The Unexpected - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Turn to the book of Acts and stand for the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: last time. You don't have to stand no more. You
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: can walk out of here if you need to. Just
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: so you can stay seated. But Acts chapter 3, verse
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: 1 through 10. Now Peter and John. Now Peter and John.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Not Peter or John. Peter and John. went up together
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ninth hour. And a certain man laying from his mother's womb,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: from his mother's womb, was carrying whom they laid daily
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to ask alms of them that entered into the temple.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, said, hey,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: give me some money. And Peter fastening his eyes upon him,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: John said, look on us. And he gave heed unto them,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: expecting to receive something, expecting, expecting to receive something of them.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Then Peter said, silver and gold have I none, but
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: such as I have.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Give I thee.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and walk. And he took him by the right hand
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and ankle
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: bones received strength. And he leaping up stood and walked
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: praising God. And all the people saw him walking and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: praising God. And they knew that it was he which
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sat for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And they were filled with wonder and amazement. Oh, they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just sung that last week about amazement. God's going to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: amaze you. And that which had happened unto him. Can
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you say amen? I was fascinated because a man expected
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to receive something. But what he got was not what
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he expected. And the Holy Spirit said to me to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: preach the unexpected. The unexpected. I don't know who this
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is for. I don't know what this is about. But
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: God said he's going to do the unexpected. It is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not going to be normal. It's not going to be ordinary.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be routine. God's going to do
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the unexpected. Maybe you're watching online and you just count
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: another Sunday because it's Sunday. But God said he's going
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to do the unexpected exceedingly abundantly above all you may
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: ask or think. That mind-blowing move of God. That disorienting
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: move of God. The kind of move of God that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: makes you have to change your plans to accommodate it
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because God's going to do the unexpected. That out-of-the-box kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of God. That rule-breaking God. That yoke-breaking God. That door-opening God.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Get ready for the unexpected. Do you hear what I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: talking to you about? Spirit of the living God, fall
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: fresh on us now as we open up the word
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of God.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: We are so grateful to you that you would speak
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to us at all.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Let the word speak in such a profound and didactic
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: way that we are altered and changed and even disrupted
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: by what you preach. Minister not just to me but
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: through me. Flow through me that I might deliver to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: your people that which you would have imparted unto them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I thank you in advance for what you're about to do.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I believe you for amazing things have your way, great
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: God that you are. I believe you for it in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You may be seated. Yeah. Time to go to work.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I must confess to you.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That these are troubling times. I don't care how much
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: faith you have and how much you pray, these are.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Troubling times.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You don't know from one moment to the other what's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: going to happen next. You can't count on people. They'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: say something and then do something completely different. And then
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: say they didn't say what you heard them say. You
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: got the tape of them saying it and they'll still
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: act like you're crazy and say, I didn't say that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They'll say that you didn't see what you saw even
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: though you saw it. And say it so long if
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you're not careful it'll make you wonder, did you see
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what you saw when you saw it? Because I have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: never seen so many people be absolute in being absolutely wrong.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It used to be that we had some absolutes. some
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: truth that we could build around, some areas that we
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: would not touch in order to gain momentum. Some areas
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: were sacred and untouchable, but now anything goes to get ahead.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: These are troubling times because we have hurricanes where we
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: used to have sunshine, tsunamis where we used to have beaches,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: These are troubling times because we have ice where we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: used to have heat and heat where we used to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: have ice. These are troubling times because the world we're
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: living in is so unpredictable that we had to leave
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: our water running last night and tomorrow it's going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be hot. I don't know what to wear. I feel
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like wearing a fur coat with shorts. I'm just totally
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: confused because I don't know what's going to happen next.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: All of the absolutes are being changed.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And even though we are citizens in our own country,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sometimes we feel like subordinates. Sometimes we feel second class.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we feel mistreated. Sometimes we feel unheard. It's not
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just a matter of race. but also status. It seems
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like if you have enough status, you can get by
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: with doing anything. You can be guilty and not go
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to jail if you got enough status. You can be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: innocent and go to jail.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: If you don't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And these are troubling times. I don't know what to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: teach our children to expect because I am unsure. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if I act like they didn't bother me at all,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I'd be lying to you. I want to confess to you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I have faith.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I believe God. I talk to God. But sometimes I'm troubled.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I lay down, I'm troubled. Sometimes when I get.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Up in the morning, I'm troubled.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I would be a lot more troubled if it were
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: not for the word of God. I confess to you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that I used to come to church just to come
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to church, but now the word of God is often
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: my therapy. It's my therapy. It's my detox zone. It's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: where I get my head together. It's where I chill out.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It's where I'm reminded that the world has been crazy before.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's where I'm reminded that the prophets of old worked
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: against adverse conditions and circumstances and still called fire down
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: from heaven. Still called water out of a rock. Still
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: entered into a city and turned the city upside down.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It's important to me to read that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And the more I go into the word of God,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it is more than reading Bible stories. I become more
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: fascinated about the circumstance in which the story occurred. In
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the text today, the circumstance that surrounds the story is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: as powerful as the story itself. This generation of Jews
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: have lost power in their own country. They're on their land,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: but they are not fully deputized and empowered to be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: able to function in their environment. They are oppressed by Rome.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Oppressed to a degree, not totally oppressed. Not like their
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: forefathers who were oppressed in Babylon, they're oppressed at home.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Now it's one thing to be oppressed in a strange country,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and it's another thing to be oppressed.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: In your own house.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: To be on your own turf in a familiar environment
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and not be empowered in your own situation. Such were
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the times that they had to come to the Roman
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: government and say mother may I before they did anything
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: because they were not in control in the same territory
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that they owned. They were a colony of Rome. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this colonization, this notion of colonization had caused them to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: be kind of padded apart. on the head Rome said
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to control all the money but you can
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: still have church it's almost as if church became worship
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: became a pacifier while Rome took control And it had
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: been that way such a long time that you couldn't
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: tell where the government ended and the church began. Sounds
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a lot like today. In fact, they called it Herod's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Temple at one point. When did Herod get to have
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a temple? And now Herod is making money.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Off the temple. The reason Jesus turned.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Over the tables wasn't because they were selling cakes in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the back of the church. The reason Jesus turned over
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the tables is because Herod had brought his hand into
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: God's house and was making money off of people who
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: just wanted to worship him. It was nothing wrong to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bring an offering, but Herod was taxing them on their giving.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And when Jesus saw what government had done.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: To church, he turned the tables upside down. And I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: think today if he were to come.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: In and see what's going on in the church world today,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that it'd be some tables flipped over in the floor.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Because we have confused the gospel with our perspectives today.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And now if you don't agree with me, you're going
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to hell. And you don't even need a Bible verse
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to send me. All you need is an opinion. Colonization
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: can be a damnable thing. That's why our country was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: founded resisting it. It started out not to be states,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: not to be its own government. It started out to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: be 13 colonies. who rose up and protested against Great
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Britain and said, we refuse to be an outpost of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: another country's government. And fighting and fighting and fighting back
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: until finally in 1776, they won their independence. We didn't
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: have ours yet, but they had theirs. I'm just telling
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it like it is. The Jews at this point wanted
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: their independence. Even those who followed Jesus did not just
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: follow Jesus so he could perform miracles and do tricks
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like a magician.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: They had an underlying motive.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: When will you restore the kingdom really meant when are
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you going to give.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Us back control of our own land?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: The coming of the Messiah and the calling of him,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the king of the Jews, gave them hope that they
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: would stop to be a colony of Rome and that
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: he was strong enough to fight back. But he didn't.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He died. They beat him half to death. Rome did.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And the Lord of glory died. And how do you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: preach a powerful message? when the one you're preaching about
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: got beat to death.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And died.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Thomas said, I'm through with it. And you blame Thomas
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and you talk to him about it, but I'm not
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: too hard on Thomas. Because there are things, there is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a hurt that can hurt so bad that shakes you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: down to your toes and you don't even want to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: be in anything that reminds you of that kind of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: pain again. Maybe you haven't lived long enough to have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that kind of pain. But there is a pain that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: becomes so tough that you don't even want certain pictures
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in your house. There is a pain that becomes so
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: tough that you'll blot the face off of the media.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You don't want them to pop up on Facebook. You
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: don't want them to come up on Instagram. There is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a pain that becomes so tough that you don't want
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: any sign of it again. And Thomas said, unless I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: feel the nail prints in his hand and where I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: pierced him in the side, I will not believe it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And Jesus showed up because he understood Thomas' disappointment. Judas
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: hung himself. Peter went to cussing. Everything was coming apart.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: All hell was breaking loose. And still he rose. Still
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he rose. He had come into his own and his
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: own had received him not. He had stood on the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Mount of Olives and weeped over Jerusalem and said, Oh, Jerusalem.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: One of the few times that Jesus cried, incidentally. Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: how oft.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Would I have gathered you as a hen does her chicks,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: but ye, ye, my brethren, would not, would not. We're
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: getting ready to celebrate the MLK Day, and it's a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: wonderful thing. But a lot of people who are celebrating
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: him in death did not respect him in life. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about white folks either. It was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: some black folks that didn't accept him in life. He
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was controversial in life. It's amazing how after you die,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: everybody names stuff after you. Jesus has now died and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: rose from the dead, but he only showed himself alive
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to believers. And after showing himself alive for 40 days
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: with many infallible.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Proofs, he stepped on a cloud and.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Ascended into the heaven and left them looking up at
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: him as their dreams went up in the air. Ye
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: men of Galilee, the angels said, why stand ye here
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: gazing at me? This same Jesus that you see us
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: in shall descend in like manner.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Go and preach the gospel.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You shall receive power, Acts 1 and 8, after that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost has come upon you. And you shall
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be witnesses, not power to dance. Not power to beat
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the tambourine. Not power to start your own choir. Not
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: power to make a name for your ministry. You shall
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: be witnesses unto me.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Witnesses.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You don't need a witness unless you're on trial. You
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: shall be witnesses unto me. I'm gone and I'm still
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: on trial. I'm going to be controversial even after I'm gone.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You shall be witnesses unto me. In Jerusalem and Judea,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth. You
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: shall be witnesses unto me. And so what we see
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: here is Peter and John coming up in a last
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: ditch attempt to give Jerusalem a final chance to recognize
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus as Messiah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus was through with it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: He said not one stone will be left standing upon another.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I'm done with you. I'm out of here.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Peter and John are coming to the synagogue at the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: hour of prayer. Peter and John is not just anybody.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: They are part of Jesus' inner circle. There are a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: few things that Jesus did that Peter and John and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: James were not at. They were there at the Mount
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of Transfigurations. They were there in the garden of Gethsemane.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: They were Jesus' inner circle. Sometimes you can't take everybody
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with you. Oh, that's worth writing down right there. Sometimes
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you can't take everybody with you. When you know who
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you are, you have to have an inner circle that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: kind of insulates you from outside influences. Peter and John
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: were the cream of the crop. These are not just anybody.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: This is not Bartholomew or somebody. This is not Matthew
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: or somebody. This is Jesus' choice servants coming to the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: synagogue at our prayer. Now, they are not coming to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the synagogue because they agree with the synagogue. The synagogue
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: has rejected Jesus. They are apostles of Jesus. So it
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: is the clashing of kingdoms that they would have the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: audacity to come to the synagogue to preach what the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: synagogue thought was a cult. So they did not expect
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a warm welcome. They did not expect that. And the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: synagogue did not necessarily expect that they would have the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: audacious attitude to be able to walk up into their
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: assembly to preach something contrary to what they believed. And
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they did not expect to run into the lame man
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: at the gate. And the lame man who had been
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: laid daily at the gate.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Did not expect to run into them.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So everything that happens in this story is.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Unexpected.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: If you would have told the synagogue that Peter and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: John were coming, they would be shocked.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: They would not listen. for them.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: If you would have told Peter and John that they
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: would stop outside at the gate called Beautiful and expend
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: their anointing on a no-name beggar who had been laid
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: daily at the gate from his mother's womb, they did
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: not expect it. There was no appointment on their date
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: book for this to happen. Oh, y'all don't hear what
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But God in his sovereign ability to orchestrate
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the affairs of men sets appointments and don't necessarily tell
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you that it's an appointment. You just walk into it
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and it happens to you. And once you're in it,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you begin to recognize this is a divine setup. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: didn't know that meeting you was going to change my life.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that meeting you would change the trajectory
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of how I see myself. I didn't know that I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: would have the kind of encounter having met you that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: would disrupt how I define myself.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: But such is the text.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Because the lame man was used to being the lame man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: What do you do when you are referred.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: To As a lame man. What do you do when
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you are referred to as a drug addict? What do
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you do when you are referred to as a cheater
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and a whoremonger? What do you do when what you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: do becomes bigger than who you are?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Until somebody can name your weakness and everybody in the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: room know who they talking about.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: This is the lame man. Everybody knew it.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: The people in the temple said, we know that's the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: lame man who's begging at the gate. They didn't say
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that's Fred Wilson. That's Charlie Johnson. That's Michael Freddie. No,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: they didn't call his name. They called his condition because
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the condition had defined.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Who he was. Have you ever.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Had a condition? that defined who you were, that had
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: swallowed up your name, that everybody referred to you, whether
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: in your face or behind your back, by what you do,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: not who you are.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Such is the case.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: With the lame man. He is not lame in many ways.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Even though he has spent his whole life begging, his
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: hands were not broken. He had no problem stretching forth
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: his hand. There was nothing wrong with his brain. He
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: was not blind like Bartimaeus. His spine was not twisted.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: He was not sick with palsy. He was not paralyzed.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, 90% of his body was functional. It was
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: just his ankles and feet. Isn't it funny how one thing...
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I know y'all don't know what I'm talking about. So
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: sitting there looking real confused, won't nobody know that you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: got a thing that affects every other thing in your life,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: whether it's a mouth or a temper or a doubt
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: or an attitude or a disorder. One thing that you
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: know about yourself that limits your movement, your activity, your growth,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: your opportunity that stops you, that brings you to your knees.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And in spite of everything else, 90% being strong and healthy,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: 10% can take you down. One thing being broken in
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: your life can take you down. That's why it's not
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: good to turn up your nose and start talking about people.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Because everybody got something that don't work right. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a preacher today. Everybody got something that don't work right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It might not be obvious. It might be covered. It
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: might be camouflaged. It might be camouflaged by the accruements
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of your success or your accolades or your degrees or
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: your finances or your beauty until people don't notice that
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you're beautiful, but you're just a little bit crazy. That
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you can quote all of the Bible but you have
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: trouble living. Certain part, it was just his ankles. But
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: his ankles had shut down everything. He might as well
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: be paralyzed all.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Over his body. Because this one part didn't work.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you are honest enough to admit that something.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Don't work right.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I'm good at speaking in front of people, but I'm
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: bad at handling money. I'm great at handling money, but
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I can't stand to be around people. Everybody has something
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in their life that affects everything else because life keeps
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: asking you to function in the way that you don't function.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: What happens when you have to function in a way
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that you don't function? you create a way of coping
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: with what you can't correct. And so what we see
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: in the first sentences of this text is this man
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: has set in place a coping mechanism that is built
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: around his dysfunction. Blind people do it. Moving furniture around
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to fit blind people. Handicapped people do it. Putting bars
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom so that you can move from the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: wheelchair and move over to the seat. Everybody has a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: way of making adjustments in their life to accommodate their deficiencies.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Little ways of doing things. I knew when I got
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: married that I could not safely marry a mouthy woman.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So every mouthy woman that dated me, I said, not her.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Not her, because I don't want to be locked up
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: with Bobo, not her. You got to know what don't
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: work right in you. I'm not against mouthy women, it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: just not for me. Because that's a trigger for me.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: You get up in my face, shaking your neck. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the district attorney going to have to come get me.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I just, you got to know what doesn't work.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: For you.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want no dumb woman who can't think and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: can't help. I want you to be strong. I want
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you to have your opinion. But I don't want you
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: up in my face breaking glasses and stuff. Because I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: might forget. I'm just telling, I'm confessing my ankles. I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: going to show my ankles today. I might forget. I
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: might forget. I'm telling you, don't do that. I might forget.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. You don't set yourself in situations
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that you know are too big for you. That you
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: know you can't handle. You don't knowingly send a cookie
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: monster to work at the cookie factory. And then be
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: shocked because he ate up the cookie. You knew I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: was a cookie monster when you hired me. You don't
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: hire a child molester to work in pediatrics. When you
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: know that something doesn't work in your life, you make
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: certain adjustments.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: To accommodate your issues.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: So that you can be in an atmosphere where at
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: least you can survive. This man has never walked.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: He is not a person who used to walk. He
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: has no memory of standing up.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: He has no mental cognitive memory of standing up. His
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: muscles have no memory of standing up. His nerve endings
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: have no memory of standing up. Whether you know it
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: or not, your body has a memory. If you work
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: out all the time and you quit for a while
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and go back to working out, it doesn't take long
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: for your body to say, oh, we're doing that again.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And it starts giving you the strength to do what.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: You used to do.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: It has a memory. His legs have no memory of
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: ever walking. He has been lame. He came out of
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: his mama's belly with his ankles full. And so he
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: has devised a system. And the system has caused him
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to surround himself, number one, with enablers. Enablers are the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: people who carried him every day to the same place.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The enablers were the people that you select in your
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: life that support you in your crippleness. They make it
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: convenient for you not to do better. I'm going to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: mess with you now. Enablers are the sugar daddies.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Or mamas.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Of lazy people who could work, but enablers are the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: people that make it convenient for you not to have
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to believe God for better. Somebody shout better. You'll never
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: get better as long as somebody is carrying you. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: would respect him better if they said he crawled to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the gate. Seeing as his knees worked and his hands worked,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: he could have crawled to the gate. But no, he
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: has this group of people who carry him to the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: same place. And in some ways, they are as crippled
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: as he is. Because there are people that don't want
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you to get better. Because if you got better, they
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have a job. I'm going to mess with you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit. There are people who make a living
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: off of your dysfunction and they're counting on you to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: be lonely and they're counting on you to be desperate
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and they're counting on you to call them at 2
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning and they're counting on you to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: need them in that way or they lose importance. He
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: was laid daily, carried. Ain't nothing wrong you can't move.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: He was carried daily to the same place. You know
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you got enablers when they keep taking you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: To the same place.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: The names might change to protect the innocent, but they
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: keep carrying you to the same. If you own your
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: third husband and all of them beat you, You got
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: to stop saying what's wrong with them and look in
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the mirror and say, hey, what's wrong with me that
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I keep attracting this same type of person and allow
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: them to....
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all ain't going to help me preach today. That's okay.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Their job was to lay him at the gate called beautiful.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Never anywhere else. They never took him all of his life.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: He has been laid in a conspicuous place where the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: righteous would walk past him and feel sorry for him.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: He is living off of the benevolence of people who care.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: He has to be in close proximity to compassionate people
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to work them. It is the same reason homeless people
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: hang out outside of restaurants. Because they know you just
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: ate a five-star meal and you come out and run
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: into them. They know you're more apt to feel guilty.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: That ain't no mistake. That ain't no accident. They're not
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: hanging around at the shelter. They're hanging out at the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: places where you eat so that you could belch and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: feel bad and reach for your wallet. And they got
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: to do what they got to do. But some of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: us are beggars without caring signs. And we hang out
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: around certain types of people because we know they are
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: compassionate enough to carry us. And we don't have to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: use what we do have that's working. Because they are
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: so compassionate, we can just be helpless. I just can't
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: do it. I just can't get up. I just can't
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: stand up. I just can't go to school. I just
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: can't take it. I'm just not that kind of person.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: You want to eat?
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Certain men laid him daily at the gate called beautiful.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: These are the people that you design in your life
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to create an ecosystem of dysfunction.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Not one of them on any day challenged.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Him to get up. Everybody carried him. Nobody pulled him.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Nobody took him by the hand and yanked him and
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: commanded him to walk. Everybody around him made allowances for
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: his deficiencies. Excuses for it. Oh, mama, you just don't
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: understand him. He's really a nice guy. I know he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: don't work a job, but he's a wonderful person. We
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: make excuses for the dysfunctions we choose to keep. Oh,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I'm stepping on toes. I can tell I'm stepping on
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: toes because when I get right in the middle of
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: your toe, you get quiet. I know he's 35 and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: still living with me, but one day he gonna take
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: off and fly like a bird. He don't buy groceries.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He don't pay rent. He don't help. Are you an enabler?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Ooh, got quiet. I'm going to ask you all online.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I can't hear you, but type something online. Are you
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: an enabler? Have you told.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yourself a story to justify somebody's dysfunction, never challenging them
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to do what they've never done because they've never done
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: it before? You cease to expect it. The death of
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: expectation limits productivity. When I give up on you doing
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: better and I make adjustments for you and I go
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: ahead and build you a room and give you a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: key so you can come in the basement and feel
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like you've grown while I pay the bills, I have
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: set up a system that does not allow you to evolve.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: And from his mother's womb.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: To this present moment, this man has gone through the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: same routines. The vicious cycle of needing somebody to help you.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: The vicious cycle of using people as a profession. The
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: vicious cycle of getting over. The vicious cycle of putting
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: your weight on me. Hey, excuse me, I already got
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to carry me. Now I got to carry me and you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: It's not fair for me to have to carry me.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: And you.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And you don't feel bothered by me carrying you? This
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: is the way it's supposed to be? And this happens
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: every day? I don't get a weekend off? I don't
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: get the holidays? Hey, it's MLK Day Monday. Can I
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: not go Monday? Is there any day I don't have
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to carry you? Could you do something to add value?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Could you paint the porch? Could you take out the trash?
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Could you clean out the refrigerator? Could you do something
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to add value in my life? Must you always think
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that I am the National Bank of Commerce?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: There are certain people.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: That have set up a system of dysfunction and some
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: of you have a loving heart and you keep trying
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: to help them and you keep believing that they're going
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to get better and they are taking advantage of your compassion.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: And this is a hard cycle to break.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Because the cycle is a system and the system is
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a circle. And every day I pick you up, you
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: know where we're going. And every day I get you
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: an evening, you know where we're going. Because we've been
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in a cycle for years and neither of us expects
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it to change. It is into this environment Peter and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: John come. But I believe that the picture of the
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: lame man is a picture of the synagogue. Because, can
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I take my time with this? The synagogue has been
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: functioning for years with an outer court and an inner court.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: but no glory in the holies of holies they were
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: just missing a little bit but they had learned how
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to function without the glory and the synagogue was just.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: As lame oh y'all don't want to hear me.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: The synagogue was just as lame in its religiosity as
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the lame man at the gate called beautiful. So we
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: got a lame man in front of a lame church.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And he fits into this lameness. Because how can a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: lame church say anything about a lame man? Both of
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: them have something that doesn't work. And into this lame condition,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Peter and John now come. The problem with Peter and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: John is that they are not enablers. They are evangelists.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Evangelists are not enablers. Because true evangelists, we don't have
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: many anymore. Most of you have never seen a true evangelist.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: You see speakers who speak multiple days. But a true
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: evangelist is a disruptor. A true evangelist will turn the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: church inside out. A true evangelist is not an evangelist
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: because they hoop. They're not an evangelist because they raise money.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: They're an evangelist because they carry you somewhere you've never
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: been before and ask you to do something you've never
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: done before. And people get healed and people get delivered
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and people get saved and people get set free. And
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: a true evangelist is not like a Sunday morning service
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: held on a Thursday night. A true evangelist disrupts things,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: changes lives. Marriages are reconciled. People are getting breakthroughs. People
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: are getting delivered. People are getting help. I have to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: describe it to you because you can't find it anymore.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: You got these gumslingers with Bibles who will work for money.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: But a true evangelist will come in and disrupt things.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Peter and John.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Came up to the temple at the hour of prayer
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: and they run into this man. They haven't even got
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: in the church. They came to disrupt the synagogue. But
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: before they could get to the synagogue to disrupt the synagogue,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: they now have to disrupt this man who is a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: picture of the synagogue. They're just standing on either side
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: of the gate. Lame on this side, lame on this side.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: They can't get to the lameness over here for the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: lameness over here. Can I go deeper? I know this
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: is a familiar text, but I'm going to drain it dry.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pull on it. I'm going to yank
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: on it. I'm going to squeeze it and I'm going
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to squash it. I'm going to squeeze it until it
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: fits your situation. I'm going to squeeze it until God
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: talks to you. I'm going to squeeze it until the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit arrests you. I'm going to squeeze it until
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: God says to you, you can't have another year if
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to keep on having.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Folk carry you to the same place.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: In order to have a new year, you have to
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: have a disruptive experience that asks you to do something
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that you have settled in your mind that you cannot do.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Peter and John come up in our prayer.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says that the lame man, here comes
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: this word, looked on them expecting something. To receive something.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: But what he was expecting fit into the cycle of
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: what he called normal. I want to spend a minute
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: talking about the enemy of normal. Normal is an enemy.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Every believer should flee from normal. Because if you walk
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: with God, your life should not be normal. When you
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: walk with God, you should not be ordinary. When you
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: walk with God, you're not supposed to fit in the clique.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God, you ought not be like
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: everybody else. When you walk with God, every day is
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: a new day. When you walk with God, he does
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: amazing stuff. When you walk with God, he opens doors unexpectedly.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God, he lets you meet people
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you never thought you would meet. When you walk with God,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: he puts you in situations that you weren't even qualified.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: But God has ordered your steps in such a way
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: that every day is exciting. When you walk with God,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: there's a spirit of gratitude that comes into your life
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: because your life is not normal and it is not routine.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God, God will always do the unexpected.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Can I go deeper?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I have all kind of journalists that ask me, I
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: want to follow you around a day so I can
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: see what life is like for T.D. Jakes in a
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: normal day. I said, you can forget it. I have
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: never had a normal day. Every day is different from
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: the other day. I don't have any day that looks
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: like the day I had before. One day I'm in Africa.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: The other day I'm making Oxdale. One day I'm in Washington.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: The next day I'm in New York. One day I'm
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: at a business meeting. The next day I'm laying hands
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: on the devil. One day I'm at the hospital. One
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: day I'm at the morgue. I don't have a typical day.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Because when you walk with Jesus, he does the unexpected.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there's anybody in here who's spiritual enough
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: to have walked in the unexpected. You can't put me
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: in a box. You can't put me in a box.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: You can't give me a title and tell me that's
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: what I am. You can't expect me to always dress
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: the same, look the same, and act the same. Because
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I have an unexpected God. I'm just like my daddy.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: One day I'm in jeans. One day I'm in a suit.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: One day I'm in shorts.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: One day I'm in coveralls.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: You can't expect me to fit into your routine, deadbeat, ordinary, lifeless, religious,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: philosophical ideology because I serve a God who hates religion.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: He likes relationship. He does the unexpected. He does the impossible.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: He speaks to mountains and tell them to go into
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the sea. He comes to his disciples walking on water.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: He stops funerals and raises up the dead. He goes
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to weddings and turns water into wine. I I serve
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: a God who's able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: ye may ask or think. Have you met my God?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Have you met my God? He sleeps in the middle
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: of a storm. He casts demons out of legion. Have
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: you met my God? He pays taxes out of the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: fish's mouth. Have you met my God? He refuses to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: die on the whipping post. have you met my God
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: he prays for the people who crucified him have you
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: met my God he rolls his own stone away he
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: gets up out of the grave he walks in the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: garden alive again have you.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Met my God.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Type on the line, the unexpected, the unexpected, the unexpected,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the unexpected to the unexpected.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Type it as fast as you can. And I came to.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Tell you that 2022 is going to be your year
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: for the unexpected.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: This is going to be the year that the cycle breaks.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year that God releases
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you from enablers and brings you to evangelists. This is
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: going to be the year that you get strength in
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: places you never had it before. This is going to
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: be the year that you leap over obstacles. This is
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: going to be the year that you step over mountains.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year that the tail
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: becomes the head. This is going to be the year
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that the head becomes the tail. This is going to
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: be the year of the unexpected. 2022 is my year
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: for the unexpected. Don't look for me where you left me.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Don't look for me where you laid me down. Don't
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: expect me to be where you dropped me off. Because
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to bust a move up in here.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to step somewhere I've never stepped before.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Somebody give him 15 seconds of crazy.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was cute. That was cute. Thank you.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: But that's not the kind of praise I want. I
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: expected that kind of praise. I want that jaw-dropping praise,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that unexpected praise, that excited praise, that revolutionary praise, that
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: praise that says, I'm not through living my life. I've
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: got something else to do. I've got something else to build.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I've got something else to fight. I want somebody with
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: an unexpected plan. Open up your mouth and give God
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: an unexpected plan. Run over and fist bump somebody and
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: tell them I'm going to do the unexpected. Don't expect
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: me to be expected. Don't expect me to be normal.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Don't expect me to be where you left me. Don't
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: expect me to fit in the circle. I will not
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: stay where you leave me. I will not stay where
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: you drop me off.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: I will not.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Stay in the condition I was in. I will not
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: stay there. I will not stay there. I will not
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: stay there. I will not stay there. I refuse to
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: have another year like last year.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Something is gonna move this year.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Something is gonna change this year.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Something is gonna open up this year.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Open your mouth and give God the glory.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to mess things up. I'm getting ready
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: to break the routine. I'm getting ready to get out
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: of character. I'm getting ready to do the impossible. I'm
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: getting ready to do something to write about. You're going
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: to have to write about this because you ain't never
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: seen me do this before. I'm getting ready to break
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: some rules. I'm getting ready to get out of line.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to get out of the way. I'm
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: getting ready to not need you to carry me like
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I needed you to carry me. Because I'm getting ready
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: to get independent. I'm getting ready to stand on my own.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to flow in a brand new zone.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to loan and not borrow. Y'all don't
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: hear what I'm saying. I'm getting ready to build a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: second home. I'm getting ready to start a franchise. I'm
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: getting ready to open up another business. I'm getting ready
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to become an investor. Yes, the one who was on welfare. Yes,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the one who was on food stamps. Yes, the one
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: that they overlooked. Yes, the one they said would never
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: be anybody. I'm getting ready to get up from here.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Don't be looking at me for me to be where
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you dropped me.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I will arise.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Maya Angelou said, and still I rise. And still I rise.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: And still I rise. And still I rise. I lost
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: my job. And still I rise. I lost my friends.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: And still I rise. I lost my situation. And still
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I rise. I will arise. Somebody help me praise him.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I don't need everybody. I just need five people that
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: will help me praise him for the unexpected. the extraordinary,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: the exceptional, the unusual, the magnificent, the magnificent, the magnificent,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: the awesome, the spectacular power of God, the power of God,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the power of God, the power of God. So let
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: me see, let me see, let me see. Let me see,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: let me see. We had the enablers. We had the evangelists.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I want to deal with number three, the expectation. He
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: just expected to receive something. That's like mailing a letter
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: without putting an address on the envelope. Lord, just give
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: me some. Just bless me.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: That's stupid.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: You already blessed. Why you keep asking God to bless you?
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: You already blessed. Bless you how? Bless you in what way?
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Bless you in what state? Bless you in what area?
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: You need to be specific with God. They expected to receive.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: He expected to receive something. And what he meant was,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: give me some money. Help me stay crippled. How many
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: friends do you have in your life that are helping
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: you stay crippled? John said, boy, I feel like preaching. Oh, yeah.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: John said, look on us. We don't look like your enablers.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: We are not the same kind of men. We're not
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the people in the synagogue. Look on us so that
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: you can see that you're standing in front of exposure.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: God has exposed you to somebody who's got the power
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: to change your life. Is there anybody in here? that's
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: ever been exposed to somebody that's changed your life. If
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: you're in here, give witness. Now, I'm getting ready to
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: get in your business. You have only... gotten in your
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: life on the level that you expected oh you talking
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: again but really all he expected was alms the Bible
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: said he expected to receive something but all he expected
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: was alms because that's all he had asked for all
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: his life And when all you expect is a certain thing,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: that's all you get. And he would have got some
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: more of what he expected if it had not been. See,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: John told him to look on us. Peter told him,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: silver and gold.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Have I none?
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: give I unto thee. See, you got to have somebody
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: who knows what they got.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Such as I have, give I thee.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: That's all you're going to get from me is what
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Such as I have, give I thee.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, Christ of leather, rise up
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: and walk free. I speak to somebody watching online, and
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: you've been laying there long enough. You've been crying long enough.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: You've been depressed long enough. You've made excuses long enough.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Up and walk.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Somebody rise up and take a little walk somewhere. Just
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: walk anywhere. Anywhere but where you were. Anywhere but where
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: you were. Anywhere but what you were. This is your
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: year to move. This is your year to move out.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: This is your year to take over new territory. This
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: is your year to show up in unexpected places. Anywhere
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: but where you were. I'm going to sit somewhere, but
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I won't sit where I'm at. I'm going to stand somewhere,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm not going to stand where I've been standing
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: all my life.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to move somewhere.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, Christ of Nazareth, rise up
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: and walk.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: And Jackie, they heard the word.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: But even after hearing the word, he still didn't walk.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: But Peter was too. radical to be defeated. So he
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: took him by the hand and he snatched him up.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: This is our year. to snatch up people. They've heard
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: our sermons, but this is a snatching year.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: If you don't snatch it, it's.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Not going to work. I don't know who I'm preaching to,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: but God said, snatch it up, snatch it up. They've
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: heard your sermon. Now snatch it up. You've been fussing
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: about it. Now snatch it up. He took him by
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: the right hand and he snatched him up and the
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Bible says immediately, immediately, not gradually, but immediately. Amen. I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: got enough doctors in this church to tell you that's
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: inconceivable for a person who has never walked. That's inconceivable
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: for somebody who's been in a coma. If you've been
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: laying in the bed long enough, you would need therapy.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: But God said....
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Number four, he's going to do the extraordinary. What took
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: somebody months to overcome? What took somebody therapy to overcome?
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: You already lost enough time. You don't have.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Time to wait. Oh God, I feel like preaching.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: You don't have time to wait on therapy. God said,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do a quick work. So the Bible said... Immediately,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: his ankles and his feet received strength and the man
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: stood up and started walking and leaping and praising God.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Somebody praise God like you lost your mind. Pray them
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: like you lost your mind Pray them like you lost
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: your mind Pray them like you lost your mind Pray
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: them like you lost your mind Pray them like you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: lost your mind In order to break the cycle, in
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: order to break the cycle, you're going to have to
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: be obedient.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you one more chance.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: And God's going to bless you on the level of
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: your obedience.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Pray them like you lost your mind. I tell you,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I tell you, I tell you, I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: tell you.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Out of character, out of routine. Crazy, crazy.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: Get beside yourself, get beside yourself, get beside yourself, get

  Speaker 1: Y'all don't hear what I'm talking about. Everything in your
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: life is about to change in a dynamic way. God
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: is going to use somebody with the spirit of an evangelist.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: They may not even have the title of an evangelist,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: but an evangelist is anybody who leaves you better than
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: you were before. It might be a wife, it might
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: be a husband, it might be a friend, it might
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: be a cousin, it might be a co-worker. But God
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: is going to send somebody that's anointed to get you
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: out of your routine. Oh God, I got to quit preaching.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Because the more I preach, the more I feel like preaching.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: And the more I feel like preaching, the more yokes
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: are breaking. They're breaking in the balcony. They're breaking in
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: the back of the church. Because the spirit of evangelism
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: is in this place. And it's my job to preach
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: till you're better than you were when you came. Somebody say,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: I got to get to bedder. I gotta get to better.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I gotta get to better. I gotta get to better.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I gotta get to better. I gotta get to better.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta get to better. I gotta get to better.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Anybody else who has never walked would have to have therapy.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: They would have to teach their muscles how to agree
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: with their nervous systems. so that the bones would be
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: strong enough to coordinate the language between the skeletal system
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: and the nerve system connected with the muscle system. All
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: have to walk in agreement in order for you to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: be able to walk. This is a motion you've never
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: made before.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Your ankle... had never moved before.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Anybody else would start off in a chair doing alphabets
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: with their toes, trying to get their ankle built up
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: strong enough to be able to bear the weight of
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: their whole body. But because of Jesus. Because of Jesus.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Because of Jesus. You're going to go from bad credit
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: to great credit. You're going to go from renting to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: home ownership. You're going to go from being quiet to
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: being a powerful preacher. And it ain't going to take
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: a long time. Somebody holler immediately.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Immediately. Immediately.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Immediately, the yoke will be broken. Immediately, the yoke will
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: be destroyed. You better come get me immediately.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Let me stop this. In the Lord's shadow.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: God said he sent this message to wake you up
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: because the enemy wants to lull you back to sleep
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: until Monday looks like Tuesday. And Tuesday looks like Wednesday.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: And Wednesday looks like Thursday. But I prophesy disruption. I

  Speaker 2: A normative.

• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: to have. The devil is alive. The demons want you
