It's My Time

You are at the turning point, you are at a pivotal time, you are at a critical hour, you are at a defining season, you are at a game-changing moment, you are at a watershed moment, you are at a crossroads, you are at a point of transition, you are at a moment of shift, and you are at a breaking point, and I want to let you know it's all set up by heaven.

God has set you up because He does not want you to be in lack. He has set you up because He wants you to walk in favor.

Prophet Nathaniel Saint of Lord.

This is a shout in this place.

Come on, can we give Jesus a shout in this place?

All right, I'm ready. Let's open up to Mark 10. If you have your Bibles, some of y'all still carry the physical copy.

Y'all, y'all really saved. That's what a real save folks. When you got the paper, you see one of the guys right there got it. She saved saved.

Y'all ready?

How does more people in this service, but first service, they was ready for the Word.

Are we going to try it again? Y'all ready for the Word?

All right, let's go. Mark chapter 10. Do you want me to tell you the title first? Or do you want me to read the verses first?

Mark 10 · chapter mention

Title of the sermon. I'm going to give you all the choice. The only time I'm going to give you all the choice.

Title. The title of my sermon is, it's my time. I'm going to say it again for those who didn't catch it. It's my time.

You know what that means? That means nothing can stop you in this season. You have a momentum in your life where no devil, no demon, no principality, no power, no lie, no assignment of man, nothing that the government can do.

Nothing that the system can do can stop you because greater is he that's within you than he that is in the world. This is your season.

Oh, somebody, I need you to shop. This is my season of favor. This is my season of breakthrough. This is my season of healing.

This is my season and everything God promised for my life is coming to pass in Jesus' name. If you believe it, give God a shout in this place.

I just want you to slap me on the behalf of five and say, you look great this morning.

Mark chapter 10. I hope everyone told the truth in church. Now I'm just kidding. Y'all did. Everyone looks great.

Mark 10 · chapter mention

Mark chapter 10. We're going to start reading at verse 46. Somebody say it's my time.

Mark 10 · chapter mention

Some y'all didn't say it because you don't believe it. You believe it's someone else's time. Your neighbor's time. Someone else's time. This is my time. I need you to say it.

Be your own prophet. Come on. Speak to yourself. It's my time.

Mark chapter 10. Now they came to Jericho and as they went out of Jericho with his disciples in a great multitude, blind Mark to me is the son of to me is sat on the road begging.

Mark 10 · chapter mention

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, Jesus son of David have mercy on me than many warned him to be quiet.

But he cried out all the more. Jesus son of David have mercy on me. So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

Then they called the blind man saying to him, be of good cheer. Rise. He is calling you. Isn't it so interesting? I have to stop. I stopped at this point in the first service as well.

But I have to stop right here. Isn't it so funny that the same people who are telling them to require are now the same people telling them to be of good cheer? Isn't it how funny and fickle human beings are that in one moment, hey, be quiet. Shut up. Don't speak. And in the next moment, be of good cheer. God loves you.

I'm going to say more, but I'm going to keep reading. Be of good cheer. Rise. He is calling you and throwing aside his garment. He rose and came to Jesus. So Jesus answered and said to him, what do you want me to do for you?

The blind man said to him, Roboni, I was just means teacher are like a head teacher. That I may receive my sight. Then Jesus said to him, go your way. Your faith has made you well.

And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. May God bless the reading of his word. That was weak. May God bless the reading of his word.

Okay, I heard that someone was like, I'm a sane man. Rob, somebody say it's my time. One of the tactics of the enemy is to distract you so that you can miss your season.

One thing I want to let you know is that there are different seasons that are going to come in your life. There are going to be seasons of breakthrough and harvest and healing and deliverance.

They're going to be seasons where God wants to do something new and fresh. He wants to bring renewal. He wants to bring strength. He wants to bring energy. He wants to bring healing. He wants to set you on course for your best life.

But one thing I want to encourage you with is that just know that when you're right at the precipice of your breakthrough, you're right at the point where God's about to do something special and amazing in your life.

The enemy would come with tactics, tricks and devices right before you get to the finish line so that you will not finish the assignment and you will not walk into your season of victory.

I believe that every person in this place is pregnant with destiny, purpose, calling, anointing, grace, business, acumen, explosive, anointing and fire for a generation.

What the devil wants to do is right before you step into your calling is to try to abort the dream and the vision. But I came as a midwife to let you know that this is your season to push this thing out.

This is your season to give birth to it. You will not lose in this season. You will not have a stillborn in this season.

Everything God ordained for you to walk in. You're about to walk into everything God destined for you to walk into. This is your season. This is your due season. This is your acceptable season.

This is your season of increase. This is your season of breakthrough. If you believe it, say yes.

See, I don't give God a cute praise because I don't want to keep breakthrough. You do the cute seal of praise when you want to keep breakthrough.

When you need God to explode in your life, you need to give God an explosive type praise. When you believe that you stepped out of the old season and stepped into a season of breakthrough, you can't give God a cute seal praise.

You've got to give Him the kind of praise where you're believing that God is already done. Somebody shout, it's already done.

One of the things I wanted to encourage you with is this. There's two words in the Greek for time. One is a word called Kronos.

This word Kronos is where we get the word chronological. It has to do with chronological time.

One person said yes, all right. Chronological time, sequential time. It's ordinary measurable time like seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, decades, so on, so on.

It's linear, it's quantitative, it's using the scripture to talk about a specific moment like 330, 430, a specific chronological time.

But there's a second word in the Greek that talks about time because I said it's here time. Somebody say it's my time.

And the word that I'm talking about when I say it's your time, it's not chronological, it's 330. The time that I'm talking about is the word Kairos.

And the word Kairos means an appointed time. It means the right and opportune time. This talks about a divinely appointed due season.

That strategically is set up by heaven and by God. It's not a qualitative time, it's a quantitative time.

Which means it's a time set by God for you to walk in all of the favor, the benefits, the blessing, and the increase that he died for you to have.

I believe many of you are about to step into that season and it's called your Kairos season. It's your time where God has divinely placed you on the earth for you to step in everything he wants you to walk in.

That means some of you have been in the pattern, in the holding pattern of believing God for your chrono season. At 30, this is going to happen. At 35, this is going to happen.

Three years from now, we'll buy a house. Six years from now, this is going to happen. God says, I'm getting to rip up your time table.

And I'm going to do things in my divine timing. Which means it may take one week for something you thought was going to happen seven years from now.

I believe that God's going to do things that you've never even dreamed or imagined because you're about to step into your Kairos season.

You're about to step into your divine moment. You're about to step into the place where every promise of God that's been delayed over your life is coming all at once.

The breakthrough is getting ready to hit your children, getting ready to hit your husband, getting ready to hit your wife, getting ready to hit your business, getting ready to explode in your life.

If you believe this, hey, yes. All right. All right. So I want to read a few scriptures that talk about your time and how God is about to do something like you've never seen in this hour.

All right. Can I say this even before I go there? We have to learn how to merge the word with divine timing.

A lot of us, here's what we do. We read a lot of scriptures. We read a lot of scriptures. And I love reading the word. I think the word is so important. But what we need to do is we need to start marrying and merging the word with God's divine timing.

You know how you walk into results. You walk into breakthrough. You walk into harvest is when you take God's word. And you say, God, your word says this. And what is what are you saying about the timing of this?

So when the word marries timing, that's how you get breakthrough. That's how you walk into harvest. You know, think about someone who's planting seed, right?

How does that seed come to pass us? When they take the seed, they put in the ground and then the perfect timing happens. If you try to do it before the time, like think about a tree, right? A tree's growing, a tree's growing. Let's say it's a banana tree, apple tree, whatever.

Before it fully germinates, before it fully grows, before it's time, you look at the tree and you're like, oh, this don't look right? Because it's not at full maturity yet.

But there's a time when you look at that tree and you realize this thing has everything I need to be sustained.

And I believe that you're going to step in that same time just like that tree. Everything around you doesn't look right. But God says I'm about to accelerate your season.

And everything that was in ready in the last season, God's about to make it ready in this season. I believe that prophetically, even for the nation, that America has stepped into an accelerated season, that whatever spirit has been over this nation, that in this season, God has pushed this nation into a Cairo season, a divine season.

Where you haven't caught anything all night, but Jesus is saying, cast your net on the other side, because there's harvest getting ready to come.

Yeah, I believe you stepped into the season where you saw every doctor and it didn't work, but you're about to press through the crowd. And at the right moment, you're going to touch the hem of his garment and you will be made whole.

I believe you just stepped into the season of divine breakthrough. If you believe this, hey, yes.

You've got to learn that there are moments where God brings blessing. There's blessing attached to moments. The Bible even says there's dimensions of grace and beauty attached to every season.

The scripture says he makes all things beautiful in its three y'all know the word. There's a time where even the worst of your situation, God's going to turn it around and make it look good.

You see, you can ask Joseph about it because Joseph was thrown into a pit. He was put into part of his house. Then he was thrown into prison and it looked like nothing was going to go right for him, but he had a dream. And at the right, God came through and made everything look beautiful.

I believe you just stepped into your Joseph season. A season where you've been despised, you've been rejected, you've been belittled, you've been talked about, you were lied on, they didn't even care about you on your job.

They treated you like you were an afterthought, but God says you're getting ready to step out of your old season and you're getting ready to step into your Cairo season.

That means everything that's been locked up, they forgot you in prison, but God's about to remember you. They forgot you in prison, but God's about to bring you up. They forgot you in the pit, but God's about to bring you to your season of breakthrough.

I just need about three people who know. I just moved from one dimension to the next dimension. I just moved from one season to the next season and the king is getting ready to strip off your old garments, put on some new garments and bring you up and put you as second command over the nation.

Joseph, get ready, because this is your season, this is your time, this is your hour, this is your moment, someone shout, it's my time.

I feel like preaching in here. I'm not going to miss my moment.

One of the things about timing is a lot of the times, if you don't step into divine timing, you miss a season that may take 10, 15, 20 years to walk back into.

That's why I won't miss any moments in Jesus name. Let me say it about you, you will not miss any moments in Jesus name. You will not miss the divine timing where God wants to do something.

I know you've been trying to catch fish all night disciples, but all you got to do is cast a net on the other time and right when they listen to the divine word, the divine timing came and everything they needed right in that moment, God gave them more they could even imagine.

Somebody say I'm stepping into my time. You're stepping into your Cairo season. All right, so look at this. Let me, let me read, let me see how many verses I want to read about timing.

Let's look at about three verses. Y'all ready for this? Galatians 6.9, let's open up. Somebody say it's my time. Let us not grow weary and doing good.

So, do good, why? For in, you have a school, this is the due date for the assignment. And you have those professors, one minute late.

You, January 1st, 11, 59. And you, you, you get it on the second at midnight. And the teacher looks at it, failed over.

See, God's kind of like that with your due season. But in the opposite way, he looks at the season and he goes, this time cannot end until my son and my daughter reap everything that they sow.

I won't allow this year to end. I'm, I'm prophesying for people. You see, you got to start speaking in faith like that over your year. You got to be the governor over your year and the legislator over your year.

Because if you don't govern your year, someone else will govern it. If you don't legislate your year, your job will legislate your year. If you don't govern your year, the devil will govern your year. If you don't legislate your year, you got to start making the confessions that David made.

When David said about his year, he said, the Lord is crowning my year with goodness and my path is dripped with abundance. You see, I don't let anyone talk about my year and how my year is going to look.

My year is crowned with goodness and is dripping with abundance and nothing can stop me. You got to start speaking over your year, speaking over your day, speaking over your family. As for me in my house, we shall serve the Lord. When an attack comes, I go greater as he that's within me than he that is in the world.

When I start using the power of my words, I know life and death is in the power of my tongue. And if I want to see my time, accelerate and God bring me into my due season, I need to start speaking like it already happened.

So there's things that haven't already designed for you to walk into. It's due for you and you haven't reaped yet. There's a disconnect.

There's a disconnect. If we, here's how you reap it. And this is where some of us don't get into reaping. If we do not lose, you know how you step into the season that's due for you.

First of all, you have to give. You have to show, right? Keep on doing your good thing. Keep on showing. Keep on believing. And I may have been talking about money, so your time, so your resources, so your energy, so in prayer, so in fasting. Keep on giving. And it says, here's how it's going to manifest when you don't lose heart.

When it's your time, what happens is many of us are so heart sick because of disappointment. Some of you get so heart sick because it happened the way I thought it would happen or when it would happen that you actually miss out on a reaping season.

You're crying so much about the last season that God's trying to bring into a new season, but you're still crying. What did God tell Samuel when he rejected Saul? He said, he said, Samuel first, Samuel chapter 16, Samuel stopped crying over Saul. I rejected him as the king of Israel.

I'm about to bring the nation into a new season and you can't be crying about the old season when God's trying to bring you into the new season. You can't be weeping about the old relationship when God's trying to bring you into a new relationship.

You can't be weeping about the old church when God's brought you into a new church. You can't be weeping over the disappointments of the last season when God has divine appointments in this season.

I won't cry over what didn't work out because I'm stepping into my reaping season.

I can't lose heart. I'll do one more verse because the time says I don't have a lot.

Psalm 102, verse 13, somebody say it's my time. Look at this.

Psalms 102:13

You will arise and have mercy on Zion for the time to favor her. Yes. There's a time of favor, right?

Yes. Yes means amen. Yes is agreement. There's a time of favor that God's people are going to walk into. Yep. Yep. The Bible is like, yeah, it's true.

Look what it says about that time. It's the set time for favor. There's a set time for breakthrough. There's a set time for harvest. There's a set time where God does something in your life and you don't want to miss that time.

And it says, yes, the set time has come. Can I give someone a word in here? It's not deep. It's not even prophetic. It's just biblical. This is your set time.

This is your set time where favor will bring you further than labor. There's stuff that you can work hard and grind all day long to get.

But there are things that favor will bring you that your job can bring you. There are things that God's favor will allow you to walk into that you couldn't do it in your flesh. I own three houses, not because of my job, not because of preaching full time. It came through favor. Somebody say favor.

There are things favor would do for you that your job can't do for you. There are benefits. You know, the Lord, the Lord is ministering this to me this morning. He said, I have benefits for my people, but most of them don't take advantage of the benefits.

I'm about my old job. They had a whole bunch of benefits. If you put this much in the 401k, we'll match it. Yeah, there's this benefit with health insurance.

A lot of times you don't take the job because of the salary. You want a great salary, but you'll be willing to take 5,000 less if the benefits are better.

Hold on. So I don't got to pay for my health insurance at all.

So you're telling me I get six weeks off. The other job was giving me two weeks off.

There are benefits that God has for you. You know, the Bible says in Psalm chapter 68 verse 19, it says, daily he loads us with benefits.

Psalms 68:19

Which means every day you have to wake up with an expectation. There are benefits for me. God, where's my benefit package? I'm your child and I don't only get a salary salvation.

Where are the benefits? I believe every day. The NSA guys are going to give you benefits. This is daily he will load you with benefits. You know that language is like an animal and then they put all the stuff on that animal as much as they can.

And the animals walking like this. Because there's so much on the back of that animal. I believe that's how God wants to load you with his benefits.

To the point where it's just so much blessing. This is so much open doors. This is so many opportunities. It's just so much goodness. Maybe this is your time for benefits.

And it's someone who three tells you what the benefits are. Bless the Lord on my soul and forget not his benefits. Who forgives all your sins, heals your diseases, crowns you with loving kindness, redeems your soul from destruction, satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the Eagles.

He tells you the benefits he wants you to walk into. I went way off track, but I'm coming back in someone say come back in. Come back in man, I got come back in.

So finally that brings us to our text. And here's what I want to say to some of you. You are at the turning point. You are at a pivotal time. You had a critical hour. You had a defining season. You had a game changing moment.

You had a watershed moment. You had a crossroads. You had a point of transition. You had a moment of shift. And you are at a breaking point. And I want to let you know it's all set up by heaven.

God has set you up because he does not want you to be in lack. He has set you up because he wants you to walk in favor. He wants you to walk in goodness. He wants you to walk into the anointing. He wants you to walk into grace. This is your time.

So I'm looking at Barton Bayes. And here's what's really interesting. This was a road that Jesus would take many times during his ministry and his life, his 33 years, 33 and a half years on the earth. He took this road several times. It was a road from Jericho to Jerusalem. And he would take the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. You have to understand something about this road.

The 18 mile trip from Jericho. Are you also with me? Are y'all catching something? Are y'all getting something from what I'm saying? This trip from Jericho to Jerusalem was an 18 mile treacherous road. You started somewhere like five, 600 feet under the, the below the sea level.

And then you climbed all the way up, 2500 feet above the sea level to Jerusalem. This was a treacherous road. There were, and you know what the Bible says? Jesus even said it in Luke chapter 10 verse 30, where he talks about the story of the good Samaritan. He said, this road from Jerusalem to Jericho, there was thieves on that road.

Luke 10:30

Even when he was telling a story, he talked about that road. He said, we don't really mess with that road. If I'm going that road, I'm going to bring my whole crew, Peter and all of them. If you get it, you get it. If you didn't, you just need to read the Bible a little more.

Because Peter wasn't like the other disciples. The Bible says when they try to get Jesus, he took the knife and I was like, yo, what up?

That was good. People still have some New York in it. I think he was from the Bronx.

You see, this road from Jerusalem to Jericho, Jericho to Jerusalem, it was filled with these, it was filled with robbers, it was treacherous. It was, it was, it was complicated. It was tough.

And this is the road where this man happened to be begging. The worst, it was a type of road. It was like late at night, the lights are off.

Yo, maybe I'll just walk six blocks. Just so I don't have to go down that street. I believe the Lord is with me. But I'm also wise.

So imagine this is road, treacherous road, intense road, bandits and robbers. And Jesus is walking by this road. But here's what makes it really interesting is that this was the last time Jesus was going to walk down the road.

I told you it's your time. This was the last time because after Jesus did this trip, he would literally go before Pontius Pilate. He would be replaced with a robber.

He would be beaten and scorched. He'll be put up on a bloody cross, a crown of thorns on his head nails in his hands in his feet. You have to see the imagery here. This was the last time Jesus would do this trip and Bartimaus even though at that moment he wasn't safe.

Something rise up in him, something rose up in him that said, Jesus is walking by. I'm not going to miss my moment. You see some of you come to church and you do the same old religious jig. You do the same old religious jack.

You do the same old religious stuff. Oh, man, I'm just going to sit in the back and then once they say services are going to run out of there because you're not going after Jesus. You came here so you can put on your church attendance. God, I came to church, but there's no pursuit. Your life hasn't been changed.

Bartimaus, you have to see his condition. The Bible says he's sitting in the dirt. He's sitting on the side of the road. He's blind and he's begging.

Bartimaus is in the worst place of his life and he realizes something. If I don't do something, I'm going to stay here forever. If I don't do something, I'm going to stay in this cycle of pornography forever.

Oh, my God. If I don't do something, I'm going to end up in this cycle of fear and doubt and struggle and I don't want to be in a cycle.

I don't want to be going through the same thing 20 years from now that I'm going through right now when I serve the God of heaven and earth, the God of breakthrough, the God of healing.

You've got to start saying I refuse to be the same. You sit on the side of the road and you have to see this man, his name, I looked it up and his name has two meanings.

I was like, Lord, I don't understand what this means. The first meaning of his name. First, you have to understand his name. His name is bar Tameus. The word bar in Aramaic means the son of Tameus means two things.

So anytime they're like, this is the son of this person, they will say bar. Like for example, when Jesus was speaking to Peter, he goes, you're Simon bar Jonah, you're Simon the son of talk. I'm here preaching. I'm sweating.

Have you like Jonah? The son of Jonah. So bar means son of. So bar Tameus means the son of Tameus. I wonder, was that even his name?

I was at what people called him. You look so much like your dad. Oh, this is the son of Tameus. He was in such a desperate place. He didn't even have his own identity. I think we thought that was his name. No, that was not his name. That's how people identified him.

And when I looked up his name, his name had two meanings. The first meaning was unclean. And the second meaning was honorable. And I was like, Lord, what does that mean? Loose has each and every one of us have two natures.

You can either live by the nature of the flesh or the nature of the spirit. When you live by the nature of the flesh, you live a unclean life. When you live by the system of this world, you live a unclean life. When you live in Christ, you live honorably. Honorable doesn't mean perfect. Honorable means that someone made you righteous. Someone looked at you and saw something in you that you didn't see in yourself.

I sense that God is changing some people tonight this afternoon. He is changing your identity. He is changing your name. He is shifting you from one season to the next season. And this is your time.

And you know what? As Jesus walks by, you can't be passive. You can't do, well, you know, maybe next week I'll get something from God. Nope. I got to get it now.

Because I don't know this is the last time I'm going to be in this building. I don't know if I go home and I go to sleep and I never wake up again. If I'm going to get something from God, I'm going to get it today. If I'm going to get a breakthrough, today is a day of salvation. Right now is the acceptable hour of paper. I'm going to walk into it now because I won't miss my moment. I won't miss it because I need to walk in everything God called me to.

See, where's that passion? We don't have that passionate preaching. It's like, go home and just live your life. No, I want to live for Christ.

Two natures. And Bartimaeus, he hears that Jesus is passing by. You know what the Bible says? When he hears about Jesus passing by, that's when he gets aggressive.

Jesus, the Bible says he starts shouting. That's why he's so loud in church. Because I realize I'm blind and the only way to see is to get the attention of the Savior.

And sometimes the Savior doesn't look at your dignified praise and respond to it. Sometimes it takes the undignified praise, the desperate praise.

That praise where you're like, I have no other choice but to trust you. I have no other choice but to seek you. I have no other choice but to go after you.

Doctors didn't have the solution. Friends didn't have the solution. My job doesn't have the solution. Drugs doesn't have the solution.

I drink enough alcohol. I drink so much. I'm like a fish. Not me. I hate alcohol. It's disgusting to me. I'm being honest.

If you ever hear provenate, he's drinking alcohol. Tell them that devil is a liar. I hate that thing. I hate to smell. It makes me want to throw up. It's disgusting.

And it's not like I'm being super deep or spiritual. It's nasty. Just taste. The only reason people drink alcohol is not for taste. Maybe wine.

But anything else is not because of taste. You drink a hard liquor. That's not for taste. You want to get drunk or tipsy. Amen.

There's no way you're drinking. There's no way because that thing tastes like throw up on top of throw up with a side of throw up.

And if you like the sweet drinks, just have some ice cream. Because the only purpose is to take the only purpose of drinking for real.

Can we be honest for the most part is so that you can get the feeling that the Holy Spirit is supposed to give you without guilt and conviction.

The Holy Spirit will give you that feeling of ease, of comfort, of no reservations. But it will come with no conviction, no throwing up.

He's giving you a better deal. He says, do not be drunk with wine, which is dissipation, but be filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

I'm getting back to my sermon. I lost half the crowd. They're like, ooh.

Bartomey's on the side of the road. He's begging. And he says crying out, Jesus, 70 David, have mercy on me. And then guess what the crowd does? You're too loud.

It ain't that kind of church here. No, not city light. I'm talking about another church. We don't scream like that. We're not loud like that. Why are you doing too much?

But I need Jesus. You're doing too much, but I need Jesus. So you know, the Bible says the crowd tells me to be quiet. I love how undignified he is. I love how desperate he is. The Bible says he started screaming even louder.

He started being even more enruly. He started being even more creative with his praise. Oh, you told me I can't shout. Now I'm a jump. Hey, Jesus. You're telling me I can't jump a spin.

I'm going to get even more radical. You see some of you, you let people dictate how much you praise God. You let situations dictate what your praise looks like.

You let the temperature of your church or your region tell you how much you should praise. I don't care if they're not praising. I got a praise on the inside that I can't let.

So you all need to lift up your hands and give God a shout like you really believe it.

I don't let my denominational preference dictate my praise. The Bible says, everything that has breath, praise the Lord.

I don't even let how I feel did take my praise. Why are you downcast? Oh, my soul. Hope in God yet will I praise him.

Tell me when the person hits me, I look at the person. I'm still going to praise him.

I got to go. I got to go.

So he's begging on the side of the road. He's crying out. Crowds doesn't be quiet. I guess what he starts doing. Crying out even more.

Because he knew his condition wasn't his conclusion. Well, I'm going to say that again.

Your condition is not your conclusion. When Jesus is walking by, no matter what condition, this is why I said it's your time. It's your Cairo moment.

You got to realize and discern when it's your time because when it's your time, if you're silent, you won't get the breakthrough.

When it's your time, if you try to be a Qt, you won't get your breakthrough. It comes to desperate people.

Here's the Bible says about a woman who wanted an answer from the judge. She kept knocking on the door.

And the judge is like, leave me alone. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. She keeps knocking on the door. She doesn't leave me alone.

This is the judge went to the bathroom and she's like, yo, my man, I know you're dropping a douche.

I don't care. I need an answer. And Jesus is like, that's how you should be seeking me.

And with that level of desperation, that audacious type of persistent pursuit after the things of God, I won't stop knocking.

I won't stop seeking. I won't stop asking until I get the answer.

Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. And it wasn't just that he shouted is what he shouted.

David was a messianic term, which means he had a revelation that the disciples didn't even have.

He was blind, but still had more discernment than the disciples.

Because what he's screaming was saying, you're the Messiah. No, Messiah means the one who saves.

See, whatever you need from God, that's what you have to start crying out.

Lord, save me. Lord, save me. You sick in your body.

Joe Verafa, the Lord, my healer. You're in a battle in the spiritual warfare and you can't get victory.

You need to say, Joe, a good boy. Y'all don't even know what that means.

It means the Lord who fights for me, the man of war, the God who battles, the Bible calls him a man of war.

Exodus, Exodus calls him a man of war. He's one who fights for you.

So he's crying out, Jesus, son of David, Jesus, the Messiah, Jesus, the one who saves.

If you understand something about the book of Mark, right, Mark maybe want to, I think it's my favorite gospel.

Because Mark didn't play any games. The way he wrote was completely different from everyone else.

When Mark wrote his particular book, here's how Mark wrote it. Mark wrote it with the intentions for it to be quick pace.

He uses the word immediately 41 times. It's only used about 20 other times in the whole New Testament.

But he writes it 41 times in this book. Why? Because he's talking about Jesus moved from here to there, miracle here.

Because he only has three and a half years to fulfill his assignment.

Remember, he started at 30 years old. He was going to die at 33 and a half.

This was just the last few months of Jesus' life that's talked about in this story.

So Jesus realized I only have a few months to go.

And so when Mark talks about Jesus and his ministry, he's talking about a fast pace moving from here.

From Galilee all the way to Jerusalem, then back to Galilee, then here, then there.

And Jesus is moving so fast and every miracle saying immediately fast, fast, fast, fast pace, fast movement, fast pace.

But you know, something happens in that moment.

Even though Jesus is going through this place, Jericho for the last time.

And he's moving with some speed because he only has just a few months left to die.

This man's praise stops Jesus in the tracks.

Your praise has your ability to stop God.

Your praise has your ability to get heaven's attention.

Your cry has your ability to say someone just cried out to me. That was different.

Someone just praised me. That was different than just, oh, thank you, Lord.

This person's desperate. This person's hungry. This person's longing.

And the Bible says as soon as that happened, Jesus stopped.

And he goes, call that man to me. And the Bible says all the people who were criticizing him, telling him to be quiet, be of good cheer.

Isn't it so funny that there's people they won't celebrate you until the world starts celebrating you?

Oh, I love this. There are people who are your friends who it isn't until someone on the outside starts talking about how good you are.

They're like, why knew him since I was 12? You knew me, but you don't know me.

Be of good cheer. The Master's calling you. So what does the Bible say?

The first thing that he does is that the Bible says he rises up.

He was literally laying on the floor. But as soon as he heard the Master, the Bible says he got up.

He rose up. Some of you have been down and it's time to get up.

You've let the devil knock you down. It's time to get up.

Right now, there's an eight count, one, two. And before it reaches 10, the Holy Spirit is about to give you the strength to get up.

To get out of that messy situation. You know how you can get about in that situation? Just delete her number.

Ooh, I love this. You know how you can get about in that messy situation?

Just do what God told you to do the first time.

You know how you can get out of that messy situation? Obey God's voice.

Listen when he speaks. You know the way to get up out of your situation? Stop lying.

Be honest about where you are in life. Because the Holy Spirit just wants honesty.

David, when he was repenting, you know what his prayer of repentance? Lord, I want truth in the inward parts.

I just don't want to say things that sound right. I want to be honest.

I don't want to be in front of church people acting like, yeah. But on the inside is dead men's bones.

There's no connection to God. There's no connection to spiritual things. There's no connection to anything that has to do with the things of the spirit.

Because I'm dead on the inside. No. I want to be alive on the outside and on the inside.

I want so much joy. It starts bubbling over in my life.

Where everyone around me is like, I'm just so happy when I'm around you. Yeah. It's called the spirit of joy.

I've got the garments of heaviness off and I put the garments of praise and the garments of joy on. Come on somebody.

Here's what the Bible says. I'm almost done. Can you give me two more minutes?

So here's what the scripture says. It says this man rises up and then he does a second thing.

And this is the part where it's really deep. It says he takes his garment.

This garment was a garment given by every person in the society who was blind, who was lame, who had a specific issue.

And it helped you identify the person by their issue.

Not by who they really were, not by their true identity, but by their issue.

And some of you you've identified yourself by your issue.

Man, I'm just broke. I won't be identified by my issue.

Man, I, you know, I got cancer and you know, nope, I'm not being identified by that.

By his stripes, I am healed. I won't be identified.

So he has this issue and he's being identified by the issue and he's wearing this garment.

Discardment that signifies he's blind.

And as soon as Jesus calls him, he didn't even get his miracle yet.

The fact that Jesus called me is enough for me to know that my miracle is about to happen.

The fact that Jesus saved you is enough to know that every other thing that comes with the sun is about to come into your life.

Every other benefit is yours, healing is yours, deliverance is yours, breakthrough is yours.

Oh, somebody better shout in here.

Throw the garment off, even before the miracle happens.

Throw the garment off, even before God turns it around.

He throws his garment off.

And Jesus goes, what do you want me to do for you?

He says, I want to receive my sight. Jesus goes, now I got one better.

He goes, be healed.

It was two different words him receiving a sight. He wanted physical sight.

Jesus gave him one even better because the Greek word that's used is a word that means healing in the soul, healing in the body, healing in the spirit, completeness.

It's so funny you asked Jesus for one thing. He's like, I do one better for you.

That's the kind of God I serve. A God who's like, you want $50? I got you $150.

But here's the part of the story that really hit me. It's where the miracle happened.

And I'm going to end on this. It happened in a place called Jericho.

I've got to go back to Joshua 6, verse 1, to understand about Jericho.

Joshua 6:1

Jericho was the first place that the children of Israel went into when God promised them a land flowing with milk and honey.

And the Bible says about Jericho, there were walls all around Jericho and it was shut up.

Nothing could come out. Nothing could come in.

Joshua gets a word from God. Walk around every day once, then on the seventh day walk around.

How many time? All right, 60 y'all know the Bible.

Seven times. And when you walk around seven times, on the seventh time, open up to Joshua chapter 6.

Joshua 6 · chapter mention

Can we go to verse 20 actually? Y'all were ready before I even said anything.

But let's go to verse 20. Here's what it says.

This was on me, not on them. Verse 20. Joshua 6, verse 20.

Joshua 6:20

Maybe I can read it.

This was a last minute change. Joshua 6, verse 20, I got it.

Joshua 6:20

It says, so the people shouted when the priest blew the trumpets.

And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet and the people shouted with a great shout.

Oh, I felt like I was transported to a black pen and cost of church for one second when you did that.

I felt like preacher. I said, hold, slap your neighbor high five. Say, we're about to shout down the walls.

And the people shouted with a mediocre shout with a mundane shout with a shout like I shouted before.

Nope, with a shout.

You know they shouted so loud, so great, so mighty that the wall fell down flat.

No, no, no, I'm not talking about it crumbled because that's how walls fall.

Walls don't fall down like a pancake.

Walls fall down like this crumbling. The shout was so great that it changed the physics.

Because they couldn't get into the city if the walls crumbled.

In order for them to get into the city, the wall had to fall.

Then the Bible says after that happened, then the people went up into the city.

And every man straight before him and they took Jericho.

This miracle in Joshua chapter 6 happened in Jericho.

Joshua 6 · chapter mention

The miracle in Mark chapter 10 happens in Jericho.

Mark 10 · chapter mention

The similarity between the miracles is it happened because there was a desperate people who said, can't just do what I always do to get the breakthrough.

There's a great shout that's going to bring me into the next season of my life.

That's going to bring me out of my crow no season and bring me into my Cairo season.

So here's what I want everyone to do. We're going to stand to our feet and we're going to give our great God a great shout.

And here's why we're doing it is because Jesus is passing by and I will not miss my time.

I will not miss my moment. I will not miss my hour. I will not miss my season.

So I want everyone to lift up your hands and on the count of three we're going to release a great shout.

I'm not going to belabor the fact but I believe this shout is going to be a shout of miracle breakthrough and every wall in your life falling down flat.

Which means when the things in your life that been holding you back fall down it won't make a mess in your life.

Oh my God I felt that in my spirit. When it falls down in your life it will not be messy.

It will fall down and you'll be able to conquer everything God called you to conquer.

So on the count of three I want you to lift up your hands and we're going to release a shout of victory.

A great shout to our great God. One, two, three shout.

Come on.

Walls of Jericho. Come down. Walls of Jericho. Come down. Walls of Jericho. Come down.

Oppositions. Come down. Fear. Come down.

Come down.

Come down.

Come down.
