Hallelujah. Can we give the Lord Jesus a praise in the room? Can we give our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, a praise that’s worthy of the King of kings and the Lord of Lords? For those of you that are watching online, I hope you don’t use that as an opportunity for you not to clap. ’cause That was for you as well. I’m so grateful to be back here at Cherry Hills that I know that I am part of this family because I believe that everything that you all do is with such prayerful thought and intention. I just wanna just say to the staff and to the leadership every time I come, they serve me so well. To the point that I say, you know, I think I want a Coca-Cola and I know I’m part of the family ’cause they got me one that said, homie <laugh>.

So I, I’m, I’m part of the family, and to God be the glory you all, I, I’m a part of an elite club. I’m a card carrying member of this elite club. And I’m probably actually one of the most elite card carrying members. I’m in the grandparents club and and that is Ella Simone Jones. And I’m so grateful to God that I have the most intelligent, anointed gifted grandchild that has ever lived and walked the earth and just grateful to the Lord for God’s goodness. Isn’t God good to us? Is there anybody grateful for the goodness of God? Amen. Let, lemme just say this, y’all, this is not even in the sermon. I I think sometimes we’re waiting for this moment in the future. We’re waiting for some other kind of an event that’s yet to come, to actually pause and say, God, thank you.

You know, when God created everything, he stopped along the way, things weren’t done yet. And he said, that’s good. And I think we can learn something from, from God by pausing a little bit to say, you know what, God, things are good. So could you just for one minute, just let the Lord know, God, thank you for your goodness. Give him a praise saying, God, you’re good. Thank you for my family, thank you for my, for my relationships, for my job, for my help, for my strength. Amen. So, when I got the subject of this particular series about wisdom for dummies, I remember when I was first taking up photography as, as a hobby and someone out of their love for me got me photography for Dummies book. And and listen, y’all, I, I, i just, I, I knew that they, their heart was in the right place.

But it was something about the term for dummies that made me wonder, what are you thinking about me? What are you saying about me? But if any of you ever read any of those books, they really aren’t that simple. But really what they do is they take these extremely complex subject matters and bring them down into kind of bite-size concepts that we can actually understand and apply. And that is really what wisdom is, isn’t it? It’s the application of knowledge. And so when we talk about wisdom and trying to understand what wisdom is, wisdom is the, the information that we receive, the, the content that we’ve received in our life, in our minds, and in our our journeys, and how do we apply that, right? How do we apply what we know? It’s one thing to know it, it’s another thing to apply it.

And the Book of Proverbs specifically gives us tools about wisdom. So let’s pray about the message today. Father, we thank you for the worship that’s been lifted to your name. Pray that you will please we’re singing to you. Thank you now for this opportunity that we have to gather around your word. It is a lamp to our feet. It is a light on our path. We cannot stumble in the darkness when your word illuminates the way Holy Spirit speak to us, that we will forever be chained and transformed to be more like you. And it’s in Jesus’ name that we pray and all that agree with that said, amen and amen. And so you, I wanna talk from the subject. Well, lemme get to that in a minute. Proverbs 18, Proverbs chapter 18, verse 21. And Proverbs 21, 23. Those two passages are where I want to kind of hang the focus of our message.

So Proverbs 18 and 21, and Proverbs 21 and 23. So the first one says, death and life are in the power of the tongue. And they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it for death or life. Proverbs 21, 23, those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity. Lemme read that again. Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity. I want you to help me announce the subject of the message today. I want you to turn to your neighbor and ask your neighbor a question. Turn to your neighbor and say, neighbor, alright. You gotta, you gotta decide which neighbor you gonna turn to turn to your neighbor and say, neighbor, are you ready to be tongue tied? Now, turn to your second choice and say to them, Hey, neighbor, I think you really do need to know how to be tongue tied.

I, I, I wanna I wanna talk about tongue tied, or another way of saying taming the tongue, taming the tongue. The tongue is the organ of the body. You all, that’s about two ounces of, is two ounce slab of mucus membrane enclosing complex arrays of nerves and muscles. And it allows us you all to chew, to swallow, to taste our food, and even to articulate words. It’s an essential part of our life and our body, right? But when we talk about the tongue in, in context to this particular subject matter, we’re not talking about the tongue and its function in eating or its function necessarily informing words. We’re talking about the kinds of words that the tongue is forming, the kinds of words that the tongue is using. And we’re saying you all, that indeed that tongue is able to do several things.

So we’re gonna talk about three points today. Your power, the power that you have with your tongue, but secondly, your prudence, right? The, the prudence of the responsibility or the ownership that all of us have with our mouths and tongue, and then the product or the result of that. All right? So we’re gonna talk about three things. We’re gonna talk about the fact that we got, God has called us to have power, prudence and product. So let’s talk about the power of the tongue. The scripture opens up you all in Proverbs 1821 saying, death and life are in the power of your words or the power of the tongue. Now, you all, that’s a pretty serious statement. God is saying that literally the things that we say, or the things that we don’t say, they’re able to produce two outcomes and only two, they either produce life or they produce death.

No in between, no ambiguity. So the scriptures are clear that life is produced by words that we say, or death is produced by words that we say. And so you all, if we realize that death and life are connected to the power of the tongue, we should realize then that the tongue and what we say, how we say it, and the things that we choose to say are producing the life that we’re currently living, or the life that we want to live. Could it be that the life that we’re living right now is the culmination of the things that have been spoken over you. The type of view you have about yourself, the type of optimism or pessimism that you have about the world, or about God or religion, or whatever it may be. It’s formed and shaped many times by the things that have been poured into us.

The way that we were weird, the way that we were trained, the way that we were developed in our homes, the, the words of life or debt that were spoken to us in our childhood have shaped the type of people that we’ve become. Many of us have been, unfortunately damaged by words of death. Haven’t you had somebody speak something over your life that was extremely painful, extremely negative. And many of us right now are actually still grappling with the words of debt that parents spoke to us. The words of debt that may be a teacher or an instructor spoke to us. And so now we’re living a life that is full of self-doubt and negativity, a lack of faith because of something that someone poured into us long time ago, death that is still being produced by the words that they said. But on the converse, there’s some people that spoke life to us that helped transform us.

Someone that believed in you, someone that said that you can make it. That you have the ability and the capacity to do beyond what you’re seeing and beyond what you’re doing and their words of life are now producing the life that you have. I wanna say to us that the life that we want to have is connected directly to the words that we’re using. Well, I don’t believe that pastor. Well, the Bible said it. The Bible said that life and death are connected to the power of your words. Many of us are using words in ways that are producing death in the lives of the people that we’re speaking to. Unwittingly, I pray that we’re not doing it for the purpose of producing death. Maybe it’s because of ignorance, but I want to ad minus that for some of us, the things that we’re saying to our loved ones are things that are producing outcomes of death.

Can I just say this to you? Do you know that your children are not going to be the same? I just thought I’d throw that out there. Did you know that one of your children, the one that always does the right stuff, is the only one that does the right stuff, right? And what happens when you say to other kids, I wish you could be more like your sister. I wish you could be more like your brother. I wish you could be. You know, it’s so you know. Do you know that every time you compare them, you’re speaking death to them? And do you know that their siblings right now who don’t speak to each other right now because they were formed in the family unit by parents who began to compare them one to the other, and now they don’t even get along today?

Could it be that the marriage that you have is where it is? Because the words that are being spoken are not words of life, but words of death. Many of us don’t try to do it. I don’t believe we want to say I don’t listen. I don’t believe we wake up saying, you know what? I can’t wait to speak a word of death over my spouse. I want them to die. Well, some of y’all might. Now that’s a whole nother thing. <Laugh>, I wanna speak these words of death over her. I wanna speak these words of death. No, I don’t think you do that. But I think that most of us in our watch this now, in our attempt to help them be like us and see the way we see or operate the way we operate, we then develop a, a set of words that we put upon them to act in a way that they are not able to act. Do you know that after all these years, all the words that you use to get them to do what they ain’t doing, they still ain’t doing it and they ain’t gonna probably ever do it because they were gonna do it. They would’ve done it in year 30.

So then we do stuff like this. Well, it’s obvious that you’re having a difficulty with this. So let me break it down for you, right? Then you start getting really, you know so let me draw. Listen, my wife is an educator, so she draws charts for me, right? Is if I’m gonna like read a chart at home, right? But, but the bottom line is that in her mind, by producing this chart or kind of this list of things that maybe I’m not doing right, that maybe I’ll do it. Usually that produces me feeling like kinda like less than and intimidated and I ain’t going to do it even all the more. So now, because now you making me feel stupid and making me feel like you better than me. So I’m gonna really not do you know what I’m saying? But my wife figured out something.

I really believe she did this. I believe that she figured out my, my number one love language is affirmation. All right? And her, that’s her least love language, by the way. Isn’t that funny? I affirm her. I said, honey, you did a great job. She says, I know <laugh>. I’m like, arrogant. Alright? But, but bottom line, my, my number one is affirmation. So <laugh>, she’s like, you know, I I really want him to do the yard, but he’s not doing it. No matter how many times I tell him that the yard is important, it’s the first thing people see. You know? Don’t you want the house to look decent? Yeah. Well, not really, but I remember one time I was doing the yard and she says, you know, I was watching you out the window. And boy, the way your arms were moving when you were holding the lawn mower, the way that your biceps were holding the lawn lawnmower, I mean, and the way the sweat was rolling down your face.

I mean, I never seen anybody. I said, you’ve never seen anybody do what? Bottom line, you all, I had been mowing the yard ever since because she found a way to say some loving things that produced a loving outcome and a life outcome as opposed to expecting me to do something and being negative. Could it be that the outcomes that we’re experiencing are directly connected to the words of life or the words of death that we’ve chosen? And I want you to know that there’s power in your words. The reason that you’re in church today, the reason that you’re listening online is because you’ve come to understand that coming to the, to the worship service and sitting under the word of God is transformative. You’ve come to know that his words are what spirit and life you’ve come to know, that his words do not return void or empty, but they accomplish what he pleases.

And so you’ve chosen to be in an environment where the word of God would wash over you and help us be transformed into his image and likeness. And so we understand the power of the word of God. So we come and assemble to hear it, to be changed by it. But when it comes for us to use it, and when it comes for us to put it in our own mouths, we tend to not do it. Words don’t start with your tongue. They start in your heart. As a matter of fact, your tongue doesn’t just decide to do stuff on its own. Your tongue’s like, Hey, you know, I’m just gonna start talking, even though Harvey’s not gonna, you know, your tongue doesn’t start talking on its own, but your heart compels it to. As a matter of fact, the Bible says, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Watch this. Now, you don’t have to tell us where your heart is. Your words are telling us where your heart is. You don’t to tell us your disposition about God or the world because your words are framing your disposition. And could it be that the negativity and the pessimism and the doubt and unbelief that fill your regular vocabulary is because somewhere in our heart, we’ve become people that are callous and people that are not believing and people that are pessimistic. And could it be that outta the abundance of those fears and the abundance of those negative thoughts and those faithless mindsets, we’re now speaking, I believe that in Jesus’ name, the only way we can change from being people that speak words of death into people that speak words of life, is realizing that it’s gotta start in the heart. The heart is where the change has to happen.

And lemme just say this to all of us that have been wounded and hurt by people. Isn’t it hard to forgive the unforgivable? Isn’t it hard to forgive someone that’s hurt you deeply? Yes. But can I tell you something? Christ in us gives us the capability and the ability to do what we could not do in and of ourselves. It’s the reason that God has given us His spirit is not for goosebumps on Sunday, but it’s for the power of his spirit to give us the capacity to do what you and I could not do without him. Which means that you and I have the capacity to have words of life and a heart filled with life right Now, many of us, that’s not the story. Everything about us is negative. As a matter of fact, I’m gonna be prophetic. I’m gonna prophesy. Before you walk out of those doors and get in your car, you’re gonna have some negative stuff come to your heart.

Why is it taking everybody so long to get out the parking lot? Why don’t people know how to drive? I mean, what, what, what, what, what? Who, who, who bequeathed to them a driver’s license? Why am I paying more money and getting less service? And then you have the nerve to put a tip jar. I mean, you know, it’s attitude upon attitude, upon attitude. I, I don’t like this politician. They don’t share my ideological perspectives about government. And I can’t stand that way. And I gang, gang, gang, the Bible says we ought to pray for those in authority, not have commentary about them and not be negative about them. It is the job of the believer to exercise the power of prayer over those who are in authority over us. Democrat, republican, green party, yellow party, libertarian, or polka.party. It doesn’t matter if you’re over me, I’m praying for you because that’s my job. But what happens when your words become negative and death fields? Watch this. You’re communicating. Watch this. You’re communicating to the world. I don’t want to be set apart and sacred like the God I sing about who is holy. I don’t want to be like him. I don’t wanna be set apart. I don’t want my words to be sacred. I want to respond just like the world responds. You have power to change. And in Jesus’ name, I’m begging you for the sake of your children change. Hear me? They’re not gonna be like you.

When I was young, when the dinosaurs walked the earth, <laugh>, they’re not going to operate the way you do. They’re not gonna see the world the way you see it. Can you love them? Regardless? What’s unconditional love? It’s love. It’s not based on anything the person will do for me. I love you. Siri just says sorry. ’cause You say, you know, when I ask Siri to do something, Siri doesn’t do it. But in the middle of preaching, Siri disturbs my sermon. See, this is a moment of testing. I love you, Siri. Okay, <laugh>. Here it is you all, God is saying to you, you have a choice to make. And the choice is whether or not you will choose to have a heart, which is your mind and your emotion, and the dec, the decisions you make as a result. Okay? You know what? Tell you what, it’s a demon in this watch, I promise you it is, is a demon in it.

It is. I mean, I, I mean I ask it stuff and it just doesn’t answer any of that. Lemme take my phone out too. <Laugh>. Okay. Alright. So God is saying to each and everyone of us, the choice is up to us. We cannot say God, change my words, change my output of death in life. He’s saying, no. I want you to know that the prudence of that is on you. You have the responsibility. Pastor, where is that in the text? I’m glad you told. I’m glad you asked. It’s right here. The Bible tells us that it is our job to own the responsibility. Proverbs 21 and 23, it says, and I love this verse, those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity. Now, in the Bible, you all there several of promises that God makes. Some of them are what we call conditional.

And some of them are, are kind of non-con, unconditional, some promises God makes that has nothing to do with us. I, I’m, I’m, I’m gonna always be with you. I’ll never leave. You never forsake you had nothing to do with you. That’s what I’ll always do. But in this text, you all notice this condition. The people who went to Cherry Hills and the people who watched on the weekend of the 4th of July, those people who choose to guard their mouths and tongue will keep themselves from drama and calamity and destruction. Now, I don’t know, I don’t think any of you all want destruction, do you? Okay, those that didn’t answer, I pray in Jesus’ name for destruction. <Laugh>, there you go right now. Yeah. None of us want calamity. None of us want destruction. None of us want drama. None of us want an outcome That’s not good.

Well, the Bible tells there’s a way to apply wisdom in our lives to avoid calamity. I don’t know about you, but my life is already full of enough drama. I don’t need to add more drama to it. And the way to avoid it is this guard your mouth and your tongue. James one in 26 says, if anybody thinks himself to be religious and does not bridle or guard his tongue, deludes his own heart. And this person’s religious service is worthless Jesus. In Matthew 12 verses 34 through 37, he says, in 34 and 35, you offspring of vipers. Now he’s speaking some words about them because it’s true. How can you speak good things when you are evil? Watch this out of the fullness or the overflow of the heart. The mouth speaks the good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things. And the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse, flings forth evil things.

Watch this. Evaluate what’s coming out of you. And if you evaluate what’s coming out of you, you’ll find that it has two sources, good or evil. If it’s evil, it will always bring about calamity. If it’s good, it will always bring about Glory to God. You all on this 4th of July weekend, I have many friends of mine who are African American who struggle with holidays and struggle with issues. They say stuff like Harvey, you know, I don’t understand. You know, America, you know, all the stuff that they’ve done and all the heinous things they’ve done. I don’t like this country. I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all. And you all, I, I agree that there’s some pretty horrible things that have happened with leaders and people. Because guess what? People are flawed and flawed. People will do flawed things. But I know one thing.

God does not want the believer to respond to evil with evil. He does not want the believer to respond with negativity. With negativity. He wants the believer to find a way to look at it and have a perspective that sees God working in it regardless of the situation. Listen to me, no matter what has happened, even the bad stuff, God wastes nothing. Everything works together for good to those that love God and are the called according to his purpose. And so I’ve come to love God because I love the fact that he loves me in spite of me. And if I can love other people in spite of them, I’m able to then show them the love of God and therefore bring life outta something that the devil would want death to come out of you. And I have that decision. Bridal our tongue. Two words this week that I want you to live by.

Just two simple words. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Now listen, we we’re easy to give those words to other people, but not to ourselves. When you are ready to become negative, shut up. When you’re ready to tell somebody off and get them straight, shut up. When you’re ready to put your mouth on those that God says to pray for who are in leadership over you, shut up. When you’re upset about being where God has placed you, and you cannot decide where God wants you to be. Say, God, I don’t know why you placed me here, but in every situation I’ve learned to be content. Shut up. What would happen if you stop complaining and being negative all the time? Harvey, every time you come, you seem so excited and you seem so positive. What is it about that? Where’d you get that?

Where’d you get that disposition? Do you think that I grew up in the hood in Chicago and just grew up with a disposition. Oh, I think I’m in poverty. I don’t have a dad. I think I’ll be joyful all the time. But the moment I got saved, hallelujah. The moment that the Holy Spirit came on the inside of me, he changed my stinking thinking. He changed my belief that I could not do all things to, I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength and the capacity to do it. And by his grace, I’m able to show up in every situation and give him the glory and give him the honor and give him the praise because I decide to. Secondly, y’all think I really like preaching to white people.

<Laugh>.

Lemme tell you, black people, the moment you get up, they saying amen. The moment you start saying, all right, that pastor you saying it, I got y’all. Mm. That’s it. That’s far as we go. Mm. I mean, that is your hallelujah. That’s your highest pray. Mm. I’ll be preaching. I mean, the vein in my neck is popping. I don’t know if you got it or that, right? So God, in his sense of humor, <laugh> has called me to white people, just like the Apostle Paul, who was a Jew above all Jews, but he was called to the Gentiles. I’m a black above all blacks, but I’m cold to white people. I like Taylor Swift, I like eyes on lacoe. I wear green pants and I wear penny loafers because I’m cold to y’all. <Laugh>, what would happen if I became negative about what white people did? As if all white people did it? You didn’t do it. You didn’t do it. I I You didn’t do it. The white man, the white man, you didn’t do that. So why would be mad at every white person? Why are you mad at everybody? ’cause Your husband don’t like you.

Why are you mad at the person who left you? They left you, they done went on and found somebody else and you still, I’m not gonna drive down Colfax because that’s where they work. Like all I’m saying to you is this, it’s time to start living. It’s time to start experiencing the abundant life. And it starts with your heart lining up with your mouth and your mouth lining up with your heart.

Six minutes. So not only do you need to know the power that’s in your words and be very mindful of what you’re saying, be very careful to not let an idle word be used because you all, there is a product or a consequence that God says will happen. We don’t get a handle of it. Or when we do, and it’s found in Matthew’s Gospel chapter 12 verses 36 and 37. Jesus says, but I tell you on the day of judgment, all of us will have to give an account for every idol word we speak. This is the day of judgment, when the judgment seat of Christ, where all of the people of the world will stand before his judgment seat and be judged by the things we do. Now, it doesn’t mean you’re not a Christian, it doesn’t mean you’re not gonna make it into heaven, but it means that we will all be judged by our lives and the works that we’ve done.

But he says specifically here that on the day of judgment, we have to give an account for every idol word that has come out of our mouth. Now you all, I already got a whole lot of stuff that Jesus gonna be talking to me about in front of the whole universe on the day of judgment. I don’t need to add to it with idle words and words of death that I’ll have to be accountable for. And so if your children’s life is not significant enough, if you choosing to use the words of life to represent Jesus in the world around you and that’s not strong enough, then maybe we’ll appeal to just the selfish side. One day we’ll stand before Jesus, have to give an answer as to why were we so negative to our kids?

Why did we speak words of death to our siblings? Why do we speak words of death to people? Why so many idle words? And so he says, there will be a real consequence for those of us who don’t make the decision to bridle our tongue and bridle our mouth guarded. Shut up, be quiet. There’ll be a real consequence. But then he ends with these other words, which I love. Verse 37, for by your words, by your words, you and I will be justified and acquitted. And by your words, we will also be condemned and sentenced. Jesus says that by our words, we will either be justified and acquitted, or by those words we will also potentially be condemned or sentenced. You all, we’re not gonna get away with it. And so right now, we need to make the decision to change the way that we’re communicating in our world.

Make the decision. And God is not going to do this for you. He’s giving it to us to do. And what would happen in Jesus’ name if we would decide to have our words be filled with faith? What would happen if we decide to have our words filled with life? We’ll begin to show the world a God that is still alive and still able to transform and change any situation. I’m grateful that I am the recipient of a mom who spoke life over me. Single parent mom didn’t have a lot of money, but she had enough Jesus. And she said, you know what? My son is gonna learn the Bible and my son is gonna go to the best schools. And my son is gonna learn how to respect elders. And my son is gonna learn how to love. And because of her loving words to me, I’m able to give loving words to you.

Because the love that my mom chose in her words still live on through me. On Father’s Day, my, my daughter gave me one of those little books, you know those books that you can make out of pictures? And she says, dad, you’re my first hero. And now my daughter, your granddaughter gets to experience the hero that I got to experience. And then she says, dad, thank you for teaching me about Jesus, because now I get to teach my daughter. And so now your child is teaching her child and from generation to generation, he is God. I beg you, church, take your stinking thinking and bury it. I beg you when people cut you off, I pro I prophesy. Somebody gonna cut you off today when they cut you off as opposed to using that other word that you normally use, begin to say, God bless them in the name of Jesus. They must need a special blessing. ’cause They on their way somewhere really fast. Oh God bless them. When you’re meeting somebody that’s not doing a good job, how can I pray for you? ’cause You must need prayer. ’cause You’re definitely not serving me right now. So how can I pray for you? I dare you to start praying for people as opposed to talking about people and watch God move. I dare you to speak life over your daughter and life over your son and life over your siblings and life over our leaders.

Church. Will you do this? All of us will stand before God one day and he’ll say, well done. You’ve done well, come on in to the reward that I have for you, because guess what? You’ve been acquitted because you’ve made a choice to use words that would honor God. Church, it’s your decision and my prayer that as you walk out those doors and this sermon is tested, as you click off that site today and the sermon is tested, then you’ll say, you know what? There’s power in what I say, life or death. I also realize that I have to take the ownership and the prudence of, of, of, of controlling this. I need to guard what I say. But no, I can’t do it. God do it in me. And as I do that, the fruit will be that God will, on the day that he stands to judge me, he’ll say, you know what?

You chose to use words that were life giving. And as a result you are justified and you are acquitted to God be the glory for how he’s gonna transform us. As we transform our tongues, get tongue tied, tame your tongue and get some wisdom for the dummies that we often are. Let’s pray. Father, we love and honor you. We’re so humble that you love us the way you do. And you’re so gracious to us. Father, we pray for the things that we know we can’t do. God many heard this message and say, Harvey, I hear that, but you know, it is impossible for me to look past, disregard and disrespect. It’s impossible for me, Harvey, to look past the things that people are doing to hurt and harm me. And, and I, I I get the, the diff, the difficulty of it, the God. We’re not asking people to do something that they can do.

We’re simply saying, God, teach us to surrender to you Holy Spirit, to do in us what we could not do ourselves. You are gentle. You’re able to give us a gentle answer. You’re able to help us have self-control. These are the fruit of your spirit. And so God teach us to guard our words and guard our tongues. It says about, and eyes are closed. Maybe you’re listening right now and you say, pastor, you know I’m one of those people that’s far from God and I, I wish I could actually apply those things that you’re saying, but I don’t know Jesus. How do I know him? The Bible says, if you draw near to him, he’ll draw near to you. If you would call upon the name of the Lord, you can be part of his family. What does it mean? Jesus, I believe you’re the son of God.

You died and rose again from me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I surrender to you to simply doing that in your heart and mind and making that decision in that moment. The Bible says, whoever calls upon the name of Jesus shall be saved, shall be a part of God’s family. Did you just do that? Did you just surrender? Did you just acknowledge that Jesus is the Lord? Guess what? You’re part of his family. Pastor’s gonna give instructions about what you can do next, but no one thing. Now you have the power by the Spirit of God to control what comes outta your mouth, which ultimately stems from your heart. Thank you Lord God for this amazing church. Thank you for its leadership. Thank you God for how you are letting your spirit move for people getting saved and transformed. We honor you for what you’re doing and what you’re yet to do. In Jesus’ name, amen and amen and amen. Give the Lord praise in this house. Hallelujah.
