final program
sponsored by friends and partners of
Kingdom connection
greetings from judges chapter 7 and
today I’m beginning a series for the
next three services see it everybody say
see it say it and sees it one more time
see it say it and sees it go to judges
chapter 7 verse 9 it happened on the
same night that the Lord said to him
arise go down against the camp for I
have delivered it into your hand but if
you are afraid to go in other words if
you think I’m a liar God is saying then
I’m going to help you with your doubt go
down to the count the enemy’s camp with
pura your servant and you shall hear
what they say about you and afterward
your hands will be strengthened to go
down against the camp he went down the
pier with his sirup servant to the
outposts the armed men who were in the
camp now the Midianites the Amalekites
the people of the east were lying in the
valley as numerous as locusts their
camels were without number as the sand
by the seashore in the multitude and
when Gideon had come there was a man
telling a dream to his companion he’s
eavesdropping on the enemy’s camp and he
said I have a dream to my surprise a
loaf of barley bread tumbled into the
camp of Midian it came to a tent struck
it so that it fell and overturned and
the tent collapse then his companion
answered and said I know what this is
this is nothing else but the sword of
Gideon the son of joash a man of Israel
into his hand God has delivered Midian
and the whole camp and so it was when
Gideon heard the telling of the dream in
its interpretation that he worshiped he
returned to the camp of Israel and said
arise for the Lord has delivered the
camp of Midian into our hand I’ll stop
there but I want you to see this story
in a way that I believe God really wants
you to get I got an important message
today the promise of God is what we
won’t
when God gives you a promise he gave
Gideon a promise I have given the enemy
into your hand
they were so greatly outnumbered he only
had 300 men and God said you’re going to
defeat him but he did not have enough
with the promise alone to his faith
didn’t believe he just said we’re
outnumbered were outmaneuvered there’s
no way we can defeat them and God said
okay the promise is not enough for you
see the promise the promises that God
gives you are not self-fulfilling all
the time God gave the children of Israel
amazing promises they were pregnant with
promises but they never entered into the
promised land so it’s not a matter of
whether or not God has made you promises
because just because you have promises
and you found them in the Word of God
does not mean you enter into those the
fulfillment of those promises there is
something that has to happen to provoke
your faith you see a promise from God is
just a revelation of God’s divine
intentions in your life God will give
you a promise and he’ll show you in the
scripture his divine intentions and God
says this is what I plan to do now what
do you plan to do we need more than a
promise the key is to make the promise
into a picture that’s why God said to
get in I promise you I’m going to
deliver them into your hand but if you
don’t believe what I’m telling you if
you think I’m lying if you think I’m not
able to do what I’m telling you I’m
going to do in your life then I want you
to go down and I want you to listen to
what the enemy is saying and you will
get a picture in your mind and in your
heart of seeing yourself completely
having victory over the situation that I
promised you I would give you it wasn’t
until Gideon who was behind the rock
hiding and he heard the enemy talking
saying I’m telling you I saw in a dream
a cup
cake roll down the hill and wipe us out
and the other guy says I know what that
cupcake is that cupcake is Gideon and
Gideon is hiding and he hears it and
snap he gets a picture God had told him
he was going to be victorious but he
didn’t believe it it wasn’t until he got
a picture of his victory of his future
of what he was going to do and how God
was going to use him that he believed it
and that’s why he began to worship it
wasn’t till after he got the picture
that he started worshipping he said I
can see it and the first part of this
message is see it you’re gonna have to
see it you’re gonna have to say it and
you’re gonna have to sees it that’s what
I’m preaching on see it but you will
never possess the promise of God until
you see it if you see it then God can
bring it to pass God gave Gideon the
promise but if the promise doesn’t
provoke a picture in you it’ll never
come to pass I’m telling you God made us
visual if I say horse you see a horse if
I say cat you see a cat if I say dog you
see a dog just a moment I say if I say
polka-dotted something you see
polka-dots if I say zebra you see a
black and white horse and God is saying
sometimes a promise is not enough you
have to get a picture as a matter of
fact every time the dream and the
interpretation was the picture and when
he got the picture what he didn’t
respond to when God gave him a promise
he did respond to the picture he started
worshiping he ran back to the camp and
said get everybody get up we’re going to
defeat the Midianites what had changed
God had told him and he didn’t get
excited Noah when he got a picture of
his future when he understood I’m the
cupcake I’m the one and he saw it
before it was ever manifest outwardly he
had a picture of it inwardly everything
changed you’re closer than your miracle
you’re closer to your miracle than you
realize you’re a pitcher away from the
performance of the promise
Gideon breaks out into worship why
because when he had the promise he still
wasn’t convinced but when he had the
picture the pitcher convinced him if you
can see it you can have it if you can
see it God can do it if you can see it
it can become a reality but you’ve got
to see a picture if you can see yourself
free if you can see yourself healthy if
you can see yourself successful if you
can see and how do you do that you get
promises from God’s Word he begins to
renew your mind and you don’t see
yourself as a failure you don’t see
yourself as an addict you don’t see
yourself as a loser you don’t see
yourself as a nobody headed nowhere
doing nothing but when you get filled
with the promises the next thing God
will do is he will turn it into a
picture of who you really are and if you
can see it see yourself blessed see
yourself prosperous it can change your
life without a vision people perish one
translation said without a vision people
lose all restraint you want to know why
people go crazy and getting become drug
addicts and young people go out and live
crazy and get drunk and all that they
don’t know where they’re going because
when you know that you’ve got a goal and
a vision for your life all those things
are our distractions Jack Nicholas the
great master golfer who’s won every
championship you can imagine was asked
one time how did you win so many golf
championships listen to this young
people listen he said I see every shot I
take in my mind
before my body gets involved I see every
shot in practice and when I get ready to
address the ball where I want it to go
my mind lets the pitcher govern my
body’s response if your mind can be
persuaded by a pitcher then your body
begins to respond let the pitcher
develop in your mind and usually
pitchers have to be developed in dart
rooms and it’s when you get in darkness
that God will begin to develop the
picture of who you really are
when God told me to come to free chapel
25 years ago and I pulled up to the
first service I had a picture inside of
me that God had put for this church and
I did not see that church struggling I
did not see that church half-empty I did
not see that church remaining small I
did not see it I was so blinded with
vision that when I walked in I looked
back on it now I don’t know if I would
have that faith now but God gave me more
than a promise he gave me a picture and
I saw I remember when God started
calling me to preach I would hear
anointed preachers preach and I would
see me doing it I was sitting out there
like you but the anointing would get on
me and I would I would be afraid of what
I would feel but I could see it I could
see me preaching on television I’m sorry
I’m just gonna tell it like I saw these
cameras before you see these cameras I
saw this church before come on church
he’ll give you a picture I saw myself
blessed
I saw myself winning I saw myself
overcoming I saw myself having a
beautiful family
I saw myself finding me a beautiful life
and that’s why I didn’t date everything
out there on two legs
you gotta get a picture what are you
seeing well I just kind of let life hit
me it’s gonna hit you your mind is
important once it’s in my mind my body
aligns to the picture that’s why that’s
why praise is so important because
really what praise is is your body
responding to the picture on the inside
which explains why some of you don’t do
much of it because what’s on the inside
of you is you’re expecting nothing
you’re believing for nothing you’re
seeing nothing you’re taking it as it
comes and God says I have a plan for the
rest of your life and it’s good and all
some of you see is failure and hurt and
depression and disaster and bad things
and I’m gonna tell you whatsoever things
are good and pure and just and lovely
and if there be any pray you’ve got to
get the promise and turn it into a
picture and say I don’t see me broke I
don’t see me struggling I don’t see me a
loser
I don’t see me hopeless and I don’t see
me lonely I don’t see me checking in to
the old folks home and nobody loving me
I see me blessed all the days of my life
surely goodness and mercy will follow me
everywhere I go I see it I say it and I
seize it come on and clap your hands and
believe God let your body respond to
what you see
the children of Israel so your life will
always move in the direction of the
dominant pitcher you allow to reside in
your mind so if if you see he’s probably
gonna get worse you’re struggling now
but he seemed gonna get worse
I don’t see that when I read the
scriptures I see the scripture saying
you’ll be blessed and sitting blessed in
the field and I will make a way and I
will take care of you and I’ve never
seen the righteous forsaken I’ll never
say it’s gonna be he’s gonna God is for
me well you got to get a picture of that
God is for me sometimes you feel like
Naomi I’m just Forsaken and old
bitterness is set up in my heart cuz
life has been a big God is for me and if
you ever get that picture God is for me
children of Israel God said God said to
the children of Israel go into the
Promised Land just send 12 spies let
them take pictures and bring back some
grapes basically what he was saying is
bring back grapes show everybody I
wanted to get I wanted to move from a
promise to a picture and they were
supposed to come back and they were
supposed to say my God look at these
grapes and the Bible said the grapes
were the size of watermelons but instead
they came back talking about the size of
the Giants and that that’s that that’s
the picture they had in their mind we
listen to the pitcher
we’re grasshoppers they’re giants they
should have come back seen the picture
there’s greats and God said that we can
do it in God’s bigger than the Giants
the picture matters that’s why God said
to Abraham Abraham I know you’re an old
man and I know your wife thinks you had
a senior moment when you told her she
was gonna get pregnant cuz she’s an old
woman but Abraham if you don’t believe
my promise go out and look at the sand
and I’ll give you a daylight vision it
has the sands of the seashore so shall
your children be I want you to every
time you see the sand I want you to get
a picture of your family and if it gets
dark then I want you to look up and see
the stars I want to give you a nighttime
vision so that
it really gets dark and when the stars
twinkle and you see them by the billions
in millions he said when you see the
stars think as the stars of heaven so
shall your seed be because you won’t
believe what I tell you in the promise
until you get a picture and we started
seeing it and I can almost hear him sing
zip-a-dee-doo-dah
come on Sarah we’re going back here
we’re going we’re going wig on we’re
gonna make a baby but he had to see it
I’m concerned that a generation of young
people are coming up and they don’t have
a clue and the deal is you got to get
into these promises because if you’re
getting good services like this the
anointing of God will begin to mess with
your destiny and will begin to bring up
but to surface the promises of God over
your life and the purposes of God but
then the purpose has to become a picture
I won’t throw this and Jesus was about
to call Peter into the ministry listen
this is this is this is powerful but he
had just come in from fishing all night
and caught nothing and Jesus was about
to tell him follow me and you’ll become
fishers of men but what would have been
the pitcher in his mind empty Nets well
let me let me go out and I’ll preach the
gospel I might catch one struggling
little fish in my net huh not gonna
catch much no no jesus said before I
call him into the ministry to be fishers
of men
I’m gonna get a picture in his brain of
what kind of fisherman he’s gonna be
come on out in the boat with me and cast
it on the other side and the Bible said
the net began to break the boat begin to
sink then he comes in and immediately
Jesus turns to him and says follow me
and I’ll make you fishers of men and he
didn’t have a picture of struggling he
had a picture of overflow
I’m almost through
y’all getting anything out of this you
know have you ever tried to explain
something to your children and they just
you told them in words but they just
didn’t get it
and you finally get frustrating you said
what I have to do draw you a picture
clean your room ah do I have to draw you
a picture I think that’s how Jesus feels
I give you the promise but if you won’t
get the promise what I have to do to
tell you I’m for you I have a I love you
with an everlasting love don’t you get
the picture I’ll never leave you I’ll
never forsake you don’t you get the
picture no weapon formed against you
will ultimately prosper don’t you get
the picture greater is He that’s in Yin
don’t give up because I’m for you I’m
for you don’t you get the picture Albert
Einstein said imagination is much
greater than knowledge knowledge is
about facts but imagination is greater
than knowledge why for you can if you
can see it in your mind your imagination
can take you beyond the facts that’s
what happened to that woman with the
issue of blood the facts said the
knowledge of her day said you have a
blood disease and you’ve spent all your
money and you will never get better but
she got a picture in her mind if I can
but touch the hinge if I can touch the
hem I see myself touching the hem of his
garment and if I can do it I’ll release
my faith it’s the point of contact and
I’ll get here and you know what she got
it she went beyond knowledge she went
beyond facts and facts may tell you you
shouldn’t believe facts may tell you you
can’t build a successful business facts
and knowledge may tell you that odds are
against you and you’re not educated
enough and you’re not talented enough
and you’re not smart enough and you’re
not a big shot and you’re not you don’t
have any connections and you don’t have
back in blah blah blah bah
bah-bah-bah-bah but if you can get the
picture from God you can say to all
those talented people move over all
those people that are much more
qualified move over move up because
there’s something about a person who
gets a picture from God
oh I wish I could put this in a needle
and shoot it up in you some of you’ve
had that other stuff shot up in you you
need some of this you’ll know why you
don’t know why you always getting drunk
and sleeping up and falling into
adultery in this it’s because you’re not
full of the promises of God this is the
mote you you know you know what happens
to people they get bored they get bored
with life but when you get promises and
they become a picture you get a vision
for your future the picture was in her
mind then it will to Kirby ond the facts
and knowledge I’m saying to you today
that if you see it the next thing I’m
going to talk about it
Winston next Sunday you say it and you
can seize it if you get a picture your
emotions will explode let me give you a
picture watch this let’s say Drake and I
were driving down the road this week and
he turned to me he said he looked at the
billboard and it said 133 million dollar
lottery he said dad he said what would
you do if you won that you know the
thought hit me when I went back home
what would I do
um would you give it back preacher cuz
she slipped no I would not no I wouldn’t
buy the ticket first of all let me be
clear
but if Drake got it and they called me
on a Saturday night at 11:45 and said
you have just won 133 million dollars I
wouldn’t go praise the Lord my body
would explode off the pitcher then I’d
write my tie check and come to churches
next Sunday that next morning that’s
exactly what I would do number one
so get this
that picture that happened yet just the
picture makes your body explode ah I
mean you’d have curlers in your hair mud
on your face you’d run down the street
in your underwear say I won 133 million
dollars and you sit in church I want to
tell you something you didn’t just win a
trip to Hawaii you ran you want a trip
to New Jerusalem you’re going to a city
where there’s no pain no death no
suffering no sickness no temptations no
