1:02
what a presence. What an atmosphere. What a moment.
1:09
What a moment to see WavePoint turn seven. Look
1:20
at what the Lord has done. Can you think back
1:25
where you were seven years ago? Can you count
1:29
all the blessings and the breakthroughs and the
1:33
answered prayers and the moments you needed God?
1:37
You came into the place and worship it was that
1:39
one song that changed everything it was that
1:42
one word that flipped everything it was that
1:45
one hello that just allowed you to believe that
1:49
he still loves it was just that one moment is
1:52
there anybody here that understands what one
1:54
moment come on man look at what the lord has
1:58

2:02
so i pray today that you would never forget and
2:07
that you and i would never forget what the lord
2:09
has done well i want to honor my friend and his
2:12
beautiful family pastor cj In his absence and
2:15
I want to celebrate what God has done in your
2:17
lives I want to celebrate. Oh, I feel the anointing
2:22
When I do that, I'm about to cry but so I'll
2:24
just quench it up real quickly And We celebrate
2:31
because I remember there was a day that I met
2:33
CJ in Cape Town And what many of you might not
2:37
know Was that what that moment was a transition
2:40
moment? It was a moment. He was walking and we
2:44
were talking and he was telling me about the
2:47
things that god has said to him and he had said
2:50
to me be but nobody believes a vision or a word
2:59
he said but be i'm going to jay bay it's because
3:04
i heard god i'm going to jay bay man i thank
3:07
god he came to jay bay man i thank god he came
3:13
Because if he didn't come they wouldn't have
3:14
been a wave point and I would not have seen all
3:17
your beautiful faces in different colors sizes
3:20
and shapes But look at what the Lord has done
3:23
and that's why I Got a bit emotional because
3:27
I remember what he was carrying When you carry
3:33
a word from God and you just got your wife and
3:36
your two kids and they were young They were young
3:40
they were Eight or nine or day round when he
3:44
spoke to me Ten how old you now? Yeah? 19 how
3:50
about Could it be about ten years ago? We walked
3:55
at Century City And he he just had a word and
3:58
I want to say this to you Celebrate your pastors
4:05
They are selfless They are Hear me They're not
4:15
even for gain for the applause and So I want
4:20
to honor you guys want to celebrate seven years.
4:22
I trust that God will give me and allow us to
4:25
experience that grace To experience seven years
4:29
in the ministry. Amen. Love you guys. Love you,
4:31
Amber Sometimes we must be sensitive enough to
4:41
the present. Oh man. Look at somebody next to
4:47
you, tell them there's something so divine in
4:49
you. Tell that neighbor of yours, say there's
4:54
something so divine in you. And so this morning
5:02
it's an honor to be here. Seven years. Seven
5:11
years, this is not just time passed. It's faith
5:15
proven. That is obedience sustained, it is seed
5:21
sowed in seasons seen and unseen. For all of
5:26
you who've been here, you've come now recently
5:28
or you've been here for four years or three years,
5:30
you're part of the story. And God saw it fit
5:34
not to exclude you and your family. God saw it
5:38
fit not to have you left out. But for you to
5:40
be a part of what God is about to do in this
5:43
city and in possibly every coastal town Because
5:51
I know that God is about to release away from
5:53
Jeffrey's Bay And I'm not here to say that the
5:58
tide is rising no I've titled the sermon the
6:01
tide has risen And so seven speaks of completion,
6:11
seven speaks of maturity, seven speaks of cycles
6:13
fulfilled, a new season initiated. The interesting
6:17
thing I love about Jesus is that it doesn't matter
6:20
where you came in, you still get to partake.
6:24
It doesn't matter if you were here at year one,
6:26
or you came in year seven, or you came in here
6:29
today. That seven years of completion is still
6:32
your portion as well. You say, prove it to me
6:36
in the word of God, there was a... There was
6:39
a parable that Jesus told about workers that
6:41
started early and workers that started late.
6:44
And they got paid the same wages as the worker
6:46
that started early. And it wasn't about when
6:50
you started, it was about your yes. It was about
6:54
that you were willing enough to say yes to Jesus.
6:56
And so here's what I want to say to you, that
6:58
the seven years, it's not a wave point thing,
7:01
it's a your thing. You need to hear what I'm
7:04
saying. Because wave point is not the building.
7:07
Wave point is not the name, wave point is the
7:10
people. My God, you need to hear me for a moment.
7:14
In other words, this wave that we are talking
7:16
about is not a wave that's coming from the ocean.
7:19
I know you have the best waves for all the best
7:21
surfers in the world, but I'm not speaking about
7:23
that wave, I'm speaking about a God wave. And
7:25
here's the crazy thing, that when that wave breaks,
7:28
it's going to break because of you. And so so
7:33
easily we can think wave point is a thing a name
7:35
or building no You've been Pulled from different
7:41
walks of life in different places and come and
7:44
put together so that they can be enough force
7:47
my god That has caused the tide to rise The other
7:55
day I took a run while I was taking a run Saw
7:59
I don't know. I don't even know if he's in this
8:01
church. Maybe easy. I don't know I don't know
8:02
who he's I don't know what he looks like I just
8:04
saw his bucky door open and I saw this is how
8:06
I fight my battles at 6 30 a .m. In the morning,
8:10
but he worshipping the Lord at that ocean at
8:12
that beach over there and I Immediately, I thought
8:14
wow God You're telling me revival is already
8:18
here Are you didn't hear it? I said revival is
8:23
already here And so today we're not celebrating
8:30
what has been. We are standing at the threshold
8:33
of what is now. I'll say it again. We are not
8:36
celebrating what has been. We are standing at
8:38
the threshold of what is now. Look at your neighbor
8:41
and say what is now. And so if you will go with
8:47
me to Ezekiel 47 verse 3 to verse 5. I want to
8:50
show you something real quickly. This is Ezekiel
8:54
and he sees a vision coming from the throne room
8:56
of God and there's a river flowing. And when
9:01
the man went out and I first have to do this,
9:03
I have my beautiful wife with me, my God, oh
9:06
Jesus. I just rebuked myself real quickly. Can
9:10
you please celebrate my beautiful wife over here?
9:14
And this is my newborn baby, Asher Jude. And
9:17
this is my eldest son, Zach. And my youngest
9:20
one is running around owning the space. Amen.
9:24
And don't show him your keys, he'll say, let's
9:26
go. Amen. And so I have the privilege of having
9:32
them with me in ministry. And I don't want to
9:35
overlook that moment because it takes families
9:38
to build what God wants in the earth. Amen. And
9:43
so thank you my love for coming with me and bringing
9:46
Asher with me. Both my sons were calm. My eldest
9:54
two, this one is Jesus. I need a lot of grace.
10:02
He's sleeping now. We praise the Lord. Amen.
10:07
And so this is Ezekiel and he sees a vision of
10:11
a river flowing from the throne. Look what he
10:13
says, and when the man went out to the east,
10:15
the line in his hand, with a line in his hand,
10:17
he measured 1 ,000 cubits and he brought me through
10:20
the waters. The water came up to my ankles. If
10:24
you go to the next verse for me, I'll show you
10:25
something. Again he measured 1 ,000 and brought
10:28
me through the waters and the water came up to
10:30
the knees and he measured 1 ,000 and brought
10:33
me through. The water came up to my waist, if
10:37
you can go to the next verse for me. Again he
10:40
measured 1 ,000 and it was a river that I could
10:44
not cross. For the water was too deep, water
10:48
in which one must swim. A river that could not
10:56
be crossed. I've titled the sermon, the tide
11:01
is risen. Present tense, not its coming. It already
11:09
has. You see, interestingly enough, it starts
11:14
with the ankles and then it rises to the waist.
11:17
To the knees and then it rises to the waist.
11:19
Until it becomes a river he cannot control. And
11:23
here's what struck me, it didn't all arrive at
11:26
once. It increased over time. You see, ankle
11:33
deep, knee deep, waist deep, then the river that
11:36
carries you. This is not just a river, this is
11:41
a tide that has risen. You see, Ezekiel saw prophetically
11:47
what Acts chapter 2, verse 17. shows us and it
11:53
shall come to pass in the last day says God that
11:56
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh you see
12:00
this is not just a moment here seven years is
12:02
not just a moment where you are today and the
12:05
Sunday is not just a moment I want to draw your
12:07
attention that this is not just a moment this
12:09
is not just an event and this is not just a Sunday
12:11
service that this moment right now is the beginning
12:15
of a movement I want you to hear and if you can
12:18
document with all I'm gonna do is just release
12:20
prophetically this morning that this moment is
12:22
the beginning of a movement and this is what
12:25
this signifies the tide is risen the spirit has
12:29
been poured out and he's still being poured out
12:33
and the river is flowing I want you to understand
12:37
that this is what God is doing in the season
12:40
and if you can catch it and you can discern it
12:42
and you can grab a hold of it and mix it with
12:45
faith, you'll begin to experience what God has
12:48
in store for you. You see, here's what we must
12:52
understand this morning. That just because the
12:55
river is flowing doesn't mean that everyone is
12:57
in it. Just because the tide is risen does not
13:01
mean that everyone has stepped into it yet. So
13:07
while that yet is still present that means there
13:09
is still time for you to Maximize the season
13:12
and maximize the moment and not just see the
13:15
number seven, but actually say God What are you
13:18
doing today now in my life? What are you saying
13:21
to me today? And now for me to step into it You
13:26
see in the seventh year In the seventh year now
13:33
when we look at the book of acts we We see the
13:36
effect of the outpouring. Acts 2 .17 shows us
13:40
that there is an outpouring. But Acts 2 .43 shows
13:45
us the effects of the outpouring. And this is
13:47
what I want to speak to us about today. I said
13:50
all of that to say mostly what I'm about to say
13:52
now. If you go with me to Acts 2 .43. Then fear
13:57
came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs
14:00
were done through the apostles. Now, that word
14:03
fear over there, the original interpretation
14:05
is awe. That word says that an awe came upon
14:11
them. An awe came upon every soul and many wonders
14:16
and signs were done. Notice the order. The outpouring.
14:24
The awe. and then the wonders. I don't know who
14:29
of you here need to see some wonders in your
14:32
life, who's trusting God for some signs in your
14:36
life. But in order for those signs and those
14:39
wonders to break out, there is a prerequisite.
14:43
That prerequisite is not just coming to church.
14:48
That prerequisite is not standing at the back
14:50
and maybe not enjoying your favorite song. That
14:55
prerequisite in order for there to be signs and
14:58
wonders Look what the prerequisite is there has
15:01
to be all Which means if always absent you will
15:09
misinterpret the outpouring See when we speak
15:15
about all filled wonder and we Want to maximize
15:20
the season you can't maximize the season with
15:22
the strategy You can't maximize the season through
15:26
a system. You can only maximize the season through
15:30
this one thing. And I believe that this is the
15:31
word for wave point, through all -filled wonder.
15:37
Can I ask a question today in the room? When
15:39
last did you come into the presence and you were
15:41
just wow? When last did you look in the mirror
15:45
at yourself and just be like wow? When last did
15:48
you look at your family and just be like When
15:53
lost were you in awe of what God was doing in
15:56
your life? You see the tide is risen not has
16:01
risen not will rise not it's about to rise the
16:05
tide is risen In other words you are in a move
16:08
of God right now In other words the presence
16:13
of God is flowing through Jeffrey's Bay and it's
16:16
moving in your life Right now whether you feel
16:19
it or whether you don't Are you heading for it?
16:27
Which means the shift has already occurred. I'm
16:30
gonna preach to somebody. The breakthrough has
16:32
already been done. Oh my God. The movement has
16:39
already started in your life. The thing you were
16:42
trusting God for has already been completed in
16:44
your life. Watch. The unseen has already turned.
16:52
Heaven has already aligned. What this purpose
16:55
require what the season requires can I said again
16:58
heaven has already aligned? Everything you need
17:02
for the my god In other words heaven has already
17:08
set it in motion Heaven's not waiting for your
17:11
permission to set something in motion. The tide
17:15
is risen because He is risen. The Spirit has
17:19
been poured out and it is still being poured
17:22
out. In other words, He has already completed
17:25
it, but you've got to step into it, but you can't
17:29
step into it if there is not all -filled wonder.
17:37
Man, I want you to hear me for a moment. Love
17:40
you're gonna keep my time because I want to finish
17:41
the whole word in time So I don't want to make
17:45
too much jokes Because You see heaven has already
17:51
aligned what was purpose for the season for this
17:53
house it has already aligned what has been purpose
17:55
for your life and So if you're not yet married
17:59
and he's sitting next to you. Don't worry. It's
18:02
coming And if you're trusting God for husband,
18:05
don't worry. He's also coming Because heaven
18:08
has already aligned. Some sisters were too scared
18:12
to say amen. Heaven has already provided for
18:17
you. Are you ready? Watch. Ecclesiastes 3 verse
18:20
1 to everything there is a season and a time
18:23
for every purpose under heaven. This is not merely
18:25
a new moment. This is the completion of a cycle.
18:31
I must say it again. That depression, those thoughts.
18:36
That were holding you bound that internal conflict
18:40
the number seven prophetic league means that
18:44
this is the end of that cycle and It is the consecration
18:49
of the next This is alignment for what must flow
18:57
now Seven alignment for what must flow now watch
19:01
because the seventh day was about inactivity
19:05
was not about inactivity it was about completion.
19:08
God rested not because he was tired but because
19:16
the work was finished and the system was set
19:20
in motion. What would you do if I told you right
19:23
now that at the seventh birthday in this moment
19:28
that whatever you need in your life it is already
19:31
done by God. In other words, I'm not gonna walk
19:39
around with worry and fear and anxiety Because
19:43
it is already completed You see the foundation
19:49
has been laid now the flow begins when the when
19:52
a tide rises no one sees it at first It shifts
19:57
beneath the surface before it manifests on the
20:01
shoreline I Went for fun the other day And as
20:07
I do, I sometimes speak to people. I saw the
20:11
most amazing sight the night before when I got
20:13
to Jay Bay. I saw a whole lot of fishing boats
20:16
on the water with their lights on, and I was
20:18
intrigued. So I stopped and I asked the fisherman,
20:22
what's going on? And he said to me, they're catching
20:28
choca. I thought it was somebody's name first.
20:31
I didn't understand what... I didn't know what
20:33
choca was. I said, what is chokha? He said to
20:39
me, it is squid. I said, how is it that they
20:42
all out at the same time? And he said to me,
20:45
they know the times. They know the times of the
20:49
ocean. I said, but why is the lights on? He said,
20:52
because the light draws the squid to the surface.
20:58
And immediately the Holy Spirit began to speak
21:00
to me and say to me, That how is it that we understand
21:03
the times of the natural but we can't discern
21:05
moments in the Spirit? And these men they understood
21:12
the times of the sea. They have the ability when
21:16
the moment has arrived they seized it. Did you
21:21
know that in this walk of faith you've got to
21:24
walk sensitive? Did you know that in this walk
21:28
of faith You can't be willy -nilly. You actually
21:31
have to be communicating with God all the time.
21:33
What are you saying here right now? What are
21:36
you doing here right now? How does these seven
21:39
years speak to my life? The DJ said in the first
21:42
service, it will be seven years of abundance.
21:46
Did you know that I'm not part of WavePoint,
21:47
but I took the seven years of abundance? I am
21:51
part of WavePoint. But I took it. Why? Because
21:57
it was a word. and i mixed that word with faith
22:02
and said the seven years of abundance is mine
22:04
because i'm sensitive enough to discern there's
22:07
something happening in the moment josh gets up
22:09
here early and he says something's about to shift
22:12
and what sounds like a word can you discern the
22:17
moment because moments will creep up on you and
22:21
if you don't see the moment you might just miss
22:24
the greatest opportunity in your life So watch
22:32
And this is the weight of this moment The tide
22:41
is no longer coming the tide is risen This is
22:45
the weight of the moment But we carry a responsibility
22:50
Not God The next move is not God's move the next
22:59
move is your move the tide has risen he has shifted
23:04
it he has brought the harvest to the surface
23:08
but the next move is your and my move and I know
23:11
for some of us might be difficult because we
23:14
want God to do all of the stuff sometimes I mean
23:17
I'm like that sometimes like why can't you just
23:19
do it but we have a responsibility to perceive
23:23
it to align with it and to step into it. And
23:29
the only way we do that is if we rightfully understand
23:32
what follows an outpouring. The way you align
23:36
with the season, and let me speak into that for
23:38
a moment, the way you and I align in the season
23:41
is not to lose your awe. Not to lose your awe
23:45
of what God is doing in Jeffrey's Bay. Not to
23:48
wait for somebody to come from outside and say,
23:50
oh my word, it's amazing what God is doing, but
23:53
you just sitting here like, oh, this is normal.
23:56
Because one of the ways you lose your awe is
23:59
by calling divine moments normal moments. And
24:06
so what awe does, awe allows us to look at the
24:10
moments through an accurate lens. I want to speak
24:14
to you for a moment to all of those of you that
24:16
wear to all those of you that wear bifocals and
24:20
you wear lenses that have prescription. You understand
24:24
exactly What a lens can do and cannot do and
24:28
if you have the ink the wrong ends You know how
24:31
difficult it will be for you to navigate through
24:33
life And so years what I want to drop to you
24:39
today that the lens through which you view these
24:41
moments have to be all In other words, it has
24:45
to be moments of wow It has to be moments when
24:48
you look at your spouse and if you don't not
24:51
enjoying your marriage right now You actually
24:52
have to get back to the place of all Oh my God,
24:57
your amen sounds unsaved. In other words, if
25:02
you're not enjoying something right now, a relationship
25:06
that you're in right now, maybe you gotta change
25:08
the lens. If you're not enjoying the church right
25:12
now, maybe it's not the church, maybe it's the
25:15
lens. I wanna show you something for a moment
25:19
because the lens determines everything, right?
25:23
And so watch. What it says, everything we're
25:27
talking about today comes down to a lens and
25:30
alignment. But whether you recognize it depends
25:33
on the lens. And whether you step into it depends
25:36
on the alignment. The tide is risen. But you
25:40
cannot step into alignment without the right
25:42
lens. You can be in the right moment and still
25:47
see it as wrong. You can be in the middle of
25:50
what God is doing and still stand outside of
25:52
it. Because God can be moving my God God can
25:57
be moving and your lens can be misaligned The
26:03
interesting thing it says that in X 12 X 2 12
26:07
13 it says and Some were amazed and perplexed
26:10
saying what does this mean others mocked and
26:13
said they are full of new wine Stay with me for
26:16
a moment same moment same outpouring same spirit,
26:19
but two completely different interpretations
26:22
I can come from Cape Town and stand in your church
26:24
and say, wow! I met the most amazing people and
26:27
you can be in the church and say, is there anything
26:29
new that's about to come out? Some saw the move
26:35
of God, others saw confusion. Some leaned in,
26:38
some dismissed it. Can I ask you a question?
26:41
Where are you? What do you see? Just a good church
26:48
for me to come to until... The grass gets greener
26:51
on the other side. Sorry, I don't want to offend
26:53
you, but I must say it. Is this a passing through
26:56
moment or is this the moment? You see, everything
27:03
comes down to can I discern the moment? It's
27:09
not whether the church has space for me, it's
27:11
whether I can see myself in the church. Oh my
27:14
God, I'm going to preach to you quickly. In other
27:17
words, The way I see things determines what I
27:23
receive from it Perception does determine the
27:27
reception now you didn't hear me I said again
27:30
Perception determines the reception based on
27:32
how you perceive me determines what you receive
27:35
from me That's just what it is You can't change
27:41
it. You can't alter it because the lens does
27:45
matter Same environment different lens and here
27:49
is the weight the difference between between
27:52
those who stepped into it and those who stood
27:54
Outside of it was not proximity. It was alignment
27:58
Because you can be close and still out of it
28:04
I Run a church back home and I say to some of
28:09
my team I say to them you can be next to me and
28:13
still not know where the movies And so watch,
28:19
we must define the lens. Let's talk about this
28:21
lens quickly. How many minutes do I have left,
28:23
Nance? How much? 10? 15? Jesus. Because you're
28:33
coming back tonight. And the reason you're going
28:39
to have to come back tonight is if you don't
28:41
want to come back tonight, you're going to lay
28:42
there and say, I'm missing a moment. That pastor
28:43
spoke about discerning a moment. Unfortunately
28:47
you're going to hear my voice because I am rememberable.
28:51
It's my own word, don't worry. Right, so watch.
28:56
And so this lens is called awe. Awful wonder,
29:00
that is the lens. Bible says, and awe came upon
29:05
them and signs and wonders followed. There can
29:07
be no sign and wonder if there's no awe towards
29:09
God. He is not moved by our By our anxiety or
29:18
through our anxiety. He's not moved by our tears
29:21
Guess what he is moved by faith and faith is
29:24
translated into all Because faith looks at God
29:28
and says God Wow Or fold wonder whatever you
29:34
do don't miss the moment There are moments that
29:39
will come in your life and my life and it will
29:42
not come again There are moments that might come
29:44
again, but there are certain moments of destiny
29:47
that will never come again. The Israelites journeyed
29:53
for 40 years. The next time their breakthrough
29:54
came was 40 years later. They came to the promised
30:02
land. Some theologian says they got there in
30:05
11 days. They saw the promise. When I was in
30:09
Egypt, I saw the distance. They got there in
30:11
11 days. but could not discern the moment and
30:15
it took them 40 years. I pray that that doesn't
30:18
happen to any of us. I pray that we will be able
30:22
to discern moments of destiny with God. Watch.
30:27
Not first signs, not wonders first, all came
30:30
first. All is not the reaction to power, all
30:33
is what allows you to recognize power. All is
30:37
the lens that says this is not normal, God is
30:40
in it. You don't step into what you don't recognize.
30:46
Can I say it again? You don't step into what
30:47
you don't recognize. The move of God can be going,
30:50
but you have to step into it. And the only way
30:52
we do that is through awe. The tide can be risen,
30:56
but if awe is absent, you will stand on the shore
30:59
and call it normal. You will sit in the room
31:01
and call it routine. You will hear God moving
31:05
and call it familiar. Awe is a holy awareness,
31:11
a deep reverence. a spiritual sensitivity, a
31:14
refusal to reduce God to something common. It
31:20
is an internal posture that refuses to say, I've
31:23
been, I've seen this before, I've been here before.
31:26
No, it's the ability to say, God, you are doing
31:29
something new. All is where true perception.
31:46
begins without all you don't just lack emotion
31:49
you lack accuracy always when you encounter God
31:55
and your only response is wow can I ask you a
31:58
question when last did you have a wow God moment
32:03
when last did you wake up and say wow God when
32:09
last did you look at your home and your family
32:11
and say wow It's as if nothing shifted but everything
32:16
shifted because of awe. Awe is when you encounter
32:25
God and your only response is no explanation.
32:30
Your response is not analysis, your response
32:32
is not logic, your response is wonder. Awe is
32:37
when the word lands deeper than information.
32:44
Always when his presence becomes unexplainable
32:47
when his movement silences your inner world When
32:53
you walk and you know God you in this thing Always
32:59
the moment your mind runs out of explanation
33:02
and your spirit takes over in reverence Or is
33:05
coming into his presence and saying wow or is
33:08
experiencing his grace and saying wow Always
33:11
when you read the scripture and it goes wow I'm
33:15
not speaking about church and I'm not speaking
33:16
about religious duty I'm speaking about a moment
33:19
when you're so sensitive to God that even in
33:22
that song that was being sung that you can be
33:25
shifted If I was a singer I would sing but For
33:33
the sake of your well -being I will not sing
33:37
But there's a line in that song that I'm gonna
33:40
get a tattoo about I'm standing over there now.
33:44
I must tell my wife. I'm gonna get a tattoo first
33:46
She's not looking at me it means there's no agreement,
33:50
but there's a song that in that song it says
33:53
my whole life my days tell a story let it be
34:15
of you only everything for the honor of your
34:22
name my whole life for your glory my whole world
34:30
for you only everything for the honor of if my
34:40
days tell a story let it be of you only everything
34:48
for the honor of my name my whole life for your
34:57
glory my whole world for you only everything
35:03
for the honor of your name Now right there, that
35:23
moment. That's all. That's all. All is not because
35:32
you gave me a breakthrough. All is because of
35:36
who you are. Or it's not because you've been
35:39
good to me always because of who you are Or it's
35:45
not because you opened up a door always just
35:47
because I beheld you And to step into the sky
35:54
to step into what God is doing you and I have
35:58
to have all See Psalm 33 8 says let stay with
36:07
me dear about you so blessed let all the earth
36:10
fear the Lord that all the inhabitants stand
36:12
in all of him All is the key that unlocks everything
36:20
I Need you to understand that all is the thing
36:26
That flips everything in your life upside down
36:29
always the thing that when there's an impossible
36:32
Moment that because you can behold His Majesty
36:36
it flips it Oh Oh Watch as I close always when
36:50
your inner man says this is God While I was busy
36:57
preparing this word how saying God may I never
37:00
lose my all Because you can be a Christian and
37:06
lose it You can do church and lose it But he
37:15
is to be beheld he is to be admired Because he
37:22
is not a man that he should lie and all the son
37:25
of man that he should repent we are speaking
37:27
about the god of all the universe the one who
37:33
put all of it together the one who gave you everything
37:36
that you have right now and you might not have
37:38
everything that you have that you want right
37:40
now but what he has given you my god he's still
37:42
being good it's all all changes everything If
37:52
ever you want to experience revival in your life,
37:57
put a worship song on and begin to worship and
37:59
begin to see Him, you'll be revived. If ever
38:04
you want to come awake, see Him for who He is
38:08
and I tell you to amazmerize you and I want to
38:11
say this to you, it's not duty. It's sensitivity
38:15
to the moment that what would you do if I told
38:17
you seven years right now? We are in a moment.
38:20
I'm saying Wow God You look at these young people
38:28
in this church oh When I look at some of you
38:33
some of you should be in bars Huh, you look the
38:38
part You should be drowning in your red bottle
38:44
of wines. Alcoholic, not knowing whether you're
38:47
coming or going, but when you see what God has
38:49
done, how can we not say, wow, God? Wow! How
38:55
can you not say, look at God? Look, some of you
39:00
were praying for your husbands to get born again,
39:02
now they're born again and on fire. That's the
39:05
moment you say, wow, God. That's the power. somebody
39:15
asked me one day how what has kept your fire
39:19
burning in ministry i said i never lost the ore
39:22
i look for god in everything i go for a run i
39:28
look for him where are you i meet somebody i
39:33
say wow what a beautiful person it's the ore
39:40
as i land Come back tonight for the last part
39:47
Didn't know it was gonna be this long, but I'm
39:51
only now at point number two And there's five
39:59
points But somehow always got me stuck here because
40:06
maybe just maybe he wants to resurrect your all
40:12
maybe just maybe he wants to uproot the complaining
40:16
for what you don't have yet to look at what you
40:19
do have and say God if it was not for you maybe
40:25
just maybe he wants to get you to a place where
40:29
you're on your knees and saying Lord thank you
40:34
because it could have been different it shouldn't
40:39
have been me You must understand it shouldn't
40:43
have been me. I didn't qualify to be a preacher
40:46
Nothing in my life Called me to be a pre you
40:50
don't understand. I said again. It shouldn't
40:52
have been me. I Don't know if there's anybody
40:57
here that knows it shouldn't have been me pasta
40:59
Because my sins were a scarlet It shouldn't have
41:06
been me pasta because I was out there in the
41:09
world and doing some things it shouldn't be but
41:13
his grace and his mercy. His grace and mercy
41:17
said my hand will still be on you. How can you
41:21
not be in awe of a god that decides over and
41:26
over again to love us even when we are unfaithful
41:30
in our love towards him. How do we forgive me
41:37
for a moment if my Passion seems to be getting
41:40
a hold of me, but I can't stand still when I
41:42
know it shouldn't have been me. Shouldn't have
41:47
been me. One morning I woke up and my second
41:51
younger son had a hole in his heart. He was about
41:53
to go to a cardiologist and the Holy Spirit looked
41:55
at me, nudged me, touched me and said to me,
41:57
I've healed him, it shouldn't have been him.
42:04
The moment you forget, is the moment all leaves
42:10
you. Don't forget all the things that He has
42:16
done. Because it's better now than it was then.
42:25
It's better now. You're more whole than what
42:29
you once were. Don't let your makeup and lip
42:33
gloss fool you and say it's because of what I've
42:36
done. No, it's because of Jesus I Remember it
42:46
shouldn't I shouldn't have been a dad of three
42:49
Nothing in me qualifies me for it But I was handed
42:55
a gift the gift of life And it came with destiny.
43:04
Oh, never lose. Wow. When you go home in a day
43:11
and you sit at the table, I dare you, double
43:14
dare you, look at your partner or your spouse.
43:21
Wow. Don't lose. The all Holy Spirit Yes, my
43:45
baby See quiet knows the voice of his father
43:52
Can can you descend the voice of your father
43:56
this morning Can you hear what your father's
43:59
saying to you this morning? Can you hear him
44:02
say that if you want to experience the next level
44:05
if you want something about to shift You've got
44:10
to return to the all I'm being led to say this
44:18
I'll say it All leaves or can leave sometimes
44:31
through the process of development think of that
44:36
for a moment because sometimes development is
44:41
not easy sometimes development says do better
44:47
sometimes development says leave this and sometimes
44:53
we interpret development a personal injustice
44:59
against ourselves but we got a reframe what development
45:07
looks like sometimes it's just the Lord saying
45:10
there's a better version in you I want to get
45:13
out of you this version is good for where you
45:17
were but there's a different version I'm bringing
45:20
out of you watch Because every time God develops
45:27
you he confronts you every time God grows you
45:30
he stretches you Every time God speaks says if
45:36
He corrects you but scripture tells me because
45:40
he he chester chastises those he loves and If
45:44
listen to this carefully you can stay with me,
45:47
but listen to this if the moment of development
45:49
is not met with humility it will be met with
45:56
offense. And offense is the root of familiarity.
46:13
And so sometimes when development came, we take
46:16
it personal. Growth came, we resisted it. Truth
46:21
came, we pushed it away. Inning in, we pulled
46:24
back. I got a word for somebody here today. Your
46:29
pulling back season is done. He's calling you
46:34
out. And he's saying, come. You say, what do
46:39
I have to do? You don't have to say seven Hail
46:41
Mary's. You don't have to go and do a list of
46:46
things for you to come back. All you need to
46:48
do is just say, Lord, you are my savior. All
46:53
you need to do is restore the all And so I want
46:58
to say this to you today Waypoint the tide is
47:03
risen Hmm The tide is risen How do I know I'm
47:11
in familiarity the same word that once shook
47:14
you now you analyze The same presence that once
47:18
moved you now you overlook The same worship that
47:21
once broke you now you observe. The same conviction
47:24
that once changed you now you resist. The same
47:28
moments that once mocked you now you manage.
47:31
The same voice that once led you now you question.
47:34
The same hunger that once drove you now you silence.
47:38
The same God who once amazed you now you treat
47:40
as common. Familiarity doesn't remove God from
47:45
the room. It just causes you to stop seeing Him.
47:52
And so this morning, I hear in my spirit the
47:55
Lord say that it's time to come into alignment.
47:59
Say, pastor, how do I do it all? Just behold
48:04
Him. You say, is it that easy? Yes, it is. You
48:09
don't have to do anything. You don't have to
48:11
roll on the floor. You don't have to do a somersault.
48:14
If I'm speaking language like that, it's because
48:15
you know I've got three young children right
48:17
now. But there's nothing you need to do. All
48:19
you need to do is just stand and say, Lord, here
48:24
I am. Thank you for everything you've done in
48:29
my life and restore the all. And when the all
48:34
is restored, you'll see that seven years of abundance
48:38
kick in. Seven years of abundance is about to
48:42
kick in. And this morning Pastor DJ said it.
48:44
I say this over your life, seven years of abundance
48:46
is about a kick in. Yeah. Yeah. Seven years of
48:52
abundance is about a kick in. I don't know what
48:55
the seven years has been like, but I'm saying
48:57
seven years of abundance is about a kick in.
49:01
Seven years. Come stand here. It's fine. Come,
49:03
come, come, come. It's fine. You can just face
49:07
towards me. And so even right now, Father, in
49:12
the name of Jesus, lift your hands for a moment.
49:17
This certain moment, God is moving. Did you see
49:22
that? You saw it. Because there's a moment. So
49:29
right now, Father, in the name of Jesus, every
49:32
cycle, every cycle, every cycle stops today.
49:40
In the name of Jesus, but maybe the season of
49:45
divine rest May it be a seasoned God of the activation
49:52
of destiny right now Father in Jesus mighty name
49:57
We release right now that which comes with the
50:01
seven years now in Jesus mighty name The blessing
50:08
and the breakthrough that comes with it In the
50:11
name of Jesus we release it now In Jesus mighty
50:16
name Right now father somebody say amen with
50:21
her Lord's about to restore You at the back,
50:34
I don't know your name There's a restoration
50:40
I don't know if it makes sense to you. It makes
50:43
sense. You've discerned the season. It's a season
50:47
of restoration. It makes sense, Nancy? It's a
50:52
season of restoration. And so as you even dive
50:55
in deeper, swim. Swim. Even if you splash, swim.
51:04
Swim. And as you come into alignment, you will
51:07
see. And while you're beginning to swim, the
51:11
splashes become smoother. And there's a gliding
51:17
that takes place. You're about to enter into
51:21
a seamless transition in your life. Seamless.
51:29
I see it in the spirit. I see it in the spirit
51:33
that you're about to move, that you are busy
51:36
moving. In fact you're going like a Boeing that
51:39
just came it's like a torpedo that God is going
51:42
to do something in the season and you're going
51:44
to move through the waters listen of his presence
51:47
and it's going to be I'm telling man I can see
51:50
it so right now receive it in the name of Jesus
51:54
Father restore in an accelerated time in Jesus
51:59
mighty name somebody say amen So I pray this
52:06
morning family That you will discern this moment
52:12
As you'll discern today That you will discern
52:19
seven I want to say this to you This moments
52:26
won't come again Seize the moment It's interesting
52:36
Natalie at at seven years of age Apostle DJ is
52:42
here And we are all here and I'm also here at
52:47
seven years something's about to shift Something's
52:53
about to shift, but if you can perceive it today
52:56
You can mix it with faith today You will see
53:00
what God will do You will see it we're closing
53:09
we're done we're done because he finished it
53:18
but you must come into alignment awe comes with
53:26
language awe comes with language how speaking
53:34
a parable when it restores the awe Your language
53:39
changes when the language change and the confession
53:43
of your mouth changes mountains move Mountains
53:48
move so my word to you today allow all to be
53:53
restored and Allow yourself to see what God is
53:57
doing not just in your life, but in the life
54:00
of your church Father in the name of Jesus right
54:08
now. Come on and stand to our feet as I I just
54:11
want to pray for you Jesus mighty name Father
54:19
I pray that you in this season and in this moment
54:23
God that you'd restore Father in the name of
54:28
Jesus that these seven years God will be seven
54:30
years of abundance Seven years of the abundance
54:34
of joy of the abundance of mercy of the abundance
54:37
of hope father in the name of jesus you take
54:41
errors and you turn it for good for those who
54:44
love you and so even now god i pray spirit of

55:08
I thank you today, Holy Spirit, to restore the
55:12
awe. If you're well with me just for about 15
55:16
seconds, just begin to speak to Him in this place.
55:21
And just allow Him to restore the awe in this
55:26
place. to speak to. Hey, you've been called by
56:30
God you've been called by God Hold it on If you've
57:35
