"Skin In The Game" by Sarah Jakes Roberts

i love you all so much i love you so much man we were planning for the conference and things started getting stressful and i said if i could just hang on and get them in the room if i could just get them in the room i know that everything we've been going through is going to be worth it are you so glad to be here have you already felt the presence of god just connecting the room letting you know he sees every part of you you are not here by coincidence he's going to do everything that he promised to do you are not going to leave this place the same and i just want to add to what god is already doing in this atmosphere i've been praying and meditating and studying and i believe i have a word for you before i jump into the word though i want to acknowledge my husband who has been an incredible facilitator of my purpose and i can honestly say that there would be no woman evolve without him because he pushed me and he stretched me and in that pushing and in that stretching i discovered my purpose and so honey i just want to honor you and i want to thank you for pulling all of us out of our ruts and out of our issues and struggles had it not been for your anointing and covering can y'all just help me i'mma get into the word for just a minute but when god brings you somebody who sees you the way that he sees you and won't allow you to fall anything short of that you gotta take a minute and acknowledge that and so i thank you honey for calling me higher and higher and higher you my number one my number one all right child let's get into this word i'm going to be speaking from luke 22 before you sit down i'm going to ask you to stand up i know y'all's feet hurt i know mine do too i'm not sure that these shoes are going to make it throughout the whole sermon but stylish jay bowling can talk to me about that later i am going to be speaking from luke 22 35 the reason i asked you to stand it is just the custom of our house to stand for the reading of the word i don't have a lot of scripture so you won't be standing for a very long time i'm going to be reading from the new king james version i'm going to start in verse 35. for proper context you should know that jesus has had the last supper with his disciples and he is preparing to ultimately turn himself over to the pharisees and sadducees and those who are all upset about his ministry and his call and he feels it appropriate before turning himself over to make sure that he prepares his disciples for the shift that's going to take place aren't we so glad that god doesn't just shift us we look back over our lives and we see had i not gone through that i wouldn't have been ready for where i am now god prepared me for what i'm standing in now i used to not understand when i was raised into jake's house oh god why would you put me here i can't even connect with you i don't even know how to worship but god says i'm preparing you for something that you can't see yet just give it a few years and you'll see why i put you there because i needed you to understand what i was doing down on the inside of you so jesus is preparing the disciples for the next shift there's a shift coming you're not just here at another conference to feel good there's a shift coming in the atmosphere i came here to get prepared for the shift i feel like something is moving down on the inside of me i feel like something is changing down on the inside of me i can't quite identify what it is but i'm here because i set something shifting so jesus prepares them for the shift and he says he says to them when i sent you without money bag knapsack and sandals did you like anything so they said nothing then he said to them but now but now it's not going to be like the last time so don't hold me to what i used to do because you'll miss what i'm doing now somebody needs to forgive god for not doing it the way that he did it before because he's doing something new right now you just can't see it [Applause] [Music] but now he who has a money bag let him take it and likewise the knapsack and he who has no sword let him sell his garment and by one for i say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in me there's another level there's another layer of who i am and it hasn't been accomplished yet so i have to prepare everyone around me for what i'm about to walk into somebody needs to start sending text messages i'm about to shift into something and i just want you to grab everything you can grab because when i move you got to move with me when i grow you got to grow with me somebody's best friend is sitting beside them you came here by yourself but i'm your growing buddy i'mma help you become everything you're supposed to be i may not listen to the same music as you i may not look the same way you do but when it's growing time i'm the one for the job cause i'ma make sure you become everything [Applause] they showing out already lord [Applause] and he was numbered with the transgressors for the things concerning me have an end father god lord it's been me you and this word for the last couple of weeks i don't know how you want to pour it out or what you want to say but i surrender myself to this moment right now i declare that there will be no fear there will be no anxiety there will be no stumbling over words that this word will be clear and concise and that it will meet every woman in this room exactly where she needs to be met by you so we open our hearts we open our minds and we open our ears god because we need to hear from you in jesus name amen you guys can get seated and get comfortable i love you too child i always tell people that i pay people to do that when i go places i might have at least one amen in the room so this week i knew that we were going to be in denver and because of the altitude sometimes when i'm preaching and i get nervous like i don't keep my breathing patterns the way that i should so i said to myself i'm going to go to orange theory in denver so that i can get my wind about me so that i don't be up here breathless but the air is literally thinner in denver i don't know if you all have noticed that first of all you need to stay hydrated for real stay hydrated drink your water while you're here okay put on lotion i know some of you have a ministry where you can go every other day without lotion you will look down and your elbows will be telling on you make sure that you get into all of the ridges because you need lotion in denver if you don't have lotion it's all right we're a sisterhood i'll pass you some so i went to orange theory because i wanted to like get my breathing together but i knew when i went into orange theory that like i was going to take it easy because the air is thinner but the coach did not know my plan so you know usually i like to jog walk because god has not delivered my thighs into a full run yet so i like jog well i was a power walker in denver okay because i'm pacing myself then i went to the lifting area and you know i grabbed 15's because i'm trying to take it easy god has not released me to pick up the 20s and so i'm going through my little sets and i'm doing what god has called me to do when i'm on the floor and the coach goes you're so strong don't you think you can do a 20 and i was like girl drink your water mind your business okay but now i'm in my head because she didn't challenge me you know and i ain't no punk all right she didn't call me strong and i'm feeling myself a little bit and then so when i had grabbed the 20s though i remembered why i had not picked them up in the first place because my chest press is more of a 15 right now it's really not a 20 yet and so i put them down but you know what i realized she really tricked me she got me to change my mind about what i said i was going to do when i got into the space and that's a word for somebody because people will have you changing your mind about something that you knew that you had to set some boundaries and limitations on and i realized again why i love eve because eve did not just eat from the fruit the serpent deceived her first the old king james version it says he beguiled her that's it can you guys please acknowledge my sister who is here not sure we'll be hearing more from her throughout this sermon it's fine um the sermon the serpent you see what happens jk jk i need my a man corner the serpent beguiled eve that word beguiled is a hebrew word it means that she was mentally led astray if you break it all the way down it means that he seduced her mind because we don't just end up in the situations that we're in our mind is slowly seduced and when our mind is slowly seduced it ultimately changes our diet i didn't mean to end up in this toxic relationship i just didn't think that i deserved any better my mind was slowly seduced and when my mind got seduced it changed the way i ate changed my diet i used to think i was fearfully and wonderfully made but then i made that mistake and i didn't think that that scripture applied to me any longer so i started doing things that i would have never done because something beguiled my mind mentally i was led astray that's why the enemy will always be after your thoughts and your mind because if i can change your mind then i can change your diet and if i can change your diet then i can make you no longer have a taste for the thing that will ultimately deliver you and reveal to you what god always knew about you and so eve fell into a trap she fell into a trap i would like to call this message for those of you who take notes skin in the game skin in the game eve falls into this trap and when she falls into this trap she realizes that she is messed up not just for herself but for all of humanity and what i love about this is when god discovers that they are no longer where they are supposed to be the scripture tells us that he is walking in the cool of the day in the garden eve and adam have fallen into a trap and god comes walking in the cool of the day i love this when i read it because as i was studying it for this message i realized that god walked into the trap that eve fell in yeah eve fell in it but god walked in it eve stumbled into that situation but god doesn't sleep nor does he slumber nor does he stumble into anything god says if eve has fallen into a trap then she needs something powerful enough to walk into that thing that she fell and i wish i could say that the way that i studied it because there's somebody who's fallen into a trap who thinks that they're in that trap by themselves but the moment that god knew that they were in a trap he came walking in the garden let me get down in this trap with you let me get down in this situation with you what i love about god is he doesn't just leave you where you fell he gets down in that mess with you i know you didn't think he was in there because you called it a praying grandmother but when you look back over your life you'll see that god got down in that trap with you you called it a teacher who just knew you were special i call it god getting down in that trap with me you call it a husband you call it a friend i call it god getting down in the trap with me i fell in the but god walked in this thing with me because there are some traps that you fall in that the only way you can get out is if god gets down in that trap with you god i can't get out of this unless you get down in here with me god i am incapable of getting out of it by myself so i'm going to need you to get down in this trap with me and he does that he does that for eve he gets down in the track with her and when he's down in the trap with eve he assesses the situation because down in the trap he's got adam and the serpent and eve in the trap and while they're in the trap god assesses the situation and that's where that genesis 3 15 comes in that i love so much when he assesses the situation he says the only way i can fix this is if i get eve to produce seed and her seed has to crush the head of the serpent but but the thing is that eve doesn't have seed in this moment eve is not pregnant so it's not like god is declaring a promise that she actually has in her possession because sometimes god gives you a promise that doesn't look like anything you have in your possession god god tells eve your seed is gonna bruise his head your seed is gonna crush this but god i don't have any seed this promise feels like a fantasy that i would be the one to start the business that i would be the one who would be able to break a generational curse god you gave me a promise but that promise feels like a fantasy god that i would finally have my mind together god that i would finally be the one who was able to go to school now i can't even get accepted i can't even get alone into school got this promise feels like a fantasy god gives her this promise but i realized that part of the reason why he could give the promise is because he was going to make eve work with him to manifest it and all eve would have to do is put some skin in the game god would give her seed but he needed her to put skin in the game i love that term skin in the game it's actually an investment term when a ceo invests in his own company when he buys stock in his own company it's a sign of good faith for the company because it says if the ceo is willing to risk his own finances to be in the company then i can support what the ceo was doing that's why jesus is the way for me because he messed around and wrapped himself in flesh the chief ceo i don't know if it's anybody in here who needs to follow somebody who has some skin in the game but he wrapped himself in flesh and said i can fix this i'ma put some skin in the game i'm not going to make eve go up against this thing by herself i'm not going to make tanya go up against this thing by herself jessica's not going to have to face it by herself i'm going to give her seed but she's going to have to put some skin in the game too this time i'm not going to do it the way that i did it before i'm gonna need some women who don't mind putting some skin in the game who don't mind saving up to come to denver colorado to come and receive somebody told me last week i could have gone to essence or i could have came here but i needed to have some skin in the game i needed god to know that i'm taking this thing seriously i needed god to know that i'm willing to put my money where my mouth is that i'm willing to grow into the woman that he's called me to be somebody's in this room because they got skin in the game i can't afford to lose my child i can't afford to lose my marriage i got too much skin in the game i've invested too much in this business i've invested too much in my healing i can't afford [Applause] i refused to lose i refused to lose i went through too much hell i went through too much struggle i'm not just going to sit back and watch my life fall apart any longer i put some skin in the game for this thing so eve put some skin in the game that's what i feel like god was calling me to do all while we were preparing for conference kept thinking to myself god last year this just came together and this year i'm having to fight to do it but god says this year you need to put some skin in the game i know this isn't the sexy god that we like to talk about that will just bless you with anything that you ask for but there's a level of glory that you can only access when you put some skin in the game jesus was doing good when he was walking around healing and prophesying but for him to reach his ultimate glory he had to get on the cross he had to crucify his flesh he had to put some skin in the game he had to say i'm so serious about this that i'm willing to invest on it i'm willing to put my life in it god said will you do it if it cost you will you do it if it hurts you will you do it if it stresses you out will you do it if the team falls apart and i said god i can't go back to who i used to be so i'm gonna have to annie up and put some skin in the game god i can't go back to what i was i can't just stay here where i am i gotta put some skin in the game turn to your neighbor say it's time to put some skin in the game it's time to put some skin in the game it's time for you to actually invest in yourself it's time for you to actually take this thing seriously i know you wanted it to come to you easy but it can't come to you easy and it still be glorious and i don't know about you but i'm trying to produce something that has glory connected to it i need people to see me and say it ain't no way that could have happened unless god got down in the mix i had to put some skin in the game but he gave me some seed to work with i'm trying to take that seed and bring it to fruition i'm trying to take that seed and make it everything it's supposed to be and that's why i refused to lose because i got too much skin in the game i got too many women riding on me i got too many family members who need to see somebody finally get their life together i got too much skin in the game everyone else can quit and pack up their toys and go home good for them but as for me and my house we gonna serve what god is doing around here cause i gotta put some skin in the game it ain't a hot girl summer it ain't a city girl summer it's a skin in the game summer skinny game summer make some noise in this place everything else is trendy but only what i do with god will last i'm trying to do something that makes the earth shake i'm trying to do something to make hell nervous i came to put some skin in the game my mother couldn't do it my ain't he couldn't figure it out but god brought me on the scene right when i can break that curse [Applause] my daughters need me to put some skin in the game my neighbor needs me to put some skin in the game i'm going back to school i'm gonna write the book anyway i'm gonna start saving like the business is already a fortune 500 company i'm getting my body right i'm getting my mind right i'm getting my heart right cause i got skin in the game depression let me go suicide you can't have me i gotta put some skin in the game [Music] and shady loose here loose here you gon let that woman go woman that want loose you gonna let that woman go oh yeah i'm coming every time the enemy tried to stop me i told the devil i'm doubling down i'll go into my own pocket to pull this conference on cause you're gonna let that woman go you're gonna let this generation go you're gonna let this culture go [Music] balcony make some noise who got some skin in the game up there livestream makes some noise who got some skin in the game in this room i can't go back [Applause] so so god got down in this track with eve when he got down in that trap he said you put the skin in i'll put the seed in [Applause] you put the skin in i'll put the seed in you go ahead and apply you go ahead and move you go ahead and step out on faith you put the skin in i'll handle the seed i came to prophesy that over somebody in this room god said i don't need you to have everything i just need you to have a little skin in the game i need you to start studying i need you to start planning like the seed is on the way i know the seed is on the way because i put the skin in the game i'm just waiting on the sea to hit my skin and when the seed [Applause] so uh god is down in this trap with even he puts this seed in and she puts her skin in and it would still be generations before we see what he prophesied in genesis 3 and 15. i want to tell you the difference between eve falling into this trap and jesus walking into this trap i love studying the life of jesus because when i study the life of jesus i recognize beyond his power and his anointing what i admired when i was studying this text is strategy jesus had a strategy so when the pharisees would try to trick him into saying but the law says this what do you say he would always find a way to navigate the question because he knew the pharisees were out to get him and because they were out to get him he had to navigate until he was in a position where he could use their ignorance against them but that time that moment of avoiding the pharisees is coming to an end and now it's time for him to let them actually trap him so that he can go to the cross jesus is walking into a trap i want to tell you that the difference between eve falling into a trap and jesus walking into a trap is that jesus had a revelation about the trap that he was going to be walking into it but that the trap was a tunnel and if he could survive walking through the trap then he could access the next level of glory that awaited him i like to say that this is when jesus became a member of the bruised heel society because as powerful as jesus was what made him who he is now is what he did on the cross which means that he would have to volunteer to have his heel bruised in order to reach the ultimate level of effectiveness in his calling there are some women in this room who have fallen into tracks like me and because you have fallen into traps you don't want to walk into another trap so even though god has been telling you this is what i think you should do doing that looks like walking into a trap god god i can't do that because i've told everyone else that i really wanted to go to school but now i can't tell them that i'm actually an artist that feels like a trap god i can't save everyone else's children and then have my child falling apart god this feels like i walked into a trap how is it that you were calling me to walk into this trap but when he walks into this trap he does it with intentionality because he realizes that the only way i can access this glory is if i walk i gotta walk through this trap i gotta walk through this trap i don't need god to deliver me from it i need you to teach me how to walk through it god i'm not asking you to save me god i'm not asking you to pull me out of it because i feel like there's something to this thing that if i managed to navigate it the right way that i could break a stronghold off of my family god if i walk through this trap oh i feel that for somebody i don't know who you are but god says if you let me lead you through this trick if you let me lead you through this tricky situation if you let me lead you through this trap when we get through the other side there will be no doubt that my glory was in it all along i hear god saying that i'm not going to embarrass you i'm not going to trap you in this situation but i cannot get you to see what i know about you until you walk through this trap god i wish i could say that the way that i studied it i tell you like this jesus was walking around saying that he was the son of god and some people believed him and some people didn't but the only way that he could really prove that he was the son of god is if he defeated death itself which means the only way he could prove that he was the son of god would be how he survived this bruised hill moment so i'm gonna walk into this trap because this trap is gonna prove who god said i am this trap is going to prove what god sent me to do i'm not just going to walk into any old trap because he navigated all of the traps up until this moment and he said now is the time for me to prove what i've been knowing about who i am in god all along god waited three years before jesus walked into a trap but on that third year it was time for him to walk through it and he begins to prepare the disciples for the trap that he's walking in because everything is going to change for the disciples they were living in the overflow of jesus anointing they were living in the overflow of his provision but for this next season they weren't going to be able to live in that overflow because he was going to be arrested and counted with the transgressors and so now they have to pick up some things that's why you're here because it's shifting but before it shifts this meeting isn't even about what's happening here it's about what's going to happen when you get home jesus says before everything shifts i'm going to set the disciples up so they can pick up everything they need to pick up for this transitions that's coming i need them to pick up their money bag i need them to pick up their knapsack i need them to go to the debt coach i need them to go to the counseling session i need them to go to the business coach they're coming to denver colorado sarah because they got some things to pick up because when they get finished picking up everything then i can unleash my glory and i won't unleash my glory on women who haven't picked anything up but i can unleash my glory on some women who put some skin in the game i can unleash my glory on some women who understood that i was setting them up before i placed them in position yes sir before they left everything and followed jesus this time they'll need to pick up everything they can ladies while you're here my prayer is that you will pick up everything you can pick up things you don't even think you need god i think i already know how to worship go to the worship session anyway because i need to pick up everything i can he doesn't tell the disciples how they're going to use what they pick up he just tells them to pick up everything they can pick up everything you can pick up everything you can you got to pick up everything you can because there's a shift coming there's a shift coming in the culture if you could just read the headlines you'll see that now is a no better time to be a woman than ever our voices matter more than they have ever mattered before and when somebody passes you the microphone you need to have something to say you got to pick up everything you can when somebody calls you in for the interview you got to know what needs to come out of your mouth you got to pick up everything you can when your husband starts walking through that door we don't have time to go through your daddy issues and get you ready for marriage you got to pick up everything you can it's time for you to pick up everything you can in this season because when the time comes i need to be ready i'm here to pick something up i'm here to pick up something that's going to have me prepared for that next dimension before jesus tells the disciples to pick up everything they can he tells them that i'm going to give you thrones you're going to rule alongside me when it's all said and done in my father's house but the road between where they are now and the kingdom that awaits them depends on what they pick up but the most important thing that comes is not just what they pick up but it's when they get filled up because you can pick up everything you can but if you're not filled up you may squander it and you may build your identity on it so you can pick it up but my job as the head coach i can't teach you about business i'm still learning myself i can't teach you about marketing i can't teach you about a side hustle i can't teach you about wellness chat i'ma eat french fries after this [Applause] but what i can help you do is get filled up so that you can make everything you pick up work to its chief potential you got to get filled up so jesus prepares them by picking things up but he doesn't send them out until they get filled up oh god pick everything up and then he goes to the cross and he says wait for me because he was preparing them for persecution that's why they needed to pick things up you need to have some money you need to have a sword you got to be able to fight you can't just let people run over you anymore there are some things that you need to be able to pick up you got to have somewhere to lay your head you got to have some strategy about what's coming next because you're not going to be walking with me like that anymore somebody's mother prepared them before they even left this earth on how to live without them because you're not going to have me always that's exactly what jesus is doing i felt like that was a word for somebody i know you miss your mother i know that you wish that she was still in this world but i hear god saying that she prepared you before she left so she's still with you every time you get up and fight a giant i don't know who that's for but that came from god jesus prepares the disciples for the persecution that awaits them before the persecution even meets them but he doesn't send them out until his spirit comes if it is okay with you for those of you who weren't here last year we had an incredible moment on saturday night when god just filled the room and he filled the room because our walls were broken down enough to receive from him i love this because before jesus goes to the cross with him being counted amongst the transgressor it means that they're going to see another side of jesus that they haven't had to see before i'm going to be vulnerable i know you've seen me as strong and powerful but you're about to see a different side of jesus you're going to see a bleeding jesus you're going to see a broken jesus you're going to see a jesus that has gone to the cross and i want to prepare you for seeing this different version of me because i want you to be okay if you have to one day bleed to get to glory because it's most important that you get filled up and the only way i can get field is if i'm wounded and the only way i can get field is if i admit that i'm hurting and if it is okay with you i would like to question when is the last time you got filled up when you allow god access to every part of you i believe that if done properly that we can set the tone for this whole two days you can start the music because i'm almost finished we're going to worship i want to create an environment before you start picking up to get filled up to become as vulnerable as jesus must become in this moment so that he can reach the ultimate glory there are women in this room i know you're here and god's been talking to you about trying counseling and talking to you about trying therapy but you're the strong friend and you have it all together and i don't want anyone to see me checking in i don't want anyone to see me walking into the room you're in a safe place babe cause all of us came here for something and if you're gonna really maximize these coaches and maximize what's in this room you're gonna have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to say i'm in the bruised hill society i don't really have my finances all together i know i look like i do but i need to go see the debt coach i gotta work up on how to walk into that room so i gotta get filled up enough to know that his strength is made perfect in my weakness i've got a marriage coach here and a divorce coach you know why because some of us are still broken from that divorce and i don't want anyone to know that i'm really bleeding on the inside i want everyone to think that we're here to have a good time but the truth is that this moment will only be what it's supposed to be if you don't mind becoming vulnerable the way jesus is vulnerable in this moment jesus says to his disciples i'm about to join the bruised hill society i'm going to volunteer to have my heel bruised i'm going to volunteer to walk into something that looks like it could be tricky and shaky but because my destiny is connected to it i will no longer avoid it any longer i don't know who you are but god wants you to stop avoiding that thing that requires your vulnerability because you're avoiding your glory you're avoiding your purpose and we all came here and why i'm so intentional about trying to create sisterhood is because i want your healing to be my healing because your wind can be my win and if you could have the courage to take off the mask and then take off the tough skin and to take off that part of you that needs to have it all together and to find your brokenness to find that area where you need god to touch you then i believe the windows of heaven will open up over all of us because of your yes if you don't believe me let my life be a living testimony to you that i said yes but the windows of heaven opened up over all of us one yes touched millions of people i wonder what we could do if everyone in the room said yes if everyone in the room became so vulnerable that they said you know what god i got a limp that i'm walking with i got a hill that has been bruised i'm in the bruised hill society and i want to be filled up so that i can understand the power that exists in this hill there was power in jesus's bruised heel moment and i believe that there is power in yours and i know that i am on assignment sent by god to awaken every woman to the power that god has placed down on the inside of her and i take my job seriously because i talked to you the way i needed someone to talk to me when i didn't believe that there was anything waiting for me on the other side of my bruised heel and i take my assignment seriously because i recognize that if i don't speak it you may never hear it the way that you understand it and i take my assignment seriously because i believe that if i can get the enemy to lose his grasp off of your mind and off of your heart and off of your spirit then god would pour out his spirit on all flesh and you would be amongst the ones who receive his spirit and i don't know if you've seen it lately but there's a war going on out there and i need an army of women who would hold down their corner of the earth all it takes is one woman in south africa all it takes is one woman from the dmv all it takes is one woman from the uk all it takes is one woman from the atl but i'm crazy enough to believe we may have one or two more women who are representing their cities and representing their households i did not just come here for me i came here to hold down my corner of the bruce hill society i didn't just come here so that i can make it to the next dimension i came to hold down my corner of charlotte north carolina i wish i had some people in this room who came here to hold down their corner of the earth because in about 10 seconds we're going to worship until hell gets nervous in about 10 seconds we're going to ask god to fill up this room we're going to ask god to fill up this vessel i came to represent my mother i came to represent my family i came to represent the next generation i'm here representing my school i'm here because i'm saying yes for all of us you can't have us any longer if you need to be filled again in a fresh way listen specifically you don't need to be filled for strength you already know how to be stronger i need to be filled so that i can become vulnerable i need to be filled so that i can be broken open i want you to meet me at the altar as you come to this altar somebody's coming to the altar and that's requiring vulnerability i don't usually respond to altar calls yes it's true that you can receive the same prayer wherever you're sitting or standing but if we're going to operate from the place of our vulnerability we have to walk out of our comfort zone get as close to the altar as you can i know you're in the balcony get as close as you can as long as you move out of that place that you're standing in that's all that matters because you coming forward is a sign that i'm stepping into something different i'm stepping into a new way of being i'm stepping into the vulnerability i need for the transformation connected to my name there are some transformations that cannot occur unless there is vulnerability in the mix so i'm here i'm here because god i need help receiving i need help believing god i want to believe so bad that it shuts down these negative thoughts god i wanna i wanna believe so bad after that heartbreak i wanna believe so bad after that miscarriage but believing costs me something believing feels like i'm setting myself up for failure believing feels like i'm walking into a trap and i can't walk into another trap but i hear god saying i'ma coach you through this one that's why you got to get filled up with my spirit because i'm a coach you through this one last time you tried to do it with your own strength and your own might and your own power this time none of that is going to work you're gonna have to do it by the spirit you're gonna have to let me fill you up you're gonna have to let me bring people in your life you're gonna have to let me take people out of your life you're gonna have to let me make you go places by yourself you're gonna have to bury a few things along the way that's okay baby cry you're supposed to cry that thing meant something to you but when you get finished wiping those tears put your shoes back on baby cause you're a part of a society of women who will not leave you behind you were part of a society of women who made a promise with god [Music] that we'll put skin in the game [Music] putting skin in the game means i got to be vulnerable but i can handle that i want you to start in your own way just worshiping praying just receiving to speak from that place of brokenness god right there god touch right there it's okay you can let it go it's okay you can cry for real we only got 48 hours but 48 hours is more than enough time for god to radically change your life 48 hours is slight
