Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey family, welcome to the house. We're so glad you're
- 0:06Speaker 1: here and we are excited about this word that you
- 0:09Speaker 1: are getting ready to receive. It's going to bless you
- 0:11Speaker 1: and change your life and when God speaks to you
- 0:14Speaker 1: and it resonates very deeply and there's a promise, maybe
- 0:17Speaker 1: something that you've been praying for and believing God for,
- 0:20Speaker 1: I want you to sow a seed.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Whenever God meets me, I make it my personal commitment
- 0:26Speaker 3: to sow a seed, to build an altar. When there's
- 0:28Speaker 3: something in that message that you know the light turns
- 0:31Speaker 3: on or it deals with something that you have been
- 0:33Speaker 3: struggling with, there is something about having this practical manifestation
- 0:37Speaker 3: of that response of what God just said to you.
- 0:39Speaker 3: And for me, that comes when I sow a seed.
- 0:44Speaker 2: We love you. God bless you.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Watch it to the end and then share this message
- 0:47Speaker 1: with somebody. It's going to change your life and hopefully
- 0:50Speaker 1: many others.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I lately have been bringing my Bible because I like it.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I like it because I got all kind of scribbled
- 1:05Speaker 2: up stuff in it and highlights and stuff like that
- 1:08Speaker 2: and the new stuff I use the new stuff too
- 1:10Speaker 2: nothing against it I'm not preaching against it but sometimes
- 1:13Speaker 2: I like to read my old notes some of them
- 1:16Speaker 2: are 20 years old and what I was thinking back
- 1:19Speaker 2: then and what I saw now because the word is
- 1:22Speaker 2: living and as the word lives you begin to see
- 1:26Speaker 2: it more and more clearly and more fully every time
- 1:29Speaker 2: can you say amen I'm going to, just to refresh
- 1:33Speaker 2: you and get you in the right frame of mind,
- 1:36Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to the text at the
- 1:38Speaker 2: beginning and read Exodus 33, 18 through 23. Exodus 33,
- 1:41Speaker 2: 18 through 23 was where we started from Sunday. And
- 1:42Speaker 2: we started in the middle of a mess, really.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Because if you read the chapter before and the chapter
- 2:03Speaker 2: leading into it, you'll understand that they had committed idolatry.
- 2:08Speaker 2: And they had broken the law before they ever got it.
- 2:11Speaker 2: So Moses has been up on the mountaintop to get
- 2:14Speaker 2: the law. And one of the laws said, thou shalt
- 2:17Speaker 2: not have no other god before me. And by the
- 2:19Speaker 2: time he got ready to give them the law, they'd
- 2:22Speaker 2: already built the golden calf. Okay. So it was broken
- 2:26Speaker 2: when they got it. And then he goes back up
- 2:29Speaker 2: on the mountaintop. He actually goes three times. The first
- 2:33Speaker 2: time God hewed out the stone and wrote the Ten Commandments.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The second time he said, you hew out the stone
- 2:43Speaker 2: and then I'll do it. And the first time, the very, very,
- 2:47Speaker 2: very first time he gave it to them in writing
- 2:51Speaker 2: on paper and they said, this we will do. And
- 2:53Speaker 2: that was a mistake because The law was never given
- 2:57Speaker 2: to us to say we mastered it. It was given
- 3:02Speaker 2: to us so we could say we can't do this.
- 3:06Speaker 2: That's why he gave him the tabernacle at the same time.
- 3:09Speaker 2: When we confess that we can't do it, then we
- 3:13Speaker 2: open up a new and living way for us to
- 3:15Speaker 2: escape and we come into the grace of God. But
- 3:19Speaker 2: when we in our arrogance said we got this, okay,
- 3:22Speaker 2: then we miss the opportunity. So God is having trouble
- 3:25Speaker 2: with his people and Moses is now talking to him
- 3:30Speaker 2: and it reads like this. And he said, I beseech thee,
- 3:33Speaker 2: you can stand, you can stand just for this one time.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Make sure you're not asleep. And he said, I beseech thee,
- 3:42Speaker 2: show me thy glory. And he said, I will make
- 3:46Speaker 2: all my goodness pass before thee and I will proclaim
- 3:50Speaker 2: the name of the Lord before thee. And will be
- 3:52Speaker 2: gracious to whom I will be gracious. And will show
- 3:56Speaker 2: mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said
- 4:01Speaker 2: thou canst not see my face. For there shall no
- 4:04Speaker 2: man see me and live. And the Lord said behold
- 4:08Speaker 2: there is a place by me. And thou shall stand
- 4:14Speaker 2: upon a rock. And it shall come to pass while
- 4:18Speaker 2: my glory passes by. that I will put thee in
- 4:21Speaker 2: the cliff of the rock and will cover thee with
- 4:25Speaker 2: my hand while I pass by. And I will take
- 4:29Speaker 2: away my hand and thou shall see my back parts,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but my face shall not be seen. Can you say amen? Amen. Lord,
- 4:38Speaker 2: let us have the kind of ground that soaks up
- 4:41Speaker 2: the word of God, that we internalize it, that we
- 4:45Speaker 2: walk it out, that we understand it, that we see it,
- 4:48Speaker 2: that we grow it, By getting into your word, because
- 4:51Speaker 2: the more of your word we have, the more of
- 4:53Speaker 2: you we have. For in the beginning was the word,
- 4:56Speaker 2: and the word was with God, and the word was God.
- 4:59Speaker 2: So when we possess the word, we possess you. And
- 5:02Speaker 2: we possess this word as we possess you. We come
- 5:05Speaker 2: to know you. We come to understand your ways. We
- 5:08Speaker 2: come to understand how we are in your likeness and
- 5:12Speaker 2: in your image. In Jesus' name, shout amen. Okay. So
- 5:18Speaker 2: you may be sitting. Chill. Take it easy. Take your
- 5:21Speaker 2: shoes off. Your feet are clean. So what you got
- 5:27Speaker 2: to realize now as we start getting into this, God
- 5:31Speaker 2: starts saying, don't put that up there yet. Put my
- 5:35Speaker 2: scripture back up there. God starts saying to Moses, Moses
- 5:40Speaker 2: starts saying to God, show me thy glory. But I
- 5:43Speaker 2: didn't read the verses before it. Moses is complaining because
- 5:47Speaker 2: he said, you know me, but I don't know you.
- 5:52Speaker 2: It's a difference between you knowing God and God knowing you.
- 5:58Speaker 2: You understand? You remember the scripture where he said in
- 6:01Speaker 2: the last days, many shall come and say, I did
- 6:04Speaker 2: great works in your name. I healed the sick. I
- 6:06Speaker 2: raised the dead. And he says, depart from me, ye
- 6:09Speaker 2: workers of iniquity. I never knew you. I'm saved because
- 6:14Speaker 2: God knows me. See, I'm not saved because of my
- 6:19Speaker 2: good works. I'm not saved because of the way I
- 6:22Speaker 2: wear my hair. I'm not saved because I don't wear
- 6:25Speaker 2: pants or I don't wear jewelry or I don't do this.
- 6:28Speaker 2: I'm not saved for anything. I'm saved because I am
- 6:30Speaker 2: known of God. Nevertheless, having this seal, the Lord knoweth
- 6:35Speaker 2: them that are his. I am known of God. And
- 6:40Speaker 2: Moses was known of God. to the point that he said,
- 6:43Speaker 2: other prophets have I spoke to through dreams and visions,
- 6:47Speaker 2: but of my servant Moses, do I speak face to face?
- 6:50Speaker 2: And what I wanted you to see when I was
- 6:52Speaker 2: teaching Sunday was the unusual relationship that Moses had with God,
- 7:00Speaker 2: that they had a conversation. They had a debate. They
- 7:03Speaker 2: almost had an argument. He was getting God's face, and
- 7:07Speaker 2: he was allowed, instead of getting struck down, he was
- 7:09Speaker 2: able to say some things to God They would have
- 7:12Speaker 2: gotten anybody else killed. But they had a relationship. And
- 7:16Speaker 2: when we have a relationship with God, we can ask
- 7:20Speaker 2: things of him. And he says, show me thy glory.
- 7:23Speaker 2: He says, I want to see you. I want to
- 7:26Speaker 2: know you like you know me. You know me. You
- 7:29Speaker 2: have searched me. You know my thoughts are far off.
- 7:33Speaker 2: You know them while I'm getting ready to think them.
- 7:35Speaker 2: You already know them. All things are naked before him
- 7:38Speaker 2: with whom we have to do. Nothing about you is
- 7:41Speaker 2: hidden from God. You can think that you're hiding from God,
- 7:44Speaker 2: but you're not hiding from God. God already knows why
- 7:47Speaker 2: you're formulating your thoughts. God already knows them while they're
- 7:50Speaker 2: coming to your head. The Bible says the word of
- 7:53Speaker 2: God is quick and sharp, more powerful than any two-edged sword,
- 7:57Speaker 2: casting asunder soul from spirit and joints from marrow. God
- 8:02Speaker 2: has searched us. He's known us. All things are open
- 8:05Speaker 2: before him. Now that could either scare you to death
- 8:10Speaker 2: because everything isn't pretty that comes to my head. Or
- 8:14Speaker 2: it can give me great comfort because if you know
- 8:17Speaker 2: me and you've already known my thoughts and you didn't
- 8:21Speaker 2: kill me and you allowed me to come into your presence,
- 8:25Speaker 2: then I begin to understand I'm accepted in the beloved.
- 8:28Speaker 2: So I don't have to pretend to be nobody else.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I could be myself because you've already seen me. You
- 8:35Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying? You've already seen me. You've already
- 8:38Speaker 2: seen my thoughts. You already know. You formed my body.
- 8:41Speaker 2: You shaped me from the dust of the earth and
- 8:44Speaker 2: I am yours because of that. So he says, I
- 8:48Speaker 2: want to know you like you know me. I want
- 8:51Speaker 2: to search you. I want to see you. I want
- 8:54Speaker 2: to see your glory. And God said, no man can
- 8:57Speaker 2: see my glory and live. He said, but there is
- 9:00Speaker 2: a place beside me. Now, Let me come on down.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I'm going to come on down here little by little
- 9:06Speaker 2: until I can kind of tell you some of the
- 9:09Speaker 2: things I learned. I've been maybe 10 times to the
- 9:15Speaker 2: White House with different presidents and administrators, and they'll have
- 9:19Speaker 2: little meetings for pastors to meet with the president and
- 9:23Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. And it's been a while since
- 9:26Speaker 2: I've been, but I have been many times. And I
- 9:28Speaker 2: learned very quickly, I learned very quickly that that the
- 9:32Speaker 2: seating matters. Whoever is sitting on the right side of
- 9:38Speaker 2: the president has a special and unique spot. They have
- 9:45Speaker 2: close proximity. They have the president's ear. You don't just
- 9:50Speaker 2: pick that chair. That chair is picked for you. The
- 9:53Speaker 2: name is there. Who sits on the left? The name
- 9:56Speaker 2: is there. And it is picked so that to be
- 10:00Speaker 2: candid with you every time they do a shot you're
- 10:04Speaker 2: in it so they want to choose how the president
- 10:12Speaker 2: is seen and who he is seen with and it
- 10:15Speaker 2: is a position of honor for To be seated on
- 10:19Speaker 2: the right side is the highest honor. And the next
- 10:22Speaker 2: highest honor is to be on the left side. That's
- 10:25Speaker 2: why in the same way Jesus said that Simon said,
- 10:30Speaker 2: one of the disciples, I can't remember which one, said
- 10:33Speaker 2: he saw Jesus seated on the right hand of the
- 10:37Speaker 2: majesty of God. That was as close as you can get.
- 10:40Speaker 2: And God says to Moses, there is a place beside me.
- 10:46Speaker 2: You get to sit by him. Little dirty, you. Little angry, hothead, temper, you.
- 10:54Speaker 2: You get to sit by the right side of God.
- 10:59Speaker 2: God said there is a place available that's open so
- 11:02Speaker 2: that you can have proximity to me. See, God doesn't
- 11:06Speaker 2: want to be far off from you. Now, I'm going
- 11:09Speaker 2: to get into these questions in a minute, but God
- 11:11Speaker 2: doesn't want to be far off from you. He wants
- 11:14Speaker 2: to be close to you. And even though we raise
- 11:17Speaker 2: our hands and we lift our heads, like God is
- 11:20Speaker 2: far off, the real revelation of God is that he
- 11:24Speaker 2: is coming from within you. Out of your belly. See,
- 11:30Speaker 2: that's when it gets real good. Out of your belly
- 11:32Speaker 2: shall flow rivers of living water. If you're still trying
- 11:35Speaker 2: to find him as if he were far, he said,
- 11:38Speaker 2: I'm nigh unto you, even in your mouth. I'm right
- 11:42Speaker 2: there with you. I'm there all the time. You are
- 11:45Speaker 2: never alone. I used to come up in the old church,
- 11:48Speaker 2: the old church mothers would set a place at the
- 11:51Speaker 2: dinner table for Jesus. They'd say, don't sit there, that's
- 11:54Speaker 2: for Jesus. It was their way of saying, he's a
- 12:01Speaker 2: guest at my table. But in reality, if you're filled
- 12:06Speaker 2: with his spirit, when you sat down, he sat down
- 12:08Speaker 2: in you. When you got up, he got up in you.
- 12:14Speaker 2: When you go to work, he goes to work with you.
- 12:17Speaker 2: When you don't do wrong, he is still in you.
- 12:20Speaker 2: The Bible says whosoever joins himself to a harlot has
- 12:24Speaker 2: joined God to a harlot. So he's with you. There's
- 12:29Speaker 2: no setting him on a shelf while you go do
- 12:32Speaker 2: something you want to do and come back later because
- 12:35Speaker 2: he's not a God that you carry around. You're not
- 12:39Speaker 2: carrying God. God is carrying you. If you ever grasp
- 12:46Speaker 2: the close proximity that you have with God, it begins
- 12:50Speaker 2: to affect your character and your attitude because no matter
- 12:54Speaker 2: where you go, you cannot escape him. If you make
- 12:57Speaker 2: your bed in hell, he said, I'm there. If you
- 12:59Speaker 2: take the wings of the morning and ascend to the
- 13:01Speaker 2: uttermost parts of the earth, I am there. When your
- 13:05Speaker 2: enemies attack you, they're attacking him. Because he is in you.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Come on, come on. He's mighty in battle. He's my shield.
- 13:12Speaker 2: He's my buckler. You cussed me out, you cussed him
- 13:15Speaker 2: out because he is in me. Come on, you hear
- 13:18Speaker 2: what I'm saying? You hear what I'm saying? And even
- 13:21Speaker 2: though I don't always represent him as well as I should,
- 13:24Speaker 2: he doesn't just run in and out. and back and forth.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm not with you. I got it.
- 13:30Speaker 2: I don't got it. I got to get it again.
- 13:32Speaker 2: I got it again. He said, lo, I'm with you always,
- 13:36Speaker 2: even unto the ends of the world. He's steady. He's stable.
- 13:40Speaker 2: He's consistent. And once he makes his abode in you,
- 13:44Speaker 2: there is nothing that you have done, nothing that you
- 13:47Speaker 2: are doing, nothing that you will do that surprises him
- 13:52Speaker 2: because he has known the end from the beginning.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Amen.
- 13:56Speaker 2: You might be shocked, but God already knows. Whatever you're
- 14:00Speaker 2: shocked about, God already knows about. Whatever you're wrestling with,
- 14:04Speaker 2: God already knows about. So when he makes a decision
- 14:07Speaker 2: to make an abode with you, he has considered the
- 14:11Speaker 2: old you, the current you, and the future you, and
- 14:15Speaker 2: has taken all of that in consideration when he came
- 14:19Speaker 2: in you. And all the things you're going to do
- 14:21Speaker 2: while you're growing up in him, he has taken that
- 14:25Speaker 2: into consideration. And he's still with you. He's still with you.
- 14:33Speaker 2: That ought to make you love him. He's the only
- 14:37Speaker 2: one that sticks with you closer than a brother. That
- 14:41Speaker 2: ought to make you love him. Even though you did
- 14:44Speaker 2: things he didn't like, he still stayed on board with you.
- 14:47Speaker 2: That ought to make you more patient with how you
- 14:49Speaker 2: treat other people. Because if God treated you like you
- 14:53Speaker 2: treated other people, he would be bouncing in and out
- 14:56Speaker 2: with you on Monday, not speaking to you on Thursday,
- 14:59Speaker 2: mad at you on Friday, cuss you out on Saturday,
- 15:04Speaker 2: come back in to you on Sunday. If you repent
- 15:07Speaker 2: and say it right, you got to come say I'm sorry.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Maybe I'll forgive you. Maybe I won't forgive you. I
- 15:12Speaker 2: haven't gotten over it yet. Look at the difference between
- 15:15Speaker 2: the personality of This is why you want to study
- 15:21Speaker 2: the word because the word reveals the personality of God.
- 15:27Speaker 2: You can't love a God if you don't know his personality.
- 15:31Speaker 2: You have to know him through his personality. So he says,
- 15:34Speaker 2: there's a place beside me. And I'm going to cause
- 15:37Speaker 2: my goodness to pass by you. Oh, that's amazing. His
- 15:43Speaker 2: goodness to pass by me. That God would allow his
- 15:47Speaker 2: goodness to pass by me. Do you know how amazing
- 15:51Speaker 2: that is? That God would set me in the cleft
- 15:54Speaker 2: of the rock. And there I am standing in the
- 15:56Speaker 2: cleft of the rock. And I'll tell you the truth.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I told myself. I was kind of mad at myself
- 16:03Speaker 2: when I left Sunday. Because I didn't get to hook.
- 16:06Speaker 2: something up that I wanted to hook up in the
- 16:07Speaker 2: text I left one part out of the text but
- 16:10Speaker 2: so I'm glad they let me come back on Wednesday
- 16:13Speaker 2: so now I can get that part in that I
- 16:15Speaker 2: didn't get in because it about drove me crazy that
- 16:19Speaker 2: I left that part out because I get the preaching
- 16:21Speaker 2: out of my head you know and my head you
- 16:24Speaker 2: know I just forgot this one part remember when I
- 16:27Speaker 2: was telling you about how he was in the cleft
- 16:29Speaker 2: of the rock and how the rock was cut out
- 16:32Speaker 2: and it had a crevice in it And so the
- 16:35Speaker 2: scar of the rock created a place for Moses to
- 16:39Speaker 2: stand so that the goodness could pass by you. And
- 16:43Speaker 2: God covered up the scar with his hand. The cleft
- 16:47Speaker 2: of the rock is the cleavage of the rock. It's
- 16:50Speaker 2: the indentation in the rock. It's the broken place in
- 16:54Speaker 2: the rock. So the broken man came to the broken
- 16:57Speaker 2: place and connected with God. Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? Amen.
- 17:03Speaker 2: And when the broken man came to the broken place,
- 17:06Speaker 2: it was a connection like if you take a key
- 17:09Speaker 2: and put it in the lock. The key is broken
- 17:13Speaker 2: in all the right places so that when you put
- 17:16Speaker 2: it in the lock, there's a click and a connection
- 17:20Speaker 2: because it was designed to be broken that way. so
- 17:24Speaker 2: that it would match the breaking of the lock. And
- 17:28Speaker 2: so when you put it in, it go click, and
- 17:31Speaker 2: you know you got the right key. You can turn it.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Now you got access. Now you got proximity. Now you
- 17:38Speaker 2: got in. Well, that was part of it. Here's the
- 17:44Speaker 2: other part that I was going to tell you at
- 17:46Speaker 2: the end. When I got to the cross... When I
- 17:50Speaker 2: got to the cross, all through the Bible, I went
- 17:52Speaker 2: all through the Bible showing you that Jesus was the
- 17:55Speaker 2: rock and water was flowing out of the rock and
- 17:57Speaker 2: all this about the rock and David through the rock
- 18:00Speaker 2: and Moses sat on the rock and all the different
- 18:03Speaker 2: illustrations about the rock. But where I meant to end
- 18:06Speaker 2: up was at the cross and he was on the
- 18:09Speaker 2: cross and Jesus is the rock. But there was no
- 18:13Speaker 2: cleft in Jesus till the Roman soldier pierced him in
- 18:17Speaker 2: his side. When the Roman soldier pierced him in his side,
- 18:22Speaker 2: he created an indentation so I could be in him.
- 18:28Speaker 2: And the church was born that day because Jesus is
- 18:32Speaker 2: the fulfillment of the cleft of the rock. In him
- 18:36Speaker 2: I live. In him I move. In him I have
- 18:40Speaker 2: my being. He was wounded for my transgression. He was
- 18:45Speaker 2: bruised for my iniquity. The chastisement of my peace was
- 18:49Speaker 2: upon him. He opened up for me. He opened up
- 18:52Speaker 2: for me. He opened up for me. He opened up
- 18:56Speaker 2: for me. You understand it, but I got to explain
- 18:59Speaker 2: it so that everybody gets it. When they got to
- 19:01Speaker 2: everybody else... They broke their legs so that they couldn't
- 19:05Speaker 2: get away. There were different people that were being crucified
- 19:09Speaker 2: that day. But when they got to Jesus, he was
- 19:12Speaker 2: already dead. He had submitted himself unto death. So the
- 19:16Speaker 2: Roman soldier didn't have to break his legs because he
- 19:19Speaker 2: was already dead. But he pierced him in his side
- 19:23Speaker 2: so he could be the cleft of the rock that
- 19:26Speaker 2: you saw in the book of Exodus. Exodus, where we
- 19:29Speaker 2: get ecclesia, which means church. So when you understand Exodus,
- 19:35Speaker 2: it's like exit. It's a Hebrew word for exit. Ecclesia
- 19:40Speaker 2: means the called out ones. So we were called out
- 19:43Speaker 2: of Egypt into the newness of life. You have to
- 19:47Speaker 2: understand that in the same way that we were called
- 19:51Speaker 2: out of sin that we might come into this grace
- 19:55Speaker 2: where we stand through a new and living way. And
- 20:00Speaker 2: the same time that they cut open his side, the
- 20:04Speaker 2: veil in the temple was rent from the top to
- 20:07Speaker 2: the bottom. And the veil in the heavens opened up
- 20:10Speaker 2: after 40 days and he ascended into heaven. Every veil
- 20:15Speaker 2: was broken to let you know that God was broken
- 20:18Speaker 2: so that the broken man could come into a broken
- 20:22Speaker 2: place and become whole through being in him. Are you
- 20:25Speaker 2: getting what I'm saying? Amen. I was so mad at myself.
- 20:29Speaker 2: I got home. Everybody was talking about how I preached
- 20:33Speaker 2: and everything. I was frustrated. I had a big old attitude.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I said that good old point and I left that
- 20:40Speaker 2: point out. So I was glad to come back on
- 20:42Speaker 2: Wednesday night and get that point in. Because sometimes God
- 20:49Speaker 2: will show you something that you haven't never heard anybody say,
- 20:54Speaker 2: but he will give you his secret. He will share
- 20:58Speaker 2: things with you. And his revelation is illumination. And you
- 21:02Speaker 2: begin to understand, even though thousands of years has passed by,
- 21:07Speaker 2: there is a connection between the rock on the cross
- 21:10Speaker 2: and the rock on the mountaintop. and the rock that
- 21:13Speaker 2: Moses sat on, and the rock that flowed with water,
- 21:17Speaker 2: they're all expressions of who your God is. Okay? Now,
- 21:23Speaker 2: I'm going to stop teaching because if I keep teaching,
- 21:27Speaker 2: I can get on that and go off. How many
- 21:29Speaker 2: people understood that? Okay. So you understand that your God
- 21:35Speaker 2: is so many things, that the Bible is full of
- 21:39Speaker 2: of metaphors and similes, or we call them shadows of types,
- 21:44Speaker 2: or types, because he is that he is. I am
- 21:48Speaker 2: that I am. I am that I am. Yahweh. I
- 21:53Speaker 2: am that I am. It really was pronounced Yahweh, like breathing,
- 21:59Speaker 2: like to breathe.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Ah.
- 22:01Speaker 2: You can't do it without you can't say y'all without
- 22:04Speaker 2: breathing in way without breathing out so the breath of
- 22:08Speaker 2: God the breath of God have given you like the
- 22:11Speaker 2: breath of God so before there was a where or
- 22:14Speaker 2: when or this or that God before there was moon
- 22:21Speaker 2: or stars or planets God The breathing of God, that
- 22:27Speaker 2: was there all the time. You can't, every time you breathe,
- 22:31Speaker 2: you're saying God. Every time you inhale and exhale, you're
- 22:35Speaker 2: saying God. Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh. It's in you. Every time
- 22:40Speaker 2: you say it, his name is in your mouth. You
- 22:44Speaker 2: see what I'm saying? Okay, that's all. I'm going to stop.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I'm going to stop. Stop. Stop. Okay. Y'all getting something
- 22:52Speaker 2: out of this? Yes. Okay, so we now know that
- 22:56Speaker 2: Moses is seated on the right hand of the majesty
- 22:58Speaker 2: on high so that he can have this encounter with God.
- 23:02Speaker 2: And we know that because Moses is there, God has
- 23:05Speaker 2: caused his goodness to pass by him. And he says,
- 23:10Speaker 2: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.
- 23:12Speaker 2: And I won't answer it yet because it's in the
- 23:14Speaker 2: questions that you all wrote in. And I'll take my
- 23:17Speaker 2: questions now. Give me some of the questions so we
- 23:20Speaker 2: can answer some of the specific questions that you wrote.
- 23:26Speaker 2: I don't see him. Yeah, thank you. Okay. Here's question
- 23:32Speaker 2: number one. You're going to read it if you want
- 23:35Speaker 2: me to read it. Okay. What should I do practically
- 23:37Speaker 2: to get closer to God? Even though I study my
- 23:41Speaker 2: Bible and pray already, yet it seems I can't sense
- 23:45Speaker 2: him or quiet myself enough to. Brittany, let me help
- 23:51Speaker 2: you with this answer. You are already close to God.
- 23:57Speaker 2: You need an awareness of the closeness that you have
- 24:01Speaker 2: with God. Just by believing and knowing that he is
- 24:06Speaker 2: with you, you draw nigh unto God. Now, the omnipotence
- 24:11Speaker 2: of God, God is everywhere. He's all over the room.
- 24:14Speaker 2: He's all in the balcony. He's all in the garage.
- 24:16Speaker 2: He's up in my office. He's down here on the floor.
- 24:19Speaker 2: He's up in the pulpit. God is everywhere. By him,
- 24:22Speaker 2: all things consist. He is omnipotent. Omnipotent, all potent. He
- 24:29Speaker 2: is omnipresent, means that he is all present. He is
- 24:33Speaker 2: present in all places at all times. So what we're
- 24:36Speaker 2: trying to get is the omnipresent God to manifest his presence.
- 24:42Speaker 2: And what you want to do is get a manifestation
- 24:45Speaker 2: of his presence so that you can have the assurance
- 24:48Speaker 2: that he has, he has, he has, he cannot be explained.
- 24:53Speaker 2: He must be revealed. So when God reveals himself, he
- 24:58Speaker 2: shows himself. And that's the manifest presence of God. That's
- 25:03Speaker 2: what the word revelation really means. Apocalypse, it's the unveiling
- 25:08Speaker 2: of God. So God unveils himself to you and he
- 25:12Speaker 2: shows himself strong in your life. He doesn't get strong
- 25:16Speaker 2: when you know he's strong. He was always strong, but
- 25:19Speaker 2: now he shows himself strong. And what you want to
- 25:23Speaker 2: do is get him to manifest. He's already in the car.
- 25:27Speaker 2: He's already in your prayer room. He's already at your
- 25:30Speaker 2: sink while you're doing dishes. But you're trying to get
- 25:32Speaker 2: him to manifest himself so that you can have a
- 25:37Speaker 2: feeling in your flesh that of the assurance of a
- 25:41Speaker 2: God that doesn't even need you to feel him for
- 25:44Speaker 2: him to be there. He doesn't need you to feel him.
- 25:47Speaker 2: He's not a feeling. He's not an emotion. He's not
- 25:52Speaker 2: your response. God is not your response. Your response is
- 25:56Speaker 2: your response. You have no more God when you respond
- 26:00Speaker 2: than you do when you don't respond. He's still there.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Some people fall out in the floor. He's no more
- 26:05Speaker 2: in you on the floor than he was when you
- 26:07Speaker 2: were standing up. That's your response to God. But God
- 26:12Speaker 2: is already there. Are you hearing what I'm saying to you? Now,
- 26:15Speaker 2: if you want to be more consecrated, Consecration brings you
- 26:21Speaker 2: into an awareness that God is already there. And really,
- 26:25Speaker 2: without being carnal, you know, we set up the mood.
- 26:36Speaker 2: So he's not going to manifest himself in chaos and
- 26:40Speaker 2: confusion and while you're thinking about something else. You know,
- 26:45Speaker 2: he's not going to manifest himself while you're sitting up
- 26:48Speaker 2: there doing your nails and worried about stuff and all upset.
- 26:52Speaker 2: So it's not so much that he needs to change proximity.
- 26:57Speaker 2: You need to change your focus so that you can
- 27:01Speaker 2: be aware of his proximity. And here are some little
- 27:04Speaker 2: things that will help you to be more aware. You
- 27:08Speaker 2: set the mood. It might be worship. If you get
- 27:10Speaker 2: off that phone sometimes, Or sometimes you can scroll up
- 27:15Speaker 2: on something that brings your mind into God, and they'll
- 27:19Speaker 2: get on one song, and I play that song over
- 27:21Speaker 2: and over and over again, and it sets the mood.
- 27:23Speaker 2: It's just like when I was in the world. I
- 27:25Speaker 2: was getting ready to go out to the club. I'd
- 27:27Speaker 2: put my music on while I was getting ready, so
- 27:30Speaker 2: I didn't wait until I got to the club. to
- 27:32Speaker 2: start getting ready. I started getting ready at the house.
- 27:35Speaker 2: While I was in the tub, I was getting ready.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I had dimmed the lights. I had set things up.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I had created the mood for an intimacy with God.
- 27:44Speaker 2: And in the same way, we worship God through an intimacy.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That sets the mood for God to come. That's why
- 27:52Speaker 2: we have worship singers. All we want them to do
- 27:55Speaker 2: is set the mood for God to manifest himself. He
- 27:59Speaker 2: was here before the singers hit the stage. But what
- 28:03Speaker 2: they did was set the mood for him. Do you
- 28:06Speaker 2: hear what I'm saying? And if you want to be
- 28:08Speaker 2: more aware of being close to God, you've got to
- 28:11Speaker 2: start creating a mood for you to become aware of
- 28:15Speaker 2: the God who was there all the time. And that
- 28:18Speaker 2: means getting your mind and your focus and your stillness.
- 28:23Speaker 2: You're going to get in a place where you become aware.
- 28:26Speaker 2: It's not so much that God is moving toward you.
- 28:30Speaker 2: It's that you are moving toward him. Okay. And the
- 28:36Speaker 2: old folks used to call it consecration. And when they
- 28:39Speaker 2: said they were in consecration, they would consecrate themselves. And
- 28:44Speaker 2: that meant they didn't answer the phone. They weren't going
- 28:47Speaker 2: to be distracted or be bothered. You control your atmosphere.
- 28:52Speaker 2: You control your atmosphere. All the noise in your house
- 28:56Speaker 2: is coming from something you make. If you don't want
- 29:00Speaker 2: the music, cut it off. If the TV is a distraction,
- 29:04Speaker 2: cut it off. If the phone is bothering you, don't
- 29:07Speaker 2: answer it. If you're in consecration with God and you
- 29:10Speaker 2: want to be alone with him because this is you
- 29:12Speaker 2: and God having an intimate moment and I need that
- 29:16Speaker 2: intimate moment with God because it fills a void. And
- 29:20Speaker 2: if I don't have that intimate moment with God, I'm
- 29:23Speaker 2: going to seek an intimate moment with somebody else. Come on,
- 29:29Speaker 2: stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me. Because
- 29:32Speaker 2: I was made to have intimacy. I need to have intimacy.
- 29:36Speaker 2: And if I don't have intimacy with God, I'm going
- 29:39Speaker 2: to get frustrated. Intimacy is more than sex. It's intimacy.
- 29:45Speaker 2: I want to have intimacy with God. So I have
- 29:48Speaker 2: to create an atmosphere so that I can have an
- 29:51Speaker 2: encounter with God. Are you hearing what I'm saying? And
- 29:55Speaker 2: so what I started to say, and I stopped and
- 29:57Speaker 2: got on that side trail, answer that question is that
- 30:00Speaker 2: god is so many things that that the bible says
- 30:04Speaker 2: let's see let's see the bible said he is a
- 30:07Speaker 2: consuming fire the bible said that he is water out
- 30:12Speaker 2: of a rock the bible says he covers me with
- 30:15Speaker 2: his feathers the bible says he is my shield he
- 30:20Speaker 2: is my buckler All these things, it don't mean that
- 30:23Speaker 2: God is a shield. He is the rose of Sharon.
- 30:27Speaker 2: He is the lily of the valley. He is the
- 30:30Speaker 2: bright and morning star. He is my bulwark. He is
- 30:34Speaker 2: my battle axe. He is my trumpet. He is my peace.
- 30:39Speaker 2: He is altogether lovely. He is my salvation. He is
- 30:43Speaker 2: my strength. All of those metaphors and I still haven't
- 30:47Speaker 2: touched all the stuff that he is. Because he is
- 30:50Speaker 2: what he is and he can do whatever he wants
- 30:52Speaker 2: to do. He can be bread and turn around and
- 30:55Speaker 2: be water. He can be healing and turn around and
- 30:59Speaker 2: be life. He can be salvation. He can be judgment.
- 31:03Speaker 2: He can be judgment. He can be condemnation. He can
- 31:07Speaker 2: be deliverance. He can bring you out of bondage. He
- 31:10Speaker 2: can deal with you on any level you need to
- 31:13Speaker 2: be dealt with. He can be your defender. He can
- 31:16Speaker 2: be your security. He can be your protection. He can
- 31:20Speaker 2: be your help. He can be your physician and turn
- 31:23Speaker 2: around and be your father. He can be your father
- 31:26Speaker 2: and turn around and be your mother. He's so much
- 31:29Speaker 2: your mother that the Bible calls him El Shaddai, the
- 31:33Speaker 2: breasted one. He is the breasted one. And yet he
- 31:36Speaker 2: is our father. He is both things. He is complete
- 31:40Speaker 2: within himself, lacking nothing. So when God first created Adam,
- 31:45Speaker 2: he didn't create Adam. separate from Eve God created one
- 31:50Speaker 2: being and when he saw that it was not good
- 31:53Speaker 2: for him to be alone which means all one he
- 31:57Speaker 2: pulled the woman out of the man you understand what
- 32:00Speaker 2: I'm saying like you pull a key out of a
- 32:03Speaker 2: lock But in the beginning when he created us in
- 32:10Speaker 2: his likeness and in his image, he created one man.
- 32:13Speaker 2: And it was the one thing that he said wasn't good.
- 32:16Speaker 2: It's not good for him to be alone. It's not
- 32:18Speaker 2: good for him to be all one. Behold, O Israel,
- 32:22Speaker 2: the Lord thy God is one. So he put Adam
- 32:24Speaker 2: into a sleep and he did a surgery and he
- 32:27Speaker 2: took the woman out of the man. Thank you, Jesus.
- 32:31Speaker 2: So when we come back together, we become one. Yes.
- 32:34Speaker 2: We become what we were before. And so the reason
- 32:38Speaker 2: there's a celebration is because we are celebrating what we
- 32:42Speaker 2: were before. Y'all don't understand what we're saying. And all
- 32:45Speaker 2: of this is a revelation of God. It is an
- 32:48Speaker 2: intense understanding of who God is in your life. And
- 32:53Speaker 2: so the covenant of marriage, the bed is holy and
- 32:58Speaker 2: the bed is undefiled. Yeah, the bed is undefiled. The
- 33:04Speaker 2: reason it's undefiled is because we are celebrating what we
- 33:09Speaker 2: were before. We are connected. In him I live, in
- 33:12Speaker 2: him I move, in him I have my being. Behold,
- 33:16Speaker 2: our God is one God, one God. There was one Adam.
- 33:20Speaker 2: He put Adam into a sleep and then he pulled
- 33:23Speaker 2: Eve out of it. And when he looked at her,
- 33:26Speaker 2: he saw himself. He saw himself. She was his body.
- 33:32Speaker 2: She was his body and she was his bride. You
- 33:36Speaker 2: can say both things about the same woman and both
- 33:38Speaker 2: of them are true. So he says, whoa, man, she's
- 33:42Speaker 2: a man with a womb. She's a man with an opening.
- 33:46Speaker 2: She's a man with a cleft. Come on. Y'all ain't
- 33:51Speaker 2: going to bother me tonight. You're not going to bother
- 33:54Speaker 2: me tonight. She's a man with a cleft. She's a
- 33:57Speaker 2: man with a cleft. Look at that. Look at that.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Look at that. Now show me your glory. Show me
- 34:03Speaker 2: your glory. Everything about what we're going through is an
- 34:07Speaker 2: expression of the glory of God. Are you getting it?
- 34:20Speaker 2: You getting it? You getting it? You getting it? You
- 34:22Speaker 2: getting it? And whenever we celebrate that oneness, life comes
- 34:28Speaker 2: out of it. Life comes out of it. And whenever
- 34:32Speaker 2: I came into his bleeding side, life came out of it.
- 34:36Speaker 2: And I became a new creature in Christ Jesus. And
- 34:39Speaker 2: anytime you become one, all of a sudden life comes
- 34:43Speaker 2: out of it. And so when Moses is in the
- 34:46Speaker 2: cleft of the rock, life came out of it. So
- 34:49Speaker 2: I will show mercy unto whom I will show mercy.
- 34:52Speaker 2: And I will show grace unto who I will show grace.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Because we are celebrating the oneness that we have with God. See,
- 34:59Speaker 2: I got to get you from trying to talk God
- 35:02Speaker 2: into coming in the room. Why would you talk God
- 35:07Speaker 2: into coming in where he already is? You just got
- 35:13Speaker 2: to put all those other people out. all that other
- 35:17Speaker 2: noise out so that you can focus on what is.
- 35:22Speaker 2: You know you don't want to see the Avon lady
- 35:24Speaker 2: when you're making love. Come on somebody, don't come by
- 35:29Speaker 2: here Jehovah's Witness knocking at the door. This is the
- 35:33Speaker 2: wrong time. It's not the right time. So when we
- 35:35Speaker 2: have our intimate moment with God, you have shut everything
- 35:39Speaker 2: out so that you can celebrate who has come in. Amen. Oh,
- 35:44Speaker 2: do you hear what I'm saying to you? And so
- 35:47Speaker 2: all of this is a picture of God, just like
- 35:49Speaker 2: the rock is a picture of God, just like the
- 35:52Speaker 2: cloud above me by day and the fire by night
- 35:55Speaker 2: is a picture of God, just like the man and
- 35:57Speaker 2: the woman coming together is a picture of God. There's
- 36:00Speaker 2: so many ways to express him because he's altogether lovely.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Y'all didn't hear me. He's altogether lovely. He's altogether lovely.
- 36:10Speaker 2: He's altogether lovely. The Bible said when Jesus showed himself
- 36:14Speaker 2: alive for 40 days to the two disciples on the
- 36:17Speaker 2: road to Emmaus, they saw him in the order of
- 36:21Speaker 2: the breaking of the bread. They saw him in bread.
- 36:28Speaker 2: They saw him in bread. They've been walking with him.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And didn't recognize that they were in his presence. But
- 36:37Speaker 2: when he broke the bread, they saw him in the
- 36:40Speaker 2: order of the breaking of the bread. Because what the
- 36:43Speaker 2: bread was on the table, he was unto the church.
- 36:48Speaker 2: And they saw him in the order of the breaking
- 36:50Speaker 2: of bread. He's bread, but he's wine. Come on, come on, somebody.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Come on, somebody. So all of these things God uses
- 37:00Speaker 2: to teach us who he is. He is all things,
- 37:05Speaker 2: all things, complete in himself. By him, Colossians said, by him,
- 37:10Speaker 2: all things consist. That means if God leaves the room,
- 37:15Speaker 2: the carpet falls apart. My clothes fall apart. The pews
- 37:19Speaker 2: fall apart. God is holding all things together. If you
- 37:23Speaker 2: get a scientist, he'll show you the molecular structure of
- 37:27Speaker 2: the wood, that the wood is held together by something
- 37:30Speaker 2: you can't even see. The distance between atoms is God.
- 37:38Speaker 2: And you trying to find him? You can't move without him.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You can't breathe without him. You can't live without him.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Are you seeing what I'm saying? Let me move on.
- 37:48Speaker 2: I don't want to spend too much time on one thing.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Are y'all getting something out of this? No, we're going
- 37:53Speaker 2: to walk it out. We're going to walk it out. Ten,
- 37:55Speaker 2: three people say we're going to walk it out. We're
- 37:58Speaker 2: going to walk it out. We're going to walk it out.
- 38:00Speaker 2: We're going to walk it out. We're going to walk
- 38:02Speaker 2: it out. We're going to walk it out. We're going
- 38:05Speaker 2: to walk it out. We're going to walk it out.
- 38:07Speaker 2: This is Wednesday. Walk it out. We're going to walk
- 38:10Speaker 2: out the word. We're going to walk out the word.
- 38:12Speaker 2: We're going to walk out the word. We're going to
- 38:14Speaker 2: walk out the word. And I'm going to be honest
- 38:16Speaker 2: with you. One of the problems that we have today
- 38:20Speaker 2: is the only experience you have with the word comes
- 38:23Speaker 2: from the preacher. Are you seeing what I'm saying? And
- 38:30Speaker 2: what pastor is doing is pastor is trying to get
- 38:33Speaker 2: you to have a relationship with your Bible, with your word,
- 38:38Speaker 2: so that we don't just entertain you every Sunday, but
- 38:41Speaker 2: you start to have an experience with the word. And see,
- 38:44Speaker 2: the best way to do it when you're starting out
- 38:46Speaker 2: and you don't know how to do it real good
- 38:48Speaker 2: is to go behind what we just studied. and read
- 38:52Speaker 2: it again and read it again and cross-reference it and
- 38:56Speaker 2: read it again so that you can understand it because
- 38:59Speaker 2: I am speaking revelation that I learned 40 years ago.
- 39:04Speaker 2: My sister will tell you I was teaching like this
- 39:07Speaker 2: when we was in the storefront. This is the same
- 39:10Speaker 2: word because the word don't change. See, the word don't change.
- 39:15Speaker 2: The word's not going to change on you. So once
- 39:18Speaker 2: you get it in you, you got it. If they
- 39:20Speaker 2: take your Bible away, you can still preach. I ain't
- 39:24Speaker 2: looked at my Bible yet. I can still preach it.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Thy word have I hid in my heart that I
- 39:29Speaker 2: might not know. sin against thee. I got the word
- 39:32Speaker 2: on the inside. If they burn my Bible, I got
- 39:35Speaker 2: the word on the inside. The word is down inside
- 39:38Speaker 2: of me. I got to quit because I feel myself
- 39:41Speaker 2: getting happy and I'm not supposed to be getting happy.
- 39:44Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be walking it out, but I feel something.
- 39:47Speaker 2: You got to get this word down on the inside
- 39:49Speaker 2: because we're living in the end time and we're living
- 39:52Speaker 2: in a time where they might take your Bible. You
- 39:55Speaker 2: can take my Bible, but you can't take my word.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Oh no, because my word is in my heart. My
- 40:01Speaker 2: word is in my spirit. My word is in my mouth.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Hallelujah to God. The centurion says, speak the word only
- 40:10Speaker 2: and my servant shall live. The word is in your mouth.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Peter said, I can't depart from you. In your words,
- 40:17Speaker 2: in your mouth is the words of eternal life. Every
- 40:21Speaker 2: time Jesus opened his mouth, word came out. That's why
- 40:24Speaker 2: he had to shut up to die. Because even when
- 40:27Speaker 2: he was on the cross, as long as he kept talking,
- 40:30Speaker 2: he couldn't die because he had life in his mouth.
- 40:34Speaker 2: And every time he spoke a word, death had to
- 40:36Speaker 2: back up. Every time he said something, death had to
- 40:39Speaker 2: back up because word is in his mouth. Okay, come on.
- 40:52Speaker 2: You got to go. Sit down. Sit down, we got
- 40:54Speaker 2: to get some more light. Slap somebody and say, walk
- 41:11Speaker 2: it out Wednesday. Yeah, yeah. My pastor has designed a
- 41:20Speaker 2: place so that we will be more been entertained on Sunday.
- 41:25Speaker 2: We will have a relationship with the word of God
- 41:28Speaker 2: so that Sunday becomes more meaningful. It makes a difference
- 41:32Speaker 2: when you preach to people who have a relationship with
- 41:35Speaker 2: the word. You don't have to break down A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.
- 41:49Speaker 2: You don't have to do all that because they already
- 41:50Speaker 2: know that. So you can go ahead and cut to
- 41:53Speaker 2: the chase. God's got something he want to show you.
- 41:57Speaker 2: He got something he want to give you. But you
- 42:00Speaker 2: have to prepare the atmosphere. Stir up the gift that
- 42:04Speaker 2: lies within you. Get ready for the word that God's
- 42:07Speaker 2: going to give you. God will give you revelation. It's
- 42:10Speaker 2: not just me. It's not just me. I'm not some
- 42:14Speaker 2: special person that God, I'm the only one that God
- 42:17Speaker 2: talks to. God will talk to you. You don't have
- 42:20Speaker 2: to have no collar around your neck. You don't have
- 42:22Speaker 2: to wear no robe. You don't have to sit on
- 42:25Speaker 2: no pulpit. God will come right in your house. God
- 42:28Speaker 2: will get on the motorcycle with you. And while you're
- 42:31Speaker 2: hitting the motorcycle, he'll ride the motorcycle with you. Can
- 42:35Speaker 2: I get a witness, somebody? God will get in the
- 42:37Speaker 2: pool with you. And while you're swimming, he'll talk to you.
- 42:41Speaker 2: He'll talk to you anywhere. I remember when my mother
- 42:50Speaker 2: died and I was in the pool. And I could swim,
- 42:53Speaker 2: but I couldn't tread water. Couldn't tell you why I
- 42:56Speaker 2: still can't. But I could swim from one side to
- 42:59Speaker 2: the other. And one side was shallow and the other
- 43:01Speaker 2: side was deep. And I was in the pool and
- 43:04Speaker 2: I was grieving. And I was swimming and I was crying.
- 43:08Speaker 2: And I was swimming across the pool. But I couldn't
- 43:11Speaker 2: stop swimming as I got to the deep end because
- 43:14Speaker 2: if I stopped swimming, I was going to drown. And
- 43:16Speaker 2: while I was swimming, he said, the same way you're
- 43:19Speaker 2: getting to the other side, I'm going to get you
- 43:21Speaker 2: to the other side of this. Just keep kicking. Just
- 43:24Speaker 2: keep kicking. Just keep kicking. Just keep kicking. You'd be
- 43:27Speaker 2: surprised how God would deal with your natural problems in
- 43:31Speaker 2: a spiritual revelation. And all of a sudden, I couldn't
- 43:35Speaker 2: tell my water from the water in the pool, but
- 43:38Speaker 2: I knew if I kept kicking, I would get through
- 43:40Speaker 2: to the other side. It was too deep for me.
- 43:44Speaker 2: If I stopped right here, I'm going to drown. But
- 43:47Speaker 2: if I keep on going, I'm going to make it
- 43:49Speaker 2: to the other side. I don't know who I said
- 43:51Speaker 2: that for. But you might be grieving right now. But
- 43:54Speaker 2: if you keep on kicking, you're going to make it
- 43:56Speaker 2: to the other side. It might be somebody watching us online.
- 43:59Speaker 2: But if you keep kicking, maybe he left you. Maybe
- 44:03Speaker 2: she left you. But if you keep kicking, baby, don't
- 44:06Speaker 2: stop kicking. You'll make it to the other side. Don't
- 44:09Speaker 2: try to tread water. Try to make it all the
- 44:12Speaker 2: way to the other side. If you make it to
- 44:14Speaker 2: the other side... you're going to look back and say,
- 44:16Speaker 2: how I got over. How I got over. You know
- 44:21Speaker 2: my soul looks back and wonders how I got over. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Anybody in here made it through some stuff and you
- 44:33Speaker 2: don't even know how you got over? Good. Okay. Let's
- 44:38Speaker 2: do another one. How do I overcome the shame and
- 44:42Speaker 2: guilt following a phase where I've fallen back into sin
- 44:48Speaker 2: as my sins are rooted in trauma. I've experienced throughout
- 44:54Speaker 2: my life how do I walk and be in relationship
- 44:58Speaker 2: with God while I work on healing and overcoming my
- 45:02Speaker 2: trauma and my sinful responses to my traumas. And the question, Daisha,
- 45:10Speaker 2: the question tells me you spent more time with your
- 45:13Speaker 2: therapist than you have with your God. See, therapy is
- 45:22Speaker 2: good because it gives language to your feeling. It gives language.
- 45:28Speaker 2: It gives you, so suddenly you got a language for it.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Because I can tell by the way you talk, you've
- 45:32Speaker 2: been talking to the therapist or you picked up some
- 45:34Speaker 2: language somewhere where you have identified and you've associated your
- 45:39Speaker 2: lust or whatever it is you're doing with your trauma.
- 45:42Speaker 2: And you need to do that. You need to understand
- 45:44Speaker 2: what that is. You need to understand where that came from.
- 45:47Speaker 2: But all of that is looking back. See, when you
- 45:53Speaker 2: get past that, when you work through that, the end results,
- 45:57Speaker 2: you're meant to experience it, but you're not supposed to
- 46:00Speaker 2: stay there. You're supposed to go through that to the
- 46:03Speaker 2: other side. Because there's got to be something on the
- 46:06Speaker 2: other side or you wouldn't have had the trauma to
- 46:08Speaker 2: begin with. The trauma is a sign that there's triumph
- 46:13Speaker 2: on the other side. And that's why I didn't stop
- 46:16Speaker 2: with therapy. Therapy just gives you a language to tell
- 46:20Speaker 2: you why you did what you did. But deliverance takes
- 46:23Speaker 2: you from where you were over into the next dimension
- 46:28Speaker 2: so that you can have outcome that you might have
- 46:30Speaker 2: a life. and have life more abundantly. I didn't come
- 46:33Speaker 2: so you could have trauma. I didn't come so you
- 46:36Speaker 2: could have temptation. I came that you might have life.
- 46:39Speaker 2: The therapist came so that you might have language for
- 46:42Speaker 2: your trauma, but you've learned that language, but you haven't
- 46:46Speaker 2: learned the language of your deliverance. This is important that
- 46:54Speaker 2: you understand this because if you don't understand this, you
- 46:58Speaker 2: will get buried in the language of your pain. And
- 47:02Speaker 2: it will become a license for you to stay in
- 47:06Speaker 2: your sin. And you'll know that you've been there too
- 47:14Speaker 2: long because you keep looking back. You got to look up.
- 47:21Speaker 2: For your redemption draw nigh. Nobody in the Bible got
- 47:26Speaker 2: redeemed looking back. There were some people that turned into
- 47:29Speaker 2: salt looking back, but nobody got redeemed looking back. And
- 47:34Speaker 2: if you don't want to turn into a pillar of salt,
- 47:36Speaker 2: you can't keep looking back. Once you understand what happened
- 47:40Speaker 2: and why it happened and you understand why you did
- 47:43Speaker 2: what you did, that's enough of that. We got to
- 47:46Speaker 2: go beyond that and going into who am I supposed
- 47:49Speaker 2: to be? Who am I that the devil was so
- 47:52Speaker 2: afraid of me? that he gave me this kind of
- 47:54Speaker 2: trauma to keep me from becoming. I want to discover
- 47:58Speaker 2: who I am, not who I was, not what they did,
- 48:02Speaker 2: not what happened to me. I don't need a license
- 48:05Speaker 2: and a visa to justify my sin. I need a
- 48:10Speaker 2: vision to prepare me for my future. Shake hands with
- 48:16Speaker 2: somebody and say, God, I got something for you. All
- 48:24Speaker 2: the stuff you've experienced through your life, you haven't even
- 48:26Speaker 2: got to the good part yet. How do I walk
- 48:30Speaker 2: and be in relationship with God? You haven't even gotten
- 48:33Speaker 2: to the good part yet. You're still having relationship with
- 48:37Speaker 2: the trauma. And you're still trying to work through your healing.
- 48:43Speaker 2: You can't heal yourself. Let me make it plain. When
- 48:49Speaker 2: the woman with the issue of blood, she crawled all
- 48:52Speaker 2: the way over until she got to Jesus. And once
- 48:55Speaker 2: she touched the hem of his garment, you don't never
- 48:58Speaker 2: read about her crawling no more. You're still down there
- 49:01Speaker 2: on the floor, crawling around on the floor, playing with
- 49:04Speaker 2: the hem of his garment. Once she touched the hem
- 49:07Speaker 2: of his garment, she stood up and walked away through
- 49:10Speaker 2: the crowd. And I'm trying to get you up off
- 49:13Speaker 2: the floor. Touch your neighbor and say, get up. off
- 49:20Speaker 2: of that floor. Get up off of that floor. Get
- 49:23Speaker 2: up off that floor. She walked away. Jesus said, who
- 49:27Speaker 2: touched me? And she kept walking. She wasn't crawling no more.
- 49:31Speaker 2: She wasn't bleeding no more. She wasn't hurting no more.
- 49:35Speaker 2: Because once she made contact with Jesus, she didn't look
- 49:40Speaker 2: back no more. She went from being unclean to being
- 49:45Speaker 2: made whole. Am I helping anybody? Okay.
- 49:50Speaker 4: Okay.
- 49:51Speaker 2: Give me my next one. That's for Daisha. Okay. Confirm
- 49:55Speaker 2: or clarify how my healthcare business can be considered as
- 50:00Speaker 2: ministry for the kingdom. I'm struggling with staying true to
- 50:06Speaker 2: the call and using metrics to define its success. If
- 50:11Speaker 2: it's ministry, I don't want to be caught up in
- 50:14Speaker 2: the metrics, but I also want to be supported by
- 50:18Speaker 2: this business. Baby. Let's start with the first premise of
- 50:25Speaker 2: the question. If you're running a healthcare business, it's got
- 50:31Speaker 2: to be a ministry because I am body, soul, and spirit.
- 50:37Speaker 2: I am body, soul, and spirit. Now watch this. This
- 50:39Speaker 2: is important. You know that you're body, soul, and spirit.
- 50:44Speaker 2: But what you may not realize is whatever affects the
- 50:48Speaker 2: body affects the soul. affects the spirit, okay? I was
- 50:56Speaker 2: reading a book called The Body Keeps Score. So when
- 51:01Speaker 2: the soul is wounded, the body keeps score. So if
- 51:06Speaker 2: you don't deal with a soul wound, after a while,
- 51:09Speaker 2: the body's gonna start showing up in swelling or overeating
- 51:14Speaker 2: or diabetes or some dis-ease. dis-ease is because there's no
- 51:21Speaker 2: separation between body, soul, and spirit or you would die.
- 51:27Speaker 2: Death is separation. When the spirit leaves the body, then
- 51:33Speaker 2: the body is left laying up here in a coffin.
- 51:36Speaker 2: That's not me. That's where I lived. Now, once you
- 51:43Speaker 2: understand that Jesus said don't fear the one who can
- 51:46Speaker 2: kill the body, but fear the one who can kill
- 51:49Speaker 2: the body and the soul. They are interconnected. And let
- 51:53Speaker 2: me bring this a little deeper. Because we have chiropractors
- 51:58Speaker 2: and we have orthodontists and we have orthopedic doctors and
- 52:03Speaker 2: we have neurologists and we have all of these different specialists,
- 52:07Speaker 2: we think that all those parts are different from the body,
- 52:12Speaker 2: but they're all connected. Just because they studied one part
- 52:16Speaker 2: of it doesn't mean that it doesn't affect everything. If
- 52:19Speaker 2: you had back surgery, it's going to affect your knees.
- 52:24Speaker 2: If you had knee surgery, it's going to affect your ankles.
- 52:27Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying? Everything is connected to everything.
- 52:32Speaker 2: The same blood that's in your fingertips are in your toes.
- 52:38Speaker 2: I can get the same rhythm and the same beat
- 52:40Speaker 2: from your ankle that you get from your wrists. Because
- 52:44Speaker 2: we are interconnected through miles of highway that give us
- 52:48Speaker 2: our circulatory system. But we also have a nervous system.
- 52:52Speaker 2: You can't have one without the other. You can't digest
- 52:56Speaker 2: your food without your nervous system. Your nervous system and
- 53:00Speaker 2: your muscular system is what pushes your food through your body.
- 53:04Speaker 2: That's all connected. When you get stressed out in your
- 53:08Speaker 2: soul and in your mind and you don't get rid
- 53:11Speaker 2: of that, that shows up in your body. It shows
- 53:15Speaker 2: up as hypertension. It shows up as migraine headaches. All
- 53:19Speaker 2: those things are interconnected. So if you've got a health
- 53:22Speaker 2: care ministry, if you've got a health care business, that
- 53:26Speaker 2: is a ministry. And you say you don't want to
- 53:28Speaker 2: get caught up in the metrics because you think there's
- 53:30Speaker 2: a difference between metrics and ministry, but that's not true.
- 53:35Speaker 2: That's not true. It only appears to be true. There
- 53:39Speaker 2: is no difference between metrics and ministry because it costs
- 53:43Speaker 2: you to do ministry. If it don't cost you to
- 53:49Speaker 2: do ministry, why was Jesus paying taxes? Jesus. Jesus didn't
- 53:59Speaker 2: have no building. And he was still paying taxes to Caesar.
- 54:05Speaker 2: And they told him the taxes are due. And he said,
- 54:07Speaker 2: go down there and get it out of the fish's mouth.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Ain't that metrics? Come on, ain't that metrics? I must
- 54:18Speaker 2: be about my father's. Okay. Isn't that metrics? You got
- 54:23Speaker 2: to understand that. You got to realize Judas was his father. Pressure.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Come on. Ain't that metrics? You got to change your
- 54:33Speaker 2: understanding of ministry because you have been taught that ministry
- 54:38Speaker 2: freely you have received, freely you are to give. The
- 54:42Speaker 2: water is free, but the pipe ain't. You understand what
- 54:48Speaker 2: I'm saying to you? Come on here, somebody. Talk to me. Yeah, yeah,
- 54:53Speaker 2: the water might be free, but the pipe ain't. You
- 54:55Speaker 2: got to put in infrastructure to conduct it. So you
- 54:59Speaker 2: can't separate one thing from the other. And by the way,
- 55:02Speaker 2: the metrics don't take away from the sincerity of the ministry.
- 55:10Speaker 2: The metrics don't take away from the sincerity of the
- 55:12Speaker 2: ministry or we wouldn't have tithes and offerings. The metrics
- 55:17Speaker 2: don't take away from that unless you're carnal minded. In fact,
- 55:22Speaker 2: when Abraham said, me and the lad are going yonder
- 55:26Speaker 2: to worship, he was offering up sacrifice to God. There
- 55:30Speaker 2: was no separation between one and the other. Let me
- 55:33Speaker 2: go on, let me go on, because I want to
- 55:34Speaker 2: get to this next question. I hope that helped you, Kim. Okay.
- 55:40Speaker 2: Can I get clarity on why when Moses asked God
- 55:43Speaker 2: to show him his glory in verse 19 of Exodus
- 55:46Speaker 2: chapter 33, why did God feel the need to say
- 55:51Speaker 2: that he will have mercy on who he will have mercy, etc.
- 55:55Speaker 2: Was there a specific reason why he had to address
- 55:59Speaker 2: that in the midst of Moses' request to see God's glory?
- 56:03Speaker 2: To get to see God's glory required mercy because they
- 56:07Speaker 2: had been dancing around a golden calf. They had been
- 56:12Speaker 2: in idolatry. And God says, I will have mercy on
- 56:16Speaker 2: whom I will have mercy. I know you're down there
- 56:20Speaker 2: acting a fool, but I will have mercy on whom
- 56:26Speaker 2: I will have mercy. I will show glory to whom
- 56:30Speaker 2: I show glory. You don't get to choose who gets
- 56:33Speaker 2: to be anointed. God says, that's my business. If I
- 56:41Speaker 2: decide to use him, your role in your eyes don't
- 56:44Speaker 2: stop him from being anointed. If I decide to use her,
- 56:50Speaker 2: I'll never invite her. That won't stop her from being
- 56:54Speaker 2: able to sing. She'll be singing right on to the end.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Because if God chooses to use her, he'll raise up
- 57:00Speaker 2: a platform to use her. And you'll be talking about
- 57:03Speaker 2: what she did. And she'll be getting people delivered and
- 57:06Speaker 2: set free by the power of God. Are you hearing
- 57:08Speaker 2: what I'm saying to you? Can I get a witness
- 57:10Speaker 2: in here, somebody? Talk to me, somebody. So you have
- 57:15Speaker 2: to understand that this is a place of, let me
- 57:19Speaker 2: see here. Oh, I'm doing good.
- 57:22Speaker 4: Okay.
- 57:22Speaker 2: This is a place of regeneration. This is a place
- 57:26Speaker 2: of regeneration up on the mountaintop with God. Every time
- 57:30Speaker 2: Moses went up on the mountaintop, something changed. Every time
- 57:35Speaker 2: he went up on the mountaintop, something happened. Either he
- 57:39Speaker 2: caught on fire or the mountain caught on fire or
- 57:42Speaker 2: the bush started burning or he didn't come back down anymore.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Every time he went up on the mountaintop, something changed.
- 57:49Speaker 2: Every time you go up on the mountain, something will change.
- 57:53Speaker 2: Are you hearing what I'm saying to you? And God
- 57:56Speaker 2: begins to show him his glory. Now, now, now, we're
- 58:00Speaker 2: going to go somewhere now. We're going to go somewhere.
- 58:03Speaker 2: Y'all going to go with me?
- 58:05Speaker 5: Okay.
- 58:06Speaker 2: And the Bible said, He covered the cleft of the
- 58:08Speaker 2: rock with his hand. You remember reading that? And it
- 58:11Speaker 2: said that Moses beheld his back parts. There are two
- 58:15Speaker 2: schools of thought to that. One is Moses beheld his afterglow. Okay,
- 58:23Speaker 2: like the glory of God was so lit up that
- 58:26Speaker 2: even after God had passed by, there was still an illumination.
- 58:31Speaker 2: I'll show you how strong it was. It got in
- 58:33Speaker 2: Moses' face. And when Moses came down off the mountaintop,
- 58:38Speaker 2: in the King James Bible it says, Moses' face shone
- 58:42Speaker 2: with the glory of God. And it was illuminated out
- 58:45Speaker 2: of his face because whatever you look at, you become.
- 58:52Speaker 2: We shall behold him. We shall behold him. When we
- 59:02Speaker 2: behold him, we become him. Okay, okay. But there's yet
- 59:08Speaker 2: a deeper meaning. when it says he showed him his
- 59:12Speaker 2: back parts. Moses wrote the Pentateuch. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy,
- 59:20Speaker 2: and Numbers. How did he learn in the beginning God
- 59:25Speaker 2: created the heavens and the earth? God showed his back parts.
- 59:31Speaker 2: He showed his history. He showed where it started. He
- 59:38Speaker 2: had to show it to him because Moses wasn't there.
- 59:42Speaker 2: Come on, come on. Come on, somebody. He had to
- 59:45Speaker 2: show it to him. Moses is responsible for the first
- 59:49Speaker 2: writings of the first five chapters of the book of
- 59:52Speaker 2: the Bible. And by the time Moses wrote it, it
- 59:55Speaker 2: had already happened. So that's back parts. Are y'all seeing
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: what I'm saying? The first five books of the Bible
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: are called the Pentateuch. Penta, five. Pentecost, 50. Penta means five.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: So the Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Moses writes the first five books of the Bible so
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: that we will have a beginning. There was no history.
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: And when he saw the back parts of God, he
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: begins to write down a history. Are you getting it? Now,
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: let me show you something. In the beginning, God created
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: the heavens and the earth. It's parallel with John. In
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: and the Word was God. Now, y'all with me? You
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: with me? Okay, let's go. If in the beginning was
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: the Word, and there wasn't no paper in the beginning,
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: and there wasn't no pen in the beginning, then is
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: the word of God just the Bible? Man shall not
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: out of the mouth of God. Was God talking before
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: there was printing press? Was God talking before there was typewriters?
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Was God talking before we had pens? Was God talking
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: before there was paper? God talks in you. God talks
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: in your belly. God talks in your spirit. That's just
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: as much word when he speaks in you as it
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: is word when we read it out of the Bible.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: This is paper. Are you hearing the word of the Lord?
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: Dry bones, hear ye the words of the Lord. He
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: didn't throw no Bible at the dry bones. He gave
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: them the Word, and immediately they stood up and started
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: walking on their feet. You got to understand, when you
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: talk about the Word, when you talk about the Bible,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: it is the Word of God. It is the written
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Word of God, but the Word of God is bigger
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: than writing. The Word of God is bigger than hieroglyphics.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: The Word of God is bigger than typewriters. The Word
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: of God is bigger than anything that's ever been printed.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: The Word of God was the Word of God before
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: there was anybody there to say amen to it. The
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: Word of God, Adam was created by the Word. The
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: Son was created by the Word. Let me show you
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: something deep. In the beginning, God created the heavens and
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: the earth. And the earth was without form and void
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: and darkness covered the face of the deep. And God said,
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: let there be light. And there was light. And it
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: was good. It wasn't until the fourth day that he
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: created the sun. Because the word is light. In him
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: was life, and the life was the light of men.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: And the light shined in darkness, and the darkness comprehended
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: it not. I'm going too deep, shit. Okay, so you
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: got to understand in enlightenment. Paul says in Ephesians, I
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: love this. Paul said, I pray that the eyes of
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: your understanding may be enlightened. Think about that. Enlightened. to
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: have light on the inside. I believe, this is just
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: what I believe, I believe that when the voice of
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: the Lord walked through the cool of the garden and said, Adam,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: where art thou? He was looking for the light. The
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: light had gone out. Sin had come in. That's why
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: when you start talking about glory, you start talking about light.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Let me prove it to you by the Bible. Because
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: I want you to say something because I said it.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: The Shekinah glory lit up the holies of holies in
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: the temple. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Okay. In
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: the outer court, you had daylight. Okay. In the inner court,
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: you had candlelight. In the holies of holies, you had
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: divine light. There were no candles in the holies of holies.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: And the veil was in the holies of holies. And
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: the only way you could see is that divine light.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: The entrance of thy word giveth light. Are y'all following
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Okay, we're going to go a little
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: bit further. We're going to go a little bit further.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: I want to pull this. If you found, wait a minute,
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: let me go to the other question. Yeah, that's one.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Can Bishop go over what he meant about the calf?
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: I didn't quite understand the relationship with the calf when
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: he said dancing with a calf. Thank you, Felicia. I'm
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: glad you asked the question because you're probably not the
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: only one that didn't understand that. You're probably not the
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: only one that didn't realize that the Egyptians' God was
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: shaped like a calf. And the Hebrews who came into
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: Egypt knowing Jehovah God had been there for 40 generations,
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: 400 years. They've been there so long that they thought
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: their God was the Egyptians' God. So when they borrowed
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: all the gold from all the Egyptians and they left
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: Egypt and Pharaoh starts chasing them, he's not trying to
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: get the slaves back. Yeah, he's trying to get the gold.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Follow the money. He's trying to get the gold back.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: He could get some more slaves anywhere. He's trying to
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: get the gold. They had broken down the GDP of Egypt. No,
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: you don't get it. The Bible says that they left
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: with so much gold that they had to put it
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: on the backs of their children. If you get this,
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: this is going to blow your mind. That means God
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: gave them so much gold that they had generational blessings.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: That means that the father and the mother couldn't carry
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: the gold without the children getting some gold on their
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: back and carrying it across too. And no wonder Pharaoh's
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: got 600 chosen chariots trying to get it. He ain't
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: after people. He's trying to get the gold back. The
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Bible says that when they did finally get ready to
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: build the tabernacle, they brought so much gold that Moses
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: had to stop them from bringing in gold. But the
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: only problem was, before they made the tabernacle, they had
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: made the golden calf. Where did they get the gold?
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: They took the gold that God had given them, the
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: wealth of the unjust is laid up for the just,
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: and made it to build the idol that the unjust had.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: And God said, thou shalt have no other God before me.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: You mean you took the gold I gave you and
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: made another God that gave you nothing? But isn't that
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: what we do all the time? Don't we take the
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: gold God gives us and give it and make another
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: God that gave us nothing? How many people got your money?
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: How many people you spent your money on and never
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: saw them again? How many people lied to you and
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: took your money and went on about their business? How
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: many people did you spend money on trying to date
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: and now they're somewhere else? Don't look guilty. Just keep
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: looking straight ahead. Won't nobody even know I'm talking to you.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Just keep looking straight ahead. You bought dresses. You bought clothes.
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: You bought tickets. You took them out to dinner. You
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: paid for the mama's light bill. You did all that stuff.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: That's golden calves. In fact, the only time you have
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: trouble giving money is to the God that gave it
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: to you. You made gods out of people that was
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: using you, abusing you, cheating on you, mistreating you, beating you,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: slapping you upside the head. You make gods out of them.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: Them are your idols. And when we get ready to
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: raise an offering, you're the first one to look funny.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: All they want is your money. You got the right
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: sentence on the wrong man. You see how Satan will
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: twist our minds around and cause us to go after
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: corrupt things and the holy things will become vile and
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: the vile things we treat them like they're holy. Let
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: who thought it not robbery to be equal with God,
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: yet made of himself no reputation, but humbled himself and
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: became obedient even unto the death of the cross. I'm
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: about to feel like preaching. I better stop. I'm supposed
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: to be walking it out. Y'all trying to push me
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: over the edge because I feel something about to creep
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: up in here. I feel some glory about to take
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: over this place. And the problem was they were God's people,
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: but they were building idols. To another God. You can't
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: tell me that ain't in here. Of course it's in here.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: That's why God said I will show mercy to whom
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: I will show mercy. Because you know, you know God
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: is showing you mercy. Don't you be sitting there with
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: your teeth in your mouth acting like you don't understand
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: the words that are coming out of my mouth. You
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: know you done paid for stuff that wasn't holy. You
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: must understand then those things become idols in your life.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: Let's take it away from the corrupt stuff. Your children
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: can become idols. You will go down to school and
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: get into a fight with a woman you don't even
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: know over something that the child said that you ain't
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: even sure whether it's true or not. And you will
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: jump out through the window ready to fight because they're
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: messing with little yo-yos. And little yo-yo has cussed the
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: teacher out. She's thrown the desk across the room. But
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: your little yo-yo could do no wrong. You know what
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: that is? Idolatry. Idolatry. So when I talk about them
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: dancing naked around the calf, what calf have you been
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: dancing naked around? That's what the text means. We prove
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: what we love by how we give. If I get
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: ready to run an investigation on Pastor Vinshard, I'm going
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: to start going through his accounts because I'm going to
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: learn 90% of what I need to know about him
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: By how he spends his money. If you get ready
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: to do a business deal with me, the first thing
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: I'm going to ask is three years of your bank statements.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: Because how you handle your money tells me whether I
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: should trust you with mine. If there's a crime committed,
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: I'm going to check the life insurance policies and let
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: her turn up dead. We're going to check everything. We're
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: going everywhere to see if you took out a policy
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: because we're looking for probable cause. Money tells you what's
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: in the heart. Money tells you what's in the heart.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: If God gets in the heart, the money ceases to
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: be a problem. The only reason the money is a
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: problem for you is that God hasn't gotten in the heart.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: You think it's that you don't have enough, but you
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: don't understand. God will give you the spirit of wealth.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: The Lord told me to break the spirit of poverty
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: off of you. I don't know who you are, but
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: if you were raised in an environment of lack and
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: need and not enough and you're sick of it and
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: it's holding you back, the money that's attracted to you
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: can't come to you because you won't accept it. And
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: I'm told to break the spirit. Stand up on your
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: feet and raise your hand. I declare right now in
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: the name of Jesus that the spirit of poverty will
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: be broken off of your life. I come against that
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: spirit right now in the name of Jesus. I don't
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: care whether you got a dollar or $ 10, 000. I come
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: against the spirit. And while I'm breaking spirit, I curse
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: the spirit of sickness to come out of your body
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. As soon as your knees
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: stop hurting, your back go out. As soon as your
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: back go out, your head start hurting. The devil is alive.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: That spirit is looking for a place to hide. I
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: command it in the name of Jesus. To pick up
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: your weapons and flee in the name of Jesus. You're
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: going to get a mindset. And out of your mind
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: is going to come abundance. You're watching online. God is
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: going to do something that gives you a mindset. You're
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: one idea away. from every promise of God. You're one
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: idea away from a million dollar blessing. You're one idea
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: away from owning your own house. You're one idea away
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: from having a summer cottage. You're one idea away from
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: owning your own boat. You're one idea away. Just one idea.
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: Just one idea. Just one idea. How can you be
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: somebody that makes cars and then turn around and make
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: a restaurant? He thought it up as a man thinketh.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: If you receive that, praise him for it. And when
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: you get home, will you break that off of your
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: children and stop telling them what they don't have and
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: what you can't afford and you just raising them by yourself?
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: All you're doing is pressing that spirit into that child.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Tell them we may not have it right now, but
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: we're going to get it. We're going to get it.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: Which one do you like? Let's go pick it out
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: and let's start planning on it. And tell me what
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: color it's gonna be. And tell me what it's gonna
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: be like when you drive it. And what school do
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: you wanna go to? And what college do you wanna
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: be in? Let me buy you some books so you
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: can start reading on a 10th grade level. Let me
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: get your mind ready. Let me show you what classical
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: music is. Cut your hip hop off for a minute
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: and go to sleep listening to Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin. I'm
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: gonna get your mind ready. I'm going to get your
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: mind ready. Nothing wrong with hip hop, but I'm going
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: to get your mind ready so that anywhere God takes you,
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: you got the mindset of the future. Do you not
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: know that children, babies that listen to classical music do
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: better in school than children that don't? I'm going to
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: set the atmosphere for you to be a classy something.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: I'm going to set the atmosphere for you to have
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: a great blessing. Who am I talking to? Your children
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: are going to be bent over carrying what God is
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: putting in you right now. So much so that Pharaoh
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: is going to chase you, but he's going to get
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: drowned in the Red Sea. And the only time Miriam
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: put down the goal was to grab a tambourine and
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: to start dancing because God has so much more for her.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: than what you had ever expected. Tonight, God has so
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: much more for you than what you have expected. And
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: we've come to a time that we have to live
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: by faith and not by sight. As we come to
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: the close of this class, how many are glad you
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: came to this class? I want you to say something
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: with me. Abundance. Say it again. Say it again. I
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: want you to start thinking abundance. You might be living
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: in lack, but I want you to start thinking abundance.
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: I got more than enough. I got more than enough. Oh,
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: you ain't got nothing but a handful of me? I
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: got more than enough. You ain't got nothing but a
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: pot of oil. I got more than enough. You too late.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: You too old. You can't do it anymore. I got
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: more than enough. I'm not going to die until I
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: see them bring that baby in this church and we
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: anoint that baby. Anna, I'm going to be alive when
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: the baby come in the door. I got more than enough.
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: I'm letting that sink in. I know the ground is hard,
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: but I'm letting it sink in. Letting it sink in. Oh,
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: my gosh. Oh, they writing. Write down stuff. Write down

- 1:19:10Speaker 2: what you're going to do, how you're going to have peace,
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: how you're going to have rest. You know what this is?
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: This is consecration. This comes from hanging around God, the
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: let there be God, the God who created light without sun.
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: You couldn't even explain it, but it was there. How
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: is he going to enlighten you? You watching online? How
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: is he going to enlighten you? What do you need
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: him to enlighten in you? It might be a spiritual thing.
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: It might be a physical thing. It might be body, soul,
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: or spirit. Whatever area it is, he wants to enlighten it.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: If the light hit my wallet, all my bills gonna
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: be paid. If the light hit my body, all my
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: sickness gonna flee. If the light hit my cancer, my
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: tumor gonna shrink. If the light hit my depression, I'm
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: gonna be laughing in the car by myself. Do you
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: see what I'm saying? If the light hits my spirit,
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: I'm going to be happy whether I get married or not.

- 1:29:26Speaker 1: Listen, the Potter's house isn't just a place. It's a movement.
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: Family, we are so much better when we come together.
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: And today, we're inviting you to be a part of
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: something bigger. When you sow a seed, you're planting the
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: future of hope, healing, and change.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: In times of uncertainty, the house stands strong. And because
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: of you, it keeps standing for others. Your giving isn't
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: just generosity, it's ministry. And what you sow today will
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: be the miracle someone is praying for.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: If this message spoke to you, and if you're ready
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: to step into faith, if you believe in what God
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: is doing here, don't wait. Sow a seed. Move in faith.
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: Every gift, every act of generosity fuels this mission and
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: brings us closer to reaching the lives that need it
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: the most.
