Who Told You That? | Pastor Jesse Jernigan | 7.5.26 (Sermon)

But I'm going to tell you something. I

feel like preaching this morning.

Anybody ready to receive the word?

>> Listen. I don't know. This message may

not be for anybody else, but I'm fixing

to preach myself happy in this place

because I believe God's going to do

something incredible and something

great. I What What key you in, bro? I

don't even know. A flat. That sounds

like a Holy Ghost key right there. I

like that. Can we just raise our hands

to he all over the house?

Because all my life you have been

faithful.

Oh, all my life you have been so so

good.

With every breath that I am able,

I will sing

of the goodness. Can we raise our hands

to heaven and sing that? I feel the

glory of the Lord in the house. Say,

and all my life you have been faithful.

And all my life you have been so so

good.

Every breath, every breath that I am

made. Come on, shout it. I will sing. I

will sing

of the goodness

of God.

Sing it out.

And all my life you have been faithful.

Come on, anybody feel that way this

morning? Come on, tell him. Say, and all

my life you have been so, so good.

With every breath that I am able,

I will sing.

Come on, feel that in the house. Can we

throw our hands up to the Lord and sing

it one more time? Oh,

in all my life you have.

>> Come on. He hadn't found us yet. All my

life.

All my life you have been so

good. With every presence I

can sing,

>> I will sing.

I will sing.

I will sing. Yes, I will. I will sing

of the good. Can we shout it one more

time? I will sing. I will sing.

I will sing

of the goodness

of God.

Come on. Can we give him a clap? Clap

and shout for his goodness and his

mercy.

Hallelujah.

Come on, grab your Bibles, jump to your

feet if you're not already there. I

promise you, I'm going to read one

scripture and I'm going to let you sit

down and then we're going to see what

the Lord wants to do in our hearts and

our lives. If you're ready for the word,

shout it on.

The Bible says this. Second Timothy

2 Timothy 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1. Sorry I didn't tell you where

I was going. There you go. 2 Timothy

chapter number one verse number 7. And

shall I say this message is hot off the

press. I had a whole another thought

that I have been working on all week

long until about 6:00 this morning. And

the Lord said, "Hold up. Turn around. I

got something better." And I said,

"Great." I said, "You going to have to

give it to me because we're down to

crunch time." And God bless Sister

Wanda. I threw her notes at like 9:50

this morning and said, "Let's just see

what the Lord's going to do." And I

believe God's got a word for somebody in

the house. And like I done said, I'm

going to say it like this. If this ain't

for anybody else, I'm about to preach to

myself. So if I get happy, just excuse

me. Come on. Oh, come on, somebody. I

said, so if I get a little happy this

morning while I preach, just excuse me,

cuz I'm about to praise my way out of

some stuff. So second Timothy chapter

number one verse number seven. When you

get there say I got it.

For God has not given us a spirit of

fear.

For God has not given us a spirit of

fear or timidity

or intimidation.

I we about to give the devil a black eye

because I feel like I feel attention

right now. I feel some of you the

enemy's been trying to intimidate you

out of what God's called you to do. But

I come to declare war on the devil and

say not today, Satan. Not tomorrow,

Satan. Not come on, not in the future,

Satan. I DECLARE GOD HAS NOT GIVEN us a

spirit of intimidation.

But there it is of power. Somebody shout

power.

>> Oh, I feel the holy. I feel the spirit

of Pentecost. But of power. Somebody

shout love.

Somebody shout sound mind.

>> But a power love and a sound mind. So

today I want to preach on this simple

question.

Who told you that? Look at your neighbor

and say, "Who told you that?"

Let's pray. Father, we thank you for

your word. Thank you for your presence.

Thank you for every prayer that has been

released in this house. Now, God, anoint

me, use me, and I'll give you praise. In

Jesus name we pray. And everybody says,

"Amen." And amen. You may be seated in

the presence of the Lord today. As I

start this message, this thought, who

told you that many of you can probably

go back to conversations that you have

had with people that come to you and

give you false information that they

think is true, and you have to turn

around and look at them and say, "Who

told you that?" And for those of us in

the house that would say, "I've never

had that conversation." Listen, the

altar will be open for you later on at

the end of this message

cuz you know there's times in life that

you have stepped back and had to give

people a piece of your mind. But if

we're real honest and and we really lay

it down the line, if we had a better

thought and we're able to undo that or

maybe even take a mulligan for all my

golfers in the house on those

conversations, we probably would retain

that piece of our mind knowing full well

that in the future we're going to need

that peace for what the enemy is coming

against us with. Because here's what I

want us to understand in this house this

morning. That many people have

articulated that their adversary, their

enemy is people. But I've come to

correct that doctrinal theology and that

incorrectness and let you know that

people are not your enemy, baby.

>> Oh, come on, somebody. I I'm going to

say it. Let me say it one more time for

the people that didn't want to clap

because they felt like the enemy sitting

right beside them. I'm going to say

this. The people are not your enemy.

>> Can Can I have a church this morning

that'll get real with pastor and say, "I

believe people are not my enemy. I

believe that God has sent me on

assignment to bring the good news to

people and let them come on. Oh yeah, I

feel it right there. There's some

tension in this moment because people

are looking the way that they want to

look rather than looking the way the

word of God looks. So let's see what the

word of God says. He said this in

Ephesians chapter 6. This was Paul

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

giving instruction to the church at

Ephesus because they were up against a

huge battle and it was something that

was even in their mind seemed

insurmountable. It seemed like something

they would never be able to come against

OR MAYBE OVERPOWER. BUT HE SAID, "I'VE

GOT SOME FINAL INSTRUCTIONS for you,

church of Ephesus." And he said it like

this in chapter 6 verses 10, 11, 12, and

13. He said, "Finally, my brethren, be

strong in the Lord and in the power of

his might." Can I look at some people

today and let you know that I know the

enemy has been attacking you and he's

been attacking your family. He's been

attacking your finances. He's been

attacking YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY. BUT

I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU TODAY.

THE LORD IS SPEAKING TO YOU AND SAYING,

DON'T YOU GET WEARY AND WELLOING, BUT BE

STRONG IN THE Lord and in the power of

his might. HE SAID IT LIKE THIS. PUT ON

THE FULL ARMOR of God that you may be

able to stand against the ws of the

devil. And then HE COMES DOWN TO VERSE

NUMBER 12, which is where we SEE THIS

TODAY. FOR WE DO NOT WRESTLE against

flesh and blood.

>> Come on. Come on, somebody. I I am not

in competition with THE CHURCH DOWN THE

ROAD. I AM NOT IN competition with the

church COUNTIES OVER. I AM NOT IN

COMPETITION WITH SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE

ME, ACTS LIKE ME, AND PREACHES LIKE ME.

WHAT I AM IS I AM PART OF THE BODY OF

CHRIST. AND IF THEY'RE PART OF THE BODY

OF CHRIST, THEN I NEED EVERY PART

FUNCTIONING TO THE HIGHEST CAPABILITY it

can. BECAUSE WHEN THE BODY'S

FUNCTIONING, THE DEVIL STARTS LOSING.

COME ON. I SAID WHEN THE BODY'S

FUNCTIONING, THE ENEMY STARTS LOSING.

THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS STARTS GETTING

ON THE RUN. AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT

THERE'S A CHURCH IN THIS LAST DAY

OUTPOURING THAT'S NOT GOING TO CARE WHAT

DENOMINATION SAYS, NOT GOING TO CARE

WHAT TITLES ABOVE THE DOOR, BUT THEY'RE

GOING TO SAY, "ARE WE PART OF THE BODY?

ARE WE MARCHING FORWARD IN UNITY?" IS

THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD SAY, "I WANT

THE BODY OF CHRIST TO RISE. I WANT THE

ANOINTING TO COME AND THE POWER TO BE ON

DISPLAY.

Because the TRUTH IS IF THE BODY'S

DIVIDED, HEALING WILL NOT BE IN the

house.

>> Come on, somebody. I I just feel I I

feel like I ain't mad at nobody. I'm

just mad at the devil. And you'll find

out why in just a few moments cuz I want

to let you know the enemy has talked us

out of our victory because he's allowed

us to get against each other other. But

in the name of Jesus, we will not have

that in this house. We will operate in

unity. I will pray FOR EVERY PASTOR IN

MY COUNTY. I'LL PRAY FOR EVERY PASTOR IN

MY STATE. I'LL PRAY FOR every pastor in

THIS NATION AND THE WORLD. YOU KNOW WHY?

CUZ I'M NOT WORRIED IF THEY'RE GOING TO

OUTDO ME. I HOPE THEY DO OUTDO ME CUZ I

NEED THE CHURCH TO RISE AND I NEED THE

DEVIL TO LOSE. I NEED PEOPLE TO ESCAPE

HELL AND MAKE IT TO HEAVEN. AND I NEED

MY TEAM TO WIN. COME ON. IS ANYBODY ON

TEAM JESUS THIS MORNING? I DARE YOU TO

GIVE GOD A LITTLE PRAISE. Y'ALL LISTEN.

We're pattaking A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WISH

I HAD SOME FOLK THAT WOULD JUMP TO YOUR

FEET AND GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE FOR THE

CAPITOL C CHURCH THAT'S ABOUT TO RISE IN

THESE LAST DAYS. I DON'T WANT TO MISS

IT.

For we wrestle not against flesh and

blood, but watch this, against

powers,

against principalities and rulers of the

darkness of this age, against spiritual

hosts of wickedness in heavenly places.

We have to understand our battle is not

with people. Our battle is for people.

>> We are battling for their soul. And

understand this. He said this in verse

13. THEREFORE, TAKE UP THE WHOLE armor

of God that you may to withstand in the

evil day and having done all to stand.

Our enemy isn't flesh and blood. It

isn't people. But our ENEMY IS THE DEVIL

and spiritual wickedness, demonic

activity. AND WATCH THIS. OUR GREATEST

BATTLE IS NEVER WITH PEOPLE. BECAUSE

PAUL REMINDS US of that. That Satan is

our enemy. Not flesh and blood, but

spiritual wickedness, principalities,

all these demonic forces. And many

believers spend their time AND THEIR

LIVES FIGHTING THE WRONG ENEMY BECAUSE

THE enemy has tricked them into thinking

that if he can get them to fight against

other people, THEN THEY'LL NEVER FIGHT

THE SPIRIT THAT'S ACTUALLY BEHIND THE

ATTACK AND WIN IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. BUT

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, BEFORE WE CAN

HAVE A BATTLE THAT is won, YOU HAVE TO

IDENTIFY who the enemy is. People are

not our enemy AT LIBERTY CULTURE. THEY

ARE OUR ASSIGNMENT and we WILL FOREVER

BATTLE FOR THE SOULS OF MEN and women.

But watch this. We understand this in

partiality now. But when we get to

heaven, we will really understand it was

a spiritual attack.

That it was a spiritual battle the

entire time. AND THE ENEMY IS ALL ABOUT

CONFUSION

because if he can confuse people into

thinking that one way is right when it's

really wrong, you can GO BACK TO

SCRIPTURE. WHAT JESUS SAID, he said when

they believe the light in the when they

believe the darkness in them is actually

light, how gross is that darkness. In

other words, they have fallen INTO

DECEPTION AND DEPRAVITY AND NOW THEY ARE

believing the lie that they have told

theirel AND THEY'RE NOT OPERATING THE

FULL KINGDOM POWER AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

BUT TODAY, I'm calling a church today

and looking at you and saying, "Listen,

we're not going to operate in deception.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO OPERATE FROM DEFEAT.

BUT WE WILL OPERATE from unity and

through breakthrough and through victory

because we're about to see some folk GET

SAVED IN THIS HOUSE THAT YOU NEVER EVEN

THOUGHT WOULD COME IN THE DOOR. BUT

BLESSED be the name of the Lord. I

BELIEVE THERE'S ENOUGH POWER IN THE

GOSPEL TO LET THEM KNOW, I KNOW YOU

WALKED IN BOUND. YOU WALKED IN BROKEN,

BUT LISTEN TO ME, SIR. LISTEN TO ME,

MA'AM. JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME

YESTERDAY, TODAY, and forever. AND IF HE

SET ME FREE, GUESS WHAT HE CAN DO FOR

YOU? HE CAN SET YOU FREE FROM EVERYTHING

THE ENEMY HAS HAD YOU BOUND WITH. AND

TODAY, WE RISE IN VICTORY THROUGH THE

POWER OF THE GOSPEL.

But we have to understand after

identifying the enemy, we must recognize

where he most often attacks our life.

Because the truth is this morning, every

believer will experience a wilderness

season.

Every believer in here, you say, "Well,

pastor, I was excited when you was

talking about us seeing victory and all

that stuff." Well, watch the process.

Before you can get to victory, you got

to go through the wilderness.

Before you can get to the blessing, you

got to go through some ridicule. Come

on, somebody. Because we understand that

every believer experiences wilderness

seasons. They may look like this. dry

seasons when it comes to our

relationship with the Lord, confusion

seasons, lonely seasons, uncertain

seasons, or seasons of testing. But let

me let me digress just a little bit and

let you understand that it's not a

matter of if you go through seasons of

wilderness times, but it is when you go

through those wilderness seasons that

you've got to know who your God is.

>> You've got to be certain who your God

is. You've got to be certain about what

your calling is and what God's plan is

and his purpose is for your life.

Because if we're uncertain, then the

enemy's voice will be inserted in those

wilderness seasons for you to hear him.

Come on. Because here's what I know. The

enemy rarely speaks when things are

going good.

Oh yeah.

Cuz good luck telling me that things are

going to fall apart.

Come on, somebody.

Good luck TELLING ME THAT WHEN

EVERYTHING'S going my way that hey,

everything's going to fix and crumble.

The enemy, he he knows I ain't

listening. Nothing you got to say.

But let me tell YOU WHERE THE ENEMY DOES

speak and poke his ugly fat nose.

Can I say that again? Ugly fat nose. I

think that's all right. His big ugly fat

nose. He speaks in places of transition

and places of exchange

and in wilderness seasons that we walk

through

because every one of those promote a

certain amount of uncertainty. And he

knows if he's ever going to get your

attention, he's got to speak when you're

not fully certain about where you're

stepping.

Come on.

There's some people in this room that

are right there right now. Pastor, you

say, "I I've been going through that in

my job. I've been going through that in

my family. I've been going through that

in my health, and I'm really unsure of

what's going on. My money doesn't look

like it used to look, and it's

uncertain. I feel like I'm going between

this and that, AND IT FEELS LIKE A

WILDERNESS SEASON. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

THE VOICE OF GOD. HE'S NOT SPEAKING. I

HAVEN'T HEARD HIM. AND THERE ARE THINGS

GOING ON THAT I'M UNCERTAIN OF." THE

ENEMY LOVES TO GET IN the middle of

that.

BECAUSE IF HE CAN FIND YOU IN AN

UNCERTAIN PLACE, HE'S got a chance to

convince you that what you have is not

really what you should have. Oh, come

on. HE WANTS TO INSERT HIMSELF INTO A

spot to where he can bring confusion to

your heart. But today, I want to put the

enemy on notice and let you know that

you may be in a wilderness season. You

may be in transition this morning. You

may be in a PLACE OF EXCHANGE. BUT WHAT

I WANT TO TELL YOU IS THAT GOD has not

changed. He is the same yesterday,

today, and forever. His promises have

not LEFT YOUR LIFE. HIS PROMISES ARE YES

AND AMEN. CAN I GET SOME FAITH INSIDE OF

SOMEBODY TODAY AND LET YOU KNOW THAT I

KNOW THE ENEMY'S BEEN WHISPERING OVER

HERE, BUT I'm going to tell you, GREATER

IS HE THAT'S IN YOU THAN HE THAT'S IN

THE WORLD. AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO RISE

UP AGAIN AND SAY, "DEVIL, I DON'T CARE

WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY. I KNOW IN WHOM I

HAVE BELIEVED, AND I AM PERSUADED THAT

he is able." Look at your neighbor. Tell

him, "I'm persuaded."

I know we ain't supposed to tell people

that. We ain't supposed to look over to

our neighbor and all that stuff. That's

against all preaching policy, but maybe

it will wake us up to understand that

the enemy has a plan. The enemy has a

desire and the enemy wants to bring

confusion. But I want you to understand

that even when you're walking through

wilderness seasons. It may not BE

ORCHESTRATED BY GOD. WHAT? OR BY THE

ENEMY HIMSELF, IT MAY be a wilderness

season orchestrated by our father in

heaven. Watch this. Because the

wilderness IS NOT EVIDENCE THAT God has

left you. The wilderness is often where

God prepares you. Come on, somebody. Oh,

can I can I just preach to myself for

just a moment? Y'all just hang tight

over there on that side. Let me get over

here and let me read that one more time

because that's so good. The wilderness

is not evidence that God has left you.

The wilderness is often where God

prepares you. And it prepares us to the

point that he is preparing us and say,

"I know what you're feeling. I know the

pressure is intense. I know what you're

having to walk through. I know the

voices you're having to tune out and all

that stuff. And you say, "Well, I WANT

TO GET TO MY final destination." But God

really knows if you can handle the

wilderness, you can handle the ultimate

purpose he has FOR YOU. SO, HE'S got to

take you through the VALLEY OF THE

SHADOW OF DEATH AND MAKE YOU TO A POINT

WHERE I FEAR NO EVIL BECAUSE I KNOW MY

GOD HAS NEVER LEFT ME. CAN I SPEAK SOME

FAITH TO A MAMA TODAY AND A DADDY TODAY

THAT GOT A DOCTOR'S REPORT? I KNOW IT

LOOKS DIM RIGHT NOW AND YOU MAY BE

WALKING THROUGH A WILDERNESS, BUT LET ME

TELL YOU, GOD HAS NOT LEFT YOU. HE'S NOT

ABANDONED YOU. HE'S RIGHT THERE WITH

YOU. IS ANYBODY BEAR WITNESS WITH WHAT

PASTOR'S PREACHING? I DECLARE IT'S THERE

TO PREPARE YOUR LIFE.

>> THE WILDERNESS EVEN IS NOT THERE TO

DEFEAT YOU, but it's there to strengthen

you for what God has in the next season.

Many times we get right in the middle of

it and we say God why am I having to go

through what I'm going through which is

a legitimate question that we all should

ask because we don't want to just walk

through life and just say whatever

happens happens we want to have

understanding of why God is bringing me

through what I'm going through and he

may not give you full understanding at

the very beginning but what I can tell

you is over time he will reveal his

purposes to you if you remain faithful

to him and he will reveal his ultimate

design for your life but here's the fact

here's what we have to understand Even

through all of that, if I don't have the

full picture or I do, if I'm in an

exchange season, if I'm in a a a season

of wilderness, it doesn't matter. I have

to put my trust IN SOMETHING OR SOMEONE.

AND THE FACT IS TODAY, WE have a choice

to put OUR TRUST IN GOD OR THE ENEMY.

Watch what happened in the garden

whenever when the Lord created all that

set Adam and even order. He said,

"Listen, everything in here is

permissible. Just don't touch the the

tree in the middle.

Don't touch that tree. Can I tell you

that was a place that when they walk by

it, they probably wonder, I wonder why I

can't touch the tree. I want that fruit

looks so good. WHY CAN'T WHY CAN'T AND

THEN guess what happened in the middle

of their exchange?

Someone else's voice entered the

conversation.

Partly because I feel like the enemy

couldn't stand that there were people

that God created that were in complete

and holy fellowship with him and he had

been kicked out of heaven

because every time he saw Adam and Eve,

he realized what he lost.

>> So he decided, I'm going to step in and

I'm going to bring my voice into the

conversation. Watch this. When you've

already heard God's voice and you know

what he said and somebody comes in and

says something like this, did God really

say,

you don't have to even pray about that,

baby? Come on. Some of y'all look at me

like, what you talking about? If the in

if you know God said you are healed and

somebody comes in and says, I I put this

sickness on you and you're going to be

bound by this for the rest of your life

or your children are never going to get

saved. You look at them and say, who do

you think you are?

>> It's the truth. You have to have a

backbone spiritually to look at the

enemy and recognize that his desire is

to get you to QUESTION WHAT GOD HAS

ALREADY SAID. AND THAT'S why when you

get down to Genesis 3 and verse number

11, YOU HEAR GOD SAY AFTER THEY'VE

ALREADY PARTAKEN of the fruit from the

tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

the Lord comes in the cool of the day

again and asked them a QUESTION AND

SAID, "WHO TOLD YOU THIS?"

SO GOD IS ASKING THE QUESTION IN THE

garden after they have already eaten and

they knew AND THEY HID. HE SAID, "WHO

TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED?" Come on.

THAT WAS THE QUESTION HE ASKED THEM. WHO

TOLD YOU THIS? WHO REVEALED? WHY?

BECAUSE GOD WAS NOT ASKING A QUESTION

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER. HE

WAS ASKING THE QUESTION TO GET THEM TO

REVEAL WHO THE ORIGINATOR OF THE

deception really was. SO THEY WOULD

UNDERSTAND GOD DID NOT HAVE IT OUT

AGAINST ME. IT WAS THE SERPENT THAT

WANTED TO DESTROY my life.

You'all tracking with me?

Because here's what I want you to

understand.

The question that we have to grapple

with today is who told you what you

believe?

WHO WHO TOLD YOU WHAT YOU BELIEVE? And

the understanding WOULD BE, WELL, YES,

GOD. UH, YES, PASTOR. I go back to the

word of God, and that's where I put my

full faith and trust. But if we're

really honest, there are a lot of times

we listen to other voices other than

God's word. And I'm not here to point at

you. I'm not here to to to to lay blame

on you. I'm here to say that every one

of us are guilty of that because we are

human beings. But what I'm calling you

out of today is dependence upon other

voices and put our dependence back on

the voice from heaven. His name is Jesus

Christ. AND IF HE'S ALREADY SAID IT,

guess what, BABY? IT IS SETTLED forever

in heaven. And there's nothing the enemy

CAN DO TO STOP WHAT GOD DESIRES TO DO IN

MY LIFE. Understand this that in Matthew

Matthew chapter 4, we see this beautiful

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

picture play out of a of a cadence back

and forth between Jesus and Satan.

Because if you read the very beginning

of that, the Bible says that Jesus was

driven into the wilderness by the

spirit.

It was originated by the spirit of God,

not just so he can prove how powerful he

was, but so that you and I can have

examples of how to fight the enemy

today. Because watch what happened. We

see this uh so many times. We we notice

the temptations and we read over this

and we see what's going on. But I want

you to understand the enemy will always

attack your identity because that is the

quickest way to get your eyes off the

assignment or mission. Because I want

you to understand what he said. Satan

looked at Jesus and said, "If you are

the son of God," now watch JESUS HAD

ALREADY HEARD HIS FATHER SAY JUST A

SHORT TIME BEFORE, "This is my beloved

son in whom I am well pleased." HE SAID

THESE are voices THAT HE'S ALREADY

HEARD, BUT NOW HE'S IN THE WILDERNESS

season and he hears THE ENEMY SAY, "IF

YOU ARE THE SON of God,

>> JESUS ALREADY HEARD HE WAS THE BELOVED

SON." BUT THE DEVIL QUESTION WHAT THE

FATHER HAD ALREADY SETTLED through his

voice.

>> And I want you to understand, the enemy

is going TO QUESTION WHAT GOD HAS

ALREADY SPOKEN AND solidified in your

life.

HE WILL NEVER COME AND COME AGAINST YOUR

LIFE AND THINGS that that that HAVE

ALREADY BEEN OR MAY BE articulated later

on. He will come and HE WILL COMBAT

WHAT'S ALREADY been spoken over your

life. I want you to understand the

enemy's the enemy attacks rather

identity because your identity

determines how effective you are in your

assignment.

If you don't know you're a child of God,

you are going to have a hard time

operating in the kingdom.

Come on, somebody. If you don't know

that God saved you, you're going to have

a hard time praising him when

everything's going wrong. Come on. Isn't

the truth, right? We're we're going to

have a hard time. But the question the

the an the enemy's desire and design is

to rather MAKE US QUESTION WHO WE ARE.

Who we are. He'll be begin questioning

those things. HE BEGIN QUESTIONING

THINGS LIKE WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?

BECAUSE IDENTITY AFFECTS your

assignment. Watch this. Satan attacks

your identity because he fears your

assignment.

He's attacking your identity today

BECAUSE HE FEARS WHERE GOD IS TAKING

YOU. AND SO, I'VE GOT TO COME AND land

in THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW AND LET YOU

KNOW YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS GREATER THAN

EVEN YOU think it is.

>> Oh, come on. I got three people. Come

on. Thank you, brother Dexter, right

there. I feel that in my spirit. Your

assignment is greater than even what you

think it is this morning. You say,

"Well, I just I'm here to exist and warm

a chair." I've got news for you. your

your assignment is not just to warm a

chair. Thank God you are this morning

because that gives me somebody to preach

to. Come on, somebody and somebody to

give the message to. But what I'll tell

you is that is not the full total of

your assignment. Your assignment is to

operate in the kingdom authority that

God gave you and let you know that no

matter what the enemy throws against

your life, greater is he that's in you

than he that's in the world. We will

determine with all of our heart, AS FOR

ME AND MY HOUSE, we will serve the Lord.

We will serve the Lord. Look at your

neighbor. Tell him, "My mind is made

up." Yes, it is. My mind is made up that

I will not give in to what the enemy is

and his desire because of fear that he

tries to project on my life. And notice

I say he tries to project on our life.

The fact is the enemy cannot inflict

fear on you.

Fear is a spirit.

And if the Holy Spirit lives on the

inside of me, and he does, when the

spirit of fear tries to visit my life,

the Holy Spirit will rise up and say,

"Wait a second. We're not going down

that road." Oh, come on, somebody. I

refuse to go down that road. I refuse to

let the spirit of fear come and get on

my life because my mind is made up. I'm

not going to take something that God

didn't give to me. Oh, I feel the Holy

Spirit right there. I refuse to receive

anything from the enemy that God did not

give to me in the first place. My mind

is made up that if GOD DIDN'T GIVE IT TO

ME, I REFUSE IT. If God didn't give me

the spirit of fear, I REFUSE IT. BUT

WHAT I WILL RECEIVE is the spirit of

joy, the spirit of peace, the spirit OF

ADOPTION, AND I'LL CRY ABA father in

every situation AND KNOW THAT IF GOD PUT

ME HERE, THEN GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

IF I'M RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A

WILDERNESS SEASON, GOD WILL NOT FAIL ME.

NOW, CAN I GET A WITNESS IN THE HOUSE?

HOW MANY SAY, "I KNOW GOD DID IT BEFORE.

AND IF GOD DID IT BEFORE, I CAN TRUST

HIS WORD. I CAN TRUST HIS VOICE. I CAN

TRUST HIS PROMISE. HE WILL DO IT AGAIN."

1 2 3. GIVE HIM praise in the house.

WE'VE GOT TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF

JESUS. AND WHAT WAS THE EXAMPLE OF Jesus

in Matthew 4:es 1-1? You go back, read

it yourself, but every time the enemy

brought him a temptation, what did Jesus

do? He said, "Satan, it is written."

>> Come on. You say, "Well, he was the

word." Yes, he was the word and he could

have just put his hand up and put a stop

TO ALL OF IT. BUT AGAIN, it wasn't just

about him getting victory. IT WAS SO IN

2026 ON THE SECOND HALF OF THIS YEAR

that he I can stand here and LOOK AT YOU

AND SAY, "IF JESUS OVERCAME, BABY, THEN

YOU AND I CAN OVERCOME THE SAME WAY BY

LOOKING AT THE ENEMY AND SAYING, "IT IS

WRITTEN, SATAN. I'VE GOT POWER OVER THE

DEVIL. I'VE GOT POWER OVER DEMONIC

FORCES BECAUSE OF WHO LIVES ON THE

inside of me. Somebody holler, "It is

written."

>> Oh, you got to shout a little louder.

Say, "It is written."

>> Because watch this. Feelings don't do

not defeat intimidation. Opinions do not

defeat intimidation. WILLPOWER, AS

STRONG AS you are, will not defeat

intimidation. The only thing that will

break intimidation and defeat it is THE

WORD OF GOD OVER YOUR LIFE AND ACTIVE.

Because watch this. THE WORD OF GOD IS

POWERFUL AND it is sharper than any

two-edged sword. Meaning this, IT CUTS

GOING IN and it cuts coming out. THE

ENEMY THINKS IT HURT THE FIRST TIME, BUT

WAIT TILL I PULL IT BACK AND THROW

ANOTHER DART AT HIM. COME ON. I DECLARE

I'M GOING TO SPEAK THE WORD OVER MY

FAMILY. I'M GOING TO SPEAK BLESSING OVER

MY FAMILY. I'M GOING TO SPEAK BLESSING

OVER MY CHURCH. WE WILL EXPERIENCE

REVIVAL INSIDE OF LIBERTY CULTURE CHURCH

LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I JUST

NEED A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE TO GET WITH

YOUR PASTOR AND SAY IT IS WRITTEN. IT IS

PROMISED. WE WILL RECEIVE IT IN JESUS

NAME. 1 2 3 give him praise in the

house.

Is my heart is this is that we will

understand the power that is in the word

of God to defeat the spirit of fear and

intimidation off of our life. Because

watch this. Not only when he said, "It

is written," did it bring victory to the

life of Christ in the middle of the

wilderness by breaking intimidation, but

ultimately gave you and I victory

through the pattern that Jesus set

forth. Because understand, the battle

did not end when Jesus defeated the

devil. Then the battle still remains

today. Each one of us are tied up in the

battle and the enemy will try to trick

our minds into thinking that his lies

and the intimidation and the voice of

others may be true and may be may

override what God has spoken over our

life. Because watch this, the enemy

still whispers. His lies sound like

this. You are not enough. You're

disqualified because of what you've

done. You're too broken to BE USED BY

GOD. YOU'LL NEVER RECOVER FROM what the

enemy has DONE AGAINST YOU. GOD can't

use you. You're alone. Nobody's with

you. EVERYBODY'S LEFT YOU. HE SAID,

"YOU'LL BE DEFEATED." This is the voice

of the enemy. And these voices may come

from people. They can come from

circumstances OF LIFE. THEY CAN COME

FROM THE CULTURE OUTSIDE OF THIS

BUILDING. THEY CAN COME FROM MEMORIES.

AND THEY CAN COME FROM FEAR. BUT I'VE

GOT GOOD NEWS THIS MORNING. NONE of

these voices outrank THE VOICE OF GOD IN

OUR LIFE. OH MY GOD. GOD HAS ALREADY

AFFIRMED. GOD HAS ALREADY CALLED YOU.

AND GOD HAS ALREADY EQUIPPED YOU. So I

declare TO YOU, DON'T ALLOW THE ENEMY TO

REWRITE WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY WRITTEN ON

YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR LIFE AND FOR YOUR

FUTURE. I DECLARE TO YOU, THE DEVIL IS A

LIAR. I REFUSE TO LET SATAN REWRITE WHAT

GOD PUT IN MY HEART. I WISH I HAD SOME

FOLK THAT WOULD PRAISE HIM FOR THE FACT

THAT GOD'S BEEN FAITHFUL BEFORE. HE'LL

BE FAITHFUL AGAIN.

He'll be faithful again. Now watch this.

And I'm almost done.

Get my get my musicians up here. Help me

out. You stay right there. But everybody

else get up here. Let's go. Timothy was

instructed by Paul himself. And watch

this. Paul wasn't sitting on the beach

sipping his virgin pina colada. Can I

get a witness?

Many people think that Paul was sitting

in his office at his house with all

kinds of great things and he was pinning

these words down to Timothy. But the

fact is Paul was writing this letter

while he was in prison. He was shackled

not to possess. He was telling Timothy,

young Timothy, not to possess a spirit

of timidity or fear or intimidation that

the enemy desires to give him, but to

literally stand in power, love, AND

SOUND MIND. NOW, WHY WOULD PAUL WRITE

THIS LETTER TO Timothy in this season of

his life, knowing that he was in prison

himself? HE KNEW THAT TIMOTHY WAS NOT

DEALING WITH JUST A casual enemy that

was coming against his heart. And that's

why this spirit, this scripture began to

speak to my heart this morning because I

understand for the assignment and the

purpose that God has for Liberty

Culture. WE'RE NOT JUST FACING a casual

enemy in this house.

>> All right, I got about five people with

me. I'm going to say this again. How

many believe we're not facing a casual

enemy?

>> All right, I got 50%. We're going to try

it one more time. Yes, I am waiting for

a response on this one. How many believe

we're not facing a casual enemy in this

house?

And listen, I'm not here TO PRAISE THE

ENEMY, BUT I'M HERE TO bring awareness

to you and wake you up to the fact that

we are in a battle for this region. WE

ARE IN A BATTLE FOR THIS COMMUNITY. And

if we DON'T STEP UP NOW, THEN WE MAY

LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY to have another

generation experience Pentecost. I

believe at youth camp, it's about to

break bad in that place. AND WE'RE ABOUT

TO see some young people full OF THE

HOLY GHOST. THEY'RE GOING TO TASTE AND

SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. I JUST NEED SOME

FOLK TO PROPHESY WITH ME AND SAY, "FILL

THEM WITH THE HOLY GHOST.

FILL them with the Holy Ghost." My heart

is this that just like Timothy was

receiving instructions from Paul, I want

to give instructions to each one of us

in this house today as a spiritual

father. The fact is that Timothy was not

facing a casual enemy, but Timothy was

he was facing intimidation from false

teachers inside of Ephesus. He was

facing the pressure from persecution

from the world around him for standing

for righteousness. He was even facing

the emotional weight of Paul's

imprisonment and absence. He was facing

THE SUFFERING OF FOR THE GOSPEL KNOWING

THAT THIS PRESSURE was intense that

every time he opened HIS MOUTH THAT NOT

EVERYBODY was going to like what Timothy

had to say.

Come on, somebody. He he he was facing

this opposition, not a casual enemy of

insecurity in his own leadership and

saying, "Am I really good enough to

stand here and lead this great church in

Ephesus, he was even facing the

possibility of fear and intimidation

because of his younger age that he had."

And I want you to understand that even

while Timothy is under this pressure,

PAUL DID NOT WRITE BACK TO HIM AND SAY,

"OH, TIMOTHY, I'm so sorry you're facing

this."

Even though it probably would have been

nice for Timothy to open a letter and

say, "Son, I just want you to know I

love you so much.

You're doing such a great job.

YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE SO YOU'RE SO

WONDERFUL, TIMOTHY. Matter of fact, I

got the transcript from your last series

of messages and I'm going to repreach

them right here in the prison."

TIMOTHY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOVED THE

LITTLE AFFIRMATION, a little

encouragement that morning, BUT THAT'S

NOT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE WHEN HE OPENED

THAT. PAUL DIDN'T SAY, "I UNDERSTAND

WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH." NO. PAUL'S

ANSWER WAS, "STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD

THAT'S IN YOU." OH, come on. Oh my God.

I I just I I'm going to Can I just

preach right here for somebody in the

room and let you know that Paul didn't

TELL HIM I UNDERSTAND. HE SAID, "STIR UP

THE GIFT OF GOD." HE SAID, "FAN INTO

FLAME WHAT WAS PUT INSIDE OF YOU BY THE

laying on of my hands." HE SAID, "GOD

HAS NOT GIVEN YOU THE SPIRIT OF FEAR,

but of power, love, AND SOUND MIND. AND

I'VE come to look at you today AND SAY,

"I'M PRAYING FOR YOU. I'M BELIEVING FOR

YOU." BUT I'M NOT HERE TO SAY, "OH, WOE

IS US." BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IN THE

NAME OF JESUS, LIBERTY CULTURE, STIR UP

THE GIFT OF GOD THAT'S WITHIN YOU. COME

ON. WE GOT TO STIR UP PENTECOST ONE MORE

TIME AND SAY, "I DECLARE THAT THE ENEMY

MAY TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT, BUT I'M

GOING TO STIR IT UP. I'M GOING TO STIR

UP MY PRAISE. I'M GOING TO STIR UP MY

WORSHIP. I'M GOING TO STIR UP EVERY PART

OF MY LIFE. IF IT'S IN ME, STIR IT UP

TODAY THROUGH HIS POWER AND his grace.

Now, HE SAID, "STIR UP THE GIFT THAT'S

IN YOU." Look at your neighbor, say,

"Stir it up." Oh, I feel the Holy Spirit

in this house this morning because I

believe something's about to shift in

this room. If y'all give me seven more

minutes, I will be done. I'll get out

your way and let you go eat lunch today.

But I'm going to tell you, God did not

call us in here to say, "Woe is us." And

oh my God, what are we going to do? Oh

no, no. The enemy may be attacking your

life as a family. The enemy may be

attacking YOUR MIND. HE MAY EVEN ATTACK

YOUR PHYSICAL BODY, YOUR FINANCES, YOUR

BUSINESS. BUT I'VE come to tell you,

STIR UP THE GIFT THAT PUT IT IN PLACE IN

THE FIRST PLACE. STIR UP THE GIFT OF

GOD. F INTO FLAME EVERYTHING GOD HAS FOR

YOU. YOU'RE NOT CALLED TO HAVE A SPIRIT

OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND LOVE AND A

SOUND MIND.

Now look at your neighbor and tell them,

"Stir it up.

Stir it up. Stir it up. And here's what

I want you to understand. Many times we

have allowed the intimidation of the

enemy to smother the gifts in our life

because we are afraid what other people

are going to say.

We're afraid how other people are going

to react. We're afraid whether people

are going to receive us or not. Can I be

real? We're afraid people are going to

look at us like we're crazy. All right.

All right. I'll be honest with you. Can

I just be real? They already think

you're crazy for going to this church

anyway. So, you might as well be crazy.

Come on. Do I have any crazy folk in the

house that'll get crazy with pastor?

Matter of fact, that that next little

slide right there, I want you I want you

to put that up. Don't don't let the

enemy or don't allow the intimidation to

smother God's gift inside of you. I

refuse to let the enemy smother the gift

inside of me as your pastor because I

believe you have family, you have

friends, you have people that you

haven't even come in contact with yet

that are bound by the enemy and in the

name of Jesus in this next season. We're

about to see them set free by the power

of God. I will never forget, brother

Keith, when you gave your testimony up

here and said you tried everything the

world had to offer and listen, you never

found anything that would satisfy like

Jesus. That is THE HEART OF YOUR PASTOR

TODAY. THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS ABOUT

to happen IN THIS HOUSE. IT'S NOT GOING

TO THE ENEMY IS NOT GOING TO SATISFY.

BUT I BELIEVE IF THEY COME IN AND WE

INTRODUCE THEM TO THE NAME THAT'S ABOVE

EVERY NAME, THAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

THAT GIFT WILL NOT BE SMOTHERED. AND

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THEM COME TO THE

SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST.

And I believe this. I still believe in

laying on hands of people and seeing

them healed of sickness.

And I am crazy enough to believe that

God's fixing to heal some folk in this

house.

I I believe this. Um where where's

Johnny's mom? Where you at? Oh, sorry.

There you are. Right there. Johnny's mom

and dad. Both of y'all here. I want both

of y'all to stand to your feet right

now. I want both of you to raise your

hands to heaven. They've been getting

doctor's reports saying things over

Johnny that his lungs are not going to

uh continue to develop and they're going

to stay right where they're at or even

progress and get worse. But how many you

love Johnny? Come on. Some of you that

know Johnny. Y'all love our Johnny. But

I declare in the name of Jesus, raise

those hands. If there's somebody close

to them, lay hands on them in the name

of Jesus. I declare over Johnny's body,

Lord, if you created it right there, I

believe that you can I believe you can

do something in his body right now. I

believe you could take the lungs that

are not developed and the lungs that are

trying to dissect or decrease, God. And

I declare that you will increase his

capacity. I declare, Lord, it will never

affect him. I declare that transplant

will never be a word that has to cross

our lips or be on paper, God. I declare

that in the name of Jesus, THERE IS

NOTHING too hard for you. And we stand

in agreement TODAY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO

DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT

WE CAN ASK, THINK, or expect. And I

believe in the NAME OF JESUS THAT YOU'RE

ABLE TO TOUCH HIM. GOD, RELEASE THE GIFT

OF HEALING. RELEASE THE POWER OF

HEALING. GOD, I BELIEVE IT'S a

children's bread. And we SPEAK IT NOW

WHILE HE'S IN HIS CHURCH. HEAL HIS BODY

IN JESUS NAME. IF YOU BELIEVE IT, GIVE

GOD PRAISE IN THE HOUSE FOR HIS HEALING

POWER.

OH, COME ON. CAN WE JUMP TO OUR FEET AND

GIVE GOD PRAISE FOR HIS HEALING POWER?

I'M CRAZY ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN

DO IT.

HALLELUJAH.

NOW,

in the name of Jesus, I'm going to say

this. Who told you

what? WHO TOLD YOU WHAT to believe?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOUR EYES SHOULD BE

OPEN? WHO WHO TOLD YOU THAT? And I begin

to think about what the Holy Spirit

would speak over our hearts and our

lives and the example of Jesus. And

watch this. Your assignment is greater

than your fear.

Your assignment is greater than your

fear. God did not give you a spirit that

backs down from the assignment he gave

you. Jesus broke through in the

wilderness. Watch this. Timothy broke

through in Ephesus. The church has

broken through on Pentecost. And guess

what? Now you and your family will break

through in Jesus' name. Come on. Your

breakthrough is coming. Your healing is

coming. Come on. Your deliverance IS

COMING. A WAY IS GOING TO BE MADE. YOUR

PURPOSE IS GOING TO BE revealed through

his power. God never gives assignments

without giving grace. He never calls

people he hasn't already provided a way

for.

That is reassurance to my heart because

then

I go to the voice that I want to listen

to. And what voice is that, pastor?

That's this word.

So, can I just take you to the voice God

gave me this morning? Let's go to

Colossians chapter number two if you

would. Maybe we got that. I don't know

if we got it or not. If not, I can look

it up real fast. Colossians. Oh, there

it is. Colossians chapter number two.

It's in the Passion translation. So,

just bear with me. It's a little more

lengthy, a little more descriptive, but

it said he canled out every legal

violation we had on our record and the

old arrest warrant that stood to indict

us. I don't know about you, but I'm

thankful for that right there. How many

thankful that God canled everything the

enemy said over your life? Oh my God. He

erased it all. Our sins, our stained

soul, he deleted IT ALL AND THEY CANNOT

be retrie. OH MY GOD. I SAID THEY CANNOT

BE RETRIEVED. YOU AIN'T GOT TO WORRY

ABOUT NOBODY digging up your past BABY

BECAUSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THEY

CANNOT BE FOUND. EVERYTHING WE ONCE WERE

IN ADAM HAS BEEN PLACED ONTO HIS CROSS

AND NOW PERMANENTLY THERE AS A PUBLIC

DISPLAY of cancellation. NOW FLIP OVER

TO THE NEXT ONE. THEN JESUS MADE A

PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF ALL POWERS AND

PRINCIPALITIES OF DARKNESS, STRIPPING

AWAY FROM THEM EVERY WEAPON AND ALL

THEIR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY AND POWER TO

ACCUSE US. AND BY THE POWER OF THE

CROSS, JESUS LED THEM AROUND AS

PRISONERS. IN A PROCESSION OF TRIUMPH,

HE WAS NOT THEIR PRISONER. THEY WERE

HIS. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I DON'T CARE

WHO TOLD YOU. I'VE GOT GOD'S WORD ON IT.

YOU ARE VICTORIOUS THIS MORNING. 1 2 3.

GIVE HIM PRAISE IN THE HOUSE.

You are victorious.

The devil, believe it or not,

has dis has been disarmed at Calvary.

He does not have the power

to induce fear or pain on your life.

Come on, somebody.

Why do you think he had to approach the

throne and ask for permission to touch

Job?

Because he didn't have the power.

And guess what? He still doesn't have

the power. Come, anybody thankful for

that today? Can we give God praise? Come

on. I I believe I believe in praising.

YOUR VICTORY MAY BE IN YOUR NEXT PRAISE,

BABY. I say you say, "Well, I'M

UNCOMFORTABLE PRAISING." IT'S TIME TO

GET COMFORTABLE BECAUSE JESUS IS ABOUT

TO RETURN AND WE GOING TO BE PRAISING

FOR ETERNITY. COME ON AND PRAISE HIM,

CHILD OF GOD. WE HAVE THE VICTORY.

Jesus did and still is leading the devil

around in a procession of triumph.

And if he declared with some of his last

words, "Greater work shall you do than

this because I go to my father, then

guess what? I got the devil on a leash

this morning and I'm parading him around

saying, "Look at what the Lord defeated

in my life." Come on. I'm parading

around cancer today and saying, "Look

what the look." Woo! Come on. I feel the

Holy Ghost IN THIS HOUSE. SOME of you

need to parade the enemy right out OF

THIS PLACE THIS MORNING AND SAY, "I KNOW

THAT I HAD HEART DISEASE BEFORE. I HAD

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE BEFORE, BUT LOOK

WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE. I KNOW MY FAMILY

WAS LOST, BUT I'M LEADING AROUND THE

ENEMY AND SAYING, "PUT HIM TO SHAME

TODAY. I'VE GOT VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY."

CAN WE GIVE HIM A VICTORY PRAISE IN THE

HOUSE FOR THE FACT THAT WE'RE LEADING

AROUND the enemy?

So I say, who told you that?

WHO TOLD YOU YOUR KIDS were not going to

get saved?

WHO TOLD YOU YOUR MIND WAS NOT GOING TO

REGULATE?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOUR MONEY WAS NEVER

going to get right again? WHO TOLD YOU

YOUR marriage was going to crumble? Come

on. Who told you that?

So, I've got a prophetic feeling in my

spirit that when you ask that question

that I believe the Lord is going to

reveal something in your heart and in

your life and in your future and let you

see with clear eyes today where the

enemy's deception has always been and

declare over your life that I refuse to

go the way that the enemy wants me to

go. I refuse to go down like everybody

else went down. I will not go down WITH

A SHIP, BUT I WILL RISE AND SAY,

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of

the Lord. Greater is he that's in me

than he that's IN THE WORLD." OH, COME

ON. I AM BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED.

OPEN UP YOUR DOORS AND SWING WIDE, YOU

HEAVENLY GAZE, AND LET THE king of glory

come in. So today, I say over your life

that the enemy has said a lot of things

to you in your wilderness season.

The truth is that if we approach this

from a carnal mindset or a mind mind

state, if we approached his voice with

carnality,

that we are very subject to believe what

he would say over our life. But today,

I'm asking you to come to a higher level

and not look at this thing through

carnal eyes, but look at this thing

through spirit eyes.

Who told you that? Guess what? If it's

leading to defeat, if it's leading to

sickness, if it's leading to brokenness,

if it's leading to divorce, the only

person that could tell me that is the

devil. But if it's leading to life and

blessing, come on, somebody and

abundance and grace that I choose to

believe the voice of the Lord today over

my life. And I will not listen to the

voice of the enemy. So all over this

house, every head bowed, every eye

closed, the voice that I choose to

listen to is the voice of God's word.

So today, we do not retreat. We don't

surrender.

We will not live intimidated.

And we do not allow fear to determine

our future. We are walking through this

wilderness season declaring we aren't

the enemy's prisoner. He is our

prisoner. Oh.

Oh. Can we raise our hands and thank God

for his power? Thank God for his

goodness. Thank God for his grace. Oh, I

declare it in the name of Jesus. I

declare in the name of Jesus that this

will not be the end. This will be the

beginning of something beautiful and

powerful. This will be the beginning of

something great and something amazing. I

declare in the name of Jesus, your

family's not going down. Your children

are not going down. Your health will not

fail you. I declare in the name of

Jesus, your money will turn around, sir.

Your money will turn around, ma'am. Your

children will not be lost. I declare to

you sir man that they will serve the

Lord. Put them on the altar. TRUST HIM

WITH THE HANDS OF GOD AND HE WILL TURN

THINGS AROUND when nobody else can do

it. So father in the name of Jesus in

this moment

who told us that the enemy tried to lie

to me. The enemy tried to put me in a

wilderness season and defeat me. But I

choose to say, "It is written."

Oh, it is written, "You shall worship

the Lord your God, and him only shall

you serve." I've got the enemy on a

leash today, parading him around, making

a show of him openly through the power

and grace and might of God. If you're in

this place

today and you say, "Pastor, I've been

walking through a wilderness season and

I need strength to make it through and

to see the expected end that God has for

me. I don't want to give up in it. I've

been hearing the voice of the enemy, but

yet I've already heard God's voice and I

I'm I'm having to distinguish between

the two. You're I'm right there with you

right now. And so I want to tell you,

you're not by yourself. But in this

moment, I implore you, hear the word of

the Lord that he has a plan for your

life. He has a purpose. He is not giving

up on you. And he has a plan. But today,

in exchange, in this moment of

transition, in this moment where the

enemy is speaking to you in the

wilderness, do not lend your ears to

him, but lend your ears to the heavenly

father who has a plan and purpose for

your life. Today, you can walk out of

here knowing that you're on the right

path, that you're in the right place,

that you're where God wants you to be,

but you've got to be willing to say yes

to the voice of the father and no to the

voice of the enemy. So, if you're in

this house, you say, "Pastor, I'm in

that wilderness season. I'm in that

place of exchange, that place of

transition. I need God to speak to me

one more time. I need to hear his voice

one more time." If that's you, and you

say, "I need you to pray for me." Just

raise your hand and say, "Pastor, pray

for me today." Come on. I see hands

going up all over this house. Hands

going up all over this house. My God, I

feel the Holy Spirit in this moment. I

want my prayer team to be prepared for

those that raise their hand cuz we're

going to go for broke. If you got to

leave, I I bless you in Jesus name. But

there's some in here that need some

breakthrough. Can I tell you Jesus had

breakthrough and today you're about to

have breakthrough, too. And I don't want

you to leave here without receiving that

breakthrough. If you raised your hand

and you say, "Pastor, I need help in

this wilderness season." I'm going to

tell you there's help right here at this

altar. So, without further ado, I'm

going to ask you to be brave. And if you

have to do it by yourself, do it by

yourself. Step out. Come to this altar

right now. You ready? 1 2 3. Come on.

Come on. With hands raised. Come to this

altar. I want my team to be ready. My

team to be ready to pray. I believe

God's about to break some folk through

right now. I believe he's going to do

it. When they come, you lay hands on

them. I believe that we're going to see

it. The gift of God is about to be

stirred up. What made us want to quit in

the first place? The wilderness season

that has wore us out. I DECLARE IT WILL

NOT be our demise. But in the name of

Jesus, we will stand. We will stand. WE

WILL NOT GIVE UP. WHO TOLD YOU THAT? I

DON'T CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE VOICE OF THE

ENEMY, BUT I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT of

the Lord. I WILL CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE

REPORT of the Lord. HALLELUJAH.

In the name In the name of Jesus. In the

name of Jesus. IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH.
