You know, I send green from our pastors, Pastor Terray Roberts and Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts and even right now, just let us know in the chat where you are tuning in from, because I recognize our global family. Hallelujah, you say, I'm so excited for this message, because there was a message that the Lord gave me even before I started to prepare and even before we dive into it. I just want us to pray, Heavenly Father, we thank you. We can never. Get to a place where we have enough of you, and so Lord God, we are just so excited to dive. Into you even deeper. Lord, we pray that you will take over this moment, that holy spirit, that we are in partnership with you, not just for the word to be delivered, but for the word to be received. And so, Lord God have your way. We thank you for this day and we thank you for the fruit of this word in. Jesus' mighty name. Amen, family, I want you to just for you as you're taking notes, I'm not gonna guess if. You're taking notes. I believe you're taking notes. But as you're taking notes, we're gonna read Jeremiah six' ten and, normally LIKE i love The New King james, version BUT i saw this in the message, translation. And it just captured my. Heart and So jeremiah six 'y ten it says, This i've got something to. Say is anybody? LISTENING i have a warning to. Post will anyone? Notice it's. Hopeless their ears are stuffed with, wax death as a, post blind as a, Bat it's. Hopeless they've tuned. Out, god they don't want to hear from. Me you see another translation that part they don't want to hear from? Me it actually says they have no delight in my. Words, now as you're taking, notes my message for today is anyone? Listening is anybody? Listening you? SEE i don't know about, you but have you ever maybe you've been or you have experienced having a conversation with someone and they're tuned out and you only recognize they're tuned out by how they. RESPOND i have a, friend a dear friend of. Mine anytime she says to, me, man that's. Crazy just like, THAT i, said, girl you're tuned, out because What i'm saying is not even, crazy it's quite. Emotional But i've been that person And i've received it as. Well when someone is having a conversation with us and we're just. Busy maybe we were distracted by a text, message or we're On instagram or on social, media or we're just so lost in thought about something that we're not present in that, moment and when it's time for us to, respond we just go to our default. Setting, wow, man that's. CRAZY i don't know what your default setting. Is when someone is having a deep conversation with you and you tune, out and you're not tuning out because it was, intentional but in the, moment you were so, much you were so consumed with your stuff that you are not present for what they were. Saying You, see when we think about moments like, THIS i, wonder you, know is this what we also do with The? Lord? Right and this could even sound for someone. Listening you're, like, Look i'm not trying to Tune god. Out a matter of, Fact i'm trying to hear what he's. Saying what do you Mean i'm tuning him out WITH i feel like he's not even talking to. Me you, SEE i had a. Vision The lord gave me this, vision and in the, vision it was the word. Death and WHEN i saw that word, death the word d was was in a red. Font it was like there was a there was a highlight with that. Word And i'm gonna circle back on why this was so, important this. Message but The lord began to show me this like when he showed me, that then he began to speak to me about Why he's showing it to. Me and WHAT i understood is that there are many that. You you feel this sense of, urgency you feel this burden on your, heart that there is something The Holy spirit wants to reveal to. You there is something The lord wants to reveal to. You maybe that's not how you have described what is, happening but you there, is there Is you're not your you feel, restless you feel as though where you are it's nothing about you, know not being where you, are but you know that there is something that is about to, happen that needs to happen because of where your life is. Heading there is a word that you. Need and AS i, saw AS i saw this sense of urgency that is happening Within god's, PEOPLE i recognize that on the other side of it is to listen to the voice Of. God it is to listen to What god wants to say in this. Moment but you see Something i've recognized about The lord is that based on the weight of what he wants to tell, you he has to break you out of your, routine out of your, norm because as, humans we are creatures of. Habit the moment something holy becomes a, routine it becomes ordinary to. Us have you thought about The. ISRAELITES i, mean can you imagine manna from? Heaven food from heaven just show? Up you, know nothing of such has ever happened. Before then. They were in the wilderness and they're, complaining, like, man how are we gonna? Eat And moses is, like you know What god got. Us there's gonna be, manna food just gonna fall from the sky and feed. Us that is, wow that is. Supernatural if we saw food coming down from the sky in perfect, condition we would be, like oh My, god if matter of, fact we will Say jesus is coming, tomorrow that this is so. HOLY i don't even want to eat, it matter of, FACT i just want to stare at. It but when it became a routine for, them when every, day, manner every, day food fell from heaven every single, day they started to treat it as. Ordinary all of a, sudden the people who were once grateful That god in his supernatural, ability was able to provide food in a way that is not possible by. Man they began to, Vent they began to complain, that you know, what it's better we go back To egypt where we were in. Bondage it is better we go back to the place we cried out from That god save, us because now that we have Encountered god and it has become a, routine now we are treating it as, ordinary looking for the next, thing and So god recognizes that we are creatures of. Habit even though what brought us to this moment that we are in right now in your, life what brought you to this stage That god has set before you right now in your, life was. Holy but when holy becomes. Your, routine it starts to feel. Ordinary So god has to break you out of your. Norm god has to break you out of your patterns to get a word to. You you, see the word Of god is so, critical it is so vital because the word Of, god it is the creative force Of. God when we think about, It The bible says In john one one in the beginning was The, word and The word was With, god and The word Was. God all things were made through The. Word everything that is seen was made through and for the. Word when we talk about the, genesis when we think about the creation of, light for, example When god, said let there be, light and then the scripture, says and there was, light and that word let there be light was When god was literally, saying light revealed. Yourself and this is something that has stunned a lot of scientists because they're, like there's no way that light could be trapped in, darkness because darkness is merely the absence of, Light so how could it be that light was trapped in. Darkness but it's not that light was trapped in. Darkness light was trapped in The word Of. God when he released the, word he released. Light you, see The word Of god. Releases it creates it manifest and so when you want to see change, happen the word is what gets us pregnant for What god wants to. Birth the word is when a word comes to, you it is almost Like heaven is coming in. You it's. You there's a oneness with you and What god wants to do in the world that you become pregnant with the kingdom that wants to be manifested on earth and so The word is. Everything so when we start to sense that there is Something god wants to, do there is Something god wants to, say and this could feel, interesting. Right you could be, wondering, like but If god is speaking to you that he wants to say, something why didn't he just say? It it just sounds quite, ironic. Right but then you think about a man Named. Moses moses was a man who literally The lord will say to, Him, moses there is SOMETHING i want to tell, You, MOSES i want to give you The Ten. Commandments in order for me to do, THIS i want you to come up To Mount sinai and when you meet me. THERE i would give this to. You there were at least in The, bible it's at least recorded eight times When moses had to go up to the mountain to meet with The. Lord this was not no easy. Journey that mountain is known to be at least a three hour hike. Uphill it costs something To moses to do. That but you will be, wondering but why is it That moses heard the voice Of god telling HIM i need you to come up to the mountain to actually access something deeper in. Me because white where you Are god could be telling you there's SOMETHING i need to share with, you but it's so weighty that if your environment is not equipped for WHAT i want to tell, you you will do nothing with. This you will not perceive What i'm. SAYING i will be, speaking but you're not. Listening and in order to get your, ATTENTION i need you to break out of your routine AND i want to talk to you today about some key areas that we don't even recognize that cause spiritual. Deafness you, see there are many ways. That The lord speaks to. US i mean the general. Way you could be reading Your bible and The lord is literally speaking to you from the word, Right but. There are ways The lord also speaks to us through our. Senses. Right for some, people you might recognize that you know you Sense god's worth through your, emotions right when you have shared emotions With god concerning a. Decision that's what many of us CALL i don't have peace about this when something you're about to do something and you're, like, OH i don't feel peace on. THIS i FEEL i actually feel. AGITATED i feel angry about this Decision i'm about to make because you are Sensing god's emotion concerning what that could do in your. Life and then there's some decisions you're, like oh my, GOSH i feel the peace of The lord in this and it could make absolutely no sense to, you but you feel the peace of The. Lord so you can Sense god's word through your. Emotions you can Sense god's work through your. Sights that's when you see visions or you have. Dreams you can Sense god's words through your inner. Knowwhere, right that's when you have this conviction of something that you must do and you have the faith to do it. RIGHT i mean a great example are The. Disciples many of them Follow jesus without any any full understanding of what they were about to get themselves. Into there was just this conviction that gave them the faith to, know IF i walk away from my, Business i'll be. Fine he is the ONE i must. Follow So god can communicate to you through your inner know. Where god could communicate to you through your inner, ear where you begin to sense and hear The Holy spirit speak to you about the things concerning your, life and will always be things that will call you. Higher it will be things that will challenge you to be more Christ. Like so there are many ways That god speaks to. Us but all of this seems to not bring clarity into your. Now and for some of, you you know you're given going. Further you're, Like, GOD i want to be more. Sensitive you're, worshiping your, praying you're, fasting and it still feels like you're not receiving. Clarity this burden is not lifting off of, You this understanding of a sense of urgency is not shaking off of. You and you're, Wondering, god is it that you just don't want to speak to? Me but why DO i feel this? Way and that's WHAT i want to speak into. Today you, see when we talk about, deafness spiritual, deafness it really points to the inability to receive what The Holy spirit is trying to. Communicate and WHEN i talked to you earlier about that word d being, highlighted The lord began to show me different things that causes us to be deaf To his. Voice and the first, thing, family this would sound very, common but we don't always apply it in the way we say, it but it's. Distraction, now when we say the word, distraction it sometimes gives this negative, idea and. Because it comes with this negative. Connotation we don't recognize it in the most practical. Ways you're, like oh my, GOSH i don't want to be, distracted because we think that being, distracted, well some of us think that being distracted means that. We're entertaining the wrong. Things but distraction slipping is anything that takes you away from giving something your full. Attention and so you can be distracted by a, job you can be distracted by a. Relationship and in the context of listening to the voice Of, god WHAT i mean by this is that you can be so overwhelmed by the good things happening in your life that you don't recognize that you are just living in the default of your day to. Day there's so much going on that you're just, LIKE i just got To i'm just living in the routine of my day to day that you have not taken the time to actually just sit and, Say, god what is it that you might be trying to communicate to? Me or not even? Trying Because god is always. Speaking but what is it That i'm not perceiving because my mind is focused on everything else around. Me you, see as The lord. Was teaching me, this he was also speaking to me because The lord showed me, That, stephanie there is also SOMETHING i need to tell, you AND i just don't need you know the time that you give me in the. Morning the first of, all the beauty About god is that you could talk To god at any time, anywhere but intentional, communion when you want to receive From, god that is. Different moses could speak To god anytime. Anywhere but When god needed to Give moses something, weighty he, said meet me In Mount sinai because there's SOMETHING i need to give. YOU i know you can, declare you can, speak and, yeah you would hear me say a few. Things but when there is something of, wait there is something monumental that will transform how you, lead how you do. LIFE i need you to meet, me and meeting me means you need to remove yourself from anything that. Is a baggage in this. Moment what does that look like in your? Life i'll tell you in my. Life you see when The lord, Says, STEPHANIE i don't just need a few. Hours What i'm about to tell you is going to bring a shift in your. LIFE i need your, day and he showed me BECAUSE i mostly work from, home so at HOME i have. A, routine, right that's the. TRUE i have a routine about my. Day there's a TIME i know to wake, up to be in, prayer to spend time with The. Lord But i'm already programmed to think About, okay i have several Things i'm working, on so by this, Time i'm gonna do. This this, Time i'm gonna do. That so When i'm in my, house even though this is a home THAT i pray AND i, worship but my home reminds me of my. Patterns and The lord showed Me. Stephanie but for WHAT i want to say to, YOU i need you to get out of your. Home so you know WHAT i did It God, ONLINE i started looking for hotels That i'm just gonna go and it's gonna be me and The. Lord and the beauty is of this is that this is Not it's not, like oh my, gosh every day of your life you need to live like this isolated. Island, no there are moments where something monumental is about to happen in your life And god needs you to come. Up he needs you to come out and, up come out of your routine and come up to meet with. Me because What i'm about to tell you in this one setting could impact the next five years of your, life could impact the next seven years of your. Life we're gonna talk every single, day but there is SOMETHING i need. To download to. You and it's weighty and it's not something you can just, easily you, know just be like and While i'm in, Journaling, lord what is? That? Oh? Bill got it? Good when you think about is there are times That moses will be on the mountain forty days to receive just two, things two tablets of stone that had commandments on, it but forty days to receive. That and it will cost you. Something i'm not. Saying you know how to find this in your comfort sometimes and costing you. Something could even be a day away that you just, need a day that you silence yourself from, work you silence yourself from, everything and, Say, god it's me and you right, now what is it that you want to download to me about the next whatever years of my? Life because for many of, you where you are right now was connected to a vision and instructions that The lord gave. You there were instructions that The lord gave me that brought me to this. Moment there were words that The lord that it came from a place of consecration With. God and what Does god need you to consecrate yourself for about Where he's propelling you. To you, see at the. Start of this, Year i'm holding onto this so dearly The lord began to speak to me about twenty twenty two being a year we embrace the, shift and the shift will come in many, ways a shift in your, authority a shift in your, responsibilities a shift in your. Identity but all of this is revealed and released through The. Word you see some of you even where you are right. Now you're in a, city you're in a, country and you keep sensing That god is about to shake you out of. It but it's not just for you to move into another, city into another, state into another. Country every time you're going into a new, territory you need to know. Your assignment for the. Territory if, not what is in that territory that is against you coming could destroy. You you just don't go. Places that is why even in the, scriptures When paul was going Into peter was going into a sudden, territory The Holy spirit didn't allow. Him The bible. Actually says that The Holy spirit forbade him from going into that region that The Holy spirit did not allow, him Because, PETER i, know you know we out here spread the gospel, everywhere but this territory is not for. You somebody else is assigned to this. Place you're in a place in your life and you're feeling That god is about to shift In we already see it in. Culture society is already. SHIFTING i, mean we thought we were getting into a new normal and all of a, sudden you, know domestic flights are having international flight fee Energy, right culture is shifting. Again But god is about to shift. Us and you need if you're sensing What i'm, saying BECAUSE i know as you're listening to this message That god ordained for you to hear, this because As he showed this to, me hit. Me there are times where you. Just need to remove yourself from distractions and, Say, god it's me and. You my day is, free my day is. Clear the same way you have vacation to, rest you have a vacation to sit with The lord and, Say, god speak to me about the Decisions i'm about to make concerning my life in this. Season speak to me about the Decisions i'm about to make concern in the next few years of my, life because Even i'll give you an. Example there was this. Project that came in and WHEN i saw the, PROJECT i was so. EXCITED i was, Like oh my, gosh it's about to be. Amazing everything about it looked great on, paper AND i was, Just, oh coon't wait to jump. In and every TIME i want to, Respond i'm Hearing god tell, me, no That's, stephanie you are not going to do. This And i'm just, like but you, KNOW i, mean, like, wow this is. Great, god this is. Amazing And he's, like, no, no not at. All this is Actually i'm deviating a little, bit but it will. Connect but he was, like you're not gonna do. This And i'm, Like, god but, Why and he, Says, stephanie this is actually gonna be a distraction and a. Hindrance you. See our pastor has a book coming Out. Balance if you don't have, it pre order. It but in the book there's a chapter when he talks about the power of no right that when when you make yourself available to, everything you could actually hinder yourself from the bigger things That god has for. You and The lord said to Me, Stephanie you're not gonna take this because if you take, this when WHAT i have for you opens, up you will not be available to. It and the reason Actually i'm giving this example is because there are certain things that you must have a sensitivity to with The lord to Know, god what does this look? Like what is the, vision what is the, objective what is the what is the purpose of this season in my? Life right? NOW i need to see this next five years the way you see. It. Lord he wants to say something to, you but he needs you to, listen and it may cost you, something, family but you have to recognize What god says to you in your mourning prayer that maybe there's something that is heavier That he needs to tell, you and those ten minutes you allocate for. Him is not gonna do it right. Now number two is. Desire, now desire is a beautiful, thing Right the desire is supposed to be this beautiful thing because desire speaks to. Expectation desire speaks to. Faith you know there are two. SCRIPTURES i know they hear, that even just to share with you as you're taking. Notes psalms thirty. Seven four says this delight yourself in delight yourself also in The, lord and he shall give you the desires of your. Heart that when we delight ourselves In, god he begins to put within us the things that we ought to. Desire and Then psalms one forty five nineteen says this he will fulfill the desire of those who fear. Him he also will hear their cry and save. Them you, see first of, all not only Would god give you a, desire but he would even fulfill that. Desire what does this, mean, Family that desires also speak To god's purpose for. You it speaks to the plans That god has for, you and he wants you to also desire that. Thing that's why he gives you what to, desire Because he's given you a sneak peek in what he has for your. Future he's given you a sneak peek of the promises he has stored up for. You and he needs you to come in agreement with, him because The bible says can two walk together except they. Agree so When god wants to do a new thinion in your, life you begin to notice it by the. Desires you start to have the desires that just came like you're, like, WAIT i was not even thinking about. This all of a, sudden NOW i have this draw towards this. Thing god has given, you a sneak. Pig but, first it, says as you delight yourself and The, lord he gives you the desires of your, heart because they're also worldly, desires right and worldly desires is not like a bad thing or, whatever but it just speaks to a very selfish. Intent but, now the Reason i'm sharing this is that for many of, us we come into this place where you know, What we are filled with desires that The lord has put in our. Heart but all of a, sudden we start to worship it and not the. Giver we start to be so fixated on the desire and not the one through which it comes. From and when The lord began to talk to me about this whole essence of. Desire this is a. Scripture write this down In philippians three. Nineteen it talks about the people whose appetite became their. God it, says and their appetite was Their. God that in one moment The lord is, like oh my, GOSH i have this beautiful promise for, You and the next moment you are worshiping the promise over the. Promiser how many times do we do? That how many? Times because this is the whole essence of. Disappointment this is where disappointment comes. From and it comes from that because not only do we begin to worship the, promise we put a timeline on the, promise as though we are the originators of this, promise and we, say, oh my, GOSH i desire, this you know, What i'm going to put a date on, it not recognizing that even the desire is Already god showing you what is. Yours but to trust in his timing and to trust in What he's. Doing and While i'm saying this to, you because you see at the end of. This, MESSAGE i believe that The Holy spirit is going to search our hearts and to begin to reveal and approve what are the things that could be causing spiritual? Deafness and the thing That god wants to, say could it be that it is a? Desire because you, see, family anything that you meditate, on anything that you're fixated, on is. Worship and so when all you're fixated on is this, desire you begin to worship. It and when you worship, it the voice of your desire is what begins to lead your. Life it becomes amplified and the voice of The lord is dull. Because you're driven by your. Wants have you ever met someone who is so driven by this goal that they will compromise even their own integrity to go after, it because it is the voice of their desire that is driving their. Life the voice of their desire is making their. DECISIONS i was watching this documentary and there's even to show about it On. Hulu the dropout if you haven't seen it is, man that's great because when you watch, this you see how someone's desire blinded her from everything going on around. Her that it seems that she began to believe her own. Lies it blinded her from just her integrity was, whoo just out the, window just. COMPROMISED i, WAS i, MEAN i was. Stunned she built a company that was value to be a billion dollar company on a. Fraud her, desire what she desired was, good but she was so blinded by that desire she began to, lie she began to. Manipulate it. WAS i, mean it's it's, crazy. But you, see when you're so fixated on the, desire that desire becomes Your. God you're not looking at it like it's a. God but it is the observer that can tell you what is Your. God that is why that scripture And philippius could, say and their appetite became Their. God the people did not say it was not in the first. Person they didn't, say our appetites are Our. God but the one observing you would know who you. Worship When god looks at your, life does he see the one who is sold out in worship to? Him or does he see the one who. Is in worship to desires in worship to the things That he already has for. You but these are the moments where we have to be honest with. Ourselves and If i'm speaking to, you and maybe it could be a desire for, marriage a desire for, children whatever that desire. Is it could be a desire for a, business whatever it. Is if it. Has consumed you to the point that it is now in the place of Your, god that it is the voice of that desire that is making the decisions for. You the reason that you're the way that if you look at the past, decisions maybe just look at the past three decisions that were life. Changing what let those. Decisions was it the desire or was it The Holy? Spirit and If i'm speaking to, you then ALL i ask is that you lay that before The. Lord laying it before The lord does not mean to give up on. It, no it doesn't even mean to kill. It you, see when we talk About. Abraham you, know many of you are familiar with the story About abraham And, isaac and we use that as an example many times to, say you know, what. Just kill it on the. Altar but When abraham, was you, know willing to sacrifice his, Son, Isaac abraham was not Letting isaac. Go he had a trust In god to know that even IF i kill my, son That god has the power to resurrect. Him abraham knew that the promise is. Mine so even if this is required of, me, Now i'm not letting him. GO i know The GOD i serve can resurrect him the same way he Resurrected sarah's. Womb and so WHEN i. Say give it To, God i'm not saying give up on the, desire give up on the, dream give up on What god put in your. Heart i'm, saying give up on your, timeline give up on your, vision give up on the way you believe it would. Manifest give up on the way your, plans because The bible Says god's ways are not our. Ways give up on your ways and surrender to How god. Wants to execute a. Thing you, see. Sometimes god will put a desire in your heart for something that could actually happen in twenty. Years and the reason he put it in your heart young is for you to always know what is. Yours but the enemy confuses it and makes it look Like god is just kind of it's trying to toy with your. Emotions, No god is, saying, hey be, confident don't act like the pauper when you own the. Home don't lose. Yourself because you're after something that is already. Yours you would have the keys when it's. Time So god will put the signs in your heart early so you know how to handle yourself that you don't cheapen yourself or what is already. Yours When satan was in the garden of eating and he was trying to you, know the whole deception for them to eat of the. Tree satan was trying to deceive them with something that was already. DearS he, says, oh when you eat of, this certainly you would you, know you know Like, god and you would know the difference and all that. Stuff you will know good and evil and though the knowledge of good and, evil you would be Like. God and even it's, like, wow this has the ability to make me. Wise and they lost sight of the fact that you are already created In his. Image you already had access to the wisdom Of. God but it was about the. Timing and, so, family if there is a desire that has taken over, you just give it back to The lord and, Say, GOD i trust your, WAYS i trust your, TIMELINE i trust what you want to. DO i need to give this back to you because it has taken such a hold in my heart THAT i cannot hear what you're saying. NOW i can't even hear what you're saying that would even help me manifest this very. Desire, Right, Family and now the third thing is dishonor? Dishonor now this one was so intriguing to. Me you, SEE i don't, know maybe many of you might be aware of, this but when we think, about you, know earthly, royalty, Right i'm sure one of the first people you think about would Be Queen elizabeth the second and with you, know in THE, uk there are dos and don'ts in how you approach The. Queen there is a way you must call. Her there's a language for how you approach, her these things that you. Say and one of the things that even intrigued me is even in the, don'ts, right you cannot, walk you, know walk with. Your back turned towards. Her they consider it. RUDE i, mean there is all this etiquette in how you must approach The. Queen now this is earthly. Royalty now let's talk about our etiquette when we approach The. Lord, now LIKE i, said the beauty About god is that he's, Everywhere so you can talk to him, driving you, know in the you, know drive, through in your, house, cooking feeding the. Babe you can talk to him. Anywhere but LIKE i, said you're talking and you're you can even you, know you guys are in dialogue. Everywhere but when. Those there are intentional moments of, communion you have to look at what is your etiquette before The? Lord are you coming into the presence Of? God you have your phone in one, hand you're On? Instagram why you have worship music? On so with your. Words you're just worshiping The lord with your. Eyes you're looking On, Instagram you're looking at oh this? Bird what what is happening? Here what is Your how do you honor the moments When god, says come up? Here there's SOMETHING i want to tell. You how do you honor the moments when you're Like, GOD i just want to be before you right. Now there's SOMETHING i need to hear from. You are you bringing in things that are actually dishonorable to that? Moment because then your attention is everywhere and then again it brings in. Distraction but how do we honor the moments that we create intentional space to commune With? God how do we honor those? Times how do we set the? Tone how do we set the? Atmosphere BECAUSE i there are things THAT i remember The lord has allowed me to, see even on the spiritual, front and it really blew my. MIND i remember this was a couple of years. AGO i was in college and we were having the CHURCH i was going. To we were having like this youth, meeting and in the youth meeting there was, Worship there was all kinds of things taking, place and then all of a, sudden you, know The lord opens my eyes AND i, see, like you, know around the, team there were like these angels around, everyone and all of a, sudden like there were the. Youth you, know they were doing their own, thing like we're in worship and you, know, praise And i'm So i'm seeing, this and people are like on their phones and they're chatting with each. Other they're, like you, know talking everybody's. Ear you, know somebody's talking about who likes who. Whatever and the whole, time what was really a burden to my heart is that there was there were things that the angels had to, give but there was a posture required for them to release. It and so while everyone was doing their own thing and just having a, PARTY i Literally i'm seeing how the angels are there and they leave with the very things they came to. Deposit what is your etiquette Before? God because even body language speaks a, lot, RIGHT i mean? Right and in culture you have people who, have LIKE i, mean a job in studying body language to tell you. If you are lying or saying the. Truth so even if you if body language speaks a, lot All i'm trying to explain to you is that what is your posture Before. God when you come Before god and you have the intention to, Say, GOD i want to receive from, you what is your posture in that? Moment what are the things that you're allowing to just take, you distract, you and just bring this honor into. IT i, Mean i'm not Even i'm talking about things that are also being highlighted to me because, again we could get caught up in. Routine. Right there are times That i've been guilty, of you, know coming before The lord and prayer AND i have my laptop with me just in case an EMAIL i was waiting for it came, in and then when it comes in out, hallelujah you just turn around and start. Replying to the. Email, Terrible it's nothing, funny, Right and Again i'm talking about these critical times, right just the way you think about. It in a, relationship there are times where you're you're hanging out with your person in a crowd at. Home people are around, you guys are just hanging. Out but there are times when you want intimacy right where it's just you and, them and in that, moment you just you want their, Attention you want them to you want the focus to be about this. Moment that's What i'm talking. About i'm not talking about the the you, know the random moments where we get to talk To god at any. Point But i'm talking about the moments of, intentionality the moments that you're cultivating, intimacy the moments where you're, Like, GOD i need you to speak to. Me what is your posture in those? Moments? Right you, Know i'm thinking about just a dear, Friend Lisa, berevere and we were filming a segment together FOR tv and Called Better, together and she shared a story THAT i love so. Much she talked about when she was having. Kids you, know there were moments where she just wanted to like she could sense that there was things That god wants to say to. Her and, obviously with, kids. You, know your time is. Different you, know they wake up every two hours and you can't really you're. Losing, sleep all kinds of. Things but then she says to The lord and she's, LIKE i would do, ANYTHING i would lose sleep to hear from. You now When i'm saying that's All i'm saying is that it will always cost you something for. Transformation transformation costs, Something, Right she's, Like, GOD i would lose sleep Because i'm sensing there's something you're trying to do. Here and all of a, sudden she started waking up every day just a few minutes after. Two she would wake up by. Herself so the first few days she's, like it's Probably i'm going back to. Bed when it, happened you, know you, know just day after, day day after, day she's, like, wait this is The, lord The Holy spirit is ACTUALLY i just said to, Him, LORD i would loose, sleep. And he's, like all, right, now all, Right i'm gonna wake you. Up and so she got up and then she sat with The lord where at the time where you, know the babies are, sleeping all of, that and all of a, sudden The Holy spirit began to download to, her and she brought out of her journal and she started. Writing and the things he began to say to her were things that were so key about the shift that was coming into their. Lives what AM i, Saying, family wherever you, are if you're sensing this burden upon, you if you're sensing this, restlessness if you sense that there is something That god urgently needs to tell you that would shape the next couple years of your, life you gotta break out of your. Pattern bring honor into those. Moments don't make. Excuses and just, say, oh you know this is happening or that is. HAPPENING i need to be on my, PHONE i need to do, THIS i need to do. That, no bring honor into those. Moments whatever is a sacrifice on your, level but breakout of whatever is your routine right, now right and, lastly family. Disappointment, disappointment you see, disappointment it is what it. Is right when you have an expectation and it did not, happen we get. Disappointed and we've Heard i'm sure we all know, this. Right we know that at the end of the, day whatever is happening to us is not happening against, us but it's happening for. Us and even when we have an expectation it didn't work, out it reveals that something about our expectation wasn't in alignment with The. Lord but there was something The lord showed me to tell. You because disappointment is it's the emotion of disappointment can be very, disheartening whether it's in a. Relationship we know all this. Stuff we know that you know What, god you protected, me you kept. Me this rejection is. Protection we know, that but then we are still overwhelmed by the emotional, pain the emotional, trauma they. Hurt and all of. That and The lord said THAT i should tell you. This your life is bigger than that one. Event your life is bigger than that one. Moment there is so much more to your life than that piece of your. Story you gotta move. ON i get. It you were maybe in the wrong, relationship maybe things didn't pan out the way you. Wanted you thought you heard from The, lord you thought something was an, instruction and you moved on. It your life is still bigger than that one. Moment you have to move, on and whatever it takes to move. On if you need to go into therapy to mo you do. That but you have to move on because when disappointment is left, unchecked it hardens your. Heart and when your heart is contaminated in that, way you Cannot it blocks your ability to hear from The. Lord you, See. I'll give you an, example because disappointment is connected to so many. Things, unforgiveness all of that is all coming from a place of. Hurt there was a time, that to my, surprise you, know BECAUSE i thought that was the forgiveness, queen all, Right but there was something that hurt me in the way THAT i didn't let it go, immediately you, know because it wasn't just the, hurt it was the. Disappointment and there was a day THAT i was praying about. SOMETHING i was asking The lord AND i was, Like, LORD i need you to speak to me concerning this something, else a separate. MATTER i need you to speak to me concerning. This you, KNOW i want you to just As i'm going to, Bed, LORD i want you to just speak to. Me MY i, said this is time for you, know just this is a moment where you just pour yourself. Out i'm going to, Bed i'm, resting and you're. Speaking, okay the best of both. Words BUT i was, Like, GOD i need you to speak to. Me and you know, WHAT i had a dream, about a very vivid dream that seemed to go on for. Days it was about the. Unforgiveness god was showing me WHAT i needed to let. Go and why is that the thing he showed me When i'm asking him for something? Else because that is blocking my. Heart that has cost a blockage in my ability to truly hear. Him because you. See The, bible there are few words that Describe god when it speaks to the essence of Who god. Is, right we Know god is the word, Right but another word that describes him is That god is. Love and what he is and what he embodies is how things flow. Through so you cannot have a heart and heart and the essence Of god flows through. You your heart cannot be. Hardened and the one that is love you can receive. From and so whatever disappointed, you whatever hurts, you whatever wronged, you your life is still bigger than that. Moment allow it to teach, you because at the end of the, day we are students of. Everything let the, Moment let it teach. You no failure is ever, wasted no disappointment is ever. Wasted let it teach. You but let it. Go now that one you can kill, math you can kill, bury and forget the burial, ground because at the end of the, day there's so much more to, you And god wants to reveal that more to. You but you gotta let it. Go you, see my assignment today was to simply reveal the areas. That where that could cause us to come into a place of spiritual. Deafness it was to expose it and bring it to the, light and this is the, moment but The Holy spirit begins to partner with. You you, See david would say things, LIKE i Love david so. Much is SOMEONE i admire so greatly in The bible BECAUSE i love WHEN i read his. PRAYERS i love WHEN i read the words of his. Worship And david will, say search my, Heart Oh, god if there is anything offensive in, me. Search me. And show me the way to everlast in. Life these were the words Of. David david will say things, like, LOOK i don't know what could be clogging me in this. MOMENT i don't know what could be causing a blockage in me in this. Moment So, god search my, heart if there is anything, offensive. Show me the way to everlast in. LIFE i believe in this moment The Holy spirit is searching your hearts and he is bringing to the surface what could have been causing a blockage that while you felt, Like, god you're not even speaking to. ME i have all these THINGS i want. To ask, you not realizing it's not that he wasn't, speaking but we were not, Listening and not that we were not listening because we want to Tune god, out but we had all these things that by default we were Tuning god. Out and so as The Holy spirit searches, you it's not about, shame it's not about. Guilt it's about. Truth it's For god to establish. His truth in. You and so what if you have been moving in, disappointment relieve, said open your heart and, Say, GOD i was, hurt that wounded. ME i GAVE, X y AND z blah blah blah blah. Blah whatever it, is let The lord know and let him show you that what's a head is still, bigger that what's a head is still much. Brighter he, SAID i love my. Ebo name is In, kiraca and that name is always a reminder to me because what that name means is that the future is. Greater it's always a reminder to me that it doesn't matter that disappointments you may have. Experienced what's ahead is still greater your. Life the fact that you still have breath means That god is not done with you on this. Earth there is still many things that you are yet to discover about you and about what you have been called to give to the. Earth And god, said it is still on. Chorus so let that. Go if you have been, cool you, know just clogged by a. Desire release the, timeline be in purpose With god work towards, it but stop putting this pressure of. TIMELINE a good friend of Mine major has this, saying move at the pace of. GRACE i love it so much because grace Is god's, empowerment and essentially what he means is that move as you are. Empowered so don't try to go outside. Of What god has empowered you to do in the, now because that's when compromise begins to set, in manipulation begins to set, in a fence begins to set. In move at the pace of. Grace whether you have been distracted And god is, saying hey, son hey, DAUGHTER i just need a day with, you or MAYBE i just need a couple hours. With, you or MAYBE i just need one hour with. You whatever it, is whatever would break you out of your current, routine Because god has seen that this which was, holy has not been treated as. Ordinary whatever will break you out of your, routine break out of it so That god can allow you to break out The kingdom through. You whatever it, is, FAMILY i want you to know that you are not in this by, yourself that The Holy spirit would empower you and The Holy spirit would open up your channels that you can receive what's needed in this, moment in this season of your. Life and SO i want to pray with. You and maybe you're tuning in and you're, LIKE i haven't really figured, this you, Know. Jesus then now you know a friend of mine sent me the. Link they told me to, hey, like you, know check out this, message or maybe i've been you, know dating the idea of being a. Believer it is one of the best, decisions actually not. One it is the best decision that you ever. Make and we're not paid to say, that you. Know it's not like there is some kind of supernatural bank account that we are advertising that every time we do this, commercial give your life To, jesus the best decision you've ever, Made that money shows up somewhere in the supernatural. Account it's not that it's our. Testimony. Right sometimes it could seem, like, man you, know is this a wh? Required, no it's it's the beauty of. Relationship it's the beauty of. Freedom it's the beauty Of god bringing you into your highest true, self the version of you That he saw before he placed you in your mother's. Womb so if you have been dating this idea of no one The, lord why don't you also surrender your ways and just, Say, lord HERE i, Am, HERE i. AM i actually want to tap into this Foolly. GOD i want to know. You and you, see for. Some of, you you're just feeling this fire on your. Chest you feel like something is burning you on your, chest and it is The lord, saying, Hey i'm, knocking let me, in give me a, try let me show you WHO i really. Am it's not just what the people said about. Me you're going to experience me for. Yourself you. SEE i sense that for some of you listening that The lord is just reminding me of The samaritan woman right when she encountered The, lord read the stories in The book Of, john very. Powerful when she encountered. The, lord she goes and she's sharing her testimony and telling other, people you must meet this man who told me Everything i've ever, done and many ran to see. Him she was, like this is The christ we have been waiting. For and so because of her, testimony they were. Intrigued they, said let us go see this. Man let us meet this man that you're saying is The. Christ but then the scriptures later tell us that it is not because we came because we heard her, testimony but now we believe because of his. Words you, see you might. Be drawn because you're hearing things about The lord from other people's. Testimonies but when you open up your heart To, jesus you will realize that your rute will be developed because of his personal relationship with, you when you begin to encounter a love like no. Other the love Of jesus is on, Failing it is. Relentless it is not the way the world. Loves jesus truly loves without. Conditions he, says wherever you, ARE i love. You whatever you have in your, hand it doesn't. MATTER i love. You you may be high right, now BUT i love. You and let me introduce you into who you. Are that is What that's How jesus. Moves he doesn't look at. You The bible says that he did not come to condemn the, world but he came that the world might be. Saved jesus is not looking at you and condemning. You jesus is not looking at you wondering how dare? You how could? You he is not like. That jesus is looking at you with all your. Mess he, says look at my, Child look at my beautiful. Child oh HOW i just love that. Daughter HOW i love my? Son and all his waiting is let me. In he might challenge, you but it's for your. Good he might discipline, you but it's for your. Good and, so, family if you're saying yes To, JESUS i want you to just put in the chat right now HERE i. Am and as you say HERE i, am you're gonna see A qr code on the. SCREEN i want you to give us your information so we can contact. You it is the best decision you would ever.
