Transcript
00:00Essence, Essence, Essence, hello!
00:26My first time here.
00:28What took me so long?
00:33What took me so long?
00:35I stand and sit at the boards as one, but I'm bringing the 10,000 behind me.
00:42Because I not only know who I am, but I also know whose I am.
00:50And so anything you hear about me that feels good, sounds good, you think about, I wonder what Oprah's doing, how she's doing?
01:00I am living the dream.
01:02And I want you to live the dream.
01:07Because I'm not living the dream because I'm special.
01:11I'm living the dream because I was obedient to the call of the dream.
01:15So I want you to leave here today thinking about what is the dream for you?
01:27What is God's dream for you?
01:30What does the creator's dream hold for you?
01:33So often we spend our lives wishing and hoping and hoping and wishing and desiring things.
01:40This is what I know for sure.
01:42You don't get what you wish for.
01:44You don't even get what you hope for.
01:46You get what you believe.
01:47So what is it you believe and know to be God's dream for you?
01:56Thank you so much.
01:58Thank you so much.
