Destroying Stigmas | Pastor Ryan Cole | Empowered TV

I have a lot to say about pastor Ryan the madam at 17 both his parents are here and they are sons and daughters of a legacy which they passed one to their son they're Christians and at 17 this man of God decided this is what I want to do for the rest of my life and he made a decision he drew the line he's been serving the Lord since he was a young boy we he shares stories of his grandma and grandpa he was young and they would just carry him from service to service to young really to know what they were doing but there was a mental there was oil that was poured on him and passed down a lot of people talk about what they did before they're called and how they ran away from their call and how they back slid but this young man never back slid and he never ran away from his call and I often say it takes more of the anointing to keep you saved than it does to recover you from backsliding this is the true testimony that God can do it he's a creative genius his innovative he's anointed like Bezalel was anointed he's a prophet he prophesized with such accuracy he's an intercessor he's an apostle he's a teacher he walks in the fivefold ministry gifts he's an awesome father to my grandchildren when we travel together I said this is my son and they're looking at him and looking at me I said don't worry about it he looks just like his father he didn't take anything from me and they go he's an awesome husband too wonderful woman of God Victoria together they are parenting the next generation of leaders I love him there's not enough alkaloids not enough words in the English language to say how much love I have for him but even if I didn't know him I would honor and respect him because he's a true man of God when you hear him you hear me and if you close your eyes and if you just turn up the reverb you would swear it was me behind the mic he's gonna come with a word of the Lord in his mouth he's gonna bless us he's the Millennials we've been talking about we're not waiting until he gets 50 he's leading right now and I'm so proud of him I tell everyone he's my boss for real because he's the executive director of Cindy trim ministry long before he turned 30 and it's just my honor it's a privilege to be able to serve with you to see the wonderful gift being developed right in front of me so ladies and gentlemen when he comes when he moms this podium I want you to stand and I want you to celebrate the Lord with me pastor Ryan Cole god bless you please welcome acclaimed author and speaker anointed teacher and worship leader and an emerging voice of leadership and empowerment pastor Ryan Cole I'm so privileged and honored to stand on this platform today under the anointing that has preceded me in the person's of pastor bill Winston apostle les Bishop Tomlinson and of course dr. Cindy trim I'm honored because they they gave me a seat at the table and said your voice matters and that doesn't always happen and when I tell you each and every one of those men and women of God there's a real deal they're the real deal I've been in a lot of green rooms around the world but they are the real men and women of God who walk what they preach who live what they preach and I'm so honored I wanted to tell dr. trim earlier because I know she was stepping out she'll be coming back in just a few minutes but I love her so much my life changed the moment when I heard her voice because it awakened something on the inside of me that was laying dormant something that was stirring and at a young age that I didn't have the articulation to describe but I walked into a room and it was her voice that called it to life and for that I owe her everything I will be forever indebted to this ministry and to the call of God upon my life because of her thank you mom thank you Dad for believing in me even though I was the odd one out always I didn't fit into any mold or any system and you didn't try to push me into any place that you wanted me to be or wanted me to go you allowed God to lead me and you believed in me and I thank you so much I love you with all my heart God knew exactly what I needed when he placed the calling on my life and I searched high and low prayed and believed like most single people do and God had to pull out of the country of Ukraine a woman a woman who could carry with me the burden of God who has sacrificed everything for me who's given me two beautiful children you know I heard an old man say one time that marriage is a journey of falling in and out of love over and over and over and it's those waves of intimacy that really allow a relationship to thrive for the long haul my grandparents were married 67 years before my grandmother went to be with the Lord last year and that's what I said that was what I looked to and I said God I want a woman who's gonna be with me for the long haul when it's tough when it's rough all of the pretty parts people don't see all of the process that goes on behind the scenes and she gets to see the real me and she still believes in me even when I'm not at my best and even when I'm not giving my all at home in our seasons what I can but what I'm low you lift me up and I pray that I do this thing for you and I love you so much this is Victoria my wife I believe what has been taking place over this last several days is a paradigm shift that is coming to the body of Christ it's not just an individual change of belief but the entire body is shifting at the same time the church operates in cycles and so what we're seeing is that we're coming upon a new cycle the end of the megachurch as we know it has ended and I'm not saying that to say that we won't gather together in large numbers as we are today but the structure that held together that system has now collapsed we're in the year 5770 9/5 is the number of grace seven is the number of completion twice nine is the number of birthing God spoke to me as as we moved into this Jewish New Year that he was completing the end of one cycle and he was completing the forming of the new a new wineskin for the body of Christ I love this conversation that we had about Millennials because muscies us to think about why we're doing the things that we're doing are you hearing me in here today and so I have a message that I believe is not only for you as an individual but for us as a body of Christ I believe that God is elevating you into a new realm of influence and power he is increasing your capacity for more and this is what the Lord spoke to me as I was under an open heaven I want my people to know that I am with them and that I am bringing a great acceleration to the church there is a great turning of the hearts here now and I implore you to make the necessary preparation for the influx of believers that will be ushered into the house of God it's you who are going to have to build the structure for the new because God told us in Isaiah 54 to enlarge the place of our tents and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations spare not lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes God is calling us to rebuild he's calling us to build on the new additions to the way that we've done things he's he's calling calling us away from old systems old structures and into the new I'm not talking about just the church building but I'm talking about you as an individual industry is rapidly shifting and God is calling you as a trailblazer to lead change but in order to go beyond the limits you have to learn to think beyond the limits and so I want to weave a couple of stories together today I want them to throw up on the screen my little girl my little boy I talked about earlier this is Tobias and Neila they have my heart sweet they keep us on our toes though we were happy to let them be with auntie and uncle this weekend even though this is a lot of work I'm telling you parenting is a lot more work than even running an entire conference like this any parents can say Amen right they've taught us how to operate on a little bit of sleep but my wife's holding down the fort she's an amazing mother to our children yes I'm preaching for them today my children because it's them who I'm thinking about when I think about where the church is going I want to leave two stories together I want to weave the story of jay-bez together with the story Abraham I want to start in first chronicles chapter 4 verse 1 the part that everybody else skips the family of Judah 1st chronicles 4:1 the sons of Judah were Perez hezron karma her show Baal and Ray I the son of show Baal begat J hath and J hath begat AAHA my and lay ad these were the families of the zora thights these were the sons of the father of Edom Jezreel s and y'all know I'm speaking in tongues right reading all of these this is the way most of us feel looking at the book of numbers am i right and it goes on and on and on this is the family of Judah let me ask you have you ever heard any of these names before in your life hmm for most of us unless your book favorite book of the Bible is numbers you never heard of any one of these they were a part of the lineage of Judah which was a part of the lineage of David which was a part of the lineage of Jesus but that this was the clutter of the common this chronicle of names continues on for several scriptures here until out of nowhere out of the monotony of this passage of text we experience a profound pause a significant choice by the author of this book to shine a spotlight on a significant individual all it took was two scriptures two verses to solidify this individual in the biblical Hall of faith and this is the famous passage that everyone reads verse 9 and 10 now jay-bez was more honorable than his brothers and his mother called his name jay-bez saying because i bore him in pain and jay-bez called on the God of Israel saying oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that you would keep me from evil that I might not cause pain so God granted him what he requested this man jay-bez could have been listed among the catalogue of the ordinary like scripture details but he refused to be labeled by his story and his experiences up to that point am i speaking to anybody in the room today God lifted him from the mess of the masses and placed him into a new realm of influence and prominence this is what God is doing for you this weekend his story takes up just two verses in the Bible but it's one of the most famous of all time books after books pages of literature have been written about this one individual because people were fascinated and how he arose from the midst of this seemingly ordinary passage of Scripture God chose to stop in the midst of listing those that were a part of the lineage of the tribe of Judah to highlight him scholars even say they don't even know if he was a part of the lineage of Judah he may have been he may not have been but there was something significant about him that caught God's attention that it had to be written down for eternity to hear about these two scriptures solidified this man's legacy throughout history just the mention of his name changed the course of history to where we see about a city being named jay-bez what a city being named you caused me pain how many of you would like to live in that city hmm I'm gonna bring it home trust me but your spiritual ears on God has brought you here to injure you're strong to pull you out of the normal narrative of life the normal state of affairs surrounding your life is getting ready to expand to make wave make way for the break in the storyline where people counted you out God had already counted you in and he's gonna cause your name to be listed among those in the Hall of Fame those who entire books were written about but it will only take a few sentences to leave your mark on history the author and the finisher of our faith is commanding us to lay aside every way every sin and run the race that is set before us with full endurance it's time for us to pick up the baton for far too long we have set on the sidelines but we are decreeing and declaring while others are sitting around watching history being made you will arise as the next generation of history makers you've always known you were different from those around you you have that inclination on the inside of you that there's got to be more than this you wake up every morning with this gnawing feeling and you say I can't go on living this way if this is all that life has got for me what you're feeling is our calling to the message that Jesus was obsessed about it's the message of the kingdom that gives you hope purpose relevance a reason for being and answers that question why why you were created why you were planted and this time in history like David you are moving from the field in the season to the palace Mike Joseph God is moving you from the prison to the seat of legal authority he is taking you from the mundane and into the exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or thing this year your life will have more density than the years prior people will recognize the place of authority and influence that you are being birthed into so we see this man jay-bez who the Bible said was a product of his mother's pain and so she labeled him from that one experience the name literally translates sorrow or to cause pain and sorrow we don't know much about his delivery or his childhood but we do know that his mother experienced a significant amount of pain surrounding his conception and his delivery maybe it was a father that ran out on her maybe he was a product of a rape maybe she had a medical issues and never thought she was gonna get pregnant and her body couldn't handle the weight of the pressure of the labor and delivery we don't know but it was significant enough for her to label him sorrow and pain the word name in Hebrew means reputation fame or glory names were very significant in Jewish culture because it pointed to the future of an individual to the destiny of an individual however jay-bez refused to be limited by his parents idea of what he would become so he called on the God of Israel and I want you to hear me we have all of these names for God Jehovah Jireh Jehovah Rosh Rafa Elohim Adonai but the specific name of God that he called out was Elohim because it means God is my ruler and my judge he didn't just call any name of God he called on the God who was his judge and his ruler the one who has the final say about you the one who is in the business of changing names and bringing a course correction to the lives of those who seek Him jay-bez said I know that I've already been pronounced as one thing but God I know that you can transform Jacob into Israel then you can bring something great out of my life I've seen you done it before and I know that you can do it for me too God always has the final say it doesn't matter what they said about you it doesn't matter what they labeled you as it doesn't matter that they called you according to your experience or your mistakes or the decisions that you made in the past God is causing a redeeming to come to your reputation in 2019 jay-bez had a label you mind if I teach for a few minutes we're gonna get happy here in a minute but I want to give you some substance a label is a designation based on what he went through or the circumstances regarding his birth we don't know what happened to his mother but she labeled him a label says listen to me you can only go here or there you belong in this category because of those experiences that were thrust upon you experiences that you can't help that you were a part of the fact that you were born black white Latino Filipino Chinese Arab Muslim Jew whatever you call yourself it's the registration that society gives you to be able to clash you into a certain category or be able to draw certain lines of restriction around you to tell you this is how far you can go this is the rooms you can have entrance into this is the areas that you're restricted from this is a label now a label as it becomes culturally universal becomes a stigma a stigma means to brand condemn pigeonhole stereotype typecast you belong to me you don't belong to me you can't be with us you can be with us you can sit here and not there the word stigma I find this interesting if you look it up it means to fill in the gaps that means I don't have enough time to get to know who you really are behind the color of your skin or behind the clothes that you're wearing and so I'm just gonna allow my mind to fill in the gaps as to what you are and who you are and what society has relegated you to jay-bez didn't just have a label he had a stigma a stigma becomes a cultural stronghold that brings a designation not just to one person but entire lineages of people the reason God broke into the chronicling of a family is because he needed to break a cycle in this moment God course-corrected not just the life of jay-bez but an entire lineage of people I've come to announce to you today that God wants to bring an entire course correction to your family and he wants to do it through you if you were to trace your experience it down through your family if you begin to research the pathology you will discover that poverty is generational sexual sexual abuse is generational addiction and substance abuse is generational not only is it generation but list generational listen it's a cultural stronghold as well but God is gonna break the cycle with you today I wish I had some people with just a little bit of faith that you're tired of seeing your nieces and nephew struggle that you're tired of seeing your sons and daughters addicted to drugs you see just like jay-bez a label if not careful can produce a stigma because it becomes universally accepted a label is when a designation has been given to you and you believe it a stigma is when your personal belief becomes a universal idea to the world around you the transition becomes comes the moment you begin to consider whether what you are labeled as could possibly true be true that consideration gives way to belief and the belief gives way to a paradigm an entire belief system a belief system which is the lens that you view life through and God can never take you beyond the limits of your life without first challenging the borders and boundaries of your mind a stigma is proliferated through a paradigm and a belief system and it's sustained through a prevailing culture is this too deep for you all drive any deep thinkers in the room where a label is a one-to-one designation a stigma is a common knowledge designation and let's add another label once this designation is then passed down to another generation then it becomes a generational curse the body of Christ has come to a turning point a label is the building blocks for creating a paradigm it's a confession that once applied and repeated becomes a mindset when you begin to believe what has been spoken over you it creates a pattern of thought that controls your behavior in certain environments from there you begin to build defense mechanism mechanisms to even protect that paradigm we've even created cultural appropriations around these certain paradigms and staked ownership and cultural ideas that were rooted in the kingdom of darkness we begin to build defense mechanisms to protect the internal framework that has been placed there by the enemy leaving us tortured and unable to move beyond certain boundaries so no matter what you do you never feel like you're able to reach a certain level in life it feels like you're walking through mud as much energy you as you put into a situation as much money as you put in a situation as much relationships as you try to garner it never seems like you can quite get there because you have a stigma attached to you it's invisible you can't see it with the natural eye but it's an internal perception that has been placed there long before you were even born it doesn't matter how many handbags you have how many degrees you get how many followers you have on social media it feels like that there is an invisible barrier that will not allow you to progress into a place of fulfillment and significance that's why a millionaire can take a gun in a back room and shoot himself you're not poor because you don't have access to money you're poor because you haven't fully embraced a paradigm for Prosperity that goes beyond a dollar bill I want to talk to you a lot of people use this word paradigm but they don't explain it what is a paradigm I could describe it as a mindset but it's far more deeply rooted it's not just the way that you think about life it has to do with your very nature what flows out of you subconsciously what you're not thinking about in the second compartment of your mind which is your heart a paradigm is the restrictive box in which you view the world it's the context in which you filter all the information the experiences it's the foundation on which you build a vision for your future if your context is wrong your conclusion will be wrong how many of you heard dr. trends say that let me explain it like this we all experience life through the boundaries of our mind through our five physical senses when you stepped into this room today you begin to filter out all of the information that was coming your way you begin to feel begin to see some of you what to lunch you tasted you can smell maybe your neighbor didn't put on deodorant before they walked into this last session and all of your senses are beginning to to be activated in this moment and then it's filtered through the three senses of your soul your mind your will and your emotions and then you begin to make decisions and determinations about the service about your experience or or about your life in general your eye your physical eyes the lens the pupil and the cornea don't tell you what you see your brain and your mindset interprets and really tells you what you're seeing that means that I could be looking at the same exact thing as you and perceiving it differently if I walked up in this room today and told you that this was a black shirt you would think I was crazy but if I had been educated to believe that this was black instead of white are you hearing me then we're looking at the same thing physically but interpreting it different I'm talking about a paradigm a belief system a worldview it's your brain that really tells you what you see we contextualize every experience what we taste what we feel what we touch what we hear and then our paradigm tells us what to accept as truth and not and so when information is thrown at us we have about 30 seconds to determine whether or not we're going to receive it as truth or reject it as a lie your paradigm is the blockage point from from real truth getting to your spirit it's in those moments those 30-second moments that that you have to become physical about accepting a belief that's why praise is so important and when you hear a revelation that you list out a shout because you you're making a physical demonstration breaking the barrier of your common paradigm to give way to a new way of thinking I want to break this down a little bit more because I believe God is calling us to go beyond the limits and you have to think beyond and see beyond before you can go beyond jay-bez knew this and that's why he was so adamant about calling to Elohim not just any title of God the one who is his real judge and ruler he knew that God and the blessing that comes by calling on the name of God could destroy every label every stigma and every generational curse Abram who later became Abraham knew this all too well we see in Genesis chapter 12 that God came to Abraham to establish a covenant now the Lord had said to Abram get out of your country from your family and from your father's house to a land that I will show you I will make you a great nation I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed there was three promises that were made to Abraham that I'm gonna have a personal relationship with you God says you're gonna have numerous descendants and I'm gonna give you land are you hearing me prophetically today I'm gonna have a deep and intimate relationship with you you're gonna have numerous descendants and I'm gonna give you land the problem is that this covenant with God could not be enforced unless Abraham at the command of God left his country left his brethren and left his house why because where he was living who he was hanging around and the traditions that were given to him at childhood could not contain the greatness that was in store for him so God had to call him out from among the clutter of the common he had to call him out from the messes of the masses to put him into a place of isolation some of you have experienced isolation in 2018 people left who you never thought would leave you your finances dip down when you thought you were in a good place you felt at times loneliness creeping in and the enemy tapping on your shoulder saying you're depressed let's go get medicated but what you didn't know that is that it's God pulling you away to launch you out every arrow before it accelerates it's pulled back the Bible says we are like arrows in the hands of our Father and you may have felt a setback in 2018 but it was only God revving the engines to move you into the greatest season of acceleration that you have ever experienced before in order for God to even begin to introduce you to beyond listen this was chapter 12 God didn't give Abraham the vision of the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore till chapter 16 and 17 chapters and chapters in fact it was about 20 years before God gave him the visions of the sky is when God called him out and it took approximately 20 years or 26 years for for God to extract out of him the culture in which he was born why because Abraham was going to be the start of a new culture a new lineage of people yet every time when trouble comes we jump back into the corner of chunks of comfortable you know the racial tensions in the United States of America right now when the heat is ah why do we always run to our corners this is the moment when the church should shine the brightest because we know that we have been born again into the kingdom and we don't pledge allegiance to where we come from yes we might attend the family reunions yes we might go to the holiday gatherings but I'm a citizen of the kingdom of heaven and it doesn't matter if you're black white brown Asian we are brothers and sisters in Christ God wants to break the stigmas that have been attached to our individual cultures and unify us so we can truly be an expression of the kingdom the type of expression that he has intended in order for God to even begin to introduce you to beyond he has to pull you into a place of isolation not that you're ever alone because he said I'll never leave you nor forsake you but you're hidden as you're lifted from among the masses so that God can perform a system reset this means that God is going to pull you away from certain people are you listening 2019 you can't hang around the same people he's gonna pull you out of certain places certain cultural influences of the day it's gonna turn up the pressure some of you have felt the pressure the opposition on your life what the enemy meant for evil God is turning around for good in fact he set it up so that you can be repositioned to walk in a level of power and authority that this world has never seen before he's been preparing you for a paradigm shift I want to bring this even further down so that you can understand this on a practical level when I was a kid it was one of our traditions of our family that every holiday gathering we would we would play cards we would bring out the games and we would sit around the dining room tables and we would get so competitive that our family went to the trophy store and had a trophy made so whoever the family member was that that when that that that series of games on that holiday got to gloat about it for an entire year until we got back together pastor Stephen and Laurie's been over to my house during and they'll tell you the truth and we'll sit it up on the mantel with pride because we're competitive like that but as I begin to think about that you know I thought about how all of us are dealt a hand of cards in life and so to help you understand how a paradigm is formed I've decided to use a deck of cards this is the injure you're strong playing deck right here each of the following suits that I'm about to show you represent things that shape your paradigm and this is really gonna help you these are the things that have to be confronted this year in order for you to be fully transformed in the perception your view of the world so that you can fully embrace the purpose of God and begin to shift culture you see everyone is dealt a hand of cards in life if you've ever played poker now I'm not putting my stamp of approval on gambling but we play poker with with M&Ms sometimes if you've ever played poker or any game really you understand the importance of a poker face right and how important it is in keeping your cards close to your chest so that you might have the greatest advantage even with the worst of hands you might be able to fool somebody into believing that you really have more than you do right it's called a confidence play my poker face is on right so I keep my cards close to my chest this is this is about the best strategy that anybody has if you've been dealt a bad hand of cards in life and there's been self-help book after self-help book that has been written with this principle just saying it in a different way that you can make the best out of what's been given to you and you know sometimes your playing cards and especially in poker you you you turn over the cards and fold when you feel like that you're not able to compete anymore with those around you even though you don't even know the cards that they have in their hands you don't have the courage enough to continue playing and so many of us get to the end of our lives and and and it's sad to say that we'll be able to look around when we get to heaven and see people with the worst hand of cards than us that have won in life and yet we chose to throw in the in the tower it's a good strategy it's the self-help strategy but it's not the best strategy it shouts real good right it feels good and there's truth in it 100% we've all been fed this information in this self-help age it's our goal to make the most of what we've been dealt that that's what every book tells us that that this is this is how you make the most of what you've been given we're taught that what sabotages our success is trying to figure out the cards of other people the cards that they're holding in their hands looking to them comparing with them what they have in their hands to my hands and folding before we even know what the play is but where self-help teachers in that's where God begins this is the best strategy they have but God has a better strategy let's look at the cards here first in our deck is the spades I always wondered what that little symbol meant it's actually like a little gardening shovel right a spade is a picture of a little shovel this represents the geographic location of where you were born and what part of the world you are currently planted in this refers to your city your neighborhood whether you were born into money born into poverty whether you were born in a free country a democratic nation or whether you were born in the under communist rule it represents your city your state your country the geographic location that number one you were born and the geographic location that you are currently planted in it shapes the you see the world second we have clubs this one's pretty easy to define as he brings that up clubs represent those people that are closest to you right it represents as you were growing up before you reached adulthood the relationships that you were thrust into the parents that you were given the siblings that you were given the friends that you had to go to school with and then as you grew older you begin to make decisions about the people that would be around you and so both those experiences in your childhood and in adulthood the decisions that you've made to bring people into your inner circle it affects the way that you view life doctor trim said yesterday in five years you can know where you'll be if you look to the five closest people to you because who you hang around affects the way that you think who you give your ear to affects your future next we have hearts and I'm sure they're working on that hearts represents your culture this includes your ethnicity your family traditions your religious foundations and your overall upbringing this includes your spiritual experiences and also your natural talents and passions just think about it as the things you love to do the things that have shaped your personality your dreams your your innermost desires some of these desires have been contorted by the enemy the enemy planted a seed of desire in you even while you were young and now you're this adult and you're dealing with this passion that you don't know what to do with and it shapes the way that you view the world this is what shapes your paradigm then finally we have diamonds now I want us to think about how a diamond is formed that it's shaped from a piece of coal through the pressure of external forces until it's fully refined diamonds represents your experiences both good and bad the trauma that happened to you your mother that died when you were 12 years old the the husband that left you with three children to take care of it all shapes the way that you view life I'm going somewhere with this can you hear me today this right here is a picture of the crumbing hand that was given to jay-bez right there ask me how you're gonna play with something like that we don't even know where he was born we don't even know if he was a part of the family because his parents aren't even mentioned we have no idea what what his mother went through to call him sorrow we see all of these names that mean nothing to nobody in history and there you've got jay-bez his name you've got all all of these experiences all of these elements that forms the way that he thought let's go back to verse 9 first chronicles 4 9 to 10 now jay-bez was more honorable than his brothers and his mother called his name jay-bez saying I bore him in pain remember this is the label the context that you had to deal with from childhood and jay-bez called on the God of Israel Elohim saying oh that you had blessed me or make me significant enlarge my territory and trust me with more and that your hand would be with me that you would keep me from evil that I might not cause pain so God granted him what he requested he refused to be limited by the cards that were dealt to him at conception he refused to be confined to his current state of thinking he chose to live beyond the limits to think beyond the limits to cry out to God for more because he believed in God's integrity as a creator he said oh that your hand be with me his presence and power that comes upon people to elevate him that's God's hand God's presence and power that comes upon a people to elevate them his presence and power that comes upon a people to elevate them he said o that your hand be with me that word hand is the same as name it means reputation and glory every time you see that word in the Bible it's where it says for his name's sake that means God I need you to put your name on the line for me and though I've been dealt a crummy hand of cards Lord I'm asking that your hand be with me I can play a Royal Flush if you just place your blessing upon me I might have been born in the ghetto I might have been born with it a winner without any um financial backing I wasn't born with a spoon in my mouth but when I get born again into the kingdom I get a paradigm of a person who has got everything that they need to succeed I'm born into a new country oh [Music] that your hand be with me God I might have had people betray me what about the clubs we had a crummy hand ourselves but but when God stepped into our life he begins to remove the wrong people and make space for the right people to come under green and declaring in 2019 the wrong people are leaving and the right people are coming oh then your hand be with me you can play with the Royal Flush are you hearing me you don't have to be relegated to what the world calls you what you win through the people that are around you right now you can say goodbye you can throw yourself a going-away party tomorrow if you choose because that person that negative influence the person holding you into that place of thinking it's taking up space for the right person you've got to get boldness in this season to say goodbye to all the people holding you into an old cultural way of thinking I'm telling you I don't know what happened to you when you were young I don't know what has twisted your passions you grew up gifted and talented but maybe you didn't have the financial means to be able to cultivate that gift maybe you were hurt maybe you were molested and abused and now you have all of these perversions these thoughts these lusts going on inside of your heart these passions that lead you down a Lost Road but I'm telling you you can have a royal flush when it comes to your passions - God could give you a pure heart it could change the way that you see the world for my namesake oh that your name would be with me oh that your reputation would be on the line and not mine jay-bez cried oh that you would bless me indeed that word there means bless me bless me he said I'm not just warning on a 1-dimensional blessing god I need a double portion of your anointing because I need a blessing that's not just for me and they're hearing now but I need a blessing that's gonna affect generations to come generate my children are gonna be blessed my children are not gonna have to worry about the things that I worried about because I'm gonna raise him up with a kingdom paradigm it was the blessing of the Lord thank you that destroyed the stigma it was the blessing of the Lord that lifted the label off of jay-bez this is the mighty hand of God's grace at work he gives us what we need to overcome the present stage and to step fully into what he had originally intended for us I'm telling you the blessing of the Lord is coming upon you after this weekend God is upgrading your thoughts when you leave out of here he is going to initiate a paradigm shift he is going to empower you to think on the level of your anointing to think on the level of your greatness he's gonna surround you with people who have the prosody for you who understand who you truly are who aren't confused about where you came from what you represent but your brand is being elevated in 2019 [Music] [Applause] today he's breaking cycles of death and poverty off of your life and he's initiating new cycles new cycles of faith new cycles of prosperity you're gonna be able to see your dreams resurrected that which you thought you were going to be we stopped dreaming after a certain age when we're kids we all think we can be the President of the United States but somewhere along the way whether it's the people we hang around whether it's the neighborhood we grew up in whether it's the bad experiences the trauma of childhood it tells us that we can only do this or that but I'm telling you God's restoring a childlike faith he says when you come to me you gotta come as a child you can't be carrying all the baggage of your old thinking with you into this relationship because what I have to show you it's far beyond your wildest imaginations and you can't be you can't view that through the context of what you've been through Abram come out of your people Abram come out of your country Abram come out of the traditions of the household that you were raised in they might have even been good traditions but they they're unable to facilitate where God is taking you in the next season sometimes you gotta let go of good to receive great no longer will you be controlled by the opinions of those around you but you will be driven only by the voice of God you don't have to look to the left and the right to find comparison that's what people do if they're trying to achieve just success [Music] success is good we build goals and dreams but success is always measured against a societal norm so you aren't successful if you've done more than X Y & Z if you've done more than so and so if you've sold more records if you've sold more real estate if you've won this many cases in in the courtroom but it sets it up against a standard and even those who have experienced success never experience what God truly wants them to have which is significant success is what you've done here and now but your successes of yesterday happens yesterday and tomorrow somebody's gonna beat your record they're gonna run faster they're gonna work harder they're gonna achieve greater they're gonna reset the standards and you're gonna fall back in life if you live by what society deems is successful then they'll just redefine the rules and lock you out to stay what - because they don't like the way you look or they don't like the way you sound but if you say God make me significant then you're talking generationally you're talking about a legacy that you're gonna leave to your children's children's children this is what jay-bez was saved playing short double portion blessing upon me not so that I would have great success but I would have significance I want my name to be spoken about for hundreds and hundreds of years to come I want them to say because of this man's prayer life that an entire generation was turned back to God I want somebody to say because of this man influence in the world of authoring that his book is still being sold hundreds and hundreds of years later that significance how are you thinking generationally if the enemy is thinking generationally why aren't we the greatest deception of the enemy is to get you satisfied with the current standards of success that you're okay with the applause of man so much so that you lose factor that God's applause is all that matters that God's validation is all that matters you are loved don't I tell you today you are cherished you are significant you are anointed you are an important part of the unfolding of the plans of God we're talking about a paradigm shift here this is why Jesus came preaching repent for the kingdom of God is at hand in order to access the favor of God in order to access the resources of God you have to be able to step away from what you've known all of your life and say God if I have to walk out on the water I'll do whatever it takes so that I can it's the new I don't want a repeat of last year's move of God I don't want to repeat of Azusa Street I don't want a repeat of the European revivals I want a revival for my generation that sets its own pace that sets its own tone the kingdom is not a religious idea it's a culture it's a mindset it's a way of life you no longer have just play the game of life with the hand of cards that you've been dealt I've come here today with an assignment to break every stigma every label that has been placed upon your life by the blood of Jesus Christ I've come to pronounce the blessing of the Lord upon you not just a blessing but a double portion blessing uh-oh that your hand would be with me Oh God this is the power of a blessing at work can we talk about what a blessing really is because it sounds real nice just to say I'm blessed in highly favored I'm not just talking about Christianese whenever God releases a blessing he releases the greatness that is within himself to produce within another whenever God wants to introduce a new culture he initiates it and he provokes it with a blessing you know a shift is coming to a culture when the hand of God the hand of God's blessing and favor begins to weigh heavily a among a group of people this is his plan of expansion throughout history we see that the glory and the greatness of every King is measured by his ability to expand his authority and his influence into another territory this is a kingdom idea he's the king of kings he didn't just create the Earth's for anything he had built within the framework of who he is as God to continue to expand his glory and his power throughout all of the universe and he said how can I do it at a more rapid pace and so he said I'm gonna create man and I'm gonna breathe a little bit of myself into him and he's gonna be my representative to expand my glory to expand my authority this is a kingdom principle you can't measure the greatness of God he's always expanding in fact over the course of this sermon God has grown by leaps and bounds his greatness has already increased what you thought you knew about God has already expired 10 minutes ago yet we try to keep God in this box but if you're gonna go beyond the limits you have to begin to see God continuing to expand continuing to create to continuing to innovate the greatness of God cannot be measured this is because he's ever increasing in power and strength and influencing and glory it is in the very nature of God to expand because he is the author and the originator of potential every time we think we put a measurement on God something new is revealed that breaks the limitations that we have placed upon him he's reproductive in nature he's creative in nature he never stops producing her it was God who said in the book of Genesis be fruitful and multiply Genesis 1:28 he blessed them and then he said expand that means when you connect to the blessing of God you are literally connecting yourself to the limitless power the limitless provision that is reserved in heaven you're able to be a conduit in which heaven is released into the earth the result or the effect that we get from the blessing of God is the ability to expand not retreat the blessing of God is attached to expansion what God bless he expands I know I've said it multiple ways I want you to get this today in fact the evidence of the blessing of God is in the fruit that you bear arguing exerting love joy peace kindness goodness it says the kindness of God leads people to repentance we want people in the world to begin to change the way that they think we're gonna have to love them into that place of change he's breaking the borders in the boundaries of your mind so that you can see what you've never seen before he said to Abraham I will make you a great nation I will bless you and give you a great name blessing I will bless you multiplying I will multiply you as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore jay-bez prays enlarge my territory God God is telling you today to get rid of your measuring stick that's how much he wants to bless you get rid of your measuring stick to the point he wants to bless you to the point where it can't even be quantified what God blesses he expands whatever he blesses he increases its capacity to produce a blessing is always attached to fruitfulness we see it established here with Adam we see it established with Abram we see it established with jay-bez what was God saying in these first landmark moments in the Bible I believe that he was giving us an insight for his purpose for all of creation that our purpose here is to be extent an extension of his power and his glory even science is now providing supporting evidence for this truth since the early 1900's a scientists have been fascinated with the universe looking beyond to the stars of the sky wondering how far out it goes and up until recently they have only been able to see with limited instruments of sophistication but but over the last several years there's been scientific journals published that have begin to reflect on the measurement of the universe they've created sophisticated instruments to measure not only how large the universe is continually but how large it was in Jena nation's past and what they have determined was that thousands and thousands of years ago there was a spark that occurred in the the void the blackness they call it the Big Bang Theory and that at that point the universe expanded at an enormous rate of acceleration then they said something happened that now they're saying at a midway point through this rapid acceleration that the acceleration process slowed it waned the universe still kept growing but it decreased in its speed in its velocity but then they said for some reason about 2000 years ago this is scientists talking something sparked the acceleration of the universe once again and now every single year that passes scientists are saying the there is an increase every single year as to how fast the universe is expanding what this tells me is that God spoken to the void and said let there be light he established his kingdom dominance into the void and the nothingness and creation was formed and the universe expanded it and at a rapid rate and then all of a sudden because of sin the acceleration slowed down but two thousand years ago a man named Jesus Christ came to the earth died on the cross resurrected from the dead got up out of the grave with the keys of death hell and he said to us behold I give you power what you lost in the Garden of Eden has now been restored and you are a part of a rapidly expanding universe the greatness of God that's only measured by citizeness strategic cigars what's the word I'm looking for it can only be measured by sophisticated technological instruments that use light as the measuring tool which tells me that the only way that we can begin to understand the greatness of God the only way that we can measure God is by God Himself creation is fulfilling God's designed to expand his glory and his kingdom God even revealed this by putting the principle the reproductive ability within a man and within a woman and I believe that one of the reasons that it was not good that man be alone was because God had always designed him to reproduce how are you reproducing in your lifetime who's coming up after you do you have a plan of Accession not just for a ministry but for your business will your business live on beyond you will your ministry live on beyond you are you searching for success or do you really want significance success can be redefined by societal norms but significance is determined by God and the blessing that came upon jay-bez was that to empower him to expand what you bless you commands to multiply when you declare your finances blessed you literally activate the potential for more you are commanding expansion to come to your finances whatever you bless then is enabled to produce fruit the angel told Mary you're blessed above all women and is the moment that the word blessing came out of her mouth whoop she conceived right then said the Spirit of God hovered over her that word blessing is unique it's a word in the Greek eulogia it's the word that we have adopted in our modern English which then when people die we stand up and pronounce their eulogy the blessing of God is a prophetic foretelling of things to come it's an activation of what's already been pronounced over you by God the blessing of God destroys every stigma destroys every label the blessing of God empowers you to rise again and take your seat of authority and Dominion as God had always designed it from the Garden of Eden when God blesses you it's not just for you it's for your entire family it's for your entire community it's for your entire nation what you bless you empower God's plan of expansion is found in the tool of empowerment which is the message of the kingdom the message of the kingdom that Jesus preached is full of empowering you blessed those around them by empowering them to fulfill their purpose in Christ when the disciples had five loaves and two fish to feed a multitude of people Jesus lifted up he didn't play pray any complicated prayer he said father I bless it and it multiplies what you bless you multiply Jesus made a powerful statement in mark chapter 11 when he walked up to the fig tree and perched it and the fig tree never produced again that lets me know that the opposite of a blessing is cursing and cursing causes a Berenice but a blessing of the Lord that activates the womb of your spirit empowers you to to believe form or to believe for for for a greater level of influence in your business in your home and your family in your community Mary the mother of Jesus was declared to be blessed among women I believe that one of the reasons why she had to be blessed is because the angel of the Lord already knew that the moment she walked out of that house as an unmarried woman that society would attach what they did to Jamis a stigma to her what she's not married and she's pregnant so before you hear the chatter of everybody else I'm just going to go ahead and pronounce to you what its gonna end up as because even unto this day you have people around the world who honor and revere that woman as she is blessed among women Mary I know it's gonna be said of you pregnant before married I know what kind of labels are gonna be thrown at you so let me pronounce the benediction now before you even get started I'm telling you God is breaking stigmas off of your life today off of your name off of your family as kings we push back the forces of darkness and reverse every curse of the enemy when we carry the blessing that is on us into new areas as a blessing of God is not just something that you pronounce it's something that you carry it's something that you wear like a garment wherever you go you carry the blessing of the Lord with you you carry the environment of the culture of the kingdom of heaven with you when you declare your city blessed you are calling forth every engineer every entrepreneur every men of God every woman of God every apostle every prophet you're calling forth educators you're calling for government leaders you are calling them forth to produce what God has placed on the inside of them if you're in this room and you've been fighting to overcome cycles of bondage in your life you feel like you've been labeled by society I want to come to you today right here I want you to come down today and we're gonna break the stigmas off of your life we're gonna break this stigma off of your life if you feel like you've been pigeon holed if you feel like that you haven't been able to succeed or or to to advance as hard as you've been trying you just felt like something was blocking you out you felt like you were relegated in society I want you to come we're gonna break that stigma off of your life would you stand to your jay-bez is interesting because God didn't change his name he changed the meaning of his name [Music] God just didn't say I'm taking you from Jacob to Israel he said no we're gonna keep your name jay-bez and we're just gonna redefine it in society's mind I was interested in learning over history there are several words that have been re-engineered over time so the word smart we now view as intelligent right but the word smart actually was a negative word that describes someone's temperament who was sharp and that caused pain somebody that we call smart today in the 1800's if you called someone smart you were you were telling them you're annoying the heck out of me but somehow over time that word was redefined that's what God did with jay-bez he said they may say that you're one that causes sorrow now but I'm gonna change the meaning of the word so much so that they are going to name a city after you [Music] God is redefining the borders in the boundaries of your life the name jay-bez means sorrow but it has a little attachment to it in the Hebrew it means sorrow but it also means the worship of an idol in other words the name jay-bez means I've traded real worship for pain and really this was his mom she was so obsessed with the the trauma that she had endured that she lost hope but she lost sight of God that she lost faith in anything and everyone so much so that she named her own baby pain and sorrow for some of you your pain has become an idol you've been hurt for so long by so many people you've had so many labels attached to you you've been locked out of so many rooms [Music] you begin to harbor this pain inside of you thinking will I ever get my opportunity to shine I know that there's more for me God but it seems I never get the rays that I'm looking for I never get the promotion that I'm looking for I never get the opportunity I just it just seems like I can't ever meet the right people talking about those cards but you don't have to operate with the hand that was dealt to you God is trading places with you he's saying take my hands oh that your hand be with me God oh that your hand means pain has become like an obsession but God is restoring your worship this weekend he's breaking naina from yesterday off of you he's restoring your worship I wish I had some people here in the audience who would begin to worship on their behalf would you begin to cry out to God on their behalf down here maybe in this moment they don't have the strength in them at this point in time but I believe we can surround them with faith and in this moment as I declared the blessing of the Lord the reproach is going to be lifted the label destroyed I'm speaking to the person who is found comfort in your pain you ever speak to a person who's suicidal who cuts themselves they find comfort in the pain some of you have found comfort in the pain maybe you haven't harmed yourself physically but maybe you said I'm at my wit's end god I don't know if I had the guts to do attention to pull out a gun but I might take a stack of pills how many of you ever felt like getting in the car and just driving and driving and driving lost because you felt like you had no opportunity for advancement that you were being locked out for some reason or another there was a stigma that the enemy placed on you but I'm telling you today that stigma is being destroyed [Music] as we talked about Abram today and suraíh Abram who became Abraham sera who became Sarah she was a doubter she couldn't believe that her as a 90 something year old woman could ever conceive anything from God she'd been she put her hope out there too many times I'm just not even gonna put my hope out there anymore because it's too devastating when it doesn't happen God after I've been bearing all these years now you want to come to me when I'm this old and say that you've got something in store for me she lost at God and that laugh was the same word that sorrow was the word jay-bez means I've made an idol of worship out of my pain it's where Sarai was and God came to Abram and he said I know she's doubting I heard her laughing but I want you to go to her and tell her I've changed her name you will no longer be called Abram you're gonna be called Abraham you're no longer gonna be calm Sarai you'll be called Sarah it's interesting to me so we talked about the hand of God there's this hebrew word for the number-5 it's pronounced hay but it's literally pronounced like an exhaling of breath it means the grace of God it means the hand of God it means the blessing of the Lord [Music] the Hebrew language is an interesting language because letters represent numbers the Hebrew language is a picture language so one letter or one number can have this vast array of meanings and literally if you look at Hebrew Abram becoming Abraham sir I becoming Sarah it was the number five the hand of God which means the grace of God the breath of God the endowment of God he infused it right in the middle of their name Abraham Sarah [Music] what God is doing today is excusing you with grace I know you you believe they've been let down before but I just dare you to believe one more time because I tell you in 2019 everything that you've been believing and been let down in the past it's gonna come it's gonna come the hand of God is bringing right to you reach out and receive it reach out and receive it take hold of the great mighty hand of God the shame is broken the disgrace is broken the humiliation is broken I remove every barrier attached to your ethnicity attached to your race attached to your economic status attached to your education a degree in declare opportunities are coming even opportunities that you need to have the education for opportunities that you have the experience for opportunities that everybody said to it never be worthy of receiving worthy of walking takes but the hand of God is coming upon you looking for God [Music] [Music] they could understand the technology when you first brought it to the table they could understand the leadership strategies that you are trying to present but try it again because culture has shifted and the church is shifting as well taking our rightful place of authority and the help of God reach out it crowded right now mother spirit No lots of hope I break the depression off of you right now I lift it right now by the blood of Jesus coming down arise from the negative seat of emotions oh it's coming now arrives from the place of pain that you have found comfort in arise from the place of darkness that you have called home for several years arise out of the ashes of yesterday for I am bringing Beauty to your ashes says the Lord gonna end with this proverbs 1012 the blessing of the Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow that word sorrow there guess what jay-bez the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow no reproach no shame come on you can cry out his main interest in me Saro name my pain has become my worship you walked into church week after week looked around seeing other people crying I don't feel a thing God why is everybody else so emotional I feel disconnected
