once you get your offering in the ground
once you get your seed in the ground I’m
gonna need you to just stand up wherever
you are
once you get your offering in the ground
I want you to get your you know once you

the people that are near you look at
people that don’t look like you

every person you see survived 2017
everybody has a story and everybody has
a praise we don’t know what people have
gone through to get here tonight and
some people are visitors and they’re not
really sure what’s about to happen
so let’s shock them if God has been good
to you in 2017
if there was one person on your road
that’s been blessed who would it be
if God has done something so out of the
box and the year is not over yet
God is not finished and the things that
don’t make sense he’s about to help them
to make sense lock elbows we’re gonna
pray lock elbows don’t hold hands I
don’t know if they wash their hands we
don’t know this some people are not
sanitary Lord Jesus in this atmosphere
speak through your word I ask that you
will allow us to be closer to you when
this moment is over than we were when it
first began Holy Ghost take over this
whole service belongs to you anyway but
don’t let me be the weak link
let me preaching uncompromising gospel
and Lord Jesus let us see you clearly
but when it’s over let us be encouraged
in our soul to know that every single
thing that the devil tried has utterly
failed God we want to shout right now
but we locked elbows with people we
don’t even know but as soon as we let
these elbows go we’re gonna give you a
hot thirty Seconds of ridiculous in
veneer crazy rowdy radical praise black
white Mexican Salvadorian Colombian
Nigerian you
got man in every other nation that I
don’t know how to pronounce properly in
the name of Jesus I pray amen amen and
amen
you got 30 seconds
well
[Applause]
if you only know what your plays is
doing if you only knew what this sound
is unlucky if you only knew where I’m
getting ready to go in Scripture your
sound is setting the atmosphere because
some things you cannot be casual with
some things you can’t play with it
you’ve gotta you gotta go get it is
anybody willing to go get it
go ahead and be seated I know this is
the word my iPad is something that’s
never done just shut down just shut all
the way down but I got my notes on my
phone cuz I know how the enemy try stuff
you can get one of them devices but I
got it safe I got my notes right here so
I might be squinting but I’m a priestess
word like the Lord gave it to me amen
second Kings 13 second Kings 13 I’m
reading from the New King James Version
been in this series called dreams and
letters how many people been blessed by
the dreams and letters last week was
dreams in ladders part three Field of
Dreams we were talking about a man named
Elijah he was a prophet I know a few
prophets there’s not a lot of them but I
know some of them well let me rephrase
that there are people who who save their
prophets then there are those who are
prophets prophets are weird that they
see things differently they they they
can look at you and you’re you know
you’re just trying to shake hands and
the next thing you know they already in
the spirit brief buh buh buh CC hey I
just wanted to say hello
don’t start speaking in tongues I don’t
know you yet they see things differently
they’re strange they’re they just
they’re different John the Baptist he he
was able to see Jesus before the rest of
the folk he was different he he ate
different things he was a different dude
camel hair wearing locusts and wild
honey eaten sitting out in the
wilderness you know he was that guy so
sometimes the prophetic can be a little
different but don’t be taken aback by
that because you’ll be surprised that
God might send somebody that doesn’t
necessarily fit your construct but they
got a word from God for your life
he likes you as a prophet but he wasn’t
a prophet when when he lied you found
him he was working in a field behind the
12th yoke of oxen and Elisha put his
mantle on him and he said let’s go and
he killed the oxen and he destroyed the
cart he destroyed it he turned it into
an altar which is symbolic of saying I’m
never going back tell somebody I’m not
going back I don’t know who this is for
but you got a word from God so why are
you even going but don’t go back you got
the word don’t go back you got the word
don’t go back I’m not even in my notes
yet you need to write that one you got
the word don’t go back and I’m not just
talking about your your your future I’m
talking about somebody from your past
you got the word don’t go back he wasn’t
the one six months ago he’s not gonna be
the one this week because you’re lonely
got real quiet just trying to help you
you got the word don’t go back so when
he likes you got the word he destroyed
his ability to go back and do the things
he was familiar with and the danger
inherent in trusting God for your future
is the comfort of the familiar and my
prayer for you is that you become
uncomfortable with comfort so many
people like to know where that you you
want to know everything I want how much
money is in my savings account I’m gonna
check my 401k you know I got benefits
you know Roth IRA you setting your
things up and guys like you worrying
about stuff that’s not even gonna last
build your home some things eater
no Lord pull to godson winning sing
hymns no more why don’t you just hold to
his head God’s unchanging Oh Oh to his
head God’s unchanging hey you’re home
some things turn
No wish my grandmother was here hole to
godson yeah yeah build your hopes on
things eternal we have to get an eye on
eternity while still being honorable
with the things that we have to do in
the earth but you need to be focused on
eternity tell somebody focus on eternity
so last week we were talking about
Elijah and Elijah he destroyed his
ability to go backwards this week I want
to talk about some things that happened
in Elijah’s life at the end of his life
because we’re still in dreams and
ladders I just want to make sure I’m in
the right church with the right people
and I won’t take long how many dreamers
do I have in truth is there anything
worse then living without a dream it
motivates you why are you sitting in
traffic to stick it out it motivates you
while you’re at the job that may not be
completely fulfilling but it’s necessary
so that you can make a living and pay
bills while your dream is yet to
manifest but it ain’t just dreams is
also ladders and gods getting ready to
extend a ladder he’s getting ready to
make a way out of no way and you’ll be
climbing where angels climb Oh glory I
said you’ll be climbing where angels
climb because for some of you you’ve
been sitting on this level for too long
and God needs you to get a different
vision and a different vantage point
because from where you are things look
big but when you get higher that stuff
that was red gets small real fast
so this is part 4 dreams and ladders
part 4 and I’ll give you the subtitle in
just a moment second Kings 13 starting
at the 15th verse this is at the end of
Elijah’s life and he’s with joash the
king of Israel and joash is sad because
he’ll I sure is about to die I don’t
believe he’s only sad because he likes
che is about to die he’s also sad
because he knows that the protection in
favor of God was on Elijah and joash
knew I don’t really have the same level
of relationship with God that you do
sometimes people are blessed to be
connected to you stop taking your
anointing for granted and don’t let
people try to minimize what God has done
in you because if they really thought
that little of you they wouldn’t be
always up under you
three-second praise rate
joash was nervous he was hurting because
he knew that he see cuz he likes it was
a bad boy you didn’t mess with Israel
while he likes you was a lie what was
getting just from was set on fire people
was just all kinds of stuff God was
doing stuff that people hadn’t seen
before when he likes just spoken it came
to pass joash was like oh my father my
father and as he’s about to transition
from death to life eternal these are the
words he like sure had become sick with
the illness of which he would die tell
somebody one day it will end then Joe
asked the king of Israel came down to
him and wept over his face it said oh my
father my father the chariots of Israel
and their horsemen and he likes just
said to him fifteenth verse take a bow
and some arrows so he took himself a bow
and some arrows then he said to the king
of Israel put your hand on the bow so he
put his hand on it and he likes to put
his hands on the Kings hands that’s a
prophetic impartation now I don’t have
the ability to touch and agree with
everybody here but I do believe that I’m
standing in a prophetic moment that I
have been given authority to declare
mama Theresa to those who will receive
it sir in the glasses and the blue
anybody else I’m getting ready to say
something and if you agree with it then
this is for you I’m spiritually touching
and agreeing putting my hands on your
hands on your dream on your vision on
your calling on that thing that makes no
sense to anyone else but it makes
perfect sense in your mind you don’t
have the money the ability or the
resources in the natural but you need a
prophetic impartation you need somebody
that’s got a right now ability to say
God I got faith for this this is what
I’m doing right now but don’t lift your
hands if you’re gonna live average after
I say it this is only for people with
the dream and you’re willing to do
whatever it takes to make the dream come
to pass you’ve been working as hard as
you’re working but you need the
supernatural enabling power of the Holy
Ghost
because your work and your skill and
your gift and your grind is not enough
because there are a lot of people that
work and have skill and have gifts and
they grind but if you have all that and
no anointing and no Holy Ghost and no
favor of God then you’ll be spinning
your wheels but when you get a word from
God on top of your word
I’m afraid again I’m stretching my hands
and I’m touching and agreeing with
anybody who has the faith to believe
what I’m about to say next he put his
hands on the Kings hands and he said
open the East window the word East hear
that word East in Hebrew means a for
mention or beforehand or before time
which means there was something prepared
for you before you got here remain
standing because I haven’t helped me
Jesus let me get it out because I want
to shout for me because it’s for me too
because I remember what my grandmother
said before she died what my life would
be and there was no way that it could
happen I was like that’s crazy and the
stuff she wrote about me when I was
soaring five years old it’s happening
right now in my life
in my life what she prophesied is
happening right now
get some arrows go out the East window
the East window east before time
aforementioned I’m getting ready to hit
you with the scripture in Ephesians
that’s gonna blow your mind
matter of fact I might as well just give
it to you now should I give it to you
now if you want announcer I didn’t okay
you want to know you want that word
right now for by grace you were saved
through faith and that not of yourselves
it’s the gift of God not of works lest
anyone should boast
for we are his workmanship created in
Christ Jesus for good works which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk
in them open the window to the east
beforehand which means there’s something
that is older than you that’s waiting on
you
you got it man – got you got it look I
need somebody on the road to get there
there is something that is older than
you that is waiting on you it’s almost
like anybody who plays the Nopalea
Candyland
you know the van awfully bored boardwalk
Park Avenue okay those are ones what the
board is set up depending on the cards
you get or however you wrote advice I
don’t remember how it goes you you end
up landing on certain things what if I
told you that God mapped out your whole
life before you were in the womb so it
was prepared before you were positioned
the works were prepared before you were
positioned but now it’s time for you to
walk in them that’s why you’ve had a lot
of tension in 2017
I said you’ve had a lot of tension in
2017 people are showing you who they
really are in 2017 they are so
uncomfortable around you they want you
to be so much less than what you really
are to do please to don’t like me a
little because you can you turn the
light down on your life could you stop
being so annoying it don’t do that
that’s makes people uncomfortable and we
need to be more tender and
seeker-sensitive that’s a lie
[Applause]
[Music]
they were put in the earth beforehand
and I’m not gonna let insecure people
stop me from doing what I was created to
do I know I could get a high-five baby I
need you to have five three people and
then give God a ten second praise ring
you got your three people and then a
praise bring
please break
praise rate
praise rape
that’s fulfilling was created he he he
prepared the things before he positioned
me there’s ain’t time to sit down and
watch this when I read the scripts are
you gonna understand why I should have
let you sit down I should have let you
said if you want to sit down you can by
all means seriously don’t I don’t
there’s no manipulation in church I
don’t like that I mean it sit down if
you want to do iron or no Ellen I’ll be
right here watch this open the East
window and he opened it then he likes to
say it shoot and he shot some
translations say this the Prophet said
shoot Oh shot
where my sports figures in here where
any ballers in here you’re a baller
he’s a Glover you’re good to stay right
there but I’m just saying he’s shooting
on the stage
I got your mama just stay with me God is
looking for somebody who if there’s one
second left on the clock and the ball is
in your hands you wouldn’t pass it to
anybody else you’ve gone through enough
to know that the distance between me and
that basket is not gonna stop me from
shooting this shot it may not be
straight but it’s going in some way or
another I’m not gonna let our position
stop me I’m gonna shoot my shot just
somebody shoot your shot tell somebody
like you mean they’d get a little edge
till you get a little get that thing in
your spirit I don’t know what you’re
waiting on but you’ve waited long enough
this time for you
and he shot it watch the word the era of
the Lord’s deliverance in the era of
deliverance from your enemy Syria for
you must strike the Syrians at effec
effect means enclosure there’s people
that have been trying to close in on you
their situations that have been trying
to close in on you depression has been
trying to close in on you religion has
been trying to constrict you other
people’s small expectations of you have
been trying to enclose effect is not
just a physical place it’s a spiritual
place and people will put their bondage
onto your freedom if you let them and he
said when you shop the shop that was
prophetic to declare that every enemy
that’s tried to hold you hostage has
been
[Applause]
now I need somebody to thank God because
the spiritual attack on your life just
ended
God just handled the spiritual forces of
wickedness in high places that you and I
could not he just sent Michael the
Archangel he just sends his angels
because he’s got charged over us to keep
us in all our ways
when Daniel prayed the angel was coming
with the answer but the spirits of the
over the regions stopped the angel from
bringing the answer so the Bible said
Michael the Archangel showed up Michael
is a baller you’ll want to see Michael
in a in a dark alley Michael that dude
Michael rolled up like what bout al when
I come to your town
there is a spiritual component God has
just broken the back of the spiritual
forces that have been holding you
hostage but there is a second component
and this part is your responsibility
verse 18 then Elijah said to joash take
the arrows so he took them and he said
to the king of Israel strike the ground
and he struck the ground three times and
then he stopped tell somebody why’d you
stop tell somebody else why did you stop
and the man of God was angry and he said
you should have struck five or six times
didn’t you would have struck Syria till
you had destroyed it but now you will
strike Syria only three times then he’ll
I should died and was buried title his
dreams and ladders part 3 part 4 strike
three
actually it’s not strike three it’s
three strikes three strikes you’ve been
standing for a while and I don’t
normally do this here’s why I asked you
to stand for those who felt led to the
king was in a moment he was not aware of
and he became casual we get so
conditioned with religious expression
that we missed that every now and then
the Holy Ghost will show up and instead
of a service we’re in a moment I need to
announce to you at 8:36 on a Wednesday
that while other people are gathered for
sporting events and eating food at
restaurants and some people are sitting
at home I need you to know that you got
here or you’re watching online and you
are in a moment you are in a I haven’t
gone through a while I went through the
not me I’m not gonna miss this you may
be seated just as long as you know your
inner you’re in a moment
this is dreams and ladders par for three
strikes I need you to get this this is
so important so important so important
hear me before you die I need you to
live
so many people exist but they do not
live they exist to pay bills to make
ends meet
to keep the status quo they play it safe
they do nice things but they’re afraid
to go after great things because
greatness requires stretching it
requires faith
it requires moving it requires the
shedding of the familiar and the letting
go of what was yours and you release it
to someone else than a fragmented hand
me that again because I need to I need
to because here’s the thing
Elijah understood that he didn’t need
his prophetic mantle where he was going
because he had completed his assignment
come here Byron turn around what was on
me it’s now on you
so as a youth pastor I was unashamed and
unafraid to preach an uncompromising
gospel I was crazy people told you
you’re going to you’re doing too much
this is uncomfortable but but kids from
neighborhoods that wouldn’t normally
come to church we’re in there they came
in smelling like we some of them smell
like liquor but they were in there and
some church folk we’re really offended
by that they smell like weed and they’ve
been drinking when you smell like pride
why you judging them anyway Lisa got a
heart to get into the house of God it’s
not worrying about what they did or how
they got here it doesn’t matter
dad loves everybody and if you got a
heart for Jesus he’s got a word for you
roll your sleeves up tell somebody roll
your sleeves up so many people are
afraid to become what God wants them to
become because they’re so committed to
what they used to be
[Music]
I’ve got to let go of what I lost I
can’t be so selfish that it’s only about
me tell somebody it’s not just about you
I know you’re great but who’s your
replacement
help me Holy Ghost before you die I need
you to live
did you hear what I said I’m talking
about lives I’m talking about gone
vacation and I’m walking around that
resort like you own it I know you I know
when you slid the card it was in faith
you prayed and the Holy Ghost when you
slid it but walk through there with your
heels out just all in the sand
I need you to live oh ho like no
airplane you could die at any moment God
is on the plane he got angels under the
wings go live your life stop being
afraid the devil is a liar strike the
ground nobody wants to read my book
strike the ground nobody wants to nobody
wants to see me in a stage play you
better write that play your life is a
story that the world needs to see you
don’t know what God can do ask Tyler
Perry what God will do with a one-act
play strike
I just need one person in each section I
know I’m I’m all emotional tonight
I need somebody to strike the ground
strike the ground strike the ground
strike the quail straight declare
strike the ground strike the ground
strike the ground don’t stop get it get
it don’t stop get it get it
he likes to say why’d you only hit it
three times
[Applause]
it was symbolic of a lack of vision when
you see small things you do small things
when you see yourself small you date
small
good night bye-bye y’all take care
Who am I talking to you ever been in a
relationship you were sitting across the
table and you looked over there what am
i doing
at this table with this Eddie
you’ve got dream books on your mantle
God speaks to you at night a little vain
I’m sorry so solid list in the futures
new song I got a future I don’t have to
listen to future
you see yourself smile you date slow be
careful because if you date small you
might marry small
[Applause]
now you’re in covenant with somebody
that was convenient but they weren’t
called
ask the Lord to give you patience if
you’re single and if you Dayton
rethinking it’s some people mad in here
right now you took you smiling like
Peter that’s not this holiday
I’m breaking up with you as soon as
churches go over but we drove together
so I need her for at home and you know
it’s all over right good I’d rather you
interrupt this now then break your own
heart later on get somebody that’s
conducive to destiny not convenient for
your loneliness strike the ground hey is
that you Jesus
yo strike the ground like that strike
the ground that’s the feel you’ve been
past the hello 40 years 43 years you
were the pastor of Oral Roberts who is
one of the great fathers of the faith
person who laid hands on over a million
and a half people could he’d have done
that if he decided to stay timid at the
beginning of his ministry 43 years you
sit up you you were Oral Roberts pastor
and now you’re walking next to Pastor
Joel Osteen and you see millions of
people come to Christ
that’s strange we ever did you ever get
scared you were scared why didn’t you
quit too stubborn I like that I want to
talk to some hard heads
where my heart is circumstance told you
to give up yours like I’m going nowhere
this is mine strike up crime am I
talking to the people your life told you
to give up I ain’t going nowhere
strike thug Brown who am I talking to in
here where the heart heads you didn’t
have the money you didn’t have the
skills you didn’t have the family you
didn’t have a squad a hitter he just had
a word from God write the sum of your
like I wore heels this hurts how long it
went when did this part over it’s funny
because joash had an opportunity to
utterly destroy everything that would
come against him but he was probably so
insecure and felt ill-equipped to be
leader he didn’t realize that he had a
prophetic window wide open that whatever
he said in that moment God was gonna
back him what if I told you that the
next 7 minutes for some of you will
determine the next 70 years of you and
your family based on what you write down
put in your phone or speak out of your
mouth I’m telling you right now we just
hit a seven-minute window where while
I’m talking you need to be blasting
stuff out your mouth like cancer won’t
kill me my kids or my grandkids imma
live to be a hundred and ten years old I
will be filled with the Holy Ghost I’m
gonna be able to pray for sick people
and they will recover the dead will rise
I need somebody to say crazy stuff what
if I told you the window was open
some of y’all clapping but none of y’all
talking some of y’all need to open your
mouth right now my business is not in
the red anymore it’s in the black as of
right now new clients show up new ideas
it’s time to move pack your bags get
your boxes out get some tape God is
shifting you strike
strike the ground James you got to
strike the ground I’ve been stuck too
long and sometimes when you strike you
can’t strike the ground tender because
the ground responds to violence you know
an earthquake is when there’s a violent
shifting in the foundation every now and
then you need to go ahead and start loud
enough for the devil to know I mean at
this time I said I’m not staying stuck
devil I will not be held hostage devil
and and and it also signals to God I’m
ready now for the next thing when you
strike the ground and not just three
little times you need to go after it you
need to make some you need to you need
to hit that chair you need to eat I
don’t know what you need to do but I
wouldn’t wait on me I would figure it
out you need to hit the pole or hit your
leg just hambone I don’t know what you
need to do she’s over here leaping
because there’s something in her belly I
don’t know what you need to do I’m up
here sweating I don’t work out except
one time a week right here right
but this is not for me this is for my
son this is for my daughter this is for
the children that she’ll be okay I got
some more arrows there’s three areas
that you need to strike right things now
you ready who wants to work if you’re
really serious about watching your dream
come to pass write these down there’s
the model the mirror and the moment
there’s a model the mirror and the
moment three strikes three different
areas that you need to address and
identify what is the model the model are
the forces that shape you who raised you
who you came up around things that were
outside of your control you were molded
by those things you didn’t determine
where you were born what you looked like
you didn’t determine the the
predisposition in your DNA you didn’t
determine the people who were addicted
before you got here you weren’t able to
fight against the people who abused you
who snatched your innocence those were
things that molded you they were outside
of your control but even though they
were outside of your control they were
not outside of God’s control and even if
it happened and it was horrible God
allowed it he didn’t want it to happen
but he knew because of free will that
people would do what they did but even
through free will God will still get his
will accomplished
somebody needs to thank God that one was
supposed to kill you
didn’t do anything but make him
trying to help somebody there is the
model the forces that shape you what you
were taught how you process life
then there’s the mirror the mirror is
the place where you begin to become
aware of who you are but more
importantly who you can become
the model the model is the forces that
shaped you the mirror the it’s the place
where you begin to see yourself wait a
minute
I’m more than where I was raised love
you too man I’m more than the abandoned
son of a father who couldn’t see me I’m
more than before year-old boy that was
sexually abused by two teenagers in my
front lawn I’m more than that moment I’m
I’m more than two do they used to get
talked about every day on the school bus
going the width row high school I’m more
than the guy that couldn’t get the phone
numbers of the girls I liked in high
school I’m more than the shame and the
guilt of the the emerging manhood and
the hormones and all of the things that
come with being a teenager I’m more than
the stuff the devil tried to put on more
than this this is I’ve got a destiny
that’s bigger than this when you begin
to realize that the things that made you
can’t stop you
I’m trying to help 17 people in here I
don’t care who it was or what they did
as of tonight God is shifting you from
model to mirror where you will see what
God intended through that lesson you
become aware of what you become what you
could become it’s where you face the
areas of your life that aren’t glamorous
but you still remain faithful anybody
remain faithful even though it was hard
made no sense it’s where you stop lying
to yourself see because the mirror you
can’t lie to yourself because the mirror
doesn’t have a filter and it doesn’t
talk back all it does is show you you if
you’re willing to see God says I want to
grow you up I want to take you someplace
else before before I do I need to show
you you take the spiritual makeup off
take off all that extra stuff so I can
show you that you’re beautiful without
all of that and I’m not talking physical
stuff I’m talking about that too because
you are fearfully and wonderfully made
you’re beautiful and if you want to
beautify yourself and add things that’s
fine but that doesn’t define you what
defines you is who you actually are the
model what shaped you the mirror when
you become aware and then there’s the
moment tell somebody I’m in a moment the
moment is this moment right here right
now I said this moment right here right
now
tonight you might not have known it but
I’m here to declare to you right now
that you’re in the moment the moment was
when Elijah was behind the yoke of oxen
with dirt and feces kicked up into his
face but he remained faithful to stay in
the field because that was the call on
his life and while he was faithful in
the mess here comes the prophet and the
prophet throws his mantle onto Elijah
and he says it’s time and I don’t know
who this is for but you’re getting ready
to step into I believe for many and all
of the sudden moment where you were
faithful in one thing and God’s going to
send a word or he’ll send a person and
they’re gonna say now right now you’re
in the moment two people caught in
another one anybody else you’re in a
moment somebody’s about to start
worshipping because we’ve been faithful
and you weren’t looking for and here’s
the thing he likes you wasn’t looking in
the field you don’t expect the Prophet
to show up in a field while you in the
middle of the mess but God is not
getting ready to shine the lie you know
he’s going to where you being faithful
and anonymous he’ll come the word while
you’re serving and nobody can see it
here comes the word God’s going to
unlock it while you’re serving
tell somebody that thing now what do you
do once you’re in the moment and you get
the double portion he likes it got the
double portion he was there when the
mantle fell as Elijah was going up into
heaven he got the double portion if you
read this scripture the Bible says after
he died he was buried the next scripture
is strange it says there was a band of
Raiders in the area and they was some
people kind of in the area where Elijah
had been buried and they spotted some
Raiders some some bad folk and they had
a person who had died and so they put
the dead man in the tomb where Elijah
had been buried the Bible says the
moment that the dead man touched
Elijah’s bones he got up now yes that’s
a miracle but I’m concerned because
after everything he likes you had to go
through to get that anointing he didn’t
think enough of it to give it to anybody
else
got real quiet in here
I know I’m messing with one of your
biblical heroes it’s a miracle the man
got up anybody know the man’s name why
would I need to say his name he was just
a guy after everything that you’ve gone
through do you want to just leave it
with you here’s the lesson
don’t die anointing don’t die anointing
here’s what I need you to do die drive
that empty die exhausted leave nothing
behind
do you hear what I’m saying you caught
it my I need you to die on empty I need
you to die to win when they put you in
the ground it lay yeah he looked like he
was going he was dreaming gone he was
gone his teeth was gone it was gone
sorry my feet Mama’s mommy’s at bed okay
he didn’t keep you can keep your teeth
what I’m saying is this everything you
were created to do you did it tell
somebody go do it tell somebody else go
do it I don’t want to die and I get to
heaven and God said God why you say that
cuz I had so much more for you I don’t
want to die and my heavenly father say
what are you doing here hey I’m supposed
to be here I accepted Jesus yeah but you
got here early
what do you mean because you didn’t take
care of your body
this temple houses the purpose of God
there are certain things that I can do
to help God woo let me rephrase that for
those who would be offended by what I
just said there’s personal
responsibility on my part so that God
can get maximum glory out of this life
when you were being healed from cancer
that was supposed to take your life I
guarantee you you weren’t at fast-food
restaurants every day eat whatever you
want it you probably took care of
yourself eight good things got plenty of
rest there are certain things that you
and I can do to extend and expand our
life to make sure that we are physically
able to do what we were created to do I
need you to die dry don’t leave one idea
don’t leave I mean do everything do all
300 things I don’t care if only one of
them hits do them all what you trying to
charge oh you trying to be a
best-selling author yep well you try to
write a movie yeah what you trying to do
is you praise dance yeah
[Applause]
look at it go ahead monster got the
Christmas hat on boy I’m praise dance
with your leather pants oh yes Hercules
Hercules
[Applause]
People of God don’t miss the moment my
time is coming to a close you may have a
lot of days but you won’t get a lot of
moments when the moment comes you better
take it
we got opens that door you better go
when he opens that window you better
shoot your shot you better shoot that
arrow
you know it’s God is crazy it makes no
sense I need to do it I need to go right
then that’s what God did to me when I
got the phone call out of the blue I was
minding my business living my life just
bought a house then I got a phone call
and it was like do you want it or not
shoot your shot I’m gone but baby packed
the bags I know we just bought it the
ink ain’t hardly dry on the mortgage
papers I’m we going we still gonna be
here and we gonna be there we’re gonna
shoot the shot though we’re gonna shoot
the shot three things write them down
and then you can do this this is your
lesson this is your take-home three
things that I want you to take because
you have a lot of days what you won’t
get a lot of moments and if it’s a all
about three strikes and take these three
things number one what’s what’s the
dream who’s your team and what’s your
seed what’s the dream that means what’s
the thing in your heart what is the
thing God put in your heart that you
were created to do what is that thing
find out what’s the dream number one
number one number two who’s your team
who’s close enough to help you build and
number three what’s your see don’t think
you’re gonna get something that great
without sewing summer I’m living in what
I sold I’ve been at I there my whole
life now I see things showing up that
there’s no way I could get not in my own
credit not with my relationships guy
just had to do it but because I was
faithful to sow seed over years that
thing just hit me in 2017 but guess what
2018 is when it’s going to be explosive
exponential
stand up I know it’s time to go I’m
sorry
[Applause]
what are you willing to sow and seed in
order to get the breakthrough for some
of you God will require substance he’s
asking you to tithe and that’s between
you and him I mean I don’t like folk to
try to manipulate you into doing
anything you don’t want to do it that’s
between you and God
but he’s been too good to me I’ll give
tide to air more better in his hands and
in mind that’s just me but some of y’all
it’s time
some of y’all y’all need to sow into
your family some of y’all you need to
get it right with your brother or your
sister or your mom or your dad some of
y’all need to get it right there’s a
seed that’s required what’s your dream
who’s your team what’s your seed let me

the people of God that you will so this
word into their heart that it will take
root and produce fruit and I pray in the
name of Jesus that lives would be
forever changed God I don’t want to die
