I can promise you this: I will survive. That 's what I want to talk about. You got the wrong neighbor because they didn’t shout for you. Find somebody who isn 't jealous and tell them it might be hard. I might have to cry, but I will miss Pearl. You will survive. Vietnamese monk, thought leader, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh is his name, said that mindfulness is the best way to go through struggle without being overwhelmed by it. Okay, I see. Mindfulness, okay, is the best way to go through struggle without being overwhelmed by it. Now, let’s define mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ability to stay in the present even though you’re being threatened by your past and your future. Yes, sir, can I say that again? Yes, sir. Mindfulness is the ability to focus on today even if today doesn’t promise a tomorrow. There are all types of mental acrobatics that are thrown at us from a myriad of different psychoanalysts, and those who practice things like stoicism and mindfulness. All of these things, even the scripture, just pure patience. But the truth is, and I will put myself in this so you don’t feel bad by saying amen to it: there are times when people try to make you positive, and you want to stay negative. All of the holy people aren 't going to say nothing right here, 'cause, oh, I just want to be positive. But sometimes people say pray about it, and you want to say shut up. What do you think I’ve been doing over the last six months? You think I ain’t been praying? You don’t think I’ve been fasting? You don’t think that I’ve been paying attention in church? You don’t think I’ve been listening to TED Talks? You don’t think I’ve been on YouTube trying to shake this thing? I’m trying to let it go, but the truth is it got a hold of me. Has anybody ever tried to walk away from something and it stalked you? The more you walked away from it, it just stalked you. If you walked away from this personality, you walked up on another personality that was just like the personality you walked away from. Then you start saying, am I cursed? Am I assigned to a bunch of negativity? Is this my lot in life? Am I supposed to struggle? Am I supposed to be forgotten about? But the truth is, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. There is nothing that you will ever go through that you don’t have the power to destroy. What you’re going to have to do is understand that weeping actually does endure for a night, but joy comes to people who have the courage to wake up. Touch your neighbor and say, don’t sleep through this one! Don 't sleep through this one! Don 't sleep through it! Don 't take sleeping pills! Don 't take any melatonin! You can’t sleep through this one. You’ve got to wake up and fight that devil with your eyes wide open. You’ve got to fight because your daughter is watching you. You’ve got to fight because your son is watching you. Matter of fact, you’ve got to fight because there’s somebody sitting next to you right now. They didn’t come to church with enough faith to fight, but I promise you that if you’ll just start a spark, the whole row will catch on fire. Matter of fact, I want you to just look down your row. I need every spark to let everybody on your row know I’m responsible for you today. You might be struggling today, but I was prayed up last night. I came here to slay demons. I came here to put the devil on the run. I came here to let the devil know he should have killed me when he had the chance. But now, I sought the Lord, and He answered. And I need about 300 people in here today to just shout it or whisper it. Don 't shout yet. Just whisper, I will survive. I will survive. Hey, hey! Oh, you ain’t old enough to know what I’m talking about! I will survive. A thousand will fall at my right hand, ten thousand at my side, but none will come near me. Why? Because one can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight! If you’re sitting next to the right person, you could put enough demons on the run to chase them out of your whole family. I dare you to look at them and say, are you the right person? 'Cause I got demons I need to get out of my daughter. I got demons I need to get out of my son. I got demons I need to get out of my house. Check it: I got demons I need to get out of me. I need to be next to somebody who will help me worship Him. Anybody waiting on God, holler at your boy! Anybody waiting on God? I often think that we miss God because we mistake our opinions for God’s word. We actually mistake how we feel for seeing clearly. There 's a story about a man who was a deacon at the church; I ain’t picking on y’all. He was a deacon at the church and he was out on his boat when the boat capsized. He was in the water treading water, and he looked up to heaven. He said, Lord, you said that if I worship you, you would save me. Sir God, you said if I served you, you would be with me until I die. God, I ain’t ready to die. I’m in this water and I need you to do something for me. A boat came by and said…
