hey family god bless you happy sunday to

you man worship is incredible god is on

the move in so many different ways i’m

just glad to be in the kingdom and i

know that you are as well we’re getting

ready to get into the word and i’ve got

a special word for you today

as you know

february 18th and 19th we had the call

to pioneer experience it was amazing the

testimonies are still rolling in about

life changing impartations

wisdom inside we even had two people

receive 5 000 scholarships to sow into

their business it was just absolutely

crazy and

because it went so well i wanted to

bring to you a little bit of the called

experience so today’s sermon is going to

be what’s your why and it was from the

first night

of the call to pioneer experience it’s

going to bless you

check it out i’ll see you at the end

you know what

what’s crazy about

that message

was that was you may be seated god bless

you

let’s shout out one more time those are

watching via live stream we love you god

bless you

we’re going to have a time tonight

and all day tomorrow

what’s crazy about that message and that

message was from a series that i did

called modern church and i was talking

about modern apostles and apostles

aren’t often times what people think

people often associate apostles with

just you know church apostles or

whatever but you have a lot of apostles

who are in the marketplace

and and i had no idea so this was way

before this was months before the

pandemic this was months before any of

that and i was talking about a shaking

coming

and i was talking about there’s no

pandemic in sight

but the spirit of the lord

put that in my spirit

about a shaking coming and let me say

something

anytime you see a shaking

as a call person get ready

oh i’m going to say it again anytime you

see god shaking and shifting things and

things happening in the earth that is

our moment why because when the

foundation start getting shaken it’s

because god is opening a door for new

foundations to be laid

now i’m just curious by show of hands if

you are

in ministry if if you’re you’re you’re

calling your your purposes in ministry

like a church or a non-profit raise your

hand i just want to see who’s in the

room

okay

excellent not yet i was gonna get to

that category too

there’s a not yet category um if your

sense of calling or purpose has to do

with business uh or corporate i won’t

say i’m gonna say corporate a corporate

business not entrepreneurship but

corporate or business raise your hand i

just want to see by show hands oh that’s

good

and if you believe that your calling is

to entrepreneurship let me see your

hands

okay that’s really good and if you don’t

know

yet let me see your hands

oh this is awesome and let me see your

hand if you know your call you don’t

necessarily know what to

this this is amazing this is amazing and

that’s what this is for

you can’t be intimidated destiny people

have to see the opportunity in the

shaking

like when people are are stressed out

running around trying to figure out what

to do destiny people recognize that in

shaking moments that is actually your

time because that means that there is a

reordering

of things

the scriptures say

that we are called to be

the heads and not the tail

the tail is in the back it’s behind the

head is in the front

so when you see

the church or your own life or whomever

in the back when you see kingdom people

in the back

that’s a problem but don’t worry the

bible says the last shall be first

so how are those

who are seemingly in the back going to

get to the front it’s going to happen in

the shaking

are you tracking so so the shaking is

actually your friend

if you see it right

it’s your friend and so you have to

steward you have to learn to steward

the shaking and that’s what i want to

talk about and really that’s what this

whole thing is about this whole this

whole

call leaders

is about activating you

because there’s something in you man if

i would have known

what god was up to

when he called me

maybe one day i’ll tell you about that

call but but it was it was dramatic

it was in a dream but not a dream

and i was crying and i guess i didn’t

tell you about it that’s not not my nose

man

just

no i i had this i had this this this

crazy dream and i think i talk about it

in purpose awakening but i was in the

dream i was i was carried into another

dimension right and

the way that i knew that it was a

different dimension was that there was a

threshold of liquid

of like a thick clear liquid and i just

kept going up i ascended i ascended and

i was going at a rate of speed that i i

couldn’t even imagine i mean it was just

top speed just i guess warp speed and

then i broke to this dimension this

threshold

of fluid of clear fluid

and i stopped immediately and i had just

this awareness it’s like i knew

everything

and when i got there

it was me and my firstborn child wren

and she

had a gift

and her gift was that she could fly

but she did not know

that she had that gift

i saw it clearly in fact i was really

passionate about her and that gift but

she didn’t know she didn’t believe in it

and so so

it was just the two of us and then there

were hordes

of

what i could only assume were

the demonic demonic hordes demonic

forces

and they were coming upon us they were

like they were trying to get us you know

just just i mean and they were coming

and i’m like

i can’t fly but you got wings

and so i’m like fly baby fly

and i’m telling my daughter like fly

back and i knew i could see that she had

wings but she didn’t believe in it and

and and and the closer they got the

louder i cried i was trying to get

herself out of this you know and and

she’s like dad i can’t i’m like baby fly

baby fly like straight out spread out

your wings you can fly and she’s like i

can’t but then she tried it a little bit

and then she and she was i’m like yeah

you got it you got to go and all the

while they’re getting closer and closer

and closer and closer and so i keep

telling her baby fly fly be fly and

she’s like oh and then we lift it up

both of us are lifted up

just in time

and we’re carried over to another place

and then we’re there for a moment and

then guess what they came again and i’m

like fly baby fly

you know and we were lifted up and i

woke up from this dream

crying there were other things those are

the main things i walked crying

because i knew that god

was saying something to me

and ultimately as i sat with the lord to

unpack what that calling was about he

said first of all

you have to love everybody the same way

you love your firstborn child

everybody

that you meet

the same way you love your firstborn

child

and

that love is going to empower it’s going

to unlock your tongue

and and

god is love so it’s you know it’s the

spirit of god and it’s going to unlock

your tongue and you’re going to speak to

people

and they’re going to discover their

wings

and they’re going to fly

and he’s like you you ain’t got no wings

your wings

i didn’t give you wings i gave you the

anointing to speak

to those who have wings and as they rise

you’ll rise

and i woke up

and i was i was just in tears and that’s

how it all began

calling

is everything

it’s where it all begins so so i put

this together this

full transparency

is

the the next

dimension for me

i i want to talk to everybody and i’ll

talk to anybody and everybody that god

sends me to

but i really want to talk to you

call people

with something on their lives

some you’re trying to figure it out you

know you’ve been touched by god

and you’re kind of like paul

when he describes in philippians chapter

3 when he says that

i i haven’t apprehended this

he says i’m not

i’m i haven’t quite grasped this

you know and he was you know he was down

the road in his ministry but he’s saying

i haven’t i haven’t grasped this

he said

i’m trying to lay hold

of that for which christ is laid hold

upon me anybody there

you you don’t have it all figured out

yet

but there’s a sensing

and you just sense

that there’s something in you that must

get out i fill this with somebody and

you have been frustrated

and and you’ve tried some things but

you’re not satisfied there is this this

this this thirst in you

that nothing seems to satisfy with the

exception of the presence of god that’s

the only time that you feel normal

the only time that you feel fully normal

is when you are in the presence of god

and so then i realized when i looked at

my own life can i just testify a little

bit

we’ll cover it tonight but but i

realized when i looked at my own life

i realized that we haven’t been taught

how to manage callings

we have no no one has taught us

how to manage that call

so you have called people

that are often confused people

oh i feel the holy spirit

they’re confused

because because we are different but but

nobody is encouraging it

with the best of intentions they say oh

yeah you’re this so let me just put you

in this box no

baby

you have never seen one of these before

come on somebody

and so what happens is watch this call

people often get misdefined

see if i don’t do anything else i’m

gonna let somebody know that they ain’t

crazy you’re going to leave this

conference realizing you’re not crazy

like people try to make you feel like

you are

no one

teaches you

how to manage

your call

and that’s what this is about

and so

so when i looked at it i’m like man

because i look at my own life and i’ve

had great

men and women of god in my life great

great men and women of god

but no one knew how to help me manage my

call and maybe maybe they weren’t

supposed to

and maybe i i’ll confess right now

maybe i’m not going to tell you how to

manage a call but i can put you in the

parameters

[Applause]

by understanding what type of heart you

need to have

what type of head you need to have

what type of honing

your life needs

and what your hands

or your impact should be

and if i can just get you in the

vicinity

of god’s development

i will have fulfilled my mission

i will fulfill my mission

it’s just i’m thinking about eli you

know sorry eli and samuel

that’s a powerful don’t over don’t ever

just skip over that it’s in it’s in

first samuel chapter three

and samuel was anointed he had a calling

on his life like you

come on you elder at the gate you

you like but i’m only 12. that’s all

right

[Laughter]

samuel was just like you

there there was there was a call of god

on his life and it was a tremendous call

of god that was on his life and

and he ended up being in the house of a

man named eli study this when you get a

chance first samuel chapter three he

ended up being in eli’s house

and the lord started calling samuel

samuel

samuel

and samuel wakes up

and he goes to eli and he says eli you

called me

and he was like boy

going back to bed waking me up and stuff

like i can call you what you talking

about

and so eli he says go back and lay down

so so samuel goes back and he goes back

and he lays down

and the lord called him again

samuel samuel he gets up again he goes

to eli because that’s all he knows he’s

he’s trying to manage his calling

and eli says to him i didn’t call you

go lie down.

and he lies like something is up you

know

so he gets up again and he says after

god calls him samuel samuel and he goes

to eli you know the story

and eli perceived that it was god who

was calling him hmm hallelujah

and so eli says samuel i want you to go

back and lay down

but this time when you go back and lay

down watch this he’s helping him to

manage the call

he says this time when you go back and

lay down i want you to say

speak lord for your servant

hears or your servant is listening

he goes back

he does what samuel says

right

samuel didn’t tell him what god said

he just postured him

he helped him to get go lay down he

helped him to go and get in position

so that he can have the type of

encounter with god that he needed to

have so that he can become everything

that god created him to be and if you

see the end of that story he goes he

does what samuel says

eli samuel does what eli says he goes

back he lays down

god calls him samuel salmon he says

speak lord for your servant listens and

god

begins to speak to him and

instantaneously he is connected to the

voice of god he is connected to the

prophetic flow of god and watch this he

became the counselor

to kings

um i feel that

he he became

watch this see you don’t have to always

hold the keys

if you have the ear of the one who does

come on can we talk about influence for

a second this is a leadership conference

[Applause]

samuel

you don’t hear a lot of great stories

about sam i mean you’d have to really be

in the bible but but you don’t you know

samia’s not high on your list you know

you got david

you know you got jesus you got esther

you got rude he’s not there but he

shaped david

and so that’s what i feel like

this whole movement called called

leaders is about

i can’t tell you what your calling is

i’ll tell you right now i can’t tell you

that but i can tell you how to get your

heart

in a place

so that god can speak to you watch this

and you will never

lack flow

oh i feel that

so so i want to tonight tonight tonight

i want us to

talk about

the heart of the leader

and and i always start here and i say

always i’ve only done this i did it once

in 2019 for our staff

and then i did it in 2020 in denver

colorado denver makes some noise

colorado’s in the house make some noise

come on somebody

i did it in denver colorado who in fact

who was there for that

whoa wow let me see about 40 of you

that’s amazing i did it in denver it was

remember that was snowing yeah it’s

beautiful snow just white snow beautiful

and great man it ain’t snowing here

praise the lord

it’s actually snowing in different right

now or was yesterday i think anyway i

digress you i got to keep you on track

because we gotta you know we gotta we’re

like we gotta get through this

but um i always start these sessions

with the heart

and the reason why i start these

sessions with the heart we’re going to

talk about the heart tonight and tonight

really is about laying a foundation

tomorrow we’re going to be a lot more

practical

but tonight it is important to lay

the right foundation or none of what we

do will matter

and so

i get a lot of people to ask me

about

success i’ve been blessed to do a lot of

things you know and just and

consistently you know it’s that that’s

psalm one and three you shall be like a

tree planted by the rivers of water that

brings forth your fruit and every season

your leaf will not wither and whatsoever

you do shall prosper and and people who

have watched me have seen that and they

always ask me about it and you know what

the first thing i point to and the first

advice i give them i was like bro it’s

all about your heart

oh let me just stop right there

let’s go to the word first first

first samuel seven

second part of that verse you all know

this it says for the lord does not see

as man sees for man looks at the outward

appearance

but the lord looks at the heart

this is not an indictment on what man

looks at we’re going to touch on

the importance of knowing what man looks

like because if you know what man looks

at because if you know what man looks at

you will know how to influence man

so that’s not an indictment on how

man looks mankind looks it’s not an

indictment it’s just a truth

but it’s about what god looks at and

what god is looking at we have to pay

attention to

and it says that god

is looking at the heart

anything that god is looking at is an

indication of high value

so if god is looking at your heart

that means that your heart

has

extreme value

not just to god

but to you

in fact

your heart is the most critical part of

your spiritual anatomy as it relates to

you fulfilling your call feel it

that’s why

in proverbs what does this say it says

guard your heart

it says keep your heart i think it’s

proverbs 24 and 3. you know what i’m

saying

read the whole thing you’ll find it

right

but he says with all diligence guard

your heart keep your heart with all

diligence for out of it spring the

issues of life oh my god

heart management

is everything

it starts

with the heart

that’s what god is looking at

all the things that build you and make

you great

happen in

and to and live in your

heart

when i’m

hiring somebody yes i look at confidence

you know you gotta you can’t be

incompetent you know i i can pray for

you i

encourage you to work somewhere else but

you gotta have that

but for me the second best thing and

that thing that is just as important to

me is the heart of the person

because the heart of the person is who

the person is i’m trying to stay on

track tonight

that word heart is an interesting word

it’s a hebrew word and it speaks to it

literally means to be enclosed

it is it is your most

interior

organ it is your inner most being

and and god is focusing on it because he

knows that that is the thing that must

be managed

and developed our heart has to be

managed and developed

and one of the things and this is where

we’ll spend the majority of our time

tonight one of the things that

that resides in your heart

are your motives

i want to talk about motives tonight

i want to talk about

the importance of

your why

can i go to the night

i mean we’ll talk about strategy and

structure and processes and networking

and all the all the stuff that we need

to do what we need to do

because we need to do it but but can’t

but can we start tonight

with why

why do why do you want

to start a business

why do you want

to

to get this promotion why do you want to

be rich

can we go there

like why do you if you own a business

already why do you want to scale your

business like why and like well because

but yeah but why

i remember i remember i asked god i

remember ask god i was early in the

ministry and i was like god god i just

want you to lord just just really just

bless the ministry god just bring bring

millions of dollars into the ministry

it sounded real spiritual all that

about you

we have about 40 members god bring

millions of dollars into the ministry

and i’ll never forget it you know what

god said to me

why

and i was like

oh that’s easy

you don’t even have a million dollar

vision

so like like what is this

really about

why i love why

because why is a very powerful qualifier

of activity

action and direction

oh why will get you in trouble

you start asking yourself why

it is it is it is it is an active

question

that always points to the north star of

integrity

say it again you can write that down

why

why why

is

the active question you got to keep

asking it

that always points

to the north star

of integrity check this out why

is more important than what

why is more important than what

your what can and will change

but your why is

fixed when you’re called

can i talk to you like this tonight

yeah yeah

when when the world is crumbling around

you

it’s your why that will keep you active

and engaged

and fruitful

we got to get this why thing worked out

and i’ve discovered that if you live in

your why you won’t have to chase success

an accomplishment success and

accomplishment will chase you

if you live in your why

oh i feel the holy ghost

periodically i always have to get back

to and ground myself in my why why am i

doing what i’m doing sometimes burnout

is because you have lost sight

of your

why

sometimes

when you don’t feel the thing that you

know you need to feel

what has happened

you lost your why so you got to keep

your why in front of you and i believe

that it’s important

that you have a strong enough why

before you embark upon anything that

you’re going to give your life to

can we talk about why tonight

we’re going to dig a little deeper

why do you want to be a business owner

because it’s cool

why do you want a brand

because everybody has a brand and you

can

you know you can you know

be on the ground talking about fiji

water

it is so refreshing

i just love

why i’m not saying there’s anything

wrong with it i’m just asking you why

can we talk about why

just as your heart is your core your why

is your core oh god help me

see if you have your why together it

will keep you from being tossed to

and fro

i

i know my why

i know my why

can we go further

your why

watch this

is connected to a want

your why is always connected to a one so

when you ask why what you’re doing is

you’re getting down to the bottom line

of what you want

now i’d like to impose something on you

we’re all believers or we will be

believers

you know you you know a believer if

you’re here you know me yeah i’m a

believer you know

but but i i do want

i want to impose something on you

tonight this is this will be the only

thing i impose on you the whole time

we’re together but i do want to impose

something on you

if you don’t mind

i want to give you i want to give you i

want to give you

the highest want

i want to give you the highest one in

life

in order to do that

i want us to look at one

simple

but very potent verse

and it lets us in on

the why of one of the most successful

people in history

what came out of this individual

we are literally standing on today and

i’m talking about king david

i want to show you

his why

and we’re going to unpack it and we’re

going to see

why

it this why and this want and this

desire is sufficient it trumps anything

else we could ever want

since psalm 27 and 4 it’s one of my

favorite passages of scripture

here is what david says as we are

getting to his why king

david

the one who the messiah literally came

out of the lineage of

can you imagine being blessed so much

that that your children’s children’s

children’s children’s children

children’s children’s children i feel

the spirit your children’s children’s

children’s children children’s just keep

going that’s the type of blessing i want

i want every generation of roberts

oh you better catch what i’m saying i

want to live

in such a way

and be aligned

in my motives and in my heart in such a

way that everything named roberts

is helped oh i feel the spirit is

healthy

it’s blessed

it’s prosperous

thrives i feel it knows the lord this is

the grace that’s on david the man who

said these words

he was called a man after god’s own

heart and guess what this brother was

not perfect

but his why

his why was so

grounded

that god had to bless him

i i mean

his why was his life

and he says

he says

one thing

one thing

have

i desired of the lord one thing i have

desired of the lord

that will i seek

watch this

that i may dwell

not walk by not walk through not visit

not come on son no no no no

he says that i may

dwell that literally means live

watch this in the house of the lord

all the days of my life wait stop pause

did you hear what he just said

he says every second

of my day

with my life

i want to live

and move and breathe and function and

make decisions and make babies come on

somebody and make life and do bit

and do business

and get married

and start companies

[Applause]

and build my brand

everything that i do everything that is

me

i want to do

in the house

of the lord

[Applause]

all the days of my life

and then he says

and to behold watch this

the beauty of the lord

and to inquire

in his temple okay there’s so much there

first of all

he says

the house of the lord

and then later he says the temple of the

lord

and there is a reason

why he makes this distinction

so he says so let’s unpack a little bit

so he says

i want to spend

all of my life i want to spend all of my

life and i want to bring everything

connected to my life he’s saying i want

to do this all the days of my life this

is what i desire so he’s not talking

about coming in and out he’s talking

about living all the days of my life

he’s not talking about the temple why

because there wasn’t a temple

his son solomon built the temple

there was no temple

which means that he was not talking

about a building

what in the world

was he talking about

if there was no temple study it solomon

built the temple

after he died

so he’s not talking about that

what is he talking about

and he says the house of the

lord and then he says the temple of the

lord and whatever it is is so vast

that he has to inquire in it he’s in it

but still has to inquire

he’s in it but he still has to explo

it’s that and watch this explore it all

the days of his lives so it is

inexhaustible whatever it is he’s

talking about

is absolutely

inexhaustible he could live all of his

life inquiring

so what is he talking about

he’s talking about the

domain of god or since i said dom

he’s talking about the

kingdom

of god

this is kingdom talk i feel the holy

spirit

it says kingdom talk

[Laughter]

we came here to have kingdom

talk

and

the reason why he could

single his want or his why down to one

thing being the kingdom was because in

the kingdom

were all of his what’s

oh i gotta break that down right break

that down gotta break that down

see there’s a reason why jesus said seek

first the kingdom

and his righteousness and all other

things will be added why because he

knows your business

oh come on

your dream what you’re trying to do if

your why is right is in the kingdom and

you know what else god showed me

you know that passes

in john 14 where jesus says in my

father’s house

there are

many

mansions

and we always take that to heaven and it

works it applies there but the lord gave

me revelation about that too he is

saying i got whatever you need in

my house

and for i feel god in my father’s house

there are many mansions there are every

type of business you ever want to do if

it’s for me and if it’s for my glory

it’s in my house

that’s why you got to work out your why

and your why will always be greater

oh god i remember

when

we were

we had our

north hollywood facility

and

it was time to move

and i was going all around trying to

find the next building for our church a

growing church i had a couple thousand

members in i was trying to you know i’m

trying to find a place

and i’m going from place to place i’m

looking for a building

and i’m coming up short i can’t find a

building

i’m looking all over the city i got

desperate i was looking all down to

everything i couldn’t find a building

and god said stop looking for a building

stop seeking the building seek the

kingdom

and it seems odd it seems like

what are you talking about we need a

building and god is like duh

but if you seek the building you might

mess around and get the building and

miss the kingdom

i feel god see sometimes the reason why

god is saying no is

is because if you get

what you’re asking for you might miss

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

i feel it see see that delay for some of

you

that delay for some of you is god trying

to keep you in the kingdom

oh i feel god seek first

[Applause]

in my father’s house

are many mansions

many opportunities for your whole life

not just today

[Applause]

[Music]

many mansions i feel it

many mansions

many opportunities

many connections

many relationships

oh god i feel it many business

opportunities

oh god i feel the lord

and when your why is together

it puts you in the lane

where everything that is assigned to you

will just show up why because it’s in

the kingdom it’s in the kingdom the one

thing that i desire

that will i

that will i seek he was not an ignorant

person

david wasn’t ignorant

this man was a king

with armies and strategy and had seen

all kind of things under saul and then

having his own thing and and had

navigated crazy family things this dude

was wise

and i think

what what confirmed that he was as wise

as we thought he was

said he got his why worked out

got his wife worked out

in my father’s house

our many mansions now now now now

here’s the thing oh my god

we’re doing really good with time

here’s the thing

so i was looking at that

he says

one thing that i desire

that will i seek after

is that i might dwell in the house of

the lord domain

all the days of my life to behold the

beauty of the lord and to inquire in his

temple and so i’m thinking like wait

i’m always because house of the lord and

temple we it kind of seems the same but

but they actually are kind of different

because this this this invitation into

god’s presence

has a price

and the price is watch this

alignment with god’s person house of the

lord

and alignment with god’s priorities

his temple

i got i gotta say that right

the house of the lord is about the

personal you know the personality of god

the personal relationship with god you

think about you coming off my house

you’re not we’re not talking business

well you might talk business but i try

not to talk much business at the house

you get house we’re friendly we’re

having a friendly conversation you’re

getting to know me but in the temple

i’m working baby

so so what he’s saying is i am not just

connected to god personally he’s

it’s not just that but i’m also into his

work

oh i feel it

i feel it

and if we never

understand

the kingdom in such a way

where we are

into his work

then we’ll miss everything

because i’m learning there’s a different

oh i feel like here it is let me say

this there’s a difference

from being

a child of god watch this

and a son of god

oh let me drink my water

and mine somebody’s business

[Music]

you can be

saved but not a son

now i threw somebody off right there

because that that sounds okay wait a

minute he’s being extremely

patriarchal right now no has nothing to

do with sex son has nothing to do with

sex at all at all

it’s spiritual how can spirit there’s

there’s no sex in the spirit

that can be a show on sex in the city

sex in the spirit

no that would not work no no

no no no

they’d be like yes i’ve been waiting for

that

no

[Music]

bad analogy

i mean

there there is no gender

in the spirit

hello

there’s neither male no feminist none of

that it’s all genderless gender means

nothing in the spirit because it is

spiritual

but son

has to do with a position a divine

positioning of authority

and sons are about what their father is

about you can love god

hmm

you can appreciate god

house of the lord

but not be a son of god inquire in his

temple

[Music]

in his work

oh god

see we we talk about the love of god and

that’s wonderful but we don’t talk

enough about the kingdom of god which is

god’s priority

his priority is the kingdom why because

he knows everything we need is in it

and we’re like god no but i want to be

fighting for you know global warming i

want to fight for the environment god is

saying if you seek the kingdom i’ll give

you strategy for that too

no no lord i no it’s about equality you

know and i just wanna i can’t seek the

kingdom right now because my my mission

and my mandate is about equality

diversity equality and inclusion and god

is saying i know silly seek the kingdom

and i’ll give you strategy

for diversity

equity

and

inclusion oh i feel the spirit of god

i’m laying a foundation

we’re going all practical tomorrow but

we’ve got to get

this right what’s your why

what’s your why

what’s your why

what do you want more than anything

what do you want more than anything

and why forces honesty

i got to tell you can i just be

transparent with you so i’ve got

a lot of

business things going right now

a lot of business things

in fact

i probably have more business things

going right now than i do ministry

things

i’ll be very very open with him and be

very very transparent with you

and

it’s scary

because

i’m studying

deals and i’m studying about defy and

crypto and

nfts and all that kind of you know the

stuff that we’re we’re studying right

now

and i’m studying about development deals

and

and you know and i’m studying about how

to leverage

opportunity zone resources and all that

kind of stuff i’m yeah somebody knows so

so i and and i’m in it deep and it

requires a lot

of learning and a lot of studying and a

lot of meditating on those things right

and

and i’m not used to

i haven’t spent that much time

in business

since before i got into the ministry

and so

so

my

my spiritual breathing my my spiritual

sensitivities

seemingly

begin to dull a little bit

oh god

can i just talk to some real people in

here right now

i can rattle off the deal

but wait what with that scripture again

you know anybody ever been there before

where your work took you

it took it consumed so much of you

that you you begin to kind of you you

you or at least you felt like you were

kind of losing your spiritual edge

but you know that god opened that door

and you you know that that god has

called you you know that this is watch

this something that god promised you

he promised to bless you he promised to

make your name great he promised to

prosper you for i know the plans i have

for you plans to he promised all of that

what do you do

when you begin to step into the

manifestation

of what god promised you but it seems

like what god promises you promised you

is pulling you away

from the one who promised anybody ever

been there before am i in the right room

people watching online am i in the right

am i in the right vein

[Applause]

oh i feel the holy ghost

and that’s where

i’ve been finding myself lately

and i wake my wife up in the middle of

the night she loves it when i do that

[Applause]

i’m like baby

am i okay like how’s my spirit you know

like how how’s my energy you know i’ve

been doing this and i’m out networking

and i’m making moves and stuff is

progressing and god and it’s god it’s

family it is totally god

and she’s like you’re all right

[Laughter]

and so i

i was wrestling with this recently

and i got up in the middle of the night

i’m like man i can’t i i i’ll drop it

all

i drop every

apartment come on wait one bedroom look

all of us me all being the babies we’d

be right there in that one bedroom

apartment i’m serious

and lose you oh take all of it

i’ve got to know god i’ve got to know

that you and i are still good

like for real not church good not cute

good no no no that me and you are for

real

[Music]

and so i went down

to a place in my home where i meet with

god

and i was like god

you got to talk to me because i

just you blessed me but it’s you know

and i have this gift

that my my mother in love gave me

and it has

psalm 27 and 4 on it

and i’m like and i went down there and i

was like

that’s it

see

god’s gonna bless you

if you seek the kingdom it’s the

trickiest thing i’m gonna land in just a

second it’s the trickiest thing

if you seek the kingdom in my father’s

house there are many mansions

and if you are called

to business

and entrepreneurship

and you know that

it’s going to show up in your life

because of your integrity

but when it shows up in your life there

will be a new level of wrestling

and the beautiful thing honestly

is

there is a development

that happens

in the wrestling oh how deep can we go

the bible says that it is difficult

for a rich man

watch this to enter into the kingdom of

heaven it didn’t say impossible

instead of a rich man he said it is

easier

for

it to go through or him to go for a

camel it’s easy for a camel to go

through the eye of a needle

than it is for a rich man to enter into

the kingdom of heaven now when he’s

saying enter into the kingdom of heaven

i don’t believe he’s talking about like

going to heaven

i think he’s talking about the kingdom

the one thing that i desired that one

that i might dwell in the house of the

lord all the and to inc that i think

he’s talking about that

so he says that it’s not impossible but

he says it’s easier for a camel to go

through the eye of a needle now the eye

of the needle is not what you think

although that analogy might work

because if you just look at a needle and

think about a camel going through the

needle wow

that’s going to be a bloody

mess but the needle was an opening in

the gate

it was a small gate and had a small

opening and camels did get through but

what they would have to do is they would

have to drop down low

and they would have to unload

their stuff

and then strength i feel god and then

strain

its way through it

so it can happen but let me warn you

you’re gonna have to get low and every

once in a while every blessing

everything every dream that god put on

your back when he blessed you you’re

gonna have to get low put it to the side

be willing to let it go because it is

absolutely vital and critical that you

enter into the kingdom are you tracking

with me

[Music]

it can happen but it will cost you i

don’t want to give you the tools to

prosper and you lose your soul what

shall it profit a man if he gains the

whole world

[Applause]

[Music]

i don’t want to suck you up for failure

you’re going to get crazy tools

tomorrow

but i would rather if i had to choose

whether you got this

or the tools of tomorrow

i would cancel tomorrow

[Applause]

you like you better you can get my money

back too that’s fine

i would do that too

annual airfare

but i care about your soul i care about

your calling you’re going to shake it up

we don’t need another mess

with influence

come on somebody

we don’t need another mess with

influence we got a lot of mess with

influence

oh

we need

a message

with influence

[Music]

and so

here’s another thing that’s interesting

and then we will pray in a minute okay

somebody pointed something out to me in

that very popular passage of scripture

and evicted in ezekiel chapter 37.

and you know ezekiel 37 is the chapter

about the dry bones and the army and

prophesied to the dry bones and the army

stands up or whatever right and that is

a masterful story and you know he’s

prophesying to the dry bones and an army

comes up and they ultimately are brought

back together and they’re able to

possess the promise right the children

of israel but then right after that

god gives him a strange instruction he

gives the prophet ezekiel a strange

instruction kyle

he tells him he says i want you

to take the staff

of judah

and the staff of joseph

oh follow me

i want you to take

the staff of judah

and the staff of joseph

and

bind them together

into one

and show that and you this is going to

be your rod

this is going to be your staff

it’s going to be

the staff of judah well watch this which

represents the anointing

praise the anointing i feel the holy

ghost

and the staff of joseph watch this which

represents wealth

and the management of wealth

oh you’re not ready you’re not ready

you’re not ready you’re not ready

god’s saying i need in order for me to

do

what i’m what i’m trying to do in the

earth

i need your praise but that’s not all i

need

i need your anointing but that’s not all

i need

i need your shout

but that’s not all i need

bring that

but i need you to bring me something

else

he’s saying

i need your business acumen

i need your wealth your understanding of

wealth

business

culture technology whatever moves money

oh you’re not ready

whatever i need both of those together

and i’m a knee and he says i take them

and and it doesn’t make it like it’s

going to be easy he says i need you to

take them i need you to find a way

man i’m trying to help somebody today

i need you to find a way

to marry

what almost seems like opposites

study it ezekiel 37 somewhere around

verse 15. you know what i’m going to say

the rod of judah

and the rod of joseph

and i want you to watch this to figure

it out

figure out

how to make those things work together

and bring those things into one

rod

and then you lift that up and you take

the territory

[Applause]

if we don’t get why figured out family

what is this about

why are we doing this

why do you want to blow up

why do you want your business to succeed

why do you want to do well

why do you want to be rich

for real

we’re not here to pimp god

we’re not here

to

to take

we’re here to figure out why we’re here

i believe

i’m telling you people that are assigned

to me

signing my voice out of my family

you’re called to do some stuff

i remember god told me once

i really felt it was the lord and it

seemed crazy he’s like

you

i need to i need a billion dollars to

flow through you

a billion would it be

and it had nothing to do with me

or my lifestyle

it had to do with what he wanted to do

currency

currency

last thing i’m gonna say i said that

three times

as it relates to the pioneer

as it relates to

when the foundations get shaken like we

experienced

the apostolic grace is the grace

to build it’s the grace of lay

foundation you’ve seen it in the

scriptures before we the the the

foundations were laid by the apostles

and the prophets you’ve seen that right

i sat back and i thought about google

and i thought about amazon

it may not be kingdom

but it’s apostolic

it’s a foundation watch this let me show

you how powerful foundation is a

pioneering foundation right because you

didn’t hear those names 20 years ago 25

years ago so those are pioneer movements

these staple movements were once

pioneering movements

and what they may or may not have

understood

at the time

was they were watch this getting ready

to lay a foundation that we are all

walking on right now

we’re walking on the foundation of

amazon some of you probably just before

you even got it you ordered you

something

that’s the power of the that’s the power

of the foundation laying grace

if you get there and you do it and you

lay it down first

man i feel it i want to pray into this

if you get there first

and lay it down

and become the head as a result

the world will have to come and walk on

what you built

[Applause]

this

is huge

and i want you

to think

huge

i want you to think amazon

oh i wish i had some faith in this room

i want you to think

amazon huge what

more

the jeff bezos half that you have he may

have more now but he didn’t start with

more

he had two legs

two eyeballs a nose

just like you

i feel like the lord wants to give

something right now

i feel like he wants to get if you’re

stirred right now just stand up and cup

your hands

if you’re stirred if you’re not that’s

okay i i got all week with you

cup your hands

the reason why the apostolic anointing

in the apostolic grace is so important

is because you’re laying something down

that others will walk on

they’re walking on amazon right now

they’re walking on google right now

they’re walking on apple right now

and all of that started

with no more than what you have right

now

and every thought that will come into

your head

and say i can’t do it i bind it right

now this is the house of miracles

and we came

to get our heart together

and we’re going to get our head together

too

keep your hands cupped

why not you

why not

any time you see a shaking

you got to claim it as your moment

you got to claim it as your moment any

time you see watch this not just a

shaking but a transition

you got to claim it as your moment

oh i feel the holy spirit that’s why you

cannot be frustrated because you are

last

all it takes is a shake

[Music]

god brought you to california where the

earth shakes to remind you that all it

takes is a

is a shake

and you got to be ready that’s why we’re

talking what we’re talking about

tomorrow so that you can be ready you

can’t see the shake and then get ready

you got to be red i feel gut you got to

get ready so when the shake happens you

are in position

oh gotta feel it

oh god i feel it oh god i feel it i want

to prophesy tonight oh god i feel it

where’s brunes somebody come on i want

to prophesy tonight something’s getting

ready i feel god come on just begin to

lift your voice come on i i know this is

a a different type of thing but but come

on just something’s getting ready to

happen in this room oh god i feel it so

strongly

whoa

why not you

why not you

why not you you got a head you can

receive an idea you’re connected with

god you’ve got faith why

not you

oh god

people are gonna walk on what you built

long after you’re gone people are gonna

walk on what you build

i’m praying

that god stretches your mind right now

i’m praying that he stretches your

inside right now i didn’t come to talk

to you about cute little things i

believe that there’s something in you

that will shake this earth

[Applause]

[Music]

if i was my father-in-law i would say

get ready get ready get ready get ready

get ready get ready prepare your insides

prepare your inside get

ready

get

ready

that’s what we’re trying to do tomorrow

get you ready get

ready get

get

ready

get

in

position

now is not a time to play get in

position

learn what you need to learn connect

with who you need to connect with do

that thing stop playing get off of

social media you ain’t got time for that

read you some books hello some

body

you ain’t got time for it

because the ground is still shaking

it’s still shaking

the crypto space

and the nft space and there are other

things that are happening d5 look that

up

these things took off watch this in the

midst of instability and uncertainty

the the pioneers

of cryptocurrency

had a mentality that says

i’m going to move

in the midst of disruption and if i

don’t see the disruption i will be the

disruption oh i wish somebody would

catch what i just said

[Music]

jesus said the children of this world

are wiser

than the children of the kingdom

so the mentality see we say oh no i need

to be safe when things are unstable

i need to be safe

when things are uncertain but the

apostolic mentality says

shaking is my thing

uncertainty is my thing

instability

is my thing

watch this

i don’t have to worry about external

instability if i am stabilized by the

kingdom

because everything

that can be shaken

will be shaken so that that which cannot

be shaken can remain it is supposed to

shake around you to prove to you that

you cannot be

shaken i want you to start dancing when

it’s shaking don’t start running don’t

start hiding start dancing when you feel

the earthquake start dancing when you

feel the shifting start praising when it

looks unstable

because there is a reordering of things

[Music]

come on let’s worship

let’s worship let’s worship let’s

worship

but you know who this

word is especially for

is for those who have the right why

[Music]

have the right why

write

why

but i don’t want to be rich because i’m

trying to compete with my neighbor

lord i don’t i don’t want to be famous

and have millions of followers because i

want to be like one of these people

lord i want to see your kingdom come for

real god

i’m not worried about my stuff because

because i know all of my stuff is in

your stuff

so if i take care of your stuff i will

automatically inherit my stuff because

the true stuff that belongs to me is in

your stuff

seek first the kingdom

and all the things

[Music]

will be added

unto you added

added extra

what if what you were pursuing with all

your heart is just extra

in comparison to what god will do if you

will seek his kingdom

extra

throw away

overflow

i’ll open up the windows of heaven

and pour you out

such a blessing

that you won’t have room enough to

receive extra add-on

i feel that

bless you in such a way that you will

have to hire people

to show you how to do good with it

man i wish somebody would catch that

i decree that over somebody right now

that because your why is intact

and all you want to do is see his

kingdom come

that’s your one that’s the one thing

that’s the thing that you seek after

that you will dwell in his house know

him and inquire in his temple understand

the kingdom and the work of the kingdom

i decree and i prophesy right now that

there will be so much abundance in your

life that you will have to hire people

to manage

how you are a blessing

[Music]

somebody grab that

somebody online grabbed that somebody

grabbed that somebody grabbed that

somebody grabbed that i’m grabbing it

for me i’m grabbing it for me

but this does not happen

[Music]

to people with weak wise

yeah

yeah come on take it

take it

take it

take it take it take it

take it i’m not lying to you take it

take it

take it

take it

[Music]

this is an invitation

that’s what that word calling in the

greek it literally means an invitation

romans 8 28

and we know that all things work

together for good

to those who love god watch this and the

called in the greek literally invited

called according to his purpose that

word purpose literally means proposal

and i believe tonight that god is

setting out a proposal just like a deal

you go and you do business let me see

your proposal

and i believe tonight

was god’s proposal

he’s laying out a proposal if you will

seek first

my kingdom

and my righteousness

all other things

will be added

and i will cause hear me

i will cause all things

to work together

for good

if you accept my invitation

i want to do an altar call

and however your comfort whatever your

comfort level is i respect

all of whatever your comfort level is

but if we’re going to give god our why

tonight

yeah i got dreams

yeah i got

business i want to start

yeah i got a ministry i want to start a

non-profit yeah

i want to

scale what i’m doing yes

but

but i want

to do so from the place of the highest

why

i want to be like david

the one thing that i desire

that will i seek after

he said i might dwell on your house i

realize

that all of my what’s are in your house

i don’t have to have a compartmentalized

life

i don’t have to have that

one thing

in my father’s house are many mansions

and jesus if it were not so i would have

told you

recognize

who we’re talking about we’re talking

about god

and we’re not gonna be

duped

by

stuff that people throw in our face man

let me tell you something we haven’t

seen influence yet

and there are people under the sound of

my voice right now

i sense it i feel it i know it

and you are absolutely next

you are absolutely next and

the conversations

that you have with yourself

you got to talk to yourself right

i swear family you got to talk right to

yourself

[Applause]

you got to talk yourself into things not

out of things

because for some it’s going to be even

difficult to receive some of the things

that i said tonight because there’s that

voice i’m telling you there’s another

voice in you but sometimes we have a

very tricky relationship with ourselves

and that voice be like no you can’t do

that why not and who would god god is

not a cat god that’s not the voice of

god

that ain’t

god that ain’t god

how could god watch this be on one side

of the word giving you the prophetic

word and then on the other side of the

word saying no that ain’t for you

we’re just getting started but you see

why we had to start here

we got to start here

because this is all that matters

take it all

i mean i was wrestling i’m telling you i

gotta went down and sat down in that

room

i said god i don’t i feel i don’t feel

this this feels different and it wasn’t

even wrong

it was the tension

[Music]

it would have been a problem if i didn’t

feel that i needed to go and do that

that would have meant that i’m

down the road now

i hear this with somebody

god trusts you

he trusts you

he’s gonna do it because he trusts you

he trusts you jared

i trust you

i trust you

isn’t it funny we got to go in a minute

isn’t it funny how god trusts us more

than we trust us

we’ll give up on ourselves like oh no

that guy’s like dude

i’ve already gone ahead of you

there’s already grace i i handle that

i want to pray for you

you hear me tonight

you hear me

i trust you

you just got to make certain

that i might even get that scripture

tatted on me

the religious person’s saying that you

went too far whatever

and here’s why i always want to see that

verse

because if i look at that verse i will

be able to tell whether or not i’m

living in my why

i want to pray for you

so i ask you to come forward

because i want you to be just like me

and i want you to give god your why

i want you to make him your why

i want this to be

an altar of consecration and dedication

and maybe even a recommend sometimes i’m

telling you what it’s like maybe working

so hard you make moves you know what i

mean and you haven’t prayed as much

or the prayer is hey god bless this

thing

right there in the model prayer

look at how jesus teaches us to pray our

father who art in heaven hallowed be thy

name what is the first thing he say thy

kingdom come

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven

the very top of the prayer

is about priority

[Music]

so what we’re going to do no matter

where we were

is we’re going to shift

we’re going to shift

all of that focus

all that in fact in order to do it

honestly we’ve got to lay our dream down

[Applause]

it’s the hard part

it’s the hard part

gotta lay our dream down

[Music]

gotta lay our dream down okay gotta be

like that camel right

i gotta get

into the kingdom

and if i’m honest

i got my dream on my back

i got my dream on my back i got

my aspirations on my back i got

that business i want on my back i got

i got that money it’s on my back got

that deal it’s on my back but

but i can’t enter into the kingdom

here’s a crazy thing if you do it right

you’ll go get to the side and that stuff

that you laid out on your back over

there will be waiting for you on the

other side

and more

story of the rich young ruler we got to

go last story

rich young ruler

you remember that story rich young ruler

what must i do watch this to inherit

eternal life whatever

basically what must i do to get into the

kingdom

and jesus says oh

sell everything you have

get to the poor

he’s like i ain’t going through the eye

of the needle

peter

is like lord we’ve left everything to

follow you and jesus let me let you know

some bro

he’s like there’s no one

who has given up anything who will not

receive 100 fold now and this time

everything they gave up so

the rich young ruler

was at the eye of the needle he was at

the gate

god was trying to get him jesus was

trying to get him

to take what he had and he had a lot off

his back but if he would have taken off

his back trusted god and walked through

the gate that would have been a

hundred-fold return on the other side of

the gate

what needs to roll off your back right

now

no we’re gonna do this for real

we’re gonna do this for real

we’re gonna do it for real

we’re gonna give god our dream

huh watch this even the dream that he

promised

come on

like abraham and isaac

i don’t want anything

standing between me and my why

because at the end of the day

dwell in your house

to experience your person

and to inquire in your temple to be

about your work

father thank you

thank you for

these moments god these are precious

moments here we are god in the city of

lights in the city of fame and

opulence and wealth and

and everything else

saying

the one thing that i desire

it’s not my name on a billboard

it’s not

my face on television

it’s not

two million followers on social media

well we’re saying god is the one thing

that we desire

and that we will seek

is to live full time

in your presence

full time in your domain and in your

kingdom hallelujah

purify our hearts god

purify our why

oh we know it’s not wrong to want what

you want for us

but god we just want

to prioritize

that want

and so we give you every
