that and
you take all that stuff because I know
from whence my help comes from I had to
get back to my core it wasn’t that I was
doing anything wrong it’s just the fruit
grows closest to the trunk
anybody knows a vineyard anybody
understands how that works
the fruit in a vineyard grows the most
as it is close to the front trunk
they’re still fruit out there but is
less it’s smaller and there’s a lot of
foilage and what happens is we walk with
God for a little while we start bearing
fruit and we start living off of the
fruit and join the fruit and next thing
you know we’re living out of the foilage
where there is no power to reproduce and
because we don’t have the sensitivity to
know when that has happened
God says approve
I’m approving you
approach this thing kind of took a
different turn there’s some of you in it
right now and I want to change your
perspective you’re not you you’re
discontent
Phyllis you’re discontent with where you
are and I hit God saying you need to get
back to grateful you need to get back to
grateful you like God when are you gonna
do this God when are you gonna do that
and you’ve become and I want to make
desire I’m not beating up on you but I
want to say this you become almost like
a spoiled brat with all due respect a
spoiled brat God when is this gonna
happen and I bet if you look at this
it’s all carnal stuff it’s not spiritual
at all and I’ve learned that when you
get back to the core see everything that
God has built through me and God I’m I’m
so blessed man is it doesn’t make sense
it doesn’t it doesn’t even make sense to
me but I got blessed like that and he
didn’t even finish with me a god bless
like that by having two things at the
center of my core my desire to be close
to God above anything and anybody you
track it with me and defeat his people
that’s how I got here I want to be close
to you and I want to feed your people
that’s where I started and that’s what’s
up underneath this and so a foolish
person look at the success it is what it
is by the grace of God praise the Lord I
don’t apologize for it look at the
success watch this and what you are
admiring is the wrong thing you’re
admiring the fruit not the vine that not
only produced that fruit but will
produce more fruit are you tracking I
didn’t planned to do it like this but
the Holy Spirit has kind of arrests at
this moment
there was some shouting that I wanted to
do at the end you know like every
preacher does saves all the shouting to
the end I don’t care about I said the
stuff this whatever we still might shout
I don’t know in hindsight what I was
able to say family is that it was good
that I was afflicted and some of you who
may be experiencing a moment that you
wish would pass when it passed and it
will pass you’re gonna look back over it
and you’re gonna say if I had to do it
all over again to get back this sign me
up tomorrow are you tracking with me
hindsight it was good that I’ve been
afflicted that I might learn your
statues what that says that word that
was translated learn is better
translated learned in such a way that
I’m able to teach a more accurate
translation that word is teach that I
might teach your statues but I
understand the notion of learning your
through the affliction I learn something
that has convinced me so powerfully
experientially that I can teach it and I
can bring people out I want to pray for
you if you’re here here
and I won’t have you come down you don’t
have to come forward less you just want
to I’m gonna pray for you right where
you are
but if you want to come forward you can
come forward la say me I’m gonna pray
for you right where you are but if you
want to come to the altar come forward
and have my staff there or my prayer
people to come at the front the altar la
see you if you hear and you say I think
I’ve moved away from my core and there’s
something you said today that connected
it this prayer is for you if you’re here
and you say man I’ve been tormented by
sight and I need to get my insight back
until my hind sight shows up I want to
pray for you as well you’re welcome to
come or you can just stand while you I’m
gonna pray for you if you hear and you
say I need to recommit my life to my
first love your first love wasn’t money
or success or fame or social media
following I want your first love you
didn’t get into this for that you got
into this because God loved you so much
that he threw out a lifeline how are you
tracking with me he threw out a lifeline
to you what you thought rescue was
hopeless you caught that lifeline he
pulled you in and you said Jesus you are
so wonderful and what you’ve done for me
you’ve done so wonderfully that I just
want to serve you
kidding back to grateful there is an
anointing waiting for you in the land
called grateful there is a bless a love
Makka pakka there’s a blessing there’s
break through this favor there’s open
doors waiting for you in the land of
grateful now I pray for you father we
thank you so much we thank you for this
moment
Jesus you’re here you said it right
there in your word you are the vine and
we’re the branches you said if we abide
in you we’re gonna bear fruit you said
without you we can do nothing but then
you threw a little caveat in there you
said that even when I do bear fruit you
prove
not to be mean but you proved so that we
could bear more fruit
so the pruning which to use the right
terminology and the gardening since the
cutback is for the come up the cutback
is for the come up god I have been miss
processing your cutting back I have been
miss processing your pruning and today
through insight I receive the good news
the good narrative about my season and
that good narrative is that in the
process of time I will move from sight
to insight and then in just a little
while I will be in the land of hindsight
and from that place I will declare
boldly it was good it was good
it was rough but it was good it was hard
but it was good I cried a lot but it was
good I had some sleepless nights but it
was good people walked away from me but
it was good I lost a bunch of things but
it was good it was God that I was
afflicted because I learned something
that I could only learn through it
repeat after me Heavenly Father I thank
you for your love I feel it Heavenly
Father I thank you for your word I
receive it I thank you for Jesus thank
you for making him who had no sin all of
my sin all of my pain all of my weakness
all of my shortcomings you placed in his
body nailed it to the cross and put it
to death I just as he was raised up
after he was afflicted I am raised up to
I’m bigger than my situation
I’m more than my process and my insight
will soon be my hindsight in Jesus name
Amen amen god bless you come on let us
take a few minutes
come on let’s celebrate Jesus come on
