Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

I am honored to be with y'all. I keep claiming that I'm a second cousin because I've loved Gateway for a long time and she said

actually you just need to own the fact that you've become a crazy auntie and And so I'll take that.

I wanna say, I'm so sorry.

And I wanna speak for, I don't have the right to speak for the hundreds of thousands probably millions

of people who are praying for y'all who love you who believe wholeheartedly in not just the restoration but the revival

God is going to bring to this house.

But I was with, we did a little steps of Paul tour in a couple of weeks ago.

It was so hot. I wasn't revived at all. I was just praying for survival. It was like 102 degrees in

emphasis when we were there so I was not encouraged at all. I thought words that

aren't in the Bible, but I was with I was with Carrie Job, a daughter of this house and her husband Cody and Levi Lusco who

also loves you and we were praying for you the night that I got the undeserved invitation to come back to Gateway.

And I thought how apropos that you are on our hearts and y you'll trust me enough,

Pastor Matthew, to allow me to come back during a season.

That's a tough season.

And I'm just so sorry.

I know the future is going to be extraordinary because I'm turning 61 in a few weeks.

And the one thing I've learned the one thing I've learned in my six

decades on this planet 55 years of which I've been walking with Jesus is that our God is a Redeemer

and nothing nothing nothing nothing is wasted in the economy of our guide.

Of course that implies that we give him everything.
