John chapter
11 verse 20-
28 this point in the text you all may be
familiar with the Story of Lazarus dying
and Jesus resurrecting him there’s a lot
of context to this particular moment in
the text but as I always do I’m going to
ask that those of you who know the end
of the story suspend the knowledge that
you have to for a moment join Martha and
Mary in the unknown of what’s going to
happen sometimes when we know the ending
it takes away from the impact of the
process and yet when we find them in
this text they don’t know what the end
is going to be
I’m in John I start at verse 20 from
chapter
11 Martha and Mary S for Jesus they were
friends with
Jesus and so when their Brother come on
all the church girls are standing for
the reading of the
word and I know y’all’s feet hurt thank
you Martha and Mary are friends with
Jesus they think to themselves I’m in
trouble but I have a friend who can get
me out of trou trouble I can’t imagine
what that was like to be friends with
Jesus in such a way that you think
surely my trouble my emergency will be
his crisis and he will respond they send
word to Jesus but Jesus doesn’t
respond and because Jesus doesn’t
respond not only are they dealing with
the grief of losing their brother
they’re dealing with the reality that
this connection they thought they had
with Jesus is not as strong as they
thought it was she’s trying to figure
out why he didn’t respond when she
reached out to him Jesus begins to head
to where they are and Martha meets him
there it says now
Martha as soon as she heard that Jesus
was coming went and met him but Mary was
sitting in the
house now Martha said to Jesus Lord if
you had been here my brother would not
have died but even now I know that
whatever you ask of God God will give
you I want you to understand that when
she says this she’s not saying okay God
so now you can bring my brother back to
life what she’s saying is I’m trying to
make sense of this reality that you had
the power but didn’t use the power I
know that whatever you ask of God he’ll
do so I’m trying to figure out why you
didn’t respond to the thing that I need
and Jesus says to her your brother will
rise again and Martha says to him I know
that he’s going to rise again in the
resurrection at the last day but I
needed you to bring him back to life
four days
ago I needed you to keep him
alive and Jesus says to her I am the
resurrection and the life he who
believes in me though he may die he
shall live and whoever lives and
Believes In Me shall shall never die do
you believe this she said to him yes
Lord I believe that you are the Christ
the son of God who is to come into the
world and when she had said these things
she went her way and secretly called
Mary her sister saying the teacher has
come and is calling for you my subject
is the moment of
increase Spirit of the Living God there
is no way in the world I could do this
without you and even if I could I
wouldn’t want
to God the fact is that I got nothing
but
you so this is my
offering I lay it all
down these are your
daughters take them to places only you
can take them give me Divine Insight
wisdom and prophecy that makes it clear
that it it is not me at all but it is
you calling them to a deeper place in
you God I pray that at the conclusion of
this message that they will walk out
lighter than when they came in that
their faith will be stirred up and that
me myself I will be
reminded that you don’t need my
plans you just need my surrender in
jesus’ name I pray amen
oh Lord help
me early on in our lives like in the
infancy stage of our life whenever there
are doctor’s visits the doctors ask
certain questions and the questions are
meant to check our development they ask
things like is the baby’s head sitting
can the baby sit up on his own is the
baby able to handang handle the weight
of his head is he rolling over is she
scooting across the floor because what
they’re looking for are Milestones of
growth and
development if they have these
particular Milestones of growth and
development it’s a sign that they are
maturing biologically in the way that
they
should that is usually just biological
and cognitive development but then when
we go to school they’re not just looking
at our cognitive deel development
they’re also looking at our emotional
and Social
Development they start looking at things
like how well do you play with other
children do you respond do you listen
they’re checking to see are you
developing appropriately for as other
children in your age group are you’re
sitting next to someone or maybe you
know someone and they talk all the
time they didn’t just find out that they
talked all the time
when they were in second grade the
teacher left a comment on the end of
that report card that said this one got
a mouth on
her because as a part of their process
they’re checking to see how you develop
they’re checking to see do you share
with others we’ve been introverted our
whole lives we never wanted to be in the
middle of the group we never wanted to
share the toys with everyone we wanted
to be by ourselves with our own snacks
and with our own toys this is the way
that we have always been and there are
usually signs throughout our development
that shows who we are when we
mature and interesting happens though
when you begin checking enough boxes
when you start checking off the
biological boxes the cognitive boxes
they stop asking these questions I don’t
know if it’s around 14 15 18 but
eventually they stop asking are you
walking well on your own are you holding
your head up anymore nobody cares if
you’re developing
anymore and that lasts for about two
decades before the doctor starts asking
a different set of
questions and some of these different
set of questions are like do you have
any pain in your body that feels
unfamiliar do you notice that your heart
rate exerts when you’re doing things
that used to be easy these two are signs
of
development it’s just development in a
different
direction this level of development is
trying to assess where you are on the
decline trying to determine whether or
not you’re moving in from a stage of
stability into a stage of
declining are you having any difficulty
walking or moving around this too is
development and developmental research
show shows us that development is not
just
progress often times when we he hear the
word development we think about growth
we think about expansion we think about
increase but when researchers look at
development they Define it in three
different
characterizations and that is growth
stability and
decline all of this is a part of the
development process I’m either
developing and growing I am developing
and into stability or I’ve reached a
stage in my life where I am developing
into
decline what’s interesting is that there
is no announcement when you move from
the growth stage to the stability
stage the doctor doesn’t say okay I’m
going to stop asking questions about how
you’re developing biologically or
cognitively they just stop talking at
all and then nobody says okay now you’ve
reached the stage where I’m going to
start asking you a different set of
questions there is no announcement when
you move from one stage to the
next and that’s why you often need
someone to ask you questions because
they know what to look for even if you
don’t know what to look
for because they understand what to look
for they ask you the kind of questions
to help you understand where you are in
the development process when a doctor
looks at a baby and says they’re a
little behind for their age they’re able
to offer intervention so that they can
move them into a space of development
that is more
appropriate sometimes you can be
increasing and not even realize it until
someone says to you you’re developing in
an area but you don’t even see that
development I think about Mary when
Jesus was at the wedding when Jesus is
at the wedding and they’ve run out of
wine she nudges him she tells the
servant whatever he says do and Jesus
says woman my time has not come but he
performs The Miracle anyway because Mary
knows something about his development
that Jesus doesn’t realize yet Mary
knows that in Luke 2 when we come to the
end of Jesus being lost in Jerusalem at
12 years old the scripture tells us that
Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature
and in favor with God and Men He was
growing but he also needed Mary to let
him know that what you have gone through
is now ready to be released into the
world I want you to know that you have
developed enough to release what is on
the inside of you the stage has been set
and sometimes you do not know that you
have increase until someone lets you
know that you have developed enough to
move into the next stage of your destiny
sometimes you don’t know it because you
get so locked into the process that you
settle into development forever but
there is a time where you move from
growth into stability and when you move
from growth into stability you may need
someone to tell you that you’ve done
enough reading you’ve done enough
listening it’s time for you to release
what’s on the inside of you I’m telling
you that you have increased enough to
move into the next stage of your
destiny and the reason why we miss this
is because in increase is often
disguised increase is often disguise we
don’t always see it when we
increase we don’t always feel it when we
increase increase doesn’t make an
announcement sometimes you just look up
and you’re not who you used to be
anymore because increase didn’t let me
know that I was changing I was just
being obedient I was just following the
voice of God I really wasn’t even
looking for increase I was looking for
obedience I really wasn’t even looking
for increase I was looking to offer
myself as a Living Sacrifice I wasn’t
looking for increase and that’s why you
need someone to let you know when you
have increase because if not you will
think that you are the same person you
used to be but sometimes you need
someone to let you know that you’re
walking a little bit differently you’re
talking a little bit differently and
they’re trying to figure out what it is
and you don’t even know what it is but
I’m trying to let you know that you have
increased that you’re not the person I
remember when some of you wouldn’t have
even been in this room on a Thursday
night going out of your way to be at a
conference to hear about Jesus but for
some reason I just had to be in the room
why did you have to be in the room
because I was increasing God’s been
calling me into something he’s been
moving me into something and I’ve
increased in such a way that this is the
only place I want to be I could be
anywhere in in the world but for some
reason I want to be in a room with a few
thousand other women lifting up the name
of Jesus which is crazy cuz I used to
want to be out with a few hundred people
doing some things that we won’t even
talk about and I can’t tell you how I
went from there to this but I think God
must have increased me I need someone to
get a revelation in this room that this
is not your first time surrendering that
you have surrendered in the past and
that’s why you’re in this room in the
first place there are some women in this
room who know a thing or two about
surrender and when you surrendered God
increased you on the low when you
surrender God says now I can pour more
trust in you now I can pour more faith
in you now I can give you more of my
spirit you’re looking for financial
increase I’m trying to let you know that
the increase that God has done on the
inside of you is better than any dollar
amount that you could ever receive
outside of you baby I’m stronger than I
was before
baby I believe God in a way I never
believed God before that heartbreak was
increased in Disguise that betrayal was
increasing disguise I didn’t know it but
it pushed me closer to God I didn’t know
it but it made me start crying out in a
way I would have never cried out
before increase in
Disguise increase in Disguise it only
looks like a problem because you don’t
recognize that increase is in Disguise
it only looks like they walked away from
you because you don’t realize that
increase has come in a disguise when the
angel of the Lord comes to Mary and the
angel of the Lord says to Mary blessed
are you and highly favored are you
amongst women she gets afraid because
she doesn’t realize that this is
increase in Disguise sometimes God
visits you and what makes you afraid is
actually increase in disguise
the bush is burning Moses turns away he
doesn’t realize that it’s increase into
SKU I don’t know what you’re up against
right now and it may look like it’s
actually up against you but I want you
to understand that it is actually
developing you that this is increased in
Disguise I know you’re tired I know
you’re weary but I want you to
understand that every obstacle is an
opportunity for increase my money may go
down but my faith is going to go up you
don’t get to just take everything from
me God if I have received a deficit show
me where the increase is cuz I know you
wouldn’t leave me with less than where
you met me so there’s got to be increase
somewhere I want to talk to somebody in
this room who’s felt like they’ve been
robbed who felt like something was taken
from you and I want you to understand
that God would not allow something to be
taken from you if he didn’t know how to
multiply you in such a way that what was
taken from you changes who you are on
the inside and you become
increased
increase in
Disguise it’s not betrayal it’s
increase it’s hard but it’s increased
it’s going to take everything you got
you’re right because it’s increased and
you want it to take everything you have
because when God gets ready to multiply
it you don’t want to have withheld
anything God I’m going lay it all down I
could hold half of it back but I’m going
lay it all down because when I give it
to
you there’s
increase
increase is often something that we just
step
into and when God sends someone to push
us he’s also helping us to realize that
there are some people who see you better
than you see yourself
and even if they don’t know who you are
God knows who you
are can I tell you a little something
about increase in Disguise increase in
Disguise will have you looking at a
Shepherd boy with a lunchbox thinking
that he could not possibly run up on
Goliath saying to him you should go back
to the field and let the big strong bold
people take care of this giant they said
he wasn’t enough God says this this is
increased in Disguise see there are some
people who may look at their situation
and think Lord this is not enough but
God says you are increased in Disguise
don’t expect for them to see what God
sees David had more courage on the
inside of him than they had muscle on
the outside of them he was increased in
Disguise that little boy had two fish
and five loaves of bread they said Jesus
we don’t have enough Jesus said that’s
more than enough that’s increase in
disguise I want you to start looking at
what you have to work with and recognize
that you may say it’s not enough but God
says I’ll take whatever you have because
whatever you have is something that I
can use it’s increase in
Disguise something
happens when we begin to
recognize that it’s possible to move
from one stage to another stage and
never realize it
I don’t know what’s
scarier not realizing the moment where
there has been increase in
Disguise or missing the moment when I
begin to
decline I
think I think I’d rather Miss
increase than to miss
decline
David this
Warrior this man after God’s Own Heart
would not fight a battle without asking
God shall I go
up some kind of way this same person who
was so committed to following the heart
of God finds himself in a situation
where he is home from Battle and when
he’s home from Battle he begins making
choices that he should have never made
so much so that when the prophet Nathan
comes to him and tells him a story about
himself
he doesn’t even recognize himself
because he has been declining and
doesn’t even realize
it
sometimes we
Decline and we don’t even realize
it we’re
shocked to find out that while we were
so busy
producing so busy people
pleasing so busy showing up that they
were getting the results but we were
getting the
decline I don’t know what’s worse how
does Jonah the prophet God’s
mouthpiece find himself in a situation
where he will not do what God told him
to
do he
declined and didn’t even realize
it there are people in this room
and they don’t even realize how much
they have
declined in their
faith how much they have declined in
their
hope how much they have declined in
their
courage because it happened so
suddenly that we don’t even know how we
got
there I know in a room this size is not
everyone’s
testimony but I don’t I know about you
there have been some times where I
looked at my life and I was so far off
track that I couldn’t even retrace my
steps moments in my life where I was so
far off track that I didn’t even realize
that I was walking by sight and no
longer by faith I had
declined so busy having my purpose my
vision my talent come to life that I
didn’t really realized that I had taken
ownership of something that started with
God I started declining and didn’t even
realize
it it started off a blessing now it
feels like a curse what happened when
did I start declining when did I lose
the honor for the thing that God gave me
when did I lose the honor for this
opportunity I started declining maybe I
should arrested when somebody said that
they would help me maybe I should have
asked for help because now I’m in a
situation where I’m declining maybe I
should have talked to somebody because
now I’m in a situation where I’m
declining maybe I should have asked
someone to give me some wisdom and some
insight instead of being Superwoman
because now I am declining and nobody
knows it because I’m still producing
nobody knows it cuz I’m still showing up
nobody knows it cuz I’m still singing
the songs nobody knows it cuz I came out
of my way to go to woman evolv
conference they think I’m here cuz I’m
such a good church girl I’m here cuz I
can sense I’m declining I’m not as sharp
as I used to be I’m not as solid as I
once want I feel myself declining I used
to have power and authority but I feel
myself declining I used to believe that
no weapon formed against me will prosper
but some kind of way I’m declining I
used to believe that I could rebuke the
devil and the devil would flee but some
kind of way I’m declining and the more
that I
decline the more quiet
I
become because I don’t want anybody to
know that I’m
declining what happened to
me what
happened to
me when I meet martha in this
text Martha is
declining which is really
interesting because most people would
look at this text and say well she’s
lost her brother of course she’s
declining but when I look at this text I
realize that we’re not just looking at a
woman who’s grieving a
person we’re looking at a woman who is
grieving the loss of her
plan it’s one thing to grieve a
person it’s another thing to grieve a
plan yeah maybe I lost the person but at
least I didn’t have a plan but this
Martha she had a
plan that should have saved her from
being in this
situation she had access to Jesus she
thought to herself that though he is
sick I know someone who can fix them and
I got a plan I’m going send word to
Jesus and I’m going to make sure that
this doesn’t progress any further have
you ever tried to intervene on your own
situation and your plan did not work
were you I have a Divine mandate from
God and I will not let anything happen
on my watch and you did all of the
things you knew to do but your plan
still did not
work she’s
grieving her
brother she’s
grieving her
plan she’s also grieving her
faith oh God help me
she’s grieving her
brother she’s grieving her
plan and now she’s also grieving her
faith because loss is not just
monolithic when we grieve something
we’re not just grieving what we
lost we’re grieving what we
believed we’re grieving what could have
been we’re grieving what will never be
again
grief
grief that is the issue with
surrender I’ve been trying to figure out
for the last few days how do I make
surrender easy God help me to understand
how I can give them a hunger and an
appetite for surrender and God told me
Sarah you want lie to them and tell them
that surrender is
easy surrender is only easy when you’re
on the other side of it but when it’s
time for you to lay it down surrender is
grief when we find Jesus in the
garden and we get those famous
words
nevertheless not my will but your will
be done we act like that was the final
part of what he said but it’s
not in Luke
22:44 it says and being in agony he
prayed more earnestly being in
agony he said it but he said it from a
place of
Agony because if you were waiting for
surrender to be easy you will never lay
it all
down you have to be willing to to
grieve that thing that must be
surrendered people ask sometimes why
can’t you just get over it why can’t you
just get over you don’t understand that
in order for me to get over it I would
have to create a memorial service for
this thing I got to make preparations to
lay this thing down you don’t just come
into a space and lay down something that
you thought would save your life
something that you thought would be your
destiny something that you thought would
make the difference in your life you
don’t just lay that down easy it takes a
certain level of grief connected to
that and what I love about Martha in
this text when she comes up to Jesus she
asks Jesus she tells Jesus if you would
have been here my brother would not have
died what I hear Martha saying is if you
really cared about me you would have
responded to the thing I asked you to
do what she doesn’t realizes that she
wants to know if God cares about her but
what Jesus wants to show her is it’s not
that I just care about you that I want
to care for you that I want you to
understand that caring about you makes
it seem like am I anywhere in his
perspective but when you recognize that
Jesus wants to care for you you
recognize that no I didn’t necessarily
come when you wanted me to because I had
a plan that was bigger than you could
have imagined but I came right here
right now because I can care for you in
such a way that makes you realize that I
still see you that makes you realize
that I still have a plan if you could
get over not being cared about you will
begin to know Jesus as the one who cares
for you I want to care for that broken
heart I want to care for that
disappointment I want to care for that
discouragement how do I care for it I
want you to know that I’m coming to get
it I’m coming to get that grief I’m
coming to get that disappointment I’m
coming to rectify the situation I didn’t
intervene when you wanted me to but I
did not ignore you all together because
I care for you I care so much for you
that I took the time to have an exchange
with you but I you have to understand
that Jesus did not have to tell Martha
he didn’t have to have this exchange
with Martha Jesus could have walked
right past Martha and went straight to
the tomb and brought Lazarus back to
life but because he cared so much for
her even though he knows that he has a
plan that’s going to help her he cared
enough to take the time to hear your
disappointment he cared enough to take
the time to hear your discouragement I
don’t need any perfect Christians who
make it seem like oh he’s been good to
me every single day maybe he has been
good in hindsight but there have been
some moments where I wondered if he was
still going to be good to me there have
been some moments where I felt like he
forgot me I learned after the fact that
he didn’t leave me nor forsake me but in
the moment I felt like he wasn’t going
to show up God if you had been there I
would have never been touched God if you
had been there I would have never gone
through that divorce God if you would
have been there I would have never gone
through that betrayal God says you can
go through it cuz by time I get finished
taking care of you you have no question
about whether or not I cared about you I
know how to take care of that God says I
didn’t want it to happen for you or to
you but I know what to do with it
because I know how to care care for
you I know how to care for you in a room
full of 40,000 I know how to care for
you I know to how to care for you in a
way that your friends could never care
for you I know how to care for you in a
way that your mother could never care
for you I know how to care for you in a
way that you don’t even know how to
verbalize you serve a God who will go
out of his way he’ll stop in his track
to make sure that you are seen about
because he cares for
you and when we see Martha having this
exchange with
Jesus Jesus is revealing to her that I
didn’t come when you needed me to but I
got a plan in the midst of everything
that’s happening what I love about this
is that Jesus doesn’t try to convince
her to not
grieve Jesus
doesn’t tell her to just get
over Jesus starts asking her questions
about what she
believes this is important because I
need you to understand that in moments
of
grief when it will not let go of you the
only thing you may be able to do is
grieve and believe at the same time oh
God help me to say this real good
Jesus doesn’t strip her of her grief he
says you can keep your grief I want to
know what you believe because if you can
grieve and believe at the same time then
I need you understand that your belief
will overwhelm your grief I don’t even
need to attack the grief I need to focus
on your belief can I tell you what God
told me when I was looking at this text
God told me that when he was talking to
Martha that he needed Martha to believe
on a different level oh God I feel my
help coming God needed Martha to believe
something about God that she has never
had to believe before Oh I feel like
preaching I feel like I’m about to turn
the corner in this room you have to
understand that when he asks Martha do
you believe this that Martha starts
repeating Pharisee belief yes I believe
in the last days that he’s going to come
back he says no no no I have a new
belief you’re going to have to believe
something about God God that you have
never believed before this is not a
season for recycled belief if you are
going to break out of your grief if you
are going to break out of this situation
you are going to have to believe
something about God that you have never
had to believe before God I wanted you
to be here but if you didn’t show up
maybe you are increasing my belief I’m
going to have to believe that that
Destiny is not ruined I’m going to have
to believe that you can heal me and
restore me I wanted to believe that I
would never go through it but now that
I’m going through it I got to believe
that you’ll get me through it I got to
believe that you’ll give me wisdom I got
to believe that you’ll give me strategy
I got to believe something about God
that I have never had to believe before
I don’t know who you are in this room
but I hear God saying that you’re not
going to get the job done with recycled
belief I need you to put your grand
mother’s Faith down this ain’t a job for
your mother’s Faith this ain’t a job for
your pastor’s Faith this is a job for
New Faith this is a job for new belief
you’re going to have to believe
something that the debt is already paid
that the mortgage is already sealed you
will have to believe something about God
that you have never believed before that
I am never forsaken that I may be alone
but I’m never lonely that there are
angels watching over me
you going to have to believe on a
different level God say if you’re going
to have breakthrough in your life it’s
not going to happen because you just
stayed seated in your grief baby I’m
grieving but I’m also believing I’m
still believing that I got a shot I’m
still believing that my best days are
ahead of
me I still believe I still believe I’m
not saying it didn’t hurt I’m just
saying I still believe I’m not saying
you didn’t break me I’m just saying I
still
believe I’m believing something about
God that I’ve never had to believe
before when you talk about breaking a
generational curse we’re talking about
believing something that no one in your
family has
ever ever believed before but I hear God
saying that you’re the woman for the job
baby because you are the only
one who can believe on the
level of what this
takes you going to have to
believe that’s why the Recycled belief
isn’t
working that’s why those same old
prayers don’t have the power they once
had
that’s recycled belief it worked for you
back then but you going to have to
surrender what you used to believe to
lay hold of this new belief there’s a
new
belief and I want you to ask
God what am I going to have to believe
about
you that I have never had to believe
before
I’m moving from one stage to another
stage and nothing I’ve done in the past
is working for where I am
now I’m going to have to
believe something about
God that I have never had to believe
before I’m going have to believe that I
can make it in this world without that
person I wanted
here I’m going have to
believe something I’ve never had to
believe
before I’m going have to believe that I
can do this by myself if I have to I got
to believe something I’ve never had to
believe before I got to believe I can
walk into that room and I can take up
space in that room I’m going to have to
believe
something I’ve never had to believe
before that I can raise this child and
break this curse I got to believe
something I’ve never had to believe
before I ask
God this message has been so heavy on
me I’ve been waiting on that
sound cuz that’s the sound of grieving
and believing
that’s the sound of though he slay me
yet shall I trust in
him
Hallelujah
Jesus Jesus says something to
Martha that he doesn’t even say that
often in Scripture
Jesus for the most part says who do men
say that I am he never fully owns who he
is except for in a few particular
moments and in a moment where this woman
is struggling to
believe cuz say I’m going to show you
something about
me that nobody else
sees he gives moment of her greatest
disbelief
he gives her a revelation is
disbelief he gives her a revelation that
even the most faithful don’t get to
hold he says I am the resurrection and
the life you have to understand that
everything that Jesus did was about
sticking and moving he doesn’t go around
talking about who he is he just embod
who he is but because this woman is
struggling so much he says come here
close to me
I’mma tell you who I
am God show this woman who you
are in a way she can’t
deny cuz this woman’s got to believe
something about you that she’s never had
to believe
before and she can’t do it on the
outskirts of
Revelation she needs a personal
encounter
cuz what she’s going to have to lay
down her
plan her idea of what her life should
have looked
like her idea of where she should be by
now or what the kids should be doing or
where the man is or isn’t the addiction
she wants to be clean she wants to be
sober she wants to be righteous she’s
never seen it done before she she’s
going to have to believe something about
you that she’s never had to believe
before and
Jesus Jesus gives her this
Revelation about who he
is because we serve a
God who will take us in
deeper even when we’re trying to pull
away there was something about this text
that stood out to
me that helped me to understand that the
first step of
surrender is not laying it all
down it’s
grieving then
believing then laying it all
down can I tell
you I found it fascinating
that when Martha has this
moment with
Jesus that the text tells us that she
says yes I believe it but we can tell
there’s still a little dissonance in her
belief and it says she goes to tell Mary
her
sister that the teacher has called for
you so I went and read again in the book
to see when Jesus called for
her Jesus never said go get
married it’s almost as
if when Martha couldn’t believe it on
her
own that she had to go find a
woman who could believe on a level that
she
couldn’t it’s almost as if she needed a
sister to go and hear what Jesus had
said because I’m struggling to believe
it on my own but if I get a sister who
can believe what God said maybe she can
help me make sense of what’s happening
in my life woman evolve I want to let
you know that you’re in the right space
and you sit next to the right woman
because what you cannot believe on your
own God says I’m going to help you be in
connection with another woman who can
help you believe on a level that you
don’t know how to believe
yet when she she went to go get
married she did not just go get any
ordinary woman I’m about to close she
went to go get a woman who knew how to
pour out her
oil and wash his feet with her hair she
went and got a woman who understood that
I don’t always understand his plans but
I trust who he is I don’t know if you
are Martha or Mary but I know that if
you’re in this room you got to be one or
the other no woman should be untouched
in this room cuz we’re about to believe
God on a level we’ve never had to
believe before we’re getting ready to
decree miracles in this place we’re
getting ready to declare breakthrough in
this place we’re getting ready to
destroy the works of the devil we’re
getting ready to go to war with that
woman’s depression we’re going to war
with that woman’s suicide of thoughts
we’re going to war with her
loneliness
why because your
belief could be the thing that pushes
her belief to the next level you know
something about God that that woman is
just learning but baby he sat her next
to the right one
I know him to be a Healer I know him to
be a way maker I know him to go ahead of
you and make your crooked path straight
I know him to create a business plan I
know him to help you raise your children
I know him to help you build a
Ministry I know him I know him to do it
I know him to heal you I know him to
break the curse off of your mind I know
him to set you free I know him to
deliver you woman evolve if there’s
another woman in this room who knows
something about God that another woman
needs to know I dare you to release it
in the
atmosphere who do you say I am what do
you know about me what do you believe
about God I believe that it’s not over
I believe I believe I believe I believe
I believe I
believe Samantha come take these shoes
off my feet we got work to do if y’all
got to go I know you’ve been up all day
and I know some of you are ready to go
home but we got a stronghold to break we
got work to do in the spirit Realm
nobody came all this way to stay the
same way nobody went out of their way to
walk out of here believing the way they
believed
before I said I’m looking for a woman
who’s had to believe something about God
that she’s never believed before I want
to prophesy in this
room about the God I know I can’t tell
you about budha I can’t tell you about
AA but baby I can tell you something
about
Jesus I can tell you he’s the sweetest
thing I know I can tell you that the
blood still
works I can tell
you I can tell you
that if you
knock he’ll answer I can tell you that
if you thirst and hunger for
righteousness that he’ll fill you I
can’t tell you what I don’t know but one
thing I do know is he will back shame up
off of you I know that he will protect
[Music]
you I know that he’ll feel you
I can’t tell
you what I don’t know how y’all doing up
there has he been good to you has he
been better than good to you they must
be over here do you know something about
God cancer I rebuke you T much you got
to get out of here five BRS I rebuke you
I seen them heal I seen wounds pregnant
I’ve seen the blind see I’ve seen the
lame walk not in the Bible I’m talking
about in the year of Our Lord
2024 that he’s still doing miracles
I know he causes all things to work
together I know
that cuz there are some things in my
life that should have never
worked but he worked
them there’s some things that I
know that I shouldn’t even know
but he made sure I had access to
knowledge that I couldn’t get from
anywhere
else it’s not enough to have your
plan it’s not
enough even to have your
grief if you don’t have
belief fresh
[Music]
belief I know it cost you to be in this
room but why would you come in this
room to have a recycled
Faith why would you come in this
room to have a repeat of what you
already
know God says I want to give you
something
that you would have never had
otherwise I need you to believe
God for
healing not just in your
body but in the area where you’ve had to
surrender I need you to
believe not that Jesus cares about
you but that he cares for
you I care for
you I care so much for you I protected
you I care so much for you I kept you
here I cared so much for you that I sent
that grandmother I sit there teacher you
keep giving me a list of all the things
that make you feel like I didn’t care
about you but you’re missing the ways
that I cared for
you and I didn’t just care
then I cared
now Martha’s trying to figure
out we were friends and I know you cared
then
but do you care
now I want you to
know that being in relationship with
Jesus it doesn’t mean that he always
responds in the way that we
anticipate and I’ll be honest that’s
frustrating cuz I have an idea of what
care looks
like and having to surrender your
definition of what care looks like
God if you really cared about me my
business would have succeeded if you
really cared about me if you really if
you really cared if you really cared if
you really cared I care for
you but me caring for you doesn’t always
mean that you get the things that you
want but what it does mean is that what
I give you in return is going to show
you that I couldn’t give you what you
wanted when you wanted it but what I had
for you was worth the wait I want to
prophesy over somebody in this room that
what God has for you is going to be
worth the grief that what God has for
you is going to be worth every tear you
have shed it’s going to be worth every
heartbreak you’ve ever
had and my prayer for
you is that you won’t miss the moment of
increase because increas is often
disguised
sometimes it looks like
heartbreak sometimes it looks like
loss but if we are only expecting
response in one
area we may miss the increase that is
available to us in other
areas and so my question to
you is what do you need to to
grieve and what is it that you need to
believe maybe I don’t have to work twice
as
hard maybe I need to let that person
go maybe I need to forgive
and let that situation hurt me cuz
sometimes I’m so tough I won’t admit
that it hurts but maybe grieving for
me is admitting that it hurts
but don’t let the enemy get you stuck in
grief you can grieve and believe at the
same
time your homework for
tonight I’m a college girl so I can give
homework
[Laughter]
now is to offer
yourself as a Living
Sacrifice you’re here we got one day
down we got two days
left this
moment this weekend is an
altar it’s an altar for you to
say not just what do I need to lay
down but also
God what do I need to pick
up can you do me a favor and touch the
woman beside
you oh oh God can you imagine what she’s
up
against can you imagine what it is that
she needs to believe about
Jesus that she’s struggling to
believe I already know cuz I know girls
like her cuz I used to be one of her she
don’t even like that you touching
her oh y’all need to grow
up I’d rather face this on my own don’t
touch me you’re making me feel
things you need to feel
that you need to let somebody hold you
for a
minute you need to let belief transfer
in this
room can you imagine what our Collective
knowledge of who God is could do in this
room
there are literally people in this room
where the doctor said that you don’t
have any more
time and here they are years down the
road still alive in this
room people in this room battling
depression people in this room battling
anxiety and yet someone else in this
room on the other side of depression on
the other side of anxiety that’s what
happens when we come into this room
you’re not the only one been been high
you’re not the only one been strung out
you’re not the only one been looking for
somebody to make you feel good so you
didn’t feel bad it’s all in this
room and yet he really
heals he really
delivers so I want you to squeeze belief
in that woman’s
room
belief

believe Bel Bel believe believe I
believe I believe I believe I believe I
believe stir up the gift of God that’s
on the inside of her I believe I believe
I believe I believe I believe I believe
I believe you’re healed I believe that

believe that he’s going to protect you
and preserve you I believe he’s going to
convict you and he’s going to comfort
you I believe that he’s going to
transform you I believe that he’s going
to call you your people to you I believe

you Joy I believe I believe I believe I

what the Locust have eaten I believe who
he says he is I believe he’ll do what he
says he will do I believe he’s still
faithful I know you’re questioning but I
believe I’ve seen him do it I believe
that he will call cause your feet to
walk on High Ground I believe that he
will call you into greater depth and
greater anointing I believe you haven’t
seen your best day yet I believe that
rivers of Living Water are going to flow
out of your room I can’t lay hands on
every woman in this room but because
you’re touching her I believe the same
anointing that sought my life it’s down
on the inside of that woman and it may
come out in dancing it may come out in
writing but who the son has set free my
God is free indeed and I decree and
declare everything that God put in you
it must come out everything that God put
in you it must come out everything that
God put in
[Music]
you I demand it to come out I demand it
to come out I demand it to come out
before you get back on the plane before
you lay your head down on the pillow I
believe somebody’s going to break out in
tongues somebody’s creativity is coming
back somebody’s pce is coming back I’m
not waiting till you get home I demand
it to come
forth
in in the name of
Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name
that is above every name in the name
that every mission of his name every KN
shall Clow every tongue shall confess I
speak Jesus over your
life
[Music]
[Music]
Jesus baby I don’t know who you are in
that pink shirt
but I hear God saying that you needed to
be as high up as possible cuz God says
that he’s got a bird’s eye view of your
life and when you see what he sees
you’re going to recognize that it was
all working out in your favor I hear God
saying you got the best seat in the
house because when it’s all said and
done you going to see it the way God
sees
[Music]
it okay
[Music]
God these are your
women you know the steps they’ve
taken you know the tears they’ve
cried you know the
areas where they never got a chance to
grieve
and you
know the spot where they need to believe
something
different God I pray that you would take
the limits off of their
minds that the same mind that was in
Christ
Jesus would rest on the inside of their
skull God I thank you for renewed
thoughts I thank you for renewed
hope I thank you for a fresh surrend
not because it’s
easy but because they are believing you
in a way they’ve never believed

allow the enemy to come and Rob this
word from them I rebuke it hell get out

placed in this woman’s womb tonight what
he has placed in her spirit
