It's A Trap | Overcoming Ordinary Series | Pastor Keion Henderson

[Music] and today's message is only for people who fed up fed up this just holler at me every time good people don't change into hurting until remaining the same hurts too bad yeah people change when staying the same hurts and when it hurt bad enough you'll say bye-bye [Music] Bible says I've been well acquainted with grief by the time you get tired of pain being a guest in your home you say you ain't got to go home but you how dare you tell depression you ain't got to go home let you live got to get I'm saved out of here I'm safe when I'm in church you got to get out of here Genesis 35 Genesis chapter 35 no you know what 37 my apologies Genesis chapter 37 verse 5 Genesis 37 verse 5 Genesis 37 verse 5 the Bible says and Joseph dreamed a dream and he told it to his brothers big mistake and he thought that because they were closer to him that they were on the need-to-know basis and sometimes people who are close to you don't need to know and they hated him the more so they don't they not haters say let me let me tell you about a hater haters don't hate you they hate what they think you are and anytime you have enough courage to become what they think you are then you get more haters but you got to be well-acquainted with that you got to be fine with that this is just this is just the next stage of your life you used to be popular and now you're gonna be famous and that's the difference you used to come to the family reunion and everybody was like oh look at who's here and now you comin looking down your nose she thinks she bet it and that's don't she know you think I'm better than you because if I thought I was better than you I wouldn't be here and I did not run this hard to stay in place I went through all of that so I could change you know people say you changed it you right I am I didn't go through all I went through to stay the same I'm changing somebody say I'm changing whenever you are in an environment that challenges your growth you are in danger because the environment wants you to stay the same which is why I'm going to preach on this subject I need you to help me preach you tell your neighbor it's a trap you may be seated in the presence of the Lord it's a trap it's a trap it's a trap write this down and I'm gonna teach this to you today is that all right write this down the moment you decide to walk away from ordinary and I'm gonna repeat it at several times so don't don't panic the moment you decide to walk away from ordinary the less familiar you become with yourself the moment you decide to walk away from ordinary the less familiar you are with yourself you need me say it again okay last time the moment you decide to walk away from ordinary the less familiar you are with yourself in other words if you feel that you've walked away from ordinary or you're going to the next level haven't you started to question yourself and and be unsure if you're honest kind of unsure about some of the moves you're making nobody will ever know it but you've been questioning yourself and you've been doubting yourself but but we all have become good at persona so we step out like we are bold but after we finish we retreat to insecurity there are times I stand on this stage and I go home and think Lord that was the worst sermon I've ever preached in my life and then somebody will text me and say you changed my life and I have this constant battle between what I think is good and what's acceptable and what's good and was needed because our life trains us that good always gives us a certain response but the higher you go don't you ever forget them when I'm getting old Lord thank you the higher you go the more diversified responses can be did you hear what I said all right instance if you give a two-year-old baby some candy they are all gonna respond the same I was watching Nick son the other day and they gave him some donuts or something and the boy bit into the doughnut and it was his first time having that much sugar and let me tell you this is the God's honest truth that boy kept moving his mouth every time he saw a doughnut this happened just in the back last week he bit that doughnut they took him over there to where the donors were and this is what he did all kids have the same reaction the candy and sweets but how many adults in here don't too much care for sweets see now how many of you all like me I start thinking about my dessert before I eat my food my wife beat uncooked I said so what we eat after this I eat dessert after every meal I don't care if it's one skittle I will eat one skittle just to have something after this is the guys on his truth I wanna I want some kind of cupcake Lord and I don't like chocolate no I want some strawberry and some pineapples anyway but the the message is that if I were to ask the question who wants candy in the you Church everybody hands would went up if I actually question in the main sanctuary where the adults are some say yes some say no why because the higher you go the more diversified responses you see whenever everybody in your crowd wants the same thing your low high-minded high circles of people bring diversity diversity is important that's what makes America great because we have all kinds of people anything that's great has to be diversified and and and so here we are looking in the scripture and and now Josef's responses have become diversify because when he was a little cute baby and he was they loved brother and they were beating him up on the playground and they were playing with him he was their guy but then God elevated them y'all were here with me Tuesday right God elevated him and did what gave him a coat of what many colors now his brothers they had a white coat it was elbow length needling and it was white Joseph had a coat of many colors long sleeve all the way down to the ankle so there is something on him that makes the people around him recognize that you don't have on you what we have on us and the reason why you can't see this is because God and the Spirit has put a garment on you and you don't know it and you don't recognize that every time you walk into place that people see you have something on you that they don't have on them and you're wondering what's wrong with them why they treated me like this why are they acting that way towards me I'm just trying to be nice I'm trying to show myself friendly it's not about what you're showing yourself it's about what God put on you that you didn't see and I want you to know that sitting in that chair right now you have something on you that nobody else has on them you have something on you that nobody else has on them and never be jealous of anybody else's coat because God has one specifically for you you see I was telling you about my my brother Pete and how we wore the same shoes but do you know once I got above a ten I could no longer wear his shoes so what if I would have thought his shoes were my shoes then I were too restricted myself to attend yeah y'all can I told you I wanted to teach you today I want to hoop you I don't want to shout you if I would have accepted his size as my size then I would have restricted myself to attend and by the way then restricted my growth because I couldn't be six four with a size ten I have to have a foundation that can handle the height see every time every time you make a decision down here you can hurt what's up here don't settle for ten because it fits now God has something bigger for you God has something wider for you he has something deeper for you and you got to understand that the time is going to come where you're going to outgrow the exchange god help me in this place you're gonna outgrow what they can give you you're going to outgrow what they can let you borrow you're going to outgrow what they can teach you and then you're going to go out here you gonna have to teach yourself and you're gonna have to learn for yourself and you're gonna have to expand for yourself why because you're no longer the same size somebody say I'm no longer the same size that's why you don't fit in anymore because they are the same size and you're not you don't think the same and they still do they still drinking you trying to use that money to invest it's it's the same stuff now y'all they gonna make me get that from no don't act like you've never gotten to a season where you used to spend money on alcohol and used to spin it on cigarettes and you spend it on a little dime bag but then God drew you to a place and you say you know what I'm done smoking I'm done drinking I'm tired of wasting my I own this stuff I'm getting ready to reinvest it touch don't ever say you too why you set up to act and fake you could pay your rent if you didn't have it all on the counter Hennessey ain't cheap y'all be shocked at some of the stuff I say I'd be shocked asunder stuff you do if you weren't doing it I wouldn't happen under preach about don't y'all look at me like I'm just making this stuff up who is expanding you expanding so much that when you come to church you're gonna need both seats on both sides tell you maybe the last son you gonna be two sitting next to me I'm gonna be so big when I get hit next time I take up this one that one and the one behind me I'm expanding I'm gonna need all this people who grow frustrate people who don't ain't nothing like dating somebody and walking in the house and all of a sudden getting the Epiphany I'm growing in you not there's nothing worse than being in a friendship with somebody who's growing in somebody who's not it's one of the worst feelings in the world for you to be going higher and everybody else is going lower and sometimes you feel like you know what I'm supposed to save them but do you die trying to save them do you give up your growth for somebody who don't want to grow you have to expand Joseph said listen I am no longer on the same level as y'all I finally realize it and it is what it is I didn't ask for the coat I didn't ask for God my daddy to change the color I didn't ask for it he gave it to me the Bible says he was the son of Joseph Jacobs what old age when the Bible says that he was the son of his old age I told you this before it doesn't mean although he was 91 he had him when he had him it doesn't mean that he made him his favorite son because he was already had him you know why because he had another son named Benjamin after that so it could not be he was even older when Benjamin was born the difference between Joseph and Levi and Reuben and Neff to lie and bid all of those got the difference between all of those guys and him was he was wiser than the rest of them the Bible says wisdom is the principal thing wisdom is the principal thing he was the son of his old age in other words he's saying you're the only son I got this mature enough to handle the cope you you are a young boy but you got an old spirit yo yo yo sup my other boys they like drink but you like Ron Isley you see you see yeah I'm trying to make y'all understand what I'm saying how many young folks here that know their old school music ain't none like it ain't nothing like it now I like all this new stuff but when times get tough and I feel like crying ain't nothing new to listen to I got to put Luther in there y'all know what I'm talking about I like new music I love it all it's good it's good to dance too it's good to get crunk too it's good to be lit but when you got to get over something you got to go back to and get old Marvin and oh ow you got to go back and get the temptations come on y'all and so so so he says I'm I'm not on the same level I understand it I'm a lot mature than you all and I'm not going to continue to act immature to fit in can I tell you all something can you stop acting a certain way so you can fit in with people you're nothing like you stop changing your behavior so that they will accept you just listen if you live up to the standard God put on you another circle will find you you might be lonely for a season but God will send you somebody who's compatible with your destiny whenever you are around people who you're not compatible with it's the reason you never get downloads did you hear what I said everybody here who got a iphone check it out the rest of you prayer meeting is after service [Applause] who don't have a iphone just raise your hand if you don't god riding on the name of Jesus nobody told us the road was gonna be easy but you didn't bring him this far yeah I shot that guy he didn't bring him this far to leave him I want you to go to your settings go to general about and I want you to tell me what version of iOS you're running who said 11 one who said 11 - who said 11 3 who said 11 4 look at how many people you're sitting next to your incompatible with because watch this listen to me 11:4 fix some of the books from eleven one two and three and you got people in your life complaining about bulbs you don't understand cuz you ain't on that system I don't have an answer for you because I'm not operating that low I don't have an answer for you because I've been done with that three systems ago I don't know what to tell you because I am grown I'm at the next level and I don't have nothing for you what they call the birth you call it upgrade what they call depressing you call the past what they call a problem you call strength what they call an issue you call it more than enough you don't even see the world the same so you married somebody on the 11 for problem in our houses we got androids and apples and we trying to give somebody instructions on a system that it doesn't work on am i helping anybody so far number one you cannot explain your privilege I don't know why I got this coat I don't know why I've been chosen to be one of the greatest business women in the city I don't know why I've been chosen to be one of the greatest businessman I don't know why they picked me to be the manager I don't know why I can just think of stuff I don't know why I can get along with people I don't know why I have the vernacular to talk across cultural lines I don't know why I can understand I don't know why he made me that way and here you are explaining something that God gave you before you were formed and you're trying to make everybody understand well and and this is what what worked why you're killing yourself you're doing it at the expense of trying to be liked you'll never have a purple coat and a lot of people to like you if you won't friends keep your coat white short and elbow length but if you ever expand god help me in this first y'all got to put out you know you're posed to put all this stuff together whenever you expand whenever things started happening for you then the side effects of expansion is expulsion the more you grow the more you stretch the more you do the more you see the less you'll have in the area of accommodations and people and understanding Joseph God did this he said I had a dream and when I went to sleep I saw bundles of sheaves this is wheat and it was bowing to me and God told me that y'all was too weak so get the bow in and they like boy are you crazy ain't bowing nobody younger than me which let me know God's gonna allow you to do it before anybody you've ever seen do it you better get ready to be the first in your family to do what you're doing I'm looking at some first-generation millionaires I'm looking at some first-generation people who gonna raise all your kids come on I'm looking at some first-generation young women you not gonna have a baby till you get married I'm looking at some first generation of people who gonna stay married and not get divorced Who am I talking to matter of fact do me a favor and high-five three people say God called me to break a curse God called me to end something in my family God called me to over do something over turn something them in fact I don't have a reference point I don't know how I'm gonna do it don't know where it's coming from but I know it's gonna end in my generation because God put that kind of oil on me if I'm talking to you shout hallelujah [Applause] it's gonna get tough though I think the devil just gonna let you break a curse without a fight you think he's gonna let you come and undo something that's been on your last name for 35 years without a fight and sometimes when the devil fights you since he can't get to you because you pray and you fast he'll go get your third grader come on y'all you'll go get some middle schooler he'll go get your high schooler he'll go get your college grad cuz you are too fortified for an attack that's why you got to cover everything in your house you got to cover your children your husband your dog your doorknobs or a log clock somebody shout I shall recover it all [Applause] walk through your house covered in the name of Jesus covered cover when your baby in in the bed and that I date it takes them all and just y'all not here with me you got to put the oil on the doorpost Thank You Israel so the death angel will pass over put it on your doorknob put it on your microwave put it on your windows put it on your tires put it on your steering wheel and put it on your mouth so you can speak blessed [Applause] because you are not ordinary and you are not average and whoever told you us that you were we're trying to trap you reason why people keep you in ordinary is because they have no instructions for extraordinary and they don't want to lose you so they'd rather keep you beneath them oh god help me in this church they'd rather keep you beneath them so they can understand you rather than you have a dream and tell them I had a dream and you were bowing and you were picked and that's all it is to it like anybody like you flying so far like coming y'all [Applause] and if you don't start to see yourself like that nobody else will I'm not telling you to be arrogant I'm telling you to see what he created why be a Ferrari why be a Ferrari and keep driving 40 miles per hour but test yourself sometime push that engine just to see if you can whip around somebody in the second or two I'm not saying keep your foot on the gas the whole way but just let him know try me if you want to now how many y'all to be honest how many of y'all race sometimes they come up beside you I bought if my wife with me I don't do it but I see a with me I see them coming to a my Rivia blare oh they want some alright let's go you can't explain your privilege you don't know why he bless you the way he did the only thing you could do is do something with what he gave you many of you spend more time explaining than you do experiencing you got to operate in the function and in the vernacular and in the conversation and in the circles and in the environment that he has created you for get out of the weeds get out of the mud and start operating on the level that God has for you so that you can be fulfilled through your purpose and so you can see what God really put in you because the worst thing in the world is to die and not get everything out of you that God put in you you not only do yourself a disservice you do the world a disservice because there is something that the world needs that is only in you am i helping anybody naio saying Joseph we mad at you why because your code is different and it's a different color and here is the deal I told him this this morning i'ma tell you this afternoon they were focused on the coat and they were focused on the color and what they should have been focused on is the capacity of the man who was wearing the coat you're looking at somebody to say I can't believe they got that they may not look like on the outside what you think people look like on the outside that has those gifts and talents but because they are somebody on the inside y'all not here with me today because they may not be the prettiest person you've ever seen but their heart is beautiful they may not have long hair but they have long suffering see if you'll just do something on the inside you'll see God put something on you on the outside I want every person in here to make up in your mind that you're gonna do a makeover but you're going to do it from the inside out [Applause] you're gonna put makeup on your spirit on your heart the way you treat people no sense of being beautiful outside and ugly inside you got to change who you are in here and when you change capacity can I see those bottles again let me show you I wasn't gonna do it but I just thought I would do it bring both of them up here they already got it they already got it not see some of y'all Thank You Nick already open already open them I can't I can't put the mic down and do it thank you son so some of you all are like this bottle all right this is you this is you and this is the person you a relationship with and what you're doing is trying to get all of you you're trying to get all of you inside of them and after about two weeks the rest of you is on the ground after pouring into them just for a few moments and then after you pour everything out onto them and then when it's time for them to pour back into you that's why you're unfulfilled because you're incompatible so what you want to do matter of fact bring me one of those users it's a better analogy jazzoo to change your shoes I knew you is gonna have the Holy Ghost on you see what you need is somebody who will say I don't have as much as you have but I can hold as much as you can hold and if you give me some time and let my cup fill up when it's my time to pour back into you I'll make sure you're overflowing can I get every bottle to stop dating the cap I need every bottle in here to start shouting God take the caps out of my life and then [Applause] now this is what happens you grow they grow you grow they grow then you grow again and they stay the same SOT now you got the same problem not you need to go find huh and this is what life is it is the continuation of becoming a different container and finding people on the same level or growing them up to be so that you don't keep pouring all of what you have into somebody who couldn't contain it in the first place people who have the same dream understand what it is to hold 24 ounces people who have the same dream understand the process of being balanced [Music] if I had another bottle of water up here that was the same ounce it still might not be compatible because one could be a city and the one could be balanced which means that sometimes you could hold the same thing but one could be water in the other poison so then it is not about how much it's about what and do we have the same thing in us so there can be exchanged between us so that I am NOT sick every time we have an encounter does this make a sense clap your hands if this is making sense to you right number two how many of you all have a dream number two don't be afraid of the picture a dream is nothing more than an idea asking permission to live a dream is nothing more than an idea asking for permission to live in other words if God didn't want you to have it he wouldn't have put it in your head if you got enough courage to dream it you have enough capacity to get it and you got to stop being afraid of your dreams because you don't have experience think big every day all the time I want you to look at your current situation and I want you to multiply it in your mind before it happens in your reality I want you to see it bigger does this make sense to you all as a man thinks so is he in other words I cannot see it or be it until I can think it so you're saying God give it to me God says think at first the cost of having it is a dream how many of you ever had a dream that woke up it could remember what you dreamed about now you got understand how hard this was for Joseph because Joseph he didn't have a Bible he didn't have the word and limited revelation do you understand how much more spiritually mature Joseph had to be than us that he could believe this much without a Bible y'all listening to me see now you got a scripture that says think on these things and lift up your heads and I was old but I'm the island idol you got all of that no leper if you got all of that he didn't have anything but revelation he had no prophetic utterance other is's he had know it no major prophet and minor he had no epistles he had no Gospels he had no Psalms there was no proverb and yet he believed how is it possible that he could believe off of a dream and we can't believe off the scripture when Joseph was there all they had was revelation you know what God showed me he says people of God pastor tell him I'm getting back to the days of Revelation I'm getting ready to cause people to go into deep sleep again and I'm gonna take something out of them y'all not here with me today I'm getting ready to start speaking to my people in dreams again and and and and and I'm getting ready I'm getting ready to speak in utterances and I'm and I'm getting ready to send prophets again and you're gonna have to be in tune with the Word of God and if you miss the word you'll miss the blessing so I'm gonna talk to you through dreams again how many of y'all got a dream again you do know that most times you dream about the last thing you thought about so if you go to sleep thinking negative that's why you're gonna be falling off a cliff and your dream have you ever woke up out of your dream it felt like man who beat me up you looking at your husband or your wife like I know you must have hit me when I was sleeping you woke up sore like you're in the fight I want you to go to sleep thinking positive I want you to put positive music or positive books or something in your head in your subconscious so that when you go to sleep you can think on these things everything you've ever saw everything you've ever read everything you've ever heard everything you've ever encountered is in your subconscious right now and God will call it to remembrance when you need it I'm up here preaching to you right now I didn't plan to say none of what I'm saying but because I have already studied it because I already know it because I've already thought it God will bring it out because I am using the gift you've got to make sure that you put it in you because you cannot make withdrawals where you've made no deposits everybody say trust the picture when he told them his dream they tried to kill him and I'm gonna tell you the same thing is gonna happen to you because heavenly honor always brings earthly harassment you're gonna go from being a favorite to their most hated it's just gonna happen and you're gonna be like oh my god I thought this relationship was gonna last forever oh my god I thought we were gonna be friends forever oh my god I thought this was gonna be my boo thing forever capacity don't worry about the color don't worry about the coat how much can you hold everybody said trust the picture the Bible says in John 17 that Jesus gave the disciples the word and the world hated them when God gives you something you become the envy of the people who didn't receive it and again I'm right back where I started you didn't even ask for it you didn't just wake up and say Lord make me the favorite you just were wise you went to Bible study you you went to church you did to other things that other people wouldn't do you you forgave people who despitefully use you in and and you didn't hold a grudge and and you tithe when you didn't have the money to do it and you just did all these things and all of those were tests and then God rewarded you because of the work that you did and I'm telling you right now be not weary Lord thank you Jesus in your well doing for you will reap a harvest if you faint not matter of fact Thank You Holy Spirit God tell them to spend the next 30 seconds just telling every person don't you give up don't you quit don't you be weary everything that you're doing right now is getting ready to pay off but what God wants me to tell you is that you got to act like you have it before he has put it in your hand over the next 18 seconds I need everybody to act like it's done act like you got it act like you're prepared act like your warning they come on give him glory for what's to come don't be sad lift up your heads don't be broken he's a he's a lifter upper of my head he's a he's a hot fixer and a mind regulator come on you got five more seconds to give God glory [Applause] you got a praise with pain you got a worship with bills some of y'all got bills on your counter right now you're scared to open them because you know you can't pay them they got all kind of different colors some of them red some pink some of them say open immediately and you're wondering God how am I gonna do a God says you're not I am [Applause] somebody said God you do it when Rachel had Joseph her one-cent son was better than the other ten that her husband had before him God can give you one blessing to wipe out all of your problems you don't believe me he will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out open your Bible Malachi and pour you out a blessing that you don't have room enough to receive I'm telling you that you're getting ready to walk into a season where one blessing is gonna take care all your problems God thank you one check is gonna pay off all the debt one conversation is gonna solve all the problems come on somebody say God you can trust me with it hallelujah hallelujah I don't know I don't know if y'all believe that because that ain't how you act when you know that God gonna send one thing guys don't send one thing to answer everything God didn't need but one Adam to get all of humanity started he only needed one Jesus to get all of humanity saved and he only needs one you to solve the problems of your whole family and I'm telling you it's gonna start with you somebody slap your neighbors and I got a coke baby I got a coat and I'm not gonna use this coat to brag about this coat is gonna solve financial problems in my family for the next generation this one coat is gonna stop cancer for the next ten years this one coat is gonna be [Music] [Applause] somebody say one blessing matter of fact I want to tell 15 are you just one pray away the next time you get off your knees from your next prayer our miracles don't happen I need all of the one step one prayer

guys won't sing you one friend that's better than all ten of the ones you got I feel the word of the Lord in this place Oh Lord I feel your presence in this place cuz some of y'all thought it was gonna take longer than this some of y'all were prepared to struggle for the next three years matter of fact you got a plan at home and said by the time 2022 comes God says no this year this year before elevation is over and before expansion starts it's I said it's about to happen somebody ought to pay God ahead of time somebody shouting ain't gonna take as long as I thought it's not gonna take as long as I thought because I thought I was gonna have to do it what the code I used to wear but I won't do it in my new season in my new garment in my new vesture in my new vision in my new victory [Applause] [Music] somebody shout I'm changing the clothes I'm changing mindsets I'm changing the way I talk I'm even changing who I talk to cuz I'm not about to give my old I'm not giving my pearls to swine some of y'all gonna have to either hang up the phone or delete the number but God says don't even have a new conversation with our old connection because what I'm getting ready to do you gonna need one it's a trap to make you think you need all of that you don't need your phone ringing all day every day it's a trap the devil got you so addicted to your phone ringing that when it don't ring you look at it I don't nobody love me don't nobody nobody be calling me you can't get none done cuz every time you get ready to work you got to help somebody else who don't want to work who just wants your influence your phone is about to stop ringing because it's a trap somebody come out of that trap walk right out of it you're walking away from ordinary into extraordinary and you cannot I repeat you cannot take a new mindset and change the old level you got to go to another level and let the mindset operate at the next level because if you take the next level mindset and you take it back down to the basement it's still gonna be damp and cold you can't change what it is are you with me today I said are you with me today and the other thing I wanted to tell you is that as you go you're not gonna need permission stop asking people what you think I ought to do they don't know if they knew they would have did it I just want to get your opinion what you think I ought to do you asking somebody on how to get to Galveston that's only been to Dallas they don't have directions they never been there they don't know why are you asking them you don't need permission what you need is revelation and when you get revelation the people you ask permission from they won't understand because God didn't speak to them you know every once in a while god I come in your life and he'll just tell you and nobody else will see it and nobody else will understand it and you will look like a fool Noah and you'll be building the boat and it won't be any rain and everybody will call you crazy but they won't understand that you're prepared for a storm that God's about to saying that he didn't announce are y'all praying with me today somebody say no more permission stop asking permission from people to be happy he encouraged himself in the Lord stop asking people and my pretty and just walk up in the cell I just want to announce I'm pretty do you like this dress on me just tell him I like this is fire you ain't got to but if you want me to wear something you like you can buy but i'ma wear this you got to be convinced before you ask otherwise you'll be persuaded by somebody's opinion you gotta know who you are before you ask anybody who you are you've been defined by people who couldn't see past who you are what they are so you let them tell you who you could be you don't need permission to be great you've already been formed to be great I am I can't get back to the sermon y'all too messed up my whole mind I said you don't have to ask for permission to be great you don't need anybody's permission to get out of poverty you don't need anybody's permission not to be depressed you don't need a relationship to be happy y'all y'all missing what I'm saying you you're thinking that you got to go to people say can I be happy know some of y'all put up certain parameters and you think if you have this then it'll give you that you can be happy single single is cheap huh when you single you can break anything in the house who gonna say something to you when you're single you ain't got to clean up and you ain't got a cup huh mess around and get booed up everything change bro you got you got somebody tomorrow oh great what you cooking I work too how many ladies y'all me go to you ain't gonna say your honey blood oh my god we both just worked great house why do you think I got more energy than you somebody say no permission heaven and earth may pass away but God's Word will never pass away lastly get ready for your promotion how many are ready for a promotion you know whenever you move a kid up a grade they may know the information but they don't know the individuals the way you know you're being elevated is when you start looking around and not recognizing anybody as long as you recognize everybody it's a clue that you are where you always been you need to start seeing people in places you ain't never seen them before you need to start hearing people use words that you don't know the definition to and be googling why they talking oh yes I've seen an acquisition before absolutely I want to tell you you need to start seeing some things that are familiar because the same is the same where's this person why is this person interested in me why is that while these kind of people started to follow me why is this person coming in my office why am I being contacted from people who I didn't give my number to I'm only talking just see this thing for everybody pastor Torrance I know I'm talking you at him do you understand what's getting ready to happen when you have the audacity to make a move when everybody else thinks you should have stayed still but you don't have to explain it because of you work it they'll understand it who are these people that I've never seen before Joseph go and get your brothers and check on them and I want you to tell me what they are doing okay daddy I will how go did you know his brothers were in Shechem 60 mile walk he sent a 17 year old boy on a 60 mile walk by himself and he got to second and his brothers were not there what would have most of us have done if we had got there and it didn't work out like we thought ordinary people go back home and say daddy I walked all the way over there and they won there I did what you told me to do extraordinary people do what Joseph did Joseph got there and didn't see him in second he said well I ain't gonna stop looking till I find him and the Bible says he ends up 20 miles away from Shechem in a place called Dothan and he finds his brother there why because it's a trap for you to always stop when you're comfortable that is the biggest trap the devil ever has is that we stop when we feel comfortable now be honest how many of y'all work out let me see your hand okay how many y'all work out and be like it ain't working come on now be honest let me tell you why if I tell you to do ten push-ups and you can do them easily put on the tenth pick up it gets harder the only push-ups that work are the ones that hurt that's why most trainers will say this give me one more why because the one more does more than the ten you did easily because it only works when it burns it only works when it hurts and you're only going towards destiny when you get to the place where you feel like I can't take another step but you put another you put your leg right it from the other and you keep straining and you keep walking and you keep fasting and you keep giving and you keep praying it only works when you feel like you can't do anymore and God says I'm talking to people to come out of the trap and I know that I told you to go 60 miles but I didn't tell you that the destination was 80 miles because I wanted to see if you were returned back to ordinary or if you will keep pressing toward the mark for plus of the high calling I need every presser in here say God give me the strip because I haven't found it yet but I won't stop I haven't conceived it yet but I won't stop I haven't arrived yet but i'ma keep pushing I need 58 people to say God since you trusted me with it I'm going to keep going until I find it it will never be as easy as you thought I'm open to business that sounds so good until you get in there found out you got to get permits and then you get in there and find out that if you start winning then there are people who will use the permitting process against you to stall your growth mess around I don't know what to do the people who are next to you who think you're gonna take traffic from them they'll be calling the fire department on you y'all ain't y'all a hit yeah I don't want this y'all don't want this y'all don't want this so y'all just want to do average and ordinary stuff and that's fine when you do average and ordinary stuff you don't have to worry about haters but when you do some big everybody you threaten will call everything they can to keep you from growing when you when you threaten somebody business days they called the police time I uh they parking on my life ain't using a lot they not even open for business but they such haters that they police in an empty lot because they don't want you to grow she got to push anyway cuz average is a trap and it wants everybody but I want to preach to extraordinary people said no weapon formed against we'll be able to prosper if you're in this place and ordinary is trying to grab you lip leak to your feet right now if averages try to hold you down leap up here's what the writers say I will let nothing separate me from the love of God do you know why the Bible says you got to press because there's the opposite force that's pulling see I love when people so you're going against nature you're gonna have to push because something is trying to hold you back and you gotta pull away from it depression let me go poverty past I would've did better if I knew better know better so you can do better take away all excuses you are so gifted everybody knows it except for you every devil knows it and you don't know it every witch in your life knows that you don't know it every warlock in your life knows it but you don't know it walk around with your head hung between your legs and you don't know who God created and you better meet yourself quickly it's the opportunity of a lifetime only lasting the lifetime of the opportunity you don't have forever to be great you're gonna be great before you get it and let me tell you when your knees hurt it ain't as easy when your back is goin out you better do it while you're young you better ask some of our people who have wisdom who have gray hair to prove that they've made it how hard it is to walk in and get a good-paying job when somebody sees you as a has-been you better get it while you can get it because you don't have forever youth is a trap [Music] youth is a trap you're not going to be young forever strength is a trap you're gonna get weak every day good eyesight is a trap they're gonna go dim if you ever paid attention people who live to be an old age die the same way they were born you're born with no teeth you live long enough you'll die without you were born with no hair you live long enough when you were born you couldn't walk live long enough everything God gave you a preview of how you're gonna get out of here now how you were brought in here you don't believe me I don't mean to be facetious you were born with a diaper live long enough you'll leave with one you needed somebody to take care of you from the wool and you're going to need to take care you to the tool it's a trap cute is a trap beauty is a trap it's a vapor it's fleeting it'll leave you everything you're depending on one day will betray you your hands your back your eyes your brain everything's gonna betray you everything is gonna slow down that's all you got to do it while it is tape somebody say Lord break me free from this trap in this place today nobody moved cuz I'm gonna let you go I need every person who came here today and said you know what if I'm not safe I'm breaking that trap I'm gonna accept Jesus Christ if I'm not a member of a church I'm gonna break that trap because I'm joining here today if I've strayed away but I need to come home I'm gonna break that trap because I'm amateur and come back home you can come as you are but don't leave like you came I'm going to give you 2 minutes and 30 seconds to make up your mind that whatever trap the devil has put you in whether there's no salvation no home no ministry to grow in you're gonna break it today you can either shake my hand or you can find one of these people with this sign on the count of three whoever you are if I'm talking to you I want you to move 1 2 3 move

[Music] see it won't work let me say this let you go I saw this young man praying this morning I knew the devil was trying to do something to it when I saw him praying and who the Sun sets free it's free indeed one thing I loved about Jesus is if you ever saw a man that was in pain he didn't care about his title if you ever saw a man that was in pain he didn't worry about that he was a son of man he stopped where he was whether it was a blind man a lame man a diseased man and God stopped we got to learn the stuff everybody say stop we got to learn to stop passing by people in trouble we got to stop being so consumed with ourselves that we don't see an evil spirit we don't see a demon trying to work you got to stop somebody to say stop you got to stop you got a pause you got a pause she got a pause God right now everybody reach your hand this way God in the name of Jesus whatever it is it tried to kill him it didn't work it should have been dead but you're still here you're still here God right now that I see what you well you don't know what definitely like you don't understand but I see that the death angel tried to kill him but God set him free God right now in the name of Jesus now that his body has free set his mind free [Music] you have enjoying unspeakable joy enemy we are not afraid of you we come boldly before the throne of grace and we tell you that you have no residence here and the holy spirit must abide now under him who is able to keep us from talking and present us before the only wise God our Father we take authority we take authority we take authority jesus take a part stand up to the devil proclaim unto the death of Jesus Christ that we are safe and we are safe in his arm if you love Jesus shout hallelujah poke somebody away I'll tell them I love you none you can do about it [Music] [Music]
