I’m going to go to the scriptures myself and know that I too can have an ongoing fervent relationship with Jesus we’re United in this place no matter how different we may be and in this place y’all tonight we’re underneath an open Heaven the commanded blessing of God is upon us every single one of us has an assignment and the day is coming when we’re going to have to give an account there was a commercial that came to my mind it was a Honey Nut Cheerios commercial this lady’s got a hairnet on
she’s been working in the factory all day long they’re interviewing her and she says you know I’m just like regular Mom working moms sometimes after work I got to go to the grocery store so I do I run my errands I go to the grocery store and she says sometimes I’m walking down the aisleway in GR in the grocery store just one aisle after the other and every aisle I go down I see people going they’re wondering why they why they can smell what to them smells like fresh bread baking somewhere or cookies
somewhere and then she said every now and then I’ll walk past and I’ll just put people out of their misery and tell them hey you’re just smelling me because I smell like the environment I’ve been in all [Applause] day so when we leave from a place like this we go back into our homes and our jobs and our neighborhoods and our high schools and our universities and people are just like where you been something different about you you smell like the environment you’ve been in all day Lord Jesus I thank you for this
place that is permeating with the fragrance of your presence I thank you Father in jesus’ name that our lives will have the residue of your presence on them that father from this place we will never ever be the same again we are your daughters Lord and we are coming over your word now to hear a fresh word straight from the mouth of God lord I am so glad that everybody else in this room is here but I didn’t come to see everybody else I came to see you and so Lord I asking that you would open up the windows of heaven and come down and
speak to your daughters we are listening in jesus’ name everybody agreed when they said amen amen amen you may take your seats years and years ago man my babies were little I remember this because I traveled to Memphis on one particular occasion and I remember this because I was exhausted I was so tired um you know my kids were small at the time and I happened to take this particular trip uh by myself and I traveled to Memphis and I remember being so excited when the lady picked me up from the airport that
was a part of the church that I was going to be ministering at she took me to from the airport to the hotel it was an early evening I was so glad anybody ever been glad to just go to bed at 8:00 p.m. I could not wait I laid down in the bed ready to get a good night of sleep and I was jolted awake about 2:00 3:00 in the morning because there was a train that went by right outside the window of our hotel the conductor of the train was sitting on the horn as the long train blazed right outside of the hotel where
I was sleeping I sat straight up in bed sort of alarmed by the noise went and looked out of the window and realized that literally the train tracks were right there and it was one of those very long trains with a lot of cars that went whisking by it took a while for the train to finally pass by and settled I tried to go uh back to sleep as best I could lady came back to pick me up that particular morning because the conference started I had to be there very early in the morning so it was about 6:30 or so anyway that I was going
to have to get up and get dressed and get ready for a 7:15 or 730 pickup and so I got in the car and I didn’t really really say anything no big deal we had a great day at the conference I went back to sleep that night thinking of course that the night before had been a fluke and that that train wasn’t coming by again went to sleep about 8:30 900 p.m.
so glad to get a good full night of sleep but 3:00 a.m. you guessed it that train went roaring by right outside the window I sat straight up in bed not believing that this was happening again and I couldn’t even get back to sleep that night I couldn’t wait for that sweet lady to come pick me up the next morning I sat down in the car and I said so hey did you know that there is a train that goes by about 3:00 in the morning at least the last two mornings that that I’ve been here that train has gone by in the middle of the night woken
me straight up out of my sleep and she had this look of complete horror and regret written all over her face she said I am so sorry I didn’t even think about the fact that that train goes by because those of us who live in this community have grown so used to the sound of the train that it doesn’t even occur to us when it’s passing through anymore it occurs to me that those of us who live particularly in this western part of the world where the presence of God has been so lavishly given to us where on every every street corner we
her church with a pastor that preaches the good news of Jesus Christ where we can turn on Christian radio stations or go across town to the Christian bookstore where we live as women in a day and age and generation where there have never been ever in history so many bible study resources by women for women could it be that we’ve grown so used to the blessing of the presence of God that when the train of God’s glory Falls when God’s presence comes and marks and and and permeates our presence that we don’t even
recognize it anymore that God has so blessed us that we’re too blessed for our own good that we don’t see the Fingerprints of God in our lives that when there’s even just a hint of disappointment or discouragement or frustration or irritation in our life that we are blinded to the fact that even when things are dark the light of God’s presence can still be found if we’ll just open up our eyes may we never be desensitized to the presence of God and if you have your Bibles and you want to look with me at a passage of
scripture I’ll just read it to you that I want to point out today if you still you know actually use a Bible with paper Pages like I do or your iPhone your iPad any manner of eyess is fine in Luke Chapter 2 there are a group of people are about to be in the presence of God and they’re not even going to recognize it I will tell you as you turn to Luke Chapter 2 that the author Luke wrote this gospel and recorded these stories really to show us how to have an encounter with Jesus to not miss him when his presence is near and by the way
this is our goal as Believers this is the reason why he died on the cross of Calvary so that we could not just know about him but so that we can encounter him we’re not just supposed to read read in the Old Testament about how he divided the Red Sea or caused the walls of Jericho to come tumbling down or met with a man named Moses in the form of a burning bush or showed up as the angel of the Lord in a wine press while a fearful timid Gideon was beating out wine uh threshing wheat rather in that wine press we’re not just supposed to
read about others that had an encounter with Jesus we’re not just supposed to see and applaud and experience the testimonies of other people there’re supposed to encourage us to realize that if regular folks like that can encounter him so can we and Luke comes along and he writes story after Story in his gospel to show us that we can have an encounter with Jesus these people that he is writing to and that he’s writing about we’re in a time of national Decay there is chaos happening and swirling
around them morally and socially and you and I can relate to that because they were not just in a time of National Decay so are we our country is in a state of more social DEA Decay and decline than we’ve ever seen before and the more God is marginalized and segmented to the periphery of society the worse things are going to get the more he is completely ignored and disregarded the more we’re going to see the influx of chaos and destruction but today I don’t want y’all to worry about the White
House I want to get to your house I want to talk talk about the destruction and the Decay happening maybe underneath the roof of your own home Luke is writing not just then but now to people who need a savior folks who are waiting on a hero to show up and rescue them from the plight of their own circumstances Luke was writing to them but by the Holy Spirit he is writing to us today for any of you who are in a state of decline in some area of your life where we’re seeing against the backdrop of Darkness this need we have for the Savior to
manifest himself for us to not just know about him from afar applauding him and the testimonies of other people but if anybody wants to experience him themselves then Luke is writing to you and I want somebody to know this today that sometimes sometimes your difficulties are less about the Enemy being against you and more about God wanting you to show wanting to show you what it looks like when he is for you sometimes it’s about him finally wanting his daughter’s eyes to be open so that when he shows up they’re
sensitive enough to see him Luke 2:25 says and behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon this man was righteous and devout and looking for the consolation he was looking for some hope y’all looking for the consolation of Israel and the Holy Spirit was upon him and it had been revealed to him by the holy spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ and he came in the spirit into the temple and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to carry out for him the custom of the law he took Jesus he
went over to this couple grabbed this 40-day old child into his arms and he blessed God and said now Lord you can let your servant depart in peace because according to Thy word my eyes have seen your salvation you have prepared your salvation in the presence of all the people a light of Revelation the glory of thy People Israel and Mary and Joseph they were amazed at the things that were being said about their son Jesus Christ here on this occasion Mary and Joseph have come into the temple for um the purification ceremony it was traditional
it was ceremonial that about 40 days after a baby was born and the purification process had taken place that the parents of a new baby would bring their baby into the temple to offer specific sacrifices a burnt offering a sin offering um and just to present their child to the Lord now traditionally when folks came into the temple they would bring sacrifices and if you look back into the Book of Leviticus the details of those sacrifices are given they would need to have a pigeon for a particular sacrifice they would need to have a lamb for
another sacrif rifice and there is a caveat I’m just going to take a little Rabbit Trail for a second cuz I love that y’all like rabbit Trails there’s a little caveat given in Luke Leviticus chap 12 that says that if someone is not wealthy enough if they do not have the resources to actually purchase a lamb for this sacrifice that they actually can just bring two pigeons and I didn’t read all the details here but a few verses earlier than where we started in verse 25 it tells us that Mary and Joseph come into to the temple
with two pigeons or two Turtle does they they don’t have a lamb which indicates to us that they have expended so much of their resources that they are in a state of poverty at least enough that they were not able to afford their own lamb they’ve got two pigeons it’s all they had to bring on this occasion as they bring their new baby into the Tabernacle to present him to the Lord they’ve got these two pigeons which means that when they walked into the temple people would have looked at them and recognized them
as a couple that was um in that had insufficient funds as a couple that was lacking as a poor couple they would have been looked down upon people would have marginalized them because they did not have the accoutrements of wealth that everybody else in the building had so they did not have a lamb and yet they have in their possession the lamb that takes away the sins of the world can I just say to anybody who is in the room and you felt like an outcast because you don’t wear what everybody else wears you
can’t afford to drive what everybody else drives you you don’t have the resources to live in the neighborhood where everybody else lives listen my friend even if you do not have a lamb you might be in the perfect position to make sure you have intimacy with the lamb who takes away the sins of the world and can I tell you that sometimes it is our affluence that keeps us from having the Lamb of God in our grasp intimacy and fellowship with him like never before the people that I have met that have more of an intrical intimate
ongoing fervent passionate relationship with Jesus Christ they are not the people sometimes that live in the Mansion on the hill it’s the people in a Hut in a village with thatched roofs and dirt floors who have in their desperation had an encounter with Jesus Christ and y I have met people in third world countries who pray for us oh they pray for us they feel bad for us because they say we pray anemic self-centered prayers they listen to our prayers that are so focused on having more Comfort than we already have where
in their desperation they have met with Jesus they have seen him with their own eyes they have been marked by the presence of God they have watched God show up in so much Splendor and they want that for us so sometimes when we can afford our own lamb it pushes out the opportunity and the margin that should be reserved for the lamb comfortable people pray anemic prayers it’s desperation it’s in sufficiency it’s lack it’s emptiness when you find yourself in that state where like Mary and Joseph you don’t
have enough to buy your own lamb anymore that might be the perfect setup for your encounter with the Lamb of God and so they are coming into the temple with the lamb he’s in their arms they walk in to the temple y’all they’re at church there’s a group of people including religious leaders Pharisees and Sadducees that have all gathered around probably hundreds of people all carrying their sacrifices that have joined in on this occasion and they’ve been waiting all of these people have been waiting on the
Messiah they’ve been waiting for the kingdom of God to be at hand they’ve been waiting on a king to ride in on a white horse and to redeem them from all that has been lost all they’ve lost as a nation they’ve been waiting for somebody to rescue them from the oppression of Rome they have been looking for a hero and the hero comes in and they do not recognize him they are at church and they do not recognize the presence of God the reason why is because he has come in a package that they do not prefer he has come in a package that
does not align with their expectations and so because he does not look like what they wanted him to look like about what they had in their own estimation prepared as the package that would be in their estimation the best package for the king to arrive because their circumstance does not look like and he has not appeared the way that they prefer they downplay the Messiah when he arrives I want to submit to you that Jesus is there in this difficult moment in your marriage in this trying moment in your finances in this struggle on
your job in this uh difficulty in this relationship you’re rubbing Corners with your boss or your spouse or this struggle you’re having on your University campus or in your high school campus this hard time that you are having he is there he just may have come in the package you don’t prefer and that often times the Fingerprints of God are not recognized not because he’s not there it is just because because the expectation we have set up about what he looks like and how he will speak and how he will move the
prayer request the solution that he will bring doesn’t align with the prayer requests that we have prayed we have boxed God into the way we want him to answer instead of believing that his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts as high as the heavens are above the Earth that’s how high his thoughts are above our own and so we box God in when we say Lord answer my request in this particular way do you know that you limit not God but you limit I limit our experience of God when we say Lord answer my request exactly
this way I have learned to pray here Lord is my request you said that I can make it known here’s how I would like to see you move in my circumstance thank you Lord that I can come boldly and make my request known so I’ve made my request but at the end of that prayer I’ve learned to pray Lord Do It or do something better because do you know there are categories of options that our brain doesn’t even know are available and accessible to us and if we limit God to what we can think and what we see as the
way we have not even considered the categories of opportunity that this Divine holy Almighty being has accessible to him y’all he’s not just thinking about you he’s thinking about your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren and those that are to come and how his kingdom purposes are going to be outworked in this generation and so on this occasion the Messiah shows up and nobody recognizes him except somebody say except except except a guy named Simeon he had been told and promised just like we have
that we he would see the Manifest presence of God he’d been told it he’d been promised just like we’ve been promised because of our relationship with God through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit indwelling us that we will see the Fingerprints of God working in our lives this is called the Manifest presence of God it is unique to omnipresence omnipresence means that God is everywhere all of at the same time I’m so grateful for God’s omnipresence because God’s omnipresence means that when I fly back to Dallas where I live
when my new friends that I just met from Uganda fly back to where they live um that when you all fly back to whereever it is you’ve come from whether all over different areas of California or afar it means that no matter where we go he is as much with me as he is with you because he is omnipresent but if you’re anything like me you’re grateful for his omnipresence but you want more than that you want the manifested presence of God I’m talking about where you can look back over your circumstances and realize that his
fingerprints were all throughout that thing I’m talking about where you can see footprints in the sand as you actually recognize that God was walking beside you the whole way I’m talking about what other people call coincidence encounters you see The Sovereign hand of God that was aligning your footsteps and setting you in the right place at the exact right time the manifest presence of God I wanted to know what made simeon’s eyes open to recognize what nobody else in this scenario did I figured whatever opened up his eyes
might open up our eyes as well are you ready three things that I want to point out to you it says in verse 26 about Simeon it says that it had been actually verse 25 I want to start there there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon he was righteous devout looking for the consolation of Israel we could spend a whole lot of time in those three but here’s where I want to hearten the Holy Spirit was upon him the Holy Spirit was upon him it says that he came into the temple verse 27 in the spirit verse 26 says it had
been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit look at the presence of the Holy Spirit permeating this text look at how the author has over and over and over again highlighted the work of the holy spirit in opening up simeon’s eyes to be able to recognize the manifested presence of God before him in the person of Jesus Christ Luke here he is just in the second chapter of this book and by the way just in these first two chapters he has already alluded to the spirit 10 times the work of God’s spirit is so powerful and so needful to a fruitful
experience in the life of the of the believer that even before the book of Acts even before Pentecost even before the spirit has come Luke points out the movement of the spirit here in the life of Simeon this shows you how important the spirit’s work is how critical it is to making sure that your spiritual senses your spiritual radar is heightened so that you can detect the presence of God the Holy Spirit was upon him now I want you to see the work of God’s spirit this is just the first uh characteristic of Simeon but I want to
just just take some time for just a few moments on it the work of God’s spirit is so important we it deserves a little bit of our attention here there are three ways that the holy spirit is described as relating to Simeon in these few verses just just a few ways that the Holy Spirit relates to Simeon in these few verses the first thing it says is that the Holy Spirit was upon him now listen I want you to know that if you have placed faith in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you Ephesians chapter 1 says that the moment
you believed you received the Holy Spirit you were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise I want you to know that at the moment you became a believer in Jesus Christ you receive the most incredible gift you will ever receive this side of Eternity and that is the very presence of God living on the inside of you the Holy Spirit is not a ghost or a wind or a fire or a dove he is often symbolized by those things but don’t minimize him that ain’t who he is the holy spirit is the third person of the Trinity not third because he is
least in value just third because he’s the last to be revealed to us in the pages of scripture but all of the Power all of the glory all of the authority all of the Grandeur of God the father is in the person of the Holy Spirit which means if you’re a Believer and the Holy Spirit lives in you that means all of the Grandeur and all of the greatness all of the authority of God himself now lives on the inside of you so if you are a Believer you have the Holy Spirit you are not waiting on more of the holy
spirit all of the Holy Spirit you ever going to get you got the moment you got saved now you do need to be filled by God spirit so that his influence in your life grows and grows so that you operate under the gifting of the spirit so that you can live according to the fruit of the spirit that means living beyond your natural capacity it means when your patience runs out you can still have more patience with that person it means when gentleness has long since left the building you still find you got a little
gentleness for that person when self-discipline I mean you just don’t know have no more self-discipline in that area we need the fruit of God’s spirit so we need to be filled by the spirit as we yield to him in obedience we are filled which means he influences us more our mind is renewed and transformed we are Sanctified into the image of Christ Jesus so the holy spirit is in you but Simeon his relationship with the spirit is not described in that way it doesn’t say that the spirit was in him it says that the Holy Spirit was on
him which means there is a difference between the spirit being in you and the spirit resting on you listen to me the gift of God’s spirit in you oh this brings tears to my eyes the gift of God’s spirit in you he will never leave you nor forsake you there is nothing nothing you can do to work yourself out of a relationship with the Holy Spirit okay but him being on you you got to live a life I I want to live a life that is a magnet for the presence of God to rest on me we can sit in this conference until tell we’re blue
in the face and applaud the truths of God and say Amen to the truth of God but if we leave this room and live in a way that is out of alignment with the truth of God we will not have the spirit resting on us if you want the mark of God’s presence on you I’m talking about where other people can see you operating in your gift moving about in the assignments that you have been given where they can just see there’s a unique favor on your life toward that particular task or that particular Endeavor where you are marked by
something that gives you favor that gives you his grace for a particular area of your life then you must live I must choose to live in a way that honors God so that God’s presence can rest upon us cuz he will not force himself on you he offers you this resting of his presence and his grace upon your life if you will choose to live in a way that does not uh disturb his presence that does not keep him from being able to be near you because you have chosen here it is to be holy listen to me are you listening y’all we live in a day and age
where we have become more interested in being impressive than being holy where we are more interested in making sure we have likes and friends and the Applause of people more than just being flat out Holy by making sure that political correctness is not our main goal that we’re not after the Applause of people we’re after the Applause of Heaven you got to choose to be ye holy and so I implore you Sisters by the mercies of God to walk in a manner worthy of the calling by which you have been called so the spirit rested upon him let me
just show you quickly verse 26 says that the spirit revealed to him so that means the spirit not only rested upon him the spirit’s revealed to him old preachers called this illumination it’s shining a spotlight it’s when you’re sitting in church on a Sunday and your pastor opens up the Bible to preach and man he just reads or she reads that first two verses that that they’re going to be preaching from and you sit straight up in your seat because you feel like it’s all about you anybody know what I’m talking about
it’s where you’re trying to figure out how did did the church bug my house how did they know that’s the illumination of the spirit it’s when he it’s when the the old truths of script scripture leap up off the page and for lack of a better way word it’s when they grip you in your soul where you see how that intersects with something you are personally facing today that is the revelation of the holy spirit this is what the Holy Spirit does he reveals he illumines he shines the spotlight Simeon was there that day
because he had been promised by the revelation of God’s spirit it wasn’t just a random promise it was his promise oh you’ve had that happen over the course of these days that we’ve been gathered you probably have had that happened where something that has been said it wasn’t just great to hear it it gripped your soul you knew it was an assignment for you it was a conviction that you knew the Lord was going to send you out of here with that assignment because the Holy Spirit revealed it to
you God’s spirit rests he reveals and then he ruled Simeon cuz it says in verse 27 that he came in the spirit to the temple meaning the spirit told him on this day to go into the temple and it says that he came into the spirit under the into the temple under under the conviction of the Holy Spirit when the spirit said go Simeon said yes sir he submitted to the leadership of the Holy Spirit and he was in the right place at the right time to run right smack dab into the Messiah because he was submitted to the leadership of the Holy
Spirit do you know that the more you ignore ignore that still small conviction the quieter that voice will become not because he is no longer speaking but because you’ve built a callous of Disobedience you have muffled the voice of the holy spirit so it is better to be so sensitive to God’s holy spirit that sometimes you give when maybe he hasn’t even prompted you to give but it’s okay because to the best of your capacity you’re obeying the holy spirit of God just to keep those Airways open and
clear from the Disobedience that will begin to muffle his voice in your life because more than anything else the enemy wants you disconnected from the privilege of hearing the voice of God y’all this is what separates our faith from every other so-called faith on the face of the Earth it’s that our God is alive it’s that he speaks it’s that we have the privilege to hear his voice never downplay or minimize the value the beauty the lavish Grace of this privilege that we have to hear the voice voice of
God so the Holy Spirit rested upon him there are two other things that I want to point out to you that were symbolic or was were significant about Simeon that opened up his eyes to see Jesus as he was to be seen in this package that other people downplayed and found insignificant that they totally ignored because they didn’t think that their king would look like that here’s what opened simeon’s eyes not only that he was in the spirit when he came into the temple and by the way here’s another
Rabbit Trail sorry if we came to church in the spirit it would change our experience in church can I just say that because while everybody else was looking at that poor couple wondering why in the world they were in their midst and discounting Mary and Joseph Simeon came in the spirit and he was less concerned about who was wearing what and who was driving up what and who sat where and who was in his seat and whether or not it was hot outside and they had to walk far to go take their children to Sunday school they were he
was less concerned about his convenience whether or not the preacher preached good was irrelevant to him he was looking for Jesus whether or not the microphones were perfectly balanced or the lights were exactly as they should be whether or not the LD screens were on full display that day whether or not the ushers were or were not kind was not his priority he had come with his eyes peeled for Jesus we would be less critical and less skeptical if we came to church in the spirit then the pressure wouldn’t be on
the person who’s on the stage cuz you didn’t come to see them you came to see Jesus okay verse 27 so he comes in the spirit and then look what happens in verse 27 the parents bring in the Child Jesus Jesus comes in in his parents’ arms look at the Savior look at how the Manifest presence of God arrives on this remarkable day watch him show up into the experience of this aged saint named Simeon in a very personal way and onto the landscape of human history he arrives in the arms of his parents there is something about the way
we see Jesus when we look at him through the well-worn paths that have been HED out by our parents our grandparents our great-grandparents our forefathers and our for mothers spiritually speaking the people who have gone before us and have walked with Jesus just a little while whove spent their lives serving him I am always nervous when I see a young group of Christians with their little skinny jeans and their lattes and their avocado toast which I love by the way I’m just always a little nervous when I see them
instagramming all their religious experiences without the oversight of some spiritual parents because y’all we have modernized Jesus today the modern version of Jesus that we have crafted he has made him watered down now he’s tolerant of sin without the expectation of Holiness our Jesus is politically correct we need to see Jesus coming in the arms of our parents the people who have gone before us the folks who have walked the road a little while who know what himels are who sang the good old hymns that were
based in some theology we got to make sure that our new praise and worship songs I love them we got to make sure they’re rooted in some good Theology and so the package may change listen y’all I I still go to the kind of church it’s come a long way but it started when I was one year old the church that I go to now so you know back in the day there was no way in the world I would have ever gotten on a stage with with with Panther are you kidding anybody know what kind of church I’m talking about we still have a few
people in our church a few mothers of the church if anybody knows what I mean jeans in the church are you kidding they came in in their suits I’m talking about where the skirt matches the jacket like they were bought together and not only that but underneath that suit she’s going to have some actual pants py hose on I’m not talking about spanks with the feet cut out uhuh I mean panty hose the ones with the girdle top anybody know what I’m talking about anybody remember that and she’s going to have a handbag
in her hand and that handbag that clutch is going to match that jacket which matches that skirt which matches her patent leather shoes that she has on her feet closed toe patent letter shoes but the outfit is never complete and you know it ain’t no regular hat right you know it’s got something it’s a feather or a net or something that’s sitting just like this and she’s going to worship God anybody know what kind of church I’m talking [Applause] about and I love when she comes up to give a
testimony about what she has seen the Lord Do It might not be modern it might not be new and improved but it’s the Jesus of a Abraham Isaac and Jacob it’s the god of our forefathers there’s some things you cannot learn on Instagram there are some things you just need to be with a mother of the church somebody who’s walked the road a little bit longer than you to make sure you can bounce off of her or him the from the true theological biblically based unchanging venerated word of God so the package may change but the
principles never do y’all Jesus was never politically correct he was always a revolutionary he never dismissed sined he called it out in in Grace but most certainly in truth he was never watered down he always said I am the only way I am the truth and I am am the life he didn’t acques or tolerate he loved but he did say repent for the kingdom of God is at hand God made us in His image and one philosopher said we have now returned the favor favor by trying to make him in ours we got to see Jesus says he’s
always meant to be seen and sometimes it requires you going to find a parent a spiritual parent who can show you the Jesus of the Bible Simeon saw Jesus because as he was meant to be seen he saw him in the package in which Our Savior wanted to come because there were some spiritual parents who were willing to bring him in so I speak to the younger people that are in this room I’m telling you check your arrogance check our lack of teachability where sometimes we just think we know it all so we won’t recognize and see the
