  1. Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

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

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

  4. God will transform your life. Do today's message right?

  5. All right? All right? So reading glacis for first chapter.

  6. We're gonna read to the seventh verse. It says, now,

  7. I say that the air, so long as he is

  8. a child, does not differ at all from a slave,

  9. though he is master of all. What good is to

  10. have everything? And you don't know you got it? Okay,

  11. it's no different than a slave. But it's under guardians

  12. and stewards until the time appointed by the Father. Even so,

  13. when we were children, we were in bondage under the

  14. elements of the world. Can we keep going? It says,

  15. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent

  16. forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law.

  17. He didn't just come to live on the earth, but

  18. he came to redeem those who were under the law,

  19. that we might receive adoption. Everyone say adoption as sons.

  20. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the

  21. spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying out Abbah, Father,

  22. can you, if you got Jesus on the inside, can

  23. you just call out to your father, call his name, Father,

  24. Call err yeah yeah yeah yeah Abba father, Abbah Father.

  25. This is part I love. Therefore, you are no longer

  26. a slave but a son. Since you're a son, then

  27. you are an heir. I need about twenty of you

  28. to just shout, I got something that belonged to me.

  29. I got. I know we're just reading the scripture, but

  30. I need you to understand because your father, if you

  31. know who he is, because he's on your side, I

  32. can't get caught up. I'm not even preaching again, but

  33. I need you to know you are an air of

  34. the Most High God. I need you to know your position.

  35. Right now, somebody shout, I am in the air of

  36. the Most High God. I dare you to say, I

  37. know who I am. Oh. Okay, okay, okay. That's only

  38. for twenty y'all. They understand what that means. All right,

  39. all right? Therefore, and if a son than the heir

  40. of God through Jesus Christ, can we jump to thirty

  41. one real quick? So, then, brethren, we are not children

  42. of the bond woman, but of the free. If I

  43. could talk to you today for texts. I want to

  44. talk to you and tell you that the Lord is

  45. challenging you to stay in a child's place. Yeah. Can

  46. you look to the person to your left and say, hey,

  47. how you doing? How you're doing. I know this might

  48. sound weird, but I believe God wants you to stay

  49. in a child's place. They didn't hear what you said.

  50. They didn't hear what you said. Find you another neighbor

  51. because sometimes they still waking up, they need some Starbucks's

  52. whatever it is, and say neighbor today and moving forward,

  53. stay in a child's place. Sometimes you got to be

  54. like David and you got to encourage yourself. I need

  55. you to talk to yourself real quick and sayself, I'm

  56. going to stay in a child's place. In Jesus name,

  57. let's pray. Father, we lift your name up. You are holy,

  58. you are righteous, you are faithful. Thank you for your presence. God.

  59. You don't manifest yourself everywhere, so thank you that you

  60. pulled up to TC and you showed yourself strong. Thank

  61. you for the worship. This is just a light show.

  62. If you don't live here. This is just a motivational

  63. speech if you don't live here, So thank you that

  64. week after week you show us that as long as

  65. we're in linement with you, you dwell in our presence

  66. in a way that cannot be denied. So God, used

  67. this body of clay, use these lips of clay. I

  68. pray that what we've done together in the clause that

  69. be revealed in this moment. God, there's somebody that needs

  70. to know who you are today. And God, I pray

  71. that the breath of the Living God would breathe through me,

  72. that none of my inadequacies, none of the things that

  73. I'm worried about, my fears, my nurse, none of that

  74. gets in the way of what you want to do today.

  75. And as I pray always that your Holy Spirit would

  76. set me on fire so the world can watch me burn.

  77. For you think you that the fire didn't consume me,

  78. but it's shaped me and who you called me to be.

  79. I know we don't thank God for the fire, but

  80. can we thank him that we we lost some things

  81. in the fire, but what was supposed to remain remain.

  82. Can we Holy Spirit set me on fire so the

  83. whole world can watch me burn for you send Jesus name,

  84. we pray. Everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen, staying in the

  85. child's place. Alleluyah, Thank you Lord for your blessing, Thank

  86. your Lord for your spirit. I want to ask you,

  87. do y'all remember when we were kids, and remember when

  88. we were kids in our mom's house and yeah, screaming

  89. like that, Alla leaves. That's all I love. I love that.

  90. Remember when we always saying I can't wait till I

  91. get grown. I get to work my own job and

  92. pay my own bills. I could leave the door open

  93. if I want to, I could turn the light on

  94. if I feel like it, and leave it on if

  95. I want to sleep with it on. Only to become

  96. an adult and say, Lord, I wish I could go

  97. back to the day's when I was a kid, when

  98. all I had to do was just wake up and

  99. eat somebody else's groceries and turn on the switch and

  100. didn't have to worry about how did it come on?

  101. And turn on the hot water and use it all

  102. up without having to worry about paying for and living

  103. in a house where there's an over him. I remember,

  104. I remember looking at my bills a couple of months

  105. back on the table, and it was like a family

  106. reunion almost. You know, when you see somebody when they're

  107. grown up. And I was looking at them bills, I

  108. was like, I remember when you used to be a

  109. coloring book, Like like, I remember you used to be

  110. some jugio cars. What happened you? Just now? You you

  111. just frowing up? Because because what I love is childhood

  112. is such a beautiful thing. Yeah, childhood is such a

  113. beautiful They used to have a song back to day.

  114. I don't know how young y'all are, but it's like

  115. back in the days when I was not a kid anymore.

  116. For some day, See look at all the millennials, like

  117. what what is back in the days? What is that? Right?

  118. But child But childhood is a beautiful thing. It is

  119. a delightful thing. But it's also a dangerous thing because

  120. because watch this, our lives are sculpted by the experience

  121. of our childhood. Oh see, I can look at a

  122. person right now, I can look at the age. I

  123. can look at where they are, they could be forty

  124. right now, and the way that they move, the way

  125. they adjust, the way they evaluate situations, the way they analyze,

  126. the way they respond, the way they deal with conflict.

  127. I could track it back somewhere. I'm preaching already, don't

  128. miss it. I can track it back to the childhood.

  129. The reason why is because, according to studies, ninety percent

  130. of the bind your brain is fully functioned with all

  131. its faculties. Watch this at the age of five, and

  132. it's fully mature at the age of twenty five. So

  133. that means between five and twenty five, the things that

  134. happen to you, the triggers, the traumas, the situations, the grief,

  135. all of it gets stored here in the mind, and

  136. for the next twenty years, your brain is building a

  137. path of decision making based on what happened between that time.

  138. And there's some people. Don't judge them. Might be you

  139. talking about your cousin. We'll just call him Pooky. Pooky's

  140. still forty years old, and he responding the way he

  141. did when he was fifteen. Don't look at nobody, look

  142. at me. Don't look at nobody, look at me. I'm

  143. not here to get nobody in trouble. But but, but

  144. but we're not careful. If we're not careful, we'll find

  145. ourselves living on autopilot because of what has happened when

  146. we were five, what happened to us when we were seven,

  147. what happened to us when we were fifteen, twenty, twenty one,

  148. twenty two. But I got some prescription for you. This

  149. is why Romans twelve says it this way, and be

  150. not conformed to this world, but be ye transform how

  151. by the renewing of your mind. So I came to

  152. tell you today this ain't even the word. I'm just

  153. passing by. But for some of you, if you need

  154. to break a cycle, you need to ask God to

  155. touch your mind. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't want to

  156. be fifty still responding then with things and answering questions

  157. and problem solving like you're fifteenth, then you got to

  158. ask God to renew your mind. Because somebody say, God,

  159. renew my mind. I gotta move, I gotta move. But

  160. in Galatians, for Paul is writing a story to the

  161. Church of Galatia, and he's continuing this argument, and he's

  162. separating the difference between law and love. So he's revealing

  163. to us the difference between a son in law and

  164. a son in love. Okay, okay, I'm walking with you,

  165. holy girl. So I'm walking with you. Ce Cee. See

  166. when I got married. When I got married, my father

  167. in law and my brother in law would call me

  168. a son or a brother in love. And I was

  169. confused because I did not come up from healthy backgrounds

  170. growing up. I came up from a separate family. I

  171. didn't know what the institution of marriage looked like. And

  172. so I said, because I signed on the dotted line,

  173. I now qualified to be a son of law in law.

  174. So why are you calling me a son in love?

  175. And then he explained to me, you are a part

  176. of my family, whether you sign that or oh yeah,

  177. oh yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling right here. He

  178. was revealing, yeah, because there's some laws. Families have some laws,

  179. and so if you break those laws, by their law,

  180. you're no longer a son. I'm dealing with some right here,

  181. because some family members are at war with each other

  182. because the son didn't follow what the father of that

  183. name had said. And now y'all in odds and you're

  184. treating him like he's not a son. But I want

  185. to bring you to the argument of Paul that I

  186. need you to understand that when you are a son

  187. in love, it doesn't matter what laws you keep or break.

  188. It doesn't stop you from being a son in love.

  189. How can I bring it to the church I need

  190. some religious folks to let go that they are pretending

  191. like they're saved because of what they don't do, and

  192. what because they do. I don't listen to this, I

  193. don't go there, I don't do this and do that.

  194. All that is great, but if you think your salvation

  195. is proven and built on what you do in the law,

  196. then you're more different than a slate. I am a

  197. child of God, not because of what I've done. I'm

  198. a child because he loved me. Oh could you just

  199. say he loves me right here right listen. I'm getting

  200. some things figured out. I'm getting some things hinned out.

  201. I'm not perfect. Sometimes I come to church on Sunday,

  202. sometimes don't show up with ad today. But what I

  203. realize is this relationship that I got with me and

  204. my father is not based on what I do. Is

  205. his love for me. I could get stuff there just

  206. thinking on how much he loved me. You should get

  207. You should just palls and just be thankful that he

  208. loves you right where you are. He knows the stuff

  209. that you hiding under that that lace front, he knows

  210. what you hiding under that maybe lad, he knows what

  211. you hiding. He knows the bbl all of them. He

  212. don't care about none of that. He said, you are

  213. not my daughter. You are not my Let me get

  214. on the fellas too. Some of y'all think because you

  215. got us six pack, and you got Jayson, and you

  216. got money and this and that, you think that that

  217. attributes to what God thinks of you. God says I

  218. loved you at your worst, while you were yet a sinner.

  219. He died for you. Somebody say he died for me. Okay, okay, sorry,

  220. I'm sorry. I don't know how we got stuck there.

  221. But but but Galatians four and one reveals to us

  222. now that I say, I say that the heir as

  223. long to watch these its in there. We're all his children.

  224. I could shout right there, but I'm not going to

  225. because I got a job to do. Okay, Now that

  226. as an air, as long as he is a child,

  227. he does not differ at all from a slave, though

  228. he is master of all. Can I unpack this real quick?

  229. A child? See? In this text, Paul gives us two

  230. definitions of what a child is. In the beginning, he

  231. shows us the negative context of what a child is see.

  232. Words in Hebrew could be used multiple times, but being

  233. different things. This is why you got to study and

  234. re re re read the Bible, right right, So anyway,

  235. a child in this text is different than the diverse

  236. children in the thirty first verse. Right. So the one

  237. here is a negative contotation here it is a child

  238. in that verse means infant, it means baby, it means childish.

  239. Watch this not speaking without word? Oh God, wordless. Wordless

  240. means the inability to articulate or profess a thing. Cecc

  241. let me explain some CCC. God is showing us the

  242. correlation between a person that is a slave to sin

  243. and it's not saved, right, But he's also showing how

  244. ridiculous it looks for a religious person to think they

  245. are saved by what they do and don't do. Because

  246. when you lean too much on the law, you make

  247. what Jesus Christ did to no effect. Are you understanding me?

  248. And so you've got to be This is why the

  249. scripture says, if you confess with your mouth and believe

  250. in your heart that God, that the Lord Jesus died

  251. and rose from the dead, then you will be saved.

  252. See there's a two part there. Some of us believe,

  253. but we haven't started using our ability to profess and

  254. to articulate what we believe. And so what I'm saying is,

  255. if all you're doing is living by the law, you

  256. are no different than a slave. And a slave in

  257. this text means a person who is in permanent service

  258. watch this to another without the opportunity to own anything.

  259. So you, with your little religious self, let me let

  260. me bust your bubble. God is saying, if all you're

  261. doing is living by the law and not bringing acknowledgement

  262. to the grace that's on your life, you are no

  263. different than a person who don't know Jesus at all.

  264. Slave means a person who is in permanent position servitude

  265. to another without the opportunity for ownership. So whether you

  266. are under the law or an unbeliever, or you put

  267. your salvation solely by the law as a believer, either

  268. way you become equivalent to a slave. Can I give

  269. you this to write down? If you refuse to buy

  270. into the doctrine of sonship, by default, you sell yourself

  271. into slavery. Can we scooba dive a little bit? Can we?

  272. Can we do this? If you do not buy into

  273. the doctrine of sonship then by default you have sold

  274. yourself into slavery. Cause the question is what good is

  275. to have asset assets when you don't have access? What

  276. good is it? What good is it to have possessions

  277. without the perspective? What good is it to have wealth

  278. and you ain't got no wisdom? What good is it

  279. to be to be in the most notorious name of

  280. the name above all names? What good is to be

  281. to have notoriety and be a son of the most

  282. notorious man in the world, And you don't even know

  283. your own name? Can I can?

  284. I can? I know?

  285. We gotta can I just can I just take a

  286. little moment right here? See, one of the main tactics

  287. of slavery is to remove you and to rename you.

  288. Oh yeah, that's that's the trick of the enemy. Even

  289. in the law, souls, just because you say, if you're

  290. just living by the law, then guess what you are.

  291. Because this is the thing. None of us have the

  292. capability to live a sinless life. The law that was created,

  293. it was a perfect thing. However, there's no one in

  294. the earth. We were born in sin and shaped and iniquity,

  295. so there was no way that we could hold ourselves

  296. to this law. So the only person that could fulfill

  297. this law was the name Jesus. So I'm trying to

  298. break you from some of your religion. As you have

  299. made your way that you live and what you do

  300. and what you don't do, you've actually made it an idol. Okay,

  301. I might get in trouble, don't keep my car all right,

  302. all right, all right, But it leads to slavery. Slavery tactic.

  303. The main goal, the main objective of slavery is to

  304. remove you and then rename you. It is to remove you,

  305. to change who you belong to, and then it's meant

  306. to name you to change your behavior. You don't believe me,

  307. You don't believe me. You don't you don't believe me.

  308. Let me give you the let me give you context.

  309. You remember the story of King nebu kanez Aar, correct,

  310. and when he took captive of the Hebrew the Hebrews. Correct.

  311. And so what we know those three Hebrew boys' names

  312. are is what me Shack and Indigo right right right right?

  313. Can I tell you something? Can I? Can I blow

  314. your bubble really quick? Can I talk to you real quick?

  315. Can I talk to you real quick? Can I tell

  316. you that that's actually their slave name. Oh yeah, oh yeah,

  317. oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. So even years and

  318. thousands of years later, we still calling them, they're oh

  319. oh yeah, oh yeah. Can I can? I? Can I

  320. explain this thing how I feel it? Can I explain it?

  321. Can I can? Can I give it to you? The

  322. three Hebrew boys actual names. Shadrack name was actually Hannah

  323. and Aaya. Let me explain what his name means. It

  324. means God has been gracious? Okay, okay me. Shack's name's

  325. miss Scho and that means who is what God is? Okay?

  326. And then a Bendigold name was actually Azayah, and his

  327. name meant who God has helped. Now it makes sense

  328. why God showed up in the fire furnace. That's a

  329. whole nother birth. That's a whole nother word. I ain't

  330. even here for that. But what I'm trying to get

  331. you to see is when the enemy changes your name,

  332. he can change your behavior, and he removes you from

  333. what you belong to. Can I give you an example?

  334. Can I give you an example? See I'm thirty, I'm

  335. not gonna tell you that's none your missess anyway, I'm

  336. a certain age in the thirties, right, and so because

  337. you might have thought I was twenty eight, I I

  338. don't want to ruin what you feel. I don't want

  339. to ruin it. So I'm above I'm in an age group, right. Hallelujah.

  340. Where I came from. Calling a woman a female adult

  341. would get your lip busted. Oh here we go, here

  342. we go. Don't get quiet on me now tc. But

  343. now here in twenty twenty, I now see that women

  344. are calling themselves a bad one. Oh yeah, oh yeah,

  345. oh yeah. I'm gonna set you free today. Oh You're

  346. gonna get this freedom. You gonna get this freedom. You

  347. gonna get this freedom. You might not like it, but

  348. you gonna get this freedom. So can I tell you

  349. what that term means real quick? That term means a

  350. female dog that is in heat. Watch this and ready

  351. to pro create and lay with anything suitable or unsuitable.

  352. As long as it's a counterpart, they're available. So now

  353. you're wondering why you went a relationship and you and

  354. you saying to yourself, this ain't even my type. How

  355. did I How did I get here? I don't even

  356. like that. I got standards, I got prefaces. How did

  357. I end up here? Maybe somewhere along the line, you

  358. allowed somebody to change your name? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

  359. yeah yeah yeah. Hot Girl Summer? Can I get on it?

  360. Real quick? Can I get on it? Can I get

  361. on it? Hot girl summer means a time of cheating,

  362. scam me and and manipulating men without any intent, without

  363. any intentions of companionship. So you wonder why she stopped

  364. calling you. But but but she called you during her

  365. time of a Hot girl Summer? Am I going too deep?

  366. Should I come up? Should I come up for air?

  367. Sneaky lee? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm finna. We gonna

  368. break it today. We're gonna break it today. Sneaky league

  369. is a rendezvous with between two people who are looking

  370. to do something together without any expectation of commitment. Now

  371. you're wondering why they're always calling you at three in

  372. the a of It's because you let them change your

  373. name even in jail. When you go to jail. Don't

  374. ask me how to know your own business. But when

  375. you go to jail, the first thing they do is

  376. they take you out of civilization and they change your name.

  377. Or I'm about to deal with that devil today, Holy

  378. Spirit help me. They change your name to inmate. I

  379. feel God right here, I feel him, I feel him

  380. right here. He changes your name to inmate. And so

  381. now even when you get out of jail, you're struggling

  382. how to live like a civilian because that name is

  383. in your mind. But I need about thirty of you

  384. to shout, the devil is a liar. That's not my name. God,

  385. alive yourself to be confined by what the enemy has

  386. called you. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I feel God right here.

  387. I dare about twenty of you to shout, that's not

  388. my name. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's not my name.

  389. I know that you used to talking to somebody crazy,

  390. but I need you to know that's not my name.

  391. I know I've been to the doctor. Say they trying

  392. to label me the sickness that I have, But that's

  393. not my name. No no, no, no, no, no no

  395. Not my name.

  396. I'm gone, Oh that's not my name. Oh yeah, that's

  397. not my name. Some of you ought to look at

  403. and not the tale. I am above and not biddy.

  404. I am the leander, that not the father devil. That's

  405. not my name. I know some of you feel tied

  406. to your past, but I need you to break loose

  407. and give divorce right now and say, that's not my name.

  408. I might have done it, but it's not who I am.

  409. That's not my name. O God, there's something on that.

  410. I speak to Transformation Church. It's in your name. They

  411. want to call you things. They want to call you this,

  412. they want to call you that. Hear the word of

  413. the Lord. It's in your name to transform. It's in

  414. your name to shift. It's in your name to take

  415. a different shape. It's in your name to be flexible.

  416. Whatever these enemies are saying around you, that's not my name.

  417. That's not my name. I gotta move. I gotta move.

  418. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am Oh God.

  419. I'm trying to move the righteousness of God. I am

  420. God forgiven. I am healed. I am healed. I am

  421. I am. I am not cancer though I am not

  422. high blood pressure. I am not diabetes. I am here.

  423. That's my name and Jesus's name. I gotta move. I

  424. got twenty minutes. I'm gonna get you out here. I'm

  425. gonna get you out of here. Oh God, Okay, somebody

  426. I say, I am a child of God. So there's

  427. three things that I want you to hold on to

  428. when it comes to being a child of God. I'm

  429. gonna give it to you, all right now, three of them,

  430. all three, and prayerfully we get through all three of them.

  431. But y'all kind of reality, so I don't know if

  432. we'll get doing. So I want to give you the

  433. three points now in case we get stuck on point

  434. number one, that's all right. The first point is a

  435. child must hold on to their inheritance, all right, talk

  436. that talk, holygos Okay. The second thing is their imagination.

  437. I might get stuck there. I don't know. I might

  438. get stuck there because I'm believing God for some things

  439. I ain't seen yet. I gotta move. I gotta move,

  440. I gotta move. And the third thing is innocence. Yeah, yeah,

  441. I feel it. I feel it. I feel it. I

  442. feel it. Can I start with number one? Number one,

  443. it's inheritance. Inheritance is a transfer. Holln lujah. It is

  444. a transfer of assets that are activated and available and

  445. made after the death of the ANTISETI did you hear

  446. what I just said? The inheritance is a transfer. I

  447. feel this thing right here. Some of you have been

  448. wondering why things have been going away, But now that

  449. you are child of God, there's about to be a transfer. Yeah, yeah,

  450. there's about God says what Because you are my child,

  451. what belongs to me now belongs to you. An inheritance

  452. is a transfer of assets, and they are activated and

  453. available and made after the death of the antecedent. So

  454. in order for me to get this, somebody had to die. Okay,

  455. all right, all right, all right, all right, all right,

  456. all right, in order for me to get the will,

  457. the will of God, the will of God. See when

  458. I read the Bible, I started to do this because

  459. I get excited. See see now I'm all starting to

  460. make sense. I got an inheritance, but why can't I

  461. tap into it? Well, in the Old Testament, everybody didn't

  462. have that, so they had to wait years and years

  463. and years and years until Jesus shows up, and then

  464. Jesus upon his death. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself.

  465. Let me get me, let me get a So usually

  466. watch this, the descendant has to meet certain demands or

  467. wait through a period of time of development to be

  468. trusted with what belongs to them. You need scripture, I

  469. got you Galatians first two says, but it's under guardians

  470. and stewards until the time appointed by the Father. The

  471. word guardian in this in the keyj King James is

  472. actually described as two turns. It is also defined as

  473. commissioner or manager. The word steward in that text means governor.

  474. It means a house to s distributor, an overseer, a

  475. fiscal or financial agency. So we get to see what

  476. looked like in the Old Testament. This is why we

  477. saw so many angelic miracles. This is why God would

  478. show up literally because because because what was available to

  479. the people of God wasn't Jesus hadn't come yet. So

  480. we had angels, the stewards, We had God the guardian

  481. that would decide when they needed something. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

  482. Moses is at the Red Sea. He don't got Jesus

  483. and the we're gonna have to do something, all right,

  484. so let's release a miracle right here. You follow me yet, Samson,

  485. Samson is strong. Samson is strong, but he just cut

  486. his hair. So he just disobeyed me. So I'm gonna

  487. bless him one more time. So I'm gonna administer strength

  488. even though he disobeyed me. So so, so the Stewards

  489. get together and they decide, Okay, this is what we'll do.

  490. And some of your lives have been this. Some of

  491. you want the things that God has for you, but

  492. you don't necessarily know how to manage it right, And

  493. so God and his angels are like, you don't need it. No, God,

  494. I like him. I think he my husband. You don't

  495. need it. You don't need it. You don't need it,

  496. You don't God. I really think this job that's a

  497. six figure salary is really for what you have of me.

  498. You don't need it, don't You don't need it. You

  499. don't need it. No, no, no, And some of you

  500. are to pause and thank God that he needed not

  501. give you what you were not ready for, so you

  502. don't need it. Here we see that even though they're

  503. a child of God and God has things he wants

  504. to give them, But because the child can't be trusted

  505. with the weight of the responsibility, he has left the

  506. decision making to him and who works with him. But

  507. when the right time came, and by the right time,

  508. I mean when Jesus came and through his blood and

  509. his death and resurrection, we have now been adopted as sons. Okay,

  510. you need to understand what I'm saying. You need to

  511. understand what I'm saying. So this will that's been on

  512. your life before the foundations of the earth, there were

  513. things that God says belonged to you, but you had

  514. no access to it. And so Jesus said, I'll go

  515. down and be the antecedent that would die so that

  516. they could have access to what already belonged to them

  517. because for some reason, because of sin, they sold their

  518. stuff over to somebody else. We're not gonna get there,

  519. but but, but, but I'm gonna use this moment and

  520. the resurrection to be your adoption papers.

  521. Not.

  522. The only way that you're gonna get this is you

  523. have to sign on. So God says, I've done my part.

  524. Somebody just preest it. I've done what I need to do.

  525. I've got the earth is the Lord's the fullness there

  526. are Jesus, come God and rose from the grave. Now,

  527. all I need you to do is sign on the

  528. dotted line, and so let me help you. Your faith

  529. serves as your signature. Oh oh yeah, I feel it

  530. right here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yea yeah. Your

  531. faith serves as a signature on God's will for your life. Okay,

  532. and now you're saying you now belong to the God

  533. you believe in. I need somebody to shout, I belong

  534. to God. And the beautiful thing about as inheritance is

  535. not only do I belong to God, but now what

  536. belongs to God now belongs to me. So why are

  537. we praying for things that already belong to us? You

  538. to say it belongs to me? See see this, this,

  539. this causes you to walk into certain things with a

  540. different level of confidence, with a different level of confidence,

  541. with a different level of pride. Not in yourself. You

  542. don't boast in yourself, but you're boasting to the whose will,

  543. whose name is on the will. See. I need you

  544. to understand the only reason why I'm able up here

  545. to walk and talk and preach to you as somebody

  546. who don't like to be in front of a lot

  547. of people. Is because I got confidence and whose name

  548. is on the will? So it ain't my power, it's

  549. it's it's his power. It ain't it ain't my strength,

  550. it's actually his strength. So because of the inheritance, what

  551. belongs to God now belongs to me. You're telling me,

  552. I've been warned with the enemy this long, trying to

  553. trying to negotiate with him, and it actually belonged to me.

  554. You tell me that I've been I've been trying to

  555. hear what medicine can do for me. Me, I've been

  556. talking about what the doctors and the machines can do

  557. for me. And all I needed to do was tap

  558. in with the one who made me. You telling me

  559. that what he has, the wholeness of who he is,

  560. it belongs to me. That's exactly what I'm saying to you.

  561. What belongs to God, if you are in alignment with him,

  562. it belongs to you. Can't say, man, let me get

  563. to number two. Number two is imagination. This is gonna

  564. mess me up. I feel it. It's gonna mess me up.

  565. Imagination is the faculty or action of forming new ideas

  566. or concepts of external objects not present to the census.

  567. If you're gonna be a child to God, you gotta

  568. be used to coming up with ideas and new concepts

  569. that the world hadn't seen yet. Children of God must

  570. maintain the posture of faith because your imagination remains flexible

  571. through your faith. Even in the natural. They say, it's

  572. hard for somebody that's forty to pick up and learn

  573. something because their brain is no longer as flexible when

  574. it was a child. And so when a person is

  575. a child, they're able to learn things, adapt to things,

  576. undergo new loose situations, and adapt to them because their

  577. brain remains flexible. See, a child don't know they can't

  578. fly yet, a child don't know that anything is nothing

  579. is possible. Yet they don't they actually believe they can

  580. actually do anything. And so God says, the only way

  581. you can understand the kingdom is if you come in

  582. as little children. You know why, because you need to

  583. know that with God, all things, all things are possible.

  584. Imagination is to say, what I've seen my father do

  585. with his power and his permission, I can do it.

  586. You didn't what I say at TC, you didn't. It's

  587. all right, it's all right. What I see my daddy do.

  588. If he gives me permission and the power to do it,

  589. I can do it. I gotta move, I gotta move.

  590. I gotta move. So as long as you are in

  591. alignment with the Father, there is no limit to your ability.

  592. You need scripture. I got you Mark eleven and twenty

  593. three says for surely, I say to you, whoever says

  594. to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea,

  595. watch this, and does not doubt in his heart, but

  596. believe that those things that he says will be done,

  597. he will have watched this. Whatever he says. You didn't

  598. hear what I said. I thought. I thought the word

  599. would make you jump. Knowing that if you are in

  600. alignment with if what you want is what God wants,

  601. then you can ask what you will.

  602. Now.

  603. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence

  604. are things not seen. Got a bloom, I got a booth.

  605. A slave's creativity is constricted by their reality, but a

  606. son's reality is constructed by their creativity as a as

  607. a child of the far that you're gonna have to

  608. be familiar with seeing things that aren't really there. Yeah,

  609. you're gonna have to get used to looking crazy the folks.

  610. You're gonna have to Yeah, man, could I can I

  611. preach this thing? I feel you gotta you got you

  612. gotta get used to. This is why crazy faith makes sense,

  613. because because it's crazy to the world, but it's faith

  614. to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They say it can't happen,

  615. but I know that with God, all things are possible.

  616. It's it's kind of like when I was a kid,

  617. I wasn't good in school all time, and because of that,

  618. they would send me the time out, and in time out,

  619. they would make me sit in this corner, facing the

  620. wall and away from whatever's going on over there. But

  621. what they didn't know was I had an imagination. Yeah,

  622. oh oh yeah, okay, okay, and so and so by

  623. the time my time out was a I don't build

  624. a whole building. I don't I got an army over here,

  625. I got unicorns finding over there, and I'm the president

  626. down here, and all I got is just a hole

  627. in the wall. And so now the teacher's trying to

  628. understand how is he smiling when it ain't nothing death.

  629. It's because I see something that you don't. Oh I

  630. feel God a bright right right here, right here, right here.

  631. Some of you gotta walk into your house, and you

  632. got to start looking around and getting excited because because

  633. because you see stuff that ain't there, people think you crazy,

  634. bah bah, But you see stuff. I see things that

  635. ain't here. I'm speaking things that being off. That's all

  636. they already, that's though they already are. I feel God

  637. right about here. You know why you can do it

  638. because your father did it first. In Genesis chapter one,

  639. O God, I feel you right here. The world was

  640. dark and boyd and thought form, and he started looking

  641. around and saying, I see I see animals right here.

  642. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I

  643. see I see oceans over here. Yeah, I see I

  644. see waters being divided from the waters right here. I

  645. see fish of the sea. I see files of the

  646. am I see man. I see them being fruitful. I

  647. see them moultupont I see them subjoying. I see, I

  648. see it. Some of you need to walk to that

  649. doctor's room. I feel some of you in that doctor's room.

  650. The doctors have given you up. They say you got

  651. zero chance. But I dare you to stir your imagination

  652. in the name of Jesus. I see things that benh

  653. I see things that say that can't happen, and I

  654. see it differently. I see it God, I see it.

  655. Some of you are trying to understand. God, why do

  656. you got me in this field? This feel don't make

  657. sense to me. I don't qualify for it. But you

  658. gotta stop complain it. I need you to activate your imagination. God.

  659. What do you want me to see right here? God?

  660. What you want me to do right here? God? What

  661. does it look like in your eyes? I'm willing to

  662. see it now? It makes sense why you're the only

  663. ones saved in your family?

  664. Yeah?

  665. Yeah, yeah, I feel in this thing. Some of you

  666. got them come to the grips that God wants you

  667. to see something that's not there. And when you speak

  668. that thing, as long as you got God on your side,

  669. that will happen. Do I have any crazy folks in here? No? No, no, no, no, no, no,

  670. no no no. I'm talking about are you willing to

  671. look like a fool to the world? Are you? Are

  672. you willing for them to say no one has ever

  673. done that, no one, No one has ever come from

  674. Fort Myers and been successful unless they've been a football

  675. player or rapper. Nobody can grow up in a one

  676. h ol home in the projects and get saved and

  677. priest of God. I said, a hey, I see it.

  678. I see it God, I see it. Somebody see it.

  679. I need you to see it. Whatever God you, whatever

  680. you've been promises, whatever you've been believing God for, I

  681. need you to see it, even though it don't exist yet.

  682. Now faith is the subset of Faith's home. Forth be

  683. out of this come. I don't see it now, but

  684. I'm gonna see it. I see. I see it. The miracle,

  685. the miracle, I see it, the victory over this sickness.

  686. I see it. I know the not to say, they

  687. don't see me coming out of here, but I see it.

  688. No one's ever graduated from college, but I see it.

  689. If you got crazy base, somebody say, I see I

  690. see it. Can I preach to my wife real quickly.

  706. hospital room to shout. I see it. I tell you

  707. over your house to shout. I see it. My children

  708. aren't saved you, but I see it. I've been trying

  709. to conceive, but I see it.

  710. Kay, I say it, I say it, I said, I said,

  712. I see y'all. Give me a moment. I gotta encourage myself.

  713. I see it.

  714. Everything that he promised, huntiac.

  715. Everything that he promised. I see every victory.

  716. I see.

  717. Everything that I need. I see a how's double the

  718. under my feet.

  719. I see it.

  720. Act and I see it. Yeah, mh see it. Ye

  721. we'll shoot my bye back show blah blah blah blah bla.

  722. I see it. The seats being filled not with religious

  723. folks but even game bangers. Oh yeah, come here, I

  724. see it. I see it. I see it. You living

  725. on the street corner. I see it. The ones that

  726. the Saints don't want. I see it. This church shall

  727. be a house of work. I see it. Oh yeah,

  728. I see it. I see it. I see it. I

  729. see it. I see it past the mic. I see it.

  730. Yeah yeah, I see it. I see it. I see it.

  731. Eyes have not to see, but I see it. Natural

  732. eyes have not seen it, but I see it. I

  733. see it. You're gonna get delivered. I see it. As

  734. of today, your addiction is broken. I see it. I

  735. see I'm trying to move, but I see it. I

  736. see it. It's just like when I was three years

  737. old in time. I see it. I see stuff that

  738. ain't even there. I see stuff that natural people say

  739. is impossible. I see things that religious folks can't see.

  740. I'm a'm all to see in the spit. Every scene

  741. will be feeled. I see it. Racism will be broken.

  742. I see it. There will be no more division among

  743. the church. I see it.

  744. I see.

  745. How you gonna say that, Roosevelt, you in Tulsa, do

  746. you not remember what happened? But I see it. I

  747. see it.

  748. I see it.

  749. I'm gonna close right here. I'm gonna close right here

  750. the last point, it's innocence. Innocence is described as a

  751. pure posture. I think your holy ghost with the intent

  752. without the intent to deceive. Yeah, a naive person. God

  753. told me. I don't care. I don't know who this

  754. is for, but I need you to get back to

  755. that child's posture where you were believing that everything was

  756. good and that everything would work out for the good.

  757. Because you gotta understand. The weapons against your innocence is

  758. guilt in shame. I feel you in there. When the

  759. enemy attacks children, it is with the intent to rob

  760. them of their innocence. Little Saba news and I feel

  761. about forty of you who've been heard of your childhood.

  762. And he said, I try to believe the best in people,

  763. but because of what was done to me, Yeah, yeah,

  764. I feel guilty. And that's how you know it's a

  765. trick of the enemy. Something happened to you, but you

  766. blaming yourself because the accuser of their brethren, he does

  767. a good job and making you feel like you were

  768. responsible for what happened. So the weapons against your innocence

  769. are guilt and shame. So the only way to come

  770. back guilt and shame and maintain innocence. It's forgiveness. Yeah,

  771. we'll close, mm hmm. The word abbah unique scripture, I

  772. got your Galatians four and six says and because you

  773. are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his

  774. Son into your hearts, crying out Abba father. The word

  775. abba father is a term that means papa, means daddy.

  776. Little children who have a deep relationship with their father

  777. use this term. It's normally seen in Jewish culture, the

  778. running to the father. Watch this.

  779. Whether enjoy fear, sadness, or pain, they run and say Dad,

  780. they run and say Papa.

  781. And so, as a child of God, you got to

  782. maintain your innocence because what the enemy wants through kilt

  783. and shame is for you to hide yourself from it.

  784. When Audam an Eve sinned against God, Eve send Adam rebelt,

  785. it's another conversation. The first thing they did was they

  786. It's the moment they sold themselves into slavery. Not when

  787. they did wrong, but when they tried to. I gotta

  788. hide myself because I don't want him to see me

  789. like this. I don't want him to see me like

  790. this because I can't forgive myself I can't believe I

  791. messed up. We need to have a little bit more

  792. grace with Eve and grace with Adam. We do, but

  793. because because what would you do when the moment you

  794. realize you disappointed God for the first time? What do

  795. you do with that guilt? So all the way to

  796. come back guilt and shame and maintain innocence. It's forgiveness.

  797. Forgiveness in three ways, except that the Father has forgiven you.

  798. Accept that you can forgive those who hurt you. Accept

  799. that you can forgive yourself for the people you hurt,

  800. and clue to yourself. Slaves and those who lived under

  801. the law don't feel safe enough to approach the Father

  802. if they've done something wrong. But a son knows whether

  803. I did it right or I got it wrong. I

  804. can always run to you. And I don't know. If

  805. you're watching online, I don't know you feel guilty. You

  806. probably just tune in. Don't know how you got here.

  807. You see it, this big six ' eight dude preaching

  808. like it, don't lost his mind, running around like a

  809. football player on stage. I don't know, but you said

  810. something kept you here, and I think this is the

  811. moment I want to give an opportunity. I want to

  812. pray for people really before we go three prayer calls.

  813. The first prayer call, it is for those who need

  814. Jesus in their life as their personal Lord and savior.

  815. We talked about inheritance, but listen, inheritance means nothing if

  816. you don't know Jesus. You're still in slavery. If you

  817. don't know Jesus. And you got to believe in your

  818. heart and confess with your mouth that he is the Lord,

  819. that he died and rose from the grave for you

  820. to be saved. So the first call, every head bow,

  821. every id close, and you say in pastor role, I realized,

  822. I've been living this long without Jesus in my life,

  823. and I want my inheritance. But most importantly, I want

  824. to meet the one who's the reason why I have

  825. a inheritance. I want Jesus. That's you in the room

  826. on the counter. I want you to throw your hand up. One, two, three,

  827. I see you, I see you, I see you. Oh yeah,

  828. I see I see I see I see I see you.

  829. Keep the hand up the next prayer. You know, they

  830. say the angels rejoice over one. I saw seven or eight,

  831. But that's all right. If that's your online, I want

  832. you to type that's me, that's mean, that's me, that's me,

  833. that's me. I want Jesus. I want my inheritance. I

  834. want to know my father's name. I want to know

  835. the name he has for me. If you want Jesus,

  836. type that's me. Second prayer, I want to pray for

  837. those who've been struggling with their imagination. You've been, you've been,

  838. You've been disappointed, and now doubt has caused your brain

  839. to become rigid and you're not flexible. So when you

  840. hear a prophecy and you hear the word of God,

  841. you almost think that don't apply to me. I want

  842. a minister to your imagination. If that's you and you're saying, God,

  843. help me believe again. God, I want to believe you

  844. can do the impossible. Help my unbelief. If that's you

  845. want to come through, I want you to raise your hand. One, two, three,

  846. I see you, I see it, I see I see

  847. a s I see you see Last for a call

  848. for the one whose innocence have been robbed. You're saying,

  849. Pastor Role, I can't let go what they did to me.

  850. I can't let go of what I did to myself,

  851. and I'm ashamed. I feel guilty. I feel like I'm

  852. not worthy to come to the Father. I'm praying that

  853. God would restore my heart and give me that innocence

  854. back where I don't look like what happened to me

  855. when I was three, where I don't look like what

  856. happened to me in my childhood. If that's you and

  857. you're saying God, I'm praying that you would restore my innocence.

  858. On the counter, three would you throw up your hand? One? Two? Three?

  859. I see, I see, yeah, I see you. Listen, listen

  860. if you raise your hand, and only if you're comfortable,

  861. I want you to come meet me down here. I

  862. want you to come meet me down here if you

  863. want to receive Jesus asking God to help you. See

  864. how you not by yourself? You see that's the trick

  865. that the end to make you think me by yourself. Yeah,

  866. look at this, Look at this, Look at this. Look

  867. at healing happening right now. Look at salvation happening right now.

  868. Not just women but men are coming to the Do

  869. you see what's happening right now? M thank you God, HM.

  870. As you make your way down here. I want you

  871. to know I have no special powers. I got an

  872. imagination that believes in the God that could do anything.

  873. That's all I got. But you coming down here in faith,

  874. it's making an open proclamation to your father saying these

  875. three things. God, I want an inheritance. God. I believe

  876. that with your help, my imagination will be restored, and

  877. that God, you can heal that broken place that robbed

  878. me of my innocence. I see specifically those who have

  879. been sexually abused, those who have been verbally abused. That's

  880. not your name. I don't care what he said to you.

  881. I don't care what she said to you. That's not

  882. your name. Men who have been incarcerated, inmate, it's not

  883. your name. Forget that number right now. If any man

  884. be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things

  885. are passed away, yeah, perceiving, and behold, all things become new.

  886. I want you all to know the Father is here today.

  887. Father's here, Father's here, Father's here right there. Listen, Dan,

  888. you can cry as I'm a six eighth man, three

  889. hundred and sixty five, I lost forty five pounds. Praise Jesus.

  890. It now makes sense like I'm like God, I wanted

  891. to play football. Why you send me up here to

  892. do this? And he say, listen, man, there's a lot

  893. of men who feel they can't be vulnerable. I was

  894. talking to my bro Jonathan, we were working out. He said,

  895. God specifically made you this way, Bro, as a six

  896. eight man who looks like alignman on the pro football team.

  897. You're crying out to the Lord. And he said, because

  898. I see you do it, I feel like I can

  899. do it. So I want you to know the coolest

  900. thing you can do, the most gangst the thing you

  901. can do. Bro David was an o g ot and

  902. he cried out to the Lord. I want you to know,

  903. as a man, you can cry out to him. There

  904. is nothing nothing diminishes your masculinity. In fact, it proves

  905. your masculinity to cry out to the Lord. So, every man,

  906. every woman, every boy, every girl, can we lift our

  907. hands to our Daddy. Sure? And for those that chose

  908. to want to be saved, I want you to know

  909. we never pray alone. We're gonna all pray this to

  910. pray together. I want you to repeat after me. Father,

  911. Come on, say it to him. Father. I've heard your word.

  912. I receive it. Father. I embrace your presence. Thank you

  913. for Jesus. I believe he lived, I believe he died.

  914. I believe he rose from the dead. But when he

  915. got up, because he is in me and I am

  916. in him, I can get up to. Today is the

  917. day that my inheritance is realized, my imagination is rebuilt,

  918. and my innocence is restored. Satan, come on, I need

  919. you to talk back to him. Satan, whatever you called me,

  920. it's not my name. I am not what you said

  921. about me. I am not what you called me. I

  922. am a child of the Most High God, Holy Spirit,

  923. living me, breathing me, moving me, yours, change me. Thank

  924. you in Jesus' name. Now, if you believe that prayer,
