How To Prepare For Your Next X Sarah Jakes Roberts

some of you have already received the instructions from god you've already received the measurements and you already have an indication of what it is that he wants you to build you know what that non-profit is he you know what that degree is you know what industry you're supposed to be in but i hear god saying that i gave you an inkling i gave you the clues but you're going to have to actually do the work i wrote down in my notes here that god speaks it but you do it and when you create that rhythm with god where he knows that if i speak it that person will do it he will continue to download some of you have been stuck but you haven't done what god already spoke and i hear god saying that you will become unstuck the moment you start moving in the direction of what i've already said you see god's not going to waste his seed and he wants to know what are you going to do with the seed that i have already given you and so noah comes to a place where he recognizes okay god i've been favored okay i've been chosen okay i've been spared but now in order for me to move into the next dimension of what you're doing in the earth i'm going to have to roll up my sleeves and start doing the work you've been receiving from all of these different teachers and they've been giving you all types of insights on how you need to grow and who you need to become in order for you to manifest that thing that god placed down on the inside of you to bring that anointing to its fullest potential and i hear god saying when are you going to actually do the work somebody doesn't need another lesson plan somebody doesn't need another confirming word what they need now more than anything is for god to hear the footsteps of them moving in the direction of what god said everything god's going to do in the earth he's going to do it through you it's not going to come because he just spoke it but because someone took what he spoke and manifested it so just as noah has to cut the wood you're going to have to do the work you're going to have to prepare to build let's talk about doing the work part of what noah has to do is he has to cut the wood and he has to prepare the wood to become the ark what does that mean is it relates to what god is doing in your life that means that you can cut the wood and you've also got to lay the wood out we're talking about preparation here sometimes we're so busy focusing on the finished product that i want to do this and i want to do that that's my end goal but god wants to know what are you doing right now to prepare yourself for where you're headed have you started identifying the trees have you cut the wood have you measured it are you lining things up in your life so that you can become the person who's able to own that business so that you can become the person who's able to run that department so that you can become the person who's able to have that family what i want you to do this is just two days this is just like a huddle meeting for two days what happens the most after this what matters the most after this is how you're able to begin preparing for what you received in this season cut the wood the second thing that i want you to do and i want you to consider as i look at the parallels between noah's story and our story is that i want you to cut the want cut the want what does that mean i'm going to read it like i wrote it down god doesn't make noah do it alone he doesn't make noah go into this next dimension alone but noah's world as he knew it doesn't fit in the future that is ahead of him it's great that noah got to go with his sons and his wives and his son's wives but the reality is i'm sure noah knew more people than just that circle and so he had to come to a place where he trusted that what god gave him as a need was more important than what he wanted god help me say it sometimes we can't move because god hasn't given us what we wanted and because god didn't give us what we wanted we think that we don't have what we need and i hear god saying that if you would cut the want and take inventory of what you have and come to a place where you realize that everything i need is buried in what i have that means that if i'm looking outside of myself that means i'm looking at something i want but not necessarily something that i need and so i'm going to pray right now even as we are in this message that god would begin to illuminate to you what a want is versus a need because when you recognize that god has given you everything you need in this moment for the next moment then you will not constantly be asking god for more and more and more but instead you'll be saying god what is this what is this what is it that you have given me what is it that i am missing where is it where is it god because i recognize that you're calling me to more you're calling me to hire but i feel like there's a disconnect but god wouldn't keep calling me if there was going to be a disconnect i hear guys saying that he don't drop service that he is not a t that he is not sprint that when he speaks the word it comes through loud and clear and it never drops service so if i'm calling you don't don't worry about what's going to drop in the process that i've given you everything you need in this moment i hear god saying i want to prophesy for a moment that you've got the right team i hear god saying that you've got the right friends i hear god saying that you have the right investments you have the right idea you have the right finances i know that you're looking at what you don't have but god is looking at what you do have and i hear god saying that i gave you all the experience you need i gave you all the creativity you need now i hear god saying exercise what you've got use what you've got flex what you've got i hear god saying there's more to you than what you think there's more to that relationship than what you think there's more to that bank account than what you think i hear god saying i won't give you more until you use what i gave you maybe that's why we can't get more because god hasn't finished up what we get what he's already given us and when we exhaust what god has given us then god can pour out some more and malachite says i'm going to pour out a blessing you don't have room enough to receive you think you have more room and i hear god saying that you haven't used everything i gave you yet god says it's not time for more capacity it's time for you to experience a different level of exhaustion i want you to work smarter not harder stop asking me for more people to help you bear the curse stop asking me for more money to help you fund the dream and start doing what you can on your level i'll do what i can on my level because if god called me to do it one thing i'm not going to do is let his seed fall to the ground i may have to do it on a small level right now even though i got a big vision in mind that's where god is calling me but the only way i get from point a to point b is if i work point a like it's point z i feel like that's somebody's word i gotta work point a like there's no other option i gotta work step one like we don't go no higher than this i gotta bring excellence to where i am i'm not waiting for someone to fund it i'm not waiting for someone to back it up i'm going to do it to the best of my ability because my god says that he will do exceedingly abundantly above all that i may ask for or imagine so i'm going to give them something that is more more than what my fear is telling me it is more than what my anxiety is telling me it is i may not have everything i want but i've got everything i need so god cut the want out of me do you know how hard it is to come to a place where you ask god to cut the want out of me to say god i don't want it anymore i only want what you have for me i only need what you have for me god i thought i wanted x y and z got i thought that that would make this pretty little picture for my life that's what i wanted but the truth is god if i don't need it help me to take the want away from me god i wanted that person to stay in my life god i wanted that opportunity to stay in my life but god if it's not you then i must not need it and sometimes we gotta ask god to scale me back to only what i need because if you give me what i need i know that there's seed connected to them i can't imagine that noah was excited about leaving people he knew behind but he had to trust god in a way that you're going to have to trust god it's so easy to talk about walking away from toxic relationships because we know they're not good for us but what do we do when god cuts the want so that we can be in covenant with him god i wanted that god i wanted that job god i wanted that relationship god i wanted my parents to still be here god god i wanted that god i wanted that how could you allow this to happen to me god says i know you wanted it but i promise you as much as you wanted it you came to a place where you didn't need it the way you think you needed it and right now the only way you can continue to build is if you forgive god and i know that sounds crazy it feels crazy every time i say it but we are in relationship and sometimes it feels like god disappoints us god i wanted it but i trust you so much that if you say get on this ark with only these people that i'll have left i trust you enough to say that i think i can rebuild even though i won't have what i wanted in the picture cutting the want requires vulnerability requires trust and it is most certainly covenant because sometimes it requires bleeding but i hear god saying you can trust me with that
