So stay tuned and stick around, because this is really going to be a blessing to you, and I know that you're really really going to be blessed by this because I believe you know, the year 2024 is the year of the open door.
Speaker 1:I believe that God is opening up some new things. He's ready to bring you into some places that you've never been to before, and I believe this is a season that God is calling people to make adjustments, to make changes to shift things in their world, and a lot of times we want something brand new in our lives, but we don't understand the importance of making those adjustments in our world. If you do what you've always done, you're going to get what you've always gotten. So in order to get something that you never had, you have to do something that you have never done, which sometimes mean you have to learn some things that you never learned before. So sometimes, when God's getting ready to bring you into a new season which I prophesy over you that you're coming into your new season I need you to type that in the comments right now. Type that right in there. I'm coming into my new season. I'm coming into my new season.
Speaker 1:When God is getting ready to bring you into a new season, you have to understand God will bring new people into your life. So one of the things I'm praying for you right now is that you will begin to recognize the new people in your life and then also, sometimes, what God will do. He will revamp and he will bring a freshness and a newness to the people that are already currently in your life. So it's important that we understand that we need to have that. So, listen, type that in the comment bar.
Speaker 1:My producer right now is going to put that there on the bottom screen. I want you to put that in the comment bar. This is my new season. It's time for my new season. I'm in my new season. You can put that in there. I'm in my new season. You're coming into it. You're in it now in the name of Jesus. Type that in the comment bar. Let somebody know I'm in my new season.
Speaker 1:So God's going to bring new people into your life. Why is that? Because there are levels of wisdom that you aren't currently walking in that God wants to bring to you. See, god doesn't reinvent the wheel. What God does. God will bring new people into your world and you have to have the discernment to recognize the uniqueness and the greatness in them and an area that you're coming up into, and so then, as a result, what they're sharing with you, you can begin to apply in your world. You can begin to apply that and God will begin to bless you in a supernatural way.
Speaker 1:So that's the first thing you have to understand that God will bring new people into your life. The second thing is is when you see those new people, you've got to begin to make adjustments and changes in your world. So you want to begin to make adjustments. You want to begin to make changes. You want to begin to figure out, okay, what are the things that they're doing that got them to the success of where they are, and what can you adjust and what can you do differently as a result and that will bring about because, remember, people are a success for a reason. That's good, right there and people are not a success for a reason. It's either way. People are a success for a reason. People are not a success for a reason. There's a reason why people are being blessed and why people aren't being blessed. So you have to understand that. That's really, really important.
Speaker 1:So you want to learn real quickly what are they doing that I'm not? What are they doing? How are they operating? What are they doing that I am not doing? So then I can get to where it is that they are, because they're applying laws and principles that you may not be applying in your world. So you want to begin to apply those things in and through your life. So that's the first thing I need you to recognize, I need you to realize and understand that, when they bring these new things into your life, you've got to begin to make the adjustments and begin to make the tweaks in your world. You got to begin to make adjustments. The adjustments that you make will determine the future harvest that you're going to get, and that's why, people, when God brings new people in your life, he'll bring a harvest into your world by way of the wisdom that people bring to you. So identify the new people. Some of you, it might be something right now that God is doing in and through your life, that you're getting blessed right now by this podcast, and this is something that's brand new, and some of the things I'm sharing may be part of the wisdom that God's bringing into your world in this season. So so you have to identify the people that are in your world and then recognize the wisdom that they carry and then begin to make the adjustments and the changes.
Speaker 1:When God's doing a new thing in your life I've shared this before he always starts with a seed that is so powerful. Whenever God is bringing a new thing into your life, he always starts with a seed that is so powerful. Whenever God is bringing a new thing into your life. He always starts with a seed. He'll bring a seed into your life and then, as a result, you can begin to make the adjustments that you want to make. As you work, and steward the seed. Now remember, with every wisdom that God brings into your world, what will happen? How well you steward that seed, ladies and gentlemen, will determine the harvest that you're going to get. Steward that seed, ladies and gentlemen, will determine the harvest that you're going to get. So if you don't steward what it is that God is giving to you the new wisdom, if you don't steward those things, you're not going to see the harvest. So now watch it. This is something very, very powerful that I want you to catch.
Speaker 1:When God brings new revelation and new wisdom into your life, we can't look at it as encouragement. We have to look at it as a requirement. You ever been around good preaching, somebody sharing something like oh man, that's such a powerful word, man, that's so good. Oh man, that's so anointed, that's so blessed, and there's nothing wrong with that. Praise God for that. But listen, we use that as encouragement.
Speaker 1:Encouragement isn't enough. You want to go from encouragement to require, which means this faith without works is dead. You want to begin to work the new revelation that God has put in your life and you want to be a good steward over that, in the name of Jesus, because that is going to determine how well you grow. Listen, what we're talking about right now is tips to get you to another level, tips to get you to another level, tips to get you to another level. I believe that God has you right now, strategically, prophetically positioned. Listening to me right now, because God is ready to take your life to the next level and I'm giving you some things that are gonna help position you, because you're in your open door season. You're in your moment right now, and you've gotta make sure that you're prepared and you know how to steward this moment. I'm sure you've heard the statement before seize the moment. You are in a moment. I believe we are in a season of moments.
Speaker 1:God is bringing prophetically new people into your life. So then you can learn. Don't be proud, don't be arrogant. There's nothing wrong with admitting that there's somebody that's better than you and learning from them. Learn from them that you can bring on those things. Take them on into your world. Make the adjustment.
Speaker 1:Remember, people are blessed for a reason. People are cursed for a reason. The blessing is empowerment for success, the curse is empowerment for failure. So there's a reason. There are laws that cause people to be blessed. There are laws that cause marriages to work. There are laws that cause marriages to disseminate. There are laws that cause things to propel and go higher and to elevate and laws that bring things down. So when God wants to do something new in your life, he brings people into your life so you can be exposed to laws that you have not currently been privy to. So then you can begin to make the adjustments.
Speaker 1:So first thing is, recognize the people that are new, that are bringing to life. Number two recognize they have wisdom that you don't have. So let me say this as well very, very important when you get around greatness, when you get around somebody that's doing something better than you, that's not the time to show all your cards and tell them what you can do. You're in their world to learn from them. Be a fly on the wall. Take down notes. It's amazing how people don't take down notes when they get around people that are doing something better than they are. Take down the notes, begin to write those things down and then to begin to formulate and run it through the laboratory of your life and figure out how you can begin to apply those things into your world. So that's important. When you're around that wisdom, you want to do that and then you want to apply that wisdom into your world. Maybe it's in your marriage, maybe it's in your finances, maybe it's in your ministry, maybe it's in your business plan, maybe it's in going back to school. You want to begin to apply what it is that you have learned. You want to begin. All right, I hear you, lord, I see this.
Speaker 1:Remember, I keep saying it over and over again when God is doing a new thing in your life, he always starts with a seed. When God is doing something new in your life, he starts with a seed. If you take a look, even when God, when Adam and Eve fell and he knew that everything had changed, he started talking about how Satan's seed would bruise Jesus' heel. But that Eve's seed, which was Jesus Christ, was going to bruise Satan's head. He was going to crush his head. So he started talking about a seed After he destroyed the earth with the flood. Then Noah gets out of the ark in Genesis, chapter eight, and the Bible says as long as the earth remains, there'll be cold and hot, there'll be summer and winter, seed time and harvest. He started talking to him about seed. Isn't it amazing? Whenever God's doing something new, he talks about the seed.
Speaker 1:If you're going to start having a family, it starts with a seed. Everything starts with a seed. If you want to harvest, you've got to start with a seed. So what is the seed? The Bible says we've been redeemed through the incorruptible seed of the word of God.
Speaker 1:So whenever God wants to bring a new harvest into your life, which I'm so excited for, I feel the anointing that you're listening right now, because God has scheduled a harvest for your life and I'm just here to be a midwife, to show you how to steward the seed that God is putting into your world. Come on, I want you to type that in the comment bar. I'm going to steward my seed. Come on, I'm going to steward my seed in my life. I like it. God has a harvest that is scheduled for you, so you've got to steward the seed. Now. Watch this. Now watch this. The harvest is God's responsibility. The seed and the stewardship of it is your responsibility. Come on, that'll preach right there. Ladies and gentlemen, the harvest is up to God. He's the Lord of the harvest. He gives us seed to work that seed. So then the scheduled harvest can come. I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 1:I sense this right now, that some of you are watching right now, because God has scheduled a harvest for your life. You are scheduled for a harvest and I don't want you to miss your harvest because you don't recognize you need to steward the seed that God has put into your life. My good God, you've got to be a steward over the seed. And what do I mean by that? I don't know what your seed is. Your seed might be listening to me right now. Maybe there's wisdom that's coming to you. You've got to steward.
Speaker 1:The problem is we get a prophetic word, we get a prophetic insight, we get this word that God's going to do X, y and Z in our life, and we just sit back and do nothing. Whenever God starts talking to you about a harvest, he's always going to give you a seed. So as you sow the seed and steward the seed, the harvest is going to come, and that's the reason why God sends new people into your life. So then you have the ability to steward the new thing that he's bringing into your world, because if you don't start with a brand new seed, you can't get something of a harvest that you've never had before. So that's the reason why God is sending new people into your life.
Speaker 1:God is strategically placing. That's why some of you are watching right now is because God is putting people, or has put people or going to put people, in your life. You need to recognize it and glean from their wisdom, glean from the seed and then plant it in the ground. Be a good steward and watch what God will do in your life. My good God, that's so powerful. I hope that you're getting this right now. It's time for you to steward what God's given to you.
Speaker 1:The problem with the church is we receive instruction. Watch this as encouragement and not a requirement. I can't claim that one A friend of mine gave that to me and not a requirement. I can't claim that one A friend of mine gave that to me. It's not meant to be encouragement, it's meant to be a requirement. Get around somebody that's talking about marriage and they give you some wisdom that you don't have. It's not like wow, that's really good. What are you going to do with it.
Speaker 1:You got to steward that seed. That seed was given to you. There's potential with that prophetic insight. There's potential. There's potential with that prophetic insight. There's potential. Potential is dormant talent. You've got to awaken it. Stewardship causes talent to go from dormancy into reality. So it's not going to be dormant anymore. You're going to realize the potential because you've stewarded it.
Speaker 1:Man, my good God, I hope y'all are getting this right now. You've got to steward your seed in this season. You want change. You want a different harvest. You want God to do a new thing. Remember not the former thing, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I'm doing a new thing. And what now? It shall not spring forth. Shall you not perceive it? Why watch this? You perceive what you conceive. Oh, my good God, my good God, come on, somebody. Type that in. Type that in the chat box right there in the comment box.
Speaker 1:You will only perceive what you conceive If you don't conceive it, which means a mixing of the two. I'll never see what I don't conceive. I'll never perceive. I'll never see with insight until I conceive. So that's why God brings other people into your world to get you connected with something, so there can be a conception. You ready. So then God can change your perception. Ooh Jesus, if I can change my concepts, I can change how I perceive things. That's powerful, right there. So that's why God brings people that are already at the level you're trying to get to, so they can put something in you.
Speaker 1:So a concept, my good God, can happen that changes your perspective or your perception, which means watch this y'all. Whatever you see in the spirit, whatever you see, whatever you perceive, you will bring to reality. Oh, my good God. So that's the reason why God's bringing new people into your world. Get around them. The devil will keep you from the people. The devil will strategize, he will plot, he will do everything he can to keep you away from the people that watch this are going to change your conception, because if your conception doesn't change, your perception can't change and then, as a result, your harvest will stay the same. You'll get what you've always had. So you have to understand when God has connected you with somebody that's meant to impart something into you that you never had before, somebody that's meant to impart something into you that you never had before. Now watch this. How do I tell when my perception or how do I sell when I've conceived or I have a new conception. Now watch this.
Speaker 1:When a woman gets pregnant, she can't do it by herself. She needs a seed. The seed gets placed. The woman now conceives. Everything changes because of the conception. My God, now watch this. The seed is the precept. The precept is what is a law, a rule or something that gets connected in you, and when that happens, there's a conception. So what was on the outside now becomes in me. It begins to give birth. It starts a process. There's a conception. So what was on the outside now becomes in me. It begins to give birth. It starts a process, which is conception. Conception leads to a change in perception. Man, I hope I'm not going too deep with y'all, but that's the reason why God brings new people in your life so they can bring a precept. So then you can have a new concept, which means now you'll have a new perception. My good God, that's so powerful right there. That's so powerful. A woman can't conceive by herself. Now how do I know? When I've had a conception, I've conceived. Everything changes when a woman gets pregnant, her cycle stops.
Speaker 1:When a woman gets pregnant, she starts craving stuff like pickles and mayonnaise and peanut butter and tuna, and all mixed together, he's like what in the world is going on? Now, watch this. Because of the conception, how she sees. Even see, if you ain't pregnant with something, a lot of people may look at you like you crazy. Why are you eating that? Why are you doing that? Because I'm pregnant with something.
Speaker 1:My good God y'all better hear what I'm saying with something. My good God Y'all better hear what I'm saying, my good God, see. That's why, to some degree, when you conceive, some people should look at you like you're different. There should be something in you that says something has changed, something has shifted. Why? Because I start craving things that I didn't crave before. Now, why in the world are they eating tuna and jelly, I mean? Why in the world are they? I mean people just start craving all sorts of things or they'll eat one thing over and over. Why? Because of what has conceived within them. Now they're seeing tuna differently, they're seeing everything differently and, it's funny, even certain things that they may have loved they may start hating now. All because of the concept that has been created within them.
Speaker 1:Are you following what I'm saying? I'm trying to get you somewhere. That's why dimensions is here. It's tips to help you get to your next level. Tips to help you get to the next level. Somebody should put it in the comment bar again I'm going to another level, I'm at my next level. That's why God has you tuning in. Right now. I'm giving you stuff that will help you.
Speaker 1:And listen, I need to go back to this for a minute. You got to be very careful that the devil does not plot and strategize and take you away from the people that have the precepts that will give you the conception you need to have so your perception can begin to change and, as a result, your harvest will be different. Oh, that's so good, right there. So be careful, use wisdom. You wanna make sure that the people that are in your world because sometimes the devil will try to strategize and plot and try to do everything he can to keep you away from the people that have watch this the precept you need.
Speaker 1:Without a precept, there can't be a concept. You can't conceive where there's no seed. So that's why God brings people around you that are working a seed and then got a harvest that you've never had to expose you to a seed, so you can get the harvest you've never had. My good God, this is so powerful. And this reason why I need you to catch this, and that's reason why God's bringing new people into your world to give you the wisdom that you need to have so you can shift your next level. That's why, sometimes, god will move you out of one place and into another. He'll move you from one relationship into another. God will bring old friends, or take old friends out, or sometimes maybe even bring older friends that you've lost contact with, that have that seed to bring them into your life, so then you can have the precept you need to have.
Speaker 1:So then, when you get the precept and you take a hold of it, what does it mean to get a concept? If you take the precept, how do I make it into a concept? Simple, watch this. I take what I have heard and I begin to apply it into my life. When I do that, there is a conception and think about it for a minute. How do you get faith? Faith comes by hearing the precept, hearing by the words. So the precept comes in. Now, how do I know when I've conceived? How do I know when something has ignited within me? Because I've heard the word and now watch what happens. Faith, which comes by hearing. The precept cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But how do I know when faith has conceived? Faith without works is what did.
Speaker 1:If there's something dead in you that didn't land, you're not going to begin to apply it, you're not going to begin to work it the proof that you've taken the precept and turn it into a concept. What means your perception has changed. Now, how I perceive things has shifted. This is so good how. It's because I start doing things differently. I look at life differently. I look at what I'm doing. I look at my finances different. I look at my future different, look at my health different. That's why I talk to everybody about eating healthy and working out.
Speaker 1:When a precept I can talk to you about that, that's a precept. How do I know when it's conceived with me? Because now I begin to work what I've heard, and when I begin to work what I've heard, and when I begin to work what I've heard, the outcome will be different as a result. So it's very important that we understand that. That's how you're going to get your new thing. You're not going to get your new thing by just doing what you've always done, hoping that it falls out of the sky hoping that there it is. That ain't going to happen. What's going to happen? You are going to work the word, the precept that was brought to you. And now here's the point where I really want to get to today, and I'm not going to keep you real long, but I want you to catch this If you get a concept, you have to continue to steward it and stay with it until the harvest comes.
Speaker 1:People miss this. When God talks to you about a harvest, now watch this, he'll give you seed. That's it. See, it could be an idea. It can be some form, some form of a precept that God gives to you that, as you work, that things will begin to shift.
Speaker 1:Now here's where a lot of people mess up as well. They get pregnant. They got the precept, they have the conception. Now they have a concept, they've conceived. Now they're perceiving things differently. But here you go. This is what's important. You gotta stay with it, my God. Come on, mr Producer, put that in the comment bar for me as well. Ladies and gentlemen, put that in the comment bar. You gotta stay with it. You can just put it in there. Stay with it. I'm gonna stay with it. Something along that line. Prophesy over yourself, think about it.
Speaker 1:You don't want to abort the new thing that God is doing. How do I abort it? Many people get pregnant but then they don't carry full term. You got to carry the whole nine months. You got to carry. Whatever time it is, you got to carry until your change comes. You got to carry until you see what you need to see. You got to keep working and staying faithful. Keep eating your tuna and jelly. You got to keep eating whatever it is that God's put in your heart, whatever's caused you to see things, you got to stay with it. You got to keep working out. You got to keep changing your diet. You got to keep budgeting your money. You got to keep being disciplined. You can't back away from what gave you the precept, the law that brought things to place. You got to keep working that thing. And what happens to a lot of people? They work it for a little bit but then they abort the process because they don't allow the conception to bring about the harvest that they want to see.
Speaker 1:So it's important that you stay with it. Come on, type that in there right now. I'm gonna stay with it. I'm not leaving it. I'm going to stay with it in Jesus name. Stay with it, stay the course, stay faithful, stay, stay, stay. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Keep sticking with it until you get the harvest that God's called you to have in Jesus' name. Why?
Speaker 1:Because the Bible says that if we be not deceived, god is not mocked, for whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. Why is that so important? Because we need to understand that sometimes you got to stay with it until your due season. The Bible says we will reap if we faint not. Be not deceived, god is not mocked, for whatsoever man saw, that shall he also reap. But it's important to understand that we will reap if we don't faint. So I want to show you this real quickly. Go with me to Galatians. I want to read this to you and I kind of quoted it to you, but I want, I want you to see this. Galatians, chapter six, verse number seven do not be deceived, god is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. Verse number eight for he who sows was flesh, will the flesh reap crush, but he who sows with the spirit will the spirit reap life everlasting.
Speaker 1:Verse nine Now here's what I really want to get to. And let us not grow weary while doing good For in due season. In verse nine here we shall reap if we don't lose heart. So watch this Now. Can I prophesy? I feel like this is from the Lord right here in verse nine Don't grow weary while doing good for in due season We'll reap if we don't lose heart. So that lets me know. Now, hear me.
Speaker 1:When you're coming into a harvest, whenever you get ready to come into a harvest, you're going to battle against things that make your heart grow faint. We will reap if we don't lose heart. So that means losing heart is always at the door of reaping. My good God, when you are about to reap. My good God, I hope you're catching this principle. Reap, my good God. I hope you're catching this principle. The faint-hearted, the faint factors will appear at the door of reaping, at the door of the harvest. That's why I said we will reap if we don't faint. So that lets me know when reaping time is coming.
Speaker 1:There's a possibility I'll stop doing good and ready, I will get faint. Why? I'm not seeing what I want to see. I'm not seeing the results. I'm not. I'm not progressing the way I want to progress. I'm not seeing what I want to see, lord.
Speaker 1:So, what we do, we start saying, well, stop working the seat, I'll stop stewarding it, I'll stop budgeting. I'll stop, uh, being accountable for my sins, I'll stop, uh, I mean whatever it is that you'll stop doing the things that God's called you to do. You know, maybe you'll stop budgeting your money, maybe you'll stop going to church, you'll stop praying, you'll stop doing the things in your marriage that you know you need to be doing. Why? You're at the door of the harvest. Who am I talking to? Right now, that's at the door of the harvest and the devil's trying to tell you to quit. And the devil's trying to make you feel like it's not working, that the faint factors are starting to kick in. You realize you are about to reap. If we don't faint, if we don't faint, then you can't quit and throw in the towel. Now you got to keep working the seed until the harvest comes.
Speaker 1:My good God, the hardest thing to do, ladies and gentlemen, is to keep working that seed. And the hardest thing why? Because, think about it A woman gets pregnant. She's so excited, she's all excited. I mean, she can't wait. She goes to a little bit of morning sickness. Sometimes some do, some don't. You know. They go through that whole process. Then they get to about the eighth or the ninth month and now we're in the third trimester. Now I'm not sleeping well. And then think about it After carrying for nine months now, all of a sudden the water breaks.
Speaker 1:And it's the most painful, most difficult time. When you're at the door, jesus, help me. You're right about to break through. You're getting ready to see the harvest and it's the most painful, it's the most difficult. You got to push your grit and your teeth. I mean, it's just so hard. Your hips feel like they're popping out of socket. I mean everything is going on, but you're at the door. Who am I talking to? Right now? That's at the door.
Speaker 1:That God's saying you can't quit, you can't throw in the towel. You got to understand. You are in your moment, you're in your seat, but what do I need to do? Work the new thing. Think about it. When a woman is giving birth, she's now working the new thing that's within her. She's giving birth to the precept that became a concept that now is becoming a reality. This is the reason why you've got to stay with it. You can't quit, you can't throw in the towel. You got to keep on pressing on. In Jesus name, you got to stay with it. Some of you might've listened to me and said, man, I'm gonna start losing weight, I'm gonna start working out every day. Oh, I'm not seeing the results. So, people stop. You can't buy the lie of the enemy. You just got to stay with it. And let me say this as well One of the things I think about weight loss and things is that a fan of lifestyle changes Not that you can't diet, but I'm a fan you want to create a lifestyle change.
Speaker 1:So when you come off the diet, you are rehabilitated, if you will. Your mind has been renewed, something has shifted, something has changed, and so now you've dropped the weight, but your lifestyle doesn't cause you to go back to put on what you've just taken off, and so it's important that you have a lifestyle change, going to the gym and working out, and if you're not, I hope you take this as an opportunity to encourage you. You need to be in the gym, you need to be losing weight, you need to work out every day, you need to get your heart rate up, you need to get some of that cholesterol down. You want to be healthy in your life and you want to lose weight. You want to look good Listen.
Speaker 1:If you're single man, listen. You want to get your sexy back. You got to get your Justin Timberlake on. You want to get yourself where you need to be. So then, when she comes or he comes, you're looking good. You feel good about who you are. You have something to bring to the table. Get your finances right. Get your mind right. Get rid of your luggage. Identify your own stuff, because you don't want to be blaming your spouse for the junk in your trunk. Come on, somebody. You want to do all of that. Get everything together now. Why? So then, when they come, you are ready.
Speaker 1:You want to live long. If you're getting older. You know I'm real. I'm in my forties now. I'm realizing almost a few years I'll be in my fifties. You know I'm realizing. I want to live long. I want to be healthy. I of your chest. You only went up a flight of stairs. Come on now.
Speaker 1:That means you can't put much pressure on your body without it going into shock. Oh, y'all hear what I'm saying. Just as it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual. Some of us can't go through certain things. It puts our whole spirit, man, and our mind into shock.
Speaker 1:You want to make sure you're healthy spirit, soul and body. You want to take care of yourself. Make sure you're healthy, living a good life. Get them salads back into you. Get rid of all that fried chicken.
Speaker 1:Listen, I love me some Popeyes, but, man, you can't eat that every day. That stuff will kill you. I mean, you can't eat Snickers and stuff every night and a bowl of ice cream every night. Eventually that stuff is going to catch up to you Sooner or later. It catch up. And what a lot of people don't realize is sugar. Watch. This is like rust to your cells. I've shared this years ago. Sugar is like rust. It creates rust around your cells in your body. Your cells have kind of like a wax I'll call it, for lack of better words around them that protects them. That's where they talk about free radicals and things like that. Foods that produce free radicals break down your cells. That's how we get sick. That's how cancer comes in.
Speaker 1:So what you want to do, you want to put things in your body that cause your cells to have turtle wax around them or wires if you're really on the high end, and what that does. What does wax do for your car? There's elements of stuff that are going to hit it, but because you've put wax over it, it can't break through and penetrate and begin to bring oxidation or it begins to create rust because there's nothing protecting the metal or the clear coat of the paint. So what you do is you put wax on it that protects it from all the elements. Well, when you eat healthy, it's like putting wax around your cells. So then what's on the outside can invade it and begin to break it down and create rust, create cancer, disease, sickness, inflammation, all those types of things. So you want to begin to eat healthy in your life. Now I'm saying all that to say.
Speaker 1:I have a previous podcast on that, but with this one here, if you don't stick with the diet, if you don't do that, you're not going to see the results, you're not going to see what you want to see. But you've got to steward the seed, you've got to stick with it. You've got to keep working what you got to keep working so you can get the harvest that God wants you to have. In Jesus name, come on, somebody type amen. In there I'm preaching better than y'all are shouting right now. So I need you to understand something you want to stick to what it is that God's given to you. You got to stick to it in Jesus name. You got to have that stick-to-itiveness and keep working it, even when you don't feel like it.
Speaker 1:Sometimes, while you're in your process, you may have to make adjustments with the adjustments you've made, but stay with it. Stay with it. Don't let Rome doesn't get built in a day. Things that last take time to build. It just takes time to build. So you got to keep. Even with a baby. You don't just get pregnant and have a baby tomorrow. It takes nine months to bring that baby into the world Starts with a conception seed in an egg. Meet up and, as a result, things begin to develop and things begin to change. So that's where you are.
Speaker 1:I believe that with all of my heart. Prophetically, you are in a season that God is getting ready to bring a blessing into your life. Matter of fact, I think you're in it right now and if you're not, it's the reason why you're listening to this, because God's going to bring a new thing into your life, and those new things that he's doing in this season. Ladies and gentlemen, man comes from new people, or old people, that you have a new revelation, that they have something that you don't have. Sometimes, all God has to do is open your eyes to people that are already in your life and they can help you get to your next level. So I want to encourage you with this today, because I really believe that you are in your harvest season. You are in a harvest moment. God is getting ready to bless you in a supernatural way. I really, really believe that.
Speaker 1:I believe that right now, there's some of you that maybe you feel like you're going to quit and throw in the towel, and God sent me to you and you to me, so then you could stay with it. There's some of you that God's bringing new people into your life and that and you maybe didn't recognize it, or maybe the devil is trying to put an offense between you and that person, or a roadblock or whatever it is, because, remember, without a precept, there can't be a concept. So you two have to come together and the devil will try to keep you from that. It could be your pastor, it could be your spouse, it could be a family member. It could be a friend down the street, it could be a, it could be anybody.
Speaker 1:You have to recognize, though, who has the precepts, and you say well, how do I know who has the precepts? Do they have what you want? If they have what you want, that's how you can tell. So this is why I can't encourage you enough to begin to ask God to give you wisdom. Matter of fact, I'm going to pray with you, then I'm going to let you go today, because I really believe that this prayer is going to help you get to the next level, in the next dimension that God's called you to be at. So I just want to pray for you right now and just believe, god, that there's going to be a supernatural breakthrough in your life. You're going to recognize the people that God's put in your world, you're going to steward the seed, you're going to stay with it in Jesus name, and you're going to see the harvest that God has for your life. So let's pray, father, in the name of Jesus. I thank you for every person that's watching right now. I speak the blessing over their lives. In the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1:Father God, I bind up the spirit of offense. I bind up, father God, a dishonoring spirit. I bind up, father God, the spirit of a quitter. I bind up, father God, every roadblock and stumbling block, that it will not be a stumbling block, but it will be a stepping stone. In the name of Jesus, I prayed it. They will have wisdom and discernment to recognize the people in their world that you have sent to give them a new precept, that they can have a concept and that, lord, as a result, their perception will begin to change, their perspective will begin to shift and they will see things differently than they've ever seen it before. So, father, I pray that endurance will hit their life. I pray that they'll be blessed from the top of their head to the sole of their feet, that they will not quit, nor will they throw in the towel. In the name of Jesus, that they will stick with it and Lord, wherever the faint factor is trying to creep in, wherever they feel like they're ready to quit and throw in the towel, that, father, god, endurance would kick in. In the name of Jesus and Lord, they would reap because they will not faint. In the name of Jesus, we pray Amen, amen, amen.
