been changed you don't have the pulse no you just you just hashtag jacked up already if if you've been here all week with all these amazing preachers and speakers and you're still the same something is wrong with you but how many really believe that something's gonna be different next week next year come on because of what you experienced here and you know me I'm ridiculously red bull excited to be back I think peso Pau is what like my fourth time here my fourth or fifth time here and uh so I'm basically family I'm your cousin from Dallas just down the street I'm going your fridge to get somebody without asking you that's the level that we are and I love this house I love this church I love your pastors you will not find people that love people and lead with such humility and grace like pastor Paul and Ashley how many you're thankful that God bless with them y'all could do better than that would you let them know how much we love and appreciate them come on victory y'all are amazing absolutely amazing Taylor and I love you guys so much and I'm gonna keep coming to y'all get sick of me I love this house and I believe God's gonna put an exclamation point on the week tonight and I'm gonna jump straight into this word if that's cool do you have a Bible with you come on if you got a Bible would you wave it in the air like I just do care come on a lot of glowing Bibles thank you for charge it up here pie today would you go with me to the Gospel of Matthew today Matthew 15 come on I want to look at verses 21 through 28 Matthew chapter 15 we'll start at verse number 21 and we'll land at verse number 28 this is a word that I really believe is a prophetic word for our generation for our culture and I hope you really will I know it's the last night but I hope you'll lean in with some expectation to hear from God how many no expectation is everything everything pastor Paul sometimes I'll preach places and they'll be like oh that's the best message you ever preached and I want to look at them ago now that's the best time you ever listened you actually were on your phone in church so how you listen how you lean in has everything to do with how you receive and I'm believed it's gonna bless you Matthew 15 when you're ready to read it say yeah you need some time to father say hold up all right it says leaving that place Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon and a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him crying out Lord son of David have mercy on me my daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly and Jesus did not answer a word so his disciples came to him and urged him send her away for she keeps crying out after us he answered I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel the woman came and knelt before him Lord helped me she said and he replied it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs yes it is Lord she said even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table and jesus said to her woman only Jesus could get away with that by the way I would not suggest that to any other dude to look at a lady and say woman but Jesus he could get away with a woman you have great faith your request is granted and her daughter was healed three months later oh I'm tripping it's a new prescription her daughter was healed two weeks that my her daughter was healed at that moment [Music] oh that much it's almost like what she said in verse 27 activated the miracle in verse 28 at that moment I want to preach tonight not long it's the last night just about six and a half hours just that using using this as a title get over it get over it would you do me a favor look at your neighbor whichever one you like the best get in their face get in their personal space and just say neighbor come on don't be afraid to talk to your neighbor come on say neighbor I got a word for you get over it now look at your other neighbor the one you completely ignore it look at them come on say other neighbor I know this word is for you if you believe God's gonna speak would you give them some praise up in here get over it let's pray father speak to our hearts tonight we are receptive we are ready to hear from you in Jesus name everybody said hey man Victoria I don't want to preach before I preach but uh just watch this real quick just watch this hear me God will often use desperation to push you into your purpose God will offer you desperation to push you into your destiny in fact watch this desperation is the door that breakthrough walks through oh I'm gonna say that again desperation is the door that breakthrough walks through some people wonder how come I ain't got my breakthrough yet sometimes cuz you hadn't got downright desperate enough for God to do it in your life because desperation will open up doors that complacency will keep shut I'm telling ya Volyn people often ask me Robert where's your favorite place to preach your favorite place to preach in to be honest I struggle to name a place because I want to articulate to them that the effectiveness of preaching and ministry has little to do with an address or a destination of a place but everything to do with the attitude and the disposition of the people that are in the place come on I would rather preach in a basement with three desperate people then the preacher in the Bahamas with thousands of bougie setup people who act like they don't need God to do anything in their life but if you give me some desperate people miracles were grateful if you give me desperate people signs and wonders will suck if you give me desperate people the atmosphere will ship and mighty when you're desperate hey that's a good sermon clear - a good sermon clear it's actually a good sermon it's a good sermon at least I thought it was I thought it was until after I preached that message I did what every confident secure and emotionally healthy preacher does after a sermon I went online to view the comments underneath that sermon now in full disclosure 90% of the comments were positive comments like preached that comments like a good word there was even a few fire emoticons under it but but those aren't the comments that I have saved and screenshot it on my phone that I want to read for all of you here today now remember in that clip in that clip that was not the full sermon in that clip I said and I quote I would rather preach in a basement with three people who are desperate for God than to preach in the Bahamas with thousands of stuck-up bougie people who act like they don't need God to do anything in their life that's what I said in that clip that was not the full sermon okay now what I was clearly stating is that as a preacher and a pontificate of the gospel that a meager but eager audience in a basement would be preferred over a large apathetic audience in the Bahamas my juxtaposition of the Bahamas and the basement was solely to compare contrast a magnificent environment with a mundane environment I was in no way shape or form trying to denigrate Bahamian people or basement people I just needed two words they started with the letter B but let me read to you some of the comments from that message comment number one pastor in the message you mentioned the Bahamas stating that it has stuck-up and boozy people how can a pastor say those things about a country have you met everyone in the Bahamas very distasteful of you to make those statements as a Bahamian I am offended and owed an apology next comment sir you have greatly offended a large group of Bahamian with your rude comments about the Bahamas next comment and my favorite the expression on his face when he delivered that line about my people tells me everything I need to know that was flesh coming through not God watch it again and watch his expression closely hash tag apology required urgently next comment wow just wow sad that he used his platform to offend hundreds and thousands of people I was about a hundred more comments where that came from people who started a campaign on Facebook to ban my ministry from ever preaching in the Bahamas I would love to preach in the Bahamas in the Bahamas I'm gonna keep it 100 I will leave y'all right now to go preach me toasting is nice but it ain't the Bahamas I just thought it was funny interesting and to be honest quite sad that some people hear me miss the transformational truth of an entire message not because it could not be comprehended but because they were offended ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters we are now living in the age in the era of offense have you noticed that it seems like everybody everywhere is perpetually and continually offended about everything all the time Oh everybody in our body is offended it is as if victimhood has gone viral and being easily offended is no longer seen as a weakness of your character but is now your constitutional right oh you got a right to be offended or that didn't offend you I'm offended you're not offended to the point that we are no longer living in the USA oh no we are now living in the u.s. oh because everybody is in the united state of offense everybody's if men are offended women are offended the Millennials are offended the baby boomers are offended the Democrats are offended the Republicans are offended the atheists are offended the Saints are offended the New Orleans Saints are still you know he's supposed to be in the Super Bowl the ref cheated it's our whole new football season get vegetarians and vegans are offended oh come on you heard about this there's a group of here me of vegans that are now calling for the removal of meat based metaphors they want a ban on phrases like bring home the bacon and they are rallying for less offensive and more health-conscious phrases like bring home the broccoli animal rights activists have jumped on the same bandwagon backed by PETA they feel that some of our commonly used phrases and idioms are offensive and are actually encouraging animal cruelty phrases like you're beating a dead horse and you can kill two birds with one stone should be removed and replaced with less offensive ones like you're feeding a fed horse and you can feed two birds with one skull people that is a for real and I hear some of you you give you like all those vegans those animal rights activists that's just silly understand is silly to you but it's serious to them so serious there's somebody's animal right activists they were actually arrested they were arrested because they were going to steak houses and they were playing the sound of slaughtered cows on speakers and when the managers of these steak houses said hold on wait a minute y'all can't do this y'all got a move tattoo they refused to leave and got arrested they went to jail over this and this is the variability of offense is that an offense that is silly to me might be serious to you and an offense that is serious to you might be silly to me and I don't care who you are in this room today everybody has some button some offense that if the right person on the wrong day when you forgot to pray hit that button you would find yourself in a jail cell right next to the animal rights activist talk about I am offended operation the Bourget before fortnight operation first game and you had the tweezers and the patient was on the board game and you had to be careful cuz if you hit the wrong spot his nose would light up that's you that's me all of us have offenses if the right person hit it you'll knows when to light up like Rudolph and what do we do in a culture in a society of offense my text today is in Matthew chapter 15 but in Matthew chapter 24 you remember that victory conference when in Oklahoma is on the Mount of Olives and after Jesus session at that victory conference his disciples rolled up on him and they said hey Jesus how can we know the signs of the coming of the age when can we know your return is imminent and Jesus gives them a litany of things he says let no one deceive you many will come in my name saying I am Christ and many will be deceived he said nation will rise up against a nation there will be wars and rumors of wars there won't be birth quakes in diverse places and diseases and pestilences and when you're reading Matthew chapter 24 you can get so caught up in the earthquakes and the diseases that you'll miss verse number 10 where Jesus says oh yeah and many will be offended in other words one of the Blue's Clues for the second coming of Jesus Christ it's a culture of offended people Luke 17 Jesus brings up this issue of offense let's look at Luke 17 verse 1 it says then Jesus said to the disciples so he's talking to disciples any disciples in here tonight okay so we know his audience we're talking to disciples he says it is impossible it is impossible they've got my attention because how can a God who is a waymaker miracle worker who does the impossible how can we say something is impossible what's what's impossible Jesus healing the sick raising the dead the Cowboys going to the Super Bowl again no I'll call that's easy here's what's impossible it's impossible that no offenses should come in other words Jesus guarantees you that offenses are coming your way he said it is inevitable somebody is gonna throw an offense at you he guarantees you he promises you somebody's gonna send you the wrong text message he promises you your spouse is gonna get on your last nerve he promises you that somebody's gonna see you about to turn in that parking spot at Walmart and still try to slide in front of you he guarantees that offenses will come quit being surprised when offenses come your way because it is impossible for no offenses to come but I notice in the text he did not say that it is impossible for you to not get offended because offenses and offended are two separate and distinct things oh you may not shout in this sermon you should have got your shout on this week there's a difference between offense and offended offense is an action offended is a reaction offense says you did it offended says I'll never forgive in offense is an event offended is a decision so the power of the potency of this text is that Jesus is saying offenses of those are inevitable but offended that's optional and if offenses are inevitable but being offended is optional that means it is possible and plausible for you to live your life on offended Jesus says I have a power and a grace that not many believers tap into that you can actually live your life unoffending in a culture where everybody is getting offended about everything so here's the question I've been waiting all week to ask you you ready here's the million dollar quintessential question you ready let me get some water for a dramatic pause so before I even ask it you ready this is the question I've been waiting all week - hold up hold up ready here it is what is your current level of a fin debility I know offend ability is not in a dictionary but you know I'm talking about like how much does it take for you to get offended and the only reason I'm asking you is because I was seeking the Lord from my own life at the beginning of this year he said to me something so clearly she said Robert your current level of offend ability is too high he said Robert I've got big things in store for you massive things in store for you think that your eyes have not seen and your ears have not heard neither has it entered into the heart of men the things I've already prepared for you he said they're big things but you'll never be able to handle the big thing if it keeps taking the smallest thing for you to get offended he said to me that is your level of offend ability that is an indicator of the level of your spiritual maturity so what God will often do is put your miracle on the other side of an offense so that you'll be faced with a decision to stay small where you are or to grow up and get over it and when God said that to me I didn't shout I didn't clap I didn't do the Holy Ghost two-step I got offended I said what you mean my current level of offend ability is too high I don't get offended easily I was so mad I didn't talk to God for like two weeks no for real cuz you do know that Jesus knows how to offend you right oh come on okay nobody offends you like Jesus Jesus knows how to offend you yes Jesus Saves but Jesus offends - he knows how he can't help but offend you it is in Jesus nature to offend you you know why because he is the way he is the oh there it is he is the truth and the light and the truth has a way of offending you oh yes the truth can transform you but sometimes it'll make you mad before it does because you can't handle the truth I'll tell you I submit to you that if Jesus has never offended you you don't have relationship with Jesus at all because he will offend you because he's trying to get you to the truth that he is oh preach Rob and I'm telling you Jesus is like Jesus is like spandex drunk people and toddlers he don't give you the truth whether you like it or not some of you get that tomorrow [Applause] as a matter of fact come on in his relationship is the context of offense every relationship you have runs the risk of offense it's only a relationship you get a fit you don't get offended in isolation even on the mirror timeout I hate what you keep doing to me not all of us at least it's in the context of relationship that offenses occur so all I'm saying to you tonight is that sometimes Jesus is offending you and sometimes people are offending you and sometimes it's both at the same time and that is exactly what it's occurring in my text today in Matthew chapter 15 the Bible says a Canaanite woman approached Jesus just the Bible telling you she is a Canaanite woman is putting tension in the text because you know the Canaanites and the Israelites had years of offense centuries of offense of arguing and bickering do you know how much courage it took this woman to approach Jesus a Canaanite woman approaching a Jewish Jesus with his Jewish homeboys can you feel the tension this is the Bloods and the Crips I mean this is this is the Sooners and the Cowboys that this is this is tension will make a man a woman approach a Jewish Jesus you know how much courage it took for her to even approach Jesus come on have you ever had like some of you know what I'm talking about have you ever had to walk in a room and you knew the people in the room hated you but you had to walk in there anyway because like your check was in there or something you're like whatever this is the atmosphere that this woman is walking into what would make a Canaanite woman approach a Jewish Jesus and his Jewish disciples I'll tell you what it was the devil was messing with her daughter and when the devil starts messing with your child how many you know it will pull stuff out of you that you didn't even know was there come on where all the parents at in the room today when the devil starts messing with your child oh come on your prayer life will go to a whole nother level you'll get a bottle of Crisco oil and start throwing it all over the house worship music and start kicking demons out of your house you put scriptures on a backpack and all on when the devil's messing with your child oh it is a whole nother ballgame I don't notice I did not know this until my wife and I had three little humans I didn't notice I've never experienced this emotion it is one thing for the devil to attack you it is one thing for the devil to attack your business or your Honda Accord it is a whole nother thing when the devil starts messing with your child that's when stuff will come out of you oh come on your child will make you call him to work late and say I'm gonna be late today walking right in the principal's office and said what did this teacher say about my child no no he's creative she can't teach that's the real problem that's going on will make you low kick eighth grade on the playground and go Pete I wish you would bully my kid again come on let's go suck your teeth all you want Judas this is my baby girl I'm tired of being up at night I've gone to every counselor I've done everything I know that too and the devil keeps tormenting my child this is my baby call that this Jesus has the power to heal the sick and the raise the dead heart the demons tremble at the very mention of his name so Jesus if your spell and the demon casted out business this is my baby girl walked right in Lord son of David have mercy on me and Jesus heard her heard a loud and clear as soon as she cried out to Jesus he pulls out his phone Lord son of David have mercy my baby girls being tormented by a demon in Jesus yup think I'm being cute it's in verse 23 he said Jesus did not answer a word Jesus did not say wondering if anybody in here has ever had to deal with the offense of being ignored when you cried out to Jesus about a situation he didn't say yes he didn't say no he didn't say anything Jesus and the offense of being ignored I had to look back like that because this is how offenses occurred you just live in your life preach it and somebody from the back with all black just comes home and drops an offence in front of you you didn't plan for this offense that this is how offense is in fact that's one of the words for a fifth it's a stumbling block if something that's been put in front of you to trip you up and you'd be shocked at the people in this room that are dealing with the offense of being ignored if not ignored by Jesus maybe ignored by other people where you cried out to people and nobody responds you feel like nobody sees you oh the frustration of being ignored is real when I read this text my mind immediately went back to when I was a kid I feel this woman I'm gonna being a kid and I would go to my father my Nigerian father and I remember being like maybe you know sixteen or so and I could see it like it was yesterday my dad at the kitchen table my Nigerian father at the kitchen table reading the paper reading the paper and I'd be like sixteen ask him a simple question like hey Dad I'm 16 obviously I'm grown and there's a party this Friday at a house of people you don't know that's gonna end like at 3:00 a.m. would it be cool if I could go to this party and I remember my father who would hear me ask him the question and he'd be reading the paper and all of a sudden he would just look at me and then he would put the paper down he would just look at to me as if my very breathing annoyed him as if I asked him the most asinine question here never heard in his entire life just look at to me and then go right back to reading the paper but being ignored is for real come I think being ignored is worse than being rejected cuz at least when you reject me I know where we stand you don't like me that's cool thank you next but when you ignore me what you don't say anything you a text message and you don't respond at all and you're one of the crazy ones that has the notification that lets me know you saw my text message because under it it's a [Applause] sense of being ignored and I think this offense is so pervasive in our culture today because we're living in a culture where everybody has this incessant need to be noticed have you noticed that did you see me do you see my post are you following me and when you get ignored and a fence can occur and Jesus said not oh if that was me and I cried out to Jesus about my baby girl and he didn't say a word oh I'm over it I'll see how di no you can't speak now Savior out the world but can't speak to nobody no no you spoke to blind bartimaeus you talked to the woman with the issue of blood but you can't talk to me not as fast you're a jerk I can't wait til I write my blog about you I not this woman she stays she kept asking please Jesus please this is my baby girl please please she can't ask it she kept pressing it I don't know who this is for tonight but somebody needs to hear this you gave up too soon you need to keep pressing after the thing you're believing God for sometimes God want to see will you keep pushing through will you be relentless enough to say God I'm not gonna let you go unless you bless me I'm not gonna give up come on God's not Amazon Prime there's something that you're gonna have to fight for and keep pushing for until you get your breakthrough somebody get some praise you know how crazy you love to keep talking to somebody when they're ignoring you he's ignored she said please please please in didn't get a response from Jesus but got a response from his constituents his disciples they they they they were sick of it cuz they're like okay obviously Felicia is not going to leave don't worry about a Jesus we got you and what you see what the disciple said they say send her away these are disciples talking send her away for she keeps crying out after somebody got it oh hello you missed it the disciples said Jesus here's what we should do send her away send her away she keeps crying out after us we're in the text they say Peter Bartholomew cry out after you see this is for pastors and leaders and people have been around Jesus please don't get it twisted and think that people want you know they want Jesus and think it's about you God wants to use you to be a blessing to somebody help me preach it here today woe unto pastors leaders and believers who have gotten it so twisted you bushi now and got sunglasses on inside cuz you've been walking with Jesus for a while it's sin far away she keeps crying out after us the way oh the disciples are a clear picture of the offense of the institution the church in it funny the disciples the very ones who were rejects themselves the ones who Jesus reached out to they were on the outskirts and Jesus reached out to them and now you're send them away they represent the offense of the institution of the church the disciples are proof positive that sometimes some of the greatest offenses that you will ever incur will not be from Jesus but from the people who bear his name the people who represent him the people who should be reaching out and yet they say send them away you'd be shocked at the people sitting in this room and the people who will never come to a victory conference because they hadn't been able to get over the offense of the person in the church that hurt them Oh what do you do with the offense of church hurt I've even learned when I'm talking to people I want to invite them to church if I get a strong reaction like nah I don't wanna go to that church I have a learned I've learned to read through the hurt and look at the heart and say it's not Jesus they don't want it's more often than not they've had an encounter with somebody who beared his name and said send them away it's the offense of church hurt and maybe you're in here right now and you are still trying to get over the offense of the institution somebody in the church that heard you and cannot please say this to you and I hope you hear it in your heart and in your spirit please never ever project the nature of man onto the character of God never projecting man on to the character of God just because they hurt you that mean Jesus is gonna hurt you just because they betrayed you doesn't mean he's gonna betray you no he's gonna stick by you don't project the nature of man onto the character of God can also say to you there are no perfect churches actually there's one but ain't nobody in it his people are crazy and you crazy too but the disciples represent the offense of the church if this was me if this was both most of us ignored by Jesus heard by the ones who represented him we would have been God not this woman she stayed and because she stayed God spoke oh because she stayed Jesus finally spoke I don't know who this is for but God told me to tell you if you'll stay he's gonna speak if you'll stay planted I don't care how many offenses Kurt don't leave the church stay planted in the house of God he will speak do you might not like what he says look at what he says worship - you can join me look at what he says verse 24 he says this is the first words of Jesus - this woman I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel can I give you the Robin Badu translation of that verse here's what Jesus says to her a girl I ain't here for you I am on assignment I am here first for the lost sheep of Israel your urgency is not my emergency I'm not here for you I have an assignment first to the lost sheep of Israel this is the offense of insignificance also you're saying I don't matter oh you're just here for the lost sheep of Israel you're saying I don't matter you're saying I'm in significant the offensive in significance can I teach just for a little bit here would you come help me so I want you to see something what's your name Sam come on up Sam Sam would you take off your glasses see I want you to see something about offenses see offenses are lenses Vince's are like lenses as soon as an offense occurs in your life it's like a lens comes over your eyes offenses are like lenses so let's say like no I came into victory conference and Sam didn't speak to me that's like oh I knew Sam didn't like me you know how you stop building stuff you're my Sam I knew he didn't like me anyway you believe he didn't speak Victor he's supposed to be a place of love and Sam did even speak to me when I walked in and as soon as it occurs fences are like lenses I see it a certain way he sees it a certain way he's like man I didn't even see you that's I wouldn't try to be rude if I couldn't see you by the way I got a lot on my mind my cat got hurt and my cat's in the hospital he's like I'm Aptus what I was thinking uh so he sees it one way I see it one way but I want you to see this offenses or like lenses and just because I see it a certain way doesn't mean I'm right it's just my prescription my perspective but my vantage point doesn't validate me just cuz I see it a certain way see this is the culture we live here is that as soon as somebody feels offended they think that because you see it that way you're right but news flash just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right that's just your vantage point because if we switch glasses obviously uh Sam is blind said you can't see no wonder you see it your way you worry about your cat now this about you being mean to me you can't see and he's looking at mine gone Robert can't see that's why he's gone over all his time he's you laughs but this is happening in marriages this is happening in the church of relationships and everybody said now I see it this way no you're wrong you long because the fences are like lenses so whenever there Oh whenever an offense occurs I'm offended that you just dropped my glass on the huh whatever an offense car occurs here's what you got to do watch this I just want to be real practical whenever you have an offense because offenses are like lenses which you should immediately do when you feel some type of way first thing you do ready pray don't post pray what am i praying for Robert clarity what would helped me to see this the right way cuz I feel a certain way and I got my lens on but lord help me help me to have clearer just see it the right way better yet bring somebody else in the situation that don't that glasses on and say both of y'all are blind opposed to y'all are messed up here's the problem because offenses are like lenses thank you Sam and I want you to see this from her vantage point it's insignificant but can we put on the lens of Jesus from Jesus vantage points when he says I'm here for the lost sheep of Israel it's not insignificant it's just precedence he's saying the children of Israel take precedence I'm here first for the Jew then the Gentile and just because they take precedence does it mean you're insignificant okay I lost some of you this is the equivalent of you sprain your ankle here at victory conference and hurtin it and you go to the hospital for them to look at your ankle you're concerned that it's broken and as they start looking at your ankle all of a sudden a gunshot victim comes in the hospital and because the gunshot victim comes in they throw you a bag of ice and say just go to the side and they look at the gunshot victim how crazy would you look just at all oh you're just gonna take care of him what about my leg now it's fine take your ice bag see I knew this hospital didn't love people no I'm gonna leave now nobody's saying you insignificant what you saying they take precedence but in a narcissistic individualistic selfie saturated mimimi society anytime you don't take precedence you don't think your insignia and start carrying an offense if that was me in all of these offenses I would have been gone not this woman she stayed as a matter of fact the Bible says she got down on her knees she changed her posture she just started to worship she settled hard please help me Lord please help me come on how many know you are on the edge of your breakthrough when you had every reason to walk away but instead of walking away you got down on your knees and you said God I'm still gonna worship you I don't understand why I have this offense I don't know why this is happening but I'm not gonna let this offense to stop my worship it just stopped my adoration of you because you are worthy of the glory and the praise come on somebody don't walk away you need to turn up the volume of your worship just worship she could have walked away but she worshiped oh and I thought the worship would have got his attention but it did it Jesus comes in for the final blow he says it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs Jesus the compassionate Savior the loving father the good-good father called this woman a dog called her a dog when she's crying out about her daughter this is the offense of being insulted he insulted him he called her butt doll can we be honest have you ever felt like your situation you were facing God was insulting you it's insulting it's insulting that you used to be the one that everybody would call for relationship advice about their marriage and now you're going through a divorce and it's insulting you were the one that taught the Sunday School class and said this is what you do with young people and now your child is on drugs and the situation has you feeling insulted and I know you can't say anything but if you're honest you feel like God this isn't so Jesus called her a dog now if you study this text when you go home one of the first things you'll see is you'll see all these scholars defending Jesus because Jesus is actually picking up on a cultural norm in that society Jewish people would call Gentiles dogs because they were outsiders dogs were outside so Jesus just doing what the culture is doing but Jesus does something different he doesn't use the term that most Jews use which denoted a wild dog Jesus calls her a pet dog and if you step in fix all these stalls a theologian will start like the finishes like wait hold up hold up hold up now hold on now he did call her a dog but it was a pet dog not a wild dog Jesus uses the term pet dog and they're like defending Jesus I'm thinking any way you cut it a dog isn't a wild dog Penta he still called the woman a dog you can't get away from it this is what he said to her and I think that was her breaking point I think this woman like most of us in this room some of us would have already been gone said this is him I came to you you ignored me you didn't say a word your disciples rejected me they tried to send me away you said you're only here for the lost sheep of Israel you made me feel insignificant and to top it all off you call me a dog I'm crying out to you about my daughter and you calling me a dog I said I'm over it I think she was about to walk away maybe somewhere about right here it hit her she got a revelation said wait a minute you call me a pet dog all the other Jews say wild dog you call me pet dog and there is a difference between a wild dog and a pet dog so you see a pet dog can find shelter when it's raining in shelter when it's cold and when it's a hundred and sixty-five degrees in Tulsa a pet dog can come in and get some air conditioning but not a wild dog a wild dog is out in the street not only that a pet dog has a name a pet dog has an identity when you see a wild dog you can call a Rover O'Connor whatever you want cuz you don't know the dogs now but a pet dog has a not only that wait a minute a wild dog has to go through the trash and rummage through rubbish and get bones off the side of the road to eat but a pet dog can eat whatever the master is eating inside the house so if the last is a mistake the pet dog is eaten steak if the Masters dog wait a minute maybe you're saying nothing to do with the fact that I'm a dog but everything to do with the fact that you are my master oh you can call me a dog just be my master just be my lord come on somebody I'm telling you these are not stumbling blocks these are stepping stones you gotta get over the fact you were made to feel insignificant you gotta get over the fact you insulted even Jesus was insulted on the cross but it says Father forgive them for they know not what they do Oh somebody get down surprise at this place where's my miracle s come on give them the best pray that you can on this when you get over it when you get over it your miracles will come to pass once you get over it watch this at that moment at that moment which moment the moment she got over it if she would have walked away at any one of these offenses she would have missed the greatest miracle of her life of her daughter being healed and restored at that moment we're talking before service they said when do we bring it out we're going through it you know you got to practice this stuff said when we bring out the miracle actually I said miracle but they wrote miracles so come on I'm glad that they added the s on it because I believe some of you is more than just a miracle miracles miracles are gonna pray forth once you get on I totally do not bring this out until I get over that last offense but it was backstage the entire time oh I'm telling you God's got a miracle it's already there he's just waiting for you to get over it I'm not saying what they did was right I'm sure they were wrong all I'm saying is offended it's a decision offense is an event and on this last night of the conference I felt like God wanted to give somebody the grace and the strength to get over it cuz the enemy would love for you to come all this week and stay over here shall dancing but never get the thing you've been believing God for God will often put your miracle on the other side of an offense so you can really exercise the power of the Cross the power of the Cross is that innocent Savior who did absolutely nothing wrong who was assaulted who was ignored who wasn't Drake rejected but yet he said Father forgive them for they know not what they do and we experience the miracle of salvation because he didn't hold any sin any offense against I don't know who this is for but I'm gonna ask every head be bound all eyes closed in this place tonight everybody stand that can your miracle is on the other side of the offense and tonight God told me that if I would preach this message he wants to give somebody that Christ to get up over it but that your miracle would be a lot that big that's been holding you back for so long as that offense and God wants to heal that tonight heads about hours are closed all over this place tonight if you'd be so I'll to say you know what this is for me I need the grace and the strength to get over it you're saying I want my miracle more than I want to be offended so today I'm giving that to Jesus head's about an ounce of clothes but we're here today and say this is for me this is for me I want you to lift up your hand high enough long enough to where I can see it hands are going up all over this place anybody else thank you Jesus this is not to embarrass you this is to empower you but if you lifted up your hand or you should have lifted up your hand I'm gonna ask you to be so bold and so brave I want you to get out of your seat and come find a place at this halter and I'm believing as the worship team leads us God is about to release that thing that the enemy wanted you to stay offended about come on I'm telling you somebody's about to be healed in your physical body tonight because you've been holding on to an offense it's been keeping you up at night that depression that anxiety but today is your day of release God wants to give you the grace to get over it come on as the worship team leads us I want you to come I want you to come on a couple this is your moment [Music] this is your night tonight [Music] come on get as close to this whole tour [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] come on

Thank You chief father thank you to my father thank you we don't have to do it in our own strength Lord you give us the grace to get over it father we declare that we're gonna get over it we're not dismissing the hurt or the offense we're just saying we want our miracle more and we want to be offended Allah pray start a revival of believers in a culture of offended people father may we have open hands like you did on the cross and let us live on offender ball that the power of grace and forgiveness flow through us and in us and when the world season father let it change them other thank you that you don't hold sins against us so how dare we hold anything against anybody else all over this place tonight especially if you respond or would you just lift up your hands just as a sign of surrender and just pray this prayer just as a declaration just say dear Jesus thank you so much for loving me enough to pay the price for my sin on the cross other thank you you had the power to say Father forgive them for they know not what they do I receive that power power to forgive the power to let it go give me the grace and the strength to get over it I want my miracle more than I want to be offended in Jesus name come on somebody give God some praise in this place tonight oh come on you can do better than that let's give Jesus a praise [Applause] [Music]
