well how many people are ready for the
word this morning all right I know
somebody’s like oh my god do they steal
and clap at everything like hey listen
you work in so many atmospheres and live
in so many atmospheres that’s up no come
come on let’s be honest we spend a lot
of time complaining about wanting to get
out of something and I want to make sure
when you come to church that it’s the
same energy and the same atmosphere of
joy that you would get at a place that
doesn’t glorify God cuz we got good news
and the good news is that Jesus has come
and he’s marked us for purpose somebody
just shot at me I’m marked we are in a
week seven now I told y’all I already
warned everybody now I said if y’all if
y’all don’t want to hear about being
mark come back in July cuz cuz I’m gonna
finish this whole rest of this month I’m
gonna talk about being marked by God
because I feel like there’s so many
people in this room who really have been
marked by God but are having struggles
navigating the process like let you know
that you’re made for more than what
you’re experiencing right now and you
know that God has placed something on
the inside of you but the process is
just on your nerves or the okay I got a
couple amens from this section or the
process it like you don’t feel like you
have enough to go through it and so what
I’m doing in this series is I’m helping
you through the Bible and the leadership
of David and to be able to see that
there is a process and if you can
understand some of these things that
you’re probably going through right now
it’ll make you stay in the fight do you
know that we’re in a fixed fight no
y’all ready acting like it we are in a
fixed fight now some of you’ve never
fought before so you don’t know what
that is but a fixed fight is when you
you literally know that outcome before
you get in the ring
and and the problem is for most
believers is the only way you lose the
fight is if you never show up for it and
the reason why most people are losing
fights is cuz they never show up for the
fight that God’s called you to whoof
God’s a good God why would he call me to
a fight cuz he told you with him you’re
more than a conqueror
he lets you know that in this life we’re
gonna have trouble but take heart is a
fixed fight
I’ve already overcome the world I’ve
paid I’ve defeated death hell in the
grape I got this but you gotta stand in
the ring and many of us because we’re
afraid of getting hit let’s be on my
face not my face because we’re afraid of
getting hit we never get in the ring the
crazy thing is we get hit anyway so what
happens when you’re walking around with
bruises but no victory belt what what
happens as a church as we walk around
talking about God is the greatest but
you look like you just got molly-whopped
some of y’all still like my you opt I
have no idea you look bad okay so today
I wanted to help everybody who’s going
through an obstacle everybody who’s
going through a challenge let me just be
very clear right now all of us are going
through something we don’t want to go
through right now okay if you can
identify the thing that you’re going
through that that that obstacle that
you’re going through that you don’t like
just raise your hand like if you got an
obstacle that you’re going through okay
we’re in good company so the title of
today’s message is what’s on the other
side of this crap
I had to be real to the insert okay if
I’m really cook I need to know there’s
something on the other side of this crap
now I don’t know some of y’all looking
at me so dignified like you ain’t never
felt that but I’m just trying to
identify some of y’all going through
marriage problems that’s crap and you’re
like we gonna pay all this money and go
through all this counseling what’s on
the other side of this crap some of
y’all are going through insecurities
that you’re having to to press your way
outside of but it’s uncomfortable and
it’s frustrating and you saying god
there’s got to be something on the other
side of this crap now if you want to
explore and use other language for this
that’s between you and God but I’m gonna
keep it right here what’s on the other
side of this crap because some of you
have teenagers right now and you didn’t
know that you would be having to
navigate through who you used to be
and knowing you passed that DNA on to
somebody else
and now they’re dealing with it and
you’re trying to do it from a godly
perspective but you just want to take
them to the ring and okay and you’re
wondering in your prayer time god what’s
on the other side of this crap like
finding those text messages and trying
to deal with it what’s on the other side
and I don’t know what your obstacle is
today but I want to let you know that
there is something on the other side of
it and let me tell you what it is
it’s elevation C when you’re marked
write this down this is your first point
today and we’re gonna see this to
David’s life you were elevated only one
way through obstacles most people want
to be elevated but they do not want to
go everybody say through you do not get
to bypass obstacles and go to where
God’s called you to be
never and so the thing that I have to
help everybody do is fix your
perspective because what we have been
taught since a young age is that
obstacles are bad no no no move that
move that the baby’s trying to learn how
to walk and so when a baby is trying to
walk parents remove all because we don’t
want them to be discouraged and to be
able to walk and so that’s how it kind
of goes all through life it’s when you
see an obstacle you wait for somebody in
charge to move in I have a daughter
right now her name is ava and and I call
her my boss baby cuz he runs the Todd
household right now y’all pray for us
but this baby will literally wait for
you to come and do things that she wants
you to do because if it’s an obstacle
let me give you an example she’ll go to
the refrigerator see this tall the
refrigerator this tall and she stands in
front of the refrigeration she’s dad dad
dad dad dad dad dad and tell him like
watch Ava
dad dad she got no more words than that
and she will stand there and yell my
name until I come up and use my hands to
open the doors and remove the obstacle
which was the doors from being able to
see the yogurt that she wants and what
ends up happening is as you’re thinking
about that it is a little child that’s
what we wait for God to do most of us
have grown up and have the ability to
open the refrigerator now but we’re
still standing at the doors of our
obstacles yelling God God God he’s
giving you the ability to speak to
things and they gotta move he’s giving
you the ability to walk into situations
and command peace and those waves has to
subside but you still like I wish God
would move he said I sent you there as a
representative me so that you can move
the situation and you’re still waiting
and so this is why I need you to
understand from this point on obstacles
aren’t bad they’re necessary for my
elevation no no you need to hear that
obstacles are not bad
are they inconvenient yes are they
uncomfortable oh yes are they
frustrating a lot of times yes but
they’re not bad they are everybody say
necessary
what if you just change your perspective
right now that what you’re going through
that is an obstacle is necessary for
what you’ve prayed for no come on
today is gonna be very practical but I
want to dive deep so that you can get
transformation what if the money issue
is necessary god you could pick another
one but what if that obstacle
it’s necessary for you to learn
something for the level he’s taking you
to David’s gonna find this out in a very
very real way because he’s serving in
the palace he’s serving his father at
this moment his dad asked him to take
some grilled cheese sandwiches to his
brothers on the front line he goes to do
that and I want us to pick up this story
in in 1st Samuel but before we do that I
want to give somebody an anchor
scripture because some of y’all are
looking at me like pastor you gonna have
to tell me something else James chapter
1 verse 2 it says consider it pure joy
my brothers and sisters whenever you
face trials whenever you face obstacles
of many kinds because you know that the
testing of your faith
everybody say faith this is all about
your faith who do you believe in you
were God like the reason he sends tests
I got this revelation God always sends
tests that he know he can conquer and
you can’t so that you always have to go
to him to be able to do it but he’s
gonna do it through you and that’s why
he said this is gonna produce
perseverance see if you learn it at this
level you’re gonna be stronger for the
next obstacle that comes somebody asked
me the pencil Mike they’re serving God
too easier I said no you get stronger
no no no you missed it the same things
that trip you up when you’re a baby
Christian and when you’re first in faith
it doesn’t get easier it’ll be the same
thing but you’ll get stronger and this
is what God is trying to do see you’re
gonna rise but there will always be
resistance to your rise but you are
resilient there is something that God
has built on the inside of you that’s
gonna allow your obstacles to never take
you out unless you let it and that’s
what David’s about to find out in First
Samuel chapter 17 verse 21 it says
Israel and the Philistines were drawing
up their lines facing each other like
all of us in here know that we’re facing
something some type of obstacle David
left the things with the keeper and the
supplies and ran to the battle lines he
was going to see his brothers he’s
probably happy like I know y’all in a
battle right now but dad was thinking
about y’all and uh I got you something
your favorite grilled cheese like and
watch this is what happens look what it
says he asked his brothers how they were
and then look at verse 23 this way you
got to pay attention to the details it
says as he was talking everybody said as
he was okay I want you to realize that
he was doing what he was told to do but
while he was doing what he was told to
do Goliath an obstacle Philistine
champion from Gath stepped out from his
lines and shouted his usual defiance and
David heard it when you’re marked
interruptions are introductions
a lot of us hate being interrupted let’s
be honest if you do not like being
interrupted when you’re talking when you
drive it when you eat and raise your
hand right now come on do not talk to me
right now
but what I found out that when you’re
marked you should not look at
interruptions in a bad way
interruptions should be the things that
make your antennae go up that all this
might be an introduction to the thing
that God’s about to use like like a lot
of us when we get interrupted well god I
was just doing what you told me to do he
said that’s exactly right
and because your elevation is rep
wrapped up in an obstacle like because
you’re about to go up but you got to go
through something to go up he said I’m
gonna allow some things that that go
against your perfect plan to interrupt
you and instead of running away from it
and being mad about it you need to
realize I’m trying to introduce you to
your next opportunity to go up and some
of us anytime like we’ll be driving and
the tire pops or goes flat oh my god I
don’t have time for this today and you
start working yourself into a tizzy and
and you know what it is he is like
and what ends up happening is wouldn’t
you stop and and you and you go into
whatever mode that is where you’re not
looking at what God may be doing you
miss the things that God’s trying to
introduce you to so what I started doing
when stuff started interrupting my day
like let’s just use the tyre for example
because that’s happening to your boy
before tyre pop on the side of the road
waiting for emergency assistance I said
god I wonder who you about to introduce
me to today that’s gonna take my purpose
to another level
you thought so much of what was going on
that you threw an interruption in my way
that if I could recognize you in it this
may be the introduction to something
brand new that’s taking me to another
level and I know some of y’all sitting
there like how does that even make sense
right now the obstacle of Goliath
started shouting as he was doing what
God told him to do what happens when
you’re doing what God told you to do and
something else to start shouting at you
something you didn’t plan for happens
there’s an unexpected death or loss in
your family somebody starts talking
about you that you don’t even know but
it sways the opinion of people you care
about what what happens and for most of
us we get so frustrated and we leave the
situation this what most of us would
have done oh my god he’s rude
here’s your sandwiches I’m going back to
my place of comfort I don’t gotta take
this and what you didn’t take you just
left your elevation too
well what what you were too good to be
able to go everybody say through uh-huh
but you were too impatient to go through
you just forfeited the thing that God
wanted to do in your life and most of us
would have left but I just need you to
know today is all about perspectives
changing your interruptions may be an
introduction let’s keep going in the
story David in 1st Samuel 17 verse 24 he
learned something because when you’re
marked perspective positions you
everybody say how I see matters see at
this moment
David’s about to face a giant who has
been talking crazy for 40 days this he
didn’t just walk up on something and
this is the first time everybody singing
day after day this giant comes up it
says as usual and starts talking crazy
to the entire Israel army and about God
and so David comes up to this situation
and when everybody is about to take a
step backwards because of David’s
perspective he’s going to take a step
forward and my question is how are you
seeing because if your per sec
perspective is broken you’re not going
to move to the position you’re supposed
to move to I might help you cuz some of
y’all still here looking at me crazy
first nto 1724 whenever the Israelites
an entire trained army saw when they saw
Goliath when their perspective was
messed up they all fled from him so
let’s let me let me give you an idea
okay they’re standing here oh yeah we
bout to get him the day it’s day 39 I’m
about to take this fool out he ain’t
gonna do nothing to me no more okay and
then bring them come beat Goliath right
here as soon
as they see him go back off see many of
us talk a big game when we don’t see any
opposition I won’t be bound in fear I
have control over alcohol I have control
over different things that are going in
my like because of my perspective it
moves my position and it literally says
that whenever they saw everybody say saw
that’s your perspective whenever they
saw they fled from him in great fear so
when you’re here we’re standing in faith
the fact that I came to the battle means
I have faith that maybe we can do it but
when we see or get a perspective of the
enemy
it makes us move positions and we
retreat to a place that all of our
decisions will be made out of and they
retreated to a place of fear and I’m not
saying where your retreat place is but
it’s usually a dark place it’s usually a
place where you can’t see fully and it’s
usually a place where you don’t make the
best decisions these people would
retreat every time they got a
perspective of their obstacle into a
place of fear now all their decisions
were made out of fear and all of their
talk was fear talk I’m trying to help
somebody understand you’re going through
an obstacle and you’re gonna go through
an obstacle but when your perspective
gets not on just the obstacle but goes
above the obstacle
God you see him God you see this
God you’ve been here before and so I got
something in my view but I’m choosing to
look past it and to look at you I look
into the hill see a lot of people get
that scripture messed up because it’s
not talking about like when they were
saying that that was the seat of
government and so most of the people
thought that their problem could be
fixed at the seat of government but what
they were saying is I’m looking past the
highest part of the solution and I’m
looking to you I’m looking towards the
heels from which cometh my what you’ve
gotta understand is that the obstacles
coming but are you moving from the
position that God’s called you to into a
position of fear or are you gonna be
like David who sees the opposition or
the obstacle and he actually steps
towards it we live in the probably the
most serious time for weak Christians
and I have to be honest because at the
moment there is any any opposition we
retreat we shut up we stop talking
it is quiet in here our our faith that
that’s what happens though and what God
is saying is did you not know that I
orchestrated for you to be here
that before you were formed in your
mother’s womb I knew you I know the
number of hairs on your hair hey hair on
your head do you not know that every
obstacle that you face has a loss next
to it if you would just stand up and
face it and there was an entire Israel
army who were trained who had gone
through practice and battle and none of
them when an obstacle came did anything
so watch this okay I’m gonna help
somebody Romans 12:2 I’m gonna teach
today I’m teaching today okay it says
don’t copy the behaviors and the customs
of this world don’t retreat in your
thinking don’t don’t go backwards but
let God everybody say this good word
right here transform let God transform
you into a new person by changing the
way you think but you only get
perspective from what you see and a lot
of us have not been seeing the promises
of God fulfilled through Scripture and
seeing the promises of God that’s why
you gotta put your eyes on the Bible
that’s why more than scrolling because
that’s the customs of the world and now
your faith is being built on something
that has not lasted but God says the
flowers wither the grass withers and the
flowers fade put my word
will stand forever and this is why I’m
calling you to a place of real devotion
with God because the only thing you’re
gonna have to stand on what obstacles
come is what God has already said I know
I know there’s a lot of people in this
room right now that you just wish God
would do an Aladdin and the genie type
situation you get three wishes and I’ll
make whatever wish you you won’t come to
pass we don’t serve a genie he said you
got to go through this
everybody just say through but on the
other side of this graph there’s
elevation on the other side of this crap
there’s healing on the other side of
this crap
there’s restoration on the others know
somebody needs to hear me on the other
side I can just stay with it and I can
go through it there is another level on
the other side somebody give God some
praise right there I’m having to work a
little bit okay as Christians we should
be offensive more than defensive all we
do is wait for the enemy to come and we
just try no just oh lord please don’t
let them score on us right but at some
point we have to go towards the obstacle
I love David cuz he’s a gangster because
I found a trick see when you’re marked
just write this down and I explain it
when you when you’re marked you make
enquiries of victory
now I’m expanding some of your
vocabulary right now but all enquiries
means is questions you ask questions
that lead to victory I was studying this
whole thing out and I was like what’s
the difference between the children of
Israel and David and I found out there
was one difference the questions they
asked
watch this first chamula chapter 17
verse 25 now the Israelites had been
saying from their place of fear look at
the questions that they’re asking oh my
god y’all do you see how this man keeps
coming out
that’s the only question they ask do you
see how he keeps coming out and he comes
out to defy Israel 40 days when I asked
him how do we ambush him
we’re not asking like there’s one of him
there’s like 10,000 of us how could we
they literally asked a question to make
sure other people’s perspective is the
same as theirs did y’all see him coming
out here defying our God yeah yeah we
all feel okay but that’s how most
believers live didn’t God say that you
could have healing no but I know he did
but we’re just gonna stay right here and
we’re just gonna ask what did the doctor
say like like that’s the only that’s the
only question you’re gonna ask I’m
stepping on people’s toes right now that
I could tell y’all are this laser ring
through me
okay so he asked that but look what
Davis starts doing hmm he overheard a
couple dudes talking and in the bottom
half of verse 25 he said y’all know the
king will give great wealth to the man
who kills him he’ll give him his
daughter in marriage and will exempt him
and his family from ever tech paying
taxes again here’s the elevation so
there’s an obstacle but there’s an
elevation – you about to get paid you
about to get a wife and no taxes so look
look what questions David starts asking
David asked for men standing near him
what will be done for the man who kills
the Philistine and removes this disgrace
from Israel do y’all see the difference
in the tone of his question it was not a
question do y’all see him it was a
question of offense what happens if I
kill him
what happens if this marriage lasts what
happens y’all are giving what happens if
my kids come out of this drug addiction
what happens if I buy the house in the
neighborhood he was making enquiries of
victory’ everybody shot at me victory
your questions are too weak your asking
questions about what will happen if we
if we if we lose this apartment
I’m not asking no more questions based
in fear I’m asking questions based in
faith and then we’ll get his next
question he said who is by the way horn
excuse me who is this uncircumcised
philistine he ain’t even on our level
what what is cancer when he said by his
stripes we are hip
I’m trying to tell you God is not in um
dropped from healing people we are in
lack of faith to believe that he can and
I know I know some people don’t believe
this but people who don’t believe it’s
have the same thing that they have
nothing because it tells us that without
faith it’s impossible for God to work
and and to do what he wants to do and
all of us want God to prove himself to
us and he’s saying if you would just get
the faith to believe me he said your
questions would change the type of
questions you’re asking are exposing
your faith quick see David had a lens of
victory while the entire children of
Israel had a lens of defeat okay let me
help you understand this I have another
daughter her name is Bella she’s five
and so one day she said daddy can we go
get a slushie
she really is into slushies that quick
trip now like mixing all the flavors and
like doing all that stuff like on a
sugar high and um I was like Bella yeah
we’ll go get a slushie today and she
said okay but then there were some
obstacles that came in her way some
meetings some some people came over
unexpectedly so she kept coming by and
she kept saying dad are we gonna go get
a sushi today and I said yeah she’s like
but these things keep happening
she’s fine these things keep happening
but I said baby don’t worry your we’re
gonna go get a slushie I don’t know if
my daughter read 1st Samuel chapter 17
but the next time she came to me about
an hour later she wasn’t asking the
question are we going to get a slushie
her faith was making me have to move
from where I was at as her provider
watch what she did she came up to me and
she said daddy what flavor of slushie
are you getting you need to go from
asking will we get the victory so what
are we gonna do with the spoils
some of y’all you need to stop asking
the wrong question
[Applause]
and what it did was it made me as her
father know that we got to get to
slushie because her faith is that we’re
already picking flavors and this is what
you have to see whenever you face an
obstacle some of you need to stop asking
can I afford to go to college and you
need to start asking what classes am I
gonna take yeah oh no no no no no you
need to build your faith you need to
stop asking where will I live when this
divorce is over and you need to start
asking where are we going on vacation
next summer honey cuz we go be together
and we’re gonna love each other I told
myself Michael don’t ever ask the
question when are we gonna get another
building God he said don’t ask that
question no more
he says start thinking like this I
wonder who God’s gonna use to underwrite
the whole thing when we buy a new
building can I know I wonder because
there was an obstacle david’s faith was
that this is just par for the course
this is necessary for what god’s called
me to do but his speech was rooted in
faith and so I know I’m preaching
brother Luke I know
so I came to tell you if you’re marked
upgrade the quality of your questions
stop asking to stop asking the stuff
that addresses the crap ask the stuff
that that will eliminate it and put you
in another place
there’s elevation on the other side of
this crap I mean no I need somebody to
hear me just say it with me there’s
elevation on the other side of this crap
I’m trying to tell you but you’ll stay
on the wrong side of this if you think
in doubt something y’all are trying to
believe well God Who am I gonna get a
ride with next you need to start
thinking what color a vehicle know as a
man thinketh see some of our hearts are
so broken to even it don’t cost you
nothing to think thinking is free
believing it’s free and many of us are
standing in the same place waiting for
God to defeat an obstacle that he said
no no we’re gonna have to go through
this one but I want you to think of
yourself on the other side of this
victory before you even have to face it
huh okay I’m gonna try to get through
this Charles I’m gonna try to get
through it I’m gonna try go to First
Samuel chapter 17 verse 25
because right now I’m waging war against
the way you’ve thought and some of y’all
been thinking this way for 35 years 22
years 10 years and so today I’m pushing
through teaching that you will face
obstacles yeah but don’t worry God’s
already overcome every obstacle that
you’re ever gonna face now watch this
cuz this is gonna hit some people on a
different level because it’s one thing
to be going through a big obstacle this
is a giant like Lynn
of the time it’s a giant but I mean it
sucks and and it’s frustrating but at
least if I only had one obstacle at a
time I think maybe I’d be okay but what
happens when you have many obstacles at
the same how many people have had more
than one obstacle actor how many people
are going through more than one off
stick okay okay this is for y’all for
all the other people y’all turn your
ears off okay David comes to do this
he’s interrupted by his obstacle Goliath
he says what what do I get
and yeah I’m gonna kill this guy and he
asks the right questions and then look
what happens in verse 28 First Samuel 17
verse 28 when elia David’s oldest
brother heard him speaking with the men
he burned with anger and he asked him
why have you come down here and with
whom did you leave those few little
sheep in the wilderness and with whom
did you leave those little sheep in the
wilderness I know how conceited you are
and how wicked your heart is you came
down here only to watch the battle what
happens when you’re dealing with a
physical battle of a giant or a sickness
or something and then somebody that you
love
like somebody that should know your
heart that they weren’t there when you
were in the field and didn’t get invited
to the party and they watched God anoint
you in a small area and have watched
your elevation and then they try to use
it against you and stab you with it
who’d you leave him little sheet with
you his brother was trying to remind him
of his past I want you to see this just
just look what David said now what have
I done can I even speak and then he did
something so powerful he then turned
away I want you to see that put first
samuel 17 verse 30 up there it said he
then everybody say turn away okay what
happens when you have two obstacles and
one obstacle you feel grace to tackle
Goliath and then this unexpected
obstacle comes out of nowhere from
somebody you love it’s a sucker punch
okay when you’re marked don’t even get
engage intentional ignorance if David
would have started fighting with this
brother right then that would have been
a distraction to his elevation oh my god
Ilya what are you talking about and if
they would have been able to hash out
all of that it would have turned into a
Jerry Springer episode right there on
the front lines but David had to be
mature enough this is a cuss word for a
lot of y’all mature enough to in the
face of another obstacle he had to turn
away what have you been giving your
energy and effort to that is not
important it it’s something that we need
to heal his relationship with this
brother does need to heal and this is an
obstacle but we’re standing here on the
front lines of a war and many of us
because it’s easier we turn to the thing
that’s actually the distraction and give
our energy to that so you’re fighting
with a co-worker at your job and being
petty when God said no the real giant is
your pride
so we supposed to be fighting this but
this is closer and right here and today
many of you if you’re ever gonna meet
that obstacle that’s gonna bring you
elevation you’re gonna have to do what
David need you’re gonna have to
everybody say turn away I found that in
the Christian faith there’s so many of
us that get distracted from our destiny
cuz we turn to the obstacle that doesn’t
move us forward we turn to the Ox ‘but
obstacle that takes us to our past
everything that LEM and David would have
talked about had nothing to do with the
future it had everything to do with his
path he even said it he wanted to send
him back to the past
sure
it was the wrong obstacle to fight cuz
even if I win this
it’s just winning something that was in
the past but if I face the right
obstacle that looks bigger that’s
scarier that nobody’s been able to go
against that obstacle defeat it leads me
to the palace so are you fighting the
right battles pest might what why did
you why did you come at us this this way
today because I’m trying to raise up a
church who is not weak obstacles are
coming excuse me
obstacles are here I don’t what are we
talking about but are we gonna retreat
how are we gonna forcefully advance
towards what God has called us to let’s
go back to that James Scripture cuz all
obstacles are not created equally James
1 2 8 consider it pure joy my brothers
and sisters whenever you face many kinds
of trials or obstacles because you know
that the testing of your faith produces
perseverance now watch this let
perseverance finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete not lacking
anything the obstacle is to finish you
not finish you off to complete making
you
so the reason he allows it to happen is
he cuz he knows there’s no other way he
made you you know you there’s no other
way you’re gonna become grateful until
you lose something that you really
wanted and then he takes you through
what he’s called you to restores it
gives you more than you had before but
now you can appreciate it because you
went through the obstacle is you he’s
trying to complete you he’s trying to
get you to the image that he created
before you got here
and so today I’m just gonna pray one
simple prayer for everybody is that your
obstacle would not take you out but you
would take your obstacle out can you
just lift your hands if you want that
today father I’m thanking you I don’t
know what everybody’s going through what
you do haha and you’re such a good
father that you position that obstacle
so that we could be victorious over God
I thank you that all the interruptions
got their introductions to our elevation
how thank you Father God that even in
this moment right now father all the
questions that we’ve been asking in
doubt we now shift our position to faith
and we’re gonna ask enquiries of
victory’ father God I thank you in this
place right now in the name of Jesus
that you’ve called us father God to
forcefully advance the kingdom of God so
we’re not gonna run away from obstacles
we’re actually gonna run towards them
father you gave David the victory but
it’s because he found his trust in you
and father I thank you for the maturity
for every person in here to not engage
father God in the ignorance that’s
trying to distract him right now yes
there’s obstacles and people talking and
people posting it people saying is for
father God let us keep our eyes on the
thing that’s taking us into our future
and not the thing that’s gonna drag us
back to our past
God we will be elevated but it comes to
obstacles but we take heart cuz you’re
making us in this season we are marked
by God and we’ll do everything you’ve
called us to do in Jesus name Amen let’s
give God a shout of praise in this place
oh come on if you know your mark and the
house signals not don’t take you out but
you’re gonna take it out hey listen this
is a word that’s gonna sit with you all
week and an obstacle is gonna come and
you’re going to have to look at these
notes and you wanna say oh I know what
to do and then your sister gonna call
and be like we don’t spend enough time
together you gonna be like baby I love
you but we don’t have to talk in just a
little bit beep because some things are
trying to distract you from what God’s
called you to take out right now if
you’re in this room and you’ve never
accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and
Savior I want to give you an opportunity
today
why face these obstacles of life on your
home why not have the God of the
universe on your side what everybody
just Val your head and close your eyes
if you’re in this room and you’ve never
accepted Jesus Christ as your personal
Lord and Savior I want to give you that
opportunity today at the end of that
James Scripture it says that you can ask
for wisdom and God will give it to you
liberally that’s when you have a
relationship with God where where you
can just ask him anything and today I
want you to have that relationship
just a moment we’re gonna pray and
everybody’s gonna pray for the benefit
of those who are coming to Christ but in
this room I feel that somebody needs to
submit and give their life give control
back over to God so today let’s pray
this prayer and only God and you know if
you mean it but I feel like some people
are making a transition into a new way
of living today everybody just say God
thank you for sending Jesus today I give
you my life I turn over the controls I
believe that you lived you died and you
rose again just for me today be my lord
transform me renew me in Jesus name Amen
