In this day and age, we are either offending those around us with uncouth words or we’ve been offended by those we thought we could trust. If we’re offended, God will protect us from their stinging words and biting tongues and alleviate their weight from our souls. If we’re offending, the Lord will purge our spirits of our internal iniquities and restore us to a loving heart and open hand. In both instances, we prevent offense by forgiving one another — just as Christ forgave us on the cross! Turn that offense into a defense that gets you out of your feelings and into your faith!
[Music]
now to the word of god
[Music]
can i take just a moment and look at you
you just look so good
you don’t look like nothing you’ve been
through
you don’t look like you’ve been through
a storm a test a trial a tribulation a
pandemic a sickness a disease an
affliction a divorce a crisis a dilemma
a stress attack a trauma you’re just
looking so good with your saved and
sanctified self you look like jesus has
been keeping you
preserving you
taking away for you providing for you is
there anybody here that jesus has been
keeping you alive
through hell and hot water he’s been
keeping you alive
make some noise in this house let me
i believe with all my heart i have a
word from god
i believe it is a prophetic word
i believe it’s going to speak to
somebody and i believe it’s going to
deliver somebody before i give you my
scripture i want us to act like we’re
not at church i want us to act like
you’re talking to your best friend and
we’re hanging out at starbucks
and we’re having a latte
yeah we’re having a latte
i can’t smell it but i can drink it
yeah
we’re having a latte and we’re having it
with that special uh uh pumpkin bread
they make you know
yeah that bread that’s juicy when you
bite into it
that don’t have no calories in it
because you prayed in tongues and all
the calories just drip
you know the one i’m talking about come
on come on come on come on you know the
one i’m talking about glory to god and
we’re just going we’re going i’m going
to let you
hear me and jesus
have a conversation
about this text
it is in the gospel of saint luke
chapter 17 verse 1-10 i’m reading out of
the king james version no particular
reason i study out all of them but i
think i read out of king james because
it’s old and i’m old
and we’ve been hanging out so long it
ain’t no needing us breaking up now
then said he unto his disciples
shh he’s not talking to anybody but his
disciples
it is impossible but that offenses will
come but woe unto him through whom they
come
it were better for him that a milestone
were hanged about his neck and he cast
into the sea
then for him that that he should offend
one of these little ones take heed
to yourselves
if thy brother does trespass against he
rebuke him and if he repent
forgive him
and if he trespass against these seven
times in a day and seven times in the
day turning into thee and saying i
repent thou shalt forgive him this is my
favorite part and the apostle said unto
the lord
increase our
faith they said we’re all right we’ve
forgiven you one time but if it’s 7
times 70 you’re gonna have to do some
work on me to increase our faith
as being honest and then increase our
faith and the lord said if he had faith
as of a grain of mustard seed ye might
say unto this sycamine tree be thou
plucked up by the root and be thou
planted in the having
and be now planted in the sea and it
should obey him notice that this time
jesus says something that he says before
differently the first time he says if
you have the faith as of grain of a
mustard seed you shall speak to the
mountain
but this time he doesn’t use a mountain
as an analogy this time he says if you
have the faith as of a grain of a
mustard seed a mustard seed is so teensy
weensy itsy bitsy that it would fit
right in between my fingers like that he
said if you have the faith as of a grain
of a mustard seed you might say to this
sycamine tree
be thou plucked up by the
what
by the root
and be thou planted in the sea and it
should obey you
but which of you having a servant
plowing or feeding cattle will say unto
him by and by when he has come from the
field go and sit down to me and will not
rather say unto him make ready wherewith
i may suffer and gird thyself and serve
me till i have eaten and drunken and
afterward thou shall eat and drink does
he thank that servant because he did the
things which were commanded him i think
not so likewise ye when ye shall have
done all those things which are
commanded you when you have forgiven
seven times seventy
when you have done all those things that
i have commanded you say we are
unprofitable servants we have done that
which is our duty to do we’ve made the
lord add a blessing to the reading of
his word that’s more word than some of
y’all read in a month
that’ll last you
a day
so i’m going to use something i never
use i’m going to use a subject and a
subtopic because i couldn’t choose
between the two and one of them sounds
uh real cool in one of themselves real
intellectual so i’m going to use both of
them okay so the subject is defense
against
offenses
defense
against offenses
and the subtopic
is get out of your feelings
get out of your feelings so one of them
ought to grab you you pick the one you
lay
can we stand and have prayer before i go
into this
yeah
ooh i like the sound of all them seats
going up
and just sound rumbling like i’m in a
great big stadium
which i am
that’s so cool can y’all hear me up in
the balcony
yeah
y’all got in here didn’t you
glory to god
spirit of the living god
fall fresh like
do in the morning
[Music]
cascade upon us
open up our tendency
to be religious and superficial and
expose the innermost sanctums of our
heart that we might receive in just
digest and appropriate the word of god
i thank you in advance for what you’re
going to do here tonight at victory
church at potter’s house and all around
the world wherever people are listening
that lives would be changed that
marriages would be changed that
ministries would be changed that
workplaces would be changed that hearts
would be changed that the power of the
holy spirit would get so deep down
inside of us that we are freed on the
inside
freed in our hearts
thank you for what you’re going to do
in jesus name amen let me hear victory
praise
[Music]
come on show father’s house what a
victory praise now sir
[Applause]
you may be seated in the presence of the
lord
[Music]
i feel good
glory to god i feel like doing a split
i’m not gonna do it but i feel like
doing the split
i’m like james brown after he got in his
60s when he was in his 30s he did a
split you know what about what he got in
his 60s he kind of got it
yeah
yeah so that’s it that’s it
right there when i was a young man i
danced in the spirit i danced so long
they’d have to put me in the car and i’d
still be dancing
now that i’m older i act like i’m a
dance
[Applause]
yeah
fake em out
god is good
we are fearfully and marvelously made
created in christ jesus unto good works
we are unique authentic autonomous
individually defined
by the master himself
we are a designer’s original
in a category all by ourselves there has
never been
another you
and there will never be another you
again
even if you have a twin it’s not you
god has put so much detail in the
specificity that even your fingerprint
stands in a category all by itself
god himself shows up in the scriptures
the very first time we see him we see
him stooping over clay
the stooping god shows us that all
throughout the book of genesis god will
be stooping to reach us
he stoops down and he forms man from the
dust of the earth and man it’s just a
ceramic a clay pot until he breathes
the breath of life into him
and he becomes a living soul
the word living soul in the hebrew is
nefesh he becomes aware of himself
he’s not just alive like a rose bush or
a plant or collard greens or potatoes or
or
anything like i’m kind of hungry so you
know
all of my illustrations will be food
illustrations tonight uh
but but he becomes aware of himself if
you cut a rose bush it doesn’t scream
if if you cut celery it doesn’t cry
but because we are aware of ourselves
we have feelings
and the gift of feelings is unique we
are created in the likeness and the
image of god god has feelings
the bible says and the lord was angry
with wrath which means anger with fire
god has feelings
god has feeling jesus comes to lazarus
uh funeral service and weeps with mary
and martha god has feelings and we need
feelings i know this is a faith church
but we need feelings faith and feelings
are not necessarily
at odds with each other
we need feelings we were created to be a
feeling species
if we had no feelings we’d have no love
we would have no love and then how could
god ask us to love him with all our
heart and our mind and our soul if we
couldn’t feel anything
our feelings are a gift to us
besides the bible says we can be touched
he can be touched by the feelings of our
infirmity tempted in all points like as
we are yet without sin god cares how you
feel
and so he wants us to have feelings he
doesn’t want us to be led by feelings
but he wants us to have feelings
he wants us to have feelings so there is
a natural feeling we have when we birth
a child
there’s a natural protectiveness that we
have over a child you can take the teeny
any bitsiest woman in this room and mess
with her kid and she will turn into a
serial killer
i would rather fight any dude in the
room right now
than to fight an angry mama
because god equipped a mama with
feelings
i mean father’s about he’ll knock you
out too they’ll bust your chops but a
mama
will pull your teeth out of your gums
and look at you like you’re a chopped
liver and say don’t give near my child
again god gives us those feelings and
those instincts so that we might be
protective and so that we might be
corrective and so with that we might
have empathy and we need those feelings
these feelings cause children to be feel
loved and to feel safe and to feel
nurtured but the problem is those
feelings as many wonderful things as
they do
can also do negative things
we can get hurt in our feelings
we can get bruised in our feelings we
can get disappointed in our feelings we
can be forsaken in our feelings we can
be rejected in our feelings and not even
show anybody
because you can’t see a feeling if you
break your leg you can see a broken leg
if you break your arm you can see a
broken arm a broken heart cannot be seen
a broken heart cannot be seen and it is
impossible to
treat there is no prescription for a
broken heart
for a disappointed child who was not
raised by their parents there is no
prescription that will take away that
pain
there are feelings that we have to
manage
in order to be successful we have to
manage them like you have to manage
money you have to budget your feelings
you have to put guard rails around your
feelings you have to control your
feelings because if you listen at your
feelings you’ll make snap decisions that
you later regret
i often say never make permanent
decisions over temporary circumstances
because in a temporary moment of passion
you can make a permanent decision that
you live to regret
feelings are very very important to us
but they must be managed he became a
living soul means that he had a place to
warehouse his feelings
so that your feelings are not homeless
they are sheltered in your soulless man
not exhibited in your body
not shown in the way you walk and so if
you are wounded in your feelings you can
hide it and nobody can see it and nobody
can know it and you can smile and say
good morning
welcome to jcpenney’s
and nobody’s ever the wiser to the fact
that you have a broken heart
that you have a broken marriage
that you don’t feel comfortable on your
own job
that you wonder why your mother didn’t
raise you or why she treated your sister
better than she treated you or why they
never asked you to sing a solo
unless it’s so low
and it hurts your feelings and we have
all of these feelings and in the
beginning of the text when jesus is
talking to his disciples he is talking
to them about feelings
and his first thing when i started
reading this text i said lord you spent
all of those verses 11 verses talking to
us about how we feel and i i got teary
eyed and i said thank you for caring
about how i feel
thank you for caring about how i feel
because i’m not sure that people always
care about how you feel
we it is much easier for us to care
about how we feel
than it is to care about how others feel
to care about how others feel is empathy
but not everybody is equipped with the
ability to be empathetic
they can be selfish
they can be narcissistic they can be
tied into themselves and sometimes when
your feelings are wounded and you’re
surrounded by people that are oblivious
willingly or unwillingly to how you feel
you are alone even in a crowd
now jesus is preparing his disciples to
take over the world
and he does not want them to be petty
so he says it is impossible for you to
not have
a fence
it is impossible that means if you tip
around and be real quiet and real sweet
and you always do nice things for
everybody and you’re just as kind as
mother teresa
that does not exempt you
you will still get offended
that means that if you change your hair
and you change your dress you will still
get offended if you don’t believe it go
on social media
if you lose weight they say you’re too
skinny if you gain weight they say you
need to work out more if you dress
dollys they say you need to be simple if
you dress simple they say you need to
freshen up there’s always somebody out
of 8 billion people on the planet you
are gonna get on somebody’s nerves i
don’t care what you do
and you can’t manage eight billion
people’s feelings so jesus does not want
to raise up 12 disciples who think
victory is managing how other people
feel
oh that was good
because for some of you victory is
changing people’s minds
and you think that if i do this well
enough long enough right enough left
enough short enough to get tips in my
hair get tense in my hair get weaves in
my hair get my lips blown up get my jaw
so i can get my tummy tucked and take my
tummy and put it behind me then when i
[Applause]
did i say that out loud i didn’t mean to
say that out loud i’m sorry
we’re always trying to manage what
people think of us and jesus says it is
impossible he just comes right out the
top slaps us right across your face bam
it’s impossible
for you to live your life
and not
have offense
so you might as well quit running from
it you might as well quit making it the
achievement of your life to get
everybody to like you i don’t care what
you do somebody’s not gonna like you
that was one of the greatest lessons my
father taught me in an old red pickup
truck that had a red a bumper on it that
he had gotten from the junk yard and he
was coming back from a job and i was
coloring in the car and i was eight
years old and i was having a father-son
talk with him about some kid at school
that didn’t like me and he said boy i
don’t care what you do everybody is not
going to like you stay with me all of my
life because all of us want to be liked
and we want to be loved and we want to
live our lives without a fence because a
fence is stressful
it’s stressful it’s stressful yeah i
know you say you don’t care but it’s
stressful
people will say stuff to you that will
make your hair stop growing
and jesus says clearly it is unavoidable
there is no way to live your life
without a fence
if you chew long enough your teeth are
going to bite your tongue
i know you married harry and he’s six
foot two and fine and he’s got biceps
and triceps and recepts and deception
and everything all over and he’s so
gorgeous and he treats you like a lady
like you have never been treated before
in all of your life
and i know he’s so wonderful and he’s so
thoughtful and he’s so kind and when you
looked through in his eyes you saw all
the way down into his heart and you knew
that we would always
love each other forever and ever and
ever
until you found out that he leaves his
socks on the floor and he left his dirty
underwear in the bathroom and all of a
sudden you get an attitude about the way
he smacks his food at the table can you
please shut your mouth with your jew
you’re cute but you got no manners
it’s true
you’re going to have a friend you’re
going to have a fence it’s going to
happen sometime it’s going to happen to
you sometimes you’re going to go through
some things but god cares about your
emotional well-being because if you get
emotionally off it affects everything
else when we go on an interview they
want to know our iq our intellectual
quotient how intelligent are you there
is a measurement whereby we can measure
the quotient whereby your intelligence
exists okay
but there is also an eq
whereby you can begin to evaluate the
emotional quotient don’t slip over this
write this down because a lot of people
with great iqs have poor eqs
and you hire the intelligence but you
got to live with the eq
and by the time they get to wreaking
havoc on your job in your life and your
marriage with your kids you would take
somebody with a lower iq if they had a
little bit higher eq
can i get a witness up in here somewhere
you find out she’s cute but she’s crazy
she is built like a coke bottle but she
is empty as a beer drum and you find
yourself in this situation
where you got these people because you
don’t end up married to their iq you end
up living with their eq
yeah and jesus said people get offended
and how we manage the offense determines
the outcome of our lives
because there are no classes that teach
us how to manage our eq
there are no classes they don’t teach
that in school not even in universities
they don’t teach you how to manage your
emotions
they don’t teach you that at home they
teach you your abcs and which fork to
use
i know which fort to use my mother spent
hours teaching me which void to use
that’s a salad for it don’t eat with
that food no that’s a dessert spoon eat
with that dessert spoon does it hurt
spoon goes above the plate this is where
the glass goes this is where the bread
goes you got her bread plate she taught
me all that kind of stuff i don’t use
none of that
i eat your food my food any food that
gets in my proximity is at risk of
termination
i wish she would have spent a little bit
more time telling me how to manage
emotions
jesus says if it’s impossible to live
without offense we should talk to people
more about offense rather than acting
like once you come to jesus you will
never be offended nobody will ever get
in your nerves and nobody will ever take
your parking space some of you before
you get out of this building somebody is
going to get on your nerves and you got
to be okay with it you got to be able to
deal with it because they’re sitting up
talking to somebody and they’re holding
up traffic and you got to go to work at
seven o’clock in the morning and she’s
having a conversation and praying for
somebody out of her car window and you
can’t get around her and all of a sudden
your anointing dissipates out of your
baby toe and your eyes turn red and your
fangs come out and all of that yeah
you know i’m right about it
he cares so much about it
he cares so much about it and when your
feelings
are wounded or hurt or in pain the body
the human body i’ve done a lot of
research on this the human body cannot
differentiate between physical pain and
emotional pain
the same secretions that come out of
your body when you have emotional pain
like breaking your leg are the same
reactions that you have to a broken
heart
but no medicine
and so there is no treatment we can’t
reset it we can’t stabilize it we can’t
bring it back to order and jesus is
talking to his disciples and we get to
eavesdrop on the conversation
without the fbi
we get to hear jesus prepping his boys
to go out and do kingdom work
and he’s prepping them so that they
won’t be petty
because you can’t do great work massive
promised land work with a petty attitude
you have to have thick skin to operate
for the kingdom you have to be strong to
operate for the kingdom you have to have
some things in place that protect you
because if you’re not careful the
offense will become a distraction from
the calling
and you’ll put all your energy into
settling the offense rather than
focusing on the mission that the lord
has given you and your your wounded
feelings will be your sand ballad and
tobiah and you’ll give up on your
calling and come down off your wall to
have an argument with how you feel and
you think you got the victory but you
lost the victory because the disruption
was a distraction from the purpose of
god that was in your life so you be
steadfast
unmovable always abounding in the work
of the lord
and then he says i don’t want you
worrying about it because i’m going to
deal with it
he says it would have been better that a
millstone be tied around your neck and
you’ll be cast into the sea then for you
to hurt one of mine
he kind of sounds like my mother
my mother i called my mother down to the
school because i was having trouble at
school and the vice principal said she
was gonna call my mother and i said no
you’re not gonna call my mother i’m
gonna call my mother
a few minutes later this black woman
pulled up in this green imperial with
her wig on backwards
[Applause]
i’m not being funny this is the truth
her wig was on backwards and her eyes
were red like dracula and she had fangs
coming out of her mouth and i said
there’s my mama
[Applause]
it changed the whole meeting when mama
got out the car
god said i will ride up on you like your
mama if you hurt one of the least of
mine it would be better that a millstone
be tied around your neck and you’ll be
cast into the sea than to hurt one of my
people’s feelings their emotion that
ought to make you careful that i’ll make
you scared it ought to make you
a a steward of with a fiduciary
responsibility to manage the feelings of
the people in your life so that you
don’t become a brood and careless with
the way you talk to each other because
god is watching how you talk to me and
even though i don’t get upset he gets
upset and vengeance is not mine but it’s
his and the lord says i will repay you
if you mistreat not just the big people
on the front row but the people where
[Music]
back in the balcony he says i care
whatever you do to the least of mine to
the parking lot attendant you have done
it unto me
oh that’s cool
that means god is my security
i don’t have to have security god is my
security that he’s my protection and
that means that i don’t have to fight
back that means the battle is not mine
it belongs to the lord it means i don’t
have to fill my heart with anger and
getting even and coming up with schemes
to get back at you or straighten you out
it means that the battle belongs to god
and god will deal with you all by
himself because he doesn’t want me
distracted from healing the sick and
raising the dead and turning water into
wine and preaching the gospel and
loosing the bound and setting the copter
free he doesn’t want me to be distracted
from laying hands on people and seeing
tumors dissipate out of their body he
doesn’t want me to be distracted from my
divine assignment to preach the gospel
all over the world to change the world
to win people to jesus christ and i
can’t win you to a loving god with an
angry heart
while i’m getting on your nerves i might
as well go a little deeper
he warns husbands god cares how you
treat your wife
god said if you don’t treat your wife a
certain kind of way he said your prayers
will be hindered
that’s scary god says i will hinder your
prayers that means i’m watching even
though you’re bigger than her and even
though she in most cases and
aj
in most cases uh
in many cases see god says i will
defend her
by shutting up the heavens
and stop everything from going right
because of the way you talk
to her
and if you don’t want your prayers
hindered
he says
exercise whatever influence you have
in a measured way because i’m watching
and i’m like the lord when i meet people
for the first time and i don’t know them
i don’t watch how they treat important
people
i watch how they treat people that they
think are not important
i watch how they treat the waitress and
the bus driver and the uber driver and
stuff like that because it lets me know
how you would treat me if you ever got
the upper hand and i choose my friends
by the way they treat people they think
they don’t need because the moment they
stop meeting you they will treat you
that way too oh this is worth the whole
message this part right there is worth
the whole message so pay attention if
you’re trying to figure out who to date
don’t watch how how he treats you
everybody treats everybody good on a day
look for how he treats the waitress look
how how he treats a person who parks
your car look at how he talks to people
that he thinks he doesn’t need or that
she thinks she doesn’t need and you’ll
have a clue into the rhythm with which
she handles her emotion because one
thing about crazy it will peak out
it will sneak out you might get covered
up for about a two or three days but by
that third week it will start giving you
glimpses you know i’m cute but i will go
off on you and her head starts spinning
around like the exorcist as she attacks
the waitress just because the stake is
too done just start taking notes right
there you are in trouble boy you’re
going to be in trouble
jesus cares how you treat people you
think you don’t need he’s watching how
you handle them he’s watching how you
treat them anybody can treat somebody
good when you want a loan when you need
an equity loan when you need an
investment when you need a job when you
need some help when you’re trying to go
up but very few people take the time to
respect the janitor the butcher the
baker the candlestick maker the
attendant you got to treat people with
the same dignity because that is the
commandment of the lord toward you
so when jesus begins to talk about this
he talks about it from three
perspectives he talks about his
protection he talks about his purging
and he talks about his provision his
protection his purging and his
prevention and i just got to talk about
how god protects you you might to the
defenseless to the broken to the wounded
to the rejected to the ostracized to the
person who has a scarlet letter on their
head i want you to lift up your head
jesus is watching out for you for the
person who has no recourse and can’t
afford help and can’t get the
breakthrough that they need jesus is
watching out for you to the person who’s
tied up in an abusive relationship jesus
is watching out for you to the person
who’s mistreated on the job and in their
neighborhood and in their life jesus is
watching out for you and you may not see
it but sooner or later god is gonna
handle the person that’s mishandling you
glory to god i feel like shouting right
now i feel like praising him right now i
feel like giving him the victory right
now because if god before you he’s more
than the world against you if god is on
your side he’ll make a way out of no way
if god is on your side he will stop the
lion from biting you the fire from
burning you he will stop the enemy from
destroying you he’ll stop the snake from
biting you he’ll stop the sea from
drowning you if god is on your side
he’ll make a way in the middle of the
desert he’ll bring you water out of a
rock he’ll open up the red sea to get
you across if god is on your side he’ll
heal you by lifting up a serpent in the
wilderness if god is on your side you
can fight the philistines with the
jawbone of his ass if god is on your
side he will make a way out of nowhere
he’ll put streams in the middle of your
desert if god is on your side he will
lift your head up he will renew your
strength he will encourage your heart he
will renew your spirit if god is on your
side he will bring you out from under
the power of the enemy he will heal you
even when the doctor says no if god is
on your side he will change the records
in the accountant he will lift your head
up he will make your feet his hind’s
feet when you should have fell over
he’ll stiffen you to be able to stand if
god is on your side he’ll bring your
fever down he’ll bring your courage up
he’ll strengthen your will and your
tenacity if god is on your side
somebody shout if god
[Applause]
so the first thing jesus does is deal
with the people who’ve been dealing with
us
who have injured us not necessarily
physically but emotionally to alleviate
us from the responsibility
and the heavy weight
that vengeance takes
on the human soul
it takes so much weight
to be vengeful
and satan tempts us
to be vengeful
even if it’s in little ways
like rolling your eyes when they come in
the room
and i will admit i’ve had some struggles
because when you get on my nerves i kind
of want you to know it
and i don’t want to say anything where i
can be quoted but my eyes cannot be
quoted so i close my lips and go
[Applause]
and then he gets on me
i said you don’t have anything to do
with that
i will handle that
and the moment he gets to addressing my
enemies
now he now brings it home to me so he
moves away from just talking about
protection to purging and he says if
your brother has sinned against you got
on against you or has hurt you or has
offended you and the reason i’m
preaching about this is because we are
living in an era of offense
everybody’s offended
you can’t say nothing about nothing that
don’t make somebody mad
you can tweet two plus two is four
and somebody come back and say who says
who made you an expert on two plus two b
and four it don’t really have to be four
everybody’s offended rich folks are
offended poor folks are offended black
folks are offended white folks are
offended everybody’s offended the women
are offended the men are offended now
we’ve raised up a bunch of kids and the
kids are offended everybody’s offended
now we got to live in the same house
with a bunch of offended people
everybody’s got something against
everybody and then we come to church and
say as for me and my house we will serve
the lord are you kidding me
get out of here you and your house
aren’t even speaking your daughter is
mad and her mama the dog bit the cat the
cat ate the goldfish the husband and the
wife ain’t speaking and don’t you bring
your mammy-in-law back over into this
house on another thanksgiving i’ll send
her a plate
[Applause]
everybody’s offended
and we live in a society that makes a
career at keeping us mad at each other
we live in a society that pits us
against each other and tells us what
each other thinks and we believe in
and so we get offended over what we
heard somebody thought and how they
think and how they feel and they’ll find
one dumb somebody that represents that
people group that’ll come up and say
something stupid and then you’ll judge
millions and millions of people on that
one individual and be offended over one
individual
i’ve never seen such a time where you
can’t say anything
everybody’s offended everybody’s upset
everybody’s nerves are on edge
everybody’s upset about something you
don’t even know what you’re upset about
we are living in the land of offense and
we have a god who has told us not to
allow offense to get in our spirit
because you can’t have great worship and
be offended it affects your harmony flow
it affects your connectivity it affects
how the holy spirit invades the room it
matters whether you get along with other
singers it matters whether the drummer
likes a guitar player it changes the
atmosphere when there’s ought against
your brother the bible said leave your
gift at the altar i don’t care how
gifted you are if you’ve got a bad
attitude god said i don’t want your gift
until you get that bilateral connection
that horizontal connection together god
said i don’t want to hear no more
vertical stuff coming out of your mouth
as long as you’re not speaking to the
person that you’re shouting beside god
says it does matter how you feel about
one another
can i go deeper
so then he says to the offended
he has moved away from the offender to
talking to the offended and when he
talks to the offended he talks to us
about how to get the contamination out
because it’s easy to get contaminated if
there’s no way to escape offense
then everybody in here has been offended
at some time another
can we be honest it’s hard to get church
people to be honest because we have our
reputation at stake and we don’t want
anybody to know that we’re human but to
all the real people in the room
hold your hand up if you’ve ever been
offended
[Applause]
i have been offended
sometimes i don’t read the comments
because when i’m offended i have a
tendency to say something back
and i got a struggle down inside of
myself to shut up
cause i can think of a whole lot of good
stuff to say back to you and even when i
do say something back i have to edit it
so that i can keep my day job
cause if i let the full
theory of what i could say back would
just let it flow hit the organ markets
marcus would have to play the organ
behind me when i got to telling you what
i thought about you i got to tune up
and so i have to shut my mouth
now jesus moves from talking to the
offender
to talking to the offended
and he says if someone offends you
and you confront them
i want to stop there
because most of us don’t have the
courage to confront the person we’re
offended with
you can confront people without being
confrontational
burying stuff doesn’t heal it
covered wounds don’t heal well
oh i struck something that died
i felt it
at least 10 couples had a seizure
i mean absolutely
there’s an absolute
just a seizure right there on the floor
covering it up will never make it better
you have to have the courage to speak up
and don’t let anybody take your voice
away don’t let anybody out talk you to
the point that they take your voice away
because just because you’re out talking
doesn’t mean you changed my mind
jesus said confront them
and if they repent
forgive them
and the disciples was cool with that
they were cool with that
and then he messed around and said and
if they do it again and again and again
and again and again and then he gave him
a number 70 times 70
and they did some quick math and said
increase our faith
because i’m good on like maybe a couple
of times or three times or maybe even
seven times but when you go from
addition to multiplication i’m not sure
that i don’t need a touch of the lord to
help me to be able to do that because
seven times 70 lord that’s getting like
like way up into some big numbers there
and i don’t know i don’t know i mean i
love you and everything but i don’t know
i mean i’m not saying that i won’t do it
but i’m not sure that i will do it and
so i don’t want to over commit myself
and i don’t want to lie to you because
you know everything from the beginning
and i don’t want to offend anybody but i
just don’t know if i can sign up for 7
times 70 maybe 3 times 70 but 7 times 70
might be above my quota
and then they said to him
increase
our faith
and i said to myself
what does faith
have to do with forgiveness
the disciples saw faith
and forgiveness
interconnected
they said in order for me to develop
the ability
the ability to be able to purge my heart
of the way i feel i need faith
i need
to believe
that nothing you did stop me from
getting there
i need to believe
that my destiny is not altered by the
things you said or did or left or didn’t
give me i need to decide irrevocably
that the the the promises of god are yay
and amen and that no man or no woman
coming or going or leaving or staying or
paying or caring can stop me from
turning out at the destination that god
has for me in fact i need to believe
that it was good for me that i was
afflicted some kind of way god used what
you did to fertilize my dreams and i
became stronger now and richer now and
better now and fuller now and i’ve got
to learn how to glory in tribulation
i’ve got to dance when i’m falsely
accused i’ve got to learn how to praise
god even when you don’t like me my
defense is to believe god and say devil
you meant it for evil but god made it
good to god be the glory you threw me in
the pit you threw me in potiphar’s house
you put me in prison and i landed the
prince of egypt i still got to where i
was trying to go you didn’t help me but
i made it you lied on me and i made it
you betrayed me and i made it you left
me and i made it you excommunicated me
from the family and i made it you said i
was dead but i’m back
i’m back i’m back i’m back is there
anybody that made it back through
something have you been through
something and all hell was breaking
loose and they thought you wasn’t gonna
make it jump on your feet and holla i’m

[Applause]
[Music]
i’m back i’m back i’m back like lazarus
is back from the dead i’m back like the
woman with the issue of blood is healed
from her infirmity i’m back like luke
13. i straighten up myself and got
myself together now you talking about a
victory when you’ve been through hell

prison and been through a storm and been

something and god brought you out to put
your hands together open your mouth

on your head let hell know i made it
anyway i made it anyway to god be the
glory for the things he has done

all right
hell gets nervous hell gets nervous when
you start talking faith demons start
trembling when you start talking faith

talking faith sickness loses this grip

pressure comes down when you start
talking faith plumers shrink in your
body when you start talking faith i wish

[Applause]
so
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
sit with me i’m not through yet
sit with me
i’m just getting hot now
glory to god
i just kicked into the zone baby
don’t you see them devils running out
that door right now don’t you see them
sleeping out of that window don’t you
see them devils getting back out of the
way
[Applause]
when jesus says none but the pure in
heart
shall see god
the word pure
comes from a greek word
where we get capped
catheters is a word the root word is
cath where we get catheter
none but the pure in heart
nobody but the people who have a
catheter in their heart
shall see god
a catheter
whereby they measure their heart to make
sure that the heart is flowing
blood properly and there’s no blockages
a catheter i won’t tell you about the
other usage but
all the men said ouch
yeah yeah the catheters are designed
that you have a flow
and god says i want your heart
to be open to a flow
and i don’t want you to allow any
blockages
to get in your heart because if you
allow a blockage to get in your heart it
will stop you from seeing god
none but the pure in heart
shall see god
if that’s not enough motivation
to make you get it out of you
i don’t know what he is
i’m not sure whether he meant none but
the pure in heart shall go to heaven
but i am sure that he means
you won’t be able to see god in your
situation
if your heart is blocked up with
unforgiveness
and i need to see god to figure out how
to make it through the wilderness so i
can move when he moves so i can walk
when he walks so i can flow when he
flows so i can step when he steps i
gotta see god if i don’t see you because
he shows me the path his word is a lamp
unto my feet and a light unto my pathway
and if i let something get in my
catheter
a catheter in my heart
will affect my eyes
god says none but the pure in heart
shall see
god
god says if you get it in your heart it
will hinder your vision
so the enemy sends things to get in your
heart
to shut down your vision
oh my god
this is so good i’m gonna shout out my
own preacher
god said i made your heart to flow
i made your heart to flow unrestricted
i don’t want you to gather plaque or
anything else that slows the flow
because everything god does
is in a flow
everything god created was in a flow
when god created the earth he created it
in a flow
and the river spread the streams and the
streams fed the lakes and the lakes fed
the ocean and god didn’t create new
water he just left his flow he goes up
it rains down it goes up it rains down
it’s a flow everything god created has a
flow when god created man from the dust
of the earth he didn’t have to keep
creating blood he let the blood flow
through the most elaborate highway
system that you call the cardiovascular
system your blood was made to flow and i
don’t have to check your heart to see if
your flow is right i can touch your
wrists and tell what’s going on in your
heart because the pulse the rhythm of
your pulse tells me the activity of your
heart and god said if things are
shutting down the first thing i want you
to do is check your heart what have you
allowed to get in your heart that has
closed down your vision
so if i was the devil and i wanted to
shut down your vision i wouldn’t have to
attack your eyes
if none of the pure in heart shall see
god then all it had to do is contaminate
your heart
until you lost your vision
and if you lost your vision
you couldn’t find your way out and the
reason jesus says 7 times 70 isn’t a
particular number that he’s after he’s
talking about keeping your heart open so
that whatever happens you keep flowing
you keep flowing
you might have the feeling but as
quickly as you can you let it flow out
you don’t let things stay in and
contaminate you and block you let me
show you how quick jesus was
they beat him until he was
unrecognizable
they beat him until his entrails were
hanging out they beat him so long that
josephus says he should have died on the
whipping post but had he died on the
whipping post we wouldn’t have been
redeemed because the bible said cursed
is he that hangs on the tree not the
whipping post so he fought death on the
whipping post refusing to die but when
they hung him high and stretched him
wide and nailed him in his right hand
and nailed him in his left wrist and
nailed his feet together and when they
put him up on the cross
jesus is not on the cross cussing at him
yelling at him telling him i curse your
unborn children i curse your future i
curse your destiny i curse your mama
jesus didn’t say that i probably would
have said that jesus did
don’t judge me
jesus wouldn’t say that instead of
allowing them to contaminate his heart
while they are killing him
he says father
forgive them for they know not what they
do he said i’m going to keep my heart
open no matter what i go through i’m
going to keep loving i’m going to keep
my nature you’re not going to change my
nature from being the person that i am
you’re not going to turn the lamb into a
lion i could call 10 000 angels and kill
every last one of you but i’m not gonna
do it because a lion cannot deliver the
people i’ve got to be a lamb to get this
done and in order to be a lamb i got to
forgive you while you’re sticking nails
in my hand oh my god that’s shouting
stuff glory to god i wish i had me a
southern church in here right now
i’m gonna outsmart the devil i’m gonna
outsmart the devil you’re trying to
change my nature you’re trying to turn
me into a lion but i can’t redeem as a
lion i can only redeem as a lamb and in
order to be a lamb even though you’re
nailing me i’m going to forgive you
because i understand that it’s not you
that’s doing it it’s the spirit of the
enemy that’s working through you and i
ask my father to forgive you for hurting
me because i know it really wasn’t you
if you knew what you were doing you
wouldn’t hurt me like that you’re just
carrying out orders and the orders are
coming from satan and i’m under attack
and why would i fight the soldier when
the war is not with the soldier it’s
with the enemy and the enemy is trying
to get me to mess up what i’m about to
do on the cross i don’t know who i’m
talking to but the enemy is trying to
mess up what you’re about to do in your
ministry and the reason you’re up under
attack is that he wants you to
contaminate your heart and the lord sent
me from palace to tell you don’t you do
it don’t get bitter don’t get even don’t
get mad don’t get upset don’t respond
don’t react hold your peace i know you
look weak i know you look helpless i
know you know something you could say i
know you can fight i know you can defend
yourself but this is not a battle that
you’re gonna win with your fist for we
wrestle not against flesh and blood but
against powers and principalities and
spiritual wickedness in high places the
weapons that we use are not carnal you
got a weapon to fight with and there
jesus is bleeding to death on the cross
talking about father forgive them he’s
interceding for murderers
[Applause]
glory to
god that’s what he means by 7 times 70.
later in the scriptures he will tell us
less a root of bitterness
defile you
a root
a root
[Music]
a bitterness
de value
they gave him frankincense and myrrh
which was roots so there are roots
that can anesthetize the pain
and there are other roots
that can defile you
are you carrying
a root
of bitterness
because if you are
it will
defile you
i’m almost where i want to be you still
with me
you’re not tired of me yet
and and so they said lord
increase our faith
increase our faith till we believe you
when our feelings are hurt
anybody can believe you when they’re
happy
increase our faith till we believe you
when we’re in pain
when the nails are in our wrist
when we’ve been publicly humiliated
when we are at our wit’s end
increase our faith to believe that some
good is going to come out of this
i remember one time i was under attack
and it was real bad and it was real
painful and it’s the only time in my
life i’ve ever been curled up in the
corner of the floor crying and just just
beside myself and i took a walk in my
backyard and i was crying and i was
walking in the backyard and i was
talking to god and i said i don’t know
why you let this happen to me and i
don’t know why you’re letting this go on
in my life and i don’t know why you
allowed me to go through what i’m going
through i said but i want you to know
that i trust you
i trust you
i trust you
and if you ordered me to go through this
i’ll go through whatever you want me to
go through to be whoever you want me to
be cause i know you love me and i know
you know what’s best for me and though
you slay me yet will i trust you and i
was crying and i couldn’t hardly even
see the path i was walking on but i told
god i will pass this test because i
trust you i trust you when things go
right i trust you when things go wrong i
trust you when you make me happy i trust
you when you make me cry because i am
convinced because of calvary that you’re
in love with me and you can’t be in love
with me and do something that’s going to
end up bad and i trust you i trust you
with tears running down my face i trust
you and the more i said i trust you the
more demons begin to scream and shake i
trust you i don’t understand you but i
trust you i don’t see the plan but i
trust you you’ve broken my heart but i
trust you it’s painful but i trust you i
want to speak to everybody who’s ever
lost anybody lost anything lost a loved
one went through a hard time you don’t
have to understand god to trust him you
need to let hell know i trust him i
trust him that some kind of way this is
gonna work for my good if you’ve been
going through a very painful place slip
your hands up in the air and give god a
praise that you trust him i trust you i
trust you in this season i trust you in
this season i trust you when i lose my
job i trust you when my loan didn’t
approve i trust you when people rise up
against you i trust you when things
didn’t turn out the way i wanted them to
turn out i trust you when i didn’t bring
a medal home from the olympics i trust
you when i fumbled the ball on the field
i still trust you i trust you order my
steps in your word dear lord order my
steps in your word order my steps in
your word dear lord order your order my
steps in your word order my steps in
your word somebody stomp your foot order
my steps order my steps order my steps
order my steps i won’t break my cadence
i won’t break my flow i won’t break my
movement i won’t break my regimen i
won’t break my future i’m gonna keep on
doing what you told me to do dry these
tears up i can’t stop crying you gotta
try these tears up but if you drive up
i’ll preach for you if you drive up i’ll
sing for you if you drive up i’ll dance
for you if you’re driving about
something if you drive about sing for
you if you drive up i’ll run for you if
you drive up i’ll leap for you if you
drive up i’ll preach the gospel all over
the world if you drive up i’ll teach
bible clan in other nations or country
if you drive up i’ll help the poor if
you drive up i’ll feed the hungry if you
drive up i’ll close the naked if you’re
drunk
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so he deals with us is this good
so so he dealt with us protection he
dealt with us as purging and then he
deals with us with prevention
and this is the prevention part and it’s
kind of weird he says if you have the
faith
increase our faith lord
they thought the bigger the faith the
better the fight
and jesus is not going to take that much
faith
he said if you have the faith as of a
grain of mustard seed
now watch this
before he said you shall speak to the
mountain
and the mountain shall be cast into the
sea
but this time he said if you have the
faith as a grain of mustard seed you
shall speak to a sycamine tree
and command it to be cast into the ocean
and it will be cast into the ocean and
it will be removed and i said
why did you go from a mountain
to a tree
and he said
because a mountain has no roots
so i started digging into a cigarette
tree and i want to tell you can i tell
you can i tell anybody anybody want to
know what cigarette a sycamine tree is a
very unique tree
it’s not that the roots grow deep only
about 24 inches deep into the earth but
they grow wide
they grow very wide they take over
territory
and when they grow wide they twist and
tangle
and so it is almost impossible to uproot
the tree
because the roots are twisted and
wide so when a sycamine tree is growing
it is not the trunk you have to worry
about
it’s the root
and jesus is saying oh i feel the holy
ghost
god said if you have the faith as of a
grain of mustard seed
i will demolish the system
that has you stuck
you tried to shake yourself loose and
you couldn’t get loose you tried to pray
yourself loose and you couldn’t get
loose you tried to talk yourself out of
it and you couldn’t get loose the reason
you couldn’t get loose is that your
roots are intertwined
the only thing that will untangle your
roots is your conviction of faith in god
he said if you have the faith as of a
grain of mustard seed i will untangle
the system
can i go into the system
you’re hurt over your husband because
your husband hurts you
but it’s rooted into something that
happened with your father
and now all of a sudden everybody that
reminds you of your father gets tied
into the system
and now you’re raising a son and he’s
taking on characteristics
like your ex-husband
and the enemy is tangling your roots
am i helping somebody
if i’m helping you holler at me
if you will notice
your life
has a system of attack
there is something consistent in the dna
of the things that happen to you
it is the roots of the sycamine tree
and they get tangled up
until you can’t take what you can’t tell
one from another
and the same thing that happened to you
before is happening to you again and the
thing that happened to your father is
happening to you and the thing that your
uncle went through is now happening to
your son and you can see a pattern
because the sycamine roots go wild
they go wide they touch your father they
touch your wife they touch your son they
touch your nephew they touch your nieces
they affect your job they affect your
economy they affect your leadership they
affect every area of your life it
affects how you handle money it affects
your business it affects your future
because the roots are intertwined
that’s why jesus didn’t ask for the
mountain
because when it comes to forgiveness
mountains don’t have roots
and unforgiveness has roots and the
roots are the roots of bitterness
and the bitterness gets so entangled
that sometimes you even forget what you
mad about
you’re just angry it’s all tangled up
together
but the holy spirit said tonight
i’m gonna untangle your roots
i’m gonna set you free i’m going to
bring you to a place of wholeness i’m
going to bring you to a place of healing
i’m going to bring you to a place of
restoration i’m going to untangle
patterns that have been going on for
generations and generations in your life
this didn’t even start with you this
started with your mother and your
grandmother this started with your
grandfather and your granddaddy and the
roots have gone wide and your past is
trying to reach over and mess up your
future but the devil is alive this is
going to be a root untangling service
this is going to be a root untangling
meeting you watching on the internet
your roots are about to be untangled
things that have been in your life and
you couldn’t get loose and they’re all
in the ground and it’s everywhere and
it’s all tied up and it’s around rocks
and it’s around ridges and it’s around
dry places and you love the lord but you
can’t get loose and you love jesus but
you can’t get loose and you love your
son but you can’t tell him and you love
your wife but you can’t express it and
you love what you do but ever all hell
is breaking loose on your job and it’s
affecting every area of your life if
you’re seeing the same spirit show up in
different dimensions of your life it’s
because your life is the sycamine tree
but the lord sent me here tonight to
preach a liberating word that’s about to
loose you from the crown of your head to
the soles of your feet somebody jump up
on your feet like you lost your mind
give me more power
[Applause]
somebody trip up on your feet like you
lost your mind somebody jump up on your
feet like you lost your mind
somebody jump up on your feet like you
lost your mind
somebody jump up on your feet like you
lost your mind
yes
yes
yes
yes
[Music]
you’ve been a prisoner in your own head
you’ve been a prisoner in your own
emotion you’ve been a prisoner in your
own thoughts it’s not that you don’t
look free on the outside good morning
welcome to jcpenney’s it doesn’t look
like everything is going well it looks
like everything is going fine but you
know that down on the inside you’ve been
tangled up in your mind in your spirit
and late at night when everybody else is
sleep you’re awake at night it’s
affecting your rest it’s affecting your
peace it’s affecting your mind but
tonight is your night that’s why the
devil didn’t want you to get in here
tonight because tonight is your night
for a breakthrough the spirit of the
living god
the spirit of the living god
the spirit of the living god the spirit
of the living god the spirit of the
living god is in this place tonight
we’re going to take the faith as of a
grain of mustard seed look at your
neighbors and you just need a little bit
of faith
you just need a little bit of faith

little bit of faith if you get out a
little bit of faith tonight god’s gonna
destroy the system that’s trying to
destroy you the odds are against you the
roots are against you the situation is
against you the times are against you
but greater is he that is in you
than he that’s in the world there’s a
greater power that’s about to take over
your life there’s a greater power that’s
about to heal your mind your body
your emotions your health

place

place tonight

you no more space we will give you no
more room we will give you no more power
somebody’s eyes are opening up
somebody’s vision is coming back
somebody’s commitment is being stirred
the spirit of the lord is here can i oh
can i preach like i do at home i feel
the anointing of the holy ghost in this
place i feel a screaming of demonic
warfare that’s been working a system
against you all of your life
you’re not bound you’re not tied you’re
not tangled you’re not an inmate you’re
not alone
you’ve been feeling by yourself but the
holy ghost said you’re not by yourself
god is getting ready to demolish the
whole system and not only is he gonna
pull the tree up
but he’s gonna cast it into the sea
if you’re in this place
and you got something
that needs to be cast into the sea if
you’re in this place and you’ve been
carrying a pain
there’s too much for you to bear if
you’re in this place and you’ve been
wounded for a while i want you to seize
the anointing
that is in this room
to untangle yourself
and set yourself free
where the spirit of the lord is
there is liberty
that’s going to be liberty
in this place tonight
there’s going to be liberty online
every time you try to make a move
the devil tries to shut you down but the
devil is alive
god is about to uproot
that thing out of your life
and set you free
i need a hundred people in this room
that feel god pulling the sycamine tree
out of your life
to give god a praise
i feel the anointing of the holy ghost
in this place i gotta be free
i gotta come out of this i gotta get
loose
i gotta be whole
i gotta be delivered whatever it takes
[Applause]
whatever it takes
to get me out of this
i got to be free
i didn’t come this far to be bound i
didn’t come this far to be tangled i
didn’t come this far to be blind i
didn’t come this far to go back
never you’re a liar
tonight is my night
in the name of jesus
i declare liberty
all over this house
for the next three minutes
everything that god appraised
get it out get it out
loose your daughter
loose your son
lose your job
lose your finances
lose your peace
lose your joy lose your vision
lose your anointing
lose your calling
i can’t hear you
i can’t hear you
[Music]
glory to god
love three people and tell them i’m free
i’m free
my roots are loose
my mind is loose my heart is loose
[Music]
i feel that old-fashioned anointing of
the holy spirit in this place
somebody’s got a breakthrough
the devil is mad
hell is upset
the enemy had a system that’s been
operating in your life
but you’re going to be the first
generation
not to have a sycamine tree
i rebuke the tree
that’s part of your life
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so they’re closed
tonight
the defense
for an offense
is the discovery
of mustard seed faith
if you believe god just a little bit
the entire
system
there’s a system working against you
there’s a
system working against you
the way you were raised the things you
came through the things that happened to
you were all designed
to take over territory
god
is going to move the tree
[Applause]
[Music]
i want everybody
in this place
that this message spoke to
in a special way
and you said my god that man is talking
to me
god put an anointing on me for you
you might be watching online but the
anointing
is for you
you don’t have to spend the rest of your
life tied up to a dead root
young people
you don’t have to start your life off
entangled
and angry
and bitter and hurt
there are some young people in here with
old people’s problems
you’ve seen stuff that a young person
should have never seen
you’ve been through things that people
your age should have never gone through
and you are here under duress
against all odds
it’s a miracle that you’re here
and god wants to pull your sycamine tree
up by the root
there are couples in here you were meant
to be power couples in the kingdom of
god
and that’s why the enemy fights you so
and you’ve been hurt and you haven’t
been able to get over the hurt
you’ve said all the right things but the
rooting system is so complicated that
you’re tied to it
there are people in this room who have
incurred injuries betrayals
disappointments that left you wounded
and every time you see certain people
you feel a certain way but you smile and
you hide it the enemy is trying to plant
a root on you
if you are in any of those categories
come as close to this altar as you can
don’t worry about what you got on don’t
worry about what people say don’t worry
about what they think don’t worry about
it don’t worry about it don’t worry
about it don’t worry about it don’t
worry about it the only thing we want
the only thing we want
is to untangle this route
we got to untangle this route
this route is wide
this route is
this route is complicated
this route is far-fetched
and you love jesus and you worship jesus
and you praise jesus
but you go home and you wrestle with
this root
and it’s a root of loneliness and it’s a
root of anger and it’s a root of lust
and it’s a root of unforgiveness and
it’s a root of anger
and the enemy keeps telling you what you
would have had if things would have been
different because he’s trying to kill
your faith that god can get you there
anyway
that you can be in the pit
that you can be in potiphar’s house that
you can be in the prison and still end
up the prince
but the lord sent me here tonight to
tell you that your destiny is secure
then god is going to bring you into the
fullness of his purpose and he’s going
to uproot that sycamine tree
that rooting system the things they said
the things they did the things you heard
that brought you to where you are right
now you’re a king’s kid you’re on the
verge of deliverance the anointing of
the holy spirit is here right now and
god is about to do something amazing in
your life glory to god glory to god
they’re still coming don’t miss this
opportunity don’t let your pride hold
you in your seat don’t let your fear
hold you back you’re in the presence of
the king of kings and the lord of lords
and god is gonna give you a pure heart
so you can see him
so you can see him before this year is
out you’re going to see god in a way you
never saw him before you’re going to
love god in a way you never loved him
before you’re going to reach god in a
way you’ve never reached him before
before this year is out god is going to
uproot that tree
that bitterness is going to go
that anger is going to go that
frustration is going to go lift your
hands up and open your mouth the spirit
of god is in this place

feel about it it doesn’t matter how you
feel about it the only thing that
matters is what you believe about it i
