00:00:19 if you're in the metro Atlanta area on a Sunday, check out one of our exhilarating
00:00:23 services at 830 a.m., 11 a.m. or 6 o'clock p.m. Our scriptural text today comes from
00:00:30 the book of James. James is the brother of Jesus. He is a very practical and no
00:00:38 nonsense kind of a teacher. My favorite scripture is James 1 22, "Be ye doers
00:00:48 of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own selves." Is this same
00:00:54 James, the apostle of Jesus, the brother of Jesus, that begins to give us these
00:01:01 words in James chapter 3 and verse 13. Notice, "If you're wise and understand
00:01:07 God's ways, prove it by living an honorable life." If you're wise and
00:01:15 understand God's ways, prove it by living an honorable life and by doing good
00:01:24 works with humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous
00:01:32 and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don't cover up the truth with
00:01:37 boasting and lying, for jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom.
00:01:43 Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy
00:01:50 and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. But the
00:01:56 wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all
00:02:02 times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good
00:02:07 deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are
00:02:12 peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. I'm
00:02:20 talking today from the subject "Next Level Discernment." Next Level
00:02:25 Discernment. Discernment is a mark of maturity. In a world that is filled with
00:02:31 so much falsehood and so much fakeness and so much confused identity, we need
00:02:37 greater discernment. The greater the problems, the greater the discernment is
00:02:43 necessary. The more complex our issues are, the greater discernment that we need
00:02:49 in times like this. You need to be able to discern the signs of the time. You
00:02:55 don't have to know a day or an hour, but know when the season, when the
00:02:59 season, when it's time to change. You know how ridiculous that we would look when
00:03:05 you live in a part of the world where you have four different seasons of the
00:03:09 year? You know, some places it's hot year-long and they just have a rainy and
00:03:13 a dry season. But if you experience all of the seasons of fall and winter and
00:03:18 spring and summer, wouldn't it be ridiculous for you to still be dressed
00:03:22 in the winter the same way you dress in the summer? You have to be able to
00:03:26 discern the season so you know how to do the right thing at the right season. And
00:03:33 that's why there's some people who are confused in the seasons. It's
00:03:38 90 degrees, it's 30 degrees Celsius, and it's burning up. It's hot and
00:03:46 humid and a person is out somewhere with a fur coat on. That's not
00:03:52 being able to discern the season. Just as it's not discerning the season, you're
00:03:58 a grandparent and you're still in the club trying to hang with — you partying with
00:04:05 your grandchild in the club. You better get your ointment and go ahead and rub
00:04:13 yourself down and sit in the tub of Epsom salt or something and get
00:04:18 yourself together before you break something and throw something out of
00:04:25 place. Next level discernment. But I want you to notice a distinction here in the
00:04:35 different kind of wisdom here. It says, "If you are wise," verse 13, "if you are wise
00:04:40 and understand God's ways, prove it." Don't just tell people how wise you are. And
00:04:45 see, we're living in a day now where we have a lot of smart people but not a lot
00:04:51 of wise people. And just because you're smart and know a lot of stuff and because
00:04:55 you go to school and get some degrees, almost everybody I look at now, everybody
00:04:59 got a degree, everybody got a master's and working on another master's and got a
00:05:02 doctorate, and they got more degrees than a thermostat. And yet they don't know how
00:05:08 to pour water out of a boot. They don't know how to come in out of the rain. I'm
00:05:12 not against education. You ought to get all you can and can all you get. But it
00:05:17 takes discernment to even know what to do with the education. Please understand,
00:05:24 education is expanding your toolkit. Education is a toolkit. Because if a
00:05:32 hammer is the only tool that you have, you'll treat all of life's problems like
00:05:36 a nail. Not everything is a nail. There are some things that need a Phillips
00:05:42 head. And some things need a vice grip. And some things need a wrench, a wrench
00:05:47 that you can adjust the socket size there to be able to fit certain things.
00:05:52 But if you've only gotten one tool, you limit and you can potentially
00:05:58 damage things because you've got the wrong tool. So education gives us tools.
00:06:02 Now it takes wisdom to know which tool to use when. So that you're not applying
00:06:07 the wrong answer to the right problem. It takes discernment. So
00:06:15 that's all that education is. So we've got a lot of smart people that have
00:06:19 degrees and they've got a lot of learning and they've had access now
00:06:23 because we live in the information age. They've got information galore. And we've
00:06:29 got a lot of smart women but not a lot of wise women. And we've got a lot of
00:06:35 smart men but not a lot of wise men. Where are the wise men? My God. If you can
00:06:42 get your wise man, he may not have a degree, but if he's wise, if he's wise he'll
00:06:48 know how to come home.
00:06:50 If he's wise, he's not gonna try to be the Mac Daddy to everybody and you know.
00:07:05 Because when you start doing some of these things, you know, they come with a
00:07:11 price tag. They really do. So we need wisdom. We need discernment. Wisdom is a
00:07:19 function or discernment is a function of wisdom. It's a function of wisdom. But I
00:07:24 want you to realize when he's talking about this kind of wisdom, notice in
00:07:29 verse 13 that if you are wise, if you are wise, and if you understand God's ways,
00:07:36 prove it by living an honorable life, an honorable life, and by doing good works
00:07:44 with humility. Not doing good stuff and putting it on the front page of the
00:07:48 paper. Not trying to blast it out all over, you know, social media and tell
00:07:53 every good thing that you've done. Because when you tell people all of
00:07:57 the good that you do and then they celebrate you, the Bible says you have
00:08:00 your reward with you. But what you do in secret, God will reward you openly. And
00:08:08 I'm just telling you that there's a whole lot that the key to people's
00:08:13 success is not where they went to school. Their key is the stuff that they did in
00:08:19 secret. How they, when they were struggling through school and they were
00:08:23 tempted to dropping out of school, and when they were struggling and having to
00:08:27 take a second job to even try to pay the tuition and try to figure this thing out
00:08:31 and find out how am I gonna make it through this, and they were praying, "Oh
00:08:34 God, if you just help me to be able to get through this biology test, if you'll
00:08:37 help me God, to be able to deal with trigonometry, if you'll help me God to
00:08:41 get through this." And if we saw what they did in private, in secret, and now when
00:08:48 they're marching there and to the glorious pump and splendor song when
00:08:54 you go by there to get your degree. They see that, the degree and all of the
00:08:58 vestments that come, but what they didn't see was your crying out in desperation,
00:09:03 where you were stressed out, pulling your hair out, trying to figure out and trying
00:09:09 to study all of the time and barely making it and barely wondering how the
00:09:13 well am I gonna pay next month's tuition. Men, that's a different level of
00:09:21 the secrecy of it, and so this is why the wise understand God's ways and they
00:09:26 prove it by an honorable life and by doing good works with humility, with
00:09:33 humility, with humility. There's something about humility that helps us. Proverbs
00:09:38 chapter 11 in verse 2 says this, "Pride leads to disgrace." Pride, pride precedes
00:09:43 the fall. You're gonna be disgraced if you got your nose in the air, you're
00:09:46 looking down in condescension toward other people, acting as though you are
00:09:51 better than other people because of where you live, because of the kind of title that
00:09:54 you have. Listen, all of that is is just enriched dirt. I mean it's still dirt. I
00:10:04 mean we're all made from dirt. It's yours is just enriched. It's just it's been
00:10:11 fortified with vitamin A and D and B and C and all you know you got iron and
00:10:15 phosphorus and you got all of it's just enriched. But those minerals, the vitamins
00:10:22 are already in the dirt. They're already in the dirt. You discover what God has
00:10:28 already hidden in you. God hides things. The Bible teaches in the Proverbs that
00:10:35 it is the wisdom of God, the glory of God that conceals a matter. It says God says
00:10:43 I hide things on purpose so that only curious people will discover it. The
00:10:49 greatest gift that you could ever have in your life is to maintain a heart of
00:10:52 curiosity. They say God teach me, God help me to know more than what I know
00:10:57 now. Father help me to be able to understand things and how they relate
00:11:01 one to another. Reading is not just calling out or printed symbols. Reading
00:11:07 is comprehension. It's being able to understand in context what this thing
00:11:12 means. That's a part of next-level discernment. And real next-level
00:11:18 discernment is not looking at where things are. It's looking at where things
00:11:22 are going. Listen, I used to love going to the arcade and taking those things where
00:11:29 they used to have a, it was like a rifle. And inside of the screen there
00:11:33 would be like little moving things, little ducks and stuff going across there. If I
00:11:37 shot where the duck was by the time that the ray got there, I missed it. I had to
00:11:44 anticipate where it was going. Are you listening? If I'm gonna be able to hit it,
00:11:49 it's on a trajectory. And I'm having to anticipate where it is right now and the
00:11:55 approximate speed that it is traveling and where it will be by the time I'm
00:12:01 able to get my finger on the trigger and then pull this thing and by the time the
00:12:05 trajectory gets there, I'm having to anticipate not where it is but where it
00:12:11 is going. That's next level discernment. The best way that you can help your
00:12:17 children is not to prepare your children for a day that no longer exists, but for
00:12:23 where technology is going, where the trends are going, where the need will be.
00:12:28 You've got to be able to prophetically say, "God, help me to be able to prepare
00:12:32 my children or my grandchildren with where the world is going." What's the
00:12:36 world going to need? What are we going to need? What are we going to need? And
00:12:41 sometimes we're at a place in history now great discerners are going to
00:12:45 discover this, if what we really need is to get back to simplicity because
00:12:51 complexity is destroying us and it is simple things that begin to recalibrate
00:12:58 us. It's the simple things. It's the simple things. When Tiger Woods was on
00:13:04 top of the world and receiving all of the accolades from it, one of his close
00:13:08 friends said that he he took up scuba diving. I said, "Why are you doing this?"
00:13:13 He says, "Because when I'm down at the bottom of the ocean, the fish are the
00:13:18 only ones who don't know who I am." And there he was able to find some
00:13:24 recalibration of his soul down in the deep stillness of the waters. He leads me
00:13:31 beside the still waters and then he restores my soul. See, our souls get
00:13:38 sick because we've been in too many moving things and we need to be able to
00:13:43 be in a silent place where nobody knows your reputation. But there is a humility
00:13:52 that comes out of that. Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
00:14:00 With humility comes wisdom. You know why wisdom comes with humility? Because
00:14:05 humility is teachability. Humility is not weakness, it is strength under
00:14:11 control. It's a huge difference. But humility is teachability. You cannot
00:14:17 teach a man or a woman a lesson that he or she thinks that they already know. So
00:14:26 that's why humility comes with wisdom because humility says, "Teach me." And
00:14:31 every place that I go I'm saying, "Teach me," because everybody is my teacher. I
00:14:37 learned from winos. I've had, I mean some winos can be some incredible
00:14:40 philosophers. I mean they may be drunk and sort of slurring their words and
00:14:44 everything, but I'm telling you they have dropped some pearls of wisdom. I went
00:14:47 home and put them in my journal. I'm like, "Dude, here's Einstein out here, you know,
00:14:52 slobbering on himself, but he knows, I mean, that dude is dropping, you know what I mean,
00:14:55 dude, you don't know what you just said." And the old folks used to say, "If you're
00:15:00 so smart, why ain't you rich?" See, real wisdom here is not just about knowing
00:15:06 the thing, it's actually living the life of integrity. It's doing it, it's doing it,
00:15:13 it's actually doing it. It's not enough to know it. Smart people know it, wise
00:15:17 people do it. Wise people do it. And see, that's the problem. Yes, there is wisdom
00:15:23 in the mouth of the alcoholic. There is wisdom in the prostitute. They just don't
00:15:27 do it. They're smart. Smart people know what to do. Wise people know what to do
00:15:35 and do it. That's the huge difference. That's all that he's telling us, but
00:15:39 it says humility comes with wisdom, because humility is always saying, "Teach
00:15:44 me, teach me, teach me." Relationships are the essence of life. They're all the
00:15:53 essence, they're not things. Your life will wind up being so empty if you just
00:15:59 have things, degrees, cars, houses, jewelry, clothes, bling-bling, whatever. If it's
00:16:08 just things, your life will wind up empty if you don't have anybody to share it with.
00:16:13 The essence of life is relationship. It's relationship. It's people. People need God
00:16:23 and people need people. People are a gift. They're a gift. They are part of our
00:16:31 assignment. If God ever gives you a dream, I guarantee you, your dream must involve
00:16:37 other people. And if you have a dream that you can accomplish without people,
00:16:41 it didn't come from God. It did not come from God. Every God-given dream must have
00:16:48 the cooperation of other people. If a dream can be fulfilled in a silo and you
00:16:54 don't need anybody else, I don't care how bad you are, how talented and how gifted
00:16:59 you are, the greatest performer still needs a manager. They need a PR person,
00:17:03 they need an accountant, they need a tax person. You'd be surprised. Talent needs a
00:17:09 team in order to be terrific. Talent needs a team to be terrific. Talent needs
00:17:14 a team to be terrific. We don't operate alone. Humility. Humility comes along with
00:17:25 humility comes wisdom because humility says I'm teachable and I'm looking for
00:17:31 every place that I go to be taught. C.S. Lewis said that true humility is not
00:17:38 thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. It's not thinking less
00:17:45 of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less. When you're gonna serve other
00:17:50 people, it's not thinking less of yourself when you serve somebody else. It
00:17:54 doesn't reduce you. It doesn't reduce you. It's not about you. It's about you're
00:17:58 using something in your life to be able to serve another human being because
00:18:03 exchange is the process of life. Exchange is the process of life. Everything in
00:18:11 this world operates by reciprocity. You know, you give something, you receive
00:18:16 something. You give something, you receive something. And when it's one-sided, after
00:18:21 a while it's gonna get sick. We breathe in oxygen, we breathe out carbon dioxide.
00:18:28 You go out in nature, the plants and the trees breathe in carbon dioxide and they
00:18:35 breathe out oxygen. They carry something for us, we carry something for them.
00:18:40 Exchange is the process of life. It's the process and when you stop exchanging you
00:18:49 become stagnant and stagnation is where bacteria and fungus and disease begin to
00:18:56 proliferate. So it's it operates by an exchange. I was over in Mexico in 1980. I
00:19:04 went to the market there and a young man who was deeply poor but he was operating
00:19:10 a little stand there and he was selling touristy kind of t-shirts and I'm
00:19:18 18 years old, 17, I was 17 at the time and here I am standing in the
00:19:28 market and he's selling his t-shirts. I'm 6'2" and 140 pounds with all of my
00:19:34 clothes on and my shoes. 140 pounds. And this young man says to me, he says, "I so
00:19:44 admire America. I want to go to America." But he said, "If I could just get
00:19:48 something that's made in America." And I happen to have on one of our Bronner
00:19:52 Brothers t-shirts, "Made in America." They had a slogan on it that people often
00:19:59 wonder who I curl up with because the curl was in style back at the time. I
00:20:02 wasn't wearing one, you know, but and he wanted that shirt because he knew
00:20:08 that it was made in America. He saw the English on there and he said, "Oh my God,
00:20:11 for that." And he didn't have anything but the stuff that he was selling and
00:20:17 he said, "I will give you one of my brand new shirts if you will give me your
00:20:22 shirt." Now we're in public. I'm a 140 pounds, 6'2" and I thought that, you know, I
00:20:34 had some apprehension about it but then I looked around I said, "These people
00:20:36 don't know me. I don't know them." And the next thing you know, I pull my thing, I'm
00:20:44 bare-chested out there. I was just showing all my pics and everything. I
00:20:48 was showing the flatness of my stomach, you know, and I pulled my used t-shirt
00:20:55 off and he handed me a brand new t-shirt and I put the brand new on and I was
00:21:02 happy and satisfied and he was happy and satisfied. That's how you know that you've
00:21:08 got a good deal when both people are satisfied with the outcome of the
00:21:13 exchange. And I'm just as happy to breathe in oxygen as the trees are to
00:21:20 get my carbon dioxide. And I'm getting rid of something that would kill me if
00:21:24 I hold on to it and they're getting rid of something that would kill them if
00:21:28 they hold on to it because this reciprocity, this exchange is the process
00:21:34 of life and you have to realize that God has locked something in you that you
00:21:39 live and breathe and eat that is designed to be exchanged. Jesus taught us
00:21:45 this principle as it relates to business. He said you gain by trading. You gain by
00:21:52 trading. You gain by trading. Every worker goes in and they trade their time and
00:21:58 their skill for money. You gain by trading. On the stock market, you gain by
00:22:04 trading. If you don't trade anything, you don't gain anything. You gain by trade.
00:22:09 Jesus taught the principle that you gain by trading. You've got to have something
00:22:14 to exchange. Life is a process of exchange and God has given you something
00:22:21 that someone else needs. Now let me say this to you. I want you to know this
00:22:29 unequivocably. This is a revelation from God to me. How many of you want to hear
00:22:34 it? I've never shared this with you before but I'm getting ready to share it
00:22:38 now. Whatever is necessary is possible.
00:22:52 Period. Whatever is necessary is possible. It would make God an unjust God. If there
00:23:02 was something necessary for your life, it is impossible for you to achieve it.
00:23:06 Whatever is necessary is possible. It is in the realm of possibility. God never
00:23:16 gives something that is necessary and then makes it impossible. Why would He
00:23:21 tease us that way? Whatever is necessary for you to raise your children, whatever
00:23:26 is necessary for you to die to yourself, whatever is necessary for you to birth
00:23:30 your vision, whatever is necessary for you to go to the next level in life. Who
00:23:34 am I talking to in this place today? Of somebody that carries something on the
00:23:39 inside of you and you've been frustrated because you've got obstacles and you've
00:23:44 got difficulty that has come on every side and roadblocks and limitation and
00:23:48 you've been blacklisted. Anybody understand what I'm talking about? And
00:23:51 people try to cancel you. Whatever is necessary is possible. With God all
00:23:58 things are possible. Whatever is necessary, whatever is necessary, whatever
00:24:08 is necessary is possible. Whatever is necessary is possible. When the Holy
00:24:15 Ghost spoke that to me the other day, I wrote it immediately in my journal.
00:24:19 Whatever is necessary is possible. He knows what you have need of even before
00:24:26 you ask. Whatever is necessary is possible. Whatever is necessary. And
00:24:34 here's what I want you to realize. That whatever you learn enriches your mind.
00:24:41 Whatever you receive through knowledge, through wisdom from someone else, that
00:24:45 enriches your mind. But whatever you give, whatever you share, enriches your heart.
00:24:52 The heart is not enriched in the same way that the mind is. Whatever you learn
00:24:58 enriches your mind. Whatever you give enriches your heart. You see people that
00:25:04 live a long life, they've learned how to treat people right. And the ones that are
00:25:10 old and mean and ornery, that's their life sentence. But you have to do hard
00:25:19 labor, just mean and nasty. It's hard to serve them, but it's harder to be them.
00:25:26 It's harder to be them. Whenever you learn, you enrich your mind. But whenever
00:25:35 you give, you enrich your heart. You enrich your life. When you bless somebody
00:25:42 else, my God, you get a dopamine rush. Whenever you start giving and
00:25:50 sharing from your heart, whenever you give from your heart, you enrich your
00:25:56 heart. Whatever you receive, you enrich your mind. But whenever you give, when you
00:26:02 do something that blesses other people, your heart reaps the reward. You enrich
00:26:08 and enlarge your own heart. You grow yourself. You deepen your own value. You
00:26:16 bring greater peace and prosperity and joy to your own heart. It is not by what
00:26:22 you receive, it's by what you give. Giving people are the happiest people on the
00:26:28 planet. Because giving enriches the heart. Giving
00:26:36 enriches the heart. Giving enriches the heart. Listen, we've already received the
00:26:42 offer. This is enough to try to get anything out of you right now. Giving
00:26:48 enriches the heart. You want your heart to be enriched? Ask God, "God, show me
00:26:52 somebody that I need to pour into. God, show me somebody that I need to pour
00:26:56 into. You put something in me that I need to make an exchange." We've got a generation
00:27:02 that is on the scene right now that is bankrupt from what you have a super
00:27:07 abundance of. A generation is starving to know what you know. And we've got all of
00:27:15 this abundance and it's time for the process of exchange to come into full
00:27:21 play in our own life. I want you to see here what God spoke to the Prophet
00:27:25 Jeremiah in Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 18 and 19. Because here Jeremiah says these
00:27:31 words, he's deeply frustrated. Anybody ever been frustrated? Jeremiah, he's a
00:27:36 prophet of God. He's God's instrument. Just because God uses you doesn't mean
00:27:39 that you won't get frustrated. You know why? Because if there are people, people
00:27:43 equal frustration. Notice Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 18. "Why is my pain
00:27:49 perpetual and my womb incurable?" Why am I dealing with this, Lord? Which refuses to
00:27:56 be healed. I've had this issue a long time. Why am I being attacked like
00:28:00 this? Why is all of this stuff happening to me? I see everybody else that's blessed
00:28:03 and highly favored. Lord, I'm going through. What's up with that? This is
00:28:07 Jeremiah having a conversation with God and then Jeremiah tells God, he said, "Will
00:28:11 you," that's why the "you" is capitalized, the "why" is capitalized in "you." He's
00:28:14 talking to God. "Will you surely be to me like an unreliable stream as waters that
00:28:21 fail in his anger and in his frustration toward God?" He said, "God, you gonna let me
00:28:25 down like that? That's how you gonna do me? I'm your boy. You gonna do me like
00:28:30 that?" Jeremiah is into his feelings. He says, "I'm hurting. I've got a pain that
00:28:36 is perpetual. I've been hurting a long time." And he says, "It's like I got an
00:28:40 incurable womb here. I got a womb that can't even be cured." He says, "God, why are
00:28:45 you doing this to me? Will you be like an unreliable stream like waters that
00:28:50 fail me?" And then notice what God says to him in response in verse 19, "Thus says
00:28:55 the Lord." See, God will allow your foolishness for so long before He opens
00:29:00 His mouth. I mean, you and I, you know, it takes a lot, you know, you got an
00:29:04 attitude, you raising your voice at God. I mean, He is still God. God is only gonna
00:29:08 let you go for so long in your foolishness. Rant and rave, you know, and
00:29:13 then you can be cussing and all. You've got more cussing Christian than I've
00:29:15 ever seen in my life. You know, and the Lord loves you, He loves you, but He said,
00:29:19 "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, just wait, wait just a minute, excuse me." I want you to see
00:29:25 when God finally spoke up, I wanted you to see what He had to say to Jeremiah
00:29:29 because Jeremiah was getting a little, you know, rough under the collar, but you
00:29:33 know, God is God. He's too big to be offended by the smallness of somebody
00:29:36 else's attitude. And you don't let five minutes, bad minutes of your day ruin
00:29:42 your whole day. So, so God now is getting ready to put Jeremiah in check. Notice
00:29:47 what He says in verse 19, "Thus says the Lord, 'If you return, if you return,'" He
00:29:52 says, "if you take it back, take back your, back, back, back it up, Jeremiah." I'm
00:29:59 having to give you the Bronner translation here. "Jeremiah, back it up,
00:30:04 take it, take back what you just said, and if you did, if you take back what you
00:30:08 just said, I'll bring you back. I'll bring you back, and then you'll stand before me."
00:30:12 And He says, "Under this condition," whenever you say "if," "if," "if" is the word of a
00:30:16 possibility. "If," let me just tell you this, all, all, all, A-double-L, A-double-L of
00:30:24 life, L-I-F-E, right in the middle of life is "if." All of life has an "if." If she says
00:30:37 yes, if He says yes, if my people, it's conditional. If you be willing and
00:30:46 obedient, if, if, there's a big "if" in life. Let's go back to the Scriptures. He's,
00:30:56 He's saying here that if, if you will take out the precious from the vial, you
00:31:07 shall be as my mouth. He says, "Jeremiah, I need you to back up, take the words back
00:31:12 that you just spoke, and if you will learn how to go into a vial situation
00:31:17 and take something precious out of it," God says, "I will use you as my mouth." He
00:31:24 says, "I want," and this is a message to everybody who's a schoolteacher. This is
00:31:27 a message to everybody that's a coach. This is a message to everybody who is a
00:31:32 mentor. He says, "You need to be able to look at a negative situation and find
00:31:37 the positive. You need to be able to look at the evil and find the good, because
00:31:43 there's some bad in the best of us and there's some good in the worst of us." And
00:31:47 God says, "Jeremiah, I need somebody who can look at a vile situation and yet
00:31:53 take something that is so precious and so good. They are sinful, they are dirty,
00:31:58 they are low down, but if they get in a pickle, they will give you the shirt off
00:32:02 of their back. They'll give you anything. They may be dirty and do a lot of
00:32:05 terrible things, and you have to be able to call that thing out. Somebody that
00:32:10 goes passionately after sin. When I see people like that, I've had to just speak
00:32:15 to them and say, "You know what? I see a spirit of determination on the inside of
00:32:18 you that whatever you set your mind to want to achieve, you can get that thing
00:32:24 done. I want to see that precious thing out of the vile. I've walked up to dope
00:32:29 dealers and have said to them, 'Hey, hey, come here, sir. Right, right here. Come. Look,
00:32:33 look, right here.' And I took one of them, and you know, I wasn't trying to buy. I'm
00:32:37 trying, not trying to be a customer. I'm trying to...
00:32:40 But I said, "Lean in right here." I said, "Let me say something to you. I see, I see
00:32:47 a businessman on the inside of you." I said, "You, you understand inventory
00:32:52 control. You know exactly how many bags of dope you have and how many you're
00:32:57 supposed to have. You understand accounts receivable. You know how to get your
00:33:01 money. You, your collections department is out of this world. You know something
00:33:11 about territory. All of these drug-related deaths, they kill somebody
00:33:16 because somebody came into their territory selling and taking money out
00:33:20 of their pocket. You understand about sales territory." I said, "All of these are
00:33:25 principles of business." And I said, "That's just a perversion. I'm now calling out the
00:33:30 precious from the vile." It's not that you're a drug dealer, dude, you just don't
00:33:35 see the opportunities for the legitimate brilliance of a businessman that you are.
00:33:40 Call it out. Call it out. Call it out. That little girl that has so much mouth,
00:33:48 that little boy that's got something to say, every time you say something to
00:33:52 them, begin to locate and say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, that right there. That right there. I
00:33:57 see that right now. You got an answer for everything. I see a lawyer on the inside
00:34:00 of you. You're gonna be in court cases. I see that right now. Don't break that
00:34:05 spirit. Don't break that spirit. Harness it. Harness the wind. All of that little
00:34:10 energy. You can't do anything? Put them in gymnastics. Put them in soccer. Put them
00:34:14 in baseball and Batman, whatever. Let them do something. Don't break their spirit.
00:34:19 Call out the precious out of the vile. Are you listening to me in this house today?"
00:34:28 But I will say this, sin has a cost. Sin has a cost, but godly living and truth
00:34:40 and anointing have a value. And if you're gonna have godly living, it's
00:34:45 gonna cost you too. Sin has a cost. Living for God has a price. The
00:34:51 anointing has a price, and everything that has a price has a value. Price is
00:34:57 value. Sin costs. Godly living pays. It has a value. Truth pays. It has a value.
00:35:06 It has a value. The anointing has a value. It's not for sale. Your money perished
00:35:15 with you. You pay for anointing with sacrifice. It's something that you have
00:35:22 to give up in order to go up. It's amazing. And God is just telling Jeremiah,
00:35:27 "Jeremiah, if you take back those words you said against me when you were into
00:35:30 your feelings," he said, "I can still use you." He said, "We got a deal?"
00:35:36 "You know, that's water under the dam. I know you were upset." He said, "But if you
00:35:41 will be able to look at negative situations, wicked evil situations,
00:35:47 contaminated situations, and call out the blessed, see a positive trait, and then
00:35:54 nurture that, if you will do that, this will take next-level discernment,
00:35:58 because you'll be offended because they said something back to you. But when
00:36:03 you're the defendant in a court and they're fighting on your behalf, you want
00:36:07 them, it's like, "Sick 'em. You better go and get 'em. Tell 'em. Tell 'em, baby.
00:36:11 Call 'em and tell 'em, baby." You want them to fight for you. But see, there's a time and a
00:36:16 place for them, and channel that energy so that it goes into the right
00:36:20 place. But see, God is looking for that. And then God told Jeremiah,
00:36:24 "Jeremiah," He says, "Let the people return to you." He says, "Don't you go to them." You
00:36:29 know why God is saying that? Because God is saying that when I have brought you
00:36:33 up out of a low place of living and doing low and dirty things, don't you
00:36:38 ever return to that. But when I have blessed you and brought you up out, go
00:36:44 back to those people when they come to you who want to be lifted. Not everybody
00:36:49 wants to be lifted. You see, just understand, let's just look at it as
00:36:54 when you're at rock bottom. Let's just say that that's level one. But once you get
00:36:58 into God, you start learning things and you start growing and you start being
00:37:01 mentored by some people, and then you get a little skill in you. Now you come up,
00:37:05 you're a level five. But you started off down here at level one. He says, "You will
00:37:10 never go back down to a level one, just like I will never go back down to 140
00:37:14 pounds. I don't want to go back to 140 pounds at 6'2. I look like a strong wind
00:37:21 could have knocked me down. I don't want to go back there." So he says, "You let
00:37:27 them come to you, don't you go to them. When the student is ready, the teacher
00:37:31 will appear. You let them grow up, don't you go down. Don't you dumb down
00:37:35 what I've given to you. Let them grow up. Let them come and say, 'I want to come up
00:37:40 to a level five. How did you get up there?' You know why? Because you see, I can take
00:37:44 one and put it into five, five times. But five cannot go down into one without it
00:37:50 becoming a fraction. Five can go into one, it's point two, it's 20%. But my going
00:38:00 down to one now has fractured my soul.
00:38:05 Because I went back to where I didn't start and so I have to fracture myself
00:38:11 and lose my wholeness. Are you listening? A fracture is not a whole integer. I'm
00:38:19 fractured when I have to come down. But I can go to fractured people all day
00:38:24 long and use my wholeness, are you listening, to lift them. Not to belittle
00:38:33 them, not to put them down, not to speak in a condescending way to them, but to
00:38:39 take the precious out of the vile. Because one can go into five but five
00:38:46 cannot go into one without fracturing. And many of you are wounded with a
00:38:50 perpetual wound and you wonder why I can't get well and why I can't do any
00:38:54 better is because all of your relationships are fractures. And you've
00:38:58 got to be able to have somebody who's on a whole 'nother level. A whole 'nother
00:39:05 level. A whole 'nother level. Because they can lift you from your fractured state
00:39:13 into wholeness. But you don't take wholeness and fracture it up and then
00:39:19 expect for it to be alright. And most of the time you will discover that people
00:39:27 they want the provisions of God but the provisions of God only come by process.
00:39:34 We want God's provision, God bless me, God bless me. Provisions come by process.
00:39:39 Here's the process. Praise summons God's presence. When we praise him we summon
00:39:47 God's presence. Because in his presence there is fullness of joy and at his
00:39:56 right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Praise summons God's presence.
00:40:03 God's presence produces his protection. When you know that Daddy God has shown
00:40:12 up on your behalf, that God is standing there with you, you feel incredibly
00:40:18 protected, you feel safe, you can sleep when you know you're protected, you can
00:40:24 rest at night when you know you're protected. Praise summons his presence.
00:40:30 His presence ushers in his divine protection. His protection produces peace.
00:40:36 I have peace because God is with me. Peace because God is with me. Once I get
00:40:45 God's peace in my heart, peace then unveils God's purpose. Peace unveils
00:40:52 purpose in the stillness, in the quietness. Now I begin to see an
00:40:59 unveiling of God's purpose. I couldn't even get into his purpose because all of
00:41:04 the chatter of everybody telling me what I needed to do and you ought to try this
00:41:07 and you ought to do this and hey there's a new thing over here and you've been
00:41:10 you've been so fractured and scattered. Instead of coming to a place of peace
00:41:18 the kingdom of God is built in peace. The kingdom of God is not meat nor drink
00:41:24 but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Praise summons his
00:41:32 presence. His presence then brings his protection. His protection produces his
00:41:37 peace. His peace unveils his purpose. Once you have a purpose then God sends his
00:41:42 power. God's power comes for purpose. Jesus said he has anointed me to preach
00:41:50 the gospel unto the poor, to open the eyes of the blind, to raise the dead. The
00:41:53 power comes for purpose. Once you get a divine purpose God will send his power
00:41:58 and then God's power releases his provision. You see the process? We come in
00:42:06 and we just want the provision right off the bat. It all starts back in praise.
00:42:10 We are saying Lord I praise you God, I worship you, I thank you. Lord you're
00:42:16 Lord above all things. Lord but before I ask you for anything I thank you for
00:42:19 everything. It is our coming in and just bowing ourselves at the feet of God and
00:42:24 saying God whatever you have that can be used in my life I want to use it for
00:42:28 your glory. It is praising him that then summons his presence. When God's presence
00:42:33 come then we feel that incredible protection of God. When we feel
00:42:36 protection now the peace of God throughout all of the other chaos and
00:42:40 all of the bills that are due and the stuff that's going on in your body but
00:42:43 yet I got a peace about it. A peace, a peace. Your family can be crazy but
00:42:50 because the presence of God is with you. It gives you a peace. The peace unveils
00:42:55 the purpose. The purpose summons God's power and the power releases God's
00:43:01 provision. If we can just get in this presence, just summon the presence of God
00:43:07 and it'll change your life in a huge huge way. And I want to just tell you
00:43:13 this, if you want to really just keep the presence of God with you, you have to
00:43:17 learn to pray throughout the day. Pray throughout the day. Don't just pray long
00:43:21 prayers, pray multiple short prayers. Pray your way through the day with short
00:43:26 prayers just like this. I'm gonna give you some examples. Lord show me
00:43:30 opportunities to let my light shine to those around me. Use me Lord to encourage
00:43:35 someone today. Lord may I never forget your goodness to me each day. Lord thank
00:43:41 you for grace whenever I fall short. Deliver me from evil. Thank you for never
00:43:48 leaving me Lord. Lord strengthen me to do your will today. These are just short
00:43:55 prayers, just short prayers. I'll just snap a picture of that. Just a short
00:43:59 prayer, short prayers that you can pray throughout the day. Lord I love you, I
00:44:04 honor you God. Lord may you give me strength to hold my tongue right now.
00:44:10 God may you restrain my left hand from reaching across the side of their face.
00:44:17 But may I say this to you that God loves us but God himself does not always give
00:44:27 us what we ask for. He loves us but he doesn't always give us what we ask for
00:44:33 and I should point it to you in this way. He doesn't give you what you ask for in
00:44:37 the form that you recognize because what many of us are praying we're saying God
00:44:41 I want you to produce a mighty oak tree in my life when God answers with an
00:44:46 acorn. And the acorn is the answer to your prayer but you don't recognize it
00:44:51 because you were expecting an oak tree and God says the tree is in me. He gives
00:44:57 seed to the sower and then bread to the eater. God doesn't just rain down
00:45:05 bread anymore. Now God's strategy because we are an
00:45:10 agricultural people, God's strategy is to send seed. He gives seed to the sower
00:45:17 and they sow it, one waters, God gives the increase and then bread is made by
00:45:24 process. So if you're asking God for bread you don't even recognize when God
00:45:29 answers your prayer because it's a bag of seed. God answers with seed and God
00:45:37 often answers by a red light. The red light says no just forget it leave them
00:45:42 alone, leave her alone, delete them out of your contacts. Or the yellow light, slow
00:45:49 or not now. The yellow light does not mean that God's not gonna do it, it may
00:45:54 just mean that this thing is not for right now. And then the green light is
00:45:59 the goal, it's like go for it. That's it, now is the time, here's the place, you're
00:46:04 the person, go for it. God often answers because God is light and sometimes he'll
00:46:08 just give us a light. He'll just give us a light, a red light, no no. A yellow light
00:46:13 that says take it slow or either not now. Or the green light just simply says go
00:46:19 for it. And I want to tell you this that in order to be in the know we must
00:46:23 sometimes use the anointed know. And when you use the anointed know it's not being
00:46:30 mean, it's actually self-care. There's certain things that you in order to do
00:46:35 what God has called you to do, there's certain things that you got to realize
00:46:38 that he didn't call you to do. I say this for young people because when you're
00:46:43 under 40 years old, as a general rule there are exceptions I know, but when
00:46:47 you're under 40 years old your greatest success comes when you're under 40 by
00:46:51 what you say yes to. Once you reach 40 and beyond, and these are just
00:46:56 approximate numbers they vary, once you reach 40 and over your greatest success
00:47:02 comes by what you say no to. Because by 40 you ought to know who you are. You
00:47:09 ought to know what you're called to do. I was doing this at 40 and so I knew what
00:47:14 to say, because I knew what to say yes to before I got to 40. By the time I was 40
00:47:19 and I was given opportunities to do some other things, I cannot tell you people
00:47:24 that came with marvelous opportunities, you know, and presented them to me. Some
00:47:29 of Oprah's people came and approached me with an opportunity, but I said
00:47:34 absolutely no. It didn't take me long, I didn't have to sleep on it, because I
00:47:42 knew what I was called to do. So when you know what your yes is, it was easy to
00:47:48 have an anointed no. No. And if you're gonna stay on track you're gonna have to
00:47:54 learn to say no to some things, and this is not about being mean, this is about
00:47:58 self-care, this is about staying focused on the assignment that God has given me,
00:48:02 because I don't want to be so diverted that all of my energies and all of my
00:48:06 efforts here have been now so diluted that I don't make a difference anywhere.
00:48:09 I need to be able to stand with a conviction on the inside of my heart and
00:48:13 a godly resolve that this is who God called me to be, and this is what God has
00:48:19 called me to do. And to ask me to do something else, it doesn't mean that it
00:48:23 is wrong or that it is evil, but it is not for me, and I have to be able to give
00:48:27 an anointed no where this is not negotiable. I've got to obey what God
00:48:32 called me to do.
00:48:35 I love the words of my friend Rick Warren. He said, "How you handle the middle
00:48:44 of your life, not the beginning, determines your end." Because you can have
00:48:49 false starts and still end well. Some of you have messed up now and you're in the
00:48:54 pickle, and I don't know why, but we get in the middle of life, in the middle, in
00:48:57 the middle years of life, somewhere between 40 and 60, 65 years old, in the
00:49:01 middle, in the middle, somewhere in the middle. That's where we get confused and
00:49:05 we go through a midlife crisis. But it's what you decide to do in the middle that
00:49:12 determines how the end will be. It's what you do in the middle that
00:49:17 determines what the end is going to be. It's the decisions that you make in the
00:49:22 middle. You may think I'm too old now for me to start back over.
00:49:26 And I just remind everybody who tells me that, I said, "You know what? All of the
00:49:31 games are won in the fourth quarter." You can make a decision at halftime that,
00:49:38 "Listen, when we go back out there, we're gonna stop looking around and try to
00:49:42 figure out what they're doing. We're gonna go back to the strategies that
00:49:45 we've already rehearsed. We've already got our gameplay. We're gonna be focused
00:49:49 this time. This is not about that. I don't care what happened in the first half.
00:49:53 Cleanse your mind from that. Your latter days shall be better. The glory of the
00:49:59 latter is gonna be better than what was over here. The games are won in the fourth
00:50:03 quarter. Some of you are headed towards your fourth quarter and you're making a
00:50:07 decision right in the middle and I'm telling you, I don't know about you, but
00:50:10 this thing is better. It's better. It's better. It's never, you're never too old
00:50:14 to catch a dream. You're never too old to catch a dream. And let me just say this
00:50:18 to you. You are as young in your mind and in your spirit as your latest dream.
00:50:23 You have to always keep a fresh dream, something that you're working on. You got
00:50:28 to keep a dream in you. You got to keep a dream. And I want to tell you this, that
00:50:32 when you have a dream or vision from God, God will tell you to do a few things
00:50:36 with it. Number one, God will tell you to run with it. You got a dream, sometimes
00:50:39 God will just say run with that. You go with that. Run with that dream. Run with
00:50:43 it. Run with it. Go for it. Number two, he'll say hold it. Hold it. Hold your dream.
00:50:49 Yeah, I gave you the dream, but you need to wait for the appropriate time to
00:50:52 implement it. He says write the vision for the vision is for an appointed time.
00:50:57 That means you have to hold your dream that God gave you. Hold it sometimes for
00:51:01 the right time. Everything has a time. There's an appointed time for your dream.
00:51:05 You run with it. You hold it. Number three, you submit it. Sometimes God will just
00:51:10 tell you to submit your dream to the bigger dream. You invest in somebody
00:51:13 else's dream and then God will honor what you have done towards somebody
00:51:17 else's dream because you need to sow seeds of faithfulness so that God can
00:51:21 now send people that will be faithful to what he's called you to do. Sometimes
00:51:24 that dream will just fold in under a larger dream so he'll just say take that
00:51:28 dream and submit it to this other dream, to somebody else's dream, and I'll bless
00:51:32 you in that way. You didn't realize that when I gave you this dream, it actually
00:51:36 fit under that particular umbrella. Go there and submit it to that place. Or
00:51:39 number four, God will say this. You either run with it, hold it, submit it, or you
00:51:43 move it to another place because sometimes what God has really called you
00:51:47 to do may not work where you came from and sometimes you have to move it.
00:51:53 You only do that — now I don't mean to do this in a controlling way to say
00:51:56 either you do this or I'm gonna take it to somewhere else because you refuse to
00:52:00 submit. No, no, I don't mean that. But there are times every dream has a destination.
00:52:06 A dream is destiny. Destiny speaks of destination. It's a place. Abraham had to
00:52:15 leave the place where he was in Ur of Chaldees and get up and go into a land
00:52:21 that I will show you. Every vision, every dream happens in a place and you've
00:52:29 got to be able to get to that place where God is calling your vision to be.
00:52:35 Get to the place. We all know Tyler Perry. He was born in Louisiana. He
00:52:42 first started doing his plays in Louisiana and it didn't catch on. It
00:52:45 didn't work there. He had to pack up, live out of his car, and get to Atlanta.
00:52:57 Everything happens in a place. My daddy came from a small town in
00:53:04 Georgia. God put a vision on the inside of my daddy when my daddy was five years
00:53:07 old, but it wasn't gonna work in that little country place where he was. He had
00:53:12 to get to the city. He had to move it to another place. There weren't enough
00:53:19 people in his town to do what God was calling my daddy to do. And when I said
00:53:27 next level discernment, you got to have the discerning voice of the Lord to know
00:53:31 when to run with your dream, when to hold your dream, when to submit your dream, and
00:53:36 when to move it to a particular place that God is leading you. That's next
00:53:41 level discernment, is knowing what to do with your dream. It's knowing how to hold
00:53:47 it until the time is right, because nothing is more powerful than an idea
00:53:53 whose time has come. Can you imagine if God has just been reserving a time while
00:54:01 you've been impatient, wondering, "Lord, when is my time coming?" Watching everybody
00:54:06 else get blessed, God was trying to see, remember, love is patient and kind. And
00:54:12 in the humility, the humility is never bogarting its way through, saying, "Let me
00:54:17 do it. It's my turn and it's my time." No, no, no. Humility says, "I will gather all the
00:54:23 wisdom, God, and I'll serve here until you call me to serve otherwise. I'll
00:54:28 follow you, God. May I discern your voice. May I discern your timing. May I discern
00:54:35 your positioning of where you position me to be right at this time." And let me
00:54:42 say this to you unequivocally, that every dream, every vision that is
00:54:48 given by God will have problems, will have opposition. There will be something
00:54:59 that you must overcome. And it will generally work in these three things. I
00:55:08 tell you this prophetically. Number one is creation. Number two is destruction,
00:55:16 where it looks like you're losing the very thing that God gave you. But the
00:55:20 third one is rebirth, where you come as a comeback kid. Some of you, God gave you
00:55:28 an idea. He gave you a dream. He's put things in you. He created it in you.
00:55:31 You've experienced the disappointment through the destruction of that thing.
00:55:36 Don't let that break your spirit. God never ends on a negative. There's a
00:55:45 rebirth. There's a rebirth. There's something that you tried at a time and
00:55:51 it didn't work because the timing wasn't right. An accept a corner wheat falls to
00:55:56 the ground and dies. It abides alone. I don't know who this is for, but you
00:56:01 tried something at one time and your spirit is broken and you've been afraid
00:56:03 to even go back and try to have another baby. Get the fear out of you. God's not a
00:56:09 God of fear. He's not giving us the spirit of fear, but of love and a power
00:56:13 of disciplined mind to be able to stand and to bring into fulfillment everything
00:56:18 that God has in store for us. This is a new season and you're gonna have God
00:56:24 problems. Jesus was born, then his body went through the destruction on the
00:56:32 cross, but three days later that was rebirth and there's coming a divine
00:56:38 rebirth of dreams. I saw in the spirit just a field all of these great ideas
00:56:48 from God that have been just buried, given up on. It looked like a graveyard,
00:56:55 but it was a bedrock of incredible opportunities. I realized at that moment
00:57:02 that the cemetery sometimes is one of the richest places in the world because
00:57:08 of people that died with unfulfilled dreams and unrealized potential. But this
00:57:17 is time in the name of Jesus for divine rebirth. You don't hold the power of
00:57:23 resurrection, Jesus does.
00:57:27 And I heard the Lord say to me that I will cause God-sized problems to spring
00:57:35 up in your world where only God can fix it. Your health issues is the God-size. I
00:57:42 know we've got good doctors and medicines and procedures, but there are
00:57:46 some things that only God can come down into your cell structure, into your DNA
00:57:51 and to begin to correct some things. Only God can come and be able to put new
00:57:56 energy in your mitochondria of your cell. God is a molecular scientist. He will
00:58:02 come down to the lowest level. He knows every electron, every neutron, every
00:58:08 proton. There's a space. It is amazing if you'll ever look at it that the cell,
00:58:13 they can't even figure out what holds these elements together is an invisible
00:58:18 force. God put his nature in the very DNA and your very cells in your body. Some of
00:58:26 you got issues going on with relationships that you cannot control. A
00:58:30 husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a mother, father, a brother, a sister, a niece, a
00:58:35 nephew, a grandchild. You got a relationship. It is strained and it has
00:58:39 broken your heart. It's a God-size problem. God says, "Goodie, it's just my size now.
00:58:46 It's my size. It's my size." It's God's signature being on it. He said, "This one
00:58:53 is for you." It's like, "Lord, I look to you now. I look to you." There's a deal that
00:59:00 you've been working on and you can't do it in your own strength. You can't make
00:59:03 it happen in your own strength. It's a God-size thing. God, my whole
00:59:07 career, everything that's in my mind right now, I don't know who I'm talking
00:59:11 to in this place, but I hope that you hear that God wants you to get your
00:59:13 faith up. Oh, mashikile bapas. May the ferikus gidiatemas. I'm just here to let
00:59:21 you know that we serve a God. We serve a God who's not only able, he's also
00:59:26 willing. He's willing and able. He's willing and able. He's willing and able.
00:59:32 That there are some things that have died and God says, "Rebirth is in my
00:59:37 department." He said, "I'll let it be created and you'll go through destruction,
00:59:44 but God says, "I will raise it up. If you trust me, I'll raise it up. If you trust
00:59:50 me, I'll raise it up. I'll give new life to it. I'll open another door of
00:59:54 possibility. I'll breathe on this thing. I'll deal with your tax situation."
00:59:59 Oh, mamamikulaberishana. God will deal with it. God will deal with it.
01:00:05 Rebirth is coming to your house. Yebashikilea. It's not over. It's not over.
01:00:13 It's not over. It's not what it looks like. It's not what it looks like. It's
01:00:18 not what it looks like. You've talked until you're blue in the face. You've
01:00:23 talked and you're talking. You've done everything that you could do.
01:00:26 You've dotted all of the I's. You've crossed all the T's. You've prayed until
01:00:30 your knees are weary. You're tired of this thing. Listen, it's not over. It's not
01:00:35 over. It's not over. It's not over. It is not over. It's not over. That pain that
01:00:41 can't even come under control. That long-term issue that you've been
01:00:45 dealing with, God says, "That's my size." The Lord said, "You carry the
01:00:56 problem," but he said, "but I'm the one with the answer to that." It's a God
01:01:02 answer. It's a God problem because God's the only one who has the answer. And he
01:01:09 says, "Don't be afraid any longer. This is a God problem."
01:01:16 Yeah, I promise you the promised land, but you got a Red Sea. You got an army
01:01:24 behind you. You got history. You got a credit report. You got stuff back there
01:01:30 that's a doctor's report that doesn't look good. Your sugar levels don't look
01:01:35 good. Your blood pressure level doesn't look good. You got inflammation in your
01:01:40 body. God said, "Hey, hey, hey." He said, "Look to me. Look to me. Look, look, look, look."
01:01:45 He said, "I'll bring renewal in your body and every cell in your body and every bit
01:01:49 of tissue. Stand to your feet in the name of Jesus." I feel God in this place. My God,
01:01:54 I feel the Holy Ghost. I feel the King of kings and the Lord of
01:01:57 Lord, the one who is sitting on the throne. You got a problem that has worn
01:02:03 you down. You've carried it as far as you can carry it. And God says, "It's my turn
01:02:07 now. It's my turn now. It's my turn now." You've been wanting a fresh testimony?
01:02:18 God says, "I'm the one. Look to me. Look to me. Look to me. Look to me. Look to me."
01:02:29 I'm telling you, if we'll praise him, God's presence will come in a richer,
01:02:36 stronger way. Some of you that need him, just step, just step, step down here. You
01:02:40 got immediate needs. You feel God. It's like, "God, I — God, this is only for you. This is
01:02:48 not for another human being, God. This is a God issue I'm dealing with. You have set
01:02:52 me up for a miracle." "Mammerike debashono." But I came to remind you that God is a
01:02:58 God of miracles, who does miracles so great, and he'll still do another miracle.
01:03:03 There is a miracle in the house for you today. There's a miracle. A miracle. A
01:03:11 miracle. "Ei yabado kodiache." A miracle of grace. A miracle of the mercy of God.
01:03:18 God will deliver. God has delivered, and he yet shall deliver. Miracle.
01:03:27 You got problems that are of God's proportion, and he sees you. He has seen
01:03:37 the agony in your soul. He has seen your brokenness and your sleep disruption.
01:03:43 That's a God-size issue. This is above a psychologist and a psychiatrist. It's
01:03:51 above the pay grade of a physician. This is above credit repair people.
01:04:00 God's a God of miracles.
01:04:04 Your generations are at stake, and he's concerned about your whole family. Yes.
01:04:16 Yes. Yes. Yes. You set your faith in your eyes upon him, and I keep hearing the
01:04:25 Lord say, "Watch what I do next." "Ei yapashiki liao." Watch what I do next.
01:04:35 "Ei yakamoshiki mulia pasiliao kumar." Yes. Set your eyes upon him. Watch what I do
01:04:45 next. Watch what I do next. Watch it. Set your eyes on him. Watch what I do next.
01:04:54 Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. You're next in line. You're next in line.
01:04:58 You're next in line. You're next.
01:05:02 The Lord said, "I set you up for this so that you had no other place to turn. I
01:05:12 set you up for this."
01:05:36 He's in the building. He's in the building. He's in the building. He's in the
01:05:42 building right now. He's in the building. My God, my God, my God.
01:05:50 The Lord is working through some generational stuff. Some of you all have
01:05:55 some inheritance stuff, and you got siblings that have been possessed by a
01:06:00 different kind of spirit, and the Lord is working, "Ei bashiki liao."
01:06:05 On your behalf.
01:06:09 I heard the Lord said, "Watch what I do next." Some of you got relatives that are
01:06:25 dealing with a legal situation. Some of them are already incarcerated, and I
01:06:29 heard the Lord say, "Watch what I do next. You watch what I do next. You watch what
01:06:34 I do next." If God could deliver his people out of slavery in Egypt, watch him
01:06:40 bring your son and your daughter out. Watch him bring your niece and your
01:06:44 nephew out. You watch God bring your grandchildren. Watch him. Watch him. Watch
01:06:49 him. Watch God deliver them out of the darkness of that depression.
01:06:54 "Yakabadeshini." There's a light of God that is shining into the darkness of
01:06:59 depressed people.
01:07:02 I see like a syringe going into some joints and just pulling out inflammation.
01:07:13 "Yakabadeshini." My God.
