It Didn't Kill Me | Pastor Mike McClure Jr.

[Music] come on if you serve a good god somebody give God the best praise that you got look at your neighbor and say neighbor that's my practice praise I'm gonna take 15 seconds and praise God for every mountain he brought me over for every valley he took me through come on I need somebody who understands that if it had not been for the Lord who was on your side somebody shout like he's away maker like he's a miracle worker like he's opening door like he's moving mountains [Music] viago make me have choice at night look at somebody around you and say I want to warn you from the start I want to warn you I tend to praise God at any second look back at them and say why because I have a memory which means when I think [Applause] of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me somebody oughta praises [Music] listen I'm just so excited I'm so excited to be here man I'm maintenance there are there aren't many people God kind of takes you to a place where you meet people who you desire to meet and once you meet them you don't think you like them no more God has given me this opportunity to meet people who are heroes of mine then the moment I meet them I say I don't think I like that person because everybody my social media heads aren't who they posts to be get you catch what I just said but I want to say man when it comes to having an authentic integra man of God I thank God for this brother right here I mean it can you praise God for the best pastor come on now I mean [Applause] I want to be honest this ain't going this ain't I'm not leaving this here this is coming with me let me say this I was at a pastors conference about a year ago and my turn this feat was done and they looked at me and said we got to get you to the airport after three minutes of hearing him talk I said let's change my flight I need to hear some more what he got to say because favor ain't fair watch this but wisdom ain't free did you catch what I just said I thank God for 21st century Solomon somebody shout Amen so I honor you sir I thank God for you who came to get a word tonight anybody missing on behalf of my family I left my wife at home we have five kids so a seed help me pray for him paper we have five kids from twelve eleven ten four two four boys one girl so she packed her back this morning and said what we going I said you stay in here I got to do what God told me to do so no she sends her love do y'all stand for the reading of the word is that cool let's stand if you don't mind is that Alright grab your Bible go to Acts chapter 28 grab your Bible go to Acts chapter 28 [Music] move God Acts chapter 28 let's commence with verse 1 we'll stop around verse 5 once you got it shot I got it if you need a little time shout Lord help me if you're waiting on it to hit the screens they put it on the screen I thought my church was the only church without Bibles once we were safe on shore we learned that we were on an island called Malta the people of the island were very kind to us it was cold and rainy so they built us a fire on the shore to welcome us as Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was laying them on the fire a poisonous snake driven out by the heat bit him on the Hank and I'm pausing parenthetically to digress and suggest to somebody in this room be careful of snakes the people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other a murderer no doubt though he escaped the scene justice will not permit him to leave I see something that's worth talking about in this text already how do you show me love in verse two then talk about me in verse four I must speak this and whoever can receive it can't receive it this year give me some consistent people either love me or leave me a murderer no doubt though he escaped the sea justice has not allowed him to live I feel like having a little church verse 5 but Paul shook off the snake into the fire and and was on harm find one neighbor before you sit down and say neighbor our testimony at the brook is simply this it didn't kill me you may be seated in the Lord's house as we celebrate another year we want to testify that what the devil meant for evil God has already worked it for my good somebody shout it didn't kill me and the whole church said it was Zahra Neale Hurston who said and I quote if you're silent about your pain your enemies will kill you and say you enjoyed it in tonight's text we meet a brother who's in purpose but also in pain and I would like to suggest to you tonight that purpose and pain aren't mutually exclusive you can't have one without the other it was purposely dad David to the front line to fight Goliath but it was painful when your father didn't think you were good enough to be king it was purpose that made Joseph's dream and find favor on another level but it was painful watching your brother sell you into slavery it was purpose that made that perfect Palestinian Jew named Jesus look into a cup and suggest nevertheless thy will be done but it was painful enduring the crucifixion might I suggest to somebody at the brook tonight that if purpose pain was his death certificate purpose became my birth certificate that you can't shout over the power of the Resurrection until you grab sin totality the sovereignty of the crucifixion and I want to suggest that that may be the reason why the church is losing power because everybody want to live but don't nobody want to die and sadly we are conditioning a generation of Christians for celebration not suffering we are conditioning a new school of Christians for celebration not suffering meaning that we've teaching them how to shout on Sunday but we are not equipping them for when the devil comes knocking on their door on Wednesday and I may lose half the room right here but I gotta give it to you like I feel it praise without pain it's just a performance praise without pain it's just a performance anybody can throw their hands up and praise God when the bill is paid but I want to suggest you don't find out if you appraised until you have to praise them in the middle of something and I don't know who I'm preaching to early in this sermon that may be why fopen looking you up and down all night because the rate at which you praise God got them trying to figure out is a bill behind as a is a man tripping is your job acting funny no I'm not praising them I just realized if I'm going to be a troop raiser I have to confuse the confusion meaning if I only shout when I'm up the devil gonna catch my rhythm but I'm crazy enough to praise God when I got it and even when I don't I praise them when I'm up and I praise them when I'm down as a matter of fact look at your neighbor and say neighbor the devil can't figure me out if he wanted to coz I've learned how to praise God on such a consistent level that my momma dem can't even figure out what's going on with me because raised is what I when we tiptoe to the corridors up to night six we found ourselves situated and a culture rater and a pregnant passage we meet a brother named by the name of Paul and Paul is a cold brother he's going through an amalgam of emotions that are indicative of the human experience I like Paul Paul is a cold boy Paul be dropping knowledge that'll make you run round the church there are certain scriptures that you got to build a bridge of contemporize ation from the original audience that now properly harmonizing your Herman nudists with relevant home and let is making sure you dig the syntax and break it down complete but Paul said it ain't even got to be deep I've got scriptures that I can tell you how to make any believer shout Paul what's that and we know that God causes all things to work together for my good I said Paul before I go to South Carolina they gonna be like Birmingham because you can't tell me what to do until you give me your resume but when pray for me I'm funny like that I don't like taking constructive criticism from people who ain't constructed nothing I'm preaching that maybe why your circle frustrating you cuz time you don't tell me about my money when you own me some please i'ma stop him me but Paul Paul Paul Paul Paul Paul said Paul says Mike I need you to tell him my resume you know Paul he's been beating more times that we can remember Paul was the one who had the thorn place in his flesh Paul said let him know yeah yeah let him know I've been thrown in jail I've been beat let him know I pulled up in one city saw a girl being used as a fortune teller who should have been a prophetess I'll lose the demon of her life both got mad cuz I saved the right wrong people that may be why folk down like y'all Church out here cuz they don't mind church folk couldn't say but what you doin you saved the right wrong but Paul said I delivered her but the scripture says the people who were benefiting all her gift got mad so Paul said they beat me in my partner who's your partner Silas he said what did they do to you Paul I said Paul I can summarize what they did to you he says none of your business p.m. J I said they left you bruised beaten bloodied broken it is but breathing that that's a watch-night testimony right there bruised beaten broken bloodied but breathe they said let them know they threw me in jail but that ain't had a story in because I discovered and at midnight I may have Church Paul and Silas prayed and sing praises unto God so much so that immediately I'm gonna have Church with this side the Bible says the doors will open now your neighbor don't even understand who they sitting next to because the Bible said everybody in jail didn't shout it's there to folks shouted but everybody got an open door look down your row and say neighbor you ain't even got a shout tonight brought enough praise to open every door around me imma give you 30 seconds if you know this is your jumper open go us you are a brave look at your neighbors say neighbor I'm claiming by faith this is my season of open doors doors are opening on my job doors are opening in my career doors are opening for my family boss slit when your brings me tonight get ready for open door what Paul says everybody big shout Paul and Silas shout it but everybody got an open door but pray pray for me my problem with 21st century preaching is that we preach an incomplete gospel what does it incomplete gospel pmj the door opens so we shout about the open door but incomplete preaching leaves you at the open door because the Bible says the door open but when the God came back Paul says stop tripping we still here I'm in the wrong church I'm not trying to be funny but if I don't open for me I'm gonna walk through it but Paul said let them know at the brook that for you in this season every go God open ain't meant for you to walk out of here this goodness I said God I said God why you open that door then he said mite ain't open the door for Paul to leave I opened the door to prove the point to the people who locked him up that the only reason I'm here is because I want to be here that if I wanted to leave trust me boo-boo I could get out of this thing and ain't it crazy how people look at you and think just because you don't you can't if I wanted [Applause] yeah y'all gonna make me shot somebody shout doors are opening can i prophesy over three people that the last six months you've been going through a cycle God said because of the Seas you saw it tonight get ready come by the end of this year I'm opening a door that's gonna race on to pay your whip through somebody shot bars all goodness so Paul said let him know that's who I am so Paul said now that they understand the favor on my life tell them about Acts chapter 28 verse 1 Acts chapter 28 verse 1 is one of them scriptures that when it hits the screen if you got any type of Holy Ghost you're gonna feel this because acts 28 verse 1 says and when they have been brought safely through III thought that death then go like a plan did pastor in my head I was on the airplane I said it when I get to verse 1 I saw two ladies take out running I saw one man lift his hand I saw a book just pump his arms a couple times I cook you that when we have been brought safely oh oh I see hey no no no I see why you ain't shout I see why you ain't shout cuz you just like the folk in your life you didn't shout over his x28 cuz you don't know his acts 20:7 and ain't that just like people to hate on your now and I understand what you went through I'm in the wrong church he said Mike tell about my acts 20:7 and Acts chapter 27 Paul is a prisoner on boat they have him captive they're about to sail and Paul looks at the captain and says I perceive it is not wise for us to sail at this time what you know Paul you a prisoner sit down shut up they get halfway through and a storm breaks loose they throw-in stuff off the boat everybody panicking but while they're panicking in the storm I'm ahead shirts Paul gets a visitor my angel creeps up Nepal and says hey Paul stop trippin you got to stand trial in Rome so just know you gotta be there in a little while Paul looks at the captain of the ship it says I know y'all see the storm but stop trippin we're gonna make it the captain I'm paraphrasing looks at Paul and says what you mean we gonna make it you don't see the wind he said we're gonna make it you don't see the water we're gonna make it you don't see the storm we're gonna make it you don't see us throwing stuff off the boat we gonna make it what makes you so sure that's we gonna make it Paul says because while y'all was panicking I angel told me I've gotta stand trial and wrong what does that mean Paul y'all can't die cuz I'm on the boat everybody ain't gonna catch this but your family which treats you better if they realize the reasoning the whole family is blessed it because they connected to you I'm preaching to everybody but some of y'all got money some of y'all got power some of y'all got status but I got something you can't get from Walmart called favor Edwin babe a hit show life it ain't a devil in hell that can block [Applause] Paul sex y'all are gonna die cuz I'm on the boat now I got I got a fix you I got I got a pray for you because here's where pastors get a bad rep here's where pastors get a bad rep because Paul says y'all ain't gonna die cuz I'm on the boat then all of a sudden the next say the boat broke the pieces many of you are frustrated and don't even know it because you said in church at her pastor tell you it was your season but you left and went into a storm many of you sow seeds and page your tithe and thought the windows who are about to open and then all of a sudden you start losing stuff so can I ask you a question did Paul LA get your pastor life when he told you this was your year but you're still catching hell not Paul said Mike please letter no I didn't lie I said Paul I believe you're lying because you told them they were gonna make it but then the Bible says the broke boat broke into pieces Paul said I said we was gonna make it I never said the boat was gonna make it which means I said you coming out I never said your car was coming out and I want to suggest you happy yet to praise God till you praise them after you lost some stuff I'm not preaching to everybody but if you don't ever lost some stuff you need to give the devil a nervous breakdown cuz I may unlock my friends I may have lost my job but I didn't lose much [Music] [Applause] him give me give me so Paul boat breaks am i doing the right stuff boat breaks right boat breaks and the Bible says 276 people jump into the water I'm finna I'm from the hood so I'm gonna try to be dignified alright I'm gonna try to be dignified but the ghetto part of me pop out sometimes okay so I'm gonna be dignified but I'm just warning you - ghetto side of me make out because Paul and everybody 276 people jump off the boat in the water and the next line almost made me run around South Carolina cuz it says they made it to shore on pieces of the boat don't don't front but if this is fun you'd forget about who sitting next to you I want to thank God tonight that I made it off a broken pieces [Applause] I'm not preaching to everybody but if you ain't never had everything you needed at the time you needed it but God can't do in the nick of time shout that you made it don't walk it [Music] [Applause] Lucas your neighbor look at your neighbor look at your neighbor and say neighbor I got a problem cuz the only time I've seen somebody in the water on broken pieces what's the Titanic look at your neighbors say neighbor let me be very clear if it's one piece left and me and you together make room for me see I'm done with selfish people I need people in my life who ain't coming out come out as a matter of fact look at your neighbor and say neighbor I'm gonna praise God for your breakthrough you praise God for my breakthrough I'm a shout for your children you shop for my children I'm shopping for your promotions you shout for my promotion everything give me so I said don't be cute the water cold within your mind if I take my jacket off big with with end thank you Pastor within every miracle is a miracle you miss never forget I said that within every miracle there is a miracle you miss watch this watch this alright make that make sense TMJ wonder with the issue of blood bleeding 12 long years she crawls on the flow touches the HTM but because the HTM is connected to the h-i-m she gets free that deaf can preach that ain't even my sermon but if I had time I would tell you in certain seasons of my life well I can't get in touch with him but as long as I'm connected to something that's connected to that's why I love my church so much because there are days when you were at work and you didn't feel like you were connected to God but you'll stumble in the brook and because the book is connected to him so Pastor Mike what's the miracle she stopped bleeding yeah but being Jay what's the miracle within the miracle because if she bleeding that means she's leaking and no way in the text do I see what she cleaned up so that's that mic for some of you you're getting ready to walk into a season what the message you made I'm about pom pom pom what's the miracle can't you see Paul in the water holding on what's in the water cuz we're in the New Testament if we look at the Old Testament we realized there was a whale in the water there are things in the water that could ship him up Moses gets to the Red Sea stretches out his rod and the lure and the water takes up liquid legs they walk across on sovereign sidewalk the miracle is he made the ground hard but he also made the walls solid so what do we see pmj what was in the water that could have took him out and the text says now you see you why you should shout verse one because now he said and when he had been brought safely that one were safely is the indication that in the water was some trouble now now I know you don't want to be spooky but I'm gonna let you know how you prophesied your own breakthrough because whooping catching hell anybody who's went through something this year anybody let me show you how the depth and light line the power your tongue and you prophesied your own breakthrough you called your partner's here pray for me what's going on just pray cuz I'm going through y'all miss your shot you're slow but you're worth waiting on imma say it again you say hey girl what you're doing nothing at this job catching hail what you need me to do I'm good I just need you to pray for me why cuz I'm going through you never said you what's gonna stay you said I'm just going which means whatever you went through was temporary Russell Bob gets out the water he cold he wet and you still miss the miracle now still mr. miracle what you talking about pmj cuz romanian remember he was a prisoner so the enemy thought didn't even realize while God was breaking the boat he broke his chains cuz when he gets to shore he's walking around God sent me here to tell you you so busy crying over what you going through you don't even realize like Shadrach Meshach and Abednego the Firebird what had you ain't go burn you Russell gets other boat and the natives the text says the natives sodium natives which means foreigners they don't speak the same language don't know who they are people who ain't at the church and I came to speak to the brook because God said there's some supernatural increase coming to y'all Church huh but like a prophet God sent me here to kill something because it's gonna be some people who walk through that door went cold see we don't smelling like we skirt too short the text says no we're in the scripture do the natives action what happened pray for me if it was me first thing I would have said is where your boat second thing I would have said is we'll know y'all like that third thing I would have said was get the spheres because how we don't know they come in and take our land but the natives were so secure in their position that when they saw somebody hurry Russian Russian Russian Russian it says the natives showed him extraordinary kindness I like that particular text because it doesn't tell me who's the leader if the only way you can operate is with a title your demonic free 3mj if you need a title to harm people you're not authentic if you need a stage to preach you're not a real minister because wherever you go you can let people feel the life [Applause] the natives the natives see him and what what do I need you to do what do I need you to do listen to your boy I need you that every time you come to church and every time you go to work and every time you go to the mall I need you to be looking for what you used to look like also you saved not huh you say don't see the problem with half of y'all is you fell in love with your lamb and forgot your beat what that mean pmj I am save but I used to be a hot mess yeah I am somebody's husband I am somebody's wife but I used to be with summer everybody I am giving them glory but I used to be dropping it like it was hot and the reason I'm praising God is not because of who I am I remember who I use [Applause] hostile natives natives natives [Applause] hmmm yes they built him a fire you want to know what I need in my life I'm heaven so I need some people who can practice the art of intercession trustus without information and without an invitation those were bars wooden that was kind of dope running bars that was good I think I'll say that thing again I need somebody who will practice the art of intercession without an invitation and without some information make that make sense watch this I need somebody who gonna pray for me and don't have to know what's going on to play with me and ain't gotta ask you to pray for me and they said they built him a fire but then I see something to text that's worth shouting about because they build the fire but then Paulo the next group says but Paul grabbed a bundle of sticks it started trying to help with the fire now that messed me up because I couldn't understand because I'm one of those type of people and if you cook and I'm not going to naturally just come in there and start cooking - I'm gonna sit there and I'm a way for it to come but Paul says none like you missed it think deeper I said what do you mean he said elements are euphemism or metaphor for spiritual things I said Paul Paul Paul that talented hit maker from Tarsus who tend to lay suspect of theology Paul what are you telling me Paul said well buyer is synonymous watch this water is synonymous with baptism holy spirit rebirth I said okay cool water baptism Holy Spirit rebirth I said what does that mean Paul he says when you baptized you born again you are dipped in water he said when a woman is about to have a baby baby can't come to the water break I said can I take it a step further Paul he said take it a step further Paul I said so award is an indication that something is about to give birth to what happens when I cry he said I'm glad you say that because sometimes God takes you through stuff debris tears because that ain't nothing but what water synonymous with the Holy Spirit when when synonymous with the rule or the breath of God you remember in the book of Genesis he's standing there and he says okay I just made the whole world and I need somebody to Rudy to have dominion he says what we gonna do he said ooh we gonna do I can't let the donkeys do it because they gonna be who they are I can't let monkeys do it because they too wild I need a leader I need a leader he says let us make man he grabs dirt but then he realized his dirt is too good he says cuz if I make you from dirt then all of a sudden you're gonna think you better than you are so in my movie he said I'm gonna make you from the dust of the earth he throws up dirt snatch his dust out of dirt that's my movie I'm preaching it can be my movie okay he throws up dirt boom grab grabs does okay grabs does it was that beautiful theologian who said he said let us make man human man humans man man is spirit dirt is human all right so dirt the word for dirt is humans the word for spirit is man he said let us make humans man that became too complicated so over the years we don't call myself hilma's man we call ourselves human which is spirit wrapped in dirt preach P&J which is why within you every now and then people keep calling you holy butt cave understand why you keep having dirty moments yato on it so he blows he says let us make man he makes man in dirt boom boom he molds him boom boom boom he says okay he about ready to breathe and he Rua when breath of God so if water is synonymous with the holy spirit air it's synonymous with the rule I've got is synonymous with praise Pastor Mike that's a reach right there that's the ISO jet achill statement how can you say fire is synonymous with praise because I'm just tripping because last time I got shank Jeremiah got tired of his church and said ain't preaching no mo ain't coming no mo I keep showing up the Bible study and y'all don't want to come how is it I got three services and they can't get in the building but then I can't even feel it for Bible study how come everybody want me to help the city but don't nobody want to give to it how come you got all the answers but don't want to get into it to help me do it why are y'all keep asking me to do stuff Jeremiah walking around weeping he crying he frustrated cuz he pregnant with vision but it keeps being aborted by lack he's maxed and all of a sudden pastor Jeremiah says you know what I'm sick of this I'm preaching to myself now I'm sick of doing the impossible for the ungrateful I'm sick of trying to vote more for people then I can work for myself I'm sick of pushing you to your destiny but when I need somebody to lean on you ain't that for me Jeremiah said I'm not gonna preach no more I'm not I'm not say his I'm not gonna say his name but it's like fire help me Mike shut up in my boat in other words what is praised play this so powerful that even when you think you don't want to it'll just come up out it praise Shadrach Meshach and Abednego I told if you're gonna worship we need you to worship this golden image they are thrown in a fiery furnace not for stealing but refusing to worship the way they were told they had to worship Nebuchadnezzar becomes confused because he says why is it I'll put them in the fiery furnace the same way I put everybody else in the fiery furnace but why did they come out and everybody else didn't come out because he didn't realize when you put fire in fire Paul not unlike me Paul gets off the boat sees them building a fire and Paul had to go to the brook coz Paul said wait a minute after the storm I just survived don't nobody gotta build a fire for me I'm crazy enough to praise God but myself and he picks up can I have some drumsticks please brother he picks up he picks up thank you so much he picks up some sticks and walks over to the fire gets to the fire oh and a snake jumps out the sticks y'all missed it I back that thing up and give it to you again a viper came out watch this because of the heat which means I'm finna precip trigger the snake was already in his life God just had to turn up the heat in your life to expose the slate and some of y'all think you catchin hail because you did something wrong God sets your Hayling about you it's about me exposing the wrong people paul am i doing i gets bit not for living wrong paul got bit for doing right I want to speak to somebody in this room because your theological construct is being ruined because people have convinced you that the only time you get tested is when you live the wrong so now if you catch hell people trying to figure out who you slept with if you catch Heil maybe you're not tithing sometimes I want to suggest to you that when hail comes into your life you're either joke or Peter make that make sense either you get recommended or something gets released you miss what I just said now Paul Paul pleased to have you consider Paul walks over to the heat says oh I see something in the text that's the young useless pastor that's on the spot revelation because if the fire is already going I'm kind of free 17 yeah it means he walked up put sticks on it another lady walked up put sticks on it 20 other people walked up put sticks on it God let Mike how come they can do it and don't get bit but the moment I do it something go wrong God said because you got a level of anointing they don't care which is why you gotta stop hanging with people who ain't anointed on the level somebody shall yes [Applause] this is a public service announcement from the South Carolina Broadcasting System please be careful if you hang with people who are anointed cuz snakes sometimes get close to us and you will mess around and get bit cuz he was trying to bite me if you can't ride with me when the heat process he gets the sticks ah and he get bit I got a free I got it for you if I get in trouble right here pastor I just just whooped me in the back is that okay I want you to repent to your pastor I don't even know what's going on but I want to say that I feel God leave me to this because some of y'all be seeing snakes around him but then you judge him you say stuff like he don't see that's a snake or you see different leaders and people on the plane and all of a sudden you'd be like nah why they letting them do that they can't tell that's a snake you don't even realize I want you to catch this when you are a shepherd watch this this is where every person who's anointed have you ever stopped to consider that your oil sometimes works for everybody but you holy spirit convicted me I got mad about six months ago cuz I got bit and I said Holy Spirit this don't make no sense how did I promise I sent my best friend to watch somebody how did I let three other people I know not watch somebody but then I couldn't see him he said Michael is real simple because the apples on the tree the tree don't eat have you ever stopped to consider apples apple trees don't eat apples but they grow them cuz what does on the tree ain't for the tree it's for the people who come Bob y'all miss what I just said so sometimes Mike if I allow you to see all your stuff you'll never grow from nothing so he says watch this so pastor pastor pastor you didn't see them how you mess around and God did let me free you were quickly whenever snakes are placed in damp environments to maintain what they need to survive they stricken mayn't meaning that snakes when placed in environments that aren't conducive to who they are to save energy and heat they they stricken so Paul help me God picked up a snake that he thought was a stick and I want to tell you live long enough you gonna deal with two types of people sticks and snakes I'm preaching this huh special night who never dealt with a snake that you thought was a stake pastor what's the stick sticks for support when I told my ACL about nine years ago I went to my pastor I'm sorry till my doctor and my doctor recommended some sticks I'm sorry some crutches he says since you can't get yourself where you're trying to go I'm gonna put a stick I'm sorry crutches in your life because sticks are so selfless that they will do whatever it take to get you where you're trying to go it's some sticks in here tonight we'll be praying for folk who you know Nasty's need it some sticks in here tonight who be dreaming dreams bigger for people than they dream for they sell how do you know you a stick because you promote for them do you play for you every stick oughta jump up and shout Lord top of my life so I can be what [Applause] six sticks of sticks up for support but pastor sticks are also for defense hear me I was walking another day I probably dropped in the last six months seventy pounds right so I'm walking in the morning time and in my neighborhood there's a lot of elderly people and I noticed they was walking with these things so so so y'all already see where I'm going don't you and I'm cracking on them I'm walking with my wife life look at them fools with that stick thing from the hood we had dogs in the hood they don't know what they need no sticks and I'm just walking well the other day lady says baby it's on you today I got it go to the school I said cool I'm walking and I hear something in the bushes all of a sudden this deer comes running out the woods I'm wide open but all the man looked at me and said well my stick [Applause] leave Logan up I need somebody in my life that was stuff come for me [Applause] look at your neighbors say I'm say but I fight which made the devil come to your house i'ma being a senior walked out for you slap seven people are hot Bob and shot a mistake [Music] [Applause] i'ma see here me I'm a fine now who was thick you can mess with me all you want to don't put your mouth on my church don't put your mouth on my pasta cuz if it would but it's shirts in that man I would have took your man six months ago I would arrived you 2 years ago but God turn my life I see snakes sticks pastor might let me free you cuz what do I do give me four minutes with only pasta might what do i do what do i do because i ain't trying to be funny how i'ma find out if they are stick or slate because snakes are sneaky snakes youth snakes don't hiss no more they say stuff like I'm praying for you snakes say stuff like you can count on me oh here's a good one snakes say stuff like this just between us y'all miss what I just said give me hear me which is why I'm trying to teach my church and I'll share with you that most of my members I said this and they walked up to me and repented I said thousands of people come to our church but Holy Spirit is revealing to me that many of you are Mirage members they said pastor what's the Mirage member I said I see you in the crowd when I'm a preaching so it looked like you in the room but then when I come upon you to draw from you I realize you just an illusion priest pmj so like a man in the desert who's thirsty for water I see you from a distance but whenever I need to actually pull something from you so personal Mike what do I do because I got people in my life now who I'm questioning I got some folk in my life now who as you preach it my hair going off like oh let me freezing who only know how to find out if they a snake or a stick come I ask that again who want to know how to find out you find out if they a snake or a stake by putting them in the fire I'm gonna give you some homework this week when they call say no I can't do that cuz if you only with me for my yes and you can't stick with me wouldn't know and Paul Paul gets bit I'm done Paul gets bit and nowhere in the text does Paul leaders ever emote Noah in the scripture does Paul ever emote there is no way stick again about but whatever it is the Bible is what God wanted us to have nowhere in the scripture does Paul ever says testa Mike they don't put emotions in the Bible why do you think when Jesus being crucified he'll tell us how lest I which means it is finished he yelled out that was an emotion of completion he says no no in the scripture he gets bit I love her here ah the scripture does not say he's bit and he let out a loud scream Pastor Mike get up screaming the Bible I remember the New Testament that was a man in the tombs and they said every night he would he yell and scream so if there is emotion in the New Testament why is it omitted right here because God said Mike I want you to tell every leader in church that the reason some of you keep failing is because you too busy being emotional [Applause] if you gonna help people get ready to get big God said I need you to get bit and be quiet preach pmj know if you can't be quiet the reason you're emotional is because what you've been saying you've been doing behind closed doors ain't authentic see the reason you fast and pray before the storm is so do people my clothes in the middle of the star Russia's watch it watch this and in the Bible says everybody looks at Paul because the scripture says they started watching him waiting on him to die I'm trying not to have Church but I'm just a little Baptist boy from Birmingham and I want to suggest that but eight years fopen watching and wait you're one they said it's acute in the church but ain't nobody gonna go down here to young Dan even got no build and it's cool in the game wait and hear three I've heard is a couple people over there but it's just a sway oh it ain't growth you know if you hit your arm on a bucket it a swell that ain't broke your six yeah they don't renovated and got some other stuff all in schools and other stuff and they paying stuff off and I heard he looking good and everything hey you know half our members open up Adele feedback it ain't gonna work yeah a and we still ain't come to preach to everybody but everybody who can tell the devil yeah hit me with your best shot I'm gonna walk over to five people and shot it big [Music] [Applause] I got five pages of notes but I feel appraised great right here I need three yata just Buster 360 and when your neighbor actually what you're doing tell him I'm showing you a favor look like I'm showing you a piece look like I'm showing you a prosperity look like shot it yes yes is there anybody here who dumped in the hell and back and you still got your charm you still got your peace and you still got your right mind take your neighbor [Music] [Applause] because the Bible says that everybody was watching while he had a snake fastened to with him and Paul said I gotta do something to show everybody who's watching what type of man that I am don't ever forget that the natives are watching don't ever forget his captives are watching the folk who put them in Chains are walking and he looks at them and says y'all over there laughing at me but if your chains couldn't keep me this snake ain't gonna hold it is there anybody here who got some stuff that's holding you you got some debt that's trying to kill you huh you got a pass that's trying to break you you got soul ties that's trying to take you out but look at your neighbor and say neighbor I'm getting ready to give the devil a nervous breakdown but I need you to hold my hand I said I need you to hold my head but I'm not sure if you got enough faith enough courage huh so do like I do say neighbor hold my hand and squeeze my hand cuz I'm about to shake your hand and imma shake shake shake shake [Applause] [Music] [Music] it's turn it around for my goodness and go for the life but Wow [Music] nobody's able [Applause] [Applause] okay to preach the seven people who in church tonight and watching online hold it on cuz anybody can show when it's off of them it takes another level of faith to serve when it's still on your head it takes another level of faith to thank God when it's still eating at you it takes another level of faith the time when that be or eating your account I need a real worship tonight because God says when your worship tonight whatever is trying to destroy you I'm getting ready to remove it I'm giving you 60 seconds open up your mouth it I don't hit nobody I don't hear nobody worship like whatever it is can't help your children worship like your job is stress-free worship like the deal is already at night [Music] and stand on your feet watch these he bit did you know within venom is neurotoxins and hemo toxins neurotoxins attack your nervous system which makes it difficult to breathe there's somebody in this room tonight life taking your breath away I didn't come as a celebrity preacher you don't know me just a young kid from Birmingham Alabama who about 24 was bankrupt twice living in an extended-stay rolling quarters every Friday to pay forward me in my way I know what is life for life to take your breath away I know what it's like to get that phone call that can just take your win I know what it's like for your wife to call you and literally say might come pick me up from work I can't baby what you got going on I came out here my car gone I'm on the way how long the way I know what it's like to be pregnant with vision but it keeps being aborted by lap to ride around town looking at empty buildings saying man if I had the money then six months later you see somebody renovating his life [Music] neurotoxins invade the nervous system which causes heart failure and whenever your heart goes out it doesn't pump the blood where it needs to be and Garcia's mic for every person who've been bit who dealing with heart complications and breathing failures here's the antidote let not their heart be true believe in God believe also in me in my father's house but then it also has hemo toxins which caused dexterity of limbs which means that the snake bites a big animal once he mo toxins into it causes paralysis can answer your question some of you bidding don't even know it how do I know I'm BPM J cuz you can't pinpoint when you stop you've been saying stuff like stuff happened to you now you sound numb I'm so used to people doing me dirty it don't even affect me no you big but then I see something in scripture that's powerful because Paul says I shook off the snake and to bury people who said I must have been a murderer and the next verse says surely this man is a God I want to say this for seven people who dealing with an attack on your life right now God says the reason the intensity of the attack on your life is so hard it's because I'm changing the narrative about who you are folk who saw you in one season gonna see you in a completely different light in the next season and hear me but here's the point I'm gone some time later in this verse a man gets sick and the Bible says write that Paul lays his hand on a man why pmj because sometimes your misery becomes your ministry and your pain becomes your reason for living I didn't come from everybody tonight I came for a couple of you who I honest enough to meet you to admit you been bit but you got enough courage enough to say but it ain't gonna kill me I need somebody to bum-rush this altar right there and say God I'm bringing it to you up come on I need you to say God I'm bringing it's me I don't know who I'm talking to I need somebody to bum-rush this altar and say God I believe you're still doing miracles I I believe that this won't break me I I wish I had a worshiper who can declare what the devil meant for evil God is getting ready to work it for my good [Music] every minute [Music] everything in me want to lay hands on you tonight but I'm not because what do we see in the scripture pastor Paul survives the snake bite without assistance I want to say this to you what God is bringing you out in this season you may have to do from isolation give me when I say this so I need your hands lift it right there you are and I need you talking to God about your situation I need you talking about about what it is you need him to move alpha Yolo come on I need you talking if I got any prayer warriors I need your praying eight years a favor eight years of peace eight years of prosperity eight years of management eight years of integrity souls are being saved every day I need you praying Lord what you're doing for my church do for me and stop fighting tears let that water break let the devil realize what the devil meant for evil God is working it by my what I believe that hits Muffy's Annamma she cannot believe that it's much [Music] Hey and I can feel it what do you feel pastor might that break the rules in the room I don't know who heard that right there I'm gonna say it again say I can feel somebody say playthroughs in the room break rules in the room we gonna say it again I'd say to lift your hand and say somebody say break loose [Music] say I'm anticipating [Music] that God's getting ready to move can we prop us out over your life tonight it says for I know that God is word for miracle your hand like this and it's gonna piece God said you did not go through all that for something small clucks five people to tell them for you it's gonna be I'm in the wrong church tonight if you know the blessing
