I'm telling you according to Genesis 3 and15 that he is just looking for a few good women who wouldn't mind letting hell know you picked the wrong woman you picked the wrong family you picked the wrong marriage you picked the wrong child this hostility is a one-way street I'm so sick and tired of the devil telling me who I can be and what I can do you don't have no power here when my savior got on the cross this hostility became a oneway street Genesis 3 and 15 God says to the serpent I'm going to put enmity between you and the woman and that her seed will bruise your head but your seed will bruise her heel that word enmity I love that word enmity I'm going to read it one more time it says the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something and I don't know about you but there are moments for me when I feel that enmity I feel that opposition from the enemy I feel that hostility from the enemy it's like I take two steps forward and sometimes he takes me 10 steps backwards it feels like every time I start pursuing that vision and that identity that God has for me that he sends someone who reminds me of who I used to be or shame from who I was creeps up behind me I feel that hostility every time I start pressing towards the mark and so that enmity is such a powerful word that I don't think that I could replace it with anything else but what I love is that God didn't just say that I'm going to put the enmity against the woman from the serpent he says that this enmity is going to be a two-way street that the the woman is not just going to feel opposed by the serpent but that the woman is going to represent opposition for the serpent as well somebody understands that what I'm saying is that when a woman steps into her purpose and when a woman steps into who she is in God that the enemy may have some opposition but she is opposition for the enemy too that means that when you registered for Propel and you made arrangements for the kids and you decided that you were going to be in here by any means necessary I'm going to stand in line at 7:00 a.m. not because I don't have anything else to do but because I am opposition for the enemy and there's a word waiting somewhere with my name on it I am the enemy's opposition I know it doesn't look like it because of all I went through but I'm just dusting off the what the dirt from what I went through so that I can become the enemy's opposition I'm not in here to be cute I'm not in here to play games I'm in here because I'm opposition against the enemy he's claimed too many of my women he's claimed my mother he claimed my sister but he can't have me I'm opposition I'm your worst nightmare I'm going need a little more heat in the microphone because I need somebody to know that they are the enemy's worst nightmare when you woke up this morning and you dressed yourself to come into this room that demons started trembling because I didn't want you to get a revelation about who you are but I came to set somebody free in this place you are his greatest threat a woman who knows who she is in God is the enemy's greatest threat I know that I went through some things that may have bruised my heel but you still better be afraid of me it wouldn't have looked like it when I was 13 years old and pregnant but I was the enemy's greatest threat it wouldn't have looked like it when you were going through divorce but you were the enemy's greatest threat it wouldn't have looked like it when you were struggling with that addiction but you were the enemy's greatest threat you are his opposition and that is why there will always be War over what a woman can put in the Earth because a woman knows how to take a seed and turn it into a person she knows how to take a seed and turn it into a nonprofit she knows how to take a seed and turn it into a business it wouldn't even make sense if you saw the seed if you saw what some of these women had gone through if you would have seen the seed that started Christine Cain you would have never believed that it would turn into Propel but she's a woman who recognized that I am the enemy's greatest threat and I don't know about you but I feel like it's about time for the enemy to start understanding that that enmity is a two-way street that you're not just going to keep attacking me and you're not just going to keep depressing me and you're not just going to keep oppressing me that I don't care how I have to do it or who I must become or what have to go through to make it to the other side there's going to come a point in time where you are opposing me not because of what I went through but because of what is still yet to come out of me still something that must come out of you wow and I asked myself I said God why is it that the enmity couldn't be between The Serpent and the man why did it have to be the woman this notion that we are the weaker vessels then why not put the stronger vessel up for the fight but when I study my word and I look at the character of God and I believe wholeheartedly that he makes no mistakes it means that when he put enmity between the woman and the serpant the woman and the enemy that it wasn't just a fairfight that it was a fixed fight that he didn't put us into this position because he thought that a loss was even possible that he put us in the position because he knew the win would be guaranteed that means that not only is it fair which means that if you roll up your sleeves and you be who God has called you to be and you start trusting what he says about who you are and what you can do in the earth that the fight is going to turn in your favor I hear God telling somebody you're the woman for the job I know what the doctor said about the cancer but I hear God saying you're the woman for the job that I put you in a fight that was already fixed that I put you in a fight that you were bound to win I know the child is acting crazy I know they're cutting up on the job but you are the woman for the job if you don't hear anything else I say in this place I want you to know that there is nothing that is happening in your life that is designed to take you out that thing is designed to birth the best version of you my girl my sister you are the woman for the job when the enemy tried to make me feel nervous I told the enemy you can't have my mind today cuz I'm the woman for the job I'm going to do flat footed what God has called me to do cuz I'm the woman I'm the woman for the job I'm the woman for the job somebody's got to start prophesying over that situation that's trying to tell you you're not going to make it honey I'm the woman for the job I'm going to raise that child anyway I'm going to start that business anyway I don't care what the bank said I don't need a bank my God shall provide all of my needs I'm the woman for the job baby I'm the only one who can do what I do the way that I do it and you you're the woman for the job you're the woman for the job I want to rebuke depression trying to make you believe that you're not the woman for the job I want to rebuke suicide trying to make you believe that we would be better without you I bind you Satan you have no power here and when you attacked my sister you attacked me I'm the woman for the job I know how to Warfare for the woman who can't War for herself I'm the woman for the job so when we talk about positioning and the way that life has the tendency of of putting us in positions that we don't always feel qualified for I can't help but think about Mary and how God saw that she was the woman for the job even though Mary initially didn't believe that she was the woman for the job man I can relate to that someone says Pastor I want to believe that I'm the woman for the job but if I'm honest I don't feel qual qu ified I'm in position but I don't feel qualified for the position I'm in and the position is trying to make me believe that I don't have what it takes to make it to the other side and for a moment I want to glean some wisdom from Mary that I hope can help you in the position that God has placed you in because if we remember God doesn't make mistakes and if he called you into that position no matter how overwhelming the position is it's because he believes that you are the woman for the job and so our task then becomes to ask God what is it that you know about me that would have you place me in this position because if you place me in this position then you know something about me that I don't know yet and sometimes our greatest prayer should be God would you open up my eyes so that I can see who I am supposed to be in your kingdom that I would not compare myself to everything that came before me or the things coming up behind me but that I would trust that you place me in this position because no one else could do it like me but me Mary teaches us that the most powerful thing that any of us can do when we have this feeling is to go anyway yeah so Mary doesn't feel qualified but she goes any anyway she goes not knowing how she's supposed to take this baby and turn it into a king when the angel of the Lord appears to Mary he tells Mary everything that that child is going to be but she doesn't receive the promise in the form that God said that it was going to end up in God help me to say it there are moments when we receive something from God that doesn't look like where it's going to end oh I feel like that's a word for somebody that you're looking at the baby wondering how the baby's going to become king you're looking at the small thing trying to figure out how is that ever going to become the big thing God you told me that I would be the one that would break the generational curse but right now I look like every other generation that came before me how am I going to take this small thing and turn it into a big thing God you told me that you would bless my business but I can't even get the financing I need God says I didn't give it to you the in the form that it's going to end up in I gave it to you in the form that would grow you up into the person who could raise it into everything that it could be I feel like somebody's got to get that down in your spirit do not despise the days of Small Beginnings that it started off small so that you could grow with it because when you grow with it it grows you up when you grow with it it grows you up and so Mary teaches us the power of going anyway she questions her ability initially but ultimately she chooses to trust God's plan for her life Mary chose to just go anyway sometimes you have to just go anyway God gives you what you need as you go and sometimes we want all of the answers and God I want to know how you're going to do it I'm not saying I won't go I'm just saying can you tell me exactly how it's going to happen and God says I'll tell you how it's going to happen when you start moving be see because God is looking for someone who he can order steps along the way I feel like there's someone in this room that if God gave you all of the steps right now that you would feel more in control than you actually are when you go anyway it is a sign to God that I don't have to have all of the answers I just want to be where you tell me I am supposed to be God I don't know how you're going to do it in my marriage I don't know how you're going to do it in my family but I am going to go anyway and when I go you meet me where you tell me you were going to meet me when you go God meets you he's calling you to where he is that's why we have to go because God calls you to where he is and when we move in that direction it is a sign to him that we can be trusted because there are moments when God orders our steps but we got to take them first I got to forgive I got to go anyway I want to stay stuck in this bitterness I want to stay stuck in this pain but I can't stay here so I got to go anyway and Mary starts going anyway and so some of you are wondering okay I'll go anyway I'll do what God told me to do I don't know how he's going to do it I don't have all of the resources that I need in order to do it but I want to go anyway and so Mary teaches us a valuable lesson and if you're taking notes I want you to write this down because what Mary teaches us and those moments where we have to go anyway is that the power in going starts with you using what you know Mary begins to just follow the customs of the Jewish people at that time God gave her something that is going to ultimately deliver Israel but right now she doesn't know how it's going to become a deliverer and so because she doesn't know how she's going to get from A to Z she just starts working what she knows she knows that when I have a baby that I need to wait until my time of purification is over and after that I need to go into Jerusalem and I need to present the baby she works what she knows while she goes the most powerful thing that any of us can do is activate what we know because when we activate what we know it gives God permission to show us more and to teach us more imagine had Eve been in the garden and she simply activated what she knew there are things that we know about our lives that we haven't activated yet because we don't know what's waiting on the other side but when you use what you know it starts to lead you into the direction that God says he's calling you towards that means the relationship has to end that means that we have to have the Forgiveness down in our heart even though we don't believe that the person is truly sorry our forgiveness is not predicated on whether not that person is actually sorry my forgiveness is predicated on the fact that I'm going anyway that I'm not going to stay stuck where that pain met me I'm not going to stay stuck where that disappointment met me I'm going anyway so Mary begins to go anyway and she's using what she knows because learning how to go anyway and using what you know I think is one of the most powerful things that any of us can do so after she's come out of the presence Mary Begins the task of living out what God Said to God said to do and so in the process of doing this she is presenting this child Jesus into to Simeon and I have to be honest when I read this text text I felt like I felt like it was out of order because Simeon says in verse 29 he identifies with Mary and confirms with Mary what God already said about what she was caring she says he says Lord now you are letting your servant depart in peace according to your word for my eyes have seen your salvation which you have prepared before the face of All Peoples a light to bring Revelation to the Gentiles Mary already knew all of those things that that is what she was carrying and that's who the child would become so in many ways this is confirmation for her but then Simeon says something that seems like it is contradicting what he just said because he says behold this child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel and for a sign which will be spoken against yes a sword will pierce through your own soul when the angel of the Lord came he didn't say nothing about no sword let's see bonic version slipping out again God when you gave me the promise when you told me what I was carrying when you told me who I would become when you told me I was fearfully and wonderfully made when you told me that all things were going to work together for my good you you didn't tell me about the swords that were going to be a part of the journey this feels like a contradiction from from what you said I don't know if anyone else in this room has ever been in a position where God made you a promise but then a sword came and the sword didn't look like the promise and the trauma didn't look like the promise and the bankrupts he didn't look like the promise God how am I supposed to lay hold of the promise with a sword piercing through my soul I felt like Simeon should have given the bad news first and then the good news I felt like he should have said all of these things are going to happen but he's going to be resurrected and everything's going to be okay in the end but for some reason it doesn't work like that he gives the Revelation and the promise first and then he gives the process afterwards because it is not on Simeon to remind you what the promise is it is on us to remember what the promise is in the middle of the process when I was studying all I could hear was God said I put the butt first I put that thing that you thought should be the butt at the end of the bad news I said it first and then I started looking back over my own life and all of the moments where I felt like a sword was piercing through my own soul where I was waiting for God to say but this is going to work out in the end and but you're going to be healed and and but all things are going to work together for your good but God says I'm not going to repeat what I already t told you I put the butt first and I just came to Fort Lauderdale Florida to let somebody know that I know it took a lot for you to get into this room and I know you're wondering how God is going to work it out but I hear God saying I put the butt first that when I wrote in the scriptures that all things were going to work together for your good I wasn't just talking about the people in the text I was talking about the people who would hear my voice and follow what I said to do that means that at the end of the day the bed is still on at the end of the day the promise is still yes and amen that means that no weapon formed against you will prosper I put that in there first I know you're looking at the weapon but I'm telling you it won't Prosper I know you're looking at the depression but I'm telling you the joy of the Lord is your strength I know you're looking at the struggle but I'm telling you that when it's all said and done though he slays you you can trust in him I put the butt first that means that you got to start telling your situation I know what it looks like but I know what God Said first and I'm hanging on to what God Said first in the middle of what's taking place I don't let the middle shake me I remember what God Said first God said I was fearfully and wonderfully made God said that I was going to make it to the other side God said that his Spirit would overtake me and it would show up right on time I put the butt I put it first I put it first so don't let this idea of the promise going through a hostile and environment convince you that the promise doesn't exist anymore because that hostility remember is a two-way street and when we go silent when we feel that hostility it is one of the most dangerous things that we can do because then that hostility becomes a one-way Street and we start feeding off of the images of our past and the statistics about women like us and girls like us because that hostility is a oneway street but all I wanted to do when I came here was to open up that other side of the street again and to give you permission to really be propelled for sure to give you permission to really be activated again to give you permission to get back in position and recognize that God is still working in the midst of everything that is happening that our God is still in control and that he is looking for a few good women I know they did a movie about a Few Good Men but I'm telling you according to Genesis 3 and15 that he is just looking for a few good women who wouldn't mind letting hell know you picked the wrong woman you picked the wrong family you picked the wrong marriage you picked the wrong child this hostility is a one-way street I'm so sick and tired of the devil telling me who I can be and what I can do you don't have no power here when my savior got on the cross this hostility became a one-way Street it's a two-way street baby it's a two-way street and I want to prophesy that when you leave this place that eyes haven't seen and ears haven't heard what God is going to do down on the inside of you not so that you can look good but so that he can look good I'm looking for women who don't mind making their life my stage I'm looking for some women who don't mind making their marriage my stage I want to be your stage I want to be a stage for the glory to fall I want to be a stage for the spirit to fall everyone else can be scared when they read the news that just makes me go harder because I recognize that everything the enemy is trying to use for evil that my God is going to turn it around for good how do I know it for sure cuz he picked a few good women from Fort Lauderdale Florida to go to war with him as only they can do and that's why it had to be you because he needed a woman who would get so angry and get so tired at having their back up against the wall that when everyone else would lay down and lie she would wake up one morning and say you know what devil I've had enough of you playing with my mind I've had enough of you playing with my finances I've had enough of you playing with my marriage I wish I had some women in this room who didn't mind saying I don't mind going to war with the devil I'm not afraid of Darkness cuz I carry the light I'm not afraid of dying a flavor because I am the salt of the earth I need some women just one or two of you really cuz one of us could Chase 1,000 two of us could Chase 10,000 I wonder if a hundred of us got together in this room and decided that the days of women being oppressed and Silent are over that I've got something to prophesy over these dry bones and I won't close my mouth until everything that God has put in me comes out of me like fire shut up in my bones they going to make me preach in Fort Lauderdale Florida I promised I wasn't going to preach but now I'm starting to feel like it's some devils in this room and I came to run some devils out of Florida I came to run depression out of Florida I came to make a woman get back in position and then take her rightful place as a woman who has victory over the enemy I got victory over that I've got victory over addiction I've got victory over cancer I've got victory over everything that's been happening in my family I've got victory over Suicidal Thoughts I got victory over that I know it doesn't look like Victory I'm telling you where it's going to end you're looking at the middle but I'm listening to what God Said first God said I was going to come out of this God said that this thing was going to take me out I'm prophesying cuz I don't care what the middle says I care what God Said first and the most powerful thing that ever happened to me is when I was six or seven years ago I decided that even though I got pregnant at 13 had my son at 14 even though I dropped out of college even though I was waitressing at a strip club even though I did all of these things that were supposed to disqualify me the most powerful thing that ever happened to me is I went back to what God Said first I stopped looking at where I was in the middle and I zoomed out of the picture and when I zoomed out of the picture all I could see was when I was formed in my mother's womb to where he promised me that I was going to make it to the other side what is the other side the other side is when his glory can be manifested through my life and I realized that I could not say zoomed in to where I was and let glory be manifested through my life at the same time so I had to make a decision to clear the way for Glory to clear the way for his anointing to fall to clear the way for him to show up that's why Eve is really one of my favorite women in the Bible because Eve found a way to clear the path for the seed that was meant to bruise the head of the serpent to be birthed I love that Eve wasn't concerned with whether or not she would see the seed all she was concerned with was setting the promise in motion so Eve has Cain and Abel and they had beef but she did not allow the fact that Cain and Abel did not look like the seed that would bruise the head of the serpent to keep her from still producing she chose to keep on producing even when the thing that was supposed to be the seed or could have been the seed died she said if that seed didn't work then there must be another seed if I had time I would preach a message called Throw Another seed at it cuz there are moments in life when the first seed doesn't look like the seed that is supposed to be the seed and we shut down all together when God really just wanted you to throw another seed at it Eve throws another seed at it through Seth and Seth becomes ultimately the first line of redemption that would lead us to Jesus so all Eve decided to do really was not focused on whether or not she would see it but whether or not she could do something that would just set it in motion that's my prayer for you activate is that you would not be so consumed with whether or not you are the one who actually pulls every everyone over to the other side that you would not be so concerned with whether or not your business that is just starting off becomes a Forbes company right now you you're thinking too big that you have to work what you know until you get to where God said you would go so the only thing that I want you to focus on is setting something in motion
