Stu, man, we do want to pray for the sick. I felt that we were supposed to pray for the sick when I was here. We did it last year. Uh, I want to encourage you all. There's so much misunderstanding with healing. We've been sick, we've been prayed for. Some of us haven't been healed. Some of us are afraid to pray because we're afraid nothing will happen. There's a lot of stuff that happens with healing. The bottom line is, healing is very scriptural. It's just a lot of misunderstanding. Like my wife, when I pray for my wife and she's still sucking on that tube and she don't open her eyes, that's a problem for us because we're just kind of thinking seeing it as a theory. And I'm speaking and God's moving, and if it don't happen, we go on tilt. I'm just being honest. So when you're praying for your wife in a coma and she don't respond, we think we don't got nothing. And that's where we make a big mistake. And then, so are we ever even really believing, or is actually is it seeing is believing? See, when I pray for her and she doesn't even budge or change, I look up at my boy. And I only prayed about 20 seconds because it was very real. It's in your eye gate, and it's my wife. Longer I look at that, probably the more challenged that could be. I'm looking to him. I pray a 20-second Kingdom prayer. Speak life over her. I look up at my boy and smile, and it ain't a ploy. I just looked at him and said, "We can go home, buddy. We did what we came for. Mama's going to be well." And I believed that on the way home. I talked to him about not living like he has a mom in a coma. "You're going to school tomorrow, and I ain't ironing your shirt. You can iron." And we just had some fun conversations. And I can iron. I travel, but we just had some fun. In fact, when we got in there, you know, I was having jokes with my wife. She's in a coma. I crawled right up on the bed and popped her eyes open. I said, "Hey, girl. I said, we come to get you out of this nap you've been in. It's way too long." I didn't even know what I was doing. It was all for my boy. It was so all my boy didn't see was a coma in his mom. It hit him when I was standing there doing that because I didn't even know what I was doing. And I said, "Man, we just went to the grocery store and grabbed a couple things. It was pitiful, girl. I said, you're getting up." And I said, "And he thinks I'm ironing the shirt tomorrow, honey. You're coming out of this now." And I was just being lighthearted. It was for him, but what he saw was that I wasn't seeing a coma, but he was. We get out in the hall, he cried and cried and cried. He was, "I never seen my boy like that." I tried to console him, and he pushed me. "That's not my son." He was only 14, and he, he said, "You don't see what I see, Dad." And then he cried desperately. I laid in my chest and said, "I don't see what you see." And I said, "I see Jesus, son. Jesus." An hour later. An hour later. I'm not even going to try to teach on it. I just know we don't stop believing. We don't keep praying and get ourselves in more unbelief. Sometimes you can keep praying if you're in a in a place of faith, and it's hard to explain. There's a teaching on that, but most of the time when we pray the second time, we're looking for results. By the third time, we're really shook. So I just prayed one time and left. An hour later, she woke up. Never stop believing. When I pray for the sick, I see three things in my life. I'm a work in progress. I'm growing. Everybody. We always want to see instant. The teacher says, "Well, everything Jesus did was instant." Well, except for the blind man. He asked what he saw when he prayed for him again. But everything else was instant. We're walking way far from where Jesus walked. Let's just be honest. Some of us are struggling to have a consistent good attitude, and we want to do miracles. That's just grow with God. I see three things in my life. I see things change instantly, and I see people healed instantly, and it's so fun. I see people get somewhat changed where they actually know and acknowledge that they're better and different, and they don't have as much pain, or they can move what they couldn't move, but it's not totally free. Y'all follow me? And then I see that thing that we seem to dread and run from, where nothing happened. I used to hate that thing. Like, used to frustrate me, and I'd strive and pray and pray and pray. I'd be on the streets, and people would say, "No, it still hurts." I'm like, "Go, can I just pray again?" Yeah. And I would get frustrated. In my early years, I remember one lady said, "Well, thanks for trying." I was like, "Trying? I was just mad." But the Lord taught me how to believe and to never stop believing. So now I got tons of testimonies where people in my city, I've prayed for them, and he didn't see nothing. And I look at him and smile and say, "Man, I know you got to get back to work. Thanks for being so gracious to let me even take the time to pray and let me into your situation. Listen, he's amazing and he loves you. And he said, if I lay hands on the sick, believe in they'll recover. I wouldn't do this if I didn't think nothing would happen. He's good, and he's a healer. Keep checking your body. Keep thanking him for what he's doing. Have a great day. God bless you." And I take off in faith. I'll bump into that person. I, I got so many stories for you. I'll bump into that person. There was two people in the same day that didn't get healed of the same situation. What's the chance you running into somebody of the same situation? Plantar fasciitis. They both had it. A man and a woman, and neither one of them changed. And stood there and told me. And the one lady is the one that said, "Thanks for trying." One month later. What's the chance of running into these people in my big city? I got a lot of people in my city. I run into both these people within a five-day period. A month later, five, seven-day period. The lady was first. She come running over to me, and she said, "Oh my gosh, hey, I didn't know if I'd ever run into you again." And I'm looking at her thinking, "Who is this lady?" Because I didn't recognize. I didn't know. And I said, "How do I?" "Did I pray for you?" "Yes, over at Walmart. Plantar fasciitis." "Oh, I remember you. You cost me sleep, you know what I'm saying?" She, "I was mad." Well, here's the thing. In service, in a service as a pastor and a minister, I had never seen plantar fasciitis not healed ever. I've never seen anybody say they had it and not get healed in my Christian life in a in a service. So when I prayed for her, I actually told her that, and I prayed for her. Nothing changed. This is bad. Then I go over to Gander Mountain to buy some fish and stuff. I wasn't going to pray for people. I was going to buy fish and stuff, but I saw a man hurting. So I slipped over and and said, "What's going on?" He said, "Plantar fasciitis." Yes. I said, "Oh, here we go. I'm coming at you." Boom. Nothing changed. I met the lady. She said, "You know, you prayed for me." And I said, "Yeah." She said, "And it was just, I was thinking about it, and I got home, and it was hurting, and I just thought it was so nice and kind that you took the time." And she said, "But then I didn't really think much about it, and I went to bed." She said, "In the morning, it's always the worst. It's like I'm walking on glass." She said, "I woke up, and I got out of bed." She said, "But because there was no pain, I didn't think about my feet." She said, "I found myself all the way in the bathroom, and I went, 'What?'" And it hit her. She shouldn't be in the bathroom with no pain because she could barely walk in the morning. And then she just started to cry. And she told me, this is a month later, she said, "I've not had one pain or symptom since the morning after you prayed." The whole time I'm walking around wondering why she didn't get healed. And the whole time she's enjoying no pain for a month. So I think I need to grow in what I believe. Five days later, maybe don't quote me on it, maybe seven. I think it was five. I bump into the man. Same place. He must fish to Gander Mountain. He says, "Hey, hey." I said, "Hey." I recognized him. He told me the same story. I don't remember if his was the next day or later that day, but nonetheless, from the time we prayed to whenever it changed, which was within 24 hours, he had no trace of plantar fasciitis. And I'm walking around wondering why I prayed for these people and they didn't get healed. Faith is not a point in time. Faith is a position of your heart to believe what he'll do what he paid for. It's not a hit or miss, win or lose. It's not a 30-day money back, try me, see if you like me. Faith is, I believe. So you can't lose when you live in faith. Christian people that you're praying for that aren't Christians, they don't understand this, but a Christian has one response when they're being prayed for for healing. Thank you, God, for what you're doing in my life. I've met people that said, "I've I've quit standing up for prayer because I never get healed." That's detrimental. When you say, "Because I never get healed," you're seeing yourself apart from healing. You, you've labeled yourself for no results instead of communion with God. "Thank you for what you're doing in my life." Going to bed at night, "God, I so appreciate the work you're doing in my body. Thank you for redemption and restoration." Waking up in the morning, blessing him instead of saying, "Oh, here we go again. Another day." You get what I'm saying? That's how I see bodies change that we haven't seen change. When we pray the first time, I've seen people that couldn't move a limb stay in this place and things begin to work. It's phenomenal. It's called faith. Go to bed thankful. They don't get in bed and have their hip bite them and say, "Man, why wasn't I healed? I'm done. Ask for prayer every time I pray. I never get healed." Nope. The hip bites him, and they say, "God, I so thank you for your unstoppable love, and I thank you for the work you're doing in my body. Thank you for touching me and changing me and making me whole." And you crawl in bed, and you go to bed thankfully and in faith. That's how the hip changes. You never take on the identity of what you're going through. You always take on the identity of what he went through. Are you with me? So please pray for the sick. Don't get long. The longer you pray, the more you'll probably get in unbelief. I have a friend back home that says anything after two sentences is probably unbelief because we're trying to move God. We think our prayer heals the sick. Who's ever prayed for the sick in the room? Anybody? I'm just curious. Okay, so you'll understand this when I say this. Sometimes when we go to pray for the sick, the first thing that hits us is what we're going to pray, how we're going to pray, and we're more focused on our prayer and trying to make our prayer sound right, powerful, and anointed. But I got good, freeing news for you. Your prayer has never healed anybody, and it never will. It's His finished work. You can say, "Be whole in Jesus' name," and that's plenty when it's backed by a revelation. Amen. Your prayer does not heal the sick. It's His finished work. It's His mercy. It's His compassion. All we do is minister something that we see. Are you with me? So I teach people, especially on the streets, you don't go praying all these long prayers, and then you end up not even touching what you're praying for because you prayed for 10 other things. That's what we do. So sometimes we, "Hey, can you bless the food?" And now we got to reheat it because five minutes later, you prayed for everything but the food. Just say, "Thank you, Lord." I tell people, take about five, six seconds to pray. Watch this. I'm walking down the street, man. "What's going on? Why you limping so bad?" "Oh, man, I tore my ACL." True story. Military, uh, clothing. He's got his his stuff on, man, and I, and he's buff. And I said, "You tore your knee, man?" "I said, military basic training?" "No, just this and that." But he said, "They want to do the surgery and place attendant stuff. I'm just, they said it'll never heal. I'm just walking it out, man. I just don't want to get no surgery." I said, "Man, that thing can heal. I said, let me do something. It'll be amazing." I didn't say a word about Jesus. I just snuck attack him. I didn't give him a chance to say no. I just said, "Let me do something." And I jumped on my knees, which freaked him out and humbled him because this white-haired man's on his knees on the sidewalk. And I grab his knee and I speak over it, and I just pray, "Knee, you be completely healed. No more pain. ACL, you be restored in Jesus' name. Father, thank you for your love." And I, I look up at him, and he's just staring at me. And I said, "Go ahead, man. I want you to walk and be honest. Don't make nothing up. Talk to me. Walk. Walk on it. Just walk like it ain't never hurt you." He walks about from me to where you're laying with a little girl, turns around, swears. "What the?" And the Lord struck his knee. No, I'm kidding. [Laughter] Kidding. He said, "What the bleep?" No, he didn't see. I never seen that happen, but I've seen a lot of people swear. I've seen three men at the back of a pickup truck and watched his leg change, and their eyes saw it, and they're all swearing. It's all they know. You think God was shocked because he swore? You think God's grabbing Jesus's ears and covering him, doing the free monkey thing? He's not shocked. He already healed him. He knew what he was going to say. It's all he knows. God's merciful. Who knows? In a minute, he can understand that the last thing on his mind is God, but God had him on his mind. And you made to telling that now. You watch this military cry and get struck with the reality of the love of God. It's just a fun thing. That's why I said, "Whatever city you're in, heal the sick there." So it must be the will of God to heal. He must want to heal if he says, "Whatever city you're in." He sent 70 more outside of the disciples, which is a sign of the church. He must want to heal, and he must want to touch that military guy through the tool of healing. And now I have access to his heart. Right? So please pray for each other. Pray for people. Pray for people in public. This is how Abilene can can get touched by the spirit of God. You're out in the highways, the byways, you're on your job, somebody's hurting, man, offer to pray. The worst that can happen is nothing. But we don't believe nothing. The worst that can happen is nothing. But I guarantee you this, if you don't pray, you got nothing. And if you don't sow, nothing's going to grow. You'll find two situations, lots of different sicknesses, but two situations. People that'll know if they're healed because it's symptomatic. And if they were healed, they would know it. And then you have people that have things that come and go, and you'll hear them in conversation in the grocery line talking about they're so thankful they don't have a migraine today, and they thought today'd be the day because they've been hitting them pretty regular. And you know what I'm talking about? When you hear those conversations, be bold and step right in. I use this line with a lot of people. It's, "Don't be stealing my line now." No, I, I use this line when they look at me funny. I say, "Stop. Listen. Do you think I'm asking to pray for you because I already know nothing ain't going to happen?" Amen. "I'm not even from this town. I'm passing through. I ain't selling you nothing. I ain't going to hand you a card to my church. I'm not even trying to pray nothing with you. I just want to pray for you because I see you're hurting and I believe God loves you and I've seen him touch so many people." Come on, man. If I knew nothing would happen already, why would I offer that? Gets them every time. I rarely have somebody tell me no. In fact, sometimes I just tell people, "Listen, I want to do something, and please don't say no." "Say no to what?" "Well, don't say no." "Okay." And I say, "Say no to what?" "I want to pray for you." And they go, "I say, don't say no." And they don't say, "Say no." It's just fun. I was in a Rite Aid and the manager wouldn't let me pray for him. It's still the talk of the town. The pastor said that healing is so affected our community. It's still a talk of our town. The manager of the Rite Aid said he can't let me pray for him because he doesn't believe anything I'm saying. And I said, "I wasn't asking you to. I believe. Now let me pray." See, he was trying to get rid of me, but you can't that quick. Come on. We have all these beliefs. We think they have to have faith. No, we represent the kingdom. These signs follow those that believe, not those that are in trouble that need prayer that believe. We're representing the kingdom. I just looked at him unfazed. I said, "No, I said, we don't have a problem. I believe. I said, let me pray." "No," he said, "I got to go to photo, blah, blah, blah." I said, "Well, this guy coming up the hall, he's my friend. We're going to grab hands, we're going to pray for you. I'm going to grab this liquid soap and these couple things I need. I'm going to check on you, okay? Because God's going to touch you. I believe it with all my heart. He's going to touch you." He needed carpal tunnel surgery. It was so extreme. He had a brace on, and we were afraid that he was going to get damaged permanent because he was so cut off and numb. But he had it in two days. Surgery was two days. It was the best they could schedule him. I grabbed my friend, we started to pray. I turned to grab my liquid soap, and he, the manager, lifted his voice and said, "Now you have me really afraid, man. You're freaking me out. You got me very afraid." I looked, I said, "What are you, what are you talking about?" He has his brace already off. I'm watching this stuff now. You can think I'm that sicko that I'm standing here lying and making that up and have some weird need to tell you a story that ain't true. True. What would be my motive in that? Or I've experienced this, and he's freaking out. And he said, "I said, what happened?" He said, "My hand. I totally feel it, and I can move it." I said, "Listen, man, just because you don't believe in him doesn't make him not real." That's what I said. And I said, "He happens to be my king, and he lives in me. And sir, he wants to live in you." So now I'm preaching loud in his Rite Aid store because he's the manager. He started it. But here's my point. If I don't step out in faith and I don't put myself in a position for these things to happen, why would they ever happen? I could live 25 years of a Christian life and walk by a thousand of those situations and never give myself an opportunity to see God move, or never give God an opportunity to move. Let's pray for the sick, man. If you're nervous, step out. Be a Christian Nike commercial and just do it. You got a million reasons to talk yourself out of it, but you got one reason: just go. You there for. And when you go, whatever city you're in, what city, whatever he'll, what sick, the whatever. And the sounds pretty simple to me. So wherever you are, and whoever they are, it works. You got a green light. You're not waiting for a yes. You have one. If you're waiting for a yes, your apprehensions, you'll think is is a no. So let's just pray for the sick. So tonight, we're going to do it. When you pray for the person with migraines that doesn't have one, or somebody that has symptoms, say, "You hear a lady saying, 'You know, I just had my annual female checkup and they found a cyst on my ovary. I don't even know it was there. They're very concerned, blah, blah, blah,' but she don't have no symptoms." My goodness. Just tap her and say, "Hey, honey. You girls can get away with this so easy. You girls can do it so easy." You just tap her. "Hey, oh my goodness, I heard what you just said. Feel compassion. God makes me cry all the time. I weep for people I don't even know. Listen, I really want to pray for you." They're they're freaked out. "Why are you crying? Like, why do you care?" "Because he's real, and I see you're hurting, and I believe he can change it. Come on, let's pray. You're going to love it." I've done this so many times in my life, more times than I can probably remember. You pray for her. You said, "Let me just pray for you. We're not going to make a scene. Nobody even know what we're doing." "Father, I thank you for your love for her. God, I thank you that this thing disappears off her ovary. God, that when they look in there, they see nothing. That there'd be no complication in her life. Jesus' name." So awesome. So if God's love never fails, that's not fail to love. And if it's impossible for God, nothing is impossible for God. Nothing is impossible for God. I know what that really means, but I like that. Nothing. So it ain't about nothing because nothing's impossible for God. So if, if I pray, I'm going to get something. Are you with me? So here's what we're going to do tonight, real quick, 'cause it's late. If you have a condition in your body, this is my first group. You have a condition. It's going to be real quick. It's going to be seem too quick, but you participate and don't you talk yourself out of it and think it's too quick. I live this way. I'm doing this every weekend, and I'm seeing way too much for you not to participate. Okay? If you have a condition in your body that's not symptomatic, that it's not symptomatic, it's not bone on bone, it's not something impaired, or it's something that if you were healed, you'd really have no physical way to tell because it's internal, it's in your blood, it's it's something you'd need checked up on. It doesn't have symptoms. Y'all with me? I need you, and only you, right now to stand to your feet. That's my first group. You have something in your body that if you were healed, there'd be no way to tangibly testify because there's no symptom attached to it. You're going to run into these situations in the public, right? So this is a training time. This is something I'm teach, empower, and train you to to do this. Okay? Thanks for standing. Anybody else? Are we waiting on anybody? Stand up if if you fit that description. Please don't find a reason not to stand if you fit that description. Thank you. No, it's good. I saw you, honey. Stand up back there. Thanks for standing up. Thanks. Don't stand in your seat. The only reason I'm asking because I feel like I had a couple people holding out. It's late, and we got plenty of people to pray for. Why am I holding out? Because I feel like not everybody's up that needs to be. All right, now, some of this stuff in the lives we've chosen and lived, some of it's bloodstream stuff, some of it doesn't have symptoms, but it's there, right? Y'all know what I'm saying? You all know what I'm saying. Now, listen, there's I got good news for you. There's a thing called redemption. I used to focus on it and teach it just specifically. I don't do it as much anymore, but it all flows in the parameter of healing. But a lot of times, we're carrying things from our former life in our in our new life because we think we brought it on ourselves, we deserve it, and we made better sleep in it. We made our better. We're sleeping in it. But here's the truth. You're cleansed of everything you've ever done. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things become new. So if some of you stood up for some of this reason that I'm talking about, something in your blood because of lifestyle choices, something that was contacted and contracted because of that needles, throw, miscut, whatever. If you can, if you can look in your heart and I can say, if you knowing what you know now could go back and do things different, would it look different? And you go, "Yes." Then I'm not talking about the man we're remembering. I'm talking to the new man. Old things pass away, and behold, all things. I have seen countless incurable STDs healed and leave people's bodies. Countless hepatitis. I couldn't possibly tell you how many people I've seen healed of hepatitis. You got to understand that I live this way. I'm in these kind of settings. Countless. I've got people that have emailed me with their age reports, three months negative, negative, negative, and then they get dismissed from the government list. How cool is that? Here's the thing. You can't change where you've been, but you can change when you change. God doesn't see you for where you've been. He sees you for what you've become. Mercy triumphs over judgment. So you don't get what you deserve. You get what he paid for. So if you can sincerely say, "Man, I did this. I wish I wouldn't. I know better now. If I could do it over, I would." But I can't. "God, thanks for having mercy on me, forgiving me, and loving me." I'm telling you, that thing can come out of every single person in this place if that thing fits. If if that's your situation. Are you all with me? Yes, sir. Countless. See, countless incurable STDs. Countless. I'm not being arrogant. I'm trying to tell you it's been a whole lot. Are you with me? I saw a man in a Mennonite church that was in such a depraved place when he was a teenager that he took a blade and mutilated his genitals and his penis. Mutilated his freshly new wife knows firsthand that he's mutilated. He stands up on an altar call like this in a Mennonite church. I don't know what's wrong with him. I just called him out, spoke over his life, kind of spoke his life in his journey. Everybody watched him grow up. They're all crying. The fear of the Lord hit the room because they're like, "How's this man know what he's been through?" It wasn't me. I didn't know. The Lord knows. I didn't know his situation. I just raised my hands, and we prayed for the redemption of their lives. Next morning, I come in, and they are standing along the wall, and they can't talk. He's shaking and looks like he needs an ambulance. She's crying, and they're asking for me and the pastor. We come get him in the office. I'm like, "What is going on with this guy?" Like, keep, can't hardly function. When he got home, everything was normal on his body, and it was as if he never touched his body with a blade. And his wife confirmed it and was a mess. And we just talked and prayed, and he came around a little. And I said, "Look, I know you're overwhelmed, but it's real, man. I mean, take a walk to the bathroom and verify it again if you need to, buddy, but you got to get used to living home." 'Cause he couldn't function. He looked like he needed an ambulance because in his mind, this can't happen because he did that to himself. And God said, "I know what you did, but I'm God. I'll breathe into dirt and a man jumped up. I can replace the flesh you chopped away." I watched that in a Mennonite church. You see why I'm the way I am? I got a lot of things in in my history with God. Y'all ready? You sitting near them? Touch somebody. You guys reach out and touch one of your fellow brothers. Touch somebody. If you stood up, here's all I want you to do. If you stood up for prayer, this is all. I don't even pray yet, guys. We'll pray together in a second. Here's what I want you to do. If you stood up, one thing I want you to do. "Father, I believe you love me, or you'd have never sent your son." I want you to believe that, and I want you to live there for the rest of your life. Agreed? "Father, I know you love me, or you'd have never sent your son." The people that are ready to pray, I want you to pray this. "All sickness, all sick, all disease, all disease, all weakness, all weakness, you leave. You leave in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name, and never come back. Never come back. Every symptom, you go. You go, and never come back. Never come back. Completely whole. Completely whole. In the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen." Good. Grab your seats quick. See, I told you it's going to feel and sound too simple, but it's not. It was an awesome price paid for us to believe what we're doing. This part can be fun. Don't be afraid of this part. So if that was my first group, who's my second group? Symptoms that you'll know if you're healed. I don't want exaggeration in this room. I don't want exaggeration in this room. I don't want you to try to make the first person that prayed for you feel better or not feel bad. That's that's not go there. We want legitimate results. We want to see you healed. We don't want to see you exaggerating anything. If you have symptoms in your body, have sickness, anything less than wholeness, that if you were healed, you would know because you could check it and you would have verification because of movement, pain, grinding, whatever. I need you to stand to your feet. Is there anybody that can't stand or would rather not stand because it's hard to stand and you'd rather sit, and we'll pray for you? I need to see you quick. I didn't cover that. I didn't think I saw anybody, but okay. Okay, please stand if that's you. Don't stay in your seat. Don't be afraid to be prayed for. Let's just give God a chance to touch us tonight. Anybody else? Stand to your feet. You got arthritis symptoms and you can tell and you can feel it, and if you look into that area as you're sitting there and you know it's there, when you're not standing, why wouldn't you stand? I feel like there's some arthritis still sitting that needs to stand. Some symptoms. Good. That was six people. That was awesome. No, why would I hear that? Because because this is real. God's about to move. He doesn't want you sitting. He wants you believing. Don't just get used to things. "Well, you know, it comes with my job." Well, there's nowhere in my Bible that says your job has the power to break you down. You have to break down. Well, but the guy that fixed my plumbing, so he meets my fisherman friend on the river in a boat because they're bass fishing, and he's fishing in his boat. He's fishing his boat. He goes up to my fisherman friend. He said, "Man, you're in my hole." And he laughed. He said, "I was trying to get here." I said, "Man, he's there." He said, "Yeah, they've been laying here, haven't there?" He said, "Yeah." He said, "You getting them?" He said, "Oh, yeah." He said, "Man, I'm just excited." He said, "I'm thankful." He said, "Before, I'd have been mad about this." And he gets talking to him. He says, "I had the most incredible experience. I went to this guy's house to fix his plumbing, and he asked me how my knees were." And I said, "Well, my knees are shot. I've been a plumber my whole life." And he just said, "Can I pray for you?" He said, "That man got down in his kitchen and prayed for my knees." He said, "I was so shook up, I didn't know what to do because I felt God touched me, and I knew my knees would change. I could just feel strength from in my knees." He said, "I ran outside in his backyard and stood behind his house and was crying because I didn't want him to see me." "Well, I seen him out. I was like, 'Where'd he go?' He's out there." And I'm like, "Oh, he's getting wrecked." He tells my friend this whole story, and my friend says, "You know, I got a guy that lives like that. He's a good friend of mine." He said, "Where were you at?" He said, "I was over in West York." He lives in West York. "What was his name?" He said, "It wasn't Dan Mohler." "That's his name." He said, "Yeah." He said, "You went to his house with with bad knees? You going to get prayed for?" This guy said, "It changed my life. It got me on fire for God. I feel like I'm surrendered now." And he said, "I'm willing to talk about him with you." He said, "Everything about my life changed." Listen, man, I'm carrying the kingdom. You're carrying the kingdom. He's fixing my plumbing. He's a plumber, but his knees was in trouble. I ain't losing nothing by praying for him, right? I'm not even taking a risk. It's just what love would do, right? After that, a man comes, delivers my freezer. Precious black man. He has a young black gentleman with him, real young guy, his apprentice, he's just learning and delivering, he's training him. They come in, they said, "Push the freezer in." And I said, "Thanks, guys, man." And I said, "He said something about his body and his job's getting harder because of my back and this." I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. I said, we got to pray for your back." He said, "What?" I said, "We got to pray for your back." I said, "Listen, man, God." And I started talking about the Lord. Prayed for his back, and he said, "That's amazing. You just stepped out and prayed for me." I said, "Check your back." He's like, "What? What?" He's getting all fired up. So I said, "Listen, you got a son. You got a son." He's at 18. She said, "He's 19." I said, "You're so worried about him, you don't realize you're doing this, but you're pushing him and you're pushing him in the direction you don't want him to go. You're you're being too much on him. You're being too much a dad." Or you follow me? I said, "Your fear is pushing him." I said, "You got to stop it." He looked at the boy and said, "Do you hear this, man?" He said, "I hear him. He said, this is what we were talking about our whole way over here, wondering if I'm pushing him too much." Come on. You can't make this stuff up. I said, "Well, you are. So stop it now." He's working. He's got all my information on the delivery slip. He ain't supposed to contact me or write down my contacts, or he broke a rule. And he asked me to just oversee that and forgive that.
