The Corrupt Handlers · Mountain Mover's Prayer

0:02
Ah, good morning, Good morning. I just do want to put the
1:30
ale sharing out and then we will get stardy right. Good morning. Welcome
2:09
to Mount Movers. Amen, Amen, welcome this morning to Mount Movers.
2:17
I am apostle doctor JUW Williams, one of the lead passive Abundant Life Worship
2:22
center here in Chicago. We're located at seventy seven oh one South Exchange and
2:28
for this month of October we're having Women's Months. So it has been just
2:31
really a powerful month. If you are in the area of Chicago, join
2:37
us at nine thirty or you could join us online. So for this week
2:42
I've been talking about for this month, rather, I've been talking about,
2:46
you know what the Lord has been showing me in the secret place in my
2:51
time of prayer and time of worship with him. And so the way that
2:57
God does me sometimes is I will write down and this is not prescriptive,
3:04
so everybody doesn't have to do this, but sometimes I will just ask the
3:07
Lord a question and sometimes he'll give me a word. Sometimes he'll send me
3:10
the scripture, but he does different things to get my attention. And so
3:15
for this particular day, I asked the Lord a question and I said Lord,
3:22
I am listening and I heard the word handlers. Handlers. I heard
3:27
the word handlers. I had never heard of that before, and like the
3:32
Lord does me when he gives me a word, I have to go and
3:37
say, okay, show me what that is. So I asked him the
3:42
question. I was like, what or who is a handler? And so
3:47
I want to just take you for today. I want to take you to
3:51
what the Lord showed me. I pray that it blesses you, because I
3:54
know it gave me some wild moments as I was listening to and following what
4:02
the Lord was showing to me. And so when I asked him what or
4:06
who is a handler, one of the meanings is it's a person who trains
4:13
or has charge of an animal. And I instantly saw, like, for
4:17
instance, someone who is the keeper of the animals in a circus and that
4:24
person handling the animal and is for the purpose of exciting the crowd and making
4:30
money for the circus. I want you to hear what I'm saying. So
4:32
what was the handless purpose? The handless purpose is to keep that animal in
4:38
control, so that is to excite those that have come to see the animals
4:44
and the tricks of the animals is going to do and is to also make
4:46
money for that circus. But what the animal, on the other hand,
4:49
isn't free. The animal is unable to do what it wants to do,
4:55
which is to be free and to be this animal. Another meaning is it's
5:00
someone who advises another person that is important. For example, one of the
5:04
things is like the President's handler, maybe telling him or her to pull out
5:10
of talks. Right. So these are some of the meanings of a handler.
5:15
And so when I saw the answer for what I heard from the Lord
5:19
was then corrupt handlers. And so I said, okay, Lord, what
5:24
does that mean? So I'm gonna take you where he sent me to.
5:28
He took me to Psalm sixty two and ten. So let me read that
5:31
scripture as I continue to share today. So Psalm sixty two and ten in
5:38
the New Living Translation says, don't make your living by exhortation, pressure,
5:44
force, or shape down that's my definition. Or put your hope in stealing.
5:51
And if your wealth increases, don't make it the center of your life.
5:56
Okay, So what was in the entire scripture? Read the whole sixty
6:00
sixty second psalm in the entire script the focus on trusting God and understand that
6:05
we're able to stand because God is our rock and our salvation. The Lord
6:11
said that there are those who have or who want to handle, or handle
6:15
or manage others, but they do it for personal gain or advancement. They
6:21
do it to build themselves up. Like an animal in a circus, you
6:26
are put on display. Your gifts are used to excite the crowds and to
6:30
bring money and fame to the handle. If you remember the definition I just
6:34
gave you of a handler, is they want to advise someone important. What
6:39
the Lord said was, many of us don't realize how important our purpose is
6:42
to God. Yet the corrupt handler sees us better than we see ourselves,
6:47
so they are looking for gifts and talents to leach upon. What's a great
6:53
example of that. A great example is you know, the Lord reminded me,
6:57
I saw the Elvis Presley story. I went and I saw MJ.
7:00
The musical, and also Whitney Houston was another. Both of these were very
7:04
talented men, but those who were handling them and handling their affairs were more
7:11
concerned about the good for themselves and what they got out of So as a
7:15
result, they overlooked the drug use. The other things they overlooked, or
7:23
they were trying to pay for things to be covered up. And in fact
7:26
we don't know that maybe even some of the drug use was encouraged. Why
7:29
because it kept them both in a place of needing others. And so God
7:33
said, unfortunately, there are handlers in his church who used men and women
7:40
for their personal reasons. He said. They are corrupt handlers, God said,
7:46
And God says that he's going to expose them. Yet we are monaged
7:49
to be careful because everyone who comes to you and offers us help doesn't have
7:55
clean hands. We must move only as the spear gives us instruction to do.
8:00
So we got to discern the motives, right, and there aren't often
8:03
really the handlers aren't often concerned about your soul, but what they promise you
8:11
or what they promise you with things that will feed your desire. So that's
8:15
like a dangling of the carrier. So how do you detect these corrupt handlers?
8:20
Glad you asked, This is what the Holy Spirit showed me, he
8:24
said, So this is how we detect those corrupt handlers. One Corinthians fifteen
8:31
thirty three says do not deceive bad company ruins good morals. In this entire
8:37
chapter, Paul is reminding the people of got about holding firm to the teaching
8:41
about Christ. So in other words, he said, Christ that who our
8:43
sins, he was raided from the dead. This is the good news that
8:46
saves us. So in this verse is reminding people of God that we must
8:50
hold onto the truth we have been taught and not allow bad company to come
8:54
along and deceive us into believing and doing something different. So the very first
8:58
thing we have to do is look past what they are saying and examine what
9:03
they are doing. I'm talking about these handlers. So some of the questions
9:07
we got to ask ourselves is is everything about them? Is everything about them?
9:15
How much of their focus is about God? And how much is it
9:18
about themselves? So the way that you can tell somebody is not a good
9:22
person, that is really a corrupt handler and is all in it for themselves,
9:28
most of the conversation is going to be about them, what they can
9:31
do, what they have done, how great they are, how much of
9:35
the focus is about what God wants and what God is doing? What are
9:39
they promising you? Does it allow with what God has said? Are they
9:43
leading you to put yourself in the hand of God and allow him to process
9:48
you, or are they leading you a way to say you do what I
9:52
said? Do what do I mean by that? Many times the enemy of
9:56
your soul good morning. Many time the enemy of our soul is able to
10:00
discern and to see your hunger, your desire. And if they have the
10:05
it's like they almost consense it and smell it. And I'm gonna talk about
10:07
that in a minute. And if they can sense and smell that you want
10:11
something, they then will leach upon that and they will begin to promise you
10:18
things. Oh yeah, I can do that for you. Yeah, I
10:20
can get you to that next level. Yes I can do this, Yes
10:24
I can do that. You gotta be Larry. Why Because at any point
10:28
in the conversation, if they're not including God and what God can do,
10:33
this may in fact be a corrupt handler. Have you taken the association covenant
10:41
to God to see what he says? Have you let the handler's word convince
10:46
you to follow or make covenant with them without asking the Lord if this was
10:50
from him? See, many of us end up doing that. We go
10:54
on what we see and think and feel or can I tell you I think
10:58
and see and feel. Can sometime time be misled and we can be misled
11:03
into thinking and feeling and doing what's contrary to what God is saying. Let
11:07
me keep moving. Let me show you another scripture Proverbs three, five and
11:13
six SYS. Trusting the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean
11:16
on your own understanding and all your ways. Acknowledge Him, and he will
11:20
make straight your path. This rescripture reminds us to never forget the things taught
11:24
to us. Remember there's this thing going. It's all about remembering what you
11:28
know, what you learn, what you've been taught. Hold on to the
11:31
truth. The scripture remind us of never forget the things taught to us about
11:35
God. When we trust and what God tells us, we can find satisfaction
11:39
in our lives. The enemy of our soul tries to get us impatient with
11:43
God's pacing. That's part of how the handler comes in. He looking for
11:48
us. She's looking for people that are impatient with God's pacing. And one
11:54
of the tools of the enemies is handlers to get you to lean toward your
12:00
understanding or the understanding of others. The big thing here is are you asking
12:03
the Lord is this? Is this his wisdom or is this earthly wisdom?
12:09
One way a handler gets into your good graces is by a show of importance.
12:13
They make you feel the important. Look at all these followers I got,
12:16
Look at all of this everybody. I'm on the top of the world.
12:20
So they make a show of the outward stuff they have, and then
12:24
you can be drawn in. What I mean is is that they will talk
12:28
about themselves and all they can do and all they've accomplished, and then what
12:31
they can give you if you trust in them. Don't it sound for me?
12:37
Ain't that what Satan tried to do to Jesus? He tried to temp
12:39
him in the wilderness. Okay, you don't remember that. Okay, let
12:43
me let me let me read that for you, because I want you to.
12:45
I'm painting this picture and I need for us to follow. This is
12:48
not Jules Matthew four eight eight through nine says. Next, the devil took
12:54
him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms
12:56
of the world and their glory. I will give it all to you,
13:00
he said, if you will kneel down and worship me. See the truth
13:03
is, Satan couldn't give Jesus what he already was and what he already had.
13:09
But sometimes if we don't know who we are, we can find ourselves
13:13
believe in the lives of Satan that he weaves in that he will give us
13:18
something. Now we don't hear it this way because if to be honest,
13:22
if Satan walked up to you, if Satan just walked up to you and
13:24
say, hey, worship me and I give you this, and that,
13:26
we're gonna say, oh, no, thank you, I pass. But
13:30
the truth is he does do it. He just gets it done a different
13:33
way. He gets us to put other things before God, before our worship,
13:37
before our trust, before our faith in God's work. So guess what
13:41
Hence we have then unknowingly fallen prayed, so we can't trust in our own
13:46
sin understanding because you and I could be fool So I shared the scripture earlier
13:52
because the scripture I'm getting ready to read. I shared it earlier because and
13:54
I want to share it again here because I want to talk about how these
13:58
handlers were, how these handlers work. Now for those that kind of came
14:03
in lay, I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of recap it real quick, because
14:07
I want to catch you up the speed while you hear see the Lord talk
14:09
to me about corrupt handlers and use the example of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
14:16
I watched those movies and he was reminding us that there were people in
14:20
their lives that because they were important, they wanted to kind of ride on
14:24
their coketail, if you will. And they're people that can see the importance
14:28
of who you are and want to ride on your coketail, and they want
14:33
to handle you. But the handling of you is for themselves. It's not
14:37
for the best in you. And so we're talking about corrupt handlers, and
14:41
we're talking about how we can see and how they show up. So lem
14:45
me three Joshua nine three through thirteen. I read that at the beginning of
14:50
the month, but I want to read this again because I want to it's
14:54
important here. But when the people of Giving heard what Joshua had done to
14:58
Jericho and I there to deception, they resorted to deception to save themselves.
15:05
They send ambassadors to Joshua, loaded their donkeys with weathered saddle bags in old
15:09
patch wine scream They put on worn out patched sandals and raggedy clothes, and
15:15
they and the bread they took with them was dry and moldy. When they
15:18
arrived at the camp of Israel at Gilgal, they told Joshua and the men
15:22
of Israel, we have come from a distant land to ask you to make
15:24
a peace treaty with us. The Israelized replied to the Hibbits, how do
15:28
we know you aren't you don't live nearby, for if you do, we
15:33
cannot make a treaty with you. They replied, we are your service,
15:37
But who are you? Joshua demanded, where did you come from? They
15:41
answer, your servants have come from a very distant country. We've heard of
15:45
the might of the Lord Triguiden, of all he did in Egypt. We've
15:48
also heard what he did and to the two Amai kings east of the Jordan
15:50
River. So our elders and all the people instructed us take supplies for a
15:56
long journey. Go meet with the people of Israel and tell them we are
16:00
servant. Please make a treaty us. This bread was hot from the other
16:03
when we left our homes, but now, as you can see, it
16:06
is dry and moldy. These wine skins were new when we filled them,
16:08
but now they are old and split open and are clothing and sandals are all
16:12
worn out for a very long from a very long journey. So the Israelites
16:18
examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord. Then Joshua made
16:22
a peace treaty with them and guaranteed their safety, and the leaders of the
16:26
community ratified their agreement with a binding oath. Three days after making the treaty,
16:33
they learned that these people actually live nearby. Why was that scripture important?
16:38
What I was trying to tell you is God is saying, they're those
16:42
who see the importance of who you are. See these people knew. Oh
16:45
wait a minute, these are God's people. They even with the flattery.
16:49
Oh, we've seen what your God did in Egypt. We've seen what your
16:52
God did here. We've seen this to Neether. So we want to make
16:55
a treaty with you. But the thing is they did not consult the Lord.
17:00
God is reminding us that handlers realize your power and will result to deception
17:07
to get you into covenant with them. Did you hear what I just said?
17:11
Handlers realize your power. Sometimes we don't. Handlers realize your power.
17:18
And I don't say that in any sense of you all that great, but
17:21
they realize the power that is within you. So let's be let's be clear,
17:25
let's let's not get it twisted. I'm not powerful, you not powerful
17:30
of ourself. The power that's in us comes from God. And so they
17:33
realize that this, they realize that because of the power is in you.
17:40
There's a reason they see that and they want to be in covenant with you.
17:45
In this case, the handler want to handle you and they will result
17:48
to deception to get you into that place. But we got to see God
17:52
about all associations. Otherwise we can be deceived by our understanding because we did
18:00
and see the truth and we didn't ask see It's said they examined, but
18:03
they was examining the wrong thing. Sometimes we can think we've examined what you
18:07
because you've heard it. You probably said it yourself. Well, I thought
18:10
they was a good person. I looked at this, I looked at that.
18:12
But the Lord is saying, sometimes we're examining the wrong thing. So
18:17
we got a shift on going on just what we see, and we got
18:19
to say, Lord, what are you telling us about? What should I
18:22
be looking at what should I actually be examining. I'm looking at out with
18:26
stuff. But Lord, show me they heart, show me the things that
18:30
will help me to make sure that I am not putting myself in the hands
18:34
of a handler, a corrupt handler. At that first, John four and
18:41
one says, beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit
18:47
to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out
18:51
into the world. The New Living Translations say, dear friend, do not
18:53
believe everyone who claims to speak by the spirit. You must test them to
18:57
see the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets
19:02
in the world. So you gotta stop. You and I got to ask
19:04
ourselves some questions. We got to say, are they true? Are they
19:07
false? Are they true? Are they false? What question we got to
19:10
ask? Are they true? Are they false? We are in a time
19:14
where many folks are calling themselves you give them a title, apostle, prophet,
19:18
pastor whatever title doctor. They calling themselves a lot of titles. And
19:22
do you know why they're giving themselves these titles, Because they're trying to validate
19:26
what it is they're trying to present to you. Now, let me also
19:30
say this. I'm not saying everybody on Facebook or everybody on social media it's
19:33
not true, but it's a lot of them that are not. And so
19:38
we have to ask the Lord are they true or false? Because just because
19:44
they have a title doesn't mean they are a relationship with God. For some
19:48
those who even started off right. Unfortunately, some that started off right have
19:52
moved away from walking in the gifts of God to using them for personal gain.
19:57
Many and I won't say many, but some had forgotten that the power
20:02
that's working in them is not their power to use. And so some have
20:06
turned this into financial gain, into a big business on how to be able
20:11
to make money and to live off of it. Yeah, I'm gonna just
20:18
say that much. So some have moved into that kind of realm. And
20:21
because of that, they've moved away from this being God's motivated types of things,
20:26
and they moved from purpose. And this is what the Lord called it.
20:30
He said, they've moved from purpose to performance. They've moved from purpose
20:36
to performance. We gotta be careful. We don't want to move from purpose
20:40
to performance. We don't want what we do to be so much about what
20:42
we get, because then it stops being about purpose, and it starts being
20:45
about performance. It starts being about me. What am I gonna get out
20:49
of this? You know, I gotta go because I've heard people and I
20:52
heard these years ago. I heard somebody say I'm not getting on the stage,
20:56
and that's what it was for them. It wasn't a platform, it
21:00
was the stage. They wasn't getting on the stage until the auditorium was feeled.
21:04
When the auditorium was feeled, then called them down from where they was
21:08
and then they would come on down and preach. And it was just interesting
21:11
me because I was part of the backstage help at the time. And so
21:15
they called this individual. They called this particular person down several times and she
21:19
refused to come. She said, I'm not coming until I'm ready to come,
21:23
and so finally it was like, okay, it's ready, service is
21:27
ready. So then the person came and you know, presentation wise, oh,
21:33
she sounded like she and God was just the best of friends. But
21:36
she refused to come for worship. She refused to do any of that.
21:40
She was like, I'm just coming and I'm gonna speak, but I need
21:41
to make sure that the audience was full. That's not purpose. That's performance.
21:47
And so in doing so, God says he no longer calls these people
21:49
his servants. And then there are those who never were His servants, but
21:53
accepted the titles for the purpose of handling those who are important to God's kingdom.
21:59
And we are not careful, we will believe the wrong spirit. We
22:03
will believe what the handlers are telling us, and that's not what God is
22:07
saying. But then God said, this is the part. Now, everybody,
22:11
just take a debreak breath. He said, why did you believe?
22:15
Why do people believe the handlers? He said, it is the part where
22:18
some folks gonna have to repent. He said, some of us believe in
22:21
these false spirits because they are offering us what we want at the time we
22:26
wanted, at the pacing that we wanted. They promise us this easy path
22:30
to importance, this easy path to reblance relevant excuse me, this easy path
22:37
to power again. This the same livee satan you have to use on Jesus,
22:41
Jesus in the wilderness. But Jesus response was always going back to the
22:45
word. That's why, if you notice I started this what the writers of
22:51
scripture kept trying to remember what you've been taught, remember the truth, Stand
22:55
on the truth. Make that your foundation, because if we don't, if
22:57
we are shaky about foundation, the enemy knows it and he gonna come and
23:02
take advantage of it. Because if we find ourselves being handled by a corrupt
23:07
handler, we need to repent because there may have been something in us that
23:11
caused us just to believe them instead of seeking God about whether they were from
23:15
him or not. That one was an ouch ouch, somebody just say ouch,
23:22
that was an ouch. That was an ouch, that was an ouch
23:26
Proverbs three and step. But now let me say this before I keep going,
23:29
Why is this important? Some of y'all might say, well, this
23:32
ain't really a message for me, because you know, I'm not letting nobody
23:34
handle me. I'm gonna tell you why. There's an urgency I sense in
23:37
the spirit because there are many people and the Lord told me this, like
23:41
back at twenty fifteen, he said he's gonna start exposing some stuff. He
23:45
gonna start exposing people that you've trusted, and you know, big names and
23:51
this, and they got this and they got that. And I'm not saying
23:52
all of them didn't start. I write, but somewhere along the line,
23:56
it moved from being about promise and purpose to be in about programming and performance
24:04
and platforms and power for them versus God. And somewhere along the line,
24:11
if we're not careful, we can become enamored. Oh look at that person
24:15
they're here. Look at that person there. Let me attach to them,
24:18
because they're gonna pull me up. And God is saying, you better be
24:21
satisfied with my process. You better learn how to be satisfied with my pacing,
24:26
because I'm not gonna move you out of the realm of what I got
24:30
for you, but I will bring you in at the timing that I set.
24:34
There's a reason for the timing that I set. All right, let
24:38
me keep going with proverbse three and seven said, be not wise in your
24:41
own eyes, fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. New Living
24:45
Translations said, don't be impressed with your own wisdom. I just love that.
24:49
Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. In other words, God said,
24:52
it's time for us to deal with some pride issues in our lives.
24:56
See this scripture. We are reminded not to forget the things we been taught.
25:00
I've been saying that again and again and again, we're told to start
25:03
the commandments of God in our hearts. The reason is so that we can
25:07
we so that we can so when when handlers come, we have the word
25:11
active in our lives to give us the warning that something isn't right. There
25:15
should be a warning to go office, like some checking my spirit. Some
25:21
is wrong about this, but many of us we just go past. We
25:23
blow past that. Why because we're getting what we want. And the Lord
25:30
says, sometimes we in these places with these hands because we think we are
25:33
capable or more capable than we are. Again pride. It's another ouch moment.
25:40
He says, Sometimes we find ourselves we'll corrupt handles because we are trusting
25:42
our own ideas, with our own plans, our own thoughts, were trusting
25:48
in our talents and our gifts. And we believe in this false narrative that
25:52
you know, everybody trying to hold me down. They won't let me be
25:56
who, they won't let me be great. Maybe that ain't in. Maybe
25:59
some people are not pushing you up because there's some things that still need to
26:03
be healed in you. There's some things that you still need to learn,
26:06
You still need to be ready to move forward into your next, everything is
26:08
not about somebody trying to keep you down. And so, for example,
26:11
we don't think we should have to wait for something. So we allow the
26:15
enemy to begin to trick us into getting out of God's process, and we
26:18
then create our own. So what happens here comes the corrupt handlers. They
26:23
come out. The visual God gave me was this. If you see a
26:27
straight animal in the wilderness, you see an animal that has gotten away from
26:33
its tribe. What it's heard, you know. Think of a deer that
26:36
has wandered off and is moved away from the herd. The stronger animals,
26:41
the lions, the other animals see this long animal and guess what they are
26:45
coming for it. The problem is because the animals alone, it is much
26:49
more susceptible to being eden. So when we get out of God's planned purpose
26:55
and process for us, we're like that animal. We are out there on
26:57
our own. Why because we are moved outside of the herd of the help
27:02
of what the spirit is trying to do to us. And guess what the
27:06
corrupt handles. Smell you like fresh meat. That's what the Holy Spirit said.
27:10
He smells you like fresh meat, and he's coming. They're coming at
27:12
you, so hear me. This doesn't mean you don't go somewhere and don't
27:17
be in community. It's just the opposite. God wants us to be in
27:19
healthy communities. Because had that lone animal, for example, been in a
27:25
herd. The animals, they are animals actually within herds that are set to
27:29
guard and watch, and there may have been an animal that could single the
27:33
danger is approaching and as a community of animals, they could have moved.
27:38
And so when a godly community, that helps us to grow and to be
27:41
held accountable. Because I know the Lord said for many, especially when COVID
27:48
hit, many deserted or went away or left their church. Stuff happened,
27:52
But I feel the Lord said on it's time for you to do things different.
27:55
And I'm gonna get to that in a minute. Proverbse twenty seven to
27:57
seventeen says iron sharpening, and one man sharpens another. And this proverb lists
28:03
several wisdom nuggets. One is one of them is one is one's wound from
28:11
a sensive friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. It says,
28:15
wounds from a sensive friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. What
28:21
does that really mean? Because if you're in a sincere friendship, even what
28:26
may wound you or even offend you sometimes can actually be good for you.
28:32
It can actually be something that will help you. Yet because it's a sincere
28:37
friend so you know, whatever happens is not done maliciously or to hurt you.
28:41
Yet it says an enemy or on handler may be giving you kisses because
28:45
they an agreement. Oh, they ain't gonna check you on what you're doing
28:48
wrong. In fact, they're gonna do give you all these kisses. Why
28:52
because they got something they trying to get out of it, because now they
28:53
actually are your enemy. That scripture right there was kind of deep. Another
28:59
verse is notine, it says where it says the heartfelt counsel of a friend
29:03
is as sweet as perfume and incense. So we are told about the importance
29:07
of right relationships. And so then my question to you is who then is
29:15
your accountability partner. And I'm not talking about a yes friend, no false
29:19
friends, no judas kiss friend. I'm talking about but someone who tell you
29:23
the truth. You and I need friendships accountability. That's gonna tell you,
29:27
sister, brother, your steak gonna take a bath. You don't want someone
29:33
who's gonna be too afraid to tell you your life staks and you need a
29:37
refresher because they don't want to hurt your feelings. You need someone who is
29:41
gonna hold you accountable to the truth. Iron sharpens iron. Do you know
29:45
how that happens? What I'm gonna tell you, I have a steal.
29:48
That's what it's called. It's a it's a it's a it's a it looks
29:52
almost like a sword, but it's called a seal. It's used to sharpen
29:56
knives. Now I've had my knives for about forty years, right, that's
30:02
a long time to have some knives. But because I have this steal my
30:06
knee, my knives have stayed sharp. So what happens is knives. You
30:10
can't see it, but if you looked under it like a microscope, they
30:12
almost look like they have little teeth, and over time, because of wear
30:15
and tearing use, those teeth begin to bend down. So when you take
30:19
the iron, you take it and you take the knife like at a forty
30:23
five degree angle, and you take it back and forth across the iron,
30:29
so that the teeth so can stand up. And once you do that,
30:32
it's no longer dult. So well, we need to be able to rub
30:36
up against some accountability partners life and how and help and help them help us
30:41
to straighten out our lives. You and I need some people that we can
30:44
when we bump into and when our lives interact with theirs, they help straighten
30:49
us out and guess what we do the same thing, so that you're ready
30:52
to do what cut through the noise of life. So we need some people
30:56
that are gonna be able to tell us this is the truth. I'm just
31:00
trying to tell you what you want to hear. I'm telling you what you
31:02
need to know. I'm telling you what God says you need to hear.
31:06
First, that's salone as five of LEVERTERSA therefore, encourage one another, build
31:08
one another up, just as you are doing. The entire scriptures. Is
31:12
current the believer that Jesus is gonna return. He says, you aren't in
31:15
the dark about these things because you are the children of life. So we're
31:18
told to be on guard and to stay alert and clear headed. We're told
31:22
to encourage one of them to continue to trust in what we know is true
31:26
that Jesus saved. So who is your encouraging. It can be the same
31:30
person that's your accountability partner. But even if it's not, you and I
31:34
need someone that also encourages us. They remind us who we are, what
31:38
we have been called to do. And as they build you up, you
31:42
build them up. So it's not a one sided relationship. If you find
31:47
yourself being the only one encouraging or the only one holding others accountable, that's
31:51
not a partnership. That's either an assignment or that person is a leech,
31:55
and you need to ask God what it is, because if it's a leach,
31:56
you need to let it go. But if it's an assignment, yes,
32:00
assignment, more than likely you're doing more poor in than receiving. But
32:02
we got to know these things. You gotta know these things. So this
32:07
is God's message to us regarding handlers. He said he will uncover those who
32:12
seek to leach'll for you for your purpose. But he also said I will
32:15
give you those who will watch over you with accountability and love. And so
32:19
we don't want to reject that God does sin the right people, because sometimes
32:22
we can be so burned we're like, I am not doing this no more.
32:25
Jeremiah three point fifteen says I will give you shepherds after my own heart
32:30
who will guide you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah was encouraging the people to
32:35
come back home, because if you read the whole entire scripture, the people
32:37
were scattered. Verse fourteen, in fact, says, return home you wagar
32:42
children. The promise is God was bringing them back into the process and give
32:47
them good shepherds who would have his heart. So what I heard the Lord
32:52
saying in my press, he says, try it again. Some of you
32:54
reject covering or a shepherd because of the corrupt handlers you have encountered. However,
33:00
God says, try again this time. Ask him even this verse.
33:06
Use it as your prayer. Lord, send me the right church, send
33:08
me the right leader, send me the right mentor send me the right person
33:13
who has your heart and will have your heart for me, This person that
33:15
will help guide me, and that will help me not for their gain,
33:20
but will help guide me so that I am, oh wonderful right jeremih three.
33:28
And so it's like God, help me so that I can make sure
33:31
that I'm aligning myself with the right person, that I'm moving in the way
33:37
that you would have me to do, help me to see who is that
33:42
that leader, that mentor that person or persons that have my destiny in their
33:47
hand. And it's not going to be just about them. It's they're not
33:52
going to be corrupt handlers. They're not gonna they're not looking at gain or
33:55
financial gain for me. They're not looking at me as a money make It
34:00
ain't seeing che change, che change every time they see me. They're not
34:02
They're not trying to do me like that the circus animal. They're not trying
34:07
to parade me to excite the people and to make money for themselves. When
34:13
I was fourteen twelve, say yes, each of us will give a personal
34:15
account to God in this particular chapter, the people will condemn me one another.
34:21
They were looking down on one of the other words. The message was,
34:23
uh, you know, none of us are God. God is the
34:27
one who will that all are gonna have to bow tell. Every tongue is
34:30
gonna confess. We're all gonna be held accountable to God. And so we
34:36
got to decide instead of to live in such a way that we will not
34:38
cause other believers to stumble and fault. So we got to look at and
34:42
say, Lord, I have to make sure that not only am I not
34:45
I'm not putting my hands in the place of a of a corrupt handler,
34:50
but I need to make sure I'm not misusing people either. I gotta make
34:52
sure that I'm not just looking at this person. But what can they do
34:54
for me? How can I how can I use your talents and skills?
34:59
What am I do? Give me? Give me your gifts for free.
35:02
But but I'm gonna get your gifts for free, and I'm gonna sell them
35:06
for myself. And so God is saying no, no, no, So
35:09
what's the point with that? One of the tricks of a corp padentist to
35:13
try and get you to see your pastor or another leader as less than That's
35:17
what the Lord was saying about this particular scroup. He said, they don't
35:21
have the right They'll try to tell you they don't have the right stuff to
35:23
help you to get to your next level, next level. They'll do things
35:28
like that church you in. They ain't nobody like you. You you the
35:31
only one there with your talents and your skills. You need to leave them
35:36
because they not gonna do this. They'll give you false prophecies around The Lord
35:39
told you to leave and come here or go there, and you better take
35:45
that stuff back to the Lord and say, Lord, what did you say?
35:46
If the Lord didn't tell you that, you just say thank you and
35:50
you keep it moving. Because because the Lord said they that is one of
35:53
the other tricks of the enemy. He will try to get folks to draw
35:58
you away from places that God has actually put you there. God has actually
36:01
positioned you there. He's growing you there, and he'll use the fact that
36:06
what they're trying to draw you to looks like it's more prosperous. It may
36:09
look bigger, the people may look happier, or they just I mean,
36:14
the two second clips that you get of their services or the two second clips
36:17
that you get of their events look like all the power of God was strong
36:22
in the place, but you were being deceived. It's just like that scripture
36:25
I showed you earlier. And again, I'm not saying that all of these
36:29
people that when you see something, I'm not saying I'm not painting a picture
36:31
about everybody. But I'm telling you God said there are corrupt handlers out there.
36:37
Thank the Lord. The Lord said there are corrupt handlers out there.
36:43
He said they're out there he said, But I need you to be mindful
36:46
because I'm gonna tell you I'm always Leary's when folks are ready to quickly down
36:52
another person, Why because I feel like this? Why is it important for
36:58
you to build yourself up talking down about somebody else? So when you when
37:04
you kind of sense that there's some trigger, should go off, like there's
37:07
some onterior motives behind that. And the thing is, if they can put
37:12
doubt in your heart and mind about wise counselor God has given you the handlers
37:16
can get you away from your tribe or family, or where God sent you
37:22
to be processed, or where God sent you for purposing you. Hear what
37:27
I'm saying to y'all, I hope this is blessing somebody. See. This
37:30
might not be a ooh, y'all, this good shout, but I'm telling
37:34
you God said I need some It was like when I heard this message,
37:37
God said, I need somebody to give my children some some you know,
37:43
some grain if you will, some beings, some some some vegetables, some
37:49
rouffage if you will. Because this ain't a fluffy message. I ain't a
37:53
fluffy maority. No, I'm not a fluffy message kind of girl, no
37:55
way. But the Lord said there's an urgency. I'm gonna say it again.
38:00
He said, there's an urgency. Corrupt handlers are looking at you.
38:04
There are people that are following you. They see your talents, they see
38:07
your skills. And it ain't just about the church. It can be even
38:09
about your business. They see you growing, and what do they want to
38:13
do? They want to come in. Oh, I feel led to come
38:15
help you. You better ask the Lord is this my help? If the
38:19
Lord say no, you say thank you so much. No, I got
38:22
this. No, I got this, I got this. No, No,
38:25
you will not get in here and try to steal my patterns or steal
38:30
steal my fore of you. I hear that for you, Bethany, you
38:31
ain't gonna get in here and steal my You're not gonna get in here and
38:35
steal what I build and try to then use it for yourself. God is
38:38
saying no. The corrupt handlers are out there. They're ready to see how
38:45
they can use you for their own personal gain. Who let me keep going,
38:52
Let me keep going, Let me keep going, Let me keep going.
38:55
Matthew twelve twenty thirty six and thirty seven said, and I tell you
39:00
this. You must give an account on judgment Day for every idle word you
39:04
speak. The words you say will either quit you or condemn you. This
39:07
scripture verse before saying the verses before that, Hello, everybody that's coming in.
39:14
Before that said this is a tree. It says a tree is identified
39:17
by its fruit. What kind of fruit is coming from the lives of those
39:22
that you associate with? We are often told, don't judge, you know,
39:28
we tell that, Oh, don't judge, don't judge. Can I
39:30
can I help y'all? Can I give y'all some freedom today? No,
39:32
I'm not gonna tell you not to judge. What I'm gonna tell you is,
39:35
do not judge unrighteously. There's a difference. What do I mean,
39:38
do not judge unrighteously? Because the scripture just said you can identify a tree
39:45
by its fruit, we do need to inspect the fruit. Be a fruit
39:49
inspector. If you like that, one better be a fruit inspector. What
39:52
is coming from the tree? And if it's not God, that's not being
39:59
You're not being judged mental, You're making righteous judgment. You're saying, no,
40:04
this is not from God, I will not associate with it. I'm
40:07
not gonna be a part of it. I'm not gonna be a part of
40:09
your sin, and I'm gonna let you come in and let your sin make
40:14
what I'm doing unholy, because, to be honest, let me tell you
40:16
something, some of us don't realize. You may not be the one doing
40:21
sin, but some remember when you come into covenant that scripture I read earlier
40:24
about Josh, they came into an unbreakable oath. Sometimes you come into these
40:29
covenant with people because you've come into agreement with them, and so now you
40:34
are also in agreement with what they doing. Whether you know it or not,
40:37
you are now in agreement with it. No, thank you, sir,
40:42
No thank you, ma'am. We're not doing that. We're not coming
40:45
into agreement with nothing that's gonna be contrary to my destiny. And that's why
40:51
God said, if you don't really understand who you are the importance of what
40:53
you doing, you can fall pray. Matthew eighteen and six says, but
41:00
if you cause one of these little ones who trusted me to fall into sin,
41:05
it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your
41:08
neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Now we know this
41:12
scripture was Jesus was talking about accepting of children and not forbidding them to come
41:15
to him. But can I take a little liberty here? We are all
41:19
the children of God right as his children of God. He requires those he
41:22
put in positions to lead us to do so with his heart. He already
41:25
said that. We saw that in Jeremiah. He said, I'm gonna give
41:28
you pastor shepherds that are gonna lead after my own heart. Therefore we find
41:32
or you find yourself in the grasp and I will say, the grasp in
41:37
the choke hold of a corrupt handler. And they don't got to be a
41:40
pastor, So get this correct. A corrupt handler could be anybody perpetrating that
41:45
they got your best interest at heart. So you can find yourself in the
41:47
grasp of a corrupt handler, and that individual leads you away from God into
41:52
sin. God is holding them accountable for that. Yeah, You're gonna be
41:55
held accountable because you allowed it. But God is also saying, I am
42:00
holding accountable those that have led my people astray. At the end of the
42:06
day, we all are held accountable, even the corrupt handlers. Can I
42:09
tell you something. So people think they getting away with something. Ain't nobody
42:14
getting away with nothing. We serve a just God. And everything you do
42:19
he is seeing again talking about what happened to the correct handle. But then
42:23
I'm also talking about on our say you and I gotta make sure Lord,
42:27
is my actions and things that I'm doing, what I'm thinking, what I'm
42:30
planning, is it aligning up with you? All right? All right,
42:37
let me keep going because I got I got a few things I want to
42:39
say, so we are held accountable. Acts twenty and twenty eight says guard
42:43
yourself and God's people, feed and shepherd God's flock, his church purchased with
42:47
his own blood, over which the Holy Spirit is a pointing you as leaders
42:52
and king j versus overseers. God is saying to us that wherever you find
42:57
yourself, if you are in a position, whether you are over whether you're
43:00
a pastor or not, that says over his church. But whatever you find
43:05
yourself in the position where God has called you to lead people, it is
43:08
then our responsibility to make sure that if we see that corrupt handler activity going
43:16
on, we need to say, hey, let me warn you, be
43:20
careful of your affiliation with this one or that one. Did you ask the
43:23
Lord about this one or that one? Because see, if you just say,
43:27
well, you know, they just gonna do what they gonna do.
43:29
No, no, no, you have a responsibility. I have a responsibility
43:32
as a brother and sister in Christ. You have a responsibility. If you
43:36
see your friend going in the direction, you have a responsibility to say,
43:38
hey, wait a minute, you know what, I think you might want
43:43
to ask the Lord about that relationship. Now they may reject it. That
43:45
ain't got nothing to do with whether you were supposed to say it in the
43:47
first place or not. Ma'am, I almost do it, Almost done,
43:52
Hebrews thirteen sixteen through seventeen says, and don't forget to do good and to
43:58
share with those in the These are the sacrifices that please God. Part of
44:01
what God is saying for you and I in this season and in this time
44:05
is we need to be willing to speak up and tell the truth. I
44:09
believe again the urgency that God is given is that you and I need to
44:16
make sure that we are speaking the truth at all times. I'm going to
44:22
share, you know, from what I see. I want to share from
44:24
the goodness of God. That's part of the reason why I'm even here now.
44:29
Because there are crooked and corrupt handlers. There are those that see you
44:35
and your life and your life purpose about how it benefits them. And if
44:38
you don't ask the Lord, is this from him? You can find yourself
44:43
in a place and in a position where you are being taken advantage of that
44:46
your gifts are being misused. And when that happens, you can find yourself
44:52
in battles and in warfare. Why because you are out of God's plan for
44:58
your life? Can I tell you some of the warfare we find ain't just
45:01
because the devil coming at us. Sometimes it's because we've got out of the
45:05
pocket. Just like that that walk that that animal I use the example when
45:09
it gets out of the tribe, when it moves out on its own,
45:13
sometimes what happens is it becomes a prey to other animals. We become a
45:16
prey in the spirit when we are out of alignment with what God has called
45:22
for us to be. So we want to make sure that we are in
45:25
alignment. That's right, because there are those that want to prostitute your gifts.
45:29
They want to prostitute the anointing on your life. They want to promise
45:31
you or I can make you, you know, the next best singer.
45:35
I can make you, you know, the next best apostle. I can
45:37
make your business this, I can make this, I can do this.
45:40
I can, I can, I can, I can. It's all these
45:43
promises and can I can? I just say something right here? Why are
45:46
you listening to people's promises when God already gave you a promise? Let me
45:52
just pause right that, say, lot, God already gave you a promise.
45:57
If God already told you he was gonna do something for your life,
46:00
you can that's solid. That's solid again, God says, what happens is
46:07
we start looking for people because there's a part of us that don't like the
46:12
process. We take it too long. But can I tell you something else?
46:15
And then I'm gonna go into prayer. If you have a prayer,
46:16
need please put in a comment? Can I tell you something? The reason
46:20
why God processes you is because the moment he gives you the promise, it's
46:27
not necessary that you're ready to fulfill it. There's some stuff in you that
46:31
he gotta fix so that when He brings the manifestation of the promise you ready
46:37
to carry it. The example he always gives me is I could have like
46:42
a thirty forty thousand dollars car that I have for a child. Right kid
46:46
can't barely walk. I'm not gonna give the keys to the car of the
46:51
car, the car keys to the child, because the child don't know what
46:53
to do with it. So what am I gonna do. I'm gonna hold
46:55
those keys until the child grows up, goes through the process of learning how
47:01
to drive, getting their driver's license. Show me they can drive. Then
47:06
I can give them the keys because now they have grown up into being able
47:09
to handle the gift that I had for them. I know that's a simple
47:13
explanation, but it's the same thing. God has gifts for us. He's
47:16
got promises for us, but some of us haven't grown up enough. God
47:20
has got to get us in position, and he does that through the processes.
47:23
He does that through the procedures that he does in our lives so that
47:28
we're ready. And when we get impatient and were looking for other folks,
47:32
and when we get impatient, the enemy of our soul sees our impatience and
47:37
he activates those spirits in people to come along, and these ungodly handlers come
47:44
along, and they got promises. And guess what, how do they have
47:47
the promises of the same thing God already told you because the devil is nosy,
47:52
he's got spies, he's listening. And so it's not the people.
47:55
Can I tell you something. It's not the people. They are as pawns
48:00
in the hands of the enemy that he's using for the purpose of manipulating you
48:06
out of promises and out of purpose. Who I hope that blessed somebody.
48:10
So I'm gonna pray, and as I pray, if you have any prayer
48:15
need, please put it in the comment again again again, I'm gonna say
48:19
this. I'm gonna say this. God is saying, be careful of associations
48:23
you go into in this season. Be careful. Don't go based on just
48:28
what it looked like. Don't go back just don't that it seemed a certain
48:31
way, they looked good, they sounded good. You better do a test
48:36
on it. And how do you test it? You take it to the
48:38
Lord. Because again that scripture I gave you, when Joshua he examined the
48:43
wrong they are examined the wrong things, and they made a covenant that now
48:47
had to be that they couldn't break. We don't want to be in somewhere
48:51
now. We got strongholds in our life. It's difficult to break because we
48:53
done made covenant with the wrong thing. Lord, God, I come right
48:58
now in the name of Jesus, and I say thank you. Exodus fifteen
49:01
and three says to us, the Lord is a warrior. Yahweh is his
49:06
name. Father. I thank you that you are fighting for us, and
49:09
that fight comes about in several ways. I thank you that you are fighting
49:14
for our freedom. You are fighting for us so that we are able to
49:17
overcome whatever battles we find ourselves in, whether the battles are in the mind,
49:23
whether the battle is in our finances, wherever the battles are, God,
49:28
we thank you that we're not fighting in our own power and our own
49:31
might. Father, We're fighting yours. And so God, we say thank
49:35
you right now. And so Lord, even that whole Exodus fifteen is a
49:38
song of deliverance. As the Moses and the people they sang this song.
49:43
And so Father, I'm gonna pray even through this, It says, I
49:45
will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed Gloriously, God, just
49:51
as you triumphed over Egypt and all those that were chasing your children, you
49:54
trive over everything that comes against us. We have victory by way of Jesus
49:59
Christ and the blood of the Lamb. So today, Father, I thank
50:02
you for the triumph over SEZs for Tamika. Right now with the name of
50:07
Jesus, Father, I thank you that even in her body, Lord,
50:09
that you are regulating, and we just come and pray a prayer of healing
50:14
over her, that you heal her in those places in her body. The
50:17
Lord God align the regulation of what even triggers these things. And so Father,
50:22
we thank you because we know you to be a mighty God. We
50:27
know you and I love it says you triumphed gloriously. I thank you for
50:30
the glorious triumphant of victories that you're going to release for Tamika and the things
50:36
that she's standing in. And so, Father God, we know in ourselves
50:39
we cannot do it, but we believe by faith as your children. You
50:44
said if we come and ask and pray a prayer for the sick, that
50:47
you would raise them up. And so Father, I pray over her right
50:51
now in the name of Jesus. I pray over any of those who are
50:54
facing different difficulties in their body, whether it's their blood pressure, whether it's
51:00
things with their their their joints and muscles, Father, with their eyes,
51:06
with their ears, any infirmity. Father, we bring it to you right
51:08
now in the name of Jesus, and we say thank you for the victorious
51:13
triumph in healing that you are doing in the lives of your people. Father.
51:17
Even the scripture says you hurl God, it says God has hurled,
51:22
it said he. But God has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.
51:25
Father, I thank you. Every wicked thing of the devil has been
51:29
cast away from us. The attacker and what was bringing it both are defeated.
51:34
I love that it was the horse and the rider. So God is
51:37
like and what I see in that is God is like, I'm handling all
51:40
the things that came against you. The rider that's the person, but the
51:45
horse was how it got there. So even as the enemy of our soul,
51:49
he's the one that's the that's bringing it. But he got different vessels
51:52
that he just used to get it there. So even the people that he
51:55
used, Father, we don't pray for their demids. But Father, we
51:59
pray that you would break off the influence of the rider. We pray off
52:04
the influence of the demonic. We pray that you break off the influence of
52:07
the enemy that is bringing them to the place of being ungodly and demonic,
52:13
ungodly handlers. God, So we thank you now, Lord, that you
52:17
are hurling you said, both the horse and and the rider. Father,
52:22
So every evil that the devil has done is been cast into the sea.
52:27
God, we thank you. The attacker he's bringing is been defeated. You
52:30
say that, no, the weapons may form, but they shall not prosper.
52:35
And we thank you today God that even when things have tried to form,
52:38
that even some of the formation has not even been able to happen.
52:43
So God, I thank you that you even stopped some of the formation of
52:45
the attacks. So, Father, God, you are doing things that we
52:49
don't even understand. So God, we thank you right now for all that
52:52
you're doing for us. We thank you, Lord, God that you're gonna
52:55
touch areas that we didn't even know need touching. God, we thank you
53:00
right now. We come out of agreement with things that even if we've come
53:04
into agreement with wrong handlers. We break that. Now we repent of it.
53:07
Father, we say, forgive us for trusting in wrong handlers, for
53:12
trusting in lies, trusting in deception, trusting in things that led us away
53:16
from you. For God, today, in our repentance, we come back
53:21
to you and say, Father, help us to realign ourselves. Reignite something
53:25
on the inside of us so that we're aligned to what your purpose is.
53:29
And Father, remind us again, take us back to the place of remembering
53:34
what we have already known, Bring us back to the place of understanding who
53:38
we are. Take us back to the place where we are walking in the
53:42
promises that you have for us. And so God, we thank you right
53:45
now in the name of Jesus editor ourself. Father, I pray for Jay
53:51
right now. Lord, we thank you for providing provisions for her. We
53:54
thank you, Lord God, for financial provisions. Lord God, and we
53:59
thank you for even just the gifts that she have over her. Father,
54:04
that you continue to allow her to paint as you tell her to paint,
54:07
that she uses her gifts to glorify you, and in the process, Father,
54:12
we thank you that you are providing her what she needs. Lord God,
54:15
our Father, we thank you because You are her. You are who
54:20
sustains her. It's not her sustaining herself. So Father, we thank you
54:23
for all her needs being met in Christ Jesus, Father God, we thank
54:29
you because you tell us, if we seek the kingdom first, everything else
54:31
is coming. So Father, as she continue to seeks kingdom, then everything
54:36
else is coming. And so Father, we thank you for doors that you're
54:38
opening for Jay. We thank you, Lord God for direction. And Lord
54:42
God, we thank you even now same thing that Father, anybody that would
54:45
try to take advantage of, or misuse or see her as an avenue for
54:50
themselves, we break that right now in the name of Jesus. We decree
54:53
and declare Father, that she will do and align herself to what it is
54:58
that is up beneficial to you, a glorifying you. And so God,
55:04
we just thank you right now in the name of Jesus for you doing above
55:07
and beyond what she asks in or think. So God, we just thank
55:10
you for being that provider. Father. I bring Teresa to you, pastor
55:15
Teresa to you right now in the name of Jesus. Father, I thank
55:17
you for this woman of God and of ourself. I thank you for this
55:22
woman of God. I thank you right now, Lord God, for all
55:24
the things and the time and the effort that she is placed in trusting in
55:29
you, and as she continues to trust in you, as she continues to
55:32
move and do what You've called for her to do. Father, I thank
55:36
you for the doors that are opening for her, and I thank you right
55:38
now for every door you are closing that's not in her best favor. I
55:44
thank you right now in the name of Jesus, that there's a greater discernment
55:47
coming, that she will be able to see those from afar off that ain't
55:51
the right kind of spirit, that they're not coming with the right kind of
55:53
motive. They're coming with what can you do for me? And she's like,
55:58
no, I'm only doing for the Lord Lord. So God, I
56:00
thank you for even in that, even in relationships, God, that that
56:05
there will be none that It's like, I see people trying to jump on
56:07
your coattail. But I remember when the Lord showed me that, he said,
56:10
reach behind you, grab the train of your garment, sling it around
56:15
you, and then begin to run because too reasons there's those that were trying
56:20
to jump on your coattail, and they ragging in like you afloat. They
56:23
just they waving at the people and you trying to figure out why is it
56:27
feeling so heavy because you carry and wait, that ain't show us. So
56:30
Father, right that, with the name of Jesus, we break off all
56:32
of those that are trying to get a free ride, that's trying to piggyback
56:36
off of your daughter in the spirit. Father, I thank you because you
56:39
have a caring spirit. But Father, we think you're gonna show her whose
56:43
assignment, who's the partnership, and who is not of you. So Lord
56:47
God, we just break off every leach now in the name of Jesus,
56:51
those that are coming to simply see what they can get from her, but
56:54
never want to leave a blessing, never want to be a blessing. And
56:58
so we just come against that now in the name of Jesus. So I
57:00
just speak refreshing to you right now, Pastor Teresa, I speak of refreshing
57:06
to your life. I speak of refreshing. It's like I see God just
57:08
giving you like a fresh breath because of the weight that He's about to break
57:15
off of you. And so God, I thank you even as I continue
57:19
in my prayer of Exdus fifteen that verse says, the Lord is my strength
57:22
and my song. He has given me victory. This is my God,
57:25
and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
57:30
Thank you God right now for you being our strength and our song.
57:34
God says, I will be my children. I will be your strength.
57:37
Don't wait, don't trust, don't put your hope in man, don't put
57:42
your don't put everything on what somebody promised you. You. Let me be
57:45
the strength. Not only let me be the strength, but God said,
57:49
let me be your foundation. I will be the foundation. Come back to
57:52
me. Remember what I've told you, Remember the promise that I've given to
57:55
you. And God says, I will strengthen you for the journey. And
58:00
I just love it. He said, not only would be my strength,
58:01
but I will be. I will be your song. Father, God,
58:05
give us your song. Give us a song of praise, Give us a
58:08
song of remembrance. Give us a song that honors you. Put a melody
58:14
in our heart, put a melody in our mouth, put a melody down
58:16
in our spirit, so that we remind ourselves of who you are. We
58:22
gonna continue to praise you because you are worthy of all praise. We thank
58:25
you for victories that we have in Jesus, because of the lamb of God
58:29
who died for our sins, we have victory to walk in the abundance of
58:32
God's provision. He said, I've come to give you life, and to
58:36
give it to you more abundantly. God said, I didn't give you it.
58:37
Didn't say I just came to give you a way over. I didn't
58:40
just come to give you so you can barely make it. God said,
58:44
there's an abundance for you. But as a requirement from you to receive that
58:47
abundance, that requirement is that we gotta trust in God and not ourselves,
58:53
because the heart of man can be deceived. But we gotta trust fully in
58:58
our Lord and Savior. I want to say it again, God said,
59:01
the ungodly handlers are out, The ungodly henders are looking. It's like they
59:07
got raid, are looking to see how they can leach off for you.
59:10
We all not so God. I even declare in the name of Jesus that
59:15
you are hidding. God. Hide us in your wing, Hide us Lord
59:20
God in the secret place. Hide us Father, so that even those that
59:23
are trying to seek us out and find us cannot attach themselves to us.
59:28
They can't find us. Why because we're moving too fast. In the spirit
59:31
God, I just thank you God, the spiritual says again, the Lord
59:35
is a warrior. Your way is his name. You alone, God,
59:38
are mighty in battle. You are the God that sees me, God that
59:43
sees us, the God that knows our very need. You are the God
59:46
who heals us. God, I thank you for healing today. You are
59:51
the God that provides all that we need. You are our provider. We
59:54
thank you today. God. If you are provide up, if you are
59:59
healer, you are way maker, if you are mighty. Then why are
1:00:02
we going to lesser gods? I hit it up our slight. Why are
1:00:06
we trusting in lesser things? God forgive us. We're gonna stop trusting ourselves.
1:00:10
We're gonna stop trusting in lesser things. Because you alone, It says
1:00:15
you alone. You are alone. You are alone. You alone are God
1:00:20
and mighty in battle. You are the God that sees us. And we
1:00:22
thank you for your provision today. You are the God that fights for us.
1:00:27
God, I thank you today that every battle that may have come up
1:00:30
against us, we have only one because you are in front of us in
1:00:35
fact, there's sometimes that I remember in the scripture, were told them stand
1:00:38
and see the salvation of the Lord God. There are times when we ain't
1:00:43
doing a thing but standing and seeing. There are sometimes when we're staying in
1:00:46
worship. We're standing and rejoicing, We're standing and giving you our stone.
1:00:52
We're standing and we're watching the salvation of the Lord show up. Because no
1:00:57
weapon formed against us will accomplish what the Day sent it to do. I
1:01:00
decree and declare that not only are you victorious, but even the weights that
1:01:05
have been holding you down, I decree and declare for you that those weights
1:01:08
are lifted. Why because our God is our provider, Our God is worrying
1:01:15
for us. Verse six in that scripture says, your right hand, O
1:01:20
Lord, it's glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes
1:01:24
the enemy. Hai. Thank you for breaking every change. Thank you for
1:01:29
great deliverance. God. I thank you for delivering us from things in our
1:01:32
mind, past past traumas, past hurts, past things that have kept us
1:01:37
in bondage. Thank you today for breaking that, Lord, God, thank
1:01:42
you for restoring our joy. For many of you that have been suffering with
1:01:45
depression, and and and and other things that are going on in your life.
1:01:50
Thank you yet, my son, for restoring our joy. Ah,
1:01:52
there's a joy kind of kind of take you back to that verse. It
1:01:55
says, give my strength and my song. You ain't got a song when
1:01:59
you're down. You ain't got a song or a song you got as a
1:02:01
woe as me song. But he says, I will give you a song.
1:02:06
God is gonna replace that song of sorrow for a song of joy.
1:02:09
God is gonna replace that song of pity for a song of promise. God
1:02:15
is gonna resverse that song of despair for a song of destiny. God is
1:02:20
going to give you a new song. So thank you for restoring our joy
1:02:23
our peace today. Thank you for restoring our peace today. God, we
1:02:28
thank you that you are restorative God. Thank you for our confidence in you
1:02:31
and in your word. I'm not puffed up in myself, for I am
1:02:37
wise enough to know I know nothing except for the Lord. I know nothing
1:02:42
unless he teaches me. I don't know where to go unless he leave me.
1:02:45
I don't know where to stand unless he showed me. I don't know
1:02:47
how to pray unless he pray through me. I know nothing without him,
1:02:52
you know, nothing without Him. So, Lord God, we are not
1:02:55
confidence in this fleshure, We're not comfort in this play. Our confidence is
1:03:01
in Christ. Thank you for teaching us God how to listen to you.
1:03:07
Thank you for teaching us give our ears the ability to hear. Move out
1:03:12
the spiritual wax that keeps us going over and over and over again in the
1:03:17
wrong messages and thoughts. Help our ears to hear clearly from you. Restore
1:03:22
our ability to hear, Restore our ability to see. To restore our vision,
1:03:28
our spiritual vision, so that we're able to see and discern. Remove
1:03:31
the spiritual cataracts from our eyes, so that we are able to see clearly
1:03:37
what it is that you have for us today, Lord God, teach us,
1:03:39
teach us, Teach us how to stand, teach us how to fight,
1:03:45
Teach us how to pray. Teach us, Lord God, so that
1:03:47
we know God, exactly what it is that you have for us. Teach
1:03:52
us Ed and our our son and Father. We say thank you the Father.
1:03:59
As I began to end this prayer, I say to you, I
1:04:03
say to us, I declare before you God. Do we thank you today
1:04:10
that you are a God that cares about us and because you care for us.
1:04:15
God, I thank you that you are continually teaching us how to show
1:04:19
up and be your children, how to move in the power that you have
1:04:25
given unto us. Continue to give us the ability to discern, so we
1:04:30
walk rightly before You help us to understand the signs that are around us,
1:04:34
so that we know how to pray. Teach us, Lord God, how
1:04:38
to pray, how to alive ourselves with your purpose and your power. Not
1:04:42
out of fear, not out of doubt. But we walk in the great
1:04:45
strength and confidence because you, God, are our warrior. Your way is
1:04:50
his name. So Father, we give you the praise, we give you
1:04:54
the honor. It's in Jesus's name. We pray this prayer and declare them
1:04:58
so a man and admen. I thank you for joining me. I pray
1:05:05
this lesson about the ungodly handlers who touched you. If you didn't get a
1:05:15
chance to see it, please go back and watch the full the full one.
1:05:19
When I'm done. Next week I will be finishing up the lessons from
1:05:26
in the Secret Place, and we will be talking teach me to pray,
1:05:30
So we're gonna see what the lords say about teach me to pray. Amen.
1:05:33
So as always, I appreciate your time spent with me and I want
1:05:41
to say again as we always say, we're gonna pray what until the mountains
1:05:46
are moved. God bless you and have a great day. Go byde
