Your 30 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: Pastor texts me at least twice a week, and if 31 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: I preach something really good, he calls me. That's my barometer. 32 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: There are levels. If he doesn't call or text, I 33 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: go into depression.

It's not a in front of people love. 37 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: It's it's a deep, abiding love. So much of your 38 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: story is like mine. You came up from a small 39 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: town in the rural area in monks Creek. It is 40 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: it ought to be monks Creek, a monk's corner and 41 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: he came out of Monks Corner and then Charlotte. I 42 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: grew up in Charleston, West Mcgod, Virginia, you gotta throw 43 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: the back God in there. You're not a true West Virginia. 44 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: Take me home Country Road to the place I belong 45 00:03:54,160 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: West Virginia, Mount Marma Tigh Country Road. I just had 46 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: to authenticate that I am a true West Virginia when 47 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: you know all the words to that's all. You are 48 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: from West Virginia. And God sent me to Dallas, Texas, 49 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: and I had whatever happened in my life happened in 50 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: my life, and I just so relate to you in 51 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: so many ways. And I was trying to think of 52 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: something to commemorate because he's always getting me all these 53 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: cool shoes, and I got big feet, you know. So 54 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: he gets me the shoes and then calls me and 55 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: asks me, did I get all my toes in them? 56 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: So I started to get you some cool shoes, but 57 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure you could get all your toes in them. 58 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: But I do want to make a presentation to you 59 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: that I thought reminded me of you. And this is 60 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: part of my birthday present to you. And I hope 61 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: the right thing is under here, because this is great faith, 62 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: because I didn't get to check behind. So if I 63 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: unveiling and it's the wrong thing, I'm going to cover 64 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: it up. Then for the first time in my intern life, 65 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: I'm going to turn red.

Shook the world in such a 69 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: powerful way. When I think of Bible characters, I thought 70 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: of David. I think you are a giant killer, and 71 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: so I had them get this bronze statue so that 72 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: you could put this somewhere in your life and every 73 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: time you run into something big or feel in anequin 74 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: or wonder can you do it? Brought this David to 75 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: remind you that the head of the giant is under 76 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: your feet. And this is my sermony.

You know, you're not very 131 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: creative when you get a dog and you name him pup. 132 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: He was just a puppy and Mama said, what are 133 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: you gonna name him? I said, well, let's call him Pup. 134 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: So he grew to me that high. But we still 135 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: called him Pup and he was nice to us, but 136 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: he would terrorize the community, so we had to keep 137 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: him chained and a little. I lived in a little 138 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,599 Speaker 1: raggedy house on the side of the hill, on the 139 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: backside of a mountain in Charlton, West Virginia, and half 140 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: of the house was on the mountain. Another half was 141 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: supported by four by four posts, and we had him 142 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: tied to the posts on the chain, and we didn't 143 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: know that he could break the chain until one day 144 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: this young man came down there on the bicycle and 145 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: he was moving real fast, you know, on the bicycle, 146 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: and that he's now, he's been in my church, gosh 147 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: forty years now. But at that time, I was just 148 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: a little boy, and we didn't know that Pup could 149 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: break the chain. But Pup showed us that when what 150 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: he wanted in front of him was bigger than what 151 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: was behind him, he broke the chain that held him 152 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: and went to the next level. And I'm believing God 153 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: for everybody in here to do some chain breaking in 154 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: your life. Hey man, any chain breakers in the room, 155 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: tell somebody, tell him I'm a chain breaker. I want 156 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: you to go to the Book of Acts eight, verse one, 157 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: and if you want to make me feel real and home, 158 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: stand for the reading of the word. Just because we 159 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: stood for everybody else, we might as well stand for God. 160 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: Beginning at verse one, I'm going to read eight simple 161 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: verses I will extrapolate from the text. I think I'm 162 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: going to I think I'm going to just use Pup 163 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: as an example and just call it chain breaker. And 164 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: look at him as said I'm a chain breaker. And 165 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time 166 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,599 Speaker 1: there was a great persecution against the Church which was 167 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the 168 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles and devout 169 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: men carried Step into his burial and made great lamentations 170 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: over him. This is the embryotic stages of the development 171 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: of the church. The church hadn't even really come into 172 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: the realization of who it really was. It had power, 173 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: it had purpose, but it didn't even understand itself fully. 174 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: It didn't have structure or order. As for Saul, he 175 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: made havoc of the church. Saul, who would later become 176 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: converted and be one of the greatest participants of the church, 177 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: had not come into the awareness of who he was. 178 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: So the church, who didn't know who he was, was 179 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: being persecuted by a man who didn't know who he was. 180 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering 181 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: into every house and hailing men and women, committing them 182 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: to prison, hauling men and women and committing them unto prison. 183 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: Therefore they were scattered abroad. They were therefore therefore therefore, therefore, 184 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: because of the persecution. Therefore, because of the persecution, they 185 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: were scattered abroad and went everywhere preaching the Gospel. Then Philip, 186 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: then Philip, Then Philip went. Then Philip went down to Samaria, 187 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 188 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: And the people with one accord gave heed unto those 189 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: things which Philip spake. Hearing and seeing the miracles which 190 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: he did, they heard what he said, they watched what 191 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice 192 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: came out of many that were possessed with them, and 193 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: many were taken, many taken with palsy, and that were 194 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: lame were healed, and there was great what joy in 195 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: that city. Chain breakers, Let's pray, Father, in the name 196 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: of Jesus, I pray that your presence and power would 197 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: prevail in this place today, that your glory would emanate 198 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: through the Word of God, that it would touch lives, 199 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: that it wouldn't just touch us, but it would touch 200 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: all that concerns us, all that is around us, all 201 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: that we envelop I pray God that this would be 202 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: the kind of yoke breaking, thirst, quenching, mind, renewing Chain 203 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: breaking word that releases the captives and sets him free, 204 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: that heals the lame that binds up the broken hearted. 205 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: I pray a special prayer for people whose heart has 206 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: been broken today and they bear a pain that no 207 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: medicine can heal. But today, in the name of Jesus, 208 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: I pray that healing would break out in the hearts 209 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: of not only this campus, but every campus that is watching. 210 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: I speak. Healing and deliverance have your way in this 211 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: place in the name of Jesus, we pray, and I 212 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: need everybody with a sound of thunder to shout amen. 213 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: You may be seated in the presence of God. Next 214 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: time you introduce me, bring it down like quite a bit, 215 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, bring the expectation level down. Turn it down 216 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. I'd rather you about there and that way. 217 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: If I hit there, I'm up. But if you put 218 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: it up there, I have to leap up like Magic 219 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: Johnson to get there. So pray for me. Somebody shout amen. 220 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: We are in the Book of Acts. It has wrongly 221 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: been called the acts of the Apostles, when in fact, 222 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: with careful ste you will understand it is not so 223 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: much the acts of the Apostles. It is in fact 224 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: the acts of God. It is the acts of God 225 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: through the apostles in the early formation of the Church. 226 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: This book is written by Luke. It is a continuation 227 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: of the Gospel of Luke and initially was not divided. 228 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Later it was divided from the book, but it continues 229 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: the thoughts of Luke when he says, so, former treaties 230 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: have I made in acts one to one? The former 231 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: treaties have I made? O Theophilus, of all that Jesus 232 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: began both to do and to teach, the indication is 233 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: that Jesus began it, but he is not finished. Of 234 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: all that Jesus began both to do and to teach 235 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: into Samaria Judea in the utmost parts of the earth. 236 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: It is just that the Jesus that is doing it 237 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: now is not doing it through the body he initially 238 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: did it through. But rather than to do it through 239 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: his physical body, he is now doing it through his 240 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: mystical body. But it is still him. There are very 241 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: few occasions that we see the physical body and the 242 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: mystical body in the same place, like we do at 243 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: the Passover. Allow me to share what I mean. At 244 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: the Passover service, you see all aspects of the Body 245 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: of Christ. You see the physical body of Christ, and 246 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: through the bread and the wine, you see the memorial 247 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: body of Christ serving the physical body of Christ is 248 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: serving the memorial body of Christ to the mystical body 249 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: of Christ, who is the Church. And they're all at 250 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: the table together. So the Body of Christ says to 251 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: the Body of Christ, says, take eat, this is my body, 252 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: and we see all three manifestations of one body in 253 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: one place. Had the enemy understood what I just said, 254 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: he would have never crucified the Lord, because when he 255 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: crucified the Lord, he crucified the Lord to get the 256 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: Body of Christ out of the earth. But all the 257 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: Body of Christ did was move from the physical body 258 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: of Christ into the mystical body of Christ so that 259 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: the work of God could continue. And that's who you are. 260 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Your name is not James or Robert or Richard or 261 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: Angela or Shaniqua. No, no, your name. Yeah, I gotta 262 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: cover everybody. This is an equal opportunity to uri say, man, 263 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: somebody that is not really your name, Your name is 264 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: really Christ Jesus. Yes, Because when the Father looks at you, 265 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: he does not see you as an individual. He sees 266 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: you as Jesus Christ, because Christ has covered you in 267 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: such a way that the truth of the miner is. 268 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: When Christ was on the cross, God didn't see his son, 269 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: he saw your sin, and so when he reacted to 270 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: what he saw, and Christ was smitten of God, confused, saying, 271 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: elie lie lama, sabothane, God, my God, why is forsaking me? 272 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: The reason that he felt forsaken is that he was 273 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: covered up with you so that you could be covered 274 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: up with him, so that the life that you now 275 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: live in the flesh, you live by the faith of 276 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the son of God, who loved himself and gave himself 277 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: a ransom for you. I'll prove it to you, so 278 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: Jesus tells you. When you go to the Father, don't 279 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: use your name because he can't see you. But whatsoever 280 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: you ask the Father in my name, that will I do. So. 281 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: When you come to the Father in the name of Jesus, 282 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: it's only because you look like Jesus, for his blood 283 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: is the propitiation of your sin and has so covered you. 284 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: That's why you can come boldly to the throne of grace. 285 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: You don't have to walk up with your head down, 286 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: ashamed of your sins because your sins were judged on 287 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: the cross. You can come like the beloved Son because 288 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: you are covered with the Beloved Son. And you got 289 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: to remember to use his name to somebody, say say Jesus, 290 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: Say Jesus, Say Jesus, Say Jesus, Say Jesus. When you come, 291 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: say Jesus, because you're wearing Jesus and you're walking in Jesus, 292 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: and you're moving in Jesus, and you're living in Jesus. 293 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: In him. I live in Him, I move in Him. 294 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: I have my being. And the Church is really trying 295 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: to get his hands around this whole notion of who 296 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: they are and understanding themselves because the Holy Spirit has 297 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: fallen on the Day of Pentecosts in Night chapter one, 298 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: verse eight, and they have received this power, this power 299 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: from God which is so amazing and so incomprehensible that 300 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: they will spend the rest of their lives understanding how 301 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: to operate in this new dimension of the spirit. They 302 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: do not have deaconshit they do know how to have 303 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: elders or pastors or apostles that will come with Paul. 304 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: They just have power. But power without structure is a 305 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: dangerous thing. Do you hear what I'm saying. The Holy 306 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: Spirit has fallen with such power in that chapter one, 307 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: and that's chapter two, that whenever there were problems to arise, 308 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: they would all gather in Jerusalem because they were afraid 309 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: to get out of Jerusalem because they didn't feel ready yet. 310 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: Have you ever not felt ready yet? And you knew 311 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: God was going to do some amazing things in your life, 312 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: but you didn't have all your details together, and you 313 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: didn't have everything worked out yet, and you felt like 314 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: destiny was moving faster than revelation was in your life, 315 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: and you were walking by faith and not by sight. 316 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: That was the feeling of the early Jight. So whenever 317 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: we don't know what to do, we hang around what 318 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: we know. And whenever we hang around what we know 319 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: too long, God has to send something to get us 320 00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: to move. Because being a christ which they weren't even 321 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: named yet at this point, being a Christian is not 322 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: a monument. It is a movement. It is a movement. 323 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: It is a movement, not a monument. It's not a building. 324 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: It's not a denomination, it's not a doctrine. It's a movement. 325 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: Elevation is not a church. It's a movement. You understand, 326 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. It's not about a building. It's not about 327 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: four walls, it's not about where you sit in a building. 328 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: The vision of this church is a movement. That's why 329 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: you call elevation, which means we move, We elevate, we rise, 330 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: we escalate, we move forward. Don't look for us where 331 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: we used to be. Because we are elevation. We will 332 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: move on a brother. We will walk on a brother. 333 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: We will rise on a brother. If the enemy tries 334 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: to attack us, we will rise on the devil. Because 335 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: we are elevation. We are like eagles. We take to 336 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the air, We rise above the storm. Come on, elevation. 337 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about your church. I'm talking about your church, 338 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: and all of your locations. Make some noise if you're 339 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: getting ready to elevate in this place. The problem is 340 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: fear will make a movement turn into a monument. And 341 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: most of our denominational entanglements just tell us where they 342 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: stopped moving, and we memorialize where God has been, rather 343 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: than to thirsty be where God is. Oh, follow me, 344 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: because I'm going somewhere today. They told me that this 345 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: is the third service, and I heard you all could 346 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: handle it. So I'm gonna drop it like it's hot 347 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: in here. Okay, you ready for this. I'm getting ready 348 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: to set it off in this place. Are you ready 349 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: for me to set it off in this place? I'm 350 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: getting ready to tell you that God has a way 351 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: of shifting things, getting us out of our comfort zone, 352 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: pushing us away from the familiar. He forces us to scatter. 353 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what this text is all about, because 354 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: in a chapter eight, the church that is trying to 355 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: memorialize where God was is being pushed out of their 356 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: comfort zone by the attack of Saul. Kind of the 357 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: persecution of Saul comes direction. Direction. Persecution. Persecution is direction. 358 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes you shout about the doors God opens, but you 359 00:24:48,960 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: ought to be shouting about the doors God closes. He 360 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: will push you. And what has happened up into the 361 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: first eight ten years of the Early Church They kept 362 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: coming back to the Council at Jerusalem, because, after all, 363 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: Jerusalem is the epicenter of almost every major religion in 364 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: the world today claims its origin and root to go 365 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: back to the city of Jerusalem. That is why the 366 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: Middle East has so much conflict, because they're fighting over territory. 367 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Because Jerusalem becomes jeruse Adam, the Holy City, the City 368 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: of Peace, the offspring, and the progenitor, of which three 369 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: major religions claim heritage. Yet you must realize that Jesus 370 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: throws us a hint when he was crucified, according to 371 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: the Book of Hebrews outside of the city. Jesus, by 372 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: his crucifixion, is already preaching to us that he's trying 373 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: to escape religion, his order, that he's breaking up Orthodoxy, 374 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: that he refuses to be left into the expected, but 375 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: he's going to move in the unexpected. And so when 376 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: the Book of Hebrew said that he died without the city, 377 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: it means that he escaped the religious order to expose 378 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: who he really was, so that he wouldn't be stuck 379 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: in the prison of religious ideology. That's why some people 380 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: can't handle elevation, because you are unexpected. You're out of 381 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: the box. You break all the rules, you change the game, 382 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: you change the flow, you broke the order. Look at 383 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: you young folks and old folks, and you black folks 384 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: and white folks and brown folks shouting and dancing and 385 00:26:45,920 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: praising God, elevation and our Now you must understand that 386 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: Christianity was not popular then it didn't even have a 387 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: name yet. It wasn't until they got to Antioch that 388 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: they started to be called Christians. The early Church was 389 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: called the Way, and then later they were called the Believers, 390 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: and eventually Antioch they were called the Church. And so 391 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: this nameless group of Jesus freaks were coming to Jerusalem 392 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: because that's where they had last spotted His glory. Whenever 393 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: there was a dispute, they came back to Jerusalem. Whenever 394 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: there was confusion, they came back to Jerusalem. And they 395 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: kept huddling in Jerusalem. So God sent persecution to shift them. 396 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: I want to talk to everybody who's been persecuted and 397 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: you've been thinking it was the devil. If it was 398 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: the devil, God used him, because God will often use 399 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: the devil to shift you from one dimension to the 400 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: next dimension. That's why we glory and tribulation. Anybody can 401 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: glory when things are going well, but real believers glory 402 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: and tribulation. Oh. I appreciate all of you that are 403 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: praising God because everything's going right, But the real praise 404 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: go to the people where all hell is breaking loose 405 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: and you're still praising God anyway, because God is shifting 406 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: you through persecution. And the Bible says that God sent 407 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: persecution to Jerusalem to scatter the church out of its 408 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: comfort zone, to make them move to the next dimension, 409 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: to get them out of Monk's corner or creek or whatever. 410 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: You see. God has a way of ordering your steps 411 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: in such a way that sometimes you have to pack 412 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: your bags and flee your comfort zone to find your destiny. 413 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: And that's what we're reading in the Book of Acts 414 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: and the Bible, carefully, cautiously, almost as a footnote. And 415 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: sir said, Philip went down to Samaria. Now, let's talk 416 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: about Samaria. It is not happenstance, said Philip would scattered 417 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: to Samaria. God has unfinished business in Samaria. The Gospel 418 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: of Saint John declares that Jesus sat by the well, 419 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: a well, sitting on a well. I waited for that 420 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: to seek in in. Yes, Jesus is jacob'swell, Israel's well, 421 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: and he's sitting on Jacob's well, and he's waiting for 422 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: this one loose woman, this woman I called her a 423 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: loose woman. I called her loose. Forgive me, I mean, 424 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: maybe you don't like that. But she had had five 425 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: husbands in a society that forbid that kind of caring on. 426 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: She had five husbands and a situation. You know, some 427 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: of us get into these situations. It's not here, who 428 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: is it. He's not exactly with friends. So she had 429 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: five husbands and a friend. She came down to the will, 430 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: having been married five times and was living with a 431 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: man on the sixth time, and came down to the 432 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: will and met the seventh man. And when she met 433 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: the seventh man, the search was over, because he quenched 434 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: the thirsting of her soul and set her free and 435 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: liberated her and gave her the victory. And you will 436 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: remember that it was not her thirst that initiated the conversation. 437 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: But if you will and back in the Gospel of 438 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: Saint John, you will find out that what provoked the 439 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: initial conversation was not her thirst, because she expected her 440 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: thirst to be quenched by the well that he was 441 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: sitting on. But what started the conversation is his thirst, 442 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: he says, woman, I thirst. She did not know. She 443 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: thought she was a tramp. But the tramp was a 444 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: thirst quencher misapplied and misallocated, I will admit. But the 445 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: reason that she was always able to get somebody. Is 446 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: that there was something in this woman that was designed 447 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: to be a thirst quencher. She just had not found 448 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: the right thirst to quench. You missed that. Yeah, sometimes 449 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: it has to be the right man to bring out 450 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: in you what's really down inside of you. And none 451 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: of those other men could really bring it out in 452 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: the first place. But when she got to the Seventh Man, 453 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: the seventh Man and showed her why she was the 454 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: way she was, she was a thirst squincher. You see. 455 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: She thirsted for water. He thirsted for her because she 456 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: was going to be the vessel that set it off. 457 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: You will remember that we don't know her name. We 458 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: don't know whether she's Helen or Jane. We just know 459 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: that she is a woman from Samaria, and God needed 460 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: something to be planted in Samaria so that there would 461 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: be something to harvest in Samaria. No seed, no harvest. 462 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: So the woman at the well was the seed. And 463 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: Philip goes down to collect the harvests. Are you with 464 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: me so far? Come on? They told me you was 465 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: really smart in the third service, so I could drop 466 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: it in here. You can handle it. The woman at 467 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: the well was the seed. Now Philip goes down to 468 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: Samaria to collect the harvests. I want you to get 469 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: that in your spirit one. I want you to get 470 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: that some of the things that are wrong and you 471 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: are only wrong because you haven't met the right man, 472 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: that there is a reason that you are the way 473 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: you are. And when you get the right piece of 474 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: the puzzle in the right place, everything will make sense. 475 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: If you were crossword puzzles, you'll understand that you can't 476 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: cram the right piece into the wrong place. And some 477 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: of you have been crammed into all kinds of places 478 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: that you didn't really fit. But when you find Jesus, 479 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: you will find out why you are shaped the way 480 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: you shape, and you fall into place anyway. So says 481 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: the story that the woman who was at the well, 482 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: she dropped her water pots look at her shifting occupation. 483 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: She dropped her water punch and went running into the 484 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: city to tell all the men. Yeah, baby, tell all 485 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: the men. Since she knew all the men, she had 486 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: influence with the men, She had access to the men. 487 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: So the woman told all the men, the men to 488 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: come see a man. She said, let me show you 489 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: what a real man is. So after church, I want 490 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: you to call all your exes and say, don't do that, 491 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: don't do that. This teaser, I'm just teasing. I'm just teasing. 492 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to have to get you out of jail. 493 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: Just be cool, just illustration. Okay, she says, come see 494 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: a real man who told me all things I had 495 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: ever done. And the men came out to see. Imagine 496 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: a that's a genic society. Means they don't respect women. 497 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: That God would use that which they do not respect 498 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: to bring him respect. And the women sowed the seed, 499 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: and the women sowed the seed, and the women sowed 500 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: the seed. And the women sow the seed, and the 501 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: women sowed the seed. I want to start a revolution 502 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: with every woman in this room. Come out of the shadows, 503 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: come out of the corner, come out of the background. 504 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: Stop feeling sorry for yourself in spite of all of 505 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: your mistakes. God it's going to use you to set 506 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: it off. I need some sisters that can set it 507 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: off in this place. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah 508 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah. Now, Now everybody in here that's 509 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: a woman is a woman. But then they're amongst the women. 510 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: There are real women there. There there are women. I'm 511 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: not talking to all you women who never did anything, 512 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: and never smoked anything, and never drink anything, and never 513 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: went anywhere and never been in a club. And even 514 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: by the way, i've any Christian that's wonderful. I'm not 515 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: against you. I'm proud of you. I'll celebrate you. But 516 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: there's a reason that some of these broken women that 517 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: were called into the kingdom. Because you're courageous, because you're bold, 518 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: because you say what you think and let the chips 519 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: fall where they may. I want to raise up some 520 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: sassy sisters in this room that can make some knowing. 521 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: Let me hear the sassy sisters set it off. God, 522 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: I think he's about to use what was working against 523 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: you to work for you. He's getting ready to take 524 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: you to the next level. So this is a water 525 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: pot dropping moment, leaving the lesser for the greater, leaving 526 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: the form of the latter. She now runs into the 527 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: city and says, come see a man. She planted a seed. 528 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: No wonder Jesus waited for her. He said, I must 529 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: need go to Samaria. I have to go to Samaria. 530 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: And then didn't go to Samaria. He just met the 531 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: woman from Samaria. He met the woman from Samaria because 532 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: all he had to go to Samaria for was to 533 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: find a woman who was bold enough to set it 534 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: off in that city, and she planted a seed. Fast forward, 535 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: we had not heard anything else out of Samaria since 536 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: this one wild radical woman has started a little revival 537 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 1: meeting that caused the men to see the prophets. Fast 538 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: forward to Acts chapter eight, when persecution of rose in Jerusalem. 539 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: All of a sudden it got so nasty. Saul was 540 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: killing and imprisoning so many believers that Philip says, I'm 541 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: going to guess what Samaria? Because God had unfinished business 542 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: in Samaria. Something had been planted in Samaria. Time had passed, 543 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: and now Philip goes to Samaria. The only problem with 544 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: Samaria is that Simon the Sorcerer had set up a 545 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: camp in Samaria and begin to afflict the city. See, 546 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: any time the enemy knows that God is going to 547 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: do something great in your life, in your city, in 548 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: your church, he will always send Simon the Sorcerer to 549 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: counteract what God is doing in your life. What I'm 550 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: trying to get you to see is the reason you're 551 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: under attack is because God has started something in your life. 552 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: And anytime the enemy sends wheat he will always plan tear. 553 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: Y'all still with me, You're good, you all right? Breathe in, 554 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: breathe out, Shout Holladelujah, because something is about to happen 555 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: in Samaria. Samaria is up under attack by Simon the Sorcerer. 556 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: Now I'm getting ready to go in for the kill. 557 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: Simon has taken over the region, and convince him that 558 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: he is some wonder. Simon has taken over the region. 559 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: Now let me show you something about Satanic attack. The 560 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: enemy likes to take over territories, what the Bible calls principalities. 561 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: They rule over regions, over cities, over And the enemy 562 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: has set himself up in Samaria trying to stop the 563 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: power of God from prevailing in the city and against 564 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: all of these forces that have ensnared the city. God 565 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: sins Philip Clorida, God God, since Philip watches, I want 566 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: to go deeper. The enemy is over a region. He 567 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: sets up territories. That's why we call him principalities. He 568 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: takes over regions. The spiritual warfare that exists over Charlotte 569 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: is different from the spiritual warfare that exists over Tulsa, 570 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: is different from the spiritual warfare that exist over Chicago. 571 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: That's why you can't use a Charlotte weapon against a 572 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: lago spirits. You have to understand the warfare that exists 573 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: over your city. You remember when Jesus went to the 574 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: man who was with demons in Gatherines, and when he 575 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: finally cast out the demons, the demons said to Jesus, 576 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: suffer us not to leave the region. We've done so 577 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: much work in this territory. We don't mind if we 578 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: have to change vessels, but don't let us leave the region. 579 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: There's demonic warfare that takes over areas, and certain areas 580 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: are given over to certain types of perversities. There are 581 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: demonic warfares that are over certain families, and certain warfares 582 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: have taken over certain families. Grandma got pregnant out of where, 583 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: Mama got pregnant out of water, and now my daughter 584 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: comes in the house and tells me she's pregnant. That's 585 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: a spirit instead of brain over the territory. My daddy 586 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: was an alcoholic and I'm a drug adday, and now 587 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: my son has started getting high. That's a regional territorial 588 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: principality that didn't want to let the Johnsons go that 589 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to let the Wilsons go, that didn't want 590 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: to let the Richardsons grow. I know you can't say anything, 591 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: but there are certain things that run in your family. Yeah, 592 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: and you can say. You can look at your sister's 593 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: acting just like your auntie, and your auntie's talking just 594 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 1: like your grandmama, and all of them got the same spirit. 595 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: And you want to break the chain. Oh my god, 596 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I feel something. I feel something. I 597 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: feel something, I feel something, I feel something. Touch your 598 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: neighbor and say break the chain. Yeah, that's why God 599 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: save you, to break the chain. That's why Pastor baptize you, 600 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: to break the chain, to bury who you used to 601 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: be so you could rise up into who you're gonna be. 602 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: He baptized you to break the chain that was holding 603 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: you down in your life. Look at your nigh and say, 604 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm a break this chain. My uncle committed suicide, my 605 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: cousin committed suicide, my brother committed suicide. I feel the 606 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: spirit of suicide, but I'm going to break the chain. 607 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say, break the chain. You 608 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: don't even know what kind of chain it is, but 609 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: everybody in the room has got a chain that's got 610 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,919 Speaker 1: a break in order for them to be free. They're 611 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: a chain that has to break in order for them 612 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: to be delivered. Shout, yes, somebody, I'll show you another chain. 613 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: Abraham got to Jerrar, and when he got there, he 614 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: lied and told the king that his wife was his sister. Okay, 615 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: at the time that Abraham told the lie about Sarah, 616 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: Isaac wasn't even born yet. Fast forward, here comes Isaac 617 00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: with his wife. Tells the same lie that his father to. Oh, 618 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: a lie that he never even heard. But there was 619 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: a chain between Abraham and I say so that the 620 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: chain was there, and the same lie was there, and 621 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,959 Speaker 1: the same struggle was there. But something is about die. 622 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: Then let me go deeper. It used to be when 623 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: you went to the doctor, the doctor only examine you. 624 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: Now when you go to the doctor, he wants to know. 625 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: Did your grandmother have heart trouble? Did your grandfather have 626 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 1: high blood pressure? Did your grandfather have diabetes? Did your 627 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 1: father die diabetes? Why does it matter what my grandmother had? 628 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: She's dead. I'll tell you what matters. There's a chain 629 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: link between you and your grandmother. There's a chain link 630 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: in the health of your body. In the wealth of 631 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: your mind, in the way you handle emotions. There's a 632 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: chain between the two. If Grandma was prone to depression 633 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: and Mama was prone to depression, and now you're sitting 634 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: up here, you couldn't feel it, But now twenty three 635 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: years starting to feel the press. That's not your depression. 636 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: That's your grandma's depression. Trying to hook of a link 637 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: between who you are and who they were. But I 638 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: came to serve notice on the devil.

The reason you couldn't stay in 660 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: Monk's Corner is because you had a devil to fight, 661 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: and everything God did to get you ready was to 662 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 1: get you to come into an area where the enemy 663 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: had set up camp in a region, and he was 664 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: preparing you in Monk's Corner, getting you ready for what 665 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: he was going to do down in Charlotte, so the 666 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: yokes could be broken over the lives of the people 667 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: who have been praying and said, I gotta be free, 668 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 1: I gotta be delivered, and I gotta be whold. And 669 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 1: the reason there's such an annoying in this church, and 670 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: there's such praise in this church, and there's such deliverance 671 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: in this church. Is because when you got in here, 672 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: something broke in your life. If I got a witness 673 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: anywhere in the house, make some noise like your lost shimne. 674 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: So the text sense the Philip went down to Samri. 675 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: It's not like he went strolling down to Samaria, you know, 676 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: rather that at all. He didn't come to head a 677 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: cup of tea. You know, he didn't come down there 678 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 1: because he wanted to ride the fairies field in Samaria. 679 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: He was on a mission. When God puts somebody on 680 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,919 Speaker 1: a mission, hell gets nervous. When God puts a man 681 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: on a mission, demons begin to troumble. They start trying 682 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: to stop the man from getting to where he's trying 683 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: to go. Let me prove it to you. When Jesus 684 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: got ready to go to deliver the man who was 685 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: bound in the tomb of Gathererines, on his way to 686 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: the area, a storm arose out of nowhere, and the 687 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 1: Bible said that the whole ship began to rock and reel. 688 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: And the Bible says that Jesus was asleep in the 689 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: bottom of the boat, and Peter began to be a 690 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: friend that the whole thing was gonna capsize. Why do 691 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: you think that the storm broke out. The storm broke 692 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: out because the devil knew that Jesus was on his 693 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: way to deliver the man that was found by the 694 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,839 Speaker 1: demonic influencer. And I and I said, Oh, I feel 695 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: like preaching. Oh I feel something in this way. Your 696 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: neighbors say, you came to the right service. Jesus sees 697 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: I's Jesus, I's Jesu. I' chees I changed, I stee 698 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: that's Jesus, Jesus, I Jesu. I's changed. I's cheese. That's Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Jesus. 699 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: Jesus is down in the bottom of the boat, and 700 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: he's resting, and he's resting up because there's gonna be 701 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 1: a fight. He's resting up because he knows when he 702 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,439 Speaker 1: gets to the destination, he's got a devil to fight. 703 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: In fact, he's got several devils to fight. He's got 704 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: legions of the devils to fight, and he's got to 705 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: fight them by himself. And so the Bible said he 706 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 1: was down in the bottom of the boat. Jesus was 707 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: sleeping the bottom of the boat. Jesus was sleeping at 708 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: the bottom of the boat. Jesus was sleeping in the 709 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 1: bottom of the boat. Jesus will sleeping in the bottom 710 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: of the boat. Jesus was sleeping the bottom of the 711 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: moat in the middle of a hurricane. What kind of 712 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: Jesus can sleep in the middle of a storm And 713 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 1: the whole boat is rocking and relling, and the boat 714 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 1: is filling with water, and neither the winds nor the 715 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: rains had interrupted his rests. Y'all didn't get in it. 716 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: The winds you were blowing, the lightning was flashing, the 717 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: thunder was erupting out of nowhere, and water was filling 718 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: up the boat so bad that Peter was afraid the 719 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: boat was gonna go underwater. And Jesus was in the 720 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: hinder parts of the ship. He had to be wet 721 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: This is not the carnival cruise line. He had to 722 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 1: be wetted. And the wind was blowing and the boat 723 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: was rocked, and none of that woke up Jesus. But 724 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: when one of his believers called him, can I go 725 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 1: off with I want you to know that you got 726 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 1: the power, so wake up Jesus. Why nobody else can 727 00:51:55,239 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: did you hide, Lord, that seven people would say just 728 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: say say something, Say something. That's why whenever you get depressed, 729 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: that devil don't want you to say nothing. Whenever you're 730 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: going through a test, that devil don't want you to 731 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: say nothing. Whenever you're in great temptation, that devil don't 732 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: want you to say nothing. Whenever your marriage is in trouble, 733 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: that never don't want you to say nothing. Because Hell 734 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,320 Speaker 1: knows that the power of life and death is in 735 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: your tongue. And if you open up your mouth, you 736 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 1: can wake up Jesus. Like nobody else can waken Jesus. 737 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: The wind can't waken him, the waves can't wake him, 738 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: the storm can't waken up. But I dare you know? 739 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: Do you think that Peter's voice had more decibel impact 740 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: than thunder or light? With nobody else but Jesus. He 741 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: can hear your faintest crime. He can hear a tear 742 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: slide over the bridge of your nose at three o'clock 743 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: in the morning. God is so in tune with you, 744 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: while nothing else can break his rest. If you get 745 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:47,399 Speaker 1: in trouble, when you are at disease, your disease will 746 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 1: wake him up. By the way, half of your diseases 747 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:57,320 Speaker 1: are coming from your disease. I speak to every nervous, upset, restless, 748 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: frustrated condition that you have said nothing about that's coming 749 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: out in illnesses and stress and touched and insomnia and 750 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,919 Speaker 1: eating disorders. God's gonna give you a breakthrough today. You're 751 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: not eating because you're hungry. You're not up because you're 752 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: not tired of You're up because you're at this ease. 753 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: But God is about to give you some peace today. Somebody, 754 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 1: hollow piece, Geezus woke up. Jeezus woke up, rose to 755 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: the bower of the ship, in the middle of the 756 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 1: winds and the waves. He opened his mouth and cleared 757 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 1: his throat, wiped the sleep out of his eyes, and 758 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 1: the Bible says he rebuilt the winds and the waves 759 00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: and sad peace, peace, be still, Wait a minute, let's 760 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: roll it back. He rebuts, the winds and the waves rebuilt. 761 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:25,280 Speaker 1: You don't rebuke winds and waves. You might stop winds 762 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: and waves, you might arrest winds and waves. You don't 763 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: rebuke winds and waves. You rebuilt spirits. I came to 764 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: tell you there's a spirit behind your storm. There's a 765 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: spirit behind your distress. There's a spirit behind your dysfunction. 766 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,919 Speaker 1: There's a spirit behind me the problem with your child. 767 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: That child doesn't need no more of retland, they don't 768 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 1: need no more meditation, they don't need to be some 769 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: kind of their head. There's a spirit that's after your child. 770 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,399 Speaker 1: You could put away half of that man, and I said, 771 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: had rebuilt that spirit. The idle said, he rebuilt the 772 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: winds and the waves. And when the winds and the 773 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: waves heard the voice of the master who made them, 774 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: he overruled the spirit that sent them, and the winds 775 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: got slain in the spirit, and the waves lay prostrate 776 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: in the floor. And there was a great calm in 777 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: the tempest of the sea. And they sailed on without incident. 778 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: Because God always gets to the core of a situation. 779 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 1: Watch me, we pray about the symptoms of a situation. 780 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: You ask God to fix the symptom. But God is 781 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 1: after the court of the situation. Who am I helping today? 782 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 1: This same God is the God that sent Philip to 783 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 1: Samaria to take back the region. This is not just 784 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: about you. God wants to take back the region. He 785 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 1: wants to take back the neighborhood. He wants to take 786 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: back your bloodline. And the reason the enemy is fighting 787 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 1: you so hard is not just you. It's your daughter 788 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: and your son and your grandchildren that are at stake 789 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:55,400 Speaker 1: because God wants to take back the territory. I feel 790 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: the kind of power that will release suits inner rationally, 791 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: that will break the me. You don't quotever your minding, 792 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: over your spelling. I need some real praisers. I don't 793 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 1: mean no cute crazers. I mean some real praisers. Somebody 794 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 1: who will praising for your daughter, had praised him for 795 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,800 Speaker 1: your son, had praised them for your children, had praised 796 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: them for your sister's children. I want to give you 797 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,120 Speaker 1: thirty minutes to praise him like you're expecting Jesus to 798 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: show up in the room right now. Off in your mouth, 799 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 1: to move your hands, to move your feet, move your knees, 800 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 1: or move your nibs.

Let everything that have broath 802 00:58:36,720 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 1: prazy preacher. For years, For years, Pump stayed under the house. 803 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: You're with me. He would run out in the bar 804 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: and the chain would pull him back. He would run 805 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 1: out of the bar, and the chain would pull him back. 806 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 1: Somebody would drive off in the car. He'd run up there, 807 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: and the chain would pull him back. And because it 808 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: had pulled him back so many times, we thought the 809 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: chain was stronger than the dog. Somebody has tried to 810 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: go forward, but every time you tried to go forward, 811 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: the chain would pull your back. You're made of New 812 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Year's resolusen, but the chain would pull you back. And 813 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: you're starting to think that the chain is stronger than you. 814 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: But one day I saw something in front of him 815 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 1: that was stronger than what was behind him. And when 816 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: he ran out in the chain trying to pull him, 817 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 1: he snarled and said, not this time. Somebody said, not 818 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:32,560 Speaker 1: this time. You can't have my daughter. You can't to 819 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: have my son, you can't have my marriage, you can't 820 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 1: to have my life.

He turned the city 826 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 1: upside down. Since you're all standing, I can't tell you 827 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: to stand, so turn around in a circle. God is 828 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 1: getting ready to turn things upside down in your life. 829 01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,480 Speaker 1: He's getting ready to shake things up. Everything that was 830 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: tied up, It's about to break loose in your life. 831 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 1: My God, wait a minute before I'm praising for what 832 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 1: he's about to do. I want to praise him for 833 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 1: the persecutioner that brought me the way I am. If 834 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: I had to have been hated like that, if I 835 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 1: had to have been an attack like that, if I 836 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 1: had to cry it out like that, I wouldn't have 837 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: had the power taibody of the Holy Ghost. Something it's 838 01:02:41,400 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: about it's a snap. I didn't come to preach in 839 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 1: this last service. I came to bring a prophetic utterance 840 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 1: in this last service. Something is about to snap in 841 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: your life. Something that's been pulling you back for years 842 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: is about to snap in your life. You've been praising 843 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: God over top of pain, but the pain is about 844 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 1: to snap in your life. I don't know who I'm 845 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 1: preaching to, but something is about to snap in your life, 846 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: and you're gonna thank God for the trouble that push 847 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: you over the edge because it has driven you to 848 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: a breaking point, and something is about to break loose 849 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 1: in your life. If I'm preaching to you, how as 850 01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: a boy, when Philip came to Samaria, there was demonic influence, 851 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 1: There was possessions, and the Bible said, there was sickness, 852 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: and there was disease. And God sent one man against 853 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: a city of trouble. Stop pastoring this church and pasted 854 01:04:46,920 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: the city. This is not about a church, It's about 855 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: a city. It's about a city. And every satellite church 856 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:15,960 Speaker 1: is a cell. And I came to activate every cell 857 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 1: in every city that's watching me online. There's a reason 858 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: that a cell has been planted in your area, because 859 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 1: God is about to activate you like a terrorist, to 860 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,280 Speaker 1: go into the enemy's camp and take back what he 861 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: stole from you. Every thing that the devil stole is 862 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: coming back. I don't know who I'm preaching to, and 863 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,880 Speaker 1: I better stop, because I feel my old preacher standing 864 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 1: up inside of me. And what I feel right now 865 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 1: ain't even in style no more. But I feel the 866 01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:01,280 Speaker 1: power of the Holy culture, the kind of power that 867 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:06,800 Speaker 1: resurrected Jesus up out of the grave. Somebody in this 868 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: room throw your hands up a shot shot. I want 869 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 1: you to understand every city, every area, every neighborhood you're in, 870 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: every place God puts you to work. He did not 871 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 1: send you there to make money. He sent you there 872 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: as a witness in that area, to turn that area 873 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: inside out. God to give you money anywhere He told 874 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 1: his disciples money ain't nothing. I'll put your money in 875 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: a fish's mouth for money is not your problem. You're 876 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,439 Speaker 1: not there to make money. You are assignment. And when 877 01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 1: this service is over, I'm going to release you to 878 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: go in the places you've never call her and see 879 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 1: the power of God move like it's never moved before. 880 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 1: Lay hands on the sister next to you and the 881 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 1: brother next to you, and say you're ready. Get ready, 882 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Get ready. God is getting ready to take you somewhere. 883 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,200 Speaker 1: God is getting ready to use you somewhere. God is 884 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 1: getting ready to release you somewhere. I feel the annoyedy 885 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: you of the Holy Ghost in this place.

Behold, I give you 888 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: power over the head, and then power all of your problems, 889 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 1: power all your fear, power over your situation.

You're chain breaker. You're a chain breaker. 896 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Something getting ready to break in your house, break in 897 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 1: your ministry, break in your body, break in your inner chat, 898 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 1: break in your mind. Get you're ready for you to break? 899 01:08:52,680 --> 01:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Shout out the God. When Filling hit Samaria with his ministry, 900 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:36,560 Speaker 1: he revolutionized the city so much so that Simon the 901 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 1: Sorcerer wanted what he had. Get ready for the people 902 01:09:50,600 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 1: who once hated you to want what you have. There's 903 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 1: a reason you couldn't win them. There's a reason nothing 904 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:35,719 Speaker 1: you did could please him. There's a reason they couldn't 905 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: accept you. God meant for you to be alone and 906 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: lonely and walk by yourself, because He never meant for 907 01:10:45,160 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: you to become them. He meant for them to become you. 908 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: And you have finally reached the season that those who 909 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:23,680 Speaker 1: once fought you are now going to seek you. And 910 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: you've got to be healed enough and feel safe enough 911 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 1: to let people in that you've been scared of, because 912 01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 1: God is going to use you to minister to people 913 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 1: who maligned you, and you've got to know who you 914 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 1: are well enough to be ready to receive them, because 915 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 1: you're bigger than that. You're bigger than that. What's this church? 916 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 1: The last verse of the text says that when Philip 917 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:21,040 Speaker 1: hit Samaria, he rebuked the devils, he healed the diseases, 918 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 1: and there was great joy. Not in the church in 919 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 1: the city. You have not been sent to churches, but regions. 920 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 1: So when the region is in crisis, you must speak 921 01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: because your vision cannot be contained by walls or campuses. 922 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 1: The Bible said, the kingdoms of this world have become 923 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ. This 924 01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:19,760 Speaker 1: is about kingdoms. Now something is about to shift. It. 925 01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 1: Something is about to shift. Oh Lord, something is about 926 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Something is about to shift. Can you feel it? Can 927 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 1: you feel it? Can you feel it? How many are glad? 928 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:44,639 Speaker 1: You're in this service right now on every campus everywhere. 929 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:49,439 Speaker 1: This word is being streamed everywhere you're watching on Facebook 930 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 1: live and everywhere else. A chain is about to break 931 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 1: off of your life like it has never broken before. 932 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 1: Take your city, Take your region, think the region, Take 933 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 1: your region. You gotta get out of thinking your vision 934 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 1: fits within the topography of your walls. You're bigger than that. 935 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:31,759 Speaker 1: You must speak to regions a Shia. You must speak 936 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: to territories. You must speak to areas that are desperate 937 01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 1: to hear your voice beyond your walls. These are not 938 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 1: your congregations. These are your disciples, and everywhere you send them. 939 01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 1: The people God gave you are not your destination. They 940 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 1: are your transportation to go into all the world and 941 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 1: all the world's systems. And there is a shift coming 942 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,920 Speaker 1: in this place. And I can feel it from the 943 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 1: crown of my head to the souls of my feet. 944 01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,960 Speaker 1: Some of you, you're in that family to turn that 945 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,800 Speaker 1: family upside down. And you don't have to argue, and 946 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,800 Speaker 1: you don't have to fight, and you don't have to 947 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: be super deep or super spiritual. All you have to 948 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 1: do is just let the glory of the love of 949 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: God flow out of you in such a way. You're 950 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 1: not gonna have to approach them. They're gonna approach you 951 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 1: to see what it is you've got that gave you 952 01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: that kind of peace and all I need to do 953 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 1: is break the link that yet connects you to a 954 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: family or a region that is dysfunctional, that's trying to 955 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 1: hold your neck back from the next dimension. You are 956 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 1: not fighting with your devil. It's your mama's devil and 957 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 1: your grandmama's devil, and your grandfather's devil, and the devil 958 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,600 Speaker 1: of your family, and the devil of your region. And 959 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 1: the mentality from where you grew up and where you 960 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,640 Speaker 1: came from, say that the set of a principality. And 961 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:49,000 Speaker 1: because you are straining the chain, he does not want 962 01:16:49,040 --> 01:17:03,439 Speaker 1: to let you go because if you get loose. If 963 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about playing church and putting on games 964 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: and play, but if you actually get loose everything connected 965 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 1: to you, it's going to be loose. By the power 966 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 1: of God. Join hands. When somebody leaving no one in touch, 967 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: pop pop that chain like it was a popsicle stick. 968 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 1: And when it pops, he started running. I'm gonna count 969 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 1: to three. And when I get to three, everything physically 970 01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 1: ailments in your body, afflictions that have attacked your health, 971 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 1: every mental and emotional disorder, every nervous condition, every bipolar, 972 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:16,599 Speaker 1: every neurotic, every distressed, every anger, everything, that has ever 973 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 1: held you. I'm believing God, it's going to break loose. 974 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 1: The storm cannot stop you. Greiter is he that is 975 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:34,640 Speaker 1: in you than he that's in the world. Squeeze that 976 01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:39,240 Speaker 1: hand you're holding. The enemy doesn't want her to have peace. 977 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 1: He doesn't want him to have peace because they are 978 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: a chain breaker. Somebody slipped back from the first service 979 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,600 Speaker 1: to be in the second service. Something just told you 980 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 1: to stay there. God's got something else for you. You're 981 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time. We're getting 982 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,880 Speaker 1: ready to pop something in this place. Hollylujah. If your 983 01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,720 Speaker 1: on line getting ready for it to pop, it's going 984 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:27,760 Speaker 1: to pop. The thing you're fighting is not yours.
