Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez and guest Yarwek Tadler discuss the 'dangerous epidemic' of chasing material success at the cost of the soul, offering a path from worldly brokenness to spiritual redemption through vulnerability and surrender to Christ.
Key points
- •Success without God is ultimately empty and can lead to deep spiritual and emotional brokenness.
- •Men often struggle with vulnerability due to societal programming, which leads to isolation and 'sedation' through work, fitness, or substances.
- •True transformation happens from the 'inside out' by building an inner altar and relationship with the Holy Spirit rather than seeking external validation.
- •Material achievement at the expense of presence in the family can cause lasting relational damage, but God is a restorer of what was lost.

Life application
This week, practice being 'present' by turning off distractions to connect deeply with your family and God. If you are struggling with a mental health burden, reach out to a trusted counselor or friend to break the power of isolation.
Reflection questions
- In what ways have you been seeking validation from the 'outside in' rather than the 'inside out'?
- What are the 'sedatives' you use (work, social media, hobbies) to avoid being alone with your own thoughts and God?
- Is there a specific area of your life where your pride is preventing you from being vulnerable and finding healing?
- How can you prioritize the 'church within you' during the six days between Sunday services?

0:00I want us to
0:03take a quiet moment
0:06from
0:07every distraction.
0:10Everything that
0:12would
0:14try to distract us from this moment.
0:18This conversation that we're going to
0:20have deserves your full attention
0:22because
0:24what my guest and I are about to address
0:27and speak directly about
0:30it has to do with the condition of our
0:32hearts and the direction of our lives.
0:36The truth is,
0:38there are
0:39a subtle or there's a subtle, I should
0:42say,
0:44dangerous
0:46epidemic in our culture today.
0:49It is not only affecting the outside
0:52world, but it is also quietly making its
0:56way in the body of Christ.
0:59It is the relentless pursuit of success,
1:04possessions,
1:06status,
1:08and other material things outside
1:11of the timing of God.
1:15Many people are consumed with chasing
1:18achievements,
1:20uh uh uh
1:21you know, acquiring wealth, acquiring
1:24material things, and indulging in the
1:27luxury of life or what life has to
1:30offer.
1:31And while there's nothing wrong with us
1:35achieving success,
1:37the danger lies in pursuing these things
1:40at the expense of your relationship with
1:44Jesus Christ.
1:46Mark chapter 3 verse 38, it tells us,
1:50"For what will it profit a man
1:54to gain
1:56the whole world
1:58and then lose his soul?" In addition to
2:00that, Matthew 6:33 reminds us
2:03of the proper order of priority of of
2:07priority, I should say, in our lives. It
2:09says, "But seek you first the kingdom of
2:11God and his righteousness, and all
2:13things shall be added unto you." So, I
2:17believe that our lives must be anchored
2:19in God's will, not driven by culture,
2:23comparison, or personal, if you will,
2:26ambition. Success without God is
2:30ultimately empty.
2:33Let me say that again. Success without
2:36God
2:37is ultimately empty. Everything we gain
2:42carries eternal consequences.
2:46So, my conversation today
2:49that I will have with this gentleman is
2:51to challenge you so that you can
2:54recalibrate
2:55and realign your thinking with God's
2:59word over your life. Want to just read a
3:04little bit about this gentleman.
3:06I'm First of all, I'm really honored to
3:08be
3:09sitting next to him because before I got
3:12a chance to to know him, he was invited
3:15here to the
3:16Good Brothers event where they had a
3:18wonderful lecture with men on stage, and
3:23I looked at him before he opened his
3:24mouth, and I said, "I know this
3:26gentleman."
3:27And I was trying to figure out where I
3:30knew him from, and then when they
3:33indicated who he was, I said, "That's
3:35where I knew him from." So,
3:38Yarwek Tadler, did I say the last name
3:40right? Tadler is a seasoned real estate
3:44investor and a passionate advocate for
3:46mental health awareness.
3:49With about 30 years of experience in
3:51residential and commercial real estate
3:53investment, he has cultivated a
3:56portfolio spanning thousands of units
3:59globally. Originally from Poland,
4:03he embarked upon a journey to achieve
4:05the American dream, recognizing that
4:07every role from a dishwasher to boss
4:10played a pivotal part in his
4:13development. As a co-owner operator of
4:17People's Choice of People's Choice
4:19apartments LLC, Yarwek
4:24had grown his real estate empire to one
4:27of the largest singular owned real
4:29estate holding companies without
4:32investors equity in the country.
4:35Yarwek believes mental health is a
4:39systematic
4:41epidemic that must be addressed more
4:43publicly.
4:45Regardless of social status, a
4:47life-altering accident,
4:50and COVID during COVID,
4:53um um you know, really was an
4:56eye-opening for him. He's writing a
4:58book. The book is going to be and the
5:00book is titled Not Enoughness,
5:04The Gift and the Course. Through
5:07motivational speaking, workshops, and so
5:09forth, he travels the world and he
5:11speaks.
5:13But first of all, thank you for being
5:14here today. Would you Would you welcome
5:16him?
5:18Thank you.
5:19Okay. Now,
5:20reason why I brought you here, let's
5:23talk about it a little bit, because
5:26I believe God's going to deliver some,
5:28especially men. I wanted some men and
5:30brothers.
5:31If I were you, do not go anywhere.
5:35Please hear me today.
5:38Don't log off.
5:40I don't care unless it's a
5:42life-and-death situation.
5:44Do not get distracted.
5:47Because Yarwek, most of us as men,
5:51women too
5:52there's this rush
5:55to acquire things.
5:58Money,
5:59the cars,
6:01the women,
6:03the drugs,
6:05the fame, the opening of business.
6:09And I used to see you on the front of
6:13magazines.
6:15Big time.
6:17Having it all.
6:19Multi-million dollar. When it comes to
6:22money, you're not foreign to it.
6:24When it comes to success,
6:27you've been there.
6:29I heard you on this stage a few weeks
6:32ago
6:34said
6:36you were suicidal.
6:38Lost it all.
6:40And the only thing that kept you
6:44was you met God.
6:47>> [applause]
6:53>> How is it a man who was making all that
6:57money
7:00found himself in a dark place?
7:05You know, entire life you chase. By the
7:07way, thank you for inviting me. I'm so
7:10humble.
7:11And I don't know if I can
7:14overgrow the performance of the singers
7:16and you guys speaking this.
7:19The singers, yeah, he's applauding us,
7:21see?
7:21>> I think God already did the work, so
7:24>> [laughter]
7:24>> I'm just enormously grateful for being
7:27here. Thank you. You're welcome.
7:31You know, like
7:32since we were children,
7:35we just listen to everybody voices,
7:39and we don't know which voice to listen.
7:42And um
7:45when you start seeing the stuff on the
7:46outside, like me, I'm guilty of it. I
7:49make
7:52I think I probably make more mistakes
7:53than money.
7:55Uh
7:56And I still did not listen to God.
7:59And when I finally listen, when I found
8:01a voice, the Holy Spirit speaking
8:03through me,
8:04I almost took my own life.
8:07So, I finally learn.
8:10There is nothing on the outside,
8:12nothing.
8:14Nothing
8:16that can bring you joy,
8:19happiness,
8:20peace,
8:22love. [snorts]
8:23You got Jesus within you, you got God
8:26within you.
8:28>> [applause]
8:33>> And life happen from the inside out,
8:37not from the outside in.
8:39I love that.
8:41Life happens
8:43from the inside out, not from the
8:46outside in. Right? So, there there are
8:49people
8:51right now listening to you,
8:53and there's this rush, I want to make it
8:56big.
8:58There are guys, it's all about the body.
9:02It's about the women.
9:04It's all about everything, sex, all that
9:07stuff.
9:09You were in your
9:13What's your condo or your your penthouse
9:15or your hotel room, and you wanted
9:20to be in darkness. You didn't want to
9:21see no sunlight. Talk to us a little bit
9:23about that, the dark place.
9:27You know,
9:28I was here, I think 2 weeks ago, a month
9:31ago, and I'm going to say it again.
9:35I wish all of you, all your dreams, all
9:39the money, all the successes, whatever
9:41you dream of, children, money, plane,
9:45yachts, houses, whatever you wish for,
9:49I would snap my fingers and you got it
9:51right now.
9:52And God would do it for you.
9:55But I can guarantee you, I'll be here a
9:57year from now,
9:58all of you would not be here.
10:00You would commit suicide.
10:04We're chasing something on the outside
10:06we can never chase.
10:08Never.
10:10I was emotionally wealthy, spiritually
10:13wealthy.
10:14I was financially wealthy, physically
10:16wealthy,
10:18and I stayed in bed for 40 years.
10:22For 40 days, I'm sorry, and I couldn't
10:25get out.
10:27I lost my muscles,
10:29and I couldn't just I stayed in the dark
10:32place. It doesn't matter if I was in the
10:34mansion for 100 million or I was
10:35underneath the palm tree. It didn't
10:38matter.
10:40On the outside, I had anything you can
10:43imagine. People were clapping, I had
10:45title, I had money,
10:47I had
10:49medals.
10:51But on the inside,
10:54the mask was on for 49 years.
11:00And the first time in life, God always
11:03give you a crisis that you can carry.
11:07Always.
11:09And he gave me first time when I was
11:11ready to jump on the boat and take the
11:13last dive.
11:14And God said like, "Nope, you're not
11:16strong enough."
11:19And that's when I found my purpose.
11:21That's when I found God. Jesus, the Holy
11:24Spirit was screaming.
11:28>> [applause]
11:32>> With all the noises from outside,
11:35you are not I wasn't listening.
11:38I wasn't listening.
11:42And when I sit in silence,
11:45I finally heard the voice.
11:51So, you know, I was tell people
11:54and it's funny that you're talking about
11:56the success.
11:58When you go to the church, the church is
12:01a shortcut.
12:03You have to build your inner church.
12:12Today is Sunday. This hour,
12:16God is letting you be lazy. You listen,
12:19you're getting God in you, and by the
12:21way, we all have a God and Jesus within
12:22us.
12:23Our heart is our altar.
12:26Okay?
12:27But when you go home,
12:30for the next 6 days and 22 hours,
12:34that's
12:35when the church goes on.
12:47So, and I lost that.
12:50So, I when we because
12:53and it's like why
12:55why we doing this? Like why I was doing
12:57this? I mean, I
12:59the devil won with me. They give you
13:01little bribes. I was comparing myself, I
13:03want to have a little bit more of this,
13:05a little bit more of this, another
13:07business, another title, more
13:08businesses.
13:10And at some point,
13:13the outside world comparing to the
13:16inside world,
13:17it just broke.
13:20And that's why we have so many suicides.
13:23That's why we have so many depressions.
13:26That's why we have so many divorces.
13:30Because if you build your inner church,
13:34and you listen to your inner
13:37I say inner voice is like a Holy Spirit.
13:40You know, because we have all Jesus in
13:42us,
13:42then you loved everything around you.
13:45You don't compare, there's no hate. The
13:47society is trying to break us. Yes, sir.
13:50Yes, sir. You know, by the financials,
13:53you know, about the financial status,
13:56the color, you know, the titles, the
13:58education.
14:00And we are all the same. Yes. We are one
14:04soul. One.
14:07Wow. Wow. Wow.
14:10Let's talk a little bit about the
14:12struggle with vulnerability. Many men
14:15wrestle with expressing their emotions
14:18and embracing vulnerability.
14:21Why do you think that is such a
14:25challenge for many men? You know, James
14:28chapter 5 verse 16 says, "Confess your
14:31sins one to another, pray for one
14:33another that you may be healed." Um
14:37I think when you were here about a month
14:39ago with the men's ministry, and you
14:42know, you talked about that dark place,
14:44you didn't want to get out of bed and
14:45anything like that. Um was it your pride
14:50that
14:51didn't want you to seek help?
14:54Or what did it What is causing men
14:59to not be vulnerable? Because I think
15:02what God's want wants to do today,
15:04Yarwek, is to save men.
15:07You got away.
15:09I got away.
15:11You should If it was left up to the
15:13devil,
15:14you wouldn't be sitting in that chair
15:15today.
15:18He knows our future.
15:21So, he'll allow the cravings of material
15:25real things to consume us.
15:28And when we can't find happiness in it
15:31in them,
15:32then those same things choke us and
15:35leads us to suicidal thoughts.
15:39So, what is it about us, men? Why we
15:42can't just be vulnerable?
15:45Just tell the truth. We're hurting. We
15:47are dumb.
15:55We're simple and dumb. And
15:58but But you know what?
16:00I just I don't want it to go away from
16:02us. Uh
16:03We've been programmed by society. At
16:05least that's how I was programmed by my
16:06parents, by my father, my grandfather.
16:09Completely not aware of it. You know,
16:12men stay silent, they struggle, they
16:15don't say anything, they don't cry.
16:18You know, when I was going through my
16:19most difficult time,
16:21I have a lot of coaches, I spent a lot
16:22of money on self-development.
16:26And I was I have a guilt and shame. I
16:28didn't want to tell anybody what I'm
16:30going through. Because for like 48
16:33years, you wear the mask. Nobody knows,
16:35everybody think you got it, you're
16:37strong.
16:38So, there's a guilt and a shame.
16:41And it's a true story.
16:43I didn't know anybody what I'm going
16:45through.
16:46And um so, I was driving, I was looking
16:51for therapist,
16:53but I didn't want to do online, I didn't
16:54want to tell them my name. It's like
16:56listen, so I drove by, there's like a
16:59like a
17:00therapy sessions, right? So, I was like
17:02therapist.
17:03So, I walked in and it's like, "Yo, you
17:05got to fill out the form." Well, I don't
17:06want to tell you my first name, my last
17:08name, because then you're going to
17:09Google you about advice you're going to
17:10give me. You know what I mean? It's
17:12like, "What's wrong with you? You have
17:13everything you can imagine." I'm like,
17:15"Yeah, but I'm empty. Like I have I'm
17:18depressed, I'm suicidal. Like I don't
17:20want to be here."
17:21He said, "Well, you got to fill out the
17:23form." I filled out the form, and I
17:25literally I knew he's not going to judge
17:27me. If he judge me, I'm going to like,
17:29"Okay, I'm going to just leave." So, I
17:30cannot show up in my own bubble.
17:33And then he said, "Those are normal
17:35feelings and emotions."
17:37Really? Okay. Then I went online, found
17:40second therapist.
17:42Okay, he goes like, "That's normal."
17:45Because remember, in my
17:48head, in my programming,
17:51if you go to therapy, there's something
17:53wrong with you.
17:56Yep. There's nothing wrong with you.
18:04So, finally, second therapist told me
18:08that I'm normal, I have normal emotions
18:11and feelings. So, finally, I start
18:13opening to my friends.
18:15Oh, Yarwek, you're going through this,
18:17too? Me, too?
18:18What?
18:20Everybody have this inner dialogue?
18:24I thought it was only me.
18:27And boy, when I become vulnerable,
18:30I start speaking about my weaknesses,
18:34about all the stuff I'm going through,
18:38I took all the power from devil.
18:40Wow. Wow.
18:44This is good. This is good.
18:48Skip over a few things here. Let's talk
18:50about the way you know, you talk about
18:52letting go of pride. Basically, that's
18:54what you were saying. But I just want to

20:58Believe me, I have two of my kids here.
21:01They don't care about the money. They
21:02only care about me. They want a time
21:04with me.

21:16You lose the marriage because you

21:20working. I'm doing Look at all this
21:21stuff.
21:23Um
21:25you know, 2 years ago, I went with my
21:28daughter for a daughter dance, and I
21:30have two older daughters.
21:32And they asked me like, "Dad, can you go
21:34Can you go with me to the daughter
21:36dance?" Like, "I don't do this." Like,
21:38"But all the dads do." But do any of
21:41them live like you do?
21:43I'm like, "I don't do this stuff." And I
21:45never went with them to the daughter
21:47dance.
21:48I don't have time for this stuff.
21:51>> [snorts]
21:52>> When I went to the daughter dance with
21:54my youngest one, I couldn't believe it.
21:58Like the experience I took away.
22:01And I took this away from my oldest
22:03ones.
22:05And then, of course, after divorce
22:06happened,
22:07my two oldest disowned me because like,
22:09"You Dad, you're trying to be a dad
22:11right now, but you were never present."
22:17Where were you for the last 15 years?
22:21Now you're trying to be a dad?
22:25So man

22:30When you connect with yourself,
22:33with your ego,
22:35and with your heart, with your soul,
22:38when you learn how to be with yourself,
22:40you're going to learn how to be with
22:42everybody else.
22:48Wow.
22:50Two more things, Y Warwick, and then
22:52we're going to pray. I think there's a
22:53break-in. There's
22:56God is already speaking to the heart of
22:58so many people.
23:00This is a unique sermon.
23:03Unique sermon.
23:05Um
23:08I want you to, just for a moment,
23:12talk to male and female
23:16about the importance of seizing this
23:18moment to surrender to God.
23:24You just said something that I think is
23:27choking a lot of people right now. When
23:30you talked about
23:33you were just out there making money,
23:35and you know how we men think.
23:37We're making the money, so why should
23:39our families be complaining?
23:41I ain't got time for that.
23:43Because we think the wife and the
23:46children are just excited about the
23:47house,
23:49the car, when sometimes all they want is
23:51us.
23:54You know,
23:55and
23:57looking back now, I know it must have
24:01broken your heart as a father
24:04to hear your daughters say to you,
24:06"Where were you?"
24:08Now, to you, you were there.
24:12Just physically providing. You got the
24:15money,
24:16but emotionally, you were not there.
24:19Seize this moment to talk to people who
24:22don't have to take your path.
24:25They can They can make it right with God
24:27now
24:28by fixing them and doing the right
24:31thing.
24:35You know, it
24:37And I And I keep saying that because
24:39we're going to talk about living being a
24:40present moment. Even right now,
24:43if you If I was on this stage five,
24:45maybe seven, eight years ago,
24:47I would right now think, "Where do I
24:49have to fly? What I have to do? Uh which
24:51deal I'm going to do?" I wouldn't be
24:53here.
24:54I'm sitting here, and I feel everybody's
24:56energy.
24:57There's a lot of love in this room, but
24:59there's a lot of also pain.
25:03There's a lot of love in this room, but
25:05there's also a lot of pain in this room.
25:08That's what he just said. So, um
25:11>> Wow.
25:12But how do I stay present? How do I stay
25:15true to yourself?
25:18The second you think that you're a
25:20victim of the circumstances,
25:23we own create the stuff in our own head.
25:27Believe me, guys, monks
25:30or Buddhas, they don't run to the
25:32billionaires or celebrities, "Hey, help
25:35me to be happy."
25:37Guess who does? All the celebrities and
25:40the billionaires goes to them is like,
25:41"Help me. I'm miserable. I have
25:43everything. I'm miserable."
25:46But we live in the past, we live in the
25:49future, we don't enjoy the moment.
25:51And life is happening to you right now
25:54as I speak.
25:59And there is a reason you're here. There
26:01is a reason [clears throat] I'm here.
26:03My speech was canceled. I was supposed
26:05to be in Krakow, and we talked this
26:07morning with Bishop,
26:09and you You read me the script.
26:12And and I said,
26:14"I'm supposed to be here."
26:18Just
26:21Life is a journey.
26:23>> [clears throat]
26:24>> And it's not a destination, but we all
26:27want to get there quicker and quicker.
26:30If I have this, then I'm going to be
26:32happy. If I have this, I'm going to be
26:33happy. It doesn't matter what your goals
26:36are. When you achieve them, you're going
26:38to be miserable.
26:43Enjoy the journey and the person you
26:45become on the journey.
26:50>> [applause]
26:55>> I have a people that um
26:57Let's You know, I
26:59I'm a
27:01I like to work out a lot.
27:03And uh
27:04I was constantly chasing for the
27:06validation. So,
27:09um I want to talk a little bit about
27:10sedation. And the reason like when I say
27:13men, and of course, this is for men and
27:15women,
27:16uh we sedated, you know, with because
27:19people think sedation it's only alcohol,
27:21drugs porn.
27:23Sedation is also working out, working,
27:27and and food.
27:31And the reason we sedate because we
27:33don't know how to be with ourselves.
27:37Wow.
27:39Wow.
27:41We truly don't know how to be with
27:43ourselves. So, what is sedation? It's
27:46just running from reality, from the
27:48current moment, for be present with
27:50yourself.
27:52When you learn to be present,
27:54stillness
27:56and boredom
27:59it's your biggest friend.
28:02Wow.
28:05God whisper.
28:09And that's when you listen to your inner
28:10voice.
28:12Get out of your head. Get out of your
28:15ego.
28:16Wow. We are all love, and we are all
28:19abundance.
28:20When you find it,
28:23you don't look at outside. You connect
28:25with your kids, with your wives, with
28:27your husbands, with everybody you work
28:30for.
28:34Please, God loves you. God have
28:36unconditional love for you. He doesn't
28:39care what you've done a week ago,
28:42a month ago.
28:47He only cares that you spread the love.
28:52But you have the love within you. Build
28:53the church within you.
28:56When you leave this church right now,
28:58please, this is just the beginning.
29:04Stay at this moment. Stay present.
29:08There's so much hate on this earth.
29:11Please, don't look at there. Look at
29:13inside.
29:16There's a reason we all here.
29:19To spread the love of God.
29:21Love of Jesus.
29:24Wow.
29:26Wow.
29:28Wow.

29:56not for the other things in the service,
29:57but for this very moment.

30:08you in your head.
30:11And God sent this man today

33:22[music and singing]
33:32[music]
33:32[singing]
33:38[music and singing]
33:47[music and singing]
33:53[music]
34:02[music]
34:06>> Now that the men
34:07the brothers are here
34:10we really don't have any room for the
34:12ladies. So here's what I'm going to ask
34:13you women to do.
34:16>> [music]
34:16>> If what was said this morning
34:18spoke volume to you
34:22and you were tremendously impacted by
34:27what brother Yarvik said
34:30and you feel that you need to be
34:31included in this prayer. Wherever you're
34:33seated, I want you to stand. And you can
34:36remain standing there. All the women who
34:38felt that this was for you today.
34:40This was for you. That's it. Just go
34:42ahead and stand
34:44right where you're at. Right where
34:46you're at.
34:49So here's what I'm going to challenge
34:51each and every one of you to do. And
34:53especially you men.
34:56When I tell you God loves you
34:59I mean that.
35:00And here's the reason why.
35:02Because he tailored this service
35:04specifically for you.
35:07He did.
35:08You know why? Because there's a lot of
35:09stuff going on in our head.
35:12Some of you, you got a lot of buddies
35:14around you, but you're not vulnerable.
35:16You don't tell them nothing and they
35:17don't even know that you're suffocating.
35:21They don't even know. They don't even
35:23know that you're on the verge
35:25of that
35:27jumping over the cliff.
35:30You're looking fine.
35:32Be honest. You're pretending
35:35because you're hiding your pain.
35:38But today we're asking you just cast
35:40your cares. The Bible says cast your
35:41cares on the Lord. Give him your burden.
35:44Stop worrying about things like like the
35:47things that's on your mind.
35:49I get it. Like Yarvik said
35:52God's not the one who's going to punish
35:54you and beat up on you cuz you did
35:56something last week, last night, or last
35:59year. Once you go to him and you repent
36:01of your sins
36:03then God will make it right. He'll use
36:06your past as your testimony.
36:10This man is on this stage today because
36:13he had an encounter with God.
36:17And that's what God is saying to you.
36:19You need to have an encounter with him
36:21because one day you're going to be on a
36:23stage talking to a lot of people about
36:27your experience with God.
36:31Cuz he said he'd never leave you.
36:33He'll never forsake you.
36:35So you hang in there. Don't you ever
36:37give up.
36:40Don't you ever give up.
36:45This is not your funeral.
36:52This is not your funeral. This is not a
36:54season
36:55for you to prepare yourself to be
36:58buried.
37:00>> [music]
37:00>> God has more in you
37:03that he wants to come out of you. You
37:06have yet to become the best version of
37:08yourself. And that's why the devil want
37:11to destroy you. That's why the devil
37:13want to take you out of here. But in the
37:15name of Jesus, I'm telling you you are
37:18covered by God and no weapon formed
37:21against you will ever prosper. You're
37:23going to make it.
37:25And for every woman out there
37:28you stand firm.
37:30You believe the word of God.
37:33Hustle. Do whatever you got to do,
37:34brothers and sisters. Go out there, make
37:36a living. Fight to survive.
37:39But never ignore God.
37:43Never.
37:45Never try to reach the top without him.
37:50Because I'm telling you
37:52no one
37:54can take God's stuff
37:57and act like you don't know where it
37:59came from.
38:00He knows how to humble us.
38:05>> [music]
38:06>> He knows how to humble us.
38:08You're streaming. He knows how to humble
38:10you.
38:11You may be in the PRIME OF YOUR LIFE
38:14ignoring God. I don't want God. I don't
38:16want to serve him. I don't believe in
38:17this and
38:18but ONE EVENT IN LIFE, ONE
38:22ONE EVENT IN LIFE
38:24can strip you of what you have labored
38:27for 30 years.
38:32You can lose it all. And who you going
38:34to run to?
38:36So I'm encouraging you
38:38stand firm.
38:40I believe after today, if you do what he
38:42told told you to do
38:44bring the church in you after today,
38:47you're going to be a different man.
38:49You're going to be a different woman.
38:51Come on. Somebody ought to give God
38:52praise for that.
38:55So lift your hands, everybody.
38:58And the rest of you are seated, let's do
39:00this together. Let's all stand.
39:02Let's all stand. Those of you are
39:04streaming
39:05lift your hands now. Come on. Lift it as
39:07high as you can. Would you? Would you?
39:09As high as you can.
39:10Cuz I'm going to pray. Why do I ask you
39:12to lift your hand? It's just a
39:14an act of surrender to God.
39:18Father, today we come to you. [music] We
39:20thank you
39:21for the message that
39:23was preached
39:25to us today in the form of this
39:27conversation.
39:29Thank you for
39:31the many men who have
39:33made themselves vulnerable by being
39:35honest
39:37flooding this altar
39:40saying
39:42they want to surrender to you.
39:44They want to give you all of their
39:45burdens.
39:48They want to cast all of their cares on
39:50you.
39:51You see them. You know what they've been
39:53struggling with. You know what they've
39:55been going through and you designed this
39:58service today
40:01specifically for them
40:03to let them know
40:06that you see and you know exactly
40:10the burden that's on their hearts.
40:13Thank you that this service today
40:16has canceled many with suicidal
40:19thoughts.
40:22Many who felt
40:24lower
40:25and less than who you've created them to
40:28be.
40:29Thank you
40:31that Yorick's testimony gave them hope
40:33today
40:35to realize that they are the apple of
40:37your eye. That they are blessed. They
40:40are anointed. You still have purpose for
40:42them.
40:43Thank you for the dads who are here
40:45today who missed it.
40:47We're not there for their children.
40:50Didn't play the role.
40:53Cuz some of them, Father, has to do with
40:55a generational curse.
40:57Thank you that you gave them hope today.
41:00They cannot change what's in the past.
41:04But today, God, you can use them.
41:08Today, you can use them to do their part
41:11now.
41:12I pray that you touch the heart of their
41:14children.
41:16That their children will find it in
41:17their hearts to forgive them.
41:20Many daughters and sons who are hurting
41:22because fathers weren't there.
41:25In the name of Jesus, let today be the
41:27day where you'll bring restoration with
41:29that family. Restoration with that
41:32father and his children. Restoration
41:35even with that child's mother. Father, I
41:37pray, God, that you would just do a
41:40mighty work in that home, in that
41:42marriage. I pray. Touch these women,
41:45Father, in the name of Jesus. Would you
41:48continue to bless them, even those who
41:50are carrying the load, those who feel as
41:53if they cannot handle it by themselves.
41:56I pray in the name of Jesus that today's
41:59service would have given them hope that
42:01you will not forget them.
42:05So, thank you.
42:06You know, we're going to leave this
42:08place knowing that we're blessed. We're
42:10anointed.
42:11That we're gifted. That your anointing
42:13rest upon us. That your favor is on us.
42:16And that, God, these men are mighty men
42:19of valor.
42:20And these women are virtuous women.
42:24And we give you praise, honor, and glory
42:26for it. And we thank you in Jesus' name.
42:30Amen. Come on, put those hands together.
42:34Come on, put those hands together and
42:35thank God.
42:38Thank God. Thank God.
42:40Thank God. Would you give it up and
42:42thank God for Yorick?
42:44Thank you. Thank you for being so open.
42:47>> [music]
42:47>> Amen.
