Now, 42 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: this message is not for everybody.

And the reason I tell you 51 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: this is because I wanted people to understand the journey 52 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: of going from trauma to triumph. And right now, in 53 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: this day and age, a lot of people are staying 54 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: in the trauma. They're glorifying the trauma, they're making the 55 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: trauma the excuse. But my Bible says, when God gets 56 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: in the mix of something, it cannot stay the same. 57 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: And many of us have been working to keep our 58 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: excuses the same. And today I came to help you 59 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: be delivered. Today I need your faith and expectation to 60 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: go to another level.

Okay, let me get 65 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: into this. My burden is to tell you write this down. 66 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: The value is still in you. I know that people 67 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: tried to tell you what you would never be. I 68 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: know that you getting denied from that school made you 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: feel something insignificant. I know when they didn't hire you 70 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: at Elevation Church, I felt that thing in here it 71 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: is you thought that their elevation was God's elevation for you. 72 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: And today I came to tell you, no matter what 73 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: you've lost, the value is still in you. Somebody say 74 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: the value is still in me. You didn't say it 75 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: with your chest. Say it with your chest.

He put himself on 80 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: the inside of you. He said, Holy Spirit, Jesus, let's 81 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 3: make man in our That wasn't your body first, because 82 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: it was three spirits talking. So what did he make first? 83 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: He made your spirit. He made the thing that will 84 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: never change.

Oh, okay, 87 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: And the lie of the enemy, listen to me, is 88 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: that the more life you live, the more value you lose. 89 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: We act like our lives is like a car going 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: off the car line that as soon as we drive 91 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: it off, it depreciates.

In two thousand and twenty three, 174 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: this young man named Maphibis Chef was in line to 175 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: be the king of the entire country. 176 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: But I need to set a little backstory. 177 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: So you understand where maphibus Chef's damage came from. Okay, 178 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: so I'm about to show you some pictures because I 179 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: like to make stories come alive in the Bible. This 180 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 3: is by no means biblically accurate because the church folks, 181 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna just try to make it coming alive. 182 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: There was a there was a king named Saul. Could 183 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: you put them on the screen in my mind in 184 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: the movie of my mind. 185 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: This is what Saul looks like. 186 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: And he was anointed by God, but he stopped obeying 187 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: the commands of God. He wanted the position, but he 188 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: did not want to follow in obedience. Be careful when 189 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: you're walking in a position and you stop obeying. God 190 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: took his hand off of his life and he had 191 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 3: to raise up another king. Okay, we're just gonna walk 192 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: through this. But then Saul had a son named Jonathan. This, 193 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: in my mind is what Jonathan looked like. This was Jonathan. Okay, ladies, 194 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 3: calm down, that's just seeing. Oh you're laughing too hard 195 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: over there, that's just interest. But in my mind, this 196 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 3: is what Jonathan looked like. And Jonathan was with Saul's son. 197 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: He was in line to be the heir of the throne. 198 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: But when Daddy disobeyed, it took away the son's inheritance. 199 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: The reason we gotta deal with our damage is because 200 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: what's not transformed its transferred. The reason we gotta go 201 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: to counseling, and we believe in theology and therapy. Uh oh, 202 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just pray about it. You need to pray 203 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: about it and go to a practice. You need to 204 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: get in an e group and community, and you need 205 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: to go to counseling. You need to worship and do 206 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 3: the hard work. That's what some of y'all came for. 207 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 3: Right there. Jonathan now has a son, and his son's 208 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: name is Maphibi Chef. Okay, So Mamphibis Chef is crippled, 209 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna I'm gonna show you a picture of 210 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: what Mamphibis Chef looks like in my mind. 211 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: Okay. 212 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: So what's Saul is Jonathan and it's Maphibi Chef. Okay. 213 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: Now what somebody's like is that my brother I saw 214 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: you him. There was one more character in this story. 215 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: His name was King David. 216 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: And this is what King David looked like in the 217 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: movie of my mind. Right now, okay, King David put 218 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: him on the screen for me real quick. 219 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just strong life, okay. 220 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: Now that everybody has this movie in their head, this 221 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: sets the story for where we find King David after 222 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: Maphibis Chef is now in a place where he's been damaged, 223 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: watched his second Samuel chapter. 224 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: Nine, verse three. One day, David asked, he's king. 225 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: Now, is there anyone in Saul's families alive? Anyone to 226 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: whom I can show kindness? For Jonathan's sake? Because Jonathan 227 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: and David were boys. Zibba replied, yes, one of Jonathan's 228 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feete though, 229 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 3: where is he, the King asked in Lodobar. Ziba told 230 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: him at the home of Maker's son of Emil. So 231 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: David watch this sit for him and brought him from 232 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: Maker's home. Now I want to point out the hater 233 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: in this story. His name is Ziba, and Ziba has 234 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: the ear of the king. The king asked, is there 235 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: anybody left that I can show kindness to? And he 236 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: says yeah and does not say his name. 237 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: He says his condition. 238 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: Be careful when people describe you by your condition and 239 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: not your name. He said, there's yeah, there's somebody left, 240 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: but he's rippled. 241 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: There's somebody left, but they're a liar. 242 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 3: There's somebody left, but they they're not faithful. And the 243 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 3: reason that this young man was crippled, Mashibis Chef, was 244 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: not his own fault. 245 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: And that's why I want to let you know. 246 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: You have to make sure you don't allow people to 247 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: make your issue your identity. No, hear me, you did it, 248 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: you are not it. Can we be honest. Some of 249 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: us have done some dumb things, but do not let 250 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: your issue or anybody else make your issue your identity. 251 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 3: And he tries to describe him, and the truth of 252 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: the matter is, like most of us, Maphibi Chef was 253 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: damaged not because of his own fault. When I think 254 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: about most of the places in my life, I'm gonna 255 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: just be real about me that I got damaged. Most 256 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 3: of it happened before I was a teenager. The insecurity 257 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 3: did not start when I was twenty eight. 258 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: It started at twelve. See how quiet it is. 259 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: That drive to go and go and perform and excel. 260 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 3: That's because they didn't see you unless you got a 261 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: trophy so at six years old, you knew you couldn't 262 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 3: just say what you need. You needed to prove you 263 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: were worse than looking at you stuck. The greatest time 264 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 3: to kill a king is when it's a kid. The 265 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: reason the enemy's been after you since you were a 266 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 3: young child, it's because there is a king in you. 267 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: And the greatest time to kill a king is when 268 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 3: it's a kid. 269 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: It's what they tried to do to Moses. 270 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 3: Kill every child under the age of two. That's what 271 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: they tried to do to Jesus. And some of us 272 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: have been dealing with our damage since we were young. 273 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 3: And this is what I need you to know. You 274 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: are so special. You've always been a threat to the devil. 275 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 3: No hear what I'm just saying. The attack on your 276 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 3: life from a young age has been because if you 277 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: ever walked fully in the dominion that God has given you, 278 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: if you ever were fully free from the insecurity, well 279 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: I can't do that and I'm not like them. And 280 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: if you ever just said, but he is with me, 281 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 3: and if he is with me, who everybody say? 282 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: Who I like that? Who can be against me?

No, 339 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: I'm just going to be a businessman, he said. I 340 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 3: want you to be in that field, but I want 341 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: you to bring all your damaged areas to me so 342 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 3: I can raise you up as a testimony in that area. 343 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: And some of you today, all God's saying is I 344 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 3: want your damage.

You were abused when you were young and 346 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 3: your family doesn't even know it. 347 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: You've blocked it. 348 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: Out, you suppressed it, and you're wondering why you're dealing 349 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: with anxiety so much because it was never meant to 350 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: stay on the inside of you. I want your damage tonight, 351 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: when you're in your bed and the Holy Spirit begins 352 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: to start whispering to you, and he reminds you of. 353 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: Things that happen. 354 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 3: What he's doing is he's calling for the damage. 355 00:22:59,359 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: I want it. 356 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 3: I'm the only one that can do something with it. 357 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: What does God do with you with your damage? He 358 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: calls for it. The second thing that God does with 359 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: your damage wants this. 360 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: He carries it. Oh, this makes me happy because my 361 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 3: Fibi Chef was crippled. I need you to understand. Just 362 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 3: imagine with me. They come to his door, knock, Dodd, Hello, 363 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: is my Phibbi chef there? 364 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: Yes, what a horrible name. Come with me. 365 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 3: Now. Watch when they say come with me. He does 366 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: not have the power on his own to get to 367 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 3: where he has been commissioned or destined to go. He's 368 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 3: in a place. 369 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: Of nothing, and they want him in the palace. 370 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: So the King, Oh, I feel the presence of God, 371 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 3: will never ask you to come to a place that 372 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 3: he won't carry you too. Scott, Come help me real quick, Scott, 373 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 3: I need a. 374 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: Couple of strong guys, come on, help me. 375 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 3: He's sitting down and he's like, hey, you're not gonna 376 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: kill me, because it was custom back then to anybody 377 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: that was in line before you killed their whole family. 378 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: So when the king's guard came to him, he was like, 379 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm about to die. 380 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: That's what Christianity sometimes makes people think that when God 381 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 3: comes to them, he's ready to smite them and punish them. 382 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: The king was wanting to show favor, but he says, 383 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: come with me to the palace. But he still does 384 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 3: not have the ability to get there on his own. 385 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: So the king sins power that is not his own. 386 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: You want me to come? Oh God, these brothers are song. 387 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 3: Take me over to the King's palace over there. All 388 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 3: the fibbus Chef had to do. It's surrendered, so he 389 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: can be taken. Now. 390 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: Don't drop me, just let me down. 391 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 3: Let me down. What are you saying to me, pastor Mike. 392 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: God will never call you to a place that he 393 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: won't carry you to you. The problem is most of 394 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 3: us have not surrendered. Let me show you. Zachariah four 395 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 3: to six. It says this is a word of the 396 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 3: Lord to Zaruba bel not by my not by power, but. 397 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: It's going to be by the spirit of God. Where 398 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: you're at. 399 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: Right now, God saying I'm calling for your damage, but 400 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 3: if you would surrender, I'll carry you. I will carry 401 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: you to the place I want you to be Philippians 402 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 3: one six. And I am certain that God, who began 403 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 3: the good work within you, will continue his work until 404 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 3: it's finally finished on the day of Jesus Christ. What 405 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 3: will God do with your damage? He calls for it, 406 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 3: he carries it, and then why he covers it. When 407 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 3: the Phibish chef gets to the palace, he comes in 408 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 3: and he thinks he's dead. I mean, look at it. 409 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: In the scripture, literally, King David has to say, don't 410 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: be afraid. I intend to show you kindness this verse seven, 411 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 3: because of the promise I made to your father Jonathan. 412 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 3: I will give you Woo all the property that once 413 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here 414 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 3: with me at the king's table. But watch this, this 415 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 3: is our response usually because of our Damageibish if bowed 416 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 3: respect Leon exclaimed, who is your servant that you should 417 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 3: show such kindness to a dead dog like me? Be 418 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 3: careful when Shane starts talking, He's in the presence of 419 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: the King, and many times God is wanting to use 420 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 3: us at a higher level. And our shame starts talking, 421 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 3: why would you even consider a dead dog like me? 422 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 3: But the King ignores his ignorance because the King knows 423 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: the value that's on the inside of him, just like 424 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: the King knows the value that's on the inside of you, 425 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 3: and he invites him to eat at his table. 426 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Now, the reason why this blows my mind. 427 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: Is because when you think about where Mam phippas Cheff 428 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 3: was damaged, where was his damage at his legs? When 429 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: you pull up a seat to the King's table, when 430 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: he sits and he looks over the landscape of everybody else, 431 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: the thing that damaged him is now covered. Let me 432 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: introduce you to the grace of God. When you come 433 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 3: into a loving relationship by faith with God, the grace 434 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 3: of God covers your damage area. Somebody said, get excited 435 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: about that, because what the enemy was shining to you 436 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 3: said disqualify you. It is the very thing that God says, 437 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 3: I know it, but I'll cover it. And we have 438 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 3: to begin to rely on the grace. 439 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Somebody shot at me. 440 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 3: Grace the unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor and kindness of God. 441 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: And some of y'all think y'all built y'all own table, 442 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: and you covering yourself, you're trying to have money cover it. 443 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: We still see you. You getting flown out, We still 444 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 3: see you. Mac makeup, Louis Gucci, findy down, We still 445 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 3: see you. It's not until you get covered with the 446 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: grace of God. I got to move. I came to 447 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: tell somebody, pull up a chair to the table of God, 448 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: pull up a share to where God has for you. 449 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: Listen to me. What does God do with your damage? 450 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: Say it with me. 451 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: Say he calls for it, he carries it, he covers it. 452 00:28:54,480 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 3: Number four, he converts it. He flipped that thing. God says, 453 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: if you give me your damage, I'll flip it. If 454 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,239 Speaker 3: you give me everything that you've been ashamed of, and 455 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 3: you let me cleanse you and purify you and wash 456 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: you and change you and transform, I'll flip this thing 457 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: so cold my phibus chef in one day goes from 458 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 3: crippled to covert. Everybody say one day.

What crazy take that mas 466 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: situation can flip when God gets in the midst of it. 467 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 3: If you believe it. At every campus, give God a 468 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: shot of pray, or I feel this sat he can 469 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 3: confirt this Jjay crippled to cover shame, to having a seat, 470 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 3: no identity, to a full inheritance. He went from pain 471 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: to a platform. His damage was turned into destiny. His 472 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 3: trauma became triumphed. He went from separated to being a son. 473 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: This is the gospel. This is the good news. Call 474 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 3: everybody y'all know a song. That's what Jesus did for me. 475 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: The only reason I'm standing on this stage is not 476 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 3: because I did everything perfect. It's when I messed stuff, 477 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: when I did the wrong thing, when I was damaged. 478 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: I did not run from my father. I ran to him. 479 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,479 Speaker 3: I have four children, and all of them break stuff. 480 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 3: They don't know how much stuff costs. They have no clue. 481 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 3: But my children have all broken expensive things. But the 482 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 3: one thing I love about all my kids is when 483 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: they break something that they know they cannot pay for 484 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 3: and they do not have the intelligence to fix, they 485 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: bring it to their father. Now, if a four year 486 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 3: old and a five year old and a seven year 487 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 3: old has the sense to bring their damaged things to 488 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: their father, what's our excuse? 489 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: Church? 490 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 3: What I'm asking you today is to bring your damage 491 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: to God, because he's big enough to handle it. 492 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: What does God do with damage? 493 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: He calls for it, He carries it, He covers it, 494 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 3: this is good news. He converts it last one, he 495 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: commissions it. God doesn't want you to hide your damage. 496 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 3: He wants to heal your damage, and then he wants 497 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: you to take it and use it to share with 498 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 3: everybody else. How good God has been. I recall a 499 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 3: story in John chapter five, verse eight. There was a 500 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 3: man that was a paralytic sitting by the pool for 501 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 3: thirty eight years, and Jesus asked him a question, the 502 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: same question I'm going to ask you today. Do you want. 503 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: To be made whole? 504 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 3: See, this is the thing that everybody has to real life. 505 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: Getting healed from your damage is a decision. Some of 506 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: y'all been holding onto the thing that God said. 507 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: Give me that, and you plan tugle war with God. 508 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: He said, keep it if. 509 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 3: You want it. You want to have low self esteem 510 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 3: for the rest of your life, keep that. That's less 511 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 3: than what I've called you to in the kingdom. You 512 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: want to keep having it. I put the whole to 513 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: you on my back, he said. My burden is easy 514 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 3: and my yoke is light. If you want to put 515 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 3: the whole thing on your back, go ahead. But when 516 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: you get sick of carrying it, I'll be here. This man, 517 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 3: he answers, I want to be made whole. Jesus heals him. 518 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: Man pops up and he about to run off, and 519 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 3: jes said, hold on, come here, come here, take this man. 520 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: And I bet the man was like, I don't want that, 521 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 3: don't want to remember any thing from back there, And 522 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 3: Jesus tells them, no, no, no, you need this. This 523 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 3: is I'm commissioning you to go everywhere. I want you 524 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 3: to see walk. Hey, hey, I want you to see walk. 525 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 3: But make sure you holding that man, because I want 526 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 3: all the people who passed you to remember that it 527 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: was not their effort or their energy. It was nothing 528 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 3: but the power of God. 529 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: Somebody, I don't know what I'm talking about. 530 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 3: But the fact that you're still here, it is nothing 531 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 3: but the power of the fact that you still got 532 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: so right mind, it was nothing but the power of God. Now, 533 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 3: God is commissioning our damage. That's why every time I 534 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 3: stand up, I tell people I was addicted to pornography 535 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: the pastor. Yes, I was a person before I was 536 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 3: a pastor, y'all so funny. I was a liar. I 537 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 3: was a manipulator, not the man of God. Yes, And 538 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 3: what did I do? I brought my damage to him 539 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 3: because in the beginning, God said, I'm gonna use this 540 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 3: broken vessel and I'm gonna change people's life. I'm gonna 541 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: trans people, transform people's lives. But I need him to 542 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 3: not be scared to take his damage when it's healed 543 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 3: and share it with people. 544 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: That's why the. 545 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 3: Word says we overcome by the blood of the Lamb. 546 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 3: That's what Jesus did. But the words of our testimony. 547 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 3: That's why many people aren't overcoming because you are too quiet. 548 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 3: The reason why that stuff can't come back in my 549 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 3: life because. 550 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. This is just what 551 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: God did for me. 552 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 3: And today I just came with burning to let somebody 553 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 3: know who's had many abortions, to let somebody know that 554 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 3: has continued to have miscarriages, To let somebody know whose 555 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 3: career has not gotten off the ground, To let somebody 556 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: know who doesn't know who their real family is. To 557 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 3: let somebody know who's made mistakes over and over. God 558 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 3: can do something miraculous with your damage. Okay, let me 559 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 3: explain it. Will you bring out my example, and then 560 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 3: we're gonna go home. I want this picture to last 561 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 3: in your mind. We are three parts, okay. We are 562 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 3: a spirit okay, and then we are a soul mind, 563 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 3: will and emotions, and then. 564 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: We have a body. 565 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 3: Okay. And the Holy Spirit showed me this. He told me, 566 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 3: He said, Michael, people don't understand this. Write these three 567 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 3: things down. You have a covering, you have a container, 568 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 3: and you have contents. The spirit part of you is 569 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 3: the realest part of you. It's what God said, let 570 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 3: us make man in our image. It was a spirit 571 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 3: part of you. He breathed into us, into dust, and 572 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: then we came in with your lips and your hips, 573 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 3: and your eyes and your eyes. 574 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: It was. 575 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: A creative miracle. Some of y'all like, could I have 576 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 3: less of a miracle. Could you take off a little 577 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 3: bit of this miracle? But what ends up happening is 578 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 3: the covering is our soul, mind, will, and emotions. 579 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 1: And in this life, a lot. 580 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 3: Of times, through situations we can't control, our covering gets 581 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 3: ripped and somebody says something to us that makes us 582 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 3: feel not worthy. And then we come into contact with 583 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 3: some other people and they start saying things about us, 584 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 3: and we get marked up in our lives and our mind, willing, 585 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 3: emotions get marked up. And then we get into that 586 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 3: relationship that they find but we know they're not no good, 587 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 3: and they start drilling on our identity and poking holes 588 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 3: in our confidence, and we have soul ties with them 589 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 3: because I need to feel something because nobody was ever 590 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 3: there to show me nothing. And then we let success 591 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 3: and our career come to poke holes in us. Does 592 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 3: God want to do something with this? I don't know. 593 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: There's so much damage I did it. 594 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: Now you want me to think that God wants to 595 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: use me? 596 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 3: And every time I'm gonna come around people, I'm getting 597 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 3: stabbed in the back. 598 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: That's why I'm not joining those small group. There's people there. 599 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 3: Come on, y'all, I'll come to worship. I was saying, 600 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 3: this is it, Thank God? But people, I'm getting cut 601 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 3: on and then stuff happens to me that stains me forever. 602 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 3: God can't want to use something like this, and then 603 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 3: life hits you. 604 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: Isn't he the example? 605 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 3: Guy? Oh? God, I know. But then God brings fire 606 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: into your life and it starts burning places in you, 607 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 3: and stuff starts catching on fire. And the truth of 608 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 3: the matter is, I don't know if God can use 609 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 3: me because I'm too damaged. Uh uh. This is like 610 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 3: when me and my wife found out our son had autism. 611 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 3: He started burning us and allowing the fear of the 612 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 3: future to take us out, but then the Holy Spirit 613 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 3: came and blew on us. But this still don't look good. 614 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 3: Does anybody want this? But God said, what you don't 615 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 3: realize is this was just your soul, your mind, willing emotions. 616 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 3: The truth of the matter is, I'll take that and 617 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 3: I'll heal it. I'll do something that nobody could do 618 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 3: with it. Yeah, it's messy, yes, but the truth of 619 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 3: the matter is when you get down to the container 620 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 3: our body, it's been jacked up too, even to the 621 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 3: point where it starts leaking through. 622 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: And we say stuff like the value it's still ain't you. 623 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 3: But I'm still missing something. But the truth of the 624 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 3: matter is the most valuable part of this whole thing 625 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 3: was not in the covering, and it was not in 626 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 3: this container. Even though it's hard to get this out, 627 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 3: it was in the thing that was covering it. The 628 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 3: value of this There are some really expensive shoes, but 629 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 3: the oh, even the stain that was on the outside 630 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 3: did not get on the inside because the value, I 631 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 3: need somebody to hear you, the value was in the 632 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,959 Speaker 3: contents that was put on the inside of me here 633 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 3: in this room right now, and your covering has been damaged, 634 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 3: and your container has been damaged.
