Anointed Alignment - Bishop T.D. Jakes

so we like cars get out of alignment and we need to be tuned up and brought into alignment because if we're not into alignment life becomes difficult simple things become hard there are four different things that that they brought out that i think are really important number one when your car is aligned it reduces tire wear provides maximum tire life in other words your tires don't give out as quickly that's true about your car that might be true about your life too enhances fuel economy it doesn't take as much when you're in alignment as it does when you're out of alignment when you're out of alignment you burn more gas just little tweak just a little twist just a little turn can save fuel if you're in alignment i wonder if that's true about life the third thing it improves handling it's easier to steer and to handle when the wheels are in alignment when they're out of alignment is things get out of control really quickly really easily because you're not in alignment and number four it increases driving safety it's the only safe place for you as a believer is in alignment with god and if you're not in alignment with god that's why everything is wearing you out you're tired you're wearing out you're falling out you're giving up if you're not in alignment with god you find yourself in a situation where where it's just costing you more to do simple things because you're out of alignment and god can steer you when you're in alignment but when you're out of alignment it's difficult for you to steer you hear the word but then acting on the word you're out of alignment you really don't flow into it well and i thought it was a good illustration for what we're going to do tonight so holy spirit as we embark upon this class tonight bring us into divine alignment bring us into supernatural anointed alignment so that we can be perfected and do the things you called us to do in jesus name we pray somebody shout amen somebody say bring me into alignment oh you said it now let's go to first samuel chapter 16 verse 3 through 12 and we're going to pick up in the same text that i started sunday but we're going a little bit deeper and a little bit further and a little bit wider are you ready invite jesse to the sacrifice and i will show you what to do you are to anoint for me the one i indicate samuel did what the lord said when he arrived at bethlehem the elders of the town trembled when they met him they asked do you come in peace samuel replied yes in peace i have come to sacrifice to the lord consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me then he consecrated jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice when they arrived samuel saw elijah and thought surely the lord's anointed stands before the lord stands here before the lord but the lord said to samuel don't don't consider his appearance or his height see alive was real tall saul was real tall he looked like a good replacement but god said i don't care about how tall he is for i have rejected him the lord does not look at the things people look at people look at the outward appearance but the lord looks at the heart oh that's good right there i got to stop a minute right there whatever you show on god if it doesn't come from a hard place it's not gonna move god it might move people but it won't move god if it's a head place and not a hard place if it's a scheme if it's a strategy but it doesn't come from a sincere place it might move people but it does not move god then jesse called abinadab and had him pass in front of samuel but samuel said the lord has not chosen this one either jesse then had sharma pass by but samuel said nor has the lord chosen this one jesse had seven of his sons somebody say seven pass before samuel but the lord but samuel said to him the lord has not chosen these so he asked jesse are these all the sons you have there is still the youngest jesse answered he is tending the sheep samuel said sin for him we will not sit down until he arrives oh glory to god god's getting ready to sin for somebody somebody that's been overlooked and ignored and ostracized and alienated and they didn't think you were good enough or big enough or tall enough or bright enough or smart enough god's getting ready to sin for you glory to god and samuel said we're not even going to sit down until he gets here so he sent for him and had him brought him watch this he was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features then the lord said rise and anoint him this is the one somebody shout i'm the one my god my god my god you may be seated let's get to work on this thing there's so much here i don't hardly even know where to begin shout hallelujah somebody shout it again hallelujah doesn't it mean something to be chosen by god you will remember sunday now when we left off sunday we left sam we were talking about samuel weeping and mourning and we were talking about a heart full of grief and a horn full of oil and when we left off samuel was in a place of crushing crushing places in life always proceed amongst the faithful they always proceed an anointing coming in your life because you can't get oil without disruption you cannot extract oil out of the olive and leave the olive intact it is the crushing places in our lives i know you don't like them i don't like them either i don't want them i don't ask for them i don't pray for them i don't get up and get on my knees and say lord crush me today anybody pray that prayer lord i want to go through something crushing and painful and and hurtful no no no no no i don't want to go through any of that but every so often we go through crushing places in life and samuel is in a place of crushing and he was in a place of crushing and mourning and grief over saul whom god had rejected now it helps you to understand that israel did not come from a background of having kings in the first place in fact they had judges and hence we had the book of judges before they had kings because god considered himself to be their king but when they looked at all the other people and they saw all the other nations had kings they said give us a king like the other nations so this king saul was born out of the people's will it was born out of the people have you ever done something that was born out of your will and then you got in trouble you asked god to bless it but god is not in your life to bless your will he wants to bring you into alignment with his will and so it it ends up in a debacle and a mess because it was never what god really intended to happen in the first place we see the crushing place and then we hear god talking about the oil we see samuel weeping and then we see him holding up a horn full of oil and god says to the weeping prophet how long will you re weep for who i rejected i have found a man after my own heart and he says get up and fill your horn with oil and go he brings him out of the weeping place throughout scriptures you'll see the weeping place over and over again like when jesus goes to the garden of gethsemane it is it is a crushing place it is a weeping place it is the place in life that proceeds the cross gethsemane literally means oil press so i believe i believe that that what happened to jesus at gethsemane is equally as important as what happened to him on calvary let me show you because first of all there wouldn't have been a calvary if he didn't go through gethsemane gethsemane was the place where he brought his will saul in alignment with god's will david that that place in your life where you where you go and he tries to bring the disciples with him and he tries to get the inner circle to go with him but when you're in a certain state with god you can't invite company everybody that likes you doesn't like where you're at and they can't handle where you're at and they can't deal with where you're at and everybody that you like you can't bring them because you like them i have learned over the years that just because i like somebody that mean that i can bring them into alignment with god's purpose and god's will for my life they fall asleep and you can always tell when you brought the wrong person because they fall asleep [Applause] they give out on you they're not really with you they don't really connect with you peter james and john have fallen asleep and jesus has gone on a little further and we're going to talk a little bit about that tonight because i want you to begin to get in your mind and in your heart and in your spirit that god loves you no less when you're crushed than he does when you're anointed god doesn't love you any less because you're in a painful place god doesn't love you any less because you're going to a place where your emotions are all in an upheaval and your life is in turmoil that doesn't mean that god's favor has left you that he loves you less that he's not going to accomplish his purpose was jesus any less god in gethsemane than he was in the resurrection absolutely not absolutely not he was he was either praying until he bled out of his sweat glands and yet yet yet he was still god and he wrestles in the will to bring his will into alignment because when your will is out of alignment and you got two different voices and you're double-minded and you're halt between two opinions there's more wear and tear on your life you go to bed tired you get up tired you lay down tired you rise up tired you just slept eight hours and you're still tired because you're wrestling all in your sleep because you don't have alignment you don't have alignment so you develop all kinds of disorders and excessive behavior and compulsive disorders and start medicating self-medicating disalignment with what you really need is to come into a place where you say not my will but thine be done when you start talking like that demons tremble and hell gets nervous because the devil knows when you come into alignment god is going to do something amazing in your life and the oil is going to flow it's not going to leak it's not going to drip it's not going to drop it's going to flow into your life are you hearing what i'm saying to you look at the gospel of saint mark chapter 14 verse for a minute we're going to start there and we're going to take a look at verse 32 through uh 43. they went to a place called gethsemane and jesus said to his disciples sit here while i pray he took peter james and john along with him and he began to deeply destroy and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death he almost sounds like uh samuel did my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death he said to them stay here and keep watch going a little farther he fell to the ground and prayed that if it be possible the hour might pass from him is there a way i can get out of this abba father he said everything is possible for you take this cup from me not watch him come into alignment yet not what i will but what you will coming into a life have you have you come into alignment yet that you've given up on what you had in mind and you said god i reject what i had in mind and i'm open to what you want to do in my life even if i have to move if i have to change even if i have to downsize if it's less money if it's less friends if it's less glamor if it's less this and let's say see it's easy to align with god as long as god is asking you to do what you want to do anyway it is much more difficult when god's will leads you into something that is against what you had in mind are you hearing what i'm saying oh come on somebody then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping simon he said to peter are you asleep couldn't you watch for one hour watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation the spirit is willing he says but the flesh the flesh is what the flesh is what the flesh is what now the spirit is and the flesh is the spirit is and the flesh is the spirit is and the flesh is willing and weak are in a fight here willing and weak are in a fight to see who's going to drive the narrative of what is going on in in in the garden of gethsemane in the pressing place in the pressing place willing and weak are in a fight once more he went away and prayed the same thing now if jesus had to pray three times this once a week praying you've been doing is not to work sweetheart jesus had to pray three times to bring himself into alignment so that he was talking right and thinking right and saying the right things because when he first started praying he was praying but he was praying to have his way and then he surrenders to the alignment of bringing his will into alignment with god's will the father's will and what he had in mind for his life even though it didn't seem pleasant even though it didn't seem good even though it wasn't what he had in mind even so there was a dark cloud over it even though it was tempestuous even though it included betrayal even though it included denial even though it included suffering even though it included public humiliation ultimately he says i would better be aligned with god even if i'm out of line with people even if i don't fit in with the group even if the sanhedrins reject me even if the pharisees laugh even if it looks like the sadducees want i'd rather be in alignment with god even if i'm out of a line with my disciples i'd rather be in alignment with god even if i'm out of alignment with my job i want to be in alignment with god even if it carries me away from my degree i want to be in an alignment with god even if i have to cry myself to sleep i want to be in alignment with god even if i spend some lonely nights i don't want to be out of alignment with god i can't afford the wear and tear in places on my tires on my soul all my life all my spirit on my children all my family on my ministry it costs me too much i got too many heels to climb i've got too many valleys to go through i've got too many turns to make if i don't have nobody on my side but god i can make it i can make it without peter i can make it without james i can make it without john but i cannot make it without god i need god's alignment in my life or i cannot make it when he came back he again found them sleeping because their eyes were heavy they kept falling asleep they did not know what to say to him returning the third time he said to yourself are you still sleeping and resting enough enough enough enough enough enough you can't help me with this the hour has come look the son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners rise and let us go here comes my betrayer the garden of gethsemane is so important just as he was speaking judas one of the twelve appeared with him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs sent from the chief priests the teachers of the law and the elders god knew this moment was coming and jesus in order to endure the sufferings of the cross had to be in an alignment with his father there are certain things that are going on in your life right now that you just can't drive through because you're out of alignment you have to get into alignment with god alignment is everything hell hates alignment the enemy doesn't want you to be aligned with god he will do anything to keep you out of alignment because when you get into alignment you don't have to wrestle to be anointed the anointing will flow wherever the alignment occurs oh god you didn't hear me the anointing will flow wherever the alignment occurs you don't have to wrestle with it you don't have to struggle with it you don't need cheerleaders and pom-poms and people jumping around trying to get you to praise god when you get into alignment there is an anointing that flows automatically just because you are in alignment that's why the enemy if he can't stop you from being anointed he wants to stop you from being in place because if you're not in the right place you're not going to get the right flow and he'll do anything to disrupt you he'll let somebody say something smart or roll their eyes or look at you funny or make you think that they're talking about you and all of a sudden you got an attitude and you change churches again and you change husbands again and you change wives again and you change clothes again and you change your hair now you're brutal now you're redhead keep changing all kinds of stuff and what you really need to change is rebellion and come into alignment with god because when you're in alignment with god yokes are broken walls come down chains are crushed doors are open healings occur breakthroughs flow when you're in alignment with god somebody throw your hands up and say bring me into alignment i want to be in alignment i don't even want to argue with you if it takes me out of alignment there's nothing you did to me so bad that i'm willing to lose my alignment to fool around and get even with you sometimes the enemy will cause a rift between us on this level so that we don't have alignment because hell hates alignment when we're in agreement yokes are broken and bondages are destroyed when we're out of agreement well just look at washington [Applause] all you got to do is get people out of alignment and everything shuts down because you're out of alignment in order to be in alignment sometimes you have to hold your peace sometimes you don't respond to people sometimes you don't get to say everything you want to say because but the bible said follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man should see the lord we talked a lot about holiness down through the years but some of the most hateful people were preaching about holiness they had a lot to say about holiness and nothing to say about following peace they didn't understand that following peace brings you into alignment when you are in alignment the holy spirit will come act said they were in one place with one accord suddenly there came a sound from heaven they weren't waiting on god god was waiting on them when they got into alignment the holy spirit fell on them in a supernatural way i don't know who i'm talking to today but whatever your riff is whatever we're beefing about it's not even worthy to be compared to what god will release even in this building right now even in your house even in your marriage even in your ministry if you come into alignment god will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing you don't have room enough to receive but god will not flow in confusion and discourse and chaos and bickering and murmuring and complaining he wants us in alignment he wants us in alignment we have to come into what the bible calls agreement which is alignment we have to come into agreement where we touch and agree when we touch and agree god says whatever we ask he said i'll do it because you're in alignment but if you have on against your brother leave your gift at the altar reconcile yourself with your brother and then come and ask me for it i will only do it when you're in oh you're with me tonight you're with me tonight i will only do it when you're in alignment so the enemy tricks you into fighting with each other and you feel like well at least i'm not fighting god but sometimes when you're fighting amongst yourselves you are fighting god's purpose in your life because god will not move and confuse it and the enemy wants to make you need to prove that you're stronger than somebody else at the detriment of your destiny sometimes what does it matter to win the battle if you're gonna lose the war y'all aren't going to talk to me i'll talk to them all what does it matter if you win the battle and lose the war you got the last word in but you forfeited your place of alignment look at what god tells hagar when the hangar gets mad at sarai and ups and leaves and she almost starves to death in the desert and god said i have given you provision in sarai's house go back to sarai and reconnect yourself in alignment your blessing is waiting for you in a particular place and you can't let your emotions move you out of alignment so that you miss your blessing i don't know but i feel like i'm talking to somebody i don't know who it is sometimes you got to humble yourself sometimes you got to swallow your pride because the blessing has already got an address on it and you've got to be at the right place at the right time to get what god has for you somebody shall bring me into alignment go to psalms 133 for a minute i'm going to show you what happened if you get into alignment glory to god how good and pleasant it is when god's people live together in unity it is like the precious oil look at that unity next word oil it is like the precious oil poured on the head running down on the beard running down on aaron's beard down on the collar of his robe it is like the dew of herman we're falling on mount zion for there the lord bestows his blessing even life evermore if you're the beard or the skirt of aaron all you have to do is be alive you don't have to be anointed just be in your place because when god anoints the head it's going to fall in alignment and everything that's in alignment is going to get that anointing and that's why the devil will try to move you out of your place and get you out of line because he sees what god is sending and what's going to flow into your life if you're in alignment and he doesn't want you to be in the right place and the lord sent me here to teach tonight to tell you this is the wrong time to move stand still and see the salvation of the lord when the oil hits the head if you're the beard this is the wrong time to move you want to be lined up with head so that you can flow and it will hit you without effort somebody shout is coming my way that's why i want the head to be blessed i want my leaders to be blessed because when i see the oil hit my the head of my leader if i'm lined up with leadership the same oil that's on the head will be on the beard will flow to the skirts it won't be diluted it won't be polluted it will be the same exact oil [Applause] bring me into alignment i want to be in alignment somebody shout alignment the creation in the book of genesis makes it really really clear it shows us the fruitfulness of alignment when the holy spirit comes into the chaotic world and begins to move on the chaotic world he does not say bring forth until he has alignment until he separated the firmaments above the waters from the firmaments that were beneath the waters until he's put boundaries on the seas until he's got structure and order and alignment and once he has alignment then he starts bringing fruit bring forth and all of a sudden fish begin to swim bring forth and birds begin to fly bring forth and grass begin to grow god cannot give you what you're praying for until you get in alignment he's not going to give you vegetables and mud he's not going to give you fruitfulness and chaos he's not going to give you fruitfulness where there are no boundaries the first thing the holy spirit does is bring alignment and then he commands fruitfulness to come out of alignment if it was true in genesis if it was true in gethsemane if it was true on calvary then it's true today if it was true in genesis if it was true in psalms it was if it was true on calvary if it's true in this text because god says to samuel go to bethlehem wait a minute he says i have a king i have found one after my heart the one you had was after your heart that was your will now i'm going to show you my wheel go to bethlehem this is very this text is so important i just wish i could teach good enough to make you understand how important this text is because when god says go to bethlehem samuel is moving from the will of the people to the will of god he's having a gethsemane moment and in order to have a gethsemane moment he has to move into alignment you can't get god to do it where you are go to bethlehem why does he want him to go to bethlehem old little town of bethlehem how still we see you live what is that oh no that's a christmas song oh yeah that's wrong time to say that or is it is this not a dress rehearsal is is this not a dress dress rehearsal is it a coincidence that god has said to samuel go down to bethlehem look at him bringing alignment because it's about bethlehem baby it's about bethlehem everybody's headed for bethlehem ruth is headed for bethlehem boaz is in bethlehem now samuel again says go down to bethlehem this is a shadow that whatever god's gonna do in the earth it's gonna mean that we gotta go to bethlehem because the glory of the lord is coming to bethlehem go down to bethlehem fill your horn with oil and go to bethlehem something is gonna happen in bethlehem it's always about bethlehem a little town on the outskirts of jerusalem not heavily populated not extremely wealthy not extremely impressive but god that needs you to be impressive with men to be impressive with god when god's got something for you he's going to do it in bethlehem you don't have to be in a big city he can do it in a small town you don't have to have a big house he can do it in your house you don't have to have a big name he can do it with your name when i came up preaching everybody was talking about everybody else nobody was talking about jake's nowhere nobody knew who jakes was but god will reach out into a little town in the hills of west virginia and get a no name boy that nobody was thinking about because when god gets ready to raise you up he doesn't need the people to help you they can all go to sleep but if god's got something for you go down to bethlehem i don't know who i'm talking to tonight but the holy spirit is coming into your bethlehem to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you may ask or things [Applause] go down get your horn of all and go down to bethlehem and all of a sudden now now look at this look at this it's good it's good look at this he he was weeping for saul being rejected as king but saul is still alive even though saul is alive he is mourning him as god because he's not gone when he goes he's gone when god says it [Applause] oh y'all don't hear what i'm saying he the bible says how long will you grieve how long will you mourn how long will you be upset he's talking about saul like he's dead and saul is so much in charge that samuel is afraid to go to bethlehem let saul hear about it so saul is alive physically but spiritually it's already done that's why i tell you calvary was settled in the garden of gethsemane you don't have to wait till you see it happen for it to be over when god told saul it was over it was over when jesus said yes not my will but thine be done calvary was settled in the garden the moment you say yes in your spirit it is already done go down down down down down you up too high go down go down go down to bethlehem it's about bethlehem bethlehem means a house of bread it's about the house of bread it literally means a house of bread over and over for the past few weeks i've been preaching texts that keep bringing us to bethlehem over and over we keep seeing ruth and naomi hid it for bethlehem are you hearing what i'm saying to you are you hearing what i'm saying to you we come to understand that rachel gives birth on the way to ephrata which is an old testament name for bethlehem and she burst benjamin she burst benjamin causing bononi on the way to bethlehem and the bible says they were just a little ways from ephrata when she gave birth to the child and gave up the ghost and they buried her on the way to bethlehem why does the holy spirit keep pulling us back to bethlehem arise and fill your horn with oil and go down to bethlehem something is about to happen and it's not going to happen where you're at there's a shift coming there's a shift there's a shift coming i hereby prophesy and declare there is a shift coming there's a move of glory there's a transition going on there's a shift from the house of saul to the house of david god is getting ready to do a new thing god is getting ready to start a new order someone said david wasn't even related to saul but god's gonna take something that's not even connected and raise it up and play you've been trying to make connections you don't need connections with nobody but god once you connect with god god's gonna get it done go down to bethlehem [Applause] and invite jesse to come out invite jesse and all of his sons to come out and to be a part of this and here saul goes with his horn filled with oil to anoint the next king of israel too anoint let me stop there too anoint the anointing doesn't come for your entertainment the anointing is for your enablement it all god anoints you to do something to say something to sing something to perform something to accomplish something god anoints you for his own purpose god is not anointing you so we can say didn't we have a time i danced out of my shoes we have been spilling the oil we've been spilling oil instead of directing the oil and the devils that are trying to take over your life instead of directing the oil to do spiritual warfare over the enemy and what he's trying to do in your life you've been just clapping your hands and dancing but when the anointing is real high that's the time to declare war on the enemy because the anointing is the enablement of god to empower you to rebuke cancer and demons and depression and suicide is broken somebody holler break it the anointing comes to work it comes to function it comes to do something it doesn't just come for your entertainment or for your enjoyment or for your sensations or for your titillation or for you to get goose pimples or for you to get chilled but whenever god sends an anointing in your life he is empowering you to do something he's bringing you to a place where you have power that is not your own for it's not my might nor about power but by my spirit oh i'm getting excited now i better stop whenever you see god send an anointing on you he's enabling you to do what you could not do in your own strength [Applause] the bible said that when the enemy roared the spirit of the lord came upon samson when the enemy roared the spirit of the lord came upon samson because samson and his own strength would have been defeat what would have allowed the philistines to defeat him the lion would have ate him for lunch but when the anointing came upon him it was a great equalizer when you are anointed you can take less and do more with it you can grab the jawbone of an ass and kill ten thousand philistines because you're annoyed all my anointed people make some noise in this place there's a reason you're logged in tonight there's a reason you're watching this bible class there's a reason that god is trying to teach you what he has anointed you for it's not about your title it's not so you can have some fancy cards it's not so that you get more doors open to preach it when the anointing has come upon you it's so that you can defeat the philistines it's so that you can feed 5 000 with two fish and five loaves of bread it's so that your hand full of meal doesn't run out when the anointing comes upon you god will make one pot of oil last till the famine is over i break every famine over your life i break it i break it oh god oh i gotta hold myself because i feel it i feel i feel it i feel it i feel it it's about to break up under the anointing of the holy ghost every curse every spell every bondage every trial every test it's about to break somebody throw your hands up and say anoint me lord glory to god glory to god glory to god glory to god all we need is the anointing of god he's stronger than kovid it's stronger than racism is stronger than crisis it's stronger than hatred it's stronger than malice it's stronger than envy is stronger than strife is stronger than your flesh the spirit is willing the flesh is weak the spirit is willing the flesh is weak greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world are you hearing what i'm saying to you look at somebody say something's about to happen in here i can feel it i can feel it i can feel it i can feel it i can feel it i can feel it i can feel it something is about to happen let's go deeper with this thing now samuel is going to bethlehem with his horn full of oil to anoint one of jesse's sons so that means samuel is carrying another man's anointing can god trust you [Applause] can god trust you with another man's anointing can god give you something and trust you not to use it on yourself can god let you carry another man's anointing this is david's anointing but it's in samuel's hand and god gave it to samuel because he could trust him to deliver the right anointing to the right place and god said he will not give you your own until you are first faithful to that which pertains to another man look it up it's in the word of god until you are faithful with another man's anointing god will not give you your own [Applause] look at your neighbor and say i've got something for you sometimes let's go deeper with this sometimes god will put somebody else's blessing in your pocketbook oh i lost him on that one [Applause] he will give it to you if he can get it through you now samuel gets to take a trip carrying another man's anointing because god trusts him god trust him i remember we were going through a struggle one time in this ministry and i told the lord i said if we're in trouble and we need something and i can do something to get us out i will do it whatever i got is yours my house is yours my car is yours my clothes are yours whatever's in my bank account is yours because when you met me i didn't have nothing naked came out into this world and naked i shall return and holy ghost i just want you to know my checkbook is yours my credit card is yours what my house is yours my car is your whatever you want anytime you want it anytime you need cause you just you just loaned it to me in the first place i'm gonna die and leave it here don't you know you don't have nothing everything you cared god gave it to you god gave you the oil god gave you the oil and said go down to bethlehem oh i feel like preaching take that organ off me because if you if you don't stop if you don't stop i feel like something's about to happen in this place sometimes god puts a healing for somebody else in your hands and you'll be anointed but when you find them and touch them they'll be healed by the power of god glory to god i'm carrying another man's anointing i'm carrying somebody's breakthrough i'm carrying somebody's healing i'm carrying somebody's deliverance i'm carrying somebody's help i'm carrying somebody's peace and carrying somebody's joy [Applause] so here comes samuel here comes samuel with an anointing for for a man he has not met and even though samuel is a prophet god's instructions are vague you've been saying lord as soon as i see my way clear i'm gonna move no god said i'm gonna send you to go with limited information i'm not going to tell you which one it is [Applause] can you obey me in the dark can you see through a glass darkly and still follow my word and let my word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway you know when david said thy word is a lamp unto my feet in those days they had ankle lamps so that when you travel that night there'd be enough light for you to see how to walk at night you couldn't see way down the road you could see just enough to make the next step and they call them ankle land that word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway you're trying to see way down the road but god's gonna light it up little by little step by step the steps of a good man are ordered by the lord who am i talking to right now [Applause] you're not going to see 10 years down the road you're going to see the next step and it's great a prophet as samuel was god did not give him details he knows to go down there and to invite jesse and his sons and jesse brings most of his sons and he he comes to elijah now let's let's watch this because this is where the holy spirit starts to give us more detail when he gets down there jesse brings elias his eldest son to be anointed and the bible goes out of his way to tell us that he loved was tall and striking and strong and he'd make a good-looking king they would almost not even know that that saul was gone because saul was tall the bible said he stood head and shoulders above every other man and you don't want to disappoint the people bringing in some little rut and here comes a liar jesse brings a lie about to be anointed and it fools samuel you can be a true prophet and make a bad decision samuel was a true prophet but he was ready to anoint the wrong man samuel says when he elim says he says surely the lord's anointed stands here before the lord and he was wrong because samuel was looking at how elia looked and i wondered to myself because elia later gives david trouble you remember that you remember when david goes down to fight goliath that elive is the same brother that gives him trouble and i wonder if there isn't a little bit of jealousy there [Applause] because when samuel lifted up the horn over elia's ahead the oil wouldn't flow i'm gonna make that clear in a minute the oil wouldn't flow because as as much as samuel is anointed the oil which is the type of the holy spirit is more intelligent than the prophet i'm going to say that again the oil is more intelligent than the prophet the prophet was ready to settle on a liar but elia would have broke the shadow elia would have ruined the genealogy elia would have thrown us off task it couldn't be just any one of jesse's sons it had to be the right one god is particular it's got to be done exactly the way god says do it it can't be what looks good to you for what seems right to you is wrong with god for man looks on the outward appearance but god was looking for a particular heart now i want to go into this that means god chooses us by our heart not our talent you've been working on your talent when you need to be working on your heart [Music] [Applause] god doesn't value talent like he values heart you're trying to speak to the people try loving the people you're trying to move the people with your voice but what will move the people is your heart [Music] god says i am not going to spend my anointing on someone whose heart is not turned toward me i found a man who is after my heart didn't mean that david was perfect didn't mean that he was holy didn't mean that he didn't make mistakes but it meant that david was a god chaser it meant that david would wake up early in the morning and sing songs to god up in the fields by himself that david would write poetry to god like he was a lover and god said i'm going to make you a king not because you were raised up in a palace not because you went to the right school i'm gonna make you a king because you're after me you're chasing me you're wooing me god said if i find somebody that's after my heart i will promote them are there any god chasers in the house i believe you're a god chaser i believe your god you're out here on a wednesday night i know you're a god chaser you wouldn't come out on a wednesday night after working all day if you weren't chasing something from god and the god is looking at the chase [Applause] you're watching me online god is looking at the how do you chase him god says seek me while i may be found call ye upon me while i'm yet near god is watching your pursuit of him are you in pursuit of him or are you sitting back waiting on him to chase you god made david king because david was dating god pursuing god writing songs to god writing poetry to god dancing in the mountains where nobody could see david was trying oh y'all don't hear what i'm saying see there's something about being a god chaser and you're sitting up here with your legs crossed and your lips sealed but god is watching you chase him when you get after his heart i'm after his heart i'm after his heart god said i found a man whose only qualification his only qualification he said he's after my heart so he brought elia but it wasn't alive and he brought a benedict and it wouldn't have been a dad and he brought shama and it wasn't sharma and he brought all seven of his sons and it wasn't any of them how do you know it wasn't any of them because the oil wouldn't flow now let's let's let's this this is where we get back into this horn the horn of oil was designed what caused the oil to stay in the horn is that they put wax in the bottom of the horn so that it would hold the oil and until the wax melted the oil wouldn't flow and they held the horn over elias head but he didn't have enough glory to melt the wax they brought a bit of dab but he didn't have enough glory to melt the wax they brought sharma he didn't have enough glory to melt the wax and and all of a sudden the prophet said you got to have another son you got to have another son you got to have somebody else now they have gone through seven that is a completion seven is the number of completeness that means that david coming is number eight meaning god is about to do a new thing the former things are passed away and all things are about to be new glory to god if you haven't gotten it by number seven it's a sign that god's gonna do something with number eight god is about to do a new thing shout out to hallelujah give me give me just 30 seconds of praise right [Applause] now [Applause] that was nice but praising for something new praising for something you haven't seen yet praising for something that's about to blow your mind praising for something that's out of sequence praising for something fresh praying for something that seems impossible god is about to do a new thing who knows if you praise him right tonight you might melt some wax if you praised him tonight you might melt the wax that's stopping the glory for the season that you're in right now i'm gonna give you another chance to melt some wax until the oil begins to flow somebody praises somebody praise it somebody praises anybody praises everybody praises let everything that have breath [Music] [Applause] yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes i'm not praising him to impress you i'm not praising him to make me look spiritual i'm trying to make melt this wax this thing that's stopping me from getting what god has for me i gotta melt this wax so i can get up under a flow so the anointing of god can destroy the yoke i don't care what i look like i don't care what i got on i don't care how you make fun of me i don't care what they say about me i don't care what they type about me i don't care what they think about me i gotta melt this white if i melt this wax god will open up the windows of heaven and pull me out of blood all i care about all i care about all i care about all i care about [Applause] [Music] there's been a restriction there's been a restriction in your life that you're close to it but you can't get into it and every time you get close to it you can't seem to melt the wax but god said for somebody tonight that wax is about to melt in your life and you're coming into a flow like you've never seen before and god's gonna do a new thing in your life whoever it is claim it for yourself right now [Applause] type of the line i gotta melt this wax type it on the line i gotta melt this wax i gotta melt this wax i gotta melt this wax i gotta melt this wax i gotta melt this wax i gotta melt this watch i gotta melt it i gotta melt it if it takes all night i'm not gonna sit down to the melting i'm not gonna rest till i melt it i'm not gonna eat until i melt it i'm not gonna stop till i melt it if i mess up my makeup i'm gonna melt this wax if i mess up my hair i'm gonna melt this wax if i run around this couch i'm gonna melt this white i'm not gonna stop till i melt i'm not gonna stop till i build i'm not gonna stop till i melt every restriction every limitation every hindrance it's time for you to go [Music] so let's sit outside i'm sitting outside today i got to go further i got to go further oh my god oh my god oh my god i feel that's that glory we had sunday morning i feel it's sitting in here right now i feel it's sitting in here right now i hope you can feel it online the anointing of the lord is on this word right now i want you to receive it i want you to understand jesse has brought seven of his sons but one of them is out of alignment he said you got to have somebody else somebody's not here somebody's missed the line he said well there is that boy over in the field he's kind of weird dancing around singing songs can't see nobody here up here on the hill [Music] he's kind of weird i didn't want to bring him down he said is he your son bring him down and they brought little david little ruddy young david him david has a legacy of being underestimated [Applause] is there anybody in here that has a legacy of being underestimated and and when you come into the room they say here god always uses people that are underestimated you remember what goliath said about it he said am i a dog that you would send this boy down here with rocks after me this is david being anointed and he comes down smelling like sheep dung all raggedy and young and short ill prepared not qualified not trained only thing he's ever been around was sheep he didn't know protocol for the palace he didn't know anything about warfare the elia was a soldier was a shepherd boy god made a king out of a shepherd boy but the shepherd boy in order to find out who he was had to come down to bethlehem he had to bring david to the place there could be no flow until there was alignment as as much as god had in store for david and as much as david was dancing on the mountains god would not anoint him out of place see there's as much glory on being in the right place as there is having the right attitude david had the right attitude but he had to have the right alignment god would not send the oil to david david had to come to the oil now he says samuel says i will not rest until he comes into alignment what is god waiting on you to do or move in order for you to come into alignment do you really think that you could stay out there on the heels out of alignment and just because you write poetry and sing songs that god will change the place to resolve the problem you have to come down to the place because your being in bethlehem is prophetic for thousands of years are predicated on you coming into alignment this oil is bigger than your head this is not about you this is about what is going to come through you let me break this down you are not being attacked about you it's what's going to come through you the enemy knows that when you come into alignment your children's children's children children are going to be affected by you coming into alignment and samuel said i cannot rest until david comes into alignment david coming down out of the mountains down to stand in bethlehem he is to stand where jesus is to be born he had to be in that place or they all wouldn't flow this is bigger than his promotion this is his prophecy this is his destiny this is his legacy it is not just about the man it is also about the place david comes to bethlehem so that when joseph later was carrying mary down the road pregnant he god meant for them to get tired in bethlehem because bethlehem was the place where david was to be anointed where jesus was to be born where the wise men were to recognize the king the real king of kings and the lord of lords of which david is just a shadow and jesus is to be called the son of david and so they had to be in the right place at the right time they're thousands of years apart but it's still the right place and the right do you hear the words that are coming out of my [Applause] mouth and when david comes down with his little bitty self and he smell himself and his untrained unprepared self with no experience and no training to be king when samuel held up the horn the wax melted and the oil flowed it flowed down upon the head of david that oil flowed down through david's sons it's flowed down through generations that all flowed all the way down to jesus jesus christ christmas the anointed one christ means the anointed one david is acting out what jesus is this bible class come on this bible class it's not sunday morning this bible class so when david comes to bethlehem he he is giving us a shadow of the of the messiah of the king of israel the real king of which david is just a shadow but he had to do it in bethlehem because mary's water was going to break in bethlehem the wax melted in bethlehem her water broke in bethlehem y'all don't hear what i'm saying i'm gonna go find somebody i can teach this to that can get what i'm saying everything breaks loose when you get in the right place it ain't no accident her water didn't break loose nowhere else when she got to bethlehem she said oh joseph i can't go no further the baby is coming the baby is coming any pregnant woman to tell you that the sign of the baby coming is the water breaking her water broke and the same way that that wax melted and both of them are kings oh y'all don't hear what i'm saying do you get it are you with me are you with me are you with me can you hear me do you feel it something's about to break in your life and if it breaks in your life it's gonna break in your grandson's life if it breaks in your life oh god generational curses are going to be broken in your life shout yes watch this and i'm almost finished i'm almost ready to go i feel kind of good in my soul i'm trying to keep this on the bible class level but i feel i fee i feel i feel i feel i feel a i feel i feel i feel a flow i feel a flow i feel a flow i feel a flow everything in god is about a flow it's about a flow it's about a flow there is a fountain filled with blood there's always a flow a flow a flow the spirit flows so the wax melted the oil flows it doesn't just anoint david it anoints prophetically all the way down to jesus becoming the christ the anointed one are you watching what i'm saying to you so when they bring david down this is not just history this is destiny the wax melts because he is the one he is the one he is the only one the holy spirit knows him the holy spirit moves everything out the way that's in between david's head and the anointing it's got to go when it is your time it is your time and everything in the way has got to melt out of the way the holy spirit knows what god has for you is for you you don't have to fight nobody you don't have to argue with nobody you don't have to be jealous of nobody this is yours here it comes this is yours are you ready here it comes this is yours are you ready here it comes this is yours are you ready here it comes this is yours this is a release coming down from glory here it comes here it comes here it comes this is yours this is your prophetic word anointed alignment watch this the oil hit the head of david and from that point forward house of saul grows weaker and weaker and the house of david grows stronger and stronger that that is of the flesh grows weaker and weaker while that that is of the spirit grows stronger and stronger it is not that your flesh is dead you're reckoning it to be dead it's not dead it's not that you don't still like whatever you used to like it's not like you don't crave whatever you used to crave it's just that you don't crave it like you used to crave it because the house of saul is getting weaker and weaker i i know you gotta act like you don't know what i'm talking about because you can't act like you you can't let the saints know that you still got some issues that are still walking around in the palace think they're in charge but the shift has happened and the more you get up under the anointing the house of saul is getting weaker and weaker and the house of david is getting stronger and stronger and it does not yet appear what you shall be but in just a moment they're gonna see you standing in your glory because your soul is getting weaker somebody praise god my soul is getting weaker [Music] my soul is getting weaker my issue is getting weaker my struggle is getting weaker my temper is getting weaker my flesh is getting weaker my flesh is getting weaker the house of saul is growing weaker and weaker and the house of david is growing stronger david goes back out to take care of the sheep it doesn't matter anymore where he is because the oil has flowed it will not stop the transfer from that day forward years before he was made king officially it was going to happen it was just a matter of time saul ends up dying david ends up king because of one thing anointed and alignment years ago before i was ever thought about no one recognized anything at all a prophet in new york prophesied to the 50 states and when he got to west virginia he prophesied to west virginia and he said oh west virginia hear ye the words of the lord out of the heels of west virginia shall come a prophet out of the heels of west virginia he shall shake the nations he shall shake the world see god is going to so highly exalted that the saints will have to pray and get behind him because this prophet is going to come up so high that it is going to boggle their mind i'm translating it a little bit but that's basically what the prophecy said well my people weren't even in west virginia my people my mother's from alabama my daddy's from mississippi they only went to west virginia to do a temporary job when they got to west virginia my mother fell in love with the mountains and she took she called my daddy earned herself she said ernesto i want to stay up here in the mountains because i love these beautiful mountains none of her sisters lived there none of her brothers lived there we had no relatives there and all of a sudden she's in love with the mountains while she's in love with the mountains and birthing me and my sister my brother was born in mississippi while she was birthing us the prophet is prophesying and the shift is occurring and i'm coming into alignment to be in a particular place at a particular time to fulfill a word that i grew into how there's a word coming that you're going to have to grow into you're going to have to shift into you're going to have to move into and god is setting you up setting you up for a new thing and in order for it to happen we had to be in west virginia so when they finished my father worked for nashville stone setting company when they finished building the building he stayed he had no job and he stayed in west virginia with no relatives picking up jobs wherever he could because my mother refused to leave you you see how god will do things to strategically put you in a particular place at a particular time for something you don't even understand so when my mother had me i was born in between two dead babies the baby before me died the baby after me died i lived when my mother had me i was born with a veil over my face a lady came down to see me and she said to my mother oh look he has a veil over his face you know how old folks are she said he's a prophet [Applause] she didn't know anything about what the other prophet had said all she knew is that she looked over in my crib and she saw a prophet my mother saw a baby she saw a prophet a prophet in west virginia [Applause] type on the line the shift is on the shift is on the shift is going to put it in your notes the shift is on the shift is on stop asking questions just go with the flow just go with the flow stop ask a question stop asking god to explain stuff stop trying to see everything the shift is on the shift is always god said bethlehem it's bethlehem if god says stand up stand up if god said praise him praise him if god says so so if god said give give if god said pray pray whatever god says that's what you do because you've got to come into alignment if you come into alignment it doesn't matter what people are saying it doesn't matter what people think about it you've got to come into alignment so that the wax is melting and the water is breaking you got to come into alignment because destiny depends on what on your next move anointed alignment there are some of you right now the holy spirit is speaking to you he's telling you to do something or go somewhere or move or step into his will some of you he's challenging you to give or to sow or to plan and step into its will don't argue back this is the eighth son god's going to do a new thing the former things have passed away all the seven suns have gone past this is going to be done by the eighth sun the eighth sun is a new beginning somebody shout new beginnings a new beginning is coming into your life a new order a new hierarchy is coming in your life and you have to be in alignment for the oil to flow and samuel wouldn't even sit down till david came into alignment you are the one you are the one obey what the holy spirit is saying and there they offered up sacrifice to god and there they worship god and david is greasy with anointing a horn of oil is enough oil to run down your head down your face get in your clothes drop down to the floor it wasn't a little cross on his forehead he was drenched god is getting ready to drench you yes in supernatural power and enablement and glory and power and action and authority for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever amen this is divine authority as we close tonight god is moving in divine authority to bring about alignment in your life for his own purpose for his own purpose for his own purpose for his own purpose i dare you to obey the holy spirit right now i dare you to obey the holy spirit i dare you to obey the holy spirit god is going to bring you from obscurity to notoriety from the background to the forefront the very one they rejected the very one they said would never be nothing god is bringing you into alignment it will not be long that you're gonna meet somebody you're gonna be in the right place at the right time they're carrying your oil they're carrying your oil they're carrying your oil they're coming to you with what you need they think you're a shepherd boy but you're a king in disguise who am i talking to obey him are him obey him obey him obey him obey him obey him obey him obey him that's what's wrong with our services we're too much alike everybody dancing at the same time everybody doing this and that at the same time let me tell you when the glory of god starts moving somebody will be dancing and somebody will be laying prostrate on the floor somebody will be kneeling at their seat and somebody had their hands up when the spirit of god moves is nothing for you to do but obey him i'm coming into alignment i'm coming into alignment i'm coming into alignment i'm coming into alignment i'm coming into alignment i've got to move into the place that the oil is flowing i've got to move into it now you don't have law you don't have law you don't have law you don't have law you don't have law if the holy spirit is speaking to you about alignment right now whatever god says do do it now the anointing is on this moment the oil will flow the moment you obey him if you got a soul soul if you got to sing sing if you got to cry cry if you got a crawl crawl whatever god whatever god said whatever whatever god said dude i got to be an alignment i don't have time to have unforgiveness i got to be in alignment i don't have time to get even i got to be in
