A Long Ways From Lodebar! - Bishop T.D. Jakes

[Music] tonight i would like to invite your prayerful consideration to the book of second samuel chapter number nine verse number 3 through 11. there you will find my assignment for this evening i have been careful these past three days not to just give you what thus say of td jakes but to lay before god to hear what the spirit is saying at this particular moment second samuel 9 3-11 it's our custom to stand for the reading of the word if you honor that tonight we will be most grateful thankful to him for his riches and his kindness to us we will begin reading the text that is already in motion the undercurrent of the text is already in tow we are midstream the massive takeover of the divine operation of the holy spirit working beyond the systems of this world to bring down one and take up another because he's god and beside him there is no other the holy spirit has weaved david into a position of influence much like grandmother would lead yarn into a particular pattern as she knit fabric together that is in the same way god orchestrates our lives bringing us from here to there and from there to here according to the tapestry of his own divine purpose and it is in the middle of a knit one pearl two that we step into this texas god orchestrates our lives according to his riches in glory and the king said is there not yet any of the house of saul that i might show the kindness of god unto him and ziva said unto the king jonathan have yet a son but he's lame on his feet the king said unto him where is he watch this close where where is the grandson of my king and the son of my best friend and zaiba said unto the king behold he is in the house of micah the son of a mile he is in loaded then king david sent and fetched him hmm [Music] he fetched him out of the house of maycare the son of a mile from lodibar keeps mentioning where he is uh where are you adam where are you god is looking for you where are the now when mephibosheth the son of jonathan the son of saul was come unto david he fell on his face and did reverence and david said mephibosheth and he answered behold thy servant and david said unto him fear not for i will surely show thee kindness for jonathan thy father's sake and will uh yeah i will restore thee all the land of saul thy father thou shall eat bread at my table every now and then just during the revival continually and he bowed himself and said what is this thy servant that thou should just look upon such a dead dog as i am [Music] then the king called the cyber saul's servant and said unto him i have given unto thy master son all that pertaineth to saul i gave it all to him everything the king had i shook out his garments i turned over his deeds i handed over his land i betrothed his paperwork i decreed his deeds of trust and all of his house goes to his grandson [Music] vow therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him work for him like he's king and thou shall bring him in the fruits that thy master son may have food to eat but mephibosheth thy master son shall eat bread always at my table now ziva had 15 sons and 20 servants then since ivan said unto the king according to all that my lord the king have commanded his servant so shall thy servant do as for mephibosheth said the king he shall eat at my table as one of the king's sons can the church say man look at your neighbor and say you've come a long ways from low to bar find somebody else and tell them a long way no you didn't say it right a long ways from loader bar spirit of the living god fall fresh on us tonight saturate us with the kind of anointing that makes preaching easy bind every foul spirit that would interrupt the atmosphere that the holy ghost has created move in the midst of your people for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever amen on your way to your seat say a long ways to look from low to bar [Applause] we are a guest in the home of one of the great patriarchs the first king that god has chosen to lead the children of israel his ascension to power has not been without contradiction and it has not been without opposition it has not been easy for david but with the determination that only comes when you know that you're walking in god's purpose he has moved through the process they tried to kill him but he moved through the process they tried to cut his head off his shoulders but he moved through the process it is important that we take time and indicate this because when we first meet him we meet him as anointed and we've been talking a lot about anointing and some assume that if you're anointed you won't be attacked i suggest to you rather than my brothers and sisters you are attacked because you are anointed satan need not waste a blow on what he already has if you are on his hit list tonight it is because you are anointed and you might not understand it at the moment because it does not yet appear what you shall be but when the enemy knows that god has a plan for your life he tries to cut it off before it comes into fruition such is the case with david he was anointed at 15 years old to be king of israel a junior high school boy anointed to be king as i have taught previously he is the eighth child of jesse he was not in the lineup of the preferred by men but he stands in a unique category as the chosen by god god has anointed him prior to appointing him the anointing comes first and the position comes later often god will anoint you for then and send you back to now imagine the contradiction of having a king's anointing while you're still a child and they're utter they're ushering you back out to get in the field and shovel sheepdog but the anointing on your head contradicts the in your hand there is a time of contradiction in being anointed you have to have patience to be anointed let patience have its perfect work in other words patience works through the anointing and if you can't let patience work you may rush the process and ruin the results around 15 years old he is anointed to be king and some would suggest around 19 or so he goes down and fights the battle that brings him into a place of providence you will notice what i said it was the battle not the anointing but the battle that positioned him so that he would be noticed some of the things that you're praying that god would take away god is using those things so that you can be noticed goliath was the tool god used to bring david from obscurity to notoriety some of you had you not been afflicted nobody would have paid you no attention but because of the adversity you faced god shined a light on you and maneuvered you into a posture that you would be eligible for a kingdom that you weren't trained for or qualified for or chosen for but when trouble got through [Applause] god used you in such a way that people had to pay you some attention and there he comes to the forefront because of goliath i have come to learn that at every portal of destiny there is always a giant in front of it i am so sure of it that now when i see the giant i shout about the portal because if god didn't have something for me on the other side of it satan wouldn't have placed an assassin there to stop me from breaking into the next dimension and now i know that i'm getting close by the level of pain like a pregnant woman about to have a baby the faster the pain the quicker the baby comes so if you've had a painful year and you've been up under attack it's only because you're closer now than you've ever been in your life your water is about to break the gates are about to open and you're about to step into your kingdom and you know you're there because look at how big that thing is that's standing in your way [Applause] david is indeed anointed but it will be years before the prophecy is realized he will be anointed three times as prophet priest and king because he is a shadow of jesus who is prophet priest and king so samuel has anointed him and then years later at the age of 30 he will be anointed as the king of judah and then finally as the king of israel but between all of those anointings there will be wars and fights and conflicts and tests and trials and there will be moments he has to run for his life and duck because they're throwing rocks trying to kill him i'm trying to help you recognize what greatness looks like because satan has put out a lot of false advertisement that makes you think you just nod your head and wiggle your nose and you step into divine purpose but when it's really god you go through a whole lot of stuff that you're sometimes up and sometimes down and sometimes level to the ground and every so often you gotta die because you are [Applause] and i do not want you to make this mistake just because i started in the middle of the story and you come into the palatial environment of the blessings of the lord and you behold the granite columns and the marble floors and the servants running to and fro and david is covered with goods and decked out in jewels that has great authority and has power and is revered and respected that his life is full of that no you came in toward the end of the movie you should go back a few chapters and see how he had to dwell in caves and feign himself to be a mad man and duck the javelins of sharks all before he comes to a place that he's finally got strong enough to bless somebody else do you know what i'm talking about sometimes you can't bless people not because it's not in your heart to bless him but you haven't got far enough away from your own devils to help somebody else with theirs but as soon as you get loose from your own tribal if you really belong to god you ought to look back for somebody and say who else can i bless [Applause] who else can i help who else can i raise and so david like god has started searching for the lost son [Laughter] the lost son of his covenant brother jonathan there's only one son left and he has to ask saul's servant zeiber if there's anybody left in the family because they were killing saul's children one right after the other was dead and had mephibosheth not been crippled he probably would have been killed too it was good for me [Applause] i'm gonna say it again the thing i cried about the thing i was embarrassed about the thing i was ashamed of the thing that i needed counseling about it was good for me i'm glad you didn't raise me i'm glad you didn't help me i'm glad you didn't marry me it was good for me that i was afflicted that's how god hid me [Applause] they killed saul's sons they killed jonathan they even killed the sons that were born by concubines and had risper standing on the rock waving the buzzards away to anything that was remotely related to saul but mephibosheth was still alive i want somebody who's been through real hell to say i'm still here i'm still here i know you heard i was dead baby but i'm still here i know they got rumors out to say i got shot but i'm still here i know if some of you wish i was dead but i am still can i get a witness in this place right now [Applause] but the truth of the matter is david is living in the house that should rightfully be mephibosheth where is mephibosheth oh there's one child left his name is mephibosheth and he is in the house of a mile and he lives in loadable loader bar means no communication it is the place where you just shut up it is the story you can't tell it is the book you can't write it is the testimony you cannot give it is the thing that when you think about it you just shake your ear my famous chef lives in a perpetual state of silence lodibar means no communication it also means no pastors so this is not the promised land filled with luscious grapes and filled with all of the vegetation that the children of israel were promised no this is a place where no grass grows and no sheep graze and there is no life and as bad as david's early days were loaded bar was worse there was no bang of the sheep in lotabar there was no economy in lotabar there was no notoriety in lotabar there was no commerce in lotabar in fact lodibar was considered a ghetto in the bible days what we would call a ghetto it was the place that mephibosheth had to go now look at the oxymoron the contradiction the atrocity the audacity that the king's grandchild is living in a hut in a shack in a shanty in a ghetto in a small town and nobody is hearing anything from him and he should be living in the palace but due to circumstances beyond his control the best he could do was move over into loader bar and shut his mouth sometimes all you can do is move over into loader bar and shut your mouth maybe you're quiet because you know that they would kill you too maybe you're quiet because you're so disappointed that you have been born with such advantage and had so much hardship that you've come down to this you know when people meet you at one stage in your life they have a tendency to judge you and often they'll say you're trifling or that you're stupid or that you have no ambition or you have no goals or you're crazy or you're silly or you're a whiner or you complain all the time we got a lot of names for people but you don't understand what drove him [Applause] i would have gotten my degree but you don't know what drove me to load about i could have been a business owner but you don't know what drove me to load the bar i would have been a ceo but you don't know what drove me to loan a bar i should have been the next president of the united states but you don't know what drove me to load about you don't just go to loader bar to go sightseeing you go to load a bar when you've got nowhere else to go and you're trying to make the best out of a bad situation you don't see no king's child living in london bar but here he is the grandson of the big tall striking good-looking saul and his handsome gorgeous son jonathan and he looks like neither one because something happened to him and he does not look like the rest of the family he doesn't look like the rest of the family because he doesn't look like the rest of the family there's always a because there's always a why and what drives me crazy about the society that we live in when we talk about people we always talk about what they did but we never asked why they did it and you really can't help people until you move past the what and get down to the why i wasn't always an angry woman i wasn't always a bitter woman i wasn't always an angry man i wasn't always a weak person i wasn't always an unstable person i wasn't always the person that like confidence in myself but something happened you don't get in this time to trouble by yourself [Applause] if you will read back a few chapters you will find that at the same time that his grandfather was killed and his son was being killed that the nurse who was caring for him in her terror snatched up a five-year-old child and in her haste to try to get away she got away but she dropped him now all of us who have raised several children know what it is to drop a baby oh my god your heart almost stops beating you panic you have your nervous you grab the baby and you start counting fingers and toes and you're looking all over and you're talking about this all right mama gotcha it's okay it's okay it's okay but you're not really sure it's okay and you're trying to make sure it's really okay and you're thinking what kind of fool am i that i fooled around and dropped this baby oh my god what am i gonna do with this baby's hurt and you're trying to look in their eyes and you don't want to go to sleep and you're afraid they had a concussion and you're trying to check on them and your heart is racing your mind is confused because you dropped the baby [Applause] somebody dropped the prince of israel somebody dropped the potential of soul somebody dropped the dream of jonathan somebody dropped the baby and he was not okay his feet were shattered his ankles were dislodged his bones were disjointed and i don't mean temporarily but permanently disfigured i can deal with a temporary problem i can put braces on and make it through i can deal with a temporary enemy a temporary affliction a temporary fever a temporary crisis a temporary setback a temporary loss of job a temporary loss of stability i can deal with a temporary problem but what it is when you go through something that irrevocably and eternally and forever changes your life for the rest of your life and you have to deal with the fact that you will never be who you could have been and it wasn't even the luxury of your own mistake you are in the mess that you are in not because you ordered it not because you asked for it not because you sought after it not because you wish for it but you are in the mess that you're in because somebody you were laying on and somebody you were trusting in and somebody you thought was your friend and somebody you thought had your back they just dropped you and i'm wondering if there's anybody in this room that understands what i'm talking about that some of the problems you got are not your problems they're the problems of your childhood that happen before you could help it and somebody who should have held you dropped you and you are dealing with the sad memories of a lost opportunity and who you are now as an adult is a direct result of what happened to you when you were a child because somebody dropped you now i'm going in deep and i know it makes you a little bit uncomfortable because we don't like to talk about it and some of us can't tell about it and that's why we need therapy and some of us won't even go to therapy and we blame ourselves and we hate ourselves and we hate those who try to think highly of us because we are stuck where we got dropped i work with people who have been abused with sexually abused and sexually assaulted and generally their body continues to mature but their emotions stay at the age they were when somebody dropped them they left them with their uncle overnight they left them with the kids the stepfather overnight they left them and the boyfriend got drunk and creeped into their room and one night and all of a sudden somebody dropped them and taught a little girl some a little girl's not even supposed to know and exposed a little boy to something that a little boy wasn't supposed to know or somebody i ran into a young man the other day when i first started pastoring they came to the church and the mother brought him into my office when we were in the whole building and she stripped him of his clothes i thought she was crazy but she said i want you to see and all of his back had lash marks on it where his father had beat him with a bicycle chain until his insides were hanging out and his skin had died backwards on his body because somebody dropped him is there anybody that can be real with me this this service is there anybody that can be real with me in church that's what bothers me about church because you got to be phony and act like you've never been through nothing and i like nothing ever happened to you and you got to wear big hats and be cute and put your finger up when you walk out and if it's a hospital i gotta be able to show you my wounds and show you my h and show you my legs weren't going like this i wasn't meant to be like this but i i'm doing the best i can because somebody who barely dropped me i was resting in the arms of a caretaker who simply dropped me the first boyfriend dropped me an early teacher dropped me something happened in my life and dropped me my first marriage broke up and it dropped me and i'm having trouble getting confidence i'm having trouble getting self-esteem and i'm still angry and the marriage has been over for 20 years and i'm still mad about it because somebody dropped me i was resting i had no idea that they would drop me and they dropped me and here is what's left of my dream here is what's left of my goal and my ambition and here's what's left of where i was going i was going to the palace that david is now living in but i had to make a u-turn and go to loader bar what is mephibosheth doing in lonabar anyway a ghetto the king's grandchild is living in a ghetto he had cousins he had uncles he had relatives he had aunties but nobody wanted a crippled child and so he went where people go when they get tired of dealing with your kind of craze there are some people in this room that have gone to the place where people go when they get tired of dealing with your kind of crazy they get tired of dealing with your addiction they get tired of dealing with your alcoholism they get tired of their instability they get tired of you telling lies because people have mercy on you when you're a broken child but when you're a broken man they get met the same people who would give 20 a month to help broken children wouldn't give 10 cents to a broken man not knowing that the broken man has a broken child down inside of you ain't gonna talk to me today but i'm gonna keep on going the same people that would have snatched up the little girl said oh baby you're so cute now that she's grown into a woman she can find no compassion because people drop you like you've already been dropped when there's something wrong with you because all they can do is talk about what you did and nobody wants to dig down into your history and see why you did what you did i wish i had a witness in here i wish i had an ex-inmate in here i wish i had an ex-junkie in here i wish i had a former alcoholic in here i wish i had somebody who'd been married three times or four times in here i wish i had somebody who wasn't worried about what these church people think they could be real for a minute and tell them i'm not crippled because i want to be i'm crippled because i have to be you don't know where i came from and you don't know what i've been through i was resting in the arms of a fool and somebody had oh my god [Applause] somebody dropped me and they dropped my future and they dropped my dreams and they dropped my degree and they dropped my courage and they dropped my fight and i moved in the loader bar because nobody offered me any other option and now i'm a king's kid living in a ghetto i'm living in a place where no sheep will graze and no grass will grow i'm living in the barrenness of my own despair i'm making the best of a bad situation and everybody has forgotten me they fought wars they built buildings they've laid out carpet they built up temples they've erected monuments they've subdued kingdoms but not one person has remembered that they have a relative a blood relative in ludabar i don't care what you say everybody in here has got somebody in your family if it ain't you it's somebody in your family that's been stuck down in a loader bar in a load about a situation making the best of a bad situation and some of you never got the love you should have got or the touch you should have got or the care you should have got and you're a grown woman and it still hurts when you think about it because somebody dropped you and you wonder what was wrong with me that you didn't love me and what was wrong with me that you never hugged me and what was wrong with me that you never told me i was beautiful and what was wrong with me that you never took me anywhere and what was wrong with me that you made me doubt myself and i'm grown now but my ankles are still twisted and i tried to overcome it but i shut my mouth come every time i tried to scream i got slapped in my mouth because our parents said you ought to be seen and not heard and i moved in the loader bar have you ever had to move in the load of ah because the people around you demanded that you shut your mouth and you can't tell your story and you're like a fish dying in a fish tank you can't scream you can't yell you're just bald to death in a fish tank that overheats cause nobody [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a place where people move when they cannot scream [Applause] there are women in here being beaten by their husbands [Applause] there are men in here being beaten by their wives because he's a deacon because he's an elder because he's a school teacher because he's a mayor cause he's running for office and you're running around and your eyes are black and your lip is busted and you're trying to give your little girl courage but her mama is a little girl and mama [Applause] mama can't scream i would run if i could but my legs are broken i would leave him if i could but my legs are lame i would get a better job but my legs are lame i would get out of the situation but my legs are lame and now my children are mad at me because i didn't get away but i couldn't scream because i live in love and those that could help me forgot me and those who were suspicious of what was happening looked the other way and i learned to shut my mouth because every time i tried to open my mouth they didn't believe me no way and every time i tried to talk they rolled their eyes and said shut up girl and i have developed i have developed a coping mechanism of silence i shout but i don't talk [Applause] i dance but i don't talk i run up and down now but i don't talk i give sign language to god if i couldn't say [Music] if i couldn't say a word [Laughter] if i couldn't say a word every time i think about it i i want to talk to people who can't talk i want to reach people who can't reach i want to run the people who can't run i want to touch people who can't touch i want to talk to people who have given up on what you could have been and what you should have been and you're living in load about and you can't get out and it wasn't even your fault and you didn't pick it and you didn't ask for it and you don't like it and you don't want it and you have to live with people sneering at you and talking about you need ambition and this is america anything can happen in america and that's what's wrong anything happened in america can i get a witness if you can't say a word make a noise make a grunt your hands holler shout scream cry crawl i want to talk about how did you get down ah there's a king's kid land and lord about i wish i had time to preach this like i feel it he's in lord of mine he's in a place where grass doesn't grow he's in a place where sheep don't graze he's in a place where oxen avoid he's in a place where there's no economy he's in a place where you can't get a job he's in the ghetto while the rest of the world is passing by and it wouldn't be so bad to be in the ghetto if he was supposed to be in the ghetto but he was supposed to be in the palace and he landed in the ghetto i want to talk to some people who were supposed to have better but you landed in a situation and you were supposed to be free but you landed up now and you were supposed to get a degree and you ended up with a ged and you were supposed to be a conqueror and you ended up a failure and you were supposed to have a family and you ended up by yourself and you were supposed to have children but you got none at all and you were supposed to have your own house but you stand in a garage i want to talk to somebody [Applause] my favorite chef was it loaded bar and the only person who even seemed to remember him was ziva saul's servant and david said he's somewhere down in load of our go and fetch him out that word fetch is that word fetch that gets me is that word fresh that gets me see it's natural to carry a child it's natural to hold a child in your arms but it's not natural to have to carry a grown man and some of you are grown men and you still got to be carried some of your grown men and you can't work a job some of you are grown men and you can't pay a bill some of you are grown men and you can't be counted on some of your grown men and you can't be trusted some of your grown men that if you get out somebody's gonna have to carry you because somebody dropped you back then you can't stand on your own two feet and some of you are raising grown men that are still staying in your house eating up your food leaving the milk carton on the refrigerator and they got to be fetched out and you're wondering how will i have to carry oh i know you can't say nothing but i'm going to say it for you what i have to carry [Music] [Applause] go fetch me filler chef fetches my grandmama sweater go fetch that buttermilk out the refrigerator go fetch that butter in the freezer i got five pounds of butter in the freezer go fetch it who fetches my grandmother's word she never told me to fetch something that could walk you don't use fetch when you're going after something that can walk you only use the term fetch when you're sent out to something that can't walk go fetch not a child not a baby not an infant but by now he's a grown man and now it's a problem it's natural to carry a child but it's not natural to carry a grown man it feels funny to care of grown men men ought to be uncomfortable when another man starts carrying you the way he's got to grab you feels a little weird to have to be carried by a grown man but when you can't walk you can't walk and somebody's got to do some unnatural stuff to snatch you out go fast mephibosheth phantom fetch it that means get him out by all means necessary that means whatever you got to do you got to do that means god wants you out of load of all so bad that even if you have to be uncomfortable even if you have to drop your pride even if you have to get rid of your ego even if you have to humble yourself i gotta get out of there another three people say i gotta get out i gotta get out i gotta get out i gotta get out i gotta get out i gotta get out it looks funny but i gotta get out it looks weird but i gotta get out anyway you bless me lord i'll be satisfied i got to get out alone but i cannot die in this place of death i cannot die in this place of silence i refuse to shut my mouth another day i want somebody who understands what i'm talking about to open your mouth and holla holla holla holla i gotta get out of the lawn about if i got a holla if i gotta scream if i gotta yell [Applause] i gotta make it out a little back and i'm not gonna shut up i'm gonna scream i'm gonna scream every time you scream demons tremble every time you scream hell gets nervous every time you scream witches get upset every time you scream you let hell know i'm still alive every time you scream you get closer to a breakthrough every time you scream you get closer to deliver i know the devil wants you to shut your mouth but the devil is alive open your mouth and scream open your mouth and holler open your mouth and yell as an act of desire open your mouth and holla [Applause] my feet might not work but my mouth does and i'm gonna open my mouth and scream i refuse to lay here and die the bible says the power of life and death is in the tongue and the first thing the enemy will try to do is shut you up so he could kill you as long as jesus was talking on the cross he couldn't die it was only when he shut his mouth that death began to come in and when the enemy is trying to get you to die the first thing he tries to get you to do is stop talking and for all of you to get mad and clam up and get in the car and drive and don't say nothing tonight is your night of liberation you're going to get your voice back you're going to get your roar back you're going to get your fight back open your mouth and holler i break your salad i break your silence and break your silences [Laughter] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah there's therapy there's a breakthrough in here there's a breakthrough in here make some noise in here holly in here put up a fuss put up a fuss put up a fight make some noise let hell know you ain't dead let the devil know you ain't gonna stay here let the hell know i'm coming out a load about every time you yell you're coming out a load about i can't hear you [Applause] cool i feel a breakthrough coming here i feel chains breaking i feel handcuffs coming off i feel prison doors open up cause you dare to open your mouth the devil is defying you to open your mouth he wants you to sit there with your lips glued together but the devil is alive every time you holler a chain ball every time the bible says shout and the walls fall shout and the walls fall shout and the walls fall shout and the walls fall shout and the walls fall shout at the wall shout and the walls shout at the wall shallow [Applause] and soul and soul and soul and soul and soul and soul and soul and so and so when i read the test i asked god wasn't there another way to get mephibosheth out of loader bar than to make him climb in the arms of zebra especially when it was being in somebody's arms have you ever had to trust what let you down before can you imagine the courage that it took for mephibosheth to believe in somebody holding him again after he had been dropped before now god says the only way out is to trust what gave way the first time some of you the trying of your faith i feel like preaching now the trying of your faith is to believe god that something is going to work that fail you the first time and it's traumatic and it makes you nervous because god is sending you back to the front line god is sending you back to the place of your defeat god is saying show me where you laid him down go back to the spot where you gave up and this time we gonna finish the trip i heard the holy ghost say that whatever broke the first time is gonna hold up the second time lean on somebody and say we gotta get out of this if i gotta lean on you if i gotta lay on you if i gotta crawl out if i gotta cry i gotta get out alone about look at somebody holler i'm leaving it might not be cute but i'm leaving it might not be masculine but i'm leaving it may not have finessed but i'm leaving i may be scared but i'm leaving i may be uncomfortable but i'm leaving god is calling me to trust what broke down last time oh y'all ain't hearing me preaching cause i know i'm preaching better than your child god is calling me to trust what gave way last time how can you put me in the arms of somebody again when the last time i laid in somebody's arms they dropped me and that's why i will never love again and that's why i will never give all of myself again and that's why i will never open myself up again because the most frightening thing to do is to relax on what failed before [Applause] the most frightening thing to do is to relax on what failed before but that's what faith is all about is to relax on what failed before and so we see oh crippled mephibosheth laying back putting his weight on somebody else you know when people have disappointed you it's hard to trust again come on with me come on come on come on when people have disappointed you it's hard to believe in them again when people have disappointed you it's hard to be vulnerable again when the last one dropped you you don't want number two when the first one dropped you you don't want number three when

the night you change your mail change your phone number change your address change your walk change your talk you're about to step into something that eyes have not seen ears have not heard but god has command god has prepared you about to step into it somebody take a step you gonna step right into something fresh step into something's gonna blow your mind step into a brand new door step into a brand new attitude stepping through a brand new place your eyes have not seen your ears have not heard god is about to bring you into something he's given you an anointing to move [Applause] so they brought my finisher i got a hair they brought my finished chef into the palace into the house [Applause] that david had that should have been his and when mephibosheth came into good because he was used to bad he called himself a dead dog because sometimes you can get out a load about quicker than you can get loaded by out of you and when god gives you an opportunity for something better you don't know how to receive it because you're so used to the ghetto of life that when god brings you into a blessing if you're not careful you're self-sabotaged because you want to go back to the familiar but the devil is alive i haven't been preaching all week for you to go back to where you came from god said get out get out of load of my get out get out get out tonight get out get out get out tonight [Applause] and listen at this david told my physician mephibosheth didn't even ask for it david tone mephibosheth everything you see [Music] somebody look around right quick god said everything you see every place your feet draw everything you stand on everything you believe me for oh i feel like preaching now somebody better grab my cocktail god said he's about to do a switcheroo he's about to change a deed of trust he's about to open a brand new door he's about to make a way out of the way god said i give it to you you don't understand not just for a weekend but for the rest of your life [Applause] can i tell you one more thing god gave him the house god gave him the property god gave him the land god gave him the use of the servants and said he'd never have to work for it another day in his life who am i preaching to the lord said when i get through making this thing right i'm gonna make them pay you back for everything they stole everything they took from you everything they ripped you off for for every night you cried and load about i heard the holy ghost say i am about to give it to you you are to praise him like you just got the deed you ought to praise him like he's talking to you you ought to praise him like you just stepped in you ought to praise him like it's yours like it's yours walk around like a boss walk around like a boss walk around like it's yours walk around like you just got the key [Music] [Applause] now the crazy thing about the texas is that god blessed him but he never healed him [Applause] [Music] they're here sitting at the king's table with crippled all over his body his ankles are turned in and he can't walk but david said as long as you live bring that table as long as you live i prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies i've anointed your head with all and your cup's gonna run over if i'm talking to you open your mouth and then [Applause] god said i'm preparing a table i'm preparing a job i'm preparing a door i'm preparing a blessing i'm preparing a way i'm preparing a miracle i'm preparing deliverance i'm preparing a breakthrough i'm preparing i'm preparing in spite of your brokenness in spite of your fear in spite of your doubt in spite of your trouble i'm gonna bring you to a place where you can pull up a chair and sit down and trust me to meet all your needs according to his riches in glory somebody help me shout in this place [Applause] this is not a sermon this is not a revival message this is a prophetic word in spite of your broken ankles in spite of your swollen feet god's gonna let you sit down in a place of blessings and send other people to bring the blessing to you whoever i'm preaching too get ready for a miracle get ready for a breakthrough it's yours if you take it tonight i can't hear you praise him god [Applause] so i wanted you to see something [Music] that david said that mephibosheth will sit at my table with my son with beautiful absalon with ammon with all of my sons and all of their attractiveness and he's going to look just like the rest of them even though he's lame in his feet the reason i put my tablecloth over the table is because god said my grace is sufficient i got you covered nobody's gonna ever know that you've been through what you've been through cause i am about to set you in a place [Applause] and he's going to cover you [Applause] and you see from the waist up david was whole but from the waist down david was crippled but as long as he sits at the table god said he's going to sit you in heavenly places and you're not going to look like what you've been through that god's grace is gonna so cover you he's gonna give you houses you didn't build he's gonna give you a vignette she didn't grow and he's about to set you at the table with great men and the lord said that when you dance as the bible said you're gonna dance on broken bones now there's a lot of folks in here dancing because they got a whole lot of stuff going for them but i want to talk to somebody who's been hurt and broken and busted and disgusted and yet you got a praise for the next three minutes the holy ghost said dance on your broken bones dance over top of your debt dance over top of your trouble dance over top of your fear dance over top of your pain the devil don't like it the devil like the devil liking what's she doing praising god what's he doing praising god after all they've been through but the devil is alive greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world dance dance [Music] [Music] [Music] now i know i gotta go and i know i gotta quit but i come from the old school where we used to have testimony service and i just got a few minutes left but run over to somebody and tell them i came a long ways from loadable i've come a long way from a load of aha you wouldn't believe what i came through to get where i am to god be the glory to god be the glory to god come along come a long way come all i come [Music] [Music] give him a price right [Music] i come i come i come i come a long ways i come a long ways i've come a long ways man i've come a long way you wouldn't believe what i've been through you wouldn't believe how bad i hurt you wouldn't believe how twisted i was but when the devil tried to leave me low down and loaded my heart and said you ain't never gonna be nothing you ain't never gonna be nobody and he tried to curse me with a curse the devil was a liar look at me now standing in the blessings of god i come a long way [Music] from and i'm not acting [Music] like my ankles are healed i'm just telling you that his grace is sufficient and that if you make up your mind you're gonna make it you can make it through anything and if i had a witness it would set it off tonight is there anybody in here that knows how to dance on broken bones [Applause] you've come too far to go back [Applause] you've come too far to give in you come too father let somebody talk you back down into the same hole you came out of and tell you shut your mouth and don't say nothing i almost say something if i don't do nothing but holla i'm gonna say something [Applause] i'm gonna say something and so the post office had to change his address [Applause] his zip code had to change he had to forward all his mail because he moved out of lotabar into the palace to sit at a table that was prepared for him you're watching over the internet catch this right now there's something that god has prepared for you while you were suffering in your loader bar and he's waiting on you to receive what he has prepared for you you're about to step into something that you didn't have to work for and you didn't have to lay before all you had to do was survive for it i'm talking to survivors tonight are there any survivors in this building tonight [Music] for some of you it is going to be a literal transference of deed [Applause] [Music] a conveyance of property [Applause] somebody you've had something tied up it's getting ready to break loose [Applause] and because it's been tied up you've been in a jam for a long time but tonight is your night of liberation tonight is the night you declare your independence tonight is the night that things shift for you tonight is the night that god turns things around for you this is operation restoration and the text said that david restored all to mephibosheth throw your hands up and get ready for restoration i dare you to believe it [Applause] i know you've lost a lot of stuff all of it's not tangible all of it is not computable some of his courage some of his self-esteem some of his tenacity but god is getting ready to restore everything the enemy stole from you the spirit of restoration is to close this revival hallelujah to god and everything that's been tied up is what the devil's been fighting you for but woman thou art loosed you are loose right now in the name of jesus never lose that man and let him go you're about to step into an entire brand new dimension that god has prepared for you and the holy ghost said stop saying you're a dead dog you're not a dead dog you might have slept with dead dogs you might have hung around dead dogs you might have partied with dead dogs but you're the child of a lion and a lion can't have a dead dog so you are not a dead dog even though you hung around them you're dressed like them and you smell like them you're not one of them you are a lion and i want you to roar like the lion you are [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] yes get your roar back get your roar back get your lion language get your lion attitude get your lion disposition because you are not a dead dog it is not over your story will not end in loader bar the devil is a lie you will not die in load of all you're coming out of it right now in the name of jesus i'm going to pray while the anointing is high every head bowed every eye close in just a moment i'm going to ask a hundred people to join me in sowing a thousand dollar seed into this moment into this morning into this moment there is a transition occurring right now and you sense it in your spirit as i sense it in my spirit that we're getting ready to step into new territory and yes it's scary and it's a little bit nerve-wracking because we're not used to it because we're used to load a bar but god is fetching us into a palace and we're not dressed for it and we're not ready for it and we don't have the right wardrobe and we don't have the right relationships but god is fetching us into a whole nother perspective and i want to pray for you because i know what it is to step into a palace that you're scared of and i know what it is to step into a palace that puts you in a position where you almost retreat back to the ghetto just because it's familiar to you but god is calling you out of loader bar and you cannot mess this up this is supposed to happen you cannot shrink back and lay on the floor like mephibosheth tried to do god said i want you to take your seat at the table because i'm going to set you at the table [Music] and if you're one of those people that you can give on that level in just a moment i'm going to give you an opportunity to join me in sewing a thousand dollar seed on that level because i know that god has a table prepared for me that's bigger than where i came from that's better than what i've been through and i know that god's gonna let me sit there on broken feet so that i will always know it was him that brought me there and not them that brought me there to god be the glory for the things he's done i know everybody can't give on that level but in a moment i'm going to give you an opportunity to give on whatever level you can give but the holy ghost said for me to give a thousand dollars and there's at least a hundred of you that can and if you can you need to be one of them but let me pray for you first because this is the most important part you would think the hardest part of getting low to bar out is fetching the body but the hardest part of getting out of low to bar is changing your mind to get you to the point that you can sit at the table and feel like i belong here [Music] i'm supposed to be here after you've been rejected and after you've been abandoned and after you've been ostracized when better comes it's scary it's all right to shout about and then dance about it but when it really comes face to face to you it don't feel like you because you don't really know who you are because all you've ever been is who you had to be because of what happened to you but you are not what happened to you you are better than what happened to you you are bigger than what happened to you and the lord scheduled this meeting i didn't schedule this meeting if i would have scheduled this meeting i would have planned it out months in advance and our staff would have had all kind of time to get ready they had less than 10 days to get ready for this revival and yet it's been one of the most anointed powerful supernatural holy ghost spiritual experiences that we've ever had in the history of this church there are pastors your entire ministry is about to be mesmerizing it's going to be changed it's going to be transformative there are businesses in the midst of all of this chaos god is going to cause you to flourish in a way that you're not prepared for and your biggest problem is going to be able to have enough room to receive what god is getting ready to release in your life and a transfer is coming and the tail is going to become the head and the head is going to become the tail and you're leaving loaded by and you ain't never coming back you ain't never coming back you ain't never coming back [Applause] and the lord said this is not just for you this is for your children and your children's children there's going to be a paradigm shift that breaks generational curses and brings you into generational blessings and god's god's gonna kick it off with you but it's gonna continue after you [Applause] let me pray for you don't let anything stop these people from stepping into their destiny and into their purpose don't let anybody pull them back in the loader bar where no grass grows and no sheep's graze and no oxen bring in the harvest there is nothing living in load for them fetch them out in the books they read and the people they meet in the way they think and what they're exposed to fetch them out fetch them out until the old friends don't like them and they talk about them and say they're acting funny fetch them out until people roll their eyes and say you think you're something and you think you're too big and you think this and you they fetch them out fetch them fetch them fetch them until they never fit back in loadable again i know you ordered this meeting i didn't order this meeting i didn't plan this meeting this meeting wasn't convenient it didn't fit my schedule it didn't fit my circumstances and i could tell by the demonic warfare i had to fight to do this meeting that this is that the shots are that this is a supernatural meeting and something divine is supposed to happen in this place and hell is mad about it but in the name of jesus i decree and declare that thousands of people are going to find a new seat to sit in a new place to stand in a new place to occupy a new business to transform them a new ministry gift they never had before and i can tell because of the giant you sent against me i can tell because of the fight you put up in front of me that this is the lord's doings and it's marvelous in our eyes now let faith go out over the airways let it go over cyberspace let it go through the pews let it get in the balcony look at it get in the music department let it get wherever anybody will receive it that they will activate on this moment and i declare there will be harvest in the name of jesus we pray now everybody that can't do nothing else but praise and give him a praise and everybody who can sow so everybody who can plan plan everybody who can give give everybody who can sow so everybody plan plan everybody give give if
