Notice The Timing | Timing | Part 3 | Jerry Flowers

[Music] I believe that this word today is going to be absolutely amazing mainly because out of all of the segments thus far in our timing Series this one right now is my personal favorite because I believe God is going to use this this particular installment in our timing series to give us a spiritual awareness to be able to notice the timing notice the timing like in other words some things are too coincidental to be a coincidence notice the timing like I need you to notice how Warfare has increased ever since you made your mind up to be Kingdom you may not know what I'm talking about if you haven't made your mind up if you're still like thinking about it you don't know what I'm talking about like I'm talking about the people who are for real for real not for fake for fake but for real for real I'm talking about like you want to pray you want to be holy you want godliness you want Purity there was a time in your life when you didn't want to you had a half to heart and if you're still there that's okay because it starts as discipline before it ever be becomes desire just keep staying in his face then the discipline will transition into desire but I'm talking about have you notice ever since you made your mind up to be Kingdom they came back the comments y'all don't want to talk to me the family members notice the timing and then also on the flip side I need you to notice how the warnings have increased when you try to be sneaky like the back of your neck get hot when I'm preaching the conviction is tough when I'm preaching that's because once you meet Jesus you can never send the same again need you to notice the timing somebody say notice the timing notice the yeah that's what I believe the Holy Spirit wants to do with this particular sermon help my people to notice when I'm moving and help my people notice when I tell them to stop because certain instructions are time sensitive because your obedience is tied to your relevance this is why the devil wants you to have delayed obedience because your obedience is tied to your relevance and you could wait so long to obey that when you finally do obey what you were supposed to obey God in 2006 is not as relevant in 2023 so when I tell you to obey obey because your OB obedience is tied to your relevance so I'm excited about this particular word on today and I believe God wants us to be able to get this revelation of time so that you can learn the value of a moment in that moment versus the value of a moment once it's a Memory Revelation was never designed to be given on your deathbed whatever God is telling you to do do it now somebody say now now now so father God thank you so much for this moment thank you for allowing us to see a new day a day that we never have saw before in a day that we will never see again thank you for allowing us to see a new month the last month of this year and God far be it from us if we get caught up in the commercialization of this time of year God we recognize that it's not about what's under a tree but who hung on the tree which is you so God help us to be focused on what it is that you're trying to say to the hearts of your children I pray that this word will pierce the hearts of men and women so that we will no longer have delayed obedience that we will no longer fall into the traps of the enemy but God we will have King discernment and just like I asked in private I also ask in public anoint me as your Oracle the soundtrack system of Heaven the PA system of Heaven because if you aren't seen this is all vanity we didn't come here to hear from a man we came here to hear from you so God breathe on our encounter breathe on everybody who's watching this online and also in person we're asking that you do it in Jesus name and everybody who agrees that prayer will just shout in the room on the over in the Overflow and online amen amen so I want us to turn our Bibles to the gospel of Mark the gospel of Mark 1 verse 9 is where we're going to launch our reading if you do not have a tangible Bible we'll have it projected for you on the screen the gospel of Mark chapter 1 verse n if you're ready would you shout I'm ready I'm ready it says it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan and immediately coming up from the water he saw the heavens part Ing and the spirit descending upon him like a dove then a voice Came From Heaven you are my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased so we're seeing right here in this passage the godhead God the Father God the son God the holy spirit all in this one particular moment immediately the spirit drove him into the Wilderness notice after the baptism then the Wilderness so everybody who's signing up to get baptized in January this text might be giving you a snapshot of what's coming not the devil but the spirit led him into the Wilderness and he was there 40 days tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered to him now after John was put in prison Jesus came to Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying the time somebody say time time the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent we need more preaching that starts with that first sermon repent and believe in yourself that what the text says repent and get self-help it's not the text says repent and believe in the gospel our verses of emphasis our Clauses of concern are really three segments in our foundational reading that I would like to bring to your attention and your awareness for just a few moments on this Sunday afternoon the first verse I want us to look at again is verse number 11 where the text tells us a voice Came From Heaven saying this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased somebody say confirmation confirmation one more time it's prophetic with somebody say confirmation confirmation okay so before Jesus starts his ministry before Jesus ever walks on water before Jesus ever turns water into wine before Jesus cast out a devil before Jesus transitions from the season of obscurity into the season of exposure we don't know what Jesus was doing from 12 to 30 the only thing the Bible lets us know is during that time Jesus was growing in wisdom in stature and in favor with God and with man in this time frame before Jesus ever starts his ministry he gets confirmation somebody say it one more time confirmation that's what you want before you sign the contract that's what you want before you go on business with them that's what you want before you say I do to that man that's what you want before you say I do to that woman that's what you want before you say For Better or For Worse that's what you want before you start that Ministry well Pastor I know God called me I know I'm called to Ministry I'm not saying he didn't call you but what I am saying is um why is it you can hear God call you to Ministry but you can't hear him call you out of sin I know God called me to preach okay but you can't hear him call you out of Cloud9 hooker Lounge you can't hear him call you out the strip club you can't hear him call you out of cursing people out and tarnishing your witness you can't hear him calling you out of speaking nice in English but um I keep on saying I speak in tongues but I keep on speaking mean in English and mean in Espanol you can't hear him calling you out of chasing fast women and fast money so what you want to do is you cool with having your body count at 20 but you want hers at zero can you hear when okay I'm not sorry my generation requires real confirmation see this is what I was trying to get us to understand in the voices series for part two when I was speaking about did you get confirmation I was trying to get us to understand there's another level of confidence you have once you've been confirmed you walk different once you're in a room knowing you've been confirmed to be there you talk different knowing that you have been confirmed confirmation is tied to confidence maybe the reason your insecurity is so high is because you're doing things that you haven't been confirmed to do you're asking God to confirm what the devil sent and you're confused why God is Not blessing it you need confirmation the beauty of confirmation is no matter how bad it gets come hell or high water regardless if they're talking about me I've been confirmed people leaving I've been confirmed pandemics I've been confirmed I see the storm but I've been confirmed I hear the wind too but I've been confirmed and once I've been confirmed to step out outside the boat I'm not tripping about the elements I'm not tripping about what people say because I've been confirmed God always endorses that which he has confirmed God endorses that which he has confirmed and God confirms that which he has endorsed can we talk nobody said nothing can we talk okay this re RS a blind spot that Satan has been using to steal our time because God confirms what he has endorsed and God endorses what he has confirmed so the blind spot that Satan has been using on how to get us to waste time is he tries to get us to engage in unconfirmed fights and take un confirmed offers see because unconfirmed fights are not fights that God is obligated to help you overcome cuz this fight doesn't Advance the kingdom this fight doesn't give me Glory this fight is due to your petty this fight is due to your ratchet side this fight is due because you knucking and bucking and ready to fight this is this fight so you will end up wasting time fighting fights that don't matter to your assignment wasting time fighting fights that don't matter to your destiny and you're praying God to help you and God's like that's not a confirmed fight the enemy wants us to take unconfirmed offers because wrong offers put us in wrong places and wrong places cause for us to waste time time it's about time it's about time now I want you to consider two more verses and then we're going to work verse 13 same book Mark 1 verse 13 and then we're going to go to verse 15 look at this verse 13 and he was there in the wilderness 40 days tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered to him there then when we go to verse 15 Jesus says the time is fulfilled y'all you can't miss this you can't miss this please don't miss this if you don't remember anything else from this sermon I want you to get this I want you to get this so bad we made a chart so that you can see it okay after salvation this is how it works the first step is confirmation after confirmation then there's preparation please I need y'all to get this confirmation I taught us this what is confirmation it is divine authorization it's when God is showing you this is what you will have authority in in the Earth because this is what I placed you in time to fulfill so when you are confirmed in that area you will have an authority with it you're not flexing you're not trying to get anybody to notice you you just have a Divine Authority in what you have been confirmed to do there's confirmation and then there's preparation that's the longest part see how quiet it is that's the longest part preparation that's where you experience discipleship and regeneration and sanctification and mind renewal it's when God is like okay right now I do understand you have a Promised Land address but you currently have an Egypt appetite okay so I have to deal with your taste buds where you will stop liking those type of men I have to deal with those taste buds where you stop liking those type of women I have to deal with those taste buds because yes the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak so I put you in a place where I can prepare you and anytime you're in preparation Satan always brings Temptation This is derived right from this biblical narrative Jesus get baptized he's confirmed the spirit leads him into a season to prepare himself he's about to launch his Earthly Ministry while he's preparing ing Satan is tempting him now this is the detriment most people never leave the Temptation part they never experience overcoming not because God hasn't given you the power to overcome he told us in the word you are not just a conqueror but you're more than a conqueror by the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit you can overcome pornography you can overcome same seex attraction you can overcome drunkenness you can overcome your lust you can overcome Pride I'm talking to somebody who feels defeated and feels discouraged like you can't get out of this you serve this type of God I don't care what you did just come home you can't overcome the addiction you can't overcome insecurity you can't overcome the trauma don't you dare believe the devil's lies I was made like this that might be true this is why you're called to be born again Born Again overcome overcome look once you experience overcoming that's when you walk into your appointed time are y'all getting this it was after the baptism after the Wilderness after the Temptation that Jesus then said that the time y'all missed it Jesus says the time is fulfill what is Jesus saying the point that has been set in human history the time for the Messiah to come into the Earth and teach his people how to be Kingdom the time for the healing to happen the time for the lame to walk has happened the time for Devils to be cast out is now here the the time for me to build my church is now here the time for me to be crucified die Buri resurrect with all power in my hand have the keys the hell of death in my hand that time is here it's here but first I had to get confirmed I had to be prepared I had to have the enemy try me that's all they did was try I overcame him so now the time is is here the appointed time somebody say time time so I want us to really get this y'all please if I was a noaker I would write this down after confirmation there's always attempted confiscation somebody hit you after confirmation there's always attempted confiscation notice the timing notice the timing before you leave here on today somebody you are getting confirmed right now the enemy is going to attempt to confiscate that word that God has placed in your heart because he is one that tries to steal the seed that God is trying to plant in your heart after confirmation there is always confiscation I want to confiscate your peace I want to confiscate your joy I want to confiscate your hope I want to confiscate your vision I want to confiscate your mental health the devil is a liar his this is his method he tries to take it notice the timing notice the timing notice the timing when you're the most depressed notice when you're the most discouraged notice when you're the most horny notice when you're the most distracted notice when you're the most worried who texts you who calls you it's too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence because Dark Places make space for familiar voices talk Holy Spirit Dark Places make space for familiar voices and your flesh will always rage when you have allowed your past to be an option did y'all hear what I just said your flesh will always rage when you have allowed your past to be an option notice the timing notice the timing notice the timing can we go a little deeper the weeds don't come first the wheat does okay let me show y Bible okay because y'all look cray cray okay Matthew Chapter 13 Verse 24 I don't know how I missed this as many times I preach from this text I didn't see this until this week Matthew Chapter 13 Verse 24 it says Jesus told them another Parable the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field but while every one was sleeping his enemy his enemy his enemy came and sold weeds among the Wheats and went away and I said oh Lord I don't know how I missed this the weeds are never planted first the wheat is you don't get the distraction first you get the blessing first so it's God moves then Satan tricks you never get the distraction first you always get the blessing first and I'm like oh my God this is a this this is revelation for me because this means if I only see the distraction but I don't see the blessing the enemy has me so focused on the distraction that I'm missing the presence of the blessing because the weeds don't get planted first the wheat get planted first so anytime God blesses you the enemy will try to distract you and if there's anybody who feels like I'm not blessed it's because remember time and attention are currency whatever you're paying attention to that's where your focus is going it's not that God isn't blessing you it's that you're paying your time on the distraction this is so profound yeah it's just not it's just been a hard year okay distractions are never first the blessings are first I'm blessed because I have health and strength I'm blessed because I'm sane in my membrane I'm blessed because I'm saved anointed and appointed I'm blessed because my name is written in the lamb Book of Life I'm blessed in the city I'm blessed in the the location doesn't matter the blessings on my life I'm blessed and I think right now we need to pause pull over part put a quarter in the meter and let's give God praise because we're blessed see some of us it's hard for you cuz you're focus on the distraction I'm trying to shift your focus to the blessing you're saved that's the blessing you have Jesus that's a blessing you have life that's a blessing you have Grace that's a blessing you have mercy that's a blessing you've been redeemed that's a blessing you've been Sanctified that's a blessing the weeds are never planted first the weeds are never planted first the wheat is notice the timing notice the timing notice why did the enemy plant after the farmer planted to cause confusion because confusion is a Time waster somebody you're in a relationship right now confused as you want to be God is this your will here's the answer I'm not the author of [Applause] confusion it's not that deep I'm waiting for a sign I'm waiting for a revelation I am not the author of confusion so if this sister leaves you confused brother or if this man leaves you confused that's your sign I I just need more evidence oh you one of them okay you one of them God show me a red flag okay but how red it's going to be [Applause] though somebody say confirmation confir okay so now look Luke chapter 4 verse 13 the exact same scenario just from a different gospel writer Luke 4 verse 13 it says now when the devil had ended every Temptation he departed from him look at this y'all until an opportun time now remember last week we learned that devils and demons are aware of timing too I didn't just leave him alone I'm waiting for the opportune time I I need for us to be people who notice the timing because the devil does I'm waiting for an opportune time I'm trying to give y'all spiritual cheat codes this afternoon here's one he always tempts the most when you're about to make an exit or you're about to enter yes that's that's like a free cheat code I'll just do that in here for free The Temptations are the greatest when you're about to enter into something or when you're about to exit something he departed him for an opportune time see the power of a Temptation or a trap is its ability to blend and the timing if you're a hunter what time does the dough come to the meadow what time do the Bucks come to the forest what what time is the bear going to come to the creek the power and the effectiveness of a good Temptation or a good trap is revealed in its ability to blend and the timing I need to be at the right time and in the right place when are they most likely to lower their standard is it around cuffing season when the wind is a little more brisk that sound effect though it is that when he is a little more prone to compromise because I have trap traps for opportune times when when is he most likely to entertain that woman who is not his wife when is she more likely to entertain that man who's not her husband is it after they got into an argument is it after they got so mad where he got into his car and he left I'm going to make sure their coworker is flirty tomorrow I'm going to make sure that he's extra nice today because I have traps for opportune times when is the time that they're most likely to hang and text that time waster that they're calling a friend you're calling them your girl you're calling them your friend but in the spirit realm that's a Time waster because they keep on bringing the side out of you that you no longer want to be they keep on trying to resurrect parts of you that you trying to keep in the grave so the devil's like this okay I'm going to send them somebody who has a shovel whatever they're trying to bury let me send that X back to see if he could dig up dig up that old thing let me have their mama just randomly text them I haven't heard from Mom in 2 years let me see if she could come back with the shovel let me see if Uncle can text them to ruin their peace on today I try to send people back with shovels to dig up the old you cuz I have traps I'm trying to get us to get this I have traps for opportune times when is the time that they're most likely to watch pornography is it 10:30 at night he had a hard day he's trying to practice Purity this seems like to save sin I'm going have that IG model DM him at 10:30 because that's the time that he's tired oh no it's not 10:30 it's 6:00 in the morning as soon as they wake up okay Bet I'mma have them DM at 4:00 a.m. because the first thing that they do in the am. is not seek the I am but they first seek the phone so when they turn the phone on the first thing that they see preach Holy Spirit he departed for an opportune time time he's waiting see the devil has patience he'll have something hit your life 14 it won't bother to you 26 he will monitor that thing I'm going to wait for the opportune time to see if I can get them to waste it somebody say timing timing let's speak around this thought for this moment for just a few moments notice the timing notice the timing can I get us to say this confession as loud as you can everybody watching I want you to put this in the room and all caps can I get us to say father father expose expose reveal reveal and remove and remove every distraction every distraction that's after my time that's after my time I refuse I refuse to waste my life to waste my life one more time father father expose reveal reveal and remove remove every distraction every distraction that's after my time that's after my time I refuse I refuse to waste my life does anybody believe that all right now while you clapping when God reveals and when he exposes and he removes don't be why CU they're after your time and I love you so much that I will make sure that the person after your time won't steal your time and often times that comes in the form of a breakup ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters as we are now in the last month the last series of the 20203 calendar year this is it can y'all believe we in December when I'm walking in the store and I'm hearing Christmas Time Is Here I'm like really so I was just born what yesterday a as we are in this series and I'm seeking God this week praying engaged in sermon prayer because to the best of my capability and of course to the empowering of the Holy Spirit I always want to say what God wants me to say say God what's beating on your heart that you want me to share with your people why have why are we ending the year with the series on timing and I really do believe that God has constructed this series for two reasons number one he wants us to be aware that you are truly living in the end times I need my people to have a spiritual awareness of the time you are living in you are living in the end times so you can afford to waste time you don't you don't have enough time to do all the nothing that you want you don't have time to do all the nothing that you want spiritual laziness that's over because the worst place that you could ever be in is the same place this year that you were last year spiritual laziness is over I've been trying to get us to understand this listen time is so critical that what you do in your lifetime will affect your afterlife placement therefore forever is comp is composed of many Nows did y'all hear what I just said whatever you do somebody say one more again I like you time is so critical that what you do in your lifetime will affect your afterlife placement therefore for forever is composed of many Nows surrendering to the gospel now accepting Christ now being obedient now or being disobedient now so a simple definition of hell can be this hell is truth seen too late simple definition of hell is truth seen too late I'm like why do we have pastors and ministers who are scared to mention speak on or touch hell when Jesus talked about it through his ministry tenure he constantly was casting out Devils constantly casting out demons and he talked about hell it is a place of weeping and nashing of teeth and if Jesus talked about it and we're here to learn and talk about Jesus why don't we talk about what Jesus talked about truth seen too late I need for my people to have a spiritual awareness that you are living in the end time you don't know how much time you have I understand that this message can be very sobering and a very riveting series you don't know how much time you have why are you living like you do you don't know if you have enough time to rec recover from that choice you don't know help my people first obtain a spiritual awareness that they are living in the end times and then number two I need for them to protect the most precious resource they have their time protect your time protect your time protect your time listen God has allowed for you to be the manager over the department of your time so you hire and fire accordingly God he has allowed for you to be the manager over the department of your time hire and fire accordingly protect your time protect your time youve heard sermons about protect your heart you've heard sermons about protect your peace you've heard sermons about protect your spirit culture preaches protect your energy something just off protect your energy protect okay Kingdom preaches protect your time how long do you protect it Pastor protect it to death protect your time Bible all day let me give you these scriptures Ephesians chapter 5 verse 15 and 16 it says look carefully then how you walk somebody say careful careful look carefully then how you walk not as unwise but as wise look at this making the best use of the time why because the days are evil protect it make the best use don't waste it see if you waste your money you're just out of money if you waste time you've lost a part of your life oh if I can get us to see people like price tags is this a bill or an investment if I can get us to see conversations like that is this conversation a bill or an investment when it's an investment it gives you a return in your assignment when it's a bill it charges you your time if I can get us to have that awareness every conversation every text every time you scrolling on your phone that's a bill R investment are you scrolling reading or are you scrolling just to scroll sitting on the toilet so long till your knees feel like static just scrolling y'all know what I'm talking about somebody was like oh that was me be getting up like scrolling Colossians chapter 4 verse 5 more Bible walk in wisdom toward Outsiders making the best use of the time protect your time notice the timing protect your time notice the timing see when you've learned how to protect your time you no longer view toxicity as entertaining and peace as boring protect your time when you have learned how to protect your time you won't marry them in your head or pursue them without seeing fruit do they have a grape of self control do we have a plum of gentleness do we have a catalou of just just being self-control and patient and G do we have any fruit see light travels faster than sound right this is why some people look bright until you hear them [Music] [Applause] speak all you needed was one conversation you like oh Lord just one you look so bright until you hear him talk just one conversation they don't value Integrity they don't value godliness they don't value pretty God thank you for exposing the fruit now cuz I don't want to waste my time anymore show me fruit on the first conversation first one don't deceive me here it is this might be too real I'm tired of recognizing it was bad fruit after I bit I don't want that help me have fruit inspection [Applause] now somebody say protect the time I promise I'm not sorry my generation requires real you've learned how to protect your time when getting in the word for you is no longer seen as optional it's seen as spiritual oxygen it makes me come alive you've learned to protect your time when the frequency of your no has increased people who are good with protecting their time say no easy because time wasters look for time wasters to spend time with so good talk Holy Ghost so my no is a lot has more frequency not because I'm mean I'm purposeful I'm full of purpose so my know is considering my time needed for my purpose you've learned to protect your time when you could discern who deserves a response versus who needs to be left on [Applause] read I've learned to protect my time remember attention attention and time are currency whatever you're focusing on you're paying well I don't know uh is that biblical I think you should respond to everybody let's look at the Bible and let's just see Matthew chapter 27 uh verse 12 let's just check out this it says when he speaking of Jesus when he was accused by the chief priest and the elders he spoke back to them y'all ain't reading your Bible when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders he spoke back to them he gave no answer this is Jesus then pilot asked him uh don't you hear the testimony that they're bringing against you but Jesus made no reply then it's even more intentional not even to a single charge to the great amazement of the governor see some of us you will look wise if you just know how to be quiet your Folly is exposed by your tongue but Jesus isn't respond responding to he's leaving them on read now the context to this Jesus is like okay I came here to die this is my time to die what I look like wasting time trying to vindicate myself when I know it's my time to die so you can talk all you want to I'm here for this moment I came here to be crucified so why am I going to waste time responding to their accusation what you going to do do it quickly because I came here for this moment Jesus is showing us a powerful principle knowing to hold your tongue is a form of time management talk Holy Spirit knowing when to hold your tongue is a form of time management protect your time protect see for certain people you need to be like an out of service elevator they could push all the buttons they want to but I'm not going to the floor that you commanded I'm out of service to your petty I'm out of service to your disrespect I'm out of service to your cussing people out I'm out of service to what you think about me what you think about me is none of my business but I do know my business though my business is to be Kingdom my business is to be an ambassador of the Kingdom my business is to be a light in Dark Places my business is to preach the gospel sometimes the answer to your problem is knowing what's not your problem what they think about me that's not my problem see this is hard for all of my clapback in the room I know for all of those who are anointed to clap back I I know that it could be difficult for you especially when you feel like I let that heer slide last week last time she said something I didn't say nothing cuz I didn't have time oh but today I got time cuz today I got time what did you say run it back for me please what did you say say a little [Applause] louder I know that this might be a little harder for you to not respond to the racial slur to not respond to the comments I'm not just telling you something I don't practice I see the comments I just don't don't respond to it because I understand that time is currency and I don't have time to waste time trying to respond to somebody who doesn't know me okay um I'm not asking you to be a doormat I disagree Pastor were you asking us to be a doormat no I'm asking for you to be Christlike you see that I'm asking for you to know when to give no reply because remember after confirmation there's always attempted confiscation okay so I want us to really really get this this list I just want to help you I just want to help you be able to protect your time especially around the holidays when it comes to dealing with people okay let me help you let me give you some points before you clap back before you respond consider this number one does this person even know me not aware of me but know me like I told us before if they know me they could call me they don't have my number they don't know me everybody who knows me has access to me so before you respond do they know me okay number two before you clap back to that um is this individual a necessary component to my spiritual Evolution or my maturity in Christ meaning do they help me grow so if you come to small group and your small group leader says something to you that stings a little bit but they help you grow and what they told you was the truth but you just don't like it because the truth always offends Those Who Love Lies so when they tell you a truth and you don't like it it's not that church toxic it's I don't like the truth but they help me mature before I respond back clap back do they help me grow up and number three this is my favorite before you respond to clap back consider this do they even have the mental maturity or emotional intelligence enough to have or converse with me from a different perspective outside of the one they have in their head or the one that they came up with due to somebody telling them something about me if you can just consider those basic three things it'll help you from not clapping back sometimes no response is your response that's me no I'm protecting my time I'm protecting my time protecting your time exposes your habits because habits produces habitation now habitation means where something dwells so put it together your habits are the place where your time dwells the mosto so good protecting your time exposes your habits because habits produces habitation habitation that's where something dwells so your habits that's where your time dwells the most so time is stolen or time is invested by your habits show me your habits and you just show me if you're a Time waster or a Time investor because habits that's where your time dwells have a Netflix habit that's where your most time is have a Xbox habit that's where most of your time is have an Amazon shopping habit that's where most of your time is wherever your habit is that's where your time is y'all should see the look on y'all faces hear me all of us from the pull pit to all of the chairs and everybody watching online we are all a compilation of our habits all of us we first make a choice with our time then our choices make habits and then our habits make us one more time we're all a compilation of our habits everybody we first make a choice with our time then our choices make habits and then our habits make us okay okay so you have to understand this you are never going to rise at the level of your goals without addressing the level of your habits whatever goal you have you're I want to read the whole Bible in 2024 and I I have a whole sermon I'm going to deal with that I'm like how we have all these Christians you've been saved for 20 years you never read the whole Bible at least once that's why false prophets can have a congregation because hold a sermon okay your your your habits are where your time is spent and you can't reach the level of your goal without addressing the level of your habits change is the outcome of aund choices everyone count it I'm teaching right now change is the outcome of your choices hundreds of choices you have to make if you want to change every single one counted if we don't confront our habits our time will protect your time protect your time God wants to wake us up to maximizing our time but unfortunately many of our habits keep hitting snooze trying to wake you up maximize your time your habit keeps on that's your habit that's your routine and so I'm like okay Holy Spirit help me give me I really pray for illustrations I do I don't Google I pray I say God how can they see this where it's forever embedded in their mind where the word can take root the word must take root because seeds grow down before they grow up so when the word is planted in your heart God give it depth don't let us be so caught up with platform anything that grows up quick doesn't have strong roots let this word take roots and I believe God answered my request I want us to see this chart and as this illustration I want us to see a few points so we can go home okay this is how I believe it works there's purpose okay before you in your mother W before you were in your mother's womb God knew you so he has an assignment for you somebody say assignment assignment okay so I have a purpose so I give you I first form you and then after I form you I give you time what is that that's your birthday I give you time while you're in time what's the next thing I do I call you that's getting saved born again because I called you so that I could tell you what you're supposed to use your time for so that when you die you could hear well done is this making sense okay there's this picture of my wife and I just want to kind of use a personal example of how this works there's this picture of my wife and I I screenshot it because I I totally forgot about this last Sunday once I left church I was getting tagged and I looked at one of the memories this is November the 30th 2019 remember I told you God told me try me in 2019 so I posted right here 32 days left I was I was already thinking about time way back then 32 days left and this beautiful woman and I will be pastoring together every Thursday night in Houston Texas at time of Celebration Ministries church excited is an understatement I had no idea in a few months a pandemic's going to happen trying to get you to see how your yes is time sensitive I said no what if I would said no for a year people were aware of the ministry March of 2020 I had no idea when we started Thursday night there were what 30 people here and I was preaching just like this hard sweating on my clothes nothing has changed the only thing that's changing is I'm getting older but my passion my Zeal for Jesus none of that has changed I had no idea your yes is time sensitive because what's about to come on the land is about to cause for people to be quarantined and they're going to be looking for me so I'm telling you to say yes so when they look for me they could hear me through you it's not about you you're just dirt you don't get caught up in yourself arrogance is so stupid because we're all just a hunk of dust and when we die we are all going back to D dust some of us are vanilla dust white dust Asian dust you don't you're still dust that's it but I just want you to just see just just me just my life just using it as a testimony if I would have waited I don't think y'all would be here now let's put the chart back on the screen and whoever I asked uh torren and Terence I want y to come here put the chart back on the screen first thing there's purpose okay so um I want Amber and teren y'all can come over here matter of fact all of y'all you can go down there all come right here I'mma represent God you too Amber and uh Terence I'm going represent God space out just space out Amber and Terence y'all stay over there camera people I know I'm working you but follow me okay so y'all could just face that way because you're called to reach people now I'mma represent God okay I created you I formed you and so now Dre it's your birthday here's some time okay teren Torrance here's some time all right Chelsea here's some time so now they're in time and I have given them time to fulfill a purpose that I've given them but they don't know me yet so what I do is I call them now I'm I'm going to call Dre but Terrence I want you to stop him okay so I know there's something that Dre has been born to do so Dre come meet me over here now don't wrestle him just stop him okay res you resist you resist now Terrence take his clock take his clock take it take it now look y'all y'all y'all stay close like y'all are boys y'all boys I'm calling Dre there's a purpose I have for you Dre I have a mission for you to complete Dre is calling Terren his boy but God calls it a Time stealer there's something I need for you to do there's something I'm call so he's wasting all of his time with his boys okay I gave him time he we don't know how much time he has but he hasn't came to get his assignment yet that's responding to the gospel because he's entertaining the wrong people now I call Chelsea Chelsea I want you to come here Amber you try to stop her but Chelsea you just kind of move around so I call Chelsea there's a work Chelsea been listening to the timing series come on up here Chelsea Amber you done you done Chelsea been listening to the timing series she's been taking notes so now she could identify a Time waster with ease because she's been given the wisdom so now I have an assignment for you I need you to be a worshipper in the earth not just a worshipper in your own personal time I need that because that's for your growth but you're going to be a worshipper for public assembly you're going to lay the red carpet and bring people into my presence and as I introduce her to assignment I begin to walk with her and I begin to talk with her now she stays here she knows what she's supposed to do do with her time and she has her assignment now Torrance come here I have an assignment for you he don't have nobody distracting him but himself because life is filled with distractions don't you be your own distraction now I want to show you what a lot of people do in 2023 I call you and I say hey this is your assignment I need you to really really help me to seek out those who don't get Justice I need you to be a lawyer I need you in the marketplace they're never going to come hear Jerry they're never going to come hear these other preachers but they're going to hear you and I need you in your career to fight for justice now walk away he started with me but then he left me J he left me you know why cuz he cared about his platform so good he cared about his platform he cared about what he want wanted to do now this is what judgment will look like all of y'all come here except Amber and uh um Terrence okay now when we stand before God what did you do with the time I gave you what did you do with the time I gave you what did you do with the time I gave you one represents nothing whole life wasted time never got an never knew his assignment never knew what he was supposed to do see Warren be acting like you if he was here never fulfilled his all he did Girls Club that's all he were worried about his whole life so you never fulfilled your assignment you you were obedient what I ask you to do well done my good and faithful servant you forgot your first love I called you but then you just walked away from me you didn't study because you wanted Revelation you studied because you want more of a following which one is you this is so good y'all which one is you which one and I want that to be embedded in our brain our birthday is God giving us time salvation is God telling you calling you for what you're supposed to do with your time obedience and surrendering to the gospel trusting the power of the Cross being filled with the Holy Spirit and living your life for Jesus that's how you get well done that's it that's it so few points and I'm done how do I notice the timing and I don't waste my time number one seek God's Direction before selection that's Point number one how do I not waste my time how do I notice the timing I always seek God's Direction before selection okay the problem with many of us myself included is we often do second things first you do it then ask God seek God's Direction before your selection number two how do I not waste my time and notice the timing beware of your halt moments what does halt mean when you're hungry when you're angry when you're lonely when you're tired notice what you do with that time when you're hungry where do you go and I'm not talking about just food when you're angry where do you go the best place for you to go is to the gym nobody said amen Lord best place when you're angry because when you're angry you could do something with your time I think that's what makes prison so bad it takes your time and you can never get it back you could do something when you're angry that can cause for you to murder kill now you're in prison and now you're wasting all of this time because you didn't know how to handle the moment of anger lonely what do you do when you're lonely that's huge because the enemy waits for an opportune time when you're tired this is just me I'm more goofy when I'm tired anybody else like that and I I got this Revelation in college man maybe that's why parties at night cuz you you already goofy then you going to be drunk and then music vibrations are throwing off your equilibrium you going to make all types of wild decisions but the enemy waits for an opportune time number three how do I not waste my time and notice the timing not yet doesn't mean no not yet doesn't mean no don't create an ishmail because God has taken too long with Isaac okay not yet doesn't mean no there's this loading symbol okay this loading symbol that I know I hate when I see this that I don't know if y'all ever seen this I I hate this symbol but really it means three things number one something is coming that's a whole word I could do a sermon on it something is coming it means something is coming number two you have too many tabs open if I didn't need my water I throw it you got too many doors open you're stuck on loading because the enemy has too much access that's what this loading symbol means and number three anytime you get this loading symbol it means you're connection is bad you don't have enough power not because I'm not giving you the power but you haven't connected to a strong then the last point and we can go home and this is something that really has been blessing me lately especially as we're praying and asking God for a larger facility number four it's already done it's already done every appointed time it's already done you just haven't got there yet but it's already done I'm going prove this in the Bible John 21:4 look at this early in the morning this is after Jesus resurrected from the grave early in the morning Jesus stood on the shore but the disciples did not realized that it was Jesus he called out to them friends haven't you any fish fish no they answered I'm like Jesus you're funny you're God you know they don't have no fish verse six he said throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some when they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter it is the Lord then I was like oh I get it I get why Jesus said hey y'all got any fish no he's like okay I already called y'all to be Fishers of Men why are you going back to fishing for fish that old stuff it don't work anymore huh the weed it don't hit anymore huh yeah the cheap sex it don't hit like it used to huh it don't hit follow my instruction and then you going to catch what you want to catch and once they caught it they said oh this the Lord as soon as Simon Peter heard him say it's the Lord Lord he wrapped his outer garment around him for he had taken it off and jumped into the water the other disciples followed in the boat toy the net full of fish for they were not far from Shore about a 100 yards watch this y'all when they landed they saw a fire they saw a fire of burning coals there was fish on it and some bread okay hold up hey y'all got any fish no go on the right side y'all going to catch some they come to the Lord fire is burning so technically it was already done I'm already cooking while you're out here trying it's already done the building we're going to get it it's already done we just have to come to the shore be obedient trust his timing it's already done it's already done and that encouraged my heart because it lets me know when I follow the instructions for them thr the on the right side when I follow the instructions of God and I come to him he's going to show me I've already prepared a place for you it's already done what are you having so much anxiety about that God is saying it's already done my God why did you make them fish you maximize your time but what I have for you to eat it's already done fire it's hot it's not cold I've been waiting for you I've been waiting for you this word God is saying I've been waiting for you the peace is already done just come here the hope it's already done just come here it doesn't work anymore does it come over here I got you it's already done so God in this moment thank you for being the god of already already have the peace already have the joy all of that could be found in you heighten our spiritual awareness oh Lord Lord holy spirit guide us be that wonderful counselor so we don't waste our time and also most importantly open our eyes so that we could identify time wasters clearly so that we don't understand that we're being distracted until after we have been distracted give us the wisdom so that we can maximize our time in Jesus name we pray amen were you blessed on [Applause] today
