0:00 God trying to tear us away from this world. All the years that I've been teaching has culminated to this time right here, right now. I can't make you see how urgent it is to tear yourself completely away from this world. You got to rip yourself away from this world. If there's any part of this world you're trying to hold on to, you're 0:30 going to miss heaven and end up in the lake of fire. That's the challenge that I have in teaching this. You're attached to this world and your little life, your life. You can't see your life without your control of it. You cannot see your life without your control of it. You sit there and you look up on this stage and you see 1:00 me. I started ripping myself away from everything I wanted, everything I wanted to do, every dream. I had to rip myself away from it because I didn't have anything to hide behind. I knew when God visited me. I knew when God called me. I knew when God told me to follow him if I wanted to be blessed. I knew it. I couldn't 1:30 say, "I don't know if that was God or not." I didn't have that luxury. I knew it was God. And I had to rip myself away. like literally ripped myself away from every aspiration, every desire, everything I wanted to do, everything I wanted to be, everything I wanted to achieve, I had to completely rip myself away from it in order to do 2:00 this. in order to build this a people. God said, "I want you to build me a people." Hallelujah. Glory to God. And it took everything. Everything. And now you have come to that. You've come to that. You've come to that. My three children are here. We weren't wealthy. We had nothing. Nothing. We had no food. Sometimes I was preaching the gospel as 2:31 an evangelist. We didn't always have running water. We didn't have electric lights. We had to hook up to the neighbors lights to have a light in our house. I wasn't always sitting on this stage. Lights, camera, action. It came with a cost. It came with trusting God. I had to trust God. And I had to trust God with three children. A single 3:01 mother with three children whom I love dearly. But I knew that I was called and I couldn't shake that. And now I'm looking at my people that I've had the privilege to raise. I can look at you and I can tell some of you that barrier that's holding you, that's keeping you from getting there. You can't cut loose. You can't let go. 3:31 You can't let go of your control. You're afraid to just free fall into God. You're afraid of it. I had to free fall. Even with three children, I had to free fall into God. I said, "God, if you call me, if we starve, they going to say you did it. You couldn't take care of us cuz I'm going to obey you. Nothing 4:01 is going to stop me from obeying you. And if we don't make it, you going to be the blame. They going to say you couldn't keep us cuz I'm going to do what you tell me to do. I'm going to go where you tell me to go. When I said I wasn't going back to Jamaica, I went to Jamaica the last time 4:31 with a carry on for a weekend. God made me stay there seven years. How could he do that? because I was torn away from any control I had of my life. I don't have any control over my life. If God tell me to go somewhere to do something, I'm going. There's not a power in this world that can stop me. There's not 5:02 a power that exists in the world and underneath the world that can stop me from doing what God tell me to do. Not one. I believe that with all my heart. Ever since I've been a preacher, there's been forces that have worked against me, that have tried their best to stop me, to try to stop this. See, people come in here and 5:32 they look at this as a conference. When I come in, you know what I look at? I look at these pastors that have been raised up to teach people that I may never even know their names, but you know their names. You're working in their lives because I'm working in your life. You're able to work in other people's lives. You're able to 6:02 reach more people than I'll ever reach. That's what I see here. That's what the devil doesn't want to happen. I want you to leave here unattached. Unattached to this world. Break free. Force yourself. Break free of this world. Don't depend on this world for anything. Nothing. This is not your home. Hallelujah. Jesus.
