Come Through, Jesus

47:51 moments with your prayers, I want to talk about come through Jesus. Come through, comma Jesus. come through Jesus. Have you ever wanted to ask God, make it make sense. It's Jack when you work and pray for this only to end up with that. It hurts when you're expecting a set up only to end up set back. why work hard and do right only to have life go wrong and play in your face life is filled with crushing contradictions that will derail your dreams handcuff your hopes hurt your heart poison your plan shatter your spirit and mess with your mind in a real sense life my sisters and brothers will play in your face with contradictions that cause you to wonder God make it make sense it happens my sisters and brothers we've witnessed it as a people in what Maya Angelou calls these yet to be United States of America Langston Hughes put these contradictions to pointed poetry when he declared let America be the dream the dreamer's dream let it be that great strong land of love where never kings connive nor tyrant scheme that any man be crushed by one above it never was America to me there's never been equality for me nor freedom in this homeland of the free. I hope y'all get what he does because rhetorically what he does is begin by lifting up the possibility and promise of the American dream and then he contrasted with

50:02 the reality of his own experience as one whose skin has been kissed by nature's son and as a consequence. He is penalized for being black in this country. He experiences what Khalil Gibran Muhammad calls the condemnation of blackness in a real sense. He feels what Franklin Richardson calls what it means to be public enemy number one in a country that you help to build. I'm simply saying those are contradictions that will mess with your mind. It will poison your spirit. They are contradictions that make you want to say, God, I need you to make it make sense. Gil Scott Heron put it like this, I guess piggybacking on Langston Hughes when he said the blues were created here because America gave us the atmosphere.

51:05 Y'all didn't get that. I hope you get what Gil Scott Heron is saying. Gil Scott Heron is saying there is an atmosphere in this country that has produced the blues that we sing as a people. Y'all didn't feel Gil Scott Heron. So let me give you D1 as he sees the contradictions in white Christian nationalism and raps. Do you pledge allegiance to Christ and not to the enemy? If so, then how you justify hatred and white supremacy. I'm still not coming through. In a real sense, to live as a person of Ebony Hugh, as one who is othered and oppressed in these yet-to-be United States of America is to find yourself confronted on a daily basis with the contradictions of a country that espouses the values of liberty and justice for all, but at the same time practices oppression, discrimination, and othering.

52:16 It is a mind-wrecking experience to live in a country where every day you find yourself set up by a system that is designed to ensure your downfall, to minimize your gifts while extracting and exploiting all of the talents that you have. It's a contradiction to live in a land of the free and the home of the brave that was built on the back of the slave. I'm still not coming through. One of the amazing things I learned while listening to Professor Gray Carr on In Class with Carr. Professor Carr, I think it was last year, did a whole piece on Dr. Kevin Roberts, who has been labeled the mastermind of Project 2025. We are now living in his vision that is a nightmare for us.

53:20 Project 2025 that has been executed by this current administration. Project 2025 found a willing white supremacist, racist, and criminal in order to bring to pass the vision that is our nightmare. I hope y'all get the contradictions there. And note with me, my sisters and brothers, that Greg Carr did a deep dive on Dr. Kevin Roberts and discovered that he is an academic historian whose emphasis has been studying, please don't miss this, African American history, especially as it relates to the slave trade. So when you read his thesis of Kevin Roberts, don't forget Kevin Roberts, the architect, the mastermind of Project 2025. Kevin Roberts, who is melanin deficient.

54:22 Kevin Roberts, my sisters and brothers, the architect of Project 2025, studied our history. He knows our history better than a lot of us know our history. And while studying our history, he studied, please don't miss this, ah, the time between 1790 and 1830, because it was during those times there in Louisiana, but he also during his thesis and during his dissertation studied, watch this, what was happening by way of the kinship factor of the community building that took place amongst the enslaved Africans there in Virginia. And he discovered two things. It made black people continuously resisting oppression. Number one, he discovered that there was a strong kinship and community bond in a real sense.

55:25 We derived our sense of identity and possibility from our connection in community. It was because of our connection in community and our sense of understanding that none of us make it till all of us make it. It was that sense of community. Ah, what is referred to in South Africa as Ubuntu. I am because we are. We are, therefore I am. It was because of that that according to Kevin Roberts, there was this spirit of resistance, this fight for freedom. But I'm not even done because Roberts also discovered, especially in Louisiana, that their freedom fighting was a result of a matriarchal culture. That means that there was a strength that the community derived because of the black women in that community.

56:28 And so on the plantation, it was the black woman, watch this, who kept the community together. The black woman that gave a sense of freedom in the midst of enslavement. The black woman who gave strength when the community was feeling weak. And so as a consequence, he studied this. He studied this, y'all. And now we are in his nightmare or his vision, which is our nightmare of Project 2025. Don't miss me because I'm about to blow your mind. Since Project 2025 has been unleashed, we have witnessed. Here it is, the dismantling. No, the destruction of the gains of the civil rights movement, especially my sisters and brothers, the civil rights bill. And now we are watching as the voting rights bill has sections two and five that has been gutted and extracted from the most significant legislation in the history of this democracy.

57:37 It's been gutted in this nation by one who studied. He studied us. He studied our strength and then is using our strength against us. It's not an accident that over a half a million black women have lost their jobs since January of last year. It's not an accident that black women have been targeted by this administration. It's not an accident that the person who occupies the White House had the unmitigated gall to call Rachel Scott a brilliant black journalist, the B word. Have you thought about the fact that that did not really catch traction by way of being the scandal it should have been? Think about the fact. Imagine if Barack Obama had called a white woman journalist the B word.

58:37 It would have made front headline news at least for a year. It would have been a scandal that they would have called for his impeachment and removal from office. But he calls Rachel Scott a B word. He calls her the B word. And y'all, it barely made the news. It barely made national news. Have y'all thought about the fact that when Barack Obama said that a police officer had behaved stupidly there in Harvard, Massachusetts, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when a black professor was trying to simply get in his own home? I think it was Henry Louis Gates and Barack Obama says he behaved stupidly and the whole country lost its mind. The whole journalist crew lost their minds and all he said was that the police officer behaved stupidly.

59:38 Hold on. This orange clown had the nerve to call a black woman the B word and we ain't heard another word about it. And y'all, guess what? The journalists may not have anything to say, but we better have something to say. We need to make sure that we stand up and have the back of sisters who've always had our back. Preach, Freddie Haynes. I'm already doing that thing. And so my sisters and brothers, we are now in the nightmare because of a vision that was created by one who studied our history, knows it better than us, understands our strength, and has now set us up to be taken down. Oh, what a contradiction. The contradictions are mind-blowing in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I'm still not coming through, so I guess I'll go ahead and homiletically hop into our passage because the book lets us know it's a contradiction. I want God to make it make sense.

1:00:50 The book lets us know that this Jesus and his consecrated crew, his disciples and a crowd blown away by the miraculous moves of our Lord and liberator. Jesus, the Bible says, makes his way into a town called Nain. I etymologically unpacked the name Nain and discovered the name Nain. It means don't miss your shout, beauty. It means beauty evidently. It was noted for its lovely landscape. It was noted for its tremendous beautiful topography. Nain, my sisters and brothers, was extraordinarily aesthetically arresting and beautiful. It's called Nain. And yet when Jesus is entering Nain, he discovers another crowd is processing out of Nain. And this crowd is a part of an ugly processional of pain.

1:01:53 There is pain in vain. Pain in vain because the book lets us know that there is a widow woman, a widow woman who is now suffering from the loss of a child. I've got to back up and help you get how sad and insufferable this passage is. The Bible lets us know that this woman has already experienced the pain of losing her husband. I'm not done because you do recognize that she lives in a patriarchal culture where her value as a human being is determined by the man she's married to and her ability to give birth to a child. You do recognize she is treated as a second-class citizen because of circumstances over which she has no control. She had no control over being born a woman, and yet she is treated as other and other and oppressed.

1:02:58 She is treated as a thing to be used and not a person to be respected. She is mistreated and just because she is a woman, she's already suffering as a second-class citizen in what is supposed to be a first-class woman empire. But then the book lets us know she gets married and time goes by. She's privileged to give birth to a child. And now the text lets us know that her husband is deceased. And so she is without the strength and support and economic security and stability that comes from having a husband. Now her future financially depends on her son that she must raise now without her husband. I hope y'all are getting this.

1:03:51 she has been married and now she is she is a single and she's having to raise a child in this patriarchal culture that considers her a second-class citizen but somehow some way there in Nain the worst happens the Bible lets us know that ah the book says that her son dies I don't know how he died it could have been to violence I don't know how he died it could have been a lack of sufficient health care. I don't know how he died, but he is dead and she is experiencing compounded grief. She's experiencing unrelenting pain as a result of a loss that is insufferable. And that's where I want to hang out right now because it all takes place in Nain, a place of beauty, and she's experienced the ugliness of life. May I park right there parenthetically because I hope y'all are connecting dots right now. The land of the free, the home of the brave, and yet we are witnessing the dismantling of this democracy. I hope y'all are watching this because the sad reality is that Tennessee and Louisiana and Alabama, they could not wait along with Virginia to jump on the ruling of the Supreme Court.

1:05:20 There's another contradiction because think about the fact that at the Supreme Court, they have over its entrance, these words equal justice under the law. And yet we know that with this Supreme Court, the only concern they have is doing what their court leader is telling them to do. And as a consequence, their court leader tells them how to rule. And that's exactly what they do. Wait, I'm not even done because the Supreme Court basically gutted the Voting Rights Act. How heartbreaking is that? It's a spitting on the grave of John Lewis. I need to talk to Uncle Clarence Thomas and say you are spitting on the blood of Amelia Boynton you are spitting on the sacrifice of those who went to the Edmund Pettus Bridge and got beaten down and bloodied you are spitting on their sacrifice Uncle Clarence Thomas shame on you I'm not done I'm not done because understand the Supreme Court gutted the civil rights bill basically saying in this 250th year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence where they were standing against taxation without representation and now they are robbing us of representation. Can you imagine the contradiction, the loss in Memphis, Tennessee, where as soon as the Tennessee lawmakers found out that the gutting rights bill, they allowed them to no longer have to have representation.

1:07:10 Memphis, Tennessee, a city that is 61% black, now is robbed of congressional representation in Memphis, where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life in Memphis where striking sanitation workers stood for economic justice. It happens in Memphis.

1:07:34 The contradictions are mind-blowing. The L's are breaking my heart. And y'all, I'm wondering how we going to deal with all of this. and I come back to this woman because this woman has compounded grief. I got to stop right there. I was speaking with one of our favorite preachers this week and we were lamenting the fact that Mother's Day was coming and it's one of the toughest Sundays for preachers to preach because Mother's Day can be so complicated because some of us are in here and the pain we have is from the grief that Mama was here but no longer is with us in the present. How do you heal a heart that's been broken by the loss of a mother? Ain't no love like a mother's love, a mother's love that nurtures and nourishes, a mother's love that stands by you, prays over you, encourages you.

1:08:40 And for some of you, you've come to church today, know you've tuned in, and your deal is, I want to celebrate Mother's Day, but mama is not here. Wait for somebody else. Your complication is the fact that your relationship with your mother wasn't necessarily healthy. And as a consequence, that's hard to deal with. Then you deal with the fact that there are some who are basically saying my dream was to be a mother. But that did not come to pass for others. You were knowing the struggle and stress of being a single parent. I could call the role of the fact that it's complicated. And somebody's looking at me right now. Your situation with mama or being a mama is complicated. It's stressful. It's insufferable.

1:09:32 You've experienced loss and you've experienced compounded grief. And that's what this woman is experiencing. but I got to shout for you because while she's experiencing that, she discovers that whenever you are going through, that's when Jesus will come through. I think that's the shout I want to give to somebody today. Come through Jesus because Jesus will come through. That's my word to somebody right now. I know your heart is broken, but watch him come through. I know your mind is kind of confused by the contradictions. All I'm saying is watch them come through. I know that you are wondering if you're going to be able to make it. I'm just saying I serve a come through Savior. A Savior who will come through and raise you when life knocks you down. A Savior who will come through as the great physician and heal you when your body's broken.

1:10:33 a Savior who will come through and be a heart fixer and a mind regulator. I just came to say on Mother's Day, come through Jesus. Our ancestors, they knew that he would come through because they would testify. I love the Lord. He heard my cry and pitied every groan. Long as I live, when troubles rise, I'll hasten to his throne. Come through Jesus. come through come through come through jesus so i feel you're talking you saying freddie haynes you in my kool-aid you've called me flavor because i'm hurting i'm heartbroken i'm dealing with grief that won't let me go i've experienced loss on top of loss how does jesus come through I'm almost done watch the text the text shouts me text says when Jesus comes through and this is your first shout right here you got several coming Jesus the book says will pull up when life has your downs okay so that was real good I I guess you don't know that in the culture there there's a phrase called pull up and whenever someone pulls up it means they have shown up it means that they are here now they are present I'm simply trying to say Jesus will pull up I like how Jesus pulls up do y'all see how our sable skin savior from the streets pulls up the book lets us know he pulls up as she is exiting Nain on her way to the cemetery and the book lets us know that's when Jesus pulls up. I've discovered that God has a way of pulling up when I'm about to give up. God has a way of coming through when I'm going through. God has a way of pulling up and when God

1:12:38 pulls up. I love it right here. The text lets us know Jesus pulls up when life got her down. I got to hang right there because life will get you down. I don't care how big your Bible is, how long you've been going to church, life will get you down. Anybody ever felt down? Anybody ever been let down? Anybody ever been knocked down? Life will get you down. And when life gets you down that's when jesus pulls up he pulls up now now here is what is so powerful he pulls up and centers one who is marginalized okay this woman i told you is a second class citizen who is now bereft not only of her husband and son but economic security her future looks dark I think I'll hang right there because somebody is down because you can't see how you're going to make it tomorrow you can't see how you're going to make it in the future and because of what you can't see in front of you God says that's when I Pull up.

1:13:59 And Jesus pulls up. And when Jesus pulls up, I love it. The text lets us know. He pulls up and centers this woman. Y'all not impressed? Women, second-class citizens. And Jesus says, you're the only one I see. You're the only one I'm going to deal with right now. It's all about you. Isn't it good to know in an empire and a nation that will try to render you second class, we serve a God who centers you. We serve a God who sees you. We serve a God who will put you front and center. And when God puts you front and center, it doesn't matter where other people put you. When God puts you front and center, it doesn't matter what others say about you. How do you think black folk have stayed sane through all of this hell?

1:14:58 We've stayed sane because when they tried to treat us second class, God upgraded us to first class. Now, here's what gets me. And it gets me good. The text says this is the first time in the whole gospel. Watch this, Dr. Stace, where the term Lord is used for Jesus. You're not even shouting yet. They had called him Savior, Jesus, all of that, Christ. but they hadn't called him Lord and y'all knew though you do know this is subversive because Caesar was called Lord Caesar was considered Lord so for Luke to ascribe the term Lord to Jesus it's basically a subversive revolution that is going on recognizing who the real Lord is maybe Caesar had gotten on social media and portrayed himself as savior and then had the nerve to try to walk it back and say that he was just saying he's a doctor. I guess that's what Caesar did.

1:16:13 But I guess I got to tell y'all something. Whatever else Caesar thought he could do, Caesar watched this, didn't wake you up this morning. Caesar watched this, doesn't make a way out of no way. Caesar, watch this, doesn't set you free. Save your soul, deliver you, heal you, raise you up when you're down. Caesar can't do that.

1:16:36 That's why I wish, I really wish Robert Jeffries and his friends and Paula White and crew would recognize he ain't Jesus. He ain't Jesus. And if you think he is Jesus, I've got some hell. I want to sell you that is waiting on you if you think that he's Jesus. I'm preaching. Y'all just not feeling this. And so understand, understand that the text says, Lord, the Lord. The term Lord means boss.

1:17:15 Sovereign. I'm running this. Yeah. I'm running this. luke calls him lord and and and i get why because it was just in the passage before that jesus had showed off his lordship can i shout you right quick the text lets us know a centurion said listen my my servant is sick and uh would you mind healing him jesus says i'll go with. He says, no, no, no. I'm a centurion. I know the power of authority. I know that if I just speak a word, that those who follow me would do what I tell them to do because there's power in the word I use. There's power when I use my words. And so he said, all you got to do is just say the word. And if you say the word, my servant will be healed. And Jesus said, I ain't never seen faith like this in all of Israel. And y'all know what he did. He said, your servant is healed right now.

1:18:23 And the book lets us know when the centurion got home, the servant was healed. When did it happen? About such and such a time yesterday, the same time Jesus spoke the word. Because Jesus said, since I'm Lord, all I got to do is speak it. And when I speak it, stuff happens. When I speak it, things change because all of the universe is word activated. so so when Jesus watch this comes through as Lord he sees you and he's sovereign please hear me y'all I know it's dark right now I know it's hurting right now I know things look bed right now but the good news is Jesus sees you Jesus sees us and because he sees us he also is sovereign and will speak a word over us and our situation okay okay I'm gonna go ahead and shout myself speak a word Lord and we know all things work together for good to those that love God and are called according to God's purposes.

1:19:45 Go ahead, speak a word, Lord. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Would you speak a word, Lord? Be anxious for nothing, but by everything with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known under God and the peace of God that passeth all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Speak a word, Lord. Ah, here's a good one right here In this world, you're going to have some trouble But be of good cheer I have overcome the world Speak a word, Lord Even the youth shall faint and get weary Young folks shall fall But they that wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength Mount up with wings as eagles Run and not get weary Walk and not think Speak a word, Lord The Lord is my shepherd.

1:20:43 I shall not want. He leads me in paths of righteousness. Makes me lie down in green pastures. He restores my soul. Wait. He prepares a table before me in the presence of Trump. Kevin Roberts, my hateful boss, he prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemy. Speak a word. Lord.

1:21:19 Wait. Wait. Because there's something else that lets me know we're going to be alright. Because the text says here it is. Jesus speaks the word. Jesus says to her he sees her. I like that the text says he saw her.

1:21:41 He didn't try to do the miracle until she felt seen. We live in a country, Ralph Ellison said, that will try to render you invisible. Oh my God. But Dr. Juan, when they try to render us invisible, just know the God of the universe lets you feel seen. You are seen by God. You are seen in your situation. God sees you. but then something else something else tech says this tech says he sees says don't cry he's not minimizing tears he's maximizing his disdain for death he says don't cry don't cry because she's hurt she's heartbroken she can't see the future in front of her she's lost her son it's bad enough when a child loses their parents.

1:22:44 But it's unspeakably bad when a parent loses that child. And y'all, this is what's going on in the text. Jesus says, don't cry. And then watch him disrupt death. he touches the stretcher that's what it was it was a stretcher he touches the stretcher and the pallbearers stop walking and when he touches the stretcher I'm about to shout it meant that he himself was going to be contaminated and unclean because we serve a savior who doesn't mind getting in the mess and the contamination that we find ourselves in in order to set us free and heal us and deliver us that's the kind of savior that we have but hold on bishop because the text lets us know he touches the stretcher and then he speaks to the boy and says man get up and the text says bro man got up bro man so so so probably after bro man gets up mama says what you been doing chilling i'm sorry that was not in the sermon that was not in the Simon.

1:24:18 I was not in the sermon, okay? Let me really back in. So, so, so. But the text says he sits up. Why? Because here is Jesus saying that it's when, this is so good right here. I'm going to say it slow. That's why I give you a little levity. When you experience loss, resurrection power sets you up for gain.

1:24:48 I want to give this word to somebody who is hurting and heartbroken right now. Your loss doesn't have the last word. Your loss may become the stage on which God brings about a miraculous gain that you would not have experienced had the loss not taken place. I'm not saying God caused the loss. I'm just saying God can take the ale and the hell it brought about and somehow bring something good out of it. And somebody's looking at me right now. You just had a flashback and thought about some hell that you've been through. But God took the ale of that hell and God then converted it into a gain. There's some stuff you have right now you wouldn't have had had you not gone through what you went through.

1:25:42 Man, let me tell you this. So, so, I guess a couple of weeks ago, I'm in Houston for the IC3 conference and I'm doing a class. I'm doing a workshop. And I did this workshop dealing with, watch this, redemption and resistance. The black church speaks to the semi-quincentennial. what do we have to say to this 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence and watch this it was the day after the supreme court rendered its unjust verdict and y'all I I so so you know I went to that class hot and uh I went to that class I was hot and I was going in and I mean I was going in had a great time and all that stuff and so after the first class sister comes up to me and uh she says said pastor haynes uh i want you to know i'm praying for you i'm excited sending money for you and all that stuff uh but i want you to be encouraged pastor haynes by what god does in seasons like this and and and you got to watch this because i'm pastor haynes the teacher of the workshop, but she teaches me.

1:27:03 black women be doing that don't they it's like black women say I know that you the teacher I know that you run in this but but let me just drop some truth on you and y'all she dropped damn let me give you the truth she gave me she said pastor Hayes I want you to see this video of my son and she showed me a video of a precocious precious five-year-old playing the piano and she said that's my boy and then he starts singing and he was singing making me think about Michael Jackson back when he said uh could it be I stayed away too long and y'all know he did the thing out of that and y'all this boy is singing and playing the piano and I'm saying this is really beautiful thank you so much I have no idea why you are sharing this with me but but I thank you for it. She said because he was born eight months after my mama died. My mama was everything to me.

1:28:03 She was my best friend. We talked four and five times a day. My mama died and when mama died it broke my heart, messed me up and eight right after my mama died two days later I found out I was pregnant with this boy right here. I said wow that's something. She said no the something is that Eight months later, my water breaks. And when my water breaks, I'm driving to work. I'm driving to work. And while driving to work, my water broke. And when my water broke, I made a turn that was wrong trying to get to the hospital. The turn I took led into a dead end. I'm in a dead end and my water breaks. And pastor, I began to honk my horn real loud. Some boys were playing outside and they ran up to me. I told them I'm pregnant and I'm about to give birth to a child, but I've come to a dead end.

1:29:01 Please don't miss this. I'm at a dead end and my water broke. And the boys said, oh, don't worry. My dad is a doctor. I'm going to run in the house and get him and wake him up. She goes in the house to wake up his dad, brings his dad outside. And his dad watched this. It seems that the process is far along and the dad delivers the baby in the car at the dead end. I got to say it again because I know I talk fast. She had come to a dead end and right there at the dead end is where deliverance came. I got to do this thing one more time. She was at a dead end and at that dead end, that's when she delivered new life. God will shout in just a moment at a dead end. But at that dead end, new life came to pass.

1:29:57 And all I tried to say to somebody, God ain't done. God ain't dead. God can take your dead end and bring about deliverance and bring about new life. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Because that was good and you know it is. But she wasn't even done. and she said pastor you know how deliverance came i said yeah you just told me because the son went to get his dad the doctor she said you didn't say it right and i know you know better she said i experienced deliverance at a dead end because i talked to the son and the son went to get the father and the father came and brought about deliverance and that's what I'm trying to tell somebody it feels like a dead end but if you talk to the father mama Liz used to put it like this I must tell Jesus all of my trials I cannot bear these burdens alone talk to the son the son will get the father and the father will bring about deliverance.

1:31:13 All right. I got to quit. I've held y'all too long. Happy Mother's Day. The final thing the text says is, I'm done. If you see something, say something. It's right there in the text. The text says, I ain't making none of this up. Can I read it to you and shout you? The text says, the dead man sat up and began to speak. Jesus gave him to his mama. Fear seized all of them, meaning reverence, and they glorified God, saying a great prophet has risen among us and God has looked favorably on God's people. And word spread all throughout Judea and the countryside. They saw something.

1:32:06 And they had to say something. I'm not coming through. Y'all know that ain't original with me. You go to the airport and they got signs in certain spots that's basically say, if you see something, say something. And the last time I saw that thing, I had just witnessed God do something amazing in my life. And I said, I ain't going to use that in order to look for somebody doing what they shouldn't do right now. I'm going to use that to say something about what God has done for me. If you see something, you ought to say something. And, y'all, that has been one of the superpowers of black folk. Because when we come to church, we don't sit like a lump on a log because we've seen something. Therefore, we've got to say something. That's been our superpower. When we come to church, we get our praise on.

1:33:00 We ain't like them folk downtown. They just sit there. They just sit there. But oh hallelujah. When I come give me some black church. Because when I get to black church. Black folk talk back to the preacher. Black folk say say it. Hallelujah. Amen. Hold your halt. Let God use you. Hallelujah. Yeah. Black folk talk to you. Why? Because we've seen something. And because we've seen something, we got to say something. Y'all don't like that, but y'all know I'm in the Bible. Because the Bible says, let the redeemed of the Lord say so. If God has redeemed you, you ought to say so. If God woke you up this morning,
