Genesis chapter 32 it’s not unfamiliar
beginning at verse 22 as a story of
Jacob Alleluia in his moment of becoming
in his moment of becoming I’ll Olivia it
says and and he Jacob arose that night
and took his two wives I’ll explain
later
somebody said holiday not uh that was by
mistake okay
you got to study the whole thing right
and he rose that night and took his two
wives his two female servants somebody’s
a glutton no kidding and his eleven sons
and crossed over the Ford of G Bock he
took them sent them over the brook and
sent over what he had then Jacob was
left alone and a man wrestled with him
until the breaking of day this man was
God verse 25 it says now when he saw
when the man saw when God saw that God
did not prevail against Jacob their
wrestling and Jacob is winning and so
God sees that he was not prevailing
against him and God touched the socket
of his hip Jacob’s hip and the socket of
Jacob’s hip was out of joint as he
wrestled with him and he said God said
let me go for the day breaks he said
you’re not serious about this you don’t
really want this you don’t want to be my
friend
God says let me go stop playing you
don’t you don’t really want to do what
it takes to lay hold of everything I
have for you you still playing games and
God says I’m a businessman
hey his business is the kingdom but God
says I’m a businessman I love you but
I’m not gonna play games with you only
holler at me if you’re ready for real my
mercy and my grace will be there you got
that all day baby you got my love you
got my mercy you got my grace you got
that all day but but but if you really
want to be a kingdom soldier if you
really want to be my friend if you
really want to walk in fullness and in
victory and then power if you really
want to be the head and not the tail if
you really want to live in such a way
that every place that the sole of your
feet shall tread up then you can’t play
with me so God says let me go do not
quite that way but but he says let me go
and then Jacob says I will not let you
go unless you bless me move right answer
verse 27 he so he God said to him Jacob
he says what is your name and he said
Jacob there’s a lot to that because well
let me keep reading it now I didn’t want
to preach as I read because I want to
get you seated but I’ll just tell you
really quickly he asked him his name and
Jacob had a history of being a slickster
and pretending and faking and shaking
and God says if we’re gonna do business
you got to be real with me
what’s your name for real
not your the ideal version of you I need
the real version who tell me the truth I
know already anyway I just need for us
to have a certain level of agreement
before we can start moving in the things
that I want to allow you to move in he
said what is your name and Jacob said
all right you got me Jacob which
literally means supplanter shyster
slickster right he was named and defined
by his issues his struggle and in verse
28 and he God said your name shall no
longer be called Jacob but Israel he
says for you have struggled with God and
with men and have prevailed that’s some
of you in here right now
in the year of becoming you you
struggled through some stuff but the
fact that you’re standing here tonight
December 31st 2018 halleluiah is a
testimony that you prevail Oh God God
put you through some stuff and man put
you through some stuff but you wiggled
your way we’re not gonna even play with
that he said your name shall no longer
be called Jacob but Israel for you have
struggled with God and with men and have
prevailed then Jacob asked saying tell
me your name I pray and he said why is
it that you asked my name that was kind
of interesting that jumped out at me and
God is basically saying You Know Who I
am why are you playing why are you
pretending to not know what you know I
almost want to unpack that but we got to
get through this what why are you see
this is 2019 is the year perspective and
what God is doing is he’s like listen I
need you to stop pretending like you’re
not who you’re not I need you to look at
everything that you’re dealing with all
your decisions and everything stop
looking at them through the lens of a
lesser version of you this is
year of perm I feel the Spirit of God in
this house this is the year of
perspectives every time you move it’s
gonna be according to our every time you
open your mouth is gonna be according to
who you are every contract every deal
won’t be side unless him
if you are gonna live a life with
[Music]
stop playing
okay
you gonna flow differently this year I’m
almost done
you you gonna flow differently you gonna
flow differently God is shifting your
perspective he’s shifting your
perspective that’s what he did with
Jacob he says you’ve been caught he says
you shall no longer be called in other
words you’re not gonna call you Jacob no
more you gonna call you Israel you gonna
call you by the name that I called you
you’re not a slickster I know you do
slick things but my DNA is in you some
of you getting ready to break out of
false identities you’re gonna make up
your mind once and for all
you are who got
[Music]
once and for all no more vacillating
back and forth I’m powerful in God who
I’m we just trying to get by I’m strong
and God Oh somebody give me a sandwich
the devil is a liar I am who God says I
am by the grace of God I am Who I am I
will no longer shriek I will no longer
backup
20:19 it’s gonna be in here focus it
still being here fire one last passage
Isaiah 43 and verse 1 this one verse one
verse but now thus says the Lord who
created you O Jacob and he who formed
you O Israel I’ve called you by your
name you’re mine now
if you graze over that you will think
that he’s talking to two different
people talking to one person so God is
saying I both create and I form so that
what I have created will ultimately look
like what was in my head before I
started are you tracking with me
2018 you can sit down if you want to
2018 every year I’ve been graced to give
a prophetic word about the year not
because I’m special but because I
believe as we all should walk in what
many call the Issyk our anointing they
were one of the tribes and it says this
about the tribe says a few things but
one of the things this tribe is known
for is that they had an understanding of
times and seasons and what Israel ought
to do with the people of God ought to do
so every year I pray and I say God what
what sort of word about the season of
the new year are you releasing in and if
you’ve been around for a while you’ve
heard several the year of alignment was
a couple of years ago and and and God
was bringing things into a lime and an
alignment season is difficult because it
seems all cue
and fluffy oh I’m getting into alignment
but but to get into alignment means that
things that are not in alignment have to
break off so 2017 was a year of
alignment and it was probably one of the
most difficult years but you got some
things in order and then you stepped in
the 2018 and 2018 was a year becoming
and what’s kind of tricky what’s tricky
about alignment is that you think that
the moment that you are relying you
start to take off and prosper and grow
and blow up and all that kind of stuff
no no alignment is just positioning you
it’s just a positioning you still have
to become it’s like Psalm 1 uu Psalm 1
in 3 we love that it says blessed is the
man that walks not in the counsel of the
ungodly nor stands and then well here’s
one the verse we love verse 1 and 3 it
says he shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water that brings forth
its fruit in his season is leaf will not
wither and whatsoever he does so prosper
we like that but there is the sequence
to get to there and it starts off by
saying blessed is the man who walks not
in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands
in the path of the sinners nor sits him
to see the score for his delight in law
Lord you know it so there is an
alignment that must take place to get
you in a position to grow to evolve and
ultimately to become and so 2018 is a
year of becoming it’s a year becoming
things have been happening a becoming
process is hard that’s the difference
between being created and being formed
the Hebrew word that was translated form
when he says that that I formed you O
Israel literally beings to squeeze into
form and has the idea of a Potter with
clay on its will and so that the season
of becoming is challenging and it’s
tricky because all of your stuff shows
up hey and so I don’t have a ton of time
because we’re gonna launch this thing
right into they know you’re in matter of
fact I’m just gonna talk to you I can’t
do that enough time to do that I’m just
gonna talk to you so so I like Jacobs
story
there are several stories in the
scripture about people becoming about
them going about them going from God
creating them to God forming them and
that’s your destiny to be honest with
you God created you and that is
wonderful but he is yet for
you and becoming I’ll be honest with you
becoming is not necessarily a one-stop
shop where we never really arrived as it
relates to becoming but there are
critical and pivotal moments where you
begin to take shape
in such a way that your life will never
be the same again oh god I feel it when
you go from trying to figure out who you
are to trusting and knowing who you are
and beginning to reflect the glory of
who you are in such a way that nothing
can stand before you oh let me say that
again
see you you cannot project what you
don’t perceive in other words you can’t
even project the glory of who you truly
are until you believe who you are until
your perspective changes are you
tracking with me that’s why you come
around some people and they they
gorgeous and all this kind of stuff but
they’re emitting ugly because their
perspective about themselves is such and
I believe that we’re moving into a
season where God’s people are gonna get
a revelation about who they are and
they’re gonna start walking in places
and they’re gonna start shining with the
manifest presence and the manifest glory
of God because listen the greatest glory
that rests on your life is the person
that got formed I got I gotta say this
right I gotta say this is right but
there is when when God finishes forming
you and you have this encounter with God
where you recognize oh that’s why I went
through that oh snap that’s why that had
to happen oh this okay I get it now and
you stop blaming God and you stop being
mad at God and you realize that the
difficulty that you went through was
part of the shaping and the becoming
process you didn’t know what was going
on because you were dizzy by the fact
that you were on the potter’s wheel but
God was shaping you
molding you into something that would
ultimately be unbreakable and unshakable
and would shine and it would blind every
devil and demon and hinders and obstacle
I feel God you gonna shine so bright
that nothing negative will be able to
stick to you if it’s not Jesus it’s
gonna flee I feel that thing right there
and that same light is gonna attract
every miracle their miracles assigned to
the real you
there’s favor assigned to the real you
all of creation is out there waiting for
you to be the real you the real you is
get ready to shake up your workplace to
shake up your industry I’ll fill it
[Applause]
[Music]
and what you cannot do is disqualify
yourself because of the colorful dynamic
of your background see the reason why I
chose Jacob to illustrate this point the
reason why I told you chose I chose
Jacob is because Jacob had a very
colorful background hey he had a very
colorful background
I mean drama from birth you gotta study
this incredible just drama from birth
he’s he’s a twin and he’s he’s sliding
into first position he was a manipulator
his twin brother Esau was hungry one day
and he came out of the field working he
was hungry like oh I’m so hungry and
Jacob said how hungry he saw said I’m
hungry I’ll do anything for some food
anything and and Jacob ends up swindling
you got his studies it’s craziest drama
I’ll tell you you can just put Netflix
on sleep and just read about Jacob and
and he he weasels the man’s birthright
from him it’s crazy and if that was not
enough when it was time for their father
is Isaac to bless him Isaac says bring
he saw in there cuz there was a little
bit of family drama he he favored Esau
over Jacob but Rachel favored Jacob over
Esau he said I’m getting ready to bless
my first buck my firstborn Esau bring
him in her to me and Rachel hears about
Anna Rachel slides
Jacob Oh tricky self up in there and he
ends up robbing him of the blessings you
got to study too much story to tell his
life is marked by shiki Nuri he has a
colorful background he’s got 13 kids by
four different women
he’s got two wives but only signed up
for one he is slicking people his uncle
LaVon slicked him and he turned around
and slicked him back colorful background
but I learned something about God why
would God use to be ultimately the
father of the tribes of Israel the tribe
through which the Messiah who were
redeemed the world would come why would
he use somebody with such a colorful
background I mean just scandalous are
you tracking with me and I’m learning
something about this becoming process it
takes a little bit of joy a little bit
of pain a little bit of holiness a
little bit of X freak can I say that I’m
in LA I couldn’t say it in Denver I say
it here it oh you don’t like don’t you
sit over there and you know why I say a
little bit of X freak because an X freak
is thankful for the mercy of God come on
somebody that if it had not been for the
Grace and the goodness and the mercy of
Jesus I would have died in my freaking
[Applause]
you don’t like it you don’t like it
that’s alright
[Applause]
somebody I got real quiet so just I’m
learning I’m learning I’m learning that
to truly become it takes all of that the
stuff that you count yourself out about
it it takes that in this encounter with
God Jacob as he’s wrestling with God his
perspective is changing the whole thing
was to get him to the perspective about
who he was his perspective is changing
his perspective first of all about
himself is changing
I believe that Jacob you know it’s funny
I did a little study on what happened
you know when it says that he touched
his hip
well it wasn’t necessarily his hip like
hip like you think could you think hip
and you put your hands and you think
that that’s not where he touched you
know the story in the story they’re
wrestling and the Bible says that Jacob
essentially is winning but the only
problem is he’s wrestling with God
you’re supposed to let God win if you’re
winning a fight with God you’re really
not winning are you tracking with me and
so they’re wrestling and Jacob is
prevailing over God which is not God’s
problem is Jacob’s problem and God loves
Jacob too much to let him win because
there’s destiny on his life I feel God
this is some of you I just want to say
it real quick like I see it the reason
why you haven’t won like you’ve been
wanting to win is because there’s too
much destiny on your life and God is
saying no I’m I’m gonna slow you down
imma imma hold you back because I’ve got
too much investment in you and if you
come up the way you want to come up I’ll
never get you back who in the world in
my talk
– you will not 2018 it’s gonna be my
year but God said no it’s not gonna be
you here because you’re trying to have
it your way and if you have it your way
you’ll miss your way are you tracking
with me so so God reaches it oh my god I
got to keep moving so god reaches in and
he touches he touched his Jacobs hip
right and the battle shifts he touches
his hip but it really ain’t is him study
in Hebrew he reaches in and the Bible
says that he touches truthfully his
inner thigh mm-hmm
is inner thigh and you know what’s close
to your inner thigh if you’re a man
hello somebody don’t stop that tonight
now sensitive and stuff I want you to
get this because if you keep if you give
in to that Hebrew word and you keep
breaking it down it literally means his
generative parts generate produce so he
grabbed him by that’s why I was like oh
I need you to bless me now
I won’t let you go until you fix this
study it he grabs him okay y’all too
serious okay he grabs him watch this and
he disables his ability to produce for
himself oh I feel the Holy Spirit in
order to save his life to say because
because he had tribes in him he had a
nation in him he had us in him and he
had the tuchas inner thigh he had to
grab him by the inner thigh up high
and Jacob had to learn C because Jacob
was so talented I feel the Lord because
he was so talented and because he knew
how to navigate things in weasel his way
in and out of things he learned to trust
in himself and not God I feel that you
know there’s some kings in the scripture
who lost everything and not all of them
had scandalous lives there were a few of
them that made only one mistake and that
was they stopped trusting in the Lord
God had brought them to certain places
he had given them position he had given
them promise and they just stopped trust
the worst thing you could ever do is
stop trusting in the Lord and so he
learned in that moment not to rely upon
himself and then I also think he learned
in that moment to be worthy see there’s
some people in here right now and and
and I’m a prophesy all night and we’re
gonna pray and we don’t party in just a
few minutes but the reality of it is
words from God just bounce right off you
and they bounce right off you because in
the recesses of your psyche you don’t
feel worthy of the high level things
that God is speaking I feel God so much
so that when good things come you
sabotage them not you somebody you might
know but see see unworthiness is a huge
problem because it will show up you will
begin to do weird stuff I don’t know
where just sabotage it have the best
thing going but somehow when the
recesses of your mind you’re thinking
this is not gonna last this always
happens to me and if you dig into it and
if you dig down into deep enough there’s
a spirit of unworthiness somewhere jasa
fat jacob had that right before this
he’s praying to God he says God I’m not
worthy of the least of your mercies and
I believe for some of you as you step
into this new year you
have to shake that off it’s not because
you’re so good it’s not because you’re
so righteous God says I’ll have mercy on
who I have mercy on so he learned his
things about himself I want to just move
through this because we’re going to pray
in a moment but then I also think he
learned some things about God I think he
learned that that God is not this
sensitive emotional pout when you mess
up if you’re not clean don’t touch me I
think he learned that God was real and
the reason why I know when I say God is
real I mean God deals in real things God
deals and colorful things I know we
don’t like that but with the exception
of Jesus just about everybody he used in
the Bible had a colorful background Paul
colorful he killed Christians colorful
Rahab the harlot colorful tax collectors
and publicans colorful come on somebody
bit 100 the woman caught in the act of
adultery colorful Mary Magdalena the
Freak the x-rated colorful y’all don’t
like it but it’s true even got cherry
picked all the people I need this is
very Jim right here any time not to my
Mary I need this already you know cuz
he’s one time and that was it but not
about the people that he got mileage out
of colorful Peter cussing and cutting
off ears and and butt-naked jumping in
the ocean colorful colorful and even
even isn’t it interesting that God would
use for the sign of a covenant of mercy
a rainbow
colorful you think I’m joking Jacob even
gives his favorite son Joseph when he’s
early on a coat of many colors let’s all
say it together so the more I like that
the more your life the more you can use
you are you tracking with me
watch this even Jesus became colorful oh
you don’t like that you don’t oh
religious people like all you have done
did it now first it took my ball
grabbing and all this and that and now
this is just too much now you say Jesus
was colorful no I didn’t say that I said
Jesus became colorful for God made him
who had no sin to become sin so that we
might become the righteousness of God in
him God’s gonna use your color he’s
gonna use your background he’s gonna use
her disappointment he’s gonna use your
setback he’s gonna use the thing to
church I feel God he’s gonna use
everything because he wastes nothing he
brought you out so that you can bring
others out that’s why God said to Jacob
boy what is your name don’t come over
you’re faking like you’ve never done
anything no come over here faking like
like you’ve always sought me first what
is your name and he says Jacob
the colorful Boy Wonder
I’m Jacob I’m trying to do better that’s
why I’m here that’s why we’re wrestling
because I’m trying to get in my life
because there’s something on the inside
of me that knows that I can’t go on like
this I’ve made a mess of my life my
brother is seeking to kill me I’m trying
to make amends with my brother but it’s
crazy there’s so much going on
Esau was looking for me I’ve just messed
up in my life and I heard about the god
of my father the God of Abraham and the
god of Isaac and just maybe just maybe
if I get in front of you and I bear all
you bless me and he did and it was all
to get to a perspective it was all to
get Jacob to this moment of becoming
where he would no longer call himself
Jacob but from that moment forward he
would be Israel that’s where you’re at I
really believe that God’s gonna speak
some things to you I believe with all my
heart and he’s gonna call you by your
real name but I want you to be honest
see Jacob he named the place that he had
this encounter it completely shocked him
he thought he was unworthy and God
blessed them and and brought him into
his inheritance right he had his moment
of becoming and he names the place
Peniel
and he says that I’ve seen God face to
face and I didn’t die I seen God face to
face and I I survived I think the last
the last moment of becoming for you
tonight I believe that many of you gonna
step into some God’s gonna show you
something I believe he’s gonna change
your name and he’s gonna change your
perspective tonight we’re gonna pray for
you I think it’s gonna happen
and when it happens hear me we’re gonna
pray in a second when it happens you’re
gonna have to fight to maintain that
perspective that’s why this is the year
perspective I would take the first month
of the year maybe even the first quarter
of the year in all the words that God
speaks to me and all the things that God
says to me I would rehearse and
regurgitate and use it to fight back
against everything that would try to
present an alternative perspective of
self and perspective of God I’ll tell
you right now somebody I was on social
media today and somebody called me my
name my name from watts
yeah without right right right because
everybody not everybody but some people
will try to pitch their perspective on
you to see if you’re gonna answer I
don’t I don’t know right right right
right down in the liquor store somewhere
down I don’t you’re gonna have to guard
your perspective you have to fight
against things you’re gonna to fight
against old seasons and and old people
in old situations because because who
you are
there is a sound connected to who you
truly are
there’s a sound and if you do not hear
that sound come out of somebody’s voice
then they are not for you you can’t help
them they cannot help you because the
only person that can help me is the
person that truly sees me and if you
don’t truly see me that means you don’t
have perspective of me and I love you
but I can’t rock with you because we
can’t get together and make a baby
because I’m only putting out holy babies
are you tracking with me
I’m only pushing out holy babies if you
don’t see me right and I don’t see you
right what can we produce so here’s what
I want to do if you’re here tonight and
you say pastor I want to be real with
God I want to see God face to face
that’s interesting I want to see God
face to face a true encounter with God
an encounter of surrender is a
face-to-face encounter it’s not just God
looking at you he’s always looking at
you right his face is always towards you
a face-to-face encounters when you
finally stop think on your ways and turn
your feet to his testimonies as David
said so having the face to face with God
the onus is not on God the onus is on
you being willing to show God to look
you know people
they don’t look you and I you don’t talk
about you I can’t not it just drives me
crazy I won’t do business with you I may
not even pray for you it’d be a quick
prayer look me in the eye
show me who you are what’s your name if
you’re here and you want to look God
face to face and you want to be real
with God and you don’t want to step in
the 2019 faking and shakin but you want
to step into 2019 knowing that you’ve
had a true face to face with God right
here at this altar we’re going to pray
for you gonna have a moment with God and
I believe that as you’re real with God
and tell him who you’ve been he’s gonna
tell you who you truly are and where
you’re headed if that’s you I want you
to come and meet me at the altar
everyone else stand if you would that’s
you I want you to come meet me at the
altar what better way to cross over into
2019 then at the altar having a
face-to-face with God come on come on
the countdown has started come on
hallelujah
midnight at the altar stepping in the
20:19 with a face to face with a face to
face I’m Jacob I’m Jacob I’m ray-ray
whatever I’m baby I’m boo-boo whatever
because I’m not gonna be Jacob anymore
we almost there come on make your way
there I want you to be here get as close
as you can it’s about to be midnight
it’s about to be midnight right here at
the altar powerful things in the
scripture happened at midnight I believe
you’re about to experience something
here we go here we go nah hey seven six
five four
[Music]
some misshapen
we’re having a face-to-face with God
hallelujah we’re coming into the new
year
on our face we’re coming into the new
year in his presence in his quartz
family let me tell you my story I know
if you’ve been here for any length of
time you heard it before
but this was in 2000 and I was Jacob man
I was Jacob
I knew the promises of my father but
quite frankly I didn’t know I didn’t
know what living out the life that I was
called to look like I didn’t know it so
I was kind of like I was in this pickle
because I believe in God I had that part
worked out but because I was talented
and gifted and skilled I was producing
out of my own strength are you tracking
with me because that’s all I knew how to
do and I knew how to succeed in my own
way right and God just did it man I was
at a moment a season in my life where I
was prospering outside but inside I just
there’s a timing thing in that story
he sends people away and he finds
himself alone but it doesn’t even really
say that that he created that alone time
it just was time and and God starts
wrestling with him and that’s what’s
been happening in the hearts of some of
you God gods he’s wrestling not because
he’s trying to hurt you but it’s your
time it’s time for your name to change
the world needs your name to change
right
and it wasn’t even that Jacob was a bad
name that wasn’t necessarily it but it
wasn’t his divine name Jacob was
successful you study it is crazy he was
very rich at that moment he got richer
but he was very rich at that moment he
was successful his rich had two wives by
mistake it’s a long story but his inside
started catching up to her and God says
it’s time I need you so for me I was
Jacob and so I went on this to search
right it was about seven months I’m
struggling back and forth I’m gonna get
it together imma get it together I’m
gonna do right and then do wrong you’ve
been there before Paul said it was kind
of like the good that I want to do I
don’t do and the thing that I’m trying
not to do that’s the thing I do that was
me
for seven months back and forth back and
forth and then I had this penny old
moment and it was just like this for me
in the seventh month number of
completion when God said enough is
enough a just man falls seven times and
then rises up again that means that
there is a perfect moment for a radical
change that’s what it was like for me
right
and so God was in that moment in that
seventh month he said you sought me and
now you found me and he takes me back
over my life and he shows me how it
wasn’t because I was so smart he says
lookie here
right there it could have all crumble
right there look at here he made this
deal it could have all come down right
there
look at that look you see that oh you
was a little careless man over there I
could have come back and bite you he
showed me that it wasn’t me that it was
him all along
Oh
protected me and guide me and covering
me and keeping me and somehow in my big
head I thought it was me he said let me
show you something all I had to do is
reprogram that scenario right there all
I’d like to do is rewrite that line in
your story and you would be out of here
he said you sought me and now you found
me and I am Who I am don’t ask me don’t
be like Jacob and asked me what my name
is You Know Who I am I’m the one that
was with you when you were 9 I’m the one
that was with you when you were 16
bleeding in South Central
don’t-don’t-don’t why are you asking me
what my name is you know I’ve proven
that I’m good
don’t play with me stop no he said you
sought me now you found me and he said
what are you gonna do and I remember the
only way I can describe it I just
remember the conversation we’ve got up
to that point was God speaking to me in
my ear
and if he’s speaking to me in my ear
that means that I’m not facing him that
means that I’m still facing my way
trying to decide what I’m gonna do next
that’s what some are in this room some
watch would be a live stream right now
God’s talking to you but he’s talking to
you to your ear because you haven’t
turned to him entirely as long as I’m
doing this sometimes I’ll be honest
sometimes when people are talking to me
that I don’t necessarily want to spend a
whole bunch of time with my body
languages like this and I’m hoping that
that means stop talking to me so that I
can move this way that’s when I’m
in a very good mood
but we do God like that don’t we imma
stay right here like this as long as
you’re talking good but when you require
something of me I’m be like I ain’t here
oh wait hold on I can’t and so in that
moment when he was saying you sought me
now you found me that was going in my
ear he said you you sought me now you
found me what are you gonna do and I
knew that my life needed to do something
not my mouth I knew that my life like
the totality of mine you know what I’m
trying to say like my life needed to do
something like the whole of who I am
needed to do something and I just
remember family this is how that before
me and that’s how I was and this is how
it’s gonna happen for you
I remember just turning to face the
voice that was talking to me I wasn’t
afraid to turn and I surrendered and
family let me tell you instantaneously
nobody laid hands on me instantaneously
I was baptized in the Holy Spirit of God
nobody touched me that was later I got
an impartation later but that was
between me and God it was a face to face
and I was filled with the Spirit of God
and my eyes got light
and my heart got strong and the taste
for things got taken out of my mouth
instantaneously I’m talking about things
at the taste was gone
just like that strength clarity I went
and I picked up the scriptures and where
it used to be just boring text confusing
unrealistic boring just full text all of
a sudden out of words of jumping off the
page
wisdom is coming off the pages smacking
me in the face of them like how did I
miss that it was like God wanted to
activate me it was like he turned me on
I thought I was on oh I feel the Holy
Ghost
put me on you don’t even know what
you’re asking for it was like God turned
the real meat on BAM and the whole world
looked different and stuff that was
stealing from me life and time and
energy I probably look younger now than
I did then it was like this restoration
thing came upon me and he changed my
name and I’ve been walking in that
identity ever since from faith to faith
and glory to glory and he wants to do
the same thing for you
we want to change your name so we just
want to pray for you I love you so much
happy new year I believe family that
something’s gonna happen here and you
got a fight you got to fight for your
perspective I’m telling you there that
when God gives you I think that there’s
gonna be a lot of inspiration new
inspiration as you are aligned in this
way there’s going to be fresh
inspiration and when God gives you
inspiration you’ve got to consider it a
gift
because inspiration is the seed of
innovation are you tracking with me it
is the seed Oh glory to God can i
prophesy for a minute it’s the seed see
your wholeness your wholeness is going
to be your advantage because I mean you
can just you can google this right now
the economy is on is doing something
weird right now man I love telling God’s
people this type of stuff the economy is
on the brink of doing something real
strange it’s got to be a crash I’m not
trying to scare you it’s gonna work for
you if you’re lying right
wealthy people understand that a crash
is not a bad thing that’s when you get
in and you you I wish somebody would
catch what I’m saying how do you think
Joseph got so rich it was a crash in
Egypt but God had prepared him
beforehand you are in the right place
tonight I did not think that this is
gonna happen like this Joseph the one
with the coat of many colors the son of
colorful Jacob was position
his becoming was placed to place and
placed a place and then guess what there
was a crash in Egypt but the Lord spoke
to him beforehand and he began to
position himself so that the crash did
not affect him I feel the Holy Spirit
tonight Wow
the crash did not affect him it
prospered him you got to stop playing
now because God’s people who are
listening the sons of Issachar they
understood times and seasons and God
will give you inspiration which is the
seed of innovation so that you can be
positioned to prosper when everything is
crumbling I’m seeing I’ve been noticing
the level of service in a lot of places
is dropping way low like so much so that
I won’t even do business with some
places that I’ve done business with
forever because the the service is
dropping it’s getting Wailord I’m like
what is this and people who don’t get it
who can’t rest in the promises and
insurance of God they’re freaking out
right now
and so you’re gonna start seeing
companies start being shaken up and
falling big companies companies that you
would think would never fall can I talk
to some where my real people in here
tonight that believe that God has called
you to something serious if you’re an
entrepreneur a serious entrepreneur
raise your hand
Oh God i’ma pray for you it’s your
moment it’s for the kingdom I’m not
trying to gas you up about wealth
because you can be you have all that and
be broke internally which means that
you’re poor sometimes the people you’re
you just all wish I had their money or
wish I had their life because you see
the money but wealth is balanced true
wealth is balanced
it’s not just money it’s family it’s
relationships its health its inner
wealth that’s true well don’t let nobody
tell you that are you tracking with me
wealth is balance its balance and that’s
what God wants he says above all I wish
above all things beloved I wish you
prosper and be in health as your soul
prospers
balance balance there going to be
opportunities family and God is gonna
whisper them into your ear he’s gonna
inspire you at night keep your PIN by
your bed honor honor inspiration honor
inspiration it is a gift from God I know
it doesn’t seem like anything because
it’s only a thought but everything that
is around us happened because of a
thought everything you got on right now
started as a thought are you tracking
with me if you’re making this decision
tonight say God me and you face-to-face
give him my heart to you I’m telling you
who I am I’m gonna stop playing with you
I was turned up last night I was turned
up this morning God I’m high right now
if I’m to be honest just a little bit
that’s all right I love it look now
because you got glaucoma I understand I
I understand it’s for medicinal reasons
I got you I whatever okay
but God I’m Jacob healed my glaucoma and
I won’t do I be real with him
tonight he can handle it he’s not a baby
he’s not the sensitive little brat that
we make him God was so designed oh I
just disappointed Jesus be quiet no you
didn’t why pastor because Jesus is
omniscient that means that he can’t be
disappointed he knows everything there
has to be an ignorance in order for
there to be disappointment I thought
something was going to happen but it
didn’t I’m shocked and now therefore I’m
disappointed I am pouting at you you’re
on time out God can handle color he
could handle color because he knows how
to take all that and mix it up and put
the Holy Ghost on it and stand it up and
cause it to be something beautiful for
his glory keep your pen nearby and keep
this perspective see prophecy is to
create perspective how I see now
prophecy how I see now Pro 4th how I see
4th now prophecy is to change the way
you see if you change the way you see
you change what you expect if you change
what you expect you change what you get
I can talk to y’all night
I just love you man I just want to pour
it’s been six weeks y’all miss Jim
I miss you it’s good to be back baby can
you pray you receive what I’m saying
pray this is a face-to-face moment for
all of us and this is gonna be an
incredible year God was so grateful that
you saw fit to send a word that would
open our eyes to how you see us and so
God as we turn to face you we ask that
you were to remove every distraction
every excuse every memory every
insecurity that has kept us from fully
surrendering and we humble ourselves
like never before and we say God
anything that you want to use anything
that you need us to say anything that
you want us to give it’s yours because
now what we want more than anything is
to realize that vision that you had in
mind when you created us and chose to
form us so god I ask on behalf of these
your sons and daughters represented in
this world that this would be an
awakening like never before
that our eyes would be open and that we
would see opportunities and giftings and
talents that we never saw before because
we were seeing them through the lens of
who we are and not who you called us to
be god I speak life in this room I speak
abundant life in this room god I speak
creativity in this room creativity like
never before and while we’re at it God
let’s just go ahead and break some
generational curses in this
and let’s break some generational
brokenness in this room and let’s break
some community brokenness it’s in this
room because some of the battles that
we’ve been fighting aren’t even our
battles they’re our grandfather’s
battles but by the Spirit of the Living
God I decree and declare that this
battle is with me not one person will go
forward in my family not knowing the
true love of your love that has the
ability to set us free and give us
perspective that keeps us from going
back God we receive this word let it
take root in our lives and produce fruit
like never before and may we open our
mouths and open our eyes each and every
day and speak life into our dreams if
the power of life and death is in our
tongue god changed our words until life
starts springing up like never before
and only attracts people who speak our
language because from this point and
2019 I need a team of warriors rockin
with me because there’s a battle to
fight out here and I’m the perfect one
for the job
since you give us our marching orders
and that we would unleash heaven on Heil
and 2019
I’ll say everyday because that’s what we
do when we rock it with it Savior like
you Jesus
