Your Life Has Led to THIS Moment, How Will You Respond?
You cannot trust how you feel because your feelings are a conglomerate of your experiences. They are built off of your history, not your destiny. You’re in a season where you got to trust your wings. You got to trust your way. You got to trust that what God gave you is enough to handle whatever life throws at you.
You got to trust that God is with you always. If the branch breaks, he’s with you. The reason you got the kind of power you got is not just because you read your Bible, but your Bible read you. All the chaff is being beat away so that the wheat falls to the ground. And whenever God puts you in an uncomfortable situation, he’s sifting you. That’s right.
What matters? What doesn’t matter? What’s real? What’s not real? What counts? What doesn’t count? Who I can’t have? Who I can live without? Where my real people at? Holl at your boy. You go through the experience where you get stuck in this wine press and he starts shaking away stuff that you thought you had to have.
Oh my god. And here comes a call, a high calling, a divine calling, a supernatural calling that has classified information about me that I don’t have on myself. And the angel is speaking out of his knowledge of how I was designed. And I’m living out of my knowledge of what I grew up around. And I have to decide in this struggle which one of these entities is going to win this fight.
What I grew up around or what I was created to be. Because one of them are going to determine what the trajectory of my future looks like. Who am I preaching to? Yes. You remember when me and June started that window and siding company? Yes. You remember that? I got laid off at Union Carbide and he started the window and siding company and did me a favor hiring me. That’s right.
To come in there. We was going to do like daddy and we was going to build a family business, right? and we opened up the windows and signing company and we kept getting into trouble and and ran out of money and I ended up losing my car and I didn’t have no car because I was following his vision. Right. Right. for my life.
[Applause] When I put my car up to get the business out, Lord, I I I did it because I love my brother and I did it because I wanted us to win. I did it because I wanted us to succeed. But I also did it because I didn’t know I was me. [Applause] Had I known I was me, Jan, I would have stepped right over top of the window inside the company.
