hey family pastor T here god bless you
listen you’re getting ready to hear a
powerful message and I wanted to also
remind you about the message that is in
this book it released as you know on
February 6 it’s already number one new
release on Amazon in three different
categories if you don’t have this book
in your life get it in your life it is
changing the world one whole person at a
time but God bless you for now I’ve got
a great message that I want you to hear
check it out to continue lifting up the
name of Jesus I wish there were just a
couple people in this room who recognize
that there is no name greater than the
name of Jesus can we lift up his names
Los Angeles can you help me Denver can
you help me can we fled the earth with
the name of Jesus can I hear the sound
of kingdom can I hear the sound of
heaven touching the earth Los Angeles
make some noise didn’t for Colorado let
me hear you lift up your savior that was
cute for Jesus but I want to know if
there’s anybody who knows that they know
that had it not been for the name
[Music]
there’s something about that name I’m
still learning and I’m still walking up
this thing hard life but what I know is
that there’s something about the name of
Jesus I’ve seen it in my own life where
depression couldn’t hold me when I
started saying the name of Jesus and to
be in a room full of believers literally
in Los Angeles California with there are
hundreds of people lifting up the name
of Jesus here in Denver there are
hundreds of people lifting up the name
of Jesus can we have a praise battle
real quick with our LA campus I wonder
who could touch heaven first I wonder
who can touch heaven first I wonder what
would happen if we all over this nation
started lifting up Jesus name I wonder
how many marriages could be saved I
wonder how much addiction could be
broken I wonder how many demons would
start fleeing our households when we
live
[Music]
you’re the only reason why we’re here
so we love you and we acknowledge you
and we ask that you would continue
continue to meet with us and sit with us
can you just take a moment and just
greet the person beside you say I’m so
glad I get to lift up the name of Jesus
with you
if you’re in LA can you turn to your
neighbor and say I’m so glad that I get
to lift up the name of Jesus with you
where two or three are gathered in his
name there he shall be in the mist every
time I turn to my neighbor I get a
little more Jesus every time I hug on
the person beside me I get a little more
Jesus I get an overflow of his spirit I
get to feel his love permeating my
situation my husband and I pastor to Ray
we greet you with Jesus joy if you’re
visiting for the first time we just love
you acknowledge you can you wave at us
if you’re visiting for the first time
and if you’re by your first time guests
can you take a minute to just welcome
them to the potter’s house at one la or
The Potter’s House it didn’t really
welcome you we welcome you and I think
you’ll find that there is no place quite
like where you are if you know that this
church is blessing people in changing
lives can you just let them know that
they are in the right place on this here
Sunday morning it’s all right with you I
came to receive a word from God and I
came to give a word from God so I want
to jump right into the word if you’re
visiting for the first time you may
notice that in a minute all of us are
going to stand and we’re going to stand
for the reading of the word it’s just
our way of acknowledging how holy this
moment is and so if you’re like us and
you’re going to stand we would certainly
want to welcome you to stand for this
moment if you can do it I promise you
won’t have to stand throughout the
entire service like me unless you would
like to to show your sign of support
if you’re in LA we appreciate you
standing as well I’m gonna be speaking
from Matthew 10 and 16 and I believe as
I was praying that that God was showing
me who was going to be in this room and
he was telling me as I was praying and I
was asking God what is it that you need
for us to here in LA what is it that you
need for us to here in Denver what is
the word that you want to go throughout
all of the earth and he said I need my
people to understand that though it may
feel like they are in over their head
that they are exactly where I need them
to be in this season if that’s for you
can you make some noise if you’ve been
wondering what in the world is going on
I came here to let you know I’m
prophesying over your life we haven’t
even gotten in the word you are exactly
where you need to be in this season God
said you wouldn’t even see yourself
clearly if I wouldn’t have put you in
over your head and now that you’re in
over your head you understand what I
think of you so I want to I want to get
into the word Matthew 10 and 16 for
those of you who like to take notes my
subject is in fact over my head
Matthew 10 and 16 it says behold I send
you out as sheep in the midst of wolves
therefore be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves but beware of men for
they will deliver you up to counsels
come on somebody the very people who you
thought you could count on may end up
being the people who walk away from you
Jesus says to the disciples beware of
men for they will deliver you up to
councils and scour jury in their
synagogues you will be brought before
governors and Kings for my sake as a
testimony to them and to the Gentiles
but when they deliver you up do not
worry about how or what you should speak
for it will be given to you in that hour
when you feel like you’re in over your
head when you don’t know how the ends
are going to be when you start to
question your ideas and your creativity
Jesus says to the disciples don’t worry
about it for in that hour I will give
you what to speak for it is not you who
speaks but the Spirit of your father who
speaks in you spirit of the Living God
we need you to speak we didn’t come here
to hear our favorite past or to hear our
favorite song we came to hear a word
from you and so God we’re asking that
your anointing would flow throughout
this building that it would flow so far
out of this building that it reaches Los
Angeles California that it would flow
all the way out of Los Angeles that it
touches Europe in Africa and Asia God we
need you to flood the earth there’s too
much going on and if God you don’t give
this vision and clarity and insight we
don’t know what we’ll do or who we will
become but in this moment we know that
you can give us divine insight and
wisdom about our lives so we open
ourselves up to your truth into your
word and we ask that this word will meet
us right where we are God and as your
vessel I just turned myself over to you
without you I am nothing I can do
nothing or say nothing that changes
lives but with you I believe that
generational curses can be broken with
you I believe that strongholds could to
come down with you I believe that
healing could be manifest so god I am
asking that it is you and you alone that
stands before your people and that you
would use any and every part of me at
your disposal so that lives may be
changed and come to know you in a fresh
new way in Jesus name I pray
and then Denver you may be seated Los
Angeles you make it comfortable I was
thinking I was in Los Angeles yesterday
and the weather is so gorgeous and then
as we were driving here today the
weather and the Sun
and it looks so gorgeous and I can
remember as a little girl anticipating
days like this because I knew that it
meant that summer was coming and because
I knew that summer was coming I knew
that I would get to spend all day long
in the swimming pool I don’t know about
you but I just love swimming as a little
girl I used to love swimming so much
that I would literally pray that one of
my siblings would just pushed me into
the pool and now that I am an adult I
realized that there are some things that
we end up leaving in childhood because
as an adult I realize that if someone
pushed me into the pool I may catch a
case I know you guys are very saved here
in LA and that you guys don’t catch
cases anymore because God has touched
you and transformed you he’s still
working on your girl if somebody threw
me into the pool and expectedly
I would have an issue with that because
there’s a certain level of preparation I
have to have before I jump into the pool
my edges needs to be tended to properly
I need to make sure that everything is
glued down and tacked down properly you
can’t just throw me into the pool I need
preparation before water goes over in my
head
amen all right I need preparation before
the water goes over my head I really
wish that life understood that I like to
have preparation before I am in over my
head
for some reason life doesn’t seem to
understand that I don’t like to just be
thrown into the deep end yeah I thought
I was applying for a job I didn’t
realize that I was applying for a
headache some kind of way when I am
pursuing life I end up in such a
situation that before I know it I’m in
over my head sometimes I don’t even
recognize that I’m in a stressful
situation until my body starts telling
me how you stressed I’m in
I’m in over my head and and I’m trying
to figure out how I am supposed to
navigate when I don’t exactly know who I
am supposed to be in this very moment
because I recognize that the tools that
I had before don’t work in this
particular season and that the things
that I knew from the last season don’t
apply to this season I wish I had some
people in this room who knew what it was
like to be a blank canvas that all of a
sudden I had everything figured out and
now the only thing that I know is that I
know nothing at all I’m in over in my
head I don’t know if the job is gonna
work out I don’t know what’s happening
with the marriage I don’t know if the
kids are gonna be okay and Here I am
still trying to function but I’m in over
my head
and so as I was studying and preparing I
wanted to find something in Scripture
that relates to those of us who are just
in over their heads just a little bit
I’m not saying I’m giving up I’m not
saying I’m backing down sometimes you
have to let the enemy know that because
he will take the fact that you were
stressed and make you believe that it’s
quitting time but I just believe before
I even get into the word I don’t know
what you’re in over your head and maybe
it’s your career maybe it’s your family
maybe it’s your marriage but if the only
thing you can do is stand and say devil
I rebuke you no weapon formed against my
life for prosper sometimes the only
thing that you can do when you are in
over your head is make a decision that
I’m not gonna quit I’m not going to die
I’m not going to try and I don’t know
what’s gonna happen but what I do know
is that I’ve never seen the righteous
forsaken what I do know is like that
I’ve never seen they’d seed begging for
bread I know who’s I am even when I’m in
over my head because I know who was over
my head and so Jesus is preparing to
send the disciples out what I love about
Jesus is when he’s first and gathering
their disciples he comes up to them and
he says I will make you fishers of men
Jesus doesn’t go up to the disciples and
and tell the disciples I’m going to send
you out as sheep
amongst wolves because I wonder how many
of us would have signed up for that
signing up to be fishers of men it
sounds exciting I want to bring this
dream opportunity into your life it
sounds exciting but for some reason he
doesn’t tell them that there is going to
be a moment and purpose a moment on your
journey a moment in destiny where you
end up over your head and so before he
gets ready to sin
send them out he sanctifies them he
anoints them he gives them the power to
cast out demons he gives them the power
to perform miracles which was such a
sign to me because what it meant to me
is that before we end up over our head
that he anoints us before we’re even in
front of the situation I wish I could
say that the way that I see it in
Matthew we learned that Jesus the
greatest shepherd there ever is will
leave the 99 to go get the one lost
sheep but we don’t ever talk about how
that same Jesus will take his sheep and
send it out we depend so greatly on if I
get lost he’ll come and find me but no
one talks about how he ends up sending
us out as sheep amongst wolves how he
trusts us after he he goes and finds us
as a lost sheep and he brings us into
our fault into his phone and he gets our
mind right and he helps us to see things
clearly he never talks about how
ultimately that I did not bring you back
into the fold so that you could stay in
the fold
I brought you back into the fold so that
I could could equip you enough to send
you out and trust you in the rooms when
I send you out what I’m saying is that
when Jesus goes and gets the lost sheep
it’s not so that they could become good
at doing Church he gets the lost sheep
so he could teach the lost sheep how to
be a sheep in a pack full of wolves man
I gotta say it the way I studied it in
the way he gave it to me
because I feel like there are some
people in this room who are running with
wolves and they’re losing their identity
and they’re one
and God have you lost me and you don’t
recognize it what he’s saying is I see
you so properly that I could trust you
in the rooms where everyone else has bad
intentions but you came in for the right
reason because I equipped you I did not
just save you so that you could be like
everyone else
I saved you so that I could send you out
and you could gather people who look
like you I wish I had some people who
understood I didn’t get saved for my own
selfish purposes I didn’t come to church
so that I could feel good I came to
church so that I could be equipped
amongst other sheep and then I could go
out amongst wolves and show them the
beauty and being saved by a savior who
sees you fully I want to talk about the
Jesus who sends you out the Jesus who
pulls you in who breaks the
relationships off of you that are toxic
the Jesus who pulls you in when he
breaks your heart to heal your heart I
want to talk about the Jesus who pulls
you in so that he can ultimately send
you out again some people know that
Jesus pulled them in but they’re too
afraid to be sent out because they’re
afraid that they’ll turn back into the
sheep that he had to pull in in the
first place
but I hear God saying that when I pulled
you in that I made everything work
together for your good and that I gave
you wisdom and perspective and anointing
that would allow you to go back out and
bring in other sheep I don’t know who
that is for I need to move on to my next
topic but God won’t release me to let
this go because I hear God’s saying it’s
time for someone to be sent out it’s
time for someone to actually write the
book it’s time for someone to actually
get into the industry where they say
that Christians don’t even fit so that
you could establish the kingdom in that
industry I wish I had some people who
didn’t mind going to war with the devil
who did mind being the only sheep in a
room full of wolves because I am so sure
about who God has called me to be that
your disease won’t be contagious my
anointing is a shield no weapon formed
against me has prospered I’ve seen them
work in my life and
so now when I walk into a room I don’t
need your validation I have something to
give it I see now this is a message
maybe maybe they’re not here maybe it’s
in LA this is a message for for game
changers this is a message for world
changers this is a message for someone
who has been sitting on the sidelines
and Jesus is saying it’s time for you to
get in the game it’s time for you to up
your mentality it’s time for you to
understand that I’m ready to send you
out if you know that God has been
talking to you about starting that idea
about getting that forgiveness in your
heart so that you could be sent out can
you make some noise can you lift up a
shower can you praise him like you’re
already sent out can you praise him like
the door has already been open that’s
you for those of you who want to stay in
a routine but for those of you who know
turn me up in the microphone I’m not
leaving this age until chains are broken
off for people who are ready to be sent
out I’m not putting the microphone down
until somebody is six out into prisons
until someone is sent out into rehabs
until someone is sent out to save
someone who used to be a lost sheep just
like them I’m ready to be sent out I’m
ready to go to war with the temple when
I came into this room I didn’t say I
want to shout I said God give me
something to take that helps me go to
war for my family give me something
today that helps me go to war against my
fear that helps me go to war against
insecurity I’m ready to be a sheep again
amongst wolves you can send me out you
can trust me I learned my lesson
I earned my scars I received my
anointing i humble myself under the
mighty hand of God if you’re gonna use
anybody in this earth god please use me
send me out into politics send me out
into healthcare send me out so that I
can deposit a god idea in a dying world
so that I can deposit a resurrecting ID
and the dyeing industry so that I can
bring hope back into my family sometimes
being a sheep amongst wolves means that
you’re the only sheep in your household
and you got to learn how to live in this
household that’s toxic and bitter and
you know that you know that God has
ordained you to be there and so God I
need you to teach me not how to become
like the wolves I see and laid in fear
you got to hear me when Jesus sends you
out as a sheep amongst wolves the most
dangerous thing my husband says it all
the time is that you’re not able to see
yourself and most of the time we define
ourselves by what we see which means
that we can be a sheep amongst wolves
and think we are a wolf but not realize
that we’re actually a sheep that means
that we can be in the same industry we
could be around the same group of
friends but not really be like them at
all because we were a sheep Jesus and I
think our greatest challenge is
remaining as sheep and not becoming
wolves I’m gonna take my time for a
minute because I recognize that sheep’s
sheep are the most defenseless animal
there is they are prey they’re like the
bottom of the food chain and their
intentions are are to just live and
exist but most of the time they’re
surrounded by people who just want
something from them and so when Jesus
says to be a sheep amongst wolves it
means that you have to recognize that
not everyone is going to be for you but
you can’t allow that to make you Jade it
or bitter
what if our biggest issue is trying to
remain defenseless in a world that makes
us want to build walls and a life that
often makes us want to become savages
and predators and they say I’m giving up
on people and I’m giving up on love I
was around too many wolves and they took
from me and now I don’t know who I am so
the only thing I can do is become like
them if you can’t beat them join them I
had good intentions my heart was in the
right place but I still ended up wounded
I don’t want to be a sheep anymore
last time I was a sheep it cost me too
much but yet Jesus says in this text
that I’m sending you out as a sheep so
don’t forget that you are a sheep even
when you are surrounded by wolves you’re
still a sheep oh I feel that for
somebody you went through the divorce
you served the time you you survived
rape and molestation you feel like you
lost your innocence but I came here to
tell you you’re still a sheep that life
couldn’t take that from you yeah I know
I don’t know everything that you went
through but what I’m telling you is that
everyone in this room has had moments
where they felt like they were no longer
sheeps and yet God has promised us that
as long as we stay connected to him as
long as we recognize his grace and His
mercy I still give you the ability to
lay hold of your sheep identity you know
why you can be a sheep because God says
I will be your shepherd I will look out
for you I will take care of you I will
make sure that no harm comes to you you
can still be a sheep you can still
forgive you can still love again you can
still be vulnerable you can still be
that woman of integrity you can still be
that man who walks in integrity in spite
of what you’ve gone through don’t let
life rob you of that sheep that’s down
on the inside of you and so as we jump
into the text and we see that Jesus is
preparing the disciples to go out he
says I sent you out as sheep in the
midst of wolves
therefore be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves
why does he tell us that we can be wise
like a serpent but also not to use our
wisdom as a weapon my mother I think my
husband said this a couple of weeks ago
my mother has this saying my parents are
from West Virginia their country in this
number I was born in West Virginia
namibian country I love being country
but my mother says things like just
because you graduated don’t burn the
school house down you get it it’s
powerful you’re gonna use it from now on
I promise you as soon as somebody is
basically I’m gonna break this down cuz
y’all city folks okay it means that just
because you have come to a level of
understanding in your life when you look
back at someone else don’t judge them so
harshly
just because you graduated let’s not
burn the school house down there’s still
people and the school has if I didn’t
say anything else that was a word for
somebody Jesus says I want you to learn
how to use your wisdom man because so
many of us are so glad to have wisdom
and to have knowledge and to have
understanding that oftentimes we use it
as a weapon against other people so even
though you are as sheep amongst wolves
and mind you that Jesus has already
given them the power to cast out demons
and say heal people he tells him don’t
use your power against the wolves
because that would be a waste of your
power I didn’t send you here to fight
every rumor and every gossip that ever
came up against you that’s not what
you’re here for I do brought you here so
that you could be here so that you could
be healed and you could create healing
and other people I brought you here not
to fight low level Wars I brought you
here to do something for your family
that no one else could do but you don’t
get into a battle with the wolves just
because I gave you the wisdom I need you
to learn how to use it so he says he
says be wise as serpents and harmless as
doves when you learn how to understand
the wisdom that I’ve given you you’re
going to recognize that it’s not
necessary for you to use it to hurt
other people can I tell you this is when
it got good to me in verse 17 la I want
you to listen
be wise as serpents and harmless as
doves but to beware of men first of all
Jesus is giving them a lot of
information at one time be a sheep
amongst wolves be wise but also be
harmless live your life in such a way
that people aren’t offended by your
existence just because you have an
opinion just because you have a
knowledge doesn’t mean that you have to
activate it every chance you get make
sure your knowledge has wisdom make sure
your experience has wisdom make sure
your mouth has wisdom yes you know the
answers but do you know how to deliver
the answer what it says to me is just
because you know something doesn’t mean
you know how to deliver it I see so many
people who just take off at the mouth I
see I’m country to just take off at the
mouth but their wisdom not recognizing
that if you place your wisdom into
somebody at a time that they are not
ready to receive it you can do more
damage to them than had you just kept
your mouth closed and pray can you pray
that God would give you an opportunity
to unleash your wisdom so that you don’t
hurt someone in the process of trying to
help them he says but beware of men in
order for us to be sheep amongst wolves
and for us to understand the
complexities of being in over our head
we have to recognize there is the
difference between wolves and men yeah
i’ma let that sink in just a little bit
because wolves have bad intentions from
the start
wolves prey and Men betray with good
intentions when you’re in over your head
you don’t always know who to trust or
who was in your circle and so Jesus says
to the disciples I want you to watch out
for the wolves but who you really need
to beware of are the men because men
with good intentions will often place
doubt and insecurities and fear on your
path and so you have to recognize that
the main thing you have to be concerned
about is men and I love this because
the tapes continue we learned that the
men who ultimately end up betraying this
disciples ultimately help us get to
God’s purpose on the earth but we have
to recognize that along this journey
when we’re in over our head that it is
perfectly normal to reassess
relationships that it is perfectly
normal to make sure that we are
positioning people properly because if
we are not careful we will betray
ourselves by having someone positioned
too closely in a season where God needs
us to have some distance I got to say it
how I studied it because I don’t want to
lose the room la if you’re with me can
you make some noise can somebody let me
know that I’m in the right place in the
right building sometimes men can be so
convinced that they’re right even when
they’re wrong about you that they end up
betraying you and making you
second-guess who you are and the reason
why you have to beware of Ben because
the same men that the disciples are
going to encounter are the the men who
they went to the temple with there were
the men who they did life with and he
says I’m telling you that the very
people who knew you before me may be the
ones that betray you after me I need you
to understand that not everyone is
growing at the same pace that you’re
growing and if you aren’t careful some
people are going to pull you back when
I’m trying to push you forward so make
sure you know who you’re looking at when
you pledge your loyalty and devotion
Jesus says beware of men and he says
that you have to beware of men because
they will deliver you up to counsels and
scoured you in their synagogues with
good intentions it’s not like the men
who we’re going to do this are going to
do it because they think ill of you
they’re just trying to help you but in
the process of some people trying to
help you they end up hurting you what am
I saying I’m saying that that person who
is telling you that that God idea that
you’ve been given isn’t going to work
out they don’t have bad intentions but
you gotta beware of men who don’t
understand what God is calling you to do
the disciples
work hard I feel the presence of God on
that the disciples were called to do
something for the kingdom and they had
to beware of men who were close to them
because the men may not understand what
they are called to do the men may not
understand why you’re going back to
school at 50 years old that’s all right
you don’t have to get approval for men
to do what God has called you to do and
if you live your life searching for
their validation then you will die when
you don’t receive it but when you get
serious about what God has called you to
do you’ll know that I don’t need you to
campaign for me
I’m already elected I don’t need you to
campaign for my purpose I don’t need you
to campaign for what God has called me
to do I’m already convinced that God
saved me for a reason he saved me for
this very purpose I’m gonna make this
thing work
whether you get beside me and help it
work or not all I really need to know is
who is for me and who is against me
because I will not be stopped I will not
stop doing what God has called me to do
God please help me get this word done
into the hearts of your people our
country is depending on it how our
families are depending on them
recognizing that you do not need men to
validate you Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus how
did you walk this earth and they said
hallelujah one day and crucify him the
next because you knew what you were
called to do Jesus impart into us a type
of spirit that allows us to stay focused
even when the people who we thought
would understand us don’t understand
what you’ve called us to do sometimes I
feel like I want men to say you’re doing
well more than I want to hear you say
well done can we have a real talk in
this room but I’m coming to a place when
I’m in over my head I realized that I
can’t receive every opinion and so now I
just need to know that when the men are
betraying me the church still with me
eventually the very men that Jesus said
to beware of would learn that the
disciples were doing something that
would benefit all of them but it would
take time for the plan to unfold before
they realized that I wasn’t just in this
thing on my own sometimes you have to
bury yourself in tunnel vision to
manifest what God told you but when you
come out you’ve got something to give
everybody because you took a minute to
bury yourself in tunnel vision when
everyone else is going out I had to stay
in because I was focused on something
when everyone else was giving up on
their marriage I had to huddle in and go
to counseling because I was focused on
something when everyone else had the
opportunity to just go apply for a job I
applied for a small business on because
I recognized I was shooting for
something and I had to go low and I had
to have tunnel vision so that when I
came back up I had something again the
disciples had to go low man I feel the
presence of God in this room the
disciples had to be willing to go low so
that they could ultimately come up
higher they had to be willing to lose
some things in the process so that they
could come up in the long run they had
to be willing to sacrifice on this end
so that God could be exalted in the long
run I’m not in this thing on my own and
it all makes sense when it’s all said
and done why I had to shut down some
relationships why I had to move out of
that city it’ll all make sense when God
gets finished you’re looking at my story
in the middle of the chapter but I’m
telling you I know what God said to me
and when it’s all said and done you’re
going to see that I didn’t lose my mind
that I wasn’t going crazy but as a
matter of fact I was building an ark
before there was any rain
[Applause]
I feel like I feel like shaking up hail
I feel like being a church girl for a
minute I know the message isn’t even
really finished but I feel like serving
notice on hell that I’m gonna come out
on the other side I feel like serving
notice on somebody that I just got my
fight back I’m gonna move on in the
message in a minute but I feel like
letting this devil know that she shot
your best shot at me you tried to make
me drown but God had given me the tools
to building the ark when I was in over
my head I didn’t know how I was gonna do
it I didn’t know how the bills were
gonna be met but God gave me a plan and
I thought I was in over my head but he
was standing over me telling me when to
move and how to walk and what to think
yeah yeah yeah yeah he’s gonna impart
something in this room and they make
some noise if you’re ready to receive
something didn’t burn let me hear you if
you’re ready to receive something I’m
ready to come out on the other side I’m
ready to figure out why it had to be me
I’m not in over my head I’m figuring out
who I am
I’m not in over my head I’m pressing in
to God I’m not in over my head I’m being
stretched so that I can lay hold of what
he’s called me to be I’m not in over my
head I’m learning in a fresh new way
[Applause]
somebody crazy is in this room somebody
crazy is watching on the livestream
somebody crazy what you mean crazy
I mean generational curse breaking crazy
I mean idea manifesting crazy
I mean vision pursuing crazy I mean no
weapon formed against me will prosper
crazy I came to kill every idea that is
exalting itself above the knowledge of
who God has called you to be Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus don’t play you know
he’ll come don’t play you know he’ll
find you Jesus Jesus I’m trying to be
like Jesus Jesus is teaching their
disciples how to walk like him Jesus is
teaching you in this season how to walk
like him to not need man to approve you
to walk in the rooms that are bigger
than you and they trust that when I step
in the room the words are gonna be given
to me when I step into marriage God’s
gonna show me how to love you when I
step in the business room he’s gonna
show me how to speak a language with no
degree and no lawyer and no agent
because he’s over my head
[Applause]
so I can I can afford to be in over my
head as a matter of fact that’s the only
way I want to live because as long as
I’m in over my head it gives him the
ability to be the play caller in my life
you didn’t pull me in to keep me in you
pulled me in to send me out and you
didn’t send me out with any plan or any
roadmap and if I’m honest sometimes
that’s scary but I needed a reminder
that though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death I don’t have to fear
any evil as a sheep because your rod and
your staff they’re comforting me
so wolves have to back off of me and
generational curses can’t hold me and
insecurity has to loose its hold and
depression has to back off of me
I’m not saying I don’t see depression
but what I’m saying is the moment when
depression starts to give me using the
word that shows me there no weapon
formed against me that your rod and your
staff have gone ahead of me Jesus what
we need in this season more than
anything is to be so connected with
Jesus that even when we’re in over our
head even when we’re stressed even when
we’re worried even when doubt is
consuming us that we are so connected to
him that we can see above the frame that
we can see the bigger picture from his
perspective I love that she can stand
with me I’m almost finished I love this
because as the text continues it says
that ultimately
they will go from being brought before
councils and scholarships and synagogues
to being before kings and governors and
it was assigned to me that they would be
beaten and they would be bruised and
then by the time they got finished just
surviving that they would look up and
they would be in front of kings and
nothing is more doubting on the inside
of us than being surrounded by kings and
governors but feeling so unqualified
because of the previous beatings we just
took I want to believe in in the
kingship that is a science in my life I
want to believe that I have the power to
walk in authority and walk in the power
but it doesn’t seem like Jesus always
remembers what it took me to get into
these rooms and I feel this
prophetically I don’t know who you are
but there’s an opportunity that is
waiting for you and literally the only
thing you have to do is turn the knob to
open the door but you were too afraid
that when you get in the room you’re not
gonna know what to do or what to say I
don’t know if you’re here I don’t know
if you’re in LA but I hear God’s saying
that when you open the door that you not
open it but opening it by yourself that
when you open the door that the spirit
is going ahead of you and I know that
you don’t have the proper tools to
communicate your idea the way that
everyone else does and God says that
that is a good thing because I
sanctified you and I set you apart
you’re not supposed to look like what
everyone else looks so you go in there
with your associate’s degree you go in
there with your GED you go into that
marriage with your abandonment issues
you go into that thing that I called you
to do and you trust that even when you
feel like you are in over your head that
I am over your head and I’ve got you
I just I want to have a moment of Prayer
we’re almost out of time if this message
has been speaking to you and you know
whether you’re here in Denver you’re
watching on the livestream maybe you’re
in Los Angeles and you know man to be
honest I have been feeling like I’m in
over my head I have been feeling like I
applied for a position or got into a
relationship that felt like God in the
in the moment but now I feel like it’s
stretching me and it’s exposing my
insecurities and I feel more broken than
I did before I lay laid hold of this
opportunity but something happened in
this message that reminded me that the
only reason I feel the way that I do is
because I’ve been trying to do it in my
own strength when in reality I just
needed to remember that someone is
calling the shots above me well you just
lift your hands if you could just close
your eyes if you’re in the room bow your
heads but if you know this message is
for you lift your hands up I see you god
bless you I see you I can see you in LA
god bless you god bless you god bless
you if you’re here and you say I don’t
really do religion I’m not sure really
even about Jesus but you did say
something today that they just struck
something down on the inside of me and I
want to learn how to be more like him I
want to know that God that you’re
talking about would you lift your hand I
believe that God’s gonna impart
something god bless you I see you I see
you spirit of the Living God we’re in
over our head which is the perfect place
for us to be because it makes us feel
weak and we recognize that when we feel
weak that your strength is made perfect
within us so god we’re asking that you
would expose every area where we feel
overwhelmed in this room and that you
would send your spirit to hover over us
god we release our hold of our lives we
release our plan on what our life needs
to look like him and feel like and
instead
we execute a complete and utter control
that you would fill us up as only you
can do that you would give us divine
insight and wisdom like you gave the
disciples that we would remember how to
be sheep while we’re surrounded by all
of these wolves that you would protect
our innocence and our purpose God I
thank you for every gift that you have
placed inside of these your sons and
daughters and I ask that you would give
them the strategy on how to take that
gift and manifest it I ask that you
would give them strategy and wisdom that
would break strongholds off with their
life I rebuke insecurity I rebuke
second-guessing I rebuke fearful
thoughts I rebuke anything that would
make them stop running their race and
gotta ask that you would empower them
that you would give them resurrecting
powers I see dreams coming back to life
I see purpose being destined again god I
ask that you would resurrect everything
that tried to die on the inside of them
and that you would give them renewed
vision and clarity we thank you for
Jesus can you repeat after me thank you
for Jesus thank you for making him who
had no sin all of my sin all of my
weakness all of my limitations you
placed in his body and nailed it to the
cross and when he was raised up free and
victorious I was raised up too washed by
the blood of the ultimate lamb innocence
is mine
creativity is mine Hope is mine purpose
is mine death couldn’t kill me my past
didn’t destroy me even when I’m in over
my head I know that you’re hovering over
me I receive your spirit
I receive your peace let it fill me up
in Jesus name I pray amen
[Music]
hey my friend I pray that that message
blessed your life it blessed me for sure
I want to also encourage you to pick up
wholeness winning in life from the
inside out this book is gonna change
your life god bless you I’ll see you
