The holy spirit wanted to do something special.
00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:47.564
To do something special. when i saw the date,
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:49.032

When i saw that it landed on our entire country celebrating
00:01:50.934 --> 00:01:53.636
When i saw
00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:56.940
When i saw our president say,
00:01:57.006 --> 00:01:58.208
When i saw our president say, "today is liberation day,"
00:01:58.274 --> 00:02:00.577
Our president say, "today is liberation day," the only thing i thought about
00:02:00.643 --> 00:02:02.078
"today is liberation day," the only thing i thought about is there's the only place
00:02:02.145 --> 00:02:03.379
The only thing i thought about is there's the only place you can get liberty.
00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:04.447
Is there's the only place you can get liberty. where the spirit
00:02:04.514 --> 00:02:05.548
You can get liberty. where the spirit of the lord is,
00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:06.683
Where the spirit of the lord is, there is liberty.
00:02:06.749 --> 00:02:07.984
Of the lord is, there is liberty. i think about
00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:09.252
There is liberty. i think about our founding fathers.
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.420
I think about our founding fathers. i think about how they would
00:02:10.486 --> 00:02:11.721
Our founding fathers. i think about how they would hold church services
00:02:11.788 --> 00:02:12.922
I think about how they would hold church services in that rotunda.
00:02:12.989 --> 00:02:14.123
Hold church services in that rotunda. can you imagine it?
00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:15.291
In that rotunda. can you imagine it? looking up into the heavens,
00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:16.492
Can you imagine it? looking up into the heavens, seeing the power
00:02:16.559 --> 00:02:17.694
Looking up into the heavens, seeing the power and the spirit of god
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:18.795
Seeing the power and the spirit of god move on our nation.
00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:19.963
And the spirit of god move on our nation. i knew that god was
00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:21.030
Move on our nation. i knew that god was doing something special.
00:02:21.097 --> 00:02:22.065
I knew that god was doing something special. i knew it wasn't about me
00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:23.233
Doing something special. i knew it wasn't about me because no man knows
00:02:23.299 --> 00:02:24.334
I knew it wasn't about me because no man knows what he should pray
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.401
Because no man knows what he should pray as he ought.
00:02:25.468 --> 00:02:26.469
What he should pray as he ought. that's why i never wrote
00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:27.503
As he ought. that's why i never wrote anything down like
00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:28.538
That's why i never wrote anything down like you never wrote anything down,
00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:29.839
Anything down like you never wrote anything down, just from my heart,
00:02:29.906 --> 00:02:30.974
You never wrote anything down, just from my heart, just praying
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:32.075
Just from my heart, just praying in the spirit of god,
00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:33.276
Just praying in the spirit of god, glorified his son jesus.
00:02:33.343 --> 00:02:34.344

And get baptized. we've had atheists coming to our church saying,

We've had atheists coming to our church saying, "i never believed in jesus,

Coming to our church saying, "i never believed in jesus, never believed in the church

"i never believed in jesus, never believed in the church but when you prayed that day,

I talked to you with as great an anointing as martin luther king had.

As great an anointing as martin luther king had. lorenzo: thank you!

Lorenzo: thank you! james: i think it's actually for
00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:10.246
James: i think it's actually for a greater moment in history.
00:03:10.313 --> 00:03:11.547
It's actually for a greater moment in history. martin luther king
00:03:11.614 --> 00:03:13.182
A greater moment in history. martin luther king was just such a gift,
00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:15.418
Martin luther king was just such a gift, and i think that
00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:16.586
Was just such a gift, and i think that lorenzo is a gift.
00:03:16.653 --> 00:03:18.121
And i think that lorenzo is a gift. i believe he is a gift at
00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:19.355
Lorenzo is a gift. i believe he is a gift at a time when the whole church
00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:22.492
I believe he is a gift at a time when the whole church can begin to look like jesus,
00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:25.928
A time when the whole church can begin to look like jesus, when the family of the father
00:03:25.995 --> 00:03:28.064
Can begin to look like jesus, when the family of the father will begin to look like him.
00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:29.899
When the family of the father will begin to look like him. i sense that people
00:03:29.966 --> 00:03:31.267
Will begin to look like him. i sense that people are going to begin to love
00:03:31.334 --> 00:03:32.568
I sense that people are going to begin to love one another across
00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:33.736
Are going to begin to love one another across all barriers and lines.
00:03:33.803 --> 00:03:35.538
One another across all barriers and lines. do you sense that
00:03:35.605 --> 00:03:37.607
All barriers and lines. do you sense that miraculously beginning
00:03:37.674 --> 00:03:38.675
Do you sense that miraculously beginning to happen?
00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.742
Miraculously beginning to happen? lorenzo: we believe that
00:03:39.809 --> 00:03:40.810
To happen? lorenzo: we believe that there's a revival that's about
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:41.878
Lorenzo: we believe that there's a revival that's about to happen right here
00:03:41.944 --> 00:03:42.945
There's a revival that's about to happen right here in america like
00:03:43.012 --> 00:03:44.013
To happen right here in america like we've never seen,
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.081
In america like we've never seen, like even back in your day
00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:46.316
We've never seen, like even back in your day when you saw stadiums
00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:47.383
Like even back in your day when you saw stadiums filled with people.
00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:48.451
When you saw stadiums filled with people. i believe for such a time
00:03:48.518 --> 00:03:49.686
Filled with people. i believe for such a time as this, when the devil
00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:50.753
I believe for such a time as this, when the devil meant it for evil,
00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:52.455
As this, when the devil meant it for evil, god is about to work it out
00:03:52.522 --> 00:03:53.656
Meant it for evil, god is about to work it out for good in our nation
00:03:53.723 --> 00:03:54.724
God is about to work it out for good in our nation in ways that
00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:55.792
Betty: i believe people
00:03:56.959 --> 00:03:58.127
Betty: i believe people are at a desperation point.
00:03:58.194 --> 00:03:59.629
Are at a desperation point. they are looking
00:03:59.696 --> 00:04:00.763
They are looking for real truth
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:02.065
For real truth and that truth is jesus.
00:04:02.131 --> 00:04:03.733
And that truth is jesus. and if we wear god's armor
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.568
And on our countenance,
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:08.237
And on our countenance, they're going to see him,
00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:09.906
And on our countenance, they're going to see him, aren't they?
00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:10.973
They're going to see him, aren't they? lorenzo: amen. amen!

Aren't they? lorenzo: amen. amen! james: we have a very
00:04:12.108 --> 00:04:13.276
In a lot of ways.
00:04:14.477 --> 00:04:15.445
In a lot of ways. you didn't have
00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:16.612
You didn't have a stable home, i didn't.
00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:18.381
A stable home, i didn't. i was a product of a rape.
00:04:18.448 --> 00:04:19.749
I was a product of a rape. my mother gave me away
00:04:19.816 --> 00:04:20.883
My mother gave me away with an ad in the paper
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:22.418
And kept me for ten years
00:04:24.387 --> 00:04:27.390
And kept me for ten years of no houses on the street,
00:04:27.457 --> 00:04:29.025
And kept me for ten years of no houses on the street, no decent place to live.
00:04:29.092 --> 00:04:31.127
Of no houses on the street, no decent place to live. my life just went to hell,
00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:34.597
No decent place to live. my life just went to hell, and i had to run away
00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:35.865
My life just went to hell, and i had to run away from home because the man

And i had to run away from home because the man that raped my mother came
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:38.668
From home because the man that raped my mother came back into our home and tried
00:04:38.735 --> 00:04:40.036
That raped my mother came back into our home and tried to kill her and said
00:04:40.103 --> 00:04:41.337
Back into our home and tried to kill her and said he was going to kill me.
00:04:41.404 --> 00:04:42.672
To kill her and said he was going to kill me. i nearly killed him,

He was going to kill me. i nearly killed him, and i ran away.

I nearly killed him, and i ran away. it was in that place
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:47.944
And i ran away. it was in that place that jesus got a hold of me.

On the planet to preach. and then when he called me to preach, he told me
00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:58.054
And then when he called me to preach, he told me i was to never use notes.
00:04:58.121 --> 00:04:59.922
To preach, he told me i was to never use notes. well, i was talking with you,
00:04:59.989 --> 00:05:01.691
I was to never use notes. well, i was talking with you, and your wife molly
00:05:01.758 --> 00:05:03.659
Well, i was talking with you, and your wife molly was sitting there listening,
00:05:03.726 --> 00:05:05.061
And your wife molly was sitting there listening, but you don't use notes.
00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:06.262
Was sitting there listening, but you don't use notes. is that true?
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:07.330
I believe that the spirit
00:05:08.498 --> 00:05:09.632
I believe that the spirit of god, in each moment
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:11.467
Of god, in each moment if you seek him in secret,
00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:13.803
If you seek him in secret, he will reward you openly
00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:15.671
We talked about that, right?
00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:18.541
We talked about that, right? preaching and praying
00:05:18.608 --> 00:05:20.109
We talked about that, right? preaching and praying and ministering
00:05:20.176 --> 00:05:21.244
Preaching and praying and ministering from the overflow.
00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:22.412
And ministering from the overflow. when you sit at his feet,
00:05:22.478 --> 00:05:23.479
From the overflow. when you sit at his feet, you have the confidence
00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:24.714
When you sit at his feet, you have the confidence to know that
00:05:24.781 --> 00:05:25.948
You have the confidence to know that he's able to come in and
00:05:26.015 --> 00:05:27.049
To know that he's able to come in and in any moment he's able to
00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:28.184
He's able to come in and in any moment he's able to minister an in-season word
00:05:28.251 --> 00:05:30.353
In any moment he's able to minister an in-season word or rhema word.
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:31.888
Minister an in-season word or rhema word. the bible says it's like
00:05:31.954 --> 00:05:33.389
Or rhema word. the bible says it's like apples of gold
00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:34.524
The bible says it's like apples of gold in the setting of silver.
00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:36.325
Apples of gold in the setting of silver. jesus said, "give us
00:05:36.392 --> 00:05:37.794
In the setting of silver. jesus said, "give us this day our daily bread."
00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:38.928
Jesus said, "give us this day our daily bread." now, we know he wasn't
00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:40.062
This day our daily bread." now, we know he wasn't talking about food because
00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:41.130
Now, we know he wasn't talking about food because earlier he said,
00:05:41.197 --> 00:05:42.198
Talking about food because earlier he said, "don't think about
00:05:42.265 --> 00:05:43.266
Earlier he said, "don't think about what you shall eat,
00:05:43.332 --> 00:05:44.333
"don't think about what you shall eat, drink, or wear."
00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:45.401
What you shall eat, drink, or wear." we know he was talking about
00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:46.702
Drink, or wear." we know he was talking about the bread of life, him,
00:05:46.769 --> 00:05:47.770
We know he was talking about the bread of life, him, the sustenance for our soul.
00:05:47.837 --> 00:05:48.838
The bread of life, him, the sustenance for our soul. so when we stand up
00:05:48.905 --> 00:05:49.906
The sustenance for our soul. so when we stand up and minister the gospel
00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:50.973
So when we stand up and minister the gospel of jesus christ, we do it
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.275
And minister the gospel of jesus christ, we do it in such a way that
00:05:52.341 --> 00:05:53.342
Of jesus christ, we do it in such a way that we believe that god can
00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:54.410
In such a way that we believe that god can do it in the moment.
00:05:54.477 --> 00:05:55.478
We believe that god can do it in the moment. it's the same thing
00:05:55.545 --> 00:05:56.546
Do it in the moment. it's the same thing when we prayed
00:05:56.612 --> 00:05:57.613
It's the same thing when we prayed at the inauguration.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.681
When we prayed at the inauguration. a lot of people asked me,
00:05:58.748 --> 00:05:59.982
At the inauguration. a lot of people asked me, "why didn't you write down
00:06:00.049 --> 00:06:01.050
A lot of people asked me, "why didn't you write down your prayer?"
00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:02.118
"why didn't you write down your prayer?" i told them, "because
00:06:02.185 --> 00:06:03.186
Your prayer?" i told them, "because i'm praying to my father.
00:06:03.252 --> 00:06:04.253
I told them, "because i'm praying to my father. you're just overhearing
00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:05.321
I'm praying to my father. you're just overhearing the message.
00:06:05.388 --> 00:06:06.389
You're just overhearing the message. i'm talking to the king
00:06:06.456 --> 00:06:07.457
The message. i'm talking to the king of kings, to my father.
00:06:07.523 --> 00:06:08.524
I'm talking to the king of kings, to my father. you're just being blessed
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:09.592
Of kings, to my father. you're just being blessed by the message."
00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.660
You're just being blessed by the message." james: well, and they are.
00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:11.761
Okay. tell me what you see
00:06:11.861 --> 00:06:13.062
Okay. tell me what you see god doing.
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:14.263
God brought us together.
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:16.432
God brought us together. i feel like god, literally,
00:06:16.499 --> 00:06:17.867
I feel like god, literally, in some ways, brought me
00:06:17.934 --> 00:06:19.035
Of a spiritual father.
00:06:21.771 --> 00:06:23.539
Of a spiritual father. you know, i'm 80
00:06:23.606 --> 00:06:25.041
Of a spiritual father. you know, i'm 80 and you're what 20?
00:06:25.107 --> 00:06:28.478
You know, i'm 80 and you're what 20? anyway, don't you feel like
00:06:28.544 --> 00:06:29.879
And you're what 20? anyway, don't you feel like god did bring us together?
00:06:29.946 --> 00:06:31.280
Anyway, don't you feel like god did bring us together? i was drawn to you,
00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:32.782
God did bring us together? i was drawn to you, and i just simply offered
00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:33.883
I was drawn to you, and i just simply offered to help.
00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:35.051
And i just simply offered to help. i found out that you have
00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:36.586
To help. i found out that you have such a heart for the homeless,
00:06:36.652 --> 00:06:38.488
I found out that you have such a heart for the homeless, for the hurting,
00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:39.555
Such a heart for the homeless, for the hurting, for the people that
00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:40.823
For the hurting, for the people that have been trampled,
00:06:40.890 --> 00:06:41.891
For the people that have been trampled, that never had a home.
00:06:41.958 --> 00:06:43.493
Have been trampled, that never had a home. what turned you on this way?
00:06:43.559 --> 00:06:46.395
That never had a home. what turned you on this way? why is it that you feel like
00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:48.297
What turned you on this way? why is it that you feel like you're supposed to yield
00:06:48.364 --> 00:06:49.999
Why is it that you feel like you're supposed to yield your life to him
00:06:50.066 --> 00:06:51.200
You're supposed to yield your life to him and let him flow his word
00:06:51.267 --> 00:06:52.335
Your life to him and let him flow his word through you?
00:06:52.401 --> 00:06:53.336
And let him flow his word through you? kind of like he did with me.
00:06:53.402 --> 00:06:54.470
Through you? kind of like he did with me. told me not to use notes.
00:06:54.537 --> 00:06:55.738
Kind of like he did with me. told me not to use notes. you don't use them.
00:06:55.805 --> 00:06:57.573
Told me not to use notes. you don't use them. you could if you needed to
00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:58.808
You don't use them. you could if you needed to or wanted to.
00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:00.042
You could if you needed to or wanted to. but what do you think
00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:01.143
Or wanted to. but what do you think god is in the process
00:07:01.210 --> 00:07:04.013
But what do you think god is in the process of doing right now?
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.681
God is in the process of doing right now? lorenzo: jesus is in
00:07:05.748 --> 00:07:06.749
Of doing right now? lorenzo: jesus is in the business of going
00:07:06.816 --> 00:07:07.817
Lorenzo: jesus is in the business of going to the disenfranchised,
00:07:07.884 --> 00:07:09.519
The business of going to the disenfranchised, the marginalized,
00:07:09.585 --> 00:07:10.820
To the disenfranchised, the marginalized, and the pushed-aside.
00:07:10.887 --> 00:07:12.255
The marginalized, and the pushed-aside. we've seen that
00:07:12.321 --> 00:07:13.322
And the pushed-aside. we've seen that in our ministry.
00:07:13.389 --> 00:07:14.557
We've seen that in our ministry. we've seen it where
00:07:14.624 --> 00:07:15.691
In our ministry. we've seen it where jesus will bring to us
00:07:15.758 --> 00:07:16.926
We've seen it where jesus will bring to us those who are home-free;
00:07:16.993 --> 00:07:18.060
Jesus will bring to us those who are home-free; we don't call them homeless.
00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:19.595
Those who are home-free; we don't call them homeless. we believe that god wants us
00:07:19.662 --> 00:07:20.663
We don't call them homeless. we believe that god wants us to raise up an army of urban
00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:23.533
We believe that god wants us to raise up an army of urban missionaries in the city
00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:26.168
To raise up an army of urban missionaries in the city to reach the world.
00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:27.169
Missionaries in the city to reach the world. we believe that jesus christ
00:07:27.236 --> 00:07:28.638
To reach the world. we believe that jesus christ wants us to raise up
00:07:28.704 --> 00:07:30.473
We believe that jesus christ wants us to raise up all throughout this nation,
00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:32.141
Wants us to raise up all throughout this nation, urban missionaries;
00:07:32.208 --> 00:07:33.376
All throughout this nation, urban missionaries; people who understand the pain
00:07:33.442 --> 00:07:35.211
Urban missionaries; people who understand the pain right in their context
00:07:35.278 --> 00:07:37.079
People who understand the pain right in their context and their jerusalem
00:07:37.146 --> 00:07:38.347
Right in their context and their jerusalem so they then can go to judea,
00:07:38.414 --> 00:07:39.815
And their jerusalem so they then can go to judea, then samaria,
00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:40.883
So they then can go to judea, then samaria, then to the uttermost parts
00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:41.951
Then samaria, then to the uttermost parts of the world.
00:07:42.018 --> 00:07:43.019
Then to the uttermost parts of the world. now why is that?
00:07:43.085 --> 00:07:44.086
Of the world. now why is that? because jesus said,
00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:45.154
Now why is that? because jesus said, that's when
00:07:45.221 --> 00:07:46.222
Because jesus said, that's when the holy spirit comes.
00:07:46.289 --> 00:07:47.290
That's when the holy spirit comes. see, the holy spirit
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:48.357
The holy spirit comes. see, the holy spirit doesn't empower us
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:49.425
See, the holy spirit doesn't empower us to do anything but
00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:50.493
Doesn't empower us to do anything but be his witnesses.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.561
To do anything but be his witnesses. so that people can know
00:07:51.627 --> 00:07:52.628
Be his witnesses. so that people can know the king of kings
00:07:52.695 --> 00:07:53.696
So that people can know the king of kings and the lord of lords.
00:07:53.763 --> 00:07:54.764
The king of kings and the lord of lords. we know that time is short
00:07:54.830 --> 00:07:55.998
And the lord of lords. we know that time is short and there will be a day
00:07:56.065 --> 00:07:57.199
We know that time is short and there will be a day that we will all have
00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:58.267
And there will be a day that we will all have to stand before him
00:07:58.334 --> 00:07:59.335
That we will all have to stand before him and give an account of
00:07:59.402 --> 00:08:00.403
To stand before him and give an account of what we've done in our body,
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:01.637
And give an account of what we've done in our body, whether good or evil.
00:08:01.704 --> 00:08:02.705
What we've done in our body, whether good or evil. i want him to say on that day,
00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:04.440
Whether good or evil. i want him to say on that day, "well done, my good
00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:05.508
James: well, immediately,
00:08:06.676 --> 00:08:07.643
James: well, immediately, when i found out you were
00:08:07.710 --> 00:08:09.278
When i found out you were trying to help the people
00:08:09.345 --> 00:08:10.613
Trying to help the people who desperately needed help,
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.681
Who desperately needed help, we gave you
00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:12.748
We gave you a pretty large gift.
00:08:12.815 --> 00:08:14.216
You're doing right now.
00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:16.986
You're doing right now. lorenzo: so right now
00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:18.087
You're doing right now. lorenzo: so right now we're helping young men
00:08:18.154 --> 00:08:19.121
So typically, in our context,
00:08:20.222 --> 00:08:21.157
So typically, in our context, when you age out
00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:22.258
When you age out of foster care, young men,
00:08:22.325 --> 00:08:23.326
Of foster care, young men, they're home-free.
00:08:23.392 --> 00:08:24.327
They're home-free. the reason why we focus
00:08:24.393 --> 00:08:25.461
The reason why we focus on young men is because
00:08:25.528 --> 00:08:26.562
On young men is because if you can get a man right,
00:08:26.629 --> 00:08:27.897
If you can get a man right, then the family
00:08:27.964 --> 00:08:28.898
We're here in this
00:08:29.999 --> 00:08:32.134
We're here in this living room, we're inviting
00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:34.136
We're here in this living room, we're inviting the viewers into the home
00:08:34.203 --> 00:08:36.672
Living room, we're inviting the viewers into the home so they can be able
00:08:36.739 --> 00:08:37.673
The viewers into the home so they can be able to have the father's home.
00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:39.175
So they can be able to have the father's home. that's what we're doing here.
00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:40.343
To have the father's home. that's what we're doing here. it's the same thing.
00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:41.677
That's what we're doing here. it's the same thing. if we're able to minister
00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:42.945
It's the same thing. if we're able to minister to young men and teach them
00:08:43.012 --> 00:08:44.513
If we're able to minister to young men and teach them how to love jesus with all
00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:45.548
To young men and teach them how to love jesus with all their heart, all their mind,
00:08:45.615 --> 00:08:46.582
How to love jesus with all their heart, all their mind, all their soul,
00:08:46.649 --> 00:08:47.650
Their heart, all their mind, all their soul, and all their strength,
00:08:47.717 --> 00:08:48.884
All their soul, and all their strength, if we're willing to reach out
00:08:48.951 --> 00:08:50.119
And all their strength, if we're willing to reach out to the peters, as it were,
00:08:50.186 --> 00:08:51.354
If we're willing to reach out to the peters, as it were, to the johns, to those
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:53.189
To the peters, as it were, to the johns, to those that the community, perhaps,
00:08:53.255 --> 00:08:55.091
To the johns, to those that the community, perhaps, would say there's no way
00:08:55.157 --> 00:08:56.892
That the community, perhaps, would say there's no way jesus can meet them.
00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:58.427
Would say there's no way jesus can meet them. we feel that if we have
00:08:58.494 --> 00:09:00.262
Jesus can meet them. we feel that if we have a mechanism through
00:09:00.329 --> 00:09:01.697
We feel that if we have a mechanism through transportation, housing,
00:09:01.764 --> 00:09:03.633
A mechanism through transportation, housing, and education, in healing

And now, we have a plan to build homes so that young men

To build homes so that young men don't have to worry about

So that young men don't have to worry about living in an atmosphere that
00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:31.160
Don't have to worry about living in an atmosphere that pulls them away from christ,
00:09:31.227 --> 00:09:32.628
Living in an atmosphere that pulls them away from christ, we want them to be

Pulls them away from christ, we want them to be in the atmosphere where

We want them to be in the atmosphere where they can be disciples
00:09:34.930 --> 00:09:35.865
In the atmosphere where they can be disciples of the lord jesus christ.
00:09:35.931 --> 00:09:36.899
They can be disciples of the lord jesus christ. james: this has started
00:09:36.966 --> 00:09:38.034
Of the lord jesus christ. james: this has started in detroit.
00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:39.301
James: this has started in detroit. do you see it spreading
00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:40.403
In detroit. do you see it spreading to the whole nation?
00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:41.604
Do you see it spreading to the whole nation? lorenzo: this is why.
00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.039
To the whole nation? lorenzo: this is why. because if you do what --
00:09:43.105 --> 00:09:44.707
Lorenzo: this is why. because if you do what -- jesus had the best model.
00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:46.075
Because if you do what -- jesus had the best model. we don't have to reinvent
00:09:46.142 --> 00:09:47.309
Jesus had the best model. we don't have to reinvent the wheel, right?
00:09:47.376 --> 00:09:48.344
We don't have to reinvent the wheel, right? he had the best model.
00:09:48.411 --> 00:09:49.412
The wheel, right? he had the best model. he took a group of men,
00:09:49.478 --> 00:09:50.646
He had the best model. he took a group of men, he took a group of people
00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:52.014
He took a group of men, he took a group of people like you and i, right?
00:09:52.081 --> 00:09:53.182
He took a group of people like you and i, right? people that the world
00:09:53.249 --> 00:09:54.450
Like you and i, right? people that the world will say we're trash but
00:09:54.517 --> 00:09:55.751
People that the world will say we're trash but god made us his treasure.
00:09:55.818 --> 00:09:58.387
Will say we're trash but god made us his treasure. what other people say is trash
00:09:58.454 --> 00:10:00.256
God made us his treasure. what other people say is trash -- he's a great recycler,
00:10:00.322 --> 00:10:01.490
What other people say is trash -- he's a great recycler, isn't he?
00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:02.692
-- he's a great recycler, isn't he? jesus is the great recycler
00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:03.926
Isn't he? jesus is the great recycler through his redemption
00:10:03.993 --> 00:10:05.061
Jesus is the great recycler through his redemption and his power.
00:10:05.127 --> 00:10:06.228
Through his redemption and his power. you take these young men
00:10:06.295 --> 00:10:07.363
And his power. you take these young men all throughout the country,
00:10:07.430 --> 00:10:09.065
You take these young men all throughout the country, once they understand
00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:10.433
All throughout the country, once they understand the gospel, then they will
00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:11.834
Once they understand the gospel, then they will have a heart not only to reach
00:10:11.901 --> 00:10:12.935
The gospel, then they will have a heart not only to reach their community but then
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:14.170
Have a heart not only to reach their community but then to reach the nations.
00:10:14.236 --> 00:10:15.438
Their community but then to reach the nations. we want to be a church
00:10:15.504 --> 00:10:16.839
To reach the nations. we want to be a church in the city to reach
00:10:16.906 --> 00:10:18.774
We want to be a church in the city to reach the nations.
00:10:18.841 --> 00:10:19.909
In the city to reach the nations. because jesus said, what?
00:10:19.975 --> 00:10:21.043
The nations. because jesus said, what? "my house shall be called
00:10:21.110 --> 00:10:22.912
Because jesus said, what? "my house shall be called a house of prayer
00:10:22.978 --> 00:10:24.113
"my house shall be called a house of prayer for every nation."
00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:26.015
A house of prayer for every nation." james: when i began
00:10:26.082 --> 00:10:27.149
For every nation." james: when i began to reach out to you,
00:10:27.216 --> 00:10:29.318
James: when i began to reach out to you, did you hear anything
00:10:29.385 --> 00:10:30.453
To reach out to you, did you hear anything in your spirit?
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:31.587
Did you hear anything in your spirit? did you, as we got together,
00:10:31.654 --> 00:10:33.155
In your spirit? did you, as we got together, and i met your precious wife.

She'll be on the next program with us. she's a treasure!

The next program with us. she's a treasure! did you hear god saying

She's a treasure! did you hear god saying anything or did this speak
00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:43.365
Did you hear god saying anything or did this speak to you in any way,
00:10:43.432 --> 00:10:44.400
Anything or did this speak to you in any way, the fact that we were pulled
00:10:44.467 --> 00:10:45.701
To you in any way, the fact that we were pulled together when we had
00:10:45.768 --> 00:10:47.036
The fact that we were pulled together when we had no idea about -- you didn't
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:49.772
Together when we had no idea about -- you didn't -- you all didn't even know
00:10:49.839 --> 00:10:50.940
No idea about -- you didn't -- you all didn't even know we had a television program.
00:10:51.006 --> 00:10:52.208
-- you all didn't even know we had a television program. you certainly
00:10:52.274 --> 00:10:53.275
We had a television program. you certainly hadn't watched it
00:10:53.342 --> 00:10:54.343
You certainly hadn't watched it and your wife hadn't.
00:10:54.410 --> 00:10:55.411
Hadn't watched it and your wife hadn't. but anyway, what did you feel

And your wife hadn't. but anyway, what did you feel after i invited you here,
00:10:56.712 --> 00:10:57.913
But anyway, what did you feel after i invited you here, and what were you hearing?
00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.148
After i invited you here, and what were you hearing? lorenzo: i got

On my knees yesterday; 3:00 in the morning, i got on my knees
00:11:02.618 --> 00:11:03.586

And i prayed for our time together. this is what i heard,
00:11:05.888 --> 00:11:06.822
Our time together. this is what i heard, "double."
00:11:06.889 --> 00:11:08.257
This is what i heard, "double." it's interesting how
00:11:08.324 --> 00:11:09.458
"double." it's interesting how god gave job
00:11:09.525 --> 00:11:10.760
It's interesting how god gave job double for his trouble.
00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:11.827
God gave job double for his trouble. we've been through a lot,
00:11:11.894 --> 00:11:13.162
Double for his trouble. we've been through a lot, but i feel like god
00:11:13.229 --> 00:11:14.497
We've been through a lot, but i feel like god is going to do double
00:11:14.563 --> 00:11:15.865
But i feel like god is going to do double with our ministries
00:11:15.931 --> 00:11:16.932
Is going to do double with our ministries working together.
00:11:16.999 --> 00:11:18.000
With our ministries working together. i look at elijah
00:11:18.067 --> 00:11:19.068
Working together. i look at elijah and then elisha.
00:11:19.135 --> 00:11:20.136
I look at elijah and then elisha. we don't talk a lot
00:11:20.202 --> 00:11:21.504
And then elisha. we don't talk a lot about elisha but
00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:22.805
We don't talk a lot about elisha but he did double the miracles.
00:11:22.872 --> 00:11:24.540
About elisha but he did double the miracles. i do believe god has placed

He did double the miracles. i do believe god has placed a mantle on your ministry,
00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:27.777
I do believe god has placed a mantle on your ministry, and i believe that

James: i believe that. has god said anything to you about this couple?
00:11:33.983 --> 00:11:34.950
Has god said anything to you about this couple? betty: they're
00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:36.085
To you about this couple? betty: they're a wonderful couple!

Jesus is first in their life.
00:11:38.721 --> 00:11:41.557
Jesus is first in their life. that's just beautiful
00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:42.858

00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:47.563
By accident or anything.
00:11:48.864 --> 00:11:50.432
By accident or anything. it was god's prophetic timing
00:11:50.499 --> 00:11:52.067
By accident or anything. it was god's prophetic timing for us to see you that day
00:11:52.134 --> 00:11:54.503
It was god's prophetic timing for us to see you that day there with the president
00:11:54.570 --> 00:11:55.805
For us to see you that day there with the president coming into office.
00:11:55.871 --> 00:11:57.173

Mainly is what we did. when i heard you pray, i think i remember, i stood up
00:12:02.111 --> 00:12:03.946
When i heard you pray, i think i remember, i stood up and raised my hands.
00:12:04.013 --> 00:12:05.014
I think i remember, i stood up and raised my hands. i said, "god, thank you."
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.515
And raised my hands. i said, "god, thank you." and so i don't think
00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:07.616
I said, "god, thank you." and so i don't think anything's an accident.
00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.185
And so i don't think anything's an accident. what god plans for a union
00:12:09.251 --> 00:12:11.187
Anything's an accident. what god plans for a union of two ministries together

All over the world that you have been supporting that never would have been
00:12:30.372 --> 00:12:31.507
You have been supporting that never would have been and it's going to be far
00:12:31.574 --> 00:12:33.475
That never would have been and it's going to be far after we've gone because
00:12:33.542 --> 00:12:35.077
And it's going to be far after we've gone because we're going to have in place
00:12:35.144 --> 00:12:36.512
After we've gone because we're going to have in place the opportunity of keeping it

The opportunity of keeping it going and even growing. that's what we do together.
00:12:38.981 --> 00:12:40.149
Going and even growing. that's what we do together. we couldn't do one thing
00:12:40.216 --> 00:12:41.750
That's what we do together. we couldn't do one thing that our heart moves toward
00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:44.753
We couldn't do one thing that our heart moves toward because god moves our heart
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:46.455
That our heart moves toward because god moves our heart toward that situation;
00:12:46.522 --> 00:12:47.690
Because god moves our heart toward that situation; we could not address
00:12:47.756 --> 00:12:48.991
Toward that situation; we could not address the situation without you.
00:12:49.058 --> 00:12:50.860
We could not address the situation without you. you are the ones
00:12:50.926 --> 00:12:52.027
The situation without you. you are the ones that enable us not
00:12:52.094 --> 00:12:53.162
You are the ones that enable us not to be empty-handed,
00:12:53.229 --> 00:12:54.263
That enable us not to be empty-handed, with a broken heart,
00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:55.564
To be empty-handed, with a broken heart, but with a broken heart

With a broken heart, but with a broken heart and offer to those hands
00:12:56.732 --> 00:12:58.968
But with a broken heart and offer to those hands food, help, life,
00:12:59.034 --> 00:13:01.403
And offer to those hands food, help, life, all that they need.
00:13:01.470 --> 00:13:02.771
Food, help, life, all that they need. you do it.
00:13:02.838 --> 00:13:04.073
All that they need. you do it. i believe god's going
00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:05.140
You do it. i believe god's going to raise people up,
00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.308
I believe god's going to raise people up, and i believe he'll help us
00:13:06.375 --> 00:13:07.977
To raise people up, and i believe he'll help us together to get the whole
00:13:08.043 --> 00:13:09.879
And i believe he'll help us together to get the whole church to begin to do
00:13:09.945 --> 00:13:11.380
Together to get the whole church to begin to do what you're talking about
00:13:11.447 --> 00:13:12.681
Church to begin to do what you're talking about where we could get god's arms
00:13:12.748 --> 00:13:14.783
What you're talking about where we could get god's arms around the whole world.
00:13:14.850 --> 00:13:15.851
Where we could get god's arms around the whole world. do you bear witness
00:13:15.918 --> 00:13:16.919
Lorenzo: i believe that with
00:13:18.087 --> 00:13:19.221
Lorenzo: i believe that with everything inside of me.
00:13:19.288 --> 00:13:20.289
Everything inside of me. because right now,
00:13:20.356 --> 00:13:21.357
Because right now, in cities like detroit,
00:13:21.423 --> 00:13:22.424
In cities like detroit, we have 4500 churches.
00:13:22.491 --> 00:13:23.492
We have 4500 churches. can you imagine that?
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.227
Can you imagine that? so we're over-churched
00:13:25.294 --> 00:13:26.395
There are no good deeds.
00:13:27.596 --> 00:13:28.998
There are no good deeds. some pastors have said
00:13:29.064 --> 00:13:30.833
There are no good deeds. some pastors have said that the greatest sin
00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:32.067
Some pastors have said that the greatest sin of the black church is not
00:13:32.134 --> 00:13:33.102
That the greatest sin of the black church is not helping their community.
00:13:33.168 --> 00:13:35.004
Of the black church is not helping their community. we feel that with
00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:36.171
Helping their community. we feel that with our connection,
00:13:36.238 --> 00:13:37.406
We feel that with our connection, we'll be able to reach
00:13:37.473 --> 00:13:38.674
Our connection, we'll be able to reach those practical needs,
00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:39.775
We'll be able to reach those practical needs, like you do all around
00:13:39.842 --> 00:13:40.943
Those practical needs, like you do all around the world, in terms of meeting
00:13:41.010 --> 00:13:42.111
Like you do all around the world, in terms of meeting the needs of the young people
00:13:42.177 --> 00:13:43.746
The world, in terms of meeting the needs of the young people where they are, meeting
00:13:43.812 --> 00:13:45.080
The needs of the young people where they are, meeting the needs of the family,
00:13:45.147 --> 00:13:46.348
Where they are, meeting the needs of the family, where they are.
00:13:46.415 --> 00:13:48.884
The needs of the family, where they are. some people talk about
00:13:48.951 --> 00:13:49.985
Where they are. some people talk about the term of exegeting
00:13:50.052 --> 00:13:51.687
Some people talk about the term of exegeting the culture, being able
00:13:51.754 --> 00:13:52.888
The term of exegeting the culture, being able to look at the culture
00:13:52.955 --> 00:13:54.123
The culture, being able to look at the culture and pull from the culture
00:13:54.189 --> 00:13:55.190
To look at the culture and pull from the culture what's happening and cast
00:13:55.257 --> 00:13:56.258
And pull from the culture what's happening and cast those cares upon christ.
00:13:56.325 --> 00:13:57.326
What's happening and cast those cares upon christ. that's one of the reasons
00:13:57.393 --> 00:13:58.394
Those cares upon christ. that's one of the reasons why we focus on
00:13:58.460 --> 00:13:59.461
That's one of the reasons why we focus on transportation.
00:13:59.528 --> 00:14:00.529
Why we focus on transportation. people can't get
00:14:00.596 --> 00:14:01.597
Transportation. people can't get to resources so they can't
00:14:01.664 --> 00:14:02.665
People can't get to resources so they can't become a resource.
00:14:02.731 --> 00:14:03.732
To resources so they can't become a resource. that's why we focus
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.800
Become a resource. that's why we focus on housing.
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:05.868
That's why we focus on housing. if you don't change
00:14:05.935 --> 00:14:06.936
You can never shift
00:14:08.103 --> 00:14:09.071
You can never shift their paradigm.
00:14:09.138 --> 00:14:10.139
Their paradigm. the bible says
00:14:10.205 --> 00:14:11.206
The bible says we're transformed by
00:14:11.273 --> 00:14:12.274
We're transformed by the renewing of our minds.
00:14:12.341 --> 00:14:13.342
The renewing of our minds. this is why
00:14:13.409 --> 00:14:14.410
This is why we focus on education.
00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:15.477
We focus on education. we understand that
00:14:15.544 --> 00:14:16.545
But soft skills.
00:14:17.713 --> 00:14:18.681
But soft skills. it's learned how to look
00:14:18.747 --> 00:14:19.748
But soft skills. it's learned how to look at a man in his head,
00:14:19.815 --> 00:14:20.950
It's learned how to look at a man in his head, look at him in his eyes,
00:14:21.016 --> 00:14:22.117
At a man in his head, look at him in his eyes, and shake his hand.
00:14:22.184 --> 00:14:23.185
Look at him in his eyes, and shake his hand. a lot of our young men
00:14:23.252 --> 00:14:24.386
And shake his hand. a lot of our young men have never had anybody
00:14:24.453 --> 00:14:25.454
A lot of our young men have never had anybody teach them how to do that.
00:14:25.521 --> 00:14:26.689
Have never had anybody teach them how to do that. it's formal education
00:14:26.755 --> 00:14:27.756
Teach them how to do that. it's formal education and informal education.
00:14:27.823 --> 00:14:28.824
It's formal education and informal education. and then the medical, mental,
00:14:28.891 --> 00:14:31.026
And informal education. and then the medical, mental, and dental illnesses.
00:14:31.093 --> 00:14:32.094
And then the medical, mental, and dental illnesses. if you don't reach
00:14:32.161 --> 00:14:33.095
And dental illnesses. if you don't reach these practical needs,
00:14:33.162 --> 00:14:34.396
If you don't reach these practical needs, people can't see the father.
00:14:34.463 --> 00:14:36.231
These practical needs, people can't see the father. remember what jesus said?
00:14:36.298 --> 00:14:37.366
People can't see the father. remember what jesus said? jesus said,
00:14:37.433 --> 00:14:38.434
Remember what jesus said? jesus said, "do your good works before men
00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.804
Jesus said, "do your good works before men so they can glorify my father
00:14:41.870 --> 00:14:44.873
"do your good works before men so they can glorify my father which is in heaven."
00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:46.208
So they can glorify my father which is in heaven." that's what i believe
00:14:46.275 --> 00:14:47.309
Which is in heaven." that's what i believe our ministries
00:14:47.376 --> 00:14:48.377
That's what i believe our ministries can do together.
00:14:48.444 --> 00:14:49.511
Our ministries can do together. not just to stop in detroit
00:14:49.578 --> 00:14:50.679
Can do together. not just to stop in detroit but to go all over our nation,
00:14:50.746 --> 00:14:51.914
Not just to stop in detroit but to go all over our nation, and then send an army
00:14:51.981 --> 00:14:53.182
But to go all over our nation, and then send an army all over the world so that
00:14:53.248 --> 00:14:54.783
And then send an army all over the world so that we can see a great harvest
00:14:54.850 --> 00:14:55.818
All over the world so that we can see a great harvest come all for god's glory.
00:14:55.884 --> 00:14:58.087
We can see a great harvest come all for god's glory. james: we sent help to you.
00:14:58.153 --> 00:15:00.823
Come all for god's glory. james: we sent help to you. as our friends continue
00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:02.291
James: we sent help to you. as our friends continue to help us, we'll continue
00:15:02.358 --> 00:15:04.093
As our friends continue to help us, we'll continue to reach out and help you
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.294
To help us, we'll continue to reach out and help you as we do others.
00:15:05.361 --> 00:15:07.096
To reach out and help you as we do others. but if people who are
00:15:07.162 --> 00:15:08.130
As we do others. but if people who are watching say, how can
00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.131
But if people who are watching say, how can i help you build on
00:15:09.198 --> 00:15:10.866
Watching say, how can i help you build on what you're talking about that
00:15:10.933 --> 00:15:12.167
I help you build on what you're talking about that already has started there
00:15:12.234 --> 00:15:13.369
What you're talking about that already has started there in detroit, that you believe
00:15:13.435 --> 00:15:14.503
Already has started there in detroit, that you believe can go all over america?
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:15.637
In detroit, that you believe can go all over america? where would they write
00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:16.672
Can go all over america? where would they write or where would they go
00:15:16.739 --> 00:15:17.706
Where would they write or where would they go online to find it?
00:15:17.773 --> 00:15:18.807
Our ministry is at:
00:15:20.142 --> 00:15:21.377
Our ministry is at: 180church.cc.
00:15:21.443 --> 00:15:23.379

You can go right online. they can give online.

They can give online. or people can partner.
00:15:25.814 --> 00:15:26.882
Or people can partner. they can come and give
00:15:26.949 --> 00:15:28.017
They can come and give to what they're already
00:15:28.083 --> 00:15:29.084
To what they're already giving to your ministry,
00:15:29.151 --> 00:15:30.152
Giving to your ministry, and maybe they can double it.
00:15:30.219 --> 00:15:31.553
And maybe they can double it. we'll just see what
00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:32.621
James: father, thank you
00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:35.124
James: father, thank you so much.
00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:36.191
James: father, thank you so much. i do believe that
00:15:36.258 --> 00:15:37.259
So much. i do believe that i'm talking to a man
00:15:37.326 --> 00:15:39.495
I do believe that i'm talking to a man who has as great a call
00:15:39.561 --> 00:15:41.163
I'm talking to a man who has as great a call and as great a gifting
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:42.364
Who has as great a call and as great a gifting and anointing
00:15:42.431 --> 00:15:43.499
And as great a gifting and anointing as martin luther king did.
00:15:43.565 --> 00:15:44.767
And anointing as martin luther king did. to be honest, in some ways,
00:15:44.833 --> 00:15:46.802
As martin luther king did. to be honest, in some ways, i see it even deeper
00:15:46.869 --> 00:15:48.037
To be honest, in some ways, i see it even deeper and greater.
00:15:48.103 --> 00:15:49.505
I see it even deeper and greater. you have done something in him
00:15:49.571 --> 00:15:50.773
And greater. you have done something in him and in his wife that
00:15:50.839 --> 00:15:52.441
You have done something in him and in his wife that is going to, i believe,
00:15:52.508 --> 00:15:54.009
And in his wife that is going to, i believe, be like spiritual dynamite,
00:15:54.076 --> 00:15:56.412
Is going to, i believe, be like spiritual dynamite, only in a very positive sense
00:15:56.478 --> 00:15:58.013
Be like spiritual dynamite, only in a very positive sense of destroying that
00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:59.348
Only in a very positive sense of destroying that which needs to be thrown out,
00:15:59.415 --> 00:16:01.083
Of destroying that which needs to be thrown out, thrown down, and build up
00:16:01.150 --> 00:16:03.385
Which needs to be thrown out, thrown down, and build up that which must be built up.
00:16:03.452 --> 00:16:05.454
Thrown down, and build up that which must be built up. i just pray, god,
00:16:05.521 --> 00:16:06.755
That which must be built up. i just pray, god, you'll pour your blessings
00:16:06.822 --> 00:16:07.956
I just pray, god, you'll pour your blessings out all over him
00:16:08.023 --> 00:16:09.825
You'll pour your blessings out all over him and through him and his wife
00:16:09.892 --> 00:16:11.593
Out all over him and through him and his wife and the whole ministry there
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:13.028
And through him and his wife and the whole ministry there in detroit, in jesus' name.

And the whole ministry there in detroit, in jesus' name. lorenzo, we're going

We're going to be brothers forever. we're going to try to get

Be brothers forever. we're going to try to get the church family

We're going to try to get the church family to look like the father.
00:16:22.538 --> 00:16:23.639
The church family to look like the father. i believe we're going
00:16:23.705 --> 00:16:24.740
To look like the father. i believe we're going to succeed.
00:16:24.807 --> 00:16:26.041
You help us.
00:16:26.508 --> 00:16:27.776

00:16:27.843 --> 00:16:29.445
With him directly.
00:16:29.511 --> 00:16:30.846
Lorenzo, right now

And we've got 350,000
00:16:34.016 --> 00:16:36.452
Hungry, starving children
00:16:36.518 --> 00:16:38.587
And families located.
00:16:38.654 --> 00:16:40.656
We need miracle support.
00:16:40.722 --> 00:16:42.858

00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:49.531
Those children?
00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:50.933
We feed their tummies.
00:16:50.999 --> 00:16:52.534
We fill them up, and then
00:16:52.601 --> 00:16:54.169
We present jesus to them.
00:16:54.236 --> 00:16:56.205
That's a full package,
00:16:56.271 --> 00:16:57.806

You can do but do it.

So that's adam's sin. by one man's obedience, many will be made righteous.
00:23:29.364 --> 00:23:33.134
By one man's obedience, many will be made righteous. so sinners sin
00:23:33.201 --> 00:23:35.303
Many will be made righteous. so sinners sin because they are sinners.
00:23:35.370 --> 00:23:37.539
So sinners sin because they are sinners. we're not sinners
00:23:37.606 --> 00:23:39.241
Because they are sinners. we're not sinners because we sin.
00:23:39.307 --> 00:23:40.675
We're not sinners because we sin. we are sinners
00:23:40.742 --> 00:23:42.043
Because we sin. we are sinners because adam sinned.
00:23:42.110 --> 00:23:44.246
We are sinners because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners,
00:23:44.312 --> 00:23:46.615
Because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin.
00:23:46.681 --> 00:23:48.383
So adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin. now by the same token,
00:23:48.450 --> 00:23:50.118
Therefore we sin. now by the same token, it sounds so unfair;
00:23:50.185 --> 00:23:51.286
Now by the same token, it sounds so unfair; doesn't it?
00:23:51.353 --> 00:23:52.454
It sounds so unfair; doesn't it? but by the same token,
00:23:52.521 --> 00:23:53.622
Doesn't it? but by the same token, this is the divine unfairness.
00:23:53.688 --> 00:23:54.789
But by the same token, this is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience,
00:23:54.856 --> 00:23:56.925
This is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience, we're made righteous.
00:23:56.992 --> 00:23:59.528
By one man's obedience, we're made righteous. when we believe that
00:23:59.594 --> 00:24:01.563
We're made righteous. when we believe that it does not produce
00:24:01.630 --> 00:24:02.864
When we believe that it does not produce licentiousness,
00:24:02.931 --> 00:24:04.165
It does not produce licentiousness, it produces --
00:24:04.232 --> 00:24:05.367
Licentiousness, it produces -- i always say this:
00:24:05.433 --> 00:24:06.568
It produces -- i always say this: right believing
00:24:06.635 --> 00:24:07.736
I always say this: right believing produces right living.
00:24:07.802 --> 00:24:08.937
Right believing produces right living. how come sometimes
00:24:09.004 --> 00:24:10.138
Produces right living. how come sometimes we have more faith
00:24:10.205 --> 00:24:11.306
How come sometimes we have more faith in what adam has done
00:24:11.373 --> 00:24:12.474
We have more faith in what adam has done than what jesus has done.
00:24:12.541 --> 00:24:13.642
In what adam has done than what jesus has done. for example,
00:24:13.708 --> 00:24:14.809
Than what jesus has done. for example, when we were sinners,
00:24:14.876 --> 00:24:15.977
For example, when we were sinners, we knew we were taught,
00:24:16.044 --> 00:24:17.312
When we were sinners, we knew we were taught, we were preached to
00:24:17.379 --> 00:24:18.580
We knew we were taught, we were preached to and all that
00:24:18.647 --> 00:24:19.748
We were preached to and all that that you cannot save yourself
00:24:19.814 --> 00:24:20.949
And all that that you cannot save yourself by good works.
00:24:21.016 --> 00:24:22.183
That you cannot save yourself by good works. only christ can save you.
00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:23.351
By good works. only christ can save you. in other words,
00:24:23.418 --> 00:24:24.686
Only christ can save you. in other words, what the first adam did
00:24:24.753 --> 00:24:25.887
In other words, what the first adam did was so powerful
00:24:25.954 --> 00:24:27.122
What the first adam did was so powerful that we cannot undo it
00:24:27.188 --> 00:24:28.290
Was so powerful that we cannot undo it by our good works.
00:24:28.356 --> 00:24:29.691
That we cannot undo it by our good works. no matter what good you do,
00:24:29.758 --> 00:24:30.725
By our good works. no matter what good you do, you are still a sinner.
00:24:30.792 --> 00:24:32.561
No matter what good you do, you are still a sinner. you need to be born again.
00:24:32.627 --> 00:24:34.229
You are still a sinner. you need to be born again. but now that we are saved
00:24:34.296 --> 00:24:35.463
You need to be born again. but now that we are saved and we are made righteous
00:24:35.530 --> 00:24:36.731
But now that we are saved and we are made righteous by that one man's obedience,
00:24:36.798 --> 00:24:38.533
And we are made righteous by that one man's obedience, how come sometimes,
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:40.235
By that one man's obedience, how come sometimes, when we sin or we fall,
00:24:40.302 --> 00:24:42.904
How come sometimes, when we sin or we fall, they tell us
00:24:42.971 --> 00:24:44.372
When we sin or we fall, they tell us now you are unrighteous,
00:24:44.439 --> 00:24:45.473
They tell us now you are unrighteous, you need to get right.
00:24:45.540 --> 00:24:47.108
Now you are unrighteous, you need to get right. in other words,
00:24:47.175 --> 00:24:48.209
You need to get right. in other words, i can undo what jesus did,
00:24:48.276 --> 00:24:50.378
In other words, i can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act.
00:24:50.445 --> 00:24:52.480
I can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner
00:24:52.547 --> 00:24:53.848
Just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo
00:24:53.915 --> 00:24:55.016
Whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo what adam did,
00:24:55.083 --> 00:24:56.284
I can't even undo what adam did, and we're not even talking
00:24:56.351 --> 00:24:57.452
What adam did, and we're not even talking about the "much more"
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.687
And we're not even talking about the "much more" of the book of romans,
00:24:58.753 --> 00:24:59.921
About the "much more" of the book of romans, the "much more"
00:24:59.988 --> 00:25:01.222
Of the book of romans, the "much more" of what jesus has done.
00:25:01.289 --> 00:25:02.424
The "much more" of what jesus has done. we are putting them both
00:25:02.490 --> 00:25:03.558
Of what jesus has done. we are putting them both on the same ground
00:25:03.625 --> 00:25:04.726
We are putting them both on the same ground and we don't even have
00:25:04.793 --> 00:25:05.827
On the same ground and we don't even have enough respect
00:25:05.894 --> 00:25:07.028
And we don't even have enough respect and appreciation
00:25:07.095 --> 00:25:08.430
Enough respect and appreciation for what jesus has done.
00:25:08.496 --> 00:25:11.900
And appreciation for what jesus has done. believing right
00:25:11.967 --> 00:25:13.635
For what jesus has done. believing right will always produce right
00:25:13.702 --> 00:25:15.370
Believing right will always produce right because the essence
00:25:15.437 --> 00:25:16.638
Will always produce right because the essence of the gospel is
00:25:16.705 --> 00:25:18.006
Because the essence of the gospel is the just shall live by faith,
00:25:18.073 --> 00:25:19.240
Of the gospel is the just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this,
00:25:19.307 --> 00:25:20.442
The just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this, the just shall live
00:25:20.508 --> 00:25:21.643
Or i can say it like this, the just shall live by right believing.
00:25:21.710 --> 00:25:23.411
The just shall live by right believing. so that's a lot of preaching
00:25:23.478 --> 00:25:24.946
By right believing. so that's a lot of preaching on right living --
00:25:25.013 --> 00:25:26.147
So that's a lot of preaching on right living -- right living.
00:25:26.214 --> 00:25:27.315
On right living -- right living. and we all want right living
00:25:27.382 --> 00:25:28.483
Right living. and we all want right living but how to get there
00:25:28.550 --> 00:25:29.651
And we all want right living but how to get there from here?
00:25:29.718 --> 00:25:30.819
But how to get there from here? right believing?
00:25:30.885 --> 00:25:31.987
From here? right believing? we need to get
00:25:32.053 --> 00:25:33.154
Right believing? we need to get right believing in our hearts
00:25:33.221 --> 00:25:34.322
We need to get right believing in our hearts and our thoughts,
00:25:34.389 --> 00:25:35.490
Right believing in our hearts and our thoughts, and one of the best ways
00:25:35.557 --> 00:25:36.825
