well anybody ready for the word this
morning all right let’s do it
today we are starting part 4 of a series
that we are calling help me marked and I
am so excited about this series because
we’re learning from the life the
leadership and lessons that we get from
David’s life and last week we started
talking about David and talking about
how he was approved in private and if
you’re ever going to do everything that
God called you to do you’re gonna reach
the purpose that he’s placed on your
life because many people in this room
are marked for so much bigger than what
you’re living right now if you know that
God has marked you for more than what
you’re living right now make some noise
in the building okay I had to make sure
I was in the right room because some of
y’all look like y’all swallowed pickle
juice this morning Jesus
okay let me make sure I believe that the
reason you’re here is because something
on the inside of you
is marked for more than what you’re
living right now but the thing that we
learned from David’s life is that in
this Instagram generation in this this
this validation generation we live in
God works differently
he doesn’t do things the way the world
does them so when he when he chooses you
he usually approves you in a private
place where everybody’s not gonna know
even your family members may not know
what God’s placed on your life and many
people get discouraged because maybe
they’re too old or maybe they tried
before or nobody’s cheering them on but
what we found out last week is that we
have to embrace our opportunity of
obscurity and when we let God develop
our negatives in the dark room of our
life then people get to see the picture
that God has for us but when I was
thinking about this concept of being
approved in private it made me think of
something else that means that Samuel
went to David and he anointed him like
he poured oil on him said God’s favor is
on him and and for everybody that’s new
to church anointing all it means is
God’s favor like
means that God’s approval is on
something so when something’s anointed
you can tell because it’s like that
ain’t them like God’s doing that and
that’s what I pray for every time I come
to speak I don’t have no anything that
I’m saying but when I get up here the
anointing of God begins to take over and
some people like he was speaking right
to my situation you know we ain’t talked
like and you know I don’t know your
situation but the anointing of God he
comes on and he starts speaking to you
and you and you and you and you and then
comes back and hits me at the same time
that’s what we call the approval of God
on something so David is getting
anointed by Samuel he’s getting the
approval of God but there’s something
interesting that happens that many of us
don’t understand is once you get
anointed or approved by God or get a
vision from God you’re not always gonna
get a position so I want you to know if
you’re marked I’ve just got to hit this
for a second you’re gonna be anointed
before you’re positioned and this is
where everybody gets messed up because
you know you’re anointed you know God’s
hand is on your life you know you can
sing you know you can administrate you
know you can lead and gods like but
you’re not gonna do any of that right
now you’re gonna serve what God you must
have messed up because I’m marked yeah
you’re marked so I need to go to the
palace now no no no because if you go to
the palace now you’ll be there for a
very short time cuz I’ve put my hand on
you but you have not learned how to
handle what I’m taking you into so I
gotta develop you in a place where you
not gonna be seen and so that’s why when
David was approved in private then he
was anointed before he was positioned
right after Samuel anointed him his mark
self he went back to the field and I’m
telling some people in this room who are
discouraged right now that your field or
your pastor season is not a punishment
it is preparation and until you see it
like that you will always be mad about
where you are now
uh-huh cuz some of y’all trying to move
to LA New York there’s just better
opportunities you’ll still be there and
if you’re still there you’re still
taking all your issues with you until
you become content in the place in the
space that God has you knowing he’s
anointed you knowing his favor is on
your life he’s saying I’ll give you the
position and this is the thing that you
gotta believe you either believe it or
you don’t
all promotion comes from God you think
promotion came from your boss no no no
no no promotion comes from God and this
is what he is telling all of us chill
out and wait on me well god you’re not
moving fast enough I’m moving at just
the right speed that’s gonna allow you
to do everything I’ve called you to do
this goes back to that concept of
striding finding the pace of grace and
what God’s saying is hey I just need you
to wait on me we’ll pass them like how
do we wait look at proverbs 3:5 because
a lot of you the question to you today
is how are you handling the way and you
you you think that the weight is like
like the time like God man I hate this
like I can’t stand going to this job but
you got it messed up God saying how are
you handling the weight at your service
God a waiter
see when you come to a good restaurant a
good waiter is not telling you
everything they need a good waiter is
asking what else can I do for you father
if you asked me to serve in this
children’s ministry how long do you want
me to be here father God do you want me
to keep giving to this person who can’t
give anything to me at your service God
and many of us are prolonging our season
of going to the next level because our
weight is bad you’re a horrible waiter
and what do you do with horrible laters
I’m gonna leave it right there cuz I’m
gonna just let it convict you of your
own level all I’m saying is you’re
marked somebody just say it I’m marked
say it like you mean it I’m marked but
you’re not getting a position yet can
you handle the weight well god I’m 68
and I don’t I don’t know how much longer
I know no you never heard about Moses
and Sarah
Lucero room was dusty just powdered she
lacked no y’all it’s in the Bible she
laughed when God said I’m gonna give you
kids she said hahaha well no but at 90
years old Abraham and Sarah said Moses
is Sarah
Abraham and said at 90 years old she had
and I’m telling you that there’s seeds
that God has placed on this inside of
some of y’all that you have said I am
past the point of conception and God
says if you put me in the mix I can do
things in times in areas where man says
it’s not possible I am the great I am if
you believe it go ahead and give God a
shout of praise right there yes
somebody’s faith is being built so the
question is how are you handling the way
proverbs 3:5 tells us how to handle
little weight trust in the Lord with all
your heart and do not depend on my own
understanding cuz this cuz that’s what
we try to do God this doesn’t make sense
he said you didn’t understand it when I
told you so you’re not gonna understand
it in the middle like like don’t trust
in what you see he says seek his will in
all you do father I just want to please
you father this is this is
I’m doing this but god I just want you
if this is not you redirect me show me
what you’re doing see his will and all
you do and he will show you which path
to take see when you’re marked you gotta
wait on God and this is where even for
those who are finishing school
congratulations to all my graduate if
you’re a graduate in the room just lift
your hand in the building if you’re a
graduate I see you I see oh come on
y’all there come on we’re so proud of
you but this is one of those funny
things now you got a degree now now you
you finished high school
now now you got your master’s degree God
you must approve me cuz I wasn’t
supposed to make it pass did my
sophomore year and god I’m marked now
and now he’s saying to you he’s saying
alright now you may have to go work in
something that wasn’t your major
y’all just waste four years y’all know
we turn into somebody else when the time
can I just watch my life before he
positions you where you’re actually
gonna be he may need to work some things
in you and out of you that college
didn’t teach he might need to teach you
how to trust him in a season where
everybody else will not be able to like
you you big now you grown now like ain’t
nobody sending you Romo noodle look
money no more like you gotta get a job
you understand what I’m saying like
maybe there’s a season you got a truck
maybe you won’t be able to have the
blinged-out apartment maybe you’re
sharing with somebody in a roommate
situation and you can’t stand people and
she touched my mascara and and I’m
trying to tell you the things that we
think our issues are usually tools that
God is using to develop us yeah I’m not
driving a 2019 car no no take 12 years
off of that cuz that’s the car you can
afford
all I’m telling you is that that doesn’t
negate you from being in the palace one
day but it’s part of I’m keep singing
this cuss word your process just say it
out of your mouth because some of y’all
don’t cuss like this same process so so
I just want to let you know this one
thing okay I’m not going to my purpose
or the palace yet so god what am I
supposed to do well I need you to know
the weight is never wasted if you’re
waiting god never wastes the weight if
you would be submitted and open to what
he wants to do in it the weight it’s
never wasted somebody needs to just say
that out of your heart say the weight is
never wasted so one thing that I found
out about David in the season that he
was waiting before he became king like
like he did something that was so
amazing and I think this is what God
tries to do for all of us if we’re
marked in the waiting time if you’re
marked you’re gonna become the answer to
a problem yeah no no I’m telling you
like if you’re marked and you’re waiting
for God to put you in that next level
he always says okay let’s now make you a
help to somebody or something else that
needs to be solved and many of us when
we see problems we see frustration and
we Punk out when we see problems a lot
of us think problems are the devil come
on let’s be honest you see a road bump
you’re like the the the devil’s a liar
and then we go over here and we see
another problem and what you need to
understand is problems are always God’s
Way of getting you to promotion when you
become a problem solver you will always
be going to your next level of promotion
so I want to talk to you about being the
answer the title of my message today is
the problem just found in answer the
problem whatever it is just found and
answer somebody say I’m the answer say
it one more time say I’m the answer the
crazy thing about it is we don’t want to
be the
let’s be honest we want somebody else to
answer our problems our prayers our
stuff but we never want to be the answer
and God says if you’re gonna do
everything I’ve called you to do you got
to understand this ain’t about you when
you get to the highest level of what
you’re called to do it is a service
position this is not a position for you
to be served it is a position so that
you can serve as the pastor of this
church a lot of people call me the lead
pastor but behind the scenes I call
myself the lead servant because I have
to do things that nobody will ever see
off of this platform to be able to serve
whoever walks in those doors and needs a
word from God this is not a pious
position where I look down on the
peasants and give them a word from God
this is something that I’m up all night
crying and praying over changing my
notes until the last minute cuz I don’t
ever want to say anything that would
lead one person astray and then gotta
come back and put my life up against
this stuff and there’s a hard your
judgment for every person who teaches
the Word of God so I’m not up here
trying to prove something to you I’m up
here trying to serve you and this and
this is at every level of influence the
higher you go up the more you have to
serve so what God does in these seasons
is he presents problems as an
opportunity for promotion and so today I
want you to change your view of problems
cuz cuz every time you see a problem you
want to run you want to stop and God
says that’s what I wanted for you to go
through the problem and become the
answer somebody say I’m the answer so
let’s look at David’s life and let’s see
how he answered some of the problems
that were presented to him David was the
answer the first thing he was the answer
to the goat problem
see I’ll remember in First Samuel when
when when Samuel was coming to find a
son in Jesse’s house David was the
number eight of his brothers and they
didn’t even invite him to the party okay
but they didn’t invite him because if
there was not somebody watching the
goats their livelihood would have been
in jeopardy you’re gonna get it in a
minute
so the one god chose was not at the
party because he was the answer to a
problem that would affect everybody and
it’s going to take another level of
knowing who you are in Christ to keep
doing the thing that nobody wants to do
and nobody’s going to praise you for and
and and be the answer
even when nobody’s gonna give you an
applause let me let me prove it to you
first samuel chapter 16 David was the
answer to the goat problem it said then
Samuel asked are these all the sons you
had he wouldn’t do seven of them and God
didn’t choose any of them he said
they’re still the youngest but he’s out
in the fields watching the sheep and the
goats sin for him at once and we will
not sit down and eat until he arrives
see this is the thing you got to
understand I don’t care if you’re a
parent I don’t care if you’re a business
owner I don’t care what area of life
you’re in the first test that God is
going to give you is a test of humility
will you stay with the goats when
there’s a party going on
will you keep serving the children when
there’s an area on the platform open
will you keep taking out the trash even
though you’re the owner of the company
will you still keep taking your wife on
a date even though you’ve been married
20 years it’s a goat problem and if you
will not handle the low level stinky
if you won’t handle the stuff that is
not appealing and this is the thing that
you got to realize when you hang out
with sheep and goats you start to smell
like them so when you go into other
areas there’ll be people who don’t want
to be around you because you still get
your hands dirty there will be people
that judge you because you don’t look
like your position but God said I’ve
anointed him the king of Israel but he
would still get down and do the things
that nobody else wanted to do so if you
have a goat problem in your life the way
you become the answer is humility right
that we’re down humility the Bible tells
us that God is far from the proud but
he’s close to those who are humble in
spirit and this is the thing that every
one of us have to understand is that
humility everything in the kingdom is
upside down so the way up is now the
more humble you are the more God can
trust you in and some of you you have
the skill you have the talent but you
are prideful you have the skill you have
the talent you have the looks but you’re
mean you have the skill you have the
talent you have everything that it takes
but you are not willing to do the things
that take credit away from your bujji
ideal of yourself
now you live in a gated neighborhood and
you walk into other people’s oh my god
they mow their lawn just because you
have a gardening service does not mean
that if the Holy Spirit has you drive by
somebody’s house that their stuff is not
kept up and you’ve been talking about it
oh my god why are they still in our
neighborhood
the HOA should do something about them
no he’s leaving that problem there
because you’re supposed to be the answer
pull out show John Deere drive over to
their house don’t ask them and just cut
the yard oh I forgot you’re prideful
though and you would hate for one of
your friends to see you back on gold
level you you you would hate all those
people that you’re making fun of because
their clothes are not good in high
school you haven’t taken one piece of
clothing off of you and giving it to
them and what you don’t understand is
how you handle the pastor determines if
you’ll ever handle the palace and what
many of us are doing is putting ourself
higher than we are and forgetting that
where God found us was was in the
pasture that’s where he found us that’s
where we came from and I’m not talking
just about money but you were the lost
thing you’re seeing and you were jacked
up and ugly on the inside and God has
started to turn you around and now you
judge every alcoholic that comes into
the church you used to be a sloppy mess
and nobody knew it but now you smell the
hit of some weed or you smell the hint
of something and now you’re judging
people hold on baby get back with the
goats
I want you to understand the name that
they call Jesus is the great shepherd
who are the Sheep so no matter how great
you think you are man no matter how much
money you make
do you understand what I’m saying it
doesn’t matter where God takes you
we are sheep and if we ever stop
forgetting who we are and where God’s
brought us from when he asked us to
humble ourselves and help somebody
that’s maybe in a different position we
don’t become the answer to the problem
so if you’re gonna be the answer you’re
gonna have to have humility somebody
give God some praise right there that’s
a good point right there all right so
some of y’all like thoughts I’m like
that’s a lot but give me a scripture
Philippians 2 verse 3 it says don’t be
selfish got you don’t try to impress
others got everybody else and then what
does it say
be humble think of others as better than
yourself don’t look out only for your
own interests but take interest in
others also too you must have the same
attitude that Christ Jesus had has the
mic what attitude was that I’m glad you
asked Matthew 20:28 for even the Son of
Man Jesus came not to be served but to
serve others and he wanted to serve at
such a high level that he decided to
give his life as a ransom for all the
sheep and goats I want you to see God’s
gonna present you with the problem
that’s one goat level I even this week
y’all can get some goat level issues in
me like no no no I used to do that but
I’m gonna do that no more
and it’s a test can God trust you to not
just see the problem
but be the answer to the problem and the
only way you can do it is with humility
let me give you another one okay David
was the answer to the guitar problem so
what ended up happening is after he was
anointed the Bible tells us that Saul
used to be marked he used to be anointed
but at the moment that David was
anointed that spirit left from Saul and
a tormenting spirit came to him and so
he’s in that I could preach that that’s
a whole nother thing but I’m gonna tell
you that Saul now is being tormented but
he’s still in power he’s still the
leader the king of all of Israel and
some of his advisors came to him and
said hey these dis tormented spirits got
to go what can we do look at in 1st
Samuel chapter 16 and we’ll start in
verse 14 it says now the Spirit of the
Lord had left saw and the Lord sent a
tormenting spirit who sent the
tormenting spirit yeah I can’t even I
can’t even I can’t even but I think the
tormenting spirit was to get Saul back
to goat level he allowed something to
come be a thorn in his side to mess what
his Knights mess up his sleep so he
would remember where God found him but
he was so prideful he never got to that
level so instead of being healed he just
wanted a what do you call it a when you
take some Medicaid he just wanted to be
medicated instead of have a miracle and
that’s what many of us try to do and
look what it says he said he said the
tormenting spirit that filled him with
depression and fear some soft servant
said to him a tormenting spirit from God
is troubling you he’s like you think let
us find a good underlying good in your
Bible good musician to play a heart
whenever the tormenting spirit troubles
you he will play soothing music and will
suit you’ll soon be well again
alright Saul said find me someone who
plays well so he wants him to be good
and he wants them to play well and
here one of the servants said to solve
one of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is
talented he wants him to be good plays
well and be talented he’s a talented
heart player a guitar player stringed
instrument player now only that he is a
brave warrior a man of war and has good
judgment
he’s also fine-looking young man and the
Lord is with him I guess this person had
a crush or something Lord so Saul sent
messages to Jesse to say send me your
son David the shepherd what did he call
him David the he got noticed because of
his excellence at Goat level I can’t
even stay there God is not looking for
you to be on the level that you’re going
to he just wants you to be excellent on
the level you’re on
he said sin for David the shepherd Jesse
responded by sending David to saw along
with the young goat there would have
been no goat to send if David wouldn’t
have tended to the goats and and I
should just call this message the goat
but um he said a donkey loaded with
bread and wine skins full of wine verse
21 so David went to saw and begin
watch this cuss word serving he’s going
to the palace she would ultimately rule
in but the first time he ever steps foot
in that palace is not as the king but as
a servant God will many times allow you
to experience a piece of what he’s going
to have you to be able to rule in but
will you stay in a place of service long
enough for him to give you the position
and you not take it for yourself he went
to the palace as a servant and saw love
David very much and David became his
armor-bearer
then saul said a word to Jesse please
brother let your son stay here all the
time I am very pleased with him and what
whenever the tormenting spirit came from
from God troubled saw David would play
the harp he’d play the guitar and then
Saul would feel better and the
tormenting spirit would go away okay so
this is what I want you to understand
there was a problem
and David see he’s in a season where
he’s not at the level he’s gonna be but
he was an answer to a problem and the
reason he was an answer because of two
words skill and excellence I need
everybody to hear me it said it needed
somebody good somebody who played well
somebody who was talented it’s crazy
that when people try to find the best
people a lot of times they don’t come to
the church in any field I want the best
administrator they sent out a
headhunting firm to go to somebody who’s
been working on their craft for 15 years
and don’t care nothing about God and I
said God why is that he says because my
my people think that developing their
skill is a problem they rely on me when
I’m relying on them I’m asking you to
work what’s in your hands so that when I
put my approval on it the entire world
will be able to see how amazing I am and
this is the thing many of you because
you in life now and so many things that
happen you feel like you’re too far
behind and God says I need you to I need
you to get more skilled if you want to
write the book I need you to start I
don’t care what it sounds like in
starting phase stop comparing your seed
to somebody else’s tree just do it you
gotta get better at communicating with
people I’m an introvert but I called you
to talk to the whole world so I I need
you to start going into places and where
you’re uncomfortable and allow me to
give you a Moses um type of solution
where Moses had a sister sister sister
problem talking and he he he had a
stuttering problem and what God said is
open your mouth and I will fill it and
there’s some people in here that need to
be encouraged that you don’t have to
have everything God says step in the
room and I’ll show you what to do open
your mouth and I will fill it pull out
the paper and I’ll tell you what to
write
but David worked in steel and in
excellence and so he became the answer
to the Kings problem
look what proverbs 20 to 29 says do you
see someone skilled in their work they
will serve before Kings
they will not serve before officials of
low rank what what this is saying is how
you handle what you do that seems
insignificant right now qualifies you in
God’s eyes to do it on high levels
well Pastor Mike I’m just a single
mother trying to raise this kids do
everything you do as unto the Lord I
know I know you’re missing another key
component to make this thing happen but
God says I’ll give you the desire and
the power to do what pleases me you stay
in my face I don’t make you the mom and
the dad I’ll allow people to come around
you’ll be able to do that and there will
be nothing broken and nothing missing I
can do that if you’ll trust me
but will you do everything that I’ve
asked you to do in excellence and with
skill one of one of my mentors tutor
Bismarck he told me this he said Michael
the sure way to go to the next level is
do what David did torment what’s
tormenting your leaders I said what he
said the only reason that David went to
the palace is because he tormented what
was tormenting Saul and all of us have
some boss leader parent right now my
question is are you tormenting what
torments them so practically when I
heard this I went to Bishop Gary
Macintosh the former pastor of this
church and I asked him what are some of
the things that bother you the most what
are some of the things that frustrates
you and he told me it’s like man I
always need my car to be cleaned and
sometimes I’m doing meetings and stuff
like that and I can’t find to do time to
do it
and he was like and Mike man I love the
way you dress but I don’t like shopping
and so that I said that’s all you need
to tell me and from that point on his
car was never dirty
I’d go pick his car up in the middle of
the night and wash it and say nothing
and he come out and it was clean week
after week after week after week I would
take my own money on my little salary I
was still on the goat salary and I would
see something for him and I buy him
jackets before I bought myself one I
would take him places and I started
intentionally door panting what
tormented him and I saw another level of
leader he was able to be everything he
wanted to because he wasn’t worried
about these little things that were
tormenting him and he was able to be the
fullness of the excellence I’m telling
you right now some of y’all need to walk
into the office tomorrow morning and ask
the boss
what’s bothering you what’s frustrating
you well the fact that there’s always no
mints in this bowl you say don’t worry
about that ever again I’m call me mr.
mint cuz I’m going to Costco or sales
and I’m gonna buy a boat of mints and
I’m gonna keep him at my desk and I paid
for him
but every time I walk into that office
i’ma make sure there’s mints there and
I’m not gonna say hey boss
you see there’s mints here hey boss you
see there’s mint as elevation comes from
God he’s not looking for the person to
to elevate you he’s trying to see do you
have his heart to torment what torment
says and some of y’all are like both
handsome like you don’t really have to
be skilled and excellent to do that this
is what I’m telling you every child in
this room what torments your parents for
many parents dishes torment your parents
they hate dishes and you could make a
decision right now in the ninth grade
then every day that I come on I don’t
pay rent I don’t pay for the tissue I
like my butt with I don’t pay I don’t
pay for nothing from now on I’m always
frustrated that mom always was me in the
house at 9:30 but I’m telling you start
tormenting with torment still make a
decision there will never be a leave on
this grass ever again
I’m telling you this may seem trivial
but when you become the answer to a
problem it’s a sure sign that God has
marked you for greatness well I’m just
gonna give you one more cuz some of
y’all can’t even handle this right now
okay look the last thing that David did
David was the answer to the Goliath
problem see this is the one we know him
for but I want you to know he was the
answer to the goat problem as the
shepherd he was answer to the guitar
problem tormenting Saul’s demons and now
he’s going to be the answer to the
Goliath problem the entire Israel army
is scared of Goliath and David gets sent
to the battlefield and he hears him
talking about his god who is this
uncircumcised Philistine oh talking
about my god and there’s some situations
I want to be very clear with you that
happen that are so much bigger than you
that you can’t do this without dying cuz
cuz you’re like Pastor Mike okay I got
some real problems though I got health
problems
the doctors have only given me so much
time to live I have a child that’s
addicted to drugs I’m glad you’re
talking about dishes and being nice to
people but I got real problems our house
is in bankruptcy right now I don’t know
if I’m gonna have the money to finish
school like they’re about to repo my car
right now I got real problems I have a
good life I have a giant in front of me
but do you know the same guy that was
with you on goat level and guitar level
it’s gonna be the same guy that’ll stand
with you on Goliath level and this was
the confidence that David had the
biggest problem that he’s ever seen
before but he said in First Samuel
chapter 17 verse 32
is that look at the gangster he came
with to this Goliath situation a king
don’t worry about this Philistine David
toe Saul
I’ll go fight him it ain’t nut look what
Saul said don’t be ridiculous
there’s no way you can fight this
Philistine and possibly win the same way
that the doctor told you there’s no way
you’ll be able to fight this cancer and
win the same way they told you there’s
no way your kids go come off these drugs
the same way they told you there’s no
way you can go to the Northside and
build a multi-ethnic Church
there’s no way I got a Goliath problem
oh I feel this right now
don’t be ridiculous you’re only a now I
want you to remember you’re gonna have
to go back a couple of messages but this
is Saul’s narrative about himself
remember when God said he was marked he
said I’m only a and now he’s trying to
project his own deficiencies on somebody
else be careful of people who will tell
you what you can’t do because it’s what
they believe about himself he said but
you’re only a boy and he’s been a man of
war since his youth but David persisted
no no no no I’ve been taking care of my
father’s sheep and goats I’ve been
surfing at gold level ah he said when
the lion and the bear came to steal the
lamb from the flock I go after it what
happens when you’re not playing defense
in life and you’re playing offense when
things are coming after you and you’re
not like oh but you’re like what happens
when you see the enemy trying to come
against your children and you’re like oh
god please don’t and you’re like in the
name of Jesus I declared that map what
happens
it’s time for the church to stop playing
beeping but us to go and start moving
forward and playing often he said I went
after it he said when the challenge when
the problem came and said I went after
it and he said I go after it with a club
and I rescued the lamb from its mouth he
was about to kill it and I beat him
until he let it go he said if the animal
turns on me I catch it by the jaw and I
Club it to death he gangster y’all I
don’t I mean I never seen nobody just be
clubbed to death here I’m saying he said
I have done this both to lions and bears
I’ve done this both the problems that
were big and problems that were bigger I
believe God and faith when I didn’t have
money to get into high school and I’ma
believe God in faith to be able to
complete college I believed God what I
didn’t have an apartment and I’ma
believe God what I’m trying to get this
house
I believe God I’m trying to tell you
somebody I believe God for the common
cold
and Psalm I believe God for this this
disease that’s in my body right now
[Applause]
said I’ve done this book for the lines
of the bear and I will do it to this
pagan Philistine to some of y’all need
to get you’ll need to get a little
ignant y’all been pumped too long like
if the fact that I’m still here means
that God has been faithful to me and
this problem that’s in front of me God
don’t handle you too
it’s it for he has defiled the armies of
the Living God he’s violated what God
said
just like sickness violates what God
says he said by by His stripes we are
healed
I’m just telling you look at verse seven
look at the look at the confidence he
had he said the Lord who rescued me from
the claws of the lion and the bear will
Westview me from this Philistine the
answer when you’re faced with the
Goliath problem is confidence in God
when you’re faced with the gut level
it’s humility when you’re faced with the
guitar’ level of problem it’s skill and
excellence but there’s some things that
are bigger than you and when you’re
faced with the Goliath issue the only
thing that I can rely on is my
confidence in God
today there’s some people in here that
have been in the weight and God says I
don’t waste the weight I make you I work
on you I help you in the weight but the
way I help you is I’m gonna introduce
you to some different problems some goat
level problems will you have the
humility to stay and do what doesn’t
line up with your pedigree or your life
now if God told you to take a homeless
person off the street and give them a
place to stay for a week and take them
to get a haircut would you do it could
God use you in your vacation taking
children in private school having not
tithing self could could he potentially
use you just to pay for the person’s
meal behind you
well they got money they got in the line
so they must have money well they don’t
know when they swipe their card it’s
gonna say insufficient funds
and instead of them praying for an
answer
I put an answer in the car right in
front of them as gold level will we
develop our skills to the excellence
point to where when God asked us to be
in front of great people
we won’t Barriss ourselves or him cuz he
say they worked in it in obscurity and
now I’m just putting my anointing on
what they do and it’s causing demons to
leave what happens when you administrate
so well that demons what happens when
you watch kids so well that demons what
happens when you sing so well demons
leave then God says then you qualify for
good I have problems stuff you can’t do
on your own that you gotta believe me
for but I got a secret I’m undefeated
and if you would just stand and be
willing to go up to go after the thing
that’s trying to intimidate you well god
I’ll never be able to get my master’s
degree
why go fill out the application I’m with
you why don’t have the money he said I
do like do y’all hear what I’m saying to
you and I know it’s hard for some of us
because I’m gonna tell you the last
problem we have a humanity problem when
sin came into the world humanity all of
us got this problem but God so good that
he didn’t give us a problem without the
answer
we have the answer is Jesus and today I
want to pray for you
cuz I believe so many of you are marked
by God and there’s something he wants to
do in you that nobody can take away but
you got to change your perspective of
the problems you’ve been facing this is
just preparation in the process for all
that God has called you to would you
just bow your heads if you’re in this
room and you know that you’re in a
waiting season and it’s been hard for
you to become the answer to these
problems but use your saying now okay I
get it
the answer is me like the problem has
just found its answer and with God on my
side there’s nothing we can’t do if
that’s you and you really want to stand
and be the answer to some of these
problems that you’ve been facing just
raise your hand right now all over this
room there are people I want to pray for
you first father I thank you that father
today our confidence will be built in
you that you are now taking us from a
place of playing defense to a place of
offense father God that we will be able
to have the humility to do whatever
you’ve asked us to father that we’ll
work on the skill and the excellence of
wherever you’ve placed us and father God
we won’t be confident that you can do
anything that you have called us to and
we will stand in the face of giants
whether it be depression whether it be
fear whether it be a bankruptcy whether
it be family father God and you will
allow those giants to fall as our
confidence is placed in you I’m
declaring right now that every March
person in this room will not run from
the problem but father God will see your
strength through the problem and today I
thank you that you would strengthen
their faith strengthen their arms
strengthen their resolve and allow them
to be the answer that you sent to this
earth
to represent you in Jesus name Amen
hey listen everybody’s eyes closed and
heads bowed steel if you’re in this room
and you need the humanity answer you
need Jesus for the first time I’m gonna
pray for you right now I’m gonna pray
that you would invite Jesus into your
heart if that’s you only you know if if
this is for real for you but we’re gonna
pray this prayer together as a family
even all those watching online and if
you mean this I want you to pray come on
we’re gonna pray all together everybody
say God thank you for sending Jesus as
the answer today I believe he lived he
died and he rose again with all power
just for me come into my life change me
renew me transform me I’m yours in Jesus
name Amen
let’s give God some praise in this
building
I have been meaning to write something like this on my site and this has given me an idea. Cheers.
