[Music]

it’ll be here with you today I believe

the Spirit of God is gonna move I’m I’m

starting a new series today and I

believe it’s gonna bless you I believe

it’s gonna make some things clear for

you it’s gonna make some things plain

and it’s gonna align you in the things

of God I want us to go really quickly to

Psalm chapter 1 this is my very first

this my probably my most favorite Psalm

in the entire Bobby it might even be my

most favorite passage of scripture but I

would probably say it about thousand

other places as well so but Psalm 1

verse 1 through 3 you’ve heard it before

and there’s so much truth in it we’re

gonna unpack it today and it reads

blessed is the man who walks not in the

counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the

path of sinners nor sits in the seat of

the scornful but his delight is in the

law of the Lord and in his law he

meditates day and night and he shall be

like a tree planted by the rivers of

water that brings forth its fruit in its

season whose leaf also shall not wither

and whatever he does shall prosper and

then I’m gonna read the first part of

proverbs 24 and 16 as well it says for a

righteous man may fall seven times and

rises again he may fall seven times and

rise again let’s pray father we we thank

you so much for who you are you are

the bread of life you are a lapping to

our feet and a light to our path you are

the way the truth and the light your

everything and we love you and we pause

this morning just to celebrate the fact

that we can call on you now God we know

that you orchestrated the gathering this

is not of man’s doing you set it up a

long time ago that we would assemble

together and that you would speak to us

that you would dwell among us but you

would lead us and we thank you God and

so Lord in this moment I thank you God

that you’re gonna bless your people real

good you’re gonna prepare a table for us

in the presence of our enemies

hallelujah for some is the enemy of

anxiety the enemy of fear the enemy of

some sort of giant in the area of Health

and I thank you God right here today in

your courts and in your presence you’re

gonna do something wonderful lord I

thank you for the spirit of wisdom

revelation insight knowledge prophecy

for uses of the gifts of the Spirit that

you got through me this morning might

pour out an incredible thing amongst

your people and I believe you for this

from Denver to Los Angeles to all around

the world wherever people are watching

from wherever they’re tuning in from

that you’re gonna do a great work in

Jesus name Amen amen god bless you you

may be seated do me a favor just greet

somebody in Jesus name before you take

your seat come on hallelujah thank you

Jesus today I want to begin a

conversation about consistency and the

theme of consistency and it is the more

that I’m studying and I’m digging into

this

this truth this idea this thought it is

becoming overwhelmingly convincing to me

that consistency is everything it is not

optional it is not who you want to be

one day it is who you are called and

created to be in fact if you’re created

in the image of God that means that you

are in fact created to be consistent and

I want to talk to you about that today

there’s so much to unpack so we’ll be

unpacking it over the next few weeks but

I believe it’s gonna bless you I want to

give you really quickly a couple of

thoughts about consistency first and

foremost if you’re taking notes write

this down consistency is the bridge

between dream and reality it’s the

bridge it’s the bridge some of you God

has put a dream in your heart or he’s

caused you to believe something and and

to put your hope in to something however

your reality is not lining up with the

things that God has called you to

believe you ever been there before where

where there’s a word maybe you you came

to church or ever since you were a child

there was a word over your life and and

you’ve held on to that word of you’ve

done the best in your ability to hold on

to that word but you haven’t seen that

word show up in your life or I’m here to

tell you that consistency is going to

get you there and God is going to show

you how to be consistent we’re going to

talk about it’s gonna be really good I

can’t wait so consistency is the bridge

between dream and reality and here’s

another thought about consistency that I

want you to understand consistency is

the evidence of maturity consistency is

the evidence of maturity a and it is

also the pathway to mastery because and

when I say mastery I’m not speaking of

you coming to a place where you arrive

and you don’t ever need anything else or

you won’t ever need to grow that’s not

what I’m talking about but there are

levels to this thing do me a favor turn

to your neighbor and say their levels to

this thing and you do have to master

life on a certain level in order to be

in order to be promoted to the next

level and so consistency consistency is

the

of maturity one-hit wonder a one-hit

wonder situation is not maturity it’s

not you doing something once or twice

that’s why the Bible talks about how we

are to not be like children tossed to

and fro in the context that’s Ephesians

4 in the context of God talking about

how we are supposed to grow up and to

become something he is saying that

ultimately when this happens we won’t be

tossed to and fro we won’t be happy

today

sad tomorrow hello somebody we we won’t

be full of faith today and full of fear

the next day and so there is a working

in your development there is an

happening in your spiritual development

that brings you to a place of solidity

and consistency and it is a sign of your

maturity and it is a pathway to mastery

can we can we go further today are we

tracking together this morning what I

talk about consistent consistency

ultimately what I’m talking about is you

arriving to this state where there is a

rhythm and a flow to your life that

allows everything that God has placed in

you to get out of you oh we’re gonna

teach today it’s a rhythm it’s a flow

consistency it’s a state you become

consistent and becoming consistent is a

process it takes time to reach that

level of consistency I feel that because

some of you are discouraged because

you’re wanting a promise that can only

be manifest when you become consistent

in a season where God is developing your

consistency oh god I feel the Lord he’s

developed and it takes time let me let

me see let me stick to my notes because

because we got a lot of ground to cover

it it takes time that this state of

consistency it takes time watch this

because you have to sort through some

things and you have to first navigate

some distractions to get there you have

to sort through some things and so I

want to talk about this aware Psalm one

comes in I want to talk about the stages

of maturation or the stages of becoming

mature that bring you ultimately into a

place of consistency here the three

stages and we’re going to see how

they’re laid out in Psalm 1 that bring

you to this place of maturation so that

you can become cos anybody want to be

consistent

anybody tired of being consistent up one

day down the next day you know all over

the place we’re gonna get there and I

believe this is God’s will for our lives

and he’s gonna show us how to get there

and I believe he’s laid it out in Psalm

1 and so the stages of maturation are

one clarity two consistency and three

continuous revelation let’s talk about

it go back to Psalm 1 and let’s get into

it and so he says blessed is the man who

look at where he begins he says blessed

is the man who walks not in the counsel

of the ungodly nor stands in the path of

sinners nor sits in the seat of the

scornful so he starts off talking about

what a blessed man does but what is

interesting to me is that as he is

leading us on this journey ultimately to

get us to a place to where we’re trees

planted by the rivers of water that

brings forth our fruit and our season

whose leaf doesn’t wither and whatsoever

we do shall prosper that’s exciting and

he says this is the blessed life the

blessed life is to ultimately get to a

place where you are like a tree planted

by the rivers of water and you just

continue to bring forth in every season

that’s consistency so so we see him

trying to get us to the fruit of

consistency but he has to take us

through the process of becoming

consistent in order to get there can I

teach this morning so we all want to get

there but it’s interesting where he

starts he says blessed is the man and

then he goes quickly into not are you

tracking with me look at look at you

even get this this morning I swear to

the Lord Denver you go good morning he

starts talking about blessed is the man

who walks not in the counsel of the

ungodly nor stands in the path to

sinners nor sits in the seat of the

scornful he enters into this thing

almost seemingly in Reverse this is

the blessed man but the blessed man has

to navigate some things first in order

to be consistent we’ll look at that in

just a second to ultimately live a life

that produces the fruit of God’s

consistency which means that watch this

is important which means that the

blessed person always begins

out-of-place oh you gonna catch it this

morning blessed is the man that walks

not in the counsel of the ungodly nor

stands in the path of sinners nor sits

in the seat of the scornful the writer

is dealing with watch this who we are

not first because in order to be

consistent on the level that God is

calling you to be consistent it is not

about dealing with who you are first in

order to get to who you are you first

have to get through who you are not and

that’s what he’s talking about it’s all

about identity this blew me away

God why are you starting there and it’s

because he understands that the Blessed

man and this takes time the Blessed man

has to wrestle through his confusion and

find clarity in order to reach his

consistency I said it before i’ma say it

again you got to write this down you get

known as I said you got to get this you

have to navigate who you are not before

you can consistently walk in who you are

and the process of watch this unbecoming

is more critical than the process of

becoming oh my guys say that better the

process of not being who your being is

the longest of Phil the Lord is the

longest process on your journey for some

of you

that’s why it seems long it’s gonna take

you a while to figure out who you are

not but once you figure out who you are

not God’s gonna show you who you are and

you’re gonna consistently be you and

walk in the fruit of that consistency I

want to move on but I want to almost

want to stay there for a second you got

to figure out who you’re not that’s why

that’s why that’s why like comparison

comparing yourself to somebody else is

such an unproductive use of life because

what I’m doing when I am comparing

myself to somebody else is I’m trying to

find myself through their reflection are

you tracking with me and that’s because

it is in us to not be I’ve got to work

out who I ain’t I’m trying to lay hold

of Who I am watch this in the

disciplines and the pursuit of Who I am

not you got to get this you got this is

this very important I’ve got to work

through who are not just as passionately

as I try to lay all hold of Who I am I

have to suspect in the moment that I’m

in right now that there’s a counterfeit

trying to drive my life I’ve got to

almost suspect it and this is a process

and it’s a process that takes time and

it’s a process that’s significant and

that’s why the writer starts with it

look at all you some what blesses the

man that walks not in the counsel of the

ungodly so all these things have to do

with identity blessed as the man who

doesn’t walk in the counsel of the

ungodly right because my identity

determines who I connect with and who I

received from who walks not in the past

of

sinners right and sinners old to me

those just not going anywhere right

that’s not a judgment is you’re not

gonna wear nor the seat of the score for

those are just talking talking about it

but not doing nothing just talking just

talking you don’t tell me you ever know

somebody and they’re gonna do a whole

bunch of things I mean they just got a

whole bunch of things that gonna do and

they always talk about what they’re

gonna and you never actually see them do

anything but they are full of ideas and

they’re full of passion for talking he

says you got to get through that that’s

why the this this process of unbecoming

in order to become is I think tied into

that that proverbs verse that we looked

at where it says that that a righteous

man falls seven times what’s interesting

is that word may is not in the original

transcript so really it reads a

righteous man falls seven times and

rises again that word seven is an

interesting word it’s it’s the word Seba

and it means perfected it means seven

but it means perfection that’s where we

get the idea that seven is the number of

completion that’s powerful to me think

about that for a second it says a

righteous man falls seven times and

rises up again don’t you there’s a

connection between someone saying that I

have two unbe come in order to become

and this this proverbs verse which

basically says a righteous man not an

unrighteous man trying to be righteous

but a righteous man has to fall seven

times enough times to get to the place

where he can rise once and for all I

feel the Spirit of God that’s why you

can never count out a person who will

not quit never underestimate a guy come

on somebody will be quick to throw

somebody off and and write somebody off

and throw them away but you never I tell

you what you better bet on somebody who

knows how to get up again and

again and again and are you tracking

with me don’t you count me out I might

fall down but I don’t know how to wear

my people you’ve fallen but you didn’t

let it count you out you’re here right

now Denver where you at you have been

through some stuff you have been through

some struggle some difficulty that wiped

out a lesser man come on somebody that

wiped out somebody else but you said as

long as I’ve got breath in my body I’m

gonna get up and keep swinging

you better not count me out I wish you

would count me out I’ve got a rise up on

the inside of me this is what we do

because I’m after something I’m I’m

still swinging at it I I haven’t arrived

yet I’m I’m forgetting what’s behind

keep swinging what if you were anointed

to struggle on your way to hitting this

Lane of consistency that changes your

life for generations to come

seven times crazy a righteous man I

if I were writing that I would write it

like this the person who may get it

together one day perhaps falls seven

times and hopefully they will rise up

again and be who God has called them to

be that’s not how it was written

see what what the Scriptures trying to

help you to understand is what is normal

what’s normal you count yourself out on

mistake one issue to issue 3 issue 4 and

God realized that he is trying to work

you out of who you are not in order to

get you to who you are and oftentimes

that process has to do with you falling

and making mistakes because every time

you rise up wiser stronger and sometimes

more convinced to avoid foolishness

are you tracking with me you have been

there before sometimes you need a good

licking sometimes seven times sometimes

CC you know they used to say back Andy

you know he what was it your hard what

was it it was your hard a hard head

makes it soft fun

yeah it’s something like that right but

here’s the reality God knows us

sometimes yeah we have to learn the hard

way so sometimes he allows us life to

show us who we’re not let’s keep going

just man’s falls seven times don’t count

me out I’m just learning how to soar

count yourself out and so so the clarity

phase I can’t get to consistency until I

work through clarity and that’s why he

starts off with that blessed is the man

who walks not in the counsel of the

ungodly nor stands in the path of

sinners nor sits in the seat of the

scornful he has to undo some stuff

that’s why God told Abraham before he

can even really launch him into

everything he said now you’re gonna have

to get out of your father’s house now

you’re gonna have to get out of your

country you have to get away from your

family why is your family wrong

no but he’s just saying because you’re

gonna have to unlearn some stuff man I

feel it I feel like there’s there’s some

under the sound of my voice and you’re

asking God how long you’re asking how

long and and God wants you to know that

he’s got his eye on you and he’s got his

hand on you and he’s shaping you and

what you have to do is you’re gonna have

to resist the liar when it comes to you

and tells you that you were past your

time hello somebody that if it hasn’t

happened by now it is never gonna happen

you’re gonna have to resist all of that

because he is a liar and he wants you to

give up before you grow up when the

reality of it is God is shaping you for

conceal the Spirit of God you are

getting ready to meet you that you fall

in love with there’s some people under

the sound of my voice right now and you

don’t even really like you real good not

good you think you like you you you know

you’re you kind of like you but you

don’t like you but you’re getting ready

to see a version of yourself who you

have always wanted to be you are getting

ready to become God is shaping you right

now into something and you are gonna be

consistently that thing and the

restoration that shows up in your life

is gonna be so absolutely wonderful

so absolutely incredible so amazing and

so accelerated that you’re gonna praise

God for the next 10 years if that’s your

word if you claim that for your life

give God a shout for me in this morning

oh yeah yeah yeah yeah God’s just

working something out something just

getting worked out up in here right now

you are just getting worked out

you got a walk out of one thing so you

can step into the next thing and that’s

when consistency is gonna kick in I feel

it that’s why there’s nothing that that

wipes me out emotionally more than the

notion of suicide because suicide takes

place when an individual says it cannot

get better than this it’s when an

individual determines that what I’m

going through at the moment that I’m in

the season that I’m in it’s not working

out for my good at all and I don’t have

what it takes and I’m better off dead

than in my future

and so ultimately it is a giving up

before a growing up and you got a fight

and so what I’m trying to do is I’m

trying to help us to understand what’s

normal it’s normal for things to be

unsettled it’s normal for things to be

shaky it’s normal for you to make

mistakes it is normal for you to go

through a process of unbecoming in order

to become and I think that there’s some

of you getting ready to hit a lane and

you’re getting ready to hit a pocket and

it’s all gonna make sense like in the

text like in the text

so the tech C says in that first phase

that clarity phase that clarity phase

and I believe honestly I believe that’s

the longest season I think the process

of figuring out who you are not is

probably the longest season of your life

can we have a real conversation to

progressively shed off what’s not you I

think I think that’s the longest season

I think it takes decades to shed off

ways associated with who you’re not

things that you you picked up for mom

and dad you picked up generationally I

think that is the longest that I think

that’s the longest season of your life

cuz you’re slowly but surely letting go

of what you ain’t what you not and it’s

hard and you discover it and God is

speaking to you and the other guys

speaking to you and we’re going to touch

on that next week next week it gets

deeper and you’re you’re walking this

thing out and you’re you’re trying to

figure it out and you’re yours there’s

something in you that’s unsettled and

and and you’re just evolving and you are

shedding that’s the longest season but

there’s another season that you come

into and this is a season where you

begin to see things right and you lock

into consistency and so it says blessed

is the man that walks not in the counsel

of the ungodly nor stands in the path of

sinners nor sits in the seat of the

scornful so this is undoing again but

then in verse 2 it says but his delight

is in the law of the Lord and in his law

he meditates day and night that first

phase was kind of shaky and and wait Who

am I I thought I was this but I’m not

that and then I thought I was this and I

thought this was my tribe but it’s not

and I thought that this is how I was

supposed to be but I’m seeing it

it’s not getting me anywhere and I’m not

happy and I’m not whole and I’m not

fulfilled and in that process you

discover the voice of God in that

process the voice of God continues to

come to you and what it might look like

for some of you is as you continue to

come to service or as you continue to

read books or as you continue to watch

what to watch online that all of a

sudden there’s this voice of identity

that is beginning to break through into

your mind and into your heart hmm this

voice of truth about who you are and and

it convicts you about who you’re not and

it breaks through and it breaks through

initially as a small light as a still

small voice but it is breaking through

and as it is breaking through it is

making you discontent with who you’re

not are you tracking with me and and

slowly but surely that still small voice

begins to overwhelm you and it begins to

overtake you and it begins to create a

thirst and a hunger in you for more of

what it says about you because the word

says that every man is given a measure

of faith and so when that word comes to

you it produces faith in you and that

faith begins to grow and grow and grow

and now certain things that used to be

tolerable are no longer tolerable and

you need more of the truth and all of a

sudden you have a new rhythm to your

life you got to keep coming to church

you got to keep listening to podcast you

got to keep reading books because

because something is happening on the

inside of you and the phase of

consistency is when now you are more

committed to that voice than any other

voice for it says that he shifts from

from that that season of confusion and

the lack of clarity to the season where

it says that he begins to delight and

verse 2 he

against the delight in the law of the

Lord the law the word the voice of the

Lord and in his law he begins to

meditate day and night there is

consistency this is the process this is

the beginning of consistency it’s when

it’s when the word stops bouncing off of

your chest and it stops bouncing it

stops going in one ear and out the other

I feel god I hate God saying to someone

to two groups of people one group of

people hear God saying that my word is

working my word is working in your life

I know that you haven’t seen the changes

that you want to see yet but I’m telling

you my word is working it is not on your

time clock it’s on my time clock it’s

working it’s working because some of you

count yourself out because you’re not

where you want to be and you still

consistently make mistakes but I hate

God saying my word is at work in your

life and it’s not gonna return to me

void it’s gonna accomplish everything

that I said my word is at work that’s

the first group the second group of

people is and that’s this particularly I

think this might be for parents but you

are concerned because you have been

praying and you’ve been feeding your

your spouse maybe or your child you’ve

been feeding them with the word of God

and you’ve been putting the word on them

and you’ve been believing God for them

but you’re not seeing any evidence and I

here to tell you too that the word is at

work in that person’s life and in the

end it’s gonna speak I am a witness of

it my mom was feeding me the word she

was praying for me and I was going in a

completely different direction but

without her doing anything other than

praying at the proper time at the right

time everything that she put in me all

of a sudden rose up on the inside of me

and I’m standing here today because of

that if that’s your word take about five

seconds and receive it let it get deep

down in your spirit it’s working it’s

working it’s working you sowing into God

it’s working it’s working there’s some

in this room I feel this prophetically

there’s some in this room and you feel

like you have washed your hands in vain

so there’s some of you you feel like

this thing is not paying off serving God

as

paying off and you came here today and

you were about this close to giving up I

feel you in this room right now Denver

I’m hollering at you and you’re like you

know what God if you don’t do something

I am just throwing this thing in and I

hear God saying don’t you be weary and

you’re well doing for induced season

you’re gonna reap if you don’t give up

and even if you give up I’ve got you I’m

holding on to you in fact you’re not

even in your own sprint right now you

are in my strength I love you I’m for

you I am the one who is keeping you and

I will keep what you committed to me

if that’s you just worship just worship

just worship right now just worship if

that’s you just water the word is

working it’s working it’s working it’s

working a Philip the word is working I’m

speaking to the word that’s on the

inside of you and right now all this is

doing is is adding water to the word

that’s working on the inside of you you

are becoming a tree you’re becoming a

tree you’re becoming it’s working you

haven’t washed your hands in vain you

have impressed in in vain and I know

it’s been long see here’s what people

don’t realize here’s what people don’t

realize people don’t realize

particularly in this this phase of

becoming consistent is this the fruit of

consistency is not immediately evident

it’s not immediately evident so we lock

into something for a moment we’re not

consistent we’re consists Co ans is

that’s not a word and I know that and we

don’t see fruit immediately and we want

to give up see I want to help you to

understand what’s normal

the fruit of consistency is not

immediately evident watch this because

some of you haven’t been you long enough

to produce all that’s in you you have

been you long enough yet that’s all and

instead of giving up because you don’t

see the fruit you got to understand that

what God is doing the more you

consistently become you your roots that

the strength of a tree is not what you

see outside the strength of the tree are

the Brutes that are growing underneath

the ground and it is what is happening

underground that determines what will be

on its branches that’s why you got to

stay planet that’s why you got to be

steadfast be easy on yourself you just

got saved I’m sorry if we promised you

that the moment that you say yes to the

Lord everything is gonna immediately be

okay I’m sorry I promised you that I

didn’t mean to I just got excited about

the goodness of God I forgot to tell you

oh by the way like my wife talked about

the other night that there’s a process

I’m sorry I was just so excited about

all the good stuff but you’re becoming a

tree I see it right now you’re becoming

a tree right now and it takes time to

get those roots deep you know one of the

things saves my birthday man like like

one of the things on my land in a minute

[Music]

at school I screw I didn’t want to do

that right but I appreciate it thank you

[Music]

all right okay that’s great

that was a mistake but I appreciate I do

thank you no furu I appreciate that yeah

so much love I’ve been getting but but

like here’s what I’m learning this is

this is what I’m learning family I’m

learning that it takes time it take it

takes time you can have a dream the

dream comes early Joseph had the dream

when he was a teenager the dream family

particularly those of you younger he’d

hear me today the dream is easy

the consistency takes time don’t don’t

want it so fast because what he’s

talking about here he’s talking about

he’s not talking about coming up and

then falling off in five years look look

what this is it says and he shall be

like a tree planted by the rivers of

water that brings forth its fruit in its

season whose leaf also shall not wither

and whatever he does shall prosper this

is continuous forever which never stops

this is a level family this this is a

thing this is not you know a house a boo

and a new car hey look this is not that

this is tapping into a flow a flow that

is so powerful because you have been

developed for it

that you hit in every season of your

life even when you lose you win this is

not no look cute sugar-coated lollipop

promise and it takes time there is an

old you inside of the current you

praying that you receive these this word

today there’s a there’s a there’s a

because because oftentimes we’re looking

for the thing and we think it’s supposed

to happen fast but I haven’t seen

anything that happened fast last it can

start fast but you have to get into a

process and a rhythm of developing this

thing called consistency man looked it

you know I’ve been in ministry now for

for 17 years

and like honestly and we’re gonna land

just second we understand but honestly

it’s like I didn’t it wasn’t just like

one day fruit showed up and winning

showed up like it didn’t it didn’t

happen like that I look back after a

season of growing and developing which

I’m still doing but a major season of

growing and developing I look back and I

saw my tree branches overflowing with

fruit it doesn’t happen the way you

think it does and that’s the point that

I’m trying to make right now it doesn’t

happen like you think we’re in a culture

now that celebrates instant success

they’re people right now that are

household names that no one had heard of

18 months ago

and here is the thing sometimes it is

the case that 18 months from now you

will not even remember the name so you

have to understand that I am living

against the culture that I’m

consistently being fed with you got a

rock steady you got to stay consistent

you got to learn how to fight

the lies which we’ll get into next week

I gotta land this plane I don’t want to

get ahead of myself but are you tracking

with me when he talks about this thing

being a tree planted by the rivers of

water that brings forth his fruit in his

season whose leaf will not wither and

whatever he does shall prosper man this

is a saint and I don’t know if that

thing young I don’t know if you hit that

thing young I think you got to give a

little gray that’s why I’m growing out

my Gray’s on purpose come on somebody

grown man hashtag grown man live now

yeah yeah yeah because there’s certain

things you want it now but I’m telling

you you got to walk through some stuff

you got to fight some stuff you got to

develop some things you have to be

patient with the process and trust to

know that God is working it and you’re

becoming because ultimately and here’s

where when the land ultimately where God

wants to get your life to is he wants

your life to look like who he is

see if you look at that that third verse

look at it basically what you see in

that third verse is consistency and he

shall be like a tree planted by the

rivers of water that brings forth its

fruit in its season whose leaf also

shall not wither and whatever he does

shall prosper

this is the fruit of consistency you

know what the fruit of consistency is

consistency my reward for becoming

consistent

is to experience consistency in my life

consistency that’s so powerful that I

can pass it down that’s why this is not

a pie-in-the-sky thing God is consistent

the reward is consistent which means

that in order for me to be aligned with

the reward I have to become consistent

says his delight is in the law of the

Lord and in his law he meditates day and

night that is to say that I have tapped

into the voice of God and now instead of

me walking in the counsel of the ungodly

what does that mean that means living

according to the wisdom of those who

don’t get me I love everybody but I

can’t take advice from everybody hello

somebody not for everybody

my life how I walk how I live my life is

the most special thing that I have and

there’s so many hmm how can I put this

nicely so I’m getting older my filters

you know that’s why I’m being more

careful but but there’s so many

prostitutes you a you encouraged me on

out it’s your father

but they’re they’re they’re harlots is

that better that they’re these harlots

out there and they are that’s not any

better I’m sorry but they’re selling

watch this this selling lifestyle I’m

not mad at but I’m just telling you

truth I love you and everywhere you turn

someone is selling you advice and

they’re putting it in books and they’re

putting it wherever you can find it

wherever you can find a quote and

they’re ultimately drawing you to them

hello somebody your walk who you decide

to follow and what you decide to give

your life to it’s precious because your

walk will determine where you end up and

sometimes we’re wasting time listening

to those who do not have the key to me

you might be able to help me here but

you can’t help me I’ve got to tap into

the voice of God for my life because

because my identity can only be found in

one place his voice because only the God

who made you knows how to call you by

your right name

are you hearing me that’s why only God

can call you he is the only one so he

doesn’t even have to call you by your

name

he draws you what he invites you into is

according to the real you that’s how

this man came because I’m done that’s

how this man this blessed man became

consistent he learned how to navigate

and sort out everything that wasn’t him

and somehow in that process he got a

hold of God’s voice he’s not walking in

the counsel of the ungodly you know what

you got good ideas but you ain’t got God

ideas you have good wisdom but you don’t

have God wisdom watch this you are

offering success but not good success

that’s Joshua chapter one he stopped

walking in the counsel of the ungodly he

stopped standing in the path of people

that aren’t going anywhere there’s some

people near on a prophesy right now you

you and you know this is you you know

this is you if you’re in this room and

today it’s gonna stop but sometimes you

put yourself in such in situations and

in companies and with groups of people

and situations that you know isn’t you

you know it’s not you and you’re there

and you’re trying to fit in you’re

trying to fit in so bad and you’re even

like you’re even allowing I feel this

with someone you’re gonna get this gonna

break but you’re even allowing

boundaries to be cross because you’re so

desperate to fit in to something that

the still small voice is saying that’s

not you and you’re compromising and and

people that take an advantage of you and

you get picked on just one prophesy

that’s you stand up and I’m had you come

to Saul

second in Denver I can see as well and

you get picked on you get picked on they

you get people make fun of you but you

want to fit in so bad you want to fit in

so bad

so bad that you begin to compromise

yourself and and you set these

boundaries and next thing you know these

boundaries are consistently violating

violate it and hit got saying today I’m

gonna make my voice so loud in your life

and so true and you’re like I’m gonna

affirm you in such a way today that

you’re not gonna put yourself in that

situation anymore this man this man you

know what I’m landing a plane but why

don’t we all stand for a minute this man

this man he learned how to not walk in

that which wasn’t profitable he learned

how not to to stand in the path to

people that weren’t going in the same

direction that he was going in just

simply for the sake of company he

learned not to sit at the seat of the

scornful you know a lot of time to see

the scornful it is you know scorning

sometimes scorning is to talk about

somebody sometimes when you believe that

God doesn’t have anything for you you

become jealous and you become a hater

and you just you and notice it says the

seat of the scornful everything else

must you know past and you know in the

place and the wisdom and this this

sometimes when you don’t latch on to the

voice of God there is this process of

you going from standing from walking to

standing to sitting and you sit on the

outskirts of life and you criticize

everybody else because deep down inside

you believe that that God has nothing

for you well that’s your past your time

this blessed man navigated all of that I

feel God man when you have tapped into

the voice of God and you know who you

are and you know what God has for you

you’re not critical anymore because

you’re so full of winning that you want

to see everybody win

and if you have a critique you offer

that critique and love because you know

you’re good you track it with me

haters are not bad people they just stop

believing that God has something for

them he worked through that Ailish he

worked through all that and all that you

have to work through in life and it

takes time don’t give up and he locked

into the voice of God in his law he

meditates day and night you know what

okay

this word is shaping me this word knows

who I am

this word is developing me I have got to

lock into this word 24/7 because the

only thing that is going to keep me from

being Who I am not is the voice of God

who constantly affirms me in Who I am

and when you lock into that place I’m

telling you it’s coming

oh and pray for you when you lock into

that place

and it will take time consistency is

coming this one speak that over you

right now

consistency is coming consistency is

coming I’m telling you

stability is coming it’s coming it’s

coming it’s on the way it is your

portion it is your life it’s part of

your future it’s coming if you don’t

give up if you don’t get weary and

you’re well doing I promise you I

promise you

Psalm one in three is gonna be manifest

in your life and I just feel something

so strong I just want to take a minute

and just let God breathe for a second

it’s coming I promise I don’t care what

it looks like now in an instant it will

change you just look up and you’ll say

man I survived I survived man Wow I

didn’t I didn’t even know how I didn’t

even know when I arrived but i but i

arrived and and you’re gonna look back

and you’re gonna see fruit even right

now i want to pray for some people i

feel the holy spirit stirring so strong

in here if you hear and you say pastor

that was for me that was for me i need

endurance i need endurance so that I can

reaches the state of consistency I want

you to meet me at this altar Denver I

want you to come

I need endurance I need I need I need

patience

I need I need strength because it seems

like what I need is not going to happen

what I’m looking for is not going to

happen what I’m after is not going to

happen it seems like it feels like I

want to give up sometimes it’s coming

I’m telling you you’re gonna look back

one day there’s this this song that says

I’ve been young and now I’m old but

never have I seen the righteous forsaken

nor his seed begging bread that’s

powerful and I don’t rely you know for a

long time I couldn’t because I won’t

know I couldn’t really relate to that

you know and I grew up in the church and

most of the people in the church were

older than me and they used to get all

excited about that verse you know it was

literally says I was young and now I’m

old but never have I seen the righteous

forsaken nor his seed begging bread and

they would go off man like whoa never go

off a choice like oh yes and I didn’t

get it because I didn’t really have that

testimony yet you know I still don’t

have it I’m not old I’m like oh like the

l2d that’s not them just like like just

but the older right I got the old one

I’ve been young and now I’m old oh but I

get it family it unfolds and all we have

to do is work on

tapping into the voice of God and

walking in it consistently if you’re

here and I was praying for night I

called you out about about knowing that

you are more than the environments that

you put yourself in I want you to come

forward to because what I want you to do

is I want you to step out of where

you’re at and step into with with those

who are here I’ll see you god bless you

let’s step into this is your company you

see the reality of it is you’re going

somewhere it’s all about consistency

getting there takes time see the reason

why God doesn’t start you off in

consistence inconsistent inconsistency

is because you will be consistent in who

you and who you are not

so what you got to do is you got to

wrestle first and you’re saying God why

is it taking so long not realizing that

you’re in the longest season but it’s

going to turn and there’s lessons in it

and you know what to be honest with you

if you will embrace it there is a

beautiful becoming in it I wouldn’t

change one thing in my past

because that’s a part of the process a

just man Falls a righteous man falls

seven times it is necessary I’m not

saying go out and choose stupid that’s

not what I’m saying we choose wisdom we

choose you don’t I mean we choose well

but I’m just saying the reality of it is

is you’re gonna choose on the level of

your identity which means that you will

choose lesser sometimes as you are

growing and evolving into who you truly

are it’s gonna happen but don’t let it

take you out of the game and don’t let

people take you out of the game oh I

still got on that don’t let anyone

define you by what God was doing to

develop you are you hearing me don’t let

anyone define you by what God was using

to develop you a just man fall seven

times and gets right back up think about

it

how do you fall seven times unless you

were getting up in between the Falls

hello somebody

and even that is the beginning of the

rhythm of consistency I snap out of it

I’ll lick my wounds and I get back in

the fight

again if God has given me breath on this

day I proclaim this is the day that the

Lord has made I’m gonna rejoice and be

glad in it because one day is gonna be

your seventh time I feel the spirit one

day don’t beat yourself up take a minute

sit in it process pray understand it

make adjustments make shifts and once

you do that get right back in the fight

because you’re still in it it gives and

the callings of God are not he doesn’t

take him back he gives those gifts

without repentance he doesn’t take him

back

you’re still called I’m talking to him

trying to stop

you’re still called you’re still chosen

you’re still gonna do great things he’s

still gonna build legacy through you

through your family and the generations

past you it’s the long and he’s gonna

use everything you think that

disqualifies you he’s gonna use and

you’re gonna look back over your life

and you’re gonna see fruit and it’s

gonna be amazing and like God I didn’t

even know that while I was growing you

were building

and you were building you were building

because I didn’t quit are we together

father I thank you so much for what

you’re doing in this house this morning

God God you’re raising up a generation

of men and women a tribe a company that

will walk in something greater than

they’ve ever experienced before in their

life oh god you are first of all

allowing us to understand what is normal

what is normal God and what is

oftentimes the lengthiest part of the

journey is discovering who we are not

blessed is the man who walks not who

stands not who sits not and father I

pray that Lord through these these

simple words that you have stirred

something on the inside of your sons and

daughters that first of all we’ll give

them a tenacity that they didn’t have

when they came in here that would give

them a hope and a belief God that is

stronger than anything that would throw

darts at them and try to convince them

that you are not good in that and that

there isn’t a version of them getting

ready to spring forth that will be

worthy of everything that you promised

them father there’s some here some here

in this room under the sound of my voice

right now who have been settling and I

pray right now God that you’re still

small voice that the law of the Lord the

law of their identity and their destiny

God will just grow louder and louder

stronger God that it would consume them

overwhelm them God I thank you that

they’ll have patience and long-suffering

for the journey thank you for what

you’re doing on the inside of them they

are trees they’re becoming trees

literally trees that you have planted by

the rivers of water and God consistency

is their portion and they will God they

will they will come into a time in their

life where their leaf won’t wither

they’ll bear fruit in every season even

in the season of pain they’ll be fruit

even in the season of loss there will be

fruit even in the season of challenges

there will be fruit that their leaf will

not wither that they’ll mature and

become and whatever they do shall

prosper I thank you that we’re all

growing up into this reality and I just

want to repeat after me Heavenly Father

I thank you for your word I hear it and

I receive it I thank you for the plans

that you have for me plans to prosper me

and not to harm me to give me a future

and a hope I thank you for Jesus thank

you for making him who had no sin all of

mine all of my weakness all of my

shortcomings all of my limitations you

placed in his body nailed it to the

cross and put it to death so that I can

become like God consistent in every way

and God has you raised him up

free and victorious because I’m in him

I’m raised up to Lord I love you I’m

forgetting what’s behind me and I’m

excited about what’s in front of me I

receive this now in Jesus name Amen amen

worship God with hate one second yeah

I’m about to be consistent

you know what’s interesting that word

consistency also as it relates to

cooking is used to talk about the

texture of something a meal that’s being

prepared the consistency of a dish right

and to get that dish to that level of

consistency and it’s consistently that

texture throughout the entirety of the

dish as a process doesn’t start off

consistent things have to be added

to be balanced just right that’s what’s

happening to you you’re getting ready to

be I’m telling you it’s getting it’s

coming I see it all over you I see it

all over you you’re getting ready to

become consistent you’re not gonna be

tossed to and fro you’re not gonna be

wisdom is gonna be so OnPoint that it’s

gonna be like bullseye every time you

throw it it’s gonna hit it right in the

center that’s what it’s coming that’s

mastery but it takes time and you can’t

give up on yourself and you can’t give

up on God and you got to make the tough

decisions amen
