I’ve been glad to be here this morning
those came out too long a meal is all
folk will say I’m excited to have an
opportunity to share with you I greet
you with Jesus Joey I want to officially
welcome one church into the potter’s
house family it’s almost like folks who
have been living together and then
decide to get married I feel like we
take that out the tape over here yeah I
feel like we were already together don’t
you
I feel like that too after like that we
were all really connected but this is
official now and we’re excited about it
and delighted to be a part and I’m
preaching in your pulpit this morning my
daughter’s preaching in mind and pastor
Tory is preaching in Denver and we’re
just all over the place a man so this is
good I want to read out of the Word of
God I’m going to get right into the Word
of God but before I do I probably should
just take a moment tell you that the
potter’s house was founded because I
thought that God had could a man made on
my life to minister to hurting people
and I thought that the potter’s house
really epitomized a place where broken
people could come and be healed that you
could come in to the potter’s house and
be reshaped that you could be marred in
his hand and still be in his hand that
he could reconstruct your life and put
your life back together again then
nobody is so far out or so bad or so
distant that God’s love cannot reach
them cannot heal them can I give them a
second chance and so we call us as the
potter’s house because it is an
admission that we’re working progress
and God is not finished with us yet that
we’re still spinning around on the wheel
and there might be a few cracks in me
from here
there and there in here and you might
find me to be a crackpot but I’m still
in his hands how many crackpots from get
in the house today
Amen so welcome to the potter’s house
welcome to the family we’re so glad for
the ministry that we continue to reach
out and pull it very selectively I’m not
interested in quantity I’m interested in
quality it doesn’t matter to me how big
you get if you don’t get better getting
bigger doesn’t mean anything at all come
on can you hear me this morning so we’re
glad to extend that brand to you and to
provide our covering to whatever we
could do the scripted you in the body
and the Lord’s given me a word for you
today and I’m going to ask you to break
invite your attention to suck in samuel
chapter 12 verse 15 and since it is a
father’s house i’m like like i’m at home
and as you stand for the reading of the
word y’all did this one i hate to bring
you into the middle of the movie just to
just to bring you right in in the middle
of the movies for those of you who do
not know david you would only think that
you might perhaps think that this is the
only thing that happened in his life it
is not yet some people talk about it as
if it were they call it david sin as if
he had no other sin but this is the one
that really walked the boat they really
threatened his destiny that threw him
off course a bit that he became known
for and what we get to see is how she
dealt with it and how you overcame it
because i found that it doesn’t matter
what you go through it matters how you
react to what you go through
there is somebody who have gone through
what you’re stuck at and they survived
it what did they do that you didn’t do
that cause their lives to rebound in
such a way that they made a success out
of a mess and you’re still stuck in the
mud and the quagmire of something that
somebody spend into something positive
we’re going to look at that today
because all of us get stuck sometimes
even ever been stuck so we’re going to
look at our lives through the prism of
David and see what we can learn from
David that would help us with ourselves
and we’re stepping into the middle of a
crisis moment in his life and it’s
amazing that David did a lot of amazing
things but when you you can do a
thousand made of amazing things right
and then do one thing wrong and people
forget about everything that you did
right and they talk forever about what
you did wrong kind of get a witness to
hear can I get a good old-fashioned ride
witness in here I know I’m right about
it so we’re stepping into it in verse 15
and Nathan had gone home the Lord struck
the child that Uriah’s wife had had
borne to David and he became ill David
pleaded with God for the child he fasted
and spent the nights lying inside cloths
on the ground
the elders of the household stood beside
him to give him up from the ground but
he refused and he would not eat any food
with him nothing nothing at all on the
seventh day nonetheless the child died
David’s attendants were afraid to tell
him that the child was there for they
thought how the child was still living
he wouldn’t listen to us when he when we
spoke to him how can we now know him
the child is dead he may do something
crazy desperate
David noticed that his attendants were
whispering among themselves and he
realized the child was there is a child
dead he asked yeah they were playing he
is dead can’t David got up from the
ground
after he had washed put on lotions and
changed his clothes he went into the
house of Lord and what he went to church
then I think went to church he went to
his own house and at his request they
served him food and he ate his
attendants asked him what’s up with you
ok I’m Jake’s paraphrase a little bit
why are you acting this way while the
child was alive you fasted and wept but
now that the child is dead you get up
and eat and I want to talk to you from
the subject get up and eat looking for
better get up Annie
let’s pray father in the name of Jesus
we thank you for the word that you’re
about to release in this place today our
primitive would be a prophetic
revelatory word in somebody’s life then
it would speak to the specificity of
their need and be cut to the continuity
of their situation that yokes would be
broken and bondages would be destroyed
and that the captives what may be set
free today
let somebody go home today with chains
and ankle bracelets torn off of their
feet and hands they seduce them into
their destiny and into their purpose
not one shackle shall withstand this
word today and I believe you for
greatness in Jesus name somebody holla
yeah you may be seated man you see the
situation is really really bad because
david has gotten himself in trouble he’s
got himself in trouble through a moment
of making a decision that brought him
into a dilemma he looks over the bow of
the castle and sees Uriah bathing
Uriah’s wife Bathsheba bathing and and
he lust after her and she’s somebody
else’s wife and he pulls her into this
adulterous situation that was bad and
she got pregnant and that was bad and so
now they’re in a situation where Davis
has got a baby coming by one of his
staff members wives and that was bad and
so rather than two you know sometimes
bad gets worse when you try to fix it so
David decided I tell you what I’m gonna
bring Uriah in off the battlefield and
and I’m gonna let him have a furlough
and so that you know maybe something
would happen and you’ll think that his
way but Uriah was so committed to David
that he wouldn’t sleep with his wife he
slept out on the front porch and would
not go into his own wife so that was bad
so David’s empty what I’m gonna do I’m
gonna send him to the front and so he’ll
get killed so he won’t know that she’s
pregnant by my baby and that was bad and
so he sent him to the front line
and sure enough he Ryan got killed and
he was dead which made David go from
being an adulterer to a murderer and
that was bad and now God has not just
David sinned to a prophet named Nathan
and David is in a mess because because
God says because you have done this
thing I’m going to cost the baby to die
and that was bad
and so David as you meet him in the text
is praying for God to change his mind
and to resurrect this child that is
dying and while David is praying and
David has stripped himself in late in
sackcloth and bone ashes all over his
body and stopped eating trying to get
trying to get some health and some hope
into the situation that is before him
and it is a critical situation and they
have never seen the King act like this
they’ve never seen him so out of control
of the file itself and grieving and
crying and hysterical because David is
David has David has gone into that place
that all exceptional people go
exceptional focused people going to
place that other people on the state you
don’t understand us no understand was
going yeah you’re on stage don’t judge
me
you understand I’m intense
I’m an offense person where my offense
people make some lower don’t understand
intensity but we can’t do things like
you do because we’re intense if we bacon
sugar cookies it’s important we focus on
it – sugar got to be just right
don’t sprinkle too much over there has
got to be right there just like that I
wanted to look like the star David Wood
leads with it
we’re intense people whatever we do we
do it to extremes intense people are
generally destined to be talented
because they are dense and hence people
do intense them in intense ways and
other y’all freaked out about us because
we are depth we can go crazy about
something that even matter to you
because greatness is determined by how
you care about small things so intense
people freaked out about little stuff I
just say blow carving I walk rain
everything’s important to you in your
tips you work with intricity you move
within prism you love with intensity you
fight with anticipate and when you mess
up
[Applause]
we extremists either way extremely right
over yeah
we’re extremely good are weird I’ll talk
to me somebody I’m gonna open up a
compressors but somebody wants to good
present here right now when baby went to
the battlefield he was our Kara the same
man who was the killer could go up in
the heels and write music and dance
around by himself before God and write
poems and poetry he was just as violent
as he was artistic he could be by
himself and be creative or he could lead
a captain of military soldiers in the
war and come back and so the fortunes of
his enemy down on the floor and say what
else he could be a killer or creator or
a fornicator whatever he did it was to
the nth degree and when he was writing
was right when he was wrong he was wrong
and when he slept with Bathsheba he
couldn’t just have one could know nah he
got to kill her husband and I got a mess
and now he is intentionally trying to
fix his mess because he’s intense and
when you’re intense you can’t just like
hope it turns out okay
no you stripped naked and cover yourself
with asses sabe even have fits on the
floor rolling around in the ground
crying for days trying to get it
straight because you are dad and when
you’re into substantial difference we
took our concentration subtraction what
we go by holistic unit it’s because I’m
trying to get you see it’s what works
for you also works against you maybe you
haven’t lived long enough to figure out
that the enemy is enemy and that the
same thing that made you be exceptional
about this can cause you to be
exceptionally depressed or exceptionally
worried or exceptionally upset or
exceptionally down or out and this gets
so tight emotional rollercoaster you
were on his heart on everybody around
you because you are intense and he is
teaching us something about faith
because david has turned his faith the
same faith he killed with the same
safety the rocks and goliath you know
that’s crazy though rocks it’s a my big
killing armies but when you intense
when you intense you will kill somebody
with a butter knife cuz you are so maybe
cut you with this move this will run out
after job of a rock how about I wish I
wish a job would okay I’m fair afraid to
and now he’s intensely down and he’s
until eight and he has turned all his
faith towards fixing his pass in any
Sikh faith is a directional weapon it
depend on which foot you turn it toward
you can have the right thing turned in
the wrong way and if you take the right
thing and you turn it in the wrong way
you might not get the effect you think
though it is the right thing you’re not
using it the right way see me my sister
was in the sill another day and we were
shopping in September there was some
beautiful dress in there and she wanted
but it cost a little bit too much money
or something if she said to me I want
you to believe God with me I said what
do we believe in God Father we believe
in God but North Korea no I thought we
will believe in God for OKC
he said no why don’t we believe in God
for she’s not want you to believe got
with me the depth of distress wholesale
I said you want me to go into intense
spiritual warfare so that they could put
the dress on sale I love you out too but
I want to ask you a question if you have
enough faith to believe that they can
put the dress on sale why don’t you have
enough faith to believe that God can
give you the money
Zig culture and training and environment
will cause you to use the right tools
from the wrong perspective instead of
using your faith to get up you are using
your faith to bring the world down to a
place you don’t want to be in the first
place
and David has turned his faith in the
fix in his path why is he so passionate
because any time somebody is so
passionate about the present it is
because it reminds him of something in
their past oh I’m glad you came this
morning I baked you a cake of that new
you of the coming in here fief
historians tell us that there was a
rumor about David that David’s birth was
a little bit questionable
he is recorded to be the eighth son of
Jesse and maybe he was and maybe he
wasn’t maybe this explains why Jesse
brings all of his other sons in to be
king but not David because there were
some rumors and maybe David was next
what had happened was
it all we know is he says I was born in
sin and an iniquity that my mother
conceived me and we know that his father
didn’t like him and for him to have an
illegitimate child while there were
rumors that he was one I wonder if he
trying to save the child or is he trying
to save himself because you cried the
most violently when something in your
present reminds you of some pain from
your past and and you go out of the limb
to save somebody who reminds you of you
you will go all out to get them and
people to understand why you are so
passionate about this particular thing
is because you are in some way kin to
the thing that you’re passionate about
and you think that maybe if you can save
them you can save you and if you can
love them you can love you and if you
can fix them you can fix you and if you
can touch them you can touch you and if
you can help them you can help you and
the reason you are freaking out over
what just happened to you because this
reminds you of something that happened
to you before
and so you are angry at this husband
because he reminds you of that husband
you’re angry over this version rejecting
you because it brings up what your
parents did and they don’t as fan out is
because you are kin to your sin or your
fin wouldn’t be so sexy
who is quiet India Nagi I don’t mind
stepping on toes but I crushed a couple
of knees that bad how am i kin to my sin
it causes me to need what I need like I
needed what am I trying to fix that
makes me react like this to that I’m
strong in other ways I overcome this I
overcome that but when this happened I
freaked out
take this happiness in asking God to
save the child because the child could
possibly remind David of himself so when
the child died it staff is freaking out
you can tell no you were a little too
legal to know I’m up for promotion let
me baby you go cubbies yes but if you
don’t freak out to eat it me already
freaking out he in a bad mood today
anyway when I came and he still obsesses
in there you go tell her I’m like okay
you got there and David – whispering
about the child and David perceived that
the towel was their perception and faith
always walk together
because if you can conceive it you can
receive it but you cannot conceive what
you do not perceive and that’s why you
do not receive what you could receive
because you don’t purse
they whipping one church say when we
wanted you got the old man in the house
today hallelujah he perceived that the
child was there lord help me to know
when it’s dead I said lord help me to
know when it’s bad
oh I don’t put any more energy in the
trauma say what is really Ola let me
alone text me a message lesbian please
let me know let me know let me know let
me know let me go let me know what is
because you’re gone in ten I will be
laying over top of a casket if you don’t
let me know when it’s dead help me to
perceive when I am wasting my faith in
my fervor and my energy and my passion
trying to brick something that honor for
sake I don’t want to put another day and
then trying to raise up something that
you have rejected
I wanna work with you not again soon I
want to flow in the direction that
you’re flowing in
I’m tired of swimming upstream against
the current of my destiny David received
the child and he asked them what they
couldn’t tell him Lord deliver me from
people who won’t give you the bad news
I need people who will give me the bad
news everybody wants to give you the
good news but sometimes you need the bad
news so you can have the good news don’t
try to tell me that everything’s okay
when it’s not okay don’t try to tell me
that everything’s working good if it’s
not working good I’ll try to tell me you
with me if you’re not with me you love
it you don’t love me you’re going help
if you’re not going to help me don’t try
to tell me that the child is dead tell
me that the child is bad tell me that
the marriage is over Alby you’re fired
so then I’ll continue the shootout
something
[Music]
that is not mine yeah then you don’t
want you don’t want me tell me you don’t
need me tell me you don’t like me tell
me I don’t have the talent for it tell
me because if I don’t have it for this
then I do have it for that and I want to
have my energy focused in the area of my
stress it’s the sound bad and they said
to him the child is dead and all of a
sudden he reacts in an unpredictable way
because they thought if he freaked out
while the child was living if we tell
him that the challenge there he’s gonna
come unglued but he didn’t react the way
they thought he was going to react see
some people only shout when God opens
doors but when you’re smart you shout
when he closes doors and I take a minute
and begging for the doors be closed I
want to thank him for the people who
left me I want to thank it for the
people who betrayed me I want to thank
it for the job I didn’t get for the girl
I didn’t marry for the house that
wouldn’t cause I want to thank it for
what cause because the average man God
shuts the door
[Applause]
help me preach this thing this morning
crying anybody that had a door shut in
their face and tell them something about
to open for you over something I told it
if he shut one he’s go over one it is
someone he’s gonna open one it is not
just well it’s going to be Ozzy whenever
it’s not this is going to be that
whatever is that’s why you want to
praise God even in the face of shut
doors I want to take 30 seconds and get
somebody to praise God for door that
shot
[Applause]
yeah it was good for me that I was
afflicted it was good for me that you
left me it was glad that you quit it was
good I had to move it was good it was
good it won you see so now I’m just
talking to you
what y’all rowdy out here at one church
y’all carry on like this at one church
so it’ll be cool in LA ah see David has
shown us how to deal with disappointment
and if you have lived very long you come
to understand the disappointment comes
to everybody not just losers but even
winners have disappointments you can’t
even be a winner until you’ve been in a
fight you can’t know that God is a
healer if you’ve never been sick you
can’t know that God can racial until
you’ve been down you don’t know he’s the
resurrector until you’ve been buried in
the grave of a situation and had him
come back and say Lazarus come forth and
you got out of something that nobody
thought you was going to get out of
that’s why every night need we have to
jump and shout I know you think we’re
emotionally crazy but if you just saw
what God brought us out of you would
brave him – I don’t like the worse than
you act in a football game I’m not gonna
stop praising God cause you don’t get it
I get John
[Applause]
yeah yeah the baby died and David does
not respond the way we need to respond
because even is trying to take us from
disappointment to destiny from
disappointment to destiny and the branch
between disappointment and destiny is
decisions if you want to get from a life
of disappointments to a life of deceit
of destiny then you have to change your
decisions knowing that the child was
dead relieved David of the obligation of
trying to fix something that was
finished because you cannot fix finished
I must say that again you cannot fix
finish it’s not a matter of talent it’s
not amount of creativity it’s not a
matter of your resilience it’s not a
matter of your intensity I don’t care
how intense you are the child is dead
the door is closed and whether you feel
like a winner or loser is determined by
how you decide success is defined in
your life in the first half of this text
success is defined by the restoration of
a life that God does not want restored
some people don’t feel successful
because their their definition of
success is to change the mind of
somebody who don’t hear
stay with me I got some for you but
their definition of success is to prove
a point to somebody who’s no longer
looking and so you can never be
successful because yes you got the new
car and you drove it past his house but
his drapes were closed his traits were
closed and now you’ve got three years of
payments on a car you came aboard and it
didn’t do what you wanted it to do
because your definition of success is to
prove a point to somebody who has left
the room so I came to pronounce death on
yesterday’s dream to commit to the
ground ashes to ashes and dust to dust
that thing that you devoted so much
attention to that had nothing to do with
the purpose of God in your life
I came to pronounce death on the thing
that reminds you of the thing that broke
your heart that made you crave it only
because you work into it
because in some way your story keeps
repeating itself though the ages were
long and the names have changed the
rejection changes names but it continues
to perpetuate itself in your life
because you are kin to it you are kin to
what you are sin to or you would not be
sin to it that’s why you’re passionate
about it and cannot resist it because it
is not your king that wants it it is
your kid that wants it and in every King
there is a kid and in every kid there is
a king
and the problem with being King is to
not let your kid kill your king and they
thought that when they told him the
child was dead he was going to freak out
but he didn’t he made a decision to move
his faith toward his future to
immediately move it toward its dream see
the seasons are more powerful than
emotions the seasons are more powerful
than emotions you know what will chase
an emotion back home a good decision a
good decision will stop you from
mourning and crying and belly aching and
throwing up and insomnia and it can’t
get rest a good decision will chase your
emotional trauma back home every time
I’m telling you all you need to do is
make up your mind I’m telling you the
probable son can leave the Hulk in the
moment he makes up his mind
I’m telling you that Saul can go from
killing Christians to being an apostle
the moment he makes up his mind I’m
telling you the Dorothy can’t get away
from us the moment she makes up her mind
that you have always had what you needed
to get back home that what you were
looking for and other people you always
had in yourself and it’s sort of think
about the lion and depend man if you
would just click the shoes God gave you
you could get out of that situation
right now
because the bridge between destiny and
disappointment is in your next decision
and the reason your life has not been
working is because you have put all in
your passions and energies into deciding
about something that was dead so they
told him the child is dead and instead
of freaking out he gets up he washes
himself he puts a little o say not wait
a minute when is his
is this too much information do I rip
does the Bible really have time to
discuss with me the moisturizer the
David uses on his ankle why does the
Bible tell me that he moisturized his
skin that he washed himself he
moisturized himself and that he changed
his garments why would the Bible go to
such detail to give me information that
is totally irrelevant to me if it were
not relevant to me is not the Bible
telling me that I have to have the faith
to prepare for where I’m going while I’m
standing where I am that I cannot go
into my future dressed in my past stay
with me stay with me stay with me stay
with me stay with him that that I have
to wash off of me the proclivities that
reflect my history that nobody can wash
it off of me but me I have to wash my
own face I have to decide if the child
is dead I don’t need these ashes all
over my face anymore because there’d be
gots dead I had been ashes because I was
after dead things and now I’m going to
wash the remnant of what I used to be
after off of my skin so that when you
look at me you don’t see my yesterday
bleeding through my today who am I
talking to tell me who I’m talking to
if I’m talking to you make some noise
give me a sign holla wave your head
throw your pocketbook scream sound
Hollin do some if I’m talking to you
wash your face
my last name is a washed-up faith you
can’t walk in that new room carrying the
defeat out of your last room you can’t
walk into this new relationship
sensitive about your last relationship
you can’t be argued with me about some
of your ex-husband did if she was gonna
stay married to have laddie to get a
divorce
wash up bang wash your face and
moisturize your skin because I want you
to look fresh when you come into this
press thing I don’t know who I’m
preaching to today but I promise I
suppress things are coming into your
life right now that’s why God says I
want you to push the raizo skin I don’t
want you to look tired I don’t want you
to look worried I don’t want you to come
in the door apprehensive I want you to
be ready for what God is about to do and
I don’t care how much energy you put in
the past and how many years you made a
mistake
God said he’s going to give you a
suddenly right now switch of direction
you won’t forget those things which are
behind and reach to go see which are
before let me tell you what I’m trying
to breathe somebody jump up and just
turn all the way around
yeah just hurt that’s what God has
didn’t even do in your life he’s getting
ready to perfectly
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
see this is the part that only you can
do the bridge is in your next decision
you can decide to stay here and cry over
what’s not working you can decide to
mourn what could have been what should
have been you can decide to mourn at the
graveyard of what you expected to happen
you can continue to weep over how you
had imagined it to be and say you serve
the Lord but you don’t serve the Lord
you serve your own story you worship at
the shrine of what you had in mind and
if God didn’t do what you had in mind
you feel like he has abandoned you
God did not save you to do what you had
in mind he saved you so you can do what
he had in mind
[Music]
I said he saved you so you could do what
he had in mind I feel like I’m talking
to somebody in your life and all of a
sudden your passion has shifted and
you’re no longer trying to fix what was
you’re now about to embrace what he is
now there’s a my new point that I want
you to realize because he washed himself
he anointed himself for moisturizing
skin it’s again he changed his garment
and he went in the house of the Lord and
David it was of this that he smoked when
he said I was glad when they said unto
me let us go into the house of the Lord
because he came to praise the Lord to
announce to the world it is over I’ve
had a shift I’ve changed the directions
that you can no longer count on me to be
who I used to be then I’m ready to walk
into another dimension of grace and to
God be the glory for the things he has
done you you might I think you came to
the wrong service because I feel like
preaching right now I feel like a
breakthrough is about to hit this place
right now I feel like a door is about to
open in this place right now I think I’m
talking to somebody who’s right over the
bird right on the edge right on the edge
the right of the precipice of a brand
new beginning God brought you here to
get your head on straight because when
praises go
[Applause]
so david ross teacher she praises god
and he comes home and as he give me
something and then the server said i see
it man you’ll make no sense do you crazy
male make no sense at all
when the baby was living you would need
and now that he’s dead now you got
appetite now you’re gonna eat david says
you don’t understand when the baby was
alive i was starving
my present because i was treating my
past and you see when you’re feeling
your past you know you don’t feed your
present you starve your present because
you’re trying to straighten out your
past you know you don’t give your
attention to what God gave you because
you’re chasing what he didn’t give you
you you don’t love where you are because
you’re still trying to resolve where you
came from so anybody who’s in your
present gets neglected because you’re
not feeding your present you’re treating
your past and anytime you’re feeding
your past you’re starving your present
and so David had not eaten for days
because of how he felt about his past
and the Lord sent you here to tell you
that you’ve been fasting where you are
because you’ve been feeding
you you have no appetite for what he is
doing so in spite of everything that God
has given you you remain hungry because
the king and you cannot eat because
you’re still trying to feed the kid in
you and until you stop feeding your kid
your king will starve to death this is
the word of the morning
you have said that you are waiting on
God but God is waiting on you you see
David had a destiny he had a destiny
when he fouling out of it washing his
face and ate some food
he went into comfort his wife Bathsheba
who used to be Uriah’s wife but lies his
wife and he’s trying to comfort her and
he does what all guys do when we try to
comfort you and we do try to like make
you feel better so we tell you baby it’s
going to be all right don’t worry about
nothing I got this
lay your hair right here a little thick
my thing I got this blue coming out of
these near me you stick with me yeah
yeah baby because if you stick you know
cuz we understand each other and oh yeah
la a Miss girli see baby I told you I
don’t we did not do mr. Gennady and so
what had happened was my Shiva who was
grieving about the baby she lost the
nameless baby she lost only got pregnant
because she started flirting with her
future more than her past and then she
got pregnant and she birthed this dude
named Samuel Solomon and she says
Solomon becomes a king and what God sent
me here to tell you is that why you
Reeve over the baby you lost what you
don’t understand is that there is a king
in you there is a king
i prophesy is shot that you have not
seen real greatest day that you have not
laughed your biggest laughed or head
your greatest moment that you have not
come into the real celebration of who
you are and that you are not defined by
anything that you lost that the reason
the enemy has attacked you all of your
life is because there is a king in there
is a king in you if the kid in you does
not kill him there is a king in you and
when I ask the Lord what to preach it
wants it he said tell my children to get
up in he
[Music]
tell my children that you’ve been
beating what you need to starve and
starving what you need to feed and when
David got up to eat it meant that the
child wasn’t gonna eat anymore because
as long as he was trying to feed the
child of his pass he was starving his
present and denying his future and the
moment the child was dead the king began
to eat and the Lord said me here was a
prophetic word to tell somebody the
child is dead
get up
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I want you to touch somebody beside you
I want you to take them by the hand and
I always wonder in my mind about this
child because this child this child that
Bathsheba was pregnant with it died has
no name so I’m going to ask you to name
the dead baby the Bible didn’t give us a
name so you can name this thing whatever
you need to name it to get free from
whatever you need to get free from name
it the person you touching my name that
something else they’re dead baby may not
be your dead baby but whatever needs to
die for you to step into the next
dimension put a name on it
the child is dead stop feeding it stop
playing into it stop tormenting yourself
the child is dead and the moment you
pronounce benediction on that foot walls
God is going to release that which is
and your latter day shall be greater
than your former day squeeze her hand
God is getting ready to feed your future
he’s getting ready to get you ready for
what he’s gonna do in the second half of
your life the second half of your life
will in no way look like the best half
of your life get up honey there are many
you can’t stay where you are bring like
you are just like you I like you I like
you I
[Music]
the person you’re touching right now is
burying some things that shut up a high
force mustiness God in His infinite
wisdom has chosen to take from this life
you fill in the blank we do commit this
body to the ground
ashes to ashes and dust to dust looking
up to God who is author at the finisher
of our faith
oh the godly is and one that is to come
if I were I’m freeing up till my present
Here I am to my future
[Music]
redditors dip into my destiny and I
thought I was coming to church but I
came to Memorial Service because this is
the service where I let it go
this is the service where I say goodbye
this is a service where I committed to
the ground
[Music]
when I was a child I thought as a child
I speak of a child understood as a child
but when I became a man I put away
childish things
the kid is to him now listen it’s about
eyes closed when you leave this service
there are people in your present who
have been starving for your intensity
but all of your energy has been devoted
and to responding to the cry of your
pass when you get home tell a mom here
[Music]
when you go to work tell him I’m back
I am no longer distracted by my
disappointments and by my insatiable
need to prove something to my little kid
I’m available to be king I am president
and reporting for duty I am signing up
for my future I am going to make the
decisions that are necessary to bring my
destiny into fruition
Oh squeeze squeeze
[Music]
my Wagnalls it did love the glory last
you
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
come on opinion I’ll be out of your way
if you’ve got a dream you can fulfill by
yourself it’s not worthy of you I know
you bad all by yourself I know all the
wonderful amazing things you did all by
yourself but you have gone as far as you
can go by yourself if you don’t shift
directions and make the decisions that
line up with your destiny you’re going
to wreck your future running from your
path I love that song India all we think
this slow down baby you’re moving too
fast you got your hands in the air and
you put on the game you about to wreck
your future run at rub your pants slow
down baby you’re moving to treasure I
never thought I would say this in my
life but we got some kids to kill
[Music]
[Applause]
we got some kids to kill and we got some
Kings to feed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and this is what’s gonna do it I wanted
to reel this in it’s real important
lighten up of the music just a little
bit we are comparing emotions against
decisions nothing will take control over
an emotion like a disease emotions had
him freaking out two seasons set him
back on the right path your next three
decisions will shut down the tirade of
your emotions if you are tired of living
in your feelings and walking in your
emotions and responding to everybody out
of how you feel and you cannot seem to
figure out how to get beyond your
feelings you can get beyond your
feelings with the seasons so wash your
face moisturize your skin change your
clothes and get up in ease
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
I’m going to tell you this and then I’m
going to pray I’m going to I’m going to
challenge you to consecrate an offering
in a minute but I won’t want to tell you
something that’s really important people
are always asking God for stuff stuff
stuff stuff it used to be when you got
prayer requests people asked for wisdom
and knowledge of grace now they want
stuff all I want is stuff Kimmi have to
leave the gospel and leave the time bag
the view and that just came out they got
a blue one the Bible said if you
acknowledge him in all your ways he will
direct your path I need direction
because I am intense and when you are
intense you can be intensely wrong
intensely crazy intensely moody
intensely stupid the Bible said when you
acknowledge him in all your ways so you
got God segregated off to Sunday morning
and Monday belongs to you and that’s why
you go through all the hell you go
through on Mondays because you have not
given your money to God
because I am intense I need directions
him in all thy ways and he will direct
that path your next three decisions are
going to be critical they’re going to
determine whether you stay at the
graveyard or you birth your King you
want God in those decisions I’m going to
challenge you as we prepare to so I’m
not going to tell you what to sow but
you need to sew on the level of your
faith on the level of your expectation
you don’t bring a kid feed to a king’s
request if you stop robbing your partner
maybe he would get in business with you
but it’s hard to keep somebody in the
partnership when you ripping off
Department God says if you bring me into
it I will guide your decisions I gave
you your intensity but I’m going to
guide your decisions so you don’t pour
your passions into painful stuff I want
to direct your path now I want you to
pray for a moment about the level of
your faith and the level of your
intensity and the level of your seed and
what I’m believing God with you for
business changes relationship changes
family changes or emotional changes I
want you to make up in your mind that we
want God in these decisions because
wherever you leave him out there will
always be death the blessing of the Lord
is not so on you that you can make any
decision and make it come out right some
of your decisions are going to go to the
graveyard of stupid field
and you need to pronounce death on it
because you a lotta magician and God is
not going to bless what you put he has
cursed just to keep you happy so you
bring him into those diseases Holy
Spirit as we prepare to acknowledge you
we’re just saying in the seed we sow
that not only is our past day and our
future is dead without you our next
choice is did without you our next
decision is dead without you our next
dream is dead without you we have always
been in our best when we float with you
and so we acknowledge you the people
clap for us but we acknowledge you
because it was you all the time it was
you that made of like me it was you
tomato choose me it was you tomato fall
in love with me it was you that made of
are me it was you that gave me the
talent it was you that gave me the
chance it was you that gave me the
relationship I don’t want to go into my
future without you and so as I saw this
scene today it is just me acknowledging
that not only did I not get here by
myself I cannot go on without you do
something in this place in Jesus name
Amen
ok glory
I want you to go right to your seat and
have the covenant between you and God I
want you to sew into the way you’re
going I want you to sew toward your
destiny and not your disappointment how
many people glad they came to church
today lower the gun you ready how many
people need a minute say wait a minute

offering this is a prayerful
consideration of a destiny turn around I
