WEBVTT 00:00:16.339 --> 00:00:17.022 Hallelujah. 00:00:17.022 --> 00:00:18.626 Glory to God. 00:00:18.626 --> 00:00:21.292 Come on, family, let's celebrate God right where we are. 00:00:21.292 --> 00:00:23.123 To God be the glory. 00:00:23.123 --> 00:00:24.967 To God be the glory. 00:00:24.967 --> 00:00:26.551 To God, be the glory. 00:00:26.551 --> 00:00:28.403 I believe this is somebody's prayer request. 00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:31.853 I don't want to step on it or slip on it, so I'm going to sit it right here. 00:00:31.853 --> 00:00:38.490 Amen, amen, spirit of the living God, fall fresh in this space. 00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:44.249 God, I thank you for the unction of the Holy Ghost being present with us all week. 00:00:44.249 --> 00:00:50.209 God, I thank you what you did last night, but you told me that it's only just begun. 00:00:51.621 --> 00:00:54.951 God, we have come with an expectation of hearing from you. 00:00:54.951 --> 00:01:00.446 We have come with an expectation of repenting and turning our life around. 00:01:00.446 --> 00:01:03.931 We have come with an expectation of repenting and turning our life around. 00:01:03.931 --> 00:01:05.319 We have come with an expectation of miracle, signs and wonders. 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:16.046 And, oh Lord, when it's all said and done, god, we're careful to give your name to glory because you deserve it, we're careful to give your name to honor because you deserve it, and we're careful to give your name to praise. 00:01:16.046 --> 00:01:18.426 So is it a powerful name of Jesus? 00:01:18.426 --> 00:01:24.941 We pray, let the people of God say together amen, amen, amen to god. 00:01:24.941 --> 00:01:26.965 Be the glory to god. 00:01:26.965 --> 00:01:29.228 Be the glory to god. 00:01:29.228 --> 00:01:34.563 Be the glory, john. 00:01:34.563 --> 00:01:37.045 We turn to the word of god. 00:01:37.284 --> 00:01:40.207 Tonight there's a word from the Lord. 00:01:40.207 --> 00:01:48.975 Romans, the eighth chapter, verse 11, romans 8, verse 11. 00:01:48.975 --> 00:01:57.920 We'll read one verse in your hearing. 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.408 God has been moving in a great way and I'm just so excited. 00:02:04.408 --> 00:02:10.010 I want to again remind you of the fact that it is the word of God that manifests the wind of God. 00:02:10.010 --> 00:02:19.945 So for us to experience a filling of the Holy Ghost, it starts with us partaking of the word. 00:02:19.945 --> 00:02:23.099 If we want to see a miracle tonight, it starts with us partaking of the word. 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:31.949 If we want to see a miracle tonight, let us take in every precept, every comma, every colon, every dot, everything that God has placed upon us through the word. 00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:36.551 And I'm here to tell you that you will see a move of God tonight like never before. 00:02:36.551 --> 00:02:42.092 But it is the word of God that's going to manifest the wind of God. 00:02:42.092 --> 00:02:46.933 So let's look at the word of God carefully Romans 8, verse 11. 00:02:46.933 --> 00:02:48.939 Let's read the word of God together. 00:02:48.939 --> 00:03:13.150 The spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you and just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give you life to your mortal bodies by this same spirit living within you and I would just like to use as a sermon topic for tonight it's time to live. 00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:19.633 It's time to live Hallelujah. 00:03:19.633 --> 00:03:29.360 You may be seated in the presence of our Lord Time. 00:03:30.604 --> 00:03:44.362 When we talk about it's time to live, we are talking about what we refer to as the Kairos time, a Greek word that means not the time that's on my watch, but talking about God's time. 00:03:44.362 --> 00:03:53.391 Different from Kronos, different from Zulu, it's Kairos, meaning that we can't necessarily dictate it. 00:03:53.391 --> 00:04:03.533 We can ask for it, but it's up to God, and I hear the Lord saying to all of us tonight that it is time to live. 00:04:03.533 --> 00:04:07.243 Notice what I didn't say this time. 00:04:07.243 --> 00:04:16.156 I did not say it's time to live again, because some of you are senior citizens and still have not lived just yet. 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.550 I'm here to remind you that the Lord is saying that it is time to live. 00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:25.800 What does it mean to live? 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:40.970 It literally means to exist in the manner in which the creator intended for me to be in existence, in other words, when God created, created you and I. 00:04:40.970 --> 00:04:47.552 The book of Jeremiah is clear that before we were formed in our mother's womb, that he knew us. 00:04:47.552 --> 00:05:02.199 He goes on to tell us a little bit later that he has a plan for us so that when because he knew you before you knew yourself and he purposed you, he said I brought you into the existence, you got to understand. 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.507 You were brought into an existence for a season such as this. 00:05:06.507 --> 00:05:11.262 God was intentional when he allowed you to be alive in 2024. 00:05:11.262 --> 00:05:21.180 God was intentional when he allowed you to be born, when you were born, for all of our sisters and brothers that were born on the rough side of their mountain. 00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:23.625 I'm here to let you know that was God's doing. 00:05:23.625 --> 00:05:40.273 I want to remind you that God said I birthed you in this life, at this time, for a season such as this, because there is something that I want to do through you that has not yet been done before, but one of the things that you have to realize and understand. 00:05:40.353 --> 00:05:55.247 Men and women of God, you have to embrace the fact that all of us are here tonight, really, because this is an appointment that God has placed on your Google calendar. 00:05:55.247 --> 00:05:59.649 It's an appointment that that God has placed on the calendar. 00:05:59.649 --> 00:06:00.362 You're not here. 00:06:00.362 --> 00:06:03.290 There's nobody here tonight by happenstance or coincidence. 00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:08.872 Even if somebody twisted your arm and said I need you to pull up tonight, and you pulled up because they were twisting. 00:06:08.872 --> 00:06:10.947 I'm here to tell you that's not the reason that you're here. 00:06:10.947 --> 00:06:13.627 You are here by a divine appointment. 00:06:13.627 --> 00:06:14.028 You know why? 00:06:14.028 --> 00:06:27.667 Because we pray for those people to be in the room, and virtually because some of our family is virtual, some don't to be in the room and virtually because some of our family is virtual, some don't even live in the state. 00:06:27.667 --> 00:06:34.802 But I'm here to let them know that, if you're here virtually, or you in this, this is a kairos moment and we are about to experience god tonight like we have never experienced god before. 00:06:34.802 --> 00:06:38.187 You know how we can manifest that in this atmosphere. 00:06:38.929 --> 00:06:43.155 It's not necessarily about the eloquency of the preacher. 00:06:43.155 --> 00:06:46.009 It is about the power of your prayers. 00:06:46.009 --> 00:06:52.632 That's why we said hey, if you come in for these two or three days, we need you to walk in this room with expectation. 00:06:52.632 --> 00:06:55.389 We need you to walk in this room with faith. 00:06:55.389 --> 00:06:59.149 You need to walk in this room, believe in God, no matter what. 00:06:59.149 --> 00:07:04.687 As a matter of fact, fact, we did a wonderful job, job charging the atmosphere with worship. 00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:08.153 But I need to charge this atmosphere with faith. 00:07:08.153 --> 00:07:16.302 Yeah, I need you to start to proclaim right now, out loud, what God is going to do for you, not tomorrow, but tonight. 00:07:16.302 --> 00:07:18.968 Yeah, y'all, I thought y'all would that. 00:07:18.968 --> 00:07:21.261 That means it needs to come out of your mouth, right? 00:07:21.261 --> 00:07:28.120 I thank God that we can celebrate him through a shout, but I need it to come out of your mouth. 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.048 What do you expect God to do tonight? 00:07:31.048 --> 00:07:33.353 What do you expect him to do tonight, david? 00:07:33.353 --> 00:07:35.723 What do you expect him to do tonight, minister Rob? 00:07:35.723 --> 00:07:38.427 And I expect him to do some stuff tonight. 00:07:38.468 --> 00:07:42.115 Brother Rouse, what's your expectation for tonight? 00:07:42.115 --> 00:07:45.230 We got to charge this atmosphere with some faith. 00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:46.841 Now that you said it. 00:07:46.841 --> 00:07:54.435 I wonder what would happen if you got to your car in a few minutes and it was already done. 00:07:54.435 --> 00:07:56.408 What kind of shout would you shout? 00:07:56.408 --> 00:08:03.387 What kind of scream would you scrum If you get to your car tonight and God has already did it? 00:08:03.387 --> 00:08:04.064 That's it. 00:08:04.064 --> 00:08:24.512 We charging the atmosphere with expectation because we're believing the Father, that tonight, that some shifts are about to happen, that tonight some moves are about to happen, because we walk by faith, family, and not by sight. 00:08:24.512 --> 00:08:29.591 I believe we've properly charged this atmosphere for a miracle now. 00:08:29.591 --> 00:08:35.319 I believe that we've properly charged this atmosphere for a transition now. 00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:39.891 I believe that the atmosphere is properly charged for a breakthrough now. 00:08:40.461 --> 00:08:46.404 I believe we've charged it now and I can share what God is saying. 00:08:46.404 --> 00:08:55.449 The Lord is saying that because it's time to live. 00:08:55.449 --> 00:09:08.001 The first thing that you have to understand Is that you are free. 00:09:08.001 --> 00:09:08.923 Everybody declare that out loud. 00:09:08.923 --> 00:09:09.143 I'm free. 00:09:09.143 --> 00:09:15.479 Romans 8, verse 1 and 4 speak prophetically to your freedom and your liberty. 00:09:15.479 --> 00:09:23.372 So now there is no condemnation, which is a constant reminder. 00:09:23.412 --> 00:09:36.943 The spirit keeps bringing me back to this word, because there are too many of in here that you either believe that this faith is about condemning you for what you have done or condemning you for the thing that you have not gotten over. 00:09:36.943 --> 00:09:45.309 But the word of God is reminding us that if you're going to experience the power of the Holy Ghost tonight, you need to know who your father is, you. 00:09:45.309 --> 00:09:50.872 You need to know who Jesus is, and and the word of God declares, this is who I am. 00:09:50.872 --> 00:09:51.093 I. 00:09:51.093 --> 00:09:53.460 I know what you did and guess what real talk. 00:09:53.460 --> 00:10:03.375 I know what you are doing, but I'm want to let you know there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 00:10:03.579 --> 00:10:24.246 Now, that does not mean we just keep doing what we do because there is no condemnation, because, even though there is no condemnation, there's a whole lot of correction I want to talk to somebody right now, and the reason that sometimes you keep getting bust upside your head to the white meat is not because the master is trying to condemn you, but he's trying to correct you. 00:10:24.246 --> 00:10:28.831 He's trying to get you to the place that he would have you to be. 00:10:28.831 --> 00:10:32.226 Every time it ain't the hater, every time it's not the devil. 00:10:32.226 --> 00:10:51.350 Every now and then the Lord is giving you a little bit of that get right in the spirit, and I hear the Lord saying that I'm going to give some people some get right, not because I'm trying to condemn them, but because I'm trying to get them to the place where they are supposed to be, because until they get to that place, you won't never live. 00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:53.728 Did you hear what I said, kim Bailey Jones? 00:10:53.728 --> 00:10:58.831 Until you get to the place that God would have you to be, you will never live. 00:10:58.831 --> 00:11:05.607 Yeah, you'll have some success over here, but don't you know that your destiny has a GPS coordinate on it? 00:11:05.607 --> 00:11:14.204 There's a place that God Will have you to be and that's the place that you shall live a life that you've never lived before. 00:11:14.204 --> 00:11:23.917 He says there's no condemnation For those who belong To Christ, jesus, jesus. 00:11:23.917 --> 00:11:28.801 I think sometimes we make the assumption that we all belong to Christ Jesus. 00:11:28.801 --> 00:11:33.126 The Lord is saying right where you are. 00:11:33.167 --> 00:11:46.491 Pastor Walt, make sure you extend an invitation to anybody and everybody to confess with their mouth and believe with their heart that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. 00:11:46.491 --> 00:11:56.741 As a matter of fact, you ought to just confess that on a daily basis, that, no matter what I go through, I still believe, no matter what I experience, I still believe. 00:11:56.741 --> 00:12:01.712 You ought to just go ahead and say I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. 00:12:01.712 --> 00:12:09.872 I believe that he died for my sins, but I also believe that he died, but he's coming back for me. 00:12:09.872 --> 00:12:19.768 You ought to be able to say that right now, where you are, that the Savior lives, that the Savior reigns, that the Savior rules, that the Savior rescues. 00:12:19.828 --> 00:12:26.793 Do I have any witness that can testify that the lover of your soul rescued you from a bad relationship? 00:12:26.793 --> 00:12:33.269 Do I have anybody that can testify that the lover of your soul rescued you from your doggone self? 00:12:33.269 --> 00:12:38.109 You know, the biggest rescue that I ever had is when God rescued me from me. 00:12:38.109 --> 00:12:46.326 Listen, I thought that I was bound by some other folk, but when God rescues you from yourself, you got something to shout about. 00:12:46.326 --> 00:12:52.691 I need some people that have been rescued to shout unto the hills for some of our help. 00:12:52.691 --> 00:13:16.052 Because our help coming from the Lord, now that we have that in order, because, in order for you to experience the Holy Ghost, it starts with a confession that you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that's the thing that is going to ensure that we experience a manifestation tonight like never before. 00:13:16.052 --> 00:13:25.607 We go a little bit further in the text, never before we go a little bit further, uh, in the text, and because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving spirit. 00:13:25.647 --> 00:13:36.210 Everybody say life-giving, life-giving spirit has done what family freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:39.420 Verse three reminds us of how we got there. 00:13:39.420 --> 00:13:43.883 The law of moses wasn't able to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. 00:13:43.883 --> 00:13:48.320 So God did somebody say God did it what the law could not do? 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:55.024 In other words, to make the complex simple, there was a whole lot of rules, over 600 of them, and nobody could follow them. 00:13:55.024 --> 00:13:57.750 If they could, we wouldn't have needed a savior. 00:13:57.750 --> 00:14:07.293 But because we are imperfect, because we are wrapped in iniquity, because we are imperfect, god decided I'm gonna do it myself. 00:14:07.293 --> 00:14:18.103 I love it when God says that I'm gonna show up myself, I'm not gonna sit in it, I'm gonna do it myself to make sure it's done right, because you are just that valuable to me. 00:14:18.103 --> 00:14:24.814 And so what happens here is that he says because of what Jesus did, you are free. 00:14:26.520 --> 00:14:31.292 I want to talk to some people in the house of God tonight about that key word free. 00:14:31.292 --> 00:14:47.792 For us to experience the Holy Ghost afresh, for you to be filled afresh, for there to be evidence of your feeling, whatever that looks like afresh, for you to be filled afresh, for there to be evidence of your feeling, whatever that looks like afresh, you have to first understand and believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. 00:14:47.792 --> 00:14:52.351 But now you got to understand that you are free. 00:14:52.351 --> 00:15:06.209 I see these two concepts working together today like I've never seen it before, because many of us confess with our mouth that we believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, but our actions don't line up with what our mouths say. 00:15:06.209 --> 00:15:14.574 Sometimes I feel like we didn't wrote a check that you know certain parts of ourselves can't cash because we don't. 00:15:14.574 --> 00:15:17.825 Our actions don't line up with what our mouths say. 00:15:17.825 --> 00:15:17.925 What? 00:15:17.925 --> 00:15:19.168 What do you mean? 00:15:19.168 --> 00:15:23.586 Because if we believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, then he died for our sins. 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.443 We should be walking around here as free folk, but the reality is too many of us are walking around still bound. 00:15:31.443 --> 00:15:36.048 We should be walking around liberated. 00:15:36.048 --> 00:15:38.784 We should be walking around loose. 00:15:38.784 --> 00:15:41.631 We should be walking around loose. 00:15:41.631 --> 00:15:46.306 We should be walking around decreeing and declaring with expectation that God is going to show up. 00:15:46.306 --> 00:15:55.840 But the truth of the matter, I had a chance to look at some of y'all blood pressure in your last medical examination and I didn't see too much freedom in there. 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.625 I saw a little bit too much anxiety. 00:15:58.625 --> 00:16:01.010 I saw a little bit too much doubt. 00:16:01.010 --> 00:16:12.094 I saw a little bit too much other stuff going on within you which suggests that you're not free but you're bound. 00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:15.264 I don't want to talk about freedom tonight. 00:16:15.264 --> 00:16:18.451 I want to experience freedom tonight. 00:16:18.451 --> 00:16:24.631 Man of God, it's one thing to talk about it, woman, woman of God, but it's a whole other thing to experience it. 00:16:24.631 --> 00:16:29.628 Hey, is there anybody beside myself that pressed their way on a Tuesday as busy as you are? 00:16:29.628 --> 00:16:32.093 Because you didn't come just to be here. 00:16:32.093 --> 00:16:34.367 You came for an encounter. 00:16:34.367 --> 00:16:38.410 So that means you want to experience God. 00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:39.987 So I need you to experience your freedom. 00:16:39.987 --> 00:16:41.619 I need you to experience your freedom. 00:16:41.619 --> 00:16:44.227 I need you to experience your freedom. 00:16:44.227 --> 00:16:48.759 But there is something, family, that keeps you from experiencing your freedom. 00:16:48.759 --> 00:17:01.332 I know that it's your time and I know that you are free and since it's been prophetically declared, you are free and you're still walking around bound. 00:17:02.721 --> 00:17:03.706 Where is the problem? 00:17:03.706 --> 00:17:06.967 I found the problem. 00:17:06.967 --> 00:17:10.367 They use it in psychology. 00:17:10.367 --> 00:17:12.207 I found the problem. 00:17:12.207 --> 00:17:17.710 I found the problem, joe, that keeps us from feeling the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. 00:17:17.710 --> 00:17:19.105 I found the problem. 00:17:19.105 --> 00:17:21.347 I found what it is that keeps the rivers of living water, holy Ghost. 00:17:21.347 --> 00:17:21.644 I found the problem. 00:17:21.644 --> 00:17:24.208 I found what it is that keeps the rivers of living water from flowing. 00:17:24.208 --> 00:17:25.171 I found the problem. 00:17:25.171 --> 00:17:30.426 They use it when they talk about people that's been incarcerated for a long time. 00:17:30.426 --> 00:17:31.731 I found the problem. 00:17:31.731 --> 00:17:33.356 I found it. 00:17:33.416 --> 00:17:44.675 I told y'all about it a couple of months ago that, even in the little pets that I have, I see what they're talking about, what happens when you've been around and been locked up for a while. 00:17:44.675 --> 00:17:57.750 You see, some of us have been locked up for a while that, even though the door of freedom is swinging wide open, we institutionalize yeah, that last relationship got you institutionalized. 00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:02.982 Freedom is your lot, but you can't get over it got you institutionalized. 00:18:02.982 --> 00:18:04.087 Freedom is your life, but you can't get over it. 00:18:04.087 --> 00:18:06.156 That bad employer that you've been stuck with for a long time got you institutionalized. 00:18:06.156 --> 00:18:12.572 And I'm here to tell you you think every job like that just because you've been institutionalized by a bad experience. 00:18:12.572 --> 00:18:18.560 You think every relationship like that because you've been institutionalized by what you have gone through. 00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:21.041 You think that you always going to be sick because you have been institutionalized by what you have gone through. 00:18:21.041 --> 00:18:27.560 You think that you always going to be sick because you have been institutionalized by the fact that you've had sickness in your body for a mighty long time. 00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:33.992 In a nutshell, what happens to prisoners is after a while, prison is all they know. 00:18:33.992 --> 00:18:37.265 After a while, that's their only experience. 00:18:37.506 --> 00:18:39.711 Anybody remember the movie Shawshank Redemption? 00:18:39.711 --> 00:18:44.711 You remember one of the characters in the Shawshank Redemption finally got home and guess what? 00:18:44.711 --> 00:18:46.886 He was miserable being free. 00:18:46.886 --> 00:18:48.547 Oh, let me run around this thing here. 00:18:48.547 --> 00:18:50.145 I want to talk to some of y'all. 00:18:50.145 --> 00:18:51.826 I want to be real tonight. 00:18:51.826 --> 00:18:55.587 Some of y'all have been bound so long. 00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:59.408 You get miserable at the thought of being free. 00:18:59.408 --> 00:19:06.525 You get miserable at it because you ain't experienced it before, and so now you're afraid. 00:19:06.525 --> 00:19:10.149 You're in church and you feel something moving on the inside. 00:19:10.149 --> 00:19:11.846 You get a little scared. 00:19:11.846 --> 00:19:17.368 You start looking at your phone trying to text somebody because you feel something and you ain't ready to get loose yet. 00:19:17.368 --> 00:19:20.948 Suddenly, god bless you with something that you ain't never had before. 00:19:20.948 --> 00:19:30.503 And you still walking around like a prisoner and treating it like your yesterday and instead of realizing that the Lord loved you enough to do a new thing. 00:19:30.503 --> 00:19:34.142 So for you to be free, stop doing old stuff in the new thing. 00:19:34.142 --> 00:19:38.886 For you to be free, embrace the fact that God is up to something. 00:19:38.886 --> 00:19:41.386 And so for us to be free. 00:19:41.386 --> 00:19:47.269 Since, since, since our time, and since the Lord is saying that you are free, it's been prophesied. 00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:48.051 Somebody say I'm free. 00:19:48.051 --> 00:19:49.686 What are you free of? 00:19:49.686 --> 00:19:50.188 If you're free? 00:19:50.188 --> 00:19:50.971 What are you free of? 00:19:50.971 --> 00:19:51.794 Talk to me tonight. 00:19:51.794 --> 00:19:54.589 Talk to me tonight, I'm. 00:19:54.589 --> 00:19:56.220 I'm free of worry family. 00:19:56.220 --> 00:20:02.505 I am free of worrying about how I'm going to pay for certain things. 00:20:02.505 --> 00:20:03.381 I'm free of it. 00:20:03.381 --> 00:20:09.683 I'm free of worrying about my children when I drop them off at school. 00:20:09.683 --> 00:20:13.214 I'm free of it. 00:20:13.214 --> 00:20:16.885 I'm free of worrying about the pains of pastoring, because it's the lowest church anyway. 00:20:16.885 --> 00:20:17.646 I'm free of it. 00:20:17.646 --> 00:20:19.631 I ain't supposed to say out loud what you're free of. 00:20:19.631 --> 00:20:24.486 If you don't confess this, say out loud what you're free of, because if you don't confess this thing, you won't get the manifestation tonight. 00:20:24.486 --> 00:20:26.046 Y'all got to talk tonight. 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.385 I need to know what you're free of. 00:20:27.385 --> 00:20:31.749 It's one thing to say it, but I want to hold you accountable for it. 00:20:31.749 --> 00:20:36.408 I want to come back in six months and say you remember that night you declared you was free of it. 00:20:36.408 --> 00:20:42.780 Well, you was free of it. 00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:43.236 Well, why you still walking around like you're bound? 00:20:43.236 --> 00:20:44.432 Why you still walking around like you're locked up? 00:20:44.432 --> 00:20:46.902 There's freedom in the house. 00:20:46.902 --> 00:20:54.992 So if there is freedom available and the door to liberty is swung wide open, where is the problem? 00:20:54.992 --> 00:20:57.075 I told y'all I found the problem with stopping the flow. 00:20:57.075 --> 00:21:04.202 The problem is in your mind. 00:21:04.202 --> 00:21:08.330 Somebody say now it's mental, can I, can I slow down right here and teach the best way that I know how? 00:21:08.330 --> 00:21:13.327 Because we need these living waters to flow, because I just told you it was your time. 00:21:13.327 --> 00:21:15.512 I just told you that you was free. 00:21:15.512 --> 00:21:18.250 I just told you that the door is swinging wide open. 00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:22.259 So why aren't you experiencing the manifestation of the thing that we read about? 00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:27.367 Why aren't you yet blessed in the city and blessed in the field, blessed when you come and blessed when you go. 00:21:27.367 --> 00:21:29.888 Why are you not the lender and not the borrower? 00:21:29.888 --> 00:21:32.147 Why are you not the head and not the tail? 00:21:32.147 --> 00:21:33.635 I'm going to show it to you. 00:21:33.635 --> 00:21:34.019 It's mental. 00:21:34.768 --> 00:21:45.250 Watch the word of God here, romans 8, verse 5 through 8 those who are dominated by the sinful nature. 00:21:45.250 --> 00:21:48.320 Can I put some weight to the sinful nature? 00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:50.722 Real talk. 00:21:50.722 --> 00:22:01.712 Yes, the sinful nature consists of those late night creeps. 00:22:01.712 --> 00:22:02.874 Sure it does. 00:22:02.874 --> 00:22:10.599 Yeah, grandma was right when she said it wasn't but a couple of things open after 12 o'clock midnight. 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:36.434 Yeah, sure, sure, but if you, but if you limit sin to those proclivities, when you stop doing those things, either by choice or by age or by force, it would then suggest that now you're supposed to be experiencing the abundant overflow, but some of those things we've been stopped doing time and fix it. 00:22:36.434 --> 00:22:40.508 Well, we can't do it no more, but we're still missing out on something. 00:22:41.490 --> 00:22:46.649 May I suggest to you that the real issue of sin is not just our proclivities to please our flesh. 00:22:46.649 --> 00:22:52.644 The real issue of sin is the very thing that you are afraid to do. 00:22:52.644 --> 00:22:58.462 Do you know that there are some people that have spent their whole life outside of the will of God. 00:22:58.462 --> 00:23:10.227 But as soon as they gave God a yes, all of a sudden, that same boldness that they had for the block, that same boldness that they had for the street, they came right in there with the kingdom. 00:23:10.227 --> 00:23:23.539 That's why some of them can go from selling dope on the corner John P Key right, selling dope on the corner to buying the corner and planting a church, because he took the same boldness he had on the corner to bind the corner and plant a church, because he took the same bonus he had on the block and he took it into the kingdom. 00:23:25.438 --> 00:23:34.538 But the problem is you holy now, you solidified, you delivered, but you're scared. 00:23:34.538 --> 00:23:49.693 You don't smoke, you don't drink, you gotta worry about stopping, you ain't gotta worry about none of that, but you're scared and I want to talk to somebody and tell you right now that it's mental. 00:23:49.693 --> 00:23:54.868 It's mental because god has not given us a spirit of fear. 00:23:54.868 --> 00:23:59.042 I want to talk to you and tell you that is in your mind. 00:23:59.042 --> 00:24:00.989 Look at the, the text again, clearly. 00:24:01.068 --> 00:24:04.626 Media team, those of us who are dominated by the sinful nature. 00:24:04.626 --> 00:24:06.351 The sinful nature is what keeps you afraid. 00:24:06.351 --> 00:24:08.827 The sinful nature is what keeps you from trying. 00:24:08.827 --> 00:24:11.548 The sinful nature is what keeps you from trusting. 00:24:11.548 --> 00:24:16.828 Think about sinful things, because I don't want to talk about the proclivities tonight. 00:24:16.828 --> 00:24:22.543 It is just as sinful for you to think about it's gonna fail if you try to start a business. 00:24:22.543 --> 00:24:27.442 It is just as simple for you to think about it's not gonna work if you try love again. 00:24:27.442 --> 00:24:34.023 It's just as simple for you to think that God is not gonna bless you if you go out and do what he has called you to do. 00:24:34.546 --> 00:24:40.205 I want to talk to some people that want to be filled with the Holy Ghost and let you know that the problem with the flow is in your mind. 00:24:40.205 --> 00:24:50.310 You see that there are people of God in the house tonight, that God is saying I'm going to do something supernatural, but the issue is not the power, the issue is not my presence. 00:24:50.310 --> 00:24:53.021 The issue is in your mind. 00:24:53.021 --> 00:24:55.283 I look at the text again clearly. 00:24:55.283 --> 00:25:10.589 But those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that do what Please the Spirit Watch verse 6. 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:18.649 So letting your sinful nature watch this real talk control your mind. 00:25:18.649 --> 00:25:21.934 Mind leads to death. 00:25:21.934 --> 00:25:39.453 Your sinful nature was controlling your mind and that's why that vision died. 00:25:39.453 --> 00:25:47.780 It was a vision for God, it was, but everything that was in your mind that was saying it could not happen. 00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:51.044 After a while, you stopped dreaming about that thing, didn't you? 00:25:51.044 --> 00:25:52.462 After a while, you went back to that thing, didn't you? 00:25:52.462 --> 00:26:01.740 After a while, you went back to the status quo because you allowed your mind to kill the vision that God has given you. 00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:10.057 You allowed the naysayers and the statisticians and the bankers and the underwriters to tell you what was not possible. 00:26:10.057 --> 00:26:20.335 Watch it carefully. 00:26:20.734 --> 00:26:23.182 Letting the sin for nature control your mind leads to death. 00:26:23.182 --> 00:26:32.095 But I always thank God every time I see but in the scripture, because it's just a reminder he never leaves us hanging. 00:26:32.095 --> 00:26:43.980 Letting the spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:46.703 So, family, I'm free. 00:26:46.703 --> 00:26:56.463 Well, family, it's my time, I'm free, it's mental, and the answer is here. 00:26:56.463 --> 00:27:00.293 We have to let the spirit control. 00:27:00.293 --> 00:27:07.527 I want to talk to somebody right now and say let the spirit take control. 00:27:07.527 --> 00:27:10.057 That's why I want to talk to somebody right now. 00:27:10.057 --> 00:27:11.915 We're going to spend a little time on verse 9 right here. 00:27:11.915 --> 00:27:16.157 Let's read verse 9, because I told you it's the word that's going to manifest the wind. 00:27:16.157 --> 00:27:21.631 But here he is, here we are, you are not. 00:27:21.631 --> 00:27:23.956 It's almost prophetic saying if you are a believer. 00:27:23.956 --> 00:27:32.625 I'm decreeing and declaring in this house and everybody that's walking with me by faith, that does not, but that does not mind. 00:27:32.625 --> 00:27:36.162 I need you to help me to decree and declare the word of god right here. 00:27:36.162 --> 00:27:40.817 You are not controlled by your sinful nature. 00:27:40.817 --> 00:27:43.462 I need to talk to somebody right now. 00:27:43.502 --> 00:27:47.937 You are no longer controlled by the desires of your flesh. 00:27:47.937 --> 00:27:50.224 You're no longer controlled by uh, a sinful sexual appet. 00:27:50.224 --> 00:27:52.871 You're no longer controlled by sinful sexual appetites. 00:27:52.871 --> 00:27:57.095 You're no longer controlled by substances you want to put in your veins. 00:27:57.095 --> 00:28:04.469 You're no longer controlled by the influences of the opinions of other people who don't care about you anyway. 00:28:04.469 --> 00:28:06.021 We are not controlled. 00:28:06.021 --> 00:28:09.625 You are no longer controlled by your sinful nature. 00:28:09.625 --> 00:28:11.966 You're no longer controlled I'm declaring this in this house controlled. 00:28:11.966 --> 00:28:12.855 I'm declaring this in this house. 00:28:12.855 --> 00:28:14.499 I'm speaking this in this house. 00:28:14.499 --> 00:28:18.548 You're no longer controlled by that failed relationship. 00:28:18.548 --> 00:28:26.708 I decree and declare liberty from you because you are no longer controlled by that situation. 00:28:26.708 --> 00:28:32.847 You are no longer controlled by what you thought you lost out on and you think it's too late. 00:28:32.847 --> 00:28:36.004 You're no longer controlled by that. 00:28:36.004 --> 00:28:39.546 You're no longer controlled by your disappointments. 00:28:39.546 --> 00:28:44.366 You're no longer controlled by those things that have been holding you back. 00:28:44.366 --> 00:28:49.406 You're no longer controlled by the closed doors that are in your life. 00:28:49.406 --> 00:29:09.588 I'm no longer controlled by the sinful nature, but you are controlled Everybody say controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. 00:29:09.588 --> 00:29:11.923 In other words, I'm controlled by the Spirit of God living in you. 00:29:11.923 --> 00:29:18.025 In other words, I'm controlled by the spirit of God if I have the spirit of God living within me. 00:29:18.234 --> 00:29:28.485 And the writer here is clear and remember that those who do not have the spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all. 00:29:28.485 --> 00:29:31.877 But I want to talk about something real quick and I need you to hear it. 00:29:31.877 --> 00:29:32.922 I'm going to say it as slow as I can. 00:29:32.922 --> 00:29:41.397 The spirit of the living God seals our salvation. 00:29:41.397 --> 00:29:44.722 The word of God is clear on that, on multiple capacities. 00:29:44.722 --> 00:29:52.379 But I want to repeat what I started to try to say last night it's not enough in 2024 just to be saved. 00:29:52.379 --> 00:29:53.943 It's not. 00:29:53.943 --> 00:29:56.880 I'm sorry, some of us were taught wrong. 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:01.201 Some of us were taught that when you just get baptized and you get saved, you are good enough. 00:30:01.201 --> 00:30:07.143 But I'm here to remind you that's why it hadn't happened for you yet, because you're trying to do it from a powerless place. 00:30:07.143 --> 00:30:26.307 I'm here to remind you that what the writer is suggesting, as it relates to control, is that the spirit of the living God not just saved them, but the secure spirit of the living God control their being, control their coming, control their going, control their everything as a wind. 00:30:26.347 --> 00:30:29.001 Can y'all go and use your holy ghost imagination? 00:30:29.001 --> 00:30:31.009 Can you see a pretty sailboat? 00:30:31.009 --> 00:30:33.321 Matter of fact, it's an amazing sailboat. 00:30:33.321 --> 00:30:36.454 It got it got your name on the side, lucky Lucinda. 00:30:36.454 --> 00:30:36.817 It got. 00:30:36.817 --> 00:30:38.773 It wrote right there on the side. 00:30:38.773 --> 00:30:41.921 It got magic mark on right there on the side. 00:30:41.921 --> 00:30:43.366 It got. 00:30:43.366 --> 00:30:46.291 It got glistening Gwendolyn right there. 00:30:46.291 --> 00:30:48.734 Imagine this beautiful sailboat. 00:30:48.734 --> 00:30:55.663 You see that beautiful sailboat and it's an amazing day out there on the water and this boat is just flowing. 00:30:55.663 --> 00:30:58.640 Y'all see y'allself on this boat and y'all cruising. 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.263 Y'all got your Versace slides on. 00:31:01.263 --> 00:31:03.903 I mean y'all just doing the doggone thing. 00:31:04.014 --> 00:31:07.722 But then suddenly here comes a storm out of nowhere. 00:31:07.722 --> 00:31:13.698 It wasn't predicted, it wasn't projected and all of a sudden on the horizon there is a storm. 00:31:13.698 --> 00:31:31.682 Now what you want to do is that you want to put an oil in the water and you want to do the best that you can to get out of the storm, but you soon realize that you don't have enough power to get away from the storm, because the wind or the storms, is stronger than the power that you can manifest on your own. 00:31:31.682 --> 00:31:37.707 Well, some of you say well, if the oil don't work, what I will do is I will put an engine down in the water. 00:31:37.707 --> 00:31:53.419 I'll put me four engines down in the water, and surely these engines after all, I got the money, I got the resources, my money and my resources will get me out of this storm, because the other people's problem is that they just had oilar. 00:31:53.419 --> 00:31:55.905 But I got all of these outboard motors and I'm gonna make it. 00:31:56.086 --> 00:32:03.914 But after a while you realize that even the power of your 400 outboards can't rescue you from this storm. 00:32:03.914 --> 00:32:07.547 But then you look across and you see another storm. 00:32:07.547 --> 00:32:11.619 We're gonna call this uh, we're gonna call this boat faithful fanny. 00:32:11.619 --> 00:32:13.425 You Faithful Fanny's boat. 00:32:13.425 --> 00:32:19.367 She was on the same water, but she didn't have an oar and she didn't have four outboard motors. 00:32:19.367 --> 00:32:21.519 Faithful Fanny was crazy. 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:25.746 She literally had the audacity to know who she was. 00:32:25.746 --> 00:32:29.379 They said Faithful Fanny, we are out here on the water. 00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:33.828 Why are you out here as a sailboat and you don't have an oar? 00:32:33.828 --> 00:32:38.426 Why are you out here as a sailboat and you don't have outboard motors. 00:32:38.426 --> 00:32:40.159 She said am I the only? 00:32:40.340 --> 00:32:43.774 one that realized that I was destined to be a sailboat. 00:32:43.774 --> 00:32:49.541 I don't need an outboard, I don't need a row paddle, I just need the wind. 00:32:49.541 --> 00:32:52.225 And what happened to Faithful Fanny? 00:32:52.225 --> 00:32:52.667 Why? 00:32:52.667 --> 00:32:55.360 Every other boat was trying to figure their way out of the storm. 00:32:55.360 --> 00:33:00.140 Faithful Fanny leaned back and the wind started to blow. 00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:02.886 And the wind blew her right out of that storm. 00:33:03.248 --> 00:33:09.760 I want to talk to somebody and tell you that's what your life looks like when you are controlled by the Holy Ghost. 00:33:09.760 --> 00:33:23.337 Why, while everybody else is trying to figure out how to make it, while everybody else trying to figure out how to fund college, while everybody else trying to figure out love, you just lay back like faithful fatty and you just wait for the wind to blow. 00:33:23.337 --> 00:33:25.602 I need some saints in the house of God tonight. 00:33:25.602 --> 00:33:26.244 They say. 00:33:26.244 --> 00:33:29.782 I showed up tonight because I'm waiting on the wind to blow. 00:33:29.782 --> 00:33:32.010 I'm just waiting on God to do it. 00:33:32.010 --> 00:33:34.623 I'm just waiting on God to show out. 00:33:34.623 --> 00:33:43.384 I'm not looking for the outboard engine, I'm not looking for my own paddle, I'm just waiting on God to blow, and he blows on me. 00:33:43.664 --> 00:33:51.973 And he breathes on me and he fills my soul, I'll get to the place where he'd have me to be. 00:33:51.973 --> 00:33:57.185 And when I get to the place, where he would have me to be. 00:33:58.919 --> 00:34:06.461 I suddenly discover that now it's time to live. 00:34:06.461 --> 00:34:08.804 Everybody say it's time to live. 00:34:08.804 --> 00:34:10.782 Say it's time to live. 00:34:10.782 --> 00:34:11.400 Say it out loud. 00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:11.844 Say it's time to live. 00:34:11.844 --> 00:34:12.288 Say it's time to live. 00:34:12.288 --> 00:34:12.610 Say it out loud. 00:34:12.610 --> 00:34:13.054 Say it's time to live. 00:34:13.054 --> 00:34:14.601 Here we are family. 00:34:14.601 --> 00:34:15.242 We're going home. 00:34:15.898 --> 00:34:19.014 I want to show you verse 8, romans 8, verse 10 and 11. 00:34:19.014 --> 00:34:24.079 And Christ, watch this, lives within you. 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:38.724 So, even though your body will die because of sin, the spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. 00:34:38.724 --> 00:34:47.144 I want to decree and declare, in accordance with Romans 8, verse 10 I don't care what you've been through, you shall live and not die. 00:34:47.144 --> 00:34:48.498 I don't care how painful it's been. 00:34:48.498 --> 00:34:52.534 I know you thought about taking your own life. 00:34:52.534 --> 00:34:52.654 Die. 00:34:52.654 --> 00:34:54.793 I don't care how painful this has been. 00:34:54.793 --> 00:35:00.449 I know you thought about taking your own life, but God is saying you shall live and not die. 00:35:00.449 --> 00:35:03.741 I know the enemy has tried to take you out. 00:35:03.741 --> 00:35:10.001 You've been a target this season, but I want to let you know that you shall live and not die. 00:35:10.001 --> 00:35:11.255 How do I know? 00:35:11.255 --> 00:35:12.380 Because look at verse 11. 00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:13.844
