GOD IS EXPOSING THE HIDDEN ROOT THAT KEEPS SABOTAGING YOUR FUTURE _ Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

0:00
Speaker 1: Hear victory praise.
0:00
Speaker 2: Come on, show Carter's house what a victory praise sounds like.
0:09
Speaker 2: You may be seated in the presence of the Lord.
0:18
Speaker 1: I feel good. Glory to God. I feel like doing
0:21
Speaker 1: a split. I'm not going to do it, but I
0:25
Speaker 1: feel like doing a split. I'm like James Brown after
0:28
Speaker 1: he got in his 60s. When he was in his 30s,
0:29
Speaker 1: he did a split. You know what I'm talking about?
0:31
Speaker 1: When he got in his 60s, he kind of got it. Yeah. Yeah,
0:36
Speaker 1: so that's it. That's it. Right there. When I was
0:39
Speaker 1: a young man, I danced in the spirit. I danced
0:41
Speaker 1: so long they'd have to put me in the car
0:43
Speaker 1: and I'd still be dancing. Now that I'm older, I
0:46
Speaker 1: act like I'm going to dance. Yeah. Fake them out.
0:53
Speaker 1: God is good. We are fearfully and marvelously made. Created
1:01
Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus unto good works. We are unique, authentic, autonomous,
1:07
Speaker 1: individually defined by the master himself. We are a designer's
1:12
Speaker 1: original in a category all by ourselves. There has never
1:17
Speaker 1: been another you. And there will never be another you again.
1:22
Speaker 1: Even if you have a twin, it's not you. God
1:26
Speaker 1: has put so much detail in the specificity that even
1:29
Speaker 1: your fingerprint stands in a category all by itself. God
1:33
Speaker 1: himself shows up in the scriptures. The very first time
1:37
Speaker 1: we see him, we see him stooping over clay. The
1:42
Speaker 1: stooping God shows us that all throughout the book of Genesis,
1:45
Speaker 1: God will be stooping to reach us. He stoops down
1:49
Speaker 1: and he forms man from the dust of the earth.
1:51
Speaker 1: And man, it's just a ceramic, a clay pot until
1:55
Speaker 1: he breathes the breath of life into him. And he
1:58
Speaker 1: becomes a living soul. The word living soul in the
2:02
Speaker 1: Hebrew is nephesh. He becomes aware of himself. He's not
2:07
Speaker 1: just alive like a rose bush or a plant or
2:09
Speaker 1: collard greens or potatoes or anything like I'm kind of hungry. So,
2:14
Speaker 1: you know. All of my illustrations will be food illustrations tonight.
2:21
Speaker 1: But he becomes aware of himself. If you cut a
2:23
Speaker 1: rose bush, it doesn't scream. If you cut celery, it
2:26
Speaker 1: doesn't cry. But because we are aware of ourselves, we
2:31
Speaker 1: have feelings. And the gift of feelings is unique. We
2:36
Speaker 1: are created in the likeness and the image of God.
2:38
Speaker 1: God has feelings. The Bible says that the Lord was blessed.
2:42
Speaker 1: Angry with wrath, which means anger with fire. God has feelings.
2:47
Speaker 1: God has feelings. Jesus comes to Lazarus' funeral service and
2:52
Speaker 1: weeps with Mary and Martha. God has feelings. And we
2:57
Speaker 1: need feelings. I know this is a faith church, but
3:00
Speaker 1: we need feelings. Faith and feelings are not necessarily at
3:04
Speaker 1: odds with each other. We need feelings. We were created
3:08
Speaker 1: to be a feeling species. If we had no feelings,
3:12
Speaker 1: we'd have no love. We would have no love. And
3:17
Speaker 1: then how could God ask us to love him with
3:19
Speaker 1: all our heart and our mind and our soul if
3:21
Speaker 1: we couldn't feel anything? Our feelings are a gift to us. Besides,
3:26
Speaker 1: the Bible says we can be touched. He can be
3:29
Speaker 1: touched by the feelings of our infirmity, tempted in all points,
3:33
Speaker 1: like as we are yet without sin. God cares how
3:37
Speaker 1: you feel. And so he wants us to have feelings.
3:41
Speaker 1: He doesn't want us to be led by feelings. But
3:46
Speaker 1: he wants us to have feelings. He wants us to
3:48
Speaker 1: have feelings so there is a natural feeling we have
3:51
Speaker 1: when we birth a child. There's a natural protectiveness that
3:55
Speaker 1: we have over a child. You can take the teeny, eeny,
3:58
Speaker 1: bitsiest woman in this room and mess with her kid,
4:01
Speaker 1: and she will turn into a serial killer. I would
4:05
Speaker 1: rather fight any dude in the room right now than
4:09
Speaker 1: to fight an angry mama. Because God equipped a mama
4:14
Speaker 1: with feelings. I mean, fathers knock you out to their
4:18
Speaker 1: bushel jobs, but a mama... will pull your teeth out
4:23
Speaker 1: of your gums. and look at you like you're a
4:26
Speaker 1: chopped liver and say, don't get near my child again.
4:30
Speaker 1: God gives us those feelings and those instincts so that
4:33
Speaker 1: we might be protective and so that we might be
4:35
Speaker 1: corrective and so that we might have empathy. And we
4:39
Speaker 1: need those feelings. These feelings cause children to feel loved
4:44
Speaker 1: and to feel safe and to feel nurtured. But the
4:47
Speaker 1: problem is those feelings, as many wonderful things as they do,
4:51
Speaker 1: can also do negative things. We can get hurt in
4:55
Speaker 1: our feelings. We can get bruised in our feelings. We
4:59
Speaker 1: can get disappointed in our feelings. We can be forsaken
5:03
Speaker 1: in our feelings. We can be rejected in our feelings
5:06
Speaker 1: and not even show anybody because you can't see a feeling.
5:11
Speaker 1: If you break your leg, you can see a broken leg.
5:14
Speaker 1: If you break your arm, you can see a broken arm.
5:16
Speaker 1: A broken heart cannot be seen. A broken heart cannot
5:20
Speaker 1: be seen and it is impossible to treat. There is
5:24
Speaker 1: no prescription for a broken heart. For a disappointed child
5:27
Speaker 1: who was not raised by their parents, there is no
5:30
Speaker 1: prescription that will take away that pain. There are feelings
5:34
Speaker 1: that we have to manage in order to be successful.
5:38
Speaker 1: We have to manage them like you have to manage money.
5:40
Speaker 1: You have to budget your feelings. You have to put
5:43
Speaker 1: guardrails around your feelings. You have to control your feelings
5:46
Speaker 1: because if you listen at your feelings, you'll make snap
5:49
Speaker 1: decisions that you later regret. I often say never make
5:53
Speaker 1: permanent decisions over temporary circumstances. Because in a temporary moment
5:59
Speaker 1: of passion, you can make a permanent decision that you
6:01
Speaker 1: live to regret. Feelings are very, very important to us,
6:06
Speaker 1: but they must be managed. He became a living soul
6:09
Speaker 1: means that he had a place to warehouse his feelings
6:13
Speaker 1: so that your feelings are not homeless. They are sheltered
6:17
Speaker 1: in your soulish man, not exhibited in your body, not
6:22
Speaker 1: shown in the way you walk. And so if you
6:24
Speaker 1: are wounded in your feelings, you can hide it and
6:27
Speaker 1: nobody can see it and nobody can know it. And
6:29
Speaker 1: you can smile and say, good morning. Welcome to JCPenney's.
6:35
Speaker 1: And nobody's ever the wiser to the fact that you
6:39
Speaker 1: have a broken heart, that you have a broken marriage,
6:43
Speaker 1: that you don't feel comfortable on your own job, that
6:46
Speaker 1: you wonder why your mother didn't raise you or why
6:48
Speaker 1: she treated your sister better than she treated you or
6:51
Speaker 1: why they never asked you to sing a solo unless
6:54
Speaker 1: it's solo. And it hurts your feelings. And we have
7:00
Speaker 1: all of these feelings. And in the beginning of the text,
7:02
Speaker 1: when Jesus is talking to his disciples, he is talking
7:05
Speaker 1: to them about feelings. And it's the first thing, when
7:09
Speaker 1: I started reading this text, I said, Lord, you spent
7:12
Speaker 1: all of those verses, 11 verses talking to us about
7:15
Speaker 1: how we feel. And I got teary eyed and I said,
7:18
Speaker 1: thank you for caring about how I feel. Thank you
7:23
Speaker 1: for caring about how I feel. Because I'm not sure
7:25
Speaker 1: that people always care about how you feel. It is
7:28
Speaker 1: much easier for us to care about how we feel
7:31
Speaker 1: than it is to care about how others feel. To
7:34
Speaker 1: care about how others feel is empathy. But not everybody
7:39
Speaker 1: is equipped with the ability to be empathetic. They can
7:42
Speaker 1: be selfish. they can be narcissistic they can be tied
7:47
Speaker 1: into themselves and sometimes when your feelings are wounded and
7:51
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by people that are oblivious willingly or unwillingly
7:56
Speaker 1: to how you feel you are alone even in a
7:59
Speaker 1: crowd now Jesus is preparing his disciples to take over
8:04
Speaker 1: the world and he does not want them to be
8:07
Speaker 1: petty so he says it is impossible for you to
8:11
Speaker 1: not have offense It is impossible. That means if you tip.
8:16
Speaker 3: Around and be real quiet and real sweet and you
8:20
Speaker 3: always do nice things for everybody and you're just as
8:24
Speaker 3: kind as Mother Teresa, that does not exempt you.
8:30
Speaker 1: You will still get offended. That means that if you
8:33
Speaker 1: change your hair and you change your dress, you will
8:36
Speaker 1: still get offended. If you don't believe it, go on
8:39
Speaker 1: social media. If you lose weight, they say you're too skinny.
8:44
Speaker 1: If you gain weight, they say you need to work
8:46
Speaker 1: out more. If you dress dally, they say you need
8:48
Speaker 1: to be simple. If you dress simple, they say you
8:50
Speaker 1: need to freshen up. There's always somebody out of 8
8:52
Speaker 1: billion people on the planet. You are going to get
8:54
Speaker 1: on somebody's nerves. I don't care what you do. And
8:57
Speaker 1: you can't manage 8 billion people's feelings. So Jesus does
9:00
Speaker 1: not want to raise up 12 disciples who think victory
9:04
Speaker 1: is managing how other people feel. Ooh, that was good.
9:11
Speaker 1: Because for some of you, victory is changing people's minds.
9:15
Speaker 1: And you think that if I do this well enough,
9:17
Speaker 1: long enough, right enough, left enough, short enough, get tips
9:21
Speaker 1: in my hair, get tints in my hair, get weaves
9:23
Speaker 1: in my hair, get my lips blown up, get my
9:25
Speaker 1: jaw sucked in, get my tummy tucked and take my
9:28
Speaker 1: tummy and put it behind me. Did I say that
9:35
Speaker 1: out loud? I didn't mean to say that out loud.
9:37
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
9:38
Speaker 1: We're always trying to manage what people think of us.
9:42
Speaker 1: And Jesus says it is impossible. He just comes right
9:45
Speaker 1: out the top, slaps us right across the face. Bam!
9:48
Speaker 1: It's impossible for you to live your life and not
9:52
Speaker 1: have offense. So you might as well quit running from it.
9:56
Speaker 1: You might as well quit making it the achievement of
9:58
Speaker 1: your life to get everybody. to like you. I don't
10:01
Speaker 1: care what you do. Somebody's not going to like you.
10:04
Speaker 1: That was one of the greatest lessons my father taught
10:06
Speaker 1: me in an old red pickup truck that had a
10:09
Speaker 1: red bumper on it that he'd gotten from the junkyard,
10:11
Speaker 1: and he was coming back from a job, and I
10:13
Speaker 1: was coloring in the car, and I was eight years old,
10:16
Speaker 1: and I was having a father-son talk with him about
10:18
Speaker 1: some kid at school that didn't like me, and he said, boy,
10:20
Speaker 1: I don't care what you do. Everybody is not going
10:23
Speaker 1: to like you. Stay with me all of my life
10:26
Speaker 1: because all of us want to be liked, and we
10:28
Speaker 1: want to be loved, and we want to live our
10:30
Speaker 1: lives without offense because offense is stressful. It's stressful. It's stressful. Yeah,
10:37
Speaker 1: I know you say you don't care, but it's stressful.
10:40
Speaker 1: People will say stuff to you that will make your
10:42
Speaker 1: hair stop growing. And Jesus says clearly it is unavoidable.
10:49
Speaker 1: There is no way to live your life without offense.
10:53
Speaker 1: If you chew long enough, your teeth are going to
10:55
Speaker 1: bite your tongue. I know you married Harry and he's
11:00
Speaker 1: six foot two and fine and he's got biceps and
11:03
Speaker 1: triceps and receps and decepts and everything all over and
11:06
Speaker 1: he's so gorgeous and he treats you like a lady
11:08
Speaker 1: like you have never been treated before in all of
11:11
Speaker 1: your life. And I know he's so wonderful and he's
11:14
Speaker 1: so thoughtful and he's so kind and when you looked
11:17
Speaker 1: through his eyes, you saw all the way down into
11:19
Speaker 1: his heart and you knew that we would always love
11:23
Speaker 1: each other forever and ever and ever. Until you found
11:28
Speaker 1: out that he leaves his socks on the floor and
11:31
Speaker 1: he left his dirty underwear in the bathroom.
11:34
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden you get an attitude about
11:38
Speaker 5: the way he smacks his food at the table. Can
11:41
Speaker 5: you please shut your mouth when you chew? You're cute,
11:45
Speaker 5: but you got no manners.
11:50
Speaker 1: It's true. You're going to have offense. You're going to
11:54
Speaker 1: have offense. It's going to happen sometime. It's going to
11:56
Speaker 1: happen to you sometime. You're going to go through some things,
11:59
Speaker 1: but God cares about your emotional well-being. Because if you
12:03
Speaker 1: get emotionally off, it affects everything else. When we go
12:06
Speaker 1: on an interview, they want to know our IQ, our
12:08
Speaker 1: intellectual quotient. How intelligent are you? There is a measurement
12:12
Speaker 1: whereby we can measure the quotient whereby your intelligence exists.
12:17
Speaker 1: But there is also an EQ whereby you can begin
12:20
Speaker 1: to evaluate the emotional quotient. Don't slip over this. Write
12:24
Speaker 1: this down. Because a lot of people with great IQs
12:28
Speaker 1: have poor EQs. And you hired the intelligence, but you
12:32
Speaker 1: got to live with the EQs. And by the time
12:35
Speaker 1: they get through wreaking havoc on your job and your
12:37
Speaker 1: life and your marriage with your kids, you would take
12:40
Speaker 1: somebody with a lower IQ if they had a little
12:43
Speaker 1: bit higher EQ. Can I get a witness up in
12:46
Speaker 1: here somewhere? You find out she's cute, but she's crazy.
12:53
Speaker 1: She is built like a Coke bottle, but she is
12:56
Speaker 1: empty as a beer drum. And you find yourself in
12:59
Speaker 1: this situation where you got these people because you don't
13:03
Speaker 1: end up married to their IQ. You end up living
13:06
Speaker 1: with their EQ. Yeah, and Jesus said people can get offended.
13:10
Speaker 1: And how we manage the offense determines the outcome of
13:14
Speaker 1: our lives. Because there are no classes that teach us
13:18
Speaker 1: how to manage our EQ. There are no classes. They
13:22
Speaker 1: don't teach that in school, not even in universities. They
13:25
Speaker 1: don't teach you how to manage your emotions. They don't
13:27
Speaker 1: teach you that at home. They teach you your ABCs
13:30
Speaker 1: and which fork to use. I know which fork to use.
13:33
Speaker 1: My mother spent hours teaching me Which fork do you use?
13:37
Speaker 1: That's a salad fork. Don't eat with that fork. No,
13:39
Speaker 1: that's a dessert spoon. Eat with that dessert spoon. The
13:42
Speaker 1: dessert spoon goes above the plate. This is where the
13:45
Speaker 1: glass goes. This is where the bread goes. You got
13:47
Speaker 1: her bread plate. She taught me all that kind of stuff.
13:50
Speaker 1: I don't use none of that. I eat your food,
13:54
Speaker 1: my food, any food that gets in my proximity is
13:58
Speaker 1: at risk of termination. I wish she would have spent
14:03
Speaker 1: a little bit more time telling me how to manage emotions.
14:10
Speaker 1: Jesus says, if it's impossible to live without offense, we
14:14
Speaker 1: should talk to people more about offense rather than acting like, once.
14:18
Speaker 4: You come to Jesus, you will never be offended. Nobody
14:21
Speaker 4: will ever get in your nerves and nobody will ever
14:23
Speaker 4: take your parking space. Some of you, before you get
14:25
Speaker 4: out of this building, somebody is going to get on
14:27
Speaker 4: your nerves and you got to be okay with it.
14:29
Speaker 4: You got to be able to deal with it because
14:31
Speaker 4: instead of talking to somebody and they're holding up traffic
14:34
Speaker 4: and you got to go to work at seven o'clock
14:35
Speaker 4: in the morning and she's having a conversation and praying
14:38
Speaker 4: for somebody.
14:39
Speaker 5: Out of her car window.
14:40
Speaker 1: And you can't get around her. And all of a
14:43
Speaker 1: sudden your anointing dissipates. Out of your baby toe. And
14:46
Speaker 1: your eyes turn red. And your fangs come out. You
14:57
Speaker 1: know I'm right about it. He cares so much about it.
15:02
Speaker 1: He cares so much about it. And when your feelings change.
15:05
Speaker 1: are wounded or hurt or in pain, the body, the
15:09
Speaker 1: human body, I've done a lot of research on this,
15:11
Speaker 1: the human body cannot differentiate between physical pain and emotional pain.
15:17
Speaker 1: The same secretions that come out of your body when
15:21
Speaker 1: you have emotional pain like breaking your leg are the
15:24
Speaker 1: same reactions that you have to a broken heart, but
15:28
Speaker 1: no medicine. And so there is no treatment. We can't
15:33
Speaker 1: reset it. We can't stabilize it. We can't bring it
15:35
Speaker 1: back to order. And Jesus is talking to his disciples
15:38
Speaker 1: and we get to eavesdrop on the conversation without the FBI.
15:45
Speaker 1: We get to hear Jesus prepping his boys to go
15:48
Speaker 1: out and do kingdom work. And he's prepping them so
15:51
Speaker 1: that they won't be petty. Because you can't do great work,
15:56
Speaker 1: massive promised land work with a petty attitude. You have
16:03
Speaker 1: to have thick skin to operate for the kingdom. You
16:06
Speaker 1: have to be strong to operate for the kingdom. You
16:09
Speaker 1: have to have some things in place that protect you
16:11
Speaker 1: because if you're not careful, the offense will become a
16:14
Speaker 1: distraction from the calling. And you'll put all your energy
16:18
Speaker 1: into settling the offense. rather than focusing on the mission
16:21
Speaker 1: that the Lord has given you, and your wounded feelings
16:25
Speaker 1: will be your sand ballot and Tobiah, and you'll give
16:28
Speaker 1: up on your calling and come down off your wall
16:31
Speaker 1: to have an argument with how you feel. And you
16:33
Speaker 1: think you got the victory, but you lost the victory
16:36
Speaker 1: because the disruption was a distraction from the purpose of
16:40
Speaker 1: God that was in your life. So you be steadfast, unmovable,
16:45
Speaker 1: always abounding in the work of the Lord. And then
16:50
Speaker 1: he says, I don't want you worrying about it because
16:51
Speaker 1: I'm going to deal with it. He says, it would
16:54
Speaker 1: have been better that a millstone be tied around your
16:56
Speaker 1: neck and you be cast into the sea than for
16:59
Speaker 1: you to hurt one of mine. He kind of sounds
17:02
Speaker 1: like my mother. My mother, I called my mother down
17:06
Speaker 1: to the school because I was having trouble at school
17:08
Speaker 1: and the vice principal said she was going to call
17:10
Speaker 1: my mother. And I said, no, you're not going to
17:11
Speaker 1: call my mother. I'm going to call my mother. A
17:14
Speaker 1: few minutes later, this black woman pulled up in this
17:17
Speaker 1: green Imperial with her wig on backwards. I'm not being funny.
17:24
Speaker 1: This is the truth. Her wig was on backwards and
17:26
Speaker 1: her eyes were red like Dracula. And she had fangs
17:30
Speaker 1: coming out of her mouth. And I said, there's my mama.
17:36
Speaker 1: It changed the whole meeting when mama got out of
17:39
Speaker 1: the car. God said, I will ride up on you
17:42
Speaker 1: like your mama. If you hurt one of the least
17:45
Speaker 1: of mine, it would be better than a millstone be
17:48
Speaker 1: tied around your neck and you be cast into the
17:51
Speaker 1: sea than to hurt one of my people. people's feelings,
17:54
Speaker 1: their emotion. That ought to make you careful. That ought
17:57
Speaker 1: to make you scared. It ought to make you a
18:00
Speaker 1: steward with a fiduciary responsibility to manage the feelings of
18:05
Speaker 1: the people in your life so that you don't become
18:07
Speaker 1: a brute and careless with the way you talk to
18:10
Speaker 1: each other because God is watching how you talk to me.
18:14
Speaker 1: And even though I don't get upset, he gets upset
18:17
Speaker 1: and vengeance is not mine, but it's his. And the
18:20
Speaker 1: Lord says, I will repay you if you mistreat. Not
18:23
Speaker 1: just the big people on the front row, but the
18:25
Speaker 1: people way back in the balcony. He said, I care
18:30
Speaker 1: whatever you do to the least of mine, to the
18:33
Speaker 1: parking lot attendant, you have done it unto me. Oh,
18:38
Speaker 1: that's cool. That means God is my security. I don't
18:43
Speaker 1: have to have security. God is my security, that he's
18:46
Speaker 1: my protection. And that means that I don't have to
18:48
Speaker 1: fight back. That means the battle is not mine. It
18:51
Speaker 1: belongs to the Lord. It means I don't have to
18:53
Speaker 1: fill my heart with anger and getting even and coming
18:56
Speaker 1: up with schemes to get back at you or straighten
18:58
Speaker 1: you out. It means that the battle belongs to God
19:01
Speaker 1: and God will deal with you all by himself because
19:04
Speaker 1: he doesn't want me distracted from healing the sick and
19:07
Speaker 1: raising the dead and turning water into wine and preaching
19:10
Speaker 1: the gospel. and loosen the bound and setting the captive free.
19:13
Speaker 1: He doesn't want me to be distracted from laying hands
19:16
Speaker 1: on people and seeing tumors dissipate out of their body.
19:19
Speaker 1: He doesn't want me to be distracted from my divine
19:22
Speaker 1: assignment to preach the gospel all over the world, to
19:26
Speaker 1: change the world, to win people to Jesus Christ. And
19:28
Speaker 1: I can't win you to a loving God with an
19:31
Speaker 1: angry heart. While I'm getting on your nerves, I might
19:35
Speaker 1: as well go a little deeper. He warns husbands, God
19:39
Speaker 1: cares how you treat your wife. God said if you
19:43
Speaker 1: don't treat your wife a certain kind of way, he
19:46
Speaker 1: said your prayers will be hindered. That's scary. God says
19:50
Speaker 1: I will hinder your prayers that means I'm watching even
19:53
Speaker 1: though you're bigger than her and even though she's in
19:55
Speaker 1: most cases AJ in most cases in many cases God
20:05
Speaker 1: says I will defend her By shutting up the heavens
20:11
Speaker 1: and stop everything from going right because of the way
20:15
Speaker 1: you talk to her. And if you don't want your
20:18
Speaker 1: prayers hindered, he says, exercise whatever influence you have in
20:25
Speaker 1: a measured way because I'm watching. And I'm like the Lord.
20:29
Speaker 1: When I meet people for the first time and I
20:30
Speaker 1: don't know them, I don't watch how they treat important people.
20:34
Speaker 1: I watch how they treat people that they think are
20:36
Speaker 1: not important. I watch how they treat the waitress and
20:40
Speaker 1: the bus driver and the Uber driver and stuff like
20:43
Speaker 1: that because it lets me know how you would treat
20:45
Speaker 1: me if you ever got the upper hand. And I
20:48
Speaker 1: choose my friends by the way they treat people they
20:51
Speaker 1: think they don't need because the moment they stop needing you,
20:54
Speaker 1: they will treat you that way too. Oh, this is
20:57
Speaker 1: worth the whole message. That part right there is worth
21:00
Speaker 1: the whole message. So pay attention. If you're trying to
21:03
Speaker 1: figure out who to date, don't watch out. how he
21:05
Speaker 1: treats you. Everybody treats everybody good on a day. Look
21:08
Speaker 1: for how he treats the waitress. Look at how he
21:11
Speaker 1: treats the person who parks the car. Look at how
21:13
Speaker 1: he talks to people that he thinks he doesn't need
21:15
Speaker 1: or that she thinks she doesn't need. And you'll have
21:18
Speaker 1: a clue into the rhythm with which she handles her emotion.
21:23
Speaker 1: Because one thing about crazy, it will peak out. It
21:28
Speaker 1: will sneak out. You might can cover it up for
21:30
Speaker 1: about two or three days, but by that third week,
21:33
Speaker 1: it will start giving you glimpses. You know, I'm cute,
21:36
Speaker 1: but I will go off on you. And her hair
21:38
Speaker 1: starts spinning around like the exorcist, and she attacks the
21:41
Speaker 1: waitress just because the steak is too done. Just start
21:45
Speaker 1: taking notes right there. You are in trouble, boy. You're
21:49
Speaker 1: going to be in trouble. Jesus cares how you treat
21:53
Speaker 1: people you think you don't need. He's watching how you
21:56
Speaker 1: handle them. He's watching how you treat them. Anybody can
22:00
Speaker 1: treat somebody good when you want a loan, when you
22:02
Speaker 1: need an equity loan, when you need an investment, when
22:05
Speaker 1: you need a job, when you need some help, when
22:07
Speaker 1: you're trying to go up. But very few people take
22:09
Speaker 1: the time to respect the janitor, the butcher, the baker,
22:12
Speaker 1: the candlestick maker, the attendant. You got to treat people
22:15
Speaker 1: with the same dignity because that is the commandment of
22:18
Speaker 1: the Lord toward you. So when Jesus begins to talk
22:24
Speaker 1: about this, he talks about it from three perspectives. He
22:26
Speaker 1: talks about his protection. He talks about his purging and
22:30
Speaker 1: he talks about his provision, his protection, his purging and
22:34
Speaker 1: his prevention. And I just got to talk about how
22:36
Speaker 1: God protects you. You might to the defenseless, to the broken,
22:40
Speaker 1: to the wounded, to the rejected, to the ostracized. To
22:43
Speaker 1: the person who has a scarlet letter on their head,
22:45
Speaker 1: I want you to lift up your head. Jesus is
22:47
Speaker 1: watching out for you. To the person who has no
22:50
Speaker 1: recourse and can't afford help and can't get the breakthrough
22:53
Speaker 1: that they need, Jesus is watching out for you. To
22:56
Speaker 1: the person who's tied up in an abusive relationship, Jesus
22:59
Speaker 1: is watching out for you. To the person who's mistreated
23:02
Speaker 1: on the job and in their neighborhood and in their life,
23:04
Speaker 1: Jesus is watching out for you. And you may not
23:07
Speaker 1: see it, but sooner or later, God is going to
23:09
Speaker 1: handle the person that's mishandling you. Glory to God. I
23:13
Speaker 1: feel like shouting right now. I feel like praising him
23:16
Speaker 1: right now. I feel like giving him the victory right now.
23:19
Speaker 1: Because if God be for you, he's more than the
23:22
Speaker 1: world against you. If God is on your side, he'll
23:24
Speaker 1: make a way out of no way. If God is
23:26
Speaker 1: on your side, he will stop the lion from biting you.
23:30
Speaker 1: the fire from burning you. He will stop the enemy
23:33
Speaker 1: from destroying you. He'll stop the snake from biting you.
23:36
Speaker 1: He'll stop the sea from drowning you. If God is
23:39
Speaker 1: on your side, he'll make a way in the middle
23:41
Speaker 1: of the desert. He'll bring you water out of a rock.
23:44
Speaker 1: He'll open up the red sea to get you across.
23:46
Speaker 1: If God is on your side, he'll heal you by
23:49
Speaker 1: lifting up a serpent in the wilderness. If God is
23:52
Speaker 1: on your side. You can fight the Philistines with the
23:54
Speaker 1: jawbone of an ass. If God is on your side,
23:57
Speaker 1: he will make a way out of no way. He'll
23:59
Speaker 1: put streams in the middle of your desert. If God
24:02
Speaker 1: is on your side, he will lift your head up.
24:05
Speaker 1: He will renew your strength. He will encourage your heart.
24:08
Speaker 1: He will renew your spirit. If God is on your side,
24:11
Speaker 1: he will bring you out from under the power of
24:14
Speaker 1: the enemy. He will heal you even when the doctor
24:17
Speaker 1: says no. If God God is on your side. He
24:20
Speaker 1: will change the records that they're counting. He will lift
24:23
Speaker 1: your head up. He will make your feet as hinds feet.
24:26
Speaker 1: When you should have fell over, he'll stiffen you to
24:29
Speaker 1: be able to stand. If God is on your side,
24:32
Speaker 1: he'll bring your fever down. He'll bring your courage up.
24:36
Speaker 1: He'll strengthen your will and your tenacity. If God is
24:39
Speaker 1: on your side, somebody shout. If God is on your side.
24:53
Speaker 1: So the first thing Jesus does is deal with the
24:55
Speaker 1: people who've been dealing with us, who have injured us,
24:58
Speaker 1: not necessarily physically, but emotionally, to alleviate us from the
25:03
Speaker 1: responsibility and the heavy weight that vengeance takes on the
25:09
Speaker 1: human soul. It takes so much weight to be vengeful.
25:16
Speaker 1: And Satan tempts us to be vengeful, even if it's
25:21
Speaker 1: in little ways. like rolling your eyes when they come
25:25
Speaker 1: in the room. And I will admit, I've had some struggles.
25:31
Speaker 1: Because when you get on my nerves, I kind of
25:33
Speaker 1: want you to know it. And I don't want to
25:36
Speaker 1: say anything where I can be quoted, but my eyes
25:38
Speaker 1: cannot be quoted. So I close my lips and go.
25:41
Speaker 1: And then he gets on me. I said, you don't
25:52
Speaker 1: have anything to do with that. I will handle that.
25:55
Speaker 1: And the moment he gets to addressing my enemies, now
25:59
Speaker 1: he now brings it home to me. So he moves
26:01
Speaker 1: away from just talking about protection to purging. And he says,
26:05
Speaker 1: if your brother has sinned against you or got on
26:08
Speaker 1: against you or has hurt you or has offended you.
26:11
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm preaching about this is because we
26:14
Speaker 1: are living in an era of offense. Everybody's offended. You
26:20
Speaker 1: can't say nothing about nothing that don't make somebody mad.
26:26
Speaker 1: You can tweet two plus two is four. And somebody
26:29
Speaker 1: will come back and say, who says who made you
26:31
Speaker 1: an expert on two plus two being four? It don't
26:34
Speaker 1: really have to be four. Everybody's offended. Rich folks are offended.
26:40
Speaker 1: Poor folks are offended. Black folks are offended. White folks
26:43
Speaker 1: are offended. Everybody's offended. The women are offended. The men
26:47
Speaker 1: are offended. Now we raised up a bunch of kids
26:49
Speaker 1: and the kids are offended. Everybody's offended. Now we got
26:52
Speaker 1: to live in the same house with a bunch of
26:54
Speaker 1: offended people. Everybody's got something against everybody. And then we
26:57
Speaker 1: come to church and say, as for me and my house,
27:00
Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord. Are you kidding me? Get
27:04
Speaker 1: out of here. You and your house aren't even speaking.
27:07
Speaker 1: Your daughter is mad at her mama. The dog bit
27:10
Speaker 1: the cat. The cat ate the goldfish. The husband and
27:14
Speaker 1: the wife ain't speaking. And don't you bring your mammy-in-law
27:18
Speaker 1: back over to this house on another Thanksgiving. I'll send
27:21
Speaker 1: her a plate. Everybody's offended. And we live in a
27:31
Speaker 1: society that makes a career at keeping us mad at
27:35
Speaker 1: each other. We live in a society that pits us
27:38
Speaker 1: against each other and tells us what each other thinks
27:40
Speaker 1: and we believe it. And so we get offended over
27:43
Speaker 1: what we heard somebody thought and how they think and
27:45
Speaker 1: how they feel. And they'll find one dumb somebody that
27:49
Speaker 1: represents that people group that'll come up and say something stupid.
27:52
Speaker 1: And then you'll judge millions and millions of people on
27:54
Speaker 1: that one individual and be offended over one individual thing.
28:00
Speaker 1: I've never seen such a time where you can't say anything.
28:03
Speaker 1: Everybody's offended. Everybody's upset. Everybody's nerves are on edge. Everybody's
28:09
Speaker 1: upset about something. You don't even know what you're upset about.
28:11
Speaker 1: We are living in the land of offense, and we
28:13
Speaker 1: have a God who has told us not to allow
28:16
Speaker 1: offense to get in our spirit because you can't have
28:19
Speaker 1: great worship and be offended. It affects your harmony flow.
28:23
Speaker 1: It affects your connectivity. It affects how the Holy Spirit
28:26
Speaker 1: invades the room. It matters whether you get along with
28:29
Speaker 1: the other singers. It matters whether the drummer likes the
28:32
Speaker 1: guitar player. It changes the atmosphere. When there's ought against
28:36
Speaker 1: your brother, the Bible said, leave your gift at the altar.
28:39
Speaker 1: I don't care how gifted you are. If you got
28:41
Speaker 1: a bad attitude, God said, I don't want your gift
28:44
Speaker 1: until you get that bilateral connection, that horizontal connection. God said,
28:49
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear no more vertical stuff coming
28:51
Speaker 1: out of your mouth as long as you're not speaking
28:53
Speaker 1: to the person that you're shouting beside. God says it
28:57
Speaker 1: does matter how you feel about one another. Can I
29:03
Speaker 1: go deeper? So then he says to the offended, he
29:08
Speaker 1: has moved away from the offender to talking to the offended.
29:12
Speaker 1: And when he talks to the offended, he talks to
29:15
Speaker 1: us differently. about how to get the contamination out because
29:19
Speaker 1: it's easy to get contaminated. If there's no way to
29:22
Speaker 1: escape offense, then everybody in here has been offended at
29:27
Speaker 1: some time or another. Can we be honest? It's hard
29:30
Speaker 1: to get church people to be honest because we have
29:33
Speaker 1: our reputation at stake and we don't want anybody to
29:35
Speaker 1: know that we're human. But to all the real people
29:38
Speaker 1: in the room, hold your hand up if you've ever
29:41
Speaker 1: been offended. I have been offended. Sometimes I don't read
29:47
Speaker 1: the comments because when I'm offended, I have a tendency
29:51
Speaker 1: to say something back. And I got to struggle down
29:55
Speaker 1: inside of myself to shut up. Because I can think
29:58
Speaker 1: up a whole lot of good stuff to say back
30:01
Speaker 1: to you. And even when I do say something back,
30:03
Speaker 1: I have to edit it. So that I can keep
30:07
Speaker 1: my day job. Because if I let the full theory
30:11
Speaker 1: of what I could say back, just let it flow.
30:14
Speaker 1: Hit the organ, Marcus. Marcus would have to play the
30:17
Speaker 1: organ behind me. But I got to telling you what
30:19
Speaker 1: I've taught about you. I have to tune up. And
30:23
Speaker 1: so I have to shut my mouth. Now Jesus moves
30:27
Speaker 1: from talking to the offender to talking to the offended.
30:32
Speaker 1: And he says, if someone offends you and you confront them,
30:38
Speaker 1: I want to stop there. Because most of us don't
30:41
Speaker 1: have the courage to confront the person we're offended with.
30:44
Speaker 1: You can confront people without being confrontational. Burying stuff doesn't
30:50
Speaker 1: heal it. Covered wounds don't heal well. Oh, I struck
30:56
Speaker 1: something that time. I felt it. At least 10 couples
31:00
Speaker 1: had a seizure. I mean an absolute, just an absolute,
31:06
Speaker 1: just a seizure right there on the floor. Covering it
31:09
Speaker 1: up will never make it better. You have to have
31:11
Speaker 1: the courage to speak up and don't let anybody take
31:14
Speaker 1: your voice away. Don't let anybody out talk you to
31:16
Speaker 1: the point that they take your voice away because just
31:19
Speaker 1: because you're out talking to me doesn't mean you changed
31:21
Speaker 1: my mind. Jesus said confront them And if they repent,
31:28
Speaker 1: forgive them. And the disciples was cool with that. They
31:34
Speaker 1: were cool with that. And then he messed around and said,
31:37
Speaker 1: and if they do it again and again and again
31:40
Speaker 1: and again and again. And then he gave them a
31:43
Speaker 1: number 70 times 70. And they did some quick math
31:47
Speaker 1: and said, increase our faith. Because I'm good on like
31:53
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of times or three times or maybe
31:55
Speaker 1: even seven times. But when you go from addition to multiplication,
31:59
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I don't need a touch of
32:01
Speaker 1: the Lord to help me to be able to do that.
32:03
Speaker 1: Because seven times seven, Lord, that's getting like way up
32:06
Speaker 1: into something. big numbers there and I don't know I
32:09
Speaker 1: don't know I mean I love you and everything but
32:11
Speaker 1: I don't know I mean I'm not saying that I
32:14
Speaker 1: won't do it but I'm not sure that I will
32:16
Speaker 1: do it and and so I don't want to over
32:18
Speaker 1: commit myself and I don't want to lie to you
32:20
Speaker 1: because you know everything from the beginning and I don't
32:23
Speaker 1: want to offend anybody but I just don't know if
32:26
Speaker 1: I can sign up for seven times 70 maybe three
32:29
Speaker 1: times 70 but seven times 70 might be above my
32:32
Speaker 1: quota And then they said to him, increase our faith.
32:44
Speaker 1: And I said to myself, what does faith have to
32:50
Speaker 1: do with forgiveness? The disciples saw faith and forgiveness interconnected.
33:01
Speaker 1: They said in order for me to develop the ability
33:06
Speaker 1: The ability to be able to purge my heart of
33:11
Speaker 1: the way I feel. I need faith. I need to
33:19
Speaker 1: believe that nothing you did stopped me from getting there.
33:27
Speaker 1: I need to believe that my destiny is not altered
33:31
Speaker 1: by the things you said or did or left or
33:35
Speaker 1: didn't give me. I need to decide irrevocably that the
33:39
Speaker 1: promises of God are yea and amen and that no
33:42
Speaker 1: man or no woman coming or going or leaving or
33:46
Speaker 1: staying or paying or caring. can stop me from turning
33:49
Speaker 1: out at the destination that God has for me. In fact,
33:53
Speaker 1: I need to believe that it was good for me
33:55
Speaker 1: that I was afflicted. Some kind of way God used
33:58
Speaker 1: what you did to fertilize my dreams and I became
34:01
Speaker 1: stronger now and richer now. And better now. And fuller now.
34:05
Speaker 1: And I've got to learn how to glory in tribulation.
34:08
Speaker 1: I've got to dance when I'm falsely accused. I've got
34:11
Speaker 1: to learn how to praise God. Even when you don't
34:14
Speaker 1: like me. My defense is to believe God. And say
34:17
Speaker 1: devil you meant it for evil. But God made it good.
34:20
Speaker 1: To God be the glory. You threw me in the pit.
34:24
Speaker 1: You threw me in Potiphar's house. You put me in
34:26
Speaker 1: prison and I landed the prince of Egypt. I still
34:30
Speaker 1: got to where I was trying to go. You didn't
34:32
Speaker 1: help me, but I made it. You lied on me
34:34
Speaker 1: and I made it. You betrayed me and I made it.
34:37
Speaker 1: You left me and I made it. You excommunicated me
34:40
Speaker 1: from the family and I made it. You said I
34:42
Speaker 1: was dead, but I'm back.
34:44
Speaker 3: I'm back.
34:46
Speaker 1: I'm back.
34:46
Speaker 6: I'm back.
34:47
Speaker 1: Is there anybody that made it back through something? Have
34:50
Speaker 1: you been through something and all hell was breaking loose
34:53
Speaker 1: and they thought you wouldn't go make it? Jump on
34:55
Speaker 1: your feet and holler, I'm back. I'm back.
35:06
Speaker 4: I'm back.
35:07
Speaker 1: I'm back. I'm back like Lazarus is back from the dead.
35:10
Speaker 1: I'm back like the woman with the issue of blood
35:13
Speaker 1: is healed from her infirmity. I'm back like Luke 13.
35:16
Speaker 1: I straightened up myself and got myself together. Now, you
35:19
Speaker 1: talking about a victory when you've been through hell and
35:22
Speaker 1: thrown in a pit and made it out of a
35:24
Speaker 1: prison and been through a storm and been through a
35:26
Speaker 1: crisis and been alienated and rejected? and land on your
35:29
Speaker 1: feet you talking about a shout you talking about a
35:33
Speaker 1: dance you talking about wanting to run you talking about
35:36
Speaker 1: wanting to leave I wish I had 30 people that
35:38
Speaker 1: had been through something and God brought you out to
35:42
Speaker 1: put your hands together open your mouth dance on your
35:45
Speaker 1: feet do a cartwheel stand on your head let hell
35:49
Speaker 1: know I made it anyway I made it anyway to
35:53
Speaker 1: God be the glory for the things he has done
36:06
Speaker 1: We're going to make a declaration. We're going to make
36:09
Speaker 1: a declaration tonight that's going to make demons run out
36:11
Speaker 1: of every exit door in the room. We're going to
36:14
Speaker 1: make a declaration tonight that brings depression out of your spirit.
36:18
Speaker 1: Suicide is going to have to flee out of this room.
36:20
Speaker 1: Anxiety and hypertension is going to have to get up
36:23
Speaker 1: and get out of here. Glory to God. Look at
36:26
Speaker 1: your neighbor and tell him, I'm going to be all right.
36:29
Speaker 1: Tell your other neighbor, I'm going to be all right.
36:32
Speaker 1: Hell gets nervous. Hell gets nervous when you start talking faith.
36:36
Speaker 1: Demons start trembling when you start talking faith. Witches lose
36:40
Speaker 1: their power when you start talking faith. Sickness loses its
36:44
Speaker 1: grip when you start talking faith. High blood pressure comes
36:47
Speaker 1: down when you start talking faith. Tumors shrink in your
36:50
Speaker 1: body when you start talking faith. I wish I had
36:53
Speaker 1: 30 seconds of crazy supernatural Holy Ghost energy. Tell everybody
37:27
Speaker 1: around here, I'm going to land on my feet. I'm
37:29
Speaker 1: going to land on my feet. Tell them, I'm going
37:32
Speaker 1: to land on my feet. It's my first year in college,
37:34
Speaker 1: but I'm going to land on my feet. I just
37:36
Speaker 1: moved to Tulsa, but I'm going to land on my feet.
37:38
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a job, but I'm going to land
37:39
Speaker 1: on my feet. I'm not sure I got the student loan,
37:42
Speaker 1: but I'm going to land on my feet. I'm nervous
37:44
Speaker 1: about going to class, but I'm going to land on
37:45
Speaker 1: my feet. I started my own business, but I'm going
37:48
Speaker 1: to land on my feet. I don't have enough capital,
37:50
Speaker 1: but I'm going to land on my feet. I'm raising
37:52
Speaker 1: my kids by myself, but I'm going to land on
37:55
Speaker 1: my feet. This This is the first time I've tried
37:56
Speaker 1: to own something, but I'm going to land on my feet.
37:59
Speaker 1: If you don't help me, I'll land on my feet.
38:02
Speaker 1: If you don't stand with me, I'll land on my feet.
38:04
Speaker 1: If you lie on me, I'll land on my feet.
38:07
Speaker 1: If you scandalize my name, I'll land on my feet.
38:09
Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm preaching to, but I'm talking
38:11
Speaker 1: to somebody tonight. The Lord sent me all the way
38:14
Speaker 1: from Dallas, Texas to tell you, you're going to land
38:16
Speaker 1: on your feet. You're going to land on your feet.
38:18
Speaker 1: You're going to land on your feet. Sit with me.
38:41
Speaker 1: I'm not through yet. Sit with me. I'm just getting
38:44
Speaker 1: hot now. Glory to God. I just kicked into the zone, baby. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
38:56
Speaker 1: Don't you see them devils running out that door right now?
38:59
Speaker 1: Don't you see them devils leaping out of that window?
39:01
Speaker 1: Don't you see them devils getting back out of the way?
39:07
Speaker 1: When Jesus says, none but the pure in heart, Shall
39:11
Speaker 1: see God. The word pure comes from a Greek word
39:16
Speaker 1: where we get cath. Catheter is the word. The root
39:19
Speaker 1: word is cath where we get catheter. None but the
39:24
Speaker 1: pure in heart. Nobody but the people who have a
39:27
Speaker 1: catheter in their heart. shall see God a catheter whereby
39:34
Speaker 1: they measure the heart to make sure that the heart
39:36
Speaker 1: is flowing blood properly and there's no blockages a catheter
39:41
Speaker 1: I won't tell you about the other uses but all
39:47
Speaker 1: the men said ouch Yeah, yeah. The catheters are designed
39:53
Speaker 1: that you have a flow. And God says, I want
39:57
Speaker 1: your heart to be open to a flow. And I
40:01
Speaker 1: don't want you to allow any blockages to get in
40:04
Speaker 1: your heart. Because if you allow a blockage to get
40:06
Speaker 1: in your heart, it will stop you from seeing God.
40:12
Speaker 1: None but the pure in heart shall see God. If
40:17
Speaker 1: that's not enough motivation... To make you get it out
40:20
Speaker 1: of you. I don't know what he is. I'm not
40:24
Speaker 1: sure whether he meant none but the pure in heart
40:26
Speaker 1: shall go to heaven. But I am sure that he
40:29
Speaker 1: means you won't be able to see God in your
40:32
Speaker 1: situation if your heart is blocked up with unforgiveness. And
40:38
Speaker 1: I need to see God to figure out how to
40:40
Speaker 1: make it through the wilderness so I can move when
40:42
Speaker 1: he moves, so I can walk when he walks, so
40:46
Speaker 1: I can flow when he flows, so I can step
40:48
Speaker 1: when he steps. I got to see God if I
40:50
Speaker 1: don't see you because he shows me the path. His
40:53
Speaker 1: word is a lamp unto my feet and a light
40:55
Speaker 1: unto my pathway. And if I let something get in
40:58
Speaker 1: my catheter, a catheter in my heart will affect my eyes.
41:08
Speaker 1: God says, none but the pure in heart shall see God.
41:13
Speaker 1: God says, if you get it in your heart, it
41:16
Speaker 1: will hinder your vision. So the enemy sends things to
41:21
Speaker 1: get in your heart to shut down your vision. Oh,
41:26
Speaker 1: my God. This is so good, I'm going to shout
41:29
Speaker 1: off my own preaching. God said, I've made your heart
41:36
Speaker 1: to flow. I made your heart to flow unrestricted. I
41:41
Speaker 1: don't want you to gather plaque or anything else that
41:44
Speaker 1: slows the flow because everything God does is in a flow.
41:51
Speaker 1: Everything God created was in a flow. When God created
41:55
Speaker 1: the earth, he created it in a flow. And the
41:58
Speaker 1: rivers fed the streams. And the streams fed the lakes.
42:02
Speaker 1: And the lakes fed the ocean. And God doesn't create
42:05
Speaker 1: new water. He just left his flow. It goes up.
42:08
Speaker 1: It rains down. It goes up. It rains down. It's
42:12
Speaker 1: a flow. Everything God created has a flow. When God
42:15
Speaker 1: created man from the dust of the earth. He didn't
42:18
Speaker 1: have to keep creating blood. He let the blood flow
42:21
Speaker 1: through the most elaborate highway system that you call the
42:24
Speaker 1: cardiovascular system. Your blood was made to flow. And I
42:28
Speaker 1: don't have to check your heart to see if your
42:30
Speaker 1: flow is right. I can touch your wrist and tell
42:33
Speaker 1: what's going on in your heart because the pulse, the
42:36
Speaker 1: rhythm of your pulse tells me the activity of your heart.
42:39
Speaker 1: And God said, if things are shutting down, the first
42:42
Speaker 1: thing I want you to do is check your heart.
42:44
Speaker 1: What have you allowed to get in your heart that
42:46
Speaker 1: has closed down your vision. So if I was the
42:52
Speaker 1: devil and I wanted to shut down your vision, I
42:54
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to attack your eyes. If none but the
43:00
Speaker 1: pure in heart shall see God, then all I'd have
43:03
Speaker 1: to do is contaminate your heart until you lost your vision.
43:08
Speaker 1: And if you lost your vision, You couldn't find your
43:11
Speaker 1: way out. And the reason Jesus says seven times 70
43:14
Speaker 1: isn't a particular number that he's after. He's talking about
43:17
Speaker 1: keeping your heart open so that whatever happens, you keep flowing.
43:22
Speaker 1: You keep flowing. You might have the feeling, but as
43:25
Speaker 1: quickly as you can, you let it flow out. You
43:28
Speaker 1: don't let things stay in and contaminate you and block you.
43:31
Speaker 1: Let me show you how quick Jesus was. They beat
43:35
Speaker 1: him until he was unrecognizable. They beat him until his
43:39
Speaker 1: entrails were hanging out. They beat him so long that
43:41
Speaker 1: Josephus says he should have died on the whipping post.
43:44
Speaker 1: But had he died on the whipping post, we wouldn't
43:46
Speaker 1: have been redeemed. Because the Bible said, cursed is he
43:49
Speaker 1: that hangs on the tree, not the whipping post. So
43:52
Speaker 1: he fought death on the whipping post, refusing to die.
43:55
Speaker 1: But when they hung him high... And stretched him wide
43:58
Speaker 1: and nailed him in his right hand and nailed him
44:00
Speaker 1: in his left wrist and nailed his feet together. And
44:03
Speaker 1: when they put him up on the cross, Jesus is
44:06
Speaker 1: not on the cross cussing at him, yelling at him,
44:10
Speaker 1: telling him, I curse your unborn children. I curse your future.
44:13
Speaker 1: I curse your destiny. I curse your mama. Jesus didn't
44:17
Speaker 1: say that. I probably would have said that. Jesus didn't
44:19
Speaker 1: say that. Don't judge me. Jesus wouldn't say that. Instead
44:26
Speaker 1: of allowing them to contaminate his heart while they are
44:31
Speaker 1: killing him. He says, Father, forgive them for they know
44:37
Speaker 1: not what they do. He said, I'm going to keep
44:40
Speaker 1: my heart open. No matter what I go through, I'm
44:43
Speaker 1: going to keep loving. I'm going to keep my nature.
44:45
Speaker 1: You're not going to change my nature from being the
44:48
Speaker 1: person that I am. You're not going to turn the
44:50
Speaker 1: lamb into a lion. I could call 10,000 angels and
44:53
Speaker 1: kill every last one of you, but I'm not going
44:55
Speaker 1: to do it because a lion cannot deliver the people.
44:59
Speaker 1: I've got to be a lamb to get this done.
45:01
Speaker 1: And in order to be a lamb, I got to
45:03
Speaker 1: forgive you while you're sticking nails in my hand. Oh
45:06
Speaker 1: my God, the shouting stuff. Glory to God. I wish
45:09
Speaker 1: I had me a shouting church in here right now.
45:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to outsmart the devil. I'm going to outsmart
45:16
Speaker 1: the devil. You're trying to change my nature. You're trying
45:19
Speaker 1: to turn me into a lion, but I can't redeem
45:21
Speaker 1: as a lion. I can only redeem as a lamb.
45:24
Speaker 1: And in order to be a lamb, even though you're
45:26
Speaker 1: nailing me, I'm going to forgive you because I understand
45:29
Speaker 1: that it's not you that's doing it. It's the spirit
45:32
Speaker 1: of the enemy that's working through you. And I asked
45:35
Speaker 1: my father to forgive you for hurting me because I
45:38
Speaker 1: know it really wasn't you. If you knew what you
45:40
Speaker 1: were doing, you wouldn't hurt me like that. You're just
45:43
Speaker 1: carrying out orders, and the orders are coming from Satan,
45:47
Speaker 1: and I'm under attack. And why would I fight the
45:49
Speaker 1: soldier when the war is not with the soldier? It's
45:52
Speaker 1: with the enemy, and the enemy's trying to get me
45:54
Speaker 1: to mess up what I'm about to do on the cross.
45:57
Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm talking to, but the enemy's
45:59
Speaker 1: trying to mess up what you're about to do in
46:01
Speaker 1: your ministry. And the reason you're up under attack is
46:04
Speaker 1: that he wants you to contaminate your heart. And the
46:06
Speaker 1: Lord sent me from Talos... To tell you don't you
46:09
Speaker 1: do it. Don't get bitter. Don't get even. Don't get mad.
46:12
Speaker 1: Don't get upset. Don't respond. Don't react. Hold your peace.
46:17
Speaker 1: I know you look weak. I know you look helpless.
46:20
Speaker 1: I know you know something you could say. I know
46:22
Speaker 1: you can fight. I know you can defend yourself. But
46:25
Speaker 1: this is not a battle that you're going to win
46:27
Speaker 1: with your fists. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
46:31
Speaker 1: But against powers and principalities. And spiritual wickedness in high places.
46:36
Speaker 1: The weapons that we use. are not colonel you got
46:39
Speaker 1: a weapon to fight with and there Jesus is bleeding
46:42
Speaker 1: to death on the cross telling about father forgive them
46:44
Speaker 1: he's interceding for murderers glory to God that's what he
46:54
Speaker 1: means by seven times seven later in the scriptures he
46:59
Speaker 1: will tell us lest a root of bitterness defile you
47:06
Speaker 1: a root A root of bitterness defile you. They gave
47:15
Speaker 1: him frankincense and myrrh, which was roots. So there are
47:17
Speaker 1: roots that can anesthetize the pain. And there are other
47:22
Speaker 1: roots that can defile you. Are you carrying a root
47:30
Speaker 1: of bitterness? Because if you are, it will defile you.
47:38
Speaker 1: I'm almost where I want to be. You still with me?
47:41
Speaker 1: You're not tired of me yet? And so they said, Lord,
47:46
Speaker 1: increase our faith. Increase our faith till we believe you
47:50
Speaker 1: when our feelings are hurt. Anybody can believe you when
47:55
Speaker 1: they're happy. Increase our faith till we believe you when
48:00
Speaker 1: we're in pain. When the nails are in our wrist.
48:06
Speaker 1: When we've been publicly humiliated. When we are at our
48:10
Speaker 1: wits end, increase our faith to believe that some good
48:14
Speaker 1: is going to come out of this. I remember one
48:16
Speaker 1: time I was under attack and it was real bad
48:18
Speaker 1: and it was real painful. And it's the only time
48:20
Speaker 1: in my life I've ever been curled up in the
48:22
Speaker 1: corner of the floor crying and just beside myself. And
48:25
Speaker 1: I took a walk in my backyard and I was
48:27
Speaker 1: crying and I was walking in the backyard and I
48:29
Speaker 1: was talking to God. And I said, I don't know
48:31
Speaker 1: why you let this happen to me. And I don't
48:32
Speaker 1: know why you're letting this go on in my life.
48:34
Speaker 1: And I don't know why you allowed me to go
48:36
Speaker 1: through what I'm going through. I said, but I want
48:38
Speaker 1: you to know that I trust you. I trust you.
48:42
Speaker 1: i trust you and if you ordered me to go
48:44
Speaker 1: through this i'll go through whatever you want me to
48:46
Speaker 1: go through to be whoever you want me to be
48:48
Speaker 1: because i know you love me and i know you
48:51
Speaker 1: know what's best for me and though you slay me
48:53
Speaker 1: yet will i trust you and i was crying and
48:56
Speaker 1: i couldn't hardly even see the path i was walking
48:59
Speaker 1: on but i told god i will pass this test
49:01
Speaker 1: because i trust you i trust you when things go
49:04
Speaker 1: right I trust you when things go wrong. I trust
49:07
Speaker 1: you when you make me happy. I trust you when
49:09
Speaker 1: you make me cry because I am convinced because of
49:12
Speaker 1: Calvary that you're in love with me and you can't
49:15
Speaker 1: be in love with me and do something that's gonna
49:18
Speaker 1: end up bad and I trust you I trust you
49:21
Speaker 1: with tears running down my face I trust you and
49:24
Speaker 1: the more I said I trust you the more demons
49:26
Speaker 1: begin to scream and shake I I trust you. I
49:29
Speaker 1: don't understand you, but I trust you. I don't see
49:32
Speaker 1: the plan, but I trust you. You've broken my heart,
49:35
Speaker 1: but I trust you. It's painful, but I trust you.
49:38
Speaker 1: I want to speak to everybody who's ever lost anybody,
49:40
Speaker 1: lost anything, lost a loved one, went through a hard time.
49:44
Speaker 1: You don't have to understand God to trust him. You
49:47
Speaker 1: need to let hell know, I trust him. I trust
49:50
Speaker 1: him that some kind of way, this is going to
49:52
Speaker 1: work for my good. If you've been going through a
49:54
Speaker 1: very painful place, slip your hands up in the air
49:57
Speaker 1: and give God a praise. that you trust him. I
50:00
Speaker 1: trust you. I trust you in this season. I trust
50:03
Speaker 1: you in this season. I trust you when I lose
50:05
Speaker 1: my job. I trust you when my loan isn't approved.
50:09
Speaker 1: I trust you when people rise up against you. I
50:11
Speaker 1: trust you when things didn't turn out the way I
50:13
Speaker 1: wanted them to turn out. I trust you when I
50:15
Speaker 1: didn't bring a medal home from the Olympics. I trust
50:18
Speaker 1: you when I fumbled the ball on the field. I
50:20
Speaker 1: still trust you. I trust you. Order my steps.
51:18
Speaker 1: so
51:27
Speaker 1: he deals with us is this good so he dealt
51:31
Speaker 1: with us protection he dealt with us with purging and
51:33
Speaker 1: then he deals with us with prevention and this is
51:36
Speaker 1: the prevention part and it's kind of weird he says
51:38
Speaker 1: if you have the faith increase our faith Lord they
51:42
Speaker 1: thought the bigger the faith the better the fight and
51:46
Speaker 1: Jesus is not going to take that much faith he
51:48
Speaker 1: said if you have the faith as of a grain
51:50
Speaker 1: of mustard seed now watch this Before he said, you
51:54
Speaker 1: shall speak to the mountain and the mountain shall be
51:57
Speaker 1: cast into the sea. But this time he said, if
52:00
Speaker 1: you have the faith as of a grain of mustard seed,
52:03
Speaker 1: you shall speak to a sycamine tree and command it
52:07
Speaker 1: to be cast into the ocean and it will be
52:09
Speaker 1: cast into the ocean and it will be removed. And
52:13
Speaker 1: I said, why did you go from a mountain to
52:16
Speaker 1: a tree? And he said, because a mountain has no roots.
52:30
Speaker 1: So I started digging into a sycamine tree. And I
52:32
Speaker 1: want to tell you, can I tell you, can I
52:33
Speaker 1: tell anybody? Anybody want to know what a sycamine tree is?
52:36
Speaker 1: A sycamine tree is a very unique tree. It's not
52:40
Speaker 1: that the roots grow deep, only about 24 inches deep
52:43
Speaker 1: into the earth, but they grow wide. They grow very wide.
52:48
Speaker 1: They take over territory. And when they grow wide, they
52:54
Speaker 1: twist and tangle. And so it is almost impossible to
52:59
Speaker 1: uproot the tree because the roots are twisted and wide.
53:05
Speaker 1: So when a sycamine tree is growing, it is not
53:08
Speaker 1: the trunk you have to worry about. It's the root.
53:14
Speaker 1: And Jesus is saying, oh, I feel the Holy Ghost.
53:19
Speaker 1: God said, if you have the faith as of a
53:21
Speaker 1: grain of mustard seed, I will demolish the system that
53:27
Speaker 1: has you stuck You tried to shake yourself loose and
53:40
Speaker 1: you couldn't get loose. You tried to pray yourself loose
53:43
Speaker 1: and you couldn't get loose. You tried to talk yourself
53:45
Speaker 1: out of it and you couldn't get loose. The reason
53:47
Speaker 1: you couldn't get loose is that your roots are intertwined.
53:51
Speaker 1: The only thing that will untangle your roots is your
53:54
Speaker 1: conviction of faith in God. He said, if you have
53:58
Speaker 1: the faith as of a grain of mustard seed, I
54:01
Speaker 1: will untangle the system. Can I go into the system?
54:09
Speaker 1: You're hurt over your husband because your husband hurt you.
54:12
Speaker 1: But it's rooted into something that happened with your father.
54:19
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, everybody that reminds you
54:22
Speaker 1: of your father gets tied into the system. And now
54:25
Speaker 1: you're raising a son and he's taking on characteristics like
54:29
Speaker 1: your ex-husband. And the enemy is tangling your roots. Am
54:36
Speaker 1: I helping somebody? If I'm helping you, holler at me.
54:41
Speaker 1: If you will notice, your life has a system of attack.
54:49
Speaker 1: There is something consistent in the DNA of the things
54:53
Speaker 1: that happen to you. It is the roots of the
54:57
Speaker 1: sycamine tree. And they get tangled up until you can't
55:02
Speaker 1: tell one from another. And the same thing that happened
55:06
Speaker 1: to you before is happening to you again. And the
55:09
Speaker 1: thing that happened to your father is happening to you.
55:11
Speaker 1: And the thing that your uncle went through is now
55:13
Speaker 1: happening to your son. And you can see a pattern
55:16
Speaker 1: because the sycamine roots go wide. They go wide. They
55:22
Speaker 1: touch your father. They touch your wife. They touch your son.
55:25
Speaker 1: They touch your nephew. They touch your nieces. They affect
55:27
Speaker 1: your job. They affect your economy. They affect your leadership.
55:31
Speaker 1: They affect every area of your life. It affects how
55:33
Speaker 1: you handle money. It affects your business. It affects your
55:35
Speaker 1: future because the roots are intertwined. That's why Jesus didn't
55:41
Speaker 1: ask for the mountains. Because when it comes to forgiveness,
55:45
Speaker 1: mountains don't have roots. And unforgiveness has roots. And the
55:50
Speaker 1: roots are the roots of bitterness. And the bitterness gets
55:54
Speaker 1: so entangled that sometimes you even forget what you're mad about.
56:01
Speaker 1: You're just angry. It's all tangled up together. But the
56:05
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit said tonight, I'm going to untangle your roots.
56:09
Speaker 1: I'm going to set you free. I'm going to bring
56:12
Speaker 1: you to a place of wholeness. I'm going to bring
56:14
Speaker 1: you to a place of healing. I'm going to bring
56:16
Speaker 1: you to a place of restoration. I'm going to untangle
56:19
Speaker 1: patterns that have been going on for generations and generations
56:23
Speaker 1: in your life. This didn't even start with you. This
56:26
Speaker 1: started with your mother and your grandmother. This started with
56:29
Speaker 1: your grandfather and your granddaddy. And the roots have gone wide.
56:32
Speaker 1: And your past is trying to reach over and mess
56:35
Speaker 1: up your future. But the devil is a lie. This
56:38
Speaker 1: is going to be a root untangling service. This is
56:41
Speaker 1: going to be a root untangling meeting. You're watching on
56:44
Speaker 1: the internet. Your roots are about to be untangled. Things
56:47
Speaker 1: that have been in your life and you couldn't get
56:49
Speaker 1: loose and they're all in the ground and it's everywhere
56:52
Speaker 1: and it's all tied up and it's around rocks and
56:55
Speaker 1: it's around ridges and it's around dry places and you
56:58
Speaker 1: love the Lord but you can't get loose and you
57:00
Speaker 1: love Jesus but you can't get loose and you love
57:02
Speaker 1: your son but you can't tell him and you love
57:04
Speaker 1: your wife but you can't express it and you love
57:06
Speaker 1: what you do but all hell is breaking loose. on
57:09
Speaker 1: your job, and it's affecting every area of your life.
57:12
Speaker 1: If you're seeing the same spirit show up in different
57:14
Speaker 1: dimensions of your life, it's because your life is the
57:17
Speaker 1: sycamore tree. But the Lord sent me here tonight to
57:21
Speaker 1: preach a liberating word that's about to loose you from
57:24
Speaker 1: the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.
57:27
Speaker 1: Somebody jump up on your feet like you lost your mind.
57:30
Speaker 1: Give me more power. Somebody jump up on your feet
57:35
Speaker 1: like you lost your mind. Somebody jump up on your
57:37
Speaker 1: feet like you lost your mind. Somebody jump up on
57:40
Speaker 1: your feet like you lost your mind. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
57:53
Speaker 1: You've been a prisoner in your own head. You've been
57:55
Speaker 1: a prisoner in your own emotion. You've been a prisoner
57:57
Speaker 1: in your own thoughts. It's not that you don't look
58:00
Speaker 1: free on the outside. Good morning. Welcome to JCPenney's. It
58:03
Speaker 1: doesn't look like everything is going well. It looks like
58:05
Speaker 1: everything is going fine, but you know that down on
58:08
Speaker 1: the inside, you've tangled up in your mind in your
58:11
Speaker 1: spirit and late at night when everybody else is asleep
58:13
Speaker 1: you're awake at night it's affecting your rest it's affecting
58:16
Speaker 1: your peace it's affecting your mind but tonight is your
58:19
Speaker 1: night that's why the devil didn't want you to get
58:21
Speaker 1: in here tonight because tonight is your night for a
58:24
Speaker 1: breakthrough the spirit of the living God The spirit of
58:27
Speaker 1: the living God, the spirit of the living God, the
58:31
Speaker 1: spirit of the living God, the spirit of the living
58:33
Speaker 1: God is in this place tonight. We're going to take
58:36
Speaker 1: the faith as of a grain of mustard seed. Look
58:39
Speaker 1: at your neighbor and say, you just need a little
58:41
Speaker 1: bit of faith. You just need a little bit of faith.
58:44
Speaker 1: Type it on the line. You just need a little
58:46
Speaker 1: bit of faith. If you get out a little bit
58:48
Speaker 1: of faith tonight, God's going to destroy the system that's
58:52
Speaker 1: trying to destroy you. The odds are against you. The
58:55
Speaker 1: roots are against you. The situation is against you. The
58:59
Speaker 1: times are against you. But greater is he that is
59:02
Speaker 1: in you than he that's in the world. There's a
59:05
Speaker 1: greater power that's about to take over your life. There's
59:08
Speaker 1: a greater power that's about to heal your mind, your body,
59:13
Speaker 1: your emotions, your health, your rest. The spirit of God
59:18
Speaker 1: is in this place. I serve notice on every devil
59:21
Speaker 1: in this place tonight. You have no more territory. We
59:25
Speaker 1: will give you no more space. We will give you
59:27
Speaker 1: no more room. We will give you no more power.
59:30
Speaker 1: Somebody's eyes are opening up. Somebody's vision is coming back.
59:35
Speaker 1: Somebody's commitment is being stirred. The spirit of the Lord
59:38
Speaker 1: is here. Can Can I preach like I do at home?
59:41
Speaker 1: I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost in this place.
59:45
Speaker 1: I feel the screaming of demonic warfare that's been working
59:50
Speaker 1: a system against you all of your life. You're not bound.
59:54
Speaker 1: You're not controlled. You're not tangled. You're not an inmate.
59:58
Speaker 1: You're not alone. You've been feeling by yourself. But the
1:00:02
Speaker 1: Holy Ghost said you're not by yourself. God is getting
1:00:05
Speaker 1: ready to demolish the whole system. And not only is
1:00:09
Speaker 1: he going to pull the tree up, but he's going
1:00:12
Speaker 1: to cast it into the sea. If you're in this
1:00:15
Speaker 1: place and you got something that needs to be cast
1:00:19
Speaker 1: into the sea. If you're in this place and you've
1:00:22
Speaker 1: been carrying a pain... There's too much for you to bear.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: If you're in this place and you've been wounded for
1:00:28
Speaker 1: a while, I want you to seize the anointing that
1:00:32
Speaker 1: is in this room to untangle yourself and set yourself
1:00:37
Speaker 1: free where the spirit of the Lord is. There is liberty.
1:00:42
Speaker 1: There's going to be liberty in this place tonight. There's
1:00:46
Speaker 1: going to be liberty online. Every time you try to
1:00:50
Speaker 1: make a move, the devil tries to shut you down.
1:00:53
Speaker 1: But the devil is alive. God is about to uproot
1:00:57
Speaker 1: that thing out of your life and set you free.
1:01:02
Speaker 1: I need a hundred people in this room that feel
1:01:05
Speaker 1: God pulling the sycamore tree out of your life to
1:01:09
Speaker 1: give God a praise. I feel the anointing of the
1:01:13
Speaker 1: Holy Ghost in this place. I got to be free.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: I got to come out of this. I got to
1:01:19
Speaker 1: get loose. I got to be whole. I got to
1:01:23
Speaker 1: be delivered, whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.
1:01:30
Speaker 5: To.
1:01:30
Speaker 1: Get me out of this... I gotta be free... I
1:01:34
Speaker 1: didn't come this far to be bound... I didn't come
1:01:37
Speaker 1: this far to be tangled... I didn't come this far
1:01:39
Speaker 1: to be blind... I didn't come this far to go back...
1:01:43
Speaker 1: Devil you're a liar... Tonight is my night... In the
1:01:47
Speaker 1: name of Jesus... I declare liberty... All over this house...
1:01:52
Speaker 1: For the next three minutes... Everything that God appraised... Get
1:01:57
Speaker 1: it out... Get it out.
1:01:59
Speaker 6: Lose your daughter. Lose your son. Lose your job. Lose
1:02:05
Speaker 6: your finances. Lose your peace. Lose your joy. Lose your vision.
1:02:12
Speaker 6: Lose your anointing. Lose your calling.
1:02:16
Speaker 1: I can't hear you.
1:02:17
Speaker 5: I can't hear you.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: Glory to God. Nudge three people and tell them I'm free.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: I'm free. My roots are loose. My mind is loose.
1:02:35
Speaker 1: My heart is loose. I feel that old-fashioned anointing of
1:02:44
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit in this place. Somebody's got to break through.
1:02:48
Speaker 1: The devil is mad. Hell is upset. The enemy had
1:02:52
Speaker 1: a system that's been operating in your life. But you're
1:02:56
Speaker 1: going to be the first generation not to have a
1:02:59
Speaker 1: sycamine tree. I rebuke the tree that's tied up your life.
1:03:22
Speaker 1: So as I close tonight, the defense for an offense
1:03:30
Speaker 1: is the discovery of mustard seed faith. If you believe
1:03:38
Speaker 1: God just a little bit, the entire system, there's a
1:03:44
Speaker 1: system working against you. There's a system working against you.
1:03:51
Speaker 1: the way you were raised, the things you came through,
1:03:53
Speaker 1: the things that happened to you were all designed to
1:03:57
Speaker 1: take over territory. God is going to move the tree.
1:04:14
Speaker 1: I want everybody in this place that this message spoke
1:04:19
Speaker 1: to In a special way. And you said, my God,
1:04:24
Speaker 1: that man is talking to me. God put an anointing
1:04:29
Speaker 1: on me for you. You might be watching online, but
1:04:32
Speaker 1: the anointing is for you. You don't have to spend
1:04:37
Speaker 1: the rest of your life tied up to a dead root.
1:04:51
Speaker 1: Young people, you don't have to start your life off
1:04:57
Speaker 1: entangled and angry and bitter and hurt. There are some
1:05:02
Speaker 1: young people in here with old people's problems. You've seen
1:05:07
Speaker 1: stuff that a young person should have never seen. You've
1:05:11
Speaker 1: been through things that people your age should have never
1:05:13
Speaker 1: gone through. And you are here under duress. Against all odds,
1:05:20
Speaker 1: it's a miracle that you're here. And God wants to
1:05:23
Speaker 1: pull your sycamine tree up by the root. There are
1:05:26
Speaker 1: couples in here. You were meant to be power couples
1:05:30
Speaker 1: in the kingdom of God. And that's why the enemy
1:05:33
Speaker 1: fights you so. And you've been hurt and you haven't
1:05:36
Speaker 1: been able to get over the hurt. You've said all
1:05:39
Speaker 1: the right things, but the rooting system is so complicated
1:05:43
Speaker 1: that you're tied to it. There are people in this
1:05:45
Speaker 1: room who have incurred injuries, betrayals, disappointments that left you wounded.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: And every time you see certain people, you feel a
1:05:53
Speaker 1: certain way, but you smile and you hide it. The
1:05:56
Speaker 1: enemy is trying to plant a root on you. If
1:05:59
Speaker 1: you are in any of those categories, come as close
1:06:02
Speaker 1: to this altar as you can. Don't worry about what
1:06:05
Speaker 1: you got on. Don't worry about what people say. Don't
1:06:07
Speaker 1: worry about what they think. Don't worry about it. Don't
1:06:09
Speaker 1: worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
1:06:11
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. The only thing we want The
1:06:14
Speaker 1: only thing we want is to untangle this root. We
1:06:19
Speaker 1: got to untangle this root. This root is wide. This
1:06:23
Speaker 1: root is long. This root is complicated. This root is far-fetched.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: And you love Jesus and you worship Jesus and you
1:06:32
Speaker 1: praise Jesus, but you go home and you wrestle with
1:06:34
Speaker 1: this root. And it's a root of loneliness and it's
1:06:37
Speaker 1: a root of anger and it's a root of lust
1:06:40
Speaker 1: and it's a root of unforgiveness and it's a root
1:06:42
Speaker 1: of anger. And the enemy keeps telling you what you
1:06:45
Speaker 1: would have had if things would have been different because
1:06:47
Speaker 1: he's trying to kill your faith that God can get
1:06:50
Speaker 1: you there anyway. That you can be in the pit.
1:06:53
Speaker 1: That you can be in Potiphar's house. That you can
1:06:55
Speaker 1: be in the prison and still end up the prince.
1:06:58
Speaker 1: But the Lord sent me here tonight to tell you
1:07:01
Speaker 1: that your destiny is secure. That God is going to
1:07:03
Speaker 1: bring you into the fullness of his purpose. And he's
1:07:06
Speaker 1: going to uproot that sycamine tree. That rooting system, the
1:07:11
Speaker 1: things they said, the things they did, the things you
1:07:15
Speaker 1: heard that brought you to where you are right now.
1:07:18
Speaker 1: You're a king's kid. You're on the verge of deliverance.
1:07:22
Speaker 1: The anointing of the Holy Spirit is here right now.
1:07:25
Speaker 1: And God is about to do something amazing in your life.
1:07:28
Speaker 1: Glory to God. Glory to God. They're still coming. Don't
1:07:31
Speaker 1: miss this opportunity. Don't let your pride hold you in
1:07:34
Speaker 1: your seat. Don't let your fear hold you back. You're
1:07:38
Speaker 1: in the presence of the King of Kings and the
1:07:40
Speaker 1: Lord of Lords. And God is going to give you
1:07:43
Speaker 1: a pure heart so you can see him. So you
1:07:46
Speaker 1: can see him. Before this year is out, you're going
1:07:49
Speaker 1: to see God in a way you never saw him before.
1:07:52
Speaker 1: You're going to love God in a way you never
1:07:55
Speaker 1: loved him before. You're going to reach God in a
1:07:57
Speaker 1: way you never reached him before. Before this year is out,
1:08:02
Speaker 1: God is going to uproot that tree. That bitterness is
1:08:05
Speaker 1: going to go. That anger is going to go. That
1:08:08
Speaker 1: frustration is going to go. Lift your hands up and
1:08:11
Speaker 1: open your mouth. The spirit of God is in this place.
1:08:18
Speaker 1: father these are your sons and these are your daughters
1:08:21
Speaker 1: these are your people these are your children like a
1:08:25
Speaker 1: mama fights for a child you will fight for them
1:08:27
Speaker 1: you will go to war for them you will battle
1:08:29
Speaker 1: for them their enemies become your enemies i cast all
1:08:33
Speaker 1: my cares on you right now i will not carry
1:08:36
Speaker 1: this another day i will not carry it another day
1:08:39
Speaker 1: i will not lay up at night thinking about it
1:08:42
Speaker 1: I will rebuke the images, the pictures, the memories, the scars,
1:08:45
Speaker 1: the constant rehearsing of how I got wounded and how
1:08:49
Speaker 1: I got hurt.
