let me tell you something a lot of
people use their work their business
their profession their success a lot of
people use their pursuit of education
their professional students you’ve been
in college for 30 years and you just
keep taking more and more classes and
courses and more and more and more
things or you work overtime under time
side to time around the time a lot of
people are Church addicts every time the
church opens you’re not just a member of
the church you don’t just come to Bible
class you’re in the choir and Usher
board and the praise team and the will
in the fried chicken committee and the
listen to that and the other and let me
tell you something if you succeed in
every area of your life if you succeed
you’ve got the best help you’re in the
best shape you’re the best looking you
have the most formidable personality
you’re successful you’re financially
secure you’re respected every time you
walk them down the street
if you succeed everywhere else and fail
to have peace and joy and love in your
home what does it profit you to have all
of this stuff on the outside and have no
place to lay your head to rest your mind
to know that this is solid and this
won’t shake and this won’t break it is
very very important to you foxes
whenever they sense danger or trouble or
become weary they always go running into
their homes that is the safe place
that’s a secure place he’s grounded
there whatever is gonna come I’m gonna
deal with it cuz I’m in a place of
grounded you understand when I say birds
of the air have nests they say I know
there’s a lot of things that want to
devour me to want to get me but if I
could link it to this nest I can get in
this place where it is difficult to get
me if my nest is solid if it’s secure
and I
to build this mess I had to work on this
nest so all of you who say you don’t
understand my situation you don’t
understand my house you don’t understand
what I’ve been through
you’ll understand my circuit says no you
don’t understand that nests must be
built from broken branches if you can
build a whole nest from broken branches
you can real a whole house with broken
people but it’s got to be built the
problem today is we want prefab houses
it’s easier to go get somebody else’s
husband than it is to develop nobody
wants to do the work of building the kid
they want to scream at the child they
want to beat the child they want to yell
at the child but the child isn’t has
learned a lot of that behavior from what
was modeled in front of them and you
have to get down on the ground level
wherever they are even if it’s a
juvenile detention center you got to go
where they are and start building that
child block by block by block while
people are talking about you
while they’re criticized of you while
they’re saying where is your garden I
thought you were Christian you don’t
have time to worry about what people
think on the outside because his family
thing is too important for me to be
yelling back at my neighbors I’m trying
to build something out of these broken
pieces that God has given me Oh Gloria
where my parents said bill that child
what good is it to build a house if you
lose the child build the child the child
will outlast the house bill the child
the tower will take care of you when
you’re all bill the child I know that
broken I know the crazy I’ve only got
over givers I know they crushed you out
I know you feel like rock dig dig dig
dig there but when you get the feeling
like that get down on the floor and
start building God’s child because you
can’t have a mess if you can’t work with
broken branches broken husbands broken
wives everything in your house is
cracked somewhere
[Applause]
everything cracked somewhere look around
this room right now look around this
room look at how handsome a good-looking
and attractive these people are in this
room don’t they look good dressed up got
the hair done look at the nails they’ve
all shined up pointing at you ain’t that
nice smell like a rhododendron just
wonderful glory to God in there
wonderful just to end everything you see
is quite somewhere
and the only reason you don’t know it is
because you haven’t got close enough to
see where the cracks are these three
areas bill that which is broken down you
got to have economic support you got a
heavy economic support I know you all
think that once you’re Christian all you
have to do is speak in tongues and wait
on Jesus the Jesus bus is gonna come get
you and take you to be with Jesus but
while you’re waiting at the bus you’re
gonna get hungry when I got ready to
talk to my wife about life insured said
I don’t talk about that I don’t even
want to talk about I don’t wanna have
another discussion with you about that
so yeah we’re gonna have to discuss
about it she said I’m who you don’t
leave me too because I don’t care I’m
gonna be crazy I said you’re gonna be
crying and you’re gonna be Holland and
you’re gonna be screaming but you’ll
have to go to the bathroom so you either
need toilet paper
you go get thirsty so he’s gonna need
water sooner or later you won’t get
hungry so you’re gonna need food and if
we don’t have no gas or you’re not gonna
be able II have never seen anybody so
grieved that they didn’t go to the
bathroom and eat and live and grieve and
it’s gonna bring you back to reality you
need stuff you need stuff you can’t pray
away your need for stuff you cannot put
you cannot fix a physical problem with a
spiritual solution
I want to go to the techs they’re having
a discussion in the text about if he
first Timothy five seven if any provide
not for his own house for his own and
specially for those of his own house he
hath denied the faith he has to not
faith if you don’t take care of what’s
yours you have denied the faith and it’s
worse than an infidel when you look up
the word infidel you will find that it
means unbeliever
but if you dig deeper you will find it
is not just an unbeliever who could have
never been exposed to the gospel it’s
somebody who’s been exposed to it and
rejected it let that sink in somebody
has been exposed to it and rejected it
is called an infidel you’ll notice in
the conflict with Isis and terrorists
they refer to us as infidels because the
purest form of the word infidel is that
you have rejected the truth in the Bible
when they call somebody an infidel it is
that you had an opportunity and rejected
it in the text is talking about taking
care of widows and it says if the widow
has a family if they don’t take care of
their old mama
grandmama auntie Big Mama Madea you are
worse than an infidel we’re sending an
infidel if you don’t take care of your
own you birds take care of their own
monkeys take care of their own frogs
take care of and you don’t want better
old like you don’t know and say you love
Jesus I’d rather see some Holy Ghost
fried chicken and making some chicken
noodle soup then I would I’m a
prophetess you’ve got a proper clean
this house and go home and see about
the Bible said you are worse than an
infidel if you will take care of your
own house if you’re able to some people
aren’t able you know heavy you can’t do
it but to some degree you do something
you’d sweep what’s this an infidel is
somebody who had an opportunity to
receive truth and rejected it an infidel
the Bible says you are worse than an
infidel if you don’t provide for your
house all right God said you had the
opportunity to make that house work but
you starved it you’re worse than an
infidel because you were exposed to
something that you rejected though you
stayed in the house infidel some I say
root word infidel primary meaning you
rejected an opportunity you know how you
rejected an opportunity because you felt
like you were rejected
you know why you felt like you were
rejected because she didn’t get the
signal how do you break the infidel
infidelity when we start having real
conversations about expectations and
responsibilities mutually and you live
up to yours and I live up to mine then
there’s not abandonment and if we’re not
abandoned then we don’t have to fake
like we love each other which creates
so I will stop paying you money to let
me go live I will start investing
because I will no longer define myself
just to cover to the potter’s house it
was so long so a lot of times we give
you stuff to replace us
you don’t gotta fill in this room let me
some tea what I feel in his room I fill
in this room there are a lot of people
in this room who have abandoned kids cuz
they hurt you parents cuz they
disappointed you spouses cuz they didn’t
get the signal I feel in this room a lot
of people who are still there but not
there and so you’re living your life
like it’s golden it might be golden but
it’s not grounded
and anything that’s not grounded can
blow away it can blow away and it’s
expensive to lose emotionally mentally
it’s expensive generationally I’m not
saying you can’t survive it I’m not
saying you can’t make it on here you
cannot say anything there I’m not saying
you can’t pay your own bill I’m not
saying you can’t take care of yourself
you can do it but there will be a
once I start showing of miracles they’re
gonna be drawn to my season of miracles
people are drawn to your season of
miracles you love your season of
miracles you can make it happen
love your season of miracles you did
your thing on the football field love
your season of miracles people are drawn
to your season of miracles when you’re
in your heyday when you’re doing the up
thing people of any kind always comes by
hearing you didn’t believe you were dumb
till you heard you were dumb you didn’t
believe you couldn’t learn to your hurts
of my sin you could learn you didn’t
believe you are attractive – you heard
somebody say your unbelief is a result
of something you heard about yourself
that you believed about yourself and
your life has fulfilled the prophecy you
heard about yourself you’re crazy like
your daddy
you’re just like your mammy
all of these are Persis they may not be
cussing but they’re cursus that were
pronounced over you that said you
couldn’t do this or that or the other
and the more you heard it and rehearsed
it and even argued about it and said you
didn’t believe it
every time you face a challenge tell me
the truth don’t those voices come back
up every time you hit a low place don’t
boast voices come back up again every
time things go wrong don’t boast voices
come back you have never changed your
belief and you will never completely be
healed or whole until you change the
voice inside of your own hand and nobody
no body can do this but you
new friends can’t do it loo clothes
can’t do it more money can’t do it more
women can’t do it more sex can’t do it
they can camouflage it but they can’t
kill it because you are slurred by the
words of your own mouth you can’t get
enough people to tell you you were
pretty when you think you’re ugly that’s
why you keep needing some more until you
your opportunities will continue to him
reach like the woman with the issue of
blood her issues were killing her 12
years her issues were killing her 12
years the life’s blood was hemorrhaging
out of her it was coming out of her Lord
extremities but it was coming from her
loud on your digits there
it is coming out of her lower
extremities but it is coming from her
mouth can you prove it yes I can what
heal her did not come from her lower
extremities
what healed her came out of her mouth
see until she met Jesus all she believed
about herself was an undying I’m dying
and dying and die and so her money died
cuz she was dying for relationships died
because she was bad her heart was broken
cuz she was guy she couldn’t have
relationships she was dying she had
spent all of her money because she was
dying until she met Jesus where she met
Jesus he changed the story she told
herself
[Applause]
one touch His garment
if I’m able touch the hem of His garment
see they’ve him said to anybody it was
what she said to herself not if you read
it in the original language but it says
he said to herself it says she said
repeatedly to herself over and over and
over again because when you’re trying to
drive out stinking vision you have to
say it over
[Applause]
am i helping anybody
so she says it’s not like that touch the
hem of his garment
I’ll be late home she took him out said
if I’m able touch the hem of his garment
I’ll be made a whole sheet really if I
may even touch the hem of his garment
I’ll be made whole it’s how may the
touch the hem of His garment I’ll be my
favorite touch the hem of His garment
away it’s happening with touch the hem
of His garment I will be if I may be
touched
[Applause]
talk to your childhood to your
deliverer talk to your crisis say just
now I don’t care how intellectual how
refined how conservative how prolific
you are as an individual all of us must
be honest and admit that there are some
times that we have gotten into things by
our own devices and you look back as you
mature at what you did yesterday and say
what was I what was I thinking what was
I thinking to make the choice that I
made at the time that I made it in fact
I would submit for your consideration
that some of the wisdom that we exposed
now is a result of the tragedies and the
crazy choices that we made yesterday
doing stupid things eventually should
make you smart it’s the same to keep
making you crazy choices over and over
again and never develop as an individual
people who catch you at one season in
your life think that you are so wise and
so stable and so profound but they miss
the beginning of the movie when you were
doing all the crazy things that brought
you to the place of having wisdom and we
have selected at leisure we never tell
them how stupid we were yesterday before
we came into the realm that we are all
y’all are going to talk to me tell my
said daddy’s home
crazy choices some of them you can cover
and some of them you can uncover some of
them you can fix and some of them you
cannot fix there are crazy choices that
some of us have done that nobody knows
that we’ve done and we have the luxury
of acting as if we have never done some
of the things that we have done always
quiet
it’s quiet already going down and you
are harping at your children to make
better choices
because they don’t know that with you
were there AG V is something even
crazier than baby and I’m just talking
I’m not talking about you I’m talking
about though I’m gonna talk about you
I’m talking about crazy choices raise
the reason I take this on is because a
lot of my future can be fixed if I make
better choices where I am right now I
can save myself some tears some
sleepless nights some moments of
controversy and spiritual fatigue if I
would just smoggy
up and stop making crazy choices the
church we choose the house we choose the
jobs we choose the degrees we chose the
subjects that we took the books that we
read the people that we be friends the
choices that we made determine to a
large degree the experiences that we’re
having in life if you make better
choices you could be happy if you made
better choices you can have peace of
mind inside even if you chose to think
differently than you think you can have
peace of mind
most of us torment ourselves by choosing
to reflect on things we cannot fix we
cannot change
we cannot alter and we cannot move and
you are the author of your own misery
because of the choices so the Bible said
whatever things are lovely and pure
choose to think about that rather than
to be sitting up at three o’clock in the
morning choosing the worry about
have you ever had a talk with yourself
and you say to yourself self when you
gonna grow up let me talk to the fellow
sweater boys there have you ever had a
talk with yourself while you’re shaving
in the morning and saying you too old
for this it’s only make no sense it’s
time for you to grow out of this crazy
talking to you sir sometimes you have to
jack yourself up and wait a minute I
cannot afford to make another
[Applause]
I will talk to some people who are out
of belches and you cannot afford to make
another crazy choice and too old so I
don’t have time for I don’t have the
strength to rebound from it Lord deliver
me from crazy in the backdrop of the
potter’s field that the disciples are
apostles are called like their first
sorcerer I wrote down a few things that
they should have learned from apostle
Judas they should have helped them with
this choice you’re about to make number
one these might help you to number one
is be careful who you bring on your team
[Applause]
we have to deal with all types of people
in life but you don’t have to put them
on your team I see you have to deal with
all kinds of people in your life but you
don’t have to put them on your team
don’t select your own sorrow’ how could
you look at Judas guts being poured out
and not be customary and concerned about
who you bring on your team so number one
is be careful who you bring on your team
number two
purpose Trump’s prophet purpose Trump’s
prophet you don’t always make a decision
by the bottom line sometimes you have to
do things just because they’re rights
sometimes light doesn’t look profitable
in the short term but right will pay you
back with interest if you hold on
purpose Trump’s profit every time I’ve
watched it for years
guys who snatched after profit end up
being nothing but if you search out the
purpose prophet will snatch up to you
purpose Trump’s profit number three pray
who told in the castle ops you praying
over depression but you need to pray
over the process I have problems with
this process you just got it down with
the Holy Spirit and now you’re playing
with sticks to choose who’s gonna be the
next apostle I have problems wishes
problem with the process why did you
pick two people and did pray and say God
these are two choices which one do you
want considered that God might you
somebody that you didn’t select I have
problems with the process number four
don’t limit God’s choices to your ideas
he may be thinking something bigger than
you that’s why he gets the big office
with the view cuz he’s a little bit
smarter than you and don’t limit God
down to your choices because he may have
a plan that you never thought of and
just because you’re in a jam and you
feel hard-pressed to fill a slot don’t
just snatch anybody to feel the slot
because sometimes God’s presence is in
the gap in your life it’s in the void in
your life God shows up not in what is
there but in what is not there by him
all things consist he feels all space he
stands in the God he makes up the hedge
he feels up the void and sometimes you
got to be comfortable with the empty sea
whoo y’all don’t want to talk to me I
said sometimes you’ve got to be
comfortable with an empty seat or table
or bed or a job for they that wait upon
the Lord keep the seat empty keep the
bed empty keep the parking lot empty
keep the office empty sometimes you just
got to wait on it
you got to suffer through it you got to
cry yourself to sleep and say I’m gonna
hold out until God shows me
[Applause]
my god I feel like something’s about to
happen in this place I feel like
something’s about to happen in this
place
lord have mercy and the people who rush
into crazy choices because we cannot
stand to have an empty seat when an
empty seat is far better than the wrong
person I think i’ma shut up mouth all
preaching on there sometimes you have to
learn how to be lonely you have to take
the class of loneliness rather than to
fill the seat with misery wonder am I
what am i making crazy truth am i bad am
i bad person or am I just making bad
is this kid I’m raising the crazy child
manipulating things controlling people’s
lives you go over here and you go over
there love you don’t know you’re not
gonna marry him and you can’t do that to
give and who are you to know what ought
to be happening in my life how did you
get to switch everything around with
your crazy self you’re trying to tell me
where I ought to be who are the married
where I oughta work where I ought to
manipulation leads to misery it made I
feel like I’m talking to somebody it
make it may seem crazy but I’m gonna
work that thing in your life it may seem
crazy but I am going to accomplish my
purpose in your life it may seem crazy
what I’m getting ready to do in your
life may be antithetical to everything
that you have thought I’m prepared to do
it may seem crazy
I chose somebody that never crossed your
the things I worked the hardest or
brought the least
results and then when I got tired of my
face I just happen to be at the right
place at the right time to meet the
right can I get a witness somewhere slap
your name and tell them it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be crazy it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be crazy how he’s gonna
bless you it’s gonna be crazy how he’s
gonna move it’s gonna be crazy how he’s
gonna fix it it’s gonna be crazy
he’s gonna resolve it it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be so crazy that when
God does it you’re gonna be scared of it
I don’t know but the Lord told me to
tell you don’t be scared of it it’s the
you come the blessing you come the
blessing you come the blessing you’ve
been trained on these days here come the
blessing
here come the blessing the blesser will
you come to blessing here come to
blessing here come to bless what do you
see I see a cloud the size of a man’s
head that’s crazy
it may be crazy but an abundance of rain
unexpected blessings come from
unexpected places
crazy blessings come from crazy places
the stone that the builders reject
becomes the chief Cornerstone if you
haven’t been rejected you can’t be
selected
I tried to tell God 40 years ago let me
say 42 when we had the conversation I
told him you can’t call me the priest
this is not gonna work nobody gonna
believe that you called Tommy takes to
preach they don’t even like me they
don’t like me Jesus you should call one
of them good people you know one of them
holier than thou self-righteous got it
going on got Jesus coming out of their
eyeballs people you shouldn’t call
somebody like me I’m crazy Wow I’m
radical I’m different I don’t fit it in
I don’t see how I don’t see how in the
world that you could use a guy like me
besides Lord I don’t know nobody I came
from nowhere I got saved in a storefront
in the hills of West Virginia how in the
world could you use a little old country
boy from a little country church from a
little old country state God said I know
you’re my crazy choice let me tell you
something there are some people in here
right now the day that if you knew their
whole story you would have never been it
on them being where they are but in
spite of how crazy it might look to
somebody else tell your neighbor is
crazy but I’m here
[Applause]
it’s crazy
but I made it is crazy but I survived it
is crazy but God brought me out I want
to preach to my haters I’m a teacher I
get it it don’t make sense
it don’t look right and should not
happen but in spite of how crazy it is
He blessed me anyway
I understand why you I am a crazy choice
but when I think of the goodness when I
I’m almost finished but I want some
people then everybody better gets said
you would never make it said you would
never survive but God chose you anyway
give God a praise
yes
[Applause]
[Music]
I couldn’t see how many people were
praising God
but whoever you are if you are a crazy
choice did you on expect a crazy
a crazy blessing is a blessing that
blows your mind that makes no sense that
comes out of nowhere that slaps you
upside the head
crazy choices produce crazy blessings
and today is the day today is the day
that you stop being a friend of the
crazy opportunities that God brings in
your life out of the crazy things he
tells you to say to people that you
think it will not work out of the crazy
door said he calls you to step into that
you feel intimidated from I want you to
understand that you are God’s crazy
everything that made sense to you fell
you remember how sure you were about to
access you remember nobody could tell
you nothing you remember how you start
something we’ve now got area you’ve got
you’ve got companies in areas that you
didn’t have the expertise you got doors
open to you that make no sense in the
reason your haters hate you is that they
they made more sense but God gave it to
you
and since you are crazy choice and you
will walk in crazy blessings you got to
become comfortable with your craziness
because every night me and God’s gonna
be something for you that you cannot
explain that you didn’t see coming that
you never thought would happen at this
age or stage or season in your life
every now and then everything that you
had set up is gonna fall apart so that
something that you never saw coming
could fall into place every now and then
I don’t know who I’m talking to but
every now and then God is going to bring
you into a strange season of
supernatural blessings and it’s gonna be
so crazy that you don’t even have
anybody to talk to about it
every now and then God is gonna pour you
out a blessing that when he does you
gonna be scared to receive it and the
Holy Spirit is gonna have to give you
the sign to go ahead and open your door
and let the blessing come in every now
and then God’s gonna prepare a table
before you in the presence of your
enemies and you will say how can I eat
around my enemies and gods don’t say
it’s your enemies that made me prepare
the table in the first place
I guess what I came from California to
tell you and I want you to hear this my
sons and daughters I came from the west
coast to Texas
don’t steer
with what you plan didn’t work out don’t
be scared when things didn’t fall into
place like he wanted them to you don’t
be scared to leave a seat empty don’t be
scared
to have God brings somebody that you
never expected that you never saw coming
don’t be scared when he moves you into
positions for which you have no
experience don’t be scared when he
don’t be scared when God tells you that
what he has planned for you is better
and don’t you dare be scared when the
people in the circle he takes you into
don’t accept you because you are not one
of them don’t need their endorsement to
validate God’s appointment
I feel glory I feel a release coming
from the presence of the Lord
you’d be surprised with the people that
Miss God because God’s choices look
they keep manipulating their own life
because what God has in store for you
Dallas was never my dream city when I
lived in West Virginia was Atlanta I
thought sure if God would ever send me
anywhere it would be to Atlanta I never
when he did it it was crazy I moved into
a city that was so unfamiliar
I got lost every Sunday morning driving
to my old church not used to the crazy
traffic in the crazy city that I didn’t
ask for more people join the first
Sunday than they did the 20 years that
preceded it don’t you tell me that God
won’t restore unto you everything that
you lost gotta stop I feel something so
strong I can’t even I can’t even preach
it out all I can tell you whoever you

around it’s gonna be crazy how he heals

courses and more and more and more
things or you work overtime under time
side to time around the time a lot of
people are Church addicts every time the
church opens you’re not just a member of
the church you don’t just come to Bible
class you’re in the choir and Usher
board and the praise team and the will
in the fried chicken committee and the
listen to that and the other and let me
tell you something if you succeed in
every area of your life if you succeed
you’ve got the best help you’re in the
best shape you’re the best looking you
have the most formidable personality
you’re successful you’re financially
secure you’re respected every time you
walk them down the street
if you succeed everywhere else and fail
to have peace and joy and love in your
home what does it profit you to have all
of this stuff on the outside and have no
place to lay your head to rest your mind
to know that this is solid and this
won’t shake and this won’t break it is
very very important to you foxes
whenever they sense danger or trouble or
become weary they always go running into
their homes that is the safe place
that’s a secure place he’s grounded
there whatever is gonna come I’m gonna
deal with it cuz I’m in a place of
grounded you understand when I say birds
of the air have nests they say I know
there’s a lot of things that want to
devour me to want to get me but if I
could link it to this nest I can get in
this place where it is difficult to get
me if my nest is solid if it’s secure
and I
to build this mess I had to work on this
nest so all of you who say you don’t
understand my situation you don’t
understand my house you don’t understand
what I’ve been through
you’ll understand my circuit says no you
don’t understand that nests must be
built from broken branches if you can
build a whole nest from broken branches
you can real a whole house with broken
people but it’s got to be built the
problem today is we want prefab houses
it’s easier to go get somebody else’s
husband than it is to develop nobody
wants to do the work of building the kid
they want to scream at the child they
want to beat the child they want to yell
at the child but the child isn’t has
learned a lot of that behavior from what
was modeled in front of them and you
have to get down on the ground level
wherever they are even if it’s a
juvenile detention center you got to go
where they are and start building that
child block by block by block while
people are talking about you
while they’re criticized of you while
they’re saying where is your garden I
thought you were Christian you don’t
have time to worry about what people
think on the outside because his family
thing is too important for me to be
yelling back at my neighbors I’m trying
to build something out of these broken
pieces that God has given me Oh Gloria
where my parents said bill that child
what good is it to build a house if you
lose the child build the child the child
will outlast the house bill the child
the tower will take care of you when
you’re all bill the child I know that
broken I know the crazy I’ve only got
over givers I know they crushed you out
I know you feel like rock dig dig dig
dig there but when you get the feeling
like that get down on the floor and
start building God’s child because you
can’t have a mess if you can’t work with
broken branches broken husbands broken
wives everything in your house is
cracked somewhere
[Applause]
everything cracked somewhere look around
this room right now look around this
room look at how handsome a good-looking
and attractive these people are in this
room don’t they look good dressed up got
the hair done look at the nails they’ve
all shined up pointing at you ain’t that
nice smell like a rhododendron just
wonderful glory to God in there
wonderful just to end everything you see
is quite somewhere
and the only reason you don’t know it is
because you haven’t got close enough to
see where the cracks are these three
areas bill that which is broken down you
got to have economic support you got a
heavy economic support I know you all
think that once you’re Christian all you
have to do is speak in tongues and wait
on Jesus the Jesus bus is gonna come get
you and take you to be with Jesus but
while you’re waiting at the bus you’re
gonna get hungry when I got ready to
talk to my wife about life insured said
I don’t talk about that I don’t even
want to talk about I don’t wanna have
another discussion with you about that
so yeah we’re gonna have to discuss
about it she said I’m who you don’t
leave me too because I don’t care I’m
gonna be crazy I said you’re gonna be
crying and you’re gonna be Holland and
you’re gonna be screaming but you’ll
have to go to the bathroom so you either
need toilet paper
you go get thirsty so he’s gonna need
water sooner or later you won’t get
hungry so you’re gonna need food and if
we don’t have no gas or you’re not gonna
be able II have never seen anybody so
grieved that they didn’t go to the
bathroom and eat and live and grieve and
it’s gonna bring you back to reality you
need stuff you need stuff you can’t pray
away your need for stuff you cannot put
you cannot fix a physical problem with a
spiritual solution
I want to go to the techs they’re having
a discussion in the text about if he
first Timothy five seven if any provide
not for his own house for his own and
specially for those of his own house he
hath denied the faith he has to not
faith if you don’t take care of what’s
yours you have denied the faith and it’s
worse than an infidel when you look up
the word infidel you will find that it
means unbeliever
but if you dig deeper you will find it
is not just an unbeliever who could have
never been exposed to the gospel it’s
somebody who’s been exposed to it and
rejected it let that sink in somebody
has been exposed to it and rejected it
is called an infidel you’ll notice in
the conflict with Isis and terrorists
they refer to us as infidels because the
purest form of the word infidel is that
you have rejected the truth in the Bible
when they call somebody an infidel it is
that you had an opportunity and rejected
it in the text is talking about taking
care of widows and it says if the widow
has a family if they don’t take care of
their old mama
grandmama auntie Big Mama Madea you are
worse than an infidel we’re sending an
infidel if you don’t take care of your
own you birds take care of their own
monkeys take care of their own frogs
take care of and you don’t want better
old like you don’t know and say you love
Jesus I’d rather see some Holy Ghost
fried chicken and making some chicken
noodle soup then I would I’m a
prophetess you’ve got a proper clean
this house and go home and see about
the Bible said you are worse than an
infidel if you will take care of your
own house if you’re able to some people
aren’t able you know heavy you can’t do
it but to some degree you do something
you’d sweep what’s this an infidel is
somebody who had an opportunity to
receive truth and rejected it an infidel
the Bible says you are worse than an
infidel if you don’t provide for your
house all right God said you had the
opportunity to make that house work but
you starved it you’re worse than an
infidel because you were exposed to
something that you rejected though you
stayed in the house infidel some I say
root word infidel primary meaning you
rejected an opportunity you know how you
rejected an opportunity because you felt
like you were rejected
you know why you felt like you were
rejected because she didn’t get the
signal how do you break the infidel
infidelity when we start having real
conversations about expectations and
responsibilities mutually and you live
up to yours and I live up to mine then
there’s not abandonment and if we’re not
abandoned then we don’t have to fake
like we love each other which creates
so I will stop paying you money to let
me go live I will start investing
because I will no longer define myself
just to cover to the potter’s house it
was so long so a lot of times we give
you stuff to replace us
you don’t gotta fill in this room let me
some tea what I feel in his room I fill
in this room there are a lot of people
in this room who have abandoned kids cuz
they hurt you parents cuz they
disappointed you spouses cuz they didn’t
get the signal I feel in this room a lot
of people who are still there but not
there and so you’re living your life
like it’s golden it might be golden but
it’s not grounded
and anything that’s not grounded can
blow away it can blow away and it’s
expensive to lose emotionally mentally
it’s expensive generationally I’m not
saying you can’t survive it I’m not
saying you can’t make it on here you
cannot say anything there I’m not saying
you can’t pay your own bill I’m not
saying you can’t take care of yourself
you can do it but there will be a
once I start showing of miracles they’re
gonna be drawn to my season of miracles
people are drawn to your season of
miracles you love your season of
miracles you can make it happen
love your season of miracles you did
your thing on the football field love
your season of miracles people are drawn
to your season of miracles when you’re
in your heyday when you’re doing the up
thing people of any kind always comes by
hearing you didn’t believe you were dumb
till you heard you were dumb you didn’t
believe you couldn’t learn to your hurts
of my sin you could learn you didn’t
believe you are attractive – you heard
somebody say your unbelief is a result
of something you heard about yourself
that you believed about yourself and
your life has fulfilled the prophecy you
heard about yourself you’re crazy like
your daddy
you’re just like your mammy
all of these are Persis they may not be
cussing but they’re cursus that were
pronounced over you that said you
couldn’t do this or that or the other
and the more you heard it and rehearsed
it and even argued about it and said you
didn’t believe it
every time you face a challenge tell me
the truth don’t those voices come back
up every time you hit a low place don’t
boast voices come back up again every
time things go wrong don’t boast voices
come back you have never changed your
belief and you will never completely be
healed or whole until you change the
voice inside of your own hand and nobody
no body can do this but you
new friends can’t do it loo clothes
can’t do it more money can’t do it more
women can’t do it more sex can’t do it
they can camouflage it but they can’t
kill it because you are slurred by the
words of your own mouth you can’t get
enough people to tell you you were
pretty when you think you’re ugly that’s
why you keep needing some more until you
your opportunities will continue to him
reach like the woman with the issue of
blood her issues were killing her 12
years her issues were killing her 12
years the life’s blood was hemorrhaging
out of her it was coming out of her Lord
extremities but it was coming from her
loud on your digits there
it is coming out of her lower
extremities but it is coming from her
mouth can you prove it yes I can what
heal her did not come from her lower
extremities
what healed her came out of her mouth
see until she met Jesus all she believed
about herself was an undying I’m dying
and dying and die and so her money died
cuz she was dying for relationships died
because she was bad her heart was broken
cuz she was guy she couldn’t have
relationships she was dying she had
spent all of her money because she was
dying until she met Jesus where she met
Jesus he changed the story she told
herself
[Applause]
one touch His garment
if I’m able touch the hem of His garment
see they’ve him said to anybody it was
what she said to herself not if you read
it in the original language but it says
he said to herself it says she said
repeatedly to herself over and over and
over again because when you’re trying to
drive out stinking vision you have to
say it over
[Applause]
am i helping anybody
so she says it’s not like that touch the
hem of his garment
I’ll be late home she took him out said
if I’m able touch the hem of his garment
I’ll be made a whole sheet really if I
may even touch the hem of his garment
I’ll be made whole it’s how may the
touch the hem of His garment I’ll be my
favorite touch the hem of His garment
away it’s happening with touch the hem
of His garment I will be if I may be
touched
[Applause]
talk to your childhood to your
deliverer talk to your crisis say just
now I don’t care how intellectual how
refined how conservative how prolific
you are as an individual all of us must
be honest and admit that there are some
times that we have gotten into things by
our own devices and you look back as you
mature at what you did yesterday and say
what was I what was I thinking what was
I thinking to make the choice that I
made at the time that I made it in fact
I would submit for your consideration
that some of the wisdom that we exposed
now is a result of the tragedies and the
crazy choices that we made yesterday
doing stupid things eventually should
make you smart it’s the same to keep
making you crazy choices over and over
again and never develop as an individual
people who catch you at one season in
your life think that you are so wise and
so stable and so profound but they miss
the beginning of the movie when you were
doing all the crazy things that brought
you to the place of having wisdom and we
have selected at leisure we never tell
them how stupid we were yesterday before
we came into the realm that we are all
y’all are going to talk to me tell my
said daddy’s home
crazy choices some of them you can cover
and some of them you can uncover some of
them you can fix and some of them you
cannot fix there are crazy choices that
some of us have done that nobody knows
that we’ve done and we have the luxury
of acting as if we have never done some
of the things that we have done always
quiet
it’s quiet already going down and you
are harping at your children to make
better choices
because they don’t know that with you
were there AG V is something even
crazier than baby and I’m just talking
I’m not talking about you I’m talking
about though I’m gonna talk about you
I’m talking about crazy choices raise
the reason I take this on is because a
lot of my future can be fixed if I make
better choices where I am right now I
can save myself some tears some
sleepless nights some moments of
controversy and spiritual fatigue if I
would just smoggy
up and stop making crazy choices the
church we choose the house we choose the
jobs we choose the degrees we chose the
subjects that we took the books that we
read the people that we be friends the
choices that we made determine to a
large degree the experiences that we’re
having in life if you make better
choices you could be happy if you made
better choices you can have peace of
mind inside even if you chose to think
differently than you think you can have
peace of mind
most of us torment ourselves by choosing
to reflect on things we cannot fix we
cannot change
we cannot alter and we cannot move and
you are the author of your own misery
because of the choices so the Bible said
whatever things are lovely and pure
choose to think about that rather than
to be sitting up at three o’clock in the
morning choosing the worry about
have you ever had a talk with yourself
and you say to yourself self when you
gonna grow up let me talk to the fellow
sweater boys there have you ever had a
talk with yourself while you’re shaving
in the morning and saying you too old
for this it’s only make no sense it’s
time for you to grow out of this crazy
talking to you sir sometimes you have to
jack yourself up and wait a minute I
cannot afford to make another
[Applause]
I will talk to some people who are out
of belches and you cannot afford to make
another crazy choice and too old so I
don’t have time for I don’t have the
strength to rebound from it Lord deliver
me from crazy in the backdrop of the
potter’s field that the disciples are
apostles are called like their first
sorcerer I wrote down a few things that
they should have learned from apostle
Judas they should have helped them with
this choice you’re about to make number
one these might help you to number one
is be careful who you bring on your team
[Applause]
we have to deal with all types of people
in life but you don’t have to put them
on your team I see you have to deal with
all kinds of people in your life but you
don’t have to put them on your team
don’t select your own sorrow’ how could
you look at Judas guts being poured out
and not be customary and concerned about
who you bring on your team so number one
is be careful who you bring on your team
number two
purpose Trump’s prophet purpose Trump’s
prophet you don’t always make a decision
by the bottom line sometimes you have to
do things just because they’re rights
sometimes light doesn’t look profitable
in the short term but right will pay you
back with interest if you hold on
purpose Trump’s profit every time I’ve
watched it for years
guys who snatched after profit end up
being nothing but if you search out the
purpose prophet will snatch up to you
purpose Trump’s profit number three pray
who told in the castle ops you praying
over depression but you need to pray
over the process I have problems with
this process you just got it down with
the Holy Spirit and now you’re playing
with sticks to choose who’s gonna be the
next apostle I have problems wishes
problem with the process why did you
pick two people and did pray and say God
these are two choices which one do you
want considered that God might you
somebody that you didn’t select I have
problems with the process number four
don’t limit God’s choices to your ideas
he may be thinking something bigger than
you that’s why he gets the big office
with the view cuz he’s a little bit
smarter than you and don’t limit God
down to your choices because he may have
a plan that you never thought of and
just because you’re in a jam and you
feel hard-pressed to fill a slot don’t
just snatch anybody to feel the slot
because sometimes God’s presence is in
the gap in your life it’s in the void in
your life God shows up not in what is
there but in what is not there by him
all things consist he feels all space he
stands in the God he makes up the hedge
he feels up the void and sometimes you
got to be comfortable with the empty sea
whoo y’all don’t want to talk to me I
said sometimes you’ve got to be
comfortable with an empty seat or table
or bed or a job for they that wait upon
the Lord keep the seat empty keep the
bed empty keep the parking lot empty
keep the office empty sometimes you just
got to wait on it
you got to suffer through it you got to
cry yourself to sleep and say I’m gonna
hold out until God shows me
[Applause]
my god I feel like something’s about to
happen in this place I feel like
something’s about to happen in this
place
lord have mercy and the people who rush
into crazy choices because we cannot
stand to have an empty seat when an
empty seat is far better than the wrong
person I think i’ma shut up mouth all
preaching on there sometimes you have to
learn how to be lonely you have to take
the class of loneliness rather than to
fill the seat with misery wonder am I
what am i making crazy truth am i bad am
i bad person or am I just making bad
is this kid I’m raising the crazy child
manipulating things controlling people’s
lives you go over here and you go over
there love you don’t know you’re not
gonna marry him and you can’t do that to
give and who are you to know what ought
to be happening in my life how did you
get to switch everything around with
your crazy self you’re trying to tell me
where I ought to be who are the married
where I oughta work where I ought to
manipulation leads to misery it made I
feel like I’m talking to somebody it
make it may seem crazy but I’m gonna
work that thing in your life it may seem
crazy but I am going to accomplish my
purpose in your life it may seem crazy
what I’m getting ready to do in your
life may be antithetical to everything
that you have thought I’m prepared to do
it may seem crazy
I chose somebody that never crossed your
the things I worked the hardest or
brought the least
results and then when I got tired of my
face I just happen to be at the right
place at the right time to meet the
right can I get a witness somewhere slap
your name and tell them it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be crazy it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be crazy how he’s gonna
bless you it’s gonna be crazy how he’s
gonna move it’s gonna be crazy how he’s
gonna fix it it’s gonna be crazy
he’s gonna resolve it it’s gonna be
crazy it’s gonna be so crazy that when
God does it you’re gonna be scared of it
I don’t know but the Lord told me to
tell you don’t be scared of it it’s the
you come the blessing you come the
blessing you come the blessing you’ve
been trained on these days here come the
blessing
here come the blessing the blesser will
you come to blessing here come to
blessing here come to bless what do you
see I see a cloud the size of a man’s
head that’s crazy
it may be crazy but an abundance of rain
unexpected blessings come from
unexpected places
crazy blessings come from crazy places
the stone that the builders reject
becomes the chief Cornerstone if you
haven’t been rejected you can’t be
selected
I tried to tell God 40 years ago let me
say 42 when we had the conversation I
told him you can’t call me the priest
this is not gonna work nobody gonna
believe that you called Tommy takes to
preach they don’t even like me they
don’t like me Jesus you should call one
of them good people you know one of them
holier than thou self-righteous got it
going on got Jesus coming out of their
eyeballs people you shouldn’t call
somebody like me I’m crazy Wow I’m
radical I’m different I don’t fit it in
I don’t see how I don’t see how in the
world that you could use a guy like me
besides Lord I don’t know nobody I came
from nowhere I got saved in a storefront
in the hills of West Virginia how in the
world could you use a little old country
boy from a little country church from a
little old country state God said I know
you’re my crazy choice let me tell you
something there are some people in here
right now the day that if you knew their
whole story you would have never been it
on them being where they are but in
spite of how crazy it might look to
somebody else tell your neighbor is
crazy but I’m here
[Applause]
it’s crazy
but I made it is crazy but I survived it
is crazy but God brought me out I want
to preach to my haters I’m a teacher I
get it it don’t make sense
it don’t look right and should not
happen but in spite of how crazy it is
He blessed me anyway
I understand why you I am a crazy choice
but when I think of the goodness when I
I’m almost finished but I want some
people then everybody better gets said
you would never make it said you would
never survive but God chose you anyway
give God a praise
yes
[Applause]
[Music]
I couldn’t see how many people were
praising God
but whoever you are if you are a crazy
choice did you on expect a crazy
a crazy blessing is a blessing that
blows your mind that makes no sense that
comes out of nowhere that slaps you
upside the head
crazy choices produce crazy blessings
and today is the day today is the day
that you stop being a friend of the
crazy opportunities that God brings in
your life out of the crazy things he
tells you to say to people that you
think it will not work out of the crazy
door said he calls you to step into that
you feel intimidated from I want you to
understand that you are God’s crazy
everything that made sense to you fell
you remember how sure you were about to
access you remember nobody could tell
you nothing you remember how you start
something we’ve now got area you’ve got
you’ve got companies in areas that you
didn’t have the expertise you got doors
open to you that make no sense in the
reason your haters hate you is that they
they made more sense but God gave it to
you
and since you are crazy choice and you
will walk in crazy blessings you got to
become comfortable with your craziness
because every night me and God’s gonna
be something for you that you cannot
explain that you didn’t see coming that
you never thought would happen at this
age or stage or season in your life
every now and then everything that you
had set up is gonna fall apart so that
something that you never saw coming
could fall into place every now and then
I don’t know who I’m talking to but
every now and then God is going to bring
you into a strange season of
supernatural blessings and it’s gonna be
so crazy that you don’t even have
anybody to talk to about it
every now and then God is gonna pour you
out a blessing that when he does you
gonna be scared to receive it and the
Holy Spirit is gonna have to give you
the sign to go ahead and open your door
and let the blessing come in every now
and then God’s gonna prepare a table
before you in the presence of your
enemies and you will say how can I eat
around my enemies and gods don’t say
it’s your enemies that made me prepare
the table in the first place
I guess what I came from California to
tell you and I want you to hear this my
sons and daughters I came from the west
coast to Texas
don’t steer
with what you plan didn’t work out don’t
be scared when things didn’t fall into
place like he wanted them to you don’t
be scared to leave a seat empty don’t be
scared
to have God brings somebody that you
never expected that you never saw coming
don’t be scared when he moves you into
positions for which you have no
experience don’t be scared when he
don’t be scared when God tells you that
what he has planned for you is better
and don’t you dare be scared when the
people in the circle he takes you into
don’t accept you because you are not one
of them don’t need their endorsement to
validate God’s appointment
I feel glory I feel a release coming
from the presence of the Lord
you’d be surprised with the people that
Miss God because God’s choices look
they keep manipulating their own life
because what God has in store for you
Dallas was never my dream city when I
lived in West Virginia was Atlanta I
thought sure if God would ever send me
anywhere it would be to Atlanta I never
when he did it it was crazy I moved into
a city that was so unfamiliar
I got lost every Sunday morning driving
to my old church not used to the crazy
traffic in the crazy city that I didn’t
ask for more people join the first
Sunday than they did the 20 years that
preceded it don’t you tell me that God
won’t restore unto you everything that
you lost gotta stop I feel something so
strong I can’t even I can’t even preach
