do with how this year is gonna turn out
I want that to soak in where you place
your eyes has a lot to do with how this
year is going to turn out if you don’t
change your outlook you are not really
having a new year you are having a
continuation of the OL year I’m gonna be
talking tonight about a new outlook a
new outlook all eyes on him all eyes on
him when you have it’s a man and they
journeyed from the Mount hor by the way
of the Red Sea to compass’ the land of
edom and the soul of the people was much
discouraged because of the way because
of the way the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of how hard it
was to get things done and the people
speak against God and against Moses
wherefore have you brought us out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness there is
no bread neither is there any water and
I’m sick I’m sick I’m sick of this bread
tired of it and the Lord sent fiery
serpents among the people and they bit
the people and much people of Israel
died therefore the people came to Moses
and said we have sinned for we have
spoken against the Lord and against thee
Lord give us more people who were
reprinted we need more people who repent
not people who were sin all over top of
you and never say nothing and never make
it right the people came to Moses and
said we have sinned for we have spoken
against the Lord and against thee pray
unto the Lord that he take away the
Serpent’s from us
and Moses praying for the people who
were talking about him good God of mercy
and the Lord said unto Moses make thee a
fiery Serpent and set it upon a pole and
it shall come to pass that every one
that is bidden when he looketh upon it
shall live good God it took let me say I
want to make sure I got that right it
shall come to pass that every one that
is bitten when he looketh upon it shall
live and Moses made a serpent of brass
and put it upon a pole and it came to
pass that if a serpent had bitten any
man when he beheld the serpent of brass
he lived all eyes on him this is going
to be a profound message
particularly for people who have been
working at a deficit who have
impairments problems situations
complications for people who have been
bitten but refused to be beaten this is
a powerful word for people who didn’t
always get it right
haven’t always handled the right things
in the right way have come up under
attack but you’re still here
this is a turning point word for you
before I release it I want you to
understand that I take tonight seriously
I have come to realize that people come
from everywhere at great expense to set
the tone for their year from this place
so I don’t just throw together anything
I lay before God for weeks to hear from
him I will start something tonight that
I will teach over the next few weeks and
I’m going to teach it because it’s
important because where you place your
eyes has a lot to do with how this year
is going to turn out
I want that to soak in where you place
your eyes has a lot to do with how this
year is going to turn out if you don’t
change your outlook you are not really
having a new year you are having a
continuation of the OL year are you
ready to hear from God father we are in
your house tonight because we put you
first there are a lot of places we could
go there are a lot of places that others
went there are beautiful fireworks and
displays going off in Fort Worth and in
Dallas but we bypass them
all the nightclubs are filled to
capacity but we drove passive because
that’s not really what we wanted the
house parties are running the mug but we
decided not to go because we know that
in order to get where we’re trying to go
we need you to help us get there
I asked you to speak the word with such
clarity and such power today that we are
never the same again and I believe you
for it in Jesus name
somebody shout Amen you may be seated I
want to welcome day start tonight and
the entire day start finally and
DeMarcus and Jody lab we greet it with
love and joy and feast and we’re excited
here at the potter’s house as we’re
going into the Word of God we expect a
miracle in this place we have decided to
turn our gaze from the mundane
ritualistic routines of this world the
commonality of the flesh and that that
breeds carnality breeds contempt and we
have made up our mind and lift up our
eyes to the heels from with come of our
help and we’re focusing on all eyes on
to him say that with me all eyes on him
see that all is an important thing to
consider you cannot have the vision and
have unity we got to all look at the
same thing expect the same thing we got
to start talking the same thing I want
your vision to get in your conversation
in your house you’ve been talking the
wrong talk but things are about to
change
say it with me things are about to
change
you said it like your back hurt and said
things are about to change see the
reason I want to sort of fervor because
you’re gonna make them change you’re not
just gonna watch them change you’re not
just gonna let them change you’re gonna
make up change say things are about to
change I know some of you are scared to
say it because you have been taught to
wait on God but I’m breaking that cycle
because you’re not waiting on God God is
waiting on you
things are about to change Lori that you
think I’m just coming to church to be
coming to church I’m coming to church
because I expect a change in my life I
expect a change in my life and not just
in my circumstances but in me whatever
you need to change in me that’s in the
way of getting a breakthrough I released
you to change it I don’t want to be in
the remedial class of the kingdom of God
I’m ready to accelerate the plan and go
into the advanced class I don’t have
long whatever is going to happen in my
life is going to have to happen fast I
can’t spend 40 years going through
foolishness and stubbornness I don’t
have long I’ve got to get it right this
year anybody else got to get it right
this year I got to get it right this
year I got to get it right this year
when I read the text I was shocked I was
shocked how could these people be angry
with God at the Red Sea how can you walk
past the place God just delivered you
and downed him it’s not just that they
doubted Corian Swire they doubt of it
right in the face of a miracle God had
just brought them through they vomit and
come
these are the same people who danced at
the Red Sea
how can dancers turn to doubters the
same people who grab tambourines and
dance as her greatest enemy was defeated
favorite 600 chosen cherries had been
cast into the Red Sea and while they
were drowning miriam was dancing God had
showed himself strong in their life how
can you go from dancing before God to
damning the God you danced before well
the Bible is clear he says that they
were murmuring and complaining because
of the way he brought them it was tough
the way it was rugged it was rough I
need to apologize on behalf of all of
the preachers of my error who taught you
that if you believe God everything would
be easy that if you really had faith
that this supernatural miracle was going
to happen that required no sweat
they created a spiritual welfare system
this laying that clam it claim it blab
it grab it go get it is yours spread
around one time hop on one foot and
you’re gonna get the new car they told
you about the car but they didn’t tell
you about the payments the way he takes
us believe God for the house law believe
God for the payments you can get the
house
it’s the payments that’s the problem
they complained about the way he took
them it is the way you go beautiful
couple just did a beautiful thing up
here declaring their love one toward
each other but once you get to throwing
and you don’t get to pick the way he
takes you that’s what I hate about it if
I could just pick the way he took me
everything would be alright but I don’t
get to pick the way he takes me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick what I have to suffer I
won’t get to pick my cross I have to
take up a cross
I didn’t pick I don’t like this one give
me the blue one I don’t like the red one
give me the yellow alone you just get
what you got where I must we go through
this way they murmured and complain
against God it hurts when dancing turns
to doubt when the circumstances that you
face have turned you against God I know
they’re tough circumstances but they
were walking by the Red Sea so it’s not
like God didn’t give them evidence of
his power to get you through the
supernatural everybody in here has got
one miracle that made no sense one
miracle where God did something in your
life that you know that had to be the
Lord there was no way you were supposed
to get out of that but God wants you out
of that can I get a witness a real
winner
this place God will let you go through
something with none of your tricks you
remember your scams and none of your
degrees and none of your money and none
of your kid people can get you out and
will see enemies got you all tied up in
knots and it looks like you’ll never get
out God and cut through all of those
ropes and bring you up so that you have
a testimony and he’ll leave it in sight
to remind you that if it had not been
for the Lord that was on your side you
would have been swallowed up how can God
be so good and make such a way and then
we doubt him our doubt bite said him it
bites it him it’s a painful thing to be
doubted your integrity disrespected it
occurred to me that this doubting was
not just about God they had a pathology
of doubted these people had murmured and
complained before they had murmured and
complained against Pharaoh the same
people who murmured and complained
against Pharaoh that got God to come
down and deliver them the first place
now murmur and complain against God now
I can understand you murmuring and
complaining against Pharaoh because
favor was a slave master he was abusive
and he treated you like dirt and he made
you make bricks without straw and he
didn’t feed you and he didn’t care for
you they didn’t love you and he killed
your babies and then God delivered you
from this death mongering man and
brought you out from under his hand and
gave you so much more than you ever had
but when you have a pathology
murmuring and complaining you don’t know
how to be happy I mean these are powder
puff people saying oh you know the wagon
ride was tough I’m getting a callus on
my hips you know the food service was
cold it was late coming out on like this
what are you talking about you were
slaves but what gives us amnesia that we
forget how bad it was before and we fall
back into these patterns these
pathologies of murmuring and complaining
I guess because I’ve counseled people
for 41 years I am aware that if you have
a murmuring individual they won’t be
happy until they find something to
murmur about I don’t care if you put
them in a Taj Mahal they say you don’t
take too long for the water get up in
these big buildings you gotta wait too
long for the water get hot in my whole
house it shows you train these figured
on the way I got a heart
some people don’t find something to
complain about I don’t care what you do
that’s why they’re driving some of the
rest of us crazy because we need their
validation have you ever been working
hard to please somebody that’s never
satisfied
come on were my real people and no
matter what you do it’s never enough
they look past everything you did and
find someone there’s a spot on your
you know I’m human I admit it I confess
sometimes when people disrespect your
best effort it makes you angry when
you’ve done everything you can do for
them and they still complain it makes
you angry
oh that’s a tweetable right there if you
make your love too expensive people
eventually give up they get tired of
working to please you and getting
nothing but complaints in return
this isn’t about God this is about you
now when you complained about favor you
had a right to complain but some people
even if God lit up they would hate him
to show he is hard you’ve been working
in the hot Sun for four hundred years
when you have a pathology of complaining
you are only comfortable when you’re
unhappy you have to give yourself
permission to be happy to say you know
what this is so much better than that
I’m so grateful yes I have to eat the
same thing every day this stuff keeps
dropping down from heaven they called
manna it’s not exactly seasoned the way
I would season it but I’m gonna make it
work for me because I know what it needs
to live in a life where what nothing
drop in my way and now I see something
drop in my way talk to me real people
and I have learned that until you become
grateful you will never become
victorious you have to learn how to be
grateful for where you are I’m all for
being ambitious I’m all for being
aggressive but don’t let your ambition
make you ungrateful it is when you
appreciate where you are that God takes
you to the next level I told a friend of
mine the other day I said I feel funny
giving my testimony sometimes when I
tell people about how I came up and how
they took my car
I had to thumb to church and how I
passed it over ten years and didn’t have
a hundred members and how small and tiny
my church was and how none of the peels
matched and how I was working and pastor
it at the same time working a full-time
job and getting off work and going to
Pastor when I get off work and then look
at me and they feel so sorry for me
but what they don’t understand is that
when I was living like that and going
through that it didn’t look to me like
it sounds because I was so glad that God
had asked me to do anything I was so
excited about that little church I lived
that place up it was a little storefront
and I had a chandelier right in the
middle of it yes I did I was fixing that
thing up had it all fixed up put a
wreath on the door at Christmas time it
was rusty but it was a wreath on the
door glory to God because whatever God
gives you until you appreciate where
you’re at you’re not going to get the
release of what God is about to do in
your life or somebody ought to shout me
down over sob your neighbors say you got
to get grateful one of the things that
God teaches us is how to be grateful
when things and I’ll finish the Bible
says that when God was creating the
heaven on earth and the earth was
without form and void and darkness
covered the face of the need and God
said let there be light and there was
life and then nobody said and it was
good
now the vegetation hadn’t come yet and
as far as hadn’t been placed in place
yet and the cows hadn’t begin to move
yet and the trees hadn’t begin to wave
yet but even though there were still
some muddy stuff all around God said it
was good
God is teaching us how to praise Him
even when things aren’t finished even
when everything’s not laid out even when
things are not in place you got to be
able to have small praise rings and say
I may not be finished yet but I thank
you for a little change in my life I
know you’re waiting on the big testimony
that’s going to tear the church apart
but you got to give him praise for the
little stuff little stuff that don’t
make sense to other people when you’re
fighting your way out you got to get
happy because you got your hair done
well I got my hair done thank you Jesus
I know it sounds silly there’s somebody
else but when you’ve been in a fight
that’s a victory for you you need to
claim your victory there’s a pathology
of murmuring and complaining and
generally we get it from our parents
it’s passed down from the environment we
grow up in if you grow up in a race in a
house with somebody who’s unhappy they
teach you to look at life from an
unhappy perspective and even though you
hate it that when they were there it’s
contagious how many of you I don’t want
to put you on the spot find yourself
acting like your parents in a bad way
certain things that come up with you
then nobody taught you this nobody took
you to school like this but when you get
mad you flip out just like your dad aunt
Helen comes back to life that’s the
pathology that is the pathology that
perverts us and causes us to linger in
the wilderness of our past because we
are still reacting to the way we take in
a spirit of bitterness number two when
they spoke against God they spoke
against
poses generally when you are bitter not
only are you bitter against God but you
become bitter against God’s man that
goes together you can’t hate him and not
hate his representative while he keeps
saying that why he keeps saying ain’t
none to him they murmured and complain
almost every time you see them murmuring
against God the next verse says they
murmured against Moses those things are
connected they are connected because the
enemy wants you to kill off your help so
when he gets to killing out all the
paramedics then he’s gonna let you have
a rank now you can’t call nobody because
you spoke against everybody let me tell
you it’s hard to get your kids to come
to church when you’ve been talking about
the chance folk and now Willie’s on
crack and you need him to come to church
but he doesn’t want to come to church
cuz you killed all your help with your
mouth
a merman and complained against Moses
and against God Moses didn’t do them but
God did God said I’m not taking this he
said I’m not taking this you were in
slavery and cried unto me I pulled you
out I pull you out of jail I pull you
out of hell I pull you out of abusive
relationships I pull you out of things
that had you stayed in you would have
been dead by now
and you sit up here talking about you
don’t have a new car you was locked up
in a cell block you were living in a
house somebody beaten you upside the
head now you talk about your car don’t
have stereo come on we gonna be real
tonight and they murmured against God
because of the way he took them and that
would have been okay if these were kids
born with silver spoons in their mouth
these were folk born in slavery what
happened I had was better than where
[Applause]
when I was driving down the road going
to a little town called Smithers I was
happy going to that little raggedy
church didn’t bother the meathead didn’t
have no heating and I figure when we
went to shop already heat up this is why
I said what you gonna do free he put we
gonna shout when we all get there and go
to shop his going heat up the understand
what I’m talking about
looking back headed it sounds bad but
when I was looking at it it sounded good
cuz I didn’t look at it the way they
looked at it I was looking at it through
the eyes of faith they were looking at
what it is I was looking at what it
could be you need to stop looking at
what it is and look at what it can be
talk to me somebody
slap him and tell him I’m getting ready
to work that day the thing you’ve been
laughing at that thing you’ve been
making fun that thing you said would
never be nothing the thing you said
would never be anybody that person you
know I’m getting ready to walk that path
I only got two fish and five loaves of
bread but I’m getting ready to work that
thing I only got one rock and a rag but
I’m getting ready to work that thing I
only got the job hold up a task but I
[Applause]
I’m not gonna leave whatever I got
behind and say it’s too hard the way is
too hard and God got mad and God got mad
I don’t care who else get mad I don’t
like some God to give my head I don’t
want God to get man I’m still scared of
God I’m scared of what I say thank you
Jesus I get around people sometimes they
get loose and they get to using
profanity and they don’t really bother
me until they use GB or something like
that and when they do that I get real
uncomfortable cuz I figured he don’t
like that and I start moving away from
you so that if he decided to get you he
don’t
me cuz I respect him I respect him I
respect him I yes sir him respect has
gone out of style as well my brother was
nervous he called me Jackson y’all said
Bishop Jake’s he did it because he’s
nervous but some people do it because
they don’t have no respect respect is
going out of style
there I am almost there I am 60 years
old order to be your grandfather and you
calling me TV respect it’s gone out of
style it’s good to have respect it’s
good to have honor I don’t talk to God
just any kind of way I don’t talk to old
folks just any kind of way it don’t hurt
me nothing to respect you you was here
when I was coming that don’t belittle me
to respect the fact that you got here
first if there were no you that be no me
honor thy father and thy mother that
that days may be long and there that
means the reason something dies because
they never honor those that are ahead of
them honoring that mean I always agree
with you it doesn’t mean that you’re
perfect it doesn’t mean that you’re
always right it just means I’m
I’m respected what I’m becoming I
respect age because I’m aging and if I
don’t respect it then I won’t be
respected and they anger God with their
disrespect and he sent serpents to bite
them and they died they died they died
the people he saved died the people he
rescued God the people he brought out
died the people he fought Pharaoh for
died the people that six hundred
chariots ground for died and they died
beside the Red Sea because of their
mouth I bet you at least 50% of the
troubles you have gone through in your
life and come a result of things that
have come out of your mouth when are we
going to learn that once you say
something you can’t take it back when
are we going to learn to shut our mouths
their mouths got them in trouble the
power of life and death is in the tongue
they said things to a God who is a
speaking God their words bit him he bit
him back he said serpents they bid them
and a lot of them died because of their
mouth I want that to sink in we’re
killing our marriages with our mouths
we’re killing our children with our
mouths we kill our ministries with our
mouths we kill our careers with our
mouths we lose our jobs with our mouths
we fall out with people that God sent in
our lives to bless us with our mouths
opens doors that we close with our mouth
if we’re going into 2018 the first thing
say this with me in 2018 I will shut up
in 2018 I won’t say everything I think
in 2018 I will let myself be quiet now
going to shouting over what God is going
to do when you just yeah yeah you’re
gonna cut your enemies in half just by
shutting up God wants to put you in
places that you don’t have to be quiet
when you get there or you’re gonna lose
those opportunities like you lost those
other opportunities I don’t know they
don’t make you shout and I know that
didn’t get you excited but somebody’s
got to tell you the truth some of that
stuff you lost it wasn’t the devil it
was because you couldn’t handle it it
was because you said stuff that change
the way people treated you and now
you’re upset with them like a demon was
fighting you but you have been snared by
the words of your mouth and if you would
shut your mouth then devil wouldn’t have
left in the world where that’s a
shut your mouth shut your mouth 20:18
shut your mouth you won’t see some
things but shut your mouth you I hear
some things which etch your mouth gods
don’t give you some opportunities but
shut your mouth you’re gonna go into
places you’ve never been before but shut
your mouth glory to God he’s gonna put
you in situations that are against what
you’re used to but shut your mouth
I don’t know who I’m talking to but I
feel like I’m talking to somebody some
of your children are not gonna be one
because of what you say they’re gonna be
one because of what you don’t say shut
your mouth if you said it five times
before saying it five times more ain’t
gonna make it work no better shut your
mouth if it’s not working why do we keep
doing it shut your mouth
why do we bark everybody away and then
cry because their God shut your mouth
you’re killing yourself shut your mouth
and so God kill them he killed them
because of their mouth and they died and
there’s nothing I can do about them
because there are some people that won’t
change and they have to die and that’s
hard for me to say that cuz I believe
I’m in the business of changing people
but after 41 years I’ve come to realize
I don’t care what you preach some people
are gonna do what they want to do and
they’re gonna say what they want to say
and they’re gonna die in the wilderness
because they will not shut up but then
there was another group they got bitten
they have biddin they swole up they got
sick they threw up that they weren’t
dead and they went to Moses who they’ve
been talking about and they said I know
I’m in trouble because I spoke against
God and I spoke against you we don’t
have that anymore I told you a few weeks
ago we don’t have revival because we
don’t have repentance you can’t have
revival I don’t care who you bring in to
preach you can’t have revival until you
have repentance when you have done wrong
sometimes you got to go to somewhere
I’ve been running my mouth and I’m sorry
I said some stuff I shouldn’t have said
and I recognize I’m a better person than
that and I want you to forgive me see
what I’m trying to tell you if your
mouth got you in trouble it’s gonna take
your mouth to get you out don’t let your
mouth get so arrogant that you can’t
change
if you bold enough that you just got to
keep it real well keep it real when you
wrong and really bring yourself in here
and really apologize and really get
yourself together now that’s keeping it
real keeping it real don’t work just cuz
you flip out on me keeping it real is
when you flip out on yourself and say I
have been running my mouth and I am
sorry I’m sorry that’s why you’re having
trouble with your children because they
that’s why they won’t apologize to you
because you never modeled it in front of
them they went to Moses and they said
man look we’ve been talking about you
and we’ve been talking about God and the
reason I’m confessing is I’m sick of
getting bitten what’s happening in my
life is a result of how I see my
what’s happening in my life is a result
of how I see my god
how dare me insult the one who delivered
you and all you are guilty of is trying
to pull me through the wilderness and
I’m making it hard to be saved and Moses
now has to pray for people who were
talking about it this is why you got to
be a big person to be a leader you got
to be a big person to be a leader see
because if you’re not careful you’ll get
bitter over what they did to you and
then when it’s time to pray for them
you’ll be sitting by them again lord I
hope they get up again get another foot
fight him in his other foot I hope he
bites you in your eye while you’re
laying down there no coffee here bite
your tongue so you’re choked to death
and die why you know you turn because
you’re human and sometimes you have to
be the bigger person just because you’re
right doesn’t give you the right to be
evil you have to be right enough that
you can help people who got it wrong so
that’s why you get to be Moses because
you’re big enough to let a brother come
back that’s how you get to be Moses and
sometimes you’ll be acting in your Moses
miss and somebody you’re connected to
this talk about Amen the fool out of you
that’s why I hate to fool with you
because you just let people make a fool
of don’t listen at them don’t listen at
them their inability to forgive will
always stop them from being who they
were meant to be the bigger person is
always big enough to forgive and create
opportunities for them to make a
comeback there are gonna be some people
who come back in your life who have done
you wrong get ready for it in 2018
they’re coming back in your life because
they’re in the kind of trouble that only
you
can prey them out of and you’ve got to
be prepared to do what God called you to
do
glory to God you can’t let your feelings
control this conversation you’ve got to
open up your heart and open your spirit
and pray for the very person who tried
to sabotage your life try to wreck your
marriage without to your finances trying
to get your position and now they got
cancer and you got to go in and pray for
them and you gotta mean it with your
brain and every time you do it God’s
gonna make you a bigger man and a bigger
woman and a bigger person and he’s gonna
open up the windows of heaven and you
don’t have more capacity to receive what
he has for you
God’s get ready to enlarge you and
strengthen you and bill your who am i

life and the Lord said this word to you

mighty resurrection going on in this
place and some of the very people that

glory to God just because you’ve been
bitten that mean you’ve been beaten you
may be swollen but you haven’t been
beaten you had some setbacks but you
haven’t been beaten I know the devil’s
been telling you you’ve been beaten but
the devil is alive you have been busy
but you have not been beaten get that
out of your head you are not defeated if
you were defeated you would be dead God
left you here for a reason there’s a
reason the gun didn’t kill you then the
reason the car wreck didn’t kill you the
reason of the disease didn’t kill you
because God’s got something for you to
do my god I feel the anointing of the
Holy Ghost coming in this place
and these have survivors that will
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
I was reading about the earthquake in
Mexico and they thought everybody was
dead but there was some little girl up
underneath all the rocks they kept
making noise saying I’m alive and some
of you have been in the earthquake and
all hell has broken loose and your
[Applause]
the Devon election but I’d alive
he should’ve killed me when he had the
chance but I’m alive
he did me you need to subside give up
idle side give up Lionel craze give a
final shout
[Applause]
so God God tells Moses he says I’m gonna
fix them now this is tough to catch this
I’m gonna fix him but I’m gonna fix them
they got bitten by a serpent and they
this is all the time and scriptures for
anybody God heal by serpent
a servant is a symbol of evil but God
now this is good anytime you heard it
but if you heard this message this
morning then this is even better because
the very thing that bit you that broke
your heart as a child that made you need
more than others that made you more
insecure than other people that made you
more vulnerable than other people the
very thing that bit you
is the very thing that God is going to
use to heal you you remember this
morning when I was talking about your
board members and how you had things
that drove you to do exceptional things
and it wasn’t what you were running to
it was what you were running from yeah
some of you ran to great things because
you were running from horrible things
and the thing that the devil meant for
evil God made it good yeah if you had
not been exposed to that you would not
be as tenacious as you are and so your
ministry is made out of your misery and
the very thing that bit them is the very
thing that God used to cure them and he
said I want you to make a serpent out of
brass and in order to make a serpent out
of brass you had to take brass and beat
it and when he was beating the brass he
was acting out Jesus who was wounded for
our transgressions and was bruised for
our iniquities and was bitten and he
became sin he became sin who knew no sin
the dog became a serpent on the cross
and epitomized everything I did wrong so
that when I looked up at the cross I
would look up at him and find life and
the Bible said even as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness social the
Son of Man be lifted up in the earth in
that same way God will take what was
working against you this is powerful for
where you going in 2018 he will take the
thing that
working against you and use it to work
for you he will use it to work for you
to the point that you’re going to say it
was good for me that I was afflicted if
I had never been afflicted I would have
never seen the glory of God it was good
that it happened to me it was good that
I was afflicted it was good that I was
heard it was good that I was broken it
was good that I lost my job it was good
at then I went through that scandal it
was good that I went through that test
God’s going to take the very thing that
worked to get you and make it work for
you the only thing that he needs from
you is to change your outlook not taste
faint when you’ve been bitten by a
serpent to look to a serpent so when you
change your outlook for 2018 you can’t
trust the emblems of your past to
determine the implement
because God’s going to use the thing
that bit you to bless you when I was on
the front page of the paper in
Charleston it bit me it bit me for a
whole week my house was on the front
page of the paper they talked about me
like I was a dog it bit me they won’t
nigger go home all over my house they
shotgun holes through my church they
tried to scare me out of preaching the
gospel they bit me their ostracize me my
mother couldn’t take her walks my sons
couldn’t go to school it was a dark day
in my life I was bidden the woman who
wrote the first article if I could find
her I’d take her out to the finest
restaurant in Dallas
because she blessed me when she did me
now all of you folks who haven’t been
bidden you don’t have Matt to get happy
about but if you’ve been bitten you
ought to get happy cuz you got a
blessing coming your way

value a stake so big you’ll need two
plates to hold it I’ll treat you like
gold because what you meant to kill me

had

[Applause]
I’m trying to tell you your blessing is
out the way and trying to tell you your
blessing is all the way I’m trying to
tell you your passion is all the way

the same symbol that bit you to bless

the devil can stop telling you what all
