Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

Some of you have heard that I was in Florida with my family over spring break.

We were at a New York Yankee spring training game, and we were actually there to watch the Baltimore Orioles

because we don't like the New York Yankees. I just bless you with that for whatever it's worth.

So we're there watching the New York Yankees and I just bless you with that for whatever it's worth. So we're there

watching the New York Yankees and it happens that George Steinbrenner's daughter, who is now the president of the Yankees, was there with us. I don't go to a ball game unless I can sit on the first three rows generally. That's my rule. I learned that from London. So if I can't, Tammy can tell you, If I can't get good seats for a concert or a ballgame,

I'm not going to sit up somewhere where people carry binoculars. You might as well stay home. I got a flat screen that's got all kind of stuff on it. I can see it real good and replays and mama and everything, you know. So we were at the game. We got tickets last minute, so we were

hands with Ms. Steinbrenner. She had a small man next to her, an extremely well-tailored suit standing

next to her, and she asked me in the vision, why did you call it Hope Chapel? And by the

spirit, I answered because we are honoring our presence encounter. Hope, H-O-P-E, honoring our

presence encounter.

And immediately at that point she reached and the gentleman pulled an envelope out of his coat pocket and handed it to her and I knew it was resources to do what the Lord's calling us to do here.

Boom, immediately the vision was over.

But I came home and sewed into our people.

It's his job to send and our job to honor what he

sends.

It would be ridiculous for us to appropriately grasp the concept of honor as it relates to one
