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