14:33through it. Do you hear me? So, when you look to your neighbor, look at them and say, I know you've been
14:38through something but you're still beautiful. You're still beautiful and can't nobody tell you

16:54Bryant. I know you all at Essence, but we're still in church today. Can you stand to your feet real
17:11quick? Come on. Everybody is standing. Everybody is standing. No matter where you are, no matter what
17:17it is that you've been through, what you've endured. Can you do me a favor? Would you lift up that hand
17:22right where you are? I know y'all came out of the hotel, you came out of the club, came out of the
17:29concert, but you owe God some worship. Can you just take 30 seconds and open up your mouth and just begin
17:35to bless him? Come on. Come on. You owe him more than that. Come on. I dare you. You owe him more than that.
17:47Come on. Lift up your voice. Where are you? Come on. Where are the worshipers?
17:56Hallelujah. Real quick. Would you embrace somebody around you? Tell them something good is going to happen to
18:01you. Something good is going to happen to you. Something good is going to happen to you. If you're happy and
18:12you know it, clap your hands. If you know God been better to you than you've been to yourself, clap your
18:18hands. If you know sooner or later it's going to work in your favor, that late in the midnight hour,
18:27God is going to turn it around. Come on. Let's practice like we in church. It's Sunday morning.
18:33Open up your mouth and give God a shout of thanksgiving right there.
18:41I'm thankful for the privilege to be able to share the gospel. Would you open your Bible apps for me
18:47and go to Genesis chapter six, Genesis chapter six. Thank you. Essence with all that you have planned
18:55and programmed that you did not fail to schedule the word of God. The flower may fade, the grass may
19:02wither, but it's the word of God that will endure forever. Genesis chapter six, verse 19 and 20.
19:10You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with
19:18you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal, and of every kind of creature that moves
19:24along the ground. Will come to you to be kept alive. Will come to you to be kept alive. You're to keep
19:30every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them. You may be seated.
19:40You're to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive. Two of
19:46every kind of bird, of every kind of animal, and of every kind of creature that moves on the ground.
19:52They have to come to you if they want to be kept alive. I want to preach for a little while
19:58today using as a subject, I am not going to chase you. I am not going to chase you. Would you look at
20:07the person beside you and tell them, I don't know what you heard about me, but I am not going to chase
20:14you. If you know I'm preaching about you, would you clap your hands right now?
20:23Out of the folklore tradition of the Netherlands, the story is told about a couple that lived in a
20:31cottage in the woods. And they looked outside one day and saw three old men sitting outside of their
20:38house. After some time elapsed, they decided to extend some congeniality. The wife went outside to
20:48those three men and invited them to come into the home and have a meal. When she met them, one of them
20:56said, you have to only invite one of us in. You can't invite all three. He said, my name is success.
21:07If you invite me into your house, success will always be in your house. He said, my friend who is next to
21:16me is named, uh, is named money. And if you invite money into the house, money will always be inside of
21:27your house. He says, uh, but we've only got one last and his name is love. And if you invite
21:36love into the house, then love will always be there. Though three men said to the woman, go back into the
21:46house and ask your husband, which one of us do you want to come in? She went and had an ongoing
21:54discussion with her husband. And they finally came to the conclusion and she came back outside and said,
22:02we have decided to let love come in the house. Love started following her into the house. But when she
22:11looked back, she saw money and success following love. She turned around and was confused and said,
22:20I thought you said only one could come in. And they said to her, when you invite love into the house,
22:28money and success will come right behind it. Too many of us are going after the wrong thing and you still
22:40don't understand why your house is not a home. If you are not careful, your proverbial ankles will swell
22:50up. Bunions will develop on your brain because you have exerted so much energy chasing the wrong thing and
23:01chasing the wrong people. Can you imagine and have you ever taken a moment to consider the emotional fatigue the
23:10creator must be experiencing in Genesis six? Knowing that humanity is just three chapters old. It's three
23:19chapters old and it's already getting on God's nerves. He decided to give them a lifelong deadline of 120
23:29years, but it still doesn't stop them from acting up. The angelic are having copulation with mere mortals
23:38and together they are breeding a despicable generation. And the Lord said, what a whole lot of you have been
23:47thinking. The Lord said, I'm sick of people. Not only am I sick of people, I'm tired of people.
23:57You have no interest at this tick of the watch to be engaged in small talk. You don't have the energy
24:06to decipher whether people are telling you the truth or not. You don't have any energy to try to figure out how many
24:16knives am I going to pull out of my back. I don't feel like hearing you complain when I know you are not serious about
24:25change. I do not have the temperament to deal with your rudeness. My patience is depleted from your
24:37selfishness. I got whiplash always having to look behind my shoulder. I need a therapist because of all of the
24:47trauma that you have inflicted and now you pretend like you are the victim. Some of you came to New Orleans
24:55because you wanted to get away from some certain people. Some people that you didn't feel like being
25:02bothered with. So God calls a man by the name of Noah and Noah name means rest and it means motion.
25:13In there what everybody needs in their life. Somebody in whom you can rest around. I want to be at peace
25:22knowing you are where you say you are. I want to be at peace knowing that my heart is safe.
25:31That my mind is at ease. That my spirit can finally relax. I don't want to have to be going over trying to
25:38wake up in the middle of the night connecting the dots knowing what you said had absolutely no truth.
25:45I want to know that I can have some rest but not only that I need the people in my life who I can make
25:54moves with. It's a terrible thing when God blesses you and you don't know who it is that you can call
26:01because everybody is not genuinely happy about where it is that you get ready to go.
26:07Some of y'all ain't gonna keep it 100. There's some folk who mad you were in New Orleans right now
26:13and they are at home and they trying to figure out how did you make it happen. Who did you sleep with?
26:19Who did you brown nose with? Who did you politic with? And they got no idea. Favor ain't fair. I didn't do
26:27nothing but be faithful over a few things and God made me ruler over many.
26:36God says for those of you that can handle it get ready that this summer you are getting ready to
26:41make some real moves. You are not gonna be stuck. You are not gonna be stagnant and you are not gonna
26:48be held hostage to who you used to be. Look at the person beside you and tell them within the next year
26:56come on look at them tell them within the next year
26:59everything connected to me is about to make a move. My finances are getting ready to move.
27:08My address is getting ready to move. My job description is getting ready to move. Look at your neighbor and
27:16say as a matter of fact take a good look at me. This is the brokest I'm ever gonna be in my life
27:25within the next year. God is gonna change everything.
27:34So God forces Noah. God forces Noah to do what none of us enjoy doing. He forces Noah, hear this, to start over.
27:47J.P. Morgan says that the first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you are not going to stay where you are.
27:58In the universe of video games there are only two options game over or start over.
28:05And God told me to tell you if you can hear my voice you are getting ready to start over.
28:10Do you know how many things in your life tried to kill you and how many things in your life tried to break you?
28:18How many people betted against you but you able to say I may be black, I may be ugly, but I'm still here.
28:27After everything I've been through, my own family didn't believe in me.
28:32But look at me, I'm a testimony. I didn't make it on my own. Somebody prayed for me.
28:41The Lord sent. I'm coming. Give me just a minute. The Lord sent a PDF of the blueprint for the building
28:56that of the ark that Noah was commissioned to handle. He posted it on LinkedIn.
29:02He posted it on LinkedIn and couldn't get a single response. He put it on Indeed and didn't gather not one inquiry.
29:17Nobody wanted to help him. I'm not even talking to you. I'm talking to the person behind you
29:24who understands it's unnerving to have an assignment and to have oil, but to have no assistance.
29:32There's some people in this room who have had to do some heavy lifting all by themselves.
29:40And folk have no idea that sometimes you had to be your own life coach.
29:45You had to sit in the car and had to stop yourself from crying. You had to tell yourself,
29:51I am not going to break down in front of my kids. You had to keep it together so you didn't kick over desk in the office.
29:59You had to remind yourself there's a part of you that's saved, that speaks in tongues,
30:04but it's another part of you that will cuss Negroes out. You trying to do everything you can to keep it together.
30:15Folk don't understand everything that you are juggling up against. Trying to pay student loans.
30:21Parents are trying to take care of aging parents. Having to check adult children.
30:29Trying to make sure that everybody has what they need, but nobody ever checks on you.
30:35Folk don't know that there's some nights you just sitting up in the bed looking at the ceiling.
30:40There's some days you drive past your own house. There are moments that you watch the phone ring
30:46because you know that everybody's calling you or just trying to get something, but nobody ever checks on you.
30:54But I need some people that made up in your mind that no weapon that is formed against me shall be able to prosper.
31:04I need somebody that knows if God be for me, who in the world can be against me?
31:13He's got no help and he's still building.
31:19And I want you to know, don't get discouraged.
31:22Because in spite of your absence of assistance, you're still going to get it done.
31:28Everybody, this is a life lesson. I need you to write this. I need you to tweet it.
31:34Everybody is not a builder.
31:40Everybody is not a builder, but based off of what you are creating,
31:45I am telling you, you are getting ready to float into your destiny.
31:49There are some of you who can only shout over what you have.
31:54But there are others of us who are giving God glory for what we're dreaming about.
31:59I know some of y'all don't have dreams and all you want is red bottoms in a Louis bag and a Gucci belt.
32:06But there are others of you who are thinking about generational wealth
32:09and thinking about creating a legacy for those that are coming behind you.
32:15Do me a favor just to throw off all of your enemies, not for your car, not for your clothes, not for your job.
32:21Would you do me a favor? Would you give God glory for your idea?
32:26Would you shout? Come on, I can't hear nobody.
32:29I said, would you shout for what your dream is?
32:32Would you give God glory for what you're believing is going to take place?
32:37You can't spend all of your days treading water, trying to make ends meet, arguing with people who are inconsequential.
32:51Please do not take constructive criticism from people that never built.
32:55Because if they haven't built anything, it's not constructive criticism, it is a demolition proof.
33:04That there is too much that God has assigned for your life.
33:09And I am believing that what you are building, that when it takes off, your family will never be the same.
33:16I am so excited that you are the one God chose to change your family history.
33:23Your last name is going to be redefined because of what it is that you are building.
33:29Nobody who is related to you will even understand how you came up with that concept and why you operate at that level of genius.
33:39You don't even have nothing in common with the people you were raised with.
33:43But God transferred you into that family to show your family what real favor is supposed to look like.
33:52I know some of y'all don't believe it, but would you do me a favor real quick?
33:56Would you just shout your last name out loud?
33:59Shout your last name.
34:02Now you don't even know what's getting ready to happen.
34:05Every person that got your last name is getting ready to be blessed before this year is over.
34:12Can you stop right here and give God glory for your whole bloodline?
34:19I need you to give God glory for your cousins, for your niece, for your nephew, for your brother, for your sister, for your mother, for your dad.
34:31Everybody related to you is about to be blessed.
34:39I'm building something.
34:40I'm building something.
34:42I'm building something.
34:45I feel that in my blood.
34:46I'm building something.
34:48Some of y'all ain't dreaming about it.
34:50I just need 50 of you to say it out loud.
34:52I'm building something.
34:54Come on.
34:55I don't know where you are.
34:56I dare you to say it with authority.
34:58I'm building something.
35:00This is just for those of you who already know the name of your business.
35:03You already see yourself living in another place.
35:07But you already see something great for your children.
35:10Would you shout out loud?
35:11I'm building something.
35:13Hallelujah.
35:14When God gives you an idea, God never explains the budget.
35:19He told Noah to build the ark, but never told him how he was going to pay for the wood.
35:30You got to understand that what it is that God has called you to do, the finance is his responsibility.
35:37When God gives you a dream, watch this, he doesn't check your finances first.
35:43He checks your faith first.
35:46And when he sees your faith, God will come up with the finances.
35:51There are some people who are looking at you crazy, but they don't understand.
35:55God will never give you a dream that matches your budget.
36:00Y'all didn't say anything to me?
36:02If you can afford to do it, it ain't from God.
36:06God will give you something that don't match your credit score.
36:10He'll give you something that don't match what you got in the bank.
36:15But I serve Jehovah Jireh that you will supply all.
36:23Hallelujah.
36:25Hallelujah.
36:26Be seated, please.
36:28I feel glory coming in six minutes.
36:31Hallelujah.
36:31Would you be seated?
36:32I need you to prophesy to your neighbor.
36:35Would you take that neighbor by the hand real quick and tell him,
36:38I got to tell you what I heard God say.
36:41Come on, look at me and tell him, I got to tell you what I heard God say.
36:45It's already paid for.
36:47Come on, I need somebody else to understand that.
36:51It's already paid for.
36:54It's pressed down.
36:56It's shaking together.
36:58It's running over.
36:59It's already.
37:01It's already.
37:05Hallelujah.
37:07I'm coming.
37:07I promise you I'm going to let you work.
37:09Hallelujah.
37:10See, some of y'all think I'm talking about a 10,000 square foot house.
37:14But I want to see if y'all got crazy faith in New Orleans.
37:18God said, I need you to give me a praise.
37:20Here's your shout.
37:21Like every July bill is already paid for.
37:26Come on.
37:27Hey.
37:28Your car note, your car note, your insurance, your mortgage, your apartment, your tuition, your student loans, it's already paid for.
37:41Now, you may be seated.
37:48Hallelujah.
37:50You may be seated.
37:53Noah builds the ark.
37:54But Noah, like many of us, didn't read that last line.
38:01And the last line that all the saints lie about.
38:06I'm telling you, whether you're Epistolic or Kojic or Baptist or AME, all the saints lie about this last line.
38:14Did you read the terms and conditions?
38:16You ought to repent right now.
38:22You know you didn't read it.
38:26Noah, watch this, builds the ark.
38:30And after Noah builds the ark, here comes the terms and conditions.
38:36You got to get animals.
38:39Building the ark should have been the assignment enough.
38:42But God says to him, I need you to get animals, two of every kind.
38:48And I need you to know what happens.
38:51Because the Lord doesn't give him any bear traps.
38:58Y'all didn't hear nothing that I said.
39:01He didn't give him any nets.
39:04He didn't give him any tranquilizer guns.
39:07What God was saying to Noah was the word that I needed you to have today.
39:14Is Noah, because you have an assignment and because you have oil, you ain't got to chase nothing.
39:23Y'all ain't saying nothing to me.
39:25Says every time that hammer hits a nail,
39:30an alert is going to go out in the jungle.
39:33That the animals you need are going to start coming to you.
39:38I got the wrong church.
39:39Y'all ain't been to church since Easter.
39:41God says when y'all make a sound in this convention center,
39:46whatever it is you need to build is going to start coming in your direction.
39:53If y'all don't need nothing, don't say nothing.
39:56But if you need God to get you the resources for you to build your assignment,
40:04open up your mouth and give God a shout like he's coming.
40:13Hallelujah.
40:14You may be seated.
40:17Hallelujah.
40:19Thank you, Gloria.
40:21Hallelujah.
40:23I only got two words that I need to tell you.
40:25I wish I had a better sermon, but I only got two words I need to tell you.
40:29I need everybody in this room to reverberate these two words.
40:34Everybody who's watching online, type it in the thread.
40:37What are the two words, Pastor?
40:38Here are the two words.
40:40It's coming.
40:42God, I can't hear nobody.
40:44I better say it again.
40:46It's coming.
40:48Today, I'm waiting for y'all who are up in the loaves to declare it out loud.
40:53It's coming.
40:55Everything I prayed for, everything my mama never got, everything they tried to block me from getting,
41:04it's, it's, it's, it's, it's coming.
41:09Hallelujah.
41:09It's, uh, hallelujah.
41:11It's coming.
41:13Hallelujah.
41:13Would you just tap the person in front of you and tell them it's coming?
41:17Hallelujah.
41:18And, and, and you ain't got to wait a year to get it.
41:21You, you ain't got to wait six months to get it.
41:24I'm waiting on the radical praises.
41:25I want to prophesy over the screamers in this room that before you get back home, everything you've been waiting on God to do is going to be waiting for you right there.
41:40Don't wait till the battle is over.
41:44You ought to shout right now like it's coming.
41:50All right.
41:52He builds the ark.
41:54I'm going, my time is up.
41:57He built the ark, but how does he know it's coming?
42:03Hallelujah.
42:04God don't speak through no Charlton Heston voice.
42:09How does he know it's coming?
42:11Y'all ain't saying nothing to me.
42:12There is no weather channel.
42:15How does he know it's coming?
42:17He knows it's coming when it starts to rain.
42:21Y'all, I got to fly back to Atlanta.
42:23But God told me to tell you whenever a storm hits your life, start getting excited because God is getting ready to work it out in your behalf.
42:36Look at your neighbor and tell them it's raining in America.
42:39The Supreme Court tried to block your student loans, but it's still coming.
42:46Harvard and Yale don't want your children in the classroom, but it's still coming.
42:55White supremacists are hoping that Trump gets elected when he's really going to jail, but it's still coming.
43:05Your supervisor can't stand you, but it's still coming.
43:10Grab your neighbor by the hand and say, neighbor, at the Essence Festival, it's nothing but a bunch of Negroes.
43:22Shake that neighbor by the hand and say, neighbor, at the Essence Festival, it's all kind of black people.
43:31GEDs and PhDs, but we got some other brothers and sisters who are not at the Essence Festival.
43:42They are not from Detroit.
43:44They're not from D.C.
43:46They're not from Philadelphia, and they're not even black.
43:51They're Native Americans, and do you know what the Native Americans do when they need it to rain?
43:59They just start to dance.
44:02I need you to look at your neighbor and say, I need the rain to come.
44:09Come on, I know y'all are in the strip club, but I want to say it to God.
44:14Make it rain, let the power of the Holy Ghost fall fresh on me.
44:24Would you give God glory?
44:27Would you give him praise?
44:29Will you give him honor?
44:32How did you feel when you came out the wilderness?
44:37I came to lift him up.
44:40Point at your neighbor and say, neighbor, I'm not chasing nobody, but if anybody asks you, what's the matter with me?
44:52Tell them I'm saved.
44:55I'm sanctified.
44:57I'm running.
44:59I dare you to run.
45:01Run and not get weary.
45:04Walk and not fade.
45:08Didn't it rain?
45:10Didn't it rain?
45:27Keep it right there.
45:29Keep it right there.
45:30It's coming.
45:35It's coming.
46:00It's coming.
46:08It's coming to the finals, right?
46:09Let me move.
46:14Let me move.
