Praise the Lord everybody. Praise the Lord everybody. Praise the Lord everybody. Clap your hands ALL YOU PEOPLE. SHOUT UNTO GOD WITH THE VOICE OF TRIUMPH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. AMEN. AMEN. This has been good. Amen. And uh but there are a couple things. One thing that um we would really like

you to um help us with, there have been some uh cups and some things left, empty bottles that needed to be deposited in the trash. Uh we wouldn't do that in our home church hopefully. Amen. So, please help us and the cleaners that'll come be coming in uh in the house of God and deposit uh your uh

empty water bottles and and your cups. Somebody said, "Amen." Amen. And uh back in the back, we are going to have uh for those who uh uh would like to give $200, uh we have something for you. It is a uh blade and inscripted with Wisconsin District men's ministry on it. It is Damascus steel. Um, and so if you

are interested in that, um, I bought two. And, uh, so if you, uh, would like one and you are willing to give $200 for men's ministry, uh, you can go back in the back and you can pick up a uh, men's ministry sheath, nice leather, can be worn uh, vertically or horizontally. And um if if you you would like a a small sword.

Amen. Amen. Um also when you leave today, uh make sure your rooms are clean. Make sure your rooms are swept. Amen. Take the trash out of your trash can, bag it up, and deposit it over in the uh waste containers that we have provided for you. Amen. And uh we just we just want to leave the campgrounds. Uh make

sure though um if you have plugged in your refrigerator, uh when you leave, make sure that it's number one that it's empty, number two, that there's no food left in it. you know that might spoil and that you unplug it and then that you open the door. I know we're tired. Amen. But uh that's just good and it

it's proper. We need to take care of our campground and and those that will be coming behind. And uh let's let's let's just have camp and let's just leave it a little bit better. And if you see things on the ground, if somebody's dropped something on the ground, pick it up. Amen. Don't leave it with somebody else. Well, it's their job to do that. Let's keep the campground looking good. And everybody said, "Amen." Come on, let's clap to the Lord right now and shout unto God with a voice of triumph. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Thanks, bro. Praise the Lord. That's hot. That's hot. So yesterday was a fun day, huh? Got got a whole lot of uh action in the morning before we had fun. I mean, that was fun, too. But we got to have some some amazing speaking and then we got to have more fun and then some more amazing speaking. Amen. It doesn't get much better than that. So yesterday we had a we had a go-karts back for the first time in three years, which is awesome. And we had a couple uh

fun times. There's only what, six people that went go-karting. Five, three. Man, that they still let them run, which is amazing because if you can imagine the difference in price between three people spending $90 versus 40 people spending $90, there's an insanely amount of difference there. So, um, however, they got to run the whole time just non-stop for like what, four

hours? That's just amazing. Praise the Lord that they didn't just like send them packing or something like that. That could have been that could have been bad. So, next year we need a few more if they let us come back. Um, but they were they were just awesome, right? They just they treated us amazing. They gave a tent out so brother Pop could hang out and and watch everything happening. And there was a there out of the out of the four there was four winners, right? But there were there had to be one guy in fourth. So, the first place goes to Merurl. Merl, is he in

here? All right, here we go. Let's give him a shout. Huh? So, he gets bragging rights because I think the last like three three or four years we've had one the same guy won all three years and he didn't go this year. Uh, so he's probably going to think that he needs to challenge you next year, I'm guessing. Yeah, next year. Next year. So, there'll be there'll be a much bigger, I'm sure, competition next year. Um, and then we had uh the the clays and

we had a brother C. Is brother Kat in here. Man, this guy missed six shots, right? Six shots all day. That is a sharp shooter there. I I tell you what, I'm going to get him on my side when when uh you know, when it comes to the point where where we're all trying to, you know, be in these caves and stuff and in the end days, right? And we got to fend for our lives. I'm going to make sure that I got brother Kat with me. We're going to take

care of some business. Amen. Amen. And then uh golf, uh brother Stephins, would you want to you want to come down? Praise the Lord. Well, I hope everybody had a good time out at the events. Amen. Amen. I'm glad we get to do this, right? And it was a beautiful day out. Couldn't

ask for better than that. Um I think we had 24 guys come out golfing. So, and again, just a a plug, you don't have to be good. There was a guy that rented clubs. You don't have to bring clubs. Um they rent them at the course. It's a scramble format, so you don't have to be good. You can just get on a team and hopefully one of those people on the team can carry you. But we had uh four hole prizes and we did

longest putt, which uh there was three in line with that, but the the the final winner was Jay Abbottz. He's on our team, but he's not out here right now. So, we'll just keep that one. No, that's just a sleeve. Yeah. And then closest to the pin in two shots was me. So, there you go. Let's put it right over there. Yeah, that's rigged. I like that. I

think your name just got scribbled off of one. No, Right. Right. Right. um longest drive. We did we did have have two on and I really liked you probably can't see it, but the first person was Brother Fletcher and he drew like a like a muscle man next to it. So, it was it was pretty cool. I don't know if he did it or not, but unfortunately Josh Hernandez beat him. And uh if you're here, come on up. Amen.

You know, right? Amen. Nice job. Longest drive. That's like the best one cuz then you'd be like, "Ooh, yeah." How long was the drive? 270. All right, that'll do. Absolutely. And then we had closest to the pin, Pastor Shinki over here. Very good. Nice job. Nice job. All right. And then we did have like out of those those groups, obviously, we do have a trophy, a traveling trophy that um we put our names on um each year. And

then the the winning team gets to bring that home, put their name on there and keep it for the year and and and you know, have a little bragging rights, you know, of of carrying that. And that this year it was it was a a close race. There was three under par. Um I believe your team was under par. Um and I forgot the other team's name, but there was another one that was I believe five under par. and the the team of the four talents and we use that because obviously the preaching the talents you know that was a little play on words there but the

four talents which was myself uh my pastor Stephen is Stephen in here he's doing dishes all right well that a boy and then uh Jay Abbotts who is not here also came in at six under so we had a great time um really enjoyed getting out there appreciate the district doing this and putting it on God bless Yes.

All right. And then we also had our first ever pickle ball tournament, right? I heard they had a lot of fun. They There was some some good winners because I wasn't there. No, I'm just kidding. Just kidding. There was a um I guess the last match just kept going and going and going. Is that right? So there uh the there was a tie game between brother Meyer in Colorado

and that was versus Jeff and Tate. Are you guys here? You guys You guys are all winners. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. I I want to go. I'll go next year. Let's Let's go. Let's go. But um and then the last thing that we had uh for any kind of competition was was fishing, right? And I fishing was an amazing day. I think that um they had a what like five

fish total caught or something like that. I don't it was pretty small amount. Um it was a rough day for the fishers. Um we had a I think we had a picture of the the biggest fish. Um I think that was that was it right there. So um I'm just kidding. There there wasn't even a fish. We we used AI to stick the fish in there. So praise the Lord. But uh it it was a good time. So So thank you everyone for for coming out and um and having a having a

great time. And uh look forward to to doing a lot of the same stuff next year. And if there's anything that you guys want to see for an excursion, um, please let let anyone of the men's team know and and we'll see if we can get it on. I've heard a couple things about rafting and and a few other cool things that that sound awesome. So, there's just so many good things and I want to do them all and you just you just can't. You got to pick one, right? Amen. Amen. Let's welcome Doug. Huh?

Why don't you look at somebody next to you and say, "Hey, thanks for being here this year." We were talking. I think this is I know every conference is the best conference you've ever been to, but I I just feel that this year was was the best men's conference I've ever been to. Um, praise the Lord. So, we got a couple of things I want to take care of before we jump into the service. I I hope we're not done. We got We got one more good service in us.

Amen. And then we're going to go home and advance with what we've got. Amen. Couple of things I want to talk about. Um the Waka Church uh is we still got a little bit of work through Wisconsin work missions. Uh so if you have uh ability and availability uh we've got some some minor wall actually removing a wall instead of rebuilding a wall but we need to do some work there. So taping floating drywall and we've got to do a

little bit of uh flooring lay some carpet. So if that's in your wheelhouse, why don't you get a hold of me? Let me know. We'll try to work out a date to get up there uh and go help out at the Waka Church. The second thing I want to talk about, and I was supposed to do it last night, and I just didn't want to interrupt the move of the Holy Ghost, but if we could have the church in a day uh QR code up here, if you could, I know we mentioned it during camp, but the the

dates are as solid set as they can be in any construction project. So if you know, you know, but those dates are set from Tuesday, October 6 through uh October the 11th. And then and the anticipation is them having church on that Sunday. So if you did it before you scan the QR code and signed up, but

haven't done this one, this one is the one that says, "Hey, this is what I do. these are the days that I can be there. Put me on the list and we're g we've got emails going out. We've got superintendent picked out for each trade. But if you can fit in, uh again, I'll just reiterate, you don't want to miss something like this. So, if you can and if you haven't, go ahead and sign up for that uh to be a part of that great project that they're doing. Amen.

Amen. It's my intention. Some had asked me, I do have a list. Uh I'm sure that the NAM department's going to put it out, but we do have a list of available housing there. Um there's not room on the grounds to necessarily to put a camper or anything like that. Uh but there are some campgrounds and some hotels that are close by. I plan on being there from Tuesday through on. So, um you may just be there for a day or

two, but there's there's rooms there to be had. Uh but they'll they'll be offsite. Uh why don't somebody say Keto Ecuador? Keto Ecuador is the project that Men's Ministries is going to be undertaking overseas. So, if you've never traveled overseas, I've never been to Ecuador. I've never been to Keo. I I thought keto was a diet or something. I don't know. But brother Wade, I'll have to ask him. Um

uh Keto Ecuador is that we're underway with the plans, the projects, the approvals already been given, the plans are made, but we're going to start constructing a training facility for whatever region that is. Uh but it'll be in Keto, Ecuador. So, if you've ever had thoughts of going overseas and helping uh to build something, we're going to be presenting something for you probably next year at some point uh sponsored by men's ministry. So, praise the Lord for that. Couple of things that I need to do

uh before I get out of the way here is I want to do some thank yous. Uh we've we've got to say thank you to our great district board. Uh Bishop Booker had to go home. He's They've been in board meetings all week. They've been running uh running around like crazy. So, Bishop had things that he had to get home and take care of. Brother Herman had a wedding this morning and and he couldn't just cancel a wedding. So, they had to go home. They

had to head back. Uh Brother Pace had things that he had to do. He was here the first night. that brother Dave Meyer Senior is still recuperating from surgery, but we still have with us the illustrious leader of prayer this morning, uh, Pastor Bailey. We're so grateful for him. Another new presitter, Brother Shaney. These guys are doing a tremendous job. We're blessed to have them

and I thank them for their sacrifice. And then of course we got brother Fletcher leading up section five. Amen. Let's give the board a hand this morning. These guys really do make a sacrifice. They're at all the camps. And uh I I think it's funny. Um, Brother Shaney came in Thursday night and and he was dressed to the nines and, uh, he said, uh,

I don't want to get too much into detail, but he he came in and and brother Booker said, "Man," he said, "I'm sorry. You you you don't necessarily have to wear a tie if you don't want to at men's camp." And so, it's just funny the funny things that happened be behind the scenes. I yeah it it there's a lot that happens behind the scenes but I want to take a moment thank brother Colorado and his team and the sanitation that's a job that's ministry

I wish we had a trophy to give them but I'm not sure what it would look like so we're not gonna we're just going to move on from that. Amen. Did everybody enjoy the food this year or this week this year? Brother Dan, Chef Dan was able to stay. His his work schedule usually precludes him from being here on men's camp. Uh but he was his work schedule changed and he was able to be here and he is training. Pastor Miller was in there the whole time uh training. So Pastor Miller is going to be kind of taking over uh

some of the duties for for Chef Dan. But that team is is any of the kitchen team in here this morning? Let's just give them all a hand in their so much work goes on in there and uh we're we're going to try to fine-tune some of the ways that that we can get more help for for Chef Dan uh and still

not just overload everybody so that you can enjoy camp. Um I want to take a moment. I want to thank I want to take a moment and thank Waves for the work that they're doing. They do all the audio, the video, and they do an excellent, superb job at that. I wanted to thank thank them quickly. Amen. Praise the Lord. Hopefully I can talk in the next few minutes. And my goodness, Brother Seth, boy, the

music team. Praise the Lord, man. I'm I'm telling you now. I get it. He said last night, he said, "You could play a gazoo and a and a fiddle in here and this place would explode. There's so much power and anointing." But that team put in the work, they put in the effort, and they came in here with anointing and that makes all the difference in the world. So, I thank I thank brother Boyd. I thank the music team for all the work that they've done. Amen.

I want to thank the men's ministry team. I I want you guys come up here. I I'm shocking you right now. I didn't tell you, brother Josh. I want all the men's team to come up here for just a moment.

Amen. Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Thank you. We have we had a meeting over a month ago and in the meeting we decided that there are seven of us in

total uh with brother Stone and myself and so we we talked and we decided that we were going to fast for the entire month leading up to men's camp. So not we didn't all fast for the month so there's seven of us. So each of us took a day and so for an entire month heading up to men's camp, someone has been fasting for what's taking place this weekend. And so I I so appreciate the work that these guys have put in.

Brother Stone, everybody here knows Brother Stone. I appreciate him. He he helps me so much. I I'm I'm like the absent-minded professor and I I I I don't lose anything, but I misplace everything. Praise the Lord. So, Brother Stone helps keep me with that. Section one, uh we've got um let me look here, make sure. Brother Christian Faulner, um he's doing a great job. He really is doing a good job.

Section two, uh is new to the team. Uh he's coming in right at a great time. Brother Michael Parody. Uh, super sharp guy. Very much appreciate him. Pop. Brother Poplowski is just he's he's a fixture of the campgrounds and uh I'm telling you this guy has got it together. I we are blessed to have brother Paplowski on the team.

Brother Bis I think he's done everything in Wisconsin district except maybe be the superintendent. I I don't know if you ever did that yet or not. Um who knows what the future holds. I don't know. And uh he's done it all. And here he is still serving. Amen. So I very much appreciate brother B. My wife and I lived in Texas. We would come to visit her parents. Uh we would pop in from time to time in the Wisconsin Rapids church. And so I've always had a relationship and always had

very much respect for for Pastor Bes. And then brother Rod Otto section five. He is the senior man in length of time on the men's team and he's he's he's up there in section five and and uh with with uh brother Fletcher and we don't want to uh you know those guys are up there but we don't want to forget about

them. Amen. Would just give these guys a hand one more time. We really couldn't do it without them uh and all the work that they put in. Um if you would, we do have a men's ministry um uh web page that Brother Stone has put together. We've got the Facebook page.

We've got Wisconsin Work Missions. We We want to do everything we can do to help you advance. Thank God for the services. Thank God for the presence of the Lord that's here. Thank God for each of you. But we want to we want to advance what was preached to us last night, what was ministered to us last night. Uh we want to make sure that we advance. To do that, it it it just takes it takes finances. I know we give to all the camps. We give to the campground. We

give to our local church. We give. But I've learned and I know you've learned, you can't outgive God. I'm not really in the habit of trying to outdo God, but and and you can't do it. But I do know this that the Bible tells us that if you'll give, it'll be given back to you, pressed down, shaken together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. And and so in your giving, you

have enabled us. There's been so much work that has taken place uh this year and so many people have given uh and I appreciate you. I want to take this time and I want to thank each and every one of you men that are in this place today. Would you give one another a hand? Now, before they lead and before we open

up with the worship, could one of you guys set those offering baskets out for me, please? Before we do that, I've got one more thing I need to do. Two more things I need to do. Some of you have inquired about the the knives that we have and you're wanting to make a donation and receive one of those knives. We are going to have a basket set up at that back door. Um, so if you've asked me, and I told you I'd have them here this morning. They're going to be at that back door. Brother Faulner is going to have that. So, if you if you're interested in doing that, you want to

have one of those to commemorate this year uh a men's ministry, you can meet back there. But funny thing happened. I happened to bring a knife with me to service this morning and brother Wade walked in and brother Wade was admiring that knife and he pulled it out of the sheath and he looked at it. He said, "Man, that's sharp." And I looked at brother Bas and just winked at him because I knew Brother Wade didn't know. Brother Wade, if you if you don't

mind coming up here for just a second, can we give the man of God a hand? I don't know if you can fly with this or not, but on behalf of the Wisconsin District Men's Ministry team, we want to present you with this knife to commemorate this service. Appreciate you, bud.

Yeah, we'll get it to you. Amen. We're going to have some church today. Now, you give that. Would you just thank the Lord for such a great weekend? Thank the Lord for such a great service in Jesus' name. Thank you, God, for all that you've Thank you for each of these men, God. Thank you for each message, God. Thank you for each handshake and and and neck hug, God. Thank you, Lord, for each outing, God, for each

excursion. Lord, I thank you, God, for the what you're developing, for the advancement of your kingdom that's taking place here, Lord. I thank you for this day that we have in you, Jesus. Now, if you'd do me a favor, these baskets are out here. If you would bring your offering, but we don't want you to bring an offering, then go back to your seat. When you step out of there and you bring your offering here, know that it's going to go to a good cause, but stay up front here and let's worship the Lord together and let's pour everything we

have out to the Lord this morning. Could we get that QR code if if whatever we

It has been said, many of you know, you've seen uh YouTube or you've seen podcast interviews of Brother Wade. Many of you know you you can be seated for just a moment, please. Many of you know that Brother Wade operates in a prophetic ministry, but that's part of his ministry. What you found out last night, while he did prophesy and he gave us a prophetic word from God, what you found out last night

is he is a minister of God's word. You'll never hear Bobby Wade call himself a prophet. He's used in that ministry as as any of us can be and have been. He is a preacher of God's word. He is a man called by God to deliver a certain particular word for a particular people at a particular time. And that's what took place here last night. And I'm so glad that Brother Wade

has had the opportunity to come. He's been in Wisconsin before, but I'm so glad he's had an opportunity to come and be introduced to you. This was one of the most epic conferences of any type that I've ever been a part of. And it's because of you. It's because of God. It's because of God's connection with his people and what God is doing. Now, we're going to leave here. I Brother

Brother Wade, why don't you come, my brother? Uh would you I'm ready that would I'll talk forever if you leave me up here. Come on. Would you give the man of God a hand as he comes? Would you lift your heart? Would you open your spirit? Say, "God, we've invested in this. Now, God, would you pour into us in the name of Jesus?" God bless the man of God. Praise the Lord. And let's give the Lord all the praise we can.

I feel the Holy Ghost. Come on, lift your voice and let's just worship the Lord. I feel the Holy Ghost getting ready to do something in this house. Transformative. Oh, hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. The gifts of healing are in this room. Oh, hallelujah.

The gifts of healing are here. And the Lord is going to heal today. Praise God. Oh, hallelujah. The gifts of healing are different from the working of miracles. The working of miracles deals with the gift uh the working of miracles deals with the physical. The gifts of healing. It's the only spiritual gift in scripture that's plural

because the gifts of healing deal with the spirit and the soul. Oh, hallelujah. There is going to be such a river of God's healing that flows through this sanctuary. And it's in here right now. Not coming. It's here right now. Hallelujah. And it's so amazing. It's so amazing.

And um I want to direct your attention. First of all, I just want to say while we're going to the word of the Lord, the book of Romans, chapter number eight. Uh, but I want to say what an honor it has been to be here with all of you and to be in this great district among you

great men. And there truly is I I um would like to say I have such a you know great catalog of men's meetings that I've been in, but I don't believe in lying. But this has been by far one of the greatest men's meetings that I have been a part of and in recent memory and I want to say thank you for your

participation and you're creating the atmosphere for that. Of course, I want to give honor to uh your men's director uh brother Doug Chapman and and the team that works with him and uh just great leadership. Are you thankful for great leadership? Hallelujah. And again, I want to say thank you to the district board and for

allowing me to come and all of your hospitality. Thank you for that. Uh the book of Romans. Uh can y'all stand a little more here today? Um are you ready to go where the Holy Ghost wants to take us? Okay. I hope you don't have leaving on your mind. Well, I and I've got preaching on mine. Hallelujah. And um Romans chapter number 8 verse number 14.

For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. As many as led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Somebody shout, "Sons of God." Sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, aba,

aba, father. You've not received the spirit of adoption to fear, again to fear, but you've received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Aba, father." The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children then hes of God and joint hes with Christ. Oh hallelujah.

That's so amazing. Father, I thank you for the word of the Lord here today. I thank you that your word is forever settled. that there is nothing on the earth like your word. Lord, we know that heaven and earth is going to pass away, but your word will not. I ask now, Lord, that the that the living word would preach the written word. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, we bind every hindering spirit

and we cast it down in the name of Jesus. We praise you. We glorify you. We loose the gift of faith. We loose the working of miracles. And we loose the gifts of healing now in the name of Jesus that it would come by revelation and by understanding. Lay your hand on your head and ask the Lord to touch your mind to receive understanding right now in the name of Jesus.

Praise God. Praise God. And if you believe the Lord's going to do it, I want you to clap your hands to the Lord and give the Lord a shout of praise before you are seated. Oh, hallelujah. Oh, somebody give God some praise. There's militant power in this house. There is a militant anointing in this house. And somebody ought to praise the Lord. Just I I'm the men. It is the will of God for the men to be praisers.

Oh hallelujah. Oh hallelujah. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Hallelujah. I believe that it is the will of God for us to have joy. Oh hallelujah. I believe it is the will of God for us to have joy. And to make it more personal, I believe it is the will of God for me to have joy.

Hallelujah. And I THINK YOU OUGHT TO PRACTICE SAYING THAT UH FOR JUST a moment and just say, "It's the will of God for me to have joy." Praise God. And if you're not careful, you can get to believing that it's the will of GOD FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TO have it but me. It will BE OKAY FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TO HAVE JOY. BUT I I DON'T REALLY DESERVE ANY JOY. OH, PRAISE GOD. I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T

HAVE MUCH JOY. AND IT IS HARD FOR US TO GET A HOLD OF THIS. UH I HOPE you don't mind. I'm coming down here to walk. Praise the Lord. I'm I I don't have no notes. Praise the Lord. It's I told somebody one time, it's dangerous if I get away from my notes, but I don't have no notes to begin with. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. I I told somebody, Elder, I said, uh, I I go to these churches and they ask me,

"Do you have any scriptures?" And I don't know what I'm going to preach uh 90% of the time until I get into the service. Well, hallelujah. Well, this might as well just tell the truth. AND OUR PROBLEM HAS BEEN IS THAT WE HAVE learned how to operate without joy. People do not believe that it IS THE

WILL OF GOD FOR THEM TO HAVE JOY and they have CONFUSED JOY WITH HAPPINESS. OH, HALLELUJAH. HAPPINESS. UH IN ORDER TO HAVE HAPPINESS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN FOR YOU TO HAVE HAPPINESS. OH, HALLELUJAH. BUT JOY DOES NOT OPERATE ON THE CURRENCY OF HAPPENINGS. OH, I don't think you hear what I'm SAYING RIGHT NOW. JOY DOES NOT OPERATE

ON THE CURRENCY OF HAPPENINGS. JOY IS NOT HAPPINESS. AND THE REASON WHY PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT IT'S THE WILL OF GOD FOR US TO HAVE JOY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BELIEVED THAT JOY IS AN EMOTION. BUT I WANT YOU TO YOU DEAR BROTHERS TO HEAR ME TODAY THAT JOY IS NOT AN EMOTION. JOY IS A FRUIT THAT I BEAR. OKAY, y'all didn't hear what I JUST SAID. JOY IS A FRUIT THAT I BEAR.

JOY IS A FRUIT THAT I BEAR. NOW, I HAVE NOW, I HAVE LIVED, NOW I'M PARTIAL TO THE MIDWEST. I WAS BORN and raised IN MICHIGAN, AND I JUST WANT YOU WONDERFUL MEN TO KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN AROUND A LOT OF FRUIT trees in my life, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN APPLE TREE eat its own apples. Oh, NOW Y'ALL ARE LAUGHING, BUT I'M GETTING READY TO HELP Y'ALL WITH

SOMETHING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN APPLE TREE EAT ITS OWN APPLES. SO, IF JOY IS A FRUIT THAT I BEAR, I DON'T BEAR IT ON THE BEHALF OF MYSELF. I BEAR IT ON THE BEHALF OF SOMEBODY ELSE. You didn't hear what I JUST SAID. SO WHEN I COME UP ON SOMEBODY THAT DON'T HAVE ANY JOY, I'M NOT THE SOURCE OF JOY, BUT I'M CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE OF JOY. AND WHEN I WALK UP TO SOMEBODY THAT

AIN'T GOT NO JOY, I LOOK AT THEM AND SAY, "SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE. BUT WHAT I DO HAVE, I CAN RELEASE UNTO YOU." OH, I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE IN THIS HOUSE. OH, I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST MOVING IN HERE RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE SITTING BY SOMEBODY THAT DON'T HAVE ANY JOY. YOU'RE SITTING BY SOMEBODY DON'T HAVE ANY. BUT LOOK AT THEM AND SAY, "I KNOW YOU MAY NOT HAVE

ANY, BUT I HAVE SOME CUZ I'M CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE. And you can't release what you don't have. I don't have any peace. Well, I'm connected to the source of peace. HE

SAYS, "I AM THE VINE AND YOU ARE THE BRANCHES." AND HE SAID, "BECAUSE I'M THE VINE AND YOU ARE THE BRANCHES, YOU ARE THE SAME ESSENCE AS THE VINE." UH, HALLELUJAH. UH, y'all ain't hearing what I'm saying. UH, I DON'T I DON'T POSSESS UH I'M NOT THE SOURCE OF VICTORY, BUT MY MY GOOD BROTHERS, I'M NOT THE SOURCE OF VICTORY, BUT I'M CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE

OF VICTORY. AND BECAUSE I'M CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE OF VICTORY, THAT'S WHY I FEEL MIRACLE POWER IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE THE GIFT OF FAITH IS OPERATING IN THIS ROOM. AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW THAT IF YOU'LL FORGO WHAT YOU FEEL AND YOU WILL GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE, GOD WILL WORK A MIRACLE IN YOUR FAMILY RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

WELL, I'M TELLING YOU, I SAID IF YOU'LL GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE, GOD WILL GIVE YOU A MIRACLE RIGHT THIS MINUTE. I TELL HIM IF YOU'LL PRAISE THE LORD, THE WALLS ARE GOING TO COME DOWN. It

My God. So if if it IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU to have joy, then you must you must be connected to the source. Oh, hallelujah. OR OTHERWISE, YOU'LL JUST RIDE THE ROLLER COASTER OF emotional manipulation. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO BACK TO THE VICTORY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH.

OKAY. WELL, praise the Lord. That went over like a donut at a Weight Watchers convention. Let me try that again. I SAID, "IT'S THE WILL OF GOD FOR US TO GO BACK TO the victory of the local church." Oh, hallelujah. I I AM TELLING YOU MEN THAT IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO BACK TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH. DON'T BE WAITING ON YOUR WIFE TO LEAD. DON'T BE WAITING ON THE ON SOMEBODY ELSE

TO LEAD. GET UP IN THAT CHURCH WHEN YOUR PASTOR IS PREACHING AND SAY, "WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE IN HERE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET SOMEBODY WE'RE NOT GOING TO OUTSOURCE UH TO SOMEBODY ELSE WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING OURSELVES." OH, HALLELUJAH. OH, HALLELUJAH. GET UP IN THAT HOUSE IN THE MORNING. I SAY WE'RE GOING TO THE HOUSE OF GOD. WE'RE

NOT GOING TO LET AN INGROWN TOENAIL KEEP ME UP OUT THE HOUSE OF GOD. IT AIN'T GOING TO KEEP ME FROM WORK AND IT AIN'T GOING TO KEEP ME FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD. OKAY, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be I Well, praise the Lord. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just trying to tell the truth. We live in a generation that can't handle truth. We live in a generation that is soft

that wants YOU TO WATER IT DOWN. But I got news for you. We need men to stand up. We need men to be men. We got to have men to be men. We have to be. And so we HAVE TO FACILITATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN THE house that says, "Wait a minute. We're not out." You know, back in the day now,

Elder, you you you know doing what I'm going TO TELL YOU. SEE, I DON'T BELIEVE IN GRADUAL DELIVERANCE. WELL, HALLELUJAH. I don't believe IN GRADUAL DELIVERANCE. I BELIEVE IN I JESUS NEVER DID GRADUAL DELIVERANCE. BOY, it's getting quiet, but I know what I'M TALKING ABOUT. JESUS NEVER DID GRADUAL DELIVERANCE. EVERY DELIVERANCE HE EVER DID WAS RIGHT

NOW. WELL, BROTHER WADE, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN THIS WAY. AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG. AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE TIMELINE. I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. TIME MAY HAVE FORMED IT, BUT TIME DOESN'T HEAL IT. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU MEN RIGHT NOW.

TIME IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE. AND EVERY DAY YOU ALLOW THAT THING TO RULE AND REIGN IN YOUR LIFE IS ANOTHER DAY YOU'RE BEING ROBBED OF WHAT GOD HAS INTENDED FOR YOU. OH, somebody better lift your voice and pray in the Holy Ghost. But if YOU CAN'T PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST, BEGIN TO SAY JESUS.

Come on, tell the Lord, "I'm ready to be delivered today. Right now. I'M PUTTING MY VAPING PIN ON THE ALTAR. I'M GETTING RID OF MY NICADERM PATCHES. I'm sorry. I Is this okay? I

Oh, hallelujah. I don't need that cannibis. Now, see, y'all have to forgive me. YOU KNOW, I GOT A NATURALB BORN BROTHER. MY MY NATURALB BORN BROTHER HAD A $9,000 A MONTH CRYSTAL METH HABIT. Is this on $9,000 A MONTH?

AND GOD DELIVERED HIM IN ONE NIGHT. No AA, NO METHADONE CLINICS, NO NONE OF THAT. MY GOD, I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST. THERE IS A DELIVERING POWER IN THIS ROOM THAT SAYS YOU CAN LEAVE IT AT THE ALTAR AND WALK OUT OF HERE AT FREEDOM.

How do YOU KNOW THAT? BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, "WHOM THE SON HAS SET FREE, HE IS FREE INDEED." SOMEBODY OUGHT TO JUST GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND JUST PRAISE THE LORD FOR JUST A MINUTE. My Somebody OUGHT TO JUST STEP OUT IN THE AISLE AND GIVE GOD A RADICAL PRAISE.

I'M TELLING YOU, GOD DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE YOU AN EVENTUAL DELIVERANCE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE YOU A GRADUAL DELIVERANCE. WHOM THE SON HAS SET FREE IS FREE indeed now.

Well, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT CANNABIS CALMS MY NERVES AND YOU DON'T KNOW I HAVE TO HAVE THAT JUST TO GET THROUGH LIFE. THAT DEVIL IS A LIAR. EITHER GOD IS A A LIBERATOR OR HE'S NOT. EVEN EITHER GOD GIVES LIBERTY OR HE DOESN'T. EITHER GOD GIVES VICTORY OR HE DOESN'T. WELL, I'M PLOWING SOMETHING UP IN THE HOLY GHOST RIGHT NOW. HE EITHER DOES OR

HE DOESN'T. AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN SERVING A GOD THAT YOU CANNOT THAT CANNOT DELIVER. OUR GOD IS A DELIVERER. YOU DON'T NEED A YOU DON'T NEED A METHADONE CLINIC. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A 12STEP PROGRAM. YOU NEED TO SQUARE YOUR SHOULDERS BACK AS A MAN AND SAY, "I'M

COMING OUT OF THIS AND it's Hallelujah. My God.

$9,000 A MONTH. GOD DELIVERED HIM in one night. Hallelujah. One night. NO WITH NO NO WITHDRAWALS. OH, HALLELUJAH. YES. NO. SITTING THERE SAYING, "WELL, YOU KNOW, I I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE, YOU KNOW, I'LL HAVE TO WEAN DOWN FROM 9,000 TO 8,000 TO 7,000." UH, YOU KNOW, JUST A

LITTLE BIT. I'M GOING TO TELL Y'ALL SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. UH, MY BROTHER, HE'S now he's a little more more uh bold than I am. HE HAS A WRAP SHEET AS LONG AS THAT BENCH RIGHT THERE. WELL, praise the Lord. HE'S GOT A WRAP SHEET AS LONG AS THAT BENCH RIGHT THERE. I MEAN TO TELL YOU EVERY KIND OF FELONY

YOU CAN IMAGINE. MY MAN'S GOT IT. BUT INSTEAD OF HIM LAYING THERE AND MAKING EXCUSES, I'm sorry now. Y'all have to forgive me, but please forgive me. Does this sound too harsh? I'm sorry, but uh I I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE SOME OF YOU MEN IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW THAT GOD SO DESPERATELY HAS HIS HAND

UPON YOU. HE HAS SUCH A MOVE OF HIS SPIRIT PLANNED FOR YOU. BUT AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE to you have to get engaged with the process. NOW I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE A REVIEW. IT IS A REVIEW OF SOME. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT MY BROTHER DID. MY BROTHER. NOW,

HE WAS LIVING IN ARKANSAS IN A TENT. Praise the Lord. WHEN A TORNADO CAME THROUGH AND PICKED HIS TENT UP AND THREW IT IN A TREE. HALLELUJAH. That'll wake you up. Do you know what happened after that? He he HIS GIRLFRIEND NOW WIFE LOOKED AT HIM

AND said she said, "Are you GOING TO LIVE YOUR REST OF THE YOUR LIFE YOUR REST OF YOUR LIFE like this?" And something clicked. He said he he looked AND HE SAID, "ABSOLUTELY NOT. I'M GOING TO ASK SOME OF YOU. ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN LIVING? Are you going to live THE REST OF YOUR

LIFE IN FEAR AND TORMENT AND HAVE LIKE A HOOK IN YOUR NOSE AND PULLING YOU AROUND AND USING YOUR EMOTIONS AGAINST YOU? IS THIS OKAY? I'M SORRY. I IS THIS HOW YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE?

I I I I WANT TO SEE A SHOW OF HANDS IN HERE. HOW MANY HOW MANY HAVE CAME INTO THE CHURCH IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS? HOW MANY ARE THE FIRST ONES THAT CAME INTO THE CHURCH? You are the first ones that came into the church. In other words, your first generation, THE FIRST IN YOUR FAMILY. LIFT YOUR HANDS. I want you to look around

CUZ I'M GETTING READY. THE LORD IS GETTING READY TO BLOW YOUR PREAMP FUSE RIGHT NOW. THE LORD'S GETTING READY TO BLOW YOUR FUSE RIGHT NOW. SEE, YOU THOUGHT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THE POINT. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THE POINT. BUT MY BROTHER, I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME. THERE IS A A PRINCIPLE CALLED FIRST FRUITS. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF IT? IT'S CALLED FIRST

FRUITS. You see, WHEN YOU GOT THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST, WHEN GOD FILLED YOU WITH HIS SPIRIT, YOU WERE NOT THE POINT. THE FIRST FRUITS, UH, WHEN YOU SAY FIRST FRUITS, UH, FIRST FRUITS IS NOT THE POINT. IT'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT. OH, HALLELUJAH. It's an announcement. IT'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THIS IS NOT

ALL THERE IS. I AM AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AFTER ME. I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD WHAT I JUST SAID. GOD GAVE YOU THE HOLY GHOST AND YOU WERE THE FIRST IN YOUR FAMILY AS AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AFTER ME. THERE'S A GENERATION COMING AFTER ME. OH, I WISH I HAD SOMEBODY GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE IN THIS HOUSE.

GOD DELIVERED YOU SO YOUR BABIES WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. GOD BROUGHT YOU OUT SO YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU AND TO YOUR CHILDREN. OH, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW. SOMEBODY ELSE OUGHT TO GET OUT AND JUST RUN AROUND FOR JUST A MINUTE.

I THINK WE BETTER TAKE 10 MORE SECONDS AND GIVE GOD A HIGH PRAISE IN HERE. I'D LIKE TO HELL I'D LIKE TO TELL HELL HERE TODAY THAT I'M AN ANNOUNCEMENT. I'M AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT MY FAMILY IS GOING TO WRECK THE DEVIL'S KINGDOM. I'M AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT MY BABIES ARE NOT GOING TO BE IN BONDAGE.

YOU KNOW, NOBODY IN OUR FAMILY GETS DELIVERED OF THAT. YOU KNOW, NOBODY GOES THROUGH AND HAS ANY LESS THAN TWO OR THREE MARRIAGES. YOU KNOW THAT THE FIRST MARRIAGE NEVER WORKS. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, BUT I GOT NEWS FOR HELL HERE TODAY. I GOT NEWS HERE TODAY FOR THAT DEVIL. I WANT HELL TO KNOW THAT JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A PROCLIVITY, JUST BECAUSE IT'S IN MY DNA, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S MY DESTINY.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR DADDY DID. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR GRANDDADDY DID. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR GREAT GRANDDADDY DID. WHEN I GOT BORN AGAIN, A WATERING SPIRIT, MY DNA CHANGED. OH, SOMEBODY BETTER PRAISE GOD IN THIS HOUSE. NO, SOMEBODY BETTER PRAISE GOD. I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST.

BROTHER FLETCHER, I GOT MURDERERS IN MY FAMILY LINEAGE. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT FIGURATIVELY. I'M TALKING ABOUT LITERALLY. I GOT MURDERERS IN MY FAMILY LINEAGE. I GOT ADULTERERS IN MY FAMILY LINEAGE. BUT I GOT NEWS FOR YOU HERE TODAY. I DON'T CARE WHAT WAS IN THEIR LIFE. WHEN GOD SAVED ME, I I WAS THE FIRST FRUITS OF WHAT WAS GOING TO COME after

You know, nobody's supposed to come out of that. You know, nobody in your family uh didn't grow up without being an alcoholic. And if you're not careful, if you're not careful, you'll let people make you feel guilty about your deliverance. I I I'm sorry. I

THIS IS WHY YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU GO TO. THIS IS WHY YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHERE WHO YOU HAVE COUNSEL WITH. HEY, are you HEARING ME BACK THERE? IS IT MAKING REAL CLEAR BACK THERE? YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU COUNSEL WITH BECAUSE WHO OH, GOD. UH, CAN I HAVE JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES? I DON'T MEAN TO BORE some of us, BUT UH, ARE YOU LISTENING BACK THERE? YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL.

Oh, hallelujah. He was on a porch. And I don't know how long he was there, but the Bible said he was sick for 38 years. And you know what? I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, BRO. I DON'T THINK HE WANTED to go there. I'LL BE REAL HONEST WITH YOU. I DON'T THINK HE WANTED TO GO THERE. I THINK HE WENT THERE SO HE WOULD SO HE WOULD FEEL comfortable

in the waiting oh God. You see MY BROTHER THE BIBLE SAID THAT THERE WAS FIVE PORCHES AND THERE WAS A MULTITUDE THERE. NOW, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 14, A MULTITUDE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 5,000. SO, THERE WAS POSSIBLY 5,000 PEOPLE ON

THOSE porches waiting. Well, praise the Lord. Waiting, WAITING, WAITING FOR SOMETHING. OH, HALLELUJAH. THIS IS WHY YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU GO TO WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY YOU WANT THEM. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY YOU

ANTICIPATE A FORTHCOMING EVENT. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE PARTICIPATING IN A FORTHCOMING EVENT. WAITING. AND WHEN HE GOT THERE, HE HAD TO DEAL WITH A HIJACKER OF MERCY. YOU KNOW, BETHESDA MEANS HOUSE OF MERCY.

THEY HAD WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH PEOPLE THAT HAD TATTOOS. OKAY, it's got quiet now. I Oh, hallelujah. We didn't KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH PEOPLE THAT HAD TATTOOS WHEN THEY CAME IN THE CHURCH 40 YEARS AGO AND THEY HAD TATTOOS. WE WERE LIKE

WE WE WAS WATCHING THEM LIKE A ONEEYED CAT WATCHING THREE RAT HOLES. Uh I don't know about them. I don't know if God can work on them. I don't know if God could do anything

with them. They got tattoos and them having tattoos means that they're not a clean sinner. They probably been to prison. They probably got some issues. They probably We like the clean sinners

around here. Like what in the world does that even mean? Clean center. We can't have, you know, They probably stay out to 3:00 a.m. probably ride a Harley-Davidson sells Hell's Angels on the back. And we didn't know what to do with people that that came in like that because our protocol said,

"Oh, hallelujah. Am I gonna survive this? Is this okay? You remember I said 40 years ago, not today. Hallelujah. And then, oh, woe be unto us if they came in and had piercings everywhere. That's automatic elimination. That's it. PIERCINGS IN THE EYEBROWS, PIERCINGS.

Piercings in the ears, PIERCINGS IN THE NOSE. NOW, I I I honestly I never got that because I I don't personally like pain. Oh, hallelujah. I personally never understood that, but whatever. PROTOCOL. AND MAN, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY CAME INTO CHURCH, THEY HAD THEY LOOKED LIKE

AND THESE PORCHES WERE STRUCTURES OF STAGNATION. WE'RE SITTING THERE IN STRUCTURES OF STAGNATION. THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO GET UP TODAY. WE'LL EVEN MAKE A CONFERENCE FOR YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ON THE PORCH.

back in 2009. He called me up. He said, "I was at the Econo Lodge in Martin, Tennessee." And he goes, he goes, "Bobby Bobby Wade." I said, "Yes, sir." He goes, "I got some good news. I got some bad news." I'm like, "Well, okay." He says, "I got some good news and I got some bad news." I said, "All right." and he was a

for real prophet. He said, I said, "Well, just give it to me." He said, "I'm going to tell right now." He said, "The bad news is is your finances are cursed." I said, "Well, that's not good." He said, But I got some good news. He said,

"God's going to let you turn it around." And he said, "You're in the position you're in because you give God what belongs to him after you pay your phone bill and your house note and your car note. Is this okay? I'm Oh, hallelujah. I'm talking about setting the house in order.

I'm not talking about manipulation. I'm talking about I don't have to, I get to. I'm talking about I'm talking about divine partnership. See, sir, God don't need your money. See, we've been thinking all this time. Oh, God. I didn't intend to say any of this. This is what happens when you don't have notes.

God don't need your money, sir. He ain't never needed your money. He ain't never needed your money. But when I when I give freely, not manipulative, but freely because I think it's a pretty good tradeoff when I give to him what belongs to him

first and he blesses the rest. Hallelujah. He blesses the rest. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. I'm fixing to tell I'm telling some of y'all right now how to how to get some alignment in your house.

And he said to me that that that that prophet told me he said it. See, I I'll say this before I go on. He doesn't need my money. But when I open my hand to him and I don't look at it as paying a bill, I LET HELL KNOW SOMETHING.

I SEND A SIGNAL TO HELL AND TO EVERY OTHER LION SPIRIT THAT SAYS, "I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT." YEAH. I SEND A SIGNAL THAT SAYS, "WAIT A MINUTE. I'M NOT PAYING, I'M PARTNERING." WHEN I RETURN WHAT BELONGS TO GOD, I SAY TO HIM, "I TRUST YOU. I AM PARTNERING

WITH YOU. AND I Oh, somebody lift your voice and worship the Lord right now. I'm Come on, somebody lift your voice and worship the Lord right now.

District board members, are we okay? That prophet told me, he said, Bobby, he said, IF YOU WILL, IF YOU WILL REPENT AND DO IT GOD'S WAY. HE SAID, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THREE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. I said, OKAY.

HE SAID, "THE FIRST THING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE UNCOMMON FAVOR." OH, HALLELUJAH. SEE, I'M GOING TO TELL Y'ALL SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU. JUST SOMEBODY. You hear what I JUST SAID? EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU. JUST SOMEBODY. GOD CAN GIVE YOU ONE MOMENT OF FAVOR ON

Uncommon health. GOD WILL TOUCH THE YOUR BODY. GOD WILL BRING GOD WILL BRING healing to you. It'll be uncommon. Okay, I can only tell you what I live. I'm not telling you somebody else's story. I'm telling you mine. And he SAID, "THE THIRD THING THAT WILL HAPPEN, the third thing will happen is

God will cause you to live in a debt-free house." And let me tell you what happened. I MY BIG OLD 600 PLUS POUND SELF FELL ON THE THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS GOT ON THAT BED AT THE ECONO LODGE. OH, HALLELUJAH. I FELL ACROSS THAT BED AND I BEGIN TO CRY AND BEGIN TO REPENT.

AND I TOLD THE LORD, BOBBY, I TOLD THE LORD THAT IF YOU WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE, I WILL NEVER DO IT ANOTHER WAY. AND I'M TELLING YOU, IMMEDIATELY, NOT LATER. I'M TALKING ABOUT IMMEDIATELY, THINGS BEGIN TO TURN AROUND. GOD'S GIVEN SOME OF YOU A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR FAMILY AND IN YOUR

I can tell you this much that I can say this because sir, I don't have an ulterior motive. But God, some of you are are going to be the first in a long time in your family history that's actually owned their own home.

I've never done this in a meeting like this, my brother. Never. Never. I've never done this in a meeting like this ever. GOD SENT ME TO Wisconsin cuz it's a time for a shift.

IT'S TIME FOR SOME things to shift. IT'S TIME FOR PASTORS IN HERE FOR YOUR VISION TO SHIFT. THERE'S A SHIFT HAPPENING IN THE MIDWEST. AND GOD HAS GOT HIS EYES ON THIS DISTRICT. OKAY, some of y'all don't believe that, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, GOD'S GOT HIS EYES

ON THIS DISTRICT. AND GOD IS SHIFTING PARADIGMS. AND THINGS THAT WE NEVER DID BEFORE. AND THINGS THAT WE'VE NEVER OPERATED IN. AND PLACES WE HAVE NEVER WALKED, WE'RE STARTING TO WALK IN NOW BECAUSE THE TIME IS IS NOW.

We're running around, BUT GOD IS GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO JOBS YOU DIDN'T EVEN QUALIFY FOR. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE INCREASE THAT YOUR EDUCATION DOESN'T MATCH.

I I'm still hitting a little bit of a brick wall, but that's okay. It's not a devil. It's our human thinking. It's not a devil. It's our human thinking. And it's not because you're evil. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE JUDGING WHAT'S BEING SAID THROUGH THE LENS OF YOUR current situation.

BUT I MADE A COVENANT WITH GOD IN 2009 THAT IF YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO TURN IT AROUND, I'LL NEVER DO IT ANOTHER WAY. IF YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE, I'M NOT BUYING A STICK OF BUBBLE GUM.

I'M NOT GOING I'M NOT BUYING A SODA. I'M NOT I'M NOT PAYING MY CELL PHONE BILL. I'M NOT PAYING MY HOUSE NOTE CUZ I WANT ORDER IN THIS HOUSE. I WANT ORDER IN MY HOUSE. AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING HERE TODAY. GOD HAS SO BLESSED MY LIFE. I DON'T DESERVE TO

BE IN THE WISCONSIN DISTRICT MEN'S CAMP. I DON'T DESERVE IT. I'M NOT BEING SELF-DEPRECATING. I'M TELLING THE GOD'S TRUTH. THERE ARE HUNDREDS MORE QUALIFIED THAN I AM.

But favor, FAVOR WILL OUTLAST QUALIFICATIONS. FAVOR. THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS TO PUT ON THE MEN OF THIS DISTRICT. THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS TO PUT ON THE CHURCHES OF THIS DISTRICT. GOD WANTS TO UNLEASH FAVOR ON THIS DISTRICT. THE LIKES YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN.

COME ON, SOMEBODY. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO GET OUT OF THEIR SEAT AND JUST MAKE YOUR WAY UP TO THE front of this church. Come and stand.

My God, IT'S TIME TO GET OFF THE PORCH. TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAITING.

I'M JUST GOING TO TELL TELL YOU MEN SOMETHING. I'm just going to tell you wonderful men something. You work hard. You've given yourself in this c this men's camp. I sure hoped I sure hope that what I have preached doesn't sound like a rebuke. I didn't come to rebuke anybody.

And I don't know I don't know your lives. I I don't follow any of you on social media that I can remember. I don't have any of your phone numbers. I have a couple pastors, but I'm talking about the the the the majority of you men in this room. I 99.9% of you, I don't have your phone numbers.

And I don't mean this rudely, but I don't want them. Oh, hallelujah. Cuz I don't want to run the risk of offending you when I can't return a text. I'm just telling the truth. When I can't return a text or a call and I can't be your buddy.

I don't want to run the risk of offending you when you see me and say that Bobby Wade is a jerk. I don't need you to tell me that. I I already know. I have been privileged to be here and I would never in a million years take advantage of something. Never.

But the Lord sent me to this district. This is the first time I can remember in a district meeting that I have I have ever talked about any of this. I'm talking about returning to God what belongs to him first. I'm telling us right now, I don't know your life, but I'm I'm saying to these men of this

district, IF YOU WILL JUST TRY GOD, you will see a change. You will begin to see change within 30 days. Things will begin to shift. I'm telling you what I know. Things will begin to shift in your

personal life. There will be a peace THAT WILL COME INTO YOUR HOUSE.

All I know is that when I repented before the Lord, and bro, I'm going to tell you something. Don't let this nice stuff fool you. I know what welfare is about. I remember getting food stamps when it looked like money.

When food stamps look like dollars. We had no bridge card, no plastic. Come up there looking like we got a credit card. No, it was Everybody knew. Yep. Old boy getting wolf here. Yeah.

I know what I know what it's like to eat welfare cheese. And you ain't had no grilled cheese till you had some commodity cheese. You young folks don't know what I'm talking about. But I'll tell you right now, some grilled cheese with commodity cheese. Forget about it.

ate pork out the can. Spam King vitamin cereal with powdered milk. That's nasty. Whoever made that is going to hell.

They going to hell. I'm telling you, they're going straight to hell. They're not pass and go. They ain't collecting $200. Powdered milk is of the devil. Tweet that. Put that on Instagram. Powdered milk is of the devil. I'm not even convinced my mom saved

cuz my mom tricked us one time and made powdered milk and put it in the regular milk carton. Now she ain't saved. But I don't have to live that way today

because I partnered with God. I partnered with God. I part I didn't pay. I partnered. I partnered. I want us to lift our hands to the Lord and make a covenant with the Lord.

I want us to lift our hands. This this meeting the theme of this meeting is arise. Arise. Arise. We're advancing. After you have arisen, you have to advance. I want us to make a covenant with the

Lord and tell the Lord, we're not going to do it another way. We're going to do it his way. I I know that we're men and I know I know that we're men and I know that we have we don't like to ask for directions and we think we have it figured out and we would rather go 10 miles the wrong way than to admit we went the wrong way.

Our wife is in the passenger seat saying, "Are you sure this is the way?" Yes. Well, we passed that bush three times. I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. QUIET, WOMAN.

Some of y'all better not try that. But your wise, we won't be hearing from you for a while. I know where I'm going. I know what I'm doing. But what we've been doing ain't all together worked.

God's trying to invite you into something. He's trying to invite you into partnership. This is where he's wanting to do. He's trying to invite you into trust. An instruction is an invitation to document trust.

An instruction is an invitation to document trust. Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac and bring him to me. God, you know Abraham ain't going to do that. You know God, you God, you know Abraham ain't going to do that. And the Lord's like, just hide and

watch. you you know he's not going to do that. God, you know for a fact he ain't going to do it. And God's like, God, you know for a fact I can get Job to curse you to your face. See, some of y'all don't know the

conversations God has had about you. You don't know some of the Listen, you don't know some of the conversations God's had about you. You don't know some of the things that God has said about you in eternity. Right. He said, "You think you think they're going to fold like a cheap card table?

You think Job is going to curse me? Just watch. Just watch. Just watch. I know them. Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew you. I I had knowledge of you, sir. God sees strength you don't see.

I'm not looking at weak men in this room. I'm looking at men that have more strength than you think you have. God's not looking for your perfection. He's looking for your partnership. There's nothing I won't give.

There's no place I won't go. Nothing is off limits. I want us one more time to lift our hands and say to the Lord, I'm ready to partner with you. I'm ready to partner with you. Come on, tell the Lord, I'm ready to partner with you.

You're going to have first place. You're going to be first in every area. I'm telling you, a shift is coming to this district in a magnanimous way. And it's starting right here among these men.

Come on, let's lift our voice to the Lord. Tell the Lord, "I'm not going to do it another way." Tell the Lord, "Come into covenant with God." Come into covenant with God. Come on. Come in covenant with God. Come on. Come in a covenant with God.

Make a covenant. Tell the Lord it's not going to be another way. Come on. Tell the Lord it's not going to be another way. Tell the Lord. Tell the Lord. Come on. Go home and tell your wives. Tell your wives. If you're married, go home and tell your wives. And we're going to set the house in order. Let's We're going to set the house in order. You don't have to go in there like some bull in a china shop. Just set set. We

know that what we've been doing isn't been working. Hallelujah. You can't have dominion in the city if you don't have it in your home. If you don't have it in the four walls, how you going to scream about having dominion in the city and you don't have it in your four walls?

And that don't happen by screaming. That don't happen by screaming. That don't happen by going in the house acting like some male chauvinist. I certainly am not suggesting being weak,

but being strong means confessing that we haven't led like we should have. But today is a new day. Today's a new day. Lift your hands, son.

Today's a new day. Today's a new day. Today's a new day. Today is a new day. Today is a day for a turnaround. Come on,

Every breath that I take, every moment I'm away, have your way in me, Lord. I give you my heart, give you my soul. I live for you alone. First fruits.

First fruits. I don't know if Brother Wade would remember this. I was pastoring a daughter work out of our home church and my wife and I both worked and the the money just wasn't going as far as it should be going. We were invested in the church. So I told my wife, I said, "You know what? We going to give our way out of this." Did anybody ever said that before? I said, "We going to give our way out of this." You know what happened? Things

got even tighter. We started giving more money. We had less money available. It got tighter. I called brother Bobby Wade on the phone. I said, "Hey, bro. I've heard you me mention this first fruits thing before." I said, "Tell me about that." And what he told you today, he told me 15 years ago on the phone, he said, "When you start giving, God's going to give you uncommon favor. God's going to give you uncommon health, and God's going to allow you to live debtree."

Every single word, we live debtree. I don't know if anybody's ever heard of Dave Ramsey, but if you haven't, might ought to look into it. uncommon favor, places I shouldn't be, Brother Wade. Things I shouldn't be doing, I'm not qualified for. But God God qualifies the called. He doesn't call the qualified.

If you were looking for a word of prophecy, I want you to lift your hands right now and speak it. Prophesy into your world. God, I'm going to live in first fruits. I'm going to live in first fruits. And because I am, I'm going to live I'm going to live with uncommon favor because of this weekend. I'm going to live with the uncommon health. And God, because I'm willing, I believe

you for debt-free homes in Jesus name. in Jesus name. Before you leave, uh, Brother Stone has got a couple of things that he needs to say. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for helping make this the greatest men's conference that I can recall. God has taken Wisconsin district, which means you and me, and

God is doing a shift into a more powerful, more mighty move of God that we've ever seen before in Jesus' name. Could we clap our hands unto the Lord this morning? If you believe it, let God know you believe it. Let's give our attention to Brother Stone for just a moment.

It's never been about I am a good Jesus name. Amen. Amen.

I don't I don't have any like super fancy gift, but um I wish I did. But we have one amazing men's director. Amen. We just give it up to brother Chapman right now. Thank you, brother, for everything that you've done. His vision for the men's ministry of Wisconsin stretches far beyond these walls. Amen. We're going to continue to to do everything that we can and we need your support as often as we can get it. Every prayer matters. Every single time that

you can put men's ministry on your prayers, we would appreciate that. Thank you so much. Um, couple last minute housekeeping things that we don't want to talk about all the time, but uh, you know, we're we got to we got to clean up, right? Got to clean up our dorms. Those are in the dorms. We got the brooms in every dorm that's got a hard floor. They're there for a reason. Use them. Right. The uh there's vacuums in the in the the carpeted. There's a vacuum. Find it. Use it. Um in order to

keep cost down, we don't have a bunch of day to clean the place, right? So, we we need your help. We really need your help. On your way out of here, if there's a piece of garbage on the ground, pick it up, throw it away. It's it's really easy. How easy. One little thing that every one of us can do. Many hands make light work. Amen. Amen. And we can make an impact on the campground by just picking up one more piece of trash. Right now, there's also people that are already cleaning that left a little bit early. If you could remind them of the same thing, that

would be amazing. That would be just amazing. It'll help us with the after clean and it'll make things go that much smoother. So, I really really appreciate it. Um, also, uh, one last shout out for brother Parker. He's got some books over there and I can tell you he's got he's got a couple devotionals right now that he that he's that he's got over there and uh every man should go through those devotionals. They are absolutely amazing. And there's one book that's

like 15 bucks. It gets you through the whole year. Like you can't spend $15 on anything better than that. All right. Amen. Amen. Other other than that, we're asking that you of course you clean up, but also um the dorms we the sooner you guys can get out of here, the the better. Not that we're kicking you out, but we got we're going to try come back and clean obviously. And the sooner that we can get the everyone we got all volunteers, right? And they got they want to get home just like you guys want to get home. Um you don't have to you can still congregate and have fun and do

whatever if you want to, but uh we just want to get the campground clean. Amen. Can we just pray one more time? Oh yeah. KN knives are in the back. That back over there. And then u one more thing, we got a U on our website, we have a spot that's basically a 2026 men's camp recap and uh we're going to get some notes on there from every single message. It'll be from the morning session, the evening session so

that you can go back to it. Um it'll also have the link of the YouTube on there. And then also there's a spot on that main page that lets you upload 10 pictures that you took at men's camp this year. And I'm limiting it to 10 because I don't need if we had Oh, by the way, we had 256 guys here yesterday. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. But that would be 2,500

pictures, right? So, if we could just, you know, keep it to 10 pictures each, you know, that'd be great. Or, you know, even even five of your favorite pictures, right? Then we can use those for for the website. We can use those for future men's camps. And I I I also didn't get to see everything, right? And neither did you, and neither did you, and neither did you. So, if we can see the experience that everybody had from a different lens, it makes that much more of an impact on the kingdom. Amen. Amen. Let's just pray one more time before we get out of here. Dear Jesus, I

just thank you so much for this camp. Lord Jesus, I thank you so much for Brother Wade. Lord Jesus, I thank you so much for Brother Chapman, Lord Jesus. I thank you so much for Brother Booker, Jesus. I just pray that you just continue to to take these messages, Lord Jesus. Help them to just stir in our spirit, Lord God, and just take that step tomorrow, Lord Jesus. That step tonight, Lord Jesus, in our family, that step with our ministry, Lord Jesus. That step with our church, Lord Jesus. I pray God that you ignite every every man's step in this room, Lord Jesus. Help us, Lord God, to ignite the next generation,

Lord Jesus. That this isn't a one-time thing. We're putting our foot down and this is a a proclamation that our family is going to continue in your word, continue in your name, Lord Jesus, and we're not going to hold nothing back, Lord Jesus. God, I just pray for the the safety of the travel for everyone here today, Jesus. as we go back to our homes, as we go as we travel, Lord. I pray that you just keep us all protected, Lord Jesus. Help us, Lord God, to just continue with this this passion and this this spirit, Lord Jesus. I just thank you, Jesus, again,

for every single volunteer here, Lord Jesus. Help us, Lord God, to just continue with your presence, Lord. In Jesus name I pray. And all the men said, "Amen." Have a wonderful day.
