00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,040 church. 4 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,120 And I love what Psalms 92:13 says. 5 00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:32,810 Those who are planted, everybody say planted in the house 6 00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:37,290 of the Lord shall flourish. 7 00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:38,210 Man. 8 00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:40,490 You're going to be bearing fruit. 9 00:00:41,050 --> 00:00:45,050 Those gifts and those talents that's inside of you, they're going 10 00:00:45,050 --> 00:00:45,970 to be released. 11 00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:50,090 The anointing is going to be released inside of you. 12 00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:55,210 And so today we are going to dive deep in the word so that we 13 00:00:55,210 --> 00:01:01,670 can understand what does it mean to be rooted and grounded and 14 00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:04,310 bearing fruit in the church. 15 00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:05,110 Amen. 16 00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:11,910 Listen, Apostle Mike Signorelli, he is raising up an army. 17 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:15,750 So I'll tell you what it's going to look like when everybody 18 00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:18,710 is rooted and grounded in the church. 19 00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:20,710 Uh oh, are you ready for this? 20 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,790 There's going to be less poopy diapers. 21 00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:27,570 Uh huh. 22 00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:30,450 There's gonna be less tantrums. 23 00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:32,770 Yes, yes. 24 00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:33,930 You know what? 25 00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:39,010 I'm gonna be the favorite of all the pastors today because I'm 26 00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:43,290 gonna be saying things that they have said or want to say and 27 00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:44,690 I'm gonna be their favorite. 28 00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:47,010 So amen to that. 29 00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:52,450 So when you are rooted and grounded, you realize that it is 30 00:01:52,450 --> 00:01:55,200 not about your you anymore. 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,440 So you're going to come into the doors, you're going to go and 32 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,800 complete passport. 33 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,600 What you're saying is, God, I want a covenant to you and my church. 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720 I want to submit to authority. 35 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,920 I want to release my gifts. 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,200 I want to go through the

want to be able to reach the lost. 40 00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:33,300 So here I am, God. 41 00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:38,420 But some people, they have a rogue spirit. 42 00:02:39,299 --> 00:02:44,100 And the rogue spirit says, I don't submit to no one. 43 00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:48,100 I don't need a church. 44 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:53,540 My church can be in my living room because I am the church. 45 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,560 And they don't want to, period. 46 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Do you know any persons like that? 47 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,240 And you try to talk to them, but they don't want to have it because 48 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,480 they think that they're right. 49 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,320 Well, I can tell you what that is. 50 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,800

00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Line up with the word. 217 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,600 So when fear, anxiety, panic attacks, try to get a hold of you. 218 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,280 God has not

path. 224 00:12:15,950 --> 00:12:17,790 Then I'll start speaking in tongues. 225 00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:23,870 I want to change the atmosphere. 226 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,080 I'm gonna change my

You're gonna have a maturity in the mental area of your mind. 230 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,400 You're gonna think before acting. 231 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,840 You're gonna learn from your mistakes. 232 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,120 Yeah. 233 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,840 I fell down. 234 00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:51,890 Mm. 235 00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:53,010 I fell down. 236 00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:54,730 Oh, the devil got me. 237 00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:55,490 But guess what? 238 00:12:55,570 --> 00:13:00,050 I'm gonna rise up and I'm gonna be stronger. 239 00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:04,370 I'm gonna learn from everything that my campus pastors 240 00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:05,570 are teaching me. 241 00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:08,130 Correcting me, disciplining me. 242 00:13:08,850 --> 00:13:09,890 I'm gonna learn. 243 00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:15,290 I'm gonna put these boundaries, these cones all around 244 00:13:15,290 --> 00:13:17,410 me, just like Pastor Eddie said. 245 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:20,260 That's my protection. 246 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:26,540 So I'm going to think before I act, and then I'm going to now make 247 00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:28,260 sound decisions. 248 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:31,780 So if I got to contact the leader, I need help. 249 00:13:32,180 --> 00:13:34,660 I need to help to make sound decision. 250 00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:38,500 Pastor Eddie, I may need your help, but I'm going to go to a leader. 251 00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:41,140 Leader's like, I got you. 252 00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:42,980 I got you. 253 00:13:43,630 --> 00:13:47,150 We're going to help you work this Problem this situation out. 254 00:13:47,470 --> 00:13:50,990 And then you're going to have a spiritual maturity about you. 255 00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:53,390 You're going to trust God. 256 00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:57,550 You're going to choose obedience no matter what. 257 00:13:57,870 --> 00:14:01,470 And then you're going to see that you're going to bear fruit. 258 00:14:01,630 --> 00:14:03,310 Fruit of the Holy Spirit. 259 00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:08,030 Now, I would love to stay there, but I got to keep this message 260 00:14:08,030 --> 00:14:08,510 moving. 261 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:16,120 You're going to have signs of maturity when you decide to covenant 262 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,360 and become a member in this house to get rooted. 263 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,160 So what are some of the signs of maturity? 264 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:30,200 You are going to now take responsibility for your actions. 265 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,800 You mean what? 266 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,380 I can't blame my mommy, I can't blame my daddy, I can't blame 267 00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:38,340 my spouse? 268 00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:41,300 No, it's me, God, here I am. 269 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:47,300 They may had a little part played into it, but God, it's me. 270 00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:52,340 I'm taking full responsibility for my choices and my decisions. 271 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,260 Doesn't that sound like maturity? 272 00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:55,780 Yes. 273 00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:59,540 And then you're going to walk in the fruit. 274 00:14:59,860 --> 00:15:03,870 You're going to listen more than you speak. 275 00:15:07,070 --> 00:15:08,990 Practice that, man. 276 00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:14,990 If I would have just listened more than my big mouth running, maybe 277 00:15:14,990 --> 00:15:17,470 I would have learned something when I was younger. 278 00:15:18,190 --> 00:15:19,710 So I'm telling on myself. 279 00:15:20,590 --> 00:15:25,390 But when you walk in a level of maturity, you're going to listen 280 00:15:25,870 --> 00:15:27,390 more than you speak. 281 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,640 You are not going to need to prove yourself to others. 282 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,040 You know why? 283 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,080 Because your character, baby, is going to speak all by itself. 284 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,200 You ain't going to have to prove to nobody. 285 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,040 They're going to see your character. 286 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,920 You're going to be quick to forgive. 287 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Do you know that when you wake up, you can say to the Holy Spirit, 288 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,280 I will not be offended. 289 00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:57,010 Period. 290 00:15:58,050 --> 00:15:58,690 Not today. 291 00:15:59,810 --> 00:16:01,890 I will not be offended. 292 00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:04,770 You can actually say that. 293 00:16:05,010 --> 00:16:06,610 And the tests are going to come. 294 00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:09,970 People are going to try their best to get you offended. 295 00:16:11,250 --> 00:16:16,650 But because you said, I choose to not be offended, you're going 296 00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:19,170 to walk that out and see the fruit of it. 297 00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:25,170 You're going to walk in a level of humility and gentleness, 298 00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:27,430 putting others first. 299 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:31,430 You're going to grow in knowledge of God's word. 300 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:37,350 You're going to then exercise your authority based on the word 301 00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:39,510 of God because that's power. 302 00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:44,630 The more words you know, the more power you release. 303 00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:45,910 Amen. 304 00:16:47,270 --> 00:16:53,000 And you're going to grow so much in God's word Word that now 305 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120 you're an evangelist to the lost. 306 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,800 You're going to handle trials now with patience and prayer. 307 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,160 Now, before, you handled trials completely different. 308 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,240 Maybe you went to the bottle, maybe you exited the church and stayed 309 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,360 away and isolated. 310 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,320 But now, because you're Learning to get rooted and grounded. 311 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,720 God is helping you. 312 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,960 You have much more patience. 313 00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,280 And now you go to prayer. 314 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,960 I'm going to pray about this. 315 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,440 I'm going to worship my way through this. 316 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,680 I'm going to praise my way through this. 317 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Come on, somebody. 318 00:17:32,439 --> 00:17:38,120 You won't be an easy prey for the false teachers, false doctrine 319 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:38,760 out there. 320 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,040 At V1, we have many teachers, but we have one spiritual father, 321 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,240 and we have to be very careful with, when we're scrolling on our 322 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:48,640 phone. 323 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,120 The person that's preaching and teaching, we don't know them. 324 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,120 We don't know who they belong to, what church they come from. 325 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,600 They could be preaching and teaching anything. 326 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,800 And because we think it sounds good, that could actually be a false 327 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,800 prophet or a false teacher. 328 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,480 So we've got to stay within the bounds of. 329 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,270 I like what Apostle Mike has done. 330 00:18:14,270 --> 00:18:18,950 He's brought many outside prophets, pastors, teachers from 331 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:19,950 other churches. 332 00:18:19,950 --> 00:18:21,310 In here, then. 333 00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:22,510 They preach here. 334 00:18:22,670 --> 00:18:24,910 They prophesy, they do their ministry. 335 00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:25,870 We know that. 336 00:18:25,870 --> 00:18:27,230 That is good seed. 337 00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:29,790 There's a protection there. 338 00:18:31,390 --> 00:18:37,070 At V1, we have no sick babies, like spiritual babies. 339 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,200 Oh, y' all ain't gonna be sick. 340 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,800 We're gonna feed

00:19:08,620 --> 00:19:12,940 Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper, even 350 00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:16,460 as your soul prospers, and that you would be in health. 351 00:19:16,940 --> 00:19:21,820 So God wants your soul, which is your mind, will and emotions, 352 00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:25,980 to prosper and your body to prosper. 353 00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:29,980 So your soul, your spirit, your body, it's all connected. 354 00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:35,510 Then you're going to walk out of Philippians 1:6 being confident 355 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:40,990 of this, that he who

00:24:35,970 --> 00:24:37,610 We're about ready to school you. 459 00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:40,410 Who? 460 00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:42,410 It's getting hot in the kitchen today. 461 00:24:43,370 --> 00:24:45,050 We finna cook today. 462 00:24:46,810 --> 00:24:51,130 But yet when we come into the church, we can't tell you nothing. 463 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,880 I had a woman on zoom. 464 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,200 It was a soul care zoom. 465 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,560 And it was two hours. 466 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,560 I devoted my time for two hours for this teaching. 467 00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,560 And the poor woman, she had a lot of things going on. 468 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,360 And so I let her speak, but I couldn't let her speak for 30 minutes, 469 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,200 20 minutes, 15. 470 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,640 It was a lot because we had a two hour Zoom. 471 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:16,720 And she got so offended. 472 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,400 That said, I'm leaving the church and I'm not giving V1 Church 473 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,350 another dime. 474 00:25:22,670 --> 00:25:23,710 Oh, I'm sorry. 475 00:25:23,710 --> 00:25:25,630 I thought you were giving it to God. 476 00:25:28,750 --> 00:25:30,230 I said, I told her. 477 00:25:30,230 --> 00:25:31,670 I said, I'm so sorry. 478 00:25:31,670 --> 00:25:33,990 I said we have a time frame. 479 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:36,270 I tried to be very gentle and kind. 480 00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:38,510 I'm sorry for what you've gone through. 481 00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:42,830 I want to help you, but if you could please understand, we only 482 00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:43,950 have so much time. 483 00:25:43,950 --> 00:25:46,830 We can't have you share your whole life story. 484 00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:49,610 Maybe just a portion within the time frame. 485 00:25:49,610 --> 00:25:51,130 Oh, no, no. 486 00:25:51,370 --> 00:25:54,690 I'm leaving the church and I'm taking my

to help her. 490 00:26:02,570 --> 00:26:08,250 But you see the attitude when you are not rooted and grounded, 491 00:26:08,730 --> 00:26:12,730 all kind of ugly, messy attitudes within the church. 492 00:26:13,130 --> 00:26:15,900 And we want to help you to what? 493 00:26:16,220 --> 00:26:18,060 Walk in maturity. 494 00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:23,660 And so get ready for when the correction comes. 495 00:27:13,391 --> 00:27:15,551 Oh yeah, correct me. 496 00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:16,351 Here I am. 497 00:27:17,231 --> 00:27:20,111 Because, man, I want to grow, Pastor Justin. 498 00:27:20,111 -->

to go higher and higher and higher. 502 00:27:28,111 --> 00:27:30,891 From faith to faith and glory to glory. 503 00:27:30,971 --> 00:27:33,131 Cause there's a calling on my life. 504 00:27:33,611 --> 00:27:37,771 I know I'm anointed to do something for God. 505 00:27:38,091 --> 00:27:41,611 There's greatness that's in my belly. 506 00:27:42,251 --> 00:27:47,691 So if that's what it takes, baby, discipline me and correct me. 507 00:27:47,851 --> 00:27:53,051 I will sit in this chair as long as it takes. 508 00:27:54,331 --> 00:27:56,171 As long as it takes. 509 00:27:57,901 --> 00:27:59,421 Because I have not arrived. 510 00:28:00,701 --> 00:28:05,981 I don't know who I'm talking to, but stop fighting the delegated 511 00:28:05,981 --> 00:28:06,701 authorities. 512 00:28:07,021 --> 00:28:08,541 Stop fighting your leaders. 513 00:28:09,181 --> 00:28:11,421 Stop fighting your campus pastors. 514 00:28:11,821 --> 00:28:15,341 Stop fighting and say, God, it's Me. 515 00:28:16,541 --> 00:28:17,261 It's me. 516 00:28:18,301 --> 00:28:21,101 I'm not trying to figure it out anymore. 517 00:28:21,261 --> 00:28:24,841 I am going to say submit to the process. 518 00:28:25,481 --> 00:28:29,481 You are the potter and I'm the clay. 519 00:28:29,801 --> 00:28:35,641 I give you permission to mold me, break me, shake me, prune me, 520 00:28:35,961 --> 00:28:44,521 cut me, cut me,

of prayer decades ago, and I meant it. 524 00:28:56,051 --> 00:28:57,331 I was a runner. 525 00:28:57,491 --> 00:29:01,691 And every time somebody said something that I didn't like, I had 526 00:29:01,691 --> 00:29:04,131 a hard time because I was broken. 527 00:29:04,371 --> 00:29:05,491 I was bruised. 528 00:29:05,731 --> 00:29:08,051 I had so much trauma and pain. 529 00:29:08,131 --> 00:29:14,531 And I had to learn to sit in this chair and go through the process. 530 00:29:15,441 --> 00:29:19,321 And there's some things that the pastors are going to say that 531 00:29:19,321 --> 00:29:20,401 you're not going to like. 532 00:29:20,881 --> 00:29:22,481 Oh, well, get over it. 533 00:29:22,481 --> 00:29:24,041 They're trying to help you. 534 00:29:24,041 --> 00:29:25,041 They love you. 535 00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:27,921 No one is against you here. 536 00:29:28,321 --> 00:29:29,601 We love you. 537 00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:34,481 We have patience and long suffering, and we want to see you 538 00:29:34,561 --> 00:29:39,441 come through to fulfill your purpose and destiny. 539 00:29:40,891 --> 00:29:41,371 Whoo. 540 00:29:41,451 --> 00:29:43,651 It's getting hot in this

00:29:49,291 --> 00:29:52,091 They normally have an orphan spirit. 545 00:29:52,971 --> 00:29:57,091 There's rejection, abandonment, an orphan that you're 546 00:29:57,091 --> 00:29:57,691 dealing with. 547 00:29:58,011 --> 00:30:04,131 There is no maturity in their emotions, so therefore, they just 548 00:30:04,131 --> 00:30:06,091 talk any away because there's no. 549 00:30:06,331 --> 00:30:09,771 They're led by their feelings, they're led by their emotions. 550 00:30:10,891 --> 00:30:14,811 And they feel rejected all the time. 551 00:30:15,131 --> 00:30:20,451 They think everyone is against them and they overreact and there's 552 00:30:20,451 --> 00:30:25,491 low self esteem and they have trauma, probably from the past, and 553 00:30:25,491 --> 00:30:30,371 they're highly sensitive, and they take things way, way, way, way, 554 00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:32,011 way too personal. 555 00:30:32,571 --> 00:30:34,011 You know anyone like that? 556 00:30:35,191 --> 00:30:40,871 But we've got to come to a place where we say, God, it is not 557 00:30:41,031 --> 00:30:42,631 about me. 558 00:30:42,791 --> 00:30:43,591 Oh, man. 559 00:30:44,071 --> 00:30:45,591 Oh, thank you,

00:43:06,922 This is an apostolic house. 788 00:43:07,722 --> 00:43:12,062 And the enemy hates an apostolic house because we're global, 789 00:43:12,222 --> 00:43:15,022 we're international, we're everywhere. 790 00:43:15,102 --> 00:43:17,662 And Apostle Mike is building churches. 791 00:43:17,742 --> 00:43:19,582 He is a builder. 792 00:43:19,902 --> 00:43:22,222 That's an apostolic pastor.

because you 799 00:43:40,312 --> 00:43:42,392 are here in this house. 800 00:43:43,192 --> 00:43:47,392 But I cancel every contract and every assignment sent from the 801 00:43:47,392 --> 00:43:52,552

home and you want that fivefold apostolic ministry in your 825 00:45:01,722 --> 00:45:03,322 life, you say, this it. 826 00:45:03,402 --> 00:45:04,602 I'm drawing a line. 827 00:45:05,402 --> 00:45:07,802 I'm drawing a line in the sand. 828 00:45:08,282 --> 00:45:12,602 And I decide today I'm going to join teams. 829 00:45:12,842 --> 00:45:14,602 I'm going to go through passport. 830 00:45:14,842 --> 00:45:17,162 I'm going to covenant, become a member. 831 00:45:17,322 --> 00:45:20,372 I want to put God first in my family finances. 832 00:45:21,012 --> 00:45:25,492 I want to serve with everything within me that I'll serve 833 00:45:25,492 --> 00:45:27,412 and have a toothbrush ministry. 834 00:45:29,492 --> 00:45:36,212 When I came here, I came here cleaning toilets, loading loadout. 835 00:45:36,612 --> 00:45:41,372 I served in V1, kids ministry, the prayer ministry, anywhere and 836 00:45:41,372 --> 00:45:42,052 everywhere. 837 00:45:42,052 --> 00:45:43,332 Put me in apostle. 838 00:45:43,892 --> 00:45:44,692 What do you need? 839 00:45:44,692 --> 00:45:45,532 What do you need? 840 00:45:45,532 --> 00:45:46,372 Here I am. 841 00:45:48,102 --> 00:45:48,702 Here I

hurt myself. 845 00:45:59,702 --> 00:46:04,182 Because, you know, bones my age, you got to take care of them. 846 00:46:08,342 --> 00:46:12,262 So did you get something out of this man? 847 00:46:12,752 --> 00:46:17,312 I couldn't sleep last night because all I kept thinking about 848 00:46:17,632 --> 00:46:23,632 was people not wanting to sit in the chair, not wanting to be discipled, 849 00:46:24,352 --> 00:46:29,232 not wanting to come under accountability, wanting to be rogue, 850 00:46:29,472 --> 00:46:32,752 wanting to just run at every little offense. 851 00:46:34,192 --> 00:46:37,232 Let's let God do what he wants to do in our life. 852 00:46:37,312 --> 00:46:37,952 Amen. 853 00:46:38,952 --> 00:46:42,432 So, Father, I thank you for every person that's here online and 854 00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:44,072 in every campus. 855 00:46:44,232 --> 00:46:47,272 I bless them in the name of Jesus. 856 00:46:47,432 --> 00:46:50,632 I cancel contracts and assignments from their life. 857 00:46:50,792 --> 00:46:57,112 I plead the blood of Jesus over every family, children, grandchildren. 858 00:46:57,672 --> 00:47:02,352 And I thank you, God, that we're going to have so many teams 859 00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:03,672 that are going to flourish. 860 00:47:03,832 --> 00:47:09,402 But volunteer serving, the generosity is going to go off the 861 00:47:09,402 --> 00:47:13,282 charts because we're going to start walking in obedience and we 862 00:47:13,282 --> 00:47:18,922 are going to Covenant and become a member at V1 Church so that 863 00:47:18,922 --> 00:47:22,642 we can bear fruit in Jesus name. 864 00:47:23,282 --> 00:47:24,242 Amen. 865 00:47:27,122 --> 00:47:28,402 Thank you, Jesus. 866 00:47:28,562 --> 00:47:29,862 Nobody but Jesus. 867 00:47:29,932 --> 00:47:30,252 Jesus.
