  Speaker 1: If you've ever had a moment in your life that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you have measured yourself and come up short. If you've
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: ever poured yourself into an individual, a company, a ministry,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a place or thing and didn't get the results you expected.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: If you've ever been good to somebody who wasn't good back.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: This message is for you. If you've ever given your
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: best to somebody and they act like it wasn't nothing
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: at all. Then this one. I don't know about next
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: week or the week after that, but this one is
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm going to talk about the fight with frustration.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: The fight with frustration.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: This is the part of time. Welcome to The Potter's Touch.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I am your host for today, Sarah Jakes. And this
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: message is for anyone who's frustrated with things not going
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the way they hoped they would. Instead of throwing in
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the towel and saying, I've had enough, Bishop Jakes has
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a very special message for you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Perhaps I should take a moment and digress, if you will,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and just cause you to understand, for those who might
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not be aware, that this is Moses, the pastor of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament. Bad. One day I'm going to do
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a leadership book just on Moses alone. I've learned more
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: about leadership from Moses. He's absolutely amazing. His name means
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: drawn out. He was called out of the water. God
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: calls a leader out of the baby who was called
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: out of the water and calls a nation out of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the leader, drawing them out. There's always with God a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: drawing out.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: All those who are spiritual say ooh. God draws things
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: out of you, things you didn't even know you had
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in you. He's always drawing them out of you. They
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: don't always appear instantaneously, but over time, God uses life
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to draw things out of you you didn't even know
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you had. Moses is a derivative of life experience. It
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: took a while, but God drew him out. Oh, it
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: only took a moment to draw the baby out of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the water, but it took a while to draw the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: leader out of the baby. If I say nothing else,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I have preached with that alone. It only takes a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: moment to draw the baby out of the cradle, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it takes a while to draw the woman out of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the baby. The baby comes out of the woman much
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: quicker than the woman comes out of the baby. See
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the labor. The water breaks, the baby comes, boom. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: bring the baby out of the woman and then you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: spend The next 40 years trying to bring the woman
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out of the baby. I suggest to you that all
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: life is is a delivery room. Constantly drawing out of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you things you didn't even know you had in you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He was raised to think like an Egyptian but he
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: had the blood of a Hebrew and the fighting he
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: saw in the street was the fighting he had on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the inside. You know what it is to have a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: fight on the inside while you deal with fights on
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the outside. It is easier to stop the fight on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the outside than it is the one on the inside.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He kills a man and stops the fight on the outside.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And for 40 years, the would-be prince is now an
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: outlaw running from what could have been his heir apparent.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Now he runs into the wilderness, not even a slave
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: but a runaway convict hiding from justice. And there he
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: has an encounter with God. And God says, go to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the very place that you're running from. And tell Pharaoh,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I said, let my people go. This is an amazing moment.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You told me to take my time, so I'm going
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to do it. This is an amazing moment, not only
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: because he goes back to the very place that he's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: running from and he has to face what he's afraid of.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's something all by itself. But it's an amazing moment
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: because he gets to become the leader of the people
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that he is connected to but never got to bond with.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It's like getting your family back. It's like making your
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: cultural connection. Motiv comes back to Egypt. To lead his
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: people out of Egypt. This is. There's a personal investment here.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Because now he's connected. With his brothers. Brother. God is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: such a great idea. In the mix. With my people.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Connected with your culture. It's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: wonderful thing. Feels good in theory. Sounds amazing. We eat
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the same stuff. We like the same colors. We dance
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and move the same. It's cool hanging out with my folks,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: especially when you never had it. But sometimes things are
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: better in your head than they are in real life.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So he comes to his own people and he starts
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: leading them out and he's got God's power and he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: got God's hand and he's got God's might and he's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: trying to lead them out of something bad into something
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: good and you think they would like you because you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: know you want to be liked because you're back. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: he's leading them out from slavery and they're fighting the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one who's leading them out. Moses has been dealing with
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: these nincompoops for 120 years. Did I call him nincompoops?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to spell nincompoops, but it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: felt good to say that. He has been through hell
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and high water. The kind of stuff you go through
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that only life can teach you. Life is a university.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: My mother was absolutely right. It is absolutely a university life.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And whether you want to take the class or not,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you got to take them every day. Life will teach
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you some stuff. He has been up and down. He's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: been around and around and around. They've been through snake bites.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: They've been through famine. They've been through pestilence. They've been
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: attacked by the Amalekites. They've been through hell and high water.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And he's been through all of it. A whole generation
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of them died in the wilderness because of their hateful murmuring,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: complaining ways. And now he's leading their kids and the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: father had bit on sour grapes and the teeth of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the children are set on the edge. What does Bishop
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: mean by that? What Bishop means is that the kids
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are nasty because the parents are nasty. The children have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: unbelief because the parents had unbelief. I'm saying that they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have inherited the attributes of their parents. They're just as
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: hateful as their daddies were. And he's dealing with a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: fresh generation of hatred and he's old. Can I speak
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a word on behalf of the AARP? Children are for
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: young people. You need energy to give children what they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: really need. To laugh and run and frolic after you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: get home from work, you need to be 20-something. When
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you get like 60-something... Your laughter box breaks in three minutes.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Your patience runs out real quick. What you thought was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: cute when you were 20, you are welding a machete
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: at when you're 50. They're the reason why old women
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: shouldn't get pregnant. Don't even write me. I'm not reading it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Don't even write me. Moses is in that stage and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: these people are in this stage. The difference is their
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: fathers died in the wilderness. But this is the chosen
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: generation that will go over into the promised land. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: so God says to Moses, we're going to do that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: thing that we did before. Only this time I want
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you to speak to the rock. Now, the people have
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: been murmuring and complaining. And Moses comes to God and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: says they're doing that thing their parents did. You know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: when you have first generation trouble, you got patients. faith.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But when it keeps coming up again and again and again,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they're doing that thing their parents did. They're murmuring and complaining.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So God says, we're going to do that thing we
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: did before, but we're going to modify it a little bit.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Instead of smiting the rock like you did the first time,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: God says, speak to the rock and the rock will
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: bring forth water. And Mother says, cool, cool. Cool. I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: breaking it down for you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: People were frustrated with the leader, and now the leader
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is frustrated with the people. He should have spoke to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the rock, but because he had unresolved issues with the people,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it boiled over, and now he speaks to the people
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: when he should have been speaking to the rock. Are
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you speaking to the people instead of speaking to the rock?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You have no idea what I'm thinking. I can't take
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this anymore.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Tell frustration you had enough.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Are you speaking to the people instead of speaking to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the rock? Are you carrying your frustration to the people
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you love when you ought to be speaking to the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: rock and feeding the people you love? I thought I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: would be further than this. By now, I thought I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: would have my life together. Frustration comes through what you thought.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: No more bruisings are necessary. It's in the word. The
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: water you need is in the word. The thirst you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: have is in the word. The healing is in the word.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go through changes. You don't have
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to go through crucifixion. You don't have to bleed for it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You don't have to work for it. You don't have
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to sweat for it. All you got to do is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: hear the word.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Healing starts today. Order enough when you visit our website
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: or call 1-800-BISHOP-2.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: It does have to come from within. And to me,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: if you become complacent or satisfied with what you have,
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: then you stop pioneering. You tend to become introspective. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's a matter of firstly exposing ourselves.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Being at leadership conferences like this one is so important
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: because I think you get your spirit built up. You
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: hear from other people. And I find that as long
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: as I make sure I'm getting the right input, as
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: long as I make sure that I'm looking after what
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: goes on internally, then I'll always want to be looking
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: forward and believing God for whatever that new thing is.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: But it has to be engineered from inside of me.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It had gotten on his last nerve. Now, you must understand,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for this one little offense, Moses is blocked from getting
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to the promised land. He freaks out on the people
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and he has a meltdown and he just lets them
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: have it. This is probably the abridged version of what
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he said to them because he just kind of, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you know how you do when you're talking to your folks. Yeah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And your folks, they got on your nerves. And there
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: is a language, you know, that we all communicate. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just figuring. But whatever he said, it
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was good. It was good. It was kind of whoosh.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I got that out of me. But it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: resulted in God saying to Moses, you cannot go to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the promised land now. Because you did not obey me.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And I want you to understand some things. First of all,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand that Moses didn't understand that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: God was using his life as an example of what
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he would later do with Christ. That the rock is
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a type of Jesus Christ. This rock is Jesus. Do
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you remember that? He's the one. The rock is a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: type of Christ. And the reason God wanted him to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: smite it the first time But not smited the second
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: time is that when he smote it the first time,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it typified Christ being crucified. And he wanted the illustration,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the shadow in the Old Testament to be that once
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Christ was crucified once, he would not be crucified again. Amen.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And so when Moses smites the rock again, he shatters
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the typology. He messes up the metaphor and God judges
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: him because he says something about the rock that is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: not true. He's saying that the rock has to be
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: smitten twice to bring forth water. When Christ only had
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to be crucified once. Woman, if you knew who I was,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you would ask me for water. Christ is the rock.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: If you drink of the waters that I have, you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: will thirst again. That you have. But if you drink
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of the waters that I have, you will never thirst again.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: If you believe on me as the scriptures have said,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Christ is the rock. And he was wounded for our transgressions.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: He was bruised for our iniquities. Chastised by our peace
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: was upon him. With his stripes we are healed. One
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: time is enough. Moses smoked the rock a second time
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and broke the tight. Shattered it. God got upset. Now,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, for God to block Moses from getting to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the promised land, it had to be serious. God said,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: other prophets have I spoke to through dreams and visions,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: but of my servant Moses, do I speak face to face?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: God said, I don't get my Moses, my boy. I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: don't give him dreams and visions. When I want to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: talk to Moses, I come down and say, yo, Moses,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: what's going on, man? Face to face. Moses has done
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. He murdered a man and God
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: still used him. When Moses' sister spoke against Moses, God
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: struck her with leprosy. Moses is God's dude. You get
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in trouble saying something about Moses. Moses had gotten in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: God's face and argued with him and God put up
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: with it. Moses got in God's face and said, they're
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: your people, they're not my people, they're my people, they're
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: not your people. They were arguing back and forth with
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: God and God put up with that. What was it
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: about this that was so horrible that God said, for
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: this you cannot go into the kingdom? He said something
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: about Christ that wasn't true. He actually said that the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: cross is not enough. That he would be crucified twice.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: It shattered the gospel message. To the chosen generation. The
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: former generation it didn't matter. But to the chosen generation.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: These are the generations. Who have entered into something. For
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: which they did not labor. These are the generations of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: people that are stepping into something that is so divine
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and so holy that now the water is just flowing
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: through the word. And you are cleansed by the washing
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of water by the word. The word is all you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: need to get the water. No more bruisings are necessary.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: But now through the word, the water flows. Oh, they
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: don't hear me. I'm going to keep saying it until
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: they get it. It's in the word. The water you
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: need is in the word. The thirst you have is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in the word. The healing is in the word. You
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: don't have to go through changes. You don't have to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: go through crucifixion. You don't have to bleed for it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You don't have to work for it. You don't have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to sweat for it. All you got to do is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: hear the word. And the water is in the word.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And the word is in the water. And the water
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is in the word. And the word is in the water.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And the water is in the word. And the word
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: is in the water. And it's flowing. The Bible says
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the word increased and the disciples multiplied. Whenever there's good words,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you don't have to beg people to come. The word
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: will draw the people. And he sent his word and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it healed them. And the word flowed and it flowed.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And that's why God says, speak to the rock. We've
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: already paid the price. Speak to the rock and the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: waters will flow. But Moses was so frustrated that he
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: couldn't obey a simpler thing. And I want to tell
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you why he's frustrated. They were murmuring again. They were
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: murmuring and complaining again. They were murmuring and threatening to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: kill Moses. Moses was afraid for his life. He was
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: at his wit's end and he'd already been through it
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: before and he was frustrated. So number one, he's frustrated
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: with the people. He's frustrated with the people. And when
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you are frustrated with the people you love, the conflict
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is overwhelming. It's one thing to be angry at people
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you don't know. But when you are angry with people
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you're in covenant with, the confusion is overwhelming because one
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: thing says love them and the other thing says I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: want to choke you. Now, if you haven't lived long
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: enough to have that conflict, I won't get an amen
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: out of you, but if you live long enough to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: have Mirabal on the inside and be quarreling with yourself,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you see, the people were frustrated with the leader, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: now the leader is frustrated with the people. The people
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: are frustrated with the leader because they're frustrated with the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: leader because you have led us into trouble. And people
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: will follow you. As long as there's not trouble. You're
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a good husband. You're a good man. You're a good daddy. Oh,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you're such a good daddy. Till we get evicted. People
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: love leadership that leads you into convenience. But when the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: leadership gets kind of bad, murky, goes black, gets dark,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: they started murmuring against him. Long as manna was falling,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: he was cool. Ooh, manna, manna, manna. But they got
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: hungry and they got dry and now they're frustrated with
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the leader. And Moses goes to God and God says,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: speak to the rock. But Moses was mad. Okay, God,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: praise the Lord. Go down here and speak to this rock.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: After I speak to this people.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Because frustration needs to express itself. Frustration always needs to
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: express itself. It can only hide so long and then it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Will express itself. People were frustrated with the leader, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: now the leader is frustrated with the people. He should
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: have spoke to the rock, but because he had unresolved
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: issues with the people, it boiled over, and now he
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: speaks to the people when he should have been speaking
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to the rock. Are you speaking to the people instead
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of speaking to the rock? Are you, daddy, are you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: carrying your frustration To the people you love when you
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: ought to be speaking to the rock and feeding the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: people you love. If Moses would have just got that
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: part right, it would have all been over. You speak
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to the rock, you feed the people. Simple. Speak to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the rock, feed the people. Speak to the rock, feed
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the people. Carry it to God, not to her. Vent
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it to Jesus, not your kid. Go to Jesus and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: let the spirit itself make groanings and moanings and grunt
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and scream and holler. Not her. Not the kids. Not
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: your husband. You don't tell him. Tell the rock. Give
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: him the water. No wonder the marriage is in trouble.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You're venting to him. You got too much mouth in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the marriage. You got to break it down to that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: third stage. When you break it down to that third stage,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you got too much mouth in the marriage. Community language. Now,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the frustration with the people, the frustration with the leader
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: leads to the frustration with the people. And all of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a sudden, Moses is in a dilemma. And he had
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the right to be frustrated because frustration is a sign
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: of investment. You don't get frustrated with things you haven't
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: invested in. Start market crash. You don't have no money
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in it. You don't care. You don't feel it because
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you don't have nothing invested in it. Sarah could tell Abraham,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: put out Hagar and her child. It was easy for
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: her to say, put that girl out. The reason it
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: was easy for Sarah to say, put her out, she
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: didn't have none invested. Now, Abraham is moaning and groaning
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: because he has investment. Wherever there is investment, there is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: frustration because investment creates expectation.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: We're coming right back right after this.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You have no idea what.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I've been through.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I can't take this anymore.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Tell frustration you've had enough.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Are you speaking to the people instead of speaking to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the rock? Are you carrying your frustration to the people
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you love when you ought to be speaking to the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: rock and feeding the people you love? I thought I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: would be further than this. By now, I thought I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: would have my life together. Frustration comes through what you thought.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: No more bruisings are necessary. It's in the word. The
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: water you need is in the word. The thirst you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: have is in the word. The healing is in the word.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go through changes. You don't have
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to go through crucifixion. You don't have to bleed for it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: You don't have to work for it. You don't have
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to sweat for it. All you got to do is
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: hear the word.
• 25:13

• 26:25
  Speaker 1: God needs somebody who has been exposed to the next
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: level to lead to the next level. You cannot get
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: people to go where you have not been yourself. That's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: why God fixed it for you to be here because
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he wants to expose you to something that you can
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: go back and use in your city, your vision, your ministry,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: your church to accomplish the.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: Thing of God.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Bishop has just brought in so many different voices that
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: are challenging us on a whole new level and a
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: whole new way.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Strengthen through this conference.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I am just expecting a download from heaven.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: How far you can reach, how far you can go.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: You need to be able to be exposed beyond the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: people that you lead. Are you ready? You must realize,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: my brother, you are guilty too. Before you get the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: lynchmas noose and hang me for my crime, get a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: mirror and look at yourself because you deserve to be
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: hung too. If you can live, then so can I.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It is my prayer that this message is helping you
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: face those frustrations that you're dealing with in your heart.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for the continued support of Bishop Circle
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and Aaron's Army, we wouldn't have been able to deliver
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: this message to you. Because of them, we have dug
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: wells in Kenya, preached the gospel in Australia, gone to Europe,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: built homes in Mexico, and even here in Dallas, we're
• 28:08
