hey family this is pastor Toure Pastor

Sarah we want to welcome you to this

video we’ve got a word from God for you

it’s going to bless you we wanted to

pause for a second before you watch this

video and we want you to pray as you’re

watching this video about partnering

with us to allow us to continue to meet

the needs of people not simply

spiritually but also practically it’s

such an honor to be able to serve people

during this time and we as an

organization are partnering to make sure

that we’re taking care of children that

we’re feeding the elderly that the

homeless are getting the care and

attention they need and you can be a

part of helping us change the world so

we invite you to come there’ll be

instructions on the screen partner with

us pray with us we are doubling down on

the generosity that our campuses have

historically done we love you enjoy this

word look for the instructions bless you

one of the things that I absolutely love

about the goodness of God is that the

goodness of God doesn’t care about a

pandemic come on somebody the goodness

of God will run until whatever your

situation is and it will find you and it

will remind you that you are loved that

you were seeing that you are provided

for and protected and I am so grateful

because I don’t know about you when I

start to feel fear or even maybe a

little bit of anxiety then I’m reminded

instantly of the goodness of God my

daughter had on his shirt yesterday

and her shirt said and I was in the

middle of just like I couldn’t figure

out what was happening to me but her

shirt said I ain’t worried about nothing

and it blessed my spirit so much because

it was a reminder to me that even in the

midst of the storm our God has a

strategy come on did you hear Sunday’s

message you got to check it out

I’m so excited I’ve been praying you

know preaching during this time is so

much different than preaching in other

seasons because everything is shifting

and changing in the world so quickly and

so suddenly and so always constantly

asking God to leave our hearts open that

we may feed you the finest food from the

kingdom that you may be nourished and

edified and sent out and to do God’s

work and I believe that that’s exactly

what’s going to happen

I share this word I’m going to be

speaking from John nine I’m gonna start

at verse 35 I really love this text as I

was reading it this time I saw something

a little bit different that really

blessed me and inspired me and hopefully

will do the same for you I’m gonna start

in verse 35 it says Jesus heard that

they had cast him out and when he had

found him just a little bit of context

so Jesus this is when Jesus has healed a

blind man and he took the clay and he

told them in after putting clay on his

eyes to go over to the pool and watch

the clay out and then he would be able

to see well after Jesus has performed

this miracle the Pharisees those are the

group of people who were anti Jesus at

that time because they did not believe

that he was the son of God well the

Pharisees they get really upset and

they’re upset because they want to know

how this man got healed they’re trying

to find some crime to punish on Jesus

and and they have this almost like a

courtroom setting with the man who’s

been healed where they’re asking him who

saved you who who performed this miracle

and he says I don’t know I was blind

when it happened to me and he was gone

after I was healed and so it picks up in

verse 35 it says Jesus heard that they

had cast him out and when he had found

him he said to him do you believe in the

Son of God he answered and said who is

he Lord that I may believe in him and

Jesus said to him you have both seen him

and it is he who was talking with you

then he said Lord I believe and he

worshiped him and Jesus said for

judgment I have come into this world

that those who do not see may see and

that those who see may be made blind

father this is our moment to see what

you see

to take a moment and look at our lives

to look at our world and to receive a

word from you that opens our eyes it is

my prayer that you will do just that

that in this short time that we have

together that you would remove any

distractions any anxieties any worries

just for a minute quiet the household

quiet the car quiet our co-workers God

that we can hear exactly what it is that

you have for us Father I believe that

you are the only one able to take one

word and dissect it and craft it and

mold it until it fits literally the

thousands of people who will receive it

that’s the kind of God we serve so we

turn this over to you and we say have

your way great God that you are in Jesus

name Amen and amen

again I have been studying some of the

effects of the pandemic and how it has

shifted and shaped so much about the way

that we function and I think that one of

the things that we can be universally

grateful for is the internet I don’t

know about you but the Internet is the

unsung hero of this pandemic we have

been able to get so much information on

how we can one prevent this spread how

we can connect with others who are in

need in this time but for me most

importantly the gospel of the kingdom is

able to still spread throughout the

world because of the internet the

Internet has also changed things for a

lot of corporations right so over time

when it was just a tool that we use to

maybe find potential candidates for job

positions it has now become a tool that

literally removes the need to have a a

corporate place of gathering from day to

day right because of the internet even

during this pandemic when we’re not

supposed to be gathered we’re able to

use the internet so that we can continue

to move forward to work remotely right

the Internet has changed our ability to

work remotely in corporations and who

could have known when we first started

this crazy thing called the worldwide

web that eventually it would become the

tool that allowed so many of us to

continue building in spite of

restrictions and regulations and as much

as I would like to say that the Internet

is responsible for this creative notion

of working remotely as I was studying I

realized that the internet didn’t start

this whole notion of working remotely

you guys know this scripture it’s not

unfamiliar it’s Jeremiah one and five

I’m gonna read it word for word it says

before I formed you in the womb I knew

you before you were born I sanctified

you I ordained you a prophet to the

nation so before God formed the Prophet

Jeremiah’s who he’s speaking to in this

moment before God forms him in his

mother’s womb he knew him right before

he was born he said I ordained you he

said I sanctified you and I ordained you

a prophet to the nation’s before you

were born I gave you a job where did

this happen this happened in a realm

that we cannot see there was something

happening in a realm in an environment a

home that we could not see that was

going to affect this new dimension and

so God gave him an assignment before he

was born

God says before I send you down to the

earth I want you to know emphatically

that I am NOT just sending you down here

to experience the pleasures of life

I’m sending you down here because I have

ordained you as a prophet I’m sending

you down here I’m sending you to the

earth so that you can work remotely

that’s something important for us to

realize and for us to recognize that we

are not just here to experience the

world around us

we are here because we are on assignment

you are working remotely you did not

start in this world you started in a

world that this world can’t even

understand you started in the kingdom

you started in the mind of God and when

you started in the mind of God he says

if there’s something I need you to do in

the earth that only you can do I have a

job for you

you’re not just in

that marriage you’re not just working

that job you’re not just raising that

child you’re not just going to that

school you’re working remotely you got

to know this because when fear starts

permeating this world you got to

remember that I’m not of this world I’m

working remotely where I’m from we don’t

even believe in fear I feel that

prophetically for somebody where I’m

from there is no power that fear has

where I’m from there is no strength that

anxiety has over my life so I am here

working remotely and whenever I start to

feel the culture of this world invade my

culture then my assignment is to

recognize where I come from I got to get

reconnected with where I’m from because

I’m starting to forget the culture of my

working environment god help me

sometimes when you’re working from home

right and a lot of us are working from

home now sometimes you start off really

strong right you’re waking up you’re

getting up one time you’re getting fully

clothed and then eventually you start

slipping right I’ll just keep my pajamas

on or oh the kids are messing with me

I’ll do that thing a little bit later

and what happens is the culture of the

home begins to invade your work ethic

that’s the same thing that happens to us

when the culture of this world begins to

invade our heavenly our divine our

kingdom assigned work ethic and if you

are not careful and intentional about

pinpointing when that is happening then

you won’t know what’s going on with you

but I hear God’s saying that even as

you’re listening to this message that

he’s drawing a line in the sand I need

you to recognize that you’ve allowed the

cultural culture of this work

environment that’s down here on the

earth to make you forget how we do

things where we’re from where we’re from

we have Authority where we’re from we

don’t run when everyone else is standing

around where we’re from we we answer to

what’s happening in the world where

we’re from we write books where we’re

from we produce where we’re from we

remember that we are the change that we

want to see in the world where we’re

from we operate differently we think

differently we sleep differently where

we’re from we have

certain level of culture and that

culture needs to invade this world like

never before that culture needs to be

released in this world and it will only

happen for those who recognize I’m here

working remotely I’m on assignment

before I was formed in my mother’s womb

God knew me he ordained me as a prophet

he ordained me as his mouthpiece that’s

why I’m serving that’s why I’m coming up

with ways to serve the community that’s

why I’m coming up with ways to make sure

that the kingdom is spread that’s why I

cannot be silenced I hear that for you I

don’t know who you are but you are going

to allow this thing to silence you and I

hear God’s saying that our ordained you

a prophet that means you are a

mouthpiece for God that means if you do

not release what God is doing in this

season if you don’t release love if you

don’t release hope if you don’t release

faith then it may not be released or not

what if the cure is laid up in your

mouth what if the breakthrough is laid

up in your mouth what if you are the one

who can produce the change that you want

to see in the world you’re tired of

hearing what the news is saying you’re

tired of hearing what everyone else is

saying on social media well what are you

saying with your mouth you are the

Prophet that has been called to speak in

this time you are alive in this season

and industry narration for a reason and

I hear God’s saying that there’s

something that I put in your mouth that

must come out of your mouth that there’s

some joy that needs to come out of your

mouth that there’s some peace that needs

to come out of your mouth oh but I’m not

a prayer warrior yes you are a prayer

warrior you just haven’t released your

sound yet I hear guys saying you don’t

know who you are in the kingdom until

you have been backed against the wall

when you get back against the wall we

will begin to see what God is play

on the inside of you I hear God saying

you’re our prophet you are not broken

you are not insecure you do not battle

with anxiety I hear that saying before

any of that

we’re a profit you are a profit

before they walked away you are a

prophet when the world

Rockman when the room is empty you

when you work from home

[Music]

you are a prophet report the teenage

pregnancy before you became anything

you are a prophet you are a prophet you

are a prophet you are a mouthpiece for

God and God is looking to release his

voice in this earth he’s looking to

combat the negative to the negativity

that is in this world and I hear guys

saying that only my prophets only my

prophets can release my voice only those

who are connected to me only those who

are pressing in to hear what I’m saying

only those who are creating an

environment where I can sit in the room

those are my prophets and I’m looking

for my prophets I’m praying right now I

don’t know who you are but I’m praying

that God will begin to raise you up not

so that the world can see you not so

that the world can celebrate you was so

that your prophetic gifting your ability

to release God’s sound may be unleashed

like never before and maybe is

and Timmy and maybe it took a divorce

and maybe it says you have to go

hell for you to finally decide I will

not

silence rocks we’re gonna cry now

right

I can do what

I am a prophet I am a prophet

what are you prophesy again

– Anita you are just beginning the world

is not going through hell the world is

getting ready for

goddess calling us

like then are you

are you ready to carry this weight

are you ready to stand up to this thing

are you ready to square up by ordains

you a prophet and now we’re about to see

who’s a prophet who can prophesy in the

middle of the storm who can speak who

can have a prophetic utterance who

recognizes that I am NOT powerful

because of what I’ve done but because of

what I’ve seen but because I am a

prophet I was ordained before I came

into this world and I believe that as

you find a ways to bring unity into this

humanity into this world and into this

country that it’s not just a good idea

that it is a God idea and we have to

recognize what is a good idea versus a

God idea that when you’re helping

someone navigate through their anxiety

and through their fear that it’s not

just you being a supportive friend is

you being a prophet when you tell

someone you’re going to be okay I dare

you to add heavens resources to the

words that are coming out of your mouth

when you say it you may be unsure but

when you say lit with heavens resources

it’s just things in the atmosphere I am

Telling You that we’re gonna make it to

the other side of this I’m telling you

we’re gonna be stronger as a result of

what we’ve gone through

I’m telling you that more people that

want to know God that has ever known him

before I’m not saying it as their shakes

Roberts I’m

the girl who was formed before she even

came into this world the Prophet the

Prophet says were coming out on the

other side of this and so our job and

our role now is to recognize that our

best bet is to work the way Jesus worked

Jesus was God working remotely Jesus was

God wrapped in flesh God says in the New

Testament my spirit needs to invade the

earth and because my spirit needs to

invade the earth

I’m going to take this young virgin

ghrelin I’m going to impregnate her with

my spirit and when she gets pregnant

with my spirit my Holy Spirit is going

to invade the earth I don’t know who you

are but I feel like you’ve been

wondering what’s happening and I hear

God’s saying that’s that’s my spirit

invading the earth when God’s Spirit

invades the earth you got to understand

what happens when God’s Spirit invades

the earth that pushes back fear when

God’s Spirit invades the earth it pushes

back to Monica pression when God’s

Spirit invades earth there are some

things that cannot live any longer God

says the spirit may not be able to

change what happened to you but it can

take what happened to you and get it out

of your spirit when you get filled with

the Holy Spirit then there

some things that cannot stay in you any

longer you may need to go to rehab but

what you may need to do first is did

filled with the spirit you may need to

break up with the person but you can’t

do it on your own you don’t need the

Holy Spirit for this thing I hear God’s

saying that I’m coming for another round

of my sphere

I allow my spirit to invade earth who or

at least my glory

Oh mice to work remotely brought the

King of Kings why the Lord of

let his spirit

my spirit my spirit my spirit my spirit

my spirit they need my spirit in the

hospital they need my spirit at the

grocery store my spirit my sweat who

will carry the Spirit of the Lord it’s

gotta invade Earth every time you see

fear you wanna have an answer

why should you have an answer because

you carry the Spirit of God so Jesus

Jesus recognizes that there’s work to do

in Earth and so he doesn’t just spend

the time on the earth releasing the

spirit from himself he gathers some

disciples because he recognizes I need

to be a recruiter too because it’s not

enough to just carry God’s Spirit we got

to be able to recruit some people too

and Jesus is the ultimate recruiter and

when he realizes that there’s going to

be work for all of us to do he starts

off on this mission and he starts

recruiting the disciples follow me and

I’m going to make you fishers of men

follow me follow me I want you to be a

recruiter I want you to be a recruiter

because there are some other people who

need to work remotely we need to remind

them that they are in this world but

they are not of this world and they will

only do it if they see someone else

functioning in their purpose and so he

starts recruiting and at this point in

my text Jesus has recruited his

disciples but he’s about to recruit an

unsuspecting blind man a blind man who

doesn’t beg to be healed like blind

bartimaeus but a man who someone else

points out the disciples point out to

Jesus and they say to Jesus what sin did

this man’s parents do that he ended up

blind and John nine and three it says

jesus answered them and said neither

this man nor his parents sinned but that

the works of God should be revealed in

him then Jesus says I must work the

works of him who sent me while it is day

the night is coming when no one can work

Jesus tells us in this text that this

man is here so that work can be done in

him the miracle that is about to be

performed has nothing to do with what

the man wanted and everything to do with

the work that had to be produced from

him because God is on assignment and

because God is on assignment he uses

this unsuspecting man he uses this man

who had no idea that he was about to be

caught out and placed on this spotlight

Jesus is working remotely I want to read

it to you the way I studied it you know

how I do because Jesus is recruiting and

Jesus is recruiting not with miracles

the way I studied it I thought that when

Jesus performed the miracle on the blind

man that he did that so that he could

recruit him into the kingdom and I was

wrong because had that been the case as

soon as the man was healed he would have

automatically been following Jesus but

he had something more important to do

improve to this man it was important for

him to prove to this man that I have

performed this miracle so that you can

see you are still set apart I’m gonna

break it down for you this man was born

blind blind was all he knew and when

you’re born with any type of dysfunction

whether it’s a handicap that can be seen

or a brokenness on the inside you always

feel different and this miracle that

Jesus performs is the one thing that is

keeping him from being like everyone

else I’m going to give you this miracle

and now you will become like everyone

else that is what we believe when we

pray for miracles sometimes we’re

praying for miracles because we think

the miracle is going to make us like

someone else the miracle is going to

level the playing field the miracle is

going to help us to be like all of these

other people we have seen but check this

Jesus gives this blind man the miracle

and the man still doesn’t fit in what is

we’re praying that God would give us a

miracle and we’re wondering why God gave

us the miracle and we still feel

different and we still feel awkward and

it didn’t do for us what we thought it

was going to do I got the degree but I

still don’t feel fulfilled I got the

marriage but I still don’t have my

purpose I have the money in the bank but

I still don’t feel like I’m making a

change in the world what happens when

God gives you a miracle and it still

makes you feel empty I believe this as I

was reading this text and I was studying

that the miracle was never meant to make

the men like everyone else the miracle

was there to prove to him that I can

bless you but you will still be set

apart and that is a word for someone to

recognize in this season that you’re

praying that God will make you like

everyone else

and God has given you some of the

desires of your heart

so you still feel left out you still

feel cast out I hear God saying the

miracle wasn’t broken it’s your

perception of what the miracle was

supposed to do the miracle was never

supposed to make you more like them it

was supposed to make you more like me it

was supposed to make you more like the

guy who gave you the miracle in the

first place it was supposed to make you

curious I hear I feel God on that the

miracle is supposed to make you curious

not fit in the miracle is not so that

you can be like everyone else

the miracle is not so you can be

validated the miracle is not so everyone

can see that you were right all along

the miracle is so that you can draw

closer to him I don’t know about you but

God has given me some miracles in my

life that I felt so unworthy of God how

could you give this thing to a girl like

me how could you give this influence to

a girl like me I didn’t go to school for

it I don’t know how to do it eloquently

but I hear God

saying the miracle was never about you

and everything to do with creating a

hunger that you would become desperate

for the man behind the miracles I felt

like that’s the whole message within

itself when we become desperate for the

man behind the miracles you will never

have to wonder if another miracle is on

the way

because I am connected with the ultimate

source I want to know more about the man

behind the miracle I want to know more

about the man who made a way out of

knowing God how is it that you let that

kid come through in the middle of this

work God how is it that you allowed me

to meet this person when I was out here

randomly and I hear God saying you’re

calling it a miracle but you won’t have

breakthrough hmm you won’t have

breakthrough until you become curious

about the man behind the miracle the

blind man should have been having the

days of his life I once was blind but

now I see but now I’m on trial and I’m

in adversity god this isn’t what my

miracle was supposed to look like yes

sir that’s exactly what your miracle was

supposed to look like but you won’t know

how to handle the miracle unless you

stay connected with the

I hear guys saying you won’t lose this

time

look like a miracle that you’re gonna

lose one

but I hear God saying you will never

have do this prophetically for somebody

you will never have to worry

knowing that to have you

there is a man behind the mirror

man’s legacy

think that is standing in your way

by the miracle

the man behind the miracle and he wants

you to know who he is

and he wants you to recognize that I’m

out here recruiting people who can work

remotely I’m not just recruiting people

who can work miracles

people who can work miracles I want to

know who can stay connected to their

boss in spite of the bonuses

got if you don’t give me a bonus God if

I don’t never get a raise but I can stay

connected

that connected

oh my goal is to stay connected my goal

is to keep my head above water I can’t

watch the news all day I can’t just get

up and eat all the snacks I gotta do

something that awakens what God place

down on the in spite of me cuz there’s a

God in heaven waiting on me and it’s way

know somebody will recognize that so I’m

not on vacation

make sure my hitter does the work

that Living God that

or notice that you had your last day

[Music]

we’re not on vacation we still working

and the kind of work we do cannot be

banned and the kind of work we do cannot

be stopped and the kind of work we do

will invade earth and it will invade

every illness you don’t know who my boss

is if you know who my boss was you won’t

even talk to me the way you’ve been

talking to me you better learn to

unleash your mouth on fear this fear

doesn’t know who your boss this anxiety

doesn’t know who your boss is

you got a boss and you’re working

remotely and everything that happens in

the earth is happening for those who are

called the sons of God to come forth the

enemy is not after your finances he is

not after your relationships he’s trying

to make you quit your job that word sin

and the Greek as her Mattia means to

miss the mark missed the mark the mark

of what the mark of my job assignment

the job of what God has called me to do

and who he’s called me to become the

enemy is after your job you were sent

from heaven to work remotely and if you

allow the chaos and the disappointment

and disaster of this world

to keep you from working to keep you

from producing to keep you from staying

connected to God and you lose you may be

comfortable for a minute calling that

person you may be comfortable for a

minute in that bottle you may be

comfortable for a minute drinking that

thing but I’m telling you when it’s all

said and done it’s all making you miss

miss the mark this is not the season to

miss the mark this is not the season to

not be on your square this is not the

season to be distracted now like a

never-before we got to go harder than

we’ve ever gone before

we

to do it if no one comes we got to do it

if no one sees it because it’s a part of

my job assignment it’s a part of why I’m

here this world can’t tell you when the

world is going to end stop reading the

articles stop looking at the

conspiracies no man knows the day nor

the hour but God sinks you down here

because he says you need to be alive in

this day and in this hour and my

question to you is are you doing the

work of your father and have you removed

anything that keeps you from doing that

work Jesus and my text is eye-to-eye

with the man he healed and the man

doesn’t even recognize that he’s talking

to Jesus the Messiah because he’s so

wrapped up and confused and lost with

what happened in the process of his

miracle that God is standing right in

front of him and he doesn’t even realize

it and Decatur’s seeing God when he’s

right in front of you and this text it

stands to reason that the kid is singing

God is to acknowledge what he’s already

done because Jesus doesn’t tell him I am

the one who healed you he doesn’t

explain who he is

all he says is that you have already

seen any heat and are talking to the Son

of God right now in this moment he

triggers something in his mind that

makes him acknowledge that Jesus has

been there all along what if Jesus has

been here all along but because we were

focused on certain things and focused on

headlines and focused on relationships

and focused on our hustle that we missed

the fact that he had already done a

miracle in our life we just didn’t know

it was him so we’re wondering where is

God in the midst of this God where are

you and I hear guys saying you don’t

even see that I’ve been here all along

that even as you’re watching this

message right now that it is a sign that

God has been here all along that God

says I will never leave you nor forsake

you I’m gonna find a way to make sure

the word gets to you so Jesus has this

encounter with the blind man and he says

something so pivotal if you’re taking

notes this is the part that I really

want you to write down to hold in your

heart and never forget he has this back

and forth with the blind men and he says

to the blind men do you believe in the

Son of God and he doesn’t even know that

he’s had an encounter with God he just

knows that he had an encounter with the

man who was working remotely and Jesus

answers to him and says you have both

seen him and it is he who was talking

with you now and then he says Lord I

believe and he began to worship when the

blind man begins to worship there is a

divine exchange that happens when God

removes the blindness out of his spirit

god help me the man was blind physically

but it wasn’t until God removed his

blindness spiritually that he was able

to worship Him there are so many things

that keep us from seeing spiritually

disappointments heartbreaks life just

not going the way that we wanted to we

can become so blind spiritually that

literally we could be in the presence of

God and not even recognize it because we

have become so desensitized to the

presence but Jesus speaks this word and

it brings that man into remembrance and

he says Lord I believe but your belief

has to have an action attached to it it

says Lord I believe and he began to

worship if you really believe in this

season like never before there’s got to

be some action attached to it

you can’t just worship when it’s

convenient you got a worship every time

it’s brought back to your remembrance

what you believe I believe that word

believe when you break it down I was

get down while studying earlier it means

I have been persuaded Lord I’ve been

persuaded that is to bend you all along

I’ve been persuaded that when I was

blind you opened my eyes god I’ve been

persuaded that I even though I felt like

I was in that house by myself that you

kept making a way out of no way my my

parents couldn’t do it for me my

siblings didn’t fully understand me

but Father I am persuaded that you saw

me because now you’re using everything

that the enemy meant for evil and you’re

turning it for my good so lord I am

persuaded I want to be recruited I want

to work for you like never before and

the only response when you have been

recruited is to worship because you

recognized that God would use a fool

like me God you’ve been in my life all

this time and I just needed to accept

that you were there I needed to see that

you were there but you waited for me you

were patient Jesus didn’t get upset with

the blind man he didn’t get frustrated

with the blind man but he sat there and

he waited until he finally had the

Epiphany that it had been him all along

and this is the moment where we see that

Jesus didn’t just recruit disciples but

he recruited people who were willing to

wait and see that it was him maybe

you’re watching this message and you’ve

been thinking that some things were god

I want you to know that God is willing

to wait until you see him perhaps this

is your moment where you finally get to

have an encounter with God and you get

to say father I thought the job was just

because I knew the friend but I know

there is someone more qualified than me

but there was that you father I survived

after the heartbreak father I had to

bury my parents but I still found a way

to have joy again and I thought maybe it

was because I did XYZ but father I

really think it was you it’s been you

all this time

along your goodness was running after me

that I was running into the arms of this

person and that person and I thought

this person could heal me and I thought

that relationship would make me better

and that check would fulfill me but now

I realized that the only thing I needed

was you so Lord I’ve been persuaded I do

believe as my husband said that the

kingdom has an opportunity like never

before if you didn’t hear strategy in

the storm you got to watch that message

I believe like never before that the

kingdom has an opportunity to recruit

but we cannot just recruit with with

smooth words we have to be willing to

recruit with evidence personal evidence

that makes a person open up at their

eyes and say you are not where you are

because you’ve done everything the right

way or because everything worked out

perfectly there are people who had the

same formula the same background the

same family setting and they never got

out of there and they ended up in jail

and they ended up lost and broken you

had this opportunity not because you did

everything the right way but because

there was someone who was working things

that you couldn’t see my prayer is that

God would open your eyes not just to

opportunities but that he would open

your eyes spiritually that even in the

midst of this chaos that you would wake

up every morning and you would say wow

God that was you that opened my eyes

that you would look at the doctors and

the nurses who are there in the

hospitals and you would say that kind of

strength to stand up in this adversity

God that kind of strength can only come

from you got more strength and more

peace to them that you would begin to

see that he can even move in the midst

of the pandemic that he can move in the

midst of a broken home that God doesn’t

need a perfect setting you want that God

says I can

in and out of brokenness I can move in

and out of shattered pieces and if you

don’t believe me then just talk to

someone I recruited and they’ll show you

that I didn’t have to wait for their

lives to be perfect that all I needed

them to do was be willing to believe and

this is when Jesus tells us he says in

the last verse of my text he says for

judgment I have come into this world

that word judgment isn’t judgment like

we’re used to seeing it means

distinguish that Jesus came into the

world for there to be distinguishment

the distinguishment between those who do

not see but may see and those who see

but may be blind I love this because

that means that God is looking for

people who are blind so that he can show

them how to see and those who think that

they see everything you know everything

that they’re actually blind our perfect

position as a believer is recognizing as

much as I do see right now I know that

there’s still parts of my life still

parts of my world still parts of my

destiny that I am blind to so father I

believe and I trust you not because of

what I see but because of what I don’t

see and it is what I don’t see that will

ultimately allow me to become closer and

closer to you you’re listening to this

message and you want God to open your

eyes you thought the relationship would

do it you thought the job would do it

you thought the degree would do it but

there are parts of you that still feel

cast out right this blind man gets cast

out from the Pharisees because he needed

to see you’re not like them either

that’s how you’ve been feeling you’ve

been feeling like man I’m not like this

group and I’m not like that group and

I’m not like them over there I’m not

like them down there God Who am I liking

says I’m glad that you finally asked now

I can open your eyes I want to pray with

you my prayer is that we would not come

out of however long this season is going

to last and still be blind but that we

would come out of this season with our

eyes more open than ever before to what

God has been saying and doing all along

God all along you’ve been telling me I

need to spend more time with the kids

God all along you’ve been telling me

that my priorities are wrong God all

along you’ve been saying these things

and I ignore these things and now I have

no other fact but to look at exactly

where I am and what’s around me and make

a decision God wants you to open your

eyes spiritually before he does anything

else that you can see so I want to pray

with you I want you to do something

crazy right as I’m praying I want you to

close your eyes and as you’re closing

your eyes I feel the Spirit of God

opening your spirit there’s something

powerful I just thought about that

there’s something powerful in prayer

when we close our eyes because it forces

us to be sensitive and now that we’re

sensitive we can sense things that maybe

we couldn’t have seen had we just been

looking with our eyes I wonder what God

wants to show you that you cannot see

because you’ve been looking at it

physically maybe God just wants you to

close your eyes for a minute Spirit of

God

we’re closing our physical eyes and

giving you permission to open our

spiritual eyes father we recognize that

we are not here to just have a vacation

and enjoy life and be fulfilled but we

are here because you sent us on a

mission Father awaken our hearts to what

that mission is awaken our souls and

awaken our spirit that we would not live

in this world selfishly but that we

would wake up hungry to do your work

that we would wake up hungry like Jesus

determined to do the work of our Father

recognizing that there’s gonna come a

day when no work can be done we may not

be here forever we may not be in this

city forever we may not be in this job

forever so father what is it that you

want me to do in this season that I am

he in here for God Jesus knew that there

was something else waiting for him

outside of the moment but he was so in

tune with what needed to be done in the

moment that he wasn’t looking to escape

he was looking to fulfill the word that

needed to be manifested in that moment I

hear guys saying

same is true for you I have worked for

you to do in this moment that only you

can do so by the open our eyes to who we

must become and what we must do in order

to regain our position working remotely

for You Father forgive us we repent for

making life just about us we repent

father we Exeter would help us to change

our mind Father for for allowing things

to let us miss the mark

the addiction made us miss the mark the

relationship made us miss the mark but

you are so gracious that you will take

everything that happened to us and wipe

it clear and snow you’re gonna make it

work together so far for our good that

we will look back and say God I don’t

know how you did it but you have made a

believer out of me father help us to not

just receive our position and to

manifest it in our lives but to do it

with such fierceness and such power that

we end up recruiting more and more

people for your kingdom we receive this

word allow it to take root and produce

fruit in our lives father that the

generations may be blessed as a result

of what just took place inside of us in

Jesus name and then activate we love you

so much
