Rise, Slay, Eat - Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts

[Music] can we just take a minute and lift up the name of god in this place can we just take five seconds to worship to set an atmosphere for what god wants to do in this place to invite god's presence in the area where we need it the most you know while they were singing about watching them praise god told me that their neighbors aren't the only one watching that depression was watching somebody praise that a custody battle was watching somebody praise the torment was watching somebody praise and that the enemy was watching wondering how could you be praising after all that you have gone through and i heard a voice from heaven saying that that has been the only weapon that you've had and that is the only weapon that you need and i want to remind somebody that hell is watching you praise that hell is watching you worship and i know it comes at a sacrifice but i hear god saying if you would just lift up your hands anyway if you would just release a sound anyway if you would just release a praise anyway it's not about whether or not you know how it's gonna end is that you trust that i'm inviting god into the process and when i invite god into the process i invite victory into the process i invite strength into the process i'm calling on heaven's resources when i lift up my hands i'm calling on angels to back me up when i lift up my hands i'm saying god i can't do it on my own but if you would lift me up somewhere lift me up above the depression lift me up above the anguish lift me up above the grief i got got too many things watching me and my answer is only in you man i don't know who's in this room but i've been up since four o'clock this morning trying to figure out what god was trying to say and i felt like god told me that there are some people in this room who are at the tipping point of destiny the tipping point of your identity and that you have been being tormented by fear by inadequacy but it ends today i feel the spirit of god in this place that god's going to give us strategy for how to walk out of this place and into the expectation that he has on who we can become i'm going to get into my message in a minute but i want somebody with vision to hear me somebody's got a vision that is bigger than anything they've ever seen before i've got a vision bigger than i've ever seen played out before and i hear god saying that when you leave this place that you are going to be equipped with the spirit of god that will lead you and direct you and propel you and teach you and guide you and mentor you and parent you and lead you and teach you how to step into this next dimension of who god is calling you to be [Music] holy spirit have your way holy spirit [Music] have your way acts 10 verse 9 through 19 9-19 this point in the text peter peter's our main character here and peter is going about doing the work that god told him to do in acts 1 he's fulfilling the great commission and in the process of fulfilling the great commission god sends a vision to him a vision that almost looks like it is in contradiction with what he's supposed to be doing because he's trying to give him insight into what god wants to happen in the earth now sometimes we're so busy fulfilling the path that god has laid out that we miss when god has added expansion to what we were doing i wish i could i've been trying to figure this out for the last seven days god is bringing peter into a place of expansion and the expansion looks like it's detraction but he doesn't understand that it's not detraction that it's not random that it's not slowing his momentum but instead it is actually adding increase to what he is already doing acts 10 and 9 says the next day as they went on their journey and drew near the city peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour then he became very hungry and wanted to eat but while they made ready he fell into a trance and saw heaven open and an object like a great sheep bound at the four corners descending to him and let down to the earth in it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth and wild beasts creeping things and birds of the air and the voice came to him rise peter kill and eat but peter said not so lord for i have never eaten anything common or unclean i can't do what you're asking me to do i've never done it before it would break the rules of my culture to do it it would go up against everything i know in order to do that very thing that god has called me to do but god is calling him to do it anyway and a voice spoke to him again the second time what god has cleansed you must not call common this was done three times and the object was taken up into heaven now while peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant behold the men who had been sent from cornelius had made inquiry for simon's house and stood before the gate and they called and asked whether simon whose surname was peter was lodging there while peter thought about the vision the spirit said to him behold three men are seeking you arise therefore go down and go with them doubting nothing for i have sent them spirit of the living god these are your people i am your servant god i pray that you would flow with no obstacle that you would flow with clarity that you would flow with wisdom and precision and that it would meet the heart of every person who has been called to rise up in this room i hear a voice from heaven saying that you are the answer you are the solution and so god i ask that you would position us to receive and then poor that you would position us to receive until the overflow until it changes everything connected to us bless this word as only you can do and may it produce fruit and may that fruit be be multiplied in jesus name amen amen you can see that hallelujah the interesting thing to me about this text are the many different people who are connected to this one catalyst moment in modern church in ancient church history it would have been modern church history then but this was the first stages of the church and when peter is first positioned to be the rock in which jesus is going to build his church on he initially thinks that he is only called to the lost sheep of israel he's only called to those who are of jewish heritage that means that his distinction his focus and what he is doing in the earth has one specific group this moment in the text though is when god takes that vision that initial focus and begins to expand it to make room for the next dimension of what god wants to do god doesn't give us the full detail on the plan that he has for our lives god only gives us hints he only gives us clues sometimes god only gives us enough to get it started because if he gave us the full details we would say no and never get moving but sometimes he says i'm just going to give you enough to get you in position so that you're too far ahead of where you used to be to go back and you can't stay stuck there because he's created an appetite for transformation you see there are some people in this room who are in this room because they have an appetite for transformation i got a taste of what god could do i got a taste of what can happen when i let god use me i got a taste of what could happen when i surrendered myself and so now i can't go back now i'm hanging on every word that proceeds out of his mouth because every word that proceeds out of his mouth is my instruction for what i need to do next peter peter's further out than he ever thought he would be and for him that is promotion for him that is growth oh god there's somebody in this room and you're already further out than any member of your family has ever been and for someone you should be satisfied with where you are but god keeps giving you vision that there's something else left there's something more connected to who you are i know everyone else would be satisfied if they made it this far but i'm crazy enough to believe that god left me in this world because there is yet more for me to do and i would give up but i keep giving vision every time i close my eyes i have another vision of who i can become every time god allows me to be connected to somebody i don't just apply for them i see it as a vision of what god can do in my life you see i shout when other people get blessed because it's a sign to me that god is still in the blessing business i didn't have vision until i saw you walk through that door but now that i've seen you walk through the door i know that is possible you better be careful when you're connected to someone who has vision when you're connected to someone who has vision they start thinking crazy things and you start saying how did you see that oh i saw it in my sleep i saw it when i went into prayer i saw it not because i saw it on television i didn't see it on social media god deposited something in my spirit that made me crazy enough to believe that the vision was meant to become a reality i don't know who you are but i want you to know you're not crazy i want you to know that you're seeing things but you're not crazy i want you to know that you're seeing things but you're not alone that there are some other people in this room who are seeing things if god's showing you something i want you to make some noise if he's showing you something that doesn't make any sense god you're showing me something that doesn't make any sense it challenges everything i've ever known it makes me believe that i could be going crazy but god every time i close my eyes i still see it what is it that you want to do with this vision what am i that i should have access [Music] to what you want to see happen oh god you think it's just a vision i hear god saying it's access when i gave you vision i gave you access i gave you access to what cannot be seen in this time but what is coming in time you can't see it right here but if i gave you a vision it's because it's to be manifested vision vision god vision [Music] when peter receives this vision he's in a posture of prayer he doesn't just receive this vision while he's out being random there is a posture that we must assume if we want to tap into god's vision some people use prayer as their opportunity to let god know his job roles and responsibilities other people and sometimes they the same people depending on the season use prayer as an opportunity to ask god for his insight if our prayer is just where we go to let god know what we need then we miss the opportunity to really be in connection to see what god needs from us we miss the opportunity to be in connection to receive the insight for what this season is because sometimes we're just praying because we want relief from what's happening but it takes something powerful to say god you don't have to relieve me from what's happening if you will give me insight into how to show up into what's happening see i must be the only one raising children in this season i must be the only one trying to break down some chains and some barriers and some strongholds i must be the only one in this room up against some opposition that is making me want to quit but when i go into my prayer closet instead of asking god to back that battle up off of me i've been learning that my greatest weapon is to say god help me to understand what the battle is trying to bring out of me help me to understand who i need to be to show up in this marriage help me to see who i need to be in order to write this book in order to build this business in order to break this generational curse god give me insight into why you chose me give me insight into why you keep opening these doors god give me insight insight god i want to see it the way you see it i don't want to be so caught up in my hindsight that i can't get inside i don't want to be so caught up on foresight that i can't get inside the only thing that matters is now i know you worried about yesterday but yesterday is over i know you're worried about tomorrow but tomorrow is not promised the only thing that matters is right now so god who do i need to be in this moment who do i need to be right now i didn't get a chance to be her yesterday but glad you woke me up this morning god what is it that you see about me that i don't see about myself god why would you allow me to be up against this giant unless this giant has my name on it show me where my stones are show me where my slingshot is show me where the power is show me where the peace is in the middle of the storm show me where the joy is in the middle of this grief god if you put me in it you've got insight into how i can show up help me see it god help me believe it god help me to rise up to it help me to step into it god give me insight insight insight in in insight god what's in me god what's in me for what's happening outside of me what's in me for what you want to do through me god what gifts what talents what words what memories what experience will release your glory you know why you need insight because insight is the clue that releases glory you know why you need glory because the only way that we're going to go up against what's happening in this world is if we get a few crazy people who are willing to release glory no i don't look like a glory carrier after all that i've been through but if i'm still in this earth god says there's glory connected to your name so god show me where the glory is show me where you're moving show me how you're speaking in this season show me show me show me [Music] and god shows peter something that not even peter understands [Music] i don't even understand why god would show me something that requires me to venture into forbidden territory forbidden territory as a jewish man peter had certain stipulations on how he eats food on how animals are treated and yet god gives him this vision that goes up against the identity that he has held on to god wants to know will you be more loyal to the identity you've known than the destiny he's calling you to that's [Applause] i've only known i've only known myself one way i've only seen myself one way but god you're showing me something that will require me to abandon what i have held as my identity i don't know who's in this room but i hear god saying that if you would let yourself go you could receive what god really has for you if you would let yourself go you could receive what god has already always known about who you are and peter is going to have to be willing to let himself go god is calling peter into forbidden territory you know what i love about this is that because the way that it is presented to peter it shows us how god allows us to not just receive insight but to understand his timing because in this text at the same time that peter is receiving a revelation that will require him to move into forbidden territory there's also a need being rise risen up for peter to meet god i gotta i gotta get this thing right because if i mess around and get this thing right there are gonna be some people in this room who start moving into forbidden territory i mean the kind of territory that the enemy said your feet could never be on the kind of territory where you say people in my family say we don't do things like that but god has given someone permission to move into some forbidden territory i'm giving you permission to move in the industry in a different way i'm giving you permission to change the way things have always been done i'm giving you permission to raise up a new standard i don't know who you are but i hear god saying there are some change agents in this room and god has given you permission to go into some forbidden territory i mean forbidden territory within your own heart where god says i don't want you to talk about what you do and do not do any any longer i want you to start laying hold of the liberty and the freedom that says that when i grace you and i anoint you there is nothing forbidden i want to rebuke every trick and lie of the enemy that has made you believe that there is a limit to who you can become i hear god saying there is no limit i hear god saying all you need is a word and you can ride into forbidden territory with a word a word is all that you need in order to kick down every stronghold in order to break every chain there is some forbidden territory that's had your family chained up for years there is some forbidden territory that has kept your family from experiencing breakthrough there is some forbidden territory that has changed the way you show up in the world and i hear god saying that if you dare to take you one step into that forbidden territory you're going to do it with me backing you up that if you take one step away from the identity that everyone else has known that you will break up the culture of the industry you will break up the culture of your family i don't know about you but i am not here to keep status quo i am here to go into some forbidden territory we are having a meeting of soldiers because when you leave this place you got some forbidden territory to take hold of you've got some forbidden territory to reclaim for the kingdom of god i won't give up i won't back down if i've got a vision for it it's because i'm anointed for it and if i'm anointed for it there is no devil in hell that can come up against what god has placed in my spirit i just need about one or two of you to start acting like you know what this is that you know that god is backing you up and there are communities depending on your yes that your family is depending on your breakthrough and your yes means that you gotta break out of your forbidden territories break out of the way that you think break out of the way that you speak i know i haven't been speaking like that but i'm speaking differently because there's a language connected to the territory i know i haven't been moving like that but i'm moving differently because there's a different way that they move in forbidden territory i wouldn't expect the unexpected unless i serve a god who does the unexpected so if you tell me it's forbidden but god tells me to walk through it i'm going to take all of my raggedy all of my inadequacy all of my fear and i'm going to step into it anyway i'm gonna move into it anyway [Applause] [Music] i'm not ready but i'm going i don't have what i need but i'm going god tells peter rise peter kill and eat rise peter kill and eat he's never had to do this before but god gives him permission to rise up because it's time to kill and it's time to eat i don't know if you know this or not but the kingdom is in a battle right now and the kingdom is in need of some soldiers who do not mind getting their hands dirty i'll go into the places that the church folks won't go i'll talk to the people that the church folks gave up on because i've been called to rise kill and eat rise kill and eat how am i gonna do it i'm gonna rise up i'm gonna kill every devil i'ma kill every thought i'ma cast down every imagination i'm gonna break every chain and then i'm gonna sit down and i'm gonna feast off of what god did in my life i'm gonna feast off the transformation i'm gonna i'm gonna get my hands dirty but i'ma get it done i'm gonna go into some forbidden territory but i'm gonna get it done this isn't a message for someone who wants to stay cute and accepted this is a message for people who don't mind being talked about i don't mind you not understanding who i am i don't mind you not getting it fully i gotta get my hands dirty i'm on a time clock baby you may have time but i don't you may have money but i don't i gotta get it done when god says move [Music] [Applause] rise kill eat rise kill eat rise kill eat rise kill eat rise kill eat build the family write the book save the marriage rise kill eat rise kill eat [Music] [Applause] rice the vision is going to require you to rise up i gotta rise to the expectation the vision is an expectation but there's a space between who i am and the expectation how do i lay hold of the expectation unless i'm willing to rise up rise hardest thing we can do is rise up again god just deflate it god i already stretched too far i've already risen beyond i'm tired of rising god gee you don't understand peter has already risen up killed and if in order for him to be in the position that he's in he had to overcome his own doubt he had to overcome his own betrayals he had to overcome his own mess-ups and mistakes and yet he already rose up but jesus still says i still got more rising for you to do i still got more killing for you to do i don't know who you are but somebody's in the latter years of your life and you think that your killing days are over and i want you to understand that if you are alive still that there is still something that you are called to kill i hear god saying you think that time is running out because of your age know that time on grace is not running out for you i need you to understand that your faith is running out not your time but if you would decide to rise up like you've got abundant faith if you would dare to rise up like there's an overflow of god's anointing down on the inside of you that you would stop looking at the clock and start looking for the prey [Applause] pray rise peter kill and eden peter doesn't get a chance to even fully understand what the vision means before god makes a demand on who he will have to become oh god the text tells us over and over again now while peter was thinking on the vision while still processing the vision peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen men he didn't get it when he saw it but god sends a need to make a demand on what's still in process [Applause] so often we don't move into positions of authority positions of grace positions of obedience because we haven't fully processed what i'm supposed to do when i get there i'll go when i know is what we say but we don't really have time for that because we're in the last days and if you gotta know before you go god's gonna breathe it into somebody else's ear because god wants someone who will find out on the way you see i don't know about you but i've come to a stage in my life where i realize that the only way that i can say yes is if i'm willing to go without knowing god i don't know exactly how you're going to use me when i get there but i packed my bags and i'm on the way god i don't know exactly how you're going to save this marriage but i'm going to go to the therapy anyway god i don't know exactly how you're going to save this child but i'ma stick beside him anyway i'm going to go before i know because i trust that as i will step in you're figuring it out as i'm stepping you're going ahead of me and making my crooked path straight i'm going because there's a need waiting for me when i get there i hear god saying you don't see the need now because you haven't moved in the direction of where god is sending you but when you get to where god is calling you the need will be so evident and i want to prophesy this over your life that there is no one else who can fulfill that need but you the moment that you step into that place god is going to reveal why it had to be you who released who release the grace that leads to transformation the grace that leads to transformation that rests on your life can no longer be stagnant it's time to move it's time to grow it's time to release the ministry and i don't just mean preaching i mean the ministry that is down on the inside of you anytime we hear the word ministry we think we got to grab a bible and a microphone if that's what god has called you to choose that too that's great but sometimes god will use your gift to help you serve ministry the gift is just a disguise for the ministry yeah i know how to do hair but i also know how to pray over you in a way that you've never been interceded over before yes i know a little bit about numbers but what i know more about is how i can bring a blessing to your finances god says that thing that i gave you is an authentic anointing that only rests on you there's a need on the other side of your yes a need on the other side of this confusion there's a need that's why the confusion is so strong is trying to keep you stagnant that's why the pain is so great is trying to make you quit because if you ever fulfill that need it'll change the world if you ever fulfill that need it'll change the culture if peter decides to stay stuck then the word of jesus never gets to the gentiles but if he says i may not understand it but i'm going to move anyway when i get there i'm gonna let god figure it out i wish i could say this the way that i feel it in my spirit but i hear god saying that there is freedom that needs to come to somebody's heart there is freedom that needs to come to somebody's spirit because they have been restricted by their confusion by their pain by their grief by their disappointment by their worry it's restricting the flow it's restricting the flow that's why you can't get breakthrough because it's restricting the flow that's why you can't get power because it's restricting the flow because you're hanging on so tight to that grief you're hanging on so tight to that pain you're hanging on so tight to that disappointment that it's restricting the flow of god and it felt good at first because you thought you were protecting yourself and it felt like wisdom and it felt like the only way you could be safe but i hear god saying you're holding on to it so tight that i can't get no oil through there but if you would release your hold on it it could release the oil to flow and all you need to see is that the oil can still flow through you i hear god saying you're still anointed you just gotta allow yourself to let go of what's been restricting you i know you're confused but don't let confusion control you i know you're upset but you're letting the upset control you i know you're disappointed but the disappointment is controlling your dreams it's controlling your speech it's controlling the way that you have vision again and i hear god saying i want to give you back the freedom to create i want to give you back the freedom to dream again i want to give you back the freedom to have power i don't know who told you that you having power wasn't good i don't know who told you that you weren't good enough you weren't qualified that you didn't have what it takes but i hear god saying that that was a trick of the enemy to keep you out of position and i hear god saying that if you would allow the flow to hit you again then i'll show you how to use that power i'll show you how to use that gift you may have abused it in the past but that's all right i'ma show you how to rise kill and eat from my glory imma show you how to rise kill and eat until we build a kingdom that cannot be shaken until you build a church that cannot be shaken until you build the mental fortitude necessary for the glory i want to put on your life i'ma prove it to you i'ma prove it to you peter is confused that god would tell him to rise kill and eat because it goes against everything that jewish customs stands for but when jesus gives this declaration to peter he's calling on a version of peter that was once rebuked right before jesus was headed to the cross there was a soldier that came for jesus and without command peter rose got ready to kill so that they could keep eating but he was rebuked in that moment because it was going up against the will of god but when he calls on this version of him in this text he's giving him permission to be all of who he is for the glory of what god wants to do now i don't know what you had to shut down because it didn't work in god's will at the time but i hear god saying shut down doesn't mean throw it away that i'm about to make a demand on the very thing that they weren't ready for yet but i'm ready for you now i'm ready for that attitude i'm ready for that strategy i'm ready for that creativity i'm ready for that innovation i'm ready for that breakthrough i'm ready for that power i'm ready for all that i put down on the inside of you you can bring it out now bring them out bring them out bring them out bring them out who's down inside of you that makes hell nervous bring them out bring them out bring them out bring them out who's down inside of you that'll break that generational curse it's in you it's in you and the kingdom needs it because the news would make you believe we are outnumbered but i'm crazy enough to believe that we may be outnumbered but one can chase one thousand and two can chase ten thousand don't let the numbers fool you if just three of us in this room got a revelation we could change this city and turn it upside down if i had four people online who didn't mind getting a revelation we could take this world and turn it right side up for the glory of the lord [Applause] peter says i can be loyal to what i know or i can be an accomplice to glory i want to be an accomplice to glory and so he goes i'm almost done the spirit tells him when he goes he says i'm sending someone for you go with them he says go with them doubting nothing doubting nothing don't doubt you don't doubt them don't doubt the environment don't doubt the culture i'm going to use all of it there's a difference between not doubting versus fully trusting i don't have to fully trust you to have no doubt that god's going to use you for the mission that he's laid out for my life you see sometimes we think that i have to fully trust someone in order for god to use them to manifest the destiny that's down on the inside of me but even those who you could not fully trust did you a favor because they revealed what was possible for you to overcome they revealed what was possible for you to have creativity for they did you a favor not because you trusted them but because you decided to have no doubt that all things could work together i may not trust you but i don't have any doubt that god can even use you for my for the benefit of my good i may not trust exactly where this will land but i have no doubt that god's going to use it and the spirit tells him the spirit tells him to go doubting nothing before i have sent them i was praying about this message i promise i'm finished we going to brunch that peter has to have a perspective shift about what is forbidden in order for him to move into what is predestined i preached a few months ago about a message about rules and in this text god says i'm willing to break the rule that i created in order to lay hold of the expansion of god expansion may require you to break some of the rules that once worked for you this is about expansion i i didn't know what to name this message i didn't even say anything they could name whatever they want to on youtube but a part of me wanted to name it position for expansion because i wanted you to understand that in order for you to be positioned for expansion it requires a level of intense vulnerability separation and isolation and when i say expansion i don't just mean in things that's cheap expansion [Music] i mean when god wants to expand you who you are what you're capable of god i need you to expand my thoughts god i'm tired of always being depressed always thinking so negative god i need to be positioned for expansion god i need expansion in the way that i communicate i need expansion in the way that i articulate i need expansion in the way that i study i need expansion in my discipline i need to be positioned for expansion and peter positions himself for expansion by doing things that he's not supposed to do because the culture says he can't do them but god is calling him beyond the culture [Music] you're in this room and i want you to know that i believe that god is calling us beyond the cultures of our family the cultures of our corporation god's calling us beyond the current culture to establish expansion and you can be married to the culture and you can be married to the way that things have always been done or you can dare to embrace a mentality of expansion and that mentality of expansion will require you to move into areas and arenas that you have never been in before i hear god saying do not disqualify yourself before you get there that when you get there the need for why it had to be you will be revealed but if you disqualify yourself the need will go unmet for every person in this room there is a need in the earth connected to your identity there is a need in the earth connected to why you are here and i hear god saying that unless you expand you can't fulfill it and so how does he fulfill it it's not by might it's not by power this one is a job for the spirit the spirit that's why god doesn't just give peter the vision he sticks with him so that he can warn him about about what's going to take place before it happens he warns peter he gives them strategy he's coaching them i hear god saying i'ma coach you through it i don't believe it you're not going to be in it by yourself i'm going to coach you the way your mother couldn't coach you i'm going to coach you the way your friends can't coach it that's why i had to extract you away from them that's why i had to separate you that's why no matter what they say no matter what the advice or the wisdom in it just doesn't resonate because they are not called to be your coach in this season they're called to just be your support but the only one who can coach you through the next dimension of the expansion of you is the holy spirit and so while you're calling asking people what you should do i hear god saying that i'm just waiting to tell you i got all of the details i know how many of them there are i know exactly which way you're going to take i know exactly what's going to be said when you get there i hear god saying i know what's waiting on the other side when i started praying about this message i prayed god who's waiting on the other side and god told me there are some warriors who have yet to be released there are some people who are waiting to rise up and i said god what do you want me to tell them and i heard god say tell them they are released to rise tell them that i'm giving them permission to stand up again tell them that i'm giving them permission to walk in power to walk in grace to walk in authority to walk in vision to walk in creativity to walk with the kind of power that makes demons tremble i hear god saying you've been shrunk for too long it's time for you to be released to rise come forth whoever you are and allow the spirit of god to expand the areas where life tried to deflate you life tried to shrink you life tried to lead you down to nothing but i'm going to tell you when it rolled you out that it only was allowing god to get you in the perfect form so that when the time came and the conditions were right you would rise up you better be careful who you're sitting next to they may be bigger than when they walked in this place you better be careful who it is that you're doing life with because i'm gonna be bigger than when i walked in this room what happened to you the spirit of god told me that it's time for me to rise up it's time for me to be who god has called me to be it's time for me to take ownership it's time for me to let a devil know that it can't happen in my house it's time for me to let the industry know there is another way to get it done it's time for a warrior to be a warrior it's time for a battle to be a fair fight and it'll only be a fair fight if a real one takes their place somebody's rising up somebody's coming into position somebody's moving out of their seat because they feel the glory of god is calling them higher somebody's going to write the book somebody's going to start the non-profit somebody's going to walk out of this place and break a door down [Applause] [Music] time for me to rise up it's time for me to rise up i don't have the language but i'm rising anyway i don't have the backup but i got heaven backing me up i don't know what's next but i know i'm on the way i don't know who's gonna do it i don't know how it's gonna get done but god said move so i'm moving [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i want it back [Applause] i want it back i want that spirit you gave me when you breathed your breath inside of me i want it back i want to throw it at something i'm tired of being stuck same old day same old me i rebuke you devil if this a new day it's a new me if god has caught me into this with new mercy and new praise then i got something new to exercise that grace [Applause] and that mercy with you [Applause] i'm releasing you to be all of you i'm releasing you to be all of you i'm releasing you to do it the only way you know how to do it i don't want you to do it the way they did it i want you to do it the only way you know the only way you know how to do it i want you to do it the way speak it the only way you can speak it move it the only way you can move it and trust trust i'm gonna coach you trust that i won't leave you trust that i went ahead of you trust that i made space for you trust that the room has already been cultivated for your anointing trust that the boss is already looking for someone just like you trust that the industry is already suspecting the kind of content that you want to create trust that the vision is a reflection of the need if god gave you vision for it it's because it is a solution it's a solution to what god wants to see happen in the earth next i'm finished i promise god's counting on us god's trusting us not to take his idea and make our own name great not to take his idea and manipulate it for what we want god is trusting that we're willing to lay down what we said we would never do to lay hold of what only god can do and there is no sweeter position than to be surrendered to that which only god can do [Music] and my bible tells me that peter asked even when he arrived at the destination what is it that you need from me and cornelius outlines what god told him and so peter begins to speak from the space of revelation he tells him everything that he experienced when walking with jesus and that he has now come to a place where he no longer believes that there is distinction between what is clean and what is unclean this is the difference between a jew or a gentile i believe that the grace of god the anointing of god the revelation of who jesus is can come to anyone this is what he tells them all peter does is give him the revelation that he has received the enemy is after your revelation what god has revealed to you about what's possible for people like you for other people there's a revelation that god placed inside of you just release the revelation release the revelation god you've shown them that you are a healer god you've shown them that you are a provider god you've shown them that you are no respecter of person god you've shown them you've shown them they have a revelation about who you are god they've seen you work they don't know if you'll do it again but they got something in their back pocket that says i've seen them do it before and because i've seen them do it before i'm going to hold on to the revelation that i know it can be done if you've ever had god heal your body make some noise because there's somebody in this room who needs to borrow your revelation if you've ever seen god heal a marriage make some noise because somebody in this room needs to hang on to your revelation can you borrow your neighbor's revelation if you know god to be a provider can you release that revelation in this room you better be careful because if you start releasing revelation depression may go running out of this door if you start releasing revelation doubt may go running down 408 if you release revelation somebody might get in position somebody may run upon a giant if you release revelation the enemy won't have anything to tell them with because if god did it for them then he can do it for me god i just need one revelation that you're still in the healing business i just need one revelation that you're still in the life-changing business i just need one revelation that what the enemy meant for evil god used it for good if that's your revelation makes some noise i got a revelation that he can save my child i got a revelation that no weapon formed against me will prosper i got a revelation that the blood still works i got a revelation that all things work together i got a revelation that heartbreak can turn out for my good i got a revelation that betrayal is not the end i got a revelation that resurrection power can still get down on the inside of me and bring me back to life i got a revelation and hell you can't take it and devil you can't have it [Applause] i'm armed with a revelation arms with a revelation armed [Music] armed and dangerous with your revelation armed and dangerous with your revelation that god can still perform miracles armed with the revelation [Applause] [Music] that he still he's still working [Music] all [Music] right arms you can't have my revelation [Applause] you may have took the job but you can't have my revelation i promise you i'm finished you may have took the friends but you can't have my revelation my revelation is that you'll never leave me nor forsake me my revelation is that yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil the bible is nothing but revelation about who god is so when you get in your word you might mess around and get a revelation that the same god who did it for david may mess around and let you take a giant down yourself with no degree with no backing but i got a revelation [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] my heart is beating because i'm expecting that what happened in this room is going to change things for my children's children if you can't praise them watch me praise them cause i've got a revelation that this just ain't church that this is a birthing room i got a revelation that this was the tipping point that would change the way you do what you do baby that you're not gonna just do it afraid that you're just not gonna do it cause everyone else did it but i'm only gonna do what i see my father in heaven do and my father in heaven sends me into forbidden territory he sends me into dark places because he knows i'll lift him up and if i'll lift him up i'll bring some people out

been forbidden in my mind but today i remove the rope and i say have your way as only you can do god i thank you that this is a sign of the expansion of me god thank you for every household represented at this altar thank you for every finished work that they will do for every foundation they will lay god i thank you that you are bestowing them with great grace for the journey that is ahead of them i speak liberty redemption [Applause] restoration [Applause] and connection to you god may they never feel alone or ill-equipped again because they have received from you that which only you can do seal this word god let it take root and produce fruit generational fruit [Applause] the kind of fruit that doesn't allow your vine to wither god that's what you're positioning them for we receive it and we call it so in jesus name amen can you say amen in this place no can we do better than that for just a minute just a minute somebody received breakthrough can we just praise them can we just thank god for freedom can we thank god for revelation can we thank god that somebody's being restored that somebody's hope somebody's faith is coming back to them [Applause] [Music] family this is the last sunday of the month of august this is the last sunday for a new beginning and i want to give you an opportunity to sew in and increment i'm going to sow eight hundred dollars if you can partner with me and sew in eight hundred dollars i want you to lift your hand up if you're watching online i want you to partner with me and i want you to sell eight hundred dollars if it's not eight hundred for you i want it to be eighty dollars any increment of eight but i want us to mark it as a sign that we have been released to rise let me tell you why i sow into a word when i sow into a word that has epically changed the way that i see things the word brings me into new territory and i sow a seed in that place of new territory as a sign that this is the place that i want to receive harvest i want to receive harvest from this place right here and so i want to invite you to partner with me and sealing this word with giving whatever increment of eight if eight dollars is your sacrifice let's do eight dollars if it's eight thousand let's do eight thousand but i wanna do an eight because eight marks the new beginning and i don't know about you but something new happened in this place i feel liberty i feel freedom if that's your testimony i want you to make some noise cause i want to make sure i'm in the right room [Applause] i got a new beginning i got a new breakthrough i got a new release i've got new power the instructions are on the screen you can give by text to give or our professional ministry technicians are in the aisle only if you feel moved but my god i felt something today that i didn't even think was possible i felt some freedom come over me that i thought was long gone freedom that i never thought i could tap into god and i don't want to forget it so i'm sowing this seed god i want to sow something that cost me as a reminder of what took place in this moment and when you have your seed even if you're still filling not the envelope i want you to stand up i want to pray over your seed i want to pray over your new territory i don't know if you're like me but every now and then when you move into a new place you have someone come over to bless it you may go maybe going back to the same car you may be going back to the same house but you're going back new and it's going to be new because it's the space that you occupy i want you to get in on this online type i'm in in the comment section if you're joining us in this seat i'm in i'm in i mean i may not be able to see you but you can see me and if you type i'm in then i could see you in this i'm going to pray over this new beginning oh god i thank you even if you're still getting ready that's okay got a fresh start a new beginning i didn't know that i needed it but you saved the last sunday in the month for me to be reminded that this is an opportunity for transformation god i thank you that those who are joining in this offering are doing so from a place of fresh revelation from a place of restored hope and faith and god i know that you know every sacrifice connected to where they are in this moment that you've been keeping good tabs and that they are going to reap a harvest not just for what they're sowing in this moment but for what they have been sowing all along they're going to reap a harvest that they don't have room enough to receive so god i'm praying that you would attract their laborers to them so that they don't have to carry this harvest on their own because i am crazy enough to believe that when you said that you would open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that they don't have room enough to receive that you will also allow for there to be people connected to bringing the harvest in god i thank you that their people are coming for them and they are coming for you bless their seed from the balcony to africa from the front row to alaska bless our seeds god will build your kingdom will give you the glory and we will be evidence that you are still revealing yourself to your sons and daughters in jesus name amen i love you family [Music] you
