Dry Places

coming up on The Potter's tent there are people who are gifted enough to have the job but you end up you can't hire the person not because they don't know enough but because they are a dry place and generally dry places are a learned behavior if you're raised by somebody who acted out their moods in front of you it teaches you to act how you feel and you call it keeping it real I call it keeping it broke I call it keeping it broke and keeping it lonely and keeping it frustrated because nobody is attracted to dryness greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our King I am excited let me tell you something I've got a word from the Lord that is a devil chasing message today if you've been plagued if you've been overwhelmed if you've been fighting battles on the inside if you've been going through spiritual warfare oh my god this is really going to destroy I'm not just breaking it's gonna destroy pulverized the yoke of the enemy in your life the message is called dried places could it be that the enemy is walking through your life because you are in a dry place maybe we can close the door and stop his access to you right now I believe we can the word says we can if you come into agreement and listen to what I'm about to teach to you Satan's power will be broken by the power of his word take a look at this and get ready to be blessed a personality is a gift I didn't always know that I thought everybody had one I thought everybody knew how to be nice and how to be pleasant and how to be quarter I just took it for granted I took it for granted I grew up in a public service environment where I've always worked with people whether it was sales my father whether themselves he was in sales before he opened up his own business we've always had to interact with people when he opened up his own business we had to work with staff we had to work with customers we had to work with all types of people and you had to have personality or you were broke and you'd be surprised how annoying it to be nice you are when you don't get paid for not being nice it little make you smile good morning welcome to JC Penney's and the reason you have to say good morning welcome to JC Penney's whether you feel like it or not is that dry places turn people off you don't have to be mean to be dry some people can't distinguish being from dry it wasn't meant you were rude yeah just so what do you want to order I'll be back when you make up your mind if you would just say that with a smile and some common courtesy it would make both of our experiences better and guess what your tip would be triple just because you learn how to be nice because nobody wants to work with somebody no matter how gifted they are if they're a dry place there are people who are gifted enough to have the job but you end up you can't hire the person B not because they don't know enough but because they are a dry place and generally dry places are a learned behavior if you're raised by somebody who acted out their moods in front of you it teaches you to act how you feel and you call it keeping it real I call it keeping it broke I call it keeping it broke and keeping it lonely and keeping it frustrated because nobody is attracted to dryness except maybe the devil because I think that it is in the issue that the scripture says that the enemy walketh through Dry places so if I work if I were evil and I wanted to make sure I had access to you I would do things to you to keep you dry to keep you dry to keep you dry to keep you think what would you do to keep people drive one thing I make you tired because one of the definitions of tired or weary check this out is to have your sense of pleasure exhausted your sense of pleasure exhausted maybe I would keep you so busy that you would lose your smile and lose your joy and lose your thankfulness and become a dry place because if I was the enemy I would know that nobody wants to walk through Dry places but Devils you just totally you don't want to dry waiter you don't want to dry salesclerk you don't want to drop you Titian bring your head back Oh your head down be still isn't it funny how attitude changes the whole experience if I walk out the door right now I've already preached something then that bit that people need to know because I see a lot of people blaming all kinds of other people for things you bring on yourself you brought it on yourself they left you cuz of you now what I believe you might be there but if I believe you you got to do something real you come on now come on come on come on we got some work to do on like a yard look we got something you got to do your what I did man you got to do your you drive nobody likes to walk through Dry places but Devils to have your sense of pleasure exhausted to lose your ability to be happy to have joy to be thankful to be grateful to develop a negative pathology creates and dry place and I'm just wondering if the enemy might not be walking through you because you are a dry place none is paying for the old dry socket any dry place aches could you be in pain because you've gotten weary you've lost your your sense of pleasure has been exhausted you've put players your on the back burner you put Joy on the back burner you've put everything that would make life have spice on the back burner and then all of these catastrophes one right after another after another after another starts hitting you and maybe the Lord meant for you to be here just to know that Devils will walk through drive places you're watching over the internet if you don't get anything else I said today if you get that take that with you and it will change your life Devils walk through Dry places you want the devil to walk through your house let it be dry you want the devil to walk through your marriage just get dry get dry and all hell will break loose because just like you don't want to drive wader nobody wants to drive husband that's on your mind none [Applause] what you think about none and here's the turbo part you weren't driving when she married you you have become dry over the years now the enemy is walking through your dry places and I want to close the door on him this morning so that he can't get through your dry places because I figure if dry places affect you spiritually Devils walk through it economically you lose pain emotionally you lose relationships then I think this is important enough for us to talk about it rather than he's gonna give you a double for your trouble he gonna give you seven times by spreading around jump by one foot all that's good but when you get through dancing you go back to the dry place because it doesn't explain what's going on it doesn't explain what's going on we have simplified things down to just simple stuff or add this phrase away I'm just all about to be there but sometimes you need to break it down to people specifically what you need to do so that the joy last pass the parking lot I don't need a joy that only happens when the preachers preach it I don't need a joy that only comes from the choir I want to join that comes from my soul from my spirit from the depths of my being that I could do by myself I don't need all y'all to give me joy I'm in joy in my living room on my couch driving the work doing my dishes wet job [Applause] whoa I feel I feel blurry in the room right now I feel deliverance in the room right now I feel the stirring of the Holy Spirit in this place right now I don't want the enemy to steal your life away from you your life is supposed to be getting brighter it's supposed to be getting stronger it's supposed to be better with age John 7:37 I want you to give this this is gonna be so good you're gonna be so glad you got this cuz this is gonna change your week your month in your year I'm not saying that the devil's not gonna try to do something but when he gets ready to walk your property you gonna pull your water hose and when you pull your water hose everything is going to change watch this watch it John 7:37 in the last day that great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried saying if any man - hold it right there it's the last day of the feast everybody's packing up to go home they've had the religious ceremony it's all over and they're getting ready to go and Jesus understands that religion has not delivered on its promise and before they go back home totally frustrated another Sunday morning I'm not getting what they need Jesus cries out there are only two times in the New Testament that this Greek word is root for cry is crawl so it means to scream what is he doing we packing man what is it boy over there over [Music] if Jesus appeared in this church this morning and said if any man passed how many people would come how many people would come I'd drop this iPad so fast you'd hear glass shatter on the floor I want this water I can't live without this water still to come on the palace touch maybe I was never talking about water at all maybe I was talking about warship maybe warship is what the Holy Spirit sits on maybe with women when I open my mouth and begin to praise God out of my belly that the Holy Spirit will come and ride hold the wave of my warship ride on King Jesus no man cannot hinder me maybe Jesus isn't sitting with me because I have no warship I found the new perspective a new hope I

talking about worship at water but now we're talking about worship is it the water or is it the worship visit the worship whether the water is the water either the worship is water is the worship I thought we were talking about water oh we've been talking about water in me all of a sudden why is he talking about worship when he was talking about water we've been talking about water the whole

worship worship where is he talking about worship is he talking about water and other worship worship how did we get a worship when all day long we've been talking about water or were we talking about water maybe we weren't ever talking about water maybe we were - maybe I've been teaching for 40 minutes now about worship and you've been thinking I've been talking about water maybe I was never talking about water at all maybe I was talking about worship maybe worship is what the Holy Spirit sits on maybe when women when I opened my mouth and begin to praise God out of my belly that the Holy Spirit will come and rise on the wave of my warship ride on King Jesus no man cannot hinder me maybe Jesus isn't sitting with me because I have no warship I go to worship services I have worship expressions but am I really worshipping you know what my washin is what gives him a seat and suddenly I realized that if I have no worship he has no place to sit I have been trying my best to get God
