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
psalm 37
beginning at verse 23 will read verse 23
to 25
ties in very well with the song it says
the steps
of a good man
better translation
valiant person strong person the steps
of a valiant person
are ordered by the lord
and he the lord delights
in his way
though he fall
he shall not utterly be cast down for
the lord upholds him
with his hand
i have been young
and now i am old
yet
i have not seen the righteous
forsaken
nor
his descendants
begging brett
the steps of a good man
are ordered
or ordered are set up
are erected are
established steps of a good man are
established they’re established
is already done they are established
they are set up they are established the
steps
the going forth the going forth
of
a good person a valiant person the going
forth of a
valiant
person
the going forth the steps each and every
step
that creates their going forth has
already been settled they are
established they are set up
tell your neighbor it’s already done
it’s already done
it’s already done
father we thank you so much for this
word it is a lamp into our feet and it
is a light and to our path
and god i sense that you desire to do
a number of amazing and beautiful things
in our lives today but one thing i am
convinced you are after
is a conviction
within us
that believes and receives and lives in
the conscious reality
that it is already done
so my prayer if you don’t do anything
else
my prayer
is that you would set us free to the
next degree
based on our
spiritual comprehension
of the victory that we possess not a
victory that we’re trying to gain
but
a victory that was procured in christ
meaning that once we got christ
we got it
and father may the evidence of that
be the eradication of anxiety
oh hallelujah
hallelujah
may the evidence of that
be
a shoring up of ourselves from the
inside out that would cause us to no
longer
receive what is beneath us
that desperation would disappear
oh hallelujah
and that we would only receive
high things
lofty things
things that are worth
who you called and created us to be
father may this revelation be so strong
that we would untether ourselves
from everything that is connected to a
lesser version of ourselves
yeah
that that that the the revelation would
be so
profound and so striking
in our hearts and minds
that it would immediately reveal to us
everything that you did not build that’s
in our lives
even walls of protection
that are no longer necessary
because you’ve got us covered
and so god what i’m asking for
is transformation
that we would leave out of here a little
higher
than we were upon going in
a little more sure
a little more victory a little more
clarity
and i pray god even in the midst god
that dreams will begin to come back
that you would put it put an i can do in
our spirits
yeah that we would have a fresh brand
new yes i can
in our spirits
since it’s already done we might as well
go for it
do that
heal us
bless us
encourage us edify us empower us
strengthen us
elevate us
in jesus name
amen amen do me a favor you agree just
put your hands together celebrate god
and honor the person next to you as you
take your seat
hallelujah
already done
already done
hallelujah
already done
um
well
here on february
16th
2020
i want to officially welcome you
to 2020.
now that may seem a little strange
uh aren’t you about a month and a half
too late
no
because i believe that the reality of
2020
is just now truly beginning to be
realized
because you know how it is we step into
a new year
and we have our plan
and we have our strategy
and we have our sense of how things
should go
and then we step in bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed and everything is wonderful
and then typically we realize that most
of the time it’s actually a little more
difficult
than we thought
i was talking to a friend of mine i just
was thinking he’s a championship boxer
and i called him up because i felt like
february like this moment this time
i just felt like there was some sort of
connection
between the second round of a 12-round
bout
and the second month in the new year and
i called him i’m like hey man um i got a
question for you i don’t know much about
boxing or whatever but
tell me what what is the second round
like
describe to me the second round
and he was like well you know in the
second round
you
you have to typically make some
adjustments and you have to reassess
your strategy because you came into the
ring
with one strategy based on you studying
your opponent and studying the way that
they move and and all sorts of boxing uh
thoughts and boxing strategies that i
don’t know anything about he said and
you study that and then but once you get
in the ring
that’s where
it goes from con conceptualization to
realization
because this is what i thought but
actually this boy is hitting a lot
harder
this guy was hitting a lot harder
than i thought or they’re a little
faster than i thought you know they they
gained a little bit i guess they train
well when they’re lighter and they’re
hitting harder and so in the second
round is when you you have to kind of
reassess and you have to to maybe change
your strategy a little bit
and i feel like that’s that’s where we
are as we’re dealing with the reality of
2020 see there’s one thing the concept
of 2020 is oftentimes different than the
reality of 2020.
and i don’t know is it just me or did
january feel like it was like
79 days long it just
it it like just like felt like at least
six months
are you i mean it was just this i’m like
this is just january
and so
that helped me to understand
that
we have our strategy
and what we think
and then there is an actual strategy
right and and the actual strategy is
god’s strategy when we look at the text
we’re going to see
that that our life is a strategy
like everything about our life right now
is a strategy and i talk about it all
the time in jeremiah chapter one god
says before i formed you in the belly i
knew you
and and me knowing you is why i formed
you which meant that the only reason why
you were formed was because of god’s
strategy
there’s a there’s a there’s a strategy
and and for your life your life is a
straight there’s a strategy to your life
it is not random
it is not let’s just navigate life and
let’s just see what happens that’s not
it no there literally
is a strategy
for your life
a calculated strategy and there are not
three strategies for your life
they’re not three there’s one strategy
for your life
because before you got here god already
saw
the steps that he ordained for you to
take the steps that he ordained there
are certain things that god has ordained
for your life and you have to get to it
as quickly as possible because when you
get to walking and what god has ordained
there is no failure
oh
i didn’t say that there are no
disappointments going to talk about that
but there is no failure when you begin
to align
with what god with the strategy of god
concerning you there is nothing that
will be able to stop you the only thing
that will be able to stop you is you
are you tracking with me so when i look
at
when i look at this text it further
underscores the fact
that that that my life is a strategy
and and so it says it says the steps
of a good man
are ordered by the lord that word order
is an interesting word
because it literally means to be set up
right to be set up to be erected god my
steps got my my life is not random my
path is not random my steps have been
set up already i feel that
you have already been set up and and
this cures me from wondering if i’m
gonna be okay this cures me from
wondering if god has a path of success
and significance for me it cures me from
that because he says right there god has
already he’s already ordered your steps
they are set up they are wrecked they
are there the steps of a good man are
ordered by the lord and then i looked at
this this the second
part of that verse
and it says and he meaning god
delights
in his way or he delights in this path
that he has
set up
i say this better so so so your life
your steps the steps of a valiant person
a strong person and i’m going to talk
about why that’s significant in a second
but those steps have already
been
set up been been set up right and then
it says and god
delights
in that path
so
regardless of how you feel about that
path god delights in that path
but if but but a closer look at that
word delight is interesting closer look
at that word delight means if you study
it it means
to incline to
or to bend toward i’m like god help me
understand the significance of that
the steps of a good man are ordered by
the lord and god
is inclined to
and is bent toward that path
and then that hit me
that that means that that the presence
of god
and the power of god and the favor of
god and the resources of god are all
bent and slanted towards these ordered
steps
if you take your notes write this down
write this down write this down
and i’ll put it up there
the power
the favor
and the resources of god are bent toward
the path that he has set up for you
so all of heaven’s resources philip the
favor if you’re wondering where favor is
favor is on the path
if you’re wondering where resources are
i feel it right there it is on the path
some of you are trying to get stuff done
and you’re wondering why you don’t
possess what you need and it could be
that you don’t possess what you need
because you are stepping out of order
you’re stepping out of turn you are not
stepping into ordered steps
because he is inclined god will not
anoint
what is not ordained
oh let me take my time right right up in
here right up in there right up there in
other words
there is a path that is anointed
there is a path that is full of favor
there is a path that resources are
already assigned to relationships
finances wisdom insight open doors yeses
there is a path and god will not bend
towards a path that is not you and so
sometimes what we try to do is we say
god i want this and god will you please
bend towards where i’m at and god says i
can’t because i’m only bent towards what
i’ve already blessed are you tracking
with me
and that’s why it is not wise to ask god
to bless what you’re doing you have to
learn to do what god is blessing
[Applause]
because god right now concerning your
life i feel the lord he is already bent
and inclined towards something
concerning your life
that there is something concerning your
life right now that god has already
anointed
that you don’t even have to pray about
you don’t even have to ask god to do it
it’s already blessed it will already
work it is already settled and it’s
already done there is something
seeing ordered steps order that’s why i
have to get to my ordered steps i have
to find out what my order steps are i
have to find the steps of a good man are
ordered for the lord i’ve got to stop
walking
and recalibrate myself
and reassess my strategy because if it’s
not working it is possible that i’m not
where god wants me
or
i am not positioned
properly in the place that god wants me
to be
oh and take my time it’s gonna be one of
them days i can tell i can tell
yeah he’s bent got god is slanted god is
biased
he’s not biased against you he’s biased
for you
he’s leaning towards something so we
have to we have to become
skilled
at perceiving where god is leaning
i’ve got to get i’ve got to get better
at sensing
where god is
i i allow i’ll tell you right now i
allow
the presence of god
to help me
i walk by faith and not by sight i can’t
trust sight sight is tricky
because sight is all based on temporary
and because i am natural and i’m carnal
i personally am inclined towards carnal
or temporary things so i have to get to
this place where i don’t trust my eyes i
trust the presence
where is the presence blowing right it
may not make sense it doesn’t seem like
there’s anything over there but i feel
the presence of god over there and so i
begin to incline my feet
to the place where the presence is
can i talk to you like this
because god is slanted
towards what he is anointed
he’s inclined
let’s keep reading here though let’s
keep reading
and so it says the steps of a good man
are ordered by the lord and he delights
in his way then this verse starts
getting a little confusing
it gets confusing because
after that it says
though he fall
okay so so hold on i’m confused i’m
confused
because it just said you just talked
about the steps being ordered right
the steps of a good man are ordered by
the lord whoa
god is ordering my steps
he has already gone ahead of me it’s
already done
it’s already done hallelujah
it’s already done it’s already done
and he delights in the way and god is
excited about the path that i’m on
surely this is good but then this
confusing thing shows up
and it says though he fall that’s is
this verse out of place
how
can my steps
be ordered
by the lord
and yet i still fall
how can my steps be ordered by the lord
and yet i experience
disappointment
something’s wrong
something’s wrong
it appears that some sort how can i be
how can god be the one ordering my steps
but
i end up with a broken heart
how can god
be ordering my steps
and i don’t get the job
even though i pray and how am i praying
people praying
come on somebody i just need you need
you to believe me with me for this i’m
claiming it i’m claiming it you’ve been
there i’m claiming it in jesus name i’m
claiming it i sound like my dear i’m
claiming it i’m claiming it
how can i claim it
and it doesn’t come through
how can i walk with god
and experience this appointment
at the same time i don’t get it
how how how
this is confusing
and one of the things that i believe god
spoke to me is that
that
some failure is ordained
that doesn’t feel that’s not sexy church
at all
that is the most unsexy thing you’ve
ever heard in church before
yeah
some
failure is ordained watch this
some no’s are ordained
you don’t like that i know i know i know
knows ordained listen it’s interesting
we love the god who opens doors but we
are suspicious of the one who closes
them
when the very passes
that says that he opens doors also in
that same verse says he also closes
doors
he opens doors that no man can shut and
he shuts doors
that no man can open
and one of the things that i’ve learned
if you’re taking notes write this down
you’re not qualified
by how well you win
but how well you lose
oh you got to catch that
anybody can win well
anybody can have
victory over victory over victory and
and and it seem like they’re the
strongest and most optimistic person on
the planet
but how well do you lose
what do you do
what do you do i know you’re good at
winning but are you good at losing
because in the order steps of god there
are seasons where both are there
i have to fall there’s something
developmental
about the way you
re-emerge from a fall
that has everything to do with you being
shaped into the valiant person who these
steps are ordered for
can i illustrate it really quickly
raise your hand if you you like burpees
you you you know what a burpee is raised
i have a love-hate relationship
i have a love-hate relationship with
burpees
but but but i think that that that
burpees the burpee is a perfect example
of what i’m talking about as it relates
to the development that can only come to
you from a fall
i feel the holy spirit there are certain
places
that god is taking you to that
necessitate the type of development that
does not come to you when things are
going well
i’m talking about the type of
development that comes to you when you
fall flat on your face but somehow you
find a resolve on the inside of you that
allows you to get back up
and when you think about the burpee
the burpee wouldn’t be a burpee without
a fall
i’m about to show you right now
in fact i’ma have him show you come here
come up here fast
let’s give it up for derek
derek
can you show us can you demonstrate us
how how falling is the easy part in the
burpee but the real but the real
development is when you get back can you
show us real quick please
oh
oh oh do do it again do it again
so i have to fall in order to get back
up and i do do it again come on come on
i have to fall in order to get back up
now my abs are getting tight my core is
getting tight my legs are getting tight
my life is getting tight my hops are
coming together i can leap higher then i
can leave come on somebody though i fall
[Music]
there are some things some dimensions
that you can’t even live in without the
development that comes after a fall is
there anybody in here and you have gone
through a fall and somehow you found it
within you to get
back up and when you came up you didn’t
come up to spain you were stronger you
weren’t developed come on and shout if
that’s you
[Applause]
you needed to fall
i know it didn’t feel good but another
you emerged if everything would have
gone the way that you would that you
wanted them to go you wouldn’t be who
you are you would be a lightweight
[Applause]
let me tell you something
one of the things that i’ve learned
about life
life is fair
because it only throws heavy blows at
heavy weights
are you tracking with me
it only throws heavy blows at heavy
weights and there’s some people in here
right now and you have been disappointed
but i’m telling you even that
disappointment is going to work together
for your good i see you getting stronger
i see you getting wiser i see you
getting more solid i see you
your steps
i see oftentimes what happens
is when you
when you experience a disappointment
it makes you feel like you miss god
you didn’t miss god sometimes you walk
right into god
you walk right into god
it says though we fall
though we fall watch this
yeah
you’re in my order steps
and sometimes my order step
will lead you
into a fall but guess what it’s not the
type of fall you think
it’s not the type of fall that casts you
utterly down because even when you fell
i was upholding you i was propping you
up
i was propping you up i hear god saying
you thought that you fell you thought
that when you fell i abandoned you or
abandoned you or you thought that you
fell because i abandoned you i will
never leave you i will never forsake you
even when you fall i’ve got you in my
hands because the same hand
that allowed you to fall is the same
hand that’s going to lift you up that’s
going to put you in your seat that’s
going to put you in your hard place
and here is the thing
here is the thing
you can’t let this appointment kill you
i’ve learned something about god
you’re not qualified by how well you win
that’s not true
even jesus had to fall to rise
did you hear what i just said even jesus
had to fall
to rise
there i love my shop for some of you
there are some dimensions that the only
way up to is down
and i don’t want you to think there’s
some of you and you think you’ve been
demoted you haven’t been demoted you’ve
been set up
you’ve been set up you’ve been set up
for your step up
there’s some there’s some
barriers to dimensions
that you cannot just walk through you
have to be pulled back like a slingshot
to produce the type of velocity on the
inside of you to bring you with force
to shatter something
[Applause]
i feel that
you have to be wound back sometimes
because there’s some barriers you can’t
walk through some you gotta you gotta
shatter
you gotta burst through bao perezine the
god who bursts through there’s certain
things you gotta burst through
and you can’t be
watch this
a full-time winner
you need some scars
i don’t even trust people that haven’t
been through anything because
because because you you say you’ll be
there but have you been through the fire
[Applause]
you’ve been through the fire i love
everybody
i need somebody with some scars
i need to know you’ve been through
something everything’s good why
everything’s good
but but what are you going to do peter
when things get things get rough
peter oh jesus i’ll go with you to the
end jesus
telling you ride or die jesus jesus
tatted on him
full life jesus
jesus and the number three for three
days jesus
[Music]
jc3 for life baby
and that heat got turned up
and all you saw was his elbows
now god is
god is producing something
and i i wanna i wanna i wanna i wanna
heal something we’re gonna move on we’ve
got a little bit more to talk about but
i wanna heal something
because sometimes we
we misprocess pain
and the worst type of pain that you can
experience
is pain that comes to you in a season
where you were doing all that you knew
to do
you gave your all to the relationship
you gave your all to the career you gave
your all to the job you gave your all to
the ministry you gave your all you gave
your all you gave all of yourself to it
and then you got hurt because the
logical mind says if i give my all
to this good thing then there’s no way
in the world i should get hurt
and that’s not what psalm 37 says
psalm 37 says even when i’m ordering
your steps you will fall
but you won’t be utterly cast down
because the guarantee is that
i’m holding you even
when you fall because i am developing
you i need you to be the type of person
that can be disappointed but not stop
believing
that your disappointment doesn’t turn
into disbelief i still need you to be on
fire i need you to shake it off yes it
hurt yes cry yes pray shake it off and
get on fire again
[Applause]
get on fire again
i need you hot at all times
and so
i believe that
and i got to say this and this is just
my testimony and i just i’ll tell you
straight out
there has never been
a disappointment that i’ve experienced
in my life
that did not
catapult me into another stratosphere
of grace anointing and progress
i i can think of some
some doozy seasons
where i was like god this is unfair
i’m your dude i got jc3 on my
no i’m like god i’m your guy i’m your
dude man i laid it all down i left
corporate america i did every
i did exactly what you told me to do
and yet here i am
disappointed
hurt
upset what part of the game
is this
and somehow
someway
god had just this little lifeline
sometimes that’s all it is some of you
get in the lifeline right now
but it was just this little lifeline
and it was god still
small voice
this little lifeline and i held onto
that lifeline through the dark see
sometimes it’s not going to be bright
but you got to keep on walking because
he didn’t say the steps of a good man
are always bright steps he just said
that they’re ordered right but he also
said in another place either i walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death i will feel no evil for you are
with me i will walk through it
there’s nothing that i face
painful physically emotionally
spiritually
that didn’t set me up for greater things
later not a one thing i can count each
one
and so
we get to this place where we can accept
disappointment
as long as we know there’s a strategy
i can i can i can i think that there’s
some in this room and you’re gonna have
to have to tell your disappointment but
yeah there was a strategy though
even in my pain as a strategy now now
david um
he
is asking a lot of us he’s preaching to
us he’s basically telling us the steps
of a good man are ordered by the lord
he’s telling us that the order steps
that we need to pursue we need to walk
in
right in other words you need to abandon
how you want to do life
and really pursue god and the steps that
have already been curated for you steps
that have been ordered for you right
that’s a tall order
and if that order wasn’t tall enough
then he says and oh by the way you’re
going to fall
even with order steps you’re going to
fall i think david realized that that
that what
he was asking through this song asking
of us even asking of us today
he knew somebody would be reading this
thousands of years later
because let’s just be honest going to
have a real moment with you let’s just
be honest
i came here to ask you to surrender
to god’s ordered steps for your life
now i realize that that is a good
hallelujah thing to say in church
but in actuality in your life that is a
tall order
because you already got your thing going
hello somebody
you had your thing going when you walked
in here
and you going have your thing going when
you leave out here
you didn’t come in here planning on
potentially suspending your thing
whatever your thing is
can we have a real conversation here
you didn’t come in here
and say
my life before this moment
i am ending
and i’m going to walk into this building
and whatever the lord tells me to pick
up
even if it’s my cross and to follow him
that’s what i’m doing you didn’t walk in
there with that
you say i’m gonna just i’m gonna set my
thing down for a minute
and i’m gonna go up in here and worship
jesus for a minute
and my thing’s gonna be waiting on me
[Laughter]
you don’t have to amen i already know
you got plans i’m not saying they’re bad
i’m just talking about your own thing
i’m not saying that they’re negative
necessarily i’m just talking about our
own thing so so so this is a tall order
i came here straight out
to challenge you to call you
to
surrender in such a way
where you’re willing to only do god’s
thing for you that’s a tall order that’s
a tall order huh i realize that i think
david knew i was preaching this
and not only that but also oh and by the
way
while you’re doing that you’re gonna
fall
you’re gonna have to do some burpees
that’s a tall order but david seems to
want to soften that that blow a little
bit in what he says in this last verse
so he says the steps of a good man are
ordered by the lord and he delights in
his way he says though he fall
he should not only be cast down for the
lord upholds him
with his hand
and then he goes into is he’s selling
now
and he says i have been young
and now i’m old
and i’ve never seen
the righteous forsaken nor seed begging
bread now david is qualified
he’s qualified to get our attention and
to speak to us like this because he has
been through so much
in his life
david started out as completely rejected
saul came to anoint the king the king
was in jesse’s house
and dave and jesse brought up everybody
except david
that’s rejection
he experienced rejection he experienced
being overlooked he was out cleaning the
sheep
dealing with the sheep right he goes
from that god anoints him he goes from
that he fights a lion he fights a bear
then he has to fight goliath right so
watch this you talk about
disappointments
so david watches david gets anointed and
the prophet says you are king over
israel
the next thing you know he is running
from saul
and he is out in the wilderness his life
looks nothing like what was promised to
him he knew all about disappointment
but at least during those years of of of
waiting on god so to speak he had this
guy named
samuel who was a prophet to encourage
him but then guess what samuel dies on
him
so so the only
point of reference for all the prophecy
has now died so he’s running from saul
he’s hungry his men are tired he’s got a
few hundred people who have made him
king
they find themselves in a bad way then
the prophet samuel dies on him and he
has to to find
it within himself to continue on because
it’s a promise over his life well we
know things get better right
ultimately saul dies david gets the
kingdom everything is good for a minute
until he sees this gal named bathsheba
and he falls
and he ultimately you know the story
really when you get a chance it’s an
incredible swell
incredible it’s an interesting story
it’s like green leaf it just it plays
out like green leaf you know
we love green live god bless oprah and
everybody
i love so much
but it’s scandalous
and somebody gets killed
and then he gets bathsheba pregnant
and then they lose the baby
and then then then he gets past that god
has mercy on him but then his own son
tries to kill him
and tries to take the kingdom from him
then his armor bearer of years and years
tries to kill him and tries to take over
the kingdom and he goes to ups and downs
and ups and downs and ups and downs and
he dies in good old age he’s qualified
he is seeing so much in life but he says
i’ve been young
but now i’m old
and i have seen a lot of things in life
you name it i have seen it i have seen
scandal after scandal i’ve seen battle
after battle i’ve seen confusing things
i’ve seen crazy things i’ve been
disappointed i have been hurt but one
thing i’ve never seen
is the righteous
forsaken who is the righteous in this
context it’s the one who aligns
themselves
with their ordered steps
he is trying to affirm you and i in this
moment
of two things one
is that if you walk
if you pay the price to walk in ordered
steps
you pay the price to walk in ordered
steps
god will never forsake you you will
never regret it you will come out on top
that’s what he’s saying
one
pay the price of order steps what is the
price what is the price
what does that look like okay pastor
that’s all spiritual but what is what
does that look like ordered steps how do
i pay the price of order steps how do i
get my my my steps how do i align my
steps
one of the things that god spoke to me
is
in order to
to walk in ordered steps
you have to pursue god
you have to ask god see the first step
is pursuit
the first step in order steps is to step
to god in pursuit
and to begin to inquire
to ask god
what
is the choreography of my life
now one of the things that god showed me
is that most people ask god like this
god
show me which way to go
did you catch it
you catch it this is how most of us ask
god
god
show me the path i need to walk in
what’s what’s wrong with this picture
god show me where i need to walk show me
what path i need to walk in show me what
what
show god i need you to show me
and show me
come on guys show them and we’re
wondering why god doesn’t show us
he can’t show you’re moving all over the
place god show me
right because you’re already in your
rhythm
you’re already in your rhythm you’re
already
like i talked about doing your thing
god please show me god reveal to me your
will for me god show me which direction
and some of you be running god show me
which direction
you want me to walk in lord jesus show
me
and god says nothing you know why
because you’re already doing your thing
the way
that you get aligned with ordered steps
is you stop
watch this you stop
and you suspend your allegiance
to your current rhythm
oh i’m about to drive down your street
i’m almost done
in order
to be positioned
and sensitive and still enough
to even hear the instructions for
ordered steps
you have to stop
and be completely
submitted
to the rhythm and the choreography of
god
that’s the hardest part
you have to say i know that i’ve got
this going on
but right now
i’m being still because yesterday’s
choreography may not get me where god’s
trying to take me today
you got to
stop yeah stop
some can’t hear because you’re not still
the sound of the rhythm of you doing
what you want to do
is
bleeding into god’s voice
and god will never compete with your
will
you’ll never compete
the instruction of ordered steps are for
those who value
the voice of god
so he wants to do two things he wants to
encourage you
in that there is no one
who has ever
dove into this ordered step lifestyle
that has ever been forsaken they’ve
always come out on top
and then he says something that’s also
very interesting he says
i’ve never seen the righteous forsaken
nor their seed begging bread
and i thought that was interesting why
don’t we go to begging braille how do we
get into a conversation about provision
and one of the things that that
the lord spoke to me is that one of the
greatest lies
that your enemy stirs up within you
is he stirs at fear by suggesting that
walking with god will make you poor
oh let me talk for a minute this is my
last point we’re done
he he
he paints the picture
that says
that if you do it god’s way you’re going
to lack watch this you’re going to lack
acceptance
potentially you’re going to lack love
relationships community
and even money
there are people right now
who love god
but will not walk with god because they
feel like
walking in another way will make them
more money they feel like it will be a
downgrade i feel that for somebody
and so they compromise who they truly
are
because they don’t believe
that walking with god will pay off
because i see everybody else and they’re
not walking with god and they are rich
and i want to be rich
we laugh but i’m telling you i i know i
have friends
so
which is a lie actually
oh i feel the holy spirit
it is a lie and particularly in our town
in our industry it is one of the biggest
lies it says if you even mention god
you will be poor
you will be poor in opportunities
you’ll be poor in relationships
and you will be poor
listen it’s almost like saying there’s
no money in god
look how crazy that sounds
when the word says in proverbs 10 22
that the blessing of the lord
it makes rich
and he adds no sorrow with it but
perception
is reality and so what happens is he
ain’t quiet now but what happens is you
have a whole industry of people
that are marching to the rhythm of a lie
i’ve never seen the righteous forsaken
nor their seed
begging bread
so he’s saying
i understand in 2020
that your struggle mr talented mrs
talented
talented person that your struggle is
going to be one of your struggles going
to be one of the things going to keep
you from really diving into god and
walking in ordered steps
is you’re going to think that there’s no
profit
in being my prophet
but that there’s no
that that that it’s not profitable and
you start thinking about how am i going
to eat i fee i’m talking to somebody in
here today
there are some people right now in this
room watching via live stream scared to
go all the way in
because they feel like if i go all the
way in i will lose opportunity
and that is a lie
straight out of the pit
of hell and i feel like god wants to
break something in this room right
now
because your next and your provision and
heaven’s resources are tied into you
walking in your ordered steps
i think i want to lay into that right
now
i think i want to lay into that right
now because i feel it’s so i feel that
really really strong in this room
there’s some people right now and you
have been you’ve been in this this
wrestling match because god has been
tugging at your heart but every time but
you’re afraid to really yield to god
because you feel like if you yield to
god then then what are these people
going to think or how is this money
going to come or how is this deal going
to work out and is god going to want me
to to write some christian music or
write a christian film or something like
that and oh god forbid you ever do
something like that it is crazy and i
hear god saying i need you to trust me i
gave you gifts i gave you talents and
i’ve got opportunities i’ve got ordered
steps there are businesses that will
bless you that i will erect in media in
technology
in finances in real estate nobody’s
serving me
begs for bread
oh something is about to happen
something’s about to happen here right
now i’m talking to somebody right now
somebody is conflicted right now
somebody drank the kool-aid somebody
believed the lie somebody is afraid i
hear god saying no weapon formed against
you shall prosper you be my servant i
will open doors for you that no man can
shut
oh i gotta work it i feel it right here
this is what i came to this is what i
came to this is what i came for
i want everybody to stand up real quick
don’t you leave don’t you leave i’m
coming for you i’m about to break
something off of your life right now i’m
about to break something off of your
life right now and god’s gonna open
doors for you
i’ma break something off for you
fear
never profits you
it is false evidence appearing real
and god has been pushing you there’s
some in this room right now and god has
been pushing you he’s been pushing you
he’s trying to push you into your
purpose he’s trying to push you into
your calling but you’re a little bit
afraid because you’ve never been there
before and you’ve never seen it before
and you’ve never seen you can’t see how
you will prosper but i hear god saying i
will create ways i will make ways out of
no way this is the thing i’ll do for my
child
if you’re here
[Applause]
i’m after you i’m after you i’m after
you i’m after you i’m after you i’m
after you i’m after you
i’m after you i’m gonna get to everybody
but but but this but this group of
people
you’re in a battle
because
you have pursued something
but you are you sense that you’re losing
yourself in the pursuit of it
so on the one hand it seems to be going
well
your your career is doing this but your
life is doing that
get down here get down and get down here
you you’re you’re there’s a part of you
your career is doing this
but your life
your life and nobody knows and
and everybody around you watch this
everybody around you is cheering you but
you’re not cheering you
and
and what i’m inviting you to
are your ordered steps
because this is a moment i’m telling you
this is the moment i see it
i’ve been pastoring in this town for 15
years
and i’ve seen people come
and i’ve seen people go
and i’ve seen people take off
like stars and fall
like stars
i’ve seen people do it the right way
by ordered steps
and maybe it didn’t happen overnight
see that’s the issue the reason why
god’s strategy is always better
than our strategy
is because our strategy
is not patient
order steps takes time
sometimes you got to stay on one step
for three years
because there’s something
that is being developed by you learning
how to stay a place and be planted in
the place and not move it seems like
nothing is happening but something is
happening
discipline
is being developed
oh god phillip
i’m talking to a lot of people right now
and here is the struggle man if i really
watch this am true to the god in me
how am i going to eat
so you mean to tell me
that the god who knew you before he put
you in your mother’s womb
won’t feed you
won’t take care of you
won’t bless you
won’t prosper you could it be
that you actually
are getting less
than what you could get
because the devil is not a generous
devil
he just gives you enough
to keep you on the hook
no generous devil
he’s not
an abundant devil
just give me a minute guys give me a
minute
this this this this is this is why we’re
here
i see people come people go
i’ve seen people
walk away from god like the rich young
ruler in scripture you gotta study when
you get a chance
check it out the rich young ruler
he went to jesus all self-righteous and
everything and he was like
what
do i have to do to gain eternal life
jesus looked at him and said you know i
need to keep the commandments
he was kind of toying with him he said
yeah i’ve done all that
and he’s getting ready to walk away
justified right she’s like hold up dude
one more
thing he said i need you to sell
everything you have
and give to the poor and come with me
and here’s the crazy thing
crazy thing is
the rich young ruler
went away but he didn’t just go away the
scripture says he went away sad
because he he took the money but left a
piece of himself right there at the
moment of decision
and then later on in the text it gets
better
peter kind of got freaked out a little
bit he was like hey i left everything to
follow you we good
all right
it’s gonna pay off right
and jesus said
peter he says there is no one
who has left houses and lands and this
and that who will not receive watch this
a hundredfold
everything they gave up
watch this
you’re saying oh he must be talking
about when we get to heaven he said no
he specified it he said we’ll receive a
hundredfold now in this time
i don’t know who in the world i’m
talking to
there are some moguls under the sound of
my voice right now
you’re at a moment of decision
[Applause]
oh god i feel it so strongly
in entertainment because i’ll tell you
right now entertainment needs new kings
you’re not ready for that you’re not
ready for that
you’re not ready for that
in technology technology needs new kings
get to this altar i’ma pray something’s
gonna fall on you i’m telling you
something’s gonna fall on you
something’s gonna fall on you
a hundredfold
a hundredfold
never look at
who’s in position
never look at that
you ask the question who’s next
you don’t invest in what is
you invest in what will be harvest is
what will be you invest for harvest
i’m telling you there is an anointing
in this room right now i am over time
all this but i came for you there’s an
anointing
in this room right now
that will give you the strength to be
who you’re called to be i feel god and a
hundredfold blessing there are people
right now that came up through this
church
that are sitting in high places and they
love jesus
they love jesus
get as close to this altar as you can
and all you have to do
see i don’t want you to see this is a
moment like the rich young ruler had
he walked away sad when he could have
walked away not only with the
hundredfold but more importantly with
himself
you don’t ever want the first person
that you have to have integrity towards
is you
hello somebody
you should be
the first beneficiary of your integrity
oh god i feel it
you need to prove to you that you have
integrity
there’s somebody here and you don’t even
trust you
get to this altar please i gotta i can’t
do this forever but if god is speaking
to you
you say i want to walk in order steps
i wanna i wanna walk in order steps i
wanna walk in order steps i know that my
life is a strategy i know that my life
is a strategy and i want to walk in the
strategy of my life please come get down
here something’s going to happen see you

there’s something about you getting out
of your seat

[Music]
father
[Music]
father in this house
you’re doing that which only you can do
you’re shifting some things
there were some questions how what if i
do this what
and i thank you god
that you’re breaking the questioning
there’s something that happened recently
we’re done gosh
there’s something that happened recently
that you may have heard about
and some people laugh but i think that
god was in it there was a young lady who
was a dancer
and
a video went viral of her
falling from off the pole you probably
saw this
and
it was an interesting video
and she falls off the pole right and
she’s on wendy williams show
and it was kind of crazy because
she had been asking god
to
get her out of it
because she realized that it was beneath
her right but sometimes you feel like
you got to do what you got to do right
and you don’t have to do what you got to
do not like that but it feels like that
and i don’t judge anybody that feels
that way
but but the liar will and she was
praying like god this is i know there’s
more
and through that thing and she fell and
she got hurt right she failed i thought
that was kind of interesting though you
fall
though you fall
and long story short uh resources are
coming to her she’s going to school
she’s getting out of that not going back
to that again
the steps of a good man are ordered
though you fall
you should not utterly be cast down that
that is a sign you got to look at stuff
that’s a sign
on her level
compromising right if she was asking god
to get her out of it that means that
there was a part of her
that says this ain’t this is not it
and you know that wasn’t the most
ceremonious
way to get out
but she got out
and i feel that for somebody in here
right now
and you’re afraid who am i going to be
and how am i going to eat and am i going
to be accepted let me tell you something
if a person doesn’t
accept you
because you love god
you were in the wrong relationship to
start with
no fruit can come out of that
none
when i started walking with the lord
[Applause]
it was painful i’ll tell you i started
walking with the lord
my guy was my best friend i mean my best
friend right and he just disappeared
and i wasn’t even judgmental or anything
i was just you know i just just started
walking and he just he disappeared but
then i went back and i looked at what
our relationship was based on
club
and
and other stuff and
and so there was a connection but the
connection wasn’t the type of connection
that would bring out the best in me or
him
what are you willing to let go of for
your ordered steps for the strategy for
the reason why you’re here
i’m so proud of you
you came to this altar you’re going all
the way
and we’re going to lead you we’re going
to guide you and we’re going to feed you
but most importantly god says i’ll never
forsake you
nor were your seedbeck bread
so father i thank you as your sons and
daughters have said yes here in this
moment
i thank you god that you’re going to
feed them you’re going to lead them
you’re not going to leave them stuck
you’re not going to start them on a
journey and then abandon them you’re
going to be with them in the high times
and the low times you’re going to be a
source of counsel
and wisdom
encouragement affirmation and blessing
and i thank you god
that there is a 100-fold anointing in
this house right now
a 100-fold
and so whatever
they have to shake or whatever shakes
them
because they said yes to you i thank you
that a 100 fold return
will come to them i thank you for ideas
i see
creative strategies coming i see them
god is handing them out right now
creative
strategies in technology
in marketing and entertainment so you
got to remember one idea god is the god
of ideas
god is the god of thoughts one thought
can change your whole life
one thought
so god i thank you
that 100 fold is coming down
and not just in resources
in creativity
in relationships in favor because they
said yes honor i thank you for the honor
of this i thank you for the testimonies
that are coming the testimonies the
testimonies are coming they’re coming
coming
testimonies
testimonies ideas oh jesus christ of
nazareth
books
films
music
songs
businesses
apps
right here
watch this
and there’s something watch this uh it’s
in this house right now and you catch a
difference for you
something that there is not even a term
for yet
god is giving in this room right now
in this room right now
there’s not even a term for it
we weren’t calling them apps
what was a tweet 20 years ago what was a
tweet
20 years ago
you received that
[Music]
i ain’t making this up i only say
what i hear my father say
[Music]
hallelujah
come on let’s praise god something is
happening right here in this atmosphere
right here in this atmosphere
right here in this atmosphere
100 folks
100 folks a hundred fold you
a hundred fold you
there’s more to you you are unfolding
you are unfolding you are becoming more
you are becoming greater
[Music]
god kept some things
from you
because
they would not match the manifold you
when she would catch what i just said
oh
oh god
i’m trying to turn this thing off
god kept some things from you
because you were sizing yourself up
wrong there are dimensions of you that
were still waiting to unfold and if you
would have got what you asked for you
would have been unequally paired
you would have been unequally paired
with the relationship you would have
been unequally paired with the
opportunity
you had to be rejected god had to say no
the door had to close
because you
were still unfolding
[Music]
and the wrong alignments
[Music]
hinder your folding process
are you tracking with me
will keep you folded when you’re
supposed to unfold three or four times i
see an acceleration of your unfolding
you’re unfolding growth
[Music]
repeat after me heavenly father
i thank you for your love
i feel it
i thank you for your word
i receive it
i thank you for my ordered steps
[Music]
i will pursue it
i thank you for jesus
thank you for making him
who had no sin
all of mine
all of my weakness
all of my limitations
all of my shortcomings
you place in his body
nailed it to the cross
and put it to death
and just as he was raised up
free and victorious
because i’m in him
i’m raised up too
and i will continue to rise
even from falls
from glory to glory
now god i receive
the 100-fold anointing
[Music]
that’s in this mist
[Music]
in jesus name
amen amen come on somebody
[Applause]
[Music]
you
