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

close to me come on close as you can

there’s something about you getting out

of your seat

get out of your seat

[Music]

[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
