Thank you very much. Well, if you're glad you're saved this morning, shout a big amen. Amen. I want to thank the church and echo what so many have said already. The cards that have come in, they said, our financial secretary said, I don't know what you've got coming in, but you've got some kind of gifts. I got no. I said, no, there's people praying right now. Before any move of God, prayer always precedes any move of God. And we're thankful to be here. Thank you, church, for the hospitality. Thank you for the room. And thank you, Pastor Mike, for the invitation to come back. And I tell you, I've... I had a short week this week in preparing to come here, and the Lord felt like giving me a message early, late Monday night, early Tuesday morning. And we began to brew on that, and then He changed that yesterday. And so, I don't know who was assigned to me, but you must have been really praying. I got here yesterday and I got in the room as early as I could get in there because I told the Lord I want to try to preach what I want to preach and the Lord kept bringing me back to this and so I believe this morning that God would have a word for us here today. If you have your Bibles, turn with me if you would to the book of Genesis chapter number 32. Genesis chapter 32, a very familiar text this morning. So many tremendous Messages that we've heard go forth from this pulpit. Brother Wes, I'm trying to talk him into giving me those notes. Tremendous word, brother. Spoke to my heart. Appreciate the men of God here. Good to have a dear friend of mine, Pastor Clark Snow, a friend to many of you. Great to have him here today. Pastor Brother Jason, good to see you. Love you, man. Genesis chapter 32, when you get there, I'm gonna be down in verse number 24. If you found your place this morning, would you shout a big amen? Amen. The Bible says, and Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh. And the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him. And he said, let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. He said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob. Verse number 28, and he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel. For as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Jacob asked him and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for I have seen God face to face. My life is preserved. He passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. Therefore the children of Israel eaten out of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh unto this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank. I want to take my thought out of verse 30 this morning and preach on this thought today, Camp Peniel. Let's pray. Father, we love you today. We thank you, Lord, for your presence that we've already felt here in this place. We thank you for the word that has gone forth from this pulpit. But God, this is a new service, and God, a new time, and I pray that you would just anoint us afresh and anew. God, we know that we are nothing. And God, apart from you, we can do nothing. So I pray that you would take these remaining moments and energize us by your Spirit, and speak to our hearts, we pray, for it's in Jesus' name. And all God's people together said, Amen. Give you a little background in Genesis chapter 32. Before we get to Genesis 32, you know the story of Jacob's life. At the beginning of Jacob's life, he was a trickster. Coming out of the womb, he grabbed the heel of his twin brother, Esau, trying to get an advantage over him. Esau was a man of the fields. Esau and Jacob had very different personalities. And Esau was a man of the fields. He was rugged. He was an outdoorsman. He was a hunter. And Jacob was more of a mama's boy. Jacob was working in the house, in the kitchen, watching Food Network. Amen. One day, Jacob convinced his brother to sell his birthright for a little food. The food satisfied Esau for a little bit of time. But as he sold his birthright for a little food, he got a little satisfaction. But the birthright was something that would secure him for the future. You see, in Bible days, the birthright meant something. It was significant. The birthright was His inheritance. It was everything that He was due as the firstborn. Everything that He was due as the firstborn, it was rightfully His, and He traded it for something in the present. As a child of God, there is a lot of things that God has secured for us in the future, but some of those things are conditional to our obedience to Him now. Listen, but if you're not careful this morning, the enemy will come and will serve you something on a silver platter that looks good now. And sometimes, I see it so many times in the church world today, we'll trade out what we want most for what we want right now, and it looks good right now, and it looks good now, and so we'll trade out. the eternal for the temporary. And this isn't the message this morning, but I just want to say this today. Don't sell out today for temporary pleasures. Don't sell out. It was later on in Jacob's life that the scheming of Jacob just continued on in his life. There was one day that Isaac was laying at the point of death, and as Isaac laid at the point of death, Rebekah hears a conversation taking place. Brother Bruce, she hears a conversation taking place, and she hears Isaac calling their oldest son Esau, and she hears him tell her oldest boy, I want to bless you boy, but I want you to go out and take your quiver and take your bow and bring me some venison, bring me some savory meat from the field. As Rebecca hears those words leave Isaac's mouth, she begins to plot and she begins to scheme with Jacob. And she goes in and she says, go out into the field and bring me two kid and I'm gonna prepare a meal, I'm gonna prepare a meal, and you're gonna take it in to your daddy. And so that's exactly what she does. She goes into the place, she prepares the meat, she takes the skin of an animal and laces it on Jacob's hand, because he's a mama's boy. His hands are manicured. Esau was a hairy man, and she began to feel on his hands, his daddy could feel what would feel like Esau. And so she begins to doctor him up and she fixes that meal for Isaac and sends Jacob in to where Isaac is laying on his deathbed. And Jacob goes in there and he begins to talk to his daddy. And he goes into his father where he's lying. And he lies about who he is. And Isaac is laying there and he can't see. The Bible says very well. And he hears a voice that sounds like Jacob, but he feels an arm that feels like Esau, and yet the Bible says he is deceived. And he blesses Jacob with a blessing that is rightfully Esau's. When Esau comes in later, he discovers his blessing is already gone. Esau is hot. Somebody say amen. Esau is hot. He's upset. He's filled with bitterness. He's going to kill his brother, but out of respect for his father, he's gonna wait until his father dies, and Rebekah knows it's coming. She knows that vengeance is boiling in Esau's blood, and she sends Jacob away to her family. Jacob goes one way, and Esau, And goes another. On Jacob's journey, he comes to a place called Bethel, the house of God. And Jacob has an encounter with God. And a man on the run gets a word and a message from God that I've got a plan for you. I've got a plan for your life. I'm going to take you somewhere and I'm going to lead you all the way because I am a God that keeps my word. From Bethel. He goes to a place called Padana Ram and there meets a beautiful girl by the name of Rachel, hubba hubba. It was love at first sight. Fast forward, sir, can I marry your daughter? Absolutely, if you work seven years. The Bible says that seven years felt like nothing to Jacob. Why? Because he was in love. Hey, listen to me. If you're at the place in your life where what once was an opportunity is now an obligation, what once is a blessing is now a burden, you might should check your love level. Jacob got to the place He worked for Rachel and it felt like nothing. Jacob has a wedding. He wakes up and finds out that it wasn't Rachel that he married. It was her sister. Eventually, the deceiver got deceived. Eventually, Jacob gets Rachel, but he has to work another seven years for her daddy. Hear me now, there's a pattern that takes place in Jacob's life. There's a pattern that takes place in your life, and God knows the pattern. Jacob was a deceiver. Jacob was a schemer. As Jacob was working for Laban, he begins to trick his father-in-law. He worked with the livestock, and he was tricking his father-in-law into believing that he was getting the good animals, and he was making Laban think he was getting the best, but in reality, it was Jacob that was getting the best, and Jacob was getting the good animals, and Laban was getting the bad animals. It wasn't until Jacob and Rachel and their family began to leave that Laban discovers, I've been gotten. I've been gotten. By the time we come to our text in Genesis 32, Jacob and Laban, they have worked out their differences. Jacob parts ways, and it seems that if the long estranged brothers are going to meet again when we come to Genesis 32, after all the years of bitterness, After the memory of the stolen blessing, after the memory of the tricked birthright, after all these years that have kindled inside of Esau, Jacob is nervous. And so he starts doing what you do whenever you're getting ready to meet somebody that you've not talked to in a long time, that you know you've had a problem with in the past. He starts gathering together something to send ahead of him. So he gathers some animals and he sends ahead the way as a peace offering for his brothers. Let's just say that Esau was not so enamored with Jacob's gifts. In fact, he and his men, they are coming after Jacob. That is the backdrop of our text in Genesis 32. Jacob is terrified, and as he comes to this place in Genesis 32, Jacob parts ways with his family, and he goes to start crossing a piece of the land. And as he crosses the land, the Bible says that he finds himself at a place called Peniel. And Jacob encounters somebody there at Pineal like he's never encountered before. Because before, anybody Jacob had dealings with, Jacob always had the upper hand. Before anybody that Jacob ever dealt with, Jacob had a way of talking his way out of it. Jacob had a way of scheming his way out of it. Jacob had a way of manipulating a situation where he came out on the top side. But it was here at Pineal that Jacob meets somebody like he's never encountered before. And at Peniel the Bible says that Jacob comes face to face with God. It's almost as if Jacob realized that somebody that can see through me is standing right in front of me. Somebody that I cannot fool is standing in front of me. And after Jacob left Peniel, he'd be different. After he has an encounter with God, Jacob would be changed. And I'm telling you today, in our world today, in the church world today, we concentrate in our society and in our culture more on powerful image than we do on personal integrity. And listen, you can look and see it on social media and the facades that are on social media. And our culture today says sell yourself. Our culture today says position yourself. Our culture today says to advertise yourself. But can I just say today that sometimes the crowd is clapping and God has His arms crossed. Sometimes the church is saying amen, and God is saying, oh me. Sometimes, hey listen, because we get so caught up in a facade, a powerful image, more than we do about our personal integrity. Integrity still matters in 2023. God looks beyond The outside. Here Jacob comes face to face with God at Peniel. And God looks beyond the outside to the inside. And He knows whether you're real. He knows whether you're right. He knows whether you're genuine. He knows whether you're sincere. Whether you're authentic. And sometimes the only place to get there is at Peniel face to face with God. We want revival. We need revival. Brother Michael, we started that revival. I'll take that back. Let me rewind. God started that revival. It wasn't something on the calendar. It wasn't something that we had planned. But God began to brand this on my heart. If we're going to have a revival, there needs to be an awakening. You're hearing about pockets of revival taking place around different places in our nation today. Why is it? It's not because there's a big-name singer. It's not because there's a big-name preacher. It's because people are getting real with God and they start tearing away the facades and they start tearing away the image of what they think that somebody oughta. Hey listen I can put it all I want to on social media. I can make it look pretty to everybody else but listen the truth is God sees beyond our facades hey listen why is revival taking place because there's some people that are coming to pineal and getting real with God and getting real with the one that knows everything about them revival is an awakening can I say this to this morning church we need to pack our suitcases and take a trip to pineal today hear me now so we can find out who we really are so we can find out who we really are. Listen, as we pack our bags to head to Peniel, let me tell you what to leave out today. You can leave out your title at church. You can leave out your position on your job. You can leave out your tenure at church. You can leave out your reputation. You can leave off your skills, your bank account, your car, your home. Leave it all behind. Hear me now, because God's not impressed with it. We've got to get to the place where we'll take ourselves to Peniel, just you, and find out how we fare face-to-face with God. Camp Peniel. At Peniel, number one, if you're a note-taker, write this down, Jacob's condition is seen. At Peniel, Jacob's condition is seen in Genesis 32, in verse number 11. Jacob begins to pray to God, and in verse 11 he says, Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me and the mother with the children. Why is Jacob afraid? Because if it pineal, God doesn't do something. Jacob is going to die. If it pineal, God does not move on his behalf. Jacob is going to die. is going to die. Listen, it's high time in the church for Christians who have gotten apathetic, who have grown constant and confident in their surroundings to get desperate with God and realize that if He doesn't do something in me, listen, I cannot stay this way. I don't have time to stay this way. And if God doesn't do something in me, if God doesn't do something in my life, then I'm dependent upon it. I need him to do it. And if God doesn't do something, I don't know what's gonna happen because I can't stay this way. Fast forward to verse number 24. Jacob was afraid. Jacob was also alone. The Bible says, and Jacob was alone. Listen, you can go shopping, ladies, with friends, but when you go to Pineal, you gotta go alone. Men, you can go golfing, you can go hunting, you can go fishing with friends, but at Pineal, you've got to go alone. alone, by yourself. Jacob, he was alone, out of his comfort zone, and when God moves you out of your comfort zone, it is for you to rely on Him. We get so, we're so enamored with comfort today, we build our lives around comfort, and sometimes we cannot even move into the area and the realm that God wants to take us spiritually because we've got so used to coming in and just going through the motions and we're comfortable where we are. We're comfortable in church. We're comfortable with our... Hey listen, I don't want to get comfortable. I want God to move me beyond my comfort zone into a place where I... Hey listen, where there's something inside of me that's troubled, where I say, I can't depend on me brother Mike. I can't depend on anything else. I've got to rely on Him. And when God moves you out of a place where you're comfortable, it's to get you to a place where you fully rely on Him. Jacob's condition is seen, he's alone, he's afraid at Peniel. Secondly, I want you to see his conflict. And there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Look at verse number 25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched, the hollow of his thigh. What was the conflict? There was a wrestling match. There was a fight. And we see that Jacob is wrestling with God. You might ask the question this morning, why was there a fight here? Hear me now. Because God is holy. Thank you for those two amens and a grunt. Because God is holy. I don't care how Hollywood tries to portray Him. I don't care how the world tries to paint Him or how they try to equate with Him in some other fashion. You better stamp it on your heart and know it, that there will never be a time in society where God ceases to be holy. Holy. He's altogether pure. He's altogether righteous. He's altogether true. And there is a fight because He's holy and we're not. At Peniel, we've got to realize the holiness of God. And at Peniel, Jacob came to the realization that it doesn't matter how good I can scheme. It doesn't matter how good I can deceive. It doesn't matter how I can work things out for my benefit because God knows everything about me. And at Peniel, there's a fight because God is holy and Jacob is not. We're not and he is. We fight God today. We fight God today. Verse number 25, when he saw that he prevailed not against him. The Bible says that God saw he prevailed not against him. What did God see? Jacob wasn't giving up. Jacob was not giving up, and as we see this scene unfold, you know, we have a tendency to point our pharisaical finger that's very condescending at Jacob and say, tap out, Jacob. Why don't you tap out? Why don't you give in? Why don't you give up? Don't you know that you're not going to win? Do you think that you're going to defeat God? What are you doing bucking up against God? Before we point our finger at Jacob, let me say to us this morning that we fight God. We thank God about our music. We fight God about our minds. We fight God about our money, our time, our talent, about coming to church. We fight God about doing right. We fight God about wrong relationships and wrong friendships. We fight God about reading the Word. We fight God about praying. We might not be Jacob and fighting God in the middle of a field somewhere, but if God says one thing and we are doing another, it is a fight. It's a fight. and Jacob wanted to fight with God, God broke his will. Isn't it something that all the fighting that Jacob was doing, and it just took one touch, just one touch for God to get his attention. Jacob left Peniel, and he left there with something a little different. The Bible says in Hebrews 11.30, at the end of Jacob's life, he leaned on his staff and he worshipped. Listen, some of you ought to shout and give God glory in this house today because there was a time in your life when there was a conflict and there was a fight and a battle and God gave you a little And you can remember back to pineal. You can remember back to a time whenever you were fighting against God. But hey, listen, so many times we equate worship in our life with our leap. Listen to me. Worship in our life is more equated with our limp than it ever is our leap. So listen, you ought to just take your time, clear off a spot and get God praise that it just took a touch from him to change things in your life. touched his thigh and it was for his good because God was wanting to teach Jacob to rely on him. Could it be today that God's wanting to break somebody? Could it be today that God is wanting to take you to a place and stand face to face with you and put his finger on an area of our life that we don't want his finger but he's trying to break us? We see his condition, we see his conflict. Number three, there was a cry. Verse number 26, he said, let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Here is his response to God. God says, let me go. Jacob says, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. I don't know about you, but listen, whenever you get in a fight with somebody as powerful as God is, and Jacob's holding on with every fiber of his being, and every part of Jacob's being, it's desperate. I'm telling you, we cannot miss the desperation. We cannot miss the determination that is in Jacob here. He says, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. God, I can't let you go. God, you can't leave me in this place the same way that you found me. Because deep down, you know it, Jacob knew it, that there were some things in his life that he knew he was gonna have to face in his life. And Jacob says, you can't leave me in this place the same way that you found me. You can't leave me here without changing me. Because God, I'm messed up. God, I'm in need of help. I am desperate. Let me ask you a question, church. How long has it been since you've been desperate with God? We can nod our heads and say amen. But I'm telling you about pure desperation. How long has it been in your life since you've been desperate with God and begged God to do something in you How many times have you gotten his presence and said, God, I need you to do something in my life and I'm not leaving here until thou bless me. Jacob, he was direct. I need you to bless me because there is something that you have that nobody else can give me. God, somebody else can't do it. I can't find it somewhere else. I can't find it in mainstream news station. I can't find it in a relationship. I can't find it in a, in a bottle. I can't find it in a drug. God, there's not anything that I can do. I've tried relationship after relationship after relationship, and God, there is just nothing that satisfies. There is nothing that fills. God, I need you to do something in me, because you can do something in me that I can't get anywhere else. I'm not letting you go. I accept you, bless me. How long's it been, child of God, since you've cleared you off a spot to pray and stayed there until you got through? We talked, sis, you said it just a moment ago, right back there, you said it a moment ago, there was revival that took place at home. We want revival to come, that's where it's gotta start. We want revival, it's gotta start with me. And listen, it's not dependent on somebody, it starts with me. Whenever I go to pineal and say, God, I'm not trying to drag, I'm not trying to drag all of my accomplishments with me. I'm not trying to plead anything else, because you know all about me. God, I just need you, and I'm desperate for you. We need a church that's desperate once again. for a move of God. I'm not letting go, except thou bless me. We see us cry, and lastly, and I'll be done. Number four, you can write this down. Last thing we see in this text is the change. I know we come to church, but here let me ask you a question. Do we get changed? I know we come to church, but do we get changed? Because listen, every time that we gather in the house of God, I believe that we as children of God should say, God, do something in me today. Do something eternal in me, because if we're all honest, the thing is, we like to have our facades. And we like to hide behind them. And we like to get behind the masks and say, hey, I've got it all figured out. I'm good. But the truth of the matter is we need God to do some changing in our lives. I know we come to church, but do we get changed? I didn't say get emotional. Hear me. Lost people get emotional. They get emotional at a basketball game. I've seen people get emotional at funerals. The problem is that they die off and they change emotions. They die off and they change. You ever get up in the morning and don't feel like going to work, but you get up and go anyway because you know you gotta get a paycheck? Hey, listen to me. We can't live life by what we feel. We gotta live life by what we know. Feelings change and feelings come and go. And here is Jacob fighting with God and he has got to have change. Look at verse 27. He said unto him, What is thy name? Talk about an easy qualification. God, I'm not letting you go. Until you bless me. Well, tell me. What's your name? Wait a minute. There's more to this question than just an answer off the top of your head. Because as long as Jacob had lived, he had been lying about his name. As long as he had been living in Britain, he'd been lying about his name. He didn't want to tell his name to his daddy. He didn't want to tell his name to his brother. He didn't want to tell his name to his father-in-law. And he got away with lying to all of them. Brother Mike, it's almost like the connotation and the context of the Scripture, and I know it doesn't say it, but I don't think it's taken anything away from it. It's almost like the connotation in the context of scripture is God saying to Jacob, as he asked the question, what is your name? And by the way, don't try lying to me and fooling me like you did your daddy. Don't try fooling me and scheming me like you did your mother. Don't try fooling me like you did your brother. And don't try to cheat me out of something like you did Laban. Jacob, my name's not Laban. My name's not Isaac. My name's not Rebecca. My name is God. What is your name? What is your name? Because you could be a man in this church today But at Peniel, your name might be Pornographic Watcher. Statistics are right. Somebody in here is dealing with it. You might be a lady here today. But at Peniel, your name might be Cantankerous, Unsubmissive Gossip. At Peniel, your name might be God Robber. What's that? People that get paid, they don't tithe. At pineal, it could be liar. Hear me now, fooling us won't fool him. At pineal, you could be a single adult, but your name might be fornicator. It could be addict. It could be alcoholic. It could be cheater, a hater, grudge holder, bitter. Pastor, you gonna name them all today? No, I don't have to. Because the Holy Ghost of God will fill in your blank. Listen, He has a way of speaking to us in language that we can understand. And hear me now, and hear me well. Lean in here today. We have a way of avoiding it and exiting pineal. We want to have a move of God, we've got to stay on. We want to have a move of God, we've got to stay on. We've got to go to pineal. Hey, listen to me, church. We've got to get back to pineal. where we come face to face with God. Too often times we try to pull the duck head. What's a duck head? I'll deal with that later. We like to exit when God wants to get real. You want me to bless you? Jacob, what is your name? We've got to admit our name. Hear me, you can be a good breadwinner on paper, but your name might be a sorry father and a husband. God's gotta help us change. Listen to me this morning, change starts with the truth. And for the first time in his life, what is your name? It's Jacob. It means liar. It means cheater, surplanner, and pretender. That's my name, God. That's who I am. But after the truth... God comes back with the response, thy name shall be no more called Jacob, but Israel. Hey listen, there was a change that took place. Can I tell you today that on the heels of truth in the presence of God always comes transformation. You didn't hear it, let me say it again. On the heels of truth in the presence of God always comes transformation. And let me tell you today, there is a such thing in our culture, in this society, as absolute truth. Truth, the Bible says, shall make you free. We live in a culture today, we live in a day and an hour today, that claims relative truth. In other words, what's true for you may not be true for me. We're living in a day and we're living in an hour where everything is subject to redefinition. They try to redefine the principles in the Word of God. They try to redefine marriage. They try to redefine the way that God created things. Listen, why is all that taking place? I'm telling you, if the devil can get you to doubt in the beginning God created in the heavens and the earth, hey listen, he can get you to doubt Revelation 21. Hey listen, where he says he's coming back for his church. There is a such thing in our day and in our hour as absolute truth. Culture resists truth. They say, well, it might be true for him, but that's not true for me. And I want to tell you today, after the truth, on the heels of it, always comes transformation. What's your name? My name is Jacob. Jacob, it just so happens that I'm in the name-changing business because after you leave here, your name is going to be Israel. There, God gave him a testimony. See, halted on his thigh. The piano player will begin to come. I'm almost done. Jacob halted on his thigh, and the limp served as a reminder that he fought with God. How many of you are here today, and be honest, there's been times in my life where I've fought with God. There's been times that I've fought with God. Hey, listen, but you're still living. You're still living. God gave Jacob a testimony, and the limp served as a reminder, sometimes, Our limp is frustrating, Brother Mike. Sometimes, why do I gotta deal with this stinking thing? Why do I gotta deal with this limp? I don't wanna deal with this anymore. I wanna deal with the scars. I don't wanna deal with the pain. Hear me now. The Bible were, hey listen, God worked it out for Jacob's good, and the limp served. As a reminder, can I remind you that the Bible still says that God works all things together for your good? To those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose, hear me now, I didn't say that what you went through was good, but God has a way of working all things together for your good. For your good. Jacob at Peniel, Brother Bruce, he left changed. He left changed. I think sometimes in the church that we treat God's presence like it's a cruise. Can I order room service to my room? Can I have a genie in a bottle? Listen to me, God's not some spiritual Santa Claus. God's not some, hey, yes, he loves his children, but sometimes we treat God like a spiritual Santa Claus. Well, here's my wish list, God. We treat it like it's, well, just tailored, and oh, it's, God's present, oh, it's like a cruise, I can get room service, listen to me. We're going to Peniel today, church, and we're not there to get a getaway from life. We're there to have a get-up-close with God. We're there to have a get-up-close with God. Will you go to Peniel today? I don't care what your title is, what your tenure is. Will you go to Peniel today? Face-to-face with God and say, God, I need you to change some things in me. God, I need to get up close with you in my life. Here's the good news. At Pineal, God's there. And you'll never be the same. There were some things that took place in the revival that God ordained in our church. told Brother Jason last night wasn't something we had planned for. The fact that I was planning the next week of taking my family on a little trip on spring break. We're gonna have to catch the trip another time. It didn't happen. Went into spring break. You preach, you know. And there were some things that God did because some people decided to go to Peniel. They said, it's time for me to get face-to-face with God. Because whenever you get face-to-face with God, I believe, Brother Jason, that there's some things, you talked about a hunger. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. I'm telling you, whenever you gain an appetite for the things of God, He'll expand your appetite. Hey, whenever you begin to taste of the things of God, He'll expand that appetite. And I believe that God did some appetite expanding and people tasted of the things of God. And listen, whenever you've tasted of it once, you wanna get back there and get more of it. Listen, why did that happen? Because some people decided it's time for us to take a trip to Peniel. Bow your heads and close your eyes and no one looking on. Father, I thank you for your word today. Thank you for the message that's gone forth. God, we've done our best. God, just to give what you put on our heart today. God, I pray that you'd help people to be honest with you today. God, in these remaining moments, pray that this would be a time when we would get real with you. Heads bowed and eyes closed. No one looking on.
