So speak to that, god.

Speak to that.

We're careful, god, to give your name all the glory, honor and praise.

It's in the powerful name of Jesus we pray.

Jeremiah, the 37th chapter.
-
Only one verse today, fam, it really is the eight clause of the verse, meaning it's just the first part of the verse.
-
We enjoy to read the word of God out loud together.
-
So I want to do that now.
-
Amen, glory to God.
-
Thank you, musicians.
-
Thank you for your flow.
-
I don't know where we're going or how we're going, so y'all just buckle up and ride.
-
Jeremiah 37, verse 17,.
-
One verse.
-
Let's read the word of God together, ready set.
-
Read Then Zedekiah the, the king sent and took him out.
-
And the king asked him secretly in his house and said is there any word from the Lord and I would just like to use as a sermon topic today?
-
The answer is yes.
-
The answer is yes, thank you, thank you, hallelujah.
-
Y'all.
-
I tore my shirt up.
-
They gonna make sure I'm in order, hallelujah amen amen, hold on, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
Turn to a neighbor and say the answer is yes, y'all, I feel the Lord's presence in here.
-
I want to say something for those people that may not be as churched or new to church.
-
This was not a Rick James Brown moment where they pulled out the cape.
-
They just noticed that I had a had tore my shirt in the front and so they didn't want me out here being uncivilized, so that's why they brought me there.
-
So they yeah, they were my.
-
They were my James Brown cape that they brought out.
-
But I just want to join.
-
I went to that new church and they they had to put a cape on him before he preached.
-
Oh Lord, listen, don's a word from the Lord?
-
You may be seated in his presence.
-
Many of us have come into the house of God and we come in weekly with the question is there any word from the Lord?
-
As it relates to my particular current circumstance and situation, I need to pull the room and ask how many people are asking or have recently asked God.
-
What are you saying?
-
As it relates to X, let me pull the room.
-
It should be the majority of us, because we are people on the move and, as people on the move, you're always going to encounter various situations, and some of those situations are great and some of them not so much.
-
And so then you end up answering yourself the question is there any word from the Lord?
-
Yourself?
-
The question is there any word from the Lord?
-
For all of the married couples out there, you can tell me the truth that sometimes in marriage you're trying to say God, what are you saying?
-
What should I be doing?
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Parents, parents, testify you love you, love them, don't love babies.
-
But every now and then, on the journey, you ask is there any word from the Lord?
-
That question is asked because we understand that if the Lord speak of a thing, that what proceeded out of his mouth has the ability to change our everything.
-
If God tells me to stay, that means that he's going to provide and protect me.
-
If I stay, if God tells me to go, that means that he is going to provide and protect me.
-
If I stay, if God tells me to go, that means that he's going to order my footsteps.
-
If I go, if God tells me to wait and I wait on him patiently, even when I don't feel like waiting he is going to provide for me, even in the waiting.
-
And that's why the question will always come up is there any word from the Lord, my sisters and brothers, that's what we call a prophetic utterance, to understand how God communicates his will to us.
-
He does so in through his written word, and he does so prophetically.
-
Since we abuse that word so much, sometimes we we think of it as something spooky or we think of it as something gimmicky.
-
But now, every now and then, god speaks through his women.
-
God speaks through his women.
-
God speaks through his women.
-
Because God speaks through his women, god speaks through his women.
-
Sometimes people get that confused.
-
Deborah was a prophet.
-
God speaks through his men.
-
He speaks through his sons and daughters.
-
Whenever there is something he wants to relay to us from the throne room, he will tap somebody on the shoulder and give them a prophetic utterance that I have a plan.
-
As a matter of fact, you don't, you can.
-
When it's early on in the book, in the bible, in the book of genesis, we see the first prophetic utterance from the lord.
-
Y'all know when.
-
We see the first prophetic utterance?
-
When abraham and eve failed the test of freedom, when they took a bite of a forbidden fruit in Genesis, the third chapter, around verse 15.
-
We see what's referred to as the first messianic prophecy.
-
As soon as they messed up in the third chapter, I'm so glad that God didn't have to try to figure out what to do next.
-
When you look at it, moses, the author of genesis, is believed to be um, god said moses, I need you to understand that I always had a plan.
-
Somebody needs to know that god always has a plan.
-
And in genesis, the third chapter, he, he, gave a prophetic utterance that, uh, that, that he would send a, a child, and, and, and, and by his, by the, the, the child would be wounded in the process of saving us, but the adversary's head would be struck in the process, which suggests that the enemy would be defeated as part of God's plans to restore us, but as part of the process, that the master would be hung high and that the master would be stretched wide and that the master's head would hang and for me and you, he would bleed and die.
-
But that is not how the story would end.
-
In three days he would rise again.
-
That's love y'all.
-
That's what we just celebrated at this table that God always has a plan and God's plan is prophetic, and when God wants to move, he will not move until he speaks through his prophets.
-
And the thing about being prophetic in this season and always, god always having an answer the cool thing that we see is that whenever there is calamity, whenever there is chaos, god always sends a word.
-
Now, real talk.
-
I don't want to be in chaos and I don't want to be in calamity, but the one thing that I'm sure of Latar is when I am in chaos and when I am in calamity, my God is about to send a word.
-
As a matter of fact, I want to talk to somebody that is not feeling good right about the chaos and the calamity.
-
I got some good news for you.
-
The word is that God is about to speak to you in a way that he's not speaking to anybody else, because he loves you enough to send a prophetic utterance just when you need it the most.
-
As a matter of fact, we had the praise break we had today just because of you yeah, you didn't even know you, so special to God.
-
God said they're going to go extra crazy today because I need you to know that there's power here.
-
I need you to know that I've heard your cries.
-
I need you to know that I see your tears and, prophetically, I'm about to do something different in your life.
-
Whenever there is a calamity, god always sends a prophet, and so here we are with Jeremiah.
-
The thing about being prophetic the ability to hear from God and rightly relay what God is is saying is that the prophetic is something that we have to embrace in this season, because that's the only way you can be assured that God is talking.
-
I like what revelations.
-
The 19th chapter, verse 10, says, reading it in its entirety and I fell at his feet to worship him and he said unto me see, thou do it not.
-
I am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.
-
Worship God.
-
Watch this, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
-
That sounds too churchy, so let me see if I can make it real plain.
-
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
-
What am I saying that?
-
Because everything God is doing in our life is to get us connected back to him.
-
Everything that God doing in our life is to save the lost, the least and the left out.
-
Everything that he's doing in our life is to tell a dying world, that the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life.
-
One of the ways that you know that you've received a prophetic utterance is that when somebody prophesies in your life in some way, somehow it should connect back to Jesus.
-
Here it is.
-
I'm not speaking against the one that prophesied in your life that you're going to get the Maybach, the Gator boots and the Gucci suit.
-
I'm not.
-
I'm not speaking against it because I like Gucci too.
-
I ain't like Pastor Chris.
-
I don't wear it all the time.
-
I'm messing with it.
-
Be back there.
-
But my point is if God sends somebody to prophesy in your life that you're about to get a new house, we celebrate the fact that it's been prophesied that I'm about to get a new house.
-
But the question you should ask yourself is how does this connect back to Jesus?
-
I got an answer for you.
-
The Lord is saying I'm about to bless you with a house.
-
I'm about to bless you with a house.
-
I'm about to bless you with resources, because that house that I'm about to bless you with, one day you're going to give somebody an opportunity to spend the night who's having a bad time and you're going to be able to speak a word into their life and your house is going to be a place of peace.
-
They're going to feel my presence when they walk into the room.
-
Oh, okay, okay.
-
You said I got a house.
-
You said God is about to bless me with a car.
-
That that sounds materialistic.
-
No, child, you see what God is taking you, your, your, your itinerary is about to increase you're, you're about to have more assignments and you're about to touch more lives.
-
And God said, while you were shouting about the vehicle, the vehicle was just a tool that I was using to get you to your destination.
-
Okay, well, it was prophesied that you was going to be healed.
-
Healing is good, healing is great.
-
But the reason, montana, that I rescued your life from cancer, the reason, joy, that I rescued your life from cancer, the reason, deacon Steve Rainey, that allowed you to survive a quintuple bypass surgery, is because there is a greater assignment on your life and I'm not done with you yet.
-
And when I understand prophecy that way, I don't shout about the stuff that was prophesied.
-
I shout about the fact that God is about to use the stuff to connect me to the place that I'm supposed to be.
-
Jeremiah was a prophet, and the thing about being prophetic is that he taps men and women on the shoulder and he said I have an assignment for you.
-
I'm preaching this way because I feel that my spirit, the Lord, is saying that it's time for several more of you to start walking in your gifts.
-
It's not about a title, it's not about a color, but he, biblically, he, raises up voices when there's calamity.
-
There's calamity in the land.
-
Any of y'all watch the news Hurricanes back to back.
-
There's calamity in the land.
-
Any of y'all watch the news.
-
We got an election coming up that we all have some concerns about.
-
Anybody watch the news Things happening in the economy.
-
So I got to raise up voices.
-
Some of them won't even ever be in the pulpit, but they'll be in the barbershop, they'll be in the hair salon, and I'm going to give them an utterance and they'll say ooh, child, I don't even know where that came from.
-
I don't even talk like that, glory, but I'm going to tell you what's happening is God is raising up voices because he needs people everywhere.
-
That's why some of y'all about to be successful in the marketplace, because he needs you on Wall Street.
-
That's why some of you about to get elevation on your job, because he needs voices everywhere he needs voices.
-
That's why some of you all that serve in the military, he needs you in foreign lands.
-
Y'all do know that I preached my first sermon in Iraq.
-
Wasn't nobody there, but I did preach it.
-
It was good.
-
If you ask me, my point is that God is sending us to various places because he's raising up voices in this season and you got to be ready.
-
Jeremiah is our resident prophet today.
-
The Lord speaking to Jeremiah.
-
He says before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
-
I'm in Jeremiah 1, verse 5.
-
Look at verse 6 because I see chosen city.
-
Some of y'all in verse 6 then said I ah, lord, god behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
-
I need to speak to some people in the room and let you know that the lord is saying stop making excuses about what you can't do.
-
Look at verse 7.
-
But the lord said to me say not, I am a child, for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak.
-
Can I talk right there and say say not that I right there and say say not that I don't have enough money.
-
Say not that I don't have enough experience.
-
Say not that I don't have enough support.
-
Say not that is not supported in the budget.
-
Say not that this cannot work out.
-
When God speaks into your life, wherever there is vision, there is always provision.
-
And the Lord is saying to talk to the people and say how much longer you gonna make excuses I didn't talk to some people on this side how much longer you gonna make excuses, how much longer before you give God a yes without any strings attached?
-
When we give the Lord a yes without any strings attached, he says this is what happened in verse 8.
-
Be not afraid of their faces.
-
Now some people in the room.
-
You are afraid of their faces.
-
You are afraid of whether or not you're going to be approved.
-
But verse 8 says be not afraid of their faces.
-
I want to talk to you and ask what face are you afraid of?
-
Whether or not you're going to be approved?
-
But verse 8 says be not afraid of their faces.
-
I want to talk to you and ask what face are you afraid of that keeps you from doing what God has called you to do.
-
Be not afraid of their faces.
-
Matter of fact, can y'all help me preach, since I can't be here as long as I want to, can you turn to somebody?
-
Maybe they'll hear you better than they hear me?
-
Tell them be not afraid of their faces.
-
You see, the adversary has a lot of different faces.
-
Now I may not be afraid of the face that you afraid of, but we all have a face that'll make us quiver at night, some of you, when that birth, when that thing happens that I'm talking about, it becomes a face that makes you afraid.
-
Jeremiah was afraid of the people and the lord had to say be not afraid of their faces.
-
Why, for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
-
I want to talk real, prophetically, to somebody right here and let you know that when you be, when you give God your yes, you don't have to be afraid of their faces.
-
You know why?
-
Because the Lord will deliver you, he will be with you, which suggests that being real, being raw, real straight and no chaser.
-
When you give God a yes, you're going to have to go through some stuff.
-
When you give God a yes, you may find yourself found when you give God your yes, you may find yourself tired.
-
When you give God your yes, you're going to find yourself sometimes restricted.
-
When you give God your yes, you're going to find yourself sometimes being misunderstood.
-
When you give God your yes, you're going to find yourself sometimes being misunderstood.
-
When you give God your yes, you're going to run out of money.
-
Sometimes, when you give God your yes, you're going to find yourself feeling all alone.
-
Do I have any witnesses?
-
Or am I the only one in the room that has given God a yes and the yes ain't what I thought it was.
-
I thought this yes was going to be that it was going to be easy street, but I discovered when I gave God a yes every now and then the struggle got real.
-
If you had told me in new members class that when I gave God my yes and I came down that aisle that every now and then it would get ugly before it got better, I might have stayed in my seat.
-
But I'm here to tell you that.
-
I'm here to testify that giving God my yes was the best thing that ever happened to me, because when I gave God my yes and some things happened in my body when I gave God my yes and some people left me.
-
When I gave God my yes and it became misunderstood.
-
I got to come out of the Bible and I got to go to the book of Tupac, because some of y'all don't get the Bible and I got to go to the book of Tupac because some of y'all don't get the Bible.
-
My boy, tupac, once declared why y'all want to call me an outlaw, outlaw God.
-
All I did was gave you a yes and now they treat me like an outlaw.
-
But I'm here to tell you that the word of God declares that when you give him a yes, he is going to deliver you up from it all.
-
When he give God a yes, everything that you went through, all it was, was preparation for the next season of your life.
-
You want to high-five somebody right there and say I had to go through some stuff, but I'm glad that he has delivered me.
-
I had to go through some stuff, but I shall recover it all.
-
I had to go through some stuff, but I shall recover it all.
-
I had to go through some stuff, but it was worth it after a while.
-
Somebody say it's worth it after a while.
-
It's worth it after a while, jeremiah gets this promise that God would be with him, prophetically speaking.
-
I need you to know that the Lord is with you.
-
Then verse 9 watch what happens in verse 9.
-
Then the Lord does something for Jeremiah that I believe he's doing for you.
-
He put forth his hand and he touched Jeremiah's mouth.
-
Uh, we've seen the Lord move like this before with the prophet Isaiah.
-
When he called Isaiah, isaiah said I'm not worthy Until.
-
Somebody say, until Until the Lord had an angel, get some hot coals and touch Isaiah's mouth.
-
You see, the hotness of the cold dealt with all the impurities and I got some good news.
-
Chosen City, if you can receive this in the spirit, the Lord is about to touch some of y'all's mouth.
-
He said I'm about to really establish you in the work that you are supposed to be doing.
-
He said for for Jeremiah, it was putting his words in his mouth for you.
-
It may be a divine strategy that is going to create something that is going to be a blessing to the community, because there was a need that needed to be met, but now you're going to be able to employ other people in a time where people are looking for a good job and a God-fearing supervisor.
-
God is about to put something in your mouth that is going to allow you to feed your family.
-
God is going to put something in your mouth.
-
In our stewardship class, we were talking about seven streams of income.
-
As a matter of fact, one of our partners gave us a list of items that you should be looking at that will help you to survive economic downturn.
-
I hope you can hear this in the spirit If what God puts in your mouth, if you are a recipient of what God puts in your mouth, whatever happens in our economy, you ain't got to worry about it, because God is going to give you something that will give you multiple streams, and when we talk about that, people think we're talking about riches.
-
I'm talking about your ability to be able to provide.
-
I'm talking about your ability to be the lender and not the borrower.
-
I see the Lord in this season putting something in our mouth that's going to make sure that we shall live and not die.
-
I wish I had to prove people in the room that could get excited about the fact that God is about to put something in my mouth that's going to change everything.
-
He goes on.
-
He says in verse 10 see, I have set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms and To root out and to pull down and to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.
-
He's talking to Jeremiah about his prophetic call, but he's also talking to Jeremiah about his pastoral responsibility.
-
Y'all.
-
We live in a time now where people are diminishing the role of the pastor.
-
I know you can google, search and make your own sermon, chat, gpt, you can give us three points in a poem.
-
But I'm here to remind you that lord, the lord, god almighty, still speaks through his prophets, and I need us to not be a church that de minimizes the responsibility of the pastor.
-
Now some might think, oh, he must be preaching that because we went too good to him for pastor's anniversary.
-
In actuality, y'all were great to me.
-
For pastor's anniversary you showed up for revival.
-
We worship, we praise, and you gave gifts to the family and I said Lord, what can I give back to a people that has given so much to me?
-
And the Lord said give them the truth.
-
He said love them even when they leave.
-
You.
-
Give them the truth, raw and real, straight.
-
No, chaser, give them the truth when they don't like it, when it's against culture.
-
He said give them the truth, because that's your mandate to to tell them the truth.
-
And the Lord is saying that too many of y'all are turning to other sources for truth and not the word of the Lord.
-
Yeah, god says.
-
I seize your pain, I know you won't answer to your unanswered questions, but when God decides to send an answer to your problem, he, he sends it through the written word, and he and he sends it through his prophets.
-
He, he sends it through his prophetess.
-
He, he sends it through the written word and he sends it through his prophets.
-
He sends it through his prophetess.
-
He sends it through the people that he can trust, even though sometimes those people are imperfect.
-
Ask David he was an imperfect prophet, but he still prophesied.
-
And even though Noah was a man of God and prophetic in his own right, he drank a little bit sometimes.
-
And even though Abraham was prophetic in his own right, he drank a little bit sometimes.
-
And even though Abraham was prophetic in his own right and God said go to a land that I will show you Every now and then, he didn't trust God.
-
And I want to testify that in this season of life, you got to pray for our prophetic people.
-
You got to pray for the prophets because God is about to speak to, through them, for you, so that you can be what God has called you to be.
-
And that's why we got to be careful with social media.
-
You'll never catch Pastor Walt going back and forth about what some other pastor has done, because but by the grace of God, there go I.
-
So the next time, chosen city, you see a pastor stumble and go the wrong way, instead of praying on them, p-r-e-y, I need us to get down on our knees and pray for them, because God is saying when I want to send you an answer, I'm going to send you a seer.
-
You see, that's the old school language for a prophet.
-
They can see what other people cannot see, and there's something going on in your life and you can't see it, but your woman of God or your man of God may be able to see it.
-
That's why I need to hear from a few more of you.
-
Listen, I'm about to get myself in trouble, but it's not just me.
-
I'm talking to my elders now.
-
There are too many of y'all in the room who have been leaning to your own understanding and trying to figure stuff out, because your intellect is.
-
You got more degrees than than the elders anyway.
-
Yeah, you've been to more marriage seminars than the ministers.
-
Anyway, you got it figured out.
-
You.
-
You may be smarter than everybody else in the room, but can't wait.
-
Can you see what the man or woman of god assigned to your life can see?
-
And I'm trying to help some people today.
-
They got to get connected because y'all have watered down church.
-
It's become optional.
-
But I'm here to remind you in the spirit that you need the man or woman of God in your life.
-
You need to know who your deacon person is, you need to know who your elder is, and we got to do a better job of getting y'all connected, because sometimes God allows us to see some stuff, not because we're perfect, but just because we call.
-
There's a difference.
-
If it was perfection, it was perfection.
-
I ain't got nothing for you.
-
But if you tell me about it and I get it some time to go back and get on bended knee and the lord show me something, I'll call you and tell you what he tell you what the lord has said, and it's up to you what you do with it.
-
Next, when god was dealing with calamity in all of israel.
-
He sent a prophet, and I want to talk about the fact that Jeremiah was a prophet.
-
Jeremiah was a pastor, because it's very important for us to understand that the role of the pastor in this life, so that you can be what God has called you to be and do what God has called you to do.
-
God sends Jeremiah as a prophet and a pastor because there was a problem in the land.
-
I'll say it again Whenever there's a problem, when there is a calamity, god is going to send a prophet and a pastor to speak to the situation.
-
God sends Jeremiah to prophesy to all of the kings of Judah and Israel before they were united, to talk to them about the wages of sin was death, but the gift of God was eternal life.
-
Our text brings us to a king by the name of Zedekiah.
-
Everybody say Zedekiah.
-
Zedekiah will teach us a lot about seasons.
-
He will teach us a lot about seasons.
-
He will teach us a lot about transitions.
-
Men and women of God, I need you to understand something.
-
As I was going and getting poured into myself this week and I was sitting with this apostle, apostle Tessola, bronx, new York, I believe One of the things that he said, and I hope y'all can hear this.
-
He said one of the issues that people of God have is it relates to what God is trying to say Is that we don't manage our transitions.
-
Well, he said we don't manage leaving one season well and going into the next.
-
I started thinking about that thing.
-
I said how many times, pastor Walt, do I say it's a new season, it's a new day, all of that type of thing?
-
But according to apostle tet solo and with the word of god declares, if we don't manage ending our previous season well, it's going to impact everything god is trying to do in the next.
-
He says that church people and we do a horrible job of ending seasons.
-
Well, I want to talk to some people in the room and say there's a word for you, a new season, but you first got to learn how to end the old season.
-
Well, the most dangerous thing that we can do is end a season incorrectly, and that's why your new season is continuously under attack.
-
King Zedekiah had an opportunity to end the rebellion that the people of Israel had against God.
-
They had turned to idol worship.
-
They had turned to things that were against God's plan for their life, but instead of ending it.
-
He carried it on.
-
King Zedekiah had a chance to do things afresh and be who God had called him to be, but instead of being authentically who he was, he decided to operate like the other king.
-
Which brings me to the first thing that I want to tell you that one of the things that you got to do to end the previous season well is in the new season.
-
Be unapologetically who God has called you to be.
-
If you're going to end the old season well in the new season, be unapologetically who God has called you to be.
-
What does that mean?
-
Life is full of seasons.
-
We all understand that.
-
Jesus had a season where he showed up as a baby.
-
That was a season.
-
He had a season where we see him when he's about 12 years old.
-
That was a season.
-
And then we don't see him for a while and he shows up at the temple as an adult, about 30 years old.
-
He understands that the concept of season, season time and manifestation.
-
Everybody say season time and manifestation.
-
Uh, again, this was uh one of the things that I gleaned that part of it uh, from uh apostle testolo, and.
-
And then I gleaned that, that language, from him, and then I went and did my own study, but I gleaned from him that language, season, time and manifestation can.
-
Can I help you to see something so you can be unapologetically you, um, in the natural.
-
If, if we were to pray for, uh, say, snow in the middle of July, uh, it's not going to snow in July.
-
Anybody can tell me why?
-
Because it's not the wet, right way, it's not the right season, but, but, but.
-
But when winter comes, and and it's the right season, and and even when the conditions are right, meaning there's enough moisture in the clouds and it's, and it's cold enough there there are still days that it does not snow, but because, because, because it's not the right timing.
-
Can I pause right there and encourage somebody right now, prophetically, and say you're in the right season?
-
Encourage somebody right now, prophetically, and say you're in the right season, uh, you're just waiting on the right timing.
-
And and some of you will quit, uh, praying for snow, you'll, you'll, you'll quit waiting on god because you feel like you're in the right season, but it just hasn't happened yet.
-
I, I know I'm talking to a few of you, but, but can you encourage your neighbor that's sitting next to you to say you tell them you're in the right season.
-
You just got to wait on the time and tell them so you're in the right season, but you just got to wait on the timing.
-
And what happens is is that when seizing and timing line up, meaning that on that Wednesday, about eight o'clock in the morning, all of a sudden snow starts to fall it was because the season was right and the timing was right and, as a result, the manifestation was snow.
-
I want to talk to some people in the room and say for jesus, that's what we saw, we.
-
We saw the season was right.
-
He came down through 42 generations and and, and he was there to be the savior to the world.
-
But but, as a 12 year old, the timing wasn't right.
-
And and what would have happened is that had he moved too soon, he he would have got ahead of god's.
-
He was there to be the Savior to the world, but as a 12-year-old, the timing wasn't right, and what would have happened is that had he moved too soon, he would have got ahead of God's plan.
-
Can I talk to somebody and say don't move too soon, now You'll get ahead of God's plan.
-
So he didn't do it when he was a baby in the manger.
-
He didn't do it when he was 12 years old, but when he was 30 years old, through the power of the Holy Ghost, he said my time has come.
-
I need to talk to some people in the room and let you know.
-
Under the power of the Holy Ghost, you ought to be getting excited now because the pastor just declared to you that your time has come.
-
You've been waiting for it, but I'm here to declare for you that your time has come.
-
And so what happens?
-
Because Jesus was in the right season and and it was the right time, uh, he walks into the temple.
-
Uh, and he gives us an?
-
Uh, an example of what it means to be unapologetically.
-
You matter of fact, y'all didn't know this, but let me tell you that my commentary declared that that Jesus is the author of the mic drop moment.
-
Did y'all know that that the first one to drop the mic and step back was Jesus?
-
Let me show it to you.
-
Jesus is the author of the mic drop moment.
-
Did y'all know that the first one to drop the mic and step back was Jesus?
-
Let me show it to you.
-
Jesus, because the timing is right, he walks into the temple Now, the temple.
-
You got to have a collar around your neck.
-
The temple.
-
You got to have a chain on the temple.
-
You got to know somebody to be able to speak in the temple.
-
He walks into the temple and he starts to do something.
-
He takes the scroll of Isaiah and he rolls out the scroll and they say who is this dude from the ghetto of Nazareth that has the nerve to stand in front of us?
-
And Jesus ain't worried about what nobody got to say, because he's closing his last season, because he understands that transition that hit his house.
-
Did y'all hear what I said?
-
He's no longer just a boy that was born in a manger.
-
He's no longer Mary and Joseph's child.
-
He is now on assignment as a savior and he ain't got time to listen to what the naysayers say.
-
Side point to the side point.
-
Can I talk to some people in the room and let you know that you got to guard your ear gates in this season.
-
I'm sorry.
-
I've gotten to the point that I will do pastoral ministry anywhere.
-
I will do pastoral ministry at the hospital.
-
I go to the hospital all the time.
-
I'll do pastoral ministry in the parking lot.
-
I'll go to the parking lot all the time I'll do pastoral ministry at your house.
-
I do that all the time, but there's a place that I don't let people come to anymore and it's a fresh start for me.
-
I can't let everybody come into my office.
-
What do you mean, pastor Walt?
-
Why can't everybody come into your office?
-
Because that's the place that I have supernatural faith, and too many times folks that came into my office talking about what we cannot do, talking about what they're worried about.
-
I'm here to talk to the people in the room and say that if God is speaking to you, you got to learn to protect your ear gates.
-
I can't deal with that negativity now.
-
I can't deal with your faithlessness now.
-
This is the place of supernatural breakthrough, this is the place of supernatural wonder, and I can't listen to everything and listen to God at the same time.
-
So, jesus, he protects his ear gates and he rolls out the scroll, because he's unapologetically himself and he says he started to read that the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
-
Paraphrasing, he starts to talk about what happens when the spirit of the Lord is upon you.
-
He said when the spirit of the Lord is upon you, it's to proclaim the good news, it is to bring salvation and it's to set the captives free.
-
After he reads from the scroll, he rolls the scroll back up and we have our first mic drop moment in history.
-
I want to talk to some people in the room that for you to close the season, you got to be unapologetically who you are.
-
There are some people in the room you're still worried about other people's opinion about what you're going to do, but when you know God has called you to it, roll out the scroll, read what the scroll is saying and then put the microphone down, because what I ain't going to do is go back and forth with you about what God said to me.
-
I need some people in the room that if you're gonna close the last season, right, you gotta be unapologetically you.
-
The second thing is that if you're gonna close the last season, right, you gotta learn how to let the dead bury the dead.
-
Now I don't know about y'all, but the first time I read that scripture I said Jesus, lord forgive me, but they told me I could talk to you.
-
How I talk.
-
First time I read that scripture I said, jesus, you cold-blooded.
-
I said, man, you fussing at the people for wanting to go to Big Mama funeral and the Lord said you missed the whole thing.
-
He said I'm not speaking against their ability to mourn.
-
See what was happening here.
-
Jesus had called some disciples and he said come with me and now do it quickly.
-
And here the Lord is saying to some of you, come now and do it quickly.
-
One of them said I will go, god, but first let me go back and bury my loved one.
-
And Jesus said let the dead bury the dead.
-
And I said I can't go to grandma's funeral.
-
That's cold-blooded, but that's what it take, god.
-
I guess I'll see if that's what it's.
-
He said you missed the whole thing.
-
He said what I'm speaking about is that the dead were those that were faithless.
-
The dead were those that didn't believe.
-
He said you got to leave.
-
If you're going to close this, if you're going to walk into a new transition, into a new season, you got to let the dead folks stay over there While you are trying to go over here.
-
And I want to talk to some people in the room and tell you that you got to let the dead bury the dead.
-
You got to let the people that don't see it let the dead bury the dead.
-
You got to let the people that don't believe it let the dead bury the dead.
-
And the reason some of you all are having issues is because you keep taking the dead stuff to the place where God is trying to birth new life.
-
I'm gonna run that one back you keep taking dead stuff to the place where God is trying to birth new life.
-
My baby boys shout out to any nurses in the room.
-
My boys were in the NICU.
-
They spent when they were born, february of 2016,.
-
They spent the first month of their life in the NICU and, even though I was their father, even though Tiffany was their mother, whenever we would go into the NICU, there was a process.
-
First of all, they made us put on these blue gowns.
-
It was a process.
-
Somebody said it was a process.
-
I'm like these, my baby boys.
-
I should be able to go in when I want to go in.
-
They, my boys.
-
I brought them here, but the nurse said I'm trying to help you, to help them.
-
He said, because there is some stuff on you that if we don't deal with you, go in the NICU.
-
And he said a NICU is a special place.
-
He said it's a special place because it's a place of birth, but it's a place of early birth and when God is birthing something early in your life, earlier than many people project it, sometimes it needs a little TLC.
-
You know what I'm talking about.
-
You got to take care of it extra good.
-
It's a sensitive spot.
-
Can I talk to somebody right now?
-
Let you know that your dream and your vision and your call is in the NICU.
-
And since it's in the NICU, you got to go through this process when, when I would go into the NICU, in the process I put that blue gown on and y'all, they had the best smelling soap in the world.
-
Oh my God, you go in this little machine and you had to put your hands in there and a little light come on and it scrub you down.
-
It's killing all of the dead stuff.
-
And then, look, I had a good nurse.
-
She would look at my little fingernails, make sure it wasn't nothing under them, and while it seemed to be unnecessary, she was making sure that nothing dead on me was about to kill the new thing that God was trying to birth into my family.
-
I'm trying to talk to the people in the room.
-
You got to let the dead bury the dead If you're going to walk in a new season.
-
You can't take the old stuff into the new place, otherwise you'll contaminate the thing that God is trying to do in your life.
-
Be unapologetically.
-
You.
-
Let the dead, bury the dead and deal with opposition quickly.
-
King Zedekiah, he did none of that.
-
He, he was not unapologetically himself.
-
He acted like the other kings.
-
He hung around with the dead and and and dealt with dead and idle worship.
-
But the third thing is that we have to deal with opposition quickly.
-
If we are going to be who God has called us to be, we got to deal with opposition quickly.
-
That some of you, god is trying to transition and he's heard your prayers.
-
But he says you're not dealing with your opposition quick enough, you're playing with it too long.
-
You're playing around with it.
-
You won't deal with it as it need to be dealt with.
-
Sometimes you got to deal with some stuff.
-
Y'all see Jesus.
-
Jesus has his 12 and it's time for him to transition.
-
He's letting them know at the Lord's Supper that I'm about to atone for the sins of the world.
-
But one of y'all will betray me.
-
Everybody at the table saying is it I, lord?
-
Is it I?
-
Am I going to be the one that's going to betray you.
-
Jesus said the one that put his hand in the dish with me.
-
He said the one that put his hand in the dish with me is the one that's going to betray me.
-
And as Jesus put his hands in the dish, judas put his hand in the dish at the same time.
-
Judas looking at Jesus, jesus looking at Judas.
-
You know what Jesus said.
-
The top five things that Jesus did not do.
-
Number one Judas, I can't believe you did this to me, dog, I can't.
-
I'm trying to figure out.
-
How did we get here, judas, and you have made you the treasure and everything.
-
Number one he did not spend any time going over what happened.
-
Number two he didn't go to Facebook or Instagram and say you know some people you can trust, but every now and then, other folk, they put their hand in the dish with you.
-
If you know, you know he didn't do that.
-
He didn't go to Twitter and say I can't believe this happened to me.
-
And then everybody started responding and said what's wrong.
-
And Judas, jesus, and said why are you in my business?
-
Well, jesus, you put it on Twitter.
-
So I'm just saying he did none of that.
-
What did Jesus do with his betrayer.
-
He said whatever you're about to do, do it quickly.
-
That's how you end a season.
-
Judas, your time in my life has come to an end.
-
You fulfill your purpose.
-
Whatever it is you're about to do, do it quickly.
-
And there are too many of y'all in the room trying to analyze what Judas did to you.
-
There are too many of y'all want to talk about your feelings about Judas.
-
And I'm here to tell you the longer you keep talking about Judas and the longer you keep dealing with your feelings and the longer you keep singing 1990 R&B song classics talking about emotions make you cry sometimes the longer you keep doing this stuff, it's the longer that you can't end that season to get to the place where God will have you to be.
-
Be unapologetic, let the dead bury the dead, deal with opposition quickly and trust in what the Lord is saying, not how you feel.
-
Those were the four because we're in transition and King Zedekiah is in transition, but he did not manage to transition well because he was not unapologetically who God called him to be.
-
He hung out with dad, stuff too much, he didn't deal with opposition quickly and he failed to trust in what the Lord was saying, not how he felt.
-
Jeremiah 17, verse 9 the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
-
Who can know it?
-
Can I talk to some people in the room and let you know that the reason you've been having the issue that you've been having is because you've been trying to make decisions based on how you feel and based on your emotions, and the word of god is clear that my heart can deceive me, that your heart can deceive me.
-
Matter of fact, the word of god says the heart is deceitful above all things, that that that means that it suggests that that my heart can be even more deceitful than the devil.
-
Oh, put it up on the screen.
-
Media team.
-
Jeremiah 17, verse 9 the heart is deceitful above all things, and and desperately wicked.
-
Who can know it?
-
Which suggests that men and women of god, I mean run it back, for right now you have to get to the point where you're not trusting how you feel.
-
You're trusting, trusting in what he said.
-
I can't trust how I feel because some Sundays I may not feel like preaching.
-
I can't trust how I feel because some Sundays, some days, I may not feel like being a daddy.
-
I can't trust how I feel because some days I may not feel like being a husband.
-
I can't trust how I feel because some days I may not feel like being a husband.
-
I can't trust how I feel because some days I may not feel like being an entrepreneur.
-
But all of those things have purpose and all of those things are a time of my calling.
-
So I got to get out of my feelings, because my feelings can be fatal and if I'm going to end the last season appropriately, I got to get out of my feelings.
-
Say it to somebody.
-
You got to get out of your feelings.
-
You got to get out of my feelings.
-
Tell somebody you got to get out of your feelings.
-
You got to get out of your feelings.
-
King Zedekiah.
-
He did none of this.
-
He trusted what he was feeling.
-
Which brings us to our close Jeremiah, a prophet to all of Israel.
-
Zedekiah, the last king going through transition.
-
It's interesting because Zedekiah would be the last king Israel would know in the Bible and I'm wondering if God said he was the last king because this king flunked transition so bad that he was done with this king as we knew it.
-
Zedekiah was the last king.
-
The word came through Jeremiah that the Babylonians were about to take over all of Israel, no matter how many times Jeremiah would preach this truth, the people would stand up against Jeremiah because there were other prophetic voices saying that God is not going to let that happen to us.
-
What are you going to do, man and woman of God, when you're the only one that believe what you believe and see what you say?
-
See, I need you to say I'm going to say it anyway when I come.
-
I'm the only one that can see it, I'm going to say it anyway.
-
Can I talk to the people in the room If you're the only one that can see it?
-
Say it anyway.
-
Well, here's the problem.
-
Now, pastor Walt just got you in trouble again.
-
You, let me get you in trouble Because Jeremiah said it anyway.
-
Jeremiah became the source of people's problems.
-
They concluded that they'd be better off without Jeremiah by simply throwing him in jail.
-
They throw him in jail and he's in the lockup.
-
And guess what happens?
-
Everything that the man of God said was going to happen to Babylon started to happen.
-
I mean to Israel started to happen.
-
The Babylonians seized the city and they surrounded the city.
-
And now the people trying to figure out what to happen.
-
The Babylonians seized the city and they surrounded the city and now the people trying to figure out what to do and all of a sudden that same old king, king Zedekiah, said hey, there was a prophet.
-
Somebody said, well, yeah, here's the church.
-
No, here's the library.
-
No, we put them in the lock up.
-
Isn't that something?
-
How folk will throw you away until they need you.
-
He throw Jeremiah away until he needed him.
-
So he go down and said bring him out of the prison.
-
And he said hey, jeremiah, my bad about the whole prison thing.
-
It was a misunderstanding.
-
That didn't mean you any harm.
-
But, believe it or not, some of the stuff that you said is starting to come to pass.
-
He said that the Babylonians have surrounded the city and I want to talk to some people in the room because maybe you're dealing with your own Babylon.
-
Maybe it's not a natural army, but maybe it's something in the spirit that has you surrounded.
-
Do I have anybody in the room that knows what it feels like to be surrounded by some stuff?
-
Well, I want to prophesy to you.
-
He goes to Jeremiah after they pull him out of the prison.
-
He said Jeremiah, I got one question for you.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Now?
-
Jeremiah could have been like some of us and said you weren't asking me for a word when you put me in this prison.
-
You weren't asking me for a word when you stopped returning my phone calls.
-
You weren't asking me for a word when you stopped supporting me.
-
You weren't asking me for a word when you didn't, when you didn't show up when I needed you the most.
-
But I'm glad that we operate in the spirit of Jeremiah that, even though I could turn my back on you because how you treated me, I got enough God in me to be mature enough to be bigger than that.
-
And I need to talk to some people in the room and the Lord is saying that you got to have enough God in you to be bigger than that.
-
I know that the baby father has been horrible to you, but you got to be bigger than that.
-
Perhaps it's the baby mother that's been horrible to you, but you got to be bigger than that Because there's a big God that's working on the inside of you and he's about to do something on the outside.
-
Jeremiah defined the big God that was working on the inside of him as a fire that is shut up in his bones, and I need to let you know that the reason that you have an answer to the unanswered questions is because there is a fire that has been shut up in your bones.
-
But I got some good news that the Lord is about to bring your fire out.
-
I got some good news that the God is about to rekindle some of your flame.
-
I got some good news that God is about to pour some kerosene on your assignment.
-
I got some good news that some of y'all about to get turned up for Jesus.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of y'all about to get your mojo back.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of y'all about to be who God has called you to be.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of y'all about to prophesy like you never prophesied before.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of you are going to lay hands on your own family members and they shall live and not die.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of you are going to lay hands on the doors of your own business and, before you know it, new clouds will be flowing in.
-
They'll be flowing in.
-
I got some good news.
-
Some of you are going to lay hands on your children's homework and your children will be able to retain the information.
-
I wish I was surrounded by some prophets that understand that whenever there is an unanswered question, that God always speaks through his prophet.
-
And you thought you couldn't be prophetic because you were in the prison.
-
You thought you couldn't be prophetic because you've been going through depression.
-
You thought you couldn't be prophetic because you've been going through depression.
-
You thought you couldn't be prophetic because you've had financial difficulties.
-
You thought you couldn't be prophetic because you have a whole lot of stuff against you.
-
But I'm here to let you know that if a king that does not believe can see what's inside of Jeremiah, don't you know that the world can see what's inside of you, and I want to talk to some people in the room and see if I can stir up the gift, because there's a gift inside of you.
-
Even though you've been in a prison a while.
-
Somebody said there's a gift in me.
-
I'm trying to stir up the gift because the world wants to know.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
We got this election coming.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
We just dealt with Hurricane Helene.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Hurricane Milton just passed over Florida.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Haiti still doesn't have an elected government.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Haiti still doesn't have an elected government.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Israel is at war with the people of Habas and Hezbollah and innocent people are dying in the process.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
Our young brothers are still going to clubs and every Saturday night around 3 am, you hear the sirens go off because yet another one who had a life filled with promise got snubbed out because of some foolishness.
-
You got to ask yourself the question is there any word from the Lord?
-
And I want to let you know that I got some good news now and I need all of my people that operate in the prophetic.
-
I need all of my people that know God speaks through you.
-
You don't have to have a collar on, you don't have to have a fancy title, you just know that God speaks through you.
-
I need all of my prophetic people in the room.
-
I need you to start declaring now, because I know the Lord is talking to you, and I need you to charge this atmosphere because there's somebody sitting next to you.
-
They're trying to find out.
-
Is there a word from the Lord?
-
The relationship just came to an end and they're trying to find out.
-
Is there a word from the Lord?
-
And they're trying to find out.
-
Is there a word from the Lord?
-
They just finished with the MRI and it didn't look too good and they're trying to find out.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
I need some more prophetic people in the room.
-
I believe he's raising up some more.
-
He's raising you up because I can't get to your people, but if you feel God speaking on the inside of you, you ought to start prophesying to the dry bones, because the word of God declares if we prophesy to the dead bones, if we prophesy to the dead situation, these bones shall live.
-
Good God, almighty, I just prophesied to somebody's marriage these bones shall live.
-
I just prophesied to somebody's business these bones shall live.
-
I just prophesied to somebody's business.
-
I know you had a bad summer, but I just heard the Lord say these bones shall live.
-
I need about 15 more prophetic people that believe that God speaks through you, that believe that God shows you stuff.
-
We ought to start prophesying in the room.
-
We ought to start speaking in the room.
-
Open up your mouth, speak it right now, because we got to charge your atmosphere, because I believe in God for a miracle, I believe in God for a breakthrough, I believe in God to turn it around.
-
Is there any?
-
Word from the Lord.
-
Here's the challenge.
-
They decided to go home.
-
Here's the challenge.
-
A word came from Jeremiah.
-
The king heard the word and said Jeremiah, I'm gonna leave you out of the prison because what you told me was right.
-
But here came, the people again Start whispering in the king's ear and they said Jeremiah ain't with us, because everything that he's saying is coming true, as if Jeremiah was the author of the message.
-
And so now it gets worse for Jeremiah, because they take him this time and they take him from a prison and put him in a cistern we would call it a well.
-
They put him in a well for an extended period of time, and I want to talk to some people that are prophetic in the room, and you feel like you're in a well right now, that God is still about to use you greatly.
-
One of the things that we learn from the king is this when it comes to, is there any word from the Lord, we have to know what God said, but we have to know, more importantly, what God is saying.
-
We have to know what God said, but we have to know what God is saying.
-
We have to know what God said, but we have to know what God is saying.
-
He said to the king that, yes, the Babylonians are about to take over everything.
-
But the next time the king came back to Jeremiah, god had a fresh word.
-
It didn't contradict, it, was a completion of the sentence.
-
See, sometimes y'all check out on God too soon because you didn't like what he was saying, can y'all?
-
Let don't miss somebody, tell somebody don't miss the benediction, let God finish talking.
-
Every now and then you think you got it all figured out and you walk away and you miss the most important part of the message God said to the king, missed the most important part of the message God said to the king yeah, the Babylonians about to take over everything.
-
That's what he said.
-
But when he came back in the 38th chapter, the Lord was saying, king, had you stayed and listened?
-
What I was saying was that if you surrender to the Babylonians, I won't let them kill you.
-
If you surrender to the Babylonians, I won't let them kill you.
-
If you surrender to the Babylonians, I won't let them burn down Jerusalem.
-
If you surrender to the Babylonians, your people will live and not die.
-
But instead the king focused on the first part of what God said and missed what God was saying.
-
And I wonder how many of y'all in the room are missing what God is saying.
-
And because the king missed what God was saying, the Bible declares that the Babylonians came in, they burned down Jerusalem, they destroyed the temple.
-
They destroyed the temple, they killed the people, they captured his sons and captured him Before they killed him.
-
They allowed him to watch his sons to be executed.
-
Can you imagine something happening to your children because you wouldn't surrender?
-
It's tight, but it's right.
-
It happened because you wouldn't surrender and the last thing the king saw in the earth was his children getting killed because he didn't listen to God.
-
And then they took his life.
-
Men and women of God, it's time for us to go.
-
But the question on the flow is simple Is there any word from the Lord?
-
The answer is yes, but the question is what are you going to do with what you heard?
-
What are you going to do with what you heard?
-
That's the question of being prophetic.
-
That's the question of walking in God's will.
-
It's too many times we walk out of church and we say, oh, that was good, oh, that was awesome, but there is no shift in behavior.
-
It's too many times we walk out of stewardship class and say, man, we got beat up today but we go back to bad habits, habits.
-
The Lord is saying that, as I asked King Zedekiah to surrender, I'm asking some of you today will you surrender, will you give it all to me right now so that I can get you to the place where I would have you to be?
-
That's the call on the floor right now.
-
That that?
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
The answer is yes, but the answer comes with your surrender.
-
The answer comes with you putting your life in his hands.
-
The answer comes with you putting your agenda in his hands.
-
The answer comes with you putting your children in his hands.
-
The answer comes with you putting your coming and going in his hands.
-
Is there any word from the Lord?
-
There's a word, but the answer has to be that I'm going to surrender based on what I heard, and I need everybody in the room that will agree with me in the spirit that I'm not going to just be a hearer of the word, I'm going to be a doer of the word.
-
I need every last one of us in the room.
-
Holly, if you hear me, you done heard that phrase before.
-
I'm going to say it again because I'm not talking to your natural man.
-
Now.
-
I'm going to say it again Because I'm not talking to your natural man.
-
Now, I'm talking to your spirit man.
-
I'm talking to him and say holly, if you hear me, I'm really talking to your spirit man and say holly, if you hear me, make some noise unto the Lord, if you're like yes, god, yes God, I hear you and I'm going to make a shift.
-
I hear you and I'm going to make a change.
-
No, you got to holler.
-
If you hear me, I'm talking to your spirit.
-
You know during the Bible that when Jesus' cousin John encountered him while they were both in their mother's wombs, when baby John in vitro, john encountered in vitro Jesus, the Bible says that John leaped because something on his spirit recognized.
-
So I'm talking to your spirit right now.
-
Your flesh may not want to move, but I'm talking to your spirit right now.
-
I'm talking to your spirit.
-
Now I'm talking to your spirit.
-

-
There's a yes, he is going to make a way.
-
There's a yes, he is going to turn it around.
-
There's a yes, yes, but you got to close the last season properly.
-
There is a yes, Some of you need to close your last season properly by forgiving the people that hurt you in the last season.
-
There is a yes, holler, if you hear me, I'm trying to go home, but I don't hear the saints hollering.
-
I want to hear from your natural man.
-
I want to hear from your spirit man.
-
I'm talking to the spirit that's in you, holler, if you hear me, if there's a call on your life and you have yet to walk into it, you know you call.
-
You know you're anointed.
-
Everybody get your gifts, but Jesus.

-
Wells Fargo, get it.

-
What does that mean?
-
Family?

-
The answer is yes, but he's looking for your surrender.
-
I got a challenge to people in the room Number one.
-
If the Holy Spirit is not leading you to this place of assembly, then we pray that the Lord will send you to the right place.
-
But if God has you here, how long before you give God a yes, there's a seer that's assigned to your life, assigned to pray for you.
-
Cover you.
-
Let's celebrate God.
-
To God be the glory Y'all.
-
Look at all these men.
-
Y'all celebrate these young brothers.
-
If you don't have a church home, let's celebrate God.
-
If you don't have a church home, can I challenge your theology to say you need a pastor, you need a covering.
-
I want to challenge you and say you can't do this life by yourself.
-
I can't do this life by myself.
-
I have a pastor, because I can't make it out here without having a covering.
-
So I can't make it out here without having a covering.
-
So I need you to respond to what God is saying today, as we stand to our feet.
-
We're about to go home.
-
I want to stand to our feet.

-
This is the part where you check on the sister or brother that's by you and you ask them are they?
-
Are they good?
-
First thing, you ask them, are they good?
-
Because they could be a partner and need prayer.
-
The second thing I want you to ask them is do they have a church home?
-
And the third thing I want you to ask them is do they have a relationship with Jesus Christ?
-
And if they couldn't answer affirmatively, say may I walk with you, because let them know that they're not here if I happen stands a coincidence that God brought him here for a reason.
-

-
And I want to say there's a gift in you that this body needs.
-
I'm unashamed to say that every church has holes and you didn't know it, but the gift that you've been sitting on is the gift that we need.

But let them know, god, that you're going to heal them from their last hurt and they're going to close that season properly so that they can walk into the new season of now.

But they got to trust you again, god.
