Dr. Jamal Bryant: Don't Go There | Sep 22, 2021 - Must Watch

i appreciate psalms 24 and 1 where david printed on parchment the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof the world and they that dwell therein but even with that i still don't ignore the state department's annual advisory list of places that are unsafe for you to travel on the globe there are four different cautionary safety tiers level one is blue where you are forewarned to exercise normal precautions whereas level four which is red sternly recommends any grade of travel atop that heap of the warning list is haiti due to civil unrest their sporadic demonstrations unpredictable protest flagrant armed robbery and countless instances where visitors are targeted tracked stalked and attacked hear this after landing at the airport new birth be cautious of the adversaries attack that may come sometimes after you think you've landed it is only after you get to the place where you have been striving to arrive that everything begins to fall apart number eight on the list is mali that is experiencing inordinate terrorism and kidnapping the concern is particularly elevated over the holidays you have to be on alert over this season that you don't leave yourself accessible to terrorists who will try to kidnap your joy and hold your peace ransom languishing last on the list is yemen where attacks have skyrocketed in public spaces like shopping malls markets and even middle schools you have to be aware of bandits who will try to blow up your spot humiliate you in public space and then try to befriend you in private places the conflict in yemen has caused the destruction of the infrastructure of mainstay establishments there are some places you shouldn't go into because it will dismantle what you are trying to build the problem becomes what if the place you feel like you shouldn't be is precisely the place where god wants you to be there are few of us who can attest firsthand that god has restrained me into areas i personally would rather not occupy but god is making me be there there's another region that is on that watch list and i'm not referring to north korea or iran but there's another area on that watch list where you had advised not to travel it is iraq the reason why i underscored on the list today is we know it and pronounce it and identify it as iraq but biblically that same area is not known as iraq it is known as nineveh and so what was once called nineveh is now iraq its populists are where assyrians were both idolatrous and boisterous they didn't worship our god and were flagrant in their disrespect to our faith they were preoccupied with conquest and domination and in nineveh their next target was israel they wanted to destroy where the children of god lived as a consequence no logical jew would ever want to step foot on that terrain because they knew that they were not welcome and their life was on the line and yet with all of that glaring data that's where it is that jehovah ordered jonah it is unsettling that sometimes the lord will put you in places that are not safe places that it is hard for you to find comfort but god will send you i don't reckon that too many of you will celebrate over this word because sometimes god will send you to a job he knows you won't have joy in sometimes god will make you attend meetings that have no meaning he'll have you occupy appointments that bear no opportunities and sometimes if you're not careful god will have you in churches that will strangle your disposition [Applause] people have no idea why you don't quit why you won't walk away while you won't resign and the truth of the matter is you don't even know why you're still there and all you can come up with is that god must have me here and it's interesting that when noah built the ark he had noah build the ark and then put two animals of every kind in it but i need you to read genesis when you get a chance you'll notice that once noah got on the ark it was not noah that shut the door it was god that shut the door he shut the door why because he says i don't want you to have second thoughts about where you're supposed to be it's uncomfortable you don't like it but this is your assignment too many of us only know how to give god glory for open doors but every now and again you ought to give god glory for the doors that he shut because had you left prematurely you would have drowned in your own decision you want to thank god for what god made you stay in because you had to stay in it in order to learn the lesson there were three hebrew boys shadrach meshach and abednego and it's amazing that god ordered them to go into this fiery furnace and it wasn't for them it wasn't even for nebuchadnezzar he made them get in the fiery furnace watch this to teach the fire a lesson that no matter how powerful you think you are there are some people you will not be able to break i came to tell 500 of you sometimes god will put you in a place just so you can teach systems and structures and programs who you think you dealing with i'm not like everybody else there's a different assignment on my life and the lord sent jonah go to this place you don't want to be in go to an area where people will not value you go to a place where they will not respect what you have to offer and don't second guess it i am ascending you sending you there part of jonah's reservation is he knew that if in fact he went to nineveh hear this he knew the people would repent and change pastor what did you just say i said he knew if he went the people would repent and change that exposes for us something that i am afraid we are ignored too often and too frequently is that is that jonah had confidence that if i go my gift will work he was not afraid that his word would fall on deaf ears he was afraid that they would respond to it there are far too many of you who can hear my voice who are tentative and reticent about your gift and you got no idea god is saying if you just flow in your gift it's gonna work don't don't don't you worry about trying to measure up to other people's standards the reason why they fighting you is cause they know you gifted if if you wasn't that gifted you wouldn't have that level of opposition but they can sense if you ever get an opportunity to flow in your gift you will shut the whole thing down i am not preaching this morning to regular people i am preaching the people who are dangerously gifted that if you start working in your gift everything that you were born to do will begin to line up when you begin to flow in your gift insecure people will be exposed when you start operating in your gift people that get the title will not have the authority when you have your gift everything that you are working in we'll start leaning in your direction because your gift is waiting for your move he knew his gift was going to work but he also knew god's grace was going to manifest lord help me do you know how dangerous you are when your gift matches god's grace i just said something to somebody i said your gift is about to line up with god's grace i prophesy to somebody in this room that the last six weeks of this year you better buckle up because god is getting ready to show folk that tried to stop you that they can't block the level of grace that is on your life be seated please i need you to elbow your neighbor tell them your gift with god's grace is a dangerous combination hallelujah i feel god right there i said your gift with god's grace is a dangerous combination whatever you couldn't get done this year it will get completed before december 31st your gift and god's grace sound man turn up these monitors for me i feel like heaven church now elbow that neighbor tell them it's going to work it's going to work [Applause] in full fool array [Applause] in full full of jonah deluded himself into believing that he could escape the will of god and he said his gps to go in the opposite direction of where god was sending him to go he elected to go to tarshish which was 2500 miles away from his assignment he said i want to go as far away from where god wants me that i can possibly go that was for jonah but i'm talking now to the person sitting beside you i want to make a full announcement from heaven to the person sitting beside you you are closer than you've ever been in your life i can't hear nobody i said you are closer than you have ever been in your life if if you are driving a car you'll notice that there's a sticker in the rearview mirror that said objects are much closer than they appear you are to be giving god glory because you are close to your answered prayer you you are close to what you've been working on you are close you you're getting closer he got on this boat thinking it was the love boat not knowing it was the titanic he got on the boat thinking he was going in the opposite direction of god and i need you to hear this new birth he didn't get on for free he paid to get on that boat god help me i i want to say something to somebody in this room it costs to be disobedient it costs you to be out of the will of god it costs you only five of y'all gonna shout to pick the wrong person it it costs you to stay in the wrong circle then it costs you to stay somewhere too long it costs you when you look back over your life and you do an evaluation of of what it has cost you because your love too easy and trust too much and forgive too quick y'all ain't saying nothing but this is only for those of y'all who don't mind shouting god said this year i'm about to give you a refund for what you spent on ungrateful negroes i'm giving you a refund for how you gave yourself to people that didn't value you you get no refund god is about to pay you back for how you didn't talk back y'all ain't saying nothing he's about to pay you back for the people that took advantage of you tried to play you and treated you like the bottom of their shoe he's paying you back you got on that ship and things are going well for a while [Applause] and then a storm breaks out [Applause] the sea merchants who are aboard the ship knew that something was awry so they began to do their due diligence and they were trying to figure out who on the boat caused the storm y'all ain't gonna believe it and they figured out it was jonah y'all ain't gonna like this jonah is the only one on board who's anointed jonah's the only one on board they got a gift he's the only one on board that's got an assignment and you mean to tell me unani people threw him out y'all ain't gonna like this i gotta tell you this something is getting ready to shift because you've been mishandled by people who you should have never even talked to you you have been done dirty by folks who wasn't even in your work weight class that didn't even deserve your company or your attention and you got the nerve to throw me out sometimes sometimes a shut door is what will open heaven y'all hear what i just said i said sometimes a shut door is what will open heaven i heard somebody say when they shut a door in your face shout in the hallways because if that ain't your door god is gonna open another door down the street you gotta thank god for the shack door and they throw they throw jonah off the ship i'm in verse number 17 john chapter one they throw jonah off the ship and don't you know that a fish is positioned now [Applause] the fish is at the exact spot where jonah was thrown off i got to ask you a question i want to know how is a fish in place and you out of order how will the fish follow the word of god and you are disobedient the lord ordered for that fish to be right at that exact spot and the fish stayed right there waiting on jonah and here's what you got to know about the text is that the fish hear this new birth swallowed him but couldn't digest him the fish swallowed him but couldn't digest him i think i lost you let me back that thing up it swallowed him but he couldn't digest him can i say this for 70 y'all that ain't gonna be cute on me whoever is not supposed to have you will not be satisfied by you that they'll always have something to complain about they'll always have an issue they'll always try to compare you if you ain't supposed to have me you will never be satisfied with me [Music] so jonah finds himself in the belly of this fish and it's the first time that jonah prays when he got the call to go to nineveh he doesn't pray when he gets ready to get on the boat he doesn't pray but while he's in the belly of the fish that's when he starts praying [Applause] i don't know whether you realize it or not but sometimes god will orchestrate your life to make you go through something just so he can hear your voice see some of y'all know how to sing you know how to shout but you don't know how to pray i i i need those of y'all that still believe that just a little talk with jesus will make everything joan in the belly of this fish he begins to pray and i need you to see this i don't know if it's for you for somebody watching online and then god talks but god doesn't talk to jonah he talks to the fish preach jamal i'm trying the best i can sometimes when you don't hear the voice of god it is not because he's ignoring you it's because he's talking to the thing that's holding you god i can't hear nobody that right now god is talking to your bills he's talking to your supervisor he's talking to your circumstance he's talking to your family issue just because he ain't talking to you don't mean god ain't talking [Music] him he doesn't talk to jonah he talks to the fish and the bible says something peculiar that i can't afford for you to ignore it says that uh the fish vomited jonah god help me here uh he didn't spit jonah out no that ain't what the bible says it says that the fish vomited jonah which means that the lord made the fish get sick god y'all y'all are slow here he he made the fish get sick so that the sick fish would get rid of him i can't hear nobody in here god said whatever has been holding you it's about to get sick of you cancer is getting sicker you poverty is getting sicker you god is orchestrating he said i i i needed to come out of the fish and contrary to what you learned in sunday school that ain't a whale it ain't a whale it's a fish and the only way it could come out was come out through his mouth i think i've lost somebody here see this is a word for praisers god says when you praise me everything that is not like me is coming out of your system when you cry out under me every addiction every habit every circumstance has got to come out of you i need you to grab that neighbor's hand and say neighbor if you shout again he'll break every soul time if you shout again every area of trauma is coming out of your life every sickness every disease every vulnerability every area of brokenness is coming out of you but you gotta open up your mouth that god can get the glory with your cry right now creating me a clean heart oh god and renewed [Music] hey be seated please i'm coming thomas be seated right where you are hey thank you holy god hallelujah i did god help me i'm trying to move but he said depression is coming out of you anxiety is coming out of you sleeplessness is coming out of you loneliness is coming out of you you want to open up your mouth and shout until it comes out of your sits [Music] he vomits he vomits jonah and when he vomits jonah you remember this from vacation bible school he lands on dry ground you remember that don't you he landed not just on dry ground but he landed where he was supposed to be now in case you were daydreaming on me when jonah got into the fish hear this he was 2500 miles away from his assignment [Applause] god help me he was 2500 miles away from his assignment when he got in the belly of the fish and then he started praying god help me and then you remember in verse 17 that the fish gets sick and vomits him and he lands in the place of his assignment i think i lost you let me let let me see if i can help you he's in the belly of the fish for three days and he couldn't see nothing but he's praying and god ain't talking what jonah didn't know is that while he's 2500 miles away from his assignment when he started to pray god turned the fish around and the fish started heading in the direction of his assignment this is only for praises today god said if you shout in the next three days wherever you supposed to be is where you go land where wherever hallelujah hallelujah be seated real quick i got to show you something would you be seated real quick please please i ain't gonna bother you after this be seated real quick i got to show you something i want you to miss it hallelujah thank you holy god i need somebody's hand in your hand [Applause] hallelujah softly thomas i'm getting ready to go somebody's hand is in your hand i need to make an announcement then i'm finished somebody's hand is in your hand please i'm begging you he's out of order goes in the opposite direction begins to pray god turned the fish around then made the fish nauseous spit jonah up and jonah lands right in nineveh i want to make an announcement it's for the person whose hands you're holding and they don't even know they need this word but their soul is going to respond even if their mouth doesn't i've been praying for you all week god had you right in my spirit all week long god knew you were supposed to be here on this sunday i want to say something to somebody it ain't going to be glossy it ain't going to be new it ain't going to be nothing in hebrew or aramaic but this is what god told me to tell just 500 of you and when you receive the word of the lord you better respond to it here's what god wanted you to hear on this day in november you are where you are supposed to be [Applause] i can't hear nobody wherever you are in this season of your life this is where you're supposed to be this is the area you supposed to be here it is not a mistake you aware [Music] [Applause] [Music] everything you went through in your life was setting you up for this moment you are not

i want to pray for you [Music] [Applause] [Music] i've been praying to move [Applause] i've been praying for a change i've been praying for something different [Applause] i've been questioning where i am [Music] and god said you are where you're supposed to be lift that hand your pastor wants to pray for you [Music] i pray over the next three days that god will give you undeniable confirmation about your placement in life i pray over the next three days but god will give you clear indication that he don't need your approval for his assignment [Applause] i pray over the next three days that wherever you're not supposed to be you will be rejected over the next three days whoever's not supposed to be with you will leave you god y'all ain't saying nothing to me but over the next three days things are gonna start turning for you he's gonna place you in the right direction with that hand lifted i speak with apostolic authority i want you to just start turning in a circle right where you
