An America under siege. A world under strife. A people without hope. When uncertain and unpredictable events occur, we are weighed down with worry for where we’ll end up next. It’s no wonder that people have found themselves weeping, crying, and calling out to God for relief. But there’s an expiration date to your pain, for your laments will turn to laughter, you will dream again, and your captivity will be broken. No tears will be wasted, and no joy unpermitted when He turns your suffering into your salvation. Lord, guide us when we don’t know why — because you know when!
[Music]
i’m excited
i want to touch and agree before i do
anything else for those of you
who have invested into the kingdom of
god who have hooked the cables of your
faith to the power of his promise
expecting that there will be a transfer
in the spirit world wealth starts on the
inside before it shows up on the outside
healing starts on the inside before it
shows up on the outside
you start being healed in your spirit
before you’re healed in your body
and i’m praying that there’ll be a
connection and that this service will
jump start your faith
let’s pray father in the name of jesus
we thank you for your many blessings we
thank you for your kindness
we thank you for your goodness and your
peace and your power
we thank you for your strength and your
tenacity
we thank you because you’re long
suffering
because you’ll put up with us bless
every seed that’s sown and every seed
that will be sown
as people continue to log on let the
same anointing
fall on their gift as it falls on ours
we pray proactively
we bless what hadn’t even come yet we
call it done
in the name of jesus not just
historically not just contemporarily but
proactively
we pray in advance practice
down shaking together and running over
in the name of jesus we pray
somebody who loves him shout amen
[Music]
ah say amen again
i’m anxious on this sunday morning to
share the word of the lord with you i
have been on a trajectory
all through january we have been
following the plight of the hebrews
in a captivity drug down into babylon
and i want to pick up where i left off
from last sunday
and go deeper into the word of god and
if you want to join me
go to psalms 126 verse 1-6
so you can hear what the spirit of the
lord is saying to the church
occasionally while i’m ministering the
prompter will come up giving latecomers
an opportunity
to sow into the kingdom of god so that
you can step into this blessing
that god has for his people when you
have it say amen
would you stand for the reading of the
word
it is in the book of psalms 126 division
starting at the first verse concluding
of the sixth verse
that we will find the canvas on which i
will paint the text
and the truths that god has shared with
me regarding your life
let us start at verse one when the lord
turned again the captivity of zion we
were like them that dream
then was our mouth filled with laughter
and our tongue was singing then said
they among the heath of the lord
have done great things for them
the lord hath done great things for us
well we are glad
turn again our captivity oh lord as the
streams in the south
they that sow in tears
shall reap enjoy
he that goeth forth and weavething
bearing precious seed
shall check this out doubtless come
again
with rejoicing bringing
his sheaves with him
can you say amen i want to go back to
that first verse i want to read that
first verse again psalms 126
and 1. when the lord turned again the
captivity of zion we were like them that
dream i read the whole thing but i
really didn’t need it i didn’t need the
whole verse
i really want to preach on the word when
when the lord turned again the captivity
of zion
we were like them that dream when
the lord turned again the captivity of
zion
we were like them that dream
let us pray as we consider
the subject god knows
when say that with me god
knows when said again
god knows when
said again god knows
when one more time god knows
when let us pray father
thank you for the privilege on this
sunday morning that you have endowed us
with the supernatural grace
to conversate with divinity
to convocate upon the cloud of your
anointing
to have this precious moment to be
saturated with truth in such a way
that we are affected all week long
because of what we heard today
now bind every devil and every
distraction when we’re home there can be
all kinds of
distractions behind every distraction so
that we can focus in and hear
what thus saith the lord for in your
hands
are the words of eternal life
i believe you for it in jesus name
some believers say amen have a seat and
let’s
discuss this word god knows when
when i read the text amidst the
magnitude of powerful things prolific
things that stood out to me
it was the one word win that captivated
me the most
when the time capsule
when the ambiguity of it
when the uncertainty of it
when the promise of it
the lord knows when is often an
expression
like you say the lord knows when i’ll
get back to alabama
the lord knows when i’ll get back to the
story
it’s more of an expression but today i
want to use it more as a conviction
i want it to have more meaning than a
casual american colloquialism i wanted
to point to the fact that the lord knows
when
is my conviction i want to discuss an
absolute conviction with you just
something that you can really
sink your teeth into the lord knows when
his knowledge and sense of timing has
long been
a discussion of theological worth
that god knows it’s where we get
omniscience
god being all-knowing knowing everything
from the beginning
to the end that the lord knows it is
comforting
to say the lord knows when especially
when i don’t
it is important for us to understand the
lord knows when
to this to rebuke the tendency to
believe that our lives are chaotic
we turn on the television set every day
and we don’t know what in the world
we’re going to see
we don’t know what’s going to happen we
don’t know what calamity is going to
phrase
there’s a feeling of uncertainty there’s
a pensiveness that’s
inherent in our spirits right now
sitting on the edge not knowing what’s
going to happen next
to know and to remind yourself that god
is omniscient
and that god has a plan and he has a
schedule
and he has a sequence and he has a
structure gives comfort
whether he shares it with me or not
for god often knows things that he
chooses not to share
like parents all don’t always share with
the children
and children don’t always tell their
parents it is possible to have
information and not espouse the
information to you
but the lord knows when it’s like
children going on a ride and they’re in
the back seat of the car
and they keep saying to you are we there
yet
yet they are comfortable to ride on the
car in the uncertainty
of not knowing where they are in the
journey they are confident because they
know that their father or their mother
has the wheel
are we there yet i don’t know whether
we’re there yet i don’t know whether
we’re at the end of suffering i don’t
know whether we’re at the end of
sacrifice
i don’t know whether we’re coming to
harvest or not are we there yet but i do
know who holds the wheel and as long as
i know who holds the wheel
i’m not worried about where i am in the
journey because i know
before we got in the car you had a plan
you had a map
you had a strategy you had a timing and
i’m going to wait on you
jesus at one point tells his disciples
he says henceforth i call you no longer
servants but friends
for a servant knoweth not what his
master doeth
it is possible to serve god and not know
when
it is possible to be your parents child
and not know
are we there yet it is possible
to be going through a process of healing
and know it’s coming but don’t know
when but then when is also a promise
because it it
lets me know that god has a win
that whatever i’m going through i will
not always go through it that sooner
or later god has set a date and god oh
you didn’t hear
yeah i don’t think you heard the power
of what i said god has a win
he’s not making this up as he goes he’s
not just contemplating he’s not just
figuring out he’s not just responding
to your moves your attitudes and the the
attacks of the enemy and the things your
friends say about you
god is not making it up as he goes you
are not at the mercy of your detractors
your critics your haters
you are only at the mercy of the timing
of god
and god knows when from the become job
the oldest
book of the bible job says to us the
lord knows
the way that i take and when
he has tried me ah
i shall come forth this pure goal
i might not come forth today
i might not come forth tomorrow i may
not even come forth next week or next
month
but when he has tried me i
shall not i might not i hope not i wish
i shall
come far that’s pure go i know how the
story ends
i will not burn in the purification
of the fires that separate the dross
from me
forever i just don’t know how long i
have to be in the fire to get all the
things out of me
for me to be pure gold but i know when
it’s over
i shall come forth as pure gold
and every contaminant that would
contaminate my worth of value will have
burned off
in the process but not me
gold don’t burn baby
drost burns golden burn
it may melt it may become softened
but it will never burn because it’s gold
so if god allows me job says to put me
in the fire for a while
he’s only trying to burn off those
things that would weaken
my value and i shall come forth as pure
gold
now i know job is not the first book in
the chronological order of your bible
but it is the oldest
book in the bible and from the book of
job
to the last writings in the book of
revelations
there’s the consistency of understanding
take a minute and look at revelations 2
8 through 11 and the bible says and the
angel
of the church in smirner unto the angel
of the churches minor write these things
saith the first
and the last which was dead and is alive
i know that works and tribulation
and poverty but thou art rich
and i know the blasphemy of them which
say they are jews
and are not but are of the synagogue of
satan
fear none of those things which thou
shalt suffer
oh i will say that again fear none of
those things without shalt suffer behold
the devil shall cast some of you in the
prison
that you may be tried and you shall have
tribulation
this is what i love you shall have
tribulation
ten days
be thou faithful under that it’s the ten
days it gets me happy
maybe the ten days doesn’t get you happy
but the ten days gets me happy
it’s good to know that before i get in
it
god has already given me a schedule to
come out
somebody i don’t know who i’m talking to
but you’re you’re on your ninth day
god is speaking last fear none of those
things without you suffer
behold the devil should cast you in the
prison but you’re gonna be all right
you should be tried but you’re going to
survive you’re going to have tribulation
but i put it on a calendar i got a timer
on it be thou
faithful unto death and i
will give you the crown of life
so from the first book of the bible to
the last book of the bible
we see the same thing being said the
final words in revelations declare
he that has an ear let him hear
what the spirit saith unto the church he
that overcometh shall not be hurt
of the second death this is important
for us to understand
that from the very beginning to the last
god has a watch
god has a watch and a timer is on it and
it’s already set
solomon declares in ecclesiastes to
everything there is a season and
a time to every purpose under heaven if
nothing is running chaotically
everything is on schedule
everything is on schedule i said nothing
is chaotic everything
is on the schedule you you ought to
write that down everything is on
schedule it’s right
i’m right where i’m supposed to be when
i’m supposed to be going through what
i’m supposed to go through
at the time i’m supposed to go through
it because god
has a time and a season for every
purpose under heaven it’s not enough i
want to know my purpose
pastor i don’t know my purpose please
pray for me that the lord will show you
your purpose don’t worry about your
purpose
worry about your season because when you
get in your season your purpose will be
clear
and whether ever there is purpose is
going to be timing
and wherever there’s a timing there will
always be a win
somebody just typed when when when when
when when
god knows when
god knows when god knows
how god knows what when the lord turned
again
our captivity when we left off
last week we were weeping we had hug our
hearts by the willow trees
and we had wept when we remembered zion
and we learned how to live off of
memories
we were sustainable because we could
remember days that were not this tough
i was i was talking to my wife the other
day and i told her i said
uh just just late at night i said i’m a
camp running water
she’s she said what are you talking
about i said i’m a cam running water she
said
what do you mean i said i’m seven years
old i might kept running water
and i’m you think i’m here in dallas but
i may kept running water
because i was thinking about where i
came from i know how to live off of
memories
and all they had is they were drunk
shackled and chained
bleeding and ostracized and carried down
down from sweet jerusalem oh jeru
jerusalem jeru the city of
salem peace they had left the city of
peace
and gone into the plague of adversity
and not only did they leave they did not
leave up under their own auspices or on
their own accord
but they were drug and chains by the
babylonians
into captivity last glances looking back
they promised jerusalem if i forget thee
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth
that’ll be some things that you refuse
to forget
and when they came down to the near the
river of euphrates
and there they saw the willow trees and
they hung their halves
on the willow trees and they went
jesus went all of us sweep
there are times you go through a season
of mourning a season of struggle
to be transferred i’ve gone through
seasons
of weeping not not not a few minutes or
an hour
seasons of weeping seasons of women
i can remember coming into the hospital
room
with my wife going up on the elevator to
see her mother who was in the hospital
and her mother expired
and with my own two hands i closed
mother’s eyes
and i watched my wife turn into a ghost
and the room was filled with agony
and as our hearts would wreck with pain
we could not believe that somebody so
strong so vibrant so tough so full of
life
so powerful my mother-in-law was kind of
woman you either liked her you didn’t
she didn’t care which one you chose
how could she be gone
it was the first time that death had
circled in in recent years so close and
touched somebody
that was a part of our lives
and my wife was devastated
and you know if you know anything about
losing anybody close to you
that’s not the kind of thing you shake
off in a week or a month
you don’t shake that off in three months
that devastation continued and continued
and continued that i had to preach with
it we had to go to church with it and we
had
cameras in our face with it and just
when it was starting to ease up a little
bit my mother took sick
and got worse and worse and worse
and died with us holding on to her
that’s her last breath
she was gone and i
wondered how in the world could i be
anointed and used of you and seeing
people heal
in my services and you not heal my
mother i remember preaching in this very
church
going to the hospital wet and laying my
body on top of hers and praying for her
and she still died
my best friend in the world
we were closer than two peas in a tiny
pod
she died before i could get over my
mother-in-law my mother
died and then my daughter came in the
room
and told me she was pregnant and it was
a season
of weeping have you ever gone through a
season of weeping
that before you could get out of this
here comes something else
and your heart is overwhelmed and you
smile in front of people as best you can
but you go home
please please let me go home so i can go
back to being real
because i’m tired of faking the smile
and i only told you i was doing okay
cause i knew it wasn’t nothing you could
do about it anyway
and let me go back to my weepy
and we went when we left off last week
the children of israel were in a season
of
weeping and bleeding
and suffering and they hung their hearts
by the willow trees
and they wept they asked them to sing
how can you sing
the lord’s song in a strange land and
people i
people honestly want you to perform like
you haven’t been through what you’ve
been through
but there is a degree of pain that comes
so strong
that you have to shut down everything
there is something this conference you
can still function to
but there is a level of sorrow that is
so grotesque
and so obvious and so profound and so
demonstrative
that it was such a how can we sing
the lord’s song in a strange land
they hung their hearts by the willow
trees
and all we could hear was nothing
nothing but weeping
there is a cry that engulfs the soul
that holds the spirit that takes you to
a place
where you wonder will i
ever y’all don’t know what i’m talking
about
i wish i could talk to somebody who was
real with me because i get sick of
church folks sometimes
sometimes they’ll catch you in your
grief and in your season of pain
and they’re in their season of progress
and then look at a child if you just
believe
god everything will be all right if you
just walk in faith and claim
shut up
you in spring i’m in the winter shut up
you don’t have no coat on because it’s
not cold on your side of the world
but over here we’re in the season of
weeping
and they wept a long time
and they wept a long time and i had to
come back
and preach this part of it to let you
know that there
is a time after you have suffered a
while
and cried a while and been empty a while
and been playing a while
and been lonely a while and been
frustrated a while
and been without a while and to have to
be denied a while
there is a place that comes along after
you’ve been confused a while
after you’ve been in anguish for a while
after you’ve been tormented in a while
there is a wind when when
there is a time my brothers and sisters
that god just says enough
i don’t know who i’m preaching to today
but the holy ghost said enough
i don’t know who this message is for but
god said enough
you’ve been in a season of hell and high
water but the spirit just said enough is
enough
you’re coming into a wind and you’re
coming into a release
and you’re coming into a breakthrough if
you think that i
might be preaching to you give him a
crazy praise
right now
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
type it that’s for me that’s for me
that’s for me i claim it for mine
i reach up and grab it god just said it
now
[Music]
when god said enough i
checked it on my watch and i saw that
god had a time
to bring me out of my weeping
god has a time already set aside
didn’t you hear the bell ring
did you did you not hear that alarm go
off
did you not hear that weeping may endure
for at night but joy comes being
in the morning do you not know
that god has a win
god had a point in their suffering
in babylonian captivity that god said
that’s enough
i’ll let you be drug out of your own
land i’ll let you be drugged down and
shackled like animals i let your men be
castrated and your men be red your women
be raped
and i’ll let you weep by the willow
trees and i did nothing to stop it
but i did keep my eye on the watch
and when the lord
turned to can our captivity the writer
here when he writes about
the lord turning our captivity he does
not have access to
all the things that god had to do to
turn their
captivity around the fall of babylon
denotes
the end of the neo-babylonian empire
i did it was conquered by archaemania
by the archamidian empire it was
it was conquered wait wait i want you to
see this
the people who conquered jerusalem
got conquered
see the the the archimedeans were
persians they were nomadic
persons that after 70 years
of babylonian captivity they came in
and conquered the conquerors
see sometimes god’s got you on hold
because he’s getting another group ready
to come in and deal with your enemies
god has a way of getting justice
out of the chaos in your life and the
babylonians were sitting around bragging
and poking fun and telling them to sing
and dance for us and while they were
playing with them
god was raising up the persians
to overthrow the empire in 539
bc god said
enough
and all of a sudden everything began to
change
and god used a young man who was the son
of a princess to come in the young man
was
lebasha marbuk
and he comes in and god uses him to
wreak havoc
and the babylonians who thought they
couldn’t be brought down
god brought down listen america
be very careful
the babylonian empire came down the
roman
empire came down the kushite empire
came down don’t you get high-minded and
think
that we cannot come down we’ve got to be
careful what we let go on
and what we let happen in this country
because it is possible
history teaches us that kingdoms fall
nations fall empires crossed
the babylonians thought they couldn’t be
taken they thought they were bad
but the peasants came up
and they brought the whole empire down
babylon not babylon babylon’s name
goes back to the tower of babel
but god still brought them down not
babylon babylon comes out of the old
testament mesopotamia
the new word we would have would be all
right not them but
god brought them down
god can bring you
he can shut it down that’s why you got
to live
with a certain amount of humility i
don’t care how many skyscrapers should
be or
how many jets you’re on how strong your
technology
god don’t care nothing about none of
that when god gets ready to shut you
down
he shut down the whole world with a
virus we can’t even see and not one
atomic bomb did anybody any good
not one supersonic jet did anybody any
good
not ibm not xerox not google not nobody
could do anything about it
god used something we never even thought
of
a bug from a bird
shut down the planet
you don’t know what god’s gonna fight
with but i declare god’s gonna get you
out of this
oh you didn’t hear what i said i feel
like dancing right where i stand
you don’t know who god’s gonna use but
god’s gonna get you out of this
he doesn’t have to use the deacons and
the church mothers and the intercessors
and the deep
the bishops and the prayer when god gets
ready to use you
he can bring an idolatrous he can bring
a whoremonger
god has a way of using stuff that you
never even thought about
he’ll use a jawbone of an ass he’ll lose
two fish and five blood
when god says enough
he’ll use whatever he wants to use
he’ll use anybody he wants to use he’ll
touch
anybody he wants to touch he’ll use a
holly like rahab
when god says enough
he’ll let a nation that you should be
able to beat beat you
he’ll let ai conquer you even after you
conquer cata and when god gets ready to
bring
you out he’ll use anything
and all of a sudden he began to turn
everything around
babylon was someplace that they thought
would never be destroyed
babylon was strong and fierce babylon
was posted
by the rivers of the euphrates it
started out as a small port
it grew into a great empire they were
ruling
and conquering and taking over but they
messed around and they took
god’s children down into bondage and
when god
got sick of it he brought it to an end
and he stopped it
and babylon is reaping what they sowed
fred loved myself all the evildoers
and how they prosper in their own way
sooner or later
god will cause them to reap
[Music]
what they sowed you might be outnumbered
they may have more money they may have
more contacts
but when god gets ready to bring you out
he will bring you out i don’t know who
i’m preaching to but i feel like i’m
talking to somebody
if i’m talking to you just type win win
win when when
when when when when when when the lord
turned again our captivity
we would like them to dream
in one moment
the weeping turned to laughter
then with our mouth filled with laughter
and our tongue was singing
the very people who were hungry hanging
their hearts by the willow trees and
weeping when they remembered zion
are now giggling and laughing because
god
has a win i i’m telling all of you that
are suffering and all of you that are in
agony
and all of you that are secretly
suicidal and all of you that are
depressed
don’t get too used to being depressed
don’t get too used to being
down because god owns a wind and when
god says
when he will bring it to an end and the
same
lips that quivered with tears and the
same face
that cried itself to sleep and the same
person
who rolled over and over in agony and
couldn’t rest at night
god will make you burst out and start
laughing
when the light turned again our
captivity
it was like a dream
these people hadn’t been free in so long
that free didn’t seem normal
have you ever been denied something so
long that you got used to not having it
have you ever been alone so long that
you stopped being lonely
have you ever been in a crisis so long
that it became your norm
when the lord turned again our captivity
it was like a dream and the holy spirit
told me to tell you
you’re gonna dream again when i get
through bringing you out you’re gonna be
scared to believe it
it’s gonna seem like it’s somebody else
when i open up a door for you it’s gonna
blow your
mind when i set you free you’re gonna
say is that me
i don’t know what to think about it is
this my house
could this be my job could this be my
husband
is that my wife you mean you would do
that for me
god said i’m going to bless you till you
have to pinch yourself
oh get ready to pinch yourself god said
i’ll blow your mind
i’ll cause you to prosper the contracts
will close
the property will sail the door will
open
the mountain will move the yoke will be
broken
the enemy defeated when the lord
turned again when he turned
when he turned god got to turn it he did
something in heaven
and it hit the earth realm he did
something in heaven
and god raised up somebody who didn’t
even know me to deliver me when the lord
turned again our captivity
we would like them that dream it was
hard to believe
then while i’m out filled with laughter
and our tongue was singing
i want somebody to just start laughing
right now
i want you to practice your laugh i want
you to practice your
laugh i want you to practice your land
it’s not going to seem like a laugh
right now
but i want you to start practicing your
laugh because god said i’m going to make
you laugh again
you’re going to get right up in the
devil’s face and laugh you’re going to
get right up in the face of the
babylonians and go to laughing
you thought i’d never laugh again check
this out
check this out check this out cancer
leukemia
koben you thought you
had me i like to die but
god said i’m gonna fill your mouth with
laughter
and your tongue was singing and all of a
sudden i
am going to bless you so good that even
the unbelievers
are going to say the lord have done
great things for them
i’m going to bless you so good that
you’re not going to be able to hide it
i’m going to bless you so good that
unbelievers are going to be standing
there with their mouth
hanging open in shock the bible said the
heathen said
the lord have done great things for them
and they agreed with the heathen and
said the lord have done
great things for us whereof
we are glad i pray a spirit of gladness
father right now
in the name of jesus i pray a spirit of
gladness
against every spirit of heaviness and
every spirit of forlorn men
and every spirit of frustration and
every spirit of defeatism
and every spirit of agony and every
spirit of witchcraft
and every spirit of evil and every
spirit of death and every spirit of
mourning
i pray a spirit of gladness would break
out right now somebody’s gonna start
laughing in the holy ghost
you started out crying but you’re gonna
end up laughing god’s gonna give you a
belly laughter

in his soul

make a joyful lord
make a joy for no one make a joy for the
make a joy for
joy for joy for joy for joy don’t
do it enjoy it do it do it do it do it
[Music]
do that joy is how we draw waters from
the wells of salvation
why did you let the devil have your joy
it’s time to reach in there
and get your joy back reach in there and
get your smile
back reach in there and get your piece
back
reach in there and get your power back
reach in there
and get your happy place back
then with our mouth feel
with laughter and the tongue
was singing because
suddenly i got to see it
the lord i saw the end
of my suffering
i saw the end of it you’re gonna see the
end of it
you’re gonna see the end of it it’s a
tough period right now
but you’re gonna see the end of it all
of those things i listed that i suffered
i live to see the end of it i live to
see it turn around
i live to see it come out weeping may
endure for a night but joy comes in the
morning
you’re going through a season but if you
hold on
you’re going to see the end of it
the lord have done great things for us
have you thought about that lately
have you ever had to remind yourself how
blessed you were
that the lord had done great things for
us you know it’s the enemy’s job to
always show you the negative
but you got to count up the positive and
say you know what
it’s not as bad as i think it is the
lord hath
done great things for us and i’m going
to go ahead and be glad
i give you permission to be glad i give
you permission
to have joy i give you permission to get
your smile back
i give you permission to get your praise
but i give you permission
some of you have not had permission
you’ve been locked up you’ve been
shackled down you’ve been bound you’ve
been held captive
by a spirit of defeatism but i break you
loose and i give you permission right
now
i break every bond of your spirit
well we are glad
we are glad
turn again our captivity
as you near the streams in the south
turn it absolutely around until i look
schizophrenic
turn it around until they think i’ve
lost my mind
turn it around until the last time you
saw me
i was laying down crying like that and
you thought i would never get by
and when you come back in the door i’m
laughing and dancing
and shouting and praying god will turn
it around
he turned our captivity
around and then the writer says
that you can handle it
the writer reveals
that the tears
we’re never tears at all it was how god
irrigated
the seeds i sold
that not one tear was wasted
for every tear i shed
i watered a promise
and they that sow in tears
shall reap enjoy
now to all of you that i’m preaching to
who have not gone through
any dark places this is not your sunday
you can go ahead and log off
because this sunday i’m talking to
people who have been to hell and back
i’m talking to people who have dealt
with things they could say nothing about
i’m talking to people who have grown
within themselves
and i’m telling you it was not without
cause
they that soul in tears
shall shall shall
shall reap enjoy
i tell you it’s going to be
schizophrenia
you’re going to be sowing in tears and
reaping in joy you’re going to sow it in
suffering you’re going to reap it in
dancing
you’re gonna sow it in pain you’re gonna
reap it in purpose you’re gonna sow it
in agony
you’re gonna reap it in power god is
getting ready to bring us
into the fruition and you know how i
know cause all hell is breaking loose
that’s how i know it because things that
you’ve never seen before starting to
happen
because we are seeing devils being
loosed out of the pits of hell
to come against us right now the devil
wouldn’t be
fighting us if there weren’t something
on the other side of this
and i don’t know what you’re gonna do
about it but i’m gonna hold on
i’m gonna hold on it’s tough but i’m
gonna hold on
i’m tired but i’m gonna hold on i get
frustrated but i go hold on
i groan but i’m gonna hold on i cry but
i’m gonna hold on
god wouldn’t be let this happen if there
was something on the other side of this
that was so strong that hell is nervous
and demons are trembling
and satan is open up the windows of hell
and he sent out all kinds of demons to
try to discourage us
but i’m going to stand i’m going to
stand until i see a return on every
teardrop
until i see a return on every night i
stayed awake until i see a return on
every night i felt alienated and alone
they that sow in tears shall reap
in joy and then he says he that goes
forth and weepith
bearing precious seed shalt
doubtless that’s the word
doubtless he didn’t say you might come
forth with rejoicing
he said you will doubtless come again
with rejoicing look at this
you left bleeding you left weeping
you left suffering he said but when you
come back
when you come back you will be bringing
your sheaves with you
pressed down shaking together
and running over they came back
better than they left
[Applause]
and i want to share with you when god
says when
there is a place that god just speaks a
word
and he just turns it all around
i don’t know whether it’s gonna be
thursday or wednesday
i don’t know whether it’s gonna be
friday or next monday i don’t know
whether it’s gonna be
march or july god
knows when all i know
is i’m waiting on my win i’m waiting on
my win
and when the lord turns again my
captivity
i am not going to sit there like some of
you high-minded
fanciful sediti self-righteous people
and act like i have not been waiting on
this
i am going to praise him like a imbecile
i am gonna praise him like an idiot
i am going to dance like i lost my mind
i am gonna take my glasses off and shake
my head
like i’m in a rock band i’m gonna walk
the floor
and dance and praise the lord i am gonna
be a fool for the lord
because anybody who’s been through what
i’ve been through
i earned the right to make some noise i
am gonna get on your nerves i am going
to shout the shot of victory
i am going to lift my voice like a
trumpet i
am going to shout him to god i earned
the right to praise him
i earned the right to laugh all you want
to
but until you cried like me
[Music]
you can’t shout like me until you suffer
like me
you can’t rejoice like me until you’ve
grown
like me you can’t dance a victory like
me
type it right now i earned this praise
i earned this praise you can roll your
eyes all you want to
you can talk about me if you will you
can send a text out you can write a blog
but i earned this praise i earned this
blessing
i earned this car i earned this house
i earned this smile i earned this life
i earned it i earned it i earned it
because i was faithful
when i was hurting and because i held on
when i was bleeding
i ain’t gonna let nobody talk me out of
my praise
[Music]
now
no no no hell no
when god says when and now i’m not gonna
rejoice
because i’m afraid of getting on your
nurse
i want to get on your nerves i
fully plan to get on your nerves
because god
has a win for me he has a wind
he has a wind that’s got my name on it
he has a wind that’s already established
and i want every devil to know you can’t
keep me in captivity
do whatever you got to do but you can’t
keep me in captivity
not when god has a win
it might not come when i wanted it might
not come when i thought it was fair
and when it was right and it might not
happen when i did when i
thought i deserved it
but god knows where
god no sweat
god knows when so having done all the
staff
i’m gonna stand here with my loins curd
about with truth
you know i’m gonna stand because god
knows where
[Music]
as i come to the close of this message
[Music]
i want to remind you
that god knows when
[Music]
though the storms are raging and the
wind is blowing
god knows when and you think you can’t
take any more
god knows when so all you got to do in
the meantime
is stand
just
[Music]
you don’t need the answer just
seems like it’s never enough
don’t you give up now don’t you give up
seems like it’s never enough
watch the lord see you through
yes after you’ve done all you can
after you’ve done all you can do
[Music]
some folk don’t believe it and they’re
ready to give up but listen
the guilt of your past
tell me how do you deal with the shame
and how can you smile while your heart
has been broken and
[Music]
and it seems like you can’t make it
through
don’t you give up now
[Music]
you find a way to stand that’s all you
got to do
[Music]
that’s your homework
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you say i don’t know what to do i’m
telling you i’m telling you you just
stand in the middle of the storm
you stand i want to pray
[Music]
for somebody
[Music]
feels like you can’t make it i’m not
judging you because i felt like that too
i want to pray for somebody who felt
like quitting because
i felt that too i want to pray for
somebody who said where is
god now
i said that too
i want to pray for somebody whose faith
is in a crisis
because you’ve been through so much pain
you said how could he love me and let me
suffer like this
god knows when god knows how
god knows who god knows what
i want to pray for you because i know
what it’s like to have a pain that they
don’t have a pill
for to have an
ache that cannot be anesthetized
i understand what it’s like
to be in such a complex confusing
situation
that you think you’re gonna die in
babylon but he’s coming to get you
[Music]
and you’re gonna come back with your
sheaves
[Music]
and you will get through this i said you
will get through this
you will get through this
you will you will you will
come on let’s pray father in the name of
jesus
i thank you for your power
strengthen the feeble leader lift up the
bowel down head
[Music]
give courage to the person that’s about
to faint
pouring the oil in the wine on the
wounds that we have that ache late at
night in our souls
and we feel like we messed up so bad and
we lost so much time but
is there anything salvageable at all
they were in captivity 70 years
[Music]
that’s a long time
but when the lord turned again to
captivity
[Music]
it was like a dream your win is coming
i pray for you right now in the name of
jesus
that you won’t bow and you won’t break
that you’ll stand firm on the gospel of
god
when everything’s said and everything’s
done
and all the haters have hated and the
spectators have spectated
that you’ll stand up and start laughing
and tell hell i’m back
i’m back i went away for a while but i’m
back
i got my grip back i got my faith back
i got myself back
because i discovered that god
no swim if this is your word if god
spoke to you today
and you need special prayer there’s
information on the screen
to continue the ministry that you need
so that you can walk into the abundance
that god has for you our prayer warriors
are designated and anointed
to help you get the breakthrough over
the specificity of the things that
you’re agonizing about right now
if this is your word and it spoke to you
and it loose your creativity and your
innovation and you’re ready to dream
again and build again
and birth again and start a business and
write a book and open up a company and
all of a sudden you feel motivated again
so into this word that’s
my word i’m gonna sow into it
i’m gonna own it i don’t care what
nobody else does
that was my words
[Music]
that’s so into it and you laugh
right now but when i come back bringing
my sheaves
you’ll see who’s last seen
yeah you’ve been saying that for years i
don’t care how long i’ve been
god knows when and
it will come
to pass this sunday morning i bless you
i bless your feet to stand i bless your
ankles to be firm
i bless your back to be straight and
your head to be high
[Music]
what tell them what to do
[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
says
believe in himself
