[Music]
hallelujah family i am so excited to be
with you today for activate
and wherever you are i just want you to
let me know in the chat where you’re
watching from
i know that this is a global movement
and we’re impacting the lives of so many
and so
let us know in the chat where you’re
tuning in from i’m excited today because
we’re going to piggyback off from where
i left off when i was last with you and
i recently did a message on
help my mind is a mess and one of the
key things that we took away from that
message is that we got on this activate
21 challenge it’s a 21 day fast it’s a
mental fast that might sound different
for some people
but it’s a mental fast when we’re saying
you know what lord
during this 21 days i’m gonna fast my
insecurities
i’m gonna fast my doubt i’m gonna fast
my excuses
i’m gonna fast whatever makes me feel
unworthy i’m fasting that right
because you see we i talked about how
fear often has many faces and those are
the different faces that fear can come
sometimes come
and present itself in our lives when we
feel like god
gives you this vision god gives you a
dream and you’re like god i feel
unworthy
and that the root of that is fear but i
want you to watch the message
if you haven’t then you should go back
to it after this not right now
but go back to it and i want you to
watch that and join us in the activate
21 challenge because you see the truth
about life is that
you can have a knowledge about what god
knows about you
you could have a revelation about who
god says you are
but it’s one thing to have a revelation
and it’s another thing to walk
in it you know when i was praying for
this message there was someone in
particular and
for different people it might look
different but there was someone in
particular the lord showed me
and for 10 years that you have been
talking about the
same thing that you’re gonna do you’ve
been saying it
over and over you’ve been telling your
friends your family members
at this thing that god has showed you
this and you’re going to do this but for
10
years it’s the same story and no action
because every time the moment of
opportunity comes up
you the fear of like oh am i am i
actually ready for this
and you know am i really the one did god
really say it cripples you
and so when we are doing this 21 day
fast we’re saying lord
you’ve spoken to me there are things
about my life and my identity you’ve
you’ve showed me lord but now it’s time
for me to walk it out
and so we are walking in the direction
of our fear
that whatever it is that causes you to
be crippled in the face of opportunity
they were saying god i’m walking that
thing now i’m fasting
from anything that is toxic to my
identity
and so join us now the beauty of this
is that this is going to create a rhythm
of consistency in truth in our lives
that we are going to start walking out
who we are and be consistent in the
truth
because you see family the the reality
about life is that all of us are
consistent
each and every one of us but either we
are consistent in our excuses
or we are consistent in our truth either
we are consistent in
in our fear and saying that you know
what lord i’m just going to hide on this
one
i’m not ready to call somebody else
either that’s our consistency
or that we are the type of people that
when god puts a vision in your heart
when god reveals a word to you that you
are consistent
in walking it out that when you’re the
when you’re saying that god i want to
know you better i want to know you more
who are you lord jesus that your
consistency can reveal that this is what
your heart is really after
that you’re the person who is seeking
the face of god
every single day not just in the moments
when you feel good
but every single day there is
consistency about your life
you see there was a man in the bible
named daniel and it was said of daniel
that he is one who
carries this an excellent spirit in him
and if you have never studied about
daniel’s life i want you to read about
it
because there is something about his
relationship with jesus that is so
beautiful
but daniel was a man of consistency you
know it’s so interesting
you see there was a moment where the
people who were looking for something
against him
and the only thing they could find is
what he’s consistent in
they’re like look you know what this man
every single day
at this time of the day three times a
day he is praying to his god
maybe we can use this as an angle to to
knock him out right
and so they tell the king read this
story if you’re unfamiliar with this
they tell the king at the time they’re
like look daniel is bowing
down to a different god he’s not bowing
down to you he’s now bowing down to your
statues and all of that
he’s not bowing down to your god they’re
like surely if he continues
anyone who continues in in this you know
behavior he the king didn’t even know
they were talking about daniel
but they thought they could trap daniel
in the place of consistency right
so they’re like king whoever is walking
out of life
that is bowing down to any god except
your
god you should throw him in the lion’s
den daniel hears about this
but what they didn’t realize is that the
place of consistency was the place of
power for daniel
that the place that he was seeking the
lord every there was something
that caused him to continue in his
consistency that was a revelation about
what he understood his prayer time meant
it was the place of his power they
missed it
daniel hears about this he’s like y’all
are tripping
because from this place of consistency i
recognize
that there is no lion there is nothing
that could actually harm me
and you know what happens they throw
daniel
in the den and the bible tells us that
there was an angel of the lord
that was sent to shut up the mouth of
the lion
power that comes through the place of
consistency
you see actually not too long ago i had
a dream and in the dream the lord was
teaching me the power of consistency
in the dream this is just a very brief
summary because it was much longer than
this
but in the dream there was a woman and
the woman was having a conference right
there were people everywhere and there
was another lady who came to the
conference
but she had a walking stick and she’s
with this walking stick and and she
could you know she’s
it she had a lot of problems with her
legs so it was given her support
so this woman sees her and she
approaches her and she’s like hey
can i pray for you because you would be
you know you’re going to receive your
healing right now
and the woman is a bit like hey you know
sure
and so in this dream i’m in the dream
but i’m watching the dream i’m observing
the dream so sometimes
some of you may relate to this there
there are sometimes that there are
dreams that i have where it’s a teaching
moment with the lord
and so the lord is there and i’m
watching the dream and i can ask him
questions about what has taken place
and so this woman goes to this lady she
tells her to sit down
the lady sits down on the floor and she
you know she kneels over and prays for
her leg and she takes this really
dramatic right
she takes the her walking stick and she
you know flings it in the crowd
and she tells the woman get up and walk
and you will think this is like the
story in the bible
when the disciple told the man get up
and walk you know
silver and gold i don’t have but what i
have i give to you was like
wow you know this is a movie and she
tells this woman get up and walk and the
woman gets up
and the crowd they’re they’re cheering
on and she gets up and she
falls because she didn’t receive her
healing in that moment
and so in order to rationalize the
situation
some people in the crowd are saying wow
this this lady didn’t have enough faith
because everything that was available
was available right now she didn’t have
enough faith
and i understood in the dream that it
was the desire of the lord
it was the will of the lord for this
woman to receive her healing
that it was in the plan of god for her
for her legs to be restored
and so i asked the lord in the dream i
said lord
why isn’t it that this woman received
her healing
what what happened and he said to me
that the lady who prayed for her is
without oil
and i’m like lord are you saying she’s
not oily
and he said that oil comes from the
place of consistency
in my presence but that this woman
and this is a word he used that really
stuck to me he said this particular
woman
that she only seeks me when it’s time to
perform
and i said god what are you what are you
saying and he began to break it down
that the
when she comes into my presence is when
she has to prepare
a message to speak at her conferences
or things that have to do with her
speaking before people
but she it’s not that being in my
presence is not her norm
it is what she does in order to perform
even that word performance
god did not see it as this is just the
overflow
of my relationship with you he looked at
it as a performance
he said she doesn’t carry the anointing
because
oil is very symbolic to anointing she
doesn’t carry the anointing the power
that is required
to release and cause my will to be
manifested in this other woman’s life
and i was shocked by this because i’m
like lord
so could it be that there are moments in
life
that your will the only reason that your
will has not
manifested is because what it
what it requires is consistency to some
degree
whether it is consistency in the
presence of god
or consistency in the very thing that
will cause his purpose to be manifested
on the earth it could be consistency it
could be your work ethic it could be
consistency in doing the very thing
connected to what god showed you
and he began to show me that power is
released in the place of consistency
because you see even in the spiritual
realm
consistency attracts the spirit
nature of what you’re doing now to say
this better
when you are consistent in something
when you’re consistent in something that
is is connected to
the purpose of god your consistency
attracts the help and the support of the
holy spirit
because god is not just looking at what
you’re saying
he’s looking the reason there should be
some type of results that flows from
your life
to show that you are in agreement with
him
agreement is not just what happens when
you say yes lord
agreement is what happens when you
actually move in the thing
you see noah in the bible when the lord
tells noah
to build the ark it’s one thing to say
yes
to building this ark but it’s another
thing to actually do the work
when noah began to do the work all the
help that was required because
there’s a scripture that there’s a verse
actually in that story
that’s another thing you should read
there’s a verse in that story that talks
about how there was a moment when the
lord said to him
that the animals would come to you so
two of its kind but they would come to
you male and female
what will cause all the animals
that were created by god to be drawn to
noah
there was supernatural help behind the
scenes to lead the animals to the ark
when you are consistent in what god has
called you to do
all of a sudden the spirit of god will
back it up
it’s the same thing actually that
happens even when we see it
go left because for for instance
lust sometimes people say that i need to
be rebuked from the spirit of lust
because they found themselves in a
in some type of bondage in some type of
hold but the truth of the matter is that
the spirit of lust did not come upon you
the first day you were watching
pornography or whatever may have you
it’s that’s not when it happened
because on the first day you did it it
was your will you desired let me put
this on
the second day you did it it was your
will speaking the third day
the fourth day but all of a sudden when
you’re consistently doing this
then all of a sudden the spirit
connected to that
would be would find itself oh this
person is
calling for me and that’s what people
find themselves now in a place of
bondage that they they don’t know what
to come out of then now you actually
need to deliver them
from a spirit but sometimes it’s not
always a spiritual problem the spirit is
connected to the action
consistency but i’m going to talk about
the power of god
that also flows from the place of
consistency that’s my focus on today’s
message
and so just like the dream that the lord
showed me
when he said stephanie i have a desire
i have a purpose in this moment but
where there is no consistency then my
power cannot be revealed
it’s just like even with jesus there’s a
story in the book of mark i believe is
mark 9
and there was a boy that the disciples
of jesus could not heal
and when they could not heal him they
brought him to the lord the father
brought him to the lord
and he says your disciples couldn’t heal
the boy
jesus prayed for him rebuked the spirit
that was oppressing this child
and when he rebuked the spirit the
disciples later on said lord why is it
that we could not cast
out this evil spirit and the lord
responded and he said because this kind
only comes out by prayer and by fasting
jesus was talking about a lifestyle he
was not just talking about in the moment
because there are times in life that
something would confront you
and you don’t have the time to go on a
three-day fast
you don’t have the time to search for a
prayer closet you have to
speak to it right there and then but the
power that is released in that moment
is the evidence of where you have been
consistent in
and so it was not that it was not the
will of the father for this boy to be
healed
but that someone had to carry enough
measure of power
to release his breakthrough that’s
another topic
but we see this even in the word jesus
didn’t say
you know you couldn’t do this because of
something else he said this kind comes
out by prayer and fasting
there is a lifestyle of commitment of
surrender that this requires consistency
and so i want us to read this scripture
in galatians
galatians 6 9 and for those watching my
my message for today is the power of
consistency if i have not said that but
maybe you caught on
but there’s a scripture galatians 6 9
and let’s read it together
it says and let us not grow wary while
doing good
for reduced season we shall reap if we
do
not lose heart let us not grow
wary while doing good but in due season
in due time we would reap a harvest
if we do not lose heart you see i
recently read a quote that really struck
me
and it talked about how weariness is the
anxious
outcome and i’m like wow wariness is an
anxious outcome this this is really
interesting
and then it dawned on me that when you
are when you find yourself in this place
of uncertainty or anxiety
about the outcome of what it is that
you’re doing then
wariness kicks in because if all the
effort and the work that i’m putting
into a project
if all the effort and the work that i’m
putting into this thing that god said
and all of a sudden i find myself and
i’m like god i don’t know what’s going
to come out of this
i don’t know if anything i start dealing
with uncertainty
then weariness kicks in and this is not
the type of weariness that causes
physical
exhaustion no this is the kind of
weariness that causes you to become
inconsistent
you may feel like no i’m not the one who
i’m someone who when i when i have a
goal in mind i go after it
but your actions reveal your truth
if you find yourself week one you’ve
been working on that thing
you were motivated about that thing week
two
you started finding ways to you know put
make excuses and and have the excuses
validate what is happening i’ve just
been so busy
you know you know if you’re not busy to
brush your teeth
you are not busy to do the things that
the lord has called you to do
because when you value something when
you see the value of something you make
time for it
i believe and i’m really believing this
i really believe this in my whole heart
that everyone watching values good
hygiene
right and so because you value
good hygiene when you wake up it doesn’t
matter how busy your day is
you find time to brush your teeth right
to take a shower with soap and water
right we do this because we value good
hygiene
you’re never too busy to not take a
shower
you’re never too busy to not brush your
teeth it’s just it doesn’t happen
even in my country right there are times
in our
in my country in nigeria where maybe the
water stops running
but you would go downstairs you will go
wherever you need to go and find water
because you value good hygiene
the same thing so when we find ourselves
in this place of inconsistency
then our value has shifted all of a
sudden we start questioning
is it really worth it whether you’re
questioning that consciously or
subconsciously
and i get it because for one
look at the culture we are in our
society
celebrates overnight success and not the
process that it took
we don’t celebrate the fact that it took
someone 20 years to become an overnight
success
but we celebrate the moment of wow where
did they come from look at that
they went viral and now we build our
whole lives on going viral
that lord all i just need to do is do
this one video
and you will cause it to go viral i just
need to do this
one thing and because you are with me
imma go viral
that’s not how it works consistency
there was consistent effort
but you see what i love about this
scripture is that it it’s not i mean
we we still have our human nature it’s
not telling us that look in life
being wary is a sin it’s not saying that
because it’s it’s normal to a degree or
it’s expected to a degree
that when you are not seeing results of
something that it’s normal to sometimes
feel discouraged like god
i really hope this is going to work out
i really hope that something is going to
come out of that i know i’ve had those
moments and the lord will comfort me in
that time and say look my daughter i’m
with you
so it’s it’s normal to have these
moments of saying that lord i feel weary
in this time
but do not grow in it
that yes you can have the experience of
wariness but don’t
grow in it and i began to seek the lord
and how do we come to that place where
we are like okay
i experienced this moment of of
questioning
what can come out of this i’ve
experienced this moment of uncertainty
how do i get to the place of not growing
in it and i began to understand this
that you see consistency the fruit of
consistency
is not immediate it’s not the moment you
become consistent
it’s like you know after seven days or
seven months you may not see results
it’s not immediate and oftentimes
we are pulling strength from results
and it’s normal right when you have
results you find yourself motivated
when you see the results of your hard
work you’re like oh god
this was awesome you know let’s keep
going
but when you’re in the stage where no
one sees the work you’re doing
when it’s almost like writing a script
we we are excited about the movie when
we watch it
but we don’t understand what it took to
actually put the script together
write in a book what it takes to write
the book we’re excited when we see
the book cover available here now when
you know
but we don’t know what it took to
actually write the book
the business when you see yourself on
forbes you’re like
you know mama i made it but actually
what it took to build that business
from the ground up we don’t see that
and so when we don’t see results we
sometimes find ourselves
losing courage we find ourselves in this
place of being discouraged
and the lord began to teach me something
that when you don’t
have this when you don’t have the
opportunity when you don’t have the
the luxury when you don’t have the
ability to pull strength from your
results
then pull it from someone else’s and it
led me to this scripture in the book of
revelation
you know i know that revelation is one
book that we all avoid
even the book tells us that there is a
blessing just to read it
because i believe the lord understood
and my people they see this book they’re
like you know what turn
the other way it’s just like turn the
other cheek just you know look away
but revelation 12 11 it says and they
overcame
him him being the enemy by the blood of
the lamb
and by the word of their testimony
the power of a testimony you see when
you cannot find
results to pull from in your own life i
want you to begin to
research and look for people in the
field of what god has called you to
glean someone that you can glean from
someone that you can
learn from someone that you can read
about our pastor would normally say that
sometimes your best mentors would be
authors
and the question i have for you is that
who are you reading on right now
what podcast are you listening to what
do you have
in your life what is connected to your
daily habit that is actually motivating
your
giving you is feeding your motivation
rather
what are you doing that feed your
motivation outside of yourself
because you you would not see the
results from consistency
immediately it’s not that the moment you
conceive an idea that you
you manifested it doesn’t work like that
but what is it in your life that is
feeding your motivation you need to get
connected to someone
you need to be able to glean from
someone
you need to have a mentor in your field
that shows you that reminds you that man
when i’m going through this moment and i
feel like lord this
month three it’s year three and nothing
has happened
that when i’m going through that that
there is someone i’m gleaning from that
i realize
wait actually he went seven years and
nothing happened
and look at where they are now the same
god that did that lord you are with me
you need something that feeds your
motivation
you need to get connected to someone
every industry everything that god has
revealed to you about your life my
question is
what is feeding your motivation because
if you’re looking to only glean
results from your life when you don’t
have it because your testimony is still
unfolding
you need to be able to glean from
someone else’s
you see the testimonies of those around
us is to bring encouragement
it’s to show us that god you are the
same god even the lord
would make it known he would say look i
am the god of abraham
isaac he he he’s he’s excited about who
he is
because he’s like look if you don’t know
how if you if you’re yet to experience
me
understand what happened in the lives of
these people
i was the same god who did that so you
need to have people that you can
glean from and that is your assignment
this week that it was my assignment to
tell you
that when you don’t have the ability to
pull strength from yourself
you can pull it from another get
connected to someone
we’ve been plagued by this idea of
overnight success it’s not real family
it takes hard work it takes effort it
takes consistency
so many times we’re like you know what
we are
we are happier about the day we
registered the business name
then when we’re having a brainstorming
session to figure out how is this going
to be profitable
we have to get to the place that we are
lovers of process
and not moments because moments come and
moments go
but the process even when the moment
goes even if all your hard work and
something happens and a lawsuit comes
god forbid but when you’ve been through
a process you’re like look i can
recreate this thing
god has built me for this you have to be
a lover of process
and not just waiting for a moment
because the truth of the matter is this
the outcome the end result rather of
your faith is manifestation
faith would always lead to the place of
manifestation
and that is why the scripture tells us
in galatians it says in due
season you would reap if you do not lose
heart
because the end of faith is
manifestation
the bible tells us that faith comes by
hearing and
hearing by the word of god but then in
the book of jeremiah
the lord also tells us that he watches
over his
word to perform it so the word of god
comes to you not for entertainment
it’s not just to entertain you like god
wants to just gossip with you like hey
girl
no the word comes because it needs to
something about that word needs to
change something on the earth
it comes for manifestation and so when
you can tap into the rhythm of
faith and the mark of your consistency
is faith when you can tap into that
the end result will always be
manifestation
and so get consistent family it is the
place of your power
it is the thing that will lead you to
what you actually desire but you need to
start getting
you need to have accountability in your
life
and not just people that you’re
accountable to but someone that their
story becomes accountable to your
process
that when you feel like lord i’m all
alone in this no one understands me
and it doesn’t have to be someone who
has the exact details of your life
no but it’s someone that speaks to your
field
if you’re someone that god has called
you to to do things in multiple
industries you don’t have to find
someone that matches exactly all of that
but you could find someone who got
raised up in several places and in
several ways
and said let me let me learn about them
let me learn about their failures
let me learn about their their process
let me learn about the things that tried
them the things that tested them
and how they were able to overcome
because even when we study the word of
god the bible we are we’re learning
about a lot of people’s stories
outside of the things that we’re like
okay this is things that
build us up and edify us in god but also
the stories of
this people are also adding to us
and in the same way you are a story you
are the bible calls you a living word
so learn to glean from other people
you’re not an island don’t just try to
live life by yourself and the lord
you’re also called to live to do life
with people to have a community around
you
the end result of your faith would
always be
manifestation it’s going to happen
family that is a fact
but sometimes you just need a little
help along the way
you just need a little motivation along
the way and sometimes you can get that
from the stories of others
see i want to encourage you that if god
has said something to you
whether you’ve joined us on activate 21
or you’re going to be starting today or
tomorrow
if there’s something that the lord has
said to you
it’s your consistency that responds to
him that lord i agree
that lord i believe what you say and
that is where manifestation begins to
be attracted to your life because it’s
not just your verbal yes
it is how you live your life
in response to the word you see you
cannot be someone who just does things
out of the place of
you know being carnal minded and
carnal sometimes sounds like the king
james version like of talking
you don’t be carnal you know
but what i’m talking about is don’t be
someone whose
life is is is determined or is
driven by their by you know just the the
passions of their flesh
that when i feel good i do what i’m
supposed to do
but when i don’t feel good i’m i’ma do
it tomorrow
i don’t feel like doing it you should be
someone whose life
is governed by the word of god whose
life is governed by the holy spirit not
your feelings
feelings are good because they they
track with you they show you where you
are they show you what you need to lay
down before the lord but don’t be
governed by your feelings because some
days you don’t feel good to do
something some days it’s you’re not
always going to have the
feeling of doing good and what i mean
doing good is
is staying in the rhythm of what god has
called you to
you’re not always going to feel like it
i remember one time this was
a couple years ago the lord said to me
he said
you know stephanie meet me every day
some of you may know this story meet me
every day at 5 00 a.m
i want to talk to you and i was excited
family
i said whoo 5 a.m in the morning i’m a
wake up and the lord is sitting by my
bedside
and he’s just going to say what do you
want to know because funny stirring
is during that time i had a very
interesting request
right i was asking the lord and don’t
laugh if you know because god sees you
so don’t laugh
but i was asking the lord i said can you
take me to eden
this was my request i was actually being
very serious i said lord
i don’t want to just read about the
garden of eden
i want to see it i want to know what
adam looked like i want to know what eve
looked like i want to see the tree what
was happening there
can you just take me there for a moment
this was my prayer i was seeking the
lord i said god
i want to go to eden that’s that’s what
i want to do i want you
to take me to eden and i just want to
see it
i want to see what it looked like for
you to be talking with man
and so this was my request i don’t know
if i’ve ever shared this
and as a result of this request the lord
says to me you know what stephanie
meet me every day 5 a.m wake up and meet
with me
and i was hype i said
i’m about to go to the garden and i’m
about to eat the fruit
you know all the fruits maybe just the
one that was i don’t know i was just
excited
right so every day i woke up at five in
the morning
every single day for months it was the
most boring experience of my life
because i woke up nothing i said
well where’s the lord and i would pray
i would study the word i was bored
okay to be honest it was exhausting i
said god
i i don’t know where you are but i’m
here
and i have yet to see eden i have yet to
see anything
i don’t know what’s going on it was
boring family
months passed but one of some of the
things that motivated me is that there
are people that
also inspire my walk with god that when
i read about their stories when i read
about their lives i’m like
they would i mean be in the place of
waiting on the lord
months years just for god to reveal
himself
even in in a moment but they were in
that place of like god
we believe you’re gonna show up and i
was like you know what if they had the
ability every morning to you know come
before the presence of god i’mma keep
showing up but i was bored
but one particular day i woke up
and the i don’t even know how to
describe what took place that day
but the atmosphere of the room shifted
no one needs to ex no one needed to tell
me the lord is here or he’s not here
the presence of god in the room was so
strong
that everything in me recognized that
the king of kings is in this room
the moment i got up i fell out of the
bed and i just laid down
flat on the ground because it was just
this understanding the
the best way i could describe it it’s
almost like when the i
the the fear of the lord becomes um
active in your life that’s the best way
i could explain it
i just knew that the god was here
that he is here right now he is in this
room
and as i lay down he began to speak
and he said stephanie i’ve always been
here every morning that you woke up i
was here
i was just watching you i was always
here but you see it was this moment it
was the consistency
of showing up every single day
bored tired yawning drinking tea
thinking about a cookie
but every single day it was showing up
and the lord revealed himself in the
moment
and from that moment on even when i was
when i was studying the word it came
alive to me in a fresh way
that sometimes i’ll read something and
the the the holy spirit the way he began
to teach me it changed
it was not just words on the paper when
i’m like okay god what does what
happened here
and why this and why that all of a
sudden a lot of questions of my heart
began to be answered
in the time of study he hasn’t taken me
to eden yet
but all of a sudden it came alive to me
the very thing he called me to do i
could feel him equipping me
but it was in the place of consistency
he said i was always there
because you see consistency reveals that
you can be trusted
even when you think about a relationship
many times are so easy to say like i
just
love him i just love her i love him you
know just
love everywhere but when you think about
that
moment of saying what made me what what
was this moment of falling in love what
was that like
and many times you can trace it to the
to the place of consistency
that maybe it’s that good morning text
you get every day
hey big head you know
it’s something about the person’s
consistency that makes you feel like
wow i could really see my life with this
person
but where there is inconsistency you
start feeling a little funny about
somebody you’re like i don’t know
you know but where there’s consistency
all of a sudden you’re like wow
i could see my life with you
consistency builds trust it says that
you know what god
this very thing you’ve called me to do
that in this time because
every time that god equips us it is a
responsibility i always say this your
calling is not a gift
your calling is a responsibility
because you have become a bridge between
heaven and earth
to manifest the purpose and the promise
of god
so it’s not just this thing that god
gives you to make you feel better it’s a
responsibility
and you give you you and trust someone
you you make someone responsible for
something that you know that they can be
trusted
with and so family
if you’re feeling discouraged if you’re
feeling wary
my word to you don’t grow in it you can
have the experience of it but don’t
grow in it get connected start gleaning
what are you studying right now
you have some time on your hand begin to
glean from people
who actually feed your motivation
they feed your faith because what god
has called you to do on this earth it’s
serious
you’re a bridge our pastor is talking
about being being
bridge builders i’m like
you know i’m about to rap you know drop
a hot fire beat you know
no not really i don’t know how to rhyme
or rap
but i can sing but
all seriousness our pastor has been
talking about being bridge builders
right but he also calls us that we are a
bridge and we see this
you are a bridge literally you are a
bridge
for manifestation on the earth when we
say lord your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven
how does it actually how is it carried
out it’s carried out through you and i
it’s carried out through his people you
are a bridge
and it’s your consistency that attracts
the empowerment the resources it is your
consistency
that that calls the attention of heaven
on your behalf
consistency so let’s get into it family
see i want to pray for you you know one
i want to pray that
the lord will begin to open your eyes to
the people that you should be gleaning
from right now
maybe there’s someone you have the
ability to serve or maybe there’s
someone whose books you should be
reading
i believe in that god will begin to
reveal to you that maybe
perhaps in conversation randomly someone
would talk about someone
and it would strike something in your
heart and you would realize that oh my
gosh
i need to read their books i need to
learn from them just
even the other day yesterday i ordered
books from
um from the author named watchman knee
because when they talk about him i heard
a pastor talk about his life and all of
that
i was so moved by it i said oh my gosh
that is beautiful i want to know what he
learned about the lord i want to know
what what gave him the ability to
surrender in such a way
and so i just bought three of his books
at once
[Music]
and i’m like you know what i’m going to
be more committed to reading myself
reading and learning and gleaning from
these people that their lives the
stories of their lives would inspire and
feed my motivation
and i’m believing the same for you that
god will begin to open your eyes that
you will just hear
in conversation that you’ll begin to
hear about people
that you’re like oh my gosh i need to i
need to plug
in i need to get plugged in
now if you’re watching and you don’t
know the lord that’s where it begins
because if we go back to that scripture
in revelation
it says that they overcame by the blood
of the lamb
and the word of their testimony
it is the sacrifice of jesus that gives
us the confidence to know that victory
is ours
it begins with him and to be honest it
ends with him too
but it starts with him and so if you
don’t know the lord and you’re watching
this and you’re just like lord
something up from this message is
speaking to my heart
i want to know you i want to seek after
you
and even after this prayer family i
encourage you
to be consistent sometimes it would be
the most boring thing reading the bible
sometimes it could feel like this even
seems like it’s contradicting itself
but when the holy spirit begins to open
your eyes about the word
all of a sudden it’s like going from
black and white to color
you’re like oh my gosh this was this was
in here all the whole
log it comes to life
as a kid i remember this reading the
bible as a kid
when i would read about all the
sacrifices they did i remember like
when we will be growing up and maybe
they’re killing a chicken
i mean it’s what we did you know they’ll
be killing the chicken and i will run
downstairs and i’m like save the blood
[Music]
we need to offer it to the lord and my
mom is like stephanie no
no no no that’s not it
but i love those moments because i can i
can
trace i can track my growth in god
i can go from the person who is trying
to save the chicken
to bring an offering to the lord to the
person who starts to understand what an
offering actually means what it means to
actually be the offering to the lord
and so if you’re seeking after god not
just about this moment of prayer
but commit in your heart to say god i’m
gonna go after you
get a bible get a bible you can touch
you can feel not just one on your phone
because when you’re reading it all of a
sudden you went from genesis to
then to the book of twitter but get a
bible you can touch that you can turn
your phone down and say lord right now
it’s you and i
and i’m just gonna keep reading set a
time each day that you would
come before the lord in prayer and just
sit with him and journal if you have
questions in your heart
write it down god why was his name
adam this is just so random right just
write down stuff and just say god i just
want to understand
right and all of a sudden you will find
out that inconsistency
all of a sudden you will ask a question
and the answer will just be downloaded
in your spirit
consistency but the same thing with us
in
every area of our lives this is the
bridge to manifestation
and so let’s pray and if you’re giving
your life to christ
i want you to just put in the comments
i’m in
and i’m coming home yes
i’m coming home oh thank you jesus
thank you lord thank you lord
you’re here right now and you’re filling
the homes of your people
i thank you lord jesus that our minds
are being renewed
i thank you lord for the power of
transformation that is actually taking
place right now in the lives of your
sons and your daughters
lord i pray that you will open your eyes
to the people that they can glean from
that would feed their faith and feed
their motivation
i thank you lord for the testimonies of
others that you would place around them
lord that it would show them that you
are the same lord you are consistent
your word says that jesus you are the
same yesterday today and forevermore
that when they see what you have done
when they hear about your stories what
you’ve done
what you’re doing they would know what
you can do
because you’re a consistent lord and so
i thank you lord for what you’re doing
even right now lord that every wariness
we’re not going to grow in it but we’re
going to grow in you
we’re going to grow in truth we’re going
to grow in character we’re going to grow
in love
we’re going to grow in consistency
and heavenly father for all those that
said lord i’m coming home
i’m coming home i pray lord jesus
that this moment of their yes
when they’re saying lord you are the one
who died for my sins
you are the one who made it possible for
me
i want to know you i want to lay down
everything i want to pursue after you
that lord it would not just be about
this moment of saying
yes but what they’re saying yes to
is to be consistent in their pursuit for
you
and i thank you lord that you will
show up you would make yourself known to
them in great ways
you would reveal mysteries about who you
are to them in
such unique ways i thank you that the
word of god would even become alive to
them oh god as they continue to read
i thank you lord god that you would
strengthen them even in their prayer
life
lord i come against every attack of the
enemy on consistency
in the name of jesus lord that we would
recognize that this is not a moment for
an excuse to be born but this is a
moment to recognize that my destiny is
under attack
i thank you lord that we would see
things for what they are
and not what we like it to be
that everything you’ve called us to do
that in this moment we’re saying god i’m
committed
i’m committed i may fall one day
but i’m getting back up it’s not gonna
be the thing i talk about to laugh about
and joke about
but i’m gonna get back up because i’m so
many
i’m seeing destinies that have been
under attack and we’ve been laughing
about it but lord i rebuke that right
now in the name of jesus
i thank you lord that we will be
sensitive
to the things that we ought to do
and not just looking at it like it is
the works but recognizing that works is
the evidence of faith
thank you jesus have your way lord
in jesus mighty name amen
amen
you
