children we just thank you for spoiling us and making us feel loved and feeling right at home I feel like I I got more than I gave I was just so blessed just to be here and to worship with you and to be blessed in their services with you and and to have an opportunity to share with you tonight I'm just indeed grateful I leaned over and a hug Charles name in this afternoon and told him I he just blew my socks completely off he walked up there and said all of that gracious stuff about you know all the other speakers and then just preached there I couldn't even think of what my message was for tonight it's bad to sucker-punch a preacher like that but I have something I want to share with you tonight this on my heart tonight that I feel like the Holy Spirit has given to speak and to share into your heart and into your life tonight and I'm excited to be blessed to the Lord to do it I'm going to go right into the Word of God because I want to maximize my time with you I'm going to be in Matthew 25 14 to 29 I want to thank Brian and Bobby for their hospitality while you turn to that they have just been so good he fed me so good today I had to repent glory to God thank you Jesus I can go in the strength of that meat for 40 days Matthew 25:14 through 29 when you have it's a man oh that was kind of weak there you go so I'm gonna turn you into the Potter's House tonight I'm gonna ask you to stand while I read the Word of God because that's that's how I do it and Brian told me to be myself so I'm 56 years old it's too late to change and when you when you hear this you you are hearing you are hearing the mastered teacher Jesus Christ delivering a parable to explain to us that that we cannot see using a story that we can see it is a parable about the kingdom of heaven because the things that God has for us are being on human comprehension and yet Jesus introduces them to us in stories and parables not so much that we might get caught up in the nuances of the story but that we might learn the principles that are in this story because the principles are the principles of the kingdom somebody say principles of the kingdom we're gonna hear one tonight Matthew 25:14 for the kingdom of heaven if there's a man travelling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods and unto one he gave five talents and to another two and to another one and to every man according to his several ability and straightway took his journey then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other five talents and likewise he that received two he also gained other two but he that had received one when indeed in the earth and hid his Lords money and after a long time the Lord of those servants cometh and reckon it with him and so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents saying Lord thou have delivered unto me five tellers behold I have gained besides him five talents more look at me God I did good that's not even your about this a man his Lord said I may have well done thou good and faithful servant that has been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter into the joy then the Lord he also that had two talents came to said Lord thou deliver something to be two thousand behold I have gained two other talents beside them and his Lord said unto him well done good and faithful servant thou has been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things it darling to the joys of the Lord then he which had received the one talent came and said lord I knew that thou art a hard man reaping where thou hath not someone in gathering where thou has not surrounded watch this closely I was afraid and I went and hid that talent in the earth and lolled there thou have that which is died his Lord said unto Him thou wicked and slow for sermon down newest that I require so not together where I have not sprung thou oughtest therefore to put my money to the exchangers and then at my coming I said have received mine all was usury take therefore the talent from him and give it unto him which have ten talents for him to every one that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance but from him that have not it shall be taken away that which he seemeth to have can the church say man remain standing I'm going to pray with you while you're standing I do that so that you can't sleep while I'm preaching tonight I'm going to talk to you about the instinct to increase the instinct to increase say that with me the instinct to increase said again the instinct to increase God never intended for you to stay where you started in where you began just maintain neutral eyes and wait on him there is something down inside of you that God wants to bring forth the very first command the very first word that God said to man was be fruitful and I say to you tonight in the name of Jesus that you are coming into abundance in every area of your life I say to you tonight that God didn't give you a cup that he doesn't want to run over I speak increase over your life and I'm not just talking about money I'm talking about ministry I'm talking about gifts of the Spirit I'm talking about wisdom and knowledge and understanding and every area of your life abundance is coming to you if you have the instinct to increase let's pray sweet Holy Spirit seize this moment to speak in this place had my flesh behind the cross there's nothing exceptional about me there's everything marvelous about you if they hear

a supernatural miracles let this message out lift me and let it outlast me and let it be meat and nourishment to the souls of your people I thank you for what you're about to do I turn it all over to you in Jesus name somebody shout amen no I said somebody shout amen all that sounds good sit down whoo I like that good ol Australian aid man y'all got logs down here shout amen oh yeah [Applause] all given the place [Applause] I'm coming along I'm coming along take me slow I have the privilege several years ago I was invited by these businessmen in South Africa to come over yeah yeah yeah everybody in South Africa I loved it I loved it Cape Town and Sydney are two of my favorite cities in all the world but I was over there ministry for a bunch of Christian businessmen who had come into an abundance of wealth and they wanted to submit all that they had into the hands of God and and they invited me over to talk to them boast about business and about faith and just a small group wasn't a big crowd of people but it was amazing time and one of the benefits that they gave me for being over there is one of them had such influence he said when you get through working we're gonna take you on a safari and I'm being a hillbilly from the sticks in West Virginia I thought that was pretty cool and I got real excited I had my son with me and I had my wife with me and and I've never been on a safari before so I I went out and bought me some safari clothes because you got a cord made everything you got to be looking good when you're out there with the elephants and stuff you know because they might take pictures of you something so I I look like I knew what I was doing I was excited and they said we're gonna take you over in a little plane and you're gonna land on the runway and everything like that it's cut out in a little remote area but it's gonna be cool and we got on the little plane I was cool and my son was cool and my wife was there yes she was there she was in and I was really cool with it cuz I pictured I pictured a runway with the tower and a control tower and and everything there was no control tower anywhere there was a little runway just a strip going through the jungle no lights or nothing on it and we had to wait before we land because there was a rhinoceros out in the middle of the run and all of a sudden I knew this wasn't going to exactly be like what I had in mind when I started but I was still cool cuz a little boy at me is kind of crazy ruff oh this is gonna be good and my son was down with he's ready to go do it and my wife was just there they took him out to this it was like a monstrosity of a mansion out in the middle of the jungle and it was really cool it was it was a Jay Paul Gettys house and it was really some place that I couldn't have gone had they not just loudly to go and it was wonderful it's real plus was real nice I'll have a good time so they said don't go out the house at night you know because the animals are free now you have to understand in the States we have animals but but they're in cages and stuff like that and we're free and the animals are in cages and so this was a international concept that I was not exactly familiar with me I decided I was gonna go anyway so my son and I we put on our outfits if we got up early that morning and we said we're going I don't understand it all Jeep up and we got on the G please I fell you ready that's easy had a dime ready we jumped on the Jeep my wife wasn't there she felt lead of the Lord to stay at home and pray for us so we got on the jeep we're riding out there you know and and it was interesting because the guy who was giving us a tour and gonna show us all of these unique animals I mean lions and elephants and all of this fantastic stuff he was a zoologist and it was amazing it was amazing because he knew all of this stuff about the animals how the animals teeth were cut a certain way so that when they bit into certain branches the branches work were cut in such a way that they would be proved and it still be fruitful was amazing how smart our God is then he had been gone a detail that every aspect of their created fiber fit into the environment in which they had been created so that they could function and eat and survive without losing anything or destroying anything he was explaining to me everything he was explaining to me like this amazing stuff how he could look like at the dong and the animals in tail you know whether it was a male or female or which way it went all it has to violent at it I didn't see too much but but but it felt fun but I didn't see that but yeah I was on the Jeep when my son and myself and the zoologist who was a professor from the University who had a wealth a wealth of knowledge and information and intellect and he could explain everything about balance he explained everything about him but but there was a Zulu who was sitting on the front of the Jeep in a small little chair with with some kind of like some kind of big ole outfit on and he was sitting out there and sooo ologists could explain about the animals you know everything about the animals but he couldn't find them the Zulu who was sitting on the edge of the Jeep said the elephant is over there and all of a sudden something hit me and right smack-dab in the middle of my ball here I said I am sitting right in between intellect and instinct intellect can't explain it but only instinct can find it instincts instinct is an inborn pattern of behavior that is characteristics of a species whereby you have a motivation or impulse or gut knowing or if your spiritual being it's a prompting of the Holy Spirit it defies logic or intellect bypass the senses or reasoning has nothing to do with what you read or study to learn in school it's its inner impulse the nudging of the Holy Spirit to react beyond information now intellect is real important it's very very important you got to have intellect the more intelligent you are it's that too is a gift from God but intellect without instinct will cause you to fall short from the elephant is over there I said that good then I tried it with me Thiele fridges over there Oh y'all are messing that up you see you take that also Australian and mixing it with that African it just fall over in the floor one more time see it DLF inches over there good you did good give yourselves a big round of applause Jesus in my text tonight is teaching us the kingdom of heaven it is lacking the kingdom of heaven is like it's not this but it's like this he's using something that you can understand to explain something that is beyond human reasoning the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a master he says who called his servants and gave them now we I want you to catch this you have the master and the servant and if you read that with your Australian man or your American man or wherever you came from if you read it through the lens of that mind in the society in which you have been raised in which you have been developed or in which you have been extrapolated you will miss the power of these words because you've got the master and one translation says the master and the slave and the master and the slave are worlds apart trust me those are not the same things at all Jesus existed in an environment where most of the societies of which he lived during his era were in a caste system it was not a democracy a caste system suggests whatever status of life you are born in you belong there so if you were born a slave then you stayed asleep if you were born a master you say to master if you were born poor you stayed for if you were born wealthy you stay rich there was no feeling of responsibility to raise one person up into another status of life it is a caste system the haves and the have-nots the ends and out the master and slave the rich and the poor and never the twain shall meet so the whole notion that this master who owns the slave is getting ready to go on a trip and he give it to his children he doesn't give talents to his heirs he bypasses his neighbors and give it to a slave is shocking you don't give your master stuff to a slave that's crazy that's awesome that's mind-boggling the slave has been gifted with master stuff he didn't earn it he didn't work for it he didn't labor to get it he has been gifted God wants you to understand as far as the master is from the slave that's how far we are from God he said my thoughts are above your thoughts my ways above your waist as high as the heavens are above the earth that's the gulf that exists between me and you you can't work your way up to me you can't earn your way up to me you can't be good enough to get up to me never the twain shall meet we are far apart it is not where the slave works his way up to the master it is where the master comes down and gives the slave it was not where I came up to God the story is that God came down to me and the slave has been gifted favorites with me I am gifted that means that that's not bragging for y'all I'm scared to say because you don't want to sound like you're arrogant or proud or anything you want to always appear to be humble at all times particularly when you're around other Christians because you are evaluated on a score court based on how humble you act but tonight just because Bishop Jake's is up here you got to put up with me for about 30 more minutes just go ahead and say I am gifted I am fearfully and marvelously made there's all kinds of stuff in me there's all kinds of talent there's all kinds of creative ability that I didn't learn in school there's stuff that you can do that you don't even know how you can do it you just can do it you have just been gifted you are so gifted that whoever gets you gets the gift you are set and not a liability you are the head and not the tail you are above and not beneath you got some good stuff somebody shout I am gifted I have been gifted there's some things that you can do that you don't even know how you can do it you can just do it I mean little simple things it don't have to be big things like like what like cook or or dress or bill or design or create and you just got a knack for something you don't even know where you got it from God in His infinite wisdom just came down and gifted you [Applause] yes sir buddy yes sir buddy if you don't understand what you have you don't understand how to keep it you don't understand how to value it and you can't create understand when you lose it you have to understand that you are a gift and whenever you come in the room the only thing that doesn't add to the sum total of a number is the zero and if you are not a zero you are in addition shout I am gifted and the master gave to the slave the slave is the recipient of something that breaks the social order of his day the talents in this case really money it has been given to him just giving me a mess of crazy story let me taste that my ancestors were slaves let me tell you something my great-great grandmother was a slave and I remember her I met her and let me tell you something masters don't go out in the field and give slaves no money or anything else but God uses this illustration to say that's what I have done to you I have gifted you every single solitary person in this room has been gifted and in fact I want all the gifted people to give God a praise that's how you acknowledge that you know that you have been gifted you don't sit there with your legs crossed looking all cute and trying to be humble and not acknowledge that you receive the gift hate to give people gifts that don't act like it's a big deal when I give you a gift when I give you a gift I want a reaction I want you to shout [Applause] and the Bible says said once he had gifted them he didn't give them the same now understand this and to one he gave five talents and to the other one he gave two and to the other one he gave one you to one he gave five and to another one he gave two and to the other one he gave one three different slaves three different amounts all different amounts given the different people the one who had five looked at the one who had two said mine didn't look like your wasn't one of their to look at wonderful one they said it's the same thing but but all of them had been gifted I learned something about God God is not fair none it's not fair I can tell by the way that brother just sung a minute ago but it's not for you to sing like that it's not fair you know some of y'all sound like a bunch of cats stabbed in the neck when you say I don't mean that in an offensive way I mean that in the most polite possible way you do not have the Ministry of music you make a joyful noise but make it to the Lord because we do not want to hear you do God is not fair but he is just fair would be two for you two for you two for you two for you two for you that would be fair but just says I'm not worried about being fair the Bible said he gave them according to their ability blessed God I'm ready to shout I'm ready to shout because the Bible said God gave gifts the master gave gifts according to ability that he considered what I could handle before he gave it to me Lord don't give me a gift I can't handle Lord don't give me an opportunity I can't handle Lord don't give me an open door that I can't handle don't give me anything that's too hot for me or too great for me give me what I'm able to handle when they built this face they have a weight load specification they built it to handle or certain amount of weight now I'm pushing it to the limit tonight but they considered what it could handle before they put me up here that's why it's not good to be jealous of anybody because you might ask to be like somebody else and get something that you were not built to handle give me what I can handle I'll call y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you aren't you glad God considered your ability before he put something on you that drove your crazy gave you a nervous breakdown push you over the edge became too much for you every blessing is not a blessing and every success is not so except Joshua said God will give you good success if there's good successes gotta be bad success you don't want what other people have you want what God have for you and for what he gave five and to one he gave two and to the other one he gave one one guy's got five once got two ones got one each according to his ability the one thing they all had in common is what we have in common tonight they didn't have the same talents they didn't have the same amount but all three of them had an opportunity and tonight you may not have for the person next to you has you might not get to do what they can do you might not look like what they look like you may not have the resources you might not can play those guitars like those boys were playing the good part you may not can play those drums like they do you may not can speak like somebody can speak or sing like somebody can see or draw like somebody can draw or be like somebody else can Beal but the one thing we all have in common when we woke up this morning and we were not dead we woke up with an opportunity the brother who had 5b leniently went to work and said wool I got five but I see how he can be ten and he took what he had been given and turned it into something that's what every pastor wants on his staff he wants people on his staff if I hand you some work to do I don't want you to just hand it back to me like I gave it to you I want you to take it and turn it into something that's what you want that's what Moses got out of his staff Moses did miracles with his staff not because it was a stick but because it was able to turn into something and when I give you a job to do I want you to not just hold it like it is but turn it in the Sun what's your magic on it make it more than what it was when I handed it to you be fruitful turn that opportunity in the Sun turn that department into a home see how it could be 10 God Almighty brother number two says scuse me I see hiking before and brother number one see now you know when he come back he are all one take no chances and so the Bible said he was afraid and he hid his talent in the earth his mistake it's a mistake I've come to warn you of if you expose your fear you bury your talent you need to reverse it you need to bury your fear and expose your talents tonight I want to challenge you everybody has fear everybody has fear but you don't let your fear have you tonight if you're gonna do what God has called you to do you have got to reverse the process stop exposing your fear bury your fear up under the blood of the Cross and the word of Jesus Christ and lift up your talent and say this is the day that the Lord has made and when you switch that process demons tremble and hell gets nervous curses are broken and yokes are destroyed people are set free and your life is built over again do you have the courage somebody shout yes we God gives you an opportunity you need to work your magic on it and turn it in the Sun but the fire turned it into ten brother to turn it into four and brother one where he kind of messed up my story a little bit cuz he kind of just what had happened was he he never turned his opportunity into anything because of his fear and the Lord sent me to ask you a question what are you going to do with what he has given you what are you going to do with the life he has given you and the talent he has given you at that time he has given you and the influence he has given you and the gifts he has given you and the resources he has given you and the creativity he has given you what are you going to do with it what are you going to do there's somebody in the hospital wishing they could be where you are right now there's somebody on a breathing machine wishing they could be where you are right now but look at you I know you got some problems and I know you got some issues but you combed your own hair you got up out of the bed you brush your own teeth you dress yourself what are you going to do with what God has given you in a way the story goes on the master took the journey went into a far country and he came back when he came back he came back walked up the brother number five brother another five said hey I've been waiting on you to get back that's let me show you remember when he gave me fire Sam I'm bad he did that little Michael Jackson thing [Applause] brother number two said scuse me let me show you something Sam for I imagined in my mind brother number 10 looked at brother number four and said how can you be that happy about 4 I got 10 and you got for me brother number 4 if he had any sense with the tow brother number 10 I may not have this many issue hands but both of us have a hundred percent increase over where we started what I want you to see out of that is that God does not expect you to work with what he has not given you God is not holding you to somebody else's standard what God is holding you to is to work that thing on your level you can't sit around and say I wish I had more if I had more I'd do more with it no you don't have to give an account for what God gave me or God gave her or what God gave him you do have to give an account for what God has given you and rather than to compare yourself with somebody else you need to work that thing on your level somebody helped me in here touch somebody and say I'm ready to work that thing I'm ready to work that thing I'm ready to work that thing I'm ready to come up out of my fear and my bow in my worry I'm ready to work that thing I'm ready to work every day and every opportunity and every door he opens in fact touch three people say work that thing work that thing work that thing working work it in the mission fields work it in the church work it in the ministry work it in the music department work it in the children's ministry when you get back to your church work that thing it may not be big like this you may not have all the equipment like this you may not have a lighting system all you got is a flashlight but baby work that tag work that bang [Applause] Sally this fly I want to get you so fired up that held this nervous when you pull out of the parking lot I want the devil to get hiccups when you wake up out of the bed in the morning because with all your might and with all your strength according to what you have been given you need to work that thing 80 years old and you're still alive work that thing if you've got a wheelchair sprinting around in the floor and work that thing whatever God gave you this is your year [Applause] when you go to class what that bag [Applause] so the master came back so the story goes 5:22 tend to turn it in the floor brother once here I kept what she gave me I didn't put a spin on it I didn't make it better if God brings somebody in your life make them better if God gives you a talent make it better if God opens up a financial blessing don't just hold it in your hand make it better and so the master looked at me he got mad he said you should have put my money to the exchangers you should have done some of what I gave you you should have done something with every day you should have done something with every opportunity you should have done some with every day of your life you should have done something you stopped trying to play me I felt bad for brother 1 I'm just that kind of person I'm always for the underdog yeah I could have been Judas's lawyer and I said Lord this is not fair because when you read the text carefully you didn't tell brother five brother two or brother one to increase you never told me increase you gave them what you gave them and left you did not command them to increase so you're judging this brother kind of hard look if he you know brother hard life Lord we've been through a lot of stuff geez you've never told him the increase so no this is not about commandment it's about instinct do you have the instinct to increase oh my god you never commanded them to increase but you expected them to increase the kingdom of heaven will not command you to increase but he expects you take that's why sister fight be fruitful and multiply I expect you to take everything I gave you and give increase to what I've given you wait wait wait let me let me try to figure this out let me try to figure it out and I said in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established and then all of a sudden the Lord called ten witnesses out and he said do you remember the ten lepers they came before Jesus and me and Jesus says to the ten lepers go show yourself listen to this this is a command go show yourself to the priest and the Bible said that all ten of them started moving toward the priests but while they were headed to the priests one all of them look down and they begin to see that they were healed it's something that when you start walking in the word you get healing in your life you don't have to struggle you don't have to labor but the more you obey God the more his healing power operates in your life and as they were walking they all begin to experience the healing but one of them turned around and went back to Jesus and said Lord I just came to say thank you and Jesus looked at the one and said where are the nine and I said Lord you didn't tell him to come back you told him to go show thyself for the breathe he say yes but I put a instinct down inside of you that when you get your blessing I shouldn't have to tell you to praise me I shouldn't have to tell you to trust me you wanna have the so tonight you don't need anybody to tell you to praise the Lord you don't need all these fine equipment you don't need all of this sound system you don't need me you don't need singers or bronze or tambourines or bongos you need something down inside of you that says God has been so good to me that I cannot leave this place without giving him the highest praise [Applause] [Music] so what I'm gonna ask you to do for the next 30 seconds everybody who's got a gift [Applause] yes [Applause] yes [Applause] while you're over your life [Music] yes [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he sends brother one in now to darkness but to brother forward brother 10 he says well done good and faithful servant enter into the joys of that master I came to tell Hillsong there's about to be a shift because you've been faithful over a few things God is about to make you ruler over many and before I leave this stage tonight I want every born again baptized spirit-filled believer to turn around in a circle right now just turn right around in a circle God is about to turn things around [Applause] [Music] [Applause] twists tablets [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you see any slave can follow instructions obey rules but masters move by instinct Abraham take now that son not only son and offer him up if Abraham would obeyed that first command without listening for that next voice he would have slayed his son man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God [Music] are you walking in what God has said or are you walking in what God is saying [Applause] there is an instinct that causes you to bring in the harvest there is an instinct that tell the mother when it's time to have the baby there is an instinct that separates the good from the great it is not their intellect it is not what they read in the book it is not who you know it is the elephant is over there [Applause] [Music] when you leave when you leave this place go get your elephant [Applause] [Music] I want to pray tonight for unborn dreams for hopes that you can't quite touch yet I want to pray for people who have an unction on the inside that doesn't even fit your situation I want to pray for people that every time the devil says give up and die there's something inside of you saying all lives live [Applause] [Music] I want to pray for people that if we looked at your background you should have been a basket case you should have had a nervous breakdown and lost your mind but there's something in your gut in your heart in your spirit in your innermost being that said hold on that instinct that still small voice that push of God is about to turn your life around [Applause] [Music] you've been shouting because you survived you've been thinking God that you made it through your storm and your sorrows and your tears and your Midnight's you've been thinking God that he sustained you when all hell was breaking loose but I came to tell you that God didn't sustain you for you to stay where you are he sustained you because your best days are in front of you he's sustained you because he's about to take you into another dimension he sustained you before the end the purpose and a reason for your life and the devil wouldn't try to kill you if you weren't headed somewhere your elephant is over there [Applause] [Music] did you hear what I said [Applause] your elephant [Applause] it's over there [Music] did

zeal for God is coming back your harvest is about to break forth somebody's going to get financial breakthroughs you've been dealing with a tough time but God is saying increase even over your finances squeeze that hand you're holding I want you to know what a miracle feels like because the person you're holding in your hands is a miracle from God [Applause] you might not know their story and you might not know what they've been through but trust me they are a survivor you're planting a survivor tonight now God you wouldn't have taken us through all you took us through to leave the hunt without the elephant to build a church without souls to have a sermon without salvation to plow and not reap to sow and not harvest squeeze that hand God brought you to heal song to stir your instincts to show you where your elephant is your elephant is over there you're an effort is over there your elephant is over there father I pray in the name of Jesus of the anointing of the Holy Spirit would seize his place and touch it heal and deliver and set free that gifts would be stirred up that ideas and creativity would be stirred up that somebody would write that book that somebody would open that business that somebody would start that ministry that somebody would open up that shelter that somebody would go in the mission fields I pray Oh God right now in the name of Jesus that somebody would build that house that somebody would build that dream I pray right now in the name of Jesus somebody's about to record the glory of the is released in this price-squeeze that had the elephant god said the elephant [Music] it's over there it's over there it's over there it's over there it's over there don't stop until you find it because the elephant's prize [Applause] Oh somebody [Music] [Applause] [Applause] please be seated I got it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this is my last opportunity and pastor asked me with I challenge you in giving tonight in sewing and I thought yes Lord because when I get through preaching tonight somebody's about to go get that elephant somebody's about to reap that harvest somebody's about to see increase in their life somebody's about to step into another Dominion they're about to enter into the joys of the Lord you only ping-mei endure for a night but joy it's coming in the morning I know in one way entering into the joy that the Lord can be heaven but that doesn't mean you have to be in hell while you're waiting on it as we saw tonight there's been some things that God has done in its place this priceless the word that you've heard the yoke said have been broken I don't mean from me but these speakers who have come from all over the place they all know that maybe you don't know it do you know this is amazing do you know you got people flying through International Date lines to experience the glory that's in this place right now let me tell you something I don't care what university you went to preachers preach better up under the anointing singers sing better up under the anointing because when you're anointed the anointing takes you into a dimension that you couldn't get in by yourself it's the wind up under you that lifts you if if we preach better up under the anointing of sing or sing better up under the anointing what would happen if we give up under the anointing of the Holy Spirit I want to challenge you I believe the anointing of God is in this place I believe the anointing of God is in this place [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it would be ashamed for us to sit in this kind of anointing and this kind of glory and eat up these kind of blessings and get up and belch and walk away and not say Lord we have a responsibility to sow into the God that has sown into us we have a responsibility to sow in the direction that we are going we're not suing out of where we have been we are sowing in the direction of where we are going how many people in here are going somewhere I want you to sow into your vision into your dream and to the thing you have not touched yet I want you to sow into the invisible infallible immutable all you have to have is God's Word on it his word is good his word is absolutely they've got some cards I got to preaching them I might have thrown the card away I think the elephant ain't my car get these cards out and I want you to sell in the direction that you're going into the impulse and the prompting of the Holy Spirit I want you to sow into your elephant I want you to respond to the value of the holy spirit there's a couple of times I was sitting over there I receive so much word I just started weeping because when you I'm telling you a word for God is priceless I said a word from God is priceless I was wiping tears this morning I mean I was wiping tears I don't cry is is pedaling in front of people that hold up your images [Music] I tried to act like you know somebody was cutting onions but I didn't see no one I know the value of God's word kept me from dying kept me from collapsing stopped me from suicide birthed the ministry inside of it picked me up and turn me around if you know the value of the word if you've got a dream ahead of you that only God can help you to reach I want you to sow in the direction that you're going obey the prompting on the Holy Spirit these cards are available to you and while you're writing I'm praying father bless every scene we saw bless every man every pastor every business owner every writer every dreamer every student every scholar every teacher every missionary every person who has something in their heart some instinct some impulse some waiting dreams I'm waiting hope that they cannot do without you we so into it right now in the name of Jesus and we so mightily and yes Holy Spirit as you speak tonight we will say yes we will not debate we will not do what we have always done because if we do we will be where we have always been and we refuse to receive this word and go back to business as usual we break the curse of normalcy we break the curse of mediocrity we break that curse right now the name of Jesus yes Lord we will say yes to your prompting we will follow your voice in Jesus name Amen [Music] right the biggest check you can sow the seed the Holy Spirit spoke to you so in the direction that you are going because I declare unto you the elephant is over there [Applause]
