ready to give in the building today [Music] yes as i was getting ready for this i looked up this scripture it's actually matthew chapter 6 verse 26 and it simply says this look at the birds they don't plant or harvest or store food in barns for your heavenly father feeds them so let me just say this so we're looking at the birds the birds do not plant or harvest and they do not store food right it is god himself who feeds them and aren't you far more valuable let's have an understanding aren't you far more valuable to him than they are so can all worries add a single moment to your life no you are so much more valuable to god so basically what i'm saying is if god can provide for the birds god can provide for you if god is feeding them if they are doing absolutely nothing and god is taking care of them guess what god is going to take care of you and why because you are more valuable to him than anything else on this planet he is simply going to do it because you're that you matter that much so if i could get everyone to stand with me today today we are going to give give out of a love out of a heart knowing that whatever we give today god is going to give back to us right that god is going to take you do not need to worry about a single thing god has got you we have several ways that you can give today by cash or check text to give cash up and venmo you can give online at the website or there's a kiosk in the back and here at limitless we just asked everybody to walk it all up drop it off at the altar and let's do it yes thank you for your giving me [Music] [Music] father we just thank you for this day come on somebody lord we thank you that when we want to give up we get back up we want to thank you lord that every worry every doubt every fear that we walked in with that's being dismantled in this building and father we're going from limitless limited to limit less because we know in our mind we are limitless because we can do all things through christ who strengthens us and so lord give us the overflow somebody tell them today give me the overflow come on say god i love you i love you for everything you've trusted me with i trust you for the breakthrough i trust you for healing in my life i trust you for joy unspeakable and full of glory in me in jesus name amen amen and amen i decree over you today that you receive answers to important questions to important concerns and thoughts and i pray the answers from heaven come upon you to bring clarity and understanding i break the power of all confusion bewilderment and clutter from within your mind and i declare today that all sense of misunderstanding or disillusionment cannot enter any part of your being i pray the lord's peace upon you [Music] regarding those questions that only you know about which only heaven can reveal in god's timing and that renewed trust in the guidance areas from the heavenly father prevail i say that joy abounds within you i break despair off of you i break addiction off of you i break hopelessness off of you you are overshadowed by the truth that the lord is always working on your behalf he's already working it out somebody's saying he's already working it out he's already renewed my mind he's already renewed my hope he's already renewed my trust no weapon formed against me shall prosper devil you are being evicted come on somebody you're being infected from my life from my kid's life from my spouse and it ain't over until god says it's over and it ain't over until you take your last breath [Music] so lord we thank you in jesus name amen amen and amen you may be seated y'all throughout september i'm so thankful for all the guests that are in here with us thank you to our team man y'all are awesome i love you guys all of my dream team everybody thank you thank you thank you for all you do here at limitless throughout september we've been talking about church here did y'all enjoy apostle ramon last week man it feels so good to be able to do what god's called me to do and no limitless ain't lacking that limitless i'm gonna tell y'all something about life y'all ready for this so quick schooling life is what you make it facts you can be angry and bitter or you can be an overcomer right i know our church is wild because if it wasn't wild it wouldn't i wouldn't be pastor you know what i'm saying i believe that in order for us to get out of a place that we don't like we got to move we're like well god said he gonna do it but he can't pick your feet up like i believe that if you really get sick and tired of being i know for a fact i don't believe nothing i know for a fact that if you trust god for real he will take you from the back of the line to the front of the line he will heal your marriage he will set you free from that addiction we will go to the football game we will yell all day long on saturdays at a tv but when it comes to our situation we will keep our mouth shut and when we do open it it's about how crappy we are and how hateful our life is and how god just now when he created you he strategically was putting your nose in that place that you don't like he was giving you that five-finger forehead so you wouldn't look old later because it stretched you he knew before you were ever even a thought in your mama's womb derek he knew that you were gonna go through a few divorces because you couldn't get your mouth under control he knew that you were gonna be in a situation where y'all were going to divorce court and a pandemic came and made you have to stay in the same house together and fall back in love he knew but we're the ones that won't let ourselves forget and so the whole month of september we were talking about church hurt and we brought people in from our congregation on wednesdays to talk about how they were hurt but yet god set them free now i want to tell you something about god that when you begin to tell your testimony you are going to get tested in the very place you go get tested in the very area that you testified about right if you used to cheat and you tell about it somebody gonna reach out to you from your high school gonna test you but the thing about god is he says i'm bringing more testimony to your test right and so we've learned all throughout september how it's our position to get up and take back our authority right and we can let it go if we let it go we can't let it go if we say we're going to let it go but we won't let it go right it's being aware of every time the enemy tries to trip us up now i ain't going there today you know it's praying prayers like god i want to be free from this addiction but i can't i don't know how to be free give me conviction you know what i pray let me tell you how ratchet i am and savage god if you see me going down the wrong path make me ill get my stomach upset let me not be able to sleep let me feel something's off in me because i never want to go back to what you set me free from but see we don't want to pray those prayers we just want to come to church and do a two-step and fall on the floor and think we delivered but the enemy got kicked out of hell on purpose because he is a sly con oh he he can make it look so that grass looks so much greener and he'll make you want it and it's your job to say it's it's having a oh hell no moment oh oh no no no we got kids in show i'm going to say too much because i'd be thinking it's the customer but that didn't have customers y'all are not allowed to say this unless you're telling the devil to go to hell where he belongs it's having those moments right has anybody in here ever felt like you were lacking something what i ain't telling you girl you know why you ain't gonna tell me because you said it before and somebody used it against you so i'm not gonna say it now raphael i ain't gonna say what i'm lacking because i don't want you to use it against me like everybody else used it against me right but we go through life denying where we're broken because we don't want to admit it because someone in our life a counterfeit came in our life that was broken and used it against us maybe you feel like a mistake has tainted your life maybe you feel like you are on the clearance right now right we talk about that a lot but isn't it crazy and we're starting this series today if i only dot dot dot if i only would have not married that person if i only wouldn't have went to school every day just stoned out of my mind if i only wasn't in special ed my whole life then i could write a book if i only would have just kept my mouth shut not told my ex for 18 years i don't need no man woke up one day and didn't have one if only i if only i dot dot dot so i want you to ask yourself today if only i what is your situation that has paralyzed you that's made you now have to reach for things to fill the void can't find happiness in you for nada you got the greatest wife you got the greatest husband you got the greatest kids you got the greatest car you got the greatest house but you can't find joy it's almost like if only i could get a better job i'll be happy no you won't if only i if my husband wouldn't have lost his six pack and kept the one pack he looked like gq when i married him now he looks like dq right if only i it's crazy how we will be in the presence of an unlimited god gerard and put limitless limit limits on an unlimitless god we will decree we will declare we will push back our bread we will fast we'll go on every kind of fast there is but yet we're still tore up from the floor how do i know that because during the pandemic we have seen that a lot of people went to church screaming i receive it and you ain't got nothing but the dress the shoes yeah but your heart we pray prayers like i just want to be closer to you jesus not realizing that he's right here he's an ever-present help creating me a clean heart oh god come on if you want to be clean create in me god see breakthrough begins and we're going to talk about this if only i breakthrough begins where our excuses god can't heal what we won't reveal god won't reveal what we like you know we're the scariest place to ever live is believe in your own lies i have watched people literally saying things and i'm like man i want to clap back so bad and god's like they believe it the enemy thought he was right the devil thought he was right until he got kicked out he's the only idiot that ever got kicked out of hell i'm in heaven into hell he thought it was right and it ain't your job to convince people that they're wrong when they are determined that they're right you can't fix somebody that don't want to be fixed but you can sure break yourself trying to fix somebody that don't want to be fixed that's some of your problems not everybody's your assignment that's why you're tired you're wasting your oil you're wasting your oil i don't waste my oil no more yo i am in a season of my life and i pray this god if i am investing in people i got a whole rtk inner circle i got i i work i am one of the hardest workers in this church why because i'm leading you i'm showing you how to be a millionaire and how to be blessed i'm showing you why because i know that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for me and i'm coming back for everything the devil spoke i've got to lead the path [Music] you ain't got no broke pastor and i don't take one check from you you don't pay nothing but here's why my heart got right create in me a clean heart oh god and renew a right spirit within me create in me don't let your place of a rut become your place where you rot let me sit over here for this crowd don't let your place of a rut become your place where you rot stuck on silly stuck on pride stuck on i'm too good to follow you i'm as good as you are missing out on blessings because you think i'm more qualified than them i can't hear but you ain't got their oil i want to go to second corinthians 5 11. ii corinthians 5 11. i'm going to tell y'all something this is a season where everything you want god's putting in front of you this is a season of reaping it says in joel 225 he's gonna give us back everything the devil stole that's even the pandemic season that took everything from you he's gonna restore i don't know about you but i won't i don't want what i lost back i lost it they left i lost it i don't want you back i want back restitution i want seven times greater i want it back i want it all back [Music] the devil can't steal nothing that is a sign to me that's why it ain't your place to be telling nobody that's my husband that's my wife that ain't your place that's their place right but we're busy in this life too busy trying to own stuff that's small and god is saying rejection's my protection when i remove something from your life it's because i got something greater i am not a god that is a psychonaut i am a god i'm more than anything i am a god that makes a way out of nowhere i'm a god that will pour the red look at the red seat he didn't move the water he parted it right down the doggone middle but see what we do is we want it moved and god is saying i want to part it oh i gotta walk through it i gotta walk through it how am i gonna walk through it by getting out of my own way if only i sometimes i i watch on social media i'll say things like what do you want god to do in your life today and i'll hear people saying change my husband change my wife i don't know you always prophesying this but i'll never see it that's why you don't see it because you don't want to see it because you don't think you're going to see it because you don't think you deserve all god has for you because maybe your daddy walked out on you and you think if he's a good good father why did he let this happen right so we're walking through life and we're saying i'm seeing all of these comments man if i would have just stayed here if i would have just stayed here if i would have just stayed here if god would do this but i never ever hear anybody saying if god would change me [Music] change me make me a better wife make me a better husband make me a better dream teamer make me a better pastor make me a better friend fill me up till i overflow with your glory not with society but with your glory i don't want to look like them i want to look like him it says because we understand our fearful responsibility to the lord we work hard to persuade others god knows we are sincere and i hope you know this too we are commended we are we commending ourselves to you again no we are giving you a reason to be proud of us so you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart this is the bible so that means he already knew we're gonna have prideful preachers petty patrons i could rhyme all day today because i got some extra on me today if it seems we are crazy it is to bring glory to god that means your worst case scenario that means while you're locked up in a padlocked white room because you've lost your mind up in here up in here god said i'm going to take you from the white sterile padlock room and i'm gonna move you to running the whole hospital i'm gonna take you from laying in your bed feeling like you've lost everything when they've walked out of your life and i'm gonna allow you to run a whole ministry of recovery for people that need to know how to get set free it seems we are crazy it is to bring glory to god and if we are in our right minds it is to it is for your benefit either way christ's love controls us since we believe that christ died for all we also believe that we have all died to our own old life stay in here so god if you said in your word that you're going to do exceedingly abundantly more than i could ever ask or think then i got to get out of my way because right now i'm struggling i live to drink every night because i don't want to think maybe you're online today maybe you're in this building today and you're saying if only i if only i wouldn't have done abcde some of y'all go through the whole alphabet i could but look at me leading millions of people every day i didn't even preach my first sermon till i was 40. i was a late bloomer reconciliation is what god wants from you reconciliation is god's goal for his people forgiveness is a crucial part of being reconciled we got to reconcile how do we do that we stopped saying things like if only i would have made better choices then i wouldn't have regret see the enemies told some of y'all that you are bad bad birdie and nobody else in this room is as bad as you i probably tore up your story i was the nay-nayer not the prey prayer i kept that little lady right there on her knees if only i wouldn't have hung out with certain people i saw the red flags but i ignored them if only i would have been raised with a mom and a dad i would have known i would have known how to keep my marriage together when we make mistakes it mean it makes a mess and the mess causes us to live in regret what can you do forgive yourself forgive it that's the place i live if i can't go back and fix it i'm gonna forgive it and you know what's so cool is that now i've got grace for the world i love everybody so much and i even get condemned by a lot of pastors because i'm not preaching a hell and brimstone no my job ain't to scare you to hell my job is to love you so right like jesus that it makes you realize that he got on that cross for you and it ain't never too late 40 45 50 55 it doesn't matter if you did everything they said you did once you come to know jesus all old things have passed away we know that god causes all things to work together for our good so if only i would have been spent more time with my kids if only i would have kept them in a family of a mom and a dad they wouldn't have been crazy i remember when i walked through my divorce and i was so just oh humiliated because nobody in my family had ever walked through divorce and i was raised man you're gonna go to hell on a slip and slide if you get a divorce it's over i'd done everything i could i'm still committed to the fact that nobody gets married thinking they're gonna get divorced and i walked through this divorce and i moved back with my mom and dad and through the process my kids were man they were missing their dad and i was still so broken and i remember in one of the seasons morgan was so angry i asked him if i could talk about him he's like his mom and he's like girl go ahead use it for jesus and so he was walking through the season and he was very angry and he would hit the wall and he'd put holes in the wall and he'd act like that sweet boy that plays the guitar not derrick the other one you need to put holes in the wall and i'd be like son what happened he said i slipped and then one night i remember he got so angry at lunch and he was just ripping me and my daddy stood up from that table he said son if you ever talk to my daughter like that because he was taking his anger out on me for his dad and i just lost my voice i'm sitting there and he says my daddy said son if you ever talk to my daughter like this again he said you're gonna feel my foot in your face and morgan just storms out of the out of the restaurant and i started that regret if i would just my daddy drove me around 285 which is a complete circle seven times begging me not to marry that boy they wouldn't be here we're living in regret of stuff i couldn't change and it was god's will for me because i got two incredible sons out of it and i remember y'all listening to me about two o'clock in the morning right there about a second from my house the deputy sheriff of fayetteville calls and says i need somebody to come get morgan's car we're taking him to jail i get there as they're taking my son off for the whole night i sat and i wept thinking of my six five son laying in this sterile room because he's in a position that he didn't want to be in he all he wanted was a dad and a mom when his fault he was angry watched this sweet boy that was angry go to jail me and my mom and daddy that night sat and wept i i cried harder that night the kind of cry like probably woke the whole neighborhood because i was blaming myself in regret for why my son was sitting behind those closed jail cells trying to get him out of jail and god kept saying nothing would work out to get him out of jail finally the next day he was there for almost 24 hours i'm standing in the i'm just so embarrassed because i pastor a church and my daddy was pastoring then and i'm singing on the praise team i wasn't living a whole right self i wasn't i wasn't walking in forgiveness i remember this big old man comes walking out of jail with his shoulders down and as he walks out to me he falls in my arms and god said this is how i am with you he laid on my shoulder and wept a grown man and 18 years old weeping with his shoulders and i heard god at that moment say i'm using what the devil meant for evil and i'm shifting it when i tell y'all something that's exactly how god does i did not leave my son there i always told my sons if you go to jail i'm leaving you but i couldn't move things quick enough to get to him that's what god is saying to you today church i never walk out of your life when i tell y'all i got the greatest son on the planet after that he honors me he respects me he ain't angry no more he is the kindest he is a hard worker all it took you could stand up was 24 hours alone he could have walked out of that place angry like some of you you're angry about that divorce you're angry about that dad that walked out of your life you're angry and every single thing that you've done in your life is just because you're angry and you're using all of this as a crutch to stay stuck but today you gotta pull it together god uses hell to raise us he uses your test and your story today i don't know what you need to let go of it didn't fix his daddy's relationship with him just now his dad got covered a couple of weeks ago was in icu and in the icu i heard the lord say i'm shifting your ex in the season thought he was gonna die now my sons have their dad finally at 27 and 25. i mean he he may not i don't know but i've been praying for him somebody's been praying for you and today you got to let go of regret you got to stop needing affirmation from people stop needing validation from people validation is for parking tickets today let god choose you he says i can do all things through you if you will just surrender surrender the jail surrender the pain surrender the hopelessness surrender the sleepless i surrendered the shame i could have been so embarrassed but now i tell er y'all know i tell everything i tell everything because i hate letting the devil waste my hell and if i got a few religious people that get upset in the process because i'm in their boat oh well i'm winning sinners to god every day everybody lift your hands say father i need you in my life i need you in my situation i need you in my kid's life i need you in my home i need you in my car and today jesus take every ounce of of separation isolation shame guilt off of me thank you god that i'm walking in restoration thank you god that redemption is my story thank you god that i'm getting out of my own way and i'm running into my future in jesus name amen amen and amen man i love y'all so much i need my prayer team the prayer team can come up listen we're gonna keep these prayer team
