Genesis chapter 32 it’s not unfamiliar

beginning at verse 22 as a story of

Jacob Alleluia in his moment of becoming

in his moment of becoming I’ll Olivia it

says and and he Jacob arose that night

and took his two wives I’ll explain

later

somebody said holiday not uh that was by

mistake okay

you got to study the whole thing right

and he rose that night and took his two

wives his two female servants somebody’s

a glutton no kidding and his eleven sons

and crossed over the Ford of G Bock he

took them sent them over the brook and

sent over what he had then Jacob was

left alone and a man wrestled with him

until the breaking of day this man was

God verse 25 it says now when he saw

when the man saw when God saw that God

did not prevail against Jacob their

wrestling and Jacob is winning and so

God sees that he was not prevailing

against him and God touched the socket

of his hip Jacob’s hip and the socket of

Jacob’s hip was out of joint as he

wrestled with him and he said God said

let me go for the day breaks he said

you’re not serious about this you don’t

really want this you don’t want to be my

friend

God says let me go stop playing you

don’t you don’t really want to do what

it takes to lay hold of everything I

have for you you still playing games and

God says I’m a businessman

hey his business is the kingdom but God

says I’m a businessman I love you but

I’m not gonna play games with you only

holler at me if you’re ready for real my

mercy and my grace will be there you got

that all day baby you got my love you

got my mercy you got my grace you got

that all day but but but if you really

want to be a kingdom soldier if you

really want to be my friend if you

really want to walk in fullness and in

victory and then power if you really

want to be the head and not the tail if

you really want to live in such a way

that every place that the sole of your

feet shall tread up then you can’t play

with me so God says let me go do not

quite that way but but he says let me go

and then Jacob says I will not let you

go unless you bless me move right answer

verse 27 he so he God said to him Jacob

he says what is your name and he said

Jacob there’s a lot to that because well

let me keep reading it now I didn’t want

to preach as I read because I want to

get you seated but I’ll just tell you

really quickly he asked him his name and

Jacob had a history of being a slickster

and pretending and faking and shaking

and God says if we’re gonna do business

you got to be real with me

what’s your name for real

not your the ideal version of you I need

the real version who tell me the truth I

know already anyway I just need for us

to have a certain level of agreement

before we can start moving in the things

that I want to allow you to move in he

said what is your name and Jacob said

all right you got me Jacob which

literally means supplanter shyster

slickster right he was named and defined

by his issues his struggle and in verse

28 and he God said your name shall no

longer be called Jacob but Israel he

says for you have struggled with God and

with men and have prevailed that’s some

of you in here right now

in the year of becoming you you

struggled through some stuff but the

fact that you’re standing here tonight

December 31st 2018 halleluiah is a

testimony that you prevail Oh God God

put you through some stuff and man put

you through some stuff but you wiggled

your way we’re not gonna even play with

that he said your name shall no longer

be called Jacob but Israel for you have

struggled with God and with men and have

prevailed then Jacob asked saying tell

me your name I pray and he said why is

it that you asked my name that was kind

of interesting that jumped out at me and

God is basically saying You Know Who I

am why are you playing why are you

pretending to not know what you know I

almost want to unpack that but we got to

get through this what why are you see

this is 2019 is the year perspective and

what God is doing is he’s like listen I

need you to stop pretending like you’re

not who you’re not I need you to look at

everything that you’re dealing with all

your decisions and everything stop

looking at them through the lens of a

lesser version of you this is

year of perm I feel the Spirit of God in

this house this is the year of

perspectives every time you move it’s

gonna be according to our every time you

open your mouth is gonna be according to

who you are every contract every deal

won’t be side unless him

if you are gonna live a life with

[Music]

stop playing

okay

you gonna flow differently this year I’m

almost done

you you gonna flow differently you gonna

flow differently God is shifting your

perspective he’s shifting your

perspective that’s what he did with

Jacob he says you’ve been caught he says

you shall no longer be called in other

words you’re not gonna call you Jacob no

more you gonna call you Israel you gonna

call you by the name that I called you

you’re not a slickster I know you do

slick things but my DNA is in you some

of you getting ready to break out of

false identities you’re gonna make up

your mind once and for all

you are who got

[Music]

once and for all no more vacillating

back and forth I’m powerful in God who

I’m we just trying to get by I’m strong

and God Oh somebody give me a sandwich

the devil is a liar I am who God says I

am by the grace of God I am Who I am I

will no longer shriek I will no longer

backup

20:19 it’s gonna be in here focus it

still being here fire one last passage

Isaiah 43 and verse 1 this one verse one

verse but now thus says the Lord who

created you O Jacob and he who formed

you O Israel I’ve called you by your

name you’re mine now

if you graze over that you will think

that he’s talking to two different

people talking to one person so God is

saying I both create and I form so that

what I have created will ultimately look

like what was in my head before I

started are you tracking with me

2018 you can sit down if you want to

2018 every year I’ve been graced to give

a prophetic word about the year not

because I’m special but because I

believe as we all should walk in what

many call the Issyk our anointing they

were one of the tribes and it says this

about the tribe says a few things but

one of the things this tribe is known

for is that they had an understanding of

times and seasons and what Israel ought

to do with the people of God ought to do

so every year I pray and I say God what

what sort of word about the season of

the new year are you releasing in and if

you’ve been around for a while you’ve

heard several the year of alignment was

a couple of years ago and and and God

was bringing things into a lime and an

alignment season is difficult because it

seems all cue

and fluffy oh I’m getting into alignment

but but to get into alignment means that

things that are not in alignment have to

break off so 2017 was a year of

alignment and it was probably one of the

most difficult years but you got some

things in order and then you stepped in

the 2018 and 2018 was a year becoming

and what’s kind of tricky what’s tricky

about alignment is that you think that

the moment that you are relying you

start to take off and prosper and grow

and blow up and all that kind of stuff

no no alignment is just positioning you

it’s just a positioning you still have

to become it’s like Psalm 1 uu Psalm 1

in 3 we love that it says blessed is the

man that walks not in the counsel of the

ungodly nor stands and then well here’s

one the verse we love verse 1 and 3 it

says he shall be like a tree planted by

the rivers of water that brings forth

its fruit in his season is leaf will not

wither and whatsoever he does so prosper

we like that but there is the sequence

to get to there and it starts off by

saying blessed is the man who walks not

in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands

in the path of the sinners nor sits him

to see the score for his delight in law

Lord you know it so there is an

alignment that must take place to get

you in a position to grow to evolve and

ultimately to become and so 2018 is a

year of becoming it’s a year becoming

things have been happening a becoming

process is hard that’s the difference

between being created and being formed

the Hebrew word that was translated form

when he says that that I formed you O

Israel literally beings to squeeze into

form and has the idea of a Potter with

clay on its will and so that the season

of becoming is challenging and it’s

tricky because all of your stuff shows

up hey and so I don’t have a ton of time

because we’re gonna launch this thing

right into they know you’re in matter of

fact I’m just gonna talk to you I can’t

do that enough time to do that I’m just

gonna talk to you so so I like Jacobs

story

there are several stories in the

scripture about people becoming about

them going about them going from God

creating them to God forming them and

that’s your destiny to be honest with

you God created you and that is

wonderful but he is yet for

you and becoming I’ll be honest with you

becoming is not necessarily a one-stop

shop where we never really arrived as it

relates to becoming but there are

critical and pivotal moments where you

begin to take shape

in such a way that your life will never

be the same again oh god I feel it when

you go from trying to figure out who you

are to trusting and knowing who you are

and beginning to reflect the glory of

who you are in such a way that nothing

can stand before you oh let me say that

again

see you you cannot project what you

don’t perceive in other words you can’t

even project the glory of who you truly

are until you believe who you are until

your perspective changes are you

tracking with me that’s why you come

around some people and they they

gorgeous and all this kind of stuff but

they’re emitting ugly because their

perspective about themselves is such and

I believe that we’re moving into a

season where God’s people are gonna get

a revelation about who they are and

they’re gonna start walking in places

and they’re gonna start shining with the

manifest presence and the manifest glory

of God because listen the greatest glory

that rests on your life is the person

that got formed I got I gotta say this

right I gotta say this is right but

there is when when God finishes forming

you and you have this encounter with God

where you recognize oh that’s why I went

through that oh snap that’s why that had

to happen oh this okay I get it now and

you stop blaming God and you stop being

mad at God and you realize that the

difficulty that you went through was

part of the shaping and the becoming

process you didn’t know what was going

on because you were dizzy by the fact

that you were on the potter’s wheel but

God was shaping you

molding you into something that would

ultimately be unbreakable and unshakable

and would shine and it would blind every

devil and demon and hinders and obstacle

I feel God you gonna shine so bright

that nothing negative will be able to

stick to you if it’s not Jesus it’s

gonna flee I feel that thing right there

and that same light is gonna attract

every miracle their miracles assigned to

the real you

there’s favor assigned to the real you

all of creation is out there waiting for

you to be the real you the real you is

get ready to shake up your workplace to

shake up your industry I’ll fill it

[Applause]

[Music]

and what you cannot do is disqualify

yourself because of the colorful dynamic

of your background see the reason why I

chose Jacob to illustrate this point the

reason why I told you chose I chose

Jacob is because Jacob had a very

colorful background hey he had a very

colorful background

I mean drama from birth you gotta study

this incredible just drama from birth

he’s he’s a twin and he’s he’s sliding

into first position he was a manipulator

his twin brother Esau was hungry one day

and he came out of the field working he

was hungry like oh I’m so hungry and

Jacob said how hungry he saw said I’m

hungry I’ll do anything for some food

anything and and Jacob ends up swindling

you got his studies it’s craziest drama

I’ll tell you you can just put Netflix

on sleep and just read about Jacob and

and he he weasels the man’s birthright

from him it’s crazy and if that was not

enough when it was time for their father

is Isaac to bless him Isaac says bring

he saw in there cuz there was a little

bit of family drama he he favored Esau

over Jacob but Rachel favored Jacob over

Esau he said I’m getting ready to bless

my first buck my firstborn Esau bring

him in her to me and Rachel hears about

Anna Rachel slides

Jacob Oh tricky self up in there and he

ends up robbing him of the blessings you

got to study too much story to tell his

life is marked by shiki Nuri he has a

colorful background he’s got 13 kids by

four different women

he’s got two wives but only signed up

for one he is slicking people his uncle

LaVon slicked him and he turned around

and slicked him back colorful background

but I learned something about God why

would God use to be ultimately the

father of the tribes of Israel the tribe

through which the Messiah who were

redeemed the world would come why would

he use somebody with such a colorful

background I mean just scandalous are

you tracking with me and I’m learning

something about this becoming process it

takes a little bit of joy a little bit

of pain a little bit of holiness a

little bit of X freak can I say that I’m

in LA I couldn’t say it in Denver I say

it here it oh you don’t like don’t you

sit over there and you know why I say a

little bit of X freak because an X freak

is thankful for the mercy of God come on

somebody that if it had not been for the

Grace and the goodness and the mercy of

Jesus I would have died in my freaking

[Applause]

you don’t like it you don’t like it

that’s alright

[Applause]

somebody I got real quiet so just I’m

learning I’m learning I’m learning that

to truly become it takes all of that the

stuff that you count yourself out about

it it takes that in this encounter with

God Jacob as he’s wrestling with God his

perspective is changing the whole thing

was to get him to the perspective about

who he was his perspective is changing

his perspective first of all about

himself is changing

I believe that Jacob you know it’s funny

I did a little study on what happened

you know when it says that he touched

his hip

well it wasn’t necessarily his hip like

hip like you think could you think hip

and you put your hands and you think

that that’s not where he touched you

know the story in the story they’re

wrestling and the Bible says that Jacob

essentially is winning but the only

problem is he’s wrestling with God

you’re supposed to let God win if you’re

winning a fight with God you’re really

not winning are you tracking with me and

so they’re wrestling and Jacob is

prevailing over God which is not God’s

problem is Jacob’s problem and God loves

Jacob too much to let him win because

there’s destiny on his life I feel God

this is some of you I just want to say

it real quick like I see it the reason

why you haven’t won like you’ve been

wanting to win is because there’s too

much destiny on your life and God is

saying no I’m I’m gonna slow you down

imma imma hold you back because I’ve got

too much investment in you and if you

come up the way you want to come up I’ll

never get you back who in the world in

my talk

– you will not 2018 it’s gonna be my

year but God said no it’s not gonna be

you here because you’re trying to have

it your way and if you have it your way

you’ll miss your way are you tracking

with me so so God reaches it oh my god I

got to keep moving so god reaches in and

he touches he touched his Jacobs hip

right and the battle shifts he touches

his hip but it really ain’t is him study

in Hebrew he reaches in and the Bible

says that he touches truthfully his

inner thigh mm-hmm

is inner thigh and you know what’s close

to your inner thigh if you’re a man

hello somebody don’t stop that tonight

now sensitive and stuff I want you to

get this because if you keep if you give

in to that Hebrew word and you keep

breaking it down it literally means his

generative parts generate produce so he

grabbed him by that’s why I was like oh

I need you to bless me now

I won’t let you go until you fix this

study it he grabs him okay y’all too

serious okay he grabs him watch this and

he disables his ability to produce for

himself oh I feel the Holy Spirit in

order to save his life to say because

because he had tribes in him he had a

nation in him he had us in him and he

had the tuchas inner thigh he had to

grab him by the inner thigh up high

and Jacob had to learn C because Jacob

was so talented I feel the Lord because

he was so talented and because he knew

how to navigate things in weasel his way

in and out of things he learned to trust

in himself and not God I feel that you

know there’s some kings in the scripture

who lost everything and not all of them

had scandalous lives there were a few of

them that made only one mistake and that

was they stopped trusting in the Lord

God had brought them to certain places

he had given them position he had given

them promise and they just stopped trust

the worst thing you could ever do is

stop trusting in the Lord and so he

learned in that moment not to rely upon

himself and then I also think he learned

in that moment to be worthy see there’s

some people in here right now and and

and I’m a prophesy all night and we’re

gonna pray and we don’t party in just a

few minutes but the reality of it is

words from God just bounce right off you

and they bounce right off you because in

the recesses of your psyche you don’t

feel worthy of the high level things

that God is speaking I feel God so much

so that when good things come you

sabotage them not you somebody you might

know but see see unworthiness is a huge

problem because it will show up you will

begin to do weird stuff I don’t know

where just sabotage it have the best

thing going but somehow when the

recesses of your mind you’re thinking

this is not gonna last this always

happens to me and if you dig into it and

if you dig down into deep enough there’s

a spirit of unworthiness somewhere jasa

fat jacob had that right before this

he’s praying to God he says God I’m not

worthy of the least of your mercies and

I believe for some of you as you step

into this new year you

have to shake that off it’s not because

you’re so good it’s not because you’re

so righteous God says I’ll have mercy on

who I have mercy on so he learned his

things about himself I want to just move

through this because we’re going to pray

in a moment but then I also think he

learned some things about God I think he

learned that that God is not this

sensitive emotional pout when you mess

up if you’re not clean don’t touch me I

think he learned that God was real and

the reason why I know when I say God is

real I mean God deals in real things God

deals and colorful things I know we

don’t like that but with the exception

of Jesus just about everybody he used in

the Bible had a colorful background Paul

colorful he killed Christians colorful

Rahab the harlot colorful tax collectors

and publicans colorful come on somebody

bit 100 the woman caught in the act of

adultery colorful Mary Magdalena the

Freak the x-rated colorful y’all don’t

like it but it’s true even got cherry

picked all the people I need this is

very Jim right here any time not to my

Mary I need this already you know cuz

he’s one time and that was it but not

about the people that he got mileage out

of colorful Peter cussing and cutting

off ears and and butt-naked jumping in

the ocean colorful colorful and even

even isn’t it interesting that God would

use for the sign of a covenant of mercy

a rainbow

colorful you think I’m joking Jacob even

gives his favorite son Joseph when he’s

early on a coat of many colors let’s all

say it together so the more I like that

the more your life the more you can use

you are you tracking with me

watch this even Jesus became colorful oh

you don’t like that you don’t oh

religious people like all you have done

did it now first it took my ball

grabbing and all this and that and now

this is just too much now you say Jesus

was colorful no I didn’t say that I said

Jesus became colorful for God made him

who had no sin to become sin so that we

might become the righteousness of God in

him God’s gonna use your color he’s

gonna use your background he’s gonna use

her disappointment he’s gonna use your

setback he’s gonna use the thing to

church I feel God he’s gonna use

everything because he wastes nothing he

brought you out so that you can bring

others out that’s why God said to Jacob

boy what is your name don’t come over

you’re faking like you’ve never done

anything no come over here faking like

like you’ve always sought me first what

is your name and he says Jacob

the colorful Boy Wonder

I’m Jacob I’m trying to do better that’s

why I’m here that’s why we’re wrestling

because I’m trying to get in my life

because there’s something on the inside

of me that knows that I can’t go on like

this I’ve made a mess of my life my

brother is seeking to kill me I’m trying

to make amends with my brother but it’s

crazy there’s so much going on

Esau was looking for me I’ve just messed

up in my life and I heard about the god

of my father the God of Abraham and the

god of Isaac and just maybe just maybe

if I get in front of you and I bear all

you bless me and he did and it was all

to get to a perspective it was all to

get Jacob to this moment of becoming

where he would no longer call himself

Jacob but from that moment forward he

would be Israel that’s where you’re at I

really believe that God’s gonna speak

some things to you I believe with all my

heart and he’s gonna call you by your

real name but I want you to be honest

see Jacob he named the place that he had

this encounter it completely shocked him

he thought he was unworthy and God

blessed them and and brought him into

his inheritance right he had his moment

of becoming and he names the place

Peniel

and he says that I’ve seen God face to

face and I didn’t die I seen God face to

face and I I survived I think the last

the last moment of becoming for you

tonight I believe that many of you gonna

step into some God’s gonna show you

something I believe he’s gonna change

your name and he’s gonna change your

perspective tonight we’re gonna pray for

you I think it’s gonna happen

and when it happens hear me we’re gonna

pray in a second when it happens you’re

gonna have to fight to maintain that

perspective that’s why this is the year

perspective I would take the first month

of the year maybe even the first quarter

of the year in all the words that God

speaks to me and all the things that God

says to me I would rehearse and

regurgitate and use it to fight back

against everything that would try to

present an alternative perspective of

self and perspective of God I’ll tell

you right now somebody I was on social

media today and somebody called me my

name my name from watts

yeah without right right right because

everybody not everybody but some people

will try to pitch their perspective on

you to see if you’re gonna answer I

don’t I don’t know right right right

right down in the liquor store somewhere

down I don’t you’re gonna have to guard

your perspective you have to fight

against things you’re gonna to fight

against old seasons and and old people

in old situations because because who

you are

there is a sound connected to who you

truly are

there’s a sound and if you do not hear

that sound come out of somebody’s voice

then they are not for you you can’t help

them they cannot help you because the

only person that can help me is the

person that truly sees me and if you

don’t truly see me that means you don’t

have perspective of me and I love you

but I can’t rock with you because we

can’t get together and make a baby

because I’m only putting out holy babies

are you tracking with me

I’m only pushing out holy babies if you

don’t see me right and I don’t see you

right what can we produce so here’s what

I want to do if you’re here tonight and

you say pastor I want to be real with

God I want to see God face to face

that’s interesting I want to see God

face to face a true encounter with God

an encounter of surrender is a

face-to-face encounter it’s not just God

looking at you he’s always looking at

you right his face is always towards you

a face-to-face encounters when you

finally stop think on your ways and turn

your feet to his testimonies as David

said so having the face to face with God

the onus is not on God the onus is on

you being willing to show God to look

you know people

they don’t look you and I you don’t talk

about you I can’t not it just drives me

crazy I won’t do business with you I may

not even pray for you it’d be a quick

prayer look me in the eye

show me who you are what’s your name if

you’re here and you want to look God

face to face and you want to be real

with God and you don’t want to step in

the 2019 faking and shakin but you want

to step into 2019 knowing that you’ve

had a true face to face with God right

here at this altar we’re going to pray

for you gonna have a moment with God and

I believe that as you’re real with God

and tell him who you’ve been he’s gonna

tell you who you truly are and where

you’re headed if that’s you I want you

to come and meet me at the altar

everyone else stand if you would that’s

you I want you to come meet me at the

altar what better way to cross over into

2019 then at the altar having a

face-to-face with God come on come on

the countdown has started come on

hallelujah

midnight at the altar stepping in the

20:19 with a face to face with a face to

face I’m Jacob I’m Jacob I’m ray-ray

whatever I’m baby I’m boo-boo whatever

because I’m not gonna be Jacob anymore

we almost there come on make your way

there I want you to be here get as close

as you can it’s about to be midnight

it’s about to be midnight right here at

the altar powerful things in the

scripture happened at midnight I believe

you’re about to experience something

here we go here we go nah hey seven six

five four

[Music]

some misshapen

we’re having a face-to-face with God

hallelujah we’re coming into the new

year

on our face we’re coming into the new

year in his presence in his quartz

family let me tell you my story I know

if you’ve been here for any length of

time you heard it before

but this was in 2000 and I was Jacob man

I was Jacob

I knew the promises of my father but

quite frankly I didn’t know I didn’t

know what living out the life that I was

called to look like I didn’t know it so

I was kind of like I was in this pickle

because I believe in God I had that part

worked out but because I was talented

and gifted and skilled I was producing

out of my own strength are you tracking

with me because that’s all I knew how to

do and I knew how to succeed in my own

way right and God just did it man I was

at a moment a season in my life where I

was prospering outside but inside I just

there’s a timing thing in that story

he sends people away and he finds

himself alone but it doesn’t even really

say that that he created that alone time

it just was time and and God starts

wrestling with him and that’s what’s

been happening in the hearts of some of

you God gods he’s wrestling not because

he’s trying to hurt you but it’s your

time it’s time for your name to change

the world needs your name to change

right

and it wasn’t even that Jacob was a bad

name that wasn’t necessarily it but it

wasn’t his divine name Jacob was

successful you study it is crazy he was

very rich at that moment he got richer

but he was very rich at that moment he

was successful his rich had two wives by

mistake it’s a long story but his inside

started catching up to her and God says

it’s time I need you so for me I was

Jacob and so I went on this to search

right it was about seven months I’m

struggling back and forth I’m gonna get

it together imma get it together I’m

gonna do right and then do wrong you’ve

been there before Paul said it was kind

of like the good that I want to do I

don’t do and the thing that I’m trying

not to do that’s the thing I do that was

me

for seven months back and forth back and

forth and then I had this penny old

moment and it was just like this for me

in the seventh month number of

completion when God said enough is

enough a just man falls seven times and

then rises up again that means that

there is a perfect moment for a radical

change that’s what it was like for me

right

and so God was in that moment in that

seventh month he said you sought me and

now you found me and he takes me back

over my life and he shows me how it

wasn’t because I was so smart he says

lookie here

right there it could have all crumble

right there look at here he made this

deal it could have all come down right

there

look at that look you see that oh you

was a little careless man over there I

could have come back and bite you he

showed me that it wasn’t me that it was

him all along

Oh

protected me and guide me and covering

me and keeping me and somehow in my big

head I thought it was me he said let me

show you something all I had to do is

reprogram that scenario right there all

I’d like to do is rewrite that line in

your story and you would be out of here

he said you sought me and now you found

me and I am Who I am don’t ask me don’t

be like Jacob and asked me what my name

is You Know Who I am I’m the one that

was with you when you were 9 I’m the one

that was with you when you were 16

bleeding in South Central

don’t-don’t-don’t why are you asking me

what my name is you know I’ve proven

that I’m good

don’t play with me stop no he said you

sought me now you found me and he said

what are you gonna do and I remember the

only way I can describe it I just

remember the conversation we’ve got up

to that point was God speaking to me in

my ear

and if he’s speaking to me in my ear

that means that I’m not facing him that

means that I’m still facing my way

trying to decide what I’m gonna do next

that’s what some are in this room some

watch would be a live stream right now

God’s talking to you but he’s talking to

you to your ear because you haven’t

turned to him entirely as long as I’m

doing this sometimes I’ll be honest

sometimes when people are talking to me

that I don’t necessarily want to spend a

whole bunch of time with my body

languages like this and I’m hoping that

that means stop talking to me so that I

can move this way that’s when I’m

in a very good mood

but we do God like that don’t we imma

stay right here like this as long as

you’re talking good but when you require

something of me I’m be like I ain’t here

oh wait hold on I can’t and so in that

moment when he was saying you sought me

now you found me that was going in my

ear he said you you sought me now you

found me what are you gonna do and I

knew that my life needed to do something

not my mouth I knew that my life like

the totality of mine you know what I’m

trying to say like my life needed to do

something like the whole of who I am

needed to do something and I just

remember family this is how that before

me and that’s how I was and this is how

it’s gonna happen for you

I remember just turning to face the

voice that was talking to me I wasn’t

afraid to turn and I surrendered and

family let me tell you instantaneously

nobody laid hands on me instantaneously

I was baptized in the Holy Spirit of God

nobody touched me that was later I got

an impartation later but that was

between me and God it was a face to face

and I was filled with the Spirit of God

and my eyes got light

and my heart got strong and the taste

for things got taken out of my mouth

instantaneously I’m talking about things

at the taste was gone

just like that strength clarity I went

and I picked up the scriptures and where

it used to be just boring text confusing

unrealistic boring just full text all of

a sudden out of words of jumping off the

page

wisdom is coming off the pages smacking

me in the face of them like how did I

miss that it was like God wanted to

activate me it was like he turned me on

I thought I was on oh I feel the Holy

Ghost

put me on you don’t even know what

you’re asking for it was like God turned

the real meat on BAM and the whole world

looked different and stuff that was

stealing from me life and time and

energy I probably look younger now than

I did then it was like this restoration

thing came upon me and he changed my

name and I’ve been walking in that

identity ever since from faith to faith

and glory to glory and he wants to do

the same thing for you

we want to change your name so we just

want to pray for you I love you so much

happy new year I believe family that

something’s gonna happen here and you

got a fight you got to fight for your

perspective I’m telling you there that

when God gives you I think that there’s

gonna be a lot of inspiration new

inspiration as you are aligned in this

way there’s going to be fresh

inspiration and when God gives you

inspiration you’ve got to consider it a

gift

because inspiration is the seed of

innovation are you tracking with me it

is the seed Oh glory to God can i

prophesy for a minute it’s the seed see

your wholeness your wholeness is going

to be your advantage because I mean you

can just you can google this right now

the economy is on is doing something

weird right now man I love telling God’s

people this type of stuff the economy is

on the brink of doing something real

strange it’s got to be a crash I’m not

trying to scare you it’s gonna work for

you if you’re lying right

wealthy people understand that a crash

is not a bad thing that’s when you get

in and you you I wish somebody would

catch what I’m saying how do you think

Joseph got so rich it was a crash in

Egypt but God had prepared him

beforehand you are in the right place

tonight I did not think that this is

gonna happen like this Joseph the one

with the coat of many colors the son of

colorful Jacob was position

his becoming was placed to place and

placed a place and then guess what there

was a crash in Egypt but the Lord spoke

to him beforehand and he began to

position himself so that the crash did

not affect him I feel the Holy Spirit

tonight Wow

the crash did not affect him it

prospered him you got to stop playing

now because God’s people who are

listening the sons of Issachar they

understood times and seasons and God

will give you inspiration which is the

seed of innovation so that you can be

positioned to prosper when everything is

crumbling I’m seeing I’ve been noticing

the level of service in a lot of places

is dropping way low like so much so that

I won’t even do business with some

places that I’ve done business with

forever because the the service is

dropping it’s getting Wailord I’m like

what is this and people who don’t get it

who can’t rest in the promises and

insurance of God they’re freaking out

right now

and so you’re gonna start seeing

companies start being shaken up and

falling big companies companies that you

would think would never fall can I talk

to some where my real people in here

tonight that believe that God has called

you to something serious if you’re an

entrepreneur a serious entrepreneur

raise your hand

Oh God i’ma pray for you it’s your

moment it’s for the kingdom I’m not

trying to gas you up about wealth

because you can be you have all that and

be broke internally which means that

you’re poor sometimes the people you’re

you just all wish I had their money or

wish I had their life because you see

the money but wealth is balanced true

wealth is balanced

it’s not just money it’s family it’s

relationships its health its inner

wealth that’s true well don’t let nobody

tell you that are you tracking with me

wealth is balance its balance and that’s

what God wants he says above all I wish

above all things beloved I wish you

prosper and be in health as your soul

prospers

balance balance there going to be

opportunities family and God is gonna

whisper them into your ear he’s gonna

inspire you at night keep your PIN by

your bed honor honor inspiration honor

inspiration it is a gift from God I know

it doesn’t seem like anything because

it’s only a thought but everything that

is around us happened because of a

thought everything you got on right now

started as a thought are you tracking

with me if you’re making this decision

tonight say God me and you face-to-face

give him my heart to you I’m telling you

who I am I’m gonna stop playing with you

I was turned up last night I was turned

up this morning God I’m high right now

if I’m to be honest just a little bit

that’s all right I love it look now

because you got glaucoma I understand I

I understand it’s for medicinal reasons

I got you I whatever okay

but God I’m Jacob healed my glaucoma and

I won’t do I be real with him

tonight he can handle it he’s not a baby

he’s not the sensitive little brat that

we make him God was so designed oh I

just disappointed Jesus be quiet no you

didn’t why pastor because Jesus is

omniscient that means that he can’t be

disappointed he knows everything there

has to be an ignorance in order for

there to be disappointment I thought

something was going to happen but it

didn’t I’m shocked and now therefore I’m

disappointed I am pouting at you you’re

on time out God can handle color he

could handle color because he knows how

to take all that and mix it up and put

the Holy Ghost on it and stand it up and

cause it to be something beautiful for

his glory keep your pen nearby and keep

this perspective see prophecy is to

create perspective how I see now

prophecy how I see now Pro 4th how I see

4th now prophecy is to change the way

you see if you change the way you see

you change what you expect if you change

what you expect you change what you get

I can talk to y’all night

I just love you man I just want to pour

it’s been six weeks y’all miss Jim

I miss you it’s good to be back baby can

you pray you receive what I’m saying

pray this is a face-to-face moment for

all of us and this is gonna be an

incredible year God was so grateful that

you saw fit to send a word that would

open our eyes to how you see us and so

God as we turn to face you we ask that

you were to remove every distraction

every excuse every memory every

insecurity that has kept us from fully

surrendering and we humble ourselves

like never before and we say God

anything that you want to use anything

that you need us to say anything that

you want us to give it’s yours because

now what we want more than anything is

to realize that vision that you had in

mind when you created us and chose to

form us so god I ask on behalf of these

your sons and daughters represented in

this world that this would be an

awakening like never before

that our eyes would be open and that we

would see opportunities and giftings and

talents that we never saw before because

we were seeing them through the lens of

who we are and not who you called us to

be god I speak life in this room I speak

abundant life in this room god I speak

creativity in this room creativity like

never before and while we’re at it God

let’s just go ahead and break some

generational curses in this

and let’s break some generational

brokenness in this room and let’s break

some community brokenness it’s in this

room because some of the battles that

we’ve been fighting aren’t even our

battles they’re our grandfather’s

battles but by the Spirit of the Living

God I decree and declare that this

battle is with me not one person will go

forward in my family not knowing the

true love of your love that has the

ability to set us free and give us

perspective that keeps us from going

back God we receive this word let it

take root in our lives and produce fruit

like never before and may we open our

mouths and open our eyes each and every

day and speak life into our dreams if

the power of life and death is in our

tongue god changed our words until life

starts springing up like never before

and only attracts people who speak our

language because from this point and

2019 I need a team of warriors rockin

with me because there’s a battle to

fight out here and I’m the perfect one

for the job

since you give us our marching orders

and that we would unleash heaven on Heil

and 2019

I’ll say everyday because that’s what we

do when we rock it with it Savior like

you Jesus
