before I go any further I want to just
pause and can we just honor the queen of
this conference pastor Sara James
Roberts she’s she’s not just the queen
of this conference petal
she’s la reina me chorus aw la manna de
Luca a song hallelujah she’s the queen
of my heart let’s make some noise for
Pastor Sarah we love you so much what a
gift you are to this world and I thank
god you’re born our leaders are here can
we honor and celebrate Bishop TD and
First Lady Serita Jake’s every leader
needs a leader and was so grateful for
them and the way that they lead and I
got not just my leaders but they’re
there they’re my parents I’ve got extra
parents in them and I the weak you know
our relationship my relationship with my
father in love and my mother in love
defies every in-law lie every in-law
maybe even a reality for some it defies
all of that it’s been beautiful from the
very beginning come on somebody how many
of us know when God is in something come
on us that’s why you want you want to
let God orchestrates your marriage and
your relationships and all those sort of
things I’ve got something that I want to
do always like to give gifts first of
all let me tell you I get nervous when I
speak in front of a bunch of women uh
yeah both of our campuses are multiple
thousands of members but when I speak to
a crowd that is predominantly women I
get nervous and the reason why I get
nervous is because I actually think that
I understand who you are
and I find it a real honor and a
privilege to be entrusted with the
message that speaks to the identity of a
woman I take it very seriously because I
don’t think there’s anything more
beautiful and anything more glorious
than a woman flourishing and who she’s
called to be come on somebody it’s the
truth there’s nothing in fact the man’s
job the man’s job is to facilitate that
flourishing that is our job if God look
at just stay wait for a second but but
but if God if we look at scripture it
can be argued theologically that God
unfolds significance as it relates to
creation he unfolds significance via
sequence
he starts with with everything that is
non-human and then he ends with
humankind and then when we thought that
was done then there humankind had
another dimension and that final
dimension which was the capstone of
creation was the woman a man’s job from
the very beginning was to be a steward
of the environment that causes the woman
to flourish that’s our job
that’s why even like in salsa and pastor
Hosea can probably just I can probably
help me with this but but even in salsa
like if you ever see a man and a woman
do a salsa and and the man is out doing
the woman he missed the whole point
because the whole job he is supposed to
use his moves to accentuate her come on
somebody so that she can look as
beautiful as she’s designed to be
anybody want a real man come on somebody
I don’t want you to settle because I
believe and I watch this I believe that
God is raising up a generation of men
that are gonna see honor but I feel the
Spirit of God that are gonna see you
right that are gonna love you right that
will understand see we’re getting back
to identity we’re getting back to our
callings we’re getting back see Adam oh
god I’m not supposed to be preaching
already
I’ve got stuff to do see let me tell you
what happened with Adam and Eve let me
just tell you what happened really
quickly really quickly because because
everybody gets on Eve right because Eve
had the encounter with the serpent right
now watch this
Eve was being assertive because she was
created to be you got to catch this she
wasn’t being out of order out of line
God created the woman to be assertive
the problem was Adam actually didn’t do
his job because because he was supposed
to manage that assertiveness he was
gonna say baby now you got a lot in you
you got a lot to birth you got a lot to
produce but but since I was here before
you got here
let me give you perspective on the world
that you’re being called to do business
and I’m gonna give you perspective I’m
not gonna diminish you I’m not gonna
hold you back
I’m not gonna decrease you what I’m
gonna do is I’m gonna come alongside of
you and I’m gonna give you some
perspective and I’m gonna give you some
parameters I’m not trying to control you
baby together we go we gonna win
together so let me give you watch this
let me give you perspective let me give
you parameters and let me give you
prophecy because the real one that God
has for you will have insight and wisdom
concerning you that was for free just
just take notes of that that was for
free here’s the thing we got all
different types of people and of all
different types of socio-economic
background here’s the truth if you got a
hunt it and you don’t need it and you
know it
then I want you to take that hundred I
want you to sowed in somebody’s life
right and if somebody sold it into your
life and you don’t need it I want you to
pay it forward and sew it into come on
somebody because we gonna get a promise
to somebody we
we’re gonna get a blessing to somebody
are you tracking with me alright alright
alright alright
Genesis chapter 1
and if you have a difficult time finally
Genesis chapter 1 come up to the altar
for prayer
I’m gonna read Genesis 1:1 through 2 and
I’m gonna read verses 9 through 12 my
kids are here too all my kids are here
they’re working all my kids my daughter
is singing my sons are working in the in
the various capacities in the cafe and
everything is just amazing this is a god
thing everybody that can work works my
daughter my daughter mackynzie was
working doing some stuff I just I just
think God how many of us know if you get
saved then you just stick with it and
you keep praying and you keep a line and
God will bless and save your whole house
no blessing to save your whole house
Genesis 1:1 through 2 then I’ll skip
down to verse 9 through 12 and then
we’re going to go to proverbs chapter 34
Irene verse three and four there and it
will go to Luke chapter two verse 52
here we go that’s a lotta I’ll tie it
all together I promise if you pray for
me in the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth the earth was
without form and void and darkness was
on the face of the deep and the Spirit
of God was hovering over the face of the
waters there was nothing there at first
except the Spirit hovering can I just
give you something for free sometimes
something looks like nothing and you
might be in a situation where where you
are believing God for a transformation
you’re believing God for manifestation
and you’ll find yourself in any moment
of upgrade you will find yourself where
it seems like you have nothing and I
want you to know I want you to hear this
clearly no matter where you are no
matter what you’re going through and
maybe a devoid of strength it may be
devoid a resource it may be devoid of
something that you need something that
you need and I hear God saying no matter
where you are what you’re going through
my spirit is hovering over you Basia my
spirit the spirit the spirit the Spirit
of God hovers over empty places the
Spirit of God hovers over void places
that fear to God Hubbard’s hovers over
that which has no form because the
Spirit of God is going to brief form
into those things are you tracking with
me sometimes you have
vision but you have no form and you’re
trying to figure out how will this ever
be what God showed me and I hear God’s
saying it’s not going to happen by your
own mind it’s not gonna happen by your
own strip it’s gonna happen by the
Spirit of God it’s gonna happen by the
breath of the Living Savior and God is
hovering me – hallelujah and the Spirit
of God was hovering over the face of the
waters then God said let the waters
under the heavens be gathered together
into one place and let the dry land
appear and it was so that’s important
I’m gonna come back to that later then
God said let the waters under the
heavens be gathered together to one
place and that the dry land appear and
it was so God said it and it was so he
said it was so and then verse 10 it says
and God called the dry land earth so God
said ultimately let the earth be and it
was so and the gathering together of the
waters he called seas and God saw that
it was good in verse 11 it says then God
said let the earth bring forth let it
bring forth let the earth bring forth
the herb that yields seed and the fruit
tree that yields fruit according to its
kind whose seed is in itself on the
earth and it was so a whole lot of salt
God said and everything God says is so
right but then in verse 12 it gets even
a little more interesting and said then
the earth brought forth so when God said
it it was so but then and it says and
the earth brought forth they brought
forth and the earth brought forth grass
that yields the seeds seed according to
its kind in a tree that yields fruit
whose seed is in itself according to its
kind and God saw that it was good so
when I said it it was so but when it was
brought forth that’s when it became good
just we’re gonna put a bookmark in that
proverbs chapter 24 verse 3 and 4 the
Bible says through wisdom a house is
built and by understanding it is
established and by knowledge the rooms
are filled with all precious
and pleasant riches Luke 2:52 and Jesus
increased in wisdom in stature and in
favor with God and man our thought for
today we’re going to go on a journey
based on this thought today our thought
is becoming a producer come on somebody
tell your neighbor I’m a producer I’m a
producer come on come on say it like you
mean it I’m a producer I’m a producer
I’m a producer if you are able to and if
you don’t mind grab your neighbors hand
if you don’t want to that’s cool with it
because sometimes is it like that you
don’t I mean that’s okay just touch him
nod and let them know you’re in
agreement but if you can grab their hand
nobody’s judging either way spirit of
the Living God we honor you we bless you
we acknowledge that we can do nothing
without you nothing moves outside of
your spirit and so God even as I touch
my neighbor’s hand right now I’m putting
my knees to the side just for a moment
and I’m asking Holy Spirit that you
would touch my neighbor right now God
some have come from a long way for this
touch and so god I pray even in this
moment right now that you would be that
you would allow me to be your touch in
my neighbour’s life lord I thank you for
the spirit of wisdom and revelation and
insight and knowledge and prophecy and
full use of heavens resources to bring
words not just one word but words God
words may your words flow to every heart
and mind under the sound of my voice
here are watching via livestream Holy
Spirit just flow and just communicate
trews trews that break down every lie
choose that break yokes truths that heal
God truths that enlighten the eyes
throughs God that causes the eyes of our
understanding to be enlightened to the
extent that none of us would ever be the
same again men and women boys and girls
who was whoever is under the sound of my
voice may they get something God that
changes their lives
radically and the matchless name of
Jesus we pray amen amen
do me a favor give God a shout high-five
your neighbor
high-five your neighbor and you may be
seated as the spirit of God leads you
hallelujah glory to God I feel something
happening in here I’ve got to tell you
something that happened to me recently
I’ve got to tell you something that
happened to me recently recently I was
in a very successful person’s home and I
had the privilege a wildly accessible
successful human being I had the
privilege of being in their home and and
their home was amazing it was a
sprawling estate and and the art in the
home was absolutely incredible expensive
incredible and amazing and just just
wonderful and and and you walked through
the home and there are these artifacts
of the goodness of God and all these
artifacts of opulent sin and there were
awards and and various things that
really said that this is a life
well-lived than a and a life of great
accomplishment achievement and success
it was amazing and I was just looking at
the house and I’m marveled at the house
and I marveled at the yard and I
marveled at all those things and then
all of a sudden I stopped looking at the
things and I started looking at the
person because and I know it was by the
Spirit of the Lord because as I sat
there and I looked at the person I
realize that everything that was outside
of him was in him I got to say that
better I got to say that better so you
can get it at first
I’m marveled at what was outside of him
what he had amassed but then all of a
sudden my focus was redirected from the
stuff to the man because the Lord just
showed me that that all those things
that you see were actually in him he
just found a way to get out of him what
was in him oh you’re gonna get it today
he go
you are gonna get it you’re gonna get it
today I’m gonna get this fly today – and
I hate flies I don’t know the devil is
angry belzebub Lord of the Flies I bind
you rebuke you hit the mighty and
matchless name of Jesus Christ you will
not distract me ignore them your sons
and daughters your daughters in
particular are going to get this word
from heaven it’s gonna be absolutely
wonderful and life-changing they’re
gonna say through God I can run through
troops and leap over a wall if that’s
your testimony if you’re not leaving
here empty if you gonna lay hold of
everything for which God has laid hold
on you let me eat your best shot
[Applause]
hallelujah come on somebody we in passed
the saris conference we don’t blame with
no devils and demons come on somebody
cuz I look I got a bruised heel too in
Jesus name
come on somebody we gotta eat them
snakes if you get one of them snakes I
want you to if you find one we wanted
snakes I just want to put it under my
foot in front of the people today glory
to God I looked I stopped looking at the
stuff and then I looked at the man and
it was like the Holy Spirit said that is
a large individual oh I feel it right
there that’s a large person
some of you are bigger than you think
you are you have more in you than you
know and I’m convinced that this
gentleman and even like the Oprah’s of
the world and even like the sayers of
the world I’m convinced that they didn’t
always know what was there but
throughout their journey they got
inspired a little bit and dared to act
and to move on that inspiration I
stopped looking at the stuff and I
looked at him and I said who are you
because all the things that I saw came
out of him over the course of his life
are we tracking together does turn to
neighbors say I’m a producer I’m a
producer I’m a producer
they learned this is what the great
people share in common I’m talking my
people who are great in God somehow
someway they learned how to get what was
in them now
here’s the crazy thing you and I were
created to bring forth that that is the
natural order of what it means to be a
human being a human being literally has
been designed to bring forth let’s go to
Genesis let’s go back Genesis you don’t
get this you don’t get this you get this
you get this in Genesis when it says in
the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth and the earth was formed
and without boy when we skip down to
verse 9 what you’re going to see that is
pretty interesting is that we’re going
to see the male and female attributes of
God on display before God even uses the
word male or female y’all stay with me
watch this i’ma show you male and i’ma
show you female what we know just based
on Anatomy is the man is the initiator
he’s initiated we just as there’s no
sexual okay he don’t get quiet on me
because that’s not a foreign topic to
two or three of you in your glory to God
the most of that
I know judgment this is called humanity
okay look at me all funny don’t do that
yeah I start prophesied over you just
you know but even as it relates to
intercourse the man is the initiator
right even even his sperm and he
initiates what will be produced so the
male aspect of God is going to be good
today
the male aspect of God is that which
initiates starts or begins the female
aspect of God is she brings forth hmm
you understand what I’m saying
so so so the natural educates us on the
spiritual so so what’s interesting about
God is we call God he but really God is
just as much she as God is e y’all not
ready for that you church folks ain’t
ready without you ready for that he says
let us make man in our image and in our
likeness and then we looked up and he
causes meant mankind to be male and
female so the likeness of God is not
male and the likeness of God is not
female the likeness of God is both you
now ready you ain’t ready so when we we
get caught up in semantics because
because if we were created the image of
God and the image of God expressly is
male and female how do we shift in to
become he God does not have he parts he
is spirit which means that there is a
spiritual aspect of God that relates to
male and a spiritual aspect of God that
relates to female and that’s why when
the manifestation of man was just man
God said that ain’t good is it anything
good
that’s that’s not fullness are you
tracking with me and so right there in
the text I think what’s amazing is we’re
going to see male and female via the
idea of initiator versus produce her
before we even go male and female we see
it in verse nine he says then God said
let the waters under the heavens be
gathered together into one place and let
the dry land appeared God says this
right and it was so so when God says
something it is so that is the
initiation male and then when we jump
down to verse 12 and it says then the
earth brought forth grass etc that is
the female can I talk to you like this
we don’t go on the journey there I
promise this won’t bless your life but I
want to lay some some groundwork there
are you tracking with me so so God is
that male aspect of God is to start
something but the amazing thing is what
God starts is established there’s a
passage of scripture that says that
God’s Word is settled in heaven what we
have to do is learn how to get what is
settled in heaven into the earth realm
so you see God has said something about
you but you’re trying to figure it out
it says and God said and when God said
it it was so but there was a process to
bring it forth and so what in you what
you and I are doing as we live out this
life is we are trying to wrap our minds
around what God said about me God what
are you what did you say about me that I
don’t know about me
I’m trying to figure myself out because
if I’m alive and I’m breathing that
means that I need to steal I still got
some producing in me that word bring
forth when it says in the earth brought
forth it’s only used two times in the
Bible there and in Joel 2 in the context
of restoration and I just want to slide
in there
inspiration to two or three people in
this room right now there’s a
restoration coming to about two or three
people in here right now
and it’s going to happen through your
ability to become a producer I came to
shake some stuff loose today because you
are a producer that’s who you’re called
to be and I must show you my garlic how
to produce something anybody come to get
pregnant in this house today anybody
come to get stirred up you believe that
there’s something on the inside of you
and you want it to come out come on
somebody anybody’s baby
leapin since this conference started
you’ve been feeling bumps in your womb
not in your womb checking in your the
baby is coming the baby I feel it the
baby is coming the baby is coming we
didn’t come here to inspire you we came
here to impregnate you
the baby is coming come there’s some
things in you and it is natural what’s
this it’s natural for you to produce and
unnatural for you to not it is I want
you to see this right because I didn’t
come to teach you how to produce I came
to show you how to not not produce
because the natural flow God said earth
do this boom and the earth did it that
is the natural flow you are supposed to
naturally produce but the thing that the
earth had the thing that you have that
the earth didn’t have was an element of
sabotage
the earth didn’t have contention you
have you have contention the earth that
the earth that the time had it easier
than you have it and now you have to
overcome the things that sabotage fill
the Lord you gotta you gotta you got to
overcome something but but understand
that watch this
you’re supposed to bring things forth
that the baby process is beautiful as
amazing as that is is again the natural
pointing to the spiritual you supposed
to birth stuff that that until you die
I bet the great I bet I’m just thinking
about over right now but but I like
Sarah more I saw me you Sarah I just
like I bet that every once in a while
when she looks around and she looks at
her life and she’s just getting started
this is just gonna start but even still
but even still I bet every once in
awhile she looks around and she looks at
her life as she looks at how God has
blessed her I bet I bet every once in a
while she does two things one marvels at
the fact that that was in her but then
marvels at what yet what may steal
beyond in the side of her see this thing
gets good watch this when you learn how
to not not produce when you learn how to
overcome the things that keep you from
not producing it is not trying to figure
out how to produce I promise you that’s
not it
that’s the wrong class you will
naturally produce when you get a line
with God and when you discover the
things that hinder what should be
natural can I go deeper
can I go further that’s where song or
proverbs rather 24 comes in proverbs 24
I love this I think that this is a
proverb about life he’s talking about a
house but in the scripture of the house
is oftentimes used to describe a life or
family and so I want you to I want you
to see this because I believe this
proverb is about life but but even more
specifically it’s about how our lives
are supposed to evolve and what happens
when they do
there is this evolution that’s supposed
to take place in our lives and I believe
that that this evolution that proverbs
24 and 3 is going to talk about is going
to show you how to combat not
non-producing let’s go for it so if we
go back to Psalm or two prior keep
saying Psalm 24 what is Psalm 24 say I
make a look at it later maybe that’s
what somebody you read it that’d be your
homework you just read and memorize
Psalm 24 and let it let it bless you
Psalm 24 and I keep doing it how am i
messing around put it up there in a
minute
I’m curious bring me some water proverbs
24 and three it says by wisdom a house
is built we’re talking about identifying
the sabotages overcoming the things that
keep us from producing if I can overcome
what keeps me from producing our produce
naturally you don’t have to get
permission to age you just naturally age
come on somebody you don’t have to get
permission to grow older you just grow
older you don’t have to get the gray
does not have to get permission to show
up in your head it just does it just it
does and so so I believe that when we
get aligned and when we learn to
overcome the things that keep us from
producing there’s going to be a natural
evolution that will bring us to a place
of constant and consistent production
tell your neighbor again I’m a producer
so it starts off with wisdom it says
that wisdom builds the house now here’s
a reason why I believe that that the the
great wise Solomon is talking about
wisdom first because I think that the
chief sabotager of Destiny is ignorance
it’s ignorance you you just don’t know
who you are and as long as you don’t
know who you are you can never pursue or
even qualify what belongs to you and
I’ll tell you right now I’ll tell you
right now even as it relates to to
ignorance one of the the chief culprits
of ignorance is environment can I take
my time the environment let me tell you
something the the the lack of exposure
is lethal
it is absolutely lethal because in some
environments you will never be told who
you are are you tracking with me that
this is a real real big thing it’s such
a big thing that when God is getting
ready to shape Abraham when he’s getting
ready to put his hands on him and lead
him into destiny what he’s getting ready
to do that the first thing that he tells
Abraham is imma need you to get up out
of your father’s house the first thing
he does is he challenges Abraham to
change his environment that’s why I’m so
glad a few thousand of you came to
Denver Colorado I believe that that
sometimes in your own environment you
don’t get to hear who you are come on
somebody it’s the same stuff different
day you got a whole bunch of people that
think that they know you but they don’t
know you they think that you’re like
them but you’re not like them because if
you would like them
they’d be sitting next to you got to
shift the environment because I’m gonna
be straight up with you some of you are
too big for the environment that you’re
trying to grow in I’m just gonna be
honest with you I’m just gonna be honest
with you and it doesn’t mean you’re
better than anybody we’re mature it is
not that it has nothing to do with that
it just has to do with your capacity and
the capacity of the environment I can’t
grow beyond my environment come on
somebody so you gotta get out of your
father’s house and away from your
country this is what God tells Abraham
he says he says get out of your father’s
house and from your country and from
your kinfolk sometimes he says unto a
land that I will show you and he says
and what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna bless
you and I’m gonna make your knife field
God
I’m gonna make your name great some
things are not gonna happen until you
are big enough and bad enough and bold
enough to make them go I figure make a
move make a move my whole life I’ve been
making moves my whole every upgrade of
my life had to do with the move that I
made where my people you say you know
what I’m determined
to produce something and if I’ve got to
move in order to do it i’ma move
[Applause]
environments let me tell you some um be
straight up with you and our churches we
have members but I don’t do members
membership is not a requirement and one
of the reasons for me while wisdom is
not a requirement or scuse me membership
is not a requirement is because if you
got to go I don’t want you to think that
you have to come and get my permission
[Music]
good good Reverend can if you don’t mind
I uh I didn’t need you to release me
would you mind can you just wait a
minute if God called you
[Applause]
leave right but leave I don’t want to
hear if God wants your sake my whole
ship come on Jonah it’s not called you
to go you better go and if you stay too
long there’s gonna be trouble are you
tracking with me I don’t want you good
to have to come and get permission from
me
Who am I if God called you I’ll bless
you I’ll anoint you might put some money
in your hands but you better go sink my
ship I’ll be wondering what’s going on
lot of money is funny on this kind of
stuff go environment will keep you
ignorant someone you had to come all the
way to Denver Colorado to get a word
about who you are but I think godless
I’m hungry women in the house of God
I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find
myself if you call me where my desperate
people you say God I need to find myself
[Applause]
[Music]
can I do anything for it
I’m desperate to find me if I gotta go
to Timbuktu to get a word do you go
there how bad do you want it come on
somebody I want to feel your hunger how
bad do you wanna know how bad do you
wanna know who you are come on somebody
like I see some opossum all that’s in
here saying forget
reaching forward
it already stopped pressing toward the
mark
I came to the mountains to give my word
come on somebody I can to the high place
to give my word because I’ve got too big
around
Hey
of that which God has laid hold on me
has God laid hold on anybody in here I’m
trying to grasp what I’ve been grasp for
[Applause]
trying to grasp it Who am I
because if I don’t know who I am I
cannot be a producer
[Applause]
I’ll make the change
I’ll make the shift I’ll leave the job
I’ll start the business
I’ll make the move I’ll take the step of
faith I’ll shake loose the crew that
brings out the worst in me I don’t want
to be a freak no more
I don’t want to be a fool no mo that’s
better
I don’t want to be that anymore watch
this I don’t want to be afraid anymore I
don’t want to bow the knee to idols
anymore I don’t want to do that anymore
I want to be everything that God has
created me to be wisdom builds the house
because wisdom combats ignorance and
ignorance will get you someone you
simply put it washes and ignorance is
not a cuss word Paul wrote I would that
you would not be ignorant ignorance is
actually normal at first
ignorance means without knowledge one of
the reasons why you got to shake your
environment sometimes is because we just
pass all knowledge the same knowledge we
regurgitate and recirculate the same old
knowledge the same old songs the same
old stuff and all that’s wonderful but
you just got to know that it will keep
you trapped in that subculture that’s
why we switch up the music come on
somebody will go from Hillsong the God’s
gonna turn it around on you the lack of
exposure is lethal it’s nothing to play
with and that’s why he told Abraham to
get out of his father’s house I didn’t
mean to go there with that some
environments I know I said it but I said
it when I was happy I want you to get
this some environments aren’t big enough
to manifest you’re big
they’re too small sometimes what’s in
you is too big for what you’re in did
you understand what I said sometimes
what is in you is too big for what you
are in that’s why environment is
everything because I cannot become in an
environment that does not have the
capacity for me and so you’ve got to
break out you got to break out and so
wisdom is critical but wisdom is just
the beginning it’s as a relates to the
evolution of a life wisdom is just the
start that’s why I said it says wisdom
builds the house and then it goes on and
talked about two other phases wisdom if
you’re taking those wisdom wisdom is
just the priming of potentiality it is
just the crowning of it it is the
priming of it it is it is just the
beginning that you’ve got to have it you
can’t build your life without wisdom but
it is just the beginning
wisdom will start you but it won’t take
you all the way there or we track it
together some of you have built your
house it’s to start it’s a wonderful
start your eyes are open you you realize
it’s your time you’ve heard the call you
plugged into to woman Eve all but before
that you were plugged in a woman Thou
Art Loosed hello somebody so your house
is being built but now you have to
actually evolve and that’s where the
real works begin because there’s another
level after wisdom wisdom builds the
house but what establishes the house is
understanding
can we talk about understanding for just
a second at the end of the day coming
into understanding is really about
character hey yeah it’s really it’s
about character understanding is when
you have answers to questions that you
once didn’t even know you needed to ask
hey can we grow up today can we grow up
to them can we grow can we grow I don’t
want to to excite you without
establishing you because if inspiration
inspiration without transformation is
futile are you tracking with me I didn’t
come to inspire you I came to change
your life
don’t don’t don’t tell me I preach good
I appreciate that compliment that saw
you feel what I want to hear you say if
you mean it is you changed my life
that’s the mark for me
anybody can inspire you go down to Chuck
E Cheese and get inspired I’m trying to
change your life understanding is when
you’ve come to this place where you have
learned to ask yourself the deeper
evasive questions
the elusive questions and through that
process you’ve found precious answers
that change your life see when you come
to understanding you start asking
yourself why do I do this
so you see most people don’t look that
deeply into life most people are not
self-aware they just they just they just
function but they’re not self-aware so
when you come to this place it’s this
level of understanding it’s not just
what I do
but it’s why do I do it why did that
hurt me like it hurt me why do I keep
falling into these same patterns
and rhythms that’s understanding can we
go further when you graduate into
understanding it forces you to ask tough
questions like this have I faced my
giants I’m gonna take my time right up
in here see in order to to move to a
place where your life is established
you’re gonna have to go into this this
level of understanding and this level of
understanding makes you ask the question
and be serious is there a giant at loose
in my life that I’m afraid to confront I
feel the Holy Ghost can I be a good
teacher can I be like a fake doctor I
need a Philips or something like that
like a fake therapist right now see
they’re giants in your life that you
have to subdue in order to move forward
Wow can I just talk to you for real and
a giant is daunting because a giant is
something that seems bigger than you it
was bigger than your mama and it was
bigger than your daddy and it’s bigger
than everybody in your neighborhood and
it talks you and there’s a part of you
that knows that it’s the thing holding
you back
but there is a fear and sometimes even
an element of shame I don’t I don’t want
to even look at it
I’d rather pretend it’s not there and do
business as usual but the reality of it
is you cannot be established until you
kill your Giants David was not
established Goliath established David
you’re quiet today praise God I came to
get about 1,700 people free in God’s
house today let’s go further let’s go
further in his giant business I feel
like I struck a nerve which means i’ma
stay there for a minute
what you don’t kill will perpetually
confront you oh let’s dig into this and
you can’t kill what you won’t confront
what if I was anointed to kill the giant
and all I had to do was face it what if
that thing that is daunting it scares
you to even to look at it is frightening
but what if you already have the victory
over it it’s just a matter if you step
into it let’s go further I’ll tell you
right now the facing your giant
necessitates vulnerability you got to be
vulnerable you got it you got to get
past the the shame man I didn’t mean to
go this deep in this one you have to get
past the shame and the embarrassment so
that you can get what you need some
giants necessitate you being open and
honest to someone who can help you feel
holy goes you got to say I’ve been
trouble because you know what we do we
like to have it all together we like to
look like we got all together but
there’s a monster in the background of
our lives that is constantly robbing us
every time you take one step forward
that thing pulls you two step backwards
and that giant I’m gonna be straight up
with you there’s a giant outside this
church saying you can be in there all
day long if you want to you know what
being you God you know you scared of me
come on somebody I got you by the hand
I’m serious the giant will drop you off
at church
giant driving your over enjoy you’ll be
back
I see you what time to session over I’ll
see you in a minute but you have to get
to a place where you say Who I am is too
important to be proper fooling around
with you I don’t want just half of what
I could have had I want everything that
God said when he called my name all I
feel the Lord when you call my name
before the foundation of the art God I
want everything that was in my name
someone you don’t even know your name
but I hear the Spirit of God calling you
by your true name today oh I feel God
see your identity is connected to what
is in you when God calls Abraham in fact
when God called Abraham before God
officially changed his name he had given
his name by what he would do he said
Abraham you’re going to be a father of
Nations in other words there are nations
where on the inside of you right so then
when he produced and manifests what God
said God changed his name he said no
longer will you be called Abram you
shall be called Abraham but see he
called them Abraham when he called him
to do what he called him to do you have
to allow this is important you have to
allow what God calls you to do to define
you that’s the only way to know your
name if you tell me i’ma take my city
then that’s my name if you tell me imma
take this nation
then that’s my name if you tell me I’m a
man of Estes business and it’s gonna be
like no other business why not you there
is no one born that had more than what
you have oh you don’t like that you
don’t like that because they don’t know
I grew up in these circumstances
so did Oprah so the bishop takes so
December and to a certain degree so did
I why not you why not you start the next
text company tech company why not you
start the next network do I have any
crazy faith in God’s house today what
not to be the next don’t change up why
not and here’s the thing you don’t know
what’s in you so you gotta keep swinging
at it you gotta keep going at it you
gotta keep beating what’s feeding you
[Applause]
what’s your name what’s your name I
don’t think your name is the name that
your mama gave you I don’t think your
name is the name that your daddy gave
you what’s your name
and you got to keep swinging at it until
you figure it out
understanding it’s about character I’ll
fight that giant because in my name that
giant is slain before I got here God
placed the victory over every giant in
my life before I got here in other words
I have been pre-qualified to triumph
over everything that comes again I feel
the Lord that comes against me I got I
got I gotta move along I got
got to move along you start asking
yourself questions when you’ve come to a
place of understanding have you faced
your giants have you killed the the
spirit of procrastination and excuse
making let me tell you right now
procrastination and greatness don’t go
hand in hand they not they not they not
they not they’re not friends they don’t
they don’t mix they don’t they don’t mix
because because procrastination suggests
that that life is on your schedule
[Music]
[Applause]
procrastination procrastination says
I’ve got time
Bishop Rosie O’Neil says something
profound y’all know her she says
something profound the other day at
bishops conference she said I’m probably
gonna say it wrong but you’ll get the
gist she said she said procrastination
is the arrogant assumption that God will
give you another chance in the future to
do something he called you to do today
[Applause]
[Music]
procrastination doesn’t take into
account this thing called time right now
times ticking right now right now and so
maturity understanding is maturity we
don’t see that in a second but maturity
makes you start asking yourself some
hard questions am I even qualified for
what I’ve asked them for have I killed
the spirit of procrastination
I kind of believe it’s the spirit I
really do I ain’t a demon but I’m just
I’m out of spirit you don’t mean it’s
like a lazy spirit it’s just it’s just
it’s just so you start asking about
procrastination if you’re in business
you start asking yourself have I grown
in leadership
did you know you actually have to be a
good leader and not just an entrepreneur
you have to learn how to motivate people
and build people you can’t because of
people out and going off on people but
you have to speak to them and nourish
them and pull out the best and you know
that that sometimes it’s not about
firing a person it’s about putting them
in a different and if you are the one
having conflict with everybody in your
company the common denominator is – can
I talk to you a little bit see
understanding will make you start asking
these type of questions you start asking
questions of yourself and my whole say
you have to become something to produce
something am I have I prepared for what
God promised preparation says to God
that you believe what he said prophet
Isaiah told her till the barren woman
enlarge the place of your dwelling
some of you I love you I swear I swear
the Lord I love you some of you haven’t
made room for what God promised and
you’re mad at God and you’re frustrated
and God is saying I’m too big for the
space that you created for me so so
preparation says I believe what God said
I love pastor Josiah stepping out on
faith and doing his confidence don’t do
it in his church and he just said God
spoke to him and said no it’s bigger
than that and he stepped out on facing a
faith and all kind of money and stuff
like that it caused and all dealing with
the city and all these sort of things I
so respect you for that man because that
says to God I have finally found some
body who will build me a place to do
[Applause]
mmm-hmm top my understanding we got it
we got it we got a we got to grow up
what what do I need to get out of my
default settings because I automatically
go here and when you walk with God
oftentimes it is all about a
reprogramming of your default settings
are you tracking with me let me run
through these these these are the types
of questions what do I need to unlearn
what what lie do I need to overturn that
has been subconsciously shaping my
perception of self and what I do it’s
time for understanding and let me tell
you another thing another sign of
understanding which is maturity is
consistency I can do it but only for a
little while consistency that’s when
you’ve come to a place of understanding
you’re not like children tossed to and
fro see wisdom will build the house but
understanding is different understanding
is about character and it’s about
integrity and that’s what causes you to
be here to stay there are many people
who were wise that got to the top and
fell because in the process of getting
wise they didn’t get understanding
see wisdom is knowing what to do
understanding is knowing you better do
what you know to do but yet and still
there’s another level are we together so
wisdom wisdom builds the house
understanding establishes the house it’s
my character it’s Who I am
underneath it is what I like to call
what’s under the hood oh I feel the Lord
and the third level there and there’s
the final stage of its evolution and
it’s a cycle so you never arrive
the final stage of this evolution of
life and of self is knowledge knowledge
what is what is knowledge not knowledge
is the foliage of character it is it is
it is see that proverbs 31 woman I love
that proverbs 31 woman you don’t see
ones that I love the proverbs 31 woman I
talked about last year but she is not
what people think people think she just
just sweet as candy just all her life
made all the right decisions and waited
until she got married and that’s
wonderful praise God I got daughters so
praise the Lord I just wonderful thank
you Jesus hallelujah glory to God I
ain’t knocking it at all not even a
little bit but that wasn’t her proverbs
31 woman she had been through some stuff
and I won’t go into it too deep but she
and in fact most theologians believe and
I think is easy to deduce that this was
Bathsheba who was that proverbs 31 woman
and as funny we look at her life we look
at her life and and we want it but do
you really want it but the beautiful
thing about the proverbs 31 woman not to
belabor the point the beautiful thing
about the problem story woman is she
have foilage what is foilage is the
extra stuff it says by wisdom a house is
built through understanding it’s
established it says but through
knowledge its chambers are filled with
rare and precious treasures but that’s
that’s fullness that that is the
manifestation of everything I’ve seen
you see some of you are in different
stages of what I’m talking about some of
you you just got wizard you just getting
started and your house is built and
that’s wonderful but you’ve got to keep
going you got to continue to evolve now
maybe you got to work on your insides
hello somebody
maybe you got to work when you can
listen even Jesus even Jesus had to grow
see remember that passes the scripture
that I brought up a Luke 2:52 what
fascinates it says it says Jesus grew in
wisdom and in
stature and in favor with God and man
just before that is the story of when he
was in the temple and he had so much
wisdom in the temple that he’s actually
talking to the lawyers and he’s talking
to the educated people and there are
amazed and astonished at him but God
still didn’t put him on yet you got to
catch what I just said he was with the
scholars at the time and he was full of
wisdom and they were amazed at his
wisdom but God still didn’t put him on
yet it says after that from 12 to 30 it
said and Jesus put look 252 up there it
says and Jesus grew watch this you might
see something and Jesus grew in wisdom
stature and in favor with God and with
man
Weymouth does three things – okay so
wait wisdom builds the house
understanding establishes the house and
knowledge is the reward of all of that
and it causes the house to be filled
with treasure and precious jewels the
finest of things that’s our journey
that’s us then it says Jesus he grew his
journey of evolution was that he grew in
wisdom stature all right hold up what is
stature
maturity study even Jesus matured even
Jesus had to grow and develop this the
wisdom was the seed it was the beginning
it was the the outer constructs of the
house but even he God said no not yet
even Jesus had to mature so let’s look
at that so on us we’ve got wisdom we’ve
got understanding and we got knowledge
and we’ll get it all the whole enchilada
through that progression are you
tracking with me we together Jesus who
is our example has the same journey he
grew in wisdom and stature that is
maturity and the reward for that was he
grew in favor with God and with man the
spirit told me something as I was
preparing for this message it says when
Jesus evolves and he grew it unlocked
favor not only with God but also with
man which means that if you do not
become you cannot attract the right
people that are assigned to your life I
gotta say that better
me and my wife would not have worked had
we not come to at least a certain place
of understanding oh I feel the Holy
Ghost we wouldn’t worked our brokenness
would have caused us to bounce off of
each other and go in opposite directions
instead of growing and and blending
together I talked about in the message I
preached well I don’t want the right
thing too soon
[Applause]
what I’m gonna do is I’m a keep on
becoming because if I keep on becoming
everything that is assigned to me God
will attract to me I gotta land this
plane
Atlanta’s plane but can we go a little
further Jesus walked the same thing out
so I’m talking about character and
character is it tough it’s a tough
conversation it’s a tough conversation
because and the reason why it’s tough is
at the end of the day you asking
questions I think the average person who
asks question how do I become what I’m
not how do I become what I’m not and not
only am I not it my mama wasn’t it and
my grandmama wasn’t it and my daddy
wasn’t it and everybody in my
neighborhood wasn’t it in fact I’ve
never seen it before
how do I can we just have a real
conversation here how do i how do I
become what I have not seen I got one
answer you do so by this person called
the helper you do it by the Holy Spirit
here hear me hear me hear me you got to
understand this you got to understand
who the Holy Spirit is and what his job
is the Holy Spirit is the only one in
this life that sees you right you pay
attention again pages all day pay
attention here but the Holy Spirit he’s
called in the scripture the Spirit of
Truth that word truth literally means
without ignorance so the Holy Spirit the
truth of the Holy Spirit has perfect
knowledge there is no ignorance in the
Holy Spirit past present or future
that’s why we can allow the Holy Spirit
to lead us because the Holy Spirit knows
what’s around the corner
hello somebody you’d be saying no I need
to go down holy pissin you don’t see
that pothole right there I’m telling you
I know the lane looks clear the dealers
in front of you everything looks good on
paper but something on the inside says
you’re in a relationship with someone
and everything lives it looks good on
paper but the Holy Spirit says if
sometimes the reason why the Holy Spirit
does that watch this is because the Holy
Spirit knows who the person will become
you know who the person is or who they
are purporting to be the Holy Spirit
knows who they will be the moment you
give them a degree of access to you can
I just throw that in there for free
so so when we’re dealing with the Holy
Spirit when we’re dealing with the Holy
Spirit we’re dealing with perfect
knowledge perfect knowledge and the Holy
Spirit sees who you really are that word
that was translated helper Parakletos
and the Greek it literally means
advocate and I wish I had about 30 more
minutes with you it literally it
literally means advocate so the Holy
Spirit is your personal advocate he is
your destiny advocate before God and
puts you in your mother’s womb God knew
you so the Holy Spirit knows the you
that you’re trying to get to he sees you
right okay how do I become what I’ve
never seen how do I I live life at this
level of integrity when I don’t even
feel it I don’t even how do you even do
that how do you stop doing this how do
you start doing that watch this let’s
keep it 100
that’s not even me the study with me and
the reality of it is you don’t even know
who you are I got take my time right in
here because I think that this is where
we need to get to there’s not even
something I do it it’s not even
something I move towards that’s not even
how and God says and yet there is
another you and yet there is another you
that you are constantly meeting in the
secret place you know let me let me tell
you what the main benefit of worship is
the main benefit of worship is to see
yourself properly are you not ready for
that can I have some real spiritual
people in here you’re like how do I see
myself when I worship what Colossians 3
up there I didn’t put it in my notes but
it.we I wonder can I just help two or
three people just just for a second I
didn’t put up there but let me tell you
what Colossians 3 says Colossians 3
beginning at verse 1 says this I’m just
gonna tell you he says since you have
been raised if in you were raised with
Christ seek those things which are above
right so so first of all understand
what’s happening he is saying that you
are raised with Christ so there is a you
that is there come on that there’s a
perfect at you there’s a you that’s
walking out perfection walking out the
process of being perfected and there’s a
you in Christ that already is oh you’re
gonna get this today
so so so you only know that you that you
are you only know that you that’s
struggling and trying to figure it out
and walking it out and you got issues
and you’re trying to do this and how am
I gonna break this yo and that’s the
phone cuz that’s to you that you’ve been
exposed to both in your life but there
is another year that God saw before he
put you in your mother’s womb and that
you does not have issues that you does
not have heart up but that you does not
have struggles that you was not insecure
come on somebody that you was not broken
that you was not needy so what you are
trying to do is to get back to you so so
worship true worship is always vertical
it’s always vertical why because I’m
trying to get to that you watch this
watch this
it says if then you were raised with
Christ seek those things which are above
isn’t that what we do when we worship we
start celebrating God and the best way
to worship watch this is to align
yourself with the worship service that’s
already taking place in heaven right now
if you study revelations 4 and 5 I’m
gonna teach you today if you study
revelations 4 and 5
it speaks of this incredible worship
service with their angels around the
throne and their elders and they’re
saying holy holy holy is the Lord God
Almighty the whole earth is full of his
glory that’s happening right now and the
reason why we feel like we’ve left the
building when we get deep in worship is
because we have aligned ourselves with
the worship service that’s happening in
heaven
we experience the glory that’s why you
can’t worship thinking about your boo
[Applause]
I’m looking up so it says if then you
were raised with Christ seek those
things which are above where Christ is
sitting at the right hand of God isn’t
that what you do when you worship you’re
seeing the throne right and then if we
keep going it says it says in verse 2 if
they keep it all beautiful then it says
set your mind my dad talked about levels
of worship in service a couple of
Sundays ago at the potter’s house Dallas
but their levels to it because because
you seek but then you go deeper in
worship and you set your mind that’s
when you have entered into a place where
there are no longer distractions and
you’re not thinking about carnal things
and you’re not praying for houses and
booze and money because silver and gold
you don’t need
rather you pass through something
well you don’t care about how skinny you
are you don’t care about how fly you’re
looking you don’t care about nothing you
are overwhelmed with the presence and
the glory of the team of keys in his
presence there is fullness of joy you
are pressed into something and you
realize that you don’t need nothing but
him do I have any people in God’s house
and you come to a place oh that need is
at the end of the day you are the one
thing that I desire you will never leave
me nor forsake me you know my risings
have my down sittings yet you still love
me when you gonna find that axe I’m
crazy about my wife but I can’t give her
that like that
you seek me you set your mind pass
through something so glad the Binion’s
taught on worship yesterday and he says
set your mind on things above not on
things on the earth now watch this it
says in verse 3 it says for you died
what you remember I told you that were
too young as you go deeper in the
reality of the fact that the old Jew is
dead stop giving blood
to what God has killed
are you breathing you died if any man is
in Christ he’s a new creature old things
have passed away behold all things
become new but here’s what I’m getting
at it says for you died and your life so
one of you died but there is another one
of you and I love it because this one of
you it is hidden with Christ in God
preserved reserved untouched unscarred
unmade unbroken in our life suppose
tomorrow I’m trying I’m trying to I’m
trying to lay hold of that for which
it says for you died and your life is
hidden with Christ in God that’s where
you are but if you go to verse 4 watch
this this is why worship is where you
find yourself it says and when cry so
I’m seeking and when I see Christ when
Christ who is our life appears then you
will also then you also will appear with
him in glory now here is what we thought
that meant exclusively we thought that
met them when we die when we get to
glory there’s nothing about that passage
that would suggest that it’s saying that
when you access the presence in a deep
way and Jesus shows up and shows you his
face you lose your face in his face and
that is how transformation takes place
the more I see me the more I can be me I
see you strong I see you secure I see
you anointed I see you full of faith and
the advocate sees that version of you
and that advocate inspires you toward
that you because he sees that that’s why
grieving the Holy Spirit is a grief to
your destiny you’re not hurting God
you’re hurting you because the Holy
Spirit is only grieved when we are in
error the conviction of the Holy Spirit
is a gift
how do I become who I’ve never met
it’s by accepting Jesus real and
yielding to the Holy Spirit it would
change your life
can I tell you my story and I’ll be done
from from from 9 to 26 all I knew all I
knew about the faith is that if I died
that was going to heaven I thank God for
the Baptist Church praise loaf and about
the church what a wonderful foundation
to get but typically you gonna have to
move on typically not all the time
I know some incredible Baptist churches
but I think I’m and I think God can be
pretty accurate and say typically you
may have to at least expose yourself to
other things
at least all I knew was if I died I was
going to heaven which is a wonderful
thing to know my 16 years old when I got
shot that gave me a piece okay I knew
that if I got in trouble God would bail
me out and he did time and time again
but there was more I found out later
that there was more and so so my life up
to that point was me not realizing that
I was reciting my flesh it was supposed
to be dead when I got saved and there
was powered by the Spirit of the Lord
for it to be dead but I didn’t know what
ignorant sorry I said ignorance will get
you some because I figured well if I
said I like I do is ask forgiveness so
this must be the rhythm of life the
grace means you just saying and ask for
forgiveness and that’s how you debt
that’s know but that that’s fine it it’s
true that you can ask forgiveness but
there’s no transformation if there’s no
transformation
and so I was 26 and I was prospering in
every way externally but internally I
was not and I had an encounter with God
and God showed me revealed to me that
you can actually be who you’re trying to
be but you can’t do without me you can
actually be who you’re trying to be you
can actually be who you’re called to be
you just can’t do it without me right so
I look back over my life and I thought
about the goodness of God the grace God
from watch y’all this rough come on we
got to be from Watson I bless the Lord
thank you Jesus
yes come on somebody it just got real up
in here he got he carried me and he kept
me and I could have been dead when I was
16 SOT so he took me back over my life
and then did well in corporate America
six figures young man you’re not
supposed that snot supposed to be my
story and he took me back over my life
and he said that was me he wasn’t
because he was so smart that was my
grace but now I’m calling you you you
got wisdom but now I’m calling it to a
life of understanding and I had a
decision to make I had a decision to
make and the decision was to walk with
God not to ask God to walk with me
but like David put it
I turned my feet to his testimony’s and
when that happened he filled me with the
spirit
I’ve got baptized in the spirit without
even hands laid now I believe that hands
should be laid and I’m gonna lay hands
today maybe if pastor will allow me the
Spirit of God came over me and the point
that I’m making is there were things
that I could not say no teeth if it
showed up it was going down immediately
that in one encounter with the Holy
Spirit one encounter the things that had
me I finally for once in my life had it
do we had that snake put me one them

anyone who snakes quickly please click I
swear I swear this is what I felt and I
think this is gonna be a prophetic
symbol just somebody
and I remember praying I remember
praying and this thing had me staying at
me and and it will holding there was a
step and pastor Sarah alluded to it last
night there was a step I liked what had
me
[Music]
so there was one part of me that was one
part of me that was praying Lord taken
there was another part of me saying but
not tonight and even and even as I was
asking him i’ma tell you how crazy life
is even as I was asking him to take it I
was fantasizing about doing it again and
he didn’t take it then areand he didn’t
take it because I didn’t want it gone
bad enough Sara so I’m taking a step
forward in God and then that thing would
show up and I would fall back into it
and now I’m going back to God condemned
Here I am again Lord and I get the
courage and I feel washed and clean and
then I go back and that thing was show
up again and people to take me out and
finally I got to a point after a series
of this I got to a point to where I
actually begin to hate it and the reason
why I hated it is because I knew God was
trying to take me somewhere cuz I could
feel the lane opening up see don’t you
mess around and get her a vision of
where God is trying to take you don’t
you mess around and come to the potter’s
house in Denver Colorado you backs
around and come the woman he bought and
get a glimpse of how things could be
that was me and I remember family one
night and I was praying and I said Lord
I can’t do this by myself
I was honest
I said I can’t do this by myself I said
I want to be everything you called me to
be but this thing is getting in the way
man it was like it was like a game this
giant would show up and it would take me
down and I felt like a piece of bread go
and go to church – ray i’ma pick you up
at 12:45 I got you but this time family
this time I said god I don’t want this
no mom I don’t want this thing to have
this much power over me I want to be
strong I want to be a man of God and I
just believe that that you can do it and
I’m telling you as I was praying my
mother Oakley shot as I was praying God
gave me the image of an alligator of a
crocodile and as I stepped down on the
head of that thing it cracked like an
egg I feel that with somebody if this is
minister to your spirit I want you to
take your right foot or your left foot
right where you are bring it up
[Applause]
right something about people to come
[Music]
all somebody not seriously take about
come on I may not even need to lay hands
come on a break
come on don’t stop starting it just like
at 17
[Applause]
get free
in order to get free
get free
not today devil map tomorrow
never
hear me here is the testimony that’s God
is my witness I have never fallen like
that again it’s been 19 years it’s been
19 years 19 years and just that the
bloggers don’t get crazy
it was promiscuity for me hello somebody
I was a hope but not Nomos
and what’s crazy and what’s crazy is now
I realize that I had to get free so that
he can trust me with women not a scandal
not a one woman in any of our churches
kids say pastor came on to me pastor
slept with me I planted a church in
Hollywood I had to get free
I can’t be like it and change it so what
my God have for you now you not crushing
the head of the serpent it’s keeping you
from what time is ticking I want to pray
for you if you’re here baby come up here
if you’re here and you say pastor I did
not know where you were going
but I want you to pray for me see I
can’t give you what I don’t have but
what I have I give to you then men’s
spiritual sons of mine and they were
wild to me
they’ve been celebrate for years
good-looking brothers come on somebody
with plenty of options it’s easy to be
celibate when you ain’t got no options
[Applause]
I believe in the spirit of god let me
see my name on my towel bring it back
I need the Spirit of God I can’t do it
we told our churches the other day
because there’s two of me there’s two of
me
one of me looks like me talks like me
walks like me drives my same car lives
in my house and is married to Sara
uh-huh and I gotta kill that me I say
all the time every day I go on my prayer
closet two of us go in but only one
comes out I gotta kill that me because
that he kills me he kills everything to
sign to me if you hear and you say I
need that he was talking to me Petey I
need that I want you to come here it
ain’t weird it’s real if you’re here and
you don’t know the Lord yet just talking
to a precious person yesterday and this
individual said I I left Christianity
and she began to describe the reasons
why she left Christianity and all the
reasons watch this we’re love-based
reasons I don’t like the way to treat
people I don’t like the judgment and I
said oh baby you didn’t leave
Christianity I said you left religion
I think for some of you judgmentalism
and Chris that’s not Christianity wait I
mean that doesn’t even make that’s anti
Christianity who the Sun sets free is
free indeed for God so loved the world
he gave His only begotten Son who sent
believes in him will not perish but have
everlasting life for God did not send
his it specifically says for God did not
send his Son into the world to condemn
it but that the world through him might
be saved
so condemnation is an antichrist spirit
Romans 8 there is therefore now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ
so you come to faith to get away from
condemnation not to be condemn us out
now baby you didn’t walk away from
Christian sounds like you might be
walking towards Jesus so if you hear
when you say you know what I cannot deny
the power that’s been in this conference
since I got here I cannot deny all of
the steps everything that led me to this
moment and I don’t want it to just be an
experience that I have when I’m on
pastor Sarah’s Instagram or watching her
videos or in the churches but I want I
want this see what you love about Sarah
is the God in her that’s what you’re
drawn to now she’s fine as all outdoors
and flyer than anybody but that’s not
what’s drawing you you wouldn’t come to
Denver just for that you could just see
that on social media is to God in her
reflecting back to you who you are
called to be
so if you’re here and you say I want to
try this thing I don’t have all the
answers I don’t really know there’s some
things that I got questions about I have
questions too but if you cannot deny God
tapping you all the way in the balcony
if you cannot deny God tapping you come
here we’re gonna pray for you just cut
them but take a minute come on just come
just come just come just come so God
you’ve called all of us really but
certainly these women to be producers
that’s their birthright it is not
something that is the exception them
bringing forth is the rule it is their
identity the father I thank you Lord
that they’re not just going to be people
of wisdom they can be people of
understanding and then knowledge is
gonna come they’re gonna grow in wisdom
they’re gonna grow in stature and
they’re gonna grow in favor with you and
with man now God we know the only way to
become we can’t mind-over-matter our way
into becoming this becoming takes place
by transformation and that
transformation by the renewing of our
mind and that renewing of our mind a
direct the direct result of our worship
and those who worship God must worship
Him in spirit and in truth
so that’s what we’re after if we worship
you in spirit and in truth our minds
will be renewed and we will be
transformed into the image of who we
truly are in you the father your sons
and daughters have come down because you
by your spirit have drawn them and your
spirit does not simply want to touch
them your spirit wants to feel them
