Summary
Pastor David Elms explores the contrast between man's prideful attempt to make a name for himself and the biblical mandate to exalt the excellent name of Jesus, emphasizing that true salvation and purpose are found only in the Apostolic doctrine of the name.
Key points
- •Contrast between the builders of Babel, who sought to 'make us a name' resulting in confusion, and King David in Psalm 8, who exalted the Lord's name.
- •Modern technological towers (space exploration) show man's desire to reach the heavens, but true spiritual height is found only through the name of Jesus.
- •The 'Apostolic Deposit' of doctrine - specifically repentance, water baptism in Jesus' name, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit - is not a developing culture but a delivered faith to be contended for.
- •Being 'in Christ' is not merely speaking His name but being baptized into His name, as established in the book of Acts.
- •God promises to make our name great only when we are willing to leave our own ambitions behind to follow Him, as Abraham did.

Evaluate your personal 'branding' and ministry goals this week; intentionally pivot from seeking personal recognition to magnifying the name of Jesus in every conversation and social media post.
Reflection questions
- In what areas of my life am I trying to build a 'tower of Babel' to make a name for myself?
- Do I view the apostolic doctrine as a static tradition or a living, essential truth that I am willing to contend for?
- How does the realization that God is a 'verb' (I AM) change the way I approach my current trials?

0:00she in the word of God if you'll join me
0:02in Genesis the 11th chapter and then we
0:05will read Psalm number 8.
0:09And the whole earth was of one language
0:11and of one speech. And it came to pass
0:14as they journeyed from the east that
0:16they found a plain land of Shenar and
0:19they dwelt there. And they said one to
0:22another, "Go to let us make brick and
0:25burn them thoroughly." And they had
0:27brick for stone and slime they had for
0:29mortar. And they said, "Go to let us
0:33build a city and a tower whose top may
0:37reach unto heaven, and let us pay close
0:41attention.
0:43Let us make us a name."
0:48Join me in Psalm the 8th chapter or the
0:51eth psalm if you will and we will read
0:55the entirety of this psalm.
0:58Oh Lord our Lord,
1:01how excellent is thy name in all the
1:03earth.
1:05Who hast set thy glory above the
1:08heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and
1:11sucklings hast thou ordained strength
1:14because of thine enemies, that thou
1:17mightest steal the enemy and the
1:19avenger.
1:21When I consider thy heavens,
1:25the work of thy fingers, the moon and
1:28the stars, which thou hast ordained,
1:30what is man that thou art mindful of
1:33him? And the son of man that thou
1:37visitest him? Thou hast made him a
1:40little lower than the angels, and hast
1:41crowned him with glory and honor. Thou
1:44maest him to have dominion over the
1:46works of thy hands, and hast put all
1:48things under his feet, all sheep and
1:50oxen, yay, and the beasts of the field,
1:53the fowl of the air, and the fish of the
1:55sea, and whatsoever passeth through the
1:58paths of the seas.
2:02I think you might have heard this
2:03before.
2:05Oh Lord,
2:08>> our Lord,
2:10>> how excellent is thy name
2:13>> in all the earth.
2:15>> For your consideration for the next few
2:18moments, I want to talk about it's all
2:21about the name.
2:30>> Thank you Lord for your blessing in
2:31Jesus name. You may be seated.
2:36There was a time
2:40that scripture says
2:43everyone understood everyone
2:47and the whole earth was of one language
2:49and of one speech.
2:52There were no multiple language
2:55services.
2:57There were no translators in the back.
3:01>> There were no accents. Nothing was lost
3:03in translation.
3:05In fact, in the Hebrew, it essentially
3:07says they were of one lip and one set of
3:11words.
3:13>> There wasn't even distinctive accents.
3:16They all spoke with the same dialect.
3:18All right.
3:19>> And they said, "Let us build a city and
3:24a tower whose top may reach under the
3:27heavens, and let us
3:30make us a name." These people want a
3:34reputation.
3:36They want to boost their followers.
3:39>> They want to enlarge the scope of the
3:42reach of their brand.
3:45>> They want their logo to be seen
3:47everywhere.
3:48They want all to know here we are.
3:53>> You all have journeyed on this beautiful
3:55evening to the epicenter of the space
3:59world in the entire earth.
4:02>> The space industry and the
4:05infrastructure that stretches to the
4:07infinities are all built right here on
4:11this Florida space coast.
4:14It is a place where nowhere in the world
4:18has an infrastructure
4:20to take men to the heavens as is right
4:24here. In fact, there's nowhere that has
4:26as much money invested in it in the
4:28Western Hemisphere as this space coast
4:32does right here. Beginning in 1950,
4:34America began to pile money into the
4:38building of towers and blast launch pads
4:42to send men into the heavens. And if you
4:45are here when Falcon Heavy or if when
4:48Starship goes up, you will hear the sky
4:52split by the roar of rockets. Even here
4:55at this facility, more souls have been
4:58propelled to the heavenlies from this
5:01place on the earth than any place on the
5:05earth. Nowhere has sent up spacebased
5:08telescopes like has gone up from right
5:11here. In 1990, Hubble Space Telescope
5:15was sent to show us the heavenlies
5:17clearer than any other other time that
5:20was possible. And then years ago, they
5:23set up the James Webb telescope because
5:27the Hubble, while it saw things clearly,
5:30it did not see things far enough. They
5:32declared that the James Web would show
5:35us to the beginning of time. And so,
5:37while Hubble saw clearly, the James Web
5:40saw deeply. Earlier this year, they took
5:44the advantages of artificial
5:46intelligence and cobbled together a
5:49group of groundbased telescopes to
5:51discover what they've called the Vera
5:53Ruba Rubin telescope that shows cosmic
5:56anomalies. They have discovered uh
5:59bodies in the heavenlies that hold more
6:02gold than has ever been discovered on
6:04this earth. um elements and iron and
6:08aluminum and things in the space bodies
6:11that will bring much value of worth to
6:14the earth.
6:16>> And then they decided that wasn't
6:18enough. And so early early they sent it
6:21up just a few weeks ago, the Nancy Grace
6:25Roman telescope that sees widely a
6:28hundred times more than what Hubble will
6:30see. And it's racing to its parking spot
6:33a million miles from Earth. right now
6:36because men have had a desire to know
6:39what's out there. We have brought
6:42together a research body to look at
6:46every band of light that is there,
6:48infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray.
6:52Why? So that mankind can tie together
6:56ter the terrestrial with the celestial.
7:00>> 2020 was a year of pandemic for our
7:03country. And to take you back to the
7:06very beginning of Winds conference, I'll
7:08always remember there was some planning,
7:10there was some thought, there was some
7:12prayer, but the pandemic threw us all
7:15for a loop. And we had conference calls
7:18before the conference wondering shall
7:20we, shall we not? We knew there was
7:24something in our heart that was
7:25propelling us. Many had carried their
7:28this message to crusades around the
7:30world and they determined it can be here
7:33in America as well. And so on that
7:38conference call, I'll always remember we
7:40sat there and tried to decide shall we
7:44or shall we not do this. The grip of
7:48fear was very real. General conference
7:50had just occurred and it was also
7:54online. We didn't want to appear to be a
7:57rogue group, but there was something
7:59pressing in the spirit of Pentecostals
8:02all around the world. They were ready to
8:06come out of the grip of fear and
8:08government uh domination. And thank God
8:12we are in a state that was very friendly
8:14toward us at that time. But I remember
8:16sitting over here in 2020 and we were
8:19all wondering, shall we wear masks?
8:21Shall we not wear masks? I didn't have
8:23one on. Uh, one standing beside me had
8:26one on and I thought, do I look bad? And
8:28what does the rest of America think when
8:31the world tunes in? Are they going to
8:33think that we're careless?
8:35>> And yet, there was some burning that was
8:37propelling Pentecostals around the world
8:40to say enough already. The gospel of
8:43Jesus Christ will set us into a
8:45dimension of revival that the last days
8:48are going to demonstrate like no man has
8:51seen before.
8:54And some of you were here when the glory
8:57fell and the house was filled with the
9:00shikina of God and the music lifted this
9:04place out of the grip of a pandemic into
9:07the power of Pentecost and God showed up
9:10there.
9:16>> I'll always remember our first
9:18communion. We have communion on the
9:19Tuesday before the conference. A rocket
9:22went up that day. Now, call me unique,
9:24but I've always been interested in
9:26space. There's not a rocket that goes up
9:29that I don't probably tune in and watch
9:32it.
9:33And so, I remember that night at
9:35communion, a rocket had just gone up and
9:39it landed on a ship called I Know You
9:41Still Love Me. And while I was sitting
9:44there thinking of the communion and the
9:47chance we were taking,
9:49>> I felt something prophetic in the fact
9:51that when that rocket got back to Earth,
9:54that ship said, "I know you still love
9:56me." And I felt like the Holy Ghost
9:59heard our cry beginning then. And every
10:02year since, there has been an echo from
10:05heaven where we have stood and told the
10:08Lord, "I know.
10:15I have come to let you know that I know
10:21>> you still love me.
10:26The first grouping of people that built
10:28to the heavens wanted to do it that we
10:32may have a name. Generations later, a
10:35mature king writing from a palace that
10:39has had palace intrigue,
10:42pain, and struggling. The reason I
10:45proposed that David was not a young man
10:48was because he had a complete court. He
10:50had a well situated
10:53uh kingdom because he said, "I'm writing
10:55this. I'm not playing this myself. I'm
10:58writing this to the chief musician
11:02>> and I want to let them know that I too
11:06have considered the heavens.
11:08>> I have looked up and felt the call of
11:10the stars. I have seen destruction in
11:14the kingdom and I've experienced
11:16betrayal. But I want everyone to know
11:18something. When I consider the heavens,
11:21the sun, the moon, and the stars,
11:25I say, "What is man that thou art
11:29mindful of him? The son of man that thou
11:35visitth him." But the interesting thing
11:38about this psalm that we have all quoted
11:41so often is that it has at the beginning
11:44and the end what those that are in the
11:47literary arts call an inclusio. It's
11:50nothing more than just bookends. But in
11:53this book, in the psalm, it's unlike any
11:56psalm David has ever written because he
11:59has chosen seven exact, precise,
12:03distinct Hebrew words that will start
12:06this psalm. And then he says, I am going
12:11to stop this psalm with the same seven
12:15distinct certain particular words. And
12:19I'm going to let you know that this
12:22device that I'm using is like a chorus
12:25that must be returned to again and
12:28again. This instrument of booking
12:32bookending this song means that
12:35everything in between has to stand on
12:39the start and on the finish. Does
12:42somebody in this house know that
12:44everything in between can be determined
12:48by the start? Saying, "Oh Lord, our
12:52Lord, how excellent is thy name." When
12:56he speaks of the moon and the stars,
12:59when he speaks of the the young men and
13:01the babes and the sucklings, when he
13:04speaks of the animals, everything in
13:06between, he is establishing it on the
13:10fact that before we begin, I want to
13:13establish a tone.
13:16Oh Lord,
13:18our Lord,
13:21>> how excellent is thy name in all the
13:25earth. And as I'm wrapping this up, if
13:30you think we are finished, I want to
13:33make something clear to you. Oh Lord,
13:38our Lord, how
13:42excellent
13:50How excellent is not a question. He is
13:53overwhelmed by majesty. It's a sense of
13:56belonging. It's an esteem he has gained.
14:00Standing there as a mature aged king
14:03having the chief musician. He used to
14:06lead with his own liar, but now he has a
14:10whole band. And he said, "I'm going to
14:12write this to the chief musician. When
14:14you sit down, I want you to start out
14:17and know some of you understand." Oh
14:20Lord, our Lord,
14:24>> it is 2026.
14:27And I know some of you are understanding
14:30there is a day in which a spirit of
14:32confusion is a foot. And you have
14:36experienced some of your peers feeling a
14:39bit of trembling. Something though in
14:41you is rising up. I wonder if there's
14:44anybody who has seen a peer, a a a
14:47friend, an acquaintance seem to lose
14:51their grip on the name. They began to
14:54understand that maybe they're falling in
14:56love with an ancient doctrine instead of
14:59an apostolic doctrine. Maybe they're
15:02beginning to be enamored with a collar
15:04more than they've ever been before.
15:06Maybe they explain that we are a little
15:08too emotional and we are less planned
15:11and we are need to be more lurggical in
15:13our approach. It might be that there is
15:16a sinister silent footfall that is
15:19coming and stalking among us. And they
15:22want you to understand it's okay to use
15:25the name and quote the name and know the
15:28name but you don't need to understand
15:31just what the name means to us. It's
15:35just another instrument to reach people,
15:38but it's not the instrument. I was at a
15:41conference a few years ago with several
15:44friends and acquaintances and peers. And
15:46after a time of of worshiping in this
15:49conference, it was not a a group of
15:52people, but I can learn so much from so
15:54many people. And I was there to learn.
15:56But as we were walking out, one of my
15:58friends told me, he said, uh, they said,
16:01"David, uh, what we just heard is all in
16:04the name of Jesus." And I began to fear
16:08and tremble in my spirit. Because I
16:10thought, "Yes, they used the name of
16:13Jesus, but are you sure that you think
16:16they're in the name of Jesus?" Because I
16:19want you to hear it, so I will not shout
16:22it. There are people that know the name
16:24and speak the name and declare the name
16:28and pray in the name. But John 3 says,
16:31"Except a man be born of the water and
16:34of the spirit, he cannot enter into the
16:37kingdom of heaven." Ah, that which is
16:40born of flesh is flesh, but that which
16:43is born of spirit is spirit. Marvel not
16:46that I say unto thee, you must be born
16:50again. I said, "Are you sure that you
16:53think they're in Jesus?" He This person
16:56said they prayed and it said it and I
16:58felt the Holy Ghost speak hit me while
17:01they were speaking. I said, "Do you
17:03understand that Galatians says, "For as
17:06many of you as have been baptized into
17:10Christ, have put on Christ." that though
17:13you speak his name and pray in his name
17:16and know his name and have church in his
17:18name, it doesn't mean that you're in
17:21Christ. Because it's not until I've got
17:24some believers in this househ. It's not
17:27until you are baptized into Christ and
17:32that's when you put on Christ.
17:41I know some say there are 50 shades of
17:44Christianity. Others propose there's 20
17:47shades of Pentecost.
17:49>> But I want to declare to you there's
17:50only one shade.
17:52>> It's those that are going to go when the
17:54trumpet sounds.
17:56>> Baptized in Acts 2. They repented. They
17:59were baptized. And they were filled with
18:01the Holy Ghost. I want to propose to you
18:04that Peter didn't have it wrong when he
18:06gave them the baptism, the repentance,
18:09and the Holy Ghost message. Acts 8, the
18:13same thing happened. Acts 10, the same
18:15thing happened. Paul said in Acts 19,
18:19"Have you not received the Holy Ghost
18:22since you believed?" He said, "No." Then
18:25Paul said, "Then you're not even in him
18:28yet." Then what name have you been
18:31baptized into? They said into the
18:34baptism of John. But some people are
18:37getting a little bit wondering if really
18:40we are that serious about baptism in the
18:44name of Jesus. I want to tell you calmly
18:46today. It's all about a name. It is all
18:53about a name.
18:58There are not five ways to get to
19:00heaven. There are not 15 ways into the
19:03pearly gate. The whole New Testament
19:06supposes one kind of salvation. In fact,
19:09in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem Council, one
19:12of the great verses of our doctrine was
19:15that they looked and supposed what's
19:17going on with the Gentiles
19:21and they said, "What? seen that the
19:23Gentiles have received the Holy Ghost in
19:27the same manner that we got it. And as
19:32they work through it, we are living in a
19:34day that are offering a thousand
19:36different shades of supposed entrance
19:39into heaven. But the Bible tells us that
19:42Jude said, "I sought to write to you of
19:45the common." I said, "It's not five
19:48different versions. It's one version.
19:51the common salvation that's among you.
19:55But and but it wasn't there. I could not
19:58do it. So I'm writing to you to
20:01earnestly contend for the faith that was
20:07delivered to the saints.
20:10We're living in an hour that they have
20:12changed so many doctrines. And there is
20:15a sinister force that's trying to mess
20:17up your doctrine to say God loves a lot
20:20of people. And he does. But they have
20:23this thing called the development of
20:25doctrine. That means we can adjust it a
20:27little bit as we go to accommodate our
20:30culture. And it wasn't the faith that
20:34was developed to the church. It was the
20:37faith that was delivered to the church.
20:40It is what is called in the Bible or by
20:43by theologians as the apostolic
20:46deposit. There has been a deposit given
20:49to the people that this weekend when the
20:52crusade hits the streets. We're going to
20:55preach repent and be baptized every one
20:59of you in the name. Let there be no
21:02mistake. There's no give in this house.
21:14>> Abraham.
21:15Abraham,
21:17I will provide for you. Okay, I'll call
21:19you Jehovah Gyra. Moses, I'll heal your
21:22your water. Okay, we'll call you Jehovah
21:25Rafa. Gideon, I'll bring be your peace
21:28in the midst of war. Okay, I'll call you
21:30Jehovah Shalom. David, I'll be your
21:32shepherd. Okay, I'll be your Jehovah
21:34Roy. Ah, but these are promises. They
21:38are not his name. His name, the scribes
21:42wrote down YHW.
21:45And many times they would write four
21:47dots that was called a tetropuncta,
21:50which means it was a substitute for
21:52those four special holy letters. And
21:56every time in your Bible when you see
21:58written Lord in all caps, it's a
22:01terrapuna that they put in Adonai. We're
22:04saying I know he belongs there, but
22:07we're just going to tag him Lord. And
22:10when Paul was on a donkey named Saul, he
22:14was still Saul. The light came down and
22:17said, "Who art thou teruncta?
22:20Who art thou, Lord? Who art thou
22:23Adonai?" And it said, "I am." I got some
22:28apostolics in this house. I got some
22:30Bible believers in this house. I am
22:34Jesus.
22:42It's all about a name.
22:48When Moses asked God who he was, he
22:52wanted a noun. But God wouldn't give him
22:55a noun.
22:56>> God gave him a verb. He said, "I am." In
23:00other words, Moses, I will not be locked
23:02into some has been label from yesterday.
23:06I am. Don't limit what I'm doing today.
23:09What you see. I am. I am. I'm a verb. I
23:14was. I am. I am to come. The Almighty.
23:26Isaiah saw it. For us, unto us a child
23:29is born, and unto us a son is given, and
23:32the government shall be upon his
23:34shoulders, and his his his
23:36name
23:38shall be called wonderful counselor, the
23:40mighty God, the everlasting father, the
23:43prince of peace. I didn't say his names
23:47shall be called wonderful. I said his
23:49name,
23:51>> one name.
23:53Musicians come. Muhammad Ali fight
23:56fought a national a fight for the
23:59national heavyweight title in 1967.
24:02A guy by the name of Terrell and they
24:05met before the fight. And Muhammad Ali
24:08had decided that his name Cash's Clay
24:10was linked to slavery. It was a name
24:13that was given to him from the slavery
24:15days. And so he wanted to change his
24:18name so he would be freed from the
24:21shadows of slavery. And that man when he
24:25met him in the press conference before
24:26the fight actually in ' 66 right after
24:30the year I was born the man said all
24:32right Clay and Muhammad Ali said that's
24:37not my name.
24:40And he just kept talking. He said well
24:42you told me your name was Cashious Clay.
24:44And Muhammad Ali said, "No, that's not
24:46my name. My name was not derived from
24:49slavery. My name is Ali." And in that
24:53fight, it was about the seventh round.
24:57Ali started beating on Terrell in such a
25:00violent manner. Some say that the fight
25:03should have been called by the ninth
25:04round. But somewhere around round eight,
25:07after Ali would hit him, he would come
25:10back to Terl and say, "Say my name."
25:14He'd hit him again and he'd say, "What's
25:15my name?
25:18>> What's my name?" Some of you,
25:21>> the enemy has tried to call you the name
25:24of your slavery.
25:26>> He has tried to pin you back in the hour
25:29where he had a grip on you.
25:32>> And he still tries to whisper that old
25:35name in your ear. But I want to tell
25:38you, if you've been down in the water,
25:41there's a new name written down in
25:44glory.
25:57Down at the cross where my savior died.
26:01>> Down where for cleansing from sin I
26:03cried.
26:05>> Down Jesus came and made me whole. Glory
26:10>> to his name. Oh hail the power of Jesus
26:14name. Let angels prospate fall. Bring
26:18forth the royal diadem and crown him
26:24Lord of all. Take the name of Jesus with
26:28you. Child of trouble and of woe. I want
26:33to tell you Isaiah had it right. Jesus
26:36is wonderful.
26:37>> Jesus is counselor.
26:39>> Jesus is the mighty God.
26:42>> There is no other name under heaven
26:44>> given among men whereby we must be
26:46saved. And whatsoever you do in word or
26:49deed, do all in the name of Jesus.
26:54>> Wherefore God hath highly exalted him,
26:56and given him a name that is above every
26:58name, that at the name of Jesus, every
27:01knee should bow a things in heaven, and
27:06the things in earth, and the things
27:08under the earth, and every tongue should
27:10confess that Jesus,
27:14somebody say Jesus.
27:16I said it's all about a name.
27:19>> It's all about a name.
27:27>> I want my grandson to come up here. Is
27:30River in the house? Is River Shiloh
27:33around? Okay, get that dude up here. Now
27:36listen, this is my grandson.
27:40I Come here, handsome man. Listen, this
27:43is this guy is better than a preacher at
27:46a potluck. Uh this guy right here. This
27:49this is River Shiloh Elms. Uh you know,
27:53my daddy gave me a good name, and I'm
27:56grateful for it. I'm humbled by it. The
27:58greatest elms are the elms you never
28:00knew. It was my grandparents. They were
28:03just saints in Brother David F. Grace
28:05Church. My grandpa fixed the bus. My my
28:09my grandmother cleaned the church. My
28:12grandpa always bought bazooka gum to
28:15give it out in the foyer. My grandpa, he
28:18allowed me to turn the tithing envelopes
28:21into air paper airplanes and he wouldn't
28:24tell grandma. My grandpa Elms had put a
28:27pickup on a fiddle and stuck it from
28:29Radio Shack and plugged it into an amp
28:32and he made the most wonderful
28:33screeching violin message uh sounds you
28:37ever heard. Those were the great elms.
28:40Then I've got some uncles that have
28:41given a name to me that's wonderful. And
28:44my generation has sought to keep it
28:47pure. And I'm so thankful for my sons
28:49and my daughters who have kept it. But
28:51ladies and gentlemen, I've given this
28:54little boy a name.
28:56>> This is Austin. Not Austin. His daddy's
28:58Austin. Timothy Elms. This is River
29:01Shiloh.
29:03>> How you doing, Hansen?
29:05>> Good. He's got his first loose tooth.
29:07You see him holding it right there? He
29:10walked up to me night said, "Pop pop
29:11pop." I got a loose tooth. I heard it
29:14put his mother into weeping.
29:18River Shiloh, we asked him to pray
29:20somewhere close to thanksgiving. And we
29:23always pray a similar manner, but at the
29:26end of it, we always say in Jesus' name,
29:30>> amen.
29:32Well, we asked River to pray and River
29:36got a new inspiration. Did a little
29:38homework. I think it was his mother who
29:40taught him this. But he shocked me
29:43because I was used to always just saying
29:46in Jesus' name, amen. And he said at the
29:51end of his prayer, in Jesus mighty name.
30:05There is a name I love to hear.
30:08>> I love to sing its worth.
30:11>> We're going to invade the streets of a
30:13lost world this week.
30:15>> There's going to be preachers preaching
30:17and opening their heart. And yet, I want
30:19you to know something. Be clear about
30:21Winds conference. It's all about a name.
30:26It's all because of Jesus
30:28>> we are here. And when I hold the next
30:31generation, the next wave of my family
30:35name, I want my little baby boy to know
30:39in Jesus
30:42>> mighty name
30:43>> I pray.
30:47Listen, the singers are going to sing,
30:51but some of you have been tempted that
30:53you had to promote your name for anybody
30:55to get to know you. Some of you have
30:57thought, man, if I could just get a
30:59podcast like like one of these wonderful
31:02preachers up here, then maybe it could
31:04happen. Or maybe if I could just get a
31:07good logo, and you've been pressed to
31:09get a logo. There's nothing wrong with
31:11logos and ministry names and podcasts
31:14and all of that following and making
31:17sure every social media represents the
31:20king. But I want to tell you something.
31:23They wanted to make them a name in
31:24Babel. And if you just want to make
31:27yourself a name,
31:29>> then I promise you're going to get
31:30chaos.
31:32>> You're going to get confusion.
31:34>> You're going to speak languages you
31:36don't even understand. And I'm not
31:37talking about the Holy Ghost. things
31:40will come out of you that'll baffle the
31:42fact of your mind that it came out of
31:44you in that moment because you got
31:46sidetracked and God said, "I'll change
31:49what you say because you thought it was
31:52all about you." But one chapter later,
31:54it's not that God's not concerned about
31:56you.
31:59You young people, you middle-aged folks,
32:02the family struggling with housing
32:04payments. Listen, God's concerned about
32:07you,
32:09but he found a man who would leave it
32:10all in chapter 12. He found a man who
32:14would say, "I'll say bye to of the
32:17Cales."
32:19And the Lord said, "Abraham,
32:22>> I will make of thee
32:25>> a great name."
32:27>> Some of you need to leave your name in
32:28that seat. You need to leave the press
32:31to be great in that seat. And some of
32:35you need to reconfirm. I'm people of the
32:38name.
32:39>> I believe in the name. I'm a a soldier
32:43of the name. There's no confusion to me.
32:47I must be baptized in the name. I see
32:51you coming. You come and say, "I'm going
32:53to leave some things behind. I'm going
32:55to leave some things behind. I'm going
32:57to only go where the name is. where
33:00Jesus knows. It's all about you, Lord.
33:05It's your hand. It's your heart. It's
33:10your love.
33:12Say his name.
33:16Say his name.
33:21There's no confusion. It's all about a
33:24name. It's all about a name.
