TD JAKES – #Sunday – When you serve others, you will find yourself… Humble yourself!
6:25
one of the things that I was noticing
6:27
when I was in my prayer time is that
6:29
most of the significant things that
6:31
happen in my life I kind of stumbled
6:35
into you know it in retrospect it it
6:39
looked like it was intentional but in
6:41
reality I stumbled into it I just
6:45
happened to be in the right place at the
6:47
right time going about this or that
6:49
another met this person over here rather
6:51
than this one over here phasic and in
6:53
some kind of amazing supernatural way
6:57
God causes all things to work together
7:00
for the good of them that love the Lord
7:03
you end up in a spectacular spot but it
7:06
but you didn’t get there by yourself you
7:09
didn’t do it by yourself you didn’t make
7:11
it happen by yourself you didn’t work it
7:13
out in fact most of the stuff you tried
7:15
to do on your own wick kaput it just
7:17
failed it collapsed
7:18
you spent years trying to do things your
7:21
way and then you finally step back and
7:22
let God do it he takes over and he gets
7:25
the glory killer somebody say man when
7:29
you think about all of us we have we
7:30
have these obstacles in our lives we
7:32
never get where we’re trying to go
7:34
without obstacles without going through
7:35
tests and trials and tribulation there’s
7:37
no straight path God’s got booby traps
7:41
out there to make sure that hypocrites
7:43
can’t get through it you have to have
7:46
the whole armour to get through life
7:48
you’re going to run into it like you
7:51
remember The Wizard of Oz lions tigers
7:53
and bears oh my life is tired you were
7:55
running a halt in her life Tigers the
7:57
bear you’re not going to get there
7:59
without a struggle that’s why a lot of
8:00
people decide not to go they give up on
8:02
their dream and they sit by
8:03
they become critics of people who win uh
8:06
you didn’t see what I said they become
8:09
critics of people who win they critique
8:13
you they becoming it in my neighborhood
8:15
we will call them haters they can’t be
8:18
congratulating us because there are
8:21
people who gave up of their assignment
8:23
and become bitter and become a type of
8:25
song in your life always criticizing you
8:29
because they are upset over the chance
8:32
they missed in reality God gives you
8:37
tests and trials to prepare you for
8:38
what’s coming next like David they would
8:41
kill the lion he didn’t know that a bear
8:43
was coming but the line was preparation
8:46
it brought him to the bear and the bear
8:49
was preparation had brought him to
8:50
Goliath everything in its own season one
8:54
thing until next thing and then the next
8:56
thing of them the next thing it goes all
8:57
works together for the good of them that
8:59
love the Lord just happens to you you
9:01
say Lord I’m so glad that I went through
9:04
what I went through back there was fun
9:05
when I was going through it but I’m glad
9:07
that I went through it cuz it prepped me
9:10
for the next challenge the next obstacle
9:13
in my life and then when I confronted it
9:15
I was stronger I was wiser I was smaller
9:19
I was better I critiqued myself I had
9:22
experience nothing like experience I’m
9:27
so big all AIDS but experience is a
9:30
wonderful thing you just can’t get one
9:32
without the other experience gives you
9:34
tenacity it gives you a resume of faith
9:38
when you stand in front of that bear you
9:41
say don’t you know what God did to that
9:43
line but did you see what God did for me
9:47
back there when I hit that line in the
9:49
head with the rock you mean you go growl
9:51

9:53
another Rock

12:50
gonna lift back other day about old man
12:54
was telling me about it backing behind
12:56
my property you know I gotta say it’s
13:00
the backyard it’s kind of like a jungle
13:01
and Texas is noodle acres we have in
13:06
West Virginia we had stuff like you know
13:08
squirrels and stuff and in the now I got
13:11
cows in the backyard
13:14
big ol coyotes and possums and stuff
13:17
running around in the backyard old man
13:19
company said if you want to get rid of
13:21
the parcel and get rid of the Coyotes
13:24
and keep him out of your neighborhood he
13:26
said you got to kill one of them and
13:29
hang him up in the tree
13:33
now I didn’t know that coyotes were
13:36
intelligent but all that said when you
13:40
hang one in the tree the other coyotes
13:42
will leave because when they combine
13:45
they smell that dead coyote they know
13:49
this is not a good neighborhood for us
13:51
to work here I don’t know who I’m
13:54
talking to this morning but you need to
13:57
take your last kill and hang it from a
14:00
tree and let the thing in front of you
14:03
go there you see what I did with this
14:06
right here somebody who got something to
14:09
hang on a tree give God 3 seconds of
14:12
crazy place blow in and God quo in a God
14:24
glory to God glory to God glory to God
14:29
glory to God glory to God when you think
14:36
about it go and I want you to really
14:39
understand something right here when
14:42
David comes to fight his Goliath it is
14:47
this that it’s a paradigm shift for his
14:50
life it is not when he was anointed with
14:53
oil because he was anointed with all and
14:56
still with my to feed sheep so being a
15:00
knowing that doesn’t mean you’re
15:02
appointed
15:04
come on somebody it was when he fought
15:09
Goliath then his entire life change you
15:13
can be anointed and be frustrated I wish
15:17
I had a real witness in the house of God
15:19
today you can have God’s all on your
15:22
life and see no change in your
15:24
circumstance you can come to church and
15:27
get so annoyed if you dance here your
15:29
shoes break off and go back home and the
15:32
pipe still won’t run and the car won’t
15:34
drive and there’s no gas and as though
15:36
this and you say how can I be anointed
15:38
and then Venus frustrated the anointing
15:41
does not guarantee that you won’t be
15:44
frustrated it was not his anointing that
15:48
changed his life for he was anointed and
15:51
went back to the same thing he was doing
15:54
before it was when he fought Goliath
15:58
there is a fight then if you win this
16:05
fight everything that’s been held up
16:12
everything that has not progress
16:16
everything that has not prevail will
16:18
begin to watch in your favor if you win
16:21
this fight Goliath changed his life
16:27
[Applause]
16:29
good god of us you know I feel I feel
16:32
like this that’s a word for somebody
16:35
right there that everything depends on
16:39
how you handle this fight this is the
16:43
big one this is the big one this is the
16:47
one that changes your destiny
16:49
this is the one that will affect your
16:51
children and your children’s children
16:52
and your children’s children children
16:55
when you make this move it’s gonna
16:57
change how your story good God who am I
17:01
talking to this is your Goliath moment
17:05
David was stepping into a paradigm shift
17:08
I mean a paradigm shift is when
17:11
everything changes as a result of this
17:14
change one thing changes everything
17:17
Goliath was his greatest blessing you
17:24
say he was his greatest battle I say he
17:28
was his greatest blessing because your
17:31
blessing and always is your battle fifty
17:36
petition but here’s what I want you to
17:40
see I didn’t get up the same out of that
17:46
what fascinates me is that David comes
17:52
to fight Goliath but he doesn’t know
17:57
that he’s going to fight Goliath he
18:03
doesn’t come down to the battlefield to
18:08
fight he comes down to serve
18:19
[Applause]
18:22
get your Bibles go to 1st Samuel 17 from
18:24
and I’m a certain said I’m proved it to
18:26
nobody preaches about detail talk about
18:28
this because it’s not fancy it’s not
18:31
glorious it’s not spectacular it’s not
18:33
an opulent it’s not accessible it’s not
18:35
experience they don’t talk about it
18:37
because there’s no fanfare to it there’s
18:39
no drama there’s no special effects
18:42
about it they talk about his bag of
18:45
rocks and his five smooth stones they
18:50
talk about what he killed with his rocks
18:53
but I’m going to tell you that they’re
18:55
looking at the wrong bag because he did
19:01
not come down they’re preparing to fight
19:04
he came down there to serve glory to God
19:11
1st Samuel 17 13 through 19 you
19:15
understand because I’m halfway through
19:17
the message man I’m coming in the home
19:21
stretch baby look at this and the three
19:24
eldest sons of Jesse went and followed
19:27
Saul to the battle the elder boys are
19:30
gone they’ve gone out to fight with the
19:32
king and the names of the three sons
19:34
that went to the battle as he lieth the
19:36
firstborn and the next unto him a bit AB
19:40
and the third was Shama
19:42
and David was the youngest and the three
19:47
eldest followed Saul but David went and
19:50
returned from Seoul to feed his father’s
19:53
sheep at Bethlehem lavoy Network to move
19:56
and the Philistine drew near morning and
19:59
evening and presented himself forty days
20:02
and Jesse said unto David his son since
20:08
your brothers have been fighting for
20:10
forty days take now for their brother
20:13
and ephah of this parched corn and Eva
20:17
is like a bushel he said take a bushel
20:20
of this parched corn and these pillows
20:23
and run to the camp to thy brethren and
20:26
carry of their thousands
20:28
and look how thy mother and fair and
20:31
take their pain
20:33
now saw and they and all the men of
20:36
Israel were in the Valley of Elah
20:39
fighting with the Philistines they were
20:42
fighting with the Philistine they were
20:45
fighting with the Philistines the
20:48
age-old enemy of Israel they were
20:50
fighting with the Philistine David was
20:54
not sent to fight he was sent to serve
21:02
his job was to bring his brothers lunch
21:09
everybody is talking about the bag I
21:13
want to talk about the bushel because it
21:17
was the brussels that brought him to the
21:21
blessing they showed him what the bag
21:24
was all about y’all are you what I’m
21:27
saying see the problem today is
21:29
everybody is trying to get to the bag
21:33
but until you find your bushel you can’t
21:38
find your bag everybody wants to lead
21:40
nobody wants to serve everybody wants to
21:43
be in control nobody wants to submit
21:45
everybody wants to be the boss nobody
21:48
wants to follow the gregson we need a
21:51
generation of people who find your place
21:54
of farmers for if you find your bushel
21:59
you’ll find your blessing he does not
22:04
get called to fight Jesse doesn’t say
22:08
look they’re losing I need more men go
22:11
down and help your brothers fight he
22:14
says you’re not even one of them
22:18
you’re not even one of them you bring
22:22
them some lunch and until David was
22:27
faithful with the bushel
22:32
good god help me preach this morning
22:35
until he was faithful with what he had
22:39
been charged to do until he could be
22:42
trusted to carry the bushel as if it
22:47
were important he would never find the
22:50
power of the bag until he understood the
22:54
power of the bushel and I see people
22:58
running around with all kind of bags but
23:05
it was not the bag that brought him into
23:07
his destiny it was a simple bushel a
23:12
bringing lunch to the bigger guy he’s
23:19
bringing lunch to the bigger guys he has
23:25
come to serve someone else and in the
23:31
process of serving someone else he
23:35
discovers himself he discovers who he is
23:43
by helping someone else with who they
23:48
are his destiny his miracle his
23:54
placement in the body of Christ could
23:57
never be revealed until he served
24:00
someone that he saw as greater then he
24:05
could not find himself a problem today
24:08
we got an effects
24:12
we don’t have enough bushels we got
24:16
enough people who want to get in the
24:17
fight we don’t have enough people who
24:20
want to get down and serve oh I lost you
24:24
you would shout on my bag but I lost you
24:26
on my bosom you were dancing about your
24:29
Goliath but you cannot kill your Goliath
24:33
until you learn how to serve your
24:35
brethren
24:36
until you can serve your brother not
24:39
your daddy until you can serve your
24:41
brethren until you can serve who you’re
24:44
competing with oh oh oh no I want you to
24:49
sit on me I won’t work you this one and
24:52
I’m ready for you until you can serve
24:54
who you’re competing with until you just
24:59
come down to say it doesn’t matter who
25:02
gets the credit as long as we win the
25:06
battle all y’all hear what I’m saying
25:09
you cannot bring lunch to your brother
25:12
and when you’re trying to make a name
25:14
for yourself but when you’re trying to
25:17
say we’re on the same team it changes
25:21
the entire attitude of the battle we got
25:25
too many people on the team right now
25:27
who only want to make a name for
25:29
themselves and you only want to work
25:33
when you get the credit but God needs
25:37
somebody who will work til he gets the
25:40
glory
25:47
so you go ahead with your bad bang with
25:52
all your rocks and all your resumes
25:56
every mighty move of God did ever happen
25:59
in my life didn’t come because I was so
26:03
qualified he it didn’t come because I
26:09
had so much in my bag it happened
26:13
because I had so much in the bushel it
26:18
just so happened that while I was
26:21
serving someone else I found myself and
26:29
the reason you could never find yourself
26:31
is because you’re too important to serve
26:36
someone else
26:38
as long as our priests about the bag you
26:43
get happy but when I preach about the
26:46
bushel you get convicted but what I’m
26:50
trying to make you understand is that it
26:53
was not the bag that brought him into
26:54
his destiny
26:55
it was the bushel and we have a
26:58
generation of people who had lost their
27:01
bushel we have lost the art of serving
27:06
we want to be seen we want to be seen we
27:13
want to be recognized we want to be
27:17
important but when God is going to use
27:21
you in a mighty way he will give you the
27:25
bushel before he unlocks the power of
27:29
your bank I want to go deeper talking
27:35
about David but I’m using David as a
27:40
leaping pad to talk about the son of
27:44
David Jesus is the son of David Jesus at
27:53
the paradigm shift that would change the
27:59
next 2,000 years does not come riding in
28:03
on a horse with ten thousand angels
28:08
behind instead he is born in a manger
28:11
and wrapped in swaddling clothes
28:15
hidden in a poor place doing mundane
28:19
things in fact in Philippians it says he
28:23
took on himself the form of a servant
28:28
he decided I’m not coming as a team I’m
28:33
not coming as a captain I’m not coming
28:37
as the Lion of the tribe of juda I am
28:41
coming as the lamb and the Bible says he
28:44
probably not robbery to be equal with
28:47
God get made of himself no reputation
28:55
he humbled
29:01
[Applause]
29:06
he-hello himself
29:08
you see you see when i was telling you
29:12
about david bringing lunch to his
29:15
brethren i forgot to tell you that David
29:18
was his brothers King when it all would
29:25
be over the brothers he was bringing
29:29
lunch to will be serving the one who
29:33
brought the last but he humbled Oh y’all
29:40
not gonna talk to me this morning the
29:44
reason this is a pool is that we have
29:47
been groomed to be important we have not
29:52
been groomed to be servants particularly
29:59
those of us whose ancestors came from
30:01
slavery we are so against being servants
30:07
that we have taught our children to be
30:10
arrogant
30:14
and in the process of making the beragon
30:18
now the grown and incompetent god forbid
30:27
that you be seen as a servant so you got
30:31
little Johnny sticking his chest out
30:33
about nothing showing this Kitty’s shoes
30:40
got more on your feet than you do in
30:43
your head
30:48
I wish we would go back to sobbing again
30:53
because if you if you humble yourself
30:56
the Bible says in due time I will look
31:03
at your life look at how you sad your
31:07
way into everything you got
31:09
look at how you walked in Christ and
31:12
sweated and labored and crawl and then
31:16
God bless you the Bible sing yes after
31:22
you suffered a while establish you and
31:27
make you perfect if you don’t go down
31:31
right you can’t come up right you’ve
31:43
been given the kids to bed what you need
31:47
to hand them the bushel until you can
31:52
serve somebody that someday you may lead
31:56
you will not find your purpose in the
32:02
kingdom because you’re so impressed with
32:06
your bag that you dropped your bushel
32:09
and it is your bushel that brings you
32:14
into the place your Brussels brings you
32:18
into the place your brush your bracelet
32:22
to the place there are muscle positions
32:26
you to get in the room you need to get
32:29
in to do what you gotta do the problem
32:33
is when you get in room all your friends
32:36
are saying if I was you I wouldn’t take
32:37
that
32:40
you a man just like him what are you
32:44
doing fairing hair
32:47
they talked you out of your bushel and
32:53
when they talked you out of your bushel
32:55
you lose the battle that holds the
33:01
blessing that would shift you for
33:06
generations ah I’m not looking for a
33:13
blessing for me I am looking for a
33:20
blessing for generations
33:23
I wanna see God do something this shifts
33:33
my children and my children’s children
33:37
and my children’s children children you
33:41

[Applause]
34:10
you see the bushel didn’t just feed his
34:14
wetland it was through this bushel then
34:20
he fed his children and his children’s
34:23
children and his children’s children’s
34:26
children it only looked like he was
34:29
bringing the bushel to his brethren in
34:32
reality this bushel fed his children
34:39
changed his destiny brought him to a
34:44
place of positioning they brought him
34:49
before the king I feel God drawing you
34:56
to the king the worst thing you can do
35:00
when you get in the presence of
35:02
greatness is try to be important
35:06
the worst thing it is the most common
35:10
thing I see people do when they walk in
35:12
a room in their out Goong it’s gonna be
35:15
now gone they try to impress you but the
35:19
smartest thing you can do in a great
35:22
room is to say how can I serve you what
35:28
how can I compete with you how can i
35:33
duplicate you how can I serve I just I
35:38
just want I just come here I just want
35:42
to I just want to push it forward
35:45
anything I can do anything I can do any
35:51
gift I got that can push you forward
35:54
I’ll use it to help you cuz you know
35:58
what I found out every time I push you
36:02
I’m going on to MIT I don’t know lamb
36:06
creature – I don’t know who I’m talking
36:09
to this morning I feel like I’m talking
36:15
to the bosom you are a push somebody
36:19
this morning look at your neighbors and
36:21

36:26
push you let me push you let me push cuz
36:32
if I can just push you if I can just
36:35
push you the higher you go
36:38
[Applause]
36:44
I will say this and I will get out of
36:47
your way
36:49
suppose Jessie’s conversation with his
36:53
son would have gone like the
36:55
conversation we have in the day where I
37:00
want you to go down there and take your
37:03
brother’s lunch we’ve been fighting out
37:06
there 40 days make it a week now once
37:09
you go bring them some lunch
37:14
[Applause]
37:18
I’m a brony they should have packed
37:24
before he left don’t you know that
37:27
there’s an anointing on me to be king I
37:30
don’t have time to be serving them I
37:34
already know there’s all serve me it
37:42
would have been the greatest mistake of
37:46
his life because everything that he was
37:51
going to be was not in the bag it was in
37:56
the book if he did not see the bushel as
38:02
important see most people don’t see the
38:11
bushel as important so they will throw
38:15
it down or mistreated on this handle it
38:18
or ignore it but it is the bushel that
38:23
brings you into the place where the bag
38:26
will work the bag without the bushel
38:30
will leave you playing with the animals
38:33
when you were called to the king
38:35
[Music]
38:37
you got into fat
38:39
are you gonna spend the rest of your
38:41
life playing in the force with the
38:44
animals or are you want to dwell with
38:47
the Kings and the princes of this world
38:51
because I came to tell you the bridge
38:53
between where you are and where you want
38:57
to be it’s not in your bag it’s in your
39:02
bosom
39:12
the lost art of service someone’s gone
39:23
here you want some more good evening
39:29
however my name is Helen what happened
39:38
to service yeah I have to remind myself
39:43
when I go in a regular restaurant don’t
39:46
expect great service I was in London and
39:52
I flipped completely out I flipped out I
39:56
mean out and I just I relapse forgive me
39:59
I lost it I had a meltdown like I was
40:03
before I flip cuz ago gave me bad
40:08
service I didn’t realize then over there
40:14
the restaurant I was in was a low-skill
40:17
restaurant
40:27
the simple thing of service has become
40:32
so valuable then if you want it you have
40:35
to pay more see wait you don’t see it
40:43
you don’t see you don’t see it the
40:48
service goes up with the price if you
40:54
want great service you gotta pay more to
41:00
get it you cannot pay less and get great
41:03
service you understand that about the
41:08
restaurant but why when God gives you a
41:13
bushel do you see it as nothing because
41:19
the most valuable thing is great service
41:23
and yet you serve as if it is punishment
41:30
you won’t even serve your spouse because
41:36
you are 21st century peace
41:41
and if you won’t serve each other then
41:46
how will the kids sir
41:49
so we when they get in the wall where
41:52
service is priceless they don’t have any
41:57
value this one I’m trying to say I want
41:59
you to see this I’ll be through you must
42:03
see the little things as big you have to
42:09
see the bustle as important not an ends
42:15
to a means to an even I’m just doing
42:20
this so I get in the road until you
42:24
bring the bustle with excellence you
42:33
will never find out who you are because
42:39
greatness is determined in weakness
42:46
it is not where I would get to take
42:52
myself greatness is not determined by
42:56
how high you can go greatness is
43:01
determined by how low you go and so when
43:05
Jesus got ready to beat the devil he
43:09
didn’t go high he went alone and Paul
43:14
said he humble could go and see until
43:21
you learn how to humble yourself you
43:25
will never kill your giant until your
43:29
giant looked at you and faith
43:32
what am i a dog that you would send this
43:38
boy to fight me until you’re willing to
43:42
be called a boy until you’re willing to
43:47
be underestimated
43:52
until you willing to come down in the
43:54
field Senate I know it ain’t much but I
43:58
will give it to God and God won’t give
44:02
it to you David was willing to go down
44:09
the Bible said it this way and it is
44:12
quite profound it says it’s about Jesus
44:14
it says he became poor that through his
44:21
poverty you might be made rich it’s just
44:26
another way of saying he humbled himself
44:29
which is just another way of saying
44:32
bushels over bags service over fine
44:40
seating
44:43
then if you serve with excellence you
44:50
make a name for yourself
44:55
Jesus tricked him they were looking for
45:00
him in the high places he was born in
45:06
the low they never would have looked in
45:08
the barn by him showing up in low places
45:20
he moves past the enemy slipped into a
45:26
position and at the moment of his
45:31
greatest weakness they hung him high
45:38
they stressed see where it was so bad
45:44
that the ground got nervous and started
45:51
trembling and the son said I keep
45:54
watching it’s indication I can’t even
45:57
shine today the Centurion said surely
46:01
this man his son is our lightning flash
46:03
thunder roll he hung his hand and lots
46:05
of his shoulders and in front of his
46:08
disciples stripped naked naked he died
46:17
God where’s your gospel he died where’s
46:24
your water walking Jesus he died
46:27
where’s your Jesus on the Mount of
46:30
Transfiguration
46:30
he died where’s the hill of the woman
46:34
with his her blood he died people threw
46:38
up his hands and started cussing Thomas
46:42
started doubting all of them said maybe
46:45
he was a phony and a fraud they didn’t
46:49
recognize him
46:50
cuz they were look at her he died
47:00
for three days he was willing to look
47:04
bad
47:06
[Applause]
47:08
for three days he was willing to be a
47:12
joke but the joke was on them because
47:17
early Sunday morning he got up with all
47:26
power in his hands that all death where
47:33
is your sting ray where’s your victory
47:38
Goliath why his yoga trick there how did
47:44
you beat death he’s been admitted by
47:46
dying how did you beat the grave I did
47:51
it my boy
47:52
I didn’t buy it I borrowed it because I
47:56
knew the power of hundred my silk if you
48:00
go down you go up but if you go up you
48:09
go down if you surf you’ll be a leader
48:18
but if you insist on leading you’ll
48:22
always be a slave Jesus made a name for
48:33
himself he made a name for himself by
48:43
his service stand to your feet we have
49:02
been conditioned to glamorize the stage
49:12
we want our name acknowledged and please
49:15
spell it right give me the hot seat make
49:23
me feel important I came to worship the
49:28
Lord but the Lord you’re worshiping is
49:33
washing feet
49:38
when was the last time you wash feet
49:44
[Music]
49:49
when was a lifetime you said how can i
49:55
push you let me push you when was the
50:00
last time you glorified giving service
50:10
we have created a sick and diseased
50:16
country it’s just everywhere you look
50:25
we got people fighting to be the leader
50:32
but nobody wants to serve the people
50:35
they leave it is a tragedy today we run
50:47
for office like dogs chase cars the dog
50:55
that chases the car never stops to think
50:57
I couldn’t drive it if I caught
51:03
[Applause]
51:12
they do you can drive in a can you catch
51:19
it the question is can you brother why
51:26
would you chase something you can’t
51:32
drive don’t have for somebody if if the
51:44
person you’re touching had someone to
51:52
serve the person you touch it at someone
51:59
they could help they will get healed by
52:05
helping
52:12
but they’re looking in all the high
52:14
places and Jesus is hanging at all the
52:16
low places they’re looking for the bag
52:21
but God is calling for the bullshit it’s
52:27
somebody right now you’re doing
52:29
something right now it doesn’t seem
52:30
important than seeing major doesn’t seem
52:32
big but it’s your bushel yes and God is
52:38
going to use that bushel to bring you
52:41
before great land if you give up your
52:45
bushel you don’t give up your blessing
52:50
because it is the bushel that shows you
52:54
what to do with the bay and I don’t know
52:58
who you are but the Lord sent me here to
53:00
share this message with you
53:02
to say don’t give up your bushel I know
53:07
it didn’t look importantly then look
53:09
like much it might be mundane you
53:13
deserve in the Brethren what’s your
53:16
blessing is it your service squeeze the
53:20
person’s hand you’re touching right now
53:22
I am trying that when this service is
53:27
over that you go into full-fledged
53:30
unadulterated service hallelujah that
53:37
you would start creating ways to make
53:39
yourself useful to other people rather
53:42
than thinking of who you could use next
53:47
I’m praying to God that somehow the
53:51
person that you’re touching right now
53:53
will find a way to be useful to somebody
53:55
else
53:57
because when you are truly useful then
54:01
you are truly valuable father make them
54:05
know that you pay more for good service
54:13
make us good servants you said in your
54:19
word the worst thing we could be is an
54:21
unprofitable servant that you expect a
54:27
return off of our service the person I’m
54:31
touching right now Lord needs to become
54:33
a profitable servant let them see value
54:39
in what they bring to the table
54:43

54:47
insecurity I rebuke intimidation I
54:50

he’s going to read and rebuke the
55:24
enemies that stood in your face he’s
55:27
getting ready to bind the devil hand and
55:29
foot but has raised his voice against
55:33
the armies of God but the way he’s going
55:38
to do it is not do your bag it’s gonna
55:42
start through your bushel as you serve
