focus to you and we bless you now let us hear and not only be hearers of your word but doers thereof and we honor you and we bless you in jesus name we pray amen good morning good morning all over the world we're connected here in this moment in time such a pivotal transformational moment in time we are in our back at one series here at the top of the year helping you understand that beginning again is not necessarily starting from scratch but really moving forward in the direction and the thing that god would have for you to do and today we're going to talk about it being your decision can you just type on the screen it's my decision it's my decision sure god has created a path and a plan but he gives us the freedom of choice we're a people of choice and decisions that must be made is up to us to align to come into agreement with god and to walk in step with him can i let you know that your decision determines your destiny come on and type it for my note tape takers your decisions determine your destiny you see god has a plan and a will that he has expressed and revealed to us in time but it is so significant and important that we make the right decisions that support that alignment so we can come into agreement with god because if you're really honest and see our life is the sum total of the decisions that's been made for us or the decisions that we make for ourselves your decisions determine your destiny and although we are people of free will and free choices we are allowed to make certain choices in our lives god help me make the right choice help me make the right decision to follow your path and to follow your plan you look at deuteronomy the 30th chapter in the 15th verse it says it like this see i set before you today life and prosperity death and destruction deuteronomy 30 and 15 see see i set before you today life and prosperity death and destruction life and prosperity death and destruction can you just type which one you gonna choose i think you already know i choose prosperity i choose life i decide life i choose life i choose prosperity if god has two paths if there are two paths that god has allowed to be set before me today i choose the path of life and of prosperity not death and destruction please choose life you see in life the choices that we make are so definitive they they unpack they unfold they reveal to us the rest of us the best of us the possibilities that god has destined and designed for our life whatever change you're looking for in your life it is wrapped up inside of the choices that you make whatever change you desire to see in your life the choice is found in the change when you change or make a change that choice to change opens up an opportunity for something fresh and something new we talked about it last sunday how abraham had to choose to make a choice of change to obey god to follow god down a path that was unfamiliar that was unprecedented that was unpredictable that god had told him that his time was up in a particular time and a particular season and that god wanted to do something fresh and something new in his life so he provided for him a path of life and prosperity and told him get up out your father's house took him to another path in a plane and abraham and sarah he went and followed after god but abraham didn't just take sarah he also took his nephew lot he decided that if i'm coming out then i'm bringing my family out have i got somebody with me that understand that you don't just want to be a blessed but everybody around you needs to to partake in the favor or the blessing of god that's on your life that god has designed you perhaps to be the person in your family that will be used as a tool to bring out the rest of your family that they can see the transition and the transformation that god has done in your life and want some of that want to be a part of what god is doing fresh and new in your life i love that abraham made the choice not just to take his wife sarah but also to take his nephew lot and when god brought him out they didn't come out empty-handed they were a prosperous people they chose the path of life and prosperity and when they came out they came out with much much resources and and the bible says that when they got together it was too much for the earth to handle i remember last year we preached about how the earth buckled at them coming together and so when they came it was so much for them to live together that they had to make a decision to spread it out right and so when they made a decision to spread it out because they recognized that the blessing was not in what they possessed but that the blessing was in the fact that they obeyed god and the blessing was on them that they said hey which which direction will you take which area which space will you take and so lot made a decision that and abraham made a decision to allow lot to make a decision and lot made a decision that he would go to sodom he wanted to make the choice to go to the place that was developed he wanted to make a choice to go to the space where he had where he could experience life separate on his own and walk in his own shoes and do it his own way and genesis the 13th chapter says and the 11th verse says that when lot when lot made the opportunity or had the opportunity to make a choice it says so lot chose for himself the whole plane of jordan and he set out towards the east and the two men parted company and abram lived in the land of canaan while lot lived among the cities in the plain and pitched his tents near sodom so abram went to canaan and lot pitched his tents near sodom he's a single man at this point in time and he recognizes his identity and now he's about to explore his path and his plane and move into things and towards the things that he believe god has for him and though he separated from abraham the blessing of god that was with him remained with him can you just type the blessing remain the blessing remained that because he was a partaker in abram's obedience and that connection brought a blessing on his life can you thank god for the people that god has blessed you through the people that god has chosen to bless you the people that because they knew you or selected you or picked you or found you or saw you that there's a blessing that was connected to your life the blessing remained with lot and so now the blessing remains what lot lot goes towards sodom and he pitches his tent and when he shows up there because the blessing remained he does not show up in that space empty-handed he's in that split in that place and decided that now i'm about to do what i saw i'm about to walk in divine destiny i'm about to walk in order and i'm going to now provide or start from lee a family in the same way that i was connected to abram and genesis 13 and 5 says are y'all following me says now lot was moving about with abram he also had flocks and herds and tents flocks and herds and tents which is to suggest that just because he was connected to abram that there was a blessing that remained on his life and though he separated the blessing stayed with him and here he's saying that he had la he had flocks and he had herds and he had tents and he had flocks and he had herds and he had tents what was this this was a part of the covering that he was under so lot is now under abram's covering he's under abram's covering and that covering that blessing now is flowing down from abram onto lot and on and lot and and connected to whoever he's connected to genesis 13 and 7 says or lets us know that he has a herdsman offroad also under his covering so now abram a lot is in a position well now he can begin and start a family he's single but now he's in a position where he can start a family he has something that he wants to share and something that he wants to give and so what he does now is he goes to look for a wife and the wife that he chooses is inside of sodom not only does he goes and get a wife inside of sodom but he also now marries that woman they have a covenant and in the marriage or the covenant that they possess they birth two daughters so now a lot has now began his family he's taken the lessons that he learned by walking with abram and now the possessions that he's gathered by possessing the blessing and now not only is he in a covering position but now he's also providing a covering see it's important what you're exposed to because the things that god has exposed you to is because he wants to teach you something or show you something that is powerful that one day you'll see if you look back in your life that there are moments in time in your life where you was exposed to something that you thought you were just a partaker of that god was going to one day challenge you to do yourself and when god allows you to watch in another season is because he's building your faith for the next season lot had to watch abraham leave everything comfortable and everything familiar and know that the blessing of god was with him and on him and be confident in that blessing to stand in the power of it so that now as he's under that covering he too can provide a covering so now lot is under a covering he provides a covering he has a covering he has something to share he has something to give and he has something to offer he has herdsmen he has uh tents he has uh he has herds he has possessions now he has a wife now he has children he has a daughter and under his covering god is blessing him and causing favor to happen upon his life but god has a bigger plan for his life and anytime god has a plan for his for your life he sends you a person hear me whenever god has a plan for your life you can recognize the plan that god has for your life by the caliber of people that he sends into your life when god sends you a person it is a reflection of his design and his desire for you when god interrupts your life with a person with a covering with a grace with a new insight with a new perspective that sees something more in you or pulls something out of you it is because god is designing or creating space for you in the future you do not have all the friends that you need neither do you know all the people that you need to know god is still about to introduce you to somebody and when god decides to introduce you to someone it is because he is trying to prepare you for where he's about to take you are you hearing what i'm saying when god knows that you're important as you are and god knows that you're pregnant with purpose as you are then he will send someone to cover what you're carrying here what i'm saying when god has put something inside of you he will not allow you to remain in a frustrated season or frustrated place he will send someone that can cover what you're carrying and you know that god is preparing to birth something new in your life because of the caliber of people that he sends you i always say that god sends a person to cover what you carry in and when the enemy is afraid of what you're carrying he also sends a person he'll send a person to bring a detour or a distraction and you have to learn how to discern the caliber of people that god sent you did they come from god or did they come from the enemy and you always can tell because the people that god sends are not intimidated or threatened by you the people that god sends they see you the people that god sends they want you to develop they want you to mature and so now lot here he is a single man but he sees this woman he sees he has he has his family and these daughters and he now brings them up under his covering and when god wants to birth you or send you or prepare you he will cover you to make sure that you know that you're all right have i got anybody that's watching that thank god for his covering thank god that he sees you thank god that he knows you thank god that he cares about you and thank god that he covered you my god he covered your name he covered your house he covered your family he covered your children i thank god for covering me when i didn't even know i needed to be covered i thank god for covering me when i didn't even know i was uncovered are you thankful that god knows the divine design that he has for your life he will not leave you out there but he will cover you he covered me come on i dare you to type it on the screen he covered me he covered me he covered me he covered me he covered me come on type it he covered me he covered me when you start to think of how many times he covered you i need somebody that can be honest about god's grace and his mercy that covers you he covers you he covets you when god knows that you're carrying something he will cover you to protect you when god knows you're carrying something he will cover you to protect you must understand spiritually first god covers us first god covers us spiritually then we're born into a family that family then covers us we have a spouse then our spouse covers us we have friends our friends covers us he sends us spiritual leaders that covers her he sent us mentors and coaches they cover us you ought to thank god for every area of your weakness and area area of your ignorance and every area where you could have been exposed that would have been detrimental to you that god will send a covering over your life to cover you and protect you god i thank god for my covering you ought to tag somebody you ought to ask somebody you want to text somebody you want to call somebody and say thank you for looking out for me thank you for bringing me under the covering thank you lord you for protecting me thank you god for keeping me because god will cover you and cover you and cover you and keep you and bless you and cover you because he's about to use you he covers you he brings you and so now lot lot has under his covering he has under his covering he has his wife he has his children they're living in sodom sodom is cray-cray sodom got a lot going on but some kind of way in the middle of everything that god has going on that solomon has going on that that lot is in a predicament where he doesn't even know that abram is still covering him god help me i'll fill it up he's here in sodom god has now made a plan for sodom of destruction but though he has a plan for destruction for sodom abram abraham is interceding unto god for lot and said my nephew is there god and i know that you want to destroy that city but can you please have mercy and not destroy the city or the people if you could just find someone there that will be a righteous can you protect them and because of abraham's prayers for a lot when lot didn't even know abraham was praying for him that god said i'll destroy the city but i'll protect your nephew can i just get you to give god a serious praise for somebody that prayed for you that you didn't even know they was praying for you and you still trying to figure out how you got out cause you shouldn't have made it out but it was their prayers that covered you oh i feel it it was their prayers that covers you that covers you in a predicament and a place i remember how when i was a young man growing up my mother's prayers would cover me to the point that i could be in a place i had no business being and i could hear her praying for me i could hear her interceding for me asking god to protect me being in peculiar and predicaments but god's hand was on my life because he had a plan for my life and until i knew that plan he'll cover you so you don't make a mess have i got a witness here you ought to give god praise put up your prayer hands and your praise hands for the people that covered you while you was in the middle of a master and you didn't even know how you was gonna get out but their prayers was covering you so here they're being prayed for and they're in the process and everything is going around and all hell is breaking loose but prayers reached lot and protected him and his family make sure that the coverings that you're connected to are a catalyst and not a ceiling oh god i feel it make sure that you don't connect yourself under a covering that now is not taking you somewhere but now becomes a ceiling for your life because if you allow your life to be covered by a ceiling and not a catalyst eventually when it's time for you to grow and evolve you'll get frustrated in the place that you're in come on here let me tell you what happened next here lot is in the middle of the place where all hell is breaking loose and god has heard the prayers of someone that he didn't even know was praying for him and while god heard the prayers he sent the angels to his house to come get you and god says now because these prayers have come up before me i'm going to do what those prayers have requested for me to do for you and i'm coming to your house to get you you want to thank god that he's been at your house you want to thank god that he's put his name on your name you want to thank god that he's come to your house and you're frustrated trying to figure out god did you forget about me and god said i didn't forget about you i'm coming to get you i know exactly where you are i know when you're there what you need when you need it how you need it and your covering is coming to get you you're covering it's coming to get you your covering is coming to get you and i and the scripture says let's go to this bible the scripture says in genesis 19 and 12 that now the angels show up at the request of god at the request of abram who was covering lot even though lot was no longer with abram and la had the responsibility for cover you see the trickle down so lot is covering his family abram is covering a lot god is covering abram and latta and the connection is that god covers and then he sends somebody else to cover and then while you're covering what you're covering gets covered because of what you're connected to can i tell you that god has a divine design and the scripture says that the two men said to lot they came to lot's house and said we're here because of who you're connected to and the question is who are you connected to we came to your house because god has summonsed us to be here and the question is now who who else or is there anyone else here in your son's in-laws or your son-in-law's or your sons or your daughters or anyone in the city who belongs to you get them out here with an urgency with an urgency they come to his house and they say we came here at the request of someone to cover you and now we want to know everyone that you're covering needs to come with you because you can't stay here because here is no longer where god wants you to be that you have to move beyond this space of your comfort zone and i didn't just come to get you but i came to get everything that's connected to you you ought to just thank god that when he blesses you and when he delivers you that he also connects you with the people that you needed to be connected to so that when you come out they come out can i get somebody to say when i come out you're coming out can i get somebody to say when i get free you getting free when i get somebody to say when i grow up you're going up i love the fact that god has divine connections and there's enough blessing in god that when god elevates one person that if you stay connected to who's he elevated that your elevation is inevitable the truth is that your elevation is inevitable and when you come out somebody else must come out because if you are the only one that comes out then you really didn't do your job or your responsibility because lot is only coming out because abram prayed to god that he come out and then god sent him to come get him out can i tell you in this season you've got to check your connections make sure that you check your connections check check check check check check your connections check your connections because god might be changing your circle i can't feel it today i'm trying to tell you god might be changing your circle that your circle around you may be evolving and you have to learn to check your connections god has sent and orchestrated divine connections and in the divine connection of god he's allowing you to check your connections check check check check your connections check your relationships check them check on them check to see if their presence check to see their perspective check your connections because evolution has to be a part of your circle check your connections because you have to what am i checking for i'm checking my connections for growth i'm checking my connections from maturity i'm checking my my connections for evolution i want to know if i'm connected to people that can grow with me that can evolve with me because if you check if you don't check your connections you'll find yourself trying to be settling or stuck in a space that you are only meant to pass through check your connections to make sure that there's evolution check your connections to make sure that you're connected to people that'll bring your name up when you're not in the room check your connections to see if people are around you that if an opportunity shows up that fits you will they call you or will they try to take it and make it fit themselves check your connections to see if they're talking about you behind your back in a good way not in a bad way check your connections because these people had no clue or no idea that they were being discussed the angel said to lot is there anybody else that you want to bring out like could have said no i'm straight let's go but instead he said you know what i do have some other people huh they bring your name up can you just type right there i feel it right there can you just say somebody's bringing my name up can you just say somebody is discussing me positively somebody is recommending me for something that i didn't even know was an option for me somebody is looking out for me and they putting my name in the hat you better check your connections to make sure that you're around people that aren't jealous of you check your connections to make sure that you're around people that want you to be blessed and want to benefit you and don't want to leave you how they found you check your connections to make sure that the people that see you really see you for who you are and that they're connected to you and you're connected to them for the right reasons lot is here in this moment and he's saying uh here i am and now you're asking me is there anybody else that needs to come out with me is there anybody else that needs to gather with me and the truth is he now says yes my wife needs to come of course my daughters needs to come and it's these two dudes that like my daughter i guess if they love him then i want them to come out too and the bible says that lot went to them to try to get them out but they thought he was playing and joking and they couldn't take serious where he was about to go they said man what are you talking about this is all we know everything's good here we laughing it up we living it up you talking about it's time to go what's wrong with where we are we don't want to show up we don't want to go and so now lot is in a predicament because he has to get his daughters and his wife out now his wife is with him but his daughters they have to make a decision if they're going to stay with the people that don't take seriously where they're going or they're going to end up going with their father who's taking seriously their future oh my god parents sometimes we're in a hard predicament when we have to make a choice for our children that is uncomfortable and unconvenient for them and we hope that they align with our choices because we can see what they can't see and you got to be careful that not only you check your connections but you check your children's connections because your children's connections can sometimes have more influence over your children than you you gotta be careful that you gotta check who you're connected to and who you leaving your legacy to if your child marry a fool and you blessed then the fool is going to run your blessing if your child is is connected to someone that is negatively influencing them or impacting their mind somebody that does not have the same vantage point or the same perspective they'll cause them to live lower than their than their than their potential you got to be careful because when lot i know we blow past it but when lot now comes and says to his wife let's go he says to his daughters let go he goes to his son-in-law's potential son-in-laws and says let's go and they don't take seriously where they're about to go so now they choose to stay now the daughters have to decide if they're going to stay with where they with the people that say they love them that don't take their future serious or if they're gonna go with their father who they know loves their future ah i'ma say that again they gotta decide if they're gonna go with their feelings of somebody who now says that they want to be with them but if you want to be with me and i'm going then you got to go where i'm going because if you want to be with me i'm telling you that where we are will no longer be and so if you come if you want to be with me tonight we gotta go we gotta go we gotta go and now they have to make a decision to go with their father and stay under the covering because the boys that's taking their father as a joke don't have a covering so when you stay connected to your covering or will you go with somebody that influences you to come out of your covering because they say they care about you and that your father doesn't have best interests oh we are in a generation who do not like whenever we do not agree with what you want you want to see if somebody is with you tell them no if you want to see if somebody believe in you tell them no you want to make them mad tell them no to something that they want to say yes to and see if they'll do what you say over what somebody else say i don't know about you but my father has experience he has a covering he has something to show for it and all you got is a promise i'm going with my daddy because staying here being stuck on stupid for somebody that don't even believe what's possible and my future is a waste of my time check your connections so i see y'all online y'all are going in in this empty building and the reality is that what who you are and what you are connected to is where you're supposed to be i need to tell you that over here i'ma say it again where you are what you are is connected to where you're supposed to be see what you are the family line the connection the people around you sometimes we're looking we're looking we're looking and we don't realize that that god has us already in alignment and when he's connecting us all we got to do is stay connected can you just type stay connected stay connected see your future is connected i'm gonna teach it to anyone your future is connected to who you follow your future is connected to who you follow your future is connected to who you follow they have to make a decision do we stay or do we go and can i tell you that in this season you need to stay connected to anyone who makes you better stay connected at all costs at all costs it's crazy out here at all costs it's crazy around here at all costs i don't care who says what about what about who about what listen stay connected to anyone who makes you better anyone who you can look at your life and see me being connected to them has made me better and disconnect from anyone who does not make your life better you hear what i'm saying anyone that makes your life better stay connected so here what he says is he says now we have to go because the angel said it's time for us to go god came to gets us out god came to deliver us genesis 19 and 16 says that when he hesitated the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters and led them out safely i'm going somewhere out of the city for the lord have been merciful to them god came to get them and lead them out by way of their connection by way of the council by way of the of the advice by way of the perspective by way of the direction god comes to lead you and to get you out he came to get them out and god now wants to destroy not you but what's destroying you god says uh god says i want to destroy not you because god is committed to the person but we got to be committed to the process i'm trying the best i can god says i have already designed that i have a way of escape for you and i've come to get you out and i've come to get you and everything that's connected to you out but i'm not going to destroy you but i'm going to destroy what's destroying you this environment is destroying you and you don't even know it this climate is working against you and you don't even know it and i have decided that it has to lose its power over your life and it has to lose its grip over your life and so he comes to get them and get them out and when he comes to get them to get them out he's got them in a divine covering and he's got them in a divine connection can you type i'm covered and i'm connected i'm covered and i'm connected i am under the right covering and i'm connected to what's making me better i'm connected to what's making me better even if it don't feel like it's making me better because oftentimes you cannot judge what's making you better by how you feel because feelings are the worst indicator of what's real feelings lie feelings will tell you one thing in a moment and light and betray you in the next moment you see when god is moving you and growing you and stretching you it's making you better but it don't feel like it's making you better because it's hard to leave what you love it's hard to leave what you love see it's one thing it's easy to leave what you're mad at it's easy to leave what you're frustrated about it's easy to leave what you no longer want but it's hard to leave what you love the daughter's got to leave the bulls that that finally wanted to marry them the mama the lost wife she has to leave she has to now leave the place she grew up in and the thing that she known all her life her her comfort zone and now she has to decide if she's going to be more committed to her future or her comfort zone she got to decide what is it that she really wants not only is is is she under a covering and she's connected divinely but now she has to be committed commitment commitment is the test commitment see see covering covering is not the test because covering benefits you uh immediately connection connection is not the test because connection connection benefits you immediately because it gets you in rooms and spaces and people to know you that would have never known you so you feel good about the connection and you feel good about the connect the cover because the the covering is connected to your blessing and the connection is connected to who you know and who know you but the commitment the commitment the commitment the commitment the commitment is is when you find out if the connection is strong see the commitment is when the uncomfortable meets you and challenges you to to to move in a direction that's difficult that that causes you to follow an instruction that you may not have all the all the all the all the pieces to you see it and when you're confident in the covering and you're confident in the connection then the next challenge that you have to face in 2021 and i'm just gonna pause and put this down for a second and pick it back up but but but the challenge that you're gonna have to deal with in 2021 is not a is a challenge of commitment it's a challenge of of of being committed to the process of maturity the process of development the process of your future the challenge the challenge is to remain connected to what you committed to and remain under the covering that you connected to because that's the greatest challenge because everything around you is what you know and covering and connection don't come to leave you how they found you covering in connection comes to stretch you and expand you and help you to explore here here's the scripture says the scripture says that that as soon as they brought them out as soon as everyone that was connected to lot came out of the city out of the city gates the instruction was clear it set free for your lives free for your lives number one free flee flee for for your lives that that death death is behind you danger uh danger and death doesn't always have to be physical sometimes death is just just because you no longer can grow there death is because you can no longer evolve in that space so flee for your lives expand explore and then the scripture says it says don't look back don't look back don't look back so move forward leave your comfort zone stay connected don't look back and and don't stop anywhere that's playing i mean in the plane don't stop don't stop don't settle for anything plain you see that don't stop anywhere in the plane anything that's playing anything that's average anything that's ordinary that's normal right no uh no lateral no lateral no lateral evolutions that that the point of saving you and saving your life is so you can expand so you can move out so you can move up not so you can remain lateral come out flee for your lives don't don't don't look back don't stop anywhere in the plane don't stop anywhere in the plane and here's the instruction flee for the mountains or you will be swept away i'm almost finished right here get high as you can so you don't be swept away by low get get high get your thinking high get your mentality high get your ideas high come out flee for your lives don't stop anywhere that's plain don't be swept away and get to the mountain don't don't look back flee for your lives don't don't be swept away flee for the mountains flee for the mountains don't look back flee for your lives your life is at stake your sanity your mentality is that steak flea for your lives don't stop anywhere plain come on type i will not settle for mediocrity i will not settle for mediocrity i will not settle for plane i will not settle for regular i will not settle for ordinary i will not settle uh for normal i will not settle for normalcy i'm made i've been created i've been designed i've been designed for excellence and i will not settle in the plane in the regular fleets in the mountains i will get i will get to the high place i will get to the high place i will i will get to the highest place that god says i'm coming to get you i'm coming to get you and i'm coming to get you when i'm coming to get you to shift you and i come to get you to you to change you i changed you i brought you around the right circle somebody that thought about you somebody that was thinking about you somebody that reached for you somebody that came to get you and now and now i'm challenging you i'm giving you a divine instruction that's challenging you challenging you challenging your commitments challenging your commitments the scripture the scripture talks about uh how how a lot a lot tried to negotiate negotiate the instruction of god but god's instructions are not suggestions i'm gonna say it god's god god's instructions are commands they're not suggestions their commands and anytime you you try to adjust or settle settle for for for less than what god has prescribed for you it will always leave you with less than what you really needed or what you really wanted and so god says go get to the mountains and lot tries to negotiate he said don't let me go to the mountains let me go to zor let me go to zora and zord me small and means a small city or a small place and sometimes god is trying to get you into something big but little got you god is trying to get you to expand your space and get to a mountain a place that's undeveloped uncharted territory a new dimension a new realm uh something you haven't known something you've not been exposed to he wants to he wants to stretch you he wants to do something with you that builds faith he wants to do something with you that builds faith and and it's important when god is trying to shift you and build you build faith that you don't settle because of your fears it's a hard thing it's a hard thing when god wants to expand you and you gotta you gotta wrestle not with what's around you but what's inside of you come here let me tell you the hardest thing the hardest thing that's that's fighting against you is not what's around you the hardest thing that's fighting against you is is is your prevailing paradigm you're thinking he says i don't want to go up there i don't want to climb i don't want to work i don't want to start all over just let me go to this small place let me go to this small place and let me settle here and see see that's when you want to stay close to and connected to where you've been and we find ourselves having a tendency to be more in love more in love with where we where we are than where we're going we we have a tendency to be to be more committed as as pastor hannah brought out last week to the place to to to what we built to to our monuments to our are things that that that we love instead of instead of committed to the purpose that god has for us sometimes you have to have a maturity to understand that this place was a good place i don't curse this place i found my wife here i found my children here but but it served its purpose can you can you just type that lesson that season served this purpose that season does not need me to revisit it that season does not need me to to remain there god wants me to go to a new space and it made me who i am if i'm proud of it i'm i'm proud of that because because while i was there it taught me some lessons and made me who i am and and and now it's time to move forward now now it's time to move forward and witness when it's time to move forward you got to wrestle with your commitment and your convictions and sometimes it's it's a friendship it's a relationship sometimes it's sin sometimes it's a behavior it's a belief system i don't know that that's got its grip on you and when god wants to move you forward sometimes it's you thinking that you're not worthy to move forward you start you start going i'm too damaged to move forward i'm not i should just stay here like this is all i know i'm not i'm not ready to move forward and can i tell you that you can either believe that you are are too damaged and too broken to move forward or you can choose to move forward damaged and broken you can even believe that that you're not enough and you don't deserve what god has next or or you can decide that god if you came to get me the way i am is because you see something in me that i've ignored something that i've tried to settle for and and i don't want to talk myself into staying in a place that you've decided is is no longer where i'm supposed to be and god says i got bigger plans for you but the choice is up to you you have to make the decision it's your decision it's your decision and we can no longer move forward in 2021 blaming god that he didn't come get us so he didn't show us or he didn't want better for us no no god says it's your decision to come out to flee for your life don't look back don't look back don't look back what what what is it what is it what is it what is it about about our past that that we become so in love with that god is promising us a promising future what is it about our proclivities our passions our lusts our desires that that goddess is promising us everything but we still want a little bit of what we already had even though even though we know that what we had could never satisfy could never satisfy what is it what is it what is it about about about when god wants to move us forward hey what is it about god wanting to move us forward that we keep on hearing having a lust for what was a a longing for man how hard must it be for lot to to want to walk forward with his whole family [Music] and his daughters and his wife and as he's walking he can feel her risking limp he could feel the sweat in her hand as she's having second thoughts about what's next and a lot is in a peculiar place because now he has to decide if he's going to move forward even if if he feels his grip slipping have you ever have you ever have you ever have you ever felt have you ever felt your grip slipping from from from holding on to what you're trying to hold on to desperately because you know that what you're doing is what's best but you can feel the connection weakening because the desire or the commitment or the draw is for what was and you can feel your grip slipping you can feel like you're losing your grip on your marriage feel like you're losing your grip on your family feel like you're losing a grip on your son or your daughter feel like you're losing the grip because god is saying go go go go go and while god is saying go why god is saying go is something in their desire something in their desire something in their desire something in their desire that still wants what was that still longs for the familiarity that seals learns for what was older and you can feel it and you can hear it and you can hear the sounds of familiarity behind you and you can hear the screams and the yells of the comfort zone that is behind you calling you back calling you back to the place of comfort calling you back and you can smell the smoke that's starting to arise and you can hear the sounds of familiarity but the only thing that's got you moving forward is one word one instruction from god come out flee don't look back and as you're trying to move forward you can feel you can feel the grip you can feel the grip slipping you can feel the grip slipping you can feel this the assignment the assignment slipping you can feel you can feel it changing and now you've got to make a decision if you're going to move forward or look back lot's wife lot's wife now now now he goes and i'm done he goes from holding her hand to now he can feel her flesh her flesh now turned into salt and though she looked back he can't what what must it come here come here come here come here come here come here come here what must it what must it be like to have to move forward when what you love just turned into salt in your hand what must it be like to to to be committed to people who are committed to you what must it what must it be like to be committed to people that were connected to you but not connected to you for your commitments they was just connected to what what they could benefit from what must it be when you have to move forward even though some people will become salty about the decisions that you make can you keep walking with salt in your hand can you can you keep moving forward with tears streaming down your eyes because you love what you held you was committed to it but it wasn't committed to you it just was connected to you you could tell if it's committed or connected because as soon as the perceived connection is over then the commitment goes away can you can you can you can you keep can you keep walking with salt in your hand can you can you can you let the tears stream down your face i i wanted you i thought we was gonna work out i thought it was gonna be something i really wanted to be with you i saw myself spending the rest of my life to you i was committed to you but you let me go i didn't let you go you let me go see the bible says go after the lost not the left there's a difference between chasing what's lost and chasing what left and so many of us are chasing what's left that we don't know what we have left see see if lot my mic is coming off if lot if lot if lot if lot if lot turns he loses the future if not if lot turns if lot turns see his wife let him go his wife let him go but his daughters held on to him if he turns his daughters lose the future trying to trying to hold on to what left can you can you keep going with the decision that god has for your life even if some people remain salty we gotta get delivered from people pleasing because sometimes we will allow people pleasing to pull us back but there's nothing back there but smoke you can't see it but you can smell it god says i got a mountain for you but you in love with the smoke can you i'm done my wife says lots looks back she becomes a pillar of salt can you move on with salt in your hand all he has now is a memory she became a memorial she becomes a memorial of what looking back comes she becomes a monument of nothingness nothing can live in a salty environment can you can you keep moving can you keep moving can you keep moving can you keep moving the question is in 2021 can you keep moving not letting anybody go not letting anybody go not cuddious my yeah i'm cutting these people off no no no no not cutting nobody off but holding on to whatever i want to hold on to you but if it lets you go you can't feel guilty about what lets you go you can have an emotion about what let you go but you can't go get what let you go cause then you'll spend your life chasing what didn't want you can you that's the question can you move forward with salt in your hand can you move forward i can't tell you how many how many times decisions i had to make as a leader made people salty and there's a temptation when people get salty because of your decision for you for you to give in to for you to give in to what they desire but if you know that god gave you a divine instruction about what next you got to make a decision if you're going to commit to your past or your future i was popular in high school i was popular in high school um i was in a music group a dance group i was working hard to fulfill my dreams we thought we was bbd and joe to see better than them there's film to prove it but don't look for it we spent our whole high school years dreaming planning believing hoping making taking pictures living in the studio doing soundtracks writing songs designing clothes getting hooks up ready to move to atlanta finally finally we graduated from high school and mama said i could go we had everything in line everybody every place was about to go to atlanta was about to go to atlanta living up 20 years old about to 19 years old about to go to atlanta and live it up and live it up and live the dream and we had to demo tape out there and we was going to talk to babyface in the face because they had just started to face records and it was about to be on because atlanta was popping and we was ready to move and everything was in line but i didn't have a job i didn't have a job and i needed some money so my mentor who was my pastor at that time he he said hey i'll give you a job if you come and work at the church and my friend was like yo let's go work at the church man cause we need god's blessing on our trip and on our journey and let's go and god's gonna bless us and in the middle of that we went back to church and i became a janitor and began to work in the church and the key to being in the janitor and working at the church was that i had to be at church i had to be at church because you never know when there might be a cleanup on alpha you hear what i'm saying but it was something about being in the church after how i left the church that hearing the word and being around the world started to stir up something inside of me that reminded me of who i was and while i was there cleaning up trying to save my money so i could go out of town and be in the r b group god said give me your life i got a plan for you he snatched me he pulled me out he saved me ridiculously he cut off the past and the hindrances of my life so to the point that i got radically saved sanctified filled with the holy ghost became a youth pastor and started serving god at 19 years old right in the prime of what i was about to do to get really but wow you hear what i'm saying and my friends was crushed they was devastated because now i broke up the group it wasn't that i was the lead singer and the group is just that all the pictures had all of us in it all the sounds had all of us in it all the songs had all of us in it and now i'm talking about i'm gonna give my life to god and be saved and now i gotta leave them they were so distraught do you know that my friends took bets they took bets about how long i would be out there how long i'm gonna make it when would i be back they said girls my way they sent girls to call me to try to hook up with me to try to remind me of where i was and i was so committed to where i was going that though i loved them and i invited them to come with me i had to move on with salt in my hands when my decision made them salty i had to move on broke up the group had to move on fast forward life goes on move forward i get married you know my story i get married and i'm sure this is it this is the one i spend seven years in abstinence waiting for the right one i marry a young girl i love her i'm involved with her everything's great we getting saved when i marry her i'm already a pastor i'm already functioning in ministry i'm already moving forward in what god calls me to do and here i guess the opportunity of my lifetime here here i get an opportunity to plant a church i get trained i get lined up i get all the stuff all the tools that's ready and the last thing that they wanted to do was to meet my wife and right when they wanted to meet my wife we was having tension in the home because i knew how to be saved but i didn't know how to be a husband i knew how to be a church but i didn't know how to be a husband i had no balance and we was having tension in the home and when i went back to her to say listen the last thing they want to do is meet you she said i don't want to be met because i don't want to be a first lady but you married me knowing that that was my destiny and now you don't want to be with me when my destiny is about to unfold devastated crush destroy not understanding why how what unreconcilable in the relationship but can you move on with salt in your hands with tears streaming down your eyes my greatest failure in my life try to quit try to quit try to hide out try to hide out in church trying to stop loving sell themselves so i'm not serving no god i'm not preaching no more i'm not doing none of that i'm going to work i'm going to work at a school i'm going to work at a school i'm just going to be regular i'm going to pay my titles i'm going to church i'm gonna be regular and i'm not gonna do it no more i got a son he's my only child in the world i'm gonna love him i'm gonna

more fast forward my life you know how it is and i go to the store i marry a beautiful woman in another city a man calls me my name comes up he calls me gibbs and creates an opportunity for me to serve in that space serving that church do the work everything's good everything great moment in time happens after the transition time of our church he shifts and making announcements and say hey i know that i plan for you to be the pastor but you're not gonna be the pastor i'm calling somebody else to come to be the pastor i love you i believe in you you're gonna make it you're gonna be all right but that's it and you got to move on thank you reverend i needed it we saw it in your hands i'm devastated because i don't know how i got here my now now is deep because now i'll marry my wife and the wife that i married is his granddaughter and now she got to make a decision and she gonna stay with me or stay with her family now she gotta decide if we're gonna be together or she's gonna go back no shade no shade he looks at me with tears in his eyes and saying hey i know this hurts but you're better than this i know this hurts but god has a plan for you and i need you to move on we're starting your hands city was devastated we was devastated i was devastated she was devastated we just cried we just cried jessica we just cried on each other we just drove and cried tears in our eyes we didn't understand but we knew god you had us out here you had to have a plan we didn't want to quit we didn't want to give up we didn't know what to do we waited fast forward god tell us to plant a church called the revolution we love it we go and get his blessing his permission yes did i hear that right yes we went to get his blessing his permission because he was still our pastor he was still our grandfather even though it was an uncomfortable situation because disagreement doesn't mean disconnection when you under the right covering obviously he saw something we didn't see and he knew something we didn't know he gave us his blessing his permission to start a church we started a revolution everybody thought we was crazy i mean after all after what just happened to us we started a church called the revolution you'll get that later sound like we was coming against but we really was just trying to invoke change we had to keep moving forward we saw it in our hands we built a culture with a people in a city that we loved and you know the story god says hey you did it you served it you ain't mad at nobody you wouldn't matter nobody and this season wouldn't matter nobody and that season wouldn't matter nobody another season and every season you passed and you graduated now i'm moving you to the next season and some people won't understand your choice some people want to understand your decision and while you're talking and while you're sharing vision and creating space for them in the next you can feel the grip start to diminish you could feel decisions being made and you can feel people you thought you were connected to for life turn salty and your heart starts beating fast because it's what you know and it's what you're doing god calls you back to your hometown to your city to serve with with a man that has enough coverage and bread and vision and support and god says i need to put you in a different place and it's not because you didn't do something wrong or writing that season it's just because that season served its purpose and because you graduated from every season i need you to go to the next season but you won't go without salting your hands see when you wake up in the next room and you come in the next place of your promotion and you shake hands with the people when the pandemic is over and they can't understand who you are and where you came from but they shake your hand they feel that salt they say oh you got something on you because you have to keep moving when other people didn't understand it see when you walk in the room with salt in your hands you understand your value and your worth when you walk in a room with salt in your hands you they know that oh you already come to play you committed when you walk in when you walk in the room with shawn in your hands they know you're a leader and that your heart has been torn and broken and you ain't mad at nobody when you walk in a room with shawn in the hands there's an anointing on your life that helps you to suck every environment that you get in when you walk in your room with shorting your hands up it recognizes you the sword of the earth and the light
