| 0:18.6 | Many of you are familiar with my testimony, but I will testify until the Lord takes me home, |
| 0:24.6 | whenever that might be. |
| 0:26.6 | In the early days of the birthing of this church, I was running haggard. |
| 0:32.1 | I was having early appointments to late appointments, and my time with the Lord got less and less and less |
| 0:41.9 | until God put me on my back for two solid weeks. And during that time, the Lord so graciously |

| 2:03.0 | And then graciously, he began to teach me how to minister to the Lord before I can minister to others. |
| 2:10.9 | Now, if you think worship only takes place in the church, if you think worship is only through music, |
| 2:17.2 | if you think worship is only through music, if you think worship is only a public |
| 2:19.8 | activities, you are missing out on the real daily powerful living. And I pray God that He will |
