He has something for you. Prepare. Been prepared. Since the foundation of the world, God's got something for you. Amen. The apostle Paul writes to the church of Carnival and he begins to deal with them about speaking and the power of God. He says in chapter 2 and verse 1, And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with the excellency of speech or of the wisdom to declaring unto you the testimony of God. I did not come to you with the ecsency of speech. I did come to you speaking to deep, showing my personality, my persona, not my intellect. I didn't come to you with excellency of speech or wisdom, but I came to you declaring the testimony of God. Jesus Christ is the testimony of God. Hallelujah. Yes, he is the witness. He is the testimony of God. Jesus is. Because he is God. Yes. That which was invisible. God now makes that invisible for us. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes, I don't plan on being up here long. Hallelujah. Yes, I'm just gonna say what God told me to say, and I'm going on up the road. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. Hallelujah. You've got to know, amen, that this thing is not about you. It's all about him in the name of the Lord. So Paul tells the church, this ain't some folk think that this is about them. And uh it ain't. It's about him. And uh when you know it's about him, you humble yourself and you get out the way. Yeah, just get out the way. Get on out the way and let God do what he wants to do. Amen. Because a lot of times folk think by the goodness of the exity of speech, amen, they take advantage of people. The Bible says, who's able to deceive the very elect. Just because you talk real good don't mean that God is with you. That's what happens sometimes in the churches. Amen. They exeged, try to exegete the scriptures, and they try to sound intelligent. Try to sound, amen, like they're so smart. But I remember that I met a man from Quimby, Georgia, and he was about 32 years old. And his father pastored the church, and he had died. And uh because they had this big, like 50 or 60 acre cattle ranch, and uh all the people from the church, it was like a uh uh, I don't know, they all moved on that 50 acres and built homes. And uh his dad had all this money and he dad traveled, had his own uh uh uh helicopter or private charter plane or something and he traveled on because his dad was a big businessman, so his son at a young age would uh help him with the cattle and stuff like that. He never went to school, so he could only read. 30 years old could only read on like a second grade level. But let me tell you something, he couldn't read that well, but he was anointed by God, let me tell you. And he could preach that gospel. Yes, and so it's not in our own ability, the point that I make, it's in God's ability. And so, through us, and so if you ever want to get somewhere in God, the best thing is to do is to humble yourself and let God work through you as a conduit. No, yes, God can do it through me. Yes, hallelujah. I know that this is not about me, it's all about him. And it should not be all about you, it's all about him. I bless him because he deserves it. I lift him up because he's been good to me. It's not about me, it's not about how I feel, not about how I feel, it's about who he is. Because when you know who he is, it pushes you past how you feel. Amen. He says, For I determine not to know anything among you. I don't want to know nothing else. Save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. That's all I want to know. Amen. The death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Paul says, I'm not coming to you speaking with excellence of speech. I'm telling you about the resurrection of the Lord. I'm telling you about how much he loved you, being a spirit, that he made a body and got in that body. And that body came for one person's purpose is to die on that cross. And that body died, but in three days it rose back up again with all power. Yes, the cross, the cross has power. When you preach the cross, you preach power. That resurrection is power. That same spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is also in your mortal bodies. And you ought to be able to feel the power because it raised him up, it's gonna raise you up. Yes. That's why the people of God that know God, amen. We might fall down, but we get back up. Yes, we're not gonna stay down. Yes, we got that resurrection power in us. Hallelujah. I might be damned, but I'm not out. Tell somebody, I might be damned, but I'm not out. I've got the same spirit that Christ has in them. That resurrection power. Yes, and when God is ready, He'll lift me up from my situation. Oh, glory, you gotta catch him while you can, because I'm not gonna be a bit alone. You gotta catch him while you can. You gotta catch him while you can. Amen. Because he's the one that's gonna raise me back up. Hallelujah. Oh, yes, I've been down. I've been counted out by them, but the Lord raised me back up. Hallelujah. The Lord never raised anybody back up. They thought they had you down, but that resurrection power got you back up. The Lord told you to run on. Run on. Run on. He didn't hold it against good God Almighty. He didn't hold it against you. Amen. He didn't put a sentence of death on you. He just told you to run on. Tell somebody to run on. Run on. Get up from that mess and run on. Run on. Don't you look back? Don't you look over your shoulder? You just run on. God gave you a refreshing this weekend. So that you can run on. You can run on. Yes, that's why God touched you. So you can run on. Go on, brother down here, run on. He gave you the refreshing. That you can run on. Amen. We don't care what people say or what people think. We just gonna run on. I watched my hand about three of you. They just want to run over with God. Hallelujah. Yes, I just want to run on with God. I just want to run along to see what the enemy be. Some of us over the weekend givea refreshing, I'm telling you. Some of us give a church from the master. And I feel like running on. Yes. I feel like running on. Glory be to God. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? To God be the glory. Can you imagine the power that was in that room on Saturday night? Now let me tell you this. That same power that was in that room on Saturday night is the same power that's in here every Sunday. Yes, same preacher. Same preacher. Same spirit, same God. Yes, hallelujah. Nothing changed. Hallelujah. Yes, and God gave you what you needed. He's gonna continue. Amen. Hallelujah. Oh, bless the Lord. Some of y'all hear this, hear this. I can't go no further say some of y'all need to get on this 12, this 10 p.m. prayer. Some of y'all need to jump on there. You need to get online. You need to get on there and feel the wave of God. Yes. God trying to go, oh, I'm sleeping, Pastor, 10 o'clock. Until your favorite program's on TV. Nigga, y'all watching that. Uh oh. Uh-oh. Uh. Tell your favorite game is on Xbox. Oh boy. 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock. You still on the game? Yeah. Okay. Glory to God. Thank you. You know what? Somebody right now just tell God thank you. Tell God thank you. You know what the Lord did for you. Tell God thank you. Paul says in verse number three, and I was with you in weakness and in fear.

That's right.

SPEAKER_01

And in much trembling. I was with you. Because just because he's an apostle and a preacher of the gospel don't mean that Paul wasn't going through things. But when Paul said, I was with you when you were going through it, I was with you. I was going through some things myself, but I trusted in the living God. Hallelujah. Yes. I'm trusting in the living God. Yes. Going through things on my own. But still preaching to you. Going through things and seeing things myself, but still believing God for you. Still, amen, lifting you up before the Lord. Amen. Paul says, and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and power. Yes. My preaching wasn't in man's wisdom. But you saw it when it demonstrated in the power and the wisdom of God by the Spirit of God. You saw it. You saw the preaching. You saw people get the Holy Ghost. You saw people get healed. You saw people get delivered. It wasn't man's wisdom. I didn't need to go to Bible college. Yes, God gave me revelation. And God spoke to me and through me. God revealed his son in me. And I spoke what God gave me. Hallelujah. Yes, and you saw it in demonstration of the Spirit. When God is working through you, it'll demonstrate in the Spirit. Let me tell you something. You don't just have to be preaching for God to demonstrate in the Spirit. You don't have to be teaching for God to demonstrate in the Spirit. You can be singing and God demonstrate his power in the Spirit. You can be ushering and God demonstrate his spirit and his power. Oh yes. Oh yes. Whatever we do for God, we want it to be in the spirit. Want God to get the glory. Yes, I told Sister Marnita, amen on that door on that greeter. Get ready. Because sometimes, amen, you got to you got to hug folk and then say in the name of Jesus. I bind that demon. In the name you see them spirits. Hallelujah. Yes, you got to know. Ushers got to usher to your seat. Take them on to the seat. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. You come in here with something on you dead. In the name of Jesus. Go sit down. That's all right, Pastor. I done bound them up when they come through the door. They're ineffective. They're not gonna cause the service no problems. You ain't even got to work on a man of God. We got them at the door. And what she didn't get at the door, amen. The usher got the rest, the remnant of it, walking to the seat. And then what they didn't get, amen, the worshipper got up here and worshiped the rest of it out of here. Yes. Amen. Here's what he says that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. My faith is not in the wisdom of God. You know, some folk all over the world going to church now, trusting in a man that don't even know God. Sitting in churches all over the world, don't he know God, went to seminary somewhere, not against education. I mean, I have several degrees. But that cannot be your prerequisite for you knowing God. You got to have a personal relationship with God, you got to have an encounter with God. Not good enough just sitting in the church. Amen. And so some folk are more involved with the preacher and what he's saying than they are what the word of God is saying. We got to be involved with the word of God. What is the Lord saying? Sister Ann, what is God saying? What is God saying? Amen. What is God saying? Amen. And so I don't, you know, one thing that is amazing to me that when the preacher is preaching and the people are in the fuse, I don't think they think the preacher can sing. I see everything. I see everything. And uh and it's because I'm not caught up yet. I'm working my the way there. I'm working my way there. So right now I'm I'm I'm seeing everything. But but it'll come a time when I'm caught up and I don't see nothing but the Lord. Amen. And so some folk think that I'm looking at them preaching, oh, he's talking to me. I ain't talking to you, I only see you. I'm caught up to the third heaven. Hallelujah. What we need is more people that's caught up to the third heaven. The pastor will talk about me, he would look right at me preaching. I ain't even see you.

unknown

That's right.

SPEAKER_01

Amen. Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. My faith is not in man, but in the power of God. God's power, his duty's power, is able to handle every situation that I get into. It's his power. It's his power. That resurrection power separates him. His glory, the manifestation of his glory. His resurrection from the dead separates him from every false G-O-D upon the face of the earth. It stands in his power. How many of y'all know that God has all power? Yes. He says in verse number six, howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of the world that come to naught. We're not talking about man's and worldly wisdom. Because man and worldly wisdom, they don't even know God. We're talking about spiritual wisdom, the wisdom of God. I told you this before. The Lord came in my room. I think I was saved about two weeks. And I was praying. I was living over there on Progress Lane, but oh Beverly. And uh and uh the Lord came in that room and I had an encounter with God. And the Lord told me, pray for knowledge, wisdom and understanding. That's what the Lord told me. He ain't talking about the world's wisdom, he's talking about God's wisdom, God's knowledge, and God's understanding. If you got that, then you're you're you're somebody powerful now. If you got it like God, give it to you. So here's what he says nor in the wisdom of this world, nor the prince of this world that come to naught. But we speak wisdom of God in a mystery, it's a mystery to the world. It's a mystery. How in the world can Jesus be God but sad and pray in the garden to the Father? It's a mystery. And they'll say, well, if Jesus is God, how can he pray to the Father? But it's a mystery, it's a mystery that amen, that Jesus Christ is God Almighty, but yet at the same time, he's the Son of God. It's a mystery because God now is a spirit. So God came down and made himself a body and got in that body and born himself out Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said, When you see me, you see the Father. Me and the Father are one. It's a mystery. Great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the world, and received up in the glory. It's a mystery. Can't go to Bible study to get an understanding of the mystery. If you go to Bible study, they'll tell you it's called the Trinity. There are three persons in the Godhead, is what they'll say. And I'll say that's a lie. Because, first of all, God is not a person, God is a spirit. Yes, it's not. The Bible says these three are only one. Somebody say one. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God. There's only one. There's only one. It's a mystery. Thank God for revealing his son in me. Thank God that he opened up my eyes and I understood the mystery. Yes, thank God. All y'all sitting in here ought to be thanking God right now. Because some folk don't have that understanding that you have right now. Yes, thank God. That he put this bald-headed great preacher in front of me. Thank God that when he told me to go to church, I came to church. Thank God that I heard the truth, the gospel of my salvation, repented of my sins, got baptized in water, and then got filled with the Holy Ghost. Those of you that got the Holy Ghost, you had to thank God for the Holy Ghost. Thank you. Thank you. Thank God. I could have been somewhere else. I could have been over there with them. I could have been still in Catholicism. Idol worshiping. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. I could have been sitting there with the on the on the usher board or the deacon board and clapping my hands and going to the liquor store at night, not having a relationship with God. I could have been stuck where I was. But thank be to God, God didn't leave me in that situation. That God brought me out of that with truth. He revealed his son in me. Glory. Hallelujah. Yes, I'm winding down now. And uh prayer, prayer, I said, come on. And uh when we speak wisdom in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world came unto our glory. This thing was done before God created the world. God chose you. Listen to this. God chose you in him before the world was even made. God saw you. God knew that you would hear the truth. God knew that you would receive the truth, and God knew that you would get filled with God's spirit. God knew you. That's why when you were going astray, you kept feeling up, tug, pulling you. I heard you say I was on my way down 50. And the more I tried to go down 50 to go down to that place down there, the car kept turning me over here to this church. That's what Juanita said. Sister Juanita, right? Thank God that he saw you running around in your little bare feet, down there, living off that old road back in the country. Amen. Riding on that bike so good that you couldn't even ride. Amen. Then the Lord saw you, and the Lord saw you, and God said, uh uh-huh, I got a time upon it, and God allowed some things that happened in your life, but then God turned around and touched your life, sent me into your life, and God showed you what he was working with. Look at you sitting in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, baptized in Jesus' name, filled with the Holy Ghost. Yes, God, I thank you. Yes, I thank you. I thank you. Yes, hallelujah. I look at y'all's lives and look at some of you. Some of you was in churches in other places, couldn't get the Holy Ghost. Amen. And they were telling you, amen, that they were the only ones, right? And you just couldn't get it because they're keeping you under the law of Moses and beating you down and keeping you in bondage. But then yet you come over here, somebody invited you to church. And when you came to church, amen, you sit over there. You sit over there. I said, I know that girl. And they said, I know that girl. How'd she get here? I know her. And come in here, and God bless you with the Holy Ghost. Yes, in the name of Jesus. Glory be to God, hallelujah. Yes, glory be to God, hallelujah. Yes, I'm coming right down your road. You know I am in the name of the Lord, hallelujah. Around the church, do the truth, the other parts of the truth, amen. God, amen. What in it couldn't do it? Amen. But one day, amen, the Lord had you to come visit a few churches. And then one day, He allowed me to pick up your mom. She came in here and said, The power of God is in here. And then your husband wasn't married, then your boyfriend comes in here. And your boyfriend came in here, and I was preaching about something. He said, Uh-huh. That got me right then and there. I know we right here, gonna be right here. Then one day we went up to the north temple and got up there and the power of God moves in the service. Fill both of y'all with the Holy Ghost. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Hallelujah! Yes! Fill you full of the Holy Ghost. Yes, to God be the glory. To God be the glory. He revealed the mystery. He revealed it to you. He revealed himself to you. It's easy to get the Holy Ghost here. Yes, yes, I got one more for you. Briante coming here. Keisha invited her. Amen. She came every now and then. Then the devil got a hold of her, couldn't see her for another while. But she came in here long enough for God to get a hold of her. Now that God got a hold of her. Yes. Yes. Yes. The power of God. God hand was upon Anne in the Philippines. She just didn't know it.

That's right.

SPEAKER_01

Why God picked me, I don't know. But he picked you before the world was made. And you over there living your best life. Then get over here, living your worst life. Then you meet Charles. Did Charles invite you to church? Then Charles got mad when he invited you to church. Because you would get all dressed up on Sunday and say, I'm going to see Pastor Claude. And he he he'd get all mad. But God brought you down so he could fill you with the Holy Ghost. Baptize you in water in the name of Jesus Christ. Now look at you full of the power of God. Yes. Yes. Yes. Glory to God. Thank you. Amen. Thank you. Amen. I remember when y'all's dad passed away. And I met Sister Sierra for the first time. I knew right then and there God was going to fill her with the Holy Ghost. When I met her. I knew God was going to bless her. I knew God was going to bless her. I knew it. And I was trying to figure out how in the world. She seemed so nice. But now look at her, married. Got a baby on the way. Y'all talking about, amen, you're too tired. Man, you ought to be thanking God. You ought to be telling God thank you. You ought to be telling God thank you. It's a mystery. Listen to what he says. Which none of the prince of this world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. If they knew what they were doing, they would have never crucified the Lord. Knowing that through his death, his burial, his resurrection, that all of us was going to come and be a part of his divine nature. They didn't know, they didn't couldn't understand, but God knew what he was doing. He sacrificed for us. Now here we are. They didn't know. The world doesn't know the wisdom of God. They said, crucify him. Give us baraveris. If they known what they were doing, they would have said, let him go. They would have never said that. But it was all in the plan of God. Oh, thank God for the Holy Ghost. That we might know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering. Being made conformable to his death. Thank God. Yes. Glory to God. They wouldn't have done it. He says, but it is written. I like that part. But it is written. Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard. Neither have they entered into the hearts of men the things which God had prepared for them that love him. Amen. Here's what I want y'all to do. I want you to underline the words that love him. That love him. Because I'm going to put something together and God's going to show you what he's doing. Glory to God. Ain't the Lord good. God got something prepared for you. But where is it at? Do you love him? Kisha Lake got it already. He got it already. Glory to God. So when the Lord underlined this to me, I said, wait a minute here. Brother Daniel, it's in uh, I think Isaiah 64 and verse 4. I want to put something together. I want to show you what God's going to do. He's got it prepared for you. Just like there's some things that God's going to do. Prepare since the world began. Isaiah writes this. The Bible says, for it is written. So when he says, for it is written, that means it's somewhere else in the Bible. It's in the book of Isaiah. Now listen to this. For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, same scripture, nor perceived by the ear, nor heard, neither by the eye, nor seen, O God, besides thee, what thou hast prepared for him that waiteth for him. Now, Paul says that love him. Isaiah says that wait for him. God says, I got some things prepared for you. Who love me enough to wait a moment? I just said something right there. I just said something right there. God got some things prepared for you. The love of him. I'm waiting on him. I'm waiting a moment. I'm waiting a moment. I'm waiting. So God gives it to me. I'm waiting. Hold on a power. I'm not getting ahead of myself. I love him so. I decided to wait. So God give me what he has prepared for me. That's why some of y'all ain't married yet. God wants to see how much you love him. I'm waiting on the Lord. So God bless me with what God has prepared for me. I'm waiting on him. Tell somebody, wait on him. Wait on it. God told you. Amen. That God was gonna bless your business. And you sitting around saying, What is it gonna happen, Lord? I love him so I'm not gonna make another move. I'm gonna wait till God bless me or what God got for me. I need about five of you that wanna wait on God. Hallelujah. That's how he knows that you love him. I didn't get a ball in a rush. I didn't get a ball in a baby. But I'm waiting. I love them so never. I waved up. I love them so never so I'm waiting about him. I'm gonna sit right here and wait till God bless me. In the name of the Lord, somebody go ahead and bless the Lord. I'm waiting on him. I'm waiting on him. Yes. Yes. I'm waiting on him. Because I love him. Him, I love the Lord. I love him so. I'm waiting on him to fill the building. I'm waiting on him. I'm waiting on the musicians. I'm waiting on him. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not faint. And they shall walk, and they shall run and not walk in the name of the Lord. And by waiting on God. Waiting on him. Waiting on him. Eyes have not seen. Neither had it entered into the heart of man the things which God had prepared for them that love him. In other words, God got some stuff prepared for you. And just because you don't see it yet, keep right on trusting and waiting on God. Hallelujah. I'm gonna trust in the Lord. I'm waiting on him till God bring it to pass. And ain't a devil in hell can cause me to move away from God. Hallelujah. He promised me. And we know that God cannot lie. Hallelujah. I'm waiting on him till it come to pass. The Bible says, Amen. But he has, God has, revealed it to them unto us by his spirit. There's some things that God has given us a glimpse of that we haven't seen yet. But God, through his spirit, is giving us a glimpse of it. Oh God, I'm trying to tell you right now. God has shown some of you what God's gonna do to you in the latter times. God has shown some of y'all what God is doing, working on it through your life. He's given you a glimpse of it. And don't you move from what God has showed you. I'm gonna wait on him. Am I gonna wait on him? I'm gonna sit right here and wait. So God bring it to pass. Hallelujah. He says, uh, but God has revealed them unto us by his spirit. Yea, for his spirit searches all things. Yea, even the deep things of God. God has revealed them unto us. That's what the Lord underlined by his spirit. In other words, there's some of you in here that God has given you a glimpse, whether it be in a dream or in a vision, that he's getting ready to open up doors. That God is getting ready to make a way. He shows you family members saved. God has showed you you driving in something different. He shows you in a house different. God has showed you your life. Some of you, God has showed you a glimpse, didn't show you the face, but he showed you a glimpse of your wife or your husband. Yes, he showed it to you through the spirit. But you've got to wait on God. I need some of you that really want to wait on God. Hallelujah. God shows some of you. Your business being successful. He showed you you being the head and not the tail. He showed you you, amen, being above and not beneath. God has given you vision of things. But I've decided I'm gonna sit right here and wait till God bring it to pass. Oh, glory to God. Tell somebody you gotta wait. You gotta wait. You gotta wait. See, if you love him, you don't mind waiting. That was why I need about it. Don't mind waiting on the Lord. If you love, he's gotta prepare for them that love him. You think that you love God and God not gonna give you what he got for you? Glory to God. Yes, you mean to tell me that God said he got it waiting on you? Prepared for you. But you've turned around with your love for God and you've just waited for God to do it? How am I waiting? I'm waiting by giving glory to God. Give me a waiting for something. Stop giving a glory to God. You're waiting for something about it. Stop giving glory to the gun. Personally waiting. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes. Yes. It's already prepared. God is just trying to see how much you really love him. Yes. Hallelujah. Watch this. But God has revealed unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searches all things. Yeah. The deep things of God. There's some things that God's gonna give you that's gonna be too deep for people to understand. But God got something deep for you. Yes, some deep things of God. Hallelujah. I heard the word of the Lord say restoration. I told you this is the year of restoration. And I'm gonna restore unto you the years that the canker worm, the caterpillar, and the pomer worm have you eaten. Oh God, this is my year of restoration. This is my year that God is doing something great in my life. I waited for Him patiently because I love God. Hallelujah. God is restoring it back to what it was. The Bible says, now we receive not the spirit of the world. See, the spirit of the world. The spirit of the world, amen, will try to convince you to stop waiting on the Lord. The spirit of the world will tell you, uh, you've been waiting so long, you getting old man, you in the church, you've been waiting on God and it's not coming. He said, All of my appointed days. I'm gonna wait. I need about two or three of you that just wanna wait on God. Yes, just want to wait on the devil don't want you waiting. The devil don't want you waiting. But I'm determined and I'm gonna wait. Glory to God. I feel free anyway with this microphone. I'm gonna wait on God. God got something deep that He wants to give to you. It's been prepared since the foundation of the world. Oh, God, somebody reach up and grab what God got for you. Hallelujah. Yes, pull it down to you. Pull down your peace, pull down your joy, pull down favor, pull down protection, pull down the anointing, pull down God's glory over your life in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes, pull it down. Wait on him that we might know the things that are freely given us. Hallelujah. Freely given us. All it's gonna cause you to do is to love him and wait. It's a free gift. Some of y'all have been waiting on God to touch your body. God, I thank your Holy Ghost. Yes. You've been patiently waiting on God. And you don't think God's not gonna heal you? God's gonna send you back to the doctor. And the doctor can say, whatever it was, it's gone down. Hallelujah. Yes, I need about three of you that believe that. Hallelujah. Some of y'all been waiting on God for a financial blessing. And the Lord told me to remind you that earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Yes, God knows how to get something to you. Yes, God got it prepared for you. Some of y'all have been alone. Wait on God to bring somebody in your life. God said, Yes, I want to see how much you really love me. God, I got stuff prepared for you. And I'm gonna take you off the shelf and take him off the shelf. Amen. And God said, then here you come together, hallelujah. Because I waited on the Lord. Hallelujah. Wait, I say on the Lord. Wait, I say hallelujah. Yes. Freely given. Freely given. So the things that God has prepared for us, they're already available. You just have to keep on loving him. And to prove your love is to wait until God gives it to you. See, possession is everything. The way you think is everything. You can think, well, it ain't happened yet. I don't know. Oh is me. Oh is me. I don't know. I guess it must not be for me. That's not a conscious thing where you wait and love God. Because when you love God, you have to realize that God first loved you. And God cannot lie. But when you're really in love with God and you're waiting, while you're waiting, you know how to tell God thanks. What is it? I'm just waiting, God, for my turn. Yes, you got your turn. I'm waiting for my turn. I celebrated with you when it was your turn. Now you celebrate with me while it's my turn. Oh God, celebrate my healing. Celebrate my deliverance. To celebrate my business. Celebrate my anointing. Celebrate my wife. Celebrate my husband. Celebrate my baby. Oh, yes, I waited on the Lord. Hallelujah. I waited patiently for the Lord. It's prepared for you. That's what some of y'all do. That's what some of y'all do. When you know somebody got to get my boy. Every time she gets something for me, I figured out. She thinks she's surprised me, but I figured out. But I let her think she's surprising me. She says I'm nosy, but I know what's going on.

When you know that somebody got something for you. I know where hiding place is. And I go around. Pull the drawer open and look, oh my God. Glory.

SPEAKER_01

And my birthday is three weeks away. And I know what she got for me. And so I don't go around with my head down for three weeks. I go around saying, Thank you. I know what's waiting on me. Did y'all really know what's really prepared and waiting on you? If you really know what's prepared and waiting on you, you give God all the glory. You give God all the praise. If you really know what God had prepared for you to begin, the foundation, you would give God what to do unto him. Hallelujah. God gonna do it. Hallelujah. Yes, my business will not be the same. Hallelujah. God is leading me and guiding me. He's already prepared the way. Hallelujah. Watch this, and I got to get out of here. When God sent the man of God, Elijah, to the widow woman. He already had the cake prepared. When he sent him down to the brook, he already had the food and the provisions prepared. He just wanted to see whether prophets follow what God says. And he had to wait on the raven. Oh God, he had to wait. He had to wait on the widow woman to make the cake. But God had already the provisions already there prepared for him. Oh, what are you saying? Your healing's already been prepared. It's already been prepared. It's prepared people. Really believe and trust God. They will give God what is due unto them. Somebody tell God thank you. Thank you for whatever you want God to give to you. Tell God thank you.

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01

Already prepared. It's already prepared. Glory to God. Hallelujah. It's freely given. You just got to reach up and grab it. Freely given. Yes. What are you waiting for? You want peace? He's already given it to you. Let's rejoice in the Lord and thank God for his goodness. Y'all know how it is. Y'all know how it is. You go over and you're waiting on dinner, thanksgiving, and big meals, and you go and your moms and lay the food out and be prepared. When you get there, it's already prepared. All you got to do is just sit at the table and go ahead and protect and receive what God already had for you. I wish I could get the church people to understand that God got something for you. Yes, it's yours. Tell somebody it's yours. Juanita, it's yours. Yes, it's yours. It's yours. It belongs to you, Cara. It's yours because it's yours. Keep the babbling, it's yours. You better show the Lord how much you'll love and wait on him. It's yours. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_00

It's yours. It's yours. It's yours.

SPEAKER_01

You watch everybody get theirs. Now it's your turn to get yours. Yes, I already told you. It's your turn to get yours. Amen. Hallelujah. I've been waiting on the Lord. Everybody waiting on God for something. I've been waiting on the Lord. That's how he knows that I love him. Because when the enemy told me to give up and go another way, I stayed in a position of waiting on him. When the devil told me to throw in a towel, I didn't throw it in. I waited on the Lord. When the devil told me to give up, I didn't give up. I waited on the Lord. God is not going to disappoint. I'm going to wait on God till they bring it to fruition. Wait, I say on the Lord. Wait on him. He's revealed it through his spirit. How many of y'all the Lord ever showed something to in the spirit? God will give you a glimpse. Ask God. God, give me a glimpse. Give me a glimpse of me being whole.

SPEAKER_00

Give me a glimpse, God, of your glory. God will show you things. God will show you your future. God will show you what He's gonna do. God showed me. I asked God, where my who my wife? Who is she? Yes, indeed. And then I told her, You're gonna be my wife. I said, but don't take my word for it. You go pray, go ask God. She wouldn't pray and sought the Lord. The Lord showed her me.
