such an amazing conference many of us thousands across the world watched this woman that wore loose the very first virtual conference and when i tell you it was nothing short of amazing the speakers christian kane pastor shaw brady i almost fell out of my couch listening to her preach under the anointing of the holy ghost and of course a bishop himself who always rocks the world such an incredible meeting and when i watched the morning coffee i passed sarah and pastor marissa farrow it was amazing i was completely blessed pastor shire i was completely blessed sitting watching drinking water looking at the women of god discussing faith hope and love i don't know about you but we should all give our visionary a wonderful round of applause for putting together something like this at such a high level and what we want to do is we want to give you a recap of what took place over the last few days now my sisters queens from all over the world i command you to birth your dreams and your visions and those things that seem [Music] impossible i have come to learn that it is not your beauty that makes you great it's a beast our world needs divine intervention we need a revival you are free your voice is free and it's important you certainly get bruised in this job but i also still have such pride for what i do and who i am as a person we gotta think about this for the long term because there's no going back to the way things used to be you are called to a ministry a ministry [Music] i felt depleted i felt depressed i felt defeated but i still believe god you've got the story you've got the testimony we need you we know god is here i walked in the building this evening and i felt the presence of god i want to give you permission to know that when you are at the end of your rope that is when god's unexpected hope kicks in it's all right to be hurt but to be heard 30 years is to be stuck and you've got to go because you have an appointment with destiny and for a limited time only you can watch all the main stage sessions on bishop's youtube channel youtube.com td jakes official and beginning wednesday october 21st stream the entire one of those loose virtual experience exclusively on bishop's village what an amazing encounter and i'm certainly glad to be a part of a ministry that moves all over the world like this and i'm sure you all as well i want to call your attention to exodus [Music] chapter 4. exodus chapter 4 verse 24 26. and it came to pass by the way in the end that the lord met him and sought to kill him then zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at his feet and said surely a bloody husband on thou to me so we let him go then she said a bloody husband thou art because of the circumcision father we thank you for your word let it touch somebody heal somebody to live in jesus name amen i want to talk to you today from the subject it's in your hands this all began with a young man named midian and his name meant strife and strife is simply conflict or bitter disagreement and midian was one of six sons from abraham and his wife katura and this was the second wife after sarah had passed now i think it's not worthy for you to get when we start talking about strife i start talking about conflict he himself was not a conflict he was not what he was called but he was born into one and when we deal with conflicts we normally fall into one to four categories conflict with self conflict with others a conflict with the environment and the conflict with the supernatural but what do you do when you're born into conflict how do you maneuver when you didn't put yourself in the place of opposition all the place of disagreement he was born into conflict but he was not a conflict and i want to park there before i move any further because i want to tell you you are not a conflict you may be in a conflict you may have conflict with yourself you may have conflict with your environment you may have conflict with the supernatural you may have conflict with somebody else but you are not a conflict so joel what do i do when i find myself in the conflict well the first thing you got to do is find the contrast in the conflict if you can find the contrast the contrast simply means if you were to juxtapose that you were completely opposite of that conflict find that contrast live from that contrast and be different because you can you don't have to be what people call you and you don't have to create a culture and create a context of that conflict what you can do is create your own culture that you have juxtaposed or contrasted i am not a conflict i want you to write that down right now as a confession that i am not a conflict i've got to find the contrast i've got to be completely opposite of what people are calling me i've got to be completely completely opposite of when i've allowed what people to call me to internalize within me i've got to find the contrast i've got to learn how to dig within who i am and pull out the treasure that god placed within me because here's the kicker the power to be you is already in you and all the conflict does is give you opportunity an opportunity to change a marker set by society and to create a new trend that proves the contrast is achievable so you can be what you want to be in the face of naysayers and in the face of people that said you don't have a chance matter of fact i believe there's at least a couple of thousand of you right now that are the contrast of the conflict you turned out completely different than what people say you were going to be you are walking a completely different walk than what people said you were going to walk you have a completely different career than what people said you were going to have you are the contrast and you found it now your job is to help somebody else figure out how to find the contrast in the conflict see it was a conflict for median and his and his and his five brothers zimbra and jokes as meddon is back and sure to settle in the same areas that have brother isaac for isaac was the promised child median was born into conflict he and his brothers had to move away just like their half-brother ishmael for the bible says that abraham sit them off with gifts just because you send me with a gift don't mean i'm glad to leave but he sent him off with a gift it was customary he sent him off with a gift because there was an understanding i am not the promised child so he sends him off with a gift and they go east towards moab and settle south of canaan and they encompass themselves in the desert east of sionai by horeb over time his descendants become one of the nations in our text that we're talking about called the midianites they were a nomadic tribe of merchants that settled in an open trade area and that route extended to egypt now here's what's critical about that route it was this route that reconnected the two nations just like jesus is the route of the way that it's called the way that connects two realms so this route was more than just a getaway for moses because where we are in the text moses is getting away and while he's getting away he's on this route headed to midian and while he's there i couldn't help but to see through revelation that this was more than just a getaway it was more than just a route but it was a what i would call a rites of passage a rise of passage a race of passage involves what you would call ritual activities and teachings that are designed to strip you of the role and the way that you came and to prepare you for the new role and the new way so while he's running he's running away from what he's been labeled he's running away from the conflict and he's finding the contrast he's on the way to discover who he is because on his departure he discovered that something's different about him he's searching for the contrast this passage this route taken by moses as he flees egypt after seeing one of his people brutally beaten by one of the soldiers and when he finds out that pharaoh possibly knows that he just buried or killed an egyptian soldier pharaoh gets furious and moses becomes fearful he hid the man in the sand and when i started thinking about that it dawned on me that all of us have hid some things in the sand every one of us have buried some stuff in the sand every one of us have been caught if we didn't physically do something we emotionally did something or we spiritually did something or psychologically did something and after we got done with it we buried it because we were not happy with ourselves and it's in the sand i'm not here to ask you what have you buried but i want you to know that the thing you buried shows you that you are not the conflict but it created a conflict and he had to find the contrast his anger raised within him because he saw one of his own being beaten and he strikes him and he takes off running but then i also found out that not only he buried things in the sand and not only did i bury things in the sand but somebody else buried things in the sand the bible says that man was shaped from the dust of the earth and out of the dust of the earth then god blew glory to god he brew the blessed of life into the sand you are what god buried in the sand my god the bible says for we have this earthen treasure for we have this treasure buried in earthen vessels all of us have a gift that has been buried in the sand moses he leaves egypt dressed like an egyptian but he runs in fear and i couldn't help but wonder he ran because he believed pharaoh was going to kill him and i wondered how fast did he run because every time i tried to research the distance the distance supposedly was 200 215 hours if you were driving 50 kilometers how did he get there how did this man acquire this kind of strength to get that far and then i began to realize did he run like some of us looking back because all of us have a tendency to run and look back when we know we've buried our past in the sand and he's running and he's running and he's running and i'm trying to figure out what is going through moses's mind as he runs did he know that million would just be there did he stop because he was tired that he stopped because he was tired of running and he wanted something to drink because you can only go so long on the street that you have before you have to stop and recover from what you're dealing with and many of you now you didn't stop on purpose you collapsed you collapsed because you got tired of running and didn't see anybody there to help you and you if no one saves you you will be the one buried in the sand decide to stop and get help what did he do but when i found out that where you stop glory to god i want you to write this down on the line where you decide to stop can either help you or hurt you where you decide to stop can either break you or make you now allow me to park moses right here because the text tells us that moses ran to midian and then he sits at a well he sits at the well and he runs into the priest of midian the daughter seven daughters so i want to leave him there because what i need to also do is go find out what happened where he came from because on the other hand abraham who's the father of many nations is the same man that fathered median that fathered isaac they had different mothers at different times katura and sarah 12 sons are born from jacob twelve tribes even eventually form the hebrew nation what started out as a family in egypt by way of joseph and isaac grew and increased and multiplied became fruitful and grew in strength and in the process of time in egypt there was a new king that popped on the scene who had no relationship with that family and he began to see them as a threat and when he saw them as a threat he put the pressure on him glory to god and he imposed fear into them to control them he put task masters on them and he dealt truly with them and he began to afflict them with heavy burdens and he made them build store cities and he began to press them but what got me in the text is that every time he pressed him they grew every time he pressed him they multiplied every time he pressed him they grew every time he pressed him they grew every time he pressed them they multiplied i'll say it again every time he pressed them they grew every time he pressed them they multiply when you feel pressed you've got to recognize it is a time and a season for you to grow i cannot crack under the hands of this pressure glory to god many times we don't detect god's hand because of the pain from man's hand and the truth wasn't pretty because they were getting pressed but god was still blessing i came on here to encourage you you've got to find the contrast in the conflict when you feel like you're being pressed flatlined broken you have to find the contrast you have to seek god you have to go after the greater one you have to go inside and realize what he put inside of you this is not a time for you to fold your tent but this is the time for you to recognize that the only reason why the enemy is pressing me in the first place because he has recognized that i am a threat to his territory you've got to wake up and know that there is a reason for the press on your life he's pressing you because of what you can become but he doesn't understand that his pressing is helping you become his pressing is pushing you his pressing is taking you i wish i had a witness in here if you were in this place right now i tell you shout hallelujah glory to god god had told abraham before he died that his descendants would be sojourners the soldier is simply someone that's in a temporary location and he told them they would be there for 400 years so it was not surprising 400 years of opposition and oppression it doesn't sound temporary it sounds like an eternity especially when generations are multiplying and increasing and though it was a long time it was still temporary in location but what was happening internally was having an everlasting effect in their thoughts in their imagination and in their beliefs because see here's what happens you can be in a place in and out and in and out and the results of your in and out will cause what you were in to stay in emotionally and now you will take some counseling and some surgery to deal with what you were in and out of but i came here today to tell you god's getting ready to do something for you right now it ain't happening tomorrow but we're decreeing and declaring right now that god's about to do surgery in your mind somebody shout in your house right now glory to god psalms 34 18 says the lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit now here's interesting to me moses is raised by the people his people are serving like slaves he too was born in the conflict he wasn't a conflict he wasn't what they called him he was raised and educated and adorned as an egyptian but he was a hebrew through and through you are not a conflict you just have one there isn't a person on the planet that has not had to deal with some form of conflict see moses as he's running yeah i'm back to him now he's on the path he's on the route the rights of passage what change is getting ready to happen leads him to median and he stops at the well oh my god this is a shadow of jesus meeting the woman at the well when you see god at the well you always see change when you seek guarded water you always see change where we seek god at water moses is being drawn out of water by pharaoh's daughter and now he's at the world about to be drawn up by egyptian influence can i say that again he's at a well where egyptian influence is going to be drawn from him he's been running with the conflict but now he's at a well where the influence is now going to be drawn out of his life and over the next few years it would be easy for me right now to talk about the fight that moses had with the shepherds at the well it would be easy to talk about how god revealed himself to moses at the burning bush all that happened on this rites of passage it would be easy to see and talk to you about what god told him take off of your take your shoes off because you're standing on holy ground it would be easy to talk about the signs that god gave him when he told him he said lord what am i going to do when i tell them who sent me and when i tell them that i've had an appearance from you he said stick your hand in your bosom pulled his hand out and it was white as leprosy did he suck it back in it returned then he said listen what i want you to do is scoop some water out and then i want you to put it on the ground and it's going to turn to blood and then he said i want you to throw your staff down he threw a staff down and it turned into a snake and then he reached down and he picked it back up he said these are signs that you can show them and you can also tell them tell them that i am sent you all of that is powerful and all of that is supernatural but it ain't what i want to talk about i want to talk about that woman that was back east from midian named zipporah glory to god her name meant small bird or sparrow and the root of a word is an arabic verb signifying to chirp and it is said in the rabbinical teachings that she exemplified a bird as in when her father jethro asked her where was the men that helped you at the well and the bible says that she flew out to find him and flew back this is all a description symbolism of the bird which i had a witness and then we will see her stepping back in and bringing him for dinner this medianite woman emerges from the shadows of a father who is a big-time high priest and she emerges from the shadows of her husband who is about to be the greatest leader of all time the greatest emancipator of people at this very moment is a shift in her life because now we see in the background in the backdrop a woman who seizes the moment and i just want to talk for the next few minutes to any woman that knows there's about to be a shadow shift that you're about to emerge from behind and you're about to stand in front there's nothing wrong with being behind there's nothing wrong with working on the backside but god's about to give you an opportunity and this opportunity is coming for you to shift out of the shadows glory to god i want you to notice this the first thing i need you to know everything is centered around this one moment everything is centered around this one moment what are you saying pastor don't freeze in a moment that requires immediate reaction immediate action do not freeze in the moment that requires immediate action why pastor the ability to respond under pressure is currency for your promotion you've got to be ready to move when something happens you can no longer hide in the shadows and sit back as if you don't have the gift and sit back as if you don't know how to work that machine and sit back as if you don't know multiple languages it is your time to be navigated to the front somebody shall shadow shift hey glory to god god was about to kill moses but she's in the background but she's not in the back screaming and she's not in the back freezing she's not backed us and oh my god what she did she began to respond god can use the pressure you're under to produce a dependency upon him that will produce power for you and power is the ability to do and panic is an inability to access because unthinking behavior has crushed your ability to tap into your power and i don't know who i'm talking to right now but covet 19 has taught all of us this year how to do what we didn't know what to do it taught us how to find what we couldn't find it taught us how to be creative when we didn't think it was there it taught us how to collaborate it taught us how to shift in and to shift out it taught us how to find the contrast glory to his name i want you to type on the line right now it's in my hands and it's in my hands it's in my hands it said man the second thing that i want to tell you is that she found what she needed in the stones can you see her moving things around moving stones of heartache moving stones of bad memories moving stones of pain the truth be told you can't move no stones like that you got to get down to move a stone what you need to do is move some stuff to find what you need and some of you can't find it because you're too pretty and some of you won't find it because you have an excuse but on the backdrop of the east side there's a woman that has no real name there's a woman that's not mentioned in the bible very much but she's down on her knees searching for the stone and i just want to know can you find what you're looking for when you're under pressure she's on the ground searching through the stones now what makes this remarkable is the fact that god has said i'm getting ready to kill moses so now she hears what's getting ready to happen to her husband and she's on the ground trying to respond but what she needs is in the stone i wish i had a witness in here somebody right now you need to know that what you need is in the stone and the bible tells me that they went to the grave and they rolled the stone away glory to god i don't know who i'm talking to but what you need is the rock that's on top of the rock wish i had a witness in here somebody say i need a stone who i feel the holy ghost right now i came here to tell you to find your edge because the text says that she needed a stone that was sharp not a smooth stone david needed a smooth stone five smooth stars but this woman of god she didn't need five stones she just needed to search through stones and find the stone that had an edge and i came in here today to tell you find your head story to god have i got a witness in here you gotta search through the past you gotta search through your feelings you gotta search through your emotions you gotta search through the fears you gotta search through being down you gotta search through the shame you gotta search through the pain find your stone have a gun within this hand type it on the line and say find your stone have i got a witness here can the church say yes here she is she's going through the storms to find one that has an edge and she finally finds one have i got to witness him look at somebody in your house and tell them you don't have time to be dull in 2020 you got to find your action get your education find your edge go back to school and take some more courses turn your head whatever the gift you have shuts deep down inside [Music] somebody's saying [Music] what you're looking for is right under your feet what you're looking for you already have access to so you don't have time to cry get your edge you don't have time to pick up your phone and call nobody get your edge you can't afford to go into 2021 without your edge your business has to get edgy your marriage has to get edgy but what you need is within your reach you don't have to go to the north you have to go to the south look at somebody telling me it's under my feet it's in the stones stones represent structure stability memorialization and execution death structure stability you can build on a rocky foundation memorializing you can place a stone to remember what happened and when you look at execution this woman is finding a stone for herself but in the new testament there were men that were finding a stone to kill her killing season is over nobody's coming after you because you got your edge and if they happen to show up what you need is under your feet i wish i had a witness in here we're getting ready to ride out of here y'all but when we ride out we go ride out strong i need somebody to shout hallelujah if i can get 2 000 women online right now to just say it's in my head you're going to have to understand that making a mark is more important than making a name see who and what she was was never her issue it's always somebody else's quit trying to explain your blessing to people quit trying to justify where you are where you are quit trying to dumb it down so they can feel good about your elevation quit worrying about where you live because you're not you you're concerned about what they're going to think what you are and who you are is not your issue it's somebody else's and let them have it if you make the mark the mark will make you a name but if you try to make yourself a name without a mark your name will be easily erased but if you make it your mission to make your mark the mark will set you up i press toward the mark glory to god and the prize of the high calling [Music] making the mark why are you saying this pastor why all of this because this is the first time the very first time that a woman circumcises a man abraham circumcised isaac isaac circumcised jacob jacobs circumcised the sons it was normal it was customary it was tradition for man to be circumcised on the eighth day of his life god instituted it i want him in covenant with me and if you didn't put him in covenant then it was difficult for god to embrace what he allowed you to be blessed with so we see now for the very first time a woman doing what a man always does i believe that we have tapped into something we've got a woman running for vice president something that a man has always done we've got women owning businesses making multi millions of dollars and some that are billionaires tapping into places where only men have been reserved this is a season for you to shift out of your shadow and for you to find the contrast for you to be opposite of what they said you're going to be this woman you've got to see this woman [Music] taking the knife cutting her own son can you hear him crying can you hear her crying moses is about to be killed and zipporah the bird flies in takes the knife puts it in her hands the text says that she took the knife and i believe that it's prophetic that every woman that just watched what happened in this virtual conference you've been given the tools but now it's up to you to take the tools i came on here to tell you it's in your hands it's up to you to make it happen it's in your hands it's up to you to go back home it's in your hands it's up to you to walk on that job it's in your hands why am i none it's in your hands so wherever you are right now i came to prophesy to you pick up your bag pick up your mind pick up your smile and let the devil know it's in my head my joy is in my head my power is in my head my victory is in my head if you believe it say hey she circumcises she circumcises can you see her cutting the flesh i'm almost done with it you can't be what you want to be until you cut off what can't go with you she circumcises her son and the definition of circumcise it's not just the cutting away but it's cutting all the way around part of the reason some of us are struggling because we cut part of the way a partial cut piece of cut but to be circumcised circle circumcised means i must cut around remove and leave behind it is sad to say but some of you love stuff so much that you're willing to cut and medicate cut and bandage cut and keep and you wonder why your love life is infected and you wonder why there's poison in you because you didn't cut all the way around and you have to remove it and leave it behind but not only that in the text she takes what she cut off and she threw it at moses his feet and she gives a prophetic declaration you're a bloody husband she's not talking about him she's talking about the circumcision and what she does is prophesy how a man is gonna walk into the future with bloody stuff this man moses without zipporah without her hand we don't have the hand of moses that picks up the staff because god's going to kill him but it took her hand because it always takes somebody else's hand to get you where you need to go it will always take somebody else's hand to open up a door to the next dimension for you softly it will always take somebody else's hand to direct you into your future it is in your hands we don't get moses throwing the serpent down we don't get moses taking the blood of the lamb and putting it over the doorpost and we don't get moses stretching the rod across the red sea we don't get moses striking the rock we don't get moses speaking to the rock we don't get moses going up to the mountaintop none of that happens from moses if zipporah doesn't fly in and put things in her hands use your hand your hand represents authority your hand represents generosity your hand represents hospitality your hand represents courage your hand is getting ready to provide for somebody that almost lost it it it is in your hands where you are right now i want you to lift your hands because i believe you're
