Affirmed | Dr. Matthew Stevenson | The Damned Damsel

I want you to look at the person actually say neighbor Kiki do you love me Acts chapter 16 verse 16 when you're there say I'm there if you're not there say wait on me acts 16 verse 16 you listen I'll read as we start our discussion Act 1616 says and it came to pass as we went to prayer a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us which brought her masters much gain by soothsayer the same followed Paul and us and cried saying these men are the servants of the Most High God which show unto us the way of salvation and this did she many days but Paul being grieved turned and said to the spirit I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her and he came out the same hour and when her master saw that the hope of their gains was gone they caught Paul and Silas and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers and brought them to the magistrates saying these men being Jews do exceedingly troubled our city for a few minutes I'm going to talk to you about the damned damned soul the damned damned soul I don't think you realize how often and how common whoever shares the story first is believed the most if you have ever been the victim of a rumor a story whoever gets ahead of the rest of the public's knowledge of it is the one who steals the credibility we are not a culture that is objective we often don't wait to hear the other side of any story if I've been wounded or offended and I get to share it first then my angle is the one that has the most credence then after about several weeks after other factors come out then the hearer or the judge or the observer or the onlooker gets to then make a new conclusion about what they think really happened after having heard the multiple signs of the story I know you quiet but because a lot of you are the onlooker that judge first after having heard what else happened and then we have a really bad habit Laurie is that you know how that ain't you we have a really bad habit of acting like that people are how they are to us let me give an example if somebody is mean or aggressive or assertive to us then we want to go and spread that and and increase that reputation to people that have not experienced those people acting like that that one encounter with me is how you are when it could be that you just don't like me and other people may have different experiences with another person often we are guilty of taking a 50% of a context to the judge without having the grace or the patience to hear the other side and the problem with that is you never get wisdom off of 50% you don't even get a righteousness off of 50% you don't get fairness off of 50% and you don't get perspective off for 50% it takes every side of the struggle now often we approach the Scriptures in the exact same way if you have been in a charismatic church all of us have read this story we have heard it we have evaluated but not thoroughly because we end up victimizing the damned damsel now I don't know why you silent at the word damned because jesus said damned in mark 16:16 through 18 he says whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved and whoever believeth not shall be damned to give further weight to this because I'm an educated black man here to help the word damned in the Bible means no hope having been tossed over to fate to finality it actually literally means to be cursed it means to be without reach without help without opportunity or without option and when we look at a lot of the women around the world a lot of them are very similar but I want to suggest to you certain angles of this text that you might have missed first of all I want you to see what has happened to the damn damsel and what happened to the Damned that damned sue is that she was damned what I mean by that is that she was the victim of the environment of a witch now and the reason we know that is because the Bible says that she was the recipient listen to me of the spirit of divination if you know anything about the way demons work they don't always work because you want them you don't have to go up to a devil and say hi mr. demon I want you to be part of my life sometimes you can be under the authority of somebody that has that devil you can be in love with somebody that has that devil you can sleep with somebody that has that devil and what happens is opportunity is created listen to me for what's in somebody else to come in you now when we read this we automatically go to the judgment of this woman but I want to let you know that she was the victim of a spell had to be because the way you got attacked by your spirit of divination the KJ because it's sorcery but sorcery is the behavior of a sorcerer so somewhere in this girl's life somebody around her put a hex on her I feel my help through here put a vex honor allowed something to happen in her environment that would take residency in her life this girl didn't come out saying I'm gonna be the damn damsel she didn't grow up saying I'm gonna be the damn - damn so she wasn't in college saying I'm gonna be the damn - damsel he's won not her aspirations to be damned but somebody around her damned her by exposing her to darkness somebody around her so her the power of witchcraft now put that there and let me give you a history lesson witchcraft is as old as the Bible it is not a brand-new phenomena people have been doing witchcraft for millennia in fact in the book of Deuteronomy one of the things forbidden by God through the prophet Moses were omens om e is and those were physical amulets and physical things that you would look at to see the future yesterday I happened to come across for those of you that are children of the eighties in 90 a witch and she wasn't even a witch cuz her power wasn't soulish it was faith there's a real witch right and then there are other people who just flirt with darkness how many of you remember Miss Cleo call me now and Cleo would sit on a table on a foam and she would play spades with tarot cards and people who wanted to know the future who were naive about the powers of darkness who didn't know how to choose a spouse or where the dog would call Miss Cleo and Miss Pierre would say oh yeah there goes I see you just made a decision and you about to make another decision and your family is going to be impacted by the decision now to Bible this naive spiritually virgin people they think that I just gave them insight but I just said something that is really applicable to every human being in life let's test it out how many of you have just made a decision how many of you are about to make another decision how many of your families were impact about this is you may so there was nothing really Supernatural about that at all but in a generation that craves spiritual power no matter who or what it comes from it answered the crave of the soul for darkness so what happened is there were categories of magic and abortion was one of them because the Bible say in the book of Deuteronomy that there was a God by the name of Molech who was only satisfied by presenting the unborn to be burned so a woman would go in worshipped Imola to give birth to a child either conceived legitimately or illegitimately to be offered as a worship and offered as a sacrifice to a god called moola another form of witchcraft was those that caused caught talking with the dead I got to show you this to understand why this is important those of you that are taking marital advice from your dead grandma mum you might want say man those of you that worship or practice All Saints Day where where the Dead come back and give you wisdom I know you're offended you know because black people have a bad habit I'm thinking that all the witch crap is in Haiti when a lot of it is right in your house step on a crack break your mama bats a witch clap pull a witch clap scratching your hand because that mean you about to get some more money say which crier spitting on brooms after it cleans over your foot or y'all don't want to answer I don't do that that's bad luck which claw hexes vexes voodoo spells for my sons that are here going in ministry men of God don't you ever take no chili or no spaghetti from an older widowed woman looking for a man I guess there is a such thing in the form of Cajun voodoo where women will take from their menstruation blood I'm talking to you when I live and we'll put it is call root witching and they will put it in red stews to give it to men to make them fall in love now you might not be that form of a witch but if you purposely show your cleavage to married men if you start hugging and your handle Luciola you ain't root which and you hit which but you spill a witch [Applause] for those of you that are spirit filled but washed born-again acts 2:38 and you'll go on Facebook and in your bio is as Pisces I want to tell you how much which have you in I want to tell you why you letting the demons in the sky hooked you up with capricorns and Kansas and the monsters are claiming your destiny you have signed your success to a brainless universe and you wonder why you on the verge of insanity somebody asked me was my son I say sanctify not wash we demon wash [Applause] I got a preach my altar time cuz now I'm about to really deal with you you put your hand on your chest say me you don't realize I'm ready to preach now how many people are benefiting from your brokenness I said that you don't realize how many people are depending on you staying power there are literal audience is allowed you that have been fixated to you and if you get heal it's bad for business now we can do some work there people around you who needs you to stay insecure they really do they need you to stay broke and they really do it is profitable for them that you remain fractured burnout broken confused because if you are hole I have no real context on how to profit from you so there are people around you that are benefiting from you not being as well as you should be maybe it's your mama maybe it's your daddy maybe it's your friends and your bros and your BFS but there are people around you I know you don't know it that benefit from your brokenness and I'm not talking about positively when you start to get free and and a whole and unconfident it threatens certain relationships you don't want to say man and the reason it threatens certain relationships is because there are people around you that have a great need to be needed number two there are other people who don't have identity so they benefit from controlling of the people when you find a controlling person you find somebody who is only occupy themselves we're learning how to manipulate I'm working in here learning how to fix it to make sure that people stay under their spell the damned devil and the damned damsel were in the same team but it was somebody else's fault this girl was a recipient of an evil that came from somebody else would you like to know what kind of evil it was the name of this spirit was Python this was a demon that wanted to get close to you how did he come by rostov to wrap itself around you this devil is different from a cobra a cobra will bite you and then the venom will come there but a python wants to get close to you I appreciate people that are bold enough to admit they don't like me at least I know who you are what I don't appreciate is ninjas who want to get close to me and act like they do I appreciate an honest enemy when somebody says to me I don't like you I'm like good we haven't understand it but when somebody says hey bro let's go to dinner hey bro let me come and support you and their whole motive isn't it close enough so they can make a move that many of you around some money right now it's trying to wrap themselves around you I know you don't believe it they're trying to wrap themselves around your energy wrap themselves around your favor there are people who are respected in all nations and there are people who don't have that respect and they don't want a relationship they want to rent your credibility so if people see you one way and they're not seen another way they start to strategically maneuver to see how they can be taken serious but God's about to set the damn damsel free did you hear me what I said the damn damsel is about to meet the scale breaker [Applause] wrapping around all of a sudden you start losing money la you start losing energy your study life is a pacted your prayers start you like a casement it's manifestations of the spirit of python now here's the problem with us when we read this text we automatically victim i we automatically objective objectify the girl we act like she wanted that spirit of divination but the Bible says that that spirit was in her and that spirit being in her profited those that wanted to control her there are some spirits of tiredness in you I'm looking at you some of your exhaustion and it's not the conference some of you are wore out emotionally you allow sexually your body parts is tired you all kind of birth organs is war you exhaust him you're exhausted in your mind you exhausted in your heart you're tired and when people are tired they don't make good decisions you touch yourself when you're tired you touch other folk when they tire when you're tired you cheat when you're tired you steal when you're tired you forget when you tired and when you are tired it comes the tempter when you are tired here comes torment when you are tired you kind of follow the masters of that city devran needed her to stay now what in your life needs you to stay pal what in your social circuit needs you to not have your esteem together what around you needs you to not be in your potential and is afraid of you outgrowing the context or the chapter or even the seasoned lady her bundage was a blessing to other people and not even from a testimony perspective it secured their careers the vulnerability of the girl prospered them and they were benefited now let's take this of the deepest issue quiet verse 17 this girl had a devil in her but followed Paul you see y'all don't read the Bible the right way and I blame the system No willingly demonized person would follow Paul do you ever see in the Gospels where somebody willingly demonize was following Jesus promoting his tape ministry who does that every time they saw Jesus coming into all no we know what you doin here why are you tormenting up the boy at the grave the boy that's kiss even even those that met him coming out of the tombs did the same thing so what was different and here's a difference you can still be demonize and be desperate I said you can still be demonize and desperate as a matter of fact your desperation may be what got you demonized to begin with the devil got ahold of your desperation before you could give it to God but God's about to set the dam the dam so free she was desperate before she was damned and if God can great to curse he can't stir that hunger you read this fast she followed Paul now in the Word of God the Bible says no man can call Jesus the Son of God except by the Holy Ghost this girl says these men are servants of the Most High God let's read it which show unto y'all which show unto them which show unto us the way of salvation what she was saying was whenever we use is to teach false prophecy we use this to teach how the devil knows supernatural information by non prophetic pastors they'll tell you even the devil knows stuff look at the damsel but better than one the point of this segment of Scripture the point was to show that God can send somebody free who is a slave on the behalf of the prosperity on an entity that needs it to remain now they show us the way of deliverance and this dear Paula this is gonna help you many days look at me you run the risk of being trapped in the cycle of seeing for others what you will not see for you now because you don't read this right you in verse 17 you read it like and this girl shouted at them you read it in sarcasm because that's how y'all ignorant pastors preach it but this girl was not sarcastic the Bible say she cried she cried these men folk men of God and they show us the way of God more perfectly have you ever believed in somebody else's deliverance and did not believe in your own y'all some Liars all in this section I'm gonna hear have you ever found a comfort zone of encouraging them motivating them challenging them and not ever being free enough to allow yourself to have a process and I have a break up and have some time and give some perspective it's comfortable to help them when you don't know how to help yourself [Applause] I'm the friend that everybody calls when they need some help what you didn't hear is that that same friend is the one who needs help and don't have it I'm I'm the reliable one I'm working in here the one that is there when you need me to give you some money and come late at night I'm a ride-or-die but what do you do when the ride-or-die dies and nobody knows that the ride-or-die is dying I [Applause] want you to hear me by the Spirit of God the loyal are always the lonely or y'all don't want to have Church I came to look at me I said the Loyola are always the lonely they seldom get what they give and what happens is just like the dam to them so they get tired of being there tired of being available and something doc can appreciate that loyalty and use that loyalty for the agenda of he'll see commitment his commitment it no matter what Kingdom it works to this is why so many people are still bound cuz they're committed people so if they're worshiping or living in the darkness the devil has just got a hold of a hardware that God put in there and use it for the advantage of darkness many days how long have you not allowed yourself to be delivered how long have you not develop the courage to say I think I'm depressed but you're so quiet now he's just changing the world yesterday how long have you not opened up to say I'm still here I bend them new members I went through new images but I need a little weed from time to time did you hear what I say how long are you gonna continue to work the altar work off some people and then acts your brother in price where the edibles are how long are you gonna live like this you have developed a coping mechanism for life crises that have not been dealt with and a crisis unconfident becomes a nobody can deal with you better confront that stuff if you are sad you don't get more active you stop we call this girl no which we call a sorcerer but she was a damsel damned about her story Pam's by her environment damned by her life circumstance now most people who go into witchcraft sorcery any of the dark arts were very very wounded people before they started looking for power to ensure that nobody else would wound them if you interview a vampire and they do exist if you inter and some of y'all are so spiritually naive that you think that they are movies no one of the the Webster's definition get ready get mad for a vampire is a seductive woman webster call your bloodthirsty vampires if you don't believe me go look at it's a blood saw a seductive woman the bible calls it a van that's why next time you want to put a hickey on your neck to send you home to your wife you better start speaking in tongues brother that lady's trying to put some heebie-jeebie on you so you can't get her out of your mind I'm talking to you knucklehead she trying to make sure she lay it on you good how many you know the devil can give you some magical sex y'all don't wanna do it me the devil can lay it on you so good give money sex ain't never bad it's always the back sense of your life because the devil is teaching up an instrument of Darkness to trigger your pressure point so you won't hear my course everybody Adam they know this is why I take you so long to come out when you are in a demonic realm of sexual activity it's not just your heart and your parts what the devil is done while you are having sex it's opened up your cerebral self you don't know it cuz you getting your groove on and what these bodies is giving you imprints memories imaginations so the next day when you mind your busy life matter is good car seat Oh put that thing on me come on Zion let's get real but God's about to release us waking up knowing taking a break the spell find the powers of Hell and seven of excess [Applause] you ain't had no good sex until you felt like somebody put a hex on you [Applause] [Applause] many days many days many days many days she had a comfort zone where she was encouraging them and was not kidding free herself one day she got before Paul Paul let her follow him to a point let me give you some church wisdom you never want to submit to the leader that deals with you around your issue you never you never want to submit to a church that preaches over your bondage now the church hold movement a part of their foundation is you can't preach that from the pulpit but the problem is if you are in the pew who in the hell is the pulpits supposed to preach - are they supposed to preach around you to the streets no you in here you need to help you need to deliverance if you in here yes I'm gonna protect you I'm gonna tell you you a liar I'm a working in here I'm gonna tell you you inconsistent I'm gonna tell you your mama's controlling your daddy's RA I'm gonna tell you your man need a job and you need to lose some weight I'm gonna hit you like oh come on let's go to church here I'm gonna hit you right in a sensitive spot so that you can get the vet trying how about helping you preach it to them [Applause] Paul had something at him I'm almost done they refuse to let this woman stay this way he had something in him that grew weary with looking at you like this thank God for leaders they don't let you come to a point and be like okay I'm making an executive decision stop what you're doing now all of us like leaders and leadership that bless us and encourage you you have to push me you got to promote me want to be challenged with some of them you know I've been looking at your face for the last 30 30 days and then bags under your eyes is good to look people than the River Jordan I'm here to tell you right now I'm gonna do this for you even though you don't like this come on and go with me we need to be taken care of by a direct leadership style that won't allow us to keep going just because we're following them the Bible said Paul got greed he look at him and look at you in the name of Jesus Christ you spoke to her and that demon a demon nation divination now look here's what she also didn't realize the Bible says he came out of her some of you women are that dam the dam so there is a he in you and it's not affecting you sexually it's affecting your emotional makeup it's affecting your resistance and your refusal to feel it's reflecting how you will not respond to life right you think that's the Holy Ghost inside of you telling you don't trust them all men are dogs don't be that way just do it by yourself that ain't the Holy Ghost that's another him his name is Casper the Friendly Ghost and he is strengthened by fear and he's in you coaching you up on how to be unlike the real you verse 19 when her master saw that the hope of their gains were gone I'm about to give you a word from the Lord if you wanna see what's real around you rest them Allah all D handclaps ain't intimidate me stop doing what people benefit from it will test y'all over here is everything real around you rest who pullback retire from one way and see what happens and it will show you who needed you or who needed what you could do and many of you don't have to disarm it to know the difference some people want you other people want your skill [Applause] now I'm a hollow a little bit moment and I'm done they got so mad that this girl got free but they're like we gotta stop whoever is responsible for helping this girl think about herself differently because we mind be reminded that she thought about Paul accurately her problem was she just didn't think that there was ever a real place called deliverance for herself a helpless place a hopeless place that now became that cavity for dark power in any place of witchcraft in a person's life it's probably there because of an Underwood pain this woman is coughs in his whole city that's what the accusation was Paul they need to be locked up cuz the whole city was profiting off of this girl's bondage would you like to be surprised at something you were the damn damsel at some point maybe you can't say a man cuz you are the damn the damsel your whole life has been situated around your brokenness you don't even know another way to be you choose your friends out of it I'm talking to your Snapple head so your type of woman is based upon it your type of man is based upon it you only know yourself broken haha but when the spell breaker comes and sets the damned damsel free the damn damsel becomes a daughter won't you help me this girl was not a monster it's cheap easy preaching to casually look over this and say see this is how you know those churches that song the gifts can be speaking from their flesh look at her she was a damsel but she too qualified for deliverance and none of us want to study how she got damned to begin with maybe it was her mama her daddy it was probably all false teaching or witchcraft but I hear the Spirit of God saying I'm about to deliver you from the residue y'all only am I gonna deliver you from the residue I'm gonna deliver you from the rest of you imma do something in you that's gonna make you look much differently from you ever looked did you like yourself bounder frustrated wait till he beautifies the meek with salvation I see you've been in a season where you been learning yourself you've been looking at your strengths and weaknesses you've been trying to plan the future and imagine what tomorrow looks like but there's only one factor that you've not an entered into the equation you got to start your real one day allow your dysfunction and around your brokenness and play it around you'll respond you some of you won't pursue stuff because you don't believe you got it in you to pay attention you like I know me I don't really finish them so I'm not gonna start this degree program because I got all this going on and I don't trust myself or I'm not gonna start invest because I got this drinking habit now God's about to open your eyes he's gonna deal with what's wrapping itself watch me around your potential day to help somebody come on tap I'm on your stomach tap yourself say let me go say let me go say let me go I feel something uncoiling around your pinky [Laughter] [Applause] thoughts about to do it for the damn penso he's about to find somebody the powers of Paulo but God's about to deal with what's stopping your brokenness the damn damsel became the recipient of the deliverance Ministry of the Apostle Paul obviously because Paul could see who she was before she was damned now here's your warning here is your warning if you're not okay the hardest confrontation to make itself confrontation it is okay to look in the mirror and say ah I'm just not here I need to be God told me to be I'm called to be I'm even anointed to be but something's going wrong I'm feeling a little more stress I'm not remembering things I'm not liking the people that I love the irresponsible thing to do is to project it like they're doing something wrong but God is delivering many of you i prophesy in the month of august from the spirit of burnout did you hear what I said to you emotional burnout spiritual burnout relational burnout conversational I know the best the best the best get burn on average people don't get burnout burnout is only for the best we need to keep you the best you're the damn Dems something's got to have a burden for you and you have you have to have an anointing on you because even in your bondage people are prospering they're prospering because of you the magistrates and the rulers are broke without you so imagine you gave this gift to the devil imagine what you could do if you cave it to God you've you prospered in war ouch imagine what you could do well rested and fully focused and how the damn damsel became a diviner because she was she was ashamed of needing to heal all shame is not because of sin some of us feel guilty that we need rest and need to halt it'sit'sit's how we are wired God wires manga gifts and mega minds to be highly pressurized the problem is we're the last ones to realize that we're on the tipping point you have a right to heal you got a long journey a lot of stuff you gonna experience deal with the shame around you're needing to be restored every year in the fall I sabbatical and for the last ten years right before a sabbatical though I know I needed I'm always ashamed I'm having to walk away because I'm like this my umbilical cord is here I've got to manage until I was warned by the Holy Spirit the Lord confronted me said son there are two destinies for you I've shown you my plan now I'm gonna show you Hales and I saw what he'll wanted to do I saw it clear as day and so I've been in the fear of God took my side of the deal Lord I'm not going to live build or act in any way that makes me closer to Satan's plan for my demise I'm going to obey God I'll deal with my I miss you and all of that later I'm gonna do what they need me to I'll let people I don't have problems forever if you don't get healed and take yourself to here's this here's this you have to manage the dance of taking yourself seriously and not thinking more highly of yourself than you ought it's a it's a ballerina dance because you don't want low self-esteem but you don't want to overestimate your who am I talking to you don't want people to walk on you but you do want to be merciful you want to be mighty it's a dance and in every level of your life you have to learn that dance God had mercy on the damned damsel cuz she didn't get there by her own desire we're so religious we look at people that are hurting and wounded and we think or what did you do to get that way something must've went down how did you end up here sometimes life is unpredictable muscles that you develop and stronger seasons of life and I'm gonna close at this but I hear this from the Holy Ghost those of you that got saved as children the reason you'll burn out is because you've not learned salvation as an adult when you get saved as a child you have to relearn how to live out what you learn as a child you learn a lot of stuff when you get saved in church that's not applicable to you Lynne because you've not lived it out so you can say sanctified an egg and the intern 18 though the principle works the application is a lot different you didn't know how to renew your mind when he was in Sunday school didn't know how to fight your desires when you was in the Junior Choir [Music] you know the right stuff to say let my mind is a righteousness of Christ blood of Jesus but you almost gotta kiss a hobo sample and Obama you almost got to grow up and say okay when I was a child come on I spoke as a child that stuff worked when I was bullied and that's the work when I couldn't read but I'm feeling and facing with some whole different stuff and I can use my Sunday School lessons up here on this mountain I've got to go deeper I've got to be stronger a peaceable grace you're so used to being strong that you are uncomfortable with confessing that you need to be stronger you need more strength than what you have how many of you are strong people god bless you God made you that way and I want you to love how God made you but you don't have what you need for the future and if you get so impressed with what you've lived through and been through you'll stay there and you'll never do what needs to be done to secure the future lift your hands I heard the Lord say and the conclude of this conference tell my people I'm going to give them rest and it was so unusual because I'd never heard the Lord say that he said tell my people I'm going to give them rest nobody know they're gonna work but they're gonna work from a brand-new place we're talking about the future because all nations is that type of church the more we talk about it the more we beckon it is much closer than it was last week and we keep bringing this pressure here these burdens here this mandate closer to us but we're being passive about being prepared to stand under it you need to be just as concerned upon yourself responsible people worry about themselves last but you better hear this Kairos word you've been working the altar counseling working pushing supporting counseling you are in a season to receive [Music] what I wish you knew the voice of God I've heard it from the whole ego you are in a season to receive and come out of that dysfunction that tells you is because you did something wrong no it's called battle fatigue you've been fighting and fighting and you never stop the water drink beloved shrink we love it you need this for the future you've done well with the past yeah you've done well with those battles but I'm trying to do something else with you and you don't have no perspective of it yet [Music] you can the Lord I had a visitation from God my wife an hour before the Lord on some major ministry moves and major ministry ideas and I only move quick when I know I've heard from God so we are really reverently before the Lord about a month ago the Lord gave me a visitation if you are a husband a boyfriend a father listen to what I'm saying a visitation we're in a dream of the night he's shocked he showed me [Music] listen [Music] this is real stuff in a dream of the night the hand of the Lord handed me [Music] listen cuz now I must see it for real the Lord visited me and put me in a clinic in a dream of the night and what I know now was an angel came to me and presented me a clipboard of some x-rays shaped like a woman and the angel of the Lord said to me in a dream this is your wife's anatomy this is how I've made her you will be responsible for building around her based upon what I'm showing you here and in the dream I looked at these reports of how God made her and what needed to happen to her so that I could steward both her and my destiny will because if the wife is not well for whatever reason she can't push the husband if the husband can't be pushed the house cannot prosper there are many men who are bombs because a hurting wife can't push him [Music] he warned me if you want to be productive make sure she keeps peace and I will put in her mouth what your heart needs to hear to be safe to explore success most important visitations I've ever had in my life he said you've heard for me this isn't me what you planned is actually me but you have to do this to make sure that she is clear because then in her absence of clarity she won't contaminate your counsel every husband needs the wisdom of their wife even if they're not gonna follow through and make a different decision they need the wisdom of their wife but a wounded woman is limited in how wise she can be and you may be like wow that's good but my wife and got no job my wife ain't got no job she worked for me but you know the Holy Ghost told me you can be burnt out from being a mother the other want to say man and man I don't expect you to understand it you can be burnt out from being a wife it's a lot to manage that mind and too many husbands are not devoted to protecting the peace of their wife and subsequently when that husband is at a crossroad needing to hear God on what to decide or do the wife is silent because she's stressed man needs to praise I don't care how much they say they don't the praise the push the affirmation of their wives every man needs it every man needs it and they needed because it translates into courage [Music] that they're not afraid that I'm gonna make a wrong decision when Sara said I'm following whatever you say is God Abraham say good let's go I'm going to the future it's okay let your hands let me pray there is an anointing on this word this is deeper than a vacation it's deeper than a beach it's about taking time to look at your soul if you've grown you have new hurts if you've grown you should have new desires things you wanna do differently don't take it out on people around you have the decency and the boldness and the courage to rest father in the name of Jesus you did it for the damned damned soul you delivered her you set her free from the power that took advantage of her weariness and her weakness and wrapped around her you sent a confrontational word to something that was trying to keep her in a condition and I'm praying fervently feverishly for everyone here under the sound of my voice that's been afraid to heal nervous to get stronger embarrassed to rest and to walk away I'm asking that you would so rearrange them that you can restore them for the journey that lay ahead Lord forgive our ignorance forgive our ignorance of what's before us we've calculated it and we planned it as if we're certain what it's going to cost our lives help us to see ourselves in new lenses because of the responsibility that's coming to us in the name of Jesus but there is great responsibility coming out of heaven these days and many of us are not upgrading ourselves to handle what God is gonna call us to do next we receive the challenge Lord come on we receive the challenge we receive the challenge come on give the Lord a shout of [Music] oh come on praise him [Music] come on praise Him praise Him praise [Music] I want you to wave at me if you needed this word that's like 90% do yourself a favor and make good decisions when you feel your best it's a strong decision a strong movement a strong life change don't do it tired my wife asked me out the day maybe how you feel I said I like seventy nine point eight percent she's not good but do I need to do to get you to that hundred it's okay to admit to yourself I'm like twenty six point seven and not seven seven and if you don't know what percentage you in you need even more help co-pastor Suzy say you need a therapy with prayer [Music] because it means you're so out of touch with how you're doing then the only thing people can do for you here this morning when you don't know how you feel or where you are or how you're handling light we only have one option and it's to use you that's how so many people get used is because you don't know how you do it so we don't know how you're doing so we just want you to keep on doing then you come out of it like I've been used misuse hurt not a church what I was attempting to do my word by people who call themself thanks then you join the bastard movement because you are unaware of how bold you needed to be to say I'm breaking down those are you in the room and I tell you this by God best with this church hurt mess those of you that know the voice of the Lord need to depart from it and you intercessors need to be shutting it down here's why maybe the church didn't handle your brokenness right that's a real thing I talked to people who get molested raped introduced to drugs lie to live on that is real but if we're gonna be real about the real you were broke when you got here we are not the origin of your brokenness you came to the door a mess now maybe we didn't handle it right but your mama is who broke you life broken you got a life hurt that you entrust it to the church and maybe they did what they should have or maybe they didn't but don't blame your brokenness here depart from it those of you who prayed shut it down cuz that thing is gonna come of the judgment of God if I'd be God's man he's not playing with us God has put his future one place and it's in his house amen how do people get their hurtin don't know how to say it hurt never been axed tired and never been told sit down stop amen so I don't know exactly how to open the doors of the church after that if I'm transparent cuz I don't know if it anybody one join the native life am I'm going back to Anglican where there's a lot easy over there
