Turn with me, please, in the scriptures, verses we looked at last night, and we'll go over a little bit for those that weren't with us.

First Samuel, second chapter, and Mark the fourth chapter.

The Lord has given me some really good things.

I just am so excited about them.

Hope you can be with us all week because you can't do everything in one night.

You need to lay a foundation.

I heard an older minister talking about this one time as excellent scripture.

Out of Ecclesiastes, he said, it says, wherever the tree falls, that's where it lays.

That's deep.

Where the tree falls, that's where it lays and yet man the spirit of god through him he went on to say he said i can't lay the big tree right now i got to clear out the

underbrush.

Any lumberjacks, any people that deal with timber, you know, I've seen folks that just went out in their yard and said they'd cut a big tree.

And then next week they had to get a new roof.

Because as they were cutting and they went, no, no not that way go that and the tree went the wrong way or especially a lot of times out in the woods you cut a tree it'll fall into

another tree little stuff and then you got your situation there. So you got to clear out the

underbrush and clear out anything it would be in the way of the big tree. And then you got a

felf a tree the way you want it to go. And then when it falls, it'll fall in the right place.

And where it falls, it'll fall in the right place and where it falls it lays.

And in ministry it's that way.

Sometimes you ever heard Brother Hagan talk about side journeys.

And he'll say these side journeys help as much as the main thing.

Well, a lot of times it's what's happening is these things have to be cleared out
