Communion & Message 07.01.18 - Touré Roberts

[Music] hallelujah can I hear the people of victory give praise to the God who is victorious come on somebody I hear the sound victory California to come come on let's just take a minute for victory come on just take a minute this is the No we have victory forever and always and to proclaim that victory we're gonna commune this morning and if you don't have one of the communion cups with the wafer just lift your hands Los Angeles how gate keepers will serve you here and LA just lift or here in Denver just lift your hands and and we'll make certain that our deacons get it to you we're gonna commune and here is the reality commuting commuting is a confession it is a proclamation of the victory that we have because of what Jesus did for us it literally says as often as you commune you do proclaim the Lord's death until he returns well why do I want to be excited about our Lord dying well you want to be excited about what died in his body before he was raised up here's what it says the word says that God made him who had no sin to become sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in him that word sin literally means to miss the mark so it speaks to limitations it speaks to failures there may be some people in here right now and you're holding on to something that happened to you in your past something that was perhaps traumatic or something that was damaging but how many of us know even in the cross that issue has been redeemed in other words you don't have to live in this sense of I'll never get past this I'll never get over this because it happened to me the cross makes amends the cross has healing not just for your weaknesses but for even things that happen to you that harms you and hurts you and so communion is when we take a moment and we remember what Jesus did it says Isaiah 53 it says that the chastisement that brings us wholeness that brings us peace was placed on his body that word literally is Shalom it means wholeness so his body was broken so that we might be whole and so when we commune it is far more than some religious ordinance or tradition when we commune we are lining with an eternal event that took place at the cross it wasn't just to heal those who were witnessing it in that moment it would be to heal those anyone in the future generations that would look to that cross anybody looking to the Cross today anybody need healing today God God I didn't healing in my mind I need healing in my body I need healing in my life thank you that once and for all you put to death that what which was bringing death to my life that's what communing is all about so in this moment I believe that as we receive the powerful work of the cross afresh something's going to happen in us I believe if you're here and you have a spirit of heaviness on you weightiness you're weighted down by something I believe that that spirit of heaviness is gonna break today I believe if you're here and you recently got some news about something going on in your body I believe today as you look to the cross of fresh God's gonna bring healing to you I feel this in my spirit so we're gonna come you now what I want you to do is I want you to first grab this wafer peel the top if you haven't already grab the wafer put it in your hand now the wafer is representative of Christ's body and it says that his body was broken for our wholeness so I want you to think in other words his body was broken for that which was breaking us so I want you to think about what might be coming against you right now because in just a second we're gonna take this wafer between our two fingers and we're literally gonna squeeze our fingers together until we break what's trying to break us so I want you to think about what you might be going through I want you to think about what may be coming against you right now and as we look to the cross and as we look at his body and as we get that thing inside that thing in our head we're gonna envision that thing between our fingers in the body of Christ and it's gonna break are you tracking with me so take about five seconds think about what's coming against you think about what has the nerve to come against you if God is for you who can be against you think about what has the audacity to be threatening your pre peace to be threatening your life to be threatening your resources to be threatening your family think about it right now and get that thing between your fingers and once you see that thing clear I want you to look at the cross and then bring your fingers together until that thing breaks come on break it just break it and don't keep breaking it until you feel that thing broken off of your life don't keep breaking it until you feel that anointing breaking the yolk Christ is the anointing the anointing is here and we experience the anointing when we look to the cross break that finger again oh come on if it's generational break it bow if it's something in your break it if it's something that's coming into your mind break him he says take e this is my body that was broken for you let us commune then he said take the cup which is my blood and this is symbolic of a covenant that I'm making with you today a covenant that I will never ever turn my back on hallelujah you're in covenant with God it's a blood covenant God is not a man that he should lie when he makes a promise he keeps it he says lo I'll be with you even unto the end of the age this is my covenant with you and what I love about the blood of Jesus is it also separates the holy from the unholy hallelujah and so I want you to hold the cup up over your head symbolic up the blood of Jesus being over your head that no weapon formed against you shall prosper that the blood of Jesus will repel everything negative everything evil everything wicked and that it would attract blessing and favor in Christ let us receive of his blood now one more thing I want you to do by His stripes were healed Healing is real and so if you're here if you're in Los Angeles even if you're watching via livestream I want you to connect with this if you're here and you either have a sickness in your body that you need God to heal you from or you're experiencing some sort of oppression some sort of spiritual oppression you felt very weighty if that's you right where you are don't worry about if you need a healing in your body or there's some oppression on you I just want you to lift your hand right where you are now if you are in the room if you're here in Denver if you're in Los Angeles and you feel power in your hands what does that mean you feel like a tingling in your hand what I want you to do if you feel a tingling in your hand it might be something you felt before it might be something you've never felt before what you're getting ready to do is you're getting ready to become a conduit of healing for the person who's holding their hand up because they needed healing and so if you feel something in your hand and you're next to someone who has their hand up I just want you to take the hand that you feel something in and just gently place it on their shoulder and just say in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus come on in the name of just just in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus then say be healed then just say be healed in the name of Jesus God's gonna do it through you God's gonna do it through you God's gonna do it through you God's gonna through it through you and and when you feel that virtue or that tingling go out of your hand take hand back and praise God and if you here and you felt when they touched you something left and something broke off of you you take a moment and praise God let's celebrate we are in God's house the size of power you come in one way and you leave out because God is good like that hallelujah do me a favor just take a moment and celebrate God just like I just dare you just just give him praise so if you are gonna get confirmation Papa has left supernatural supernaturally some of you are gonna find yourself again you've had oppression and depression and things have been heavy on you but when that person touched you it wasn't that person touching you it was Jesus touching you through that person in this moment of communion and that it's lifting off of you right now so you can go on and live your life so that you can go on and be great for Jesus here's what it says about Jesus in Isaiah 61 Isaiah 61 was a prophecy of what Jesus would come and do and what he would say and do in jesus's later on in Luke chapter 4 says that same thing but he says this the Spirit of the Lord is upon me he has anointed me to preach deliverance to the captives the opening of the prison doors are those that are bound to comfort those those that mourn to give the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness and on and on and on in other words that's what the anointing does when you come into an atmosphere of worship when you come into an atmosphere of praise when you come into an atmosphere where prophecy is going for there is always available for you in that atmosphere break through yokes breaking mines being renewed and physical healing taking place if you recognize and can identify and since that the king of glory is in this house and just help me worship that King is it honest just reach out and receive whatever you [Music] roughest on either Korean declare in [Music] may the joy of your salvation return may you find yourself may you find yourself there's some are senseless and you have lost yourself because of tribulation because of struggle because of difficulty in a hit God's saying you're gonna find yourself today you're gonna find yourself today you're gonna get your smile back today you're gonna get your joy back today you're gonna get your fight back today are you tracking with me all goodness thank you lord [Music] Thank You Lora thank you Jesus he's the King of glory hallelujah that's who we came to see that's who we came to be where we came to hang out with the King of glory in this atmosphere everything I need is here he prepares a table for me even him my enemies my [Music] [Music] I just hear the word restoration the word restoration is in the spirit right now waters for you station [Music] [Music] lost restored [Music] [Music] this is too much this is too much you thought you were walking into church you walked into a vortex of restoration but sometimes a thing has been gone for so long that you lose your expectation for restoration that's why I keep saying it because I want you to catch it God is a restorer that's what he specializes in he holds time in his hands let me get into this hallelujah we value your presence Lord we're grateful for you Lord there's nobody like you hallelujah you are the great I am Lord you are the Promise Keeper you make ways out of no way your son's in you always come true the righteous will never be forsaken nor their seed begging bread we thank you lord I just want to take a minute I don't want to move past this moment to quickly pick twice I just wanna knowledge that you are here many would praise God for his wonderful works and His goodness toward men it's a song and it just keeps repeating that like every few verses it just keeps repeating oh that men would praise God for his wonderful works its mercy and goodness it just keeps on oh that men would praise God it's almost to say that sometimes in order to unlock into your life what God has put preordained for your life you have to praise Him and it's it's not even like God is withholding something from you because he has this this this this pride or low self-esteem it's not that I think that God understands that to praise Him is to have a consciousness of expectation and he knows that we cannot receive without expectation so to praise Him is to see him right because we know we cannot receive we can only receive on the level that we perceive all right are you hearing me I can only perceive on the level I can only receive on the level that I perceive yeah that's why he says to the shrewdest I'll show myself through to this I'll show myself that because he only has you he only has the ability to move within the context of your capacity to receive that's why this person get healed this person may not and the opportunity was there for both but one person could perceive God as a healer the other could not and was consumed without and as a result of that could not get what was readily available in the room in the gospel it says that when Jesus came about and when he made moves it says la it says that the power was present to heal every time you have an encounter with God every time you walk into the house of God where God has lifted up there is power project but if you are so distracted by your circumstances that you cannot perceive that power you will walk out without receiving whatever it was that the spirit brought you to the house of God to receive I don't want my inability to perceive to limit what I can receive and so that's what I pray the prayer that the disciples prayed lord I believe help my unbelief in other words I do believe at a certain level but I have an unbelief for the higher levels and it isn't the lower levels that I'm worried about I need a high level miracle I need a high level blessing and breakthrough help my unbelief so that I can get what you have for me if you're in this house right now if you're in Los Angeles California right now and what you need from God is big I dare you to take a moment and to make him big with your place [Music] [Music] [Music] and your glory too hard for you all God is getting ready to take your praise too he's getting ready to take your praise to another level because he's getting ready to cause you to receive on the next level [Music] halleluyah halleluyah I feel something so strong in this house I feel something so strong all the way in Los Angeles I feel something so strong it's coming through the online campus something nice and powerful and strong it's happening in this moment in this [Music] can't rush moments like this I feel got work I feel God working Alleluia from the inside out I feel God working on your insides some of you right now you feel fire on the inside right now some of you right now you don't know what's going on in your stomach in your chest but something is happening I'll tell you what's happening he is enlarging you from the inside out he's giving you capacity for your destiny are you tracking with me capacity whoa Jesus [Music] yeah capacity God says in his word open your mouth wide and I will fill it in other words to the degree that you can open up with expectation is it agree that I will feel you how wide can you open a cutter but how wide can you receive how how wide how wide how wide how I can you stretch yourself I feel the Holy Ghost God has given some people new wineskins right now new wineskins because God God is getting ready to pour new wine in you so that you can manifest new things beyond you hallelujah God God God is changing he's changing you is changing you all Jesus hallelujah hallelujah he's changing you because it's going to take a different you to manifest what he has for you from the inside out hallelujah hallelujah we receive it God we receive it over much we receive a Lord yesterday is gone hallelujah forgetting those things that are behind do it in the hearts of your people he loves you so much family hear me hear me he loves you so much so much so much for I know the plans that I have for you says the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you to give you a future and a hope [Music] he loves you he loves you and I know and I know and I know some of you feel alone and you feel like you are the only one that really has your back and that's a lie straight out of the pit I hear God saying I know you I see you and I've got you I know you feel lonely I know all about that trust me says Jesus I know you feel lonely but I'm telling you I got you I'm telling you I'm telling you I've got you I promise says god I've got you you are not by yourself you are more than what you think and there are more with you than you think and this way that I take you since the Lord can be lonely and can be scary and can be intimidating and sometimes you will want to acquiesce to normal but I didn't choose you for normal I didn't choose you for normal I choose you I chose you for special I chose you not for ordinary but for extraordinary and when you walk through where I'm sending you it's gonna make sense I'm trying to move on [Music] for some of you you're entering into a season much like a season that I went through and I went through a season where God moved in my heart about something and he told me to to go and to fight and to soul and I went and I fought and I sold in this particular area and I swung at it with all that I had and it seemed like nothing was happening I mean like I wasn't throwing jabs I was throwing power crosses everything that I had in Jesus I'm hitting that mountain with and it seemed like that mountain would not move and there were times where I quit I wanted to quit but God said nope because I told you to go fight that mountain and I will go back in there and I start swinging at it again with all my might and the mountain still seemed like it never crack and I wanted to stop and I go back again and I'm hitting it and it doesn't seem like I'm moving the mountain at all but I had this resolve in my spirit and this resolve in my spirit was I'm gonna trust God and I'm gonna just keep on swinging as long as I've got breath in my body as long as I've got strength in my arms I'm gonna keep on swinging at this thing and you know what if I die swinging then I die swinging but I'm not gonna stop swinging because God told go after it so I'm swinging and I'm swinging and I'm swinging and I'm swinging and I'm so focused on swinging that I look up one day and the mountain was behind me it wasn't a magic moment see sometimes we're waiting for these magic moments but you know what the magic moment is in you continuing to fight you continuing to press you continuing to do the work you continuing to swing at it [Music] there's over you your rear view [Music] [Music] it's gonna be behind you because God wants to show you that you were greater than it although I sometimes I would say this and I'm done sometimes God puts the heart thing in front of you to reveal you holy spirit helped me to see it the way I see sometimes family God puts the hard thing in you to bring out you because really you are perceiving it as a mountain but really in comparison to what you really are it is a molehill are you tracking with me but you have to swing at it to develop your potential are you tracking with me to develop your potential potential is real potential is the reality of what's in you potential is the reality of what's in you most of us live in the perception of what's in us not the reality potential is real but so is perception so what God will do is he will put something in front of you that challenges your perception of you and he will say David go over there and fight Goliath now here is the truth about that battle Goliath should have been afraid of David because the reality of it is David was greater than the Goliath but he had to run up on Goliath to manifest and to prove to himself and everybody else around him that he was greater than Goliath you're greater than your Goliath hallelujah I don't care what your Goliath is be greater than I've had you standing for a long time I want you to go ahead and sit down and I'm gonna excuse you from standing for the reading of the word thank you Jesus thank you Lord whoo thank you Jesus Thank You 1c family what we really want every time we gather is an encounter that's what we want we don't want no program programs are wonderful that's all great and find anything wrong with it but what we want more than that is is an encounter and that's why we ought to build the program around the encounter not the other way around this guy wants to do something I want to share with you a little bit I feel like I don't want to over saturate this time with you but there's a word in my heart and I want to read a little bit I want to read I want to read Genesis chapter 8 and beginning at verse 15 I'm gonna read just a few passages and we're gonna talk and it will be done for today and this is after Noah and his family in the ark land on dry land and his after the storm if you would it says thank God spoke to Noah saying go out of the ark you and your wife and your sons and your sons wives with you bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth so that they may abound on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth so Noah went out and his sons and his wife and his sons wives with him every animal every creeping thing and every bird and whatever creeps on the earth according to their families went out of the ark then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean animal of every cling bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar and the Lord smell a soothing aroma then the Lord said in his heart I will never again curse the ground for man's sake although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done God goes on to say while the earth remains seedtime and harvest seedtime and harvest cold and heat winter and summer and day and night shall not cease while the earth remains these things shall be in existence these things shall not cease seed time and harvest cold and heat we know that really well particularly if you live in Denver Colorado come on somebody cold one day hot the next glory to God LA would get a little bit of that - these things shall not cease in the earth as long as the earth remains these things will be in play seedtime and harvest cold and heat winter and summer and day and night but I want to focus on this seed time and harvest now I want to draw your attention over to Matthew chapter 6 verse 1 through 4 it says take heed that you not that you do not do your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven therefore when you do a charitable deed do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory from men assuredly I say to you they have their reward but when you do a charitable deed do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing that your charitable deed may be in secret Greek word there literally is hidden that may be hidden that your charitable deed may be in secret or hidden and if you do so your father who sees in secret will reward you himself he will himself rewards you openly and then Galatians six and nine says and let us not be weary while doing good for in due season we will reap you will reap if you do not lose heart if you do not faint if you do not give up God thank you so much for what you've already done in our midst today Jesus you are absolutely wonderful we love you you are bread to the fool you are water to the soul you are our best friend you are our guide you are our counselor you are our strength you are our peace you are our hope you are our sure foundation you are our everything we absolutely love you and everything about You Father and God as we dig into your word Lord open our eyes and lighten us God show us something we've never seen before encourage us affirm us bless us increase our peace do all the things that take place when your table and spread and your sons and daughters feast I thank you for wisdom and revelation clarity and strength and powerful prophecy that it will take root in the hearts of your people and bear great fruit in their lives in Jesus name Amen amen I the the title of the thought that I'm going to share with you today is really a declaration and it's the declaration and I want this to be your declaration and I want you to use this declaration as a weapon every time that you are discouraged and you feel like things are taking longer than they should or you you can't see how things are going to turn out the way that God has promised I want you to make that disc declaration against those thoughts and against those feelings and that declaration is but I've got seed just say that but I've got seed but I've got seed I've got seed I've got seed I've got seed I've got see do me just say a little bit I've got seed I've got seed I've got seed I've got seed um you know one of the things that I'm learning as I continue to live and to walk with God and to live with God is how much God has made available to his children that we oftentimes many of us don't get a chance to take advantage of what God created the heavens and the earth and you know he created all these things man and everything and in six days and on the seventh day he rested and it literally says and he rested from all of his work that he had done he was able to rest because he had set in motion a system that would guarantee that everything that man would need to live life to the full to have life and life more abundantly had been set in motion that's why he was able to rest there is no indication in the scripture otherwise that God went back to work he creates in six days he it's everything up then he sits down and says boom let everything unfold that is gonna unfold because I've already dead done it to a certain degree it's not that God does these new miracles really what happens is we come into alignment with the space the time and the faith and the timing that the miracle that he is predetermined is going to take place in transpire so it's not necessarily that God did us did it for us then he did it when he set everything else in motion and so it's our job to come into alignment not with what God is gonna do but actually what God has already done I wish I could I wish I could say that better in other words what if he did it already I'm just waiting on the timing and my own alignment so that I can experience what he already did perfect example is it says about Jesus Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world huh wait a minute what Jesus the lamb slain I thought the lamb was slain 2,000 years ago well yes that was the manifestation of it but it had been set in motion even before there was a need for our Redemption are you checking with me that's why it says even in Jeremiah 1 before I formed you in your mother's womb I knew you what yeah beat before you got here I already knew you I already ordained you all these things have happened in the realm of God in the realm of time is where those things play out so so what I'm getting at is things got when he created everything he set some things in motion he set divine principles and divine realities in motion and these all will benefit us if we understand them but if we don't understand them we can miss out he says in his word that my people perish for not a lack of my resources not a lack of what I have set in motion already they didn't say that he says my people perish because I have a lack of knowledge they don't know what I did they don't know what they have and they don't know how certain things work and so what I want to talk about today in particular is what God was talking about when he dealt with and with with Noah and he talked about how while the earth remains there is a system a divine ecosystem that I have set up in the earth called seedtime and harvest another way to put it is sowing and reaping sowing and reaping not as some abstract side concept but as a fundamental reality and a fundamental divine principle that his sons and daughters must understand it's a divine echo system that the God established in the earth and as long as the earth remains this system seedtime and harvest sowing and reaping will be the human beings reality sowing and reaping ultimately says this that if I invest gracias if I invest the right things in the right environment I will receive right things back only multiplied if I sew the right things if I invest the right thing in the right environment I will receive right things back only multiplied if you're taking notes write this down God's provision for your future is in the seed you possess today say it again God's provision for your future is in the seed you possess today do me a favor turn to your neighbor and say you got seed and this is important because sometimes if we're honest if you're like me sometimes you are wondering how God's gonna do it you have you ever had a promise and nothing at the same time can I talk to some real people Lausanne just cut out some real people - have you ever had a promise and nothing nothing in your hand but a promise in your heart you have been there for some time I'll be honest with you yeah I've had moments in my life where God had just caused me to believe that that certain things would be my reality and every once in a while on the way to hopefully getting there I will look at what I have in my hand and say God how in the world are you going to create what you promised out of my nothing anybody I've been there before and one day relatively recently I had a moment like that and I asked God that question got that how are you going to bring to pass what you promised me and I have nothing that looks anywhere remotely close like what that is you have been there before and what what makes it worse is when time starts ticking not only did I not have anything in my hand when you promised it to me two years ago here at two years in it I still don't have anything in my hand that looks like it will become what you said I would have Oh what you gonna do am I the only person if I'm only person just if you're here if I'm in the right room just just holla at me just yes okay huh come on come on la ha ha if I holla at me and I begin to question I'll be honest I begin to question like how is it going to happen sometimes you gotta just get flat-out outright real with God and say God how is it gonna happen and you know what he said he said buy your seed see see your see has in it the provision for your future your future is not in your harvest of today your future is in your see see your assurance should never be in your harvest because your harvest once was your seed can I take my time and each year see most of us have a see mentality and not a see mentality so so we only have comfort and we only have assurance when we can see we believe that if we don't see it we don't have it and so we only have peace when we see but God said that is not the way it works what you see is the byproduct of a former seed and so your future is not predicated by what you're looking at now your future is predicated by the sea that's in your hand today let me show you something let me show you something if we go to Genesis chapter one and verse 11 and this is the story of creation this is after God has created the heavens and the earth and he starts talking about what he's gonna happen on the earth remember as long as the earth remains there will be what seedtime and harvest so now he's dealing with the earth and look at what he says in verse 11 it says then God said let the earth bring forth grass right that's harvest okay but then he says he starts talking this other talk let the earth bring forth grass the herb that yields seed and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind whose seed is in itself so he's talking about harvest and seed he's not simply talking about seed for the sake of harvest he's talking about seed for the sake of harvest with seed which will ensure more harvest and seed and more harvest and seed and more harvest and see so the future is always in the seed it is not in the harvest he makes more of a big deal about the seed than he does the harvest because harvest can come and go but if I have saved my future is set because if I have seed it's going to continue to produce and to produce and to produce and to produce and to produce that's why he was able to rest I don't have to work anymore because everything that I create I put a seed in and that seed will continue to print or above I'm sorry that seed will continue to produce and multiply so the guarantee of my future is not in the harvest that I see it is in the seed that is in the crown getting ready in due season to become the harvest that I'm expecting can I teach today so I therefore cannot look at what I have to be assured about my future I need to be able to see watch this like Jesus in secret this is where that Matthew 6 text comes in now I know we make it all about the Pharisees doing stuff to be seen but there's a deeper principle he basically says that if you only function and operate off of that which you can see in the natural or be affirmed by the natural then you have your reward oh let me take my time and take my time he says stop doing things for a natural response if you do something for a natural response that's all you're gonna get I love the fact that this church in both LA and in Denver is full of volunteers it's full of volunteers it's incredible they're hired staffing but but full of volunteers and even the hired staff volunteer are you tracking with me I love that and the reason why I love that is because if you only do something based on an exchange in other words I'm only gonna do this if you do this for me then the only thing that you can get is what you're demanding in that moment there is no see that there is no God cannot move in it he cannot multiply it you are trading instead of sowing and when you trade instead of sowing your limited because the only thing that you can get is what you can get and when you get it that's it but if you so if you sow in secret like the Bible talks about you're not doing it for man's reward you're doing it for God's reward it says the father who sees in secret will reward you openly and when he rewards you because it was seed it will have a multiplied dynamic to it that is now no longer quantifiable in other words if I say well I'll only do this for you if you pay me this then all I'm getting is what you pay me I'm shortchanging myself if I say see you've got to leave room I'm not saying don't do business I do business but I also do business with an understanding that I'm a seats or sometimes I do things that are not worth me because I'm not doing it for you I'm doing it for God I feel the Holy Spirit and if I do cuz if I do it for you all I will get is what you can give me but if I do it for God he will open up the windows of heaven over my life and bring me harvest and guess what that harvest has in it seed it is a poverty mentality to say I'm only gonna do it if you do if you do this for me it's poverty because you're stuck with man's reward you stuck with man's award and man's reward is not harvest it's the harvest I feel the Holy Spirit of God on that it's that harvest it's not seed and so it says seed it talks about seed being in secret you do this in secret that word literally means hidden and that's the challenge with sowing let me just tell you right now that's a challenge so that's what we all struggle the challenge with sowing is that you got to not see it follow mm-hmm you gotta be willing not say for a little while it's in secret but guess who's seeing in secret you might not see it but god I feel this for somebody somebody needs to know that God has kept track of every seed you sold in him every prayer every act of service every sacrifice every financial offering every time he sees in secret you do it for man boom he don't care nothin about that you got your reward I can't do it you did it for man you did it for what you can get for yourself I can't do anything with that oh but when you did it for me oh but when you sold it in secret oh but when you trusted me in and I see every single one turn to a neighbor right now and say you got seed you got seed you got C and C and C a lot of times a lot of times I'm giving land a plane a lot of times we look at people and they look successful and they might have quote unquote more success than us but we have more seed than them oh you ain't ready you ain't ready you ain't ready and if you don't see it right you'll know I feel God I fear not talking to somebody in LA I'll tell you I feel God I don't talk about somebody in LA something's wrong right but I feel God on this you're looking at the next person and you're saying ding they're so successful but you don't even realize that your harvest is getting ready to show up because you have sown so much seed over the years and in due season you gonna reap sea harvest changes everything harvest changes everything harvest harvest will never betray you and so and so watch this and so you've got some people I feel as those from you you're looking at some people and it seemed like they got everything not realizing that what you might be looking at is their reward for man and the reward for man is coming to a close and so you have been slightly envious of the prosperity of the wicked not realizing that that while the wicked has been prospering you've been sowing seed you are you have an investment God is seeing what you've done in secret and in due season he's gonna reward you openly and I just census for some of you some of you are going to be a mystery to other people because you are gonna be somebody that came out of nowhere they're gonna be like well how did you get here you didn't come through the normal channels you didn't pay your dues and you're gonna say yeah baby but it's harvest time why you out there and not giving God glory I was going to church I was praying I was so you got see do you rich you you're a trust-fund baby you got seen and when your time comes harvest it's gonna happen and it's gonna change everything you got seed never underestimate the power of seed and God never forgets about seed see see sowing is for today harvesting is for tomorrow let me tell you why the sowing season is so hard I'm about to make sense out of a lot of things for some of you I'm gonna tell you what a sowing season it's so hard it's hard because it's in secret it oftentimes goes unrecognized outwardly did you know when no one puts on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter ha you stood in the gap for somebody in your family nobody puts on on Instagram where you what you served in your church that you served in your ministry or you you went on a missions field or you you gave to the poor you laid it down see see that's what makes that's what makes it hard some mix of sowing season artists because feels like nobody sees it it feels like nobody nobody sees how hard you work and nobody sees how difficult it is nobody sees how you're not compromising and you're like man you know and all of us want to be affirmed and all of us want to be told that we're doing a good job but but the difficult thing in the sowing season is that as hidden no one's posted on Instagram about it [Music] you're not walking across the stage getting a reward for sewing so it's hard but there is another season and that's the season of repay and there cannot be a season of sowing without a season of reaping God said as long as the earth remains there will be seedtime and harvest and I'm gonna tell you as I gotta wrap this thing up and I'm gonna tell you what's one of the most amazing seasons to be in and I'll call it the season of abundance and family here me here's what the season of abundance looks like it is when there is a convergence between seasons it's when all of a sudden because you are never out of the sowing season you're never out of that because that's what we do if we stop sewing our future is not guaranteed so that's why it says in Proverbs a fool sleeps in harvest a full sleeps in summer why because you assume that you arrive no harvest has nothing to do with what you are sowing today it has to do with what you sold yesterday are you tracking with me and so one of the most amazing seasons that I believe prophetically that some of you particularly you have who have been sewing for a long time you're getting rid on you getting ready to step into this season and it's the season when when the season of sowing and the season of reaping begin to converge and it's an incredible thing because it feels like abundance because you are reaping and sowing at the same time see when you were just in a sowing season you you have to it's hidden for a long time if the seed is in the ground and it's frustrating because you don't see anything springing up but then you move into this time where God says your due season has a row gotta fill it your disease has arrived and the next thing you know you are sowing and reaping immediately and sowing and reaping immediately and there is abundance in your life and it is Deuteronomy 28 style which says that I will come upon you and overtake you with blessings and I want to prophesy to somebody who has been sowing in tear God's saying your time is not just season is now you are ready to come to a time of abundance because heaven have seen in Jesus name if that is for you make a minute and shout unto God [Music] - it even soul and so much receive that word if it's with you [Music] this come hallelujah that's why he said be not weary in your well doing for into season you are gonna reap if you don't give up stay let me try to wipe you out I feel God before your harvest came but the is a liar you know you are made boys gifts they tried to wipe you out to take your life but soap is upon me Oh take a minute I'll take a minute I'm not gonna just Bubastis take a minute take a minute and receive it get it off get it off get it off I'm not even gonna move to the next point until you receive that lay hold of that thing right now baby hold it this word is for you is for you hallelujah hallelujah you've got seed you thought you were broke now baby you got seed you thought you are futureless no baby you got seed it ain't over the one who sees in secret has been tallying your C hallelujah he's seen every cry he's seen every tear he's seen every sacrifice he's seen every time you pressed on when you wanted to quit you have got C in the ground and he's gonna reward you openly openly openly he's not a liar it's not a liar hallelujah I probably need to be done hallelujah thank you Jesus hey hallelujah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know you might feel like you ain't got nothing but you got seed you've got seed in you and seated in the ground there's more to you than you think God is not finished with you your harvest is coming he hasn't forgotten about you never forgotten about you what type of God would that be a cup of divine banker would that be you have put your blood your sweat your tears your resources into the things of God and he's gonna be like and unjust banker no no no no no no no baby no no seedtime and harvest for some of you I'm telling you watch this it's gonna be so amazing that you are gonna reap from places you did not so you're gonna reap where you didn't so now notice I didn't say you were gonna reap when you didn't something oh that's now I said I said you're gonna reap where you did not sow because seed seed continues to multiply it's not dead so I want to say something - just a few groups and I'm done I want to pray there's some and you've been sowing for a long time and I just gave you your word you're getting ready to come into a harvest time and it's gonna make it all make sense I got so many stories you can watch the nine o'clock service I talked about a few I've got so many stories where I was just sewing and sewing and sewing and sewing and sewing and sewing and it just seemed like man I guess I'm just a sore forever and you begin to define your life by sowing and sacrifice and not reaping sowing it takes a while it's gotta be hidden it's gonna be hitting for a while you don't see it and see that's why you got to see it by faith because the enemy wants to make you forget about it and there's some people I know right now you've been serving your church serving a ministry giving faithfully and serving your family four years four years and it's easy to believe if I was enemyís I try to make you think that it was over - you know if I was your enemy I would do that make you think just because you can't see it it's not there I would do that if I were you even the things that you forget God doesn't even things you forget about seeds you sow years ago are just now ripening and just now maturing because they the harvest is more valuable now than it would have been then somebody needs to kiss that in their spirit the reason why the harvests in your mine was delayed and it wasn't but the reason why it felt like it was delayed is because the harvest would mean more to you and the world around you now then it would have when you wanted it to come this is the wisdom of God it's the wisdom of God his thoughts are higher than our thoughts his ways are higher than our ways in other words the way that we would choose to bring for something to come to pass the way we would choose our harvest is different from the way that he would manifest harvests because he is saying with a complete 360 we are seeing with just this are you checking with me it's gonna be better to that group I say I believe you getting ready to come into this convergence where you're reaping is gonna meet up with your soul they're gonna be touching and it's gonna feel like abundance and he's gonna amaze you and and just blow you completely away [Music] and you're gonna have to wait a little longer but this time wait with this understanding wait with the sense that you have wealth within you that changes everything it changes how you wait as long as I know you see my seed I can go on a little further and work a little harder I I could go on as long as I know as long as I know you're counting every tear you're counting it's gonna be a little longer but the timing will be perfect it will be brilliant and to the last group that you you don't really have much seed in the ground not in the ground of the kingdom I want to say this to you and I don't want to be this is not negative but I want to tell you the truth you can't have harvest where there is no seed it just seedtime and harvest while the earth remains that is it seedtime and harvest you have to be able to call upon some seed I can't call upon what I don't have in the ground I can't go to the bank and ask them for dividends on my portfolio if I have no portfolio tell my cash me out how how how much of that Wow and I'm saying I want that group to move from a sea mentality to a seed mentality a sea mentality is limited business owners business owners of which I am have multiple businesses be honest with you don't treat your business like God is not in it don't don't do that don't don't treat it like it's yours and you do whatever you want to do with it and then have your spirituality and your faith separate don't do that you're playing yourself God is the one who gave you the business he gave you the ability he gave you the knowledge he gave you the resources guess what it's actually his business that he is allowing you the stewardship to run don't separate him out from it because you'll be capped and watch this and I'll just feel this for some of you if you don't get God in your business you gonna you're not gonna ever be able to retire that's pathetic straight from God if you don't get God in your business you will never be able to retire and you will always need to be pulling and moving and hustling because you will not have experienced the abundance that will give you the grace to retire I don't know who that's for but it's for somebody get God in your business there are some practical examples chick-fil-a in an out burger was a mess let me say that well this is California y'all know this was the last time you've seen an empty in an out burger was the last time you've seen forever 21 going out of business these are businesses that they understand they have been entrusted with the storage ships over and they're prospering and they're thriving and they can be generous because even their business is seed last thing I must say is this and I don't say this to brag at all and that's not my heart my spirit you know me but uh but I had the most incredible experience yesterday oh my god I'm blessed I'm blessed even by hearing just recounting it I'm blessed by it the Lord put it in my heart to give away a car that I own and I'm not talking about one you can send the backyard and you got to dust it off and you give it away and you got to tell now you got to turn it to the left two or three times and and to put it in getting off I'm talking about oh it's nice and not anybody in here or in LA would refuse this car I mean it's nice and God told me to give it away he told me that I was yes nice okay he told me he told me to give it away that I was going to give away the car and so the question simply was to who you know I was waiting I knew I had to give it away so you know it's all washed up and I kiss you I mean is this a nice car late-model luxury car be honest with you it's nice it's dope black on black Oh anyway I'm sorry I spill them but I'll take it back nothing no buts and God said God said God said so that God give it away give it to somebody there's somebody that needs their car more than you give it away and so it was a matter of who and we my wife and I just so happen to be in the presence of someone and she said yeah I'm gonna have to had to get another car and it just right here must be like she's the one and and and and so right there on the spot you know we were talking and I'm like I got a car for you and she's actually driven the car she knows the car and I didn't notice she loves that car I had no idea and so she's like no mr. Oz I can't say yes or no yes yes you can you got is your car she cried and let me tell you something man I family I promise I won't say there's any bows there was nothing there was no greater feeling you know what I'm saying because because it was see you see she cried and I had to run to the airport and she's my wife cause she cried all the way you know all the way out the door you know and it just you want to get to a place where you're not asking God all the time your prayers are about like God what you know pay my rent or pay my mortgage huh that's fine you gotta go from level to level but you want to get to a place where you are sowing and reaping you're in such this convergence because you have been faithfully sowing and reaping where your prayers are God please show me whose mortgage to pay next week please with family their levels to this thing and you can't get there with this C mentality you could only get there with the C mentality here's the last thing I'll say but see the seed has a dynamic of not just multiplication but acceleration in it so there's some you might be thinking man what God showed me I'm too old to do that I can't you know if I were 21 then I can get there but you know I'm 47 I'm 57 I'm 77 whatever I'm 30 whatever you get down but I want you to understand that the seed that multiplication itself has acceleration in is not a one-to-one ratio in other words you're not past your time and God can fast-track you via acceleration and multiplication to bring you to a place as if you had started when you were 19 years old [Music] God when he approached Abraham family he said this he said I'm gonna bless you he said I'm gonna make your name great and you are going to be a blessing in other words the whole purpose of him blessing Abraham the waited he blessed Abraham is so that Abraham will be a blessing God is going to elevate some of your mentality [Music]
