-
I love it. I was very surprised to hear
-
people don't know what an empanada is.
-
Today is the day of your breakthrough.
-
I think you should buy 10 of them, one
-
for you and each member of your family.
-
Amen.
-
This morning I want to talk about a
-
subject uh the title uh message uh above
-
the law. The Bible says in Romans 8:2 it
-
says, "For the law of the spirit of life
-
in Christ Jesus has made me free from
-
the law of sin and death."
-
Galatians 5:223
-
says, "But the fruit of the spirit is
-
love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
-
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
-
temperance. Against such there is no
-
law." You know, in in the past 25 years
-
in my relationship with God, I I've
-
watched people and I watch what works
-
and don't work. I always ask God say God
-
I don't come from a religious background
-
and I was a very good sinner uh I did it
-
with the best of them and then the Lord
-
called me from that place and uh and and
-
and he say follow me right so I I went
-
on my journey so I didn't have all these
-
preconceived ideas all these religious
-
idea so I was just watch people to see
-
what worked and what did not work and my
-
prayer was always God help me care for
-
what you care and and if you don't care
-
about it I don't want to care about it.
-
If you don't care about the the clothing
-
I wear, if you don't care about these
-
things that people these laws
-
established by men, I I just want to be
-
free from all that stuff. I just want to
-
care about what you care and follow you
-
and pursue you. And in that process,
-
I've seen two main uh groups of people.
-
I've seen the people that are consumed
-
by everything. They're consumed by their
-
goals. They're consumed by by by their
-
jobs. They're consumed by the next house
-
they're going to get, the next car, the
-
next vacation, the next thing that
-
they're going to conquer, and their
-
whole life is consumed by that.
-
But then I have seen throughout the
-
years a very interesting group of
-
people. And it's the people that say,
-
you know what, I'm just going to be
-
consumed by him. I'm just going to make
-
I'm going to spend my time, my energy
-
every day of my life just pursuing his
-
will. And the Bible says there is a
-
principle. The Bible says in Matthew
-
6:33 it said, "But seek first the
-
kingdom of God and his righteousness and
-
all these things shall be added to you."
-
And then I noticed something very
-
interesting.
-
These people that were consumed by him,
-
they don't have to pursue all this other
-
stuff. The the Bible says everything
-
else will be added.
-
I believe as the church, we're entering
-
the season of everything else being
-
added. I think there's a group of
-
radical people in the church, radical
-
disciples. Now, there's a difference. I
-
we love converts. We like people to come
-
in and receive Jesus Christ in their
-
heart. And that's the most beautiful and
-
most important thing you can do in your
-
life. But God don't want to keep you
-
there. He says, "I I I call to raise
-
disciples of the nations." And to those
-
disciples, to those people that have
-
this radical pursuit, those people that
-
make the kingdom first, that spend their
-
time, energy, and space into pursuing
-
the will of God, I noticed that they
-
don't have to pursue after any of that
-
stuff. That everything is added.
-
>> I'm like, man, this is an interesting
-
concept. The Bible says you can be slave
-
to sin that leads to dead or you can be
-
enslaved to Christ. You're going to
-
serve something. You're going to be
-
consumed by something. But I believe you
-
have the option to choose what we are
-
going to be consumed by. And if you
-
choose to be consumed by God, everything
-
else is added. And I notice that to
-
those people where everything else being
-
added, those certain laws don't apply to
-
them. It's like they're above the law.
-
You know, I share many instances my
-
hatred for parks, especially amusement
-
parks. I think is something demonic
-
uh to make line. I don't know who who
-
came out with this idea of making you
-
have to make a line to the line. Have
-
you seen that? Like we I say baby what
-
what we're in the line for? No, this is
-
just to get to the parking and then in
-
the parking there's a line to get into a
-
shuttle and then the shuttle takes you
-
to another line to get into the park. I
-
was like Lord Jesus. And then you get
-
there, I'm and I'm reading the reviews
-
and they say, "Well, the tunder mountain
-
or something like that." I said, "Man,
-
Thunder Mountain is the best. If you
-
come to this park, you have to go to the
-
Thunder Mountain." I was like, "Okay,
-
let's do that." Have no idea what is it.
-
I just know it's the best thing. And I
-
told my family that first thing that we
-
need to do, we need to go to the Thunder
-
Mountain. As we're going into the
-
Thunder Mountain, I start seeing these
-
signs and I knew something was wrong.
-
immediately say, "If you got back
-
issues,
-
please don't get into this, right?" I
-
said, "Well, I think I'm good." Still
-
still got some.
-
And then you you continue to go up in
-
this line. And then he says, "If you got
-
heart issues, you definitely should not
-
be in this thing." I said, "Man, what
-
kind of ride is this though? What is it
-
that we're doing this down? I thought it
-
was some thunderings and stuff. I don't
-
know what to expect.
-
And then they they got all these
-
warnings and all this stuff. Strap in
-
and do all this stuff. So I'm strapped
-
into this thing and this thing I don't
-
this have to be conceived in a demonic
-
mind. Like this thing don't only go like
-
a 100 miles an hour downhill but all of
-
the sudden everything goes dark. And
-
then once it goes dark it pull you back
-
and it start running back like a 100
-
miles an hour and I don't know if I'm
-
going forward. I don't know if I'm going
-
backwards. I don't know if I'm up. I
-
don't know if I'm down. I'm short and
-
this thing is shaking. I say, "God,
-
Jesus,
-
I want to go out like this." You know,
-
enemy tried to kill me so many times in
-
my life. How he went out? Thunder
-
Mountain.
-
Thunder Mountain. It's like
-
we gave him all the warnings, but he he
-
wanted to go on. But you know what is
-
the only thing I love about parks is
-
this thing. They they got the lightning
-
lane pass. I like that stuff.
-
I felt so important because there's this
-
pass that you can get that there's these
-
lines. There's like two hours and a half
-
of lines right there, right? So, there's
-
hundreds of people on this line and you
-
just walk by it like
-
I told my daughter, "Baby, don't look at
-
them.
-
You don't want to offend them."
-
That's what the common folk do. Do they
-
do lines?
-
We have favor, baby. I know it's not
-
fair. Keep walking.
-
And I do believe that's the season that
-
we're in that God is saying, "No, don't
-
don't don't look at them cuz I got a
-
fast track for you." Because you choose
-
my kingdom first. I will add everything
-
else. You don't have to be consumed. The
-
Bible says you are in desert but you're
-
not from it. The Bible said do not
-
conform to the patterns of desert. Look
-
at those people in line for their dreams
-
and their goals and their things and
-
you're in the fast track because you're
-
pursuing him. And he said you don't
-
don't even look at them. Those are the
-
common people. Orphans care about that
-
stuff. Orphans are praying for what
-
they're going to eat, what they're going
-
to wear. Your father in heaven knows
-
everything that you need and he get you
-
to fast track. You know, David went to a
-
fast track. The Bible says King David,
-
he's standing in front of a giant say,
-
"I will kill you. I will do all this
-
stuff to you." This dude don't even have
-
military training. This dude show up
-
with some shorts and flip-flops and a
-
couple stones and a stick. But the Lord
-
says, "Because you're pursuing my
-
kingdom first. You don't need to go to
-
boot camp. You don't need to you don't
-
need an armor. You don't need a I'm
-
going to take you to a fast track into
-
your destiny. And I'm going to use the
-
opposition before you, not for your
-
destruction, but to propel you to your
-
destiny. Because I got you in a fast
-
track, in a lightning fast lane, that is
-
not going to you're not going to care
-
about the things of this earth because I
-
I I I care for you. I know the plans I
-
have for you.
-
>> I know before you were in the womb of
-
your mother, I I I knew you. I love you.
-
I predestined you. I created a fast
-
track where you don't have to be
-
concerned about these things. I love how
-
Paul calls himself an ambassador. He
-
says, "We are ambassadors." Now, that's
-
a political term. That's not a religious
-
term. Now, when you understand the laws
-
of an embassy, when you're in an
-
embassy, you are in a different country,
-
but the laws of that country don't apply
-
to you.
-
>> It even even more, it says that even the
-
local law enforcement of that nation
-
have no jurisdiction over the embassy.
-
And Paul is saying, "I'm an ambassador.
-
I'm sent here. I'm here in this world,
-
but your laws don't apply to me. All
-
this stuff you live by don't apply to
-
me. I operate under a higher authority,
-
under a higher power, that stuff." But
-
the enemy is trying to keep the church
-
in this place where you're so consumed
-
by rationale, where you're consumed by
-
the process on how it's supposed to
-
look, tradition, and settings and things
-
like that. And God is saying, "Who told
-
you that?
-
>> Who told you that?"
-
>> He looks at Adam and Eve and they say,
-
"We were afraid because we were naked."
-
And he looks at them. Who gave you that
-
information? That did not came from me.
-
That don't apply to you. That don't
-
apply to you. That's a a law, sin, and
-
death. That don't apply to you. I
-
created you free from that. The Bible
-
says through Jesus Christ, through the
-
blood of Jesus, you and I become an
-
ambassador of heaven. that that that we
-
are on this earth and we're going to
-
walk through it but those laws will
-
don't apply to you that the enemy have
-
to ask permission even to touch you that
-
the enemy have to ask permission even to
-
come your way we did a deliverance
-
conference powerful deliverance
-
conference but something that they were
-
keep saying is the enemy have no access
-
to you
-
>> only the access that you give it to him
-
the Bible says he have been disarmed he
-
has been defeated
-
>> that means he have no arms No legs. No,
-
I'm just joking. English is my second
-
language. And so he's like, I'm going to
-
get you.
-
He can't get you. He can't touch you. He
-
can't chase after you. He got no arms,
-
no legs. No. Uh, that will be an email.
-
So, I I believe Apostle Alex is not
-
totally correct on his theology.
-
I went to college and all that stuff. It
-
just I did not pay a whole lot of
-
attention.
-
But the Bible says he have been
-
defeated. He has been disarmed.
-
He have no weapons. He got nothing
-
against you. The Bible says he even have
-
to go to the courts of heaven. Think
-
about it with Job. He says what you're
-
telling me about this guy. I cannot
-
touch him.
-
Satan is saying this as evil as he was.
-
It's like I cannot even touch him
-
because there's a hedge of protection.
-
He's an embassy. My laws don't apply
-
over him. He's untouchable.
-
I cannot touch him. That that the Lord
-
have to give him permission because he
-
knew whatever area he touched it was
-
going to double in the next season. So
-
he said, "Go ahead and touch him. I got
-
my money on him." But make no mistake,
-
the enemy did not have any authority
-
over him. The Bible says even to prove
-
that point, it says that he came to to
-
the courts of heaven and he demanded
-
Peter. He could not touch Peter because
-
he was an embassy of heaven. His laws,
-
his rule did not apply over him. But he
-
said, I demanded him to be sifted. He
-
have to ask permission to come in. There
-
is that we need to understand as a
-
church the enemy have no power, no
-
authority over you. Unless you open
-
doors, unless you invite him, unless you
-
allow him to come in. And even if you
-
have allowed him to come in, the Bible
-
says if you humble yourself and pray, if
-
you come into the presence of God and
-
you you can you can spell those demons
-
out of your life, you don't have to be
-
manipulated by them, they have no
-
authority, no power over you. That's
-
what the enemy wants to keep you in this
-
place. Because if you understand how
-
powerful you are, the anointing that is
-
upon your life that you are here to rule
-
and to reign to bring the presence of
-
God in every area of societal influence,
-
you become a force reckon, a force to be
-
reckoned with.
-
>> You know, God is calling some
-
troublemakers.
-
>> God is calling some some people. I like
-
that. It's always been a little bit
-
rebellious in my life. But I realize
-
the enemy perverted that. But there's a
-
natural need in my heart to be above
-
above these laws to be to not to be
-
restricted by these things. And the
-
enemy tried to pervert that. But then he
-
showed me I'm calling some
-
troublemakers. on calling some people
-
that are willing to break protocol that
-
are willing to break out of this
-
tradition of these things of men because
-
God cannot be restricted by these
-
things. He cannot be restricted in these
-
areas. He say I want freedom. I want the
-
freedom to move and do. Jesus was a
-
disruptor. Think about Jesus. Jesus, you
-
can invite this guy anywhere. You invite
-
him to a wedding, he's turning water
-
into wine. He said the party's almost
-
over. Jesus, not today. I'm going to
-
party a couple more days. Bring me some
-
water.
-
People are mourning. They're all sad.
-
This baby boy died and he's dead. He
-
said, "Oh, you Jesus, you can't touch
-
the dead people." That by the law, Moses
-
said, "You can't touch it."
-
Because the law says if you touch
-
something that was contaminated, you
-
become contaminated as well. You become
-
impure.
-
But Jesus said, "No, no, no, no. I'm
-
changing that paradigm and an ambassador
-
of heaven. Those laws don't apply to me.
-
As a matter of fact, I'm so pure that
-
when the impure touch me, I purify him.
-
I'm I'm so full of life that when death
-
touches me, they come back to life. And
-
people were all crying. Now understand,
-
there were people that were paid to cry
-
in these funerals. There were people
-
like crying, professional criers.
-
I love that stuff, man. Hispanic,
-
African-American funerals, the best you
-
got. We got going on, man. That's some
-
of my favorite. These people,
-
throw me, take me with her, Lord.
-
They want to jump into the hole with it.
-
It's like, yes, Lord.
-
And there's people making money out of
-
these funeral proceedings, you know,
-
that were benefit from these loss of sin
-
and death and these things. And God
-
says, no, I'm about to disrupt some
-
things and I'm about to change some
-
things in your life. I just feel the
-
spirit of the Lord is telling you this
-
morning, hey, I'm about to disrupt some
-
things and I'm about to change some
-
schedules. I'm about to change some
-
protocols. and you think it's going to
-
take you 10 years and the Lord says,
-
"No, you're in a fast track. I'm going
-
to bypass the multitude. I'm going to
-
take you there. Vineyards that you
-
haven't planted, houses that you haven't
-
built, is the stuff that I have for
-
you."
-
>> Hallelujah.
-
>> You know, the Bible says that
-
when you seek the kingdom first,
-
>> in justice, you're you're unshakable.
-
>> You're unbreakable. You're unstoppable.
-
The Bible says if not even injustice can
-
stop your destiny. You know when I think
-
about injustice, I'm thinking about
-
always go back to Joseph. Think about
-
Joseph. It's it's like the craziest
-
thing. His own family sold him out. You
-
do you understand that when your own
-
family sells you, you know, they put an
-
ad on marketplace, little brother for
-
sale,
-
will include tunic of many colors for
-
$50 more dollars. You know, dude,
-
this guy got sold by his own family into
-
slavery. It was not so to work at the
-
circus or like he he got sold to be a
-
slave.
-
But when you know when you seek the
-
kingdom first when you're marked by God
-
it doesn't matter what people do against
-
you they do against you got no effect
-
over your destiny over your calling as a
-
matter of fact the Bible says in
-
Pyifar's house God prospered Joseph so
-
much that he was put in charge of
-
everything
-
>> and then another injustice took place it
-
was wrong he deserved punishment he was
-
falsifully falsely accused of a crime
-
and he was put in prison.
-
He could be bitter. He could be
-
offended. He could be like, "My own
-
family betrayed me. Every Pifar's house
-
betrayed me. Now I'm in jail. I'm in
-
prison." But when you seek the kingdom
-
first, God will use even that prison
-
that they place you in. He will use it
-
as a training camp for you. He say,
-
"Don't worry, Joseph. I'm going to use
-
this to train you. I'm going to use this
-
to equip you." There is jails right now.
-
There are situations that you are in
-
right now that you feel there's
-
injustice that you feel that you've been
-
doing wrong that you have been shortch
-
changed that you feel is and and and
-
probably so probably righteously so you
-
have been betrayed you have been hurt
-
you have been done wrong but the Lord
-
says don't worry when you are marked by
-
me when you seek the kingdom first
-
everything will operate for your good I
-
will make the the natural the spiritual
-
the good the bad and the ugly conspire
-
for your favor that that that I will use
-
you as a training camp. I will form you
-
in that place. Do you know when when
-
Joseph got
-
into his moment to shine,
-
the Bible says that it was his gift that
-
opened the door for him. But it was his
-
process of training that actually
-
equipped him to stay in that position
-
because he was able to to to um be able
-
to interpret these dreams since he was a
-
kid. He can do that with his eyes
-
closed.
-
But the Lord says, I'm going to use even
-
the minations, the evil that people try
-
to do against you as a training ground
-
for you. In Pyifar's house, he training
-
how to handle abundance. In the jail, he
-
he he learned how to handle very little
-
and stretch the little he got. So when
-
he came to his opportunity to his open
-
door, he knew exactly what to do because
-
God used the process of training in his
-
life. Instead of becoming bitter, he was
-
faithful to the process set in front of
-
him because he then he looked at his
-
brother and say, "I know what you did
-
was evil, but God used it. Don't worry
-
about me." But that's why when you are
-
in the kingdom of heaven, the law of
-
offense don't work over you because you
-
know it doesn't matter what they do
-
against you. They have no power over
-
your destiny. It will not stop your
-
destiny because your destiny is in the
-
hands of God. Yeah.
-
>> The government looks at Jesus and say,
-
"Don't you know I have the power to kill
-
you right now." And Jesus laughed
-
said, "You got no power, but the power
-
that my father in heaven gave you. I'm
-
not going to be offended at you. I know
-
you're about to crucify me. I know
-
you're about to kill me, but you were
-
never in control." Because God will even
-
use the cross to take you to that place
-
of resurrection. He will use your
-
process. Even the process that people
-
use against you, the Lord said, "I'm
-
going to use it on your behalf to form
-
you, to shape you." So when you get into
-
your space, you will have all the
-
training, all the equipping that you
-
need. So some people that they're stuck
-
right now. And the only reason you're
-
stuck is because you're still holding on
-
to that past.
-
>> And the Lord is saying, "You got to let
-
go.
-
>> You got to let it go. so little compared
-
to where I want to take you. You're so
-
hold on to that offense, seeking that
-
justice, seeking that restitution. And
-
God says, "Forgive that debt. Release
-
them because he got no power over your
-
destiny." As a matter of fact, do you
-
know Judas advanced Jesus destiny more
-
like Peter?
-
>> Peter the friend tried to slow him down.
-
He said, "I will keep you from dying. I
-
will protect you so you don't die." And
-
he said, "Get behind me, Satan.
-
Because I know it look bad. I know it
-
look like suffering. But I have seen
-
into the future. When you seek the
-
kingdom first, you can never outgive
-
God. When you seek the kingdom first, he
-
will use everything for your good. It
-
doesn't matter how bad it look. It
-
doesn't matter what form, what weapons
-
are formed against you, they will not
-
prosper.
-
And Judah's betrayal accelerated his
-
purpose.
-
And God is saying to the church, there's
-
so offenses you need to let go. There's
-
some I know it was wrong and it deserve
-
punishment, but it's so little compared
-
to where I want to take you. You need to
-
let go so I can take you into that
-
place. Do you know Lot's wife was so
-
concerned about something that God was
-
done with that she stopped her destiny?
-
She was so distracted. She was looking
-
back into something that God says, "I'm
-
done with it. It's finished.
-
and she become bitter. Well, she become
-
salty actually.
-
There's some salty people in the church
-
because you are too distracted what was
-
in the past and you can see what the
-
Lord have in the future for you.
-
And God is saying, "Hey, look forward.
-
Look forward. I will use it all. I will
-
use it all." The Bible says that even
-
the laws of scarcity and poverty have no
-
power over you. You know the Bible says
-
in first Kings 17:14 16 says the the
-
bean of flour shall not be used up nor
-
shall the jar of oil run dry until the
-
day the Lord sends rain on the earth.
-
Now this is a story. This is a widow
-
that is the the whole time. Understand
-
this the whole area is in a famine. It's
-
not just the widow struggling in this
-
scripture. The whole area is in a
-
famine. The economic system was
-
collapsing. There was issues with the
-
economy of the whole region. And she's
-
struggling. But she said, "You know
-
what? My husband seek the kingdom first.
-
We were under covenant. We're radical
-
pursuers of his presence. We pursue the
-
kingdom first." And you know what she
-
did? The prophet told her, "Give me
-
first. Plant a seed." Because in in the
-
kingdom of heaven, it works differently.
-
Even in famine, even in need, we give.
-
>> Why? Because we know we cannot outgive
-
God. Because we understand he activates
-
a spiritual principle in the heavens
-
where he activates you die to your own
-
personal provision and you embrace his
-
provision. You you let go of the economy
-
of this earth and you can take part of
-
the economy of heaven. So when you give
-
your tithes and your offering, the Bible
-
says the Lord himself will rebuke the
-
devour for your sake. You know, and and
-
this is the thing like there's many
-
people you you may agree or may
-
disagree, but you need to be if you are
-
a disciple, you need to be a giver.
-
>> You need to be giving your tithes, your
-
offerings. I believe personally 10% is
-
the bare minimum
-
>> that you should be giving.
-
>> I believe I'm believing and I'm telling
-
Jennifer uh and we're in agreement. say
-
we want to be so blessed that we get 50
-
60 80% you know and and if it's 80% of
-
millions you know that can I can make
-
that work.
-
So I'm asking God, God, why you don't
-
test me on that? I haven't been tested
-
with a lot of money. Maybe that's sift
-
me with that. You know,
-
couple million. See what happens. You
-
know, worst case scenario, we tried it
-
and
-
you know, I said, "Well, that was not
-
it." You know,
-
but maybe that's where I exhale. You
-
know, maybe I was born to be rich. I
-
don't know.
-
But the Bible says this woman gave out
-
of her need
-
because she knew she was operating into
-
a different economy. She knew the laws
-
of famine and scarcity have no power
-
over her. And the Bible says
-
supernatural provisional breakthrough
-
came to her. It says the flower they all
-
never cease in her house. Because when
-
you are in the kingdom of heaven, when
-
you pursue the kingdom first, these laws
-
don't apply to you. the laws of desire
-
don't apply to you. You can give in the
-
time of your need. You can plant seeds
-
in the time of your need because you
-
know that God is going to back you up.
-
You know there's going to be provision
-
that he's going to make a way where
-
there was no way. Now there is people
-
here that you may be stuck right now
-
financially on many areas of your life
-
and and the enemy is telling you you
-
need to hoard it. You need to save it
-
all. You need to keep it. And the Lord
-
said no just give in this season. I
-
believe there's going to be people that
-
God is going to put on your heart to
-
give flamboyant offerings in this
-
season. I believe God is raising
-
millionaires of in this house because
-
the Lord says that no vision will go
-
without provision and he wants to use
-
you to be a kingdom funer. So we need to
-
break this law of scarcity and poverty
-
from our minds and say that don't apply
-
to me. You know I operate under a
-
different economy.
-
I believe in this season,
-
God is calling disciples to a brand new
-
level.
-
I believe this is a season
-
where God is telling the church, I need
-
you all in.
-
You cannot be in two mindsets anymore. I
-
said, we're going to decide today.
-
You're going to either serve Baal or
-
you're going to serve God. For me and my
-
house, we will serve him first. They
-
asked Jesus what is the greatest
-
commandment
-
and he say to seek the Lord your God to
-
love him with all your heart, soul,
-
heart, and spirit. That's the main law.
-
You submit to him the Bible says and the
-
enemies will flee from you. That he
-
becomes a shield for you. That he
-
becomes your everything. But I do
-
believe there's people in this room that
-
God is calling you to a higher level.
-
that he's saying you you may need to
-
reach out if you're part of primary
-
leadership, if you're part of a
-
leadership development. And if you are
-
not, you need to be where God is saying,
-
"No, I want you to be a disciple. I just
-
don't want to I don't want you to be an
-
observer or a reporter in the kingdom. I
-
want you in. I want you to pick up your
-
cross and follow me." There's some
-
people here that you may have to reach
-
out to your leaders and say, "How can I
-
build my house? How can I serve the
-
kingdom? How can I come to a higher
-
level of covenant with this house? And I
-
ask you this, if you look at this last
-
month, when you look at your time,
-
space, and money, can you prove that you
-
value the kingdom of heaven
-
based on how much money, time, and space
-
you have provided for the Lord?
-
I'm I'm blown away by the decisions
-
people make that say, "Oh, the kingdom
-
first." And I love it because, you know,
-
you have beautiful worship here at North
-
Palm and the spirit falls and you see
-
people crying say, "God, I give you my
-
all. Send me." Then we got a conference
-
and you got to beg people. So I I I can
-
come to the conference. I can pursue the
-
kingdom. I can do this. You ask for
-
volunteers and and and and you get these
-
responses sometimes.
-
The Bible says there was a call
-
made to people
-
and some people answered that call, some
-
people did not. The Bible says that rich
-
young ruler was given the chance to
-
change history with Jesus.
-
Not ever again we will see Jesus coming
-
to the earth like he did in that season.
-
He's coming back. Well, he's coming back
-
in glory and power to get his church.
-
But in that moment, he have a
-
one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow
-
Jesus, to make history with him. I
-
believe this is the season that God is
-
telling the church, I inviting you to
-
make history with me. Come, leave
-
everything behind and follow me. Just
-
follow me. That's all I'm asking. I
-
don't care what you're dealing with. I
-
chose you. You did not chose me.
-
You thought you were pursuing me. I was
-
pursuing you.
-
And when I chose you, I knew exactly
-
what you lack, exactly what you needed.
-
And the enemy want you to be so overly
-
concerned about what you're lacking
-
about these processes, about these laws.
-
And God is saying you're above that law.
-
You're a troublemaker. You're a
-
disruptor that don't apply to you. So I
-
just pray, Father, in Jesus name, I just
-
want to invite you to bow your head. I
-
just in Jesus' name I just ask you
-
father to break right now.
-
We surrender every idol, every other
-
lover that we have in our heart any
-
other pursue,
-
anything else in this season that we
-
have value more than you.
-
We destroy every altar and every high
-
place this morning.
-
You told the church, "One thing I have
-
against you. I've seen your works, seen
-
what you have done, but you have and and
-
team preach about this. You have loved
-
that first love." He says, "I want to be
-
your first and only love
-
right now as we speak. These chains are
-
breaking. These limits are breaking over
-
you. All this stuff that the enemy tried
-
to tell you, oh, you don't have the
-
education, you don't have the
-
background, you don't know the people,
-
you don't have the platform." I rebuke
-
that in Jesus' name. God says, "I'm
-
about to put you on a fast track. You're
-
going to skip some lines in this season
-
because you have chose me first and you
-
will not be put to shame because what
-
I'm about to do is going to be
-
transformational."
-
And I just invite you to make covenant
-
right now with God to those who feel
-
led. Now, don't make a covenant if
-
you're not ready to make those
-
covenants.
-
But I feel there's a spirit. God
-
operates through covenants. It's a
-
covenant keeping God.
-
And there's some people that God is
-
saying, I'm I'm renewing. It's a time to
-
renew your vows with me. It's time to
-
renew your comm your your commitment to
-
leadership, your commitment to give,
-
your comm commitment to serve, your
-
commitment to build the kingdom. How are
-
you using your resources and your
-
giftings to build the kingdom?
-
God is putting a demand on that. He say,
-
"Seek me first and I will add everything
-
else.
-
My children don't have to be concerned
-
about all those trivial things. I got
-
your back." And I want you as you do
-
that, you go to this place where your
-
love beyond measure.
-
His word says, "I cannot love you any
-
more than I love you right now. Not even
-
things in heaven, on the earth, or below
-
the earth, the past, present, or future,
-
can keep you from my love. You are my
-
child. I love you. I got your back. I
-
got your back. I got you protected. And
-
as that perfect love comes upon you, all
-
this fear, all this anxiety, all this
-
narrative or this urge fades away and
-
breaks over you right now in Jesus name.
-
Because those laws don't apply to you.
-
And that love is casting out all fear,
-
all anxiety, all turmoil.
-
And you take your eyes from yourself,
-
from your situation, from the economy,
-
from the natural things. And this
-
morning, you lift up your eyes to the
-
heels where your help comes from. Many
-
trust in chariots, many trust in
-
soldiers, but you pray, you trust the
-
Lord.
-
And you may be here this morning
-
and you may not even have a relationship
-
with Jesus. Or maybe you had a
-
relationship with Jesus and that
-
disconnected somehow.
-
You know,
-
one of the laws that did not apply to
-
me, you know, I thought when we talk
-
about the laws of sin and death, I was
-
supposed to be dead.
-
Like I say, I was a very bad sinner. I
-
deserve it all. If I was in the courts
-
of heaven, I will tell you it's true. I
-
did it. I was rebellious. I sin against
-
you. I deserve to be dead
-
by those laws.
-
But Jesus said, "I know I became sin for
-
you."
-
He looked at me and he said, "Those laws
-
don't apply to you
-
cuz I took your sin in the cross. That
-
is paid for."
-
And there's some people here that have
-
been even serving the Lord for a while.
-
And the and the enemy's been trying to
-
bind you with this legalism and this
-
religion. And God is saying, "I love
-
you. I pay for all that. I don't came to
-
abolish the law, but through me was
-
fulfilled."
-
And I thought it was unfair. I thought
-
it was it it it it was it was not right
-
because I just made one prayer but that
-
prayer transformed my whole life and I
-
felt how that blood of Jesus came upon
-
me and erased all my sins. All the stuff
-
that I was trying to fix with
-
anti-depressive and ADHD medication and
-
alcohol and drugs just trying to find
-
that peace. Just trying to find that
-
love. Just trying to find that place
-
where I belong.
-
one prayer
-
and I just felt the spirit of the Lord
-
coming upon me and for the first time in
-
years I felt peace.
-
That law was broken over
