My leaders, my leaders, my leaders. Hey yo, this morning. Oh man. This morning, this week, this week, it's going to be a phenomenal week for many of you. And what God showed me this morning was the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. And as I'm running this morning, I ain't feel like getting up to run. I'll be honest with you. I'll be honest with you. But I'm realizing more and more and more and more. There's going to be seasons. I'm talking to you. I'm literally talking to you. There's going to be seasons where you take a hit. There's going to be seasons where you take a blow.
There's going to be days where your flesh is weak. There's going to be days where you win a battle battle and when you lose the battle. But what I I don't want us to give up on the war. I need you to keep pressing forward because when you press forward, somebody else is going to press forward. When you press forward and you stand on your principles and you stand on the vision that God gave you, when you stand firm, somebody else going to stand firm cuz you standing firm. It ain't that you cocky. It ain't that you ain't going through a war.
It ain't that you ain't going through a battle yourself. You're going through a battle just like everybody else. But you choosing to stand firm cuz check this out. Ain't nothing better that we can do right now. Ain't nothing better than me for me to do but to keep pressing forward towards the mark that Jesus Christ has set for me. Ain't nothing going to happen if I stop and I lay dead and I play dead right now. The enemy going to stomp on me. He going to trample me. That lion that comes around roaring about to eat me up.
I'm not willing to give up what God has told me to do because I got areas that are weak right now. I'm not willing to shut my mouth and stop the vision and stop the serving and stop the helping because some days I feel weak and incapable of doing it. So nowadays I'm saying God not in my strength but in your strength. Not in my flesh, not in my own power but in your spirit. So my leaders, I don't know if you've been hit, but I know there's many leaders that's being hit. They being hit. They've been devoured. I got people in my own family being devoured by things.
Stuff keep happening over and over and over and over again. But we got to keep pressing forward. my leaders. Hallelujah. And I told myself, I'm not going to allow few months back once again, I lost my third daughter. I'm going to keep I'm going to keep just sharing this testimonial because the joy of the Lord shouldn't be my strength right now. The joy of the Lord from losing a third child shouldn't be my strength. Happiness shouldn't be my strength. The ability to move forward, press forward, and encourage others, it shouldn't be my strength. But you know what it is? It keeps me empowered.
It lets me know that no matter what hits, I don't care if the worst hits, I'm going to keep pressing forward. And not only for myself. No, no, no. I can't do this for myself. I press forward cuz I got a wife I got to encourage. I press forward cuz I got a family I got to encourage. I press forward cuz I got clients I got to press forward with. I press forward cuz I got a community like you all who are watching this video who made it this far into the video watching. And y'all getting something from this regardless if somebody comments on a video or likes it.
Y'all are getting something from this. And I got to press forward so that somebody today on this Monday today as you're watching this video, press forward. And I just want to say keep pressing, keep pushing, keep going, keep running, pick up, repent. Just repent right now. God forgives you. He He forgives you. He forgives you. If nobody else forgives you, God forgives you and he loves you right now. But he needs you right now to pick up your mat and he needs you to go walk. He needs you to go run. He needs you to go build. He needs you to go create money to go get it.
I love you.
