Full Transcript

To be different is I have just met a man who has impacted my life many many years ago. In fact I didn't even know if he was alive. I thought he lived in England.

But 26 years ago someone slipped me a piece of paper and said here's a prayer that could could help your life Dr. Schuller and the prayer was good morning Lord what are you up to today I want to be a part of it thank you God amen and I had that piece of paper and I started memorizing it and all it said was written by Norman Grubb. He is alive a living legend as far as I'm concerned Norman Grubb good morning. Now Norman Grubb is British and I thought he either lived in London I know you went to Cambridge I think.

Either that or Africa I heard you're in London. I live over here now. But you live in America then.

You still have a very definite British accent. Yes I speak proper English. It's wonderful.

How did you come up with that prayer that impacted my life and still does today? It isn't me that brings things to God. God's bringing himself to me. He says I've got all sorts of things you want to do.

Find out what I'm doing believe it and do it. Don't say please God do so and so. God what are you up to? When I see what God's up to I move in my faith and do it.

How did you come by that? When I learned that actually this human being is made to contain God. He isn't somebody flying by. Christ lives in me.

He made me wonderful to contain a wonderful God. So when I know that life is simple. He's doing the next thing.

When I'm seeing God's operating a building I'm an agent in his operation and I move into a real person with a real God inside me. An okay person with an okay Christ inside me. That's an interesting line.

An okay person with an okay Christ inside me and those two okays make that up to something great. Top okay. Yes.

Exactly. No mistakes in life. He's guiding me.

As I say Jesus said you didn't choose me. I chose you. I said he told you.

You shouldn't have been fooled. Accused me. Now you've chosen me but look after me.

How old are you Norman Grubb? 91. Moses is 120. I've got another 30 years to go.

I don't know if the applause covered the comment. As he said Moses was 120. I was 30 years to go.

I thought you missed that. His eye wasn't dim. Now his natural force is basic.

So what should mine be? The less I bother about myself the more I find out his life's in me. If I'm a body of fast I get body of trouble. If I'm a God believer I get God good things.

You're too super positive. Yes you are. He's pretty positive.

He's a lot. I wish I could learn more from you. I'll find out your books and read them.

But listen sir I'm going to teach this congregation your prayer. Do you remember it? You've written so many prayers you've probably forgotten. Good morning God.

Let's say it. Good morning God. What are you up to today? I want to be a part of it.

May I? Thank you. Let's say it again. Good morning God.

What are you up to today? I want to be a part of it. May I? Thank you. Amen.

Thank you.
