  Speaker 1: Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm ready.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the book of Numbers, chapter number 13,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: verse number 26 through 33. The book of Numbers. And
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: there you will find my assignment for this morning. My
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: assignment is to deliver you the word of the Lord.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: So you need to be listening at the word for
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the word. Listening at the word for the word.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Val, I have been thinking about how when you say
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the word of God, the church thinks the Bible. But
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the Bible says in the beginning was the word. There
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: was no Bible in the beginning. Oh, y'all can't handle that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So the word of God is more than the text.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, man shall not live by bread alone, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So that means as I deliver the word of God
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: through the text, there will be a word of God
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that comes out of the word that is rhema to you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And the Holy Spirit will say, this is about that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: This is how you handle that. This is how you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: do that. Isn't that good? We're in the book of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Numbers chapter number 13 verse 26. If we are in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the book of Numbers, we are on the precipice of
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the promised land. I was shocked when I went to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the promised land to see how close Moses got to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to the promised land. From Mount Nebo, you can see
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the Jordan. He got so close to it. He got
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: very close. Things get tough when you get close. Now
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all the people, the only people who ought to be
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: shouting are people where things have gotten tough. Things get
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: tough when you get close. They were so close that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Moses has sent spies to case out the place. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: in the book of Numbers, we're going to have that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: discussion today. Numbers 13, 26 through 33. They came back
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Kadesh in the desert of Paran. There they reported to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: them and to the whole assembly and showed them the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: fruit of the land. They gave Moses this account. We
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: went into the land to which you sent us and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: it does flow with milk and honey.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Here is its fruit.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: In other words, what we have been thinking all through
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the desert is not a lie.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It's there. It's real.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: What God has been promising you is real. It exists.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It is really worth the journey to get there. It
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: really does exist. This report is very important. And they
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: let him know, first of all, the land is there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: It does exist.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It is real.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And the reason I stopped there, I'm going to text
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: teach it a little bit for a minute. The reason
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I stopped there is that the devil is on your
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: shoulder saying, that's not real. That's not going to happen.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: That's not going to come to pass. But Moses sent
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: spies to spy out the land. And they came back saying,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it's real.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It's there. It exists.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: There is a land that flows with milk and honey.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And milk and honey is an expression for abundance and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: increase and sweetness and provision. It's a colloquialism. There is
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a land that flows. It doesn't literally mean that the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: promised land had milk flowing in the rivers and honey
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: flowing in the river, but it was that abundant that
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the only way they could describe it is that it
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: flows with milk and honey. And so they are saying
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: your hope is not in vain. Ooh, I'm preaching already.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But the people who live there are powerful. And the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: cities are fortified. And they're very large. We even saw
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Gav.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites live in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: hill country. And the Canaanites, well, they live near the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: sea along the Jordan.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Now watch this.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, we
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: should go up and take possession.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Of the land.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: For we can certainly do it. That's what Caleb said. Oh,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I love you. You were right with me. He said,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I like his spirit. I want you to understand that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Caleb said, we should go up and take it. Not
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: talk about how much it costs. Not talk about the opposition.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Not talk about the sacrifice. We should go up and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: take it. Somebody say, we should go up and take it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But the men who had gone up with him, we
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can't attack those people. They said, we can't attack those people.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They are stronger than we are. And they spread amongst
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: They said the land we explored devoured those living in it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: All the people we saw there are of great size.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Those people are huge. We saw the Nephilim there, the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: descendants of Anak come from Nephilim. We seem like grasshoppers
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in our own eyes. And we look the same.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: To them.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Go back to that verse where he, Caleb, steal the people.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Then Caleb silenced.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: The people before Moses and said, all of those people
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: murmuring and complaining, all of those spies were And Caleb
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: silenced them? My subject this morning is outnumbered.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Outnumbered.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: This is a prophetic utterance. More than a sermon or
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a Bible class. Outnumbered. Isn't it funny that God would
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: give me the subject outnumbered in the book of Numbers?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: God has a sense of humor. Spirit of the living God,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we embark upon the mission of espousing to your bride
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: those truths that have been tailored to the continuity and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the curves.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: In her life.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Speak to us out of the volume of the book.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Tailor the text to the needs of your people.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Extract from it. Extrapolate from it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Those truths of such profundity that we are transformed literally
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: while the word of God is being preached. So as
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I preach to them, Holy Spirit, you echo in them
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The word that they need for the times that they
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: are in.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I sanctify this word.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: To everybody online, everybody in the room, everybody in the building,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: everybody seeing on Facebook, on YouTube, whatever device, through the app,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: however you're looking, that you would have a God encounter
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of supernatural relevance. Now I believe you to do it
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in the name that has been exalted above every name.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus we pray and all the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: people said amen. You may be seated. Yeah, let's go
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to work. We are in the book of Numbers. In essence,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it is one of the books of the Pentateuch, the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: first five books of the Bible. We are in the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: book of Numbers, and in other words, we are in
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the book of a census taken by God through Moses
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to count and categorize and regiment and organize.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Who's with us.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: We want an accurate accounting of what we have. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the book of Numbers is preoccupied.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: With numbers.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: And numbers become very important Now, numbers are very important
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to people who like the numbers, okay? People who have
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: large investments check them every day. But numbers shrink in
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: relevance to people who feel inadequate.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But I want to challenge.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Those who feel like they are not enough or they
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: don't have enough. I want to challenge you that until
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: you count up what you have, you can't get what
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you're about to receive. For example, if the little boy
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: didn't know that he had two fish and five loaves
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: of bread, we might not have the miracle with the 5,000.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: When they said, how much do you have? He didn't say,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know because it's not enough. Knowing gives us
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a sense of control. Even the woman who was about
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to bake a cake and die knew she had a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: handful of meals. The woman who had so much debt
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: that she was about to sell her sons knew that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: she had a pot of oil.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Do you know what you have?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Paul and Silas said, silver and gold have I, but
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: such as I give unto thee. See, if you don't
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: know what you have, you become vulnerable to deceit. If
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you don't know what you have, you won't protect it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: If you don't know what you have, you won't value it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: If you don't know that your grandmama's watch has got
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: real diamonds around it, you won't insure it. The enemy
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: capitalizes off of ignorance. I don't want to look at
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: my credit report. Well, you can't fix it if you
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: can't look at it. I've got a surgeon in the room.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: He can't operate if he can't see. How can you
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: fix what you will not look at? I don't talk
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to that daughter. She crazy. If you don't talk to her,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: she'll never get better. So speaking that word and speaking
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that challenge and speaking that thought is very, very, very
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: important if you're going to be able to go any further. Moses,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you have gone as far as you can go without
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a census. Numbers are important to God. When they got
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the two fish and five loaves of bread from the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: boy in the New Testament, then Jesus told the disciples
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to set the people, the 5,000 down in groups of 50.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: He said, count every last one of them and organize
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: what you have. So a proper accounting is important to
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: run anything. I talked to one of the entrepreneurs, young
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: entrepreneurs here at the church, and he said, I can't
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: seem to get up on my feet. I can't seem
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to get myself together. And then when he told me
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: that he was taking the business money and mixing it
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: with the personal money in the same account, I said,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you can't go forward because you can't see. Separate your
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: business account from your personal account Even if you have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to pay yourself from your business account, you can't see
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: what you're doing. If you mix everything together, you can't
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: tell what you've got and you will hamper where you're going.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: So because they were about, Jesus was about to perform
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a miracle, he's getting organized by numbers. And in the text,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: because Moses is getting ready to take the promised land,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: he's getting organized by numbers. Last year they did a census.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And it was important that you fill out the census
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: because it determines how the taxes are distributed and whose
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: roads get done and whose schools get income. And so
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: many things.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Are in control by numbers. The numbers.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You go into the doctor to get a physical, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the first thing they want to do is put you.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: On a scale.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And I think, look, I didn't come in here to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: hear how fat I am. I came in here because
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: my knee hurt, but you want to put me on
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the scale. Because the numbers measure the impact.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: On the knee.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So you can't just fix the knee without assessing how
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: much pressure is on it. And by the way, what
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: do you do for a living? How long are you standing?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: What are you going through? You know, they ask you
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. And Moses has given them a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: series of questions in the upper part of the chapter
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that I didn't read because he is doing an evaluation
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: of what will it take to take over?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: What will it take to take over.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: What will it take? When I counsel couples, I ask
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: them and they're fighting, they don't come to me till
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: they're mad. I mean they real mad. They won't come
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to couples class or anything like that. They won't come.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: They come when all hell is breaking loose and they're
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: on the way to the courthouse and they stop by
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the church. And they really don't want me to fix
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the relationship. They want me to validate who's right. But
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the first thing you begin to do is ask a series.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Of questions.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Because those questions help us not only to evaluate, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: for you to be introspective and hopefully in the process
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of asking the questions, you cease to worship around the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: throne of who's right and begin to ask yourself, what
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: will it take To make this marriage work. Okay, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: understand she cheated on you and you're angry about it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: What will it take for you to forgive her? Until
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you answer that question, how much does your forgiveness cost?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: 150 I'm sorry's.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Just give me a number.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Generally they don't know.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And as long as you don't know what it will
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: take to recover, you'll never get better. What will it
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: take to move this relationship forward? What will it take
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to get us to our destiny? What will it take
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: for my son to graduate? What will it take for
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: me to be able to apply for this grant? What
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: will it, I'm not gonna fill out a form for
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a grant when I don't know what it takes to win.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Or let me say it in biblical language. No man
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: goeth to bill without counting up the.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: You'd be surprised at the people who go to bill
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: and they have not counted up the cost. They don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: read the small print. All they want to know is
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: how much are their payments. See.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Uninformed people want to know how much are the payments.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Informed people want to know how much is the interest.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Because if I'm going to have to make them payments
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of my life for the car, that means
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I paid for the car 12 times and the sticker
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: is alive because of the The entrance, and who pays
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the closing costs? If you don't know what to ask,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you can never change your situation. So Moses begins by
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: telling them, not only do I want you to go,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: because if you send people into a room without an objective,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: it becomes a tour. I trained our staff. When we
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: have a business meeting and we have a strategy meeting
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: every year and all the people I'm going to do
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: business with from everywhere comes in and we sit down
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: at the table, come into the room with an agenda.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: We are not really there for lunch. So don't let
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the dry chicken distract you. Eat a cracker and close
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the deal. You might not even get to eat the
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: lunch at all. The lunch is camouflaged. And Moses is
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: on the precipice of entering into something so massive and
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: so big and so different and so unlike anything he
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: has ever seen. See, Moses has never seen the promised land.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: He has only heard about it. God is about to
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: give you something that you have never seen.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Shadabah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: You've heard about it, but you have actually never seen it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You didn't grow up in it. You hadn't been exposed
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to it. You don't understand it, but God keeps waving
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: it before you in dreams and visions. And this is
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: what is called exceedingly abundantly above all.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That we may ask or think. I can only imagine.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I'm saying God is about to give you something that
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: you can only imagine. They have come 40 years on imagination.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: And this is the turning point where imagination becomes reality.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: And before they ever even send the spies, they want
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: to get the numbers and the questions ready. We want
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to know who we are, what we have to offer,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and we want to know who they are and what
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: they have. He had some questions about the land, questions
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: about this, questions about that, questions about the other. Are
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you asking enough questions to prepare you for what you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: about to step into? Marriages survive when you ask the right.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Questions.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: And not make assumptions. Because you could be working hard
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: to give the other person something that they don't need.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And the only way you can find out what they
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: need is to ask.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Questions. So the book of Numbers.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Is a census and Moses is sending the spies over
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to do an inventory on what's next because he is
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: humble enough to know, I know how to live in Egypt.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I know how to address Pharaoh. I know how to
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: survive in that culture. I know how to survive in
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: the desert. Because I learned how to survive in the
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: desert by staying out there with Jethro. But I don't
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: know how to possess what's next.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I want to talk.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: To somebody this morning that you're about to possess something
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that you don't even know how to do. And you've
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: been looking at it a long time, afraid of it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Because there is nothing in your background that has prepared
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: you for your future. I mean a radical change. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: don't mean a continuation of business as usual. I mean
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: stepping into another dimension of anything you have ever done
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: before and you've been afraid of it and you've been
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: staring at it and you've been looking at it and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you've been thinking about it and you've been dreaming about
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it but you haven't been moving on it because you're
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: afraid of it. I rebuke the spirit of fear. Greater
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: is he that's in you than he that's in the world.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: God is going to do what God is going to do. Oh,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I feel a shout coming in the house. I feel
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: a praise coming in the house. As my spirit receives
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: this word and ingest it and digest it and appropriate it,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it also drives out the toxicity of fear and intimidation
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and procrastination. You're not procrastinating because you're lazy. You're procrastinating
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: because you're afraid. Ye shall know the truth and the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: truth shall set you free. How big are they? What
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: does the land look like? What do they wear in
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: that setting? What is an appropriate conversation for what's next
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: in my life? feel a prophetic I'm going to take
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: my time with this because I feel like this is
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: prophetic in the life of somebody that you've been knowing
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of years that things were about
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: to shift for you And you've been standing there staring
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: at it. You heard about it. You felt it. You
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: sensed it. But it doesn't fit where you came from.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: And God is going to cause you to take a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: leap of faith into a realm that you've never been
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: in before. And you're going to step into it. The
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: entrance of thy word giveth light. The entrance of thy
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: word giveth light. When you take in the word, it
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: gives light, which when you have light on the inside
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: is called enlightenment.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Enlightenment.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Enlightenment cannot be measured. External light can be measured. The
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: lumens from external light can be measured, but the lumens
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: on internal light, there is no mechanism to control enlightenment.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: The devil doesn't mind you turning lights on on the outside.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want you to have lights turned on on
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the inside. But this word that I'm preaching to you
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: this morning is getting ready to lighten you up until
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you are enlightened and prepared for what God is about
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to do next in your life. Whatever you do, don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: click me off right now because I'm getting ready to
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: get you ready for what you're about to step into.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: God doesn't want you to step into it as a fool.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: with assumptions and ideas that are inaccurate. Because if you
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: step into it as a fool, when the wind blows,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the house will come down because you didn't build it
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: on a rock. You didn't build it on a fact.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: You didn't build it with a clear understanding. So Moses,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in an attempt, to assess, he's already done an assessment
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of who he's got with him and what he has.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: He is now assessing what he's up against. He doesn't
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: start a fight without assessing what he's up against. He
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't make assumptions about what it takes To do what
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I see. It's one thing to hear me preach on
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning. But you cannot assess what it costs to
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: be me by watching me preach on Sunday morning. Because
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: that is just the best shit in the world.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: What we're just paid to run this. You don't know
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the multiplicity of issues and actions.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: That are necessary that goes into any procedure.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: You don't know that if we're going to.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Have a leadership conference, we have to make sure that
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: we put people.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: In the safest possible environment. So that means we have
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to spray the road. We have to change the lights.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: We have to make sure that we do social distancing.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: We have to count all of their costs.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Because of the times that we're moving in, extra measures
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and precautions have to be taken and we have to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: meet about it and we have to talk about it
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and we have to strategize and we have to talk
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: to the hotel managers and we have to manage their
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: expectations and their cleanliness and their methodology before we do recommendations.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It's not about just, can you speak to the leaders?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: It's about making sure that you have done due diligence
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: to protect what God has given you. So Moses has
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: assessed what he has, and now he has sent the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: spies to assess what he's up against.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Have you had anybody spy out what you're up against?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I get calls all the time from people who say,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I wanna, they say, The interviewers ask me all the time,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: what's a typical day in the life of T.D. Jakes,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: which I laugh because there is no typical day. Every
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: day is a surprise. You know, every day is different.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Every day is new. Every day is unpredictable. And it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: hard for me to describe for them that there are
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of things I can't do. People who want
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you to have an appointment every Monday and every Wednesday
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: at 2 o'clock drive me crazy because my Mondays and
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Wednesdays are not typical. Suppose I have a funeral. Suppose
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I have a crisis. Suppose we're shooting a movie. Suppose
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I have an interview about the movie. Suppose we have
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a situation where we have to negotiate to be able
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: to provide products for a hospital overseas. I can't be
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: locked up.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: To a schedule.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Other people might be able to do that. So you
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: have to know what your need is like and then
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: assess what you're up against. The text before us is
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: after the analysis behind it that has evaluated what they have,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: and now they're going to see what it takes for
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: what's next. Because never assume that what's next is like
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: where you've been. Never assume that you can get married
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and still be single. Never think for a minute that
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: having a baby won't change the whole dynamics of the marriage.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Somebody ought to be shutting me down right now. Every
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: change in what's next affects everything that was. So the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: biggest part of leadership is thinking. And you can't, thinking,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: you can't do great thinking with poor information. Oh, that's
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a tweetable right there. You can't do great thinking with
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: poor information. Footnote, be careful who feeds you information. Because
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: somebody feeding you bad information will cause you to make
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: bad decisions, could cause you to be killed. When somebody
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: sends me an article, the first thing I look at
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: is who wrote it? How reputable is the company? Is
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: this legitimate? Where did it come from? Then I validate it,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: especially now. So Moses is doing validation. He sent 12
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: scouts to assess the feasibility of taking back the land.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: He is taking back what has been promised to his forefathers,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: not what has been promised to him because he has
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: never seen it. But 430 years of being in Egypt
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: has not taken away the promise of God. 400 years
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: of being a slave has not taken away the promise
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: of God. Some kind of way, though the word was
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: diluted and polluted by the Egyptian theology and their way
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: of life, still the rumor persisted that where I am
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: is not where I'm from. that I'm an immigrant to
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: this situation. And some kind of way the rumor had
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: persisted that there was a promised land. You can't move
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: from a place when you think that you belong in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the place. You can never move from poverty if poverty
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: has become your normal. The day you accept it is
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the day you're defeated. Many of you heard me tell
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: us how I walked in my house one day in
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: West Virginia years ago and we had first got married.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: We were young people and the house was there and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: it was okay. It was sort of okay, a little
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: bit in a way. And, you know, it was kind of,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: cruddy and everything I walked in the house and I
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: started talking to the house and I said to the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: house I said to the house I said to the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: house I said to the house you're.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Lying on me.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Now I know that sounds kind of crazy and there
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: might be some therapists that want to meet with me
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: after service but I talk to stuff I told the
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: house you a lie This is not my reality. It
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: might be my situation, but it is not who I am.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: It might be where I got to be at this moment,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: but this is not me. And you are lying on me.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: And I was living in a lie. And then I
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: told the house, I'm better than this. I hadn't seen better.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: But down in my spirit I knew that I was
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: better than what was around me. I was better than
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: choosing which utility I was going to keep on. I
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: was better than having to use my neighbor's phone. I
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: was better than dropping their cable line through my window.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I'm in it, but I'm not of it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: That's why you got to tell your children who they
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: are and keep reminding them who they are because if
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: you don't remind them who they are, somebody else will
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: lay hands on them and make them what they're not.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: They will molest them. That's what molestation really is, is
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: to make me what I am not because you're making
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: me what you need me to be rather than what
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I am. Oh, I'm on a roll this morning. I'm
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: in my zone this morning. Hell is in trouble this morning.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Demons are in trouble this morning. I want you to
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: get ready for me. Get ready, get ready, get ready.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Because I feel the flow of the Holy Ghost in
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: this place. I feel a wind about to hit this place.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I feel the power of God about to shatter this place.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I feel shatter. It's going to shatter every misconception that's
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: held you down to the same level and said you
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: can't be anything else.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Is a liar.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Phelan Rushe Alakajar, one of the richest black women in
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the world, who is in oil and went from fashion
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: to oil, started out as a secretary in the bank.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: So she's typing around it. She don't have it, but
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: she's typing around it. And the spirit of prosperity fell
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: on her. And so she went from being a secretary
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: to being a seamstress to being a stylist to being
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a fashion designer that hit the Paris runway. Then she
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: flipped the money from the Paris runway and put it
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: in oil. and she bought some property that they thought
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: would never be worth anything. In fact, she bought it
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the water, and they laughed at
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: her and thought she was a fool until she hit
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: a whale. Somebody in this place is about to dig
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: your way into some.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: The men that... That Moses sent were not just 12
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: men he picked at random. No, no. They were the
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: heads of the 12 tribes of Israel. So they had influence.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: And you have to understand they had influence. They had leadership.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: They had insight. They had impact. He picks these 12
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: men to go. And they are going into a city
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: knowing that when they get there, though they are 12
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and representatives, they know that when they get in the city,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: they're going to be outnumbered. It's not like it's 12
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: men going to visit 12 men. The Hittites were there.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: The Jebusites were there. The Canaanites were there. The sons
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: of Anak were there. They had all of these people.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: They knew they were walking into a situation where they
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: were outgunned. They knew they were carrying a knife to
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: a gunfight. They knew they were carrying a checkerboard to
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: a chess game. And still they went. Can you go
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: into a situation where you're outnumbered? because that determines whether
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: you're going to be able to go into the promised
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: land if you can only work with people who look
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: like you and dress like you and walk like you
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: until you're willing to walk into a room where you're
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: outnumbered you'll never receive what God has for you There
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: were 12 men, 12 leaders representing the 12 tribes of Israel,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: each one having influence over different tribes. Oh, let me
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: stop there for a minute and say, even though Israel
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: was moving, they had tribes. Tribalism exists in progress. You
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: can't wait till everybody is one to move. If America
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: only moved when America agreed, we would get nothing done.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Not only do we not agree now, we have never
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: agreed about anything. And one time the agreement got so bad,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: it broke out to a civil war and still the
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: country survived. And you might be having a civil war
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: in your house right now. But just because you're at
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: odds doesn't mean you can't survive. I've seen folks stay
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: married who fought every day. And the folks who was
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: walking around hugging and kissing broke up in three years.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Can I go on? They knew that they would be outnumbered.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: What they didn't know is whether they would return. Look
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: at the courage it took for all 12 of them
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: to go into a land where they're outnumbered.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And to not be certain that they would ever come back.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine being the wives or the sons or
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the daughters of one of these 12 men and you're
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: packing their bags and you're sending them out, and you're
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: kissing them at the door, and you're watching them as
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: they go away, and you're wondering, is this the last look?
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: They could have been killed. They could have been murdered.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: They could have been destroyed. When you get ready to
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: make your next move, you have to understand and.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Live with the fact I could kill.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Might go bankrupt. Might not come out of it. This is,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: progress is not for the faint of heart. Can I
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: preach this? The part of the text that I'm focusing
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: on right now describes their return. So they did come back.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: And they lived to tell it. I told them when
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: the pandemic started and all the young people, younger than
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: me in the church were laughing because I put protocols
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: in place in my house, in my life, in my car, everything.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: And I told them somebody got to be alive to
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: tell what happened. So I already had my speech prepared.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: What had happened was they was arguing about the mask
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: and vaccines and stuff. And that's how big it is.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: You got a plan on coming back. Somebody shout, I'm
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: coming back. Anybody getting anything out of this or am
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I just, I don't.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Know.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Now they come back with a report, and they come
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: back to report to Moses. I don't understand this part
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: of the text, and I think Moses is a great leader,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest leaders in the Old Testament, amazing person,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: a mentor to me in many, many ways. I don't
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: understand this. I don't understand why he let the 12
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: spies come back and make a public report. I don't
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: understand that. I would never do that. I would never
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: do that. To me, no contemporary leader would get a
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: report from your top men with a news station. Because
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: you don't know what they're going to tell you. And
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I would rather hear that information, process that information, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: disseminate that information. Until you have a respect for information,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: you can't be trusted with information. The moment feels like
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: a CSI abduction story. You know in CSI when the
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: police have surrounded the bank and set up boundaries and
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: begin to ask all kinds of questions and they call
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: for the architectural designs of the building and they want
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: to know what the ventilation system is like and how
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: big is it and they want to know how many
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: entry doors and access there is. And they want to
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: know what would happen if they cut off the heat
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: or the air or the power. And they want to
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: assess everything. How many hostages are in the building? Where
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: are they being held? And what type of weapons does
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: the enemy have? It's that kind of feeling. But they
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: don't do that with cameras. The press is put out
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: while the facts are coming in. Don't tell your story
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: too soon. Because we're still fact-finding, we're still gathering information.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: And you'll hear the police make reports sometimes. No, I
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: can't answer that question. We can tell you this, we
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: can tell you that. We can't answer that question. It's
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: still up under investigation. When the investigation is complete, we'll
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: give you updated information. While you're still in a stage
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: of investigation, don't start bragging. If Joseph would have followed that,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: he would have never ended up in the pit. Don't
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: tell your brothers you're going to be king before you're kings.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: or they'll throw you in a pit and tell your
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: daddy you're dead. Let's get the architect's blueprint. This kind
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: of fact-finding moment isn't done in front of the press
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: or around a whole lot of people. Yet Moses is
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: gathering intelligence and exposing it to the public.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: In real-time speed. And I'm like tripping off of this.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Because the intelligence that he's gathering is relative. And intelligence
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: is always relative. Intelligence is based on perspective. And so
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: you don't want to send out mixed messages to multitudes.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Because if you send out mixed messages to multitudes, it
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: creates murmuring. That's why I want you to delete some
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of your pictures on your Instagram Because one moment you're
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: talking about how good God is and your name on
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: there is Big Breast Betty. And you're sending mixed messages
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: and we don't know which one of you. Did I
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: say that out loud? I didn't mean to say that.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I apologize, Big Breast Betty. I didn't mean to call
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: your name out loud. In the middle of my sermon.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: But there has to be a continuity of information.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I know. It's a cultural thing. Pray for me.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: You can't create trust with conflicting truth. And so they're
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: having a private debate in a public place. 10 of
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: the spies have said, we can't do this. There's no
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: way in the world we can do this. Now look
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: at this for a minute, wait a minute. The option
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: to not doing this is living in the desert where
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: we have been for the last 40 years. When you
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: look at the option of not going forward, It will
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: give you courage to fight the opposition. Because I don't
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: know about you, I'm more afraid of stagnation than I
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: am opposition. I would rather fight the opposition than to
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: succumb to the frustration of stagnation and wasting my life
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: being stuck in the same spot. Do I have anybody
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: related to me in here? Are you from my tribe?
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Holler at me if you ready to make a move.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Only Joshua and Caleb brought back a positive report. Two
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: men out of 12, again, outnumbered. Their report is a
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: true report. But they were outnumbered. I won't focus on
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Joshua as he will get a lot of face time
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: in the scriptures. He will fight the Amalekites. He will
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: become Moses' successor. He will split the Jordan River. He
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: will march around the walls of Jericho. He will defeat Jericho.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: He will successfully subdue the promised land. I'm not going
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: to spend a lot of time on him because he
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: gets a lot of face time in preaching, a lot
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: of face time in scriptures, a lot of face time
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: in history. But I am fascinated by Caleb. And I'm
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: shocked that Joshua, who is mighty in battle, did not
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: silence the crowd with his ability to fight. And I'm
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: fascinated that Caleb, who has less FaceTime, seemingly has more influence.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Can I go deeper? Can I go deeper? The Bible,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: so I started studying Caleb. Caleb, the Bible says, has
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: another spirit. He's just a different kind of guy. But
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: what about Caleb?
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: What can we know? Who is this man.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Who silenced the entire congregation? Millions of people shut up
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: when he spoke up. What do we really know about him?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: He is outnumbered in the text. One man stood up
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: and silenced the whole crowd. The first thing he teaches
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: me is use your voice. Even when you're outnumbered, use
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: your voice. Don't let anybody take your voice. I have
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: a right to my opinion. I have a right to
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: say what I think. I have a right to speak
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: how I saw it. Even if everybody else sees it
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: another way, I still have the right to say what
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: I saw. He's outnumbered by the 12. He's outnumbered in
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the details. Provided in the Torah, he is mentioned in
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: the Quran, but not by name.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Caleb has a low profile, but a powerful voice.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: What gives him the power to silence this crowd in
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: such a dynamic way and see what 10 others did
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: not see? No wonder the Bible said he had another spirit.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: When you see what others cannot see, you can do
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: what others cannot do. Glory to God. I'm going to
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: say it again for the people in the back. When
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: you see what others cannot see, you can do what
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: others cannot do. Good God Almighty. Type it on the line.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: When you see what others cannot see, you can do
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: what others cannot do. Caleb had another spirit. And the
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Bible said that because Caleb had another spirit, God blessed him.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: God will bless you if you're willing to be different.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: If you step out from the herd, if you get
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: away from the pack, if you're willing to be ostracized,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: if you're willing to be cussed out, if you're willing
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: to be cast down, God will bless you. Not somebody
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: tell him I got another spirit. I got another spirit.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: The devil don't know who he's fooling with. I got
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: another spirit. I got another spirit. I was cut off
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: another piece of material. I got another spirit. I'm not
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: trying to be like you. I'm not trying to fit
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: in with you. I'm not trying to win you. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: am who I am. You like me or you don't.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: This is it. Check it out. It is what it is.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: My God, can you feel the anointing that's in this place?
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Can you feel the anointing? Somebody's faith is leaping up
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: and down in their belly. Somebody's getting a witness down
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: in their soul. Somebody's getting a confirming word on the stream.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Somebody's getting the confidence to go where they've never gone before.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: And everybody says you're a fool, but you're willing to
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: be called a fool and laugh at because.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: You have another spirit.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: And God said he's going to give you a voice
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: that will silence your enemy, that will silence your critics,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: that will silence your opposition, that will silence your store.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: God said when you open your mouth, he's going to
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: shut them up. Now somebody say, I'm outnumbered, but I'm
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: all right. And give God a praise. I'm outnumbered, but
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I'm all right. I'm outnumbered, but I'm all right. I'm outnumbered,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: but I'm all right. Serena, I've always been outnumbered, but
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I've always been all right. I'm outnumbered, but I still
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: believe that God's word is true.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: If you got the spirit.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Of Caleb, give me three seconds of Holy Ghost.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I'm all right. I'm all right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: I'm all right by myself. I'm all right if you
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: don't say amen. I'm all right if you don't like me.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: I'm all right if you don't like what I got on.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I'm all right. I'm good with it. Can I feed you.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit more? Sit down, sit down.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I want to feed you just a little bit more.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I'm running out of time. But I feel something. But
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I feel something. But I feel something. And I feel
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: something about to break. And I feel something about to
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: break in the spirit world. And when it breaks in
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the spirit world, it's going to break in every area
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: of your life. When it breaks in your belly, you're
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: going to flood your situation. When it breaks in your heart,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: it's going to renew you. Oh my God, somebody's praying
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: for me and I can feel it. Somebody's got my
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: back because I can feel your hand in my back
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: pushing me forward.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to break this yoke before I sit down.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to break it. I'm going to break it.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Let me move on, I gotta hear. Traditional Jewish scholars
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: record a number of stories and theories about Caleb, which
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: expand on the biblical accounts. It expands on it in
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: many significant ways. One account records that Caleb wanted to
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: bring produce from the land, but the other spies discouraged
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: him from bringing the produce from the land to avoid
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: giving the Israelites a positive impression of Canaan. So the
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: spies were arguing, how much do we show them? If
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: we show them how much they can have They're going
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: to get excited about possessing the land. Only Caleb wanted
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: to expose them to what's next. There are very few
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: men that are confident enough in who they are to
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: expose you to what's next. Caleb pulled out his sword
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: and got ready to fight. He said, I'm not going
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: back empty-handed. We got to show them something. And they
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: argued about it and they almost went to blows about it.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: And the historian said that they settled on the fact
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: that they would at least show them the grapes. So
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: they pulled, check this out, a cluster of grapes. Now
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: I know what a cluster of grapes is. I have
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: eaten a cluster of grapes. But this cluster of grapes
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: was so big that it took two men... to be
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: able to carry it. And the Lord told me to
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: tell you that what he has for you is not
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: what you saw at the grocery store. It's not what
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: you saw.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: In the magazine.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: But it's so big, it's gonna take two men to
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: carry back one cluster. Nice people will say, this is
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: going to be big.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: This is going to be big. be big.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: This is going to be big. This is going to
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: be big. I can tell by the giants. I can
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: tell by the fight. I can tell by the sickness.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: I can tell by the struggle. I can tell by
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: the demonic attack that's been launched against me. Whatever God
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: is about to do, it's going to be bigger than
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I could imagine. It's going to be greater than I
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: could ever conceive. It's going to be exceedingly abundantly above
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: all the exceedingly abundantly above all that I exceedingly abundantly
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: above all.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: That I can. I got to get ready.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: I can't get ready for grocery store grapes. If I've
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: got grapes so big that it's going to take two men.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: And Caleb wanted to bring more produce. But because the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: 10 spies did not want to incite the people to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: possess the land, they discouraged him. He fought them back
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: and at least got to show them the grapes. I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: want to talk to somebody. You don't know all the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: details yet, but you have seen the grapes on what's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: next in your life. Every person who's dragging some grapes
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: that are prophetic to where you're going, give him a
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: moment of praise in this place.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, I see the grapes. I see the grapes. It's heavy.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm carrying the grapes. It's bigger than I expected.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: But I'm carrying the grapes. I got to go into
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: a partnership. But I'm carrying the grapes. I had to
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: open up a limited liability partnership. But I'm carrying the grapes.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: What God is getting ready to do for you, you
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: can't do it by yourself. You've gone as far as
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: you can go by yourself. These grapes are big. These
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: grapes are big. These grapes are big. These grapes are big.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: These grapes are big. These grapes are big. The devil
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: don't like it. Hell don't like it. The witch don't
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: like it. Your body is fighting you. Your health is
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: fighting you. But the devil is alive. If I gotta
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: drag it back, So I went a little deeper and
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: I started reading the Midrash and a Midrash is a
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: commentary on Old Testament theology that includes both the written
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: and all interpretations of the scriptures.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: And it's called a Midrash.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: And when you read the Midrash, it opens up insight
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: that Caleb is fully devoted to the Lord and to Moses.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Until you can be faithful to that which pertains to
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: another man, You can never have your home until you
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: can work in somebody else's house as if it were
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: your house. You can't conceive what God can do in
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: your life. Somebody give me more time. I feel the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost about to break a yoke. And when the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: yoke is broken, the blessings are going to flood your life.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Get ready to swim in it. Get ready for it
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: to overshadow you. Get ready for the power of God
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: to come down.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: In your life.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: So the Midrash says that he was wholly devoted to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: the Lord and to Moses. splitting from the scouts, he
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: also went over into Hebron on his own and visited
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: the graves of the patriarchs to remind himself of what
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: he came from. Whenever I get in a fight, I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: go back in my past and tell the devil, you're
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: not fighting the T.D.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Jakes they know. You fighting the storefront, T.D. Jakes. You
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: fighting the T.D.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: Jakes that was preaching and frying chicken and selling dinners.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: To keep the church doors open. You fighting the country, T.D.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Jakes, that preached with a towel wrapped around his neck,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: that left wet spots in the floor. And not only that,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: you're fighting my mother. You're fighting my grandmother. You're fighting
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: my grandfather. You're fighting my great, great grandfather. All of
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: my ancestors are standing up here preaching with me.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: All of my ancestors.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: You're fighting all of Mississippi, all of Alabama. You're fighting Nigeria.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: You're fighting Ghana. You're fighting the West Coast. All of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: my ancestors are down inside of me. People who survived
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: against all adversity. People who ran away and threw balls
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: of cornbread at the dogs that were chasing them. And
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: that's why they're called hush puppies. because it would hush
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: the puppy long enough for them to run. You can't
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: handle this. I'll throw bread in your face. I'll shut
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: up your barking. I'll run through the woods. I'll weave
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: rice in my hair and live off the rice. You're
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: fighting everything I came from. So the midrash said, I'm
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: almost there. Don't let me go because I'm just not
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: getting to the part of life. Took me a while
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: to get there. The midrash said that Caleb had a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: voice that was so loud that when they got ready
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: to get the grapes, they had to drive off the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: sons of Anak. And Caleb shouted so loud that the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: giants ran. And the Holy Ghost said to me, tell
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: my people you can bring it down with a shout.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: If you open your mouth, The giants will run. If
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: you open your.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Mouth, the wall will crumble.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: If you shout, God's giving you a voice. Caleb had
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: a strong voice. That's why he shut up the enemy.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Stop being quiet. Stop being cute. Stop being polite. Pull
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: your earrings off. Open up your mouth. Take off your shoes.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: This means war. Devil, this means war. Shall ye? Shall ye?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: I dare you to shall ye.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: My God, I.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Feel the Holy Ghost about to take over this church.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: I feel the Spirit of God speaking to somebody in
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: this room. I feel demons running for exit doors because
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: somebody opened their mouth. I feel cancer fleeing the building
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: because somebody opened their mouth.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I feel the power. I feel the power.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Tell the devil I'm getting ready to shout. I'm getting
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: ready to scream. I'm getting ready to holler. I'm getting
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: ready to go to war. You can't have my stuff.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: You can't have my peace. You can't have my joy.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Glory to God.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Glory to God. Glory to God.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Give me 30 seconds of Holy Ghost shout music.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Sing divine deliverance. I got a feeling. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: in the balcony. Yes, on the back row. Yes, on
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: the musicians. Yes, in the pulpit.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: Open your mouth and shout.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Give him a praise in this place.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: Glory, glory, glory. Glory, glory, glory. Glory, glory, glory.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: I see the warriors.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I see the warriors.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: I see warriors all over this room. I see warriors
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: that ain't going to take it laying down.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: You will open your mouth and shout.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: You're outnumbered. But the power is in your mouth. You
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: shall have whatever you say.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this and I'm going to stop.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Caleb is the son of Jephthah. And Jephthah's ancestors were Kenizzites.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: And the Kenizzites dwelt in Canaan. And the reason he
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: went to the tombs of the patriarchs was to remind
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: himself that this is my natural habitat. It might feel strange,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: but this is the land of my forefathers. And when
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: he began to remind himself that these grapes are normal,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: to who I am. They might feel heavy, but they're normal. Ooh,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like preaching so bad.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: To who I am, it might feel strange, but it's normal.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: To where I came from, until you think you have
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: a right to be blessed, the devil will talk you
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: out of being blessed.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: But I came to serve notice. Devil, you a liar.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: This is my stuff.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna let you have my stuff. This is
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: my house. You may be living in it, but it's
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: my house. Suddenly I understood why Caleb had a different report.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: He had a different perspective. He had a different perspective.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: He had a perspective of ownership, not stewardship. The tombs
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: reminded him of his story, of his ancestry, that the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: only reason you're in this mess is that the enemy
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: is sitting on your land And we're not stealing from them.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: They're squatters.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: All of the Canaanites, all of the Hittites, all of
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: the Jebusites had come in since Abram had left. They're
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: squatters on my land. Give me my stuff back. Give
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: me my house back. Give me my peace back. Give
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: me my joy back. Give me my family back. Give
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: me my child back. Are you crazy? That's my child.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody standing.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: The amazing thing was this. You see, 10 spies brought
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: back what the Bible says was an evil report. But
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: it didn't say that they were lying. They were not lying.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Evil doesn't always lie. The ten spies were reporting the facts.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: The facts were the Jebusites dwell in the land and
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: the Gerishites dwell in the mountains and the Canaanites are
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: down by the river. The facts were we also saw
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: the sons of Anak and the facts were the sons
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: of Anak were huge. And no matter what you do
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: with this text, you cannot negate the fact that the
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: sons of Anak were as big over them as people
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: are over grasshoppers. This is not just low self-esteem talking.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Be the facts. We were in their sight as grasshoppers.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: We were outnumbered. They were taller than us. They were
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: more than us. Their cities were walled. They did not lie.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: The fact that the Bible said it was evil doesn't
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: mean it wasn't true. It calls it evil because it contradicts.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: The facts contradict the truth. For example, the facts are
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: you are in debt. The truth is God will supply
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: all of my needs. according to his riches and glory
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: the fact is you got a lump in your breasts
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: the truth is by his stripes we are healed the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: facts are you have a need right now the truth
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: is the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Ten spies brought by facts, two spies.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Brought by truth.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: And when all the facts are over, it is not
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: the facts that set you free. It is the truth
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: that sets you free. The truth is, if God be
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: for you, he's more than the world against you. The
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: truth is, if God is on your side, you can't
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: be outnumbered. The truth is, one can chase a thousand
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: and two ten thousand. You have to decide.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Are you going to live by the facts?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Or are you gonna fight for the truth?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Facts have sent innocent men to jail. Facts have caused
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: unnecessary surgeries. Facts have made descendants give up heirship to property.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: The facts are they're about to sell Grandpa's house for
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: back taxes. The truth is, if we all get together,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: we can take it back. You have to decide right now.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: You hear what I said? Right now.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Before you click off, you have to decide right now.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: Are you going to live by the facts? Or are
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: you going to stand for the truth? Caleb stood for
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: the truth. And he stood so long that Moses died.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: Caleb was still standing. At 85 years old, Caleb was
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: still standing. And 85 years old, Caleb said to Joshua,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: I serve faithfully under Moses. And Moses said, I serve
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: faithfully under you. Now give me this mountain.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: He's 85 and he's still under attack.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: He's 85 and he's still using his voice.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: He's 85. Wait a minute. He could have chose a land.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: That had already been conquered. But the spot he picked
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: out meant he had to fight at 85.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Listen at me.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Everybody my age and older The day you stop fighting
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: is the day you stop living.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Strengthen yourself.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Drag yourself up and tell God, give me something to fight.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: As long as I got something to fight, my limbs
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: will move. Motion is lotion. I got to keep moving.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: If I stop fighting, death will take me. I ain't
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: going out like that. Caleb was 85 years old. And
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: he said, give me something to fight. But Caleb, if
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: I give you that piece of ground you're asking for,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: You're going to be outnumbered. I've been outnumbered all my life.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: I've been outnumbered all my life. I'm used to being outnumbered.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: I can still win it. Listen at me. There's something
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: in your life that makes you think you're disqualified. You
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: didn't finish school. You had a baby out of wedlock.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: You went through a divorce. You come from a broken home.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: Your emotions are shattered. We all got some reason to settle.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: But we also got a reason to fight. If an
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: 85-year-old man has not lost his voice and has not
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: lost his fight, I'm not saying he ran like he
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: did when he was 40. But I'm saying he was
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: a bad 85. He was a tough 85. Because it
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: ain't the years on the body. It is the mentality
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: of the mind. As a man thinketh in his heart,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: so is he. I told the Lord, I don't care
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: what you do with me.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: I'm yours.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: I don't care where you place me or how you
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: plant me, I'm yours. But always leave me something to fight.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: Give me a reason to get out the bed in
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: the morning. Give me a reason to shave my face
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: and get dressed and have something to do. Because when
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: I run out of something to do, I run out
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: of reasons to live. Young folk, get up off your grandmama's.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Couch and fight something.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: You'll never find out how smart you are, how tough
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: you are, how strong you.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Are until you fight back.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: And I know you're outnumbered. But fight back. I know
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: the odds are against you, but fight back. I know
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: the facts are against you. But the truth is you
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: got to fight back. Fight the facts back.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: Well, the stats say you're at risk. And the stats
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: say that a person from your background isn't going to
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: go anywhere but to jail.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: And the stats say, I don't care what the stats say.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to outnumber the numbers. So I preach to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: you about being outnumbered in the book of Numbers. Because
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: the numbers may be against you. But you can outnumber.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: The numbers.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, sir. I love the way you shouted that out.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: I love the way you shouted that out. Because hell
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: heard you say that. When you said, yes, I can,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: demons heard you say that. When you said, yes, I can,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: sickness heard you say that. When you said, yes, I can,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: weakness heard you say that. Somebody shout, yes, I can.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: As I come to a close in this message, this
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: is a word for people whose facts outnumber you. But
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: the truth is God gave them everything that was against them.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: the truth overcame every fact that the spies reported. And
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: in the end, the truth beat out the facts. So
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus does not say, you shall know the facts and
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: the facts will make you free. You shall know the
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: truth And the truth shall set you free. So Jesus
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: walked over to a woman who had been bowed over
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: for 18 years, bent in a way that she could
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: not lift up herself. And she came to Jesus bent over.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Jesus never said, woman, you are bent over because those
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: were the facts. The truth said, woman, Thou art loosed.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: And the moment the truth hit the facts, the facts
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: came into alignment with the truth. The Bible said immediately
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: she straightened up herself. That spirit of straightening is in
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: this room right now. That spirit of divine alignment is
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: in this room right now. That spirit of empowerment is
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: in this room right now. That spirit of speaking against
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: the multitude and stilling the voice, silence the voice of
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: all of those who are murmuring.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Shut them up.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: I have always said the best answer to criticism is success.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: God told me to tell you to shut their mouth.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: He's not going to do it for you. You have
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: to speak up. Because the power of life and death
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: is in your tongue. As I prepare to close today,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: if you want to sow in this prophetic word, sow
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: into this prophetic word. If your business needed this prophetic word,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: sow out of your business into this prophetic word. If
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: you needed this word, sow into this prophetic word. What
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: does that mean? It means build an altar and offer
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: up a sacrifice. As an acknowledgement is God, I hear
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: you talking right to me. I heard what the preacher said,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: but I also heard what you said through what the
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: preacher said. You talking to me about something I've been
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: scared of. Something I've been running from. Something I felt
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: like quitting about. And you just pushed me in the
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: back and stopped me from procrastinating. Everybody heard something different.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going back to school. Somebody's opening up a business.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: Somebody's starting a mission field. I don't know what it
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: is that God told you was your promise. But I
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: do know that God is tired of you settling on
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: your wilderness because you're afraid of your promise.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: And I'll give you a moment. I won't beg. I
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: won't plead. I won't give an amount.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: I won't. That's between you and God. I don't know
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: what it's worth to you. I have no idea how
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: big your grapes are. Look at somebody and say, I
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: got big grapes. One cluster took two men. You're going
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: to need partnerships. You're going to need alignment to carry
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: what God is getting ready to drop on you. Now
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: you go on and be hard-headed and be solo, you're
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: going to lose your grapes.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: God is doing something.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: I don't feel no waste happening. I told my wife,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: I've heard from the Lord. She knows I walk around
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: the house looking funny until I heard from the Lord.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: Once I hear from the Lord, we can go anywhere.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: We can do anything that we got to do. But
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: until I hear from the Lord, I don't want to
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: come to you until I have heard from the Lord.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: She said, you all right? I said, I'm good now.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: God told me to preach outnumbered. The 2022 International Leadership Summit.
