When you’re in a state of unbelief, it blocks you from your own blessing.
since the devil cannot prevent God from
blessing you his only alternative is to
put you in a state of spiritual siege so
that you cannot access the blessing that
God has freely given you sometimes we
are starving not because of something
that God did not supply but because of
something he supplied that we cannot
cease when the enemy puts you in a state
of unbelief it blocks you from your own
blessing and kingj ahora m– had the
wrong people around him at this time we
saw it in the text the officer verse 2
on whose arm the king was leaning
sidenote for all the students be careful
who you lean on he was leaning on a man
who would not believe who would not
connect to the prophecy by faith and
when you lean on people who insist on
dragging you into their dysfunctional
way of thinking this might be only for
five people but sometimes something you
lean on in one season that props you up
can paralyze you in the next season and
sometimes we build in our lives support
systems that are unable to accommodate
the weight of what God is speaking to us
so be real careful who you lean on ask
somebody can I lean on you because see I
don’t want to get in the middle of a
famine and be leaning on someone who
doesn’t have faith for the life that I’m
trying to live I can’t just be
surrounded by people who refuse to
believe that better days are ahead and
that greater things are in store so
sometimes I have to restrict access and
I can’t just be around anybody and I
can’t just listen to anything and I
cannot believe everything I see and I
certainly cannot believe everything I
think so sometimes I’ve got to shut it
down and sometimes I got a mute some
people and sometimes I got to spend some
time in the presence of God because
my signal-to-noise ratio has caused me
to miss the provision of God because I’m
leaning on the wrong people and
listening to the wrong voices this is
the word of the Lord
I’m not saying be mean to people just
don’t lean on them
lean on the everlasting arms lean on the
promises of God build your house on a
solid foundation not the shifting sands
of people’s opinions and the man on
whose arm the king lean said could this
happen
look how Elijah responded he said you
will see it with your own eyes but you
ain’t gettin none of it that’s the new
New International Version no no I was
just thinking how sad that was that it
was a day of deliverance and the top
adviser to the King starved to death a
matter of fact he’d even get the chance
to start because look when the people
went into the enemy’s camp and plundered
the enemy’s camp in accordance with the
word of the Lord verse 17 says now the
King had put the officer on whose arm he
leaned in charge of the gate question
who have you put in charge of your gates
what regulates your thoughts what
regulates your belief what regulates
your self-image look he put the man in
charge of the gate there’s a lot of
Revelation in this message I’m gonna
give you all of it I can’t but you will
need to lean into this message because
sometimes you have put a past experience
in charge of the gate to your future
listen and when you let your past
experience regulate access to your
future you will always be stuck in a
stage of life that can no longer
accommodate what God is speaking in this
season not gonna happen but what if I
had listened to him we wouldn’t get to
hang out today what if I had listened to
him I would have built me a little white
church with some little white people and
it’d be about 50 of us and we would just
preach to the choir and we wouldn’t
change anything and we wouldn’t touch
anything and we wouldn’t have a fan
watching all over the world the devil is
a liar is happening and it’s gonna
happen with or without you you might as
well get richer my watch off my wrist
chef somebody say it’s happening and
what a horrible thing for it to be
happening right in front of you but you
don’t experience it the man on whose arm
the King leaned stood in the gate and
while the people were running to the
victory the Bible says they trampled him
in the Gateway he died in the gate of
what was possible now give me a minute
I don’t really know what to do
it’s on to me somebody say get out of
the gate
until twelve people suck in happen pile
of time come on twelve people get out of
the gate nobody coming to help me either
I don’t need you I don’t need you
and do this myself I started with week
one I was saying get back in the gate
but I heard the Lord saying this time
get out of the gate I said what is it he
said make a move you hear all this
teaching you hear all this excitement is
good but you got to get started and he
died in the gate way he blocked his own
breakthrough he saw it but he did not
experience it because he would not
believe it it is our unbelief that
blocks our blessing not others some of
us we block ourselves by blaming others
and so we stay locked in prisons of
offense and we miss blessings because we
would rather blame somebody else than
believe God say let me bridge this you
cannot believe God and blame them at the
same time you can’t believe God and
blame others either you believe that
what people meant for evil God means for
good or you don’t if you believe God it
means there’s nothing life can do to you
there’s nothing people can throw at you
there’s nothing they can say about you
think about you or lock you out of that
will keep you from receiving what God is
assigned to your life
so here’s the announcement Elijah you
can have your breakthrough or you can
have your blame but you can’t have both
[Applause]
when the king came to Elijah he said
this is God’s fault that we’re in this
famine
it wasn’t the Lord’s fault it was the
fault of the leader and sometimes we
will not lead our own lives and take
initiative for our own repentance so we
block our blesses voice do you hear me
we block our own blessings we not not
the devil our disbelief God’s gonna do
it the other day I’m a great man of God
was encouraging me great man of God if
you made a list of the top five people
in the world he would be in my opinion
somewhere in the top 10
but I respect him so much now why I
respect him he has longevity and
ministry and he was introducing me to
speak he had invited me to speak and he
got up to introduce me and the things he
was saying about me they were they were
so nice and encouraging I thought he was
talking about someone else it was a kind
of introduction where he wasn’t just
speaking like he wrote a book or he
pastored a church he was saying things
that he saw in me and how God had called
me and our ministry and a voice to the
generation a bridge to reconciliation
just things that are while he was saying
them at the same time that he was
affirming me watch this
there was another there was another
voice not on the stage but inside my
soul you ever had this happen like
somebody is trying to affirm you trying
to love you trying to validate you but
you cannot receive it because your gates
are blocked there is something in the
way called you that will not allow you
to receive the love that God is trying
to give you through someone else and
while he was saying these things about
me it’s almost like the more he said
good about me the worse I felt because
what I thought is he doesn’t know me the
problem with you is you’ve got too much
dirt on yourself
and the problem with you is you think
you know yourself better than God does
the moment the revelation hits your life
that the only one who knows you
completely is the same one who loves you
unconditionally you will be unstoppable
in the kingdom of God and while he was
sitting there affirming me and saying
things about me the devil that will
slithering serpent that came crawling up
the eave talking about that God really
say he was placing limitations it was my
own limitation it’s hard for you to take
on Giants when you see yourself as a
grasshopper it’s hard for you to come
out of a famine when you are living in
the depths of your own frustration and
even when I preach sometimes some of you
play me off and hold me off and cross
your arms and close your heart and you
lean back and it is your way of shutting
the gates but you are missing the
miracle because you feel unworthy but
God never predicated his blessing on
your worthiness perfection is not the
price of admission to the kingdom of God
north to the great works and mighty
thinks that he has called you to do in
the earth
I feel anointed to tell you today
imperfection has never stopped God from
blessing anybody the only thing that
blocks your blessing is unbelief but I
dare you to shout right now loud enough
where that devil can hear you
I am the righteousness of God I need
y’all to shout my voice inspired shop
