the joy of the Lord coming into the
I felt like god I don’t know what we’re
walking into but I want to make sure
that I’m in the room I made traffic move
out the way
I made a parking lot a spot up here out
of nowhere cuz I need it to be in the
room yes okay listen galatians chapter 1
verse 11 my subject for those of you who
take notes is radical expectations I’m
going to see a victory is a radical
expectation I didn’t even know what
songs they were going to be singing
tonight but when I came into the room I
knew that God was already doing
something because those words are
radical expectations I’m going to begin
in verse 11 it says but I make known to
you the author of this epistle is Paul
the Apostle and he’s talking to the
church of Galatia who is being diluted
by outside influences and he says in
verse 11 but I make known to you
brethren that the gospel which was
preached by me is not according to men
for I neither received it from men nor
was I taught it but it came through the
revelation of Jesus Christ for you have
heard of my former conduct in Judaism
how I persecuted the Church of God
beyond measure and tried to destroy it
and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of
my contemporaries in my own nation being
more exceedingly zealous for the
traditions of my father’s he was good at
this but when it pleased God who
separated me from my mother’s womb and
called me through His grace to reveal
his son in me that I might preach him
among the Gentiles I did not immediately
confer with flesh and blood
I didn’t get that call validated by men
or women when Jesus spoke a word to me I
didn’t ask anyone’s opinion about it I
didn’t ask anyone to tell me whether it
was right or wrong
nor did I go to Jerusalem to those who
were apostles before me I didn’t ask
those who came before me what is this
that has happened to me but I went to
Arabia and returned again to Damascus
Father God what an honor it is to be in
a fellowship with you
you are the great I am you are the
Almighty you are a healer and yet you
have seen fit to live within us and so
father I ask that you would continue to
water the seeds of you that are down on
the inside of us that this would be a
moment of full blossoming for these your
sons and daughters Oh God
but as we came into this place not
knowing exactly what we needed to hear
just knowing that we need to hear from
you and God I ask that you would answer
the prayers we didn’t even know to
whisper and that you would use me God as
your vessel and that you would withhold
nothing until your glory falls in this
place father I take so seriously the
purposes and destinies assigned to us in
this incredible community and so far
there I except there would be no room
for nerves the anxiety or any of those
things that are distractions when you
want to move into a room but that
instead that this would be an encounter
like no other fall fresh in this place
as only you can do in Jesus name
so some of my friends who are connected
to women evolve all right you already
know that like my favorite women in the
Bible are even married those of you who
don’t understand that I’m gonna break it
down for you so even marry on my
favorite woman in the Bible because of
Genesis 3 and 15 when God gives the
curse to the serpent he says I’m going
to put enmity between you and the woman
her seed will bruise your head but your
seed will bruise her heel and I love
that because he’s talking about Eve but
ultimately he’s giving a foreshadowing
of Jesus he’s saying that in this moment
you may have one but when it’s all said
and done that Eve is connected to Mary
and when Mary reaches her full potential
she will birth Jesus who will crush your
head so I love I love even Mary because
they have such a connection like Eve
knew better but didn’t do better but we
forgive her cuz y’all know how y’all and
knew better but didn’t do better but
there’s also Mary who I love because
Mary knew how to facilitate an
environment for what God wanted to do in
the earth but you can’t have one without
the other
you see Eve set it in motion and there
is something to be said about someone
who knows how to set what God wants to
do in motion so many of us don’t even
sign up for transformation because we’re
afraid that if we can’t finish it then
we shouldn’t start it at all but God
says I’m not looking for people who know
how to finish I’m looking for people who
know how to get it started because if
you can get it started I can finish it
and that’s what makes us in relationship
with him because he initiates things
down on the inside of us and we take a
leap of faith because we don’t know how
he’s going to finish it
because he said do it I’m gonna do it so
my job is to just set it in motion and
sit back and watch God how were you
gonna do this thing god I said some
things in motion when I came in this
city I set some things in motion when I
married my husband I said some things I
don’t know what I said in motion I don’t
know how it’s gonna work out I don’t
know how I’m gonna end up where you told
me I was going to end up but I know I’m
not going to wait for all the answers
I’m gonna set that thing in motion
because if I set that thing in motion
then no weapon formed against me will
prosper the weapons might prosper if I’m
standing still but if I set that thing
in motion they can’t come against me
because I’m on the move I’m moving I’m
moving when God says go I move when God
says do I do when God says get it
together I get it together because I’m
trying to set something in motion that
thing is so good to me I haven’t always
done what I was supposed to do but when
I got a revelation that if I do what I’m
supposed to do that he can do what he
can do I set some things in motion
he’s Eve sets it in motion but Mary’s
role is just as important because Mary
knows how to facilitate the momentum
having someone who knows how to
facilitate the momentum of what God
wants to do in the earth is just as
important as setting it in motion
because when the plans of God starts
taking off me men don’t have to touch it
it’s going to be what God said it’s
gonna be but if we aren’t careful we
will not facilitate in an environment
that allows for the momentum to take
place that’s why I love Mary because she
understood that there is some momentum
to what God wants to do in the earth and
she would not allow anything to dilute
the momentum the worst thing you could
ever do to me
is dilute my momentum I’m working on
something that’s why friendships and
relationships and opportunities are
really important because you have to
align them with the momentum see when
you start working towards something and
you start to see that God can really
show up on your behalf it gives you a
certain level of focus it gives you a
certain level of momentum so when you
come around wasting my time that’s not
you to me cuz I got some momentum I’m
trying to work for it I know it may be
cute to everyone else when you waste
their time I know it may be cute to
everyone else to wake up and not know
where they are or who they’re with but
that’s not cute to me cuz it wastes my
momentum I messed around and got selfish
over my mom their mentor my know they
say it’s wrong to be selfish but I am
selfish over one thing I’m selfish over
my momentum I’m selfish over what God
has called me to do that you block my
momentum you got to get out the way cuz
I’m on to something I’m trying to do
something that God said I was the only
one who could you don’t mess with my
momentum don’t mess with my momentum you
gotta not see your weakness it’s just
something you can live with you gotta
see it as something that’s messing with
your momentum I’m not just sad I’m
depressed and that’s a problem because I
have momentum I got momentum I’m trying
to become who God said I could be so
when you block my momentum you block me
and I’m trying to figure out who I am
for real I gotta say that the way I see
it because I feel like we have settled
into distractions and circumstances and
personality traits that we think is just
a part of who we are not recognizing
that they’re actually stopping our
momentum diluting our momentum I have to
forgive because bitterness dilutes my
Ansem and so when we find Paul talking
to the church in Galatia he’s talking to
them because there is an influence that
is trying to dilute the momentum of the
church that he started man god help me
you see he was gone building something
else and while he was away building
something else and outside influence
came in that started diluting his
momentum and see the thing is this that
it would be different if you saw the
influence coming but the influence just
kind of creeps in and dilutes your
momentum you don’t even know it in the
moment you just look up one day and I’m
not I’m not as focused as I used to be
I’m not as creative as I used to be I
used to just pick up the pen and it
would float something to I looted my
momentum who am I talking to in this
room God sent a word for you Gus in a
word that it’s time for you to get your
expectation back God sent a word that is
still down in you you just let some
things dilute your momentum but I hear
God saying if you remove those things
that diluted your momentum that I will
accelerate what you think the locusts
have eaten I’ll put you right back in
position I’ll put you right back where
you’re supposed to be the influence
creeped in and I just want to say this
because there is someone and I don’t
know who you are but I felt it when I
was studying I felt like you were going
to be in this room that you’re just
tired of influences creeping in and
diluting your momentum
I’m tired of starting getting and
feeling like I’m never going to see the
end of it I’m tired of it not working
out the way it’s supposed to work out
I’m tired of having to make all of these
changes and still wondering if it’s
going to happen I’m tired of working at
this
but I can’t start the business I don’t
understand there’s something that always
creeps in right when I start getting my
momentum something creeps in and I want
it to let you know that as insensitive
maybe as this may sound that God did not
wrap your spirit in flesh and send you
down to the earth for vacation that when
God puts you in this earth he did it
because there was a war going on and he
said there’s a war going on down there
and I need to put somebody down in that
room who knows how to let some things
flow from them and I know you’re tired
of the influences creeping in but God
sent you down don’t start yet because
they’re not ready don’t start yet
because they’re not ready I had to put
you down in this room because I
understood that there was a war
happening and if there was no one else
to fight that war I knew I had to be
able to depend on you I hear God saying
stop looking for it to be safe stop
looking for it to be settled stop
looking for everything to work out
smoothly and understand that the
influences are going to creep in because
they’re here to teach you how to war
differently god help me the influences
creep in so that you can have a defense
mechanism that you would have never had
unless the influences creeped in I know
you’re tired I know you’re burnt out
take a minute and rest but it’s time for
you to get back in the game because
there’s a war out here come on activate
early we didn’t say activate the church
we said activate Los Angeles when you
hit this street baby they
no you hear they I don’t know what you
working with the influences show you
where you’re weak so that your weakness
can marry with his strength I know
you’re tired of the influence that’s
creeping in and knocking you off your
game but you become stronger when you
recognize where the cracks are you
become stronger where you recognize
where the holes are you’ll never hit me
in that same spot again because when you
creeped in on me and you creeped in on
my marriage and you creeped in on my
business I’m surrounded with the therapy
surrounding it hit me like that again
eat that punch baby cuz it’s the last
one I’m gonna take we’re not here for
vacation we might here for smooth
sailing every time somebody shoots
something up we gotta go harder it’s so
war going on out there every time
something happens that doesn’t look like
God the influences have crept in and
it’s supposed to awaken something down
on the inside of you that makes you
fight in a way that you would not have
fought had the influences never creeped
in influences creeping into your house
creeping into your marriage now I
understand why Paul is so aggressive
with the Church of Galatia because when
you recognize the influence has crept in
you can’t just play with that thing
you got to go head-to-head with that
thing and you have to kick it out
because if you don’t kick it out that
influence will take over and all of a
sudden you won’t be creating with
purpose the way that you were supposed
to and you’ll lose your vision for why
you were here in the first place and and
depression will start to make you think
that you should move on to suicide
because the influence has crept in but I
came to kick some influences out I’ll
tell you over the last couple of weeks
I’ve been looking at things and I feel
like for myself personally that there
have been some influences that kind of
crept in to some spaces and some places
that I didn’t even know what I had a
weakness in and when I recognized that I
had a weakness in that area I had to go
back to the revelation about why I was
in that situation in the first place
what Paul does with the Church of
Galatia when he recognizes that
influences have crept in and he decides
to get aggressive with him I want to
show you in my text he begins to go back
through his history and I needed to
understand why it was that he was going
back through his history because his
history doesn’t have anything to do with
what’s happening in the moment at least
that’s what I thought because as I was
studying I realized that his history is
important to this text because his
history is a sign of the transformation
that has taken place within him and when
you have a transformation that is
radical that takes place in you
changes your expectation for what
happens outside of you because there’s
something about a radical transformation
that God does within you that makes you
look at situations that could never be
turned or transformed differently
because when God has transformed you
radically you believe that he can
transform any situation radically so
Paul has a radical expectation for the
Church of Galatia because he has
experienced radical transformation what
we have to pray for before we pray for
our external transformation is that God
would do something down on the inside of
us so radical that it places faith for
what he wants to do outside of us Paul
tells us in his text I used to murder
Christians and I was good at it and I
was climbing the ranks when I was in
that Lane but I had a radical encounter
with God and when I had this radical
encounter with God had activated me in a
lane that I didn’t even know I could
possess and when God activated me in a
lane that I didn’t even know I could
possess I had faith for things that I
shouldn’t have had faith for and I had a
vision for things that I never should
have had vision for and I just want to
be honest I came praying that God would
have a radical encounter in this church
tonight because if God has a radical
encounter with just two or three of us I
don’t even need the whole room if he
would have a radical encounter with two
or three of us we would have
expectations for things that we
shouldn’t even be expecting we would
start thinking that the movie industry
had to bow down at the name of Jesus we
start believing that Depression had to
leave in the name of Jesus
radical expectations would make us
believe that the wholeness has to get up
off the street and get into the drop
industry I wouldn’t have this
expectation but I had a radical
transformation and when God has an
encounter with you it’s supposed to
change your expectation Jesus didn’t
have an encounter for Paul for Paul he
had an encounter for Paul for what he
could do through Paul and I hear God
saying stop storing me up for your own
selfish ambitions and start asking me
what do I want to do with that encounter
that you’ve had that doesn’t want to be
a little secret thing on the side I
don’t want this thing to just be what
you and I have I’m trying to unleash
something on the earth so Paul takes it
back to the revelation that started this
moment to begin with Oh God he says in
order for you to understand why you have
to stay in position I want you to
understand why I shouldn’t be in
position because if you see why I
shouldn’t be in position then you’ll
stay in position why will you stay in
position because you’ll see that the
transformation is coming
Oh God you got to help me say it the way
that we study there Paul is a living
testimony for the Church of Galatia what
Jesus did with him was a radical
transformation but Galatia is still in
seed form it hasn’t fully manifested
into what it can be but God sent
somebody who had already experienced the
transformation to tell the church when
it was still in seed form if you
they in position the transformation will
radically blow your mind let me say it
the way you understand it
I brought my hips all the way down here
to tell you something but if you stay in
position that God is going to have a
radical transformation that you would
never expect how do I know because I am
a living witness that if you mess around
and let him do what he says he can do I
haven’t seen it
Eaters haven’t heard it neither has it
entered into the hearts of men what he
will do in your life he has an
expectation
[Music]
stay in position stay in position stay
in position no more influences diluting
your power
no more influences that live in your
vision you got to stay in position you
got to build the structure you gotta
find the team you gotta stay in position
because the influences are trying to
dilute your momentum but when you
acknowledge what they’re trying to do
you in their mission and I just wanted
you to know that it is time for us to
move ourselves out of the way so that
the momentum of what God wants to do can
be fully manifested in the earth god I
hear you talking in this room tonight I
feel like there’s some momentum building
in this room there’s some momentum
building in this room for what God wants
to do in your life God said it doesn’t
take okay God is speaking to me then the
Church of Galatia was being diluted
because there was a group trying to make
them do what was old and traditional but
what God wanted to do needed to remain
fresh so that it could have the kind of
momentum and needed to take over the
earth if you go back to doing what was
old and what you understood and what
other people approved of you’re gonna
mess around and miss the fresh thing
that God wants to do in this earth y’all
know I’m here for the culture I wanted
to call this message fresh to this
because my goal is to stay fresh until
the day that I die
want to stay fresh with revelation I
want to stay fresh with wisdom I want to
stay fresh with creativity so I have to
be protective and not go back and not
shrink when God is creating momentum for
something new I’m creating momentum for
something new so we’re restructuring
right now because the momentum that you
need for what I want to do requires a
different structure you got to be
willing to create an environment for the
momentum to move you got to move some
things out of the way you think too slow
you think too small you’re not thinking
big enough you got to leave room for
growth I love this because Paul
basically tells them we’re leaving room
for growth we’re not putting God in
limits right now we’re not putting God
in the box right now I hear God saying
you dream that dream but you leave room
for growth because that’s where the
exceedingly and the abundantly comes in
Gus says you do everything that you can
the leaves room leaf rules for growth
have a radical expectation I started
getting bogged down and all of the
details of what I needed to do and I
started getting overwhelmed and thinking
to myself I’m in over my head I don’t
know if I can do this but I had a
meeting that reminded me of how far this
thing could go and that meeting changed
my expectation nothing in my situation
changed but my expectation and when my
expectation changed my momentum changed
because when I realized what I was
working towards it shifted how I worked
towards it
when Paul talks took Alicia I’m finished
cuz I don’t ran through my notes when
Paul talks to the Church of Galatia he’s
got to get them back to the revelation
that started this huh I gotta get you
back to the revelation that started this
I don’t know if you’ve ever been on
navigation in a zooms intent where
you’re turning in that moment but every
now and then if you zoom out you’ll see
the areas where there’s traffic and
you’ll see the areas where things are
moving slow but you also see the
destination so you recognize I might
have to go through some things to get to
that destination but you keep that
revelation in mind that’s exactly what a
revelation does it helps you to
recognize that there are some things
that are a part of the journey but at
the end of the day my end goal is still
within my mind that end goal is still
within my vision there’s a revelation
that started this church there’s a
revelation that started your life
there’s a revelation that started that
book don’t lose sight of the revelation
the revelation start at the marriage the
revelation started the business that
revelation that you could go into that
industry and that you could change the
culture of it that wasn’t just
whispering sweet nothings that was a
revelation that you could change the
culture that was a revelation I hear you
guys saying don’t get bogged down in the
politics of what’s happening around you
don’t get bogged down in the culture of
what’s taking place around you remember
I sent you there with a expectation I
sent you in that room with an
expectation I put you in that family
with an expectation this started with a
revelation and when you lose sight of
everything go back to the revelation
because the momentum is connected to the
revelation the vision is connected to
the revelation the breakthrough
connected to the revelation the strength
to walk away is connected to the
revelation I hear somebody’s been asking
God how are you going to do it and God
says just get back to the revelation the
revelation is why you left the
relationship cuz you said to yourself I
think I can do better than this the
revelation is why you left the city
because you said to yourself I think my
gift is too big for this room
the revelation started this thing I came
to put somebody back in position I came
to help somebody get back to your
revelation I am who God says I am I can
do what God says I can do no weapon
formed against me will prosper Oh things
are gonna work together for my good
that’s what the Word of God says that’s
the revelation he gave them and it’s the
revelation he’s given now
[Music]
[Applause]
get back get back to the revelation get
back to the revelation get back to the
vision I had in mind because everything
you need is in that word everything you
need is in that revelation I know you
had some disappointments I’m thinking
about some things that fell apart but
I’m also seeing how God is picking it
back up again and I said god I thought
we was over that but I said no get back
to the revelation cuz your creativity I
don’t know who that is for but I felt
like God gave you some specific words
and somewhere along the way you forgot
those words but you got to get back to
that revelation so that it can change
your expectation of this moment somebody
has been through so much trauma that the
only thing they can expect is more
trauma and more disappointment but when
you get back to the revelation you
recognize that trauma is a part of it
but trauma don’t stop nothing that pain
doesn’t stop anything that when it’s all
said and done that pain will turn into
purpose and I look back at the thing I
was crying at and I laughed because I
thought that that was gonna be the end
of me but turns out it was really the
birthing of me
and on the other side a different
version of me help thought it could stop
me but held it no baby I land on my feet
I thought not laughing this thing what’s
up la what you’re trying to do in here I
wish somebody would understand that that
resurrection power that got Jesus off
the cross is resurrecting your purpose
its resurrecting your dream and it’s
it’s resurrecting your passion your
passion is see people have fresh
encounters your passion is see that
there’s another way to do it
God when I had this revelation I felt
like nothing could stop me and then I
ran into some Giants that scared me but
I feel like somebody’s getting back in
position that they recognize that that
revelation is what got me this far and
that revelation is what’s going to take
me further that revelation has unless
you left the revelation but that
revelation is still waiting in position
God didn’t go anywhere the promise
hasn’t left yet I’m just waiting on you
to identify those influences that crept
in and diluted your momentum some
influence they they creep in you don’t
even know they’re there until you’re not
what you’re supposed to be and you look
back and you say to yourself how did I
get here an influence crept in but that
revelation is more powerful than the
influence which is why Paul does not get
into a theology discussion with the
Church of Galatia he just reminds them
of his encounter when Jesus revealed
himself to him and gave him a revelation
he said I may not be able to go
toe-to-toe with theology with those
influences who have crept into Galatia
but I had an encounter that cannot be
disputed and my encounter cannot be
disputed and it was so powerful that it
touched you and changed your life and
you had an encounter that could not be
disputed that revelation is more
powerful than any of those influences
and there are some of you who don’t have
a revelation for it your external life
right now but you have a revelation for
who you’re supposed to be inside but
those influences are making you believe
that you can’t be that on the inside so
you focus on the outside cuz you’re
afraid to do the work inside but I hear
God’s saying that outsides not going to
change until the inside changes because
when you change your inside I can trust
you at the
side so we don’t need a radical external
transformation we need a radical
internal transformation where I start to
andressa
address the influences that creeped
inside of my hope and creeped inside of
my faith and creeped inside of my
anointing because those influences are
the ones that are trying to take you out
but they didn’t know you was coming to
church tonight my husband told me before
I got up here he said don’t leave a
devil in town so I need about two or
three people who don’t mind Warren with
me
on behalf of the person beside you I
need you to worship for the person
beside you
lift up a brain
for the person beside
get out
get out of their house that woman
go
oh man
say not rebuke you hell you have no
place here I plead the blood of Jesus
over their minds
Jesus over their finances where one can
chase 1,000 tokens ain’t it
I bet a thousand of us could chase a
million the influences got to go that
means my praise gotta be louder than the
influences than the influence anyway
[Applause]
through
[Music]
when I worship you gotta let me go when
I praise you gotta let me go somebody’s
getting back to the revelation the
revelation is that when I formed you in
your mother’s womb I knew you I
sanctified su i anointed shoes sex you
apart I’m going back to the revelation
no weapon formed against me will prosper
all things will work together for my
good
back to the revelation
[Applause]
the revelation that I would change the
culture the revelation that I would
break the generational curse the
revelation that I would be a business
owner the revelation that I would be the
one that pulls my family up I’m going
back to the revelation I’m going back to
the revelation God remind me what she
said about me God show me what you meant
when you place me a nurse take me back
to what you know
[Applause]
[Music]
you’ll see and sugar added I will see no
devil in him stronger than the
revelation the revelation put Jesus on
the cross and the revelation rose him up
again on the third day Jesus had a
revelation about who he was that’s why
he got on the cross because the cross
wasn’t gonna be the end of him
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
God said
[Applause]
I said I placed you here I placed you I
set you I set you in this city I set you
in this city that’s why you couldn’t
pack up and go home
I set you in this city that’s why you
left and came back I set you in that
family I set you in that business I set
you there because there’s a revelation
there’s a revelation that I have about
who you are and what you can do and I’m
just waiting on you to live live your
life by that revelation that you could
take the city but you could change the
family that was a revelation I didn’t
send you down here for vacation I sent
you down here for a revelation I sent
you down here so I could be revealed
through you I sent you down here because
you would pave a way for me to come
through you he first revealed himself to
Paul then he revealed himself through
Paul I sent you here because I’m trying
to reveal something about Who I am and
what I can do but most importantly who I
can use I can use anybody I can do
anything but God wants to partner
with people who will protect the
momentum of what he wants to do in the
earth how do I protect him first I
remove the influences in me that keep
him from flowing through me there are
our influences that keep the momentum
from flowing when I met your pastor my
husband a part of me was nervous because
I realized that he was going to create
more momentum than I was wasn’t sure
that I was capable of matching that
level of momentum but it was such a god
thing that I knew that when someone
comes into my life they add momentum to
me and if I am afraid to be connected
with what God is doing in earth then I
would be connected to the earth and
ain’t nobody got time for that I came to
bring heaven to earth
I came to unleash heaven on earth and so
you need to be in environments and
relationships and friendships that add
to your momentum and finally with you
and I start losing steam
then we gotta go and check it it’ll be
better for us to depart not just for me
but for you because if you slowing down
my momentum I’m slowing down your
momentum there is a such thing as
goodbye because I believe that if we
aren’t meant to be together then you’re
better off without me and I’m definitely
better off without you because my
Momentum’s gotta flow the most dangerous
thing that could have happened to the
Church of Galatia is that they allowed
those outside influences to take them
back to something old and stale when God
wanted to do something fresh and
whenever we see that something or
someone is taking us back to an old
stale version of who we are we have to
see it as a threat to our momentum
because I’m heading towards who God
wants me to be I want to pray with you I
want to pray with you you’re here and
you’re afraid to go back to the
revelation you’re afraid to go back to
the revelation because of the
disappointments you experienced and
you’re afraid that if you go back to
that revelation and you get your hopes
up and it doesn’t work out again then
you’re gonna be lost and more broken
than you are right now so having faith
literally cost you something I want you
to meet me at this altar
I’m a I’m straight-up afraid to believe
this message radical expectations it’s
radical because for some of us it is
easier to not believe then to believe
God I I’m afraid that if I go back to
expect in the way that I once did and I
fail or it doesn’t work out that I’ll be
embarrassed or I’ll be broken but if
you’re honest with yourself that
defensive mechanism that you have
created isn’t working either because
there’s still a wrestling taking place
down on the inside of you that wants you
to see what if he was right when he said
that I could do it it’s important for
you to know like I said those influences
they creep in for the best of us that it
was never supposed to be smooth sailing
everything was never supposed to be easy
he didn’t send us down here for vacation
there’s a battle going on a spiritual
battle taking place if you don’t believe
me when you see those headlines of what
darkness is going into Walmart and
shooting up there’s a war going on and
we can’t afford to be asking God when
can I be on cruise control the better
question is God when can I be activated
what needs to happen down on the inside
of me for me to be activated for me to
be doing something in my city and with
my family that puts a stake in the
ground
it says hell you can’t have this and if
you do your part and I do my part then
we could cover the globe that’s why
Paula takes it very seriously what’s
happening in Galatia because he
recognizes that they are holding down a
corner
the earth where God’s glory needs to be
manifested we are here to manifest the
glory of God that means that we can’t
manifest shame in the glory at the same
time and we can’t allow our depression
to be manifested in the glory to be
manifested at the same time that’s why
you got to go to counseling that’s why
you got a worship even when you don’t
feel like it somebody needs to go to
rehab somebody needs to get into some
rooms with some spiritual counselor so
that we can cast out a devil because we
got to make sure that God’s glory can be
manifested and I don’t know about you
but I’m tired of worry and anxiety
manifesting themselves when the Spirit
of God lives down on the inside of me
and every now and then you gotta talk
back to that spirit and you gotta tell
that speech you can’t have them
microphone any longer that I am a child
of the Most High God and I rebuke every
thought that’s coming up against my
identity right now you got a police your
spirit because influences creep in and
they change your momentum I want to pray
with you you two ready to get back in
position I’m ready to get back in
position I fell off a little bit I lost
my way but I’m ready to get back in I’m
ready to get back in position I want to
see a radical transformation take place
I want to pray for you you need a
radical encounter if I’m calling your
name come down and meet us at the altar
get as close to it as you can because
when we start worshiping and we start
praying we’re gonna kick some influences
out you’re in this room and there are
some influences that you have been
struggling with time after time after
time and you are ready to finally have
victory I’m gonna see a victory well you
didn’t even know that you were
prophesying over your own circumstance
I’m tired of going back to the same
situation I’m tired of feeling like
alcohol has the power
over me I’m tired of feeling like drugs
have power over me I’m tired of feeling
like sex has power over me I’m ready to
kick some influences out I’m ready for
the gift of God to be stirred up down on
the inside of me where my worshippers
that in this place if you’re in this
room please
start praying in your own language start
worshipping in your own language
some of you prefer meditation let’s
meditate on who God is we have some
influences that have to leave our
brothers and sisters we have some
influences that’s got to leave our mind
they got to leave our home this
influence has to leave our marriage that
low self-esteem can’t stay here anymore
that suicidal thought can’t stay here
anymore
we got a wage war with the enemy and I
only need one or two it’s fine I want us
to start praying like somebody’s life
depends on it I want us to start praying
like somebody’s marriage depends on it
let me for just a minute
hear the sound of worship
I want it
to cast out every fear you’ve been
praying for an encounter God said you
gotta meet me halfway when you open your
mouth you make room for me when you open
your hearts you make room for me I know
it’s not really your style but get it
your own way step out of your comfort
box if while you can do is open your
hands open your hands like your
breakthrough was going to drop down in
it you’re going to get your strength
back you’re gonna get your power back
I just want to hear hunger
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
I can’t take you no further than this
and some things you got to do on your
own
god I need you God I can’t do it without
you god I’m tired
God I’m broken when you open your mouth
it makes room for him to come into you
when you open your heart it makes room
for him to invade you that’s why the
enemy’s going to always be after your
praise and depression is going to always
be over your mouth because the power of
life and death is in the tongue god I
want my life back
god I want my passion back god I want my
heart back god help me to forgive God
help me to move past this spirit of the
Living God
shake it out all those ticketed enemy
she gobbles
[ __ ] I suck out honorable she get it
anyways she carries glory glory glory
glory glory glory glory glory glory
glory glory glory
I need a glory exchange
I need a glory exchange I need your
power for my weakness I need your vision
for my life
I need your anointing where I we can be
glory glory glory glory God I’m trying
to set something in motion God I’m
trying to see who you are for real
[Applause]
god we worship You God we worship you we
exalt your name in this place God we
exalt you over depression God we exalt
you over that relationship God you’re
greater than that God you’re higher than
that God I take off those issues off the
throne and I put you back in your
rightful position God I’m putting you
back where you belong
God I’m putting you back as the king of
my heart
[Applause]
god I want to know you in a fresh new
way God wherever there is a heart open
and a hand race I ask that your glory
would fall over their lives that it
would permeate every crack that it would
feel every home God let your glory
confront the influences that have
diluted their momentum and God is we
have these confrontations with these
influences my prayer God is that you
would give us a revelation that is
stronger than the influence God give me
a revelation over who I am a revelation
about what I can do
invade the lives of these your sons and
daughters open their mouths that they
may exalt you when those influences try
to talk them out of who you’ve called
them to be
this word is so important because the
earth is groaning right now the Amazon
is on fire right now and the we all know
it affects the ozone layer of the entire
earth and when you look at that you say
wow what’s going on that’s the Bible
describes it as the earth growing in
Romans 8 you hear it all the time the
expectation of creation as everything
that God created the whole universe is
expecting and is waiting for the
revealing of the children of God that
we’re revealing means the
Festing and that’s why you can’t play
with the influences because the
influences are trying to keep you from
being who you must be in order for this
shift to come so when you see that this
first was mess is so prophetic and so on
point and so powerful and I want you to
I’m making the connection between what
Pastor Sarah is saying and what you’re
seeing all of creation it talks about
how it’s groaning and you’re groaning –
you’re groaning – do you have a longing
some of you are in pain some of you in a
crazy struggle some of you are literally
being wearied by circumstances you were
tired some of you want to quit and you
want to give up and it’s because you’re
you’re becoming you’re groaning it’s
time in that passage study it when you
get a chance that’s Romans 8 study that
whole thing it talks about how the whole
creation is groaning with birth pangs
birth pangs the pain of birth birth is
not on your schedule it’s not on your
schedule birth is on God’s schedule it
is a pre-determined moment and time
where God says that this must be and he
will allow the shaking to come he will
allow the struggle to come because at
the end of the day you must be so every
word of this message about the
influences right we can’t we can’t allow
what God is trying to do to be
contaminated it’s it’s it’s so serious
it is not for a blessing it is not for a
breakthrough it is not for business
it is not for boo all those things can
happen but
is not for that it is for you it’s for
you it’s for you I’ve got to be me I’ve
got to be me and the whole world is
groaning I promise y’all set up that
Amazon thing I said that’s a birth pain
and it it speaks back to you when you
see all that stuff going on and and
we’ve been preaching about the air it’s
in the air and then the Amazon which
controls the air over the universe is on
fire with the threat over the air birth
pangs and so we got to become it has
been said and perhaps there is a deeper
deeper level of letting things go that
needs to happen not tomorrow not I need
to go home in process
[Music]
[Applause]
right now you gotta be that relentless
you gotta be that committed you gotta be
that I feel the Spirit of God you got to
leave it at the altar right here right
now I’m done with you I’m done with it
enough and some of you it’s a flirting
you’re not you haven’t married it but
you flirt with it and flirt produces
dirt you didn’t marry it
you just dabble you just dabble and you
come back home and God is saying that
that’s not gonna cut it
not even a flirt I’m just just catch it
where you where you live
not even the flirt don’t even look at it
close your eyes turn away from it turn
your back on it pray in the spirit until
it leaves your mind because it’s owned
like it has never been on I promise you
I wouldn’t Nigel it’s on like it has
never been on and so you got to be on
like you have never been on in Christ so
we’re gonna have about 60 seconds Salah
and it knows 60 seconds I want you to
gather every influence I want you to
gather it because it’s interesting that
it’s a fire the fire can work two ways
fire was an element of worship you would
put what needed to die on the fire and
it would be consumed and so we’re gonna
take 60 seconds and whatever came to
mind the pastor was speaking the one
thing with a 714 things and here’s the
thing family you can anything that God
reveals anything that God reveals he has
anointed for it to be healed right there
in that moment right there in that
moment
you have to get that I can’t out the way
or I don’t know how it has nothing to do
with that all you have to do is give it
to him for real say god I don’t want to
do business with that anymore
and so we’re gonna take 60 seconds and I
want you to gather it and I want you to
leave it here at this altar God loves
you he loves you he’s got you ain’t
nobody man it’s none of that I’m talking
about you being who you have got to be
sons and daughters of God we got to
stand up and I’m not talking about
standing up on some religious thing I’m
just talking about the real you showing
up and then God will guide you from
there he can’t even guide the foss
Sheila he’s like I need you to be the
real you so that I can guide you so you
have a sense of identification with who
God is talking to sixty Seconds and
we’re gonna bring it to him all of us
we’re gonna bring it to everything you
little flirting things in particular
things you flirt with because those are
subtle and deadly subtle creep in they
creep in 60 seconds
I hear the Lord saying you can change
can’t change and me it is changed
and a new rhythm will begin
a new rhythm will begin whoo a rhythm of
victory a rhythm of victory I’m hearing
news for having a new sign
I had the drums of God beating in the
background of your life a new rhythm a
new momentum Jesus silvus silvus you
love your sons and daughters so much you
don’t have to be afraid of what you read
or what you see you don’t have to be
afraid of it just let it call forth who
you are you’re a child of God
son of God daughter of God you’re who he
placed here to make sure everything will
be okay hallelujah
it’s you Authority new Authority you’re
gonna start speaking to things you’re
gonna start speaking to environments and
atmospheres and things are gonna shift
because the creation will recognize you
oh I feel God and things are gonna shift
because of you that’s why that’s why
that’s why we can’t have influences
because influences strip you from you to
be a child of God what done we got to go
to be a child of God means that you
carry the authority of God
you you didn’t like you didn’t like that
theologically Romans 8 you got to read
that whole thing it says that Christ was
the firstborn among many brethren and
our journey is to be conformed to the
image of Christ Christ walked the earth
with God’s Authority and stuff had to
move you gonna speak to stuff and I’m
talk big er than your situation that’s
easy you gonna start speaking to the
situation of nations and regions and
continents that’s what you’re growing up
into it’s bigger than your life you
being consumed with your life is a
distraction it is a distraction
it’s a straight-out distraction
that’s why Jesus taught in Matthew 6
he’s like is not your life more than
that I got that covered
he says what seek first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness and all other
things will be added unto you
there is a kingdom that is coming it is
unshakeable it is unbreakable it has the
authority of heaven and when it shows up
things change and guess what you know
where the kingdom is look in the mirror
it is you it is in you that’s what it
means what it says greater is He Who is
in you than he that is in the world and
so I can’t flirt with these influences
and that’s why this word was prophetic
and point and you got to hear it and you
got to become it and you can’t get
excited and leaving no no no this is a
real word for real word yeah ain’t that
right baby
amen anybody celebrate Jesus for his
word come on somebody he celebrate Jesus
for his word its protection
this word is protection come off villain
I don’t know what you got protected from
somebody got you just got saved for real
not saved spiritually I think some of
you got saved from something crazy
that’s why we thank him for his word it
is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto
our path and you have to recognize when
you have heard a timely prophetic
life-changing and life-saving message
can we celebrate Jesus but pastor Sarah
this work thank you for laboring and
being who you had to be to get this word
and we’re gonna honor God by by applying
it by receiving it saying god I’m not
gonna let that word fall to the ground
I’m gonna lean into it
i’ma play it again I’m gonna go to
youtube and play it again on YouTube
it’ll be on the podcast later imma
listen to the podcast and I’m gonna keep
on becoming until I become
