I'm Having Withdrawals | Kingdom Vibes Only | (Part 3) | Jerry Flowers

[Music] yeah everybody i want you to hit it real hard everybody say say hey say hey say hey say hey that's what i'm talking about yeah y'all going to sit down y'all rushing me y'all got me sweating already we might have to do it one more time next week what y'all think one more time all right so now i hope you're ready when this word come for your scalp all right and your edges um there are two passages of scripture that is going to be the backdrop of tonight's preaching presentation and i need us to understand this this this kingdom series is dangerous this kingdom series is dangerous because it is empowering you with your god-given authority culture makes us think when you say i'm a queen or i'm a king it's about you boo boo it's really not when we're shouting that i'm on kingdom vibes it means that my daddy's the king i'm related to the judge like the first prince of bel air bars i have a king that has chosen me and because he has chosen me i am empowered by the power of the holy spirit i'm empowered by the cross this is dangerous teaching because it teaches you that you have power you have power so two foundational scriptures that we're gonna read on tonight i could not confine this to just one passage isaiah chapter 43 is going to be our first foundational text isaiah chapter 43 verse 18 and then we're going to hop down to matthew chapter 16. isaiah 43 verse 18 and then we're going to hop down to matthew chapter 16. if you do not have a tangible bible it's okay it'll be projected for you on the screen and everybody watching online it will be on the lower thirds isaiah chapter 43 once you're there will you shout out your boys again i got it it says forget the former things and do not dwell on the past somebody say forget that forget the former things and do not dwell on the past see i am doing a new thing now it springs up do you not perceive it i am making a way in the wilderness that's important don't breeze past that i'm making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland now matthew chapter 16 verse 18 this is jesus speaking it says and i tell you that you are peter and on this rock i will build my church and the gates of hades will not overcome it certain translations say the gates of hell will not prevail verse 19 i will give you the keys somebody say keys i will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven i'm ready to get to work are y'all ready now i want you to see how these two passages of scriptures are married first the lord is telling us in isaiah it says okay i need you to forget the former things forget that because you cannot move forward and consume former at the same time that's a whole word i need you to forget former things because you can't move forward while consuming forward former at the same time you're gonna need a forward word can i get somebody to say forward that's what you're getting on tonight a forward word a word that has been customized by heaven for your spiritual growth i need you to have a forward vision because whenever you don't have a forward vision you will always revert back to familiar chaos come on you will always revert back to familiar chaos forget the former things and don't dwell on the past don't don't dwell over the fact that you didn't get invited to any of the labor day weekend festivities don't dwell on that last year you got invited but this year you didn't get a text you didn't get an email you didn't get invited to everything that they did last year but i don't want you to think it's something you did this is all due to who you're becoming don't dwell on the past don't dwell over an x okay get in trouble don't dwell over an x i need you to stop monitoring and stop lurking on the very thing that put your mental health on life support y'all not talking to me forget those things don't dwell on that because spiritual decay happens one compromise at a time i'm trying to do a new thing in your life forget that don't dwell on the past don't dwell on what they did or what they didn't do don't dwell on that don't dwell on what they said or what they didn't say don't don't dwell on that somebody say forget that don't dwell on that because one of the worst things that you and i can ever do is when we can't get over what's over one of the worst things we could ever do is when you can't get over what's over how long will you hold on to something or someone who already let you go god resurrected you from that don't go back to the thing that buried you i'm trying to do a new thing in your life don't dwell on the past i'm trying to do a new thing your past is just your teacher your past is your teacher not your undertaker don't dwell on that let your past be your school not your prison system learn from it but don't be held by it y'all better come get me i'm trying so hard to teach this thing let it let it go forget the things of the former i'm trying to do a new thing in your life don't you perceive it the reason that you're listening to this message on tonight is because god is trying to do a new thing in your life don't you perceive it the reason that you're watching me live right now is because god is trying to do a new thing in your life can't you perceive it the reason that you can't sin like you used to is because god is trying to do a new thing in your life can't you perceive it because whenever a man please hear me whenever a man or a woman meets the lord they can never sin the same again if i was a no tech guy write that down this is the litmus test the proof that a man has had a king encounter the proof that a woman has had a cross collision is when you can never sin the same again forget the former things i'm trying to do a new thing can you not perceive it what are you trying to do new let's marry the passage i am going to build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it guess what guess who's the church you and guess who's the church me so god is saying listen i'm trying to do a new thing i'm trying to building you faith i'm trying to build in you integrity i'm trying to build a new confidence all of those former things don't focus on that i'm trying to building you something different i'm trying to build you can somebody say i'm just built different i'm just you got to kind of shrug your shoulders like i'm just built different you're not gonna find another woman like me i'm just built different you're not gonna find another man like me i'm just built different i'm not boasting in myself i'm boasting in what god has done through me because nobody can do jerry the way that jerry can do jerry and nobody can do you the way that you can do you you just built different i got a different builder i'm building my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it one more time somebody said i'm built different now look at this we're going to go a little bit deeper i touched on it on sunday i kind of snorkeled with it but tonight i'm going to scuba dive with it all right the word church is ekklesia it means in the greek the assembly of the summoned it means the gathering of those who have been summoned okay during the roman empire this is when jesus came in earth the roman empire was running things caesar was like the emperor he was running stuff and ever so often he would have a meeting once a year with his governors pilot was a governor you know pilate the dude that told jesus that he could be crucified the reason that he said this of course we know that it was sovereign but in that moment the people were starting to knock a few bucks okay they were starting to cause a little reckless a little riot and he didn't want the people to start a riot because this would get back to caesar that i'm not governing this region well okay now when caesar would meet with the governors you know what that meeting was called ecclesia it was the meeting of governors y'all missed it so the church really is a meeting place of governors y'all missed it y'all missed it y'all missing you'll get on the way home oh it is a meeting place of governors it is where governors meet it is where kingdom ambassadors meet it's when those who have been summoned by the king of glory this is where we meet it's the place of world changes this is where we meet this is the place where the official representation of god in the earth they meet because there's a region that we have to govern i hope you all are getting this somebody say governor and the gates of hell won't prevail against it every governor under the sign of my voice the gates of hell won't prevail against you no devil no demon no witch no spirit of leviathan no dragon nothing on your children nothing on your mind it won't prevail but watch this jesus said it won't prevail not they won't attack they may try it but they won't prevail i just feel somebody online that blessed them the enemy is gonna try us but it won't prevail hell's gonna try your marriage it won't prevail hell is gonna try you in your singerness but it won't prevail because i'm building my church which is you and the gates of hell won't prevail against it i'm trying to give them power how is he going to give us power verse 19 jesus tells us verse 19 in our foundational texts jesus says i will give you the keys somebody say keys i love when the bible connects i will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven i'm like why are we preaching this why are we preaching about our political views why are we preaching about jokes and it's your season and it's your time i'm like are y'all reading the bible because when i'm reading the bible especially if you read the gospels the synoptic gospels the cadence of jesus ministry was the kingdom the anthem of jesus ministry was the kingdom his most used sermon content had everything to do with the kingdom and i'm like why are we talking about this jesus didn't just come down here and die so that we could have church and you can say oh church was good yeah girl you got to come next thursday i mean we were kind of live up in there yeah bro you got to come we were kind of there kingdom vibes only kingdom you got to come jesus didn't die so that we could come to church have a safe casual christianity leave these four walls live typical average mundane lives and waits or die until we see the kingdom jesus lived before he ever died and when he lived he was teaching us how to live kingdom i'm trying to give you keys while you're here because you're my official representation in the earth i need us to get this jesus is not a president okay say it one more time because it probably messed up somebody's theology jesus is not a president he has no house of congress he has no senate and rest assured there definitely isn't no election see this might be hard for us to stay understand because we live in a democracy when you don't like something you can vote it don't work like that in the kingdom there's nothing you can protest when you're in the kingdom and the kingdom you can't impeach jesus whatever the king says goes whatever the king says go let me just go ahead and say it old school every knee is gonna bow and every tongue is gonna confess that jesus christ is lord i'm just preaching so hard to you and sweaty on a thursday night trying to convince you why don't you go ahead and bow your knee now why don't you go ahead and confess now jesus you are lord i'm surrendering my way for your way it's no longer about me because what the king says goes can i get somebody to say jesus is boss you don't argue with the king you don't give well i don't think i don't think that was called for with the king he's not a president he doesn't have a congress there's nobody that can review his terms and what he says and you cannot impeach him he is the king now in the kingdom there's codes and there's keys somebody say keys just like naturally there are certain codes and keys that can lock doors and unlock doors spiritually in the kingdom there are codes and there are keys that are locked doors and open doors okay like this kingdom code of honor this this kingdom key of honor it is a kingdom key to honor people i'm gonna break this down it's gonna be uncomfortable for you but i want you to see how this works the reason we honor is because honor causes for me to get access to somebody's upgrading ability all right so this this woman right here she may be ordained by god to be a queen activator she is gonna have a woman's ministry and she's gonna empower women the bible says elder women train up the younger women this is not just age you can be more seasoned in the faith at 34 than a woman who is 64. i need you to train them up and she could have oil on her life to activate kingdom women i know she said i received that that may be her calling and her gifting but watch this if you dishonor her you limit yourself from receiving what she carries okay this brother in the back he could have the kingdom key and empowered by god to help entrepreneurs take off the bible says your gift will make room for you and god could have given him giftedness so that he could be a launching path for whatever your gift is in culture we call this a consultant we call this an advisor he literally can be graced by god to help get your dream to the next level but if you don't honor him you limit access of somebody next level in you are you getting this this is just one kingdom key so watch this if i live a life of honor it don't matter who they are mom and daddy i just honor rooms i honor people on my job i'm living a life where i'm constantly placing myself in a position to be upgraded this is so good y'all i was at a nigerian conference one day i had to preach i've never seen that many people in my life they came in a deep they didn't care how hot it was they didn't care about personal space they were sitting all on each other i've never seen a man dance like this this is your day this is your day i've never seen it so i'm kind of stunned looking right my first time ever at the nigerian church and we're in the back room and this guy comes in i don't know who this guy is from adam but i just keep seeing everybody do this god bless you sir god bless you sir god bless you sir shake somebody else god bless you sir god bless you sir god bless you i've never bowed to nobody my whole life nobody and i could have been like i'm a pastor too who are you what's up bro how you doing i could have did all that but you know what i did when he came up to me first time my life i was like god bless you sir god bless your son god bless you son i was just reading the room and i said okay obviously this is somebody who is worthy of honor i didn't know he was a bishop of over 600 churches i just saw that everybody was honoring him so i honored him too i had no idea that he was going to connect me to go to six churches under his bishop like the churches that he watches over i had no idea but what if i would have been like yo what's up man i'm a i'm african-american i don't do that i'm not from nigeria we good bro i would have limited myself from receiving what he could upgrade listen everybody under the sound of my voice has upgrading ability upgrades for yourself and upgrades for others okay bible all day we are many members of one body so the pinky upgrades the hand and the hand upgrades the wrist and the wrist upgrades the arm and the arm upgrades the shoulder y'all seeing this this is just one kingdom key of honor honor we can go on the kingdom key of forgiveness that kingdom key make sure that the frost of how cold they were never gets on your heart y'all hear what i just said just just the key of forgiveness make sure that i'm not going to allow the frost of how cold they were to me i'm not going to allow that to get on my heart so much so where it becomes my personality i'm not going to change who i am because you didn't know who you didn't know who you're supposed to be it amazes me this time of year they're three weeks left until it's considered fall it amazes me how in houston it's still 90 plus degrees outside like what fall it's still hellish outside it's so hot i went outside jesus we sorry whatever we did we sorry it's like houston is hell's waiting room i'm sorry god whatever we did you remember when your children used to play and swim i don't know how we did that the ground was burning my feet getting third degree burns but here's the crazy thing if you observe it the least will still change color and they preach to me every autumn i'm like how is it 90 plus degrees but you're already looking like it's fall and they preach to me i change because i know what's coming i don't wait until the conditions get here i'm already changing in 90 degree weather now look when you don't forgive you don't shift with the seasons so the seasons will change but you won't all bitterness does is it contaminates the container so the seasons will be able to change but you are mess somebody up you know what a trigger is is everybody i got a trigger oh i got trigger oh that just triggered me i can't that just triggered me i got triggers you know what a trigger is for the most part a trigger is an unresolved part of ourself that spawns emotionalism due to somebody we haven't forgiven or ourselves that we haven't forgave sometimes it's trauma we need therapy and we need to walk through it but i'm recognizing triggers that's an unresolved part of you that activates your emotionalism because of somebody you didn't forgive or because you didn't forgive yourself who am i talking to i feel it somebody under the sound of my voice feels like you don't deserve good things because of all the crap you've been done and so in some crazy way you almost try to punish yourself as though i don't deserve god to bless me i don't deserve opportunities i don't deserve endorsements because some crazy way you think that it's by your works not of just the goodness of god that's just a key i haven't even talked about the kingdom key of giving see in culture we hoard and kingdom we give see nobody's saying nothing the church is taking this out of context give your money and give your rent and just give they are manipulators in pulpits that's not what i'm talking about the bible says give and it shall be given unto you press down shaken together and running over when you give you position yourself to experience the overflow this is counter cultural because coaches says hoard you keep everything for yourself you get more you flex on them show the gram your new rolly that's culture not kingdom can i give you all some points number one normal living is what i want kingdom living is what god wants somebody said kingdom number two i'm going fast because i have a lot normal living is a life of hoarding kingdom living is a life of giving somebody say kingdom number three normal living is a life normal living is a life of me choosing kingdom living is a life of prayer before choosing so good y'all next number five normal living i desire to be accepted kingdom living is knowing i have already been chosen and accepted give you another one normal living i go off for preference kingdom living i live in purpose y'all goodness oh this one's gonna hit hard right here normal living my body is like a doorknob everybody gets a turn ouch everybody gets to get it normal living is your body's like a door knob everybody gets a turn kingdom living your body's a temple your body houses the holy ghost your body is god's transportation system in the earth to give him glory not just get orgasms what are y'all doing for his kingdom vibes i only remember kingdom hearts somebody said kingdom the text tells us in isaiah forget the former things don't dwell on the past because i'm building my governors and the gates of hell they won't prevail against it and i'm giving you keys to the kingdom and this question that we're going to orbit around on tonight i wish i had a sermon like this in college because it would have stopped causing for me to think i wasn't saved i have been up to probably a gazillion we're making a words a gazillion altar calls anybody else feel like you got saved more than once i if i would have heard this it would have helped me because every time i screwed up i questioned my salvation and i never was able to really talk about it because there were struggles i had that i felt ashamed of so i hid them and anytime you hide your struggles your secret struggles become your private warfares so nobody can help you god can give you reinforcements to that porn addiction to that vibrator that you have to that relationship that's abusive to your marriage that's stressing you out nobody can help you because we're more concerned about appearing like instead of being like listen i don't know why i didn't get it i thought when i got saved my flesh did too anybody recognize when you get saved your flesh didn't like you confess with your mouth and you believe in your heart but your mind and your flesh didn't believe nothing listen your flesh is not saved okay it never will be it's going back to the dust it's dirty i'm trying to get you understand it's dirty it thinks dirty it longs for dirty it craves dirty it don't matter you can hear a word like this be singing during praise and worship dirty thoughts will come to your mind your mind and your flesh are not saved your confession doesn't transform your life bible all day romans chapter 12 verse 2 do not be conformed to this world but be transformed how by the renewing of your mind so i'm saved my eternal home is secure based on my confession and my belief but if you want to experience a transformational life it starts with your head because your life moves in the direction of your most dominant thoughts lord have mercy and just because with my lips i say i love jesus doesn't mean my mind has changed to live like i love him okay so so this this former things forget the former things dwell not on the past i'm doing a new thing can you not perceive it let's talk on the night what did you do when you read and you heard forget the former things but you miss former things oh it's about to get real thank you brother thank you we need more sermons like this because us not being honest has us acting like we're at a place that we're not he says forget the former things don't dwell on the past what do you do when you miss the past though everybody okay so that you can understand it they're two classisms of people right now number one when you come to christ and you make up your mind to be kingdom you will immediately begin to feel the effects of your common appetite we used to be commoners now we're kingdom if you don't feel the desire sometimes to go back to your common ways either number one i'm not saying because i don't have no struggle because i have not submitted to the lord or number two you lying period you must transition from a commoner to kingdom but what do you do when you miss common things when you miss common women when you miss common men it's getting quiet thank you holy ghost this lets me know i'm right on it see four years ago i used the question is this sermon good now i know keep talking about that stay on that what do you do when your lips say one thing but you're having withdrawals from former things i still desire and i'm trying i'm trying to rid myself of vodka i'm trying to rid myself from pornography i'm trying to rid myself from the music that is an incubator to my horniness i just said that i'm trying to rid myself from casual sex i'm trying to rid myself i'm talking in here on the nights i'm trying to rid myself from wasting time rather if it's wasting time via netflix or social media you know the spirit of god has been telling you you are spending too much time watching this you could use this time on your business plan you could use this time being a better father you could use this time seeking my face you know god has been telling you i'm talking to somebody that's why i'm high pitched god has been telling you you're wasting too much time but what do you do when you miss what the king says you could no longer love if the love of the world is in you the love of the father is not in you and if we don't have this conversation we'll have people who have phds and silent tears but geds and talking about what's really going on enough hear me enough what i'm saying amen preach in public but god help me god help me and private god help me i'm struggling with this god god help me god i i don't know if i'm really saved god am i really safe do you really love me because if you did why do i battle with this what do you do when you miss it you miss it you know it was toxic you know it wasn't kingdom but it felt good didn't it nobody could say man right there yeah and what i believe god is striving to do especially on tonight exclusively with this message he wants to give you keys so that you can present to your destiny the best of you not the rest of you okay a lot of us are exhausted because of the warfares we're dealing with in the dark that's why you're so tired it's not your job i'm battling with still dealing with the withdrawals of something that god tells me i can no longer love but if i be honest and my flesh is difficult to let it go and god's like listen i want them to stop wearing masks over their injured souls by presenting to people fake smiles because sometimes you don't value health until you've been sick talk holy ghost and i just feel that there's a people i'm right here with you that you're tired of being sick but you're acting like your soul doesn't have a cold i'm tired of acting like i'm not tired i still miss some things and i'm experiencing some withdrawals and so yes god created me a pure heart created me a contrite spirit god changed me because i know i'm on my kingdom vibes only but i still desire kingdom common things only one of the biggest struggles that i've seen as i've traveled abroad globally and even locally is we love our dysfunction is so good i know it because it's so quiet we love our dysfunction we've gotten comfortable in it if you want to get a man charged up if you want to get a sister's neck rolling and get her to start grabbing air first of all first who you talking to that clap in the air if you ever want to get her clapping or grabbing air disturb the bed of her dysfunction dysfunction has us in a house that's on fire and instead of us getting out we embrace the warmth love our dysfunction we'll defend it we'll fight for it we'll date it we'll marry it we'll sleep with it we'll even share it masked as giving advice well baby you know you know you know how something you know make sure you keep some money on the side just in case he cut up a little bit you don't remember how your daddy was you know this is just what we do keep some money on the side just in case he act active food you don't have to worry about it you got your safe that's not kingdom that's mama's wound [Applause] that's mama's wound that's a trigger that she has within herself that has become transformational in a generation of women same thing for men you saw your royal oats before you settle down you don't look you don't settle down with just one woman but when you do you want to look for a version though because you don't want nobody been all around but you weren't a version though how we putting metrics on purity even versions are some of the freakiest okay y'all don't want to talk to me dysfunction now this is this is what i wish somebody would have told me as i was dealing with all this stuff trying to be kingdom but i feel like i still have withdrawals from common ways i wish somebody would have told me and i could have logged on and heard a preacher say that's normal i wish i would have heard a message where a man or a woman of god could say you're having withdrawals you know withdrawals are that's the heart's way of raging when a pattern has changed but that's normal this is what your body does when toxicity is leaving gosh i wish i would have had that it would have helped me so much you're having withdrawals maybe you're not stuck you're committed you're committed to a pattern that keeps you in a cycle talk holy ghost maybe you're not stuck you're committed to a pattern that keeps you in a cycle and what you're feeling at night that's bothering you what you're feeling that tightness in your chest why you just randomly feel like crying why you just going swole on them in the gym is because you're breaking that cycle you're breaking that pattern you're breaking that stronghold and it's difficult because you got used to a pattern of getting a good morning text or a good night text y'all not talking to me you got used to a pattern and not getting it tonight feels some type of way not getting it on this morning made me feel some type of way but this is normal withdrawals it's the heart's way of raging once a pattern has changed but this is normal this is what it feels like when toxicity is leaving the body stop second guessing your commitments you ask for god to show you the truth and he showed you the truth when god shows you the truth don't repaint it do you love with the paint brush whatever god shows you when god shows you the true colors you repaint it because you desire it by you at 25. i would desire this bio is 30. i desire this and so you constantly keep repainting red flags tossing and turning at night questioning your salvation i wish i would have heard somebody tell me you're having withdrawals you're having withdrawals your heart is raging because a pattern has changed but that's normal that's what it feels like when toxicity is leaving the body the concern is when your heart's not raging the concern is when there is no toxicity leaving the body god this is so good y'all i wish i would have understood that trauma and disappointment have a way of separating you from you but kingdom teaching is the road map back home stop questioning god's love for you it's a process wounds build walls but healing builds doors kingdom keys builds doors stop mislabeling this as such a hard season and i'm so lonely i told us last week you're not alone you've been separated i'm addressing your withdrawals for common things well i just need somebody listen boo boo the cure for your loneliness is not company it's your calling all right so when he tells us forget the former things don't dwell on the past if i'm doing a new thing can you not perceive it i'm making a way in the wilderness maybe the way god deals with your withdrawals is by prescribing a wilderness god would you help us right now in the midst of this message i filled the room would you help us understand that you love us that you have an amazing love for us and this detox that we're filling doesn't mean we're not as saved as the next person but you're training us and teaching us how to be kingdom god forgive us for presenting to the world as though we're kingdom but in private consuming common meals we ask that you change us and save us in jesus name we pray amen it's getting real in here in there it's getting real i want to speak for this topic for a few more moments and then i'm done and you can go home and get your food on the way off i want to speak from this topic i'm having withdrawals i'm having withdrawals can i get everybody to say this as loud as you can and everybody watching online put this in the room in all caps can i get us to say father detox me from everything that's not like you greater is coming say this i feel this father detox me from everything that's not like you greater is coming put your hands together if you receive that greater is coming listen jesus did not come down to be the sacrificial lamb to connect us to god the father get the keys of hell and death as he resurrected from the grave just so that we could be average powerless christians enough with being saved and powerless can you slay anything besides a dress can you lift anything beyond just the weight i need you to access your kingdom authority your kingdom authority and there's this problem that's getting in the way of this kingdom desire because listen you don't end up at the place you desire you don't if we did some of us would be thinner some of us would have more muscle we all will be a millionaire probably billionaire because that's what you desire you don't end up at the place you desire nor do you end up at the place you crave you end up at the place of your appetite okay you end up at the place of your appetite and the reason we're having this tug of war battle i'm trying to break free from it i'm trying to let go of this i'm trying not to be bitter i'm trying not to be easily offended it's because yes you're called to kingdom things but are you honest enough to admit i still desire common meals all right we shout kingdom vibes only kingdom king we shout it but what if you crave common meals only common common meals only somebody i ain't never shouting that chain again [Laughter] maybe the problem is not the problem the problem is our appetite all right see we know that organic vegetables are healthy we know i have to say organic because some of this stuff is faith we know that organic vegetables are healthy sometimes it's hard to get a toddler to eat their broccoli because they haven't got the revelation or the understanding that this is healthy for your appetite it's not until you reach a certain level of maturity that you begin to understand for the well-being of my health i have to implement this to my diet so now randomly i start desiring asparagus i start desiring kale that doesn't mean the vegetable has changed my revelation has my revelation and my appetite has for a lot of us our appetite keeps the leash on that next level you on the next level you you want to be kingdom but then you kind of like common and it's difficult because you can't consume fresh manna and common meals at the same time see this is why many times when it's time for you to change who you are that also requires for you to change who you're with okay let's go a little deeper because if i formed all my friends my whole squad was formed in egypt my friends are gonna present to me egypt meals y'all getting this because friends always extend to you their diet no i'm telling the truth you go over a certain friend house they always have potato chips they always going to offer it they extend their diet but the one on meal prep hey we got some tofu in there you want some tofu nobody want no tofu bro but whatever level and their appetite that they have they'll extend it to you see hear me whenever we come out of a thing due to the repercussions versus reprogramming preach holy ghost whenever we come out of a thing due to the repercussions versus reprogramming hell can always tempt us with former meals because your location has changed but your taste buds haven't uh i'm trying to teach you kingdom stuff man my taste buds haven't this is why there's a difference in being free and delivered okay when you're delivered this means your place has changed but your mind hasn't caught up when you're free you could be in the same place but your mind is relocated give you bible all day the children of israel were delivered from egypt remember tell pharaoh let my people go they were delivered from egypt but they still craved egypt their appetite still was egypt so that when god placed them in the wilderness not to punish them but to deal with their cravings they kept on talking about we remember in egypt we had meat we remembered egypt we had kale we remember in egypt just like some of us i remember i had so many contacts i remember i had so many friends i mean i had so much fun we're trying to reflect on all of those things and god is saying i'm trying to detox you from that give you more bio more bible lost daughters they were delivered from sodom and gomorrah but they weren't free from sodom and gomorrah because they got the daddy drunk and had sex with them somebody said disgusting that is sodom and gomorrah type of behavior they had a child called moab this is how later on when boaz saw ruth he was like who is that and she's like that's the moabitess what is he saying she comes from the lineage of moab moab means incest of my father i'm trying to teach y'all man means incest of my father yeah you got out of sodom and gomorrah but sodom and gomorrah never got out of you let's make it real common so we could understand it you could take them out the hood but you what can't take the hood out of them now same thing with freedom paul and silas were in prison but their mind was relocated in jail they're right in bars and praising god because my location may not have changed but my mind has is this making sense i'mma give you a bible so that you can understand this because i want us to get it the one of the multifaceted purposes of the wilderness is so that god can deal with your appetite my phone's so dry don't worry about that it's so dry i'm playing with my sentence don't worry about that i'm dealing i'm dealing you everything that being just i'm dealing with your appetite please hear me y'all because it's freed me and i wish i had it when you're becoming kingdom and you're on your kingdom vibes only god will always give you a wilderness he will always give you a wilderness i can say right now somebody give god praise because he about to open the door yeah somebody give god praise because your breakthrough's on the way yeah now somebody give god praise because he has prescribed for you a wilderness for the rest of 2021 you're gonna be in a wilderness in a dry place in a hidden place nobody's gonna see you you're just gonna know god for yourself no more pharaoh no more bondage you're just gonna know god we don't really clap about that y'all trying i hear my post clap but i'm trying to show us that's what god does you on your kingdom vibes here's the wilderness why i gotta deal with your appetite let me give you a bible exodus chapter 13 verse 17 is this good exodus chapter 13 verse 17 it says then it came to pass when pharaoh had let the people go that god did not lead them by the way of the land of the philistines although that was near so in other words that was a shortcut let me help somebody god is never going to give you a shortcut all right for god said lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war and return to egypt so god let the people around by the way of look at this y'all the wilderness of the red sea and the children of israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of egypt god is always going to give you a wilderness you know why because he won't let you fake growth there's a lot of things that you can fake you can't fake oil you can't fake anointing so i'm gonna put you in a season he did it with jesus y'all before jesus started his ministry if you read it the text says the spirit led him up into the wilderness before god ever next levels you i gotta give you a wilderness because if you were like jerry i consumed a lot of common meals i consumed a lot of meals culture told me i should eat i watched a lot of things that culture told me i should watch i listened to a lot of music that affected my mind i saw a lot of things that affected my mind and god says i have a calling for you but first here's your wilderness here's your wilderness i know you on your kingdom vibes but i'm on my wilderness vibes it's the place where i rewire your appetite so i'm in with this and we're done the phases of becoming kingdom i believe happen in this way you have interruption instruction interruptions excuse me introduction instruction construction and production this is how i believe the process works and i wish i had this there's interruption introduction instruction construction and production okay so what does that mean first everybody you gonna have a season in your life where god interrupts your story you got plans yeah you know what i'm gonna start my business i'm gonna do this then god comes you think you're gonna do that nope you're not doing that you're like all right well uh i met this dude he kind of cute so we're gonna go ahead and plan a honeymoon god gonna say uh this is not kingdom i don't know why you have married him in your head nope that's not my will for your life no interruption did it with me i have my own story is anybody honest enough to meet you got your own plans your own story i'm messing them up and it's okay this visual aid gonna help you i was like okay i'm gonna go to college and i'm gonna be a pediatrician i went to school pre-med major god interrupted and said nope you're going to be a pastor i like but i want to be a doctor you won't be a doctor and you're going to help children just my kids you're going to help my kids you're going to be a spiritual doctor i'm interrupting your story somebody said interruption before i met tanisha there was a young lady i was talking to i thought we were going to get married guy was like nope you ain't doing that either you're going to meet a woman in oklahoma named tanisha and y'all going to start something called redefine tv then you're going to start going over the whole world telling people y'all clapping but it didn't feel like collapse when i had my plans praise god what do you do when god rips your plans up i had plans i knew what i was going to do anybody know what you're going to do with your life and then god just if you thought everybody say interruption now the second thing that happens is we have introduction so okay why can't i sleep why can't i enjoy the same sin like why am i at the club and i'm like it's hot it smells like weed who is this man coming behind me you know they just come up like this like who who is this behind me i'm over here just trying to enjoy get from behind me sir i'm trying to be real y'all who is this this is when god is striving to introduce himself to you he's trying to show you listen i am that i am i am that i am you can't confine my am to any am because you don't know the am that you're gonna need me to be monday i am your waymaker on tuesday i am your mind regulator on wednesday i am your keeper on thursday you don't know what i am you're gonna need me to be i'm trying to introduce myself to you i've interrupted your life now i'm trying to interdeuce myself see this is why i feel a lot of churches need to be more gracious because when people come we on the instruction phase why your cleavage out why you smell like weed you're heating they haven't even had the they haven't even had the interruption yet you're trying to get them instruction but they haven't even had the introduction they got to have the introduction and the interruption before you could ever give them the instruction they don't understand what this means i gotta have somebody teach me somebody say introduction then after introduction you have instruction that's like right now okay kingdom vibes only kingdom kingdom vibes only all right oh that was good the key of forgiveness make sure the frost of how cold they were come on bars the frost of how cold they were doesn't get on my heart okay i got that all right oh maybe this is not a trigger i just need to forgive my baby daddy maybe that's what this is i need to write this down i'm getting instruction that's discipleship i'm gonna give you the keys to the kingdom you weren't made to be common you weren't made to be typical you were not made to have a birthday go to school get a degree get a job retire have a little dog named toto and have a white pick a fence and die that is not the extent of your christianity i need to show you that you're called to change the world there's some blood cycles that you have to break there's some strongholds that you have to break this not getting on my daughter this not getting on my son i'm giving you instruction does this make sense interruption introduction instruction now this is probably the longest phase construction lord i just felt oh lord construction and you know why construction is so hard because it'd be like okay um introduction all right interruption all right instruction construction all right yeah uh the way they taught you how god is that wasn't bible that was legalism i'm getting rid of that mm-hmm yeah uh what your mama told you about that church or what your daddy told you about sewing your role we don't do that i'm giving a wrecking ball this is why each and every week you come it feels like you're getting wrecked it's because you're a construction site and god is constantly saying no we're not doing this no no that's not kingdom that part is right girl yep you can keep that part all right all your flaws all your sin i don't even see that i don't even see all your flaws or your sin let's let's go ahead and mark that out that's been blood covered can somebody say blood covered that's i'ma scratch all this out i don't see you by your abortion i don't see you by a stripper i don't see you by selling drugs i'm constructing you now watch this i'm constructing you so that i could produce you to the world this is so good y'all now i got a story i got a message i got a message i had no idea being upstairs for nine years teaching high school students how to love jesus because teenagers don't say amen you see how y'all laugh teenagers don't do that you better know the bible you better be creative and you have to break it down to the lowest common denominator you know why i do so many illustrations it's because i had nine years of dealing with 14 year olds and 16 year olds and i have to think of creative and innovative ways to get you to get the gospel i had no idea that that was a season of construction where god was molding in me a teaching style because a few years he's gonna give you a platform and as a generation that has to hear the message of the gospel and you're gonna have to be creative you're gonna have to be innovative you're gonna have to stand on stage and sweat and rip pages out of a book that you had in college so that they can get it you didn't make sense when you were going through it but it makes sense now we're gonna be on our kingdom vibes kingdom vibes only i want you to know your withdrawals are normal i feel like somebody should be freer on the night your withdrawals are normal god wants to produce you to the world so that you could be heaven's billboard so father in this moment we thank you for your grace we thank you for the season of interruption for your introduction for your instruction for your construction so that we could be your production make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit and lord i'm with you always even to the end of the age god detox us and give us the patience to stop trying to rush the wilderness because you're rewiring our appetite we love you so much for it in jesus name amen
