bonfire right and she's over there and of course it's like extremely hot and she wants to have a hot dog whatever so she our neighbor we were over with our neighbors they're having a bonfire and so we go over there and he gives her like a cornhole board he as like a shield you know so she like all right and she like takes it over there she's standing there just holding the sick I'm just sitting back there just looking at the scene I'm like you know what that's a meme so yeah I just sna the photo and I want to see what everybody would like what their IDE of a good meme would be so I posted that on my story we had a good of people who who submitted a meme so all right do you guys want to rate these 1 to 10 or S tier 2f let's just go one to 10 to make it simple for us homeschoolers yeah all right hold on let me uh make this all set up here and move over over this tab all right so the first one we've got here let's see let see let we put this text Big for us here four all right first first first one up we got uh me character development God which what what what what of 10 we this guys I I rate it a eight solid eight 8.5 it's it's so relatable it's really relatable I agree with Levi it's very relatable yeah I say you people in the comments you tell us what you think as well for sure all right guys whatever the we're gonna have four judges uh Levi Jeremiah David and the comments and whichever one get the most points will'll win on this live so let me write let me write make tier list here let me type this all up here me manage all this sorry stupid thing I accidentally locked everything hold on making it work let it don't let it be you David I'm trying I'm gonna have to throw this thing in the G be all right there we go yes exactly this one is a 10 all right in the comments we need at least four more people to vote in the comments guys what do you vote this one out of 10 I'm gonna give this let's see uh Jeremiah what do you thinking one to 10 what are you thinking I Levi I think it's a solid a I mean like I'm hesitant to give anything a Tim just because feel like it's not perfect but I feel like it's very very relatable you're just like Lord like please give me like like you're just over here like Lord give me better character but please don't give me any trials and he's back there chilling you know as he always is eight out of 10 what was your vote Jeremiah eight believe I eight comments are are leaning more towards like Nish or 10ish yeah all right so we got a seven a nine a two from Mike two tens okay hold on let me keep track of all this the majority the majority there would be uh a nine all right see if my math is nothing believe was eight out of 10 I'm typing all this up guys see seven of these as well seven memes seven seven memes all right sweet Sparkle just makes it even funnier yeah that that's a good one so seven plus n is this we got 16 18 10 10 that's uh 38 divided by 1 2 3 4 five 38 divided by five is what like seven or six seven or eight 8 * 5 so about the comments give it about a 6.7 I guess that works yeah let me ask my tablet here hold on so we are we tallying in our votes plus the comments votes um good point we should T ours as well so definit ours just because we're people eight uh good point actually that's good point 8 plus 8 plus um I'm going to give the yeah I'm going to give this a solid eight as well like it's not god tier where it's like the funniest thing but it is still pretty funny yeah and we'll see Jeremiah was eight David is also eight plus two plus hold on I'm counting all these now be fair VI did you put one in I like sneak somebody else's name you know just tag somebody else even though it's my own just just to get in there no I didn't do that though autoally give one of 10 for some reason know all right total is 7.75 the total for everything that's good okay let's just do 7.5 to keep this simple no we can we do the down down to the exact mathod here it's more specific then if somebody else has a close member here we go guys all right here's here's one that somebody else put in girls think about their own Empire girls pretending to do a shield wall say that I can't even read it uh do girls even think about the Roman Empire girls pretending to do a shield wall because that looks a lot like a shield wall and a spear coming out or an arrow coming out that looks like an arrow coming out of the shield by the way somebody yeah like TR to Arrow at it I feel like this was forced very forced I it a you have to pay way too much attention to the meme and like what's going on to actually get it like you really have to like it's a pretty complicated one I mean well it's also like piggybacking off of another meme ex exactly yeah it's just an advanced meme I guess all right so leave I give this a six what do you give this Dr give this a five I'm gonna give this a five because it's funny but it's only funny because another meme is funny okay guys in the people in the comments what do you guys think a two okay the comments a four oh you guys are killing it a one all right a two oh boy does anybody like it at all what happened to the convo on confidence we're gonna do it after this but this this this is the most important thing right now Eli uh do anybody else have any more votes all right man you guys are hurting me this one was mine2 yes thank you I made it way too complicated I got to get myself a 10 so that way I don't get so done but I'm guessing that one's going to lose but it's it's a it's an advanced meme it's an advanced meme but it's fine six 1 two three four five six seven 30 wait got Michel definitely put that one in there I don't even remember memes are who now there we go he gave it 12 all right Michael Michael's disqualified I feel like he's do very eight all right let's see hold on all right it was uh 4.28 is mine so Roman Empire 4.28 I actually it wasn't even funny it was more of a fun thing okay I'm gonna go cry but here we go guys the next what it was fun for you to make I'm sure oh yeah yeah seriously like did you did you make that David I did yeah you by son of a gun well when I make them like I it's funny for me you shouldn't have even been able to vote on that that no wonder you're like it's an it very well it made to go from a 4.1 to a 4.28 so I'm pretty sure she does nothing for me people the people have spoken well I like it it's funny uh to me but I I think I should have made it differently make it like Ultra funny maybe whatever uh but hey it's okay on to the next one here we go oh that good Bo let's see here we go a fire a hot dog a milia what are we giveing this one I think that's his explanation no nope that that was actually person somebody and I honestly liked it that's an explanation Fire H all right comments what do you guys think I'm gonna say zero out of 10 because I I think it's I think it's just a yeah a zero a two here we go here we go come on I burst out laughing when I saw it so I'll give it a nine just because it laughs all right good stuff good stuff an eight from Addison good stuff a 10 from ailia nice stuff okay what do you think Jeremiah I'm might give it a even five because I mean it's kind of funny but like I said I I feel like it's an explanation yeah okay does anybody else have any more votes any more VES to tell up here honestly Levi when I see this picture all it makes me think of is the scene in Lord of the Rings where they dro the ring into the into the fire like I like throw it away froo throw it away you could drop it froto do it for I I forget the exact phrases but yeah the Ringo we've come so far I'm like trying to picture how I would make that Lord of the Rings be I might actually make it just for fun no it would be S the fire would be sour on yeah it would be it would be Frodo and then his little his his little sword he's like oh oh like hot dog could be smeagle it be S and then it would be the little piece of wood is Gandalf and then just froto cowering behind Gandalf all right so this one whole movie 6 three 6.3 decent 6.3 how much was the first one 6.7 7.75 oh okay all right so far the first ones in the leue see Jo Robins put another one in so that makes this uh 6938 divided by 12 which brings it to 5.78 instead Joy robon put another right now the next one guys all right now to the next one guys number of vs okay uh I'm echoing some reason you are did someone change something not me yes why [Music] are Jeremiah on your side turn phone yeah it's is that any better yeah there we go all right sweet what do you guys think of this one when when paint when the let's just say when the paint paint can you lit on fire hasn't exploded yet and you're getting impatient I'm going to say a 10 on my my book that is a 10 that is pretty fun I'll give it eight a nine okay uhuh all right kind of mid it's not very relatable okay Joy Robinson you are solid one come on Joy you're not bringing very much joy to this world a seven from amb Rose very good very good very good what a two from Madison oh boy oh boy a five from amember Wallen aren't like you know crazy for fire are doing the bad numbers you know all those guys have like issues with wanting to blow stuff up oh bro I just thought of I you know what I should have done bro this is a fire meme let's see a six plus 7 2 plus five all right any more votes for this funny thing is I'm downstairs right and Amilia and ABY rets are upstairs I I was just hear him start giggling I don't know they're on this they are so I think they're enjoying it oh good stuff good stuff okay so is anybody have any more votes at all anybody in the comments at all okay let me tell you this up here we go all right this one's got 5.65 dang I like that one that's depressing should we reveal who all the like major losers are by the end of this I was so far I'm the biggest loser all right okay let's see yeah we definitely will at the end that sounds greatly I still need to figure out a prize I was going to say I was going to give him a trophy I don't know if I shouldn't buy one and mail it to the person or what out on the back a job well done see when your best friend does something you know is going to ruin their life but you got to be supportive so you admire from afar relable yeah that was a good one when your that one's a 10 for me when your friend life is going up in Flames but you want to be supportive yeah so you're there you know you're hiding but you're still there give that I'll give that one a 10 that was pretty fun yeah let me typ this here hold on should I be combining these or just dividing them like I'm doing I'm think dividing is the way to do it yeah see here so nine plus 10 when your friend said it bad like not that bad if you guys hear any like grunting that's my dog he's like he has like nightmares or something I don't know just in case you guys like hear a bunch of like noise in the background that's what's happening all right any more votes guys all right let me count these up we got 9 10 77 8 97 1.1 9495 and I'm going to rate this a solid 8.5 yeah that's pretty good all right one two three four pull out a calculator 13 I was expecting this to go a lot faster but hey it's taking up some time 7.2 it's it's given a 7.2 let's see B I would have won with that if you just been Eli David and cheffy voting but y'all girls ruined the perfect bean he it's fine all right so this is a 7even point two for the uh best friend ruin life all right this is the administrated stuff man they usually do this on a video edited through and makes make it look perfect and fast but really it's not all right here we go next one all right Smurf cat gen Z I don't understand this meme no you Smurf cat right no I think you should just end the the live and just go Google Smurf cat is it is that the cat that's always like arguing with the lady it's it's the cat that looks like it's a mushroom and it's blue oh it's this thing what yes L truly why is that right there I Googled it I don't okay yeah yeah um I'm G say there's probably of people that don't know what a Smurf cat is well I knew what it was yeah Le all right let me see let me see here okay all right I I I don't I I don't get it it's I I kind of get it but it's still not that funny I guess I genuin did not laugh at this one bit so I'm rating it a zero because I it wasn't I didn't even crack a smile that's depressing I'm gonna rate a zero as well zero one I'll give it a seven I don't even think we we need to count the votes on this one David wait what about what about the comments maybe the comments like it Amilia like it maybe old maybe that's it Bri BR says never knew it was impossible to un laugh until I saw these oh man okay so yeah this one's gonna lose by far um very few people even cared to vote uh 2.71 all right should I Reve who's whose mem I know who is when we go through the scores yeah all right okay I'll wait till the end cuz I'm like laughing because I know who these are I'm like yeah me too okay here we go my sister me when your sister's mad and you keep poking at her 10 10 yeah that's a 10 that's a solid 10 I'm sorry that is a pen across the board that's like you Google the definition of what a mad sister is and that's that's what pops up you know yes what do you think Jeremiah and I love Annoying them low relatable though is gonna be a zero walk your you standing in her doorway is enough for her to be angry at you that's really I'll give I'll Jeremiah what's your vote eight eight okay anybody else have a vote for this seven okay all right seven we got a seven what's up Believe by John raing these memes all these adults joing like what are you guys doing box yes all right 67 or anybody does anybody else have any votes at all anybody in the comments I'm going to start counting these so which one was Levi's what have we gone through yours yet Levi I I didn't put in there bro I'm I'm a good person I'm very good person did you one well I made an example and that was pretty good yeah it was pretty good I don't know if I'd be able to send it I was proud of it I sat there I was like yeah that's me you know all right this one is currently in number one spot with 7.91 points nice 7.91 oh boy oh boy and it was going to lose too it was it was actually at uh 7.44 until three more people voted 10 Nine and Nine so it is currently in the lead guys next life and responsibilities me yeah this is a 10 by far this is a 10 I'm giving this a 10 so relatable what you guys think more relatable that it could have been is if somebody was in a suit and on fire abilities and then burning hey yeah we could actually make that a meme if you come over here I have an extra suit you can wear wow bro they don't like this name apparently have you guys voted yet I'd say i' say a eight Jeremiah 10 all right anybody else have any votes maybe else I'm going start telling this one all right this is a 6.91 for the uh I really don't know if this is actually a fair rating because it just depends on how many people vote H okay I can go back just add all them together if you want instead I mean really I think it's just let's still on how many people vote you don't get even amount of votes on every single meme okay yeah that's true well people are I think it'll be it's fine it's fine as it is so average right I mean honestly it is is a little strange but it is uh it is close to what people like and don't like the most I guess too go for it all right here's the next one boys there also bias voters yeah is that um no one absolutely no one new age War tactics according to a sleep deive deprived blonde all right what do you guys think of this one this is more I give a six I'm GNA give this six as well you is being nice right now he's not not wanting to hate too much I'll give it a five just oh boy well I forced the person to make this one it's my fault I didn't tell him what to make but I forced him to make a [Music] meme well they made a really bad me my goodness oh boy all right let's see if so far this one might be the worst one oh boy a three oh no oh no a five all right all right this one's a 4.4 it is the second to worst one or third to worst one you're still number one no the uh the uh the Smurf cats on for the worst is it is it thank goodness yeah so feel I don't feel completely terrible you know that's funny all right we got four more boys four more all right me when I'm frying chicken and the grease be popping this is not Levi opposed this someone just tagged him in the picture the grease me that is lowkey TR though but not as much with chicken with like bacon bacon or like steak or like a or burger with like a lot of Grease if you put too much avocado oil or whatever oil you put there I don't I don't think it would have to be specific though so I give it since it's accurate I give it an eight yeah yeah I'm give it a solid seven I agree eight all right people in the comments what do you guys think all the girls that cook are saying 10 so anybody else have any more thoughts joab gives us an eight okay phrase make it makes it funny it's so like this is the meme your mom shows you laughing her head off it's just yeah that's that's a good way to put it and just you know EX guys I thought you said eggs and fries extra 11 right this one has a 7.90 putting it at the top wow by 015 uh this is a disgrace you guys should be ashamed of yourselves voting so high for this me honest yeah honestly I I think that some of the other ones were better yeah me too I I stand strongly with the voters because this one if you do any cooking with a pan on a stove with something that's greasy you don't know like the intense pain of like a few seconds when you get grease on your bro I I I burned half my finger doing it he likes it soak it up okay Anakin the most of our marshmallow Kenobi I'm giving this a 10 because it's Star Wars absolute 10 it's a 10 yeah this is just so true this is like millions and billion billions of dollars true 10 what do you think Jeremiah I have to agree there 10 go 10 there we go guys let's make this the number one one come on guys photoshopped like a lightsaber yes first I think Addison you giving it the one and you can't kidding me come on guys give it a 10 someone gives it a two come on guys Revenge of the Sith is best understand the meme though it's because they don't want Star they don't understand it okay you understand star wars vote okay guys vote when you guys vote te say after your vote whether or not you've seen Star Wars yeah there we go unless you say whether or not You' seen Star Wars you can't vote so for now we've only got Jeremiah Levi and I oh I know Amelia's watched Star Wars okay a banana you don't get a vote you've never seen Star Wars you don't understand the meme all right guys who who else is voting actually understand the meme I hate you you my brother Anakin I loved you if this wins then I will like actually like Get It Like a Star Wars Trophy and send it to the person I'll pitch in5 towards it so all right what about you cheffy y'all seem doing fine on your own all right Bri Bray you don't you're your uh Splish Splash your opinion is trash you have not seen Star Wars this is such a uplifting live yes exactly tearing down memes building up a few people's confidence yes exactly joab what's your vote if you've seen it I said 10 uh joab not Jeremiah joab yeah seen it okay I don't watch Star Wars well Addison you should it's the second cleanest Trilogy ever well the third Lord of the Rings then The Hobbit then Star Wars but uh anybody else has actually seen them that understands this meme because right now the only vote we have is [Laughter] 10 anybody else I'm gonna start telling these guys one two three four five six seven eight perfect score cleanest what what do I mean by cleanest I mean that in nine movies they've had like three cuss wordss and maybe two scenes Where You Should Skip maybe two minutes ahead did not see the half-dressed girl Lord of the Rings has zero of those and the hab has a couple of dumb jokes that's what I mean divided by eight all right 10 is a 10 this is wow that was some intense math are we just going to skip over I just call Star Wars like the third cleanest thir the third cleanest like third cleanest successful Trilogy of all time statistically oh like population wise not like message people wise yeah I'm talking about like uh successful movies that have made a lot of money without booting any sexuality stuff any nudity or any cuss wordss as far as like on that Spectrum the three movies Lord of the Rings is number one the hobbits number two Star Wars is number three like statistically I'm not even saying my opinion here that's just statistically true but this one is so far out of 10 I don't I think the other two are not going to be as good but we can laugh at how dumb they are um all right that was the last one you didn't count my vote Mike what was your vote oh wait go are there any more or is that just that one there okay the older star were much better I like well the older Star Wars were as movies but Revenge of the Sith is better than them all no I think he's referring to the the original six not oh yeah yeah the the new ones are trash trash with extra trash they the trash of the trash it should be legal to make something so trash so Revenge of the Sith one right yep Revenge of the Sith one won now who said the character development one I can find I can find out here quick hold on the character development oh that was uh Eli cross all right right good stuff that was a gold meme Eli seriously that is number two in the list or number three so yeah it was good all right David said the one about the Roman Empire like this one's more for the boys I guess because it's like it's fine the new the I was I wasn't trying to make the funniest meme possible but it's all good an explanation uh what was the explanation one again hold on let me let me find this oh oh that was a that was a hot dog Amilia that's sa Bea yeah beta beta uh the paint can that's Seth King yep that one is underrated yeah that one was really good um watching the best friend ruin the life isn't that Elise yeah all right Smurf Wallen was it Levi Wallen it was I'm pretty sure thought that was Levi be oh Levi my bad yeah the sister is Levi wall okay cool cool cool my sister S I want hi that one was gold that number number two Levi won uh if you text me your address I will send you something in the mail for being number two give me like your a my responsibilities uh who posted that I think that was ailia or no Abby rose right no hold on the next one is Abby Smurf I don't remember that one spect who Spectre that's Zoe wall my respons okay all the wallins and are in there oh my goodness guys I just thought of the best idea for the for future lives that we'll have to do meme review and it's not original because PewDiePie originally came up with it but still that would be beautiful like like the video clips or just a regular meme you know like which one's good which one's not whatever okay uh New Age War tactics who was that because that was pretty that was H Abby rickets Abby Rose sorry Abby Rose it was fine it just wasn't funny but I'm the guy that put d one too okay grease be popping why is that one so high that that one was latte it's latte latte V the Sith who's that Gab Suarez yep and uh honestly bro latte was third by .1 points that is why we kept track 0.1 Levi won 7.91 latte 7.9 zero all right that was fun that was we need to do that again come put another meme or something be that'd be good like that would be very good actually okay yes sirevi you want to stay on to talk about confidence or what you want to do I could stay on for a little bit but I'm probably gonna head to bed here soon too long fair enough we do all have church in the morning I love when people like don't you have church in the morning like bro everyone on the entire live has church in the morning course yes sethy did get done dirty that was great well thank you we're glad you liked it BR I got done dirty you did Seth Seth should have been number two or number three number three at least definitely yeah I think I won not you you didn't though that's the thing not W that Star Wars you got to see it to understand you have to the emotions the the plot it's it's not Lord of the Rings as far as the but it's still really good yeah the sibl romance the new ones are trash though but all right all right let's like about confidence but some of the series are good the Mandalorian is fire yeah uh what's the other one um Andor Andor yeah I've heard that was really good too I I can't wait till they come out with both unless they have they've already come out with some of them they already did they've come out with a few of them already Star Wars one should not have counted you all cheated that one Levi if you promise to watch Star Wars I will send you a complete box set of original six you have those uh I'll just buy them on Amazon and send them to them bro David got that got that money yeah like 20 bucks you can eBay cellones not not iPhone 5 15 not five I don't sell I don't cell phones anymore I do cold calls for it really yeah he's the guy that everybody they they're one of the largest managed service providers in the in the nation they do of you thank you I do my best you're proud of him until the day that he calls you up you're like David leave me alone all right so confidence Levi do you have confidence so what are you confident in confidence the definition of confidence is the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something firm trust the state of feeling certain about the truth of something so one thing I know about confidence is that the chicks dig it right but a l lot of guys they act like like they're confident but deep down inside they're emotionally insecure are you speaking from personal experience Levi maybe never well Levi when you say confidence what do you mean by confidence I feel feel like okay I need to give me a second to Define confidence in my own words because I feel like confidence means confidence but I can't say that take your time take your time another definition is a feeling of self assurance arising from one's appreciation of One's Own abilities or qualities yeah I I say that's how I feel about confidence being secure and how you are emot and justr people if you feel stable in a situation Lei has they say you have W RZ Levi you have I think all Levis have de [Laughter] RZ yeah I mean that that's that's that's fair I guess yeah okay confidence interesting Jeremiah what do you see Jeremiah confidence what do you what do you think about confidence what is confidence confidence confidence confidence oh confidence yes confidence confidence confidence kid I'm just gonna I'm just gonna keep saying confidence until until the words pop into my head um really confidence with confidence confidence it's not something that you can just put on confidence it's not something that you can just put on when you want it and it's not something that you can come by easily I think it comes from being rooted and self-secure in who you are as a person and um what people think of you I mean if you rely firmly on and purely on what people think of you for confidence you're going to have confidence one day and then not the next but I think confidence to me would just me being self-secure in who I am as a person whether that's and whether like I'm just like the way I look the way I act if I'm good at my job and you can gauge that based off of what like if you have advice from people that you truly trust you can kind of gauge how you're doing that and then you say well I'm confident that I can do this but I think we've all had somebody come up to us and say like hey can you go do this for me or like can you go do this task and we've known if we were confident or not in doing it so I think just that feeling of hey can you go do this and you're like I don't know you're probably not confident in yourself to do that but then then again if somebody asks you to go brush your teeth you're firmly confident that you can go brush your teeth because you've done it so many different times so or you haven't what what about the people that don't brush their teeth um I mean they might be confident but they used to have a song in the 80s called a yuck mouth it was about it's called Yuck Mouth it was literally a kid who didn't brush his teeth how do you know that that song exist I heard it from somebody a long time ago and then looked it up and it is hilarious you should you you should look it up no I think it's from the 80s I want to say it's from the 80s back when you could actually have free speech yeah confidence like do you think it's like when you leave by what do you think the difference is between someone faking confidence and having confidence um well ins well you know on the outside I'm sure both could look pretty you know about the same but if you look closely you can usually see where somebody will be lacking confidence like they'll try to fit in with the more cool kids to say you know they'll they'll always be going and trying to put themselves on a level what where they're actually uncomfortable you know what I'm saying like they're going to try and lift themselves up more because they see confidence as something more like earned not something that you just have you know yeah I thinki made a good point in the comments he said uh he feels like when you fake confidence you become more obnoxious yeah which I feel like that depends but depends on how you perceive confidence and how you think you need to act to be considered confident I mean if you feel like you need to be the best and you feel like you can ever admit to being wrong and like that makes confidence that's it just all depends on how you perceive confidence and how you portray confidence on whether or not you become obnoxious or not yeah I feel like a truly confident person is not going to be come off as obnoxious because they're going to be quietly confident in themselves they don't need to like put themselves out there and get you to believe they're confident because they're just confident in whoever they are so I you could have a confident person just sitting in the corner somewhere confident who they are more than the guy yeah yeah more than the guy that's out there like really popular he could be he could not be confident right it just depends on how you perceive it yeah there's act there's actual confidence and then there's portrayed confidence um confidence you can be also really confident and know what you're talking about you know but if you uh if you kind of talk like this even if you're really confident in what you're saying it's just not going to come across if your tonality and your body language in the way that you say something it's just not going to come across even even if you say dumb things but you have confident body language and confident tonality that would almost be more effective than having terrible body language terrible tonality and confidence well I would tagree with you on that David Do It um personally I think that when you have somebody that comes across really really confident but they they're they're not actually confident what they're saying they're they're just spouting things from their head and then you find out that that person person was wrong and what they said but they said it really confident you're never going to know whether or not that person actually knows what they're talking about or not but you have if you have somebody that calmly and quietly or maybe not so confidently tells you their opinion or they tell you what the answer is to your question and they're confident in themselves that's the right answer but they're not very aggressive or a very like forward person I would rather have that person come and tell me that rather than somebody very confident like somebody who exudes confidence coming up and tell me the answer's 15 when the answer is actually 13 I'd rather have somebody calmly and not so confidently tell me that rather than have the wrong answer Anakin Skywalker was confident that's what Mike penguin said Anakin was confident he should have he should have been confident from The High Ground you know one thing that I see the difference or something in conference is that it's like a process where you learn more it's kind of like I could I see it kind of like everyday faith I like everyday confidence like you say say you start driving right and you're you're nervous about it you know you it's a learning process over time you get more confident as you drive so like there can there's so much so many situations where they like you're you're awkward at first you're you're not like a really social butterfly but say you're in like a community of people and you have to you know get to know people say like you're at school you know you're going to have to get out there and once you start hanging out with people more you're going to build up that confidence for hanging out with people so um confidence really is something that will build up over time yeah different different things what about like you like Levi one of the things you do is you make jokes you're very confident in that for other guys like like me I'm not as good at that how can I get better at that how can I be more confident in making stupid jokes whatever stupid you can be really immature and just find your joke totally like hilarious to yourself right yeah so you think everybody else is going to be on the same page as you so you can just say it confidence but it doesn't come across right bro I I've got in so much trouble for being confident that a joke is like G-rated right oh no oh no no oh oh no [Music] that's yeah it can be very painful sometimes just just to say the least I'm so much trouble y or like when you accidentally tell a joke youd only tell to the boys but you tell some to a girl or something they're like what does that mean or they get all all offended yeah like that L like exactly like that yes there's they say there's portrayed confidence but then there's like so the definition on line says let's see hold on let's hear this at full blast here hold on confidence tell us the joke is what Levi the joke tell us what's the joke Levi bro I have a pun book actually it's online if you want to buy it dear Lord a pun book book I wrote when I was like 12 you wrote it yes the funny thing is it's public but it has a ton of typos like majorly bad typos in it even though it's online and published it's kind of really funny it just reflects my 12-year-old self where can I find this book I'm sure it's real page Turner lulu.com search pun book and I'll pop up let's go it only costs like oh my goodness please tell me you've not made money off of this it's real yep the the first the thing is see I hooked up my PayPal account I should probably Sue this company because people were buying it and they were like sending me pictures of it right and they're supposed to be paying me via PayPal and I never got one payout once so I should probably sue the company it's probably like a cold case but I'll pay you for privately if you have uh if you can just ship ship it to me privately if you want if you're not going to get a penny from this um honestly I could if I actually wanted to I could go and fix it up because it has so much typos in it but I don't know maybe I'll buy a bunch them and sell them or just hand them out for free doesn't really matter let's see someone says also self-confidence confidence is the state of being clearheaded either that I a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that the chosen course of action is the best or most effective confidence comes from the Latin word for there me which means to trust so really it's just to trust trust in what so you guys what do you guys think does confidence come more from your own ability more from God more from the way you were raised where does confidence come from where should it come from well I mean in in the Bible in 2 Corinthians 3:5 it says we um says not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves but our sufficiency is of God so I mean I think that it's pretty Direct in that in that scripture it says that our confidence should be in God not in ourselves I mean if you are around a person and you asked them to do things for you multiple times and they and they continually continually failed you're not going to have much confidence in that person no matter how much you like them you're not going to have confidence when you say l left go left they're gonna go left First Corinthians where right uh it's second Corinthians 3:5 second Corinthians if somebody continually lets you down you're not gonna have confidence in them so I mean we've we all know how much we've let ourselves down in the past and how many times we made self- promises that we failed to keep so I mean it's my personal belief that our you can't really have confidence in yourself to to an extent in certain in certain areas of your life I mean of course like leevi talked about when you get in your car every day you don't ever doubt that you could safely of your own ability that you could get from point A to point B safely except for the fact that you have other drivers on the road that can't be accounted for but you and yourself are confident in your ability but comes down to other spots you never know yeah do you have any more thoughts on that leave or Jeremiah oh no I mean I'm I'm gonna read the scripture I'm going to put it into context of this this part and I got my little bible here since I was seven let's see so I'll start from verse for as much as you are manifestly declared to be the Epistle of Christ ministered by us and I'll change some of the wording so that we can understand it some you know written not with ink but with the spirit of the Living God not in tables of stone but in fleshly tables of the heart and such trust we have through Christ from God not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think that anything as of ourselves but our sufficiency is of God now I don't believe though that this means that you because the next verse is who also hath made us able Ministers of the New Testament not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kth but the spirit giveth life now he's a minister and he just said our not anything as of ourselves but the sufficiency of God he's not saying that the sufficiency is so completely of God that he never St stes for his sermons he didn't have notes for his sermons he didn't have troubles but his sufficiency which you know the definition of sufficiency let's let's look that up quick sufficiency is the condition or quality of being adequate or sufficient an adequate amount of something so God gives us the adequate amount of something for what we're needing to do and also we have a part like brother Samuel Browning said at twt in the morning session God doesn't come to do away with our with our thoughts or reasoning or conscience or intellect but to be in every part of it so he wants to give us confidence in his word and also in things that uh we have built up through prayer um so what do what do you think Levi um I mean about what like what you just read yeah what do you think did confence come more from what God gives us but what about what we do how does that come together it doesn't contradict it's got a dove to how does it come together also hi Daniel welcome to live if God is going to give you confident confidence and you at least got to trust him right so a lot of times people aren't even confident in God and when he tries to you know when you know when God has a plan for you and he has something for you to do and you don't trust him in it say like you have like a job that you're supposed to take you know don't have confidence in God then it's probably not going to work out for you in the long run you know and that goes back to having a personal relationship with God to build up your confidence in him so over time you get to you you gain trust in him you see how things work out even if you don't get what you want right when you want it but you know God's always on time so just really getting to have confidence in God is important to where you'll end up in life you know it's exactly right and how has that exactly impacted your life Levi which straight facts by the way you're speaking straight facts boy is Aristotle for Real come on give me some more how is it impa your life how is confidence and all this and God and what you have to build up because you're building up your life what job are you going to have what wife are you going to have and also you want to stand still and do what God wants how is all of this coming together in Levi's life well for me back back say I really got to know really have a personal relationship with God when I was about 12 to 13 I got into some stuff I mean everybody gets into some stuff that they shouldn't have gone into and that's the main thing that'll lead people to God you know they make mistake and you know every the world around them Falls and so the only place left is to turn to is you know God so so so I really started having to trust in God back then when I was younger and back say maybe two years AG ago I really started getting distracted with school you know just life in general my relationships just all that and just started you know putting God out of the picture so and when you start putting God out of the picture even if you had confidence before you slowly start to lose that confidence in him because you know you you don't have that relationship with him you don't talk to him as much it just slowly dissipates so that led to a big old dropping point for me then I just had to remember again that you know I have to have that confidence in God and that confidence in God leads to you know confidence in what you're doing in life you say like any decision that you take in life as long as you know that you have god with you you can be confident that everything will work out you know so that's really been been uh a lesson for me you know I'm still learning everybody's still learning every single day to trust God you know it's a daily dying off of yourself you can't you can't have confidence in yourself that you're going to be greatest person in the world you can't have confidence that everything's going to work out great and perfect just with yourself as long as God's behind you I believe everybody can have confidence you know amen exactly right um and what advice would you would you give to people that are um because one thought that I got from that is you're doing so much within yourself going to school you're doing everything yourself that maybe God gets out of that picture and you're like self-sufficient where God's supposed to be your sufficiency in a way what advice would you give to people that are doing so much school that God is getting out of the picture in their lives honestly just open your Bible every morning that's what really got it back to me like you know getting up right now I get up at like six o'clock every morning drive to school and you know just it's not that hard to sit down just for like even five minutes or just you know read a quick verse give a quick prayer just starting it off right can really just it'll just lead to healthier relationship with God in the long run just a little bitty things you put into your everyday life that's ex exactly right amen good stuff that's some great stuff what what what are your thoughts uh Jeremiah I mean I don't really have much to add on that um that point to be honest um Levi is 100% right I mean so how do you in your life Jeremiah you do construction you're not reading the Bible and the Bible's telling you how to do construction you're not reading the Bible and the Bible's telling you how to cook how to clean how to live on your own how to have a good sleep schedule but yet God is still such a part of your life how are you able able to be the manager and all these different things and still have God in your life and have a relation ship with the Lord Jesus Christ when you're self when you're literally living on your own and you're self-sufficient in a way that Levi and I don't understand we still live with our parents well um first of all it's easy to remember that I need God in my life every day because um God finds a way to remind me every day that I'm not self-sufficient and that I'm I can't do it on my own because I mean we all know that by ourselves and on our own we can never live an overcoming Christian Life life because the I mean if you think about it the person that we're fighting against has been doing this for thousands and thousands of years so without God we have no chance of fighting an enemy that's been studying us for thousands of years so it's easy to remember that I can't do it on my own and then I'm gonna need I need a helping hand every day I need somebody to help carry me when I can't go on but um as far as keeping God in my life every day um for construction it's really easy to um to uh like use our headphones while we're working so like I can put a tape in or I can just listen to gospel music or um something like that and just keep my mind um refreshed and like when I'm just in the subconscious have that kind of an atmosphere because I mean in in construction you work you you don't have control of who you work around and the kind of spirits and the kind of conversations you over here you don't have any control over that and um there's a lot of there's a lot of alcohol a lot of smoking there's a lot of um Unholy conversation that goes along on a job site and that's just it's just what goes along with it so you really gota sometimes it can be hard to be a light in such like a dark atmosphere but it doesn't always require you being you being outspoken about your beliefs it's as simple as like you just doing the right thing and not entering in I've had people like comment or like ask me like I work with all Latinos and they ask me if I if I go to church and I be and I've not even I don't speak enough Spanish to really have a conversation with them to that extent but they they know I went to church just because I they see me not talking or they hear me not talking like the rest of the guys out there because like they just know that like I'm not like one of them but keeping that that like kind of atmosphere around you that that that can that can make you rely on God because when you're out there and you're doing all that it can be so easy to not turn on a tape and just do your job and to just go about your daily life and um you you kind of you kind of um you touched on the fact that like well God's not telling you to have a good sleep schedule God's not telling you to to be a good worker well in the Bible it says to be a good Steward and I believe that applies to every part of our life whether we're speaking about time that we spend uh whether at work or at home or whether it's on how we take care of our bodies if getting enough sleep is very important for being a good Steward of what the lord gave us and and our health I mean we're if we're a tiple unto the Lord we wouldn't we wouldn't leave our church in disarray because we believe that that's a place where we meet God we keep it clean we keep it holy because we believe that's a place where we we can enter into to worship to the Lord so why would we not take care of our body if we believe that's a temple unto the Lord you always want to be like healthy because it's also something that God gave you every day that you wake up is a blessing from God so how you spend that day is how you spend what God gave you so I believe that if you're also God wants the best for you I mean doing the best for yourself and doing the best at your job to to better S I believe is also the Lord's will unless he's like directly telling you not to I mean unless he has something for you to do I think that doing the best we can to be the best person we can be is always in God's will yeah really yeah you good David the wrong way I'm sorry good stuff see so jerem would you say that your confidence is more in what you do who you are who you aren't where does your confidence really lie and when you say confidence what is confidence what does it mean to you where does it come from well I feel like that's a really a subjective a subjective question as far as what am I confident in when I wake up in the morning and I get in the car I'm confident in my ability as a driver that I've done it before I mean I like I'm confident that I've done this over and over and over and over but when I when I go into church or if I pray for somebody or if I if I'm just doing like something like this like talking to people I wouldn't say I'm confident in my own personal ability in in in sharing my opinion because I I don't have a lot of public speaking experience I don't have a lot of experience so I can't really rely on myelf confidence to get me through I have to rely on God and like anytime I get up and I go sing I don't have confidence in myself as a singer I have confidence in God that I'm doing something for him and that he'll bless it so it really depends on what exactly you're talking about where your confidence comes from and where you draw Confidence from because David when you get out on the basketball court you're not necessarily relying on God to put the ball through the hoop you're relying on your on your skill as a basketball player because that they're two they're two separate things I mean you can pray and you can have a ask God to help you have a good game that day but in the end when you get on the court you're going to be relying on your self-ability and that's where you're going to draw Confidence from but yeah at the same time when we go into church I'm sure ministers when they go up to preach they're not drawing on self-confidence for that service to go well because by themselves that service could be it could be good or it could be bad and if the Lord's not there then what have we done but just go hear a man so I really think the question is subjective to whether or not or what situation you're talking about where you draw your confidence from and also what is confidence because I think that I think there's a very big difference in confidence in yourself and confidence in God because confid because God is absolute he's infinite and and he cannot fail so I believe that confidence right there what you're more talking about is Faith because yes you have confidence in God but how let me let me see how I say this I can I'm confident in things but when I say I'm confident I'm allowing I'm allowing for air when I say I'm confident that means I I'm pretty pretty sure I can do it like I'm confident I I could do this but I'm leaving room for error in there that I say I'm confident or not that I can absolutely do this some people would use them interchangeably I personally do not but um when I when I talk about God I don't say I'm confident that God can do this for you I would say I believe or I have faith that God can do this for you because I believe that faith is a step above confidence because God is absolute and I'm not confident that God can do what he says I I know without a shadow of a doubt that I believe you can do it so I think if you're talking about something spiritual I I would say that I I have confidence in God but I would also I I wouldn't use it the same exact way in my opinion what do you what do you think about that Levi um yeah I would I mean without a doubt I have more confidence in God than myself you know well I would say this though it isn't two separate people you and God it is but God wants us in him to be one you see there's the scripture let us be one as as we are one one so that is the scripture John 17- 21 let me find that I got my little bible here John 1 because you guys are both saying things that are exactly correct but God doesn't want to just have us be our own person and then him be his own person John 17 verse 21 and he says let's see let's see let me see is this the says that they all may be one as thou father art in me and I in thee and they also may be one in us that the world may believe it that thou has sent me exactly so he wanted us he wanted man and God to be one as he was one with his father because he only ever did what God told him to do but God doesn't come to make the Holy Ghost a person and Levi a person but for us to become like God for us to change our character to be more like the Lord Jesus Christ to where when God gives Levi an ability to make jokes and to be and to uh you know into all these different things he has an ability and it's a good ability but Joe Adam uses it all the time when he preaches he might be a preacher like your dad who knows Jeremiah Sheffield has a gift to manage people God gave him that gift but that's part of God and you remember there was an attribute of God in Levi before the found in God before the foundation of the world and that one of those attributes were Levi Von Jeremiah Sheffield David Kain and these abilities that you have it isn't that like oh well I'll just go to work and do my job and then I'll go to church and be a Christian or whatever else I'm a Christian on the job site but that's just what I do and like no God wants you to be a Christian while you're doing it he wants you to be um the man that he wants you to be to be we remember we are Messiah ETS we are Little Miss Jesus Christ we represent God himself to this world so we it isn't that we have oh I have I don't have confidence in myself I have confidence in God no I have confidence we have confidence in what God is making us into Jeremiah I believe you have humility I believe you're right where God wants you to be same with Levi you sense humility from you guys so I discern it but we're confident in what God has made us to be God is leading me to do these lives you know I've had embarrassments from it I've had annoyances from it I've had fun I've had you know hardships but I feel led to I think God is leading me to do it so I'm not that I'm confident in myself but I'm confident in what God is in me and what God is leading me to do and with you guys God wants you of course to be to work in construction God wants you leave I de your schooling and at the same time be a Christian but there's a scripture in Psalms it says the Lord shall be thy confidence and he shall come theing keep th foot from being taken the Lord shall let me find that be thy me find it and I'll read that then I'll have a see Proverbs 3 and 26 it's uh there we go 3 and 26 be or 3 and 25 let me know when you're there uh Jeremiah you're good go for it be not afraid of sudden fear neither of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh for the Lord shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken God is your confidence and you are Little Miss Jesus Christ God wants us to our identity is we are sons of God the person you not like oh well I'm confident in God not in myself no you are the very word of God manifest in flesh God above us God With Us God in us all that God was he poured into Christ all that Christ was he poured into the church deity isn't in heaven guys God isn't waiting for us in heaven D is not in heaven brother bham said de is in you Levi is the representation of Jesus Christ himself so it isn't oh I'm confident in not that you're saying something wrong but it's just just you know a more complete picture I'm confident in who God wants me to be if that makes sense well I think I think we kind of I think we kind of got off topic when you start to talk about you're you're you're starting to talk about the statute of a perfect man and and having the mind of Christ you you're really you're not necessarily talking about like confidence because at that Faith brotherly kindness self-control you got to have confidence to be faith faith is confidence in a way it's all confidence if you don't have confidence in God's word you're not going to do anything of of course it's confidence true we're talking about where do you get your confidence from is it because I have an ability in sales or I do Tech stuff or is it because I have confidence in the man God wants me to be well I mean if you look at it brother random talked about um God In The Garden of Edan sorry not Edan Eden talking to um talking to Adam and how he brought the the animals before Adam and he he said Adam what would you call this and brother R said God had confidence in Adam because he was so much like he was so much like Christ and so much like God that he had the mind of God it also says um actually a brother at our church recently preached about this he said that God could come down in the Garden of Eden and fellowship with with Adam at any time at any time I mean if you examine your own life and you think I might not want God to come down all the time but you think about it if God comes down into your life and he comes and visits you and he wants to fellowship with you God's not going to see your your failures and your mistakes he's going to have confidence in you because he sees himself if you're a holy ghost will CHR he's going to come down he's going to see himself so God could have the same confidence in us that he could have in Adam when he said to name the animals and and and God was and just like he talked about howy right and God just like that's exactly right he's like saw this long necked animal he said I'm call that a giraffe gu's like that's exactly right it's what I was thinking son yeah but that's that that you you got to have confidence in getting to what you're talking about but you're really talking about the statute of a perfect man and having confidence that God can get you there but but we're using faith and confidence interchangeably as in the same word so if if that's what we're talking about then I completely understand where you're going with it but brother the brandom did not use faith and confidence in the exact same in the exact same you could have confidence that God is God but having faith that God is God is a completely different thing there's a lot of denomination people that have confidence that God is unchanging and that God can can fulfill his word but then again they also don't believe in Divine Healing and they they don't believe in the spirit but we through faith have received all the these things it's Paul said by faith I've done this not by confidence so confidence is very very very important in our personal life and also in our spiritual life and you got to have confidence that God can help you through these things but at the same time confidence on its own is not going to get you to the statute of a perfect man and brotherly perfect brotherly love and perfect love Levi yes sir um someone put in the comments Leia Kini what about non-christians who are confident in their stance what would you say about that Lei what about the non-christians who are confidence about this atheism or whatever they whatever they believe well confidence goes so many different ways you know I mean you can really be confident in anything whether it's right or wrong like you know you can the people you surround yourself confidence will build up your own confidence you know in something that you believe in if you know they all believe in the same thing so you know if you if it's like unbeliever who's surrounded by a ton of Christians and say the whole entire world believed in Jesus Christ you know how he came to save us then that single person probably would slowly be or very quickly be losing confidence and their own beliefs so a lot of the time it is what and who they surround themselves with that'll lead to their confidence and what they believe you know so you know it's just whatever you surround yourself with if you surround yourself daily with Jesus and you're going to have Jesus you know you're going to have faith in him trust in him so you know I say my answer to that is just because they surround themselves with you know certain people certain topics certain beliefs that their own beliefs turn out to be you know unbelievers yeah yeah I agree let's see um now that that makes sense now Jeremiah what's up J second one so Jeremiah the definition of confidence is I wouldn't say use them interchangeably they are different but they are very similar the definition of confidence the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something firm trust Faith definition complete trust or confidence in someone or something the word confidence is literally in the definition of faith it is complete trust in conf or confidence in someone or something uh so I look up confident in the Bible think student knowledge can enhance confidence in various aspects so here's my point with this I'm not saying confidence as a word I don't want to say oh it's just a word that means something no what was the original confidence because if you look at the definition of confidence it's the feeling or belief that you can rely on someone or something what was the original person to rely on the Lord Jesus Christ when he was Elohim by himself he was himself and he was group line on himself because he's all knowing and see Olivia C says the knowledge may be incorrect but if they believe it's sincerely to be true they believe their they feel their beliefs are based on facts and therefore gives them confidence based on what they know yes what I'm saying is is the original confidence was in God it was supposed to be in God and God alone and then Satan took that confidence and he perverted it into what it is now and so confidence is you know the feeling with that one you can rely on something faith is compl compl trust or confidence in someone or something Psalms 27:2 when the wicked even mine enemies and my foes Came Upon me to e My Flesh they stumbled and fell though those should encamp against me my heart shall not fear though War should rise against me in this will I be confident one thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his Temple so the confidence what is confidence it's who you are and and I'm not saying it's a semantic thing like oh confidence doesn't mean this it means that it's just it's it's who you are what do you really ultimately have confidence in the Lord himself shall be that confidence and he shall kep that from being taken why do I have confidence the way that I do some many people say you shouldn't do this it's stupid you shouldn't do that because my confidence is in the Lord Jesus Christ I change things or I do or do not Things based on how God is leading me based on the people that are LED of the Holy Ghost and you know the statue of a perfect man what is the Statue of a perfect man Faith godliness patience self-control you won't even believe that that's something you want to attain to unless you have confidence in the Bible which is complete trust or confidence in someone or something is the definition of faith complete trust or confidence complete completely that's confidence that's another part of confidence is you're completely there now the flip side of this though is by the way Levi if you need to go you can totally go you can go to bed or whatever if you want to stay to up to you heading out here soon so all right cool man says some I just drop out that's we be all right cool good man uh some people say some people are unconfident So Def uh what is the I'm going to Google it what is the uh opposite of confidence so confidence is something you're sure about you trust it completely and the opposite of confidence there's two of them it says distrust or skepticism I'm going to just go with skepticism because Satan's goal is not to get us to there you go that's all good it was it was fun having him on honestly I liked him having him on he's got to go to B I've talked to his dad actually his dad is preacher but skepticism is a skeptical attitude doubt as to the truth of something so the definition the opposite of confidence is skepticism Eve had complete confidence in the word of God and in God and then Satan came in and he took away that by adding some skepticism a little bit of Doubt as to the truth of something so maybe you have something usually when you people are talking you build up something in your mind that you want to say do you have something you want to say Jeremiah want me to keep on continue my thought no not really um I think before we move on to to to unconfident I think really where we reached with a with the point of confidence is that we we kind of touched on what confidence was I I think confidence other than just the dictionary definition really is something that you have to determine for yourself like what you what confidence is to you because the dictionary definition does it justice to to to its fullest it really it it says exactly what it is but everybody knows when they're confident and when they're not so they know what confidence is to them but I think really what we broke down was that truly what you should have confidence is is not in your personal ability when it comes to your everyday life when it comes to God that you should have confidence in God working through you and God God in you because man can fail but God can never fail because man is imperfect but God is perfect so it that in itself having having trust or having complete trust that something cannot fail I would say I have confidence in God because I know that he cannot fail I think really where we where we really came down to is that is confidence is important in your everyday life but really where you should truly draw your confidence is not from what your peers think and not what what everybody has has to say about you but what God has to say about you because God says you're perfect God says you're whole God says you you are you're immature God so really I mean that that's where we should be drawing our confidence from because on on an every day basis we draw our confidence off of how many times we messed up in that week before we go to Sunday morning service we drag in the most defeated people in the world because we're like man I really screwed up this week I didn't follow God the way I was supposed to but you forget look at Peter Peter denied the Lord three times but then the Lord drugging back in there that Sunday morning and he said he said bring my disciples and Peter mentioned him by name because it doesn't matter how many times we mess up if you're predestinated if you're if you're one of the ones that's supposed to be there it doesn't matter how many how far he has to drag you to get you there they're going to be one of but I think because those people like me who grew up in the message we so much Overlook our our our Gifts of being a Christian we so it's so common to us that we Overlook the fact that we have overcoming power and and the Devil beats us up so much about it because we really we Overlook so much what we have in the message that we have overcoming power that we we can have the spoken word and we can use the spoken word it's not just a men the like healing and all the gifts that are in the Bible for for the church it said he I can't remember gosh no there was a scripture in there um what the scripture say exactly I'll find it it's it's a scripture that a lot of people um attached to brother brandom only but it's really a bride scripture but it's no I think it's that but when Jesus said he said and this that I do these things and many more or these things and more or Mark 16 yeah shall you do also and a lot of people attach that scripture to brother Bram and they say that oh they were talking about him having the Messiah sign the Messiah sign is one to a generation and and showing that kind of a sign that is one to a generation but discernment is not one to a generation the gift of of of Divine Healing that is now one to a generation all those things that brother bam did as his pools to get us to the third pool and really what he said was like the bait the bait on the Reel all those things are still a part of the Bride the god that did that did not leave with brother brandham it's still in the message and I think a lot of people that grew up in the message we so overlooked that and we leave that back in brother brandom's day and we're like man if brother brandom was just here we could really have a service to shake this building down but what we forget is and and also I think now we started to attach it not just to brother brandom we started to attach it to Great ministers like brother Ron brother Donnie Reagan and all these people these Fireballs that we love to hear and we're really blessed but discernment is not just a gift that brother Ron has discernment is in if if you have the Holy Ghost God could use you in any way that he sees hey Jeremiah have you been listening hold on one second you like this have you did you listen to brother Jo Adam's sermon this Wednesday at uh brother Tim PRS no okay I didn't just just checking because yeah I want to say this this is one of the reasons why I think you probably called to preach it's my opinion is because usually when you preach um different people that are preaching different things it goes according on the same wavelength usually it's similar sermons across the board usually sometimes um but the jewi preach the sermon on Wednesday this Wednesday and one of the things you went through is that so many just like what you said so many people in the message have a favorite preacher or a favorite person to go to to get them prayed for when they're just the intercessor for God and it's not brother Joe Adams it's not brother Donnie Reagan brother Howard Carol or brother Ron Spencer it's whoever any of them can be there and your mother your sister anybody they are they are there so just encouraging you there that the thought that that is revealed that you just said that was God because brother Jo Adams just said that my dad said a similar thing in his sermon it's so take yeah it's a five it's a fivefold Ministry and um I think my pastor just recently talked about this he he or no it wasn't my pastor it was another Minister he preached about um the fivefold ministry and he used his hand to explain he's like I've got five fingers here he said now if I when my brain tells my hand to pick up this book on my desk my thumb let's just say my my he's like the thumb's the biggest one he's he's like so that that um that evangelist wants to go pick up that that book but one one finger can't pick up the book by itself you need all five fingers you need the five-fold ministry so even if you're just that little pinky right there on the end that's pretty weak on his own when you're saying the same thing your voice comes out in unison but um it's I don't it really is something something that I think a lot of people forget is that no matter who you are if you're the weakest Christian it brother brandom said that the when the weakest Christian gets on their knees hell shakes because of it and and we we so often forget that because we live an everyday monotonous life of get up go to work go to church feeling defeated because because we mess up here and there and then we let the devil beat us up about it but we forget that nobody that Liv with that lived with Jesus was perfect nobody that followed Christ was perfect nobody who's lived this message is perfect none of them I mean look look at the faults that brother brandom have look at the faults that um that jere like actually Jeremiah the prophet he said he he got so discouraged because everybody didn't like his message because he was always saying negative things but they were from the Lord that he said I'll no longer speak the word of the Lord that I I'll no longer go before the people and speak the word imagine imagine how discourage you'd have to be to turn your back on your ministry when you knew you were a prophet but yet we in our in our lives so often we let the little things of going through our daily life and and and we all have a besetting sin we all have a trouble that we go through in life no matter how big or small it is we all have something the devil really knows is our weakness and he likes to always get us if he can't let it get us to fall anywhere else he's gonna get us to fall right there and that is where he says I've got you chained he he acts like he's got a collar around our neck and he's dragging us around but we forget there's a difference between oppression and possession we go through life oppressed we don't we don't have to go through life depressed or possessed there are some occasions there are some sometimes when when demons can get so from they can become a possessive Spirit or a spirit of possession where that that has to be dealt with in a special case but the devil likes to to tell us that he's in control but he he's a bluff he's a bluff and that's the biggest Bluff of Satan is that he's not a bluff because that when he comes to you and he tells you man you had that good Ser you felt that good Holy Spirit in church and now you've come back home and and you're finding that same thing sometimes the Lord lets us go through those little things so we build our character that is not something where the devil's dragging us around the Lord's leading us through a path and's he keeps letting us bump into that until one day we're gonna knock it over and we're not g to fall down because I I had a brother he he he um it was a minister he actually somebody gave him a death threat and he was threatened the man threatened to kill him and he said that for the longest time I was was up there preaching for for months he said I was preaching perfect love perfect love love your brother love your enemy I was holding in my heart against that man who threatened to kill me he said one day I was driving home I told him I'm GNA forgive that man I'm gonna forgive him and he said after that the Lord took me from here and he moved me way over here because he said he said now that you've now now that you've done this he said you've overcome this now I'm going to take you farther than I ever have because sometimes the Lord's leading Us in circles letting us bump into the same thing before we can keep going down the path because he knows that before we got to knock this one down before we get to the next one and and I I feel like so often in the message we especially people that grew up in the message we we don't differentiate Temptation from our everyday our everyday just our besetting sins or our everyday struggles in life and we we fail to recognize the tactics of the enemy and when and when we start attaching ourselves to these spirits and we start attaching ourselves to all of these things that happen to us every day when we start to say that's my depression or that's my problem or that's my mistake you can admit to having a problem but you don't have to attach yourself that's not yours that's that box of rattlesnakes that brother Brandon talked about he said you don't have to accept it you can leave it out there on the front porch and S it back where it came from and so often when we have AET said let's just use depression we say oh I'm depressed no you're not depressed there's a devil fighting you with a spirit of depression but you got to remember if you have that Holy Spirit on the inside of you it just imagine has two magnets that are pushing against each other we have that magnet that's pulling us towards the Lord like we sing the song I Feel the pool I feel the pull but if the pull of that that magnet that's pulling you towards God is stronger than the push of that magnet that's pushing you away from him and I guarantee you it is guarantee you it is it's always going to win out but sometimes it takes a few times to really get past past that problem and past that thing so when you're going on and you're you're going through your daily life and and Satan keeps telling you all these things and telling you man you messed up again you did this you've you failing this is your problem this is this is where you're you're falling short remember that you have the spoken Wordly God said he speak under this mountain and say be moved from hi to ywn and it would be done if you have the spoken word that if you have the the grain a faith the grain of a mustard seed the smallest Faith there is that you could do that and I believe that Satan likes to keep us so Bound in the little things of our little mistakes that we can't that we can't even step forwards you know Judas was one of the one of the 12 disciples and he and and God said in the Bible that he was a demon that he was a he was an evil spirit and a demon but the Lord still called him as one of his disciples and he still went out with the rest of the disciples Judas was a demon from the pits of hell but yet he still went out with the rest of the 12 disciples with the Holy Spirit or with the with the the spirit of the Lord on him and cast cast out demons and cast out spirits and healed people he had the same ministry as the other 12 but yet a man in that condition could still he could still access the gifts of God and he could still he could still um use those gifts of the spoken word but yeah we think that in our situation in our small situation compared to what he was in just because we messed up or we fell one more time that we can't do it I I I find that very very hard to believe that Christians that and the only reason It's upsetting you is because you have a desire in your heart to be right all these other people out here on the streets when they sin they do not feel gret regret they do not feel they they're like I'm living my best life every time you see that sin or every time you let let just use cigarettes very easy example every time you see a cigarette if you know you shouldn't be smoking you feel regret when you do it because you know it's wrong when you're over when when somebody who's addicted to cigarettes in the world they don't think a second thing they're like man I can't wait to get my cigarette because they enjoy it's an enjoyment for them they're they're not they're not out here there's not something in their heart that breaks every time they sin when they walk into church they're like whatever but when you walk into church and your heart's breaking because you're like Lord I I messed up again how am I going to overcome this the only thing that makes you want to overcome is that holy spirit inside of you pushing you forwards to overcome but every time Satan bumps you into that thing and he bumps you into that besetting of sin over and he starts to beat you against the wall with it you got to remember that that is there to help you that is there to help help you get stronger that's a character builder right there it's like it's like the mes we were looking at with the fire often times wherever you're hiding behind it and God's just pushing us a little closer to the fire but us on the other side all we can all we can feel is the burn all we can feel is how much it hurts and how much we don't like it but one day we're going to bump into that thing like I said and we're gonna knock it over and then we're like Boo devil boo devil I won and that's that's usually when we get on that Mountaintop experience and we're so happy and we're like man I've done it no more struggles for the rest of my life nope Back Down in the Valley again because the Lord said yep you you you you made it you made it right about to here but I need you over here so you're gonna have a few besetting sins and a few things you're gonna have to bump into along the way it's not going to be easy but we but we let Satan just just beat us beat us down and and we let him just push us around because because we're not perfect God never asked us to be perfect like I said said Judas was not perfect but yet he was still blessed of God in that in that given time and in that a lotted time but even look at Peter when who do you think when they were sitting there at the Last Supper and Jesus said one of you will betray me who do you think they pointed at do you think they were like man there's something wrong with Judas man he's been acting real weird I'm pretty sure it's him no of all the disciples the one that probably looked the most the most like a a deceiver was Peter he was the one that was always mouthy with the Lord he was the one always spoke up against and and God even said get thee behind me Satan to Peter at one point in time so I'm the disciples were probably pointing at Peter and me like man you know it's that it's that Peter he's always arguing with the Lord but yet Peter was given the keys to the kingdom and he became the the leader of of the first of like the like the church at that time after after the Lord went off seen and look at Paul Paul was a persecutor of the Christians if if if Satan could beat anybody up it would be Paul he persecuted Christians for a living he was he was a sinful man before before the Lord came along yet God could take all of those people and he could build their life into such a testimony that we would look up to them like man we'll never be like that never be like that Paul talked about a thorn in his flesh that he had he had he had a besetting sin that he talked about in the scripture and and he prayed Lord why won't you take this away from me and the Lord said the Lord said that it needed to be there for him to grow said it had to be there so next time Satan's trying to beat you up over that box of rattles stins that he left at your door all the things that he's pushing on you just remember maybe God's left that there and said he's a little more growing to do I'm going to leave this here for a little longer I'm I'm Gonna Leave This here in his life so he can overcome it and and it'll slowly you'll just get stronger and stronger and every time you fail every time you mess up every time you dig yourself out of that pit you're going to get a little bit stronger and next time it's not going to be so hard and next time you're not even going to fall in the pit and and I I think to be honest a lot of times as Christians a lot of times we separate overcoming and we separate overcoming power and we put it out of reach a little Out Of Reach like we just need to get to overcoming power no you have overcoming power inside of you and you're just reaching another rung on that ladder to get closer to the Lord overcoming power is already within you it's just it's not something you have to achieve later on as soon as you get the Holy Ghost you have overcoming power that's that's in you from then on it's like the dog that brother Brown talked about the white and the black dog but often times we live a defeated life because we're not feeding the right dog were not focused on the message and I I personally experienced it when I wasn't focused and I was like why can't I live an overcoming life why can't I listen to the right music why can't I focus on what I'm focused to focus on every day and it was because I wasn't listening to tapes I wasn't listening to gospel music I wasn't doing the right things to feed that right dog and I felt I felt like every time I would go to church I would just be defeated and I wouldn't have been living right but as soon as you start feeding right dog and you start feeding that right spirit that spirit inside you becomes stronger and stronger and stronger and so you're just overflowing with the love of God and then you start to bless your other brothers and sisters around you but it's it's you got you got to stop stop you got to start separating yourself from Satan Satan is not not just your little buddy buddy that sits on your shoulder you got you got to separating yourself from the sin of the world that's not you wanting to do that that's something impressing upon you to want to do that it's not you walking towards the sin it's Satan pushing you towards the sin and you just got to start pushing back because it becomes easy to let the devil push you around because that's the easy path becomes easy to let the devil try to push you down the wrong road but you got to remember it's not always we we talk about the easy path and the hard path in such a a picturesque way and it's such a fairy tale but it's as simple as the hard way is maybe not doing what you feel like doing maybe maybe it's as simple as man I really wanna I really want to go watch that movie but you you remember in your heart that movie has some bad stuff in it it's easy to go watch that movie it's hard to say but I know the Lord wouldn't be please and walk the other way that's the hard path and and you're muted we can't hear you can you hear me now yeah well it's easy to say well Satan is pushing or or that I want to go watch that movie well if it doesn't line up with the word and it doesn't please the Holy Ghost you didn't want to watch that movie it was something influencing you to make you want to watch that movie they're influencing your flesh this guy but that's not you the the that that Soul inside of you that told you that little still small book that said there's some bad stuff in that movie or they that little that little feeling in your heart when you said I'm gonna go watch that movie and he said maybe you shouldn't maybe you shouldn't go watch that movie that that's the real you that's the real you saying no keep going down that hard path it's leading you up higher it's leading you somewhere better and we've become so accustom with oh wowy wowy woo I'm I'm getting beat up every day Satan fighting me so hard I'm so weak but have you once just stopped and fought back have you and it's and it's not this oh on your knees in prayer just fighting against S no it's every single day when you feel that still Small Voice in your heart and you feel that something dragging you the other way just give into that one time and go the right way and you it'll be easier and easier and easier every time when you go when you go get in your car instead of turning on music turn on a tape and see how easy it is to do it next time because there's some something in you connecting to all that it's strengthening you every single time until that that wrong dog that black dog he's cowering the corner because he does not know what to do with you now brother brand and and and God he said that we would be able to get to a point where Satan doesn't even know what to do with us and we when we get baptized with the Holy Ghost we cross that bloodline and brother brandom said that Satan can't get to us through that bloodline because if he came through the blood he would be our brother because he would be forgiven of his sins as well if he accepted Christ he'd be forgiven of his sins but he can't come through that blood line but I feel like so often we stand so close to the border of Christ and Satan we like to ride the fence where it's so easy for Satan just to reach up and grab us down and yank us down why don't you go as far away from the fence as you can and get as far away from Satan as possible to the point where you're like you you Satan who who all I know is God all these these besetting sents Oh you mean those those things that I don't do anymore I that was the old those all sound like cliches and they all sound like things that are so far Out Of Reach but it's just one step at a time and every time you bump into that thing if you fall down get back up and the more you separating your mind Satan and God and the more you separate where you are in between those it's not I'm with Satan and God's trying to grab me it's I'm with God and Satan's trying to grab me away it's not you with Satan and God's trying to save you God already saved you and if you have the Holy Ghost you are part of God and now Satan is just trying to lie to you and tell you you're not and he's trying to influence you so my my best advice would be when you go to your day and you you you think something that you shouldn't have thought or you have a desire to do something that you know you you know is wrong do what you you know is right one time and see how easy it is to keep doing the right thing because you already know in your heart whether you realize it or not you know right from wrong anybody with the Holy Ghost has a moral compass if it's been weakened then you need strengthen it by doing the right thing because every every Christian with the Holy Ghost has a moral compass for what is right and wrong that's what the Holy Ghost does for us and it says this is right and this is wrong and every time you do the wrong thing it becomes easier and easier and that's what ministers often talk about they talk about how easy it is to keep sinning but they also don't talk about how easy it is to keep doing the right thing when you build an atmosphere and we talk about building a world and going to live on it that we we can't I don't say I don't want to say we can't do that right now but I I would say it takes being it takes being more in tune with the Lord than a lot of us are in this present time but that's not saying it's too hard for us it's saying that we need to reach that level with God that we have the mind of Christ to do that but we can still create a spirit around us and create an atmosphere where we can have overcoming power over Satan because if Christ did it and we're miniature Christ then then if God before us who can stand against us clearly not Satan because if you look in the Bible he faed over and over and over again and even when he came and he tried to destroy the Hebrew children God was with them in the fire when he tried to destroy the Hebrew children at the nine God was with them in the water when he tried to when he tried to to u to get on Peter the Lord was with Peter Well we read all those Bible stories and like well God was there well God's the one who contr who do you think who do you think the Holy Ghost is who do you think's with you every single day of your life we have a blessing that Israel never had Israel had to go to the altar Israel had to go to the Ark of the Covenant to be around the Holy Spirit but we have him in our heart and he's with us constantly they brought they brought the Ark of the Covenant into battle and the Ark would go before them in battle so they would have Victory we have the Lord with us all the time so why why can we not have Victory it's a question we should ask ourselves is it we have the Lord with us all the time but are you are you taking advantage of that are you asking the Lord for help and and not just asking are you truly wanting help because help is not always the Lord taking our problems away and it's not him pulling us from one side of a tube to another it's him in okay if you want help I'm going give you a few trials to strengthen you up and and you're going to be stronger sorry I've I rambled on and on no it's not rambling it's kind of uh preaching in a way it's all was all exactly true um it's all really good again I say you probably should talk to your pastor about preaching because uh what we just saw is is a uh what is a gift a gift is something where you have something you want to portray something that you want to say and it just come comes out and all of these things you just said that that's not your opinion I didn't hear any that I disagreed with all of that is based solely in the message that's that's all exactly right and um this quote backs it up this actually goes along with what I was saying and what you were saying as well whether B said in the spirit of Truth um now I'm at old bed now and I have never one time can call the world to a standstill and ask them put your finger on one thing that he ever told me and thus saith the Lord in the name of the Lord but was but what was absolutely the truth and fact and come to pass out of the thousands times thousands of things what does what am I saying that for see I put I've put us all as volcanic dust but it's the promise of God's word therefore I cannot have confidence in myself you cannot have confidence in yourself but together we can have confidence in what has taken over ourselves the Holy Spirit has taken us over we must have confidence in that and as we place our confidence in that then the results come so ID say according to what you're saying along with it when you get the Holy Ghost and when you start fighting it isn't to where you oh well I got the Holy Ghost now no more fights brother West Wills once told me after Louisiana Camp I think in 2017 2016 something like that he said everyone's all happy and everything but they think that this is the end of the war he said it it reminds me of when they take the picture of the guy in his army uniform before he actually go out and fight the real war is when you're at a camp you're about to go fight your brother B said that you have the punch coming God Satan knows your weakness he's going to attack at this that punch com so we have confidence in what God is building in ourselves so when you make mistakes when you fall you have confidence in what God is doing in your life that's why I linked confidence with faith because brother bandam does use them interchangeably in some context as he he says in several places you got to have confidence you've got to have faith there's a highlight I have right here uh from the guy explain brother brandham says let me find here highlights 26 he says you got to believe you've got to have faith you've got to have confidence and how can how can you have confidence in anything that you don't even know where you're going and he goes through a an analogy of it or an example but we have confidence in the truth and Satan wants to pervert our confidence into doubt and skepticism of what God did for us based on our own our own mistakes so it's all good I think for a lot of people in the message though it's not that we doubt that God's able we doubt that God's willing to do it for us it's so many times we'll we'll look at a situation and we know God Is A Healer but we say is God going to heal us is God willing to do it in our is it is it for us in this situation I my pastor he he's talked about um when he was younger he never could doubt that the message was true but he always doubted was the message for me he said I I I can't argue with the fact that the message is the truth but he said is this is this message for me and I think that's really where Satan can't get all these message Believers that have sat on a Pew their whole life he can't get us to disbelieve God he can't get us to disbelieve the message but what he can do is he can get us to disbelieve it's for us and that's where every time we fall and we mess up he's like well looks like it's not for you if you are a real Christian and he likes to he I I don't know how he is for y'all but in my head he's always like well if you were a real Christian or if you really had the Holy Ghost you wouldn't have fallen right there well I I've heard a lot of ministers say and they say Well if you really you didn't have the Holy Ghost he'd be trying to tell you you did Satan would be trying to tell you you did have the Holy Ghost but if you don't or if sorry if you do have the Holy Ghost he'd be trying to tell you you don't have it but if you don't have it he'll be trying to tell you you do so just the fact that Satan's trying to tell you you don't have the Holy Ghost is a very good indication that you do and that if there if he's fighting you so hard and he's like well if you were a real Christian you you are a real Christian the only reason that that would even affect you is the fact that it hurts your heart to not be a real Christian and that's only a thought that a real Christian would have but like brother said he he he said we cannot he put us all back to volcanic dust he said we can have no confidence in ourselves we can only have confidence in God like we what what could we do and at that's at the point when when I get low and I feel like wow I mean I really messed up like what am I going to do do it's it's at that point where I don't give up on God and I don't give up on the fact that I'm a Christian that's when I look at God and I just say I can't do it on my own it's G to take it's going to take you to help me through this and that's when we really we really get down to the Brass tax of let go and let God because really when you've exhausted everything that you can do you can only do your best and put it in God's hands and um to really where well it's a I would I wouldn't say exactly that it's oh you can only do your best and put it on God's we don't want to make it where yes I'm just going to let God do everything I have confidence in God and not think that we have a part two it's but together we can have confidence in what is taken over ourselves the Holy Spirit has taken us over it's God changing our thoughts and our ways to his ways to where the person that it isn't person that I am and then I'll just leave it to God God you fight my battles I'll just St I'll just do nothing no God's changing us into being more like him to fight the battles because like what you're saying is right I'm just putting the words into it because I know people are people will think in their brain when they watch this later um oh well that I don't don't I have a part you do and is it's what the spirit we must have confidence in what s God is doing in our lives God is changing Jeremiah God is changing David and these mistakes that we make these are designed to make us stronger there's a sermon I would encourage everyone to listen to that brother Eddie bis preach preaches called um called or goly what's it called the value of the flaw it's on YouTube okay cool you're good I'm still list the uh the value of the flaw and the value of the flaw goes through we have the flaw we have a besetting sin or whatever else and and that flaw when you're a Christian what keeps on bringing you back to God over and over and over again saying oh God help me oh God save me from this flaw and a lot of times God would make it where you're not delivered immediately from that flaw because often The Pride from overcoming that flaw is worth than the worse than the actual flaw itself and so when we talk about these things you know the the the topic of the life is confidence and really what I wanted to root in is what is confidence and confidence is trust complete trust and we have a complete trust in God and I would say along with what you saying when we have complete trust we should have complete trust that God is doing something in our lives and there's a scripture Exodus 14 and 13 and Moses said unto the people fear ye not stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which he will show to you today for the Egyptians whom you have seen today ye shall see them again no more forever the Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace stand still and see the salvation of the Lord that does not mean to do nothing they still had to walk they still had to get out of Egypt they still had to fight battles with swords but God also you rain down from heaven fireballs and sun stands still and also moon stands still so we have a part we do play and we have confidence in what God is doing in our life God make it where I can play the guitar and sing so I take that and I give everything I've got with that God gave Levi The Voice Levi po the voice that he has he uses that and he songs with everything within him his dad brother isra poet as a gift of preaching which he gives everything he's got to and Jeremiah I think God's given you a gift in some parts which you will give everything you've got to God puts gift in your life and you give everything you've got and where's the where is I I preached a sermon called Stand still and fight for what has God's already given you God's going to give you a wife sure but right now stand still which means stand still in what you already have read your Bible pray every day keep working your job keep saying up money keep on building yourself up based on what you already have and God will give you these other things and these the reason why we do these things is because we have confidence in God making things happen behind the scenes while we are doing what God has called us to do I mean in the Scripture it said he has no hands but our hands and no feet but our feet so yeah I mean really when it comes down to it you can never take yourself out of the equation because God's going to do something through he's gonna do something through you do you have any more final thoughts um I want to uh save some of this for tomorrow's life maybe but do you have any more final thoughts before we end because we're got to go to bed uh not really I would just say um even in church don't don't take it as a negative if you go to church and you can't remember what the pastor talked about the next day I I I'd say because there's so many times that I've gone to church and I've not realized how much I actually caught and how much actually like rooted itself in my heart and I really it just touched my heart but it wasn't like a wow I never it wasn't just this great Revelation it was just something that just dropped in my heart and it stayed there and you'll never really know it's there until you need it and until it it it's necessary for you to have it for a battle I would say don't when you go to church and you're tired or you go to church and you're discouraged you don't feel like it it's a sacrifice of praise it's a sacrifice of worship because there's always going to be a sacrifice when you're doing something for God just don't doesn't have anything to do with our topic but tomorrow morning when you're at church tomorrow morning when you're going places don't don't forget that it just because you don't feel like it doesn't mean that it's not where you're supposed to be and because you're not having a great amazing jumping around time like everybody else just focus on the word focus on focus on what he's saying and always remember that when you come and you have a desire in your heart God is God is there for that desire only he can take a minister off his notes he can complete I I I'm G give a testimony real quick a short short testimony before drop this off one time I was standing I sit on the front row and Pastor was praying for some people up front and I was really dealing with something and I really wanted a touch from God and but it was one of those things where I really wanted I guess you could say I put a fleece before the Lord just like um I cannot remember who it was the Bible Gideon put a fleece forward Lord and I I I just wanted I wanted something special so I could know if it really really was God and not just something my pastor was saying I said Lord just have my pastor come pray for me I would just stand in there and on the front row just standing there wasn't I I don't I think I might have had my eyes closed and I was singing but my pastor finished praying for somebody turned around and walk back to his the pull pit stopped dead in his tracks waited for a second turn around walked straight to me and put his arms around me and just waited for me to tell him what was going on he and he and I talked to him later he had no idea why he was doing it and that's really just another Revelation to me that God can deal with a Minister's heart and a man's heart and draw him completely away from whatever he has he has there in his notes or whatever he has to say God could change a whole service just for you and even if it's only one one little phrase in a service it could change it could change everything for you so I think I think you really we we need to remember we have the power when we go we operate the gift and it's not well I hope the minister has something for me go in with a desire and say Lord I want you to speak to me and even if he doesn't speak directly to a need you have when you go into the church service you have the re that the the desire to Lord reveal this to me or like give me a re or Draw Me Closer to you because anytime you come in contact with God you never leave the same you either leave better or worse so that'd be that' be my my final say would just be always go with the right attitude and go with a desire whether you sit down you're just like Lord give me give me something special today like do something for me or like to have the minister say something that will that will help me even if it's simple that that's a desire and and just listen to the word intently and listen with an open heart and it's really the best the best advice they can give anybody because it really changed my life the way I look at a service don't sit there and say Bless Me If You Can preacher sit there and say Lord speak to my heart even if you don't say anything to anybody else and that'd be my best advice that's Stu leave us in prayer Jeremiah will end yes sir all right Lord Jesus we just pray that you would just be with us for the rest of the night Lord keep us in your will way as we travel on our way to our services in the morning as we're as we go to go to worship you oh Lord and fellowship with you pleas that you bless all our brothers and sisters as they're on their way give them travel and mercies that you bless the minister help them move out of the way you could just speak to our hearts oh Lord in a special way you just draw us closer to you and just give us more strength for the fight and the next week Tes be with us keep us your will and way in Jesus Christ name we pray amen amen let's see Leah J says I want to say thank you for these lives I especially enjoyed you two's conversations and
