of great work here comes the word i’m so
glad you’re here enjoy
i heard god say
take the lead
i was studying in scripture
about moments when god was
having transition take place amongst his
people
who were the people in those moments who
stood up to those moments of transition
and i was studying this because i
believe that as i watch the landscape of
the world the landscape of church
that we are experiencing a transition
and that no one truly knows how to
respond to this transition because some
of our ideas are so innovative and so
creative that there’s nothing in the
industries nothing in our families that
reflect what we are sensing should be
next
and yet that desire still in us
so i was studying and i ran across
not an unfamiliar text but it’s david
david at this point in the text has been
anointed king
even though no one saw it coming
he was anointed
although he was anointed he did not move
into position just because he was
anointed and that’s a sermon unto itself
just because you’re anointed doesn’t
mean you’re ready for the crown that
you’ve been anointed for
there’s something about a development
process and
we find david in the middle of his
developmental process in first samuel 17
verse 31 and my text begins
in the new king james version it says
now when the words which david spoke
were heard let me set this up for you
david wants to run up on goliath
he ain’t fought nobody you know have you
ever had the person who don’t throw
hands what’s up miami how real
can we be the people who talk the most
about hitting some
when it’s actually time to roll up the
sleeves
nowhere to be found
you got to watch out for them quiet ones
because they
they click they click don’t click all
the way so if everyone’s being quiet you
might want to move out the way because
they don’t fight for they grab they pick
up podiums and move it’s just
okay
they’re like dean david what are you
doing trying to fight somebody
he says i’m the man for the job because
y’all punks
and
um
so david speaks the words that he’s
ready i can go i can fight this goliath
i know you’re just used to me tending to
the sheep but i can fight goliath even
his brothers who know that he has been
anointed don’t believe that he can go
into this battle
just because you’re anointed it doesn’t
mean that people change their minds
about you
still in this moment he’s the only one
who believes that he’s capable of
fighting goliath
now when the words which david spoke
were heard they reported them to saul
they saw his king
and he sent for david
then david said to saul let no man’s
heart fail because of him goliath your
servant will go and fight with this
philistine
and saul said to david you are not able
to go against this philistine to fight
with him for you are a youth
and he a man of war from his youth
but david said to saul your servant used
to keep his father sheep and when a lion
or a bear came and took the lamb out of
the flock i went out after it and struck
it and delivered the lamb from its mouth
and when it arose against me i caught it
by its beard and struck it and killed it
he said i’m not new to this um
what’s that
[Music]
and delivered the land from its mouth
and when it arose against me i cut about
to be instructed your servant has killed
both lion and bear and this
uncircumcised philistine
will be like one of them
seeing he has defied the armies of the
living god
i love that he called it the armies of
the living god he didn’t say that he
defied israel
he didn’t say that he ran upon our army
the armies of the living god david has a
keen awareness of whose army this is
everyone else has made it about them and
whether or not they have what it takes
but david has a perspective that when
goliath picked this fight he didn’t just
pick it with israel he picked it with
the armies of the living god he is not a
dead god he is a living god and when you
pick a battle with the army of the
living god the living god will have a
response heaven will back up what heaven
is trying to do in the earth so if you
are against what heaven is trying to do
in that earth
beware
david said the lord who delivered me
from the paul of the lion from the paw
of the bear he will deliver me from the
hand of the philistine and saul said to
david go
and the lord be with you spirit of the
living god
truly there is none like you
god i thank you that this timing for
this conference could not be more
perfect
delayed in our eyes yet right on time
because transition needed to take place
so that hunger could be awakened
and activation could be realized
god i thank you for every purpose every
anointing every dream
every scar and every trauma in this room
god for we know that the anointing does
not come without cost
my prayer is that this would be a night
of reconciliation
and when we get to the bottom line we
will see
who are yet anointed to take the lead
god asked for me asks for no nerves no
fear no anxiety
just your anointing taking the lead in
this moment
have your way great god that you are
and may we experience your glory
and may it overflow into our cities
into our homes and into our lives
in jesus name i pray
amen
so
i just prayed they already clapping
that’s you jesus um
uh introverts make some noise in here
are there any introverts
let me tell y’all something it take a
lot for us to be outside the pandemic
wasn’t as hard on us as it was on other
people
outside is open evidently and um we’re
trying to be more active as introverts
we’re trying to go outside more and it’s
working sometimes sometimes we be
outside and we like this is why
i be at the house
y’all don’t know how to act in public
some of y’all not all of y’all i just
want y’all know when y’all start like
just coming up to introverts with a lot
of joy that scares us we don’t know what
to do with that we need you to be dry
when you come to us
i learned this weekend though we were at
my dad’s birthday party and what i
learned is that i am raising an
extrovert which was like really
devastating for me
because it just means i’m gonna have to
have a lot of parent dates you know like
where you’re somewhere with the play day
pretending like
i want to tell you how i learned this so
we’re at my dad’s birthday party my dad
just turned 65
and um yeah
and um he had this birthday party and
you know like when we do stuff like
we’re gonna be out here in an hour and a
half max black people where i’m from i
don’t know about florida everything is
long this is going to be a five hour
long birthday party
we have a recession we have a procession
we have the in
in benediction all of the things in
vacation and so i’m at this birthday
party i’m trying to find a wall to cling
to my 12 year old daughter says she’s
gonna go get punched i haven’t seen
chick for like an hour
somebody comes up to me they’re like i
met your daughter i was like hal is that
even possible because you’re 60 and
she’s 12. like how did you meet her
she’s like she came up to me and was
like who are you what do you do and i
was like what
where i’m from kids don’t even talk to
grown folks like this this conscious
parenting another conference but you
know you try to liberate them to like be
free and have thoughts and then they go
and talk to grown folks
he’s in the middle of telling me about
my daughter talking about being a marine
bio biologist and someone’s like oh i
met her too i was like what is happening
they’re like i knew it was your daughter
though because she has your same
mannerisms i was like okay what like
mannerisms because you’ve never really
they said something with hands
i was like it’s not like we sat down and
i was like when you talk i want you to
do this and do that like she’s stalking
me like honestly
like she’s going out pretending to be me
if i were an extrovert
how did you pick up my mannerisms and
then my mama’s like well you know it’s
not what you say it’s what you do that
they end up picking up on and i was like
that’s why i snatch her like that
because you snatched
me
she didn’t like that
i guess though that whatever you’re
around
ultimately
gets on you
and then it gets
in you
and then it comes out of you
you’re around it
it gets on you
then it gets in you
then it comes out of you
this is why they say
both perpetrators and victims of
domestic violence are more than likely
to have experienced it at home
before experiencing it firsthand
because it happens around you
it’s on you
in you
out of you
alcohol abuse
generally
saw it in the house around you
on you
in you
so when we say things in scripture like
greater is he that is in me than he that
is in the world we really need to
qualify it i say it all the time i’m
going to create an ebonics version of
the
bible it’s going to be the best of thank
you she said go ahead it’s going to be a
bestseller
and i’m going to take that scripture in
1st john
and i’m going to change it to say
greater is he that is in you
now than the he that got in you first
it sounds good when we say that
but sometimes there is something
else in us there’s another version in us
there’s another experience and so it has
less to do with us believing that
greater is he that is in me than he that
is in the world and more to do with us
considering what if that greater that is
in me needs to go to war with what’s in
me too
yes
but we have to be willing to ask
ourselves when we say greater is he that
is in me than the other things that god
around me on me in me and now out of me
so which version of me is going to take
the lead
something is taking the lead in your
life whether you have been intentional
about it or you’ve just been on cruise
control if you haven’t taken inventory
of what was around you on you in you and
now coming out of you then you cannot
really qualify whether that around you
on you in you out you came from god or
came from your family system or came
from your culture in your community and
you cannot trust what’s coming out of
you unless what’s coming out of you has
been filtered by the one who created you
because sometimes what comes out of me
is a trauma response sometimes what
comes out of me is rooted in shame it’s
rooted in fear so just because it’s
coming out of me doesn’t mean that it
needs to stay in me but when we say
greater is he that is in me i want you
to know that god is great enough to go
to war with what god in you first god is
great enough to go to war with what’s
been in you for a long time it doesn’t
matter who got there first it matters
who’s going to take the lead now i came
to talk to somebody who’s ready to make
a transition i came to talk to somebody
who says i’m afraid that i’m going to
miss out on what god called me to do in
the earth because what keeps coming out
of me is not a reflection of no of who i
know i can be
oh god i feel like preaching in this
place
somebody’s got a knowing down on the
inside of them that is going to war with
what they’ve seen sometimes you know
something but you have no facts for it
and i hear god saying that flesh and
blood has not revealed that to you but
by my spirit do you have that knowing
it’s not about what was around you i
know you don’t have a motto for it i
know it’s not about what’s going popular
i know you don’t have a model for it i’m
trying to put something down in your
spirit that hasn’t been seen so the
earth can see something that’s never
been done before and you got a knowing
that’s down on the inside of you and i
hear god saying it’s time for you to
lean into that knowing it’s time for you
to lean into that voice it’s time for
that voice to take the lead not your
father’s voice not your mother’s voice
not your friend’s voice no shade i know
y’all came here with them but if their
voice is taking the lead then you were
following behind an
untrustworthy servant but if i dare to
allow the holy spirit to take the lead
you better watch out who you’re sitting
next to cause i’m on the move somewhere
i got somewhere to go i’m listening for
something there’s a sound connected to
my name a sound connected to my identity
and i’m trying to let it take the lead
sometimes i gotta quiet out the noise
cause i’m trying to listen to
the sound
i hear god saying that it’s been coming
in whispers but it’s still a sound
that you haven’t heard everyone echoing
but it’s still a sound the sound says
breakthrough
the sound says if it’s going to be
turned upside down
it’s going to happen through you
it’s going to happen through you
i want that to rest on you for a minute
because there’s a weight
that you got to feel for breakthrough
there’s a glory that you gotta rest in
so that you can believe when you open
your mouth you can decree a thing and it
will be established there’s a weight
that’s coming to you i don’t know who
you are in this room and i don’t know
what god’s been trying to birth on the
inside of you but i hear god saying that
you gotta get weighty first
that’s why coming into rooms like this
is so important because you get around
the anointing
then the anointing gets on you
then it gets in you
then come sunday is gonna come out of
you i’m not gonna be the same person i
was when i came in this room cause i
messed around and got around some
anointing i got around some breakthrough
i got around some faith i got around
some courage if i can go to a football
game and leave more excited about a
football game i wonder what can happen
when i come into a room and decide to
lift up the name of god could it be that
i’ll be lifted up too you came in here
with depression but you in the right
room baby you came in here with anxiety
but you’re in the right world baby
because you got around something that’s
going to not just lift you higher
but i’mma pull up everything
connected to you as well when we find
david in our text
david has come to a point in his life
where he realizes
that the spirit of the lord is upon him
and the spirit of the lord changed his
mind about what’s possible
i want to talk about when you know
you’re anointed
so often we want to believe it
that if i walk with jesus i should be
anointed
but if we were really honest in this
room
sometimes we don’t feel that anointed
i don’t know if i could actually cast
out a devil
i don’t know if i could stand up to war
i don’t know if i believe anymore that i
could lay hands and heal the sick i
don’t know if i could break this
generational curse i don’t know if i
could break through this barrier
david has been anointed
and i think one of the first signs that
we see that the anointing is not just on
him but in him
is how it has changed his expectation
david is
watching the israelites and the
philistines go to war about who’s going
to actually attack goliath
and though he should have no reason to
believe that he is equipped for it
because he trusts the anointing that is
on his life it has changed his
expectation about the outcome of battles
i wish i could say it
the way i hear it in my head
david has no reason to believe that he
can fight goliath
but because he has been anointed he now
recognizes that every battle i’ve had up
until this moment has qualified me for
the moment i am standing in
you see he’s not like us in which we
think all of the battles i barely
survived why would i step into another
one but david says if i am anointed to
be king
and i am not king yet
and there is a giant that is coming
against my kingdom
then that means this giant cannot
succeed because if the giant can’t
succeed then god’s promise can’t succeed
so my expectation is that this giant
must come down i want to talk to
somebody who has some unfulfilled
promise in this room and you’ve got
giants after giants that you need to
slay and you’re wondering to yourself
how is this promise going to be
fulfilled with this giant standing in
the way and i want you to know that the
giant is a boogie man if god’s word
hasn’t been fulfilled yet then that
giant cannot stand god is just looking
for someone who will take the lead and
say to the giant you cannot have this
territory because this territory has
been assigned to me i must not have any
families in here because when you see a
giant coming into your marriage you see
a giant coming into your business and
that business doesn’t look like what god
said you gotta prophesy over your
business that you gotta stay alive
because you haven’t finished developing
yet you don’t look like what god said i
haven’t stepped into the fullness of my
identity yet so the giants gotta fall
i’m gonna stay here for a minute cause
we’ve got some giants in this room and
i’m glad you brought your giant with you
because there’s something i want you to
know about your giant your giant can not
overrule god’s promise your giant has no
more power than what your fear gives it
david says i expect for this giant to
fall because this giant is standing in
the way of my promise and if god is not
a man that he shall lie then this giant
is lying on what it can do this lion
can’t take out this giant can’t take out
my life unless i sit back and let it oh
man i feel like fighting in this room
now because i feel like somebody’s got
to get their fire back i feel like
somebody’s got to start believing again
that if the giant is standing in my way
it’s because the giant’s got my name on
it it’s because i’m the only one who can
take it out if you can see the giant and
the juice
who’s sizing up a giant in miami i
didn’t know that we came to miami to go
to war i met jesus in miami and jesus
said i’ll back you up if you throw your
slingshot i met jesus in miami and jesus
said if you run upon it i’ll run up on
it too i sent some angels to back you up
i’m looking for somebody who will take
the lead i’m looking for somebody who
will say not my marriage not my city not
my community i’ll take the lead because
no one else will do it
[Applause]
the giant’s lying on my promise
the giant’s trying to scare me out of
position
and it is bigger than me
but it’s not bigger than me and my god
it’s not bigger than the promise
that god has ordained since before i
took my first breath
so my job then
is to surrender in such a way
that i trust the promise with so much
faith that i don’t let the visibility of
the giant take away my faith
how do we get to this place where the
anointing takes the lead
when we find
david in this text he’s finally at that
place and he’s only there because the
giant has appeared some of you will not
get in position until the giant appears
that’s why the giant is in your life you
want to wait until you’re comfortable
you want to wait until you’re confident
and i hear god saying no what you really
need to feel is a threat against that
anointing because if you feel a threat
against that anointing it’ll change the
way you pray for that child if you feel
a threat against that anointing it’ll
change the way you cover that city the
threat is over the anointing it is not
over you you didn’t do anything that big
and bad that somebody’s worried about
you it’s about the anointing connected
to your name it is about the people that
only you can save it is about the people
who will only listen to you you are
anointed to go into places where they
will never come here but you were here
because there is an assignment over your
name and if you don’t do it it cannot be
done i’m trying to let somebody know
that it’s time for us to take this city
for real it’s time for us to change the
world for real and we’re not going to do
it because don cherie did it because
rich did it because sarah jakes roberts
did it it’s only going to happen because
you finally decide to take the lead that
what’s happening in you starts coming
out of you and it starts shaking up
don’t be surprised when it starts
shaking up things in your world because
you’re not the same quiet person you
used to be but you’re walking with a
different level of authority and a
different level of faith some people
prefer you when you’re afraid of the
same giants they’re afraid of but there
are some people who will be inspired
that you got up anyway that you said my
five smooth zones are enough i’m talking
about the next generation that’s
watching i’m talking about the
generation ahead of you that said if
they could do it maybe i’m not too old
to do it what’s up boo y’all just came
to party or did y’all come to change the
world y’all just came to look good or
did y’all come to take territory i don’t
know about you but it’s been too long
and i’ve watched fear take the lead for
too long and i want to talk to an
uncircumcised philistine and say do you
know who my god is do you know that i
went through hell and came out on the
other side with worship do you know that
the enemy already took its best shot at
me
[Applause]
and i’m still here
still breathing
still ready to go to war
still ready to declare the works of the
lord i still believe in miracle signs
and wonders i still believe he’s a chain
breaker i still believe that he can heal
the sick i still believe that every knee
shall bow and every tongue shall confess
you want to talk about coven i want to
talk about the name that is above all
names it’s bigger than depression it’s
bigger than suicide do you know who my
god is
who’s going to take the lead
[Applause]
[Applause]
if you don’t do it
it won’t get done
if you don’t forgive
if you don’t write the book
if you don’t build the business if you
don’t serve
the problem with social media is that we
see so many other people doing the thing
that we think we should be doing so we
think it’s done
what if i told you they just got it
started
but it’s going to take all of us to
finish it
what if i told you that you don’t have
to have the skill set you don’t have to
have the education you don’t even have
to have the armor all you need is the
anointing
the anointing of god will destroy the
yoke
david understands his assignment
and he understands that he has been
preparing for this moment
his entire life and he doesn’t need
anyone else to believe in him to do it
there’s a desperation
because he’s been so full of the spirit
by now
that what he wants more than anything is
to release it into the earth
you see the truth is that whether
intentionally or unintentionally
we’re all releasing something into the
earth
some of us we open our mouth and we
release our doubt
we release our fear
we release our insecurity
but i heard god say when i was praying
that there’s another transition taking
place in the earth
and for the last few years fear has been
taken the lead
restlessness weary
despair
has been taking the lead i’m not talking
about in the news i’m talking about in
your soul
god disappointment
it’s been taken the lead
and i heard god say that something
miraculous could happen this weekend
if we got in a room that was anointed
that it would begin to go to war with
whatever has been taking the lead over
that anointing
what happens with david is so powerful
that it changes the whole tone of israel
israel that was so afraid of the
philistines israel that knew for sure
they were defeated one person took the
lead
and it changed a nation
we’re gathered in this room today
i felt like god was telling me
that some of you have lost your fire i’m
almost done i’m going to pray
that some of you have lost your fire
that some of you don’t see yourself as
anointed as you once were
or maybe you don’t feel anointed at all
and i want you to understand that the
anointing that god gave you
was deposited into your life
long before doubt jeremiah 1 5 it says
before i formed you in your mother’s
womb i knew you
before i formed you in your mother’s
womb we were one
you were anointed before you took your
first breath
you were anointed before they hurt you
you were anointed after they left
you were anointed when you got the job
and anointed when you filed bankruptcy
life has this way of making us feel that
some kind of way i can lose the
anointing no you lose focus on the
anointing
and when you lose focus on the anointing
you lose strategy that allows you to
bring out the anointing
but this weekend we have gathered so
that you can get your focus back
on what really matters
so that you can get your hope back and
feel equipped again
to not just have a great conference and
come back next year but to be a
conference next year to not just shake
things up for a little while but to
shake things up in a way that the
generations feel it i’m not talking
about a game i’m talking about what
jesus came to do in the earth he said if
you do this right if you wait for my
spirit my spirit will get in you and it
will give you power it will give you
power to go into places you’ve never
been it’ll give you power to speak words
that you never thought you could say the
power of god is falling again but it’s
not just going to fall on the people who
sit back and wait for it to come to them
the power of god is going to fall on
those who are chasing after it over
those who are running after it over
those who understand god if you give it
to me i’m going to make sure your will
not my will be done god i know it’s not
your will for me to feel this way
forever i know it’s not your will for
this generational curse to rip up my
family so god if you give me power i’ll
destroy it god if you give me power i’ll
make sure you get the glory god if you
give me power i’ll find my goliath and
i’ll fight it with everything that’s in
me god if you give me power i’ll give
you a breakthrough god if you give me
power i’ll give you my slingshot god if
you give me power i’ll change the
industry i’ll write the book i’ll sing
the songs i stay in the marriage i pray
for the hearts god if you give me power
i’ll kick down every barrier because at
the end of the day i want this earth to
see you still move mountains i want the
earth to see you still do miracles cause
you did it through me i once was lost
but now i’m found i once was blind but
now i see
i see
i see now that it’ll only happen through
me
so god let it be me
[Music]
god let it be me
and let it be the person beside me
and let it be the person in front of me
and behind me
god make us an army
[Music]
god the world needs to know that there
is good news
that you don’t have to put yourself on
clearance that lust doesn’t have to have
the final say
that you can still be restored that the
abortion can be erased that you can
still walk around with your head held
high yes you who got molested yes you
with the abandonment issues yes you with
the domestic violence i hear god saying
i can make it like it never happened but
you gotta let the anointing take the
lead i can make it like they never left
but you gotta let the anointing take the
lead i can take your mourning and turn
it into joy but you gotta let the
anointing take the lead i need somebody
to stop falling around what happened
yesterday and start following what god
wants to do today what do you want to do
with my life today what do you want to
do with my gift today i’m not worried
about yesterday i can’t bring it back
but god if you give me one more breath i
want it to be a reflection of your glory
glory glory
glory glory glory
glory glory glory
glory glory
glory glory glory
[Music]
glory restore my hunger for glory
restore my heart that longs for glory
somebody’s just
been walking around looking for
confirmation that
everyone’s going to disappoint you
i hear god saying you’re hungry for
disappointment
you’re hungry for rejection and it’s
been taking the lead for too long
but tonight
we’re going to change your appetite and
no longer will i hunger for that which
hurts me but i will only hunger for that
which heals me i want to prophesy if
that’s okay in this room that there’s a
new level of hunger coming to you that
there’s a new level at first coming to
you i want to search for righteousness
for real i want to change the world on
some world changing stuff for real i
want to show a generation that it’s
better than what you see

so spirit of the living god
alive in this moment
alive when david was going to war that
same god
that took a little boy who tended to
sheep
can take a little girl who grew up in
west virginia
who thought she would never minister
anything because of her broken past
and would allow her to stand before
these your great people god the
foolishness
that you choose to do
god there’s a few more foolish souls in
this room
and god we’re hungry for some more
wisdom
on how we can take our ruins and turn
them into glory so open the windows of
heaven and over the next few days
pour out your glory
pour out your presents and don’t just do
it in the arena every time they lift
their hands may glory fall in their home
may glory fall like they drive make
glory fall in their parents home may
glory fall over their children because
it’s not just slim in their room there’s
a nation inside of them and god i
prophesied to that nation come forth in
the name of jesus i prophesy to that
nation bring forth fruit in the name of
jesus and let it be good fruit and let
it be everlasting fruit and let it be
the kind of fruit
let it be the kind of fruit
that makes the world hungry
for you to take the lead
your kingdom come
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven your kingdom
come
your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven your kingdom come your will be
done on earth as it is in heaven in
jesus name i pray let’s go up miami
