Praise God. Now, I want you to grab your
-
Bibles. [music] Go with me to Isaiah
-
chapter number 30, verse number 21 and
-
22. Uh we will read those two verses out
-
of the New King James Version. And then
-
I've got one translation I want to shift
-
into for verse number 22. Um but when
-
you get there, say, "I got it." All
-
right, that sounded about like 30%. So,
-
we'll give it just a moment. But I feel
-
like today somebody is walking out of
-
this house free in Jesus name. and
-
you're going to be part of that. So look
-
at your neighbor, say, "You walking out
-
free today. You walking out free." And
-
and here's how I feel about it. If it
-
was up to me, I don't care if you want
-
to walk out free, you getting free in
-
Jesus name. Um so here's what I know. If
-
nobody else walks out free, I'm walking
-
out free today. I'm going to walk out
-
free. Isaiah 30 [music] 21. When you get
-
there, say, "I got it." All right.
-
Here's what the word of God says. Your
-
ears shall hear a word behind you
-
saying, "This is the way. walk in it.
-
Somebody say, "Walk [music] in it."
-
>> He said, "Whenever you turn uh to the
-
right hand or when whenever you turn to
-
the left," he said, "you will also in
-
verse 22 defile the covering of your
-
images of silver and the ornament of
-
your molded images of gold." He said,
-
"You will throw them away as an unclean
-
thing, and you will say to them, get
-
away." Somebody shout, "Get away."
-
>> Get away.
-
>> Now, I love that. But I really like how
-
the New Living Translation says it.
-
Verse 22. You can follow along in the
-
screen. Maybe you have that version. You
-
can do that with your with your handheld
-
Bible or maybe your digital Bible,
-
whatever it looks like. But it says
-
this, "Then you will destroy all your
-
silver idols and your precious golden
-
images. [music] You will throw them out
-
like filthy rags." Come on, that
-
preaches a little better than unclean
-
thing. Come on, them filthy rags.
-
[music] But he says saying to them,
-
"Good riddance."
-
Somebody shout, "Good riddance."
-
>> I feel this in my spirit today. And this
-
this is a different type of title for
-
me. So you have to follow along with me.
-
Uh I feel like today some things are
-
going to end. Things are going to stop
-
today in you and your family and your
-
family line. And beyond the shadow of a
-
doubt, I feel like I'm directly on
-
assignment today. So here's my title.
-
blank space ends here.
-
Somebody say blank
-
>> ends here.
-
>> And so you can fill in the blank
-
wherever that leads and has been part of
-
your life. [music] But I believe today
-
whatever that is in Jesus name is going
-
to end here. How many with me today?
-
Let's pray. Father, we thank you for
-
your word. We thank you for your
-
blessings. Help me Holy Spirit. [music]
-
In Jesus name we pray. And everybody
-
says amen. Amen. you may be seated in
-
the presence of the Lord today. Today
-
things are going to end. I I have to
-
digress a little bit and give you a a
-
touch of historical context on where we
-
are. Uh because the chapter 30 of Isaiah
-
is a very incredible chapter. If you go
-
back and read this later on, uh you can
-
see the dance that the children of Judah
-
were doing before God and how that they
-
were uh they they had an assignment.
-
They had a call. They'd seen God do
-
incredible things, but then they were up
-
against the enemy that honestly they
-
didn't know what to do with that enemy.
-
And so the context is Judah faces a a
-
terrifying threat and the threat is
-
Assyria. uh when you read scripture and
-
you understand the totality and where
-
this lands and uh who Assyria was during
-
that time, they were a major uh military
-
power in the area, they were a major
-
political power and they had great
-
economic resources as well. So literally
-
anything they wanted to do with their
-
own strength, they could have done. And
-
this is where Judah was. Judah was in a
-
spot to where they knew what God said,
-
but uh if if we're being honest, God
-
didn't answer when they wanted him to
-
answer.
-
Some of you are already hearing with
-
spirit ears today. I if we're honest
-
today, we understand there are times
-
when we ask God to do something, but God
-
doesn't do it on our timeline. Then we
-
question whether God really is who he
-
says he is.
-
>> Oh, come on now. I'm I'm going to preach
-
here in a minute. This I'm just laying a
-
little bit of groundwork. But the fact
-
is they they had powers that surpassed
-
those of Judah. And because of that,
-
Judah was looking through flesh eyes
-
rather than looking through the voice of
-
God that had already spoke in their
-
life. So instead of depending on God,
-
Judah's leaders sought military and
-
economic protection not from God, but
-
from Egypt.
-
You read the scripture and you can see
-
where they went. They ended up in a
-
place where they they they were not
-
depending upon God, but they were
-
depending upon worldly sources to be
-
able to bring them through a SPIRITUAL
-
BATTLE. IF YOU EVER face a spiritual
-
battle in a carnal mindset, you are
-
already defeated from the beginning.
-
Because here's the position you and I
-
hold. We are spiritual beings. WE DO NOT
-
FIGHT AGAINST flesh and blood. Can I get
-
a witness in the house? Go back to
-
Ephesians. Talk to me, Paul. When we
-
understand we don't fight against flesh
-
and blood, but against principalities
-
and powers, rulers of darkness,
-
PRINCIPALITY, ALL THESE THINGS,
-
SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. SO
-
THAT MEANS I DON'T FIGHT FROM HERE. I
-
fight from the heavenly place. Can I get
-
a witness in the house? The first thing
-
the enemy wants you to do is get out of
-
position. You need to understand our
-
position to fight is in the heavenlies.
-
Our position is not to fight from Egypt,
-
not to fight from a carnal mindset. And
-
this is where Judah found themselves.
-
Rather than embracing who God had
-
already called them to be and destined
-
them to be, they said, "I know a better
-
way because I see it WITH MY EYES." BUT
-
REALLY, ALL God was waiting on them to
-
do was say, "If you JUST LOOK UP, I'VE
-
GOT GREATER POWER THAN ANYTHING THE
-
enemy has against your life." Can I
-
encourage somebody today? You've got a
-
report. This past week, the enemy SPOKE
-
INTO YOUR LIFE AND THE ENEMY SAID THINGS
-
AND NOW YOU'RE looking for every
-
resource the world has to offer. When
-
God IS SAYING, "I'M RIGHT HERE AND I'VE
-
GOT EVERY answer you have." COME ON. HOW
-
MANY KNOW IT'S TRUE THAT GOD WILL TAKE
-
CARE of you in your dark? Come on. I
-
wish I had a little help right here at
-
the beginning of the message. I KNOW I
-
GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT IS THERE
-
ANYBODY THAT SAY, "I'VE SEEN GOD BE
-
FAITHFUL WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE HAS FALLEN
-
APART. I'VE SEEN GOD COME THROUGH WHEN
-
IT LOOKED IMP. SEEN GOD SHOW UP WHEN
-
EVERYBODY ELSE AROUND ME left me.
-
>> Look at your neighbor and say, "He's a
-
trustworthy God."
-
>> But if you go back to the very beginning
-
of chapter 30, you see what they said.
-
This is a synopsis of it. It's not the
-
complete two verses, but I pinned this,
-
wrote this in here. This is what was
-
said of the children of Israel or the
-
children of Judah. He said, "Woe to the
-
children or to the rebellious children,
-
says the Lord, WHO TAKE COUNSEL BUT NOT
-
of me." He said this in verse third or
-
verse number two. Who walked to go down
-
to Egypt but have not asked for my
-
advice. They are looking everywhere but
-
where they should have looked for the
-
answer. Judah took counsel but not from
-
God. THEY WENT DOWN TO EGYPT WITHOUT
-
even asking FOR GOD'S ADVICE OR WATCH
-
this even asking for God's permission.
-
And the core problem showed up WHENEVER
-
THEY GOT TO EGYPT because Judah moved
-
without consulting God. It led to a
-
nation that followed this kind of path.
-
They made plans without prayer.
-
Hello somebody. THEY HAD STRATEGY
-
WITHOUT surrender to God's presence.
-
THEY SOUGHT COUNSEL WITHOUT CONSULTATION
-
with the father in heaven. They had
-
movement but they had no divine
-
direction. Come on somebody. The truth
-
is Judah had witnessed God's
-
intervention before and God's hand
-
before. But now, WATCH THIS. JUDAH FACED
-
A DELAYED ANSWER. And in this season, I
-
want you to understand delay is
-
difficult.
-
>> I'm not here to tell you that because
-
you feel a little antsy because God
-
ain't answered yet means that you're not
-
a Christian. That's not true. That means
-
you're human.
-
>> Can I Can I get some help in the room?
-
>> You say, "Well, I'm so spiritual. If God
-
delays, I just sit there." Well, good
-
for you.
-
Those of us who are real people saying,
-
"Well, wonder where God's going to
-
answer." Come on. I GOD, WHERE WHERE YOU
-
AT? I I KNOW YOU I KNOW YOU LOVE ME. I
-
know I SEEN YOUR WORD. I TRUST YOU. BUT
-
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF ME
-
THAT'S SAYING, "DO I NEED TO make a
-
move? DO I NEED TO DO THIS?" BUT REALLY,
-
GOD HAS CALLED US BACK TO A PLACE OF
-
TRUST IN HIM.
-
>> DELAY, watch this, is not something to
-
SET YOU UP FOR FAILURE. Delay is to get
-
you ready to carry the weight for the
-
next season that God has for you.
-
Because you know it's true. If you say,
-
"God, I need a million dollars." If God
-
gave you a million million dollars right
-
now, by the end of the month, it will be
-
gone.
-
>> Hello.
-
BECAUSE WATCH THIS, THE DELAY IS
-
TEACHING YOU IN THAT MOMENT THAT YOU may
-
need to RESTRUCTURE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. SO
-
WHEN GOD DOES GIVE YOU THE BLESSING,
-
WATCH THIS, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY and the
-
capacity and the bandwidth to handle the
-
blessing.
-
>> Come on. I want I I want I want it all,
-
God. But God, prepare me for what you
-
have for me so I don't fall or am
-
crushed under the weight of the blessing
-
that you want to give my life.
-
>> Cuz that means I've skipped the process
-
to get to the blessing when God is the
-
blesser and he wants us to go through
-
the process to understand who he is in
-
our life. Meaning that if I have little,
-
guess what? He's still good.
-
>> If I'm in the negative, guess what? He's
-
still good. If I have more than enough
-
and I can bless other people, HE'S STILL
-
GOOD. AND THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THOSE
-
SCENARIOS, I still could NOT PROVIDE FOR
-
MYSELF, THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT
-
EVERYTHING THAT I have in my life points
-
me back to one person, AND THAT IS GOD
-
IS MY SOURCE. IF I EVER GET TO THE PLACE
-
TO SAY, look what I've done, THEN I'VE
-
ALLOWED PRIDE TO GET IN MY LIFE, AND
-
I'LL BE LIKE THESE, THE Judah people
-
right here in the scripture, and I will
-
run to the answer everywhere I can get
-
it because IF I PRODUCE BEFORE, I GOT TO
-
BE ABLE TO PRODUCE AGAIN. But I think
-
it's time the people of God got to the
-
point that we realize we are not the
-
source. He is the source. And if I'm
-
going to see HIM BLESS MY LIFE, I GOT TO
-
CHOOSE TO TRUST HIM. CAN I GET A WITNESS
-
IN THE HOUSE? HOW MANY SAY, "I'VE
-
TRUSTED HIM AND HE'S BEEN FAITHFUL. I'VE
-
TRUSTED HIM AND HE'S TAKEN CARE OF ME.
-
I'VE TRUSTED HIM AND HE HAS WALKED WITH
-
me every step of the way."
-
So the fact is delay doesn't mean you
-
did something wrong. It probably means
-
God's preparing you for something
-
greater on the other side. And so you
-
have to lean into that and say, "God,
-
all right, if I'm going to be delayed,
-
what you trying to teach me?
-
>> What you trying to teach me?" Have you
-
ever known that you were called to wait
-
in a season and you knew you were called
-
to trust God's process, but even in that
-
waiting, you still stepped out on the
-
grace of God and went to Egypt or the
-
world for the answer.
-
Even though God had always come through
-
before and we've seen him be faithful, I
-
want you to know we've all stepped
-
outside of God's grace at some point of
-
our lives and we've took matters into
-
our own hands. What do you mean, pastor?
-
We've took our family into our own
-
hands. Our marriage, we've tried to fix
-
it on our own, without leaning on God.
-
We've tried to fix our children on our
-
own without leaning on the Lord and
-
trusting his process. We've tried to fix
-
those as a student going back toward the
-
parents. We tried to fix our parents
-
without trusting God. We've tried to fix
-
our finances. Can I get a witness? We
-
tried to fix our health. We've tried to
-
fix our career and our calling without
-
leaning on God. And if we're honest, we
-
usually when we take it into our own
-
hands, what do we do? We make a mess out
-
of it. Can I get a witness? Our way
-
never ends up as good or never ends up
-
good for us. And it leads to us making a
-
mess out of our lives. Isaiah 30 and
-
verse number nine describes them, the
-
children of Judah, in this moment as
-
stubborn rebels who refuse to pay
-
attention to the Lord's instructions. I
-
don't know about you, but when God
-
writes about me, I don't want him to
-
write and say, "He was a stubborn,
-
rebellious child." Come on. I want him
-
to write back and say, "This was one
-
that followed the word. This is one that
-
followed my call. This is one that
-
followed my path no matter what the cost
-
was."
-
>> Cuz watch this. I know this. The the
-
Judah, they desired to trust God. They
-
had a desire to trust God because they
-
seemed to it before, but they felt time
-
was closing in.
-
God called them to trust and even warned
-
them against rebellion. If you go back
-
and read chapter 30 all the way through,
-
but they decided to do things their way.
-
Do you know anybody in your section?
-
Don't point at them. That has tried to
-
do it their way. Maybe you need to go
-
ahead and elbow your neighbor. Say,
-
"He's talking about you." Come on, just
-
be honest. He's talking about you this
-
morning. You know, everybody in the room
-
at some point or another, you have tried
-
I got people pointing themselves. We
-
have tried to do it our way. WE'VE TRIED
-
IT OUR WAY AND AND WATCH THIS. IT HAS
-
FAILED EVERY SINGLE TIME. CAN I BE REAL?
-
I'VE TRIED IT MY WAY AND IT NEVER TURNS
-
OUT GOOD.
-
>> You say, "Well, pastor, you're supposed
-
to be perfect." No, I'm just supposed to
-
live for the Lord and then I tell you
-
all my mistakes so you don't make your
-
mistakes.
-
>> Hello.
-
I tried to figure it out myself. There
-
have been times I've tried to preach
-
under my own knowledge.
-
Come on. It don't work.
-
Sitting there thinking, "Oh, this is
-
going to be the greatest message in the
-
world." And it felt like I was dragging
-
a dump truck uphill the entire time I
-
was preaching
-
because I knew I was trying to preach
-
out of this rather than preach out of
-
what god deposited in my spirit. But
-
today, I know I'm preaching out of what
-
he deposited in my spirit because I see
-
people already getting free in the house
-
today. Some of you say, "I know I've
-
been in a delay process." Trust him in
-
the delay and KNOW THAT HE'S GOING TO
-
MAKE it all right.
-
>> When we try it our way, we make a mess
-
of it. Watch this. Delay doesn't mean
-
denial. So, I'll say it like this. Don't
-
force things out of frustration. Trust
-
God's process.
-
Trust God. WELL, I THOUGHT I'D BE
-
FURTHER along than I am right now. Well,
-
that's the problem. Don't think
-
Amen.
-
>> It's true. Don't think about it. Don't
-
Don't put yourself in a spot where I've
-
got to get myself TO A CERTAIN PLACE.
-
NO. TRUST THE PROCESS AND TRUST THE
-
AUTHOR OF THE process as well.
-
>> Amen.
-
>> Because watch this. They went from
-
refusing to pay attention to God's call
-
and going down to Egypt. Now, watch what
-
that translated into. They got their
-
help from Egypt. Now, they don't need
-
God. So, what do they do? They be they
-
began to be rebellious in their words
-
and actions. And if you go back to
-
Isaiah 30 and verse number 10 and 11,
-
here's what they said to they told the
-
seers, "Stop seeing visions." They told
-
the prophets, "Don't tell us what is
-
right. Tell us nice things. Tell us
-
lies." They demanded, "Forget all this
-
gloom. Get off your narrow path and stop
-
telling us about your holy one of
-
Israel." Can you see the def the defeat
-
or the the degression of the people of
-
God in this moment? They knew God could
-
do it, but they tried to do it their
-
way. AND WHEN THEY GOT THE answer they
-
were looking for, said, "I don't even
-
want to hear the voice of God anymore
-
because I feel convicted about WHAT I'VE
-
DONE." I think we need to get some
-
conviction back in the house of God
-
again to the point we realize we cannot
-
live any way we want to live and be
-
right WITH THE HOLY GOD. I KNOW THIS IS
-
THROWBACK OLD SCHOOL PREACHING, BUT WE
-
GOT to live right according to the WORD
-
OF GOD TO WALK IN THE blessing of God.
-
COME ON. DO I HAVE ANY HOLINESS FOLK IN
-
THE HOUSE TODAY THAT WOULD SAY IT'S NOT
-
ABOUT THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR OR THE
-
LENGTH OF MY DRESS, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE
-
POSTURE OF MY HEART TODAY. AND IF I WANT
-
TO SERVE GOD, I GOT TO SERVE HIM WITH MY
-
WHOLE HEART, MY WHOLE MIND, MY WHOLE
-
STRENGTH. EVERY PART OF MY LIFE HAS TO
-
MATCH UP WITH THE WORD IF I WANT TO BE
-
IN RIGHT STANDING with him.
-
>> And so in that I say, preach conviction,
-
pastor, because I need it to line UP
-
WITH THE WORD OF GOD. BUT CAN YOU SEE
-
THE FALL THE FALL BACK OF THIS
-
GENERATION of Judah? THEY WERE SAYING WE
-
DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS VOICES. THEY
-
WERE BASICALLY SAYING THEY did not they
-
WANTED THE VOICE AND THE ECHOES OF GOD'S
-
VOICE TO BE SILENCED in their life so
-
they could pursue their own desires
-
regardless of the consequences. Watch
-
this. They solidified their decision
-
even after multiple warnings choosing
-
help from Egypt and saying we don't want
-
to HEAR GOD'S VOICE AND WE DON'T WANT TO
-
HEAR THE PROPHETS OR the seers. Don't
-
let conviction come to my heart cuz I
-
don't WANT TO FEEL BAD ABOUT WHAT
-
decision I made. Now watch this. That
-
decision made their decision to trust
-
God separated them from God. Their
-
impatience left them with v virtually no
-
hope inside of their life and they
-
became vulnerable to the attack of the
-
enemy. AND BECAUSE OF ALL THIS, WATCH
-
THIS, they embraced generational cycles
-
of disobedience.
-
If you go back and read the Old
-
Testament, you know how it is. Children
-
of Israel, they did right in the sight
-
of the Lord. And the next group that
-
came in, they did what was wrong in the
-
sight of the Lord. Go back and read the
-
book of Judges. Dude, it's like a roller
-
coaster of emotions up in that thing.
-
You want to feel good one day, you
-
better go back in there. You better pick
-
out the good chapters.
-
If you want to feel bad, go back and
-
read the bad chapters. Know what the
-
pitfalls are that you need to avoid. But
-
can I tell you in that moment I want you
-
to understand the children of Judah in
-
this moment they chose to embrace the
-
cycles and the the the the curses of
-
disobedience that are on their life. And
-
watch this. I want you to hear my heart
-
today. There are many people that sit
-
inside the church that have chosen
-
rather than to trust God. They've
-
stepped outside the grace of God. And
-
now they've fallen prey to the same
-
generational cycle that their father and
-
their grandfather and their
-
great-grandfather had established years
-
before and generations before. AND
-
WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT, YOU LOOK BACK
-
and you say, "Well, that's just how they
-
are."
-
Come on. You You've seen people say that
-
before. They'll see somebody do
-
something like, "Oh, that's that's
-
that's just the Joneses."
-
Come on. They angry about everything.
-
Come on, somebody. They they've always
-
had had had just anger problems. Well,
-
that that's just the the stewards, man.
-
They they they've been they've been
-
drunkers for their entire life, and now
-
Lucas done got the got the youngest one.
-
Come on. A sin, an iniquity that started
-
in a generation before them has been
-
passed down. And the lie that has went
-
along with it is you have to stay that
-
way. Come. Can I can I preach for just a
-
second? The generational curse is going
-
to try to attach itself to your life.
-
BUT WHEN THE LIE COMES WITH THAT
-
generational curse and you believe the
-
lie, you give into the curse and you
-
say, "Well, this is all my life is ever
-
going to be." But I've come to let you
-
know in this house this morning that
-
there is a blood that was coming down
-
from my savior down the cross and
-
dripped onto the ground. And let me tell
-
you, oh precious is the flow. Oh, come
-
on. THAT WASHES ME WHITE AS SNOW.
-
THERE'S STILL POWER IN THE BLOOD. WHAT
-
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TODAY? ALL IT
-
TAKES IS ONE DROP of the blood OF JESUS
-
TO WASH AWAY EVERY INIQUITY, TO WASH
-
AWAY EVERY CYCLE, TO WASH AWAY EVERY
-
CURSE. AND I WANT TO KNOW, IS THERE
-
ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE THAT'LL GIVE GOD
-
PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD OF HIS SON THAT
-
WASHED AWAY EVERY SIN? THAT WASHED AWAY
-
EVERY CURSE, THAT WASHED AWAY EVERY
-
STAIN? I'M THANKFUL CUZ IF IT WASN'T FOR
-
THE BLOOD, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.
-
BUT I'M THANKFUL TODAY. THE CURSE ENDS
-
HERE BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD. SOMEBODY GIVE
-
HIM PRAISE FOR THE blood today.
-
[cheering]
-
THE BLOOD STILL HAS power
-
to break every curse off of our life. So
-
watch this. We aren't called to embrace
-
generational cycles. We are called to
-
break them in Jesus name. Oh man, you
-
better look at your neighbor and say,
-
"Hey, I got good news for you,
-
neighbor."
-
All right, you you listen. I'm Let me
-
just go ahead and fix this. I love all
-
y'all, but y'all sound like a
-
Presbyterian church this morning.
-
I need a Pentecostal church. You need to
-
look at your neighbor and say, "Hey,
-
neighbor."
-
>> That was closer. Now we getting there.
-
You might be might be trinitarian, but
-
it's all right. Look at him and say,
-
"Hey, listen." Say, "Hey, neighbor."
-
>> There we go. LOOK, I SAY, "I GOT GOOD
-
NEWS FOR YOU.
-
>> The curse
-
>> ends here." Oh, come on. I dare you to
-
give God praise for the fact the curse
-
ends here. Come on. I What? Can we TAKE
-
15 SECONDS RIGHT now and jump to our
-
FEET AND GIVE JESUS PRAISE THAT THE
-
CURSE ENDS HERE? WE GOT TO PRAISE HIM
-
FOR IT BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENS. I got to
-
praise him before I EVER SEE IT. I GOT
-
TO PRAISE HIM FOR EVERY PART OF IT. CUZ
-
I BELIEVE THE CURSE ENDS TODAY IN THIS
-
HOUSE.
-
I refuse to let the lie that the enemy
-
has spoken over my life come. And I will
-
repent. I will submit. I will plead the
-
blood. I will confess. And then we're
-
going to break it today in Jesus name.
-
And I want to say this. Instead of
-
leaving the Lord out of your life, let's
-
try a different cycle today. Instead of
-
having plans before prayer, how about we
-
pray before we make plans?
-
>> Oh, come on. How about we surrender
-
before we MAKE A STRATEGY? HOW ABOUT WE
-
SEEK DIVINE direction before we have any
-
kind of movement? I feel like there's a
-
turnaround about to happen in this house
-
because I want you to see in spite of
-
what the children of Judah did and them
-
walking away from God and choosing Egypt
-
and telling all the voices, WE DON'T
-
WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT. CAN I tell you
-
that even though they abandoned God, he
-
did not abandon them. OH MY GOD, I FEEL
-
THAT THIS UNDERSCORES THAT I SERVE A GOD
-
WHO IS FAITHFUL NO MATTER HOW FAITHLESS
-
I AM. I SERVE A GOD WHO LOVES ME IN
-
SPITE OF MY ABANDONMENT OF HIM. AND EVEN
-
WHEN I GIVE UP ON HIM, HE PURSUES ME. HE
-
RUNS AFTER ME. HE GO, "OH MY, I FEEL
-
THAT SOMEBODY'S GETTING IT RIGHT NOW.
-
YOU MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE, BUT LET ME
-
TELL YOU, THE STORY'S NOT OVER, BABY.
-
JESUS IS ABOUT TO rewrite it.
-
>> Woo! Come on, SOMEBODY SAY, "REWRITE my
-
story."
-
What are you TALKING ABOUT, PASTOR? THAT
-
EVEN WHEN I BREAK HIS HEART, he still
-
breaks his neck to get to me.
-
>> Come on. What are YOU TALKING ABOUT?
-
GIVE ME SOME SCRIPTURE BEHIND THAT. BUT
-
God
-
>> who is rich in mercy. Come on, somebody.
-
Oh, does anybody serve a God who's rich
-
in mercy today? If I got nothing else I
-
could take from this message, IT IS THIS
-
RIGHT HERE THAT I ONCE WAS UNDONE, but
-
God WHO IS RICH IN MERCY. I ONCE
-
ABANDONED MY SAVIOR, BUT GOD WHO IS RICH
-
IN MERCY. I ONCE MADE A MESS OF MY LIFE,
-
BUT GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY SHOWED UP
-
AND REDEEMED ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I
-
WISH I HAD SOMEBODY THAT WOULD PRAISE
-
GOD THAT WE SERVE A GOD WHO IS RICH IN
-
MERCY. OH, WHO IS LOVING, WHO IS KIND,
-
WHO IS ABLE TO BREAK EVERY CHAIN OFF OF
-
MY LIFE. I SERVE A GOD WHO IS RICH IN
-
MERCY. WOO! Come on, somebody. He is a
-
merciful God. And if we were able to
-
reflect and be honest this morning, he's
-
given us a lot of mercy.
-
He's given me a lot of mercy. And
-
because he's given me a lot of mercy, I
-
know he'll give you a lot of mercy, too.
-
The truth is today that you don't have
-
to walk out of this room without
-
experiencing the mercy of the great God
-
that I'm preaching about today.
-
>> The trick of the enemy is to say, you
-
hear that pastor, he's talking about
-
everybody but you.
-
>> I let that one settle for a second.
-
You say, "How do you know that? This is
-
not my first rodeo preaching. And I know
-
when I preach about the mercy of God,
-
everybody, there's be somebody in the
-
room that would say, "Pastor, you don't
-
know what I've done." You're right. I
-
don't. But he knows what you did. And he
-
still let you get in here and he had me
-
preach this over your life and let you
-
know, I don't care what you've done. I
-
don't care where you've been. I don't
-
care how many times you made him. Oh my
-
god.
-
Maybe somebody listening by live stream
-
will hear this and let you know that
-
you're not too FAR GONE. HE'S DRAWING
-
YOU BACK RIGHT NOW. AND TODAY IT ENDS
-
HERE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
-
My my my.
-
The truth is the enemy would like to lie
-
to you and tell you it's not going to
-
happen. But I've come to let you know
-
that the God of heaven has had me in
-
warfare over you all week long to let
-
you know that there's somebody in here
-
that was saying, "I'm gonna give mercy
-
one more chance." But can I tell you
-
mercy is right here today with his arms
-
open wide and his name is Jesus. How do
-
you know he's got mercy for me? How do
-
you know he loves me in spite of what I
-
done? Because he said in spite of what
-
you've already done, he died on a cross.
-
He doesn't He already knew you were
-
going to make a mistake. He already knew
-
you was going to blow blow it. He
-
already knew you were going to make a
-
mess of your life. But he said in spite
-
of what you've done, he endured the
-
cross. He despised the shame. And today
-
I want to tell you his mercy is his arms
-
reach stretched out wide today SAYING
-
COME TO THE FATHER and receive the love
-
that he has for your life.
-
>> Oh, I'll go to warfare every time I get
-
in this pull pit because I believe with
-
all my heart, all my soul and all my
-
strength that there are people and their
-
eternity is weighing in the balance.
-
My God,
-
for I am a merciful God and my grace
-
never ends. I say to you today, my my
-
mercies are new today as well. In spite
-
of what you've been through, in spite of
-
what you've done, in spite of the times
-
you've walked away, I am still standing,
-
waiting on you to run to me as the son,
-
the prodical son, ran to his father. And
-
I will meet you right where you're at.
-
You don't have to run all the way to the
-
porch. I will meet you in the road
-
because my mercy for you never ends.
-
Today receive my mercy, says the King of
-
Kings and the Lord of Lords.
-
Come on, somebody. Can you give God
-
praise for his mercy? Come on, give God
-
praise for the merciful God.
-
>> He is a merciful God.
-
Can I tell you that this God that we're
-
preaching about, our God, showed up for
-
Judah despite their rebellion, their
-
separation, their decision, and their
-
outright sin. His redeeming voice
-
drowned out the rebellion, the
-
separation, and the sin. His voice
-
drowned it out. I preached this message.
-
I think it was uh when we had friends
-
and family day down at the barn that one
-
time and I preached about uh the three
-
times before Christ was crucified that
-
the rooster crowed and and and Peter
-
denied Christ three separate times in
-
that and then he meets him not too long
-
after the resurrection on the beach and
-
cooks him some fish and answers asked
-
him three separate questions. Do you
-
love me more than these? And he said, "I
-
love you. I love you. Can I tell you?"
-
The voice of God canceled out the mess
-
that Peter had got himself in. And
-
today, I want you to understand the
-
voice of God is about to cancel out
-
every doubt that's ever been in your
-
mind
-
>> because we need to hear mercy again in
-
the church.
-
MERCY. YES, HOLINESS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO
-
HEAR MERCY TO GET US to a point where we
-
live for the Lord. Holiness is not IS
-
NOT SOMETHING WE do out of rules and
-
regulations. Holiness is something we do
-
out of a heart that has received the
-
mercy of God. It is a cheerful thing in
-
our life to give him the holiness part.
-
We need to hear mercy again because I'll
-
be honest, there's peace and safety in
-
hearing a trusted voice.
-
Anybody's ever been flying before and it
-
gets kind of turbulent and gets a little
-
shaky, gets a little scary. And again,
-
you realize that there's nothing but
-
maybe a few layers of thin metal between
-
you and a 30 30,000 plus drop fall.
-
Can I get a witness? I don't know how
-
many seats they've had to replace, but
-
my honey has chewed up a few of them in
-
airplanes. Can I get a witness? It makes
-
me nervous. But I tell you one thing
-
that makes it okay is when you realize
-
that there are two people up in the
-
cockpit that they want to get home to
-
their family just as bad as you do. And
-
then you're hitting all these bumps and
-
it's starting to jive around. It's going
-
crazy. And you hear the pilot come on
-
say, "Uh, ladies and gentlemen, we're
-
experiencing a little bit of turbulence.
-
We're going to find some clear air and
-
we're going to get in it, but we're
-
going to make it home just fine." And
-
you hear that that voice. One voice. One
-
time it was we were coming out of uh I
-
think it was leaving Atlanta and it was
-
late at night. night. It was one of the
-
last flights and um they told us that
-
the kid that was flying that night, it
-
was like his second flight.
-
Yeah. And and y that wasn't the worst
-
part. The worst part was, well, he
-
didn't do so good last time on the
-
landing, but we're going to give him a
-
chance to redeem himself tonight. And I
-
was like, the devil is a liar.
-
That joker can pick an empty plane. Can
-
I get a witness? Do your thing, baby.
-
But I remember and even beyond that,
-
like the next part scared me even worse.
-
He said, "Listen," I was talking to my
-
other guy. He said, "We found some clear
-
air from Atlanta down to Pensacola." But
-
he said, "I'm going I'm going to do it
-
like this right here. We're going to fly
-
this baby like we stole it."
-
I was like, "Whoa." I was like, "Bro, I
-
prefer to live and not die." Now, I'll
-
say this. Was it scary on the landing?
-
Oh, you better believe it. It definitely
-
was a rookie. Come on, somebody.
-
I was like, I'm pretty sure one of our
-
wings is like this. I don't know. We're
-
we're back and forth. Somehow we made
-
it. I'm still here. Praise God. But it
-
was okay knowing it was his first shot
-
or his in this case it was his second
-
shot. I guess the first plane made it
-
too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been on
-
the second plane. But anyways, but it
-
made me comfortable to know there was
-
another guy sitting there that have been
-
flying for 40 years.
-
So I knew if it got too MUCH FOR HIM TO
-
HANDLE, the other guy would say, "Hey
-
buddy, I got it from here." And a
-
trusted voice,
-
trusted hands
-
>> would take over and begin to navigate
-
that thing so that everybody made it to
-
the destination safely. Can I tell you,
-
there are times in our life where we
-
don't recognize the voice of God that he
-
is speaking to us because we're in delay
-
and we don't know what's going on. It
-
feels turbulent and all this stuff and
-
we're listening to EVERYBODY SCREAM
-
AROUND US. AH, WE'RE [screaming] GOING
-
TO DIE. HE'S NEVER GOING TO LAND THE
-
PLANE. IF YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN.
-
Come on, somebody. THERE ARE TIMES IN
-
OUR LIFE WE NEED A GOOD HOLY GHOST SHUT
-
UP and listen to the voice of God and
-
SAY, "I KNOW IT FEELS CRAZY RIGHT NOW,
-
BUT IF YOU'LL TRUST GOD IN SPITE OF WHAT
-
YOU FEEL, OH, HOW DO I KNOW THAT,
-
PASTOR? I DON'T WALK BY FEELINGS. I
-
DON'T WALK BY SIGHT. I WALK BY FAITH,
-
KNOWING THAT GOD'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
-
ME. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE ROOM THIS
-
MORNING THAT WOULD SAY, "I KNOW I'VE
-
BEEN THROUGH SOME TURBULENT AIR. I KNOW
-
I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME CRAZY THINGS IN
-
MY LIFE, BUT EVERY SINGLE TIME THE
-
CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP GETS ME SAFELY HOME,
-
HE'S BEEN WITH ME. HE'S WALKED WITH ME.
-
HE'S BEEN IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE. I DARE
-
YOU TO GIVE JESUS A CRAZY PRAISE IN THE
-
HOUSE." OH, COME ON. CAN WE GIVE OUR
-
MERCIFUL GOD A PRAISE?
-
My God.
-
and reminded me of this. There are many
-
times we have things competing for our
-
voice, for the for our ears and our
-
voices. And I took my mind back to when
-
I was a young kid. And I remember I had
-
the assignment of turning the antenna
-
until the TV worked.
-
Anybody ever had that assignment before?
-
All right. So, you know what I'm talking
-
about. You know, mom and dad sitting in
-
a living room, they're staring at a
-
fuzzy TV and they say, "Open that
-
sliding glass door. Go out there and
-
turn that thing." Our grandma and
-
grandpa does. Or, "Open a window."
-
window so I can Why do you open the
-
window so you can hear them? Cuz you
-
know what you got to do on the other
-
side. You grab a hold of that thing.
-
No, keep going.
-
And you turn it. Then you get you get
-
brave. You start TURNING IT FAST. WAIT,
-
WAIT, WAIT. GO BACK. GO BACK. ANYBODY
-
ever been there before
-
and you're turning it back and forth and
-
trying to figure out, all right, where
-
where's the signal going to go? Then
-
they got fancy and they had these rabbit
-
ears you put on top of your TV and you
-
had to like connect tinfoil between them
-
to make it work better. Come on. Anybody
-
ever been there before? You have to
-
twist them and turn them and do all this
-
kind of stuff. I remember those days.
-
And then every once in a while, you get
-
to that point, you turn that big old
-
antenna. You know, it's like 30 foot
-
tall in the backyard. You know, if a
-
storm came, you have a TV for like a
-
month. Come on. So, you're out there,
-
you twisting it. And then all of a
-
sudden, YOU HEAR, "WAIT, STOP RIGHT
-
THERE. IT'S PERFECT.
-
WHAT IS happening in that moment?"
-
Because believe it or not, even now,
-
there are wavelengths going over our
-
head all over the place. In here, there
-
are wireless signals going everywhere.
-
There are there is things competing for
-
the atmosphere all around us. Even back
-
then when we had an antenna, it wasn't
-
so much tuning into the right place. It
-
was trying to get all the other mess out
-
of the way
-
>> because it did not the other signals
-
from the other channels did not
-
disappear because I pointed the antenna
-
in the right place. No, no, no. I was
-
tuning into the right channel. But what
-
I was really doing on a more gradual, a
-
more uh major level is I was tuning out
-
every other voice. I didn't want to
-
distort what I wanted to see on that
-
television. Can I tell you that you've
-
got to get to the point in your life
-
that you tune out every other voice and
-
say, "There's one voice I'm listening
-
to." And if YOU GOT TO GET OUT THERE
-
WITH A BIG ANTENNA and turn it UNTIL YOU
-
HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD CLEARLY SAY, "THIS
-
IS THE WAY." WALK IN IT. THEN LET ME
-
TELL YOU SOMETHING, BABY. TURN IT. HOW
-
DO I TURN IT, PASTOR? YOU GET ON YOUR
-
KNEES AND YOU PRAY. YOU OPEN THE WORD OF
-
GOD AND SAY, "LORD, I'M GOING TO GO OLD
-
SCHOOL ON IT. I'M GOING TO GO ANALOG AND
-
I'M GOING TO TURN THIS ANTENNA UNTIL I
-
HEAR YOUR VOICE. I'M GOING TO TURN THIS
-
THING UNTIL I HEAR I AM BLESSED AND
-
HIGHLY FAVORED." I'M GOING TO TURN THIS
-
THING UNTIL I HEAR GOD SAY, "YOU CAN DO
-
ALL THINGS THROUGH ME WHO GIVES YOU
-
STRENGTH." IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE
-
THAT WOULD SAY, "I WANT TO HEAR THE
-
VOICE OF GOD."
-
Come on. I wish I HAD SOMEBODY PRAISE
-
GOD A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT RIGHT
-
THERE for the fact that we can tune in
-
to his VOICE AND TUNE EVERY OTHER VOICE
-
OUT AND SAY, "LORD, DO IN ME WHAT YOU
-
want to do."
-
Look at your neighbor. Say, "Tune in."
-
>> All right, that's pretty good. Try try
-
it one more time. Shout, "Tune in."
-
>> I want to tune in to his voice. I want
-
to tune into his heart. I want to tune
-
into what he's saying. Because if I
-
listen to the voice of the enemy, I will
-
end up forfeiting the blessing that God
-
has for me on the other side of my
-
obedience. But when I HEAR HIS VOICE
-
RIGHT, I'M GOING TO WANT TO DO WHAT HE
-
SAYS DO BECAUSE I'm going to trust that
-
HIS VOICE AND HIS PATH is going to get
-
me to the destination he has for my
-
life.
-
[snorts]
-
>> Look at somebody say, "Tune in."
-
>> Psalm 32 verse number eight says like
-
this. The Lord says, "I will guide you
-
along the best pathway for your life. I
-
will advise you and I will watch over
-
you. Proverbs 3:5 and 6 says, "Trust in
-
the Lord with all your heart and he
-
shall direct your paths." John 10:27,
-
"My sheep hear my voice. I know them and
-
they follow me." And can I tell you in
-
this house, no matter how far you've
-
gone, failed, or drifted, God is calling
-
you back today. Come on. How many say,
-
"I'm thankful he called me back."
-
[snorts] Oh, come on. One more time. Can
-
we give God praise for the fact that
-
he's calling me back? He's calling me
-
back. He's calling me higher. He's
-
calling me deeper. He's calling me
-
closer so I can hear his voice when he
-
says, "This is the way. Walk in it."
-
John 16:13 says, "When he, the Spirit of
-
truth, has come, he will guide you into
-
all truth." Can I tell you the Holy
-
Spirit does not merely speak over our
-
lives. The Holy Spirit sanctifies our
-
lives. He isn't calling you to defeat or
-
brokenness or lack or fear. He is
-
calling you to the way. Somebody say the
-
way. Woo. What is the way, pastor? The
-
way is the way of victory. Come on. V I
-
C T O R Y. Baby, come on. It's victory.
-
We got victory in the name of Jesus. He
-
is the way of redemption. He is the way
-
of triumph over evil. And I declare over
-
this house, we will triumph over every
-
evil agenda, over every evil spirit. We
-
will triumph over every tactic of the
-
enemy. Can I go and say it like this?
-
Your family will triumph over every evil
-
agenda. Your children will prosper. Your
-
family will be blessed. And come on,
-
somebody. I speak that over you and over
-
your life that you will triumph over
-
every tactic of the enemy that will try
-
to tear you down. Over every device of
-
the enemy. We're going to walk in the
-
way. But I'm going to say it like this.
-
We're going to walk unhindered in the
-
way. Can I get a witness? There's
-
nothing the enemy can do to stop what
-
God desires to do in our lives. Now, let
-
me get let me bring this baby down to a
-
close and into a landing. And when I say
-
that, we got a long way to go and a
-
short time to get there [snorts]
-
because I feel like God's going to do
-
something. So, I want my prayer team to
-
be ready to lay hands on some folks in
-
just a moment. Isaiah 30 verse 22. If we
-
can throw that up there. Thank you.
-
Amen. Then you will destroy all your
-
silver idols and your precious gold
-
images. You will throw them out like
-
filthy rags. Somebody say filthy rags.
-
>> Saying to them, "Good riddance."
-
Somebody say, "Good riddance."
-
>> My God. Can I tell you, if you and I are
-
going to walk unhindered, we must
-
release the sin and the weights that are
-
holding us back.
-
What are you talking about, pastor?
-
There are things in our life that are
-
sinful that we need to let go of.
-
Come on. This is this is where the
-
rubber's going to meet the road.
-
Obviously, deal with some sin, but we're
-
going to deal with some weight, too.
-
Weight doesn't necessarily mean sinful
-
things. It could mean good, but not God.
-
Hello.
-
You either in the will of God or you out
-
of the will of God. Can I get a witness
-
in the house?
-
>> All right. You say, "What about
-
permissive will?" Permissive will is
-
just a slippery a slippery slope to
-
being out of the will of God.
-
Come on, somebody
-
understand that there has to be a good
-
riddance in our spirit.
-
Meaning that we cannot play with sin and
-
we cannot play with weight that tries to
-
ensnare us and pull us away. We have to
-
deal with it.
-
Okay? So, I wanted to preach everybody
-
into a crazy frenzy today, but that's
-
not what the Lord wants me to do because
-
we're about to break some cycles in this
-
house.
-
We're about to break some chains. We can
-
break it through praise and we may
-
praise at the end of this thing, but I
-
want you to understand, it's got to take
-
intentional, direct opposition against
-
the enemy to break things off of your
-
life. You thought you were coming to
-
another church service, but you were
-
coming to the church service that's
-
going to change your life. And so, I'm
-
going to say this. Hebrews 12 verse
-
number one says, "Therefore we also
-
since we are surrounded by so great a
-
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
-
every weight and the sin which so easily
-
ins snares us and let us run with
-
endurance the race that is set before
-
us." So whatever is and has been holding
-
you back, watch this, must be released
-
from your grip. Somebody throw your
-
hands up and just let it go. Come on,
-
throw it. Let it go. Just like that.
-
Right there. Let it go. I'm not going to
-
let any kind of weight. I'm not gonna
-
let any kind of sin stop me from go
-
going after God. Because watch this.
-
When I release that weight and I release
-
that sin, it gives us and allows us to
-
have capacity to carry what God has for
-
us in the next season. If you're still
-
holding on to the last season, you
-
cannot carry what God has for you in the
-
next season. At some point, you got to
-
let it go and say, "God, here I am. I
-
embrace everything you have for me in
-
this next season." And the capacity is
-
this. That we walk in his perfect will
-
for this season that's coming inside of
-
our life. Somebody shout, "It ends
-
here."
-
>> Come on, shout it like you mean it. Say,
-
"It ends here."
-
>> I'm going to preach it like I feel it.
-
The sin that has been gripping your
-
life, it ends here today. Fear that's
-
been gripping your life ends here today.
-
Depression that's been over your mind,
-
it ends here today. ANXIETY THAT'S BEEN
-
OVER YOUR LIFE, it ends here today.
-
Poverty that's been chasing you down, it
-
ends here today. Hurt from the last
-
season, it ends here today. Brokenness,
-
it ends here today. Loneliness, it ends
-
here today. Lust, it ends here today.
-
PORNOGRAPHY ENDS HERE TODAY. ADULTERY
-
ENDS HERE TODAY. HOMOSEXUALITY ENDS HERE
-
TODAY. IDOLS ENDS HERE TODAY. DIVISION
-
ENDS HERE TODAY. GOSSIP ENDS HERE TODAY.
-
ADDICTION ENDS HERE TODAY. I DECLARE TO
-
YOU, EVERY CYCLE THAT'S COMING AGAINST
-
YOUR LIFE, IT ENDS TODAY. I WISH I HAD
-
SOME VOTE THAT WOULD GIVE GOD PRAISE. IF
-
IT'S ALREADY BEEN BROKEN, BUT IT'S GOING
-
TO BE BROKEN IN JESUS' NAME. I NEED THE
-
WHOLE CHURCH TO GIVE GOD A RADICAL
-
PRAISE THAT IT ENDS TODAY IN THIS
-
MOMENT. I'M NOT TAKING IT WITH ME OUT
-
THAT DOOR. IT'S STOPPING RIGHT HERE IN
-
JESUS' NAME.
-
It's stopping right here in Jesus name.
-
So I will say it like this today. It
-
ends here. It ends here. It ends here. I
-
got a beautiful chauffear. Jerry Paul,
-
come right up here with me. You handsome
-
devil. Come here. Come on. Don't y'all
-
love Jerry Paul and Brenda? Man,
-
he took over 40 They took over 40 people
-
out to the to the beach the other day to
-
look at dolphins. Come on. Yesterday we
-
look at dolphins and he's still
-
standing. Come on. I know you're tired.
-
It was hot out there. But I told him, I
-
said, "I want you to get ready to blow
-
that chauffear." Because what does that
-
chauffear mean? It means a lot of
-
things. But one thing it does mean is it
-
means victory over everything that has
-
come against your life. It means a
-
gathering of the people. It means
-
victory over every part of your life.
-
And so, let me go ahead and say this. We
-
have been in a prayer strategy in this
-
house since uh whatever it was. The July
-
or something. I don't remember what day
-
we released that. End of July, I think
-
it were, but end of June, maybe.
-
Anyways, I will get my days messed up
-
even if I try. But I'm going to say
-
this. We've been in this prayer strategy
-
for a while. And we've been asking God
-
to send revival to every state, to every
-
church, every apostle, every pastor,
-
every evangelist, every prophet, every
-
teacher, every one of them. We want them
-
to experience the power and the might of
-
God. Here's what I know that there are
-
pastors that have been receiving letters
-
from people in this house that have
-
brought encouragement to them. And then
-
they've turned around and said, "Now,
-
we're going to pray for Liberty Culture
-
that God would show up and do incredible
-
things." Can I tell you that I believe
-
we're about to see revival in this
-
nation? Some people say, "Well, God is
-
finished with this nation." Oh, no, no,
-
no. The devil is a liar. How do you KNOW
-
HE'S NOT FINISHED? BECAUSE I'm an
-
American baby and I'm breathing today.
-
And if he's NOT FINISHED WITH ME, HE'S
-
NOT FINISHED WITH THIS NATION YET. I
-
BELIEVE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ABOUT TO COME.
-
AND I BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE IT IN
-
THE NAME OF JESUS. DIVISION IN THIS
-
NATION, IT ENDS HERE. IDOLATRY IN THIS
-
NATION ENDS HERE. IDOLATRY IN THE PULL
-
PIT IS HERE NOW. LET'S BLOW IT. COME ON.
-
I WANT YOU TO SHOUT IT.
-
Come on.
-
Some shout.
-
Come on. GIVE ME SOME RADICAL CHURCH
-
FOLK THAT'LL JUMP TO YOUR FEET AND GIVE
-
GOD PRAISE FOR THE FACT IT'S CHANGING.
-
IT'S SHIFTING. COME ON. HE'S TURNING
-
AROUND FOR OUR GOOD AND FOR HIS GLORY.
-
[music]
-
And not only that, just remain standing.
-
Get my team up here real quick. I'm
-
almost done. Come here with me. Come
-
here with me. Here's what I believe.
-
We're going to shout it over our nation.
-
We going to shout it over our region.
-
>> We going to shout it over our church.
-
But then we're going to shout it over
-
every one of the families in this house.
-
Come on, look at your neighbor. Say,
-
"There's a blessing coming to your
-
family." that there's a there's a I feel
-
I feel radical praise in this house. I
-
feel like God's about to shift some
-
things and I need a church in the house
-
to recognize what God has done for you
-
and what God has done in this house is
-
not going to stop in this house. But
-
it's about to go to the far reaches of
-
this earth and what God is going to do.
-
He's going to do it quick. NOW, DO I
-
HAVE A CHURCH THAT would get EXCITED FOR
-
THE FACT IN our region God's going to do
-
something? In our church, God's going to
-
DO SOMETHING. BUT IN YOUR FAMILY, GOD'S
-
going to do something. SO WHEN HE BLOWS
-
THIS CHAUFFEAR, I WANT YOU TO GIVE HIM
-
THE MOST RADICAL PRAISE THAT YOU CAN
-
give him. NOT A HALFCOOK PRAISE, NOT
-
SOMETHING SOME LITTLE GOLF CLAP ON A
-
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT I AM LOOKING for a
-
church that will get radical WITH ME AND
-
SAY, "I BELIEVE THE BREAKTHROUGH we've
-
been asking GOD TO BRING US IS ON THE
-
OTHER SIDE OF OUR NEXT PRAISE." ARE YOU
-
READY TODAY? COME ON. LET'S DO A LITTLE
-
WARM UP. ARE YOU READY TO PRAISE HIM?
-
OH, come on. Oh, not yet. Not yet. Not
-
yet. I'm That's a warm-up. I want you to
-
do one more warm-up. IF YOU'RE READY FOR
-
GOD TO DO IT, LET A PRAISE OUT IN THE
-
HOUSE.
-
All right. Now, here's what I know. The
-
next praise we're going to give him for
-
is for victory over every region, for
-
victory over this church and every
-
territory God has called us to claim FOR
-
THE GLORY OF GOD. BUT HE'S ALSO GOING TO
-
GIVE US VICTORY IN YOUR HOME. HOW MANY
-
VICTORY in your home today? Come on.
-
Oh, come on. How many you need SOMEBODY
-
TO GET SAVED THAT'S PART OF YOUR FAMILY?
-
OH, come on. I don't have no radical
-
people. If you need somebody to BE SAVED
-
IN YOUR FAMILY, GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
-
RIGHT NOW.
-
Oh my God. I feel that in my spirit. ARE
-
YOU READY? ARE YOU READY? NOW, LIFT YOUR
-
HANDS TO HEAVEN. AND WHEN YOU HEAR THIS
-
CHAUFFAR BLAST, I dare you TO TURN OUT
-
AND GO CRAZY FOR GOD BECAUSE HE'S ABOUT
-
TO DO IT. YOU READY? 1 2 3.
-
Come on, somebody and give him praise.
-
Come on, MUSICIANS, GIVE HIM PRAISE.
-
COME ON. COME ON AND PRAISE HIM. [music]
-
COME ON AND GLORIFY HIM. HE'S WORTHY.
-
COME ON. BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING.
-
DELIVERANCE IS COMING. Healing is
-
coming. God is [music] doing it in Jesus
-
name.
-
Look at your neighbor and say it ends
-
here.
-
It ends in your family. It ends in YOUR
-
CHILDREN. [music]
-
IT ENDS HERE IN JESUS NAME. 1 2 3 give
-
him praise in the house.
-
Now just remain standing.
-
Thank you sir. I'm going to tell you
-
this. The king is in the room.
-
>> And the king is not just stay in this
-
room.
-
He is going with you to your house.
-
And he's about to shift some things in
-
your house. Come close me outside. He's
-
about to shift some things now. We're
-
about to go to work. We're about to go
-
to work. Look at your neighbor. Say, "It
-
ends here.
-
I want y'all to lock in with me for the
-
next 10 minutes. It can be 10 minutes
-
and we're about to see something radical
-
hit this house. 10 minutes.
-
And I believe God wants to do something
-
significant in your life. He wants to
-
tell you something. He didn't come here
-
by accident today. He came here by
-
purpose. Colossians 2 describes that we
-
are we find our redemption in Christ.
-
victory over the requirements that were
-
written down and triumph over every evil
-
spirit
-
to the tune. The word of God says it
-
like this. He disarmed principalities
-
and powers.
-
When the enemy comes against you, remind
-
him, you stupid joker, you don't even
-
have a gun.
-
>> Come on. That's how I read it when I
-
read it. He disarmed him. In other
-
words, whatever offensive weapon the
-
enemy had, he's not allowed to possess
-
it because Jesus took it away. Come on,
-
somebody.
-
And and
-
if we're not careful, we will tuck our
-
head and run away in fear based off of a
-
voice when the enemy has no power over
-
our life.
-
>> And so, family, I want y'all to get
-
ready to sing that last song y'all were
-
singing, that I'm taking back what the
-
enemy stole from me. And I declare this
-
over your heart and over your life today
-
that I want to declare eight steps over
-
your life to new beginnings.
-
That was my first message. Here's my
-
second message.
-
I cannot preach
-
blank ends here without bringing a
-
conclusion to whatever that blank is.
-
I can't let you walk out of here bound
-
by things in your mind and your spirit
-
when we can simply come to the Lord and
-
we can get freedom and we can be free
-
from every generational curse and every
-
generational cycle and we can walk out
-
of here not with just saying that was a
-
good church service. Thank God for how
-
the spirit of God moved all the way
-
throughout it. But today this is what he
-
has for you. You don't have to walk out
-
of here bound anymore. What about drugs
-
and alcohol and all that stuff? He can
-
break it just like that.
-
He can break it. But watch this. You got
-
to be number one willing to fully submit
-
to God.
-
James 4:7 says, "Therefore submit to
-
God. Resist the devil and he will flee
-
from you."
-
That's the first thing. Somebody shout,
-
"Submit."
-
>> Number two, you've got to claim the
-
power of the blood over your life.
-
Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of
-
blood, there is no remission. Remission
-
is a word that is used in the cancer
-
world, [music]
-
meaning that cancer has been dismissed
-
or sent away or retracting in their body
-
when it's in remission. When you claim
-
the incredible power of the blood of
-
Jesus, you experience victory. God looks
-
at you and because of the blood, he sees
-
no sin in you whatsoever. Your sin has
-
been dismissed, sent away, or been put
-
in remission by the blood of Jesus. And
-
the blood of Jesus is an unstoppable
-
weapon that places generational curses
-
producing sin in remission in our life.
-
So we've got to plead the blood. Look at
-
your neighbor say, "Plead the blood."
-
So we got to submit. We got to claim or
-
speak and plead the blood. Number three,
-
you've got to forgive your family.
-
You say, "Well, I've been carrying this
-
thing, and it seems like it's the same
-
thing that was in my my parents and my
-
grandparents, and I see the tendencies
-
of that sin trying to get in my life."
-
Listen, you got to forgive them and move
-
on. If you don't forgive them, they will
-
be a crutch, and that curse will follow
-
you and it will end up in your next
-
seed.
-
But you have a choice. You can break
-
that curse today. Come on, somebody. But
-
we got to forgive. Say, if I if you've
-
been dealing generational curses [music]
-
in your family, you must walk in
-
complete and total forgiveness.
-
Unforgiveness is toxic and will hinder
-
you from living in freedom and liberty
-
that you have you desperately need. Mark
-
11:25 says, "And whatever you say or
-
whatever you stand praying, if you have
-
anything against anyone, forgive him
-
that your father in heaven may also
-
forgive you your trespasses."
-
The question is always presented at this
-
moment. What if they don't want my
-
forgiveness or they don't care? I have a
-
secret to let you in on this morning.
-
The forgiveness is totally for them. But
-
they must choose to accept it and that
-
is their choice. But can I tell you when
-
you choose to forgive, it may not set
-
them free from that bondage, but it will
-
set you free from that bondage. Oh, come
-
on. How many thankful for the power of
-
forgiveness today?
-
So we got to submit. We got to plead the
-
blood. We got to forgive our family. And
-
then we got to confess your sin and the
-
sin that was present in the generations
-
before you. Leviticus 26. But if they
-
confess their iniquity and the iniquity
-
of their [music] fathers with their
-
unfaithfulness in which they were
-
unfaithful to me and that they also have
-
walked contrary to me, it says then I
-
will remember my covenant.
-
That's God's words. If I confess my
-
iniquities and the iniquities of my
-
fathers before me, he will remember his
-
covenant and confessing the iniquity of
-
those who have gone before me. We're
-
acknowledging that this has been a
-
stronghold in my family. This is
-
literally an act of faith. It's not
-
submission to the sin. It's an act of
-
faith. And when you do this, you're
-
declaring that the drawing and tendency
-
toward that sin that existed in your
-
family will not exist in you or the next
-
generation. It is broken in Jesus name.
-
Number five, use the powerful name of
-
Jesus. Somebody say, "Jesus."
-
Oh,
-
the Bible says, "And whatever you ask in
-
my name, that I will do, and the father
-
may be glor that the father may be
-
glorified in the son." If you ask
-
anything in my name, he said, "I will do
-
it." Ask in Jesus name. Ask for freedom.
-
Ask for deliverance. Total victory over
-
every generational curse. Nothing is
-
greater than the name of Jesus.
-
Philippians says that he's been given a
-
name that is above every [music] name.
-
Somebody shout Jesus.
-
>> When the enemy comes against you or
-
presents himself to your life, you need
-
to start dropping the name of Jesus.
-
Cancer comes, I know the most powerful
-
name that's ever lived. Jesus. Come on.
-
If divorce tries to scream over your
-
family, say, "Wait a second. I know the
-
most powerful name. It's Jesus." And you
-
speak the name of Jesus. And then number
-
six [snorts] and number seven and eight
-
I'll get to after this one. But number
-
six literally quite literally break the
-
curse by faith off of those of you off
-
of your life and those who will come
-
after you.
-
You break the curse by faith off of you
-
and those that will come after you.
-
Now these [music] are not just notes for
-
you to go back and take care of later.
-
Although that is beautiful. But in just
-
a moment, we're going to make a
-
confession in this house
-
and you and I are going to walk out of
-
here free in Jesus name. This is the
-
interactive part of the message. I
-
wanted this part to be where people are
-
jumping over chairs and swinging from
-
the balcony and all that stuff. [music]
-
I wanted to get crazy,
-
but I felt the Holy Spirit arrest this
-
moment and say, "No, I've called you to
-
do this work today because there's
-
somebody in the room that needs
-
generational curses and cycles broken
-
off of their life
-
because today it ends here.
-
It ends here." And so this prayer that I
-
pinn I pinned down,
-
we're going to declare it together.
-
But before we declare it, I want every
-
head bowed, every eye closed.
-
Proverbs 18:21 says, "The power of death
-
and life. It's in your tongue.
-
Those that love it will eat its fruit."
-
And today, we're going to speak in faith
-
and declare the power of every
-
generational curse or cycle is broken
-
off of your family. You say, "Pastor,
-
I'm in this place and I I don't know
-
Jesus. You preached about this Jesus,
-
and I want to make sure my life is right
-
with the Lord before I leave this place.
-
I'm going to lend this moment for you to
-
respond because you're going to come
-
down with everybody else. You're not
-
going to come down by yourself. [music]
-
But you say, "Pastor, I don't know the
-
Lord, but I want to make my life right
-
with him today. I want to serve Jesus. I
-
[music] want to know this Christ that
-
you're preaching about. The one who paid
-
it all." I want you to slip your hand up
-
and say, "Pastor, when you pray today,
-
please pray for me. I want to make my
-
life right. I want to make sure I'm
-
right with God. I want to make sure
-
there's no sin, no nothing separating me
-
from the Lord." Amen. Amen. Thank you.
-
Thank you for that hand. Praise God.
-
Praise God. The Lord is doing it. Amen.
-
Amen. Anybody else? Just real quick.
-
Say, "Well, I want to make my life
-
right." Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. God
-
is doing this. God's doing it. I want
-
everybody [music] to look up at pastor
-
for just a second. There are plenty that
-
raise their hand, but in this house,
-
this is going to be an interactive
-
moment for our entire church, Liberty
-
Culture Church, right here, right now.
-
is going to cause I'm calling for 100%
-
participation in this next moment
-
[music] because this prayer may not be
-
just for you. The prayer and the way you
-
pray it may be the confidence the person
-
standing beside you in the altar may
-
need to get free.
-
>> We are a family. Look at your neighbor
-
say we're family.
-
>> We're family today and today we're about
-
to break every generational curse. So
-
I'm going to ask everybody in the room
-
to come and join me around the altar.
-
You ready? One, two, three. Come on.
-
Come on. Everybody together as a family.
-
And I want my family to be ready to sing
-
this after we get through declaring
-
this. I've got two instructions after
-
this prayer [music]
-
and then we're going to tear off and
-
we're going to declare that. Okay? I
-
want you to be prepared. Come on. That's
-
it. Squeeze in so we can make sure we
-
have room. That's it. That's it. Come
-
on. That's it, family. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
The goodness of God is what draws people
-
to repentance.
-
And today I I pray that you felt the
-
goodness of God. Come on, that's it.
-
Squeeze in right here in the middle.
-
There you go. Right there. Come on. Come
-
on down. Make room for everybody coming.
-
They got to have some room. Have some
-
room.
-
Hallelujah. I want us together as a
-
family today.
-
No curse is going to follow me from this
-
moment forward.
-
No cycle.
-
And watch this. You can pray this prayer
-
and you can just say words
-
or you can pray this with a heart of
-
anticipation saying, "God, if there's
-
anything in me that has presented itself
-
as a cycle, a cyclical thing, let this
-
be the moment that that ends here.
-
>> It ends here today. It ends. And I'm not
-
going to let it go past this moment."
-
And so this prayer that I've
-
pinned down and written down, I want us
-
to pray this together
-
with a heart that really is approaching
-
God, knowing that we're called to submit
-
to him, speak the blood of Jesus,
-
forgive our family, confess the sins of
-
our fathers and oursel and use the
-
powerful name of Jesus. And now we're
-
about to break that cycle, not just for
-
me, but for my seed. And if the Lord
-
carries the next and the next and
-
whatever that looks like. All right, I'm
-
gonna go ahead and set the next
-
generation up for success and not
-
failure.
-
I'm gonna set them up by my confession
-
today and we're going to pray this
-
together. So you may you to get in
-
rhythm with me. It'll be on the screen
-
if we can put that first one up there.
-
I'll begin it and you guys just try to
-
stay in my rhythm the best way you can.
-
Put your hand on your heart and let's
-
[music] pray this together. I confess
-
and acknowledge my sin and the sin of
-
those who have gone before me. Their
-
bondage shall not be mine, nor shall it
-
be the generations that will come after
-
me. In the name of Jesus, [music] I
-
break every generational curse off my
-
family and me. Generational health
-
problems, heart disease, cancer,
-
diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma,
-
arthritis, ulcers, breathing problems,
-
blood disorders, bone degeneration. All
-
hereditary sickness is broken in Jesus'
-
name. Eating disorders, overeating,
-
anorexia, bulimia, or any type of eating
-
that would destroy my or harm our bodies
-
is destroyed. Alcoholism, addiction, and
-
all sexual immorality is broken from my
-
family line. Divorce, unforgiveness,
-
addictions, depression, sorrow, gossip,
-
worry, peer pressure, greed, bitterness,
-
anger, temper, unworthiness, wounds,
-
frustration, greed, compromise, smoking,
-
and poverty. I declare all these broken
-
in the name of Jesus. And by his shed
-
blood, my family and I will walk in
-
freedom and power, liberated from every
-
generational curse for the glory of God
-
in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Can we give
-
God praise in the house?
-
Come on. Can we give God praise in the
-
house that everything is broken,
-
every addiction is broken, [music] it
-
ends here today.
-
It ends here today.
-
And here's what you need to know.
-
If it ends here today, when I walk out
-
the room, it's not going with me.
-
That altar you're standing at, [snorts]
-
it is literally a place of exchange in
-
the word of God.
-
>> So, you have taken the generational
-
cycles that the enemy's tried to pin to
-
your life and you've laid them down.
-
Now, what are we going to do? We're
-
gonna pick up what God has for us. How
-
do you do that? You got to raise your
-
hands and begin to worship him right
-
now. He wants to give it to you. Come
-
on. Come on. I'm taking back everything
-
the enemy stole from me. Come on. My
-
peace of mind, I'm picking it up today.
-
My strength, I'm picking it up today. My
-
calling, I'm picking it up today. Come
-
on. The strength that I need, I'm
-
picking it up today. My blessing, I'm
-
picking it up today. The enemy thought
-
he had me, but I'm picking up every
-
blessing. Oh my God. And the enemy
-
cannot stop what God desires to do in
-
and through my life. So today, [music]
-
Lord, we commit oursself to changing our
-
behavior. We commit to not letting
-
[music] the strongholds get in our
-
minds. Satanic strongholds are broken.
-
God, we're not going to corrupt oursel
-
with company that doesn't pursue you.
-
We're going to pursue you with
-
everything we've got. And when we change
-
our habits, our life will change. And
-
God, I declare [music] that we will
-
rejoice every day knowing that you are
-
faithful. We confess blessing. Somebody
-
say, "I confess blessing. I confess
-
victory. I confess joy over my family
-
and over my heritage in [music] the
-
mighty name of Jesus." Now, can we raise
-
our hands and begin to give him praise?
-
Begin to give [music] him glory. Begin
-
to give him honor.
