Walk It Out Wednesday: Now That You Know - Pastoral Panel

0:00Welcome to the Potter's House Podcast. You are home away from home. Stay a while as the Word of God restores your hope and transform your life. You better know your authority and what belongs to you. See, I know every now and then we sing songs like Victory is Mine. I know it's a little antiquated for some of you. Take it easy. I know it's a little antiquated for some of you. But every now and then you better learn how to lean on those Calibur songs. Victory is Mine. Victory today is Mine. And what's so amazing about that in songs like that and times like that, it almost lines up perfectly with what Pastor Sarah preached on Sunday. When you say something is Mine, that is identity. That's possession. That's an it belongs to me. And I know it belongs to me because I know who I am. And I know who I am because I know who's I am. And when you line up with the Father and you line up with what He has called you to do,

1:02I don't care what devil in hell told you you cannot make it. I don't care what devil in hell has lied to you and say this is going to always be this way. But when you know who you are, when you know who you are, and now that you know who you are, it makes us take a deeper dive into what Pastor Sarah talked about on Sunday as we begin to walk this out Wednesday. As the season sings, we say line upon line, pre-separ upon pre- okay, come on, Saints. Let's walk this word out. I am glad to be in the number to be able to talk about tonight. I want to to me one of the most destructive things that the enemy tries to do from the beginning is take our identity.

2:02He so elusive and deceptive, he even tried to take God's identity. When he said I will make myself like God. How are you going to try to steal the identity of the creator? You are trying to steal from somebody who created you. But that has been his DNA from the very beginning. And I kind of want to jump into this, we are kind of posing this question out. What do we think one is one of the largest problems? And we are going to get into the scriptures, we are going to talk more about that. But what do we think one of the largest problems in the body and Christ is the imposter syndrome. Because that's identity driven. And we got new generation up here with us today. We have seasoned generation with us today. So, and I said this because we get to talk about it from a broad perspective.

3:05When it comes to that imposter syndrome, when it comes to identity and the identity crisis. Because sometimes we call others to mode us into identities authentically not us. Because how they think we should be, how they think we should feel. But let's want to throw that question out there before we jump into it about that imposter syndrome versus this identity crisis. Well, to your earlier question right there, I think it goes in the same. I am just so excited to be here tonight. I think there is something in the atmosphere that is a lingering from Sunday. I can feel it. It's a lingering, something is going to happen in this place tonight. I feel it in my spirit. Yes, I feel somebody is going to get their breakthrough tonight. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It's in there. You made a statement about what the enemy, you know, his attempt to impersonate God or emulate God.

4:06Or emulate God or still God's identity. And then you said, why would the enemy do that? And I wanted to just bring it to relevance to now because we are guilty sometimes of the same thing. That it's easy when we look at the enemy with this thing and say, oh my God, how could he do that? But the minute we try to take control of our life, we set ourself above God to say, I know what's best for me. So the same thing we accuse him of, he said, you don't know because it's real subtle and cunning, but you're doing the same thing. The minute we remove God as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the minute we say, God, you can deal with this part of me. But this part of me, I'm going to keep to myself, I got this under control. We do the same thing the enemy does. We play ourselves as God. And again, I'll say this and I'll release it.

5:07We see semblance of this happening in culture, whether you look on any of the social platforms. There's this big question now. All of these think tanks, all of these round tables, people discussing God versus other religions or God versus non-God. All of these questions, and it marvels to me how we, if you think about how old the earth is, whatever your calculation can be, some say thousands, some say billions, whatever number you put it in, we're only here for approximately like 80 years. How is it that we, with an earth and a world, billions of years old, can think after 80 years we figured it out? Think about the foolishness of that. We are but a spec on the timeline of this earth, but some kind of way between zero and 80 around 40 and 50, we say, you know what? I didn't figure it out. I know where God is, I know what he ain't, I know this, I know this.

6:07This team sometimes. And when you put it in that perspective, you start to understand, wow, look how foolish the enemy has me sounding. I can't even figure myself out. There's still parts of me that I know, there's still parts of my anatomy, I don't even know how to work. You can't ask me how my God bladder worked. I don't know. I can't explain parts of me. How foolish would it be for me to try to explain to you this world, and I can't even explain myself. And to add to that, now people say, pray to God, which he take, they take away his identity that there is no identity. God is God, our God is God. You may be God. Whoever is God, that's who you pray to. So now God has no identity. And when you hear people saying, I pray to God, that God may be himself or herself, or that God may be a tree, or that God may be an animal, that God may be a mountain.

7:20But God no longer has identity in this season. And you'll hear people saying, oh, it's going to come to me in a minute. Somebody else talking, it'll come back to me. But God, and okay, go ahead and talk. Go ahead. I was going to pick up on what you said, though, because you're touching on a cultural theme that we're seeing right now. We're seeing people praying to the very thing that God gave us dominion over. So let's go back to Genesis. Pastor Sarah has been walking us through it. What was the thing God said when he created man, let us make man in our image and in our likeness. Now, Dr. Vell, let's go to Genesis 3. What happens? Satan comes in and he goes to Eve. What if Eve had sat with the fact that God already made her in his image and in his likeness? Because what is Satan tempted with? I wish we had that scripture. I know it's Genesis 3.

8:20But he says, if you eat of this fruit, it will make you like God. Hold on. She was already like God already. Having dominion. Having dominion. So we're praying to things and items and self. And we are we're missing the fact that we're now praying beneath the very identity that we were designed to have. The trick of the enemy. The trick of the enemy is to make us ineffective. And so one of the main ways, and I think you were alluded to earlier, somebody was there is power in names. When you use it right, when it's misused, that's why that's why in the Ten Commandments, we think when it says, now should I take the Lord God's name and vein, we think it's about Cusset. No, that was if you don't call my name because don't misuse the power in my name.

9:23And it was so sacred to them, they would not even call the name God because they understood there's so much weight to when I call his name. There's so much power when I call his name something happens and he said, listen, when you call my name, make sure that your call is not a name. That you're calling it to something and don't just say it in vain, oh God, oh God. And the trick of the enemy is to get us to pull away the power that we have and redirect it into something that's ineffective. And then blame God for not showing up. Do you realize, well, first of all, how powerful what all you've just said and the kind of line up with that, what the enemy does is he knows he can't remove the power in name. He calls us the dilute the power from God's name. So he doesn't do it in one generation. He doesn't do it in one moment. He gives us subtlety. He uses subtle things like, well, things that we can't explain.

10:27So then we start calling a tree God and we start calling him out because it has to make sense for us when the God we serve doesn't make sense. Because there is no time when it comes to God. How do we say when the God become, he did not become, he's always was. The problem we have to do is we try to put it in the beginning, in the beginning is a forgot. In the beginning is for us, not for him because he's Alpha and Omega. So understanding that we're in the likeness of him now goes to what you said earlier, Dr. Oscar, what you just said, Dr. Val, what you said, he says, you will be like God knowing the difference between good and evil. Wait a minute. It was not like God for us to know evil. And the Bible says, and Pastor, hit on it when she saw that it was good.

11:27So in other words, you can talk to the enemy so much that it changes your image through the perspective of how you see God. That's why you have to be careful who you talk to. Because people can have good intent but not know your assignment. And I'm going to turn over to you, Oscar, because that now goes to our anchor scripture. Peter has good intent when he says, surely this won't happen in you, Pastor. And Jesus says, get behind me, Satan. He didn't say, get behind me, Peter. He said, get behind me, Satan. Who you've been talking to is in front of you. He has to be behind you because your Lord's in front of you is what you look at. And if you look at the wrong word long enough, the wrong word would appear to be right. You know, I can't. Are you sure it's a great. That's my uncle Oscar.

12:27I'm not going to. No, I think to mischaracterization of God is something that we also saw. So he not only tried to deceive her with this idea that if you eat the fruit, you'll be like God. But he also told her basically that God is jealous of you. Which is crazy. God is jealous of you. He was jealous of God. But he wanted, he wanted her to think that God was jealous of you. So he's trying to withhold power from you. That he does not want you to have power. No, you're not going to be like it. No, you're not going to run past what you just said. I'm going to treat you like I treat Pastor Dobbins. That was so good what you just said. You just said the enemy is trying to fool us to make us think God is trying to withhold something from us. Isn't that a problem that sometimes when God doesn't answer us, like what you wanted to do,

13:27he will tell us, oh God is withholding that from you. Oh, that's so good what you just said. When he's a good father and he knows how to give good gifts, he says what good father would give a snake? You know what I mean to his child? He knows how to give good gifts. And the mischaracterization of God and thinking that God is a punisher, that God is cruel, that somehow because we don't make the best choices that he wants to hurt us. No, he wants to correct us, but it's through love. It's because he loves us and it's because he wants more for us. Not because he's some scary God out to punish us, but when you don't have the accurate perspective of who God is, then you can't receive his love and therefore you can't love yourself. And you cannot see yourself right. Because if you have a misconstrued perception of who God is and you can't see who he really is, well, we're made in his image and is like this.

14:30You know, this is our mirror, this is our father, this is our mirror, this is our identity, it came from him. So when you can't see him and you can't receive his love, how would you be able to love who you are? A whole generation grew up like that. So it was a generation of us that grew up thinking that way, that God punished, that God would throw us away. If we were wrong, God would, we'd go to hell if the pastor said we were going because the pastor was the final say. And so this is a generation that grew up that way. I'm glad that there's a new generation that sees God for his love and his compassion and his peace and his joy. I'm glad there's a generation that can see past his punishment, his penalty and see his love.

15:37I want to, you opened up something and I don't want to dive further to it, but I can't let this go because when you reference, and it's from the sermon, past his era, that moment that Eve looks at the fruit. And there's a whole process in that. The first thing is she is taking in information from a liar. So the first problem was she did not grab that thought and cast it down. She allowed the lie to reverberate in her head, in her emotions, in her psyche, in her mind until his lie became her truth. Which is the same thing that happens to us. Everything that the enemy will try to cause unrest in your life will start with a thought. That will be very subtle. It may not come, it may not bombard you. It'll come through a program. It'll come through something you're watching.

16:39It'll come through an inference and it'll come and it'll just stay there and you'll dismiss it and then it'll come back. Because he's patient with it because he knows. We don't know how long he talked to Eve. Right. We don't know if it was one day, two day, three day. All we know is that she kept in communication with the enemy. To the point where what she knew she shouldn't get now started to seduce her. This is what passes it. It was seduction. Seduction takes time. It's a slow process. He was seducing her into his mindset. So she sees this. But here's the other thing. When it got into her eargate. Because if faith come by hearing. Fear comes by hearing. Bistrust comes by hearing. When it gets into your eargate and we've talked about this before, that is the place where now it has connection to your mental, to your psyche, to your heart.

17:39As long as it stays outside of your eargate, you okay? But the minute you let it in, now it gets into your emotions and into your soul. And it starts to wrestle with your spirit. That's why we need the Word of God because the Word of God appears as a sun to the spirit and the soul. And so now it's its wrestling until if we're not careful, the soul becomes louder than the spirit and it becomes our influence. Okay, okay, okay. Can I just kind of please go ahead? Okay, so I'm going to jump in here right quick. I was trying to say this for later. I'm going to say it right now. Genesis 2, which passage Sarah talked about Sunday, verse 16 and 17. We talked about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now we normally skip over the word knowledge and go to good and evil. I want to start with the knowledge because the word knowledge is what the tree was.

18:40It was the tree of knowledge. All right, and good and evil only described what the knowledge was. Which means there are specific types of knowledge that God didn't want us to have. Okay, not that he didn't want us to have knowledge, but he didn't want us to have the knowledge of good and evil. Okay, well, what piece? So knowledge in the Hebrew is the word yada, Y-A-D-A. Check out this meaning. It means to ascertain by seeing. So when she saw that the fruit was good, she heard it, but it wasn't until she saw what she heard, she then saw it. And that's what brought her into the knowledge of good and evil. Because then it took on the form of what she heard.

19:42What she saw took on the form of what she saw. And so it's not, and then that comes in the word knowledge comes into discernment. There it is. See, before we fell, we didn't need discernment. Right. But now discernment is necessary because what discernment is having to separate mentally what good and evil is. We can't trust what we see. And the thing was we didn't have to be able to discern anything if we stood on what God gave us. But we won't stand on that. But we won't stand on it on a Sunday, shouting. But we won't stand on a Thursday afternoon when the trials come. Because what you just said, Dr. Krung, it's so good that we're in the intersection of good and evil.

20:44And our thoughts, if not instructed by God, are unreliable. Because we talked about this the other day. If you, the one and the worst thing to do is use the barometer of your feelings on whether something is good or evil. Or I feel bad about it so as evil. That's not true. You can feel absolutely bad and is good for you. You can be absolutely going through, hate what you're going through and is God's assignment for your life. So can we please get out of that? I got it. Feel good is God. It could feel good and be the enemy. Oh God, open that door for me. Are you sure? The Bible said he will appear as an angel of light. So when he subtly seduced her into the knowledge, the Bible says he is the father of lies. So when he says this, the word father means having the ability to plant seeds.

21:45So he needed a wound to put the seed in. Because the conversation with Adam would have did no good. But the conversation with Eve would multiply. This tree had been there the entire time. This is not a new tree. So this is not her first time seeing the tree. They knew the tree was there. The God told them in fact was it one of the things that Adam named? Adam named the animals, but the tree was already there. He said the tree of life is there. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is there. They knew it was there. They had the real true knowledge of God. And God told him, don't touch that. When he said, the Bible says that God commanded Adam. Yes. God. He commanded Adam. Which tells us the Lord dropped this in me Sunday. Roman 7, I don't know if they put it up.

22:47They put the other one up. Yeah. So. Roman 7, 21. Okay. So let me just take this. So Paul says, so I find a lot. Work. And work. And work. Yes. Check this out. If you go back because Roman 7 actually relates back to Genesis 2. So if you study them together, you see it. So when God commands Adam, he is setting in motion a law. How do you know it's a law? Because a law says either do this or don't do this. Right. Do this or don't do this. Now it wasn't the end at the the endemic covenant yet. Right. But it was the beginning of the covenant coming because the covenant came in chapter 3. Right. But here is Paul now saying, I find in a law he's going all the way back to this tree. All right. The tree now represents this law of good and evil. Check this out.

23:47Check this out. Because when you do good, evil is present. The tree had good and evil. So when you do good, evil is going to be, you know how to discern something? This is 101. This is class 101. Always know that where there's good, there's also evil. Absolutely. Where there's evil, there's also good. The thing is, you got to discern which is which. Dr. Crompton, I am literally out of my skin because I'm going back to Pastor Sarah when she talked about Cain and Abel. Yeah. Yeah. Did God not give Cain the warning? And he said, evil sin, it lurks about. But I'm giving you the warning now. If you do good, if you do good, yeah, you will prevail. If you do good, it will work for you. Yeah.

24:47But sin, evil was present, was waiting and that anger, it got the best of them. That perspective that he could not shake. Because if I go way back to the question you asked, what is this generation attacked with? What are we attacked with? All in this room, it's our perspective. Yeah. It's our ability to see. Yeah. And if we don't see right, because what does God do? He provides a way out of every single temptation. So maybe the discernment is stop for a second. And just to make it practical, before you feel that temptation to sin, before you feel that desire starting to pull you, because what does James say? The desire before it is conceived. Then when it's conceived, sin gives birth to what death? So the desire, it was desirable to her. Can I have one more thing to do? Add it. Because here is the thing about discernment. Disarmment also includes emotion. It includes the entire being, which was what God did not intend.

25:52Because God is a spirit. And if we were made in His image and after His likeness, then feelings and emotion didn't have to be included in the knowledge. But now that we have to use discernment as our way of talking or coming or separating mentally, good from good and evil, it will incorporate you using your emotions. Now I want to tie that to what you said. The discernment is important because you said something. We came to pass that. The enemy, the father lies, I love that, plant seeds and needs a womb. Because he does not have permission to create in the earth. Right. We were given dominion and authority. And the power to create in the earth. So what he comes is to plant a seed in your emotions,

26:53hoping that you can't discern the voice of him from the voice of the father. So that you will birth in the earth what he spoke to you. That's why discernment is so important. Because he understands if anything is going to happen in this earth, it's going to take you and me. So if I can get into their thoughts and plant a seed, and if they're not careful and if they don't uprooted, they will birth something that will go down through their bloodline. Some of us are dealing with stuff in our bloodline that the enemy planted generations ago, that somebody didn't uproot from its roots. But God has given us authority. We don't have to be afraid of. Because when you see that thing, you go after it, we talked about this the other week. You keep going after it. We don't have to be afraid even when we call generational curses. We don't have to be afraid of something that's traveled down generations. When you come into the knowledge. Right. Into the knowledge of the truth.

27:54When you come into the knowledge, that's why Jesus Christ came. He said because I'm coming to break every curse that's trying to latch hope to you. And when you come into the knowledge and the fellowship of me, what you say here on earth, out back up in heaven. Are you backing up? And we wonder. I feel it. And we wonder why we don't get back up. Because we don't speak like him. We speak words he say, but we don't speak like him as authority of him. So now we are a empty vessel making a whole bunch of noise. Sounded like him, but denying the power thereof. Because discernment requires watch this. Let me see if I get some shout. Submission. And sacrifice. To the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost speak to me. He said I'm looking for a vessel that's willing to submit to me. So even when I say no, the answer is no. So I need discernment not so I can get ahead.

28:55So I can get under what he is telling me to say. So it's not me speaking. It's him speaking through me because I'm being navigated by the Holy Ghost. That's why I don't care about a generational curse. Matter of fact, tell me I had a generational curse. So I know where to get it from the room. Come on. Let me add another estimate. You said submission, but let's add study. Because the reason why the enemy can trick us is because we don't know the word of God strong enough. To know when he's speaking against the word. The reason why Jesus was able to withstand the temptation is because he knew the enemy is contorting the word. He's distorting it. He's trying to change it. And God said no, no, no, no, no. You might be quoting the scripture, but you leave it out something. You're not saying no. And when we get to the point of spiritual maturity, where we stop listening to other people and getting the word for ourselves, discernment becomes easier because you can say, oh no, no, that's not God. That's not what his word says. People talk against his word.

29:55That don't even sound like God. That sounds good. That sounds good, but it don't sound like God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. You know, you know what's so good? This is so good. When you said, and when it's been said, that they planted a seed in our womb, now it makes sense why Jesus had to come into a womb. Come on. Without the help of a man. Did you just wait a minute? Oh, wait a minute, wait. He had to backfri, the works of the devil in the womb of a woman. He had to reclaim the womb. So, so Mary had to be a virgin so the womb can be pure.

30:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because what one word planted in the gun, changed it one womb. Listen, the next womb. Okay, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm some boy. Yeah. Boy, I'm hearted. Listen. Oh, my. Okay. I told you something will happen. I told him something, something, something, something is going to happen. Something is going to happen. He's reclaiming your womb. He's reclaiming your womb, he's reclaiming his territory. Yeah. He's taking back his territory. He's taking it back. He's taking it back. Wow! Dr. Va... Wait a minute, you came back. So he said, devil, you thought you had a womb. Yeah, but I come to give her her life back. Because you took life out of her when you planted that foolishness in her womb. But I came back into her womb to give her life back so that when she burst something

32:00in the earth, it's going to have life and not death. It's going to give power and darkness. That hit it, he gives power. It's going to be what God says and not what you said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, y'all better jump in here because we go crazy up in here. That's what he said. He comes that you might have life. So, so here's what it makes sense. So when he said the seed of the woman, yeah, we'll, he already knew what he was going to do. Oh, my God. Through Mary a long time ago, he said, you mess it up with a word. I'm going to straighten it up with a word because what you don't know is my son's going to come and it's going to come through a wound that you toxically messed up. I'm going to straighten it up. Oh, okay, okay, wait, wait, I'm, I eat. Okay, so, so when the angel spoke to Mary, right, right, and told her she was going to be

33:01with child, she had a choice not to believe that. Check this out. But when he said it to her and she called it, she called a glimpse of it, that word, she saw it. She saw it. And she was able to ascertain it because it, the word, the enemy spoke a word and it became an apple and Eve's eye. So when the angel spoke to Mary, they're saying, wait, she received that word and it became something in her eyes and she was able to bring it for. She responded and she says, be it unto you. Kisses, even she's not even pregnant yet. Right. But already said, once she opened the program, I see it happening. It hadn't happened yet, but I see it happening. It hadn't occurred yet. But because you spoke it, I received it because the Holy Ghost just caused me to agree with

34:07what you just said. There is no indication that the Holy Ghost had fallen on that time, but I'm going to speculate in something fell on Mary and said, you better receive what's being said right now. And some people better receive what's being said in this moment, Dr. Williams. Some people better receive it because you don't see it now. Yes, I'm going to say this is about to come to pass. And now that you know. Yes, so so so so. You you mess with me. You mess with me. You mess with me. It is so important. The birthing thing. Yeah. That look at the dichotomy between Mary's response and her cousin Elizabeth. Don't boy. Yeah, yeah. The God did not want Zacharias to mess up the promise of John. Right. What did he do? So he shut his mouth. Why? Because he said, I don't want you to speak the wrong thing over the forerunner.

35:12So I'm going to close your mouth because you don't believe it. Because it's so important this cycle of deliverance that's coming through the womb so that now when Mary goes see Elizabeth, Mary now says something she speaks and what she speaks goes into the womb of Elizabeth and wakes up John. That's how powerful what you have in your mouth is. That's why the enemy is trying to inform your folks because if I can get you to speak wrong, you're going to create wrong. But God is saying I'm getting you authority in your mind. Whatever you buy don't hurt with your talk will be bothering heaven. Let me let me calm down. Let me calm down. How? You might need to we might need to calm up. We'll need to calm down. We might need to calm up. Calm up. So if you take that. No, no, go ahead, doctor. I go ahead. So the problem has been that our wounds have been contaminated with evil.

36:18The womb of our mind, yes, has come into our womb of the womb of our hearts because they are connected and we have not been able to produce good fruit. So we call it a curse. That's right there. So you mean the debt that I'm in, I created because my womb is contaminated and instead of speaking myself out of debt, I speak myself in debt because deeper in debt because I'm making wrong decisions based on the information coming to me. I'm spending when I should be saving. Oh, it's quiet now. It's quiet. It's quiet in this church. It's quiet.

37:19It's quiet. It's quiet. You know, if you take what you just said, now he goes to what you said past the time, when you start, we start talking about endoc discernment. Descurnment. Descurn because if you don't discern, you would assume, castes, if Dr. Williams, if Elizabeth, if she doesn't discern the moment, now her husband is out of his clothes, so nothing is messed up, but nothing is moving in a womb. If you don't discern properly, you'll think what's in her womb is dead because nothing is moving. And the problem is some people because we think nothing is moving. God has not in it. Not understanding she has one thing that is making her fully capable. She's on her way to a word. She has no idea. Yes. She's on her way to a word. The text says nothing is moving and that the salutation of Mary, her womb leaps.

38:24She wasn't going there to get her womb to leak. Sometimes proximity, being in the right place will create movement that you didn't even expect. And I don't know who this is for today, but God is about to create movement that you didn't even expect. That you thought was a dead piece of God says I put you in here today to this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. See? See? You can't run past it. Because you have to understand Elizabeth is in a house with Zacharias and not hearing anything. You got a pause right there. She's not now. Now why is that I don't hear you from a husband? If you read the text, if you read the text, she actually has now gone away from the city. So she's not hearing a word at all. Her husband came to speak. The one who should be speaking over her, his mouth is shut and he can't speak to her.

39:28So now her ears are not hearing anything. And what should be moving inside of her is now lying dormant because there's no word coming into her ear. See, that's what happens when the enemy tries to get you to stay at home. Stay away from church because he's trying to get you away from the word. I said that. Sarah was only inside of you because as long as you stay away from the word, what you suppose to be birthed will lie dormant. But when Jesus came, when Mary came to Elizabeth's house, all it took was Mary's voice that was carrying the anointing, and it woke up what Elizabeth was already carrying. All you need to do is get you a place where you can hear the anointing and everything inside of you will wake up. Because, listen, he said Zacharias mouth up because he didn't want him to say the wrong

40:28thing. Because if you go back to Genesis, too, the problem was that the devil got her to believe the wrong thing. And see when you don't come to church to hear the right thing, your spirit gets filled with the wrong thing. The enemy thinks you don't make you think you don't need to come to the house of prayer. That you don't need to sit among the people because the people ain't right. The people doing the same thing I'm doing. That's the devil talking to you. So that you won't come here and hear the right thing. He will leave you at home and shut your womb up with all the convoluted stuff you already got in it and you're wondering why you can't get nothing to happen. See, that's the problem. Wasn't Elizabeth needed a word?

41:30Yeah. She needed a right word. And Zacharias wasn't going to speak the right word. That's why his mouth was shut up because he didn't believe because he wanted another word. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tell your time. Because he didn't want what was supposed to be. He wanted what he wanted it to be. So the Lord said, no, you're not going to speak it. His name is not going to be that. His name is going to be this. So until he's born, I'm going to shut your mouth so that you won't speak the wrong word over her life. And his mouth came open. After. After. When she birthed, when he had, because all of that, his mouth became open to tell them what his name would be. Yeah. And when they tried to name him, they said, what's Elizabeth, what's your name? Your name is Zacharias. That's when the Lord opened his mouth. No, his name will be John.

42:32If y'all don't stop, I'm about to throw this microphone in this walk it out. When is it? Because this is so good. Go ahead. No, no, no, because I'm just wondering, could it be that with the silence that he was sitting in, the word that was released to him, because the last thing he heard from the Lord was, I will seal your mouth until and you will call him John. So what if, and this is practical for us? What if you need to start meditating on the word of God until it takes root in your mind? And you let the seed of the word ruminate and germinate so that when it's time to open your mouth, you speak the word of God. And because you let it take root in your mind, when you speak it, you speak it with authority because you believed it. And I can't help but think that that's exactly what it was. Because if it comes in in a thought and we don't stop it there, then what happens?

43:33It ruminates in our mind. Takes root and it bears fruit. And it bears fruit? And what does sin do gives birth to death? You said something in the back and I feel like it's very important for the room. We were talking about function. Yes, yes, come on now. And I can't help but when we go back to what pastor Sarah has been preaching, we've been talking about identity. I believe, and it's not just my belief, Pastor Don, that God wants to restore our kingdom identity. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because we cannot function, and I hope you can flow into what you shared, but we cannot function properly in the kingdom. What did Jesus preach about? His central message was the kingdom. The old, the kingdom is at hand, repent, the kingdom is at hand, to make a demons. You cannot see the kingdom unless you be born again.

44:35Everything was about the kingdom. So that tells me that I need to get a revelation about the kingdom and my place in the kingdom. We got function in the kingdom. Dominion, subdue, authority, these are kingly attributes. Kings and priests. I will make you a kingdom of priests. This is my kingdom of priests, so it's the priesthood we received through Christ. The kingship was the original design and function. To understand your statement, we have to, there's a great book called, Miss reading scriptures through Western eyes. It's a great book. The one thing we have to understand what you just said, is we have to forget everything we know American. Come on, come on, come on. To understand kingdom, you understand citizenship.

45:36Yes. You understand how you are arching and authority. When a king says something in the past, oh, in the king says something present in another country, oh it's law. It is absolute law. There is no changing it. It is sealed. And he says I'm trying to reestablish that back from the book of Genesis. When I gave you dominion, you were too busy engaged in a conversation. You had dominion over. You just didn't have dominion over the enemy. You had dominion over the conversation. You are talking to people you shouldn't even be talking to. You are listening to people you shouldn't even be listening to. And the danger of what I believe is that Elizabeth's husband had to shut his mouth because she could have possibly been tainted in her womb again by what he spoke. So sometimes you got to stop getting mad with people because they're not talking to you.

46:36Baby, stop talking to me. I don't want you to talk to me in this season because I need to discern properly. I'm uncomfortable but this is good because I got to get to the word and me being uncomfortable going to get me to the word and I'm going to do whatever it takes to get to the word. If you got to be quiet, we have become so co-dependent on people's voices and not the word of God. What is God saying about this situation? What is God? You know that if you're not in the environment of the people, you won't know that if you don't study for yourself rightfully dividing the word of truth. What is God saying in this season of my life, oh, I'm going through? Well, okay, that's fine. Let me sit back. I'm going through it because only the other side of going through. There's a promise. And I understand there's a promise. I'm uncomfortable. So what? Every now and then your promise requires you to be uncomfortable. So as we make this practical, this kingdom talk, and this corruption of the womb, we're

47:40living in a season now where kingdom talk has been corrupted. Yes, my God, yes. We're living in the season and the era of Scripture, if you know Bible, we're living in that time where the Antichrist is trying to not try according to the word will, set up a kingdom. If we're not careful to understand the word and the kingdom of God, we will get what's the word seduced into what it looks like now. And we won't be able to discern the difference. And it's a fearful time as Pastor Sarah said Sunday, but it's fearful because we don't know our word.

48:42And when you don't know your word, you don't understand what an ambassador is. You don't understand it. Because when I understand I'm an ambassador. I don't care what land I'm in. I'm a U.S. citizen. So no matter I can be in another country, but as long as I'm an ambassador, I don't operate under the laws of the land that I'm in. I operate under the set of laws. So when I say I'm well off, I don't care about a recession. I'm not affected by a recession because I don't go by the law because I made sound decisions. I wasn't wasteful what God gave me. So you can't say, oh yeah, the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. No, no, no, no, have you been obeying with the word say? So you can't just be okay. Come on. But you got to respect the law. You can't call it demonic when it was your bad decision. But you got to respect the law of the land that you're walking in. Absolutely. We're in this world.

49:43But not of it. But not of it. So I know we have a slide of this, but I want to, because this is what we've talked about the back and you kind of alluded to it, Pasadam, that when we read scripture, it is important to divorce ourselves from the ideology of Westernized understanding. Absolutely. That the Bible is written for us, but the Bible was not written to us. Okay, so understand the difference. It was written to a people in an ancient world that did not see any of this that we have now that did not speak English, that did not speak our same vernacular. They don't know our context any of that. And we don't know all of theirs. So it takes research. So when we look at scripture, we have to look at it and read it through the lenses of a people who did not know that the son was a son. They just looked up and saw a light.

50:46Think about it. They didn't have all of the things that we have to explore. They hadn't gone into space. They didn't know all they did was when they looked up, they saw a light. So when you look at that from a very elementary place, when you understand, and I've done some research on this and studied this, so I want to bring this to good, because we're talking about good and evil. And I want to add good, not good and evil. Because the opposite of good to God is not evil. It's not good. And I'm going to show you that in a minute. But from an ancient world perspective, when they see a saw the word good, tove, it had a lot of different beautiful, look at us. Look at how we floss and all y'all. Look at y'all. This is fancy. We did our homework. We didn't get fancy. Okay. So when we see, and this is just real brief, just walk, let me just lay this real fast,

51:47many times when we see word translated or transliterated, what is happening is we'll see a plethora of definitions or meaning. Because one Hebrew word can mean many different English words in different context. So when we see good and we see evil and pastor Sarah was alluding to this, she had the slide on evil. Good in context in the ancient world was all these definitions, but also contextually, spoke to process and function. So when God is creating the earth, look at what happens. He first sees chaos, darkness, void. And every day he starts to bring order back into what was chaos. Right. He calls what he does good. This is good. Not because he was so impressed with his sevens and said, oh, that's so pretty. Good was it now functions.

52:48It now is aligned and it's now in process. And we see this all the way up until he creates man. And this is the first time he says something is not good. Man has been created, but when he says it's not good that man should be alone. Now check this out singles. He doesn't call it evil. He just says it's not good because man is not functioning to as high as percentile. That's good. Without a make. Oh, y'all ain't talking to me. That's good. Because God is about function and process. Not what looks pretty, but what is coming into alignment for kingdom work. So everything he does leads up to God resting. Why? Because when everything is in order, you can rest. If you move into a house and everything is disarrayed, you work to get it together, not so you can be busy, but when you see it all together, what do you do? You rest. That's why there is a Sabbath for the believer because God is saying your life was never

53:53meant to live in unrest, to live in anxiety, to live in evil. Put that slide of evil up, to live in evil. All of these things are what the enemy is trying to pull you out of rest to be in unrest. So you'll deal with adversity. You'll deal with hurt. You'll deal with sorrow because his job is to keep you unrest, keep you restless at night, keep you agitated, keep you going off in your mind. And that's why the scripture says there remain it a rest for the people of God. You don't have to be depressed. You don't have to have anxiety. All you gotta do is find your way to rest. I wanna take what you just said and I wanna make this financial for somebody. Money is a horrible boss, but it's a wonderful slave. When I'm gonna say it again, money is a horrible boss, but money is a wonderful slave.

54:55And you have made decisions that can create residual income and you don't have to work. You rest easy. When you go to bed at night and your money is working, you rest a whole lot easier. When you make the proper investments and the money now is giving you a return on your investment, you work a whole lot easier. But when you've been lazy with your decision making and now you gotta sell your time for money, you're now uneasy. I gotta get up early tomorrow because I gotta go to work. I gotta get up early on that and I'm not against work. What I'm saying is the decision you make today affects how you live tomorrow. So sometimes in order to be able to rest tomorrow, you gotta be able to sacrifice today. So I want to go financial with that because some people I wanna be well to stop. No, then you gotta start making decisions now. You gotta start making good decisions now to get things in order, to create a trust,

55:58to create a holding company. So now I know I create a financial freedom for my children's children. And the only reason why God could rest because he understood this principle, I made something once that had the ability to multiply. Come on, come on, and gave it a command. And gave it domain. Imagine when you can make money one time and the rest of it does it just multiplies. Imagine when you have instilled so much in your children that they'll multiply what you've been teaching them. See, you gotta be willing to make this sacrifice now. I told you earlier, we just God is not candy coated Santa Claus. Do it for me, God do it for me. He said, no, I gave you power to go get wealth. I gave you power to do it. So it's not just being around people in the room. It's about being around being like people who's meant for your future. And who's meant for your future is extremely important. Yeah. I was, you know what? I, when I think about what you were saying, Dr. Oscar, when you were talking about order and when you were talking about process,

57:05I also wanted to kind of go back to discernment. Because when we were talking, I was like every time when I have to discern between good and evil, if there is a lack of peace in my spirit, if there is a shakiness, if there is an unrest, if there is something in my soul that is a little bit uneasy, I'm like, okay, I'm a pause. Because most of the time, if I do not feel the peace, there's a peace that's connected to the order. When I met my husband, when I met my husband, you know, there were a lot of things that I had to, you know, trust God for. I had my fears, I had my, you know, just like anybody would. I'm like, okay, but there was a difference between what felt like my own fear and what I had experienced before with the counterfeits when I felt a lack of peace. There's a difference.

58:06There's a clear difference. One is, one is a human thing and when I had to submit that to God and say, God, is this my fear or is this yours? He showed me, oh yeah, that's your fear connected to your perspective that had been misconstrued. But you know what it feels like when you do not have peace on a situation. Because no matter how good it feels on the outside, no matter how many people have five you, there's just that little tiny peace that's like, ugh, ugh, no, this don't feel good. This don't feel good. But there's a peace and an ease, not that things and situations will all go perfectly. But there is just an ease when you are surrendered to God and you are committed to the word that he spoke and you said, I'm going to walk through it no matter what it feels like because I know that heaven is pushing me. This isn't just my momentum. This is heaven pushing me forward that you can flow from because there's an order connected to it.

59:09Let me say something real quick, Dr. Weasel, first of all, that's good. To everyone that's here, to everyone that's here, we are now making a conscious effort to make sure we answer all your questions. So if there's someone here that's in the building, we want you to make your way over to my left, you're right. Deep with the other microphone, we're going to take live questions. If you're online, make sure you put your questions in the chat. We want to make sure we address all the questions. So you don't have to go home wondering. But you set it up so beautifully and if y'all could just put that slide up again, I don't know. Did we? Yeah, the one with both of them. This I believe we want something. Yeah, that's it. Because what you said past the ring was so important that I don't want us to miss and past the Sarah said this on Sunday. It was never God's intention for us to know evil. So that unrest, it was never God's intention for us to struggle with his word, to struggle with unrest,

1:00:09to not be in peace. That's why the Sabbath was there. He was showing us what rest looks like. So when we come into the knowledge of evil, we come into the knowledge of all of these things that now cloud our judgment. And now we got to walk through the earth trying to figure out God is this you. And that's why he says lean not to your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge me and I'll be your alignment. That's good. Because you're still trying to figure out with the knowledge that you have was good and was evil. And you're going to be doing that from now until you get back to me. But as long as you hold on to me, I'll navigate you through this forest. That's good. Can I give something practical just because it connects to my wife's story. So the same thing that she described about peace. I had this moment and this has been the moment that literally gave me the understanding of what the peace of God that surpasses your understanding is.

1:01:10And peace is not the absence of conflict. It is contentment within the conflict. So I need to make the distinction because we'll look at things and be like, well on the surface, this is why he brought an emotions on the surface, my emotions because for me, the moment where God showed me that Ren was my spouse, I prayed and I was wondering because on the surface, y'all might not know the story, but Pastor Torrey was my boss. My pastor. So my where my resources were coming from. Keep it one. Tell the truth. So my boss, my pastor and they became my spiritual family. So I'm taking a massive risk by going to the man of God to my pastor and saying, sir, I know you've trusted me to come into the family and to be an employee and to be a disciple of this house, but sir, something is going on. So I have to take a big risk. Right.

1:02:12I'm telling you. So I know my understanding was like, oh, dude, like I just, and I remember pacing back and forth and I said, God, I don't know what this is, but I surrender it to you. And his response to me saying, God, I don't know what this is. He said, that is what this should feel like. And I said, what's this then? The peace that surpasses your understanding. And at that moment, it became clear. I said, oh, so that's when I know I can move because you've affirmed it. Understanding tells me this is crazy. This is wild. If I screw this up, a lot of things are on the line. You're fired. Right. Right. Bytie. Have fun, friends, and then yourself and all of the panelists. But anyways, it was the peace of God that surpassed my understanding. Let that be a guide. When you surrender, because that's what it was. I had to surrender. I see something, God.

1:03:13What is this? Yes, son. This is what it should feel like, proceed. And then I took the right steps. We'll tell that story another day. God, little, you look at that. So listen, so we have a lot of questions lined up. So listen, listen, oh, my. Let's go. My question is about how the identity question is, you know how we are to have the men and over the earth and yet still the enemy is named as the prince of the air. I was trying to figure out how those two parallel or how did they work like that. Our offense of the air. Yeah, well, you know what that's, I think we talked about this the other week. Prince of the power of the air. But remember my sister, you sit in heavenly places. So your dominion is above where he is. And the only time you come into unrest is when you get out of your seat that's seated next to the father and then go in a dominion lower than you and start

1:04:13hustling with the enemy who you have dominion over. That's yours. Your dominion will always supersede where he is because remember in this earth, he needs you in order to create. You don't need him. So he's pursuing you. You have the power just like Jesus did to say Satan, I rebuked you and he has to flee. It is when we entertain the enemy. It's when we allow him into our space. Now we are like he did inviting a conversation with someone who set out to deceive you. He has no power on earth. Okay, so the difference between earth and air is that he has no power. We were given the earth. That's why the air is where he speaks to you because he can't do nothing on earth. And if he can get it to you through the air, through the air waves, through the internet, through the websites, through social media, if he can get it to you and form that seed in you, then you're going to work it on earth.

1:05:18That's good. You got to stop it in there. I'm going to drop the mic on. Stop it in mid air. I dropped the mic on it. Next question. Good evening. I know scripture say the very elect will be deceived in the world that's normalizing evil and making good abnormal. How do you make sure you don't fall into that deception? Can you say the first part of your question one more time? The scripture states the very elect will be deceived. Okay. So my question is in the world that is normalizing evil and making good abnormal, how do you make sure that you don't fall into that deception? I know prayer fast and then having that peace, but you know, it's the body of Christ. I know we do that, but it's elect going to be deceived. How do we protect that?

1:06:21So for me, the antidote for ignorance is education. What I mean by that is when he says rightfully dividing the word of truth, we have to take our own accountability to make sure we study, to make sure we understand what the word is saying. In others, on my own, I need to know that. I need to put myself in environments like these. I need to make sure I'm studying what it's saying. So when someone comes to me with a word that's contradistinctive to what I know, I can reject that. So in other words, they're going to come with some information. I don't know who it is. You're going to receive it, but if it doesn't line up with what I've studied, I know. Oh no, I don't receive that. The problem becomes it's easy to seduce ignorant people. And I mean ignorant as in not knowledge, not no negative connotation. So now if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for anything. And I'm not, you can't manipulate someone who has wisdom.

1:07:26You can't, but gaining wisdom is a personal accountability that every one of us in there have to do. I would tell when I was seeing you passing Jackson, I would tell you all the time, don't just listen to me. Go read what I just preached about. Go make sure I'm not an era. Make sure you go do that because at the end of the day, I can't spend 24 hours, seven days a week with you. And there's going to be so much information out there to try to deceive you. You got to make sure you know it for yourself. Let me add this and then pass it on. I'm going to give it to you. Prayer and fasting is really not, I'm sorry, fasting is really not the way. Okay, because when you fast, listen to me, when you fast, you're open and become vulnerable to spirits. If you don't know how to close that door. So here is the truth of it. It's reading his word. Absolutely. And filling your womb with his word. Absolutely. That is the way you don't become deceived. It's his word.

1:08:26It's just his word, period. It's not prayer. It's not fasting. It's his word. And once you, once you feel your spirit, your womb, your heart, your mind with his word, then it's very difficult for you to be deceived. And I just want to read that scripture because it's, oh, I lost it. Where'd you go? Well, he's looking at that scripture. Tell me if I gave you $100 bill, how would you know it was real? How would you know it was real? I will hold it up and see if I can see the words that what they see. But you will hold it up to the light. I would. Yes. To see what's on the inside of it. So you know what to do to tell something's counterfeit. Yeah. So Matthew 24, and this is important because a lot of times, and we all, I think we're all guilty of it.

1:09:27We hear scripture and we will leave out certain things. And again, we will, we will contort it to say something. This is what that scripture says for their shall arise, Matthew 24, 24, for their shall arise false Christ and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in so much that if it were possible, they should deceive the very elect. So that's a difference from saying they're going to deceive the elect. Meaning these are God's chosen that the signs will be so magnificent. They'll be so great. They'll be so crazy that if it were possible, if we were not chosen by God, if we were not called by God, we would be fooled ourselves. So to what pastor Dr. Krumpkin said, but because we are the call to card into his purpose, we cannot be deceived. How you doing?

1:10:30From a God fair and man still learning true what truth was amazing and what true understanding is, what steps and actions do I need to take into becoming a God fair and husband. And are you already married or this is like your in preparation, you desire that context is helpful. Are you already married or? I'm in a serious relationship. I would like to marry this woman. Excellent. Congratulations. Man the fact that you asked that question, you were already on the right road. We'll give you some practical things. We're going to talk about the fact that you just asked that question, brother. I celebrate the fact that you even asked the question. So practically, I think, and I don't know if that's a Potter's house badge, it looks like you got a badge of some kind, I don't know, but it's all right. I'm saying that because I think number one, you do need to surround yourself with Godly

1:11:34community. I would get around other men, other husbands that you see the fruit of their lives, the fruit of their marriages and just get up close and ask questions and watch and see because there are things you can learn from people who have gone ahead of you. That's a very practical step. And then secondly, I think it really does come down to your personal devotion because when you think about a marriage and you're going to be a husband one day, and this is a picture that my wife and I got that is literally something that we think about to this day. If you look at marriage as if it's a triangle, at the top of this triangle is the Lord. At the bottom of this triangle is her and is you. The only way you to get closer to each other is to journey up that pyramid to get to Christ because when you get to Christ, he shows you you and your relationship will only be as healthy as you are individually.

1:12:34So make our clothes, I'm sorry, but make it, and this is even just out of the spiritual side, for your health emotionally, mentally, pursue it. Pursue emotional intelligence so you can learn hers so you can learn how to speak to her and learn some things that you maybe need to unlearn because I'm telling you, if you think about it in that way, your relationship is only as healthy as you are individually, and you have a responsibility in my brother just as we as husbands and our wives do as well to make sure that we're healthy and we're doing the right things to focus and prioritize our health. I hope that's helpful. Can I put this right here? Sir, I want you to start here and then please get with the man that know how to do this. Ephesians 5, 25 says. Love your wife just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.

1:13:39Start right there. Start right there. So I didn't want to read any further. Don't go back or don't go forward. He said husband love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. If you are wanted to be married because of what you can get from her, you get married for the wrong reason. As a matter of fact, you don't even have the same job anymore once you get married. Everything now is about what you bring to the table even if she brings nothing. And one of the mistakes that married people do is they say I do on the wedding day and no more other days. I do is every day. I do sacrifice. I do. It is going to give you an analogy what she just said.

1:14:41Christ down on the cross for our sins. That's what he did for the church. You got to be willing to be sacrificed to down that cross. Not for her sins, but even for her she may treat you. And catch this. The nails didn't keep Jesus on the cross. Love did. Love will keep you on that cross because you know better days are ahead. Surround yourself with great men. When I say great, I don't mean that they're succeeding in life. Find yourself among husbands who actually like their wives. Y'all are laugh about I am bad series who actually like them and that will tell you the truth and will sing your butt home. If you go to cutting up and will hold you accountable, accountability is everything for a husband.

1:15:44Accountability is like you played a little bit of sports every now and then accountability is everything. I think that you ask those questions absolutely phenomenal. And it's a journey. Not a destination. Excellent. Excellent question. Hi, y'all. Okay. You know what? I'm sorry. Hold on a second. You seriously dating? I'm about to tell you. We do. I'm just going to say. I'm not saying you get married. I'm suggesting you come to the meeting that we'll pick up back up again and I forgot one of days on Thursday at seven o'clock and then sit in the room. What you get to do is hear from a husband's perspective whether we have people that just got married. They married 40 something years in the room because I want you to hear men talk.

1:16:45Sometimes we got to unlearn bad language that we heard growing up. So look out for that change of blood marriage and motion community group. Same for blood. Man got a womb too. And the home has to be cleaned out too. Oh, my, my, my. Oh, absolutely. We have to get to this next question. Next question. Next question. Hey, now you want to move on. Why are you saying all right? Yes, ma'am, your question. Go ahead, sister. Hey, y'all. Okay. So what do you do when the lawyer has promised you this financial freedom? You are the generation. Okay. We're talking. Okay. Hey, y'all. So what do you do when you are a generational curse breaker? You have caricature cross. You are.

1:17:45It's very heavy. The Lord has you in this worth in this season. But in the midst of it, you seek its face and you understand the curses that were once upon you have now been broken such as poverty, right? Or just a poverty mindset. But you understand that your mind is now renewed and you have your purposes laid out before you. But you want the financial stability, but your purpose is to require your entrepreneurship. But you're still in this, in this space of walking into the promise. And you're right here. You can feel it. I'm here. I can see it. I'm ready to release for the glory of God. It's something that I'm not discerning will that is causing me to not unlock, to unleash it to that financial freedom without going back into the old mindset. It takes time.

1:18:46Time. It takes time for that. You have to submit to it. You have to sacrifice some things. What if you have given up your whole life, you sacrificed, you laid down everything, you been in the process. Okay. So you said you just came into this, right? You just came into your, are you coming out or you coming in? Coming into the promise. Can I get a little bit clarity on your question? Are you asking about wealth entrepreneurship on? Yes. What do you do? How do you actually gather the promise, like the purpose that God has before you that is going to require your financial stability, but you have nothing. You know what I mean? But you don't want to go back to the nine of five, but it's like you have to.

1:19:48So can I, yeah, just, can I, let me see if I can interpret what I think you're saying. So there is, there is an entrepreneur spirit you feel like is on you. There's something that you feel like you want to do in your spirit. You don't want to go back to a traditional job and you're in this, like, just a position where I want to launch out into what I feel like I'm supposed to be doing without, and still, and reap all of the benefits of that. There's probably a little fear attached to that or something. So can I still work at nine of five and still be in alignment with my purpose? Yes. Yes. Yes. That's not giving an action. Yes, you can. Let me, so yes, hallelujah. Glory. Yes. I was trying to get a wallet. You have to go to work. No, let me, but, but, but, but, no, no, no, no, absolutely. You can do both. You, yeah, you have to do both.

1:20:49You have to. You want to eat. You have to do both. You have to do both. But, but here's the thing. Here's, here's the thing. No, no, yeah, the easy answer is yes. Like one doesn't cancel out the other. Going to work while you're working on purpose or while you're working on the plan, God is not saying, oh, where is your faith that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's that voice of the enemy that's trying to make you hungry. You know, God's promises are ye and amen. The Lord will provide for you. So yes, work that job until that thing that is in your spirit becomes so bold and so big where it pulls you away and it's undoubted. And there's a piece. There's a piece that will happen. You won't have all those questions. You won't know, because a piece will say now it's time to launch out into the deep. So in other words, I'm still, I will still be in the sea by not working. Let me help you.

1:21:49We got all these church colloquialism about promise and purpose and all. Listen, if you want to, let's have a business conversation. You have to do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do. Faith without work is dead. Yeah, faith, you got to get work, work on that job until you can work and don't just be everywhere with your purpose. Find it, find yourself in rooms with that purpose. If you want to own a company, be around people that own the company and invest in it. Sometimes we don't want to get in room. We have been, God has blessed us being in room. We have, it costs to be in the room when you want to be wealthy. It costs, most of us want it for free. Sometimes you got invested in yourself, pay $5,000 of being in the room so you can learn how to get this and what God's going to give it to me. God's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, until then go to work, though, you can work, get that job. I'm saying go to work, get that job. I'm saying go to work, get that job. Work, get that job. Go back to them and say, hey, I have ran multiple business and tell you to understand

1:22:54like we use, we brain God and the spirit of God, no, find yourself around structure, people that have businesses and learn how to do business. And I want to, I want to give this, I don't know where you sat down at, but I want to give this to you. I see, okay, Ecclesiastes 11 verse 6 says, in the morning, so your seed and in the evening do not withhold your hand, for you do not know which will prosper either this or that, whether both will be good. So because this is a, this is a question that the room probably needs, you do need to have a cash machine. We live in a world and when I say cash machine, I'm talking about something to meet your needs. Eventually, that other seed that you're sowing, make a practical the business, the service, the product, the things that you're working in the evening or when you have free time to work it, will yield a harvest. Don't give up on it if God gave you a word for it. It will return a harvest if you don't give up.

1:23:57So faint not keep working that thing and keep working that job. Because that job might give you the resources to be able to work that thing. Amen. Yes, ma'am. Firehouse in the house. Yeah, yeah. Woo. Okay. Come on, baby. Hold on. All eyes on you. Hey, y'all. Okay. So my question is, I'm a freshman. I would say another school at the beginning of the year. I just transferred on Friday to a different school. And I'm having trouble just turning the good from the evil because like, I'm confused. Like, I don't know how to explain. I'm just confused in my life right now. So really, that's just like, I'm confused. Confused. Um, I love how they let us go. I would love y'all's perspective on this too. But one thing, India, so God, he is not the author of confusion.

1:25:03So if God is not the author of confusion, what I would do and work this out in firehouse, because it takes, it takes time. It takes intentionality. You have to learn the word. That's why we do what we do in firehouse because we want you guys to learn the word, the scripture, to be able to have it. That's discipleship, right? But to discern between good and evil when you're at school, I think you need to ask yourself some questions. You know, we've talked about this before. I think there's a degree of self-awareness, right? What are the fruits of the spirit? Do you know? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. Right. So how can we look at everybody, wrap it up off? But I have this question for you, and it's one that God posed to me because I've been in your seat. How can I have self-control and allow the spirit to give me the self-control if I'm not self-aware?

1:26:07So you've got to know, okay, when I do this, it leads me down a path that produces bad things in my life. Now I'm upset, now I'm depressed, now I'm right? So you've got to pay attention to the things that give you the fruit. The fruit is the depression. The fruit is the bad friends. The fruit is the gossip. The fruit is, and I don't know what the specific struggle is, but you've got to look at the fruit. Basically, the reason why I'm having trouble, like, I would try my hardest to like discern the good from the evil, and then it'll end up bad. And it got to a point where I got so sad, I would cry every morning and every night, when I got home from school and before I went to school. Can I speak to that? How old are you? I'm 13. 14? Yes, ma'am. You're 14? Yes, ma'am. Okay, so practically speaking, from somebody that raised girls,

1:27:10you're going through a transition. So the reason I'm bringing this up, because I don't want you to feel like you're going through this alone, every girl goes through this. All right? Mendo to. Okay, thank you. I can only speak for girls. I'm going to speak to the man, Pa. Girls go through this. You're going through a transition. And the fact that you just changed schools is through you up in the air, because now you got to start all over again. You got to find new people, new friends. You don't know who likes you, who don't like you. You don't know who you have to perform for or what. So you're left in limbo, and at this age and stage of your life, you do do a lot of crime, because you don't know. You're between a child and adult. You're in the middle here, and you're trying to find out who you are.

1:28:12Right? So I'm saying all that to say, don't ever think you're doing this role. This is why young people commit suicide. It's because nobody tells them that they're not doing this alone. Your whole generation, everybody, 14, 15, coming out of those early teens, those preteens into the teens. And that's the part of you growing up. Settle yourself with that, and then put what passed the tie set in motion, but no, you're not alone in this. Everybody, your age, girls, are going through this same path. I want to say something as, yeah. I did that to be funny, but you're 14 years old. You're a young lady, you're growing. I want you to watch this. If there's anybody in this room, and you're in the season of your life,

1:29:12and you confused, stand up. Oh, listen. I want you to look around this room. And some of them that see it, you think because they're grown, they're not confused. They're still confused. Whether it's the start of a new job, working a new job, confused about what path serages preached, trying to figure out who am I, my identity. I'm moving from divorce, I'm moving from widow, I'm just getting married. You're not the only one that dealing with this. You're not the only tree in the woods. So tonight, I want to speak to everyone who is confused. Confused about what's next for you? Confused about what do you think God has for you? Confused because you thought the promises were going to come to pass but they hadn't come to pass yet.

1:30:14She's at a new school, but you're in the new season. They're ultimately the same thing. It feels like you started from the bottom of the totem pole again. Because you left one season and you were the thing. Now you walk into this news, you don't know who you can trust. You don't know who's talking about you. And if they're not talking about you, it's the enemy telling you that they are talking about you. I know I'm telling you. So we're standing all over this building. We're standing, we're standing. Pass of Doc, can I add just something to that? Just not even for my sister before anyone. Because she said something that just pricked my heart. I think we still all deal with that we will get it wrong. And just because you get it wrong, what I love about the story is Jesus got still covered Adam and Eve, though they got it wrong. Yeah, that's good. And for my sister here, for all of us men and women in the room

1:31:18who are still trying to figure out, who are still trying to discern, don't beat yourself up if you get it wrong. You have a God who will catch you before you fall. You are in his safety, you are in his arms. The enemy wants you to be tormented with your decisions. But we have a good father that we can go to that when we don't know and when we make the wrong decisions, we can still run to him and say, Father, I messed up for the 900 time. And he'll put clothes on us and he'll cover us. And he'll show us the past. So I just wanted to add that to that moment. And you may be in this room today and you made a mistake. You beat yourself up with guilt, with grief, wondering, God, did I make the right decision? Am I in the right season of my life? What am I doing? And this now ultimately becomes a real self-awareness moment.

1:32:18And you may feel like Dr. Williams just said, I made a mistake. I thought, you know, God, I wanted to know the knowledge between good and evil. But what I really didn't want to know, how do I rectify this problem? You know this, this God never condemns them? He covers them. And I want to talk to somebody today. And I want you to make your way to this altar. If you're saying, God, I'm in the season of my life, I need you to cover me. I'm not saying you live in a sinful life. I'm not saying you live in a sinful life. You're saying, God, I need you to cover me because I've got some things that's happening and I'm confused. I'm frustrated. I'm grieving. I'm agitated. I have anxiety. And right now I'm in the season of my life that I don't know what's next. Pastor or touched on it on Sunday. And it really, really blessed me together. It's borderline, suicide, whether it's depression. And this may be running rampeting your bloodline. But today requires self-awareness to what you got to be humble enough to say, God, I need you to help me navigate through this.

1:33:18And I'm talking to you online as well. You may feel this action that I need you to pray for me. I need a word. I need this. And one of the things that any of me doing, he will keep you from coming here because he's talking to your ear and he said he's not talking to you. But I really am talking to you. I'm talking to you because you hear my voice. Metaphorically, if you'd allowed me to be the Mary that walks in the room with Elizabeth, if you let my voice wake up your womb. Something that said today that absolutely has blessed us. And now you know what do you do with what you know? What do you do with all this information? So is there a coming? This is not one of those moments to where I'm telling you guys, get ready to open 17 doors for you. Well, he's getting ready to prosper you and make your way great. And I'm telling you that he's going to push you in alignment with what's next for your life.

1:34:20Well, now I got to get in alignment so I can stop drifting. I can get in alignment so I don't miss the promise. I can get in alignment because Peter gets in trouble and he says, get behind me Satan. But Jesus says that because he know he's going to use Peter later. And just because you mess up in one season I don't want to get too heavy into this prophetically. But just because you did some things in one season of your life that does not mean God can't use you in the next season of your life. You are not what you did. I'm talking about those secret sins. The one you don't want anybody to know about. You are not what you did. That is not your identity. You are who God called you to be daughter. You are the high priest. So Father, we thank you for this day.

1:35:22We thank you for covering us, for keeping us, for anointing us from the kind of our head to the soul of our feet. Father, we ask you for forgiveness. We repent for every sin. We've done not pleasing in your sight. We've done not knowingly as well as unknowingly. God help us align our identity with your purpose for our life. Everything that the enemy tries to steal from us, God help us take it back in the name of Jesus. Let us authority the rest on us, God. Let us operate in authority that you have given us that I'm beautifully and wonderfully made. That I'm the head and not the tail. I'm above and not beneath. I'm the lender and not the borrow. I am not what I did. God of every grieving spirit for everyone who's made mistakes. God in living in the guilt of the lake of that mistake. We pull them out now in the name of Jesus. God let your peace with the past is all understanding. Rest on this place. Let your glory hear the airways, God, in their home, in their cars.

1:36:24No matter how they're watching this, we pray your glory in their building where they are right now. God, we thank you for your forgiveness. We thank you for your power. We thank you for your authority. We thank you for your announcing no more we held bound till I pass. And we thank you in advance for it all belongs to us. For every confused heart. For every confused mind. We thank you for putting it in alignment. Let your glory wrestle upon us, God. Destroy the yolks of the enemy. Use our voice as a tool to continue to fight against the hand of the enemy. Now, God, thank you for blessing my bloodline. Thank you for blessing my children's children. Thank you for stirring up the gift that's in me, God. That my bloodline will be saved. My bloodline will be anointing. I come against every generational curse. I come against every witch. Every warlock that had spoken against us.

1:37:26I come against it now with the name of Jesus. Align my purpose, align my assignment with your word. And we declare that it is so. In the name of Jesus. In Jesus name we pray. Amen, amen, amen. Put your hands together. No more shone holes. Put your hands. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. One thing up. One thing up. And I receive loud enough. And it's ready. You know what? When you go home today. You are to declare over your house.

1:38:28You are to believe that no weapon that is formed against you. You are to believe that no weapon that is formed against you. Will prosper. You shouldn't declare no weapon, no weapon, no weapon, no weapon, no weapon, no weapon, Whatever you think you are going to be here. Go for fair. Be your weapon for brick heights. You want it? Do you know you're changing all the ways around health? Know that there's plastic and Gina's gun's equipment. Won't you have plastic storage, shooting, or whatever. Consort, is that going to be my sachet up here now? Just call just ONE icing puller. So here's what I want to do. Grab your tight and they still praying and that's fine. Grab your tight, they're offering. I believe tonight has been well-spinning and it's been great. Answering questions, talking about it online.

1:39:30Grab your tight, grab your offering. There's ways you can give all over your own code. You can text the gift. Tonight we're going to give sacrificially. Your tight and your offering. If you need a tight thing and offering on blow, please. Raise your hand. Someone, one of our PMTs will be about to serve you. If you need a tight thing and offering on blow, if you're ready to give, whether it's text to give, I want to make sure that we give all over the building. Yes, you keep coming, they keep praying, you keep coming, they're going to keep praying. Yes, yes, you keep coming, they keep praying. Hallelujah, you keep coming. But if you need a tight thing and offering on blow, I am believing. That the seed you sow today will bless you tomorrow. If you're online, there's ways to give. There is right there you can give. There's still praying. We're going to keep praying. The altar is going to stay open. You can come. The altar is going to keep coping. But I don't want to make sure we pray over prayer.

1:40:31Father, we thank you. Over every seed that's being given. We thank you for every seed of the soul that's being given here on this altar. God now multiplies. I'm 30, I'm 60, I'm 100 fold. We declare it to be so. And so it is. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Take your time offering. Pass it to the left to the left. One of our P and T's will be there to serve you. Pass it all the way to the left to the left. There are two major announcements. I want to make sure I give you two major announcements. The one is this. Listen, you better be here early on Sunday because it's going down. It is our Bishop's 50th anniversary. It is going down 50th anniversary 9 a.m. You need to be in the house. It's going to be absolutely epic. It's going to be insane. We're going to have ourselves a good time. Now remember, that's on the 13th. But on the 20th, on the 20th, no more services at 9 a.m. Service now starts at 10 a.m. Services at 10 a.m. That's starting September the 20th.

1:41:32Not September the 13th. On September the 20th. It is starting. We're pushing back an hour. I've told you before, if you come here at 9 o'clock, you're just going to join us for our prayer. As we get ready for 10 a.m. service, I am so excited. I'm related about what it is that God is doing in our life. I don't want to break this moment of them still being prayed for. So father, I want to pray the benediction. We thank you for what our eyes have seen, what our ears have heard. Let the seas that will soon today fall on good ground, God. That we shall see a manifested miracle harvest. And it's going to happen because we declare it's going to happen. That no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We claim prosperity and alignment and everything you call us us to do. Now God, as we leave this place, we're never your presence. So station your angels around us and keep us until we meet back again. At the appointed time in Jesus name, we pray. Amen, amen, amen, amen.

1:42:34I love you. I see you on Sunday. Thank you for joining us on the Pudders House podcast. Remember, there's always a space in the house for you. Subscribe and never miss a word.
