I want to do a little bit of review, some of the things that you've probably heard.

In fact, you may have heard all of this in different pieces.

But in Romans 3.23 it says,

all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

How many of you understand that we used to be sinners,

but when we received Jesus, we became saints.

And that's a huge transition.

I remember going in Bill's office, I think it was about nine or ten years ago,

and I was going through this process, what I just told you about,

but began with a dream.

And I've shared this dream so many times, but it began with a dream.

And in the middle, I woke up feeling like somebody died in this,

but I couldn't remember the dream.

But this verse was going through my mind.

Just one part of Proverbs, I think it's Proverbs 30,

it says, the world cannot hold up under a pauper when he becomes a king.

And so I had this experience where the Lord said to me,

you're a pauper, a slave, who's become a king.

And it's time for you to change the way you think.

And I remember, we adopted a young man when he was 15 years old out of a drug home.

And he's still our son, actually, he's a great young man.
