Thank you for the fellowship we even had after service on today. And now, Lord, we're here again and we're just in expectation. We're looking for something from you, God. We want you to do something else for us. Father, we're asking you tonight to do something unusual in our midst. Do something man cannot do. Charge this atmosphere. Saturate the walls of this place. Let your Shekinah glory be revealed. Father, I pray that your power would come in this room and that it would minister to every person here tonight. Father, we thank you that you are Jehovah Jireh. You're the God our provider. So God, therefore, we don't lack a thing. Neither do we have a care because you provide for us, God. So we lean on you. Your word tells us, God, to lean not to our own understanding, but in all our ways to acknowledge you, and you would direct our path. So God, we thank you that not only are you our provider, but you're our navigator, God. You show us the way. And so God, we yield tonight to your plans, your desires, whatever you want, God. We give it to you. So Father, we lend this service into your hands. God, we pray for our worship leaders, we pray for our musicians. We decree and declare that your anointing will rest heavy upon them, God, as they usher us into your presence. Father, we give you glory in advance for what we're getting ready to experience. Thank you, God, that this will not just be another religious experience Your word says where two or three were just gathered in your name, that you would be in the midst of us. So God, we're touching and agreeing, we're gathered in your name, so we're depending on you to be here, God. We don't want to have church without you. We never want to be where you was, we always want to be where you are. So Father, tonight be here with us, your children, and bless us, God.

Send the anointing that makes preaching easy. Do something unusual in this building. Something man cannot do. Do something unusual for those that are watching us. Let the anointing penetrate the very atmosphere, into the home, into the car of those that are watching us tonight. Father, we thank you in advance. Your credit is good with me, so I thank you in advance for what you're getting ready to to come in this room like a bully, throw your weight around, let us know that you're the boss, that you're still in control. Kick some dust in the devil's face and let him know you still rule and reign in the affairs of men. And we'll give you glory, God. Thank you for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Spirit tonight. We bless you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And thank God. Would you clap your hands and tell the Lord you love him? Come on, those of you watching, just clap your hands and tell God you love him. We love you, Father, and we bless your name. Hallelujah! Oh, praise God! I promise you I'm not going to be long tonight. I, I really want to continue. Hallelujah! And what we began talking about this morning, we start talking about apostolic industry, and I didn't get an opportunity to finish. So just, uh, just by way of review First thing we, we understood this morning was what it meant to really be apostolic. And so we talked about apostolic means that, that pertains to the work of apostles. Then we talked about how apostles initiate things, and apostolic people initiate things that other people cannot produce. We discovered that God is doing something major in our lives. Somebody say major. Hallelujah. I'm not— no more minor stuff. He's doing that which is major. And we discovered that we must work the works of him that sent us while it's what? Day. For the night cometh when no man can work. So I did get to get into this, this morning. So I want to really give you a working definition of industry. Can I do that? And then we're gonna look at some scriptures. Industry is diligence. It's a department, a branch, a craft, an art, a business, a manufacturer. Watch this: one that employs large personnel and manages big capital. All right, somebody say major. So, so God doesn't want us employed, he wants us deployed. We should be hiring others. Are y'all hearing this? If we're the people of God, we should be in charge. We shouldn't be working for others. We should be employing large capital. And so what God is doing, he's shifting us now where we can find our place in society, where the world can look to the church for instruction and direction. See, you really haven't done anything until we manufactured something. It's one thing to start a business— watch this— and make it changes in the marketplace. See, in order to control money, you got to control two things. You got to control, number one, the mill. The mill is where products are created. The marketplace is where they are sold. So we've become astute in some sense to the marketplace. But God wants us to tap into our innovation and become industrious and create some things. Touch your belly and say, I got something in me. Look, I'm gonna be real quick tonight, so y'all might as well go with me. So I got something in me. Glory to the name of God that God wants me to give birth to. Matter of fact, say I'm pregnant and God's the daddy. Good God Almighty, that's good stuff. So I'm pregnant with a dream, I'm pregnant with a vision, I'm pregnant with an idea. Glory to the name of God. And some of us are long overdue, and we've been— I dare somebody watching me live, type it on the screen: I'm pregnant and God is the daddy. Good God Almighty. So we understand then, glory to the name of God, that God is raising up in his church an enterprise of people who can create economic systems. I'm talking about banking systems where we don't have to depend on worldly banks for what we need. Y'all are helping me here. The church ought to have its own banking system where we can finance cars and houses. We should have our own backing where we can create credit lines and credit cards but those that are in the kingdom. But the problem have been we have not embraced the industrious spirit. I'm gonna show you that this is biblical. Go to 1 Kings 11:28. This is a good case in point, a good example. 1 Kings 11:28 says this, and I'm telling you, I'm going real quick tonight. And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Let me tell you what valor means. Valor means honor and wealth. So Jeroboam, who was a prophet, the Bible said he was a mighty man of honor and wealth. So it's okay for me to be prophetic and have honor in society. And also walk in a wealthy place. I did just say it. Say it's okay. See, the church has been scared to talk about two things. We don't want to discuss sex, and we don't want to talk about money. But if we don't start talking about money, we will never have any. We got to talk about how to ascertain it. We got to talk about how to be dominant in it. So Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Watch this. And Solomon seen the young man that he was industrious. He was industrious. He had a working spirit. He was an innovator. He was a creator. He knew how to manage people. He knew how to gather people into his cause. Watch this. The Bible said he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. Now in this text, the word industrious comes from a Hebrew word, asa. And asa, watch this, means to execute, to advance, to accomplish. I talked about this this morning, to finish. See, we got to deal with the spirit of incompletion in the church. We start things and don't finish. Well, I've seen people start businesses and don't finish. It gets hard, they quit. People start a ministry, start a church, and they stop. But we got to learn how to be diligent and industrious and finish what we start. I got to get through this, y'all. Also, it relates to a word— watch this, I love this word— malakah. Malakah means ambassador. So when you start talking about industrious, it means too that you don't carry the spirit alone. You are an ambassador sent from heaven to represent God in the earth, to bring forth his plan. So we're here to execute the plan of God, and at the end of the day, you got to be a finisher. Just touch somebody and say, I'm gonna finish it. Touch yourself. I say, I'm gonna finish it. So we got a lot of people that can't complete stuff, but God wants to do something major. But we got to go through the process. We got to endure hardness. We gotta bring forth major and profitable works. Now watch this, go to Matthew 6, and I'm about to be through. Go to Matthew 6. Praise God. I'm just giving you this just like the Holy Spirit gave it Matthew 6. Matthew is a very apostolic book. Matthew 6, I'm gonna start at 24, and I'm just gonna rock through this. I'm gonna drop this like it's hot. All right, watch this. Matthew 6:24 says, first of all, no man can serve two masters. We talked this morning that God has called us to be wise master builders. Master builder again is architecton in Greek. We are architects. We should be building things. We should be constructing things. And the Bible says you can't serve two ideas. Either you're gonna build with secular systems or you're gonna build with the design of God. I'm telling you tonight, I'm choosing to build with the design of God. There's a problem in the body of Christ of mastership. People want to be in the church and then they want to do things their own way. But I want to tell you tonight, if we want to receive the blessing of God, yeah, we got to do it God's way. No man can serve two masters. Watch this: for either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. So we don't do what we do— watch this— for the money. We build for people so that they can see the glory on what we doing and they be transformed. And when we do it for that purpose, money becomes a byproduct. Yes. Watch this. He said here, first of all, there's a problem of mastership. But two, he says you're gonna hate one, love the other. That's a problem of priority. Yes, it is. And you got a whole lot of people in the church whose priorities are jacked up. We got to get our priorities straight. They want to be popular. They want to be the best, next best thing. Everybody's worried about who's hot and who's not, who's got a big church, who's got a little church. And nobody has any power. Everybody's moving in their flesh. Their priorities are out of line. God said we got to get our priorities straight because you can't serve what you want to do. And God— watch that word serve. Watch it. It's the Greek word doulos, which means you can't be a bond slave to God and mammon. So when I'm serving, that means I become a slave to what God wants. I didn't say the church, I didn't say the pastor, I didn't say man. I said God. The only person that should be pulling your string is God. He's our puppet master. Glory to God. And if you let him pull your strings and tell you which way to go, he'll pull strings for I got to get out of here. The Bible says, therefore I say unto you, watch this, take no thought for your life. Here's another problem. This is why we can't be industrious, because we got a problem with anxiety. Take no thought means we're worried. We're worried about what tomorrow is going to bring, how we're going to pay this. How are we going to pay that? How are we going to make it through this? And how are we going to make it out of that? We're worried about COVID-19, worried about who the president is or is not. But God says, take no thought for your life, because when you are in his service, all right, I need you to understand he's got you. I, I need y'all to understand he's got you. So if you're really a child of God, there's no need to worry about nothing. I dare you, shout, I'm not worried about a thing! Come on, confess that. I ain't worried about a thing because God's got me. He said, take no thought for your life, what you gonna eat, what you're gonna drink, yet for your body what you're gonna put on. He said, it's not life more than meat. Meat and the body more than raiment. Listen, let me tell you something. He says, I got you covered. You ain't got to worry about what you're gonna eat, where you gonna sleep, what you're gonna put on. Watch what he says. He said, behold, look at the birds. Well, they sow not, neither do they reap. In other words, the birds eat every day. They make no sacrifices. They, they do no worship. But God says, I take care of them. He said, you don't reap, they don't gather in barns, yet your Father feeds them. So why are we worried about what he gonna do for us if he's protecting birds? Yeah, we're his choice creation. We're made in the image and likeness of him, and so we shouldn't be worried— Lord, I got to go— what he's going to do for us. He said, are you not better than they? Aren't you better than the bird? We're better than the bird. Hallelujah! We're, we're here to serve his purpose. Birds don't have no purpose. So if God takes care of the birds in the sky, God, he's going to take care of you and I. Let me move, let me move. He said, which of you— watch this— by worry Worry can add one cubit to your stature. When has worrying ever helped you? It doesn't. Worry is dis-ease. Some folk worry so much about catching COVID they gonna get it. They gonna worry themselves right into it. Y'all not talking to me here. I'm not concerned about coronavirus because I know God can heal Even if I got it, I know he can heal me. Matter of fact, I had it and had no symptoms. Tested positive. Y'all not talking to me yet, but God covered me and kept me. Yeah, but you got people out here— now look, it's some people that don't even go to church, don't have no faith in God. These folks going to clubs, they're partying, they're gathering, they don't care about it. But those of us that are the children of God. We won't even come to the house of God. Some of y'all watching me right now won't even come to church. Watch me every Sunday in your pajamas because you're afraid of COVID Oh God, why are we worried? You can't add nothing to yourself. We gotta trust the Lord. Verse 20, watch this. Verse— he said, why take ye thought for rain? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither the spirit. And yet I say unto you, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like— in other words, I take care of lilies and flowers and plants. Yes. What more he's gonna do for you? Verse 30: Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? So here's the problem. The problem is faith, Harry. Faith is pistos in Greek. It is absolute confidence, total dependence on what you cannot see. That's it. God says, I need you to be absolutely confident, totally relying upon what you can't even see. Faith is to leave what you can see, but what you cannot see. Oh my God, it means to walk away from what you can tangibly have, but what you cannot hold in your hand. Let me give you an example. I remember there was a lady years ago in Pittsburgh at Archie Dennis Church. Archie Dennis was a worship leader for Benny Hinn. He, he had a great church in Pittsburgh, still has a church. Now watch this. This lady got up, testified, and when she got through, I said, you know what, that's faith. She said, I praise the Lord for Jesus, thank God I'm saved. She said, I need to tell y'all that my old boyfriend from college— watch this— He came back in town and he called me on the phone. He said, I got good news for you. This is her testimony. She said— he said, I just signed a $10 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now mind you, this dude was 6'3", 225 pounds. A proportioned protoplasm that she could hold in the midnight hour. Are y'all hearing me? Glory to God. Plus, he had 10 minutes. He said, I came back in town, I'm living in Pittsburgh now, and I want you back. And she said, well, I got one question for 'Cause it never was your money, right? It was the fact that you wouldn't serve Jesus. She told him, I've always loved you, and I got one question: have you decided to follow Jesus? The man said, I ain't said nothing about Jesus. I said I wanted you, and he said, to prove that I want you— y'all not here— I know you always wanted a Mercedes-Benz. Back then it wasn't a 550, it was just 500. So he said, I bought you a 500 SEL, candy apple red, brand new, in your name, to prove to you that I want you. He told her, I opened the bank account with your name on it and I deposited $1 million and I closed on a condominium that overlooks Three Rivers Stadium where the Pittsburgh Pirates play. All you got to do is move in. And I went to the store and I bought you that $10,000 sable mink coat. Oh, glory to God! She should have been trying to figure out how to get him saved. That should have been her plan. Glory to God! But that's how— this is our testimony that night. Glory to God! Let me tell you something. He said, listen, I want you, and I've given you all the things. She said, listen, if you can't follow God I cannot yoke up with you. So she walked away from what she could see, but what she could not see. She walked away from a car that she could drive, another poor God she ain't never seen. She walked away from a coat that she could wear for a heaven she ain't never walked on. Y'all, she walked away from 6-foot 5'3", 225 pounds. Y'all are talking a proportion protoplasm for an anointing from God that she ain't never physically experienced or seen. And I said, that's faith. And I'm telling you tonight, most of you in this room, you got that. You walked away from friends, you walked away from things, you walked away from— oh my God, stuff what you love to do for a God you ain't never seen. I wish I had somebody to shout, I got faith!
I got to go.
Listen, so it— that same kind of faith where you leave what you can see for what you cannot see should spill over into every area of your life. Yes, you should trust him every day, mm-hmm, with everything. Yes, and be totally reliant on him. Yes, the Bible declares, he said, therefore take no thought saying, what will I eat, what will I drink, wherewithal shall I be clothed. Verse 32 says, for all these things do the Gentiles seek. The Gentiles are people that don't even know God. They look for comfort in things. We find our comfort and our peace in our service to God. He said your Heavenly Father know you need this stuff. Yes, he know before you even ask. So why we worried?
Yes, hallelujah.
We got to become industrial enough to be a generation that seeks God for what we need. Yes, hallelujah. Watch what verse 33 says.
This is where I want to get.
He says, but seek. The word seek in the text— and I'm closing— the word seek in the text is the Greek word zito. Here's what I know: a lot of people want to look blessed, but they really don't want to be blessed. I'll say it again: they get— they want to look like they're blessed, talk like they're blessed, but they really don't want to be blessed. Because being blessed requires a deliberate effort to make an exchange between heaven and earth and allowing God to superimpose himself upon us. The key is I gotta seek him. He said, but seek— that's a powerful word. The word is seek. Keto, and it means to pursue hard after with uninterrupted focus, like a bulldog. If a bulldog gets his mouth on something, he's going to hold on to it until he gets everything out of it he wants. This is how we have to go after God. We can't go after God. That's why I can appreciate how we worship, because we got to go after him until he shows up. Yes, hallelujah! We're not here just because we ain't got nothing else to do. We want God. Yes, the Bible said, but seek him when? First. He ought to be in top priority. The word first there is paraiso in Greek. It means to put him in superlative priority, to make him the first option in all things. How many times have we gone our own way and did it our way and not made him the first choice? We all have done it. Yes. And every time we do it, we mess up. Yes. Every time we do it, we find ourselves in compromising positions. But God says, I need you to become— watch this— a pro. Yeah, and seeking me first. But see, I know it's tempting to do it your way because we're so used to doing it. Yeah, but he says, but seek ye first. What am I seeking first? He says, the kingdom of God. Oh, not not religion, not church. This is just where we come to get trained to do kingdom. He wants us to seek the kingdom. Kingdom, the Greek word is basileia. It means God's rule, God's authority, the king's dominion. Seek the king's way of doing stuff. Because guess what? His way is always better than ours. Notice it said, but seek. Yeah, but seek. God's but is always bigger than yours. Are you hearing me? He says seek first the kingdom, his way of doing it. Watch this, not just the basilia, the authority of God, Watch this, the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Righteousness is diasune in Greek. Diasune is a Greek word that means— watch this, this, this is good— that means the only way of being right. In other words, anything else outside of God's right is wrong. Oh. People don't like that because they want to go by the book. Yeah, but anything outside of God— so if you— we gonna get the blessing, we want what's right. And when we don't know, God showed me what's right. Seek him until he shows us what's right. Get in the book, study till you see what's right, because we don't want to miss his righteousness. Not man's, but what he looks and says, this is my vantage point, this is what I view as being right. You know what God does? Because we're human, the way he gets us right, Tonya, sometimes we got to get left to get right. I'm gonna say that again. Sometimes we got to get left to get right. Sometimes people have to walk away from us. Sometimes we have to be in an isolated place where we feel like God ain't even hearing us to get us to line up and do what's right. And sometimes— this is what I love about God— sometimes God will set you on the left. This is my left right here. He'll sit you on the left side. He has reason for that. He sets you on the left. First of all, the Bible says that Peter, he, he— oh my God— after you have suffered a while, he will establish you. Chelsea was saying, the more he takes from me, the more I love him. That's a mature place because God strategically takes all of us through seasons where he puts us in a left experience where he says, I'm gonna set you here and let you suffer a while and let you go through something so you can be established, perfect. The word perfect, teleios in Greek, complete, mature, the ability to finish. So he'll set you on the left, first of all, to season you. Oh my God, somebody say season. There's a difference in being seasoned and not being seasoned. Listen, you ever ate some food that wasn't adequately seasoned? That's the worst experience in the world. Harris said that broccoli last night. Glory to God. I mean, they took it straight out the garden, brought it to the table. They put nothing on it, straight out the dirt, didn't know the taste. Glory to God. But yeah, but so there's a difference when it's seasoned. So God will put us on the left. So that we're seasoned, so that when he presents us to the world— oh my God— we're appetizing to them. They want to hear us, they want to trust our testimony because we've been seasoned. So he'll put you on the level to season you. So you're ready to move forth in excellence. I tell you, shout, season me, Lord. See, I need you to understand that there are some people that need what you got. And the reason you've been on the left— I got to go. Listen, the reason you've been on the left, because God says, I'm getting ready to touch Somebody, somebody watching me, you don't understand why you've been going through what you've been going through, but God said, I put you on the left because I'm trying to get you right. I wish I had some help here. He's trying to season you so you can make a difference. Somebody's been watching you and they said, if they survive I'll serve God if they come out. I'll live for Jesus. I'm telling you right now, don't curse your crisis. Don't curse your left experience. God has you there because he has a purpose. He sets you on the left so he can season you. But not only that, You've been on the lamb so he can settle you. God says, I need to settle you down. You've been wilding out too much. I need to mature you. You need to grow up and become grown in God so you can settle down and fulfill my purpose and fulfill my assignment. What I feel like preaching. Good God from Zion. God says, I want to settle you. I want to season you. But I got to go, Harry, and I want you to soar. I want you to go to the next level. I want you to fly above your problems. Fly above your past. Fly above your pain. God said don't curse the left, I'm trying to get you right. Say, ah, yeah, listen, I tell you to high five somebody in here and tell them I'm I'm coming out, and I'm coming out better. I'm telling you, it's your time to come forth and be industrious, to move in power, to move in the anointing, to move with joy. If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I'll hear from heaven, I'll heal the land. Can I tell you something? God's going to use you, he's going to use me to heal our land. Shout glory! shall be added unto you. You ain't even got to ask for him. He said if you stay on that left side until you get right, you ain't never even got to ask for things. I'll just add them. I'll slip you a million dollars. I'll slip you a Benz. I'll slip you a Bentley. I'll slip you a house. I'll just add it to your rightness. So why wouldn't we get right? I said, I'm gonna make it easy for you. I just want you to get right and do what I said. Y'all stand up. Hallelujah! I can see it, I can feel it, I can hear it. I can see it, feel it, hear it again. I can see it, I can feel it, I can hear it again. I can see it, feel it, hear it again. It's major. I can see the major stuff happening being added to us. Can you— that ought to be your testimony. I can see it, hear it, feel it again. I can feel it again. I can see it, I can hear it, I can feel it again.

Things you've been fighting, you're going to win big this week. Something major is Amazing. So you stand up, let me pray for you real quick. I'm glad you're here. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this: your hands are blessed. And God said, those hands in the past, the things that those hands have touched washed and done. God says his grace— he's cleansed you, he's washed you, and now your hands are going to be used for supernatural blessings. God said your entrepreneurial spirit is from him, and he's going to cause abundance of wealth to come into your life. He told me to tell you that your businesses are getting ready ready to prosper. God said everywhere you put those hands, he's gonna prosper it. Because God said now you can handle it. You've had the dreams all your life, but God, God's gonna show you something that's gonna blow your natural mind. You were born— hear me— to be a millionaire. And God says as you serve him. He said, because you can't do it on your own, but put your life in his hands. And he said, there will be nothing you ask him for that he won't do. He said, because you've been through the hard spaces, God said, this is going to be a season of sweatless victory. You're going to win big time. God bless your daughter. From the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. Let my hands be at your hands, God. Let us see your glory. Let us see what you're doing, what you plan. I stir up the gift, the design that's in her life. Give her the desires of her heart. I ask you for it, Lord. I thank you for the major blessing, the major breakthrough. She didn't break when you had her on the left. Now, God, I'm asking you to let her soar. Bless her family. Let her be a light to every person around her, and let them see your glory on her. They will follow you because of what you do for her, because they're not going to believe how big you're about to do it. I thank you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. Somebody praise God. Come on, praise God for the victory. I can see it, I can hear it, I can feel it again. I can see it, I can hear it, I can feel it again. I can see it, I can hear it, I can feel it again. I can see it, I can hear it, I can feel it again. Something greater is happening right now. Something major, something major is happening right now. I'm certainly grateful for every person that joined us tonight live, every saint in the building praying, someone listening to the podcast, someone watching this live or by replay. Maybe you're not saved, you don't know Jesus, you've never repented of your sin. You know you got sin in your life, and God says tonight he wants you to get it right. Listen, the Bible says confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died and rose again. It's that simple. He said you will be saved. Would you pray with me tonight? Saints, I want you praying with those watching. Somebody's watching that's not born again. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I repent of my sin. So I open my heart and I invite you in. Say, I believe you died for me and you rose again. Say, I give my life to you. I want to be right in your sight, in Jesus' name. Say, I declare today I am saved, in Jesus' name. Listen, if you said that prayer, I want you to text RAW.TV to 31996. You're going to get a link back and we're going to send you all the materials you need. Glory to God! To start your walk with God, it's a beautiful thing. You know, before I take it back, I'll add more to it. God has been good to me. Listen, we're going to get ready to go, but before we do, we're going to give. The Bible says it's more blessed to give than it is to receive. While we were at dinner tonight, Brother Kirby, who's not here he planted a seed of $100. I'm gonna sow that seed as well. I'm gonna ask those of you watching to plant your best seed tonight. You may not have $100, but give God your very best. I need every person in the building to give God your very best tonight. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for the givers tonight. I pray that as they give, some will tithe and and give their 10%. You said when we do that, you would open the windows of heaven and pour us out blessing. We don't have room to receive. So bless those that are in covenant with you in the name of Jesus and will do your will, Father. And those that will give tonight, multiply that seed 1,000 times more in Jesus' name. Amen. Listen, there are two ways you can give at our church. Well, if you're in the building, there are three. You can give cash or check if you need to, but you can give via Cash App. The church's Cash App is Rad Church. Rad Church. R-A-D— you see it behind me, that's the Cash App. Rad Church. If you want to give online, go to our website. It's radchurch.com/give. /donate. Just that simple. Rotherchurch/donate and sow your offering, and we'll be forever grateful. Those seeds go right into the church's bank account, and we use it for building up the kingdom of God. Glory to God! Thank you for your giving. Thank you for watching us tonight. Everybody stand, we're going. Hallelujah! I hope y'all were blessed tonight. I'm sorry I got I didn't get to teach like I wanted to. Put it in the bucket. Thank you, darling. Hallelujah. Lift those hands unto the Lord. Say this with me. Say, what I say unto one, I say unto all. Say, watch as well as pray. Say, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer. In Jesus' name, amen. Hug somebody and tell them, major! Can't explain it, but I know that it is
