Glory to God.

Thank you, Lord.

You know, I was studying this week, and I actually had called a good brother from the church here about something else,

and we got to talking about some of the things that we're going to talk about tonight.

And, you know, you get excited about some of these things because God's doing good things all the time.

He is always on our side, and he's always trying to get us to the next level, to get us doing the things the way he designed them so that they work every time that we do them. Right? If you do it the way he designed them so that they work every time that we do them.

Right?

If you do it the way the designer told you to or created it to be done, it works every time.

Amen?

It's like I had a football coach when I was in high school and he was showing me the plays,

and he said, do you realize that every

play that we've designed is designed to score a touchdown? There's not one play that is designed

to run 10 yards. They're all designed if you do them exactly the way they are on the board

to score a touchdown. There's not a play where they say,

no, we don't want to score a touchdown. Well, everything that God does is perfect. And everything

he does is designed for our victory. Amen? He doesn't say, well, I want you to stop here for a little

bit of loss. You need some loss today.

No, he never says that.

He never take, he never said, you know, people say, well, sometimes he has to hurt you so you'll understand.

No, he doesn't have your hurt in mind.

The only hurt he has in mind is the one he takes away.

Amen? He's a good God and he's doing good things. And what we believe about him and what we believe about his word is how we receive
