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
