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 right?
-
All right? All right? So reading glacis for first chapter.
-
We're gonna read to the seventh verse. It says, now,
-
I say that the air, so long as he is
-
a child, does not differ at all from a slave,
-
though he is master of all. What good is to
-
have everything? And you don't know you got it? Okay,
-
it's no different than a slave. But it's under guardians
-
and stewards until the time appointed by the Father. Even so,
-
when we were children, we were in bondage under the
-
elements of the world. Can we keep going? It says,
-
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent
-
forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law.
-
He didn't just come to live on the earth, but
-
he came to redeem those who were under the law,
-
that we might receive adoption. Everyone say adoption as sons.
-
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the
-
spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying out Abbah, Father,
-
can you, if you got Jesus on the inside, can
-
you just call out to your father, call his name, Father,
-
Call err yeah yeah yeah yeah Abba father, Abbah Father.
-
This is part I love. Therefore, you are no longer
-
a slave but a son. Since you're a son, then
-
you are an heir. I need about twenty of you
-
to just shout, I got something that belonged to me.
-
I got. I know we're just reading the scripture, but
-
I need you to understand because your father, if you
-
know who he is, because he's on your side, I
-
can't get caught up. I'm not even preaching again, but
-
I need you to know you are an air of
-
the Most High God. I need you to know your position.
-
Right now, somebody shout, I am in the air of
-
the Most High God. I dare you to say, I
-
know who I am. Oh. Okay, okay, okay. That's only
-
for twenty y'all. They understand what that means. All right,
-
all right? Therefore, and if a son than the heir
-
of God through Jesus Christ, can we jump to thirty
-
one real quick? So, then, brethren, we are not children
-
of the bond woman, but of the free. If I
-
could talk to you today for texts. I want to
-
talk to you and tell you that the Lord is
-
challenging you to stay in a child's place. Yeah. Can
-
you look to the person to your left and say, hey,
-
how you doing? How you're doing. I know this might
-
sound weird, but I believe God wants you to stay
-
in a child's place. They didn't hear what you said.
-
They didn't hear what you said. Find you another neighbor
-
because sometimes they still waking up, they need some Starbucks's
-
whatever it is, and say neighbor today and moving forward,
-
stay in a child's place. Sometimes you got to be
-
like David and you got to encourage yourself. I need
-
you to talk to yourself real quick and sayself, I'm
-
going to stay in a child's place. In Jesus name,
-
let's pray. Father, we lift your name up. You are holy,
-
you are righteous, you are faithful. Thank you for your presence. God.
-
You don't manifest yourself everywhere, so thank you that you
-
pulled up to TC and you showed yourself strong. Thank
-
you for the worship. This is just a light show.
-
If you don't live here. This is just a motivational
-
speech if you don't live here, So thank you that
-
week after week you show us that as long as
-
we're in linement with you, you dwell in our presence
-
in a way that cannot be denied. So God, used
-
this body of clay, use these lips of clay. I
-
pray that what we've done together in the clause that
-
be revealed in this moment. God, there's somebody that needs
-
to know who you are today. And God, I pray
-
that the breath of the Living God would breathe through me,
-
that none of my inadequacies, none of the things that
-
I'm worried about, my fears, my nurse, none of that
-
gets in the way of what you want to do today.
-
And as I pray always that your Holy Spirit would
-
set me on fire so the world can watch me burn.
-
For you think you that the fire didn't consume me,
-
but it's shaped me and who you called me to be.
-
I know we don't thank God for the fire, but
-
can we thank him that we we lost some things
-
in the fire, but what was supposed to remain remain.
-
Can we Holy Spirit set me on fire so the
-
whole world can watch me burn for you send Jesus name,
-
we pray. Everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen, staying in the
-
child's place. Alleluyah, Thank you Lord for your blessing, Thank
-
your Lord for your spirit. I want to ask you,
-
do y'all remember when we were kids, and remember when
-
we were kids in our mom's house and yeah, screaming
-
like that, Alla leaves. That's all I love. I love that.
-
Remember when we always saying I can't wait till I
-
get grown. I get to work my own job and
-
pay my own bills. I could leave the door open
-
if I want to, I could turn the light on
-
if I feel like it, and leave it on if
-
I want to sleep with it on. Only to become
-
an adult and say, Lord, I wish I could go
-
back to the day's when I was a kid, when
-
all I had to do was just wake up and
-
eat somebody else's groceries and turn on the switch and
-
didn't have to worry about how did it come on?
-
And turn on the hot water and use it all
-
up without having to worry about paying for and living
-
in a house where there's an over him. I remember,
-
I remember looking at my bills a couple of months
-
back on the table, and it was like a family
-
reunion almost. You know, when you see somebody when they're
-
grown up. And I was looking at them bills, I
-
was like, I remember when you used to be a
-
coloring book, Like like, I remember you used to be
-
some jugio cars. What happened you? Just now? You you
-
just frowing up? Because because what I love is childhood
-
is such a beautiful thing. Yeah, childhood is such a
-
beautiful They used to have a song back to day.
-
I don't know how young y'all are, but it's like
-
back in the days when I was not a kid anymore.
-
For some day, See look at all the millennials, like
-
what what is back in the days? What is that? Right?
-
But child But childhood is a beautiful thing. It is
-
a delightful thing. But it's also a dangerous thing because
-
because watch this, our lives are sculpted by the experience
-
of our childhood. Oh see, I can look at a
-
person right now, I can look at the age. I
-
can look at where they are, they could be forty
-
right now, and the way that they move, the way
-
they adjust, the way they evaluate situations, the way they analyze,
-
the way they respond, the way they deal with conflict.
-
I could track it back somewhere. I'm preaching already, don't
-
miss it. I can track it back to the childhood.
-
The reason why is because, according to studies, ninety percent
-
of the bind your brain is fully functioned with all
-
its faculties. Watch this at the age of five, and
-
it's fully mature at the age of twenty five. So
-
that means between five and twenty five, the things that
-
happen to you, the triggers, the traumas, the situations, the grief,
-
all of it gets stored here in the mind, and
-
for the next twenty years, your brain is building a
-
path of decision making based on what happened between that time.
-
And there's some people. Don't judge them. Might be you
-
talking about your cousin. We'll just call him Pooky. Pooky's
-
still forty years old, and he responding the way he
-
did when he was fifteen. Don't look at nobody, look
-
at me. Don't look at nobody, look at me. I'm
-
not here to get nobody in trouble. But but, but
-
but we're not careful. If we're not careful, we'll find
-
ourselves living on autopilot because of what has happened when
-
we were five, what happened to us when we were seven,
-
what happened to us when we were fifteen, twenty, twenty one,
-
twenty two. But I got some prescription for you. This
-
is why Romans twelve says it this way, and be
-
not conformed to this world, but be ye transform how
-
by the renewing of your mind. So I came to
-
tell you today this ain't even the word. I'm just
-
passing by. But for some of you, if you need
-
to break a cycle, you need to ask God to
-
touch your mind. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't want to
-
be fifty still responding then with things and answering questions
-
and problem solving like you're fifteenth, then you got to
-
ask God to renew your mind. Because somebody say, God,
-
renew my mind. I gotta move, I gotta move. But
-
in Galatians, for Paul is writing a story to the
-
Church of Galatia, and he's continuing this argument, and he's
-
separating the difference between law and love. So he's revealing
-
to us the difference between a son in law and
-
a son in love. Okay, okay, I'm walking with you,
-
holy girl. So I'm walking with you. Ce Cee. See
-
when I got married. When I got married, my father
-
in law and my brother in law would call me
-
a son or a brother in love. And I was
-
confused because I did not come up from healthy backgrounds
-
growing up. I came up from a separate family. I
-
didn't know what the institution of marriage looked like. And
-
so I said, because I signed on the dotted line,
-
I now qualified to be a son of law in law.
-
So why are you calling me a son in love?
-
And then he explained to me, you are a part
-
of my family, whether you sign that or oh yeah,
-
oh yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling right here. He
-
was revealing, yeah, because there's some laws. Families have some laws,
-
and so if you break those laws, by their law,
-
you're no longer a son. I'm dealing with some right here,
-
because some family members are at war with each other
-
because the son didn't follow what the father of that
-
name had said. And now y'all in odds and you're
-
treating him like he's not a son. But I want
-
to bring you to the argument of Paul that I
-
need you to understand that when you are a son
-
in love, it doesn't matter what laws you keep or break.
-
It doesn't stop you from being a son in love.
-
How can I bring it to the church I need
-
some religious folks to let go that they are pretending
-
like they're saved because of what they don't do, and
-
what because they do. I don't listen to this, I
-
don't go there, I don't do this and do that.
-
All that is great, but if you think your salvation
-
is proven and built on what you do in the law,
-
then you're more different than a slate. I am a
-
child of God, not because of what I've done. I'm
-
a child because he loved me. Oh could you just
-
say he loves me right here right listen. I'm getting
-
some things figured out. I'm getting some things hinned out.
-
I'm not perfect. Sometimes I come to church on Sunday,
-
sometimes don't show up with ad today. But what I
-
realize is this relationship that I got with me and
-
my father is not based on what I do. Is
-
his love for me. I could get stuff there just
-
thinking on how much he loved me. You should get
-
You should just palls and just be thankful that he
-
loves you right where you are. He knows the stuff
-
that you hiding under that that lace front, he knows
-
what you hiding under that maybe lad, he knows what
-
you hiding. He knows the bbl all of them. He
-
don't care about none of that. He said, you are
-
not my daughter. You are not my Let me get
-
on the fellas too. Some of y'all think because you
-
got us six pack, and you got Jayson, and you
-
got money and this and that, you think that that
-
attributes to what God thinks of you. God says I
-
loved you at your worst, while you were yet a sinner.
-
He died for you. Somebody say he died for me. Okay, okay, sorry,
-
I'm sorry. I don't know how we got stuck there.
-
But but but Galatians four and one reveals to us
-
now that I say, I say that the heir as
-
long to watch these its in there. We're all his children.
-
I could shout right there, but I'm not going to
-
because I got a job to do. Okay, Now that
-
as an air, as long as he is a child,
-
he does not differ at all from a slave, though
-
he is master of all. Can I unpack this real quick?
-
A child? See? In this text, Paul gives us two
-
definitions of what a child is. In the beginning, he
-
shows us the negative context of what a child is see.
-
Words in Hebrew could be used multiple times, but being
-
different things. This is why you got to study and
-
re re re read the Bible, right right, So anyway,
-
a child in this text is different than the diverse
-
children in the thirty first verse. Right. So the one
-
here is a negative contotation here it is a child
-
in that verse means infant, it means baby, it means childish.
-
Watch this not speaking without word? Oh God, wordless. Wordless
-
means the inability to articulate or profess a thing. Cecc
-
let me explain some CCC. God is showing us the
-
correlation between a person that is a slave to sin
-
and it's not saved, right, But he's also showing how
-
ridiculous it looks for a religious person to think they
-
are saved by what they do and don't do. Because
-
when you lean too much on the law, you make
-
what Jesus Christ did to no effect. Are you understanding me?
-
And so you've got to be This is why the
-
scripture says, if you confess with your mouth and believe
-
in your heart that God, that the Lord Jesus died
-
and rose from the dead, then you will be saved.
-
See there's a two part there. Some of us believe,
-
but we haven't started using our ability to profess and
-
to articulate what we believe. And so what I'm saying is,
-
if all you're doing is living by the law, you
-
are no different than a slave. And a slave in
-
this text means a person who is in permanent service
-
watch this to another without the opportunity to own anything.
-
So you, with your little religious self, let me let
-
me bust your bubble. God is saying, if all you're
-
doing is living by the law and not bringing acknowledgement
-
to the grace that's on your life, you are no
-
different than a person who don't know Jesus at all.
-
Slave means a person who is in permanent position servitude
-
to another without the opportunity for ownership. So whether you
-
are under the law or an unbeliever, or you put
-
your salvation solely by the law as a believer, either
-
way you become equivalent to a slave. Can I give
-
you this to write down? If you refuse to buy
-
into the doctrine of sonship, by default, you sell yourself
-
into slavery. Can we scooba dive a little bit? Can we?
-
Can we do this? If you do not buy into
-
the doctrine of sonship then by default you have sold
-
yourself into slavery. Cause the question is what good is
-
to have asset assets when you don't have access? What
-
good is it? What good is it to have possessions
-
without the perspective? What good is it to have wealth
-
and you ain't got no wisdom? What good is it
-
to be to be in the most notorious name of
-
the name above all names? What good is to be
-
to have notoriety and be a son of the most
-
notorious man in the world, And you don't even know
-
your own name? Can I can?
-
I can? I know?
-
We gotta can I just can I just take a
-
little moment right here? See, one of the main tactics
-
of slavery is to remove you and to rename you.
-
Oh yeah, that's that's the trick of the enemy. Even
-
in the law, souls, just because you say, if you're
-
just living by the law, then guess what you are.
-
Because this is the thing. None of us have the
-
capability to live a sinless life. The law that was created,
-
it was a perfect thing. However, there's no one in
-
the earth. We were born in sin and shaped and iniquity,
-
so there was no way that we could hold ourselves
-
to this law. So the only person that could fulfill
-
this law was the name Jesus. So I'm trying to
-
break you from some of your religion. As you have
-
made your way that you live and what you do
-
and what you don't do, you've actually made it an idol. Okay,
-
I might get in trouble, don't keep my car all right,
-
all right, all right, But it leads to slavery. Slavery tactic.
-
The main goal, the main objective of slavery is to
-
remove you and then rename you. It is to remove you,
-
to change who you belong to, and then it's meant
-
to name you to change your behavior. You don't believe me,
-
You don't believe me. You don't you don't believe me.
-
Let me give you the let me give you context.
-
You remember the story of King nebu kanez Aar, correct,
-
and when he took captive of the Hebrew the Hebrews. Correct.
-
And so what we know those three Hebrew boys' names
-
are is what me Shack and Indigo right right right right?
-
Can I tell you something? Can I? Can I blow
-
your bubble really quick? Can I talk to you real quick?
-
Can I talk to you real quick? Can I tell
-
you that that's actually their slave name. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
-
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. So even years and
-
thousands of years later, we still calling them, they're oh
-
oh yeah, oh yeah. Can I can? I? Can I
-
explain this thing how I feel it? Can I explain it?
-
Can I can? Can I give it to you? The
-
three Hebrew boys actual names. Shadrack name was actually Hannah
-
and Aaya. Let me explain what his name means. It
-
means God has been gracious? Okay, okay me. Shack's name's
-
miss Scho and that means who is what God is? Okay?
-
And then a Bendigold name was actually Azayah, and his
-
name meant who God has helped. Now it makes sense
-
why God showed up in the fire furnace. That's a
-
whole nother birth. That's a whole nother word. I ain't
-
even here for that. But what I'm trying to get
-
you to see is when the enemy changes your name,
-
he can change your behavior, and he removes you from
-
what you belong to. Can I give you an example?
-
Can I give you an example? See I'm thirty, I'm
-
not gonna tell you that's none your missess anyway, I'm
-
a certain age in the thirties, right, and so because
-
you might have thought I was twenty eight, I I
-
don't want to ruin what you feel. I don't want
-
to ruin it. So I'm above I'm in an age group, right. Hallelujah.
-
Where I came from. Calling a woman a female adult
-
would get your lip busted. Oh here we go, here
-
we go. Don't get quiet on me now tc. But
-
now here in twenty twenty, I now see that women
-
are calling themselves a bad one. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
-
oh yeah. I'm gonna set you free today. Oh You're
-
gonna get this freedom. You gonna get this freedom. You
-
gonna get this freedom. You might not like it, but
-
you gonna get this freedom. So can I tell you
-
what that term means real quick? That term means a
-
female dog that is in heat. Watch this and ready
-
to pro create and lay with anything suitable or unsuitable.
-
As long as it's a counterpart, they're available. So now
-
you're wondering why you went a relationship and you and
-
you saying to yourself, this ain't even my type. How
-
did I How did I get here? I don't even
-
like that. I got standards, I got prefaces. How did
-
I end up here? Maybe somewhere along the line, you
-
allowed somebody to change your name? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
-
yeah yeah yeah. Hot Girl Summer? Can I get on it?
-
Real quick? Can I get on it? Can I get
-
on it? Hot girl summer means a time of cheating,
-
scam me and and manipulating men without any intent, without
-
any intentions of companionship. So you wonder why she stopped
-
calling you. But but but she called you during her
-
time of a Hot girl Summer? Am I going too deep?
-
Should I come up? Should I come up for air?
-
Sneaky lee? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm finna. We gonna
-
break it today. We're gonna break it today. Sneaky league
-
is a rendezvous with between two people who are looking
-
to do something together without any expectation of commitment. Now
-
you're wondering why they're always calling you at three in
-
the a of It's because you let them change your
-
name even in jail. When you go to jail. Don't
-
ask me how to know your own business. But when
-
you go to jail, the first thing they do is
-
they take you out of civilization and they change your name.
-
Or I'm about to deal with that devil today, Holy
-
Spirit help me. They change your name to inmate. I
-
feel God right here, I feel him, I feel him
-
right here. He changes your name to inmate. And so
-
now even when you get out of jail, you're struggling
-
how to live like a civilian because that name is
-
in your mind. But I need about thirty of you
-
to shout, the devil is a liar. That's not my name. God,
-
alive yourself to be confined by what the enemy has
-
called you. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I feel God right here.
-
I dare about twenty of you to shout, that's not
-
my name. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's not my name.
-
I know that you used to talking to somebody crazy,
-
but I need you to know that's not my name.
-
I know I've been to the doctor. Say they trying
-
to label me the sickness that I have, But that's
-
not my name. No no, no, no, no, no no
-

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

-

-
my The diagnosis lifted up and say all right, all right,
-

-
I am a child of God. I am the Head
-
and not the tale. I am above and not biddy.
-
I am the leander, that not the father devil. That's
-
not my name. I know some of you feel tied
-
to your past, but I need you to break loose
-
and give divorce right now and say, that's not my name.
-
I might have done it, but it's not who I am.
-
That's not my name. O God, there's something on that.
-
I speak to Transformation Church. It's in your name. They
-
want to call you things. They want to call you this,
-
they want to call you that. Hear the word of
-
the Lord. It's in your name to transform. It's in
-
your name to shift. It's in your name to take
-
a different shape. It's in your name to be flexible.
-
Whatever these enemies are saying around you, that's not my name.
-
That's not my name. I gotta move. I gotta move.
-
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am Oh God.
-
I'm trying to move the righteousness of God. I am
-
God forgiven. I am healed. I am healed. I am
-
I am. I am not cancer though I am not
-
high blood pressure. I am not diabetes. I am here.
-
That's my name and Jesus's name. I gotta move. I
-
got twenty minutes. I'm gonna get you out here. I'm
-
gonna get you out of here. Oh God, Okay, somebody
-
I say, I am a child of God. So there's
-
three things that I want you to hold on to
-
when it comes to being a child of God. I'm
-
gonna give it to you, all right now, three of them,
-
all three, and prayerfully we get through all three of them.
-
But y'all kind of reality, so I don't know if
-
we'll get doing. So I want to give you the
-
three points now in case we get stuck on point
-
number one, that's all right. The first point is a
-
child must hold on to their inheritance, all right, talk
-
that talk, holygos Okay. The second thing is their imagination.
-
I might get stuck there. I don't know. I might
-
get stuck there because I'm believing God for some things
-
I ain't seen yet. I gotta move. I gotta move,
-
I gotta move. And the third thing is innocence. Yeah, yeah,
-
I feel it. I feel it. I feel it. I
-
feel it. Can I start with number one? Number one,
-
it's inheritance. Inheritance is a transfer. Holln lujah. It is
-
a transfer of assets that are activated and available and
-
made after the death of the ANTISETI did you hear
-
what I just said? The inheritance is a transfer. I
-
feel this thing right here. Some of you have been
-
wondering why things have been going away, But now that
-
you are child of God, there's about to be a transfer. Yeah, yeah,
-
there's about God says what Because you are my child,
-
what belongs to me now belongs to you. An inheritance
-
is a transfer of assets, and they are activated and
-
available and made after the death of the antecedent. So
-
in order for me to get this, somebody had to die. Okay,
-
all right, all right, all right, all right, all right,
-
all right, in order for me to get the will,
-
the will of God, the will of God. See when
-
I read the Bible, I started to do this because
-
I get excited. See see now I'm all starting to
-
make sense. I got an inheritance, but why can't I
-
tap into it? Well, in the Old Testament, everybody didn't
-
have that, so they had to wait years and years
-
and years and years until Jesus shows up, and then
-
Jesus upon his death. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself.
-
Let me get me, let me get a So usually
-
watch this, the descendant has to meet certain demands or
-
wait through a period of time of development to be
-
trusted with what belongs to them. You need scripture, I
-
got you Galatians first two says, but it's under guardians
-
and stewards until the time appointed by the Father. The
-
word guardian in this in the keyj King James is
-
actually described as two turns. It is also defined as
-
commissioner or manager. The word steward in that text means governor.
-
It means a house to s distributor, an overseer, a
-
fiscal or financial agency. So we get to see what
-
looked like in the Old Testament. This is why we
-
saw so many angelic miracles. This is why God would
-
show up literally because because because what was available to
-
the people of God wasn't Jesus hadn't come yet. So
-
we had angels, the stewards, We had God the guardian
-
that would decide when they needed something. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
-
Moses is at the Red Sea. He don't got Jesus
-
and the we're gonna have to do something, all right,
-
so let's release a miracle right here. You follow me yet, Samson,
-
Samson is strong. Samson is strong, but he just cut
-
his hair. So he just disobeyed me. So I'm gonna
-
bless him one more time. So I'm gonna administer strength
-
even though he disobeyed me. So so, so the Stewards
-
get together and they decide, Okay, this is what we'll do.
-
And some of your lives have been this. Some of
-
you want the things that God has for you, but
-
you don't necessarily know how to manage it right, And
-
so God and his angels are like, you don't need it. No, God,
-
I like him. I think he my husband. You don't
-
need it. You don't need it. You don't need it,
-
You don't God. I really think this job that's a
-
six figure salary is really for what you have of me.
-
You don't need it, don't You don't need it. You
-
don't need it. No, no, no, And some of you
-
are to pause and thank God that he needed not
-
give you what you were not ready for, so you
-
don't need it. Here we see that even though they're
-
a child of God and God has things he wants
-
to give them, But because the child can't be trusted
-
with the weight of the responsibility, he has left the
-
decision making to him and who works with him. But
-
when the right time came, and by the right time,
-
I mean when Jesus came and through his blood and
-
his death and resurrection, we have now been adopted as sons. Okay,
-
you need to understand what I'm saying. You need to
-
understand what I'm saying. So this will that's been on
-
your life before the foundations of the earth, there were
-
things that God says belonged to you, but you had
-
no access to it. And so Jesus said, I'll go
-
down and be the antecedent that would die so that
-
they could have access to what already belonged to them
-
because for some reason, because of sin, they sold their
-
stuff over to somebody else. We're not gonna get there,
-
but but, but, but I'm gonna use this moment and
-
the resurrection to be your adoption papers.
-
Not.
-
The only way that you're gonna get this is you
-
have to sign on. So God says, I've done my part.
-
Somebody just preest it. I've done what I need to do.
-
I've got the earth is the Lord's the fullness there
-
are Jesus, come God and rose from the grave. Now,
-
all I need you to do is sign on the
-
dotted line, and so let me help you. Your faith
-
serves as your signature. Oh oh yeah, I feel it
-
right here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yea yeah. Your
-
faith serves as a signature on God's will for your life. Okay,
-
and now you're saying you now belong to the God
-
you believe in. I need somebody to shout, I belong
-
to God. And the beautiful thing about as inheritance is
-
not only do I belong to God, but now what
-
belongs to God now belongs to me. So why are
-
we praying for things that already belong to us? You
-
to say it belongs to me? See see this, this,
-
this causes you to walk into certain things with a
-
different level of confidence, with a different level of confidence,
-
with a different level of pride. Not in yourself. You
-
don't boast in yourself, but you're boasting to the whose will,
-
whose name is on the will. See. I need you
-
to understand the only reason why I'm able up here
-
to walk and talk and preach to you as somebody
-
who don't like to be in front of a lot
-
of people. Is because I got confidence and whose name
-
is on the will? So it ain't my power, it's
-
it's it's his power. It ain't it ain't my strength,
-
it's actually his strength. So because of the inheritance, what
-
belongs to God now belongs to me. You're telling me,
-
I've been warned with the enemy this long, trying to
-
trying to negotiate with him, and it actually belonged to me.
-
You tell me that I've been I've been trying to
-
hear what medicine can do for me. Me, I've been
-
talking about what the doctors and the machines can do
-
for me. And all I needed to do was tap
-
in with the one who made me. You telling me
-
that what he has, the wholeness of who he is,
-
it belongs to me. That's exactly what I'm saying to you.
-
What belongs to God, if you are in alignment with him,
-
it belongs to you. Can't say, man, let me get
-
to number two. Number two is imagination. This is gonna
-
mess me up. I feel it. It's gonna mess me up.
-
Imagination is the faculty or action of forming new ideas
-
or concepts of external objects not present to the census.
-
If you're gonna be a child to God, you gotta
-
be used to coming up with ideas and new concepts
-
that the world hadn't seen yet. Children of God must
-
maintain the posture of faith because your imagination remains flexible
-
through your faith. Even in the natural. They say, it's
-
hard for somebody that's forty to pick up and learn
-
something because their brain is no longer as flexible when
-
it was a child. And so when a person is
-
a child, they're able to learn things, adapt to things,
-
undergo new loose situations, and adapt to them because their
-
brain remains flexible. See, a child don't know they can't
-
fly yet, a child don't know that anything is nothing
-
is possible. Yet they don't they actually believe they can
-
actually do anything. And so God says, the only way
-
you can understand the kingdom is if you come in
-
as little children. You know why, because you need to
-
know that with God, all things, all things are possible.
-
Imagination is to say, what I've seen my father do
-
with his power and his permission, I can do it.
-
You didn't what I say at TC, you didn't. It's
-
all right, it's all right. What I see my daddy do.
-
If he gives me permission and the power to do it,
-
I can do it. I gotta move, I gotta move.
-
I gotta move. So as long as you are in
-
alignment with the Father, there is no limit to your ability.
-
You need scripture. I got you Mark eleven and twenty
-
three says for surely, I say to you, whoever says
-
to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea,
-
watch this, and does not doubt in his heart, but
-
believe that those things that he says will be done,
-
he will have watched this. Whatever he says. You didn't
-
hear what I said. I thought. I thought the word
-
would make you jump. Knowing that if you are in
-
alignment with if what you want is what God wants,
-
then you can ask what you will.
-
Now.
-
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence
-
are things not seen. Got a bloom, I got a booth.
-
A slave's creativity is constricted by their reality, but a
-
son's reality is constructed by their creativity as a as
-
a child of the far that you're gonna have to
-
be familiar with seeing things that aren't really there. Yeah,
-
you're gonna have to get used to looking crazy the folks.
-
You're gonna have to Yeah, man, could I can I
-
preach this thing? I feel you gotta you got you
-
gotta get used to. This is why crazy faith makes sense,
-
because because it's crazy to the world, but it's faith
-
to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They say it can't happen,
-
but I know that with God, all things are possible.
-
It's it's kind of like when I was a kid,
-
I wasn't good in school all time, and because of that,
-
they would send me the time out, and in time out,
-
they would make me sit in this corner, facing the
-
wall and away from whatever's going on over there. But
-
what they didn't know was I had an imagination. Yeah,
-
oh oh yeah, okay, okay, and so and so by
-
the time my time out was a I don't build
-
a whole building. I don't I got an army over here,
-
I got unicorns finding over there, and I'm the president
-
down here, and all I got is just a hole
-
in the wall. And so now the teacher's trying to
-
understand how is he smiling when it ain't nothing death.
-
It's because I see something that you don't. Oh I
-
feel God a bright right right here, right here, right here.
-
Some of you gotta walk into your house, and you
-
got to start looking around and getting excited because because
-
because you see stuff that ain't there, people think you crazy,
-
bah bah, But you see stuff. I see things that
-
ain't here. I'm speaking things that being off. That's all
-
they already, that's though they already are. I feel God
-
right about here. You know why you can do it
-
because your father did it first. In Genesis chapter one,
-
O God, I feel you right here. The world was
-
dark and boyd and thought form, and he started looking
-
around and saying, I see I see animals right here.
-
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I
-
see I see oceans over here. Yeah, I see I
-
see waters being divided from the waters right here. I
-
see fish of the sea. I see files of the
-
am I see man. I see them being fruitful. I
-
see them moultupont I see them subjoying. I see, I
-
see it. Some of you need to walk to that
-
doctor's room. I feel some of you in that doctor's room.
-
The doctors have given you up. They say you got
-
zero chance. But I dare you to stir your imagination
-
in the name of Jesus. I see things that benh
-
I see things that say that can't happen, and I
-
see it differently. I see it God, I see it.
-
Some of you are trying to understand. God, why do
-
you got me in this field? This feel don't make
-
sense to me. I don't qualify for it. But you
-
gotta stop complain it. I need you to activate your imagination. God.
-
What do you want me to see right here? God?
-
What you want me to do right here? God? What
-
does it look like in your eyes? I'm willing to
-
see it now? It makes sense why you're the only
-
ones saved in your family?
-
Yeah?
-
Yeah, yeah, I feel in this thing. Some of you
-
got them come to the grips that God wants you
-
to see something that's not there. And when you speak
-
that thing, as long as you got God on your side,
-
that will happen. Do I have any crazy folks in here? No? No, no, no, no, no, no,
-
no no no. I'm talking about are you willing to
-
look like a fool to the world? Are you? Are
-
you willing for them to say no one has ever
-
done that, no one, No one has ever come from
-
Fort Myers and been successful unless they've been a football
-
player or rapper. Nobody can grow up in a one
-
h ol home in the projects and get saved and
-
priest of God. I said, a hey, I see it.
-
I see it God, I see it. Somebody see it.
-
I need you to see it. Whatever God you, whatever
-
you've been promises, whatever you've been believing God for, I
-
need you to see it, even though it don't exist yet.
-
Now faith is the subset of Faith's home. Forth be
-
out of this come. I don't see it now, but
-
I'm gonna see it. I see. I see it. The miracle,
-
the miracle, I see it, the victory over this sickness.
-
I see it. I know the not to say, they
-
don't see me coming out of here, but I see it.
-
No one's ever graduated from college, but I see it.
-
If you got crazy base, somebody say, I see I
-
see it. Can I preach to my wife real quickly.
-
Yeah, I see.
-
I see it. I see it. I see I see,
-
I see I see it. It's healing. I see it.
-
It's recovery.
-
I see it, constability, I see I.
-
See, I see it. What the I just say that
-
it is possible. I see, I see I see it.
-
To my father along pray for you. I don't know
-
if you get hear me right now, but I see
-
you by the strength of the Holy Ghost. I see
-
if you believe in God for Helen, you might as
-
well throw your hands up right now. I know the
-
doctor said it's not possible, but I need you in
-
that hospital room to speak those things that be not
-
I saw they already off. I tell you in that
-
hospital room to shout. I see it. I tell you
-
over your house to shout. I see it. My children
-
aren't saved you, but I see it. I've been trying
-
to conceive, but I see it.
-
Kay, I say it, I say it, I said, I said,
-
I said, I said, I see that.
-
I see y'all. Give me a moment. I gotta encourage myself.
-
I see it.
-
Everything that he promised, huntiac.
-
Everything that he promised. I see every victory.
-
I see.
-
Everything that I need. I see a how's double the
-
under my feet.
-
I see it.
-
Act and I see it. Yeah, mh see it. Ye
-
we'll shoot my bye back show blah blah blah blah bla.
-
I see it. The seats being filled not with religious
-
folks but even game bangers. Oh yeah, come here, I
-
see it. I see it. I see it. You living
-
on the street corner. I see it. The ones that
-
the Saints don't want. I see it. This church shall
-
be a house of work. I see it. Oh yeah,
-
I see it. I see it. I see it. I
-
see it. I see it past the mic. I see it.
-
Yeah yeah, I see it. I see it. I see it.
-
Eyes have not to see, but I see it. Natural
-
eyes have not seen it, but I see it. I
-
see it. You're gonna get delivered. I see it. As
-
of today, your addiction is broken. I see it. I
-
see I'm trying to move, but I see it. I
-
see it. It's just like when I was three years
-
old in time. I see it. I see stuff that
-
ain't even there. I see stuff that natural people say
-
is impossible. I see things that religious folks can't see.
-
I'm a'm all to see in the spit. Every scene
-
will be feeled. I see it. Racism will be broken.
-
I see it. There will be no more division among
-
the church. I see it.
-
I see.
-
How you gonna say that, Roosevelt, you in Tulsa, do
-
you not remember what happened? But I see it. I
-
see it.
-
I see it.
-
I'm gonna close right here. I'm gonna close right here
-
the last point, it's innocence. Innocence is described as a
-
pure posture. I think your holy ghost with the intent
-
without the intent to deceive. Yeah, a naive person. God
-
told me. I don't care. I don't know who this
-
is for, but I need you to get back to
-
that child's posture where you were believing that everything was
-
good and that everything would work out for the good.
-
Because you gotta understand. The weapons against your innocence is
-
guilt in shame. I feel you in there. When the
-
enemy attacks children, it is with the intent to rob
-
them of their innocence. Little Saba news and I feel
-
about forty of you who've been heard of your childhood.
-
And he said, I try to believe the best in people,
-
but because of what was done to me, Yeah, yeah,
-
I feel guilty. And that's how you know it's a
-
trick of the enemy. Something happened to you, but you
-
blaming yourself because the accuser of their brethren, he does
-
a good job and making you feel like you were
-
responsible for what happened. So the weapons against your innocence
-
are guilt and shame. So the only way to come
-
back guilt and shame and maintain innocence. It's forgiveness. Yeah,
-
we'll close, mm hmm. The word abbah unique scripture, I
-
got your Galatians four and six says and because you
-
are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his
-
Son into your hearts, crying out Abba father. The word
-
abba father is a term that means papa, means daddy.
-
Little children who have a deep relationship with their father
-
use this term. It's normally seen in Jewish culture, the
-
running to the father. Watch this.
-
Whether enjoy fear, sadness, or pain, they run and say Dad,
-
they run and say Papa.
-
And so, as a child of God, you got to
-
maintain your innocence because what the enemy wants through kilt
-
and shame is for you to hide yourself from it.
-
When Audam an Eve sinned against God, Eve send Adam rebelt,
-
it's another conversation. The first thing they did was they
-
It's the moment they sold themselves into slavery. Not when
-
they did wrong, but when they tried to. I gotta
-
hide myself because I don't want him to see me
-
like this. I don't want him to see me like
-
this because I can't forgive myself I can't believe I
-
messed up. We need to have a little bit more
-
grace with Eve and grace with Adam. We do, but
-
because because what would you do when the moment you
-
realize you disappointed God for the first time? What do
-
you do with that guilt? So all the way to
-
come back guilt and shame and maintain innocence. It's forgiveness.
-
Forgiveness in three ways, except that the Father has forgiven you.
-
Accept that you can forgive those who hurt you. Accept
-
that you can forgive yourself for the people you hurt,
-
and clue to yourself. Slaves and those who lived under
-
the law don't feel safe enough to approach the Father
-
if they've done something wrong. But a son knows whether
-
I did it right or I got it wrong. I
-
can always run to you. And I don't know. If
-
you're watching online, I don't know you feel guilty. You
-
probably just tune in. Don't know how you got here.
-
You see it, this big six ' eight dude preaching
-
like it, don't lost his mind, running around like a
-
football player on stage. I don't know, but you said
-
something kept you here, and I think this is the
-
moment I want to give an opportunity. I want to
-
pray for people really before we go three prayer calls.
-
The first prayer call, it is for those who need
-
Jesus in their life as their personal Lord and savior.
-
We talked about inheritance, but listen, inheritance means nothing if
-
you don't know Jesus. You're still in slavery. If you
-
don't know Jesus. And you got to believe in your
-
heart and confess with your mouth that he is the Lord,
-
that he died and rose from the grave for you
-
to be saved. So the first call, every head bow,
-
every id close, and you say in pastor role, I realized,
-
I've been living this long without Jesus in my life,
-
and I want my inheritance. But most importantly, I want
-
to meet the one who's the reason why I have
-
a inheritance. I want Jesus. That's you in the room
-
on the counter. I want you to throw your hand up. One, two, three,
-
I see you, I see you, I see you. Oh yeah,
-
I see I see I see I see I see you.
-
Keep the hand up the next prayer. You know, they
-
say the angels rejoice over one. I saw seven or eight,
-
But that's all right. If that's your online, I want
-
you to type that's me, that's mean, that's me, that's me,
-
that's me. I want Jesus. I want my inheritance. I
-
want to know my father's name. I want to know
-
the name he has for me. If you want Jesus,
-
type that's me. Second prayer, I want to pray for
-
those who've been struggling with their imagination. You've been, you've been,
-
You've been disappointed, and now doubt has caused your brain
-
to become rigid and you're not flexible. So when you
-
hear a prophecy and you hear the word of God,
-
you almost think that don't apply to me. I want
-
a minister to your imagination. If that's you and you're saying, God,
-
help me believe again. God, I want to believe you
-
can do the impossible. Help my unbelief. If that's you
-
want to come through, I want you to raise your hand. One, two, three,
-
I see you, I see it, I see I see
-
a s I see you see Last for a call
-
for the one whose innocence have been robbed. You're saying,
-
Pastor Role, I can't let go what they did to me.
-
I can't let go of what I did to myself,
-
and I'm ashamed. I feel guilty. I feel like I'm
-
not worthy to come to the Father. I'm praying that
-
God would restore my heart and give me that innocence
-
back where I don't look like what happened to me
-
when I was three, where I don't look like what
-
happened to me in my childhood. If that's you and
-
you're saying God, I'm praying that you would restore my innocence.
-
On the counter, three would you throw up your hand? One? Two? Three?
-
I see, I see, yeah, I see you. Listen, listen
-
if you raise your hand, and only if you're comfortable,
-
I want you to come meet me down here. I
-
want you to come meet me down here if you
-
want to receive Jesus asking God to help you. See
-
how you not by yourself? You see that's the trick
-
that the end to make you think me by yourself. Yeah,
-
look at this, Look at this, Look at this. Look
-
at healing happening right now. Look at salvation happening right now.
-
Not just women but men are coming to the Do
-
you see what's happening right now? M thank you God, HM.
-
As you make your way down here. I want you
-
to know I have no special powers. I got an
-
imagination that believes in the God that could do anything.
-
That's all I got. But you coming down here in faith,
-
it's making an open proclamation to your father saying these
-
three things. God, I want an inheritance. God. I believe
-
that with your help, my imagination will be restored, and
-
that God, you can heal that broken place that robbed
-
me of my innocence. I see specifically those who have
-
been sexually abused, those who have been verbally abused. That's
-
not your name. I don't care what he said to you.
-
I don't care what she said to you. That's not
-
your name. Men who have been incarcerated, inmate, it's not
-
your name. Forget that number right now. If any man
-
be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things
-
are passed away, yeah, perceiving, and behold, all things become new.
-
I want you all to know the Father is here today.
-
Father's here, Father's here, Father's here right there. Listen, Dan,
-
you can cry as I'm a six eighth man, three
-
hundred and sixty five, I lost forty five pounds. Praise Jesus.
-
It now makes sense like I'm like God, I wanted
-
to play football. Why you send me up here to
-
do this? And he say, listen, man, there's a lot
-
of men who feel they can't be vulnerable. I was
-
talking to my bro Jonathan, we were working out. He said,
-
God specifically made you this way, Bro, as a six
-
eight man who looks like alignman on the pro football team.
-
You're crying out to the Lord. And he said, because
-
I see you do it, I feel like I can
-
do it. So I want you to know the coolest
-
thing you can do, the most gangst the thing you
-
can do. Bro David was an o g ot and
-
he cried out to the Lord. I want you to know,
-
as a man, you can cry out to him. There
-
is nothing nothing diminishes your masculinity. In fact, it proves
-
your masculinity to cry out to the Lord. So, every man,
-
every woman, every boy, every girl, can we lift our
-
hands to our Daddy. Sure? And for those that chose
-
to want to be saved, I want you to know
-
we never pray alone. We're gonna all pray this to
-
pray together. I want you to repeat after me. Father,
-
Come on, say it to him. Father. I've heard your word.
-
I receive it. Father. I embrace your presence. Thank you
-
for Jesus. I believe he lived, I believe he died.
-
I believe he rose from the dead. But when he
-
got up, because he is in me and I am
-
in him, I can get up to. Today is the
-
day that my inheritance is realized, my imagination is rebuilt,
-
and my innocence is restored. Satan, come on, I need
-
you to talk back to him. Satan, whatever you called me,
-
it's not my name. I am not what you said
-
about me. I am not what you called me. I
-
am a child of the Most High God, Holy Spirit,
-
