you gotta have a theme you got to have a
title so my title for today’s is you’re
closer than you think you’re closer get
closer you’re closer than you think
and I want us to look at mark the sixth
chapter and we’re going to look at the
first six verses of Mark and it’s not an
unfamiliar passage of Scripture if
you’ve been reading your Bible it’s an
interesting story and and and I’ve got
to admit that I’ve recently I’m looking
at this passage differently and I want
to give you the backdrop the backdrop
those things that preceded this chapter
what happened was Jesus prior to here
was supernaturally turned up I mean he
is so supercharged he is healing
everybody of everything everywhere I
mean he’s just walking by and women with
issues of blood are pressing their way
to him saying if I could just touch the
hem of His garment I’ll behold so people
are just touching him and he’s getting
and they’re getting healed he’s raising
people from the dead people are coming
to him saying my daughter is dying and
she dies and he raises her back up to
life I mean Jesus as it relates to power
and ability and ministry I mean
multitudes are following him he’s
preaching profound wisdom I mean as it
relates to those things he is at the top
of this game well I mean and people are
flocking to Jesus because they are
getting from Jesus what they cannot get
any place else they are walking for
miles upon miles to get to this man that
they have never even seen they have just
heard of what he has done and as a
result of their faith and their
desperation they are moving they’re
trying to get to Jesus
people are taking off roofs and being
lowered in
two houses trying to get to this man
Jesus because this man Jesus is doing
things that have never been done before
his room is healing people wow I never
looked at it that way and people’s lives
are changing it is just crazy and then
this happens it says now when he had
when he had went out from there where is
there the place the place where he was
pursued passionately and desperately and
as a result of him being pursued
passionately and desperately people were
seeing things that they have never seen
before happen so when he goes out from
there and came to his own country and
his disciples followed him and when the
Sabbath had come he began to teach in
the synagogue it’s the same thing he was
doing in those other places and many
hearing him were astonished does that
sound like what we talked about last
week and many hearing him were
astonished saying where did this man get
these it seems that they’re doing okay
but watch the turn and what wisdom is
this which is given to him that such
mighty works are performed by his hands
that were doing okay right but watch the
turn is this not the carpenter the son
of Mary and the brother James Joseph
Judas and Simon and are not his sister’s
here with us so they were offended at
him I don’t understand oh he just came
from these places where people are
pursuing him they’re fighting to get to
him
and as a result of it they’re getting
heal from all
diseases things they’ve had forever and
and here he’s doing the same thing he’s
just walking and talking and teaching
and these mighty works are there but for
some reason when he gets to his own
country this familiar rarity factor
kicks in and now they like yeah I see
all this foot wait a minute
hey ain’t you married oh boy and an
aren’t you solar cells brother and in
fact your sisters are hanging out with
us even to this day and they were
offended at him in verse four it says
but jesus said to them man a prophet is
not without honor except in his own
country among his own relatives and in
his own house and it says now he could
do no mighty work there except that he
laid his hands on a few sick people and
healed them and he marveled because of
their unbelief then he went about the
villages in a circuit teaching I at the
root of this message prophetically for
you is I believe that God has a lot more
for you that you have not tapped into
yet I will come down and talk to you so
bad
as I was praying the word that he gave
me for you is that where you are versus
where God wants to take you what you
have versus what God wants to bring into
your life what you are walking in versus
what God wants you to walk in are two
completely different things and the only
problem is perception
it was the same Jesus the same miracles
the same power the same authority that
was working tremendously over here but
could do very little over there it
wasn’t that he lacked the power it was
that they lacked the perception that
would unlock that power in their own
life but what got me was it says that I
used to when I when I read that story
when I used to read that story I Loki
used to feel sorry for Jesus I did
because here is Jesus
humble lowly Jesus and everybody outside
of his own family are being moved by him
are being blessed by him and then Jesus
besides his own come home be amongst
loved ones friends family and relatives
and surely they are going to welcome him
and celebrate him as the powerful
Messiah that he was but instead they
questioned him reject him and ultimately
are offended by him and in my immaturity
I just saw a picture of Jesus walking
away sad saying a prophet ain’t got no
honor and the truth of the matter is I
still feel very sorry about the text but
I don’t feel sorry for Jesus I feel
sorry for those who had proximity but no
promise and one of the things that I’m
learning as I begin to walk with God
more and more is that availability and
accessibility are two completely
different things because the power was
present to heal when he showed up in his
own country but because they were seeing
him right they could not access what was
available what in your life right now
might be so close to you
that it could kiss you in your mouth but
because you are so familiar with it
you can’t get no
[Applause]
oh-oh-oh
what becomes too familiar to you you
will inevitably take for granted
Oh take my time and sometimes our very
faith becomes common Jesus in our lives
that’s why people say Jesus is my
homeboy and I know the t-shirts and some
of you probably got t-shirt and I’m not
mad at you but but but I don’t know if
you should look at him that way because
Jesus is not my homeboy
I got homeboys and I’m fond of my
homeboys and I love my homeboys and they
add things to my life that that nobody
else you have but but Jesus is not my
homeboy because it is my homeboy he
cannot be my god because none of my
homeboys oh my god and sometimes we get
so comfortable with Jesus that we cannot
receive because what I’ve learned is
according to your ability to honor on a
certain level on the level that you
honor will be the level that you receive
and so Jesus is a tiny just sweet little
babies is my homie you’re gonna miss the
god factor when Jesus is your homie
because your homies cannot work miracles
in your life your homie cannot open
doors that no man can shut so even with
our faith even with our faith we get
familiar we walk up in church
and we’re just like oh praise God so
good to be here let’s see what happens
instead of walking into just like this
is the day this is the day that will my
Baptist go I’m about to go ahead and
make him up well uh huh come on choir Oh
that’s enough have enough that’s good my
best day bout to go in about to go in so
what I’m getting at is even even even
our faith becomes common we’re not
excited about it it’s just it’s just
there and and we’re happy about it and
we’re cool but we don’t have this sense
of awe over our faith and when we don’t
have this sense of awe over our faith in
our relationship with God what God can
do in our life becomes restricted there
was only one problem the miracles were
there the power was there Jesus was
there the only thing that was lacking
was honour and anything that you do not
honor will one day leave you it’s going
to leave you because because because I
got the four points like I said but but
I want to get to because because because
everything that God has created has a
reward in it it does and the way that
you get the reward out of it is through
honor and that’s why in a marriage or in
a relationship the moment that you get
too comfortable and too familiar where
you stop being in awe you are going to
start missing the treasure that the
other person has in them because the
only thing that will activate the
release of that treasure is your honor
okay all right all right I’m telling you
you stop saying thank you
you saw thank you so much oh thank you
and let that person give and you don’t
say thank you or you don’t celebrate or
appreciate what they give I guarantee
you they’ll stop giving honor is
powerful honor is to say I’m valuable it
to say I’m worth something so Jesus was
there the miracles were there the power
there the only thing missing was honor
but what got me was it says that I used
to feel like like Jesus
I felt like Jesus got his feelings hurt
and he walked away sad and mumbled to
himself a prophet is not without honor
except in his own country and he had to
go into other towns where he was
celebrated right he didn’t stay around
where he was tolerated he went to where
he was celebrated that’s what I used to
think and I do believe in that principle
I do but there was something that jumped
out at me and those words that made me
think a little differently it says he
marveled because of their unbelief it
says then he went about the village is
what villages those same villages he
went about he went around those villages
in a circuit teaching so if if this were
his own country and he went there and he
he tried to do his thing and they
rejected him it doesn’t say he left per
se it just says he went around it says
in a circuit this is right there in a
circle in a circle teaching so he didn’t
leave he just circled it and so I
stopped asking myself Lord white why did
you circle it why didn’t you just go cuz
I thought like as I read earlier I
thought that when that happened he just
went to other places he didn’t leave he
just went on the outside he stay
clothes and he kept teaching he kept
doing his thing but he stayed close and
I said why and then God gave me this
analogy and I thought about when you’re
on an airplane and you have a
destination and you’re the part of an
airplane you got a deposit of people to
bring into the airport sometimes when
the runway is not clear you can’t land
and so what do you do you circle because
you you are determined to get there and
because you got a deposit to make you’ve
got some people that need to get
somewhere you determined to get
somewhere but but as long as there are
things on the runway prohibiting your
landing then you keep circling and
flying around and I thought about it I
said God wants to do some things in our
lives but we’ve got things on the runway
of our lives that are prohibiting Jesus
Airlines from landing on our runway
there things in the way and so I want to
talk about I want to give you four
things that we must do or think four
ideas I will clear the runway so that
that miracle can land as God desires it
tell anybody the miracle near for real
anybody need to see something that that
you cannot produce by yourself so I want
to so because you’re close you’re closer
than you think as a matter of fact I
believe that the miracle is circling
some of you right now it’s circling some
of you it’s close its close but but
there’s not enough room on your runway
for this big gigantic thing that Jesus
wants to bring to land so he has to
circle but he has that left and the
promise of not gone and what I wanted to
tell you you’re closer than you think
what God promised you is closer than you
think but there are some things that you
have to remove
out of the way so that he can land the
first one the first thing you have to do
is you have to release irrelevant
questions you have to release irrelevant
questions you know it’s funny if we go
back to the text so Jesus comes it comes
to the synagogue he’s teaching he’s
preaching they’re astonished it’s going
so well they’re astonished at what he’s
doing it’s amazing Wow these words and
his mighty works Wow and then these
fools start asking questions
where did this man get these things let
me tell you something when you need a
miracle I don’t care if you stole it
from 7-eleven if it shows up that’s
between you and 70 left I got nothing to
do with that if I’m thirsty and I pray
to God for some water and you show up
with the water that ain’t none of my
business about I mean it you’ve got to
figure that out I pray I got nothing to
do with that you all work that out okay
all I know irrelevant questions
where did this man get these things and
what wisdom is this which is given that
such mighty works are performed by his
head who cares and what happens in our
own lives is God trying to move in our
lives and we’ve got all these doggone
questions okay god I know you said this
but what’s going to happen over there
and if I do this over there then what’s
how’s this going to work and how’s it
going to work out and I hear God saying
every time you ask a question the plane
continues to circle because the runway
is filled with irrelevant questions that
do not matter and you’re asking me these
questions by you asking me these
questions you are proving to me that you
do not know who I am you do not know
that all I got to do is fake a thing and
it’s done I don’t have to answer to you
if I say it’s going to happen happen too
many questions on the runway and every
time you question and every moment you
spend questioning is another loop in the
air irrelevant questions I’ll be honest
with you some things and none of your
business all you know is that you afraid
God promised you heard it and what you
do from that point is you set everything
in your life into the ready ready
position in anticipation for what is to
come knowing that everything that is
needed to be worked out is already
worked out it’s not your job to clean up
where God has shown up
it’s got your job they start asking
questions and and what’s crazy is the
moment that they begin to ask questions
everything is going downhill when the
staff Academy began to teach in the
synagogue a mini hearing and where a
stylist
that’s going really good but then they
start asking question is that something
start going down here what did this man
get this thing get these things watch
the progress in the questioning what did
this man get these things and what
wisdom is this which is given to him
that such mighty works are performed by
his hands then watch this and keep going
the question to keep going is that this
the carpenter son of Mary and brother of
Jesus Joseph Judas and Simon and are not
his sister’s here with us so they were
offended in him their questions talked
them out of their miracle did you see it
they started off astonished they left
off offended simply because they gave
themselves over to irrelevant questions
I’m thinking about the faith of the
Centurion remember the Centurion in
Scripture read the whole Bible it’s in
their promises but there’s a Centurion
and he’s a Roman soldier and a Centurion
sent Centennial he was over a thousand
he was over a thousand soldiers right
this Roman soldier caught a Centurion
and I love it because he has this
encounter where his servant was sick
right he’s not even Jewish right he’s
not even a person of the faith so to
speak but he had heard of Jesus but he
didn’t have that familiar thing and so
he goes to Jesus and he says eases my my
servant is sick can you please heal my
servant jesus said yeah let me come to
your house and healing and and and the
SIRT and the Centurion said no no you
only have to come to my house I
understand how this works I’m a man of
authority he said speaker work just
speak a word and my servant will be
healed and watch how Jesus responds to
this good job guys
and he goes on and he says well for I’m
also a man under Authority having
soldiers under me this isn’t Centurion
talking to Jesus and I say to this one
go and he goes and to another come and
he comes into my servant do this and he
does it and then watch this encounter
when Jesus heard it he marvelled right
see count Jesus is marveling because of
unbelief in another account he is
marveling because of the leaf but look
at what he says when Jesus heard it he
marvelled and he said to those who
followed assuredly I say to you I have
not found such great faith not even in
Israel in other words not even amongst
those who are supposed to believe see
the Centurions gonna have a whole bunch
of irrelevant questions here I don’t
even need you I don’t have to figure out
how you gonna here I just know that if
you put your word on it if you just
speak this word that says that that my
service is going to be healed I don’t
have to ask questions about how you’re
going to do is you don’t even have to
come to my house I just believe it
because you said it I am desperate for
your word because the word has power but
what happens when we get too familiar
with Jesus and we get too familiar with
faith and we get too familiar with our
relationship with God his abilities in
our lives become diminished release
those irrelevant questions are some of
you right now and the plane wants to
land who that’s a plane with the things
that God is after the Lord things that
God has promised you but the only
problem is your runway is not ready the
first thing is release the irrelevant
questions the second thing is you have
to restore your aw and you wonder
man let’s just keep it on you I think
man I think we’re spoiled right you all
with God and God starts blessing you and
and and and this is all of us right
right I’m holding my hand up okay
we can’t spoil man God so good to us
he just blesses us and doors open all
that kind of stuff man and life is good
and you know and paycheck-to-paycheck
ain’t happy no more you got 17 dollars
left over when it’s all done now and and
and your life seems to kind of settle I
get uncomfortable when things get too
comfortable I’ve been walking with God
long enough to know that I actually need
to meet God you understand what I’m
saying I kind of like need I need to
meet God because because I do need God
and need me needing to need God is an
acknowledgment that I need God but
sometimes I don’t think I need God so I
need to meet God because I only have
truth when I need to need God because I
do need him all the time but sometimes
because my needs are met I don’t think I
needed I was thinking about in that text
I was thinking about it said that he
couldn’t do many works there could do
many mind works
it says except for a few people that
needed healing and I thought about that
and I said who must these few people
have been they be probably look at them
other people like yeah yeah y’all just
be comfortable yeah he’s familiar he see
others get out the way because as soon
as I get a straight shot at Jesus I’ve
been holding on to this illness and this
ailment for a long time yeah y’all don’t
believe if you want to I’m a rush right
in there because there will always be a
few desperate people there will always
be a few people that will seize
opportunities that we leave on the
table hmm I’m trying figure out to say
this right I one of my greatest fears is
for somebody to be hungrier for God than
me and lay hold of my destiny that I was
too comfortable and familiar with in
order to lay hold out oh I feel right
there see there’s some people in this
room right now and your advantage is
your hunger I feel it right there boy
I want to impart hunger your advances is
your hunger because what has happened is
God has blessed so many people and they
have eaten so much they’ve eaten so much
that they have gotten comfortable and
they’re not hungry for the things of God
because they think that they have
reached the end of what God is going to
do in their life but how many of us know
all you got to do is stay hungry and you
go from level to level from glory to
glory because as wide as you can open
your mouth
will be the capacity in which God feels
you don’t get comfortable stay hungry
I’m thinking about those few people who
got healed and who knows what the
healing was but they’re like oh okay you
coming by yeah and they probably were in
the crowd faking like it ain’t but
Mary’s baby yeah and let the crowd
dispersed and they went right in there
we got to restore our ah and I wonder I
remember there was a pastor from Africa
I think God for Africa and it was a
pastor from Africa and he said something
that convicted me and I’m it’s about ten
years ago and he said something that
convicted me and he said you in the West
he said you guys believe in God true he
said we in Africa we depend on God in
rats me
it rats me it wrecked me because he was
absolutely right and that’s why people
are being raised from the dead in Africa
that’s why blind eyes are opening in
Africa that’s why the lame is walking in
Africa it’s the same Jesus the same
Jesus the same opportunity for healing
and breakthrough the same miracle
working power the only difference is the
hunger the only difference is the
perspective I want I want God to restore
our ahh and I want to we come in is this
this tabernacle the cominis this place
where God meets us my god what are you
going to do today he think about his
disciples they didn’t leave all
following him because they saw him as
ordinary common or playing they win on
this incredible journey with Jesus
because every day was an adventure one
day there was a dilemma that looked like
two fish and five loaves of bread
amongst 10,000 people right because it’s
5,000 plus women and children so
arguably 10,000 people to fish and five
loaves of bread
they went from dilemma to miracle and
all of a sudden all these people are
being fed people coming up to Jesus lame
and crippled and blind and Jesus healing
them they were like there is we don’t
know what’s going to happen today we
just know that Jesus got it and it’s
going to be awesome and they left
everything and followed him
I want that type of all I want to wake
up every day with Jesus saying what are
we going to do today what’s going to
happen today so these people who were
too familiar with Jesus could not even
see they live
two different universes one universe of
limitations and the others live in a
universe where all things were possible
and the only difference was their
perception and so the question is what
world do you want to live in did you
want to live in a world where Jesus
wants to show up but he can’t show up
because you haven’t created enough space
for him or do you want to live in the
world where you work hard and you press
into clearing the runway so that your
God can land the plane and have things
show up in your life going to beyond
anything you could have ever imagined
that’s where we get into the second
thing is restore your awe and your
wonder the third thing is this never
lack honor honor is everything as I
mentioned before everything that God
creates has a reward in it right now you
have a reward in you there’s something
that God has placed on the inside of you
and if someone honors you properly the
best of you will come out are you
tracking anything like I believe I
believe in every human being I’m sound
care what you’ve been through I don’t
care what’s going on I don’t care you
down how you could be on the street on
the sidewalk
drinking whatever it because I know
what’s in you and so literally I honor
everybody because I know if there’s
something in you and not only is there
something in you that I want to see God
bring out but if it comes out
I got a rewarding that too but never
never ever lack honor it was interesting
I was at a I was at a conference this
weekend my father-in-law’s conferences
in gallus this weekend is amazing
pastors and leaders conference and and
in this one particular session
I watched via live stream because I
didn’t make it in that morning and I
watch the via livestream and they’re
people who come from all around the
world to sit at the feet and hear the
wisdom of a man that I sit down with and
have dinner with you know on a regular
write for me it’s dinner and
conversation to them it’s life
and I was blown away because I sat there
and and he was given away he had some I
guess like like a DVD series or a tape
series or whatever for leaders and he
had ten to give away and it’s his room
and eight thousand people are in this
room and he says you know a I’ve got
I’ve got ten of these things I want to
give away I want to give it to the first
ten ten passes that come down here right
of a room for the eight thousand I’ll be
honest with you I wouldn’t have run down
there and it’s not because I don’t
admire him or respect him 11 I’d notice
that there was something in there but I
just wasn’t hungry enough because quite
possibly I wasn’t seeing him right you
should have seen those pastors
particularly the ones who were from
other countries jump up and run down
there and by the time you know we
stopped the heard is about twenty people
he had to give Tim Moore away and
someone just hit in my head and I
started thinking like they see him right
and so and it was time for him to lay
hands on them right and I’m like oh
they’re getting ready to receive because
and it’s not because there is anything
different as it relates to anointing
between that day and another day but it
was the hunger in the room that when it
was time for him to lay hands he
wouldn’t even have had to land all he
would have to was just breeze on them
because their honor and their
expectation was at such a level that
they had already received before he even
touched him and they were falling out
all over the place and I thought about
it and I thought about my own kids and I
have literally hundreds of thousands of
people around the world getting their
life changed by the anointing that’s on
my life and sometimes the people who are
the closest to me are the most difficult
ones to get it to where I’m pastoring
people that are in the same demographic
as you they’re getting their life
changed by it and it’s just dad at
dinner to you isn’t that interesting
sometimes the miracle is right in front
of you but because you’re so familiar
you can’t get it I feel that for
somebody you’re closer than you think
for some of you right now what you’ve
been praying for is in front of you just
like it was in front of them but because
of proximity the appropriate honor
slipped whereas you could be healed and
you could be so much further you’re
lacking honor I feel this with
somebody’s luggage that’s something
prophetic you’re mad at your boss
you’re mad at your boss you’re mad at
someone who is ahead of you and when you
decide to honor them something’s going
to be released because people that are
above you have a reward to give you but
if you are always sizing them up I’ll
sell it right there see see there’s no
authority that does not come from God no
authority so if someone is ahead of you
in their career they have authority over
you in that area and you can hate on
them all you want to but God took them
there you don’t like it the Bible says
all authorities are doing by God you can
hate on it all you want to but if they
are ahead of you there is something in
them that if you honor properly they
will release to you David let me tell
you something we’ve almost done in a
minute about an hour David
David understood this David was anointed
king and he was anointed king while Saul
was still positionally the King and
David honored so even though Sol was
trying to kill him Sol was throwing
javelins at him he was jealous of him
he’s throwing javelins and he said his
army out to get him but David never ever
attacked Saul he always honored Saul
because he knew that what God had for
him was for him and he was not going to
violate divine principles trying to lay
hold of something that was his already
if he would maintain his integrity are
you hearing me what God has for you is
for you there is no devil in hell no man
that can stop oh I feel God so what you
do is you just keep on honoring oh I
want to come down and talk to you but my
livestream people would be disadvantaged
I hear that strongly you need to submit
you need to humble yourself god help me
to see this person right because I don’t
like them but they got something on the
inside of me that I need help me honor
them so that I can get what belongs to
me because sometimes God will hide your
miracle in someone you hate because it’s
not just you getting it’s you becoming
and God want you to become before he
allows you to have because it’s always
about who you become would that be just
by God to bury the treasure of your
destiny in someone you can’t stand
because I have to become somebody to get
it
and lastly talking about clearing the
runway you’d have to create and live in
the atmosphere of faith I’m going to say
this and I’m done sometimes your runway
is too small for the plane that God
wants to land in your life faith you
think it’s a delay it’s not a delay God
is just giving you time to expand your
faith Wow God makes a promise God gives
you a word and when it gives you the
word there’s a measure of faith in that
word but it’s just a measure faith that
measure of faith has to grow and grow
and grow and grow to become big enough
to to receive the word that God spoke
it’s not here because my faith is not
there
I have faith for something that is about
a third of the size of what he promised
I’m not there yet are you tracking with
me it’s not that you’re waiting on God
this is what I’m telling you I’m saying
as I’m done I’ve learned since I’ve been
walking with God and I’ve seen blessings
from level to level here is one of the
number one things that I’ve learned I
have never been waiting on God he has
been waiting on me to grow up and Simba
tour and to expand in faith enough to
receive the moment that my faith got on
the level of that thing the thing
appeared not a second sooner faith is
this now faith is the substance of
things hoped for it is the evidence of
things not seen
so when God gives me a word he gives me
faith but my faith has to grow up and
when my faith has matured to the size of
the miracle not a second sooner nor a
second later the moment that my faith is
equal to what he promised it manifests
[Applause]
clearing the runway often times has to
do with moving the debris of doubt
off the landing strip long will shoulder
what I brought you here or what you came
here to receive is that there’s more and
when your faith becomes common when
anything it becomes common and familiar
when your faith becomes common when you
lose your wonder of Jesus and you lose
your being aw struck about Jesus did you
come in here saying Jesus I can’t wait
to meet you in the house amongst
believers but as you come saying I’m
excited but let’s see what happens in
church I want I want my prayer for you
is so much bigger than Church my prayer
for you is that there is a revival that
happens in you and that there is a
restoration of awe and wonder at his
name that he that he’s not your homeboy
because he’s not stopped at he ain’t
that could be a part of him but not
delete I don’t even like it to be honest
with you to each his own whatever but I
think that you lose something when you
bring Jesus too low I think you lose
something when you bring him too low
like you dab in with Jesus maybe but not
all not so much
I’m not dabbing Jesus
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
know what I’m saying
I’m grateful thank you for saving me
thank you for not allowing me to die
thank you that I’m in my right mind
thank you for bringing me through that
and that and that over there and that
back there you know my homeboy in my
king you’re my leader and I’ll follow
you if you’re here i’ma pray for you if
you’re here and you need to recommit
your honor to Jesus you need to recommit
your life to him if you’re here when you
say I want for my off and my wonder in
the Lord to be restored I want you to
come and leave me here this also right
now you’re hearing God speaking to you
you’re closer than you think
God’s been circling you know you know
why he was circling you know why he
didn’t leave cause he loves them and he
knew that it wasn’t even that they were
evil it wasn’t even that that was
keeping them from honoring him it was
that it was just a cry be too familiar
and they knew he knew he’s like I ain’t
going too far
i’ma keep circling I’ma be out in the
village I’m gonna keep teaching because
they don’t get it they’re gonna get who
I am and things are going to open out
they’re going to open up I see it Oh
hallelujah
gods will open your eyes see you Mike
and they’re going to be astonished again
and the debris of doubt and anxiety is
going to be removed from your runway
you’re not going to lack on it you’re
going to honor God and you’re going to
honor others you’re going to honor
others some people right now and the
problem in your marriage or the problem
in your relationship is that you’ve
gotten too comfortable you’ve gotten too
familiar the problem in your church you
can’t even receive from your pastor
that’s why you know I like to to get
close to people but there’s a part of me
that doesn’t want to because the moment
that you see a little bit of my humanity
you will no longer be able to receive
the fullness of my divinity and that’s
the crazy conflict and that’s one of the
reasons why I don’t let people get real
close
and it’s not that I’m being aloof it’s
not that it’s better for you for you to
stay at a distance so that you all
always see me right it’s better for you
because the reality of it is the best
part of me is what you see right here is
the anointing and the words that comes
out of my mouth
trust me it’s better for you
better for me it’s better for you if
there’s differences because very few
people are mature enough to handle both
humanity and divinity in the same flight
he’s got stuff for he’s got things for
you and it’s awesome because it’s like
getting saved all over again I think
every day we ought to get saved all over
again the joy of our salvation every
single day god I thank you for my
salvation I thank you for waking me up
this morning I think you did I have my
right mind
I thank you that I can walk and talk I
thank you that you’re still working in
my life I think that the best is still
yet to cover I think you still work in
miracles every single day Oh God
Oh creates space on your runway forgot
to land his miracle airliner he’s
circling but I think he’s getting ready
to land
I think he’s getting ready to land in
some of your lives I see it that planes
gonna land because you made room I
remember Oh God time suck I remember
i’ma tell a story I remember I was I was
flying in somewhere from somewhere and I
was flying in and the plane was getting
ready to land
and just imagine you’re getting ready to
land you start landing and then all of a
sudden right before you can read land
the plane pulls back up into the scare
I’ve never experienced anything like
that before and then he started circling
again and I said what happened and he
said at the last minute we were landing
but at the last minute some sort of
equipment got on the runway and I had to
pull up again if you’re here and you
know you need to be down here if God was
speaking to you
throughout the entire service and you
felt the Holy Spirit if you didn’t
that’s fine I’m not talking to you
that’s not you but you felt the Holy
Spirit throughout the entire service
touching you and your chest saying he’s
talking to me and you were getting ready
to warm out of here because there’s some
irrelevant questions that came in your
spirit something that came on the runway
and beginning to block you I want you to
come and meet me here at this altar I’m
beyond the time but but I just got that
end God bless you I’d be god bless you I
see you come just come we’re going to
pray and something’s what happens just
come just come we’re going to pray and
something wonderful and amazing it’s
going to take place just come just come
just come just come let’s come just come
father here we are and Lord it is almost
normal for us to take you for granted
how could we not when you are so good
when your mercy endures forever when
your goodness and mercy follows us all
the days of our lives when you shower us
with blessing and goodness when you are
slow to chasing us how could we not take
you for granted
and God we’re here to say we need you to
help us to not father I thank you for
your sons and daughters here at this
altar I think you got their hearts to
receive this message today and because
they had hearts to receive this message
today you’re doing a new work in their
life and God you told me that more is
coming that is the good news of all of
this that more that greater is on its
way all because we were willing to allow
you to change our perspective Lord we
repent and we renounce Lord any
spiritual disposition that would assume
that you are common you’re not just
Mary’s baby
you’re not just Jesus the carpenter
you’re God you are Savior you are our
Redeemer you are a miracle worker every
time we had irrelevant questions when
you told us to move forgive us and today
we’re taking up our questions that we’re
saying God it is none of our business
if you say go we’ll go if you say do we
will do and father we honor you and Lord
we’re going to prove it in our daily
disciplines when we get up in the
morning the first thing we’re going to
do is we’re going to give you thanks
when we roll out of bed the first place
that we’re going to stop is on our knees
that say thank you Jesus please be with
us in this day and God we’re going to
get rid of the doubt so that we can
create a space for the miracle that you
have promised I thank you for your love
for every person here and thank you God
for circling you could have gone on to
someone else you could have said I’m
going to give that destiny but somebody
who’s hungry but you didn’t do that at
all you said I’m going to keep circling
because I know that me who have done who
have begun a good work in you shall
complete it until the day of Jesus
Christ so we thank you for not leaving
us nor forsaking us but circling and now
god with arms stretched wide we say God
you can land now you have found a worthy
runway and now you can land we thank you
God please repeat after me Heavenly
Father I thank you for your love I
receive it Heavenly Father I thank you
for your grace it is abundant I thank
you for this word
you spoke to me you called me and I
embrace it I thank you for Jesus thank
you for making him who had no sin all of
mine all of my weakness all of my
shortcoming all of my failure you placed
in his body nailed it to the cross
and put it to death once and for all but
just as you raised him up free and
victorious because I’m in him
I’m raised up to my past is behind me my
future is greater and today god I honor
you new
