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