pre-order the book you don’t want to
miss it it has tremendously blessed my
life and i can’t wait for you to see
what i’ve already partaken in balance is
going to rock this world okay let’s get
into the word
i’m so excited to be with you all today
i believe that the word that god has
instructed me to
speak on is going to bring so much
healing
even in things that we did not realize
you know recently
how many of us know that words are
powerful first of all
right and we say this we we often say it
yet our words can be very careless and
idle
and recently something happened to me
that really revealed to me just how
weighty our words are and when that
revelation hit me the lord now
instructed me that this is the message
i’m going to teach on and so i really
had to spend some time with the lord to
unpack it more because when there is
understanding you are empowered right if
i just told you something and you don’t
understand it and you don’t know how to
apply it to your life the enemy can
still keep you in that trap but when you
have understanding your faith is
strengthened to walk the walk that god
has called you to live out
and so recently i recognized just how
strong our words are
you see in my life there are very few
things that happen to me that surprise
me
and i say that because
god often would reveal to me things
before it happens to the point that when
it does you know if something happens
and it shocks me i started to question
my life you know i started considering
my ways i said god have i fallen
i said where are we god you know what’s
going on where’s our relationship at
and i say this because
a couple years ago you know when you’re
you know during my single phase praise
the lord
during that time in my life right and
it’s a beautiful time i was living my
best life
but during that time i remember when the
lord would tell me don’t try to rush
this season don’t don’t rush it out
there’s an appointed time for marriage
there’s an appointed time for kids he
just laid it all out to me this is a
season of your life enjoy it don’t miss
it you see many times we’re so anxious
about the next season that we miss out
on the work of god in the season that
we’re in and so he began to reveal to me
certain timelines right
and then he began to speak to me about
children and all these things and when
he spoke to me about kids in particular
he revealed to me i’ve always desired
twins right and he revealed to me that
there will be a time that you will have
twins and in the beginning i desired
twins for the wrong reason so i could
match with my kids
i believe matching is the sixth love
language
and that is my love language i love to
match to the point that this story is
irrelevant to this message but i’ll
share something that happened a couple
years ago valentine’s day me and my best
one of my best friends we were going to
the nail shop
and she calls me she has on this adidas
jogger and i had the same one in a
different color so we’re on facetime i
was wearing something else i got a face
time change my outfit
i met her at the nail shop she was so
mad
she’s like stephanie like people are
gonna think we’re together i said girl i
am confident
in myself
but matching is a love language right so
i always wanted twins so that it could
be like you know the three amigas and
then hopefully my husband will want to
match too
but it was very immature even though
that is still one of the reasons but i
have more mature reasons now right but
basically you know he reveals to me that
this will this desire that you’ve had
since you were a kid how many of us know
that god actually plants desires in your
heart you call it random you see even in
culture we have this saying about
manifesting i’m gonna manifest my life
but you don’t realize that it’s not that
you’re manifesting but you have come
into the knowledge god has shared a
knowledge with you about who you are and
there is so much confidence and boldness
that you begin to decree and declare
like no this is for me but we in culture
we remove jesus from the equation and we
say you can manifest whatever destiny
you want not recognizing the only reason
you have that desire is that the lord
has shared the knowledge about you
in your heart
right and so god puts desires in our
hearts and he shows me like stephanie
you’re gonna have twins and i saw them a
boy and a girl and then he tells me
pray
and speak life over your son that he
does not die
i said what in the world
i said lord if there’s going to be a
future complication you could handle it
now you know you are outside the time
right you can go in time
and i was so confused that no really i
actually got irritated by that i was
like what kind of message is this you
know so i just kept living my life
when i met my fiance
a couple months um into like even into
us dating and knowing that this is going
to be serious and all that stuff he
calls me one morning and he says you
know i was in prayer and the lord said i
should tell you first of all i said this
is going to be a us thing you know
he said the lord said i should tell you
to speak life and pray that we don’t
lose our son now i’ve never told him
anything
and i’m like why is the same thing
coming up you know and i was just like
yeah yeah sure i didn’t even say
anything after that and i was irritated
again i’m like god
if there’s a problem you could fix it
right
months passed by
one particular day i go into this panic
thinking about you know sometimes
there’s an anxiety
that comes upon you
you say there are different forms of
anxiety there’s anxiety that comes
out of you
and there is one that comes upon you and
what i mean by that is the difference
between anxiety that is natural and that
which is spiritual
when the enemy wants to force a
narrative on you and begins to taunt you
about this idea and the only moment it
takes seed is when you begin to agree
with it
and this thought came upon me
oh you’re going to have two of
everything you’re going to need a feed
to
push out to
all these thoughts and for women pushing
out too like that there are many things
i want to say about that that i think
you will catch my drift
and all of a sudden i began to panic
and i’m like god i literally said this i
said god i don’t know if i want that
anymore
that night
i fell asleep
in my dream
i was on an ultrasound table
and as i’m on the table something you
know how dreams are so interesting
because things are happening that others
are not saying but you know exactly
what’s happening so something comes and
pulls out a baby out of me
and they do the ultrasound and they
heard only one heartbeat
and i knew that what that person did
took one child out
and i was like lord wait what what just
happened like what’s going on what’s
going on where’s the second one where’s
the second one and the voice said but
you don’t want him
and i was like no no lord no no no no i
want him give him back give him back
give him back
and then the scene changes
now there’s another ultrasound and they
hear two heartbeats and immediately i
wake up
when i woke up i began to pray say god
what is what just happened and he said
stephanie you have to recognize that
with your words
you can reveal my purpose or you can
alter them
when you said you don’t want him
you created a gateway for the enemy to
steal from you
so a few weeks ago i’m sharing this
message we were taping a show and i’m
sharing this message and a dear friend
of mine her name is pastor alex she has
a church in nashville
and she and the both of us is like when
god created us he had us in mind because
we just have very similar experiences
and she said stephanie i actually went
through something very similar
that for the first five years of my
marriage i was completely barren
couldn’t understand what was going on
one particular day an intercessor pulls
her aside
and said there is a word you came in
agreement with that cursed your womb
and she said what are you referring to
what could this be about she said close
your eyes and ask the holy spirit to
reveal to you when that word was uttered
she closes her eyes and immediately the
holy spirit gives her a vision
when she was 17 years old at home on the
dining table and she had brothers with
her her brothers had children outside of
marriage so all of them were living in
the home
and so she never really had a time to
herself any moment that she wanted to do
something there’s a child crying or
screaming
and so one day she’s working on
something the kids are screaming
everywhere and she says
i never want to have kids
they are annoying i never want to give
birth to these things
and right there the lord revealed to her
your word
raised an altar against your womb your
word is still speaking against the very
thing that you desire you have to repent
of it
immediately she comes out of the vision
and she starts to pray and what i love
about the lord is that when he shines
light on something you don’t have to go
through some ritual process or anything
like that you have to denounce
what was said you see there’s a
scripture in the bible that says
that very scripture that talks about you
know no weapon formed against you shall
prosper but it also says and every
tongue that rises up against you you
shall condemn and sometimes your tongue
rises up against you
and so when it says that you shall
condemn it says you shall cast it down
you shall denounce it and so it was very
simple she acknowledged where she went
wrong and she said lord i repent of
those words i cast it down and lord
jesus i want the children assigned to me
that year she got pregnant
you see my assignment today
the lord showed me
that for many of us we have spoken
idle and careless words out of anger
anxiety
frustration
and not recognizing that just because
the word might be idle does not mean it
does not have power you see there’s a
scripture i want us to read we’re going
to read a couple scriptures because i
really want this to hit home for you
we’re going to start with
let’s see here
we’re going to start
with matthew 12 26
and the scripture says this i tell you
on the day of judgment
and this is jesus speaking people will
give account for every careless word
they speak
why is it that jesus is saying that we
would give account
because there are some things that we’re
going to be asking the lord but why
didn’t this happen
lord according to your your promise this
was supposed to happen for me
and he would reveal to you the books
where you were working against it the
whole time
have you given account of what you said
during this time in your life
you see now to some you might listen to
this and you’re like but lord i mean if
i said something crazy like i was a kid
or i didn’t know what i was doing this
is why living in submission to god has
nothing to do with him
it has everything to do with you
because when you live in submission to
the lord the holy spirit can begin to
convict you and remind you that there is
something in your life you need to
repent of there is something in your
life you need to watch how you talk you
see one of the biggest signs of
spiritual maturity is your language
that how you speak about yourself and
how you speak about others actually
reveals how mature you are in the spirit
but we find maturity through submission
we can’t just say whatever just because
we got angry now you begin to curse the
very everything you’re supposed to bless
right there’s a scripture in proverbs 18
21 it says this
death and life are in the power of the
tongue
and those who love it will eat its fruit
you see today before the end of the
service we’re going to have a moment
and i’ve been praying for you and i
believe that the holy spirit will begin
to reveal to you
any idle and careless words that you
have spoken over your life
and that any idle and careless words
that other people have spoken over your
life that you will be free of them
you see because when we think about
how words affect us
we have to first consider why they
affect us
when we look at the beginning right the
word of god shows us that everything you
know was created through god speaking
but then in john 1 verse 1 to 3 it gives
us this beautiful understanding when it
talks about in the beginning was the
word and the word was with god and the
word was god
so the word is so powerful that it has a
personality
it has nature it’s a person it’s jesus
so that everything which was made was
created
because of him
now everything god does
one of the things i’m always intrigued
by by the works of god because if god
creates through speaking it’s not random
right because he’s god he’s sovereign he
could have blinked twice
and everything would have come into
existence he could have thought about it
and everything will come into existence
but how god creates is consistent with
his identity
everything god does what he touches what
he says it’s revealing something about
his nature
it’s not just like a random thing that
he’s doing
even when you look at when when the
bible says that god created man in his
own image and he made them male and
female and he’s talking about in his
image but male and female is not just
about colors or activity or career
choices or any of that male and female
it’s an office in god
because there’s something a man
represents that reveals in god that a
woman doesn’t and there’s something that
the woman represents and reveals about
god that the man doesn’t so when he says
when they come together it reveals his
image
everything about god is intentional
but we try to dumb it down to fit our
ideas and ideology
so when god creates through speaking
he created through speaking because he
is the word
it reveals his identity
and the beauty of that is that if the
word created everything
then everything responds to words
and so for god to reveal he spoke
and now when you look at this how does
this speak to your life
you look at jesus right
creation responded to him
jesus would speak to a tree
jesus would curse a tree and actually
said and the tree responded the tree
obeyed his command so when they came
back to the fig tree the tree was cursed
jesus would speak to the winds and say
be still and they would obey his command
but the beauty about jesus is that when
jesus came on the earth the bible talks
about how he came that the world may be
saved right that the world may be saved
because of him he didn’t come to condemn
the world but he came to redeem the
world so jesus for him the world he was
stewarding the whole world
so everything in the world was under his
authority because he had an assignment
to it
whatever you have an assignment to you
have authority over
and whatever you have authority over
your words can shape it
that how you speak to the things that
god has put under your care
can either reveal the plans of god or it
can alter it
jesus could speak to creation and they
would obey him because he was a steward
over everything in creation
there was a man named joshua in the
bible in the old testament the bible
talks about how joshua told the son to
stand still and he did
but why is it that the son obeyed joshua
because the sun was within a territory
that god had given him stewardship over
the israelites were in battle and they
needed to finish the assignment joshua
said i understand the assignment lord
okay and in order for us to finish the
assignment the sun needs to stand still
and it’s the first and only time in the
bible when the when it tells us that god
obeyed the command of a man
but why is that because it was within
joshua’s territory
you see words have authority
so much so that there was a man named
john the baptist right
when john the baptist was born i need to
even go to this scripture his father
named zacharias the angel of the lord
comes to zacharias and he tells him you
know what you’re going to have a son
zechariah starts you know having some
doubts and questions and look at what he
says right so he says and zechariah said
to the angel
how shall i know this
for i am an old man and my wife is well
advanced in years
and the angel answered and said to him i
am gabriel who stands in the presence of
god and was sent to speak to you and
bring you these glad tidings but behold
you will be mute and not able to speak
until the day these things take place
because you did not believe my words why
did the angel need to go so extreme
because of how important john the
baptist was to the purpose of god you
see john the baptist had such a pivotal
role to play in the coming of jesus
because when jesus’s mother
you know the mother on earth not like
you know mother mother but mary you know
the one who carried him right in order
for her to even believe for strength to
come into her that such an abnormal
thing could happen that the holy spirit
will come upon you you will conceive a
child she had to have an encounter with
john the baptist mother that when she
realized that way you are way past this
is a miracle first of all you are
pregnant with a child at this old age it
gave her the strength for her own
miracle john the baptist would also be
the one to baptize jesus he was too
critical to the plan
so so the angel recognized i cannot let
the words of zacharias alter the destiny
of this child
because you see as a father he had
authority over certain things concerning
the child
that is why even as parents
you have to be careful about what you
say about your kids
because sometimes the only reason that
that child is a problem is because you
have used your words to shape them as a
problem
i was reading
i was actually not even reading i was
watching on this video
and it was there were two people there
was an inmate and a professional
baseball player
and in the video it said that the inmate
asked the baseball player how did you
get to where you are today
and he was like you know what i started
when i was a kid
i would play i would throw the ball and
my father will tell me
man you keep throwing like that you’re
gonna end up playing for the league
and he said now i ended up playing
professional baseball
and the inmate responded and said you
know what we’re actually alike
when i was a kid my father told me that
you’re no good and you’re going to end
up in jail and he said here i am
you have to be careful about the words
that you speak
when you see a child acting out when you
see someone within what god has made you
a steward over you don’t just curse the
child you don’t just say negative things
because what you don’t realize that
you’re doing is that now you’re a vessel
for the enemy to begin to plant
destructive seeds over that child
you have to speak life over them
unknown to me just carelessly saying god
i don’t want this anymore spiritually
something took place that i had to
repent of my words you see for some of
us in this room you also have to repent
over the things that you have said to
people in your care right and so when we
think about this
one of the things i want you to write
down is that words have authority over
the things god has entrusted you to
steward
you see in the book of ecclesiastes
chapter 8 verse 4 it says something i
love
it says where the word of a king is
there is power
now when you think about this you would
think maybe he’s just talking about
earthly kings but you are actually one
that god calls kings and priests
right in revelation 1 6 you can write
that scripture down as well and it says
and he has made us who has made us god
he has made us kings and priests to his
god and father to him be glory and
dominion forever and ever because every
single person in this room every single
person that will hear this word
you have dominion
there is something that god has
entrusted to your care there is
something that god has placed you and he
has given you territory over
you have dominion
but how do we how how is our kingship
revealed that’s what i love when the
bible says that he has made us kings and
priests
because your priesthood is the place of
submission
your priesthood is the place when you
are praying your priesthood is the place
where you are living by the things that
the lord says
you see earlier we were worshiping to
christ is my firm foundation
the rock on which i stand now the
scripture that that song is inspired
from is when jesus talks about a wise
man and he says the one who hears my
sayings who hears my words and does them
is likened to a wise man who built his
house on the rock
the one who hears my words and he agrees
with them he’s in partnership with them
he lives out though my ways and my
principles he is like the one who is who
has built his house on a rock then jesus
says but the one that is foolish and the
one that that sees destruction is the
one who
has heard my sayings
and rejects them
now what is interesting about that
scripture is that both houses look
exactly the same
nothing about the houses are different
they didn’t say one has a mansion one is
a hut
the houses look exactly the same but the
foundation
because to truly be a disciple of christ
is not just to sing songs
it’s not just to say i’m a christian
it’s not just to say i’m spiritual it is
that you are abiding by his word now why
am i saying that because when we live in
that posture of submission and surrender
then we become careful about the things
that we say
lord is this thing that i’m about to
speak would it glorify you or is it
against your nature what i’m about to
use my word what i’m about to use my
mouth and other is this going to bring
glory to your name
it’s not to say that we have to live in
this idea of being of being a
perfectionist but it’s to say that lord
i am surrendered to you
because in the kingdom of heaven
we actually embrace our kingship through
submission
in the kingdom of darkness they have
power through rebellion
that is why the bible would say
rebellion is like witchcraft
that it’s not just witchcraft is not
what we see you know just on television
with people flying on trees i’ve never
seen that you know sabrina but
[Laughter]
but the lord actually says that
rebellion
is like witchcraft
and why does he say that he’s not trying
to call nobody a witch he’s trying to
say that through rebellion satan has
access
because that’s what witchcraft is about
witchcraft is any action or performance
that gives the enemy access to to
fulfill his plans through your life
so when the lord says rebellion is as
witchcraft he’s like when there is no
submission you’re giving the enemy
permission
and i’m saying this because we have to
really take a deep dive and consider our
ways before god
consider how do we live
what is about my life that is that is
that is in its this work walking in step
with the ways of god
the sad thing about life is that we
sometimes think that if i’m not doing
something that reflects christ and i’m
being condemned and being shamed
absolutely not
the bible talks about how jesus was full
of grace and truth
and why does he say that because jesus
would not tell you a truth that he
cannot empower you to fulfill
jesus will not reveal something about
you that he does not have the ability to
empower you to walk in it but you have
to first come in agreement
that this is truth
this is the way that the lord has for me
and so
how is it that words can actually
impact our lives
and here is the very key thing that the
lord began to teach me
because words are gateways
words are openings
one of the earlier scriptures we read in
the book of proverbs when i shared with
you how that life and death are in the
power of the tongue and those who love
it will eat of its fruit
through your words you are opening
up where a seed can be planted
now either that seed would reveal the
purpose of god or that seed reveals the
purpose of the enemy you see there is a
scripture that
really convicted me when i read it the
first time and every time i see it after
then it’s in matthew 13 verse 24 to 25
and this is jesus speaking and he said
he put another parable before them
saying
the kingdom of heaven may be compared to
a man who sowed good seed in his field
but while while his men were sleeping
his enemy came and sold weeds among the
wheat and went away
now this is so key because
when you have wheat and weeds in the
same field
the weeds compete for the soil the
nutrients and the water that is supposed
to go to the wheat the good thing
and because of the presence of weeds it
it kind of damages your harvest or
reduces the potential of your harvest
now why would god say the kingdom of
heaven is like this like a man who sowed
good seed
now in the context of words how many
times have we found ourselves i’ve been
guilty of this too we find ourselves in
prayer so in good seed we’re just
declaring god i just you know praying
over that project praying over that
business praying over the relationship
declaring so many beautiful things
before god and right when you say in
jesus name amen
you go to but this would never happen
for me
it’s like bro
what is the point of the prayer
it’s like you you come out of prayer
you go on instagram and that comparison
thing just kicks in
like but god you’re doing this for
everybody
but this will never happen for me you
just prayed at thanking god oh lord i
thank you for this i thank you for that
and right after you use the same words
to sow weeds where you just planted
wheat
because when the bible says that while
men were sleeping
sleeping it really points to ignorance
sleeping is not like you know they were
taking a nap no that means the kingdom
is not about you know god is not judging
you for rest
right
he’s saying that while men were ignorant
of the devices of the enemy while men
were ignorant of their power of their
authority this is when the enemy had
access
to plants weeds to plants bad seeds
so you don’t recognize that you are the
one that is against your own prayers
that you are working against yourself
before god
you see like i said today i want us to
take a moment
and really come before god
and repent
when i was praying for you all
one of the things that was so consistent
it was literally like prison doors being
opened that i kept seeing in a vision
and sometimes we don’t know where we
have trapped ourselves because of the
words that we have spoken
i want you to recognize that everything
that god has made you a steward over
you have authority over
they respond to your words because they
respond to the authority that you have
been given by the lord
when god gave you that project that
business that friend that whatever
spouse that child
whatever it is even yourself
because you are also a steward over
yourself we don’t own ourselves
we’re only stewards over our body
we’re only stewards over our mind our
life our health
everything that god has put in your hand
those ideas that god has given you you
know the other time i was with you all i
talked about how when you even have your
even your creativity is the wealth of
god being shared with you
every single thing don’t curse your gift
simply because you were frustrated
because it didn’t work out you know it
didn’t amount to what you thought it
would do you did that movie and you know
what it didn’t really hit like that
and you start speaking against your
talents the talent that god gave you you
start speaking against the very things
that you know you were supposed to do
how many of us have actually even said
you know i’m gonna quit this industry
i’m gonna quit why
because you were disappointed
but what if that disappointment was
actually a lesson
and not an end to a chapter
that there was something god is actually
trying to teach you or trying to get out
of you
and so family i want you to stand with
me
everyone stand with me please
and once more i just want you to close
your eyes
thank you jesus
thank you lord
i want you to close your eyes and we’re
going to do several things
first i’m going to pray that if there is
any careless word that you have spoken
against your own life
against the very things that god has
spoken against the promises of god over
your life
we’re going to pray together
and we’re going to repent of that
we’re going to cast it down
that just like the word says every
tongue do you catch up every tongue that
rises up against you
you shall condemn
every tongue it’s so interesting to me
that when the lord is saying no weapons
formed against you shall prosper he
follows it up with words
and every tongue
that rises up against you
you shall condemn
you see for many
the only thing standing in between you
and the very promises of god
is how you speak
[Music]
david talked about how
he asked the lord to to be a guard over
his mouth
[Music]
why would he say that
because david in relationship david was
known as a friend of god
when he asked the lord to guard his
mouth he’s like lord i don’t want to use
these these i don’t want to use this
weapon
against my own life
and so holy spirit every eye closed
please
holy spirit
you are sovereign
you have seen it all
and you have a count of anything we may
have said carelessly
lord i pray there’s any words that we
have ever uttered
against our lives
against the promises that you have for
us
that you would reveal unto us right now
thank you jesus
and heavenly father i pray
if there were words that we received
from others
who we were in their care
and without our knowing those words
shaped our lives
made us feel
unworthy made us feel that we can never
amount to anything
we didn’t realize we thought that it was
just
a word set out of anger but all of a
sudden it’s shaping our very life
we start living like we are rejected and
abandoned
and confused
and wondering if any good can ever come
out of us
[Music]
lord i thank you that even as you’re
bringing it to attention
because whenever there is revelation
lord god you have given us the power to
redeem
you have given us authority o god
thank you jesus
thank you jesus
thank you jesus
thank you jesus
thank you lord
thank you lord
now just repeat after me
lord jesus
i denounce
every idle word
that i have spoken
or was spoken
over me
your word
will have
the final say
over my life
in jesus mighty name
now family if you believe that i want
you to just shout to god
[Applause]
if you feel like something literally
just broke off you i want you to release
a shout out to god
thank you jesus
thank you jesus
thank you jesus
family we’re gonna make a
commitment to ourselves
that god i’m not gonna be careless with
my speech
and i will tell you this right now the
enemy will tempt you on this very day
he and he might tempt you through on the
road you might be minding your business
just driving against some coffee or
something and then somebody wants to
just cut you
before you’re quick
to want to express to them your
gratitude
for cutting you off
[Music]
think about the power of your words
think about the power of your words
i want to challenge you to do something
the same way the holy spirit is
challenging me
for the next 30 days
begin to decree and declare life
over every promise
that god has given you
thank you jesus
that when you get home
maybe when you get in your car
take some time
pull out your phone or pull out a
notepad whatever it is write down every
promise
every desire that god has placed within
you and for 30 days for 30 days day one
it doesn’t matter if you spend five
minutes doing this because here’s the
thing
if you spend an hour in prayer
just to follow it up with one minute of
cursing the very thing you are praying
for
it doesn’t count really
so what i want you to do i don’t want
you to think about the time if you’re
going to spend an hour in prayer that’s
beautiful i encourage it jesus will even
say to the disciples couldn’t you watch
with me for an hour whatever it is for
you that’s beautiful but i want you to
do this because everyone has at least
five minutes
in their day
every promise that god has given you
that each morning
you would wake up
and begin to speak life over it speak
whether you feel it or not declare life
over it
there is a reason why when the lord said
let the weak say
i am strong here is the thing
we have abused that on that that
scripture to to make it feel like the
lord is not for mental health that’s not
it
first of all he’s saying acknowledge you
are the weak he’s speaking to people
that know they are the weak
but when he says let the weak say it’s
about declaration it’s about agreement
that you know what lord i’m weak right
now but it would not end in weakness
my story would not end in weakness
whatever has me right now it would not
always be the case so he says this
although that may be your reality
use the power of words come in agreement
with a different reality it’s not being
delusional no that is not the ways of
god he doesn’t want you out here talking
about how are you doing blessed saved
sanctified delivered fully you know full
of the holy ghost and then you depressed
no
but what the lord is saying
is coming agreement with truth
it’s not going to end here
i may be in the wildest right now but
i’m not going to end in the wilderness
god you gave me this idea you gave me
this project to create there is no funds
for it but this is not always going to
be the story i’m going to begin to
declare life
over the things that god has spoken
concerned in my life
that everything that god has made me a
steward over
i’m going to declare life you see we
have to be careful
to not adopt the ways of culture into
the kingdom
because in culture
everyone’s opinion matters
how i feel is the reality but then what
you don’t realize is that you’re
altering your actual reality in god
just because you’re frustrated doesn’t
mean you need to curse something out
just because you’re mad doesn’t mean you
need to curse the very thing that you
desire
begin to speak the word of god
just like we are singing christ is my
firm foundation
the rock on which i stand
to be a disciple to stand on christ is
to stand on his word
and so family i’m excited for you man
i’m gonna be keeping track
just the same way i’m doing this in my
life too
[Applause]
because the ways of god require
discipline
there’s a discipline required for us to
really step in sometimes you have to
practice being you
you really haven’t you’ve been you we
you know sometimes we’re living the
false the counterfeit version of us for
such a long time that we have to
practice what it means to be who we are
and who god called you to be
so i’m excited i’m so excited man you
know what if anyone is in this house
and maybe you have not given your life
to jesus
maybe you stepped in here and you were
just wondering what’s going on what’s
all these good-looking people stepping
into that building for
i’ma just join them
i remember literally i remember i met i
met a gentleman in the church and i was
like hey man how did you find out about
the church he was like there’s a lot of
good looking people that were walking in
here
it don’t matter you know praise the lord
you know beauty attracts
but however you got into this building
whoever invited you
or maybe you’ve been dabbling into so
many things because the idea of
submission makes you feel like you’re
going to lose control of your freedom
but i kid you not true freedom is found
in god
many of us we’ve enjoyed the turn up
life we’ve done it with the best right
but then you realize ain’t nothing there
actually i was in bondage when i was
doing that
i remember there was a friend of mine
that came to church one time and she
sends me a message and she was like hey
girl do you remember me we used to be a
playhouse i said oh praise the lord
[Laughter]
that we have left playhouse to the house
of the lord
[Laughter]
[Applause]
[Music]
but what i’m saying family
is that however you came in here
and you want to commit your life to god
you want to say lord i want to
experience this true freedom
i want to know you
like for real i want to know you
or maybe you want to recommit your life
to god
because perhaps you are like yeah i’m a
christian because you know
my parents were christians so i grew up
in a christian household
but you’ve never truly been intentional
about your walk
now if that is you
we want to celebrate you and we want to
pray for you and we want to welcome you
into the family of the kingdom
so if it is you
i want you to boldly
just lift up your hand wherever you are
so we can see you
can we celebrate what god is doing in
this house
hallelujah
hallelujah
we see you family we see you
we see you
oh family let us pray
heavenly father we thank you for your
sons and daughters that are committing
their life to you
whether they’re committed or recompening
their life to you lord jesus you see
them and you know them
holy spirit i pray that you would make
their heart your home
i thank you lord jesus that on the cross
you died for our sins and that when you
resurrected you rose up with all power
and victory in your hands that we would
experience not just life but life more
abundantly heavenly father i thank you
that in you they would experience true
freedom
in you they would experience truth o god
and in you they would come into the
fullness of who you have always known
them to be in jesus mighty name
hallelujah
family
look at god look at god
