So I'm trying to push out everything I got. We

-
so we're we're, we're, we're coming on fumes. But we're
-

-
give God praise for this man of God.
-
I love you, Man, I love you. I'm so glad.
-
God connected us, amen and shifted us. He ain't gonna
-
tell you now he ain't the only one that was
-
gonna come looking for me. There was a season where
-
I was I had him on my hit list.
-

-
Here, Okay, Well give God praise for my mama's in
-
the building.
-
A co founder of our ministry. Amen. Some of us
-
are here to reach church. Come on, make some noise.
-
Certainly thank God for you hanging out out with us
-
and some of our leaders. Come on, this is your
-
third service as well. We only thank God for your
-
diligence and sharing with us. Ay Man today, I gotta
-
really love you to come on Sunday afternoons. Now, my
-
Sunday mornings is so they start at six am. So
-
if I come out on a Sunday afternoon, that means
-
I love you.
-
We give God.
-
Praise God gave me a word, and I'm hopefully you
-
thank you so much.
-
That was humbly because I really I really try hard
-
to pick up a house.
-
Some preachers preach their best sermons when they go out
-
sometime they preach one they preach all around the country.
-
They preach the same thing, and I try to really.
-
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, right,
-
I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have said that.
-
But you can tell when somebody has labored before God,
-
before your house.
-
I really think that one.
-
Of the one of the hallmarks of somebody who carries
-
an Apostolic gift is they always showed the house the house.
-
They always revealed the house to the house.
-
And not to say that it's something that you don't
-
already know or that you hadn't already said, but they
-
come as.
-
A confirming voice.
-
They come as and so hopefully what the Lord has
-
given me today is going to continue to shift you
-
in the siege, and that God has you in You
-
mentioned one of the preachers messages I preached about Jesus
-
being in the bottom of the boat, but probably the
-
one that I'll never forget that I preached for you,
-
because I believe God gave me that right in the
-
season you were in. Is I got here on broken
-
pieces that sometimes God had to break up the ship
-
he was on because there was a Malta in your
-
distance and you was headed somewhere else, but there was
-
ministry at Malta. Has God have a detowards you? And
-
you fell on the place that you should have been
-
the whole time that blessed me. I'll never forget that moment.
-
A man, Amen, look at somebody, just say that that's
-
true for me too.
-
I got here on some broken pieces.
-
What I thought was gonna work had to be destroyed
-
so that God can't give me what he already had
-
for me. I took a piece of it and I
-
floated to where I was supposed to be the whole time.
-
What I thought would carried me helped me float. But
-
just touching my next to you and tell him you
-
got here. You made it, You made it. You made it.
-
You made it. You made it, You made it, You
-
made it, you made it. It may not have looked
-
the way I thought it was gonna look, but I'm
-
here and I can tell you one thing. I don't
-
look like what I've been through because when I thought
-
I was about to lose it all, God held it
-
together until I got it together. Well, louse, somebody tell
-
him I'm here now. The devil should have killed me
-
in my last season. I'm excited about what God is
-
about to do. Genesis one, Father, we thank you for
-
this moment. We thank you for this time. We thank
-
you for this occasion to give God praise and this atmosphere.
-
We thank you for your presence. We thank you for
-
the charge that we feel in the air. We thank
-
you for what you're going to do and what you're
-
going to say. Have your way now, hide me behind
-
you so that your people may hear you, feel you
-
see you. Don't let anything of me get in the
-
way of you. We trust that you will speak and
-
have recourse in this house. Make the word of God
-
plain and make it clear. Give us simplicity of your word.
-
Take a revelation, and make it so clear to us
-
that we can walk out of here as doors of
-
the Word and not just heroes.
-
Only if he praise, we give you glory in Jesus' name.
-
A man.
-
Genesis one on one says this, I'm going back to
-
the beginning. I got two verses of scripture, and we're
-
gonna get into what God is saying. Genesis one one
-
says in the beginning, Gone created the heaven and the
-
earth Verse two. And the earth was without form and void,
-
and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and
-
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
-
Can I say that again?
-
And the Spirit of God let me go back, and
-
the earth with its out form. That means what was
-
supposed to be seen was not yet seen. It was void,
-
It was dark upon the face of the deep, and
-
the spirit of the God of God moved upon the
-
face of the waters. I need you to say this,
-
and you may not know exactly where I'm going, but
-
I need you to prophes out to your neighbor and
-
tell them, neighbor, the Spirit of God is moving.
-
Tell somebody the Spirit of God is moving.
-
I don't want to give away my message, but tell him, neighbor,
-
don't stay where you are when the spirit is moving.
-
You're gonna get it when you get to the car.
-
Don't stay stubbed when the spirit is moving. Don't get
-
so comfortable when the spirit is moving.
-
Tell her.
-
I come to decree and declare to the atmosphere that
-
there's about to be a move in the spirit that's
-
gonna require you to move.
-
God.
-
I needs you all to hear me in his house.
-
Tell somebody next to you and tell her. What God
-
is about to do in your life. Gonna require some
-
moving on your part. It's gonna require a shift. It's
-
gonna require a change. It's gonna require you being shaken
-
up from the things you as used to. But whatever
-
it takes, you need to know the Spirit of God
-
is moving. Give God praise on your way to your seat.
-
He is moving. He is moving, y'all. All right, you're
-
gonna let me beat me tonight. The Spirit of God
-
is moving. I've come to establish something because I've been
-
saying this for the last three four months. I've been
-
saying this since an assignment I had at Grace Gathering
-
gathering from my good friend Apostle Sammy Smith. You know,
-
God has is shaking up something and the Kingdom of
-
God is getting ready for a seismic shift. The Kingdom
-
of God is getting ready for a seismic shift. If
-
you didn't notice by now, God is taking down and
-
he's replacing. He is shifting the guard. He is, he is,
-
he is doing something amazing. See, the church didn't learn
-
during COVID, and so he has to do another shift.
-
I ain't gonna get under that. But we tried to
-
come in the same way that we went out. We
-
didn't get the memo. That was the whole purpose is
-
He was preparing us and cleansing us from something so
-
that we can get back to our altars to figure
-
out where is he? Because there were years we were
-
doing church, but God had already moved, He had already shifted,
-
and we were trying to hold on to something because
-
it's how it's always been. But God was getting us
-
ready for what He's about to do. I don't know
-
about you. I really appreciate our history, and I appreciate
-
all the miracles and the things that God has done.
-
But I need about twenty people who say, past I'm
-
with you, I'm ready to see what God is about
-
to do.
-
And I've been saying this and I'll continue to.
-
Say it that sometimes God has to work on us
-
before he ever drops us into what He's already prepared
-
for us.
-
God don't really need you to develop your gift.
-
He wants you to develop the gift carrier, because the
-
gift will drop when the carrier is ready to handle
-
the weight. And a lot of times we've been developing people,
-
trying to make them perfect their gift, but we've been
-
ignoring their character.
-
And that's what we got.
-
While we got a lot of gifted people that are
-
not secure, we got a lot of gifted people that
-
are still drifting because for years we've been perfecting their gift,
-
not understanding that God can give you a gift. And
-
the one day he told Ma, he told Joshua, what
-
was on Moses, I'm gonna put on you today. It
-
took it took Moses forty years to get it, but
-
Joshua stood up under it in one day. Why because
-
he was built big enough to handle it. In the spirit,
-
God is getting ready to move and shift in the Kingdom.
-
He's gonna do it on your back. He's gonna do
-
it with your hands and your feet. He's gonna do
-
it with your mouth. He's gonna do it when you
-
open your mouth. The Kingdom is gonna be advanced because
-
he has some glory carriers he can trust. Are y'all
-
still here, So it's time for you to get comfortable
-
being abnormal because what God is doing in the Kingdom
-
don't fit our religious system. And if you don't deal
-
with your religious mind. You're gonna miss this shift in
-
the kingdom. Okay, I'm already in trouble. It's all right.
-
But we see in the text what God does when
-
he is ready to do something. When God is ready
-
to do something, he positions the spirit to move when
-
God is ready to do it.
-
Can I say it like this? The Spirit of.
-
God is his muscle, the Son of God, which is
-
his Word of God.
-
It is the script of what God has in his mind.
-
But when God is ready to move and move in
-
his authority, his spirit gets into position. It hovers because
-
God the Father is ready to do something. And so
-
the Spirit of God anticipates what God wants to do.
-
And so when there was void, when the earth was dark,
-
the Bible says God had a plan in mind, and
-
the spirit hovered waiting for its instruction. He positions the
-
spirit to move. He causes him to hover or it's
-
the word to broad That word broad b rd or
-
to brood. It means to hover, means to remain watch
-
this in one place, waiting for instruction. It means to
-
anticipate what's going to be said next. I'm getting ahead
-
of myself, but I want to put this out now,
-
and I may repeat it later. But God sometimes puts
-
you in a position where he sets the spirit to
-
broad over you or to brood over you, waiting to
-
see what you're gonna say next. Could it be that
-
the spirit is waiting to do whatever you tell him
-
to do, but you ain't told him to do nothing.
-
In a while.
-
He hovers, he remains, he broods or broad's. He thinks
-
that means that word to brood means the thing deeply
-
in contemplation. While he hovers watch this. He is impactful.
-
He is he is waiting. He is getting the situation
-
straight for God to say what he wants to say,
-
so that he can bring about what's in the mind
-
of God. He stays over something until he chooses to
-
move on him being God, the spirit stays over something
-
until God chooses to move, having completed his inspection or implementation.
-
So God sometimes will cause the spirit to hover to inspect,
-
and then he'll cause spirit to hover to implement. Y'all
-
gonna walk with me. I'm going somewhere. The spirit of
-
God moves. Somebody said that with me. The Spirit of
-
God is a moving spirit.
-
All the time.
-
He keeps moving across the face of the earth. He
-
brings light into darkness. Wherever he goes, he moves that way.
-
In Creator.
-
He moved that way rather in creating the earth, and
-
he didn't stop moving that way after the earth was created,
-
because He is constantly renewing the faith the face of
-
the earth. That's what Paul said.
-
I'm being renewed day by day.
-
Come on, there, there's something falling off of me day
-
by day because the spirit is still moving in me
-
day by day.
-
Y'all still with me.
-
He moves along with the hearts of those which are
-
on the earth.
-
He is a moving spirit.
-
You gotta be careful where you're trying to serve a
-
moving spirit and you stuck in where you are. You
-
gotta be careful when God is always moving but you
-
hate movement, you gotta be careful. Come on, somebody that
-
I learned a long time ago. Come on, you can't
-
keep milk in the frigerator and not move it. It'll
-
spoil on you. It'll spoil. I learned something, So my
-
church heart me say this. I learned something in college.
-
Milk can stay amen passes expiration date if you'll just
-
open the frigerator and shake it. Every day, because what
-
causes it to spoil is it'll start to ferment because
-
it ain't moved in a while. Sometimes God will keep
-
you active by just shifting you and moving you because
-
you've been He don't want you to ferment because you've
-
been stuck too long. You ain't seen nothing fresh in
-
a while. You ain't seen nothing. Ain'men new in a while.
-
You ain't seen nothing, and you're tired of the same
-
over and over, Amen, the same thing we're doing. How
-
many of you I'm preaching to you today? You're ready
-
for God to do something new. You know you tied
-
to just church as usual. You try to just singing
-
and dancing and shouting Hallelujah. I come to let you
-
know the Spirit is hovering. The spirit is hovering because
-
He's about to do a move of God in this
-
dispensation that we've never seen. There's about to be an
-
outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Come on, somebody in which
-
the world has never seen before. You thought of Zusa
-
Street was something. God is about to pour out his
-
spirit in this season. But he's not doing based on
-
Amen the structure of the church. He's doing it based
-
on the mind of God and he's doing it based
-
I didn't. I meant to say what I said, because
-
sometimes the church can operate when God has already gone
-
another direction. Kingdom can be shifting, but the church is
-
still fighting the state of same. One of the things
-
I love about Samson is this Samson when he slaughts
-
us killed all of those Philistine's with that jawbone, the
-
jawbone of an Ox. One of the things that's so
-
amazing about that whole story is that he used he
-
he he used something that he had in his hand
-
to get the victory. But right women is over. He
-
threw the jawbone to the side and kept moving. That's
-
very significant because in church we would have put the
-
jawbone in the hymn book, We're to put it on display.
-
We would have said, if we want to kill Philistines,
-
you better use this this jaw bone. With what Sampson's saying,
-
he used what I had in my hand. The power
-
was never in the jawbone. The power came because the
-
Holy Spirit came upon me. I need y'all to hear me,
-
and he used whatever's in his hand. Hey man, he
-
recognized I don't need what's in my hand. I can
-
move on with God and throw away the instrument he used,
-
because it was never about the thing. It was never
-
about the method, It was never about what he chose
-
to do in that season. When I need him again,
-
he gonna come on me afresh and he gonna do
-
something different. And so I don't need to take a
-
jaw bone to get his presence. If I take him,
-
he'll use whatever's in my hand. And I'm telling you,
-
God is getting ready. He's trying to get us to
-
let go because our next is now. I've been saying
-
this whenever God's speaking about next, He's always talking about now.
-
The reason why he's speaking next is not because it's coming,
-
is because you won't even grab it until you realize
-
there's something different than what you're holding. And God is
-
getting you ready for what's here. That's why to the prophet,
-
he says he's about to do a new thing, can't
-
you perceive it because it's already happening, even though you
-
hadn't seen it yet, It's already started. And the reason
-
why you hadn't seen it is because you won't release
-
what you've been holding. And I'm telling you right now, God,
-
it's moving and he wants his church to move with him.
-
He's a moving spirit. Somebody say, a moving spirit. Watch this.
-
In church, we often hear terms that speak to a
-
moving spirit. Okay, let me give you some church trivia.
-
For those of you who grew up in church, we
-
say stuff.
-
Like God moved in here today, he moved in here today,
-
or I just feel in my spirit God is about
-
to move.
-
Y'all heard that? One? Y'all heard of? Okay, let me
-
give you one.
-
Oh, what a.
-
Powerful move of God we had in here today?
-
Are y'all listening to me?
-
The thought of a move of God certainly sounds exciting
-
at first, until we begin to think about what that
-
might mean for us. What if God requires change to
-
our rhythms and our routines, because the reality is this,
-
What God is inviting you to is to rethink where
-
and how you spend.
-
Your Come on, Oh, let me say it this way.
-
What if God, when we experience a move of God,
-
is inviting you or demanding you to rethink how you
-
spend your time, how you spend your resources, and how
-
you look at your affections.
-
Are we ready for a move of God?
-
If the move of God requires us to shift into
-
something we know nothing about.
-
Are we ready for a move of God?
-
If the move of God will have us to rethink
-
how we see connection, rethink how we see church, wethink
-
how we see kingdom, minded work, rethink how we see
-
marketplace ministry. What if a move of God required you
-
to move? Because we throw that word loosely, I want
-
a move of God God, but we stay we fight
-
the state the same way. Can I release to you
-
tonight you can't have a move and stay still at
-
the same time.
-
Can I say a move of God is just that
-
a move?
-
You can't stay put and move at the same time.
-
That word move means to go in a specified direction
-
or manner. It means to change positions. It means to
-
change a change of a place, a change of position,
-
or state of mind. And I'm telling you, if you
-
are crying for a move of God, you gotta make
-
sure that your spirit is mobile enough to go where
-
He is.
-
Oh my Lord.
-
What if God can come up and change the way
-
we have church, change our Sunday meetings, change the days
-
we have Bible study. Hey man, remove Bible study and
-
put Bible study.
-
Back in the homes.
-
What if he tells us instead of coming on Sunday
-
and giving times, go out to the community and give
-
your ties to this apartment complex and come on somebody.
-
Oh yeah, y'all getting tight. Now, what if he tells
-
you the move of God says, for the next month,
-
I don't want y'all to meet in the church, but
-
for the next month, I want you to meet at
-
one of the community centers and invite those people around.
-
Are we really ready for a move of God?
-
Because when I'm ready for a move of God, there's
-
something in my spirit to say, God, whatever you want
-
from me in this season. I'm not tied to a
-
move away. I'm not tied to a religious structure. I'm
-
not tied to a amen, a routine and a rhythm.
-
You can change my rhythm. You can get me off
-
of my amen, my rhythms and my structures and what
-
I want to do.
-
I want to be where you are. Period. Moses said
-
it like this.
-
He says, God, even if you're gonna give us a promise,
-
if you ain't going, I don't want it. And I'm
-
telling you right now, you've got some people in the
-
church would take his promise even if they don't have
-
his spirit, because it's never been about God.
-
But we've used ministry to advance our name.
-
I'm telling you right now, God said I'll make your
-
name great. He didn't say nothing about your title.
-
An apostle.
-
I'm telling you right now, I'm I'm about to I'm
-
about to really get Anglo saxon when I say this,
-
I'm about to drop all titles. Just call me Bradley
-
a Taylor. Y'all don't want to hear from me right here.
-
You ain't gotta call me passor. If you call me passor,
-
that means you see me that way. If you call
-
me apostle, that means that's an apostolic thing that I did,
-
that you saw.
-
But I'm not gonna get nervous because nobody.
-
Come on, somebody, because the reality is in this season,
-
you can't allow structure to box you in. Look at
-
somebody and tell him I'm too big for the box.
-
Come on, somebody. I'm more than a pastor. I'm more
-
than an apostle. I'm more than a prophet. I'm more
-
than a teacher. I'm a businessman.
-
I'm a father.
-
I need y'all to hear me. I'm a community leader.
-
I'm a fought leader. I need y'all to hear me.
-
I'm a kingdom voice. You can't box me in with
-
a titil anyway. And when God is trying to get
-
us to the place where we can say God to
-
use me. I don't need somebody's hand clap make me
-
feel better about who I am. But I know who
-
I am and God there's some left handed warriors that
-
God is about to call to the forefront. I don't
-
care that you came from the house of Benjamin. God's
-
gonna have need of your left hand. Come here, e hood,
-
where are you. There's about to be a season where
-
He's gonna need what he's been using. Oh my God,
-
he's been building you for this moment. He's been building
-
you for this time. I'm getting ahead of myself. But
-
look at somebody and tell them God for you, because
-
He was gonna use you in the last day, because
-
you are the remnant of God. I came to put
-
on the remnant tonight that God is about to call
-
you from the backside.
-
He's about to make room for your gift to You.
-
Don't need a title because you don't need to be introduced,
-
but your assignment is about to propel you and bring
-
you to the front of the line. He's about to
-
move things out of your way because the assignment has
-
need of you touching my next thing and tell him
-
you about to be next. Not yet, I gotta get somewhere.
-
But I've come to let you know tonight. My first
-
point is this, when the spirit moves, there will be impact.
-
That will be impact. Acts two and three says the
-
spirit moved here. It is in the upper room. The
-
spirit moved among them with fire and they received power.
-
John five and three, somebody said, moving spirit. And John
-
five and three, you know at the pool of but
-
there's the and these lay a great multitude of impotent
-
folk of blind halt, wildered, waiting for the moving of
-
the water. Lord needs you all to hear me waiting
-
on the moving of the water. One translation says like this,
-
the troubling of the water. Can I tell you God
-
can't really move unless say, there's a little bit of trouble.
-
Oh Lord, I told you you show the house of
-
the house. And so the reality is this, God says,
-
I gotta let you know that just because you sense
-
a little turbulence, it don't mean I ain't in it
-
because I can't even move among you unless I move
-
some stuff around you. I can't if I can't interrupt
-
the flow. That's why the Bible says it was a
-
troubling in the water. In other words, that word trouble,
-
and that word trouble in the water means this. It
-
means to go, it gets the grain. That means there's
-
a current that's going one way. But the spirit of
-
the Lord that's gonna come, he's gotta shift the current.
-
He's got led to everybody know it's about to be
-
a change in this atmosphere because the way it was
-
moving it just turned. Oh my God, that's not a
-
place to get nervous. That's a place to get excited.
-
When God starts troubling some water, when God start mixing
-
some stuff up, When start God start getting into some
-
routines and interrupting some patterns, it's not because God is finished.
-
It's because God is about to move.
-
He's shifting some things, he's working some things, he's blessing
-
some things.
-
Second Peter says this if second Peter won.
-
And twenty, but understand this first of all, that no
-
prophecy of scripture is a matter of or comes from
-
one's own personal interpretation. For no prophecy was ever made
-
by an act of human will, but it.
-
Was because men. It was by men.
-
Watch this moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke
-
from God. If God can't move you, he can't speak
-
through you.
-
Lord. I need y'all to hear me.
-
If God wants to come and say something fresh, he
-
can't do it through can't do it through a voice
-
that won't shift with him. Oh my God, you can't
-
take the people to another place that you won't go yourself.
-
You can't shift to another dispensation when you're still looking
-
for God to come the same way, Holly.
-
And sometimes when you're waiting on God.
-
To shift all of us, he'll shift you first and
-
leave you out there by yourself. Come on, somebody, but
-
you got to stand flat footed and say God told
-
me to do it, even if y'all ain't out here
-
with me. God told me to do it. Even if
-
you don't see what I see. God told me to
-
do it. And I can't get back on the boat
-
with y'all. Y'all got to get the faith to come
-
out here on the water with me. A lot of
-
people always talk about Peter losing faith when he started
-
to sink, but nobody want to talk about he was
-
the only one to get out the boat.
-
God didn't just call Peter out.
-
Matter of fact, Peter Amen was the one that said,
-
if it be you bid me to come in other
-
words or other ones was ducking and hiding and he
-
was trying to figure out who it was, and all
-
he needed was a word. And I preached this over
-
and over. Peter didn't walk on the water. He walked
-
on the word because he said, if it's you bid
-
me to come in other words, I gotta have something
-
to stand on and the spirit, Oh Lord, And when
-
Jesus spoke the word come, it was a flotation of
-
device for him to stand on. And I'm talking to
-
some of you who feel like you out there by yourself. Baby,
-
The reason why you still floating is because you got
-
a word to stand on somebody next to you and
-
tell him when everything else falls, I still got a word.
-
And as long as I got a word, I got
-
enough to get me through this storm. I got enough
-
to get me through this situation. I got enough to
-
get me what I need until God shows up. Because
-
God gave you a word, and sometimes it's going to
-
pull you out.
-
By yourself sometimes.
-
And I'm being partial, but but I just talked to
-
my dad in the spirit, and now I have such
-
an understanding and appreciation of his resolve because he was
-
walking in the Apostolic in the sixties when nobody not
-
only was it popular, nobody even.
-
Know what he was doing.
-
He said, but I can't come down, I can't move
-
because this is where God is taking the church.
-
Lorda needs you all to hear me in his house.
-
And so now now, even in my own skin, come on.
-
Some call me a renegador, some call me kind of
-
out the box, and some call me come on, amen,
-
the one that they're scared to say whatever they feel.
-
And I know what it feels like to hear God.
-
And seemingly be the only one who hurt them. What
-
you're gonna do when you know God is moving, but
-
you're the only one who feels the shift.
-
I'm speaking to the next generation.
-
I'm telling you author generation of now, it ain't about age,
-
it ain't about dispensation.
-
I mean, it's about what God is about to do.
-
And if you are ready to move and God say move,
-
let me tell you it is not going to be
-
a crowded move, but you will be more effective.
-
Come here, get in and help me. Hey man, how
-
to teach me how to serve God with less? He says.
-
The ones you have now are too many because half
-
of them don't really want to do it no way.
-
So sometimes God has to reduce you to make you
-
more effective. You need to look at somebody for the
-
third time and say, I'm about to.
-
Get more done with less weight.
-
When you catch on this shift, he gonna take thirty
-
of you and do more than a church what a
-
thousand can do. Because what's happened is too many people
-
have snatched His glory and God is setting you in
-
a place where nobody can get credit. Your tithes didn't
-
get it done, your offering didn't get it done. Your
-
job couldn't get you this, your education couldn't take it.
-
The only way you got where you got to is
-
what somebody gonna have the testimony if it had not been.
-
For the Lord.
-
I know we say it in the testimony service, but
-
you're gonna have a real revelation. If it had not
-
been for the Lord who was on my side, I
-
don't know where I would be. I need y'all to
-
hear me in here some of you. God's gonna give
-
you a Sarah transition. He's gonna make you laugh, not
-
laugh at it, but laugh because of it. Because the
-
first time she laughed, she laughed in disbelief, in unbelief.
-
The second time she laughed, she laughed in disbelief. I
-
can't believe he did all this. Are y'all still walking
-
with me?
-
If you experience the moving spirit, watch this, there will
-
be impact. I've come to speak confidence in a scary move.
-
I come to speak confidence in an unconventional shift. I
-
come to breathe on a vision God gave, even though
-
it goes against how it's always been done. I'm coming
-
to give life to a baby that religion is trying
-
to kill. And I've come to give kingdom life to
-
what God is shifting to. He didn't call you to
-
play in the margins and the boundary. He told you
-
to go all the way to what he wants you
-
to do. Come on, somebody. He didn't tell you to
-
put a toe in it. He saying, trust me in
-
the whole thing. I needs y'all to hear me, and
-
God is speaking to a vision that's in this house,
-
that's in your belly, and it ain't just the pastor,
-
and it ain't.
-
Just the house. Come on, somebody, but some of you.
-
God is calling and challenging you to do something that
-
you've never seen before. And you're nervous because you've never
-
got the blueprint, not giving you the blueprint, because you
-
are the blueprint.
-
You're the first one to do it.
-
You're the first one to see it, and you waiting
-
for everybody else to see what God has placed in
-
your spirit.
-
But God is saying, you gotta trust what I'm.
-
Shifting you to because I'm gonna pull many behind you,
-
but nobody can come intil you're bold enough to go.
-
Nobody did it this way, but God gave it to
-
you first.
-
Don't wait ten years from now and watch everybody do
-
what you should have started. Don't don't don't wait five
-
years from now when your when your vision is making
-
somebody millions, because not only is God shifting the church,
-
but God is putting kingdom in the marketplace. And the
-
next move that's gonna shift kingdom ain't gonna come from
-
the church. Goal It's gonna come from the business person.
-
God's gonna have somebody stop by your church and give
-
you a two hundred thousand dollars check and they never
-
met you before because there's something God told them about
-
your vision.
-
Oh y'all don't like me right up in here, holl
-
he lujah.
-
Instead of trying to make all preachers and prophets, how
-
about praying over somebody to be the next surgeon.
-
I need y'all to hear me in this place. Oh,
-
I need y'all to hear me.
-
Pray over somebody and anoint their hands so they can
-
start ten businesses.
-
So that everything you feel in your spirit they can finance.
-
So y'all don't want to hear this kind of shift,
-
Hey man, Come on, somebody, Hey man, how about lay
-
hands on the next bank president while we ain't never
-
got to worry about no funding because we got back,
-
Oh Lord high mercy, because the whole executive team is
-
a part of our ministry. Were trying to box him
-
into a local assembly, and he's trying to get us
-
to take the kingdom that's inside of us and to
-
reach the world. He's shifted to the streets and we
-
stuck in the church. He's trying to he's trying to
-
get into media. He's trying to get into these other influences.
-
He's trying to get into the financial room.
-
He's trying to.
-
Get into politics, and we're saying that ain't God. What
-
if he had What if we had a president that
-
spoke in tones, y'all, I'm trying to stretch it now,
-
that might be too much for y'all. What if we
-
had a president that laid hands on his whole cabinet
-
and right in the inauguration about ten of them fell
-
out in the spirit. What if we had a president
-
who had a bishop's counsel in an apostolic circle before
-
he ever went into the House of Representatives, so they
-
didn't even he didn't even have an agenda until it
-
got approved by the leaders of the I need y'all
-
to hear me in his house.
-
But what I'm saying is God, it's trying.
-
To expand what he wants to do, and we're trying
-
to shut down this next move because it ain't comfortable.
-
I need you to understand. This is my second point,
-
and I'm moving. The spirit is moving.
-
Watch this.
-
Where's it moving in the direction of purpose? It's not
-
moving in the direction of tradition. It's moving in the
-
direction of purpose.
-
Watch this.
-
It moves in the direction of the word. Watch it
-
why because it moves to perform the word. It moves
-
to lead you to purpose. And I'm telling you right now,
-
I don't care what life throws at you.
-
I don't care what life threw at you.
-
I don't care how far the attacks drove you from
-
what and who you.
-
Were called to be and what you were called to do.
-
I'm telling you.
-
The Spirit is moving you back to the direction of purpose.
-
That's why He wouldn't let you get too far out there,
-
because you weren't born to do that.
-
I don't care how much you like it. You wasn't
-
born to do it.
-
And a lot of us amen get confused with what
-
can make money and what is purpose for me? You
-
might be able to be successful at it, but He
-
didn't put you here to do it. And the Spirit
-
has to make sure that the word comes to pass.
-
And so if God spoke a word over your life,
-
the spirit will hover until you go into the direction
-
of the word. He won't let you do your own thing.
-
You are not on your time, You on God's time.
-
You belonged to the kingdom before you were ever in
-
your mother's womb. You was with God and he needed
-
you for an assignment. And He didn't send you here
-
for you to get here and get rogue. He sent
-
you here to accomplish what you've been set to do.
-
And I've come to let somebody know your time of
-
doing what you wanna do has just been up, and
-
God is now shifting you into the.
-
Direction of your purpose.
-
This next season is not gonna be about what you
-
wanna do. It's about what you've been assigned to get done.
-
I'm an assignment today because God said I'm shifting some
-
new gifts. Are you listening? Your purpose will keep calling
-
you back. That's why God keep waking you up. That's
-
why what you thought was gonna work never works. That's
-
why you've been interrupted by different things. You put together
-
a great plan, but it was never purpose. I don't care.
-
The Bible says man can put together all types of plans,
-
but the purpose of the Lord come on, it will
-
prevent every time. And I need you to understand God
-
has not changed his mind about you, and he's not
-
gonna give up on you, and he's not gonna leave
-
you alone. Because you was assigned for this and a
-
lot of us apostle, we lost too much time because
-
people did not desern our gift and they raised us
-
to fit a mold that we was never supposed to
-
fit in. And we wasted fifteen years of our life
-
trying to make us be something that God never intended
-
us to be. And now we gotta play ketch up
-
because the church couldn't look at us.
-
And they were not securing.
-
Themselves enough to say, you gotta do something different than
-
I did passions. We wasn't secure and saying I'm raising
-
you to hear God, not hear me.
-
No, it's my.
-
Responsibility to get your relationship with God right, not to
-
emulate your leader. Lord needs you all to hear me.
-
You need to learn from me that you don't need
-
to copy me. I'm not looking for a carbon copy.
-
You need to hear God for you like I heard
-
God for me. Because God don't want to redo it.
-
I just finished. He want to be able to call
-
you and you say, here, my Lord, your servant, listen.
-
And we're just raising up people that have rehearsed how
-
to do ministry over and over again.
-
And we got five year old preachers preaching like.
-
The fifty year old preachers instead of teaching a five
-
year old person to get on your face and learn
-
how to pray, and learn how to hear God's voice
-
and get the confidence in your God that whatever he
-
tells you to do, you shift when God moves. So
-
now we got full grown people who know God but
-
don't know their place, because He gave us gifts.
-
To bring us all to maturity. You may not be in.
-
The office of a prophet, but your gift is prophetic
-
and you need to know that why you see things
-
and why you dream and why you have intuition. And
-
if you around a ministry who's shutting down the prophetic
-
part of your gift, your baby is gonna suffocate because
-
you need to round be around some atmospheres that's gonna
-
give you life. You might not be an apostle in
-
the gift, but your gift is tied to the apostolic oil.
-
What does that mean? That means you're a trail blazer.
-
That means you ain't scared to be the first. That
-
means you ain't scared to do something nobody else did.
-
And you gotta be comfortable being appo stolent without the title.
-
But if I preached against prophets and apostles. I don't
-
know how to birth one. I don't know how to
-
speak to that gift because I don't even think it exists.
-
That was a devil. I don't even teach you how
-
to be an evangelist. I'm trying to raise you to
-
be me, and I need you to understand. What we've
-
done is that we have developed the culture that pricks
-
against the move of God. And so we've made people
-
outcasts because they didn't see it the way you saw it.
-
But I've come to get you tonight. God's about to
-
use you in this next move. I need you to
-
hear me tonight. Y'all, all right, y'all, all right, hear me.
-
Your purpose is gonna keep calling you. It's gonna keep
-
calling you. Can I tell you that God ain't got
-
nothing but time. Promise you he can outlive you, and
-
he'll call your son to get done what you wouldn't do.
-
I promise you he got time. You can't wait God out.
-
Come on, somebody, you can't wait them out. I promise
-
you he got time.
-
Listen to me.
-
I don't care what seasons. I'm coming to get somebody
-
who need to heal. I don't care what seasons you
-
pass through. I don't care what thoughts you entertained. I
-
don't care what your mindset is or was that you
-
had to find yourself.
-
In in the season of your life.
-
I've come to tell you tonight, if nobody else will
-
tell you, your purpose is stronger and the Spirit of
-
God will get through what it needs to get through
-
to pull you back into.
-
The direction of your purpose.
-
And not only that, the Spirit of God is moving
-
not only to pull you into your direction, but it's
-
moving on your behalf. Let me tell you something. One
-
of the things that has that has kept me in
-
seasons where I couldn't see what God is doing is
-
a revelation of the realm of unseen being more real
-
than the realm we see. Watch this the fact that
-
Genesis one, God said, this time, let us make man
-
after our own image. And he looked at the dark
-
the script I just read, and there was void, and
-
it was dark, and there was nothing there.
-
Watch this. He was creating a world that we were
-
living in.
-
But that means he existed in a world that was
-
already functioning before that world was ever created. There's a
-
spirit realm that's way more seasoned to this natural experience
-
that we have. And society teaches us that this is it.
-
But I'm telling you just on well, you can't see
-
what God is doing. There's a spirit realm that has
-
worked over time to prepare what's next for you, and
-
you can't get caught up because you don't see it.
-
You gotta trust to God that's gonna reveal it in
-
due time. When you finally see something, it doesn't mean
-
God just made it show up. It means you finally
-
get to the place where you can see what always
-
been there. I need y'all to hear me it was
-
revealed to you, but He already finished the work. Ah,
-
I need y'all to hear me. Everything you need and
-
God is finished. But he told, He told, Jesus told
-
his disciples. He said, I'm going to be with the Father,
-
but don't worry. I'm giving you the comforter. But I've
-
downloaded him. Lord, have mercy all things pertaining to you.
-
He can't tell you now because you can't handle it.
-
He can't give you all a revelation of one time
-
or you will get scared and quit walking. But he'll
-
allow you to reveal, be revealed to moments in your
-
life that you can handle in.
-
The season of your life.
-
Can I tell you there's so much ahead of you
-
that He's wanting you to grow up spiritually so he
-
can finally let you peek in on so you can
-
finally see what he's been.
-
Working on for the last ten years. God is not
-
working on anything concerning you.
-
He's already finished everything concerning you, and he's already given
-
you amen, a purpose, with amen of hope and a future.
-
He's waiting on you to get to the place where
-
you can handle what I really want to do with you,
-
because some of us, if he told us our real assignment,
-
we will hide for two weeks. So he's got to
-
give you a false destination to get you going in
-
the right direction. He's got to make you think you're
-
pursuing something to get you on the road to what
-
he wants you to. I need y'all to hear me.
-
This is too malile. I'll back off. Are y'all hearing me?
-
Can I help somebody? It is not a matter if
-
you will ever find your way back to what He's
-
purposed you to do. It's a matter of a win
-
hear me, hear me, because I don't want to get
-
too I know you get a lot of good preaching here,
-
and this is one of the best preachers in the country,
-
so I know you get the preaching you need. But
-
can I establish something? Can just can I just talk
-
to you for a little bit? Can I just talk
-
to you? Exodus thirteen and twenty one says and the
-
Lord went before them by day in a pillar of
-
a cloud and led them on the way, and by
-
night in a pillar of.
-
Fire, to give them light to go. By day and night.
-
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day,
-
you know, the pillar of the fire by night. From
-
before the people, the Spirit was hovering in Genesis one,
-
for God to create, God was following or hovering his people,
-
the presence of God, the spirit of God, listened to me,
-
was hovering the Israelites in Exodus thirteen. And I've come
-
up related to release to you tonight that he's still hovering,
-
and it's our season to give him something to do.
-
That that word in Genesis four, when it says that
-
that Adam was created in the image of God, it
-
is not a formal fashion. It is the same likeness
-
that says when Adam had his kids, they was created
-
in the image of their father Adam. So if we
-
can take that literally, why can't we take our image
-
connected to our God literally. I'm talking about from a
-
spiritual perspective. Why can't we say, like Jesus said, passes
-
as as he is, so are we on this earth?
-
What are you saying? I can't be like my daddy
-
and not have the same characteristics of him. God couldn't
-
just speak it, or he couldn't just think it. God
-
had to speak it, and he had to know when
-
he spoke it there was a spirit that was moving
-
to perform it. And if he created the world informed
-
his word framed his world, according to Hebrews eleven and three,
-
and we are of him. I'm asking you this question,
-
what world have you framed with the word that he's given?
-
Because if he had to speak his word, even though
-
his word already was, what do you think we have
-
to do? Even though the word is written, it's still
-
got to come out of your mouth. And too many
-
of us are allowing the enemy to steal our joy
-
because we have not released our authority. I got a
-
question for you guys today, what are you framing with
-
the word of God, because that in the scripture say
-
as he is, so are we on the earth. I
-
want to help you here number three, and we're gonna move.
-
His most important part of my message. If the spirit moves,
-
we have to move. We can't stay where the spirit
-
is no longer hovering. He said he led them by
-
cloud and by fire, But if they chose not to walk,
-
they would have not received light, not because he didn't
-
provide it because they stopped moving. Could it be that
-
it got dark in your situation because he kept moving
-
and you stay still and what was light in your
-
path is now gone because there's too much distance between
-
where he is and where you got stuck. You don't
-
need God to reveal you need to catch up because
-
if you stay close enough, you'll always have light on
-
the subject.
-
Can I help you?
-
The reason why we fall and trip and flipball over
-
furniture is not because the furniture in the way, is
-
because we ain't got no light in the room. If
-
you come here at night and know no lights come on,
-
and you try to run through this church, you better
-
be careful because you can't see the obstacles in your way.
-
We've been praying for years to God to remove the
-
obstacles instead of praying for God to turn the light on.
-
I don't care how crowd of the room is.
-
If I can navigate my way through Lord, I need
-
y'all to hear me.
-
And so what we've.
-
Done subconsciously is God, give me a strategy where I'm stuck,
-
instead of God, help me to increase my pace to
-
keep up.
-
You don't need a strategy if you close.
-
We've been going to church strategies instead of going to
-
prayer meetings. Were going to online conferences on how to
-
build your church and grow to a thousand and a
-
two month scheme instead of getting clear about what God
-
has called me to do. Could it be the reason
-
why we don't see the growth we need is we
-
really had to embrace what we're.
-
Supposed to be doing. Okay, let me move from that.
-
Mean if the spirit is moving to something fresh, hear me,
-
hear my heart, You must move with him because he
-
is a moving spirit. Watch this, and he is in you,
-
and he ain't gonna stop being a moving spirit just
-
because he's in you. When God moves, watch this, our
-
posture has to shift. I'm coming in and I'm not
-
trying to excite you, and I need you to hear me.
-
Posture one of the things I learned that I'm not
-
saying it is because it is absolute. I'm saying it's
-
because God was dealing with me. When I started to
-
settle and who I am as an apostle. I had
-
to slow myself down because some things you say is
-
not only breaking things down and prepaving away, but some
-
things you say it's got to be the weight that
-
people spring from they move from. And so I don't
-
need to excite you. I need you to understand what
-
God is about to do. Y'all hearing me, if you
-
listen to me. If God is moving, you can't move
-
with him until you deal with your posture. My people
-
hear me say this word all the time because it's
-
so necessary. Our posture has to shift before our language changes,
-
before it before our prayers change. We have to position
-
ourselves to be open again for something fresh. A lot
-
of times people change churches and they say they're ready
-
for something new, but they come with the same old
-
expectations of the church that hurt them. Your posture is
-
a particular way of dealing with or considering something, it's
-
an approach or an attitude.
-
We ain't do this at my old church.
-
That's why you ain't there, and that's why you left
-
because it wasn't no life in your old church for
-
the last ten years.
-
And you ain't gonna come over here and take the
-
life out of hours.
-
Trying to take us back to a place where lost life.
-
I'm not talking about. I'm talking about in California. A
-
posture is the way you approach is something with an
-
attitude or your attitude, and what you approach what's your
-
attitude when you approach a new thing? Are you still
-
comparing it to old models? Are you ready to God
-
for God to challenge you with something that you've never
-
seen before? One of the greatest challenges, if I could
-
ever be when I get to heaven, if I can
-
ever see Noah, what was it like to build something
-
for hundreds of years, for something that nobody's ever saw.
-
We get mad because people say one thing about us
-
on Facebook. Imagine seventy eighty Are he crazy? He building
-
something that could not be ignored? Watch this but also
-
couldn't be explained. All he had was God told me
-
to do it? And what do you do, because here
-
is the thing. After God uses him and his family
-
to do something fresh, he says, yes, God takes him
-
on that boat, he wipes everything out. Then he brings
-
Noah by himself to a world where there's nobody else
-
there for him, on a land and a system that
-
has been wiped away. So he doesn't he's not familiar
-
with anything he sees. That's why he says, the first
-
thing he did is when he stepped up the boat
-
he built God and onto because you're gonna have to
-
help me if you want me to.
-
Burst something new, because.
-
Everything I used to know is gone.
-
And us are afraid of being that vulnerable.
-
Because we like we like, we like the seasons that
-
we've built up over the years. We know church, we
-
know church folks, we know church rhetoric, rhetoric, we know
-
all other things, and that what makes us season. But
-
what if God takes your season self and puts you
-
in a new environment and says, trust me with something fresh.
-
So when we talk about posture and our problems, you
-
can play soft tim I'm coming in. We are talking
-
about watch this how we start. We're talking about our
-
intentions and how we come across it. Is the calculated
-
and habitual way in which we move. It is the
-
way we see it.
-
It is how we believe it. It is the way
-
we do it.
-
And what God is calling us to today is that
-
do I have access to your posture to change how
-
you see it, to change how you believe it, and
-
to change the way you do it. But when I
-
say the way you believe it, I'm not talking about
-
the scriptures. I'm talking about what we believe that has
-
nothing to do with God. Some stuff we argue about
-
has nothing to do with souls. Some stuff that we
-
get offended about has nothing to do with the spirit
-
of God. People leave churches because they move the communion table.
-
The flower too, you know it.
-
People get offended and call a church meeting because you
-
took the poor pitt trails off the chair, off the
-
poor pit and put them to the side. That ain't
-
the way my grandmama wanted it and told they about.
-
Help build this church.
-
We get offended over things that has nothing to do
-
with what God is doing. And I'm telling you right now,
-
do you trust Him enough to make you uncomfortable in
-
a new shift.
-
Because it's already happening. Can you not perceive it. I've
-
come to let you know and announce this. There are
-
some things.
-
About us, And I wrote this down because I want
-
to say it the way God showed it to me.
-
There are some things about us as a church. When
-
I say that, I say about the church universally that
-
God is saying it is time to move different.
-
I am not.
-
Here's the Holy His Holy Spirit told me. I am
-
not doing it the same way. Don't get stuck to
-
a way or a thing or a routine that I
-
have moved from. God sent me here for some of
-
you that's been feeling something in your.
-
Belly to affirm and to confirm.
-
Get ready for a move of God. Get ready for
-
things to shift. Get ready for God to do a
-
new thing. Watch this with new people in a new way.
