are you one of those Christians that’s

become a professional

Christian you do your

duty you become

content where’s the

passion where’s the longing where’s the

yearning where’s that move of God that

matters more than silver or

gold I’m a blessed man God has blessed

me mightily but I can tell you I am not

a professional I don’t care how blessed

I get I can’t trade out I’d Rather Have

Jesus I’d rather and I don’t know if you

have to choose sometimes but I do

believe your heart your heart has to be

holy committed to Jesus Christ and then

he can trust

you when’s the last time God broke you

loose

when’s the last time your your your

tears were streaming down your face I

don’t care who you are because you were

so overwhelmed at the fact that God is

so good and so precious and so mighty

that the world can’t give it and the

world can’t take it

away everybody give him a hand clap of

Praise

now

notice that this young man was from

Bethlehem

Judea and he decided to Journey or so

Journey away from that in the opposite

direction he came from Bethlehem Judea

little tiny little Country Bumpkin

little town in Israel those poor

ignorant people who worship God they

they look at them look at them they

don’t have nothing they don’t know the

big lights of Sodom and gomorah they

don’t know all the world has to offer

look at that little little dinky place

called Bethlehem Judea it’s a picture of

the church and it’s a picture of a

generation of kids that have been raised

in the

church and then they decide to so

Journey or Journey down another path

because I’m tired of I’m tired of that

life I don’t want that life and you’ve

taken it for granted is the

truth i’ I preached long enough to seen

this thing go full circle I’ve seen

people be in church raised in church

leave go out go off the University party

Live It Up always sin leaves you in

shambles always sin leaves you broken

always sin takes more than you want to

give always it ends up so so dark and

I’ve seen them come back home and I’ve

seen them and they’re even in this room

here today and they can say truly I

didn’t really appreciate where I came

from I just want to preach that

Bethlehem Judea is still a wonderful

place to be

from I’m so glad I was raised in church

I’m so glad that I came up in church I’m

so glad that I was taught little songs

from my childhood the

bi I’m so glad my mom and my daddy

raised me in church we went to church on

Sunday morning we went to church on

Sunday night we went to church on

Wednesday night we went to prayer

meeting we went to this we went choir

practice I didn’t know how to play no

musical instruments I got in the choir I

had to learn musical instruments in

church everything about my life I am

nothing but old church boy I’m from

Bethlehem Judah which means praise and

I’m telling you if if you’ve been raised

that way and you’re listening to me

preach right now you’ve been raised in

this thing you are ruined go on out go

to your University let some Godless

Professor tell you that the Bible’s a

lie and God isn’t real and how ignorant

those people are but I want to Proclaim

Bethlehem Judea is a blessing if you’ve

been raised by Christian parents you got

a granny who knows how to pray it’s not

a curse it’s a blessing I don’t believe

I believe this boy was saying I can’t

wait till I get 18 I can’t wait till I

get out of this old dumb religious mess

over here can’t do this can’t do that

I’m GNA go out I’m going to do

everything I want to

do preaching better than y’all letting

on it’s still a good

place woo I we ought shout right right

there a minute it’s still in in in in

times like

these I’m glad I got one stable thing in

my life if I can just get to the house

of God if I can bring all my mess and

all my problems and all my burdens and I

can get in The Presence of

[Applause]

Jehovah he wipes my tears away he picks

me back up he says you can do all things

through me get up and try again and you

can walk out of this place saying I am

more than a conqueror through Jesus

Christ take a praise break wherever you

are and give God some glory for
