family while we’re standing let’s just
open up in prayer
Heavenly Father we thank you we thank
you for this moment that we are gathered
in your name we thank you Lord for what
you have purposed to speak to us and
reveal out of us Loree God we say have
your way I submit myself as your vessel
may the word that you have for your
people or gammac may break every
resistance and speak to their hearts and
their minds renew our minds o God with
your word have your way in Jesus mighty
name amen
family we’d like to stand for the
reading of the word safety though my
standing for just a few minutes or hours
don’t care you know I know where it’s so
excited a worship and we’re gonna get
into that I just want to share a few
things that the Lord place of my heart
for you all and so we’re gonna read from
Genesis 11 verse 1 to 6 and that’s it’s
coming up it says now the whole earth
had one language on one speech and it
came to pass as they journeyed from the
east that they found a plain in the land
of Shinar and they dwelt there then they
said to one another come let us make
bricks and bake them thoroughly they had
brick for stone and they had ash fat for
mortar and they said come let us build
ourselves a city and a tower whose tough
those tough goes in the heavens let us
make a name for ourselves lest we be
scattered abroad over the face of the
whole earth and me really from here but
the Lord came down to see the city and
the tower which the sons of men had
built and the Lord said indeed actually
let’s go back to verse 5 I want you guys
to catch something really quick it says
the Lord came down to see the city and
the tower which the sons of men had
built so he had seen something completed
okay and then in verse 6 it says
and the Lord said indeed the people are
one and they all have one language and
this is what they begin to do now
nothing they propose to do would be
withheld from them family may be seated
you see what is fascinating and drew me
about this scripture it’s that and
there’s so much in this scripture it’s
one filled with out there specific
things I just want us to speak on when
the Lord came down it says that he came
down to see the city which they had
built but then when he comes down it
says now his language changes and he
says what they begin to do so which is
it Lord have they done it or are they
beginning to do it is that the beginning
stages or it’s completed you see what is
powerful about this people it tells us
that they were of one language basically
family this people were one in mind
they had one goal one decision and they
were united in that thing
they were surrendered to the idea that
they had for themselves you see the
beauty of surrender surrender is when
you give all of you into what you
believe in now what you believe in
doesn’t mean it’s coming from God it
just comes from where what your faith is
attached to you could have a belief that
came from your parents that came from
society it takes life and process to get
you to a place where you begin to
realize is this authentic to my truth
what I love about this and this message
is very brief West titled total
surrender what God responded to was
their surrender God recognized that when
you are totally surrendered to a thing
it’s already already accomplished when
God saw the city being built that was
something that already took place in the
spiritual realm you see your will has
power
family Jesus would say my will is to do
the will of the Father
he had completely given himself the
Bible tells us that he was obedient even
until death he said there is nothing
that will come against me following the
word of my father he made a decision and
we know it is a decision because we see
in the scripture Jesus getting tempted
and him saying no to temptation was his
choice but it was his choice that came
from a place of being rooted in the Word
of God when God solved their
determination and he saw their surrender
in the spiritual realm he realized
whatever they have surrendered to it
will manifest in the natural it hadn’t
even began but because they were of one
mind and one spirit God said whatever
they have put their mind to it already
is and so before the city was even built
for their own good he comes down and if
you read later on in the scripture but
that’s not what this message is about if
you read later on you will realize that
God had to do some you know how to
scatter them around because he
recognized that if you guys stay united
in this way nothing that you think to do
imagine to do decide to do would be
withheld from you
you see family surrender is what it is
is what waters the word the word is like
a seed your surrender is what gives it
life and the word could be a word from
God it could be your own word how many
times have we found ourselves successful
in the thing only to walk away from it
when we were successful in it we were
determined this is my goal this is my
vision and I’m going to accomplish it
and we got to the place of
accomplishment and we realize this is
not authentic to me you see the thing
about total surrenders about what I’m
talking about right now is about your
total surrender
God we’ve surrendered to a lot of things
in life and the word that the Lord gave
me is that when you make a decision you
see sometimes we’re expecting things to
be this come by I experienced God I say
yes to you and it’s this beautiful thing
one of my favorite people in the bible
is moses and i love the fact that moses
was a little hesitant when god
approached him and gave him a word about
his life i love that because it was it
was his authenticity there were things
that he needed to be affirmed and it
ends a relationship with God when Moses
says to God he says who do I – do I say
sent me what if that was a question he
was also asking for himself
who is sending me because if I’m not
sure of who sending me then either I can
be confident in my own strength because
I’ve tried that before and it failed me
and so I need to know who is sending me
when Moses was resistant to the Word of
God it was not because he was just
resisting and we’re looking at it like
Moses why are you doubting the Word of
God it was his truth in that moment god
I need to know more of you to say yes
yes it’s not something that starts in
your lips it starts in your hearts when
you give God your verbal yes you know
those moments in prayer where you say
God I give you all of me the truth about
the verbal yes yes really is really an
echo of your posture before God
a posture of surrender a posture of
humility you see the thing about a yes
to God is that what it cost you is what
we don’t easily like to give up Jesus
said something so fascinating
he said the peace that I give to you is
not the peace that the world gives and
what I love about that is then what is
the peace that the world gives what is
that is that the peace that allows us to
be comfortable in dysfunction you see
our pastor started our senior pastor
started this series called modern church
and for those if this is your first time
I encourage you to go on our YouTube
pages our podcast and listen to this
word because this word really shows us
who we are in different places of the
kingdom and on Sunday he talked about
the modern prophet and something that he
spoke about prophecy as an insight is
that you when you find yourself in the
place that you’re trying to discern God
what is your word and what is my like am
I am i tripping that I say that God did
you say that what challenges you to come
up higher would most likely be a word
from God you see the peace that the
world gives us the peace that tells you
nights all right to be petty it’s all
right to be prideful it’s all right to
walk in your ego it’s all right to be a
control freak it’s all right well you
see when God when Jesus says the peace I
give you and nothing that when something
comes from the Lord it cannot be taken
by man so when you find yourself in
places that you you start questioning
God I feel like my peace is being
challenged I feel like my peace is being
tampered with in the reality of life and
in the reality of the kingdom of heaven
the peace that comes from God cannot be
tampered with it is a piece that is
lasted it is almost like you saying
someone has the power to take away the
Holy Spirit from you no human has the
power to do that
and so when you find yourself in moments
where you’re like god I feel like my
piece is being tampered with what if
that is the piece the world has given
you what if that is the piece of you
saying you know what I just want to be
in control the piece that allows you to
dwell in a mediocre version of who you
really are
you see surrender to God means that you
surrender everything about you how you
see things how you see like how you see
people your mind your thoughts it means
that God even and when it seems dark and
it seems heavy Lord I say yes to you
there is a psalm if you’re taking any
notes write this down some 15 study this
all of it when you get the chance or
probably tonight after you weren’t sure
all right in the psalm
David poses a powerful question and he
says Lord who shall dwell on your holy
hill basically David is say Lord what is
the qu is the kind of man that and I
love the word dwell because that’s the
place you live and it’s not a visitation
as your habitation it’s the place where
you went even when I’m away like no
matter where I am in life I am standing
in the presence of God he says Lord who
shall dwell on your holy hill it’s like
saying Lord what is the kind of man that
is always in alignment with you that is
always in frequency with you and the
beautiful thing is that David responds
with the revelation of this very
question and I believe in verse 4 he
says now he’s describing the type of man
and he says something so powerful he
says the one who can swear to his own
hurt and does not change what that means
is that there is a commitment you’ve
made to God and even when it gets tough
you don’t change your posture you don’t
change your mind about what God said to
you he says this is the kind of man
was almost like the Lord revealed to him
there is something about the kind of man
or woman that recognizes that pain does
not stop your position that pain does
not remove you from your function that
who I’ve told you to be will always be
who you are you see you’re in this house
you’re listening online God has given
you a word and it may be a difficult
word it may be a hard word but all God
is saying if you make the decision to
surrender fully to it that already
guarantees the manifestation the time
it’s not your is not up to you the
season it happens it’s not up to you but
there is something about the person who
is not moved whose life is not based as
how they react to other people’s actions
their life is built on the Word of God
God you said this to me it seems like no
one has ever done it and as I approach
it I’m gonna be misunderstood their
things are gonna be said about me that
may not be true I’m gonna encounter
people that would make it difficult for
me to live in the reality of who you say
I am but I’m not going to allow outside
factors to stop me you see there was
something so beautiful about Moses there
was a moment God says to Moses Moses
come up to this mountain and die if you
read it it’s really fascinating God
tells him come up to the mountain and
die if you study the relationship with
Moses and God there were times that God
would want to strike the people the
Israelites and Moses would intercede for
them he would say Lord don’t do that
these are your people what would be said
of us but when God tells Moses come up
and die it was almost as though God was
looking to see are you gonna ask me to
also be patient with you because when
Moses went up to the mountain he
surrendered to the Word of God it wasn’t
really about Moses dying or anything
like that
Moses was at a point and he recognized I
will not stand in the way of the Word of
God being fulfilled and what this looks
like in our personal lives is that what
is it about you that could be standing
in the way of God’s promise manifesting
through you is it your pride is it your
ego what is it is that your need to be
right
is that your need to be comfortable is
that your need to be validated is that
the need to know everything about every
step of the way what is it in your flesh
that is causing you to stand in the way
of God’s Word being manifested through
you the scripture talks about dying
daily dying to the things that will
stand against us that God all I desire
is you I desire your word and the
beautiful thing family about the Word of
God the Word of God is not for God the
Word of God is for you
God is God whether it doesn’t matter
whether you do what he says well you
don’t do what he says he is God nothing
can add to him nothing can be taken away
from him and so when he releases a word
he’s releasing what he knew when he
formed you he’s releasing your
authenticity he’s releasing your truth
and what surrender does surrender brings
us a little higher surrender brings us
higher than the noise it brings us
higher than the things that we want to
dwell in and revel in surrender brings
us to the place where we recognize that
Jesus you have given me a piece and that
piece is in knowing that you are with me
that you will never leave nor forsake me
that even in my darkest days Lord you
and the light in
Oh No then Lord I am committed
wholeheartedly to every word you have
spoken because I recognize that your
word will not fail in my life and so
family it’s about surrender it’s about
making a decision surrender is the key
to manifestation in your life because
surrender reveals your faith it says God
I believe in you
I trust in you above what I see what I
hear what I even think I know because my
knowledge is only based on my exposure
and there are many things I’ve not been
exposed to about your power and your
works and so I want to rest upon you
lord
and so family it’s about surrender it’s
about surrender that’s it and the moment
everything in you aligns with that the
manifestation is guaranteed God looks at
your life and he sees it as done and
that is the place where we begin to say
as it is in heaven
may it be on the earth that is not a
prayer that comes from just this random
vague place when you are fully committed
to what God has said about your life all
of a sudden and the spiritual realm it
is so and that is the place where heaven
begins to back you up
it starts with your surrender the prayer
of as it is in heaven is not a vague or
empty prayer it’s a prayer that starts
from within that heaven has seen it
already God knows the word but there is
a difference when it has seen that wow
this person has already manifested this
thing now we need to make sure it
happens on the earth
Surrender it’s a decision it’s a
decision that’s it and the beauty of
this decision is that you are not doing
it in your own strength when God has
released the word he has released
everything that you would ever need
you’re not alone
it is not by your power it’s not by your
strength it’s by his spirit but your
will has to be one with that word then
God nothing nothing nothing there is
nothing there is no obstacle that will
stop me I’m making that decision and
that’s it family so if you know that
you’re in this house and you know there
are words that God has spoken over your
life and literally you felt that way you
felt like God I feel like my peace has
been troubled I feel like my peace the
peace the Lord gives you no human being
has the power to trouble it something
else might be troubled but not the peace
of God and so if that is you and you say
God I want to give you my total
surrender I just want you to stand with
me thank you Jesus
[Applause]
and maybe you’re here too and maybe you
don’t know the Lord and you were just
drawn to the house today and you say God
I want to surrender to your lordship
Lord Jesus I want to know you I want to
know your voice I want you to also stand
and you may be standing already and I
want us to pray Lord we thank you
[Music]
we thank you for who you are we thank
you Oh God because you know each and
every one of us by name you saw this day
before it ever became you’ve seen all
our days Oh God
you love us you guide us through it all
Lord we are gonna trust you with
everything we recognize Lord God that
you will not speak a word for the word
to fail we recognize Oh God that there
will be storms in life but even in the
midst of our storms even in the midst of
our fears and our doubts and our worries
Lord that may we do it in your hands not
outside of you because when we are in
your hands Oh God we would be rest
assured that it is your word that would
prevail over our lives Lord we recognize
your love for us we recognize that you
will never leave nor forsake us
that yes life will bring us in some
tunnels but you are the light in the
tunnel Lord we have surrendered two
things only to recognize that it was not
speaking to our truth you have released
words over our lives and we’ve been
wrestling lord I feel like there are
people there are circumstances there are
tampering with my peace but I recognize
now Lord that nothing can take away what
you have given me
[Music]
and so Lord I made the decision to come
a little higher to rise higher than my
need to be right to rise higher than my
needs to be validated rise higher than
anything that can ever stand in the way
of manifesting what you have said I
[Music]
recognized Oh Lord that we are in
partnership together that I am NOT in
this by myself and so father God as we
stand before you we say Lord we are
making a decision I have decided to
follow Jesus
no turning back I have decided
to follow your word no matter the cost
Lord as we worship open our eyes to more
of who you are that every question of
our hearts that caused us to be
resistant
Lord that we would see you in your glory
and recognize that you are all we would
ever need
and you are all that we could ever ask
for and so lord have your way Lord there
are some that are saying Lord I want to
commit my life to you I want to have a
relationship with you and I want to hear
your voice you already know them by name
and it’s because you’ve called them by
name that they are putting their hands
up before you saying God have your way
in and through me and so lord I thank
you for that life I thank you for those
who are saying god I want to know you
because you already dwell in their
hearts and so Lord seal what we have
received today and may we recognize
that when we put our will in your hands
that is power
emotions will not make us change our
mind but it is the Word of God that we
will stand on
in Jesus mighty name
[Music]
