bless you let’s stay connected

when i was growing up in church there

would be these moments during youth

sunday in particular and they would have

this chant right i’m a church girl most

of you all know that they would say

ain’t no party like a holy ghost party

because the holy ghost party don’t stop

and they would say that over and over

again i don’t know about you but sundays

have a special joy for me because it

feels like a holy ghost party and so i

just want you to take a minute and just

thank god thank god that we’re starting

a new week thank god that we made it

through the end of the week and i want

you to do it with joy and sometimes

having joy in the midst of trouble is a

sacrifice but i want to give you

permission to have joy that you get

another shot joy that you get to show up

again joy that you get to rebuild

somebody didn’t even have the knowledge

that they needed to rebuild and yet you

are embarking on the work of becoming

whole can we just take a minute and have

our own holy ghost party i don’t know

where you’re watching from but i bet we

could have a holy ghost party in london

i bet we could have a holy ghost party

in nigeria i bet we could get it in

right here in los angeles what’s up east

coast can we have a holy ghost party

because when we have a holy ghost party

what we’re saying is listen pity party

you gotta go depression you gotta move

over for a minute because the holy ghost

is here and wherever the holy spirit is

there is an opportunity for change for

transformation so why would i not have

joy

if you knew what i knew about the god

that i serve

if you knew what i knew about everything

that i’ve gone through and how god keeps

on making away you would have a holy

ghost party down in your soul too can we

just take 10 seconds and just

acknowledge the king of kings can we

acknowledge the lord of lords god i

thank you that you’ve never left my side

god i thank you that you keep sending

people to remind me of your love god i

thank you for your favor god i thank you

that today’s problems were yesterday’s

prayers god i thank you that this is not

the end for me i thank you that there is

victory connected even to this trial i

prophesy it right now in the name of

jesus that the storm that you’re facing

right now has victory connected to it do

you know how i know there’s victory

because my god is not a man that he

shall lie and god says that when the

story is finished when it’s all said and

done that all things are going to work

together for your good so i’m

celebrating the good even in the middle

of trouble i’m celebrating the good even

in the middle of struggle i’m

celebrating the good even in the middle

of fear i don’t have to know what the

ending is gonna be to know that my god

is gonna make a way when it’s all said

and done i could have a holy ghost party

all by myself if i have to but i know

there’s somebody who won’t leave me on

my own

may we never forget

that our praise is a weapon

may we never forget that we don’t need

musicians and music and cheerleaders in

order to have a praise party that if i

just get to thinking about the goodness

of god

the faithfulness of god

and how god just continues to keep

reaching out for me and pulling me up

and stretching me and changing me and

transforming me i get joy when i think

about it so yes it is a happy sunday and

yes i may be a little drunk in the

overflow of the call but i’m telling you

if you didn’t get a chance to experience

what we experienced this weekend it is

not too late for you to get a little sip

of this holy ghost party wine when i

tell you so much revelation so much

growth and development i am so grateful

for the senior leadership of this house

pastor taray roberts babe honey i am so

honored to just be under your leadership

to be a disciple in your ministry it

continues to just

challenge me to innovate and to pioneer

and to be okay with my unique grace and

anointing it goes without saying

everyone knows me for well i won’t say

everyone knows me but a lot of people

know me as bishop td jake’s daughter but

can i tell you that being tarray

robert’s wife

has been one of the most

transformational identities that i’ve

taken on because you my king have

created space for me to flourish and i

thank you that you’re doing the same for

every person connected to your anointing

and so i’m glad you get the day off

thank you for allowing me to serve you

and to serve the community in this way

if you’ve got your bible

let’s go to first samuel 15.

if you’re just going to read on the

screen you’re already there you low-key

cheated but that’s okay

we’re gonna go to first samuel

chapter 15 verse

17 17-21

i

may give my message a subject

that subject is becoming an influencer

becoming an influencer in this day and

age and this social media environment

everyone wants to be an influencer

but as i was studying i recognized that

being an influencer is not something

that is this modern way of thinking this

modern way of being that this is a

principle that existed even in scripture

i want to go to first samuel 15 verse 17

and my text begins it says

so samuel samuel is a prophet

he is a prophet to the very first king

of israel who is saul

samuel says to saul

when you were little in your own eyes

were you not head of the tribes of

israel in other words when you didn’t

even think you were worthy

did not god put you in a position of

influence

and did not the lord anoint you king

over israel when you were little you

didn’t have to do anything you didn’t

have to become anyone as a matter of

fact it could have been the fact that

you were little that god says i can

trust you with this influence

now the lord sent you on a mission

and said go

and utterly destroy the sinners the

amalekites and fight against them until

they are consumed

why then why then did you not obey the

voice of the lord

why did you swoop down on the spoil and

do evil in the sight of the lord

and saul said to samuel

but i have obeyed the voice of the lord

and god on the mission on which the lord

sent me and brought back aegac king of

amalek

i have utterly destroyed the amalekites

but the people took of the plunder sheep

and oxen

the best of the things which should have

been utterly destroyed to sacrifice to

the lord your god and gilgal

holy spirit

man we just receive

all of the promises and the gifts

and the change and the challenge and the

conviction

that comes when we have an encounter

with you

it is my prayer that for everyone who is

connected to this word that they would

dare take a moment to remove the

distractions that they may become one

with your spirit god

and as we become one with your spirit

may you deep go diving deeply deeply

within us god

that you would explore what other

spirits are trying to manipulate us and

control us

but ultimately that you may deliver us

from those spirits

so that we can walk boldly

in your spirit

i’d let this be a moment of intertwining

that we would become closer and closer

to being one with you

so that we can show up as the best

version of ourselves on earth

god give this message your pace

your emphasis

your oil your anointing

i turn it over to you and i say have you

away great god that you are

in jesus name i pray

amen

family i was

studying you know um i already started

with my ain’t no party like the holy

ghost party i think i’ve been in a

really churchy mood lately it’s probably

because during the super bowl i was

anything but churchy they took me back

they took me back i wasn’t even ready to

go that far back and my daughter i was

telling everyone earlier my daughter was

embarrassed by how far they took me back

she had never seen her mother do those

things okay

so now i’m i didn’t flip the pendulum in

the other direction i’m churchy today

okay i was thinking though when i was

growing up in church we had children’s

church we didn’t necessarily have bible

study

at least bible study in the way that you

have bible study before church service

where i have seen in other communities

when we went to church on sunday my

parents went to church we went into

children’s church

and i didn’t really have a relationship

with god until i was much older i mean

in my 20s anytime the salvation prayer

was said between the ages of 5 and 23 i

made sure to say it because i just

wanted to make sure i didn’t know if the

last one was going to work because i

knew i wasn’t exactly where i needed to

be but when i became older i really

started studying the word more

started having a relationship with god

but there were still these unanswered

questions that i had until i took some

classes in theology and seminary there

were unanswered questions questions like

why do we have an old testament and a

new testament

and i don’t know if you’re like me and

you have those types of questions but

you maybe are too nervous or don’t even

know where do i go to ask these types of

questions i’m going to give you a little

bible study lesson right so we have an

old testament and a new testament in our

bible because the old testament focuses

exclusively on god’s relationship and

connection with israel

his chosen people

this is a story about how god got a

chosen people why he chose the chosen

people and the promises connected to

those people it’s where we begin to

discover god’s covenant with humanity

specifically though with this particular

people

that’s why even though we as christians

have an old testament and new testament

for those who are of the jewish faith

they still have the old testament as

their sacred scripture because it is a

covenant between god and their people

and yet for those of us who believe in

jesus we have the new testament because

the new testament is when all of these

promises all of the

foreshadowings that we experience in the

old testament are made manifest in the

new testament the new testament

tells us the story of jesus it documents

his life how he came into the world who

his mother was and then the influence he

had over those who were connected to him

while he walked the earth and then it

goes on to tell us about his death

burial and resurrection and how the

apostles continued with that same

influence and so the old testament and

the new testament had this incredible

dance of us understanding what god was

promising what god would say was

possible and then the new testament

being the manifestation of that

there are 400 years in between the

ending of the old testament and the

beginning of the new testament

i love this because that separation

seems unnecessary why not just tell the

full story and yet it is necessary

because the difference between the old

testament and the new testament is the

plot twist that god introduces

in the old testament

we’re waiting for the promise

we’re waiting for the manifestation

in the new testament though it’s here

one of the things that we see jesus

preaching over and over again in the new

testament is about the kingdom of heaven

being at hand this is to mark that the

old kingdoms have passed away that we’re

no longer looking who’s going to be king

we’re not looking for the next david

we’re not looking for the next saul

we’re not looking for the next solomon

that this is all passed away and there

is a new king in town and this king will

never be defeated and this king is going

to reign forever that’s why we hear

jesus saying over and over again the

kingdom of heaven is at hand because i

need everyone to understand that that

old way of thinking in the old testament

is not going to help you in this new

season this new season is going to

require for you to understand that the

kingdom of heaven can inhabit your heart

the kingdom of heaven can come into your

own home the kingdom of heaven is not

just designated to one person or one

people group anyone who dares to believe

in who jesus is as the messiah can have

access to the new testament to this new

covenant to this new way of being this

is the kingdom of heaven

every now and then god has a plot twist

and it takes faith for us to see and

sense when the plot twist is taking

place

that’s why you can’t be so busy on

autopilot that you miss when god is

shifting things oh i feel that already

for somebody i love that pt had the call

and he was calling it about being

pioneers because when there’s a shift

taking place you’ve got to be sensitive

to understand that something new has

taken place i don’t know if you feel

this for yourself but i’ve been feeling

it within my own life that there’s a

shift taking place and not just a shift

in the earth i mean there’s a shift

taking place on the inside of me i’m

showing up differently i’m thinking

differently i’m speaking differently i’m

studying differently because i recognize

that there is a new kingdom that is

being established in this earth there is

a new way of being that is being

established in this earth and i want to

be a part of that kingdom when jesus

started recruiting he says the kingdom

of heaven is at hand and that was enough

for those who were under the sound of

his voice to recognize that there’s a

new flow in town there’s a new way of

existing there’s a new way of being i

came to prophesy to somebody that

there’s a new flow coming to your house

there’s a new flow coming to your

creativity there’s a new flow coming to

your business and i feel like somebody

needs to make an announcement to the old

flow that the new flow is here because

if you don’t make an announcement to the

old flow the new flow doesn’t have any

space but sometimes you’ve got to serve

an eviction notice on the way that you

used to flow i don’t flow like that

anymore i don’t think like that anymore

i’m making room for the new flow i’m

making room for the new way of being the

kingdom of heaven has come to my

depression the kingdom of heaven has

come to my industry the kingdom of

heaven has come to my music make way for

the new flow make way for the new way of

being make way for how god is shifting

and changing things in this season of

your life you don’t have to wait until

god has shifted it for you to begin

walking in the ships don’t wait for

everyone else to get the news for you to

step into the fact that it has already

happened jesus was waiting to see who

would just believe by faith is it you

are you willing to believe by faith that

this shift is taking place this shift is

happening

jesus

represents how god shows up in the earth

when he shows up through humanity

when god shows up in the earth he shows

up through his creation he shows up

through humanity

and jesus is the perfect model that we

are to follow because it shows us how we

need to be changing and transforming so

that we can show up as god’s children

jesus

recognizes

that his role

is to maximize his influence

jesus he is here to establish the

kingdom of heaven

he’s here to wage war on any other

kingdom

he’s waging war on the pharisees he’s

waging war on the sadducees he’s waging

war on the romans it doesn’t always look

like it in the moment

but because he’s just showing up in his

purpose and in his identity that wages

war

that’s a word for somebody right there

that sometimes we are so focused on our

war strategy that we miss out on the

opportunity to just stand flat-footed in

our identity

not recognizing that if you would just

show up as you if you would just show up

in the fullness of your authenticity if

you would just show up in your

vulnerability if you would just show up

without pride if you would just show up

as who god has orchestrated and anointed

you to be in this moment that that is a

long to wage war but because you were so

committed to being who you are supposed

to be you don’t even have to worry about

the enemies that come with authenticity

the enemies that come with authenticity

are the lord’s enemies because if they

were your enemies you would have

something to worry about but because

they are the lord’s enemy the only thing

you have to do is be authentic to who

god has called you to be if you stay

authentic if you stay committed then you

don’t have to worry

about who is waging war against you so

jesus just shows up and he’s just being

himself and he’s just performing

miracles and he’s letting the division

happen where it’s supposed to happen and

he’s letting the fallout happen wherever

it is supposed to happen because he

recognizes that in order for him to be

influential he needs to be

focused

if i’m going to be influential i need to

be focused

let’s talk about influence for a moment

i want to speak about influence because

i recognize that that is how god is

going to attract people into the kingdom

of heaven

it’s going to happen through influence

if i can define influence for you

influence

first of all you have to see influence

as power

influence

is power

so when jesus is recruiting those who

are connected to the kingdom of heaven

those who receive the revelation of the

kingdom of heaven he’s doing it through

influence not so that they can be drawn

back to him but that they but so that

they can become influencers as well

that means that when you receive a touch

from heaven that that touch is supposed

to make you touchable to someone else

and that touch ought to make them

touchable to someone else there is a

chain reaction a multiplication that

happens with influence and when you

recognize that influence is power

influence means to get in a flow i

looked up the eptomology of this word it

means to get in the flow that means when

jesus was talking about the kingdom of

heaven he wasn’t just talking about a

kingdom he was talking about a flow and

his job in the earth was to get other

people to get into the flow and your job

is to make sure that whatever you have

influence over is flowing in the right

direction when you are serious about

your influence you want to recognize how

does this flow connect you to a better

kingdom how does this flow connect you

to a better version of yourself because

everyone can get influence but not

everyone can make sure that that

influence flows you into a better

direction there are people right now who

have influence on social media in the

culture on the news but that influence

is actually not flowing at all just

because you see numbers doesn’t mean

that there’s influence sometimes you’re

looking at ponds you’re looking at lakes

you’re not looking at flows but you’ll

know that someone is in the flow when

everything they do has growth connected

to it there’s movement you better watch

out when you get connected with me

because i’m in a flow i’m trying to be

something that i’ve never seen before

i’m trying to manifest a power that i’ve

never had access to before when you get

connected to me you’re connected to a

flow you got to watch out for stagnant

people you got to watch out for little

pond people because those are the kind

of people that look like they have a lot

of influence but there’s no movement

happening down on the inside of them but

i believe that this is a season in which

you need to be connected with people who

are on the move how are you growing how

are you becoming better how are you

prophesying how are you praying how are

you developing wholeness that’s down on

the inside of you anything connected to

me has got to be connected with the flow

that’s happening down on the inside of

me because if you’re not connected to my

flow then you’re stopping my flow and

i’ve already wasted enough time i’ve

already wasted enough money and i’ve

already wasted enough resource i’m in a

season in my life where i can’t afford

to miss so if you’re going to be with me

you got to get in the flow and if you

can’t get in the flow the greatest gift

you can give someone

is moving out of the way so that god can

flow through them

anything that ever caused me harm in my

life

were the things that took me further

away from who god was calling to be

calling me to be

but there is another danger that happens

and that danger is not just someone

pulling you back

but being restricted in a way that keeps

you from growing

if you cannot grow you can be connected

to god

because god says i gotta work things

together for your good god says i gotta

keep developing you i gotta keep growing

you so anything that keeps you stagnant

has to have a confrontation with the

influence that god wants to give you and

god wants to give you influence so that

you move and you need to be connected

with people who make you move in the

right direction you need to be connected

with people who make you move even when

you don’t want to move i don’t know if

you’ve ever stood in a river and felt

the current come when you weren’t

expecting it when that current comes you

have no choice but to move that’s why i

say you got to be careful who you’re in

the flow with because i got to make sure

this river is headed to living water i

got to make sure this river is headed to

growth i got to make sure that this job

is gonna make me better and not take me

away from the very thing i’m trying to

build at home i gotta make sure that

this flow was gonna help me to stay

sober i gotta make sure that this flow

was gonna lead me to forgiveness come on

somebody i’m talking about a flow that

can change your life i’m talking about a

flow that’ll change generational

blessings and take those generational

curses and destroy them and make them

drown i’m talking about a flow that’ll

change the way you speak a flow that’ll

change the way you prophesy a flow

that’ll make you bold where you were

once weak a flow that’ll give you faith

in the place where you once had fear

there is a new flow coming to 2022.

there is a new flow coming to your city

and if you don’t get in the flow you’re

going to miss that god is trying to move

you i’m trying to change you i’m trying

to transform you how is god going to do

it i’m going to do it because you got in

the flow i’m going to do it because you

got connected to somebody who was on the

move you need to be connected to

somebody that’s going to push you out of

your comfort zone to somebody that’s

going to make you open your mouth to

somebody that’s going to say you know

you’ve been called for too long you know

you’ve been playing for too long let me

be that somebody in your life on a

sunday morning calling you out of your

stupidity calling you out of your sin

calling you out of your shame calling

you out of your insecurity it is time

for you to get in the flow we don’t have

any games to play we got a world to

change

we’ve got a generation to save

and you are an influencer

there ought to be a flow connected to

you

what happened to your flow

what happened to your fire

what happened to your power

[Music]

the grief the disappointment the setback

you stop flowing

some of you you’re down to a trickle

[Music]

others of you you’re just as stagnant

just a stagnant body of water

it is time for you to become an

influencer

to get in the flow

where you’re passionate about

righteousness again

where you’re passionate about your work

and your creativity where family means

something where you really do want to be

clean where you really do want to be

whole where you really do want to

produce something that matters you got

out of the flow

and my mandate

for today is to remind you

that still is not your portion

stagnant is not your portion

there was a plot twist in the new

testament

and that plot just

that plot twist was meant to make you

move again

move again to go into all of the world

now i’m not going to lie to you

we are a little bit away from my notes

but the reason why this text stood out

in my mind

is because i wanted to study the life of

the first influencer

the first person that god anointed and

appointed to influence people

it is worthy of noting

that god did not want to give israel a

king

but israel said we want a king because

we see everyone else has a king god give

us a king

and so god anoints

saul to become king

but in the process of anointing saul to

become king

his call was contingent on his obedience

he wasn’t just called to be an

influencer to lead people wherever he

wanted to lead them

god put him in position god gave him

influence because god wanted to lead the

people by any means necessary

if we were wise enough to just follow

god’s instruction we wouldn’t have jesus

but because people are drawn to

influence they’re drawn to flows they’re

drawn

to growth they’re drawn to movement god

says i’m going to use what people are

attracted to to get them back to me to

get them back to having relationship and

connection with me and the first person

he utilizes to do this is saul

but saul

like many of us

i’ve become even more compassionate

towards saul the more that i study this

text

is an insecure influencer

saul is an insecure influencer he’s in

position

he’s connected

he has been appointed

but saul doesn’t really trust the

equipment that god has given him for his

appointment

you see

no one really talks about this right

because everyone wants to be called

right but few few were chosen i’m off

the heels of the call so this is down in

my spirit

but there’s something that happens when

you are called but don’t feel like you

are equipped

that’s why many are called but few were

chosen there are very few who trust the

equipment that they have been given for

the call connected to their lives you’re

watching this right now and there are so

many things that should have been

birthed from you right now there are so

many ideas so many books so many

ministries so many lives that should

have been touched by you but because you

didn’t trust your equipment you have

been called but you haven’t been chosen

yet because you don’t trust the

equipment that god has given you

i want to give you some insight into how

god equips saul for the position that

he’s placed him in he sends him a

prophet

because when god puts you in position he

doesn’t just put you there without a

mouthpiece to god

there are going to be some people in

this season of your life and i just want

to prophesy this over your life right

now that you are no longer going to stay

stagnant that you are no longer going to

be called but not trusting your

equipment that you’re about to utilize

the equipment that god has given you

even if that equipment doesn’t look like

anything you’ve ever seen before and i’m

going to tell you how god is going to

teach you to use it god’s going to send

you a prophet god’s going to send you a

mentor god’s going to send you a book

god’s going to send you a message that’s

going to show you what to do with the

equipment that god has given you i hear

god saying that you’ve got to stop

looking at the equipment that he’s given

other people you’ve got to stop looking

at the resources that i gave other

people and you’ve got to trust the

equipment that i gave you god says i

would not have put you in that position

i would not have placed that desire in

your heart if you did not have the

equipment to bring it to its fullest

potential and i want you to understand

that this is a season to maximize

everything that god has given you i want

to prophesy wisdom over your equipment i

want to prophesy faith over your

equipment i want to prophesy vision over

your equipment i want to prophesy power

over your equipment i want to prophesy

growth over your equipment i hear god

saying that the equipment you have right

now is not the equipment you’re going to

have when it’s done but if you don’t

start using what i equipped you with

right now then you’re going to miss out

on how i’m going to develop you and grow

you i hear guys saying that use what i

gave you use what you got right now put

it to work and trust me and when the

prophet speaks i need you to respond

when they say to publish the website i

need you to respond when they say to

drop the music i need you to respond

respond when the prophet speaks or

you’re going to miss out not just on

what god wants to do through you but on

the people connected to you you my

friend are an influencer and god wants

to break open the floodgates of heaven i

feel like prophesying in this place i

don’t know who you are but i feel like

heaven wants to open up the floodgates

but because you’re too afraid of where

you’re going to be carried and you’re

too afraid that you won’t be able to

handle it that you’ve been holding back

the goodness of god over your life

you’ve been holding back the oil of god

over your life but if someone would dare

be crazy enough to allow the windows of

heaven to be open over their life you

will see that there are floodgates

connected to who you are

and it’s going to happen with everything

you’ve got now

you lack nothing

your flow can get started right now

you lack nothing

put that equipment to work

put that knowledge to work you don’t

have to have all of the answers no one’s

asking you to be a phd i’m just asking

you to be obedient man i feel like

prophesying in this place when saul ends

up disappointing god god says i didn’t

need you to give me anything to

sacrifice all i wanted was your

obedience i didn’t need you to start

thinking your way into it all i needed

you to do was be obedient and your

obedience is gonna break open the

floodgates your obedience is gonna make

the difference your obedience is gonna

build the family your obedience is gonna

break the addiction your obedience is

gonna build the ministry who are you and

where are you called to because i hear

god saying that i’m going to do it

through your obedience the greatest tool

in your toolkit

is your obedience

it is not your education

it is not your finances it is not your

connection

it is your obedience

[Music]

and obedience is a sacrifice when you

don’t feel equipped

but obedience is the only way that you

can get in the flow

otherwise you’ll be

standing on one side of the call

but needing people to validate you on

the other side

[Music]

saul gives us insight into

how he ended up off course

he thinks that he did everything that

god asked him to do but he didn’t

because what saul did was he found a way

to do it his way

in a way that would please the people

and in a way that would have do what god

told him to do

and that way is half stepping in half

showing up and half being present would

end up being saul’s demise

because god wants full obedience

and full obedience leaves you vulnerable

and full obedience may not make you

popular amongst people

that’s why you cannot judge influence by

the number of people you see on social

media because full obedience does not

always equate to popularity but full

obedience is how you stay in

relationship with god

you want to know the thoughts of god

when god gives you a command to obey

he’s giving you insight into the way

that he thinks in the way that he sees

things

and your obedience brings you closer and

closer to understanding how god

functions and operates

no wonder we end up confused when life

doesn’t go our way

because for some of us there are

instances where we weren’t obedient

so we didn’t didn’t understand the

thoughts of god in that instance

but when you become obedient you get to

say things like god i did what you asked

me to do

now help me to understand why this

didn’t work out the way that i thought

that it would

help me to understand what it is that

you saw because what you saw and what i

saw were two different things but the

one thing i know for sure is that i

built my life on obedience

and when you don’t build your life on

obedience you have to be willing to

deconstruct anything that was built

outside of obedience

so that you can build a life on

something solid

so had his influence hijacked by the

people

i want to talk for a moment

to someone who’s watching

and anytime you get ready to be obedient

it gets hijacked

that anytime you get ready to show up

in your true identity

when you get ready to fully release the

authentic nature of what you’ve been

cultivating in your relationship with

god it gets hijacked by people

people

will not always understand what happens

in your intimate relationship with god

and yet when you are unsure of who you

are and you are unsure of your equipment

what we want more than anything is we

want to have company and our discomfort

but sometimes the company we have in our

discomfort are distractions

my greatest prayer for you

is that god would deliver you from

people

because if god would deliver you from

needing the people to affirm you and

needing the people to validate you then

maybe finally you could be obedient

i’m challenged with this word myself

because i recognize there are so many

different moments in my life

where i have to be willing to lay down

this idea of approval from peop from

people

and approval and i don’t mean just

people sometimes we talk about people in

masses but let’s talk about family

members let’s talk about siblings let’s

talk about colleagues and friends and

how we can be so desperate to fit in

that we fit in with them and miss out on

our own destiny there comes a point in

your life where you decide that the only

way i can get this show on the road is

if i do it without an audience and if

you don’t mind doing this thing without

an audience then god says i could be

backstage handling everything that needs

to come apart to be a part of this stage

of your life if you don’t mind doing it

without an audience then god says then i

can step in and i can show you how to

direct yourself in the moment and i can

show you how to produce the content that

really matters but because most of us

need an audience we cannot get the show

on the road but i hear god’s saying just

as he was telling saul in this moment

that i need to know that your heart is

first from me

because god knows what is better for the

people

man saul thought that he was appeasing

the people by giving them what they

wanted

but he didn’t know that he was actually

hurting them

if you’re going to be an influencer

you have to make sure that you stay

connected to the ultimate flow

and there will be moments where you need

to question your own motives

god why am i doing this god why am i

posting this

god why am i saying this why did i say

yes to this and no to that because you

have to be willing to question your own

motives to understand if you’re still in

the flow

god’s power is going to touch the earth

through the flow

god’s power is going to touch the earth

through those he is placed in position

and if you are insecure when you are

placed in position then your influence

will be hijacked by applause

instead of being prepared to expand the

kingdom of heaven

saul couldn’t be an effective influencer

because he kept allowing the flow to be

hijacked i want to talk about as being

effective as influencers

as i mentioned earlier in this message

we are all called

to be influencers

and not in that cute how do i grow my

social media platform how do i do this

and how do i do that i’m not talking

about that my let me tell you something

i there’s no shade against people who do

this at all but i’ve never been the

person who’s like oh my gosh i just got

one more follower i just got another

follower because at the end of the day i

didn’t start preaching like i wasn’t

trying to grow my social media platform

i wasn’t trying to be anybody i was just

trying to figure out what was happening

in my life and i invited other people to

come along on the journey there has to

be something within us that says at the

end of the day i want to be effective

over being popular and we’re in a season

where we’ve got to create a counter flow

the reason why i believe god laid this

on my heart this message about becoming

an influencer

is because there is a flow in the earth

right now

man i’ve seen so many

headlines lately about depression about

suicide

about pain and trauma

racial trauma sexual traumas

there are so many different flows

happening

and i just felt so heavily in my heart

and once again maybe it’s because i’m

coming off the heels of the called

that instead of grieving the flows that

we see happening

that we could stand up and be an answer

to it

that we could say the kingdom of heaven

is at hand

and i want to talk to you about what it

means to be depressed for so long that

you don’t even remember what joy looks

like

the kingdom of heaven can come to that

the kingdom of heaven can come to our

criminal justices and the kingdom of

heaven is that here but there are so few

people who are willing to become

influencers because listen even the term

influencer has been hijacked to have

negative connotation now

the thing that god is going to use to

change the flow of the earth now has a

negative connotation where the true men

and women of god who have been called to

be the answer to the things that held

this world are too afraid to post on

social media platforms are too afraid to

testify and to give their testimony

because they don’t want to look like

they’re trying to be one of those

influencers but god says i’ve called you

to be an influencer i need you to create

that music i need you to tell your

testimony i need you to tell someone

about the goodness of god because if you

don’t break through your flow then that

means the other flows are going to

continue to have dominance in this

culture and society and you have to

become an influencer

even with the equipment that you have

or the equipment that you don’t have

everything that god has given you

he’s given you

more than enough to start it

i want to pray with you family

i want to pray for those of you who

struggle

[Music]

with feeling like you don’t have enough

worth or value

to offer to anyone

man

maybe you’re here

and your thoughts about being an

influencer have been hijacked

by the idea of what are the numbers

going to be

what will people say about me

what if i don’t have what it takes what

if i backslide

what if i end up back on that same drug

maybe some oh gosh i feel this

prophetically for somebody

you feel called

but you’re so afraid of not having

permanent change

that you won’t step into the fullness of

your identity

you’re so afraid that you haven’t really

transformed oh god i feel this by faith

the greatest gift that you can give

yourself

is trusting that you have truly

transformed

instead of allowing your old history and

your past way of thinking and being to

hang over your head the greatest gift

you can give that relationship the

greatest gift that you can give your

family is believing that you have really

changed not that you’re perfect not that

you’re going to do everything the right

way but that you are self-aware enough

and you are open enough to be convicted

into change and transformation

transformation is not about perfection

it is about having enough humility to be

teachable

so teachable that the holy spirit can

say you missed this step on that one but

here’s an order step that’ll get you

there in just the same amount of time

when you walk with the lord

even when you have missteps you can

still have an ordered step

and when god orders your step god orders

your step with acceleration in mind god

says i can’t afford for you to be

delayed because i got souls connected to

your life so i’m not going to deny you

i’m going to show you how to walk around

this thing i’m going to show you how to

walk through it and to walk over it but

don’t you dare stop walking i don’t know

who you are but you stopped walking and

i’m telling you i need your flow my

daughters need your flow my children

need your flow this ministry this church

this kingdom we need your flow yes your

flow with your broken past with your

hidden issues with your struggles we

still need your flow you matter to me

and you matter to god

or you wouldn’t be seeing this

you wouldn’t be hearing it

would you dare

have the faith to believe

that you can get on the move again

oh god this feels like a moment of

surrender

this feels like a moment of dropping out

of our stagnant way of being

oh and step i just see a vision of water

rushing

i see a vision of water rushing

it’s rushing into your living room

it’s rushing into your car it’s rushing

into your office i feel like god wants

someone to no longer be stagnant i feel

like god wants somebody to finally move

again i feel like god is calling someone

out of their history he’s calling

someone out of their shame he’s calling

someone out of their insecurity because

i got a lane that only you can dominate

i got a lane that only you could feel i

got cups that need your flow there are

empty cups right now that can only be

filled by the flow of god that’s

happening down on the inside of you so

spirit of the living god break us open

as only you can do god we surrender our

lives to you we surrender our hearts our

patterns our paradigms and god we say

i’ve been stuck for too long

i’ve been unfaithful for too long

i’ve been distrusting for too long

god i’m ready to

flow again flow again

flow again flow again

flow again flow again holy spirit you

can flow again flow again grace you can

flow again flow again creativity you can

flow again flow again i’m ready to get

in the flow again god

god i thank you for every person

connected to this word

because they are connected to a flow

heaven we don’t know what you’re doing

in the earth

god we don’t know how you’re going to

show up and turn things around

but we know that you’re going to move to

do it

i don’t see that things cannot just stay

the same it’s going to happen through a

move

it’s going to happen through a flow it’s

going to happen through breakthrough and

so god we want to be in your flow so we

lay down our lives and we say god we

won’t move unless you move us our

thoughts are not your thoughts our ways

are not your ways god we need you more

than you

need us and so we lay down

our rules and restrictions

[Music]

and we say any way you move me i’ll be

satisfied

god i thank you

[Music]

that even as we’re watching that you’re

opening up our hearts

we’re listening god

thank you god that prophets are on the

way

that you’re not going to put my brothers

and my sisters in position

without giving them a direct line to

what you’re thinking

god i thank you that their prophets are

finding them

god i thank you that the people are not

distracting them

god i thank you that you’re only

bringing people who can surrender to the

flow of god that is on their life or to

help make their more way for the make

way for them to have more flow god i

thank you that their people are coming

to them

and that that

insecurity that brokenness that weakness

that fear that they won’t be effective

that fear that they aren’t equipped

god i thank you that you drown it in the

flow

it’s not allowed to stay

when the flow comes it sweeps it away

[Music]

god thank you

that the enemies they see today

they will see no longer

and it will be the flow that made the

difference

i thank you for jesus

thank you for making him who had no sin

no weakness no limitation

god i thank you that you sent jesus so

that we would have an example

of how to live in the flow

thank you jesus that you don’t mind

meeting us right where we are right now

each of us can receive a touch from you

jesus i thank you that you have put to

death any and everything that was

standing in our way

that that sin that disease

that brokenness that pain

that you’ve overcome it so that we can

be restored

i thank you that when we walk with you

jesus that we are automatically in the

flow

and so we partner with you afresh

and we say here’s an area of my life

where i got stuck and stagnant

now jesus show me how to live in the

flow in my marriage and my finances and

my art and my work

helped me to be connected to the flow

i just want to rebuke right now

the flow of

depression i rebuke it in the name of

jesus

i rebuke the flow of second guessing the

flow of doubt

the flow of anxiety and worry

the flow that tells you if you don’t do

it perfectly that you shouldn’t do it at

all i rebuke it right now in the name of

jesus

god knew we weren’t perfect when he

created us

and yet he said his grace can make up

the difference

i rebuked that

flow

that was hijacked by your trauma

[Music]

i rebuke it in the name of jesus and i

speak freedom

and victory

and peace and joy and wellness

and flow

into your life

in jesus name i pray

amen

you
