Instinct - Part 6

I design your limp to make you humble to make you thankful to make you grateful are there any limpers in the house every time you want to get puffed up I want you to just remember what it cost you to get out of that cage and when others are highminded and self-righteous I just want you to promise me that you'll lay on your face before me and thank me for delivering you out of your cage I left your lip as a reminder that if it had not been for the Lord that was on your side you would have Havey you would have been swallen up this is the [Music] part hello brothers and sisters I'm excited and delighted to have this opportunity I am on a mandate by the Holy Spirit to get this word Instinct into your spirit and into your life I'm going to share some of the Concepts there more in the book than what I have time to share on television but just begin to wet your appetite into a deeper more practical understanding of how you live your life do you not understand that God's plan for your life did not start when you got saved it did not start when you got spirit filled he told Jeremiah before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee and I ordained you God prewired you your instincts are Clues into where you ought to be most Christians spend all of their lives never really knowing what they were really created to do other than to be saved and to love the Lord and to clap your hands and praise I got all of that but how do I move my life along so that I get to the end of my life and say like the Apostle Paul I have finished my course not yours not the churches my course what I was created to do I'm going to give you some glimps and some highlights and invite you to come on this journey with me as you unload your inborn instinct let us be clear here that when this is over verse 30 Jacob called the name of the place panal for I have seen God face to face and my life is preserved verse 31 and as he passed over pinu the sun rose upon him when you get past this the Sun is going to rise upon you the Sun is going to rise upon you the Sun is going to rise upon you when you get over this hurdle gosh I'm trying to teach but I feel so prophetic I can't hardly stand it I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know who this is I I don't know whether you're on the internet I don't know whether you're streaming in but the Lord said when you get over this hurdle the Sun is going to shine upon you I I don't know what your hurdle is but he says if I tell you you will know who you are whatever that hurdle is that you're trying to get over right now to be free I prophesy to you right where I stand that when you come over the top of the mountain the Sun is going to be shining on your [Applause] face [Music] [Applause] and I want you to understand that you will limp back you will limp you will limp back the limp is not Des to you but the limp is designed to remind you how much Freedom [Applause] cost the limp is a Telltale sign that you didn't get here without struggle you didn't get here without pain and I will let you run with the rest of the Lions but when you run you going to be [Music] limping and I meant for you to limp this is not the devil I meant for you to limp I design your limp to make you humble to make you thankful to make you grateful it are there any limpers in the house every time you want to get puffed up I want you to just remember what it cost you to get out of that cage and when others are high-m minded and self-righteous I just want you to promise me that you'll lay on your face before me and thank me for delivering you out of your cage I left your lip as a reminder that if it had not been for the Lord that was on your side you would have have most shy you would have been swallow up oh God God oh God there the that I wish I had a limping servant in the house somebody who limp their way into your blessings and Lim your way into owning your house and lip your way into holding your family together and Limp your way into your promotion and Lim your way into business and you can't ever get high-minded because you know that it was just yesterday you were stuck back in the cage [Applause] Lord I Thank you thank you thank you Lord I Thank you thank you thank you Lord I Thank you all the days of my life oh Lord I Thank you thank you thank you Lord I Thank you thank you thank you I just thank you all the days of my life oh Lord [Music] I Lord I thank you you know just because you have good instincts doesn't mean that you can't make bad decisions uh many times you will make mistakes and you will fail but it is also your instincts to give you the inclination to get back up again I believe that Samson knew that he wasn't finished even though his eyes had been put out he seemingly lost his strength he had no visions of grandeur all of his notoriety with gone and he was grinding at the meal and yet the Bible says his hair begin to grow just because you made a bad mistake just because you gone bankrupt just because you've been in prison just because you violated some Covenant that you should have kept I'm not justifying what you did wrong but thank God God does give sucking chances and if you will follow your instincts and not allow people to bury you when God has just planted you then you can get back up again the difference between burial and planting they both go in the same dirt but one comes back up again you don't have to tell your business but tell your neighbor I limp to get here I limped I limped I limp my way into this place I'm in right now I limp my way into that house that that my first house we got we limped into it we sacrificed to get into it we we couldn't even put Furniture in it but I I I I I y'all don't hear what I'm saying limping is a part of the

up and took me away and I went in bitterness In the Heat of my spirit but the hand of the Lord was upon me he said the spirit Lifted Me Up it took me to a new place and I was angry as I went I was angry as I went but the spirit of the Lord he said I went in the heat of my spirit but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me I the hand of the Lord was on me and I but I went in the heat of my spirit I I was lifted I was blessed and I was angry I was lifted I was blessed but I was angry I thought I was going over there to straighten them out I was going to get them together I was going to

oh God can I go a little deeper can I go a little deeper I'm I'm going to give you a couple of points God gave me this for somebody I don't know who it's for number one while you sit in this new place you have to understand that you are a in a new land okay in a new land never come into a new place leading without taking the time to learn the terrain of the new territory following God will take you away from the turf you knew following God will take you away from the turf you knew you can't be an expert over here you just got here it is here that you see why faith is the prerequisite indeed we do not need faith for what we know or what we've mastered oh I love this line faith is for the place where sight fails us oh God oh God faith is for the place where sight fails us God I'm going to say that again Faith Fai is for the place for the place where sight fails us sight it is here like Blind Men move to New Apartments it is here like Blind Men move to a new apartment we walk by faith and not by sight uhuh picture it now a blind man in a new apartment mm what problems would that create think about it a blind man survives by knowing his parameters absolutely now you've moved him into a new apartment and he can't see so he has to learn how to function in the new environment faith is for the place where sight fails us we often do not know immediately we often do not immediately feel the sense of rejoicing because when our faith takes us to a new place we grope in the dark indeed I can't feel happy about the new apartment even though I sign the lease wow being in a new place doesn't feel good because I grope in the dark yes sir till I learn the new place yes indeed than okay you get that I do let's go deeper deep second thing it requires is a new language every new place has new rules yes spoken and unspoken yes the rules they tell you about the rules they don't tell you about there is in every corporation a language and Rule of how things get done that are never mentioned in the employees manual so just because you're read up on something doesn't make you an expert you have to sit there s days with your mouth shut learning how to get things done I'm helping
