[applause] And the whole church together said, "Praise the Lord." >> Praise the Lord. >> I'm thankful today, Almighty God, for this great music, this anointed music to prepare my heart, our hearts for what you have for us today. Oh God, I pray that everything said will glorify you.

[music] I say it often, Lord. I can't do this without help from the Holy Spirit. This is not memorized.

This is not from habit. This [music] is a total dependence on the uncction of the Holy Ghost. So I pray Lord even though I've looked at these scriptures and made some notes that I will not be bound to the point that I miss what you would want me to say.

Every one of us, Lord, needs to be changed. We need to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior. Again, I pray for those who have not yet believed on you.

It doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't. as good as you are and as many free and precious gifts as you offer. Why wouldn't they believe, Lord?

But that's your job, isn't it, Holy Spirit? I'll preach it. We'll say amen.

And then we'll see what you do with it. In Jesus' name [music] we pray. Everybody said amen again.

>> Amen. >> Smile at somebody on the way down. Now, I have to tell you, I came to church a little happier than normal.

I've been spending some time this week just listing, meditating on all the goodness of the Lord in my life. You can't do that for very long without getting pretty happy. I'll talk about joy in a moment, but right now I'm talking about being happy in the Lord.

Happy is the people whose God is the Lord. >> I got to thinking about it again and as many times as I have thought about it, I remembered that I was lost, blind, dead in trespasses and sins. But God who is rich in mercy, >> rich in mercy, saw me, >> reached way down, >> picked me way up, brushed me off, or might I say washed me off, cleaned me, cleaned me up, forgave me of all my transgressions, past, present, and future.

Call me to be his own son. Put me in the church of the living God. Place me in the body of Christ.

Put Christ in me, the Holy Spirit. Do you see what I'm saying here? >> Why wouldn't everybody be running to the altar that doesn't know the Lord?

>> I honestly don't get it. I don't know why lines aren't way out the front door of gospel preaching churches. This is wonderful, wonderful truth.

>> Saved by the grace of God. >> For by grace you have been saved, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest we should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Praise the Lord. So clean, forgiven, on my way to heaven.

accepted in the beloved. I'm still talking about gifts from God, folks. >> I'm made right in the eyes of God.

Well, the reason we don't get it, we don't understand the work of the Holy Spirit. But as I'm talking to you right now, all over this world, God is taking out a people for himself. There is not a nation in the world in which the Holy Spirit is not working right now.

[clears throat] The nation in the darkest teachings of Islam or Buddhism or witchcraft or anything else cannot keep the Holy Ghost. I say Holy Ghost because I'm oldfashioned [clears throat] to update it for some of you. Cannot hinder the Holy Gh.

He can pierce darkness, >> blindness. He can raise the dead, >> and he's at work right now taking out a people for his name. And I get happy because, and I've preached it, you know, for many years now, God created the world and the world sinned against God and God washed that world away.

And God let a new world start through Noah. And then man went downhill again. And God just out of his own sovereignty reached down and picked out a man named Abraham and said, "I'm going to cause you to be a blessing to all the nations.

And out of you, out of your seed will come the deliverer, the Messiah." Then the prophets began to prophesy to tell us he's coming. And then John the Baptist ended all the Old Testament prophets by saying, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord." Then Jesus showed up. >> Praise God for Jesus.

>> And Jesus said, "I'm going to build something you've never heard of before. It's called the church." Noah didn't know about it. Prophets didn't know about it.

Abraham didn't know about it. John the Baptist didn't even know about it. The apostles didn't know about it.

Jesus said, "Breaking news. I'm going to build something called the church. And the church will be comprised of Jews and Gentiles and whosoevers.

>> Whosoever believes on me will be saved and will pass from death unto life." I'm already getting, >> you know, it's amazing how we say things. I don't know how many funerals we've had here lately, but we occasionally say they've passed. You know, I get phone calls, so and so passed, which means they passed from life unto death.

>> Jesus just switched it around. >> He said, "Whoever believes ON ME HAS PASSED from death unto life." Isn't that amazing? >> Well, then praise the Lord one time.

THEN YOU'VE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE. [applause] And so what we have now is the church. This is the age of grace.

We're not under law. We're not under the bondage of the law. We are under grace, the favor of the Lord.

Whosoever will, let him come and drink. Whosoever believes shall be saved. So for the last 2,000 years since Pentecost until right now, we've been in the church age.

And the grace of God has been poured upon us. And Paul writes and says, uh, this church has been built upon the foundations of the apostles. Now remember, the apostles were those that Jesus chose to follow him, know him.

The apostles, legitimate apostles, walked with him, talked with him, saw him die, uh, watched him on the cross. They saw him when he was raised from the dead and they saw him ascend into heaven. That's that's the apostilhip.

And Paul said the church is built on that. Apostles and prophets and the prophets speak forth boldly and then pastors and teachers. So you have a whole sequence, a whole system in the church of getting people ready to live in heaven with Christ for eternity.

It's like uh Jesus is the ark of safety. We talk about Noah's ark. Hello.

What about Christ? The ark of safety. Now, how does that function?

Well, it's like the door is still open. And the evangelist stands in the door and says, "WHOSOEVER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE.

DESTRUCTION IS COMING. BUT THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO CAN GIVE YOU LIFE. DANGER is on THE WAY.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE DESTROYED. BUT YOU CAN WALK through this door." Evangelists standing there PLEADING WITH PEOPLE, "COME TO CHRIST. COME TO CHRIST.

AND WHEN THEY come in here, the pastor teacher takes over and says, "Now, we're going to make disciples out of you. We're going to teach you what thus sayeth the Lord and cause you to walk in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. We're going to teach you teach you how to bear fruit, but most of all, we're going to teach you how to operate in the church.

The church is God's hand, God's word, God's mouth, God's people, God's body, GOING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE earth telling people, "Come to Christ. There's no other name among men that has been given that can save them from their sins." So, you and I get to do that. >> We're ambassadors for Christ.

Hallelujah. There are evangelists in the world and they are beckoning people to come in. Then there are pastors and teachers who are and that's exactly what I'm doing to you right now.

I'm pastoring you. I'm teaching you. I'm affirming you.

I'm educating you to walk closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the church is part of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is sovereign.

The kingdom of God is where God rules. And that's everywhere. There is no place that God is not ruling.

Did you hear me? >> God rules every nation. Even though wicked kings are in charge and uh God rules regions and the Bible says that a king cannot even make a decision without God's approval because the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord.

I don't want to get into all that. I'll I'm telling you, I'll go down a rabbit trail in a minute when I get on this again. I'll just tell you when you when your man is in office, YOU SAY, "YEAH, GOD PUTS HIM THERE." But when your man doesn't go in or your side doesn't go in, you say, "I don't know about all that now.

I don't believe God's in what's going on." Why don't you stop that foolishness >> and realize that God sets them up and brings them down and God wait and God is manipulating everything everywhere to the point where one day his son will stand right in front of a throne and he will spread his garments and he will sit down and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. >> [applause] >> AND SO THE CHURCH IS PART of that whole thing. It's a phase in the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you. It's not some governmental structural thing out there. The kingdom of God is within me right now.

It's within every believer right now. But Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. I'm giving you these scriptures for a reason.

My kingdom is not of this world." So the church is not here trying to bring in the kingdom. The church is here to preach the gospel, make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit, establishing them in the faith. Did you hear what I just said?

>> It is not the church's role to bring the kingdom to Jesus. The church's responsibility is to preach the whole Bible. The whole Bible rightly divided and properly um defined the Bible to make disciples followers of Jesus, people madly in love with Christ.

And after they hear the gospel, Jesus said, "I want you to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Because there's a trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And baptism is important because it's a testimony. It's a sermon that as Christ was buried and raised again to walk in newness of life because of Christ, you are buried in the water and brought up to say, "I belong to Jesus.

I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My whole life has been changed." Well, now we're going to get a little sticky here. I am fairly convinced some of you won't be back after today.

So, I'm [snorts] that's just a little warning right there. And I and I am not available for any discussions. See, I've been here long enough I can do that.

I just don't have to explain everything I say. >> So, here we go. I h just a moment ago I said the church is not here to take over the world.

No, we're here to be taken out of the world. >> Did you get it? >> We are not here to conquer the world because Jesus said, "I've already overcome the world." So in his name and by his power, we are not trying to conquer the world.

We are trying to redeem through preaching the lost of the age. I say that and and I'm continuing from last week's message on false teachers, false prophets, false brethren, false. And then Wednesday night at prayer meeting.

Oh, you should have been here. >> We had a great time, didn't we, Pastor Greg? We did a little more discussion on that.

And we did a lot of praying about that. I want you to look at me or no, look with me to second Peter chapter 2, beginning with verse one. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

And here's what hurts a pastor's heart. and many will follow their destructive ways. I stand here today h it's been a few weeks since I mentioned it.

I stand here today, next month, Sandra and I will have been here 49 years and I have seen it all. I've seen them come and go. I've seen good people get caught up in bad doctrine, start following bad teachers.

I've seen them leave a church that was preaching the truth and go to churches who were preaching false teachings and doctrines and get caught up and get bound up in bondage and even some got discouraged and quit altogether. They are scarred for the rest of their lives. I have seen this standing in this pullpit for all those years.

I have seen how many will follow their destructive ways because of whom the way of truth will be will be blasphemed and by covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words. I don't know how, but when you get to false teachers and false prophets and false everything, money, money gets involved all the time. Money, money, money.

I'm going to stop right here because I may not live long enough to tell it. A lady said to us Wednesday night, Pastor Greg, that she has a friend who's been here many times, right? and she just paid $1,000 to learn how to be a prophetist right down the road here at Rick Joiner's church.

She paid $1,000 to learn how to be a prophetist. Do you think that upsets me to know that people sat right here and listened but then can so quickly be deceived by some kind of Tommy rot as that? Because by covetousness they will exploit you with decept [clears throat] deceptive words.

For a long time their judgment has not been idle and their destruction does not slumber. I will be 75 this year and I I am in my eighth decade of life. I grew up in the church.

I'm still in the church and I can tell you from the time I was little until right now, I've seen a lot of the movements, the religious movements, the revival movements um run across this country like a wildfire. I'm I can remember the latter reign movement which started emphasizing new apostles and new prophets and new prophecies. I was around for the Toronto blessing where supposedly a revival broke out in Toronto, Canada near the airport.

And for years, tens of thousands of people would fly in from all over the world to have hands laid on them, to have gifts imparted to them. [cough] There are still videos of people rolling in the floor, screeching and screaming at the top of their lungs, crawling like animals, and barking like dogs. And they call that a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

God's not in that. >> And people have been damaged. Well, I saw that happen at Brownsville in Florida a few years ago.

People would get up to talk, but they couldn't because they were so uh overcome with the Holy Ghost, they would shake wildly. Their women's hair would pop like a whip, and they would uh utter foolishness and chatter, stupidness. And they call that the power and the spirit of God.

Well, that fizzled out, too. What you got left is a bunch of damaged, confused people who think that's what Christianity is. The word of faith movement is still going on.

And in my own family, we are still dealing with the remnants of that kind of foolish faith that whatever you say comes to pass. So you live in a state of denial and then you don't you can't be around other people who don't have the level of faith that you do. So you leave them.

You leave the church. You leave the family. And I told you just a few weeks ago, I'm a realist.

I don't go around saying, "Oh, everything's good. Everything's great. Wow.

Never been better." No, I go around saying, "There's some bad stuff going on in my life. >> We're in pain. We're in misery.

I don't know how we're going TO MAKE IT, BUT GOD [applause] is on the throne. >> AND GOD WILL BRING US THROUGH IT. AND GOD WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD.

OF COURSE, THINGS GET BAD, BUT [screaming] GOD KNOWS HOW TO TAKE WHAT'S BAD AND TURN IT INTO GOOD TO GLORIFY HIS NAME. >> [applause] >> I was around during the faith healing movement where you had a bunch of guys get tents, put sawdust under them. Thousands would come, bring crippled people, and you know, there's very little proof that anybody really got healed.

I've investigated this enough to know I was around for the full gospel business men's fellowship. I saw the damage that that thing did, that movement. Guys would meet in hotels and convention centers and lay hands on each other and knock each other out and fall in the floor, prophesy over one another.

Deus Shicarian was the icon of the movement. We had a few one time to come to church here and I had an altar call and we were praying for people and both of them just went boom fell out and I went up to one of them. I said, "Excuse me." What just happened?

Well, the power of God came on me. I said, "All right, lay there and let's see if he'll stand you up. I said, "You don't have to do that.

God doesn't need to knock you out. >> Just receive the word of the Lord. >> I've seen all that." And people are protective of it.

They don't want you to say anything about it. They don't want you to EXPOSE ANYTHING. THEY DON'T want to be wrong.

But I am I am telling you, we are still wrestling with the prosperity movement. That God wants everybody to prosper and be rich. And if you don't have enough faith, that's why you're in debt and that's why you're poor.

And it just goes on and on. And that not one word of that is true. Amen.

>> Just another parenth parenthetical thing here. You'll notice this choir doesn't sing Bethl music. We don't sing I don't know why you laugh clapping.

What's the other one, Greg? Song >> Hill song. We don't do that.

There's another one or two. Huh? >> Elevation.

We don't do their music because that's false teaching. They are false prophets. And every time you sing one of those songs, you have to send money to them.

Don't That's what we do, right? It's called ASCAP. You get in the organization, you pay a fee, somebody sings your song, you get money for it.

I'm not supporting those movements. We'll write our own music, won't we? And we've done it.

And what you heard this morning was them writing our own music. except for Charity Gale. [snorts] So, we're still dealing with this prosperity gospel thing.

Then I was around for the shepherds movement. You know what the shepherd's movement is? It's that suddenly when they start elev they are reestablishing apostles.

Well, again, I just told you a while ago to be an apostle, you had to see the risen Jesus with your own eyes. You had to see him on the cross. You had to live with him.

You had to have been taught by him. Those apostles are gone. You can't reestablish apostles.

But in the shephering movement, they decided they would do that. And so, everybody had to answer to the shepherd. For example, if I'm the shepherd and you belong to my flock, you can't take a vacation without discussing it with me or one of my prophets.

You can't buy a house unless you get permission from me or one of the prophets. You can't start a family until you talk to me. I'll tell you when to start and how many to have.

That was called the shephering movement. Many people got caught up in it. Many people got scarred and lots of people were destroyed.

So what I am trying to tell you today is that this scripture is absolutely applicable to the very moment we are living. Because there is a movement now [snorts] that has subtly taken over and there are lots of young pastors with the tight jeans and the t-shirts and the their hair is all funky and they got tattoos and necklaces. They they've done away with the choir.

They got a rock band on stage. They took out all the pews and put in theater seating and painted everything black and they've got lights flashing everywhere and smoke a flowing. A lot of those are in the new apostolic reformation movement.

What does that mean? They believe that the church is supposed to take over the world so we can give it to Jesus. That Jesus cannot come back to this earth until the church conquers this earth and presents it to Christ so he can come back and rule.

They believe that through changing the culture, which involves business, we got to get believers in the business world. We got to take over the business world. And by the way, that includes a transfer of wealth.

They believe that God is going to cause the wicked to give their money to the righteous. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Some of this stuff is just so silly. You can't help but laugh. They call it a transfer of votes [snorts] so WE CAN WIN THE WORLD AND CONQUER THE world and give it to Jesus.

We need some money. So God's going to make the world give us the money. And when we get the money, then we're going to take over the media ministry.

We're going to take over Hollywood and New York. And then we're going to take over the arts. All of the art will glorify Christ.

And all of the artists will be believers. And then we're going to reestablish the prophets so that they can tell you how to live with your family and where to live. And then they're going to take over religion and make sure that everybody is a Christian.

Now, you're looking at me like I have two noses. But folks, that is the truth. That's what people are teaching and that's what false prophets are giving to the people.

There's a verse of scripture that they stand on out of Psalm chapter 2. Ask of me and I will give you the nations and the heathen for thine inheritance. And they say, there it is.

There's the proof. No. No.

God the Father SAID THAT TO JESUS the Son. You see, they believe that that Israel is no more. God's done with Israel, and all the scriptures used to apply to Israel now apply to the church.

So, they misapply them and deceive the people. Then there's this thing they do called identifying demons. They believe that over every city is a particular demon with a particular name.

over every region a demon with a certain name. So they organize spiritual warfare conferences. They determine what the demonic name over Charlotte is.

Then they get together to cast it out and cast it away so that the church can now own Charlotte. How do I know this? Because I had some come right down here and tell me a while back, we believe that God has raised you up to start one of these spiritual warfare conferences.

I was surrounded and I looked and said, "Uh, news flash. He didn't call me to do that and I'm not going to do it. And I'm not the man cuz I don't even believe what you're talking about.

>> What he has called me to do, I'm doing it. >> And what I'm doing CAN TEAR THE WHOLE NATION. >> DOWN FROM THE GRIP OF THE DEVIL.

>> WHOLE kingdoms can be destroyed. THE WORD OF GOD CANNOT BE STOPPED. THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS MIGHTIER THAN ANYTHING.

>> WHEN YOU PREACH ABOUT JESUS, DEVILS HAVE TO RUN. WHEN YOU LIFT UP JESUS, CITIES HAVE TO BE REVIVED. WHEN YOU PREACH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, SINNERS HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO PRAY.

I'M DOING WHAT HE CALLED ME TO DO, AND THAT IS PROCLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS WHEREVER [screaming] I GO, AND THAT'S THE BUSINESS OF THE CHURCH TODAY. [applause] OH, but pastor, pastor, what about Daniel chapter 10? When Daniel was praying and he prayed for 21 days and finally Gabriel showed up and said, "Daniel, beloved of God, God heard you the first time you prayed and he sent me with the answer, BUT THE PRINCE OF Persia stopped me, INTERRUPTED ME, WOULDN'T LET ME COME.

I HAD TO CALL MICHAEL. And when Michael came and started doing battle, then I could come and give you the message, folks, THAT YOU CAN'T USE THAT SCRIPTURE THERE. There are there is an angel over Persia.

By the way, he's still there. Michael didn't get rid OF HIM. AND BY GOD, I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.

HE WON'T LEAVE THERE TILL REVELATION 12 WHEN JESUS GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM DOWN TO EARTH. AND HE HAS NO MORE ACCESS TO THE CLOUDS OF GLORY. [applause] God will take care of it in his own time.

>> So, we are in the kingdom. There's a lot of things the kingdom is not. But here's something.

The kingdom is the kingdom of God is not meat and drink. [snorts] It's not rules and regulations. It's not bondage.

It's not having people tell you how to live. It's not being in chains to a church. Hallelujah.

The kingdom of God sets you free. If he sets you free, you are free >> indeed. The kingdom of God is not meat and drink and rules and regulations, BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, and joy in the HOLY SPIRIT.

I GOT THAT this morning. I don't know if you can tell it or not. I may sound like I'm mad about stuff, BUT I'M PRETTY HAPPY ON THE INSIDE THIS MORNING.

CAN I TELL YOU WHY? RIGHTEOUSNESS. Righteousness isn't something I have to do.

Righteousness isn't something I work for. You can't run faster and jump higher and overcome things physically to have THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT AN achievement on your part.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT FROM THE HAND OF JESUS. BECAUSE JESUS WAS RAISED FROM the dead and became righteous BEFORE THE FATHER. HE TURNS AROUND AND HANDS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ME SO THAT WHENEVER I CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD, WHEN I BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, WHEN I REPENT OF MY SINS AND TURN FROM MY WICKED WAYS, GOD THE FATHER SAYS, "GOT A GIFT FOR YOU.

IT'S CALLED RIGHTEOUSNESS. FROM NOW ON, YOU CAN COME AND STAND BEFORE ME WITHOUT FEAR. YOU CAN STAND IN MY PRESENCE WITHOUT BEING ASHAMED.

WHEN YOU STAND THERE, I DON'T SEE YOU. I SEE MY RISEN SON, JESUS CHRIST. AND THAT'S MY GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO YOU.

[applause] PEACE. PEACE. I got peace this morning.

I know it doesn't sound like it. I'm a turbulent kind of guy. You see, I'm a preacher.

I'm a pastor. I'm doing my best to LEAD THIS FLOCK. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET A LITTLE angry about things and you have to be determined and I I'M NOT STANDING UP HERE WALLOWING AROUND AND CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND.

I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED. I know what I'm supposed to preach. And because of all of this, Jesus said, "Joy unspeakable.

MY JOY I GIVE TO YOU." THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE THIS JOY TO YOU. THERE'S NOT A THRILL IN THE WORLD THAT CAN COMPETE WITH THE JOY OF KNOWING THAT YOUR SINS ARE GONE AND YOU GOT A MANSION IN GLORY AND GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY.

[applause] >> OKAY, so I sat down this morning. This is the truth. I wrote this this morning.

It was dark. I went down and I said, "Now, why would I have reason to have joy right now?" NUMBER ONE, I got something to look forward to. >> Every day of my life, I have something to look FORWARD TO.

WHAT DO I have to look forward to today? The rapture of the church. >> Hallelujah.

>> Before I leave this pulpit, a trumpet could sound. A voice COULD SCREAM, A TRUMPET COULD BLOW, AND WE'D BE caught up to meet the Lord in the air. I got something to look forward to.

I get to see Christ one of these days. I get to see mom and dad and ALL THE PEOPLE I GREW UP WITH THAT KNOW HIM. We get to see our loved ones.

I got something to look forward to. I GET A NEW BODY. A BODY THAT DOESN'T HURT, THAT DOESN'T AGE.

A BODY THAT CAN HEAR AND SMELL AND SEE AND WALK THROUGH WALLS. A BODY MADE LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY. >> I GOT SOMETHING to look FORWARD TO.

I GOT BLISS ON MY MIND. Thinking of the day THAT I SEE HIM, THE GLORY OF HEAVEN, a new heaven and a new earth WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS. NO MORE TEARS.

NO MORE SORROW. NO MORE DEATH. NO MORE PAIN.

NO MORE TEMPTATIONS. NO MORE BATTLES. NO MORE DEVIL.

I GOT SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. [applause] HALLELUJAH TO GOD. >> [applause] >> I got a an eternal home in the heavens.

>> 1500 miles wide, long and high. 12 foundations glows like a light bulb. No sin, no sadness up in there.

THAT'S MY NEW HOME. I GET TO RULE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND years and then live with him FOR ETERNITY. I GET TO JUDGE angels one of these days.

I'M GOING TO A CITY NOT MADE WITH HANDS. HALLELUJAH TO GOD. I'LL MEET ABRAHAM.

I'm preaching now. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, NOAH, [laughter] DANIEL, ALL THE PROPHETS, JOHN THE BAPTIST, PAUL, JAMES, JOHN, AND EVERY OTHER NAME THAT STARTS WITH J, PLUS ALL OF THE OTHER ONES. I GOT SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

One of these days, >> he will say, "Well done." Boy, that's something to look forward to, isn't it? Well done, good and faithful servant. You've been faithful over a few things.

Now, I'll make you ruler over many. Listen, enter into the joys >> of your Lord. I got something to look forward to.

Even old Daniel said, "They that are wise will shine like the firmament, and they that bring many to righteousness like the stars of the sky forever and ever." I got something to look forward to. >> Can I get somebody ELSE TO SAY, "I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO." [applause] Stand with me, please. That's some good preaching.

I'm telling you. >> Now, I always have to explain what I just said. It's not good preaching because I preached it.

It's good preaching because it was the word of God. >> Who's ready to go? Hey, Larry.

Come on, guys. We might as well talk. Sing about some joy and them light blue shoes you got on, man.

Cad Gracious.
