10:45 AM "The Laws Of Acceleration" Part 2 Pastor Reginald W Sharpe Jr , Sunday, January 21,2024.

46:33 Grab your Bibles. Come to Luke chapter 5. Oh, yes, yes, yes. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes thank you lord i'm holding it together luke chapter five verse one and six it's gonna get better and it's gonna work out it's gonna work out it's gonna work out it's got to work out Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Yes. Hallelujah!

47:25 Can I give you two words? And I promise you I want you to act like you got good sense. I'm just going to give you these two words. And you'll know exactly what I mean when I say these two words. I want you to hold your neighbor on the shoulder and just holler these two words in their ear. Say all things. And we know Luke chapter 5 verse 1 through Y'all can't do this to me again I got to preach today I'm gonna preach today I'm gonna preach I'm gonna preach today For we know all things.

48:28 Luke chapter 5 verse 1 through 6 Luke chapter 5 I'm talking about the laws of acceleration Now Y'all ain't got Not Now law at the 1045 service Because Because we were Y'all can't do it You can't do it We not gonna cut up No we not Uh uh I got to give y'all something to chew on.

49:22 Luke chapter 5, verse 1 through 6. I feel what you feel. Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Genesaret and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake. the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets he got into one of the boats the one belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little way from the shore then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat and when he had finished speaking he said to Simon put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch Simon said okay now respectfully master we worked all night but have caught nothing yet if you say so i will let down the nets and when they had done this they caught so many fish that their nets we're beginning to break thank you may be seated I want to talk about the laws of acceleration I can't give you everything because y'all not y'all we on the first Sunday of January January 7th we had some church with a capital C and we got caught up on the end of verse 6 because all I was trying to whispered. I was just trying to tell y'all something the Lord told me in my private study that if the nets were beginning to break, it means they didn't break. And we went to hollering and jumping and running and y'all didn't get none of the sermon.

51:03 But you got the sermon you needed. Because somebody has not broken yet. Because you were reminded that just because you start to break doesn't mean that you will end in brokenness. Minister Tony is doing better by the way she's feeling better praise God can we thank God for that amen amen thank God for we thank God we thank God we thank God we thank God we thank God we thank God glad you're better and so the laws of acceleration this year God has spoken it over our church and our lives this year that this is the year of acceleration everybody say the year of acceleration so on the first Sunday I was supposed to show you a sign I don't know if The media team still has it. But there's this sign that you see sometimes while you're driving down the road. There it is. And read what it says. What does it say?

51:54 Minimum speed. Now, sometimes when you're driving, you see speed limit. That means you can't go any faster without being held accountable by the law. But while you're driving down the road on a stretch of land, if you see minimum speed, that means... Thank you. it ain't nothing but you in the wind at your back right you can drive you can do that thing and you get in trouble in this zone for driving too slow it becomes hazardous for you and other passengers if you don't drive fast enough hear me in the spirit with your good ear as they say down in Memphis, Tennessee. If you don't move fast enough in this season with the dreams and the plans and the ideas and the vision that God has given you and us, we become hazardous to our future and the people around us. Some of us have sat on dreams long enough. You've had that thought in your mind long enough and you've done nothing with it. And God is saying, I'm putting you in a minimum speed zone this year for you to get all of your energy, all of your focus, all of your partnerships, all of your dreams together. And I need you to go as fast as you can to accomplish it because this is the year of acceleration. Just like we're going to see a minute in the text, they were fishing all night. They caught nothing. But when they got Jesus in the story, their post Jesus experience was a lot different than their pre-Jesus experience I really can say that and go sit down and I just gave you the gospel because the gospel truth is that your life looks better post Jesus than it did pre-Jesus and even when you find that there's a storm with Jesus I can handle my storms, I can handle the pressure, I can handle the disappointments differently with him than I would if I didn't have them at all

54:00 having Jesus in our lives us partnering with God is going to bring some acceleration in your life I need all of my note takers to get your phone out your pencil out because these are the three things I wanted to tell you all last week and I could not well two weeks ago and I could not tell you but before I give you these next points I'm not going to stay here long but I at least have to give you this so that you have all the laws of acceleration these are principles these are a recipe if you will they are directions instructions for you to outline your life with this year so that all of us can see the hand of God on our lives are y'all ready for that kind of life are y'all ready for God to do some things in 2024 that have not been done in the last few five six years of your life I talked about in the eight o'clock service and the one o'clock service on the first Sunday that Sir Isaac Newton, the physicist and scientist, created the laws of motion.

55:00 And the second law of motion says that for an object to accelerate, there are two things, two variables that are necessary. It is the mass of that object and the force that moves it. Mass is what you're made of. Force is the energy that pushes you and propels you. So something has to move it. If there's going to be speed, if there's going to be acceleration, there's a force that comes and moves that object now check this out you can see it in your head because it makes real good sense when you get your buggy in the grocery store and it's empty you don't have to put that much force behind it because the buggy is all the shopping cart whatever y'all call it up here in the midwest because y'all still calling stuff pop that's really soda but that's another that's another conversation for another day when you get that empty buggy and you push it, you can almost tap it and it rolls. But you start loading that up with crates of water and start loading it up with watermelons and start loading it up with boxes and all kinds of grocery and rice bags, whatever you're going to buy, drinks and chips, whatever you're buying.

56:07 The more that's in it, it requires more force to move it. God is saying, oop, this is where you listen. I can move you with all the stuff in you but it won't take as much effort if you empty yourself Some of us have so much in us that's not even worth being there. We got people connected to us. We have habits in us. We have unhealthy coping mechanisms. We have sin in us. We've got ways of being. We snappish. We're mad. We're angry. Our personalities, there's no fruit of the spirit in us. And God is saying, I can push you where you need to go, but that's going to make it a little bit slower. But if you do like the song says, Lord, I'm available to you. My will I give to you. I'll do what you say do.

56:59 Use me, Lord, to show someone the way and enable me to say my storage is empty. And I'm available to you. Some of us need to pray this year more. Lord, get rid of anything in me. Slowing down my acceleration. Isn't it the funniest thing in life? After the breakup, you start looking better. your edges get I mean everything just start how you get cuter after you left them because there's something about dropping unnecessary baggage now I can be free to be happy again and my skin clears up and I'm back in the gym Somebody say you need these laws, you need these laws, you need these laws. Because if there's going to be acceleration, your mass, which is what you're made of, and the force of the eternal supernatural God is going to come alongside you and push you where you need to go.

58:03 But it doesn't happen unless you get these. So number one, here it is. We must, according to this text, we must find hope in our history. Y'all got that? that's number one y'all didn't get that two weeks ago because we were dancing and we were celebrating over the fact that our nets didn't break and neither did our brains ain't nothing wrong with that but i want you to get this we must find hope in our history that's one then number two for my note takers and i hope that's everyone we must know following god's voice creates victory we must know following god's voice creates victory i'm gonna show us all to you in the text. I'm just going to give it to you in case we shout again. Number three, number three, number three, we must know risk is a part of our reality. We must know risk is a part of our reality. This is one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible. Peter and the fishermen have been out fishing all night and then here comes Jesus. He wants to preach in the boat, tells him push a little bit away from the shore. Jesus stands in the same place where he just caught nothing. Jesus is preaching.

59:05 Then when Jesus gets finished, the fishermen over there preparing their nets for the next night of fishing. They're washing their nets. And then Jesus says, hey, hey, hey, Pete, launch out into the deep and prepare for a great catch. Pete and them like, Jesus. Master. We've been out here all night and we have not caught Jack. We haven't caught a minnow, a tadpole. We haven't caught anything and then Peter says but if you say so I'll go out there again and when he did what Jesus said it cost so many fish that the nets were streaming and were almost broken because it's something about listening to Jesus's words it's something about being obedient even when it doesn't make sense to your cerebral cortex but what gave him the hope to follow jesus was that he found hope in his history we're in luke chapter 5 but if you go backwards to luke chapter 4 you're gonna see around verse 38 39 that this isn't the first time jesus and peter's had an experience jesus went to his house went to peter's house and peter's mother-in-law was sick luke 4 verse 38 39 i believe his mother-in-law was sick his mother-in-law was sick and Jesus healed the mother-in-law it's right there it is let's read it after leaving the synagogue Jesus entered Simon's house Simon's name is eventually going to be Peter now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever and they asked him about her next verse next verse next verse then he stood over her and rebuked the fever spoke to the fever and it left her Thank you.

1:00:46 immediately she got up and began to get in the kitchen and cook some fried chicken collard greens collard greens black eyed peas and cornbread she got in the kitchen and went back to serving but after jesus spoke it happened immediately now listen i can't stay here and don't y'all cut up i can trust jesus in chapter five because i've already seen him fix something in chapter four If he can fix a fever in chapter 4 Why I'm worried about fish in chapter 5 So I can trust him to lunch out Even when it doesn't make sense to me Because I know his word works So if I just work his word His word will keep working He spoke to a fever and that got fixed So why can't he tell me how to fish So the first law of acceleration is I gotta have hope in my history Don't come in 2024 acting brand new don't come back and I'm just so sad I'm just so broken I don't know what else gonna do no you know what you're gonna do the same God that was with you in 2018 the same God that covered you in 2019 the same God that carried us through a whole pandemic from March 2020 up until February 2022 is the same God who's gonna do it again y'all got that now also second thing following his voice creates victory. All he did was just listen to Jesus say it.

1:02:10 Go on out there. Now it made no sense because these fishermen in the first century were commercial fishermen who would fish at night time because they would use tremble nets. T-R-A-M-M-E-L. You can Google it because I got Googlers in here who are going to check me anyway. Tremble nets. They would tie their nets to two boats and run through the water and come up with a catch. But if you fish in the daytime the fish will see the net and the fish will send out a text message to the other fish and say hey y'all they out here trying to get us y'all better run so you don't fish during the daytime you fish at night because the fish can't see the nets so jesus gives them a nighttime assignment in the daytime and it's absolutely absurd you have not walked with jesus long if you have not been told to do something that don't make sense yet oh yeah you will look crazy sometimes yeah when you're walking with jesus turn another cheek which one Lord because I got something turn another cheek for who turn another cheek for why love your enemies why pray for them who hurt me no I can throw hands I mean we got other options Jesus we can get to prayer eventually but can I let them know these hands work first Loving people who are unlovable, being kind, fruits of the spirit, being patient.

1:03:35 That's absurd. You want me to tithe 10% of everything I earn? Lord, I'm already struggling with the 90. But when you follow his voice Victory will always follow you Oh, that's tweetable When you follow his voice Victory Will always follow you Did y'all get that? Alright, then number three, here it is Risk is, we must understand Risk is a part of the reality It's a risk to go fishing But you gotta risk something Where my dreamers, where my entrepreneurs Let me see your hands. Those of you who started a business, those of you trying to go back to school and finish your degree. Come on, raise your hand, raise your hand. Those of you who are dating again, it's risky. Risk. Especially when the dating pool is...

1:04:32 Somebody said there's pee in the pool, pastor. It's a risk to love. It's a risk to dream. It's a risk to trust God. But every place, see, businesses and entrepreneurs use the word risk. Somebody say risk. But Christians use the word faith. Faith is synonymous with risk. Everywhere you see the word faith, you can replace it with risk. Now risk is the substance of things hoped for. and the evidence of things not said. Without risk, it's impossible to please God. The one with the issue of blood, Jesus turned around and said, your risk has made you whole. Y'all gonna sit there and look at me like I ain't talking to you. Here's an old school hymn we used to sing.

1:05:25 We've come this far by risk. Leaning on the Lord. Trusting in his holy word. He's never failed me yet. If you're gonna exercise your faith, You gotta be willing sometimes to take a risk. It may not make sense. You may not know how it's gonna finish. You may not have the finances you need. You in the conversation, planning to start a business with no money. It's cool. Take a risk.

1:05:53 Talking about I'm gonna write a book, ain't wrote a page. You gotta start somewhere though And you gotta take a risk When I moved here from Atlanta Even the winters are reasonable I didn't know y'all, y'all didn't know me. Moving up here was a risk. But we walked by risk. and not by sight. Preach Reginald Sharp. I'm trying.

1:06:26 So that's what y'all were supposed to get on January 7th. Y'all got all those points? Hope fuels your history. Uh-huh. What's the second one? What's the second one? God's voice, listening to God's voice creates victory Risk is a part of our reality If you scared You better learn real quick It's cool to be scared and do it anyway Call them anyway Go on a date anyway Apply anyway Go to class anyway Finish the degree anyway And you can be scared And you can be nervous you can be an overthinker but while you overthinking and while you scared keep putting one foot in front of the other and say yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil because he's with me Now, y'all ready for what I'm going to give you today?

1:07:25 All right, promise if y'all don't cut up, I'm going to get through all of this. But I had to back you back so you can walk with me because these are laws. This is what caused them to accelerate. Y'all saw what happened? As soon as they did what Jesus said do, here come all these fish. They don't have room enough to even carry it in. And that's the kind of acceleration I want you to see. So here's what I was going to give you today. Number one, we must have perspectives fueled by positivity. We must have perspectives fueled by positivity. It's right there in verse one and two. Let's slow down. It's coming up on the screen. Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Genesaret and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of them. And what were they doing? Washing their nets. Washing their nets. They were washing their nets. Washing their nets. Washing their nets. Y'all missed it. Y'all missed it. Y'all missed it. The fishermen had gone out of them, and they were washing their nets. The fishermen had gone out of them, and they were washing their nets.

1:08:21 The fishermen had gone out of them, and they were washing their nets. You waiting on me to move on. I'm waiting on you to act like you got it. The fishermen had gone out of them, and they were washing their nets. Don't miss it, because if I'm washing my nets, that is a symbol that my failure ain't final. and just because i didn't catch anything last night you best believe tonight i'm gonna go back out there again and i'm gonna try again because you have to have a perspective of positivity you better get non-net washers out of your life this year because every time you wash your net after you failed after you fell short after the dream didn't come to pass you get back in your laboratory get back on the shore and you wash those nets as a sign that as soon as I fish again I might not have caught anything last night I might not have caught anything this month but when I get back out there again I believe I can catch something and that's why the person that on your row has been up in worship all service long and you've been trying to figure out why is everybody's so happy they're not happy because they got fish in the net they happy that they still got nets and if i got nets that means i can fish again it means i can dream again it means god can do it again now unto him who is still able to do it anybody still believe now if you don't believe you sit right there and cross your legs and chew on your gum and scroll through Instagram, but I need 200 ride or die believers who can say I'm gonna speak positivity until I see positivity. I'm gonna speak it. I'm gonna believe it. I'm gonna claim it.

1:10:13 I'm gonna work towards it and I need positivity around me. Some of you all need to clean your nets because you got people in there. Debris and trash. You were going for fishing called trash. So to maximize my next fishing excursion, I got to take time in the daytime to get ready for my nighttime mission. I got to clean it up. I got to work. I got to prepare. Because tonight when I go fish again, I may not catch anything, but I'm a fish like I am.

1:10:58 Touch your neighbors. They stay positive. Oh, Lord. Ain't nothing worse. than being around perpetually, incessantly negative people. Some always wrong Always got a critique Don't have any suggestions But always got a critique Didn't put nothing in the basket To make things better Didn't write, nah, check How you gonna critique me and you can't even fund me?

1:11:37 If you ain't signing a check to the vision, keep your mouth off of it. Huh? Stay positive. Keep your nets clean. Because in first century, the way these nets were made was that if they set out all day in the sun, without any moisture from the water, they would dry and they would break. So literally as I'm washing my nets, I'm saying I need to keep my stuff straight. So that when I go again, I might have more success. Woo, that's good. Here's another law of acceleration. Y'all ready? We must invite the Lord into the midst of our losses.

1:12:30 We must invite the Lord into the midst of our losses. Now, watch Jesus. Verse 2. He saw two boats there at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of them. What were they doing? Washing their nets. Jesus got into one of the boats. The one specifically belonging to Simon Peter and asked, hey, man, can you push me a little away from the shore? Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. Now, some scholars say one reason Jesus did this is because the crowd was pressing and there was no microphone back then. There was no public address system, no PA system. And so the acoustics, so he could be heard, required he get a little bit on the water. because the vibrations of the water and the waves could carry his voice to the people still sitting on the shore.

1:13:25 So Jesus sets up his own spiritual sound system to make sure his voice and God's word could be heard. That's a whole other, I don't know why. I ain't trying to preach that today. But here's what interests me. Jesus stands in the boat. The same boat they just used on a failed trip.

1:13:54 And he transforms a place that symbolized loss into a place where his word can be heard. So if I want to see acceleration, I can't run from the fact we ain't catch nothing.

1:14:14 I can't even hide the fact that I've lost a lot. So instead of me being full of shame and embarrassed and trying to rush off to go back home so the other fishermen don't see that I really ain't catch nothing, because some of us, it's so embarrassing to fail. Oh God, all eyes on you And you lost everything And just for watching See how you gonna, what you look like Does he look like himself I'm alive. y'all missed it it don't matter if you look like yourself or you do look like yourself the fact that you're still breathing means whatever I lost didn't kill me and I know that's too much for some of y'all because y'all oh lord jeez I can't believe it I said exactly what I meant to say when I said it and I'm about to take 20 seconds and just thank God that even after a night of failure and a night of losses, I'm still alive.

1:15:20 because one reason I let Jesus step into the place where I lost everything because if I just let him in to my failures the stuff I wish I could hide to the place that hurts me the most if I just let him sit there he will transform pain into a platform and my pain place becomes a pulpit now somebody can hear God's word that would have never heard it before oh y'all not listening I let him come in my losses and I just let Jesus feel it he sits right there on Peter's boat and starts preaching so the place where I lost everything now becomes a place where people can get everything.

1:16:29 somebody is gonna get God's word through your loss somebody is gonna see Jesus and hear Jesus in a way they never would have heard him before simply because you let him on your boat clearly I ain't do nothing with the boat so Jesus is yours have your way let me ask a question because this ain't for everybody it's only about 50 y'all in the room that really know what I just said because if you ain't live you don't know nothing I'm talking about I'm talking to people that know what hell feels like I'm talking to people that lost everything and all you got left is Jesus who can take a few minutes and just thank God even though I don't have any fish in my net I didn't accomplish every dream I wanted to it didn't work out the way I wanted it to work out But I still got Jesus And if I have Jesus I have everything I need To get some more fish Alright Let me leave y'all alone If y'all leave me alone I'll leave y'all alone Tell somebody right here This loss was necessary That loss was necessary That loss was necessary Because now Jesus can come on the boat And transform your pain into a platform of purpose.

1:17:58 We must, here it is, thirdly, we must embrace, don't miss this because I'm done after this. Y'all wake up in the back and y'all whip me up there. Y'all whip me on a virtual ship. Number three, we must embrace gradual steps that lead to grand successes. We must embrace gradual steps that lead to grand successes. Tell your neighbor, I need this one. Verse three, verse three, here it is. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and he asked him to do what? put out a little way from the shore. Y'all reading? Uh-huh. Say it again. What did he ask him? What did Jesus say? Put out. Just push out a little way from the shore. Push me out. Push me out a little bit. Push me out a little bit. Because the crowd pressing on me anyway. So if I can, if I'm going to talk and hear from God and talk to them and not let their voices be louder than God, I got to push away a little bit. Y'all missing me.

1:18:51 I love the crowd. I'm with the sheep. But if I'm going to hear from God and not let their voices over. I got to push me out a little bit. They got to be a little distance. That's a leadership nugget. You can smell like sheep. The sheep you're leading, while you should smell like them, you also have to have a boundary so their voices don't drown out the voice of God.

1:19:19 Push me out a little bit. I don't know why he said push me out a little bit, but that's what he said. Now go to verse four. Go to verse four. When Jesus had finished speaking, he said to Simon, put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch. Wait, verse 3, push me out a little bit. Peter did it. Verse 4, Jesus finished preaching. He said, now launch out in the deep. Peter did it. Y'all missing it.

1:19:43 Push out a little bit. Just a little bit. Then verse 4, push out a lot a bit. Verse 3 Just push out a little Just a little Just a little bit Verse 4 Make a large step But if Jesus can't trust you With a little bit Why would he ask you To do a large thing And you couldn't do a little A whole lot of people want to be big But they too big to do something little but if you're too big to do something little you're probably too little to do something big Follow Jesus with the little stuff.

1:20:33 So we trying to be big. We trying to be bodacious and audacious and courageous and outrageous. and Jesus saying hey I'm really just trying to see can I trust you with a little bit you asking me for a raise and a new job you want me to give you more money and you can't tithe with the salary you got now you're not budgeting this well, but you want more. I want to see what you're going to do with the little bit. Everybody in church likes to do the stuff, and not everybody, but most people like to do the stuff where they're seen. And we assume that the ministries that are seen the most are the most important ministries. So we always thank the choir. We always thank the media team. We always thank the deacons. We always thank who we see.

1:21:25 But when it was zero degrees this morning, somebody had to come and make sure the parking lot was prepared and ready, salted the sidewalk so nobody slips and soothes us. Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? If nobody turned the heat on, if nobody made sure that the sanctuary was clean and the seats were clean. See, it's not all about the big stuff. it's the little stuff that adds up to the big stuff can god trust you to just push out a little bit yeah we're gonna talk about the great launch one day the big launch the deep fishing launch and they all that's great but maybe what made jesus trust peter with a big launch is that he could trust him with a little push Thank you.

1:22:20 So in 2024, lean up, lean up. This is between me and you. Don't tell nobody I told you this. It's just me and you. In 2024, stop stressing yourself out to do big things and learn how to do little things well. Don't worry about doing big things. Do little things in a big way.

1:22:45 You can make the world better if you just do your little part. my grandmother grandma harper whose birthday was this past wednesday passed on february 6th coming up my grandmother used to whenever she heard somebody was sick she was known at my church for sending sympathy cards she was the sympathy card lady she was the bereavement card lady anything happens she gonna send a card any birthday she gonna send a card any anniversary she gonna send the card. It seems so little, but you don't know how many people to this day say, I got a card from your grandmother when I was sick, when I was in the hospital, when I was going through a tough season and that little card with her little handwriting encouraged me. Don't despise the day of small beginnings. What you do with a little bit can determine if God will ever elevate you.

1:23:43 to a big season. Preach, Reggie. I'm trying. Let me give you one more. Look, we on schedule if I just give you one more. We give you one more and I give you the next three next week. We got a deal? Here's the last one for your laws of acceleration. Watch it, watch, watch it. We must never waste our energy by worrying. Now, you can't really see this one, but just, do you see verse 4 and 5? You see that? When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a big catch. Then you see verse 5, and Peter said, but I'm willing to bet you before Peter said anything to Jesus, he had a whole conversation in his head. Just like me and you. Because half the time, before we say something out loud, we done said a couple things in our head. Y'all know I'm telling the truth.

1:24:37 Peter said, now, first of all, I'm tired. He want me to lunch out in the deep. Mm-hmm. He a carpenter. I'm a fisherman. He don't know nothing about fishing. Why he asks us to do it? I mean, where was he last night when we were out there struggling? He could have told us that last night, lunch out in the deep. You could have said that last night. We were all had, everything was ready, everybody ready to go. and he gonna wait till the morning time to tell me to lunch then Jesus is cool and whatever but why you tell me to do this in the daytime and the fish are going they ain't biting somebody know what I'm talking about they ain't biting and they're not catchable because they can see the net and the fish going to be instagramming and facetiming and texting in the water y'all they after us again be careful stay in quarantine today because the fish can see the net he didn't figure it out jesus don't know what he's talking about fish not gonna bite we ain't gonna catch nothing but then do it all peter said you know what now we were out here all night but uh but if you say so we're gonna do it let me tell you this half of us in this room live between verse four and five nobody hears it nobody sees it but in your head you are a professional worrier.

1:26:14 Keep looking straight ahead. You done talked to yourself so much talked yourself out of so many things simply because you just sitting at home worrying, oh Lord, Lord, Jesus they done called back the bills I don't know where we gonna get the money from. Here's what I figure if I don't have the money when they call why am I gonna worry about something I literally cannot do? so if I'm going to stress about something I'm going to stress about something I can do not stuff I can't do if I can't do it I just can't do it write this down best quote I ever heard on worry worry is the misuse of your imagination worry is the misuse of your imagination you worried about how they going to catch the fish you worried about if you going to catch some fish at all you worried about how this thing going to work out don't forget this The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

1:27:16 I feel something right here. The world and everything that dwells therein. That includes fish under the water and everything on top of the water. So be anxious. for nothing. Keep sitting there. I feel like preaching now. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your heart in your mind. Every need You has got to bow. Fish don't even have knees and they still got to bow to what Jesus says.

1:28:12 So I don't know how I'm going to catch him I don't know how it's going to work out But I know he's God I know he runs the whole universe And I refuse to live my life worried When all of it is in his hands He's omniscient He knows where the fish are He's omnipotent He can make the fish go to your net And somebody in this church with the three minutes I got left ought to really thank God he'll send the blessing to you he will fill your net with a blessing you couldn't catch on your own he'll redirect every fish redirect every opportunity and what you trying to catch he'll just put it right in your net can you give him any kind of praise and shake your neighbor's hand like you're going to shake it off and use hand sanitizer later and say neighbor don't worry this year check your
