[Music]
I’m so excited to be with you all
um you know right now like I mentioned
earlier we are in a season
um as a church we are fasting for 21
days we began last Sunday and you know
many have joined that fast you know and
our pastor has instructions he posted it
on his social media page but I would
encourage you you know if you are
feeling a tug in your heart in this
season if you’re feeling as though there
is something that God wants to say to
you and reveal to you but it’s not quite
clear you’re having you know dreams you
know consistently but all of them are
kind of blurry or or things like that
it’s like something is not clear to you
the holy spirit is trying to tug on your
heart you know there’s a season that
we’re coming into I think 2023 is going
to be one of the very interesting year
you know in all aspects there’s going to
be a shaking a great shaking that begins
as we enter this new season and it’s
going to be so critical for you to know
who you you are in God it’s going to be
so pivotal for you to understand your
identity in God to know how God will
begin to guide your life you know I’m
believing that we are coming into a time
that would be similar um to the time of
Joseph
right Joseph had foresight he had a
revelation of what was to come he had an
understanding the Lord actually even
gave this is how amazing God is when God
wants to release a word he even gave the
dream to a person who was a non-believer
so that his strategy would not only
unlock reveal the meaning of the dream I
want you to study the life of Joseph
when you have the chance Not only would
he unlock the meaning of the dream but
he would unlock God’s strategy to keep
his people
you see in the time of Joseph everyone
was just having a great time you know
going out going for dinners and
birthdays and whatnot
not realizing that there was a time to
come that they would be a great famine
but Joseph because he had he he received
Clarity he received instructions from
the Lord he had the ability to plan for
a season of drought
and you need a word from God for the
seasons that we’re going into about who
you are who he’s called you to be and
how he’s called you to live right you
know it’s so beautiful Jesus will say
things like man cannot live by bread
alone but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God and he’s talking
about two different things here because
on one aspect he’s talking about your
natural body right your natural body
needs food to survive you don’t see
anyone telling you like man you know
that dinner I had two years ago at you
know the steakhouse is sustaining me
right now no that is their Spirit
talking because they died by starvation
okay it’s not possible but then in the
same way that you constantly need to
fuel your body literally the even
um scientists would suggest that the
body can only go without food for a
period of maybe around 40 days and then
our Lord showed that in the Bible right
but they lit they tell you that the body
needs food to survive it needs food to
be equipped for your body to get the
nutrients to function in the way God
designed but in the same way Jesus says
but every word that proceeds out of the
mouth of God because the essence of who
you are the essence of your truth can
only be sustained by the word of God you
cannot be in this year or going into the
new season talking about a word you
received from 2001.
is what is keeping you you need God
moves in a rhythm he moves in a flow
that’s why sometimes even in the Bible
you’ll see that in Revelation that the
holy spirit will be likened to a river a
stream there’s it’s always it’s moving
it has a flow to it and when you’re
walking with God you move in his flow
that’s why the word of God also tells us
that those who are led by the spirit of
God are the sons of God not about gender
but position but those who are LED that
God orders the steps of the righteous
there is somewhere you’re going
you don’t stay stuck in what you’ve
heard or what you’ve known you you stay
available you stay open-minded God what
is it that you want to tell me about my
life and this is not a posture of
anxiety
it’s not a posture of panic
it’s not a posture of always being
worried about God I hope I’m making the
right decisions God I hope I’m in the
right place but it’s for you to open up
your heart in a way of surrender God at
any point in time disrupt my life
if if some if how I’m walking is not in
sync with what you know about my life
that I’m always available for you to
give me a word that disrupts my life
you see this is a prayer you have to
make with clarity
not emotional
because when you’re down in the dump
you’re just like God disrupt me now okay
you can’t matter of fact you’re wasting
time on this disruption
but when life is going well
you pause a little bit right there was a
story of a rich young ruler
that comes to Jesus and he’s like Master
what shall I do to inherit eternal life
and Jesus already Discerning where his
heart is
Jesus already Discerning that this man
first of all the Bible says he was a
rich young ruler
so at a young age he was able to acquire
such a powerful status at a young age he
was moving in the wisdom that much
people much older than him has not even
functioned in
and perhaps that began to Define him
Jesus discerned that his heart was not
really with the Lord was not to follow
God but that he found worth not in God
but in his status
so the Bible describes him as a rich
young ruler and he comes to Jesus he
says good Master what shall I do to
inherit eternal life right Jesus tells
him all these things I love how Jesus
Jesus already knowing where he’s going
he’s like yeah you know do this you know
the Commandments follow the Commandments
and all that stuff and the man is like
oh I’ve done all of that I’ve done that
since I was a kid but check this if
there was something that was that was
calling on to him this is the beauty of
the Holy Spirit there is a moment where
the Holy Spirit Will begin to Quicken
your heart there is more to you than you
know about yourself there is more to you
than your titles than your accolades and
your wins there is something that God
wants to reveal about your life and this
man being drawn to that he was like okay
there is something that is not quite
right and he goes to Jesus because his
heart is searching but then he was still
Bound by his own desires so his heart is
searching but he really doesn’t want
change his heart is searching but he
doesn’t really want God to disrupt his
life so he goes to Jesus Jesus tells him
all of that he’s like God I’ve done all
of that and then Jesus tells him sell
everything you have and give it to the
poor
Jesus was not trying to have this man go
broke
but Jesus was trying to release the
bondage that wealth had over him
he says it’s not going to be possible
for you to follow me and be bound
because where the spirit of the Lord is
there is freedom there is liberty so
when you come in the presence of Jesus
anything that looks like bondage over
your life he begins to reveal it he
brings it to the light and shows you how
to Let It Go but it’s your choice
and this Rich Young Ruler the Bible says
that literally he walked away
that what Jesus told him to do revealed
where his heart was and if he was really
willing to change if he was really
willing to receive a new identity and
here is the sad part the Bible says he
walks away sorrowful
so he walks away
but he’s in sorrow because as he’s
walking away he’s killing a sensitivity
that is telling him there is more to
your life
there is more than this there are things
about your life that you don’t even know
and as he’s walking away he’s killing
that voice and he’s causing him to be
sad because then he will never know what
that thing is
he would only stick to where he has been
he would only stick to his experiences
in life and you see when we when we talk
about this experience that the Lord
began to show me this interesting
connection or or not even connection
this
um I would even say connection between
experience and Truth
right because oftentimes our experience
betrays us from receiving truth
you know I want to read to you the word
of God that came to a prophet named
Jeremiah before he knew what God knew
about him
because your life was always what was
designed by God to be a mystery to you
and to the world
because God reveals elements and layers
of your life according to times and
seasons
he doesn’t tell you everything at once
he reveals it when the the time demands
that part of you to come out when the
times that you’re in and the season that
you’re in demands something that God
placed in you to be revealed so check
this out it says in Jeremiah 1 5 to 10
and if you’re taking notes my word today
is God who am I
had a vision and that’s what really
inspired this message when I was asking
the Lord what is it you want to you want
me to tell your people and I had this
vision of there was just a crowd of
people and they’re looking up and
they’re all asking the same question who
am I
and then the Lord showed me this so
Jeremiah 1 5-10 it says then the word of
the Lord came to me saying before I
formed you in the womb I knew you before
you were born I Sanctified you I
ordained you a prophet to the Nations
then said I ah Lord God behold I cannot
speak for I am a youth but the Lord said
to me do not say I am a youth for you
shall go to all to whom I send you and
whatever I command you you shall speak
do not be afraid of their faces for I am
with you to deliver you says the Lord
then the Lord put forth his hand and
touched my mouth and the Lord said to me
behold I have put my words in your mouth
Jeremiah what I’m calling you to do I
will equip you
see I have this day not yesterday not
tomorrow Jeremiah I’m revealing
something to you that speaks to the
alignment of who you should be on this
day
in this season of your life this word is
coming to you because Jeremiah in order
for you to function in truth you need to
know who you you are called to be and
what it needs to be revealed out of you
in this season he said see I have this
day
set you over the Nations and over the
kingdoms to root out and to pull down to
destroy and to throw down to build and
to plant Jeremiah there is an authority
that has been released over your life on
this day because it is in alignment with
what my will has always been for you and
I need you to receive it but as I’m
reading this I’m seeing the difference
between truth and experience
because God is speaking to Jeremiah from
a place of Truth Jeremiah before I
formed you I knew you
before your your parents knew about you
before you even knew about yourself
before you knew how to say your name
before you knew when they asked you how
old are you too you know
before any of that
I knew you
and I had a purpose for you when I sent
you on this Earth I sent you as a word I
sent you as a strategy I sent you to
reveal my glory in a unique way Jeremiah
I knew you but Jeremiah is having a bit
of difficulty to receive the truth of
God’s word because of his experience
he said no no Laura don’t say that I’m
only a youth I can’t speak and the Lord
is like don’t say that
because I’m not speaking to you as this
good idea I’m not giving you what I
think will be a great you know option
for your life in this time I’m speaking
to you from a realm that is Jeremiah the
books have been written before time and
this is what it says about you you are a
prophet to the Nations this little kid
and the Lord is just disrupting his Norm
with this truth and I began to think
about how many of us are like Jeremiah
and not just us it’s even how
organizations function
you know I was watching the news the
other day
and Blockbuster and some of you I’m
saying Blockbuster you don’t even know
what I’m talking about but I would I
would explain it a little bit but they
were doing this immersive um pop-up
experience where you know you come in
and there was a time where Blockbuster
used to be like the leading home
entertainment any movie you want to
watch you go to a blockbuster star you
you know you get the movie and whatnot
but they were the lead and so they’re
having this pop-up experience and
they’re interviewing people and they ask
the lady you know how did this feel and
she was like wow you know it was so
nostalgic and they’re like and you know
they’re just cheering her on and I’m
like I know she meant that as a
compliment but I’m hearing it as an
insult
and this is why I say that because when
you say something is nostalgic you’re
like man it just it makes me miss the
past you know the good old days
but Blockbuster was not supposed to be
in the past it’s not supposed to be a
feeling of the good old days
you see because in their Prime you know
they used to be worth like around six
billion dollars right
and Netflix came to them
to say hey you guys should buy us you
know the CEOs came to them they were
like hey we’ll sell our company to you
they were feeling themselves because of
their experience they’re like look what
we do works for us right this thing you
guys have going on yeah we’re not
interested because at that time Netflix
was only worth about 50 million
and so they’re like first of all we are
in the billion category you know so you
and your little chef can just stay long
right
and so they’re feeling themselves
because of experience they’re like look
this is what works this is what the
market likes
but then you fast forward many of you
don’t even know what I’m talking about
but Netflix that used to be worth 50
million is currently has a market cap of
about 145 billion and so when I’m
looking at this I’m like if somebody in
that company heard a word from the Lord
[Music]
had a vision a dream something to show
them what is coming
they would have equipped themselves
differently they would have not been so
stuck in what has always worked for them
because you see when God is giving you
Visions not just about your life but
even your business he has seen the end
from the beginning and experience is
what hinders innovation
and the same thing that happens to us in
when God speaks to us God is telling you
something about your life
and maybe it’s that you’ve had a
colorful past
you’ve had a crazy Pastor like God that
could never be me and he’s like look I’m
not looking at you from the lens of what
you’ve experienced I’m not looking at
you from the lens of your mistakes I’m
not looking at you through any of that I
look at you through my through the truth
you see that’s why Jesus said I am the
way the truth and the life everything
that flows out of him is truth I was
even wondering the other day I was I was
listening to music and I thought about I
was like man if Jesus was in our time
what kind of songs would he sing you
know because for him to say the words
then it has to be true this was just a
random moment I was having
but
at the end of the day whatever God
speaks speaks to you
he’s not saying something that could be
he’s saying what is but God will not
force an identity that you don’t want to
embrace
you see this is the difference between
being a child of God and a son of God
because Sons recognize position
Sons Embrace what the father says and
Sons understand their inheritance in God
because they’ve said yes to God
he said God began to show me this
difference you see recently just I was
sharing we’re on the fast and some of
our leaders we get together and we we
have prayer calls together and on one
particular prayer call we just listen to
worship so that the father can speak to
us and we set our heart to understand
the price that Jesus Paid for us and as
we were in that place of just Worship
the Lord gave me this Vision that
wrecked me and I saw what looked like an
umbilical cord that came from the father
to every creation on Earth in humanity
and I was like God what is that and he
began to show me there is an umbilical
cord that connects me with every human
being on the Earth
he said every single person is my child
every single person and I was so I was
so intrigued by that I was like let me
understand what the umbilical cord does
between a mother and a child
and so when I did some research it talks
about how that through the umbilical
cord oxygen flows from the mother to the
child which is what gives the child life
but simultaneously as oxygen is Flowing
the waste products from the child is
removed through the mother
so the mother gives the child life and
the mother removes their waste and they
began to show me this image of what
Jesus did on the cross you see the Bible
says that he was the lamb slain before
the foundation of the world before he
even created an Adam and an eve that
would fall and sin he created a way
because it’s already in his nature the
Lord began to show me that the umbilical
cord between a mother and a child is
only the physical representation of a
spiritual reality he said I already
factored to take away your mess
I already factor to take away your sins
I already factor to take away the things
that cause you to to live under this
weight of Shame and guilt I factored it
and I revealed it on the cross
that was a strategy to clean us up
so that we will never have an excuse to
say God I’m so filthy
God God how can I do this thing you’ve
called me to do what have you seen my
life have you seen the things I’ve done
have you seen the pain I’ve caused and
he said look there is an umbilical cord
that connects me to you you are my child
whether you know it or not that’s why
the spirit of God the the word of God
tells us that it is the spirit that no
one goes to God on their own will the
spirit draws you but you know why it
could draw you because it is connected
to you even when you did not know the
Lord
but when he draws you you have to answer
the call
God will not force himself on you he
will not force an identity on you but he
wants to show you I factored all of this
on the cross the very excuse you’re
giving to say that you cannot do what
I’ve called you to that you cannot be
who I’ve called you to be I factored
that on the cross
a a factor to clean up everything that
the enemy could use to taunt you to
torment you that feeling of unworthiness
on the cross
that feeling of Abandonment on the cross
everything you thought could you
on the cross that’s why the Bible says
that Jesus that on the cross he led
captivity captive
that everything that could hold his
people bound he bounded in his body and
that was what died on the cross not him
you see the Lord just began to show me
this weight of love that he has for us
because when you’re just like man God
that’s not for me have you read about
the disciples
Jesus the Messiah the King of Kings and
the Lord of Lord comes on the Earth
and the people he gathers around him as
his team
we’re not the people respected by men
these were ordinary folks they were
businessmen there was a guy who was
despised by so many people because he
was a tax collector I’m sure he’ll be
despised today as well right
they were listen
[Laughter]
ing
but these were ordinary guys there were
people that didn’t believe in him there
was a guy named Thomas and we’ve given
him the nickname Darling Thomas
and then you have Judas the one who
betrayed Christ
but here’s the thing about Judas Judas
was called by God
you see Judas represents what it looks
like to reject the voice of God
to not embrace your identity in God
because God is Not Petty
Jesus is not Petty
he labored to understand who should be
the the apostles the Bible tells us that
Jesus literally he went on a mountain
praying asking The Father revealed to me
who the apostles are because many
disciples followed him
because a disciple is literally a
follower of Christ but the apostles is
different these are the people that lay
the foundation of God’s church that lay
the foundation of what it is that God
wants to do in the world so when Jesus
goes up to the mountain
praying like Father revealed to me who
are these people Judas was amongst them
Judas was not mentioned as an apostle
just to betray Christ that would be
Petty
Christ did not need Judas to identify
him he could identify himself
he could have said hey here I am who
you’re looking for that’s me right
he didn’t need all of that
because Judas yes the Bible tells us
that Judas betrayed the Lord so we have
understanding but Judas really betrayed
himself
because when you think about betrayal
the end result is always negative when
you think why why is it that we have
offense sometimes and resentment and
unforgiveness when someone betrays you
because the outcome was negative so you
feel like someone stole something from
you but judas’s betrayal Let Jesus write
into purpose
so it wasn’t a betrayal of Christ
but really he betrayed himself
because he was not functioning from the
truth of who an apostle was supposed to
be
he was supposed to be laying down the
foundations he was supposed to posture
himself in a way that the Holy Spirit
would use him so mightily instead of
that he sold out
for what 30 you know coins of silver or
whatever
and here’s the thing about Judas I
always thought that man judas’s lust
problem was what got him that that Judas
just had this thing where you know it
just had a hold on him
but then the Lord began to open my eyes
that was the surface issue
because you see the disciples yes they
followed God you know some of them
they’ve already someone like Peter Peter
would have a revelation that oh you are
the Messiah the Son of the Living God
and all that stuff some of them they had
an idea of who he was that’s why Jesus
would have some moments he would ask
them you know who do people say that I
am and who do you say that I am because
Jesus also realized that some of the
disciples were following him for
what they perceived he should do
because in the time of in the time that
Jesus walked the Earth the Israelites
were under the Roman rule
and it was an oppressive Rule and so
they were trying to get free from it so
when Jesus shows up they were like the
Messiah has come to set us free from the
Romans
and so they’re following him waiting to
you know like you know when is this
gonna happen you know when when are you
gonna overtake this Kingdom and that is
why if you ruin you read the Bible it
talks about how there was a moment where
the people tried to make Jesus a natural
King
because they assume that the Messiah
should give us this kind of Freedom not
realizing he came to release them from a
bigger oppressor
that when he can remove the power of
death the power of Sin from their lives
it would equip them with the Holy Spirit
and they could bring the change they’re
looking for
but they didn’t realize that the vision
that Jesus has was much bigger they were
thinking too small
and so when Jesus is going to the Cross
that’s why Peter would rebuke him he’s
like what Lord you cannot go and Jesus
looks at him and he says get behind me
say and your mind is on things of this
world because Peter was still
small-minded so Jesus you’re talking
about dying and Judas is listening to
this conversation Judas is like wait
hold up so you’re not going to give us
freedom from the Romans let me get what
I can while I got you
so so Judas was functioning from a place
that he didn’t realize that everything
Jesus did was an expression of love
Judith’s problem was not that he had a
lust issue about money or whatever
judas’s problem was that he was not
established in God’s love
he wasn’t established that even the
death of Christ was an expression of
love
you see the Bible will say something
like you know this was Jesus speaking to
his disciples he said No Greater Love
can anyone have than to lay down their
lives for their friends
this is what he told his disciples No
Greater Love
can anyone demonstrate but to lay down
their life for their friends Jesus kept
teaching them kept giving them hints
what I’m doing
is an expression of great love
I’m not gonna abandon you
but it is an expression of my heart for
you
and that’s why even when Judas betrayed
Christ
when he came because but the Betrayal
was by a kiss right like he will kiss
who the Messiah is and when he comes to
Jesus to give him a kiss Jesus tells him
friend
do what you have come to do
but here is the thing when you read that
scripture through the lens of love
Jesus calling him friend was intentional
he was trying to remind jug his memory a
little bit I just told you no greater
love
does one have but to lay down their
lives for a friend Judas even in the
moment of what you think is a betrayal I
love you
and what I’m doing can clean up this
mess
but Judas did not know how to handle
because that’s why all of a sudden he’s
he’s he’s just filled with guilt
and guilt in the wrong hand can lead to
very things that are very disastrous
guilt in the hands of the enemy is what
caused him to kill himself
because with that guilt the enemy will
torment and you where you start
feeling like it’s not worth it I I don’t
I don’t need to live anymore
but guilt in the hands of God he would
show you hey I already cleaned that up I
already factored that
and while I’m sharing this is that there
are many people who are acting even like
Judas right now
God has given you a word
and and you’re not you don’t you don’t
you’re not following Jesus because of
the word he gave you
you’re following him to supply you with
what you want for your life
you see many many of us we use Jesus as
a vehicle for other things
right and one of the ways you can tell
is just examine how you your prayers and
your fast
do you spend time in fasting and in
prayer to know what is on the heart of
God or to lay down all your requests
and all your desires do you take time to
say God you know what this is I have
this opportunity coming up I want your
will yes I’m going to pray that you give
me favor but God if it does not happen
if this is not an alignment with your
plan for me shut the door examine your
prayer life and it will let you know if
Jesus is your lord or your vehicle
because many times we’re just using
Jesus name for our desires
Lord I walked in a church I saw this
person wow they looked at me the way
they worshiped God I just pray that you
would just let them look my way
but have you taken the time to say God
like who do you have for me
you know let me not just place this
desire before you but you reveal to me
is this on your heart for me
so that I’m not using in Jesus name as a
vehicle
but truly I’m using in Jesus name as a
way of submission God you show me you
see Judas was following Jesus
because of what he could constantly get
from him
but Jesus kept him on the journey
because he’s banking on men if you could
only get a little closer to me then
transformation will begin to take place
I want you to examine what is your
relationship with God like
is it for you
for the things according to the level of
your experience
or is it to encounter truth
you see one of the mission of our house
is that we would encounter with not even
just encounter we would embrace our true
selves
the truth of who you are is in Christ
and I truly believe that we are in a
season that God wants to reveal new
names to you
new levels of authority to you the
things that he’s always known about you
before time
and it’s not based on what you’ve done
in Life or any of that it’s just based
on truth
it’s based on who you are
and it’s time to rid yourself of the
baggage of Shame and guilt and
unworthiness and sin and all of that and
realize that all of this was factored on
the cross God still chose you
he still calls you his child but he
wants to bring you into sonship
that from being a child of God that you
will become a Son of God led by the holy
spirit always open and always being able
to surrender your ways for his ways
because when you do this this is how you
stay at the top and not the bottom the
Lord says that he’s called you to be the
head and not the tail to always move in
sync with him that at no point in life
would life catch you unawares would you
feel like oh my gosh that life is just
coming at you and it’s bearing you with
all these issues in the world no you
would be ahead of the time because you
are connected to the one who is outside
of it
and so I don’t know what words God is
speaking over you right now
but if you’re asking that question God
who am I what do you have for me it’s in
his word
it’s in his word that is whenever God
gives you a gift and you feel
overwhelmed by that gift
the that feeling of being overwhelmed is
because you’re judging the gift
according to who you think you are
but God in knowing who you are
is releasing what is adequate to your
capacity
and so family
I believe today there is a Grace for you
to be set free
to be set free from the lies to be set
free from the traps of the enemy and I
want to encourage you if the Lord is
pulling on your heart maybe you’re
already on the fast but if the Lord is
pulling on your heart to fast join the
fast as 21 days were on day eight today
in your own way but let there be a
sacrifice let let you let it cost you
something
and let it cost you something that
causes you to spend time with the Lord
because sometimes we just think that
we’re fasting and we’re not eating but
we’re not praying that’s a diet
[Laughter]
that’s a quick diet so you could fit
into that dress by Sunday right
or a suit or something
but if you’re fasting create time let it
cost you something that brings you into
God’s presence
I believe there’s so many words that is
stored up that God wants to reveal in
this time and not only does he want to
reveal it it’s for you to embrace it and
so something I would even encourage you
to do is to meditate on the love of God
meditate on God’s love for you you would
be blown away by what he begins to show
you
you see there’s a scripture in the Bible
that talks about how in order for us to
be filled with the fullness of God
that we have to comprehend the the love
of God that goes beyond knowledge that
surpasses all knowledge the connection
before to to move in power and authority
in the name of God is connected to
understanding his love for you
because in his love you have rest in his
love you have peace in his love you are
not shaken by the battle that comes
because you recognize if there’s a
battle coming it’s actually coming
because I’m anointed to overcome it
you see something that was recently just
blown away by is David
is anointed king and all of a sudden
Goliath shows up
Goliath doesn’t even know the only
reason that they had this strategy for
him to show up and act like a bully is
because the one who will take him down
is aware of himself
and and so the Lord anoints David
and so when Goliath shows up David is
like oh I’ve been anointed for this
and you have to realize that when
opposition comes to you you see that’s
why the the enemy is the ruler over
Darkness
anytime you find yourself afraid about
opposition anytime you find yourself in
fear about challenges and obstacles
don’t settle there
get out of that and begin to ask God
give me Revelation
because I’m only afraid because I don’t
know who I am
only afraid the enemy can only use this
against me because he is using my my
ignorance which is Darkness to
manipulate me
because in the reality of the matter
when God allows you to experience
opposition when God allows it is because
you’re bigger than it
it is the same reason that God would
allow the enemy to have access in the
Garden of Eden
because they were they had they were
they were over him they had authority
over him so yeah let him he could he
could chat with you guys if he wants to
the serpent was having a conversation
with Eve God never rebuked the serpent
for having a conversation
God never he was like no I created the
garden and that’s all right if he wants
to come do you think God is threatened
by Satan Satan literally the Bible tells
us how their their places in heaven that
Satan still accesses right he would just
walk in and say hey what’s going on guys
and God is having conversations with him
have you considered my servant job
he’s not threatened by him because how
can you be threatened by what is under
you
and so
when God allows you because the reality
is that if you think that that every
opposition you experience it did not
pass a check mark by the Lord
because trust me if the enemy had his
way we would all be dead
if the enemy had his way we would not be
here
so when God allows you to experience a
position it’s actually a strategy for
you to realize who you are
that you are bigger than this that
you’re in a season that I’m calling you
to rise up higher because in this season
I want to reveal to you a new truth
about your life
but you have to embrace it when you
reject that truth that is why how life
can crush a person
because the thing you’re complaining
about is the thing you have been given
victory over
and so I want to pray with you
I want to pray with you today
if you know you have been feeling just
stand with me in this moment
and what I want you to do as we have
altar calls I want you to recognize that
when I’m asking you to come out of your
seat and come to the altar that I want
you to see it as a prophetic Act
that I’m coming out of complacency I’m
coming out of the Comfort I’m coming out
of Shame I’m coming out of guilt I’m
gonna make a decision
that the enemy you can’t have my mind
you can’t have my purpose you can’t take
that from me you see in the enemy’s
strategy the Bible tells us that he has
come to still kill and destroy
but the first phase is to steal
if you can steal that word from you
if he can steal from what God has said
about you
then everything else is easy for him the
the word doesn’t say the enemy has come
to destroy or come to kill and destroy
it and steal no no no it starts with
theft
if I can steal from you if I can rob you
of what God said to you the rest is easy
I don’t want you to be so crippled by
all these things that don’t matter
and maybe you I I’ve been even when I
was in prayer for you I just kept
sensing that many are so heavy by the
pain they’ve also caused others
but there is a Grace for that when
you’re truly repentant of Hearts yes
there are consequences to actions
but then the Lord also knows how to heal
not only your heart but the hearts of
those
that your life in the state of ignorance
caused Brokenness and pain
and I say state of ignorance because you
just didn’t know who you were
[Music]
there is a Grace for that God knows how
to God God knows how to cause all the
pieces to work together when you come in
alignment with his plan for your life
that’s why that word it not only says
that God causes everything to work
together for good it says for the good
of those who are called
right
it gives you the understanding of
purpose
that when I align myself with the
purpose of God
he knows how to make everything work
together for good and he said everything
all things
when you come in alignment I can cause
all things the things about your life
you want to hide the things you wish you
could bury I don’t know how many people
watch on this show Black Mirror they
haven’t had a new season in a while
but in the show it’s it’s incredible
what they use technology to do
right if you could wipe away some of
your memory you say please just wipe all
that away but God is like no no no keep
it there keep it there because I want to
show you that I had a strategy for it on
the cross
and I can use all things to work for
your good I am not only your Lord I’m
their God too
I know how to speak to them I can heal
them of things
but it starts with your decision
are you gonna stop running
and are you just going to say yes to God
because he’s going to equip you
you see the Lord did not just tell
Jeremiah Jeremiah you’re going to be a
prophet and you got to figure out what
I’m thinking
he said you’re going to be a prophet and
I have put my words in you
what God has called you to do
the seasons of your life some of your
experiencing change and transitions
how God is Shifting your life he would
equip you for the task
he would equip you for the world he
would equip you for the changes that are
taking place
he will equip you
don’t feel like man I never saw someone
do this I don’t have any reference for
this God will equip you
when you read the Old Testament when you
read even like numbers and then you know
some of the things that feel boring to
read in the Old Testament
you’ll realize that God will literally
even equip people with skill sets
that the holy spirit will give people
the ability to be Craftsmen it’s
mind-blowing
but God knows how to equip you God will
teach you about who you need to be in
this new season
if you would just listen to his voice
and so if you know you’re in the house
and you’ve been just dealing with just
this sense of unworthiness and not
feeling like you’re you’re like God I
don’t think I’m the one for the job and
you’re willing to say my experience will
no longer speak for me but I’m going to
embrace truth I want you to meet me at
this altar right now
thank you Jesus
thank you Lord
thank you Lord
thank you Lord thank you Lord and as
they’re coming let’s just praise God on
their behalf come on somebody
amen amen amen don’t worry about who’s
next to you none of that none of that
none of that I always say that my
freedom is is much more important to me
than your validation
thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank
you Lord if you know you’ve been running
you know you’re like the running man you
know if you watch Forrest Gump run for
it that is you right
if you know you’ve been running from the
word of God you’ve been running from the
instructions of God I want you to come
to this altar
God has shown you things about your life
and you have not embraced it and I love
it recently our pastor was talking to us
at a dinner about what it means to
embrace the word of God it shows up in
your life your your habits your you know
your decisions are all they begin to
reflect that truth
and also your attitude right you’re not
just doing something because oh God said
you’re doing it with joy like man this
is me right
so you’ve been running I want you to
come down right now thank you Lord
thank you Lord come on
amen amen amen
amen
amen look at that can we just praise God
just continue to praise him in this
house
amen
[Applause]
they are slower
you see there’s someone you’re still in
your seat and what the Lord is telling
me about you is that where he’s calling
you into and this is an experience that
many of us have so I want you to realize
that you are not alone
for many of us our pain began was the
place of our ministry
and what the Lord is showing me
and this is a guy in particular
and
foreign
I know what I’m gonna say would be hard
to to receive and walk down but as you
walk it’s every step you take it’s gonna
break off shame
because I’m seeing that the the role
some of the things that God has been
speaking to you about is connected to an
impact in the lives of women
but at the same time you are crippled by
the ways that you have engaged with
women in the past
it’s like God if you’re gonna use
anybody it’s not me
it’s certainly not me for this
but there’s a vision God has given you
and it’s a Clear Vision but it would
impact the lives of women and your your
you’ve been struggling and I believe the
Reason God is making this so clear is
that he wants you to know that you are
the one
for that assignment
and if you will have the courage to just
walk out of your seat
then even I will promise you this as a
Ministry we would see how we can back
you up thank you Jesus thank you Lord
thank you Lord thank you Lord thank you
Lord thank you Lord just love on him I
see you just give him a big hug right
there thank you Jesus thank you Jesus
and after service I would love for you
to just meet with us all right
what God has placed on your heart it’s
for you
God wants to do a mighty work through
you
and this is just a representation that
all that stuff God said I factored it on
the cross you did not know who you were
when you made those decisions you did
not know who you were
but I’m speaking to you from the realm
of Truth and I will cause people to help
you
because there is help on the way you see
everything God says about you the moment
you begin to align with it all of a
sudden your alignment has a sound it has
a it has a sound
and then all of a sudden people are
waking up with you in mind they’re like
man I need to just call this person have
you had those moments where when you
said yes to God people just start
randomly calling you like hey how are
you doing that how are you doing means
that they don’t know why they’re calling
you but there is something God is
bothering them about you you should say
man I’m doing good by the way I’ve been
working on this project you know let me
tell you about it because as you begin
to speak the vision it connects to
Something in them that is like I think
this this is probably what’s going on
here your alignment has a sound it
causes things to start coming together
in a way that you cannot even understand
now if you’re in the house before we
pray
maybe you just walked in here you know
I saw this um
this video
this guy literally was like man I just
left one Church they got some beautiful
women in that shirt
it cracked me up so much because hey
maybe you walked in here because you
said where are all these young people
walking into
right because you’re like look the
pandemic messes all up and um
I can’t meet nobody at the grocery store
no more
there’s laughter in there in the house
of God Amen
but maybe you just you like you came in
here for different reasons maybe a
friend just invited you randomly or you
were like look wherever they’re going I
want to go to
but on the way you encountered God
on the way something happened you
thought you were just passing by yeah
let me just check this thing now let me
see what it’s all about
but in this moment you cannot shake off
what God is doing in your heart you
cannot shake off that the savior of your
soul is calling you into relationship
and intimacy even for our Global family
watching right now maybe someone just
randomly sent you the link you’re like
hey check out this message
and you’re like yeah I’m not I’m not too
much into that Jesus stuff but you can
shake off
that you thought you were just listening
to someone talking but then the Lord
begins to reveal himself to you
so if you’re in this house and you’re
like man that is me
and I want to make the Lord my Lord and
Savior
I want to submit my life to this God
that you guys are talking about I can’t
explain it but there’s something
happening in my heart that I cannot
shake off
not only are we going to lead you into a
moment of prayer but we want to get you
plugged in in community groups and so
many things so we’re going to have this
yes the Salvation screen is right behind
me but I want to give you a moment to
have a bold declaration of your Yes to
God
so if you’re in this house or you’re
watching online and you’re saying man I
want to give Jesus my life I want to
make him my Lord and Savior then I want
you so loudly just raise up your hand if
you want to raise up both hands you can
do that too thank you Jesus thank you
Lord thank you Lord can we just praise
God for what has taken place in this
house
amen and if you’re watching our Global
family just put in the chat that’s me
that’s me we see you we’re praying for
you right now Heavenly Father we thank
you Lord
we thank you Lord that you are so good
you are so merciful you are so faithful
your word literally gives us the promise
that surely goodness and mercy shall
follow us all the days of our lives
Lord what is happening in this room is
such
a revealing of your mercy
I thank you Lord for those who have
stepped out
and they’re saying that my experience
will no longer keep me Bound To Your
Truth
my experience will no longer hinder me
from embracing who you say I am
God who am I I am your word
so it is your word that keeps revealing
the essence of my identity
heavenly father I thank you
that there is a Grace right now that is
being poured out on your sons and
daughters oh God thank you Jesus thank
you Jesus there is a Grace right now
right now
and they will not even realize
how this Freedom came about
they will not even realize that the
things that used to keep them bound all
of a sudden they can’t even find it they
can’t even find The Taste over the
appetite for it they will look for guilt
and they can’t find it they will look
for shame and they can’t find it and the
enemy will try to remind them even
through people but they will say nah
that’s not me
and then begin to ponder wow where did
that come from
there is a Grace that is Flowing right
now
thank you Jesus I thank you that your
sons and daughters will know that they
are not doing Life by themselves
but that you are the one walking with
them
have your way Lord
and I just want everyone to say with me
especially for those who said yes to
Jesus but we’re gonna just come you know
come side by side by you Lord Jesus
[Music]
I confess
that you are my Lord and my savior
Lord I know
that on the cross
you died for my sins
but when you were raised up
I was raised up too free and Victorious
so Heavenly Father
make my heart your home
oh thank you Lord can we just celebrate
God in this house
[Applause]

blessing over you may the Lord God keep

shine upon you and may He grant you all
