Matthew 633.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God.

And what the Lord told me is that most people stop there.

So they say things like, oh yes, I see God.

That's not the rest.

And his righteousness.

You all know, in 2008, I decided to live for the Lord for real. And I went to

church, I got saved, but I have what I like to call my backup plan, my Malibu rum in the trunk,

my black and mouth, cigaros in the glove compartment just in case.

I was seeking God, but I wasn't seeking righteousness.

There's a difference.

So every time I feel like, okay, I'm in a good place.

I went to church, but every time I got disappointed, I reached for my alcohol

and I reached for my cigarillos, and I would smoke and I would drink.

And one time I kept saying, okay, the devil is doing this and then I realized I keep reaching for it

because number one, I keep buying it. And number two, I never threw it away. One time I got so fed up and I said,

anything that I won't submit to God becomes my God little G. I got so fed up one day and I said,

I'm tired of this roller coaster. I took all of the alcohol, poured it down the drain. I took every

last cigarette, threw it in the trash. And for the past 16

years, I had bought neither alcohol nor cigarillo. Sometimes it's not the devil. Sometimes it's not

deliverance. Sometimes it is our decisions to just stop doing it.

The next level was I realized the relationships that I was keeping.
