I want to first of all congratulate you for allowing the spirit of God to use your faith,

to build such a fine edifice that people can see when they drive down the expressway.

And I mean I look to the left and I'm like well I'm not lost tonight I see that big old sign over there you know

God bless you father. Thank you so much. We give you praise tonight and we ask in the name of Jesus that you will

anoint every ear to hear and Lord what they hear tonight will make a mark in

their lives that will never be erased. We love

you Lord with all of our heart and our soul and our mind and our strength. We ask

in Jesus mighty name that you will allow revelation to begin to flood the hearts

of those who hear this word tonight and We thank you for it in advance. In Jesus,

name we pray and everybody said, Amen. Praise the Lord. If you don't mind, let's eat. go to the book of Proverbs chapter 24 and

your pastor is one of the greatest teachers of the word of God that I've had the privilege of hearing.

And I thank God for his life.

I thank God for his wife and his family and I thank God for you being here.

And it is absolutely an honor for me to be here tonight and I thank God for it.

I also want to thank God for James Robinson being here tonight.

He is such a leader in the body of Christ

and such a man of faith and a man of love and we love you so much and thank God for you, amen.

Proverbs chapter 24.

Now I want to take about 10 minutes to get your thinking in line with where I'm going.

And so I'm going to plug some things into your mindset, to set a mindset so I can say some things tonight because I believe

something happens in our lives when God is first. When God is first in our lives, there are things that heaven now can do.

As I was reading in Proverbs 24 and looking at some of these sayings of the Wise.
