want to build for individuals is the want to build for individuals is the idea of defending the fact that yeah so idea of defending the fact that yeah so idea of defending the fact that yeah so what we have Resurrection Sunday on the what we have Resurrection Sunday on the what we have Resurrection Sunday on the same day that they celebrate Easter so same day that they celebrate Easter so same day that they celebrate Easter so what right I I I think that it doesn't what right I I I think that it doesn't what right I I I think that it doesn't take away from the power and the take away from the power and the take away from the power and the authority of the God we authority of the God we authority of the God we serve right why why can't God you know serve right why why can't God you know serve right why why can't God you know to to me the fact that we celebrate to to me the fact that we celebrate to to me the fact that we celebrate Resurrection Sunday in the face of what Resurrection Sunday in the face of what Resurrection Sunday in the face of what they call a pagan holiday Easter and God they call a pagan holiday Easter and God they call a pagan holiday Easter and God still can get all the glory all the still can get all the glory all the still can get all the glory all the shine and people forget about why we shine and people forget about why we shine and people forget about why we even celebrate Easter what's wrong with even celebrate Easter what's wrong with even celebrate Easter what's wrong with that God God received so that God God received so that God God received so much influence on a time that they were much influence on a time that they were much influence on a time that they were celebrating something else like y go celebrating something else like y go celebrating something else like y go ahead y'all deal with this semantics and ahead y'all deal with this semantics and ahead y'all deal with this semantics and you all that nonsense I just know that you all that nonsense I just know that you all that nonsense I just know that this is the day that we're going to this is the day that we're going to this is the day that we're going to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord celebrate the resurrection of our Lord celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus and Savior Jesus and Savior Jesus Christ and he said he said so so what do Christ and he said he said so so what do Christ and he said he said so so what do you want to talk about he said I want to you want to talk about he said I want to you want to talk about he said I want to talk about the realities of of the fact talk about the realities of of the fact talk about the realities of of the fact that as we look at the trends and some that as we look at the trends and some that as we look at the trends and some of the things that people are saying of the things that people are saying of the things that people are saying about the church e about about the Cross about the church e about about the Cross about the church e about about the Cross Life Death and resurrection of Christ Life Death and resurrection of Christ Life Death and resurrection of Christ even look at at the even look at at the even look at at the Christians Christians Christians Evolution to really walking away from Evolution to really walking away from Evolution to really walking away from this this this this fundamental aspect this this this this fundamental aspect this this this this fundamental aspect this fundamental expression of why we this fundamental expression of why we this fundamental expression of why we exist as a exist as a exist as a church called church called church called Resurrection you got individuals that Resurrection you got individuals that Resurrection you got individuals that are asking well is did the resurrection are asking well is did the resurrection are asking well is did the resurrection really happen or is it something really happen or is it something really happen or is it something symbolic is it is it is it myth uh myth symbolic is it is it is it myth uh myth symbolic is it is it is it myth uh myth folk Lord my mythological uh when it folk Lord my mythological uh when it folk Lord my mythological uh when it comes to I said well there's nothing comes to I said well there's nothing comes to I said well there's nothing mythological about Jesus Christ there's

mythological about Jesus Christ there's mythological about Jesus Christ there's nothing mythological about the death of nothing mythological about the death of nothing mythological about the death of Jesus Christ there's nothing Jesus Christ there's nothing Jesus Christ there's nothing mythological about the the resurrection mythological about the the resurrection mythological about the the resurrection of Christ so I want to talk about the of Christ so I want to talk about the of Christ so I want to talk about the resurrection of Christ can we do that resurrection of Christ can we do that resurrection of Christ can we do that and there's two aspects I want to talk and there's two aspects I want to talk and there's two aspects I want to talk about the the fact that it about the the fact that it about the the fact that it happened and the fact that it has power happened and the fact that it has power happened and the fact that it has power you see there's two things you cannot you see there's two things you cannot you see there's two things you cannot argue the fact that some people can try argue the fact that some people can try argue the fact that some people can try to argue the fact that it happened but to argue the fact that it happened but to argue the fact that it happened but this's one element that is very this's one element that is very this's one element that is very difficult to argue is that the power of difficult to argue is that the power of difficult to argue is that the power of the resurrection and what imp that has the resurrection and what imp that has the resurrection and what imp that has had on Human Experience for over 2,000 had on Human Experience for over 2,000 had on Human Experience for over 2,000 years so we're going to get into it real quick and quick and so I'm cutting out a lot of my sermon let's turn to 1 Corinthians sermon let's turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and here's Paul having a conversation 15 and here's Paul having a conversation with with the church of Corinth and and with with the church of Corinth and and with with the church of Corinth and and um go back and check out the history of um go back and check out the history of um go back and check out the history of of the of of um Corinth and all the of the of of um Corinth and all the of the of of um Corinth and all the thing that's going on and this was a thing that's going on and this was a thing that's going on and this was a very diverse uh Community the Gentiles very diverse uh Community the Gentiles very diverse uh Community the Gentiles were there the the the Jews who uh were there the the the Jews who uh were there the the the Jews who uh became Christians were there and they became Christians were there and they became Christians were there and they were trying to they had this church were trying to they had this church were trying to they had this church going on and he's talking to and they going on and he's talking to and they going on and he's talking to and they having a big conversation if you look having a big conversation if you look having a big conversation if you look back it actually goes back to the coners back it actually goes back to the coners back it actually goes back to the coners uh before in the beginning parts of uh before in the beginning parts of uh before in the beginning parts of chapter 15 but we not we don't have time chapter 15 but we not we don't have time chapter 15 but we not we don't have time and Paul is saying and Paul is saying and Paul is saying look I'm going read it first and then look I'm going read it first and then look I'm going read it first and then I'm I'm I'mma give it to you in W

I'm I'm I'mma give it to you in W I'm I'm I'mma give it to you in W terms he said but if there's no terms he said but if there's no terms he said but if there's no resurrection of the resurrection of the resurrection of the dead then not even Christ has been dead then not even Christ has been dead then not even Christ has been raised and if Christ has not been raised raised and if Christ has not been raised raised and if Christ has not been raised then our preaching is in vain and your then our preaching is in vain and your then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain so basically he saying faith is in vain so basically he saying faith is in vain so basically he saying look y'all y'all are getting caught up look y'all y'all are getting caught up look y'all y'all are getting caught up on on something significant if if if on on something significant if if if on on something significant if if if you're going to argue the fact that that you're going to argue the fact that that you're going to argue the fact that that that there is no such thing as a that there is no such thing as a that there is no such thing as a resurrection then you can't openly say resurrection then you can't openly say resurrection then you can't openly say that Christ Rose because you're going to try to Rose because you're going to try to limit the power of God because if God limit the power of God because if God limit the power of God because if God remember he rose Lazarus before he rose remember he rose Lazarus before he rose remember he rose Lazarus before he rose himself he was showing expression of an himself he was showing expression of an himself he was showing expression of an authority that he had over death but authority that he had over death but authority that he had over death but with Lazarus it took an outsider with Lazarus it took an outsider with Lazarus it took an outsider external form of authority to bring him external form of authority to bring him external form of authority to bring him back to life but then now we get to the back to life but then now we get to the back to life but then now we get to the resurrection of Christ and from from his resurrection of Christ and from from his resurrection of Christ and from from his internal power and authority he was able internal power and authority he was able internal power and authority he was able to Rob eyes from the grave see Lazar he to Rob eyes from the grave see Lazar he to Rob eyes from the grave see Lazar he had to be called but God just stepped out so here Paul is having a out so here Paul is having a conversation he said you guys you you conversation he said you guys you you conversation he said you guys you you you getting this all confused all you getting this all confused all you getting this all confused all twisted you got to if if if Christ can twisted you got to if if if Christ can twisted you got to if if if Christ can rise than anybody else can rise amen let me read it to you in a message amen let me read it to you in a message translation he says now let me ask you

released into the human experience that released into the human experience that can be can be can be accessed by accessed by accessed by us that's why he says all power has been us that's why he says all power has been us that's why he says all power has been given to one the Lynch pint of the Cross number one the Lynch pint of the Cross number two the ramifications of Deni two the ramifications of Deni two the ramifications of Deni we strip our power away number we strip our power away number we strip our power away number three there's an assurance of victory three there's an assurance of victory three there's an assurance of victory over over over death there's an assurance of victory death there's an assurance of victory death there's an assurance of victory over death what do I mean by that over death what do I mean by that over death what do I mean by that Christ's Resurrection isn't merely Christ's Resurrection isn't merely Christ's Resurrection isn't merely historical historical historical event but a living reality that assures event but a living reality that assures event but a living reality that assures us of a victory over death and why is us of a victory over death and why is us of a victory over death and why is that so significant as we as Believers that so significant as we as Believers that so significant as we as Believers because I know I've lost some because I know I've lost some because I know I've lost some individuals that I I want to see again I individuals that I I want to see again I individuals that I I want to see again I know I know that that that it was it know I know that that that it was it know I know that that that it was it because of the Resurrection I was able because of the Resurrection I was able because of the Resurrection I was able to lay my head down on my pillow at to lay my head down on my pillow at to lay my head down on my pillow at night when I was weeping and grieving night when I was weeping and grieving night when I was weeping and grieving because of loss of somebody I was able because of loss of somebody I was able because of loss of somebody I was able to know that to that I will to know that to that I will to know that to that I will see that person again there's something see that person again there's something see that person again there's something that happens when my Assurance is built that happens when my Assurance is built that happens when my Assurance is built on a historical event but not only on a historical event but not only on a historical event but not only historical but a living historical but a living historical but a living reality so here it is we can have the reality so here it is we can have the reality so here it is we can have the production with people at the grave production with people at the grave production with people at the grave talking with the sign of hope that we'll talking with the sign of hope that we'll talking with the sign of hope that we'll see them again we tell people at see them again we tell people at see them again we tell people at funerals that that this is not a place funerals that that this is not a place funerals that that this is not a place of grieve but a place to to be excited of grieve but a place to to be excited of grieve but a place to to be excited because after from the body is to be

because after from the body is to be because after from the body is to be with the with the with the Lord but we only can make that statement Lord but we only can make that statement Lord but we only can make that statement because of the Resurrection see we're no longer to Resurrection see we're no longer to Slaves no we're no longer slaves to fear Slaves no we're no longer slaves to fear Slaves no we're no longer slaves to fear but we are ambassadors of Hope spreading but we are ambassadors of Hope spreading but we are ambassadors of Hope spreading the good news of the the good news of the the good news of the Resurrection to a world in desperate Resurrection to a world in desperate Resurrection to a world in desperate need let me see what number are we up to one number one number four living in the light of the four living in the light of the four living in the light of the Resurrection what do I mean by that as Resurrection what do I mean by that as Resurrection what do I mean by that as Believers we are called to live in the Believers we are called to live in the Believers we are called to live in the light of the Resurrection Our Lives light of the Resurrection Our Lives light of the Resurrection Our Lives should reflect the realities of Christ's should reflect the realities of Christ's should reflect the realities of Christ's victory over sin and victory over sin and victory over sin and death what do I mean by that death what do I mean by that death what do I mean by that if if if you are you are you are living living living breathing the way your life should breathing the way your life should breathing the way your life should look it should not look like you're look it should not look like you're look it should not look like you're going through going through going through something well pastor we all going something well pastor we all going something well pastor we all going through something I said yeah I know you through something I said yeah I know you through something I said yeah I know you know Pastor Adam and I were talking he know Pastor Adam and I were talking he know Pastor Adam and I were talking he said yeah the the said yeah the the said yeah the the storms hit both the person who built storms hit both the person who built storms hit both the person who built their home in a rock and the home and their home in a rock and the home and their home in a rock and the home and the home man is saying you're not void the home man is saying you're not void the home man is saying you're not void of trouble you're not void of of trouble you're not void of of trouble you're not void of tribulation but why do you have to look tribulation but why do you have to look tribulation but why do you have to look like you're going through see there's a like you're going through see there's a like you're going through see there's a hope in the resurrection that one day hope in the resurrection that one day hope in the resurrection that one day soon yes sir the Sun is going to shine soon yes sir the Sun is going to shine soon yes sir the Sun is going to shine the sun has to shine I might be going the sun has to shine I might be going the sun has to shine I might be going through I might be in my furnace like

through I might be in my furnace like through I might be in my furnace like shadra mesak and abedo but like shadra M shadra mesak and abedo but like shadra M shadra mesak and abedo but like shadra M and abedo I don't have to look like I and abedo I don't have to look like I and abedo I don't have to look like I was in the furnace see there's a power that happens furnace see there's a power that happens when you are when you are when you are transformed by The Living Word see the transformed by The Living Word see the transformed by The Living Word see the word is living it's moving when word is living it's moving when word is living it's moving when something is living it's growing it's something is living it's growing it's something is living it's growing it's ding it's producing ding it's producing ding it's producing fruit yes fruit yes fruit yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir so so so look at it right so we got sir so so so look at it right so we got sir so so so look at it right so we got we have Holy Week and I think what was we have Holy Week and I think what was we have Holy Week and I think what was it by by our version of Tuesday for all it by by our version of Tuesday for all it by by our version of Tuesday for all those people who get mad at the pagan those people who get mad at the pagan those people who get mad at the pagan holidays and the Pagan calendar our holidays and the Pagan calendar our holidays and the Pagan calendar our version of Tuesday Matthew chap 21:8 it says Jesus Tuesday Matthew chap 21:8 it says Jesus cursed the fake cursed the fake cursed the fake tree that tree was a symbol of the tree that tree was a symbol of the tree that tree was a symbol of the Temple and the people of Israel the Temple and the people of Israel the Temple and the people of Israel the picture of Israel should be of a deeply picture of Israel should be of a deeply picture of Israel should be of a deeply rooted tree that grows both lifegiving rooted tree that grows both lifegiving rooted tree that grows both lifegiving fruit and leaves and when he looked at fruit and leaves and when he looked at fruit and leaves and when he looked at the tree it was just leaves and no no the tree it was just leaves and no no the tree it was just leaves and no no life-giving life-giving life-giving fruit and it was after that resurrection fruit and it was after that resurrection fruit and it was after that resurrection that he could put a demand on us to that he could put a demand on us to that he could put a demand on us to always produce always produce always produce fruit if you're allowing in the Bible to fruit if you're allowing in the Bible to fruit if you're allowing in the Bible to do what it does in somebody's do what it does in somebody's do what it does in somebody's life so I got to hurry life so I got to hurry life so I got to hurry up up up and number five embrace the five embrace the resurrection you might not be able to resurrection you might not be able to resurrection you might not be able to explain it from a scientific perspective explain it from a scientific perspective explain it from a scientific perspective how can that happen you might not be

how can that happen you might not be how can that happen you might not be able to explain it from a true natural able to explain it from a true natural able to explain it from a true natural historical perspective you know but historical perspective you know but historical perspective you know but still there's something there's a still there's something there's a still there's something there's a reality that it reality that it reality that it happened and not that'll happen if you happened and not that'll happen if you happened and not that'll happen if you embrace it as the power that transforms embrace it as the power that transforms embrace it as the power that transforms the life of an individual that you can the life of an individual that you can the life of an individual that you can just embrace it and not be used by God just embrace it and not be used by God just embrace it and not be used by God as a example say if you can do it for me come me come on so let us embrace the resurrection by on so let us embrace the resurrection by on so let us embrace the resurrection by faith with unwavering confidence let us faith with unwavering confidence let us faith with unwavering confidence let us hold fast to the truth that Christ is hold fast to the truth that Christ is hold fast to the truth that Christ is risen indeed and because he lives we too risen indeed and because he lives we too risen indeed and because he lives we too shall live yes every trial every shall live yes every trial every shall live yes every trial every Temptation every Temptation every Temptation every uncertainty May the reality of uncertainty May the reality of uncertainty May the reality of Life be beared onto us but also the Life be beared onto us but also the Life be beared onto us but also the power of the Resurrection that gives us power of the Resurrection that gives us power of the Resurrection that gives us the shoulders broad enough to handle the the shoulders broad enough to handle the the shoulders broad enough to handle the very thing that God knows we can handle so as I bring this up to to a handle so as I bring this up to to a WRA Paul said he said like this this is WRA Paul said he said like this this is WRA Paul said he said like this this is what he said he said he said that I what he said he said he said that I what he said he said he said that I might know him in the fellowship of his suffering and and the power of his suffering and and the power of his resurrection somebody said to me say resurrection somebody said to me say resurrection somebody said to me say Pastor Jamal why did you get involved in Pastor Jamal why did you get involved in Pastor Jamal why did you get involved in this why did you why the church arena is this why did you why the church arena is this why did you why the church arena is just it just it's not the easiest thing just it just it's not the easiest thing just it just it's not the easiest thing to thrive in as an individual let Al on to thrive in as an individual let Al on to thrive in as an individual let Al on a pastor because all the stuff that

a pastor because all the stuff that a pastor because all the stuff that you're seeing I said well let me ask you you're seeing I said well let me ask you you're seeing I said well let me ask you a a a question I said does okay let me let me let me behave CU does okay let me let me let me behave CU I was about to I was about to I was about to start no okay I'm going get in trouble start no okay I'm going get in trouble start no okay I'm going get in trouble for this one this one was bad this this for this one this one was bad this this for this one this one was bad this this one was bad so I'm I'm I'm going move one was bad so I'm I'm I'm going move one was bad so I'm I'm I'm going move over here and behave no cuz this one was over here and behave no cuz this one was over here and behave no cuz this one was bad so they said Pastor Jamal this that bad so they said Pastor Jamal this that bad so they said Pastor Jamal this that was bad so they said Pastor Jamal what was bad so they said Pastor Jamal what was bad so they said Pastor Jamal what got you into got you into got you into this I said I follow Comics right well this I said I follow Comics right well this I said I follow Comics right well the well when I could I used to have to the well when I could I used to have to the well when I could I used to have to sneak Comics my dad that was a devil sneak Comics my dad that was a devil sneak Comics my dad that was a devil everything was a everything was a everything was a devil Comics was a devil playing cards devil Comics was a devil playing cards devil Comics was a devil playing cards with the devil you know so when I used with the devil you know so when I used with the devil you know so when I used to sneak it the only one we got our to sneak it the only one we got our to sneak it the only one we got our hands on was um you know because we used hands on was um you know because we used hands on was um you know because we used to go to the Key Food and the guys used to go to the Key Food and the guys used to go to the Key Food and the guys used to bag the food remember they used to to bag the food remember they used to to bag the food remember they used to walk into the car for you and and walk into the car for you and and walk into the car for you and and whatnot and so he gave me a comic it was whatnot and so he gave me a comic it was whatnot and so he gave me a comic it was Superman and so Superman became one of Superman and so Superman became one of Superman and so Superman became one of my favorite my favorite my favorite characters and they and they said well characters and they and they said well characters and they and they said well what does it have to do with your walk I what does it have to do with your walk I what does it have to do with your walk I said well let me I'm going explain to said well let me I'm going explain to said well let me I'm going explain to you because one of the things I saw is you because one of the things I saw is you because one of the things I saw is that Superman was always being used to that Superman was always being used to that Superman was always being used to uh rescue people and and help people and uh rescue people and and help people and uh rescue people and and help people and stuff like that and I said wow that's stuff like that and I said wow that's stuff like that and I said wow that's amazing you know take him to jail take amazing you know take him to jail take amazing you know take him to jail take him a rehab wherever it was but the the him a rehab wherever it was but the the him a rehab wherever it was but the the problem is Superman always had to same problem is Superman always had to same problem is Superman always had to same the same criminals always acting up like the same criminals always acting up like the same criminals always acting up like you Superman is good just for catching you Superman is good just for catching you Superman is good just for catching people but not changing people and when people but not changing people and when people but not changing people and when I saw what was happening when my dad was I saw what was happening when my dad was I saw what was happening when my dad was ministering I remember it was a ministering I remember it was a ministering I remember it was a Salvation Army he was ministering and Salvation Army he was ministering and Salvation Army he was ministering and the alter call was flooded and the the alter call was flooded and the the alter call was flooded and the individual that I know that I know that

individual that I know that I know that individual that I know that I know that I knew then if you can go as far as you I knew then if you can go as far as you I knew then if you can go as far as you can from God that person was there that can from God that person was there that can from God that person was there that person was at that text that that Paul person was at that text that that Paul person was at that text that that Paul was I mean that that the psalmist was was I mean that that the psalmist was was I mean that that the psalmist was going through and he said even if I make going through and he said even if I make going through and he said even if I make my bed in hell you're there that man was my bed in hell you're there that man was my bed in hell you're there that man was there and when I saw what God was doing there and when I saw what God was doing there and when I saw what God was doing because of the power of the resurrection because of the power of the resurrection because of the power of the resurrection and the trans transformation it was an and the trans transformation it was an and the trans transformation it was an instant change there's something that instant change there's something that instant change there's something that you can't deny when you experience the you can't deny when you experience the you can't deny when you experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit transformative power of the Holy Spirit transformative power of the Holy Spirit the resurrection is the introduction to the resurrection is the introduction to the resurrection is the introduction to that Holy Spirit see because I know Spirit see because I know individuals I know individuals that have individuals I know individuals that have individuals I know individuals that have gone through stuff my dad even still to gone through stuff my dad even still to gone through stuff my dad even still to this day see the transformative power is this day see the transformative power is this day see the transformative power is is is is there's a aspect that way is is is there's a aspect that way is is is there's a aspect that way catches you right away there's something catches you right away there's something catches you right away there's something that changes and you get to that song He that changes and you get to that song He that changes and you get to that song He Touched Touched Touched Me but now I know right something right so there's know right something right so there's that there's that immediate but then that there's that immediate but then that there's that immediate but then there is there is this there is there is this there is there is this ongoing power because of the ongoing power because of the ongoing power because of the Resurrection where the Lord is walking Resurrection where the Lord is walking Resurrection where the Lord is walking with you with you with you and as you develop and grow he said okay and as you develop and grow he said okay and as you develop and grow he said okay now it's time to change that and come on now it's time to change that and come on now it's time to change that and come on we're we're not going to stop this is we're we're not going to stop this is we're we're not going to stop this is this is not a onetime date we're going this is not a onetime date we're going this is not a onetime date we're going to this is a lifetime relationship and to this is a lifetime relationship and to this is a lifetime relationship and he's walking with you okay now it's time he's walking with you okay now it's time he's walking with you okay now it's time to change there's something about the

to change there's something about the to change there's something about the resurrection that leads us to the resurrection that leads us to the resurrection that leads us to the access of a power that some people just access of a power that some people just access of a power that some people just can't can't can't comprehend some people don't want to comprehend some people don't want to comprehend some people don't want to comprehend and some people just just comprehend and some people just just comprehend and some people just just just are going to reject it and that's just are going to reject it and that's just are going to reject it and that's okay that's on them but for me I've seen some people I'm like Lord me I've seen some people I'm like Lord only you can do it how many of us have only you can do it how many of us have only you can do it how many of us have indiv like that that was only but God y I look at Elder sh and I hear some God y I look at Elder sh and I hear some of the stories we growing up Elder sh of the stories we growing up Elder sh of the stories we growing up Elder sh tell me tell I'm not going to tell Elder tell me tell I'm not going to tell Elder tell me tell I'm not going to tell Elder sh's story but he come from some sh's story but he come from some sh's story but he come from some stuff you know you you look at Friday's stuff you know you you look at Friday's stuff you know you you look at Friday's event you talk here about ourons and event you talk here about ourons and event you talk here about ourons and what he went through he was he went what he went through he was he went what he went through he was he went through some stuff and you know you look through some stuff and you know you look through some stuff and you know you look at Matthew and he tell gives his at Matthew and he tell gives his at Matthew and he tell gives his testimony he's going through some stuff testimony he's going through some stuff testimony he's going through some stuff but what is the the but what is the the but what is the the consistency the consistent thing is the consistency the consistent thing is the consistency the consistent thing is the word but the only thing that gave the word but the only thing that gave the word but the only thing that gave the word the word the word the power at another power at another power at another level for us at a at an intimate level level for us at a at an intimate level level for us at a at an intimate level right the word has power he said in the right the word has power he said in the right the word has power he said in the beginning was the word word with God the beginning was the word word with God the beginning was the word word with God the Word was God so it had its power but Word was God so it had its power but Word was God so it had its power but when it when when when the resurrection when it when when when the resurrection when it when when when the resurrection happened it it it just it there was a happened it it it just it there was a happened it it it just it there was a fusion that happened right cuz cuz it fusion that happened right cuz cuz it fusion that happened right cuz cuz it was it was it was God was dwelling was it was it was God was dwelling was it was it was God was dwelling outside he was observing he said but no outside he was observing he said but no outside he was observing he said but no he said I got to change the man and he said I got to change the man and he said I got to change the man and there something that happens when I I there something that happens when I I there something that happens when I I step inside of the heart of that man and step inside of the heart of that man and step inside of the heart of that man and I start cleaning house you know just I start cleaning house you know just I start cleaning house you know just just going through the process and and
