"Over My Head" - Sarah Jakes Roberts

hallelujah I wish there were just a couple believers who didn't need any music to continue lifting up the name of Jesus I wish there were just a couple people in this room who recognize that there is no name greater than the name of Jesus can we lift up his names Los Angeles can you help me Denver can you help me can we fled the earth with the name of Jesus can I hear the sound of kingdom can I hear the sound of heaven touching birth Los Angeles make some noise didn't for Colorado let me hear you lift up your savior that was Jesus [Music] there's something about that name I'm still learning and I'm still walking up this thing called life but what I know is that there's something about the name of Jesus I've seen it in my own life where depression couldn't hold me when I started saying the name of Jesus and to be in a room full of believers literally in Los Angeles California with our hundreds of people lifting up the name of Jesus here in Denver there are hundreds of people lifting up the name of Jesus can we have a praise battle real quick with our LA campus I wonder who could touch heaven first I wonder who can touch heaven first I wonder what would happen if we all over this nation started lifting up Jesus name I wonder how many marriages could be safe diction could be broken I wonder how many demons would start flinging out a household when we lift up your name [Music] you're the only reason why we're here so we love you and we acknowledge you and we ask that you would continue continue to meet with us and sit with us can you just take a moment and just greet the person beside you say I'm so glad I get to lift up the name of Jesus with you if you're in LA can you turn to your neighbor and say I'm so glad that I get to lift up the name of Jesus with you where two or three are gathered in his name there he shall be in the midst every time I turn to my neighbor I get a little more Jesus every time I hung on the person beside me I get a little Lord Jesus I get an overflow of his spirit I get to feel his love permeating my situation my husband and I passed iterate we greet you with Jesus joy if you're visiting for the first time we just love you acknowledge you can you wave at us if you're visiting for the first time and if you're by your first time guest can you take a minute to just welcome them to the potter's house at one la or The Potter's House it didn't really welcome you we welcome you and I think you'll find that there is no place quite like where you are if you know that this church is blessing people in changing lives can you just let them know that they are in the right place on this earth Sunday morning it's all right with you I came to receive a word from God and I came to give a word from God so I want to jump right into the word if you're visiting for the first time you may notice that in a minute all of us are going to stand and we're going to stand for the reading of the word it's just our way of acknowledging how holy this moment is and so if you're like us and you're going to stand we would certainly want to welcome you to stand for this moment if you can do it I promise you won't have to stand throughout the entire service like me unless you would like to just show your sign of support in LA we appreciate you standing as well I'm going to be speaking from Matthew 10 and 16 and I believe as I was praying that that God was showing me who was going to be in this room and he was telling me as I was praying and I was asking God what is it that you need for us to hear in LA what is it that you need for us to hear in Denver what is the word that you want to go throughout all of the earth and he said I need my people to understand that though it may feel like they are in over their head that they are exactly where I need them to be in this season if that's for you can you make some noise if you've been wondering what in the world is going on I came here to let you know I'm prophesying over your life we haven't even gotten in the word you are exactly where you need be in this season God said you wouldn't even see yourself clearly if I wouldn't have put you in over your head and now that you're in over your head you understand what I think of you so I want to I want to get into the word Matthew 10 and 16 for those of you who like to take notes my subject is in fact over my head Matthew 10 and 16 it says behold I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves but beware of men for they will deliver you up to counsels come on somebody the very people who you thought you could count on may end up being the people who walk away from you Jesus says to the disciples beware of men for they will deliver you up to councils and scour jury in their synagogues you will be brought before governors and Kings for my sake as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles but when they deliver you up do not worry about how or what you should speak for it will be given to you in that hour when you feel like you're in over your head when you don't know how the ends are going to be when you start to question your ideas and your creativity Jesus says to the disciples don't worry about it for in that hour I will give you what to speak for it is not you who speaks but the Spirit of your father who speaks in you spirit of the Living God we need you to speak we didn't come here to hear our favorite past or to hear our favorite song we came to hear a word from you and so God we're asking that your anointing would flow throughout this building that it would flow so far out of this building that it reaches Los Angeles California that it would flow all the way out of Los Angeles that it touches Europe and Africa in Asia God we need you to flood the earth there's too much going on and if God you don't give this vision and clarity and insight we don't know what we'll do or who we will become but in this moment we know that you can give us divine insight and wisdom about our lives so we open ourselves up to your truth into your word and we ask that this word will meet us right where we are God and as your vessel I just turned myself over to you without you I am nothing I can do nothing or say nothing that changes lives but with you I believe that generational curses can be broken with you I believe that strongholds could come down with you I believe that healing could be manifest so God I am asking that it is you and you alone that stands before your people and that you would use any and every part of me at your disposal so that lives may be changed and come to know you in a fresh new way in Jesus name I pray and then Denver you may be seated Los Angeles you make it comfortable I was thinking I was in Los Angeles yesterday and the weather is so gorgeous and then as we were driving here today the weather and the Sun is out and it looks so gorgeous and I can remember as a little girl anticipating days like this because I knew that it meant that summer was coming and because I knew that summer was coming I knew that I would get to spend all day long in the swimming pool I don't know about you but I just love swimming as a little girl I used to love swimming so much that I would literally pray that one of my siblings would just pushed me into the pool and now that I am an adult I realized that there are some things that we end up leaving in childhood because as an adult I realize that if someone pushed me into the pool I may catch a case I know you guys are very saved here in LA and that you guys don't catch cases anymore because God has touched you and transformed you he's still working on your girl if somebody threw me into the pool and expectedly I would have an issue with that because there's a certain level of preparation I have to have before I jump into the pool my edges needs to be tended to properly I need to make sure that everything is glued down and tacked down properly you can't just throw me into the pool I need preparation before water goes over in my head amen all right I need preparation before the water goes over my head I really wish that life understood that I like to have preparation before I am in over my head for some reason life doesn't seem to understand that I don't like to just be thrown into the deep end yeah I thought I was applying for a job I didn't realize that I was applying for a headache some kind of way when I am pursuing life I end up in such a situation that before I know it I'm in over my head sometimes I don't even recognize that I'm in a stressful situation until my body starts telling me how you stressed I'm in I'm in over my head and and I'm trying to figure out how I am supposed to navigate when I don't exactly know who I am supposed to be in this very moment because I recognize that the tools that I had before don't work in this particular season and that the things that I knew from the last season don't apply to this season I wish I had some people in this room who knew what it was like to be a blank canvas that all of a sudden I had everything figured out and now the only thing that I know is that I know nothing at all I'm in over in my head I don't know if the job is gonna work out I don't know what's happening with the marriage I don't know if the kids are gonna be okay and Here I am still trying to function but I'm in over my head and so as I was studying and preparing I wanted to find something in scripture that relates to those of us who are just in over their head just a little bit I'm not saying I'm giving up I'm not saying I'm backing down sometimes you have to let the enemy know that because he will take the fact that you are stressed and make you believe that it's quitting time but I just believe before I even get into the word I don't know what you're in over your head and maybe it's your career maybe it's your family maybe it's your marriage but if the only thing you can do is stand and say devil I rebuke you no weapon formed against my life will prosper sometimes the only thing that you can do when you are in over your head is make a decision that I'm not gonna quit I'm not gonna die I'm not going to try and I don't know what's gonna happen but what I do know is that I've never seen the righteous forsaken what I do know is I that I've never seen they'd seed begging for bread I know whose I am even when I'm in over my head because I know who was over my head and so Jesus is preparing to send the disciples out what I love about Jesus is when he's first and gathering their disciples he comes up to them and he says I will make you fishers of men Jesus doesn't go up to the disciples and and tell the disciples I'm going to send you out of sheep amongst wolves because I wonder how many of us would have signed up for that signing up to be fishers of men it sounds exciting I want to bring this dream opportunity into your life it sounds exciting but for some reason he doesn't tell them that there is going to be a moment and purpose a moment on your journey a moment in destiny where you end up over your head and so before he gets ready to sin send them out he sanctifies them he anoints them he gives them the power to cast out demons he gives them the power to perform miracles which was such a sign to me because what it meant to me is that before we end up over our head that he anoints us before we're even in front of the situation I wish I could say that the way that I see it in Matthew we learned that Jesus the greatest Shepherd there ever is we'll leave the 90 nine to go get the one lost sheep but we don't ever talk about how that same Jesus will take his sheep and send it out we depend so greatly on if I get lost he'll come and find me but no one talks about how he ends up sending us out as sheep amongst wolves how he trusts us after he he goes and finds us as a lost sheep and he brings us into our fault into his fold and he gets our mind right and he helps us to see things clearly he never talks about how ultimately that I did not bring you back into the fold so that you could stay in the fold I brought you back into the fold so that I could equip you enough to send you out and trust you in the rooms when I send you out what I'm saying is that when Jesus goes and gets the lost sheep it's not so that they could become good at doing Church he gets the lost sheep so he could teach the lost sheep how to be a sheep in a pack full of wolves man I gotta say it the way I studied it in the way he gave it to me because I feel like there are some people in this room who are running with wolves and they're losing their identity and they're wondering God have you lost me and you don't recognize it what he's saying is I see you so properly that I could trust you in rooms where everyone else has bad intentions but you came in for the right reason because I equipped you I did not just save you so that you could be like everyone else I saved you so that I could send you out and you could gather people who look like you I wish I had some people who understood I didn't get saved for my own selfish purposes I didn't come to church so that I could feel good I came to church so that I could be equipped amongst other sheep and then I could go out amongst wolves and show them the beauty and being saved by a savior who sees you fully I want to talk about the Jesus who sends you out the Jesus who pulls you in who breaks the relationships off of you that are toxic the Jesus who pulls you in when he breaks your heart to heal your heart I want talk about the Jesus who pulls you in so that he can ultimately send you out again some people know that Jesus pulled them in but they're too afraid to be sent out because they're afraid that they'll turn back into the sheep that he had to pull in in the first place but I hear God saying that when I pulled you in that I made everything work together for your good and that I gave you wisdom and perspective and anointing that would allow you to go back out and bring in other sheep I don't know who that is for I need to move on to my next topic but God won't release me to let this go because I hear God's saying it's time for someone to be sent out it's time for someone to actually write the book it's time for someone to actually get into the industry where they say that Christians don't even fit so that you could establish the kingdom in that industry I wish I had some people who didn't mind going to war with the devil who did mind being the only sheep in a room full of wolves because I am so sure about who God has called me to be that your disease won't be contagious my anointing is a shield no weapon formed against me has prospered I've seen them work in my life and so now when I walk into a room I don't need your validation I have something to give it I see now this is a message maybe maybe they're not here maybe it's in LA this is a message for for game changers this is a message for world changers this is a message for someone who has been sitting on the sidelines and Jesus is saying it's time for you to get in the game it's time for you to up your mentality it's time for you to understand that I'm ready to send you out if you know that God has been talking to you about starting that idea about getting that forgiveness in your heart so that you could be sent out can you make some noise can you lift up a shower can you praise him like you're already sent out can you praise him like the door has already been open that's cute for those of you who want to stay in a routine but for those of you who know turn me up in the microphone I'm not leaving this stage until chains are broken off for people who are ready to be sent out I'm not putting the microphone down until somebody is sent out into prisons until someone is sent out into rehabs until someone is sent out to save someone who used to be a lost sheep just like them I'm ready to be sent out I'm ready to go to a war with the devil when I came into this room I didn't say I want to shout I said God give me something today that helps me go to war for my family give me something today that helps me go to war against my fear that helps me go to war against insecurity I'm ready to be a sheep again amongst wolves you can send me out you can trust me I learned my lesson I earned my scars I received my anointing I humble myself under the mighty hand of God if you're gonna use anybody in this earth God please use me send me out into politics send me out into healthcare send me out so that I can deposit a God idea in a dying world so that I can deposit a resurrecting idea and a dying industry so that I can bring hope back into my family sometimes being a sheep amongst wolves means that you're the only sheep in your household and you got to learn how to live in this household that's toxic and bitter and you know that you know that God has ordained you to be there and so God I need you to teach me not how to become like the wolves I see and laid em free you got to hear me when Jesus sends you out as a sheep amongst wolves the most dangerous thing my husband says it all the time is that you're not able to see yourself and most of the time we define ourselves by what we see which means that we can be a sheep amongst wolves and think we are a wolf but not realize that we're actually a sheep that means that we can be in the same industry we could be around the same group of friends but not really be like them at all because we were a sheep Jesus and I think our greatest challenge is remaining as sheep and not becoming wolves I'm gonna take my time for a minute because I recognize that sheep's sheep are the most defenseless animal there is they are prey they're like the bottom of the food chain and their intentions are are to just live and exist but most of the time they're surrounded by people who just want something from them and so when Jesus says to be a sheep amongst wolves it means that you have to recognize that not everyone is going to be for you but you can't allow that to make you Jade it or bitter what if our biggest issue is trying to remain defenseless in a world that makes us want to build walls and a life that often makes us want to become savages and predators and they say I'm giving up on people and I'm giving up on love I was around too many wolves and they took from me and now I don't know who I am so the only thing I can do is become like them if you can't beat them join them I had good intentions my heart was in the right place but I still ended up wounded I don't want to be a sheep anymore last time I was a sheep it cost me too much but yet Jesus says in this text that I'm sending you out as a sheep so don't forget that you are a sheep even when you are surrounded by wolves you're still a sheep oh I feel that for somebody you went through the divorce you served the time you you survived rape and molestation you feel like you lost your innocence but I came here to tell you you're still a sheep that life couldn't take that from you yeah I know I don't know everything that you went through but what I'm telling you is that everyone in this room has had moments where they felt like they were no longer sheeps and yet God has promised us that as long as we stay connected to him as long as we recognize his grace and His mercy I still give you the ability to lay hold of your sheep identity you know why you can be a sheep because God says I will be your shepherd I will look out for you I will take care of you I will make sure that no harm comes to you you can still be a sheep you can still forgive you can still love again you can still be vulnerable you can still be that woman of integrity you can still be that man who walks in integrity in spite of what you've gone through don't let life rob you of that sheep that's down on the inside of you and so as we jump into the text and we see that Jesus is preparing the disciples to go out he says I sent you out as sheep in the midst of wolves therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves why does he tell us that we can be wise like a serpent but also not to use our wisdom as a weapon my mother I think my husband said this a couple weeks ago my mother has this saying my parents are from West Virginia their country and this number I was born in West Virginia namibian country I love being country but my mother says things like just because you graduated don't burn the schoolhouse down you get it it's powerful you're gonna use it from now on I promise you as soon as somebody is basically I'm gonna break this down cuz y'all city folks okay it means that just because you have come to a level of understand in your life when you look back at someone else don't judge them so harshly just because you graduated let's not burn the school hands down there's still people and the school has if I didn't say anything else that was a word for somebody Jesus says I want you to learn how to use your wisdom man because so many of us are so glad to have wisdom and to have knowledge and to have understanding that often times we use it as a weapon against other people so even though you are as sheep amongst wolves and mind you that Jesus has already given them the power to cast out demons and say heal people he tells him don't use your power against the wolves because that would be a waste of your power I didn't send you here to fight every rumor and every gossip that ever came up against you that's not what you're here for I do brought you here so that you could be healed so that you could be healed and you could create healing and other people I brought you here not to fight low level Wars I brought you here to do something for your family that no one else could do but you don't get into a battle with the wolves just because I gave you the wisdom I need you to learn how to use it so he says he says be wise as serpents and harmless as doves when you learn how to understand the wisdom that I've given you you're going to recognize that it's not necessary for you to use it to hurt other people can I tell you this is when it got good to me in verse 17 LA I want you to listen it says be why is this serpents and harmless as doves but to beware of men first of all Jesus is giving them a lot of information at one time be a sheep amongst wolves be wise but also be harmless live your life in such a way that people aren't offended by your existence just because you have an opinion just because you have a knowledge doesn't mean that you have to activate it every chance you get make sure you enter your knowledge has wisdom make sure your experience has wisdom make sure your mouth has wisdom yes you know the answers but do you know how to deliver the answer what it says to me is just because you know something doesn't mean you know how to deliver it see so many people who just take off at the mouth I see I'm country to just take off at the mouth with their wisdom not recognizing that if you place your wisdom into somebody at a time that they are not ready to receive it you can do more damage to them than had you just kept your mouth closed and pray can you pray that God would give you an opportunity to unleash your wisdom so that you don't hurt someone in the process of trying to help them he says but beware of men in order for us to be sheep amongst wolves and for us to understand the complexities of being in over our head we have to recognize there is the difference between wolves and men yeah i'ma let that sink in just a little bit because wolves have bad intentions from the start wolves pray and men betray with good intentions when you're in over your head you don't always know who to trust or who was in your circle and so Jesus says to the disciples I want you to watch out for the wolves but who you really need to beware of are the men because men with good intentions will often place doubt and insecurities and fear on your path and so you have to recognize that the main thing you have to be concerned about is men and I love this because as the texts continue we learned that the men who ultimately end up betraying this disciples ultimately help us get to God's purpose on the earth but we have to recognize that along this journey when we're in over our head that it is perfectly normal to reassess relationships that it is perfectly normal to make sure that we are positioning people properly because if we are not careful we will betray ourselves by having someone positioned too closely in a season where God needs us to have some distance I got to say how I studied it cuz I don't want to lose the room la if you're with me can you make some noise can somebody let me know that I'm in the right place in the right building sometimes men can be so convinced that they're right even when they're wrong about you that they end up betraying you and making you second-guess who you are and the reason why you have to be where have been because the same men that the disciples are going to encounter are the the men who they went to the temple with there were the men who they did life with and he says I'm telling you that the very people who knew you before me may be the ones that betray you after me I need you to understand that not everyone is growing at the same pace that you're growing and if you aren't careful some people are going to pull you back when I'm trying to push you forward so make sure you know who you're looking at when you pledge your loyalty and devotion Jesus says beware of men and he says that you have to beware of men because they will deliver you up to councils and scoured you in their synagogues with good intentions it's not like the men who we're going to do this are going to do it because they think ill of you they're just trying to help you but in the process of some people trying to help you they end up hurting you what am I saying I'm saying that that person who is telling you that that God idea that you've been given isn't going to work out they don't have bad intentions but you got to beware of men who don't understand what God is calling you to do the disciples were called I feel the presence of God on that the disciples were called to do something for the kingdom and they had to beware of men who were close to them because the men may not understand what they are called to do the men may not understand why you're going back to school at 50 years old that's all right you don't have to get approval for men to do what God has called you to do and if you live your life searching for their validation then you will die when you don't receive it but when you get serious about what God has called you to do you'll know that I don't need you to campaign for me I'm already elected I don't need you to campaign for my purpose I need you to campaign for what God has called me to do I'm already convinced that God saved me for a reason he saved me for this very purpose I'm gonna make this thing work whether you get beside me and help it work or not all I really need to know is who is for me and who is against me because I will not be stopped I will not stop doing what God has called me to do God please help me get this word down into the hearts of your people our country is depending on it how our families are depending on them recognizing that you do not need men to validate you Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus how did you walk this earth and they said hallelujah one day and crucify him the next because you knew what you were called to do Jesus impart into us a type of spirit that allows us to stay focused even when the people who we thought would understand us don't understand what you've called us to do sometimes I feel like I want men to say you're doing well more than I want to hear you say well done can we have a real talk in this room but I'm coming to a place when I'm in over my head I realized that I can't receive every opinion and so now I just need to know that when the men are betraying me the church still with me eventually the very men that Jesus said to beware of would learn that the disciples were doing something that would benefit all of them but it would take time for the plan to unfold before they realized that I wasn't just in this thing on my own sometimes you have to bury yourself in tunnel vision to manifest what God told you but when you come out you've got something to give everybody because you took a minute to bury yourself in tunnel vision when everyone else is going out I had to stay in cuz I was focused on something when everyone else was giving up on their marriage I had to huddle in and go to counseling because I was focused on something when everyone else had the opportunity to just go apply for a job I applied for a small business loan because I recognized I was shooting for something and I had to go low and I had to have tunnel vision so that when I came back up I had something again the disciples had to go low man I feel the presence of God in this room the disciples had to be willing to go low so that they could ultimately come up higher they had to be willing to lose some things in the process so that they could come up in the long run they had to be willing to sacrifice on this end so that God could be exalted in the long run I'm not in this thing on my own and it'll all make sense when it's all said and done why I had to shut down some relationships why I had to move out of that city it all makes sense when God gets finished you're looking at my story in the middle of the chapter but I'm telling you I know what God said to me and when it's all said and done you're going to see that I didn't lose my mind that I wasn't going crazy but as a matter of fact I was building an ark before there was any rain [Applause] I feel like I feel like shaking up hail I feel like being a church girl for a minute I know the message isn't even really finished but I feel like serving notice on hell that I'm gonna come out on the other side I feel like serving notice on somebody that I just got my fight back I'm gonna move on in the message in a minute but I feel like letting this devil know that she shot your best shot at me you tried to make me drown but God had given me the tools to building the ark when I was in over my head I didn't know how I was gonna do it I didn't know how the bills were gonna be met but God gave me a plan and I thought I was in over my head but he was standing over me telling me when to move and how to walk and what to think yeah yeah yeah yeah he's gonna impart something in this room and they make some noise if you're ready to receive something didn't burn let me hear you if you're ready to receive something I'm ready to come out on the other side I'm ready to figure out why it had to be me I'm not in over my head I'm figuring out who I am I'm not in over my head I'm pressing in to God I'm not in over my head I'm being stretched so that I can lay hold of what he's called me to be I'm not in over my head I'm learning in a fresh new way [Music] [Applause] somebody crazy is in this room somebody crazy is watching on the livestream somebody crazy what you mean crazy I mean generational curse breaking crazy I mean idea manifesting crazy I mean vision pursuing crazy I mean no weapon formed against me will prosper crazy I came to kill every idea that is exalting itself above the knowledge of who God has called you to be Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus don't play you know he'll come don't play you know he'll find you Jesus Jesus I'm trying to be like Jesus Jesus is teaching their disciples how to walk like him Jesus is teaching you in this season how to walk like him to not need man to approve you to walk in the rooms that are bigger than you and they trust that when I step in the room the words are going to be given to me when I step into marriage God's gonna show me how to love you when I step in the business room he's gonna show me how to speak a language with no degree and no lawyer and no agent because he's over my head so I can I can afford to be in over my head as a matter of fact that's the only way I want to live because as long as I'm in over my head it gives him the ability to be the play caller in my life you didn't pull me in to keep me in you pulled me in to send me out and you didn't send me out with any plan or any roadmap and if I'm honest sometimes that's scary but I needed a reminder that though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I don't have to fear any evil as a sheep because your rod and your staff they're comforting me so wolves have to back off of me and generational curses can't hold me and insecurity has to loose its hold and depression has to back off of me I'm not saying I don't see depression but what I'm saying is the moment when depression starts to give me using the word that shows me that no weapon formed against me that your rod and your staff have gone ahead of me Jesus what we need in this season more than anything is to be so connected with Jesus that even when we're in over our head even when we're stressed even when we're worried even when doubt is consuming us that we are so connected to him that we can see above the frame that we can see the bigger picture from his perspective I love that she can stand with me I'm almost finished I love this because as the text continues it says that ultimately they will go from being brought before councils and scholarships and synagogues to being before kings and governors and it was assigned to me that they would be beaten and they would be bruised and then by the time they got finished just surviving that they would look up and they would be in front of Kings and nothing is more doubting on the inside of us than being surrounded by kings and governors but feeling so unqualified because of the previous beatings we just took I want to believe in in the kingship that is a science in my life I want to believe that I have the power to walk in authority and walk in the power but it doesn't seem like Jesus always remembers what it took me to get into these rooms and I feel this prophetically I don't know who you are but there's an opportunity that is waiting for you and literally the only thing you have to do is turn the knob to open the door but you were too afraid that when you get in the room you're not gonna know what to do or what to say I don't know if you're here I don't know if you're in LA but I hear God's saying that when you open the door that you not open it but opening it by yourself that when you open the door that the spirit is going ahead of you and I know that you don't have the proper tools to communicate your idea the way that everyone else does and God says that that is a good thing because I sanctified you and I set you apart you're not supposed to look like what everyone else looks so you go in there with your associate's degree you go in there with your GED you go into that marriage with your abandonment issues you go into that thing that I called you to do and you trust that even when you feel like you are in over your head that I am over your head and I've got you I just I want to have a moment of Prayer we're almost out of time if this message has been speaking to you and you know whether you're here in Denver you're watching on the livestream maybe you're in Los Angeles and you know man to be honest I have been feeling like I'm in over my head I have been feeling like I applied for a position or got into a relationship that felt like God in the in the moment but now I feel like it's stretching me and it's exposing my insecurities and I feel more broken than I did before I lay laid hold of this opportunity but something happened in this message that reminded me that the only reason I feel the way that I do is because I've been trying to do it in my own strength when in reality I just needed to remember that someone is calling the shots above me well you just lift your hands if you could just close your eyes if you're in the room bow your heads but if you know this message is for you lift your hands up I see you god bless you I see you I can see you in LA god bless you god bless you god bless you if you're here and you say I don't really do religion I'm not sure really even about Jesus but you did say something today that that just struck something down on the inside of me and I want to learn how to be more like him I want to know that God that you're talking about would you lift your hand I believe that God's gonna impart something god bless you I see you I see you spirit of the Living God we're in over our head which is the perfect place for us to be because it makes us feel weak and we recognize that when we feel weak that your strength is made perfect within us so god we're asking that you would expose every area where we feel overwhelmed in this room and that you would send your spirit to hover over us God we release our hold of our lives we release our plan on what our life needs to look like him and feel like and instead God we execute a complete and utter control that you would fill us up as only you can do that you would give us divine insight and wisdom like you gave the disciples that we would remember how to be sheep while we're surrounded by all of these wolves that you would protect our innocence and our purpose god I thank you for every gift that you have placed inside of these your sons and daughters and I ask that you would give them the strategy on how to take that gift and manifest it I ask that you would give them strategy in a wisdom that would break strongholds off with their life I rebuke insecurity I rebuke second-guessing I rebuke fearful thoughts I rebuke anything that would make them stop running their race and gotta ask that you would empower them that you would give them resurrecting powers I see dreams coming back to life I see purpose being destined again gotta ask that you would resurrect everything that tried to die on the inside of them and that you would give them renewed vision and clarity we thank you for Jesus can you repeat after me thank you for Jesus thank you for making him who had no sin all of my sin all of my weakness all of my limitations you placed in his body and nailed it to the cross and when he was raised up free and victorious I was raised up too washed by the blood of the ultimate Lamb innocence is mine creativity is mine Hope is mine purpose is mine death couldn't kill me my past didn't destroy me even when I'm in over my head I know that you're hovering over me I receive your spirit I receive your peace let it fill me up in Jesus name I pray amen amen amen amen
