well I have a word today for you is
anybody excited about what God’s gonna
say today okay okay okay so if you’re
joining us for the first time welcome we
love you
let me give you some instructions real
quick I’m about to be really loud and
really wild okay because I get excited
about the word of god it’s the thing
that changed my life and took me from
being somebody who was really not that
good of a person to somebody who’s
really on fire from God and so like I’m
sweating because I was in praise and
worship and I do have four layers on
but-but-but-but I was in praise and
worship thanking God I was in the back
praising God because I know what this
word is about to do for you so I want
you to get ready to receive today and I
want everybody who’s watching do you all
know that this service happens five
times every day can we shout out our one
o’clock service our four o’clock sir I
need y’all to do better than that our
six o’clock service and transformation
nation we love you know there are
thousands of people right now watching
what God is doing and I believe it’s
because he’s told us that he wants to do
something amazing in this year 2019 is
the year of release
everybody shout at me release no no no
say it like you believe it’s a release
God told us that this is the year that
we were gonna walk in release and and
and when God gives us a word as a church
we don’t just play like okay God gives
words like we take that thing to heart
we speak it we believe it we write it on
stuff like hoodies we do all kinds of
stuff because we want to remind
ourselves of the Word of God and I’m
telling you when the enemy tried to come
in tempt Jesus do you know the only
defeat that he had to fight the enemy is
when he said I’ll make you this and do
this what did Jesus always say it is
written he reminded the enemy of the
word that was spoken and so I want you
to know that this year as God’s
releasing us we’re gonna remind God when
you feel bound you’re gonna say uh-uh
this is the year of release when you
fill in down
rotten and broken and depressed you
gonna say no no no this is the year of
y’all better help me this morning I’m
already hyper let me calm down okay so
this is what God told me as I went to
pray I want you to refer back to last
week’s message but I need to give you
the foundation of it God said 2019 would
be the release from everybody say the
release from he said this was gonna be
the release from the place of bondage
and I don’t know what your bondage is
and we may not have the same things but
there may be baby habits and hobbies and
generational things that have been
keeping us in bondage but this is the
year of release he said he’s gonna
release us from the place of bondage and
then he said he’s gonna release us of
everybody say of he’s gonna release us
of the perspective of bondage because so
many people God delivers us from the
place but we still carry the mindset
into a new place like he’ll release us
from perversion but we’ll still have the
thoughts that are perverted he’ll
release us from poverty but we’re over
here not poor no more but still thinking
in LAC and God said this is the year
that I need to transform your thoughts
because I’ve brought you out of Egypt
but Egypt has not come out of you yet
but this is the year of release I’m
telling somebody this is the hope that
you’ve been needing it’s been cycles of
depression cycles of low self-esteem
cycles of hopelessness but God is saying
that this is your year somebody say my
year you don’t even say it like you
believe it somebody say this is my year
of release okay and then he said the
last thing and this is one of my
favorite he said Michael I’m releasing
my people my children my babies into the
promise of the blessing so God wants to
release us from the place of bondage
releases of the perspective of bondage
but he wants to release us everybody say
into the place of blessing and this is
what God is going to do in this year if
you would have the faith to believe it
because I know something I’m like did
you just make that up handsome I did you
just come up with
because it was a good wire and you want
to say this check the record for the
past three years when God gave us a word
and we stood in faith in that word God
did everything he promised I’m talking
about he did more than we could imagine
and I’m telling you that the bondage the
the ties that you’ve been in the things
that have held you down God said that
I’m stepping in and this is going to be
the year shouted with me of relief so
now as we come into that God said that’s
my part I’m gonna release this year this
is the year of release so I started
studying releases and I started you know
I’m I’m kind of a Google nerd and I
started just typing in stuff of releases
and God showed me a picture and then he
told me what my job was today and so I
have one job today because there’s a lot
of stuff I want to talk about right now
but but I gotta obey God
we’re actually extending the series one
more week because he’s downloading so
much about what he wants to release in
our life and this week my main objective
is before we go further to let you know
the difference between a release date
and a reveal date but there’s a
difference between a release date and a
reveal day let me ask you this how many
people have an iPhone right now just
lift your hands right now you’re going
to heaven a man you’re going to have
people were Android is mad okay it’s
like all right let me ask this question
how many people had the first generation
iPhone like first generation okay y’all
are nerds like me god bless you okay I
remember I remember watching a keynote
presentation January 7th a January 9th
2007 and it was Steve Jobs and he stood
on this stage and he said that I’m going
to show you the future of phones because
up until then we had these um things
that they called smart phones but they
really wasn’t as smart does anybody
remember the Nokia phone you understand
playing snake how many people had the
razor
ah everybody you thought she was doing
something with the razor flip phones and
all this all the Millennials are like
wow but but but when Steve Jobs came and
he he presented us with the iPhone
it was the reveal of something brand-new
but but it’s crazy that they revealed
this On January 9th 2007 and then about
a month later at the 79th Academy Awards
they they paid a lot of money to take
out one commercial because they wanted
to reveal it to the world they knew a
lot of people will be watching the
Academy Awards and so they revealed the
iPhone to the world about a month later
but it was not until June 29th 2007 that
the iPhone was released so there was a
reveal but it took time before there was
a release and I started to think about
this is that as you see on the screen
this is the release date of the iPhone
and people are camped out outside doing
one thing waiting there waiting because
they got a vision that was revealed but
it took time before it was release I’m a
priestess thing to them and the problem
with our generation and our prayers is
that the moment God reveals it we want
it to be release and so we get
frustrated and we’ll give God one week
to change my relationship problem fix my
family this month and and what we want
to do is we’ve had 20 years of
addictions and God says you’re gonna be
released from it and he reveals the
vision to you but if it doesn’t happen
in three months we feel like God’s never
gonna release us of it this is the year
of release not the day of release not
the week of release not the series of
release
that’s why I said God gave us this word
for the entire year he’s not trying to
tell us some of the things that we are
working on and he is working in us and
working out of us are going to take
longer than one prayer at the altar it’s
going to take a transformation of our
life us turning repenting and walking a
different way
getting into community like to belong
group and changing because God is going
to show us a vision of our marriage
whole of us walking out of insecurities
and being confident in who God’s created
us to be of us walking free of the
depression that is the reveal but you
have to patiently wait on the release
and I got to make a confession to you ah
your pastor has an issue and we are a
hot church humble open and transparent
so I’m gonna tell you my issue today and
if you judge me to pot only god can
judge me okay I have a shoe problem okay
my name is Michael I have a shoe problem
okay I like sneakers I like tennis shoes
I’m a sneaker head and so what that
means is that when new tennis shoes come
out I’m like oh some of y’all like cars
some of y’all like coffee I like tennis
shoes okay and I wanted to share with
you some of my favorite tennis shoes
right now
so I’m gonna show you some of these
these are some of my favorite tennis
shoes right now these were a gift to me
these are shoes that Kanye West apostle
Kanye I’m believing for his his salt
appalled conversion you better have
faith with me I’m believing but but he
made these and these are called the
Yeezy boost 700 wave runners I love
these shoes I can literally throw them
on with anything and I’m cool but but
but these shoes I want you to know that
they’re sitting here right now but they
were released August 12th 2017 okay
in these these are probably my favorite
my favorite Jordans ever are the Jordan
Elevens
and these Jordans somebody’s clapping
cuz you’re in the spirit
these Jordans are called
the retro 11s and they are the cap and
gown edition and they release these this
past year on May 6 because you they’re
so cute you can wear them with a suit
look how beautiful those are and and
they’re there I call them my dark Vader
shoes like when I want to just kick the
enemy I put those on and but they were
released everybody say release May 26
2008 teen let me show you these one of
my other friends got me these I got some
really good friends
they got me these these are what you
call off-white and Nike collaboration um
Virgil ablow is a designer and Nike got
together and they made these and these
are some of my favorite Trail Blazers
and they were released everybody say
released they were released October 3rd
2018 and let me show you my favorite
ones right now don’t judge me
let me show you my favorite ones I wore
these last week and I almost didn’t know
what to do with myself these are made by
a guy named Jerry Lorenzo who has a
company called fear of God and him and
Nike got together and made the air fear
of God ones and these are my favorite by
the way Jerry if you’re watching I want
to be the first pastor sponsored by Nike
god bless you oh you don’t have faith I
had to release that into the air right
now Jerry hit me anyway watch what
happens
uh-huh but but but these were everybody
say released these were released
December 15th 2018 now the crazy thing
about this is nobody can go to any store
in Tulsa right now and buy any of these
shoes like these shoes were released and
as soon as they were released they were
they were gone okay
um what I found out is that the release
of these shoes was not the first time I
saw them I saw the reveal of these shoes
months even years before they ever were
released and the reveal of the shoe was
to give me a vision of what I wanted and
see when I get a vision it should make
me start preparing but when I when I had
an inkling of how much were they was
gonna cost us put my coins away but when
it made me start value I gave away some
shoes in preparation for what I had seen
because I knew one day it would be
really and what’s happening is so many
believers get a vision from God
specially in a time like we’re in right
now of praying and fasting and we get
visions of God doing the things that
nobody could do in life but we will not
wait for the release and the thing about
it is I need you to know this at the
moment that all of these shoes showed up
on the internet the moment they were
revealed people started making
counterfeits and see for everybody who
couldn’t wait on the release they
started buying replicas and so they got
a vision of it and somebody presented a
counterfeit and it was cheaper and it
was available oh and it was it was ready
for consumption but it would not have
the quality and the longevity of what
would be release it would be a temporary
fix that we would hope people would see
wasn’t the real thing and God began to
speak to me said Michael so many people
I’ve revealed to them their future I’ve
revealed to them pieces of what I want
to do I revealed to them that their
family would be safe I revealed to them
that they wouldn’t always be in
depression I revealed to them that they
are
not broke but they are in preparation
for the thing that I’ve called them –
manners I revealed it to him but they
stopped and they don’t just not wait for
the release they settle for the replica
and many of us have gone into a
relationship with replicas God said you
would be married but you settled for
Bobo who came up right after God gave
you a word he gave you the vision but
you didn’t wait on him God told you you
would own the business so you went out
and took out the loan that you weren’t
supposed to take out and God was gonna
bring you a business partner to partner
with you but you settled for the replica
and God said I need you to tell my
people that this is the year of release
what I said I’m gonna do but do not get
impatient and settle for the replica and
I know it’s hard because the replica if
I step out and I’m the first one with
the replica nobody will even know if
it’s fake because the real thing hasn’t
come yet
so for a season of time I can act like
this is the relationship God has for me
for a season I can act like this God
wanted me to move to this city but when
the release day comes and the real thing
is presented to you you will be able to
see the difference very quickly but
between the real thing and the replica
and I know I know I know I know I know
everybody in there has has different
things that they’ve settled for but I
need us to know this one principle write
it down the requirement from reveal to
release is time everybody say time some
of y’all just cussed that was a
four-letter word for you it’s gonna take
time I count so more people who tried
God for three days like like you gave
the world 10 years to build up the
dysfunction you have in your life
and you give God 10 days to change the
whole trajectory and this is where I’m
asking you
my only assignment is to let you know
that there is never a reveal that
doesn’t have stamp to it I’ll release so
if God is showing it to you it’s gonna
happen somebody say it’s gonna happen no
no no say like you mean it it’s gonna
happen it’s going to happen but you
cannot stop in the middle of the plan
that God it’s what they see the thing
about this is I don’t know from the
reveal to the release what’s working in
the background I don’t know if they’re
still trying to figure out the exact
letter so that it looks like what it
looked like in the head they don’t know
I’m telling you that there is so much
that God is trying to do on the inside
of us when he reveals it to us in a
vision before he releases us and I just
don’t want anybody in this room to
settle for the replica so so pastor
might give me some word for that I’m
glad that you asked go to Genesis 12 and
we’re gonna look at Abraham cuz my
question is for everybody in this room
what will you wait on God will you see
because Abraham had a reveal everybody
say reveal his reveal when God gave him
a vision happened in Genesis 12 look at
it verse 1 it says the Lord had said to
Abraham who said it who said it that’s
why we have to get in his face be in his
presence make time for him because he
will speak if we will listen he said the
Lord said to Abraham leave your native
country leave all your relatives leave
your father’s house he was telling them
to leave your comfortability and he said
and go to the land that I will show you
there’s so much to preach there but I
can’t I will make you into a great
nation this is the reveal this is the
vision he’s given him he said I will
bless you and make you famous
and you will be a blessing to others I
will bless those who bless you and I’ll
curse those who treat you with contempt
all the families of the earth will be
blessed through
you everybody say reveal Abraham how how
was he gonna bless all of the nations
through him at this moment Abraham
didn’t have nothing Abraham wasn’t in a
place where what God was saying was
lining up what what he was experiencing
that’s what vision is for vision is to
counteract your current situation vision
will never line up with what you’re
saying it’s the thing that’s supposed to
pull your faith to where God is taking
you and so when you look around in a
desert and God says I see Springs coming
up I see something out of nothing that’s
the vision you have to hold on to but
what do most of us do we do Abraham
starts to do we start to tell God what’s
happening instead of reminding God of
what he’s saying and see this is why I
love God cuz he’s so he’s so gracious
and merciful like when we get dumb and
we have Christian amnesia he comes back
to us and gives us another piece of the
vision see in Genesis 12 he gave him the
reveal but he said he didn’t get it yet
so I’m gonna revisit him and give him
another reveal in Genesis 13 verse 15 he
says I am giving you this land boy as
far as you can see to you and your
descendants now let me stop right there
he had no kids at this moment see how
can I have a descendant and I’m barren
God said I’m not looking at your
Berenice I’m looking at my fruitfulness
and my faithfulness and God will speak
in the middle of situations that do not
look right and he will speak to what it
will be he said I’m giving this to you
and your descendants as a permanent
possession and I will he said let me go
let me just tell you cuz you not
believing me I will give you so many
descendants they don’t be like the dust
of the earth they can’t be counted go no
no this is what I want you because you
don’t believe me huh go and walk through
the land in every direction north south
east and west just take a lap for I am
giving it to you
what happens when God says just walk in
any direction it’s yours you want the
business walk in that direction it’s
yours I’m revealing to you you want your
family he’ll call it out every day it’s
yours you you want you he said I’m
giving this to you he’s revealing it to
him right now right this point down the
reveal is a vision from God and I know
that’s very simple but I want you to
know when God gives you a vision he
tells us what to do with it
he says write it down and make it plain
that’s when it actually becomes vision
and some of y’all are so concerned about
it being some essay or something full
playing God tells us he doesn’t ever
give us the full plan he gives us parts
of it he gives us pieces of it because
he wants us to walk by faith and not by
so if you got the plan you’d be like
cool you ain’t even talked to God no
more if you got the full plan you would
just run with what he said he said but I
don’t want you to do this without me so
I’m gonna give you a piece I’m gonna
give you turn by turn instructions I’m
gonna tell you to move here and you’re
gonna say well where’s my job and you
move there and then he’s gonna say
there’s your job and the English say but
what about my this and he’s gonna say
and what about that this here it is he
said cuz he wants us to walk by faith
and so I want you to realize God never
gives you a vision for it not to come to
pass the reveal is so that you know
there is a vision for God God has a
purpose for you there is more than what
you’ve seen you are not supposed to die
here you are not supposed to give up
right here you are not supposed to throw
in the towel and say well I guess this
is what God has for me this is the year
of release and this is why I love God
because even when we start complaining
he’s still faithful to show us his
vision look at it Genesis chapter 15
this is this is um after he’s already
revealed to him what he wants to do
twice he’s so good he said some time
later what’s the middle of that word
some time okay some time later the Lord
spoke to Abram in a vision it’s so plain
and he said to him do not be afraid
Abram
for I will protect you and your reward
will be great I came to tell you do not
be afraid your name God is going to
protect you
and he is going to reward you greatly I
want you to say your name right there do
not be afraid do not be afraid do not be
afraid some of y’all just sitting there
with your mouths closed I’m telling you
to say it do not be afraid because fear
of failure has been some of the bondage
that many of you have been tied to well
what if I lose this and what if I lose
that and what if God doesn’t come
through in him my God said he’s the
supplier of every one of our needs you
either believe the word are you told and
he’s telling you today do not be afraid
he said for I’ll protect you what
happened when God is your bodyguard like
what kind of swag do you walk with when
God goes before you you don’t say it’s
almost like if God before you all I’m
saying to you right here is he said I’ll
protect you and your reward will be
great but some of y’all got that Abraham
spirit look at it look what he did but
I’m sovereign Lord what good are all
your blessings when I don’t even have a
son should you’ve given me no children I
know what I’m gonna do I’m gonna make
Eliezer of Damascus a servant in my
household he will inherit my wealth you
have given me no descendants you didn’t
do what you said you didn’t heal my
sickness you didn’t fulfill the promise
you didn’t bring me out of poverty so
I’ll just make what I see work I’ll just
make what I see work look at verse 4
then the Lord said to him I love this no
no now you know when somebody answers
the question like no like this is what I
imagined he said no your servant will
not be the heir for you will everybody
say I will he said you will have a son
of your own and he will be your heir
then the Lord took Abram outside and
said to him he’s giving him the reveal
again look up into the sky
I’m gonna give you something he God’s
just clownin I want to give you
something to remember my word I look up
count the stars then he gets a little
ornery if you can look I got it
count the stars if you can he know it’s
impossible he said that’s how many
descendants you will have and this is
where everything switched up for Abram
because God had to reveal his vision to
him three times before he did this thing
look at verse six and Abram believed he
believed the Lord and the Lord counted
him righteous because of his faith what
I’m trying to tell you right now is a
lot of you think that I’m just up here
blowing smoke and all I’m trying to do
is encourage your faith so that you can
believe that
that if you do not believe you cancel
out you notify the promise of God if you
do not bring faith to the equation you
are sitting there like God do a magic
trick and he said I am NOT Houdini I am
the God on high and I never do anything
without your participation so I will
reveal the vision but you gotta supply
the faith and that’s why I need to write
this point I need you to write this
point down the reveal must be met with
faith the reason why God’s continued to
show something that hasn’t come to pass
it’s because most of us meet his vision
with our doubt we we meet what he wants
to do
with all the reasons why it can’t happen
we use our weapon to shoot holes in the
plan that God is telling you he gonna do
you ain’t even got to do it you just
gotta believe it you don’t have to have
a money qualification you do not have to
have an education qualification he said
I do not call people who are qualified I
qualify people who answer the call I’m
looking around the whole earth trying to
see if I can find one person that will
believe me and have faith to see it
happen somebody say I have the faith
[Music]
Hebrews 11:6 and it is impossible to
please God without faith like like all
I’m telling you is that it’s really a
lot less complicated than we make it
like it really is all about if God said
it I can’t see it I don’t I don’t feel
it honestly this is uncomfortable this
out here believe in God just out here
trust in him just just out here and he
said all I need you that’s all that’s it
I just needed you to believe I needed
you to have the faith to believe me
because those who come to me anyone who
comes to me must believe is what the
word says put Hebrews 11:6 back up there
they got to see this it said it’s
impossible to please God without faith
any who anyone who wants to come to to
him must believe that God exists and
that he rewards those who sincerely
another translation says diligently seek
Him that’s why we’re on this fast that’s
not why we’re coming to God and saying
God fix everything and running to work
that’s why every day we’re pushing away
our plate pushing away social media
pushing away things because we’re
seeking God because I know you’re gonna
reward this seek I’m not praying just to
be praying I don’t want no religious
experience
waste spit like I want you to move in my
life and I have to remind myself of the
word too sometimes it gets dark and
sometimes it gets oblique and sometimes
it doesn’t look like it and sometimes I
look at my son who’s 3 years old and has
not said a word yet and I look at him
and I say God have you forgotten me he
said no no no son you have to remember
that the reveal date that I showed you
that he would be talking that he would
be declaring the word of the Lord that
that is connected to a release date and
my mission is to stay in faith to
believe God to remind myself of the word
MJ you will live and not die you will
speak and declare the work of the Lord
this ain’t gotta hide you up but my
faith is fix my faith is fish that’s the
reveal the vision is connected to a
release date and I know that’s my family
acting crazy up here because we’re
standing in believing what God said
we’ll come to pan I know you don’t need
nothing there bear but some of us can’t
make it without God some of us know
that’s the only solution will be what
God can do and that’s why I just got a
supply faith to it when God shows you a
picture when he gives you the vision it
should motivate you it shouldn’t it
shouldn’t make you fearful he should
give you a picture like okay it’s gonna
happen I don’t know the time but I know
God
let me write this point down the release
will everybody make that big and capital
the release will follow the reveal God
did not give me and give you the vision
for it not to come to pass
see this is the beautiful thing it was
Genesis 12 where God started talking to
Abraham about the reveal
make you a man that has great
descendants look up into the sky I mean
he’s giving him the reveal
Abraham 75 when he reveals his vision to
him put a pin in that I don’t care how
old you are the promise of God has no
expiration date
some of y’all have been ready to retire
and God sent me to tell you that it’s
time to refire he is not done with you
yeah I don’t care how old you are God
used Abraham and start to reveal his
vision to him at 75 years old but it’s
not until Genesis 21 that he fulfills
the release date look at it Genesis 21
the birth of Isaac the Lord kept his
word the Lord kept his word the Lord
thank you he kept his word and he did
for Sarah exactly what he promised she
became pregnant and she gave birth to a
son for Abraham in his old age he was
dusty Abraham’s was dusty and Sarah’s
room was Similac it was just powdered do
you hear what I’m saying but God does
not care how barren the situation is he
is one that can bring up anything okay
this happened don’t miss this last word
this happened at just the time
every reveal has stamped on it a time
when it will be released every time they
revealed these shoes when Steve job
revealed the iPhone he knew when the
release date was I’m here to tell you
that every time God gives you a vision
it has a release date attached to it our
job is to bring faith to it and wait
patiently faithfully steadfast focused
not on our situation but of the God who
controls the situation and wait for the
release date see the problem is we talk
about Abraham being a mighty man of
faith the father of our faith father
Abraham okay coo coo coo and I am
honored then okay cool it’s over you all
right so let’s praise right now okay
some of y’all went to children’s church
like me okay all right but they talk
about him being the father of many
nations but they don’t talk about when
he didn’t wait on God he revealed it in
Genesis 12 he released it in Genesis 21
and something I like okay 12 to 21
that’s not that many chapters that’ll
take about 30 minutes to read it’s 25
years between the reveal and there
really he’s 75 when God shows in the
vision he’s a hundred when God releases
it to one so Abraham done what many of
us did we we saw the reveal of what God
was going to do but we couldn’t wait on
him so we settled for the replica oh
yeah I don’t believe me yeah Genesis 16
Abraham and his wife Sarah thought that
God forgot about them and so they said
let’s take matters into our own hand
let’s try to make God’s plan
happen with our ability so so yeah
Abraham my mom is dusty and ain’t
nothing growing up in there I have this
young maid servant named Hagar she’s an
Egyptian why don’t we try to make what
God why don’t we go outside of God and
try to make what he wants happen and and
and let you sleep with her and Abraham
like if you say so I just want to be a
faithful husband you know if this is
what you’re saying
can somebody record this this what she
said all right and he sleeps with Hagar
and they have a son let me prove it to
you okay um this is Genesis 16 verse 15
it says so Hagar gave Abraham a son and
Abram named him Ishmael Abraham was 86
years old when Ishmael was born he
created a replica 14 years before the
release all I’m saying to you is the
title of my message I didn’t give it to
you until right now this is the title
right now in my last point don’t settle
for the replica wait for the release
I know it’s hard I know it’s frustrating
because you don’t know what time it’s
coming but that’s where we don’t give up
what we trust had gone cuz if he
revealed it to it I promise he’s gonna
release it to us my Bible says in
Philippians 1:6 it says and I am certain
I am confident in this that God who
began the good work within you will
continue his work until it’s finally
finished or until it is released how I’m
telling you today is that the replica
will never be able to compare to what
God really wants to release you know the
funny thing is this whole service I told
you for everybody they could see my
shoes
that these are my favorite Jordans ever
made the cap and gowns but I had a moan
and I know some of you I saw some of you
sneaker heads like why does he have
those and because these are replicas
these shoes right here are the knockoff
versions of these shoes I was able to
get these 6 months before these came out
I was able to walk around with people
and they thought I had something before
it had even come out because I felt like
maybe I wouldn’t be able to get these so
I took matters into my own hand and I
settled for the counterfeit when God was
gonna put it on somebody’s heart I
didn’t pay for these somebody from
Atlanta sent them to my doorstep no no
no I can’t make this stuff up I said how
much do I owe you
he said God told me to bless you with
these that the two hundred and eighty
dollars that you would have to spin
retail and the five hundred dollars you
would have to spin aftermarket I wasn’t
even going to require you to pay for
them but you thought I forgot about you
and you spent so own money on something
that is poor equality you spent your own
resource on something that couldn’t even
pass inspection if the creator came to
look at him all I’m telling you today
sir too many of us that have not
patiently waited on God and we’re trying
to convince people that the replica is
the real thing that we really have joy
but we’re faking that we that were happy
smoking weed but we’re really looking
for the peace that comes from the Prince
of Peace that we’re really trying to be
everything that God has called us to be
but we won’t wait
today so many of you your faith looks
like this a counterfeit and you know the
crazy thing is most of you would have
never ever known that these were
counterfeit because it was surrounded by
the real thing and that’s why so many
people try to get around people who know
God but they’re somewhere in the Bible
that he said he said they they they
called on me like they knew me but they
denied the very power of who I was
many of us have not let God change us
from the counterfeit to the real thing
but what God’s saying today is I want
you to release the counterfeit and I
want you to pick up the real thing it
feels different it’s tailor-made for you
it will last and God will get the glory
because you’re revealed ain’t is
attached to a release date will somebody
with faith give God a shout of praise in
this building oh come on if you’re gonna
wait on the release if you’re not gonna
settle for the counterfeit let me help
you so how how that’s the mic house sit
down I got one more point I don’t really
got a point I just want to give you how
okay one scripture Romans 12:12 one
scripture okay it says rejoice in our
confident hope who is our confident hope
I said who is our confident hope who is
our confident hope so I’m going to
rejoice that means I have to be reminded
I’m going to get joy again it’s going to
be a real joy sing I know what it looks
like but I’m gonna rejoice in what God
has said I’m going to renew my faith and
what God has told me I’m going to
rejoice in the Lord and when I begin to
rejoice in my confident hope yeah I
don’t see it right now I know you
revealed it to me but you haven’t
released it to me I got to remind my
of the word of God and rejoice in that
and they look what it says because this
is the point where most of us get messed
up be patient in trouble so it’s when
when I don’t feel it when I’m
uncomfortable that’s when I start going
for the counterfeits I’m lonely so I’m
gonna take this relationship that I know
is only about sex instead of waiting on
the man or the woman of God that he
called me to be with because I’m lonely
so I’m in trouble so now I try to go to
the counterfeit come on what he’s
telling us to do you can apply that to
any area of life he’s saying be patient
I’m coming through I want you to be
patient in trouble say because I’m the
Prince of Peace I will help you walk
this thing out and then he gives you one
more instruction in this one scripture
and he says keep on praying like keep on
praying say that with me everybody Keith
Oh praying when life is crazy
key Oh tre had an unexpected a be key Oh
pray my wife is gone key Oh Fran my
hormones gold key Oh Fran I lost the
fight cheap
oh right I can’t sleep at night but you
say okay
but somebody’s gotta have to result that
I keep on playing everybody play would
it gets too hard
you time okay
[Applause]
all I’m telling you it’s gonna be a
cycle that in this I’m gonna rejoice in
Jesus I’m gonna be patient and wait in
trouble and I’m a key Oh Frank
even when I’m hurt oh I don’t wanna fly
but if you’re gonna keep on praying if
you’re gonna wait on the release and not
settle for the replica will you give God
some praise in this building
[Applause]
[Music]
hands lift it all over this place
I’m praying that you will give us the
stamina you will give us the faith you
will give us the faithfulness to keep on
praying even as wearing this fat even as
we’re bringing things to you where it
looks dry and barren right now thank you
Father that you’re revealing to us the
vision you have for our life the vision
of us whole the vision of us happy the
vision of us walking in wealth and
blessing others the vision father of us
