Bishop Noel Jones - Time To Break New Ground

bishop noel jones presents this provocative challenging and life-changing message to encourage inspire and motivate you to keep marching toward your destiny now receive this fresh oil from bishop noel jones as it flows from the vials of heaven to saturate your soul in hosea chapter 10 hosea chapter 10 and beginning at verse 9. hosea 10 beginning at verse 9. oh israel have you got it i still hear bibles rustling as leaves on an autumn day if you have it say yes oh israel thou has sinned from the days of gibeah there they stood the battle in gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them it is in my desire that i should chastise them and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows and ephraim is as an heifer that is taught and loveth to tread out the corn but i passed over upon her fair neck i will make ephraim to ride judah shall plow and jacob shall break his clods sow to yourselves in righteousness reap in mercy break up your fallow ground for it is time to seek the lord until he come and reign righteousness upon you you have plowed wickedness you have reaped iniquity you have eaten the fruit of lies because thou to distrust in thy way in the multitude of thy mighty men i want you to look at somebody and just tell them i am breaking new ground amen touch somebody else and say new ground this year man i gotta have new ground new ground help me sound man give me a make it hosea's task of course is to give prophetic utterance to israel and the inconsistent behavior of israel as it relates to god is actually the reason for their consistent inability to get the proper results you always have to remember that when you're dealing with a theocracy it is how you walk within the parameters of god's order that determines what the results will be in israel in their inconsistent behavior ended up with constantly and consistently finding themselves unable to get what it is that god wanted from them they can't get results you can't be inconsistent in your behavior towards god and expect for things to flow like milk and honey so their continued motion then they seem just to keep going around in circles because they had absolutely no positive results but they had just this consistent motion and it's interesting that when he even brings the attitude of the sin of gibeah that he's speaking now concerning israel in its early stage in its early age which suggests by the time hosea begins to prophesy that israel had been in this state of mind this lifestyle for centuries it's not just something that popped up overnight and goes away overnight it is an attitude that existed over centuries and it became embedded it was generational now because where god had instructed that one generation teach the next the first generation walked away from god and the other generations followed so for generations israel had no desire to follow god and that's why one writer when he deals with hosea's entrance on the scene as prophetic utterer he says and i quote that hosea's lot was cast in mournful times unquote because here he is speaking to a group of people who did not just get this way but a group of people who had passed this attitude on through generations it's it's one thing to live a certain lifestyle based on what you just found out it's another thing to inherit the negatives of the lifestyle of those who lived before you and those who lived before them and those who lived as far up as you can see and so the culmination of this degradation was now in hosea's contemporary situation it was the state of israel as a nation had deteriorated yes into total spiritual decay and of course the prophet now is among the people who have completely walked from god and expressed themselves in such negative terms until he has to suffer the ghastly state of their continued chastisement as god is whipping them he is a part of the community of israel and when you are around people and inextricably tied to people who do not serve god like they should then you being in the midst of them have to deal with the negatives that flow within the parameters of their house you cannot walk out of the house and avoid the calamities when everybody around you is ushering in the negative things that happen when people don't walk with god and that's why sometimes you have to break away from some folk if you can because why should i endure punishment when you don't want to walk with god and i'm trying to bring the favor of god in the house and you're trying to bring the wrath of god in the house and so i hosea had to deal with it because he himself suffers with them in their disobedience and but the wonderful thing is that this is not the stimulation for his prophetic utterance and that is i'm prophesying simply because i don't want to suffer with you no that's not it he prophesies because he feels their pain he is uh in the midst of what they are facing and he feels the pain of the people he feels their frustration he feels the woes that come because they have not walked with god he feels the consequences of the behavior that comes in around them and he's literally in sympathy because of them but not only is he's utterance because of them because he's about to receive an enormous dosage of god's pain because god is going to commission him to marry a woman called gomer a prostitute and she's going to be extraordinarily unfaithful to him and just when he thinks he's got her undercover and thinks that she's appreciative of all of his sacrifice she's going to go out and be with somebody else so hosea is not only going to feel the pain of the people who are under the chastisement of god but he's going to feel the pain of god about how god feels about israel when israel keeps walking away from him and causing him to do what he doesn't want to do and so here is the prophet then in the middle of god and the people not only is he feeling the people's pain but imagine with me he's feeling god's pain and he's dealing now with the ignorance of the people and very definitely he's dealing with their frustration because their life just keeps going from one bondage to the next from one servitude to the next from one master to the next and not allowing them to become what they should be because they're not dealing with the center of their life who is god himself uh one writer said then i quote he said he and he's talking about hosea he did not live to see the actual destruction of the kingdom of israel he beheld it however in prophetic vision a short time before the terrible cataclysma unquote the significance then of the prophetic word is to bring about a change in the life of the people to whom he is speaking because what god is saying is you have ignored me and i am the source of your life you have you have done things that displeased me and if you walk outside of my order then you're going to bring consequences on yourself that are not pleasing to me because i did not bless you for you to enjoy the wickedness of your environment i blessed you so that you might bask in the things that i have for you i did not fix things the way i fix them for you not to have them i want you to have them but in order for you to have them you have got to walk within the parameters of the order that i have established this is why the significance now of break up the fellow ground could not only be spiritual but it had great psychological implications because we're dealing with a group of people who have been chastened enough to leave residual scars in their mind because the mind is the place that ultimately becomes that danger spot for you and i because the chastening of god was so consistent and it was so might i say awesome in its presentation and it was so whole some in its presentation that the tendency is to believe that god doesn't care about you anymore and so his chastening is so perfect i guess and it is so uh fulfilling in its in its in its vision to change the mind of an individual that the perfection of the chastening will force you to wonder does god really care because the whipping is so intense but much of the time we almost have to lose our mind before we change god have to push us sometimes to the limit of our sanity before we decide to do something different and this is why for centuries they have been subjected to a plethora of different nations of oppressing nations and you can't move out of one oppression into another and it not leave some residual effect on your psyche but god had a need to drive them to repentance and his need to drive them through repentance through chastening leaves the scars of oppression and so god now has to lift them spiritually and psychologically in order to bring them from the brink of outward disaster and inward malfunction it's one thing to have to face the outward but when the outside has come inside and you've got to deal not only with overcoming outside circumstances but now you've got to deal with what's going on in you because the outside circumstance is stimulated by satan's accusing of god and accusing of you often oftentimes causes you to wonder and think does god care about me and at the end of the day will i really come out all right because the circumstances are so awful on the outside that i'm beginning to feel broken on the inside but the brokenness is not to destroy me the brokenness is to recover me but my mind is messed up because of the things that i've had to go through even to be recovered it is strange but i hear israel singing that should have been glad and should have been under the great influence of the ebullions of god's grace but the israel is always in some kind of trouble and i hear them singing how can we sing in a strange land because they're always under the oppression of somebody a history of oppression and it indicates that they were totally bent against walking with god what else do i have to do with you in order to get you to come around what else do you have to go through before you will admit that you need to change your life how much more poverty do you need to have how much more outbreak do you need to go through how much more circumstances that are negative how much more do you need to lose before you understand that you need a change of life you need a change of mind when i look at israel it seemed as if historically they were always digging a deeper hole for themselves because of this consistent anti-god behavior and all that amounts to is nothing but self-destruction because that's all it is anytime i am walking against god i'm walking against myself because if i walk where god would have me to walk i won't run into some people i don't need to meet if i'm walking where god would have me to walk i won't run into some circumstances i don't need to have if if i'm walking where god wants me to walk i won't run into some devils that i don't need to have to come close to it's it's when i'm walking outside of god that i walk into circumstances and situations that cause me more pain than i need to have ah there is no shorter way to destruction no matter how long it takes and the only reason it's taking long is because god is long suffering and he's trying to get you to change your mind i looked at how early because once he mentioned gibeah in the text i had to run all the way back to judges because that's where gibbia is first mentioned and when i look at gibbiah i see then the period immediately after joshua and what it says to me is that now i'm talking to a child of god who has been brought up out of egypt and has been placed in the promised land but does not yet understand how to operate within a land that flows with milk and honey i suggest to you that if you can just get your mind set if i and i need to join you too if i can just get my mind set in the right place the milk and honey is already around us if i could just get my mind in the right place oh god i said to a friend uh some time ago i said often times i'm in the company of angels looking for a devil because i just don't have my mind set right you know if you have your mind set right you will find the qualities that god wants you to look for if your mind is set right when when your mind is offset you can be in the right place with the wrong mind and don't know what's around you i'm gonna break through today i'm gonna break through early early right after joshua early in israel you will notice that in the time of gibeah they were moving to what is regarded as seven apostasies when you study the book of judges you will find seven apostasies and the seven apostasies brought six servitudes and civil war there were seven things that came from the seven apostasies the seven backing up from god the walking away from god and what it brought them was servitude anytime you walk within the parameters of god's word you walk in freedom you walk in liberty because where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty you walk into personal development you walk into purpose and meaning when you walk within the parameters of god but when you walk outside of god's parameters if god is not in charge of your life then the devil is if the positive is not leading you then the negative controls you and so the seven apostasies brought six servitudes and civil war because every man did that which was right in his own eyes which becomes the theme of judges if you notice the first servitude was mesopotamia and the mesopotamian people kept israel under servitude for eight years and of course off nile was the judge that delivered them and they went around for a little while and then they walked outside of god and then here comes moab and ehud were the judges that delivered them then they walked for a while and then they slipped back into their old mindset and now they have to face jaben and sasera who kept them bound under slavery and heavy oppression for 20 years they got out of that after after deborah and barack gave them deliverance and then they fooled around and slipped back into that old mindset and now they're under the midianites for seven years until gibeon brings them release they slipped out of that and then they move into civil war where now they're destroying one another under abimelech on the tola and jail now after that comes the philistines and the ammonites and for now 18 years they are under another servitude until jephthah and ibizan and elenant and aberdan brings them out then the philistines continue to dominate them another 20 something years until samson delivers them in that last shaking up now i want you to look at your life and ask yourself how many servitudes have you been under i feel it here can you imagine you walk in heartbreak for eight years and then you get out of that and then then you walk in another mess for another seven years and then you get out of that then you walk with some more junk for 20 more years and and then you get out of that then you're into another mess for another 20 something years and then you get out of that and so you're going from one mess to the other mess and it's just mess mess and more mess and i'm left now with a complete psyche that is so hard that god cannot even plow the good things that i am i have been in so much mess that everything that i am is now laying under the foot of somebody else's disposition oh i feel a breakthrough coming here uh give somebody high five and say no more mess for me i uh touch somebody say i ain't got time for no more mess uh-huh yeah uh johnny tore me apart susie wrecked my life no more mess no more mess amen there there is no way to endure this kind of servitude and oppression without it leaving an indelible print on my mind i didn't get this hard overnight i've come through a series of difficult times that have left me skeptical and cynical i've come through so much until now i don't even trust you i don't trust nobody getting close to me ah you get uh i've come through too much now just because the word here is facts it's the hebrew word it's vex it means uh to shatter one word means to shatter uh it's from raj it means to quake it means to rattle and the concept is how you feel in an earthquake i don't know have you ever been in one yes you have you're from california i was in one the place was shaking and i decided from jamaica to here i've lived in nothing but earthquake places and and i'm telling you when it shakes there's nothing you can do about it it shakes and you're running upstairs trying to get between the door posts everything's shaking and rattling and you're scared to death because it's bigger than you are that's what oppression does it fixes your spirit it shatters your dreams it shatters your purpose it shatters your vision it shatters your drive it shatters your enthusiasm because you were not made to walk under oppression and be under somebody's foot walking over your life until they walk you until you're totally bitter about having lived when god is moving in your life it's freedom to become all that god would have you to be oh i feel it in here another word is to thrust from the hebrew to hawk and what it means is to crowd and it is to oppress the mind the mind becomes a place that is shattered that is crowded that is crushed sometimes you just sit around crying and don't know what you're crying about searching to find out you're crying first and then you're looking to see what you're crying about it's one thing to see something and then start crying it's another thing to just be crying and then go to see what am i crying about now what is it this time because you've been oppressed and you've been walked on and the spirit goes so does the mind whenever the spirit is broken the mind is coming down so when he says break up the fellow ground he's speaking now of having to break up this conditioning this acceptance that you have allowed yourself into because you should have resisted in the first place but instead of resisting you have allowed yourself to be conditioned and now you're conditioned in the manner of the negative and in order to come out of the negative you got to break up because you've been walked on for so long that now you're harmed in your negative disposition and god is saying how can i take you to the next level if you're walking in the bitterness of yesterday's oppression i need you to break up oh i feel like having church in here i wish i had some help in this house uh it is just breaking up there the ability to become the choice vineyard of god seems totally out of their reach because instead of being pliable and flexible to move under the anointing of god they have become rigid in the attitude of bitterness and malice because of the things that they have gone through you have got to break up the fellow grounds you have got to loosen yourself up and you've got to ask god to begin to send that abundant reign in your life because lord i can't keep living like this i i can't keep going around in circles with uncertainty this breaking has to be extreme it has to be extreme because the condition did not come within a lifetime the way i think and the way i am right now is the product of centuries of dealing with oppressive behavior i've got to reverse the curse that's been running through my family oh i've got to reverse the curse i've got to come i got to break up what's been passed down i got to break up what they expect me to accept i got to break up what they've been dishing out to me i've got to let them know i'm taking it like that from a child this israel from a child and when i think about our childhood from a child the plot of course has been set and israel plotted a course of disobedience and frustration because they would not submit to god and it is this submission now to negative influences that will gradually bring you to a point of death and it will be so gradual because of the manipulative power of satan that you will not even feel it coming oh i know this is true the subtle conditioning of negative forces that take you from the soft productive responses to god that sounds negative but so subtle because satan doesn't come with you immediately with the ugly of the final but he introduces the beauty of the present i thought about the two frogs i told you a little bit about them when i think about the hard bitterness that totally wipes out your spiritual productivity that hardens instead of being pliable to god you didn't just get hardened overnight you've been through some stuff that you have accepted and as you accept it it conditions you they took a frog they took a frog and they tossed the frog in some boiling water and when the frog hit the boiling water he jumped out because the water was extremely hot he jumped all the way out they took another frog frog number two and they put frog number two in some tepid water and they put him over the fire and they turned the fire up when the water got to a certain degree of temperature they shut it off and they allowed the frog to sit there until he adjusted and then they turned it up some more and they allowed him to accept the new heat until he adjusted they turned it up some more and he adjusted and they kept on turning it up until he boiled right there in the water there is something in your life that is steady coming up and you're steady accepting it and adjusting to it and you're not feeling it but it's killing you oh i feel can i get some help on these can i get a little power up on these mic i feel the holy ghost here touch somebody say you gotta stop accepting it you gotta stop accepting what everybody wants you to receive and open yourself up and tell the devil i'm getting ready to break new grass i feel them in here oh god i feel it the subtleness of the attack and the manipulation to gradually accept the conditioning uh that we is hurting us but we don't feel hurt because people have conditioned us not to trust our feelings but when things are going wrong in your spirit you might not be able to put your hands on it but you know something's wrong with this relationship you know something's wrong on this job you know something's wrong with this group i don't know exactly what it is but i'm getting ready to search because i don't want to eat the fruit of lies i feel it here i feel like preaching in here shake somebody's hand and tell them i've eaten too many lies that's why i got indigestion right about now i'm sick of eating lies and believing stuff that ain't going nowhere it ain't going nowhere and now you're going to make me hard that i can't hear the voice of the lord the devil is alive i'm breaking up my ground this year oh i feel him in here the state of being because there's a state of being in which one experiences clarity uh serenity integrity and autonomy every human being must move in the state where they receive clarity you must experience clarity you have to know the voice and the direction that god would have you in you cannot live in confusion because confusion is not of god anytime your life and your relationships are full of confusion then that is not of god it is of the devil because god operates in clarity in serenity and in integrity oh i feel this thing when you're in this state of being it provides one with a sense of inner security because once i have clarity serenity and integrity and god allows me autonomy i ain't got to be like you i'll be what god would have me to be i'm sick and tired of trying to be like you and stop being like god would have me to be and got you walking on me trying to make me into what you want me to be when god's trying to bring out of me everything that's on the inside and so now this gives me a sense of security it gives a sense of purpose and meaning this becomes the state of what we call personal power every individual who moves with god moves in a state of personal power after all it was god who gave you dominion over your environment and if you have dominion over your environment you have personal power when two people come together in a relationship and both of them in a state of being if each of them have personal power then they magnify one another my personal power is not contingent on yours yours is not contingent on mine so when we bring our personal powers together we build each other or we make your personal power more magnanimous it's called co-empowerment where i empower you and you empower me and that's why the power of the holy spirit comes into my life to empower me but when i have a relationship with somebody that does not have personal power what they do is try to get power by overpowering me [Applause] i wish somebody was with me here i feel the holy ghost i don't know have you ever been there where somebody didn't have a life of their own and began to choke yours out because folk will try to overpower you when they don't have any power of their own but i heard him say don't you leave jerusalem until you be endowed with power from on high i'm breaking out this year y'all can do what you want to do shake somebody's hand say i can't tell you what to do but i'm breaking new ground this year i'm shaking some folk off my back and i'm moving to another level i wish i could make this thing work ah it is here then that it's a need because to have personal power is a need and a riot because what it does is it centers us and here is a place of serenity when this state is magnified it evokes wonder and joy it makes me enthusiastic and makes me expectant when i know that god is with me and i know that he is moving on the inside what is the next challenge where is the next blessing where is the next miracle i'm enthused and i'm ready to go but when i'm diminished because of oppression it evokes feelings of sadness and frustration and hopelessness because i'm being used and walked on until i'm conditioned in a hardened state and now i'm frustrated and sad when i'm connected to the spirit of life in the center i feel like the sky is the limit but when i'm connected to somebody that's weakening me i'm hopeless every time i try to move they bring some more junk up in my life oh but i'm telling you it's time to break out i got to break out to break through got to break up some junk so i've got to trust my feeling i've got to search out to find what's wrong why i'm feeling like something's wrong here i can't put my hand on it but something is wrong but i've been told not to trust my feeling but if i put my hand in fire and it burns that's a feeling of pain that tells me something is wrong if i feel a pain across my back it tells me something is wrong and when i have a feeling in my spirit that something is wrong i'm getting ready to check you out i feel i feel like lifting him up touch your neighbor saying nothing wrong to check it out i feel like having church here on the one hand when i feel built up i feel the power of responsibility because anytime you've got personal power and you can take care of who you are you take the responsibility for the way your life goes because that's what is good to build up your spirit i'm responsible for me and you must not let people make you feel like you're responsible for their happiness because many times you're abused by folk who will make you feel that you're the reason why they aren't happy and you're the reason why their life isn't working the devil is alive i'm responsible for mine i'm responsible for my peace i'm responsible for my joy but if you coming over here looking for peace from me you better come with your own i can call empower you but i can't give you what you don't have i feel i feel like preaching in here i come with my affection and i bring my affection to the table because i want you to know i have a healthy affection but every time i come with affection you bring up rejection so when i should have been lifted because of how kind i am and because of how wonderful i am you find a reason to minimize my affection and you diminish me but i'm breaking out this year i'm breaking loose this year then i come with hope because i believe no matter how bad your circumstance is there is hope yet for you but every time i preach a word of hope you bring me another reason why you cannot make it and can't get up every time i show you how to walk you'll come back with a reason why you didn't get it done and you couldn't do it so instead of lifting my spirit with expectation you'll cut me down with disappointment i feel like preaching in here shake somebody's hand tell them get away from them folk that brings disappointment when they should bring hope that brings frustration when they should bring determination that brings in adequacy when it should be responsibility then when i'm happy i'm happy about what i'm doing i'm happy about my life and i'm telling you how god is blessing me but every time i open my mouth to tell you how happy i am you find a way to show me it ain't that much so now you bring me sadness when i ought to have happiness when i need security you tell me what will go wrong don't tell me what will go wrong tell me what will go right i feel like reaching in here i will not be controlled when i have peace and i think you are feeling pretty good you surprised me by letting me know that you are still upset and i'm trying to figure out what's wrong with you cause you're stressing me out you're abusing me with the negative you're looking sad all the time well the lord told me i need to break up my salary i'm breaking new ground shake somebody's hand and said neighbor i'm breaking new ground i got to find some people that's walking with god that's moving in the power of the savior's strength i got to find some people that understand that god is about blessing about power about overcoming about strength about losing the chapter setting the captive free i'm gonna preach all day give somebody high five say i'm breaking out i'm breaking new ground and the new ground is me i feel like preaching shake somebody's hand say i am the new ground i got visions up in here i got purpose up in here i got joy up in here and i'm getting ready to break it out i'm getting ready to break out my

person that's what they condition you to be but you're that person who believes all things you've been conditioned to believe you're a failure but you're not a failure you just dealt with a lot of failing people oh but if you break up the ground and said lord i want you to sow him to me i want you to reign on me and i'll step out and give you glory because if i walk like you're happy to walk goodness and mercy shall follow i'm breaking new ground who said you're not good enough who said it the devil is a liar who said you're not good enough who said you can't get it done who said you will
