  Speaker 1: The only thing you have to do to get out
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of the situation you're in right now is change your mind.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: As a mind thinketh in his heart, so is he.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And the moment you change your mind, can't nobody hold
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you down. This is a change of mindset. The reason
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you've been in the same spot so long is that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: your mind keeps drifting to your ankles. And your mind
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is on your ankles when God is trying to get
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you to stretch forth your hands. If you're not going
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to use it, why would God give it to you?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And so he designed it that if you didn't use
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it by a certain time, the worms would eat it
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: up because you were forbidden from hoarding yesterday's bread for
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: today's battle. And as they were joining through the wilderness,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the closer they got to the promised land, there is
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a small, minute phrase in the text that I started
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to pull up, but you can look it up whenever
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you want to. It's a simple little sentence, but it
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: has great impact. It has the force of a sledgehammer.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It says, and then the manna ceased. What do you do?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: When what used to work doesn't work anymore. What do
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you do when you have gotten used to a system
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that God has abruptly halted? There was no warning. There
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was no prophecy. There was no preparation. Without any warning
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: at all, it just stopped. Stopped. And some of us
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: think that we have lost the favor of God because
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: what used to work isn't working anymore. And the manna
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: ceased and Moses died. And And they cried at the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: bottom of the mountain because everything that they had become
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: accustomed to had been disrupted. I want to preach to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: somebody in this room that everything that you were accustomed
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to has been disrupted too. And now you have to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: move forward without any playbook, without any rules, without any guarantees,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: without any certainties. If you take another step, you got
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to take it by faith because the manna has ceased
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and the Moses is dead, but the movement continues. What
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: do you do when you got to keep movement? You
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: got to keep movement, but Moses is dead. You got
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to keep movement, but the manna has ceased. And Joshua,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: almost as if it were a footnote at the bottom
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of an elaborate literary work, says, prepare your victuals. This
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is a revolutionary idea to people who only had to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: gather their food. Now God says, I won't make it
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: happen anymore without you. I will require your investment in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your provision. You have gone as far as you can
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: go off of my charity. Your next meal is going
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to require your involvement. Oh, I don't know if you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: ready for this. I don't know if you're ready for this.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ready for this. I am
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: taking you from being dependent to being interdependent. I'm weaning
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you from easy. I know you wrote books on how
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it works. I know you wrote 12 Steps to a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Blessed in a Dry Place. I know you wrote all
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: kinds of books about water coming out of rocks. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: know you wrote books about me lifting up serpents in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. I know you wrote a lot of books
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: about a lot of stuff. But I'm changing the playbook.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And I don't know who I'm preaching to today. But
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord sent me here to tell you he has
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: changed the playbook. What used to work will not work
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: right now. He told me to tell you what brought
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you here will not take you there. The systems, the structures,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a massive paradigm shift. And if
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you don't have liquidity, and if you don't have dexterity,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and if you don't have pliability, and if you don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have intellectuality, you will not be able to evolve into
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the next dimension of Because the manna has ceased and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Moses is dead and the movement continues. And right nestled,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: cradled in this beautiful text is the command to prepare
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: your victuals. So Dexter, when he cooks, he cuts up
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all his onions and grates all his cheeses and flashboils
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: all his food and brines all his meat and does
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all of that a couple of days ahead of time.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Because the prep time is more important than the cook time. Now,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I know this is a hard message to preach because
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I'm preaching about prep time to a microwave. It's difficult
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about really good dining because what
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you eat is not really food. It's just, it's a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: biological experiment. It's something that if you looked at it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: with a microscope, it would be crawling because you took
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it out of the freezer, you popped it into the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: microwave and you heated it up for five minutes and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you lifted the lid and it almost scalded your hand
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and you eat it and you call it food, but
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that's not food. That's not food. That's bacteria. Real food
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: requires prep time. Look at your neighbor and say, I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in prep time. I'm not acting funny. I'm in prep time.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not ignoring your phone calls. I'm in prep time.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not disregarding our relationship. I'm in prep time. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: haven't got the big head. I'm in prep time. I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: not arrogant. I'm in prep time. I know I seem
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: distracted and I don't seem like the person I used
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to be. But I'm the same person, but I'm in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a different place. I'm in prep time. I'm getting ready
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for something. And more is required of me in this
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: season than what was required of me in my last season.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: In my last season, we could play around. We could
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: fool around. We could mess around. We could date around.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But I got to break up with you in this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: season because I'm in prep time. In my last season...
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: We could breathe on the phone for an hour and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a half. But in this season, in order to get
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: where I got to go, I'm in prep time. And yes,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I still appreciate everything that you used to be. But
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I recognize your manner has ceased. In other words, you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: are not the source of my sustenance. You are no
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: longer the place where I eat and I love you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you, but I can't be on the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: phone for hours and hours talking about people because I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in prep time. People who can spend hours on the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: phone talking about people aren't going anywhere. And I can't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: afford to spend another year talking about what other people
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: are doing while I'm not doing anything at all. I'm
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in prep and I'm wondering if there's anybody. in this room,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: in this place. I'm wondering if there's anybody streaming online
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: who's in prep time. You're chopping up stuff and dicing
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: stuff and preparing stuff and wrapping it. It ain't happened yet,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but you're in prep time. The door hasn't opened yet,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but you're in prep time. The way it hasn't been
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: made yet, but you're in prep time. If I am
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: preaching to the right people, set it off in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I proved my faith because I'm prepping for something that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: hadn't even happened yet. I haven't mixed it together. It
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: hadn't come together. I haven't placed it in the oven.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't put it in the crock pot. I haven't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: put it on the smoker yet, but I'm in prep time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I'm laying it out. I'm getting it ready. I'm bringing
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: structure to what I believe. I'm not just believing it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing structure to it. Because without structure and strategy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I won't be prepared to succeed in the area of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: my destination. I'm in prep time. Nudge three people and say,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: prep time. I got to get it in prep time.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I got to get it in the right shape. I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: got to get it in the right form. I got
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to get it in the right size. I got to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: get it at the right temperature. I got to get
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it in the right order because I'm in prep time.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I can't put cold butter into a pound cake. Because
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it won't cream. I got to get it room temperature.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Everything's got to be right because I'm in prep time.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And when I'm in prep time, I have to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: stuff that don't make sense to you. Why you got
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the buttermilk sitting on the stove? Why you got the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: butter just laying out? Why don't you go ahead and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: use it? No, it's not the right temperature yet. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm calling things that are not
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: as though they were. Because I'm in prep time. I'm
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: getting my outfit ready. I'm getting my wardrobe ready. I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: getting my language ready. I'm getting my speech ready. I'm
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: learning the right terminologies, not for the room I'm in,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: but for the room I'm about to walk in. I'm
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: learning the language of my future. I'm preparing myself for
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what God is about to do in my life. I'm
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in prep time!
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You don't understand it because you don't have enough faith.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You say, when I get there, I'm going to prepare
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the vigil. It's going to be too late when you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: get there. You got to prepare for it before you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: get there. You got to prepare three days in advance.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Because in the next three days, things are about to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: change in your life in a radical way. This is
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: prep time. This word is a prophetic word going out
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to somebody. You're in prep time. There's about to be
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a release in your life. If God is talking to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you right here, right now, make some noise in this place.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Any kind of noise, any kind of noise, any kind
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of noise. Prepare your victuals. Prepare your rituals. Look at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: somebody and say, prepare your rituals. This basically is not
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just a change of how you cook. This is a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: change of how you think. You were raised by people
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: who didn't have to prepare. So you cannot take your
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: parents' mindset into your moment. Because your fathers did eat
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: manna in the wilderness, but the manna has ceased. So
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that means you have to have a different mindset. You
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: might have the moral equivalency, but you cannot have the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: same mindset. Because if you have the mindset of your fathers,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you will be looking up every morning waiting on something
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to fall down that is never going to fall down again.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And you will be waiting on something to happen so
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you can move. Nothing else is going to happen. Prep
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: time means mindsets determine assets. If I cannot get it
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in your mind, I cannot get it in your life.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: If your mindset is still looking up for manna, then
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: your hands won't prepare your victuals. And prep time is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the dangerous, dubious task of challenging how you think It's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: not that the preparation for the food is not available
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to you. But if you don't have the mindset, you
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: won't have the asset. If you have a mindset of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: waiting on something to fall in the morning, you won't
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: prepare your rituals in the day. Every time there's a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: major change in your life, Or move in your life.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Or you move into a new region or a new
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: occupation or a new situation. Or you become a single parent.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Or you get married. It's not enough to get a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: new ring if you have an old mindset. Come on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: with me. Come on with me. Come on with me.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Don't jump off now. Don't jump off with me. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: can't be a married woman with a single woman's mindset.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Because all of your single girlfriends will mess up your
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: marriage with their advice about what they would do if
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: they was you. And they don't have nobody and you
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: listening at them and carrying that spirit home and it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: tearing up your house. Brother, you can't be a husband
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: with a single man's mindset. Because you will be physically
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: present but emotionally unavailable. Because you are physically and legally
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: married but not emotionally present or connected. And because you
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have not developed language for anything beyond anger, your wife
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: becomes a sparring partner. Because you are better at expressing
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: anger than you are anything else. And God is prepping
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you with a change of mindset. Can I go just
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit deeper? I know I'm taking up some time.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But I want to show you how powerful mindset is.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The prodigal son is down in the hog pen. He
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: has estranged himself from his father and his brother. He
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: has gradually lost the dissipation of friendship. The erosion of connectivity.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He is in a place of total isolation, surrounded by swine.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: He is out of money. He is out of friends.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: He is out of family. He is out of identity.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He has no name in the text. He is a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: nameless person in a deplorable situation. And the only thing
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that changed, no angels came, no visitations from God came,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: no Bible dropped down out of the sky. The only
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: thing that changed, the hogs were still the hogs. The
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: slop was still the slop. The Gentiles were still the Gentiles.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: His family was still estranged. His friends had all ran away.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: The only thing changed. His mind changed. The Bible said
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that with mud in between his toes and gnats around
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: his head, he came. to himself. The only thing you
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: have to do to get out of the situation you're
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in right now is change your mind. You don't need
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: her to come back. You don't need him to come back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: You don't need them to pay your way. You don't
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: need anything else but to change your mind. As a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: mind thinketh in his heart, so is he. And the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: moment you change your mind, can't nobody hold you down.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: This is a change of mindset. I'm not going to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: keep standing out here in the morning waiting on something
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to fall. It ain't falling no more. What used to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: work is not working anymore. I'm changing my mindset. If
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I got to get my hands messy, if I got
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to get up early in the morning, if I got
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to beat the wheat till it turns to flour, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: will beat whatever I've got to wheat until I make
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it turn into what it's got to turn to flour.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Because my hands are a reflection of my mindset. If
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you want to know what I'm thinking, watch what I'm doing.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: If you see me out here doing it, it means
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not waiting anymore. I came here to tell you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: tonight that God said stop waiting on somebody to come
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: rescue you from your situation. They're not coming. You need
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to change your mindset and start beating that wheat up
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: until you see bread. There will be no more bread
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: falling from heaven. You're in a prep season for a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: promise that's about to take your life.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you will always be where you've always been if
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you're ready to be radical reckless and break loose and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: break out if you're ready to break some rules and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: do something you've never done before if you're ready to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: beat wheat till it comes out as loaves of bread
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: make some noise in this place just a noise Tell somebody, say,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it's yours, but you got to take it. I'm going
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to move from preparation to possession. It's yours, but you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: got to take it. It's not going to come up
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: on your front porch. It's not going to ring the doorbell.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's not going to respond to you the way you
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: expected it to respond to you. Ain't no more manna
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: coming down to your door. Ain't nobody coming to your
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: house begging you for a position. You got to possess it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It's yours, but you got to take it. You got
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to take it. You got to take it because it's yours.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's yours, but you got to take it. You got
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to take it while somebody else is living in it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You got to take it while somebody else thinks it's there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: There's going to be an altercation, but you got to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: take it by force. For the Bible said that the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: kingdom suffered violence and the violent take it by force.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I want to raise up some radical people. I'm sick
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of church people. I need some radical people. The Bible
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: said that the kingdom suffered violence and the violent take
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it by force. Is there anybody in here that's ready
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to take it by force? God told Joshua, I have
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: given you the land, but you still got to fight
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for it. Slap three people and say, fight for it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Don't just pray for it, but fight for it. Don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: just ask for it, but fight for it. You got
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to fight for it. I've given you the land to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: possess it. You got to drive out the Canaanites and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the Ammonites and the Jebusites and the Garishites because that's yours.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Somebody is living in your house. Somebody is driving your car.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Somebody is sitting at your decks. I heard the Bible say,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give you houses that you didn't build and vineyards
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that you didn't grow, but you got to take it
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: by force. You got to come out of your passive
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: little quiet, sit back, wait, Johnny, come lately, spirit, and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you got to take back what God gave you. Take
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: back what the enemy stole from you. Take back what
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they said wasn't yours. Take back what they said wouldn't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: happen in your life. You got to possess it. Is
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: there anybody in here that's getting ready to possess something?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to move people out. Call U-Haul. I want
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: my staff to call U-Haul so I can move out
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: all of these vagrant people that are living on my territory.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Give me a U-Haul truck because I'm going to move
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you out of my job, out of my position, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: out of my place because I'm going to possess what
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: God promised me. Walk up to somebody and slap them
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and say, possess it! Stop praying for it and possess it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Stop crying about it and possess it. Stop worrying about
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it and possess it. Stop fretting about it and possess it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Stop asking for it and possess it. Stop waiting on
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it but possess it. If you don't hire me, I'll
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: hire myself. If you don't give me a job, I'll
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: make a job. If you won't give me a seat,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'll create a table. I'm ready to possess the promise
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of God. This ain't for everybody. This is for radical people.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: This is for people who've suffered enough. I've been through
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: enough hell in the wilderness that if you don't make
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a way for me, I'll make a way for myself.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: God said, I've given you the land to possess it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Shake your name and say, take it back. Take it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Take it. Take it. Take it. I don't care if
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you got to take night classes. I don't care if
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you got to fix your credit score. I don't care
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: if you got to turn around and do double time
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to get where you're trying to go. Take it before
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you lose respect for yourself. Take it while you got
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: enough strength to go after your dream. Take it while
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: your talent is in place. You got to take it
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: by force. How can I take it? Somebody else is
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: in it. God said it's yours. Things are about to shift.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: God said I'm going to shift it. Now watch this.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: The paralysis has been there longer than the presence of God.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So paradigm shifts, though desired, become difficult sometimes. When the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: paralysis is more normal than the shift. This is one
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of the hardest miracles in the Bible. You got two disciples,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: not one, two. One disciple has raised the dead by himself.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You got two ganging this devil. Walking up into our prayer.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Saying silver and gold have I none but such as
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I have give I unto thee. They spoke the right word.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: They prayed the right prayer. In the name of Jesus
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Christ of Nazareth. Rise up and walk. The name of
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus is so powerful that the disciples were beaten for
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: preaching in his name. They were forbidden to go into
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: certain cities with his name. Because every time they said
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, a yoke broke. Scales fell off eyes.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Lame men stood up and started walking. Blind men started sinning.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Dead men got up out of the grave. And they
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: beat them and said, just don't say his name. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they used the name. But the man didn't get up.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'd like to say he got up. This is a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: place where I'm supposed to close the message and say
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: he got up. But he didn't get up. They said
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the right name. They were in agreement. The Bible said
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: if any two of you agree as touching anything on
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: earth it shall be done they had the power of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: agreement they had the power of his name they had
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the right problem they had the right patient they were
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: in the right place and they used all of them
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: together and the man still didn't get up what do
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you do when you've done all the right things and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it looks like it didn't work What do you do
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: when you've prayed all the right prayers? And it looked
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: like it didn't work. We got two in agreement. They're
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in one place with one accord. They used the power
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: of Jesus' name. They said, in the name of Jesus
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. I thought the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: story was over then. It should have been over. But
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he was still laying there. And then Peter reached down
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and took him by the hand. When he took him
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: by the hand, I said, wait a minute, Peter. You
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Ain't nothing wrong with his hand. Why did
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you grab what was working when you was praying about
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: what wasn't working? Why did you lay hands on his ankles?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Why did you touch his problem? See, the reason you
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: can't get up is that you keep laying hands on
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: your problem. and not your power. As long as you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: lay hands on your problem and not your power, you'll
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: never get up. As long as you keep thinking about
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: what's wrong rather than what's right, you'll never get up.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Peter didn't grab him by the ankle. He grabbed him
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: by the hand because the hand was working when the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: ankle was broke. God said he's going to use what's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: working against what's broke. Who am I preaching to today? God!
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: said you've been praying about what's broken but God's going
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to use what's working until you get your mind off
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of what's broken and start thinking about what's working you'll
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: never survive the pandemic you'll never survive the paralysis you'll
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: never survive the problem because your mind is on your
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: ankles but your miracle is in your hand yes Peter
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: reached down my God Peter reached down. Thank you, Lord,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: for reaching down. When I was in a mess, you
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: always had to reach down. When I couldn't reach up,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you reached down. Peter reached down and took him by
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the hand. And the Bible says the moment he took
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: him by the hand, the moment, the moment, the moment,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the moment you stop touching your ankles, the moment he
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: took him by the hand, Listen to me. God told
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: me to tell you, stop telling him what's not working.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: He's not going to use what's not working. He's going
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to use what is working. The miracle is in your hand.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Greater is he that is in your hand than that
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: which is in your ankles. And the Bible said immediately
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: he took him by the hand and immediately His ankles
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: receive strength. This is a prophetic word. This is a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: prophetic word. God is not going to touch what's broken.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: He's going to touch what's blessed. Good God of mercy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: And the reason you've been in the same spot so
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: long is that your mind keeps drifting to your ankles.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: And your mind is on your ankles when God is
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: trying to get you to stretch forth your hand. The
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: power is in your hand. It's not in your ankles.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It's not in rehearsing what's wrong. It's not in reminding
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: yourself of who left you, who hurt you, who deserted you,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: who fired you, who forsook you. God said it's in
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: your hand. He took him by the hand and immediately
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: his ankles received strength. Look at how much it took
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: for this man to accept a paradigm shift. The paralysis
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: was on more than his ankles. It was on his mind.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: It was on his expectations. It was on his feet.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: It was on his life. It was in the sociological
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: cycle that he had created to sustain him. All of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that would be compromised by getting better. You didn't hear that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: All that he had spent his whole life building would
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: be compromised by getting better. The question becomes, could he
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: afford to get well? See, some folk have made a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: living being broke. They built an ecosystem around dysfunction. They
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: don't know how to exist outside of dysfunction. They don't
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: know how to exist with love or peace or tranquility.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: They don't know how to exist, so they create fights
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: because they're familiar. They won't stop until they tear down
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a relationship. Because rejection is their familiar. Look at how
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: hard it was to deliver him from the paralysis, not
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the one on his ankles. No, that was no problem.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus has already proven that he could handle the ankles.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: The paralysis of his mind was the hardest thing to break.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: The paralysis of breaking him away from the familiar. If
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you heal me, I got to walk. if you heal
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: me I gotta walk and I have never walked before
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: if you heal me I have to socialize and I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: have never had to socialize before when all you ever
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: saw was broken well it's.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Scary well it's scary are you scared get up.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Are you scared to get better I understand I know
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: what it is I've been frightened to I know what
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: it is to have better right in front of me
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and be so scared I couldn't even sleep I'm not
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: judging you better is scary Do I have enough? Can
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I walk? Shall I walk? Must I walk? How do
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I walk? He took him by the hand. God wanted
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you to know something in your life is working. Stop
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: talking to him about what's not working. Something in your
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: life is working. He wants you to focus on what's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: working and not what's broken. He is going to move
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: in what is working in your life. Your miracle is
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: going to come to what is working, not to what
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: is broken. The enemy is trying to distract you from
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: what works, showing you what is broken. Because he wants
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you to stay in the paralysis of your circumstance and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: your situation. And God is ushering a change in your life.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And it can't be a play change. It can't be
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: a fake change. It can't be a church change. It
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: got to be a real change that's going to affect everything.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: A paradigm affects everything in your life. That's why I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: called it paralysis and paradigm because, because Both of them
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: are in the text. The paralysis and the paradigm. In
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: one moment, his ankles receive strength. Do you know how
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: unlikely it is for your ankles to receive strength in
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a moment? Do you know a surgery couldn't do that?
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: To cause your ankles to... If you had surgery, you'd
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: have to go through rehab. This man has never walked.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Good God. You think the biggest part of the miracle
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: is that his ankles receive strength? No, the biggest part
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: is that he stood up and started walking. Even if
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: his ankles got better. They have never made those movements before.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Those muscles have never worked with those nerve endings and
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: those joints in concert to produce movement. That requires therapy.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: The man not only got a miracle, he required no therapy.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: There is a recovery that is so, so spontaneous and
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: so powerful that it requires no therapy at all. He stood.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: He leaped. He praised and he went in to the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: next dimension. As I close this message today, I want
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: you to know you've been stuck a long time. You've
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: been paralyzed a long time, but God is going to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: bring you into the next dimension. God is going to
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: bring you into the next dimension. You're going into the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: next dimension. You have stood outside of it. You have
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: looked at it often. You've looked at it like a
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: kid looking through glass in a candy store. You've admired it.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: You've thought about it, but you were stuck at the gate.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: But in spite of the pandemic, in spite of the paralysis,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that that you viewed from afar off, you're about to
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: walk into it. And God said, you're going to leap
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: into it. You're not just going to walk, you're going
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to leap into it. And when you get in there,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: you're going to praise God in there. Because you're going
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: to know that if it had not been for the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Lord that was on your side, you never would have
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: got there. Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: You've been close to it every day, but you never
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: went into it. You've been in a cycle that brought
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: you near, near, near. You've been at the gate of
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: it a long time, but God is getting ready to
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: move you away from that gate. And he's going to
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: bring you into the temple. And the Bible said the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: doors burst open and the man came in walking and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: leaping and praising God. Walking and leaping and praising God.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Walking and leaping and praising God. Walking and leaping and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: praising God. Walking and leaping and praising God. Walking and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: leaping and praising God. And all of them standing around
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: were astonished. Number one, they were astonished because he was
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: praising God for something they take for granted. He was
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: praising God. See, everybody else in there could already walk
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and leap. So that was normal to them. And they
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: had taken it for granted. But this man had been
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: locked out of it so long that once God opened
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: it up for him, he was praising God for what
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: was ordinary to other people. Let me tell you something.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: When the shift is over, the have-nots are going to have.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: and the difference between the have nots having and those
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that have having is that when you've always had it
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: you don't appreciate it but when you've always been locked
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: out and God finally opens up the door for you
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to get in you don't just walk and leap you
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: also praise God because you remember how long you were
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: stuck outside the gate I declare unto you today I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: prophesy to you today. I promise you today. You will
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: not die at this gate. You will not die at
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: this gate. You will not die in this vicious cycle
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of sustenance that you have built for your survival in
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the midst of your crippling conditions. You will not die
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: at this gate. I prophesy to you that you need
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to partner with better people. You need to partner with
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: people who are strong where you're weak. You need to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: get around a better grade of people because beggars can't
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: help beggars. Lame people can't help lame people. You need
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: to make the kind of associations that are not codependent.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Those people who have been carrying you have been enabling
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: your dysfunction. They look like your friends, but they're not.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: They're helping you to be crippled. Get away from people
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: who are helping you to be crippled. And get around
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: somebody who demands something of you. I know you think
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: they're your friends because they carried you every day and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: laid you at the gate. But they're not your friends.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: They're your enablers. All the people who are enabling you
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: to stay down, get away from them. Get around people
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: who challenge you, who yank on you, who pull on you.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Hear me good. Oh, God. Hear me good. Hear me good.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: God gave me this for somebody. I know he did.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I know he did. The Holy Spirit told me to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: tell you, you've been there so long, you wonder if
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you'll ever get up. God said, wait for the yank.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: There's going to come a yank in your spirit. There's
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: going to come a yank in your belly. And when
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: you feel the tug, don't resist it. When you feel
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the tug, don't worry about your ankles. When you feel
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the tug, drop your cup. When you feel the tug,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: come out of your circumstances. Because if you will respond
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to the tug of the Holy Spirit, God will deal
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: with your ankles while you're standing up. We don't know
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: what part of the journey healed him. But as he
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: was standing up, his ankles received strength. And God said
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he's getting ready to tug you. And you will go
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: from paralysis to a paradigm shift. And you'll never be
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: seen at the gate again. And you'll never need your
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: cup again. And you'll never hurt again. And you'll never
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: beg again. And you'll never look to weak people to
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: just give you something because you think so little of
• 41:58
