let me tell

you me and all 46% of my Nigerian is

glad to be in the

[Applause]

building what a privilege it is to serve

you all I um was praying

and asking God to just bring me into

alignment with what he’s already decided

to do in this room I believe that God

has given me a word that is going to

bless you tremendously but it would be

remissive me to not take the time to

acknowledge Pastor Paul and Pastor you

find thank you so much for the absolute

pleasure and privilege of serving this

house I have to tell you Pastor Paul

when we were coming in my father told me

that many years ago he came to this land

when he came to this land you brought

him here and it was nothing but land and

you told him that you were going to

build this church and I am just crazy

enough to believe that not only did you

build an edifice but that you built a

people who are going to rise up and

change this nation and so Pastor Paul

Pastor F thank you so much for the gift

of God that rests on side of you I’ve

been growing up hearing about them my

entire life and so to have the

opportunity to come here honestly it is

full circle my father my Bishop Bishop

TD Jake my

daddy who gave me a sense of identity

regardless of what the culture said and

made it his mission to bring me back

home thank you for standing on the wall

and bringing me back here I love you

tremendously now you know I’m F to say

something about my

man

he just too good to me you

know child I was up there doing

breathing exercise cuz I am stressed

right now and uh cuz you all are so

classy and dignified and I love that but

you know I’m just a a half niga girl

from America and

uh half Niger girl from America n know

they finished last

what I’ve been studying

and my husband took my hand and prayed

over me and reminded me and anchored me

in my identity and God and the unique

anointing that is assigned to this

moment and so honey I thank you for your

constant covering and love over

me

good I didn’t even know the delegation

was in

Nigeria they told me they were here hey

y’all hey Chad

they done got us in it

[Music]

[Applause]

now I wish a weapon would Luke

23 I love you too Luke

23 verse

32-35 is one of these going to help me

sing like the worship team

no

okay this moment in the text Jesus is

headed to the Cross to be put to

death I only have three verses to share

with you from this moment but I believe

that it will help you as it has served

me well if I had to take a subject it

would be blinded by

potential Luke 23:32 begins and I’m

reading from the new King James version

it says there were also two other

criminals LED with him to be put to

death and when they had come to the

place called Calvary There They

Crucified him and the criminals one on

the right hand and the other on the left

then Jesus said forgive them Father

forgive them for they do not know what

they do and they divided his garments

and cast lots and the people stood

looking on but even the rulers with

their sneer say saying he saved others

let him save himself if he is the Christ

the chosen of God Spirit of the Living

God you have ordered my

steps and here we

stand God

speak do the thing that only you can do

when you have decided and encounter must

happen I thank you God for the gift of

wisdom of Revelation prophecy of insight

I thank you God that there is nothing in

the spirit that is withheld from me in

this moment so my prayer is that no fear

no nerves no anxiety would stand in the

way of what you have decided to

do I am but a girl but you father when

you use my lips when you use my heart

lives are

changed breathe on this word as only you

can do make space inside of them that

they may receive rece all that is in

this word for them and then seal it let

it take root and produce fruit in Jesus

name amen amen you guys can be

seated I’ve been

studying a new form of science that is

beginning to emerge and it’s called epig

enics epig enics is the study of how our

environment affects our genes it has the

ability to affect our genes epigenic is

really doing a deep dive into the matter

of nurture versus nature instead of it

being one or the other epigenic suggest

that it is a combination of them all and

that depending on the environment it

determines what Gene will be expressed

inside of us so if a family has high

blood pressure and high cholesterol that

is having some type of genetic

connection some genetic

predisposition but also there is

something environmentally that allows

that Gene to be expressed if they were

raised in a different environment

perhaps that would not be their reality

but the environment and their genes come

together and activate an

outcome that means that had I been

raised in a household where maybe I was

told that I had a beautiful voice and

could sing like an angel that I would be

up here singing with the worship team

but I guess that was not able to be

activated in my life and so now here I

am preaching because the environment in

which I was raised allowed for that Gene

to be activated because of

environment I don’t think that this is

any secret to those of us though who

recognize the role that environment

plays in forming who we are even our in

our spirituality scripture lets us see

that before God placed Adam and Eve in

the garden man and woman in the garden

that he first created an environment for

them he creates an environment for them

because if he just places them while

things are still being structured it

will not bring out the best version of

who they are and because he recognized

that he was going to give them an

assignment that assignment had to be

directly connected to the environment in

which they were

placed let’s say for instance that he

does not place them in an environment

and then he says to them to be fruitful

and multiply and to fill the Earth they

would have looked around and said my

environment is not conducive to the

Mandate in which you have given me God

however in His Infinite Wisdom

recognizes that the environment that I’m

going to place them in though it may not

make sense to them when I say these

words the environment is designed to

help them take the word that I am giving

them and bring it to life wish I could

say that

better some sometimes God gives you a

mandate he gives you a purpose he gives

you a vision of what is possible and yet

because of the environment you were

placed in you think to yourself this

environment cannot possibly birth this

thing that God has given me not

recognizing that God didn’t give you the

word until the environment was ready for

you to manifest that

word a lot of times we look at what God

did but not how God did it

God didn’t just place them in the garden

he didn’t just create the environment

for them he spoke a word and that word

produced the

environment he said let there be light

and there was light and our problem is

that we spend so much time focusing on

what he did that we miss out on how he

did it because what I see when I look at

how he did it is that the word itself

created an

environment

that means when God gives me a word

God’s not just giving me something to

think

about he’s not just giving me something

that I can tuck into a folder and think

about later when God gives me a word God

is offering me an opportunity at a new

environment so when we say that Africa

hasn’t seen its best days yet we could

say hey we’ve heard that before or we

could allow that word to produce an

environment and that environment to

activate the gene that allows us to be a

part of what God wants to see happen in

the

earth his

word creates an

environment that’s why when we come into

spaces like this and we receive the word

the depression and the anxiety and the

frustrations and the disgusts it all

goes away because in this environment

the word is more powerful than the

Lesser words that have been dragging you

down and the enemy knows that in order

for him to undo the the environment that

the word created he just has to speak a

word that disrupts the

environment Genesis 3 the serpent

doesn’t just hand her the fruit and say

eat it he speaks a word that changes the

environment her perception of how she

sees

God so now suddenly the God that I

thought was good suddenly the God that I

thought was for me suddenly the God that

I thought created an atmosphere for me

to flourish is now the god I can no

longer trust the word of the enemy

shifted everything

too this were a woman evolve I would

take a minute and I would tell you how

just when the enemy thought he won that

God spoke another one another word

specifically to the

woman and he says this other word about

the woman because he recognizes that the

woman is now going to go through a

series of oppressions a series of being

disregarded because she was once the

Gateway that allowed sin to enter the

world but because God understands that I

have a plan to restore the woman I’m

going to create an environment for her

with a word that she doesn’t even

realize is hand hanging over her life

because this will be the word that

allows her to know that I am not

finished with the woman yet though this

happened to the woman though this

happened through the woman I’m also

going to make sure that restoration

happens through the woman as well

Genesis 3:15 lets us us know that it is

the woman who will carry the seed of God

and that seed of God will then go on to

crush the head of the serpent that means

that though it started with a woman it’s

also going to end with a woman I’m going

to take the very woman that was once

ridiculed and oppressed and used her to

bring about restoration Africa I want

you to know that what’s going to happen

in this nation is not just going to be a

job for a man and it’s not just going to

be a job for a woman it’s going to take

both of us taking our position and

moving with power and authority in a

very jool type of way that in my last

days I’m going to pour out my spirit on

All Flesh and my sons and my daughters

are going to prophesy when the woman

unleashes her tongue I want you to know

that that’s when hell is really going to

get nervous because we now got two

people talking back to the devil about

what can or cannot happen in this

generation the man is a part of the

generation for sure but when a man and a

woman who create generation come

together and say it cannot happen on my

watch now we are a force field against

the enemy I know this may not be the

place but I am the one to tell you woman

that when you take your place that

demons start trembling I know it’s not

woman evolved but I got to take a minute

and talk to the women and let you know

that you have been ordained to be a part

of the fight this is not just a job for

the men God says I put oil on YouTube I

put anointing on YouTube I put glory on

YouTube and the man needs to take a

break every now and then and when a man

takes a break he’s got to know that

there’s a woman who’s willing to push a

devil back baby you ain’t never seen

prayer until you seen a woman praying

over her children’s children baby you

ain’t never seen prayer for a nation

until you see a woman deciding that this

country shall be saved my family shall

be saved you have never seen cancer

rebuked until you’ve seen a woman who

has decided it cannot happen on my watch

Women Make some noise in this

place Women Make some noise in this

place Women Make some noise in this

place like you recognize that you carry

glory to like you recognize that God put

oil on you too like you recognize that

no weapon formed against you will

prosper and that you got to take your

place too Make some noise in this place

I want to hear what it sounds like when

a woman unleashes her tongue I want to

hear what it sounds like when a woman

says if you’re looking for a mouth to

prophesy use my lips if you’re looking

for somebody to decree a thing in the

earth use my mouth

women the environment can’t shift until

we have a collective

sound we can’t back the enemy up until

we have a collective

sound and we need the voices of each

gender

to fully engage with the war necessary

to reclaim our

territory I’ll tell you this that the

same serpent that attempted to create a

different environment by undermining

what God

Said recognizes that though this story

is still going to play out that in order

to intercept the plan that has been set

in motion that he will have to prohibit

creation from coming to the

realization that God spoke a word the

serpent spoke a word but it’s not until

they speak a word that the journey can

really kick

off that’s why in Genesis 4 it makes a

point to let us know that Seth’s son

enosh once he is born that that

generation begins to call upon the name

of the Lord

again now all of a sudden where there

was once a war between

environments the environment that God

created and the environment that the

serpent created because SE Seth son

enosh calls on the name of the Lord now

he’s got a compass to help him navigate

the war between the

environments when we call upon the name

of the Lord when we open our hearts up

for worship it allows him access to help

guide and order us between the war of

environment Ms that we exist in we exist

in between a war of

environments on one hand I do need to

engage in politics to make change but

the war of environments is that I want

to do good and I have to stay away from

corruption the war of environments of me

doing something different that my family

has never seen done before but me also

staying connected to this family I’m

navigating a war of

environments and in order for me to do

so successfully I cannot do it in my own

might I cannot do it in my own power I

cannot do it with my own wisdom I have

to call upon the name of the Lord

because when I call upon the name of the

Lord he helps me to understand how to

navigate The War of

environments this text was particularly

intriguing to me because it speaks to

God’s ability to help us understand the

environments that we are Waring against

and being sensitive enough to be

led from this point in Genesis 4 in

scripture we see that God begins to

download to particular servants

strategies on how to navigate different

environments he says to Abraham get out

of your father’s house to a land that I

will show you get out of this

environment and move into that

environment he says to Moses and Midian

you’ve been in Midian too long I’m not

finished with you in Egypt you’ve got to

go back there you got to move out of

this environment into that environment

because this environment that you were

currently in is not designed to help you

activate the gene to activate the

leadership to activate the Redemption to

activate the Deliverance that is

connected to who you

are and so God is constantly giving us

downloads on which environment is best

suited to help us birth our purpose

that’s why I am in relationship with God

and not just a religion girl girl

because I recognize that if I were just

a religion girl I would have got saved

checked that box and went to live in any

kind of way but I am a relationship girl

who recognizes that my primary goal on

Earth is to establish the kingdom of

heaven and if my goal is to establish

the Kingdom of Heaven I cannot establish

my kingdom and call it

Heaven I have to seek you first the

kingdom of God because when I see the

kingdom of God it allows me to

understand what establishing the kingdom

of heaven looks like with my gifts with

my talents in my region with what God

has given me I have to seek out God so

that I can move with wisdom and strategy

and precision because I do not have time

to miss I have missed already too many

times in my life and this is a season

where I recognize that Precision is

everything Precision is everything for

you you have to have strategy we cannot

do random we got a real devil to fight

we got a real war to win we got a real

generation to save and we cannot LLY gag

and be random and be distracted by what

is happening in the culture when we have

been called to introduce a new culture

if I am so busy complaining that I am

not changing anything then I am just as

much responsible for the outcomes that I

am frustrated with but when I make it my

responsibility to say God if you are

allowing me to see it help me to

understand and the role I play in being

a solution because I am a citizen of

your kingdom and I move at your command

and I speak what you tell me to speak

and I go where you tell me to go and

because I do not want to miss and

because I am already coming from behind

I recognize that acceleration is only

possible through

obedience everyone wants to accelerate

but very few want to follow with the

obedience required for acceleration but

the acceleration is contingent on your

obedience when you move with obedience

God says I can trust you and when God

says I can trust you God says I can

allow you to have favor and when you

have the favor of God it doesn’t matter

who your opposition is it doesn’t matter

who your enemy is because I’m moving

with so much Integrity that God has

already gone ahead of me and made my

crooked path straight I know you’re

talking about me but when I come through

the room you’ll have to go on mute

because God has already ordained me to

be in this room I know you don’t know

what to expect with the book but I hear

God saying if you write the book I’ll

help you get the pages in the hands of

the people who need them the most you

don’t know how to raise the child but

you know God gave you the child and if

God gave me the child then God’s got a

strategy for the environment I can

create for the child I have to stay

connected with God because God is

showing me how to move between these

environments he’s showing me how to move

between environments that almost killed

my parents to move in between

environments that other Generations

could not withstand he’s moving somebody

in this room into spaces of innovation

he’s moving somebody in this room into

spaces of Technology you are literally

going behind the enemy’s camp and you

recognize that you’re going behind the

enemy’s camp with a mission and this

mission is too big for you but God says

I am bigger than the mission that is

ahead of you greater is he that is in

you than he that is in the world if I

sent you behind enemies lines it is not

so that you can become them it is so

that you can change them and when you

get finished changing them they’re going

to want to know who your God is you

think it’s about science it’s not about

science it is about the kingdom you

think it’s about technology it is not

about technology it is about the kingdom

it is not about health care it is about

the kingdom it is not Hospitality it is

about the kingdom I’ve got people in

this region On Assignment to establish

the kingdom and there’s going to come a

day where all of my undercover officers

are revealed in high places all of my

undercover officers are revealed I

didn’t know that you was working all

along but the moment you said yes the

moment you walked into the door God says

I had her on assignment I don’t know who

you are but I hear God saying get used

to high places get used to being in

rooms bigger than you get used to being

in rooms where you got to learn some

things get used to being in spaces that

don’t make sense I’m calling you into a

room so that I could grow the gift of

God I placed inside of you and that’s

why they had to leave you and that’s why

they had to walk away cuz had they

stayed you would have shrunk but because

they got out of the away they made room

for you to be all that God said you

could be what’s up Nigeria you’re about

to make me

act there’s somebody in this room and I

hear God saying you about to throw in

the towel and God’s just about to get

started I hear God saying that I sent a

girl all the way from America I don’t

have no business being in this room I’m

tired I got six kids waiting at home but

God told me there’s something in this

environment there’s someone who needs

you to come and activate the gift of God

I placed inside of them if that’s you I

want you to take 10 seconds and give God

a praise so that he can activate the

gift of God that’s on the inside of you

activate activate activate activate

activate

activate

activate activate activate activate

activate activate activate

activate activate I came to put you in

position activate I came to remind you

who you are activate I came to remind

you that the heavens are backing you up

I came to remind you that there’s a

hedge of protection around you I came to

remind you that no weapon formed against

you will prosper I came to remind you

that though he slay you you can still

trust him cuz when he gets finished

slaying you baby you going to slay every

demon connected to your family just let

me finish working my will out in your

life when I get finished

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you see what happens to

us is the same thing that happens in the

epigenic the external environment

changes that’s on the

inside before we even know what’s

happening so when you experience

discouragement and when you experience

Division and

frustration it changes your environment

so

subtly that you don’t realize that

you’re no longer activated the way you

once

were that you’re no longer passionate

the way you once were it happens so

suddenly that you don’t even realize

that it’s happened in your heart it

happened so suddenly you used to be

passionate about it now you don’t

understand I used to think it was

possible now it’s no longer in reach

what happened that discouragement that

was in your environment invaded your

heart and now your

heart you don’t have the heart for it

anymore you don’t have the heart for the

ministry you don’t have the heart for

the marriage you don’t have the heart

for the degree you don’t have it you

once had it what happened it got hard it

got tough they started betraying me and

I just don’t have the heart that I once

had for

it same thing happened to

Sarah who once wanted a child in

Bible and then when the angel of the

Lord finally says to her you’re going to

give birth she

laughs how did I go from being an

expectation to being the one who laughs

at the very thing I was praying for

something

infiltrated my inner

environment and because it infiltrated

my inner environment I don’t show up

with the same heart and the same passion

that is required not negotiable it is

required that you have your heart in

this thing because you cannot change

anything unless your heart is in it you

cannot withstand the discouragement

unless your heart is in it but I came

here to let you know that somebody’s

getting their heart back I came here to

let you know that God will not leave you

on the mission field without taking care

of the wounds that have affected your

heart I came here to let you know maybe

I brought your heart back with you maybe

I came to tell you that God can do a

heart surgery right here right now in

this room that if you would be willing

to open up your mouth and to open up

your spirit and say God I want my heart

back I want my heart for the things of

God I want my heart for this purpose I

want my heart for my children I want my

heart for this ministry God I want it

back I want it back I want it back I

can’t keep living and walking like I

don’t have a heart anymore I can’t keep

pretending that it doesn’t matter to me

anymore and I cannot continue to watch

your generation be destroyed and to

watch my family system crumble while I

sit back and do nothing I hear God

saying everything I’m going to do

through the Earth I’m going to do it

through you but I got to do it through

your heart I cannot do it through your

intellect I cannot do it through your

connections I can only do it when your

heart is in

[Music]

it

so we

have this external

environment that we must

navigate and it is tricky it is

certainly the knowledge of Good and Evil

these environments that we must navigate

I can see the good and I can see the

evil and I got to straddle both sides of

it and I got to dip and weave and Bob

and weave to make sure that I stay

strategic but I am telling you your

external environment is not nearly as

important as navigating your inner

[Music]

environment and doing the work to

identify how did doubt how did worry how

did

fear how did anxiety rob me of my

depression how did Pride how did Ego

make me Chase the dollar when I was once

chasing change helped me to understand

what happened in my heart where I became

afraid God helped me to understand where

the cracky is because I recognize that

you are a restorer and anywhere there is

a crack that you can feel it again and

God if you feel it again then maybe I

could be used again and if I could be

used again maybe the promise that you

have connected to my name can be

established in the

earth and so this

text is so powerful to

me because it shows

us not just the compassion pass of

Jesus but the Heart of

Jesus and these three

verses when his external environment is

hostile he went from having the luxury

of creating his own environment with his

disciples to moving into a season of

Destiny where he can no longer have the

luxury of being comfortable but because

he has mastered his inner environment it

doesn’t matter how hostile the

environment is outside of him because he

has mastered the inner environment I

want to talk to somebody who’s got some

hostile territory to invade I want you

to know that you do not have to be

afraid of their arrows by night nor do

you have to be afraid of the suffering

that may come because when you have an

inner environment that reminds you of

the promises of God when you have an

inner environment to help you navigate

the hosp hity God says I’ll send you

behind the enemy’s Camp so that you can

unlock the places where people like you

have been barred I will send you by this

is not everyone’s message I’m sorry I

came all the way here to only talk to a

select few but I God told me that there

are people in this room who he has

already ordered for them to go into

hostile environments and to turn them

around for his glory to go into hostile

environments and I know that you’re

tired and I know that you’re weary but

maybe I am just here to serve as your

reminder that if you don’t go behind the

enemy’s camp that you will leave the

rest of us behind if you don’t go behind

the enemy’s Camp you will never see why

he preserved you I’m not crazy I know

who’s in this room some of you have no

business even being at House on the Rock

but because God kept pulling you and God

kept trusting you and God kept saying

it’s not over it’s not over it’s not

over you got a second win to help you

you kick a few doors down and I came

here to let you know that the wind is

about to blow again I came here to let

you know that the gate is going to be

open and it’s going to be open because

you kicked that bad boy

[Music]

down

L Jesus on the

cross who has come out of the

garden because he had to master what was

coming up in his

heart he felt

afraid there’s a point on the cross

where he says father father why hast

Thou forsaken me he felt

forsaken but what he does that we don’t

do is if it comes up it came

out it comes up in our heart and we

suppress it

down and then we wonder why our heart is

sick and then we wonder why we don’t

have the passion and then we wonder why

we don’t have the will and we wonder how

one little discouragement can knock us

out of our course but something powerful

happens when it comes up and out it

makes room for Glory I’m glad you

finally admitted it because now that you

admitted it I can take it from you God

is such a gentleman that he won’t reach

in your chest and take it out but if you

would offer it up to him as a Living

Sacrifice I know we already gave our

offering but somebody else has something

else that needs to be laid at the altar

somebody else has some betrayal that

needs to be laid at the altar some

abandonment that needs to be laid at the

altar some rejection that needs to be

laid at the altar cuz it’s been in your

heart too long and for this next stage

of your journey you got to keep your

heart clear you got to keep your heart

pure cuz God’s got Glory connected to

that heart and God will not contaminate

his glory with your worry God will not

contaminate his glory with your fear God

will not contaminate his glory with your

anxiety so lord it’s me it’s me it’s me

oh God standing in the need of prayer

not my mother not my sister but it’s me

oh God standing in the need of prayer

there is an enemy in my chest there is

an enemy in my head now I need this mind

that was also in Christ Jesus to also be

in me because I want to see what’s on

the other side of the

[Music]

suffering he does this work

Jesus with such

[Music]

eloquence with such

power that even the very people who are

crucifying he says father forgive

them for they know not what they do how

how did you do that what did you do in

your heart that made you see your enemy

as your ministry what did you do in your

heart that made you see your enemy as

the every person you’re called to what

did you do in your heart heart I I I

love A good sermon about haters but some

of us don’t have haters we just have

ministers waiting for us to finally take

the call some of us just have sheep

waiting for us to step into the call and

Jesus is

blinded by the

potential not of who they are but of who

they could

[Music]

be I see

you I could see them as my my enemy I

could see them as a

threat I could hold them accountable for

all of the ways that they hurt

me but that

would contaminate my

heart I could do it I could but it would

weigh my heart

down and my heart cannot be weighed down

in this season so here we see Jesus

stretched wide and hung High looking at

the very thing that hurt him saying

father if they were who I know they

could be they would be so sorry that

they are letting this happen but because

I am blinded by their potential I’m not

asking you to give them what they

deserve I’m asking you to help them to

become to help them become the kind of

person that looks back on this and say I

wish I would have never I want you to

understand that the very people who hurt

you when you get finished being you that

they’re going to look back and say I

wish I would have never ran up on him

like that I wish I would have never

pissed them in hiside I wish I would

have never betrayed them I didn’t

realize that by betraying

them I was actually pushing them into

[Applause]

position that’s

why this text is crazy to

me because I’m thinking to myself Jesus

you knew you had to go to the Cross why

are we asking for them to be forgiven

but God is so blinded by the potential

of who these people could be that it

doesn’t even matter that he’s going to

make it work together for the good he

wants to make sure that anything he

touches along the way doesn’t just

experience his pride they don’t just

experience his ego but that they

experience his

heart I ask God God why this

message I ask God why this

country I ask God why this

season and God made it clear to me that

the only way we do this the only way we

change this country the only way we

change our family

systems is if we do the work for our

inner

environment so much so that when we look

at the devastation and we look at the

destruction and we look at the room

for there to be change that we do not

become

discouraged but instead we are blinded

by potential because when we are seeing

the potential of what could be instead

of the pain of what it is we will pray

differently we will walk differently we

will talk differently the theme of the

conference is unshaken and I struggled a

little bit because everything I was

receiving in the text let me know that

it is going to be unshaken your heart

but the reason your heart must be

unshaken is because somebody in this

room is about to shake things up and you

cannot shake things up with a faulty

heart where are my my people who have

the heart to shake things up where are

my people who have the heart to change a

nation I hear God saying that when you

get finished doing this work that you’re

going to shake things up for a

generation that you’re going to shake

things up for your nation Get Ready Get

Ready Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready Get

Ready Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready

ready Nigeria get ready get ready

Abuja Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready Get

Ready somebody’s about to shake things

up you’re not even going to see them

coming you won’t even recognize they’re

in the right space that they’re in the

right

environment cuz the work that I’m doing

with them I’ve been doing in secret I’ve

been doing in their prayer closet I’ve

been whispering crazy ideas in their

head I’ve been making them think that

they need medicine I’ve been making them

think that they are going wild and

insane and I hear God saying you are not

going crazy I’m giving you downloads for

the next Dimension you are not going

crazy you have tapped into a glory that

awaits for I reckon that the sufferings

of this present time are not worthy to

be compared to the potential for Glory I

came here to let you know yes Nigeria

will be a super power yes it will be

bigger than America but what it will

have more than anything is it will be

marked by the glory of God it will be

marked by the promises of God and every

enemy and every demon and every

principality that has been assigned to

this region I rebuke it in the name of

Jesus I’m not waiting for it to get out

of the way I’m not waiting for it to not

be strong I’m waiting to get the heart

to be strong enough to say I wish cancer

would I wish a disease would I wish a

weapon would I’m waiting for me and you

to get a

[Music]

heart that can carry

Glory a

heart that can be a channel for

Glory a heart that is not easily

discouraged a heart that can put your

hand to the plow a heart that doesn’t

mind sacrifice in order to get on the

other side a heart that can say father

forgive them for they know not what they

do but just because they don’t know what

they’re doing it doesn’t mean I don’t

know what I’m doing I’m going to stay in

position they don’t have to know who I

am I know who I am and God when you get

finished they’re going to know who you

are too because I’m not just looking to

make my name great I’m looking for the

glory of God to overflow in such a way

that they wonder how could the place

that was once

cursed how could this

Jesus who was once so

cursed that he was crucified by two

criminals rise with all power in his

hand maybe just

maybe he was who he said he was and he

did the work to maintain the heart

posture to be who God said he could

be

certainly it is time for us to shake

things

up but most

importantly it is time for us to make

sure our

heart remains

[Applause]

unshaken

[Music]

unshaken I ask God who would be in this

room and how I could best serve

them and God let me

know that the leaders of the Next

Generation no I’m sorry my

apologies leaders of this

generation because so often we’re so

busy thinking that we’re next that we

don’t do the work now that positions us

for

next you are a now

generation you are a now

generation and that

voice that gift that

anointing that strategy that God has

given you it’s

real it’s real and it Mak may have never

been seen before it may have never been

done before and compared to what you’re

up against it’s probably so

overwhelming that is easier to be

discouraged than to step into

Destiny but I ask

God to give me a word that would help

you get your heart back in

position to feel strength coming back

into your

heart and God made it clear to

me that none of that can be

possible unless we are willing to lay

down those

enemies

those

disappointments those

pains that made us lose heart in the

first

place I love scripture scripture tells

us that God will give us the desires of

our

hearts doesn’t mean that God will give

you whatever you

desire it means that God will give your

heart a

desire I

believe that in this room God is giving

heart’s

desire that there’s an Awakening coming

to your

heart in a way that you don’t even know

if you can trust because you God I don’t

know who you are you’ve been

disappointed so many times that you put

your heart into it that the very idea of

putting your heart back into it again

feels like a threat it feels like

another opportunity for a heartbreak it

feels like another opportunity for

betrayal and I hear God saying I know it

hurts you I know it hurts you when they

betrayed you I know it hurts you when

they denied you I know it hurts you when

they talked about you I know it hurts

you when you got rejected I know it

hurts you when you couldn’t move the way

that you wanted to move but I hear God

saying I still need you to get your

heart together I still need you to put

your heart together cuz I’m not finished

writing the story I’m not finished

telling you what the outcome is going to

be I’m not finishing if you give up

before God gives up who will God use who

will God use to shake up the Earth if

you give up before God gives up then

maybe somebody else will take the

leadership position that you were

supposed to be in and so get back in the

game Wounded Heart and all get back in

position failure and all get back in

position rejection and all God says if

you move I’ll heal if you walk I’ll talk

if you do what is necessary to take your

position I’ll give you the purpose as

you go you don’t get the luxury of the

full plan but what I will give

you is the assurance that I will never

leave you nor forsake

you what I will give you is the

assurance that you will not be in it on

your own just as I was with Abraham just

as I was with Isaac just as I was with

Jacob I will be with you

too Jesus stays on the cross not because

it feels good not because they

understood him Jesus stays on the cross

because he could not lose heart at a

critical moment where everything would

change I’m almost out of time but I’m

telling you that this moment is just as

critical for you as it was for Jesus in

the text this critical moment of

transition is the moment in which

everything is going to shift and when

everything begins to shift you’ll see

why you had to get your heart together I

commend you for coming to lay your heart

at the altar because this is the type of

begging and pleading where we say God

not my will but your will be done that

changes the position out of of our heart

it this is the type of posture that says

God if someone else could do it please

give it to them but if you’re going to

choose me to do it God help me to

understand who I need to be to get it

done this altar ought to be flooded with

people who recognize that this heart

disease is going to move me out of

position but because I am so committed

to seeing what glory is connected on the

other side of my name I will humble

myself I will posture myself for God to

breathe on me again for God to take the

shattered pieces of my heart and to pull

them back together again God I want to

do something that allows your glory to

be seen in the earth I want to do

something that allows My Generation to

recognize that you did not forget about

us I want to do something that allows

resurrecting power to come back God’s

going to resurrect joy in your family

God’s going to resurrect Worship in your

family God’s going to resurrect

relationship in your family God’s going

to resurrect finances in your family you

don’t have to believe it I just need one

or two three crazy people who are crazy

enough to believe it because three of us

could shift this nation three of us

could change the outcomes three of us

could bombard heaven and Heaven would

respond when Heaven responds there is a

sound that is released in the atmosphere

When Heaven responds there is a worship

that is released in the atmosphere and

just as enosh begin to call upon on the

name of the Lord and the Lord began to

respond again when the people who are

humble who are called by my name humble

themselves and seek my face there I will

begin to shift things again I know you

may have not done what you could have

done but the fact that you allowed that

enemy in your

[Music]

heart because there’s an enemy behind

those

lines

when we repent we

say I know I’m not functioning the way I

should be

functioning I know I’m not moving with

the level of Integrity that I need to

move with I know I’m not moving with the

level of passion connected to this

purpose I see it

God but you sent a word for

me and this word you sent from

me is not just so that I could have a

good time at a the

conference this word you sent from

me was so that my

heart could experience the

transplant it

needs for me to

walk into your perfect will and plan for

my

life we always talk about David being a

man after God’s Own

Heart I happen to believe that that was

a shift that took place after his heart

got

displaced when he was at home instead of

at

War and his heart allowed him to do

things that he should not have done and

then to perform murders that should not

have been performed how is this the man

who was after God’s heart it’s because

David had enough wisdom to say examine

my

heart Clean My Heart Lord and renew a

steadfast spirit in me a steadfast

spirit that sounds like an unshaken

spirit

at this

altar as close to it as you can

get I’m

asking for those of

you who’ve been dealing with the

disruption of your inner

environment disrupted by doubt disrupted

by worry disrupted by betrayal that

whatever your disruption

is I’m asking you to lay it at the this

altar I’m asking you literally to be a

Living

Sacrifice that you would lay your heart

at the

altar and when you call upon God that

you would ask God to renew a steadfast

spirit in

you because you

recognize that you are not just here to

take up space Maybe nobody has told you

in a while let me be the reminder you

are not a coincidence you are not a

random you are not here to be used and

abused you are not here here to be

ignored you are here to establish the

Kingdom of Heaven you are a

disciple and as a disciple you have a

mission but we need a steadfast Spirit

to get it

done I want to pray with

you I want to pray with those of you who

are learning to

master an inner

environment I was talking to my friend

Dr Anita Phillips and we were talking

about the scripture guarding your

heart and often times when we hear this

scripture we think about keeping things

out but when we look at the original

translation of this scripture it talks

about guarding your heart because out of

it Springs the issues of Life which

means that we have to guard it not also

because of what can come in but because

we want to be diligent about what comes

out of

it when we guard our heart in such a way

that there’s something in this heart

that I cannot

lose I can’t lose

this I can’t lose this passion I can’t

lose this power I can’t lose this

anointing I can’t lose this creativity

some people are guarding because they

don’t want things to come in I’m

guarding it because God gave me

something and I believe in what God gave

me and anytime I don’t leave my heart

guarded then something comes and it

snatches it away but I got to guard my

heart to finish this degree I got to

guard my heart to build this family I

got to guard my heart to build this

ministry I got to guard my heart to be

in this marriage I got to keep something

inside of my heart what is it that I’m

keeping I’m keeping

Assurance keeping

peace

trust God I just want to trust

you I want to trust that this isn’t the

end God I want to trust that all things

are wor working together God I want to

trust you again I want to trust that you

didn’t forget me I want to trust that

you’re not ignore me I want to trust

that you see me God I just want to trust

you again I clap my hands I lift my

hands in worship I go through all of the

Motions but nobody knows that I’m having

a hard time trusting you with that child

I’m having a hard time trusting you with

this business God I ask that you would

just restore that trust you’re watching

online and you’re asking God to restore

the trust that you lost literally all

over the world can you imagine what

happens when all of us begin to get our

heart back all over the world surely we

would look at one another and say holy

holy holy holy holy holy can you imagine

how the Earth would be full of God’s

glory if we all took our position and

got our hearts

[Music]

together so Heavenly

Father Spirit of the Living

God the God who

sees the god God who

knows The God Who restores the God who

causes all things to work together I’m

not just talking about any old God I’m

talking about the one and only true God

I’m talking about the God who goes ahead

of me and makes my crooked path straight

I’m talking about the God who knew that

I would have this betrayal before it

even happened I’m talking about The God

Who understood that I would be in this

family before I took my first breath I’m

talking about the God who knew me before

he formed me in my mother’s womb I’m

talking about the God who set me apart

who Sanctified me anointed me I’m not

talking about any oh God I’m talking

about the God who knows the way that I

take I’m talking about the God who

teaches My Hands to War I’m talking

about the God who has already understood

what my great great great great great

great great great great great

grandchildren with through and can still

go back and help me understand what my

ancestors went through I’m talking about

the God who does not live in time I’m

talking about the God of my yesterday

today and tomorrow I’m talking about the

God of my forefathers and the god of

those who are to come this is not any

ordin AR

God and God because you do not sit in

the realm of

time you are not stuck in the ways that

we get

stuck and because your ways are not our

ways you don’t blame

us for the ways that we’ve been showing

up because man looks at the outward

appearance but God you look at the

heart

and you know where they got lost along

the

way but you also knew that this moment

would occur so God I thank you for a

Divine

appointment I thank you that you went

out of your way to get their heart back

in

position I thank you God that you love

them not because of how they perform but

simply because of who they are I thank

you God that because of who you are you

throw our sins into this sea of

forgetfulness for your own sake you

don’t even keep a record of our wrongs

so God while we’re keeping tabs you’re

just waiting for us to say yes this is

our

yes we say yes to your will we say yes

to your way we say yes to your path we

say yes to your purpose we say yes to

this job we say yes to this family we

say yes to this environment we say yes

to where you have positioned us because

we recognize that we do not have the

permission to move and until the inner

environment is healthy enough to move to

the next with strategy God I thank you

for every gift every Talent Every Soul

represented at this altar thank you God

for preserving

them thank you God for giving them

wisdom and

strategy thank you God for knowing what

would happen before it even took place

God I pray that as they have this moment

of surrender that they would experience

a radical encounter with you not just

now but for the years to

come that they would consult you before

making decisions that they would consult

you as they go into different spaces and

industries God that they would seek your

face and God I thank you that you will

reveal yourself to them God open their

eyes that they will not miss the moment

when you have revealed yourself to them

and God I thank you that you will not

just stop at revealing yourself to them

but that you will reflect yourself in

them and everywhere they go that you

will go with them that they will bear

the image of you God because they have

opened themselves up to no longer have

the image of that betrayal or the image

of that abandonment we relinquish right

here at this altar Any Other Name that

has been exalted over your name and we

lay it down we lay down the Heartbreak

we lay down the depression we lay down

the sorcery we lay it down right now in

the name of Jesus and we say we lift you

up Jesus we lift you up Jesus we lift

you up I plead the blood of Jesus over

them and when that blood is over them

God I recognize that nothing can cut

through the blood I recognize that

nothing can get through the blood so

allow your blood to cover them like

never before and as your blood covers

them let it guide them let it cleanse

them no condemnation no

shame no more

shrinking God called their people to

them subtract from them those who wish

them

harm and open their eyes

that they won’t miss the moment where

you haven’t just restored them but

you’ve given them a hope in a

future thank you God for this

moment thank you God for this

church thank you God for these

people thank you for always showing up

in Jesus name I Pray

[Music]

Love
