happen every day.

That's right.

He knows what you'll do...

...before you do it,

what you'd do before you did it...

...and what you'll do

when you leave here.

When you hear me say ''miracles''...

and the four brothers out of Detroit!

That's right, l'm not talking about

those fellas.

...the delicious spread you spread on

the bread called the Miracle Whip!

Go ahead, Reverend. Heh.

What'd you see, brother?

-For many, many years.

Yes.

And the vision has been for me

to have a brand-new church.

-Yes.

-So that l can come here on Sunday...

...and preach the word of God!

For instance, hit the lights.

Okay, here we go.

Let me show you all

what l'm talking about.

Look.

This is the church we are currently sitting in

right now, brothers and sisters. Look at it.

l had some Mexicans

working on that ''chimley.''

l got four of them at the Home Depot.

Jumped in the van

like they was gonna do it right.

They end up putting masking tape

all on top of the ''chimley.''

Help us, Lord.

Show them my next church.

Look at that! Oh, Lord.

This is the kind of church make you

wanna come and praise the Lord.

Make you wanna put something

in the plate.

And if we ain't got a plate, just put

what you gonna give me in my hand.

-Yes.

-This is my home.

Oh, have mercy.

Many of you brothers and sisters didn't

know that l was living so humble, did you?

l sleep up here.

ln this room right here.

Grandma, don't you see

what's going on?

This is my vision. Look at that.

T.D. Jakes. Benjamin and Long.

Everybody's living like this.

Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

Why come l can't have a Jacuzzi?

Why come l can't eat shrimps and steak?

Lord, why come l can't have that?

-Did he ask you? No.

-Where he gonna get the money?

-He's not asking.

-That's not right.

Those sisters who need help,

that want to pray privately with me....

-Private.

-Tell it, pastor.

-My ex-wife.

Ooh.

Goat-smelling ass,

built like a sack of laundry.

Fake Louis Vuitton purse.

She done let them Chinese

trick her nine times.

-This is the wife God want me to have.

Praise the Lord.

Does she have a twin sister? Ha.

God might not be there when you want him,

but he's always there when you want him!
