We are here to capitalize and we are on our deadline. We work in our own private lives. We come to get as much out of this state as we can serve it. We feel like we are participating to be leaders. But we must ask the humility of being a servant. And there is power in essence of being a servant. A servant of God. A servant of God. Not here to serve myself. Not here to serve God Almighty first of all. And to serve the Jesus name. And we just want to do just that. Not for all we do.

But just to pave the way. And touch the atmosphere. And look into the squares. We always talk about what is a servant. And that a servant is derived from a verb meaning to serve it. To serve. A servant. S-E-R-V-A-N-T. To serve. Which to work. To serve is to work. Work to God. We know that this is our mission. And to serve is to serve. Not to serve God's name. But to serve. Because a servant is written and signed for those who prefer serving. So a servant has a mission of the Lord. We are on a mission.

If we believe that Jesus Christ is in Spain. We are on a mission. You're a believer. A mission. Yes. If you're just because you don't have a title. Does not mean that you're not on a mission. And that's what we get mixed for. We've been heeded to wanting a mission. So ambitious to want a title. Because Jesus called his disciples by name. He dropped his title. It was false. Oh, it was. It wasn't a lie. He didn't. When God said false, false. He knew that he was changing his name to false. So he could have went on and called him Apostle Saul.

Apostle Saul. But he said, Paul, Saul, Saul. Why do you keep against the priest? I'm not even trying to hear because that's not even where I'm going. But just using Paul as a witness. But listen. Paul. When Jesus, when God began to address their noses. Noses. Take off your shoes for the ground that you're standing on and holding on. He would address them. He didn't say King Pharaoh. Pharaoh. Let my people go. Pharaoh. Paul would always address them. When he's trying to get your attention, really trying to get your attention. And get you to humble down and do what you say to.

Tina. Take off your shoes. Take off your shoes. Take off your, take off your dress. Take off your shoes. Period. Mary. Sharon. Celia. Tina. Latisha. Benny. Period. I will call you by your name. Maggie. I'm going to call you Lucille. That's what God's trying to get your attention. Paul. I'm going to give you my next name. Look at what he does. Look at what he does. He calls. Linda. Linda. You're going to see a full hospital. Prosthesis. He's going to do it. Glory to God. You know why? Because he already knows we're going to go there.

He already knows. That the heart of me. If you look at me on the body of Christ. I'm going to call him up. And I'm going to let you know this. I'm going to go there for a few minutes. Yes. You know, I do not validate you. Because you're a servant. It's the spirit. It's the harmless of your spirit and your heart. Glory to God. The Hebrew word translates servant as slave. Servant as slave. Someone who works for me is under the authority of another. You know? This is why some of the world is better.

Because you think that I'm a slave. You're not. That means you're going to have to submit. So maybe that's why there's so many who want to serve. Because they've got the wrong attitude towards me. They've got the wrong context of what service or healing is. And they know that serving God is to be a slave. You're going to have to submit to some authority. So don't you understand? The one. The one that dies for you. The one that went over the cross for us. He submitted. He became a slave to the Father. That means he served the Father.

He became under authority of the Father. He submitted to the will of the Father. Not his own will. But the will of the Father. Hallelujah. And that, I believe, is why so many miss the context. The concept of what serving is about. Because many do not want to submit to authority. Jesus said, Father, if thou be willing to remove this cup from me, nevertheless not my will but thy will be done. Father, remove this cup, Luke 22 verse 42. Remove this cup. Jesus is our will. But he knows that in order to serve God, I have to be willing to submit to the will of the Father.

I have to do what my Father has called me to do. That's what I want to do. See, that's serving. But God, we have to serve one another. That is in Ephesians 5 and 21. And that was in our lesson on Facebook Live or something. Submitting one to another. Because Lord, Ephesians 5 and 21. That was our lesson a few weeks ago. Me and Michael were on Live together. Doing marriage. And so, a lot of people said they're ready to get married. This is not even, this is just dropping down a little. It's not in my notes, but I just want to say it.

So I turned to the scripture. Just more refreshment. But listen. The key in marriage is submission. And that is serving one another. I'm always thinking that Michael is always just serving me. Okay. He goes to the table. I put his food on the table. I pour his coffee. I even go get his phone for him. It's everything on the table for him. Okay. If I serve him, he serves me back. If I can get out of bed and he'll come. I bring him some hot tea. He'll wake up. He'll say, hey, anything you need? That's if I just get in the kitchen.

You know I'm exhausted. I'm tired. I'm just laying in bed. I've got my worship music playing. I'm just trying to soak up and revive and restore and heal that gut. Because I'm going to pour it out some night. Okay. I need a refilling. He'll come to the bed and bring me some ginger tea. Coffee I'm not eating. What you need? What's up? Coffee I'm not eating. But he can bring me a rice cake or a cookie or whatever. A cracker. A rice cake or something. Something that, you know, just a drink to have with my tea.

Just go get that. Let's serve one another. So marriage, if you're not ready to serve one another, then serve. That's one of these things in the marriage. It's serving. It's serving. So we know the answer to what? Serving you. We said that we were going to. Because I'm going to tell you so much that it's time for my thought to end. That I want to get to. I want to get to these things. I really want to get to what we're talking about. But let me just read this. Matthew 20 and 20 says this. It's a lot.

Okay, so we're going to. Okay, I'll tell you what. Let's just call it a day. We're going to go back and forth, okay? I want you to follow these people anywhere. We're up here to learn. We're up here to get what we want to have to say. Because somewhere we are missing it. And we're missing this. I want to get to this other part. Because I'm so excited about this part. Because this is where we left off from when we got off the phone. So let's go to that and then just stay there. I'm looking at my phone.

Normally I stay here for only a few minutes. Because I really want to get to this part. Because from this continuation into the other part. Just from here. Take me. I thought I was going to go to the other part first. But God is taking me here first. Because he wants to use Mary. Then we're going to go back to the book. But if you are in Luke 10. Did I say Luke 10? Yes. Luke 10. Let's start at 2-3-2-4-5. Let's just start at this. Okay. So, let's talk a little bit before we call up the phone.

Because the time is gone. And if I keep on going. I'm going to get to the lesson. I'm going to get to the lesson for our next leadership. Now, it happens as we live it. I'm going to read it out of Ephesians 6. It's in the New King James Version. Now, it happens as we live it. That he enters a certain judgment. And a certain woman named Martha welcomes him into the house. Wow. And she has a sucker called Mary. Who also said that Jesus keeps and serves his word. Glory to God. But Martha was distracted with much serving.

So, when you look at this, mark that in your Bible. Martha was distracted with much serving. And she approached him and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So, Martha was missing because she said, my sister is not serving. Hmm. My sister is not serving. No. Well, you don't care. Come here, Martha's apostle. Now, apostles are not serving you. Because as an apostle, you can't see the feet. But the kingdom is all the way over there. All the way over there. You call on one of them over there.

You call on the girl over there. She's doing this. She's doing that. She's over there. She's doing that. And we're on the street. And the kingdom is all the way over there. I got to go down to the planet. Hmm. They call me down in Wilson. Well, I got to go over here. I got to go to somebody's going to be on this line. Somebody's going to be on this front line. Somebody's going to be on that front line. And the kingdom is all the way over there. And the apostles are not serving. Jesus. And the kingdom is all the way over there.

Martha. Yes. Are you ready today? Jesus, don't you see what I'm doing? Call from my mom. What's that son of a bitch saying? Come on. I'm alone. I'm the only one, Jesus. You're serving. But you're not looking at the kingdom and saying. No, you're not. No, you're not. Just because you're calling over everywhere. Don't mean you're the only one serving. Oh, you are. You're serving. But you're not. What's that you're getting good for? You're talking to your own mother. You speak the truth. I've never seen that side of you. You've seen us. You're bad for us.

You don't know if conscience is in a secret closet. Conscience is at my feet. We're not in a secret closet. Conscience is serving me. So what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You think that's the only time you're serving? When you're doing a forfeit? You think that's the only time you're serving? When somebody call you a friend of mine and do a forfeit? That's the only time you see me as? That's what you see? You don't see your sister as it is at my feet? Let's take a look at that. Won't you? Won't you?

Won't you see her? Won't you see her? Maybe it's time for you to see her. She's a good woman. Won't you? Won't you see her? Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It is real. Okay. So, this is it here. But Martha was distracted with one servant. And she approached him and said, Lord, will you not hear that my sister has left me to serve alone? Be alone? Serve with me? There's no care left to have me. So? Here's what he did, Martha. He said, Oh, so the tailor's called the tailor's lawyer. Lawyer. Tailors. Conscious. It comes from your feet.

See, that's why I'm right here. And you don't say, Martha was in humility. But most you won't. So, you can serve and run all over you want, minister. That don't mean you're humble. That doesn't mean you're arrogant. You mean, you think that you've got such an anointing in a bag. Here's a bag of Doritos. With a honeydew on the side. Oh, no, I forgot to say a thing. Can you see her? See? So, so, so, so. So, here is Latina doing everything. Now, Latina, my sister's positive. Get her from your feet. Because she's not serving.

I'm not serving alone. And Papa, the lawyer's looking at Latina like, Girl, die. Die. What are you talking about? Are you serious? No. Latina is in fire. Lawyer, tell Mary to get up from serving you at your feet. And come over here and sit by our door. Because this was Mary that was a humble one. Because she was dead. Can you see? A servant. It's the 44th birthday. And Jesus answered his prayer. Master Martha. Marry me. The future is a feast. Jesus. Marry me. Marry me. Marry me. Let the angels be your God. Oh, Jesus.

He calls us daddy. He calls us daddy. And not just calls us one time, He calls us two times. He has a very strong statement. Latina. Latina. Call us by name. Call me by my name. Call me by my name. Call me by my name. Call me by my name. Call us by our name. Latina. Latina. You're stressed. You're worried. You're troubled. About many things. But one thing is needed. And Mary has chosen. Chosen. That good part of my son. That good part. Which will not be taken from her. Now listen here. You're hollow a little bit.

Alice. Y'all. You know what? Now. I'm gonna have to leave my phone on this one. Cause y'all don't like no. I don't like no distractions. Hold on. Let me pick up. Your mind. Y'all about to pull me out of wrong spirit here now. Why don't y'all stay here? I'm ready to go. Hold on. Y'all I just had a light distraction. That was unnecessary. Ok. And I deal with it when I get off the phone. But I do apologize. And you know what? I'm on the phone. It's not an emergency. Don't come in here tapping me and distracting me.

Unless it is an emergency. I don't want y'all to think it's an emergency because it's not. When it is an emergency, y'all can come right in the room and y'all can distract me. You're welcome to follow. On the phone, I have to answer the call. But this is when you're not sensitive to the Spirit of God. I'm teaching my family. We have to be sensitive to the Spirit of God. Because see, I tell them. And this is even for a leadership. Because see, when we are teaching, praying, worshipping, we are in prison of the Lord.

And any distraction is the enemy coming to our school. So that means that when you are praying, when you are worshipping, praying, spreading the word, and even someone calls you, don't answer the phone. You're supposed to stay your course. And you're supposed to stay strong on God and not allow it to distract you. And the person and the people that distract you are not sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord. Remember, when you're praying, you're in a communication with God. And when you really come and distract or interrupt someone who is talking to the Father.

So tell my family, be more sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord. To the Spirit of the Lord. Listen, get back to our lesson and have to apologize. Everybody's still here. Prayer. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. So, so, so, we see here that that good part will not be taken away from her. That's what I want. That's where I want to stay right here for a minute. So, Mary, as you see, God was a written marker that was just never going to be taken from her. That part of serving God will never, ever, be taken away from you.

So don't you get it twisted. Now, remember what that's got to say to me? That's serving Him. The miracle of the Lord. In the natural, palatable fire. Jesus was letting her know, Lord, I'm never going to be taken from you. And that's going to diminish one day. That's going to fade away one day. But this good part of getting that in my heart will never, ever, be taken from you. That part of serving God. Serving Him with your whole heart, whole mind, spirit, everything, your soul. He will never, ever, be taken away from you. But Mary, Martha, Martha, that part you don't even know is not even a good part.

Mary always said, delicious. I said, good, good, good, good service, teaching or whatever. She just used it. That was delicious. Good. Delicious. Good. She always. Oh, girl, that was delicious. She'd be at church. I would tell her, Patricia, that was delicious. That was delicious. Because that was a meal. Whatever to God. She said, that was delicious. Good. Well, after Mary's service, she can say, mmm, that was delicious. Because she was getting a good part. And that was that. Oh, Jesus. Oh, man. Oh, Martha. Will you understand that all of that running all over everywhere, that will diminish.

That's going to decrease. And it will. It will. It's old. You get some people running all over the river, hunting out the wild. You get old. Somebody new come on the block. Let's swap units. Look. Another minister come out, fresh meat, they say. Cook, cook, cook in the neighborhood. And they just rising up to be an invasion. And you been in this neighborhood running all over the world. Running all over the world for 20 years. Running, running, running, running. Running for some of my friends. Crap. That is a diminish. That is a drop. Drop. But you better make sure.

I'm about to do that. You better minister. You better minister in training. You better be a leader up here. You better be a pastor up here. You better be a builder. You better be a prophet. You better be a prophetess. You better believe. You better get that good part from Jesus. You better stay in it. You better get in that secret box. You don't understand. Let's go.
