-
miracles Miracles, OK, Because today is your prime time to set
-
up to set yourself and position yourself for the supernatural.
-
Oh yes, position yourself, especially in this week because
-
it's big. OK, Now the big truth that we
-
are grabbing here today is this. Miracles love to flow to places
-
where where the room's prepared. That's what miracles love, to
-
flow into a prepared where the room has been prepared.
-
That I I'm. Telling you this is something
-
the Lord showed. Miracles flow to the place where
-
the room has been prepared. Are you ready for the somebody?
-
OK, so where the room's been prepared for them, that's where
-
the miracles flow. That's where the miracles show
-
up, where the room has been prepared for them.
-
So before the miracle knocks on your door, before the
-
breakthrough knocks on your door, OK, you have got to be
-
prepared before the miracle. You have got to make room
-
Createspace. Make room and be ready to.
-
Welcome it. I made somebody and so miracles
-
are coming. OK, So make room for miracles
-
because they are heading our way.
-
They are coming your way. Miracles are being released, is
-
coming your way. And so they are looking for your
-
address. Oh.
-
I feel the anointing in this place.
-
Yeah. They're looking for your
-
address. They are looking.
-
Those were miracles, are they? So today, I thank God you've
-
come to this place. I thank God you've picked the
-
right Sunday to come to church and not skip this one.
-
Thank God. Oh, my God.
-
OK. So we thank God on Pentecost the
-
Spirit fell on a specific time. OK, so I'm like, Lord, please
-
let me not miss the time of the up pouring when the miracles are
-
falling. OK, so you've come to the right
-
place because? This is a miracle zone.
-
Yeah. It's a House of miracles.
-
That's it. This.
-
You've come to a House of miracles.
-
So get ready for your miracle. Somebody.
-
Now I want to share with you this little boy.
-
He told his Mama, I'm going to clean my room.
-
I'm going to tidy my room and clean it because I've heard that
-
God visits and he comes and he does miracles in a clean and a
-
tidy. Room now I love his faith.
-
I really do. That is great.
-
And yeah, so if cleaning and tidying guaranteed miracles.
-
We would be all be cleaning and tidying and organizing our
-
classes this afternoon. OK, But the kid, he's got a
-
point. OK, The the boys got a point.
-
Yeah. OK.
-
So what? What?
-
What we're saying? Yes.
-
It's a principle. And the principle.
-
Is that space matters Space. It counts when you make the
-
room, when you prepare the room. OK, God has got a place to show
-
up in power when we prepare the room and we get the room.
-
God has got a. Place to reveal and release his.
-
Power. So our message today make room
-
for miracles. God's power flows into prepared
-
hearts. And so when we open up our
-
hearts inside and we honor God, we honor the anointing by faith
-
our everyday yeses to the Lord. OK, God floods us with
-
provision, with peace, with. Power.
-
I meant somebody. And so our job is the room.
-
God's job is the miracle. Can you say I meant somebody?
-
Now let's go to the Scripture in Second Kings chapter 4.
2 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
Second Kings chapter 4 and we'll read from verse 9.
2 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
Right, she said to her. Husband, I know that this man,
-
now she's talking about Elijah, OK, who often comes our way.
-
So he's a holy man of God. He's a prophet of God.
-
Let's make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a
-
table, a chain and a lamp for it.
-
Let's just pray. Father, we thank you that we
-
come this morning with open hearts, expectant hearts, hungry
-
hearts, and Lord, we stand on your word and we declare that
-
this is a House of miracles. Holy Spirit, we make, move we
-
make. Room for you.
-
To come and move and have your way in our hearts, in our place.
-
And Lord, we believe you for miracles in this place and we
-
thank you in advance for what you're about to do and release
-
in Jesus mighty name. And if you believe that,
-
somebody shout Amen. OK, So the Tsunamite woman, she
-
sees the prophet of God, Elijah, and he passes by often.
-
And this woman, she says to her husband, you know what?
-
This man of God, we need to build him a room in our house,
-
make him a room. And in the room, we need to put
-
a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp in this room for the
-
manner. What was she doing?
-
She was making room for the miracle.
-
That's what she was doing. She was getting prepared, ready.
-
She was creating space for the anointing of God, not knowing
-
what's to come because in the future there was a storm coming.
-
She did not even know about the storm that was coming.
-
So when this storm, you know, remember the situation about her
-
boy, that OK. So when the storm came, when the
-
crisis hit, when the difficult and the challenge and the
-
situation looked impossible, it looked like it's all gone and
-
over. There seemed to be no hope.
-
But because she had prepared the room, that room was turned into
-
a miracle ground. Somebody give.
-
Us some crisis this place in organic is regulated.
-
Because she's already prepared the room for the miracle.
-
Hallelujah, somebody OK now? She was prepared.
-
She was ready for the miracle. And so church preparation makes
-
all the difference in our lives. OK.
-
So that's why today is so important.
-
Going into this week for the festival of miracles.
-
This is our prey time. We are preparing.
-
We are getting ourselves ready. We are saying, Lord, I am making
-
room. I am making room in my busy
-
schedule. I am making room in my mornings,
-
in my mind, in my heart, even in my everyday busy routine.
-
I am making room for you, Lord. Can you say I mean somebody?
-
Now I love the fact that the Bible gets right into the.
-
Details and it goes, It's not just random, but these I talk
-
about the, the bed, the the, the, the table, the chair and
-
the lamp. OK, It's not just random.
-
This is a strategy for us and so the bed is all about rest.
-
The Bible system charm three to three that he makes me lie down
-
in green pastures. So when we enter into the rest
-
of the law, when you slow down and you step into the rest of
-
God, miracles show up when you step into the rest of God.
-
And so the Good Shepherd, he invites us into a time of rest.
-
When you rest, even while busy at work, we can be in a place of
-
rest because rest, that place of rest, the best.
-
That is a faith posture and it brings about the release of
-
miracles. Now the second one, he talks
-
about the table and that is a picture of the Word of God.
-
Because we sit at the table and we feast and we are feeding on
-
the Word. OK.
-
The Bible says that man shall not live by bread alone, but by
-
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
-
So we set the table and we receive the word of God, our
-
daily pray. That's the second one.
-
The third one, the chair, the chair that is a picture of our
-
attention because the chair faces something.
-
Now, do you face a scary news headline?
-
Do you face a worry or a medical report?
-
OK, turn the chair to face Jesus.
-
Give Jesus your focus, give him your attention, give him your
-
eyes and watch him work and move in your life.
-
Can you say, I mean somebody? OK.
-
And then the next one, the Bob, it talks about the lamp that is
-
a picture of light. Psalm 190 says that the word of
-
the Lord is a lamp onto my feet. It's a powerful to my light.
-
So when you trust in the Lord. The.
-
Light God makes it, guides you, and he lights up your path.
-
Can you say I'm being somebody? And so this amazing woman, she
-
was prepared. She prepared the room for the
-
prophet of God. She honestly anointing the
-
presence of God. She's got all four the bed, the
-
table, the chair, the Lantern. She's got it.
-
She's already prepared. Listen, this is not just being
-
nice in hospitality. This is a.
-
Step of faith. This woman is walking by faith.
-
She's taking a step by faith. She's making space for the
-
anointing, for the presence of God, for watch to come.
-
And so when the trouble came, not if the trouble, when the
-
trouble came, when the storm hit and the crisis and you know what
-
happened, her son died. So when the son passed away,
-
she, the Bible says she took her son to the room.
-
Oh, I feel the anointing. She took him to the room.
-
Somebody OK that in the room that she's already, it's not,
-
oh, now it's the crisis. We've got to suddenly do so
-
prepared. The room was already prepared.
-
She's already created space and made room for the anointing.
-
And so where? Did the light shall go to the
-
room? And the Bible says he stretched
-
this. Remember that he stretches
-
himself onto the boy face to face, eye to eye, hand to hand,
-
mouth to mouth. Stretches and resurrection
-
power. Life came back into the boy.
-
Wow come on somebody show resurrection power.
-
Resurrection power. Oh yes and the boy sneezed 7
-
times and his eyes opened up and he's back to life.
-
Came back from the dead, the resurrection power of the
-
anointing of the Holy Ghost. And so the Bible says this is
-
very significant that it needs 7 times because the number seven
-
in the Bible, it means perfect completion.
-
And I believe that God is bringing a complete turn around
-
in your life. I believe God is bringing a
-
complete turn around in date situations in your life.
-
It might be a date relationship, something that seems date in the
-
marriage or date in the finances or the health or in the in your
-
career, a date situation. God is warming up what was
-
called, He's shining light in dark areas.
-
He's breathing fresh air into the dream that you have buried.
-
It's called resurrection power. Somebody shot resurrection
-
power. Yeah.
-
Please tell us some praise about him.
-
Hallelujah. Because the miracles showed up
-
where the room was. Listen, I don't want you to miss
-
this. The miracle showed up where?
-
The room was ready. That's where the Miracle showed
-
up. Where the room was ready.
-
The Miracle wasn't wandering around lost.
-
The Miracle wasn't wandering around aimlessly.
-
The Miracle knew he had the address The Miracle had, the
-
home address the Miracle had. The post code.
-
That is what God wants to do with you, with your miracle.
-
Give your miracle your home address.
-
God wants to give your miracle your address.
-
I'm somebody, Oh my God, I feel like to get this place.
-
And so then, you know, let your miracle, let your breakthrough
-
know exactly where to go. Not somewhere.
-
It's just over there or you're there, right here, right now.
-
Where you createspace and room in your inside your hearts.
-
Where we create room in our hearts, our minds, our lives.
-
We are making space. We are creating room for the
-
miracle. For the miracle to come to our
-
address. Hallelujah.
-
My group. My group.
-
Come on, Somebody say my group. My group.
-
Come on. I told you, neighbor.
-
Tell your neighbor. Micro, micro, micro, micro.
-
Come on. Yeah, my group.
-
That's right. My group.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My group.
-
That's, that's right. Make room.
-
Somebody make room. Yeah, that's right.
-
That's what we do. We're making room and that's
-
what we do. Yes.
-
Lay down on the bed and rest in the presence of the Lord in
-
God's rest. Sit at the table, right, And
-
feast on the Word of God, because that is a principle
-
throughout the Bible. Feed on God's promises, Read the
-
word, spend and feed on his life giving word.
-
And then the table, turn that table that that chair, position
-
that chair to face Jesus, because then your focus will
-
turn into worship and adoration. And Jesus is the final sight.
-
He's the final authority. And then, yes, light that land
-
because the Bible says you are the light of the world.
-
And so shine your light. Oh, the glory of God has already
-
risen upon you. Let your light shine and shine
-
in The Dark World. And so this Shunammite, I mean,
-
this is amazing. She did not start with the
-
miracle. She started with the room, the
-
room, the miracle found the room, the prepared room,
-
somebody. So that room that you make,
-
that's going to be a place of miracles.
-
And so sometimes because she first step of faith, prepare the
-
room, get the room. The miracle will come.
-
Sometimes it's like we are waiting for God.
-
Are we waiting for God to bring the miracle?
-
God's waiting for us to make the room first.
-
Come on, somebody's going to get this because it's not about
-
waiting. We are waiting for God to
-
release the miracle. God is waiting for you to make
-
the room. OK?
-
Make the room first. He'll release the miracle, OK.
-
And so create and give him space.
-
Make space for Him in our busy lives.
-
And we got to prioritize and say, I'm waking up this morning
-
and your number first. Not my phone, not my e-mail, not
-
my phone call. You are first because I'm
-
creating space for you first, OK?
-
And I'm getting my heart ready. So I am making room.
-
I'm making room in my morning, making room in my mind in a
-
place of rest at the table of the Lord, feasting on His word
-
with the land, the lights of God.
-
You see the picture. I mean somebody because that
-
becomes then your faith house. OK, so that is a faith house.
-
Somebody say faith house. Yeah, it's a faith house.
-
OK. And so we have got now the room,
-
it's all set up. And so we've got the bed, we've
-
got the chair, the table, we've got the land, all of that.
-
That's that's number one. Number two, we have got to
-
protect the room because a ready room needs to be guarded because
-
the room atmosphere needs to be right.
-
It needs to be right, OK? Because listen, the atmosphere
-
is everything. Jesus didn't just fix the
-
problem, but he first shift the atmosphere.
-
Now I want you to see this because in Mark chapter 5 Jesus
Mark 5 chapter mention
-
walks into gyrus. 'S house.
-
I remember Gyrus's daughter died.
-
Now Jesus walks in. It's chaos everywhere.
-
Wailing, crying, mourning. People are mocking voices,
-
flutes everywhere because, you know, the Bible says they laugh
-
at Jesus because Jesus walked in.
-
OK, so there is mocking voices going on.
-
It's chaos everywhere. They said the girl is dead.
-
She's gone. She's dead.
-
Jesus walks in. What's the first thing that
-
Jesus? I want you to see how Jesus
-
handles. What's our savior?
-
Because there's a lot of doubt that's going on in a row.
-
The first thing he does, he gets rid of the doubt.
-
The Bible says he sent them out. He shifts the atmosphere like
-
that. He sends them outside.
-
And so he shrinks the crowd very quickly.
-
Shrink the crowd. I only want faithful people in
-
this room. I want the disciples, Peter,
-
James and John. OK, mom and Dad.
-
You stay right, Let's go into the room.
-
Atmosphere shifted. He first dealt with the
-
atmosphere. That's the first thing that
-
shifted. And then he could go into the
-
room and he could speak those powerful.
-
And he said, Talit akum, little girl, he spoke those powerful
-
words. Talit akum, get up.
-
And the girl got up, walked around, grabbed a snack, grab
-
something to eat back. From the dates.
-
Oh somebody. Resurrection power.
-
Resurrection power. Resurrection power like, like,
-
oh, resurrection power. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Now notice Jesus first changed
-
the atmosphere before he changed the result.
-
He first changed the room before he changed the goal.
-
OK, So are you with me, somebody?
-
The power of Jesus, the power was never the problem.
-
The power was never the issue, OK?
-
Doubt. The atmosphere was the problem.
-
The room was full of doubt. That was the problem, not the
-
power. Now let me throw you this in
-
because we're in the book of Mark today.
-
I thank God for more. Because the very next chapter,
-
because we're in Mark 5 now, the very next chapter, I want to
-
show you just flip over the page and you see what happens.
-
Just to emphasize this point about the doubt that's in the
-
Mark chapter 6, the Bible says Jesus is in his hometown ready
Mark 6 chapter mention
-
to do miracles. OK, ready for miracles, the
-
Bible says. We could not do miracles because
-
of the doubt, the lack of faith. The Bible says Jesus was amazed
-
at their lack of faith. And so their lack of faith, it
-
blocked the flow, the doubt. close the door.
-
OK, Can you see where we're going here?
-
Church? OK, because I thank God for this
-
revelation because today we are shutting the door on doubt and
-
we are saying doubt. Come on, you don't have any seat
-
in this place. That's what we do.
-
Church. I think about it like this when
-
you're tidying your kitchen and so you're cleaning and tidying
-
the kitchen, but you leave the front door open and so the
-
leaves are going to blow back in and the dust is going to come
-
and the dirt's going to come back in again.
-
The same way with our minds, if our minds are open to every
-
negative report, every negative opinion, every scary news report
-
and it's open, it's like negativity.
-
It's just creeping in. If our minds are open to that,
-
to every scary mocking voice, it just sneaks in.
-
And Jesus is showing us something very, very practical
-
here in His word. He says, listen, shut the door
-
on doubt, get the doubt out, deal with the doubt, protect
-
your space, the thoughts. What do you lead into your mind?
-
OK, all right. And so choose that what stays in
-
your mind and you might think, well, the bad news, you know, is
-
real. Yes, I get that.
-
Jesus never ignored the facts. Faith doesn't pretend there's no
-
problems in the world and there's no issues in crime.
-
Now, Jesus did not ignore the facts, but he did not.
-
He refused the facts to rule the atmosphere.
-
He refused the facts and the bad report to rule and to have the
-
final say, OK. And so he didn't argue with the
-
critics. He didn't go into a debate with
-
the criers. He sent them out.
-
And that's what we do with doubts.
-
We don't go into reasoning, reason this.
-
And now let's go into this debate.
-
The reason, reason, reason. No, we shut the doubt out.
-
That's what Jesus did. The first thing he did before he
-
even got to the miracle is first shut the doubts, get the doubt.
-
And so some situations in life don't need arguments.
-
Some situations don't need debates, don't need more
-
arguments. They need more faith, OK.
-
And so it's time for us church to shut the doubt, to shut the
-
door on doubt. You know that lie that's been
-
saying you're too old or you're too foregone or you've made too
-
many mistakes to make too many failures or you're not good
-
enough. Okay.
-
Those are just like just shut the door on doubt, just shut it
-
out. Just shut out those lies of the
-
enemy and evict doubt. Whatever you need to do, sing
-
the doubt out, the claim scriptures, whatever, just get
-
the doubt out. That is, that is the reason I
-
want you to get this, get the doubt out.
-
And so, of course, what happens is the moment you get doubt out,
-
the moment you deal with that doubt, then the atmosphere
-
shifts and you are creating an atmosphere, a climate for the
-
miracles. Once you've created that
-
climate, that's where miracles thrive.
-
They love. Miracles are attracted like a
-
magnet. They are attracted to a faithful
-
room. Come on.
-
When there's room, when there's faith in the room, the miracles
-
start popping up like that. It's a space because of faith.
-
Yeah. And so here's an easy reset that
-
you can use. When fear starts yelling, you
-
just declare, You say not in this house.
-
Yeah, you just just, that's how you shut it up, Not in this
-
house. When the negative force come
-
bombarding the mind, you just say not in this house, not in
-
this mind, not yet, not in this house.
-
Jesus rules. Yeah.
-
Faith is a charge. Yeah, this is a faith house.
-
And you declare that faith house over your life.
-
And so you just in this situation, grab the Bible, read
-
the verse, let that promise reset the atmosphere.
-
Yes, read the verse, that promise, just that verse.
-
Wow, you'll the shift, you'll feel that shift.
-
Peace will come. Reset the atmosphere.
-
And so that St. Jesus who walked into that
-
deadly situation, that dangerous, that St.
-
Jesus who walked into Jairus's house and walk into your house
-
and turn it around. Come on, somebody.
-
Yes, when you get Jesus walking into just like Tyrus and he
-
raise like Jesus will walk into your life, into your ministry,
-
into your career, and he will turn it around.
-
He will come and he'll shift the entire place.
-
Yes, when Jesus walks in, he transforms.
-
And listen, it's not about being perfect because life gets messy.
-
It gets difficult, it gets challenging, but don't let the
-
Mace and the problem rule the house.
-
Don't let that issue rule and take over.
-
Just shut the door on doubt and just invite Jesus back into the
-
centre and say listen, we are creating an atmosphere for
-
miracles in this place. This is a faith house.
-
Say it with me. This is a faith house.
-
Come on, say it again with boulders.
-
This is a fight house and you just speak it up.
-
Your phones, your bedroom, you speak it up that this is a faith
-
house. Faith rules in this house.
-
Jesus is honored here and we shut doubt.
-
We lock doubt out. We get rid of doubt in this
-
place. And just like that little girl,
-
what seemed dead in your life is getting up again.
-
What seeing dead in your marriage, your relationship,
-
your career, your finances, your is getting back up.
-
Come on, somebody get excited. Give us supplies.
-
Resurrection power. Shut resurrection power.
-
Resurrection power. It's getting up again.
-
It's getting up again. That dream.
-
Oh my goodness. I see that ministry.
-
I see it is getting back up again.
-
Those finance somebody shot. Hallelujah.
-
Oh, now let me give you this next key to unlocking miracles
-
in your life. Are you ready to unlock the
-
miracles in your life? OK, because in Mark chapter 3,
Mark 3 chapter mention
-
Jesus walked into a synagogue and there's a man with a
-
withered hand. He cannot even pick up a tool,
-
cannot even greet, hug his family, cannot even lift up in.
-
Praise his hand's with it, the religious people, the Pharisees
-
they are looking like. Walks of Jesus to see if they
-
can trap him. How can we trap Jesus?
-
It's Sabbath. So that's what the religious
-
God. Now everybody's watching to see
-
what Jesus how and what Jesus, how he handles this.
-
And Jesus locks his eyes and he looks at that man with love and
-
compassion and he speaks these four life changing words.
-
Stretch out your hand. And he stretches out his hand,
-
and the Bible says his hand became whole.
-
Oh, boom, come on, somebody give God some praise.
-
Oh, he's right hand right there. His hand made whole, restored,
-
strong, just like the other one. Come on, give God some praise.
-
Somebody said Hallelujah, miracles, miracles.
-
Notice he wasn't healed by just sitting there.
-
It was when he did an action, when he stretched.
-
As he stretched, you see the power rushed in.
-
As he stretched it, that's when the power rushed as he stretched
-
it isn't the miracle met him in motion.
-
That's when the miracle caught up with him in the middle of his
-
move. Jesus didn't say hang in there
-
until you feel your hand is easier, until you feel your hand
-
shake. Now Jesus said stretch, stretch.
-
And the moment he stretched the breakthrough post through when
-
he stretch. So as I stretch, God supplies.
-
Come on, somebody say as I stretch God's supplies, say it
-
again as I stretch God's supplies.
-
Are you getting this somebody? OK?
-
So he didn't get the power up front, the power joint when he
-
stretched out the when he reached out the power joint.
-
So that's a word for us today, judge, because so many times
-
often we pray God fix everything and then I'll move.
-
Lord, provide the money and then I'll start the business.
-
Lord, first heal my heart, touch my heart, and then I'll forgive.
-
Oh God, do something. Give me heavily, give me special
-
confidence, and then I'll get out.
-
And then I'll do it so many times.
-
But Jesus flips it. He says, give the small step
-
that you can do the strength that you have.
-
Use the strength, stretch, use that action.
-
Step out with that confidence that you've got.
-
And so the miracle does not wait for you on the finish line.
-
It meets you on the move. The miracle meets you in the
-
motion, in the action Stretch out.
-
That's where the miracle is released.
-
So Jesus looked at that man with pure love and compassion.
-
And in the same way, Jesus is gazing at you right now and he's
-
saying the same thing to you. Stretch, stretch.
-
Jesus is saying to you that I've got miracles, I've got
-
breakthroughs for you, my people, my church, my I've got
-
it all. I've got the supply, I've got
-
the miracles. Stretch.
-
That's what the Lord is saying. Stretch.
-
That dream that's faded. Stretch and reach out for it.
-
That relationship that is in pain stretch with forgiveness,
-
that financial trouble, that financial me stretch with
-
generosity. And so reach out and stretch and
-
as I stretch card stretches the impossible.
-
Come on, somebody. As I stretch, card stretches,
-
card supplies. As I stretch, card supplies.
-
Someone say it again. As I stretch, God supplies.
-
Yeah, as I stretch, God supplies.
-
What a powerful principle. Is this helping somebody?
-
So the miracle's waiting. Miracles are waiting for your
-
stretch. Now, let me share powerful
-
testimony about Denzel Washington, a Hollywood star
-
that's standing strong and faith today because of a faith
-
stretching prophecy. You know, back when he was 20,
-
feeling lost, he's dropped out of college.
-
He walked into one day in a beauty parlor, day salon, a
-
woman, a stranger, strange woman, strange looked at him and
-
said, boy, you are going to travel the world and you're
-
going to preach to millions. That was a faith stretching
-
prophecy. He grabbed that faith stretching
-
prophecy. He grabbed the word.
-
He made room in his heart for God.
-
He surrendered his dreams over to God.
-
Fast forward and look today, I mean, my goodness, two Oscars.
-
Denzel Washington, He grabbed the word this match, it's like
-
training day. And he's sharing messages of
-
hope in his talks, in his movies.
-
OK. And he says it, that his faith
-
is a thing that is kept him strong all through these years.
-
Denzel Washington. Yeah, through all the storms of
-
life, through fire storms, all of it, faith kept him strong.
-
As I stretch, God supplies. All right, let's go to the next
-
one. Let me give you another powerful
-
truth for making room. For miracles.
-
Are you ready somebody closed doors are not closed futures.
-
OK, now, Mark chapter 2 Jesus is teaching inside the house and
Mark 2 chapter mention
-
the place is backed people everywhere, not even a path to
-
get to the front to try and squeeze through it's crowds
-
people. That's just a lot of people and
-
the whole place and stuff. And then these amazing,
-
incredible friends. Now these friends showed up with
-
this. They Frank, they crippled the
-
paralyzed on the mat. He could not step out on his
-
own, you know, And he was. Paralyzed and so he could not
-
push his way through. Now if his breakthrough or his
-
miracle depended upon easy access into OK or an open door,
-
there an easy pathway to Jesus. If his miracle depended on that,
-
he would have. Head back home disappointed.
-
But what I like about faith, Faith does not stop at a closed
-
door. Faith does not stop at
-
obstacles. And so these five people, they
-
climb up the stairs onto the roof and they RIP open the roof,
-
tear off the roof. I love that song, Tear.
-
Off. The roof that sounds a powerful
-
song and so they lower the friend right in front of Jesus
-
and the scripture says to him, Jesus saw then five Jesus said
-
to him, Son, your sins are forgiven.
-
Get up, grab your mat, head home.
-
The guy get up, analyzed, gets up, walks out.
-
Hill somebody the miracle. Power up.
-
Jesus Christ. Oh.
-
Feel the anointing in this place.
-
My God, oh Hallelujah, Jesus saw that fight.
-
You see that? Faith climbs up higher.
-
Faith reaches out. Faith refuses to back down.
-
You know when Faith, when it hits a wall, when it hits an
-
obstacle, Faith makes a way where there is no way.
-
Oh, Faith breaks through. Waymaker, Miracle, Walker,
-
Promise, keeper, Light in the darkness.
-
I got that is who you want. He's a winemaker.
-
That is Faith makes a way. He doesn't stop at the first
-
obstacle on a closed door. It breaks through five makes
-
away. I feel the Holy Spirit's putting
-
something fresh in this place today.
-
Come on here. How many of you said something
-
powerful is at this place one day?
-
Oh Hallelujah. Now can I give you one more key
-
to unlocking miracles in your life hungry ones, can we go a
-
little deeper? Because I love it.
-
You've got your notes, you're ready, you're receiving.
-
I love this this we can go deeper, OK, because this one is
-
all about uncluttering the mind. So when we clean.
-
Out the mind because letting go of negativity, OK, so that God
-
can pause in happiness and peace and joy, OK overflow because
-
it's so easy to drag around the guilt from yesterday, the
-
bitterness of somebody that's hurt us, OK, or the fear of
-
what's going to happen or the worry that keeps us up at night.
-
And so it's so easy to drag it. But when we ask, you know, and
-
it's like, sometimes it's like, but why?
-
And we asked, why is it that I feel I don't enjoy my life like
-
I used to? What's happened to my fire?
-
Why am I not in rest and like I used to?
-
So I want you to get this because what happens it's not
-
always just the the work pressure or the boss or the
-
people. It's a build up of Qatar on the
-
inside. Overtime clutter builds up.
-
And so I want to give you this picture like, think of your mind
-
as like a container. Now God designed it and made our
-
minds a container to overflow with happiness and peace and
-
joy. But when worry and anxiety
-
comes, it pushes out things. It pushes out other things like
-
peace. And because space matters, space
-
counts inside. And So what you allow and what
-
you let stay inside, it counts because clutter, it takes up
-
space. And so some of us are carrying
-
like a mix. Let's say, for example, 30%
-
worry and then 20% regrets of something that happened in the
-
past or a mistake. And then let's say 12% is like a
-
grudge that we hold against somebody or somebody that hurt
-
us. And then let's say 8% is
-
something like envy. We envy somebody else.
-
So already there. When you add that all up, you've
-
already got 6070% of negativity. Taking up space in a mind,
-
taking up space in our lives. OK, no wonder.
-
Joy and peace and creativity. It feels like my passion.
-
It feels like it's squeezed out. It's like I used to have joy
-
when I was young and this, but what's happened over time?
-
Clutter has built up over time. And so we got to empty out the
-
clutter from time to time, enter because it builds up.
-
And there was a time full of happiness and joy and light.
-
But now things have cluttered up the mind over time.
-
And so the word says in Ephesians. 4.
-
Do not give place to the enemy. So do not give place to guilt.
-
Do not give place to bitterness or anger or hurt, OK?
-
Or worry, OK? And it's like I'm refusing to
-
let guilt and fear and resentment to stay and take up
-
valuable space and poison my days.
-
And so make it an everyday practice.
-
And when you practice every morning, you just get rid of the
-
clutter and you just it's time to let go and clean out.
-
And so I just clean out and let go of what's happened yesterday.
-
OK, that person was really rude, that person's really hard, hurt
-
me. So I got to just get rid of that
-
offence. And so whatever's trying to
-
creep in yesterday, I got to every morning, just clean out,
-
clean out the clutter and let go of the worry.
-
Now I remember in when we lived at the coast in Exmouth, I was a
-
care home manager. And so this one day I visited
-
the precious, precious man. What a precious soul he was in
-
his late ITS. And as I.
-
Walked into and he was a warder his whole life.
-
And as I walked into his house, I mean, you cannot even walk.
-
There's clutter everywhere. There's boxes, there's wires,
-
there's junk. I mean, it looks like a junkyard
-
when you literally walk into that.
-
And it's a lovely house, beautiful house, but I could not
-
even walk. You cannot even walk from the
-
living room to the kitchen. I mean, there's like a small
-
little pathway. That he literally, but it's
-
literally clutter everywhere in the house and so he called it.
-
And his. Style, that is his style of
-
living. And so sometimes the clutter,
-
you know, it feels normal. It feels normal because we've
-
done it for so long. Stress OK you know living a
-
stressful life has actually become like a like a normal
-
thing and so the experts they stepped in before intervention
-
obviously with his consent and with his permission what a
-
precious soul what a lovely gentleman is and so yes they
-
helped him and we cleared out the place and so we.
-
Cleared out the place the the the interventions and they
-
started removing the clutcher. But it was very hard for him
-
because he was still very sentimental.
-
Because what they call trash is like, well, that's treasure.
-
That's really that. I mean, that's not just the box
-
or, or just the wrapper or just junk.
-
Maybe to you it's junk, but to me, I've lived with that for all
-
these years, for many years. It's actually that.
-
Clutter is actually my style. That's that's how that for me.
-
And that's what he was saying. And so once finally it was all
-
clear and all gone, for the first time ever, he felt like a
-
weight lifter and he could breathe again because he didn't
-
realize, oh wow, I could actually enjoy my home and walk
-
around and be free. And Saudis in our lives,
-
overtime, our minds built up clutter because of life.
-
Life happens. There's offenses everywhere
-
these days. People get offended over
-
everything. You can look at somebody funny
-
and you paint it. So our friends are everywhere
-
offenses, it's come and go, family everywhere problems.
-
And so a clutter builds up and so and we hold on to the pains
-
of the past, the old hurts, you know, things like, oh, I'm not
-
good enough for failures in childhood.
-
Or maybe it was a dad's harsh words, or maybe it was a
-
relationship breakdown or a boss as rejection.
-
And so because they are so familiar, because we've had them
-
for so long, we carry them because of familiar.
-
We don't see how they are limiting our lives.
-
We don't see how they are blocking us from enjoying life.
-
We don't always see how they block our progress and limit our
-
progress in life. And thank God for his
-
intervention. And thank God He's a gentleman.
-
And I love that about God. God doesn't force himself, OK,
-
this intervention, there is a permission, there's a consent,
-
and I love that about God. He doesn't force himself and
-
come and pass in his. Face, let's do a.
-
Clean up now. God invites us into moments like
-
these when we are together in these moments where God says,
-
let's let go of the worry, let go of the shame, let go of the
-
mistake of the trouble, let go of that fear, OK, When we come
-
together, and that's what I love.
-
Maybe stress has become so normal or the worry.
-
Maybe you grew up hearing all the time that you're not good
-
enough, smart enough, or pretty, or you're not capable.
-
Those lies of the enemy, they are clutter and they limit
-
progress. And so this is your moment to
-
rise up and say, hey, you know what?
-
I'm going to shut the doubt. I'm going to get the doubt out
-
and I'm going to declare God what God says.
-
And God says I'm. Fearful and wonderfully made.
-
And God says that I'm anointed and favored, and God says that
-
there's greatness inside of me. That's how we shut the doubt
-
out. We shut the door and doubt and
-
we speak the word of God. We declare what God's word says
-
and God's word says that you're favored, that you're anointed,
-
that you're chosen of God. That's the word of God.
-
And so when you declare the word of the Lord over your life,
-
that's how the doubt gets out. It fights out.
-
You get rid of the clutter. We just declare what God says.
-
We believe the word of the Lord. Somebody give God some praise.
-
And I just remember in eczema that by the coast that hoarder,
-
he precious soul, but yeah, it's such a massive, beautiful house,
-
but he could not enjoy the house.
-
It was like a junker that was fully could not enjoy the house.
-
And that's in so many in our lives that we struggle sometimes
-
like a block. It's like a limit to our next
-
season because of the clutter that's pulled up over a time.
-
And so the word of the Lord today is from heaven.
-
And God is saying make space, make room, make room for the
-
miracles. Listen, miracles are ready.
-
Miracles are coming. Miracles are.
-
Yeah. Listen, all that we do is make
-
room for the miracles. Let's just get rid of the doubt,
-
get rid of the clutter, get rid of the hurts and the faints and
-
the paints, and then the miracles are released.
-
Miracles. Somebody shown.
-
Hallelujah. Yes, glory to God.
-
Now let me close with this because this is a powerful truth
-
about capacity. Before you see the miracle,
-
before you see the breakthrough on the outside, you first have
-
to create space on the inside. OK Amen.
-
So you understand that. Now I want to read to you this
-
Isaiah 54 verse 2. Watch this.
-
She said to her. Watch this one, Isaiah. 5254,
-
verse 2. Enlarge the place, everybody say
-
enlarge OK, so talk about increase the place of your tank,
-
stretch. Somebody shout stretch, stretch
-
your tank curtains. What do not hold back lengthen
-
your God is saying make room for more.
-
Increase enlarge. Think bigger, dream bigger.
-
OK, reach out, stretch out. God is calling you higher to
-
enlarge, to stretch out and believe for more.
-
If you're holding on to just some small dream, you're going
-
to end up with a small story. OK?
-
It's time to stretch your faith wide and enlarge and increase.
-
And Gods supply is abundance. It's overflow.
-
Oh Hallelujah, are you kidding? This God's supply is overflow.
-
It's endless. OK?
-
The only thing that is holding him back is our willingness to
-
receive. So God's got the supply, He's
-
got the miracles, He's got the blessings.
-
But what's holding it back is our willingness to receive.
-
It is our capacity. Listen, imagine I'm holding,
-
yeah, 1000 gallons of water, and I'm ready to give you 1000
-
gallons of water. And but you show up with a
-
little jar like a. One gallon of jug, but I've got
-
1000 gallons of water. And you come with one, One Cup,
-
one container. You see the limitation?
-
You see the issue is not the water, the issue is the
-
container. So the issue is not the water
-
supply. There's enough water, there's
-
enough miracles, there's enough grace and glory for every
-
There's enough, but it is the capacity.
-
OK, so just swap the little Jack, the one gallon, just swap
-
it for something bigger. And so like a porno, I've got
-
1000 gallons of water ready to release so I could give more, so
-
much more. And Jesus in married place.
-
And listen, let it be up to you according to your fight,
-
according to what you believe. Let it be up to you, OK?
-
Not according to the economy, not according to the news, not
-
according to the according to your faith, what you believe you
-
will receive. So is your capacity.
-
Now let me just throw this in really quick, actually remember
-
the widow woman because I love this.
-
It's in the same chapter. Remember when we started in
-
Second Kings chapter 4? Do you know that it's in the
2 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
same chapter? Both women, these amazing women.
-
I love it. When I saw that, I'm like, Oh my
-
God, you have both stories in the same chapter.
-
You've got the Tsunamite woman. Listen, we are doing this full
-
circle. Can you see the revelation I'm
-
getting? I've got goosebumps all over the
-
pseudomide woman. Prepare the room.
-
We started the sermon message today.
-
We're preparing the room now. We go in full circle.
-
We come into the widow and remember the widow, It was in
-
the time of famine. She lost her husband.
-
OK, In the time of famine, date collections, the date collectors
-
are now after her son. This is what we talk about.
-
And all that she's got is well. And who shows up again?
-
Elijah. And you know what I love without
-
prophet Elijah? He didn't give her cash.
-
Not that it's wrong you give the money.
-
I'm saying he did not give her money.
-
But what he did is he unlocked capacity.
-
Oh, I feel the annuity of part of this place.
-
He unlocked her capacity. Oh, my Lord, Hallelujah.
-
I love this round up. Go get containers.
-
That's what he told her. He's like, go to your neighbors.
-
Go get the jugs, get the jars. And he specifically, and I love
-
the prophet of God, he said listen, don't just one, not just
-
a few. Listen.
-
If you know my God, my God, supply is endless and it's
-
abundant. You go get containers and then
-
when you get those containers, you go into the house, shut the
-
door. When you close the door, start
-
pouring oil miracle happen. Well, oh, my God, it's
-
multiplying. Oh, get another container.
-
Come on. Another one.
-
It's we are in a time of famine. Sons.
-
Help, help. Come on, you.
-
We've got well, we've got well, these miracles.
-
It's flowing. It's flowing.
-
It's flowing now, Now you've got to hit when the ice hard.
-
You've got to you've got to go, go, go, go.
-
Another one, another one. And what happened?
-
Why did the oil stop? Not because God run dry, Not
-
because God stopped the supply, Not because God stopped the
-
blessing of the miracles, because of the containers.
-
She's like, wait, another container.
-
Oh, I wish I had gone to another neighbor and get another
-
container. The oil stopped when the
-
container stopped the capacity. That's not God.
-
The capacity, the prophet of God said, did containers and the
-
overflow overflowed one of the other.
-
And so it stopped because space ran out.
-
And so we're talking about making room for a miracle.
-
So what is the size of the miracle that you need today?
-
What's the size of the miracle? What do you need?
-
Because listen, she set the level of blessing.
-
How much do you want? She's sitting.
-
She set the miracle. She set the level of the
-
blessing based on how many containers she collected.
-
Oh, how many blessing you want? You want one blessing?
-
Go get one container. You want 5?
-
Go get 5 containers, you'll get 5 blessings.
-
You want 10 blessings? Go get 10.
-
Go to 10. Neighbors again.
-
Come on, let's get 10. We get 10.
-
What about 50? Oh, I want 50 miracles.
-
I want 50 blessings, Go get 50 containers.
-
How much miracles do you want in line?
-
You want 1? You want 5?
-
How much you want this God? With God, it's not hipster, it's
-
how much. How much space do you have?
-
How much can you handle somebody?
-
How much can you handle? How many souls do you want?
-
Do you want one soul? You want 10 souls?
-
Do you want 1000 souls? You want a million souls?
-
How many? Oh, I feel anointing.
-
God's endless flow, God's abundant flow.
-
That was not the hold up. The hold up was her readiness to
-
receive. It was her readiness, her
-
willingness. How much ready are we to receive
-
the amazing miracles of God for us in our lives?
-
How willing are we to be blessed by God?
-
The limit, the hold up is not with God, it's our capacity.
-
Elijah, I love it because he urged her.
-
The prophet of God said gather plenty, get plenty of
-
consigners. Now let me ask you, church, how
-
many jars are you pulling together?
-
What is the size of your dream? What is the size of your
-
business? The dream that you have, the
-
calling that you have, what you envisioned for your family, for
-
your life here in the UK, wherever you are.
-
What is the size of your dream for your children and for your
-
generations to come? You know, some folks, they show
-
up to God's ocean of supply and they come with a pint size joke.
-
But you've got an ocean, God's ocean of supply of water, and
-
some folks turn up with a pint. You only want a pint.
-
I'm telling you over the years I've seen many, I've seen many
-
crisses. I remain in some folks, they
-
turn out to God, a God that is big owns everything in a whole
-
lot. The the Ocean's in the supply
-
and they turn up with a teaspoon.
-
Jesus, my God, that maybe really, oh, please help me.
-
I'm just scraping through the month.
-
I please, I just need to get through this month.
-
God owns everything, all the wealth, all the soul and all the
-
ball. It belongs to God.
-
He knows all the cats are on 1000 hills.
-
He owns it all. And so we come with a little
-
teaspoon to God that has got the whole wall.
-
I'll give you everything. What do you want?
-
What size of miracle You see God's ocean, God, that's fine.
-
That's more than enough. It's our buckets.
-
It's our containers that needs to be upgraded.
-
The church, our our buckets needs upgrading.
-
We need bigger buckets. We need bigger jocks.
-
We need. Yeah, it's not.
-
It's the block is not God's side.
-
The block is not God's heart. It's our capacity, our vision,
-
our dream, our willingness, our inner space.
-
We are creating for God. That's it.
-
Our capacity. Now let me give you one more
-
testimony quickly. Justin Bieber, incredible turn
-
around in his life. Talk about making room for more.
-
You know what happened to Justin when he was in his 20s?
-
He was lost on drugs. Justin Bieber.
-
He was lost on drugs and bad worst turns and bad choices.
-
Of all of that. And he reached out to God.
-
He gathered. He made room for God.
-
Justin Bieber made room for God. He recommitted his life to Jesus
-
and he got a massive turn around 20/19.
-
He shared how God has healed him from anxiety and depression, how
-
God has set him free and then on top of that he faced the
-
sickness just so. He faced Lyme disease of chronic
-
fatigue and how doctors could not fix it.
-
But he cried out to God. He made room for God and God
-
boom healed him. He helped restore.
-
Come on, somebody give God some praise.
-
God blessed him with a strong marriage with Haley.
-
Isn't that amazing how God bless his marriage?
-
And also then the song holy, you know, that song is touching
-
millions of lives because he made room for God.
-
He gathered jaws and containers, making room for God, growing his
-
vision from chaos to calling. So as I wrap up this message in
-
closing, these testimonies are not stories, they're
-
invitations. God is not a respecter of
-
persons. If He did for, he'll do it for
-
you. And the Bible says Ephesians 3.
-
So clearly that God is able, Ephesians 3, God is able to do
-
way more than we can also dream. And so just make room, expand,
-
reach out, pour freely, stretch and watch God work because
-
miracles show up with prepared rooms, prepared hearts.
-
That's when miracles love to show up.
-
Hearts are prepared. So let's stay wide open.
-
Let's stay expectant, making room for miracles.
-
Papa, let's all stay and give God some praise.
-
Praise the Lord. Come on, miracles are knocking
-
at your door. Miracles, Science and wonders.
-
Unusual miracles are on the way. Church, Unusual healings and
-
bodies, unusual financial breakthroughs, unusual family
-
restoration. But here is the key.
-
Make room. So miracles are coming.
-
Make room. I'm like, Lord, we're not going
-
to miss us. We are making room.
-
Somebody shall make room. Yeah, that's right.
-
Stretch your fate. Increase, enlarge.
-
Release the herds. Release the clutter.
-
Release your things. Because overflowing miracles are
-
coming and the Holy Spirit is stirring revival right here and
-
right now in our lives. Your miracle.
-
They are closer than you think. They are closer than you think.
-
But God is saying, my groom. God is saying to you, my groom,
-
make room. That is what God is saying.
-
The miracles are closer than you think right here.
-
Just make room and watching move, watching work, make room,
-
church. And I believe as you are
-
releasing clutter, as you're releasing offences and hurts, I
-
believe that miracles are going to be released.
-
Miracles. Are you ready, church, for the
-
release of miracles? So as you stretch your vision,
-
as you let go of the junk, miracles are coming your way.
-
That pain that you've carried, release it today.
-
Make space for His peace. It's time to step into the
-
miracle season church. So if you are tired of the
-
clutter, if it's weighed you down and you are tired of the
-
hurts and the worries that weighed you down and the regrets
-
and the doubt and your faith feels small, I want you to reach
-
out to the Lord this morning. And I want you to make room for
-
the Lord, OK? Whether you need healing in your
-
body or breakthrough or restoration, maybe it's in your
-
finances or you just need fresh fire.
-
You need fresh faith today. This is your resurrection
-
moment. This is your turn around moment.
-
This is your miracle moment, Church.
-
This is the moment. So right now as we surrender, if
-
that's you, raise your hands to heaven as a sign of surrender
-
and just say it's, it's just a simple yes, it's just as we are
-
right there where you are, just like, Lord, I surrender the
-
mess. And when you surrender, when you
-
make room, Lord, you just cry out and you say, Oh Lord for me
-
with your best, because God has got the best.
-
So just open your heart and just receive.
-
I just want to pray, Father, I just pray for Lord as we come
-
before you and surrender. And Father, we make room.
-
We make room in our house, and Lord, we surrender the clutter.
-
We surrender the doubts and the fears.
-
Oh Lord, remove the clutter, remove the junk, enlarge our
-
tains. Holy Spirit, Lord, pour out
-
miracles. Lord, over this place of the
-
resurrection power, resurrect those dreams.
-
Lord Holy Spirit, ignite your people.
-
For everywhere we saw. Lord, I pray release, rest every
-
closed door. I pray tear off the roof, open
-
roofs of opportunity for every small container in large
-
capacity. Law, flood us with your
-
resurrection power. The Holy Spirit flood our lives
-
right now. That's right.
-
Just cry out to the Lord. Just open your heart.
-
Resurrection power. Resurrection power.
-
That's right. Come on, give God some praise.
-
Somebody God about surprise you. Jesus, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
-
resurrection power. I want you to declare this out
-
loud with me. Say this is a faith house.
-
Doubt. There's no place.
-
This is a House of miracles. As I stretch, Cloud supplies my
-
miracle as my address right here, right now.
-
I make room for miracles and miracles make room for me.
-
Somebody early yourself, certain kinds of place.
