"Price of Admission" - Sarah Jakes Roberts

hey family pastor T here god bless you listen you're getting ready to hear a powerful message and I wanted to also remind you about the message that is in this book it released as you know on February 6 it's already number one new release on Amazon in three different categories if you don't have this book in your life get it in your life it is changing the world one whole person at a time but God bless you for now I've got a great message that I want you to hear check it out churches and so one of the things that we've been forced to do is to make travel fun because travel can be like really exhausting and so we like to play games when we're traveling like you know like making up stories about the flight attendants know okay yeah we like to make up stories just about people it's all in good fun but you know it's like what do you think their story is and we just had these big elaborate soap opera stories like she just broke up with her boyfriend and then he came to the fight with his new girlfriend and she had to give them something to drink and no girl don't want no ice in her so she put extra ice cubes in hers and that's why the other lady had the attitude just having a good old time okay cuz you got to make things fun and so I decided as I was studying for the message that like one of our new things is I was gonna start asking him like which airline do you feel like today you know because their Airlines all have different vibes you know like American for me and my experience that you'd literally generally have like newer planes and better entertainment and you know so they just like walking in the goodness and the fullness of the Lord okay so sometimes you feel like American alright sometimes you know like maybe you feel like Delta you know like Delta Delta cool Delta's hub is it Lanta and they filmed a black panther in atlanta and what condom forever so sometimes you feel like delta sometimes I feel like I'm not going not today we're kind of forever don't try me okay virgin is fancy so sometimes you got to feel fancy you know like what is your mood today are you feeling like Virgin Airlines are you singing alright the lights dim are you fancy for no reason just bad and boozy no not bad in booze yeah I mean blessed and boozy [Music] but okay so I've decided though this is my thing so I know which airline I'm going to be like operating and functioning in every single day are you ready yes Spirit Airlines yes wow thanks for the Hang five skies okay so I know that not everyone feels Spirit Airlines but hear me out I'm about to change your mind I got 40 minutes to do it okay so here's the thing I know they charge you for everything but first of all it's called Spirit Airlines and hello the Holy Spirit dude okay so that's one reason I'm going to be functioning in the Spirit Airlines thing and then secondly like Spirit Airlines they're they're not trying to be like cheap but in order for them to have their prices be price so low they have to be willing to cut back in other areas and depending on what you're willing to invest it will change your experience so if you get on Spirit Airlines and you don't mind paying for a drink you don't mind paying for that extra investment then for you the flight might not be so bad and that's why I feel like I am probably more of a Spirit Airlines kind of girl because depending on what you invest in me it will determine your experience of me see boom y'all really made me work hard for that when I think spirit must have done something y'all need to release that okay need to let that go yeah depending on what you invest it will determine your experience of me so when you get a drink on Spirit Airlines and they charge you you don't get charged you don't pay them with another drink it's not like an equal giving and equal investment but what you do is that you give them something that covers the cost of what they lost in order to give you the drink and that's how I feel even in my relationships that if I give you advice if I invest advice into you that what I would like to see in return is for you to give me a return on my investment that covers what I lost like actually taking my advice and applying it which you all obviously don't have the types of relationships that I have because sometimes I realize that when I'm giving advice that I'm like in the third or fourth conversation before I realized that you didn't really want advice you wanted to vent and if you would have told me that I would have been better prepared because now I'm acting like a Yamla trying to help you if I'm more invested in it then you are trying to help you figure your life out and all you had to tell me was that you just wanted to vent child I could have put you on mute and went back to watching scandal while you then see I mean reading the Bible while you was Vincent because when I invest I am expecting that you're going to give me something in return that covers the cost of what I lost when you get your paycheck it is a loss to the company but what you give in return covers the cost of what they lost everything requires this reciprocity this giving and receiving in everything including purpose purpose is a lot like Spirit Airlines if you think about it because you have the destination in mind when you receive your purpose when you finally figure out what your purpose is when you finally decide that I'm not random I'm here for a reason I God breathe air into my long so that I could do something that changes the world and I'm gonna be a world changer that's the ultimate goal some kind of way I'm gonna be a world changer I don't know how I'm going to do it maybe my marriage is gonna raise a child that ultimately changes the world maybe I'm going to teach a lesson that changes the world I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I know that God has put me here for a reason and you wake up and you have joy and you have excitement the only thing is that no one tells you that purpose has hidden fees that in the pursuit of purpose there are all of these different cost cause that you think you have cost that you aren't sure that you have costs you don't think you'll ever be able to come up with there are all of these hidden fees attached to purpose and every now and then we have to wonder if we have what it takes to handle the price of admission and for those of you who are taking notes that's my subject for today my subject is the price of admission and the price of admission with purpose is not just a one-time flat-rate purpose demands over and over again that you become someone worthy of the higher calling that God has placed on the inside of you if you were prepared right now for the full weight of your purpose then God could take you to heaven but we're on this thing called Earth so that we can continue to learn grow and develop in the evolution of our purpose I know what the end goal is but I'm not the person who's at the end goal so who do I have to become right now so that I can move to the next step and get closer to who God has called me to be and what He has called me to do on the earth and unfortunately that generally comes through trial and error it comes through tests and tribulations it comes through struggle and when we find Jesus in the text that I'm going to use for today we're going to recognize that even Jesus was paying the price of admission when we find Jesus in this text he's just been baptized by john demamp 2 by John the Baptist and he is full of the holy spirit and he is so full of the holy sprit and I know how I feel when I get full of the holy spirit when I get full of that energy with that giant slaying energy I'm so full of it until the giant is actually in front of me and then I'm just tired you know I was telling them at the 11 o'clock service like I always feel like working out at like 6 p.m. when I can go when I have to help the children with the homework like but that's when I feel like you know it would be nice to go on the jaw but I never feel like working out at 6:00 a.m. and I feel like that is the same thing that happens when we get full of the Holy Spirit when we get full of the Holy Spirit we start setting our desires on something and then we recognize that the cost is more than we anticipated when we find Jesus in the text he's in the wilderness and I knew that instantly there was a connection between Jesus being in the wilderness and the Israelites being in the wilderness that needed dissection Jesus is in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights the Israelites were in the wilderness for 40 years and I knew that a part of Jesus is called a part of him being the manifestation of the messiaen fulfilling the prophecy means that he had to go back and conquer what once held his generate the generations behind him back everybody is excited about being the one that's going to break the generational curses and I think in our ignorance and in our fallacy we believe that we're going to break the generational curse by never experiencing the curse itself but sometimes your ability to break the curse isn't that you don't experiences is that you break out of it faster than they broke out of it before you so it is no it is no coincidence that Jesus spends 40 days and 40 nights he did in 40 days what it took those behind him 40 years to accomplish I wonder how long it's going to take you I wonder how much faster you're going to do it then your mother was able to do it how much I wonder how much quicker it's going to take you to do it then it took your father to do it to break the addiction to get your head on to discover your purpose to have a foundation for your life see and the only way that you can break that thing is if you live in it first because you can't fully size up the generational curse that you have to break until you feel the weight of it on your own shoulders so while some people have given up on the fact that they're going to break the generational curse because they're in the wilderness I believe that God wanted you to receive this message so that you could know you are in the wilderness because you are still the one that will break the generational curse don't let the fact that you were placed in this environment make you believe that you lost your shot at being the one if you're still in this room if you still have breath in your lungs and you still have the potential to break that thing off of your family don't let it temporary failure become a permanent setback I hear God saying that you still have the power to break that thing and you're gonna break it quicker and faster than those who came before you even though Jesus was only there for 40 days and 40 nights I really think that he had a harder battle than the Israelites did and they were there for 40 years that's why you can't resent the fact that you had a short struggle and someone else struggled longer than you because sometimes your short struggle is more intense than the long struggle than the people had before Jesus went head-to-head with the enemy I feel like that's why some of you are in the wilderness because you are the one who God has chosen to go head-to-head with the enemy I gave you a vision I gave you a purpose I placed a gift down on the inside of you and then I put you in the wilderness so that you could go head-to-head with the enemy and defeat anything that was standing in the way of that vision purpose being manifested in your life I placed you in the wilderness so that other people could watch you fight man that didn't happen at any of the other services but I feel like someone needs to know that you going head to what the enemy is not a sign of your worth it's not a sign of whether or not you're gonna make it it is actually God showing you that when you get finished with this devil no one else is gonna have to fight it again when you defeat this wilderness you secure the promised land for everyone else someone needs to know that that you were going to secure the bag that when you defeat this wilderness no one else is gonna have to fight it again I've got you going head-to-head with the enemy it's harder for you than it was for anyone else and it's gonna be faster for you than it was for anyone else because I've been pouring word on the inside of you I've been pouring worship down on the inside of you you've got more tools to fight what then you realize the fact that he chose you to go head-to-head with the enemy is a sign of what's down on the inside of you there's some spiritual warriors in this room you don't even realize who you are yet the fact that you know how to take a lickin and keep on tickin the fact that you didn't go running out of the wilderness but you set there flat-footed and said give me your best shot I don't back down easy I've lost before and I had to get back up I know a thing or two about surviving do I have any survivors in this building who have seen a cup of wildernesses but the wilderness has not made them believe that they're not going to make it to the other side do I have or just one or two more survivors in this room who tried to live in the wilderness and the wilderness had to back up both of them because they realized that I'm a survivor I was created to win I'll make a house in the middle of the wilderness I'll turn this wilderness into a city that's how creative I am that's how much authenticity I have Jesus is standing in the wilderness but Jesus also has the power to erect something in the wilderness that's why I don't get afraid when life isn't going my way because I recognize that this wilderness could become the next monument for God's glory and I need the wilderness the wilderness teaches me things about myself the wilderness shows me where my weakness is the wilderness shows me where my insecurities are the wilderness shows me how I can sabotage my own destiny if I might focus I needed the wilderness the wilderness made me desperate for God the wilderness made me drag myself in here a one o'clock on a Sunday to try and get a word from God in my relationship with him as stronger as a result of the wilderness I didn't have any distractions in the wilderness it was just me and him and my brokenness and my fears and my dreams and the war that takes place on the inside of everyone who's called but doesn't know their next steps and so the wilderness is this environment where you feel lonely but you know you're exactly where you're supposed to be the wilderness is the environment where you feel afraid but you know you're exactly where you're supposed to be I've learned how to live in the wilderness and nothing is more scary for the enemy than someone who knows how to live in the wilderness the person who knows how to worship in the wilderness what that sound like a message within itself worship in the wilderness that I could turn this wilderness into a temple that I could get alone with Jesus and I could take this place where I feel dry and that he could give me life that I could hit a well of living water the wilderness doesn't scare me what scares me is not being able to access God so Jesus has led up by the spirit into the wilderness this spirit leads him into the wilderness and when the spirit leads you somewhere there's an insurance that comes with that if the flesh would have led me somewhere I could be afraid but even when the flesh leaves me somewhere the spirit can still meet me but when you know you have an encounter with the spirit and the spirit is leading you somewhere there's a certain insurance you have and so Jesus was led up by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil and verse 2 continues it says and when he had fasted forty days and forty nights afterwards he was hungry in verse three says now when the temple came now when the tempter came to him he said if you are the son of God command that these Stones become bread so just to break it down for a second Jesus has been in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights his fast is over and he is hungry and the enemy suggests to Jesus that the way for him to end his hunger is to take a stone and turn it into bread I have to be honest when I really wrapped my mind around it I thought how was that temptation I mean Jesus obviously has the power to take the stone and turn it into bread and it wasn't like he was breaking his fast so so where is the temptation here and I realized that the underlying temptation was ultimately that Satan wanted Jesus to abuse his power I wanted him the enemy wanted him to use his power to go after something that was self gratifying and not self served in that world serving turning a stone into bread would have helped Jesus in the moment but it would not have helped him long-term and I know none of you feel like you have the power maybe to turn a stone into bread but what I'm telling you that some of the experiences that we've had in life that some of us ended up regretting is in the exact result of us turning a stone into bread that when we stayed in their relationship that we knew wasn't good for us but we decided that we were going to use our power to change our mind and try to change someone that we took that and tried to turn it into bread that when we stayed in certain jobs and in certain fields and tried to say that this is my purpose and I'm totally continued when we really knew down on the inside that there was still something that God had placed down on the inside of us that we tried to take a stone and turn it into bread it's so easy to judge from where we're sitting but when you realize that all of us in some capacity have been guilty of trying to turn the stone into bread then I realized that our first cost of admission is that we have to be willing to go hungry and in order to go hungry we have to be willing to have an inner determination about who we are and what we're called to do so Jesus is hungry and as fast is over but when he ultimately says to the enemy is that I would rather be hungry than abused my power on something that God hasn't called me to do because if I use my power on this level I may not be able to use it on the next level so what I'm saying is I have become strategic about how I use my power what is your power your power is your energy it is your time it is your ideas it is your creativity what are you using your power on are you trying to manipulate someone else's outcome are you submitting that power to God Jesus submits his power to God so what he says is this is ultimately not my power to use for what I want and said it is his power for him to show me who I am supposed to be on the earth and when you submit your power to God it multiplies when you submit your gifts and your talents I I have power with words I have power with creativity I have power with my gifts I could do anything that I set my mind to but I recognize that my mind is not always healthy and my mind doesn't always want me to do the things that God wants me to do so what I do instead is I submit my power to God and I say God how do you want me to use this gift how do you want me to use the power of influence that I have in people's lives how do you want me to use the power of connection that I have with people when I become serious about the price of admission to purpose I submit my power and that takes inner determination because there will be moments when you're hungry but you have to decide not to use your power to pick up the phone and call that stone that you could turn into bread there will be moments when you're hungry and you need validation and you need to feel better about yourself and you have to be strong enough to not go on to social media and post that picture of yourself that you know is gonna get a lot of likes because you're not in the turning stone into bread into picking a fight with someone so that they can say how much you love you I'm not going to use my power to manipulate someone else I'm willing to go hungry before I abuse what God has given me that's a powerful mindset that not many of us are willing to possess but what I'm saying is that if you are able to harness this that God can really take your power and multiply it in a way that you couldn't do on your own are you willing to go hungry do you have enough inner determination to keep the main thing the main thing and not be distracted by the noise and the distractions that try to sidelined you and ultimately dilute your power and so verse 4 continues and Jesus says to the enemy it is written man shall not live by bread alone if all I was worried about was bread I would turn the stone into bread but because I'm worried about more than this instant gratification because I'm worried about more than this temporary satisfaction what I do instead is I allow myself to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God that means if God doesn't tell me to do it it will not be done if God doesn't tell me to move in that direction it won't be there that's the kind of inner determination that I'll wake up each morning and I pray for God give me the power to only live by your word alone not by the words of culture not by the words of this generation not by the words of social media that tells me I have to show something in order to be something instead God give me the power God even if it means I have to be hungry if I can still connect with you then I know that that hunger won't last for a long time what am I'm saying of course I wish I had friends of course I wish I could go to brunch but I rather be hungry than the settle for friends that want me to drink and be high and out of my mind of course I wish I was in the relationship but I would rather be hungry than to be with someone who doesn't understand my words and my value of course I'm hungry but I got an inner determination that allows me to see that what I'm shooting for is more important than turning a stone into bread I don't mind being hungry for a minute as long as I still got you because if I have you I know you'll lead me to the right kind of food I know you'll lead me to the right kinds of things that can sustain me I don't want to turn a stone into bread I did that before and it ruined my life but she gave me another chance and because you gave me another chance God I'm asking you to show me how to use this power you've given me love is powerful show me where to give this love where I can receive it in return and where it won't be abused show me where to give these ideas where it won't be stolen and taken in my name taking off of it God show me how to use this power you've given me I take seriously who you have called me to be and because I take it seriously I don't cast my pearls among swine God I don't mind being hungry I don't mind passing up the easy fix if I have to work harder for it I will I'm determined I'm determined to take this thing that you gave me in to allow it to multiply my generations are depending on it my mother needs me to do this my daughter needs me to win if I don't do it I don't know if my son will ever see somebody make it to the other side if I don't do it I don't know if my brother will ever witnesses I need an inner determination that helps me push back the distractions that helps me push back all of the stones being thrown my way the price of admission comes from the inside first who are you going to be on the inside Jesus is the kind of person that I'm going to be on the inside is the person who only lives I only live off of every word that proceeds from the mouth of that means I'm sitting up waiting for God to say something else that's how I live my life I don't want you to give me one word that I apply to the rest of my life I want to be sitting on the Bandit breath waiting with bated breath for you to say something else because if you say it to me from there I proceed when God tells me something I proceed from that point I know other people wait until other people like it I know God said it but if other people don't like it I don't do it no that's not who I am I'm the kind of person who hits go the moment that God says go and so Jesus says I can't turn this stone into bread so the enemy that goes on in verse five once he has utterly failed at that and so the devil took him up into the holy city and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple and he says to him if you are the son of God throw yourself down for it is written he shall give his angels charge over you and in their hands they shall bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone and verse seven says Jesus said to him it is written again you shall not tempt the Lord your God so the enemy uses a song and he uses that Psalm to explain to Jesus that he should throw himself down and to see if God will catch him like his word promised and I realized that the enemy wasn't really concerned about whether he could throw him down his major concern was whether or not he could confuse the in tension between being thrown down and being stumped and stumbling if you go back to verse 6 for me when David writes this Psalm when he received his revelation from God it says he shall give his angels charge over you in their hands they shall bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone what David is talking about is a stumble but the enemy is talking about is throwing yourself down there's two different intentions but it looks like the same result and because there are two different intentions if you are not careful you will call your stumble you throwing yourself down because from the ground they both look the same but when you recognize that from the starting that I never meant to fall down I just ended up on the ground then you realize that you were who David was talking about when he was talking about God up lifting your right foot this has been the hardest part for me in all three services because I really believe that this is a revelation that we have to understand in order to release ourselves from the shame and regret of stumbling because after you stumble you look back on this stumble and you say to yourself how did I not see the rock how did I miss the signs how did I end up in this situation all of the signs were there and yet I still ended up on the ground there must have been something wrong with me I must have thrown myself down and I hear God saying that the difference between stumbling and throwing down is they intention when you start when you throw yourself down you set out to fail and you succeed at it but when you stumble you start off with good intentions and then good intentions turn bad and that's where His grace is sufficient and so I need someone to know at this 1 o'clock service who is looking at their life from the ground up that God is looking up at you saying that if you would just recognize that you're not on the rock bottom that you were actually right in the palm of my hand because I never meant for you to stumble I meant for you to recognize that I was carrying you all along the way and because I've been carrying you all along the way you can get back up baby and when I tell you that lives depend on it that destinies depend on it then maybe you'll take it a little bit seriously stop charging yourself with the crime that the old you did that's what our pastor says all the time start charging yourself with a crime that the old you did when you found out better you did better I stumbled but I didn't throw myself down I messed up it hurt I was wounded but I didn't throw myself down and now I've gotten freedom about this addiction and now I have a freedom about this alcohol issue and now I have a freedom about this pregnancy and a freedom about this divorce because my intention was different but the enemy been after my intention he's been trying to make me believe that I did it on purpose when I didn't but something happened when I received a word from God that he knew my heart from the beginning and that I'm still pure in his eyes that I still have purpose down on the inside I'm gonna move on because I got one more point but I just need someone to let me know that they understand deep down in their spirit that God knew you're in from your beginning that he recognized when you stumble that you had the power to get back up that you did not throw yourself down you did not bring this pain onto yourself you did not bring this harm onto yourself you did not bring this heartbreak on to yourself you stumbled and now it's time to get back up I wish somebody would serve notice on Hale that you almost had me for one minute you almost made me believe that I missed my shot you almost made me believe that I would never be nothing you almost had me but then I realize that I didn't throw myself down I just stumbled and because I know that I stopped but I'm getting back up I'm gonna find my joy again I'm gonna find my purpose again I'm gonna look towards the future with hope again because I recognize that he who the Sun has set free is free indeed I'm walking in my freedom I'm walking in my righteousness I'm walking in my power I'm walking in who God has called me to be I will not be bound by what I did any longer I stumbled but I didn't throw myself down I stumbled but I won't be down forever I stumbled but I'm learning how to walk again and I see clearly now the difference between stumbling and throwing myself down and so Jesus is in the wilderness and he says to the enemy I will not throw myself down because I know that one day Sarah Jake's robbers is going to need to know the difference between intention and I need her to know that there is a difference between throwing yourself down and and ended up stumbling I need her to recognize that she is not playing with grace but instead that grace had already gone ahead of her I need someone to understand man I wish I could say it the way I feel it in my spirit but I feel like God is about to do something crazy in this one o'clock service I feel like somebody's chains are about to be broken I feel like somebody's about to get their mind back I feel like somebody's gonna start loving themselves again I feel like somebody's about to get filled with the Holy Ghost over flow in this place and he overcame everything that you have been battling with mentally but he sat in the wilderness the career of everything that's confusing you I've been like Jesus needed you to know that I won this thing on your behalf that you gotta stop penalizing yourself and you got to learn to love the person who stumbled the same way you love the person who receives the applause they're both a necessary part of your journey and so the next price of admission is an outer demonstration of your inner determination Jesus was so determined to overcome the enemy that even when the enemy tried to mess up his mind and make him do something on the outside that was different than what he felt on the inside he pushed hell back somebody's been being tested oh I thought the presence of God in this place and the only thing that you have been afraid to do is to unleash the power of God that you know is down on the inside of you you've been afraid to fully own your identity you've been afraid to fully own what God can do on the inside of you and I came here to tell you that if you want to see the enemy get pushed back if you want to see depression get pushed back if you want to see addiction get pushed back that you need to unleash from the inside what God has been doing I've been pouring into you word after word you've been receiving worship after worship you live your hands and you asked me for something I gave it to you the only thing I'm waiting on you to do is to unleash that thing on the enemy to start working in that outer demonstration of who you know you are on the inside it's in you it's in you it's in you it's in you and the only thing you need to do is to not be afraid and to not let your past mistakes make you believe that you can't walk in the fullness of who God has called you to be to not allow other people's opinion to make you believe that you can't walk in the fullness of who God has called you to be yes I'm set free yes I am delivered I know it may be a little bit different from how you don't me in the past but God did something in my life that sent me on fire and now whenever you have an encounter with me you're actually having an encounter with him I didn't come here to be your friend I came here to change your life I came here to stir up something down on the inside of you that would make hell back up off of you I came to stir up something on the inside that was in generational curses broken forever I feel like I've left some world changes in this room I feel like I got some hail shakers in this room I feel like I displace the right person in this [Music] let go of me do it no I threw me away the away is my life Oh God but it's time to get back up get back up time to wipe your face I [Music] need an outer I need an outer demonstration I need an outer demonstration I've had all of this going on on the inside of me but now I need an outer demonstration I need to start walking by faith the book I need to start the business I learned to pay a price to walk in crazy I learned to pay the price to laugh without limits [Music] [Applause] somebody just got their walking shoes if you're visiting for the first time and you don't know what's happening I'll explain it for you somebody just got their walking shoes somebody just realize that the stumble didn't take them out somebody just realized that there's still life after the stumble that there's still life after the pain the only thing that they need to do is be willing to pay the price so God Here I am heal my heart bring up every issue so that I know who you are [Music] [Music] [Music] if you know that you have received everything you need on the inside the only thing you have failed to do is to activate what you've received on the inside into an outer demonstration I want you to meet me at this altar I got what I need on the inside I just don't know how to introduce my inside to my outside I know what I'm supposed to do I just don't know how to introduce the inside to the outside I know I'm supposed to forgive but whenever I see their face I don't know how to take the inside and move it to the outside god I need the power to take this inside breakthrough and translate it to my outside I have the idea but I can't write the book I have the idea but I can't break open the laptop God give me the power to break through my own spears and my own insecurities I need an outer demonstration I need to learn how to pay the price I need to learn how to go hungry I'm afraid that if I live on the outside what I feel on the inside that I lose friends so god I need you to change my appetite I need you to help me realize that going hungry isn't the worst thing in the world that if it brings me closer to you then that's all that matters I need an outer and outer demonstration God give me the power give me the power to actually live what I feel to live a life that honors you from the inside out maybe you're here and as I was speaking you said I I don't really know about religion I don't know about Jesus I think there could be many ways or multiple ways but for some reason while you were speaking I felt like Jesus was something for me I felt like I could connect with him in a way that I never thought that I could connect with him before I want to invite - - we don't have it all figured out we don't understand all of the politics of church and religion but what I know that I know that I know that I know is that I've been touched by a savior who gave me a second chance I know that I know that I know that I know that had it not been for the grace of God and Jesus going ahead of me that I would have been lost and confused how could it wretch become a treasure that's what I live out each and every single day because I had an encounter with Jesus I have another point you have to watch the other services if you're interested but I felt like God wants to do something in this place so if you're at this altar would you just lift your hands with me as a sign of surrender I'm surrendering to everything that has held me back I am surrendering to you God every thought every fear that has kept me from walking out who you have called me to be at this altar the place where we bring for something and that you give us power in exchange that I'm asking for every fear that you would give them faith that for every pain that you would give them power god I'm asking that the world changes that exists in this room would arise I speak to the god that's down on the inside of them and I decree and declare by the names of Jesus by the name that is above every name by the name that makes demons tremble that they will no longer be held back any longer Satan I refute you every word you've ever said is a lie every thought you ever planted was aligned at the credence and clear that they are free at this altar suicidal excess alter their lives to be monuments for your glory a beautiful exchange where you take in my pain and you give me purpose were you taking my fear and give me faith will you give me the strength to do this thing by myself if I have to when you give me the ideas to raise the money if I have to when you give me the ideas to start the business without a lawyer if I have to God you can give me divine wisdom that I can't get from any school so I open myself up to you and I say have your way in my life o precious Savior remove anything that is keeping me from laying hold of the destiny that you have for me I receive my inheritance as your child and God I'm asking that this would become their new normal and that they would never go back to the person who questioned their gifts again or who questioned your word again may they begin to live off of every word that proceeds out of your mouth it may that be the awakening that opens up door after door after door after door in Jesus name repeat after me Heavenly Father thank you for Jesus thank you for making him who knew no sin all of my sin all of my weakness every wilderness every fear every insecurity you placed in his body and when you nailed it to the cross and raised him up free and victorious I was raised up to with no pain with no shame with no fear with no anxiety with no depression and only power awaken your power down on the inside of me awaken your gifts down on the inside of me and give me the knowledge to unleash them on everything surrounding me in Jesus name [Music] hey my friend I pray that that message blessed your life it blessed me for sure I want to also encourage you to pick up wholeness winning in life from the inside out this book is going to change your life god bless you I'll see you next time
