[Music]
the word God is gonna do something so
beautiful today so we’re looking that
first sample from chapter 13 verse 7 to
14 and so it says and some of the
Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the
land of God and Gilead and as for Saul
he was still in Gilgal and all the
people followed him trembling then he
waited seven days according to the time
set by Samuel but Samuel did not come to
Gilgal and the people were scattered
from him so saul said bring a burnt
offering and priest peace offerings here
to me and he offered the burnt offering
now it happened as soon as he had
finished presenting the burnt offering
that samwell came and soul went out to
meet him that he might greet him and
someone said what have you done
Saul said when I saw that the people
were scattered from me and that you did
not come within the days appointed and
that the Philistines gathered together
and McMath then I said the Philistines
will now come down on me at Gilgal and I
have not made application to the Lord
therefore I felt compelled and offered a
burnt offering and some well sets us all
you have done foolishly you have not
kept the commandments of the Lord your
God which he commanded you for now the
Lord would have established your kingdom
over Israel forever but now your kingdom
shall not continue the Lord has sought
for himself a man after his own heart
and the Lord has commanded him to be
commander over his people because you
have not kept what the LORD commanded
you father God I thank you for this word
I thank you that as we go into your word
Lord God it is your voice they will hear
not mine
I thank you that you will speak to each
and every heart presence I break every
spirit of resistance in this house in
the name of Jesus Lord God I thank you
that you would do only that which you do
when your power is in the room Lord God
have your way in Jesus name Amen amen
you may be seated
thank God can we just give a beautiful
just like just let’s just praise God for
our leaders pass it to Ray Robertson
pastor First Lady Sarah Jakes Roberts
Amen it’s always an honor just to be
here with you guys so today’s message is
titled destiny is not convenient it’s
inconvenient or not convenient but I
like inconvenient
you see I’ll share a little story with
you guys so last week we went to the
International pastors and Leadership
Conference run by Bishop TD jakes it was
phenomenal it wasn’t Dallas I made just
life-changing so the first night we get
in there the first session they had on a
Wednesday night Bishop had this amazing
message called dress for what’s next and
you guys have to watch it on the bishops
village calm I mean all the messages are
there so he has this message that’s for
what’s next and in the message he’s
basically talking about you know
stripping off the garments that are
holding you from getting to what’s next
and when I heard that message I there
was I felt convicted and so the whole
you know after after the message
happened like we go up I go back to the
hotel room and in my mind I’m like God
what garment do I have on what is it
that I’m still that I could still be
holding on that is costing me or that
could cost me what’s next the message
basically was was was dying too to
yourself in a deeper way and the truth
of the matter is that I didn’t know why
I felt convicted I didn’t know I was
like god this is a blind spot there’s
something you’re trying to show me but I
don’t see it I don’t know what it is the
next day
that morning the Lord had led in my
heart to sew into a game there was a
number he gave me to sew into what was
happening at the International pastors
and Leadership Conference
so I purposed in my mind when I hear
that number called that I will go make
that sew that seed and you know what
just a little detour sometimes we think
that you know when the parcel would say
that you know there are ten people here
too so this number sometimes I remember
when I used to be that person that oh my
god did you really tell him that but the
truth is I remember when God revealed to
me that no these are numbers that the
Holy Spirit inspires them to say because
there are people in that room that it is
a sacrifice that God is requiring of
them and so when so that morning you
know we go to the session and I’m you
know I’m just ready I’m like okay god
I’m waiting to hear the number you know
so the morning session passes a lot of
things happen I go for the night session
and then when I heard him say you know
what there are people here and you’re
supposed to sew this and I just I was so
fast with that pen I say that’s me
that’s me so I go up to the altar but as
I was walking up to the altar the Lord
began to speak to me and he began to
show me what my blind spot was and he
said that you have not yet embraced
being inconvenienced and I was I was at
the altar and I’m like God what are you
talking about because you know I think
I’ve made a lot of sacrifices I left my
family I left my home I’ve gone where
you told me to go I I do what you told
me to do you know I’m not understanding
what you mean by I have not embraced
being inconvenienced and he said no
you’ve embraced being uncomfortable but
there’s a difference he said you’ve
embraced accepting the unfamiliar but
there is a part of you that has a desire
for arriving at this place when
everything is convenient because you see
to be inconvenienced is is when things
are not suitable to your needs it’s not
– your time it’s not suitable to your
expectations
it goes against even your own will a lot
of times and when he said that to me I
realized that actually I am waiting
there there is a desire in my heart for
that day when everything just seems
convenient just in the Jets going to
preach the gospel hallelujah and there’s
nothing wrong with that but I explained
what what he was showing me and I said
God and I was at that altar and I cried
like a baby because there was so much
happening that day
and it felt to me like a funeral because
he showed me what what the call he has
in my life and and what he’s leaving me
to do that it will cost me everything it
will cost me everything
to the point that for him to even reveal
to me my blind spot it cost me a
sacrificial seed that he will not even
tell me unless I even sacrifice because
what I gave it was it may not be much to
some but after you pay some bills that
was over 90% of what I had on me and he
said that I will not even reveal this to
you unless it came by the way of
sacrifice because your life is gonna
cost you your life and I I was like a
child I was I was crying while in my
heart I said God please don’t let them
feel me I’m very close to the altar
please just just push the camera away
because it was such an emotional time
because I realized that at that altar I
was killing that desire to arrive to
this place where everything is just
suitable it fits my time it fits my
needs it fits my desires it fits and God
says and I remember when I got back to
the hotel room that day and I was like
wow Lord there is something there was a
message here there is something deeper
in this and even over the course of the
days
he started speaking to me about a man
we’re gonna even we read about soul
you see Saul was a man who he had
embraced being uncomfortable because
when Saul went when Israel desired the
king and God said you know what you guys
want a king I’m gonna give you a king
and they and he gave them salt but but
the manner in which so the prophet
Samuel he reveals to the prophets mo who
he has chosen as king over Israel
the prophet Samuel has a you know has an
encounter with Saul and this is done at
first it was done privately where he
anointed Saul and said that saw you are
the one that the Lord has chosen as king
but this was a private affair and then
you fast forward and just read the whole
book of 1st Samuel is gonna bless you
and you fast forward and now they’re in
there you know Samuel gathers all the
Israelites because he wants to now
reveal to the people who the kook God
had chosen as king and when it was time
to reveal to the people Saul was hiding
to the point that God had to reveal to
the prophet Samuel where Saul was hiding
so they could get him and tell the
people that this is the one the Lord has
chosen
so if Saul is hiding obviously he might
have felt inadequate he might have felt
like we have no reference for this
Israel has never had a king I don’t come
from a line of kings being a king was
something unfamiliar to him but yet he
took that call he took that position he
embraced what was uncomfortable but in
the passage that we read you see that
passage was was very symbolic because
that the Israelites were in the heat of
a battle the Philistines were coming the
Philistines came against them with over
thirty thousand men and the Israelites
had only 3,000 men it’s like as someone
asking you to use your tithe to pay your
whole bills
it’s like brah you know unless you’re
doing something else
they had 3,000 men to fight over 30,000
men
the Israelites were panicking and so
they go down to Gilgal and they’re like
okay we have an instruction the prophets
MO had told the King to wait here in
Gilgal for seven days so that he will
bring a word so that he would do the
birth the the burnt offering and the
peace offering and now in that time the
burnt offering was symbolic too it’s
almost like a Thanksgiving to God for
the for you know delivering them the
peace offering was symbolic to surrender
to God and but this was an offering that
was only that should only be done by a
priest and although sama was a prophet
he was also a priest he was raised by a
priest Eli and so and and was
someone that in past passages when
something like this happened not only
was he coming to do a burnt offering he
was coming to give a word from God to
give them strategy to let the people
know this is the manner in which you’re
gonna win this battle or to let the
people know if God is with them in the
battle so they needed some more to get
there and so each day that passes by I
can only imagine that the people’s
hearts they’re like okay you know what
seven days day seven day six day five
day four day 3 day 2 day one and soul
it’s like you know what this is the
appointed time and it’s funny when you
think about the appointed time because
sometimes we look at the appointed time
that God you told me yourself you know I
feel like this is the time I believe
that this is the time this is supposed
to happen but the appointed time is
never when you want it to happen the
appointed time is when God says so
because it is as it is in heaven so
shall it be on earth not as you want it
to be on earth that it is in heaven
so the appointed time even when it looks
like a delay it is not yet the appointed
time if it’s been if it looks like it’s
being delayed because God will do things
as it is in heaven that is the prayer
jesus told his disciples to pray so
Shawn is thinking that you know what
Samwell told us that this is the
appointed time
and so if someone is not here we got to
do something because in Seoul’s mind
he’s like the people are scattering from
me the people are leaving me we don’t
even have that much men in the first
place and now the people want to leave
me it was inconvenient it was it was
inconvenient to the battle it was
inconvenient to his position as king
because I can only imagine that when
people were leaving him that they were
mummering in there they were saying
things about him you know what I don’t
even know why we we desire the king this
man does not know what his doing Samuel
has abandoned as God has forsaken us and
as Saul perhaps was hearing what the
people were saying he put himself in a
position that he should never have you
see I wonder in your life if you’re in
the place that God has sent you God that
the word of God was that Saul should
wait in Gilgal but then saul is saying
that the Philistines are gonna come upon
me in Gilgal so the very same place that
God said wait for me looks like the very
same place that there they might die
have you ever been in a place where God
has sent you somewhere God told you go
to LA God told you go to this job God
told you go to this place and you get
there and nothing is working God told
you go here and I’m gonna make you a
great actor and you’ve done everything
but act because nothing is working God
said go here you’re gonna be a musician
and you’ve done everything but just only
singing in the shower and bills need to
be paid and your family is calling you
what are you doing with your life and
God is not speaking and you’re on your
knees crying and you’re fasting God
where are you and he is silent because
you see Sam well soul was waiting for
Sam or to hear a word from God what are
we gonna do the Philistines are gonna
come upon us in the very same place you
told us to wait and you have not come
there is no word from God about what we
ought to do
and the Philistines are gonna come and
meet us here
have you ever felt in the place and
everybody is wondering what are you
gonna do with your life you you’ve been
here for too long
initially you said just give me four
months just give me six months just give
me one year I believe God is gonna do
something you’ve been here five years
and you’re not sure what’s going on and
God is silent and you’re like God he
said that I can’t hear you did I make a
mistake that I you know am I still in
the right place what do you want me to
do and he’s giving you dreams about
everybody else but yourself what do you
do you see even in God’s silence there’s
purpose because when God was saying wait
for me here
wait I need you to your life has to be
inconvenient because you see the waiting
was part of God’s what was part of his
plan to get the glory you see the
feeling sign prior to what is happening
Jonathan Saul’s son had defeated one of
the main officers in the Philistine army
the news went round even though when
they spread the news they said Saul
defeated the man and so they were like
why you know the Israelites are just
doing their thing
the Philistines in their anger they
gather all these men to say let us go
and just finish the Israeli army the
Israelites army so the Philistines in
their minds they’re thinking it’s a
numbers game oh because it was
one-on-one you won okay let’s make this
army to army the Philistines are
thinking that let’s get all of these men
and we would finish the the soldiers of
the Israelites the enemy was thinking
numbers and we are children of God we
are not to think like the enemy we’re
supposed to think like God in that
moment Saul started thinking like the
enemy he’s like all the people are
scattering
from me you see when God is aware of the
plans of the enemy because when the
enemy is against God’s people they’re
against God and so God is silent for a
reason he’s silent because the Phylis
eyes think that oh they need a big army
and God is like you know what I want the
army to even be smaller for the
Israelites I’m silent for a reason so I
actually want the people to scatter from
you
you see sometimes when God is silent in
your life and people start to critique
you people start to say to falsely
accuse you God is saying oh I’m silent
for a reason I want you to know who is
really for you I want you to know who’s
really with you because they are with
you not because of what you know or what
you can give them a lot of times you you
you have all these people around you and
they’re only around you because of what
they can take from you and there are
times that God wants you to not know
what you’re gonna do tomorrow who will
still stand by you when it looks
confusing who will still stand by you
when it looks dark there are times that
God needs you to not know who will still
believe in what God is doing in you it
was all part of God’s plan he said I
know you don’t know what’s going and I
know you can’t hear with a word from me
and it seems like you’ve just been
hopping from couch to couch to couch no
I need you to be in that place so you
know who opened the door for you when
you need a place to sleep because where
God is taking you he needs real people
in your life you see time with weed out
people that have agendas so when God is
like no I need you to be delayed because
the people that have agendas and motives
need to be weeded out from this army I
need people that will trust me I need
people that trust what I’m doing God is
always silent for a reason he’s not
silent because he cannot
are you he’s not silent because he has
forsaken you he’s silent because he’s
actually arming you on another hand when
God is silent it’s also testing your
dependence on him you see
imagine if you become it’s easy when
when we are honest at the stage where we
don’t believe me we may not have much to
say God you know what even if you make
me a millionaire if you ask me to give
it all away I will child listen you need
to be groomed to get to that place you
need to know how to give away 10000
before you give away a million God has
to groom you God has to know that when I
bring you to a place where I set you up
if I tell you to give it all away and
move to India for six months then you
will do it because you have embraced me
inconvenience from the very beginning
you are that dedicated to me that you’re
not going to rely on things because
family the higher you get up the harder
it is to choose God’s will and so he has
to groom you from the little things he
has to groom you this was just that Saul
had not been King for that long and
already God is like let me get let me
can I test your dependence on me
we’re just waiting just waiting Saul
wait a few more days he couldn’t do it
oh the people are scattering from me so
I must do the burnt offering I must do
this because we need to do something
it’s funny why we think we can help God
be God you see because the truth of the
matter is that when I read this passage
as I continue to read it
I see Saul had a son named Jonathan and
there was something that Jonathan did
that I believe was the plan of God from
the very beginning one day it talked
about how one day Jonathan this is still
in them in the midst of the army where
Saul has done this and samo
giving him a word that the kingdom will
be taken away from you but there the
fact that there is still a battle to
take place and they said one day
Jonathan and his armor-bearer now first
of all this was a battle that three
thousand people were scared to do and
Jonathan and his ammo bearer two people
he tells us I’m a bear let us go and
fight these people and he said that for
God cannot be hindered by many or by few
he understood something about God that
God even if it’s only the two of us we
can win this battle and he asked God for
a sign and God gave him that sign and he
went to the camp of the Philistines and
the whole purpose was when you read the
passage you see that God actually wanted
to partner with them because they were
not just coming against the people they
were coming against the name of God and
God caused the Philistines to be in so
much confusion that they started killing
themselves you see when you’re in that
place that you don’t know and you’re not
sure what is going on when the enemy is
after you you are a word from God he’s
not just attacking you he’s attacking
the God in you and so God is like no no
no no I’m not I’m not trying to rush
this process I want to have the glory in
your life because this is actually about
my name this is about what I’m doing on
the earth but Samuel I mean Saul was not
ready to be inconvenience this is a
thing that that that in that position it
could literally whatever decision you
make if it’s like God you know what I’ve
been it this whole thing you sent me out
here and it’s not working I’m going home
but going home or quitting will cost you
everything on the other side of your
sacrifice and then you become bitter and
and you become entitled because you feel
like God owes you something but all the
longer was trying to get you to what he
was calling you to
you see I watched I watched an interview
where Tyler Perry was on TBN and he was
interviewed by dr. Juanita Bynum and it
was such a beautiful interview because
he talked about how when he first
started his plays he was like I knew
that I had a word from God and the first
play he did he planned it so that he
planted in a way that he had an
expectation for 1,200 people to show up
at this play so imagine the the
financing the staff in all of that and
he’s excited because he’s like child God
gave me a word and when the play
happened 30 people came and he’s like
God what is this because it caught he
now money is gone he does the play again
it fails he does it again and again and
again and it’s failing to the point that
his job is his job told him they’re like
we’re not gonna give you any more time
off for you to do your place either you
you work here or you quit and he’s like
you know what I just know God gave me a
word is gonna happen he quits his job
the place still keep failing to the
point now he has to beg he’s literally
talking about begging money from his
uncles and his aunts to give him twenty
dollars here and thirty dollars here
just to eat and the whole time his he’s
asking God like God how am I gonna get
through these bills how am I gonna get
through this and he says God says
nothing every time he asks god god how
am I gonna do this he didn’t hear a
thing over and over and over again it
kept failing failing failing and it
didn’t mean that God didn’t give him a
word but you see what we look at as
failure if God doesn’t look at it like
that we call it failure he’s not calling
it failure he’s calling it grooming
we’re like oh man this thing didn’t work
out God is like oh they are right on
schedule look at that okay look look at
his child
and it reached the point where we’re in
his fin and they had called him to do
this show for the house of booze and
he’s like I’m not doing it you know what
god I’m tired and someone is like no
dude this show and he’s like okay I’m
gonna do the show and that day and all
the conditions just were it was just
weird I mean it was cold outside the
heater and the place was broken so it’s
like you know what this is just not
gonna work
and he wasn’t I believe he was in the
greenroom or he was in the dressing room
and he was like God like why like why
are you not talking to me how am I
supposed to get through my bills how
come every time I bring this up you’re
not talking to me and he’s like I don’t
want to do this anymore
and he talked about that in that moment
God spoke and told him I am God you stop
when I say stop and from that day and he
tells him look outside and there was a
line around the building and from that
day this it was such amazing interview
from that day he talked about how each
and every play became successful and God
revealed to him that I was proving you I
was proving you I needed to make sure I
could trust you when I take you to where
I’ve planned for you to go you have
you’re not a failure you haven’t failed
family all along God is building your
team you don’t even know it
goddess goddess goddess strengthening
your ability to be dependent on him
because at the end of the day the Word
of God says that our lives are hidden in
Christ so this is not a better control
thing God does not need to control you
he’s trying to get you to who you really
are your truth the real you is in Christ
and so to discover that person this has
to die because the the desires that we
have and what is convenient to us is
what we’ve been accustomed to by society
it’s not based on the truth of God’s
Word concerning our lives so God is
never trying to control you or make you
some kind of puppet jesus said that he
who loses his life for my sake will find
it it’s two different lives he’s talking
about he who loses the life that he has
known on the earth will find the life
that I knew when I put him in your
mother’s womb this is about truth and so
Saul did not know how to embrace being
inconvenienced but embracing being
inconvenienced is the answer that you’ve
been looking for it is the it is the
step it is the step it is the it is a
place when you’re like you know what I
embraced this thing I’m not gonna run
from it I’m telling you that God would
take you to a place to establish you
because that was the plan all along for
Saul’s life but if God has stablished
him in rebellion I believe that that
would have opened a spiritual door of a
stronghold of rebellion because if God
established Saul’s Kingdom over Israel
forever that would have meant that God’s
initial plan was for our Savior to come
to Saul’s lineage that’s really what it
means that I would that he went when
once mo told him that what have you done
the Lord would have established you he
would have established your kingdom in
Israel forever meaning that the Savior
our Savior was supposed to come through
Saul’s lineage but if he did that in
rebellion then who knows that maybe at
the appointed time for Jesus to come
that Mary would just don’t be a
stronghold of rebellion and Mary’s like
II know L feel like it you know I I’m
over here trying to get married okay but
when we look at the language of David
David was a man who had a heart for God
David would do anything that God even in
his wrong when he realized that he’s
wrong he’s like God search my heart give
me a clean heart
David opened the door where it’s that
you know what we’re not gonna be
rebellious in this language
and it’s interesting it’s so funny
because even when we think about the
location Gilgal that very location is so
symbolic because you see the name Gilgal
came from let’s even open to Joshua I
believe it’s five versus nine you see it
says okay then the Lord said to Joshua
the day I have wrote Oh
this day I have rolled away the reproach
of Egypt from you therefore the name of
the place is called gilga to this day
now what is happening is this during
this time the Israelites had crossed the
Jordan River to walk into this is when
they were preparing to come into the
Promised Land because now they have come
to a place where you know that the
children that were born to the the
people that left slavery now God had
given them an instruction God had given
Joshua and instruction to circumcise all
the males because though they were born
in the I mean their fathers all died in
the wilderness unfortunately because of
their stubbornness and so the children
of those that came out of slavery God
tells just what circumcise all the men
and circumcision was very it was
symbolic – almost like a purification a
purification and a sign of God’s
covenant this is a sign that the promise
I gave your ancestors the promise I gave
you that you would inherit the promised
land it is coming – it’s it’s
manifesting in front of you so
circumcision in the Old Testament is
likened to the purpose of water baptism
today and so God says that the moment
that Joshua had circumcise all the males
God gives him this word that this day I
have rolled away reproach of Egypt from
you he said I know that your ancestors I
know that you came from slavery but I’m
you’re walking into the Promised Land
even if you had the mentality that maybe
we will just be stuck in the wilderness
you are not slaves anymore you are free
you are walking into a place of
abundance
Guil God was so symbolic it was a place
that God rolled away reproach rode away
rode away accusations rode away
insecurities inadequacies God wants to
establish you this was a place that God
purposed to establish Saul the place
that God is telling you wait a little
longer
it’s the place he wants to establish you
God sees the shame you see when God is
saying that I am rolling away the
reproach that means I saw the reproach
you’re wondering God do you see me do
you see what I’m going to do you see the
people accusing me do you see what
people are saying about me do you see
that it looks like I’m confused do you
see what is happening God sees it and
before the problem claimed he had a
solution and he’s saying that if you
will wait a little longer there is a
place that I have purposed to establish
you and in that place you will forget
all the nonsense that you’ve experienced
you forget the pain you’ll forget the
shame you’ll forget all of that because
I have a place to establish you and the
only thing that you would take away from
the place of your reproach is the
purpose behind it because although the
Israelites were slaves in Egypt it was
still part of God’s purpose to gather
them together and so God is saying I
know what you’ve been through I know
what people are saying about you I know
it looks confusing I’m gonna roll the
reproach of poverty I’m gonna roll the
reproach of inadequacy I’m gonna roll
the reproach of an assault victim I’m
gonna roll the reproach I know what you
have been through I see you and I have a
plan to establish you if you would wait
on me but waiting is inconvenient
because we’re people that we want
answers now God when is this happening
is this happening now God had a plan all
along
and I came here to encourage you that
God has a plan for your life
you are not in this by yourself but
where he where he desires to take you
you have to have a life that is dead to
your own will because God is not taking
you to Heights for you to just relax
there is work to do up there the same
way there is work to do here and Jesus
is the perfect example when we look at
the life of Jesus on earth it was not
convenient at all coming to die on the
cross like it was not convenient but on
the other side of that was glory on the
underside of that was increased on the
other side of that he was given a name
higher above every other name God wants
to make your name great what are we
willing to die to our own will to die to
our own agendas to say God I want to be
inconvenience for you will I want to be
inconvenience for your purpose I want to
I want to be the kind of person that I
can say yes that if you tell me that you
know what just moved to this place and
and because there are people you want me
to touch there there’s there’s a purpose
you have that it’s not about things it’s
not about who’s with me who leaves me
because you will never forsake me jesus
is our example we don’t have to do burnt
offerings or peace offerings we have the
cross and the Word of God now tells us
take up your cross and follow me
because the cross represents death to
self the cross represents death to
agendas Jesus had a will but then he
tells us I did not come to do my will I
came to do my father’s will because in
his father’s will is his truth are we
willing to say I want to be
inconvenienced for Jesus
I want to be inconvenience for his
purpose I want to be inconvenience for
the truth because you see when the Bible
says that the Spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak it is that the spirit the
spirit knows the truth the spirit knows
what who you really are the spirit is
always willing but the flesh wants to
keep you down
the flesh is perishing but God has a
plan for your life and being
inconvenienced is just part of it it’s
not a negative thing that’s what I
learned that day that’s what I learned
that went when it because the emotions
was not just was not just to the point
of like oh god this would never be the
case the emotions was like wow how
didn’t I see this all along why was it
that I was holding on to this idea of
this day when everything just seems
convenient no no that’s not part of the
plan it has never been part of the plan
and when we embrace this as our new
normal that when we go through
circumstances when we go through the
valley when we go through the things
that look like the shadow of death we
know that God is with us we know that no
God you have a purpose there is a
purpose in the silence there is purpose
in each and everything that you’re doing
in my life are we willing to be
inconvenienced rise with me
thank you Jesus thank you Jesus I want
us to take a moment
eyes closed head bowed I want us to take
a moment and think about the thing think
about the thing that even now Holy
Spirit I thank you that you will bring
things to their mind what is it that you
have been holding on to that God this
needs to happen now that this is for
some people this is a word literally of
life and death because for a son you
were on the verge of walking away you
are literally on the verge of walking
away and you’re like god I don’t know if
I can do this anymore
but it’s funny because the moment saw
sacrificed did what he was not supposed
to do Samwell showed up you are at the
brink of it and you don’t even know you
were right there you don’t even know it
and God sent me today with this word to
encourage you to stay strong to
encourage you to say that this is your
normal no one is frustrated when they
think they have to brush their teeth
because it’s their normal unless you
have a hygiene problem this this is our
new normal that yeah I may not be away
it’s not it might not be always easy but
I trust God I trust what God is doing in
my life I trust I trust that he’s for me
he’s not against me he is for me he is
for me he is for you so I want you that
as the Holy Spirit is bringing to mind
what is the thing that you’re holding on
to that God is saying just lay that the
altar just let it go just let it go just
let it go that it this is not you
holding on to this is actually a
deception of the enemy
it’s a deception of the enemy to think
that no everything is supposed to be
this way this is this is what society
has taught us but we live by the kingdom
we are in the world but we are not of
the world so we have to go back to our
roots and our roots is in his word our
roots is he showed us how how to live
and that is through His Son Jesus if
you’re here and you’re like you know
what I want to be inconvenienced for
Jesus just raise up your hand and we’re
gonna seal this in prayer there god I
know I don’t want to keep holding on to
my agendas I don’t want to hold on to my
to my thoughts and my will and my way
you see something it’s interesting the
scripture talks about how stubborn s how
stubbornness is is almost like into
idolatry because stubbornness as
idolatry because you are you are holding
on to your mindset and your will you
have raised it higher than the purpose
of God and so it’s like you are you are
you’re worshiping your idea over God our
lives are hidden in Christ Jesus who I
really am yes hallelujah child let the
people know who I really am
it’s in him it’s in his word it’s in his
way it’s in his leading I am not by
myself even when you’re silent God I
trust you I trust you just raise your
hand then we’re gonna pray father god I
thank you that you see each and every
one in this house you know them Lord
and as we come before you were saying
that god we don’t want to hold on to our
ways of doing things anymore yes we
moved yes we we did the things that were
unfamiliar to us but lorica we’re also
saying that we’re ready to be
inconvenience for the truth yes it may
not be comfortable staying with
strangers and not knowing where to go
and not knowing where to turn but God we
would recognize that even when your
silence your favor is with us that we’re
asking God where are you you were in the
person who gave us $20 you are in the
person who open their house you are in
the person Lord God we’re wondering God
where are you where is the thing that
you promised me but you have been there
all along but you’re speaking to a
different language you’re speaking
through the actions of people to say
that I see you no matter what you’ve
been through you still you’re still
surviving you’re still here for someone
you’re like you know what I don’t even
have anyone that opened a house for me
and it’s almost like God is showing me
you but then something there was a there
was a homeless shelter that opened the
door for you and there are so many
people that were supposed to get in but
you were able to get in and I’m here to
tell you that is the favor of God it
doesn’t matter how it comes it is the
favor of God
it is God’s favor that you’re still here
is God’s favor that that you’re still
breathing that you’re still alive the
Word of God even talks about how the
enemy comes to steal kill and destroy
but you are still living it is the favor
of God you’re like you know what I feel
like I have been suicidal but you’re
here it is the favor of God
you’ve lost people in your life and
they’re things that you may not
understand but God has a purpose that is
greater than our understanding can we
trust him so that we may be
inconvenienced by his word God I’m gonna
trust you you have a plan to establish
me this is not just this is not just
like oh you’re you’re you’re playing
games with me no you have a plan to
establish me and because your blessings
do not come with sorrow you’re taking
your time with me god I’m gonna be
grateful in the midst of not knowing I’m
gonna be grateful when it looks like the
very place she sent me to is the very
place that the enemy wants to make a
mockery of me but Jesus you made a
mockery of him on the cross and I’m
gonna stand by what you did on the cross
god I thank you that you are rolling
away the reproach you’re rolling away
the insecurities you’re rolling away the
inadequacies you’re rolling away
everything every stronghold that rises
against the knowledge of God over your
children’s lives Lord God you have a
plan that rolls in a way that it would
not even be it would not even be in
their memory anymore you’re rolling away
poverty you’re rolling it all away
father god I thank you that this house
right now is our Gilgal and you are

away from you everything that has tried
to hold you back I’m rolling it away
