thoughts on what is true And honorable And right And pure And lovely And admirable Think about things that are excellent And worthy of praise So when he says fix your thoughts We talking about the mind right? Yes Amen Mother Nellie you got the children Bible on this one? Yes It says Brothers continue to think about the things that are good and worthy of praise Think about the things that are true And honorable And right And pure And beautiful And respectable Hmm Think on these things The Bible says as a man thinketh so is he So is she And if we're thinking bad thoughts The question is what's on your mind tonight? What's on your mind? Did you come on here with an expectation? I'm going to get delivered tonight Pastor Jones is going to teach me a word tonight That's going to help me to move to a level I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired I'm sick and tired of saying it is what it is That's such a cop out It is what it is No It's what God wanted to be Not what man wanted to be Amen Let me read you a message translator It says summing it all up Friends I'd say you'll do best By filling your mind And your meditation On things that are true Things that are noble Things that are reputable Things that are authentic Yes sir Compelling Gracious The best And not the worst The beautiful And not the ugly I sometimes You know you love people We love each other But sometimes I don't like you Because your ways are ugly The ways are ugly Every time you get around some relatives All they want to do is cuss And smoke and drink I love you But I don't have time to come around you I don't have no fellowship with you Because if you can't respect me enough Knowing that that's something Now don't get me wrong If you smoke in your home And I decide to come to your home You can keep on smoking That's your house I can't tell you what to do in your home But I can tell you what I ain't gonna come and be around He says to meditate on things to praise Mrs. Serena you just told us about your son But do you have anything to praise God for tonight? His life, he's not dead He's here He's not sleeping He's breathing Come on now Come on Anything else that you have to praise God for tonight? My health My walking by faith Even though my toes are hurting like crazy Thanking God Focusing on Him And not the pain Knowing that He's gonna heal and deliver me Now let me say this to you You just said something I want y'all to realize She just said a mouthful Because Mother Nellie Watch this now Dr. Adria can attest to this She's a doctor Some people She said My toes is hurting like crazy Some people toes are hurting Dr. Adria But they can't even feel the pain That's right son Yeah, yeah So God will use Listen Some people are crying right now Mother Nellie On the inside But ain't no tears falling See God give us these receptors in our body And these receptors are nerve endings And they go back to the brain And you start feeling pain And there was a man once that told me He took so much ibuprofen He could take his fist And bust it through a wall Mother Nellie And wouldn't even feel it But he went to the doctor And every one of his knuckles was broke But he didn't feel it See many of us are inebriated Many of us are over medicated She said I can praise God My toes hurt But I'm still praising God My back hurt My feet hurt My head hurt But I'm still praising But I'm still praising I'm still going to give God the glory If I fall down I can get back up again I know I can Because he said I can do all things through Christ Which strengthens me Who is Christ Pastor Rob? The anointing I know I can do all things Because the anointing of God is on me In me Through me And for me So I can get up when I fall And that's the attitude that you have to have We always can find something Mother Nellie To complain about Yes He's singing that song Nobody knows I don't want to know What I want to know Are you willing? Are you ready To join me in prayer So we can pray For your pain That we can pray For the blood pressure That we can pray And not only pray Dr. Adrian But we can do something about it Lord show us What we can eat that's right Help us to get connected To the right people That help us So that we can have A lower blood pressure So that we can not have diabetes So that we can have A good life A quality life You got to stay connected You got to stay connected Watch this I'm going to say it again You got to stay connected To God So that you have the ability To reject the distractions Of the world Yes Amen You got to focus On positive aspects of life Yes And God's goodness Oh that's good I was talking to a young lady once Mother Nutter She was severely overweight And she actually worked for me She was on my staff When I worked at another job Several years ago And I noticed she was mean As a junkyard dog I mean she would cut you up and down I wondered how she even made management And I saw her About three or four years After I left that job And she was at a church service And I didn't recognize her She had lost 150 pounds And I said Oh wow hey She said she came over Now back when she was a big woman She wouldn't even say nothing to me She hated me And I was her boss She hugged me And she said it's so good to see you And she said I apologize I apologize the way I treated you She said but Mr. Williams I didn't like what I saw in the mirror I didn't like myself And finally I decided to do something about it And now I have joy And see the difference In a person like that And how I feel Whether I'm fat Skinny Black Light skinned Rich Poor I have joy Because my joy comes from Jesus My joy comes from the Lord My joy comes because he died He was buried and he got up I'm totally lazy I'm not saying everybody like me No no no no I'm just saying me Yes I thank God As minister Serena said She found a way to praise God Yes Even in the midst of her pain I've heard Dr. Adria Having some issues on the job But she found a way to praise God And give a testimony Yes Yeah I heard Mr. LaRonda Going through it one day But she found a way to say Pastor I'm just grateful I'm hurting My hip hurt This hurt That hurt But you know what I'm just grateful Grateful I agree Yeah And when you start being laser focused on that You won't focus on the issues of the world Right So focus on positive aspects of life And God's goodness To avoid being distracted by worldly concerns Amen Avoid it at all costs Amen Amen Let's go to 1 John 1 John chapter 2 15 and 17 1 John chapter 2 Verse 15 and 17 I know him Welcome Apostle Bartholomew From Nigeria Pastor Ruth joined us from Nairobi, Kenya God bless you both We thank and praise God for you Thank you for coming in tonight 1 John 2 15 through 17 says this Do not love the world Or anything in the world If anyone loves the world Love for the Father is not in them My God What does yours say Minister Serena? Do not love this world Nor the things it offers you For when you love the world You do not have the love of the Father in you Alright Mother Nellie what you got? I said do not love the world Or the things in the world If anyone loves the world The love of the Father is not in him Nor are the evil things in the world Wanting things to please As a simple self Wanting the simple things you seek Being too proud of the things we have But none of these things come from the Father All of them come from the world Don't love the world ways Is what the writer here is trying to tell us It's the ways of the world When he say world he's not talking about people We got to love all people Even our enemies But he's talking about the ways He's talking about sin He's talking about the devil Do not love the world's ways Don't love the world's goods Don't fall in love with your car And fall in love with your house That will not be with you When they lower you in the ground It ain't going to be your money It won't be with you Alright Y'all heard me tell the story about the man That was mean Menacing Serena He was mean as I don't know what He told his wife He said I'm not going to leave you anything I'm taking everything with me to the grave He said I need you to promise me That you will put all my money in the casket with me When they lower me in the ground Mother Nelly that day came around That rascal died His wife just before Just before Dr. Adria They put him down She said hold up I got one more thing She went in there and dropped an envelope With a check in there Made payable to him And she said you got your money She put it in a check and put it in the ground You can't do nothing with that You said chapter 2 chapter 17 I stopped at 16 Chapter 17 The world is passing away And everything that people want in the world Is passing away But the person who does what God wants Lives forever The world squeezes out love for the Father Practically everything that goes on in the world Wanting your own way Wanting everything for yourself Is all about me, myself, and I It's all about a selfie world we live in now Wanting to appear important Everybody on Facebook wants to be important Everybody is a bishop Everybody is an apostle Everybody is a pastor Everybody giving you a word from the Lord Everybody posting scriptures And as soon as they get through posting scriptures They smoking weed and going in there sleeping with a married man You can't listen and believe everything that people say Because they are caught up in the world The way of the world Has nothing to do with Father God It just isolates you from Him The world and all of its wanting I want this I gotta have this I gotta have him I gotta have her When are you going to have a wanting for the Lord to be present in your life? When are you going to want to love Jesus? They sung the song Falling in love with Jesus Falling in love with Jesus Falling in love with Jesus It's the best thing I've ever, ever done Hallelujah Praise God I want you to make sure that you understand that This scripture literally emphasizes the need To prioritize spiritual values Prioritize your spiritual values over worldly attachments Because only what you do for Christ is going to last All the rest of the stuff won't even matter to God It won't even matter We got people now Dr. Adriel fussing in ministry Fussing in churches about the music Satan was over the music in heaven And you start fussing with people about the music in the church You don't allow Satan to rear his ugly head I don't care if we came in the church And gave Mother Nellie the mic like we do every night Sing Mother Nellie and then let's preach and let's teach If we gotta go through all that rigmarole We gotta be falling out because we didn't do your song And this and that You ought to be coming to church for the word There ain't no song that's going to save you There's no saving power in a song I love praising God I love praising worship But give me the word Give me the word Amen Let's go to Matthew Chapter 6 Verse 19-21 Matthew Chapter 6 Verse 19-21 We can't allow the distractions of the world To mess with our connection with God Do not allow that Don't let that happen Jesus is speaking He said do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth That's exactly what we're doing now You go into some people's closet Minnesota arena They got 50 and 60 pair of shoes in there The last time I checked Mother Nellie There's only 7 days of the week Average month have 30 days I don't know If you got 70 and 80 and 90 pair of shoes You can't wear all those shoes You got people out here Dr. Adria who don't even have shoes People out here who's hurting And you hoarding up shoes You got fur coats in the closet After you got the first one you had to get a second one You got the second one you had to get a third one And you live in Florida When are you going to wear a fur coat in Florida or California? Do not store up for yourselves the treasures on this earth One man said he got a garage that can hold 20 vehicles Ain't no way in the world one man can drive around in 20 vehicles at the same time But we storing up these treasures But won't give ministry a dime minister Serena Won't bless the church at all So the Bible says what is it for a man or woman to gain the whole world and lose his soul We got people riding around and walking around in red bottom shoes Seven, eight hundred dollars And come to church and put a dollar in the plate You got your blessings on your feet You better pray that you keep them feet See because I'd rather praise God for feet than praise God for new shoes I'd rather praise God more than nothing I could digest a steak than going out and buying a bunch of steaks He said do not store up for yourselves treasures on this earth Where the moth and the vermin destroy them The rats going to get them, the roaches going to get them, the moth going to get them Going down in your basement and all the clothes down there they stink Yeah I know I've been in some basements I said oh Lord you got a whole lot of clothes down here Oh yeah I got a collection for it Yeah and they full of moth They stink Nobody can't even wear them no more You are extra large now you got a small shirt down there You know you can't wear that Amen And he says here and where thieves break in and steal This scripture encourages us to detach from material possessions Yeah right Detach from material possessions and the pursuit and you pursue heavenly treasures What does yours say Mother Nellie what does yours read? I said do not store treasure for yourself here on earth Moths and roaches will destroy treasure here on earth And thieves can break into your house steal the things you have So store your treasure in heaven The treasure in heaven cannot be destroyed by moths or roaches And thieves cannot break in and steal that treasure Your heart will be where your treasure is Yes yes The message Bible says don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust Or worse stolen by burglars Stockpile treasure in heaven Yes sir Where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars It's obvious isn't it The place where your treasure is is the place you will most want to be And end up being If your treasure is in the world you're going to end up going to hell Yes it is Because that's where your heart is at Yeah I know You want to be buried in your Mercedes Now that Mercedes ain't going to keep the moth and the rust from eating it up It ain't going to keep the canker worms off your body Right My God my God Come on Mrs. Renner what does yours say Don't store up treasures here on earth Where moths eat them and rust destroy them And where thieves break in and steal Verse 20 Store your treasures in heaven Where moths and rust cannot destroy And thieves do not break in and steal Wherever your treasure is The desires of your heart will also be So what kind of treasures can you store up in heaven Heavenly places What should be our number one treasure on earth Love Love L-O-V-E Love Capital Our faith Joy That's why we sing that this joy that I have the world didn't give it to us and the world can't take it away This love that I have the world can't give it to me And the world can't take the love of God The Bible says nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus Jesus is my joy Uh uh uh Jeremiah 17 and 7 minister can you get that for me Jeremiah 17 and 7 We have to understand the treasures that the Lord has already given us access to But he ain't going to force himself on us You got to receive that yourself Yeah 17 and 7 Uh huh But blessed are those who trust in the Lord And have made the Lord their hope and confidence Uh huh Read verse 8 They are like trees planted along a river bank with roots that reach deep into the water Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by the long months of drought Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit Glory hallelujah Blessed with spiritual security Thank you Lord Dr. Dre is blessed with spiritual security It says here is the man or woman who believes and trusts and relies on the Lord And watch this whose hope mother Nelly and confidence and expectation is God Y'all ain't hearing me Your hope, your love, your joy, your peace and every attribute that describes God is my hope Uh huh He's a way maker Yeah He's a promise keeper Yeah He's a heavy load sharer Hallelujah praise God When the load gets heavy minister Serena just turn it over to the Lord and he'll work it out Hallelujah I had that song Jesus will work it out You gotta realize in your household right now minister Serena Jesus will work it out Whatever you're going through Dr. Dre or Mother Nelly Jesus will work it out Amen No matter what you're going through he there's nothing too hard The Bible asks two times once in Genesis and Jeremiah is there anything too hard for the Lord No For he will be nourished like a tree God want to nourish you sister Linda Chandler God want to nourish you sister Jackie Isabel like a tree planted by the waters Why if you plant if you plant a tree by the water the water the roots of the of the of the tree Gonna get gonna be moistened and and watered by by the by refreshed by the water That's how God does us He said that spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear the heat when it comes Each one of us we can take a licking and keep on ticking God is going to be with us in the storm out of the storm Whatever condition that we in Paul said I've been a bomb and I've been a baseball I've learned to be content David said I've been young and I've been old but I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread I thank God today for that scripture I thank God that I've shared Jesus Christ with my son and my daughter Now my offsprings of the grandchildren It's up to them to keep it going And wherever they fall short as long as I got breath in my body I'm gonna keep on telling them about how good God is I'm gonna keep on showing them Dr. Adria how good God is When I walk in there I may have a limp but don't let my limp fool you He's still good to me Hallelujah He's good Mother Nellie said like this I done told you Hallelujah That's the attitude you gotta have Washington says And I will not fear the heat when it comes But its leaves will be green and moist And it will not be anxious And he will not be anxious And LaRonda will not be anxious And Mother Betty will not be worrying Hallelujah And Minister Erica will not be anxious about anything But by everything through prayer and supplication With thanksgiving make your request known unto God That's what the word tells us There's nothing to sit around and worry about no supervisor He better be worried about me that I'm praying for his For everything good for him Please Yeah Don't worry about them I'll turn it over to the Lord They gonna realize who they're dealing with Yeah Jesus said forgive them They don't know what they're doing Amen Forgive them Hallelujah They know not what they're doing Amen Amen Praise God Praise God Well let me see here Oh let me I got 5 minutes 5, 6 minutes Let's go back over to Colossians 3 and 2 And then we gonna end up with James 4 and 4 Colossians 3 and 2 Amen Hallelujah This word gets so good y'all I'm trying to teach it but Mother Nellie make me wanna preach I get a little happy so y'all Y'all have to forgive me Alright let's go Colossians 3 and 2 Set your minds on things above And not on earthly things Again remember what we started out by saying tonight Connected to God So that you can reject the distractions of the world That's where the world comes Satan comes to kill still destroy So you gotta be laser focused Intentional And set your mind on God Amen Set your mind on love Set your mind on joy Not on happiness Life will make you sad But love will make you have joy I'm gonna say it again Dr. Adria Life can make you sad But it also can make you happy But life cannot give you joy That comes from above That comes from God Direct believers to My job is to direct believers To focus their thoughts and aspirations On spiritual matters I know the Lord will make a way Why Mother Nellie? Cause he said he will Jesus said I'm the way The truth and the life No man come to the Father but by me That's why I can sing that song with confidence I know the Lord will make a way Oh yes he will He'll make a way For me and for Nellie He'll make a way for you You just gotta believe You gotta stay focused You gotta be intentional Yes sir What does yours say Minister Serena? New Living Translation Think about the things of heaven Not the things of earth Think about the things of heaven And not the things of earth Hallelujah Thank you Jesus Deliverance and all the things that God has prepared for us Jesus said I'm gonna go away and prepare a place for you He done built mansions Walls of jasper And streets of gold And pearly gates one day And you sitting around here worrying about some drywall Are you kidding me? Set your mind and keep focused habitually On the things above The heavenly things Not on things that are on this earth Which have only temporary value Only temporary Mother Nellie What does yours say Mother? What does it say? It says For the NIV Same thing as Serena Set your mind on things above Not on earthly things Amen, amen, amen Praise God Yeah My number six says Think only about the things in heaven Not the things on earth Your old sin itself has died And your new life is kept with Christ in God Hallelujah Hallelujah Let me say this to you my brothers and sisters Your life And my life If you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ Jesus You need to act like it Yes I'm sick and tired of seeing church folk Who proclaim Jesus Christ And these old religious zealots That are out here killing people for the sake of religion That is not of God They're supposed to be finding a way Dr. Adria To find a peaceful resolution We don't supposed to be sending drones over Killing innocent people Yes And so God's going to deal with that So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ You need to act like it Pursue the things over which Christ presides Don't shuffle along eyes to the ground No keep looking up He said I will lift up my kneel My eyes to the hills with coming my help My help comes from the Lord I'm not looking to the ground I said it this morning Dr. King said whenever men and women straighten their backs up They're going somewhere A man can't ride your back unless it's bent Hold your head up Be absorbed with the things right in front of you Look up and be alert to what is going on around Christ Christ is in me That's where the action is You see you got to see things from God's perspective Right Yeah Yeah That's the only way you can understand love You got to see it from his perspective You can't see love from your perspective But when you connect Dr. Adria Your understanding to God's understanding And the Holy Spirit reveals to you And that's why we have Logos Which is the written word But we also have Ramer Which the word now is alive Love is alive Love is not dead Joy is alive Even in the midst of falling down You can still have joy Mother Nedra fell flat on her back And the first thing she did was call me and say I just want to thank God I just broke my back I had to look at the phone I said this woman do not change Not even a piece of ice Mother Nelly could cause her to change And that's the attitude that we have to have Be dogmatic and determined Nothing No you ain't going to change the way I feel Because I'm not going to be distracted by what you're talking about Now let's end it out with James chapter 4 verse 4 I know Cassandra might have to work tomorrow You want me to read it? Yeah go ahead You hear me? Yes we hear you You said James 4 verse 4? Yep You adulterers don't you realize that friendship with the world Makes you an enemy of God I'll say it again If you want to be a friend of the world You make yourself an enemy of God My God my God Wow The message Bible say you are cheating on God Yeah if we the bride Then you are cheating on God If all you want is your own way Flirting with the world every chance you get You end up enemies of God and His way And do you suppose God doesn't care? You think He doesn't care? The proverb has it that He is a fiercely jealous lover And what He gives in love is far better Than anything else you'll find It's common knowledge that God Goes against the willful proud But God gives grace To the humble Alright What does yours say Mrs. Serena? Dr. Andrea read my version From the New Living Translation But I do have the Passion Version Alright Adulteress Adulteresses Do you not know that Friendship with the world is hostility Towards God My God So what So whoever wants to be the world's friend Becomes God's enemy Alright My God That's a dangerous thing to play with right there Yes sir Amen The Good News Translation say Unfaithful people don't you know That to be the world's friend means To be God's enemy If you want to be the world's friend You make yourself God's enemy Very important that we understand The people that we hang around The things that we desire The attitudes that we have We sin against God In thought, word and deed So you need to work on your thoughts Yes You need to work on what you say How you speak And you need to work on what you do Alright And when we take care of those things Minister Cassandra When we work on those things I'm not saying it's easy It's a work in progress And our connection to God Will empower us To reject the distractions Of the world Amen Praise God Thank you Minister Serena anything you want to share tonight Powerful scriptures Pastor Rob I thank God for you But most of all I thank God for his word These scriptures I say like I'm always in the storm You know the ex-husband I'm there faithful I'm doing my best To be I can't do anything without God Okay And I understand We're going to go through storms But I understand Isaiah 43 He knows me personally Serena Okay And no one can snatch me out of God's hand This is Isaiah 43 He said when I go through deep water Menacing deep water You know With Satan trying to attack my loved ones And I'm going through the fire The pain is fire to me Okay But I'm still walking by faith Yeah We can't sit still Because ministry means to serve I could sit home and pamper myself But what is that going to do? I'm out there serving I thank God that My ex-husband moved from a nursing home Now listen saints Listen Pay close attention God is always in the forgiving business And healing business He is submitting He's from a nursing home to assistant care Which is a little apartment Okay I thank God Taking himself to the bathroom This is what God does This is what God does If we don't doubt We walk by faith Hebrews 11 and 6 It's impossible to please God without faith He told Abraham And when Sarah laughed In Genesis 18-14 Is there anything too hard for God to do? Now I know he's going to deliver my son When I sit up and mope He said praise him Thank God for him Now in the way we do that Philippians He told us Paul tell us You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus has And a lot of people think that's strange Because they don't know who God is And God is loving We love He said don't do the things of the world Okay we're in this world He prayed for us in John 17 Yes we're in this world But we don't love the things of the world We love his word We are doers of his word Those who have ears let them hear Hear means obey Thank you pastor Wow Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing Yes sir Come and eat please Amen Anybody else Anybody else Want to share tonight? I would say Thank you for the reminder That we have to keep our focal point on God We have to Sometimes we get distracted And our eyes will turn here and there And our thoughts will go here and there But this was a reminder To remember To keep Jesus as our focal point Because we're not living for what we see We're living for his promise And God is the keeper of his promise Amen Amen And I just wanted to I wanted to ask for prayer For It was a stranger I don't even know her name I just happened to come out of the store today And this young lady was sitting on the ground And she was crying out And I didn't know You know what to do And initially I was like okay You don't know who's who But God told me to go back He said put my purse in the car Get some food Some non-perishables And go back And so that's what I did And I went back And I I talked with her briefly And I You know she had just lost her job And so she was distraught And so she was sitting out there with her uniform on And I asked her If I could pray with her And she said yes So much so that she grabbed my hand in prayer And we prayed And And And then I left Initially she didn't take the Food that I was offering But she did She did say yes to the prayer But after we prayed I I even actually gave her a hug And then she took the food And she said thank you Thank you Thank you And then I was so glad That I was obedient Yes To what God had called me to do Because I felt convicted I walked past But then I said I need to walk back Because sometimes we just get so Again Distracted by what we What we see It was our natural eyes That we lose focus Of what we should be looking at With our spiritual eyes And this was a wonderful reminder Yes Amen The storms like you said Will come and go The storms will come and go And so I just wanted to pray For her And I wanted to say a prayer Of thanksgiving For the storm That God walked With me Through Over this past two weeks God is a gracious God That's all I have to say God is a good God He never leaves you Yes You know It is It is very Incumbent upon us One of the reasons why Satan comes after us Is because he knows That God He knows what's going to happen to him But he wants very bad To be able to show God That he can take God's children with him So you got to stay focused You got to say You got to say to yourself And say it out loud My life is worth Jesus dying for me Yes You got to remember that Yes I was worth dying for Yes And when people say you're nothing You're no good You ain't going to be nothing Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
