[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

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
