hey family

i’m pt pastor toray roberts i’m the lead

pastor of the potter’s house at 1la

and denver on behalf of my wife pastor

sarah and myself we want to welcome you

to our channel and to this word i cannot

wait

for you to hear what god has for you in

this message i want to tell you a few

things really quickly

subscribe if you’re not already

subscribed to this channel subscribe so

that you can be made aware

of all of the word that’s coming at you

week in

and week out and also turn on your

notifications so you don’t miss

a morsel that comes forth we’re also

grateful for you

and your partnership if you are so uh

compelled we invite you to support what

we’re doing not just

our church but what our church is doing

there are a number of outreaches a

number of things

critical necessary things that we

support and we’re able to do it

because of your generosity so without

further ado let’s get right into this

word god bless you

i’ll see you soon

i have to tell you there is something

about that song

more to come that reminds me when i

begin to feel restricted

when life feels overwhelming or mundane

and i feel

so small that we serve a god who

promises that there is

always more to come i don’t know about

you but when i hear that song i don’t

necessarily even think about

things that are more to come i think

about our identity

that there’s more to come to who we are

there’s more to come than

the position that we’re standing in

right now and so if that’s your word

i want you to take a minute and just

type in the comments more to come more

to come more to come

but as you’re typing it i want you to

consider the area of your life where you

need

more maybe it’s more peace maybe it’s

more strength

maybe it’s more joy whatever that area

is i want you to prophesy over your own

life sometimes we think you need if we

need a preacher

but what we really need is to prophesy

over our own life there is

more to come you don’t have enough

strength right now that’s all right

there’s more to come

there’s more worship to come there’s

more encouragement to come there’s more

confidence to come you are more than

what you’re going through right now

there is more to come so don’t let worry

don’t let stress don’t let fear don’t

let anxiety convince you

that there isn’t more to come mother’s

day is so special because it is such a

reminder to us each of us we have a

mother

but it is a reminder to us that the

multiplication of god happens through

womanhood it speaks to the moreness of

god

and so mother’s day no matter what this

day means to you i hope that one thing

that stays in your mind in this moment

is that motherhood is a reminder of

multiplication

and even in your own life god has

multiplication connected to who you

are i have to tell you i’m low-key

super excited about speaking on mother’s

day because mother’s day is super

special to me my very first time

speaking on a sunday was at the potter’s

house at 1la when i first came though it

was

one church los angeles one church

international actually

one church international i had the

opportunity to speak my very first

sunday

seven years ago on mother’s day

and so this is so special to me this is

like my 1la

anniversary and so for our 1la family

our denver family you’re watching online

you’re a part of our family too maybe

you’ve never actually been in perp

in person we just want you to know that

we love you we’re sending our prayers

to you every single day you have so much

worth so much value and you are a part

of what god is doing through the earth

through the potter’s house at 1la i’m so

honored

i get to share the word with you today

i’m going to be speaking from matthew

chapter 8.

i’m going to start in verse 5.

and my text begins it says now when

jesus

had entered entered capernaum

a centurion came to him pleading with

him

saying lord my servant is lying at home

paralyzed dreadfully tormented

and jesus said to him i will come

and heal him the centurion answered and

said

lord i am not worthy that you should

come under my roof

but only speak a word and my servant

will be healed

and then it says for i am also a man

under authority having soldiers under me

and i say to this one go and he goes

and to another come and he comes into my

servant

do this and he does it when jesus heard

it

he marveled and said to those who

followed assuredly i say to you

i have not found such great faith not

even

in israel and i say to you

that many will come from east and west

and sit down with abraham isaac and

jacob in the kingdom of heaven

but the sons of the kingdom will be cast

out

into outer darkness there will be

weeping

and gnashing of teeth then jesus said to

the centurion

go your way and as you have believed

so let it be done for you and his

servant was

healed that same hour that same

hour jesus healed the servant

father we thank you for this moment

for this opportunity father to just sit

and commune with you

father at home there are people watching

and they’re in all different types of

circumstances and situations and yet

none of them are

unknown to you some are watching live

some are watching it later and yet your

timing is

impeccable because they will receive

this word

right when they need it the most so

father we make room for what this word

is supposed to do

we allow you access to every part of our

heart

every part of our mind every part of our

habits every part of our excuses

and we simply say have your way

have your way great god that you are and

as you’re having your way specifically

for me in this moment father i pray

that there would be no nerves no fear no

anxiety father just your strength

your anointing your power your word

standing tall on the inside of me

to the extent that lives would be

changed that breakthrough would happen

strongholds would come down and that joy

would be released in the earth

in jesus name i pray amen

and amen again can you type amen in the

comments can you type amen in the

comments

i have to tell you i love mother’s day

and i love it now that my children are

getting older

because they ask me what i want for

mother’s day and they can

actually deliver even though i have to

admit i don’t

always have a tangible material desire

for mother’s day

all i ever really want to do is go to

sleep

like my son now he’s 18 and he gets so

frustrated when he asks me what do i

want for mother’s day and i’m like i

want to go to bed okay

i didn’t get it when i was a child my

mother would say that

she no she would say i want peace on

earth peace on earth i’m like okay so

there’s nothing that we can get from

target or bath and body works i don’t

know how much bath and body works we

gave our mom

growing up but we wanted to give her

something that felt meaningful

this mother’s day after we get finished

spending our time together

i’m putting on my pajamas and i’m

grabbing a book

and i am going to read and sleep because

that’s what mother’s day is all

about for me i’m one of those people who

love reading

i don’t know if you’re like me i’m a

little bit of a bookworm

i was studying for this message and i

was tempted to say

that i remember a time when there was no

such thing as

audio books then i googled when audio

books were invented and they were

invented in 1932.

so i couldn’t even say that the way that

i wanted to but i do

feel like there has been a rise recently

as it relates to audiobooks even though

they’ve always been there

it seems like because of the busy nature

of our lives

they have become more popular over time

so when i was thinking about it though

as much as i love

holding a book as much as it gives me so

much joy to

turn the page and be completely

engrossed in what is happening in the

book

because i am so busy audiobooks have

become a part of my favorite things

as well there’s something about an

audiobook that allows you to understand

the author’s intent better than just

reading the words

it’s the tone in which they read the

book that really makes the difference

all of you english majors recognize this

already you know that tone makes all of

the difference in communication

specifically when it comes to writing

that’s why we go to great

lengths to make sure that when we are

writing our pieces of work

that we make sure that we use words that

reflect the intent because

tone is so important it is the

difference between

admiration and admonishing it is the

difference between

excitement and grief the words that we

use and the way that we string them

together

create a tone tone is

the difference between you better get

over here right now

and you better get over here right now

tone it makes all the difference of

course

if you grew up in a household like mine

then this is not unfamiliar to you

because you grew up with parents who

said things like

watch your tone watch your tone

you can say yes ma’am but it’s the way

you say yes man that determines whether

or not you are

campaigning for a beat down and about to

get elected okay

not not to say that my mother whatever

you know because times are weird and i

don’t know what people believe but i

will say this

watch your tone is something that i

heard repeatedly growing up

watch your tone watch your tone when we

move into adulthood we don’t often hear

people say

watch your tone anymore because as

adults they believe that we already have

done the work

necessary to assess our tone

and yet the truth is part of my

assignment today

is to tell you to watch your tone

watch your tone watch your tone watch

your tone i have to tell you that

as i was studying for this message i

felt like god

was telling me that there are people who

are saying all of the right things

but to an unsuspecting ear you would

never really notice that the tone in

which they’re saying it betrays the very

words that they’re saying i’m okay

some people believe it but god is

watching your tone

i’ve got this you may be fooling some

people but god is

watching your tone you serve a god who

watches your tone he doesn’t just

listen to what you say he watches the

tone in which you say it

because he understands that what you say

and where you are are not always the

same thing

i don’t know about you but i’m so glad

that i serve a god who watches my tone

that when i tell the world i’m okay he

still sends someone to check on me

because he recognizes

that sometimes my mouth is on autopilot

but my spirit is fluctuating you need a

god

who understands how to watch your tone

god is looking

down from heaven and he’s watching as we

navigate the world and the circumstances

that we are going through

and we’re saying all of the right things

but god is watching our tone if i had

some help in this room i would take

about 10 seconds to thank god for

a god who watches our tone that he

doesn’t trust me when i say that i’m

okay

that he doesn’t trust me when he says

when i say that i have peace

that he doesn’t trust me when i say that

i’m doing all right because he

recognizes that sometimes i’m hanging on

by a stream but trying to convince

everyone else that i have it all

together

he knows that i’m nervous to step into

this next but trying to convince

everyone i have it all together

and that’s why you’ve got to watch when

god starts sending people your way

because it’s god’s way of saying you i

don’t trust what you said

i trust your tone and i’m trying to make

your tone match up to what you say

because a double-minded man is unstable

in all of his ways god

watches your tone

watch your tone thank you god that you

watched my tone

thank you god that you sent me a friend

right when i needed thank you god that

you sent me the opportunity right when i

needed it

thank you god that i was saying i was

okay but i was actually functioning

functioning while depressed god i thank

you

that you watch my tone god i thank you

that i stumbled across a youtube message

i was never supposed to be watching

because you understand

that i’m saying all the right things but

you are watching my tone the tone is the

environment

in which your words must live and

sometimes we think the environment is

okay but god says

the environment cannot sustain

who you are supposed to become in me

and there are moments when our tone

betrays us

i need to leave this relationship but

your tone

betrays us i need to start this business

but your tone says you’re nervous your

tone says

you’re skeptical you’re saying all the

right thing but your tone

is revealing to god that you’re just not

there yet and can i tell you for just a

moment

it is okay to not be there yet

you are so human so fragile if you will

that there are moments where you have to

recognize that it is okay for you to

know all of the right words but

for the environment in which the words

live in

to be skeptical of the very words you’re

saying

my subject for this message for those of

you who like to take

notes is a new tone a new tone

you don’t need new words you need a new

tone you don’t need

more vocabulary you need a new tone you

don’t need to say it to someone else

you need a new tone did you know that

there is a tone that can be released in

the earth

that when you say it there is no doubt

that you mean it there is no doubt that

it is going to be fulfilled

there is no doubt that it is going to

happen it’s not because of what you say

it is the tone in which you say it when

you say i’m going to beat this thing

there is

a tone in which you say it that says i’m

not going to quit until i’ve given it

every last shot that i have

i hear god saying that i want to change

your tone i hear god saying that i don’t

want to give you any more words i want

to give you a new tone

there’s a new confidence coming to you

there’s a new power coming to you and

it’s going to be in your tone

it’s not going to be in the books it’s

going to be in your tone it’s not going

to be in the podcast it’s going to be in

your tone

you’ve been collecting word after word

afterward now god says i want to give

you a new tone i want to give you a new

way to say what you’ve been saying

i want to give you power i want to give

you authority and you can’t get this by

yourself

you can’t hustle up on this you’re going

to have to be in partnership with me if

you want to walk in this new tone

i hear god saying you’ve been talking

about the cat’s got your tongue oh no

i want to give you the holy ghost has

got your tongue i want to give you

something stronger than anything you

have

ever experienced this new tone

can only come from above

and when we find the centurion man

walking towards jesus

in capernaum

he’s desperate for a new tone

there’s a part of his world

a part of his life that is paralyzed

you see this man is paralyzed his

servant my text tells me that his

servant is at home he’s paralyzed

and dreadful dreadfully tormented he’s

stuck and tormented

can we talk about the trauma that comes

with being stuck

and tormented it’s one thing to be

stuck but some people don’t mind being

stuck

other people are comfortable being stuck

because they don’t have

any desire to move beyond where they are

but there’s something about someone who

once felt like their life was moving

that their

life was on track that they were

becoming and progressing and all of a

sudden to feel

stuck it’s tormenting

and this centurion man realizes that the

only way that i’m going to be able to

get help

i i’ve tried praying over this man i’ve

tried doing all of the things they told

us to do i’ve been stretching his legs

i’ve been moving his legs

the only environment that is worthy of

helping him to get into the healing that

he needs can only come

from jesus you’re watching this

and you feel stuck and maybe you even

feel a little

tormented and i want to suggest to you

that just for a moment

you consider the power of what the

centurion man does here

he recognizes that the environment in

which the paralyzed servant

is in is not conducive to the healing

required

and because it is not conducive to the

healing that he wants this servant to

experiences

he changes the environment because he’s

trying to set a new tone

that environment that the paralyzed man

is in isn’t bringing

healing it isn’t bringing breakthrough

you’re watching this and i came to make

you desperate for a new tone

you’ve been stuck for too long you’ve

been tormented for too long

and sometimes you need someone to come

into your life and shake you up

to make you desperate for a new tone the

centurion man recognizes

that i can’t do this in the same

environment that i’ve been in anymore i

don’t know who you are

but i hear god saying that you have been

stuck in an environment

that cannot bring you healing and

sometimes you need a sign that it’s time

for you to move out of that environment

well here i am to remind you that it is

time for you to move

out of that environment and become

desperate for a new tone

i don’t want to talk to people who are

complacent i don’t want to talk to

people who are comfortable

i want to talk to somebody who is

desperate for a new tone

i have to do this because my family is

depending on it i need a new tone

because my community

is depending on it i need a new tone a

tone that releases breakthrough

a tone that releases healing a tone that

releases creativity

i’ve tried everything that i could do i

went into the social circles

i went into the online courses but

nothing could feed this tone that i

needed in my life i need

a new tone you got to become desperate

for a new tone it doesn’t just happen

because you hustle up on it

there’s a hunger that is down on the

inside of you i’m praying right now

that as you’re watching this message

that god begins to make you hungry

and desperate for a new tone i need to

speak to myself in a new way i need a

new tone

i want to say that when i can do all

things through christ that i say it with

such authority

that i actually believe that i can do

all things through christ

when i say that i am okay i don’t want

to say it with skepticism in my voice

i want to say it like someone who is

confident that god makes all things work

together for my good

it doesn’t matter how many scriptures

you know it depends on how much tone you

apply to those scriptures

it’s one thing to say no weapon formed

against me will prosper

it’s another thing to say i wish a

weapon would because no weapon formed

against me will prosper

i know who my god is i know who i serve

there is a tone coming to your mouth

there is a tone coming to your household

there is a tone coming to who you are

[Music]

and this tone is the kind of tone that

can only be borrowed from heaven

the centaurian man says i’m out of my

league i’m out of my league you got to

pay attention to the moments

when you’re out of your league you got

to pay attention to the moments when

you’re above your when you’re in

over your head this is bigger than me

this is greater than me

i don’t have enough in me to pull from

to in order to affect the change that

this moment needs

i cannot do it by myself in order for me

to have breakthrough i’m going to need a

new tone i don’t know who you are

but god is setting you up for some new

environments god is setting you up for a

new role

god is setting you up for a new position

you’re walking into a version of

yourself

that you’ve never been before and if

you’re honest you feel like i don’t have

anything to pull from really but i’m

going to step into it anyway

i hear god saying that is the sweet spot

for breakthrough because when you don’t

have anything to pull from you become

desperate for a new tone one thing i

know for sure is that my old tone won’t

work in this new tone

my old tone won’t work for this new role

my old tone won’t work for where god is

calling me so i’m desperate for a new

tone

god show me how to think on this level

god show me how to act on this level

god show me how to pray on this level i

gotta pray for my child like i’ve never

prayed for my child before

god i need a new tone them cute little

prayers won’t do anymore

god i need to step into the new i don’t

know who you are but i feel this so

heavily for you

that god is taking you into a new

identity

and this new identity you are out of

your league

you are outgunned you don’t have

everything you need i know that this is

not what they like to post on instagram

but if i could for a moment help you to

get small enough

to become desperate for a new tone you

don’t know anything about the life

you’re signing up for

and you’re signing up for it anyway with

your bad self you know why you’re

signing up for it anyway because you

recognize that when i walk out of this

boat that god is going to be there to

help me learn how to walk on water

that jesus is going to call me toward

him but i got to be desperate for a tone

that only i could hear

there are some tones that every ear is

not alert enough to hear

but there is a tone that comes to

someone and they have an

ear to hear that new tone that new tone

that new tone that new tone

the world is not going back to the way

it used to be there’s a new tone

things are not going back to the way

they were there is a new tone god said i

broke that thing off of you and you’re

never going to go back

but what i have is ahead of you and what

is ahead of you is going to require

a new tone a new tone

sharper than you’ve ever been wiser than

you’ve ever been

more strategic than you’ve ever been

that’s why you can’t move the way you’re

used to moving and you’re frustrated

because you can’t find your momentum i

can’t find my rhythm but i hear god

saying that’s because i’m trying to

introduce the new tone

and you’re trying to play the old tone

i’m trying to play the new tone and it

won’t be until you get rid of that need

for the old tone

that you become desperate for the new

tone and that is where we find

the centurion man when he has an

encounter with jesus he is

desperate for a new tone

[Music]

the most interesting happen thing

happens in this moment

when the centurion man becomes desperate

for a new tone

he says to jesus all he says to jesus is

my servant my servant is

paralyzed and dreadfully tormented

he’s stuck and he’s in pain

and the moment he says this it alerts

something in jesus

you see because the very purpose of the

identity of jesus

was to come to heaven for those who are

stuck and tormented

we do not serve a god who looks down at

us being stuck and tormented and he

turns away

when god recognized that humanity was

going to be stuck

and it was going to be tormented he says

let me get my son jesus

wrap him in flesh fill him with the holy

spirit and send him down to the earth

because i will not allow my children

to be stuck and tormented jesus responds

i don’t know who you are

but jesus responds to stuck and

tormented you’ve been praying from the

place of your pride

you’ve been praying from the place of

having it all together i hear god saying

if you really want to see me move in

your life

find the area where you are most stuck

find the area where you are most

tormented

and allow me to touch that with my

presence allow me to bring that change

into your life allow me to bring that

transformation to the space where you

need it the most the place

where you feel the most stuck and

tormented jesus responds immediately the

centaurian man doesn’t even say to jesus

i want you to come to my house he all he

does is explain the situation

and it it causes a response

in jesus jesus says i will come

and heal him i’ll come and heal him

oh god i feel like we should rest there

for a moment

and think for a second oh my

i’m thinking in my own mind of the

spaces in my life that feel stuck

and dreadfully tormented

and i’m thinking for just a moment of

how if i just brought that to jesus

jesus if i just laid that out to jesus

and said this isn’t just something that

i’m willing to deal with anymore

this isn’t just something that i’m just

going to call a part of life anymore

this is something that has me stuck i

cannot move and it’s tormenting me

it’s making me feel like i’m a failure

it’s making me feel like i’m never going

to be

anything it’s making me feel rejected

it’s making me feel abandoned it’s

bringing all of my insecurities to the

surface and jesus responds to that

immediately he says i’m going to come

and heal him

i’m going to come and heal that area oh

god i feel like prophesying over

somebody’s life right now

i’m gonna come and heal that area where

you’re insecure i’m gonna come and heal

that area where you have uncertainty i’m

gonna come and heal that area where you

feel like your marriage is falling apart

i hear god saying that i’m sending a

word that’s going to come and heal come

and heal

i’m coming because you learned how to

pray from the place of stuck

that feels like a message unto itself

praying from the place that’s stuck

worshiping from the place of stuff

can you take your mask off for just a

moment

just between you and i

can you admit

that underneath it all this is not to

negate the things that are going well

we praise god for that we thank god for

that

but jesus

i don’t want to be greedy i don’t want

to ask you for more because you’ve

already given me so much but if i’m

honest

there’s a part of me that’s stuck and

tormented

and that part of me no matter how good

these things are on the other side

that part of me that is dreadfully

tormented and stuck

god god i need you there

i don’t want to believe that this is

just how the cookie crumbles

not when you hold it all together

[Music]

god is stuck god the marriage is stuck

god the child is stuck god the

creativity is stuck

god the confidence is stuck god it’s the

faith my faith is stuck

my faith is stuck i used to believe but

i don’t believe the way that i used to

believe it’s

stuck

and i hear god saying just like this man

was stuck and dreadfully tormented

that there’s someone you’re watching

this message

and you are stuck but you have become

numb to the torment of being stuck

and you have become comfortable

in a place that was supposed to torment

you into moving

it was supposed to antagonize you until

you started seeking a new tone

it was supposed to irritate you and get

under your skin until you became

desperate

for jesus to give you a new tone a new

word and you have become comfortable

in the place that used to torment you

and i hear god saying

that he’s going to allow it to torment

you again

don’t let yourself become numb

don’t allow yourself to become

comfortable in the place where you were

once stuck

because god doesn’t want you to stay

there

the centurion man finally finds jesus

and jesus says i’m going to come and

heal him

and like most of us if it were me i’d

have been like come on jesus i’ma fry

some chicken

come on do you even eat chicken i don’t

know what’s happening back here some

ducks some quail whatever it is we got

going jesus i got you you come to my

house

i’m gonna make you some biscuits and

some rice he gonna be healed and we’re

gonna sit around and eat chicken

but the centurion man doesn’t do that

the centurion man says i am a man of

authority

you don’t have to come just

send a word just speak a word he says

lord i am not worthy that you should

come under my roof but only speak a word

speak a word speak a word and then he

uses

an analogy as a soldier

a soldier who understands that because

you are under authority

that if you tell a soldier to go that

they go and if you tell a soldier to

come that they come

and so what he says and said is jesus

you don’t have to bring yourself

physically to my house to touch the

servant

what you can do instead is send one of

your soldiers

what you didn’t see that in the in the

text he doesn’t actually say

send one of your soldiers he just says

speak a word

that’s because the centurion man

understands that the word is a soldier

now it makes sense when we see in the

old testament that the word will not

return unto me void because my word is a

soldier it will accomplish what i set it

out to accomplish

the word is a soldier that’s why when

you receive a word from god you have to

recognize that that word is on a mission

that word has a declaration that word is

on command from god to not just invade

your life but to shake up things in the

earth

and the centaurian man says just send a

word the word is healing

healing is one of god’s soldier

breakthrough is one of god’s soldiers

strength is one of god’s soldier

so when you start asking god to have

breakthrough in your life

when you start asking god for joy to

return for peace to return

what you’re really asking god for is to

send me one of your soldiers

send me one of the soldiers that i know

can help me go to war with the enemy

that is trying to torment my life

send me one of your soldiers that can

help me get unstuck

you’re asking god for a word god says

i’m gonna give you a word that’s like a

soldier

i don’t know who you are but i hear god

saying that even as you receive this

message that soldiers are receiving

their marching orders

that god has word lined up in heaven and

it is a marching order that is meant to

come down to the earth

to help you accomplish what god has set

out for you to accomplish in the earth

i don’t know who you are but just for a

moment i want to prophesy that there are

soldiers headed your way there is an

army headed your way

an army that’s got your strength an army

that’s got your healing

an army that’s got your breakthrough you

don’t see anyone coming but you better

catch every word you can get

because if you catch every word you get

you’ll be catching soldiers

catch every word catch every word you

can get catch every word you can get

because the centurion man says there is

a word that can feel like a touch

you’re wondering what does it feel like

when i receive a word from heaven

when you receive a word from heaven it

feels like someone physically touched

you

no one was around but even as i’m

preaching right now something feels like

it’s physically

physically touching the inside of your

heart and i hear god saying that’s just

one of my soldiers

you’re wondering what’s happening god

send some of your soldiers to their

house

god send some of your soldiers to their

finances god send some of your soldiers

to their mind i hear god saying that you

don’t need anyone else to touch you

you just need a word that feels like a

touch

a word that feels like a touch a word

that makes me get

unstuck a word that makes me finally go

and get the help that i need

sometimes you need a word sometimes you

need a soldier that’s dressed up as a

word

i don’t need another touch i tried the

friendship touches

i tried the relationship touches i tried

to get the touch from money

i hear god saying no touch will do

you need a word and jesus commends this

man’s faith

he commends this man’s faith because he

says this man gets it

he says i haven’t seen this level of

faith in all of israel

finally someone who understands that i

will not be available for

physical touch forever jesus recognizes

that his mission

on earth will only last three years and

then he will ascend to heaven

but he needs someone who understands the

power of god’s word

i need someone who understands the power

of word that the word is better than a

physical touch

that a word from god can beat anything

that has ever tried to come up against

you in the past

that if i release one of these words

into the atmosphere that it can

set a new tone

it can set a new tone

jesus says the centurion man gets it

our job ladies and gentlemen

is to come to a place where we recognize

like the centurion man

that maybe what we’re asking for is a

touch

but what we really need to set a new

tone

is a word a word

that feels like a touch

because when jesus heals the centurion

man’s servant

all he does is send healing in jesus

name

in jesus name in jesus name that’s why

we close the prayers that we do

because it is our way of saying that the

words that i am sending i’m sending in

the name of jesus i’m not

sending it in my own name because in my

own name i don’t have enough

access in my own name i don’t have

enough power in my own name i am not

sure that i can even touch heaven but if

i send it in the name of jesus

then there is no doubt that it will

receive heaven’s address

there is no doubt that heaven will

receive this prayer that i am sending

and god says in response that when i

send it back to you i’m going to send it

in jesus name

healing in jesus name power in jesus

name creativity in jesus name

strategy in jesus name confidence in

jesus name

i’m just speaking a word over somebody

who’s stuck in a particular area

i hear god saying that i’m going to send

it in jesus name

i’m going to send healing in jesus name

i’m gonna send comfort in jesus name

hold up grief you gotta back off up off

of me there’s love coming in jesus name

hold on stress you gotta back up off of

me there’s peace coming in jesus name

jesus is sending soldiers after you

jesus ascendant sold it after your

depression you better get up off of me

because there’s peace coming in jesus

name there’s strength coming in jesus

name

there’s joy coming in jesus name in

jesus name in jesus name and my own name

i couldn’t do it but the centurion man

said

jesus if you say healing that paralyzed

man can get up and walk

in your name it can be dumb in your name

it can be

accomplished in your name in your name

in your name in jesus name

i can set a new tone

finally jesus has someone who gets

it and here we are

thousands of years later and so many of

us

are stuck

stuck tormented

paralyzed by fear paralyzed by the

abandonment paralyzed by the rejection

i don’t know what battle you’re up

against

but i know that if you are in this world

you are up against the battle

[Music]

god we need so much breakthrough on

earth

so many parts of our world so many parts

of our culture

are paralyzed and it would be one thing

if we were okay with it being stuck but

we’re

tormented by a tormented by a pandemic

tormented by grief tormented by feeling

unfulfilled

tormented by depression tormented by our

mental health

continuing to decline we’re tormented

down here

and god just needs a few people who

would be like the centurion man

who recognize that i need a new tone for

my atmosphere

i need a new tone for the areas of my

life not just in the world but the areas

in my personal life that are stuck

this man could have said i’ve tried

everything and now i’m out of faith

instead he’s tried everything

so it’s time for faith

we don’t have to wait until the last

minute to invite faith into our journey

faith into our lives

the centurion man got it and i hope that

you do too

because jesus can’t come to our house

physically

we can pray all we want to but until

jesus

actually comes back what we need more

than anything is a word

if that’s you and you’re watching it and

you know you need a word i want you to

type in the comments i need a word i

need a word

i need a word i need a word i need a

word but don’t just say it blankly

think about the area of your life where

you need a word

god i need a word this is new god i need

a word i have so

so many ideas but i have no way to

actually manifest them god i need a word

i need a word

i need a word for my spirit i need a

word for this new venture i need a word

for this marriage i need

a word for raising these children i need

a word for this business i need a word

for this non-profit

i need a word because i don’t have the

money i need a word because i don’t have

the time i need a word i’m stuck i’m

stuck i’m stuck i need a word

[Music]

when you ask god to send a word

in jesus name he releases his soldiers

i want to pray with you i want to pray

for someone who is watching at home

and who feel so much like the centurion

man felt

and when she was desperate for a new

tone

and yet just like the centurion man what

you will have to do is remove yourself

from the environment where you have been

living

and reach for the heavenlies that can

release a new tone

there is a new tone in the heavens

and it is on reserve for someone who

understands

that instead of looking around the most

powerful thing we can do is

look up um

i felt something if you’re watching this

message

and you’re one of those people in need

of a new tone i just want you to look

towards the heavens

if you’re driving be careful i don’t

want you to do this wait until you get

home but i want you to take time

that when you pray maybe instead of

closing your eyes that you would look

towards the heavens see beyond the roof

see beyond the sky

and dare to see heaven staring back at

you and then i want you to bring to mind

the place in your life where you feel

the most stuck

where you feel the most dreadful torment

i want you to bring that place to your

mind the insecurities

the anxieties the worry the concern the

trembling the stress

bring that to mind and then look towards

heaven

spirit of the living god there is no

name greater than your name

there is no power greater than the power

that comes from above

there is no strength there is no wisdom

there is no creativity there is nothing

greater than who you are and father we

are looking

up to you because we are in over our

heads

we are looking up to you because we

recognize that without you we cannot

transition into this new tone

we’re trying to set a new tone as a

business owner we’re trying to set a new

tone as a leader

we’re trying to set a new tone as a

spouse as a child

we’ve been stuck in the same ways for

too long and it’s tormenting my health

and it’s tormenting my joy and it’s

tormenting my peace but we literally

don’t know how to do it without you

we’re

desperate for a newton

father send a word as only you can do

father they’re watching online and

they’ve brought to them

to their minds they’ve brought to their

hearts the areas of their lives where

they feel the most stuck father

i pray that even as they have decided to

consecrate themselves in this moment

that you would begin to meet them

precious spirit wrap them in your arms

father help them to recognize that

they’re not in it on their own

that you hear them god i thank you

that you hear our tone god i thank you

that you don’t believe us when we say

we’re okay god i thank you

that you don’t believe us when we say we

have it all together father thank you

for watching our tone

god illuminate in us the areas of our

lives

where there is a disconnect between how

we’re doing

and what we need

father i thank you that it’s already in

your heart to move

restore redeem love

and propel it’s already in your heart to

do that

it’s already in your heart to take us

from glory to glory to glory

and because it’s already in your heart

to do it father we pray

that you would bring us into alignment

with what you want to do on the earth

father forgive us

for we have sinned we have settled for

touch when we really needed a word

we have stayed stuck and comfortable

when we really should have been

tormented into moving forgive us father

because we missed the mark and we know

that we don’t deserve it but god because

you are willing and because you are able

we open up our hearts to receive

breakthrough

to receive a word that will set a new

tone in our lives

father i thank you that you are not

going to put us in a position or in a

role

and then sit back and watch us fail that

you are willing to partner with us and

so god i pray that you would partner

with every person watching every person

listening right now partner with them

father

as they dare to do great exploits in

your name

partner with them as they dare to break

generational curses partner with them

as they dare to bring strongholds down

partner with them so god send your

soldiers to help them beat

the giant that is ahead of them and we

thank you father that it is already done

not because we’re saying it in our name

but because when jesus was nailed to the

cross you put to death

every limitation that could ever stand

in our way

and god if there’s anyone watching right

now who hasn’t received jesus as their

personal savior

father we acknowledge that the bridge to

you the bridge to breakthrough

that bridge’s name is jesus and we

receive

jesus as our personal savior father we

open our hearts and we say we’re going

to give faith a try we’re going to give

jesus a try because we believe that we

are covered in his name

and i thank you father that as they

receive jesus that they are receiving

every good and perfect gift that is

available to them as they navigate life

in jesus name i pray amen

and amen again family

i hope that this message helps you to

set a new tone

i hope that as you’re navigating your

life and walking into the next that is

assigned to your name

that you would feel that you are not

alone may you never

ever ever forget that when you see a

word whether it’s on instagram or a word

on youtube or a word through a worship

song that it’s not just a word meant to

make you feel good

that it is a soldier on assignment

and so your goal is to make sure that

that soldier that word

accomplishes what it is meant to

accomplish in your life

allow that soldier access to the area

where you need it the most

i’m praying that god seals this word

that it would take root

and produce fruit in your life to all

the mothers

happy mother’s day i love you we love

you

and we’ll see you here on thursday
