The title of the message today, and I'll just put it up here for

us. So we all get ready for the

structures as well. Rise up.

Somebody say rise up. Yeah, rise up.

Because life has got a way of knocking us down.

Life has got a way of knocking us down.

And sometimes it just feels like that.

You have been get never. I didn't say to from every

angle, every direction. Now, sometimes, yes, it is a

spiritual battle. Sometimes it's just stepping on

Lego barefoot in the dark. OK, so whether it's been a hard

season, whether it's been a hard week or month, whether it's just

been a hard morning, the bottom line is you don't have to stay

down because car has got to come back for you with your name.

That's only somebody should come back.

Come back. Hallelujah.

Now I'm here to tell you this morning that this is your moment

to rise up. This is your rise up moment.

Come to church. It's time to rise up.

Somebody shall rise up. You've got some place, hide the

heat up and dispose. Now for paints, we're going to

go out into the word of blue. And so we're going to go to a

stretcher this morning in the book of Acts chapter 14.

Acts 14 · chapter mention

That is where we will find our proof text for the day, Acts

Acts 14 · chapter mention

chapter 14. Now let me just give you the

context as chapter 14. Paul is preaching the gospel in

Lystra, and all of a sudden as he's preaching, he numbs to

somebody and when he notices this person.

This person has been crippled since birth.

OK so as lame paralysed that waltz a day in his life and this

lame person Paul doesn't whisper.

The Bible says Paul spoke with a loud.

Voice Hallelujah for loud voices right as well with a loud voice

with authority with baldness, with faith and yes Paul the

apostle and he says this in the book of Acts 14 verses 9 said

Acts 14:9

with a loud voice stand up straight on your feet and he.

Lit and he walked Hallelujah. Please God.

I feel the anointing of God on that God is not just a verb.

That is a word for somebody here today.

The Lord is saying it's time to rise up.

It's time to get back onto your feet and to walk into everything

that a God has ready installed for you.

Somebody shout Hallelujah did not surprising those plants.

Let's just vote together. Father, we thank you for your

word. Now, Lord, speak through me.

Lord, I pray call for dry bones to rise again.

Holy Spirit, breed on every heart in this place.

Holy Spirit, come, let resurrection powerful this place

pour out your glory and let the rising begin in the mighty name

of Jesus Christ. Read Christ.

Somebody showed Hallelujah again.

That's chapter 14. Very powerful scripture and

chapter in the word of God just right after that miracle.

I mean, that's not where the story stops.

That's the introduction. Now I want to take you into the

next space. Space to are.

You ready to go a little deeper? Yeah.

OK. So the next space right off of

this miracle, the same people that were amazed by this

miracle, by a possible pull, they turned against Paul and

they grabbed him. They stoned him, dragged him

outside the city, left him for the like, just with this.

Now watch this because this is where it shuts.

This is powerful. I pray you get this word to that

verse 19. They stoned Paul, dragged him

out the sitting, supposing him to be thick.

Now some of you know what that feels like.

Some of you know what it feels like to be knocked down by life.

You know what it feels like when the words hitch it?

The slum of the gossip. Hitch it.

Like sharp stones cutting like stones.

Like being stoned. The the worse.

The hateful worst. Some of you know what that feels

like. They stoned it.

Cut. And, and I just know what it

feels like to be rejected by people, to be dragged by

betrayal, to be written off by people.

Some of you know what it feels like to be written off by

people. And they thought that you're

finished, that it's, it's over. But now listen.

Watch what happens in this powerful verse, chapter 20,

where it shipped. However, when the disciples

gathered around him, he rose up. Somebody shout, revise us, OK,

and be waiting to the city. Listen, we see this principle

throughout the Bible rising up, OK?

It's right there. And we see the same thing

happening over again. Only this time it's not a lame

person. You've got a crippled man that's

rising up. You've got a crippled lay person

that's getting up. This time it's the Apostle Paul

that's. Getting up, my God.

I love that when God showed this show, I'm like, my goodness, in

the one moment we see the lay person getting up, in the next

moment we see Paul engaging. And listen, notice Paul did not

stay down, OK? He got up.

He shook off the dirt, shook off the dust.

He got up and this is amazing. He went straight back to the

same place where they tried to the street.

My God, I mean, come on, somebody.

That's what I call a comeback. That's a comeback.

Come back. Somebody should come back.

Yeah, I would. Hallelujah.

That's what it looks like when you and I've got to come back

powering you. You've got to pounce back.

All right? That positive ball is bouncing

back in this bouncing player. It's bouncing back.

You've got to pulse back. Power on the inside of you.

Hallelujah, somebody. But I don't know who I gave you

for today, but you might have been knocked down.

Yeah. OK, knocked down by a live and

maybe you might have been hit harder.

Than what you've expected. But hear me today.

This is not the end of your story.

This is the beginning of your comeback.

Oh my rap. Come back.

Listen. God is calling you to rise.

God is pulling you to rise. Rise up out of the pits of

depression. Rise up out of fear.

Rise up out of guilt and shine and regret.

Rise up because the same. Spirit, now watch this.

The same spirit that throws Jesus from the grey Come on,

that's a power is on the side of you.

Yes, he's saying you. That's a power and rank Jesus

from the ground. First sign electricity called

this point, then it's hard. You Hallelujah, Romans 8 But if

the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the closet, that same

spirit, he will also raise you up and we, he will raise us up.

Church Hallelujah, blood is not forgotten about you.

It's not the burden about your men.

He's ready to raise you up again.

I don't care how many times we've been knocked out.

Is ready to rise us up again and again and again.

Hallelujah, man. That's a comeback.

That's a comeback. That's clowns back power.

That's bounce back. Imagine this vision of this

bouncing basketball. The harder you browse, the

harder the enemy tried to smash it.

The higher it's going to be the bounce back.

The harder you found, the higher you're going to get back up.

A thing. Oh my God, some of them cannot

kiss you. This voice, that's the

resurrection power. We see that in the word of God.

That same spirit, like Jesus, will also rise us up.

That's resurrection power. If we blast this, a power of God

that's on the inside of us. Somebody shout resurrection

power, resurrection. Now let me tell you about Tyson

Fury. BS and I.

Stood on top of the world heavyweight boxer of the top end

of the world. But behind the fame and the

lights and the city was falling apart.

He was losing his way. He lost himself mental health,

depression, anxiety, addiction in darkness.

And he thought about ending it all.

And on the lowest moment of his life, Tyson Fury cried out to

God. God, if you are real, Jesus,

help me. Oh Hallelujah.

God intervene. God touching, God restoring.

But he's like he got signed the ball against honey somebody and

then spend that moment that tried to find his boxing career.

Oh yes, he's fight against 10K Wilder and yes, Wilder in the

12th round. You know what I'm talking about

in the 12th round, this is what happened.

Tyson got the massive big a massive blow in the 12th round.

Such a massive shot. Such a massive hit that he was

not dark. And there is Tyson Fury, not

done lying fat on his back. And the crowds, they just

thought this is over and the Reef restarted the countdown 123

Tyson Fury is. Got the cows everybody for his

over. It's finished everybody and this

referee Scaldy 2345 and the stadium held is great and just

when everybody thought that he's finished and he's lights out and

that he's completely all of a sudden when the referee said

nice. Tyson Fury, Rosa.

Someone shot Rosa. Why can't you get Rider Rosa?

That's. And listen, he got just getting

absolutely shaky. Be shot like a man with a racer

full with the resurrection power.

He shut up, come on somebody. He shut up, new brothers up.

And he came back stronger than before.

He finished the fight now fast come back, come on, somebody

shot come back. That is what I call a comeback.

I bounce back power bouncing back when they don't think it's

just not you that listen, you are not knocked out.

He is not just the champion in the rig.

You know, Tyson Fury, he's standing boldly today.

He decreased the world that there's only one true king.

And. His name is Jesus Christ.

Somebody shall Hallelujah. He started ball for the gospel.

Jesus Christ. He's not a shame of the dust of

Jesus Christ. Only one king by Jesus.

So let me talk to somebody here today.

You might have been knocked down.

You might feel that you have lost.

Listen, the good news is you have not lost the fight.

You might have been knocked down by life.

You might have been knocked out. If you but you are not lost.

You've not lost the fight. You might have been knocked

down, but you've not been knocked out.

Come on. I want you to show you

different. I want you to see the

difference. You might have taken some shots

in life, knocked down, but you're not knocked out.

You're not out of the fight. You're not out of the gang.

You're not out of the cover. Somebody OK?

Listen, Daddy say get ready for your comeback, OK?

You might have been knocked down, but not not out.

You're you are. Listen, like Tyson.

You are rising again, man. Again and again.

You're rising again. Somebody shout out Hallelujah.

Now let me give you. Another sculpture I will.

Just a moment. My God, seven days it says this.

There's the road 12 if you want to lease us.

That is absolutely incredible. I've watched it last night.

Just the shortcut. It is awful how he.

Shot. Right back up resurrection and

pay they all finish the fight. Come on somebody Jesus is the

only come out. You've got somebody to this

help. You've got surprise you did come

on yes, they did not complicate once in together.

There's once in there. Are you creating wisdom?

We are getting up to her. My God, Jesus is down to what

now? Micah 7 Do not rejoice over me,

my enemy. When I fall, I will arise.

Micah did not say if I fall, he said.

When I fall, Come on, Sahari. Not if I when I.

Let's just be real honest in this room, OK?

Falling is part of life. Sometimes it's part of life.

It's OK. There's going to be moments in

your life with you trip up. Let's just be real and very

honest in this place today. There's going to be moments

you're going to hit some bumps in the road.

It's just going to knock you down, OK?

But listen, falling is not the problem.

Fully is not the problem. Staying down, oh God has been

like itching this grace. Come on.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is the word I've got. You know, just because life

knocked you down, that doesn't mean you had lost your fight.

It doesn't mean you are up. Listen, I might be on the floor,

but listen, I'm not out of the fight.

I might have been knocked down maybe, but I've not.

I don't before. I'm not.

Listen, I'm getting up. I'm getting back up.

Hallelujah. Because even though you may be

not down in the natural, there is something supernatural.

That is arising. In you.

Come on, it's advanced back home.

It's 'cause it's a spirit for. Combat resurrection power.

Somebody showed resurrection power.

So you carry the same spirits that pull Jesus from the dead.

That same spirit is saying to you, rise up.

This is your moment. The failure is not your final

chapter. You have not been knocked out.

This is your bounce back moments.

This is your comeback moment. This is your rise up moment.

Somebody shot Hallelujah. Come on, somebody say that this

is my rise up moments. Yeah, yeah.

Come on. This is it.

This is it. Get ready, because listen, this

is what we do. Listen, your next round.

Oh, my God. I feel like prophecy here right

now. Your next round is going to be

your best round. Come on, Somebody's getting this

today. Yeah, Now you do.

Yeah, because you're that's now it's going to be your best now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, let's get some payments

in this. Place Now let's read this

powerful scripture in Second Corinthians.

We are hard pressed on every side.

OK, that's life. OK?

Let's just be honest, OK? Not in this side of heaven, this

on this planet. As long as we, yeah, we live in

a fallen world. OK?

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.

Perplexed, but not in the spirit.

Persecuted, but not about struck.

Down OK come on somebody back not she's a guy might have been

not done. But not, not done.

I want you to get that in your spirit today.

OK, now let me tell you something real playing here

today. You are not built to stay down.

OK, yeah, this and that and I just cutting you right planet,

you are not. Shaped to stay stuck, OK.

You have been designed to rise, OK?

You have been full. You've been filled with the fire

of the Holy Ghost, OK, somebody. So on the inside of you is

something very powerful. Listen.

How is afraid of that? Of that powerful resurrection

power? Listen, the hell cannot handle

that, OK? And that's why, let's say it's

been so intense. That's why the pressure has been

so heavy. And sometimes the warfare feels

so personal. OK?

Because the devil is afraid of where you're going.

Yeah, he's afraid of he's terrified of where you are

going. Because listen, the devil, he

caught the glimpse of your future.

And what's happened is the the the enemy.

He saw the calling on your life. He saw the man saw that you

carry, he saw the oil that is on your flight and So what the

enemies try to shut you down before stepping into us.

OK, because he's afraid. Now here is what the enemy

didn't know you have got bounce back power to you, but under

devil that's something that you didn't know that about you.

OK that you have got compact, you've got to come back power,

OK, you've got comeback capacity.

So you were pulled to recover. That's what the enemy going to

and so you've been Christ to rise again.

Hallelujah somebody. I love the way the call said it.

He said listen, we are praise on every side, but we are not

crushed. We listen, the ball says it's

like, listen, we've been knocked down, but we are not destroying

cover somebody. I love the way city then that is

the kind of boat that stands to stop.

I may be down, I may have been, but listen, I'm not staying

down. I've got resurrection power

living on inside of me and we just not.

I love that song. It's so powerful now.

Let's go a little deeper. What's this in proverbs?

Are you ready? Church it says here verse 16 for

though the righteous fall savor and thoughts they.

Like this principle is awful of the Bible.

It's so powerful principle we see again, fooling is not the

problem. Fooling is not pleased.

Falling doesn't make you failure.

Stay in down bus Amen. OK, righteous.

OK to be You are not righteous because you're a perfect person.

You're righteous. Because you keep on getting back

up again, OK? Listen you Mayor Porter was

twice three times the Bible says 7 times the righteous rise again

that was saving is symbolic is a word for completion completion

somebody OK, so the Bible says listen secret time.

So 7 is mini completion. So that means God's Christ

doesn't run out. This mercy doesn't get tired.

The Bible says the fact is mercy every new every morning.

I like. I woke up this morning.

I don't really care what happened yesterday.

Today is a new day. Today, this first blood, this

grace. Mercy.

This grace is so gives birth. This grace today.

I don't know. Somebody listen, God's not

counting you out. He's counting you.

I made somebody. Can you send me?

You have been through the flood, but the waters did not drown

you. You came through the storm, but

the storm did not stop you. OK.

Why? Because what's inside of you?

Come on, get this revelation now.

Fright to the sea are you see you then he thank you my

daughters. We said no instructors right now

this sitcom like there is another city, he said wake up

every morning. What's this regulation our ears?

Like he shut up out of bed is a lot of bed is in the Sydney, but

he that is in the world, yeah, that is a residential power that

he can't make. Try the day Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is this is Josh. You wake up this morning, he

says a trapping there's another comment on the inside of you.

This is a rich and power that's right for your bloods throwing

for your DNA. This is a rich and power that is

a revelation. We walk around where greater as

you don't see us now. OK, so it might feel that you

have dropped the ball either a brand to either a mean to OK,

but listen somewhere along the line it just happened, OK, and

you just slip and you drop the ball OK now.

You mishandled what God has placed in your hands.

OK, but I've got good news for you today, chess.

If you feel like you dropped the ball, if you feel like you've

made a mistake, listen, you are not alone.

Let's just be honest and really checked.

You are not the only one that's dropped the ball.

You're not the only. One that's by the mistake the

Bible says we've all sent. So come on, stop pointing

fingers there front and say to stop it.

OK, we've all sent every single person on this planet.

We've all fallen, we've all made mistakes.

OK, so you're not alone. Even one of the highest leaders

in the church, God that was leading us, Moses dropped the

ball. Now I want to show this to you

because this is very powerful. Moses did the same thing in this

God gave him 3 tablets of stone. I mean that was just, I mean

these amazing stone tablets written by the very finger of

God. Kill Heben on stone.

Think about that, yeah. OK.

Is we'll just, you know, just talk about stone.

We are talking about sacred. This is sacred that God gave in.

OK, listen and God goes listen. This is sacred stone for the

heavenly print on this. Take this to my people.

And yet those Moses and Moses would come down the mountain of

Dory, and what did he walk into? Chaos, confusion, compromise.

The very same people of God that came through the Red Sea milling

ball of worshipping an idol dancing around in a calf golden

puff. And Moses snat out of

frustration and he flew it down and he shattered and broke all

of it. He shattered.

What was I breath it? Was completely shampoo.

What was sacred? And so it wasn't because he

didn't know God, it was because of the pressure of the people

that live in compromise, rebellion, disobedience.

And he got his stration, got the better of it.

Well, let's be honest. How many of us have been there?

Come on, let's be honest, OK? We.

Smashed. What was the sacred?

Which smash these this up not because we didn't care, but

because of the pressure around us.

Yeah, Yeah. The pressure that's been going

on, OK, Now sometimes, and this is very important because the

biggest go to your calling can because of the compromise of

somebody else, yeah. One of the biggest because of

the disobedience, the rebellion. The wrong choices of somebody

else they disobedience drank you and before you realize that

you've dropped the ball you've dropped what was sacred.

You have dropped. Maybe you've dropped a dream

that God gave you are a Corley or a talent.

Maybe you dropped, maybe it was a relationship that you did not

protect. But yeah, me today.

Don't throw away your peace because somebody else lost their

peace. Don't throw away your peace

because of what somebody else did with their peace, because

they gave up on their calling, because they turn labor and

don't give out what knows. They say protect your peace,

protect your peace. Regardless of what others are

doing, protect your will. Protect your gift regardless,

because this is what happened to Moses, the prison of the people.

And he dropped the ball. So protect your will listen.

Now this is where the miracle happens.

This is now. The good news because, and I

feel the grace of God all over this, because God didn't give up

on Moses. No, that's right.

He didn't give up on hoses and he's not giving up on you.

Yeah. We've dropped the ball.

God doesn't give up on us. It's not like a man.

It's not like other God Forgives.

Some other people may not forgive, but God has forgive.

Yes. God has not.

Given up on emojis. He's not given up on you now

instead, God said. And this is very powerful.

Watch this. Just though our. 2 stone stuff

is like the first was guy said. Now there's many was also

Michael when I have psycho chest disturbing me, come up to me on

the mountain and I will write on the side there's the.

Same words that were on the ones you smashed.

Oh, the grace of God has the goodness of God.

Hallelujah. Listen, he didn't give up on

Moses. He restored him.

He didn't cancel Moses. He didn't take appalling path.

No, he reconfirmed the he recommissioned Moses.

He said Moses, come back up again, highlight again, say

glory, say words. Just another chance.

Oh, somebody say that. Another chance.

Oh, I feel that. Oh, I feel that.

I'm linking in a spray today. Another Trump.

Oh, I won't got this one as they're taken for another

chance. Yeah.

Thank you for one more day. You're the God of the recourse.

Another chance, my God. Same calling, saying, well,

that's another chance. That's a God of redemption.

That's when grace steps in. OK, you've not gone too.

Far. OK, it's not over yet.

OK, it's not too far gone. It's not too late.

God is a God of another chance, another grace.

There's no limit to his grace. He's a God of sacred charges.

It gives us a sacred charge. So it's time to rise up and stop

rehearsing what went wrong. Stop rehearsing what went wrong.

Stop replaying how what now? You drop the ball.

What went wrong when you drop the ball, listen, shake off the

Guild because God is scoring you higher waiting up on the

mountain, OK. And so come up and shake off the

gill and just lift your your heart up and come back into the

glory. Step into the glory because this

is your moment to rise up. Hallelujah.

Yeah, the some of you be still carrying the weight of the

mistake of a past mistake. What went wrong?

And you've been wall picks by what you've mishandled.

Listen, let your pastor say. Don't let that past mistake

become your permanent abbess. Yeah, that's.

Right. Yeah.

Don't let what they did, don't let what that person or that was

so, so, so or looking at bold and what people's choices and

things going on in the raw. Don't did that distract you or

what you don't let what that keep you stuck at the bottom of

the mountain. OK, don't let that that divorce,

that addiction, that affair, that anger, that mistake,

failure, doesn't that keep you in shame?

It starts to rise up out. I just keep on moving forward

and start climbing again because God is not looking for for all

his people. God is looking for faith for us.

God is not calling the police. No, he's calling the persistent.

Yeah, he's listening to. Yeah.

Who says I'm climbing again? I'm getting back up again.

That's what is listening for. I'm still climbing.

I'm climbing back up on the mountain again.

I'm climbing again. Like I said to Moses, listen,

most come back onto the mountain.

That's what God is faulty. Come back onto the mountain.

Yeah. David, I'm going to give you

brand new ones. Yeah, it's not OK.

Stop crying over the ones that smashed.

Stop crying over the past mistakes.

Come back up again. Get a new assignment.

That is what God is saying. He's saying the same thing to

you that he said to Moses. That's what he's saying.

He said. Listen, come back up onto the

mountain. You are being recommissioned.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on. Go ahead.

And we drop the ball. But haven't we made the

freights? It's a clear slave.

Art is calling us up to the mountain.

He's giving us a planning one. Come on, please.

Recommission. Yeah, that's right.

Now let's go to one of my favorite.

Scriptures in the Bible as I 60 verse one.

Arise they're from the depression and the frustration

in which circumstances have kicked you rise to a new life

shine be right in with the glory of the Lord for your light has

come and the glory of the Lord has risen apart you now now will

in that verse the Bible said God does not say white until you

feel stronger it doesn't say wait until you feel holy until

you feel click yeah he says arise in it he says the.

Circumstances that us catching whatever situation, whatever

mess, whatever circumstances he's saying arise in it, that's

where we are. He did not say wait until you

feel holy or you feel better than stronger to arise.

He said arise in this, arise in the pain, arise in the process,

arise while your heart is still getting.

I'll arise while the tears are still free.

Arise because it's a rising and here is the rising has got

nothing to do with feelings, with how you feel to rise up has

got everything to do with what you've been called today.

That's the word of the Lord. We have been called to rise up.

So let me speak to the wounded warriors.

Let me speak to the silent strugglers, let me speak to the

faithful wars, let me speak to the rising ones that you have

been worshipping through the whites.

You've been weeping and the enemy has been whispering and

been saying to you that you're not strong enough.

Just give up and quite set this one up.

But the devil is a liar. You don't have to be pain free.

You don't have to be struggle free in order to rise.

You don't have to have all the circumstances to be lined up in

perfect true allies, OK, You you don't need it to be painful to

live a purposeful life, OK. And so God.

Is not asking for a flawless record.

When you look at all the warriors throughout the Bible,

many of these greatest warriors in the Bible, they didn't win

because they had a flawless game record.

Now they won't because they did not win, because they were

perfect people. They won because they rose up in

the mess, they rose up in the difficulty, in the challenges,

and they refused to give up. They never laid down.

They sword in the middle of a battle.

That's your warriors. They bled and they still

believe, OK. And I believe that same pouncing

back split anointing is rising up in you.

Yeah. Oh my God, I feel that I wanted

to bother you this nice. It's a bronze black conroiting

that's burning of its attitude. It's very easy.

It's crazy. It's the rise of the ruins and

it's rising up in you and it's in this place.

I feel that emerging of the spikes.

I'll say to you without anointing, it's here, it's a

rise up anointing. I feel it in this space because

there's many of you that you advising our as you're speaking

type this rise in our or in it rising up.

Many of us we have been pressing through.

You can worship with a lip. Listen, I'll never forget when I

wish a bleeder. I was still back in the days at

the community centre, priesthood community centre, and it's just

here comes our wish. A bleeder Moises back, twisted

muscles stuffed shoulders all twisted, all tights up my

growing headache. I mean, he's feeling rough, but

he got. Behind that keyboard, he didn't

wait to feel better, he just started to worship anyway.

My God, I said that your fight, why should put the limb Yes.

And many of you here today, you have similar stories, some of

the Sujai stories that listen, you have showed up beer today,

you have showed up in church with battle on the night,

battles going on the road, pile in your body, disappointment in

your heart, frustration. But you showed up.

I chose. You showed up anyway.

You still came, you still lifted your hands, you still praise,

you stole. So you still came to church

today. Now listen.

That moves the heart of God. God's watching Lordy, God's

watching that moves. The heart of God that touches

the heart of God I made you know I.

Remember when I used to play rugby back in the day and just

before the game? We would get together in the

changing rooms and you just you have the the boots are getting

ready jerseys on and all that and medical tape around the

knees and the joints and the rest medical city and the whole

changing room. It just smells like miffle deep

beats. All right.

You just see these ice packs everywhere and I'm like, wow, it

didn't look like a team getting ready for a game.

It looked like a team that just come off the field.

Let's just come out there. I'll finish the game.

OK. And so it looked more like the

aftermath of a battle, aftermath of a war rather than the start

of a game. I mean, one of my team mates, I

caught my eye. This guy I just looked at, he's

ripped. It was blue and bruised.

He shrubs from the previous guy. He had a place in his hand, I

mean, type around his knees. He had that padded stuff around

his, you know, his shoulders. And Chase had it.

Yeah, like type. Around his head because of the

compassion. I thought to myself, Sir, it's

not going to go on today. No, it's not going to pay.

Now. He's going to set this one up.

Even the coach said, listen, son, take it easy.

You know, you up, take it easy. You don't, you don't, you know,

he literally looked like a walking hospital.

I'm like, I'll never forget what he said to the coast.

I mean, the coach is a young man.

Listen, you could take it outside the coast, he said.

I, I, I'm in pain. I have a little pain, Sir.

But I would rather be in pain in the game than sitting on the

sidelines. Watch that crutch me, that's

Sabre be. I'd rather be in the playing of

pain and sitting on the beach on the sidelines watching.

I want to be in the game. Get back in the game.

Oh, Hallelujah. Wow.

That's just the sound of an overcomer.

That is the sound when he's shaker.

That is the sound of a rising up one.

That is a sound after 5 or I believe that same fire is

burning in this place today. That overcoming is in this room

today. There are people here.

You have walked through hardship, you've walked for

difficulty. You've been not down through

hardship and pretty difficulties.

But what's amazing is even through all of that

difficulties, you still. Came you walked in here anyway.

Heaven is taking notice. Heaven is taking notice.

Listen, you've taken hits, you've taken knocks, you've

taken Hicks, but you didn't stay up.

Even takes notice. That's heaven.

The stars, The scars don't disqualify champion scars.

What it? Proves that you stayed in the

game, You stayed in the fights. You're starting the fight.

Come on, come on. Let's just be honest.

Life is not easy. It's not pretty.

Come on. OK, is this.

But what's amazing is, listen, maybe life happened to you and

you've had some deep hurts, you've had some knocks and you

find yourselves on the bench on the side lots.

I'm here to tell you, get back in the game.

We've all been hit. Get back in the game.

Listen, we've all gone through, we've all had that.

Listen, get back in the game. Don't let the pain keep you on

the sidelines. Yeah.

We've all had church fight some person hurt or this we've all

had hurt at workplaces or different places.

OK, But I'm here to tell you, don't let that pain put you on

the side. Don't wait to get it all

together before you get back into the game.

I love what Bill Johnson said. It's right in the front lines.

That is where we belong, The fraud.

OK, not at the sidelines. I remember talking to somebody

at church. Yeah, it was one Sunday morning.

And the person that just got through surgery and I just asked

her, I'm like, how are you doing?

And that person smiled through the pain.

And you're sipping icy faces. You've got the surgeon right

there. He's smiled through the.

I am. And.

And this is what the person I'll never forget.

It was and some person said I am hurting but I'm yeah.

Of the surgery. OK, I'm hurting.

Bam. Yeah.

Heaven notices. I'm hoping.

OK. I've had surgery.

I'm stuck. Michelle, my wife gave birth one

Sunday. The very next Sunday, she's back

in church. Come on.

Somebody. No.

Somebody. Oh, my God.

She's not like no, Michelle. No, no, no, no.

I live with her. That woman is a warrior.

I'm sending you there. She's a warrior.

My God, she's a warrior. I'll go back with her for

everything. I'll fight.

That's a warrior. She's a mighty warrior.

Oh my God. You don't make so far.

I know, I know. Right there.

I just not there. And I hug and I just.

You are amazing. That's the kind of phrase that

moves matters. You might be hurting, but you

showed up. You might be shrubbing, You

might be weeping, but you're still worshipping.

There's power in staying in the game.

There's power in staying in the fight.

There's power in staying on the field.

We've all been hit. We have all been betrayed.

We've all been rejected. We've all had our.

Moments where the enemies tried to knock us out and knock us

down. But just because you are

limping, it doesn't mean you have lost.

You don't need to have it all together to say, coach, put me

back in. You don't need to have all

together. I'm still ready.

I might have been knocked out already.

Still available, Lord. And so when God sees you, Christ

through the pain, when God sees you serve through the struggle,

God releases fresh what? And it releases a fresh fire.

Fisher Mighty. Was I love with Tyson through

when he can listen. When you rise up, you look the

energy bit in the past. You say, listen, I'm back.

Are you? Oh, you saw she's a Milky.

All right, I can't. You just start a pop, but you

just have that devil Devil you fight.

If you don't be that, I am back with the fight with the

vengeance. I am still here.

I am still in the game. I'm still fighting the good

fight a fight. Please.

We're going to fight us. We're going to fight us to the

end. Oh Hallelujah.

It's not falling, it's getting up.

Remember that tablet? Oh, Psalm 23 For even though I

walk through the valley, I will fear no evil for you.

What free David? Didn't say even though I sit in

the valley, he say no, I walk through it, he moving through

it. And we don't pitch a tent in the

valley. We don't stay stuck in the

valley. We keep on moving forward

because there's more ahead, the bases there to come.

There is glory waiting. Now let me tell you a story that

moves me to this day in 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

I had holiday Tanzania marathon runner his name is John Stephen

up while he was a runner in the race and so worried partway

through the race he fell ha dislocated his knee.

He just completely bruised his leg, buzzed us, busted his leg,

he was bleeding, could barely. Walk I saw the most people

assumed that he was out of the race, but then hours later, the

crowd heard a stir and yes, a quarry lumping into the stadium.

And so when the reports are asking, listen, party, why

didn't you just give up? Why didn't you just stop and

give up? He said.

My country did not sing me for thousands and miles all the way

here to just start a race. My country sent me 5000 miles

away because I've finished the race.

We've been a CG. Yeah, of the sun.

Not to start the race, but to finish your race.

You've been stained from heaven. We are from heaven.

We are just passing through this earth.

This is not our home. We are called to finish.

Mount this is what the race it is Judge.

I never thought of stopping. God didn't call you to start

that you were born to finish. What God has started in your

life, He is faithful to complete.

Hallelujah. So in closing, let me take you

to story that Jesus told about a young man, a son.

We decided that he did not want his father's house anymore.

So he asked for the Puritans early.

Packed his bag, ran away from homeless bar is Ecuador.

Fart like freedom parted. Chase off of the fall.

You see, sin has got a pattern. It always leads to a dead end

and the dead and soon he ended up sitting in the full feed pig

begging for food made for the pigs.

Now watch this because this is where the story shifts.

When he came to himself, he said how many of my father's hide

siblings are breathing now speak and I perish with hunger.

Now that is a moment where the light, the truth shone through

the lies, and he came to himself.

Now the very next verse, Watch this because this is the voice

of Revive. Verse it I will.

Arise somebody Shire, and I'll come to my father.

I will arise, Hallelujah, arise even where they say that even in

the Mace, notice he did not first clean himself up.

He did not like to clean himself up first.

He said right, right there in the Mace.

That is a church. I want you to grab that in your

spirit to that in the difficulty in the chalice.

On the floor, knocked down in the big bin.

I will arise. That's where it starts.

Am I? That's been changed.

A changed mind and made-up mind. He didn't wait until you feel

holy. He just came back.

He did not come. That Polish.

He did not come back. OK, he arose.

He came back. And so as we come to the close

of this word today, this is your moment to rise.

Arise from the mess, the difficult, the challenge,

whatever it is. Arise from the depression, from

the pit, from the loudiness. Arise.

From the rejection, the sickness, the affliction, the

guilt, whatever he arise out of it.

Because this is the start of your comeback.

Now here's my favorite part of the story, verse 20 And he

arouse and came to his father. But when he was still a great

boy, or his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell

on his neck and kissed in. I love it when the sun arise.

The Bible says that the Father ran to him.

And the father did not cross his arms and say, oh, go, go and

clean yourself up. Go in this soldiers up before I

talk to you. No.

He opened his arms. He wrapped his arms in the

honey. He kissed him with compassion.

He loved him, he said. Get him.

On get away. Fire off.

Fire up the face. Let's send.

It runs. My son is back.

My son is back. Oh yes, instead of late.

He aroused my son is back. Listen, the father ran to him.

He did not wait for him to even while the son still smelled like

the pig still smelled dirty and was broken, stolen dirty.

But the father ran to him and he said my son is back.

And that is what? We come as we are, as you come

as you are. We don't have to fix ourselves

through something. You don't take a bath.

You go to take a bath to get kicked.

Come as you are just as you are, and that's what happens when you

rise. Yes, I'm initial stands

together. Let's keep our surprise

Hallelujah. Now maybe you here today or you

feel like Paul that's been styled left for dead by

disappointment or rejected by people OK or beaten down by

betrayal. Or maybe you feel like the

prodigal that you far from where you thought you.

Would be in Life OK, Maybe something happened, A deep

hurts, a wrong turn, a rejection, a secret struggle, a

silent grief. Maybe something happened and now

you are sitting in your own pig pen and so you are asking how in

the world did I get you? How did I would God even want

someone like me? Listen, the truth is the Father

has been waiting. He's been waiting for a

celebration. He's waiting for you and for me,

for with arms wide open for his sons and his daughters to arise.

He's waiting to celebrate, to say rise up, silent daughter,

rise up and come. And so if this word is touching

your heart today and it's burning in your spirit and this

is a word for you, I want you to respond.

And if you say this is your comeback moment.

This is your rise moment. Listen, I want you to respond

with everything you've got and open your heart and cry out to

God and say God, this is my moment.

I'm coming back, I'm arising. This is my moment.

So if that is you, lift up your hands to heaven right now and

say out loud, this is my comeback moment.

I am arising again. Somebody said Hallelujah, now

receive this prayer. Raise your eyes to heaven.

Father, I pray for every son, every daughter standing in your

presence right now. Some have fallen, some have

wandered, some have wet behind closed doors.

But right now, Lord, I thank you that you are the God who

restores. I thank you that you are the God

of resurrection. And then that resurrection power

begins to flow. Let it be flow right now and let

every buried dream begin to rise.

Let it begin to love again. And Lord break off every shade,

every guilt, every betrayal. Lord cover.

They passed under the blood of Jesus, the power of the blood of

Jesus. And I declare to everyone here,

you will arise, you will never rise again.

You'll bounce back. You will fulfill the call of God

in your life in Jesus mighty name, I, the Queen of the fly

over you. Look at me everybody.

You will rise again, you will rise again.

You will rise. Come on somebody, so you will

rise. Let's put some declarations out

now together. Say I decree this is my rise up

moments. I declare I've got resurrection

power inside of me. I declare.

I will rise again, shout it one good time, give down some brain.

Hallelujah. So before I.

Close If we've never invited Jesus into your heart, into your

life, I want to give you an opportunity.

If there's anybody yet that want to receive Jesus, become a child

of God. If that's you, just raise up

your hand, right? There where you are, anybody is

everybody a child of God. Everybody right now, if you know

this is your last damn planet Earth, you stand before God.

You're going to heaven if you know 100% for sure.

Anybody anybody here everybody born again safe washing the

blood Hallelujah respride together.

Pity. Thank you.

We're searching the biggest dead.

We're searching up here. Keep the front.

We're going to worship bar for a moment and we get a minister.

miracles in our mist today. So right now let's come
