Above See Level | Pastor John Gray

[Music] second Kings chapter six I'm gonna try to preach it but I'm emotional so y'all forgive me now the king of Syria was making war against Israel and he consulted with his servants saying my camp will be in such in such a place and the man of God sent to the king of Israel saying beware that you do not pass this place for the Syrians are coming down there then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him thus he warned him and he was watchful there not just once or twice therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing and he called his servants and said to them will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel and one of his servants said none my lord o king but Elisha the prophet who was in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroll so he said go and see where he is that I may send him getting I'm gonna cut off the prophet and it was told him saying surely he is in Dothan everybody say Dothan therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there and they came by night and surrounded the city and when the servants of the man of God arose early and went out there was an army surrounding the city with horses and chariots and his servant said to him alas my master what shall we do so he answered do not fear for those who are with us are more than those who are with them [Applause] [Music] do not fear for those who are with us are far more than those who are with them and he likes you prayed and said lord I pray open his eyes that he may see then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha the season is upon you that you cannot look with your natural eyes anymore it's time for you to stop basing your decisions and the movements of your life based on the settings circumstances and conditions that you are able to observe with your natural ocular sockets the sensory perception of your eyes gives you a fear inside that is not rooted in the truth of the entirety of the situation your eyes are showing you but they are also lying to you it's time for you to see beyond what you see and it is time for you to prepare yourself to the reality of the spiritual warfare and the nature of the army that is backing you you are not alone you've never been alone and the enemy wanted you to think you were alone which is why you've been battling depression thoughts of suicide thoughts of giving up is God real is church real is offering real is this just another game is this a multi-level marketing scheme is this a get-rich-quick what is this and how come my prayers aren't answered and why do I seem to be going through more hell than all these other people that aren't even seeking God and why am I going through it and they're not going through it and I know they live in and they look like they doing good why am i struggling why don't my prayers get answered and it's time for you to understand that all you see is not all there is and the title of my message is what I want you to start living like and it's time for you to begin to have vision above sea level [Music] above sea level if you are here today watching online I would imagine that you were here by assignment and not by chance and I'm here to make some prophetic declarations Seki Kings there's a prophet with a double portion his name is Elijah Elijah earned his double portion he earned his double portion by serving whoa I need you to catch this everybody wants platforms nobody wants to serve everybody wants a microphone nobody wants to serve you want some anointing serve you want you want to be able to cast out Devils serves you want to be able to speak the storms and watch them dissipate serve there is a necessity in the kingdom of God that we understand the art of serving I'm not here because I'm the best preacher or whatever I'm here because I served other visions and I served them with excellence with commitment with integrity I never coveted any church that I served I never coveted the senior position I only served it and if you are faithful in another man's God will give you your own I feel a breakthrough right there that's for the business owners that clocked in on time and stayed late at other people's job God's gonna remember that when it's your turn when it's your multi-million dollar business in 2019 when God opens up the opportunity for your business to be breathed on in 2019 nobody caught that 2019 is your year 2018 wasn't your year for the breakthrough 28 was your year for sewing for digging for addressing some areas of your life 2019 is the year where it all comes together 2019 Elijah was a real prophet he wasn't a TV prophet he wasn't about one prayer cloth get one prayer cloth free kind of profit he was a real prophet the Bible says the king of Syria was waging war against Israel and he was like this is what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go down there and I'm gonna get down there I'm gonna get my people around there such as such a time that's what the scripture says everybody say such-and-such stay away from such-and-such people now I'm really I have nothing to say it's always such as such there's always something but it's never substance it's always anyway he said my camp will be in such a such a place and then the next scripture says that the Prophet would send a servant to the king of Israel and say hey King don't go down there because the enemy's gonna be down there waiting on you and so it got so bad that the king of Syria was like he called all of his inner court he was like which one of y'all works for the king of Israel and one of his servants was like none of us is it's a prophet and here's what you need to know you're not fighting and looking for Kings you're looking for a prophet and for too long we've been trying to figure out how God's gonna move how God's going to give strategy because in this season this is not a season of moving based on what you feel or based on what you see because your feelings are liars and so is your limited sight lines you've got to move based on the Word of God over your life which means you must identify voices who hear from God for you now if you are too big to have somebody over you who speaks over your life who has charge over your soul then you know you live your life but for me I need somebody that sees what I can't see I need somebody who can say that's not God that's not your door that's not show opportunity because in this season the enemy's hoping you move on what looks good do you know how many people miss destiny because they went after what looked good talk to me David she looked good from the roof not knowing at the moment he took her in war would never leave his house God had been with she looked good but he had stopped listening to the Prophet you better have a prophetic voice please note I didn't try to say that I was dead I am that for some you may not receive me as that but I know I'm speaking the Word of God you'll know it's a profit because profits don't beg they don't ask you they don't manipulate they just tell you the truth and most of the time is something you don't want to hear but you need to hear it [Applause] elder we got too many itching ears church members they don't want the truth they want you to tell them what they want to hear so they can keep living sound living nasty living unholy and still think God's gonna bless him no you better get that right you've had grace in 2018 but what God gave you grace for in 2018 you gonna get judgment for in 2019 let me let me help you to understand something do not treat the grace of God cheaply if he covered you in 2018 learn the lesson but then embrace the discipline so that you put up the right defense in 2019 don't let the devil in your house in 2019 kick him out this month get the devil out of your house all of December get him out get him out of your house get him out of your marriage get him out of your mind getting mouth filled DVR get him out of from under them under the cabinet where you keep the brown liquor get him out they don't want to hear pastor Darius why do you think they call certain liquor spirits you drink it and you change [Applause] it's time for you to start living above sea level this is a critical moment in the body of Christ it's going to require three things I need you to write it down it's going to require strategy discernment insight strategy discernment insight say Holy Ghost give me strategy say it again say Holy Ghost give me strategy it's so important that you remain quiet this month while the Lord downloads details to your destiny stop telling everybody what God is doing it's between you and God it is the glory of God to conceal the matter it is the wisdom of kings to search it out notice what he's only Kings should be able to discern where you're going stop sharing holy things with common folk everybody's not happy for your vision everybody's not happy that you're trying to move forward in your life everybody's not excited about that I don't care if they're smiling some people are genuinely trying to make sure you don't move you don't grow you don't progress what you working on nothing just talking to God I see you writing a lot in your journal yeah that's can I read it why would you give the blueprint to your destiny to somebody that's not invested in your legacy the Syrian King was plotting to sneak attack Israel but before he could do it God had already told the Prophet I need you to know in this season God loves you so much that he's gonna let you know what the devil is trying to do before he does it nobody's excited about that this is the season where the Lord is going to literally unveil the plan of the enemy while they're doing it you're gonna just be able to observe it in the spirit and listen listen to the Holy Ghost inside of you because you're going to encounter people you're going to meet them you're going to see them then you're going to see them I don't want you to just meet them I need you to see them so ask the Lord for discernment because God will immediately show you they're against you they were there not for you they don't want to see you do well and it's not for you to say it it's for you to know it let them keep doing what they're doing as long as you know this is the thing about Judas I love Jesus Judas Jesus was not caught off guard by Judas he knew exactly who Judas was and he interacted with Judas he prayed for Judas he fed Judas he laughed with Judas but he knew who Judas was so don't get don't be mean to people be just as nice cuz even they have an assignment [Music] [Applause] so here's what's important to catch the Syrian King was plotting against the people of God and in this season many of us have been living in carnality based on our flesh and not in our spirit in Matthew 26 as Jesus was praying to the Father oh my father if it is possible let this cup pass nevertheless not my will but your will be done he went back to the friends that he said stay here and watch with me but they were sleeping he said what are you couldn't stay with me one hour come on get up watch lest you enter into temptation for the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak this is the season where God has been showing you the willingness of your spirit versus the weakness of your flesh am i speaking to anybody in my church this one you love God but Joe /keep manifesting right here you want to serve God but this keeps popping up you you worship and the worship is real but your flesh is real to what Jesus was saying is you better watch the devil because you do love God your spirit is willing but your flesh is weak what gave Jesus power when his spirit was willing but his flesh was weak what was his secret weapon prayer nobody shouts for prayer nobody runs around the church for prayer we run for a house a car some money debt cancellation nobody runs for prayer but all the stuff you want is in prayer you want power you need prayer you want to tell the devil get out your house you need to be in prayer you want to be able to tell cancer not today prayer prayer is the secret weapon of the prophetic if you want power you need a prayer life you can directly tell the level of attack and the success or failure of that attack based on the prayer life of the person in question nobody's gonna say Amen the enemy is counting on you to stay carnal he's counting on you to look at horoscopes you actually studying stars but won't talk to the one who made the stars and I'm not sick listen there there's a little bit of truth in a lot of this stuff enemy is counting on you going out to that little bit instead of going after the whole thing but the truth is some of us won't go to God because we don't really want to change but you're gonna get left behind in 2018 if 2018 has taught me nothing he has shown me people's motives their intention beyond their words he's shown me character my own things that need to die before 2018 leaves so that I can walk into the fullness of what God has for me in 2019 he showed me who needs to go cuz everybody should not be in the camp everybody does not deserve a part of the inheritance so here we find Elijah giving instruction to the king of Israel and so the king of Syria said I'm not I'm a I need to kill this voice the devil is going to do whatever he can to kill the prophetic voice that's speaking into your life so you need to ask the Holy Ghost for wisdom and discernment for who you need to be listening to in this season and how you need to be moving in this season and here's the thing make the moves that the Lord tells you don't Telegraph it just do it be where the Lord told you to be you don't have to announce it you don't have to tell everybody it's none of their business and most people won't understand it anyway well the Lord told you to do what I don't make sense to me cuz he wasn't talking to you I need a 10-second praise break right there I need you to give praise if you know he's about to tell you to do something that other people say won't make sense but you're ready for that move you're ready for that place you're ready for that season you're ready so then the syrian king said where is this prophet cuz i need to take him out of here he said he's in Dothan Brandon where you from say it loud you from Dothan Alabama where's my wife from my wife an elder Brandon live two houses away from each other their whole lives grew up in Dothan Alabama I never understood the significance of why God directed me and he directed me to Pastor avender he directed me to her because in my family the men in my family have a blind spot when it comes to relationships we go after what looks good but what is not good on my mama's side my father's side they'll choose right but mess up and feel inadequate and end up walking away from the thing God designed to break the curse so on one side they choose wrong and and and they and it's because that's what they want on the other side they choose right because they want better but then they don't feel they're worthy of it I was around my father four times in my life and I still manifested that I chose my father chose right he chose a good woman chose Alice gray but he couldn't keep her because he wouldn't pray he wouldn't submit he would never give his life to Jesus so he he married a save woman cuz he liked her character and she was a virgin and he wanted what she had but he was he didn't want her God he wanted the fruit not the root [Applause] my wife's from Dothan Dothan means the city of to Wells now I told you I'm getting ready to prophesy and I know some of y'all are clock-watching so let me give you your prophecy so you can go home and not do nothing write it down the city of to Wells God is getting ready to unlock an unexpected supernatural place of increase and resource without anyone elses permission you're not going to live off of one whale you're gonna start living off two whales your job that's expected but what God is doing is about to be unexpected and what's coming is unexpected and more than the first well which means you'll be able to live off your second whale while saving your first will [Applause] now I'm only prophesying to people who have the ability to hear what does that mean pastor your job will not be what you use to pay bills eat or take care of your family from your second well will be able to do all that and the check you get from your first well you won't

to unlock y'all gonna be able to live and live well kids paid out school paid off house paid off no death sitting well it's the place of two wells now I feel God in the room and I see some people responding by sewing and I'm telling you there's something to be said about an obedient heart in this season let me come over here what does the second will look like pastor that dream that you thought you missed out on that idea you thought the time is going by you were not you're not late you were early now is the time for that he showed it to you five years ago because he wanted it to stay in your heart but you cannot unlock the prophetic without a prophetic speaking to the prophetic God told Abram who he be but God didn't move on until Melchizedek said something you need somebody in the earth that will repeat what Heaven said today I am repeating what heaven has said [Applause] [Music] - wails - well there's your check then there's your well is there anybody that believes what I'm saying [Music] two L's elijah was in two L's symbolic of two different visions there's the one that you can see that's your your regular job Daenerys that supernatural spiritual one that's in the spirit and the Lord kept it hidden in the spirit to make sure you understood who loved you and who just wanted stuff from you I'm sowing into the people Nate who loves me who are called to my life but if you greedy and all you want is a free handout now I cried too many tears I've I've struggled too many years I've been through too much hell to let you just come up and drink from my second well nah no no no no no that's for my kids that's for my grandkids that's for the people who showed in to me when I wasn't this person that's where the people who loved me when I wasn't famous imma bless the people who were praying for me when I wasn't John Gray on TV I want the ones who saw me when I was in Cincinnati when I have braces when nobody knew who I was and still opened the door God says the second well is for the people that loved you when you weren't where you're about to go I wish I need somebody to fight for me I'm getting tired but I got a preach it I need somebody to pray me through [Applause] the wealth that's coming to your house elder will require strategy that's how much is coming [Applause] Aaron God will give strategy and critical moments birthdays are critical revolution and there is no revolution without a revelation and each year brings its own revelation and revelation can also unlock reconciliation and God has given us a Ministry of reconciliation and when reconciliation comes what's unlocked in the reconciliation is legacy and what comes from legacy is destiny and what comes from destiny is opportunity and so God is unlocking legacy destiny and opportunity all at the same time when is your birthday the 30th so you look you're about a few months three weeks away or it was just it just passed two days ago oh so you walking into Oh so this so this is your first Sunday after your birthday all right so then everything that I just said is now applied to your life destiny legacy opportunity and so for you and your house you and your house you and your house favor blessing open door opportunity and two wells a piece that's four wells oh by the way if you marry y'all got four whales coming and if you single you might as well thank God because yo two wells and when it's time for you to be found that you're not gonna get less you don't pray too much why would God give you less no no you're stepping into greater than what God wants to do is give you what's been held up with your name on it and if we can get you distracted if we can distract you that easy you're gonna mess around and miss it but what God has has your name on it nobody else could get it you're well but the enemy will always come when you about to step into two Wells he'll attack your marriage he'll attack your health he'll attack your mind he'll attack your family because if you ever get the revelation of to Wells your whole life will turn around so the servant of the man of God woke up and said we're surrounded Elijah what did you say to me I said it's an army outside because they want to kill you cuz every time you say something that comes to pass be careful of people who despise your prophetic accuracy [Music] they like you in you average but when you all point they don't like you anymore oh you can't worry about it you need to be okay with being God's mouthpiece it's not your word is his word if they don't want to receive it that's on them but there's somebody that will receive the word Elijah said open open this boy's eyes it's more with us than against us all of a sudden the service eyes were open and he saw chariots of fire the horsemen of Israel and notice who they were surrounding they weren't surrounding the army the scripture says they were surrounding Elijah there are people that don't like you if I would em I wouldn't mess with you because they don't know that you are I wish I had some people that I get out of your chair and get in the aisles of old-fashioned I need somebody to turn [Music] to turn [Applause] [Music] I'm
