1
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,249
How many of you ever heard
gossip about yourself from somebody

2
00:00:12,297 --> 00:00:12,817
else?

3
00:00:12,961 --> 00:00:13,569
How many of you?

4
00:00:13,617 --> 00:00:15,145
You ever hear and you found out.

5
00:00:15,185 --> 00:00:17,569
A friend or a loved one was
talking about you?

6
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:18,325
How many?

7
00:00:18,785 --> 00:00:19,645
Okay.

8
00:00:20,225 --> 00:00:23,585
And how many of you, when you
heard it, your initial response was,

9
00:00:23,625 --> 00:00:24,805
I'm mad now.

10
00:00:25,105 --> 00:00:26,567
Oh, I'm mad now.

11
00:00:26,721 --> 00:00:27,275
I am.

12
00:00:27,355 --> 00:00:28,635
I can't believe that.

13
00:00:28,715 --> 00:00:29,659
Say it to my face.

14
00:00:29,707 --> 00:00:32,059
This Thanksgiving, when we're together.

15
00:00:32,227 --> 00:00:33,615
Say it at the table.

16
00:00:34,035 --> 00:00:35,695
Say it over the turkey.

17
00:00:37,795 --> 00:00:43,083
And the yams and the greens
and say, you know, or you or how

18
00:00:43,099 --> 00:00:45,315
many of you ever heard
somebody's talking about you on the

19
00:00:45,355 --> 00:00:49,707
job and you find out that one
of your co workers, that you hooked

20
00:00:49,731 --> 00:00:52,147
them up with an extra break
and you did whatever they were talking

21
00:00:52,171 --> 00:00:52,927
about you?

22
00:00:53,051 --> 00:00:55,035
And how did that make you feel?

23
00:00:55,815 --> 00:00:57,835
Here's the question I have for you.

24
00:00:58,495 --> 00:01:00,863
How do you think it feels when.

25
00:01:00,919 --> 00:01:03,395
God hears the way you talk
about yourself?

26
00:01:06,215 --> 00:01:08,075
Oh, y'all aren't ready for this.

27
00:01:08,935 --> 00:01:14,071
Like, you get more upset about
somebody else's gossip than you do

28
00:01:14,103 --> 00:01:15,715
about your self talk.

29
00:01:16,215 --> 00:01:18,675
You, oh, I'm coming for you today.

30
00:01:19,095 --> 00:01:22,487
You talk about yourself worse
than they talked about you.

31
00:01:22,551 --> 00:01:25,859
And you would never tolerate
gossip while why are you tolerating

32
00:01:25,907 --> 00:01:26,803
the voice that.

33
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:29,387
Is narrating your life and
your identity.

34
00:01:29,451 --> 00:01:30,243
In your own head?

35
00:01:30,339 --> 00:01:33,575
So I'm here to stop the self
gossip today.

36
00:01:34,035 --> 00:01:35,855
Oh, I'm speaking in you.

37
00:01:36,395 --> 00:01:40,695
Because the only gossip that
works is the gossip you believe.

38
00:01:43,795 --> 00:01:47,027
The only gossip that works is
the stuff that you believe.

39
00:01:47,131 --> 00:01:48,531
And the only reason why you would.

40
00:01:48,563 --> 00:01:50,755
Entertain the gossip is
because you believe.

41
00:01:50,795 --> 00:01:52,815
There'S some facet of truth to it.

42
00:01:53,335 --> 00:01:57,199
And so the most poisonous
gossip is the way we talk about ourselves,

43
00:01:57,287 --> 00:01:59,915
but it's the one we get the
least angry about.

44
00:02:00,695 --> 00:02:04,271
So I wish something on the
inside of you would start to get

45
00:02:04,343 --> 00:02:08,239
righteously indignant and say,
I'm going to get mad when the old

46
00:02:08,287 --> 00:02:10,023
me talks about the new me.

47
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:14,735
I'm going to get mad when the
old me starts talking about the new

48
00:02:14,775 --> 00:02:15,119
me.

49
00:02:15,207 --> 00:02:18,135
Because what we need is to
come into alignment with the voice

50
00:02:18,175 --> 00:02:20,395
of the Father about who we are.

51
00:02:22,455 --> 00:02:23,471
You know what?

52
00:02:23,623 --> 00:02:25,543
The Lord's been showing me something.

53
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:29,351
And what the Lord's been
telling me is that I have to look

54
00:02:29,383 --> 00:02:34,439
at Pastor Jocelyn and I have
to see what's inside of Pastor Jocelyn.

55
00:02:34,567 --> 00:02:37,391
And I have to dignify her as a
woman of God.

56
00:02:37,503 --> 00:02:40,551
And I have to treat her
greater than even the people she

57
00:02:40,583 --> 00:02:41,955
holds in high esteem.

58
00:02:42,655 --> 00:02:46,467
Pastor Eddie and I are getting
ready to embark on an adventure to

59
00:02:46,491 --> 00:02:49,859
go teach in Reformation sites
in Germany and Switzerland.

60
00:02:49,987 --> 00:02:50,635
But you know what?

61
00:02:50,675 --> 00:02:55,055
Pastor Eddie, for me to treat
you any less than Luther is sin,

62
00:02:55,555 --> 00:02:58,535
because this world needs
somebody greater than Luther.

63
00:02:58,955 --> 00:03:03,659
For me to treat you any less
than Spurgeon is now a sin, because

64
00:03:03,707 --> 00:03:05,935
the world needs greater than Spurgeon.

65
00:03:06,555 --> 00:03:07,107
This is.

66
00:03:07,171 --> 00:03:07,707
Oh, come on.

67
00:03:07,731 --> 00:03:08,655
I'm speaking.

68
00:03:09,195 --> 00:03:10,627
We hold these men of God.

69
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,147
Oh, the David Wilkerson.

70
00:03:12,251 --> 00:03:15,931
But to treat me less than
David is a sin, because we need greater

71
00:03:15,963 --> 00:03:18,335
than David Wilkerson for the
times we're in.

72
00:03:19,215 --> 00:03:22,671
And so I'm breaking that
spirit of familiarity in our midst,

73
00:03:22,783 --> 00:03:25,791
and I'm calling out your
greatness, and I'm speaking into.

74
00:03:25,823 --> 00:03:29,663
Your identity, and I'm calling
forth an upgrade, because the world

75
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,063
needs greater than Luther.

76
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:32,871
It needs greater than Spurgeon.

77
00:03:32,943 --> 00:03:33,343
It needs.

78
00:03:33,399 --> 00:03:34,863
It needs greater than Wilkerson.

79
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:35,863
It needs you.

80
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:37,511
It's your time to rise up.

81
00:03:37,583 --> 00:03:40,455
It's your time to go into the
gang infested neighborhoods.

82
00:03:40,535 --> 00:03:43,591
It's your time to go into the
workplace, Gen Z.

83
00:03:43,703 --> 00:03:47,031
It's your time to go into that
school and turn it upside down with

84
00:03:47,063 --> 00:03:50,339
the revival that comes from
preaching and unapologetic, energetic

85
00:03:50,387 --> 00:03:51,851
gospel of Jesus Christ.

86
00:03:51,963 --> 00:03:56,099
But you can't upgrade your
reality until you allow him to upgrade

87
00:03:56,147 --> 00:03:57,215
your identity.

88
00:03:59,435 --> 00:04:01,803
Oh, y'all ain't gonna help me
preach this one.

89
00:04:01,939 --> 00:04:03,771
Why don't you just stand to
your feet right now?

90
00:04:03,803 --> 00:04:05,275
Cause we're gonna do something together.

91
00:04:05,435 --> 00:04:06,883
And we're gonna let every
demon in.

92
00:04:06,899 --> 00:04:08,243
Hell hear us do this.

93
00:04:08,379 --> 00:04:10,555
Up on every screen at every location.

94
00:04:10,635 --> 00:04:14,435
Right now is Ephesians,
chapter one, verses three through

95
00:04:14,475 --> 00:04:15,055
14.

96
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:18,391
And what we're gonna do as a
church is we're going to declare

97
00:04:18,423 --> 00:04:20,503
the word of God out loud together.

98
00:04:20,679 --> 00:04:23,195
But before we do that, let me
just tell you.

99
00:04:23,495 --> 00:04:27,115
When it changes in your
thinking, it changes in your living.

100
00:04:27,495 --> 00:04:28,631
Oh, I'm trying to help you.

101
00:04:28,663 --> 00:04:31,463
When it changes in your
thinking, it changes in your living.

102
00:04:31,559 --> 00:04:34,375
As a man thinks in his heart,
so is he.

103
00:04:34,495 --> 00:04:36,575
And so God is trying to change something.

104
00:04:36,695 --> 00:04:40,183
Listen, there's a reason why
my book keeps perpetually hitting

105
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,367
bestseller list.

106
00:04:41,471 --> 00:04:44,111
Because it's virtually zero marketing.

107
00:04:44,223 --> 00:04:47,399
It's people reading the book,
getting free and buying copies for

108
00:04:47,447 --> 00:04:48,423
everybody they know.

109
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:52,007
There's a woman who wrote me
last night who said, I am now buying

110
00:04:52,071 --> 00:04:55,295
copies of your book for every
incarcerated friend I have.

111
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:59,543
And we're sending it into the
prison system so that they can experience

112
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,551
freedom while they're on the inside.

113
00:05:01,703 --> 00:05:03,807
Because freedom happens here.

114
00:05:03,991 --> 00:05:05,655
It's not the absence of bars.

115
00:05:05,695 --> 00:05:07,995
It's the presence of Jesus Christ.

116
00:05:08,415 --> 00:05:11,327
And so we've got to begin to
be people of the Word.

117
00:05:11,391 --> 00:05:12,703
And let me While you're
standing on.

118
00:05:12,719 --> 00:05:14,637
Your feet with me, Let me just
tell you this.

119
00:05:14,661 --> 00:05:16,465
We're in the time before the time.

120
00:05:17,365 --> 00:05:20,909
And right now everybody
thinks, oh, the election went smoothly.

121
00:05:20,997 --> 00:05:22,717
We're not having riots in our streets.

122
00:05:22,741 --> 00:05:24,877
They didn't burn down our
cities, we'll be okay.

123
00:05:24,981 --> 00:05:25,981
And they're chilling.

124
00:05:26,013 --> 00:05:28,381
Oh, I guess we're all, I guess
everything's going to get better.

125
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:31,757
Oh, Putin and, you know,
Zelensky are having conversations

126
00:05:31,821 --> 00:05:35,845
with Trump and maybe the
global, you know, wars are about

127
00:05:35,885 --> 00:05:36,445
to subside.

128
00:05:36,485 --> 00:05:40,145
But let me just tell you in
wisdom, don't be unwise.

129
00:05:40,915 --> 00:05:42,475
Don't be so easily deceived.

130
00:05:42,515 --> 00:05:44,299
We're in the time before the time.

131
00:05:44,467 --> 00:05:45,595
What does that mean?

132
00:05:45,715 --> 00:05:50,851
It means that God is trying to
do something in your identity before

133
00:05:50,923 --> 00:05:51,975
what's next.

134
00:05:52,555 --> 00:05:57,291
God is trying to bring you
into the cocoon so that he can transform

135
00:05:57,363 --> 00:05:59,955
you from a caterpillar to a butterfly.

136
00:06:00,115 --> 00:06:04,187
And the word of the Lord for
this house is, be still and know

137
00:06:04,211 --> 00:06:05,427
that I am God.

138
00:06:05,611 --> 00:06:10,755
But be still is a much harder
test to pass than the warfare test

139
00:06:10,795 --> 00:06:12,295
for a whole bunch of warriors.

140
00:06:12,835 --> 00:06:15,747
And some of you see, we were,
we were raised in churches where

141
00:06:15,771 --> 00:06:15,883
they.

142
00:06:15,899 --> 00:06:17,643
Said, put on the full armor of God.

143
00:06:17,739 --> 00:06:20,651
Well, I have seven locations
where the people that need to learn

144
00:06:20,683 --> 00:06:25,947
how to take it off sometimes,
because David knew how to war, but

145
00:06:25,971 --> 00:06:27,267
he didn't know how to rest.

146
00:06:27,451 --> 00:06:29,035
The Bible says that when it came.

147
00:06:29,075 --> 00:06:32,107
Time for kings to go to war,
he was on the rooftop.

148
00:06:32,211 --> 00:06:35,187
He stayed back home, and
that's when he fell into infidelity.

149
00:06:35,291 --> 00:06:37,829
Because it's not because he
didn't know how to kill giants.

150
00:06:37,947 --> 00:06:39,685
It's because he didn't know
how to rest.

151
00:06:39,985 --> 00:06:42,993
And so sometimes what will
happen is you'll have the armor of

152
00:06:43,009 --> 00:06:46,737
God on for so long, fighting
so many exploits, so many battles,

153
00:06:46,841 --> 00:06:50,097
taking territory, winning
souls, praying for your family, that

154
00:06:50,121 --> 00:06:52,805
you never let the Lord
intercede for you.

155
00:06:53,185 --> 00:06:55,897
Jesus is in heaven interceding
for us.

156
00:06:56,041 --> 00:06:58,345
And so David had to learn how
to rest.

157
00:06:58,385 --> 00:06:59,265
He didn't learn how to rest.

158
00:06:59,305 --> 00:07:00,785
It turned into infidelity.

159
00:07:00,905 --> 00:07:02,409
And so the Lord is speaking over.

160
00:07:02,457 --> 00:07:05,665
Our house that we need to
begin to come into a time of identity

161
00:07:05,705 --> 00:07:06,161
forming.

162
00:07:06,233 --> 00:07:08,035
And it's identity upgrade.

163
00:07:08,185 --> 00:07:10,399
Whatever you think you are,
dream bigger.

164
00:07:10,487 --> 00:07:12,775
Whatever you think you can do,
dream bigger.

165
00:07:12,855 --> 00:07:14,423
Whatever you think God can do in.

166
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:15,919
Your lifetime, dream bigger.

167
00:07:16,007 --> 00:07:17,599
This is an identity upgrade.

168
00:07:17,687 --> 00:07:18,367
You're not.

169
00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:21,551
Some of you just went from a
sinner to a saint, but he's trying.

170
00:07:21,583 --> 00:07:23,895
To define more what that means.

171
00:07:24,015 --> 00:07:26,351
And, but it's going to require
you staying still.

172
00:07:26,423 --> 00:07:30,815
Somebody say, stay still,
because it's about the process.

173
00:07:30,975 --> 00:07:33,247
It's about being willing to go
through the journey.

174
00:07:33,351 --> 00:07:35,983
And so right now, you're here
in a prophetic swirl.

175
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:37,131
Do you feel it?

176
00:07:37,303 --> 00:07:39,955
You pass the warfare test, but
will you.

177
00:07:40,075 --> 00:07:42,335
Will you pass the rest test?

178
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:44,939
Because if you don't pass the rest.

179
00:07:45,027 --> 00:07:46,775
Test, you won't see the rest.

180
00:07:48,955 --> 00:07:50,323
What does that mean?

181
00:07:50,499 --> 00:07:51,619
I already prayed.

182
00:07:51,707 --> 00:07:52,851
Smith Wigglesworth.

183
00:07:52,923 --> 00:07:55,427
Actually, people would come
into the line to receive prayer for

184
00:07:55,451 --> 00:07:58,315
their sickness, and Smith
would say, I prayed for you the first

185
00:07:58,355 --> 00:07:58,699
time.

186
00:07:58,787 --> 00:08:01,187
If you're in the line a second
time, it means you didn't believe.

187
00:08:01,251 --> 00:08:02,335
Get out of the line.

188
00:08:03,245 --> 00:08:05,613
And some of you keep going
into the same line.

189
00:08:05,709 --> 00:08:07,389
And it's not the evidence of
your faith.

190
00:08:07,437 --> 00:08:09,105
It's the evidence of your doubt.

191
00:08:09,445 --> 00:08:11,037
There comes a time where you say.

192
00:08:11,061 --> 00:08:13,757
Your prayer and then you rest
in what you said.

193
00:08:13,861 --> 00:08:17,341
And you say, God, I'm not
asking you again because I'm not

194
00:08:17,373 --> 00:08:17,885
a beggar.

195
00:08:17,925 --> 00:08:18,941
I'm your son.

196
00:08:19,053 --> 00:08:20,045
I'm not a beggar.

197
00:08:20,085 --> 00:08:21,037
I'm your daughter.

198
00:08:21,141 --> 00:08:23,757
I asked you once, and I don't
have to ask again.

199
00:08:23,861 --> 00:08:26,973
It may not have happened when
I wanted it to, but you're never

200
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:27,389
late.

201
00:08:27,477 --> 00:08:30,541
And the evidence of my faith
is I'm not begging you.

202
00:08:30,653 --> 00:08:32,960
I know that you're going to do
this thing.

203
00:08:33,152 --> 00:08:34,576
Oh, I'm speaking.

204
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,524
Who took my scripture down?

205
00:08:42,504 --> 00:08:44,928
Okay, so here's what we're
going to do.

206
00:08:45,016 --> 00:08:45,664
And I'm.

207
00:08:45,784 --> 00:08:48,444
I'm bringing you through a
process of spiritual formation.

208
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:53,576
Read the Bible out loud in
your own life.

209
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,648
Read it out loud.

210
00:08:54,736 --> 00:08:56,832
Pastor Mike, I want to go to
the next level.

211
00:08:56,888 --> 00:08:57,464
What's missing?

212
00:08:57,504 --> 00:08:59,164
You don't read the Bible out loud.

213
00:09:00,495 --> 00:09:01,959
You listen to the Bible.

214
00:09:02,087 --> 00:09:04,951
You listen to other people,
teach the Bible, but it has to come

215
00:09:04,983 --> 00:09:06,275
out of your mouth.

216
00:09:06,935 --> 00:09:09,235
It has to come out of your mouth.

217
00:09:09,615 --> 00:09:11,671
The power doesn't happen from hearing.

218
00:09:11,783 --> 00:09:13,431
The power happens from doing.

219
00:09:13,583 --> 00:09:14,863
And so get it out through your mouth.

220
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,975
So read the Bible out loud and
put it in the atmospheres of your

221
00:09:19,015 --> 00:09:20,015
home and annoy.

222
00:09:20,095 --> 00:09:22,871
And by the way, some of you
can quote more worship songs than

223
00:09:22,903 --> 00:09:23,775
you can scriptures.

224
00:09:23,815 --> 00:09:25,035
And that's your problem.

225
00:09:26,105 --> 00:09:28,537
Some of you sing, but you
don't declare.

226
00:09:28,721 --> 00:09:30,409
Some of you sing, but you don't.

227
00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:31,721
Speak the word of God.

228
00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:34,817
Some of you got melody, but
you don't have authority.

229
00:09:34,961 --> 00:09:37,521
Come on, I'm trying to talk to
somebody right now.

230
00:09:37,633 --> 00:09:39,985
You got the melody, but you
don't have the authority.

231
00:09:40,065 --> 00:09:42,441
Because the authority doesn't
come from somebody's lyrics.

232
00:09:42,473 --> 00:09:44,401
It comes from, thus saith the Lord.

233
00:09:44,513 --> 00:09:46,937
God said this thing, and I'm
repeating what he said.

234
00:09:47,001 --> 00:09:48,365
I'm a messenger.

235
00:09:48,745 --> 00:09:49,145
Okay.

236
00:09:49,185 --> 00:09:50,165
You with me?

237
00:09:50,515 --> 00:09:53,815
Okay, so we're going to try to
read this in a cadence together.

238
00:09:54,195 --> 00:09:55,323
And we're doing this now.

239
00:09:55,339 --> 00:09:58,747
I want you to hear the voices
of all seven locations joining together.

240
00:09:58,891 --> 00:10:00,971
I want you to hear the voices
in Canada.

241
00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:03,275
I want you to hear the voices
in San Diego.

242
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:05,171
I want you to hear the voices
in Miami.

243
00:10:05,203 --> 00:10:06,267
We're doing this all together.

244
00:10:06,331 --> 00:10:07,043
Okay?

245
00:10:07,219 --> 00:10:08,335
So you ready?

246
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:11,035
And I want you to read this
out loud.

247
00:10:11,155 --> 00:10:14,435
But then while you're reading
it, you should also be letting it

248
00:10:14,475 --> 00:10:17,467
go into your spirit and
thinking about what you're reading.

249
00:10:17,611 --> 00:10:18,195
Okay?

250
00:10:18,315 --> 00:10:19,699
So thinking about what you're reading.

251
00:10:19,747 --> 00:10:21,035
So let's do this together.

252
00:10:21,155 --> 00:10:21,931
I'll kick it off.

253
00:10:21,963 --> 00:10:24,855
And we're just going to
release this out of our mouth.

254
00:10:25,555 --> 00:10:31,547
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has

255
00:10:31,611 --> 00:10:37,091
blessed us in Christ with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly

256
00:10:37,163 --> 00:10:43,555
places, even as he chose us in
him before the foundation of the

257
00:10:43,595 --> 00:10:49,341
world, that we should be holy
and blameless before him in love.

258
00:10:49,453 --> 00:10:55,773
He predestined us for adoption
to Himself as sons through Jesus

259
00:10:55,829 --> 00:11:00,533
Christ, according to the
purpose of his will, to the praise

260
00:11:00,589 --> 00:11:06,445
of his glorious grace with
which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

261
00:11:06,605 --> 00:11:11,397
In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness

262
00:11:11,461 --> 00:11:16,765
of our trespasses, according
to the riches of his grace which

263
00:11:16,805 --> 00:11:22,869
he lavished upon us in all
wisdom and insight, making known

264
00:11:22,917 --> 00:11:28,957
to us the mystery of his will
according to his purpose, which he

265
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:34,861
set forth in Christ as a plan
for the fullness of time to unite

266
00:11:34,973 --> 00:11:39,431
all things in him, things in
heaven and things on earth.

267
00:11:39,583 --> 00:11:42,955
In him we have obtained an inheritance.

268
00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:48,079
Having been predestined
according to the purpose of him who

269
00:11:48,127 --> 00:11:49,951
works all things according.

270
00:11:50,023 --> 00:11:53,079
To the counsel of his will, so.

271
00:11:53,127 --> 00:11:58,415
That we who were the first to
hope in Christ might be to the.

272
00:11:58,455 --> 00:12:01,271
Praise of his glory in Him.

273
00:12:01,343 --> 00:12:04,279
You also, when you heard the word.

274
00:12:04,327 --> 00:12:07,823
Of truth, the gospel of your salvation.

275
00:12:07,999 --> 00:12:13,671
And believed in him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

276
00:12:13,823 --> 00:12:19,335
who is the guarantee of our
inheritance until we acquire possession

277
00:12:19,375 --> 00:12:22,087
of it to the praise of his glory.

278
00:12:22,151 --> 00:12:27,471
Now, somebody magnify Jesus
and worship him and praise him for

279
00:12:27,503 --> 00:12:28,647
his word in this place.

280
00:12:28,711 --> 00:12:29,435
Come on.

281
00:12:41,545 --> 00:12:43,005
I felt a shift.

282
00:12:43,985 --> 00:12:45,485
I felt a shift.

283
00:12:46,225 --> 00:12:49,485
Who do you feel the weight of
his presence right now?

284
00:12:50,825 --> 00:12:54,953
See, what happened when you
read that out loud is you destroyed

285
00:12:55,009 --> 00:12:56,045
every lie.

286
00:12:56,995 --> 00:12:58,971
You started destroying every.

287
00:12:59,083 --> 00:13:01,571
I mean, oh, there's so much just.

288
00:13:01,603 --> 00:13:03,275
In that chunk of scripture.

289
00:13:03,435 --> 00:13:04,931
Try to take your seat for a moment.

290
00:13:04,963 --> 00:13:07,091
So I keep on preaching this
thing because we're about to go into

291
00:13:07,123 --> 00:13:08,695
a Revival on accident.

292
00:13:10,515 --> 00:13:11,335
Oh.

293
00:13:12,075 --> 00:13:16,555
One of the observations I'll
make is what we just read sounds

294
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:19,095
very different than how most
Christians sound.

295
00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:21,403
Christian.

296
00:13:21,459 --> 00:13:23,255
YouTube doesn't sound like that.

297
00:13:23,905 --> 00:13:26,405
The local church doesn't sound
like that.

298
00:13:26,785 --> 00:13:29,365
But this is how God sounds.

299
00:13:29,825 --> 00:13:33,801
So the obligation that we have
as believers in this generation is

300
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:35,961
to start sounding like scripture.

301
00:13:36,153 --> 00:13:39,137
Because when you sound like
scripture, you sound like a son of

302
00:13:39,201 --> 00:13:39,885
God.

303
00:13:40,465 --> 00:13:42,569
See, this, to me, just brought.

304
00:13:42,617 --> 00:13:45,297
How much peace did that just
bring to you?

305
00:13:45,481 --> 00:13:48,487
Oh, I just felt an
overwhelming amount of peace.

306
00:13:48,641 --> 00:13:52,051
I want to talk to you about my
identity for a little while.

307
00:13:52,163 --> 00:13:55,295
I've been through many
different phases in my life.

308
00:13:55,915 --> 00:14:00,139
Short hair, crew cut, long
hair, curly dreadlocks, blue hair,

309
00:14:00,187 --> 00:14:02,963
green hair, no hair, praise God.

310
00:14:03,019 --> 00:14:06,067
Gray hair, brown hair, black hair.

311
00:14:06,211 --> 00:14:07,771
I've been through many
different phases.

312
00:14:07,843 --> 00:14:14,295
Skinny jeans, jnco, wide legs,
big pants, little pants, sweatpants,

313
00:14:15,115 --> 00:14:18,003
gangster pants, punk rock pants.

314
00:14:18,179 --> 00:14:19,147
I've been through it all.

315
00:14:19,171 --> 00:14:20,739
I've been through every phase
of shoes.

316
00:14:20,787 --> 00:14:24,043
I've been through the Jordans,
the Vans, the Nikes, the running

317
00:14:24,099 --> 00:14:26,575
shoes, the Birkenstocks, no shoes.

318
00:14:28,555 --> 00:14:29,995
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

319
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:34,235
I've had many identities, many
different things that I've allowed

320
00:14:34,275 --> 00:14:35,411
to define me.

321
00:14:35,563 --> 00:14:36,187
But.

322
00:14:36,331 --> 00:14:41,255
And life for me has been very
hard to figure out what I am.

323
00:14:41,855 --> 00:14:45,111
And if you're anything like
me, you've struggled with your identity.

324
00:14:45,263 --> 00:14:47,079
I have social anxiety.

325
00:14:47,247 --> 00:14:48,183
And so it's very.

326
00:14:48,239 --> 00:14:51,927
I get weird when I'm around a
lot of people because I don't know

327
00:14:51,951 --> 00:14:52,847
what to say.

328
00:14:52,951 --> 00:14:54,279
I'm scared of people.

329
00:14:54,407 --> 00:14:56,711
When I talk to people, I hope
I say the right thing.

330
00:14:56,743 --> 00:14:57,671
I hope they like me.

331
00:14:57,703 --> 00:14:59,395
I sweat a lot when I talk.

332
00:15:00,215 --> 00:15:02,055
My posture is not that good.

333
00:15:02,175 --> 00:15:03,943
I struggle a little bit with
my eating.

334
00:15:03,999 --> 00:15:04,911
I eat for pleasure.

335
00:15:04,943 --> 00:15:06,047
I eat when I'm stressed.

336
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:08,999
I'm big sometimes of the year
and I'm skinny the other times of

337
00:15:09,007 --> 00:15:09,463
the year.

338
00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:11,391
One thing I've never had is a
six pack.

339
00:15:11,423 --> 00:15:11,935
Praise God.

340
00:15:11,975 --> 00:15:16,819
Maybe one of these days that
happen, you know?

341
00:15:16,907 --> 00:15:20,635
But identity for me has been
something I've wrestled with my whole

342
00:15:20,675 --> 00:15:21,091
life.

343
00:15:21,203 --> 00:15:22,011
I don't.

344
00:15:22,083 --> 00:15:24,747
Quite frankly, I don't feel
like I fit in most of the time.

345
00:15:24,851 --> 00:15:26,059
I never really have.

346
00:15:26,147 --> 00:15:29,675
I'm too Pentecostal for the
cessationist theologians, and I'm

347
00:15:29,715 --> 00:15:32,215
too theological for the Pentecostals.

348
00:15:32,795 --> 00:15:36,403
I get canceled by a different
faction of Christianity every week,

349
00:15:36,499 --> 00:15:40,403
and nobody can decide who owns
me and what I'm about.

350
00:15:40,459 --> 00:15:41,811
And I've struggled, man.

351
00:15:41,843 --> 00:15:42,757
I've struggled.

352
00:15:42,851 --> 00:15:43,537
I've struggled.

353
00:15:43,561 --> 00:15:45,369
When I was a sinner, I was a
bad sinner.

354
00:15:45,417 --> 00:15:48,233
Because I had a Holy Ghost
consciousness, and I was doing the

355
00:15:48,249 --> 00:15:50,993
sin with the sinners, but they
enjoyed it more than me because I

356
00:15:51,009 --> 00:15:52,785
always felt guilty every time
I was doing.

357
00:15:52,825 --> 00:15:54,425
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

358
00:15:54,585 --> 00:15:55,001
Come on.

359
00:15:55,033 --> 00:15:56,241
Don't raise your hand.

360
00:15:56,433 --> 00:15:57,409
Don't raise your hand.

361
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,409
But, you know, I was a bad.

362
00:15:59,457 --> 00:16:00,249
I was a bad.

363
00:16:00,337 --> 00:16:04,929
I was good at sinning, but I
was bad at enjoying it, you know?

364
00:16:05,017 --> 00:16:08,033
And then you come into the
faith and, like, man, you know how

365
00:16:08,049 --> 00:16:08,449
to pray.

366
00:16:08,497 --> 00:16:11,581
But then there's a
condemnation culture in your own

367
00:16:11,613 --> 00:16:12,821
heart, and am I enough?

368
00:16:12,893 --> 00:16:18,625
And so this is this for me,
this thing about identity.

369
00:16:19,245 --> 00:16:21,621
I didn't know how to be a
husband because I never saw a good

370
00:16:21,653 --> 00:16:21,821
one.

371
00:16:21,853 --> 00:16:24,045
Didn't know how to be a dad
because I never saw a good one.

372
00:16:24,125 --> 00:16:26,301
Didn't know how to be a man
because I never saw a good one.

373
00:16:26,373 --> 00:16:28,621
Then I came into the church,
and everybody who should have led

374
00:16:28,653 --> 00:16:29,301
me failed.

375
00:16:29,373 --> 00:16:29,757
And they.

376
00:16:29,821 --> 00:16:31,429
And so I thought, oh, man.

377
00:16:31,517 --> 00:16:34,037
The only difference between
them and my father was they spoke

378
00:16:34,061 --> 00:16:35,661
in tongues and still cheated
on their wife.

379
00:16:35,693 --> 00:16:38,341
And my dad didn't speak in
tongues and cheated on his.

380
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,545
And so sometimes it's like,
pick your poison.

381
00:16:40,965 --> 00:16:42,485
Sometimes it's like, what am I?

382
00:16:42,525 --> 00:16:42,725
What.

383
00:16:42,765 --> 00:16:43,605
What is my identity?

384
00:16:43,645 --> 00:16:45,341
And so I think if you're.

385
00:16:45,453 --> 00:16:48,705
If you've ever gotten close to
me, what you feel is the wrestling.

386
00:16:49,445 --> 00:16:50,669
You feel me wrestling?

387
00:16:50,717 --> 00:16:51,917
You feel me fighting?

388
00:16:52,021 --> 00:16:54,061
You feel me trying to violate what.

389
00:16:54,133 --> 00:16:56,645
What should have been in hope
of something more.

390
00:16:56,805 --> 00:16:59,085
And I don't preach finding
your destiny.

391
00:16:59,125 --> 00:17:00,661
I preach changing it.

392
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,941
Because I don't want what I
was supposed to have.

393
00:17:02,973 --> 00:17:04,339
I want something different.

394
00:17:04,477 --> 00:17:05,703
I want something better.

395
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:08,919
You know, the American Church
teaches how to find your purpose.

396
00:17:09,007 --> 00:17:10,799
I'm teaching you how to change it.

397
00:17:10,927 --> 00:17:13,247
Because I don't know what I
was supposed to be, but I know what

398
00:17:13,271 --> 00:17:14,275
I want to be.

399
00:17:14,775 --> 00:17:18,311
And is somebody feeling this
in their stomach right now?

400
00:17:18,423 --> 00:17:19,687
I don't know what I was supposed.

401
00:17:19,711 --> 00:17:21,687
To be, but I know what I want
to be.

402
00:17:21,871 --> 00:17:23,519
I look around at all my family.

403
00:17:23,567 --> 00:17:25,311
I look at all of them, those.

404
00:17:25,383 --> 00:17:28,559
Degenerates, they're drinking
themselves to death, smoking themselves

405
00:17:28,607 --> 00:17:32,047
to death, snorting themselves
to death, cussing themselves out

406
00:17:32,071 --> 00:17:34,943
of relationships, gossiping
themselves out of unity.

407
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:37,075
And I looked at all that, and
I said, and I don't know what I was

408
00:17:37,115 --> 00:17:38,827
supposed to be, but I know
what I want to be.

409
00:17:38,851 --> 00:17:40,015
And it's not that.

410
00:17:40,675 --> 00:17:43,427
Sometimes, in the lack of
mentorship, the best you can do is

411
00:17:43,451 --> 00:17:45,775
define yourself by what you
don't want to be.

412
00:17:46,435 --> 00:17:50,363
I'm speaking to somebody I
thought of myself, I don't know how

413
00:17:50,379 --> 00:17:51,051
to be a good.

414
00:17:51,123 --> 00:17:51,771
A good man.

415
00:17:51,803 --> 00:17:54,775
But if I'm the opposite of
what I've seen, that's probably close.

416
00:17:56,395 --> 00:17:58,251
I'm just setting the stage for
this message.

417
00:17:58,283 --> 00:17:59,335
Are you with me?

418
00:17:59,715 --> 00:18:00,575
Okay.

419
00:18:01,765 --> 00:18:05,733
I want to give you our true
identity in Christ, because this

420
00:18:05,749 --> 00:18:09,285
is the journey that I've been
on, and this is the journey I'm still

421
00:18:09,325 --> 00:18:09,837
on.

422
00:18:09,981 --> 00:18:13,917
I have not figured it out, but
I'm a much further along than I used

423
00:18:13,941 --> 00:18:14,549
to be.

424
00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:15,985
I'm getting better.

425
00:18:17,045 --> 00:18:18,745
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

426
00:18:19,245 --> 00:18:21,205
So I want you to write these down.

427
00:18:21,365 --> 00:18:24,493
I'm going to give you A
through J, and we're going to start

428
00:18:24,509 --> 00:18:29,059
with A, because these are the
truths that are gonna buck up against

429
00:18:29,107 --> 00:18:30,015
the lies.

430
00:18:30,475 --> 00:18:34,523
So the truth is, if you've
confessed Christ as your Savior,

431
00:18:34,659 --> 00:18:36,175
you're a new creation.

432
00:18:36,555 --> 00:18:38,599
That's 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

433
00:18:38,766 --> 00:18:40,651
2nd Corinthians 5:17.

434
00:18:40,723 --> 00:18:41,795
That's the truth.

435
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:43,883
The truth is, you feel like a
new creation.

436
00:18:43,939 --> 00:18:44,923
What's the lie?

437
00:18:45,059 --> 00:18:47,507
The lie is you're the old thing.

438
00:18:47,691 --> 00:18:49,179
You're never gonna get better.

439
00:18:49,267 --> 00:18:50,931
You're never gonna be totally free.

440
00:18:51,003 --> 00:18:52,403
You're always gonna be a sham.

441
00:18:52,499 --> 00:18:57,473
You know, most people, they
struggle with a feeling of counterfeit.

442
00:18:57,609 --> 00:18:58,897
I feel like I'm fake.

443
00:18:59,001 --> 00:19:01,369
I feel like imposter syndrome.

444
00:19:01,497 --> 00:19:03,289
You know, I don't.

445
00:19:03,337 --> 00:19:06,553
I dare not tell their story,
but I have.

446
00:19:06,649 --> 00:19:10,393
I'm friends with some of the
most prominent preachers of our day,

447
00:19:10,569 --> 00:19:13,937
and I can't tell you how many
times they've messaged me after we've

448
00:19:13,961 --> 00:19:17,617
done an event together, and
they've said, pastor Mike, I'm in

449
00:19:17,641 --> 00:19:18,817
my hotel room.

450
00:19:18,961 --> 00:19:20,881
All the emotion has worn off.

451
00:19:21,033 --> 00:19:24,965
I'm weeping uncontrollably
because I feel like an imposter.

452
00:19:25,305 --> 00:19:27,425
Who am I to draw those crowds?

453
00:19:27,585 --> 00:19:29,665
Who am I to preach the way I preach?

454
00:19:29,785 --> 00:19:31,649
Who am I to say what I say?

455
00:19:31,777 --> 00:19:32,945
I know where I come from.

456
00:19:32,985 --> 00:19:33,753
Who am I?

457
00:19:33,889 --> 00:19:37,545
And in the quiet and the
stillness of their hotel room, they're

458
00:19:37,585 --> 00:19:40,765
crying under the weight of an
identity crisis.

459
00:19:41,225 --> 00:19:45,793
And so if you think that
accomplishment is going to actually

460
00:19:45,969 --> 00:19:50,277
remediate the problem in your
identity, I just want to tell you,

461
00:19:50,301 --> 00:19:52,757
on behalf of all of us who
have accomplished a few things in

462
00:19:52,781 --> 00:19:57,669
our life, accomplishment does
not give you an identity.

463
00:19:57,837 --> 00:20:02,505
Matter of fact, accomplishment
on top of identity confusion will

464
00:20:02,845 --> 00:20:04,625
exasperate the confusion.

465
00:20:05,125 --> 00:20:09,205
Accomplishment on top of
identity confusion will inflame the

466
00:20:09,245 --> 00:20:10,109
confusion.

467
00:20:10,277 --> 00:20:13,743
Because identity is not
supposed to be achieved.

468
00:20:13,919 --> 00:20:16,475
Identity is only supposed to
be received.

469
00:20:16,775 --> 00:20:20,455
And if you achieve your
identity and that's the basis for

470
00:20:20,495 --> 00:20:24,047
forming your identity, then
you create a competition.

471
00:20:24,231 --> 00:20:27,599
But if you receive your
identity, then that is the basis

472
00:20:27,647 --> 00:20:28,887
for celebration.

473
00:20:29,071 --> 00:20:31,543
And so when we read the
scripture in the book of Ephesians,

474
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:35,727
the reason why I cried is
because I felt I spent my entire

475
00:20:35,791 --> 00:20:36,807
life fighting.

476
00:20:36,951 --> 00:20:42,365
The reason why I actually
named my book inherit your freedom

477
00:20:42,535 --> 00:20:46,865
is because what the publisher
wanted me to do is to write the book

478
00:20:46,905 --> 00:20:49,125
for our generation on deliverance.

479
00:20:49,425 --> 00:20:51,953
And they said, we believe
you're the Derek Prince.

480
00:20:52,009 --> 00:20:54,601
We believe that you're the
next generation, that you're to write

481
00:20:54,633 --> 00:20:58,529
the, you know, the perennial
book on deliverance.

482
00:20:58,577 --> 00:21:01,201
And, you know, if you look at
Derek Prince's book, it's called

483
00:21:01,273 --> 00:21:03,073
they shall expel demons.

484
00:21:03,209 --> 00:21:04,685
That's a tough title.

485
00:21:05,225 --> 00:21:06,765
That'll fire you up.

486
00:21:07,145 --> 00:21:09,193
They shall expel demons.

487
00:21:09,249 --> 00:21:10,565
Isn't that empowering?

488
00:21:10,965 --> 00:21:13,865
They shall expel demons.

489
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:18,061
So when I was thinking about
this book and I was thinking about

490
00:21:18,093 --> 00:21:22,869
my life, and I've cast demons
all over the world, of course, initially

491
00:21:22,917 --> 00:21:25,701
I went to all these titles
where I was like, I want to.

492
00:21:25,773 --> 00:21:28,061
I want it to be an empowering title.

493
00:21:28,213 --> 00:21:30,709
I want it to be something that
commissions people.

494
00:21:30,837 --> 00:21:31,269
I want.

495
00:21:31,317 --> 00:21:35,865
But then all of a sudden, as I
went deeper, I realized my story

496
00:21:36,255 --> 00:21:38,075
is a story of inheritance.

497
00:21:39,455 --> 00:21:43,359
And the way that deliverance
flows from this house is an impartation

498
00:21:43,407 --> 00:21:44,555
of identity.

499
00:21:45,215 --> 00:21:48,355
And because I've never gone
looking for demons.

500
00:21:48,655 --> 00:21:52,967
But what I try to do is impart
to people what the Holy Spirit imparted

501
00:21:52,991 --> 00:21:54,055
to me, an identity.

502
00:21:54,175 --> 00:21:58,351
And usually as that begins to
happen, every demon that contradicts

503
00:21:58,383 --> 00:22:01,367
the truth of what God is
saying about their identity starts

504
00:22:01,391 --> 00:22:04,983
to get so intimidated in that
environment, they start manifesting.

505
00:22:05,159 --> 00:22:06,911
And then we cast him out.

506
00:22:07,063 --> 00:22:11,395
And so the title of the book
had to be inherit your freedom because

507
00:22:11,895 --> 00:22:16,751
the truth is, the hero of the
story was not David, because you

508
00:22:16,783 --> 00:22:20,551
don't kill a giant with a
sling and a stone, but an anointed

509
00:22:20,623 --> 00:22:23,475
stone will kill a giant.

510
00:22:24,055 --> 00:22:28,495
The hero of the story is not
Elijah, because anybody can call

511
00:22:28,535 --> 00:22:32,447
for fire, but only the one
that God anointed will be graced

512
00:22:32,471 --> 00:22:34,355
with that fire actually falling.

513
00:22:34,915 --> 00:22:39,427
So the hero of the story is
not Moses, because no man has the

514
00:22:39,451 --> 00:22:41,315
ability to part the Red Sea.

515
00:22:41,475 --> 00:22:45,651
The hero of the story is
actually God Almighty who graces

516
00:22:45,723 --> 00:22:49,435
a mortal man, because it
really was about Israel the whole

517
00:22:49,475 --> 00:22:49,915
time.

518
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:51,235
It wasn't about Moses.

519
00:22:51,275 --> 00:22:53,315
It was about Israel, and it
was about God.

520
00:22:53,395 --> 00:22:54,331
It wasn't about David.

521
00:22:54,363 --> 00:22:56,091
It was about Israel and it was
about God.

522
00:22:56,163 --> 00:22:56,963
And it's not about.

523
00:22:57,019 --> 00:23:00,505
And I think the humility of
understanding it's not about Mike

524
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:01,185
Signorelli.

525
00:23:01,225 --> 00:23:03,681
It's about the church, and
it's about God's interacting with

526
00:23:03,713 --> 00:23:04,313
the church.

527
00:23:04,409 --> 00:23:08,545
And if I've ever done anything
great, it was me taking the futility

528
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:10,369
of my stone and my sling.

529
00:23:10,457 --> 00:23:12,321
But the Lord putting anointing
on the.

530
00:23:12,393 --> 00:23:14,177
You don't fill up Times Square.

531
00:23:14,281 --> 00:23:15,961
You don't sell out stadiums.

532
00:23:16,033 --> 00:23:17,761
You don't launch seven locations.

533
00:23:17,873 --> 00:23:20,209
You don't write bestselling
books where I come from.

534
00:23:20,297 --> 00:23:23,969
But if the anointing gets put
on that thing, he'll use the foolish

535
00:23:24,017 --> 00:23:26,417
things of the world to
confound the wise.

536
00:23:26,521 --> 00:23:28,905
And he'll say, it was never
about David.

537
00:23:28,985 --> 00:23:30,553
It was never about the stone.

538
00:23:30,649 --> 00:23:34,529
But if I put my anointing on
that stone, it'll go and accomplish

539
00:23:34,577 --> 00:23:35,265
its mission.

540
00:23:35,345 --> 00:23:39,145
If I put my anointing on that
staff, when he puts it down, it'll

541
00:23:39,185 --> 00:23:40,289
turn into a stake.

542
00:23:40,377 --> 00:23:43,697
If I put my anointing upon
those words, fire will fall.

543
00:23:43,801 --> 00:23:47,905
And that's why you increase in
your humility as you increase in

544
00:23:47,945 --> 00:23:51,401
kingdom accomplishments,
because you know, it's the mysterious

545
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:55,113
inner working of God with his
people, and you are a broker and

546
00:23:55,129 --> 00:23:56,845
a conduit for his will.

547
00:23:57,785 --> 00:24:03,965
Well, I'm preaching deep
today, so you don't have the luxury

548
00:24:04,265 --> 00:24:07,601
of choosing whether you
believe you're a new creation or

549
00:24:07,633 --> 00:24:08,205
not.

550
00:24:08,665 --> 00:24:13,089
The body of Christ needs you
to believe it so that we can accomplish

551
00:24:13,137 --> 00:24:14,645
what he has for us.

552
00:24:14,945 --> 00:24:16,665
It's not about you.

553
00:24:16,785 --> 00:24:18,929
It's about who you're here for.

554
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:21,729
You don't have the luxury of
not believing it.

555
00:24:21,817 --> 00:24:25,165
You have to believe it for the
sake of the body of Christ.

556
00:24:27,325 --> 00:24:31,437
That's why men typically turn
into real men when they have children,

557
00:24:31,581 --> 00:24:34,253
because something about having
a child for a man.

558
00:24:34,309 --> 00:24:36,653
Forces us to stop being selfish.

559
00:24:36,829 --> 00:24:39,893
It makes us think about
somebody other than ourselves.

560
00:24:40,029 --> 00:24:41,965
And you say, I got to get my
act together.

561
00:24:42,045 --> 00:24:43,421
Because now it's not about me.

562
00:24:43,453 --> 00:24:44,557
It's about Bella.

563
00:24:44,661 --> 00:24:45,701
Now it's not about me.

564
00:24:45,733 --> 00:24:46,797
It's about Everly.

565
00:24:46,901 --> 00:24:50,573
But let me just tell you, you
have children in the spiritual realm,

566
00:24:50,669 --> 00:24:52,909
and they're the children of
the body of Christ.

567
00:24:53,037 --> 00:24:55,757
And, homie, they need you to
get your act together.

568
00:24:55,901 --> 00:24:57,105
They need you to.

569
00:24:57,665 --> 00:24:59,913
They need you to declare the
word of God.

570
00:25:00,009 --> 00:25:03,401
I'm telling you, this thing's
got to get out there, and I'm calling

571
00:25:03,433 --> 00:25:04,441
you for it today.

572
00:25:04,513 --> 00:25:05,777
You don't have the luxury to be.

573
00:25:05,801 --> 00:25:07,265
Like, I don't know who I am.

574
00:25:07,345 --> 00:25:09,185
When he told you who you are.

575
00:25:09,265 --> 00:25:11,129
The question is not ignorance.

576
00:25:11,217 --> 00:25:13,605
It's will you believe it by faith?

577
00:25:15,465 --> 00:25:16,205
B.

578
00:25:19,425 --> 00:25:23,933
We are children of God, we are
children of God.

579
00:25:24,049 --> 00:25:28,989
John, chapter 1, verse 12 and
1st John chapter 3, verse 1.

580
00:25:29,077 --> 00:25:30,421
We are children of God.

581
00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:31,413
You know what?

582
00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:35,061
When I grew up, I wasn't
getting nothing even if I asked for

583
00:25:35,093 --> 00:25:37,837
it because my mom couldn't
give it.

584
00:25:38,021 --> 00:25:41,653
But when I got a little bit
older, I don't know how I did it,

585
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:44,709
but I faked my daughters out
into believing that I could do anything

586
00:25:44,757 --> 00:25:45,477
for them.

587
00:25:45,621 --> 00:25:49,229
And they beg me for stuff and
they ask me and they bother me.

588
00:25:49,317 --> 00:25:50,861
And quite frankly, it's annoying.

589
00:25:50,893 --> 00:25:53,743
If you're listening right now,
Bella, Neverly.

590
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:57,055
And I'll be in another country
ministering over thousands of people

591
00:25:57,095 --> 00:25:59,715
and Everly, be like, dad, can
I download this app?

592
00:26:01,135 --> 00:26:03,815
Dad, I've already looked on
Google and it says it's appropriate

593
00:26:03,855 --> 00:26:04,655
for 10 year olds.

594
00:26:04,695 --> 00:26:07,559
Dad, dad, can I do the two
dollar AD?

595
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:11,415
And I'm literally in front of
5,000 people ministering my guts

596
00:26:11,455 --> 00:26:11,607
out.

597
00:26:11,631 --> 00:26:13,755
And she's like, can I have
this mobile app, dad?

598
00:26:16,135 --> 00:26:20,159
And one day I was annoyed with
that and I was like, is she spoiled?

599
00:26:20,327 --> 00:26:24,235
And the Lord said, no, she's
healthy because she trusts you.

600
00:26:24,695 --> 00:26:29,015
And this is how kids act with
a dad they believe is a good provider.

601
00:26:29,055 --> 00:26:32,191
And the Lord said, mike, I
wish you treated me like how Everly

602
00:26:32,263 --> 00:26:33,143
treats you.

603
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:35,327
I wish you asked me for more.

604
00:26:35,471 --> 00:26:36,831
You have not.

605
00:26:36,983 --> 00:26:39,887
Because you ask not your identity.

606
00:26:39,951 --> 00:26:41,047
You're an orphan.

607
00:26:41,151 --> 00:26:45,095
And if you understood how much
he has, if you would ask me for the

608
00:26:45,135 --> 00:26:47,119
nations, I would give the nations.

609
00:26:47,207 --> 00:26:48,639
I said, this is why.

610
00:26:48,767 --> 00:26:49,663
This is why.

611
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,075
I said, lord, Lord, give me a stadium.

612
00:26:52,195 --> 00:26:53,731
Lord, give me more.

613
00:26:53,803 --> 00:26:54,451
I've been.

614
00:26:54,563 --> 00:26:56,171
It's not out of pride.

615
00:26:56,283 --> 00:26:59,923
It's actually out of the
sufficiency of Christ to say, lord,

616
00:27:00,019 --> 00:27:04,507
I know that if I can provide a
$2 app on the App Store for Everly,

617
00:27:04,611 --> 00:27:07,155
how much more you can provide
for me.

618
00:27:07,315 --> 00:27:09,771
You have not, because you ask not.

619
00:27:09,843 --> 00:27:13,411
You can't be a child of God
without getting benefits from the

620
00:27:13,443 --> 00:27:14,455
beneficiary.

621
00:27:15,435 --> 00:27:16,855
Who's your daddy?

622
00:27:18,335 --> 00:27:18,727
Come on.

623
00:27:18,751 --> 00:27:19,755
You like that.

624
00:27:22,775 --> 00:27:27,575
When we were in elementary
school, everybody in my elementary

625
00:27:27,615 --> 00:27:31,031
school used to lie about their
dad because we were too ashamed to

626
00:27:31,063 --> 00:27:34,355
admit that our dads were nobodies.

627
00:27:34,735 --> 00:27:37,247
And we would say, well, my dad
did this, my dad did that.

628
00:27:37,351 --> 00:27:40,407
I remember lying in elementary
school about my dad telling fake

629
00:27:40,471 --> 00:27:43,577
stories about my dad so I
didn't feel well.

630
00:27:43,601 --> 00:27:45,177
Why doesn't he come to Boy
Scouts with you?

631
00:27:45,201 --> 00:27:46,017
Why doesn't he come here?

632
00:27:46,041 --> 00:27:46,369
Why?

633
00:27:46,457 --> 00:27:47,001
I remember.

634
00:27:47,113 --> 00:27:48,449
See, this is the thing.

635
00:27:48,537 --> 00:27:52,657
When you get a revelation of
being a child of God, please don't

636
00:27:52,681 --> 00:27:55,765
get to heaven and see roads
paved with gold.

637
00:27:56,665 --> 00:28:01,865
Don't get to heaven and see
the opulence and the grandeur of

638
00:28:01,905 --> 00:28:06,865
his creation and realize that
you accepted less than God's best

639
00:28:07,025 --> 00:28:09,725
because you didn't understand
what it meant to be his child.

640
00:28:10,515 --> 00:28:13,691
Whatever you need, he'll give
it to you.

641
00:28:13,843 --> 00:28:16,603
I was thinking about the fact
that there's 7 billion people on

642
00:28:16,619 --> 00:28:17,363
the planet.

643
00:28:17,499 --> 00:28:20,955
I've been hooked on that
scripture that says, I called.

644
00:28:21,115 --> 00:28:24,987
And he answered, oh, what a
precious privilege.

645
00:28:25,091 --> 00:28:29,171
When Moses said, who am I that
you would be mindful of me.

646
00:28:29,323 --> 00:28:33,371
It was because Moses was
looking at the multitudes of Israelites

647
00:28:33,523 --> 00:28:37,985
and he was saying, why would
you meet with me?

648
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:42,669
But see, the Bible says that
Moses was called a friend of God.

649
00:28:42,797 --> 00:28:45,325
Some of you need an upgrade in
your identity.

650
00:28:45,485 --> 00:28:49,381
Some of you need to realize
that out of 7 billion people, when

651
00:28:49,413 --> 00:28:51,149
you call, he'll answer.

652
00:28:51,317 --> 00:28:53,277
When you call, he'll answer.

653
00:28:53,421 --> 00:28:55,797
This is why celebrities are
getting saved.

654
00:28:55,941 --> 00:28:59,317
Because when Russell Brand
called, the Lord said, russell, you

655
00:28:59,341 --> 00:29:00,945
got what's his name?

656
00:29:01,605 --> 00:29:04,501
Russell Brand, right when he called.

657
00:29:04,693 --> 00:29:07,197
Russell had all kinds of stuff
in his past.

658
00:29:07,341 --> 00:29:09,045
He didn't even have a
religious framework.

659
00:29:09,085 --> 00:29:10,149
He didn't even understand.

660
00:29:10,277 --> 00:29:12,093
But when he called, the Lord answered.

661
00:29:12,229 --> 00:29:14,373
It keeps happening over and
over and over again.

662
00:29:14,469 --> 00:29:17,385
We're children of God, see?

663
00:29:18,045 --> 00:29:20,465
We are chosen and we are adopted.

664
00:29:20,765 --> 00:29:21,677
Now, I want to.

665
00:29:21,741 --> 00:29:24,829
I want to emphasize Ephesians
chapter 1, verse 4.

666
00:29:24,877 --> 00:29:27,007
We read it at the beginning of
this sermon.

667
00:29:27,141 --> 00:29:28,139
But I want to.

668
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:31,363
I want to actually highlight
one aspect of this.

669
00:29:31,459 --> 00:29:34,099
We are chosen and we are adopted.

670
00:29:34,227 --> 00:29:36,803
And the reason why I can't
hardly hold back from crying this

671
00:29:36,819 --> 00:29:40,723
whole sermon is because this
is the core of my Christian faith,

672
00:29:40,819 --> 00:29:41,675
is identity.

673
00:29:41,755 --> 00:29:42,155
Identity.

674
00:29:42,195 --> 00:29:45,475
And this is what the Lord's
been doing in me for many, many years.

675
00:29:45,595 --> 00:29:49,571
And I'm choked up because I
used to be so angry reading the New

676
00:29:49,603 --> 00:29:52,455
Testament every time I saw the
word adopted.

677
00:29:52,925 --> 00:29:55,165
And I would say, I have stepdads.

678
00:29:55,285 --> 00:29:57,085
I don't want to be adopted.

679
00:29:57,205 --> 00:29:59,045
I want to be a blood son.

680
00:29:59,205 --> 00:30:01,621
I want to be a Jew, not a gentile.

681
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:05,425
A crusty, dusty, hairy, bald gentile.

682
00:30:05,845 --> 00:30:07,265
Come on, you can laugh.

683
00:30:08,805 --> 00:30:10,213
I want to be blood.

684
00:30:10,349 --> 00:30:11,677
You know, I would read the Bible.

685
00:30:11,741 --> 00:30:13,837
Mad every time I saw adoption.

686
00:30:13,981 --> 00:30:16,845
And I'd be like, lord, I don't
want to be adopted.

687
00:30:16,885 --> 00:30:18,013
I want the features.

688
00:30:18,109 --> 00:30:19,141
I want to look like you.

689
00:30:19,173 --> 00:30:20,061
I want to sound like you.

690
00:30:20,093 --> 00:30:21,461
I want the genetics.

691
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:22,905
You know what I'm saying?

692
00:30:23,205 --> 00:30:25,829
Not all of us can be blessed
to have the Perez genetics.

693
00:30:25,877 --> 00:30:26,805
I look at their sons.

694
00:30:26,845 --> 00:30:28,025
They're both models.

695
00:30:30,685 --> 00:30:34,189
Look at the mom and dad,
you'll see why they grow this campus

696
00:30:34,237 --> 00:30:35,385
off of looks.

697
00:30:37,525 --> 00:30:38,461
Look at their sons.

698
00:30:38,493 --> 00:30:39,685
They're both studs.

699
00:30:39,805 --> 00:30:40,917
Then I look at myself.

700
00:30:40,981 --> 00:30:43,745
It's like that movie Twins
with Arnold schwarzenegger.

701
00:30:44,285 --> 00:30:45,565
I'm Danny DeVito.

702
00:30:45,605 --> 00:30:46,865
Is that the other guy?

703
00:30:47,695 --> 00:30:50,023
I'm like, lord, how did this happen?

704
00:30:50,199 --> 00:30:51,135
How did this happen?

705
00:30:51,175 --> 00:30:52,435
I'm your servant.

706
00:30:53,175 --> 00:30:54,675
But let me just tell you.

707
00:30:56,055 --> 00:30:59,551
I've been in orphanages in
different countries of the world,

708
00:30:59,743 --> 00:31:04,795
and one day the Lord gave me a
revelation about the word adoption.

709
00:31:05,255 --> 00:31:08,743
And the Lord said, the word
adoption is more powerful because

710
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:11,783
when you have a kid that's
your own, you have to take care of

711
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:12,515
the kid.

712
00:31:13,105 --> 00:31:16,205
But when you go into an
orphanage and you adopt, you chose.

713
00:31:16,625 --> 00:31:18,097
You chose them.

714
00:31:18,241 --> 00:31:20,185
You say, I choose you.

715
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:22,937
See, when you have a kid, you
can't choose.

716
00:31:22,961 --> 00:31:24,137
You don't know what they're
going to be like.

717
00:31:24,161 --> 00:31:25,473
You don't know their personality.

718
00:31:25,569 --> 00:31:27,537
You don't know if they're
going to be a bad kid or a good kid.

719
00:31:27,561 --> 00:31:29,425
You know if they're going to
be a rebellious kid or not.

720
00:31:29,505 --> 00:31:31,121
A short kid, tall kid.

721
00:31:31,193 --> 00:31:31,729
You don't know.

722
00:31:31,777 --> 00:31:32,825
You don't know what you're getting.

723
00:31:32,905 --> 00:31:35,257
But when you go into an
orphanage and you look at all those

724
00:31:35,321 --> 00:31:38,365
children and you say, I choose
that one.

725
00:31:38,775 --> 00:31:42,167
See, the Lord says, mike,
adoption is a more powerful term

726
00:31:42,311 --> 00:31:45,431
because I knew every way you
would fall.

727
00:31:45,623 --> 00:31:47,735
I knew every way you would sin.

728
00:31:47,895 --> 00:31:50,175
I knew every way you would
fall short.

729
00:31:50,335 --> 00:31:53,823
And while you were yet a
sinner, I put my love out on the

730
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:56,295
line and I said, I choose him.

731
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:57,695
I adopt him.

732
00:31:57,815 --> 00:31:58,959
I want that one.

733
00:31:59,047 --> 00:32:02,711
And there's something that I
now celebrate, adoption.

734
00:32:02,863 --> 00:32:07,119
Because I say, lord, that to
me shows me the great extent of your

735
00:32:07,167 --> 00:32:07,519
love.

736
00:32:07,607 --> 00:32:10,915
You didn't have to, but you
wanted to.

737
00:32:12,015 --> 00:32:16,071
Some of you still don't even
believe that God wants to be with

738
00:32:16,103 --> 00:32:16,675
you.

739
00:32:17,295 --> 00:32:21,815
You want to be with God, but
you don't still understand that he

740
00:32:21,855 --> 00:32:23,275
wants to be with you.

741
00:32:25,775 --> 00:32:27,755
He longs to hear your voice.

742
00:32:28,335 --> 00:32:32,031
He longs to hear some of you
are so mad at yourself for not praying

743
00:32:32,063 --> 00:32:32,635
enough.

744
00:32:32,965 --> 00:32:35,453
But his posture towards you is
not anger.

745
00:32:35,549 --> 00:32:37,145
It's actually longing.

746
00:32:37,925 --> 00:32:40,677
It's, I want to have a
conversation with you.

747
00:32:40,821 --> 00:32:42,229
I want to talk to you.

748
00:32:42,317 --> 00:32:43,397
It's because you're.

749
00:32:43,501 --> 00:32:44,429
I chose you.

750
00:32:44,477 --> 00:32:46,025
And I adopted you.

751
00:32:47,005 --> 00:32:51,309
D We are forgiven and we are redeemed.

752
00:32:51,437 --> 00:32:52,865
Colossians, chapter.

753
00:32:55,965 --> 00:32:58,305
Colossians, chapter 1, verse 13.

754
00:32:58,885 --> 00:33:02,185
We are forgiven and we are redeemed.

755
00:33:03,005 --> 00:33:06,585
And I want to explain why both
of those terms matter.

756
00:33:08,245 --> 00:33:14,145
The other day, somebody close
to me was celebrating 70 days sober.

757
00:33:15,045 --> 00:33:18,757
And this person was saying, I
am so sorry for everything I did

758
00:33:18,781 --> 00:33:21,465
to you while I was using drugs.

759
00:33:22,005 --> 00:33:24,145
I am so sorry for what I said.

760
00:33:24,285 --> 00:33:26,489
I'm so sorry for what I put
you through.

761
00:33:26,617 --> 00:33:27,433
I'm so sorry.

762
00:33:27,489 --> 00:33:31,009
And while they were talking,
the Lord spoke to me and said, treat

763
00:33:31,057 --> 00:33:32,969
her like I treat you.

764
00:33:33,097 --> 00:33:34,945
And I said, well, how do you
treat me, Lord?

765
00:33:35,025 --> 00:33:38,329
And this while she's
explaining, he said, tell her you

766
00:33:38,377 --> 00:33:41,285
don't remember anything she's
talking about.

767
00:33:46,305 --> 00:33:49,639
So I looked at her and I said,
what are you talking about?

768
00:33:49,817 --> 00:33:51,775
I don't remember those conversations.

769
00:33:52,155 --> 00:33:52,747
What do you.

770
00:33:52,811 --> 00:33:54,339
I don't remember when you did that.

771
00:33:54,387 --> 00:33:54,731
What do you.

772
00:33:54,763 --> 00:33:55,731
What do you mean?

773
00:33:55,883 --> 00:33:56,899
You were on drugs?

774
00:33:56,947 --> 00:33:57,979
I don't remember.

775
00:33:58,147 --> 00:33:59,651
And I just began to say that I don't.

776
00:33:59,683 --> 00:34:02,107
And the more I said it, she
just started weeping.

777
00:34:02,251 --> 00:34:03,403
She was getting a revelation.

778
00:34:03,459 --> 00:34:06,331
I said, I don't even remember
what you're talking about.

779
00:34:06,523 --> 00:34:07,315
It was like.

780
00:34:07,395 --> 00:34:11,315
Because, see, the thing about
God's forgiveness is his love keeps

781
00:34:11,355 --> 00:34:12,467
no records.

782
00:34:12,651 --> 00:34:15,923
So as soon as he forgives you,
he burns the whole file.

783
00:34:16,099 --> 00:34:18,371
And then you're referencing
and be like, lord, I'm so sorry.

784
00:34:18,403 --> 00:34:20,375
The Lord's like, what are you
talking about?

785
00:34:21,915 --> 00:34:23,787
I don't remember when you did that.

786
00:34:23,891 --> 00:34:28,515
Because I made a promise that
I can't remember as far as the east

787
00:34:28,555 --> 00:34:29,339
is from the West.

788
00:34:29,427 --> 00:34:32,415
And then the word redeemed
means bought with a price.

789
00:34:33,875 --> 00:34:35,323
Bought with a price.

790
00:34:35,499 --> 00:34:40,275
We've been forgiven, but we
haven't just been forgiven and released.

791
00:34:40,435 --> 00:34:42,495
We've been forgiven and redeemed.

792
00:34:43,025 --> 00:34:47,017
That means that he wants you
to live in his house and he's not

793
00:34:47,041 --> 00:34:51,041
kicking you out when you turn
18, and he wants you to be with him,

794
00:34:51,153 --> 00:34:54,405
and he redeems you so that you
can be in his family.

795
00:34:55,545 --> 00:34:56,765
Let's go to E.

796
00:34:57,345 --> 00:35:00,273
And I'm going to blow up a lot
of bad theology with E.

797
00:35:00,449 --> 00:35:02,885
First Corinthians, chapter 1,
verse 2.

798
00:35:03,185 --> 00:35:06,965
We are saints, not sinners.

799
00:35:08,555 --> 00:35:11,299
We are saints, not sinners.

800
00:35:11,467 --> 00:35:15,267
There's a lot of churches
where the pastor preaches, we are

801
00:35:15,291 --> 00:35:16,215
all sinners.

802
00:35:16,715 --> 00:35:21,179
If you've confessed Christ as
your Savior, you are not a sinner.

803
00:35:21,307 --> 00:35:24,827
That doesn't mean you don't
sin, but it means that sin is not

804
00:35:24,851 --> 00:35:28,843
your nature and sin is not
your destiny, that heaven is your

805
00:35:28,899 --> 00:35:32,219
home, that you will experience
the resurrection of the saints and

806
00:35:32,227 --> 00:35:35,113
the renewal of all things,
that you will rule and reign in the

807
00:35:35,129 --> 00:35:38,553
new heaven and new earth, and
that you've received an inheritance

808
00:35:38,729 --> 00:35:41,845
and you should not ever make
your identity around.

809
00:35:42,185 --> 00:35:43,241
Oh, I'm a Sinner.

810
00:35:43,313 --> 00:35:46,441
And the reason why that bad
theology was propagated in the body

811
00:35:46,473 --> 00:35:50,881
of Christ is partly because
the pastors are sinning so much that

812
00:35:50,913 --> 00:35:55,001
they're speaking out of their
own insecurity, and they're trying

813
00:35:55,033 --> 00:35:58,681
to create a conduit of empathy
so that if you find out what they're

814
00:35:58,713 --> 00:36:01,735
doing and they find out what
you're doing, that you're all cool.

815
00:36:02,075 --> 00:36:06,307
But the other reason why that
bad theology has been espoused from

816
00:36:06,331 --> 00:36:12,739
many pulpits in this nation is
partly because people are doing it

817
00:36:12,787 --> 00:36:14,375
to signal humility.

818
00:36:14,675 --> 00:36:15,371
Right?

819
00:36:15,523 --> 00:36:18,427
And so they just want you to
understand, hey, I'm, you know, we're

820
00:36:18,451 --> 00:36:18,979
all sinners.

821
00:36:19,027 --> 00:36:19,923
I sin, you sin.

822
00:36:19,979 --> 00:36:24,867
It's like, no, we're actually
saints who sometimes, occasionally

823
00:36:24,931 --> 00:36:25,655
sin.

824
00:36:25,835 --> 00:36:29,463
And we're going through a
process called sanctification, where

825
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,991
eventually we do not sin like
that anymore.

826
00:36:32,103 --> 00:36:35,743
And if we do not remediate
that sin and deal with it and go

827
00:36:35,759 --> 00:36:39,023
to the root of it, that sin
will turn into repeated behavior,

828
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:40,119
which is iniquity.

829
00:36:40,247 --> 00:36:42,767
And that iniquity would be
visited with a curse.

830
00:36:42,871 --> 00:36:45,103
And that curse will be
enforced by a demon.

831
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:47,079
And then you're going to need
a lot of deliverance.

832
00:36:47,167 --> 00:36:49,079
And then we're going to have
to go back to where we started.

833
00:36:49,127 --> 00:36:50,355
Does this make sense?

834
00:36:50,735 --> 00:36:55,005
So I do not want us to be the
church that says I'm a sinner, because

835
00:36:55,045 --> 00:36:58,061
when you say I'm a sinner,
you're giving yourself license to

836
00:36:58,093 --> 00:36:58,705
sin.

837
00:36:59,045 --> 00:37:03,061
When you say I am a saint,
it's an affirmation of what scripture

838
00:37:03,093 --> 00:37:03,437
calls you.

839
00:37:03,461 --> 00:37:06,665
And by the way, for those of
you who came out of Catholicism,

840
00:37:07,005 --> 00:37:08,765
I just want to apologize.

841
00:37:08,925 --> 00:37:13,013
And the reason why I want to
apologize is because in that structure

842
00:37:13,149 --> 00:37:18,373
of that religious institution,
you were conditioned most likely

843
00:37:18,509 --> 00:37:21,585
to believe that saints are
them, but not us.

844
00:37:22,525 --> 00:37:22,861
So.

845
00:37:22,893 --> 00:37:26,485
And the Bible does not teach
that, okay?

846
00:37:26,605 --> 00:37:28,465
The Bible does not teach that.

847
00:37:28,805 --> 00:37:31,285
As a matter of fact, when you
look at First Corinthians, chapter

848
00:37:31,325 --> 00:37:35,621
one, verse two, it's very
clear that if you are a believer

849
00:37:35,773 --> 00:37:39,493
and you have accepted Christ,
you are a saint immediately.

850
00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:41,557
And this is why I want to go
back to the title.

851
00:37:41,661 --> 00:37:45,149
That identity is received, not achieved.

852
00:37:45,317 --> 00:37:49,067
Because in the Catholic
Church, sainthood is achieved.

853
00:37:49,221 --> 00:37:52,439
So there's a millennial saint
in the Vatican and you can actually

854
00:37:52,487 --> 00:37:55,679
go and visit, and this poor
kid died prematurely.

855
00:37:55,847 --> 00:37:59,887
But there are actually some
post mortem miracles that occurred

856
00:37:59,911 --> 00:38:03,351
and various things that the
Catholic Church claims substantiates

857
00:38:03,383 --> 00:38:04,855
him as a saint.

858
00:38:04,975 --> 00:38:05,695
Okay?

859
00:38:05,855 --> 00:38:09,775
So in the Catholic tradition,
in order to achieve sainthood, you

860
00:38:09,815 --> 00:38:13,607
have to achieve a certain
Metric, there's, like, identifiable

861
00:38:13,671 --> 00:38:14,285
things.

862
00:38:14,455 --> 00:38:20,449
But biblically, this violates
the heart of God, because being a

863
00:38:20,497 --> 00:38:25,081
saint is a status that you
receive from what Christ did on the

864
00:38:25,113 --> 00:38:29,609
cross, not something that is
the result of some sort of spiritual

865
00:38:29,657 --> 00:38:30,457
accomplishment.

866
00:38:30,561 --> 00:38:31,925
Does this make sense?

867
00:38:33,665 --> 00:38:37,025
And I want to make sure that
you get that.

868
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:38,257
You are a saint.

869
00:38:38,321 --> 00:38:39,265
Go ahead and just say it.

870
00:38:39,305 --> 00:38:40,485
I am a saint.

871
00:38:41,465 --> 00:38:44,165
Some of you, when you said
that out loud, it felt weird.

872
00:38:44,825 --> 00:38:45,845
Am I right?

873
00:38:46,225 --> 00:38:49,365
Keep saying it until it stops
feeling weird.

874
00:38:49,745 --> 00:38:53,405
Because oftentimes what's
weird is your next level.

875
00:38:53,785 --> 00:38:56,097
When you go into the gym and
you're lifting, you're like, man,

876
00:38:56,121 --> 00:38:56,985
this feels weird.

877
00:38:57,065 --> 00:38:58,645
Yeah, because you're growing.

878
00:38:58,945 --> 00:39:00,073
You know when you get up in.

879
00:39:00,089 --> 00:39:01,097
Front of people and you do what.

880
00:39:01,121 --> 00:39:03,009
God's called you to do, it'll
feel weird.

881
00:39:03,097 --> 00:39:04,849
Yeah, because you're breaking
another level.

882
00:39:04,937 --> 00:39:07,739
So when you said, I am a
saint, say it one more time.

883
00:39:07,787 --> 00:39:08,935
I am a saint.

884
00:39:11,195 --> 00:39:13,615
Your family ain't going to
like you talking like that.

885
00:39:15,035 --> 00:39:16,055
Am I right?

886
00:39:16,355 --> 00:39:17,347
Your friends are going.

887
00:39:17,411 --> 00:39:19,555
If you go and go into
Thanksgiving dinner and be like,

888
00:39:19,595 --> 00:39:29,539
I am a saint, they be like,
pastor Mike told me.

889
00:39:29,587 --> 00:39:30,355
Say it again.

890
00:39:30,475 --> 00:39:31,775
I am a saint.

891
00:39:35,205 --> 00:39:36,985
The devil is a liar.

892
00:39:37,925 --> 00:39:40,309
You are who he says you are.

893
00:39:40,437 --> 00:39:43,413
And you keep saying it, even
if they don't believe it.

894
00:39:43,509 --> 00:39:45,341
And you keep declaring it,
even if.

895
00:39:45,373 --> 00:39:46,533
They don't receive it.

896
00:39:46,629 --> 00:39:49,869
And stop letting people who
know your past but don't know your

897
00:39:49,957 --> 00:39:53,825
future determine how you think
about yourself in your present.

898
00:39:56,365 --> 00:39:59,849
Oh, yeah, you might be right
if you're referencing a past that

899
00:39:59,917 --> 00:40:01,121
God forgot about.

900
00:40:01,233 --> 00:40:05,585
But I'm referencing a future
where he sees me in a perfected state,

901
00:40:05,665 --> 00:40:07,125
and I'm on my way.

902
00:40:07,945 --> 00:40:09,245
Y'all with me.

903
00:40:09,865 --> 00:40:12,257
Okay, I'm gonna go a little
bit faster because I only got two

904
00:40:12,281 --> 00:40:13,725
more hours on this thing.

905
00:40:14,625 --> 00:40:15,201
F.

906
00:40:15,313 --> 00:40:17,365
We are more than conquerors.

907
00:40:18,545 --> 00:40:19,681
More than conquerors.

908
00:40:19,713 --> 00:40:20,857
Somebody say more.

909
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:22,689
Romans 8:37.

910
00:40:22,857 --> 00:40:25,621
God did not bring you here
just to get by.

911
00:40:25,753 --> 00:40:28,141
We're going from surviving to thriving.

912
00:40:28,293 --> 00:40:30,541
We're going from surviving to thriving.

913
00:40:30,613 --> 00:40:32,165
We're more than conquerors.

914
00:40:32,285 --> 00:40:33,741
Conquerors just survive.

915
00:40:33,813 --> 00:40:35,785
But more than conquerors thrive.

916
00:40:36,405 --> 00:40:37,757
Here's the next one.

917
00:40:37,901 --> 00:40:38,357
Gee.

918
00:40:38,421 --> 00:40:40,225
We have the mind of Christ.

919
00:40:40,565 --> 00:40:41,501
You have it.

920
00:40:41,573 --> 00:40:43,465
It's just whether or not you
use it.

921
00:40:44,325 --> 00:40:46,117
You have the mind of Christ.

922
00:40:46,261 --> 00:40:48,185
Do you use the mind of Christ?

923
00:40:48,725 --> 00:40:49,381
Oh, come on.

924
00:40:49,413 --> 00:40:50,765
That'll talk to somebody.

925
00:40:50,925 --> 00:40:53,237
Next time you're talking to
somebody, ask them, which mind are

926
00:40:53,261 --> 00:40:54,065
you using?

927
00:40:55,425 --> 00:40:55,953
Come on.

928
00:40:56,009 --> 00:40:57,681
I'm talking to the leaders
right now.

929
00:40:57,793 --> 00:40:59,993
Somebody on your team is
talking all crazy.

930
00:41:00,049 --> 00:41:02,017
Which mind are you using?

931
00:41:02,201 --> 00:41:03,313
Use the Mind of Christ.

932
00:41:03,369 --> 00:41:04,617
You'll see what I'm seeing.

933
00:41:04,721 --> 00:41:06,137
You'll think what I'm thinking.

934
00:41:06,241 --> 00:41:07,881
Which mind are you using, H?

935
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:11,633
We are the righteousness of
God in Christ.

936
00:41:11,809 --> 00:41:15,857
We are the righteousness of
God in Christ.

937
00:41:16,001 --> 00:41:16,929
Think about this.

938
00:41:17,017 --> 00:41:22,555
We are a physical embodiment
of the righteousness of God in Christ.

939
00:41:24,055 --> 00:41:25,961
That's second Corinthians 5.

940
00:41:26,061 --> 00:41:26,511
21.

941
00:41:26,623 --> 00:41:28,915
We are the righteousness of God.

942
00:41:29,295 --> 00:41:33,623
I mean, that in and of itself
means that we are an ambassador.

943
00:41:33,759 --> 00:41:35,755
We are a representation.

944
00:41:36,055 --> 00:41:40,591
When I'm walking in that cvs,
when I'm walking in that Barnes and

945
00:41:40,623 --> 00:41:43,655
Noble, when I'm walking down
the street, I am.

946
00:41:43,815 --> 00:41:44,519
Think about this.

947
00:41:44,567 --> 00:41:47,035
The righteousness of God in Christ.

948
00:41:47,645 --> 00:41:51,941
Even the demons know when we
walk up in that room, the angels

949
00:41:52,013 --> 00:41:52,269
know.

950
00:41:52,317 --> 00:41:54,261
That's the righteousness of Christ.

951
00:41:54,453 --> 00:41:58,065
There's something about that
revelation about who you are.

952
00:41:58,485 --> 00:42:00,717
You all know what you are
wearing in the physical realm, but

953
00:42:00,741 --> 00:42:03,825
what clothes are you wearing
in the spiritual realm?

954
00:42:04,365 --> 00:42:06,501
Can you see the insignia?

955
00:42:06,693 --> 00:42:07,685
Can you see it?

956
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:08,909
Do you know what you look?

957
00:42:08,997 --> 00:42:11,549
How are you dressed in the
spiritual realm?

958
00:42:11,677 --> 00:42:15,461
Because when you walk in, man,
the devil sees the full armor of

959
00:42:15,493 --> 00:42:15,757
Christ.

960
00:42:15,821 --> 00:42:18,825
The devil sees the crown of
royal priesthood.

961
00:42:19,985 --> 00:42:21,241
That's the next one.

962
00:42:21,273 --> 00:42:23,325
We are royal priests.

963
00:42:23,985 --> 00:42:25,881
First Peter, chapter two,
verse nine.

964
00:42:25,913 --> 00:42:27,369
We are royal priests.

965
00:42:27,537 --> 00:42:29,485
We ain't no basic priests.

966
00:42:29,945 --> 00:42:32,305
We ain't no wish.com priests.

967
00:42:32,465 --> 00:42:34,445
We ain't no Temu priests.

968
00:42:34,745 --> 00:42:36,165
Is that how you say it?

969
00:42:36,785 --> 00:42:37,777
Is that how you say it?

970
00:42:37,801 --> 00:42:38,565
Temu?

971
00:42:39,465 --> 00:42:42,205
I ain't no Teemo Teemu priest.

972
00:42:43,065 --> 00:42:45,245
I ain't no wish.com priest.

973
00:42:45,705 --> 00:42:48,005
What's that other site that
Bella uses?

974
00:42:48,705 --> 00:42:49,201
Sheen.

975
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:51,005
I ain't no Sheen priest.

976
00:42:52,305 --> 00:42:52,697
Come on.

977
00:42:52,721 --> 00:42:54,257
Helping me preach this today.

978
00:42:54,401 --> 00:42:56,217
Who you think I am, devil?

979
00:42:56,321 --> 00:42:57,937
One of those sheen priests?

980
00:42:58,041 --> 00:43:00,177
You think I ordered this off
of Temu?

981
00:43:00,281 --> 00:43:01,841
I'm a royal priest.

982
00:43:01,953 --> 00:43:05,009
I got this ephod from Jesus
Christ himself.

983
00:43:05,137 --> 00:43:06,961
You better recognize, devil.

984
00:43:07,033 --> 00:43:09,177
You better back up off me, devil.

985
00:43:09,281 --> 00:43:13,591
This scepter in the spirit I'm
holding, this ain't no Teemu shepherd's

986
00:43:13,623 --> 00:43:14,275
rod.

987
00:43:16,055 --> 00:43:17,807
I'm a royal priest.

988
00:43:17,951 --> 00:43:20,727
And some of you are living
like a rip off and not living like

989
00:43:20,751 --> 00:43:21,535
a royal.

990
00:43:21,655 --> 00:43:22,799
You're a royal.

991
00:43:22,887 --> 00:43:24,087
I ain't no rip off.

992
00:43:24,151 --> 00:43:26,039
You gotta bend your knee, demon.

993
00:43:26,127 --> 00:43:27,775
I'm coming on behalf of the King.

994
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:28,767
I'm not a ripoff.

995
00:43:28,791 --> 00:43:29,703
I'm a royal.

996
00:43:29,799 --> 00:43:31,751
Where do you think I got this garment?

997
00:43:31,863 --> 00:43:33,071
This garment was given.

998
00:43:33,183 --> 00:43:34,583
Recognize this garment.

999
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:36,669
Look at what I'm wearing in
the spirit realm.

1000
00:43:36,767 --> 00:43:39,001
Shut your mouth, you little
punk demon.

1001
00:43:39,153 --> 00:43:41,725
I'm here to pimp you in Jesus Name.

1002
00:43:43,705 --> 00:43:45,017
That's how you got to act.

1003
00:43:45,081 --> 00:43:48,685
Some of you are walking around
like you're in a sheen royal outfit.

1004
00:43:50,185 --> 00:43:51,689
Recognize these stitches?

1005
00:43:51,737 --> 00:43:53,001
This ain't no fake, Louie.

1006
00:43:53,033 --> 00:43:54,445
This is the real thing.

1007
00:43:54,945 --> 00:43:57,817
Some of you have been wearing
Gucci so long that you've transferred

1008
00:43:57,841 --> 00:43:59,937
that mindset in the spiritual realm.

1009
00:44:00,081 --> 00:44:02,485
Acting like you're wearing rip
off garbs.

1010
00:44:04,005 --> 00:44:06,221
You're actually wearing the
real thing.

1011
00:44:06,253 --> 00:44:07,877
I'm a royal priest.

1012
00:44:08,061 --> 00:44:10,957
This is the same thing that
Aaron and the sons of Aaron.

1013
00:44:11,101 --> 00:44:13,621
I'm a priest of my home, Devil.

1014
00:44:13,653 --> 00:44:15,341
You are not going to take my home.

1015
00:44:15,453 --> 00:44:19,565
I'm the priest up in this home
and we offer incense to heaven.

1016
00:44:19,685 --> 00:44:20,485
Come here, Julie.

1017
00:44:20,525 --> 00:44:22,585
Let me prophesy over you, girl.

1018
00:44:23,325 --> 00:44:24,933
This is why I'm telling y'all.

1019
00:44:25,069 --> 00:44:27,157
Some of you know how to yell
in your marriage, but you haven't

1020
00:44:27,181 --> 00:44:27,725
learned how to yell.

1021
00:44:27,765 --> 00:44:28,895
A prophet, prophecy.

1022
00:44:30,795 --> 00:44:33,895
Some of you know how to cut
everybody down but the devil.

1023
00:44:34,275 --> 00:44:36,027
So I'm talking to somebody.

1024
00:44:36,131 --> 00:44:37,579
You can cut your spouse down.

1025
00:44:37,627 --> 00:44:40,175
Turn that tongue on the devil
and you'll be a warrior.

1026
00:44:40,475 --> 00:44:42,235
You know how to tear your
spouse down.

1027
00:44:42,275 --> 00:44:44,363
Tear a stronghold down some.

1028
00:44:44,419 --> 00:44:45,619
I don't know how to be a priest.

1029
00:44:45,667 --> 00:44:48,187
Shut your mouth, you liar.

1030
00:44:48,291 --> 00:44:49,515
You know what I'm talking about.

1031
00:44:49,555 --> 00:44:50,267
Some of these men.

1032
00:44:50,331 --> 00:44:52,267
You were bold enough to have
sex with her.

1033
00:44:52,331 --> 00:44:54,859
You better be bold enough to
procure creating the spirit.

1034
00:44:54,907 --> 00:44:59,035
Now you know how to make every
move but a spiritual move.

1035
00:44:59,075 --> 00:45:00,059
The devil is a lie.

1036
00:45:00,107 --> 00:45:00,947
I don't know how to pray.

1037
00:45:00,971 --> 00:45:01,859
You know how to argue.

1038
00:45:01,947 --> 00:45:02,931
You know how to fight.

1039
00:45:03,003 --> 00:45:03,891
You know how to cuss.

1040
00:45:03,963 --> 00:45:05,115
Then you know how to bless.

1041
00:45:05,195 --> 00:45:07,715
You know how to prophesy and
you know how to speak.

1042
00:45:07,795 --> 00:45:10,547
Come on, Stop telling me you
don't know what you're doing.

1043
00:45:10,611 --> 00:45:15,883
You know what you're doing and
the evidence that you feel timid.

1044
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:17,803
You can go sleep with 17 women.

1045
00:45:17,859 --> 00:45:19,575
But you can't pray for your wife.

1046
00:45:20,445 --> 00:45:24,349
The evidence is that's your
true identity because you're most

1047
00:45:24,397 --> 00:45:26,333
afraid to do the thing he
called you to do.

1048
00:45:26,349 --> 00:45:29,053
The most talking to somebody.

1049
00:45:29,109 --> 00:45:30,605
Right now, all these men.

1050
00:45:30,645 --> 00:45:31,965
I don't know enough of the Bible.

1051
00:45:32,045 --> 00:45:33,901
Well, you know enough about pornography.

1052
00:45:33,973 --> 00:45:35,565
You know enough about ufc.

1053
00:45:35,685 --> 00:45:37,013
You knew enough about the fight.

1054
00:45:37,069 --> 00:45:37,493
Coming up.

1055
00:45:37,549 --> 00:45:39,133
If you can learn stats in a.

1056
00:45:39,229 --> 00:45:40,949
Baseball game, you can learn scriptures.

1057
00:45:41,037 --> 00:45:42,301
And some of you know more stats.

1058
00:45:42,333 --> 00:45:44,705
Than scriptures and that's why
your life is a wreck.

1059
00:45:45,495 --> 00:45:46,975
The devil is a liar.

1060
00:45:47,095 --> 00:45:48,555
I'm calling you up.

1061
00:45:48,855 --> 00:45:50,527
This is an identity upgrade.

1062
00:45:50,591 --> 00:45:51,775
You are the priest.

1063
00:45:51,895 --> 00:45:55,223
Just because Catholicism told
you there's one priest per parish,

1064
00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:57,647
I'm here to tell you there's
one priest per home.

1065
00:45:57,751 --> 00:45:58,959
It's you bro.

1066
00:45:59,127 --> 00:46:00,335
It's you bro.

1067
00:46:00,495 --> 00:46:01,447
Stand up.

1068
00:46:01,591 --> 00:46:02,463
Stand up.

1069
00:46:02,599 --> 00:46:04,879
Stand up and make the devil
stand down.

1070
00:46:05,007 --> 00:46:07,159
Stand up and make the devil
sit down.

1071
00:46:07,287 --> 00:46:09,111
Stand up and make the devil crawl.

1072
00:46:09,223 --> 00:46:10,853
Make him get on his knees knees.

1073
00:46:10,949 --> 00:46:12,133
Make him bow down.

1074
00:46:12,229 --> 00:46:13,669
Make him be the one that submits.

1075
00:46:13,717 --> 00:46:14,285
This time.

1076
00:46:14,365 --> 00:46:15,773
This is who I'm talking to.

1077
00:46:15,869 --> 00:46:17,613
This is an identity upgrade.

1078
00:46:17,709 --> 00:46:20,741
This is why I say we've got
more authority than the mayor of

1079
00:46:20,773 --> 00:46:21,373
a city.

1080
00:46:21,469 --> 00:46:23,637
Because I'm royal priesthood
up in here.

1081
00:46:23,701 --> 00:46:27,205
You might be the president,
but I'm the son of the king and my

1082
00:46:27,245 --> 00:46:28,405
dad owns everything.

1083
00:46:28,525 --> 00:46:30,501
And so you listen to the word
of the Lord.

1084
00:46:30,573 --> 00:46:35,869
Somebody's shouting to God,
come on, jump up to your feet with

1085
00:46:35,877 --> 00:46:36,165
me.

1086
00:46:36,245 --> 00:46:45,175
Everybody else across every
location the battle attack of the

1087
00:46:45,215 --> 00:46:49,999
enemy will will be to distort
your identity will be the the lies

1088
00:46:50,047 --> 00:46:51,355
and the accusations.

1089
00:46:51,735 --> 00:46:54,795
You have to stop entertaining
the lies.

1090
00:46:55,655 --> 00:46:57,735
Stop entertaining the accusations.

1091
00:46:57,895 --> 00:47:00,143
You know who you are now be it.

1092
00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:01,195
Walk it out.

1093
00:47:01,695 --> 00:47:05,783
Shame and condemnation be
broken off of you.

1094
00:47:05,959 --> 00:47:07,863
It's time to walk up out of that.

1095
00:47:07,999 --> 00:47:09,951
You are not what you did.

1096
00:47:10,103 --> 00:47:13,047
You are not, I'm telling you,
are not what you did and you're not.

1097
00:47:13,071 --> 00:47:14,223
What happened to you.

1098
00:47:14,319 --> 00:47:18,511
You're more through Christ
Jesus, comparison and envy.

1099
00:47:18,663 --> 00:47:21,535
Listen, if you could get a
revelation of what God wants to do

1100
00:47:21,615 --> 00:47:23,875
with your life, you wouldn't
want their life.

1101
00:47:24,255 --> 00:47:26,663
Comparison is a lack of vision.

1102
00:47:26,759 --> 00:47:27,399
It's you.

1103
00:47:27,487 --> 00:47:31,315
Seeing imparts what God did in
someone else's life, but not seeing

1104
00:47:31,355 --> 00:47:31,875
in fullness.

1105
00:47:31,915 --> 00:47:33,771
What he wants to do with your own.

1106
00:47:33,963 --> 00:47:36,691
See, comparison is only
possible for those.

1107
00:47:36,723 --> 00:47:38,627
Who are not seeing in the
spiritual realm.

1108
00:47:38,731 --> 00:47:41,819
Because if you see what God is
trying to show you, you'll say I

1109
00:47:41,827 --> 00:47:44,403
don't even want their future
because that would be a reduction

1110
00:47:44,499 --> 00:47:45,027
of what he.

1111
00:47:45,051 --> 00:47:46,211
Wants for my life.

1112
00:47:46,323 --> 00:47:46,763
I.

1113
00:47:46,859 --> 00:47:47,655
Come on.

1114
00:47:48,275 --> 00:47:51,731
And as long as you're trapped
in comparison, what actually happens

1115
00:47:51,763 --> 00:47:55,043
is you limit God because
you're not giving God the ability

1116
00:47:55,099 --> 00:47:55,499
to accept.

1117
00:47:55,537 --> 00:47:57,263
Exceed what you see.

1118
00:47:57,359 --> 00:47:59,671
And God wants to exceed what
you see.

1119
00:47:59,743 --> 00:48:00,727
Some of you like, oh, I wish.

1120
00:48:00,751 --> 00:48:01,999
I had a marriage like theirs.

1121
00:48:02,047 --> 00:48:04,623
No, God wants you to exceed
what you see.

1122
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,839
Oh, I wish I had finances like him.

1123
00:48:06,887 --> 00:48:09,991
No, God wants you to exceed
what you see.

1124
00:48:10,063 --> 00:48:11,783
There's something I'm trying
to tell you.

1125
00:48:11,879 --> 00:48:15,551
Comparison is only possible if
you're willing to tell God that he

1126
00:48:15,583 --> 00:48:17,271
can't exceed what you see.

1127
00:48:17,383 --> 00:48:21,943
No God do exceedingly,
abundantly more than I can can think,

1128
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:23,391
ask or imagine.

1129
00:48:23,463 --> 00:48:23,751
Come on.

1130
00:48:23,783 --> 00:48:26,839
Is somebody getting a
revelation of identity?

1131
00:48:26,967 --> 00:48:27,795
Come on.

1132
00:48:30,055 --> 00:48:32,719
This message is why I Didn't
kill myself.

1133
00:48:32,887 --> 00:48:35,951
This message is why I don't
quit when the people who watch our

1134
00:48:35,983 --> 00:48:38,535
live stream just to catch me
up make a video.

1135
00:48:38,655 --> 00:48:42,127
This message is why I don't
quit when people talk mess this read.

1136
00:48:42,191 --> 00:48:45,703
This is why I didn't quit when
I was beat in my home as a child

1137
00:48:45,759 --> 00:48:46,351
growing up.

1138
00:48:46,423 --> 00:48:49,089
This is why I didn't quit when
I was hungry at night.

1139
00:48:49,177 --> 00:48:51,209
Because I knew that God has more.

1140
00:48:51,297 --> 00:48:54,577
And I had to come into
alignment with what he says about

1141
00:48:54,641 --> 00:48:55,765
who I am.

1142
00:48:58,065 --> 00:49:00,777
It's not about how many people
you hear.

1143
00:49:00,881 --> 00:49:03,405
It's about which one you
choose to believe.

1144
00:49:05,345 --> 00:49:07,545
I can't stop from hearing them
on YouTube.

1145
00:49:07,585 --> 00:49:09,537
I can't stop from hearing them
in the comments.

1146
00:49:09,601 --> 00:49:11,857
I can't stop from hearing them
in the congregation.

1147
00:49:11,961 --> 00:49:14,233
I can't stop from hearing them
at the dinner table.

1148
00:49:14,329 --> 00:49:18,205
You can't stop what you hear,
but you can choose what you believe.

1149
00:49:19,065 --> 00:49:22,993
And I keep going back to this
at every stage of my life and saying,

1150
00:49:23,049 --> 00:49:24,473
God, I believe.

1151
00:49:24,649 --> 00:49:25,409
I believe.

1152
00:49:25,537 --> 00:49:27,345
I don't know why you would
choose me.

1153
00:49:27,425 --> 00:49:30,665
I wouldn't choose me, but put
me in the fight, coach.

1154
00:49:30,785 --> 00:49:32,265
Put me in the fight, coach.

1155
00:49:32,385 --> 00:49:34,145
Put me out there, God, I'll do it.

1156
00:49:34,225 --> 00:49:34,817
I don't know.

1157
00:49:34,881 --> 00:49:35,353
I would have.

1158
00:49:35,369 --> 00:49:36,857
Put me on the third string.

1159
00:49:36,961 --> 00:49:39,729
I don't know why you're
calling me an all Star, but there's

1160
00:49:39,777 --> 00:49:41,969
something that you see that I
don't see.

1161
00:49:42,097 --> 00:49:44,081
Put me in, God, I'll do it.

1162
00:49:44,153 --> 00:49:45,089
I'll say it.

1163
00:49:45,177 --> 00:49:47,993
I will become what you've
called me to.

1164
00:49:48,089 --> 00:49:50,125
I will inherit freedom.

1165
00:49:53,905 --> 00:49:56,285
I feel the power of God being released.

1166
00:49:57,505 --> 00:49:58,525
Harvey.

1167
00:50:00,105 --> 00:50:02,205
Can God give you Miami?

1168
00:50:02,905 --> 00:50:05,245
Can God give you South Florida?

1169
00:50:06,905 --> 00:50:08,405
Marion Randall.

1170
00:50:09,105 --> 00:50:12,965
Can God give you the entire
state of New Jersey?

1171
00:50:15,305 --> 00:50:16,881
Jason Haley.

1172
00:50:17,073 --> 00:50:19,925
Can God give you Northwest Indiana?

1173
00:50:20,225 --> 00:50:20,817
Oh, come on.

1174
00:50:20,841 --> 00:50:22,073
I'm asking a question.

1175
00:50:22,209 --> 00:50:23,673
Danny and Exica.

1176
00:50:23,809 --> 00:50:26,165
Can God not give you Long Island?

1177
00:50:32,665 --> 00:50:35,055
Can God change a nation in a day?

1178
00:50:38,235 --> 00:50:40,603
Can God change a nation in a day?

1179
00:50:40,779 --> 00:50:42,695
Did he do it with Nineveh?

1180
00:50:43,595 --> 00:50:45,335
Will he do it with us?

1181
00:50:45,875 --> 00:50:49,603
It's about what we believe,
about who we are.

1182
00:50:49,779 --> 00:50:53,211
So across every location right
now, I want you to just put your

1183
00:50:53,243 --> 00:50:55,979
hands in the air as a sign of
surrender right now.

1184
00:50:56,107 --> 00:50:58,475
And this right now is going to
be a moment.

1185
00:50:58,635 --> 00:51:01,047
Some of you have never
believed you can be healed.

1186
00:51:01,171 --> 00:51:04,799
But by faith, your physical
body can be healed from every sickness

1187
00:51:04,847 --> 00:51:05,615
and disease.

1188
00:51:05,735 --> 00:51:08,431
Some of you have never
believed that your marriage can be

1189
00:51:08,463 --> 00:51:09,407
whole, but.

1190
00:51:09,471 --> 00:51:10,855
But God can actually do it.

1191
00:51:10,895 --> 00:51:14,095
Some of you never believe that
you can be fertile because you have

1192
00:51:14,135 --> 00:51:14,959
infertility.

1193
00:51:15,087 --> 00:51:16,767
So this is an identity issue.

1194
00:51:16,871 --> 00:51:17,943
You can be fertile.

1195
00:51:17,999 --> 00:51:20,031
You will have a baby and hold
it in your hand.

1196
00:51:20,103 --> 00:51:24,319
You will maybe even adopt some
of somebody else's baby as your own.

1197
00:51:24,407 --> 00:51:27,725
Because that message of
adoption, some of you never see yourself

1198
00:51:27,845 --> 00:51:31,741
being out of lack and poverty,
but God's showing you the vision

1199
00:51:31,773 --> 00:51:34,021
of yourself as being in abundance.

1200
00:51:34,093 --> 00:51:34,477
Come on.

1201
00:51:34,541 --> 00:51:34,853
Yeah.

1202
00:51:34,909 --> 00:51:37,853
Right now, I feel it being
released as your hands are open.

1203
00:51:37,949 --> 00:51:41,709
The Lord said, when you open
your hands, you release what you

1204
00:51:41,757 --> 00:51:42,085
had.

1205
00:51:42,165 --> 00:51:43,789
You released your identity.

1206
00:51:43,877 --> 00:51:46,733
And now I will fill your hands
with my identity.

1207
00:51:46,829 --> 00:51:50,585
I will fill your hands with my
identity, says the Lord.

1208
00:51:53,875 --> 00:51:57,015
Be still and know that I am God.

1209
00:51:57,715 --> 00:52:01,939
What happened in your life to
this point was a result of your warfare.

1210
00:52:02,107 --> 00:52:05,051
But now what happens will be
the result of your rest.

1211
00:52:05,203 --> 00:52:09,355
For I, the Lord, will do it on
your behalf to show you that you

1212
00:52:09,395 --> 00:52:13,971
are one that inherits, not
just one that receives after the

1213
00:52:14,003 --> 00:52:14,775
warfare.

1214
00:52:18,685 --> 00:52:19,505
Whoa.

1215
00:52:20,205 --> 00:52:23,029
I feel like the Lord's
shifting something in many of you

1216
00:52:23,077 --> 00:52:27,293
right now because you're so
used to fighting for yourself and

1217
00:52:27,309 --> 00:52:29,429
you've always gotten what you
fought for.

1218
00:52:29,557 --> 00:52:30,781
But I hear the Lord saying, what.

1219
00:52:30,813 --> 00:52:34,773
I'm about to do next is going
to exceed your level of warfare.

1220
00:52:34,949 --> 00:52:37,549
And it's going to prove to you
that you're my child.

1221
00:52:37,717 --> 00:52:39,877
And it's going to be something
you never were going to be.

1222
00:52:39,901 --> 00:52:40,501
Power enough.

1223
00:52:40,613 --> 00:52:42,165
Powerful enough to fight for.

1224
00:52:42,285 --> 00:52:44,985
But it's going to prove my
sovereign sovereignty in your life.

1225
00:52:45,805 --> 00:52:46,261
Come on.

1226
00:52:46,293 --> 00:52:48,813
Just take a few minutes right
now because the Lord is moving in

1227
00:52:48,829 --> 00:52:49,945
a mighty way.

1228
00:52:55,565 --> 00:52:56,013
Yeah.

1229
00:52:56,069 --> 00:52:56,717
Come on.

1230
00:52:56,861 --> 00:52:57,269
Come on.

1231
00:52:57,317 --> 00:52:58,105
Play that.

1232
00:53:02,365 --> 00:53:04,065
Encounter us, God.

1233
00:53:04,605 --> 00:53:05,557
Encounter us.

1234
00:53:05,621 --> 00:53:07,661
God, encounter us.

1235
00:53:07,733 --> 00:53:12,835
God, change us.

1236
00:53:13,175 --> 00:53:14,355
Mold us.

1237
00:53:14,655 --> 00:53:15,903
Shape us.

1238
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:17,315
Rearrange.

1239
00:53:18,335 --> 00:53:19,455
Break it off of us.

1240
00:53:19,495 --> 00:53:23,751
The old ways of thinking, the
old ways of believing, the old ways

1241
00:53:23,783 --> 00:53:26,355
of understanding, the old ways.

1242
00:53:31,495 --> 00:53:31,975
Come on.

1243
00:53:32,015 --> 00:53:34,223
I want you to begin to say
these things with me now because

1244
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:34,343
we're.

1245
00:53:34,359 --> 00:53:37,081
Going to make declaration
declarations across every location.

1246
00:53:37,193 --> 00:53:38,793
I want you to say this with me.

1247
00:53:38,889 --> 00:53:40,325
I am a saint.

1248
00:53:41,385 --> 00:53:43,085
I am a priest.

1249
00:53:43,865 --> 00:53:45,765
I am a blessing.

1250
00:53:46,505 --> 00:53:48,645
I am a friend of God.

1251
00:53:49,625 --> 00:53:52,045
I am a royal priesthood.

1252
00:53:52,785 --> 00:53:54,073
Come on, declare it.

1253
00:53:54,169 --> 00:53:56,285
I am powerful through Christ.

1254
00:53:57,505 --> 00:53:59,245
I am a conduit.

1255
00:54:00,595 --> 00:54:02,335
I am a prophet.

1256
00:54:03,115 --> 00:54:04,975
I am an evangelist.

1257
00:54:05,675 --> 00:54:07,815
I am a disciple maker.

1258
00:54:08,795 --> 00:54:09,323
Come on.

1259
00:54:09,379 --> 00:54:10,735
I am a leader.

1260
00:54:11,635 --> 00:54:13,255
I am a leader.

1261
00:54:14,075 --> 00:54:15,771
I am a leader.

1262
00:54:15,963 --> 00:54:16,443
Whoa.

1263
00:54:16,499 --> 00:54:17,371
It's being released.

1264
00:54:17,403 --> 00:54:18,291
It's being released.

1265
00:54:18,323 --> 00:54:19,507
It's being released.

1266
00:54:19,611 --> 00:54:20,255
Wow.

1267
00:54:21,355 --> 00:54:23,691
I feel it being released right now.

1268
00:54:23,843 --> 00:54:27,437
Some lies from previous
churches are being broken off of

1269
00:54:27,461 --> 00:54:29,733
you right now in the name of Jesus.

1270
00:54:29,829 --> 00:54:32,665
Somebody needs to say, I am a revivalist.

1271
00:54:35,845 --> 00:54:36,517
Come on.

1272
00:54:36,621 --> 00:54:41,373
Some lies are being broken off
when somebody said, I Am a prophet.

1273
00:54:41,469 --> 00:54:45,381
Some lies were broken off from
a previous church when somebody said,

1274
00:54:45,413 --> 00:54:47,917
I am a leader, some lies are
broken off.

1275
00:54:47,981 --> 00:54:48,625
Wow.

1276
00:54:51,775 --> 00:54:52,191
Come on.

1277
00:54:52,223 --> 00:54:53,195
Two more minutes.

1278
00:54:57,535 --> 00:55:00,035
Somebody needs to say, I am valuable.

1279
00:55:01,095 --> 00:55:02,875
My life matters.

1280
00:55:03,375 --> 00:55:06,995
I have a destiny in Christ.

1281
00:55:07,575 --> 00:55:08,039
Yeah.

1282
00:55:08,087 --> 00:55:08,575
Come on.

1283
00:55:08,655 --> 00:55:09,395
Come on.

1284
00:55:20,505 --> 00:55:24,961
Some of you just feel like you
jumped into a pool of fresh water.

1285
00:55:25,073 --> 00:55:26,737
And you're swimming around a
pool right.

1286
00:55:26,761 --> 00:55:28,073
Now because you're free.

1287
00:55:28,129 --> 00:55:28,649
You're free.

1288
00:55:28,697 --> 00:55:29,353
You're free.

1289
00:55:29,449 --> 00:55:30,217
You're free.

1290
00:55:30,321 --> 00:55:31,073
You're free.

1291
00:55:31,169 --> 00:55:31,769
You're free.

1292
00:55:31,817 --> 00:55:32,393
You're free.

1293
00:55:32,449 --> 00:55:33,325
You're free.

1294
00:55:38,185 --> 00:55:40,769
I'm gonna bring our campus
pastors up in a few moments, and

1295
00:55:40,777 --> 00:55:43,875
we're gonna tag team preach at
every campus.

1296
00:55:43,995 --> 00:55:45,787
So at every location right now.

1297
00:55:45,891 --> 00:55:48,563
The campus pastors are going
to come up in a moment and tag team

1298
00:55:48,619 --> 00:55:49,643
preach off of this.

1299
00:55:49,739 --> 00:55:51,419
But I just want to say this
right now.

1300
00:55:51,507 --> 00:55:53,107
The Lord told me to tell somebody.

1301
00:55:53,211 --> 00:55:54,815
You are not a lesbian.

1302
00:55:55,595 --> 00:55:56,987
I don't know who that's for.

1303
00:55:57,091 --> 00:55:58,643
You are not a lesbian.

1304
00:55:58,779 --> 00:56:00,491
And I heard the Lord say, you.

1305
00:56:00,523 --> 00:56:03,535
Will be married and you will
have a family.

1306
00:56:04,395 --> 00:56:07,539
I'm telling you, he's
restoring identity right now.

1307
00:56:07,627 --> 00:56:08,661
I don't know who I'm talking.

1308
00:56:08,693 --> 00:56:11,613
I just had to say that because
it's redemptive.

1309
00:56:11,669 --> 00:56:13,101
It's a vision thing.

1310
00:56:13,253 --> 00:56:16,269
Because you've done lesbian
acts doesn't make you a lesbian.

1311
00:56:16,317 --> 00:56:17,861
You are not what you did.

1312
00:56:17,973 --> 00:56:22,133
God is actually going to bring
you out of that identity into wholeness

1313
00:56:22,189 --> 00:56:25,025
and healing in Jesus name.

1314
00:56:26,565 --> 00:56:28,305
You are not on the shelf.

1315
00:56:29,085 --> 00:56:30,429
I don't know who I'm talking to.

1316
00:56:30,477 --> 00:56:32,053
You are not on the shelf.

1317
00:56:32,189 --> 00:56:36,227
You're just being still when
somebody's like, I thought you.

1318
00:56:36,291 --> 00:56:37,419
Why are you not in ministry?

1319
00:56:37,467 --> 00:56:38,259
I am in ministry.

1320
00:56:38,307 --> 00:56:39,891
I'm waiting on the Lord.

1321
00:56:40,083 --> 00:56:41,795
My job is to wait on him.

1322
00:56:41,835 --> 00:56:43,855
I'm being still in his presence.

1323
00:56:47,595 --> 00:56:49,355
I feel the power of God.

1324
00:56:49,475 --> 00:56:52,315
I feel the anointing for
somebody right now.

1325
00:56:52,475 --> 00:56:55,891
Father, we thank you for what
you're doing right now.

1326
00:56:56,003 --> 00:56:58,347
I thank you for what you're
doing right now.

1327
00:56:58,451 --> 00:56:59,851
I thank you for what you're doing.

1328
00:56:59,883 --> 00:57:03,075
And Long Island, I thank you
for what you're doing right now.

1329
00:57:05,255 --> 00:57:07,399
Break off generational lies.

1330
00:57:07,527 --> 00:57:09,535
Break off generational lies.

1331
00:57:09,655 --> 00:57:11,567
Break off lies from our past.

1332
00:57:11,671 --> 00:57:13,527
Break off lies from our lineage.

1333
00:57:13,631 --> 00:57:17,143
Oh, generational lies will be
broken off of y'all right now.

1334
00:57:17,279 --> 00:57:18,075
Come on.

1335
00:57:19,735 --> 00:57:20,639
Yeah, come on.

1336
00:57:20,727 --> 00:57:22,535
This is why we got to go
through the book.

1337
00:57:22,655 --> 00:57:23,487
It's identity.

1338
00:57:23,551 --> 00:57:24,015
It's time.

1339
00:57:24,055 --> 00:57:25,375
It's identity time.

1340
00:57:25,495 --> 00:57:27,159
Oh, aren't you a caterpillar?

1341
00:57:27,247 --> 00:57:29,039
I used to be a caterpillar.

1342
00:57:29,127 --> 00:57:32,287
I'm in a cocoon right now I
used to crawl around?

1343
00:57:32,391 --> 00:57:32,839
I used.

1344
00:57:32,887 --> 00:57:34,319
But I'm getting ready to fly?

1345
00:57:34,407 --> 00:57:34,695
I'm.

1346
00:57:34,735 --> 00:57:35,935
I'm getting ready to fly?

1347
00:57:36,015 --> 00:57:37,607
I used to be a caterpillar?

1348
00:57:37,671 --> 00:57:39,543
But I'm going through a metamorphosis?

1349
00:57:39,639 --> 00:57:40,567
I'm changing?

1350
00:57:40,671 --> 00:57:41,471
I'm changing?

1351
00:57:41,543 --> 00:57:43,039
You better take my picture?

1352
00:57:43,127 --> 00:57:44,839
You better remember me like this?

1353
00:57:44,927 --> 00:57:46,903
Because I'm not always going
to be like this.

1354
00:57:46,999 --> 00:57:48,927
This is not the best version
of me?

1355
00:57:49,031 --> 00:57:51,023
This is not the best version
of me?

1356
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:53,017
This is not the best version
of me?

1357
00:57:53,081 --> 00:57:54,529
You better take a good look?

1358
00:57:54,617 --> 00:57:56,633
Because I'm not gonna look
like this for long?

1359
00:57:56,729 --> 00:57:58,745
I'm not destined to be a caterpillar?

1360
00:57:58,825 --> 00:58:00,609
I was destined to be a butterfly?

1361
00:58:00,697 --> 00:58:02,409
You better take a closer look?

1362
00:58:02,497 --> 00:58:04,725
This is not who I'm always
gonna be.

1363
00:58:08,225 --> 00:58:09,445
Hallelujah.

1364
00:58:12,145 --> 00:58:12,745
Come on.

1365
00:58:12,825 --> 00:58:13,169
Come on.

1366
00:58:13,217 --> 00:58:16,761
Campus pastors just tap
tagging off at every location.

1367
00:58:16,833 --> 00:58:19,135
Jump up on that stage and keep
this minute street flowing.
