Becoming a Produce-her | Touré Roberts

before I go any further I want to just pause and can we just honor the queen of this conference pastor Sara James Roberts she's she's not just the queen of this conference petal she's la reina me chorus aw la manna de Luca a song hallelujah she's the queen of my heart let's make some noise for Pastor Sarah we love you so much what a gift you are to this world and I thank god you're born our leaders are here can we honor and celebrate Bishop TD and First Lady Serita Jake's every leader needs a leader and was so grateful for them and the way that they lead and I got not just my leaders but they're there they're my parents I've got extra parents in them and I the weak you know our relationship my relationship with my father in love and my mother in love defies every in-law lie every in-law maybe even a reality for some it defies all of that it's been beautiful from the very beginning come on somebody how many of us know when God is in something come on us that's why you want you want to let God orchestrates your marriage and your relationships and all those sort of things I've got something that I want to do always like to give gifts first of all let me tell you I get nervous when I speak in front of a bunch of women uh yeah both of our campuses are multiple thousands of members but when I speak to a crowd that is predominantly women I get nervous and the reason why I get nervous is because I actually think that I understand who you are and I find it a real honor and a privilege to be entrusted with the message that speaks to the identity of a woman I take it very seriously because I don't think there's anything more beautiful and anything more glorious than a woman flourishing and who she's called to be come on somebody it's the truth there's nothing in fact the man's job the man's job is to facilitate that flourishing that is our job if God look at just stay wait for a second but but but if God if we look at scripture it can be argued theologically that God unfolds significance as it relates to creation he unfolds significance via sequence he starts with with everything that is non-human and then he ends with humankind and then when we thought that was done then there humankind had another dimension and that final dimension which was the capstone of creation was the woman a man's job from the very beginning was to be a steward of the environment that causes the woman to flourish that's our job that's why even like in salsa and pastor Hosea can probably just I can probably help me with this but but even in salsa like if you ever see a man and a woman do a salsa and and the man is out doing the woman he missed the whole point because the whole job he is supposed to use his moves to accentuate her come on somebody so that she can look as beautiful as she's designed to be anybody want a real man come on somebody I don't want you to settle because I believe and I watch this I believe that God is raising up a generation of men that are gonna see honor but I feel the Spirit of God that are gonna see you right that are gonna love you right that will understand see we're getting back to identity we're getting back to our callings we're getting back see Adam oh god I'm not supposed to be preaching already I've got stuff to do see let me tell you what happened with Adam and Eve let me just tell you what happened really quickly really quickly because because everybody gets on Eve right because Eve had the encounter with the serpent right now watch this Eve was being assertive because she was created to be you got to catch this she wasn't being out of order out of line God created the woman to be assertive the problem was Adam actually didn't do his job because because he was supposed to manage that assertiveness he was gonna say baby now you got a lot in you you got a lot to birth you got a lot to produce but but since I was here before you got here let me give you perspective on the world that you're being called to do business and I'm gonna give you perspective I'm not gonna diminish you I'm not gonna hold you back I'm not gonna decrease you what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna come alongside of you and I'm gonna give you some perspective and I'm gonna give you some parameters I'm not trying to control you baby together we go we gonna win together so let me give you watch this let me give you perspective let me give you parameters and let me give you prophecy because the real one that God has for you will have insight and wisdom concerning you that was for free just just take notes of that that was for free here's the thing we got all different types of people and of all different types of socio-economic background here's the truth if you got a hunt it and you don't need it and you know it then I want you to take that hundred I want you to sowed in somebody's life right and if somebody sold it into your life and you don't need it I want you to pay it forward and sew it into come on somebody because we gonna get a promise to somebody we we're gonna get a blessing to somebody are you tracking with me alright alright alright alright Genesis chapter 1 and if you have a difficult time finally Genesis chapter 1 come up to the altar for prayer I'm gonna read Genesis 1:1 through 2 and I'm gonna read verses 9 through 12 my kids are here too all my kids are here they're working all my kids my daughter is singing my sons are working in the in the various capacities in the cafe and everything is just amazing this is a god thing everybody that can work works my daughter my daughter mackynzie was working doing some stuff I just I just think God how many of us know if you get saved then you just stick with it and you keep praying and you keep a line and God will bless and save your whole house no blessing to save your whole house Genesis 1:1 through 2 then I'll skip down to verse 9 through 12 and then we're going to go to proverbs chapter 34 Irene verse three and four there and it will go to Luke chapter two verse 52 here we go that's a lotta I'll tie it all together I promise if you pray for me in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters there was nothing there at first except the Spirit hovering can I just give you something for free sometimes something looks like nothing and you might be in a situation where where you are believing God for a transformation you're believing God for manifestation and you'll find yourself in any moment of upgrade you will find yourself where it seems like you have nothing and I want you to know I want you to hear this clearly no matter where you are no matter what you're going through and maybe a devoid of strength it may be devoid a resource it may be devoid of something that you need something that you need and I hear God saying no matter where you are what you're going through my spirit is hovering over you Basia my spirit the spirit the spirit the Spirit of God hovers over empty places the Spirit of God hovers over void places that fear to God Hubbard's hovers over that which has no form because the Spirit of God is going to brief form into those things are you tracking with me sometimes you have vision but you have no form and you're trying to figure out how will this ever be what God showed me and I hear God's saying it's not going to happen by your own mind it's not gonna happen by your own strip it's gonna happen by the Spirit of God it's gonna happen by the breath of the Living Savior and God is hovering me - hallelujah and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters then God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear and it was so that's important I'm gonna come back to that later then God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place and that the dry land appear and it was so God said it and it was so he said it was so and then verse 10 it says and God called the dry land earth so God said ultimately let the earth be and it was so and the gathering together of the waters he called seas and God saw that it was good in verse 11 it says then God said let the earth bring forth let it bring forth let the earth bring forth the herb that yields seed and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind whose seed is in itself on the earth and it was so a whole lot of salt God said and everything God says is so right but then in verse 12 it gets even a little more interesting and said then the earth brought forth so when God said it it was so but then and it says and the earth brought forth they brought forth and the earth brought forth grass that yields the seeds seed according to its kind in a tree that yields fruit whose seed is in itself according to its kind and God saw that it was good so when I said it it was so but when it was brought forth that's when it became good just we're gonna put a bookmark in that proverbs chapter 24 verse 3 and 4 the Bible says through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches Luke 2:52 and Jesus increased in wisdom in stature and in favor with God and man our thought for today we're going to go on a journey based on this thought today our thought is becoming a producer come on somebody tell your neighbor I'm a producer I'm a producer come on come on say it like you mean it I'm a producer I'm a producer I'm a producer if you are able to and if you don't mind grab your neighbors hand if you don't want to that's cool with it because sometimes is it like that you don't I mean that's okay just touch him nod and let them know you're in agreement but if you can grab their hand nobody's judging either way spirit of the Living God we honor you we bless you we acknowledge that we can do nothing without you nothing moves outside of your spirit and so God even as I touch my neighbor's hand right now I'm putting my knees to the side just for a moment and I'm asking Holy Spirit that you would touch my neighbor right now God some have come from a long way for this touch and so god I pray even in this moment right now that you would be that you would allow me to be your touch in my neighbour's life lord I thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight and knowledge and prophecy and full use of heavens resources to bring words not just one word but words God words may your words flow to every heart and mind under the sound of my voice here are watching via livestream Holy Spirit just flow and just communicate trews trews that break down every lie choose that break yokes truths that heal God truths that enlighten the eyes throughs God that causes the eyes of our understanding to be enlightened to the extent that none of us would ever be the same again men and women boys and girls who was whoever is under the sound of my voice may they get something God that changes their lives radically and the matchless name of Jesus we pray amen amen do me a favor give God a shout high-five your neighbor high-five your neighbor and you may be seated as the spirit of God leads you hallelujah glory to God I feel something happening in here I've got to tell you something that happened to me recently I've got to tell you something that happened to me recently recently I was in a very successful person's home and I had the privilege a wildly accessible successful human being I had the privilege of being in their home and and their home was amazing it was a sprawling estate and and the art in the home was absolutely incredible expensive incredible and amazing and just just wonderful and and and you walked through the home and there are these artifacts of the goodness of God and all these artifacts of opulent sin and there were awards and and various things that really said that this is a life well-lived than a and a life of great accomplishment achievement and success it was amazing and I was just looking at the house and I'm marveled at the house and I marveled at the yard and I marveled at all those things and then all of a sudden I stopped looking at the things and I started looking at the person because and I know it was by the Spirit of the Lord because as I sat there and I looked at the person I realize that everything that was outside of him was in him I got to say that better I got to say that better so you can get it at first I'm marveled at what was outside of him what he had amassed but then all of a sudden my focus was redirected from the stuff to the man because the Lord just showed me that that all those things that you see were actually in him he just found a way to get out of him what was in him oh you're gonna get it today he go you are gonna get it you're gonna get it today I'm gonna get this fly today - and I hate flies I don't know the devil is angry belzebub Lord of the Flies I bind you rebuke you hit the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ you will not distract me ignore them your sons and daughters your daughters in particular are going to get this word from heaven it's gonna be absolutely wonderful and life-changing they're gonna say through God I can run through troops and leap over a wall if that's your testimony if you're not leaving here empty if you gonna lay hold of everything for which God has laid hold on you let me eat your best shot [Applause] hallelujah come on somebody we in passed the saris conference we don't blame with no devils and demons come on somebody cuz I look I got a bruised heel too in Jesus name come on somebody we gotta eat them snakes if you get one of them snakes I want you to if you find one we wanted snakes I just want to put it under my foot in front of the people today glory to God I looked I stopped looking at the stuff and then I looked at the man and it was like the Holy Spirit said that is a large individual oh I feel it right there that's a large person some of you are bigger than you think you are you have more in you than you know and I'm convinced that this gentleman and even like the Oprah's of the world and even like the sayers of the world I'm convinced that they didn't always know what was there but throughout their journey they got inspired a little bit and dared to act and to move on that inspiration I stopped looking at the stuff and I looked at him and I said who are you because all the things that I saw came out of him over the course of his life are we tracking together does turn to neighbors say I'm a producer I'm a producer I'm a producer they learned this is what the great people share in common I'm talking my people who are great in God somehow someway they learned how to get what was in them now here's the crazy thing you and I were created to bring forth that that is the natural order of what it means to be a human being a human being literally has been designed to bring forth let's go to Genesis let's go back Genesis you don't get this you don't get this you get this you get this in Genesis when it says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was formed and without boy when we skip down to verse 9 what you're going to see that is pretty interesting is that we're going to see the male and female attributes of God on display before God even uses the word male or female y'all stay with me watch this i'ma show you male and i'ma show you female what we know just based on Anatomy is the man is the initiator he's initiated we just as there's no sexual okay he don't get quiet on me because that's not a foreign topic to two or three of you in your glory to God the most of that I know judgment this is called humanity okay look at me all funny don't do that yeah I start prophesied over you just you know but even as it relates to intercourse the man is the initiator right even even his sperm and he initiates what will be produced so the male aspect of God is going to be good today the male aspect of God is that which initiates starts or begins the female aspect of God is she brings forth hmm you understand what I'm saying so so so the natural educates us on the spiritual so so what's interesting about God is we call God he but really God is just as much she as God is e y'all not ready for that you church folks ain't ready without you ready for that he says let us make man in our image and in our likeness and then we looked up and he causes meant mankind to be male and female so the likeness of God is not male and the likeness of God is not female the likeness of God is both you now ready you ain't ready so when we we get caught up in semantics because because if we were created the image of God and the image of God expressly is male and female how do we shift in to become he God does not have he parts he is spirit which means that there is a spiritual aspect of God that relates to male and a spiritual aspect of God that relates to female and that's why when the manifestation of man was just man God said that ain't good is it anything good that's that's not fullness are you tracking with me and so right there in the text I think what's amazing is we're going to see male and female via the idea of initiator versus produce her before we even go male and female we see it in verse nine he says then God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appeared God says this right and it was so so when God says something it is so that is the initiation male and then when we jump down to verse 12 and it says then the earth brought forth grass etc that is the female can I talk to you like this we don't go on the journey there I promise this won't bless your life but I want to lay some some groundwork there are you tracking with me so so God is that male aspect of God is to start something but the amazing thing is what God starts is established there's a passage of scripture that says that God's Word is settled in heaven what we have to do is learn how to get what is settled in heaven into the earth realm so you see God has said something about you but you're trying to figure it out it says and God said and when God said it it was so but there was a process to bring it forth and so what in you what you and I are doing as we live out this life is we are trying to wrap our minds around what God said about me God what are you what did you say about me that I don't know about me I'm trying to figure myself out because if I'm alive and I'm breathing that means that I need to steal I still got some producing in me that word bring forth when it says in the earth brought forth it's only used two times in the Bible there and in Joel 2 in the context of restoration and I just want to slide in there inspiration to two or three people in this room right now there's a restoration coming to about two or three people in here right now and it's going to happen through your ability to become a producer I came to shake some stuff loose today because you are a producer that's who you're called to be and I must show you my garlic how to produce something anybody come to get pregnant in this house today anybody come to get stirred up you believe that there's something on the inside of you and you want it to come out come on somebody anybody's baby leapin since this conference started you've been feeling bumps in your womb not in your womb checking in your the baby is coming the baby I feel it the baby is coming the baby is coming we didn't come here to inspire you we came here to impregnate you the baby is coming come there's some things in you and it is natural what's this it's natural for you to produce and unnatural for you to not it is I want you to see this right because I didn't come to teach you how to produce I came to show you how to not not produce because the natural flow God said earth do this boom and the earth did it that is the natural flow you are supposed to naturally produce but the thing that the earth had the thing that you have that the earth didn't have was an element of sabotage the earth didn't have contention you have you have contention the earth that the earth that the time had it easier than you have it and now you have to overcome the things that sabotage fill the Lord you gotta you gotta you got to overcome something but but understand that watch this you're supposed to bring things forth that the baby process is beautiful as amazing as that is is again the natural pointing to the spiritual you supposed to birth stuff that that until you die I bet the great I bet I'm just thinking about over right now but but I like Sarah more I saw me you Sarah I just like I bet that every once in a while when she looks around and she looks at her life and she's just getting started this is just gonna start but even still but even still I bet every once in awhile she looks around and she looks at her life as she looks at how God has blessed her I bet I bet every once in a while she does two things one marvels at the fact that that was in her but then marvels at what yet what may steal beyond in the side of her see this thing gets good watch this when you learn how to not not produce when you learn how to overcome the things that keep you from not producing it is not trying to figure out how to produce I promise you that's not it that's the wrong class you will naturally produce when you get a line with God and when you discover the things that hinder what should be natural can I go deeper can I go further that's where song or proverbs rather 24 comes in proverbs 24 I love this I think that this is a proverb about life he's talking about a house but in the scripture of the house is oftentimes used to describe a life or family and so I want you to I want you to see this because I believe this proverb is about life but but even more specifically it's about how our lives are supposed to evolve and what happens when they do there is this evolution that's supposed to take place in our lives and I believe that that this evolution that proverbs 24 and 3 is going to talk about is going to show you how to combat not non-producing let's go for it so if we go back to Psalm or two prior keep saying Psalm 24 what is Psalm 24 say I make a look at it later maybe that's what somebody you read it that'd be your homework you just read and memorize Psalm 24 and let it let it bless you Psalm 24 and I keep doing it how am i messing around put it up there in a minute I'm curious bring me some water proverbs 24 and three it says by wisdom a house is built we're talking about identifying the sabotages overcoming the things that keep us from producing if I can overcome what keeps me from producing our produce naturally you don't have to get permission to age you just naturally age come on somebody you don't have to get permission to grow older you just grow older you don't have to get the gray does not have to get permission to show up in your head it just does it just it does and so so I believe that when we get aligned and when we learn to overcome the things that keep us from producing there's going to be a natural evolution that will bring us to a place of constant and consistent production tell your neighbor again I'm a producer so it starts off with wisdom it says that wisdom builds the house now here's a reason why I believe that that the the great wise Solomon is talking about wisdom first because I think that the chief sabotager of Destiny is ignorance it's ignorance you you just don't know who you are and as long as you don't know who you are you can never pursue or even qualify what belongs to you and I'll tell you right now I'll tell you right now even as it relates to to ignorance one of the the chief culprits of ignorance is environment can I take my time the environment let me tell you something the the the lack of exposure is lethal it is absolutely lethal because in some environments you will never be told who you are are you tracking with me that this is a real real big thing it's such a big thing that when God is getting ready to shape Abraham when he's getting ready to put his hands on him and lead him into destiny what he's getting ready to do that the first thing that he tells Abraham is imma need you to get up out of your father's house the first thing he does is he challenges Abraham to change his environment that's why I'm so glad a few thousand of you came to Denver Colorado I believe that that sometimes in your own environment you don't get to hear who you are come on somebody it's the same stuff different day you got a whole bunch of people that think that they know you but they don't know you they think that you're like them but you're not like them because if you would like them they'd be sitting next to you got to shift the environment because I'm gonna be straight up with you some of you are too big for the environment that you're trying to grow in I'm just gonna be honest with you I'm just gonna be honest with you and it doesn't mean you're better than anybody we're mature it is not that it has nothing to do with that it just has to do with your capacity and the capacity of the environment I can't grow beyond my environment come on somebody so you gotta get out of your father's house and away from your country this is what God tells Abraham he says he says get out of your father's house and from your country and from your kinfolk sometimes he says unto a land that I will show you and he says and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bless you and I'm gonna make your knife field God I'm gonna make your name great some things are not gonna happen until you are big enough and bad enough and bold enough to make them go I figure make a move make a move my whole life I've been making moves my whole every upgrade of my life had to do with the move that I made where my people you say you know what I'm determined to produce something and if I've got to move in order to do it i'ma move [Applause] environments let me tell you some um be straight up with you and our churches we have members but I don't do members membership is not a requirement and one of the reasons for me while wisdom is not a requirement or scuse me membership is not a requirement is because if you got to go I don't want you to think that you have to come and get my permission [Music] good good Reverend can if you don't mind I uh I didn't need you to release me would you mind can you just wait a minute if God called you [Applause] leave right but leave I don't want to hear if God wants your sake my whole ship come on Jonah it's not called you to go you better go and if you stay too long there's gonna be trouble are you tracking with me I don't want you good to have to come and get permission from me Who am I if God called you I'll bless you I'll anoint you might put some money in your hands but you better go sink my ship I'll be wondering what's going on lot of money is funny on this kind of stuff go environment will keep you ignorant someone you had to come all the way to Denver Colorado to get a word about who you are but I think godless I'm hungry women in the house of God I'll go to the ends of the earth to find myself if you call me where my desperate people you say God I need to find myself [Applause] [Music] can I do anything for it I'm desperate to find me if I gotta go to Timbuktu to get a word do you go there how bad do you want it come on somebody I want to feel your hunger how bad do you wanna know how bad do you wanna know who you are come on somebody like I see some opossum all that's in here saying forget reaching forward it already stopped pressing toward the mark I came to the mountains to give my word come on somebody I can to the high place to give my word because I've got too big around Hey of that which God has laid hold on me has God laid hold on anybody in here I'm trying to grasp what I've been grasp for [Applause] trying to grasp it Who am I because if I don't know who I am I cannot be a producer [Applause] I'll make the change I'll make the shift I'll leave the job I'll start the business I'll make the move I'll take the step of faith I'll shake loose the crew that brings out the worst in me I don't want to be a freak no more I don't want to be a fool no mo that's better I don't want to be that anymore watch this I don't want to be afraid anymore I don't want to bow the knee to idols anymore I don't want to do that anymore I want to be everything that God has created me to be wisdom builds the house because wisdom combats ignorance and ignorance will get you someone you simply put it washes and ignorance is not a cuss word Paul wrote I would that you would not be ignorant ignorance is actually normal at first ignorance means without knowledge one of the reasons why you got to shake your environment sometimes is because we just pass all knowledge the same knowledge we regurgitate and recirculate the same old knowledge the same old songs the same old stuff and all that's wonderful but you just got to know that it will keep you trapped in that subculture that's why we switch up the music come on somebody will go from Hillsong the God's gonna turn it around on you the lack of exposure is lethal it's nothing to play with and that's why he told Abraham to get out of his father's house I didn't mean to go there with that some environments I know I said it but I said it when I was happy I want you to get this some environments aren't big enough to manifest you're big they're too small sometimes what's in you is too big for what you're in did you understand what I said sometimes what is in you is too big for what you are in that's why environment is everything because I cannot become in an environment that does not have the capacity for me and so you've got to break out you got to break out and so wisdom is critical but wisdom is just the beginning it's as a relates to the evolution of a life wisdom is just the start that's why I said it says wisdom builds the house and then it goes on and talked about two other phases wisdom if you're taking those wisdom wisdom is just the priming of potentiality it is just the crowning of it it is the priming of it it is it is just the beginning that you've got to have it you can't build your life without wisdom but it is just the beginning wisdom will start you but it won't take you all the way there or we track it together some of you have built your house it's to start it's a wonderful start your eyes are open you you realize it's your time you've heard the call you plugged into to woman Eve all but before that you were plugged in a woman Thou Art Loosed hello somebody so your house is being built but now you have to actually evolve and that's where the real works begin because there's another level after wisdom wisdom builds the house but what establishes the house is understanding can we talk about understanding for just a second at the end of the day coming into understanding is really about character hey yeah it's really it's about character understanding is when you have answers to questions that you once didn't even know you needed to ask hey can we grow up today can we grow up to them can we grow can we grow I don't want to to excite you without establishing you because if inspiration inspiration without transformation is futile are you tracking with me I didn't come to inspire you I came to change your life don't don't don't tell me I preach good I appreciate that compliment that saw you feel what I want to hear you say if you mean it is you changed my life that's the mark for me anybody can inspire you go down to Chuck E Cheese and get inspired I'm trying to change your life understanding is when you've come to this place where you have learned to ask yourself the deeper evasive questions the elusive questions and through that process you've found precious answers that change your life see when you come to understanding you start asking yourself why do I do this so you see most people don't look that deeply into life most people are not self-aware they just they just they just function but they're not self-aware so when you come to this place it's this level of understanding it's not just what I do but it's why do I do it why did that hurt me like it hurt me why do I keep falling into these same patterns and rhythms that's understanding can we go further when you graduate into understanding it forces you to ask tough questions like this have I faced my giants I'm gonna take my time right up in here see in order to to move to a place where your life is established you're gonna have to go into this this level of understanding and this level of understanding makes you ask the question and be serious is there a giant at loose in my life that I'm afraid to confront I feel the Holy Ghost can I be a good teacher can I be like a fake doctor I need a Philips or something like that like a fake therapist right now see they're giants in your life that you have to subdue in order to move forward Wow can I just talk to you for real and a giant is daunting because a giant is something that seems bigger than you it was bigger than your mama and it was bigger than your daddy and it's bigger than everybody in your neighborhood and it talks you and there's a part of you that knows that it's the thing holding you back but there is a fear and sometimes even an element of shame I don't I don't want to even look at it I'd rather pretend it's not there and do business as usual but the reality of it is you cannot be established until you kill your Giants David was not established Goliath established David you're quiet today praise God I came to get about 1,700 people free in God's house today let's go further let's go further in his giant business I feel like I struck a nerve which means i'ma stay there for a minute what you don't kill will perpetually confront you oh let's dig into this and you can't kill what you won't confront what if I was anointed to kill the giant and all I had to do was face it what if that thing that is daunting it scares you to even to look at it is frightening but what if you already have the victory over it it's just a matter if you step into it let's go further I'll tell you right now the facing your giant necessitates vulnerability you got to be vulnerable you got it you got to get past the the shame man I didn't mean to go this deep in this one you have to get past the shame and the embarrassment so that you can get what you need some giants necessitate you being open and honest to someone who can help you feel holy goes you got to say I've been trouble because you know what we do we like to have it all together we like to look like we got all together but there's a monster in the background of our lives that is constantly robbing us every time you take one step forward that thing pulls you two step backwards and that giant I'm gonna be straight up with you there's a giant outside this church saying you can be in there all day long if you want to you know what being you God you know you scared of me come on somebody I got you by the hand I'm serious the giant will drop you off at church giant driving your over enjoy you'll be back I see you what time to session over I'll see you in a minute but you have to get to a place where you say Who I am is too important to be proper fooling around with you I don't want just half of what I could have had I want everything that God said when he called my name all I feel the Lord when you call my name before the foundation of the art God I want everything that was in my name someone you don't even know your name but I hear the Spirit of God calling you by your true name today oh I feel God see your identity is connected to what is in you when God calls Abraham in fact when God called Abraham before God officially changed his name he had given his name by what he would do he said Abraham you're going to be a father of Nations in other words there are nations where on the inside of you right so then when he produced and manifests what God said God changed his name he said no longer will you be called Abram you shall be called Abraham but see he called them Abraham when he called him to do what he called him to do you have to allow this is important you have to allow what God calls you to do to define you that's the only way to know your name if you tell me i'ma take my city then that's my name if you tell me imma take this nation then that's my name if you tell me I'm a man of Estes business and it's gonna be like no other business why not you there is no one born that had more than what you have oh you don't like that you don't like that because they don't know I grew up in these circumstances so did Oprah so the bishop takes so December and to a certain degree so did I why not you why not you start the next text company tech company why not you start the next network do I have any crazy faith in God's house today what not to be the next don't change up why not and here's the thing you don't know what's in you so you gotta keep swinging at it you gotta keep going at it you gotta keep beating what's feeding you [Applause] what's your name what's your name I don't think your name is the name that your mama gave you I don't think your name is the name that your daddy gave you what's your name and you got to keep swinging at it until you figure it out understanding it's about character I'll fight that giant because in my name that giant is slain before I got here God placed the victory over every giant in my life before I got here in other words I have been pre-qualified to triumph over everything that comes again I feel the Lord that comes against me I got I got I gotta move along I got got to move along you start asking yourself questions when you've come to a place of understanding have you faced your giants have you killed the the spirit of procrastination and excuse making let me tell you right now procrastination and greatness don't go hand in hand they not they not they not they not they're not friends they don't they don't mix they don't they don't mix because because procrastination suggests that that life is on your schedule [Music] [Applause] procrastination procrastination says I've got time Bishop Rosie O'Neil says something profound y'all know her she says something profound the other day at bishops conference she said I'm probably gonna say it wrong but you'll get the gist she said she said procrastination is the arrogant assumption that God will give you another chance in the future to do something he called you to do today [Applause] [Music] procrastination doesn't take into account this thing called time right now times ticking right now right now and so maturity understanding is maturity we don't see that in a second but maturity makes you start asking yourself some hard questions am I even qualified for what I've asked them for have I killed the spirit of procrastination I kind of believe it's the spirit I really do I ain't a demon but I'm just I'm out of spirit you don't mean it's like a lazy spirit it's just it's just it's just so you start asking about procrastination if you're in business you start asking yourself have I grown in leadership did you know you actually have to be a good leader and not just an entrepreneur you have to learn how to motivate people and build people you can't because of people out and going off on people but you have to speak to them and nourish them and pull out the best and you know that that sometimes it's not about firing a person it's about putting them in a different and if you are the one having conflict with everybody in your company the common denominator is - can I talk to you a little bit see understanding will make you start asking these type of questions you start asking questions of yourself and my whole say you have to become something to produce something am I have I prepared for what God promised preparation says to God that you believe what he said prophet Isaiah told her till the barren woman enlarge the place of your dwelling some of you I love you I swear I swear the Lord I love you some of you haven't made room for what God promised and you're mad at God and you're frustrated and God is saying I'm too big for the space that you created for me so so preparation says I believe what God said I love pastor Josiah stepping out on faith and doing his confidence don't do it in his church and he just said God spoke to him and said no it's bigger than that and he stepped out on facing a faith and all kind of money and stuff like that it caused and all dealing with the city and all these sort of things I so respect you for that man because that says to God I have finally found some body who will build me a place to do [Applause] mmm-hmm top my understanding we got it we got it we got a we got to grow up what what do I need to get out of my default settings because I automatically go here and when you walk with God oftentimes it is all about a reprogramming of your default settings are you tracking with me let me run through these these these are the types of questions what do I need to unlearn what what lie do I need to overturn that has been subconsciously shaping my perception of self and what I do it's time for understanding and let me tell you another thing another sign of understanding which is maturity is consistency I can do it but only for a little while consistency that's when you've come to a place of understanding you're not like children tossed to and fro see wisdom will build the house but understanding is different understanding is about character and it's about integrity and that's what causes you to be here to stay there are many people who were wise that got to the top and fell because in the process of getting wise they didn't get understanding see wisdom is knowing what to do understanding is knowing you better do what you know to do but yet and still there's another level are we together so wisdom wisdom builds the house understanding establishes the house it's my character it's Who I am underneath it is what I like to call what's under the hood oh I feel the Lord and the third level there and there's the final stage of its evolution and it's a cycle so you never arrive the final stage of this evolution of life and of self is knowledge knowledge what is what is knowledge not knowledge is the foliage of character it is it is it is see that proverbs 31 woman I love that proverbs 31 woman you don't see ones that I love the proverbs 31 woman I talked about last year but she is not what people think people think she just just sweet as candy just all her life made all the right decisions and waited until she got married and that's wonderful praise God I got daughters so praise the Lord I just wonderful thank you Jesus hallelujah glory to God I ain't knocking it at all not even a little bit but that wasn't her proverbs 31 woman she had been through some stuff and I won't go into it too deep but she and in fact most theologians believe and I think is easy to deduce that this was Bathsheba who was that proverbs 31 woman and as funny we look at her life we look at her life and and we want it but do you really want it but the beautiful thing about the proverbs 31 woman not to belabor the point the beautiful thing about the problem story woman is she have foilage what is foilage is the extra stuff it says by wisdom a house is built through understanding it's established it says but through knowledge its chambers are filled with rare and precious treasures but that's that's fullness that that is the manifestation of everything I've seen you see some of you are in different stages of what I'm talking about some of you you just got wizard you just getting started and your house is built and that's wonderful but you've got to keep going you got to continue to evolve now maybe you got to work on your insides hello somebody maybe you got to work when you can listen even Jesus even Jesus had to grow see remember that passes the scripture that I brought up a Luke 2:52 what fascinates it says it says Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man just before that is the story of when he was in the temple and he had so much wisdom in the temple that he's actually talking to the lawyers and he's talking to the educated people and there are amazed and astonished at him but God still didn't put him on yet you got to catch what I just said he was with the scholars at the time and he was full of wisdom and they were amazed at his wisdom but God still didn't put him on yet it says after that from 12 to 30 it said and Jesus put look 252 up there it says and Jesus grew watch this you might see something and Jesus grew in wisdom stature and in favor with God and with man Weymouth does three things - okay so wait wisdom builds the house understanding establishes the house and knowledge is the reward of all of that and it causes the house to be filled with treasure and precious jewels the finest of things that's our journey that's us then it says Jesus he grew his journey of evolution was that he grew in wisdom stature all right hold up what is stature maturity study even Jesus matured even Jesus had to grow and develop this the wisdom was the seed it was the beginning it was the the outer constructs of the house but even he God said no not yet even Jesus had to mature so let's look at that so on us we've got wisdom we've got understanding and we got knowledge and we'll get it all the whole enchilada through that progression are you tracking with me we together Jesus who is our example has the same journey he grew in wisdom and stature that is maturity and the reward for that was he grew in favor with God and with man the spirit told me something as I was preparing for this message it says when Jesus evolves and he grew it unlocked favor not only with God but also with man which means that if you do not become you cannot attract the right people that are assigned to your life I gotta say that better me and my wife would not have worked had we not come to at least a certain place of understanding oh I feel the Holy Ghost we wouldn't worked our brokenness would have caused us to bounce off of each other and go in opposite directions instead of growing and and blending together I talked about in the message I preached well I don't want the right thing too soon [Applause] what I'm gonna do is I'm a keep on becoming because if I keep on becoming everything that is assigned to me God will attract to me I gotta land this plane Atlanta's plane but can we go a little further Jesus walked the same thing out so I'm talking about character and character is it tough it's a tough conversation it's a tough conversation because and the reason why it's tough is at the end of the day you asking questions I think the average person who asks question how do I become what I'm not how do I become what I'm not and not only am I not it my mama wasn't it and my grandmama wasn't it and my daddy wasn't it and everybody in my neighborhood wasn't it in fact I've never seen it before how do I can we just have a real conversation here how do i how do I become what I have not seen I got one answer you do so by this person called the helper you do it by the Holy Spirit here hear me hear me hear me you got to understand this you got to understand who the Holy Spirit is and what his job is the Holy Spirit is the only one in this life that sees you right you pay attention again pages all day pay attention here but the Holy Spirit he's called in the scripture the Spirit of Truth that word truth literally means without ignorance so the Holy Spirit the truth of the Holy Spirit has perfect knowledge there is no ignorance in the Holy Spirit past present or future that's why we can allow the Holy Spirit to lead us because the Holy Spirit knows what's around the corner hello somebody you'd be saying no I need to go down holy pissin you don't see that pothole right there I'm telling you I know the lane looks clear the dealers in front of you everything looks good on paper but something on the inside says you're in a relationship with someone and everything lives it looks good on paper but the Holy Spirit says if sometimes the reason why the Holy Spirit does that watch this is because the Holy Spirit knows who the person will become you know who the person is or who they are purporting to be the Holy Spirit knows who they will be the moment you give them a degree of access to you can I just throw that in there for free so so when we're dealing with the Holy Spirit when we're dealing with the Holy Spirit we're dealing with perfect knowledge perfect knowledge and the Holy Spirit sees who you really are that word that was translated helper Parakletos and the Greek it literally means advocate and I wish I had about 30 more minutes with you it literally it literally means advocate so the Holy Spirit is your personal advocate he is your destiny advocate before God and puts you in your mother's womb God knew you so the Holy Spirit knows the you that you're trying to get to he sees you right okay how do I become what I've never seen how do I I live life at this level of integrity when I don't even feel it I don't even how do you even do that how do you stop doing this how do you start doing that watch this let's keep it 100 that's not even me the study with me and the reality of it is you don't even know who you are I got take my time right in here because I think that this is where we need to get to there's not even something I do it it's not even something I move towards that's not even how and God says and yet there is another you and yet there is another you that you are constantly meeting in the secret place you know let me let me tell you what the main benefit of worship is the main benefit of worship is to see yourself properly are you not ready for that can I have some real spiritual people in here you're like how do I see myself when I worship what Colossians 3 up there I didn't put it in my notes but it.we I wonder can I just help two or three people just just for a second I didn't put up there but let me tell you what Colossians 3 says Colossians 3 beginning at verse 1 says this I'm just gonna tell you he says since you have been raised if in you were raised with Christ seek those things which are above right so so first of all understand what's happening he is saying that you are raised with Christ so there is a you that is there come on that there's a perfect at you there's a you that's walking out perfection walking out the process of being perfected and there's a you in Christ that already is oh you're gonna get this today so so so you only know that you that you are you only know that you that's struggling and trying to figure it out and walking it out and you got issues and you're trying to do this and how am I gonna break this yo and that's the phone cuz that's to you that you've been exposed to both in your life but there is another year that God saw before he put you in your mother's womb and that you does not have issues that you does not have heart up but that you does not have struggles that you was not insecure come on somebody that you was not broken that you was not needy so what you are trying to do is to get back to you so so worship true worship is always vertical it's always vertical why because I'm trying to get to that you watch this watch this it says if then you were raised with Christ seek those things which are above isn't that what we do when we worship we start celebrating God and the best way to worship watch this is to align yourself with the worship service that's already taking place in heaven right now if you study revelations 4 and 5 I'm gonna teach you today if you study revelations 4 and 5 it speaks of this incredible worship service with their angels around the throne and their elders and they're saying holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty the whole earth is full of his glory that's happening right now and the reason why we feel like we've left the building when we get deep in worship is because we have aligned ourselves with the worship service that's happening in heaven we experience the glory that's why you can't worship thinking about your boo [Applause] I'm looking up so it says if then you were raised with Christ seek those things which are above where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God isn't that what you do when you worship you're seeing the throne right and then if we keep going it says it says in verse 2 if they keep it all beautiful then it says set your mind my dad talked about levels of worship in service a couple of Sundays ago at the potter's house Dallas but their levels to it because because you seek but then you go deeper in worship and you set your mind that's when you have entered into a place where there are no longer distractions and you're not thinking about carnal things and you're not praying for houses and booze and money because silver and gold you don't need rather you pass through something well you don't care about how skinny you are you don't care about how fly you're looking you don't care about nothing you are overwhelmed with the presence and the glory of the team of keys in his presence there is fullness of joy you are pressed into something and you realize that you don't need nothing but him do I have any people in God's house and you come to a place oh that need is at the end of the day you are the one thing that I desire you will never leave me nor forsake me you know my risings have my down sittings yet you still love me when you gonna find that axe I'm crazy about my wife but I can't give her that like that you seek me you set your mind pass through something so glad the Binion's taught on worship yesterday and he says set your mind on things above not on things on the earth now watch this it says in verse 3 it says for you died what you remember I told you that were too young as you go deeper in the reality of the fact that the old Jew is dead stop giving blood to what God has killed are you breathing you died if any man is in Christ he's a new creature old things have passed away behold all things become new but here's what I'm getting at it says for you died and your life so one of you died but there is another one of you and I love it because this one of you it is hidden with Christ in God preserved reserved untouched unscarred unmade unbroken in our life suppose tomorrow I'm trying I'm trying to I'm trying to lay hold of that for which it says for you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God that's where you are but if you go to verse 4 watch this this is why worship is where you find yourself it says and when cry so I'm seeking and when I see Christ when Christ who is our life appears then you will also then you also will appear with him in glory now here is what we thought that meant exclusively we thought that met them when we die when we get to glory there's nothing about that passage that would suggest that it's saying that when you access the presence in a deep way and Jesus shows up and shows you his face you lose your face in his face and that is how transformation takes place the more I see me the more I can be me I see you strong I see you secure I see you anointed I see you full of faith and the advocate sees that version of you and that advocate inspires you toward that you because he sees that that's why grieving the Holy Spirit is a grief to your destiny you're not hurting God you're hurting you because the Holy Spirit is only grieved when we are in error the conviction of the Holy Spirit is a gift how do I become who I've never met it's by accepting Jesus real and yielding to the Holy Spirit it would change your life can I tell you my story and I'll be done from from from 9 to 26 all I knew all I knew about the faith is that if I died that was going to heaven I thank God for the Baptist Church praise loaf and about the church what a wonderful foundation to get but typically you gonna have to move on typically not all the time I know some incredible Baptist churches but I think I'm and I think God can be pretty accurate and say typically you may have to at least expose yourself to other things at least all I knew was if I died I was going to heaven which is a wonderful thing to know my 16 years old when I got shot that gave me a piece okay I knew that if I got in trouble God would bail me out and he did time and time again but there was more I found out later that there was more and so so my life up to that point was me not realizing that I was reciting my flesh it was supposed to be dead when I got saved and there was powered by the Spirit of the Lord for it to be dead but I didn't know what ignorant sorry I said ignorance will get you some because I figured well if I said I like I do is ask forgiveness so this must be the rhythm of life the grace means you just saying and ask for forgiveness and that's how you debt that's know but that that's fine it it's true that you can ask forgiveness but there's no transformation if there's no transformation and so I was 26 and I was prospering in every way externally but internally I was not and I had an encounter with God and God showed me revealed to me that you can actually be who you're trying to be but you can't do without me you can actually be who you're trying to be you can actually be who you're called to be you just can't do it without me right so I look back over my life and I thought about the goodness of God the grace God from watch y'all this rough come on we got to be from Watson I bless the Lord thank you Jesus yes come on somebody it just got real up in here he got he carried me and he kept me and I could have been dead when I was 16 SOT so he took me back over my life and then did well in corporate America six figures young man you're not supposed that snot supposed to be my story and he took me back over my life and he said that was me he wasn't because he was so smart that was my grace but now I'm calling you you you got wisdom but now I'm calling it to a life of understanding and I had a decision to make I had a decision to make and the decision was to walk with God not to ask God to walk with me but like David put it I turned my feet to his testimony's and when that happened he filled me with the spirit I've got baptized in the spirit without even hands laid now I believe that hands should be laid and I'm gonna lay hands today maybe if pastor will allow me the Spirit of God came over me and the point that I'm making is there were things that I could not say no teeth if it showed up it was going down immediately that in one encounter with the Holy Spirit one encounter the things that had me I finally for once in my life had it do we had that snake put me one them snakes anyone who snakes quickly please click I swear I swear this is what I felt and I think this is gonna be a prophetic symbol just somebody and I remember praying I remember praying and this thing had me staying at me and and it will holding there was a step and pastor Sarah alluded to it last night there was a step I liked what had me [Music] so there was one part of me that was one part of me that was praying Lord taken there was another part of me saying but not tonight and even and even as I was asking him i'ma tell you how crazy life is even as I was asking him to take it I was fantasizing about doing it again and he didn't take it then areand he didn't take it because I didn't want it gone bad enough Sara so I'm taking a step forward in God and then that thing would show up and I would fall back into it and now I'm going back to God condemned Here I am again Lord and I get the courage and I feel washed and clean and then I go back and that thing was show up again and people to take me out and finally I got to a point after a series of this I got to a point to where I actually begin to hate it and the reason why I hated it is because I knew God was trying to take me somewhere cuz I could feel the lane opening up see don't you mess around and get her a vision of where God is trying to take you don't you mess around and come to the potter's house in Denver Colorado you backs around and come the woman he bought and get a glimpse of how things could be that was me and I remember family one night and I was praying and I said Lord I can't do this by myself I was honest I said I can't do this by myself I said I want to be everything you called me to be but this thing is getting in the way man it was like it was like a game this giant would show up and it would take me down and I felt like a piece of bread go and go to church - ray i'ma pick you up at 12:45 I got you but this time family this time I said god I don't want this no mom I don't want this thing to have this much power over me I want to be strong I want to be a man of God and I just believe that that you can do it and I'm telling you as I was praying my mother Oakley shot as I was praying God gave me the image of an alligator of a crocodile and as I stepped down on the head of that thing it cracked like an egg I feel that with somebody if this is minister to your spirit I want you to take your right foot or your left foot right where you are bring it up [Applause] right something about people to come [Music] all somebody not seriously take about come on I may not even need to lay hands come on a break come on don't stop starting it just like at 17 [Applause] get free in order to get free get free not today devil map tomorrow never hear me here is the testimony that's God is my witness I have never fallen like that again it's been 19 years it's been 19 years 19 years and just that the bloggers don't get crazy it was promiscuity for me hello somebody I was a hope but not Nomos and what's crazy and what's crazy is now I realize that I had to get free so that he can trust me with women not a scandal not a one woman in any of our churches kids say pastor came on to me pastor slept with me I planted a church in Hollywood I had to get free I can't be like it and change it so what my God have for you now you not crushing the head of the serpent it's keeping you from what time is ticking I want to pray for you if you're here baby come up here if you're here and you say pastor I did not know where you were going but I want you to pray for me see I can't give you what I don't have but what I have I give to you then men's spiritual sons of mine and they were wild to me they've been celebrate for years good-looking brothers come on somebody with plenty of options it's easy to be celibate when you ain't got no options [Applause] I believe in the spirit of god let me see my name on my towel bring it back I need the Spirit of God I can't do it we told our churches the other day because there's two of me there's two of me one of me looks like me talks like me walks like me drives my same car lives in my house and is married to Sara uh-huh and I gotta kill that me I say all the time every day I go on my prayer closet two of us go in but only one comes out I gotta kill that me because that he kills me he kills everything to sign to me if you hear and you say I need that he was talking to me Petey I need that I want you to come here it ain't weird it's real if you're here and you don't know the Lord yet just talking to a precious person yesterday and this individual said I I left Christianity and she began to describe the reasons why she left Christianity and all the reasons watch this we're love-based reasons I don't like the way to treat people I don't like the judgment and I said oh baby you didn't leave Christianity I said you left religion I think for some of you judgmentalism and Chris that's not Christianity wait I mean that doesn't even make that's anti Christianity who the Sun sets free is free indeed for God so loved the world he gave His only begotten Son who sent believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life for God did not send his it specifically says for God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it but that the world through him might be saved so condemnation is an antichrist spirit Romans 8 there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ so you come to faith to get away from condemnation not to be condemn us out now baby you didn't walk away from Christian sounds like you might be walking towards Jesus so if you hear when you say you know what I cannot deny the power that's been in this conference since I got here I cannot deny all of the steps everything that led me to this moment and I don't want it to just be an experience that I have when I'm on pastor Sarah's Instagram or watching her videos or in the churches but I want I want this see what you love about Sarah is the God in her that's what you're drawn to now she's fine as all outdoors and flyer than anybody but that's not what's drawing you you wouldn't come to Denver just for that you could just see that on social media is to God in her reflecting back to you who you are called to be so if you're here and you say I want to try this thing I don't have all the answers I don't really know there's some things that I got questions about I have questions too but if you cannot deny God tapping you all the way in the balcony if you cannot deny God tapping you come here we're gonna pray for you just cut them but take a minute come on just come just come just come just come so God you've called all of us really but certainly these women to be producers that's their birthright it is not something that is the exception them bringing forth is the rule it is their identity the father I thank you Lord that they're not just going to be people of wisdom they can be people of understanding and then knowledge is gonna come they're gonna grow in wisdom they're gonna grow in stature and they're gonna grow in favor with you and with man now God we know the only way to become we can't mind-over-matter our way into becoming this becoming takes place by transformation and that transformation by the renewing of our mind and that renewing of our mind a direct the direct result of our worship and those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth so that's what we're after if we worship you in spirit and in truth our minds will be renewed and we will be transformed into the image of who we truly are in you the father your sons and daughters have come down because you by your spirit have drawn them and your spirit does not simply want to touch them your spirit wants to feel them
