this family reunion that we're having right now you don't even know it but you got a cousin watching from africa you got a best friend watching from massachusetts we are family and one online is so excited that we get to do life with you it is such an honor and a privilege to walk this thing out with you i don't know about you but i am still so full off of pt series conversations with god and self and others that it's hard for me to even stand in this moment because i just feel like if we replay those messages you're going to hear something you haven't heard before and get completely blessed yet it is my responsibility and mandate to show up in this moment with the word that god has given me i know that it's just going to add to what pt is already building aren't you so grateful that we have an incredible shepherd in pt that he's constantly feeding us and going before the feet of jesus to see what he can bring back to us and he is laid out an incredible feast over the last few weeks so this is just dessert i just have a little creme brulee okay bread pudding what is it i'm doing 75 horses just sugar and you could literally give me just a cup of sugar and it would be dessert uh okay i'm going to be in judges judges 6. i was studying about deborah incidentally and then just continued reading and stumbled upon the story of gideon i loved this story so much and in the process of studying it i really felt like god was awakening something in my spirit gideon this is an incredible story of a man who was minding his own business come on mind your business ministries he's minding his own business when god speaks a word and a declaration and sends him signs and responsibilities that honestly seem beyond him he's like of the least tribes he's really just trying to survive from day to day and stay out of the way doesn't want to cause any trouble just wants to find a way to live his system and to get in his routine and god calls him out of his routine that is actually the name of this message get out of your routine get out of your routine that's already hitting somebody in this spirit i know it is because you're trying to figure out how do i break this routine how do i get out of this pattern this pattern of self-doubt this pattern of showing up in my life but not feeling passion i've been in my own way breaking out of my routine and when i tell you there is life-changing power on the other side of your routine there's breakthrough on the other side of your routine i want somebody to go ahead and allow that word to hit them in their spirit that god has heard your prayers god hears what you've been thinking about god hears how your spirit has been unsettled you've been anxious for more you've been waiting for more and god says i'm about to pull you out of your routine anxiety is not your routine depression is not your routine frustration is not your routine heartbreak is not your routine i hear god saying that it is time for you to get out of your routine it's time for you to come out of that cave that you have been in and to show up there's fresh oil for every day there's fresh power for every day there's creativity still a sign to your name i hear god saying it's not going to be what i did for other people that i've got a new thing that i want to do just for you and because it is a new thing i need you to be willing to break out of the old so that you can step into the new i hear someone saying i hear someone thinking to themselves but the new is all the old is all that i've known the old is what makes me comfortable but i hear god saying that when you step into this new thing you can't grieve the old thing at the same time because this new thing is going to require everything that i place down on the inside of you to come out of you i feel like prophesying already but i feel like god is pulling someone out of a cave that god is pulling someone out of a darkness and that place that you call darkness it used to be home but now it is a cave and i hear god saying that it's time for you to come out of it it is okay for you to grow it is okay for you to change it's okay for you to not need the same things that once fed you and you have to give yourself permission to get out of your routine permission granted holy spirit have your way permission granted somebody's watching and they're going to step out on faith permission granted god i'm giving you permission to pull me out of my routine i want someone to type that in the comments permission granted permission granted but be careful when you say it because when you give god permission he's not just going to stand by idly when you give god permission he's going to start disrupting your life permission granted god you can break the stronghold permission granted god you can help me come out of this relationship permission granted i want out of this routine i went out of this addiction permission granted permission granted holy spirit have your way have your way have your way [Music] and in judges six [Music] gideon gideon gives the angel of the lord permission to proceed with the mission that god has sent him on the mission that gideon has been created for genesis 6 22 and it says now gideon perceived that he was the angel of the lord so gideon has an encounter with the angel of the lord the angel of the lord shows up he performs a sign in wonder for gideon and gideon's like all right now that i've seen that this is actually the lord i have perceived that this is you so gideon says alas o lord god for i have seen the angel of the lord face to face then the lord said to him peace be with you do not fear you shall not die so gideon built an altar there to the lord and called it the lord is peace to this day it is still in orpha of the abusorites now it came to pass the same night that the lord said to him take your father's young bull the second bull of seven years old and tear down the altar of bell that your father has and cut down the wooden image that is beside it and build an altar to the lord your god on top of this rock in the proper arrangement and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down so gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the lord said to him but because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day he did it by night get out of your routine spirit of the living god there is nothing routine about you yes you are the same yesterday today and forevermore but you do new things you do new things on the inside of us you create new vision you create new strategy god there is nothing stale or routine about you god you continue to mesmerize us with your exceedingly and abundantly way of being and so god we are praying that this would not just be a routine sunday that this would not just be a routine message that this would not just be something we put on in the background to check off the mark that we listen to a word from god but that this would be a life changing a spirit transforming a soul-stirring message that pulls us out of the routine of our history and propels us into the destiny that you have for us spirit of the living god fall as only you can and ask for me god i pray too that you would pull me out of my routine that i would not need for this message to go the way that i see it in my head but that this would be a message that has been signed by god and by god alone so have your way great god that you are we receive this word we receive your love we receive the truth that you have for us in jesus name and pray amen amen you got to say a man in commons i don't know one of the things i've learned in the pandemic like you guys say amen two times i don't know i didn't even realize it but i just you got it if i don't know we'll talk about it later that's next week's message you know when i first met pt actually if i could do it all over again you know i did push up on him i did tell pt i was like you know like what's up pt take me out to dinner um but like if i had to do it all over again i think i would change the way that we had that moment if you haven't heard the story it's a long story i don't have time to get into it but he was talking to me all during church and i knew he wanted to feed me by the way he kept talking to me during church and so eventually i was like listen i'm coming to la you can take me to dinner if i had to do it all over again though were almost eight years into marriage i think that i would have said to him instead you look like the kind of person i could lose myself in to be clear that is not lose myself for or lose myself too but you seem like the type of person i could lose myself in in you and i and together we could become one because when you are with someone worth losing yourself in what you receive in return is more beautiful than what you've lost and that is why becoming one is something so powerful of course i could not have said that then because i did not know what i know now when we first got married i was on my i-n-d-e-p i was independent i was on my independent vibe so strong so heavy okay and i was so afraid as a single mother who would fought to be in a position where she could take care of her children that i would lose myself to him and because i was afraid of losing myself to him i couldn't really receive myself you see because when we are in relationship with people it's not just so that we can show up for them and it's not just so that they can fit within our little picture when we are in relationship with someone there is a there is an expectation in the reality that you are going to lose parts of yourself when you have a baby you can't say i'm still going to be up all night and doing what i want to do when the baby is just going to find a way to fit into my life no you lose a part of yourself but what you gain in return is worth what you lose along the way and i know that we live in a generation that makes you feel like you have to hold on to yourself at any given cost but i'm telling you there is no way that you can be successful in relationship unless you are willing to lose a bit of yourself now this is how we qualify that losing we qualify that losing by making sure that i'm not giving up a piece of myself in exchange for something that is not worthy of what i'm giving up it is an equal trade it is a transfer and that transfer is equal yes i lost this part of my independence but what i gained in partnership through your perspective is worth what i lost from being an independent woman that idea though is why so many relationships end up suffering because people are always living with the fear of losing themselves the fear at the end of me i know that this is going to be the end of me and so i live with this fear that's why when we get into jobs we have these jobs and sometimes we fear when we're working the role that eventually this job is going to come to an end because we don't trust that we can show up in a position that we can show up in a role and that it will sustain us and so we end up self-sabotaging because we're always looking for the end how is this going to fall apart how am i going to lose myself how is this going to disappoint me and that self-sabotage that idea of living with the end in mind keeps us from maximizing our present if you walk into a situation a circumstance an opportunity and all you can focus on is how it could possibly end then you cannot effectively maximize that moment which means that you cannot bring the fullness of who you are into a relationship or an opportunity because all you're doing is looking for the exit you know those people i've been out to dinner with them i'm married to one of them they go to a restaurant they go to somewhere and they can't even look at the menu because they need to look at all of the extra points is anyone else my husband is the head of security and any time we go anywhere he's always looking for the exit because he wants to know what is my exit strategy that's great for when we're in a crowded restaurant but that same strategy doesn't work when you're in a relationship where you're looking for the exit strategy it doesn't work when you're being an entrepreneur because an entrepreneur who looks for the exit strategy cannot establish a business because you're always trying to figure out how can this end not how can i build it and when god is calling you to be a builder the only thing that you can focus on is building you can't think to yourself how am i going to close this thing out and how am i going to build it at the same time you can't raise a newborn thinking about the day they walk out of the house or you're going to miss out on what they need at that stage of their life if you're going to be in this thing you're going to have to be in it all of the way you can't be in ministry thinking about the moment i'm going to step off of the platform if you're going to be in ministry you got to be in it 24 7. if god's going to call you out of it god knows how to get your attention god doesn't need you to look ahead in the future to figure out how he's how you're going to get out of what he's already placed you in if god's placed you in it you got to stand flat-footed in it and show up with the fullness of who you are because that environment is meant to pull out who god has called you you see well that's the thing that we have to understand about environments environments are wounds it is just as much about what you can do as it is about what this environment is producing down on the inside of me and because i nec recognize that it is producing something down on the inside of me i can't look for my way out or i'm going to miss me you're going to miss you're going to miss you if you're only looking for the way out that fear of waiting for the end it's how so many people end up betraying themselves because they're waiting for an opportunity to run out they're waiting for a place to no longer feel safe this is where we find gideon in the text so you got to read the whole story to really recognize this i found it interesting that the moment that gideon recognizes that he's speaking to the angel of the lord that the angel of the lord says to him you're not going to die the angel of the lord gives us insight into what gideon was thinking it gives us insight into how gideon was showing up at that season of his life and that season of his life gideon was so deflated he was so defeated that when he saw the angel of the lord he didn't see backup he saw that this is a sign that i'm going to die this was finally the end that he had been waiting for and now the angel of the lord shows up trying to propel him into something new but because he's still in that same routine of waiting to die the angel of the lord can't even show up in the way that the angel of the lord wants to show up for him i wish that i could say that the way that i feel it but i hear that that's somebody's message i feel like heaven is trying to tell you that you've been waiting for god to show up and god's been showing up but you've been calling it the end that god's been showing up but you've been taking it as a sign that is too good to be true and there's somebody who's been thinking to themselves if something is too good to be true then i don't want to step into it because i don't want to lose it but i hear god saying that if you would trust and believe that i sent it to you then you would step into it without fear and if you step into it without fear then you will see that this thing is not meant to kill you it's meant to awaken you i feel like god wants to wake someone up when we talk about get out of your routine it's going to require that you let go of the thinking that this thing is coming to an end and start experiencing life in a fresh new way with the perspective that this could just be the jump off point i don't know who you are but i feel like god has been trying to tell someone that 2022 is the year of the jump off point this is the year where you break out of that routine for once and for all someone's gotten out of the routine once but you feel yourself slipping back but i came to serve you notice that there is no slipping back this time that this time when you break out of your routine that you're never going back to the way that it used to be you're never going back to the way that you used to think and i hear god saying that if you open up your spirit to receive what i want to do in this time that you will no longer be afraid of things coming to an end but instead you will be someone who starts something where are my warriors in this room where are my warriors in this house of god there are some people who are called to wage war if you are not a wage warrior this is not your message but if you know that you are someone who has been sent to wage war i want you to take a minute and let me know i'm talking to the right person because if you've been called to wage war then you cannot afford to be defeated at the same time and god had to wake gideon back up again who are you i hear god saying it's time for you to get on fire again it's time for you to get passionate again because you were meant to wage war your existence was meant to wage war on hell to wage war on generational curses to wage war on the industry to wage war on homelessness to wage war on the criminal justice system you were meant to wage war and if you sit back and get in a routine then your enemy is going to know how to attack you but i need someone who is so unpredictable so spontaneous that god could be using me this way one day and using me another way the next day because i'm not going to get in a routine when god has called me to blaze a trail i'm here to wage war with everything that's waging war in my world if it's happening in my generation if it's happening in my family then it's on me to wage war back and so me to wage war back and god's got to wake kitty and up god's got to wake you up that this is not just an idea this is war man i wish i could see you you're on the other side and you're watching this right now and i feel like the enemy is playing the biggest trick on your mind by making you think that it's little and it's small and it's inconsequential and i hear god saying that it's war that war starts as a seed war starts as a whisper war starts as a whispering down in your spirit that you can overcome and topple what's got dominion in your life right now but you can't do it and stay in your routine so when god gets ready to wage war and i feel this for somebody i feel this for my country i feel this for my women i feel this for men i feel this for families i feel this for the criminal justice system man i feel like god is trying to wage war i feel like god is trying to wake up the people of heaven he's trying to wake up the citizens of the kingdom i'm trying to wake you up so that you show up purposefully and you show up with intentionality and you show up with laser focus on who i've called you to be i hear god saying it is time for laser focus it's time for you to start speaking up it's time for you to stop backing down i want to eliminate the distractions that are happening in your life those distractions they don't look like they're not coming up against your war but i hear god saying they're taking momentum away from your fight you're worried about the wrong thing who cares what they said about you who cares what they think about you who cares whether you've got the education who cares whether or not you've got the finance i hear god saying you got the weapon and you know what the weapon is the weapon is the encounter that you had with me when you have an encounter with god the encounter can't stay with you it ought to start overflowing it ought to start shaking up your friendships it ought to start shaking up your relationships because i had an encounter we don't have encounters with god so the encounter can stay in us we have encounters with god so the encounter can propel us so that we can show up with strength so we can say i actually can beat this thing i can't wage war on addiction i can't wage war on the criminal justice system i can do what my mother never did how can i do it what did i have that she didn't have i had an encounter i can't wage war on this generational curse how can i do it i didn't have what they had but you had an encounter and when you have an encounter an encounter makes all the difference gideon has one encounter and in one encounter he recognizes that the thing that he was lacking was peace because what happens when we're living in a war zone and god knows anybody alive in this time in day and age sees that we're living in a war zone living in crossfire can we talk about the trauma of waking up and not knowing which blow you're going to get today can we talk about the fear of waking up not knowing how i'm even going to make it to the end of the month the end of the week god i don't know how i'm going to make it to the end of the day and when you get so used to that you have a tormented spirit when we think of tormented spirits sometimes we think that it changes the way we go to work and it changes the way we engage but you can have a tormented spirit and still show up and be strong for everyone else you can have a tormented spirit and still be the support system that everyone else needs you can be a stellar employee with a tormented spirit a tormented spirit means that your spirit has lost peace somewhere that fear has invaded the way that you live the way that you think the way that you see yourself in the way that you see the world you know how to pretend but if you stopped pretending for just a moment you would come to a place where you were honest enough to feel that i'm a little tormented inside i'm tormented by the fear of loss tormented by the fear of abandonment tormented by the fear of failure and so this routine that i hate that i want to break out of it also keeps me comfortable because when i live within this space i don't have to confront those fears but gideon has an encounter that brings him to a place of peace that's all i want for you is for you to have the kind of encounter that brings you to a place of peace if you have an encounter with a good message and you go back to being tormented you need to play that message over and over again because that word is coming after that tormented spirit when gideon has this encounter his response lets me know that peace has changed him because he builds an altar as a memorial to the place where he experienced peace a lot of times we have these moments of peace but they are so fleeting that we don't build altars pt preached an incredible message about remembering the altars that we've built along the way when god sends you a message whether it's a message from a friend or a message a sermon like this or something that you just scroll upon on social media or a song or a word that just brings your spirit peace you got to build an altar there because your spirit needs to come to a place of peace when i was studying for this message i almost called it war and peace because in order for gideon to be qualified for the war that god wanted him to start outside of him he had to first come to a place of peace inside of him you see so many of us want to know our purpose we want to know what is our destiny why was i created i want to know what god meant when he formed me in my mother's womb and yet before god fully releases gideon into his purpose into his reason for existence he first has to bring him to a place of peace if you're searching for purpose i want you to search from a place of peace purpose is not for the desperate purpose is not for the hungry purpose is not for the thirsty purpose is for the people who have found a place of peace because when you finally get into what god has called you to do when you finally get to a position where god says now i can use you you have to recognize that the war is going to come at you so strongly that if you don't have peace to pull from then that war could knock you off of your square there's somebody who was on purpose you're watching this right now you were in purpose but you're no longer in purpose you got knocked off your square i hear god saying that you want to go back to the place of peace what was happening in your life when you were at a place of peace who were your friends what were your habits what were your routines because sometimes when we find ourselves functioning without functioning in purpose without peace will feel like we're running on fumes we'll feel like we're running on empty we'll feel like this purpose isn't powerful anymore we'll feel like this purpose isn't meaningful anymore we will lose sight and vision and focus on why we started doing it in the first place it is from the place of peace that god gives gideon vision god gives gideon vision from the place of peace not desperation if you're desperate i can't give you vision because you'll manipulate the vision for your own malnutrition i can't give you vision if i give you strength right now in a time where you're trying to manipulate other people then you'll end up abusing them i can't give you strength right now i can only give vision for those who are in a place of peace i can only give you vision when you're not seeking validation i can only give you vision when you're not trying to prove something to those people who slept on you you got to be postured in such a way that you have such peace in who you are yes i may know you may know who i used to be you may know how i used to act but you don't know who i am now because god's given me peace you may know the way that i used to think you may know the way that i used to sing you may know the way that i used to create but you don't know who i am now you have to give people an opportunity to be introduced to the new version of who you are this version of me has peace i don't have time to be petty this version of me doesn't gossip i don't have time to be petty this version of me doesn't care what other people think because i finally came to a place of peace peace is a weapon do you hear what i'm trying to tell you i'm trying to tell you that your peace is a weapon it doesn't look like it could be a weapon because it's silent it doesn't look like it could be a weapon because it is not loud but it is the most powerful weapon that you can have in a world that is distracted i got peace this joy that i have the world didn't give it so the world can't take it away i got peace that's why i can keep dealing with these people and then walk out of them and not smell like what they put me through because i'm dealing with from a posture of peace i'm showing up from a place of peace i'm creating from a place of peace i'm not looking for an award i got peace i'm not looking for an applause i got peace i'm not looking for the views i got peace where is my peace my peace isn't knowing that the lord is with me my peace is in knowing that i'm living in the presence my peace isn't knowing that i've been obedient to who god has called me to be everyone else can look for money i'm looking for peace everyone else can look for friends i'm looking for peace everyone else can start looking at who's got what and how they got there i'm looking for peace god give me my peace god give them their peace god give me the thing that's going to settle my spirit and don't allow me to copy cat off of someone else's peace do you know who your god is god says what gave them peace may not give you peace but i got peace with your name on it i got joy with your name on it i got purpose with your name on it do you trust who i am says god if you trust who i am you'll stop looking at them and start looking at me god show me how i can have peace in this storm going through a divorce but i can still have peace children acting crazy but i can still have peace unsure of what the future holds but i can still have peace the peace that surpasses all understanding comes not when everything is the way it is supposed to be it's coming in the middle of the storm fighting cancer but i still got peace don't know how i'm gonna make it next month but i still got peace how could you have peace they say because the lord is with me and greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world he is my peace he is my shalom he is my provider he is my healer he is my defender he is my waymaker and if i disconnect from god then i'll be desperate in a world with other desperate people but if i stay connected with god i'll have vision i'll have strategy i have creativity i have everything that i need [Music] i have everything that i need if i have peace peace is my weapon jesus i feel you so strong in this room the prince of peace wants to have a visit with you man this isn't in my notes but i hear god saying i want to give you peace that you couldn't access when you were tormented [Music] peace that you couldn't access when you were in your past when you were in your shame the peace that god has for you is not just the peace that you experience for now but i hear god saying that i can retro date your peace that i can bring you healing for a stage of life you're not even in anymore you don't have to disconnect this stage of your life can have peace because the last few years had none at all i hear god saying my peace is so powerful it can reach back and still give you peace about the things that didn't go the way you wanted them to go peace is everything the presence of god can meet you right where you are and provide you with peace when gideon gets peace and i studied this story i saw that god gave gideon what he needed so that he could be who god needed god doesn't just tell gideon i want you to do this and then puts him in a position to do it god first works in gideon before he works through him [Music] god wants to give you peace first before position peace before position peace in your singleness before your position peace in this tax bracket before position the kind of piece that says god if you don't do anything else at all you've already done enough that kind of peace [Music] because when you come to that place of peace you can see clearly who you're supposed to be in god once god gives gideon peace he then tells him this is what i want you to do he gives them instruction from the place of peace and with that instruction he tells him i want you to introduce new power into your environment peace and then power if you have peace before power you won't abuse power if you have peace before power then you'll use the power for god's glory and not your own so he settles him in peace because it's time to introduce new power that is the totality of what i pray this message is about for someone that it would awaken first the pursuit of peace and for those of you who have discovered peace that it would then propel you into that next stage and that is into power because there are things in gideon's world and things in your world that have been god for long enough and god says now that i have given you peace with who i am and who you are i want you to introduce new power i don't know who you are and where god has positioned you in this season of your life but i want to make it emphatically clear that if you continue to introduce the same old power in this old system then you are not releasing everything that god has called you to be that god is not calling you into the new he's not calling you into the uncertain so that you can release what has already been seen but i want you to take what they have been using but i want you to allow god to show you how to put it together man all of the pieces are there for what god wants to do but the person is not there who can build what god wants to build all of the pieces are there for what god wants to do in your life and through your life the finances are there the connections are there the education is there the relationships are there it's already there but the person who knows how to hear god's voice to bring it all together they're not there yet but i hear god saying it's you and god says if you're going to submit to this and surrender to this call you can't be afraid to touch the old things and make them a new thing god doesn't send gideon out to grab old new things he doesn't say cut down the tree he says take the wood they're already using take the bull that's already there it's already there everything you need is already there but you gotta see it the right way you got to see it from the place of peace from the place of confidence from the place of certainty so they got their routine things but a new you and hear god saying you're not going to just come out of your routine but you're going to change the routine of everything connected around you too this is how change happens this is how transformation takes place my favorite part of description and then i'm going to close it's gideon he's got peace he's got position and he's got power but he's still got fear i think that's important for us to know because a lot of times we think if we have all of those things and we won't have fear either but the last scripture in my text tells me that gideon was obedient he took the men from among his servants and did as the lord said to him but because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day he did it by night this stands to reason to me that sometimes you gotta get out of your routine in the night sometimes it doesn't happen where everyone can see it sometimes it doesn't happen where it's on display but just because you aren't ready to release it to the world doesn't mean that you can't start practicing within your own night i want to pray with you because as i was reading this message and studying this scripture i kept hearing so strongly that god is looking for warriors god is looking for people who are going to be serious about the call that is on their life to the point of sacrificing the way that they've always done things i've always lived in this city i've always gone to this place i've always created this way what if i told you and this was with all compassion that god doesn't care about the way that you've always done things this is an opportunity for god to show you a new way of being which means you're going to need a new way of doing and i was studying i saw that point about gideon being afraid to do it by day but he was going to do it anyway i felt like god was going to call some people out of their routine in this message and that he wanted me to highlight this point because there are some people who will not get out of their routine because they're thinking ahead about how it's going to affect their whole life but i felt like god wanted me to highlight this so that he could allow you to see the baby steps that he provides on the way to destiny i know we love the big leaps of faith i know when we like to leave everyone and tell them listen gone i'm bi i'm doing something different you ain't never seen this before but there are some of us who change little by little baby step by baby step baby steps are still ordered steps baby steps are still progression baby steps are still transformation gideon's going to do exactly what god told him to do and he's going to stretch himself to do it and he's still going to find a way to do it even if that means that he can't do it in the way that would seem most obvious you're watching this message and maybe you've got a big shift to make and because you're not ready to make the big shift you haven't moved at all i want you to understand that you can take baby steps into the shift you're not ready to quit the job and start the ministry can you start the ministry can you draft the sermon can you create the email you're not ready to remarry again you just got out of a heartbreak can you allow your heart to be healed you're not ready to forgive yet that pain was so great that grief was so terrible can you just open your heart to the possibility that maybe this bitterness is not serving me any longer i'm not asking you for a big step [Music] i'm asking you to take a chance on a baby step if jesus can point out to us the power of a mustard seed i wonder what that would look like that mustard seed working on behalf of what god wants to do in your life in your circumstance right now that's what it means when says sometimes i have to do it in the night because i'm not afraid to do it when all the lights are on that counts too i want to pray with you i want to pray with someone who's stepping out of their routine you've been listening to this message and you feel the conviction that can only come from the holy spirit a type of conviction that says you can't keep living the way you've been living you can't keep thinking and acting and doing the way that you have been it's time for you to get out of your routine and to try on something new and you may have to try on a few different rhythms until you find what is authentic to what god has for you but the first step is for you to break covenant with what has always been so that you can experience what can be holy spirit [Music] you've pricked our hearts you've pierced us in a way that only your word can do thank you thank you for loving us too much to leave us the same thank you for loving them too much god to allow them to function on autopilot [Music] thank you god that this word is literally your love chasing after them god we turn to you and we admit in your presence that change is scary that disruption can feel terrorizing it makes us feel small it makes us feel inadequate but god we want to lay all of our burdens at your feet all of our truths all of our thoughts our fears we want to lay them at your feet because we will not allow them to be god over us any longer spirit of the living god i exit you would begin to meet each and every person connected to this message and that you would begin to break the tie that binds them to their routine i rebuke it in the name of jesus god i ask that you would break the chains that tie them to their routine i rebuke it in the name of jesus because that chain is chaining them to their paths but god i feel that you're calling them higher god i feel that you're calling them to destiny and so god we receive that call we answer it in the name of jesus and we say god we're ready to come out of our routine we're ready to come out of the way that we've always done things god we surrender our ways for your ways we surrender our plans for your plans we surrender our routine for your vision we surrender our routine for your destiny have your way with our lives god is only you can do we are your servants the only thing we ask is what you've already promised lord be with us in season and out of season lord be with them may your presence rest on their hearts may it rest on their minds may it rest on their being god and may it give them comfort and we thank you god that we don't have to tell you how we feel because we have jesus the ultimate translator who understands our weaknesses our deficiencies and yet sits on your right hand we thank you for jesus someone's here and they don't know him yet not realizing that they're having an encounter with jesus right now we thank you for jesus we thank you god that through jesus we lack nothing through jesus we have peace through jesus we have strength we receive jesus afresh thank you jesus man everything that we do may we do in remembrance of you being reminded that you put sin to death that you put failure to death you put fear to death and yet you were raised up just because we're in you were raised up to free and victorious we receive that promise we receive our wings send us god we'll go even if we have to go in the night we're ready to break out of our routine in jesus name i pray amen
