  38. and some of our leaders. Come on, this is your

  39. third service as well. We only thank God for your

  40. diligence and sharing with us. Ay Man today, I gotta

  41. really love you to come on Sunday afternoons. Now, my

  42. Sunday mornings is so they start at six am. So

  43. if I come out on a Sunday afternoon, that means

  44. I love you.

  45. We give God.

  46. Praise God gave me a word, and I'm hopefully you

  47. thank you so much.

  48. That was humbly because I really I really try hard

  49. to pick up a house.

  50. Some preachers preach their best sermons when they go out

  51. sometime they preach one they preach all around the country.

  52. They preach the same thing, and I try to really.

  53. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, right,

  54. I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have said that.

  55. But you can tell when somebody has labored before God,

  56. before your house.

  57. I really think that one.

  58. Of the one of the hallmarks of somebody who carries

  59. an Apostolic gift is they always showed the house the house.

  60. They always revealed the house to the house.

  61. And not to say that it's something that you don't

  62. already know or that you hadn't already said, but they

  63. come as.

  64. A confirming voice.

  65. They come as and so hopefully what the Lord has

  66. given me today is going to continue to shift you

  67. in the siege, and that God has you in You

  68. mentioned one of the preachers messages I preached about Jesus

  69. being in the bottom of the boat, but probably the

  70. one that I'll never forget that I preached for you,

  71. because I believe God gave me that right in the

  72. season you were in. Is I got here on broken

  73. pieces that sometimes God had to break up the ship

  74. he was on because there was a Malta in your

  75. distance and you was headed somewhere else, but there was

  76. ministry at Malta. Has God have a detowards you? And

  77. you fell on the place that you should have been

  78. the whole time that blessed me. I'll never forget that moment.

  79. A man, Amen, look at somebody, just say that that's

  80. true for me too.

  81. I got here on some broken pieces.

  82. What I thought was gonna work had to be destroyed

  83. so that God can't give me what he already had

  84. for me. I took a piece of it and I

  85. floated to where I was supposed to be the whole time.

  86. What I thought would carried me helped me float. But

  87. just touching my next to you and tell him you

  88. got here. You made it, You made it. You made it.

  89. You made it. You made it, You made it, You

  90. made it, you made it. It may not have looked

  91. the way I thought it was gonna look, but I'm

  92. here and I can tell you one thing. I don't

  93. look like what I've been through because when I thought

  94. I was about to lose it all, God held it

  95. together until I got it together. Well, louse, somebody tell

  96. him I'm here now. The devil should have killed me

  97. in my last season. I'm excited about what God is

  98. about to do. Genesis one, Father, we thank you for

  99. this moment. We thank you for this time. We thank

  100. you for this occasion to give God praise and this atmosphere.

  101. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for

  102. the charge that we feel in the air. We thank

  103. you for what you're going to do and what you're

  104. going to say. Have your way now, hide me behind

  105. you so that your people may hear you, feel you

  106. see you. Don't let anything of me get in the

  107. way of you. We trust that you will speak and

  108. have recourse in this house. Make the word of God

  109. plain and make it clear. Give us simplicity of your word.

  110. Take a revelation, and make it so clear to us

  111. that we can walk out of here as doors of

  112. the Word and not just heroes.

  113. Only if he praise, we give you glory in Jesus' name.

  114. A man.

  115. Genesis one on one says this, I'm going back to

  116. the beginning. I got two verses of scripture, and we're

  117. gonna get into what God is saying. Genesis one one

  118. says in the beginning, Gone created the heaven and the

  119. earth Verse two. And the earth was without form and void,

  120. and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and

  121. the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

  122. Can I say that again?

  123. And the Spirit of God let me go back, and

  124. the earth with its out form. That means what was

  125. supposed to be seen was not yet seen. It was void,

  126. It was dark upon the face of the deep, and

  127. the spirit of the God of God moved upon the

  128. face of the waters. I need you to say this,

  129. and you may not know exactly where I'm going, but

  130. I need you to prophes out to your neighbor and

  131. tell them, neighbor, the Spirit of God is moving.

  132. Tell somebody the Spirit of God is moving.

  133. I don't want to give away my message, but tell him, neighbor,

  134. don't stay where you are when the spirit is moving.

  135. You're gonna get it when you get to the car.

  136. Don't stay stubbed when the spirit is moving. Don't get

  137. so comfortable when the spirit is moving.

  138. Tell her.

  139. I come to decree and declare to the atmosphere that

  140. there's about to be a move in the spirit that's

  141. gonna require you to move.

  142. God.

  143. I needs you all to hear me in his house.

  144. Tell somebody next to you and tell her. What God

  145. is about to do in your life. Gonna require some

  146. moving on your part. It's gonna require a shift. It's

  147. gonna require a change. It's gonna require you being shaken

  148. up from the things you as used to. But whatever

  149. it takes, you need to know the Spirit of God

  150. is moving. Give God praise on your way to your seat.

  151. He is moving. He is moving, y'all. All right, you're

  152. gonna let me beat me tonight. The Spirit of God

  153. is moving. I've come to establish something because I've been

  154. saying this for the last three four months. I've been

  155. saying this since an assignment I had at Grace Gathering

  156. gathering from my good friend Apostle Sammy Smith. You know,

  157. God has is shaking up something and the Kingdom of

  158. God is getting ready for a seismic shift. The Kingdom

  159. of God is getting ready for a seismic shift. If

  160. you didn't notice by now, God is taking down and

  161. he's replacing. He is shifting the guard. He is, he is,

  162. he is doing something amazing. See, the church didn't learn

  163. during COVID, and so he has to do another shift.

  164. I ain't gonna get under that. But we tried to

  165. come in the same way that we went out. We

  166. didn't get the memo. That was the whole purpose is

  167. He was preparing us and cleansing us from something so

  168. that we can get back to our altars to figure

  169. out where is he? Because there were years we were

  170. doing church, but God had already moved, He had already shifted,

  171. and we were trying to hold on to something because

  172. it's how it's always been. But God was getting us

  173. ready for what He's about to do. I don't know

  174. about you. I really appreciate our history, and I appreciate

  175. all the miracles and the things that God has done.

  176. But I need about twenty people who say, past I'm

  177. with you, I'm ready to see what God is about

  178. to do.

  179. And I've been saying this and I'll continue to.

  180. Say it that sometimes God has to work on us

  181. before he ever drops us into what He's already prepared

  182. for us.

  183. God don't really need you to develop your gift.

  184. He wants you to develop the gift carrier, because the

  185. gift will drop when the carrier is ready to handle

  186. the weight. And a lot of times we've been developing people,

  187. trying to make them perfect their gift, but we've been

  188. ignoring their character.

  189. And that's what we got.

  190. While we got a lot of gifted people that are

  191. not secure, we got a lot of gifted people that

  192. are still drifting because for years we've been perfecting their gift,

  193. not understanding that God can give you a gift. And

  194. the one day he told Ma, he told Joshua, what

  195. was on Moses, I'm gonna put on you today. It

  196. took it took Moses forty years to get it, but

  197. Joshua stood up under it in one day. Why because

  198. he was built big enough to handle it. In the spirit,

  199. God is getting ready to move and shift in the Kingdom.

  200. He's gonna do it on your back. He's gonna do

  201. it with your hands and your feet. He's gonna do

  202. it with your mouth. He's gonna do it when you

  203. open your mouth. The Kingdom is gonna be advanced because

  204. he has some glory carriers he can trust. Are y'all

  205. still here, So it's time for you to get comfortable

  206. being abnormal because what God is doing in the Kingdom

  207. don't fit our religious system. And if you don't deal

  208. with your religious mind. You're gonna miss this shift in

  209. the kingdom. Okay, I'm already in trouble. It's all right.

  210. But we see in the text what God does when

  211. he is ready to do something. When God is ready

  212. to do something, he positions the spirit to move when

  213. God is ready to do it.

  214. Can I say it like this? The Spirit of.

  215. God is his muscle, the Son of God, which is

  216. his Word of God.

  217. It is the script of what God has in his mind.

  218. But when God is ready to move and move in

  219. his authority, his spirit gets into position. It hovers because

  220. God the Father is ready to do something. And so

  221. the Spirit of God anticipates what God wants to do.

  222. And so when there was void, when the earth was dark,

  223. the Bible says God had a plan in mind, and

  224. the spirit hovered waiting for its instruction. He positions the

  225. spirit to move. He causes him to hover or it's

  226. the word to broad That word broad b rd or

  227. to brood. It means to hover, means to remain watch

  228. this in one place, waiting for instruction. It means to

  229. anticipate what's going to be said next. I'm getting ahead

  230. of myself, but I want to put this out now,

  231. and I may repeat it later. But God sometimes puts

  232. you in a position where he sets the spirit to

  233. broad over you or to brood over you, waiting to

  234. see what you're gonna say next. Could it be that

  235. the spirit is waiting to do whatever you tell him

  236. to do, but you ain't told him to do nothing.

  237. In a while.

  238. He hovers, he remains, he broods or broad's. He thinks

  239. that means that word to brood means the thing deeply

  240. in contemplation. While he hovers watch this. He is impactful.

  241. He is he is waiting. He is getting the situation

  242. straight for God to say what he wants to say,

  243. so that he can bring about what's in the mind

  244. of God. He stays over something until he chooses to

  245. move on him being God, the spirit stays over something

  246. until God chooses to move, having completed his inspection or implementation.

  247. So God sometimes will cause the spirit to hover to inspect,

  248. and then he'll cause spirit to hover to implement. Y'all

  249. gonna walk with me. I'm going somewhere. The spirit of

  250. God moves. Somebody said that with me. The Spirit of

  251. God is a moving spirit.

  252. All the time.

  253. He keeps moving across the face of the earth. He

  254. brings light into darkness. Wherever he goes, he moves that way.

  255. In Creator.

  256. He moved that way rather in creating the earth, and

  257. he didn't stop moving that way after the earth was created,

  258. because He is constantly renewing the faith the face of

  259. the earth. That's what Paul said.

  260. I'm being renewed day by day.

  261. Come on, there, there's something falling off of me day

  262. by day because the spirit is still moving in me

  263. day by day.

  264. Y'all still with me.

  265. He moves along with the hearts of those which are

  266. on the earth.

  267. He is a moving spirit.

  268. You gotta be careful where you're trying to serve a

  269. moving spirit and you stuck in where you are. You

  270. gotta be careful when God is always moving but you

  271. hate movement, you gotta be careful. Come on, somebody that

  272. I learned a long time ago. Come on, you can't

  273. keep milk in the frigerator and not move it. It'll

  274. spoil on you. It'll spoil. I learned something, So my

  275. church heart me say this. I learned something in college.

  276. Milk can stay amen passes expiration date if you'll just

  277. open the frigerator and shake it. Every day, because what

  278. causes it to spoil is it'll start to ferment because

  279. it ain't moved in a while. Sometimes God will keep

  280. you active by just shifting you and moving you because

  281. you've been He don't want you to ferment because you've

  282. been stuck too long. You ain't seen nothing fresh in

  283. a while. You ain't seen nothing. Ain'men new in a while.

  284. You ain't seen nothing, and you're tired of the same

  285. over and over, Amen, the same thing we're doing. How

  286. many of you I'm preaching to you today? You're ready

  287. for God to do something new. You know you tied

  288. to just church as usual. You try to just singing

  289. and dancing and shouting Hallelujah. I come to let you

  290. know the Spirit is hovering. The spirit is hovering because

  291. He's about to do a move of God in this

  292. dispensation that we've never seen. There's about to be an

  293. outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Come on, somebody in which

  294. the world has never seen before. You thought of Zusa

  295. Street was something. God is about to pour out his

  296. spirit in this season. But he's not doing based on

  297. Amen the structure of the church. He's doing it based

  298. on the mind of God and he's doing it based

  299. I didn't. I meant to say what I said, because

  300. sometimes the church can operate when God has already gone

  301. another direction. Kingdom can be shifting, but the church is

  302. still fighting the state of same. One of the things

  303. I love about Samson is this Samson when he slaughts

  304. us killed all of those Philistine's with that jawbone, the

  305. jawbone of an Ox. One of the things that's so

  306. amazing about that whole story is that he used he

  307. he he used something that he had in his hand

  308. to get the victory. But right women is over. He

  309. threw the jawbone to the side and kept moving. That's

  310. very significant because in church we would have put the

  311. jawbone in the hymn book, We're to put it on display.

  312. We would have said, if we want to kill Philistines,

  313. you better use this this jaw bone. With what Sampson's saying,

  314. he used what I had in my hand. The power

  315. was never in the jawbone. The power came because the

  316. Holy Spirit came upon me. I need y'all to hear me,

  317. and he used whatever's in his hand. Hey man, he

  318. recognized I don't need what's in my hand. I can

  319. move on with God and throw away the instrument he used,

  320. because it was never about the thing. It was never

  321. about the method, It was never about what he chose

  322. to do in that season. When I need him again,

  323. he gonna come on me afresh and he gonna do

  324. something different. And so I don't need to take a

  325. jaw bone to get his presence. If I take him,

  326. he'll use whatever's in my hand. And I'm telling you,

  327. God is getting ready. He's trying to get us to

  328. let go because our next is now. I've been saying

  329. this whenever God's speaking about next, He's always talking about now.

  330. The reason why he's speaking next is not because it's coming,

  331. is because you won't even grab it until you realize

  332. there's something different than what you're holding. And God is

  333. getting you ready for what's here. That's why to the prophet,

  334. he says he's about to do a new thing, can't

  335. you perceive it because it's already happening, even though you

  336. hadn't seen it yet, It's already started. And the reason

  337. why you hadn't seen it is because you won't release

  338. what you've been holding. And I'm telling you right now, God,

  339. it's moving and he wants his church to move with him.

  340. He's a moving spirit. Somebody say, a moving spirit. Watch this.

  341. In church, we often hear terms that speak to a

  342. moving spirit. Okay, let me give you some church trivia.

  343. For those of you who grew up in church, we

  344. say stuff.

  345. Like God moved in here today, he moved in here today,

  346. or I just feel in my spirit God is about

  347. to move.

  348. Y'all heard that? One? Y'all heard of? Okay, let me

  349. give you one.

  350. Oh, what a.

  351. Powerful move of God we had in here today?

  352. Are y'all listening to me?

  353. The thought of a move of God certainly sounds exciting

  354. at first, until we begin to think about what that

  355. might mean for us. What if God requires change to

  356. our rhythms and our routines, because the reality is this,

  357. What God is inviting you to is to rethink where

  358. and how you spend.

  359. Your Come on, Oh, let me say it this way.

  360. What if God, when we experience a move of God,

  361. is inviting you or demanding you to rethink how you

  362. spend your time, how you spend your resources, and how

  363. you look at your affections.

  364. Are we ready for a move of God?

  365. If the move of God requires us to shift into

  366. something we know nothing about.

  367. Are we ready for a move of God?

  368. If the move of God will have us to rethink

  369. how we see connection, rethink how we see church, wethink

  370. how we see kingdom, minded work, rethink how we see

  371. marketplace ministry. What if a move of God required you

  372. to move? Because we throw that word loosely, I want

  373. a move of God God, but we stay we fight

  374. the state the same way. Can I release to you

  375. tonight you can't have a move and stay still at

  376. the same time.

  377. Can I say a move of God is just that

  378. a move?

  379. You can't stay put and move at the same time.

  380. That word move means to go in a specified direction

  381. or manner. It means to change positions. It means to

  382. change a change of a place, a change of position,

  383. or state of mind. And I'm telling you, if you

  384. are crying for a move of God, you gotta make

  385. sure that your spirit is mobile enough to go where

  386. He is.

  387. Oh my Lord.

  388. What if God can come up and change the way

  389. we have church, change our Sunday meetings, change the days

  390. we have Bible study. Hey man, remove Bible study and

  391. put Bible study.

  392. Back in the homes.

  393. What if he tells us instead of coming on Sunday

  394. and giving times, go out to the community and give

  395. your ties to this apartment complex and come on somebody.

  396. Oh yeah, y'all getting tight. Now, what if he tells

  397. you the move of God says, for the next month,

  398. I don't want y'all to meet in the church, but

  399. for the next month, I want you to meet at

  400. one of the community centers and invite those people around.

  401. Are we really ready for a move of God?

  402. Because when I'm ready for a move of God, there's

  403. something in my spirit to say, God, whatever you want

  404. from me in this season. I'm not tied to a

  405. move away. I'm not tied to a religious structure. I'm

  406. not tied to a amen, a routine and a rhythm.

  407. You can change my rhythm. You can get me off

  408. of my amen, my rhythms and my structures and what

  409. I want to do.

  410. I want to be where you are. Period. Moses said

  411. it like this.

  412. He says, God, even if you're gonna give us a promise,

  413. if you ain't going, I don't want it. And I'm

  414. telling you right now, you've got some people in the

  415. church would take his promise even if they don't have

  416. his spirit, because it's never been about God.

  417. But we've used ministry to advance our name.

  418. I'm telling you right now, God said I'll make your

  419. name great. He didn't say nothing about your title.

  420. An apostle.

  421. I'm telling you right now, I'm I'm about to I'm

  422. about to really get Anglo saxon when I say this,

  423. I'm about to drop all titles. Just call me Bradley

  424. a Taylor. Y'all don't want to hear from me right here.

  425. You ain't gotta call me passor. If you call me passor,

  426. that means you see me that way. If you call

  427. me apostle, that means that's an apostolic thing that I did,

  428. that you saw.

  429. But I'm not gonna get nervous because nobody.

  430. Come on, somebody, because the reality is in this season,

  431. you can't allow structure to box you in. Look at

  432. somebody and tell him I'm too big for the box.

  433. Come on, somebody. I'm more than a pastor. I'm more

  434. than an apostle. I'm more than a prophet. I'm more

  435. than a teacher. I'm a businessman.

  436. I'm a father.

  437. I need y'all to hear me. I'm a community leader.

  438. I'm a fought leader. I need y'all to hear me.

  439. I'm a kingdom voice. You can't box me in with

  440. a titil anyway. And when God is trying to get

  441. us to the place where we can say God to

  442. use me. I don't need somebody's hand clap make me

  443. feel better about who I am. But I know who

  444. I am and God there's some left handed warriors that

  445. God is about to call to the forefront. I don't

  446. care that you came from the house of Benjamin. God's

  447. gonna have need of your left hand. Come here, e hood,

  448. where are you. There's about to be a season where

  449. He's gonna need what he's been using. Oh my God,

  450. he's been building you for this moment. He's been building

  451. you for this time. I'm getting ahead of myself. But

  452. look at somebody and tell them God for you, because

  453. He was gonna use you in the last day, because

  454. you are the remnant of God. I came to put

  455. on the remnant tonight that God is about to call

  456. you from the backside.

  457. He's about to make room for your gift to You.

  458. Don't need a title because you don't need to be introduced,

  459. but your assignment is about to propel you and bring

  460. you to the front of the line. He's about to

  461. move things out of your way because the assignment has

  462. need of you touching my next thing and tell him

  463. you about to be next. Not yet, I gotta get somewhere.

  464. But I've come to let you know tonight. My first

  465. point is this, when the spirit moves, there will be impact.

  466. That will be impact. Acts two and three says the

  467. spirit moved here. It is in the upper room. The

  468. spirit moved among them with fire and they received power.

  469. John five and three, somebody said, moving spirit. And John

  470. five and three, you know at the pool of but

  471. there's the and these lay a great multitude of impotent

  472. folk of blind halt, wildered, waiting for the moving of

  473. the water. Lord needs you all to hear me waiting

  474. on the moving of the water. One translation says like this,

  475. the troubling of the water. Can I tell you God

  476. can't really move unless say, there's a little bit of trouble.

  477. Oh Lord, I told you you show the house of

  478. the house. And so the reality is this, God says,

  479. I gotta let you know that just because you sense

  480. a little turbulence, it don't mean I ain't in it

  481. because I can't even move among you unless I move

  482. some stuff around you. I can't if I can't interrupt

  483. the flow. That's why the Bible says it was a

  484. troubling in the water. In other words, that word trouble,

  485. and that word trouble in the water means this. It

  486. means to go, it gets the grain. That means there's

  487. a current that's going one way. But the spirit of

  488. the Lord that's gonna come, he's gotta shift the current.

  489. He's got led to everybody know it's about to be

  490. a change in this atmosphere because the way it was

  491. moving it just turned. Oh my God, that's not a

  492. place to get nervous. That's a place to get excited.

  493. When God starts troubling some water, when God start mixing

  494. some stuff up, When start God start getting into some

  495. routines and interrupting some patterns, it's not because God is finished.

  496. It's because God is about to move.

  497. He's shifting some things, he's working some things, he's blessing

  498. some things.

  499. Second Peter says this if second Peter won.

  500. And twenty, but understand this first of all, that no

  501. prophecy of scripture is a matter of or comes from

  502. one's own personal interpretation. For no prophecy was ever made

  503. by an act of human will, but it.

  504. Was because men. It was by men.

  505. Watch this moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke

  506. from God. If God can't move you, he can't speak

  507. through you.

  508. Lord. I need y'all to hear me.

  509. If God wants to come and say something fresh, he

  510. can't do it through can't do it through a voice

  511. that won't shift with him. Oh my God, you can't

  512. take the people to another place that you won't go yourself.

  513. You can't shift to another dispensation when you're still looking

  514. for God to come the same way, Holly.

  515. And sometimes when you're waiting on God.

  516. To shift all of us, he'll shift you first and

  517. leave you out there by yourself. Come on, somebody, but

  518. you got to stand flat footed and say God told

  519. me to do it, even if y'all ain't out here

  520. with me. God told me to do it. Even if

  521. you don't see what I see. God told me to

  522. do it. And I can't get back on the boat

  523. with y'all. Y'all got to get the faith to come

  524. out here on the water with me. A lot of

  525. people always talk about Peter losing faith when he started

  526. to sink, but nobody want to talk about he was

  527. the only one to get out the boat.

  528. God didn't just call Peter out.

  529. Matter of fact, Peter Amen was the one that said,

  530. if it be you bid me to come in other

  531. words or other ones was ducking and hiding and he

  532. was trying to figure out who it was, and all

  533. he needed was a word. And I preached this over

  534. and over. Peter didn't walk on the water. He walked

  535. on the word because he said, if it's you bid

  536. me to come in other words, I gotta have something

  537. to stand on and the spirit, Oh Lord, And when

  538. Jesus spoke the word come, it was a flotation of

  539. device for him to stand on. And I'm talking to

  540. some of you who feel like you out there by yourself. Baby,

  541. The reason why you still floating is because you got

  542. a word to stand on somebody next to you and

  543. tell him when everything else falls, I still got a word.

  544. And as long as I got a word, I got

  545. enough to get me through this storm. I got enough

  546. to get me through this situation. I got enough to

  547. get me what I need until God shows up. Because

  548. God gave you a word, and sometimes it's going to

  549. pull you out.

  550. By yourself sometimes.

  551. And I'm being partial, but but I just talked to

  552. my dad in the spirit, and now I have such

  553. an understanding and appreciation of his resolve because he was

  554. walking in the Apostolic in the sixties when nobody not

  555. only was it popular, nobody even.

  556. Know what he was doing.

  557. He said, but I can't come down, I can't move

  558. because this is where God is taking the church.

  559. Lorda needs you all to hear me in his house.

  560. And so now now, even in my own skin, come on.

  561. Some call me a renegador, some call me kind of

  562. out the box, and some call me come on, amen,

  563. the one that they're scared to say whatever they feel.

  564. And I know what it feels like to hear God.

  565. And seemingly be the only one who hurt them. What

  566. you're gonna do when you know God is moving, but

  567. you're the only one who feels the shift.

  568. I'm speaking to the next generation.

  569. I'm telling you author generation of now, it ain't about age,

  570. it ain't about dispensation.

  571. I mean, it's about what God is about to do.

  572. And if you are ready to move and God say move,

  573. let me tell you it is not going to be

  574. a crowded move, but you will be more effective.

  575. Come here, get in and help me. Hey man, how

  576. to teach me how to serve God with less? He says.

  577. The ones you have now are too many because half

  578. of them don't really want to do it no way.

  579. So sometimes God has to reduce you to make you

  580. more effective. You need to look at somebody for the

  581. third time and say, I'm about to.

  582. Get more done with less weight.

  583. When you catch on this shift, he gonna take thirty

  584. of you and do more than a church what a

  585. thousand can do. Because what's happened is too many people

  586. have snatched His glory and God is setting you in

  587. a place where nobody can get credit. Your tithes didn't

  588. get it done, your offering didn't get it done. Your

  589. job couldn't get you this, your education couldn't take it.

  590. The only way you got where you got to is

  591. what somebody gonna have the testimony if it had not been.

  592. For the Lord.

  593. I know we say it in the testimony service, but

  594. you're gonna have a real revelation. If it had not

  595. been for the Lord who was on my side, I

  596. don't know where I would be. I need y'all to

  597. hear me in here some of you. God's gonna give

  598. you a Sarah transition. He's gonna make you laugh, not

  599. laugh at it, but laugh because of it. Because the

  600. first time she laughed, she laughed in disbelief, in unbelief.

  601. The second time she laughed, she laughed in disbelief. I

  602. can't believe he did all this. Are y'all still walking

  603. with me?

  604. If you experience the moving spirit, watch this, there will

  605. be impact. I've come to speak confidence in a scary move.

  606. I come to speak confidence in an unconventional shift. I

  607. come to breathe on a vision God gave, even though

  608. it goes against how it's always been done. I'm coming

  609. to give life to a baby that religion is trying

  610. to kill. And I've come to give kingdom life to

  611. what God is shifting to. He didn't call you to

  612. play in the margins and the boundary. He told you

  613. to go all the way to what he wants you

  614. to do. Come on, somebody. He didn't tell you to

  615. put a toe in it. He saying, trust me in

  616. the whole thing. I needs y'all to hear me, and

  617. God is speaking to a vision that's in this house,

  618. that's in your belly, and it ain't just the pastor,

  619. and it ain't.

  620. Just the house. Come on, somebody, but some of you.

  621. God is calling and challenging you to do something that

  622. you've never seen before. And you're nervous because you've never

  623. got the blueprint, not giving you the blueprint, because you

  624. are the blueprint.

  625. You're the first one to do it.

  626. You're the first one to see it, and you waiting

  627. for everybody else to see what God has placed in

  628. your spirit.

  629. But God is saying, you gotta trust what I'm.

  630. Shifting you to because I'm gonna pull many behind you,

  631. but nobody can come intil you're bold enough to go.

  632. Nobody did it this way, but God gave it to

  633. you first.

  634. Don't wait ten years from now and watch everybody do

  635. what you should have started. Don't don't don't wait five

  636. years from now when your when your vision is making

  637. somebody millions, because not only is God shifting the church,

  638. but God is putting kingdom in the marketplace. And the

  639. next move that's gonna shift kingdom ain't gonna come from

  640. the church. Goal It's gonna come from the business person.

  641. God's gonna have somebody stop by your church and give

  642. you a two hundred thousand dollars check and they never

  643. met you before because there's something God told them about

  644. your vision.

  645. Oh y'all don't like me right up in here, holl

  646. he lujah.

  647. Instead of trying to make all preachers and prophets, how

  648. about praying over somebody to be the next surgeon.

  649. I need y'all to hear me in this place. Oh,

  650. I need y'all to hear me.

  651. Pray over somebody and anoint their hands so they can

  652. start ten businesses.

  653. So that everything you feel in your spirit they can finance.

  654. So y'all don't want to hear this kind of shift,

  655. Hey man, Come on, somebody, Hey man, how about lay

  656. hands on the next bank president while we ain't never

  657. got to worry about no funding because we got back,

  658. Oh Lord high mercy, because the whole executive team is

  659. a part of our ministry. Were trying to box him

  660. into a local assembly, and he's trying to get us

  661. to take the kingdom that's inside of us and to

  662. reach the world. He's shifted to the streets and we

  663. stuck in the church. He's trying to he's trying to

  664. get into media. He's trying to get into these other influences.

  665. He's trying to get into the financial room.

  666. He's trying to.

  667. Get into politics, and we're saying that ain't God. What

  668. if he had What if we had a president that

  669. spoke in tones, y'all, I'm trying to stretch it now,

  670. that might be too much for y'all. What if we

  671. had a president that laid hands on his whole cabinet

  672. and right in the inauguration about ten of them fell

  673. out in the spirit. What if we had a president

  674. who had a bishop's counsel in an apostolic circle before

  675. he ever went into the House of Representatives, so they

  676. didn't even he didn't even have an agenda until it

  677. got approved by the leaders of the I need y'all

  678. to hear me in his house.

  679. But what I'm saying is God, it's trying.

  680. To expand what he wants to do, and we're trying

  681. to shut down this next move because it ain't comfortable.

  682. I need you to understand. This is my second point,

  683. and I'm moving. The spirit is moving.

  684. Watch this.

  685. Where's it moving in the direction of purpose? It's not

  686. moving in the direction of tradition. It's moving in the

  687. direction of purpose.

  688. Watch this.

  689. It moves in the direction of the word. Watch it

  690. why because it moves to perform the word. It moves

  691. to lead you to purpose. And I'm telling you right now,

  692. I don't care what life throws at you.

  693. I don't care what life threw at you.

  694. I don't care how far the attacks drove you from

  695. what and who you.

  696. Were called to be and what you were called to do.

  697. I'm telling you.

  698. The Spirit is moving you back to the direction of purpose.

  699. That's why He wouldn't let you get too far out there,

  700. because you weren't born to do that.

  701. I don't care how much you like it. You wasn't

  702. born to do it.

  703. And a lot of us amen get confused with what

  704. can make money and what is purpose for me? You

  705. might be able to be successful at it, but He

  706. didn't put you here to do it. And the Spirit

  707. has to make sure that the word comes to pass.

  708. And so if God spoke a word over your life,

  709. the spirit will hover until you go into the direction

  710. of the word. He won't let you do your own thing.

  711. You are not on your time, You on God's time.

  712. You belonged to the kingdom before you were ever in

  713. your mother's womb. You was with God and he needed

  714. you for an assignment. And He didn't send you here

  715. for you to get here and get rogue. He sent

  716. you here to accomplish what you've been set to do.

  717. And I've come to let somebody know your time of

  718. doing what you wanna do has just been up, and

  719. God is now shifting you into the.

  720. Direction of your purpose.

  721. This next season is not gonna be about what you

  722. wanna do. It's about what you've been assigned to get done.

  723. I'm an assignment today because God said I'm shifting some

  724. new gifts. Are you listening? Your purpose will keep calling

  725. you back. That's why God keep waking you up. That's

  726. why what you thought was gonna work never works. That's

  727. why you've been interrupted by different things. You put together

  728. a great plan, but it was never purpose. I don't care.

  729. The Bible says man can put together all types of plans,

  730. but the purpose of the Lord come on, it will

  731. prevent every time. And I need you to understand God

  732. has not changed his mind about you, and he's not

  733. gonna give up on you, and he's not gonna leave

  734. you alone. Because you was assigned for this and a

  735. lot of us apostle, we lost too much time because

  736. people did not desern our gift and they raised us

  737. to fit a mold that we was never supposed to

  738. fit in. And we wasted fifteen years of our life

  739. trying to make us be something that God never intended

  740. us to be. And now we gotta play ketch up

  741. because the church couldn't look at us.

  742. And they were not securing.

  743. Themselves enough to say, you gotta do something different than

  744. I did passions. We wasn't secure and saying I'm raising

  745. you to hear God, not hear me.

  746. No, it's my.

  747. Responsibility to get your relationship with God right, not to

  748. emulate your leader. Lord needs you all to hear me.

  749. You need to learn from me that you don't need

  750. to copy me. I'm not looking for a carbon copy.

  751. You need to hear God for you like I heard

  752. God for me. Because God don't want to redo it.

  753. I just finished. He want to be able to call

  754. you and you say, here, my Lord, your servant, listen.

  755. And we're just raising up people that have rehearsed how

  756. to do ministry over and over again.

  757. And we got five year old preachers preaching like.

  758. The fifty year old preachers instead of teaching a five

  759. year old person to get on your face and learn

  760. how to pray, and learn how to hear God's voice

  761. and get the confidence in your God that whatever he

  762. tells you to do, you shift when God moves. So

  763. now we got full grown people who know God but

  764. don't know their place, because He gave us gifts.

  765. To bring us all to maturity. You may not be in.

  766. The office of a prophet, but your gift is prophetic

  767. and you need to know that why you see things

  768. and why you dream and why you have intuition. And

  769. if you around a ministry who's shutting down the prophetic

  770. part of your gift, your baby is gonna suffocate because

  771. you need to round be around some atmospheres that's gonna

  772. give you life. You might not be an apostle in

  773. the gift, but your gift is tied to the apostolic oil.

  774. What does that mean? That means you're a trail blazer.

  775. That means you ain't scared to be the first. That

  776. means you ain't scared to do something nobody else did.

  777. And you gotta be comfortable being appo stolent without the title.

  778. But if I preached against prophets and apostles. I don't

  779. know how to birth one. I don't know how to

  780. speak to that gift because I don't even think it exists.

  781. That was a devil. I don't even teach you how

  782. to be an evangelist. I'm trying to raise you to

  783. be me, and I need you to understand. What we've

  784. done is that we have developed the culture that pricks

  785. against the move of God. And so we've made people

  786. outcasts because they didn't see it the way you saw it.

  787. But I've come to get you tonight. God's about to

  788. use you in this next move. I need you to

  789. hear me tonight. Y'all, all right, y'all, all right, hear me.

  790. Your purpose is gonna keep calling you. It's gonna keep

  791. calling you. Can I tell you that God ain't got

  792. nothing but time. Promise you he can outlive you, and

  793. he'll call your son to get done what you wouldn't do.

  794. I promise you he got time. You can't wait God out.

  795. Come on, somebody, you can't wait them out. I promise

  796. you he got time.

  797. Listen to me.

  798. I don't care what seasons. I'm coming to get somebody

  799. who need to heal. I don't care what seasons you

  800. pass through. I don't care what thoughts you entertained. I

  801. don't care what your mindset is or was that you

  802. had to find yourself.

  803. In in the season of your life.

  804. I've come to tell you tonight, if nobody else will

  805. tell you, your purpose is stronger and the Spirit of

  806. God will get through what it needs to get through

  807. to pull you back into.

  808. The direction of your purpose.

  809. And not only that, the Spirit of God is moving

  810. not only to pull you into your direction, but it's

  811. moving on your behalf. Let me tell you something. One

  812. of the things that has that has kept me in

  813. seasons where I couldn't see what God is doing is

  814. a revelation of the realm of unseen being more real

  815. than the realm we see. Watch this the fact that

  816. Genesis one, God said, this time, let us make man

  817. after our own image. And he looked at the dark

  818. the script I just read, and there was void, and

  819. it was dark, and there was nothing there.

  820. Watch this. He was creating a world that we were

  821. living in.

  822. But that means he existed in a world that was

  823. already functioning before that world was ever created. There's a

  824. spirit realm that's way more seasoned to this natural experience

  825. that we have. And society teaches us that this is it.

  826. But I'm telling you just on well, you can't see

  827. what God is doing. There's a spirit realm that has

  828. worked over time to prepare what's next for you, and

  829. you can't get caught up because you don't see it.

  830. You gotta trust to God that's gonna reveal it in

  831. due time. When you finally see something, it doesn't mean

  832. God just made it show up. It means you finally

  833. get to the place where you can see what always

  834. been there. I need y'all to hear me it was

  835. revealed to you, but He already finished the work. Ah,

  836. I need y'all to hear me. Everything you need and

  837. God is finished. But he told, He told, Jesus told

  838. his disciples. He said, I'm going to be with the Father,

  839. but don't worry. I'm giving you the comforter. But I've

  840. downloaded him. Lord, have mercy all things pertaining to you.

  841. He can't tell you now because you can't handle it.

  842. He can't give you all a revelation of one time

  843. or you will get scared and quit walking. But he'll

  844. allow you to reveal, be revealed to moments in your

  845. life that you can handle in.

  846. The season of your life.

  847. Can I tell you there's so much ahead of you

  848. that He's wanting you to grow up spiritually so he

  849. can finally let you peek in on so you can

  850. finally see what he's been.

  851. Working on for the last ten years. God is not

  852. working on anything concerning you.

  853. He's already finished everything concerning you, and he's already given

  854. you amen, a purpose, with amen of hope and a future.

  855. He's waiting on you to get to the place where

  856. you can handle what I really want to do with you,

  857. because some of us, if he told us our real assignment,

  858. we will hide for two weeks. So he's got to

  859. give you a false destination to get you going in

  860. the right direction. He's got to make you think you're

  861. pursuing something to get you on the road to what

  862. he wants you to. I need y'all to hear me.

  863. This is too malile. I'll back off. Are y'all hearing me?

  864. Can I help somebody? It is not a matter if

  865. you will ever find your way back to what He's

  866. purposed you to do. It's a matter of a win

  867. hear me, hear me, because I don't want to get

  868. too I know you get a lot of good preaching here,

  869. and this is one of the best preachers in the country,

  870. so I know you get the preaching you need. But

  871. can I establish something? Can just can I just talk

  872. to you for a little bit? Can I just talk

  873. to you? Exodus thirteen and twenty one says and the

  874. Lord went before them by day in a pillar of

  875. a cloud and led them on the way, and by

  876. night in a pillar of.

  877. Fire, to give them light to go. By day and night.

  878. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day,

  879. you know, the pillar of the fire by night. From

  880. before the people, the Spirit was hovering in Genesis one,

  881. for God to create, God was following or hovering his people,

  882. the presence of God, the spirit of God, listened to me,

  883. was hovering the Israelites in Exodus thirteen. And I've come

  884. up related to release to you tonight that he's still hovering,

  885. and it's our season to give him something to do.

  886. That that word in Genesis four, when it says that

  887. that Adam was created in the image of God, it

  888. is not a formal fashion. It is the same likeness

  889. that says when Adam had his kids, they was created

  890. in the image of their father Adam. So if we

  891. can take that literally, why can't we take our image

  892. connected to our God literally. I'm talking about from a

  893. spiritual perspective. Why can't we say, like Jesus said, passes

  894. as as he is, so are we on this earth?

  895. What are you saying? I can't be like my daddy

  896. and not have the same characteristics of him. God couldn't

  897. just speak it, or he couldn't just think it. God

  898. had to speak it, and he had to know when

  899. he spoke it there was a spirit that was moving

  900. to perform it. And if he created the world informed

  901. his word framed his world, according to Hebrews eleven and three,

  902. and we are of him. I'm asking you this question,

  903. what world have you framed with the word that he's given?

  904. Because if he had to speak his word, even though

  905. his word already was, what do you think we have

  906. to do? Even though the word is written, it's still

  907. got to come out of your mouth. And too many

  908. of us are allowing the enemy to steal our joy

  909. because we have not released our authority. I got a

  910. question for you guys today, what are you framing with

  911. the word of God, because that in the scripture say

  912. as he is, so are we on the earth. I

  913. want to help you here number three, and we're gonna move.

  914. His most important part of my message. If the spirit moves,

  915. we have to move. We can't stay where the spirit

  916. is no longer hovering. He said he led them by

  917. cloud and by fire, But if they chose not to walk,

  918. they would have not received light, not because he didn't

  919. provide it because they stopped moving. Could it be that

  920. it got dark in your situation because he kept moving

  921. and you stay still and what was light in your

  922. path is now gone because there's too much distance between

  923. where he is and where you got stuck. You don't

  924. need God to reveal you need to catch up because

  925. if you stay close enough, you'll always have light on

  926. the subject.

  927. Can I help you?

  928. The reason why we fall and trip and flipball over

  929. furniture is not because the furniture in the way, is

  930. because we ain't got no light in the room. If

  931. you come here at night and know no lights come on,

  932. and you try to run through this church, you better

  933. be careful because you can't see the obstacles in your way.

  934. We've been praying for years to God to remove the

  935. obstacles instead of praying for God to turn the light on.

  936. I don't care how crowd of the room is.

  937. If I can navigate my way through Lord, I need

  938. y'all to hear me.

  939. And so what we've.

  940. Done subconsciously is God, give me a strategy where I'm stuck,

  941. instead of God, help me to increase my pace to

  942. keep up.

  943. You don't need a strategy if you close.

  944. We've been going to church strategies instead of going to

  945. prayer meetings. Were going to online conferences on how to

  946. build your church and grow to a thousand and a

  947. two month scheme instead of getting clear about what God

  948. has called me to do. Could it be the reason

  949. why we don't see the growth we need is we

  950. really had to embrace what we're.

  951. Supposed to be doing. Okay, let me move from that.

  952. Mean if the spirit is moving to something fresh, hear me,

  953. hear my heart, You must move with him because he

  954. is a moving spirit. Watch this, and he is in you,

  955. and he ain't gonna stop being a moving spirit just

  956. because he's in you. When God moves, watch this, our

  957. posture has to shift. I'm coming in and I'm not

  958. trying to excite you, and I need you to hear me.

  959. Posture one of the things I learned that I'm not

  960. saying it is because it is absolute. I'm saying it's

  961. because God was dealing with me. When I started to

  962. settle and who I am as an apostle. I had

  963. to slow myself down because some things you say is

  964. not only breaking things down and prepaving away, but some

  965. things you say it's got to be the weight that

  966. people spring from they move from. And so I don't

  967. need to excite you. I need you to understand what

  968. God is about to do. Y'all hearing me, if you

  969. listen to me. If God is moving, you can't move

  970. with him until you deal with your posture. My people

  971. hear me say this word all the time because it's

  972. so necessary. Our posture has to shift before our language changes,

  973. before it before our prayers change. We have to position

  974. ourselves to be open again for something fresh. A lot

  975. of times people change churches and they say they're ready

  976. for something new, but they come with the same old

  977. expectations of the church that hurt them. Your posture is

  978. a particular way of dealing with or considering something, it's

  979. an approach or an attitude.

  980. We ain't do this at my old church.

  981. That's why you ain't there, and that's why you left

  982. because it wasn't no life in your old church for

  983. the last ten years.

  984. And you ain't gonna come over here and take the

  985. life out of hours.

  986. Trying to take us back to a place where lost life.

  987. I'm not talking about. I'm talking about in California. A

  988. posture is the way you approach is something with an

  989. attitude or your attitude, and what you approach what's your

  990. attitude when you approach a new thing? Are you still

  991. comparing it to old models? Are you ready to God

  992. for God to challenge you with something that you've never

  993. seen before? One of the greatest challenges, if I could

  994. ever be when I get to heaven, if I can

  995. ever see Noah, what was it like to build something

  996. for hundreds of years, for something that nobody's ever saw.

  997. We get mad because people say one thing about us

  998. on Facebook. Imagine seventy eighty Are he crazy? He building

  999. something that could not be ignored? Watch this but also

  1000. couldn't be explained. All he had was God told me

  1001. to do it? And what do you do, because here

  1002. is the thing. After God uses him and his family

  1003. to do something fresh, he says, yes, God takes him

  1004. on that boat, he wipes everything out. Then he brings

  1005. Noah by himself to a world where there's nobody else

  1006. there for him, on a land and a system that

  1007. has been wiped away. So he doesn't he's not familiar

  1008. with anything he sees. That's why he says, the first

  1009. thing he did is when he stepped up the boat

  1010. he built God and onto because you're gonna have to

  1011. help me if you want me to.

  1012. Burst something new, because.

  1013. Everything I used to know is gone.

  1014. And us are afraid of being that vulnerable.

  1015. Because we like we like, we like the seasons that

  1016. we've built up over the years. We know church, we

  1017. know church folks, we know church rhetoric, rhetoric, we know

  1018. all other things, and that what makes us season. But

  1019. what if God takes your season self and puts you

  1020. in a new environment and says, trust me with something fresh.

  1021. So when we talk about posture and our problems, you

  1022. can play soft tim I'm coming in. We are talking

  1023. about watch this how we start. We're talking about our

  1024. intentions and how we come across it. Is the calculated

  1025. and habitual way in which we move. It is the

  1026. way we see it.

  1027. It is how we believe it. It is the way

  1028. we do it.

  1029. And what God is calling us to today is that

  1030. do I have access to your posture to change how

  1031. you see it, to change how you believe it, and

  1032. to change the way you do it. But when I

  1033. say the way you believe it, I'm not talking about

  1034. the scriptures. I'm talking about what we believe that has

  1035. nothing to do with God. Some stuff we argue about

  1036. has nothing to do with souls. Some stuff that we

  1037. get offended about has nothing to do with the spirit

  1038. of God. People leave churches because they move the communion table.

  1039. The flower too, you know it.

  1040. People get offended and call a church meeting because you

  1041. took the poor pitt trails off the chair, off the

  1042. poor pit and put them to the side. That ain't

  1043. the way my grandmama wanted it and told they about.

  1044. Help build this church.

  1045. We get offended over things that has nothing to do

  1046. with what God is doing. And I'm telling you right now,

  1047. do you trust Him enough to make you uncomfortable in

  1048. a new shift.

  1049. Because it's already happening. Can you not perceive it. I've

  1050. come to let you know and announce this. There are

  1051. some things.

  1052. About us, And I wrote this down because I want

  1053. to say it the way God showed it to me.

  1054. There are some things about us as a church. When

  1055. I say that, I say about the church universally that

  1056. God is saying it is time to move different.

  1057. I am not.

  1058. Here's the Holy His Holy Spirit told me. I am

  1059. not doing it the same way. Don't get stuck to

  1060. a way or a thing or a routine that I

  1061. have moved from. God sent me here for some of

  1062. you that's been feeling something in your.

  1063. Belly to affirm and to confirm.

  1064. Get ready for a move of God. Get ready for

  1065. things to shift. Get ready for God to do a

  1066. new thing. Watch this with new people in a new way.
