"Fruitfulness & Sustainability" - Touré Roberts

[Music] [Music] so chapter one not unfamiliar but this is man when I tell you this is your word especially when we get down to the third verse when I tell you this is your word I'm telling you this is your word it says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of this the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight this blessed man this blessed person but his delight is in the law of the Lord and and in his God's law this blessed person meditates day and night hallelujah and this is you I feel the Spirit of God I just want to I want to come down and hug each and every one of you with this truth because this is you I'm telling you for you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth your fruit in its season whose leaf will not wither you better catch this and whatever you do chill problem this is your identity this is your destiny this is your future this is you you better catch it in your spirit right now I decree over your life right now that you are a tree planted by the river of water your leave is not gonna wither and whatever you do so prosper if that is your word if you believe the word of God over your life I dare you open your mouth right now and give God something come on that is your word you better catch it you better catch it oh come on I need to hear the sound of people who believe that I need to hear the sound of people who believe it I'm blessed and God is gonna make me a tree and I'm gonna be planted in the stream of elohim and my leaf is not gonna wither i'm gonna bear fruit and whatever I do I'm about to get in alignment like I have never been in alignment before and I'll tell you right now I'm gonna hit the mark every time if you want that to be your future do me a favor and let God know you're ready to receive come on oh oh come on listen you want to break through a barrier come on I just think about eight people eight people okay okay I'm gonna teach you a little bit okay okay cuz you're gonna get this word you got I'm gonna fight darkness I'm gonna fight everything negative on your behalf you're gonna get this word you're gonna receive this word you are gonna believe this word you're gonna walk out of here becoming this word that's what's gonna happen that's what's gonna happen [Music] that's your future that's you there's some things we got to do I'm gonna talk about it there's some things we got to do to align I'm teaching real quick here's the thing here's the thing bro you might stay with me because I feel like God's gonna do something kind of crazy today bronies I feel it I feel it here's the thing Psalm 3 is not a conditional blessing Psalm 3 where he says and you will be like the tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season whose leaf will also not wither and whatsoever he she they do shall prosper is not like this conditional blessing it is a word of identity you know you gonna catch it you gonna catch it on catching in kitchen this is not like these this is for special people this is not this is this is not like these are just for the few people no no no no this is how God sees you Oh God God God sees you as a tree or like a tree and when you think about a tree a tree does not have to be coached into being fruitful the the tree just does what God created the tree to do I don't go on my backyard and negotiate with the orange tree I don't go back to my backyard and say you know you know we don't have a counseling session with my orange tree when the season comes where it is supposed to produce oranges it just produces oranges so so this truth is the truth of identity and what David does is he's riding this because he's lived in his experience again as he's saying now this is how you get into alignment to become and to function and ultimately to flourish the way that you were supposed to did you know let me tell you more than anything else as it relates to being a child of God more than anything else your job and my job what we were wired and created to do was to be fruitful Oh God what's to bear fruit to bear fruit to bear fruit in fact I love this there's another passage in Psalm 92 verse 13 and 14 you're gonna love this look at this it says those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God it gets better this is not this is not like season in and season out look at it also says they shall bear fruit win even in old age so this is not like my seasons just my season to be fruitful no no your whole life you're wired for your whole life in every season to be fruitful and every season to be fruitful there's a way to be fruitful in every season of your life and so kind of the thought that I want us to work around today is is about being fruitful I want to talk about fruitfulness and sustainability because I think for some of you your fruitful but not as fruitful as God would have you to be you're learning how to be fruitful so I want to I want to give you tools and I want to give you a way to look at your life and understand your life and look at things differently so that you can go from being a part-time fruit Bearer two full-time fruit bears some of you you're in his phase where where you've had more misses than you've had wins and I believe that that scale is getting ready to tip in your life because God wants to teach you how to work your life in such a way that it will be bullseye if anybody want that anybody tired of swinging and missing anybody I mean you just hit in every season you you hit that's what I'm talking about I think that's that's the gift of today I think that that's that's the gift of this word that God has given me it see sometimes it's those small incremental advantages it's the difference between good to great it's the difference between great and amazing sometimes it's just a small little tweak and we're going to talk about it because at the end of the day ultimately the reason why we are here God said it from the very beginning I need you to be fruitful and multiply that is to say there is more to you than you think I need you to be fruitful I need you to produce their things in you things in you and oftentimes what happens is is they're kind of like three stages of being if you would one stage of being is simply existing and this is where the majority people live their lives it's it's visionless living it's just you're just you're taking up air and whatever comes your way comes your way and it's like you know and you're not cutting through you're not cutting through I feel that you're not a force you're not cutting through you have just somehow become a part of the collective and there is no definitive thrust that you haven't discovered the definitive thrust of you can't talk to you like this you have it you're a force you're not just here to be a part of the the random collective and whatever happens to me happens to me you know it's not that that's why the Bible says don't be conformed to this world Oh God don't be conformed because the very reason why you're in this world the very reason why God brought you forth as fruit in this world is because you bring an element to this world that if you don't discover it and live in it and operate and function in it then this world will be the same when it was supposed to change them simply because your breath is in this world your breath is supposed to tip something in this world and make it better and so we can't conform so so the majority of people are just existing if you would its they you know they just try to you know find their place in the world and and and they'll just take counter whatever and that's it then there are people who are just surviving and these are the people who ultimately are depleted and and all they have they don't they don't live out of the overflow helps them by today they don't live out of the overflow so you see did you know you were supposed to live out of the overflow surviving the mentality of survival is is from a place of lack not abundance I'm gonna try to say this right we'll keep talking till we get it if I have a mentality where I'm just surviving that means that in my mind I don't have enough to progress I only have enough to maintain and that disagrees with the command to be fruitful and to multiply and so what causes us to get into this survival this depleted I'm operating from a space of lack nowhere how do we get into that vein we get into that vein when we don't rest oh god help me okay so let's talk about this a little bit let's talk about and break it down a little bit so so Psalm 1 in 3 the blessed man shall be a tree planet by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season whose leaf will not wither and whatsoever the man one man man is you know I don't have to keep doing that you don't saying whatsoever he does shall prosper is an identity of a certain posture in position that all of us have to get to so this is not the exception it's actually the rule God is explaining by revelation who you are and how you were supposed to function you are like a tree right I have put I have wired you in such a way to bring forth what you are supposed to bring forth in every season you are supposed to work in every season you are supposed to thrive in every season you you you're not getting old I feel this you're not getting too old you not pass your time there is a fruit for you for every season of your life which means that you have not missed your time you have not missed your time you just need to find your fruitfulness and so when we look at the text he's basically telling us how to get to maximum fruitfulness and he begins by talking about our external environment so he says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful so as David is teaching he automatically begins to say now in order to get to this fruitfulness you're going to have to be you're gonna have to pay very close attention to your outer environment even the tree itself the tree is wired to produce fruit but if there are contaminants in the environment hey if there are contaminants in the environment the tree cannot do I feel God what it is ordained to do not what it has the ability to do know what it is ordained to do what it was created to do that means that there is ability in you that cannot be stopped if you can adjust and manage your environment you've got to see yourself as a tree you've got to see yourself as someone who is carrying something you've got to look in the mirror and say I have not seen the fullness of me yet there are things on the inside of me that God wants to bring out of me in every season of my life and I've got to manage the environment that I allow my tree to be in you have got to become a gardener over your own life you have to begin to speak to environments and say environment you are not worthy of the treasure that is only inside of me you're a tree and you have precious fruit to produce and because you are know because I Know Who I am I can't expose myself to everything I can't I can't I can't I know you know we think you know you know I can just look I can I can be in it but not of it first of all actually show me that inscription we made that up it's not there just show me prove me wrong in it and out of it is a cute little church thing and I understand it right because you have to go until you got to do things but sometimes we get a little comfortable with that I'm in the club but not of the club and if you get in something long enough it's gonna get in you come on somebody let's tell the truth get in it long enough play around with it long enough anything you're in long enough I don't care how pressure proof you believe you are I don't care how pressurize you think your spirit is care how many seals you think you got on your spirit I can go anywhere you stay that long that abyss starts seeping through your ears and you know getting your nose uh-huh when you understand you a tree and you got something to produce and when you recognize that you're supposed to you're supposed to produce a bit but the buhdeuce he's supposed to produce in every season you're very careful about the environments that you put yourself in and that's what David is talking about when he says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel these are all environments external environments and the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful and that those are all that's probably the three sermons in and of themselves he says you got a you got to manage your external don't think that you're better than anybody else but I'm talking about and sometimes you'll have to work in crazy environments am I saying it and sometimes you have to move and function sometimes your house is a crazy environment what I'm talking about is openness I'm talking about youuuu being in places you you you sometimes would connect it to things that we know aren't good it's funny that word that was translated ungodly says he walks not in the counsel on the ungodly I look at the Hebrew word in Hebrew word literally means wrong it just means just wrong you ever met somebody that was just and you try to describe them you don't mean you try to like you know well tell me you know about Jerome you know and you just start thinking and you know and you laugh a little bit you know and then you well you know and the true adjective to describe Jerome is just Jerome just wrong you try to laugh it off he's it's wrong it's just all wrong and sometimes they're people in our lives that have fun and they might stimulate or a stroke a certain part of us but at the end of the day they're wrong and sometimes their counsel the way that they think will sip in and you will think that it's not getting in and you'll be in the conversation and then next thing you know one of Jerome's thoughts just comes up or something that Jerome would say I hope that there's no one in here named Jerome I'm sorry I'd thrown such a beautiful name out this is just you know I should have said Archibald or something like that that would be but but the point is we have to we've got we've got to protect this thing because I've got to manifest Psalm one and three because because that that's who I am and that's what I have to get to and so and so so the the writer is teaching us and he says you have to pay attention to environment and then he goes into something else and when I say environment I'm talking about external environment and then it goes into something else and this is really funny to me because he goes into this inner environment he starts talking about that and he goes into verse two and so it says in verse one blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful and verse 2 it says but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law he meditates day and night now if you were here the past couple of weeks we've been talking about Revelation right and and how revelation is what I referenced last week what I call the stream of Elohim it is the endless infinite Word of God it is the Word of God over your life concerning your life everything that you should need to know is in the word specifics about your future specifics about your destiny specifics about who you are specifics about how you're supposed to move and function in life are in the stream of Elohim this is the revelation of God in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God in the Word was God and the word became flesh all things that were made were made by this word everything that God wants to make in your life and through your life he will make through and by revelation so so right now there there is a stream the stream of God's well you have to have a relationship with the Lord you can't have a relationship with religion you gotta have a relationship with God there is a difference there is a difference religion is to get you to the relationship are you tracking with me and once you get to the relationship you've got the gold and the most critical part of the relationship the most valuable part of the relationship with God is your ability to tap into the revelation of God oh god help me the most valuable part of your relationship with God is not the miracles that God will perform in your life is not him bailing you out not it's not that the most valuable part is the relationship itself and that relationship brings with it revelation I need revelation from my life I don't need revelation for your life unless I am prophesying to you and ministering to you and that is for a short moment I need revelation for my life Lord should I go left or should I go right should I go up and fight come on David should I go up and fight the Amalekites or should I stay back down here in the valley I need revelation okay God should I take this deal or should I not take this deal and if I should take this deal should I take this deal in this matter who or that manner what should I say what should I speak how should I deal with this child should I spank this child but shall I talk to thee that's a lot that's a lot to know and you are not gonna pick up sixty-six books and find it all the time I need specifics God specifics about this moment I need specifics about my marriage I need specifics about my money I need specific and it's really simple if you study the scripture God gave those he was in relationship with specifics that's revelation and so this this guy who is on his way to being a tree planted by the rivers of water who brings forth this fruit and every season whose leaf doesn't wither and whatever he does shall prosper is one who delights in Revelation anybody'll of Revelation I love that about my relationship with God that I can go in my prayer closet and get instruction and guess what and it's always right it's always right and always moves me forward Norman and will never move me backwards access to the river and sometimes we don't want the river because we want what we want and the river might be moving in a direction that is opposite of what I want so I don't want the river I want Jerome I don't want the river today not tonight Lord now I'll tap into the river tomorrow morning because I'm gonna need some refreshing but do I have anybody that loves revelation you come to a place in your life where you realize God no I need you to tell me I've messed it up on my own I've tried to do I have followed my heart and my heart is leve into destruction time and time again my heart knows how to make something look so real hmm I didn't mean to do this this is not in my notes I don't I don't trust my heart whoa can I just go there for a minute just for a second I don't trust my heart because my heart does not know how to distinguish between compassion and foolishness ooh my heart it it was saying what this can't not be wrong and sometimes it's a matter of the right thing at the wrong time I don't I don't I don't trust my heart my heart will make me return to something that the Lord delivered me from I don't want to do this I just want to help two or three people I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't really trust my heart like that you know what the Bible says but heart says it's desperate and deceitful and what's worse is it says who can know it who could know it and then later on it says God I the Lord you know that's Jeremiah 17 later on it says I the Lord I I know your heart but you don't know your heart you can't see it right you are too involved with your heart to see it right you know I'm saying like you too you know sometimes when there's a law enforcement there's a case and there's a law enforcement connect it's the case they pulled a law enforcement person off the case because he or she won't be able to see clearly to make decisions that will ultimately win what they are pursuing so I don't I don't trust my heart I trust revelation because revelation is not sympathetic to my desire it is sympathetic to my destiny are you tracking with me it is sensitive to my destiny it's not I will watch this I will unknowingly sacrifice destiny from a heart's desire and that's why the heart is desperate is deceitful so so so we have to love revelation there's another place that says delight yourself in the Lord it says and he will give you the desires of your heart you know what that means it doesn't mean if you delight yourself with the Lord then everything you wish for will manifest he says if you delight yourself in the lord if you delight yourself in the lord if you give God your heart then God will appropriate your desire in other words he will give you what to desire and that's what you want Lord I don't want my heart to desire anything that is not connected to my future maybe that's your prayer today just just for a moment if this part of the message is ministering to you just let that be a part of your prayer god I don't want my heart to desire anything that is not connected to my destiny oh come on let's just do it real quick come on on three one two three I don't want my heart to desire anything that is not connected to my destiny now I'm gonna take you even deeper I'm gonna take you even deeper we're gonna ask God to remove can we have real charts today see some of you nervous right now don't be nervous what you want to get to verse three don't be nervous some we're gonna ask God and I'll lead you in it because I know you're struggling God removed from my heart oh that was very weak come on you watch me unlike um let's do it God removed from my heart anything that is not connected to my destiny oh I feel something in here right now something is about to break you've been looking for fruitfulness and you've been looking for progress but I hid God saying you connected to something your heart is toward you're not delighting in the revelation of God you're delighting in it man it is these moments in a service where what a preacher can be a prophet or he can just be a good talk giver and there's every you know any any real man or woman to God to tell you that there's always that moment where you can stick to the script or you can deal with something when you feel God digging in a room and I feel God digging in a room and I'm willing to be a little unorthodox right now in order to get you to something because because my whole mandate and my whole objective today is to get you to Psalm 1 in 3 not because I think that that solely for the sole reason it's because I know that that's what God wants for you he wants you to be that tree that doesn't miss much and as you continue to walk with God you'll miss less and less and less and less why because you've learned to delight yourself in the revelation of God I don't do anything without revelation it can be the smallest of things I'll be invited someplace and it'll be fine it might even seem like there's a business element to it but it won't feel right here so I won't move and sometimes it's not that that watch this sometimes here's our relation work sometimes it's not that that is bad it's just that if you make yourself available to that you might miss this over here that you don't know anything about because when you say yes to something you are saying no to everything else that is not it I wish I could say that better what if you make yourself available to one thing you're making yourself available to another thing so sometimes because revelation is infinitely knowledgeable it knows something that you wouldn't even know to look at and so sometimes it's not know because that thing is bad or that person is bad but sometimes what's going on is revelation is looking down the road sometimes revelation tells you not to deal with someone not for who they are but for who they may one day be that that's the stream of Elohim you're looking at him now you're looking at her now and everything looks good on paper but they're getting ready to crash and burn there's a devil that's getting ready to come out of them sometimes when you don't have the peace that revelation gives to your heart you got to trust it because it's factoring in remember revelation is connected to your destiny not your desire Revelation is not connected to the next five years of your life Revelation is connected to your kids and your grandkids are we tracking together so he says it says his delight is in the law of the Lord in the revelation of the Lord right all they had at that time was the law we have revelation right his delight is in the revelation of the Lord and in that revelation he meditates day and night and then it goes into essentially this successful living now that's kind of interesting to me because like like every book that you read about being successful says very little about meditating very little it's go get it go after it you got to do this Network how to win Flynn friends and influence people how to do the 48 laws of power none of you read that 48 ways to manipulate somebody all these books now I'm not knocking a book god bless out whatever okay but most of the books that are about success are either about you craftily becoming influential or an influencer not because you're wonderful but because you're trying to get that person to your product let's just keep it 100 or it is you gotta hustle man you gotta hustle man just hustle all that but here in the text it's saying that the way to success in progress is actually through meditating we say no pastor says you meditating on the law yeah but here's the thing you cannot even get the law you cannot even get revelation without meditation I'm gonna give you a tool to give you to d2 how do you get revelation you get revelation by creating space for Revelation so so this man who is blessed he delights in the law of the Lord in the revelation the Lord and in this revelation he meditates day and night he creates space both in the morning and in the night for revelation to come oh god here we go he creates space watch this for some of you the switch from good to great is going to be in you creating white space for revelation to come and occupy oh you got to get this you got to get this let me just be direct you're too busy you're too busy for your own good and if I might be honest with you man I got like it's like I've got like I have I have to fight and wrestle with this inner taskmaster I haven't I'm serious I got and I think he's got a whip and every time you know I want to just take a minute and breathe he just get back to work I have like this I'll be honest with you I have this inner taskmaster and and this inner taskmaster he gets in my head sometimes and the moment that my body and even sometimes my spirit is saying take a minute he says you can't take a minute you've got 4700 things to do you cannot take him in and get back to work and then he gets crafty and then he tries to throw the word on me you know slothfulness is a sin you know if a man doesn't work he doesn't eat even though I just worked for 4600 hours straight before I had the nerve to try to take 15 minutes some of you in here and your breakthrough is not going to happen through some huge as I mentioned early cosmic miraculous boom and God shows up and does something amazing for you it is literally going to be in you doing something that is miraculous according to your history and you resting and you take in a minute I promise you right now you're healing for some of you you're healing and the progress that you seek and some of you have even lost yourself man I'm trying to stop but I feel like I'm I'm in a zone some of you you you're wandering you've lost yourself when you're wondering where you are I'll tell you where you are you are scattered at all of your busyness and all of your busyness or all of your businesses that's where you are and when you stop it gives God a chance to return back to you to return you back to you from all of these other things that you have placed yourself in so watch this you are broken because there are pieces of you in all these areas of busy and watch this and now you are not even producing your best because you're only producing according to your fragments so si si si there's a reason why God put right there in the ten commandments this thing called the Sabbath which the negative one has created so much controversy over people make the Sabbath about a day the Sabbath is not about a day although the Sabbath was Saturday but it was never about a day the Sabbath was about rest it was never about a day God is not religious like that and you have some people I don't know why you're Church people in you and you think the Sabbath is Sunday I don't think the Sabbath to Sunday I know when Shabbat is she about is Saturday but why don't you what did you because she for me Sunday is work not rest and quiet near now people are foolishly arguing over the day when it was never about the day it was about the rest because God knows if you don't rest you will die he knows that if you don't pause to recreate recreation to recreate yourself your endless creating will cause you to be nothing the more that you and I create without rest the less we are because we create out of the essence of ourselves I'm not preaching today I'm teaching so so the more I create hi let me if your creator and those of you who think you aren't you actually are you just don't it's a semantic thing for you we're creating the image of God which means that we're creating right right now we create everything we do is creativity if you constantly create you're creating out of yourself if you if your creativity is creating out of yourself and you do not stop to rest and create recreate yourself you die so the more I create and the less I rest the less I am and the less fruitful I am because I cannot produce much because I am less I wish you catch that that's why many creative people let's just say it's music write a whole bunch of songs but if you would rest you would write that one song that changes so if I value what I create if I value what I produce I will do more resting so when I step up to bat I bat it out of the park I start looking like Psalm one and three whose leaf will not wither and whatever I do shall prosper because my rest has allowed for my best to be in what I produce let me show you how deep it is so in Shabbat in the Sabbath he says he's supposed to work six days and on the seventh day you rest that literally means that fourteen percent of your time should be in stillness 14% that's a lot 14% of your time of your life should be intentionally committed towards watch this nothing I love it you go to see a sign eyes Hospital of course it's a Jewish Hospital and on the Sabbath they still do but on the Sabbath the elevators stopped on every floor so that you don't even lift a finger to touch the button can I teach you the best.you is not too busy you the best.you is the you that gives 14% to nothing to white space so that revelation can come to you and show you what's next I'm not even so much concerned about what is now see if you don't rest you'll be up on what's now but not realizing that rested people while you are consumed with now resting rested people are creating what you will one day call now I need to say that better I I had one of my spiritual sons asked me the day he's like there's so much going in your life or you in your you know you blessing and all these things are happening for you all that kind of stuff that's one you you must be tired how does it feel I said first of all it feels old because once something is manifest its old because I recognized that if it's manifest it was once a revelation it used to be a revelation now it's a manifestation so what I'm gonna do in manifestation is get back to Revelation so I'll always be current and I cannot get I'm about done I cannot get to Revelation unless I give God his 14% and I'll be honest with you I'll be honest with you it takes faith to give God your 14% it takes faith because you have to be you have to be strong enough to believe that you won't lose anything in that 14 percent that you sacrifice to get the clarity that you need to move forward sometimes family it takes more faith to stop than it does to go see we haven't taught that type of faith we've taught faith that's all about taking steps and we we've taught faith that's all about taking action faith without works we taught faith with works but there's another type of faith it's the faith that gives you the shrimp to stop be still and know that I'm God the process to get into who you are you are Psalm 1 in 3 I promise you you are that's who you were created to be God when he is inspiring David to write this song it's talking about a tree all along blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel then he starts talking about environment blessed is a tree that manages its environment blessed is a tree that doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly doesn't do that he manages environment blesses a tree that delights in Revelation that's the stream of Elohim that's the river who delights in the law of the Lord and in his law he meditates day and night for he shall be you got to see it for he shall be this person this is what this person looks like spiritually here is a parable a tree planted by the rivers of water it's revelation water in the scripture often times is used to to reveal or to identify with the Holy Spirit I'll be a well of living water springing that never runs dry springing up into everlasting life this is your normal whose leaf will not wither you'll never ever run out of wisdom run out of Revelation even in old age you'll still be flourishing imma have a revelation when I'm 90 praise God praise God imma have revelation I'm when I'm 120 years old come on somebody I'm gonna have revelation I'm gonna still have revelation I may not be able to catch you because when you get a certain age running is just for emergencies only you don't you just take your time I may not be able to catch you but I understand what's going on I want to pray for you God wants you to be fruitful he wants you to have fruitfulness and sustainability and that 14 percent I say all this really to get you to the 14 percent what's your takeaway your takeaway is one I want you to see yourself as a tree I want you to see yourself your takeaways I want you to see yourself as as one who you've got fruit in you you've got fruit and your fruit in you has fruit so you're a big deal you're a big deal and I don't want you to be discouraged about your moment you don't ever see trees discouraged in season whether they're gaining nutrients feel that for some of you some of you discouraged and you know realize you're a tree God is just trying to teach you how to plug in and have a tap in you have a mission moment I don't know that's for but you haven't missed your moment you have a mistress season you're a tree and as long as you're alive you're not a dead tree you're a live tree and guys it's going to show you how to plug into the stream the stream of Elohim that is going to manifest the fruit that's in you got to manage your environment you got a delight in the revelation of God you got to seek it out open up the Scriptures and look for revelation find your book buy somebody's anointed and look for revelation talk to people who get it understand always be looking for revelation I'm looking for revelation I will not move without revelation I'm looking for revelation revelation is my yellow brick road it's my yellow brick road I'm looking for it I'm looking forward and I know it's there so I got to figure out what I need to do maybe I need to switch up my environment a little bit because Revelation is there I need to find it I'm not waiting for it to find me and I'm gonna give God his 14 percent and I want that to be your biggest takeaway and I want you to give God and you can do the math if you want to on your own time on your own level but what this 14 percent of every day look like for you or 14 percent of every week I don't trust you with a month I don't trust you like that trust you with Matthew and you try to double up I'm gonna give him a 28 percent next I don't trust you like that but what is 14 percent of your day or of your week look like to give to God and not to go get in that still place and use that too I'm telling you man I know we got to go but I'm telling you the liar is such an abuser of white space because the moment you and I get white space we think is social media time well since I'm not doing anything you almost have to like resist it you gotta like fight against it you know what I'm saying you gotta like like no take it off your phone make it easy to do what you know you need to do you know what I'm saying that that's what mastery is mastery is deciding the things that are most important to you and building your life creating disciplines around doing them that's mastery are you tracking with me what's most important you can't have 25 things that are most important to you your most important list should come down about five things max right and you take those five things and you build discipline and structure and you'd be committed about it right if you fall off one day that's fine don't fall off two days in a row I don't know who this is for I'm trying to stop what's important to you and maybe when you take that 14 percent of your day or that 14 percent of your week you asked with God for revelation around those things that you've identified are the most important things to you you mess up one day that's okay get back into it the next day because if you do it for two days you're creating another rhythm you're creating a new rhythm a new rhythm of failure not success we got go but I wanna I just wanted this is so unorthodox but I just want to make sure I get everybody that's what I prayed for give them that 14 percent when those thoughts come cuz I'm gonna tell you right now the thoughts gonna come you're gonna start thinking about all the things you got to do and you're gonna look up and you're gonna be out of that steel place you got to fight against it you got to know that if God is God enough to say I'm telling you I'm the owner of the universe I know everything about your life and I'm telling you right now take a day and take it completely down and don't do anything literally cease all the words associated with Sabbath is not just you right it's you not doing anything you resting like very little energy exertion don't even drive your car to the synagogue walk and walk slowly take your time it's it's like that and get still and here's what's gonna happen when you get still when you get still and you fight and you combat all those worries and all those all those anxieties that try to come at you and you fight them back and you get still and you get in a place where you have capacity for God the first thing you're gonna feel is the love of God the love of God the pure love of God is going to hit you in a real way in a real way and when that pure love of God hits you and you open up and you start receiving the love of God is gonna allow you to start releasing some of the things that you've been holding on to that take up that white space and you won't even know you won't even know you won't even know it's there until you just receive his love and it's gonna start moving things out of the way and then God's gonna start reminding you of things that he said to you and he's gonna affirm you and all the while you're receiving all of this you're gonna be releasing negative head fillers and negative heart fillers and all these sort of things and then when you have received when you have released when you're receiving overwhelms you're releasing a revelation will come because you've created space 14 percent I didn't work out the numbers before I can you work them out because you delight in revelation take that time every day and some of you are gonna get unstuck and you're gonna move forward I love you I want to pray for you I got to stop I'm well past the time I want to pray for you if you hear and maybe we all can stand for a moment if you're here and what really hit you today was environment was environment and you're like pastor I gotta make some shifts in environment I haven't been I haven't governed my life I haven't I haven't treated myself and my life like I'm a tree and I have been going to places and exposing myself to environments that are not conducive for the growth of the fruit that's only inside of me and I need help getting out of these environments because if I'm honest some of these environments are it's even the environment of a relationship or a circle or club and if I'm honest I know if I'm honest I feel like a fraud in those environments because I'm not fully being Who I am in the environment and I'm not being fully Who I am in the Lord and I don't want to play with my Psalm 1 3 I wanna I really I want to be i'ma pray for you something's gonna break but I want to be I want to be I'm gonna be this tree please understand the implications of Psalm 1 & 3 this is not a I might win I might lose the this is a guaranteed identity a guaranteed reality that I will bring forth fruit in every scene when I'm supposed to I'll be bearing fruit and if there's not fruit in my life or if I'm not experiencing harvest is because I'm not in harvest season but I'm still connected to the water which means that when I'm not experiencing harvest harvest outwardly it's because I'm experiencing harvest inwardly so so my happiness is not determined by out of fruit because I'm plugged in I'm plugged in you might not think I'm prospering because you're looking for prosperity on the outside but I can feel what's happening to me on the inside I'm getting stronger I'm getting wiser I'm getting lighter I'm getting freer I'm getting brighter oh yes I am so so I'm not even I don't even I don't even need your validation because you don't know how to see right anyway because your name is Jerome just kidding I got a friend named jewel but I don't because something's happening I'm being governed by revelation and watch this and my life by revelation is gonna outlast yours I see some by revelation I'm seeing further down the road let me tell you something I've seen people rise and fall I've seen people rise and you have to I've seen people rise so fast and so high that there is an illusion that they will never come down and where are they now but I've never seen anybody whose life was built by revelation fall off so even when it's not happening outside and see someone you needed that affirmation right there because man a plan looks at the outer appearance and he makes his judgments on what's happening outside he says the guy's not looking at that I'm looking at your heart because if I get your insides together your outsides will follow it says and you'll bear for for your fruit in its season there's a season for you it's the season so you plugged in and you got to understand a season's seasonal not the goodness of God but the fruit bearing is seasonal and so when it's not fruit bearing time externally you're getting stronger internally I've got a stop and we got to put come out of some environments if you're here and you say pastor I I'm new to this whole thing but I want I want to be a child of Revelation that's your portion as a child of God if that's you I want you to come meet me at the altar as well I wanna pray for you and pray for you that's your poison come on you want to be a son or daughter revelation that's your voice you know he's gonna enlighten your eyes he's gonna enlighten your eyes he's gonna enlighten your eyes man I don't know where I'd be without revelation who without oh I came it's a scary thought to live in this life without the stream of Elohim Oh God I mean what do I have if I don't have revelation what do I have if I don't have insight it's scary father I thank you so much for this moment that you allowed us to have I thank you for or the sons and daughters are in this room right now blessed precious I know you love them cuz I feel your love for them flowing through me right now you're into them you've got them covered you know the plans that you have for them they are good plans and not evil plans plans to prosper them and not to arm them to give them a future and a hope God you know you know what's in them you've called them trees trees yep that you planted that you planted and so god this is just about speaking to them who they are not who you're trying to get them to be you're just telling them the truth just tell them the truth because it's so much that wars against that truth and so father seal this truth in their heart that some lurk God who are seeing themselves differently I thank you they're gonna walk differently they're gonna talk differently they're gonna expect differently and they're not going to receive the rejection is gonna feel different it's gonna feel affirming it's gonna feel affirming hallelujah where it used to strip away confidence it's gonna embolden all the more oh yes it is hallelujah and because they're gonna know within themselves they are trees hallelujah planet by the rivers of water that will bring forth fruit in every season whose leaf will not wither hallelujah no negative word can make it wither nor door closed in their lives can make it wither no traumatic experience can make it with it their leaf shall not wither and whatsoever revelation leads them to do it shall prosper shall prosper all they do is win she'll prosper they're gonna begin to win and win over and over and over again and they're gonna know that it's because of the revelation of God who God told me I was and what he told me to do and what he showed me and every vision and every dream that God has spoken over your life your eyes are gonna see you're gonna see outward when he spoke to you in word Lee and father there's some here who've never experienced or who think that they have never experienced your voice in their lives for themselves yet you've been speaking to them through many ways and I thank you God that as a result of the openness that they their hearts are towards you right now I thank you God that they're gonna tap into that stream that truth your voice and your voice will no longer be a strange voice or voice that they question but they will know oh that's God this is the way I'm gonna walk in it seal that in their hearts and in their minds I just want you to feet after me Heavenly Father I thank you for this word I receive it I am a tree planted in your stream and I will bring forth fruit in its season I will not wither and whatever I do will prosper I thank you for Jesus thank you for making him who had no sin all of mine all of my shortcomings all of my weakness all of my limitation you placed in his body nailed it to the cross and put it to death but when he was raised up free and victorious because I'm in him I'm raised up to I'm no longer bound by my setbacks or shortcomings in him I'm whole and I'm being completed each day and God I delight in the words that come out of your mouth I'm a child of Revelation I will hear your voice I will know your voice and I will move by your voice and because I do I will not fail but I will prosper from glory to glory to glory my pastors behind me my future is glorious and I declared this day that I'm on my way in Jesus name Amen amen come on celebrate God with me [Music] you
