GOD IS WARNING YOU ABOUT THE WEAKNESS YOU KEEP IGNORING - T.D. JAKES PURPOSE AND POWER · Jakes Messages and Purpose

Speaker 1: Last person in this room eluding no one touching everyone
0:08
Speaker 1: ministering powerfully and specifically to the continuity of where we
0:15
Speaker 1: are right now in jesus name we pray amen you
0:20
Speaker 1: may be seated in prison I am fascinated and I
0:25
Speaker 1: keep driving my eyes back to Samson because reading about
0:28
Speaker 1: him now with mature eyes, I see things that I
0:31
Speaker 1: did not see when I was younger and I did
0:33
Speaker 1: not see when I was a child. When I was
0:36
Speaker 1: a child and taught about Samson, my vision was on
0:39
Speaker 1: how muscular he was and how strong he was and
0:43
Speaker 1: how miraculously he moved and how he took little things
0:47
Speaker 1: and did a lot with them. That's how you know
0:49
Speaker 1: you're anointed when you can take little and do much.
0:55
Speaker 1: the jawbone of an ass and killed 10,000 Philistines, tying
0:59
Speaker 1: foxes together and setting their tails on fire and burning
1:02
Speaker 1: up fields. He didn't use strong weaponry, but whatever his
1:07
Speaker 1: hands found turned into a weapon. And I was amazed
1:11
Speaker 1: by that. Later, I began to realize that Samson was
1:15
Speaker 1: not as muscular as he was in my Sunday school book.
1:20
Speaker 1: For had he been as muscular as they depicted him
1:23
Speaker 1: in the Sunday school class, then it would have been
1:26
Speaker 1: foolish for Delilah to ask, where does your strength lie?
1:32
Speaker 1: If you saw Arnold Schwarzenegger in his heyday, you wouldn't
1:35
Speaker 1: ask him, how come you're so strong? Where does your
1:37
Speaker 1: strength lie? But if you saw Pee Wee Herman and
1:39
Speaker 1: he was lifting weights like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you would say,
1:42
Speaker 1: where does your strength lie? Which lets me know that
1:45
Speaker 1: God will give you strength that is not visible. He
1:52
Speaker 1: will cause you to be successful when the odds are
1:54
Speaker 1: against you, when there is no outward evidence that you
1:57
Speaker 1: are as strong as you are, and yet you can
1:59
Speaker 1: do feats that succeed people's impression of you because of
2:04
Speaker 1: the anointing that is upon your life. God can do it.
2:08
Speaker 1: How can a woman like that end up in a
2:10
Speaker 1: position like that? And how can a man like that
2:13
Speaker 1: end up over there? And how can a former inmate
2:16
Speaker 1: end up with a job like that? And how can
2:19
Speaker 1: a girl like her end up married to a guy
2:21
Speaker 1: like him? And how did he get her? That kind
2:24
Speaker 1: of crazy supernatural stuff that has something to do with
2:28
Speaker 1: something beyond yourself that you begin to realize that wherever
2:32
Speaker 1: you are, whatever station in life you have entered into
2:35
Speaker 1: that you did not get there by yourself. You got
2:41
Speaker 1: jobs for which you don't have credentials. You got doors
2:46
Speaker 1: open for you that you can't even explain. You can
2:49
Speaker 1: do stuff and you don't even know how you can
2:51
Speaker 1: do it. You weren't trained for it. You're just gifted
2:53
Speaker 1: in it. You can go beyond the books because there's
2:56
Speaker 1: an instinct down in you that enables you to know
2:58
Speaker 1: what to do in a way that passes understanding and
3:01
Speaker 1: it blows the minds of your peers that you just
3:04
Speaker 1: know what to say and what to do, when to
3:06
Speaker 1: do it and it's because the anointing of God is
3:08
Speaker 1: on your life. And I look at that, and in
3:14
Speaker 1: the middle of my ministry, I was amazed by how
3:16
Speaker 1: God could take somebody who seemingly had no outer strength,
3:20
Speaker 1: and yet they were throwing gates and killing with jawbones
3:23
Speaker 1: up an ass and making weapons out of things that
3:26
Speaker 1: were not weapons and being effective. But on closer observation,
3:30
Speaker 1: I began to understand that Samson was quite dichotomous. He was,
3:35
Speaker 1: he was, he was, he was strong and weak. He
3:44
Speaker 1: was good and bad. He was powerful and passive. I
3:54
Speaker 1: began to understand that he was quite complicated. That it
3:57
Speaker 1: was difficult to understand the trajectory of his life. It
4:02
Speaker 1: was not one straight line. Not one extension between point
4:06
Speaker 1: A and point B that there were hills and valleys
4:09
Speaker 1: and ups and downs and ridges. And not only him,
4:12
Speaker 1: but all of us. When you tell your story, you
4:17
Speaker 1: might tell it like it was a straight line, but
4:19
Speaker 1: you and I know the real deal. There were moments
4:25
Speaker 1: you thought you were going to emerge and then you
4:26
Speaker 1: had a setback and then you started up again and
4:29
Speaker 1: then you went down again and your life began to
4:32
Speaker 1: look a little bit like Samson's life. Samson's life looked
4:35
Speaker 1: like this. It had moments of power and moments of failure,
4:44
Speaker 1: moments of strength. And then just when you thought it
4:47
Speaker 1: was about to get there, it would all fall down again.
4:51
Speaker 1: It had moments of deviation and moments of aggravation and
4:56
Speaker 1: ups and downs and ridges and valleys and moments where
4:59
Speaker 1: just when you thought you were getting somewhere else. Everything
5:01
Speaker 1: went down. They tricked him. They deceived him. They lied
5:04
Speaker 1: on him. They betrayed him. They hurt him. They denied him.
5:07
Speaker 1: He fell backwards. He became prey to his enemy. He
5:10
Speaker 1: was attacked by the Philistines. He was taken down and
5:13
Speaker 1: blinded and branded at the mill and down to nothing
5:17
Speaker 1: and about to die. And then all of a sudden,
5:19
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all of a sudden he started
5:22
Speaker 1: going up in this final thrust of Power, this thrust
5:26
Speaker 1: of power is an inflection point. It is the point
5:30
Speaker 1: in your life that everything turns completely around, never to
5:35
Speaker 1: go back to where it was before. You see, an
5:42
Speaker 1: inflection point, my friend, is an event that results in
5:45
Speaker 1: a significant change in the progress of anything, a person,
5:48
Speaker 1: a company, an industry, a sector, an economy, a geopolitical situation,
5:53
Speaker 1: and can be considered a turning point after which a
5:56
Speaker 1: dramatic change occurs in our life, which could be positive
5:59
Speaker 1: or negative. It results in an expected result that is
6:05
Speaker 1: amazing and contradicts all of the fluctuations of the past.
6:10
Speaker 1: That inflection point is the point that breaks the routine
6:14
Speaker 1: and the pattern of being. The old folks say that
6:16
Speaker 1: like this, sometimes up and sometimes down, almost level to
6:20
Speaker 1: the ground, but the storm is passing over. Hallelujah. I
6:25
Speaker 1: begin to see that in Samson's life in an amazing way,
6:29
Speaker 1: the fluctuations in his life. And I begin to understand
6:33
Speaker 1: that in most of our lives, life has not been
6:35
Speaker 1: a crystal stairs. Amen. There's been hills and valleys and
6:39
Speaker 1: mountains and ridges and ups and downs. Sometimes we had
6:44
Speaker 1: the privilege of being able to go down privately while
6:50
Speaker 1: we look good publicly. And so your name remains untarnished,
6:55
Speaker 1: but your memories are filled. With indiscretions and misdirections and
7:01
Speaker 1: mistakes and happenstance and chaos and confusion. And then you begin,
7:06
Speaker 1: the reason it's important for me to track Samson's ups
7:10
Speaker 1: and downs and ridges and twists and turns is because
7:14
Speaker 1: trends are important. And that is important. And understanding how
7:19
Speaker 1: things work, but whether it's in business or just in
7:23
Speaker 1: the home budgeting, it doesn't matter what it is, trends
7:25
Speaker 1: help you to determine a pattern. If you watch people
7:29
Speaker 1: long enough, they'll never surprise you. Because people have patterns.
7:39
Speaker 1: And the best prediction of future behavior is past experiences.
7:44
Speaker 1: The same thing that tripped Samson up the first time
7:48
Speaker 1: tripped him up the next time. He is fighting against
7:51
Speaker 1: the Philistines and yet in love with their women. The
7:57
Speaker 1: first girl he chooses is a woman who is his enemy.
8:02
Speaker 1: I think it was his first mistake with her that
8:09
Speaker 1: he chose a wife. from Gaza that tipped the Philistines
8:15
Speaker 1: off that he's strong in war, but he's weak in relationships.
8:22
Speaker 1: So we don't need to hire chariots. We need to
8:26
Speaker 1: hire Delilah. We talk a lot about Delilah, but Delilah
8:31
Speaker 1: was not Samson's first mistake. She is a repetition of
8:34
Speaker 1: previous indiscretions. Because you see, the enemy can't use anything
8:40
Speaker 1: new on you because he's not a creator. So he's
8:44
Speaker 1: just coming. The names have been changed, but the weapons
8:48
Speaker 1: are still the same. Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
8:54
Speaker 1: And if you trend anything and track anything, you can
8:57
Speaker 1: overcome anything by watching your trends. That's why when you
9:00
Speaker 1: go on a diet, they want you to write down
9:02
Speaker 1: what you eat because they want you to see your
9:04
Speaker 1: trends and your patterns and that sort of thing. You
9:06
Speaker 1: go to the doctor, he wants you to take your
9:08
Speaker 1: blood pressure and write it down and send him the
9:10
Speaker 1: blood pressure results after a month because he's watching how
9:13
Speaker 1: it trends up in the morning and in the evening
9:15
Speaker 1: and after you eat and after you did this and
9:17
Speaker 1: after you did that. The easiest place that we see
9:19
Speaker 1: trends is in weather. We understand that weather, in part,
9:23
Speaker 1: is a result of seasons. But almost every day or so,
9:27
Speaker 1: the climatologist confirms with the meteorologist in pursuit of a forecast.
9:32
Speaker 1: They can predict the forecast by watching the trends of
9:35
Speaker 1: the past. And every now and then, something breaks beyond
9:38
Speaker 1: the past. And they say, this is the hottest day
9:40
Speaker 1: in the history since we have been trending and recording.
9:43
Speaker 1: Gathering data is important so you can understand how to
9:47
Speaker 1: protect yourself or you will be defeated. Imagine how much
9:54
Speaker 1: better your personal finances, for example, would be if you
9:57
Speaker 1: gave them that kind of attention. and you really started
10:00
Speaker 1: writing down how you spend money and why you spend
10:04
Speaker 1: money like some people have what they call shopping therapy
10:07
Speaker 1: they get depressed and spend their rent money as if
10:11
Speaker 1: you're not going to be more depressed when you get
10:13
Speaker 1: evicted They go out and other people want to look
10:21
Speaker 1: prosperous rather than be prosperous. Other people love depreciating assets
10:28
Speaker 1: rather than appreciating assets. So they drive a Bentley, but
10:32
Speaker 1: they drive it up to a project. So as long
10:37
Speaker 1: as I catch you driving, you look good. But if
10:40
Speaker 1: you own a Bentley and don't own a garage, there's
10:42
Speaker 1: something wrong with your thinking, but I'm not going to
10:44
Speaker 1: bother that. First thing a doctor does is check your
10:48
Speaker 1: vitals to determine changes that might be headed to an
10:52
Speaker 1: inflection point. They want to catch it before it gets
10:55
Speaker 1: too far. Your numbers are going up. Your numbers are
10:56
Speaker 1: going down. Your numbers are going this way, that way.
10:59
Speaker 1: And yet we do not pay enough attention to the
11:01
Speaker 1: trends in our lives and the trends in other people's
11:04
Speaker 1: lives to come to an inflection point. An inflection point
11:09
Speaker 1: is where you break out of the prison of patterns.
11:14
Speaker 1: Some people do everything the same way. They eat at
11:17
Speaker 1: the same place. They go to church the same way.
11:19
Speaker 1: They go to the same grocery store. And anytime somebody's
11:23
Speaker 1: trying to do a hit on you, it's easy to
11:25
Speaker 1: do a hit on you when you have a pattern.
11:28
Speaker 1: And sometimes breaking the pattern is breaking the vulnerability to
11:32
Speaker 1: have an infection point where you get out of the
11:34
Speaker 1: reach of your attackers. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
11:38
Speaker 1: Let's apply this premise theologically to people like Joseph. Joseph's
11:42
Speaker 1: dream gave him the data to devise a plan that
11:46
Speaker 1: led to the survival of all of Egypt. He has
11:50
Speaker 1: a dream and he interprets the dream. The king has
11:54
Speaker 1: a dream. The Pharaoh has a dream. And he interprets
11:56
Speaker 1: the dream. And Joseph's gift enables him to collect data
12:00
Speaker 1: that caused all of Egypt to survive the famine. Because
12:04
Speaker 1: he understood patterns, he was able to prepare for what
12:09
Speaker 1: was coming next. And here we are on the precipice
12:12
Speaker 1: of a new year without a new plan. We think
12:17
Speaker 1: that January 1 is a magic number that we can
12:19
Speaker 1: use and immediately everything's going to be new because the
12:22
Speaker 1: calendar changed. But if the calendar changes and you don't change,
12:26
Speaker 1: then you don't have a new year, you just got
12:28
Speaker 1: another day. You got to watch the patterns of the
12:33
Speaker 1: past to determine what needs to be broken so that
12:36
Speaker 1: you can really have a new year and not just
12:39
Speaker 1: another day on the calendar. You must hear what I'm
12:42
Speaker 1: saying to you. There comes a point where enough is enough.
12:49
Speaker 1: You watch this up and down and up and down
12:51
Speaker 1: and up and down and up and down and back
12:52
Speaker 1: and forth. And there comes a point where you get
12:55
Speaker 1: sick and tired of not being able to trust up.
12:59
Speaker 1: I was up on Sunday. I got bad news. I
13:02
Speaker 1: was down on Wednesday. I came up a little bit
13:04
Speaker 1: by Friday. I went down Saturday night. I went back
13:08
Speaker 1: to church on Sunday. I was on a mountaintop. Somebody
13:10
Speaker 1: got on my nerves Sunday night. I fell down again.
13:13
Speaker 1: There comes a point that you get tired of being
13:16
Speaker 1: on the roller coaster of life, always up and always down.
13:21
Speaker 1: And you don't need to come to church to get high.
13:28
Speaker 1: I don't need a motivational speech. I don't need somebody
13:31
Speaker 1: who's going to titillate my emotions. I don't need somebody
13:33
Speaker 1: who's going to thrill me for a moment only for
13:35
Speaker 1: me to be cast back down again. I need you
13:38
Speaker 1: to preach me to an inflection point, to get me
13:41
Speaker 1: to the point that I finally break the pattern and
13:44
Speaker 1: finally come out of it never to return again. If
13:47
Speaker 1: you look at Joseph's whole life, oh, y'all don't hear
13:50
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Am I talking to anybody in the room?
13:54
Speaker 1: Look at somebody and say, I need an inflection point. Yeah,
13:58
Speaker 1: where I completely go through a metamorphosis never to be
14:02
Speaker 1: who I was again. I need to reach a point
14:04
Speaker 1: of change where I can be stable and steadfast and
14:07
Speaker 1: unmovable and always abounding in the work of the Lord.
14:12
Speaker 1: I need to go from fruit to less fruit to
14:15
Speaker 1: more fruit to much fruit. I want to enter into that.
14:18
Speaker 1: I want to get in my zone. Y'all don't hear
14:22
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If I get in my zone, I
14:24
Speaker 1: am unstoppable. If I get in my zone, you can
14:27
Speaker 1: hate me, but you can't stop me. If I get
14:29
Speaker 1: in my zone, demons have to back out of my way.
14:32
Speaker 1: If I get in my zone, witches can't curse me.
14:35
Speaker 1: If I get in my zone, I am destined to win.
14:38
Speaker 1: I got to get in my zone. I got to
14:40
Speaker 1: get in that place where enough is enough. Look at
14:43
Speaker 1: somebody and say, enough is enough. You take Joseph's life
14:50
Speaker 1: in general. Joseph gets a coat of many colors, and
14:52
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, he's down in the pit.
14:55
Speaker 1: He's thrown down in the pit until they told his
14:57
Speaker 1: father he was dead. He ends up in Potiphar's house.
15:00
Speaker 1: He goes up again. He goes all the way up
15:02
Speaker 1: in Potiphar's house. Potiphar's wife lies on him. He goes
15:05
Speaker 1: back down again. He ends up in prison, he starts
15:08
Speaker 1: operating his gift, and he goes up again. And all
15:11
Speaker 1: of a sudden, while he's in prison, locked up in
15:14
Speaker 1: a dark place, in a dark place, things begin to
15:18
Speaker 1: change in his life until he finally reached an inflection
15:22
Speaker 1: point where he came up. And Brother Keon, once he
15:25
Speaker 1: came up that last time, he never went back down again.
15:30
Speaker 1: Y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you. See, the
15:35
Speaker 1: church is always talking about how he went up and
15:38
Speaker 1: down and up and down and was in the pit
15:40
Speaker 1: and in the Potiphar's house and then in the palace.
15:42
Speaker 1: But they don't tell you that there is a place.
15:47
Speaker 1: where you can have such an inflection that you never
15:50
Speaker 1: go through what you went through ever again in your life.
15:55
Speaker 1: I want to talk to somebody in this room who
15:58
Speaker 1: is ready for an inflection point. If I'm talking to you,
16:02
Speaker 1: make some noise, holler at your boy, let me hear you,
16:06
Speaker 1: talk back to me. I want to hear you say something.
16:17
Speaker 1: An inflection point. An inflection point. I'm tired of being
16:21
Speaker 1: up and down. In love and out of love. In
16:24
Speaker 1: one relationship and in another. I want to get to
16:26
Speaker 1: something stable. Something I can trust. Something I can lean on.
16:31
Speaker 1: Something I can put my weight on. Something I can
16:33
Speaker 1: relax on. Something I can trust on. Samson said I
16:36
Speaker 1: want to lean on a pillar. I want to get
16:38
Speaker 1: to a place where I can rest in who I
16:40
Speaker 1: am and whose I am. And not let my emotions
16:43
Speaker 1: be up and down and up and down and up
16:45
Speaker 1: and down. and all the drama that comes along with
16:49
Speaker 1: loving you. Some of you are hard to love because
16:51
Speaker 1: we don't know which one of you we're going to
16:53
Speaker 1: meet from day to day. You're one way on Monday.
16:56
Speaker 1: You're another way on Tuesday. You're another way next Friday.
16:59
Speaker 1: You're next day on Saturday. We don't even know which
17:02
Speaker 1: one to love. We have to take your temperature before
17:05
Speaker 1: we come in the room because you're not stable. You're
17:08
Speaker 1: not consistent. You're not steadfast. And you can't help it.
17:11
Speaker 1: But God is about to lead you to a place
17:14
Speaker 1: Where a yoke is broken in your pattern and you
17:16
Speaker 1: are set free. Somebody shake yourself. I'm shaking myself loose
17:22
Speaker 1: from my pattern. I'm shaking myself loose from my normal.
17:25
Speaker 1: I'm shaking myself loose from my routine. I have got
17:29
Speaker 1: to break this pattern. There is an inflection point. See,
17:39
Speaker 1: we need to teach this to bullies because you can
17:42
Speaker 1: only bully a child so long. I don't care how
17:45
Speaker 1: big you are and how small the child is and
17:48
Speaker 1: how many times you send her home crying with her
17:50
Speaker 1: nose busted. There comes a point where the child gets
17:53
Speaker 1: sick and tired of being sick and tired. You can
17:56
Speaker 1: only bully me on my job so long. And once
17:59
Speaker 1: you bully me long enough, I'm going to turn into some,
18:02
Speaker 1: we have recent inflection point where I'm reaching an inflection point.
18:05
Speaker 1: You're not dealing with the guy that went home crying anymore.
18:08
Speaker 1: Now you got to fight somebody who has gone slap
18:11
Speaker 1: crazy on you because you won't leave me alone and
18:14
Speaker 1: you won't stop. And there's got to be a breaking point.
18:17
Speaker 1: And if there's somebody in here, you're on the verge
18:19
Speaker 1: of an inflection. You have been beat. You've been slapped.
18:23
Speaker 1: You've had your eyes black, your lips busted, lost a tooth.
18:27
Speaker 1: And now you're learning how to fight back in the
18:29
Speaker 1: Holy Ghost because enough is enough. Give him 30 seconds
18:33
Speaker 1: of praise if I'm coming up your street. The year
18:45
Speaker 1: was 15. Sit down. I'm just talking to you. I
18:48
Speaker 1: feel something. I feel good. I feel good in my soul.
18:51
Speaker 1: I feel good in my spirit. I feel like something
18:53
Speaker 1: is about to break it here. I feel like hell
18:56
Speaker 1: is nervous. I feel like demons are trembling. I feel
18:59
Speaker 1: like Satan is upset because he wants to keep you
19:02
Speaker 1: going up and down and up and down and up
19:03
Speaker 1: and down and up and down. Unstable and unaggressed and
19:06
Speaker 1: in turmoil. Uncertain and unsure. But the devil is a liar.
19:11
Speaker 1: He's a liar. He's a liar. He's a liar. Because
19:14
Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost has been telling me all week, tell
19:16
Speaker 1: my people there is an inflection point. There is a
19:20
Speaker 1: point of change. The year was 1517. The country was Germany.
19:27
Speaker 1: The place was Wittenberg Castle. When Martin Luther decides to
19:31
Speaker 1: deliver the 95 Thesis, the 95 Thesis was not just
19:35
Speaker 1: the illumination of a revelation regarding justification of faith. It
19:40
Speaker 1: was that place in his life of inflection where he
19:43
Speaker 1: got tired of the Roman Catholic Church of that time
19:47
Speaker 1: imposing and imparting more and more and more, asking for
19:51
Speaker 1: more tariffs against poor people. He just got sick and
19:54
Speaker 1: tired of it, sick and tired of it. He put
19:57
Speaker 1: up with it for years. He was a part of
19:59
Speaker 1: it for years. He didn't say anything for years, but
20:02
Speaker 1: it had reached an inflection point. The combination of the
20:05
Speaker 1: oppression of his leadership And the illumination of his revelation
20:10
Speaker 1: gave birth to the 95 Theses from which he decided
20:14
Speaker 1: to protest against the fluctuations that were happening in his life.
20:19
Speaker 1: It was so serious that history says that the German
20:23
Speaker 1: pontiffs got together and passed a decree that said anybody
20:29
Speaker 1: who kills Martin Luther will not have to do any
20:32
Speaker 1: kind of tithe. See, the enemy will threaten you when
20:36
Speaker 1: you want to be free. As long as you don't
20:40
Speaker 1: want to be free, hell don't have no trouble with you.
20:43
Speaker 1: But the moment you get sick and tired of being
20:45
Speaker 1: sick and tired, hell will put you on a hit
20:48
Speaker 1: list to terminate you. What they didn't know is that
20:50
Speaker 1: Martin Luther would not be threatened by these gregarious threats
20:55
Speaker 1: that they had released against him to the general populace
20:57
Speaker 1: so that they wouldn't have to bear the guilt and
20:59
Speaker 1: shame of murdering him. A lot of people don't have
21:02
Speaker 1: the nerve to attack you, but they'll get somebody else
21:05
Speaker 1: to attack you The old folks used to say, throw
21:09
Speaker 1: in the rocks. That's how it was. Throw in the
21:11
Speaker 1: rocks and hide in their hand. They'll act like it's
21:13
Speaker 1: not them so that they can still be in your company,
21:16
Speaker 1: but secretly they seek your demise. Who am I talking to?
21:27
Speaker 1: They put him out. They got rid of him. Pope
21:31
Speaker 1: Leo X issued a papal order that caused him to
21:34
Speaker 1: be excommunicated. But there comes a point when you reach
21:38
Speaker 1: an inflection point, you can't threaten me. You can't threaten
21:42
Speaker 1: my life. You can't take away your fellowship. You can
21:45
Speaker 1: have your credentials back. Here's my collar. You can have
21:48
Speaker 1: my collar. When I get ready to break loose, here's
21:51
Speaker 1: the ring. Take the ring back. Take the roses back.
21:55
Speaker 1: Take the cards back. And here's that dress you gave me.
21:59
Speaker 1: And you can have this tie. Somebody knows what I mean.
22:03
Speaker 1: To reach an inflection point where you make up your mind,
22:06
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it anymore. Is there anybody in this house?
22:10
Speaker 1: That's reached an inflection point in your life. And you
22:13
Speaker 1: made up in your mind, enough is enough. And I'm
22:15
Speaker 1: ready to make a change. Holler at your boy. You see,
22:25
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, inflection points are the moments in
22:28
Speaker 1: which things shift. Not just temporarily, but permanently. Permanently. With
22:33
Speaker 1: the life of Jesus, the inflection point was the raising
22:36
Speaker 1: of Lazarus from the dead. Everything was kind of cool
22:39
Speaker 1: until he raised Lazarus from the dead. Caiaphas got so
22:43
Speaker 1: upset when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead that he
22:46
Speaker 1: knew it was no stopping him because Jesus had evidence
22:49
Speaker 1: to point to that nobody could deny. They knew Lazarus
22:53
Speaker 1: was sick. He had been sick a long time. They
22:56
Speaker 1: knew Lazarus had grown worse. They knew Lazarus had died.
23:00
Speaker 1: They had attended the funeral. Jesus didn't show up until
23:03
Speaker 1: after the funeral. He waited four days until Lazarus was taken.
23:08
Speaker 1: There was no doubt that he was dead. There was
23:11
Speaker 1: no doubt that he was decaying. There was no doubt
23:14
Speaker 1: that he was deteriorating. And then Jesus had the audacity
23:18
Speaker 1: to say, show me where you laid him down. They
23:21
Speaker 1: took him to where he was stinking. Have you ever
23:23
Speaker 1: brought God to where it stinks? I know you bring
23:26
Speaker 1: God to the roses, but you need to bring God
23:28
Speaker 1: to the stinky places, to the place where it don't
23:31
Speaker 1: smell good, to the place where there is decay, to
23:34
Speaker 1: the place where there is decadence, to the place where
23:37
Speaker 1: there is trouble. And Jesus had the audacity to not
23:40
Speaker 1: let the stink stop him. He said, roll the stone away.
23:44
Speaker 1: You'll never get better until you show God what it is.
23:47
Speaker 1: Stop pretending to be better than you are. Stop pretending
23:50
Speaker 1: to be more than you are. If you're broke, you're broke.
23:53
Speaker 1: If you're depressed, you're depressed. If you're crying, you're crying.
23:57
Speaker 1: God is the only one who can stand the stench
24:00
Speaker 1: of the decay because when God gets ready to give
24:03
Speaker 1: you an infection point, no devil in hell can stop
24:06
Speaker 1: him from being able to bring that infection point in
24:09
Speaker 1: your life. And so the Bible says that they rolled
24:13
Speaker 1: the stone away. And when they rolled the stone away,
24:17
Speaker 1: Jesus called him by his name. And when he called
24:20
Speaker 1: him by his name, he had to be careful. Because
24:23
Speaker 1: if he had just said, get up, everything that had
24:25
Speaker 1: been dead for thousands of years would have got up
24:29
Speaker 1: out of the grave. But he only needed one witness
24:32
Speaker 1: to be an inflection point. So he said, Lazarus, come
24:36
Speaker 1: forth to prove my point. Jesus told the disciples that
24:40
Speaker 1: Lazarus' sickness is not unto death. but for the glory
24:44
Speaker 1: of God. In other words, I'm going to use his
24:47
Speaker 1: death as an inflection point to tip Caiaphas' hands, to
24:51
Speaker 1: expose Caiaphas' hatred, because Caiaphas is trying to act like
24:55
Speaker 1: he's really behind me. But I'm going to have an
24:58
Speaker 1: inflection point. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, all
25:03
Speaker 1: hell broke loose. K-Office said, we've got to do something.
25:07
Speaker 1: We've got to shut him down. Watch out for success.
25:10
Speaker 1: As long as you're failing, you've got a lot of friends.
25:13
Speaker 1: But when you start to succeed, all hell will break loose.
25:17
Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm talking to, but I've got
25:20
Speaker 1: to warn you. Because God is getting ready to take
25:23
Speaker 1: you to a place that hell is upset about. And
25:27
Speaker 1: all kinds of plots are going to come against you.
25:30
Speaker 1: But greater is he. that is in you than he
25:34
Speaker 1: that's in the world. Fist bump somebody and tell them
25:38
Speaker 1: something's about to happen in this place. Tell somebody else
25:42
Speaker 1: something's about to happen in this place. I feel it
25:44
Speaker 1: in my hands. I feel it in my feet. I
25:47
Speaker 1: feel it in my soul. Something's about to happen in
25:50
Speaker 1: my life. Something's about to happen in my spirit. I
25:53
Speaker 1: feel the power of resurrection. I've been in a dark
25:57
Speaker 1: place a long time. I've been in a down place
26:00
Speaker 1: for a long time, but I see the stone rolling away.
26:04
Speaker 1: I see light in my graveyard. I will not stay
26:08
Speaker 1: like you met me. A change is on its way.
26:12
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to get out of here. Tell all
26:15
Speaker 1: my dead friends I got to go. See wouldn't want
26:20
Speaker 1: to be. The moment I get a chance to escape,
26:24
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let your friendship die. Keep me
26:26
Speaker 1: in my grave. The devil is alive. I'm going to
26:30
Speaker 1: get out if I got to hop out. If I
26:33
Speaker 1: got to come out bound. I'm coming if my hands
26:36
Speaker 1: are tied. I'm coming if my feet are tied. I'm
26:39
Speaker 1: coming if I got to hop out little by little.
26:42
Speaker 1: The moment I get a breakthrough, I'm coming out. Let
26:45
Speaker 1: me tell you something. The moment the anointing hits you,
26:49
Speaker 1: don't worry about what nobody else is doing. You need
26:52
Speaker 1: to come out if it's right now. If God touch
26:55
Speaker 1: you right now, if you got to leap, leap. If
26:58
Speaker 1: you got to run, run. If you got to holler, holler.
27:02
Speaker 1: Because this is your inflection point. The Holy Ghost told
27:07
Speaker 1: me if I preach this while I was preaching it,
27:11
Speaker 1: people were going to leap out of their prisons. They
27:13
Speaker 1: were going to leap out of their trouble. They were
27:15
Speaker 1: going to leap out of their storm. They were going
27:18
Speaker 1: to leap out of their chaos. Somebody give him 42
27:21
Speaker 1: seconds of praise. Praise him like you're coming out. Praise
27:37
Speaker 1: him like you mean business. Praise him like you're tired
27:40
Speaker 1: of being locked up. Praise him like you're tired of
27:43
Speaker 1: the fluctuation. Praise him like you're tired of the drama. Well,
27:46
Speaker 1: look at your neighbor and say, I'm coming out of this.
27:49
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want to do, but I'm
27:52
Speaker 1: coming out of this. Stay here if you want to
27:55
Speaker 1: stay here. Stay here with the asses. Me and the
27:58
Speaker 1: lad are going yonder to worship. I got to get
28:01
Speaker 1: my breakthrough when I can. I got to get it
28:04
Speaker 1: if I got to get it in the balcony. I
28:06
Speaker 1: got to get it if I got to kick off
28:08
Speaker 1: my shoes and run. I got to get it if
28:10
Speaker 1: I got to shake down my hair. I got to
28:13
Speaker 1: get it if I got to pull off my eyelashes.
28:15
Speaker 1: I need a breakthrough. I need an infection point. I
28:19
Speaker 1: need a change. I don't need a date change on
28:22
Speaker 1: the calendar. I really need a new year. Is there
28:26
Speaker 1: anybody here? That needs a new year from God. Be
28:32
Speaker 1: radical about it. Be ruthless about it. Be tenacious about it.
28:36
Speaker 1: And make some noise. I was reading over in the
28:55
Speaker 1: Gospel of St. John, 1810, verse 10 through 14. Check
28:59
Speaker 1: this out. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it
29:03
Speaker 1: and smote the high priest's servant and cut off his
29:05
Speaker 1: right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus
29:09
Speaker 1: unto Peter, put up thy sword unto the sheep, the
29:12
Speaker 1: cup which my father hath given me. Shall I not
29:15
Speaker 1: drink it? Then the band and the captain and the
29:18
Speaker 1: officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him and
29:21
Speaker 1: led him away to Annas first. And he was father-in-law
29:26
Speaker 1: to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.
29:29
Speaker 1: Come on. Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to
29:33
Speaker 1: the Jews that it was expedient that, watch this, that
29:37
Speaker 1: one man should die for the people. In other words,
29:42
Speaker 1: it's better to offer up Jesus than for the Romans
29:46
Speaker 1: to turn and kill us all. And he said one
29:48
Speaker 1: man will die for the people. But what Caiaphas didn't
29:52
Speaker 1: know is that he was prophesying that Jesus would die
29:56
Speaker 1: for the world. that God so loved the world that
30:00
Speaker 1: he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on
30:04
Speaker 1: him shall not perish but have everlasting life. The Lord
30:09
Speaker 1: told me to tell you the trouble you've been in
30:12
Speaker 1: is for a purpose. The pain you've been in is
30:15
Speaker 1: for a purpose. The nights you've cried is for a purpose.
30:19
Speaker 1: The loneliness you've been doing is for a purpose. God
30:23
Speaker 1: is bringing you to that point of transformation in your life.
30:28
Speaker 1: I want to talk to the people that have been
30:31
Speaker 1: in a dark place. I want to talk to the
30:33
Speaker 1: people who have been shut up and shut down and
30:37
Speaker 1: laying in the dark. And you wondered where was God?
30:40
Speaker 1: I want you to know that if you got in trouble,
30:43
Speaker 1: you're not in trouble by yourself. For the Bible said
30:47
Speaker 1: that God is a present help in the time of trouble.
30:51
Speaker 1: If you're in trouble, you got a praise that other
30:54
Speaker 1: people don't have. I want everybody that's been in trouble
30:58
Speaker 1: to give him the kind of praise that only people
31:01
Speaker 1: who've been in trouble know how to give God. Let's
31:17
Speaker 1: talk about Samson a minute. He is physically strong, but
31:21
Speaker 1: emotionally weak. His weakness allowed him to be captured by
31:26
Speaker 1: people that were weaker than himself. His weakness allowed him
31:33
Speaker 1: to be captured by people that were weaker than himself.
31:39
Speaker 1: He was a poor leader, but he was anointed. You
31:42
Speaker 1: can be both anointed and still have a deficit. Just
31:48
Speaker 1: because you're anointed doesn't mean you don't have a weakness.
31:52
Speaker 1: Just because you're anointed doesn't mean you don't have a problem.
31:55
Speaker 1: Just because you're anointed doesn't mean you don't get depressed sometimes.
31:59
Speaker 1: Just because you're anointed doesn't mean you don't go through
32:01
Speaker 1: emotional upheaval. Just because you're anointed doesn't mean you're not
32:06
Speaker 1: up under attack. Just because you're anointed doesn't mean that
32:09
Speaker 1: you don't have a deficit, something that you're not good at.
32:12
Speaker 1: I can be anointed to sing and bad at business.
32:16
Speaker 1: I can be anointed to do business, but bad at
32:19
Speaker 1: Bible study. You can be anointed in one place and
32:22
Speaker 1: a failure in another place. That's why you never get
32:25
Speaker 1: so high that you don't need God. The deficit will
32:29
Speaker 1: make you pray. A thorn in your flesh will make
32:32
Speaker 1: you pray, Paul. I'm not going to move the thorn
32:34
Speaker 1: out of your flesh to humble you. To keep you
32:38
Speaker 1: on your knees. And every now and then I'll let
32:40
Speaker 1: something hurt you. To bring you down. Not because you're
32:44
Speaker 1: not anointed. But because you are anointed. And the more
32:47
Speaker 1: anointed you are. The more hell you go through. Because
32:51
Speaker 1: God wants to bring you down to your knees. So
32:54
Speaker 1: that you can bear the weight of glory. Where are
32:57
Speaker 1: my anointed people? Back me up in here. Let's talk
33:05
Speaker 1: about Samson. He was brought down from a judge to
33:09
Speaker 1: a beast, to a beast in a prison grinding at
33:12
Speaker 1: the mill. How low do you have to go to
33:15
Speaker 1: make the change that is necessary to finish your divine purpose?
33:20
Speaker 1: All of us have had people in our lives that
33:22
Speaker 1: we wanted the best for them while they kept seeking
33:24
Speaker 1: the worst for themselves. No matter how much you want
33:28
Speaker 1: somebody to get up, they can't get up until they
33:31
Speaker 1: have reached an inflection point. It's hard to watch. It's
33:35
Speaker 1: painful to endure. It could be your parent. It could
33:38
Speaker 1: be your father. It could be your mother. It could
33:40
Speaker 1: be your daughter. It could be your son. But people
33:42
Speaker 1: can't get up until they've had enough of being down. See,
33:49
Speaker 1: many of you think that the inflection point for Samson
33:53
Speaker 1: was when he brought down the Colosseum. But if you
33:56
Speaker 1: think the inflection point was when he brought down the Coliseum,
33:58
Speaker 1: you are wrong. It was while he was in prison,
34:02
Speaker 1: in his dark place, that he said, wait a minute.
34:06
Speaker 1: I'm blind and I'm bound. I've gone as low as
34:10
Speaker 1: I care to go. If I ever get a chance
34:12
Speaker 1: to get out of this situation, I'm going to get
34:15
Speaker 1: double for my trouble. I'm going to avenge the enemy
34:19
Speaker 1: for what he's done for me. If the inflection point
34:22
Speaker 1: happens in the dark place, everybody who's seeking the spotlight
34:27
Speaker 1: doesn't understand the power of the dark place. Some people
34:30
Speaker 1: think that Christ got the victory on the cross, but
34:33
Speaker 1: I beg to differ with you. Christ got the victory
34:36
Speaker 1: in the garden of Gethsemane while his friends had fallen asleep.
34:41
Speaker 1: When he prayed till great drops of blood came through
34:44
Speaker 1: the pores of his skin. The transformation moment happens in
34:48
Speaker 1: your dark place, in your lonely place. Yea, though I
34:53
Speaker 1: walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I
34:55
Speaker 1: shall fear no evil for thou art with me. You're
34:59
Speaker 1: with me in the dark place. You're with me in
35:02
Speaker 1: the lonely place. You're with me when I'm out of money.
35:06
Speaker 1: You're with me when my friends fall asleep. You're with
35:09
Speaker 1: me when I'm being whipped. You're with me when I'm
35:12
Speaker 1: being crushed. It's what I am doing in my dark
35:15
Speaker 1: place that makes me anointed in my high place. If
35:19
Speaker 1: I don't break it in the garden, I can't perform
35:22
Speaker 1: it on the cross. But when Jesus got to praying,
35:25
Speaker 1: he told them, sleep on. It's already done. I don't
35:30
Speaker 1: know who I'm talking to, but whoever I'm talking to,
35:35
Speaker 1: you need to tell the devil it's already done. That
35:40
Speaker 1: last test I went through was my inflection point. That
35:45
Speaker 1: last tear I shed was my inflection point. That last
35:50
Speaker 1: debacle I went through was my inflection point. I may
35:54
Speaker 1: go through something else, but it'll never be that again.
35:58
Speaker 1: I made up my mind. I'm coming up and hell
36:02
Speaker 1: can't stop me. I'm coming up and the witch can't
36:06
Speaker 1: stop me. I'm coming up and the haters can't stop me.
36:10
Speaker 1: I'm coming up and my enemies can't stop me. Lord,
36:14
Speaker 1: I wish I could preach to somebody who'd reached an
36:17
Speaker 1: inflection point. Somebody who's tired. Somebody who's tired of the foolishness.
36:22
Speaker 1: Somebody who's tired of the instability. Somebody who's tired of
36:27
Speaker 1: the chaos that you made up in your mind. This
36:31
Speaker 1: time I'm not going back. Slap somebody and tell them
36:34
Speaker 1: I'm not going back. I'm not going back. I'm not
36:39
Speaker 1: going in that hole again. I'm not going in that
36:42
Speaker 1: prison again. When they brought Samson out, he made up
36:45
Speaker 1: in his mind, I'm not going back in that hole again.
36:49
Speaker 1: And he put his hands on his pillows and he
36:52
Speaker 1: began to push. Look at your neighbor and say, push.
36:57
Speaker 1: tight on the line and say I gotta push I'm
37:00
Speaker 1: close to my inflection point and if I push I'm
37:04
Speaker 1: gonna bring down the whole system that kept taking me
37:08
Speaker 1: up and down I'm gonna bring down the whole strategy
37:11
Speaker 1: that kept taking me up and down I feel a
37:14
Speaker 1: breakthrough I feel deliverance coming in this house. Somebody's going
37:19
Speaker 1: to bring the whole system down. The Bible said we
37:23
Speaker 1: have to deal with the wiles of the devil. The
37:26
Speaker 1: word wiles means the strategy of the enemy. The enemy
37:30
Speaker 1: has a strategy that he's always used to stop you
37:34
Speaker 1: from reaching your potential. But I decree and declare that
37:39
Speaker 1: his strategy is broken over your life. His strategy is
37:44
Speaker 1: broken over your finances. His strategy is broken over your mind.
37:50
Speaker 1: His strategy is broken over your praise. His strategy is
37:55
Speaker 1: broken over your revelation. His strategy is broken over your relationship.
38:00
Speaker 1: The strategy, the plot of the enemy... It's broken right
38:04
Speaker 1: now in the name of Jesus. You don't believe it
38:09
Speaker 1: because if you believed it, I wouldn't have to tell
38:12
Speaker 1: you to praise God. You don't believe it because if
38:15
Speaker 1: you believed it, I wouldn't have to tell you to
38:17
Speaker 1: clap your hands. You don't believe it because if you
38:21
Speaker 1: really believed it, I wouldn't tell you to leap for joy.
38:24
Speaker 1: The struggle is over. The yoke is broken. The enemy
38:29
Speaker 1: is destroyed. Somebody better get my coattail. I feel like
38:34
Speaker 1: preaching this morning. I feel like preaching. I feel like
38:38
Speaker 1: preaching this morning. I feel it in the air. This
38:41
Speaker 1: is the moment. This is the point. This is the
38:45
Speaker 1: point of no return. This is the point of breakthrough.
38:49
Speaker 1: Somebody give God a crazy praise in this place. Give
38:54
Speaker 1: him a praise. Give him a praise. Give him a praise.
38:59
Speaker 1: This is your inflection point. Everything that's been chasing you
39:04
Speaker 1: is about to break loose. Everything that's been on you
39:07
Speaker 1: is about to come off. Everything that's been pulling you
39:10
Speaker 1: back is about to break off of your life. The
39:14
Speaker 1: gravitational pull of your past is about to be broken.
39:18
Speaker 1: You're about to break the pull and come into a
39:21
Speaker 1: change where you're going straight up into If I was
39:25
Speaker 1: my young self, I'd tell you, get ready, get ready,
39:28
Speaker 1: get ready. Get ready, get ready, get ready. You're getting
39:32
Speaker 1: ready to go up. And when you go up, nobody
39:36
Speaker 1: can reach where God is about to put you. Whoever
39:39
Speaker 1: I'm preaching to, praise him like you lost your mind.
39:43
Speaker 1: Praise him like you escaped the gravity. Praise him like
39:46
Speaker 1: you've gone to another dimension. Praise him like the whole
39:49
Speaker 1: system has come down and your enemy has become your footstool.
39:55
Speaker 1: You're going to step over the rubble. You're going to
39:57
Speaker 1: step into your destiny. I feel a deliverance in this place.
40:03
Speaker 1: I feel a deliverance in this place. I feel a
40:07
Speaker 1: release in this place. I feel a breakthrough. In this place,
40:13
Speaker 1: somebody's chains just came off your feet. You can move again.
40:19
Speaker 1: You can dance again. You can leap again. I dare
40:24
Speaker 1: you to open your mouth and give God the... Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes.
40:42
Speaker 1: It's me, Lord. I'm loose. It's me, Lord. I'm free.
40:48
Speaker 1: It's me, Lord. Strengthen me one more time. Strengthen me.
40:55
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring it down. I'm going to bring
40:57
Speaker 1: it down with a praise. And the whole Coliseum came
41:03
Speaker 1: tumbling down. Everybody that's been fighting a system, I want
41:07
Speaker 1: you to give them a praise until you bring it down.
41:11
Speaker 1: And I want you to praise them right now until
41:15
Speaker 1: the whole system comes down. Down. Bring it down. Are
41:22
Speaker 1: you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?
41:27
Speaker 1: I'm going to count to three. And when I get
41:30
Speaker 1: to three, everything that ever made you fluctuate, I want
41:34
Speaker 1: you to bring it down. Are you ready? One. Enough
41:40
Speaker 1: is enough. I'm tired of the foolishness. I've got to
41:44
Speaker 1: change my life. I'm getting too old for this foolishness.
41:47
Speaker 1: I'm getting too old to go through the second stuff
41:50
Speaker 1: over and over again. Two, there's enough anointing in this
41:55
Speaker 1: room that if I gather this anointing, I can break
41:58
Speaker 1: it once and for all. Are you ready? Three. Bring
42:12
Speaker 1: it down. Bring it down. Bring it down. Bring it down.
42:21
Speaker 1: Bring it down. Gotta come down. Gotta come down. Gotta
42:35
Speaker 1: come down. Gotta come down. Gotta come down. Gotta come down.
42:40
Speaker 1: Gotta come down. Gotta come down. Gotta come down. Gotta
42:46
Speaker 1: come down. Gotta come down. It's gotta come down. The
42:51
Speaker 1: whole thing has gotta come down. God told me to
42:55
Speaker 1: tell you, the whole thing can come down. You gonna
42:59
Speaker 1: have to put your back into it. You gonna have
43:02
Speaker 1: to put your weight on it. You gonna have to
43:04
Speaker 1: open up your mouth and speak against it. But the
43:06
Speaker 1: entire system... It's gonna come down. The entire system... It's
43:19
Speaker 1: gonna come down. The entire... The entire system... It's gotta
43:28
Speaker 1: come down. It's gotta come down. It's been tormenting you.
43:35
Speaker 1: It's gotta come down. It's been disturbing you. It's gotta
43:40
Speaker 1: come down. It's been limiting you. It's gotta come down.
43:45
Speaker 1: It's gotta come down. Your mama can't do it. Your
43:49
Speaker 1: daddy can't do it. Your bishop can't do it. You've
43:53
Speaker 1: got to do this. Put your weight on it and
43:57
Speaker 1: bring it down. Once and for all. It's got to
44:03
Speaker 1: come down. As I come to the close. As I
44:09
Speaker 1: come to the close. As I come to the close
44:14
Speaker 1: of this message. The greatest point of the text is
44:19
Speaker 1: not when the Coliseum came down. The inflection point came
44:26
Speaker 1: when they put him in prison and he's grinding at
44:29
Speaker 1: the mill and he's coming to himself. I read it,
44:35
Speaker 1: but I must have read over it. The Bible said
44:38
Speaker 1: in the dark of the prison, his hair, his hair
44:49
Speaker 1: began to grow back. Not on the stage. Not in
44:54
Speaker 1: the light. Not in success. But while he was at
44:59
Speaker 1: his low place, his hair began to grow back. You
45:04
Speaker 1: do your best growing in your worst moments. You do
45:12
Speaker 1: your best growing in your dark place. In your prison place.
45:19
Speaker 1: So that when God brings you to the stage, they
45:23
Speaker 1: may be laughing at first. But when they see the
45:32
Speaker 1: inflection point that God is going to do in your life,
45:40
Speaker 1: it's going to blow their mind. Imagine a up that
45:47
Speaker 1: didn't go down. Then hear me. I'm going to tell you.
45:53
Speaker 1: Imagine and up. Jesus got up from the grave to
46:08
Speaker 1: die no more. Joseph became the prince of Egypt and
46:14
Speaker 1: never went down again. Job got double for his trouble
46:22
Speaker 1: and never got attacked again. There is an up that
46:35
Speaker 1: never comes down. I'm going to go a little bit deeper.
46:41
Speaker 1: Some of you are in it now, but you don't
46:44
Speaker 1: trust it because you are so used to To this.
46:51
Speaker 1: That when God gives you an inflection point, you going up,
46:55
Speaker 1: but you brace for it to fail. God said, believe me.
47:08
Speaker 1: This isn't up. This isn't up. This isn't up. that
47:18
Speaker 1: will not, it will not come down. All of that
47:27
Speaker 1: other stuff was preparation. All of that struggle was preparation
47:36
Speaker 1: so that you would develop appreciation for your inflection point.
47:43
Speaker 1: This is the point. of your inflection. The weird thing
47:48
Speaker 1: about this service, I got all kind of pastors in
47:56
Speaker 1: this room who didn't know each other were coming. Said,
48:04
Speaker 1: we're just going to get away and spend a service
48:07
Speaker 1: with you. Not knowing that of all the Sundays, they
48:12
Speaker 1: picked the same Sundays. You got to believe that God
48:20
Speaker 1: knew that you as a leader needed to hear this word,
48:38
Speaker 1: this particular word. Next Sunday wouldn't have worked. Last Sunday
48:42
Speaker 1: when the Lord, this particular word, speaks to who God
48:46
Speaker 1: is going to pay you for all that time you
48:50
Speaker 1: spent in the dark place. that you preached in the
48:54
Speaker 1: dark place, that you prayed for people in the dark place,
48:57
Speaker 1: that you ministered to people in the dark place, that
49:00
Speaker 1: you felt empty and isolated, alone, and you wondered, would
49:03
Speaker 1: your hair ever grow back? You've got to believe that
49:08
Speaker 1: because of your consistency, up under fire, up under attack,
49:12
Speaker 1: in pain, in loneliness, in despair, that God brought you
49:16
Speaker 1: here to tell you that this right here... this right here, preacher,
49:23
Speaker 1: this move right here is an inflection point. It's an
49:31
Speaker 1: inflection point. Church faith, it's an inflection point. It's a shift.
49:41
Speaker 1: It's an inflection point. Do you hear what I'm saying
49:45
Speaker 1: to you? Dr. Jill, it's an inflection point. You will
49:49
Speaker 1: never go back to being who you were before. Your
49:52
Speaker 1: practice will never be what it was before. This is
49:59
Speaker 1: an inflection point. Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
50:02
Speaker 1: I decree and declare. My brother, this is an inflection point.
50:09
Speaker 1: You can't run from it. You can't hide from it.
50:12
Speaker 1: You can't negotiate about it. Where God is getting ready
50:16
Speaker 1: to shift you, this is an up that won't go down.
50:20
Speaker 1: You can't go down. Your spirit can't rest in down.
50:24
Speaker 1: Your soul gets irritated in down because God is calling
50:28
Speaker 1: you up and whatever gravitational pull that was pulling you back,
50:33
Speaker 1: it can't hold you. You're about to break out of
50:36
Speaker 1: the gravitational pull of your past Queen Mother this is
50:45
Speaker 1: this is this is it's an inflection point I prophesy
50:53
Speaker 1: to every one of you I prophesy to every one
51:00
Speaker 1: of you that this is an inflection point a shift
51:06
Speaker 1: is coming Out of your dark place, out of your
51:11
Speaker 1: dismal place, an inflection point is coming. Those of you
51:15
Speaker 1: that came in late, I'm glad to see you. The
51:18
Speaker 1: devil didn't want you to get here, but you fought
51:20
Speaker 1: him back and you made it into the room because
51:23
Speaker 1: this is your inflection point. Every one of you that
51:26
Speaker 1: logged online, this is a word-induced season. After you suffered
51:32
Speaker 1: a while, after you suffered a while after you've been
51:40
Speaker 1: up and down and up and down and up and
51:42
Speaker 1: down and up and down God said I will establish
51:45
Speaker 1: you and I will make you complete this is an
51:52
Speaker 1: inflection point I want everybody who receives this word to
51:57
Speaker 1: open lift your hands and open your mouth and receive
52:02
Speaker 1: the word of the Lord Receive it. Receive it. Receive
52:10
Speaker 1: it for your house. Receive it for your business. Receive
52:14
Speaker 1: it for your finances. Receive it for your property. Receive
52:17
Speaker 1: it for your spirit. This is an inflection point. Put
52:22
Speaker 1: that doubt out. Put the doubt out. Put the doubt out.
52:25
Speaker 1: Put the doubt out. This is an inflection point. This is...
52:33
Speaker 1: an inflection point. This is the praise that kills 3,000
52:40
Speaker 1: of your enemies. This is the praise that's going to
52:44
Speaker 1: shut up the mouth of the people that's been laughing.
52:48
Speaker 1: This is the deliverance that the Lord brought you here
52:53
Speaker 1: to get. Some came all the way from Arizona. Some
52:58
Speaker 1: came all the way from Uganda. Some came all the
53:01
Speaker 1: way from North Dallas. Some came all the way from Houston.
53:05
Speaker 1: But we all came to eat this same bread. This
53:08
Speaker 1: is a... Dr. Phillips, this is a significant word. This
53:15
Speaker 1: is an inflection point. The you you are becoming has
53:20
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the you you were. This is...
53:27
Speaker 1: an inflection point. God is going to lift you up
53:48
Speaker 1: to a place where all can see his glory. in
53:58
Speaker 1: your life. I know you've been inconsistent. I know you've
54:02
Speaker 1: been unstable. I know that you had strengths and weaknesses
54:06
Speaker 1: fighting for territory all at the same time. I know
54:10
Speaker 1: that you've been powerful in public and wrestled at home.
54:16
Speaker 1: But the Lord told me to tell you, this is
54:19
Speaker 1: an inflection point. This is a moment that changes the
54:26
Speaker 1: trajectory Of every other moment you ever had in your life.
54:31
Speaker 1: You had to deal with your devils. You had to
54:36
Speaker 1: fight through your issues. You had to hold on through
54:40
Speaker 1: the inconsistencies. You had to be instant in season and
54:43
Speaker 1: out of season. But God is bringing you out of seasons.
54:49
Speaker 1: Y'all don't hear what I'm talking about. God is bringing
54:55
Speaker 1: you out of seasons.
