there’s a
scripture in Philippians
for that I love
and it speaks to the power of
transmission
Philippians 4 6-7 it says
be anxious for nothing
but in everything by prayer and
supplication
with Thanksgiving
let your requests be made known to God
and the peace of God which surpasses all
understanding will guard your hearts and
Minds through Christ Jesus
[Applause]
it speaks to the power of what happens
when we take what we’ve been carrying to
the Lord in prayer
when I take it to the Lord in prayer
I pour my heart out
and I say God this is what I’ve been
carrying
God this is what’s been stored up inside
of me
and when we lay it out before God most
of us just stop at that point and then
we miss that the second part says that
the peace of God which surpasses all
understanding
will guard your hearts and Minds there’s
something that happens you pass on your
burdens you pass on what you’ve been
carrying and then God passes you back
something else
when I lay it out before God a
transmission takes place
now all the all of a sudden where I once
had the potential to be anxious I now
have the opportunity to have my heart
and mind guarded
and to experience peace
that means that when I am in prayer
I am in pursuit of the things in my life
which are taking up capacity that no
longer have the right to be there
and in exchange I am asking God to give
me peace
for the area where I once had anxiety
that God would give me peace for the
area where I once had worried that God
would give me peace not just peace the
kind of peace that we have for a minute
but the kind of peace that guards my
heart and mind why do I need a guard
around my heart and my mind because if I
don’t have a guard around my heart and
my mind I may end up engaging again in
the very thing that God that I laid down
in my prayer closet and so I need a
guard against my own heart and mind
and that’s what happens
when we go in prayer and now we’ve gone
to prayer and now I’ve made this
exchange and now I have capacity I have
the ability Now to create space for what
God wants to do in my life
because in order for us to be infective
in this season I heard God say that
you’re going to need to embody the
revelation of Who You Are
who you are in his eyes
it’s not part-time
it’s not something you’re waiting to
step into
the two have been called to embody a
word
he spoke a word that brought your life
into existence
and if I am embodying my trauma or if I
am embodying the other things that have
happened to me I’m embodying stress I’m
embodying other people’s responsibility
then I cannot embody the word that makes
me effective in why I was brought into
the Earth
Jesus knew how to shake things off of
him
because he recognized it at the end of
the day I have been called to embody the
word
and the Word was made flesh
and dwat amongst us
the reason why I chose this text with
Paul is because I don’t think that there
is another example as thorough as the
life of Paul
that helps us to understand what it is
like to embody the call of God on our
life
it seems like Paul was a peculiar choice
considering he was on the other side of
what God was doing in the Earth
he was persecuting Christians
persecuting Believers of the way he was
not on our side at all
and yet he has an encounter on the road
of Damas on the road to Damascus
Damascus that lets us know that that
conversion took place
and he went from embodying the belief of
who he thought he should be to embodying
the belief of who God has called him to
be
and when he moved and made this
transition one of the things that he
tells us in Philippians that he learned
in the process of embodying who God has
called him to be is that in order for
him to embody it effectively that he has
to forget those things that are behind
that means in order for him to be
effective in the call he could not keep
on carrying not even the highlights of
what had happened he couldn’t carry what
happened behind him who he used to be in
order for him to be effective In This
Moment he had to forget those things
that were behind why did he have to
forget those things that were behind
because in order for him to be present
in this moment he had to have a full
integration of who he is right now that
means that I cannot afford to keep
paying for the mistakes of who I was
yesterday and step into who I’m called
to be now I can be worried about what
I’ll look like tomorrow I gotta step
into this moment right now sometimes the
greatest prayer that you can pray is God
make me present in this moment right
here I don’t want to miss what this
moment has for me I don’t want to miss
who I am supposed to be in this moment
so make me present not just in my mind
make me present in my body when I’m
having a conversation with my partner
and I’m thinking about all of the ways
they got it wrong and I’m thinking of
all the things things I could be doing
instead of thinking about those things
that are behind or thinking about what
I’m going to say in the future God help
me to be present in this moment so I
don’t miss what you’re trying to do help
me to be present when I am creating so
that I don’t miss the sound that you’re
trying to create I don’t want to be on
autopilot I want to be present in every
moment I don’t want to just get busy
raising the child and putting them on a
routine that I miss the fact that
they’re going through a depression that
I miss the fact that they are
self-harming God help me to respond in
this moment help me to see it the way
that you see it God says I’ll take care
of the future don’t worry about that you
stay present in this moment why else do
we celebrate that he has gone ahead of
us and made our crooked path straight
that means I don’t have to go ahead of
me he’s got ahead of me covered all I
need to do is work where I am right now
so I am forgetting those things that are
behind and I’m going to work where I am
right now God make me present in every
way possible to what this moment demand
I don’t want to be stuck
I don’t want to be trapped
and Paul manages to master this
Paul Masters this so well
that when my text begins
it says that God works unusual Miracles
by the hands of Paul
starts off talking about his hands
but then it says so that even his
handkerchiefs or aprons
were brought from his body
to the sick
I like this text
about the power
of him embodying so fully
his call
that even the things that he wore
were anointed enough to heal the sick
oh it’s gonna get good in a minute
[Applause]
he was so locked into his purpose
he was so locked into who he needed to
be in any given moment that even when
they beat and wounded him and then threw
him in prison that Paul and Silas were
still in the prison worshiping and
singing songs because he was so locked
into who he was called to be that even
when he was up against persecution even
when he was in the midst of a trial he
still knew how to lock in with God and
not lose focus he knew how to lock in
with God and make sure he could tap into
a praise he was so locked in that it was
oozing out of his pores he was so locked
in that even when they beat him all it
did was produce more praise Paul was the
crazy man who kept talking about
suffering producing glory and how else
does the suffering produce Glory unless
he is fully in the suffering so that he
can be fully in the glory oh God help me
because I feel like I’m about to turn
the corner on this thing the reason why
you have to be fully present in your
body is because when you’re fully
present even in the suffering you also
get to be fully present even in the
glory the fact that Jesus was so moved
with compassion that he felt it in his
bowels means that when he was wounded
for our transgression he really felt
that thing in his body that means that
when the chastisement of our iniquities
were upon him that he really felt it in
his body that means that when they
nailed his hands to the cross that he
really felt that thing in his body but
when he was raised up free and
Victorious he really felt that in his
body so much so that he told Thomas put
your hands through the holes because I’m
telling you I really felt Glory
happening in my body I want somebody to
know that it is possible to be so
anointed that it bruises through your
body to be so anointed that you shook
the atmosphere when you walk into a room
to be so anointed that when you step
into this space all of a sudden the
conversation must be elevated because
what God has done in me before I even
open my mouth you can experience it by
the way I carried my body
tells you I’m not the one my body tells
you that I’m fearfully and wonderfully
made my body is healthier that I went
through hell and I know how to fight a
devil my body tells me my body tells me
my body
my body makes it known
my body makes it known it’s happening in
my body there was a woman who was so
convinced that God could help her that
when she heard that Jesus was in her
town that he was walking through the
multitude and Jesus was so in tune with
his body that when this woman was
walking through she had had an issue of
blood for 12 years and she could feel
the flow in her body but she fought
within herself if I could just lock into
Jesus then maybe that thing that I’ve
been feeling would finally stop flowing
and so she ran up on Jesus and Jesus was
so locked in that he said who touched me
who touched me and they said no that the
multitude strong here how could you ask
who touched you and he said I know that
somebody touched me because I felt power
come out of my body I felt power come
out of my body but check this the woman
was so locked in that when she touched
him it says immediately the flow of
blood stopped that means he was so
checked into what was happening with her
body that she knew the moment she got
healed God help me God help me God help
me there’s something going to happen in
this room when somebody touches the Hem
of His Garment
the woman is so locked in
anybody with a flow will tell you
that you can’t tell when the flow starts
and you can’t tell when the flow stops
but life had backed her into a corner so
much that she had to get sensitive about
her body and when she got sensitive
about her body when she locked into
Jesus Jesus locked into her and there
was an exchange that took place because
their one body touched another body one
body took power from another body and
now all of a sudden my body is saying
this side that I’m in touch by power I’m
in touch with a breakthrough
this
is Jesus
help me
Jesus was so anointed
that it was on the Hem of His Garment he
was so anointed that it was on his
clothes he was so in touch with his body
that he recognized that when she grabbed
him that she pulled something from him
and she was so in touch with what she
needed that she knew that when she got
the power it healed her I hear God
saying that some of you been touching
God but she didn’t touch him with a
Target and because she touched him with
the Target in mind she knew the very
moment she got healed I hear God saying
that if you start taking that power and
pointing it into the direction of where
you need healing you’ll mess around and
get healed in a way you didn’t think was
possible you mess around and get
breakthrough in a way you didn’t even
know was possible I hear God saying
start looking for the signs in your body
that I healed you start looking for the
signs in your body that you made it to
the other side God says you’ll feel it
in your body before you even denounce it
to the crowd you’ll feel it in your body
God won’t even know that you were healed
until he makes the announcement that
allows you to be seen
cause a woman with the issue of blood
knew it before anybody else did man I
don’t know who this is for got an
accident she would give me wisdom
because God told me to tell somebody
that you could be healed and not know it
if you don’t lock into what you’ve been
praying and asking God for God says you
could be healed and not know it if you
don’t recognize where you need his power
to show up in your life you could be
healed
he’ll do not know it
and I gotta be honest to you I prayed
and I asked God for healing to break out
in this room
I asked God for courage to break out in
this room
I ask God for there to be Deliverance in
this room that it would be undeniable
because somebody locked in so heavily
with what God was doing
that they felt the power when it came
out of heaven
I don’t think there’s anything more
beautiful
then when somebody
starts having
hands laid on them
but when the person on the other side
once the hands laid on them
there’s something that happens
when you lock into what the person is
carrying
and you recognize that they’re carrying
something that you need
of course a miracle breaks out
because when you lock in the Bible says
it like this wherever two or three are
gathered in my name wherever two or
three locking in my name I’ll be there
in the midst if you lock in I’ll show up
in the way that you need me to if you
lock in in my midst I have allow healing
to break through if you lock in
it’ll make all the difference
this woman
this woman with the issue of blood
she mastered the art of locking in
I chose this text
God revealed it to me
because I believe God wanted me to
understand and wanted you to understand
that what happened with Paul is possible
for you
that there is an opportunity for a fully
integrated faith
an opportunity to my wig well tell me
about it
[Applause]
I don’t care
y’all don’t think this is my hair do you
[Applause]
I really don’t care
because none of this is really necessary
because I recognize what is really
necessary if the wigs stay on or not if
the shoes stay on or not I know what I’m
really here for I understand that I came
here to lock in on something so you can
make the memes and make the videos at
the end of the day one thing I know for
sure is that me and God locks in on a
word and if this is a distraction then
let it fall off because at the end of
the day I believe that I am called to
bring breakthrough in this room and if
I’m in the way if the Breakthrough then
move me out of the way because what I
want more than anything is for him to
have his way so I’m locked in on what
God wants to do in this place and if
Miracles are going to break down then
let a wig follow me and miracles are
gonna break out then let the shoes come
out if Miracles are going to break up
you’ll think I need this I don’t need
this I do it cause it makes me look good
but at the end of the day I know what’s
good I know that if he goes before me I
know that if his Spirit Breeze in this
room
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost Holy Ghost I came
for power I came for breakthrough I came
so somebody could get healed I came so
somebody could experience those Wonder
working power of God I heard that God is
still performing Miracles so I asked God
to let me be a part of it and I don’t
care don’t care if I gotta be
embarrassed if you get the glory at the
end of the day see don’t let it fool you
[Music]
[Applause]
it’s not that deep
it’s not that deep the worst thing you
can do is make it about you but God is
trying to use you if you make it about
you when God is trying to use you you’ll
miss the moment when Glory can come
through you
[Music]
so uh
I’m locked in
I’m locked in I’m locked in let’s go
what’s up we’ve been in a fight before
now wait a minute when we’ve been in the
fight before do we or do we not have to
let a few things snatch off so that we
can show them at the end of the day I’m
back I’m back for real I don’t care what
it takes I gotta make it to the other
side I don’t care what it takes do you
think the woman with the issue of blood
cared about her hair do you think the
woman with the issue of blood cared
about what she looked like the woman all
right I’m about to take it off
thank you
and I never it ain’t never
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
foreign
[Applause]
so you could do it with your platform it
ain’t always gonna be cute it ain’t
always gonna be pretty but one thing’s
for sure it’s gonna always be God and I
don’t care what they say about me I care
that he is the glory when it’s all said
and done
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause]
foreign
[Applause]
she took her wig off too we gotta get
out of here
listen
Paul
[Applause]
Paul
didn’t mind
Paul
pardon mind doing what it took
[Applause]
in order to be
who God needed him to be in any given
moment
and it made it look so easy
that the priest the Jewish priest
thought
I can just do what he did
I can just say what he said and it’ll
have the same results
but they didn’t have his revelation
so they could not have his results
[Applause]
the power
of the revelation
of who you are to be in the Earth
requires that you embody it with such
Trust
that you don’t care what it looks like
to other people
[Applause]
[Music]
the two embody it with such confidence
[Applause]
that even those who knew one version of
you have to get known to that have to
get used to this new version of You Paul
knew how to embody this thing
I don’t know who you are
but I promise you one of the things I
heard God say to me
is that we have to embody the thing that
we’re talking about
because God told me
I’m going to start whispering my truths
in your body
[Applause]
it’s gonna be in your body stop talking
to people
it’s gonna be in your body
God says you’re gonna feel my love in
your body
you’re gonna feel my healing in your
body you’re gonna feel breakthrough in
your body I’m gonna put it in your body
the strength is going to be in your body
the creativity the path you’re supposed
to take God says check in with your body
because I’m gonna start
showing you
by the way you feel
God says I’m making you more sensitive
than you’ve ever been
[Music]
and if you’ve made a habit of overriding
your body
then you’ll miss who you are supposed to
engage with who you’re supposed to walk
away from you’ll make it a mind game
this isn’t a mind game this is a full
body game this is a full body game if
you don’t believe me ask Jesus it was a
full body game yes I know you said this
body is going to perish and one day it
is but right now God is using that body
and God wants you to honor that body and
check in with that body
the last thing I say is this
when The Magicians of the time
heard what happened
God help me to say it
the revelation
that Paul received was so powerful that
it was oozing out of his pores
so powerful that it created imitators
but because the imitators didn’t have
that Revelation that evil spirit was
able to jump on them
Paul was famous in hell
Jesus I know Paul I know but who are you
you don’t have no power to back up the
thing you’re trying to do if you had
some power I would back up off of you I
hear God saying that when it’s all said
and done I don’t want you to be famous
before man I want you to be famous in
hell I want the demons to know your name
I want the devil to know your name
everyone to understand that that power
you got was not just an encounter it was
a powerful lifestyle
