The Mission of the Outcast · Mountain Mover's Prayer

0:02
Well, good evening, everybody, glad you could join me. I'm gonna
0:08
go ahead and get started, and and I'm gonna try to keep my eye
0:11
open for as people are popping in so I can let them in. So
0:18
I want to welcome you to the mountain movers. Uh waitt, got some
0:21
more coming in? Let me let them in? All right? Did I
0:28
get everybody in? All right? I think I got you all right.
0:33
I want to welcome you the mountain Movers prayer. And when I normally started
0:37
my show, I said, we where we pray until mountains or move.
0:41
So today I want us to kind of leave from this place realizing, no
0:46
matter where you started, God has the mission assigned just for you. So
0:52
today's lesson I'm calling the mission of the outcast. And I did not realize
0:58
until, you know, until recent I was just telling, okay, I
1:06
can't talk to you. Hold on. I think somebody's having a hard time
1:10
getting in. Hold on one second, let me send her the link.
1:22
She's hard Normally, normally my assistant helps me so I don't have to let
1:25
people in and send links. But I'm doing it all myself today. I
1:37
think that's what she needed, all right. So anyway, where was I.
1:44
So what I was scary to say was what I was excited about this
1:47
message. As I was sharing with doctor Marcus was I realized that I actually
1:53
tried to teach this message almost two years ago. But what happened was face
2:00
this book blocked me, so no one ever saw it. And so I
2:02
kind of looked at it. And when I looked at it, I said,
2:08
oh wow, this is pretty cool because it was actually almost the same.
2:16
It was almost the same message. So I say, okay, Lord,
2:21
you know I appreciate I appreciate what you're doing because evidently you want this
2:30
message to get out. Excuse me, I am still trying to help somebody
2:35
get in. Okay, she's not in here, give me a moment.
2:52
I apologize, all right, all right, here we go. So,
3:14
anyway, as I was saying, so I tried to get this message about
3:16
two years ago, but what happened it got blocked. So evidently God really
3:21
wants us to hear the message, because when on Sunday, when I went
3:24
back and looked at it, it really blessed me because it's almost the same
3:29
thing he gave me today. So I'm just gonna jump right in I'm coming
3:32
in from Second Kings the seventh chapter. I'm reading the third and fourth verse,
3:38
and this is from the New Limit translacuation. So it says, now
3:43
there were four men with leprosy sitting at the entrance of the city gates.
3:46
Why should we sit here waiting to die? They asked each other. We
3:50
will starve if we stay here, but with the famine in the city,
3:53
we will starve if we go back there, so we might as well.
4:00
So we might as well, it's my place here, so we might as
4:06
well go on, go out and surrender to the Armenian army. If they
4:10
let us live, so much the better. But if they kill us,
4:14
we would have died anyway. Ain't that a message? So there's let me
4:18
get a little bit of background, and then I want to kind of break
4:24
this down some. So the scripture doesn't really tell us who these four men
4:28
are. One reference stated that the Jews says that this could have been Gahesi
4:33
and his three sons. Perhaps Gaehesi might have been one of the men,
4:38
which case which causes him to be taking notice of afterwards by the King and
4:44
Second Kings eight and four. Nevertheless, we know these four men had leprosy
4:49
and were considered outcasts. Right, So we know they were considered outcasts based
4:57
on the law. They were not supposed to be around owned others, and
5:00
when they did, they were to call out that they were unclean. So
5:04
let me tell you what is Let me talk for a moment about what actually
5:09
is an outcast. An outcast is someone who is not accepted by a group
5:14
of people or by society. Some other words to associate with outcast is somebody
5:21
is undesirable, a cast away in this case, a leoper, a vagabond,
5:29
a refugee in the sense of an exile. So it's a person who
5:33
is rejected or excluded to some kind of capacity from a particular group or from
5:40
society. Right. So these men find themselves as outcast because of their condition.
5:46
We don't know if this was something that they caused, but it was
5:50
something that they had to deal with. They had to deal with because this
5:54
was the law. If you had leprosy, you had to There was some
5:57
guidelines, so you didn't have an option, right. So but I can
6:00
ask the question, let me just put a pin right there, how many
6:03
times in your lives, in my life, have we found ourselves as outcast
6:11
because of your condition. How many times have you felt like a castaway or
6:18
even an undesirable Yet, what I want us to take away from today's lesson
6:24
is that, guess what, even if you are cast away, even if
6:28
you were considered undesirable by others, God still has a mission for you.
6:34
So you just say to yourself, God has a mission for me. See,
6:38
sometimes we can exclude ourselves based on conditions and situations and circumstances that we
6:45
don't have no control over. They didn't have any control over whether they was
6:48
gonna get leprosy or not. It is what it is. They will handle
6:51
the they were handed some conditions that they could not control. How many times
6:58
in our life have we been handled some conditions that we just had no control
7:01
of them, and therefore, because of it, we found ourselves as outcasts.
7:05
So first thing in the scripture, it says, why should we sit
7:10
here waiting to die? Why should we sit here waiting to die? Now,
7:16
let me tell you what the conditions are. So I'm gonna give you
7:19
the backstory because maybe you haven't read this piece of scripture. Just in case
7:23
you haven't, I want to give you the backstory so we can fully understand
7:27
what is taking place here today. So in Second Kings the sixth chapter and
7:31
verses twenty four the twenty nine, and welcome everybody that made it in.
7:36
Sometime later, however, King ben Hadad of Aram mustered his entire army and
7:44
besieged Samaria. As a result, is what the scripture says. There was
7:48
a great famine in the city. The siege lasted so long, so long,
7:55
look at this that a donkey's head sold for eighty pieces of silver and
8:01
a cup of dove's dung. We know what don is. A cup of
8:07
dove's dung sold for five pieces of silver. One day, as the King
8:11
of Israel was walking along the wall of the city, a woman called to
8:15
him, Please help me, my lord the king. He answered, if
8:18
the Lord doesn't help you, what can I do. I have neither food
8:22
from the threshing floor, nor whine from the place to give you. But
8:26
then the king asked, what is the matter, and she replied. This
8:28
woman said to me, come on, let us eat your son today.
8:35
Then we will eat my son tomorrow. Then she said, so we cooked.
8:41
Look at him. Come on, somebody, I need you all to
8:43
follow me. She said, So we cooked to my son and ate him.
8:50
Then the next day I said to her, okay, it's time for
8:52
you heal your son, so we could eat him, but she had hidden
8:56
her son. My god, my god, my god. The condition these
9:01
men find themselves in. There is something about these four men that they aren't
9:07
willing to just accept the status quo. They aren't willing to die in this
9:11
condition. These men are on the outside of the city gate with no access
9:16
to provision, so they ain't even in the gate. They ain't even in
9:20
the city. Yes, as a famine in the city, but they outside
9:22
the gate, so they ain't got no provision. They ain't got no food,
9:24
no shelter, nothing. They outside the gate. But their response is
9:30
why should we sit here waiting to die? Have you found yourself where your
9:35
condition caused you to be outside of the gate? Come on, outside of
9:39
provision, outside of support, outside of protection, and it wasn't necessarily your
9:45
fault. If I'm not getting nothing else about this lesson, I keep getting
9:48
the Lord saying they in a condition, but it wasn't their fault. But
9:52
look at how they dealt with the condition that they will deal So these men
9:56
they have leprosy, it didn't mean that they did anything wrong. They were
10:01
dealing with the outcome of a situation. And at some point we need to
10:05
resolve, like these four men, that we are going to just wait and
10:09
die in our condition, whatever the condition is. And sometimes you find yourselves
10:13
that needs. The situations what I'm calling them, God said, they're spiritual
10:18
famines, and in spiritual famines, folks will even eat their own. Let
10:24
me just pause right there. I need for y'all to hear that people will
10:28
eat their own even in spiritual famines. How do I know what I'm talking
10:33
about? I said, Well, Lord, give me an example. He
10:35
said, sure enough, He said, guess what have you seen? Soon
10:39
as one person falls or has a stumble, guess what they like piranhas.
10:43
They jump on them, ready to throw them to the wolves, to kill
10:48
the rest of their name. Why because they believe if it will feed their
10:52
ministry, it's gonna feed their purpose, it's gonna feed their name, it's
10:58
gonna feed whatever it is they want, it's gonna feed that follow us.
11:03
So they guess what they can grow and they can be nervoush off of the
11:07
death of a brother or sister. My God, that's what God said is
11:11
the spiritual famiine that we find ourselves in today. We see it all around.
11:16
Folks can't wait for somebody with a big name to fall so they can
11:20
do a podcast on them. Man, I'm so sick of the folks with
11:24
the podcast. Everybody got a podcast about everybody's fault. How about you?
11:28
Where was you before they failed? Where was your podcast about let's be holy?
11:33
Where was your podcast about how do we pray for this one or that?
11:35
Where were those podcasts? We didn't see those podcasts always getting good to
11:39
me. We only saw the podcast after they failed. And God said,
11:43
this is why he is looking for and that is why some of us got
11:50
some missions, even though we might have felt like in ourcast, because we
11:54
in the situation where there is great family, there's a spiritual family. Do
11:58
you I'm kind of understanding. I was like, Lord, he kept talking
12:03
to me today. I said, God, it's something that am I missing
12:05
something what I'm hearing? God said, Daughter, you gave this message two
12:09
years ago, it got blocked, but I need you to give it today
12:13
because it's crucial. We are in the mental of a spiritual famine. And
12:20
they said, these men said, we will starve if we stay here,
12:24
Come on, somebody, we will starve if we stay here. Amongst themselves,
12:31
they came to an understanding if they stayed where they were at, they
12:35
were gonna starve. One of the first steps for the mission of the outcasts
12:39
is you gotta assess your current condition. Because somebody put that into comment.
12:45
You assess your current condition. That's wherever you are. It's not just about
12:48
what church you go to. It's about who your friends, what's around you,
12:54
what's your own personal life. You got to assess your current condition.
13:00
Is it one that's gonna sustain you? Or is it one that has no
13:07
provision? Is it a famine going on? Is there a lack of substance?
13:15
That's right. We gotta assess our current condition. You gotta check it
13:18
and see if my current condition conducive to me being sustained in this place.
13:24
If not, we can't stay in whatever That current condition is nowhere, but
13:30
I love it nowhere. In this conversation, do I hear them complain that
13:35
they have leprosy? Did y'all hear that? I didn't hear them say,
13:39
oh, no, no way. Did I hear them say, oh,
13:43
this is unfair? The condition we find ourselves here. I don't hear that
13:46
either they understood this much that to stay in this current condition, I wouldn't
13:54
survive. And you have to find and if you find yourself on the outside
13:58
of the gate, and gates represents kind of like that. Uh, you
14:03
know, gates have different meanings. So if you're on the outside of the
14:05
gate, that means you locked out of something. Sometimes you know, when
14:09
you're outside of the gate, you you don't have the provision, you don't
14:11
have the access. So guess what it's some places and spaces that you've been
14:16
locked out of that the enemy has kept you from being able to access,
14:20
and your condition has kept you from being able to access. But I'm gonna,
14:22
I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back to that a little later because I
14:24
want you to realize that sometimes we look at it and say it's the enemy
14:30
do it, But sometimes God is using I'm not saying he's making your condition
14:35
the way it is, but he gonna use it for his purpose. And
14:39
so that there has to be a resolve deep on the inside that says I
14:43
can't stay here. And so I just need you to confirm that for me
14:48
right now. I just need you to write it. I can't stay here
14:52
wherever that here is, and we're gonna say I can't stay here. I
14:58
can't stay in a place of feeling sorry for myself. I can't stay in
15:01
a place where a feel I can't stay in a place of doubt. I
15:05
can't stay here. I can't stay here. I can't stay here because to
15:09
stay where I am in this place, it's a spiritual famine and I'm not
15:13
going to be able to get feed. I can't stay here. Come on,
15:18
somebody, and so I wanna I just want to pause for a moment
15:22
before I go to the next one, because this is how the Lord kind
15:24
of led me. And as we're gonna do, I'm gonna kind of pray
15:26
as I go through the lesson. When we come to the end, i'm
15:28
gonna do a general prayer. We're gonna cut off the recording, and then
15:33
those that have been assigned to prayer, we just gonna pray. So you
15:35
know, if you have a prayer requests at the end, you can put
15:39
it in. If you don't, just stay around, because we don't know
15:41
how God gonna show up a man. So Lord, I just thank you
15:45
right now that she says I'm gonna prepare the outcasts for their mission. God.
15:50
I thank you that you are preparing the outcast for mission. God,
15:54
because we're not going to die in our to our purpose. God. Right
15:58
now, ask that you touch everybody that's on this live, those that even
16:03
may listen to the replay that God, they come to a place of assessing
16:07
where they are and if it is not feeding them, if it's not conducive,
16:11
if it's a spiritual famine where even brothers and sisters are eating each other,
16:17
where there is nothing, there's no provision, there's no word, there's
16:21
no prayer where there is a lack in that place. Be it not just
16:25
their physical churches, but sometimes you could be in a church rich, but
16:27
you still could be in a place of famine. So Father, I pray
16:30
now in the name of Jesus, that you prepare those for outcasts that you
16:36
call our casts for their mission. God. We just declared that we won't
16:40
die to our purpose, Lord God, and no longer we would not die.
16:44
But we're not gonna eat one another in the midst of this famine.
16:47
Father, We're not going to get into looking for and seeking the demise of
16:52
another. Father. Even in that those that may have done us wrong.
16:56
Father, we forgive them now, we let them go, We release them,
17:00
because then releasing them, we release ourselves. And Father, we say,
17:03
like them, we're not going to stay in starving conditions. We're not
17:08
gonna stay in places that's not feeding us, not feeding our soul. We're
17:12
not gonna starve ourselves. Oh, my god, God says, sometimes we
17:15
be starving ourselves. We're not gonna be God says, Oh, we're not
17:22
gonna do what they do that binge and purge. We ain't gonna stuff ourselves
17:26
and then purge ourself. Ahuh, we ain't doing under that blimic type of
17:30
stuff. We getting ready to feed ourselves rightly, and we're going to eat
17:36
rightly. We're not gonna do these things just stuff ourselves and then we can't
17:40
hold it. Oh God, thank you, help us to eat rightly as
17:45
we sit at your table, as we come to your feet, as we
17:48
seek you, because Father, we got a mission and it's gonna happen,
17:52
and so we say thank you for it in Jesus' name. All right,
17:56
So keep going. I'm gonna keep going, my God, my God.
17:59
So they said we can't stay here, So what did they say. They
18:03
said, so we might as well go out. As a collective, they
18:08
came to a decision. I want you to understand something about this. They
18:12
made a decision they will outcast together. But they made a decision together.
18:18
I believe God is saying in this season, he said, I'm gonna put
18:21
you with some other outcasts, and you're gonna come into a unity of these,
18:26
a unity amongst these outcasts. They're gonna be the right kind of outcasts,
18:30
because they gonna be those that are willing to see and to come in
18:33
agreement with what God is doing. So collectively they made a decision we might
18:38
as well go out. Let me pause and make an insert right here in
18:44
Kings chapter seven, verses one and two. This is what it says.
18:49
Elijah replied, listen to this message from the Lord. This is what the
18:55
Lord says. By this time tomorrow, in the markets of Samaria, six
19:00
of choice flower will cost only one piece of silver, and twelve quarters of
19:03
barley grain will cost only one piece of silver. The officer assistant the King
19:10
said to the man of God, that couldn't happen even if the Lord opened
19:12
the windows of heaven. Hop But Elijah replied, you will see it happen
19:18
with your own eyes, but you won't be able to eat any of it.
19:21
Can I keep coming before I go home? Let me just see,
19:22
did not just tell you how much they was spending for dunk? Look at
19:29
how little they gonna be spending for the provisions that they need. Don't you
19:33
know? Sometimes we squander money on stuff that's not good for us. We
19:37
squander time, we squander resources on stuff that's not good for us. But
19:41
God is saying, come and eat of me, because what I got for
19:45
you, it is a good thing and it's going to be beneficient. So
19:48
the prophet gave them a word to the king about what God was doing.
19:52
Now let me tell you why did I give you that insert. These men
19:56
were having a conversation that they should go, but kind of interject that this
20:00
wasn't their idea, This was God's idea. Come on, liver somebody that
20:06
forgive me a little liberty. Where they said, we might as well go
20:10
out. As I was doing this, what I could hear the spirits say,
20:12
I might as well send them come on somebody. See too often we
20:19
disqualify ourselves because we have some stigma following us. Oh, I don't speak
20:26
well. Ain't that with one person? One in the Bible says, I
20:29
don't speak well. I stutter. But it don't matter if you stutter.
20:33
All you need to do is to still speak the word of God and to
20:37
proclaim what he said, whether you got to say it slow, whether you
20:41
gotta say it over and over again. The other folks, well, i'm
20:44
not brave enough. I'm too young, I'm too old. I'm to this,
20:48
I'm to that, I'm a woman, I'm this, I'm that.
20:52
We got all these reasons that to qualify us. But I just hear the
20:55
Lord say, if I could find somebody willing to say, let I go
21:00
out. I'm not gonna stay in these conditions. The Holy Spirit said,
21:03
I'm gonna send you. I'm gonna send you. So what do we do?
21:08
We tend instead sit and die. We die of our purpose, die
21:12
of our promise, die of our mission. But God is looking for some
21:17
folks to say, I don't care, I don't, I don't look the
21:19
part. I'm not going to stay here and die. I'm not. I'm
21:23
gonna be a risk taker and I might as well go out. They didn't
21:29
know what they were going to get but they had resolved in their hearts and
21:33
minds. Come on, somebody that if I die, it might as well
21:38
be that I died trying. And the beauty is they gonna discover that they
21:45
ain't gonna have to do anything to receive the bless it's in the going that
21:51
the manifestation is already ready. See, they didn't know what the prophet had
21:55
already said. See the word had already been said, and it was already
22:00
going. It was already true. God was just looking for somebody to align
22:03
themselves with what the word was hot and so that they can walk into it.
22:08
Come on, somebody it And I'm a sudden it is so, and
22:11
so it's like, so guess what what they going for? It is already
22:17
gonna be waiting for. Let me let oh, Jesus Father, help us
22:21
to go out out from lack, out from disappointment, out from disease,
22:27
out from discouragement, out from despression, out from anything that starves our purpose.
22:33
Help us to go out. Help us to not be afraid. God,
22:37
break off fear today, off of anybody that has been afraid to move
22:41
out of because of what it looks like. God, let us be some
22:45
risk takers in this season, let us be willing to say, God,
22:48
if you send me, I'll go. I don't care what it looks like.
22:52
I'm gonna die trying. If i'm gonna die anyway, I'm gonna die
22:56
in purpose. If i'm gonna die anyway, I'm gonna die going. If
23:00
i'm gonna die anyway, I'm gonna die on the way. I'm not gonna
23:03
die sitting I'm gonna die moving. I'm not gonna die in a place that's
23:07
starving me. If i'm gonna die, I'm gonna die because I'm going all
23:11
the way for God. I'm not gonna die sitting still and missing my blessing.
23:15
I'm gonna die. If I gotta die, I'm going on. Oh,
23:19
sock, I'm moving. I'm moving. I'm moving. I'm moving.
23:23
Help us to go far, because the mission of the Outcast requires a people
23:29
God with a resolve to go out, to be sent out, because going
23:34
is better than staying and letting our purpose die. Hey, so we the
23:40
class as your people. I'm going out. I'm going out. I'm going
23:49
out. Thank you Jesus, my sock, I'm going out. You going
23:55
out? You going? That's right? I'm going out, going out wherever
24:00
the out is, because out means you was restrained in some place. They
24:04
were restrained in a place that did not have provision for them. They were
24:08
restrained in a place where they had nothing. But they said, I'm not
24:14
gonna stay here, I'm going out. Oh thank you, geez, come
24:18
on, somebody, ha Second Kings. I'm gonna keep going with Second Kings,
24:22
Chapter seven, verse five and eight. So at twilight they set out
24:27
for the camp of the Armenians. But when they came to the edge of
24:33
the camp, no one was there. Hai, for the Lord had caused
24:37
the Armenian army to hear the clatter of speeding chariots and the collapse, the
24:42
galloping of horses, and the sounds of a great army approaching. The King
24:48
of Israel has hired the hit Tights and the Egyptians to attack us. They
24:53
cried to one another, So they panicked, come on, somebody, come
24:57
on, let me just I just need to highlight that for myself. They
25:00
panicked and ran into the night, abandoning their tents, horses, donkeys,
25:07
and everything else as they fled for their lives. When the men would leopardsy
25:12
arrived at the edge of the camp. They went into one tenth after another,
25:18
eating and drinking wine, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing
25:22
and heating. Let me break this down for what the Lord said. First
25:26
of all, I said they set out at twilight. Twilight was not a
25:30
convenient time, but it was a God time. What do I mean?
25:36
They had to move it just the right time to be able to find what
25:40
they did when they found it. So why is that significant? One of
25:45
the missions of the outcast is to be so hungry for where you are going
25:52
that you don't let anything get in your way of hindering you. You're willing
25:57
to get up early to pray because it's not about it being a convenient time,
26:03
it's about it being a God time. You're willing to go the extra
26:07
mile. You're willing to go the extra distance. You're willing to move even
26:12
if it's uncomfortable time. Why, because you have accepted that you need to
26:18
go out. You've accepted that God's calling and timing has a perfect reason for
26:23
it. They didn't maybe realize it, they just but I feel like some
26:27
part of them said, you know what, we gotta move now because now
26:32
is the right time. You know, there are times when we try to
26:36
talk ourselves out of moving. Well, maybe I should wait till I get
26:38
this. Well, maybe I should wait till I get that. You know,
26:41
that's a good idea. But I'm gonna wait till this it's perfect.
26:44
I'm'a wait, I'm wait, i'm a wait, i'm'a wait, i'm aa
26:45
wait. And you know what you've done. You done set down, you
26:48
done got comfortable, and don't realize that you miss sometimes or you didn't move
26:55
when God was wanting you to move. And so they said, no,
26:57
no, we're gonna set out. And what happens is when they sat out
27:03
they got there, the Lord had already caused the defeat. It was already
27:10
done. When they came in the camp, they said, they don't find
27:12
no one why because the Lord had fulfilled the word where he had given the
27:19
prophet and he said he showed up. God showed up and caused the sound
27:26
of defeat to enter the enemy's camp. Can I tell you something, God
27:30
has already sent the sound of defeat to the enemy's camp against you. Come
27:37
on, somebody, see some of us don't realize we waiting for God to
27:41
fix it. He is like, No, my declaration on your time is
27:47
it's already fixed. It's already set in motion. What you waiting for,
27:52
what you're looking for, what you're hoping for, it's already set. I
27:56
just need you to go. I need you to align yourself and move.
28:00
And when you align yourself and move, you're gonna walk into the answer.
28:04
You're gonna walk into the fact that it's already been a defeat. You're gonna
28:08
walk in and you're gonna be able to find the miraculous thing. See who
28:15
found this? It's the for leapers. There are going to be some miraculous
28:22
signs we could miss if we refuse to move when the leading of the Holy
28:26
Spirit comes. Guess what. The king didn't see it. The army didn't
28:33
find these. It was the outcast, the outcast fountain. Guess what.
28:38
I might be an outcast, but I'm gonna I'm going to see the Lord's
28:42
victory. You might be an outcast, but guess what, You're the one
28:47
here signed to find a miracle. You might be somebody else's idea of being
28:52
not the right type or or disqualifying you, but God said you was qualified
28:56
to be the one that's walk into the enemy's camp and to see that he'd
29:00
had already set it up for you. Because then what the scripture said,
29:04
they gathered the spoilers. These four men got excited. I got excited too.
29:11
I ain't nothing. And who knows how long they walk in, They
29:14
just like, wait, b going this tent. I'm going that tent.
29:17
I everything I won't. They was eating stuff, getting stuff, drinking.
29:21
They got a couple of little trinkets that they done tried to had. But
29:23
guess what, guess what's gonna happen. Something's gonna happen. See, God
29:29
is trying to remind us. All I need you to do is be ready.
29:33
And it's okay that you be a little excited about the stuff. But
29:37
he said, but you can't stay there too long because guess what happened next
29:40
second. Keen seven nine through thirteen says it's finally they said to each other,
29:45
this is not right. That's what they said. They said, this
29:51
is not right. They said, this is the day of good news,
29:53
and we aren't sharing it with anyone. If we were waiting to mornings to
30:00
cot, some calamity will certainly fall upon us. Come on, let's go
30:04
back and tell the people at the palace. So they went back to the
30:08
city and told the gatekeeper what happened. We went out to the Armenian camp,
30:12
they said, and no one was there. The horses and donkeys were
30:15
teetered, and the tents were all in order, but there wasn't a single
30:18
person around. Then the gatekeeper show shouted the news to the people in the
30:22
palace. The king got out of bed in the middle of the night and
30:26
told his officers, I know what has happened. Now wait a minute,
30:30
now listen what the king said. The Armenians know we are starving, so
30:33
they have left their camps and have hidden in the fields. They're expecting us
30:37
to leave the city. Then they will take us alive and capture the city.
30:41
See he just forgot he had the conversation with the prophet that told him
30:45
what what was getting ready to happen. See, sometimes you can't depend on
30:48
somebody else to get somebody else got the word, and they ain't always gonna
30:52
handle it. Somebody else might have got the news, they ain't always gonna
30:56
handle it. You got to be willing to say, Lord, I didn't
30:59
even didn't even come to me. But I'm trusting that what I see you
31:03
you won't do it for me. I'm gonna move out anyway, And so
31:06
he says, so that Armenians new we're starving, So he said of his
31:10
one of his officers reply, we had better send our scouts to check into
31:12
this. Let them take five of them remaining horses. If something happens to
31:18
them, it would be no worse than if they stayed here and died with
31:21
the rest of us. I mean, first of all, this excitement that
31:23
they got going on here is just I mean, they like, well,
31:26
whatever, we're just gonna send somebody. If they die, they die.
31:29
I mean really, that's what they said. We ain't send it too many
31:32
of y'all, but y'all go ahead, and if it's a trap, y'all
31:36
gonna get killed. But y'all was gonna die anyway, So it's no big
31:38
deal. That's a whole nother message anyho. So this is a good news,
31:44
and we aren't sharing it with anyone. That's what they said. Again.
31:48
They became a collective voice and decided that this isn't right. We're only
31:55
concerned about ourselves. We need to go back in media and share this with
31:57
the city. A few things about the character of an outcast that I think
32:02
is important for us. First, these four men are in unity. If
32:07
you find yourself in a group of misfits, make sure they're at least trying
32:10
to be kingdom fit. You hear me, If you're in a group of
32:16
misfits, make sure they're trying to be kingdom fit. In other words,
32:21
don't hang around outcasts that are content with death. Don't hang around folks that
32:28
are content that that complain and whining, And every suggestion that that that's brought
32:35
about about moving is always when now we can't do that, or that ain't
32:38
gonna work, and that we did that before and that didn't work that time,
32:43
whatever was that time, it's a whole nother time. Let's pray about
32:45
it, let's come together, let's come to an agreement on something. These
32:49
men kept coming to an agreement. That thing keeps standing out to me.
32:53
But the second thing is they ain't holding no grudges against the people in the
32:59
city. They could have said, well, we're outside the gate. They
33:05
were worried about us, Ben worried about them. And guess what, that's
33:07
the kind of mindset that would keep us from being chosen for assignments. We
33:13
can't be selfish. They weren't selfish. So even those situations and circumstances and
33:19
the like may be causing you to be on the outside. When God gives
33:22
you an assignment, this is the benefit not only for you, but it's
33:27
for others. So you have to go and share it. Amen. Second
33:31
Key seven fourteen and twenty says, So two cherriots were with horses, were
33:37
prepared, and the king sent scouts to see what it happened to the Armeni.
33:40
That's right, unity, and they were not selfish. They went all
33:45
the way to the Jordan River, following a trail of clothes and equipment that
33:49
the Armenians had thrown away in their mad rush to escape. Just imagine,
33:53
not only did God send the sound of defeat, he sent it so bad
33:59
that they even stuff that they tried to take they dropped. He scared them
34:05
so bad they dropped stuff. So they found the stuff all along the way.
34:10
So the scouts returned and told the king about it. Then the people
34:15
of some man rushed out and plundered the Armenian king camps. So it was
34:20
true that six courts of choicet flyer was sold that day for one piece of
34:23
silver, and twelve courts of barley grain was sold for one piece of silver,
34:28
just as the Lord had promised. The King appointed his offerer to control
34:31
of the traffic at the gate, but he was not down and trampled to
34:36
death as the people rushed out, so that everything happened exactly as the Man
34:44
of God had predicted. When the king came to his house, the Man
34:49
of God had said to the king, by this time tomorrow in the market
34:52
Samaria, six courts of choice flyer will cost one piece of silver, and
34:57
twelve courts of barley grain will cost one piece of silver. The king's officer
35:00
had replied, that couldn't happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven.
35:04
And the Man of God had said to him, guess what he said.
35:07
You will see it happen with your own eyes, but you won't be
35:09
able to eat up. Well, I guess not, because he was killed,
35:13
and so it was for the people had trampled him to death at the
35:15
gate, how And I just made a note there at the end, don't
35:21
die at the gate because you refuse to believe. Don't die at the gate
35:30
because you refuse to believe. When they are rushing out to get the spoils.
35:37
Don't be one trampled because of your heart heartedness, of your inability to
35:44
say yes God. It might sound like the miraculous, but it's still what
35:50
you can do. So the mission of the outcast is to be the vessel
35:54
to fulfilling the word of God. Again, remember if someone they had leprosy,
36:00
they had to leave their home and families and go live on the outskirt
36:04
of the town with other sufferers. They were forbidden to have any contact with
36:09
people who didn't have the disease. Early on, the Israelites believed that this
36:15
was actually a punishment for sining. But it wasn't because but you know what,
36:20
how many people in your time have looked at you because you're going through
36:22
a hard way and have some kind of way automatically Soon you going through a
36:27
hard way because you must have seen and then what Joel's friends did. But
36:31
can I tell you sometimes we go through a hard place. But let me
36:37
help you here. I have to think about this. I say, God,
36:40
what is it? What's the main message that you want us to hear?
36:45
He said, think about it. Daughter. They had leprosy, and
36:50
the condition and the outcome of what they was going through was law. They
36:58
dealt with it, they didn't complain about it. But even in them being
37:02
dealt with or dealing with this condition, God still found and used them to
37:08
be the ones that walked into a miracle. So what am I trying to
37:14
tell you? How about this? And I raise my own hand. Sometimes
37:19
we got to learn how to stop complaining about our conditions. Sometimes we complaining,
37:27
We upset, We mad at God, Lord, why you let this
37:31
happen to me? Why you let that? Can I just interject for your
37:36
thinking. Maybe I'm not saying he calls what you're going through, but maybe
37:40
he used your flight to set you up to be those that walk in to
37:47
the miracle. Maybe he puts you in a position where you was like these
37:53
men, they was like hey. Basically they was like, look, stop,
37:58
ain't going good for us? No way? What we got to look
38:00
see Sometimes when everything going well, you were comfortable, they was They was
38:07
in the most uncomfortable place because not only did was it famine, but they
38:09
was on the outside. So they wasn't in they comfortable beds, They wasn't
38:14
with their family. They was going through this with other sufferers. But these
38:20
sufferers turned into two a mission accomplish to those that God called for mission.
38:27
These that were suffering turned around and became those that God sent. They became
38:32
set ones. Come on, somebody, can I tell you today? God
38:37
said I would take some sufferers and make them sent one. Yeah, no,
38:42
soul, you ain't gotten it. So yeah, I'm motival. So
38:45
God said I will take your suffer. You was a sufferer, and guess
38:50
what he said. Don't complain about it, don't murmur about it. It
38:54
ain't gonna make sense. Promise, it ain't gonna make sense. It don't
38:58
make no sense. It don't make make no sense, and don't make no
39:00
sense. How I know because my stuff still don't make no sense. But
39:04
I've learned to say, God, you took the sufferer in me and made
39:08
me a sent one. So guess what I'm getting ready to walk in?
39:13
You getting ready to walk in. We already walking into place throughs of territory
39:16
that God got for us, and were going in and seeing the miracles.
39:21
We ain't got to do the work. It's already done God already provided.
39:24
He already made it. He called us sent one, so we can walk
39:30
in and take over and do what he called us to do. But guess
39:34
what, Guess what, Guess what. Now this is the part where you
39:36
got to take a break oo, he said, Cause even when I'm gonna
39:42
make you a sent one, sometimes I'm gonna still send you back to them,
39:46
same communities that cashed you out. I'm gonna send you to them,
39:52
same folks that didn't see you. Them, same folks that didn't know that
39:58
you had to need them, same folks told you you wasn't It's them same
40:00
folks, your family, your friends, your coworkers, them, same folks.
40:06
They couldn't see who you were. Hi, he said. But I'm
40:10
gonna send you back because guess what, they are in a spiritual famine.
40:16
They are in a spiritual famine. But because they are in a spiritual famine,
40:22
uh huh, because it's a spiritual famine going on, he said.
40:25
But I'm gonna lead you to the bread. I'm gonna lead you to the
40:30
wine. It up by sodden it idiot too. I'm gonna lead you to
40:35
the drink. I'm gonna lead you to the place where you can go from
40:37
tent to tent to tent, place to place, and every place you go
40:43
it's provision where you did. And yeah, at first you're gonna be excited
40:47
about it because you're like, oh, well, but but you gonna remember,
40:50
Oh but it ain't all just for me. It ain't all just for
40:53
me. You're giving me the provision God, And I'm gonna go back and
40:59
tell because guess what, you know what I noticed? No way did I
41:02
see in it. In people's like, it's a lepar it's a leopard.
41:05
We can't talk to them. They sure listened to them levels and ran right
41:12
on out there and did what they needed to do. Then people was like,
41:15
look, we are in such a famine. We don't even see your
41:17
condition no more. Hi, sometimes head out at by side. Folks,
41:22
they thought they were that your condition called you to be an outcast, your
41:27
condition that they called you to be one that they couldn't see as important,
41:32
because that's right, because their desperation and their need was so great, they
41:38
changed their mind about you because God is sending you in with the provision.
41:45
He's sending you in with the provision. And really he said, what will
41:50
you do if you found on the outside. Will you allow your purpose,
41:54
promise and provision to die? Are you gonna be a risk taker. Are
42:00
you gonna say I'm going out of here. I'm not gonna stay here.
42:05
I'm not gonna wait to die here. I got provision, I got promise.
42:08
I'm going because I need to go see all that God got for me.
42:13
And now that I only know that he got it for me. But
42:15
he's gonna call calls for me to be one that feeds others. I'm gonna
42:20
be a source. I'm gonna be an avenue. But even those that might
42:24
not have liked me, even those that might have hated me. But guess
42:29
what, I'm gonna be so unbarbed because my spirit I'm not in a spiritual
42:34
family no more. I'm not in a place of black no more. So
42:37
I don't even care you cannot like me. Guess what. I'm not in
42:42
a place of lack no more. I hear it. O Jesus, Jesus,
42:47
I wanna pray into that. I hope that blessed you. I'm gonna
42:52
pray into that, and then I'm gonna end the recording, and then we're
42:59
gonna continue to pray. Father. I thank you now in the name of
43:02
Jesus and of my soulk order, I said, kid side, thank you,
43:07
Father. I thank you, I thank you. I thank you God,
43:10
for you are such a good, good father. Father. I thank
43:15
you that even first, God, I just want to pray that you help
43:17
us those that have been sufferers. Those are that found themselves in places and
43:23
conditions where they found themselves as a sufferer, where they found themselves on the
43:30
outside of a theeve, where they found themselves disqualified, where they found themselves
43:35
where others spoke against them more said they weren't good enough, or discounted what
43:39
they were. Father. But I thank you because those are the ones.
43:44
They have such a new desperation for you, that God, they don't even
43:47
care no more. They said, Father, I need to go out.
43:52
I can't stay here. I cannot stay in a place of death. I
43:54
can't stay in a place of life. I can't stay in a place where
43:59
I'm not grown. I stay in the place where I'm watching others kill each
44:05
other, eating each other up with their words, and they lives and they
44:07
curse it. Father, I'm not staying here. So, Father, for
44:12
every one of your children that have been on the outside, they said,
44:15
Father, something in the inside of me is rising up. There's a hunger
44:21
rising up inside of me, I'm getting hungry. There's a hunger rising up
44:28
in your people. And God, because there's a hunger rising up, rising
44:30
up in your people, bring us to the place, God, where we
44:34
begin to hear you, our Father. I believe by faith they didn't know
44:38
it was you, but Father, you was in the midst of the conversation
44:43
of the four men. You were in the midst of the conversation. Father,
44:46
Can you begin to get in the midst of some of our conversation.
44:49
Can you begin to get in the midst of our conversations as we talk about
44:52
you, as we discuss where we need to go, as we discuss our
44:55
future, God, begin to by your spirit much enlightenment and understanding on what
45:01
the next is, so that we know we can't stay here because what is
45:06
here we can't survive on what's in this current place ain't gonna sustain us.
45:10
What's right here ain't enough. So we're gonna go out. We're looking for
45:15
more. Father, We're hungry for you, And Father, I thank you
45:17
because they had the mindset of, Hey, we're gonna drive trying, if
45:22
we gonna if we gonna die, we're gonna die trying. Father, We're
45:27
not gonna stay in this place and die. We're gonna grow, and we're
45:30
gonna go. We're gonna go and move and Father, and when we go,
45:32
I thank you that what you've already said, Father, is provision is
45:38
ours. There's provision waiting for us, there's resources waiting for us. So
45:44
Father, I thank you for everybody on this live, even those that will
45:47
watch the replace Father, whatever the resource they need. Father, I thank
45:52
you that it's already done. You done, already went into the enemy's camp
45:54
and took it. You done made the enemy run, You done made the
46:00
didn't me let go of some things? The enemy been holding too long to
46:02
some people's resources. My Father, I thank you that his hands got to
46:06
be taken off their money, his hands got to be taken off their health,
46:08
his hands got to be taken off whatever belongs to them. And Father,
46:13
I thank you for now. Father, continue to have your way and
46:15
father, and help us to do what you called to do to bring about
46:21
some restoration, because that's what happened. It was a time of restoration where
46:25
they didn't have what they need. But God, you were the one that
46:29
restored it. It wasn't the lepers you restored it. You just allowed the
46:32
lepos to be the one to see the manifestation of them. So, Father,
46:37
we can't take credit for nothing, because we didn't do nothing. All
46:40
we can say is God, thank you for doing it, and thank you
46:45
for letting us be part of the mission. Thank you for calling us to
46:47
mission. Father, every outcast and hear God in the name of Jesus.
46:52
We think we used to we used to hate being being called an outcaster.
46:54
But it's all right. I'm an outcast and I got a mission. I'm
46:58
an outcast and I got a mission. I'm part of a remnant. I'm
47:01
