[Music]

I’m so excited to be with you all

um you know right now like I mentioned

earlier we are in a season

um as a church we are fasting for 21

days we began last Sunday and you know

many have joined that fast you know and

our pastor has instructions he posted it

on his social media page but I would

encourage you you know if you are

feeling a tug in your heart in this

season if you’re feeling as though there

is something that God wants to say to

you and reveal to you but it’s not quite

clear you’re having you know dreams you

know consistently but all of them are

kind of blurry or or things like that

it’s like something is not clear to you

the holy spirit is trying to tug on your

heart you know there’s a season that

we’re coming into I think 2023 is going

to be one of the very interesting year

you know in all aspects there’s going to

be a shaking a great shaking that begins

as we enter this new season and it’s

going to be so critical for you to know

who you you are in God it’s going to be

so pivotal for you to understand your

identity in God to know how God will

begin to guide your life you know I’m

believing that we are coming into a time

that would be similar um to the time of

Joseph

right Joseph had foresight he had a

revelation of what was to come he had an

understanding the Lord actually even

gave this is how amazing God is when God

wants to release a word he even gave the

dream to a person who was a non-believer

so that his strategy would not only

unlock reveal the meaning of the dream I

want you to study the life of Joseph

when you have the chance Not only would

he unlock the meaning of the dream but

he would unlock God’s strategy to keep

his people

you see in the time of Joseph everyone

was just having a great time you know

going out going for dinners and

birthdays and whatnot

not realizing that there was a time to

come that they would be a great famine

but Joseph because he had he he received

Clarity he received instructions from

the Lord he had the ability to plan for

a season of drought

and you need a word from God for the

seasons that we’re going into about who

you are who he’s called you to be and

how he’s called you to live right you

know it’s so beautiful Jesus will say

things like man cannot live by bread

alone but by every word that proceeds

from the mouth of God and he’s talking

about two different things here because

on one aspect he’s talking about your

natural body right your natural body

needs food to survive you don’t see

anyone telling you like man you know

that dinner I had two years ago at you

know the steakhouse is sustaining me

right now no that is their Spirit

talking because they died by starvation

okay it’s not possible but then in the

same way that you constantly need to

fuel your body literally the even

um scientists would suggest that the

body can only go without food for a

period of maybe around 40 days and then

our Lord showed that in the Bible right

but they lit they tell you that the body

needs food to survive it needs food to

be equipped for your body to get the

nutrients to function in the way God

designed but in the same way Jesus says

but every word that proceeds out of the

mouth of God because the essence of who

you are the essence of your truth can

only be sustained by the word of God you

cannot be in this year or going into the

new season talking about a word you

received from 2001.

is what is keeping you you need God

moves in a rhythm he moves in a flow

that’s why sometimes even in the Bible

you’ll see that in Revelation that the

holy spirit will be likened to a river a

stream there’s it’s always it’s moving

it has a flow to it and when you’re

walking with God you move in his flow

that’s why the word of God also tells us

that those who are led by the spirit of

God are the sons of God not about gender

but position but those who are LED that

God orders the steps of the righteous

there is somewhere you’re going

you don’t stay stuck in what you’ve

heard or what you’ve known you you stay

available you stay open-minded God what

is it that you want to tell me about my

life and this is not a posture of

anxiety

it’s not a posture of panic

it’s not a posture of always being

worried about God I hope I’m making the

right decisions God I hope I’m in the

right place but it’s for you to open up

your heart in a way of surrender God at

any point in time disrupt my life

if if some if how I’m walking is not in

sync with what you know about my life

that I’m always available for you to

give me a word that disrupts my life

you see this is a prayer you have to

make with clarity

not emotional

because when you’re down in the dump

you’re just like God disrupt me now okay

you can’t matter of fact you’re wasting

time on this disruption

but when life is going well

you pause a little bit right there was a

story of a rich young ruler

that comes to Jesus and he’s like Master

what shall I do to inherit eternal life

and Jesus already Discerning where his

heart is

Jesus already Discerning that this man

first of all the Bible says he was a

rich young ruler

so at a young age he was able to acquire

such a powerful status at a young age he

was moving in the wisdom that much

people much older than him has not even

functioned in

and perhaps that began to Define him

Jesus discerned that his heart was not

really with the Lord was not to follow

God but that he found worth not in God

but in his status

so the Bible describes him as a rich

young ruler and he comes to Jesus he

says good Master what shall I do to

inherit eternal life right Jesus tells

him all these things I love how Jesus

Jesus already knowing where he’s going

he’s like yeah you know do this you know

the Commandments follow the Commandments

and all that stuff and the man is like

oh I’ve done all of that I’ve done that

since I was a kid but check this if

there was something that was that was

calling on to him this is the beauty of

the Holy Spirit there is a moment where

the Holy Spirit Will begin to Quicken

your heart there is more to you than you

know about yourself there is more to you

than your titles than your accolades and

your wins there is something that God

wants to reveal about your life and this

man being drawn to that he was like okay

there is something that is not quite

right and he goes to Jesus because his

heart is searching but then he was still

Bound by his own desires so his heart is

searching but he really doesn’t want

change his heart is searching but he

doesn’t really want God to disrupt his

life so he goes to Jesus Jesus tells him

all of that he’s like God I’ve done all

of that and then Jesus tells him sell

everything you have and give it to the

poor

Jesus was not trying to have this man go

broke

but Jesus was trying to release the

bondage that wealth had over him

he says it’s not going to be possible

for you to follow me and be bound

because where the spirit of the Lord is

there is freedom there is liberty so

when you come in the presence of Jesus

anything that looks like bondage over

your life he begins to reveal it he

brings it to the light and shows you how

to Let It Go but it’s your choice

and this Rich Young Ruler the Bible says

that literally he walked away

that what Jesus told him to do revealed

where his heart was and if he was really

willing to change if he was really

willing to receive a new identity and

here is the sad part the Bible says he

walks away sorrowful

so he walks away

but he’s in sorrow because as he’s

walking away he’s killing a sensitivity

that is telling him there is more to

your life

there is more than this there are things

about your life that you don’t even know

and as he’s walking away he’s killing

that voice and he’s causing him to be

sad because then he will never know what

that thing is

he would only stick to where he has been

he would only stick to his experiences

in life and you see when we when we talk

about this experience that the Lord

began to show me this interesting

connection or or not even connection

this

um I would even say connection between

experience and Truth

right because oftentimes our experience

betrays us from receiving truth

you know I want to read to you the word

of God that came to a prophet named

Jeremiah before he knew what God knew

about him

because your life was always what was

designed by God to be a mystery to you

and to the world

because God reveals elements and layers

of your life according to times and

seasons

he doesn’t tell you everything at once

he reveals it when the the time demands

that part of you to come out when the

times that you’re in and the season that

you’re in demands something that God

placed in you to be revealed so check

this out it says in Jeremiah 1 5 to 10

and if you’re taking notes my word today

is God who am I

had a vision and that’s what really

inspired this message when I was asking

the Lord what is it you want to you want

me to tell your people and I had this

vision of there was just a crowd of

people and they’re looking up and

they’re all asking the same question who

am I

and then the Lord showed me this so

Jeremiah 1 5-10 it says then the word of

the Lord came to me saying before I

formed you in the womb I knew you before

you were born I Sanctified you I

ordained you a prophet to the Nations

then said I ah Lord God behold I cannot

speak for I am a youth but the Lord said

to me do not say I am a youth for you

shall go to all to whom I send you and

whatever I command you you shall speak

do not be afraid of their faces for I am

with you to deliver you says the Lord

then the Lord put forth his hand and

touched my mouth and the Lord said to me

behold I have put my words in your mouth

Jeremiah what I’m calling you to do I

will equip you

see I have this day not yesterday not

tomorrow Jeremiah I’m revealing

something to you that speaks to the

alignment of who you should be on this

day

in this season of your life this word is

coming to you because Jeremiah in order

for you to function in truth you need to

know who you you are called to be and

what it needs to be revealed out of you

in this season he said see I have this

day

set you over the Nations and over the

kingdoms to root out and to pull down to

destroy and to throw down to build and

to plant Jeremiah there is an authority

that has been released over your life on

this day because it is in alignment with

what my will has always been for you and

I need you to receive it but as I’m

reading this I’m seeing the difference

between truth and experience

because God is speaking to Jeremiah from

a place of Truth Jeremiah before I

formed you I knew you

before your your parents knew about you

before you even knew about yourself

before you knew how to say your name

before you knew when they asked you how

old are you too you know

before any of that

I knew you

and I had a purpose for you when I sent

you on this Earth I sent you as a word I

sent you as a strategy I sent you to

reveal my glory in a unique way Jeremiah

I knew you but Jeremiah is having a bit

of difficulty to receive the truth of

God’s word because of his experience

he said no no Laura don’t say that I’m

only a youth I can’t speak and the Lord

is like don’t say that

because I’m not speaking to you as this

good idea I’m not giving you what I

think will be a great you know option

for your life in this time I’m speaking

to you from a realm that is Jeremiah the

books have been written before time and

this is what it says about you you are a

prophet to the Nations this little kid

and the Lord is just disrupting his Norm

with this truth and I began to think

about how many of us are like Jeremiah

and not just us it’s even how

organizations function

you know I was watching the news the

other day

and Blockbuster and some of you I’m

saying Blockbuster you don’t even know

what I’m talking about but I would I

would explain it a little bit but they

were doing this immersive um pop-up

experience where you know you come in

and there was a time where Blockbuster

used to be like the leading home

entertainment any movie you want to

watch you go to a blockbuster star you

you know you get the movie and whatnot

but they were the lead and so they’re

having this pop-up experience and

they’re interviewing people and they ask

the lady you know how did this feel and

she was like wow you know it was so

nostalgic and they’re like and you know

they’re just cheering her on and I’m

like I know she meant that as a

compliment but I’m hearing it as an

insult

and this is why I say that because when

you say something is nostalgic you’re

like man it just it makes me miss the

past you know the good old days

but Blockbuster was not supposed to be

in the past it’s not supposed to be a

feeling of the good old days

you see because in their Prime you know

they used to be worth like around six

billion dollars right

and Netflix came to them

to say hey you guys should buy us you

know the CEOs came to them they were

like hey we’ll sell our company to you

they were feeling themselves because of

their experience they’re like look what

we do works for us right this thing you

guys have going on yeah we’re not

interested because at that time Netflix

was only worth about 50 million

and so they’re like first of all we are

in the billion category you know so you

and your little chef can just stay long

right

and so they’re feeling themselves

because of experience they’re like look

this is what works this is what the

market likes

but then you fast forward many of you

don’t even know what I’m talking about

but Netflix that used to be worth 50

million is currently has a market cap of

about 145 billion and so when I’m

looking at this I’m like if somebody in

that company heard a word from the Lord

[Music]

had a vision a dream something to show

them what is coming

they would have equipped themselves

differently they would have not been so

stuck in what has always worked for them

because you see when God is giving you

Visions not just about your life but

even your business he has seen the end

from the beginning and experience is

what hinders innovation

and the same thing that happens to us in

when God speaks to us God is telling you

something about your life

and maybe it’s that you’ve had a

colorful past

you’ve had a crazy Pastor like God that

could never be me and he’s like look I’m

not looking at you from the lens of what

you’ve experienced I’m not looking at

you from the lens of your mistakes I’m

not looking at you through any of that I

look at you through my through the truth

you see that’s why Jesus said I am the

way the truth and the life everything

that flows out of him is truth I was

even wondering the other day I was I was

listening to music and I thought about I

was like man if Jesus was in our time

what kind of songs would he sing you

know because for him to say the words

then it has to be true this was just a

random moment I was having

but

at the end of the day whatever God

speaks speaks to you

he’s not saying something that could be

he’s saying what is but God will not

force an identity that you don’t want to

embrace

you see this is the difference between

being a child of God and a son of God

because Sons recognize position

Sons Embrace what the father says and

Sons understand their inheritance in God

because they’ve said yes to God

he said God began to show me this

difference you see recently just I was

sharing we’re on the fast and some of

our leaders we get together and we we

have prayer calls together and on one

particular prayer call we just listen to

worship so that the father can speak to

us and we set our heart to understand

the price that Jesus Paid for us and as

we were in that place of just Worship

the Lord gave me this Vision that

wrecked me and I saw what looked like an

umbilical cord that came from the father

to every creation on Earth in humanity

and I was like God what is that and he

began to show me there is an umbilical

cord that connects me with every human

being on the Earth

he said every single person is my child

every single person and I was so I was

so intrigued by that I was like let me

understand what the umbilical cord does

between a mother and a child

and so when I did some research it talks

about how that through the umbilical

cord oxygen flows from the mother to the

child which is what gives the child life

but simultaneously as oxygen is Flowing

the waste products from the child is

removed through the mother

so the mother gives the child life and

the mother removes their waste and they

began to show me this image of what

Jesus did on the cross you see the Bible

says that he was the lamb slain before

the foundation of the world before he

even created an Adam and an eve that

would fall and sin he created a way

because it’s already in his nature the

Lord began to show me that the umbilical

cord between a mother and a child is

only the physical representation of a

spiritual reality he said I already

factored to take away your mess

I already factor to take away your sins

I already factor to take away the things

that cause you to to live under this

weight of Shame and guilt I factored it

and I revealed it on the cross

that was a strategy to clean us up

so that we will never have an excuse to

say God I’m so filthy

God God how can I do this thing you’ve

called me to do what have you seen my

life have you seen the things I’ve done

have you seen the pain I’ve caused and

he said look there is an umbilical cord

that connects me to you you are my child

whether you know it or not that’s why

the spirit of God the the word of God

tells us that it is the spirit that no

one goes to God on their own will the

spirit draws you but you know why it

could draw you because it is connected

to you even when you did not know the

Lord

but when he draws you you have to answer

the call

God will not force himself on you he

will not force an identity on you but he

wants to show you I factored all of this

on the cross the very excuse you’re

giving to say that you cannot do what

I’ve called you to that you cannot be

who I’ve called you to be I factored

that on the cross

a a factor to clean up everything that

the enemy could use to taunt you to

torment you that feeling of unworthiness

on the cross

that feeling of Abandonment on the cross

everything you thought could you

on the cross that’s why the Bible says

that Jesus that on the cross he led

captivity captive

that everything that could hold his

people bound he bounded in his body and

that was what died on the cross not him

you see the Lord just began to show me

this weight of love that he has for us

because when you’re just like man God

that’s not for me have you read about

the disciples

Jesus the Messiah the King of Kings and

the Lord of Lord comes on the Earth

and the people he gathers around him as

his team

we’re not the people respected by men

these were ordinary folks they were

businessmen there was a guy who was

despised by so many people because he

was a tax collector I’m sure he’ll be

despised today as well right

they were listen

[Laughter]

ing

but these were ordinary guys there were

people that didn’t believe in him there

was a guy named Thomas and we’ve given

him the nickname Darling Thomas

and then you have Judas the one who

betrayed Christ

but here’s the thing about Judas Judas

was called by God

you see Judas represents what it looks

like to reject the voice of God

to not embrace your identity in God

because God is Not Petty

Jesus is not Petty

he labored to understand who should be

the the apostles the Bible tells us that

Jesus literally he went on a mountain

praying asking The Father revealed to me

who the apostles are because many

disciples followed him

because a disciple is literally a

follower of Christ but the apostles is

different these are the people that lay

the foundation of God’s church that lay

the foundation of what it is that God

wants to do in the world so when Jesus

goes up to the mountain

praying like Father revealed to me who

are these people Judas was amongst them

Judas was not mentioned as an apostle

just to betray Christ that would be

Petty

Christ did not need Judas to identify

him he could identify himself

he could have said hey here I am who

you’re looking for that’s me right

he didn’t need all of that

because Judas yes the Bible tells us

that Judas betrayed the Lord so we have

understanding but Judas really betrayed

himself

because when you think about betrayal

the end result is always negative when

you think why why is it that we have

offense sometimes and resentment and

unforgiveness when someone betrays you

because the outcome was negative so you

feel like someone stole something from

you but judas’s betrayal Let Jesus write

into purpose

so it wasn’t a betrayal of Christ

but really he betrayed himself

because he was not functioning from the

truth of who an apostle was supposed to

be

he was supposed to be laying down the

foundations he was supposed to posture

himself in a way that the Holy Spirit

would use him so mightily instead of

that he sold out

for what 30 you know coins of silver or

whatever

and here’s the thing about Judas I

always thought that man judas’s lust

problem was what got him that that Judas

just had this thing where you know it

just had a hold on him

but then the Lord began to open my eyes

that was the surface issue

because you see the disciples yes they

followed God you know some of them

they’ve already someone like Peter Peter

would have a revelation that oh you are

the Messiah the Son of the Living God

and all that stuff some of them they had

an idea of who he was that’s why Jesus

would have some moments he would ask

them you know who do people say that I

am and who do you say that I am because

Jesus also realized that some of the

disciples were following him for

what they perceived he should do

because in the time of in the time that

Jesus walked the Earth the Israelites

were under the Roman rule

and it was an oppressive Rule and so

they were trying to get free from it so

when Jesus shows up they were like the

Messiah has come to set us free from the

Romans

and so they’re following him waiting to

you know like you know when is this

gonna happen you know when when are you

gonna overtake this Kingdom and that is

why if you ruin you read the Bible it

talks about how there was a moment where

the people tried to make Jesus a natural

King

because they assume that the Messiah

should give us this kind of Freedom not

realizing he came to release them from a

bigger oppressor

that when he can remove the power of

death the power of Sin from their lives

it would equip them with the Holy Spirit

and they could bring the change they’re

looking for

but they didn’t realize that the vision

that Jesus has was much bigger they were

thinking too small

and so when Jesus is going to the Cross

that’s why Peter would rebuke him he’s

like what Lord you cannot go and Jesus

looks at him and he says get behind me

say and your mind is on things of this

world because Peter was still

small-minded so Jesus you’re talking

about dying and Judas is listening to

this conversation Judas is like wait

hold up so you’re not going to give us

freedom from the Romans let me get what

I can while I got you

so so Judas was functioning from a place

that he didn’t realize that everything

Jesus did was an expression of love

Judith’s problem was not that he had a

lust issue about money or whatever

judas’s problem was that he was not

established in God’s love

he wasn’t established that even the

death of Christ was an expression of

love

you see the Bible will say something

like you know this was Jesus speaking to

his disciples he said No Greater Love

can anyone have than to lay down their

lives for their friends

this is what he told his disciples No

Greater Love

can anyone demonstrate but to lay down

their life for their friends Jesus kept

teaching them kept giving them hints

what I’m doing

is an expression of great love

I’m not gonna abandon you

but it is an expression of my heart for

you

and that’s why even when Judas betrayed

Christ

when he came because but the Betrayal

was by a kiss right like he will kiss

who the Messiah is and when he comes to

Jesus to give him a kiss Jesus tells him

friend

do what you have come to do

but here is the thing when you read that

scripture through the lens of love

Jesus calling him friend was intentional

he was trying to remind jug his memory a

little bit I just told you no greater

love

does one have but to lay down their

lives for a friend Judas even in the

moment of what you think is a betrayal I

love you

and what I’m doing can clean up this

mess

but Judas did not know how to handle

because that’s why all of a sudden he’s

he’s he’s just filled with guilt

and guilt in the wrong hand can lead to

very things that are very disastrous

guilt in the hands of the enemy is what

caused him to kill himself

because with that guilt the enemy will

torment and you where you start

feeling like it’s not worth it I I don’t

I don’t need to live anymore

but guilt in the hands of God he would

show you hey I already cleaned that up I

already factored that

and while I’m sharing this is that there

are many people who are acting even like

Judas right now

God has given you a word

and and you’re not you don’t you don’t

you’re not following Jesus because of

the word he gave you

you’re following him to supply you with

what you want for your life

you see many many of us we use Jesus as

a vehicle for other things

right and one of the ways you can tell

is just examine how you your prayers and

your fast

do you spend time in fasting and in

prayer to know what is on the heart of

God or to lay down all your requests

and all your desires do you take time to

say God you know what this is I have

this opportunity coming up I want your

will yes I’m going to pray that you give

me favor but God if it does not happen

if this is not an alignment with your

plan for me shut the door examine your

prayer life and it will let you know if

Jesus is your lord or your vehicle

because many times we’re just using

Jesus name for our desires

Lord I walked in a church I saw this

person wow they looked at me the way

they worshiped God I just pray that you

would just let them look my way

but have you taken the time to say God

like who do you have for me

you know let me not just place this

desire before you but you reveal to me

is this on your heart for me

so that I’m not using in Jesus name as a

vehicle

but truly I’m using in Jesus name as a

way of submission God you show me you

see Judas was following Jesus

because of what he could constantly get

from him

but Jesus kept him on the journey

because he’s banking on men if you could

only get a little closer to me then

transformation will begin to take place

I want you to examine what is your

relationship with God like

is it for you

for the things according to the level of

your experience

or is it to encounter truth

you see one of the mission of our house

is that we would encounter with not even

just encounter we would embrace our true

selves

the truth of who you are is in Christ

and I truly believe that we are in a

season that God wants to reveal new

names to you

new levels of authority to you the

things that he’s always known about you

before time

and it’s not based on what you’ve done

in Life or any of that it’s just based

on truth

it’s based on who you are

and it’s time to rid yourself of the

baggage of Shame and guilt and

unworthiness and sin and all of that and

realize that all of this was factored on

the cross God still chose you

he still calls you his child but he

wants to bring you into sonship

that from being a child of God that you

will become a Son of God led by the holy

spirit always open and always being able

to surrender your ways for his ways

because when you do this this is how you

stay at the top and not the bottom the

Lord says that he’s called you to be the

head and not the tail to always move in

sync with him that at no point in life

would life catch you unawares would you

feel like oh my gosh that life is just

coming at you and it’s bearing you with

all these issues in the world no you

would be ahead of the time because you

are connected to the one who is outside

of it

and so I don’t know what words God is

speaking over you right now

but if you’re asking that question God

who am I what do you have for me it’s in

his word

it’s in his word that is whenever God

gives you a gift and you feel

overwhelmed by that gift

the that feeling of being overwhelmed is

because you’re judging the gift

according to who you think you are

but God in knowing who you are

is releasing what is adequate to your

capacity

and so family

I believe today there is a Grace for you

to be set free

to be set free from the lies to be set

free from the traps of the enemy and I

want to encourage you if the Lord is

pulling on your heart maybe you’re

already on the fast but if the Lord is

pulling on your heart to fast join the

fast as 21 days were on day eight today

in your own way but let there be a

sacrifice let let you let it cost you

something

and let it cost you something that

causes you to spend time with the Lord

because sometimes we just think that

we’re fasting and we’re not eating but

we’re not praying that’s a diet

[Laughter]

that’s a quick diet so you could fit

into that dress by Sunday right

or a suit or something

but if you’re fasting create time let it

cost you something that brings you into

God’s presence

I believe there’s so many words that is

stored up that God wants to reveal in

this time and not only does he want to

reveal it it’s for you to embrace it and

so something I would even encourage you

to do is to meditate on the love of God

meditate on God’s love for you you would

be blown away by what he begins to show

you

you see there’s a scripture in the Bible

that talks about how in order for us to

be filled with the fullness of God

that we have to comprehend the the love

of God that goes beyond knowledge that

surpasses all knowledge the connection

before to to move in power and authority

in the name of God is connected to

understanding his love for you

because in his love you have rest in his

love you have peace in his love you are

not shaken by the battle that comes

because you recognize if there’s a

battle coming it’s actually coming

because I’m anointed to overcome it

you see something that was recently just

blown away by is David

is anointed king and all of a sudden

Goliath shows up

Goliath doesn’t even know the only

reason that they had this strategy for

him to show up and act like a bully is

because the one who will take him down

is aware of himself

and and so the Lord anoints David

and so when Goliath shows up David is

like oh I’ve been anointed for this

and you have to realize that when

opposition comes to you you see that’s

why the the enemy is the ruler over

Darkness

anytime you find yourself afraid about

opposition anytime you find yourself in

fear about challenges and obstacles

don’t settle there

get out of that and begin to ask God

give me Revelation

because I’m only afraid because I don’t

know who I am

only afraid the enemy can only use this

against me because he is using my my

ignorance which is Darkness to

manipulate me

because in the reality of the matter

when God allows you to experience

opposition when God allows it is because

you’re bigger than it

it is the same reason that God would

allow the enemy to have access in the

Garden of Eden

because they were they had they were

they were over him they had authority

over him so yeah let him he could he

could chat with you guys if he wants to

the serpent was having a conversation

with Eve God never rebuked the serpent

for having a conversation

God never he was like no I created the

garden and that’s all right if he wants

to come do you think God is threatened

by Satan Satan literally the Bible tells

us how their their places in heaven that

Satan still accesses right he would just

walk in and say hey what’s going on guys

and God is having conversations with him

have you considered my servant job

he’s not threatened by him because how

can you be threatened by what is under

you

and so

when God allows you because the reality

is that if you think that that every

opposition you experience it did not

pass a check mark by the Lord

because trust me if the enemy had his

way we would all be dead

if the enemy had his way we would not be

here

so when God allows you to experience a

position it’s actually a strategy for

you to realize who you are

that you are bigger than this that

you’re in a season that I’m calling you

to rise up higher because in this season

I want to reveal to you a new truth

about your life

but you have to embrace it when you

reject that truth that is why how life

can crush a person

because the thing you’re complaining

about is the thing you have been given

victory over

and so I want to pray with you

I want to pray with you today

if you know you have been feeling just

stand with me in this moment

and what I want you to do as we have

altar calls I want you to recognize that

when I’m asking you to come out of your

seat and come to the altar that I want

you to see it as a prophetic Act

that I’m coming out of complacency I’m

coming out of the Comfort I’m coming out

of Shame I’m coming out of guilt I’m

gonna make a decision

that the enemy you can’t have my mind

you can’t have my purpose you can’t take

that from me you see in the enemy’s

strategy the Bible tells us that he has

come to still kill and destroy

but the first phase is to steal

if you can steal that word from you

if he can steal from what God has said

about you

then everything else is easy for him the

the word doesn’t say the enemy has come

to destroy or come to kill and destroy

it and steal no no no it starts with

theft

if I can steal from you if I can rob you

of what God said to you the rest is easy

I don’t want you to be so crippled by

all these things that don’t matter

and maybe you I I’ve been even when I

was in prayer for you I just kept

sensing that many are so heavy by the

pain they’ve also caused others

but there is a Grace for that when

you’re truly repentant of Hearts yes

there are consequences to actions

but then the Lord also knows how to heal

not only your heart but the hearts of

those

that your life in the state of ignorance

caused Brokenness and pain

and I say state of ignorance because you

just didn’t know who you were

[Music]

there is a Grace for that God knows how

to God God knows how to cause all the

pieces to work together when you come in

alignment with his plan for your life

that’s why that word it not only says

that God causes everything to work

together for good it says for the good

of those who are called

right

it gives you the understanding of

purpose

that when I align myself with the

purpose of God

he knows how to make everything work

together for good and he said everything

all things

when you come in alignment I can cause

all things the things about your life

you want to hide the things you wish you

could bury I don’t know how many people

watch on this show Black Mirror they

haven’t had a new season in a while

but in the show it’s it’s incredible

what they use technology to do

right if you could wipe away some of

your memory you say please just wipe all

that away but God is like no no no keep

it there keep it there because I want to

show you that I had a strategy for it on

the cross

and I can use all things to work for

your good I am not only your Lord I’m

their God too

I know how to speak to them I can heal

them of things

but it starts with your decision

are you gonna stop running

and are you just going to say yes to God

because he’s going to equip you

you see the Lord did not just tell

Jeremiah Jeremiah you’re going to be a

prophet and you got to figure out what

I’m thinking

he said you’re going to be a prophet and

I have put my words in you

what God has called you to do

the seasons of your life some of your

experiencing change and transitions

how God is Shifting your life he would

equip you for the task

he would equip you for the world he

would equip you for the changes that are

taking place

he will equip you

don’t feel like man I never saw someone

do this I don’t have any reference for

this God will equip you

when you read the Old Testament when you

read even like numbers and then you know

some of the things that feel boring to

read in the Old Testament

you’ll realize that God will literally

even equip people with skill sets

that the holy spirit will give people

the ability to be Craftsmen it’s

mind-blowing

but God knows how to equip you God will

teach you about who you need to be in

this new season

if you would just listen to his voice

and so if you know you’re in the house

and you’ve been just dealing with just

this sense of unworthiness and not

feeling like you’re you’re like God I

don’t think I’m the one for the job and

you’re willing to say my experience will

no longer speak for me but I’m going to

embrace truth I want you to meet me at

this altar right now

thank you Jesus

thank you Lord

thank you Lord

thank you Lord thank you Lord and as

they’re coming let’s just praise God on

their behalf come on somebody

amen amen amen don’t worry about who’s

next to you none of that none of that

none of that I always say that my

freedom is is much more important to me

than your validation

thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank

you Lord if you know you’ve been running

you know you’re like the running man you

know if you watch Forrest Gump run for

it that is you right

if you know you’ve been running from the

word of God you’ve been running from the

instructions of God I want you to come

to this altar

God has shown you things about your life

and you have not embraced it and I love

it recently our pastor was talking to us

at a dinner about what it means to

embrace the word of God it shows up in

your life your your habits your you know

your decisions are all they begin to

reflect that truth

and also your attitude right you’re not

just doing something because oh God said

you’re doing it with joy like man this

is me right

so you’ve been running I want you to

come down right now thank you Lord

thank you Lord come on

amen amen amen

amen

amen look at that can we just praise God

just continue to praise him in this

house

amen

[Applause]

they are slower

you see there’s someone you’re still in

your seat and what the Lord is telling

me about you is that where he’s calling

you into and this is an experience that

many of us have so I want you to realize

that you are not alone

for many of us our pain began was the

place of our ministry

and what the Lord is showing me

and this is a guy in particular

and

foreign

I know what I’m gonna say would be hard

to to receive and walk down but as you

walk it’s every step you take it’s gonna

break off shame

because I’m seeing that the the role

some of the things that God has been

speaking to you about is connected to an

impact in the lives of women

but at the same time you are crippled by

the ways that you have engaged with

women in the past

it’s like God if you’re gonna use

anybody it’s not me

it’s certainly not me for this

but there’s a vision God has given you

and it’s a Clear Vision but it would

impact the lives of women and your your

you’ve been struggling and I believe the

Reason God is making this so clear is

that he wants you to know that you are

the one

for that assignment

and if you will have the courage to just

walk out of your seat

then even I will promise you this as a

Ministry we would see how we can back

you up thank you Jesus thank you Lord

thank you Lord thank you Lord thank you

Lord thank you Lord just love on him I

see you just give him a big hug right

there thank you Jesus thank you Jesus

and after service I would love for you

to just meet with us all right

what God has placed on your heart it’s

for you

God wants to do a mighty work through

you

and this is just a representation that

all that stuff God said I factored it on

the cross you did not know who you were

when you made those decisions you did

not know who you were

but I’m speaking to you from the realm

of Truth and I will cause people to help

you

because there is help on the way you see

everything God says about you the moment

you begin to align with it all of a

sudden your alignment has a sound it has

a it has a sound

and then all of a sudden people are

waking up with you in mind they’re like

man I need to just call this person have

you had those moments where when you

said yes to God people just start

randomly calling you like hey how are

you doing that how are you doing means

that they don’t know why they’re calling

you but there is something God is

bothering them about you you should say

man I’m doing good by the way I’ve been

working on this project you know let me

tell you about it because as you begin

to speak the vision it connects to

Something in them that is like I think

this this is probably what’s going on

here your alignment has a sound it

causes things to start coming together

in a way that you cannot even understand

now if you’re in the house before we

pray

maybe you just walked in here you know

I saw this um

this video

this guy literally was like man I just

left one Church they got some beautiful

women in that shirt

it cracked me up so much because hey

maybe you walked in here because you

said where are all these young people

walking into

right because you’re like look the

pandemic messes all up and um

I can’t meet nobody at the grocery store

no more

there’s laughter in there in the house

of God Amen

but maybe you just you like you came in

here for different reasons maybe a

friend just invited you randomly or you

were like look wherever they’re going I

want to go to

but on the way you encountered God

on the way something happened you

thought you were just passing by yeah

let me just check this thing now let me

see what it’s all about

but in this moment you cannot shake off

what God is doing in your heart you

cannot shake off that the savior of your

soul is calling you into relationship

and intimacy even for our Global family

watching right now maybe someone just

randomly sent you the link you’re like

hey check out this message

and you’re like yeah I’m not I’m not too

much into that Jesus stuff but you can

shake off

that you thought you were just listening

to someone talking but then the Lord

begins to reveal himself to you

so if you’re in this house and you’re

like man that is me

and I want to make the Lord my Lord and

Savior

I want to submit my life to this God

that you guys are talking about I can’t

explain it but there’s something

happening in my heart that I cannot

shake off

not only are we going to lead you into a

moment of prayer but we want to get you

plugged in in community groups and so

many things so we’re going to have this

yes the Salvation screen is right behind

me but I want to give you a moment to

have a bold declaration of your Yes to

God

so if you’re in this house or you’re

watching online and you’re saying man I

want to give Jesus my life I want to

make him my Lord and Savior then I want

you so loudly just raise up your hand if

you want to raise up both hands you can

do that too thank you Jesus thank you

Lord thank you Lord can we just praise

God for what has taken place in this

house

amen and if you’re watching our Global

family just put in the chat that’s me

that’s me we see you we’re praying for

you right now Heavenly Father we thank

you Lord

we thank you Lord that you are so good

you are so merciful you are so faithful

your word literally gives us the promise

that surely goodness and mercy shall

follow us all the days of our lives

Lord what is happening in this room is

such

a revealing of your mercy

I thank you Lord for those who have

stepped out

and they’re saying that my experience

will no longer keep me Bound To Your

Truth

my experience will no longer hinder me

from embracing who you say I am

God who am I I am your word

so it is your word that keeps revealing

the essence of my identity

heavenly father I thank you

that there is a Grace right now that is

being poured out on your sons and

daughters oh God thank you Jesus thank

you Jesus there is a Grace right now

right now

and they will not even realize

how this Freedom came about

they will not even realize that the

things that used to keep them bound all

of a sudden they can’t even find it they

can’t even find The Taste over the

appetite for it they will look for guilt

and they can’t find it they will look

for shame and they can’t find it and the

enemy will try to remind them even

through people but they will say nah

that’s not me

and then begin to ponder wow where did

that come from

there is a Grace that is Flowing right

now

thank you Jesus I thank you that your

sons and daughters will know that they

are not doing Life by themselves

but that you are the one walking with

them

have your way Lord

and I just want everyone to say with me

especially for those who said yes to

Jesus but we’re gonna just come you know

come side by side by you Lord Jesus

[Music]

I confess

that you are my Lord and my savior

Lord I know

that on the cross

you died for my sins

but when you were raised up

I was raised up too free and Victorious

so Heavenly Father

make my heart your home

oh thank you Lord can we just celebrate

God in this house

[Applause]

blessing over you may the Lord God keep

shine upon you and may He grant you all
