you’re here enjoy
praise God family I am so excited to be
with you on this Sunday and I’m just so
touched by what our pastor was able to
share with you all you know I it just
takes me back honestly to the start of
the year and one of the words that God
gave me about what this year would
represent not even in a personal way but
corporately was about embracing the
shift and look at where we are today we
are seeing how God is Shifting things
but the beauty of it is that we see the
hand of God we see the goodness of God
we see the faithfulness of God in L.A in
Dallas what we’re seeing is God
multiplying his impact because at the
end of the day everything we do we do it
unto the glory of God and so no matter
what you what what you get no matter who
you see you’re not just seeing a person
you’re not here because you’re you’re
looking at me or you want to hear the
words I have to say you’re here because
you know that the the anointing of God
flows through this house and you that
anyone that has been race to step on
this stage is going to be surrender to
what God has to say and I’m just excited
family I’m excited about the
possibilities that comes when there is a
shift when there is a shift that God has
ordained and even today even as we step
into the message we’re going to talk
about that a bit more you know because a
lot of times even when you when you hear
about things shifting you know if you’re
looking at it from a Physical Realm then
it could leave you wondering and left
with uncertainty but we’re going to talk
about this from a spiritual realm you
see as you’re taking notes my message
today is walk with me and we are going
to go on a journey but I want to kick
off with a scripture and we’re going to
pray you see Genesis 6 9 it says this
these are the generations of Noah Noah
was a righteous man blameless in his
generation Noah walked with God Heavenly
Father we thank you
we thank you for what you’re doing in
our Movement we thank you for what
you’re doing in L.A we thank you for
what you’re doing in Dallas we thank you
Lord for what you’re doing right now we
thank you Lord for what you have always
purposed to do even before time that we
are seen being manifested in time and so
heavenly father I pray that as this word
Goes Forth I Surrender myself as your
vessel and I pray heavenly father that
we would receive that mandate that
unction to walk with you in Jesus mighty
name amen amen you see family I want to
take you on a journey
you know many times I’ve shared just
some of my story in how I got to one and
how you know the Lord called me into
Ministry but I want to take us on a walk
down memory lane for just you know just
a little bit because I think this moment
really requires that
you see I remember you know as a kid I
encountered the Lord right I encountered
the Lord at nine years old and when I
encountered the Lord it was in such a
supernatural way and I guess it hasn’t
been anything you know short of
Supernatural ever since then but at nine
years old I had the advantage of being a
child
and so even in knowing that I’m a kid it
was easy to embrace being a child of God
it was easy to embrace coming to God in
a childlike manner my I believe for
things that I knew I had no ability to
do because I wasn’t looking for strength
in myself I was looking at the strength
in my father
you know I remember one of the even in
my early teenagers I used to play
basketball when I was in high school and
there was a time that my appendix
was so swollen they needed to do surgery
but I had embraced this childlike nature
it wasn’t even a second thought that oh
my gosh I didn’t get scared you know I
mean when I felt the pain because I was
I remember we were playing basketball
one time I you know I was trying to do
this you know little um alley you know
jump and whatnot but and I felt this
sharp pain and I’m like what is that
right and so obviously we had to go to
the hospital and all that stuff but when
I found out when the doctors told me you
know told my mom and you know obviously
I heard what was going on there was no
fear in me
that that still amazes me even when I
think back on it there was absolutely no
fear because I was like well my dad
could take care of this
so they gave medication they gave all
that stuff they were like hey take this
you know and then come in they scheduled
the day for the surgery I literally I
went home I threw all the meds into the
into the toilet and flushed it and I’m
like no my dad is going to take care of
this and I literally in at home I was
like Dad this is what the doctors are
saying but I need you to step in I need
you to fix this because I don’t want to
do surgery
and it was so like there was it was just
pure faith and it was that faith of a
child that was not looking for strength
in herself but she was looking at the
strength in her father
you see I encountered the Lord first as
father before I knew him as Savior and I
thank God I did because I think as a
child I really just needed to know the
love of a father
and the beauty family is that before God
even calls you to to to be you know to
be a servant in any way he first calls
you a son
he calls you a daughter so you recognize
that everything you do for God flows
from this place of love from intimacy
but I’m sharing this because as a child
I had the advantage of being a child
so my Approach To God was very childlike
anything he said I should do I did you
know going back to my appendix that that
was healed miraculously and it wasn’t
even a shock to me I was like I knew my
dad would do this
then the older you get
you start being consumed about life and
what everyone else is doing and their
expectations of you that somehow you
begin to dull that voice that has been
leading you you begin to mute that voice
when it’s telling you to do something
that is not the status quo and he’s
telling you to do something that your
friends are going to say oh that’s lame
and that’s not cool and you’re like no
God I just want to I want to go this
route instead
so in my early 20s I found myself in
that place
I found myself in the place where I
didn’t feel like God I don’t I don’t
feel like I’m walking with you
I feel like you’re far from me and not
not that you’re absent but something
feels different
it doesn’t feel like what it felt like
when I was a kid literally
and when I say Walking with God it’s not
even just a feeling it was a knowing
because when you are walking with God
there is a knowing of safety there is a
knowing of protection there is a knowing
that he’s got you that even in the
darkness that he is the light that will
see you through there was a knowing that
you there’s a knowing of his peace in
your presence
there is a knowing that God no matter
where I might find myself I’m good
and it doesn’t mean that sometimes you
may not have uncertainty here and there
but even in the midst of the uncertainty
the word of God will illuminate the lies
of the enemy
and so I found myself in a space
that I didn’t really feel safe
internally spiritually something felt
off
externally everything looked great you
would think I was living my best life
but internally
something wasn’t right
and so I began to take some time I said
Lord I’m going to seek you I’m going to
take some time and fasting and in prayer
and to seek you now the word of God says
something so beautiful family it says
that God is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek him
and what I love about that is that God
rewards those you see to reward is that
he gives you what you’re seeking for now
this does not mean that you can come
before the presence of God and just ask
for anything and he gives it to you but
the key word there is also diligently
because when you are diligent in what
you’re seeking God for the Holy Spirit
partners with you and begins to remove
the weeds of your request
because you see sometimes what your
spirit is hungry for
can be clouded by what your soul is
lusting for
and so when you are diligent and seeking
God that speaks of your persistence that
speaks of your consistency in getting
before the face of God God I need
clarity
in your diligence the Holy Spirit
partners with you and he begins to clean
out the request he gets to the heart of
what your your spirit is longing for
that is why you know for some of you
when you start a fast you might start a
fast and you’re praying that God I just
need a promotion that and that is what
you that was your intention going into
the fast god I need a promotion at my
work and at the end of the fast you’re
saying God help me to be more of a
blessing to the people I see what
changed between the beginning of the
Fest and the end of the fast it was your
diligence because in that diligence the
holy spirit says what you’re asking for
is not really a promotion
and he begins to remove the weeds of the
request and so when I began fasting and
praying initially
I was like God you know I I just I need
you here I need your presence something
feels off where are you I just need to
know that you are with me in everything
I’m doing
and then as I was approaching the end of
this fast and I was in prayer
the prayer request started changing
God who am I
what do you require of me who am I
supposed to be in this season what is it
that you have called me to do
you see the prayer requests changed from
a place of saying God Walk With Me
versus God I want to walk with you
what have you called what have you
ordained me to do in this season of my
life I want to be in alignment with you
you see the Bible doesn’t say that God
walked with Noah but that Noah walked
with the Lord
and as I began to say that as I began to
seek the Lord about that he rewarded
with an answer
and that was when the Lord now gave me
that instruction and he said you know
what I want you to walk away from
everything I want you to walk away from
the business that was thriving I want
you to walk away from everything and
move to at that time it was in downtown
Los Angeles and I’m like God what is in
downtown Los Angeles
but I did right there was some wisdom in
the move because I was able to add some
savings that would carry me through you
know some months I didn’t know how long
what was going to happen what it was
going to take but I moved
I moved in that obedience I said God I’m
after whatever it is you know about me I
want that
and so when the move
you know family is asking all kinds of
questions they’re like Stephanie what
are you doing did you leave the business
like what are you doing have you are you
okay
especially coming from a Nigerian family
it’s like there is no when you do things
like that they just label it as are you
trying to embrace laziness we don’t do
that in this house
so there was a lot of friction from my
family because it did not make sense and
then on top of that then the Lord now
leads me to this house one day it was on
a Sunday and he said I’m going to show
you where you need to go
and I came to this house and I remember
walking through those doors
the Lord said so clearly
in this place
I would raise you up as a minister of
the Gospel
and when I heard that
it it it felt known and foreign all at
the same time
when I heard that I I felt like I was
hearing an identity of myself being
revealed but also foreign all at the
same time because I’m like there’s no
history of this with me
have you ever felt like that
when God gives you a word that feels
familiar to you and foreign all at the
same time
because when it’s communicated to you it
jumps in your spirit
that there is something about this word
that speaks to the like the depths of
who God has called me to be the depths
of who he formed me to be but at the
same time this is foreign to my history
this is foreign to my life
because you see family to walk with the
Lord is to walk with truth
and when you walk with truth truth is
not always truth has to be revealed
because truth is first received before
it is revealed
when you think about Jesus who is the
way the truth and the life Jesus had to
be received in order to be revealed
through the people in order for people
to testify of his goodness in order for
the power of God to be revealed he had
to be received
that’s why the last time I was with you
I talked about how the one thing that
caused Jesus to not move in the manner
that he desired to was a lack of honor
the people did not receive him as Christ
and so he could not be revealed as the
Christ
they could not receive him as a Healer
so he could not manifest himself in that
way so the truth always has to be first
received before it is revealed
and what does that look like it is what
the Bible talks about that God has
placed eternity in our hearts
when God gives you a word that
administers to you because it speaks to
what has always been in your heart and
it needed something to activate it and
you begin to recognize wait this is
actually who I am
this is connected to me in some way that
I don’t even know but God I’m going to
trust you as I walk this out
and when you receive truth there are
instructions that follow
in order for it to be revealed in time
you see in the moment that the Lord said
I’m going to raise you as a minister of
the Gospel what was happening is that I
was receiving truth
it took some time before that was
revealed to the public but it first had
to be received
you see when God is giving you a truth
about you
receive it and it looks like the season
of preparation
when God begins to instruct you to do
things that it makes no sense to those
around you because you’re walking in a
truth that has not even been revealed to
them
you’re walking in something that nobody
understands that this is actually who
you are and what you carry you’re
walking in something that although
Heaven has always known Society
is blind to
and so in that moment the instructions
of the Lord was literally and remember
this was through a dream and he showed
me I want you to serve as an usher in
this time
and he said I want you you know ushers
in the church you know you’re passing
out you know baskets tissue anything
that the people need greeting people you
are the people’s people right that’s how
I look at it the ushers are the people’s
people you serve in any capacity
whatever needs to be done you could
carry your baby if you have to right
and so that was the instruction and I
remember he said you know what for the
first year never miss a service I want
you to keep showing up as I’m saying
that some of you are listening to this
right now and there’s some odd
instructions that God has given you
and you cannot look around for
validation of the word you have to
recall what happened in your heart when
you received it because it minister to
you as this is connected this is out
Awakening it is activating something
that has always been known even though
it is yet still foreign to me but I’m
gonna work out what God has said
and so I did that I was serving as an
usher
and then I remember two particular
moments that were so just Monumental to
me
there was a particular day the night
before our pastor just came up with a
book purpose Awakening and he was having
a book signing the next day which would
be a Sunday the night before I remember
having a dream and he signed a copy of
the book and in the dream he said keep
moving forward
and when I opened the book The Words
moving forward jumped it’s like you know
when a word just comes alive to you and
the Lord began to minister through that
and he said you’re going to write a book
called moving forward
and I was like oh wait Lord I am in the
most stagnant season of my life you want
me to do what but eventually I did write
the book moving forward but the next day
you know I come to church and I’ll pass
this having the book signing and after
the book’s signing I remember the holy
spirit says I want you to now share with
him the dream that you had so at the end
of the book signing I approached PT and
I was like Peter can I talk to you and
he said the first three words that came
out of his mouth was walk with me that
was a very simple thing because he was
literally walking and he just said no
walk with me but those words jumped at
me
and me and I didn’t really search it out
like why did this have such an impact in
me and it was so simple walk with me
then you know you fast forward I
remember the very first time I had a
conversation with our first lady Pastor
Sarah
literally I remember she was going up
the stairs and I knew that I was like
okay she had moved you know at the time
from Dallas to L.A and I’m like you know
what whatever she needs I just felt in
my heart like I just want to serve in
any capacity whatever she might need I
was still a an usher at this time and so
I approached her and I was like you know
first lady can I speak to you and she
said walk with me the same three words
walk with me and it jumped at me again
and I remember heading home and I said
God why am I so convicted by these words
walk with me
and the Lord began to speak
and the Lord began to show me
that I have called you to walk alongside
them in Ministry
and there are others that are being
pulled together because there is a time
that is coming that I will cause a shift
and have a need for them elsewhere
I didn’t speak about this I don’t even I
think honestly maybe there’s one key
person I can say I’ve shared this with
and this is one of my best friends
Fatima because at the time we would
always talk with one another and just
share the things that God is speaking to
us about so we can keep it in prayer but
there are things that they’re words that
when God gives you you can’t just talk
about it casually because it ha it makes
no sense in the time you’re in
and I was like Lord
what does that mean that there is
something there is a truth that is yet
to be revealed but it is a truth in the
Kingdom
that there will be a time that there
will be a shift required
and he said this is the assignment
because as you walk with them you are
walking with me in obedience
we fast forward to today
and we hear the words that our pastor
shared
about what has taken place in L.A and in
Dallas
and I am so moved
by the consistency
and the faithfulness of God
because you see family
this has always been known
it was just not yet revealed
it has always been marked by the kingdom
what is required to happen
in the right season and in the right
timing it has always been known
the evidence that I’m even on this stage
should even speak that
I walked in here not knowing a single
person when I came to this church
I had a truth that was received but not
revealed
and in Walking with the Lord in
obedience to the Lord it began to be
revealed in the right timing
you see I share this story with you
because you being connected to this
house
I have the same question for you
what are you or who are you walking with
in your life
one I want to give you the assurance
that when you are walking with God
that you should that never have a fear
of God will your promises come to pass
what the things that you have said would
it would it be revealed because you see
family there are moments that bring you
into a deeper fear of the Lord
because you recognize that the kingdom
of God really functions like a kingdom
that there are things that God has
ordained and purposed to happen and all
we are called to be is obedient to that
call
oh we are called to do is say Lord I am
willing and to come in a childlike
Manner and say God I’m going to trust
however you’re going to do this thing
you see one of the greatest things that
I have learned from my pastors is
radical obedience to the Lord because it
would always have a great harvest
and the moment it could feel daunting
and the moment it could feel like God
what are you doing and the moment it
could feel like God this the the this
that I’m scared you could even share
exactly how you feel like God I I don’t
I don’t know if I could do this
but then you are reminded who you are
doing it with and who is doing it
through you
you are reminded that I am I did not
just show up with this plan but it has
always been in the mind of God
and I am walking with him to play it out
and what excites me about this family
is that when the hand of God is in a
thing
you can only see the fruit of his Spirit
through it
there’s going to be Great Harvest
in Los Angeles there’s going to be great
harvest in Dallas and the reason being
is that we are walking with God
we are not here to walk according to the
Applause of man
we are now here to walk according to the
expectations of society a culture but to
walk with God
you see I was so intrigued by one of the
things that that word walk meant
one of the translations even in Hebrew
because it spoke to being weak
is it isn’t that so interesting that to
walk with God
is to be weak
with God
but not that God is weak but that you
are embracing your weakness in order to
be in alignment with him
and I began to think about Noah
he said let’s go back to that scripture
right
in Genesis 6 9 it says Noah was a
righteous man
blameless in his generation
Noah walked to a god
Noah was blameless in his generation
when you’re reading it it sounds sexy
Noah was blameless
but when you’re living it it’s not it’s
it’s actually you know it could be very
disheartening
because to be blameless in his
generation
if there was no one else like Noah in
his time
did that meant Noah was really the odd
one out
you see especially in the times that
we’re living
you know in a social media age
where we get dopamine highs based on who
liked what that you what you know who
shared what and there’s insights from
every social every social media channel
and then you’re looking at how many
people share that how many people
commented how many people liked it we’re
being fed by the validation from people
Noah was a man that was not living out
his lust but he was living out the truth
of God’s word Noah was a man that said
I’m not just going to fall for anything
I’m going to stand for something I’m
Gonna Stand For Truth
if you think about Noah in this times he
literally embraced the identity of one
who says look culture you can cancel me
if you want but I will stand for truth
I’m not choosing to be like everybody
else
I’m choosing to be in alignment with
what God knows about me Noah was
blameless before all in his generation
now can we look at our lives and begin
to ask ourselves what do we stand for
because it is from this posture that we
now hear Noah walked with God
because in Noah standing for truth
and Noah saying I’m not going to be like
everyone else can you imagine how he was
scrutinized can you imagine first of all
Noah building an ark
for a flood when they have never seen
rain
talk about the truth being revealed be
being received before it’s revealed
he is literally building something
for a scenario that has never even been
seen before never been heard before
but it was in his heart
he knew what the Lord has spoken to him
he knew the encounters that he he had
with the Lord and the ones that worked
still to come
that will give him Direction about what
is going to happen because it has
already been written in heaven
Noah had to embrace being the odd one
out
but what I learned about Noah when I
read this about him
is that Noah also embraced being weak
he embraced the fact that God
I have to my strength is not in me
but it is in you
when the neighbors are laughing at me
when they’re making fun of me like look
at this crazy man probably talking to
his kids talking to his wife like he has
literally lost his mind He is building
you see the Bible says that though the
times were so evil
so if you want to think about
petticulture I mean think about that
times a hundred about what the people
were saying to Noah how they mocked him
how they made fun of him but Noah
embraced being weak he embraced being
foolish before the eyes of men because
what they didn’t understand is that the
word of God says that God would use what
is considered as the foolish thing to
the world to confound the wise he said
what you think is foolish is what I
would use to reveal my glory
and it made me wonder
could it be
that the reason that Noah was the only
one in his generation
that was known to be blameless and known
to walk with God
was actually because
Noah was the only one willing to embrace
his weakness
how many times have we found ourselves
there
when you’re only willing
to do the things that you have
strengthened
when you’re only willing to do the
things that you have Security in
you have comfort in
when you’re asking God lord meet me in
the place of my comfort
in the place of my security I don’t want
to go where I don’t know anyone
I want to be around the place that I
have control
I know how to work this thing
could it be that Noah
was really the only one
willing to embrace perpetually being a
child
that Noah was the only one willing to
embrace being a student all the days of
his life
that he was not just saying that hey I’m
only comfortable when I get I’m the one
who is the teacher or I’m only
comfortable when you know I know how
this works no I had never seen rain
I don’t even think no I could imagine
what a flood could look like
the Bible actually talks about Noah was
building literally according to a vision
that God showed him
because the Bible says Noah that God
told Noah Noah build the ark according
to the pattern that I will show you Noah
did not even know what an ark looked
like
but he was willing to embrace weakness
he was willing to say God
I have no clue
I I don’t even know what a finished Arc
looks like
I don’t even know what rain looks like
I don’t even know what it means
for us to have a flood
but I trust you
and I’m Gonna Be A Child In This Moment
because you see when you tell a child a
story an imagination
they don’t even know what it looks like
I mean hello Santa Claus
the tooth fairy now we’ve made movies
about them so we try to give them some
some you know some imagery but spoiler
alert if you have children around you
just you know cover their ears in this
moment
because we tell them stories
that we have never even seen we know
anything we know that it doesn’t exist
but we tell them stories and their
imagination is awakened and they’re so
excited they can’t wait they’re like
Mommy what do we do yeah and you’re like
oh you know what put some cookies and
some milk downstairs and go to bed
you see that’s why I knew you know we
could not have Santa in Nigeria because
I would be awake
I will be making more cookies waiting
for Santa to come and eat this cookie
like Santa I laid out all these cookies
out here for you where you at Santa
right
so what I’m sharing with you is that
Noah embraced weakness
and family if your obedience for God
does not bring you to a place of
weakness that I want you to question who
am I actually being obedient to
if I have everything all figured out
if the very thing I believe I’m doing
for God has me strong it is it is
actually revealing my strength then who
am I really being obedient to
because there will be Seasons where God
will bring you back into being a child
again
there will be times that he will call
you out to do things that have always
been known to him but is yet to be
revealed to the world
is even as I was in prayer concerning
this
the Lord just began to minister to me
about where we all are
and what is happening in this season of
Our Lives
we have to be people that stand
for the truth of what we have come to
know about God
what he has put in our hearts to do you
may have never seen it you don’t even
have a reference for it but maybe God
gave you a vision
God gave you an instruction
and as you do the thing the now thing he
will lead you to the next day
you see your strength no true strength
is found in self
because what you find in yourself is
limited to what you have known
the things that you have already
conquered
but true strength is found in God
when you recognize that God I’m going to
lean on you
I’m gonna trust in you I’m gonna walk
with you
you see because walking with God’s
family it’s humility it’s surrender I
actually even want to read you know in
second Corinthians from
um chapter 12 verse 9 to 10 this was the
Apostle Paul speaking
now Apostle Paul you know some backstory
about him you know in the beginning he
did not really know the Lord he was
actually persecuting Christians he would
give the order for Christians to be
killed because he believed that was the
right thing that you know the right
thing to do
and then all of a sudden he encounters
God
and there’s such a supernatural way you
know at first he goes blind you know and
the Lord speaks to him that why are you
persecuting me right and he has this
incredible encounter with the Lord
and out of that encounter you know
obviously he regains his sight he
recognizes that God has called him to
actually Minister the gospel
and to lead many into the faith
now this was such a posture of weakness
because the Apostle Paul
was known
to literally I mean not in a direct way
but he was executing Christians and now
you’re saying you are now speaking life
into them and you want to speak to the
world about Jesus even as a Believer
people still feared him because they’re
like we don’t really know his intentions
right now
it wasn’t him walking with the Lord
was to embrace his weakness
Lord I thought I knew the truth but I
didn’t
and I’ve been known to be something that
your word has called me out of
now I’m walking in what you’ve always
known about me so you know there was a
time that the Apostle Paul began praying
to the Lord about a thorn in his flesh
the Bible doesn’t identify what that
thorn is
but he was asking the Lord you know what
can you deliver me from this Thorn
several times he asked the Lord deliver
me from this Stone I believe it was
three times
and I’m about to read what the Lord
responds saying and even as I read this
what I love so much about the Lord is
that he he didn’t respond in the way
that you would think oh yes I got you
you know what here it’s all gone
because our life is not meant to come
from our strength
if the Lord removed the thorn then the
Apostle Paul would feel like okay all
right I got this I’m good now Lord but
hear what the Lord says
but he God said to me which is the
Apostle Paul my grace is sufficient for
you now what is the grace of God the
empowerment of the Holy Spirit
and this empowerment comes when you are
connected to the Holy Spirit he says my
grace is sufficient for you as long as
you stay connected to me Paul you’re
going to be all right
he says for my power is made perfect in
weakness therefore I will boast more
gladly of my weakness now this is the
Apostle Paul speaking he says therefore
I would actually boast more gladly of my
weakness so that the power of Christ May
rest upon me for the sake of Christ then
I am content with weakness
insults hardships persecutions and
calamities
for when I am weak then I am strong
have we limited our Yes to God
because we are looking for strength
rather than embracing our weakness
have we set
just misaligned parameters to our yes
because we’re waiting for God to give us
the word that excites us that we’re like
oh God I’m good at that oh say less God
say less
or are we willing to embrace
what actually brings our weakness to the
surface
that we can surrender and lean on the
power of the holy spirit to guide us
through
family this is a time in our community
this is a season
when the Lord is saying walk with me
don’t walk with your expectations of
what life should be
don’t walk with how the people applaud
you
don’t walk with any of that don’t walk
with culture don’t walk with Society
walk with the Lord
listen when he calls on you
answer
when he says I have need for you in a
place
move on it when he tells you to build
what you have never seen begin to lay
the foundation
and begin to ask the lord lord how would
you have me do this
partner with the Holy Spirit
in everything that concerns your life
partner with God because if you’re
reliant on strength you have not seen
anything close to harvest
but when you put that Reliance on the
strength of God not what you have the
ability to do
but how God is leading you you see when
I was praying for you the Lord began to
show me that for many of you he’s he’s
even leading you things are also very
practical
and in your mind you’re like it’s just
not the time God I want to do this later
you know some of you is calling to
invest in in I just kept seeing several
types of Investments one was property
one was certain businesses and you don’t
even have you’re trying to do it based
on your timing and God is like I’ve
already seen when this would have a
harvest for you to use for certain
things that I will call you to do
there was one particular thing that
really was intriguing to me and I know I
have to say this because even even when
I saw it I’m like truly this has not
been revealed I don’t know what kind of
show that would be but the Lord even
showed me that there’s someone listening
to this message
and you are there is a there is a
there’s an idea for an animation
that it has to do with roaches is this
first of all I mean even me saying this
is like I do not like bugs right the
closest movie to bugs and bees a bug
life that I could stand but literally
the Lord showed me this animation and it
had to do with roaches
but he’s given you the vision for it
and even though you have received it
you’re not moving on it because you
don’t understand how this applies to
anything
but you see when you move on what God
says it is preparation not just for you
but the things that are called to you
that when it’s revealed everything is
set in motion
I don’t know what God has called you to
walk in in this season
I don’t know the instructions that he
has given you
but what I’m here to do is to charge you
to walk with God
to walk with the Lord
don’t be in your mess asking God to
bless it
don’t be in the place of your comfort
asking God to meet you there
you see we we have a habit you know for
one of the things I believe in that I
have most likely said this in the past
Jesus knows how to meet you anywhere
but he’s not going to skip you there so
you can’t even expect for him to stay in
the place that he knows is beneath you
and so you can’t just stay in the place
of comfort
and just say God well you know what I
just want you to bless here meet me here
and we’ve made it a habit then we get
mad at God when something doesn’t work
and we’re like God how could you but you
never consulted him in the beginning you
just asked him to meet you in the place
of comfort
rather than actually being diligent in
what you’re seeking in him so you can
actually find out what is it that my
soul what is it that my spirit is really
after
because what gave us life is his breath
and what keeps us in the Rhythm of Life
what gives us the sense of being alive
is walking in his purpose it is walking
with him
that’s why even the the there’s the
series Walking Dead but I think that is
reality
because many times when you are outside
of the very thing God has called you to
do it’s like a Walking Dead
you’re there but you’re not there it’s
like a shell of you
and then when you encounter God
everything just it’s almost like there’s
color in a black and white room
that you’ve been living in this world
that is black and white and your
encounter with the Lord and your
willingness to say yes to the things
that seem hard all of a sudden gives
color
where it was once dull
and so first of all I want to say to you
if you do not know the Lord
that is where we begin
everything all of creation
everything known and unknown scene and
yet to be seen everything was formed by
his word
he is the beginning he is everything in
between we call him the Alpha and Omega
the beginning and the end and everything
in between
if you do not know the Lord that is
where it starts
it is being connected to the source of
your life
not knowing the Lord can you imagine
having an electronic device
and if the electronic device runs out of
battery and it dies on you it doesn’t
mean it’s broken
if you’re touching an electronic device
that is out of battery
and because it’s not responding to you
does not communicate that it’s broken it
doesn’t mean it’s not functioning all it
needs to do is to get plugged into a
source
and it’s the right cable
and it needs a charge
but if you look at it and you’re like
it’s not responding to me it’s not
responding to me what is wrong with this
thing and you deem it broken
[Music]
you miss out on the fact that this is a
perfectly good electronic
device it just needs to be plugged in
life outside of Jesus
is like
an electronic device without a charge
and deemed useless
not recognizing all it needed was to be
connected
to a source
if you don’t know the Lord
maybe you’re watching this just because
you’re looking for something to give you
some type of inspiration or high for the
day to keep you going into another day
that is not how it works in the Kingdom
we’re not just trying to get by into
another day
we live with an assurance we live with a
certainty we live with a confidence
that God is with me God got me and
whatever I’ve been called to do
with the time that my life is not in the
hands of whatever might be happening in
the world my life is in the hands of God
you live with a sense of clarity a sense
of purpose you live with peace
Jesus says that the peace that I give
you the world cannot give you
it is a peace that surpasses all
understanding
that when everything in in in life seems
to be going haywire you are at peace
within yourself why it is because of
that presence
of the Prince of Peace himself
if you don’t know Jesus it starts there
nothing I’m saying matters if you don’t
start there
because that awakens you to the truth
that awakens you to the reality of who
you really are you haven’t met you yet
there are things about you that even
even things that you have done certain
instructions God has given you you don’t
even know what is about to be revealed
until it’s time
but I want to First speak to those that
want to know Jesus
and I want to accept them as their lord
and savior if that is you right now in
the chat I just want you to put
Jesus that’s me
Jesus that’s me
you want to accept the Lord as your
personal Lord and Savior we’re going to
pray
now if you’re listening to this message
and you are convicted
by what you have given your yes to
and how you he you know you you you
almost like the way you give your yes
right the the conditions for your yes
and if you know that I was speaking to
you
that your yes has become based on where
your strength is realized where your
strength is discovered where your
strength is revealed but God is
requiring a yes from you
that is calling you to be weak
it’s calling you to be a child again
it’s saying that hey people might not
get it
some people might not even it hasn’t
come into their hearts the way it came
into yours
people might scrutinize you but that’s
why you also have to have discernment in
who you share what with
now above anything definitely weigh out
the word to know that it came from the
Lord but when you have Clarity that this
instruction came from the Lord
and the only reason that it scares you
is because it reveals your weakness that
is how God operates
because to walk with him is to be weak
it is to say God you’re calling me into
a space that I do not know about
even though it’s known to me
spiritually it is foreign to me
naturally
I don’t have the resources
I don’t have the the right relationships
I don’t I don’t even have the education
for this
[Music]
but look at the beauty of God
the holy spirit is everything
when you read the Old Testament you
would even learn how the Holy Spirit
gave people the wisdom to be Builders
the wisdom and the skill set to build
they never knew what that looked like
however God is going to move you in this
season because you see family the oil
flows the Bible talks about how the oil
flows from the head down
what you see God doing with our senior
pastors with Pastor Toure with Pastor
sir Jax Roberts is what is happening
through this movement
there are some hard yeses that we’re
called to give there’s shifts happening
it is received before it’s revealed
and the instruction God has given you is
to prepare you for when it will be
revealed
and if you know that you needed that
word
just put in the chat that’s me that’s me
you see that is literally me
as well
because sometimes when you find yourself
as a child again
it’s an interesting place to be
especially when in the natural you’re
used to adults and you’re like God I pay
bills okay I pay taxes you know I should
have a say in this matter
but God
does his best work
when we come before him like a child
God does his best work when we embrace
our weakness I’m not talking about
embracing your weakness to live from it
no no no just like God said to Paul my
grace is sufficient for you Paul what
does that mean as long as you’re
connected to me that is where you find
strength
it is a place that brings us to a deeper
level of reverence for God a deeper
level of surrender to the Holy Spirit
we’re not just living out you know in
foolish Behavior because there is
someone we answer to we’re not living
life for the Applause of people but to
know that the father is pleased with us
this is what Walking with God is about
and so I want to pray for you
I want to pray that as the Lord is
giving us this unction this call to walk
with him that we are saying yes
and family is going to be amazing
because anything the hand of God is on
is connected to Great Harvest
Great Harvest for the kingdom Great
Harvest for the communities Great
Harvest for our cities Great Harvest
globally it is connected to Great
Harvest the safest place to be in is in
the will of God the most fruitful place
to be in is in the will of God anything
that you could think of that is a good
thing is found in the will of God
but we have to be patient and we have to
trust him
and we have to follow him heavenly
father I thank you
I thank you Lord for your love for us I
thank you love for your goodness I thank
you Lord that you are a god
who holds times and seasons in your hand
they belong to you
everything that we see is literally just
an unfolding of what you have always
known
even now I’m thinking about all the
craziness happening in our world but
this is also an unfolding a revealing of
the truth that we even find in the Book
of Revelations
Heavenly Father
we come before you
to say God whatever you will call us to
do
whatever you would have us do we say yes
if it means that we’re gonna be a child
all over again
then we say yes
with joy Lord God because we don’t only
want to do the things that we find
ourselves we find our strength in but we
want to see your strength revealed
through our lives
and so Lord I pray that you would have
your way with us wherever you are
I want you to just if you can just lift
your hands up maybe you can only lift
one up whatever it is
but I just want you to lift your hands
up before the Lord as a posture of
surrender
God we surrender
we’re not trying to do this thing called
life through the lens of our own wisdom
or our understanding
but we want to do it by your strength
and by your empowerment so God have your
way and Lord I pray for those who are
saying yes to Jesus in this moment to
receive him
to know you in spirit and in truth
I thank you Jesus
that on the cross
the cross didn’t take your life but on
the cross you actually put to death sin
and everything that is attached to which
shame and and all of his negativity you
put that to death
you took anything that could keep us
captive and you’d put it in captivity
I thank you Lord that in you they will
find Freedom
in you the very things that they have
struggled with for many years of their
life they would find breakthrough
because Lord your grace is sufficient
and I thank you that as they say yes to
you
and yes to you alone in this manner
to see you in your rightful place and to
reverence you as holy
that Lord you would have encounters with
them
you would reveal yourself to them
and I thank you Lord Jesus
because we are welcoming them into the
family we are welcoming them into the
journey that is literally starts with
the best decision they could ever make
in their life and that is to know you
and so family
I am excited for what God is doing in
your life I am excited for your decision
your yes today to say Jesus Come into my
heart
and make my heart your home and wherever
you are I just want you to repeat that
after me Lord Jesus
I believe
that you are the son of God
come into my heart
and make my heart
your home
I believe
that on the cross
you put my sins to death
and when you Rose up
I rose up with you
with victory
with power
with identity
with love
knowing that I am in
family of God
hallelujah
hallelujah family I’m so grateful for
what God is doing right now
wherever you are I’m just so grateful
because I know that the holy spirit is
making himself so evident in your life
and family as a community we are going
to thrive
because God is with us
and so we love you and we’re so we’re I
mean honestly this is going to be some
exciting times
and so family buckle up
we love you God bless you
