I get it I raised you, but now you resent me you think I'm the worst human being on earth. I get it.

So now I know how you feel about me. All that's going do is help me know where the boundaries have to be get into hatred which you see the Bible is real clear, love your enemies, come on, come on you. I love them because they belong to God.

The vengeance work you don't do the vengeance work is my Lord, I will repay, but you gotta let your enemies know that I got boundaries you don't like me.

I believe it and so you make sure they have a healthy boundary distance from you because your chosen so I'm live in the please him.

What if you're happy good but I'm live in the please him. That's where we have to be saints of God. I live to please the Lord.

If anybody else happens to be happy. That's wonderful, but live and to hear him say well done good and faithful servant words I want to hear your accolades are fine. Take those with a grain of salt because the same people San Jose on the Sunday before will be saying crucify him in just a few days. You know it's true hated you for while they love you fall while you can get impressed. Either way, whatever you think about me. That's what you think about me, but I'm not dictated to by what you think about me I am who God says I am I can do what God says I can do I can be everything he has ordained me to be me. Stop letting people dictate to you. They don't have that power by themselves, so why would you give it to. I told you gotta stop you singles can't live but you light up my life thing you can't wait for somebody to come light up your life so many nights I sit by my window waiting for someone to sing me off so the matter what you say so need you to sing me a song. The course you light up my life. You give me hope to carry on you light up my days all listen if you let somebody come in like they own the lightbulb and that some people in here who can tell you we trying to save you the trouble and get you out of that mess before it envelops your life so listen to us we coming back if you give that much power they hold the lightbulb and when you get on their nerves, and I guarantee you get on the nerves you needed a prophecy form okay yet in the Lord would say, thou art going to get on their nerves and as soon as you get on that know what happened on scooter lightbulb and walkout and that you are back in the darkness, the window, looking for the next person to come along know you don't get that kind of power when they show up. Let him see the house of your life. Well, I got lights everywhere.

Lights all over the place they want is you already got Eliza, that's right. Keep your little raggedy lightbulb around me that I might let you in for while you can hang with me for a while, but when I get tired of you. This my house you got to go all that's where some your gotta learn to live, you do the dictating.

Stop letting people dictate to you.

Stop letting people pronounce who you are present when I get mad that you will be anything without me driving Charlie by leaving and then check back check back and then not all not at my house check back on my status once you leave you not coming back but shipment status. Every now and then you will see me happy. Holy God, doing the will of God and joy in my life I don't need you taking me somewhere I go by myself with my friends who love me go with you so I pay for your cruise.

Also I'm talking right Joe just got to learn new things. She does not believe how perpetually ignorant people are you'll see what made you want to be on the show but will be on the show.*You already so these people pay me the other folks what is the matter with Joe. I can't believe it, just long have you known them three weeks and how much money did you him $2000 waste on crack would show you what, three weeks and you give me a sad story of Bank of America and tell them the sad story see a bank will lend you the money Wells Fargo and see a bank only why you coming to me because they know doesn't know people out here who don't understand that there chosen by God and they think if they run you will fall forward. And sadly, too many people don't need charter for gout. I am not paying anybody's bills, but all I don't need you coming with Joe Sadler. No bad story. I don't need that in my life I can do bad all by my only one bad and somebody all doing well show up and let you go with your project mentality can fix them.

Look at Joe's duty. That's a word from the Lord. Look at the beauty you see somebody who what you are getting ready to do and some I'm not even kill.

That's what gets me okay now what exactly was the attraction I'm trying again just like really really that's what you that's what you thought would be a blessing in your life all know I'm not for that you got to go somewhere if you need money.

There are banks all over the place. I am not a bank for you if you want to bless somebody know exactly who they are seated there walking in accountability and be a blessing and blessing means give it doesn't mean loan.

Do yourself a favor and don't loan anybody anything. I don't care who they are, relative or friend if you needed and I feel impressed to give it to you. I'm giving it if you say no, didn't get what you give it back. That's fine but I'm not doing it as a loan I'm given it as a gift. I'm sewing this into your life. Why, because I believe in what is going on in your life so you only give to people and causes that you believe are doing right to hardluck people because they don't know so you will give him some more, and once they now know that you are inclined to give Begley keep tapping you as an ATM and I need somebody to understand that's not my job in your life. I I'm not a bail bondsman.

I'm not bailing you out anymore dear one time. Make sure they handle that right that you see their life progressing in the right direction and bless them as they go.

Do not make loans to folks because now you will mess up a whole relationship and you got to figure this out in your gotta stop messing with these people who don't have a track record of striving to do the will of God, and disciplining their lives in the process. By default on the hard times. I'm not against hardtop. We all been there. But when you have character you will not manipulate people when you're in hard times. Why because I'm chosen by God, so he knows the position I'm in and he's going bail me out of this still ahead.

God send some people in your life to stay others for only a season is pastor Paul and the rest of today's destined for victory message chosen by God.

Sometimes you have to make hard choices with the people in your life but you can trust God that not only are you chosen, but so are they if they look to the Lord and give their lives to him. He'll take care of them. Remember that day that Abraham had to take his son Ishmael and his mother Hagar and walked into the door, put some supplies on their shoulders and said God bless you, that had to be a tough time to close the door on your eldest son and on his mother that had to be a difficult decision but God told him listen to Sarah, that is underlined in most systems, Bibles, and when the Lord said, listen to your wife) Genesis look at the page also misses the Bible listen to that. I like that in our to your wife. That's what God told him no strings are being pulled. This is your oldest son Ishmael and his mother and they been in your home all these years that I was a teenager when they got kicked out here this mold is brought up what amount God said listen to your wife why because she was speaking the will of God. Sometimes we are so busy take careful God can take care of some real God bespoke in your house. You are doing anything aren't measuring up any standard on striving for anything just sit and sucking up your air in the summer time in your heat in the winter time and eaten all your groceries and you think you being kind and compassionate. Some of us will be installed. You gotta love them enough to let him roll. God bless you and keep you make your space out upon your be gracious unto you, Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace because all Abraham shut the door, get out there and the Bible says that a certain point when they had run out of those supplies and they were weeping and he/she took her son Ishmael and put him over here under a bush.

He's a teenager, but she still baby and him and then she goals of stone throw away or so and she is crime and the Lord said, I see all I see you. And now that you run out of options that you can see, let me show you what I can do in your life and God showed up and he told Hagar he said because of my covenant with that boy's father because I'm in covenant with Abraham, take care, take care of you two, God will bless people because of you. That's what he said, I'm going take care of you, Hagar was the woman who should a member come into the picture. But God has a way of blessing. Not only my miracles but my mistakes when you are chosen will not only bless your miracle here will bless your misery to and he said because of my covenant with Abraham, take care the boys also never had an Hagar, take care you know so is going to have a nation come out him and you are going to always be taken care of and you need understand. That's the God who chose you healed not only take care you will bless other people around you because of you, and you need to let them do it by taking your hands off.

I just feel responsible will get over it. In Jesus name.

Get over it. I'm not responsible.

God is responsible for you and you in many ways, are responsible for making your own decision to bless your own life. God gives you the power to become self-sufficient and self-sustaining, but you have to execute. That's why the Bible says some hard things sometimes Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica. He said I heard this saints were showing up at dinner time don't have a job and not looking for one for anybody cannot have a job be between jobs. We've all been there and I right now looking but not this coming up will keep looking. Keep praying and all that. And if God wants the Saints to sustain you here put Joe somebody's heart go to prayer meeting, as I just remember me. I believe in God looking for work and what have you, and let the Saints know that's right to do let us know but don't go hitting on them in the Lord told me to talk to you COM been around of folk hit me up you know I've been prevented. Lord told me to see you. I've had that happen out here so not a good thing when I was younger I was a little more. Well maybe in Buddhism I'm 60 as our previous message. I'm 60 I'm over it three score has taught me a whole lot. At this point they come to see it. I should talk to you are so right. Well tell me what he told you to tell me where I know he just said to talk to you okay when you talk to me you just fulfilled his plan. God bless look at that we talking. God bless you I got a run. Take care yourself onto all UK run that on me. I can these people try to run game and see only the figure you can't run game on me and succeed.

Just figure it out for your life. I am not vulnerable anymore.

I'm not gullible.

You can't just run any old thing on me. I am going to be fine and you can think whatever you want. I thought you love the Lord I do and say.
