T.D. Jakes Sermons Tell the Devil I Changed My Mind Part 1 - The Potter’s House of Dallas · THE WORLD'S BEST PREACHER

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Look at that 17th verse just a moment.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: And when he came to himself, he said, How many
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: hard servants of my father have bread enough and to spare,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and I perish with hunger.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And when he came to himself.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Reach over and shake your neighbor by the hand and say, Neighbor,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: tell the devil. I change my mind. My brothers and sisters,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what a joy and what a blessing it is to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: share the word of the Lord with you today. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: am so honored to be in your home and to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: be a part of your life and that God has
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: allowed me to share his word with you. We're showing
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: some TVJ classics, some of those Messages that are timeless
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and I believe have revelation in them that you yet
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: can benefit from. This one I'm excited about. Tell the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: devil I changed my mind. As a man thinketh in
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: his heart, so is he. If you change your mind,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you can change your outcome. Take a look at this.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We've got a father in the text who has two sons.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The only other character that's mentioned here. In the text
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: is a nameless citizen of a far country that the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: younger son attaches himself to in the time of adversity.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So we have in this text four expressed characters and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: one implied character. His name is never mentioned and there
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: is no particular reference made to him. But there is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a character that is implied in the passage that we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: must talk about and that is Satan. He always drapes
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: himself and hides himself and he generally doesn't come to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the forefront because his strength is in anonymity. As long
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: as he can be invisible, he does his best works
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in the shadows. And though he is not expressed, he
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is implied in the text before us.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We have here a.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Certain man, could be any man who has faith Two
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: sons and the younger of the two sons has said
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to his father, give unto me the portion of goods
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that falleth to me. Now because he has asked his
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: father for substance or wealth or inheritance, we have presumptuously
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: assumed that he asked his father that because he was greedy.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I want to deal with that erroneous concept. This young
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: man was not greedy. It is not a rags to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: riches story. He is not somebody who came from the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: wrong side of the tracks and was looking for an
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: easy break to move to the east side.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He was a young man who was born with a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: silver spoon in his mouth. He didn't come to his
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: father and ask him for money so that he could
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: change his standard of living. He was born into money.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Asking his father for the money would have never made
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: him any richer than he already was. He already had servants.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: He already lived in a palace. He already had people
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: waiting on him and taking care of him and running
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: bath water and wiping his mouth and hanging his clothes
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and taking care of him. He had it going on,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: but the problem was he wasn't satisfied to have the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: benefits of the house. He wanted control of the house.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: We are not looking at greed or a lust for money.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We are looking at a lust for power. He wants
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to be in control of his future. He says, Father,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it's not enough that I'm living the blessing. I want
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you to give it to me so I can do
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: what I want to do, when I want to do it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: how I want to do it. Now notice just a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: detail or two. It was the younger son that came
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to the father and said, give me the portion of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: goods that falleth unto me. But the Bible says he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: divided unto them his living. So even though the younger
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: son made the request, Because of his request, the father
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: divided unto them, meaning both sons, his living. But incidentally,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it would help you to understand that the younger son
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: got a blessing and the elder son got the blessing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But isn't it funny how some folks, when they get blessed,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: will change? Some people can receive a blessing differently. from
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the Lord and come up in their standards and be
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: able to get authority and power and still maintain their focus.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Other people, the moment they get two nickels and a dime,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they start acting like strangers you never knew before. They
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just cannot handle the blessing of the Lord. One good
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: blessing and they can't speak to anybody. And one good
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: blessing and they're shaking your hand with three fingers out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about? One good blessing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Just to finally get a dress that wasn't $ 69.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: 99 and now.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You can't speak to anybody when you come in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: house of the Lord. But this younger brother exemplifies this
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: situation because he got the blessing and he stayed in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the house for a while, but it wasn't too long
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: before he became.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Restless in the house.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Now there is a doctrine that I want to touch
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: on before I really jump down into this text. It
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is implied, it is the doctrine of Balaam that is
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: mentioned in the book of Revelations. The Bible calls the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: doctrine of Balaam a doctrine that God hates. And I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: want to acquaint you with the doctrine of Balaam because
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it is subtly at work in my text. Now if
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you follow me, I'm going somewhere. The doctrine of Balaam
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is preempted on a concept that says that Satan does
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: not have a witch.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Or a warlock or a root.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Worker or a dust thrower that can curse what God
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: has blessed. That Balaam has employed Balak to work a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: curse on the nation of Israel and this experienced man
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: This experienced sorcerer could not find in his book of
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: recipes a spell or a hex, a root, or some
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: dust he could throw, an incantation or a maneuver that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: could curse what God had blessed him. Hear me today.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: If you are blessed, you don't have to live in
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: fear of being cursed. Because hell cannot curse what God
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: has blessed. Look at somebody right in the eye and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: tell them I'm blessed. See, sometimes we're too timid about
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: letting people know that we're blessed. We try to act
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: kind of pitiful so that we can get along with people.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: But from time to time, you need to let them
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: know I'm blessed. There's power in being blessed. Say amen, somebody.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: When you understand what blessed is. Now, you're not blessed because...
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of what you wore to church or because of the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: house you live in or because of the kind of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: shoes or how much money you have in CDs or
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: annuities or anything like that. You're not blessed because of
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the house or the car or the shoe, the husband
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: or children or wife or anything like that. That's not
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: really what I'm talking about. Those are the symptoms of
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: being blessed, but that's not the root of being blessed.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Because the real truth of the matter is you can
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: be broke.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Busted, and disgusted and still be blessed.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You can have to catch the bus and wear your
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: sister's shoes and your mama's hat and your Aunt Lucy's
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: pocketbook and come in with an empty pocketbook with newspaper
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: down in it and still be blessed. For a man's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: life does not consist in the abundance of things which
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: he possesses. Blessed goes far deeper than anything that a
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: CPA could account for or that you can get interest
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: on in a bank account or that you can hang
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in a closet or send to a cleaner's or have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a mechanic work on. Blessed is deeper than that. Blessed
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: isn't even visible or tangible. It is an invisible state
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of being where the favor of God is upon your life.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And hell has a tough time trying to do something
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: with you when you're blessed. Now there are many definitions
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: for blessed. And one of the many definitions that are
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: given for blessed is happy. And happy is okay, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it is a little weak of a definition for being blessed.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Because happy comes from the Latin word hap, where we
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: say happen, which means something has to happen in order
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: for you to be happy. But you can be blessed
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: when nothing is happening. You can be blessed in a cold, dark,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: dormant world. moment of your life and know, sit like
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a lady sitting at the bus stop waiting on the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: bus to come and know that in spite of the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fact that it hasn't happened yet, that if you just
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: wait a little while longer, that the blessing of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Lord will run out and overtake you and you don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: have to do nothing but sit there and pat your
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: foot and know that the.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Blessing is here. On his way. See, I'm blessed. And
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether it's.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Winter, spring, summer, or fall. Whether it's midnight or morning.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I might have to weep all night. But don't worry
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: about me. Let me cry. Because joy is coming in
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the morning. Simply because I am blessed. And the devil
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is limited in being able to do anything to somebody
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: who's blessed. Because he can't stir up or mix or
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: conjure anything that can curse you when you're blessed.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I asked the Lord.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I said, Lord, I'm tired of asking Webster and Vines
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and Strong's Exhaustive and everybody what blessed is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I said, if anybody knows what blessed is, let me
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: ask you. And so I asked him. And this is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: what he told me. He said, to be blessed.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: is the uncanny, innate ability to succeed over adversity.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: If you feel like nobody appreciates you, stay in the house.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: If you're real food wounded in this area, stay in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the house. Broke, busted, and disgusted, but I'm going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: stay in the house. Going through hell and high water,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay in
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the house. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: their strength. They shall mount up on wings like eagles.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Run and not be weary. Walk and not pray. Tell
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: somebody to stay in the house.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: What arose in America as the biggest event of its
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: kind is back.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: And now the stage is set.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You have never seen a meeting like this.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Together again at Megafest 2013.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: We're taking over Dallas. You're going to catch abundance.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: You're going to catch God's blessings. Encouraging women.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Peacemaker is somebody who declares war on anything that disturbs
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: their peace. There is a principle that will cause a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: shift in your situation. If he can deliver me, he
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: can deliver you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Equipping men.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: We have more fear in running out than we do
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: faith in running over. Everyone must betray it, claim dominion
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: over it, and take it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Back to the kingdom.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: This is going to be big. Elevated to walk in
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: that destination.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Meet us in Dallas, Texas, August 29th through 31st. Register
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: at mega-fest.com or call 1-800-BISHOP-2 today.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: We do it big in Texas.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: To be blessed is the uncanny innate ability to succeed
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: over adversity. I said, well, if it's the uncanny innate
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: ability to succeed over adversity, that means that I can
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: be blessed and still have adversity. He said, it's adversity
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that lets you know that you're blessed. Yeah, because if
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you weren't going anywhere, the devil wouldn't be trying to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: fight you, you see. And then you can tell when
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a person's blessed, not because they don't go through anything,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: but when you're blessed, when it's all over some kind
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of way, you always come out of it. You might
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: have dirt up under your fingernails. You might have scuffed
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: your knee or skinned your leg. But when it's all over,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you'll always come out because you're blessed.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Tell somebody, tell them, I am blessed. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I've been through hell and high water, but I'm blessed.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: If you are blessed, the Lord says, no weapon.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: No weapon formed or mixed or conjured or stirred or fried.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Or baked or boiled. No weapon formed.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That means you can get a piece of my hair,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: but it ain't gonna work. You can get a piece
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of my clothes, but it ain't gonna work. You can
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: get my picture and burn wax on it, but it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: not gonna work.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed!
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going through a bit of trouble right now, but
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I came to tell you it ain't going to work.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: The enemy's trying to set you up, but it ain't
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: going to work. High five somebody, tell them this ain't
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: going to work either. The last one didn't work, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the one before that didn't work, and the test last
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: year didn't work, and the test last month didn't work.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's going to work. Because I am Well, let me
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: talk to you.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Sit down.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: We got to get to the point.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Now. I feel the anointing in here.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: This is what you got to understand.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: The devil knows you're blessed. And he's worried about it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: He really wants to mess you up. But in order
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to really do what he wants to do, he's got
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to get you out of the blessed place. He has
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: got to do something to get you out of the house.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: When you start talking about staying in the blessed place,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you're staying in the place of covenant. You're staying in
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the place where the riches and the promises of God
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: are coming.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: To pass in your life.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: There are three blessed places that I want you to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: hold on to and don't let nobody move you out
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: of it. I want you to stay in the blessed
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: place of the sanctity of marriage if you are married. Stay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: invest your anointing into the covenant of marriage.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Your marriage does matter.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It does matter how you relate to your spouse because
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: it is a covenant. It is a contract and it
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: is a shelter for you. It's a shelter for your passions.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It's a shelter for your needs. It's a shelter for
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: your personality. It's a shelter for your dysfunctions. It is
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: what God has given to you when he saw that
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: it was not good for you to be alone. Don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: disagree with his gift. If it's not operating correctly, read
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the manual. Somebody say yes, Lord. The next blessed place
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I want you to hold on to is the blessed
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: place of ministry. Don't give up the ministry God puts
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you in. Come hell or high water, stay in the house.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: People who don't stay in the house don't do well.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Because when God gets ready to speak a word of deliverance,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: if you're not in the house, you can't hear it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Somebody who really needs to hear this message this morning
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: didn't come. And no matter how much you tell them
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: what it was like, they will miss some of the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: electricity of the touch of God. Because you have to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: be there to get the full effect. When the hammer falls,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you got to be up under it for it to... Oh,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you don't hear what I'm saying to you. Then you've
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: got to stay in a blessed state of having a mission.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That's your purpose. That's your goal.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You've got to have something that you focus on that
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you don't move away from because the enemy will try
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: to move you. He'll try to move you away from
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: your marriage. He'll try to move you away from your ministry.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: And he'll try to move you away from your mission.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And so we've got to get into the B clause
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: of the doctrine of Balaam. Because the doctrine of Balaam
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: simply stated, says this, when that old hex thrower couldn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: curse Israel, he said, I can't curse them because they're
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: too blessed.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But if I can get them to come out of.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: The blessed place, I can perhaps get them to curse themselves.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Look at somebody and say, don't curse yourself.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: The only thing you have to worry about is cursing yourself.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: You don't have to waste time going on a witch hunt,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: chasing down demons. You don't have to chase down rumors.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You don't have to chase down gossip. You don't have
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to change anybody's mind about you. You don't have to
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: change their attitude. Your blessing is not predicated upon anybody
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: else's opinion. Your blessing is not being held up over
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: who doesn't like you or who doesn't believe in you
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: or who's not with you or who doesn't want you
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: to get the promotion on your job or who doesn't
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: want you to get the loan. When God gets ready
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: to bless you, he'll make your enemy bless you.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: He'll make somebody who hates you bless you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: When God gets ready to open up a door, he'll
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: prepare a table before you right in the presence of
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: your enemies. The only thing you have to worry about
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: is not cursing yourself. The enemy knew that the only
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: way he could get his hands on you on this
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: prodigal son was to get him out of the house.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And so he sent a restless spirit. Somebody say a
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: restless spirit. You have never seen so many restless spirits
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: as we're seeing in the church today. Restless spirits. Folk
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do. They're not happy at home.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: They want to hurry up and get dressed so they
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: can go to church. Soon as they get to church
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and sit down. They get restless in church so they
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: can get up and go back home. They hurry out
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: from home to get to church, then get to church
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and hurry out of church so you can get back
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: home and sit down in your chair instead of our chair.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Just a restless spirit. Folks who are real thin are restless,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: eating and drinking, weight on and going to Nutrisystems and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: trying to find something that they can take to put
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: weight on. Folks who are overweight, restless, wishing they were thin.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: The fat folk want to be thin. The thin folk
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: want to be fat. The young folks are acting grown.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: They're trying to act old. And the old folks is
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: wearing short dresses and trying.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: To act young. Folks who got long hair are cutting
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: their hair off. And folks who don't have no hair
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: are gluing....
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Folks who don't have a job are giving up a job.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Folks who don't have a job are trying to get
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: a job. It's a restless spirit. Folks who are married
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: trying to get rid of their husband. They sick of him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: They want to be single. Single folks waiting at the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: door saying, throw him over here, baby.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I want him.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Folks going through all kinds of changes. It's a restless spirit.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: When a runaway spirit gets down in you, you aren't
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: happy anywhere.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You move on this side and you want to be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: over there. You move over there and you want to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be over here.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Satan will send a runaway spirit into your life. He'll
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: try to make you run away from your ministry. He'll
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: try to make you run away from your marriage. He'll
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: try to make you run away from your mission. Because
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: he knows that if you stay in the house, he
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: can't stir up anything. He can't mix up anything. He
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: can't conjure up anything to kill you. He's after you.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: He wants you. He's been looking at you and longing
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: for you. But he can't reach you because you're too blessed.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: The Lord sent me all the way from the clay
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: hills of West Virginia to get... an urgent message to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: somebody who's in a faith fight. The Lord told me
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to tell you, stay in the house. I don't care
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: what comes or goes, stay.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: In the house.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Even if you got tears in your eye, stay in
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the house. If you feel like nobody appreciates you, stay.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: In the house.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: If you're full wounded and discouraged, stay in the house. Broke, busted,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and disgusted. But I'm going to stay in the house.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Going through hell and high water. But I'm going to stay, stay, stay, stay.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Stay in the house. They that wait upon the Lord
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: like eagles. Run and not be weary. Walk and not fray.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Can somebody say stay in the house? The only thing
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: wrong with this prodigal son is that he left the house.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And the enemy says, come on. I can't get you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: in the house.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Come on. Come on out of the blessed place. Come
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: on out in the yard. Come on out and play.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Come on out and play. Somebody in here has gone
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: outside to play. Come on.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I want you. I want you, but I can't. I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: can't reach you. I really can't.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Quite reach you. I tried to destroy your child but
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I couldn't quite reach you. That's why the car wreck
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: didn't kill you because I couldn't reach you. When you
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: went to the hospital last year I was trying to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: get you but I couldn't quite reach you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to drive you crazy. I've been trying
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to drive you over the edge. I wanted you to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: have a nervous breakdown but I can't reach you. I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: can't reach you. Come on a little closer. Come on
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a little closer. I want you where I can get
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: my hands on you. And so he's in a restless spirit.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: And the prodigal son began to come just a little
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: bit closer out of his house. And when he came
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: out of his house, see there's a time once you've
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: been blessed, you can be blessed a while and be wrong.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I know some of y'all ought to say amen. Out
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of the wheel and out of the way.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And still blessed. And so he had his stuff with him.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And he was out there carrying on and still living. Say,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I got the best of both worlds. I'm doing my
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: thing and I still got the blessings of the Father.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm going on. And he had his stuff.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: And the Bible said that if you stay out there
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: long enough, you're going to start spending your substance in
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: riotous living.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that it said substance and not money.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Because if it had just said money, you'd have thought
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: that the only thing you lose when you play with
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the enemy is money. But let me tell you the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: real deal. When you start fooling around with the enemy,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: you lose more than finances. You lose your integrity. You
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: lose your self-esteem. You lose your dignity. You lose your self-respect.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You lose your stuff. Look at somebody and tell them,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: hold on to your stuff.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Hold on to your stuff. Your determination. What the Jews
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: call hispa. Your staying power. Your guts. Your tenacity. Your
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: ability to take a licking and keep on ticking. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Your survival instincts.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Your overcoming instincts. Touch somebody and tell them don't lose
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: your stuff.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Right back for more after this.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Move beyond offense so the door to total freedom can
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: be thrown wide open.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: You don't think you have forgiven until your emotions let go.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: But that means that your emotions are running you and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you are not running it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: It's forgiveness on a whole new level.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: The reason you are not happy is that your mind
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: is filled with all that clutter and it's building up
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: in you and you have no peace.
• 26:14

• 26:17

  Speaker 2: to share the word of the Lord with you. I
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: pray that God would strengthen you in ways beyond human comprehension.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I cannot articulate the demography of all that you need
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: God to do for you. I do not understand the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: topography of your situation, but I do know a God
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: who sits high and looks low, has all power in
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: his hand, and he can take a panoramic view of
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: your situation and affix his power to your purpose and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: bring it to pass for his glory. He's got a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: plan for you, and I'm excited about it, and you
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: will not want to miss it.
• 28:16

• 28:18
  Speaker 1: together again.

• 28:22
  Speaker 4: This is the part of suffering in me
