Full Throttle | Sarah Jakes Roberts

[Music] I'm so excited about this word I've been praying on it I don't know if you all know this or not but I got ordained cuz I'm like [Applause] there was something about this community that really convinced me that even though I didn't fit like this idea of ministry that there was a place for my voice I love you guys thank you for accepting me as I am crazy bootleg preaching and all into our incredible pastor Pastor Turing thank you for seeing things in me that I didn't even see in myself I love you thank you the title of my message is full throttle full throttle and I was preparing for this message in them of course I have a text but you know I always have an analogy so here it goes there are two types of drivers there are drivers who are safe they're law-abiding they don't live in Los Angeles because you got to do what you got to do right here the first time okay real quick and then I'm gonna get on subject first time I was driving in Los Angeles I'm from Texas for those of you who don't know and I was oh okay and so I was going to make a left turn on Ventura and you know the light turn yellow and then it turned random turn green cars kept coming it wasn't like an arrow and so I was waiting to be able to go and your pastor told me that you make left turns when the light turns red which I went to driver's education and rent does not mean make your left turn I'm a law-abiding driver okay I Drive the speed limit we get to where we're going on time everyone's safe you can have a pleasant conversation you can enjoy music it's like two types of driver the second type is pastor Trey so I don't know if he's made a pact with like heaven because he's been in ministry for so long where like police don't see him because like he switches it's like the fast and furious like he judged drives so quickly and so when he drives my car he like he floors it sometimes like just for no reason like making love turning wrong and I'm like why why you know and he goes why god I like cleaning the pipes out because when you don't drive it it doesn't live to its potential and I'm all about things living to its potential so he's flooring it in my car and then when I'm driving my car for no reason at all it did picks up than like me and the baby have to be all strapped in in the car seat because he's been driving my car at full throttle for no reason and as I was preparing for this message I just felt prophetically I just felt like there was a word from the Lord that some of us had been on cruise control but that God was about to do something in our life that was going to put us into full throttle that the waiting game is over that you've paid your dues that you've learned your lessons and now I'm about to unleash you into your destiny like never before that I know you've been watching other people win and other people succeed but that was just training ground because what I'm about to do in your life I've haven't seen ears haven't heard I'm about to invest power down on the inside of you enough power to shake up industries and those powers that make people put some respect to in your name I'm going to give you the kind of power that makes people start asking you how did you do what you do and you'll say it wasn't me it was the power working down on the inside of me I couldn't have done it on my own but there was something about an encounter I had with his power come on Holy Spirit you are welcomed here do you know what you're asking for when you start saying you're welcomed here you're asking for supernatural power you're not just asking for a sweet little worship moment that we have one Sundays and Wednesdays we're asking for the kind of power that gives us confidence to write that book to write that screenplay to break things off with our families to heal our broken hearts to come up with a plan to get homeless off of the street he's given us power in a vision and wisdom so I'm not just saying Holy Spirit you are welcomed here so that I can go back and say man we sure had Church I need that power I need that Holy Spirit I need them to show me when to speak and when to listen I needed I needed I needed and I want to talk about us heading in the full-throttle and in order to set up the text I have to give you a bit of background so Jesus at this point in the text has died resurrected and he's sitting amongst the disciples did you know that seven of the disciples were fishermen Jesus ministry was three years long but at the very beginning of his ministry he went around and he would see fishermen and he said come follow me and that will make you fishers of men now they followed him and what they saw was really men being drawn to him not necessarily them becoming fishers of men the interesting thing is that when they were just fishing they never really were interested in becoming fishers of men but for some reason they received a word that changed their capacity like for some reason they thought that they were just content fishing and then all of a sudden they were exposed to an idea or a thought that changed what they thought was possible for themselves isn't that why so many of us are even in this room is that we received a word that changed our capacity everyone else in the neighborhood was fine just doing what everyone else did and getting married and then living happily ever after or going to school and working at the plant but for some reason there was this crazy idea in our mind that we were born to stand out not to sit in that we were born to change the world that that we didn't just have to accept it because it was the way everything was we received an idea that changed our capacity I don't have to do it the way my mother did it or my father did it I have this idea that changed my capacity that's why you have to pray that God would bring people into your life who have the same capacity that you do because just like an idea can expand your capacity it can also shrink it you start telling people what you think is possible for yourself and they tell you all of the reasons why it's not and all of a sudden you don't believe in yourself the way you want to did because you let an idea change your capacity God give us the strength to recognize when you're giving us capacity and to protect it from the rumors opinions doubts and fears that are outside of us and inside of us because the battle is over your capacity if I can convince you that you cannot do it then you'll never fully tap into your potential which means you'll never be able to expose someone else who needs to see someone who looks like them winning that they can do it to you see you think this moment is all about you but really it's about the people who will be exposed to you so you got to protect your capacity and you have to understand that pint-sized people don't really understand ocean size capacity so stop trying to fix your ocean size dreaming to pint-sized mentalities because some things God gave you are too big for other people to fathom I don't expect you to understand everything I don't need to be by your yes about everything because I recognize my capacity isn't for everyone that's why I'm different that's why my style is a little different that's why my swag is a little bit different because it's not necessarily for pint-sized capacities and and we love pint-sized capacity there's a place for them come on Ben and Jerry's a pint-sized was just enough sometimes ocean size capacity people need pint-sized capacity people to fulfill the vision so there's a place for everything you just got to know when you're connected to people whether you're connected to them because of the capacity that is within you or because you've got something that will help them facilitate the smaller capacity that's down on the inside of them yeah so the disciples are fishing and they have an encounter with Jesus and Jesus tells them I'm going to make you fishers and then instantly their capacity has changed so they dropped their nets and they begin to follow Jesus and they're following him all over and they're watching him do miracle after miracle after miracle and I wondered three years in such a short time we talked about it Jesus ministry was so short but I wonder if it was really that short for the disciples because they received a promise that they would become fishers as men but what they ended up really doing was watching someone else gather the men have you ever been in a position where you had a promise over your life that you thought was going to be manifest but instead you just watched as other people fulfilled what she thought was the destiny on your life but Jesus I thought you said well okay first of all that fish and lows thing was like really awesome kudos on that but like I thought it was going to be my turn three years they waited we can say that Jesus ministry was short three years but when it's time for you to wait three years for you're promising me man it says things start getting a little long all right Jesus all right yes another miracle look at Lazarus walking around everybody thought he was dead Wow glory to the land could you imagine like oh I'm a little bit heady so I probably would have got like fish and bread and then like breaking it trying to see people to see it's the same in those because you promised me something I would be okay if you didn't promise me but you promise me something and I don't see what you promise me being manifest why is it that I'm sitting here watching everyone else win I'm watching everyone else succeed I'm watching everyone else get it right but for some reason the thing you promised me it feels like it's dying on the inside it feels like you said it to me but miss it for the person beside me because every time I turn around I'm celebrating them and going home and wondering what about the promise down on the inside of me what about the business what about the music I was supposed to be the one that sent money home that changed everyone else's life and I barely have enough money to make ends meet I was the one who was supposed to climb the ladder but for some reason I can't even find the stairs what about what about me three years they waited and then I realized that they weren't just in the waiting game that they were in a classroom and if we are not careful we will not recognize that some waiting seasons are not just waiting seasons they are classrooms and the reason why some of us have not it is because we have not been taking notes from the people around us and we're resentful that we haven't been promoted but have you even learned the lessons of the people around you God will place you in ruin an environment where you can learn how other people maneuver the way they maneuver what works what doesn't work what was it about these disciples that for three years they just sat there and watched Jesus as he functioned he said I'm going to make you fishers of men but you don't even understand how to handle people when they come unless I show you so I had to make you wait be patient when you're in these waiting seasons if you were ready for it you would have it and if you don't have it that means there's something that you have to learn it doesn't mean you're not talented it doesn't mean that you're not good enough it doesn't mean that you are inadequate it doesn't mean that it's not coming it just means that there is some finishing up that you still have left you're thinking too small but when we find in the text I'm speaking from x-1 Jesus as I mentioned he's died he's been resurrected and he's about to ascend to heaven but before he goes he's going to release them into the promise that he promised them over three years ago and it says and being assembled together with him he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait don't leave wait he says I'm going to leave you but when I leave you I want you to stay in the same place you met me and so the presence takes you somewhere else I want you to stay I don't want you to be impatient when you don't see me the way you're used to seeing me but I want you to trust that because I met you here once that I'm not going to bring you this far and leave you you just have to start looking for me in a different capacity I may not speak to you in this season the way I was speaking to you last season and don't get frustrated and start taking things into your own hands and start creating your own plan stay right where I have you until the promise comes he says don't leave Jerusalem but wait for the promise of the Father which he said you have heard from me for John truly baptized with water he says we respect and love the way John baptized John baptized unto repentance and baptism as it is today is an outward expression of an inner decision and he said and we honor John for what he did he had baptized with water but what I'm going to do with you I'm going to baptize you with the Holy Spirit not many days from now I'm going to change the way you're used to connecting with me I'm going to change the way you're used to receiving from me I have to get this out because I think it's so important that we don't become dependent on hearing from God in one capacity because we limit how incredible he is when you become super sensitive to the voice of God you can be listening to anything and all of a sudden get a word from it you can see a common on Instagram and saying for some reason that resonated with my spirit when you get in relationship with him not religion you don't make a move until you hear his presence you don't start doing anything until you recognize whether or not the presences and I want to be baptized with the holy spirit I want to be submerged and everything around me submerge with the Holy Spirit and it says therefore when they come together they asked him saying Lord will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel see for some reason the disciples thought that once they got baptized with the Holy Spirit that everything was going to be over after that and if we're really honest so many of us are guilty of the same thing that we think once we receive the promise that it's going to go just as quickly as it came that we're not even going to be able to live in the beauty of the moment because we're so afraid that it's going to escape us before we can really enjoy it you see some say we want success but the reality is when you are successful there is this question in the back of your mind wondering how long can I really sustain this yeah I'm making the ends meet now but how long can I really sustain this you're going to baptize me with the Holy Spirit but I want to know is that when the kingdom is going to come because there's something about being baptized with the Holy Spirit that leaves you vulnerable because you're no longer depending on what's possible for you it's what the Holy Spirit says and when I tell you that God will put you in the most interesting the month I really got you think that much is me that you would allow me the opportunity to influence that you would expand my territory in my platform you think that much of me following the Holy Spirit ought to make you so vulnerable that you cannot move unless he says move because you recognize that it's not you out there but you've led me this far and I will not do it without you I will not move without you I will not produce it without you because I cannot sustain this thing that you've given me and that's why we Tod because we recognize that you didn't just give me this job because I was so good and so worthy and because I did everything the right way so I'm going to give this back to you because I recognize you provided for me once and I need you to do it over and over again even if I lose the job I'm going to ties on what I have left because I recognize that you brought it in and you'll bring something else and that's how committed I am to following the spirit I want to live the kind of life family where I have to depend on Jesus I don't want to be so comfortable and what's within my controlling and doing what I can handle I want to live the kind of life that requires me to get on my knees every single morning and say lord I don't know how I can make it through today without you there are people in the room who know better than I do they speak better than I do they have more knowledge and experience but for some reason you've placed me in this room so glad give me the tongue of the learn help me to understand what they're saying put my heart in the right position that I could be full and sensitive and humble oh god don't let my pride get in the way don't let my ego get in the way don't let that me that I used to be show up in this new season god help me to believe like never before help me to step into that thing into own it I just feel like God is bringing us into a place of confidence about what he's in steel down on the inside of it and that's what's happening in the text are the disciples who had become so dependent on connecting with Jesus in one way was about to realize that they were going to be able to look deep within and pull out something from the reservoir of what they've been exposed to you're going to have to start digging into your roots in this season you cannot be so ashamed of what you've gone through that you missed the lessons that are buried underneath that pain there are lessons buried in that pain that has equipped you for the very thing you say you can't handle right now I wouldn't put this obstacle in front of you if I didn't put the answer key behind you so if you would just look back on at minimum my faithfulness that all things work together for your good even when you didn't think it was working together for your good in the moment look back and how I stood up and stood tall for you look back at how I moved you from this place to that place and there was a job waiting for you when you got there look back at how your family was better and how I healed your mother how I broke cancer out for your father look back at the testimony of your brothers and sisters and this one heard some people who had God has done enough for them that you could shut off of what he's done for them without even tapping into what he's done for you if you would just start looking back over your roots about how he's kept you how you thought your mind was gone and your heart would never be healed but look at you sitting here still surviving look at you still touchable still reachable you're going to have to tap into that effect that I got you I got you in this season you're not in it on your own you're not wrong for dreaming you're not wrong for pursuing I got you and I know you're unsure and I know you're uncertain and I know you don't know what step to take but I promise you I promise you I promise you that thing I promised you years ago is going to be manifest it's not going to be in your timing it's going to be in my timing because I have some lessons for you to learn and when I unleash you [Applause] when I unleash you nothing will be able to stop you he tells the disciples don't leave don't leave until the promise comes because if you leave without the promise you'll run out of fuel if you leave without the promise that the memories will start getting foggy and you won't remember exactly how many fish or how many loaves I had you'll forget how I came through if you leave without the promise of the Holy Spirit you'll forget that I can reach down into your deepest darkest days and I can pull you out that the Sun will come out in the morning you'll forget you'll forget if you leave this place without the promise and some of you have been in a holding pattern because he wanted to fill you up with so much promise and so much history of his faithfulness and so much history of His goodness that when you start playing with the big boys and the big league with the people who look like they're more powerful and stronger than you you'll say I don't care how much money you have I don't care how much influence you have my God got me out of sleeping in somebody's car and brought me all the way to Los Angeles and he made a way out of knowing and yeah I had to sleep on a few couch isms and yet everything didn't go the way I thought but I'm still here and he told me there was strength down on the inside of me when people walked away from me that I thought I could never live with them I found a way to breathe again he let me go through the struggle so I could understand my own strength and maybe you had it easier or maybe you didn't because you're not as as I am and you're not as persuaded that ends I am that he's with me then he'll never leave me and nor forsake me and so I had to go through some things where I felt forsaken so that I could fully understand that he's better to me than anyone has ever been and verse 7 continues and Jesus basically says this is the Ebonics version mind your business that's all in my tradition fresh friends okay and he said to them it is not for you to know times or seasons which the father has put in his own authority he said don't worry about how long you're going to be there don't worry about how long you're going to be able to stay in the room don't worry about whether the relationship is too good to be true and one day will be over it's not on you to understand the times or seasons which the father has put in his own Authority our fathers got things under control and because I called him father it's because I want you to know that it's not just God his father he loves you he loves you and everything that unfolds and time is going to be painted with that love that means you don't have to be afraid of what tomorrow holds because our Father our Father he has it in his authority and this is the part verse 8 that you must leave with she says but you shall receive but you shall receive I want you to say power like you believe something just took ahold of your destiny that no devil inhale can shake up I want you to say power like no weapon formed against you shall prosper I want you to say power like you're not just coding it out of some bible scripture but you're actually crazy enough to believe that that thing that God promised you has power all down working on the inside of you I want you to say power like the Holy Spirit just descended upon you like a dove and that you have that he that began a good work in you so finish that thing through the days of Jesus Christ I want you to say power my generational curses cannot stand against the promise of God I want you to say power like you believe all things are working together for your good I want you to say power like books are being written about what you're going to do in the earth I want you to say power like cities will know your name I want you to say power like the Holy Spirit and come upon you but you shall receive but you shall receive say it like the government has power in the Holy Spirit is working through even when we don't understand it layered like their power over poverty like theirs power over terrorism like theirs power over that thing that talking to you I dare you to start looking at your problem and that I have received and you don't understand who you're messing with you don't understand who I am I have received power our Holy Ghost power you're destroying power yet stronghold pulling down power Giants play in power demon chasing power power power power how I wish you would say power like the precious doesn't have a hold of you like suicidal thoughts can't hold you down power power [Music] [Applause] [Applause] the same power the same power that existed in this text is the same power that's available to you you've just been sleeping on cruise control for so long that you didn't recognize that you could floor it with your Holy Spirit and be pushed into full throttle you've been on cruise control for too cold and God bit me and told me on my very first sermon back that I want you to awaken my sons and daughters to the power that's working down on the inside of them that they don't have to be afraid of anything it is with power that we rebuke anything that comes up against you it is when power that the lame man picks up his bed and began walking it is with power that Lazar has got up from the dead it is with power that movie deals and books and nonprofits and music and healed hearts and homeless people off of the streets and God said my people are walking around like they have forgotten the power that is available to them that I am establishing the kingdom on earth and I cannot do it unless they tap into that power and the reality is that so many of us have been baptized with so many other spirits that we don't even know what it feels like to be baptized with the Holy Spirit any longer but I believe on this night that there is an opportunity to be baptized in the Holy Spirit anew that you can be refreshed like never before and that when he baptizes you in that Holy Spirit that doors are going to start opening that when he baptizes you with that that soul tides are going to be broken that hearts are going to be mended and you like the disciples will be witnesses to me not just in Jerusalem which was their hometown or in all of Judea and Samaria which was around them but to the end of the earth I'm not foolish I know that there are people in this room who were called to touch the world you cannot do it on your own you need power you need the kind of power to stand tall when everyone else is Val your head you need the kind of power that says go at it even when the odds are against you you need power you need power you need power yoke breaking power yeah the kind of power where you can pick yourself up out of the other depression when you start saying oh no I am the righteousness of God oh no my mind must come into submission with what I know to be true oh no these self can't run around in my head that I'm going to fail or that I'm not going to be duped that right now in the name of Jesus and I call my mind into alignment you're going to line up with what God says about me because I have the kind of power to do that I'm not saying there won't be a battle but I'm saying there's a power down on the inside of you that says I don't care who wins what God has for me is for me and I found my lane and I'm sticking into it because in my lane there is no competition in my lane I can floor that gas pedal and be in full throttle that power is what I need and I'm not I'm not moving without that power there are people in this room who have forgotten that power and they didn't even realize that they had forgotten it until they got into this room and they realized man I've been on cruise control I know it's the old-school church but the old-school church believed in that power and I know they didn't do everything right and there are a lot of rules and restrictions but they believe that you could get in the corner and say Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus that there was power in the name of Jesus Jesus Jesus and that children would be saved and that Jesus Jesus Jesus would heal somebody in that Jesus Jesus they knew something about that power and I'm not saying we got to go back to everything they was doing they would sit me in the back to praise the Lord but we cannot lose that power our children need that power this nation needs that power this government needs that power and I wish I had just a few hundred people who had made a new commitment in a church in Hollywood that in spite of what people say about Millennials and in spite of what people say about Los Angeles that there are some people who believe in that power power power that Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus that Jesus just say Jesus if you said Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus anointing that allows for our light to so shine before all men [Music] [Applause] maybe you're in this room and you say I forgot how to access that power but I know I needed you said something and it reminded me of of who I used to be or what I used to believe were or the roots of my grandmother or something that I heard there was something about power that I heard in this room and I needed I needed I want you to meet us at this altar where two or three are gathered in my name there I will be in the mist one can taste one thousand two can chase ten thousand what if we all got on one accord with the power the power of the Holy Spirit working down on the inside of us when you walked up here I saw Shane staying in the seats I saw guilt staying in the seat your shame cannot have more power than your God your guilt cannot have more power than God we baptized that here at this altar we're going to baptize you in the Holy Spirit that you would have a new truth that you would understand in this moment that you are not covered in anything but the blood that you will forget those things that are behind you that you would press towards the mark I believe that when you started walking to this altar that you started walking into power that you started walking into who God has called you to be that you walked away from the past you from the shame for you that you embrace the power of God working down on the inside of you I just happen to believe in and it's just an outward expression of an inner decision when we come to the altar to say I want to I want to walk away from that old mindset to put limits on what I could become that that I had to have this or I had to have that to be flashy when all I needed was the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is for me I want to walk away from that girl who has to have somebody in their life to feel validated I want to walk away from that man who who used to make his claim on how many women I want to walk away from that scene because it had more power over me than the guy working down on the inside of me and I know you've called me to do great things but I cannot do it without your power no I will not do it without your power it's the world offers me and it doesn't have your aroma on it I do not want it because I have a world that everyone life that everyone loves but a heart that is still broken thank you first the kingdom and everything else you need will be added to you and even things you didn't know you need and even things that you didn't think you would deserve it it'll all be added to you but your priorities have been a little misaligned and you thought your power was and what the world said I thought my power was then me viewed it being beautiful I thought my power was in me being young and I and I used that power but for some reason I still ended up more broken each time god I want to have the kind of power that the world can't take away from me I want to have the kind of power that heartbreak can't take away from me that disappointment can't take away from me if you would just fill me with your spirit and your power I know everything else will be okay so we welcome you and we say have your way make room in my heart make room in my heart if there's something in me that's not of you take it out make room in my heart clear it out okay abandonment issues rejection issues failures past mistakes make room in my heart for this power make room in it questions about whether I'm going to make it make room in my heart gotta I need that power to overcome this addiction I need that power make room in my heart purify me O God purify my heart clean my hands I want to be a conduit of your power I want people to have an encounter with me and then wonder what happened to them and I'll know it was your pal were working down on the inside of me I want to break things off of my family and people will be wondering how do we make it and I want to say it was your power one person can change something for their entire family you can be saved enough for your children's children's children's children and it will be because of the power working down on the inside of you I need your power my children needed my grandparents needed I need that power oh god I cannot live without it [Music] [Applause] so we surrendered baby they've got a variety no it's Hollywood Reporter does articles every year and they they do the top power brokers in various segments segments power agents and they say the most powerful people in Hollywood and what they mean is those who have the most influence and those who in their estimation call the shots but the word says at the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead just think about that for something the same spirit the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you the same not a different power the same that raised from death raised from the dead raised from the dead death had no power over it dwells in you this is an incredible word I believe that God is stirring something up that's on the inside of you and and you've got that power we're going to pray into it but you've got that power the kingdom of God has them put that up there for the kingdom of God is not in word although there are a lot of words church and in your life it's not in for the king of God is not in word it's empowered the sign of the kingdom having touch you is power acts 1 and 8 and you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you so power is your inheritance are you tracking with it it's not like an add on an added bonus it literally is your inherent sin god you're an inheritance in the Lord so how do you get the power you got to believe first of all the basics the fundamental basics are believing in Jesus believing in the Lord and I also think that power necessitates your understanding that God wants you to be filled with him now we can't be filled with God and fill with other stuff and so I believe that that repentance is a big part of it I believe coming to God and saying God you know what I've been full of a whole bunch of other stuff I've been full of this i've been full of that i've been full anger i've been full of bitterness i've been full of lust i've been full of stuff and so so see on the day that Jesus approached them and he said you shall receive power soon they went into the upper room and they got on one Accord it didn't happen overnight it took ten days and I believe in that ten days it was ten days of getting their hearts right getting their minds right getting themselves together so that there was a container that had the capacity to receive this outpouring of the Spirit which ultimately set them ablaze their life changed forever and the lives of everybody around them changed forever so I believe there's a preparation to the baptism of the Spirit I believe it's about repentance and repentance is simply God I'm hungry for you empty me oh I feel the Lord right there I can't be full of you and full of other stuff I've got a 2 and I desire your spirit so much that tonight I'm willing to let go of everything that I'm loving on that's keeping me from being full of you are you ready I wish I had time to tell you a story before we pray because I really want you to get it but I want you to get it via understanding and I want you to get the fullness of it I remember I was struggling when I was a younger man with promiscuity okay it was like that one thing someone you heard this testimony something you have it but it was like that one thing man I had all the other stuff kind of worked out in place but that this promiscuity thing had me and watch this it had power over me it is possible that there are things right now that have power over you God's going to fix it because it's a greater power out there you you didn't know that because you were so overcome and overwhelmed by its power over you that you didn't know there was a greater power the same power that raised Jesus from the dead a power that pumped death popped death and so that was me the sting had power over me I was like a puppet it called and I came I feel the spirit I don't know this world he called and I came even though like Paul said in Romans seven that that I want to do I don't do that that I'm trying not to do I continue to do and that's what I want to do I can't ever do why because this thing had power over me if you hear and you should be at the altar because I'm driving right down your street come on just come forward because then something's about to happen just just make your way forward you're watching via live stream this is for you and so so I would want to do what's right now would say god I'm really really trying to get my walk with you together I'm serious about this thing god I'm not like I really really really want to walk with you I really really really want to serve you I really do like for real I ain't playing like 100 god I want it but this thing has power over me so much so that that that I want to do I can't do because I don't have the power to do it such was the position the posture that I was in is in 2000 beginning 2000 I cried out to God and I came to this place family where I begin to hate what had power over me see until you hate what's keeping you from fullness you'll never get free that's why I'm taking a minute here you can say god I want your power all day long but if you're not willing to denounce that thing that has power over you ain't gonna happen because God will not violate your will he is a perfect gentleman he will not tie you down and rape you of your will he won't do that he just was you with his love he says I love you I got plans for you I got you I don't care where you been how crazy has been how dark has been I got you if you would trust me if you were surrendered to me if you will lay it all down if you will cry out to me then I will come through for you and that was me and so check this out at first like I wanted power but then I wanted that there was his conflict going on the side of him I know I'm talking about there was this conflict going on inside of me yeah god I want your power but even when I was praying for power there was a part of me that was still thinking about the joys the pleasures of what I said I wanted him to give me the power to break off of me I think in those 10 days in the upper room they had to work out some stuff they had to come to a place they had to be in isolation so that they can really begin to deal with themselves and in the presence of God allow God to show you what is actually in your heart oh I feel the Lord because the heart is deceitful the Bible says that the heart is desperate deceitful above all it's desperate and then it says who can know it it's difficult for you and I to know our hearts and the beautiful thing about the presence of God and surrendering and opening up to God is it begins to reveal the things in your heart because sometimes the reason why we don't have power in our lives is because there are things in our heart that are contrary to the desire for the power can't talk to you like this for real because we don't get some power tonight for real it's going to be some real like I'm leaving out of here different tonight for real we're not going to shout and go home without a process I love you too much not to give you the process and so I came to a place where on the one side of me I was saying God I want your power to break this off the other side of me is saying oh but I like it hello no hello that's being real with yourself that's being real with yourself the truth shall set you free so you got to tell the truth there's a difference between what is right and what is true what is right is where I'm headed what is true is where I am you tracking with me and that's what you've got to work with you got to you got to work with that and so in the presence of God I had to acknowledge that I actually loved what I was asking God to take and that was a problem because I had another lover I love God on the one hand but I love my sin almost equally because I spent just as much time with my sin as I did with my god and I came to a place where I realized that I wasn't going to have it both ways are you tracking with me God said you shall have no other God before me and that other thing was like a god to me if it can make me cheat on God anybody I've been there before can I talk to some real people in here tonight and so so what happened what happened was I finally got to a place through through waking up after this false God violated me seduced me in and then when it was over left me feeling like man I got a crawl back to God can like god I just me and you man we were getting to know each other better and I'm I'm loving on you and I and your blessing me and and God I want to be true to you but every time this false lover calls I go a running and when I run towards it I'm running away from you every man is - I don't know why I'm taking the time to do this somebody needs this the Bible says that every man is tempted when he is drawn away drawn away drawn away of his own lust and enticed what is he drawn away from he's drawn away from God so temptation it's not that it's drawing you to it that's not the greatest difficulty or challenge with temptation it's not what it's drawing you to it's what it is drawing you away from you trackin with me don't don't look at where you're going look at what you're leaving it draws you away from your destiny it draws you away from the promises of God and most of all it draws you away from the power hallelujah and so I was in this thing and I was you know and I be drawn away and even though I was drawn away because it was my rhythm it was my rhythm it had been my rhythm for so long and so it was natural for me to sin in that way God is going to change your rhythm I feel the spirit of the Living God Allah through some other prophetic God is going to change your rhythm it's in your rhythm that's why you look up and you're like dang I like it here because it's in your programming you didn't even decide it it decided the rhythm decided for you and you were there if I'm talking to you come on down here just come come come and keep talking it took things I said yeah yeah just yeah so your rhythm so God had to break the rhythm and so what happened was the more I press in the God I'm so proud of you and I'm so proud of you watching because because you're pressing in the God here that there's a rhythm that needs to be worked out but you're pressing in to God and so the more I pressed into God the more I began to experience a different rhythm and the more that I was desiring God the more that I began to God was he was as his spirit was coming upon me and as he was talking to me a new rhythm began to emerge and over time what was normal started to become awkward hallelujah and I prophesied that over you right now what was once normal is going to begin to become awkward there's a shift taking place you're being transformed by the renewing of your mind that's why I'm talking to you because your mind is being renewed by these words let me show you how to win and when the presence of God that you and I continue to press into your pressing into it now the presence of God begin to disrupt they used to say I'm not where I want to be but thank God I'm not what I used to be and so so I don't want you to to not celebrate your progress you being here is progress and you being at this altar is progress you are on the right Road you are winning this is what winning looks like this is the beginning of deliverance this is the beginning of breakthrough this is the beginning of you having a new rhythm and a new walk and it's a walk of power and I see it taking place and so boom I'm back and forth back and forth now all of a sudden doing God and being surrendered to God starts to feel more natural and and and and when I would be tugged here it felt unnatural quicker you tracking with me quicker it used to take me the stumble to wake up but then the rhythm that the different cadence begin to wake me up and I got to a place altum Italy where I hated what I wants loved are you tracking with me and the reason why I hated it is because it was standing in the way of a god that I was falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love with and when I hated it brothers and sisters sons and daughters family and when I hated it sufficiently but sometimes your hate has to get right I feel the Spirit of God I just want sometimes your hatred for it has to get right well you have to say you know what devil I am tired of dancing with you on tire of playing with you you are not for me and since you're not for me I'm not for you I'm against you and that's what happened I said I'm done with you and when I did that and I prayed and I asked God to give me the strength and I meant it and every part of my body meant it the Spirit of God fell and I'll never forget this image that I saw and the image literally in it this in a moment and you know what I was praying with somebody it is really important for you to pray we're gonna pray for you tonight but it is really important for you as my wife said while she was preaching today to hook up with someone who has capacity perhaps even the capacity to trying to get to because I was praying with his brother and he started praying in the spirit he start praying in tongues and we'll talk all about that know something you know something you don't know but we'll get to it trust me and he start praying in the spirit and I had agreed with him that I was going to be free and this image I saw this image and this image was was was the head of an alligator underneath my right foot and I just put my foot down and it crushed it like an egg the head of an alligator now fast forward I'm thinking about the serpent so this basically was a huge serpent and the promise all the way in Genesis 3 is that we are going to well thread on service and loop but back in Genesis it says when the Messiah comes he is going to crush his head his heels going to get bruised but he's going to crush his head oh I still there for somebody if you can do it without stepping on somebody's toes just the power of God is here you're hearing this word because it's about to happen to you on that day when the Spirit of God fell these men who were one way became a completely different way and the church was birthed and 3,000 people got saved and filled with the Spirit of God I feel like something crazy is about to happen in this room right now something that's bigger than me something that's bigger than you but something that you have position yourself for and align just so for and so what I want you to do is I want you to take a moment and I want you to have a moment just you it's not you and your neighbor it's just you and I want you to think about something that has power over you or something that has power in your life it could be bitterness it could be unforgiveness it could be some sort of lust or some sort of addiction but I want you to just begin to deal with it just just begin to deal with it come on it's your moment then we're going to come back and pray just close your eyes think about that thing and just begin to hate it just begin to see it as something that is standing in the way of the destiny and the promises that you have for you and just begin to bind it come on just begin to bind it come on come on bring it front and center tell the truth you and God have a moment [Music] come on have a moment you pray in tongues pray in tongues we don't have to be weird we just understand what it is we're praying in the spirit was speaking

heavenly language let it feel this room right now let it fill this room right now let it fill this room right now got game to set you free and to give you power to set you free and to give you power

power is your portion he didn't promise to give you this and that this and that he said listen I'm gonna give you something and everything that you need is in it power to be who you are he told Joshua we're done he said be strong and courageous he says don't turn for me from the right to the left watches he said no man will be able to stand before you all of your days that's power jesus told His disciples I'm giving you authority the tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy power to produce the promised power to birth what he spoke as a passage in Isaiah where the Lord says so I bring you to the time of birth and that cause delivery shall I get you pregnant and not give you the power to produce and can anything stop can any force or power stop what I've anointed you to birth before and so Hollywood Reporter says these people are the most powerful people in Hollywood and I beg to differ I feel like I'm looking at the most powerful people in Hollywood and this spiritual power will work in natural situations Carlos this spiritual power work pray you pray it up never underestimate the value of walking into a meeting prayed up you don't have to go in that meeting and be speaking in tongues well I can't do all that right unless that's how the spirit moves you but he probably won't if they don't understand that that would be stupidity but in your car go in there Rashi my toe broke up you follow one thing never underestimate the power to say I would then we got stopped the favor you'd be full of the spirit and watch this Jesus at favor so when you're full of the spirit and it is the spirit of Jesus you people will just give you favor and they don't know why but there's something define about you that they have to mess with and so we try to curate favor you don't curate favor you become full and filled with favor stuff is going to happen and I see some of you praying powerfully see when you feel with the spirit your prayers get larger you're not praying those little cooperate God give me the job you're saying God I thank you for the company I thank you for those three companies over there capacity it works psalm 2 and 8 god said ask of me and i'll give you the nation's you have to be full the spirit to ask God for the nation's in other words there's certain things that you don't have because prior to tonight you didn't have the capacity to ask for it I want you to ask for some crazy stuff woo because you've got the power to do it father I thank you we thank you for this moment that you've brought us into Jesus Lord through this powerful worth of this incredible vessel you have introduced us and you have brought us to the door of new power hallelujah and we will no longer be slaves we will no longer feel defeated we will no longer feel overwhelmed and overcome but we will know that greater is you are you who are in us then he that is in the world we receive your power and we will never let it slip away teach us how to pray teach us how to study teach us how to commune with you in such a way but that great power will only increase that we might do great exploits in the earth we love you we bless you seal this in the hearts the minds of all [Music]
