I Am Number 8 John Gray (subtitulada)

so here's what's funny I'm trying to go into my scripture and my iPad is totally on e but I brought it back up in the outside pocket can you hand me my phone now I know I charged it [Music] but apparently I guess the enemy's just desperate to do anything to keep the word for but I keep my notes in more than one place so just in case he hits one thing I got a back-up plan so even if you mess with my piece I still got my joy outside you got it oh there it is huh now this song right here I've just heard this for the first time and I already want it on my ipod and it's blessing me and I needed in my life now if you all can see what God can see about you your worship would change now I can't make this up now now my phone is actually broken I'm not lying this is this has never happened but because I know the word in my heart this is so weird let me tell you why because I was going in one direction with the word and the Holy Ghost said right before service I need you to shift because that's what happens in revival you gotta go with the flow of the Holy Ghost now all of my electronic devices are under attack why well Satan is the Prince of the power of the air so he stopped stuff over the airwaves but it's cool go to First Samuel 16 take this I don't need it I feel the Holy Ghost First Samuel 16 you're gonna mess with the wrong one notice where I look never look a devil in the eye because when you look him in the eye you've already elevated them you want to talk to a devil write a note on the bottom of your shoe because he is under your seat but I know we have another experience soon to come and I do want to jump right into the word but I want to pray first because I knew that God wanted to do something not just for you but I knew for me and my family there are family miracles that are in this church this morning and across all of the campuses and those who are watching online if you only want for yourself you're missing the blessing and the beauty of what can take place cuz some folk and your family are about to get free because you're here father in the name of Jesus I pray that you will right now speak through your word to your people for your glory and I thank you that because of who you are nothing that happens nothing that the enemy tries will be successful in any of our lives you already spoken the word so the word could not be stopped God this is the first time that the stuff that I tried to do didn't work in the middle of a preaching moment but because this word is in my heart I believe it's the word for the house [Music] [Applause] hallelujah so that must be why there's opposition because the enemy only opposes that which you've declared so now proof who's got all the power and breakthrough in this place in the name of the only one that matters Yeshua HaMashiach Jesus the prophesied and true Messiah he's who was declared from the beginning the lamb the foundation of the world different riders all pointing to one man he is right now seated in the right we give all glory honor to make in the name of Jesus Christ we everybody gets got a great you may be seated I'm grateful to be here and I'm grateful for this moment in the word and to all of the families of this great church across all the campuses a great good morning and God bless you we also want to acknowledge and give honor to all of our police officers firefighters first responders especially on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 we want to thank God for anyone and everyone who has laid their lives on the line to protect us all we thank God for you and your families and if by chance there's someone who lost a loved one or is impacted by 9/11 we give all of our prayers to you and I love to you and our support to you and we thank you for the sacrifice of your family members on that fateful day but God will restore your joy and your peace and he will give you comfort through your pain may the Lord protect every police officer and firefighter and every military person that's represented in this church [Applause] Steven Furtick is my friend and he is a man of God and this church is a problem for the devil but I'm trying to figure out where he came from now some people have just a legacy you know what I'm saying like you just know like oh yeah he gonna blow up you know I don't know Bill Gates son but I got a feeling he's not gonna have any financial problems you understand what I'm saying they're just certain if your last name is Zuckerberg and your dad works at Facebook you straight there's a legacy in place but nobody could tell me that they knew that a kid from Moncks Corner [Applause] I think the reason why the the miracle of elevation church speaks to my heart so much is because I always love an underdog story it's one thing when you got the power and you got the swag and you got the the money and you have the facilities it's another when you were just often to cut serving God and he's whispers the word and you just obedient and you just trust him and you just stay behind him and he just opens up another door and he opens up another door and he opens up another campus and he opens up another campus and he opens up another campus and he opens up another campus then he opens up another country and all of a sudden in the most racially divisive time in our country since the 1960's I'm looking at a homogenized Church in the South in North Carolina and you're telling me this is not a miracle and you want me to be casual at 9:30 on September 11th you want me not to praise God you want me to be regular and casual now this is a miracle this is what revival looks like the reason why I thank God for your pastor and for this church is because it gives guys like me hope to keep on pushing to keep on preaching see I didn't have the legacy I didn't come from a long list of well-known pastors and leaders I didn't have a trust fund we trusted God for our funds am i talking to anybody in here any single mothers in here any parents in here who have to fight to make ends meet anybody got to stretch that money till Thursday when that direct deposit hit you understand what I'm saying talk about cold orange when that orange light is on your gas tank and it's so low you start praying in tongues why you driving here bro but by Sunday they base yeah you shot that guy by side you turn off air-conditioning turn the radio down quiet being quiet don't fake nothing shut your mouth we got no gas [Applause] like the radio they'll take your gas [Applause] I love an underdog story you gonna tape the whole thing with your phone you just got millions of dollars of cameras you just gonna have me on your Samsung like I'm gonna get that path I'm gonna make it hard on me you just gonna take me cuz you want to um [Applause] so far the ladies with brains if you might ask a black woman she knows exactly what this means she just got her hair done but it's itching but she can't scratch this you got the pad it's comfy she got the padded [Applause] I love an underdog story my mom and dad divorced when I was very young my father was not a significant part of my life but my mother kept me in the presence of the Lord parents don't make Church optional for your kids if they're in your house get them up bring them to this church but sometimes they talk back I wish something in my house would talk back to me when I'm paying bills and feeding them you better get up and get to church you either going alive or in a coffin is your choice but you going to church because as for me in my house we will serve the Lord I'm not supposed to be here it's probably why I keep looking around because I know where I came from all the metrics and statistics would say that I should be dead in jail really no hope for a future I should not be a husband or a present father in the lives of my children none of the men and my family have ever been successful in their marriages and so I don't come from the lineage of success but I'm so glad that not earthly lineage it's not the final chapter of my story because when I gave my life to Jesus at 7 years old God interrupted my story I love an underdog monks corner never heard of it but you heard of it now I want to talk to anybody who's ever felt like you were overlooked marginalized undervalue perhaps the gifts that you have have been missed by people who didn't see the true value of who you were you've been hidden well guess what that's exactly where God creates leaders see code orange is not so much a revival exclusively as much as it's an announcement of a generation God is announcing people across multiple campuses and those who are connected it this church literally speaks to those who have been disillusioned by religion as usual in church as usual people who are hungry for a move of God a touch of God a real authentic encounter with Jesus and experience that they can tangibly feel but cannot physically express there's just something about this atmosphere I can't even put my my finger on it but I know Jesus is here I know where I may not know all of where God is but I know where God is not and I've been in places where God is not enough to know where God is he's here [Applause] it's working now now you are you scared me cuz I didn't know what was going on he just rolled up on a brother I'll say hold on come on I got 1% come on Jesus thank you brother I want to talk to anybody who's ever felt like what God placed in you was hidden devalued this revival is for you because God is getting ready to do what Romans 8 18 and 19 says for I consider that the sufferings of this present age are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the revealing or the unveiling or the Torah the pulling back of the curtain on the sons and daughters of God God is about to pull the curtain back on the gifts and the hidden talents and the treasure that's been inside that he's been building and establishing in you through the process of pain through the process of tears through the process of prayer this is that moment but you had to be hidden because God needed to make sure your character matched your calling I need a four-second praise break your character has to match your calling monks corner bro there's another guy that came out of nowhere it got used just kind of turned things upside down First Samuel 16 and 11 then Samuel said to Jesse are all the young men here Jesse said well I mean yeah they're here oh well their remains yet the youngest he's out there keeping the Sheep Samuel said to Jesse send him get him for we will not sit down until he comes nothing's moving until the one God chose gets in position some of y'all don't even know it but there's some things that are stagnant waiting on you to arrive I don't know if it's because you guys are really smart cuz at 9:30 in the morning you got to love Jesus to be in church and all y'all got all y'all advanced degrees and something like that's really good that's didactic I like that that's very that's very vociferous of you I'm getting ready to preach I need you on a priestess ain't no lecture I need somebody to holler back at you boy what I just said was there are there are ideas there are businesses there are opportunities there are positions and companies that cannot be sealed and they have tried to fill the position and it just doesn't work until you show up you are the key to an entire system being successful be sent and brought him in now he was ready and had beautiful eyes and was good-looking the Lord said to Samuel arise anoint him for this is he 13th verse and Samuel took the Horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers in the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward I want to preach for the few minutes that I have about this kid that came out of nowhere and nobody knew who he was and you do want to talk about revival - the beautiful thing about revival is you don't know which way it's coming from you don't know how God's gonna move he does things suddenly and I love how God just turns things upside down and turns up patriarchal society and what you expect and he just does something all out the cut and then all of a sudden here in Bethlehem that's a familiar name somebody else was born in Bethlehem they were looking for a king in Bethlehem a prophetic declaration of a king that was going to be born in Bethlehem Samuel shows up Saul was a mess God said go anoint somebody I already chosen his was crazy God chose him before people chose Saul but God will always let people get theirs in first so God allowed saw to go first because in order for David to become David he needed Saul stop despising Saul you need Saul you need people to hate on you you need the people to tear you up you need people to attack it's the necessary ingredient to keep you humble and in the presence of God and it keeps you pliable in the hands of the master stop hating Saul thank God for Saul because if you got a song that makes you Dave I need somebody to worship in here Samuel shows up at Jessie's house just like hey sons ah one of y'all about to beat again hurry up line up line up here comes the Prophet and Samuel was a real prophet he wasn't wanted him regular prophets he wasn't wanted him weird TV prophets that you see at 3:00 in the morning but I'm gonna tell you right now I feel something in my spirit I feel right now somebody's got arthritis in their left kneecap I tell you pour some water on your kneecap God's gonna heal you right now call that number on your screen and you gonna burn in a hot lake of fire now the Bible says when Samuel prophesied folk trembled not one word that he spoke fell to the ground God backed him up with the power of heaven he showed up at the house with some oil in his hand and a word on his heart he sees he lieth the firstborn handsome boy double portion boy big time Jesse's big dog as soon as samuel season saying is light in his heart the Bible says Sam was like that's the one guy was like hey I want to teach you something to profit because man looks at the outside that's why you've been overlooked because you didn't you don't have all the 65 degrees and you didn't come from the family with money and so people think they know all there is to know about you but they don't know what God has been seeding on the inside of you they don't know the dreams God's been giving you in hidden places no one has a clue that you've been writing in your journal you've been putting notes in your phone you've been believing God for something so crazy you couldn't even tell your family members because they would have popped you out of believing God for it oh they think they know you but they don't really know you and if you don't know now you know the first lesson is that the Prophet was fooled by the external why is that important because some of y'all been hurt by leaders in other places and people at position who didn't see you don't get upset they didn't see you because they couldn't see you it wasn't intentional God hid you even to them because he doesn't want you needing validation from outside sources he needs you to be secure and who he created you to be and if nobody tells you you got a calling you know it because God has declared it in your skin you don't need a nametag to CERN if they never give you an award at the banquet at the end of the year then you still be in that parking lot with that little orange vest with a smile on your face saying this way welcome to Elevation this way could you still pass buckets as no one knew your name could you still sweep floors if no-one knew your name because that's the one that God is raising up not the ones that need to be validated in front of the crowd God is looking for folk that will serve when no one is looking because if you can serve when no one is looking he will give you favor when everyone's looking I need a 10 second praise break in here three I need a hot bath I need even the Prophet thought Eliab was the one but he wasn't God said I've refused him God was like oh not you I don't like your spirit is he got to the next son number two nope number three not ah number four nine number five and number six number seven didn't I say no now the Prophet is confused so now I know you told me that there was a king in this house so then you get to first seven 1611 and salmon's Kay said it where are all the young men here Jesse's responsible yeah they are I mean the ones I would choose [Applause] all the ones that I'm proud of are here some of y'all have been marginalized by family because of the circumstances ah but there are no illegitimate children there only illegitimate circumstance there are no accidental lives you can't sneak into the earth you have to be spoken into the earth and if you're here you have a purpose whether your father was in your life or not whether your mother plan to or not whether people wanted to hear or not you are here because God wanted you you have purpose seven sons seven is the number of completion and it was a complete no Jessie say well I mean I got one more you're him he he out there in the field unbeknownst to him there was a kid in the field just sitting out there with sheep just out there just bad he was artsy kind of to himself because his brothers didn't like him he was the runt of the family had a different mom conceived in sins what he said shapen in iniquity this is in sin my mother conceived me this is what David wrote he was out there in the field by himself everybody else in the house he just out there writing songs you can always tell the sound of revival because there is a a theme of brokenness and passion and humility and hunger that's why I love the sound of this house because I hear a sound that speaks to my soul it's not a sound of pride like I'm so good and look at my talent it's a sound that says God if you don't show up I don't have anything God if you don't make a way I'm gonna be lost God if you don't speak into my marriage I'm not gonna make it God if you don't show up I don't have enough money guy [Applause] David was out in the field staying obedient and all the sudden his father calls from the house David sir come in somebody here needs to see you I'm sure when he sees you he's gonna realize he made a mistake but just come on the title of my sermon for the 10 minutes I got left is I am number eight eight is the number of new beginnings so number eight is sitting in the field he was so overlooked that his own father didn't even invite him in to be a possibility but what is hidden from men is revealed by God this is what is the power of elevation church cuz y'all been in existence 10 years but where were you 10 years ago Steven Furtick you can't go anywhere in the body of Christ in the world where they don't know who he is where was he ten years ago God's blessed me people know who I am I'm at the restaurant I'm chillin them at Applebee's let me get some riblets there's a passage on I heard your sermon I heard you trying to eat right don't you want don't you want some fat-free no I don't want no fat-free dressing stop looking at my sermons online how do you even know who I am but 10 years ago nobody knew who I was here's what's crazy I was then Who I am now I'm getting ready to go somewhere you know him now but he was then who he is now because who you are at your core that's your foundation what people come to know is God's revelation he didn't be clean and get anointed today he's been anointed don't start oh see people don't know how to take you yet because they know there's something on you which is why some people really are drawn to you and others just can't stand you and the ones that can't stand you is because they can't control you people don't like what they cannot control all you do is go to work and you nice to everybody and then women at the job I just have some arcane I don't like her it's just boom I don't like her why I don't know just something something is the name of the Holy Ghost holy ghost other name because you got the Spirit of God on you people wanna be daddy they smile in your face but they they're trying to figure out what is that thing in there I can't break her every time something bad happens she's up with no weapon formed against me will prosper because you've got something on the inside that says I've been out in the field where nobody knew where I was I was worshiping in the dark I was praying in the dark I don't just go to church on the weekends baby talk to God on Thursday night and Tuesday morning and Monday afternoon and sometimes I close the door of my cubicle every melody I've gotta give God some praise because when you're a number date it doesn't matter where you off you got it somebody say I am numbering [Applause] I came to announce number eight during this code or survival that which has been hidden overlooked marginalized undervalued spoken against God is about to elevate promote launched and lift this is a season of number eight the thing that's been hidden in you is about to be revealed you're getting ready to go from anonymous to necessary overnight you're getting ready to go from rush your name again - we've been expecting you I'm talking to somebody that needs to be encouraged anonymity was not God's displeasure it was his development samuel says stay right there I feel the Holy Ghost right there stay right there Samuel said sin for him for we will not sit down until he comes what Sam you did is conferred honor on a kid who by the very culture he was in would not have even been considered for leadership he was last on the totem pole but when you're in the presence of authority you rise David started walking towards the house dirty from being in the field running after sheep that didn't even belong to him with the dust of the field and the sweat of service on his face and body he walks into the house he sees a man he's never seen with a jar in his hand he says you called me Dad [Music] Bible says God said to Samuel him the one with the dirt on his face him who stinks from acts of service him the ones that the brothers hated on him anoint him well Most High shouldn't shouldn't he change first no anointing while he's dirty some of y'all missed that you think God is waiting for you to get cleaned to anoint you he's gonna show his love that he's gonna pour oil in the middle of you in the middle of your situation he's gonna say I know what you struggling with I know what you're going through I still anointed you I still got a purpose because God doesn't anoint finished works he anoints you so you can finish the work if you can do it without him you wouldn't need him but he's anointed you number AIDS get anointed while they're still dirty so you've got the anointing and the dust that's what makes you relevant to culture because you're anointed of God but you still have dust that people can connect to and say even though God's got his hand on that lady and I see God doing great things I still feel like I can connect to her I feel like I can connect to him this is not the season for people who think they can look down on other people like you so good and they're so bad no God is anointing people who can say I've been where you been I've cried where you cry I ain't always been anointed let me show you my scars let me show you my flaws let me show you where I failed so that you don't repeat the same mistakes [Applause] somebody say I am number eight overlooked undervalued marginalized hidden in a field and as he was walking from the field to the house he had no clue that it was the last time he would walk without being anointed king you walk to the from the parking lot to the church had no clue Heaven was watching you walk I'm talking to somebody you close the door angels were at attention like Secret Service making sure you got to your seat wherever you are that's your assigned seat even if you're watching online at home it's your assigned seat if you walk from your bed to your computer it's an assigned seat because this is an announcement today that it's time for the anointed to arrive the one that had been hidden too to take their rightful place and this is the power of King David and the warrior a worshipper and are there anymore it's your war the are there any number eights in the church [Applause] number eights are made to worship made for warfare and made to win but here's the key your worship is your warfare God is raising up people who have had to fight through tears and fight through pain and fight through questions you've lifted your hands and you didn't even know if God heard your prayer but because something in you says even if you don't answer I still acknowledge you as God there's power in that worship and this is the power of David and this is the power of a number eight that when he was anointed in that house he didn't become king for many years but here's what's deep the moment he got a knowing that I believe in my spirit as soon as he got finished he said Wow daddy can ask a question she said yes sir can I go back outside now because his position did not change his posture I might be anointed king but right now I'm still the Shepherd and I got a job to do can you stay humble and keep serving and keep believing and keep honoring other people because your time is coming in fact your time is now so when you get your anointing and people finally realize who you are don't change don't change don't be late I told you I was anointed I'm told you're gonna know to say I'm going back out in the field to serve in your spirit I will rise [Music] [Applause]
