"It's Your Time To Leap" // Elder April Chaney // Soul Winners Conference.

Praise the Lord everybody.

Hallelujah.

God is good all the time and all the time.

God is good.

God is good all the time and all the time.

God is good.

Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for he is good.

How many of you all know that he's a good, good God?

He's a good, good father.

Hallelujah, and that's why we're here tonight is to give him praise.

Thank you, jesus.

Hallelujah.

I just want to give honor to my Savior, jesus Christ, who is the head of my life, to my bishop in his absence, to Bishop Davis and his wife, bishop Beard and his lovely wife.

To all the elders Pastor Davis in his absence, but to all the elders and the ministers that are either watching online or here in the place.

But I truly want to give honor to my aunt, louise that's in the building on tonight.

Hallelujah, and I do believe I see some Wednesday Warriors in the house.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

And all my family.

You know I love you all so much.

We're just gonna go ahead and go into the word.

We're gonna go to Luke, chapter 1, verse number 41.

Luke 1 · chapter mention

I've been excited about being here all week.

I mean excited, excited because I love being around family.

I love being around, people of God that don't mind praising them, and Bishop had already set the atmosphere that linked in to where I was going to come in from on tonight.

So if you turn your Bibles to Luke, chapter 1, verse number 41, and I will read that verse in your hearing Luke, chapter 1, verse 41, and it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.

Luke 1 · chapter mention Luke 1:41

I'm gonna have to read that latter part again the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.

Lord God, have your way on tonight.

Lord, somebody came in because they needed deliverance, they needed healing and, lord God, they were expecting something great on tonight.

So, god, I'm gonna move out of the way so you can have your way.

Lord God, touch the people that are watching, those that desire to be here and those that are in the place, because I know you have a word for them on tonight.

And, lord God, use your servant as you please.

And, god, we bless your name.

In Jesus name.

Let the people of God say amen.

Say amen again.

Look at your neighbor.

Say amen, that it is so, and so it is, and so it is well.

The Lord has given me something that I do believe that's gonna bless somebody on tonight, because somebody, like I said, they came in for deliverance, they came in for healing and they needed salvation.

You might have not been in a place with you desired to be, or even where God expects you to be, but tonight is your night.

If somebody came in the room and they were designed to be healed, that tonight is your night.

I believe that.

And if somebody needed deliverance, tonight is your night.

Even those that are watching online.

God can do the same thing in your own home that he can do here tonight for a topic.

Tonight it's my time to leap.

It's my time to leap.

It's my time to leap.

We are in the week that we call a leap year, february 29th.

A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day compared to any common year.

We're looking at 366 days versus 365 days.

This is added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year of or seasonal years about seasons, and without a leap year, the system is in place.

Who, hallelujah, that began to bless me just looking this part up that we got to realize that without the leap year, seasons would drift and they will become out of alignment.

To maintain this timetable of the seasonal year, there is an additional calendar day added to February every four years.

We have to be around the right people at the right time.

We gotta be in place.

This just lined everything up for me that we gotta be right in front of God in order to receive what he's saying to us.

It's my time to leap, it's your time to leap.

However, you gotta be in the right place at the right time.

But what I noticed is most people are afraid of entering the unknown.

You end up doubting yourself and you are uneasy with the unfamiliar and not knowing what will happen.

You are concerned that things might not turn out as planned.

Things may go wrong and situations may become very uncomfortable.

So many of us are living in a barren life.

In Luke one, verses six and seven, it reads and they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.

And they had no child because that Elizabeth was barren and they both were now well stricken in their years.

Barrenness.

I'm barren.

There's no fruit coming up out of me.

Woo, hallelujah, it's unfruitful.

What's in your life that's unfruitful?

The things that's like an affliction.

It may be your business, it may be your marriage, it may be your career or even your ministry.

It's not producing fruit.

It is barren.

That's what we're looking at in our verse.

That we said on tonight was that she was barren.

See, you gotta understand what was going on here.

Zacharias was in the temple, he was praying, he was doing what he was supposed to do, doing his priestly duties, and the Lord had told him that your wife would bear a child.

We're looking at a barren situation that God is speaking to somebody.

Even on tonight, what it looked like it wasn't gonna work out.

Bishop, god is showing us that he's in it and it will work out for your good, hallelujah, I believe.

Somebody said what things in you have yet to be conceived, things inside of you that are left in a stagnant place.

When will I understand that we're looking at this level of seasons, that this extra day causes these seasons to stay synchronized?

And then you have to ask yourself is this my season?

Is this my year?

That everything is going to come into alignment?

That is my time to leap.

See, somebody fell asleep on that leap year, but the Lord was telling me you keep your eyes on the prize.

You look at what I've already done, because when the seasons change, you never know what to expect.

We look at winter it was some warm days.

We can look at summer and it may be some cooler days.

We may even see some hell fall at the wrong time of the year, but when God is in it Hallelujah.

When God is in it, everything is already in alignment.

In Ecclesiastes they said to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

We know there's a time to be born and a time to die.

It's a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

In this verse we're looking at a time to be born, that there's something inside of you that God says I have, and I already planted the seed, but I'm waiting on the right time for hallelujah, for it to come to pass.

That is my time to leap.

It may not look like it right now, but when God is in it, there's nothing that no man can take away.

If it's salvation that you need on tonight, you gotta leap into that salvation.

If it's deliverance that you holding on to, it's time for you to leap into your deliverance.

And Lord have mercy when it's time for you to be healed.

Tonight it could be that night, but you gotta leap into it.

Somebody needs to put their faith into action, because faith without works is dead.

That I walk by faith and not by sight.

That God.

It don't look like what I thought it would look like, but I know I gotta leap into it.

I gotta leap into your anointing, I gotta leap into your desires.

I gotta leap into it.

Whoa, whoo, hallelujah, whoo, hallelujah.

I'm gonna leap in this atmosphere.

Whoo, hallelujah, you gotta leap forward.

You gotta leap forward, leap, leap, leap, leap, leap, leap.

Whoo, hallelujah, hallelujah, whoo, yes, whoo, we've seen that.

Whoo, hallelujah, hallelujah.

I felt that thing.

You gotta leap, leap it, leap, leap.

I'm looking at the scripture and we find Mary and Elizabeth.

This is a season of fulfilled prophecy, because we got to remember prophecy was already stated.

We can look at many chapters, many books in the Bible that told us about the upcoming king, that his name was gonna be Jesus.

We can look at Malachi and he talks about John the Baptist.

Many of us have a promise and a prophecy that it will be fulfilled.

Hold out your hands, raise them up and say it will be fulfilled.

It's my time to leap.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time, hallelujah.

I don't know who I'm talking to tonight, but somebody was standing there and they needed to hear and be reassured that if it's not tonight, we don't know when it's gonna be, because, like we've taught in Bible study, time is on God's leg.

We don't know what he's gonna do, when he's gonna do it.

But we gotta be ready.

I want to be ready.

I got to be ready.

Ready, ready, ready, ready.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Maybe your bitterness is different than mine.

You might be facing it.

Friendships, singleness or even some type of addiction, unfulfilled dreams, may have you in a vicious cycle, and that vicious cycle makes you feel empty.

We all have things that have tried to strip us.

It strips us of us, our hope and our self-worth.

That would tell us you're nothing, when God said you're something because he created us out of his image.

And if he created us out of his image, surely I look like Jesus and surely I have his name, and surely he would never leave me nor forsake me.

That barren place would try to entice you.

Sometimes it's sitting there trying to isolate you and it'll tell you to press pause.

Press pause on your purpose, but I said press start and keep on moving.

Isolation, isolation, it hurts us all, creating a shadow of darkness, painting images of hopelessness and even up, loneliness Woo, it weaves a web of lies with the messages of self-doubt and worthlessness.

But I came to speak to that spirit tonight and tell it to go away, that this thing, woo Hallelujah, this kind only comes about.

What Breakfast in?

Hallelujah Woo.

That spirit right there, we have to speak to it.

It becomes barren and it shows itself.

There's nothing going on here.

And you begin to think there's nothing going on here, la Princess.

But God said there is something going on here.

It's called me.

As long as I'm inside of you, things are going to change, things are going to happen when we find ourselves in that place.

We have to recognize that escape and hope can only be realized in our relationships with God and with the people he has lovingly placed in our lives.

Who did he place in Elizabeth's life?

He placed Mary.

She was already pregnant with the man that we call Jesus.

Whoo Hallelujah, mary was that person for Elizabeth?

Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age.

So what did Mary do?

Mary went to go visit her cousin, and we have to remember that Mary was pregnant with purpose.

She carried the one who was rejected and despised.

She carried the ultimate creator.

She carried the savior of the world.

She carried the one, true and living God.

She carried the one who took the wrath that we deserve so that we can experience God's grace.

She carried the one who loved us so much that he died on the cross.

She carried the one we can experience forgiveness and newness of life.

She carried the one who we know can move mountains.

She carried the one who can heal your body.

She carried the king of kings and the lord of lords.

She carried the blessed and only potentate.

By now, I believe someone can tell me his name.

What's his name?

What's his name?

What's his name?

Oh, I know his name.

His name is Jesus, my Jesus.

I can call him in the morning.

I can call him late at night.

I can call him.

He's my best friend.

He's my shepherd, he's my hope.

He's my mother.

He's my father.

He's the wheel in the middle of the wheel.

He's my help.

Hallelujah.

What's his name?

What's his name?

It's my time to leap.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

Hallelujah, because there's power in the name of Jesus.

The baby leaped in her womb when Elizabeth saw Mary, her unborn child, john the Baptist, and leaped because he was filled with joy.

That's something that happens when you got the power of the Holy Ghost.

Now, when I get around you, something begins to leap Hallelujah.

I began to look at that thing because it says she was filled with joy.

Though John wasn't even born, he had a spiritual awareness and could respond to the spirit of God.

This is what I say.

When God is in the room, do we respond to him the same that we should?

There's something inside of me.

When I know that God is in the room, something begins to change, something begins to leap inside of me.

If you don't have a mother, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about, but I get joy when I think about what the Lord has done for me.

You don't know, like I know, what the Lord has done for me.

I get joy.

I get joy.

I get joy, unspeakable joy.

I love this joy that I have.

The world ain't given and the world definitely can't take it away.

This joy, this joy.

And then I was reminded of another story in the Book of Acts, chapter three Hallelujah.

We can find a man laying from his mother's womb.

He was carried daily to the gates of the temple.

Who's seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple.

He was asking I want some money.

He didn't want what they had.

See again, you got to be in the right place at the right time.

But you got to have the right mindset that when God is in the room, everything begins to change.

And Peter fastened his eyes upon him.

Well, john, he said look on us.

Knowing that they carried the glory of God, that with them all things were possible.

Hallelujah, because they knew this man named Jesus, peter said silver and gold have I known, but such as I have give I be in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Rise up and walk.

But he didn't stop right there.

He took him by the right hand and he lifted him up and something happened immediately that his ankle bones began to get some strength.

See, that's what happens.

We may not be able to run like we used to, but something happens when God steps right on him and he, leaping up, he stood.

So he was like oh Jesus, I hear your God.

He stood up and he walked and he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping, walking and leaping.

He was walking and I could see him leaping.

He was walking and leaping and he didn't stop right there, but he praised God.

See, that's what Bishop was telling you all.

You gotta have a spirit of expectation that something begins to happen when you begin to dance in advance.

I gotta dance in advance because it's my time to leap.

I gotta dance in advance because it's my.

I got a dance in advance because it's my time to leap.

Woo, I got a dance in advance because it's my time to leap.

I believe that's going to stay with somebody, that you're going to remember that.

That, though it doesn't look like what I anticipated.

But God, see, but God, but God, that barren place, it doesn't have to stay barren.

You just got to be with the right connection, and that right connection is God.

Somebody on tonight need deliverance from that barren place.

The lame man was at the gate, but he was healed.

Elizabeth's womb was now alive.

It's so much so that she received the Holy Ghost.

See, sometimes you just got to believe that person is coming in the room because they got a word for me on tonight, and I wonder who it was on tonight that said I needed this because I needed an extra push in my spirit.

And that's what I began to think about is that Elizabeth was so filled up and Mary was so filled up it wasn't time for them to push, but we still got to pray until something happens.

We got to pray that God would intervene.

We got to pray, we got to press and we got to praise him.

Oh, hallelujah, stand to your feet.

It's my time to leap.

It's my time to leap.

It's my time to leap.

It's my time to leap.

It is my time to leap.

It's my time.

It's my time.

This is a leap.

Here, seasons will stay the same, in alignment.

My season is gonna be with God.

It was Elizabeth's season, though she was barren in almost 60 years old, but it was her time.

It was time for Mary, hallelujah, this virgin child.

But she was the one, see, she was in the right place at the right time.

Who on tonight, needs prayer?

If you need deliverance, if you need healing, if you wanna be saved?

On tonight, you might say I already have the Holy Ghost, but I need something else.

It's their one, it's their one.

Yeah, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, because I'm believing God.

If it's healing, hallelujah, you can be healed on tonight.

If it's salvation, you can be saved on tonight.

If it's deliverance, if you've been seeing Chaney, my mind has been messing up.

It's been telling me things that shouldn't be and I was ooh, hallelujah, if that's you, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, clap and pray, clap and pray, clap and pray, clap and pray, come on.

All to workers Clap and pray, clap and pray.

This is somebody, somebody, somebody.

It's my time to leave.

You gotta be like that lame man.

You gotta stand up and just know that God is able.

Amen, hallelujah, come on and clap, clap your hands, clap your hands, clap your hands.

Young people, this applies to you as well.

You gotta make sure that you're right before it's too late.

We don't know when God is gonna come.

I'm not trying to scare anybody, because that's what they used to do to us, but I'm just telling you the honest truth that you gotta be ready.

You gotta be ready, you gotta be ready.

Hallelujah, will you come?

Will you come?

Just say I need prayer.

I'm not where I need to be.

I need prayer, I need prayer, I need prayer.

Prayer just doesn't change things.

Prayer changes what?

Everything.

It changes everything.

Anybody else, anybody else?

Yes, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on and get prayer.

Come on and get prayer, come on and get prayer.

Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord.
