  1. Praise God. Now, I want you to grab your

  2. Bibles. [music] Go with me to Isaiah

  3. chapter number 30, verse number 21 and

  4. 22. Uh we will read those two verses out

  5. of the New King James Version. And then

  6. I've got one translation I want to shift

  7. into for verse number 22. Um but when

  8. you get there, say, "I got it." All

  9. right, that sounded about like 30%. So,

  10. we'll give it just a moment. But I feel

  11. like today somebody is walking out of

  12. this house free in Jesus name. and

  13. you're going to be part of that. So look

  14. at your neighbor, say, "You walking out

  15. free today. You walking out free." And

  16. and here's how I feel about it. If it

  17. was up to me, I don't care if you want

  18. to walk out free, you getting free in

  19. Jesus name. Um so here's what I know. If

  20. nobody else walks out free, I'm walking

  21. out free today. I'm going to walk out

  22. free. Isaiah 30 [music] 21. When you get

  23. there, say, "I got it." All right.

  24. Here's what the word of God says. Your

  25. ears shall hear a word behind you

  26. saying, "This is the way. walk in it.

  27. Somebody say, "Walk [music] in it."

  28. >> He said, "Whenever you turn uh to the

  29. right hand or when whenever you turn to

  30. the left," he said, "you will also in

  31. verse 22 defile the covering of your

  32. images of silver and the ornament of

  33. your molded images of gold." He said,

  34. "You will throw them away as an unclean

  35. thing, and you will say to them, get

  36. away." Somebody shout, "Get away."

  37. >> Get away.

  38. >> Now, I love that. But I really like how

  39. the New Living Translation says it.

  40. Verse 22. You can follow along in the

  41. screen. Maybe you have that version. You

  42. can do that with your with your handheld

  43. Bible or maybe your digital Bible,

  44. whatever it looks like. But it says

  45. this, "Then you will destroy all your

  46. silver idols and your precious golden

  47. images. [music] You will throw them out

  48. like filthy rags." Come on, that

  49. preaches a little better than unclean

  50. thing. Come on, them filthy rags.

  51. [music] But he says saying to them,

  52. "Good riddance."

  53. Somebody shout, "Good riddance."

  54. >> I feel this in my spirit today. And this

  55. this is a different type of title for

  56. me. So you have to follow along with me.

  57. Uh I feel like today some things are

  58. going to end. Things are going to stop

  59. today in you and your family and your

  60. family line. And beyond the shadow of a

  61. doubt, I feel like I'm directly on

  62. assignment today. So here's my title.

  63. blank space ends here.

  64. Somebody say blank

  65. >> ends here.

  66. >> And so you can fill in the blank

  67. wherever that leads and has been part of

  68. your life. [music] But I believe today

  69. whatever that is in Jesus name is going

  70. to end here. How many with me today?

  71. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for

  72. your word. We thank you for your

  73. blessings. Help me Holy Spirit. [music]

  74. In Jesus name we pray. And everybody

  75. says amen. Amen. you may be seated in

  76. the presence of the Lord today. Today

  77. things are going to end. I I have to

  78. digress a little bit and give you a a

  79. touch of historical context on where we

  80. are. Uh because the chapter 30 of Isaiah

  81. is a very incredible chapter. If you go

  82. back and read this later on, uh you can

  83. see the dance that the children of Judah

  84. were doing before God and how that they

  85. were uh they they had an assignment.

  86. They had a call. They'd seen God do

  87. incredible things, but then they were up

  88. against the enemy that honestly they

  89. didn't know what to do with that enemy.

  90. And so the context is Judah faces a a

  91. terrifying threat and the threat is

  92. Assyria. uh when you read scripture and

  93. you understand the totality and where

  94. this lands and uh who Assyria was during

  95. that time, they were a major uh military

  96. power in the area, they were a major

  97. political power and they had great

  98. economic resources as well. So literally

  99. anything they wanted to do with their

  100. own strength, they could have done. And

  101. this is where Judah was. Judah was in a

  102. spot to where they knew what God said,

  103. but uh if if we're being honest, God

  104. didn't answer when they wanted him to

  105. answer.

  106. Some of you are already hearing with

  107. spirit ears today. I if we're honest

  108. today, we understand there are times

  109. when we ask God to do something, but God

  110. doesn't do it on our timeline. Then we

  111. question whether God really is who he

  112. says he is.

  113. >> Oh, come on now. I'm I'm going to preach

  114. here in a minute. This I'm just laying a

  115. little bit of groundwork. But the fact

  116. is they they had powers that surpassed

  117. those of Judah. And because of that,

  118. Judah was looking through flesh eyes

  119. rather than looking through the voice of

  120. God that had already spoke in their

  121. life. So instead of depending on God,

  122. Judah's leaders sought military and

  123. economic protection not from God, but

  124. from Egypt.

  125. You read the scripture and you can see

  126. where they went. They ended up in a

  127. place where they they they were not

  128. depending upon God, but they were

  129. depending upon worldly sources to be

  130. able to bring them through a SPIRITUAL

  131. BATTLE. IF YOU EVER face a spiritual

  132. battle in a carnal mindset, you are

  133. already defeated from the beginning.

  134. Because here's the position you and I

  135. hold. We are spiritual beings. WE DO NOT

  136. FIGHT AGAINST flesh and blood. Can I get

  137. a witness in the house? Go back to

  138. Ephesians. Talk to me, Paul. When we

  139. understand we don't fight against flesh

  140. and blood, but against principalities

  141. and powers, rulers of darkness,

  142. PRINCIPALITY, ALL THESE THINGS,

  143. SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. SO

  144. THAT MEANS I DON'T FIGHT FROM HERE. I

  145. fight from the heavenly place. Can I get

  146. a witness in the house? The first thing

  147. the enemy wants you to do is get out of

  148. position. You need to understand our

  149. position to fight is in the heavenlies.

  150. Our position is not to fight from Egypt,

  151. not to fight from a carnal mindset. And

  152. this is where Judah found themselves.

  153. Rather than embracing who God had

  154. already called them to be and destined

  155. them to be, they said, "I know a better

  156. way because I see it WITH MY EYES." BUT

  157. REALLY, ALL God was waiting on them to

  158. do was say, "If you JUST LOOK UP, I'VE

  159. GOT GREATER POWER THAN ANYTHING THE

  160. enemy has against your life." Can I

  161. encourage somebody today? You've got a

  162. report. This past week, the enemy SPOKE

  163. INTO YOUR LIFE AND THE ENEMY SAID THINGS

  164. AND NOW YOU'RE looking for every

  165. resource the world has to offer. When

  166. God IS SAYING, "I'M RIGHT HERE AND I'VE

  167. GOT EVERY answer you have." COME ON. HOW

  168. MANY KNOW IT'S TRUE THAT GOD WILL TAKE

  169. CARE of you in your dark? Come on. I

  170. wish I had a little help right here at

  171. the beginning of the message. I KNOW I

  172. GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT IS THERE

  173. ANYBODY THAT SAY, "I'VE SEEN GOD BE

  174. FAITHFUL WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE HAS FALLEN

  175. APART. I'VE SEEN GOD COME THROUGH WHEN

  176. IT LOOKED IMP. SEEN GOD SHOW UP WHEN

  177. EVERYBODY ELSE AROUND ME left me.

  178. >> Look at your neighbor and say, "He's a

  179. trustworthy God."

  180. >> But if you go back to the very beginning

  181. of chapter 30, you see what they said.

  182. This is a synopsis of it. It's not the

  183. complete two verses, but I pinned this,

  184. wrote this in here. This is what was

  185. said of the children of Israel or the

  186. children of Judah. He said, "Woe to the

  187. children or to the rebellious children,

  188. says the Lord, WHO TAKE COUNSEL BUT NOT

  189. of me." He said this in verse third or

  190. verse number two. Who walked to go down

  191. to Egypt but have not asked for my

  192. advice. They are looking everywhere but

  193. where they should have looked for the

  194. answer. Judah took counsel but not from

  195. God. THEY WENT DOWN TO EGYPT WITHOUT

  196. even asking FOR GOD'S ADVICE OR WATCH

  197. this even asking for God's permission.

  198. And the core problem showed up WHENEVER

  199. THEY GOT TO EGYPT because Judah moved

  200. without consulting God. It led to a

  201. nation that followed this kind of path.

  202. They made plans without prayer.

  203. Hello somebody. THEY HAD STRATEGY

  204. WITHOUT surrender to God's presence.

  205. THEY SOUGHT COUNSEL WITHOUT CONSULTATION

  206. with the father in heaven. They had

  207. movement but they had no divine

  208. direction. Come on somebody. The truth

  209. is Judah had witnessed God's

  210. intervention before and God's hand

  211. before. But now, WATCH THIS. JUDAH FACED

  212. A DELAYED ANSWER. And in this season, I

  213. want you to understand delay is

  214. difficult.

  215. >> I'm not here to tell you that because

  216. you feel a little antsy because God

  217. ain't answered yet means that you're not

  218. a Christian. That's not true. That means

  219. you're human.

  220. >> Can I Can I get some help in the room?

  221. >> You say, "Well, I'm so spiritual. If God

  222. delays, I just sit there." Well, good

  223. for you.

  224. Those of us who are real people saying,

  225. "Well, wonder where God's going to

  226. answer." Come on. I GOD, WHERE WHERE YOU

  227. AT? I I KNOW YOU I KNOW YOU LOVE ME. I

  228. know I SEEN YOUR WORD. I TRUST YOU. BUT

  229. THERE'S SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF ME

  230. THAT'S SAYING, "DO I NEED TO make a

  231. move? DO I NEED TO DO THIS?" BUT REALLY,

  232. GOD HAS CALLED US BACK TO A PLACE OF

  233. TRUST IN HIM.

  234. >> DELAY, watch this, is not something to

  235. SET YOU UP FOR FAILURE. Delay is to get

  236. you ready to carry the weight for the

  237. next season that God has for you.

  238. Because you know it's true. If you say,

  239. "God, I need a million dollars." If God

  240. gave you a million million dollars right

  241. now, by the end of the month, it will be

  242. gone.

  243. >> Hello.

  244. BECAUSE WATCH THIS, THE DELAY IS

  245. TEACHING YOU IN THAT MOMENT THAT YOU may

  246. need to RESTRUCTURE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. SO

  247. WHEN GOD DOES GIVE YOU THE BLESSING,

  248. WATCH THIS, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY and the

  249. capacity and the bandwidth to handle the

  250. blessing.

  251. >> Come on. I want I I want I want it all,

  252. God. But God, prepare me for what you

  253. have for me so I don't fall or am

  254. crushed under the weight of the blessing

  255. that you want to give my life.

  256. >> Cuz that means I've skipped the process

  257. to get to the blessing when God is the

  258. blesser and he wants us to go through

  259. the process to understand who he is in

  260. our life. Meaning that if I have little,

  261. guess what? He's still good.

  262. >> If I'm in the negative, guess what? He's

  263. still good. If I have more than enough

  264. and I can bless other people, HE'S STILL

  265. GOOD. AND THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THOSE

  266. SCENARIOS, I still could NOT PROVIDE FOR

  267. MYSELF, THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT

  268. EVERYTHING THAT I have in my life points

  269. me back to one person, AND THAT IS GOD

  270. IS MY SOURCE. IF I EVER GET TO THE PLACE

  271. TO SAY, look what I've done, THEN I'VE

  272. ALLOWED PRIDE TO GET IN MY LIFE, AND

  273. I'LL BE LIKE THESE, THE Judah people

  274. right here in the scripture, and I will

  275. run to the answer everywhere I can get

  276. it because IF I PRODUCE BEFORE, I GOT TO

  277. BE ABLE TO PRODUCE AGAIN. But I think

  278. it's time the people of God got to the

  279. point that we realize we are not the

  280. source. He is the source. And if I'm

  281. going to see HIM BLESS MY LIFE, I GOT TO

  282. CHOOSE TO TRUST HIM. CAN I GET A WITNESS

  283. IN THE HOUSE? HOW MANY SAY, "I'VE

  284. TRUSTED HIM AND HE'S BEEN FAITHFUL. I'VE

  285. TRUSTED HIM AND HE'S TAKEN CARE OF ME.

  286. I'VE TRUSTED HIM AND HE HAS WALKED WITH

  287. me every step of the way."

  288. So the fact is delay doesn't mean you

  289. did something wrong. It probably means

  290. God's preparing you for something

  291. greater on the other side. And so you

  292. have to lean into that and say, "God,

  293. all right, if I'm going to be delayed,

  294. what you trying to teach me?

  295. >> What you trying to teach me?" Have you

  296. ever known that you were called to wait

  297. in a season and you knew you were called

  298. to trust God's process, but even in that

  299. waiting, you still stepped out on the

  300. grace of God and went to Egypt or the

  301. world for the answer.

  302. Even though God had always come through

  303. before and we've seen him be faithful, I

  304. want you to know we've all stepped

  305. outside of God's grace at some point of

  306. our lives and we've took matters into

  307. our own hands. What do you mean, pastor?

  308. We've took our family into our own

  309. hands. Our marriage, we've tried to fix

  310. it on our own, without leaning on God.

  311. We've tried to fix our children on our

  312. own without leaning on the Lord and

  313. trusting his process. We've tried to fix

  314. those as a student going back toward the

  315. parents. We tried to fix our parents

  316. without trusting God. We've tried to fix

  317. our finances. Can I get a witness? We

  318. tried to fix our health. We've tried to

  319. fix our career and our calling without

  320. leaning on God. And if we're honest, we

  321. usually when we take it into our own

  322. hands, what do we do? We make a mess out

  323. of it. Can I get a witness? Our way

  324. never ends up as good or never ends up

  325. good for us. And it leads to us making a

  326. mess out of our lives. Isaiah 30 and

  327. verse number nine describes them, the

  328. children of Judah, in this moment as

  329. stubborn rebels who refuse to pay

  330. attention to the Lord's instructions. I

  331. don't know about you, but when God

  332. writes about me, I don't want him to

  333. write and say, "He was a stubborn,

  334. rebellious child." Come on. I want him

  335. to write back and say, "This was one

  336. that followed the word. This is one that

  337. followed my call. This is one that

  338. followed my path no matter what the cost

  339. was."

  340. >> Cuz watch this. I know this. The the

  341. Judah, they desired to trust God. They

  342. had a desire to trust God because they

  343. seemed to it before, but they felt time

  344. was closing in.

  345. God called them to trust and even warned

  346. them against rebellion. If you go back

  347. and read chapter 30 all the way through,

  348. but they decided to do things their way.

  349. Do you know anybody in your section?

  350. Don't point at them. That has tried to

  351. do it their way. Maybe you need to go

  352. ahead and elbow your neighbor. Say,

  353. "He's talking about you." Come on, just

  354. be honest. He's talking about you this

  355. morning. You know, everybody in the room

  356. at some point or another, you have tried

  357. I got people pointing themselves. We

  358. have tried to do it our way. WE'VE TRIED

  359. IT OUR WAY AND AND WATCH THIS. IT HAS

  360. FAILED EVERY SINGLE TIME. CAN I BE REAL?

  361. I'VE TRIED IT MY WAY AND IT NEVER TURNS

  362. OUT GOOD.

  363. >> You say, "Well, pastor, you're supposed

  364. to be perfect." No, I'm just supposed to

  365. live for the Lord and then I tell you

  366. all my mistakes so you don't make your

  367. mistakes.

  368. >> Hello.

  369. I tried to figure it out myself. There

  370. have been times I've tried to preach

  371. under my own knowledge.

  372. Come on. It don't work.

  373. Sitting there thinking, "Oh, this is

  374. going to be the greatest message in the

  375. world." And it felt like I was dragging

  376. a dump truck uphill the entire time I

  377. was preaching

  378. because I knew I was trying to preach

  379. out of this rather than preach out of

  380. what god deposited in my spirit. But

  381. today, I know I'm preaching out of what

  382. he deposited in my spirit because I see

  383. people already getting free in the house

  384. today. Some of you say, "I know I've

  385. been in a delay process." Trust him in

  386. the delay and KNOW THAT HE'S GOING TO

  387. MAKE it all right.

  388. >> When we try it our way, we make a mess

  389. of it. Watch this. Delay doesn't mean

  390. denial. So, I'll say it like this. Don't

  391. force things out of frustration. Trust

  392. God's process.

  393. Trust God. WELL, I THOUGHT I'D BE

  394. FURTHER along than I am right now. Well,

  395. that's the problem. Don't think

  396. Amen.

  397. >> It's true. Don't think about it. Don't

  398. Don't put yourself in a spot where I've

  399. got to get myself TO A CERTAIN PLACE.

  400. NO. TRUST THE PROCESS AND TRUST THE

  401. AUTHOR OF THE process as well.

  402. >> Amen.

  403. >> Because watch this. They went from

  404. refusing to pay attention to God's call

  405. and going down to Egypt. Now, watch what

  406. that translated into. They got their

  407. help from Egypt. Now, they don't need

  408. God. So, what do they do? They be they

  409. began to be rebellious in their words

  410. and actions. And if you go back to

  411. Isaiah 30 and verse number 10 and 11,

  412. here's what they said to they told the

  413. seers, "Stop seeing visions." They told

  414. the prophets, "Don't tell us what is

  415. right. Tell us nice things. Tell us

  416. lies." They demanded, "Forget all this

  417. gloom. Get off your narrow path and stop

  418. telling us about your holy one of

  419. Israel." Can you see the def the defeat

  420. or the the degression of the people of

  421. God in this moment? They knew God could

  422. do it, but they tried to do it their

  423. way. AND WHEN THEY GOT THE answer they

  424. were looking for, said, "I don't even

  425. want to hear the voice of God anymore

  426. because I feel convicted about WHAT I'VE

  427. DONE." I think we need to get some

  428. conviction back in the house of God

  429. again to the point we realize we cannot

  430. live any way we want to live and be

  431. right WITH THE HOLY GOD. I KNOW THIS IS

  432. THROWBACK OLD SCHOOL PREACHING, BUT WE

  433. GOT to live right according to the WORD

  434. OF GOD TO WALK IN THE blessing of God.

  435. COME ON. DO I HAVE ANY HOLINESS FOLK IN

  436. THE HOUSE TODAY THAT WOULD SAY IT'S NOT

  437. ABOUT THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR OR THE

  438. LENGTH OF MY DRESS, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE

  439. POSTURE OF MY HEART TODAY. AND IF I WANT

  440. TO SERVE GOD, I GOT TO SERVE HIM WITH MY

  441. WHOLE HEART, MY WHOLE MIND, MY WHOLE

  442. STRENGTH. EVERY PART OF MY LIFE HAS TO

  443. MATCH UP WITH THE WORD IF I WANT TO BE

  444. IN RIGHT STANDING with him.

  445. >> And so in that I say, preach conviction,

  446. pastor, because I need it to line UP

  447. WITH THE WORD OF GOD. BUT CAN YOU SEE

  448. THE FALL THE FALL BACK OF THIS

  449. GENERATION of Judah? THEY WERE SAYING WE

  450. DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS VOICES. THEY

  451. WERE BASICALLY SAYING THEY did not they

  452. WANTED THE VOICE AND THE ECHOES OF GOD'S

  453. VOICE TO BE SILENCED in their life so

  454. they could pursue their own desires

  455. regardless of the consequences. Watch

  456. this. They solidified their decision

  457. even after multiple warnings choosing

  458. help from Egypt and saying we don't want

  459. to HEAR GOD'S VOICE AND WE DON'T WANT TO

  460. HEAR THE PROPHETS OR the seers. Don't

  461. let conviction come to my heart cuz I

  462. don't WANT TO FEEL BAD ABOUT WHAT

  463. decision I made. Now watch this. That

  464. decision made their decision to trust

  465. God separated them from God. Their

  466. impatience left them with v virtually no

  467. hope inside of their life and they

  468. became vulnerable to the attack of the

  469. enemy. AND BECAUSE OF ALL THIS, WATCH

  470. THIS, they embraced generational cycles

  471. of disobedience.

  472. If you go back and read the Old

  473. Testament, you know how it is. Children

  474. of Israel, they did right in the sight

  475. of the Lord. And the next group that

  476. came in, they did what was wrong in the

  477. sight of the Lord. Go back and read the

  478. book of Judges. Dude, it's like a roller

  479. coaster of emotions up in that thing.

  480. You want to feel good one day, you

  481. better go back in there. You better pick

  482. out the good chapters.

  483. If you want to feel bad, go back and

  484. read the bad chapters. Know what the

  485. pitfalls are that you need to avoid. But

  486. can I tell you in that moment I want you

  487. to understand the children of Judah in

  488. this moment they chose to embrace the

  489. cycles and the the the the curses of

  490. disobedience that are on their life. And

  491. watch this. I want you to hear my heart

  492. today. There are many people that sit

  493. inside the church that have chosen

  494. rather than to trust God. They've

  495. stepped outside the grace of God. And

  496. now they've fallen prey to the same

  497. generational cycle that their father and

  498. their grandfather and their

  499. great-grandfather had established years

  500. before and generations before. AND

  501. WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT, YOU LOOK BACK

  502. and you say, "Well, that's just how they

  503. are."

  504. Come on. You You've seen people say that

  505. before. They'll see somebody do

  506. something like, "Oh, that's that's

  507. that's just the Joneses."

  508. Come on. They angry about everything.

  509. Come on, somebody. They they've always

  510. had had had just anger problems. Well,

  511. that that's just the the stewards, man.

  512. They they they've been they've been

  513. drunkers for their entire life, and now

  514. Lucas done got the got the youngest one.

  515. Come on. A sin, an iniquity that started

  516. in a generation before them has been

  517. passed down. And the lie that has went

  518. along with it is you have to stay that

  519. way. Come. Can I can I preach for just a

  520. second? The generational curse is going

  521. to try to attach itself to your life.

  522. BUT WHEN THE LIE COMES WITH THAT

  523. generational curse and you believe the

  524. lie, you give into the curse and you

  525. say, "Well, this is all my life is ever

  526. going to be." But I've come to let you

  527. know in this house this morning that

  528. there is a blood that was coming down

  529. from my savior down the cross and

  530. dripped onto the ground. And let me tell

  531. you, oh precious is the flow. Oh, come

  532. on. THAT WASHES ME WHITE AS SNOW.

  533. THERE'S STILL POWER IN THE BLOOD. WHAT

  534. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TODAY? ALL IT

  535. TAKES IS ONE DROP of the blood OF JESUS

  536. TO WASH AWAY EVERY INIQUITY, TO WASH

  537. AWAY EVERY CYCLE, TO WASH AWAY EVERY

  538. CURSE. AND I WANT TO KNOW, IS THERE

  539. ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE THAT'LL GIVE GOD

  540. PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD OF HIS SON THAT

  541. WASHED AWAY EVERY SIN? THAT WASHED AWAY

  542. EVERY CURSE, THAT WASHED AWAY EVERY

  543. STAIN? I'M THANKFUL CUZ IF IT WASN'T FOR

  544. THE BLOOD, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.

  545. BUT I'M THANKFUL TODAY. THE CURSE ENDS

  546. HERE BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD. SOMEBODY GIVE

  547. HIM PRAISE FOR THE blood today.

  548. [cheering]

  549. THE BLOOD STILL HAS power

  550. to break every curse off of our life. So

  551. watch this. We aren't called to embrace

  552. generational cycles. We are called to

  553. break them in Jesus name. Oh man, you

  554. better look at your neighbor and say,

  555. "Hey, I got good news for you,

  556. neighbor."

  557. All right, you you listen. I'm Let me

  558. just go ahead and fix this. I love all

  559. y'all, but y'all sound like a

  560. Presbyterian church this morning.

  561. I need a Pentecostal church. You need to

  562. look at your neighbor and say, "Hey,

  563. neighbor."

  564. >> That was closer. Now we getting there.

  565. You might be might be trinitarian, but

  566. it's all right. Look at him and say,

  567. "Hey, listen." Say, "Hey, neighbor."

  568. >> There we go. LOOK, I SAY, "I GOT GOOD

  569. NEWS FOR YOU.

  570. >> The curse

  571. >> ends here." Oh, come on. I dare you to

  572. give God praise for the fact the curse

  573. ends here. Come on. I What? Can we TAKE

  574. 15 SECONDS RIGHT now and jump to our

  575. FEET AND GIVE JESUS PRAISE THAT THE

  576. CURSE ENDS HERE? WE GOT TO PRAISE HIM

  577. FOR IT BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENS. I got to

  578. praise him before I EVER SEE IT. I GOT

  579. TO PRAISE HIM FOR EVERY PART OF IT. CUZ

  580. I BELIEVE THE CURSE ENDS TODAY IN THIS

  581. HOUSE.

  582. I refuse to let the lie that the enemy

  583. has spoken over my life come. And I will

  584. repent. I will submit. I will plead the

  585. blood. I will confess. And then we're

  586. going to break it today in Jesus name.

  587. And I want to say this. Instead of

  588. leaving the Lord out of your life, let's

  589. try a different cycle today. Instead of

  590. having plans before prayer, how about we

  591. pray before we make plans?

  592. >> Oh, come on. How about we surrender

  593. before we MAKE A STRATEGY? HOW ABOUT WE

  594. SEEK DIVINE direction before we have any

  595. kind of movement? I feel like there's a

  596. turnaround about to happen in this house

  597. because I want you to see in spite of

  598. what the children of Judah did and them

  599. walking away from God and choosing Egypt

  600. and telling all the voices, WE DON'T

  601. WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT. CAN I tell you

  602. that even though they abandoned God, he

  603. did not abandon them. OH MY GOD, I FEEL

  604. THAT THIS UNDERSCORES THAT I SERVE A GOD

  605. WHO IS FAITHFUL NO MATTER HOW FAITHLESS

  606. I AM. I SERVE A GOD WHO LOVES ME IN

  607. SPITE OF MY ABANDONMENT OF HIM. AND EVEN

  608. WHEN I GIVE UP ON HIM, HE PURSUES ME. HE

  609. RUNS AFTER ME. HE GO, "OH MY, I FEEL

  610. THAT SOMEBODY'S GETTING IT RIGHT NOW.

  611. YOU MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE, BUT LET ME

  612. TELL YOU, THE STORY'S NOT OVER, BABY.

  613. JESUS IS ABOUT TO rewrite it.

  614. >> Woo! Come on, SOMEBODY SAY, "REWRITE my

  615. story."

  616. What are you TALKING ABOUT, PASTOR? THAT

  617. EVEN WHEN I BREAK HIS HEART, he still

  618. breaks his neck to get to me.

  619. >> Come on. What are YOU TALKING ABOUT?

  620. GIVE ME SOME SCRIPTURE BEHIND THAT. BUT

  621. God

  622. >> who is rich in mercy. Come on, somebody.

  623. Oh, does anybody serve a God who's rich

  624. in mercy today? If I got nothing else I

  625. could take from this message, IT IS THIS

  626. RIGHT HERE THAT I ONCE WAS UNDONE, but

  627. God WHO IS RICH IN MERCY. I ONCE

  628. ABANDONED MY SAVIOR, BUT GOD WHO IS RICH

  629. IN MERCY. I ONCE MADE A MESS OF MY LIFE,

  630. BUT GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY SHOWED UP

  631. AND REDEEMED ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I

  632. WISH I HAD SOMEBODY THAT WOULD PRAISE

  633. GOD THAT WE SERVE A GOD WHO IS RICH IN

  634. MERCY. OH, WHO IS LOVING, WHO IS KIND,

  635. WHO IS ABLE TO BREAK EVERY CHAIN OFF OF

  636. MY LIFE. I SERVE A GOD WHO IS RICH IN

  637. MERCY. WOO! Come on, somebody. He is a

  638. merciful God. And if we were able to

  639. reflect and be honest this morning, he's

  640. given us a lot of mercy.

  641. He's given me a lot of mercy. And

  642. because he's given me a lot of mercy, I

  643. know he'll give you a lot of mercy, too.

  644. The truth is today that you don't have

  645. to walk out of this room without

  646. experiencing the mercy of the great God

  647. that I'm preaching about today.

  648. >> The trick of the enemy is to say, you

  649. hear that pastor, he's talking about

  650. everybody but you.

  651. >> I let that one settle for a second.

  652. You say, "How do you know that? This is

  653. not my first rodeo preaching. And I know

  654. when I preach about the mercy of God,

  655. everybody, there's be somebody in the

  656. room that would say, "Pastor, you don't

  657. know what I've done." You're right. I

  658. don't. But he knows what you did. And he

  659. still let you get in here and he had me

  660. preach this over your life and let you

  661. know, I don't care what you've done. I

  662. don't care where you've been. I don't

  663. care how many times you made him. Oh my

  664. god.

  665. Maybe somebody listening by live stream

  666. will hear this and let you know that

  667. you're not too FAR GONE. HE'S DRAWING

  668. YOU BACK RIGHT NOW. AND TODAY IT ENDS

  669. HERE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

  670. My my my.

  671. The truth is the enemy would like to lie

  672. to you and tell you it's not going to

  673. happen. But I've come to let you know

  674. that the God of heaven has had me in

  675. warfare over you all week long to let

  676. you know that there's somebody in here

  677. that was saying, "I'm gonna give mercy

  678. one more chance." But can I tell you

  679. mercy is right here today with his arms

  680. open wide and his name is Jesus. How do

  681. you know he's got mercy for me? How do

  682. you know he loves me in spite of what I

  683. done? Because he said in spite of what

  684. you've already done, he died on a cross.

  685. He doesn't He already knew you were

  686. going to make a mistake. He already knew

  687. you was going to blow blow it. He

  688. already knew you were going to make a

  689. mess of your life. But he said in spite

  690. of what you've done, he endured the

  691. cross. He despised the shame. And today

  692. I want to tell you his mercy is his arms

  693. reach stretched out wide today SAYING

  694. COME TO THE FATHER and receive the love

  695. that he has for your life.

  696. >> Oh, I'll go to warfare every time I get

  697. in this pull pit because I believe with

  698. all my heart, all my soul and all my

  699. strength that there are people and their

  700. eternity is weighing in the balance.

  701. My God,

  702. for I am a merciful God and my grace

  703. never ends. I say to you today, my my

  704. mercies are new today as well. In spite

  705. of what you've been through, in spite of

  706. what you've done, in spite of the times

  707. you've walked away, I am still standing,

  708. waiting on you to run to me as the son,

  709. the prodical son, ran to his father. And

  710. I will meet you right where you're at.

  711. You don't have to run all the way to the

  712. porch. I will meet you in the road

  713. because my mercy for you never ends.

  714. Today receive my mercy, says the King of

  715. Kings and the Lord of Lords.

  716. Come on, somebody. Can you give God

  717. praise for his mercy? Come on, give God

  718. praise for the merciful God.

  719. >> He is a merciful God.

  720. Can I tell you that this God that we're

  721. preaching about, our God, showed up for

  722. Judah despite their rebellion, their

  723. separation, their decision, and their

  724. outright sin. His redeeming voice

  725. drowned out the rebellion, the

  726. separation, and the sin. His voice

  727. drowned it out. I preached this message.

  728. I think it was uh when we had friends

  729. and family day down at the barn that one

  730. time and I preached about uh the three

  731. times before Christ was crucified that

  732. the rooster crowed and and and Peter

  733. denied Christ three separate times in

  734. that and then he meets him not too long

  735. after the resurrection on the beach and

  736. cooks him some fish and answers asked

  737. him three separate questions. Do you

  738. love me more than these? And he said, "I

  739. love you. I love you. Can I tell you?"

  740. The voice of God canceled out the mess

  741. that Peter had got himself in. And

  742. today, I want you to understand the

  743. voice of God is about to cancel out

  744. every doubt that's ever been in your

  745. mind

  746. >> because we need to hear mercy again in

  747. the church.

  748. MERCY. YES, HOLINESS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO

  749. HEAR MERCY TO GET US to a point where we

  750. live for the Lord. Holiness is not IS

  751. NOT SOMETHING WE do out of rules and

  752. regulations. Holiness is something we do

  753. out of a heart that has received the

  754. mercy of God. It is a cheerful thing in

  755. our life to give him the holiness part.

  756. We need to hear mercy again because I'll

  757. be honest, there's peace and safety in

  758. hearing a trusted voice.

  759. Anybody's ever been flying before and it

  760. gets kind of turbulent and gets a little

  761. shaky, gets a little scary. And again,

  762. you realize that there's nothing but

  763. maybe a few layers of thin metal between

  764. you and a 30 30,000 plus drop fall.

  765. Can I get a witness? I don't know how

  766. many seats they've had to replace, but

  767. my honey has chewed up a few of them in

  768. airplanes. Can I get a witness? It makes

  769. me nervous. But I tell you one thing

  770. that makes it okay is when you realize

  771. that there are two people up in the

  772. cockpit that they want to get home to

  773. their family just as bad as you do. And

  774. then you're hitting all these bumps and

  775. it's starting to jive around. It's going

  776. crazy. And you hear the pilot come on

  777. say, "Uh, ladies and gentlemen, we're

  778. experiencing a little bit of turbulence.

  779. We're going to find some clear air and

  780. we're going to get in it, but we're

  781. going to make it home just fine." And

  782. you hear that that voice. One voice. One

  783. time it was we were coming out of uh I

  784. think it was leaving Atlanta and it was

  785. late at night. night. It was one of the

  786. last flights and um they told us that

  787. the kid that was flying that night, it

  788. was like his second flight.

  789. Yeah. And and y that wasn't the worst

  790. part. The worst part was, well, he

  791. didn't do so good last time on the

  792. landing, but we're going to give him a

  793. chance to redeem himself tonight. And I

  794. was like, the devil is a liar.

  795. That joker can pick an empty plane. Can

  796. I get a witness? Do your thing, baby.

  797. But I remember and even beyond that,

  798. like the next part scared me even worse.

  799. He said, "Listen," I was talking to my

  800. other guy. He said, "We found some clear

  801. air from Atlanta down to Pensacola." But

  802. he said, "I'm going I'm going to do it

  803. like this right here. We're going to fly

  804. this baby like we stole it."

  805. I was like, "Whoa." I was like, "Bro, I

  806. prefer to live and not die." Now, I'll

  807. say this. Was it scary on the landing?

  808. Oh, you better believe it. It definitely

  809. was a rookie. Come on, somebody.

  810. I was like, I'm pretty sure one of our

  811. wings is like this. I don't know. We're

  812. we're back and forth. Somehow we made

  813. it. I'm still here. Praise God. But it

  814. was okay knowing it was his first shot

  815. or his in this case it was his second

  816. shot. I guess the first plane made it

  817. too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been on

  818. the second plane. But anyways, but it

  819. made me comfortable to know there was

  820. another guy sitting there that have been

  821. flying for 40 years.

  822. So I knew if it got too MUCH FOR HIM TO

  823. HANDLE, the other guy would say, "Hey

  824. buddy, I got it from here." And a

  825. trusted voice,

  826. trusted hands

  827. >> would take over and begin to navigate

  828. that thing so that everybody made it to

  829. the destination safely. Can I tell you,

  830. there are times in our life where we

  831. don't recognize the voice of God that he

  832. is speaking to us because we're in delay

  833. and we don't know what's going on. It

  834. feels turbulent and all this stuff and

  835. we're listening to EVERYBODY SCREAM

  836. AROUND US. AH, WE'RE [screaming] GOING

  837. TO DIE. HE'S NEVER GOING TO LAND THE

  838. PLANE. IF YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN.

  839. Come on, somebody. THERE ARE TIMES IN

  840. OUR LIFE WE NEED A GOOD HOLY GHOST SHUT

  841. UP and listen to the voice of God and

  842. SAY, "I KNOW IT FEELS CRAZY RIGHT NOW,

  843. BUT IF YOU'LL TRUST GOD IN SPITE OF WHAT

  844. YOU FEEL, OH, HOW DO I KNOW THAT,

  845. PASTOR? I DON'T WALK BY FEELINGS. I

  846. DON'T WALK BY SIGHT. I WALK BY FAITH,

  847. KNOWING THAT GOD'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF

  848. ME. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE ROOM THIS

  849. MORNING THAT WOULD SAY, "I KNOW I'VE

  850. BEEN THROUGH SOME TURBULENT AIR. I KNOW

  851. I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME CRAZY THINGS IN

  852. MY LIFE, BUT EVERY SINGLE TIME THE

  853. CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP GETS ME SAFELY HOME,

  854. HE'S BEEN WITH ME. HE'S WALKED WITH ME.

  855. HE'S BEEN IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE. I DARE

  856. YOU TO GIVE JESUS A CRAZY PRAISE IN THE

  857. HOUSE." OH, COME ON. CAN WE GIVE OUR

  858. MERCIFUL GOD A PRAISE?

  859. My God.

  860. and reminded me of this. There are many

  861. times we have things competing for our

  862. voice, for the for our ears and our

  863. voices. And I took my mind back to when

  864. I was a young kid. And I remember I had

  865. the assignment of turning the antenna

  866. until the TV worked.

  867. Anybody ever had that assignment before?

  868. All right. So, you know what I'm talking

  869. about. You know, mom and dad sitting in

  870. a living room, they're staring at a

  871. fuzzy TV and they say, "Open that

  872. sliding glass door. Go out there and

  873. turn that thing." Our grandma and

  874. grandpa does. Or, "Open a window."

  875. window so I can Why do you open the

  876. window so you can hear them? Cuz you

  877. know what you got to do on the other

  878. side. You grab a hold of that thing.

  879. No, keep going.

  880. And you turn it. Then you get you get

  881. brave. You start TURNING IT FAST. WAIT,

  882. WAIT, WAIT. GO BACK. GO BACK. ANYBODY

  883. ever been there before

  884. and you're turning it back and forth and

  885. trying to figure out, all right, where

  886. where's the signal going to go? Then

  887. they got fancy and they had these rabbit

  888. ears you put on top of your TV and you

  889. had to like connect tinfoil between them

  890. to make it work better. Come on. Anybody

  891. ever been there before? You have to

  892. twist them and turn them and do all this

  893. kind of stuff. I remember those days.

  894. And then every once in a while, you get

  895. to that point, you turn that big old

  896. antenna. You know, it's like 30 foot

  897. tall in the backyard. You know, if a

  898. storm came, you have a TV for like a

  899. month. Come on. So, you're out there,

  900. you twisting it. And then all of a

  901. sudden, YOU HEAR, "WAIT, STOP RIGHT

  902. THERE. IT'S PERFECT.

  903. WHAT IS happening in that moment?"

  904. Because believe it or not, even now,

  905. there are wavelengths going over our

  906. head all over the place. In here, there

  907. are wireless signals going everywhere.

  908. There are there is things competing for

  909. the atmosphere all around us. Even back

  910. then when we had an antenna, it wasn't

  911. so much tuning into the right place. It

  912. was trying to get all the other mess out

  913. of the way

  914. >> because it did not the other signals

  915. from the other channels did not

  916. disappear because I pointed the antenna

  917. in the right place. No, no, no. I was

  918. tuning into the right channel. But what

  919. I was really doing on a more gradual, a

  920. more uh major level is I was tuning out

  921. every other voice. I didn't want to

  922. distort what I wanted to see on that

  923. television. Can I tell you that you've

  924. got to get to the point in your life

  925. that you tune out every other voice and

  926. say, "There's one voice I'm listening

  927. to." And if YOU GOT TO GET OUT THERE

  928. WITH A BIG ANTENNA and turn it UNTIL YOU

  929. HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD CLEARLY SAY, "THIS

  930. IS THE WAY." WALK IN IT. THEN LET ME

  931. TELL YOU SOMETHING, BABY. TURN IT. HOW

  932. DO I TURN IT, PASTOR? YOU GET ON YOUR

  933. KNEES AND YOU PRAY. YOU OPEN THE WORD OF

  934. GOD AND SAY, "LORD, I'M GOING TO GO OLD

  935. SCHOOL ON IT. I'M GOING TO GO ANALOG AND

  936. I'M GOING TO TURN THIS ANTENNA UNTIL I

  937. HEAR YOUR VOICE. I'M GOING TO TURN THIS

  938. THING UNTIL I HEAR I AM BLESSED AND

  939. HIGHLY FAVORED." I'M GOING TO TURN THIS

  940. THING UNTIL I HEAR GOD SAY, "YOU CAN DO

  941. ALL THINGS THROUGH ME WHO GIVES YOU

  942. STRENGTH." IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE

  943. THAT WOULD SAY, "I WANT TO HEAR THE

  944. VOICE OF GOD."

  945. Come on. I wish I HAD SOMEBODY PRAISE

  946. GOD A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT RIGHT

  947. THERE for the fact that we can tune in

  948. to his VOICE AND TUNE EVERY OTHER VOICE

  949. OUT AND SAY, "LORD, DO IN ME WHAT YOU

  950. want to do."

  951. Look at your neighbor. Say, "Tune in."

  952. >> All right, that's pretty good. Try try

  953. it one more time. Shout, "Tune in."

  954. >> I want to tune in to his voice. I want

  955. to tune into his heart. I want to tune

  956. into what he's saying. Because if I

  957. listen to the voice of the enemy, I will

  958. end up forfeiting the blessing that God

  959. has for me on the other side of my

  960. obedience. But when I HEAR HIS VOICE

  961. RIGHT, I'M GOING TO WANT TO DO WHAT HE

  962. SAYS DO BECAUSE I'm going to trust that

  963. HIS VOICE AND HIS PATH is going to get

  964. me to the destination he has for my

  965. life.

  966. [snorts]

  967. >> Look at somebody say, "Tune in."

  968. >> Psalm 32 verse number eight says like

  969. this. The Lord says, "I will guide you

  970. along the best pathway for your life. I

  971. will advise you and I will watch over

  972. you. Proverbs 3:5 and 6 says, "Trust in

    Proverbs 3:5

  973. the Lord with all your heart and he

  974. shall direct your paths." John 10:27,

    John 10:27

  975. "My sheep hear my voice. I know them and

  976. they follow me." And can I tell you in

  977. this house, no matter how far you've

  978. gone, failed, or drifted, God is calling

  979. you back today. Come on. How many say,

  980. "I'm thankful he called me back."

  981. [snorts] Oh, come on. One more time. Can

  982. we give God praise for the fact that

  983. he's calling me back? He's calling me

  984. back. He's calling me higher. He's

  985. calling me deeper. He's calling me

  986. closer so I can hear his voice when he

  987. says, "This is the way. Walk in it."

  988. John 16:13 says, "When he, the Spirit of

    John 16:13

  989. truth, has come, he will guide you into

  990. all truth." Can I tell you the Holy

  991. Spirit does not merely speak over our

  992. lives. The Holy Spirit sanctifies our

  993. lives. He isn't calling you to defeat or

  994. brokenness or lack or fear. He is

  995. calling you to the way. Somebody say the

  996. way. Woo. What is the way, pastor? The

  997. way is the way of victory. Come on. V I

  998. C T O R Y. Baby, come on. It's victory.

  999. We got victory in the name of Jesus. He

  1000. is the way of redemption. He is the way

  1001. of triumph over evil. And I declare over

  1002. this house, we will triumph over every

  1003. evil agenda, over every evil spirit. We

  1004. will triumph over every tactic of the

  1005. enemy. Can I go and say it like this?

  1006. Your family will triumph over every evil

  1007. agenda. Your children will prosper. Your

  1008. family will be blessed. And come on,

  1009. somebody. I speak that over you and over

  1010. your life that you will triumph over

  1011. every tactic of the enemy that will try

  1012. to tear you down. Over every device of

  1013. the enemy. We're going to walk in the

  1014. way. But I'm going to say it like this.

  1015. We're going to walk unhindered in the

  1016. way. Can I get a witness? There's

  1017. nothing the enemy can do to stop what

  1018. God desires to do in our lives. Now, let

  1019. me get let me bring this baby down to a

  1020. close and into a landing. And when I say

  1021. that, we got a long way to go and a

  1022. short time to get there [snorts]

  1023. because I feel like God's going to do

  1024. something. So, I want my prayer team to

  1025. be ready to lay hands on some folks in

  1026. just a moment. Isaiah 30 verse 22. If we

    Isaiah 30:22

  1027. can throw that up there. Thank you.

  1028. Amen. Then you will destroy all your

  1029. silver idols and your precious gold

  1030. images. You will throw them out like

  1031. filthy rags. Somebody say filthy rags.

  1032. >> Saying to them, "Good riddance."

  1033. Somebody say, "Good riddance."

  1034. >> My God. Can I tell you, if you and I are

  1035. going to walk unhindered, we must

  1036. release the sin and the weights that are

  1037. holding us back.

  1038. What are you talking about, pastor?

  1039. There are things in our life that are

  1040. sinful that we need to let go of.

  1041. Come on. This is this is where the

  1042. rubber's going to meet the road.

  1043. Obviously, deal with some sin, but we're

  1044. going to deal with some weight, too.

  1045. Weight doesn't necessarily mean sinful

  1046. things. It could mean good, but not God.

  1047. Hello.

  1048. You either in the will of God or you out

  1049. of the will of God. Can I get a witness

  1050. in the house?

  1051. >> All right. You say, "What about

  1052. permissive will?" Permissive will is

  1053. just a slippery a slippery slope to

  1054. being out of the will of God.

  1055. Come on, somebody

  1056. understand that there has to be a good

  1057. riddance in our spirit.

  1058. Meaning that we cannot play with sin and

  1059. we cannot play with weight that tries to

  1060. ensnare us and pull us away. We have to

  1061. deal with it.

  1062. Okay? So, I wanted to preach everybody

  1063. into a crazy frenzy today, but that's

  1064. not what the Lord wants me to do because

  1065. we're about to break some cycles in this

  1066. house.

  1067. We're about to break some chains. We can

  1068. break it through praise and we may

  1069. praise at the end of this thing, but I

  1070. want you to understand, it's got to take

  1071. intentional, direct opposition against

  1072. the enemy to break things off of your

  1073. life. You thought you were coming to

  1074. another church service, but you were

  1075. coming to the church service that's

  1076. going to change your life. And so, I'm

  1077. going to say this. Hebrews 12 verse

  1078. number one says, "Therefore we also

  1079. since we are surrounded by so great a

  1080. cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside

  1081. every weight and the sin which so easily

  1082. ins snares us and let us run with

  1083. endurance the race that is set before

  1084. us." So whatever is and has been holding

  1085. you back, watch this, must be released

  1086. from your grip. Somebody throw your

  1087. hands up and just let it go. Come on,

  1088. throw it. Let it go. Just like that.

  1089. Right there. Let it go. I'm not going to

  1090. let any kind of weight. I'm not gonna

  1091. let any kind of sin stop me from go

  1092. going after God. Because watch this.

  1093. When I release that weight and I release

  1094. that sin, it gives us and allows us to

  1095. have capacity to carry what God has for

  1096. us in the next season. If you're still

  1097. holding on to the last season, you

  1098. cannot carry what God has for you in the

  1099. next season. At some point, you got to

  1100. let it go and say, "God, here I am. I

  1101. embrace everything you have for me in

  1102. this next season." And the capacity is

  1103. this. That we walk in his perfect will

  1104. for this season that's coming inside of

  1105. our life. Somebody shout, "It ends

  1106. here."

  1107. >> Come on, shout it like you mean it. Say,

  1108. "It ends here."

  1109. >> I'm going to preach it like I feel it.

  1110. The sin that has been gripping your

  1111. life, it ends here today. Fear that's

  1112. been gripping your life ends here today.

  1113. Depression that's been over your mind,

  1114. it ends here today. ANXIETY THAT'S BEEN

  1115. OVER YOUR LIFE, it ends here today.

  1116. Poverty that's been chasing you down, it

  1117. ends here today. Hurt from the last

  1118. season, it ends here today. Brokenness,

  1119. it ends here today. Loneliness, it ends

  1120. here today. Lust, it ends here today.

  1121. PORNOGRAPHY ENDS HERE TODAY. ADULTERY

  1122. ENDS HERE TODAY. HOMOSEXUALITY ENDS HERE

  1123. TODAY. IDOLS ENDS HERE TODAY. DIVISION

  1124. ENDS HERE TODAY. GOSSIP ENDS HERE TODAY.

  1125. ADDICTION ENDS HERE TODAY. I DECLARE TO

  1126. YOU, EVERY CYCLE THAT'S COMING AGAINST

  1127. YOUR LIFE, IT ENDS TODAY. I WISH I HAD

  1128. SOME VOTE THAT WOULD GIVE GOD PRAISE. IF

  1129. IT'S ALREADY BEEN BROKEN, BUT IT'S GOING

  1130. TO BE BROKEN IN JESUS' NAME. I NEED THE

  1131. WHOLE CHURCH TO GIVE GOD A RADICAL

  1132. PRAISE THAT IT ENDS TODAY IN THIS

  1133. MOMENT. I'M NOT TAKING IT WITH ME OUT

  1134. THAT DOOR. IT'S STOPPING RIGHT HERE IN

  1135. JESUS' NAME.

  1136. It's stopping right here in Jesus name.

  1137. So I will say it like this today. It

  1138. ends here. It ends here. It ends here. I

  1139. got a beautiful chauffear. Jerry Paul,

  1140. come right up here with me. You handsome

  1141. devil. Come here. Come on. Don't y'all

  1142. love Jerry Paul and Brenda? Man,

  1143. he took over 40 They took over 40 people

  1144. out to the to the beach the other day to

  1145. look at dolphins. Come on. Yesterday we

  1146. look at dolphins and he's still

  1147. standing. Come on. I know you're tired.

  1148. It was hot out there. But I told him, I

  1149. said, "I want you to get ready to blow

  1150. that chauffear." Because what does that

  1151. chauffear mean? It means a lot of

  1152. things. But one thing it does mean is it

  1153. means victory over everything that has

  1154. come against your life. It means a

  1155. gathering of the people. It means

  1156. victory over every part of your life.

  1157. And so, let me go ahead and say this. We

  1158. have been in a prayer strategy in this

  1159. house since uh whatever it was. The July

  1160. or something. I don't remember what day

  1161. we released that. End of July, I think

  1162. it were, but end of June, maybe.

  1163. Anyways, I will get my days messed up

  1164. even if I try. But I'm going to say

  1165. this. We've been in this prayer strategy

  1166. for a while. And we've been asking God

  1167. to send revival to every state, to every

  1168. church, every apostle, every pastor,

  1169. every evangelist, every prophet, every

  1170. teacher, every one of them. We want them

  1171. to experience the power and the might of

  1172. God. Here's what I know that there are

  1173. pastors that have been receiving letters

  1174. from people in this house that have

  1175. brought encouragement to them. And then

  1176. they've turned around and said, "Now,

  1177. we're going to pray for Liberty Culture

  1178. that God would show up and do incredible

  1179. things." Can I tell you that I believe

  1180. we're about to see revival in this

  1181. nation? Some people say, "Well, God is

  1182. finished with this nation." Oh, no, no,

  1183. no. The devil is a liar. How do you KNOW

  1184. HE'S NOT FINISHED? BECAUSE I'm an

  1185. American baby and I'm breathing today.

  1186. And if he's NOT FINISHED WITH ME, HE'S

  1187. NOT FINISHED WITH THIS NATION YET. I

  1188. BELIEVE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ABOUT TO COME.

  1189. AND I BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE IT IN

  1190. THE NAME OF JESUS. DIVISION IN THIS

  1191. NATION, IT ENDS HERE. IDOLATRY IN THIS

  1192. NATION ENDS HERE. IDOLATRY IN THE PULL

  1193. PIT IS HERE NOW. LET'S BLOW IT. COME ON.

  1194. I WANT YOU TO SHOUT IT.

  1195. Come on.

  1196. Some shout.

  1197. Come on. GIVE ME SOME RADICAL CHURCH

  1198. FOLK THAT'LL JUMP TO YOUR FEET AND GIVE

  1199. GOD PRAISE FOR THE FACT IT'S CHANGING.

  1200. IT'S SHIFTING. COME ON. HE'S TURNING

  1201. AROUND FOR OUR GOOD AND FOR HIS GLORY.

  1202. [music]

  1203. And not only that, just remain standing.

  1204. Get my team up here real quick. I'm

  1205. almost done. Come here with me. Come

  1206. here with me. Here's what I believe.

  1207. We're going to shout it over our nation.

  1208. We going to shout it over our region.

  1209. >> We going to shout it over our church.

  1210. But then we're going to shout it over

  1211. every one of the families in this house.

  1212. Come on, look at your neighbor. Say,

  1213. "There's a blessing coming to your

  1214. family." that there's a there's a I feel

  1215. I feel radical praise in this house. I

  1216. feel like God's about to shift some

  1217. things and I need a church in the house

  1218. to recognize what God has done for you

  1219. and what God has done in this house is

  1220. not going to stop in this house. But

  1221. it's about to go to the far reaches of

  1222. this earth and what God is going to do.

  1223. He's going to do it quick. NOW, DO I

  1224. HAVE A CHURCH THAT would get EXCITED FOR

  1225. THE FACT IN our region God's going to do

  1226. something? In our church, God's going to

  1227. DO SOMETHING. BUT IN YOUR FAMILY, GOD'S

  1228. going to do something. SO WHEN HE BLOWS

  1229. THIS CHAUFFEAR, I WANT YOU TO GIVE HIM

  1230. THE MOST RADICAL PRAISE THAT YOU CAN

  1231. give him. NOT A HALFCOOK PRAISE, NOT

  1232. SOMETHING SOME LITTLE GOLF CLAP ON A

  1233. SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT I AM LOOKING for a

  1234. church that will get radical WITH ME AND

  1235. SAY, "I BELIEVE THE BREAKTHROUGH we've

  1236. been asking GOD TO BRING US IS ON THE

  1237. OTHER SIDE OF OUR NEXT PRAISE." ARE YOU

  1238. READY TODAY? COME ON. LET'S DO A LITTLE

  1239. WARM UP. ARE YOU READY TO PRAISE HIM?

  1240. OH, come on. Oh, not yet. Not yet. Not

  1241. yet. I'm That's a warm-up. I want you to

  1242. do one more warm-up. IF YOU'RE READY FOR

  1243. GOD TO DO IT, LET A PRAISE OUT IN THE

  1244. HOUSE.

  1245. All right. Now, here's what I know. The

  1246. next praise we're going to give him for

  1247. is for victory over every region, for

  1248. victory over this church and every

  1249. territory God has called us to claim FOR

  1250. THE GLORY OF GOD. BUT HE'S ALSO GOING TO

  1251. GIVE US VICTORY IN YOUR HOME. HOW MANY

  1252. VICTORY in your home today? Come on.

  1253. Oh, come on. How many you need SOMEBODY

  1254. TO GET SAVED THAT'S PART OF YOUR FAMILY?

  1255. OH, come on. I don't have no radical

  1256. people. If you need somebody to BE SAVED

  1257. IN YOUR FAMILY, GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE

  1258. RIGHT NOW.

  1259. Oh my God. I feel that in my spirit. ARE

  1260. YOU READY? ARE YOU READY? NOW, LIFT YOUR

  1261. HANDS TO HEAVEN. AND WHEN YOU HEAR THIS

  1262. CHAUFFAR BLAST, I dare you TO TURN OUT

  1263. AND GO CRAZY FOR GOD BECAUSE HE'S ABOUT

  1264. TO DO IT. YOU READY? 1 2 3.

  1265. Come on, somebody and give him praise.

  1266. Come on, MUSICIANS, GIVE HIM PRAISE.

  1267. COME ON. COME ON AND PRAISE HIM. [music]

  1268. COME ON AND GLORIFY HIM. HE'S WORTHY.

  1269. COME ON. BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING.

  1270. DELIVERANCE IS COMING. Healing is

  1271. coming. God is [music] doing it in Jesus

  1272. name.

  1273. Look at your neighbor and say it ends

  1274. here.

  1275. It ends in your family. It ends in YOUR

  1276. CHILDREN. [music]

  1277. IT ENDS HERE IN JESUS NAME. 1 2 3 give

  1278. him praise in the house.

  1279. Now just remain standing.

  1280. Thank you sir. I'm going to tell you

  1281. this. The king is in the room.

  1282. >> And the king is not just stay in this

  1283. room.

  1284. He is going with you to your house.

  1285. And he's about to shift some things in

  1286. your house. Come close me outside. He's

  1287. about to shift some things now. We're

  1288. about to go to work. We're about to go

  1289. to work. Look at your neighbor. Say, "It

  1290. ends here.

  1291. I want y'all to lock in with me for the

  1292. next 10 minutes. It can be 10 minutes

  1293. and we're about to see something radical

  1294. hit this house. 10 minutes.

  1295. And I believe God wants to do something

  1296. significant in your life. He wants to

  1297. tell you something. He didn't come here

  1298. by accident today. He came here by

  1299. purpose. Colossians 2 describes that we

  1300. are we find our redemption in Christ.

  1301. victory over the requirements that were

  1302. written down and triumph over every evil

  1303. spirit

  1304. to the tune. The word of God says it

  1305. like this. He disarmed principalities

  1306. and powers.

  1307. When the enemy comes against you, remind

  1308. him, you stupid joker, you don't even

  1309. have a gun.

  1310. >> Come on. That's how I read it when I

  1311. read it. He disarmed him. In other

  1312. words, whatever offensive weapon the

  1313. enemy had, he's not allowed to possess

  1314. it because Jesus took it away. Come on,

  1315. somebody.

  1316. And and

  1317. if we're not careful, we will tuck our

  1318. head and run away in fear based off of a

  1319. voice when the enemy has no power over

  1320. our life.

  1321. >> And so, family, I want y'all to get

  1322. ready to sing that last song y'all were

  1323. singing, that I'm taking back what the

  1324. enemy stole from me. And I declare this

  1325. over your heart and over your life today

  1326. that I want to declare eight steps over

  1327. your life to new beginnings.

  1328. That was my first message. Here's my

  1329. second message.

  1330. I cannot preach

  1331. blank ends here without bringing a

  1332. conclusion to whatever that blank is.

  1333. I can't let you walk out of here bound

  1334. by things in your mind and your spirit

  1335. when we can simply come to the Lord and

  1336. we can get freedom and we can be free

  1337. from every generational curse and every

  1338. generational cycle and we can walk out

  1339. of here not with just saying that was a

  1340. good church service. Thank God for how

  1341. the spirit of God moved all the way

  1342. throughout it. But today this is what he

  1343. has for you. You don't have to walk out

  1344. of here bound anymore. What about drugs

  1345. and alcohol and all that stuff? He can

  1346. break it just like that.

  1347. He can break it. But watch this. You got

  1348. to be number one willing to fully submit

  1349. to God.

  1350. James 4:7 says, "Therefore submit to

    James 4:7

  1351. God. Resist the devil and he will flee

  1352. from you."

  1353. That's the first thing. Somebody shout,

  1354. "Submit."

  1355. >> Number two, you've got to claim the

  1356. power of the blood over your life.

  1357. Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of

    Hebrews 9:22

  1358. blood, there is no remission. Remission

  1359. is a word that is used in the cancer

  1360. world, [music]

  1361. meaning that cancer has been dismissed

  1362. or sent away or retracting in their body

  1363. when it's in remission. When you claim

  1364. the incredible power of the blood of

  1365. Jesus, you experience victory. God looks

  1366. at you and because of the blood, he sees

  1367. no sin in you whatsoever. Your sin has

  1368. been dismissed, sent away, or been put

  1369. in remission by the blood of Jesus. And

  1370. the blood of Jesus is an unstoppable

  1371. weapon that places generational curses

  1372. producing sin in remission in our life.

  1373. So we've got to plead the blood. Look at

  1374. your neighbor say, "Plead the blood."

  1375. So we got to submit. We got to claim or

  1376. speak and plead the blood. Number three,

  1377. you've got to forgive your family.

  1378. You say, "Well, I've been carrying this

  1379. thing, and it seems like it's the same

  1380. thing that was in my my parents and my

  1381. grandparents, and I see the tendencies

  1382. of that sin trying to get in my life."

  1383. Listen, you got to forgive them and move

  1384. on. If you don't forgive them, they will

  1385. be a crutch, and that curse will follow

  1386. you and it will end up in your next

  1387. seed.

  1388. But you have a choice. You can break

  1389. that curse today. Come on, somebody. But

  1390. we got to forgive. Say, if I if you've

  1391. been dealing generational curses [music]

  1392. in your family, you must walk in

  1393. complete and total forgiveness.

  1394. Unforgiveness is toxic and will hinder

  1395. you from living in freedom and liberty

  1396. that you have you desperately need. Mark

    Mark 11:25

  1397. 11:25 says, "And whatever you say or

  1398. whatever you stand praying, if you have

  1399. anything against anyone, forgive him

  1400. that your father in heaven may also

  1401. forgive you your trespasses."

  1402. The question is always presented at this

  1403. moment. What if they don't want my

  1404. forgiveness or they don't care? I have a

  1405. secret to let you in on this morning.

  1406. The forgiveness is totally for them. But

  1407. they must choose to accept it and that

  1408. is their choice. But can I tell you when

  1409. you choose to forgive, it may not set

  1410. them free from that bondage, but it will

  1411. set you free from that bondage. Oh, come

  1412. on. How many thankful for the power of

  1413. forgiveness today?

  1414. So we got to submit. We got to plead the

  1415. blood. We got to forgive our family. And

  1416. then we got to confess your sin and the

  1417. sin that was present in the generations

  1418. before you. Leviticus 26. But if they

  1419. confess their iniquity and the iniquity

  1420. of their [music] fathers with their

  1421. unfaithfulness in which they were

  1422. unfaithful to me and that they also have

  1423. walked contrary to me, it says then I

  1424. will remember my covenant.

  1425. That's God's words. If I confess my

  1426. iniquities and the iniquities of my

  1427. fathers before me, he will remember his

  1428. covenant and confessing the iniquity of

  1429. those who have gone before me. We're

  1430. acknowledging that this has been a

  1431. stronghold in my family. This is

  1432. literally an act of faith. It's not

  1433. submission to the sin. It's an act of

  1434. faith. And when you do this, you're

  1435. declaring that the drawing and tendency

  1436. toward that sin that existed in your

  1437. family will not exist in you or the next

  1438. generation. It is broken in Jesus name.

  1439. Number five, use the powerful name of

  1440. Jesus. Somebody say, "Jesus."

  1441. Oh,

  1442. the Bible says, "And whatever you ask in

  1443. my name, that I will do, and the father

  1444. may be glor that the father may be

  1445. glorified in the son." If you ask

  1446. anything in my name, he said, "I will do

  1447. it." Ask in Jesus name. Ask for freedom.

  1448. Ask for deliverance. Total victory over

  1449. every generational curse. Nothing is

  1450. greater than the name of Jesus.

  1451. Philippians says that he's been given a

  1452. name that is above every [music] name.

  1453. Somebody shout Jesus.

  1454. >> When the enemy comes against you or

  1455. presents himself to your life, you need

  1456. to start dropping the name of Jesus.

  1457. Cancer comes, I know the most powerful

  1458. name that's ever lived. Jesus. Come on.

  1459. If divorce tries to scream over your

  1460. family, say, "Wait a second. I know the

  1461. most powerful name. It's Jesus." And you

  1462. speak the name of Jesus. And then number

  1463. six [snorts] and number seven and eight

  1464. I'll get to after this one. But number

  1465. six literally quite literally break the

  1466. curse by faith off of those of you off

  1467. of your life and those who will come

  1468. after you.

  1469. You break the curse by faith off of you

  1470. and those that will come after you.

  1471. Now these [music] are not just notes for

  1472. you to go back and take care of later.

  1473. Although that is beautiful. But in just

  1474. a moment, we're going to make a

  1475. confession in this house

  1476. and you and I are going to walk out of

  1477. here free in Jesus name. This is the

  1478. interactive part of the message. I

  1479. wanted this part to be where people are

  1480. jumping over chairs and swinging from

  1481. the balcony and all that stuff. [music]

  1482. I wanted to get crazy,

  1483. but I felt the Holy Spirit arrest this

  1484. moment and say, "No, I've called you to

  1485. do this work today because there's

  1486. somebody in the room that needs

  1487. generational curses and cycles broken

  1488. off of their life

  1489. because today it ends here.

  1490. It ends here." And so this prayer that I

  1491. pinn I pinned down,

  1492. we're going to declare it together.

  1493. But before we declare it, I want every

  1494. head bowed, every eye closed.

  1495. Proverbs 18:21 says, "The power of death

    Proverbs 18:21

  1496. and life. It's in your tongue.

  1497. Those that love it will eat its fruit."

  1498. And today, we're going to speak in faith

  1499. and declare the power of every

  1500. generational curse or cycle is broken

  1501. off of your family. You say, "Pastor,

  1502. I'm in this place and I I don't know

  1503. Jesus. You preached about this Jesus,

  1504. and I want to make sure my life is right

  1505. with the Lord before I leave this place.

  1506. I'm going to lend this moment for you to

  1507. respond because you're going to come

  1508. down with everybody else. You're not

  1509. going to come down by yourself. [music]

  1510. But you say, "Pastor, I don't know the

  1511. Lord, but I want to make my life right

  1512. with him today. I want to serve Jesus. I

  1513. [music] want to know this Christ that

  1514. you're preaching about. The one who paid

  1515. it all." I want you to slip your hand up

  1516. and say, "Pastor, when you pray today,

  1517. please pray for me. I want to make my

  1518. life right. I want to make sure I'm

  1519. right with God. I want to make sure

  1520. there's no sin, no nothing separating me

  1521. from the Lord." Amen. Amen. Thank you.

  1522. Thank you for that hand. Praise God.

  1523. Praise God. The Lord is doing it. Amen.

  1524. Amen. Anybody else? Just real quick.

  1525. Say, "Well, I want to make my life

  1526. right." Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. God

  1527. is doing this. God's doing it. I want

  1528. everybody [music] to look up at pastor

  1529. for just a second. There are plenty that

  1530. raise their hand, but in this house,

  1531. this is going to be an interactive

  1532. moment for our entire church, Liberty

  1533. Culture Church, right here, right now.

  1534. is going to cause I'm calling for 100%

  1535. participation in this next moment

  1536. [music] because this prayer may not be

  1537. just for you. The prayer and the way you

  1538. pray it may be the confidence the person

  1539. standing beside you in the altar may

  1540. need to get free.

  1541. >> We are a family. Look at your neighbor

  1542. say we're family.

  1543. >> We're family today and today we're about

  1544. to break every generational curse. So

  1545. I'm going to ask everybody in the room

  1546. to come and join me around the altar.

  1547. You ready? One, two, three. Come on.

  1548. Come on. Everybody together as a family.

  1549. And I want my family to be ready to sing

  1550. this after we get through declaring

  1551. this. I've got two instructions after

  1552. this prayer [music]

  1553. and then we're going to tear off and

  1554. we're going to declare that. Okay? I

  1555. want you to be prepared. Come on. That's

  1556. it. Squeeze in so we can make sure we

  1557. have room. That's it. That's it. Come

  1558. on. That's it, family. Hallelujah.

  1559. Hallelujah.

  1560. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  1561. Hallelujah.

  1562. The goodness of God is what draws people

  1563. to repentance.

  1564. And today I I pray that you felt the

  1565. goodness of God. Come on, that's it.

  1566. Squeeze in right here in the middle.

  1567. There you go. Right there. Come on. Come

  1568. on down. Make room for everybody coming.

  1569. They got to have some room. Have some

  1570. room.

  1571. Hallelujah. I want us together as a

  1572. family today.

  1573. No curse is going to follow me from this

  1574. moment forward.

  1575. No cycle.

  1576. And watch this. You can pray this prayer

  1577. and you can just say words

  1578. or you can pray this with a heart of

  1579. anticipation saying, "God, if there's

  1580. anything in me that has presented itself

  1581. as a cycle, a cyclical thing, let this

  1582. be the moment that that ends here.

  1583. >> It ends here today. It ends. And I'm not

  1584. going to let it go past this moment."

  1585. And so this prayer that I've

  1586. pinned down and written down, I want us

  1587. to pray this together

  1588. with a heart that really is approaching

  1589. God, knowing that we're called to submit

  1590. to him, speak the blood of Jesus,

  1591. forgive our family, confess the sins of

  1592. our fathers and oursel and use the

  1593. powerful name of Jesus. And now we're

  1594. about to break that cycle, not just for

  1595. me, but for my seed. And if the Lord

  1596. carries the next and the next and

  1597. whatever that looks like. All right, I'm

  1598. gonna go ahead and set the next

  1599. generation up for success and not

  1600. failure.

  1601. I'm gonna set them up by my confession

  1602. today and we're going to pray this

  1603. together. So you may you to get in

  1604. rhythm with me. It'll be on the screen

  1605. if we can put that first one up there.

  1606. I'll begin it and you guys just try to

  1607. stay in my rhythm the best way you can.

  1608. Put your hand on your heart and let's

  1609. [music] pray this together. I confess

  1610. and acknowledge my sin and the sin of

  1611. those who have gone before me. Their

  1612. bondage shall not be mine, nor shall it

  1613. be the generations that will come after

  1614. me. In the name of Jesus, [music] I

  1615. break every generational curse off my

  1616. family and me. Generational health

  1617. problems, heart disease, cancer,

  1618. diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma,

  1619. arthritis, ulcers, breathing problems,

  1620. blood disorders, bone degeneration. All

  1621. hereditary sickness is broken in Jesus'

  1622. name. Eating disorders, overeating,

  1623. anorexia, bulimia, or any type of eating

  1624. that would destroy my or harm our bodies

  1625. is destroyed. Alcoholism, addiction, and

  1626. all sexual immorality is broken from my

  1627. family line. Divorce, unforgiveness,

  1628. addictions, depression, sorrow, gossip,

  1629. worry, peer pressure, greed, bitterness,

  1630. anger, temper, unworthiness, wounds,

  1631. frustration, greed, compromise, smoking,

  1632. and poverty. I declare all these broken

  1633. in the name of Jesus. And by his shed

  1634. blood, my family and I will walk in

  1635. freedom and power, liberated from every

  1636. generational curse for the glory of God

  1637. in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Can we give

  1638. God praise in the house?

  1639. Come on. Can we give God praise in the

  1640. house that everything is broken,

  1641. every addiction is broken, [music] it

  1642. ends here today.

  1643. It ends here today.

  1644. And here's what you need to know.

  1645. If it ends here today, when I walk out

  1646. the room, it's not going with me.

  1647. That altar you're standing at, [snorts]

  1648. it is literally a place of exchange in

  1649. the word of God.

  1650. >> So, you have taken the generational

  1651. cycles that the enemy's tried to pin to

  1652. your life and you've laid them down.

  1653. Now, what are we going to do? We're

  1654. gonna pick up what God has for us. How

  1655. do you do that? You got to raise your

  1656. hands and begin to worship him right

  1657. now. He wants to give it to you. Come

  1658. on. Come on. I'm taking back everything

  1659. the enemy stole from me. Come on. My

  1660. peace of mind, I'm picking it up today.

  1661. My strength, I'm picking it up today. My

  1662. calling, I'm picking it up today. Come

  1663. on. The strength that I need, I'm

  1664. picking it up today. My blessing, I'm

  1665. picking it up today. The enemy thought

  1666. he had me, but I'm picking up every

  1667. blessing. Oh my God. And the enemy

  1668. cannot stop what God desires to do in

  1669. and through my life. So today, [music]

  1670. Lord, we commit oursself to changing our

  1671. behavior. We commit to not letting

  1672. [music] the strongholds get in our

  1673. minds. Satanic strongholds are broken.

  1674. God, we're not going to corrupt oursel

  1675. with company that doesn't pursue you.

  1676. We're going to pursue you with

  1677. everything we've got. And when we change

  1678. our habits, our life will change. And

  1679. God, I declare [music] that we will

  1680. rejoice every day knowing that you are

  1681. faithful. We confess blessing. Somebody

  1682. say, "I confess blessing. I confess

  1683. victory. I confess joy over my family

  1684. and over my heritage in [music] the

  1685. mighty name of Jesus." Now, can we raise

  1686. our hands and begin to give him praise?

  1687. Begin to give [music] him glory. Begin

  1688. to give him honor.
