My lovely 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:03.560 wife celebrates your stand up honey, show them my deg you. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:09.320 The finest grandmama I saw in my life, five kids, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:16.120 nine grand kids is still rocketed. She can still twork 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:22.160 for the Lord and give God a praise. See that 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:31.519 spirit that was on you jumped on me, cast it out. Well, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.160 I'm going to do something in the third service that 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.560 we didn't get to do in the first service. And 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.880 this is just part of my way of celebrating. Your 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:47.200 Pastor texts me at least twice a week, and if 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.880 I preach something really good, he calls me. That's my barometer. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.160 There are levels. If he doesn't call or text, I 0:02:55.280 --> 0:03:00.960 go into depression. I think I just completely failed. He 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.160 missed about three weeks. I said, what's wrong with you? 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:10.680 Call me say something. We love you. It's not a 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.240 slage love. It's not a in front of people love. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.200 It's it's a deep, abiding love. So much of your 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:24.280 story is like mine. You came up from a small 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.760 town in the rural area in monks Creek. It is 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.880 it ought to be monks Creek, a monk's corner and 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.560 he came out of Monks Corner and then Charlotte. I 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.640 grew up in Charleston, West Mcgod, Virginia, you gotta throw 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.240 the back God in there. You're not a true West Virginia. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:52.240 Take me home Country Road to the place I belong 0:03:54.160 --> 0:04:06.280 West Virginia, Mount Marma Tigh Country Road. I just had 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.280 to authenticate that I am a true West Virginia when 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.600 you know all the words to that's all. You are 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.600 from West Virginia. And God sent me to Dallas, Texas, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.240 and I had whatever happened in my life happened in 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:19.800 my life, and I just so relate to you in 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.400 so many ways. And I was trying to think of 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.840 something to commemorate because he's always getting me all these 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.600 cool shoes, and I got big feet, you know. So 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.560 he gets me the shoes and then calls me and 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.840 asks me, did I get all my toes in them? 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.200 So I started to get you some cool shoes, but 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.120 I wasn't sure you could get all your toes in them. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.719 But I do want to make a presentation to you 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.440 that I thought reminded me of you. And this is 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:56.480 part of my birthday present to you. And I hope 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:02.680 the right thing is under here, because this is great faith, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.159 because I didn't get to check behind. So if I 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.279 unveiling and it's the wrong thing, I'm going to cover 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.960 it up. Then for the first time in my intern life, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:18.039 I'm going to turn red. Okay, because you, as a 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:23.640 very young man, did such amazing things that shook the world, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:29.240 that transcended denominations and culture and ethnicities and backgrounds and 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:36.200 politics and generational ideologies. Shook the world in such a 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.000 powerful way. When I think of Bible characters, I thought 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:54.320 of David. I think you are a giant killer, and 0:05:54.440 --> 0:06:07.599 so I had them get this bronze statue so that 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.120 you could put this somewhere in your life and every 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.320 time you run into something big or feel in anequin 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.320 or wonder can you do it? Brought this David to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.039 remind you that the head of the giant is under 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:28.039 your feet. And this is my sermony. You come on 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.520 up close. You've been coming up a while I was preaching. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.800 Look at it. I paid a lot of money for this. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.240 Want you I wanted I want you to get the 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:43.240 impact that everything that roared against you is under you, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.320 and your sword is grown, and you are good. And 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.240 every time you think of it. I want you to 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.560 tell the Lord to bless me. Will you do that 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.719 for me? I love you. Give it up for him. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:07.320 Thank you hug somebody while you're standing there until he 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:18.520 turned blue. I'm grateful to be here. You can be seated. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.840 Doctor Andipus. What you're saying, Doctor Andapus runs my new 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:29.840 Jake's Divinity School, giving up for him. He comes up 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.960 here to make sure that I'm theologically in order and correct, 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.520 and he's running my school for me. Now. I just 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.880 started an online Jake's Divinity School is also online in Dallas, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.560 and we're proud to announce it. Thank you for being here, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.080 playing hooky away from church. I'm gonna get you later, amen. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.360 I'm all through the other service. I kept I was preaching. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.360 I kept looking at this guy that looked like Mike 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.640 Todd and I said, gosh, looks just like my car. 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.200 And I thought I might text you later and tell 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.640 you that you have a look alike in Charlotte, and 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.640 I found out, No, it's not his twin brother. It's 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.280 really him giving up him and his lovely wife I 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.560 just met. Stand up, take a bow, let's celebrate them. Yeah, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:28.320 I appreciation. This is just good. Since you're both here, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.440 I got a breg.

A second, I'm not worried about no 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.240 devils being nowhere between Steven Ferdick and Mike Todd. All 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.079 the devils have moved down to Charlotte. They're scared to 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.520 be around. Amen. Thank god I've got them.

I've got a component 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:12.079 that really will touch your life. Dave Stewart, who is 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.640 a billionaire that stays out of sight, low profile African 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.160 American Saint Louis, Missouri. I don't know how I talked 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.080 to him into coming, but what's really cool about him, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.720 there's a lot of billionaires out He's a born again 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:29.199 bloodwa wash spirit, feel loves Jesus, and he's going to 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.439 show you how to use your faith to move your finances. 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.199 To the next level, because God's getting ready to pour 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.080 out wealth on these people like we've never seen before, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.520 so that we can have impact in this present world. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:46.480 Shall all a millionaires shout out an idiot. That's what 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.600 I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. It's going 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.520 to be good anyway. Thank you Jesus, Thank God, Thank 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.160 God for your life, thank God for this church. Go 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.679 to the Book of Acts, chapter eight, verse one through eight, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.520 and while you turn into it, I want to tell 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.360 you about my dog Pup. You know, you're not very 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.800 creative when you get a dog and you name him pup. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.720 He was just a puppy and Mama said, what are 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.880 you gonna name him? I said, well, let's call him Pup. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.600 So he grew to me that high. But we still 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.920 called him Pup and he was nice to us, but 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.880 he would terrorize the community, so we had to keep 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.120 him chained and a little. I lived in a little 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.599 raggedy house on the side of the hill, on the 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.360 backside of a mountain in Charlton, West Virginia, and half 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.000 of the house was on the mountain. Another half was 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.080 supported by four by four posts, and we had him 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.959 tied to the posts on the chain, and we didn't 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.240 know that he could break the chain until one day 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.160 this young man came down there on the bicycle and 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.679 he was moving real fast, you know, on the bicycle, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.040 and that he's now, he's been in my church, gosh 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.120 forty years now. But at that time, I was just 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.920 a little boy, and we didn't know that Pup could 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.000 break the chain. But Pup showed us that when what 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.319 he wanted in front of him was bigger than what 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.880 was behind him, he broke the chain that held him 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.240 and went to the next level. And I'm believing God 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.760 for everybody in here to do some chain breaking in 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.320 your life. Hey man, any chain breakers in the room, 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:35.120 tell somebody, tell him I'm a chain breaker. I want 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.679 you to go to the Book of Acts eight, verse one, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.520 and if you want to make me feel real and home, 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.240 stand for the reading of the word. Just because we 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.640 stood for everybody else, we might as well stand for God. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.640 Beginning at verse one, I'm going to read eight simple 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:55.600 verses I will extrapolate from the text. I think I'm 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.920 going to I think I'm going to just use Pup 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:04.199 as an example and just call it chain breaker. And 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.040 look at him as said I'm a chain breaker. And 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.120 Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.599 there was a great persecution against the Church which was 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.199 at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.840 regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles and devout 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:31.960 men carried Step into his burial and made great lamentations 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.360 over him. This is the embryotic stages of the development 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.760 of the church. The church hadn't even really come into 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.560 the realization of who it really was. It had power, 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.720 it had purpose, but it didn't even understand itself fully. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.760 It didn't have structure or order. As for Saul, he 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.600 made havoc of the church. Saul, who would later become 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.680 converted and be one of the greatest participants of the church, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.120 had not come into the awareness of who he was. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.800 So the church, who didn't know who he was, was 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.559 being persecuted by a man who didn't know who he was. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.000 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.600 into every house and hailing men and women, committing them 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.439 to prison, hauling men and women and committing them unto prison. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:22.640 Therefore they were scattered abroad. They were therefore therefore therefore, therefore, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.040 because of the persecution. Therefore, because of the persecution, they 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:32.040 were scattered abroad and went everywhere preaching the Gospel. Then Philip, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:36.559 then Philip, Then Philip went. Then Philip went down to Samaria, 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.160 to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.680 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.200 things which Philip spake. Hearing and seeing the miracles which 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.480 he did, they heard what he said, they watched what 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:56.160 he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.599 came out of many that were possessed with them, and 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.199 many were taken, many taken with palsy, and that were 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:11.000 lame were healed, and there was great what joy in 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.800 that city. Chain breakers, Let's pray, Father, in the name 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.800 of Jesus, I pray that your presence and power would 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.360 prevail in this place today, that your glory would emanate 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.800 through the Word of God, that it would touch lives, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.800 that it wouldn't just touch us, but it would touch 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:32.600 all that concerns us, all that is around us, all 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.160 that we envelop I pray God that this would be 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.120 the kind of yoke breaking, thirst, quenching, mind, renewing Chain 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.960 breaking word that releases the captives and sets him free, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.600 that heals the lame that binds up the broken hearted. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.800 I pray a special prayer for people whose heart has 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.040 been broken today and they bear a pain that no 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.960 medicine can heal. But today, in the name of Jesus, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.760 I pray that healing would break out in the hearts 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.040 of not only this campus, but every campus that is watching. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.000 I speak. Healing and deliverance have your way in this 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.840 place in the name of Jesus, we pray, and I 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.800 need everybody with a sound of thunder to shout amen. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.800 You may be seated in the presence of God. Next 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.680 time you introduce me, bring it down like quite a bit, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:33.520 you know, bring the expectation level down. Turn it down 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:39.560 a little bit. I'd rather you about there and that way. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.160 If I hit there, I'm up. But if you put 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.480 it up there, I have to leap up like Magic 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.360 Johnson to get there. So pray for me. Somebody shout amen. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.320 We are in the Book of Acts. It has wrongly 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.120 been called the acts of the Apostles, when in fact, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.640 with careful ste you will understand it is not so 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.360 much the acts of the Apostles. It is in fact 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.720 the acts of God. It is the acts of God 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.200 through the apostles in the early formation of the Church. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.640 This book is written by Luke. It is a continuation 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.560 of the Gospel of Luke and initially was not divided. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.480 Later it was divided from the book, but it continues 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.800 the thoughts of Luke when he says, so, former treaties 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.960 have I made in acts one to one? The former 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.600 treaties have I made? O Theophilus, of all that Jesus 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.640 began both to do and to teach, the indication is 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.280 that Jesus began it, but he is not finished. Of 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.680 all that Jesus began both to do and to teach 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.280 into Samaria Judea in the utmost parts of the earth. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.000 It is just that the Jesus that is doing it 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.560 now is not doing it through the body he initially 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.200 did it through. But rather than to do it through 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.120 his physical body, he is now doing it through his 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.760 mystical body. But it is still him. There are very 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.680 few occasions that we see the physical body and the 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.639 mystical body in the same place, like we do at 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.679 the Passover. Allow me to share what I mean. At 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.399 the Passover service, you see all aspects of the Body 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.359 of Christ. You see the physical body of Christ, and 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.920 through the bread and the wine, you see the memorial 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.639 body of Christ serving the physical body of Christ is 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.680 serving the memorial body of Christ to the mystical body 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.600 of Christ, who is the Church. And they're all at 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.440 the table together. So the Body of Christ says to 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:42.240 the Body of Christ, says, take eat, this is my body, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.080 and we see all three manifestations of one body in 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.040 one place. Had the enemy understood what I just said, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.159 he would have never crucified the Lord, because when he 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.560 crucified the Lord, he crucified the Lord to get the 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.159 Body of Christ out of the earth. But all the 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.600 Body of Christ did was move from the physical body 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.159 of Christ into the mystical body of Christ so that 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.040 the work of God could continue. And that's who you are. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.280 Your name is not James or Robert or Richard or 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:17.560 Angela or Shaniqua. No, no, your name. Yeah, I gotta 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:24.440 cover everybody. This is an equal opportunity to uri say, man, 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.560 somebody that is not really your name, Your name is 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.119 really Christ Jesus. Yes, Because when the Father looks at you, 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.000 he does not see you as an individual. He sees 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:41.440 you as Jesus Christ, because Christ has covered you in 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.240 such a way that the truth of the miner is. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.400 When Christ was on the cross, God didn't see his son, 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:53.159 he saw your sin, and so when he reacted to 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:57.440 what he saw, and Christ was smitten of God, confused, saying, 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:02.159 elie lie lama, sabothane, God, my God, why is forsaking me? 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.000 The reason that he felt forsaken is that he was 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.520 covered up with you so that you could be covered 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.720 up with him, so that the life that you now 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.520 live in the flesh, you live by the faith of 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.879 the son of God, who loved himself and gave himself 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.280 a ransom for you. I'll prove it to you, so 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.440 Jesus tells you. When you go to the Father, don't 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.679 use your name because he can't see you. But whatsoever 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:31.280 you ask the Father in my name, that will I do. So. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.040 When you come to the Father in the name of Jesus, 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.879 it's only because you look like Jesus, for his blood 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.520 is the propitiation of your sin and has so covered you. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.240 That's why you can come boldly to the throne of grace. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.600 You don't have to walk up with your head down, 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.760 ashamed of your sins because your sins were judged on 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.560 the cross. You can come like the beloved Son because 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.199 you are covered with the Beloved Son. And you got 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.600 to remember to use his name to somebody, say say Jesus, 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.879 Say Jesus, Say Jesus, Say Jesus, Say Jesus. When you come, 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.680 say Jesus, because you're wearing Jesus and you're walking in Jesus, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.679 and you're moving in Jesus, and you're living in Jesus. 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.760 In him. I live in Him, I move in Him. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:21.160 I have my being. And the Church is really trying 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.640 to get his hands around this whole notion of who 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:28.159 they are and understanding themselves because the Holy Spirit has 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.640 fallen on the Day of Pentecosts in Night chapter one, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.160 verse eight, and they have received this power, this power 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.520 from God which is so amazing and so incomprehensible that 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.040 they will spend the rest of their lives understanding how 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.920 to operate in this new dimension of the spirit. They 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.359 do not have deaconshit they do know how to have 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:52.160 elders or pastors or apostles that will come with Paul. 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.639 They just have power. But power without structure is a 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:01.320 dangerous thing. Do you hear what I'm saying. The Holy 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.760 Spirit has fallen with such power in that chapter one, 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.200 and that's chapter two, that whenever there were problems to arise, 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:13.200 they would all gather in Jerusalem because they were afraid 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.680 to get out of Jerusalem because they didn't feel ready yet. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.400 Have you ever not felt ready yet? And you knew 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.760 God was going to do some amazing things in your life, 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.720 but you didn't have all your details together, and you 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.359 didn't have everything worked out yet, and you felt like 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.880 destiny was moving faster than revelation was in your life, 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.480 and you were walking by faith and not by sight. 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:41.680 That was the feeling of the early Jight. So whenever 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.399 we don't know what to do, we hang around what 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:50.560 we know. And whenever we hang around what we know 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.159 too long, God has to send something to get us 0:21:54.240 --> 0:22:01.280 to move. Because being a christ which they weren't even 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.560 named yet at this point, being a Christian is not 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.640 a monument. It is a movement. It is a movement. 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.880 It is a movement, not a monument. It's not a building. 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.800 It's not a denomination, it's not a doctrine. It's a movement. 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:24.280 Elevation is not a church. It's a movement. You understand, 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.080 Thank you. It's not about a building. It's not about 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.920 four walls, it's not about where you sit in a building. 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.560 The vision of this church is a movement. That's why 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:40.600 you call elevation, which means we move, We elevate, we rise, 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.600 we escalate, we move forward. Don't look for us where 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.080 we used to be. Because we are elevation. We will 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.760 move on a brother. We will walk on a brother. 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.040 We will rise on a brother. If the enemy tries 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.040 to attack us, we will rise on the devil. Because 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.040 we are elevation. We are like eagles. We take to 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:04.760 the air, We rise above the storm. Come on, elevation. 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.840 I'm talking about your church. I'm talking about your church, 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.080 and all of your locations. Make some noise if you're 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:19.320 getting ready to elevate in this place. The problem is 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:24.720 fear will make a movement turn into a monument. And 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.760 most of our denominational entanglements just tell us where they 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:36.200 stopped moving, and we memorialize where God has been, rather 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:40.440 than to thirsty be where God is. Oh, follow me, 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.879 because I'm going somewhere today. They told me that this 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.720 is the third service, and I heard you all could 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.960 handle it. So I'm gonna drop it like it's hot 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:55.760 in here. Okay, you ready for this. I'm getting ready 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.760 to set it off in this place. Are you ready 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:03.000 for me to set it off in this place? I'm 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.920 getting ready to tell you that God has a way 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:10.679 of shifting things, getting us out of our comfort zone, 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:16.879 pushing us away from the familiar. He forces us to scatter. 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.000 And that's exactly what this text is all about, because 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.920 in a chapter eight, the church that is trying to 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:29.639 memorialize where God was is being pushed out of their 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:34.080 comfort zone by the attack of Saul. Kind of the 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:43.879 persecution of Saul comes direction. Direction. Persecution. Persecution is direction. 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.800 Sometimes you shout about the doors God opens, but you 0:24:48.960 --> 0:25:00.359 ought to be shouting about the doors God closes. He 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:05.159 will push you. And what has happened up into the 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.840 first eight ten years of the Early Church They kept 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.040 coming back to the Council at Jerusalem, because, after all, 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:16.119 Jerusalem is the epicenter of almost every major religion in 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.520 the world today claims its origin and root to go 0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.520 back to the city of Jerusalem. That is why the 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:27.200 Middle East has so much conflict, because they're fighting over territory. 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:32.560 Because Jerusalem becomes jeruse Adam, the Holy City, the City 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:37.280 of Peace, the offspring, and the progenitor, of which three 0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:42.959 major religions claim heritage. Yet you must realize that Jesus 0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:47.159 throws us a hint when he was crucified, according to 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:55.320 the Book of Hebrews outside of the city. Jesus, by 0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:58.760 his crucifixion, is already preaching to us that he's trying 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:04.879 to escape religion, his order, that he's breaking up Orthodoxy, 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:10.000 that he refuses to be left into the expected, but 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:13.080 he's going to move in the unexpected. And so when 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.560 the Book of Hebrew said that he died without the city, 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.480 it means that he escaped the religious order to expose 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.760 who he really was, so that he wouldn't be stuck 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.800 in the prison of religious ideology. That's why some people 0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.960 can't handle elevation, because you are unexpected. You're out of 0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.879 the box. You break all the rules, you change the game, 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.679 you change the flow, you broke the order. Look at 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.720 you young folks and old folks, and you black folks 0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:45.800 and white folks and brown folks shouting and dancing and 0:26:45.920 --> 0:27:01.520 praising God, elevation and our Now you must understand that 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.200 Christianity was not popular then it didn't even have a 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.680 name yet. It wasn't until they got to Antioch that 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.560 they started to be called Christians. The early Church was 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.760 called the Way, and then later they were called the Believers, 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:16.399 and eventually Antioch they were called the Church. And so 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:22.720 this nameless group of Jesus freaks were coming to Jerusalem 0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:28.000 because that's where they had last spotted His glory. Whenever 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:31.240 there was a dispute, they came back to Jerusalem. Whenever 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.679 there was confusion, they came back to Jerusalem. And they 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:40.240 kept huddling in Jerusalem. So God sent persecution to shift them. 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.879 I want to talk to everybody who's been persecuted and 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.399 you've been thinking it was the devil. If it was 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:52.280 the devil, God used him, because God will often use 0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:55.359 the devil to shift you from one dimension to the 0:27:55.480 --> 0:28:00.879 next dimension. That's why we glory and tribulation. Anybody can 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.880 glory when things are going well, but real believers glory 0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.520 and tribulation. Oh. I appreciate all of you that are 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.879 praising God because everything's going right, But the real praise 0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:15.000 go to the people where all hell is breaking loose 0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:19.560 and you're still praising God anyway, because God is shifting 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:27.480 you through persecution. And the Bible says that God sent 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:33.359 persecution to Jerusalem to scatter the church out of its 0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:38.320 comfort zone, to make them move to the next dimension, 0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:46.520 to get them out of Monk's corner or creek or whatever. 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:52.280 You see. God has a way of ordering your steps 0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.320 in such a way that sometimes you have to pack 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:59.880 your bags and flee your comfort zone to find your destiny. 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.160 And that's what we're reading in the Book of Acts 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:07.760 and the Bible, carefully, cautiously, almost as a footnote. And 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:13.320 sir said, Philip went down to Samaria. Now, let's talk 0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:18.480 about Samaria. It is not happenstance, said Philip would scattered 0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:24.840 to Samaria. God has unfinished business in Samaria. The Gospel 0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.920 of Saint John declares that Jesus sat by the well, 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:34.280 a well, sitting on a well. I waited for that 0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:41.680 to seek in in. Yes, Jesus is jacob'swell, Israel's well, 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:46.560 and he's sitting on Jacob's well, and he's waiting for 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.640 this one loose woman, this woman I called her a 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:54.400 loose woman. I called her loose. Forgive me, I mean, 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:57.680 maybe you don't like that. But she had had five 0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:03.360 husbands in a society that forbid that kind of caring on. 0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:09.640 She had five husbands and a situation. You know, some 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:14.040 of us get into these situations. It's not here, who 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:23.000 is it. He's not exactly with friends. So she had 0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:28.920 five husbands and a friend. She came down to the will, 0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:32.680 having been married five times and was living with a 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:35.480 man on the sixth time, and came down to the 0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.160 will and met the seventh man. And when she met 0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:43.400 the seventh man, the search was over, because he quenched 0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:47.080 the thirsting of her soul and set her free and 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:53.720 liberated her and gave her the victory. And you will 0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:58.400 remember that it was not her thirst that initiated the conversation. 0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.280 But if you will and back in the Gospel of 0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:03.880 Saint John, you will find out that what provoked the 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.880 initial conversation was not her thirst, because she expected her 0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.200 thirst to be quenched by the well that he was 0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:15.320 sitting on. But what started the conversation is his thirst, 0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:22.280 he says, woman, I thirst. She did not know. She 0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.960 thought she was a tramp. But the tramp was a 0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:33.280 thirst quencher misapplied and misallocated, I will admit. But the 0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.200 reason that she was always able to get somebody. Is 0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:38.640 that there was something in this woman that was designed 0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:41.080 to be a thirst quencher. She just had not found 0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:49.040 the right thirst to quench. You missed that. Yeah, sometimes 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:51.200 it has to be the right man to bring out 0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.000 in you what's really down inside of you. And none 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:56.080 of those other men could really bring it out in 0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.960 the first place. But when she got to the Seventh Man, 0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:02.000 the seventh Man and showed her why she was the 0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:05.960 way she was, she was a thirst squincher. You see. 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:12.320 She thirsted for water. He thirsted for her because she 0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:16.120 was going to be the vessel that set it off. 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.240 You will remember that we don't know her name. We 0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:23.200 don't know whether she's Helen or Jane. We just know 0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:29.600 that she is a woman from Samaria, and God needed 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:33.760 something to be planted in Samaria so that there would 0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:38.800 be something to harvest in Samaria. No seed, no harvest. 0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:43.160 So the woman at the well was the seed. And 0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:47.520 Philip goes down to collect the harvests. Are you with 0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:50.200 me so far? Come on? They told me you was 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.440 really smart in the third service, so I could drop 0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:56.080 it in here. You can handle it. The woman at 0:32:56.160 --> 0:33:00.400 the well was the seed. Now Philip goes down to 0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:05.240 Samaria to collect the harvests. I want you to get 0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.680 that in your spirit one. I want you to get 0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:10.640 that some of the things that are wrong and you 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.080 are only wrong because you haven't met the right man, 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.320 that there is a reason that you are the way 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:23.320 you are. And when you get the right piece of 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:26.800 the puzzle in the right place, everything will make sense. 0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:31.320 If you were crossword puzzles, you'll understand that you can't 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:35.360 cram the right piece into the wrong place. And some 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.280 of you have been crammed into all kinds of places 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.640 that you didn't really fit. But when you find Jesus, 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.400 you will find out why you are shaped the way 0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:50.760 you shape, and you fall into place anyway. So says 0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:55.040 the story that the woman who was at the well, 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:59.880 she dropped her water pots look at her shifting occupation. 0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:04.440 She dropped her water punch and went running into the 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:10.480 city to tell all the men. Yeah, baby, tell all 0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:15.040 the men. Since she knew all the men, she had 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:18.919 influence with the men, She had access to the men. 0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:23.600 So the woman told all the men, the men to 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:31.160 come see a man. She said, let me show you 0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:37.759 what a real man is. So after church, I want 0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:41.560 you to call all your exes and say, don't do that, 0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.840 don't do that. This teaser, I'm just teasing. I'm just teasing. 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:46.560 I don't want to have to get you out of jail. 0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:51.200 Just be cool, just illustration. Okay, she says, come see 0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:55.000 a real man who told me all things I had 0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:59.560 ever done. And the men came out to see. Imagine 0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:03.080 a that's a genic society. Means they don't respect women. 0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:06.200 That God would use that which they do not respect 0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:14.160 to bring him respect. And the women sowed the seed, 0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:21.080 and the women sowed the seed, and the women sowed 0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:26.520 the seed. And the women sow the seed, and the 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:30.560 women sowed the seed. I want to start a revolution 0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:34.560 with every woman in this room. Come out of the shadows, 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.040 come out of the corner, come out of the background. 0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:41.880 Stop feeling sorry for yourself in spite of all of 0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:45.160 your mistakes. God it's going to use you to set 0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:48.279 it off. I need some sisters that can set it 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:52.440 off in this place. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.719 yeah yeah yeah yeah. Now, Now everybody in here that's 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.000 a woman is a woman. But then they're amongst the women. 0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:00.960 There are real women there. There there are women. I'm 0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.400 not talking to all you women who never did anything, 0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:06.680 and never smoked anything, and never drink anything, and never 0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:09.279 went anywhere and never been in a club. And even 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.480 by the way, i've any Christian that's wonderful. I'm not 0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.840 against you. I'm proud of you. I'll celebrate you. But 0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.320 there's a reason that some of these broken women that 0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:20.480 were called into the kingdom. Because you're courageous, because you're bold, 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.280 because you say what you think and let the chips 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.480 fall where they may. I want to raise up some 0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:29.440 sassy sisters in this room that can make some knowing. 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:39.800 Let me hear the sassy sisters set it off. God, 0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.240 I think he's about to use what was working against 0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:49.799 you to work for you. He's getting ready to take 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:53.120 you to the next level. So this is a water 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:58.920 pot dropping moment, leaving the lesser for the greater, leaving 0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:02.520 the form of the latter. She now runs into the 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:06.880 city and says, come see a man. She planted a seed. 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:13.879 No wonder Jesus waited for her. He said, I must 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:17.799 need go to Samaria. I have to go to Samaria. 0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:22.239 And then didn't go to Samaria. He just met the 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:30.239 woman from Samaria. He met the woman from Samaria because 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:33.080 all he had to go to Samaria for was to 0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.400 find a woman who was bold enough to set it 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:42.840 off in that city, and she planted a seed. Fast forward, 0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:50.640 we had not heard anything else out of Samaria since 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:55.000 this one wild radical woman has started a little revival 0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:59.879 meeting that caused the men to see the prophets. Fast 0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:05.120 forward to Acts chapter eight, when persecution of rose in Jerusalem. 0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:08.400 All of a sudden it got so nasty. Saul was 0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:14.359 killing and imprisoning so many believers that Philip says, I'm 0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:20.680 going to guess what Samaria? Because God had unfinished business 0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:28.720 in Samaria. Something had been planted in Samaria. Time had passed, 0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:34.719 and now Philip goes to Samaria. The only problem with 0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:39.840 Samaria is that Simon the Sorcerer had set up a 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.480 camp in Samaria and begin to afflict the city. See, 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:48.160 any time the enemy knows that God is going to 0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:51.840 do something great in your life, in your city, in 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:57.120 your church, he will always send Simon the Sorcerer to 0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:01.879 counteract what God is doing in your life. What I'm 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:04.239 trying to get you to see is the reason you're 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:08.640 under attack is because God has started something in your life. 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:14.560 And anytime the enemy sends wheat he will always plan tear. 0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:21.560 Y'all still with me, You're good, you all right? Breathe in, 0:39:21.800 --> 0:39:27.520 breathe out, Shout Holladelujah, because something is about to happen 0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:32.640 in Samaria. Samaria is up under attack by Simon the Sorcerer. 0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:35.160 Now I'm getting ready to go in for the kill. 0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:41.080 Simon has taken over the region, and convince him that 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:45.480 he is some wonder. Simon has taken over the region. 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.160 Now let me show you something about Satanic attack. The 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:55.640 enemy likes to take over territories, what the Bible calls principalities. 0:39:56.719 --> 0:40:01.760 They rule over regions, over cities, over And the enemy 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:06.480 has set himself up in Samaria trying to stop the 0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:11.000 power of God from prevailing in the city and against 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:16.400 all of these forces that have ensnared the city. God 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:23.160 sins Philip Clorida, God God, since Philip watches, I want 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:27.080 to go deeper. The enemy is over a region. He 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:31.759 sets up territories. That's why we call him principalities. He 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:37.400 takes over regions. The spiritual warfare that exists over Charlotte 0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:41.080 is different from the spiritual warfare that exists over Tulsa, 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:45.560 is different from the spiritual warfare that exist over Chicago. 0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:50.239 That's why you can't use a Charlotte weapon against a 0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:55.360 lago spirits. You have to understand the warfare that exists 0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:58.840 over your city. You remember when Jesus went to the 0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:03.080 man who was with demons in Gatherines, and when he 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:06.960 finally cast out the demons, the demons said to Jesus, 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:14.080 suffer us not to leave the region. We've done so 0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:17.400 much work in this territory. We don't mind if we 0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:21.360 have to change vessels, but don't let us leave the region. 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:26.680 There's demonic warfare that takes over areas, and certain areas 0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:32.520 are given over to certain types of perversities. There are 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:38.839 demonic warfares that are over certain families, and certain warfares 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:43.719 have taken over certain families. Grandma got pregnant out of where, 0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:47.439 Mama got pregnant out of water, and now my daughter 0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:50.440 comes in the house and tells me she's pregnant. That's 0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:54.960 a spirit instead of brain over the territory. My daddy 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:57.839 was an alcoholic and I'm a drug adday, and now 0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:02.440 my son has started getting high. That's a regional territorial 0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:06.680 principality that didn't want to let the Johnsons go that 0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.480 didn't want to let the Wilsons go, that didn't want 0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:12.880 to let the Richardsons grow. I know you can't say anything, 0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:17.520 but there are certain things that run in your family. Yeah, 0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:19.560 and you can say. You can look at your sister's 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:22.640 acting just like your auntie, and your auntie's talking just 0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:25.920 like your grandmama, and all of them got the same spirit. 0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:31.600 And you want to break the chain. Oh my god, 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.360 Oh my god, I feel something. I feel something. I 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:39.600 feel something, I feel something, I feel something. Touch your 0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:43.040 neighbor and say break the chain. Yeah, that's why God 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:47.000 save you, to break the chain. That's why Pastor baptize you, 0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:50.160 to break the chain, to bury who you used to 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.120 be so you could rise up into who you're gonna be. 0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:56.920 He baptized you to break the chain that was holding 0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:59.560 you down in your life. Look at your nigh and say, 0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:04.200 I'm a break this chain. My uncle committed suicide, my 0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:09.120 cousin committed suicide, my brother committed suicide. I feel the 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:12.880 spirit of suicide, but I'm going to break the chain. 0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:16.560 Look at your neighbor and say, break the chain. You 0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:18.640 don't even know what kind of chain it is, but 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.640 everybody in the room has got a chain that's got 0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:24.919 a break in order for them to be free. They're 0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.680 a chain that has to break in order for them 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:33.759 to be delivered. Shout, yes, somebody, I'll show you another chain. 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:38.040 Abraham got to Jerrar, and when he got there, he 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:44.400 lied and told the king that his wife was his sister. Okay, 0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:48.080 at the time that Abraham told the lie about Sarah, 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:54.680 Isaac wasn't even born yet. Fast forward, here comes Isaac 0:43:55.239 --> 0:44:00.200 with his wife. Tells the same lie that his father to. Oh, 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:04.120 a lie that he never even heard. But there was 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:08.279 a chain between Abraham and I say so that the 0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:12.160 chain was there, and the same lie was there, and 0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:15.959 the same struggle was there. But something is about die. 0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:19.520 Then let me go deeper. It used to be when 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:22.160 you went to the doctor, the doctor only examine you. 0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:25.600 Now when you go to the doctor, he wants to know. 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:29.680 Did your grandmother have heart trouble? Did your grandfather have 0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:33.799 high blood pressure? Did your grandfather have diabetes? Did your 0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:37.399 father die diabetes? Why does it matter what my grandmother had? 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:40.520 She's dead. I'll tell you what matters. There's a chain 0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:44.960 link between you and your grandmother. There's a chain link 0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.640 in the health of your body. In the wealth of 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:51.080 your mind, in the way you handle emotions. There's a 0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:55.160 chain between the two. If Grandma was prone to depression 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:58.640 and Mama was prone to depression, and now you're sitting 0:44:58.719 --> 0:45:01.879 up here, you couldn't feel it, But now twenty three 0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:05.080 years starting to feel the press. That's not your depression. 0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.640 That's your grandma's depression. Trying to hook of a link 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:14.279 between who you are and who they were. But I 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:18.160 came to serve notice on the devil. The devil is 0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:21.799 a liar. You've rained terror over the city long enough, 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:25.640 you've recabit long enough, You've held us in bond is 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:30.040 long enough. I'm not gonna let my daddy's devil defeat me. 0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:35.400 Oh hell no, there's gonnakay. I've chained the break in 0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:38.440 this place today. I don't know who I'm preaching to, 0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:40.840 and I don't know who God sent me here for, 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:44.160 but something is about to break in your life like 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:47.600 it never broke before. And I command the spirit of 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.800 release to happen in this place. I need about sixty 0:45:52.000 --> 0:45:59.520 seconds of crazy and craze in this place. Yeah yeah, 0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:03.640 yeah yeah. Praise him, Praise him, praise him, praise him, 0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:08.280 praise him, praise him in defiance. Praise him with that intude, 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:13.239 praising with convintion, Praise him with tenacity, praising like your 0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:17.240 main business, Praising like your life depends on it. Praise 0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:20.480 him like you're going to repeal suicide. Craizy, like you're 0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:24.800 coming out of depression, crazy, like you're coming out of promisecurity, crazy, 0:46:24.960 --> 0:46:27.719 like you're coming out of pornogal fa, crazy, like you're 0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:30.960 coming out of adg ur. Praise him crazy, praising. I 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:34.360 will not leave mamausband, I will not abuse my wife, 0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:37.520 I will not beat my child. I'm going to praise 0:46:37.640 --> 0:47:11.160 the change shign out. The reason you couldn't stay in 0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:16.680 Monk's Corner is because you had a devil to fight, 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.040 and everything God did to get you ready was to 0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:22.799 get you to come into an area where the enemy 0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:25.480 had set up camp in a region, and he was 0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:28.640 preparing you in Monk's Corner, getting you ready for what 0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.640 he was going to do down in Charlotte, so the 0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:34.640 yokes could be broken over the lives of the people 0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:37.400 who have been praying and said, I gotta be free, 0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:40.400 I gotta be delivered, and I gotta be whold. And 0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:43.120 the reason there's such an annoying in this church, and 0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:46.160 there's such praise in this church, and there's such deliverance 0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:48.600 in this church. Is because when you got in here, 0:47:48.960 --> 0:47:52.400 something broke in your life. If I got a witness 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:56.120 anywhere in the house, make some noise like your lost shimne. 0:48:02.760 --> 0:48:15.840 So the text sense the Philip went down to Samri. 0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:21.200 It's not like he went strolling down to Samaria, you know, 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:26.480 rather that at all. He didn't come to head a 0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:29.440 cup of tea. You know, he didn't come down there 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:33.400 because he wanted to ride the fairies field in Samaria. 0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:37.560 He was on a mission. When God puts somebody on 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:41.919 a mission, hell gets nervous. When God puts a man 0:48:42.040 --> 0:48:46.640 on a mission, demons begin to troumble. They start trying 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:49.520 to stop the man from getting to where he's trying 0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:52.320 to go. Let me prove it to you. When Jesus 0:48:52.440 --> 0:48:55.560 got ready to go to deliver the man who was 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:59.560 bound in the tomb of Gathererines, on his way to 0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:03.759 the area, a storm arose out of nowhere, and the 0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:08.480 Bible said that the whole ship began to rock and reel. 0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:12.200 And the Bible says that Jesus was asleep in the 0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.360 bottom of the boat, and Peter began to be a 0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:19.440 friend that the whole thing was gonna capsize. Why do 0:49:19.640 --> 0:49:23.160 you think that the storm broke out. The storm broke 0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:26.440 out because the devil knew that Jesus was on his 0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:30.279 way to deliver the man that was found by the 0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:34.839 demonic influencer. And I and I said, Oh, I feel 0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:45.080 like preaching. Oh I feel something in this way. Your 0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:50.600 neighbors say, you came to the right service. Jesus sees 0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:53.279 I's Jesus, I's Jesu. I' chees I changed, I stee 0:49:53.440 --> 0:49:59.880 that's Jesus, Jesus, I Jesu. I's changed. I's cheese. That's Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Jesus. 0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:03.040 Jesus is down in the bottom of the boat, and 0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:06.000 he's resting, and he's resting up because there's gonna be 0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:10.279 a fight. He's resting up because he knows when he 0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:13.439 gets to the destination, he's got a devil to fight. 0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:16.759 In fact, he's got several devils to fight. He's got 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:19.560 legions of the devils to fight, and he's got to 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.400 fight them by himself. And so the Bible said he 0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:25.320 was down in the bottom of the boat. Jesus was 0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:27.880 sleeping the bottom of the boat. Jesus was sleeping at 0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:30.000 the bottom of the boat. Jesus was sleeping in the 0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:32.560 bottom of the boat. Jesus will sleeping in the bottom 0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:35.040 of the boat. Jesus was sleeping the bottom of the 0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:39.080 moat in the middle of a hurricane. What kind of 0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:42.480 Jesus can sleep in the middle of a storm And 0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:45.400 the whole boat is rocking and relling, and the boat 0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:48.840 is filling with water, and neither the winds nor the 0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:55.520 rains had interrupted his rests. Y'all didn't get in it. 0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:58.960 The winds you were blowing, the lightning was flashing, the 0:50:59.080 --> 0:51:02.680 thunder was erupting out of nowhere, and water was filling 0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:05.440 up the boat so bad that Peter was afraid the 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:09.279 boat was gonna go underwater. And Jesus was in the 0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:13.080 hinder parts of the ship. He had to be wet 0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:23.880 This is not the carnival cruise line. He had to 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:30.320 be wetted. And the wind was blowing and the boat 0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:35.560 was rocked, and none of that woke up Jesus. But 0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:45.880 when one of his believers called him, can I go 0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:49.440 off with I want you to know that you got 0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:54.560 the power, so wake up Jesus. Why nobody else can 0:51:55.239 --> 0:52:13.680 did you hide, Lord, that seven people would say just 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:24.560 say say something, Say something. That's why whenever you get depressed, 0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:27.120 that devil don't want you to say nothing. Whenever you're 0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:28.920 going through a test, that devil don't want you to 0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:32.319 say nothing. Whenever you're in great temptation, that devil don't 0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:35.040 want you to say nothing. Whenever your marriage is in trouble, 0:52:35.080 --> 0:52:37.560 that never don't want you to say nothing. Because Hell 0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:40.320 knows that the power of life and death is in 0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:43.480 your tongue. And if you open up your mouth, you 0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:47.400 can wake up Jesus. Like nobody else can waken Jesus. 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:50.839 The wind can't waken him, the waves can't wake him, 0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.719 the storm can't waken up. But I dare you know? 0:53:04.640 --> 0:53:09.719 Do you think that Peter's voice had more decibel impact 0:53:09.880 --> 0:53:19.759 than thunder or light? With nobody else but Jesus. He 0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:28.480 can hear your faintest crime. He can hear a tear 0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:32.440 slide over the bridge of your nose at three o'clock 0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:36.040 in the morning. God is so in tune with you, 0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:40.640 while nothing else can break his rest. If you get 0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:47.399 in trouble, when you are at disease, your disease will 0:53:47.480 --> 0:53:51.239 wake him up. By the way, half of your diseases 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:57.320 are coming from your disease. I speak to every nervous, upset, restless, 0:53:57.440 --> 0:54:01.719 frustrated condition that you have said nothing about that's coming 0:54:01.800 --> 0:54:05.560 out in illnesses and stress and touched and insomnia and 0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:09.919 eating disorders. God's gonna give you a breakthrough today. You're 0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:13.000 not eating because you're hungry. You're not up because you're 0:54:13.040 --> 0:54:16.600 not tired of You're up because you're at this ease. 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:21.080 But God is about to give you some peace today. Somebody, 0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:35.160 hollow piece, Geezus woke up. Jeezus woke up, rose to 0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:39.040 the bower of the ship, in the middle of the 0:54:39.160 --> 0:54:44.320 winds and the waves. He opened his mouth and cleared 0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:49.480 his throat, wiped the sleep out of his eyes, and 0:54:49.640 --> 0:54:54.920 the Bible says he rebuilt the winds and the waves 0:54:55.840 --> 0:55:07.040 and sad peace, peace, be still, Wait a minute, let's 0:55:07.080 --> 0:55:18.320 roll it back. He rebuts, the winds and the waves rebuilt. 0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:25.280 You don't rebuke winds and waves. You might stop winds 0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:29.600 and waves, you might arrest winds and waves. You don't 0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:37.080 rebuke winds and waves. You rebuilt spirits. I came to 0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:40.759 tell you there's a spirit behind your storm. There's a 0:55:40.920 --> 0:55:45.480 spirit behind your distress. There's a spirit behind your dysfunction. 0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:48.919 There's a spirit behind me the problem with your child. 0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.799 That child doesn't need no more of retland, they don't 0:55:51.840 --> 0:55:54.440 need no more meditation, they don't need to be some 0:55:54.680 --> 0:55:57.920 kind of their head. There's a spirit that's after your child. 0:55:58.320 --> 0:56:00.399 You could put away half of that man, and I said, 0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:06.080 had rebuilt that spirit. The idle said, he rebuilt the 0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:11.560 winds and the waves. And when the winds and the 0:56:11.640 --> 0:56:16.640 waves heard the voice of the master who made them, 0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:25.480 he overruled the spirit that sent them, and the winds 0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:30.400 got slain in the spirit, and the waves lay prostrate 0:56:30.480 --> 0:56:35.400 in the floor. And there was a great calm in 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:40.920 the tempest of the sea. And they sailed on without incident. 0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:47.840 Because God always gets to the core of a situation. 0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:54.120 Watch me, we pray about the symptoms of a situation. 0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:58.920 You ask God to fix the symptom. But God is 0:56:59.000 --> 0:57:04.240 after the court of the situation. Who am I helping today? 0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:15.080 This same God is the God that sent Philip to 0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:24.120 Samaria to take back the region. This is not just 0:57:24.440 --> 0:57:34.040 about you. God wants to take back the region. He 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:37.960 wants to take back the neighborhood. He wants to take 0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:42.520 back your bloodline. And the reason the enemy is fighting 0:57:42.600 --> 0:57:45.920 you so hard is not just you. It's your daughter 0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:50.520 and your son and your grandchildren that are at stake 0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:55.400 because God wants to take back the territory. I feel 0:57:55.560 --> 0:57:59.600 the kind of power that will release suits inner rationally, 0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:02.480 that will break the me. You don't quotever your minding, 0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:06.400 over your spelling. I need some real praisers. I don't 0:58:06.440 --> 0:58:10.320 mean no cute crazers. I mean some real praisers. Somebody 0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:13.200 who will praising for your daughter, had praised him for 0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:16.800 your son, had praised them for your children, had praised 0:58:16.840 --> 0:58:19.440 them for your sister's children. I want to give you 0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:23.120 thirty minutes to praise him like you're expecting Jesus to 0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:26.640 show up in the room right now. Off in your mouth, 0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:29.600 to move your hands, to move your feet, move your knees, 0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:32.640 or move your nibs. To move your eyes some your eyes, 0:58:32.800 --> 0:58:36.320 move your jaws, make sometime. Let everything that have broath 0:58:36.720 --> 0:59:15.040 prazy preacher. For years, For years, Pump stayed under the house. 0:59:17.600 --> 0:59:21.160 You're with me. He would run out in the bar 0:59:23.040 --> 0:59:26.720 and the chain would pull him back. He would run 0:59:26.760 --> 0:59:30.600 out of the bar, and the chain would pull him back. 0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:34.280 Somebody would drive off in the car. He'd run up there, 0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:40.200 and the chain would pull him back. And because it 0:59:40.320 --> 0:59:44.080 had pulled him back so many times, we thought the 0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:54.880 chain was stronger than the dog. Somebody has tried to 0:59:55.040 --> 0:59:58.520 go forward, but every time you tried to go forward, 0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:02.280 the chain would pull your back. You're made of New 1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:06.680 Year's resolusen, but the chain would pull you back. And 1:00:06.880 --> 1:00:10.640 you're starting to think that the chain is stronger than you. 1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:15.040 But one day I saw something in front of him 1:00:15.680 --> 1:00:18.960 that was stronger than what was behind him. And when 1:00:19.040 --> 1:00:21.520 he ran out in the chain trying to pull him, 1:00:21.880 --> 1:00:27.000 he snarled and said, not this time. Somebody said, not 1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:32.560 this time. You can't have my daughter. You can't to 1:00:32.680 --> 1:00:37.360 have my son, you can't have my marriage, you can't 1:00:37.440 --> 1:00:43.160 to have my life. To clown you something in this room. 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:51.200 I'm gonna pray them till my daughter gets to live 1:00:51.280 --> 1:00:54.240 in her. I'm gonna pray them her till my son 1:00:54.440 --> 1:00:58.800 comes home. I'm gonna pray them till my marriage is here. 1:00:59.560 --> 1:01:07.080 Lift your boys, lose some mine, she have, y'all gonna well, blassy. 1:01:36.600 --> 1:01:42.360 When Philip got to some barrier. He turned the city 1:01:43.200 --> 1:01:46.840 upside down. Since you're all standing, I can't tell you 1:01:46.960 --> 1:01:52.000 to stand, so turn around in a circle. God is 1:01:52.120 --> 1:01:56.160 getting ready to turn things upside down in your life. 1:01:56.760 --> 1:02:00.480 He's getting ready to shake things up. Everything that was 1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:04.280 tied up, It's about to break loose in your life. 1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:10.000 My God, wait a minute before I'm praising for what 1:02:10.160 --> 1:02:12.920 he's about to do. I want to praise him for 1:02:13.080 --> 1:02:17.480 the persecutioner that brought me the way I am. If 1:02:17.520 --> 1:02:20.320 I had to have been hated like that, if I 1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:22.960 had to have been an attack like that, if I 1:02:23.120 --> 1:02:26.480 had to cry it out like that, I wouldn't have 1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:41.320 had the power taibody of the Holy Ghost. Something it's 1:02:41.400 --> 1:03:09.720 about it's a snap. I didn't come to preach in 1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:13.440 this last service. I came to bring a prophetic utterance 1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:16.840 in this last service. Something is about to snap in 1:03:16.960 --> 1:03:20.320 your life. Something that's been pulling you back for years 1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:24.120 is about to snap in your life. You've been praising 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:27.600 God over top of pain, but the pain is about 1:03:27.680 --> 1:03:31.560 to snap in your life. I don't know who I'm 1:03:31.680 --> 1:03:35.640 preaching to, but something is about to snap in your life, 1:03:36.200 --> 1:03:39.560 and you're gonna thank God for the trouble that push 1:03:39.720 --> 1:03:42.960 you over the edge because it has driven you to 1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:47.160 a breaking point, and something is about to break loose 1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:51.920 in your life. If I'm preaching to you, how as 1:03:52.000 --> 1:04:18.360 a boy, when Philip came to Samaria, there was demonic influence, 1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:24.040 There was possessions, and the Bible said, there was sickness, 1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:37.040 and there was disease. And God sent one man against 1:04:37.240 --> 1:04:46.800 a city of trouble. Stop pastoring this church and pasted 1:04:46.920 --> 1:05:01.280 the city. This is not about a church, It's about 1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:07.400 a city. It's about a city. And every satellite church 1:05:08.160 --> 1:05:15.960 is a cell. And I came to activate every cell 1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:21.160 in every city that's watching me online. There's a reason 1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:26.520 that a cell has been planted in your area, because 1:05:26.600 --> 1:05:31.000 God is about to activate you like a terrorist, to 1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:35.280 go into the enemy's camp and take back what he 1:05:35.480 --> 1:05:40.400 stole from you. Every thing that the devil stole is 1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:44.040 coming back. I don't know who I'm preaching to, and 1:05:44.200 --> 1:05:47.880 I better stop, because I feel my old preacher standing 1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:51.440 up inside of me. And what I feel right now 1:05:52.240 --> 1:05:55.840 ain't even in style no more. But I feel the 1:05:56.160 --> 1:06:01.280 power of the Holy culture, the kind of power that 1:06:01.600 --> 1:06:06.800 resurrected Jesus up out of the grave. Somebody in this 1:06:07.240 --> 1:06:27.240 room throw your hands up a shot shot. I want 1:06:27.320 --> 1:06:31.840 you to understand every city, every area, every neighborhood you're in, 1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:35.320 every place God puts you to work. He did not 1:06:35.600 --> 1:06:42.520 send you there to make money. He sent you there 1:06:42.720 --> 1:06:46.360 as a witness in that area, to turn that area 1:06:46.680 --> 1:06:51.040 inside out. God to give you money anywhere He told 1:06:51.120 --> 1:06:54.640 his disciples money ain't nothing. I'll put your money in 1:06:54.760 --> 1:06:58.880 a fish's mouth for money is not your problem. You're 1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:02.439 not there to make money. You are assignment. And when 1:07:02.560 --> 1:07:07.360 this service is over, I'm going to release you to 1:07:07.600 --> 1:07:10.800 go in the places you've never call her and see 1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:14.720 the power of God move like it's never moved before. 1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:17.800 Lay hands on the sister next to you and the 1:07:17.920 --> 1:07:20.720 brother next to you, and say you're ready. Get ready, 1:07:20.800 --> 1:07:24.440 Get ready. God is getting ready to take you somewhere. 1:07:24.880 --> 1:07:28.200 God is getting ready to use you somewhere. God is 1:07:28.280 --> 1:07:32.440 getting ready to release you somewhere. I feel the annoyedy 1:07:32.640 --> 1:07:37.760 you of the Holy Ghost in this place. I'm gonna 1:07:37.840 --> 1:07:41.960 take my seat, but I feel a spirit of release 1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:47.520 coming in this place. Right now. Behold, I give you 1:07:47.840 --> 1:07:52.480 power over the head, and then power all of your problems, 1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:58.200 power all your fear, power over your situation. I'm tied 1:07:58.360 --> 1:08:02.000 of counseling her what we ought to test out to 1:08:02.720 --> 1:08:07.400 get back down, Get out of my mind, Get out 1:08:07.440 --> 1:08:11.880 of my benny, get out of my body, get out 1:08:11.960 --> 1:08:16.160 of my sphearhead, open your mouth and het out for 1:08:16.240 --> 1:08:30.679 your to seven people and tell them you're a chain breaker. 1:08:31.520 --> 1:08:38.759 You're a chain breaker. You're chain breaker. You're a chain breaker. 1:08:39.280 --> 1:08:42.640 Something getting ready to break in your house, break in 1:08:42.840 --> 1:08:47.720 your ministry, break in your body, break in your inner chat, 1:08:48.200 --> 1:08:52.080 break in your mind. Get you're ready for you to break? 1:08:52.680 --> 1:09:27.679 Shout out the God. When Filling hit Samaria with his ministry, 1:09:28.800 --> 1:09:36.560 he revolutionized the city so much so that Simon the 1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:49.519 Sorcerer wanted what he had. Get ready for the people 1:09:50.600 --> 1:10:20.000 who once hated you to want what you have. There's 1:10:20.080 --> 1:10:27.160 a reason you couldn't win them. There's a reason nothing 1:10:27.240 --> 1:10:35.719 you did could please him. There's a reason they couldn't 1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:40.320 accept you. God meant for you to be alone and 1:10:40.520 --> 1:10:44.960 lonely and walk by yourself, because He never meant for 1:10:45.160 --> 1:11:00.960 you to become them. He meant for them to become you. 1:11:07.280 --> 1:11:14.720 And you have finally reached the season that those who 1:11:14.840 --> 1:11:23.680 once fought you are now going to seek you. And 1:11:23.880 --> 1:11:31.559 you've got to be healed enough and feel safe enough 1:11:33.880 --> 1:11:39.880 to let people in that you've been scared of, because 1:11:39.920 --> 1:11:44.160 God is going to use you to minister to people 1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:50.080 who maligned you, and you've got to know who you 1:11:50.240 --> 1:11:57.320 are well enough to be ready to receive them, because 1:11:57.400 --> 1:12:07.960 you're bigger than that. You're bigger than that. What's this church? 1:12:11.000 --> 1:12:14.320 The last verse of the text says that when Philip 1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:21.040 hit Samaria, he rebuked the devils, he healed the diseases, 1:12:22.520 --> 1:12:30.680 and there was great joy. Not in the church in 1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:47.040 the city. You have not been sent to churches, but regions. 1:12:51.000 --> 1:12:54.960 So when the region is in crisis, you must speak 1:12:56.520 --> 1:13:03.360 because your vision cannot be contained by walls or campuses. 1:13:06.240 --> 1:13:09.880 The Bible said, the kingdoms of this world have become 1:13:10.000 --> 1:13:15.280 the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ. This 1:13:15.479 --> 1:13:19.760 is about kingdoms. Now something is about to shift. It. 1:13:20.640 --> 1:13:26.960 Something is about to shift. Oh Lord, something is about 1:13:28.640 --> 1:13:33.760 Something is about to shift. Can you feel it? Can 1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:37.320 you feel it? Can you feel it? How many are glad? 1:13:37.400 --> 1:13:44.639 You're in this service right now on every campus everywhere. 1:13:44.760 --> 1:13:49.439 This word is being streamed everywhere you're watching on Facebook 1:13:49.520 --> 1:13:53.360 live and everywhere else. A chain is about to break 1:13:55.000 --> 1:13:59.920 off of your life like it has never broken before. 1:14:03.000 --> 1:14:10.479 Take your city, Take your region, think the region, Take 1:14:10.520 --> 1:14:15.960 your region. You gotta get out of thinking your vision 1:14:16.560 --> 1:14:23.800 fits within the topography of your walls. You're bigger than that. 1:14:26.240 --> 1:14:31.759 You must speak to regions a Shia. You must speak 1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:37.040 to territories. You must speak to areas that are desperate 1:14:37.400 --> 1:14:44.240 to hear your voice beyond your walls. These are not 1:14:44.680 --> 1:14:51.720 your congregations. These are your disciples, and everywhere you send them. 1:14:58.720 --> 1:15:03.439 The people God gave you are not your destination. They 1:15:03.479 --> 1:15:09.880 are your transportation to go into all the world and 1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:18.519 all the world's systems. And there is a shift coming 1:15:20.439 --> 1:15:24.920 in this place. And I can feel it from the 1:15:25.040 --> 1:15:28.719 crown of my head to the souls of my feet. 1:15:33.200 --> 1:15:36.960 Some of you, you're in that family to turn that 1:15:37.080 --> 1:15:40.800 family upside down. And you don't have to argue, and 1:15:40.840 --> 1:15:42.800 you don't have to fight, and you don't have to 1:15:42.880 --> 1:15:46.920 be super deep or super spiritual. All you have to 1:15:47.000 --> 1:15:48.840 do is just let the glory of the love of 1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:51.920 God flow out of you in such a way. You're 1:15:51.960 --> 1:15:54.360 not gonna have to approach them. They're gonna approach you 1:15:55.200 --> 1:15:57.880 to see what it is you've got that gave you 1:15:58.040 --> 1:16:04.320 that kind of peace and all I need to do 1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:11.760 is break the link that yet connects you to a 1:16:11.920 --> 1:16:17.000 family or a region that is dysfunctional, that's trying to 1:16:17.080 --> 1:16:23.200 hold your neck back from the next dimension. You are 1:16:23.280 --> 1:16:28.519 not fighting with your devil. It's your mama's devil and 1:16:28.680 --> 1:16:33.200 your grandmama's devil, and your grandfather's devil, and the devil 1:16:33.280 --> 1:16:35.600 of your family, and the devil of your region. And 1:16:35.720 --> 1:16:38.200 the mentality from where you grew up and where you 1:16:38.360 --> 1:16:41.640 came from, say that the set of a principality. And 1:16:41.880 --> 1:16:49.000 because you are straining the chain, he does not want 1:16:49.040 --> 1:17:03.439 to let you go because if you get loose. If 1:17:03.840 --> 1:17:06.519 I'm not talking about playing church and putting on games 1:17:06.560 --> 1:17:14.000 and play, but if you actually get loose everything connected 1:17:14.080 --> 1:17:17.880 to you, it's going to be loose. By the power 1:17:17.960 --> 1:17:26.000 of God. Join hands. When somebody leaving no one in touch, 1:17:30.439 --> 1:17:36.280 pop pop that chain like it was a popsicle stick. 1:17:40.000 --> 1:17:47.840 And when it pops, he started running. I'm gonna count 1:17:47.840 --> 1:17:54.240 to three. And when I get to three, everything physically 1:17:56.920 --> 1:18:02.000 ailments in your body, afflictions that have attacked your health, 1:18:05.479 --> 1:18:10.800 every mental and emotional disorder, every nervous condition, every bipolar, 1:18:10.960 --> 1:18:16.599 every neurotic, every distressed, every anger, everything, that has ever 1:18:16.920 --> 1:18:22.400 held you. I'm believing God, it's going to break loose. 1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:30.040 The storm cannot stop you. Greiter is he that is 1:18:30.160 --> 1:18:34.640 in you than he that's in the world. Squeeze that 1:18:34.760 --> 1:18:39.240 hand you're holding. The enemy doesn't want her to have peace. 1:18:39.960 --> 1:18:44.439 He doesn't want him to have peace because they are 1:18:44.520 --> 1:18:55.280 a chain breaker. Somebody slipped back from the first service 1:18:55.360 --> 1:18:57.600 to be in the second service. Something just told you 1:18:57.760 --> 1:19:00.519 to stay there. God's got something else for you. You're 1:19:00.560 --> 1:19:04.160 in the right place at the right time. We're getting 1:19:04.200 --> 1:19:07.880 ready to pop something in this place. Hollylujah. If your 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:10.720 on line getting ready for it to pop, it's going 1:19:10.800 --> 1:19:27.760 to pop. The thing you're fighting is not yours. It's 1:19:27.880 --> 1:19:34.639 passed through your family and your bloodline. But today it's 1:19:34.680 --> 1:19:40.240 gonna pop. It's in your way. It's in your way 1:19:40.360 --> 1:19:43.519 of your destiny. It's in your way of your future. 1:19:44.080 --> 1:19:47.080 It's in the way of your prophecy. Squeeze that ham 1:19:48.479 --> 1:19:53.680 family dysfunctions. Getting ready to pop in this place. Oh, 1:19:53.880 --> 1:19:56.559 this is a big service. I'm not talking about the people. 1:19:56.800 --> 1:19:59.599 I'm talking about the glory. It's getting ready to pop 1:19:59.680 --> 1:20:02.960 in this place. Some of you came out of regions 1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:06.160 with attitudes and dispositions, and every now and then you 1:20:06.280 --> 1:20:09.080 act like where you came from. But squeeze that hand. 1:20:09.160 --> 1:20:14.719 The chain is about to pop. What are you ready 1:20:14.800 --> 1:20:18.479 for it? Do you believe that God is bigger than 1:20:18.520 --> 1:20:21.559 anything that ever held you, that ever had you tied up? 1:20:22.040 --> 1:20:24.320 Do you believe that He's great than anything you've been 1:20:24.400 --> 1:20:27.200 feeling in your body, in your mind, and your soul 1:20:27.320 --> 1:20:30.160 and your spirit. Do you believe it? Do you believe it? 1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:32.000 Do you believe it? Do you believe it? Do you 1:20:32.080 --> 1:20:35.360 believe it? Do you believe it?
