Have you ever pondered why God only provides a glimpse into the forthcoming dimension, but will never give a full synopsis of what’s to come? This deliberate omission of details is intended to broaden your faith, for your next stage requires a door. And, humility is a prerequisite to access the entrance. Although you may feel uncomfortable due to the uncertainty, trust that the proverbial doors develop humility! You are a door as well. Like Jesus is to our salvation, your selflessness is the entryway to someone’s expansion (John 10:9). When you leverage your power to help elevate others, God will inevitably advance you!

I want you to get your Bibles I’m gonna

go right into the Word of God will

receive the offering at the end of the

service we’re gonna go right into the

Word of God we’re going into the book of

Acts chapter 10 I got you

we’re gonna reverse five and then verse

24 down through verse 29 of the book of

Acts and you have its Amen and now send

men to Joppa and call for one Simon

whose surname is Peter and the morrow

after they entered into Caesarea and

Cornelius waited for them and had called

together his kinsmen and his near

friends and as Peter was coming in

Cornelius met him and fell down at his

feet and worshiped him but Peter took

him up saying stand up I myself also am

a man and as he walked with him and as

he talked with them he went in and found

many that were come together and he said

unto them he know how that it is

unlawful it is an unlawful thing for

another for a man that is a Jew to keep

company or come unto one of another

nation but God have showed me that I

should not call any man common or

unclean therefore came I unto you

without gain saying as soon as I was sit

for I asked therefore what intent ye

have sent for me come back to verse 25

because I’m really gonna focus there and

then I’m going everywhere but I’m gonna

start at verse 25 and maybe even verse

26 and as Peter was coming in as Peter

was coming in as Peter was coming in

Cornelius met him and fell down at his

feet of washing him but Peter took him

up saying stand up I myself also am but

a man I want to use a subject this

morning the door of expansion

the door of expansion I’m going to say

that again the door of expansion get it

in your head get it in your heart get it

in your mind get it in your spirit get

it in your life you’re coming to a door

[Music]

you’re coming to a door of expansion a

stretching place a door of expansion

let’s pray spirit of the Living God fall

afresh on us today we come here Lord

empty before you saying fill us we come

thirsty that we might drink we come

hungry that we might eat we come

ignorant that we might learn we come

open that we might be filled we we come

here available that we might experience

we are not just sitting in the building

we are not just here with our mind

somewhere else we are present and

accounted for we come because we respect

you and we honor you and we want to hear

from you we come because we esteem your

word more than our necessary food we

come because we know how wicked we are

left without you we come because we know

how wicked our generation is around us

we come because we have enemies that

seek to destroy us we come because we

have a devil to fight we come because we

want to shield around our families we

come because we lack wisdom without you

we come because we are fools without you

we come because your direction is better

than our own open our hearts and open

our spirits that we might be filled with

the Word of God

thank you for what you’re about to do in

this place in the name of Jesus we pray

somebody shout amen

you may be seated in the presence of the

Lord on your way down I’m looking

somebody say hi

[Applause]

hi as about his country as you can have

[Applause]

especially if you put a little Texas

twang to it hi

[Applause]

the book of Acts all by itself is quite

complicated really it is it is an

expression of a man first attempt to

carry out the Mandate of God without the

physical presence of God there to steer

it it is it is the trial flight of these

new apostles as they step into

leadership and more importantly

understanding what the leader has spoken

there is a great gulf between what the

leader has spoken

and what the student understands I have

learned as a pastor that just because

you teach something one time doesn’t

mean people got it I have learned in the

process of teaching on Sunday morning

that that there are people who do not

hear what you said then there are people

who hear what they want you to have said

I’m amazed I’m so glad that I live in a

generation of social media because

sometimes they write what they got out

of the message and I can tell that I

didn’t say that you know but they you

know the Lord spoke right through you

and told me to leave my husband I didn’t

say a word about your husband I don’t

even know your husband don’t use me as

the fall guy if you’re gonna leave just

leave don’t blame the bishop people

don’t really really get it all at once

and so the Apostles are now grappling to

see how they have successfully retained

an adequate understanding of the Word of

God because you cannot teach what you do

not understand you cannot teach what you

do not understand and and and this this

book is quite quite interesting or if

they have they are now up under the

administration of the Holy Spirit the

Christ that was with them is now in them

and now the voice of surrounded them now

speech from the inside and the problem

with the voice has speaks from the

inside is that it is not the only voice

that speaks when God speaks within you

there you have to filter because there

are other voices and speak inside of you

your past your history your religious

tradition your own opinion your own

ideology and it is easy to confuse the

voice of God with your own opinion and

so the disciples are trying to learn how

to differentiate what is God and what is

me what is God and what is my teaching

what is God and what is my tradition

what is God and whatever of my personal

proclivities what is God and what is

religion and understanding the

difference between those voices is a

process to which big proper with all of

their lives and they disagree amongst

themselves and the disagreement becomes

intense and exciting I’m exhilarated to

know that they are

fought amongst themselves that gives me

some sense of comfort to know that

because I know that preachers today are

still debating texts and it’s good to

know that even those who heard Jesus

directly heard different ideas and

grumbled to understand what he said and

I understand that because he said my

thoughts are above your thoughts and my

ways are above your ways as high as the

heaven he is above the earth so are my

thoughts above your thoughts if he were

easily understood if he were easily

diagnosed he would not be God if he

could be explained he would not be God

because anything that can be explained

to be managed God can never be explained

stop trying to explain God to people

stop arguing at work trying to explain

God this is this thing about God has not

received through intellectualism God

cannot be explained

he must be experienced he must be

revealed

he must be revealed walked out in your

life and in your circumstances and

little by little he wings us from the

elementary fundamental ideologies that

started us on our way and we graduate

from faith to faith and from glory to

glory in our understanding if we are not

afraid to let go of what we once held

that’s true addition was all that was

true until they taught me multiplication

and multiplication was all that was true

until they brought up algebra and

algebra was all that was true until they

introduced me to trigonometry and every

round got higher and higher and higher

and in order to embrace the next

principle I had to be willing to move

beyond

the one that I was taught before the

moving beyond is so hard it is so hard

to move beyond when we come to the tenth

chapter of the book of Acts

after the explosion in the chapter 2

proceeding in chapter 2 we have the

invasion the inauguration I should say

not invasion the inauguration of the

Holy Spirit as it fell on the day of

Pentecost inaugurating the dispensation

of the Holy Spirit reigning over this

era of the church age and the regalia is

so powerful that it comes with wind and

sound and tongues as of Poland fire as

the Holy Spirit sits upon the throne of

authority and takes over his residence

over the early church it is so powerful

that the men who experienced not

explained experience God were accused of

being drunk drunk up under the power of

God intoxicated so drunk and so rowdy

and so noisy that it disrupted a city

and people who were doing business

stopped doing business and came to see

what wine these men were drinking it was

powerful because behind that we have

demonstrations of the Holy Spirit

healing and delivering and setting

people free delivering them from all of

their conditions we have the lay man at

the gate called beautiful when Peter and

John come up at the hour of prayer and

they by the Bible says they said look on

us and the man was healed and leaped up

on feet that didn’t work before and

started dancing and leaping and praising

God their power was so strong that their

shadows were falling on people and they

were being healed but it is possible to

have more power or Talent

did you do understanding sometimes your

gift or your talent or your anointing

will take you into places that your head

is

before I should have to think that some

of the opportunities I had early in my

ministry my ministry had brought me into

places that my experience was not

prepared for and I was in that in my

mind as I get older I’d like to do a

do-over because now I understand more

expressly what is expected of me than I

did at the time in the moment up under

the stress of having an opportunity for

which I was not ready to handle I gave

what I could but not what I should can I

get a witness somewhere now God is

dealing with their minds and dealing

with their spirits and and I am

fascinated because the tif chapter is I

have never seen a chapter in the Bible

where it is so apparent that God is

weaving lives together that he is

preparing simultaneously two different

men from two different worlds from two

different cultures from two different

ideologies one without the knowledge of

the other that he weaves their

experience together that by the time

they collide something happens it is

here that we understand the Providence

of God that God is not just getting you

ready for it

God is getting it ready for you it is

here that we appreciate that while

Abraham was walking up one side of the

hill with his son Isaac that the RAM was

walking up the other side of the hill so

that the RAM would be there by the time

that the son got there so that Abraham

would not slay his son God said Behold a

ram

tied in the thicket they must have been

climbing at the same time without each

other’s awareness and it makes me wonder

what God’s got coming up the hill for

you

sometimes you’re so engrossed with the

journey of what you’re going through in

the rocks and the ridges and the heels

of the valleys you have to climb you are

not cognizant of the fact that God’s got

a blessing coming up the same side the

other side of the mountain coming up to

meet you that when God orchestrates our

affairs it’s not just you that he’s

moving in situations and circumstances

and other people and sometimes it’s not

the problem whether you are ready or not

the problem is are they ready or not and

God has to get them ready so that when

we’re ready we all get to the same blaze

at the same time and such is the case in

the doorway of Cornelius house it all

collides in the door it all collides in

the door Cornelius this Italian

satirists interior who is a head of a

band of soldiers called the Italian man

Cornelius who is a devout and spiritual

man Cornelius who is a generous man who

has given alms all of his life and a man

of prayer and concentration a man of

discipline and a man of order but is a

Gentile man Cornelius is a man that God

has noticed and touched and moved in and

out of his life even though technically

he was without covenant not of the

Commonwealth of Israel not one of the

sons of Abraham not one that you would

traditionally think of as being a

believer as such and yet he has had an

experience with God that has warmed the

commendations of God it must be these

type of people that Jesus was speaking

of when he said other sheep have eyes

who are not of this fold them also must

I bring I want to point that out to you

because traditional Orthodox Judaism

would have considered Cornelius a dog a

dog is a biblical name for somebody who

is not of covenant it would not have

considered him eligible to receive the

kind of blessing or have the depth of

relationship that he did it makes me

wonder if there are some people that we

have maxed out that God has x10 and in

it it makes me it makes me wonder

because God says to Cornelius your

prayers have gone up before me as a

memorial and I have watched your giving

I have watched your generosity

I have watched how you took care of

others I have watched how you have given

arms I have watched how your support it

lets me know that God watches over your

giving that could be a scary thought for

somebody but just take a deep breath

breathe in breathe out it’s going to be

okay that he maybe that’s why Jesus set

by the table and was watching their

giving when the widow gave her might and

Jesus knew and took attention of what

they were giving he set by the offering

table and watch them as a game he told

Cornelius I seen your giving and I’ve

heard your prayers and now I’m getting

ready to do something awesome in your

life he does this through a vision he

shows him through a vision I’m getting

ready to do something awesome in your

life I’m getting ready to do something

amazing in your life I’m getting ready

to blow your mind

I’m not gonna give you any details I’m

not gonna go into much depth about it

but I’m getting ready to blow your mind

with what I’m about to do

your life and God is big old ideas but

he’s short on details you meant said God

is big on ideas but he’s short of

details and so he will give you an

overview but he won’t give you a

detailed synopsis Oh glory to God

because he wants you to walk by faith

and not by sight and if he explained too

much he wouldn’t need faith and so God

is not big on details he just says

something amazing is about to happen and

I I don’t know why he’s gotta be

preaching there this morning

except my sense if there are some people

in this role that every time the enemy

tried to kill and destroy you you held

on if you had to hold on by a thread

because he kept on believing that

something amazing was about to happen in

my life I can’t explain it I don’t know

where it’s coming from I don’t know who

it’s coming through I don’t want there

to be here Tuesday or Friday right but

something amazing is about to happen in

my life and God’s giving me an idea but

I’m gonna have details

[Applause]

[Music]

so I don’t think I’ll die today

I think I’ll fight death off today I

don’t think I’ll quit today even though

our arms are weary and my back is aching

and my feet are tired I don’t think I’ll

quit today because I’m taunted by

tomorrow I think something is going to

happen but I don’t know exactly I don’t

know exactly what it is

Cornelius invites all of his friends and

all of his family to come over to his

house after he comes out of this dream

and sends his servants to Joppa and

since I’m up through Caesarea and sends

them to the coast to the Tanners house

where Peter is lodging there in the

tanners house Peter doesn’t even have

his own place to stay he’s staying with

Simon the Tanner you know Simon Simon

whose house is down by the seaside

Cornelius has now sent his servants

notice Cornelius is wealthy enough to

have servants powerful enough to have a

hundred men up under him he now sends

his servants go to Joplin

fetch Peter the Lord said that he would

be at Simon the Tanners house down by

the seaside and bringing the here to me

why I don’t know what’s going to happen

I’m not sure all I know is said the Lord

told me

and now now on the other hand well the

Lord was talking to Cornelius about what

to do and who to sin for and how to sin

for them and even knew his address if I

was at home I would shout by myself

because dr. James I get happy when I

think that God knows my address he knows

where I live in whose house upstanding

he knows where to find me when other

people don’t know where to find me have

you ever had people try to find you and

they didn’t know where you were at but

God knows exactly where you’re at you

know Simon down the panner he’s over in

his house over by the seaside when God

gets ready to get you he knows exactly

where you’re at and he knows how to

reach down and sin for you and get your

attention meanwhile back home at the

ranch while God is appearing in a vision

to Cornelius he is appearing to Peter in

a dream Peter is hungry and they’re

fixing him something to eat Peter is

angry and they’re fixing him something

to eat and he goes up on the rooftop and

falls asleep and while he falls asleep

he he he falls asleep hungry he’s hungry

and he falls asleep and while he’s

hungry and he fall asleep he dreams and

like most people who fall asleep hungry

he dreams about food

what else would you dream about if you

went to bed hungry you dream about food

because he was hungry and while he was

dreaming he saw articles coming down out

of heaven all types of animals

four-footed beasts of all types and

descriptions these are beasts that that

the Old Testament would have said were

unclean they were coming down out of

heaven and they were unclean and and and

and when they came down of the voice

spoke and said rise Peter slay and eat

and he said no Lord I have never ever

eaten any of these beasts which means I

have been devoutly committed to my

teaching all of my life I have never

tasted it maybe he was vegan

I’m not thrown off for nobody I’m not

looking at nobody

he had never eaten any of these meats

and God says how dare you call what I

have cleansed uncommon or unclean I’m

still struck that the unclean beasts

came down out of heaven

[Applause]

that something that looked wrong came

from someplace right is still amazing to

me something that was forbidden by law

came down out of heaven and God said how

dare you call what I have cleansed

uncommon or unclean he did not deny that

they were unclean animals because God

cannot deny his own law when God says

something is unclean it’s unclean but if

God said it was unclean and His Word

made it unclean then his word can make

it clean it is what God says it is yeah

if it was a bitter kiss he says it’s

unclean it’s unclean but if an axe he

says it’s clean that which was unclean

is now clean and if you don’t believe in

that you don’t believe in salvation and

if you don’t believe it that’s you don’t

believe in Redemption and if you don’t

believe in that you don’t believe in

regeneration and if you don’t believe in

that you don’t believe it you

because you who were uncommon and

unclean have been cleanse at the Word of

God they have been sanctified by the

word the word has liberated you but

somebody still sees you by your old

definition and we all have to live with

people who see us by our old definition

God always let somebody survive to bring

up what you used to do to doubt the

integrity of where you are now to

question the legitimacy of your

salvation your conversion your sincerity

your marriage your life your tenacity

there’s always somebody who’s reading

old data about you no matter how much

good you do there’s always somebody

who’s reading old data on you Peter was

reading old data and he had decided that

the meats were unclean now God is using

the meat to talk to him about men

this text is not about food it’s about

bias

it’s about religious ideas it’s it’s

about disagreements and hating people

and ostracizing people because they do

not fit your traditional understanding

of who God is or what God does or what

God would like or what God would have

you know all you got to do is learn five

scriptures and you become an expert on

who God loves and who God has it and if

you learn ten scriptures you get the

keys to heaven so you can send people to

hell that disagree with you because

[Applause]

it matter how it works at that’s how

people act like it works that now you

get to say where I get to go whether I

get to go to a place that you ain’t got

yet that they’re always kind of that

just kind of boggles my mind that you

get to lock me out of some place that

you have never been kind of confuses me

[Applause]

it’s all the people who are tweeting

hewn and and said getting on your sites

and telling you you’re going to hell and

that you can’t go to heaven remember

they haven’t got there yet either

[Applause]

you can’t lock me out if you ain’t in

we can debate whatever you want to

debate we can talk about whatever we

want to talk about but we need to talk

about it as men not as if you are God

and I am man not on two different levels

no we have to talk about it like men

with mutual respect because if you don’t

humble yourself to have conversation

rather than condemnation you lift

yourself up as a god and after all do

you really know what you’re talking

about

do you really know I mean no I’m not

talking about believe do you really know

what you’re talking about

and God begins to deal with Peter and he

he’s getting Peter Remy because he’s

been talking to Cornelius and if he

doesn’t get Peter ready

then when Cornelius sends his servants

Peter would never go now let me stop you

just a minute because in my mind Peter

should be further than this Peter should

be further than see see the reason Peter

wouldn’t normally go is because he would

have to eat with the Gentiles and in my

mind Peter should be further than this

because because Jesus has demonstrated

his power in the life of Gentiles before

he has healed the Seraph remission woman

healed her daughter anyway and

acknowledge that he has not found so

great of faith in all of Israel he has

seen Jesus go outside the box and sit

down by the well and wait for the woman

from Samaria to come he has heard Jesus

preach on the good samaritan redefining

as i did last week who is your neighbor

he was there on the day of pentecost

when the bike with the Holy Ghost fell

and God said you shall receive power

after that the Holy Ghost is come upon

you and he plainly said ye shall be

witnesses unto me in Judea Samaria and

the uttermost parts of the earth you

would think that all of these classes

would have led him to a deeper

revelation of God the people don’t

change easy

you wouldn’t think that Peter would need

a dream to confirm what he had heard

Jesus say right out of his mouth but

something that has been hammered into

you deeply does not come out easily so

for fear that Peter is not prepared for

this opportunity for fears that some

hidden implicit bias might be operating

in his life that makes him reject a

moment that would change the rest of his

life for fear that Peter would miss this

door in his life for fear that Peter

would walk away from what was meant to

be a life-changing experience in his

life for fear that Peter would be hungry

for something and yet be so biased that

he would refuse to eat that’s why I took

the time to emphasize that he was hungry

sometimes we were hungry for something

and when God sends that we reject it

because our hunger is not even enough to

make us think beyond our tradition

hunger is one of the strongest cravings

in the human body but even that was not

enough to overcome bias by the time

Cornelius

servants get down to Simon the Tanners

house and go up to Joppa and come down

by the sea siding and say you have been

invited to come to Cornelius house the

only thing that makes him go to

Cornelius house is that he has had a

dream that a door is about to open

I told them but only five people got it

the only thing that made him take the

risk and goal is that he has had a dream

that a door is about to open I think

about a hundred of them got it the only

thing that made him take the risk and go

where he had never gone before is that

he had had a dream that a door is about

to open yeah I got a big crowd from over

there somebody over there has a dream

that a door is about to open you don’t

have any details but you know a door is

about toes but you don’t know wheels but

you know a door is about the head you

don’t know what this believes itself

sounds or the east side but the door is

about to open you don’t know what this

comes to this job or that job to a

friend or an enemy to a friend or an

enemy but you know that a door is about

to open because God doesn’t always use

your friends to bless you sometimes God

uses something that you would reject

what do you do when God puts your

blessing in a house whose door you would

never go in what do you do when God

sends your healing in a church that you

said you’d never come to what do you do

when God has the answer to the problem

in your marriage but you don’t like that

preacher you don’t agree with that

theology you don’t embrace that doctrine

and you don’t embrace him that dude and

yet God would put your breakthrough

behind what you might receive as enemy

lines

if he didn’t ever do that you would

never be stretched when God gets ready

to stretch you he puts your blessings in

places that challenges your tradition

when God gets ready to bless you

he puts your blessings in places that

challenge your comfort zone when God

gets ready to bless you he takes you out

of your element and puts your blessings

in a place of discomfort because God

wants to stretch you the way you think

the way you function the way you do the

way you move have you ever had god

strats you

[Applause]

now Peter is going down to Cornelius

house and they’re coming down from Joppa

down to Cornelius house to have an

encounter with God and Cornelius has

invited all of its friends and his

family to something

he’s not really sure what he’s invited

him to but he’s so excited that the

house is full of people and then he

hears that knock at the door what drew

me to the text in the first place is not

the meat or the clean and unclean and

it’s not the Italian soldiers it’s none

of that that drew me to the text in the

first place what drew me to the text in

the first place

what’s the door yeah I was reading the

text and I got stuck at the door and I

asked myself what what is a door what is

it door the word door is not used it

just says that that Peter entered in but

I have an assistant know that if you

enter in you had to come in through the

door because doors are how you get in

yeah for anything I want to get into I

have to find them yeah if I don’t find

the door I’ll never get in and when I

think about a door I think about a wood

frame and a doorknob and a handle and

shutting my turn and I open it and I

come in and I walked in the door and

that’s how my mind pitches the door

until I remember that Jesus said

[Applause]

and so suddenly I begin to realize that

my understanding of a door is limited to

my past experiences that I see doors as

wood and brass handles but God sees

doors as access to new dimensions

because when Jesus says I am the door he

is me the wood nor handle he is a place

of access to the next dimension and for

everything you’re trying to get into

there is a there is a door and I want to

warn you that all doors are not made

awarded all doors don’t have handles but

all doors do access something that you

were locked out from before and somebody

in this room

the Lord said you’re standing at a door

you’re standing at a door and I want you

to be careful that you don’t think that

a door is always a door it might be a

person it might be a job it might be an

opportunity it might be a place but God

said you’re standing

[Applause]

Tessa might say this is a lure you don’t

understand it but this is the door this

is a door this is a door this thing this

thing that’s going on in your life right

now the Holy Spirit said this is the

door this thing the thing that you’re

contemplating right now this thing that

you’re wrestling with and gruffly with

the Holy Ghost said it is the door it is

the door it is the door it may not have

wood it may not have handles it may not

have a locker the key but it is a door

it is access it is a point of entry

it is a door I have met people that were

doors I have spoken places that were

doors that one place opened up a door

preachers don’t wait on the big

engagements because doors are not always

being the room may be bigger than the

door one time I spoke at a little place

did hand but 40 people but one person

heard me and brought me before thousands

of people the room is always bigger than

the door so don’t save your best stuff

for the big crowds use your best stuff

even when the door is small just because

the door is small doesn’t mean that the

room is small

no matter how big the room is with Oscar

you must come in at the door

are y’all a two-yard and no never but

them old soul but the whole song says

you must come in at the door so what

drew me to the text was the door and I

struggled to understand the door because

when when the wooden Cornelius opens

this door and he sees Peter he

prostrates himself on the floor he

prostrates himself on the floor and

warships Peter he is a man in and under

Authority he is a man of power and

influence you have to be a big guy to go

low

[Applause]

only little guys stay puffed up

because they don’t feel safe enough to

go low you have to be strong to go low

you have to know who you are to be

willing to get down low yo y’all hear

what I’m saying what I’m saying is so

good about to shop myself I learned a

long time ago that people who are

arrogant are always small they’re small

people dress up in the air get close to

make themselves look big so that you’ll

be distracted from knowing that inside I

am small you have to be big enough

inside to get down low cuz you know if I

got down I can get back up again

Oh y’all hear what I’m saying oh I feel

like getting down this morning

Canadians went down will old Canadians

went down low because he was high

Cornelius went down low because humility

is important at the door you will never

get in the door if you do have humility

is a prerequisite for access to the next

dimension trust me when I tell you

you’ll never get in too high but if you

get down low

if we get down low if you get down low

you can get in where how people get

stuck at the door but low people can

slide into the crevice but you can’t get

low

unless you’re big enough

[Applause]

big people do not see humility as a

problem because they know who they are

no matter what position they’re in I’ve

noticed when we have our Leadership

Conference the smallest passengers

demand the biggest seats the people with

the least name cry for recognition

people with big names try to be obscure

they try to slip in and go unnoticed

people with little names demand that

they be called and recognized and sit up

front and move me over here and sent me

over there and they got four or five

security people nobody trying to kill

you they don’t know you

but-but-but when you’re small Oh y’all

can handle it when you’re small you

gotta like be when you’re being you try

to be small

so what drove me to the text was the

door the Cornelius barrels down at his

old house this is my house I don’t have

to do but this is my you came to my

house I sit for you by my power My

servants brought you down the road

my horses rode you down to here you

walked up my sidewalk you came up to my

door and now Cornelius Lea prostrate in

his own house I told you he was big

enough to go down low it’s one thing for

me to bow down in your house but it’s

another thing for me to bow down and man

I’ll make the payments up in here how

this house up in here come on somebody

and yet he thought it not robbery and he

humbled himself and he got down on the

floor and his theology is off he doesn’t

know much because he worships Peter he

worships Peter and I thought to myself I

wonder how uncomfortable Peter must have

been to know that the guy who’s on his

face worshipping him is the guy that God

had to talk you into coming to his house

can you see the dichotomy there that the

Cornelius thinks so much of him that he

over inflates Peters importance he over

inflates the importance of a guy who

didn’t even want to eat with him

and so when Peter when I used to read it

I thought Cornelius is just off and he’s

just crazy and Peter is just humble and

he just he just tells him get up don’t

worship me I’m better man and and now

when I read it I don’t know whether he

was whether Peter was humble or guilty

because there’s nothing like being

treated nice by somebody you’ve been

talking about

the Bible says the goodness of God

needed to repentance and that’s why

Jesus said do good to them that

despitefully use you because when you do

good to them you shame them you shame

them because they’ll find out that

you’re not what they thought you were

see you mess up when you try to go

toe-to-toe and be nasty – they’re nasty

be nice – they’re nasty because when

you’re nice to them nasty you disgrace

them here you supposed to be the man of

God I’m supposed to be the dog and Here

I am at my old house

so what drove me to the text teller was

I got stuck at the door I got stuck in

the door and suddenly I realize that God

is stretching both of them he is

stretching both of them he is stretching

Cornelius with an opportunity that is

beyond his wildest imagination Cornelius

house is the icon it is the app that

opens up a new dimension of salvation to

the Gentiles and app is what you click

on the access a program that is bigger

than what you touched Cornelius house is

a app Peter had to touch to open up the

Gentile nation

[Applause]

ah the human I’m saying to you do you

hear what I’m saying and God is

stretching Cornelius he said your arms

have gone up before me your prize’ have

gone up before me I’m getting ready to

take you into a new dimension a new

expression of yourself can I teach this

word Cornelius doesn’t know that he is

the door

he thinks he’s out of door

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

see some of you think that you are at a

door and you don’t recognize that you

so so so so oh my god oh my god oh my

god I’m not to get happy of my own

creatures because suddenly I realize I

got a go at Azure oh I will drive this

home can I Drive home lay your hands on

yourself say I am a door yeah yeah I am

a door that’s what Jesus said I am the

door I want you to be like Jesus lay

your hands on you said say I am a door

it may be possible that the enemy may

not be attacking you because you are you

it may be possible that the enemy is

attacking you because you are in door it

may be possible that the enemy is trying

to take you out because he’s after

what’s behind you you are a door I don’t

know who I’m talking to but you had to

be here this morning because you are a

door that’s why your childhood was so

rough that’s why your life has been so

tough the enemy’s been trying to stop

you not just because you’re at a door

but because you are a door

[Applause]

being around you

[Applause]

somebody given 30 seconds of rising

[Applause]

[Applause]

just three people say I am a

door-to-door I am a door I am the door I

am a point of entry I am access I am

access to another dimension I am a

drawer there’s something behind me

there’s something that I opened up

there’s something that I bring that

nobody brings like I bring when I bring

it I am a door that’s why the devil

hates me because I am a door that’s why

the Lord called me because I am a door

that’s why people are drawn to me

because I am a door that’s why people

are attracted to me because I am a door

[Applause]

yeah

yeah yeah yeah

you open up to something you open up to

something you open up to something

Cornelius does not know that he is a

door he knows that he is a soldier but

he didn’t know that he’s a door he knows

he’s a commander but he doesn’t know

that he’s a door he knows that he’s a

giver but he doesn’t know that he’s a

door he knows that he’s a proud warrior

but he doesn’t know that he’s a door he

knows that he loves God but he doesn’t

know that he’s a door sometimes you need

to know you’re a door why am I trying to

get next to you cuz you adore you lead

to something you open up something you

got access to something knowing you gets

me into something you are

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

tell Sam I said on the door

[Applause]

now I see why he was a giver

cuz when you’re ador you’re a giver

you get fulfilment by giving something

cuz you’re a dog when your adoring your

humble because you know it ain’t about

you it’s about the road it’s about the

rule not just the door it’s about the

room nobody lives on a door nobody eats

on a door nobody raises their family on

a door a door his access

we got a door standing at the door we

got Peter who preached the inaugural

message on the day of Pentecost who is

also a door Peter is a door because he

unlocks the New Testament experience of

the Holy Ghost

that’s what Jesus called him a rock

Peters our rock and upon this rock I’ll

build my church the revelation you got

is what I’m gonna build my church on and

so Peter too is a door coming to a door

to meet a door and they are all stuck at

the door and this is a place of

expansion

when doors meet doors

I will say that it all in the balcony

window sweep doors

you’ve been meeting locks but you’re

about to be the door when doors need

doors things expand when doors be doors

things expand God has a door coming to

me the door standing in a door because

somebody’s about to be expanded if

you’re about to expand give him a praise

right now

[Applause]

I want to go on and I keep I keep

getting in this thing all of you doors

need to meet doors all your doors need

to meet doors doors deserve doors all of

those opportunists are not doors

[Applause]

they’re trying to get to you so they can

get through you but when doors meet

doors there will always be expansion I

[Applause]

had a meeting with a guy the other day

I’d never met him before in my life but

when I met him I felt like I’d always

known him and he was telling me about

his story he’s he’s that he’s a

billionaire now but he started out

talking about eating little hominy grits

and and and being raised with nothing

and slop jars at outhouses and his story

sounded like my story and and I liked

him without trying

and I told myself to slow down and not

like it because I don’t know him but but

but I knew him without knowing anything

because doors no doors doors no doors

y’all don’t know what I’m saying to you

when a door leads the door you recognize

it as a door is something

philosophically connected between the

two of you where you connect on a level

without strain I knew I was sitting

across the table from a door and we were

staring at each other trying to figure

out what we could do together

what we could make together what we

could build together what we couldn’t

become together because I knew I had

made an appointment with the door and

the door was looking at the door and we

knew it was a point of expansion now

this is a prophetic word this is not a

sermon for your entertainment this is a

word of direction for your edification

this is a word from the Lord saying that

he is bringing a door to your door

and that you are a door coming to a door

and you are coming to a place of

expansion oh yes you’re coming to a

place of expansion this is a word of

revelation from the Lord saying to you

that you have to be willing to give up

on your ass revelation to be stretched

into a new direction this is a word from

God preparing you that these will be

unlikely doors they will not be obvious

doors there will be doors that challenge

the way you think and the way you

perceive things they will be doors that

do not meet within the landscape of your

normal philosophical ideas this is a

word from the Lord warning you not to

walk in what he has said

oh this is tough now this is tough now

this is a word from the Lord say you

cannot get there walking and what I have

said you have to get there walking in

the word that I am saying because if

Peter continued to walk in the word that

God had said he would have never come to

Cornelius house because it was God that

said don’t eat with the Gentiles in

Leviticus but now in Acts he has clean

what was unclean and what was wrong is

now right and you have to be broad

enough to handle a God in transition and

not just a God of tradition because

doors are transition not tradition doors

are transitioned and you cannot have

transition if you hold on to your

tradition and that’s where God is

stretching you because if he does not

break your old normal you will miss this

new opportunity my god I feel the Holy

Ghost

Kenna Kenna can I go deeper now the door

has come to the door and they’re

standing at the door and Cornelius has

prostrate himself on the floor and Peter

who would have thought himself a seed of

Abraham and Cornelius a dog in the face

of Cornelius humility reaches down and

raises him up and says I am but a man in

other words we are the same

the guy who wouldn’t go to his house

because they weren’t the same now sees

him answer saying because Cornelius has

lowered himself to the point that Peter

now humbles himself to say you don’t

have to warn me I am but a a man can I

teach this and Peter says you know my

tradition says that I should not be here

the only reason I came is that God gave

me a dream to come why have you sent for

me in other words I have come to a place

of uncertainty

not less lenient on this everybody at

this place this door is at a place of

uncertainty

peter has traveled all the way to get to

a place of uncertainty help me Holy

Ghost

you have come from a place of once being

sure of yourself help me Lord

to a place of uncertainty

the stress of being uncertainty

it’s weighing you down

[Applause]

because you are saying why am I here

[Applause]

what am i bringing do I have any value

in this situation

[Applause]

the worst thing in the world for a

leader to feel is uncertain both of

these men are leaders but how can I do

what I do when I don’t know why I’m here

and I don’t know what I’m doing in a

place of confusion and I’m trying to act

like I’ve got it together

because I don’t mind worshipping and I

don’t mind wearing prostrate on the

floor but it’s hard for me to admit that

I was have been confused because I have

come to a stage listen listen I’ve come

to a stage in my life that I’m not sure

what’s gonna happen next

and Cornelius has brought all these

people to his house but he’s not sure

why he invited them because he could not

know what was about that and Peter has

come all the way down from Joppa the

teacher the inaugural preacher on the

day of Pentecost comes to a door and

says why am I here I want to talk to you

about the feeling you have not been

talking to anybody about

but has you sitting on the side of the

bed at night saying why am I here

what is my value here I have come to a

place of uncertainty and uncertainty is

uncomfortable because I cannot for the

life of me figure out what’s gonna

happen next I have been led to a place

of confusion and I am not sure where I

belong

what I’m to do I’m to say right sure

I dress sure I want sure I talk sure but

when I take off all of this stuff and I

lay down in the bed at night I whispered

to my god I’m not sure

[Applause]

I don’t know I used to know when I was

20 I thought I knew I knew you know I

knew everything I knew

now at the time that I’m older and

should know the most I know the lease

and no wonder Cornelius Lee prostate on

the floor because it is in the doors of

uncertainty that we develop humility oh

my god it is it is see when you think

you know everything you’re arrogant when

you come to the point that you’re

willing to admit I’ll roll a fool

somebody said I don’t know

I’m here but I don’t know I came but I

don’t know I invited you but I don’t

know I got company but I don’t know I

got witnesses but I don’t know I opened

the door but I don’t know I took the job

but I don’t know I got married but I

don’t know about the house but I don’t I

came to you because of what you

whispered in your bed God answered in my

head I came to you who am i preaching to

what would you would you stop what

you’re doing I couldn’t sleep last night

you messing up my wrist

you got me getting up every hour and a

half walking the floor what are you

saying to God would you please let me go

to bed would you please let me get some

rest because whoever this is this this

this message is right at your house it’s

it’s right up in your face because you

just not sure you’re not sure the people

around you you’re not sure the

circumstances around you you’re not sure

yourself you’re not sure how you feel

you’re not sure where you’re going

you’re not sure what you gonna do you

just there and whatever you said to God

[Applause]

[Music]

whatever you tried to God wouldn’t let

me risk the cannibal Shia the Lord said

you had a door of expansion just a man

telling you had a door of expansion

whatever you’re about to expand is

confusing whenever you out to expand its

uncertainty whatever you about to expand

you’re not sure of yourself my God my

God my God that’s what God said don’t

put new wine in old skins because

whatever you’re about to expand old

skins like the elasticity to be able to

change and go with the flow and God said

you got to get rid of your old stuff you

all have it you’re all attitude you

won’t be able to stand one cuz you’re at

a door of expansion I gotta quit Oh

Oh

touch everybody you can read to say

them all up in the back and everywhere

room if you don’t get in the room I’m

not even talking to you I don’t know who

environment he put you in the right

place around the right people at the

right time and something is about to

what do you do when you don’t know what

to do what do you do when you don’t know

what you’re supposed to do what do you

do when you don’t know what’s gonna

happen

[Music]

you’ve been asking God what am I

supposed to do

I’m in a place of uncertainty I don’t

know what I’m supposed to do and that’s

what Peter was there however what I’m

supposed to do okay could you say mmm I

don’t know what just wants to either I

just invited you here and this is the

first time watch this in the New

Testament that this happens Peter just

started doing what he does

[Applause]

when you are in a place of uncertainty

[Applause]

just do what you do and if you do what

you do is shunned herbal course I wanna

subdue me like this all of a sudden

y’all should give me like this all of a

sudden I can feel your spirit pulling at

me don’t get in a place of uncertainty

and stop doing what you do because God

brought you to that place to do what you

do and the expansion is gonna curve

expansion is going to accurse expansion

is going to occur when you do what you

do

legend even tell them I’m dim red knew

what I do

whatever it is you do do what you do

what happen is you just do what you do

stop feeling sorry for yourself and do

what you do not morning and groan it and

just do what you do complain to your

friends

[Music]

so watch it watch it

I’m not on there but I feel the Holy

Ghost and I feel a breakthrough coming

for somebody I feel the spirit of

release coming in the road I feel it

answer to pray in the building right now

God watching here to get direction the

enemy and he wants you to be a church

this morning but the devil is a liar the

something is about to break

[Applause]

[Music]

every other time either cloven tongues

fell on people or somebody laid their

hands on people and they got filled with

the Holy Ghost but this time Peter just

started talking cuz that’s what he does

and when you’re in a place of

uncertainty if you do what you do it’s

gonna happen all by itself so the Bible

says while Peter yet spake these words

the Holy Ghost fell

[Applause]

the other girl don’t get it the Holy

Ghost fell on him then heard the word no

hands no oil no touchy no baptism they

just fell out because Peter did what he

did but his Cornelius hadn’t done what

he did Peter couldn’t do what he needed

Cornelius invited everybody over there

and it just so happened that his

everybody were all Gentiles

[Applause]

so even though they didn’t understand

what they were doing they were

consistent in what they were doing and

if you just do what you do I’m inviting

you to certain I don’t even know what it

is what I want you to talk

I’m invite you all want all y’all to

come over all my friends and everybody

all my cousins and Auntie big mama and

Grandma come on over what we come in – I

don’t know but come on over come on over

he’s gonna be amazing come on over it’s

gonna be wonderful

I don’t know exactly what it’s gonna be

but it’s gonna be good come on over so

he was doing what he did

Peter’s friend there in the door and he

just wants to talk it in the door while

he’s talking the Holy Ghost fell

on all them that heard the word let me

tell you who the holy ghost is falling

on in here I love using here the word

the Holy Ghost all of you that I listen

you ain’t got a word and let’s go follow

you no way but I love you then hear the

way

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

the Bible said the Holy Ghost fell then

had the wine and all Peter did was do

what he does and all you got to do in

this season and do what you do do what

you do just do

Chateauguay shut up just you who just

got a word from God pilots and boys we

got a word for the world

I know you feel uncertain I know you

feel insecure I know it feels like it’s

not working but if you get right in the

door and do what you do the Holy Ghost

is gonna do the rest and the Bible says

the Holy Ghost fell on all them that

heard the word then Peter said well can

any man forbid water that these should

not be baptized who have the Holy Ghost

as well as we he said well we might will

baptize them because God has already

baptized

[Applause]

one little less epilogue in act two they

were baptized first and then filled in

acts 10

[Applause]

[Music]

they were filled with the Holy Ghost and

then baptized God said he’s gonna do it

out of horror it ain’t even gonna make

any sense to you

it’s not gonna be like what you

experienced before he’s gonna do his

thing before you do your thing

by the time Peter knew anything they

already had the Holy Ghost God said he’s

gonna give you undeniable happiness

they’re gonna have to accept you

[Applause]
