Burning Evidence - Sarah Jakes Roberts

hey family welcome to the official youtube page of one i'm excited that you're here this message is getting ready to bless your life i want you to stay connected to the incredible things that are happening in this movement so don't forget to subscribe and turn on your notifications and if you want to partner with us and some of the great things that we're doing all over the world you can give as well now it's time to get into this word i love you god bless you let's stay connected as i was listening to worship it just hit me that i am standing in the more to come season of my life you see it's important that we recognize when we are standing in a moment and we are standing on the cusp of more to come and i don't even mean more things i can feel it every day i wake up in the morning that there's more to me being revealed that literally god's glory is resting on my life every single day and i wish i just had one person who wouldn't mind taking 10 seconds to thank god that we're standing in a more to come season that after feeling depleted like i didn't have enough that god is stirring up the gift of god that's down on the inside of me i feel more strength coming my way i feel more wisdom coming my way i feel like i'm going to be more angered than i've ever been anchored before i feel like god is building me up come on more to come more to come i want you to type that in the comment section until you begin to prophesy that thing over your life there's more to come there's more to come there's still more strength for me to inhabit there's still more praise for me to send up there's still more worship i still have more coming my way and i want to thank god that i serve a god who knows how to pour out more that he is never overdrafted that he is never out of resources god says that if you open your mouth wide i can feel it and i'll never run out of things to fill you with so that means if you're still alive i got news for you there's more to come this isn't the end yet i want to speak to somebody's fear right now that your fear has been telling you that this is all that there is but i want to prophesy over your life that as you open your heart for expectation that more is beginning to come your way the seeds of more i feel that prophetically for somebody the seeds of more are already in your life and so our only responsibility is to ask god how do i create the environment that produces more how do i create the environment god that's what i'm praying god will do for us tonight that as we come together in the spirit of worship and fellowship and hunger that god would give us divine strategy god show me how to create the environment because the more that god has assigned to your name is already in your life it's just in seed form that doesn't have anything to do with my message but i feel like someone needs to know this there is nothing that i currently have in my life that wasn't already a part of my life it was just in seed form the only thing that changed wasn't what that god gave it to me is that god helped me to cultivate the environment and right now you just stepped into the garden you just stepped into an environment while the worship was going forth it was cultivating an environment somebody's getting rooted somebody's going to produce fruit somebody's changing right now you don't even realize it but the change has already taken place i feel the sun is coming out you've been in mourning long enough but the sun is coming out and my god we already know that who the son has set free is free and free indeed family it's time to activate are you ready to activate it's time to go deeper are you ready to go deeper you know what we came to do when we come together it is not so that we can be entertained our goal in coming together is for us to experience transformation and i know that this is going to be a transformative message because god is still working it out in my spirit and when god is still working it out in my spirit that means i have no control no idea of what's going to happen all i can do is just offer myself to this moment and so i'm praying for your grace and your patience and that your discernment would be turned on that you would glean everything that god has for you in this moment i want to start in the book of john chapter 18. i'm going to start with verse 15. i know most of you are bible scholars so you don't need me to set up the text but for those of you who are like me and went to the ebonics version of the bible in your mind immediately you need a little help okay i got you i'm gonna hook you up we're gonna start in verse 15 at this point in the text jesus is on the way to being crucified he's already been turned over judas one of his disciples has betrayed him the soldiers have come to capture him and now one of his disciples mind you the disciple whom he said he could build his church upon is getting ready to deny him this is a powerful moment in the text because it proves to us that even though you walk with the lord even though you can experience the goodness of the lord the glory of the lord that you can still find yourself in seasons where you don't look like what you've been exposed to and i know that that's somebody's testimony already because when we experience situations and circumstances that are so heavy so unexpected that we literally have not been tutored for it is so easy to maintain our faith in the midst of it all and when we find peter in this text he is charged with that very responsibility of maintaining his faith and yet he denies jesus let's jump into it and simon peter followed jesus and so did another disciple now that disciple was known to the high priest and went with jesus into the courtyard of the high priest but peter stood at the door outside then the other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to her who kept the door and brought peter in then the servant girl who kept the door said to peter you are not also one of this man's disciples are you he said i am not never heard of i'm sorry to this man my text continues it says now the servants and officers who had made a fire who made a fire of coal stood there for it was cold and they warmed themselves and peter stood with him and warmed himself standing with the enemies supposed to be on the other side and during the persecution that comes with purpose but if we're honest there are moments where the persecution of purpose makes us rather not be in purpose at all this is where we find peter this is where we find many of you and yet god's going to meet with the spirit of the living god god you've already made a decision on what this moment is to be and so i pray that you would bring me into alignment oh god i feel your spirit already flowing that you would bring me into alignment with what this moment is supposed to be god i just want to be in the flow god and somebody else is watching and all they want is to be in the flow god we want you to untether us from anything that keeps us from being in the flow that we may be moved into the spaces in the places where you have called us to thrive god i'm praying supernaturally right now that your spirit would begin to fall before a point can even go forth before another song can even be sung that we would feel the weight of your glory already pressing up against our chains may there be great breakthrough tonight father not because someone spoke a word and not because someone sang a song but because an open heart had a divine encounter with their savior god and as a result may everything connected to us be forever changed god let your glory fall and let there be overflow none of me and only you in jesus name i pray amen and amen again amen amen amen you know i say amen several times now since we've been recording because i'm just used to hearing everybody saying amen and i like it when you type it in the comments okay it seals the prayer but i have to still say amen about three times because it's just i don't know you know what i mean that's all right bear with me you know before i came here i was speaking with my daughter and i was talking to my daughter ella and you know she is quite the character ella is and there are moments when she is speaking when i know without a shadow of a doubt which one of her siblings she has picked up is saying from she is five years old and like most children her age she's at an age where she is a sponge she picks up any and everything that she hears and so one minute she's saying mind your business the next minute she's talking about k-pop because of our 12 year old and then other times she sounds like a 25 year old woman because of her older sister ella is constantly picking up language and there's something about her being her own person and with her own slant on it that makes it hard to remember sometimes where she got a particular saying we know for sure that it could not have come from her because she has not been exposed but then there are these moments in which she says something and all i can say is like where did you get that from because when i'm so used to being able to point certain sayings to certain siblings or certain family members or even certain television shows when i hear a foreign sound i have to ask the question where did that come from where is that deriving from in your spirit if i could name this message anything i would title it burning evidence it's my prayer that that will make so much sense later but i want to dig into a moment about evidence and how our evidence shows up whether we realize it or not let's backtrack a little bit i want to know whether or not you guys have been watching pt's message his new series about becoming the evidence of god if you are not plugged in i highly encourage for you to get plugged into this series it is going to change your life and we literally just kicked it off on sunday pt was talking about what it requires of us to be witnesses for god in order for us to be witnesses of god we have to first be the evidence of god and i told pt when he gave me the opportunity to activate with you all tonight that i wanted to dig in a little bit deeper about what keeps us from becoming the evidence of god as i was studying and praying into this because i do think that on the highest level most of us want to become evidence i want people to know that god is real as a result of my existence that is our purest intention and yet if we're honest there are moments where it is interesting trying to become the evidence of god and i submit for your consideration that part of the reason why it is difficult to become the evidence of god is because we are already the evidence of something else just like with ella who has this language that we can pinpoint to being the evidence of mckenzie or the evidence of isaiah or the evidence of malachi who we show up in as the world is not just something that has happened by coincidence or by accident it has not happened randomly it has happened because we are the evidence of what we have been exposed to that means there's somebody you're watching this and you want to become the evidence of god but in order to become the evidence of god you first have to lose no you first have to confront the reality that you are the evidence of the abandonment you experienced because when we have life experiences the life experiences may end but the residue of those experiences the evidence of those experiences they stick with us and now suddenly my language has changed because the evidence of my heartbreak is still with me suddenly my faith and my ability to see the broader picture has changed because the residue of what has happened to me has now become the language and the mindset in which i show up in the world i want to become the evidence of god but right now i'm the evidence of my trauma right now i'm the evidence of my confusion right now i'm the evidence of my depression right now i'm the evidence of the infertility i'm the evidence of living paycheck to paycheck how can i have how can i become the evidence of god if i'm constantly feeling like the evidence of thy present circumstance to say to someone that i want you to become the evidence of god means that we must also consider what are you carrying that's keeping you from becoming the evidence of god that's why i love this ministry so much because it thinks about the total person it's not just who you have to be on the outside and how you have to function in the earth but who you must become on the inside in order to make it happen so when pt was talking about prayer prayer is an opportunity to confront what is in you that is the evidence of what happened to you and so when i find peter in this text i recognize that he is the evidence of the resistance that he's facing in this moment did you know that before jesus walked the earth before abraham left his father's house before we met any of the incredible heroes of faith that we know in our bibles that it was just adam and eve in the garden made in the image of god and when adam and eve were in the garden made in the image of god they were already born the evidence of god oh god if you're taking notes i want you to write this down god's original intention was for you to be evidence without striving nor effort that god believed that you when you were first created that's why we are so drawn to babies they're so pure and they're so innocent and they are so fresh out of transformation that it is certain that they are the evidence of god that was supposed to maintain throughout adulthood but then sin entered the world and now instead of being the evidence of god the evidence of what jeremiah says before i formed you in your mother's womb i knew you before god formed me i was evidence god formed me with his hands he used his hands to create me to give me my personality to give me ideas to give him my gifts and my talents god blew that thing in you i feel like we should pause there for a moment that everything that you have right now is a result of what god was thinking would make the perfect you when you were in heaven everything that you possess right now is a gift that came from god that means when you pick up the pen to write that it's really not you it's the gift of god flowing through you when i pick up this microphone to minister it's really not me it's the gift of god flowing through me and everyone's goal in life should not be how do i become famous how do i go viral our number one goal in life should be how do i align myself in such a way that when i use my gift or talent it's god's grace automatically flowing through me because when we were created that was the intention god touched that gift god breathed on your writing god blessed that music god bless that mind god bless that ability to work with numbers the way that no one else could work with numbers this is not just something that you became good at somewhere along the way this is something that god predestined to be down in your spirit to show up as the evidence of god man i wish i could move on but i feel that so strongly for someone that you didn't recognize that that thing that man has been applauding that god is not shocked by man is shocked by it man is wondering how did you get there how do you know these things how did you even get in that position but god knows she's just walking out exactly what i called her to do he's just walking out exactly what i knew was already in him god is not caught off by caught by surprise when you achieve success god is not caught by surprise when you end up having achievements and when you do well that is what man is shocked by but god understands that you are just walking in the fullness of who i've called you to be and i want to prophesy to somebody who used to walk in the fullness of who god has called them to be and i want you to know that it's coming back around that god said i put that thing in you so that it can continue to multiply throughout you and it's going to come back around and just because man doesn't applaud it doesn't mean that god didn't give it to you if god gave it to you it doesn't matter whether or not man applauds it all that matters is that i align myself to get in the flow to get in the flow before i prayed i said god get me in the flow what flow am i speaking of i'm talking about the flow that exists above the earth the flow that exists within heaven the flow that sets the atmosphere for me to do what i do the way that only i can do it in that same flow is coming to you because there is no one who can do what you do the way that you do it god said if i'm gonna put her in the earth i'm gonna give her a unique dna i'm gonna give him a unique dna that no one can do but him and you will not always understand it and you will not always know how to embrace it but you gotta learn to let it flow god i don't know why you're using me but i'm gonna let it flow god i don't know why you brought me in this room but i'm gonna let it flow because something happens when i align with heaven that is undeniable the impact is greater than my effort and that's gotta be the flow talking the flow brought me to this room the flow gave me this opportunity the flow keeps opening doors and so i gotta get in the flow i gotta get i gotta get in the flow there's progress in the flow there's creativity in the flow there's strategy in the flow there's breakthrough in the flow there's generational blessings in the flow there is conviction in the flow there is persecution in the flow but there's also multiplication in the flow the flow cannot be stopped the flow the flow cannot be stopped and god says anyone who's going to build what i'm building in the earth they got to do it in my flow it's gotta look like me it's gotta sound like me and you'll know it looks like god when you become better as a result of it you'll know that you had an encounter with god when it ends up changing who you are on the inside level there are some videos that just change you 30 seconds of a video how could i be changed because that video was in the flow one encounter with one soul how could i be forever changed because that soul was in the flow and i believe that god is raising up a generation of people who are hungry to get in the flow god i just want to be in the flow of what you're doing and i may have to lay my pride down and i may have to lay my ego down but at the end of the day i want to be in your flow because if i'm not in your flow i may drown god there's water in my lungs i must not be in your flow i'm depressed god i must not be in your flow god if i'm in your flow teach me how to navigate these waters god if i'm not in your flow then pull me out of this flow that i found myself in so that i can find the way to put my feet on solid ground god the truth is that sometimes we get swept away you're watching this right now and i'm out of my notes so it must be for you and above all god's saying that you still have access to this spirit's flow there came a sound like a mighty rushing a rushing wind a rushing flow still rushing even in 2021 and we were created created to be evidence of god's flow and yet many of us are in the flow of what our shame flow of what our pain flow of what our pride flow of what our fear has placed us in when i find peter in my text he's out of the flow he was walking around he was the evidence of jesus's work on the earth and now suddenly he looks like the evidence of the resistance he's up against how is it that you can walk with jesus experience the presence of jesus and yet find yourself in a moment where you don't even want to be connected with him at all this is exactly what happens in this text and i felt like this was worthy of conversation because as we are coming to a place where we as a community of believers are turning with intention on how we can become the evidence of god we must be willing to first take inventory of the areas of our life where we are still the evidence of our flesh the evidence of lust the evidence of addiction the evidence of trauma what happens to most of us is we think that if i am the evidence of god in this one particular area then i am the evidence of god in every area but my brothers and sisters that is not true you can be the evidence of god when it comes to how you support and lift up others but still the evidence of your abandonment issues and how you have relationships with others and when we come to a place where we recognize that if i am going to be the evidence of god then i must be willing to confront the things that are within me that keep me from being the evidence of god we find ourselves in situations like peter is in when peter finds himself in this situation from the outside looking in it's easy to say how could this happen to him and to be disappointed in the trajectory of his life but when i look at this scripture what i see is myself falling away what i see are moments in my own life where i thought i was strong enough to do something but what i would rather do is acquiesce but what i recognize also is that this moment in the text is not just about peter transforming into who god has called him to be it's also god pulling out what's in him that's going to keep him from becoming the evidence of god man i wish i could say that the way that i feel it in my spirit but there are moments when our circumstance is not meant to condemn us our circumstance is not meant to make us feel bad our circumstance is not meant to make us feel like we are not worthy of the calling that god has set before us instead our circumstances on assignment to reveal what's in us that is the evidence of what god cannot use you see god makes all things work together for his good but that does not mean that everything that we possess god is going to take with us to that next dimension there are some things that cannot go with you to the next dimension and unless god creates a circumstance that draws it out of you then you don't have the opportunity to attack it man i'm going to give you an example there's one of our children and i've been trying to point out to my husband an area of growth that this child needs to experience and i'm like babe you've got to see it i can't quite articulate it but i'm telling you that if we don't get a hold of this now it's going to be something that continues to be a struggle in their life the only problem is that he is never around for him to for him to see when that child is acting up because that's what they doing they're acting good and so what i'm trying to do is find a circumstance that will allow that side of that child to come out so when that side of the child comes out i can say honey that's what we need to attack that's exactly what's happening in your life right now there is a circumstance that's being produced and it's bringing all of your fears to the insecu into the surface and all of your insecurities to the surface and you're wondering to yourself god why is it that you're bringing all of this to the surface i would rather it be tucked away i would rather act like it doesn't exist at all but god says if i don't bring it to the surface then the evidence that that is producing in your life is going to go with you next to the next dimension and i don't want that thing to go with you to the next dimension and so i've created a circumstance that's going to pull it out of you and i've created a circumstance that's going to have peter denying me not so that peter can be embarrassed but so that peter can see what is down on the inside of him just a few chapters before this peter ends up telling jesus i would never deny you and yet because jesus knew what was in him he knew that this circumstance was going to bring out what was down on the inside of him and i just want you to know that we serve a god who will not allow the evidence of your abandonment the evidence of your trauma the evidence of what the enemy meant for evil to show up in your life until it has been burnt to the ground what we see in this text is god setting up peter for the evidence of what he has gone through to be burned the evidence of his fear to be burned and what you are experiencing right now in your life and in your circumstance is god saying that that evidence of your past that evidence of your shame that evidence of your pride that evidence of your ego that keeps showing up in your life and keeping you from getting in the flow has got to burn baby burn and i hear god saying that before i can move you before i can position you we've got some evidence to burn we've got some residue to burn we've got some insecurities some childhood struggles some childhood struggles that's gotta burn and i hear god saying that he's laying out the altar for the evidence to burn so that the evidence of god can show up in your life so that you can walk in the newness of who god has called you to be this right here this right here is burning evidence this circumstance anytime you start hearing that insecurity show up in your mind i want you to hear flames too because god is bringing it to the surface so that it can burn i hear god saying that i can't allow that thing to stay down on the inside of you so i gotta burn that evidence off of you i gotta burn that oh god i feel like preaching in this place because i remember when job said that when he goes through the fire he's going to be tried and he's going to come out as pure gold what level of confidence is this that if god put me in a situation where my weakness is on display where my insecurities are on display it is not so that he could ridicule me but just like jesus was going to be hung on that cross that is going to teach me about the resurrection power that if i'm going to become the evidence of god i'm going to do so from a place of humility and so i got to be taken down and i got to be a little embarrassed because in embarrassment there becomes humility and in humility there becomes hunger and god i'm hungry for it god i'm hungry for change god i'm hungry for transformation god i'm hungry to finally let this thing go god i'm hungry to start thinking differently i'm hungry to start speaking differently god i got evidence that needs to burn god i got evidence of what i went through evidence of the heartbreak evidence of how the disease changed me evidence of the anxiety showing up in my life keeping me from my purpose keeping me from being able to walk with jesus and now i'm standing with my enemies when i should be standing with the one who has the victory but because i'm too afraid to have a victorious mindset i'd rather shrink and stay small and pretend i'm not who i know you've called me to be but god's not gonna let peter nor you get away with staying away because let me tell you something about glory if peter was really running he would have left altogether oh god but when you've had a taste of glory you can only wonder but so far peter doesn't leave he doesn't back away instead he stays close enough for comfort but far from the fire my assignment to you is to remind you that the reason why you can't completely separate is because this is the developmental phase of you becoming evidence and in that developmental phase there are going to be moments where you do want to shrink and go away but at the end of the day there's always going to be a nudging that reminds you of who you really are despite what you try to deny i want to talk a little bit about how we shed from ourselves the evidence of who we are that we know doesn't serve what god is doing in our life a lot of times when i'm preaching or other people are preaching we talk about how god is just going to use everything and while i do know that god does cause all things to work together i also recognize that god doesn't leave us in the same shape that he finds us that there are moments along the way where god has a confrontation with the parts of us that cannot serve and who he has called us to be and if you we are not if we are not aware of our tendencies and the reality that not everything about me is something that is going to go with me then we will cling to what god is trying to change this is just who i am but who are you willing to become that's just how i do what i do but who are you willing to become in the process because you can hang on to you at the expense of missing it what is it that it is glory and so while you're hanging on to you god wants to show you glory i'm going to prove it to you let's go to second corinthians chapter 3 verse 17. it says now the lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty somebody's shouting already glory hallelujah god's called me to have liberty that makes me happy that makes me excited to know that wherever the spirit of the lord is i ought to be free but what keeps me from being free when i'm in the spirit of the lord because there are many people who have the spirit of the lord in their lives they have access to the spirit of the lord they watch sermons they watch messages but i still don't feel free what is this that's keeping me paul follows up with this in verse 18 he says but we all with unveiled faces now okay let's backtrack now the lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty but there's a but there okay that but is but we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the spirit of the lord so when we talk about shedding our evidence of what has caused us to be restrained and restricted the evidence of what keeps us confined when god wants to give us freedom god i want to be free enough to love i want to be free enough to forgive i want to be free enough to speak up without thinking i'm going to say something dumb god i want to really be free does anybody want to be free for real when we talk about what it requires to be free for real we must recognize that part of this takes place when we have an unveiled face this whole chapter is incredible but this unveiled face this part of the unveiled face is referring to when moses was in the presence of god and his face was so shining that he had that the israelites weren't able to look at him and then he puts a veil over his face but the veil is hiding the fact that he's not glowing the way he wants to gloat and so because he doesn't have that same glow he doesn't have that same freedom he doesn't have that same glory resting on his life he then starts to hide it but god says if you really want to experience freedom you got to take off that mask you have to take off that veil you have to be honest with me about who you are and where you are you have to be honest about the evidence that's on your life that's why you will hear us over and over and over again talk about therapy because therapy is an opportunity for you to unveil your face and see how the evidence of what you have experienced is showing up in your reality and then you have to determine god if this evidence continues to show up in my life is this evidence that you can use and if not can you take it from me my text tells me that with an unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the lord the glory is a mirror and when i take off my mask and i take off my need to be right when i take off my defense mechanism and i say god show me how i'm showing up in this relationship god show me how i'm showing up in this business god show me how i'm leading show me how i'm conducting myself show me my integrity show me my character without any mask without making me feel better god really showed me that in the presence of your glory that is when we experience transformation transformation must have a starting point and if i may offer you some practicals before our time ends i want you to consider when is the last time i really felt challenged and convicted to change the way i'm showing up in the world because i recognized that glory was staring at me oh god who would you be if you recognize that you were one decision away from accessing god's glory how would you communicate if you recognize that my words could be the one thing that unlocks someone's ability to experience god's glory and i'm not talking about god's glory as in a powerful moment in church i'm talking about the kind of glory that heals marriages i'm talking about the kind of glory that edifies your children i'm talking about the kind of glory that makes you pleasant to be around the kind of glory that makes people better just as a result of being connected to you the kind of glory that puts you in a position that you feel unqualified for but then shows you how god has qualified you before you even accepted the position i'm talking about the kind of glory that shows up in the midnight hour and wipes your tears in the middle of your depression if you want to see god's glory you have to be willing to take the mask off and say god this is who i am really but the more that i stare at your glory it makes me hungry for change the more that i stare at your glory i think i could become someone who could be a help to those around me the more that i stare at your glory the more that i believe that my life is not random that i am not just here to suffer the more that i stand at your glory god i get strength for the season i'm in i get focused for what is ahead of me god it is your glory that makes the difference and if i am gonna go from glory to glory to glory what i shed in between the stages of glory will be the evidence of what tried to hurt me the evidence of what tried to change me the evidence of what made me build a life that other people would applaud but what but was one that made me cry when i got home at night god your glory carries my peace god your glory carries my power your glory is the wisdom that i need for this situation and i'm tired of my way and i'm tired of hearing what else i should do and who i should be and how i should show up in the world god i just want to stare at your glory until it becomes clear who i am supposed to be it says that when we stand in the mirror the glory of the lord that we are transformed into the same image the more you stare at glory the more you become glory and once you become glory in in one area of your life god i see you making me glory as it relates to parenting my children i see you making me glory as i lead this business god i see you making me glory as i go into therapy god reveals another area he says if you're hungry for that glory wait until you see what i can do with your purpose if you're hungry with that glory wait until you can see what i can do in your prayer life there's somebody watching right now and you've never even tapped into prayer before and i hear god saying that if you tap into prayer there are literally miracles connected to your glory that there is breakthrough connected to your glory god says just keep staring at the glory just keep staring at the glory how do i stare at the glory the glory is all around you when the angels gotta peek down to heaven they said holy holy holy the whole earth is full of your glory i want to prophesy that you're going to see glory everywhere you go that you're going to see only what god can do everywhere you go that you won't just take it as a random act of kindness but you'll see it as a random act of glory that you'll see glory showing up in everyone's heart glory showing up and how you connect if you want to see glory become glory and watch how glory reverberates around everything connected to you you want to see glory in your marriage become glory in your marriage you want to see glory in your business become glory in your business god let it start with me god changed me first god help me to not be so full of pride that i can't show up and teach them how to be humble god show me your glory show it to me show it in me show it through me [Music] that i may become the evidence of god on the earth and sometimes we have to give god permission to burn the evidence [Music] and right now god is burning the evidence of the way you thought you had to show up burning the evidence of what the culture said you needed to be burning the evidence of who you became as a result to survive god i feel you who you become to survive may not be the same person you need to be to thrive and i hear god saying in this more to come season that we're in that you're going to have to burn who you became to survive so that you can encounter who god says you will need to be to thrive and just like in the scripture if you're going to burn that evidence you're going to have to build an altar i want to pray with you and i want this prayer to be an altar where you can come and lay those things that you know about in the things that are yet to be revealed that bears with it the evidence the evidence of who life forced you to become bitter that's my testimony constantly feeling like i had to defend myself because i thought people would think about me a certain way and yet now i can hardly receive because i'm always in defense mode so when we talk about burning evidence i can see the evidence of me being consumed with how other people would view me as a divorcee as a teen mom how it shows up even in my calling [Music] and i don't want to be standing outside of the gate like peter because i was too afraid to move forward god help me [Music] help me to lay myself bare in the presence of the lord and to stare at your glory from the lowliness of my brokenness i don't know if anyone's ever told you this but it's okay to be broken it's okay to not have it all together that is how we experience the glory of god i want to pray with you and as i'm praying i just want you to consider god has probably been showing you over the last few days if your life is anything like mine this message is just confirmation that there's some things in you that need to change that can only change if you're humble enough and god's glory reaches you i want you to bring to mind those things that have been fracturing your destiny those paths that have followed you even as you move towards glory because there are some bridges that are worth burning and the bridge to who you used to be is one of them the bridge to that insecurity the bridge to that anger the bridge to that violence the bridge to that addiction that is one worthy of burning and i want to prophesy in the name of jesus that you can burn that bridge and you don't have to live your life afraid that you're going to go back because the glory will burn that bridge and when the glory burns that bridge you never have to worry about going back to being that person i'm talking about a miracle we want to see the signs and wonder i hear god saying i want to make you a sign and wonder i want to do something so radical down on the inside of you that it shocks you that you're not addicted anymore that it shocks you that you're not angry anymore that it shocks you that you're not insecure anymore god says i want to burn that bridge that keeps pulling you back and i prophesy right now in the name of jesus that when you allow glory to invade your space that that bridge is going to burn and that not only will you cross it but because you crossed over it no one in your family will have to cross over that bridge again and if they ever do you're going to know where the matches are you're going to know where the gasoline is to teach them how to burn it what happens in your life is going to multiply throughout the generations because you're not going to be so selfish that you don't allow someone else to experience the glory spirit of the living god we pray for fresh fire god we pray that fresh fire would fall like never before let your fire fall on anything in us that is the evidence of what the enemy put in our path the enemy put sin in our path god and we're praying that your fire god would consume it consume every doubt consume every fear consume every stress consume every memory god and turn it for your glory god your glory your glory your glory takes trauma and turns it to gold your glory your glory your glory takes pain and turns it to gold your glory your glory your glory your glory over our house your glory over our mind your glory over our ambition your glory over our potential your glory over our children haven't even had them yet and i'm still prophesying glory glory over my nieces glory over my nephews the enemy meant it for evil but god will certainly turn into good and i will have a chain reaction that makes everything connected to me become the evidence that god worked in me and then threw me spirit of the living god i thank you for every person watching this message god i thank you that you gave me this word for them god let this word let this word invade their minds let it just rest let it hover god let that glory hover and hover and hover and as it hovers god let it bring to the surface that which the glory is called to burn and in its place god i thank you that you won't leave us barren nor will you leave ashes but because you give beauty for ashes god we know that there is nothing that you will burn that you will not return to us beautiful god we repent repent for thinking our way is better repent for doing it the way that we felt like it should be done or the way that it was projected over us god we repent for chasing man's glory over your glory god and we exit you would change our minds when you change our mind god let it change our hearts and change our actions we surrender we don't know what we're doing we don't know how to move from left to right without messing something up and yet if you lead us we know that you'll make all things new [Music] god i thank you that you're restoring marriages you're restoring hope you're restoring someone's mind someone's joy someone's peace someone's fire is coming back to them god because you're burning the mess and the mud that got onto them throughout this season thank you for making all things new in jesus name i pray amen can i give you some homework family if you know someone who's had a hard time just letting go they just keep clinging onto things they keep rehearsing the same paradigms over and over again you can be a witness by sending them this message by just saying hey listen i know you may or may not be into this kind of thing but i feel like there could be something in it that can help you allow this message to go throughout the earth and to share it with those who need it the most so that we can continue to become evidence and then make sure you are plugged into this series it's going to bless your life phenomenally it's already blessing my life and i am so looking forward to the opportunity to continue to be a witness not just that god is good not just that god is healing and restoring but because i have the evidence to show them i want to tell someone listen i once was lost but i am now found and that is the evidence that changes lives family i love you so much we love you and it is just the honor of our lifetime to serve what god is doing in your life may the peace of god be with you shalom shalom
