Peace'd Together // Missing Peace (Part 6) // Tim Ross

Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so

glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe

God will transform your life. Do today's message.

We have been in a series for the last six weeks.

Called the Missing Piece.

Every single week of this sermon, of this sermon series,

the Holy Spirit has given me something to preach that

I did not even write in the book. None of

these messages I've preached the last six weeks, the last

five weeks, can we give a shout out to Pastor Brie,

Pastor Bris. Pastor Bris all together held it down.

In week three.

That woman brought a message about Hagar that I will

not preach Hagar for eighteen months. I gotta let that

cool off. I'm glad the Bible is not a pamphlet.

There's other stuff I can preach because Breed took that down.

But the last six weeks we have been talking about

what it is to get our piece back, a piece

that Jesus promised, a piece that he gave God's according

to Saint John, chapter number fourteen, verse number twenty seven,

shaloam I leave you Shalom, I give to you, but

not as the world gives. So neither be thou troubled

or afraid. This peace was more than chill bumps on Sunday.

This peace was altogether meant to regulate your bodily nervous system.

Not that you wouldn't feel fear, not that you wouldn't

be anxious, but you would not trade that emotion for

the peace that you have. That you could literally be

calm while everybody else is crashing out to be completely unbothered,

what everybody else is unbothered, to be completely at peace

while everybody else is completely disrupted. He promised to give

us that, And that's why you saw the apostles in jail, unbothered, threatened, unbothered, killed, unbothered.

Do you know what kind of peace you gotta have

for somebody to say you're gonna die tomorrow and you say,

I'll see you in the morning. You know how confusing

that is to the executioner. Most people say up all

night crying and shivering and asking for the governor to

give him clemency. I'm in a win win situation. You

do understand it.

As a believer. You're in a win win situation.

If I live, amen, if I die, Amen, for it

to be absent from the body is to be present.

With the Lord. So I'm in a win win situation.

I come from the hood, so in the hood, our

life was under the rest and threat all the time.

I've been held at gunpoint, literally held at gunpoint. I've

been held at knife point, and I was scared. I

was a teenager that was like scary. I don't pray

for this now. I don't wish for it now, but

if it happens, I already have my script. As a

believer who has peace, I already have my script. If

somebody comes up to me points a gun in my face,

for I'm gonna que you right now. You know what

my response is gonna be, Do you have my father's permission?

It's a pointed unto man wants to die. And then

after that the judgment, do you have my father's permission?

And if you do, all you're gonna do is send

me home.

So you killing people today, I'm gonna be in glory today.

It changes your whole mindset.

So in this last message, I want we've talked about

what it's like to have to go fight for your

piece in these different circumstances, these different situations. In this

last message, I want you to know what it feels

like to have it back.

So if you have your Bibles, I want you.

To turn with me to the Book of Ezekiel, chapter

number thirty seven. The Book of Ezekiel, chapter number thirty seven.

This thing feels churchy.

It may not be churchy, but the way I hear

it in my head, it's just kind of hard. I

feel like preaching until people just jump in the water.

Is that.

Too much? That's the way I feel.

It might be one crazy person that's not even going

to wait on the like the baptism handlers, I don't

even know what you call them, the people in the

blue shirts.

It's like, make sure you get in there. They might

beat you into the water.

You're like, wait, legally I must be in there with you.

You seek your chapter number thirty seven. Here is what

the word of the Lord says. The hand of Adam.

I was upon me the ruoc ada, and I carried

me out and set me down in the middle of

the valley.

It was full of bones. He led me all around them.

Behold, there were very many on the floor of the valley.

Behold, they were very dry.

Then he said to me, son of man, can these

bones live? I answered, out a night Loheim.

You know what a smart answer. Prophesy over these bones.

He said to me, say to them, dry bones, hear

the word of out an eye.

Thus says out of.

Night Lohem, to these bones, behold, I will cause ruat

to enter you, so you will live. I will attach

tendons to you, bring flesh on you, and cover you

with skin. Then I will put breath in you.

You will live. There's a period after that.

There's no comment after that exclamation mark. After that, there's

no semi colon.

After that. You will live. You will know that I

am ad on nine. So I prophesied, just as I

was commanded.

As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold an earthquake.

Then the bones came together, bone to its bone. I saw,

and behold there were tendons on them. Flesh came up

and skin covered them above, but there was no breath

in them. Then he said to me, prophesy to the ruac,

that is the spirit. Prophesy, son of man, and say

to the ruac, Thus says Adam, night Loheim, come from

the four winds.

Ruac breathe upon these.

Slain that they may live. So I prophesied just as

I just as he commanded me. The Ruac came into them,

and they lived. They up on their feet.

A fast army.

That he said to me, son of man, these bones

are the house, the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say,

our bones are dried up. Our hope is lost. We

are cut off by ourselves. Therefore, prophesy and say to them,

thus says out of nigh Elohim. Behold, I will open

your graves. I will bring you up out of your graves,

my people. I will bring you back to the land

of Israel.

You will know that I am and nine.

When I have opened your graves and brought you up

out of your graves, my people, I will put my

ruoc in you and you will live.

I will place you in your own land. Then you

will know that I.

I don't I have spoken, and that I have done it.

It is a declaration about a nine.

If you're taking notes on this, two words pieced together.

The final message in this series is I want you

to have the testimony that you have been pieced together,

that everything from your past and your present has been

pieced together to give you a future that you can

testify about the glory of God in your life.

You have indeed been pieced together.

Let me pray and then we'll then we'll go into

the message. Holy Spirit, thank you for piecing us together.

In Jesus' name. Amen, before you take your sea, since

we real churchy today, I want you to high five

at least three people and tell them I've been pieced together.

I've been pieced together. I've been pieced together. I have

been pieced together. I have been pieced together. I have

been pieced together. I have been pieced together. It's too

late now, Devil, I've been pieced together. You should have

took me out while you had the chance, because now

I've just been piece together.

You should have caught me while I was still broken up.

It's too late now I've been pieced together. You had

all the opportunities you were ever going to have. Because

now that I've been pieced together, there's nothing you can

do about it. You know it real quick. I just

have a praise God in advance feeling inside of me

before you even hear what the Lord has to say.

If you already know that you are happy about being

pieced together? Can you just give a shout of praise

to the God of your salvation. See, He's done so

much in my life that I don't even have to

wait for anybody to set it off, anybody like me,

anybody that.

Was in the world.

And you didn't need to wait for anybody to set

it off. You were like, I'm going now. I just

felt that advanced praise for somebody that's in here.

That's like, I don't even need to hear the rest

of that.

I'm pieced together already. The enemy already took its best shot,

and I'm still here.

God already brought me out of.

The most traumatizing season of my life, and I am

still here.

I gotta praise, praise.

I got praise.

I gotta praise, I gotta pray.

I gotta give him a praise, Give him a praise

right then and there. Since you've got a praise and you.

Gotta let it out, there's no time like the present.

I'll get it out.

Right right now, right now, right now.

The prophet Ezekiel.

A major prophet in the Old Testament, not because he

was special, just because he wrote a lot the thinking

between the major prophets and the minor prophets is the

volume of the work that they were able to write

down and the experience that they were able to have.

Ezekiel has many dreams and visions, some of them to

this day very difficult to understand, very difficult to interpret,

very difficult to.

Try to extract meaning from.

But Ezekiel Chapter number thirty seven, for as long as

I have been alive, has been a chapter that people

run to when they are thinking about what it's like

to be lifted up out of bondage, what it's like

to be revived when you thought that you were dead.

We know that the literal vision and moment.

That Ezekiel has is a promise to Israel. I think

it's very important that we never run to scripture and

extract from it something for us without knowing who the

first person audience was. I'm glad that you have Jeremiah

twenty nine eleven written on your wrist.

Or highlighted in your Bible.

But just know he was talking to Israel before he

was talking to you. He was talking to a people

that he had made a promise to, and he was

going to make sure that that promise came to pass.

Ezekiel thirty seven is a prophetic word to the children

of Israel who have been in bondage and in captivity,

and they're given this word, a promise by out any

Elohem that they.

Will be brought back home.

But there's something about God giving a word to his

people that echoes throughout the tunnels of time and can

still resonate deeply with us.

Ezekiel is.

Taken up by God and he is dropped off by

God in a valley of dry bones. Ezeku's experience in

this valley is that they're not just a few bones

scattered around. This valley is littered with the bones of people.

That are long gone.

These are not decomposing bodies that he finds inside of

this valley. These are not people that just died that

are found in this valley. Ezekiel literally finds bones that

have been here dried out for a very very long time.

And as he's walking around this vast valley littered with

the bones of human can you imagine walking around and

seeing a skull here, a fragment of a femur bone there,

and and a clavical bone over here, and a thigh

bone over there. You have no idea who these bones

belonged to. This would be the worst type of jigsaw

puzzle to.

Have to connect together.

I might put the wrong bone with the wrong hip,

I might scatter the wrong things in the wrong direction.

And so he's over here looking in this valley of

dry bones, brought there by God. Ezekiel wasn't wandering around

and then accidentally just stumbled upon this situation. God brought

him to a place that people had been long gone.

He allows Ezekiel to take in to literally with his

eyes in.

Ingest, how vast and how sad this scene is.

And then he poses a question to him, a question

that I find absolutely unfair, A question that I think,

as the god of the universe, why would you even

ask a human this question when you know good and

well they can't answer. Can these bones live?

Sir?

You do the wanet brought me to the valley. You

let me tour the valley. I don't just see a

few scattered bones around. I see piles and piles of

bones scattered.

All around this valley. And your question to me is

can these bones live?

Dried out bones, some of them hollowed out fractured, cracked

in half, and you're asking me, can these bones live again?

You bring me to.

An impossible situation, and your question is is it possible?

Only God can mess with somebody's brain like this, a.

God that can defy all impossibilities, ask a man who

is limited to possibilities?

Can these bones live again? And this is when I

knew Ezekiel was smart.

The response that Ezekiel gives lets me know that he's

an incredibly smart guy because he doesn't feel the pressure

to try to say something deep.

He doesn't feel the.

Pressure to try to impress out of a nyeh.

L o him. You know, sometimes you get around some

people and you.

Ask them a question and they try to wax eloquent

like they.

Know some things well.

You know, I would say, if you reverse to polarity

of the situation, and.

Maybe if like.

You know, maybe if I stay here long enough and

I put some of these bones together and you let

me see if I can match at least one or two,

I think there's something I can do about this situation

that's just absolutely stupid. When God asked you a question,

your best response is Ezekiel's response, and I loved it.

It was just two words. He didn't try to make

it deep.

Can these bones live?

He said, you know, don't be asking me no questions.

You know I don't got no answer to I don't

know the answer to that question. You know the answer

to that question. And he goes, You're absolutely right, I

do have the answer to this question. Speak to him.

I'm so sorry.

What. Yeah, these bones are dead, I asked you, can

they live? You said, I know the answer, and I

do know the answer. I want you to give the

bones a word, not people, not a person. I want

you to speak to the very infrastructure of that person

who no longer has ears to hear or a mouth

to respond. I want you to speak to what used

to hold them up.

And if you would do that, I'll work.

Can I just pause and say, this is why it

is important to have a word from God, no matter

how impossible you think your situation is. If you have

a word from God, you have all you need to

get out of the situation that you think is absolutely impossible.

So he says, I want you to prophesy to bones,

and I want you to tell these bones to live.

And when you prophesy, I'll start working.

DC.

There's always a partnership between you and God. There's something

that I just want to make a correction on the church.

I know we're gonna use this because generationally we have

used it for years and years and years and years

and years. But I want you to have the philosophical

difference so that you don't think that you're some item

that God is using. I know that we say God

is using this person, God is using that person. God

wants to use you for this, and God wants to

use you for that. But please, can we please consider

that this is your daddy as an earthly father. I

don't use my kids. They're not forks and knives and

dinner plates that I use. We're in a relationship. We

have a partnership. God wasn't using Adam and Eve in

the garden. He created them in his image and placed

them in the garden to manage what he had created.

It was a partnership.

So God will never do anything in the earth unless

he partners.

With a man and a woman to get it done.

So how come God just didn't speak. You can't do

nothing anyway, Ezechi. You it's just you can't get the

bones up. Let me step back and watch me do it. No, no,

he says, I want to partner with you, and it

says you.

Don't know what to do. I'll give you the words

to say.

Tell somebody say repeat after me, Repeat after me. Sometimes

you got to repeat what the God of your salvation

has already said about you. Don't be trying to freestyle

and make up words. Just repeat what the God of

your Salvation has already told you to say. You are

the head and not the tale. You are above and

not beneath. You are blessed in.

The city, coming in and going out, Repeat after.

Repeat after me. Ezekiel, I love how scripture says it.

I prophesied as I was commanded. He told me to

say it. It seemed absolutely ridiculous, but I prophesied bones live.

And then the wind started blowing.

And the earth started shaking, and bones that had been

scattered throughout a valley for I don't know how long

just started coming together with their own bones.

This is very very important to understand. None of the

bones got mixed up.

Nobody's bone went to another person's body. All the bones

got together because he was the God that put them together.

So when he prophesied to them, they all went back

to the original place that God intended them to be

before the death had occurred. M Let me just prophesy

and say, somebody's coming back together, and you are coming

back together the way God always intended you to be,

not what the trauma wanted you to be. Somebody's coming

back together, and you're not going to be put back

together the way that you were when you were traumatized.

You will be put back together the way God always

prophesied for you to be back together. The bones came back,

All the bones came back together. The body is the

human body is an.

Absolute engineering marvel.

Because the skeleton bones came back together, and then the

muscles and the tendons wrapped themselves around the skeleton. Because

it wasn't just enough for the bones to come back together.

What is reconnected has to be strengthened. He was never

gonna let you be bony and not strong, so he

puts the tendons and the tissue and the muscles around

the skeleton so that the skeleton is strong enough to stand.

Once the t and the muscles come around the skeleton,

then flesh comes over the muscles.

And the tendons, and then skin covers.

The muscles and the tendons and the bones, because you

gotta get your identity back once you get your integrity back.

I'm gonna say that again. You must get your identity

back after you get your integrity back.

The bones coming together and the muscles.

And the tissue, that's the integrity, that's the inner part

of you. That's the inner workings of what holds you together.

But now that you're together, your identity must come back

to you so that you know who you are and

can testify to the people who don't.

See.

Before we had our peace, we called ourselves what other

people called us. But once you get peaced back together,

you know who you are and who you are, and

you can start testifying according to what God has said

about you and not what they have been saying about you.

See, when you.

Really get peace back together and people start calling you

the old you, you don't have to get mad, you

don't get defensive, you don't have to talk back to them.

You're just like, no, I'm not. No, yes you are.

You're steal that drunk that used to do this, this.

And that, And you're like, no, I'm not, that's not

me anymore.

Yes, it is, and you'll never be anything else. That's

who you are. No, I'm not I'm not the drunk anymore.

I'm not promiscuous anymore. I'm not the liar anymore. I'm

not anxious anymore. I'm not fearful anymore. I'm not violent anymore.

I'm not a fighter anymore. I know you used to

have got the video footage because that's who I.

Used to be.

But that's not who I am anymore. Do you got

anybody in here beside me that you're like?

That?

Ain't me anymore.

It used to be me. I used to be mad.

I used to cuss you out. I used to fight

you in the street. I used to be petty. I

used to be passive aggressive. But that's not me any

It's not me anymore. I've been pieced back together. It's

not me anymore. The wind blew, the earth shook. All

the bones came back together. The skeleton and the tendons

came back on top.

Of the bones. The flesh and the skin came on top.

Of the skeleton and the muscles and tendons, and scripture

says that they're we're back together, But there was no

breath in them. God just pause and say, you can

be put together and still not be alive.

I know I'm talking to somebody right now.

You can have your whole life put together and still

be dead on the inside. Look no further than Hollywood

to find a whole bunch of people that are put

together and still dead on the inside. They still need

a bunch of proper field to go to sleep. They

still need fit to nail to get to bed. They

still need to pop Molly's and Oxycotten. Why they looked

the part? Why did you say her outfit? Oh she

looked good. She did on the inside.

Man, he looks oh much? Whoa bro that dude?

Whoo?

He's sharp. She graduated ivy League.

She is smart and dead on the inside. He's a

prestigious doctor in his community. He graduated top of his class,

and he's dead.

On the inside. Because just because you've been put together

doesn't mean you're alive.

I know some of y'all cleaned up your credit score,

but you're still.

Dead on the inside.

I know that you paid off the car, but you're

still dead on the inside. You got the marriage, but

you're still dead on the inside. Because anytime you dictate

your piece based on your things. You will get your things,

but not have your life. Am I talking to anybody today?

Can you imagine all that He just saw a miracle,

and that miracle put them together, but they had no breath.

I can't tell you how many people I know living

like this on the inside.

Put together look amazing, but you can't hear this.

And you always notice when somebody's put together, but they're

not alive because you.

Can't feel the breath. Okay, they're at work, but the

ruwak is not at work. Oh, they working really hard.

They out there grinding, but the spirit is not moving,

and they're sitting there lifeless, miraculous. They shouldn't even be

together at all. But this is why you need a

continuing word from God. Because there are words that bring

you out and their other words that fill you up,

and there are other words that move you forward. This

is why Jesus said, in his battle with Satan out

in the wilderness, he said, man shall not live by

brea by bread alone, but by every word that proceed

death out of the mouth of God. E. T. H

is the equivalent to I G. It's a continual word.

You don't get a word for your life. You continue

to get words for your life, for every situation and

every circumstance and every.

Season of life that you are in.

God has a word for every season of your life,

miraculously put together and lifeless. And God has a solution.

He says, Hey, you gave them a word. Now I

want you to prophesied to a person. You gave them

my word and they got put together by my word.

But now I need you to prophesie to the wind,

prophesied to the rurock, the spirit, the wind, the mover,

And I want you to prophesie to the wind and

tell them to come from all four corners and.

Wake up what I put together.

Anybody beside me been awakened by what God has done

in your life. You remember when you were sleeping your

sins and you were.

Doing things, and.

You were never convicted about nothing you was doing. And

then one day you just woke up, and when you

woke up.

You was like, I can't be doing this no more.

I can't say at your house no more. I can't

talk about this no more. I can't be around that

no more. I can't keep drinking this no more. I

can't keep hanging with you no more. Anybody beside me

been wakened up. When you get a generation that wakes up,

you get a generation that's been filled with the spirit,

and they are awakened to the things that they used

to be dead in their sins too, and they're like,

I can't do that, no more. I can't do that

no more. I'm so sorry. I know I did that yesterday.

I know I did that four hours ago. I can't

do that today. I'm so sorry. I know I told

you after church that we would go hang and smoke

a blunt, but there was something that happened at church

that opened up my eyes, and I can't smoke that

blunt with you today. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna get

high a different way, but I'm not gonna be using

this no more. Prophesy to the wind, and the wind

came and everybody came alive.

Everybody that was put together came alive.

They had been pieced together, but then the wind, the

ruak came on the inside of them and they woke up. Now,

I would just imagine that if not I haven't been asleep,

I've been dead. And not only have I been dead,

I've been good and decomposed.

Huh.

I've been good and dead so long. My bones have scattered.

My wristbone was way over there.

Huh.

My skull had rolled like a tumbleweed way over here.

My thigh bone has a little more dissity. It's been

there with the same place as been since I lay down.

And then a word puts.

Me back together, not only puts my bones back together,

but put muscles and strengths back on my bones, and

then puts flesh and skin back on top of that.

And then the spirit comes into my body. I come

back alive. And when I wake up, I comply, how you.

Been dead all this time?

And when you wake up you don't have a testimony.

This makes no sense to me. In Ezekiel thirty seven,

verse number eleven, here's what it says.

Then he said to me, son a man, these bones

are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say they've

been awaken.

Right, they're alive. Right, they're pieced together. Right. Here's what

they say. Our bones are dried up. How you're alive now?

Our bones are dried up. Our hope is love. We

are cut off by ourselves.

There's a part of me that wants to be critical

but I've lived long enough to know what it's like

to have God do a miracle in your life and

you're still not in the place that you thought you

would be in. Anybody besides me can be honest. God's

been doing some transformational things in my life. But my

situation still looks like bondish. My situation still looks hopeless.

My situation still looks like I'm not gonna come out

of the situation that I've been in all my life.

I want to critique them so bad, I want to

be so petty. I want to act like I'm the

guy that has done all the right things in my

last thirty years of salvation, and then look at the

text and tell them I don't understand why they don't

have a testimony. But can I be honest. I have

been Israel. I know what it's like to have the

miraculous nature of God piece me back together and the

Holy Spirit fill me up from the inside out. I'm

still looking at people going I'm still I ain't no hope.

I've been through so much stuff in my life. This man,

I mean, I thank God for what He's done. Anybody

ever had that one? No, no, no, no, no, no, don't give

me twisted.

I'm grateful, but.

This is it for me. It's hopeless out here. God

could have been way pettier than me. That's why I'm

glad he's God and not me. I could never be God.

Let me just tell you right now, I can never

be Jesus.

Forget being God.

I could never be Jesus because if I was Jesus,

you'd have to serve me. I'm just telling you, in

my flesh and the way I'm set up, if I

die for you, oh you gonna live for me, I'd

haunt the hell.

Out of you.

Do you understand the words that are coming out of

my mouth? If I die for you and you get

up every morning talking about there is no God, I

would be in your bedroom every time, your eyes would

peel op, and I'd be like, you want to get

me today?

You're gonna get me today? Oh you're still go You're.

Gonna act like, oh, oh, so you still don't want

to Okay, breathe don't you know that I'm the one

that's giving you that breath in your body. I can

hold mind longer and you can hold yours. You're gonna

serve me now, you're gonna serve me? Are you gonna

serve me? Now, that's why I can't be him, just

telling you I can't be him because I am your

feet up, just turn your your your your feet into

meatballs and then tell you to walk. I'd be doing something.

I'd be doing some petty stuff. I take your eyesight,

tell you to look at me. I would just be

doing I'd be doing I'm telling you, I'd be doing petty.

I would be doing petty stuff.

I'd put food in front of you and take your appetite,

and you just be looking at it like.

I cannot be gone. Okay, I'm south. Let me fine,

I can't be got. I can't be got. I'm just glad.

All that to say, I'm just glad he's not patty

because after you get people up and they say our

bones are dried up, our hope is lost, we are

cut off by ourselves. The propensity could have been if

he was human, which I'm so glad he's not. If

God is not a man, that he should lie to

know the son of man, that he should repent. He's

also the God that's not petty, so he don't think

like us, act like us.

He doesn't respond like us.

Because he lives before time, in time, and after time,

and so he knows what you're whining about.

Right now. You ain't gonna be complaining about it four months.

Because you have no idea. Your deliverance has already been set.

You still walking through Tuesday, and you have no idea.

The breakthrough is Friday, And.

I gotta listen to you complain for the next seventy

two hours, just so for you to get to Friday

and be like, thank you God. I didn't know you

was gonna do it again, but I thank you God.

He's not Patty. So he looks at him and he says,

they're complaining even after I gave him a word that

fixed their past. Their complaining. I pieced them together. They

had no life in them. I put life back on

the inside of them, and yet they are complaining. He

doesn't say, son of Man, tell them forget it. He

doesn't say, son of Man, tell them, on second thought,

let me dismember what I remembered.

No, they have a word that fixed their past.

I gave them the spirit to be in their present.

But now they need a word for their future. If

you are left without a word, for your future. We

would all sound like the Israelites.

All hope is lost.

We're put back together, but our bows are still dry.

There is no hope for us.

And he says, don't even worry about that. I have

a word for their future. Prophesy to them and tell them.

Thus says Adam n i lheim bhood, I will open

your graves.

There's a period behind that. He doesn't even put it

as a comma. Do you know that they am? I

am that I am.

He cannot speak a word and it comes back without

doing what he said it was sent to do. So,

just at the statement I will open their graves, I

would assume they would be encouraged. But he doesn't stop there.

He says, I will bring you up out of your graves.

Then it says this my people.

I'm from a neighborhood where we talk about having.

My people.

You know the people that are like you, and you

know the people that's not like you. Somebody mentioned a

name to you and you'll be like, no, that's not

my people.

Maybe that's your people. Them not my people. You don't

know the andcens I.

Know of them, huh, but those not my people. Here's

what Jesus says, ain't no way, I'm getting out my grave.

And keeping you in yours. Ain't no way.

I'm gonna have my son come down there, die for

the sins of the world, be buried in the grave

for three days, and then rise again, and I'm gonna keep.

You in yours.

Here's Adam night Lohem in the Old Testament. Jesus is

not even in the earth yet.

And he says, I'm bringing you up out of your grave.

Now words matter to me.

If you got to bring somebody up and out, that

means they were down.

And in. And he said, no, no, no, I'm about

to bring you up out of your or grave.

I will bring you up out of your graves, my people.

I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

You will know that I am at an Eye. When

I have opened your graves and brought you up out

of your graves, my people, I will put my ruoc

in you and you will live. I will place you

in your own land. Then you will know that I

am at an eye. I have spoken and that I

have done it. It is a declaration of at an eye.

Here's the hope we have of being pieced together that

God has a word that has not just gone behind us,

it's not just with us, but a word that's gone

before us. So you can't die in the situation that

you should be dead in because He's already given you

a word that you are coming out. And when God

gives you a word that He's about to pop your

grave doors open, and that on the other side of

that grave is gonna be life. This is when you

have to start agreeing with the prophecy and speaking the prophecy.

Before it comes to pass.

This is one of the reason why I wanted to

know if I at least had one hundred shouters before

I even preached the message, because I needed a test

run to know if you would know what it feels

like to be a person that walks around not pity

partying about your present, but prophesying about your future. I

hope there's at least two hundred people now that can

walk around and say that I ain't out the situation yet,

but I will be out of the situation because God

has already given me a word about where I'm going

to be. He already told me I was coming out.

Are you out yet? No, I'm not out yet. But

I will be out. How do you know he gave

me a word that I was coming out, And if

you gave me a word that I was coming out,

I am coming out. Church time, touching these three people

and say I'm coming out.

I'm coming out. I'm coming out. I'm coming out. I'm

coming out. I'm coming out.

I'm coming out of depression. I'm coming out of anxiety.

I'm coming out of debt. I'm coming out of a

generational curse. I'm coming out of bondage. I'm coming out

of suicidal ideation.

I'm coming out of addiction. I'm coming out of pain.

I'm coming out of trauma.

I'm coming out of my past.

I am coming.

This is a difference between having a word and not

having a word. When you don't have a word about

your future, all you do is complain. But when you

get a future about your word, the situation in your

presence doesn't have to change, but your mindset.

Doun.

I'm coming out of this. I know it's been a

long time, but I'm coming out of this. I know

that I've been struggling, but I will be coming out

of this.

I know my.

Body is not healed yet, but I am coming out.

Of Somebody just shout, I'm coming out. How can I

not come out? He already gave me a word.

How can I not come out? No wonder why the

devil's so mad at me. He understands that I have

a word, and there's nothing he can put in my

present that's gonna make me doubt the future that God

has already given me.

I am.

This is why I'm so glad that God gave me

this word on flood Sunday, because when I think about baptism,

there's no way I can't think about what happened to

the children of Israel who had been in bondas for

over four hundred years, and they had been in this

bondage so long they thought they were never coming out.

But then God sent Moses to give them a word,

and the word was, you are coming out. And they

came out.

Just to face a body of water that they could

not get past, and with the Egyptians behind them and

the Red Sea in front of them, they thought they

were about to die. If we turn around and face

our past, we die. If we try to go into

our future, we drown. But God said, no, no, no,

I want to use the water. I'm gonna use this

water to piece you together. Oh, you going through the water,

and you're gonna get to the other side. And the

only thing that's gonna drown is your enemy behind you.

The only thing that's about to drown is the past

you came out of. The only thing that's about to

drown or the people that said you were.

Gonna make it.

The only thing that's gonna drown is your trauma, your pain,

your suffering, your anxieties, your fears, those generational curses.

Oh, something is about to drown. It's just not gonna

be you.

I come out of the water wet, but everything in

my past is dead. Behold, I am a new creature

in Christ Jesus.

The old things are past. That's the way. Behold, all

things are.

Somebody just pointing up here and say, there's some water

right up here. There's some water right up here. There's

somebody in this room. You know, for real, you need

to be cut off from your pass and you've.

Been pieced together. God has brought you back with a word.

He's pacing his spirit on the inside of you, and

he's giving you a word from your future. If you

don't want to be haunted by the hounds of your past.

All you need to do is getting the water. And

there's some water right here. There's some water right here.

They're gonna put a cold up.

Because if you want to get baptized right now, and

you didn't planned on getting baptized right now, all you

gotta do is go to the I can.

They'll get you a change of clothes.

It will get you a change of clothes right now,

because we don't want you in the clothes you came

in getting soaken wet. But if you want to get

baptized today, today is the day of salvation. Today is

the day of your breakthrough. Today is the day of

your miracle. Today is the day of your salvation. Today

is the day of your breakthrough. Today is the day

you get pieced together. Today is the day you get

filled with the spirit.

Today.

Today, let's tell you some all the hell is mad

right now. Somebody jumping this water, they about to cut

off a generational curse.

Somebody jumping this water.

Suicide is not gonna be on their mind every single night.

Somebody dropping this water, Alcoholism is gonna cut off. In

Jesus' name, that somebody jumps in this water.

Drug addiction is gonna cut off more than rehab. You

need the rock.

I'm glad you got therapy, but you're gonna need theology

to anchor you.

You're gonna need the.

Word of God.

We ain't talking about positive affirmations. We're talking about the

word of Adam nine Aloheve and your life.

He sent the word.

He sent the word and healed their disease. And after

you've been pieced together, you have a testimony to share

with everybody around you. How God brought me back together again.

I shouldn't have made it through what I made it through,

but he brought me back together again. Thirty years I've

been preaching the gospel and I'm still not over how

He pieced.

Me back together.

There is zero way that a kid who was sexually

abused at the age of eight years old, who was

told by the family doctor to be aborted, who was

porn addicted, low self esteem, low self worth, people, pleaser,

suicidal ideation.

There's no that dude is a preacher except for the fact.

That when I gave my life to Jesus on January

fourteenth of nineteen ninety six, he gave me a word

that pieced together in my past, and he gave me

a spirit so I could be led through my present.

Then he gave me a word.

That was set a course for my future. And that's

all it takes to say hype. Ain't nobody trying to

gas you up. We're telling you the truth. The last

thirty years of my life have been radically different. Not

because I'm smart. I graduated from an alternative school. I

don't have no degrees. I didn't go I barely got

out there, alterna to school. They were like the going

to college. I was like, I'm about to be dazzled

this diploma because that's as far as I'm going.

You have a brilliant mind, you should just go to college. No,

barely got out of high school. That dude from.

Inglewood, California should not be here. Not married to a

wife that as fine as she is. I mean, she

annoyed it in everything and she fine.

Why she's so fine?

No, Lord, I got two beautiful kids, and they both

loved Jesus at eighteen and sixteen.

I wasn't feeling Jesus at eighteen and sixteen.

But all that happened is because I got a word.

And when you get a word. It does not matter

what you've been through. His word prevails. Heaven and earth

is going to pass away, the grass wither it, the

flower fadeth, But the word of the Lord endures forever.

And I want you to be anchored with a word.

I want you to have something on the inside of

you that's going to keep you on the days where

the enemies trying.

To tell you are not going to make it.

We've been pieced together, perfectly, pieced together to do what

it is that God has called us to do.

You might be at home and you I'm not.

It's flood Sunday, but I'm at the house.

Jump in the.

Shower, like real talk what you think? There's some water

right over there, there's some water right where you are.

You're like, I'm in an apartment and the showers in

the tub. Jump in the tub. I don't have nobody

to baptize me. Go down, just go just just until

you can get to somebody's chirt. Just do a dress rehearsal.

Fill that tub up with water and go down in it.

Hold your nose if you have to, but get all

the way under. And here's why, why do we have

to be completely immersed in the water because we want

our past completely gone. I don't want my past taking

care of up to my waist. I don't want my

past taking care of up to my neck.

I want it completely erased in the water.

So, is there anybody that's about to be baptized? Did

anybody go change? A gang of people want to go change. Yeah.

At this lady up in the front.

That's my auntie for real.

She said. There's a lot of people that live. I

saw a gang of people get up and go down there.

I know they wouldn't leave and they want to go change.

Krista was one of them. I know she need to

get down in that water. No, she didn't say all that.

I just.

I'm so proud.

Of your faith. I'm proud of your faith walk. I'm

proud of your faith talk. I'm proud that you have

chosen to live out loud for Jesus because it absolutely,

unequivocally changes everything.

It has been my honor and my privilege.

To be your preacher for the last five out of

six weeks.

TC. I love y'all so much. I love y'all so much.

I love y'all so much.

Whether you've been in person, or you've been online. For

us to be able to carry the message of peace

to a world that is so disrupted and so full

of chaos, the world needs the message of peace. The

world needs to know what peace looks like around dysfunction, disruption,

and disorientation. You have no idea how many people I

get to witness too, just because I have peace.

I'm at the airport and.

Seems nowadays more flights than ever are delayed, and I

have considerable status with one airline, and they're like, oh

my goodness, I hope you're not mad. You know, this

flight is delayed for like another hour.

And I'm like, we're good. I've been with y'all for

a long time. It's not a big deal.

And they're like, while you're so calm, most people like

you have no idea. They yell at us. Let me

talking about the gate agent. She not even a pilot.

What can she do? She's just sitting there clickity clacking,

And you acting like it's a private jet.

When are we, sir, ma'am? This is a commercial airline.

It's a bust that flies.

Why are you spassing out? Why are you so entitled?

You are not a billionaire. You don't have your own plane.

You're in a long tube sit out. And they would

say you're just so calm, and I'm like, well, I

have peace.

I wish everybody have that peace. I'm like, you can

have it, well, how did you get it? Jesus?

Then they wrote their eyes and I'm like, no, for real,

that's Jesus. She's the one that did this for us,

and he can do it for you as well. If

you want to calm down, you need Jesus. You want

to carry peace, you need Jesus.

Thank you for joining us today. If you said that

prayer and accept it Jesus into your heart, it's the
