Speaker 1: My wife lost her mother several years ago. As she
0:04
Speaker 1: lost her mother, she went into grief. It affected me.
0:09
Speaker 1: It wasn't my mother, but it affected me. When I
0:11
Speaker 1: lost my mother, it affected her. When we lost our mother,
0:15
Speaker 1: it affected the kids. Because everything connected to you is
0:18
Speaker 1: affected by any shift. Greetings, brothers and sisters, in the
0:29
Speaker 1: name of the Lord. One of my favorite messages, one
0:32
Speaker 1: of my greatest teachings, I believe, is repositioning yourself. So
0:36
Speaker 1: many people get stuck in one stage and they think
0:39
Speaker 1: that all they can ever be is all that they
0:42
Speaker 1: ever were. Well, we are in the business of redemption
0:46
Speaker 1: and restoration and renewal. You know what all of those
0:49
Speaker 1: words have in common? The re- prefix in front of it.
0:53
Speaker 1: You can reposition yourself. You can rise from the ashes
0:57
Speaker 1: of disparity. You can recreate your career. You can change
1:01
Speaker 1: your credit report. You can change your relationship. You can
1:03
Speaker 1: change what you don't lack. Reposition yourself. It's a tool
1:08
Speaker 1: you need to reposture yourself so that you can have
1:12
Speaker 1: a positive end.
1:13
Speaker 2: Now get this material. Get it in your heart. Get
1:16
Speaker 2: it in your head.
1:17
Speaker 1: And get ready to go into your phone booth and
1:20
Speaker 1: come out Superman as you reposition yourself.
1:26
Speaker 2: There is a.
1:30
Speaker 1: Shift that God has ordained for your life. That if
1:39
Speaker 1: you can embrace the things that I'm getting ready to
1:41
Speaker 1: share and bring your life into alignment with God's purpose
1:46
Speaker 1: and plan, there's going to be a shifting and a
1:50
Speaker 1: repositioning I want to start talking to you. I just
1:55
Speaker 1: want to broach the conversation about repositioning. Everything in your
2:00
Speaker 1: life is shifting into alignment. God is going to do
2:11
Speaker 1: something awesome in your life.
2:13
Speaker 2: Father, thank you. Oh, God.
2:16
Speaker 1: Thank you for what I feel right now. Thank you
2:19
Speaker 1: for the surging of the Holy Spirit that I feel
2:22
Speaker 1: permeating through my body.
2:23
Speaker 2: I thank you for what you're going to do.
2:26
Speaker 1: Bless your word as it comes forth out of my
2:29
Speaker 1: mouth today. In Christ's name, amen. You may be seated
2:34
Speaker 1: in the presence of the Lord.
2:41
Speaker 2: About....
2:45
Speaker 1: About nine months ago, I won't call a brother's name,
2:51
Speaker 1: but he's here. One of the brothers in the church
2:54
Speaker 1: was over my house, and we were exercising together and
3:01
Speaker 1: running sprints. I'm not even going to look in that direction. Now,
3:11
Speaker 1: he's old, but I'm older. And I haven't run sprints
3:17
Speaker 1: since I was in high school. But we're out running sprints.
3:21
Speaker 1: And the problem with me was I was running the
3:23
Speaker 1: sprints in a.
3:25
Speaker 2: Pair of Jordans. They look good.
3:34
Speaker 1: But those of you that run understand there's no support
3:37
Speaker 1: in them. Not for running. And I'm running. 20 years ago,
3:43
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have mattered. But at this stage in my life,
3:47
Speaker 1: brother needs a little support. Especially when you're coming down
3:51
Speaker 1: with a substantial amount of weight. And your arches, as
3:58
Speaker 1: you get older, relax. And if there's not anything up
4:01
Speaker 1: under them, long story short, I pulled a tendon in
4:06
Speaker 1: my foot. I pulled a tendon in my foot. Foot swole,
4:11
Speaker 1: ankle swole, everything swole. The stage was swollen for quite
4:15
Speaker 1: some time. And I was preaching, just like I normally do,
4:22
Speaker 1: in tremendous pain. But I never let on that I
4:26
Speaker 1: was in pain. Because I'm wired like that. So when
4:32
Speaker 1: the news finished and it was my time to walk
4:35
Speaker 1: across the stage, I was walking across the stage, but
4:37
Speaker 1: my whole body was wracked with pain. Everywhere I went,
4:41
Speaker 1: I was wracked with pain for days. for weeks and
4:44
Speaker 1: then months of pain because of this foot. Now, being
4:48
Speaker 1: a tenacious individual, a relentless individual, I refused to succumb
4:54
Speaker 1: to the pain and sit down. So I kept going anyway.
4:58
Speaker 2: Strong. Survived it.
5:06
Speaker 1: Foot started getting better. It was my right foot. All
5:11
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the left side of my body went out.
5:19
Speaker 2: Vertebrae pinched.
5:22
Speaker 1: Pain riveting through my sciatic, shooting down my leg. And
5:27
Speaker 1: the doctor says to me that I finally went to see.
5:36
Speaker 1: He says, when you pull your tendon in your right foot,
5:42
Speaker 1: To compensate for the pain, you overwork your left side. Well,
5:46
Speaker 1: when you overwork your left side, you throw your spine
5:51
Speaker 1: out of balance and pinch your vertebrae in at least
5:55
Speaker 1: two places. And he said, over the next few weeks,
6:02
Speaker 1: I'm going to work with you to retrain your body
6:09
Speaker 1: To reposition itself because right now your body doesn't know
6:11
Speaker 1: what to do. It doesn't know where to put the weight.
6:14
Speaker 1: And in the process of the shift, you've torn some things.
6:25
Speaker 1: Change hurts. I'm still recovering to be honest with you.
6:37
Speaker 1: from a pain that left me incapacitated that was brought
6:43
Speaker 1: about by a.
6:44
Speaker 2: Change on the inside.
6:47
Speaker 1: And now every part of my body is trying to
6:52
Speaker 1: figure out how to line up with the shift. Anytime
7:02
Speaker 1: you move anything that is interdependent upon everything, it affects
7:09
Speaker 1: all parts of the body because the body is interconnected.
7:17
Speaker 2: Your life is like my body.
7:23
Speaker 1: When anything moves, it will throw everything out of alignment
7:31
Speaker 1: and it takes a while to realign Once the change
7:36
Speaker 1: has occurred, anything, death, a death, a sickness, a job change,
7:47
Speaker 1: a change in marital status, an emotional, anytime anything moves,
7:53
Speaker 1: it affects everything. My wife lost her mother several years ago.
7:59
Speaker 1: As she lost her mother, as she went into grief,
8:02
Speaker 1: it affected me. It wasn't my mother, but it affected me.
8:07
Speaker 1: When I lost my mother, it affected her. When we
8:10
Speaker 1: lost our mother, it affected the kids. Because everything connected
8:13
Speaker 1: to you is affected by any shift that occurs in
8:20
Speaker 1: your life. Now the problem is, I'm doing good. When
8:24
Speaker 1: I said something about my back, I started getting all
8:25
Speaker 1: kinds of recipes from people. Take apple cider with cinnamon
8:29
Speaker 1: in it and spice and sprinkle it on your back
8:33
Speaker 1: with some grits and I got enough home remedies. Okay,
8:39
Speaker 1: I'm okay. I'm okay. But I'm using this metaphorically to
8:44
Speaker 1: say that anytime there's a shift, it's taken me a
8:49
Speaker 1: long time for my foot is fine now, but my
8:54
Speaker 1: spine is still trying to figure out how to appropriate
8:58
Speaker 1: the weight from the shift. What is happening is Through
9:05
Speaker 1: the doctor and chiropractor and prayer and olive oil and
9:10
Speaker 1: Epsom salt and green alcohol and smelling sauce and talking
9:16
Speaker 1: in tongues and everything else. Because I can't quit. I
9:20
Speaker 1: got to keep going pain or not. My body's trying
9:25
Speaker 1: to figure out how do I adjust to where you
9:31
Speaker 1: are now? Suddenly I realized maybe it wasn't my foot
9:38
Speaker 1: that caused this misalignment. But maybe God was using my
9:43
Speaker 1: body to deepen in my spirit a full understanding of
9:48
Speaker 1: what it means to be repositioned.
9:53
Speaker 2: In your life.
9:55
Speaker 3: Still to come on the Potter's Touch.
9:57
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that not being the preferred
10:00
Speaker 1: sister or the preferred brother, that now that you're an adult,
10:07
Speaker 1: 40 years old, that you would still be wincing as
10:11
Speaker 1: a man from something that happened when you were a kid.
10:52
Speaker 1: Before you can deal with repositioning, you have to understand
10:54
Speaker 1: that many of us were not positioned correctly in the
10:58
Speaker 1: first place.
11:01
Speaker 2: Okay.
11:03
Speaker 1: Our circumstances and situations did not lend itself to us
11:07
Speaker 1: being successful. Either spiritually, academically, financially, in any area of
11:13
Speaker 1: our lives, many of us were not raised in an
11:16
Speaker 1: ideal circumstance that prepared us for where we really wanted
11:21
Speaker 1: to go. And even though we love the idea of
11:27
Speaker 1: being progressive or prospering or intelligent or spiritual, the reality
11:33
Speaker 1: is we were not aligned in the direction that we
11:36
Speaker 1: needed to be aligned to go to where we're trying
11:39
Speaker 1: to go. So every time we keep trying to move
11:43
Speaker 1: toward the voice of faith that we hear, we start
11:48
Speaker 1: experiencing pain Because we're not, we were not aligned right
11:56
Speaker 1: to respond to what we're being taught. So you've heard
12:02
Speaker 1: the saying, you can take the girl out of the country,
12:04
Speaker 1: but you can't take the country out of the girl.
12:06
Speaker 1: What it basically means is I could take somebody from
12:11
Speaker 1: Shaka Waka. I'm scared to name any city because I'm
12:17
Speaker 1: going to hit somebody no matter.
12:18
Speaker 2: What I name. Shaka Walk County.
12:21
Speaker 1: And I can bring them into a pristine, cultured environment.
12:26
Speaker 1: But putting you in an environment that you have not
12:28
Speaker 1: been positioned for is going to cause discomfort. And you
12:32
Speaker 1: are apt to destroy the opportunity because you have not
12:35
Speaker 1: been groomed for what has been given. Sometimes we have
12:40
Speaker 1: prayed and asked God to give us things. That we
12:44
Speaker 1: have not been positioned to handle. And it's not that
12:48
Speaker 1: God said no. But he had to completely realign you.
12:54
Speaker 1: to bring you into a position to receive something that
12:57
Speaker 1: you prayed for 10 years ago, you are just now
13:01
Speaker 1: coming into an enough alignment to receive what God has
13:05
Speaker 1: for you. He had to crack some things. He had
13:07
Speaker 1: to move some things. He had to relocate some things.
13:10
Speaker 1: He had to expose you to different kinds of people.
13:13
Speaker 1: He had to let you go through a series of failure.
13:15
Speaker 1: He had to humble you. He had to break you down.
13:19
Speaker 1: He had to show you that your way wasn't the
13:20
Speaker 1: best way. And now after years of pain, And heartache
13:24
Speaker 1: and misfortune and trouble and turmoil and confusion. You are
13:28
Speaker 1: just now coming to a place of being ready to
13:32
Speaker 1: be repositioned to receive something that you shouted about 10
13:36
Speaker 1: years ago. And nobody knows that for the last 10
13:42
Speaker 1: years you've been walking with a limp. Dealing with the pain.
13:48
Speaker 1: Crying yourself to sleep. wiping tears out of your face
13:52
Speaker 1: while you're driving to work, smiling in front of people
13:55
Speaker 1: and groaning inside of your soul because you're struggling between
13:59
Speaker 1: the person you want to be and the person you are.
14:10
Speaker 1: And that's why I love God. I love God. I
14:16
Speaker 1: love him because only God knows Where to crack you.
14:23
Speaker 1: Where to break you. Where to put pressure on you.
14:28
Speaker 1: What series of treatments to take you through to bring
14:31
Speaker 1: you to the place. And the weird thing about the
14:34
Speaker 1: physician that's been working on me, he has to do
14:37
Speaker 1: it like twice a week. Because when they first start
14:41
Speaker 1: bringing you back into alignment, you're really good for about
14:44
Speaker 1: a day. But then your body goes back into the familiar.
14:50
Speaker 1: And it's a matter of retraining the body to accept
14:54
Speaker 1: a new normal. God knows exactly what to take out
15:03
Speaker 1: of your life. Who to bring into your life. What
15:08
Speaker 1: to shift in your life. To bring you into alignment
15:11
Speaker 1: for what he is about to do in your life.
15:15
Speaker 1: And I know you've lost a lot of time. And
15:23
Speaker 1: now comes the panic of being off schedule. Because now
15:29
Speaker 1: you start to realize.
15:31
Speaker 2: All.
15:31
Speaker 1: Of these years and I still have not attained what
15:35
Speaker 1: I really wanted to attain.
15:37
Speaker 2: In my life. And I am running out of time.
15:48
Speaker 1: With the feeling of running out of time comes anxiety, fear, pressure.
15:56
Speaker 1: Some people handle it different ways. Some people try to
15:59
Speaker 1: be what they are not. Some people try to snuff
16:02
Speaker 1: out everybody around them who's becoming what you wish you were.
16:08
Speaker 1: Envy and jealousy, depression and eating disorders and habits and
16:12
Speaker 1: addictions all come to help us cope with all of
16:16
Speaker 1: these issues where we are not progressing as well as
16:18
Speaker 1: we thought because we are running out of time. And
16:23
Speaker 1: the reason that I wanted to read to you about
16:26
Speaker 1: Manasseh and Ephraim is because these boys... who should not
16:31
Speaker 1: have been heirs this early, through a divine act of
16:38
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, are now brought from the back of
16:43
Speaker 1: the line to the front of the line to receive
16:47
Speaker 1: a blessing that technically they shouldn't have been able to
16:51
Speaker 1: receive this early because God has decided to do a
16:56
Speaker 1: quick work.
16:58
Speaker 2: In their life. I don't know what this means to you.
17:03
Speaker 1: I don't know how this translates into what's going on
17:05
Speaker 1: in your life. But to many of you, what I
17:08
Speaker 1: hope you are starting to understand is that if you
17:11
Speaker 1: will allow God to do some shifting in this season
17:15
Speaker 1: in your life, it will not take you long to
17:20
Speaker 1: come into alignment for what God is going to do
17:24
Speaker 1: in your life. But God is going to do a
17:27
Speaker 1: quick work in your life in spite of the original
17:32
Speaker 1: injury that started this problem in the first place. God
17:36
Speaker 1: is going to snap some things into place in your
17:40
Speaker 1: life that's going to reposition you and bring you into alignment.
17:46
Speaker 2: And the best is yet to come.
17:53
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that something as simple as
17:56
Speaker 1: a tennis shoe would end up causing so much pain?
18:05
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that something as simple as
18:10
Speaker 1: an absent father.
18:19
Speaker 2: Would have cost so many years.
18:23
Speaker 1: Of excruciating pain in non-related areas. Who would have ever
18:31
Speaker 1: thought that not being the preferred sister or the preferred brother,
18:38
Speaker 1: that now that you're an adult, 40 years old, that
18:42
Speaker 1: you would still be wincing as a man from something
18:47
Speaker 1: that happened when you were a kid.
18:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
18:53
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that the rejection of a
18:55
Speaker 1: first boyfriend or a date rape when you were a
18:59
Speaker 1: girl would be affecting you on your second marriage? The
19:09
Speaker 1: Bible said that it is the little foxes that destroy
19:15
Speaker 1: the vine. It's not always big stuff.
19:19
Speaker 2: It's little stuff. See, you have to understand.
19:21
Speaker 1: When I looked around and my back went out, I
19:23
Speaker 1: couldn't get out of the bed to turn in my sleep.
19:27
Speaker 1: Woke me up in the middle of the night. The
19:28
Speaker 1: pain was so bad, it was hard not to scream
19:31
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the night. I'm not talking
19:33
Speaker 1: about a little bit of pain. I am not a
19:35
Speaker 1: wimp of a person. I can deal with some stuff.
19:40
Speaker 1: But there I am at 3 o'clock in the morning
19:42
Speaker 1: biting my lip. to keep from screaming out in pain
19:45
Speaker 1: because I turned in my sleep and the pain woke
19:48
Speaker 1: me up. Five months after a little incident. The incident
19:56
Speaker 1: is over. But the after effects... The effects of not
20:06
Speaker 1: being prepared for what I was getting ready to do,
20:09
Speaker 1: the effects of not stretching properly, the effects of not
20:13
Speaker 1: being geared up for what I was about to do,
20:15
Speaker 1: the effects of stepping into a situation for which I
20:18
Speaker 1: was not prepared left me with months of pain because
20:23
Speaker 1: the preparation did not match up with the process. Now,
20:30
Speaker 1: you know that I didn't bring you out here this
20:32
Speaker 1: morning to talk about running Except you're running a race.
20:41
Speaker 2: Called life.
20:43
Speaker 1: And many of you didn't start out with the right equipment.
20:49
Speaker 1: You didn't have the support for the race. And when
20:54
Speaker 1: you don't have the support for something, it will really
20:56
Speaker 1: throw you out of a line. And being thrown out
21:01
Speaker 1: of a line affects how you deal with everything else.
21:07
Speaker 2: The rest of your life.
21:11
Speaker 1: In the second half of your life, number one, you
21:13
Speaker 1: have to separate what was purpose.
21:17
Speaker 2: From fodder.
21:19
Speaker 1: What really, you were really meant to do from all
21:23
Speaker 1: of the things that people put in your life that
21:26
Speaker 1: you really weren't meant to do in the first place
21:29
Speaker 1: so that you can focus to make the second half
21:32
Speaker 1: of your life the most effective. That means at some
21:38
Speaker 1: point in your life, you have to say, you know what?
21:41
Speaker 1: That wasn't for me anyway. And I was never meant
21:45
Speaker 1: to do that anyway. And this was something that my
21:49
Speaker 1: mother put on me. And this was something that my
21:51
Speaker 1: father wanted. And this is something that my friends wanted.
21:54
Speaker 1: This is something I tried to do to keep up
21:56
Speaker 1: with my brothers and sisters. But this right here, I
21:59
Speaker 1: was born.
22:00
Speaker 2: To do that. I was created to do that.
22:03
Speaker 1: And so on the second half, I'm going to focus
22:07
Speaker 1: and reposition my efforts from all of the distractions that
22:12
Speaker 1: divided my focus so that I can have complete alignment
22:16
Speaker 1: and be prepared to make the second half the best half.
22:24
Speaker 1: I tried to beat it, but there are some things
22:28
Speaker 1: only age can teach you. Read all the books. Get
22:35
Speaker 1: hands laid on you. Anoint yourself with oil. Talk in tongues.
22:38
Speaker 1: Pray in the Holy Ghost. Don't eat chicken. Don't eat rabbits.
22:41
Speaker 2: Walk backwards.
22:42
Speaker 1: Stand on one foot. Bounce around on your head. But
22:45
Speaker 1: inevitably there are certain things that only time can teach you.
22:51
Speaker 1: Jacob is now an old man. He's learned some stuff.
22:57
Speaker 1: He's done some crazy things. He's made some mistakes. He's
23:01
Speaker 1: been wild. He's been frivolous. He's been irresponsible. He's been crazy.
23:05
Speaker 1: He's been untrustworthy. He's been unpredictable and he survived it.
23:08
Speaker 1: He's gone through a transformation to find out who he was.
23:12
Speaker 1: From Jacob to Israel, he has in the process of
23:16
Speaker 1: wrestling with God found out who he was and then
23:19
Speaker 1: spent the second half of his life trying to make
23:22
Speaker 1: what he found out materialize.
23:25
Speaker 2: In his life.
23:26
Speaker 1: And even as he gets ready to die, there is
23:28
Speaker 1: still some flipping in the text between Jacob and Israel. Hey,
23:35
Speaker 1: we got to stop right there, but we'll be right
23:36
Speaker 1: back right after this.
23:38
Speaker 3: Learn to reposition your life with Bishop Jake's latest message.
23:42
Speaker 1: If you will allow God to do some shifting in
23:46
Speaker 1: this season in your life, it will not take you
23:49
Speaker 1: long to come into alignment for what God is going
23:54
Speaker 1: to do in your life. But God is going to
23:58
Speaker 1: do a quick work in your life. In spite of
24:02
Speaker 1: the original injury that started this problem in the first place,
24:08
Speaker 1: God is going to snap some things into place in
24:11
Speaker 1: your life that's going to reposition you and bring you
24:15
Speaker 1: into alignment and the best.

26:28
Speaker 1: All the way down to the grave, we are seeing
26:31
Speaker 1: both people showing up in his life. One moment he's
26:34
Speaker 1: acting like Jacob, the next moment he's acting like Israel.
26:37
Speaker 1: One moment Jacob is in tears, the next moment Israel
26:40
Speaker 1: is standing by faith. One moment Jacob is getting ready
26:43
Speaker 1: to die, the next moment Israel sat up in the
26:46
Speaker 1: bed and strengthened. Have you ever had your divine self
26:49
Speaker 1: sit up in the bed and strengthen your dying self
26:53
Speaker 1: and say, wait a minute, God didn't bring you this far.
26:57
Speaker 2: To leave you.
26:58
Speaker 1: Have you ever been ready to give up and then
27:00

27:04
Speaker 1: the bed?

27:14
Speaker 2: on and on.

27:23
Speaker 1: if you will, of the complexities that we all face
27:26
Speaker 1: As life changes and circumstances change and we find ourselves
27:29
Speaker 1: in a need to reposition ourselves, many, many times we
27:33
Speaker 1: do not lend ourselves toward the idea of being flexible.
27:36
Speaker 1: We have a propensity to become stuck, to become a monument,
27:41
Speaker 1: when in fact we ought to be fluid and become
27:44
Speaker 1: a movement. If you reposition yourself, you could change your
27:48
Speaker 1: circumstance completely, ratify those areas that are reflecting failure and
27:53
Speaker 1: turn them into victory. But you've got to be flexible.
27:57
Speaker 2: To reposition yourself.

Speaker 1: I pray you get this word into your heart and
28:00
Speaker 1: into your spirit and study it. It's very practical information,

28:11
Speaker 1: the flexibility called change.
28:15
Speaker 2: What better place to talk about change than church? God
28:19
Speaker 2: bless you.
28:21
Speaker 1: Have a good one. This is the part of studying
