what God's opinion was about things, not your tradition, not your family, and not other

people's opinion. And so we spent some time on that. So how many of you haven't been here

those two weeks? Just a few, just a few. Yeah. So if you weren't here for those, it might be

good for you to get those. Well, this week, I want to talk about the next step in that,

and the next week I'm going to talk about your personal ministry.

Unless things change, talk about you doing ministry and what it is and how it is and those sort of things.

But this week I want to talk about Brother Hagen has a book, and I'm going to cover parts of it, but not altogether.

It talks about growing up spiritually, and us locating ourselves kind of where we are and what stage of life that we're in.

The title of today is, growth is not automatic.

Growth is not automatic. Now let me explain to you what I mean by that.

Now, when Keith went to Rehma, he was submerged in the word.

He was in school from 8 o'clock in the morning till 12 or 12, 30, depending on what day it was.

Then he'd leave that, and I think I told you, he'd go to prayer school from one to two,

and then he'd go, sharp shoes you got on there Pete

yeah

popped my eye there

don't show him to Dave

he'd take him off of him, wouldn't he?

Anyway, he'd go to healing school from two to four or whatever.

And sit there on the front row and listen to Brother Hagen.

And just, I mean, and then at night he'd come in, and had a little apartment in what we called Shoot Em Up Alley.

The reason we called it Shoot Em Up Alley is because one night we were getting ready to go to service on Sunday night.
