Samuel Carlson,

had it right?

It was keys to steps to successful living.

In the kingdom, how many of you heard that message?

Awesome.

So I'll take a few minutes to recount some of that.

And I just wanted to use that as a launching pad for a couple of more points and a little bit deeper.

So last Sunday, I felt like the Lord gave me this word about four keys to living successfully in the kingdom.

So I want to recount those to you.

And then I want to talk to you about a couple of more things that have happened.

Let me just tell you the four keys and then I'll explain them to you.

The first one is be present.

The second one is be thankful.

The third one is have a big yes.

And the fourth one is persevere.

Persevere, don't give up.

And I told the story last Sunday, but I want to tell it again.

I woke up in the middle of the night and by the way, you know, I'd like to say it was really spiritual,

but I wake up a lot in the middle of the night almost always at three to get close to the throne.

And the truth is, I'm a prophet, so I get paid to sleep.

Because old men dream dreams. So that's me.

And so some of you have to be awake to make money, but I sleep to get it.
