practically we love you get into this
message gonna change your life
i’m so excited to be sharing this
message with you
because i believe without a shadow of a
doubt i know this to be true
that this word is specifically for you
let me tell you how i know because i was
headed in another direction when
studying last night
and it was just this morning where god
said scratch everything you worked on
last night
i have a better word to share with you
and because he has that better word i’m
trusting
and believing that it is custom made
with you in mind
so i want to invite you to open up your
bible
open up your app to really bring
yourself into alignment with this moment
i don’t want you to miss
one thing that this word has for you
and so whatever it takes i want you to
come into a space where you can receive
and then i want you to do me one other
favor while you’re receiving because we
don’t want your cup to be full and
everyone else to be empty
i want you to invite anyone you can
think of the first person who comes to
mind
i want you to invite them to be a part
of this moment
witnessing is so easy now we used to go
from door to door and some people are
still going from door to door but
given the pandemic we’ve had to alter
the way we witness but you can witness
right now
by just saying like here i don’t know if
you’re into this kind of thing but i
just felt like i wanted to share it with
you
or maybe you know someone who’s going
through a hard time invite them to be a
part of this moment
i know you’re the strong friend and
sometimes you receive and then you pour
out to others but what if we just
brought
everyone’s empty cup into an environment
where they can receive
i believe that god’s going to have
supernatural breakthrough connected to
this moment
so while you’re sending your text
message while you’re sharing the link
i’m going to tell you we’re going to be
in luke 2
luke 2 verse 49.
this is a very a very familiar
text i was reading it and i discovered
something that i wanted to share with
you something that i think will be
helpful for where you are now
if you’re one of those people who like
to take notes
my subject for today’s message is now
won’t let go now
won’t let go sounds like a funny
sentence but i
i believe that when i’m finished that
there will be clarity connected to it
so i’m in luke 2 verse 49 like i said
this is not an
unfamiliar text jesus is about 12 years
old at this time
and he’s with mary and joseph and they
have gone into jerusalem for the
passover
them and their community have left
nazareth
they’ve gone into jerusalem for passover
and while they’re
in jerusalem they go through the feast
of passover and then they pack up and
they get ready to go home
the only problem is on their way to
making their journey back home
mary and joseph realize that jesus is
not with them
and so they go back to jerusalem and
they’re looking all
over for jesus and they finally find him
in the temple remember he’s a boy he’s
12 years old
and when they find him in the temple he
says in verse 49
why did you seek me did you not know
that
i must be about my father’s business
but they did not understand the
statement which he spoke to them
then he went down with them and came to
nazareth and was subject to them but his
mother
kept all these things in her heart
and jesus increased in wisdom and
stature
and in favor with god
and men
father we receive every good
and perfect and challenging
and convicting word that you have for us
in this moment we ask that you would
open up our heart father and that we
would leave nothing off limits to you
and as we open up our heart father it is
our prayer
that a deep revelation would come to us
that a deep peace would settle down in
our spirit
and just for a moment that we would be
one with you and that you would give
us vision on how to navigate this life
you’ve given us father i pray
that you would allow this word to flow
in the same manner that you gave it to
me
and that this word would not be like
anything that i’ve ever said before or
anything they’ve ever heard before
because it has the unique imprint of
that
now revelation god we turn this service
over to you and we say have your way
in jesus name amen
and amen can you say amen like in the
comments can somebody said amen out loud
if that was you say that was me that was
me
you can type it in the comments you can
still say amen amen
have you ever now this is a safe space
before i say this
this is a safe space okay you can be
honest
there is no judgment here you can be
honest because i’m about to put myself
out there
and i would like to believe that there
would be at least one or two people who
will go with me okay
have you ever gone to a movie
saw a movie knew that the movie was good
but also knew that the movie had all of
these different
hidden messages connected to it and
because you were at the movie this was
before the pandemic you were at the
movies with a group of people
you have to talk about the movie at the
end right
so you’re talking about the movie at the
end of the movie you’re like in the
parking lot or you’re texting your
friend because you just finished
watching the movie
and they’re talking about it because
they immediately understood the hidden
messages i saw a movie in 2019 cis was
lost
okay i left the movie theater i knew it
was good it was like there was something
about this movie
it’s good i can tell that it was
reaching into
something it was an analogy about a
thing that i didn’t understand
so i’m sitting in the parking lot we’re
unpacking this movie and they’re like
yes and i loved how he had that
representation of the past showing
up and the chained arms and and the
culture was represented and i was just
like not in my head
real slow you know how you nod your head
real slow like
like i’m tracking with you but but i’m
not tracking with you at the same time
but
i’m so far from where you are that it
ain’t no point in me even bringing up
how lost i am so imma just track
with you like this that’s exactly what
happened to me
has that ever happened to you you can
tell me say that’s happened to me that’s
me that’s me
that’s me okay so this is what i did i
went on the googles because that’s what
you’re supposed to do when you don’t
understand what happened in a movie or a
tv show
you go onto the googles and the googles
tells you everything you need to know
about what you missed
and it was in that moment that i figured
out all of the hidden messages
connected to that movie and then i
watched the movie again and the movie
made
so much more sense because i understood
the hidden message
that’s kind of how i feel about this
text that we’re dissecting today
if i’m honest when i read this text it
really
hasn’t always made sense to me in the
grander scheme
of what we know about the life of jesus
we know about
mary conceiving by the holy spirit
we know about when jesus is born we
don’t know anything about his toddler
years we don’t know
anything about how he had friends or
whether or not he had friends we don’t
know when he got his first tooth
we don’t know when he got his first word
the bible does not tell us
everything about jesus’s life
as a matter of fact the majority of the
bible focuses exclusively on jesus’s
ministry
except for this one part of the bible
when he’s 12 years old
and at this part in the bible he’s 12
years old
and it seems like a blip in the journey
because this moment is the last we will
hear
about jesus’s life until he enters into
ministry at the age of 30.
and i always wondered why it was in
there because it doesn’t really
make a whole lot of sense as far as us
understanding the ministry of jesus
beyond the fact that he was about his
father’s business
at 12 but if we’re honest like
real honest low-key
i don’t even know if i can fully say
this but like this when i read this part
of the bible
through my lenses and experiences
i know we can’t say like jesus needed a
pap house so this one i’m saying instead
like if i was 12
and i ran off from my parents i would
have been in trouble like this is not
necessarily the moment in which we see
jesus
like showing up in the way that we want
our kids to act at 12 years old
and yet he was so engrossed in his
father’s business that not only did he
run out first of all you already know
about running off from your parents in a
big crowd now let’s take a minute and
have testimony service
how many of us could have actually run
off from our parents
and then live to tell about it not many
of us and yet jesus
runs off from his parents and then when
they actually find him
jesus talked back he said why was you
looking for me
i can’t imagine thomas
or sarita jakes allowing me to have this
level of conversation with them
and yet jesus has this dialogue with his
parents
and i was trying to figure out why why
why is this part in the bible then as i
was studying more
and as i was processing my own feelings
and processing my own
spiritual walk right now and spiritual
frustrations
i took for a moment an opportunity to
imagine what it was like to be jesus
and suddenly in that moment everything
was cleared up
because when we find jesus even at 12
years old
he’s dealing with the frustration of his
reality
not matching the revelation he has on
the inside of him
jesus has a revelation that he is the
son of god but his reality
looks so different from the revelation
that he’s received
and so the moment he sees something that
connects with that revelation he
jumps on it because his reality doesn’t
match the revelation
have you ever been there where god gave
you a revelation about your life he gave
you
a revelation about your purpose i’m not
talking about something you conjured up
i’m not talking about something that you
hustled up on after you took
a course or after you saw something on
instagram i’m talking about being
emphatically clear that god said
something to you
i know without a shadow of a doubt that
god told me that i shouldn’t be in this
i know without a shadow of a doubt that
god is calling me to wholeness i know
without a shadow of a doubt
that god told me to come to this city he
told me
to start this business he moved me here
and yet this revelation
and my reality are at war
at 12 years old jesus is dealing with
the frustration of being called
the frustration of being anointed the
frustration of being talented
that with a reality that doesn’t look
like it’s going to allow him to even
tap into that side of him there is
nothing more frustrating
than recognizing that there is more in
you than your environment has room
enough to receive
i can’t even be who i want to be in this
space
because there’s not space for it they
want me to do things that aren’t even
important to me right now they want me
to show up and be someone i know that i
am not called to be
and yet for some reason this text is
here
to show us that jesus too understands
what it’s like to have a revelation that
doesn’t match your reality
as i was studying
and preparing for this message i
realized
that there are many of us who often feel
trapped
in our now now
won’t let you go
some days safe space remember i wake up
and i start to call 2021 2020 okay
because 2021 shows up sometimes looking
like 2020 and i am tired
of now not just because of the pandemic
but i’m tired of feeling like i’m
trapped in these lessons and i’m trapped
in this
frustration of having more in me than i
have the ability to release
have you ever felt trapped in your now i
want to move on to next
i want to skip this level of the game
and move to the next thing that god has
for me
i feel like i’ve learned everything i
can learn here i feel like i’ve consumed
everything i can consume here
i feel trapped in my now and i want to
move on to next but
now won’t let me go
jesus in this moment has set himself
away
from the reality of his family and of
the culture that he’s used to
because he’s trying to move on to the
next thing
but now now won’t let him go
i was studying and i realized that this
is not by coincidence that we see this
moment in jesus’s life
not only does it allow us to see that
jesus understands what it’s like to have
more in you than you have the ability to
push out of you
but it also provides us with an
opportunity to examine why god
places us in nows that don’t look like
they lead to our next
i want you to take a moment and
allow that revelation to war with your
frustration
that god can give you a glimpse of
what’s next but just because he gives
you the glimpse of what’s next it
doesn’t mean you’re ready to step
into it revelation does not equal
manifestation
that means that i can have the
revelation but it doesn’t mean that i’m
ready to step into it
and the greatest sign of spiritual
maturity is how i deal with the
revelation that i’m not ready to move
into yet
how do i deal with this revelation that
i’m called to the nations how do i deal
with this revelation that i’m going to
break this generational curse
how do i deal with this revelation even
though i’m not ready to manifest it and
that is when now
becomes so pivotal because while jesus
may have been thinking to himself
and you may be thinking to yourself now
won’t let me go
you don’t understand that god is on the
other side telling now don’t let them go
yet
now don’t let them go because i still
have something that i need to deposit
down on the inside of them
you see what happened is that jesus
found in the temple something that would
stimulate him
but god says it’s not ready for that
part of you to be stimulated until the
other parts of you
that are underdeveloped are able to be
developed into the maturity that you
need to have in order to manifest the
anointing connected to your life i know
i said that fast
i’m going to run it back for you one
more time because i want you to
understand
that just because something stimulates
your anointing
just because something stimulates your
talent and your gift
it doesn’t mean that it can develop you
you stimulated me you rouse that part of
me but
it doesn’t necessarily mean that you
have the tools and the ability
to develop who i am supposed to be in
god and so
god says to mary and joseph no matter
where he goes
no matter where he runs off to don’t let
him go
because now cannot let him go until he
develops into the person who can carry
the anointing connected to his name i
don’t know who you are
but i want to talk to your frustration
right now i want to talk to the fact
that you know there’s more in you but
you can’t seem to find your way out of
it
i want you to let i want to let you know
that god told now
to not let you move on to next jed i
know this
isn’t one of those messages that
necessarily make you feel good
especially when you’re ready to move on
to the next dimension
but i hear god saying that if now let
you go right now that you would mess up
next
and so you got to be willing to ask god
what is happening now
that i’m supposed to be being developed
in so that i can be prepared when next
is ready for me to go
jesus sent joseph and mary back to get
jesus
not because he wasn’t anointed not
because he was about his father’s
business and he was wrong
but because it wasn’t time for them to
let him go yet and you have to trust
who god places around you you have to
trust that if god gives them the ability
to cover you
if god gives them the ability to walk
with you throughout life
then that means that they have divine
insight on when you’re going to be ready
to go
i know they may not understand the
anointing that’s on your life
but they have wisdom on how you’re going
to navigate life
not everyone is called to your anointing
not everyone is called to your purpose
stop trying to make
everyone fit what you need them to be
and take focus on what you
are what they are assigned to you’re not
assigned to my anointing but you are
assigned to my business acumen
you’re not assigned to my anointing but
you are assigned to my wisdom you’re not
assigned to my talent or my gift but you
are assigned to my maturity
don’t throw someone away because they
don’t understand the revelation that’s
down on the inside of you
because they may have revelation on the
now that you’re standing in that will
get you to the next
connected to where you are now
now that felt like something that we
need to put in slow motion
so that you could run it back and fully
understand what your girl just said
because my purpose in sharing this
message
is for us to come to a place where we
are no longer
seduced by next
everything in our environment everything
in our culture
has wired us to look for what’s next
from the way we scroll our phones from
the way we scroll the headlines we’re
looking for next we’re looking for next
we’re looking for next because there’s
something about
the seduction of next that makes us miss
the wisdom and now
so jesus
as anointed as he was
goes back with mary and joseph
and that’s when i realized the hidden
message of this text
the hidden message in this text is that
it was more
important to god at this time in jesus’s
life
for him to understand his humanity
than it was for him to tap into his
divinity
you see part of what makes jesus jesus
is the fact that he understands our
humanity hebrews 4
and 15 says it better than i could ever
say it says for we do not have a high
priest who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses but was
in
all points tempted as we are yet without
sin
you see if jesus rushed the process and
decided instead
that i’m going to start tapping into my
divinity at an early age
then he would not recognize the human
nature that we all have
and why it was so necessary for him to
become our savior
that’s why you have to trust now even
when you have the frustration of wanting
to get to next
because it was much more important to
god
that you understand how to navigate your
family it was much more important to god
that you received the wisdom of working
in an industry that is completely
different than the place where he’s
going to have you land
because there are some lessons you can
only learn in
your now
so if that is the hidden message for
this text there are a few things that i
want to share with you
as we undergo the process of becoming
comfortable
with where we are now in spite of the
fact that many of us wish we could move
on
to next so in this text when jesus
is in the temple with the priests
what’s so interesting is that because of
his
immaturity at that time and i’m going to
prove to you that it was immaturity
because of his immaturity he found
himself connecting
with the priest the only problem with
that is that he was called to be the
high priest
and because of his immaturity he found
comfort in the place that he was called
to challenge
you see and that’s why god had to pull
him out of it
because if god didn’t pull him out of it
he couldn’t challenge it and be
comfortable with it at the same time i
feel like that’s a word for somebody
oh gosh i don’t know who you are but
you’ve been in some special rooms
and you’ve been in some special
environments and you have been in some
oh i don’t know who you are but i feel
this so heavily for you
you have been in some rooms that should
have been the gateway to what you saw as
next and you got close but you got
pulled back the moment you started
getting comfortable
and i hear god saying that i didn’t pull
you back because i didn’t have plans for
you and i didn’t pull you back because
the revelation was true
i pulled you back because i didn’t want
you to be comfortable with the very
thing i’m calling you to challenge
i didn’t want you to become comfortable
in the very room that i want you to
destroy
you want to be in the room and i hear
god saying i want you to break that room
open you want to be in the circle but i
hear god saying i want you to shake that
circle up
that’s why mary and joseph had to go get
jesus because he was willing to settle
in the room that was beneath him
and that’s why the relationships
couldn’t work for you and that’s why you
had to move out of that church
and that’s why you had to move to
another city and that’s why you’re upset
and frustrated because you felt like you
got so close
but god pulled you back and i hear god
saying you need to thank me that i
pulled you back
and you won’t fully understand it until
i let you go
but when i let you go you’ll see that i
pulled you back so that you could go
further than they ever could have
imagined
that’s why you had to lose the job
that’s why the business had to shut down
you’re upset that you’re back home and i
hear god saying back home was the only
way i could set you up for life
jesus had to go back home before he
could set up the kingdom
jesus had to go back home before he
could establish his identity
and i hear god saying you’re not taking
two steps backwards
you’re being pulled back like an arrow
you’re being pulled back like who i know
you are
because when i get ready to let you go
when i get ready to let you go there
will be no stopping who you are
and i don’t want you to value their
opinions more than you value the
anointing i placed on your life
jesus was in the temple asking the
priest questions
but god said i had to take you home so
that you could start asking me
questions i hear god saying you would
have gotten old answers from the old
regime
but i want you to have new answers for
the fresh thing i’m doing in your life
that’s why every time you get in the
wrong room i’ma pull you back
every time you get in the wrong
relationship i’m gonna pull you back
god says you can be mad all you want to
you can be frustrated all you want to
but you’re still my child and i still
have plans to prosper you
and i cannot be your father unless i
have the ability to pull you back
slow down slow down slow down
slow down slow down slow down i don’t
know who you are but i hear god saying
slow down slow down slow down it’s not
time yet
slow down you’re not ready yet slow down
i’m not going to let this thing die on
the inside of you
i know you got close to it i know you
were in the right rooms and at the right
time
but it wasn’t my right time and there is
a difference between the right time and
the righteous time and when you embrace
that you’ll recognize that i am not a
hater on your destiny
i am the facilitator of you
and if you trust me if you trust me with
where you are
now then you won’t be upset
when i pull you back
oh god i wanted to wait but i feel like
i gotta let you know
that there was something powerful that
happened when i read verse 52.
when i read verse 52 i saw something i
wasn’t expecting to see
you see most of the fifth most of us
feel like that if i get pulled back
that i’m going to lose momentum that i’m
going to lose
wisdom that i’m going to lose my edge
that i’m going to lose my advantage
but just like jesus in verse 52 i got
pulled back but i still increased i
increased in wisdom
i increased in stature i increased in
favor with god and men
how could i get pulled back and still
increase that’s the kind of math that my
god does
my god says i’ll pull you back but i
still
increase you i’ll take you back to the
place where you belong
but i’ll still show you how to come up
higher again
you’re going to increase in wisdom and
stature
and then favor with god and men how can
i
increase in favor when i’m not moving in
the right circles
when i’m not moving in the right room
cause you got
favor with god baby and favor with god
is better than favor with men
i got favor with god cause i’m right
where he told me to be
i stayed positioned in the right place
[Applause]
god’s math don’t add up
you don’t gain favor from men
by being in the room where the men are
you gain favor with men by being where
god told you to be
and that’s why you need to stop being
upset with now
and you need to start thanking god that
now won’t let me go
god i wanted to break out but now
wouldn’t let me go
god i wanted to move on to the next
dimension but now wouldn’t let me go
and now i see what now was working on
the inside of me
now i see that now was producing
something i could have never been
i didn’t want to go back to that job i
didn’t want to go back to that city
but now wouldn’t let me go and when you
finally
step into next you’re gonna thank god
that now wouldn’t let you go
that you didn’t let me birth this baby
too soon
you didn’t let me birth this ministry
too soon
your favor your favor is not gone
your grace is not gone your wisdom is
not gone
the most powerful thing i saw
was that jesus was anointed
but he still needed to increase
in wisdom and stature
did you know that it is okay
to be talented but immature
it’s normal to be anointed but not have
the wisdom to understand how to release
your anointing
it’s okay and sometimes we want to just
depend on the fact that we’re anointed
we just want to
depend on the fact that we’re called we
just want to depend on the fact that
we’re talented but i hear god saying if
you depend on that and that alone
you’re going to end up in rooms that are
beneath you
you’re going to end up in rooms that
can’t develop you
so sometimes you got to take your
anointed
talented hips
as they would say because i’m a country
girl
back to the environment
that doesn’t understand what’s in you
but that god is using to develop you
mary and joseph didn’t understand what
jesus was saying in that moment
but they knew
that they hadn’t had the opportunity
they hadn’t been granted
the permission to release him yet
let me tell you why you can trust now
and then i’m going to close
jesus became so comfortable
with now from this moment up until when
he’s 30.
he had this moment he went back home and
he was increasing
even though he was pulled back
and then we see him at the wedding at
cana
and when he’s at that wedding at cana
mary
says to him turn the water into wine
and jesus says my time hasn’t come yet
the same mary that pulled him back
is the same mary that says now it’s time
for you to go
there will be moments when now
pushes you out
and in those moments you will know
without a shadow of a doubt
that i needed to stay where god
positioned me
until i felt the release from now to
move into my next
in my scripture and i think it’s verse
51 it says that jesus
subjected to them that’s to mary and
joseph that word subjected means
he became obedient to them
even when they didn’t understand he
became obedient to the environment
that was connected with his now
i want to take a moment and i want to
pray with you
because i feel like as long as we’re
frustrated with now we cannot become
obedient
to what now was trying to develop on the
inside of us
you see at the end of the day i’m one of
those crazy people
who believe that god wastes nothing
and if i truly believe that god wastes
nothing when i am in a frustrating
moment and i am frustrated with
now i have a responsibility to not allow
my frustration to keep me from being
obedient
god i’ve been so frustrated with where i
am now
that i haven’t made the heart posture
decision to be obedient
even when i don’t understand
can you imagine being jesus
i am the son of god
and yet i’m subjected to people who
don’t even understand me
and yet he goes to those people because
those are the people that god has
ordained to develop who he is
you you’re watching this
and you are anointed and you are gifted
and you are talented and you are in an
environment that is not a reflection of
what is down on the inside of you
and you are frustrated because you don’t
understand how i can ever get from here
to there i don’t know when i’m going to
be able to use
my gift i don’t know when my gift is
going to make room for me
i don’t know when i’m going to be able
to show up and trust that i
am who god says i am and i’m dying for
just one opportunity to release it
i don’t know who you are but you’ve been
waiting god
would you just give me one chance to
release what you’ve given me
i’ve seen you do it for that person i’ve
seen you do it for this person
but i want to release what’s down on the
inside of me i want to prove that i
am who you say i am and god’s been
saying not now
not now now now won’t let you go
and so we have to assume a heart posture
not of disappointment and not a
frustration though we will pass those
heart postures on the way
where we must ultimately land
is the place of being obedient to now
because now won’t let us go
[Music]
you’re frustrated sometimes i’m
frustrated too
life is messy sometimes child
life is messy over here too
and as much as i want to move on to next
i want to skip this class
remember being in school and you’re like
i’ve learned everything i can learn
about multiplication
i’m ready to move to the next thing but
it doesn’t work that easy
you’ve got to stay and you’ve got to
complete that course you got to complete
this level
before you can even access next
and so the question is who do i need to
become
in order to make peace with now
[Music]
it starts with assuming that heart
posture of obedience
and jesus shows us how to do with this
blip in his life that doesn’t even make
sense
given what we know about his life in its
entirety
but it’s almost like god wanted us to
know 2 thousand
plus years later that we do not serve a
high priest
who doesn’t who is unable to sympathize
with who we are and where we are
jesus knows exactly what it’s like
[Music]
to have a revelation without the reality
to support it
and he shows us how to humble ourselves
to our reality and to be obedient to be
so obedient
that we’re not even focused on next when
next arrives
isn’t that what happened at the wedding
at canaan he was so
focused on where he was now that he
didn’t even see that next had arrived
that’s what i want for you that’s what i
want from me
i want to become so obedient so immersed
in what is happening now that when next
knocks on the door
i don’t even see it coming
[Music]
so i want to pray with you i want to
offer you an opportunity
to first give god your frustration and
your disappointment
and to give god who you became as a
result of that frustration
are you bitter are you depressed did you
give up on god
are you living outside of the will of
god have you become desensitized to who
you’re supposed to be in righteousness
and holiness
because you feel like god disappointed
you and so now you’ve given up all
together
you see because i know that god that
jesus was able to come to a place where
he
submitted to his now because he was
increased even
when submitted that means that you
cannot increase
unless you submit to now you rebel
against now and you won’t get the
increase in wisdom and stature and favor
with god and men
but if you submit to now then you’ll get
all of those things that god has stored
up for you
and trust me you’re going to need wisdom
and trust me you’re going to need that
maturity
and trust me you’re going to need that
favor with god and then why
because now won’t last always and when
god gets ready to release you into your
next
you want to be positioned properly with
the right wisdom
with the right maturity with the right
heart heart posture with the right favor
and so i’m going to pray with you that
god
would allow you to release who you
became
as a result of not having the right
environment that you thought you needed
so that you can maximize the environment
that god gave you
[Music]
father we offer you our heart
and if we’re honest our heart hasn’t
always been full of joy
peace and purity when it comes to you
if we’re honest our heart has been a
little bit dirty because i’m frustrated
that you haven’t moved the way i thought
you would
i’m frustrated that you won’t release me
in the way that i thought you should i
lost my trust somewhere along the way
and so father first of all i want to say
i’m sorry
i’m sorry that i didn’t trust you i’m
sorry that i didn’t believe you i’m
sorry that i gave up in the middle of my
development process
and father what i’m asking you to do is
to help them
come into alignment with obedience
even when now doesn’t look like what
they have in mind
god i ask that you would touch every
person watching right now
you know their circumstance you know
their situation you know exactly
what they need and yet you know what’s
keeping them from
manifesting what you’ve placed down on
the inside of them father i pray
that you would clear their minds and
open their hearts
so that they can find the seed buried in
now
and when they find that seed father i
pray that you would allow them to become
so engrossed in watering that seed and
maximizing that seed and cultivating
that seed
that they don’t even see next when it
taps them on the shoulder father
allow us to see what you have hidden the
hidden messages in our now
so that when we look back over our life
we recognize that you were weaving
things together even when we were
frustrated even when we were confused by
the we repent
we change our mind about where we are we
repent for the sins we committed on the
way
and we ask that you would bring us into
alignment with holiness
with righteousness and with obedience
that we would become obedient to your
word
even when it doesn’t make sense to us we
surrender our will to yours
and we say make us sensitive
make us sensitive to how you’re moving
make us sensitive to how you want to
release this how you want to use us
and allow our greatest concern to be
making sure we are aligned with you
above all other things
in jesus name i pray amen
family if that was your word i just want
you to say amen amen
amen i want you to grab that prayer amen
amen
amen all in the chat it’s all in the
chats let it flood in let it flood in
i think that this is one of those
messages that you may have to marinate
on a little bit
but if you remember nothing else i want
you to understand
that even when now is frustrating even
when now won’t let you go
that now has been anointed and ordained
to develop what god has placed down on
the inside of you
so get your shovel lose the tude
and start digging for what god placed in
here now
you
