That you looked at and say, I can make this better. Uh-huh. God showed you something that bothered you or rubbed you the wrong way and said, I can make that better. But we don't want to go the distance now, coming, researching it, making sure no one else have the same idea you have, getting it patented, getting out and, and, and, and, and do what we need to do to invent the product. Yeah. You probably have some brilliant ideas right in this room. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant ideas. I know I had an idea one time because— but I saw someone else had it. Sometimes you know how you have your heels on and you forget to bring your flats with you? You might be out somewhere, right? and you forget to bring your flats. But I had thought about it, it would be so easy if you could just twist that heel off and your shoe would come flat. Right. I thought of that, but guess what? Somebody already had the idea. Yeah, it's already— I don't know if it's in stores, but it's already— someone had the idea. And I thought of that, I said, boy, because sometimes I be with them heels on, I be like, man, I forgot my shoes. And I'm not the type of person to take my shoes off. I just have— my feet just have to hurt. I'm sorry, they just have to hurt. I just feel like they're just so ghetto and just so walking barefooted, you know. I just have to walk like this till I get to my car. That's just me. Amen. Amen. Bring out of yourself. Say it. Say it. It's in you. It's there. You just gotta bring it out. And if you can't bring it out, you need to get with somebody that can pull that out of you. Yes, yes, yes, yes. That can, can see in you and know it's there and help you to bring that out of you. But you cannot walk in fear. You cannot be afraid to go after what God said you can have. Amen. Amen. You got to be fruitful. You have to be fruitful. It ain't just about having kids. Come on now. Thank God for children, but that's— don't limit that just for children. Amen. Hallelujah. Multiply. Our God is a multiplication God. Yes, he is. He just don't add, he multiplies. That's right. He multiplies. He want us as, as children, as his children, to multiply in the earth. Multiply means to duplicate, mass produce, and do it again. Amen. Duplicate, mass produce, and do it again. Duplicate yourself. Who are you duplicating in the earth? Who are you pouring yourself into in the earth? 'Cause we're supposed to be making disciples. Amen? Amen. So if we making disciples, it's, it's someone in the earth that is assigned to you. Everybody have people that is assigned to. Because you ain't gonna be able to reach everyone. So you have people that's been assigned to you. You have people that have been assigned to you. People have been assigned to me because all of us, all of us have walked a different lifestyle that can reach different people. So the people that you might can reach, I might can't. That's right, that's right. Because of what you've been through. So who are you duplicating in the earth? Yes, yes. Hallelujah. We should be able to look at you and see me. Not you trying to be like me, because there's only one original. Anything else is phony. That's right. But you should be able to see you in that person. Pastor Sharp should be able to look at the men and see him in that person. I should be able to look at the ladies in here and be able to see me in that person. Yes. I should. Hallelujah. So who are you duplicating? Who have God sent to you to mentor in the earth, to help in the earth? We said we talking about kingdom now. Hallelujah. Mass produce. Do it again. Whatever it is, whatever you have done, you can do it again. That's right. Don't limit yourself and feel like you have failed at certain things that you can't do it again. If you bought a car one time, you can do it again. Amen. If you bought a house one time, you can do it again. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Do it again. Don't stop and settle for less. Who told you you can't do that? Say it. When Adam was in the garden in Genesis 3 and he realized that he was naked, Yeah. God say, who told you? All right now, yes he did. Who told you you was naked? That's right. Hallelujah. Who told you you was naked? That's right. See, back then, it was no such thing as how it is today. low self-esteem and high self-esteem. Not in the kingdom. That's right. Because in Genesis 3, Adam looked at his self, self-consciousness. See, that's when Adam fell. See, when in Genesis 1 and 2, Adam was— right. Adam was naked all the time. Yes, ma'am. He was naked all the time. So now in Genesis 3, he looked at himself. That's where we get that low self-esteem, high self-esteem. Because when someone say, oh, she got low self-esteem, it's because we looking at ourselves. We looking at that we can't do this. I'm not smart enough. I don't have the education. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. No. I was born in the projects. And we look at ourselves that we can't do certain things. And that's where that came from, that low self-esteem. Because it depends— it matters how you look at yourself. Yes. See, Adam looked at himself and said— that's why he was gathering the leaves and saw himself naked. Hallelujah. You have to do it again. Whatever it is, do it again. Don't settle for anything less. See, this is where our mindset gotta change. It got to be on the kingdom. It got to be on the kingdom. If we don't— if we do not— if we do not renew our mind and get our mind on kingdom principles, we going to get stuck. Amen. We going to be stuck. So whatever it is, whatever you think you lost, You can do it again because God is the God of multiplication, not subtraction. Multiplication. Amen. Amen. Subdue. Subdue. No, I'm sorry, now I skipped one. Replenish. Number 3, replenish. Replenish. Do not write a book and keep it to yourself. Amen. Do not invent something or come up with a product that you keep for yourself. He say replenish. It is no good of you coming up with something and no one is going to benefit from it. Amen. That's not our kind of God. Hallelujah. Replenish the earth. Help somebody else. If you got up, help somebody else to get up. Amen. That's so true. Don't keep it all to yourself. Don't keep it all to yourself. I remember the old, the old saying said the, uh, If— it was a term that brothers used to say, if— what is it? If you— oh God, I'm trying to think of how it went, but it's no fun unless my homie have some. That's the deal. Yeah. So if you have this invention or you have this idea or you have written a book, Or a CD or anything like that and you keep it to yourself. What fun is it? None. You can't enjoy it unless you got somebody to enjoy it with you. Yeah, that's right. You can't enjoy it. What's the use of having a bunch of money and you have no one to enjoy it with? No one to travel with, no one to adventure with, no one to go buy things with. What's the use of having all that money and be miserable? You don't have no one to share it with. Amen. Amen. So we need to replenish. Number 4 is subdue. Subdue. Hallelujah. Subdue. Subdue your world. Your world. Your world. One thing that I learned by studying it, that all of us have our own world. Mm-hmm. Everybody live in a world. Our world might be different from somebody else's world. We live in worlds on the earth. We live in worlds on earth. If you look at Hebrews, Hebrews the 11th chapter, verse 3, it say, through faith we understand that worlds were framed by the word of God. That's right. Worlds. That's with an S. Worlds. So the world that I live in is gonna be different from the world you live in. That's right. Our Christianity world, as Christians, we have our world. And then you have the, um, the LGBT community. They have their world. I don't live in their world because I'm not gay, I'm not bi, I'm not trans, I'm not a queen. Uh, what's the other one? I'm not a lesbian. So I don't live in they world. You see what I'm saying? So I won't even cross over or be in that world because I'm not in that world. That's right. So you have, you have Another world of Muslims. Uh-huh. They have their world. Buddha have their world. If you, if you a person that dress up in different characters and go out in, in, in, in the woods, and I forgot what they call them, but they dress up in different characters and act out different characters in the woods. That's their world. So you have different worlds that's here on earth. Whatever world that you are in, God says subdue it. Yes. Amen. Yeah. Subdue it. Subdue it. Tell your neighbor, say, subdue it. Subdue it. Subdue means take over. On purpose. On purpose. Amen. Take over on purpose. Overcome on purpose. Hallelujah. Bring under your control on purpose. Don't let anyone— if you the captain of that ship, you don't let no one overthrow you. Amen. Amen. My God. You subdue it. Amen. Don't allow the enemy to come in your house and he reigns. Yeah, yeah, that's right. You take over on purpose. Amen. Hallelujah. You subdue on purpose. Amen. You gotta subdue it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Number 5, dominion. God say, have dominion. Have dominion. Have dominion in your life. Have dominion. Dominion mean take control, have power over it, and bring it under your rule. Amen. Stop allowing your life situation to be chaos. I don't know what I'mma do. I don't know what I'mma do. And just freaking out, panicking, just falling all apart. Snap out of it and have dominion. Amen. Amen. Okay, cry for 2 minutes and come out of it. That's right. 'Cause now I got to take control of my situation. I can't let my situation take control of me. Amen. If your children in the house, Going crazy, disrespectful, want to rule. You take dominion. Not in my house. Because you are the parent. They are the child, the children. And if you lose control. They gonna rule. That's right. They gonna rule. And you can't, you can't wait till they this big to start. It starts when they 5 and 6 and 7 years old. That's right. 'Cause the Bible say how you train up a child. Amen? So you gotta take control. Yes. You gotta take control over your life. Stop being a basket case. Amen. Like you don't know what to do. Yes. You don't know if you coming or going. The devil is a liar. Yes. Hallelujah. And take power over it. Take power over it. You have to take power over the situation. Amen. If it's your finances, you gotta take power over it. If it's your health, you gotta take power over it. You gotta talk to— you gotta open up your mouth, put pressure on your mouth. And speak the word of God. Amen. See, we don't put enough pressure on the word. We have to put enough pressure on the word of God. Amen. So when we put enough pressure on the word of God, we're going to see things move and change in our life. So we have to make sure that we're speaking the word of God. At all times, because that's the only thing that's going to change is the Word. Amen. That's the only thing that's going to change. And bring it under your rule. You got to bring it under your rule. Amen. Amen. Now that was the 5 things in the kingdom. Now we're going to move over to the religion. Hallelujah. And it's 5 things when Adam fell, it's 5 things that was released in the earth when Adam fell. Hallelujah. And it still goes on today. Number 1 is poverty. Yes. Amen. Come on now. Oh God. Number two is division. Three is ignorance. Four is sickness. And five is oppression. That's five. Duplicate the kingdom 5. This is religion. See, religion came into play when Adam fell, and I'll show you in scripture. Because when Adam fell, Adam was up under kingdom principles. Before Adam fell, he was up under kingdom principles. Adam didn't have to work for nothing. That's right. He didn't have to take care of himself. He didn't have to do anything. All he had to do is what God told— what God had given him to do. For as be fruitful, multiply, subdue, replenish, and have dominion. Adam was doing that in the garden because he had the same thing what God had. God told Adam, name the animals. He said, whatever you call them, that's what they'll be. See, we have the same Power, ability. He told Adam, whatever you call it, that's what it will be. What are you calling today in your life? Come on, God. That's right. What are you saying today in your life? Are you speaking negative? 'Cause it doesn't matter if it's negative or positive, you're still operating in faith. That's right. If you say this ain't gonna work, it ain't gonna work. You had enough faith to believe that it's not gonna work. You had enough faith to believe that it's not gonna work. It's not gonna happen. So why not believe the Word of God Amen. Number 1 was poverty. Poverty comes from being, from being afraid and frightened for tomorrow. That's where poverty come from. We are afraid of tomorrow. Some of us is just one step away from real poverty. Mm-hmm. And it comes from being afraid that I can't take care of my family. I can't take care of my children. And poverty comes in. My, my, my. Number 2, division. Intentionally separated, isolated. Division is in the church. Poverty is in the church. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And we should not be in that. We should not be living— not a child of God living in poverty. Amen. 'Cause we have— when Adam have fallen, isolated. We isolate ourselves. We don't help one another. We isolate from one another. We have established cliques. Yes, I do. I'll be over here with this group, and this group be over here, and that group be over there. So we don't come together. And this church over here, and this church over there, and at churches we don't come together and work together for the same cause. Amen. 'Cause we so divided. And that is religion. God hates religion, but the enemy loves religion. That's right. Amen. Because the enemy knows he want to keep us in poverty. Because if we, if we stay in poverty, we cannot fund the kingdom. That's right. Amen. We cannot further the kingdom if we broke. That's right. Amen. Say it now. Amen. Get your point. He divides us because he knows if we come together, we can do anything. Didn't it— when, when, when, uh, what is that, when they was building the tower? Yeah. God said, I gotta confuse their language. Yes. Because they was working together. And when they was working together, they was building that tower to get up there. And God knew he had to do something, so he confused their language to stop them. But what if all of us get together like that? Oh, what if all of us get together, work together? Nothing can stop us. Amen. Nothing can stop us. It don't take thousands of people. No, it don't. See, the enemy want to trick us, Elder, thinking that we got to have thousands. We don't. What's in here can do it. If we get on one accord with one mind, we can build. Amen. But see, the enemy wants to divide and keep us divided. That we don't work together. Oh, I can't work with her. Oh, I can't work with him. Right. And just have all this conflict that's going on in the body. Well, this church can't go and be with this church, and that church can't be with— come together with that church because we in so much competition. How can we be in competition and we going for the same thing? Amen. And the goal is to win souls for the kingdom of heaven. That's right. That's the one object. That's the one thing, is to win souls for the kingdom. But we so divided, and that's how the enemy want to keep us divided. Ignorancy— to be blind, to be in darkness without proper knowledge. to be cut off from the relationship with God. Uh-huh. He wants to keep us blinded in darkness, not having the proper knowledge. The scripture say, with all thy getting, get an understanding, get revelation, be knowledgeable. of the Word. Why the enemy can defeat us so? Because we don't have knowledge of his Word. He know we are ignorant. He knows that we are ignorant when it comes to his Word. The enemy know his Word better than we know it. That's right. And so by him knowing the Word of God and what the Word of God says, He can use that against us because he know we don't know nothing. He don't know because we don't get in the Bible like the Bible says to get in the Bible and to study to show ourself approved. We don't study. Amen. Amen. We too busy relying on one person to feed us. Amen. So that means I'm only eating on Sunday and Wednesday. Hallelujah. Amen. 'Cause we ignorant. We ignorant. And we in the church ignorant because we don't know God's Word. And we don't speak God's Word and we don't live God's Word. And so that's why we continue to stay in poverty. That's why we continue to be divided. Because we do not take the time out and study his word. Amen. And it's called religion. Not kingdom. We so, we so just want to come to church. 'Cause church is religion. And that's what we do. We've been brought up on Sunday, you go to church. But that's religion. And it's hurting us. That's why the ones that are kingdom-minded that's in the house of God get so frustrated. Come on, come on. And get so angry. And want to give up sometimes. Because there's a tug of war going on. Because I'm kingdom, and then if you're religion, and that's going to be a constant fight. Yes, it is. Amen. And you're trying to bring in 2 worlds to bring them into one. Yes. Amen. And it's not going to mix. It's just like oil and water. You can put it, you can shake it up, it gonna separate. You can shake it up again, it gonna separate. That's right. We supposed to be like sugar and salt. If you mix sugar and salt together, you cannot separate it. You can't even see which one is sugar and which one is salt. Because it's together. They look the same. And that's how we supposed to be in the church, in kingdom, looking the same. That's right. As one. And that's religion. Sickness. Why is sickness in the church so? Why is sickness in the church so? Because of religion. They didn't have that in the garden. Say it again, darling. There was no sickness. Adam didn't have to worry about no food. He had trees. He didn't even have to till the ground. He didn't have to work. We have to work it out. We have to work it out. But he didn't have to do that. Sickness, a broken heart, stress of losing something, physical and mental— mentally depleted. A broken heart, why we so sick? Because we lost something. Mm-hmm. And that's why I say even though if you did lose something, you can do it again. You can get it back. But we hold on to that hurt. We hold on to that pain. And it causes us to be sick. Physical and mentally depleted. Because we don't let it go. Uh-huh. We carry it. We walk— some of us is walking around with stuff 20 years ago. Uh-huh. 15 years ago, things have happened to us. My daddy raped me. My mama abused me. I was molested by an uncle. Not saying that ain't That's, that's wrong. But if it happened 15 years ago, you gotta let it go. Give it to God. You gotta get somewhere and get healed. I don't care if you have to go to a psychiatrist. That's right. Whatever it takes, go get healed. That's right. Because it's causing sickness in the body. It's causing things in the body, and you don't even know why I'm still going through certain things in my body. Uh-huh. Because of that broken heart. The scriptures say, a broken heart, who can bear? Who can bear it? Our hearts gotta be healed. For God to flow through our hearts like he needs to flow through our hearts, it has to be healed. Amen. Amen. It has to be healed. We can't harbor unforgiveness. We can't harbor hate and anger and strife and bitterness in our heart. That's right. But then we want to pray in love. Come on now. Come on. But we have all this in our heart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That don't go. God can't really flow and show himself in us and let the anointing fall and move in the atmosphere like it needs to because we have— our hearts ain't right. Our hearts ain't right. That's why God say, before you bring the gift to the altar, Go back and get it right. Amen. See, it's not enough to go to God and say, God, I'm sorry, forgive me because I transgressed or transpassed somebody, or I said something to somebody I shouldn't have said, or I did something that I shouldn't have did. So God, I'm sorry. That's not enough. No, it's not. Amen. That's the first step. But now you got to go to that person. I said something to you I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? Ask for the forgiveness. Because minister, people taught us something. When you ask for forgiveness, they have to forgive us. You just can't say I'm sorry. You got to ask, will you forgive me? Amen. Amen? Amen. Number 5, oppression. Mm-hmm. Oppression. Oppression is trapped people, people that's trapped on different levels. Mm-hmm. Oppression is keeping people in a box, keeping labels on people. See, the world system wanna keep us oppressed. That's right. Yeah. That's right. Wanna keep us oppressed because they know if it's not enough room for everybody to the top. So he, she, they want the world system, 'cause that's how the government here, the world system wanna keep us oppressed. For an example, people who's on Social Security. They wanna keep them oppressed. Because now they telling you, you can't work. You can't have extra income coming in. Because they wanna keep you in that system. That's right. But that system keep you in poverty. Yeah, you right. Some systems with SSI, you can work a little bit, but you can't work, I think it's like 30 hours a week you can't work over. They keep you in that system. They oppress you to keep you down. People who's, who's who on different systems dealing with food stamps. Now I don't knock food stamps 'cause I done been on food stamps before. But it was only for a time in my season in my life. Right. So I don't knock that at all 'cause I used them, I sure did. I sure did. And let somebody give me some right now, I'm gonna use them. Amen. I don't knock that, but it's a system they have created to keep you oppressed, to keep you down. That system is created for that. So they can tell you and dictate what you can do. That's right. They wanna label you, and you got to be creative enough to not wear that label. Right. Amen. Stop letting people label you. Amen. That's right. Amen. For an example, if you a black male, black female, I mean a black male, they can label you. And they do label you. Sure do. If you have been in the judicial system, in jail or prison, you got a label when you come out. You can't get a job. You can't get different fundings because of your record. Good jobs, they said. Careers or whatever. 'Cause the first thing they say, only thing, Have you been convicted of a felony? That's right. And if you check yes, they're not even looking at your application. They're throwing it away. That's why so many lie on the application. And they take the risk of later on them finding out and then you get fired. But so many companies rely on you checking that box because if you check that box, they don't have to pay that money to get your fingerprints checked. Do you know how much that would cost if everybody come in there, they check them fingerprints? Yeah. So they rely on you to tell the truth and put it on there so they can just throw your application in the garbage. And that's fair. Yeah. They put labels on you. And they can tell you what you can do and what you can't do. And that's how the system operates. And this religion, it oppresses us. Mm-hmm. And that's why we can't get different things and different fundings. I was watching on the news that how the, the, the, the, um, the Pulse Club have all this money, right? People are funding. And one guy was on there said that he was there, uh, in the club and it, it bothered him so that he, he can't sleep or eat or anything like that. And so he was trying to apply for the money, right? Because the money is for the ones who was in there. Right. If you got hurt or not. Right. So he applied for the money and they told him he can't have it because he got a record. He had a felony. Wow. That's the benefit. See, see, things that— so a lot of things that we can't have because we lost the benefit. They look— because they gonna do a background check on everyone that applied for that money, and he had a felony, he couldn't get it. That's right. He lost the benefit. That's what Adam did. Adam and Eve didn't lose heaven, but they lost earth. They lost the dominion. They lost dominion on the earth. They lost the benefit because they fell. See, you got to know kingdom. We got to understand kingdom. And when we fall and get into sin, we lose benefits. Yes, we do. Yes. We lose benefits. And every time we go down that road, it throws us back and back. Even though we can go to God and say, God, forgive me of all of my sins, and repent. But guess what? You got to Pay the consequence though. The consequence don't leave. That's what the enemy fools us and tricks us that okay, you can just ask God to forgive you. Yes, you do that, but whatever you did is a consequence to that, and you're gonna pay it. Yeah. You lose the benefits. Hallelujah. You lose the benefits. And that's what Adam and Eve did. They lost dominion over the earth. They lost the benefits. 'Cause they ain't have to work. They ain't have to worry about no food. Shelter. Shelter. They didn't have to worry about all that. Hallelujah. They had everything. Everything was worked out for them. Everything was worked out for them. But when you're not in kingdom, when you're not kingdom-minded, And you don't have the citizenship, you lose benefits. You lose benefits. You lose benefits. Amen? Amen. I'm almost finished. Hallelujah. Let's go to— let's go to Genesis 4:25. I didn't put the— can you get that in your Bible? I forgot to put it on my notepad. Genesis 4 and 25. Just a minute. Hallelujah. See, around in the third— in Genesis 3, when Cain and Abel— when Cain and Abel got into this situation, and when Cain killed Abel because of his jealousy, Um-hmm. because Abel brought the best to God. And God said to Cain, why are you so angry? Why, why are you so angry? Why your countenance have fallen? If you only do good, I can receive what you have. He said, but if you don't do good, sin lies at the door. That's right. Don't you know sin is everywhere with you? Come on now. It's right there. And when we don't do good, sin is right there. He said, if you only do good, I will receive it. Don't, don't throw me anything. Don't give me anything. And think it is acceptable. Amen. Don't do that. Read— oh, okay. Read Genesis 4:25. And Adam knew his wife again, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For God, she said, had appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom the Cain slew. Keep going. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enoch. Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. Right there, that last part, begin. What it says? Began to call upon the name of the Lord. That's where religion started, right there. Because in Genesis 1 and 2, and God showed me this, they didn't have to call on God. He was already there in the garden. That's right. Adam didn't have to call on God 'cause he walked with God in the garden. They didn't have to call on him. Is here when he fell. Now we gotta call on him. That's right. And call means to call out, to wander in search of. Adam did not have to search for God in the kingdom. 'Cause he was already there. He was already walking with him and talking with him. They didn't have to pray. I'm talking about before he fell. Right. So now, We got to— we have to pray. We got to call on the name of the Lord. Amen. Sure you do. We have to fast. Adam didn't have to fast. He didn't have to do that. See, when we get right, kingdom versus religion. I'm going with kingdom. Anytime that you have to provide for yourself, you're going to live in poverty. Amen. Because God is our source, and when we try to provide for ourselves instead of letting God getting in God's Word and let God provide for us. Stop stressing and worrying about tomorrow, 'cause he say, don't worry about tomorrow. That's right. If he fed the birds, the grasshoppers, what more will he do for you? That's right. Amen. We got to get out of religion. We got to get out of religion, y'all. Amen. And get kingdom. Or you— we going to stay in poverty. That's right. And all we going to have is religion. Amen. And we're going to be divided, we're going to be sick, we're going to be ignorant, and we're going to be oppressed. That's right. And that's where the enemy want to keep us at. Keep coming to church. You go to church, as long as the church— as long as the word don't get in you. You can come sing, preach, holler, skip, whatever. As long as that word don't get in you, He fine with it. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. He's okay with it. Hallelujah! We have to get kingdom-minded, y'all. Amen. We have to. We hurting ourselves. We hurting ourselves. And as we get poor. and poor, the doctors getting richer and richer off of us. Yes, ma'am. High blood pressure 'cause you stressed out. Low blood pressure 'cause you worrying. And diabetes and heart disease and all this stuff that's going on in our bodies 'cause we so stressed out. We so bent out. We just don't know what to do. And then we try to come to church to get some answers, but the church is so divided. Mm-hmm. And we so ignorant. And I'm saying me, I'm not saying you. Me, I'm in this with y'all. We are so ignorant. to the enemy devices, and it's almost like I'm giving him bullets to shoot me. That's right. Amen. That's right. Amen. And he will. Amen. He don't have to do that much. He said, you, you're so ignorant, like, here, give me the bullets, give me the bullets, I put in the gun and I'm gonna shoot you with it. That's right. Hallelujah. We gotta do better, y'all. Amen? Amen. This is something for you to go home to think about. Go home and study. Go back to the beginning. Go back to the beginning. I saw that— God showed me that Friday night when I was studying. He said, right here where religion started, because you didn't have to call on me. 'Cause I was there all the time. All the time. But now we got to call on the Lord. We got to try to search for Him. God, where you at? God, where you at? Where you at? Searching, looking for Him. I don't feel you, God. And all the time, God, before Adam fell, He was walking with him. He was there in the cool of the day. His presence was there all the time. All the time his presence was right there. Now we got to pump and pry for the presence of God to come. And he can't come. He want to come. He can't come because we got so much stuff in our hearts. Amen. And then when we come to church and we are holy, Uh-huh. We'll clap our hands and we don't get a release because we want to hold on to it because that's our crutch. Oh God. That's our crutch to get what we want, and so we manipulate people because we don't want to let it go and let God flow. Yes. And when God flow, he gonna heal that heart. Some of us don't want our heart healed. Some of us, if the truth be told, some of us do not want our heart healed because we wanna hold on to it. They hurt me. So we wanna hold on to it so we can use it, pull an ace out the pocket to use it against them again. That's right. But we only hurting ourselves. We think we hurting other people, we only hurting ourselves. Amen? Amen. Amen.
