00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:06.923
When you serve, and when you honor and serve in God and keep him first, you never lose.
00:00:06.923 --> 00:00:13.125
Welcome back to Experiencing Amazing Transformation Podcast.
00:00:13.125 --> 00:01:04.792
I'm your host, kim, and today we have the honor oh my gosh, to celebrate a giant in faith, an amazing pillar in our community.
00:01:04.792 --> 00:01:10.356
God's gift to earth, bishop Paul C Wright.
00:01:10.356 --> 00:01:20.293
Welcome, welcome, welcome, thank you, thank you, god bless you, god bless you.
00:01:20.293 --> 00:01:42.412
So we are here just honoring your leadership, your love, the passion that you have for God's people, and we just, you're just honored that you allowed us to interview you and just talk to you and just let others know more about this, this wonderful man, god.
00:01:42.412 --> 00:02:14.045
It's quite a blessing how safe this way to be, because God is the one that you know sends his approval upon whatever we do when we're serving him, and but it it doesn't stop with the person or persons that's giving it.
00:02:14.045 --> 00:02:15.959
That's what you call an overflow.
00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:25.545
In other words, he, the God, feeds you and we are his workers, vineyard workers.
00:02:25.545 --> 00:02:41.771
We might not all be doing the same thing, but we're working in his vineyard and see, and Paul said it this way, Paul said some planted, some watered.
00:02:41.771 --> 00:02:50.324
That's what we're doing, and when we do that, we don't have to worry about the increase, because he's never failed.
00:02:50.324 --> 00:02:51.789
Oh, that's good.
00:02:51.789 --> 00:02:53.586
He never fails, see.
00:02:53.586 --> 00:03:04.346
So, in other words, when you're serving, when you're honoring and serving God and keep him first, you never lose.
00:03:04.346 --> 00:03:08.770
He's not a loser, he's a winner.
00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:17.270
And when you please, well, that says it's where you want to look at total life.
00:03:17.270 --> 00:03:27.092
You've been pleasing him because he is the creator and he's the maker of everything.
00:03:27.092 --> 00:03:31.747
So if he created it and make it, that means he's the owner.
00:03:31.747 --> 00:03:41.393
He's knocks at the door and steal nothing in the way he states it in his word.
00:03:41.393 --> 00:03:45.512
He said if any man, he didn't say Bob soon, sally, whatever, didn't have man.
00:03:45.512 --> 00:03:47.842
He didn't say Bob Sue, sally, whatever, he didn't have to.
00:03:47.842 --> 00:03:51.292
But he's talking to Bob Sue, charlie, sally, whoever.
00:03:51.292 --> 00:03:57.606
When he said if any, it doesn't matter what your name is, it doesn't matter where you live.
00:03:57.606 --> 00:04:02.748
He said if any man, if you answer that knock.
00:04:02.748 --> 00:04:04.733
He said you'll come in.
00:04:04.733 --> 00:04:08.542
Who in the world is it?
00:04:08.542 --> 00:04:09.924
They don't know.
00:04:09.924 --> 00:04:14.050
God to come into your see.
00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:21.125
If you see a few tears running, that's just a joy, that's alright.
00:04:21.125 --> 00:04:22.848
That's alright, alright To joy.
00:04:22.848 --> 00:04:24.711
The Lord, that's joy, that's what that is.
00:04:24.711 --> 00:04:35.235
See, his presence, just, just just His presence changes the whole atmosphere.
00:04:35.235 --> 00:04:50.872
I hear people and I don't criticize, but I hear people you know, make mention of different times when things is going on and said we had a time and I tell you, the Lord showed up and he showed that you don't have to show us.
00:04:50.872 --> 00:05:03.629
When the Lord show up, he is the show, the you see a little good, but just him showing up changes the whole atmosphere.
00:05:03.629 --> 00:05:19.930
See, that's what he does for us and there's no limit to what you can do, because he said all A-L-L, that's all.
00:05:21.473 --> 00:05:31.791
If you got a vessel of any kind and you put any kind of anything in it, any fluid in it or whatever, be water or whatever, bring it here.
00:05:31.791 --> 00:05:32.593
I want it dry.
00:05:32.593 --> 00:05:34.536
Okay, here we go.
00:05:34.536 --> 00:05:47.365
If it's got to drop in there, it ain't dry, right, well, it ain't empty, see, it ain't empty, see, so he's complete.
00:05:47.365 --> 00:05:54.399
There is no short, nothing short when it comes to God.
00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:02.170
He full, full, feels full, feels that full means all the way at the top.
00:06:02.170 --> 00:06:05.134
Yeah, full of meat.
00:06:05.134 --> 00:06:10.266
Yes, that's good to me, I'll take it.
00:06:10.266 --> 00:06:13.733
Yeah, and see, this is where the joy comes.
00:06:13.733 --> 00:06:22.754
Yes, and because of that move, see, god speaks to the spirit.
00:06:22.754 --> 00:06:26.341
That's the, your inner heart.
00:06:26.341 --> 00:06:32.646
It's not the text, you know, tickles, or how you want to say it.
00:06:32.646 --> 00:06:44.896
You have to heart beat, but it's the most important part of the person, because he speaks to your mind, your conscience and your entire system.
00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:57.305
When he speak, his word is so powerful that it doesn't matter what part of your body is hurting your knee might be hurting, but maybe your head.
00:06:57.305 --> 00:07:06.225
But he can take care of this and he already knows and he's just waiting for me to ask that's it.
00:07:06.225 --> 00:07:17.875
And when it comes to paying, I don't care what the problem is, he got it.
00:07:17.875 --> 00:07:23.307
It doesn't matter what he got, he's got it.
00:07:23.307 --> 00:07:25.451
And see, all that he wants.
00:07:25.451 --> 00:07:34.668
The first thing and the main thing that he honors is when we take part.
00:07:34.668 --> 00:07:37.834
See, we don't have no time he gives it to us.
00:07:37.834 --> 00:07:40.442
We don't have no time.
00:07:40.442 --> 00:07:41.384
I don't know no time.
00:07:41.384 --> 00:07:43.170
You don't know no time he gives it to us.
00:07:43.170 --> 00:07:49.872
I don't know no time, you don't know no time he gives it to us.
00:07:49.872 --> 00:08:02.418
And if he, if he want to extend, I was in a citywide revival one time and one of the preachers that was doing it was out there and said Reverend Wright, you think you're gonna live?
00:08:07.041 --> 00:08:09.783
No, he said, you think God won't let you live to be a hundred?
00:08:09.783 --> 00:08:16.067
I said no, okay, look at the course you're in.
00:08:16.067 --> 00:08:22.247
He said do I think the Lord will let me?
00:08:22.247 --> 00:08:22.810
No, I don't.
00:08:22.810 --> 00:08:24.964
I'm in, okay, I'm on my table.
00:08:24.964 --> 00:08:25.149
I'm going.
00:08:25.149 --> 00:08:25.379
No, no, I don't.
00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:27.031
Okay, I'm going to tell you where I'm going.
00:08:27.031 --> 00:08:29.500
No, I still don't.
00:08:29.761 --> 00:08:39.730
I'm answering the question the way it was asked and being truthful with the answer to the question yeah, do you think God won't let you live?
00:08:39.730 --> 00:08:45.105
To be a no, okay, what is the answer to me?
00:08:45.105 --> 00:08:53.765
In the reason I say no, yes, if I say yeah, I'm saying something I don't even know.
00:08:53.765 --> 00:08:55.049
I might not live to tomorrow.
00:08:55.049 --> 00:08:57.267
God was not a hundred.
00:08:57.267 --> 00:08:59.293
God might want to keep me 115.
00:09:00.197 --> 00:09:04.246
You see whether it's a my answer to him would know which is a true answer.
00:09:04.246 --> 00:09:08.543
So, oh, god knows the truth and that's what I told him.
00:09:08.543 --> 00:09:12.011
That's good to me, that's good.
00:09:12.011 --> 00:09:14.547
See, that's what I tell him.
00:09:14.547 --> 00:09:17.644
Yes, and see the point of it.
00:09:17.644 --> 00:09:26.062
You can't hide nothing from him and we don't have to even open your mouth.
00:09:26.062 --> 00:09:27.543
He knows what you're thinking.
00:09:27.543 --> 00:09:33.808
He knows what you're feeling, because he made you.
00:09:33.808 --> 00:09:34.448
He made you.
00:09:34.448 --> 00:09:37.351
Shouldn't he know all about you?
00:09:37.351 --> 00:09:38.172
He's total.
00:09:38.172 --> 00:09:40.173
There's nothing missing.
00:09:40.173 --> 00:09:50.586
He's total, he's complete.
00:09:50.586 --> 00:10:00.602
And do I, as far as time goes, even in the 121st number of Psalms, it tells us he never slumbered.
00:10:00.602 --> 00:10:11.110
See, he sleeps with me every night, every night, and that's the only way I woke up when she came in there with his divine touch.
00:10:11.312 --> 00:10:15.145
Yes, okay, the people in China, the reason they woke up.
00:10:15.145 --> 00:10:17.470
The same one on the head.
00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:19.393
He's everywhere, yes, omnipresent.
00:10:19.393 --> 00:10:24.000
The same one that woke me, yes, woke me and woke you.
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.846
Yes, sir, see, woke me and woke you.
00:10:26.846 --> 00:10:28.789
He already know your name, he know where you live.
00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:29.591
He ain't got that.
00:10:29.591 --> 00:10:30.192
By what number?
00:10:30.192 --> 00:10:38.532
He already got the numbers that he know.
00:10:38.532 --> 00:10:40.195
And he's the only one.
00:10:40.195 --> 00:10:41.918
See, he's a nip Rensselaer.
00:10:41.918 --> 00:10:45.933
That means he's present everywhere.
00:10:45.933 --> 00:10:49.769
Somebody need him.
00:10:49.830 --> 00:10:53.604
In Germany, you pray, you ain't got to wait until you get the God.
00:10:53.604 --> 00:10:59.230
That's already there, he's already there and you don't have to shorten.
00:10:59.230 --> 00:11:01.153
In other words, he's never too busy.
00:11:01.153 --> 00:11:07.418
He's never too busy Because, while he's taking care of the thing in Germany, somebody might call him in Spain when he's there.
00:11:07.418 --> 00:11:17.765
Also, because he's the only one that don't have to leave one place to get the word, for he's already there and he's up.
00:11:17.765 --> 00:11:23.557
See, take your time, take your time.
00:11:23.557 --> 00:11:27.630
We are here for it and it's good to us.
00:11:30.785 --> 00:11:40.489
You see, my daughter and I, she is so sweet, punky when I'm, a lot of times at the church where I'm passing, I make mention.
00:11:40.489 --> 00:11:45.164
I say to everybody needle punky, everybody.
00:11:45.164 --> 00:11:45.908
I agree with that.
00:11:45.908 --> 00:11:52.894
She reminds me of my mom and her mom Really.
00:11:52.894 --> 00:11:57.101
And pumpkin got my mom's voice when she sang.
00:11:57.101 --> 00:12:05.432
You could put them in whatever room, in other words, put them out of your sight and let them sing, you wouldn't know.
00:12:05.432 --> 00:12:13.365
And whoever starts it, if my mom starts a song and Funkin starts singing it, you can't tell the same voice.
00:12:13.365 --> 00:12:15.192
She got my mom's voice.
00:12:15.192 --> 00:12:16.524
That's so good she sure had.
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.403
And God help, I sung my first song in church.
00:12:20.403 --> 00:12:25.369
I sung my first song in church.
00:12:25.369 --> 00:12:30.995
I guess maybe I was six years old, I don't know for sure.
00:12:30.995 --> 00:12:36.046
I was five or six, six at the most.
00:12:36.046 --> 00:12:41.470
I went over six years old when I sang in the name of the song Jesus Care when I'm oppressed.
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:46.173
And back that time you know they didn't have all the music, nothing.
00:12:46.173 --> 00:13:03.504
You know all the musical equipment and so forth, especially drums, and my dad's second oldest sister, she had a sawed-off broom hammer and that's what she used to beat the drum with the time beat.
00:13:03.504 --> 00:13:12.442
And when I would start the song, the Jesus cares when I'm oppressed.
00:13:12.442 --> 00:13:20.342
I know my Jesus, my Jesus cares.
00:13:20.342 --> 00:13:24.774
And then she did that boom boom.
00:13:24.774 --> 00:13:30.580
And that boy boom boom.
00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:36.846
Oh, yes, I know he cares.
00:13:36.846 --> 00:13:41.399
She was the president of the Sunshine Band back then.
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.298
Wow, yeah, this was way back.
00:13:45.773 --> 00:13:52.754
Like I'm saying, this episode is proudly brought to you by our legacy sponsor, victoria Baalke.
00:13:52.754 --> 00:13:55.181
Farm Bureau Insurance Agent.
00:13:55.181 --> 00:14:01.914
That was my first church song, I can tell you that.
00:14:01.914 --> 00:14:02.937
And you were six.
00:14:02.937 --> 00:14:04.793
What you were about?
00:14:04.793 --> 00:14:08.196
Six, yeah, no, I might not be quite.
00:14:08.196 --> 00:14:09.519
But how old is she?
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.173
Four, yeah, six.
00:14:12.173 --> 00:14:20.642
At the most I might not even have been six, wow, so you've been in ministry or you've been in the church since when?
00:14:20.642 --> 00:14:22.302
Always, oh, I got pictures of my mom and dad on my camera.
00:14:22.302 --> 00:14:22.571
Ministry or minute.
00:14:22.571 --> 00:14:26.658
You've been in the church since when, like always, because you might be again I got, I got pictures of my mom and the head on my camera.
00:14:26.658 --> 00:14:30.831
Yeah, yeah, after, um, they did some pictures.
00:14:30.831 --> 00:14:39.456
You know that he took and, and my first wife is over there, and then all the, the whole family, the pumpkin and the rest of sisters and brothers are on there.
00:14:39.456 --> 00:14:41.341
So was your dad a preacher?
00:14:41.341 --> 00:14:43.130
Yeah, he was.
00:14:43.211 --> 00:15:05.945
See, was, I'm gonna tell you I got, I got the, the gifts I guess you could call it the anointing the gifts and things that the lord had given me is from my dad, and on every day there would be somewhere ministering to or praying for people.
00:15:05.945 --> 00:15:20.945
And the same thing the Lord uses me to pray to encourage people, people and I love people.
00:15:20.945 --> 00:15:40.711
I'm out, I don't know, I don't agree, I don't know nobody that I hate, you know, disagree with whatever, disagree with with calling in the key the Lord in disease, and I attended whatever the Lord want to do, but I'm not.
00:15:40.711 --> 00:15:44.522
You know the words, paul, or whatever it says.
00:15:44.522 --> 00:15:57.615
You know that's my name, first name, right, but uh, I'm trying to continue to listen to whatever god give and that's what I have always.
00:15:58.336 --> 00:16:01.623
I was taught that at home did I obey everything that?
00:16:01.623 --> 00:16:04.350
No, I'm being honest, no, but I.
00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:20.035
But see, there's a difference in if I well, let's say this way, I don't know nobody uh, as a child, obeyed everything that they parented, but then that's something that because you didn't obey something, you notice I put the sum in there.
00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:23.140
That don't mean you're rebellious.
00:16:23.140 --> 00:16:25.403
See what I'm saying.
00:16:25.403 --> 00:16:37.692
I do See, when you get to the point of rebellion that becomes a spirit, a part of you, where you start to begin to reject everything, good or bad, what don't matter what.
00:16:37.692 --> 00:16:40.155
I got this, no, you don't have it.
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:45.556
And that makes that's a difference in personality.
00:16:45.556 --> 00:16:48.361
You know it was it?
00:16:48.361 --> 00:16:50.846
Do I know?
00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:52.831
If Solomon stated it?
00:16:52.831 --> 00:16:54.859
We lean up to that.
00:16:54.859 --> 00:16:55.923
I don't understand.
00:16:55.923 --> 00:16:57.929
It ain't about what I think.
00:16:57.929 --> 00:17:00.174
It ain't about you know what we think.
00:17:00.195 --> 00:17:01.798
Said lean not to lie.
00:17:01.798 --> 00:17:02.480
No one understand.
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.363
He said it all.
00:17:03.363 --> 00:17:06.961
And just that example I just showed about the one of the boss.
00:17:06.961 --> 00:17:14.757
Everything we do, we need to check in with him and we don't have to stop.
00:17:14.757 --> 00:17:16.837
You can do that while you're driving down the highway.
00:17:16.837 --> 00:17:22.878
Just keep him in your heart.
00:17:25.284 --> 00:17:28.642
God said David was a man after his own heart.
00:17:28.642 --> 00:17:33.564
Yeah, now some people hide in the world.
00:17:33.564 --> 00:17:35.738
Hide in the world.
00:17:35.738 --> 00:17:36.259
Can you keep?
00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:39.240
God ain't never run, nobody crazy.
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.145
I've heard you ain't no way.
00:17:42.145 --> 00:17:42.407
Nobody crazy.
00:17:42.407 --> 00:17:46.073
I've heard you ain't no way you can keep your mind In the Bible.
00:17:46.073 --> 00:17:47.583
It wouldn't say keep your mind on the Lord.
00:17:47.583 --> 00:17:56.098
I would tell them if you're missing a little bit Of that's because you don't keep your mind On the Lord.
00:17:56.098 --> 00:17:59.500
God ain't ever run, nobody crazy.
00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.498
He is the healer.
00:18:00.498 --> 00:18:01.285
He's the healer.
00:18:01.285 --> 00:18:06.429
He's the one that Restores your thinking.
00:18:06.429 --> 00:18:23.780
You see, solomon Said it this way the beginning of wisdom, the beginning of wisdom, he said, is when you, he said, in other words, you trust God.
00:18:25.265 --> 00:18:27.510
He said to fear what do you do?
00:18:27.510 --> 00:18:30.084
Work for you, but you ain't all my God, go skate.
00:18:30.084 --> 00:18:33.333
And he's talking about honor and trust God.
00:18:33.333 --> 00:18:34.375
No words.
00:18:34.375 --> 00:18:36.857
Listen in in your spirit.
00:18:36.857 --> 00:18:45.511
You know just your heart, you know just your heart, you, you know you, you, you, you name, you know the word, your soul.
00:18:45.511 --> 00:19:02.744
Right, the obedient God will never lead you straight, for the Sun died on the cross, in the in in John 3, 16, which is the theme, the whole theme of the Bible.
00:19:02.744 --> 00:19:17.557
For God so loved the world, he gave his only God's son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
00:19:17.557 --> 00:19:20.175
And it's true.
00:19:20.175 --> 00:19:23.219
Jesus paid the debt.
00:19:23.219 --> 00:19:27.031
Okay, and a lot of people.
00:19:27.112 --> 00:19:31.534
I've been speaking, you know, with some people and I don't.
00:19:31.534 --> 00:19:37.432
You know, we always, let's say it this way none of us know everything.
00:19:37.432 --> 00:20:07.527
We always, you know we are in need to learn, okay, but then what I'm saying to learn is that we remain open and receptive to the word, ready to receive from him, because he, he, he knows everything, he knows everybody, he is everywhere.
00:20:07.527 --> 00:20:18.531
And when I realized that, in other words, what I'm saying is yeah, okay, I know, no, no, no, no, no, take it seriously, no matter where you.
00:20:18.531 --> 00:20:19.053
That's why.
00:20:19.053 --> 00:20:29.757
That's why David said, though I walk through the valley, not sunshine and pools and lakes.
00:20:29.757 --> 00:20:41.973
He said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, my God, I ain't no fear, because I got protection.
00:20:41.973 --> 00:20:45.586
Ain't nobody with God, ain't nobody.
00:20:45.586 --> 00:20:46.970
Ain't no, nothing, ain't nobody.
00:20:47.691 --> 00:20:54.699
Way back, way back, there was a guy and he did record this out.
00:20:54.699 --> 00:21:04.313
I don't think they had the CDs or anything, because it's been way that Leroy Brown, without a recall of him, you know, bad, leroy Brown is what the other one was up there.
00:21:04.313 --> 00:21:06.982
When I'm on the floor teaching, I tell him.
00:21:06.982 --> 00:21:08.730
I make mention of that.
00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:16.270
I said if any of y'all haven't run into Leroy, tell him his little preacher at his little church here.
00:21:16.270 --> 00:21:17.736
Tell him, say, I know somebody better than he is, that's it.
00:21:17.736 --> 00:21:21.650
Yeah, I know somebody better than he is, that's it.
00:21:21.650 --> 00:21:23.097
Yeah, I know somebody better than he is.
00:21:23.097 --> 00:21:26.299
I know somebody better than he is, better than he is.
00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:31.959
Yeah, yeah, you ain't whooping the one I know, see, because he ain't never lost.
00:21:34.589 --> 00:21:38.806
I always say come, make mention of putting the whole long, long Right.
00:21:38.806 --> 00:21:47.303
But even at that point we're serving some time to give up.
00:21:47.303 --> 00:21:55.776
We're human and sometimes we go too extra.
00:21:55.776 --> 00:21:59.200
Some of us are stronger than others.
00:21:59.259 --> 00:22:01.103
God didn't make carbon copies.
00:22:01.103 --> 00:22:09.421
You know there's some people that have the need to pray a little more often than others.
00:22:09.421 --> 00:22:17.590
You know it's whatever the spirit I have the spirit dictate to you, but now to just disregard it, no, no, no, that don't God.
00:22:17.590 --> 00:22:18.472
He's pleased with that.
00:22:18.472 --> 00:22:22.303
You need to recognize the one, that who created us, who was god.
00:22:22.303 --> 00:22:29.544
But paul said it did great, put on the whole honor, but he didn't make nothing to better back.
00:22:29.544 --> 00:22:36.820
And it seems, uh, that I say, ah, this truth is god the word ain't never.
00:22:36.820 --> 00:22:37.383
You know what.
00:22:37.383 --> 00:22:41.116
I'm just saying with a lot of what and not of.
00:22:41.116 --> 00:22:42.240
I'm not a criticizer.
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:48.130
People just make it mention of what happened, even me, if I happen to do or say something.
00:22:48.933 --> 00:23:02.615
But when you're in battle, which we are, got the whole arm roll, didn't make nothing to put it back, but he didn't forget.
00:23:02.615 --> 00:23:08.513
You know he intended it that way and this is what Paul said.
00:23:08.513 --> 00:23:10.601
And this is what Paul said.
