"Still the One" - Sarah Jakes Roberts

[Music] [Music] but I've been studying all day I have a word from the Lord so we're going to start in second samuel chapter seven verse eight my subject for those of you who like to take notes is still the one still the one and my text begins and it says now therefore thus shall you say to my servant david so this is God speaking to the Prophet Nathan and he wants Nathan to deliver a message to David and this is the message thus says the Lord of Hosts I took you from the sheepfold from following the Sheep to be ruler over my people over Israel and I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you and have made you a great name like the name of the great men who are on the earth moreover that's I'm not finished yet that's just what I've done up until this point but I still have some more that I want to do with you I will appoint a place for my people Israel and we'll plant them that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore as previously since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel and have caused you to rest from all your enemies also the Lord tells you that he will make you a house so I'm not just going to bless the people around you but because you are the one who have appointed to lead those people there's something that I'm going to do for you too when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your father's I will set up yours seed after you that's generational blessing that's everything that comes up after you was going to be blessed as a result of what I'm doing here in this moment who will come from your body and I will establish his kingdom he shall build a house for my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever I will be his father and he shall be my son if he commits iniquity I will chasten him that means that I'm not just gonna give it to any and everyone if someone does wrong I'm gonna still I'm still gonna chasing them in the rod of men and with the blows of the sons and then but my mercy even though they may stray away but my mercy is still gonna be with them somebody's living off of their grandmothers mercy right now in this moment you thought it was just you but somebody went ahead of you but my mercy shall not depart from him as I took it from Saul whom I removed from before you and your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you your throne shall be established for forever according to all these words and according to all this vision so Nathan spoke to David then King David went in and sat before the Lord and he said Who am I Oh Lord God and what is my house that you have brought me this far god it is so evident that your glory is already in this place and I desire to do nothing but add to what you've already decided to do in this room and so God as we submit this time over to you I ask that you were to remove any walls any thoughts any distractions that keep us from receiving this word and in exchange that you would open up our heart our spirit our soul that there would be literally nothing off-limits because when your glory hits the room we wanted to hit every part of us and so God we make room for you today in this place and I asked for myself that I would not be nervous that I would not be intimidated that I would not be afraid but I would be one with you in this moment and from that place that we may serve your people as those who have come before us in such a mighty way in Jesus name Amen so I don't think that there is any story in the Bible that has transcended the realm of religiosity like David you don't have to have been raised in church or gone to Sunday School every Sunday to know the story of David and Goliath it's a universal story that we all kind of draw upon whether we are believers or not and I think one of the reasons why we love the story of David and Goliath is because just everyone loves an underdog story and there's something that inspires us all about this notion that this little boy with just a few stones and a slingshot took down a giant and his story has been told over and over again in different industries in different capacities but I don't think that we have spent a lot of time really focusing on how David was an underdog for a great deal of his life it was not just that moment but he was an underdog time after time again and yet at this moment in this text he is struck with the reality that he's not exactly an underdog anymore which is what we're all hoping for in some capacity like we start off and we're like all excited that we're the underdog might count me out if you want to I'm coming for you but there does come a point in our life where we reach a certain level of achievement or a certain level of success within our spheres and within our communities that we don't exactly look like the under dog anymore yet so much of our identity is tied in to the fact that we have been the underdog and so part of what made David the underdog is this fight that he got in and I think that David became addicted to being the underdog because he tasted victory I don't know if you're like me like I don't like like to fight I like to win you know it's the difference I don't want to fight I'm not talking physical fighting I've been delivered come on somebody but I mean little fights like a small business owner or being the only person in the room going after a particular job there's something about having victory once you've been the underdog that makes you addicted to the fight because you recognize that no matter what I had to go through to get to that victory it was all worth it in the end I don't mind being the underdog because I got to taste a little victory and we all become addicted to fights you cannot tell me that if you are in this city and in this culture with a purpose on your life that there is not a side of you that realizes I am an underdog but I'm not counting myself out I feel like I can take it on so on one side I realize I'm an underdog but on the other side I actually believe that I'm the one for the job so I'm addicted to the fight and I loved how God used David in this moment with Goliath to really set the stage for his entire career as king in his entire life as his servant he used this moment when he was the underdog to give him a taste for victory and not only did it give him a taste for victory but it also gave those he was called to a taste for his anointing there was something about the way he handled his fight that inspired the other people around him and made him a marker in their minds that's that's the boy who had the slingshot who took the Giant out there's certain ways that we deal with certain fights that leave a lasting impression on the people around us it's God's Way of saying that you inspired someone with the way that you overcame that fight your anointing you make their baby leap there's something about the way that you handled your fight I gotta say that the way I see it because sometimes we get so enthralled with the fact that we are in a fight that we don't recognize how we are inspiring others in the process and we have to recognize that we are inspiring them in the process because there is an anointing attached to those who can inspire others to break out of their comfort zones that's an anointing that's an anointing I know you're the strong friend I know everyone's always calling on you and wanting to know how you did it and I know it can be frustrating but the reality is they're not just pulling on you they're trying to figure out what that anointing is that made you survive when everyone else lost their mind how did you get past that divorce how did you deal with the heartbreak how did you deal with coming to this city and not knowing who you were there's something about you that has attracted others to you because of the way you handled your fight Jesus was in a fight when he came to earth but there was something about the way that he fought death back there was something about the way that he fought sickness that attracted the multitudes in him where people started saying I like the way that he handles that I'm attracted to the anointing that was produced in a fight your anointing doesn't just come you don't just wake up one morning anointed I know chap I woke up like this yeah it takes experiencing a few fights to get anointed it takes surviving a few things and still having your joy that makes you anointed that's not just lucky not just a coincidence but at some point you start realizing that the fact that I have defied all of the odds is not just because I did everything the right way because I didn't it's not because I knew the right people because I didn't and you start thinking to yourself I must be anointed for this lane that I am everyone else had to pack up and go home but I'm still here there must be an anointing attached to why I'm here everyone else lost their job but I'm still here there must be a reason this is producing in a pointing down on the inside of me and when you stop asking God to pull you out of the fight but instead show you the anointing that's being produced from the fight you stay in the fight a little bit longer I get a little excited when I'm in a fight because it makes me realize imma be a little more anointed after this how do I know because when I look back over my life and the other fights that I have been in I should have lost my mind I should have given up on love but instead it produced an anointing down on the inside of me and so now I'm still here standing here because the fight pulled something out of me pull something out of me it shifted things for me it changed who I was then on the inside of me it changed the way I qualified my friendships it changed the way I applied for jobs I I started realizing that I was anointed because I was in a fight and so when we find David in the text he's looking for another fight because the only thing about liking the fight is that sometimes you look for a fight for no reason you know things are little too calm like all of my bills are paid I liked it better when I was worried all of my friends are stable I need to I feel like I need a fight I feel like I need to conquer something I feel a little lazy I mean I know I conquered something in the past and right now I'm living off of what I conquered in the past but I just feel like I need a fight because when you are a fighter sometimes the only way you are validated in your identity is if you are in a fight I'm just wondering if that's healthy yall already know I should have came and asked y'all to speak okay it's not always healthy to be looking for a fight god help me because when you're always looking for a fight it means that you're always busy you're always in this beastmode mindset you're always waiting for someone to count you out you're always waiting for an opportunity that looks bigger than you and the only thing about that is that you never get an opportunity to reset and take inventory of the Giants that are behind you because you are so addicted to being the underdog that you don't realize that you're not really the underdog anymore even though you are because I've seen guys show up and if I'm always looking for a fight and looking for the next time for God to show up then I never get a chance to sit down and simply say God look at my life now God on a Thursday night in Los Angeles at almost nine o'clock in the evening I couldn't wait to get in your presence God look at where you brought me from now I thought I would never live again without that person and nowadays go by and I hardly even think about it God look so you have to take a moment and stop fighting long enough to really give God a good praise like a really good you gotta praise God from the place of being the underdog because if the underdog could look at your life now the underdog would say boy I can't believe you made it if the underdog could look at your life now the underdog would say I can't believe that you finally got your mind back I can't believe that you're no longer addicted if you looked at your life now I'm sorry no music for just a minute I just want to hear the sound of praise and worship going forth not that cute ten-second praise not that 15-second praise but the kind of praise that says I don't have nothing to fight I just have a praise to give I'm not asking you for anything I just want to say thank you for what you've already done don't need another contract and I don't need another deal I just want to take a moment [Applause] you did this I didn't do this to nobody to this for me nobody handed me nothing that you didn't authorize nobody gave me anything that you didn't already sign in heaven you are the great I am I wish I had some people in this place who understood that the God they serve to win ahead of them and made the crooked path straight you want people out of my life that would have killed me if I just say connected with them gods you did that it wasn't an argument it was anointed to separate us so that I could move forward in the direction of my destiny [Applause] from here from here no from here from here from the depths of my being God I just want to take a moment I don't care if she says another word but I realized that I can't go any further in this year waiting for another fight waiting for another opportunity until I take a moment to thank you for the enemies that are already behind me your glory has already been in my life your oil has already produced something down on the inside of me you're still the one you're still the one you're still the one you're still the one you're still the one you're still the one I want you still the one I long for it's not a job it's not a checkers you God it's you you're the only one that I need you're the only one who can help me you're the only one who can pull me out of this fair you're still the one you're still the one you're still the one it wasn't the relationship it was June and it is important that we see him properly and not that we become so consumed with what we need from him that we don't take a moment to worship Him from the place that produced the blessings that were currently standing in because we can become so impressed with ourselves and so enthralled by the pursuit of purpose and next in progress that we aren't still enough to see that he's still the one and most importantly that you're still the one when God addresses David he doesn't address David the king he addresses David the shepherd God says to David through Nathan that I know you're King now and I know that you've had several victories under your belt but in my eyes when I see you I still see the shepherd and I still see the shepherd because that's how far your ways are from my ways and your thoughts are from my thoughts that when I look at you I still see the shepherd and so we have this juxtaposition of David the invisible Shepherd this is who David was before he became king I know you're all Bible scholars but for those of us who missed a few Sundays Davis started off with shepherd boy and he was the underdog of his family the one that no one really dealt with as a matter of fact when a prophet came today that's father and acts to see all of his sons he left they bid in the field because he didn't think that David was actually fully one of his sons that's another story for another day but he was this underdog but somehow this invisible Shepherd has now become an invincible King there's this straddling of the fence if you will on one hand God knows where I came from everyone else sees me as strong everyone else sees me as invincible everyone else sees me as the man who can slay ten thousand and that is true that is a part of my identity I can't deny it but there is a part of my identity that still resonates with being the invisible Shepherd and so when God sends a word to David he does not send it to the king I don't send it to what man is impressed by I don't send it to your achievements and your accolades I'm sending a word to the invisible Shepherd when God sends you a word the word is not just for who you are presently but you should take that word and feed it to the brokenness that you used to have because there's something about taking that word god help me there's something about taking the word that is for you now and feeding it to the person who you used to be that tells the person who you used to be that I told you all things were going to work together for your good there's some times I tell myself and worship when I'm lifting my hands to not just worship as like you know Sarah Jake's Roberts who has this family and has this ministry but to worship from the brokenness of the 13 year old girl who didn't even know that she would ever know God to worship from the place of the presence of God in here to worship from the place when you were 13 years old and pregnant and really felt like an underdog because she needs that worship to I can't become so this sensed from my brokenness that I don't bring my brokenness into wholeness because there's a part of me that is still hurt too and unless I bring her into worship and I allow her to continue to live in her brokenness and so I thought it was crazy that God just doesn't speak to David as king but he speaks to David the shepherd boy because I realized that both of you are still down in there but I wonder if you realize that both of you are still down in there and if God doesn't send a word that speaks to all of you then a part of you was robbed and it is on us to make way for God to speak to every part of us because just as God is still the one you're still the one - I'm still the one who needs God you have to force yourself to need God when you don't need God I know y'all too religious now I wake up every morning I need the Lord I don't know what you talking about I wake up I think I'm for the activity of my limbs come on somebody wear my old school church people at our challenge as we continue to pursue what God has for us is to live in such a way that we force even our success and our progress and achievements to still need God I still need them the way I needed him when I was 13 years old and sometimes I have to remind myself that because everything I got going starts working and I feel like my life is in my hand and I have some decisions to make and I have connections to Megan so I have to remind myself in the midst of concocting my own life that this is not even your life to concoct that this thing started with God and it's going to end with God no no no no he's still the one in this thing he's still the one don't forget it I know you got plans and I know they're working out and I know things are going exactly the way that you want to but every now and then take a minute and back up off of your life and say God is this really what you want me to do and God have I taken a moment to follow on my face the way that I did when I was broken drunk and lost out of my mind because you're still the one to me like that and I want to make room for you now when I don't need you the way that I did when I was dying to have a touch from you that's really that's really that's really gonna have to be our new normal is to invite God into the places where we think we have it under control so that we can see what greatness really looks like because what if I told you you're only doing okay if you're doing it your way that God can literally come in and do exceedingly and abundantly but he can't do it and you do it at the same time so every now and then you gotta back away from the contract that looks good and you got to back away from the friendships that feel good and you gotta say god is this you or is this me because at the end of the day you're still the one and I'm still the one we've been in this thing for far too long [Applause] god I pray that you would awaken a hunger down on the inside of me and that you would awaken a hunger not for things or materialistic things but that you would awaken the kind of hunger I had when I didn't know whether or not I was gonna make it the kind of hunger that drove me into church the kind of hunger that drove me down to my knees I need that kind of hunger in my life I'm not asking for anything I'm not asking for any guidance on the deal I'm just asking for you to help me connect with you the way that I connected with you when I really thought I needed you but I wouldn't just have free time but my free time would be God time well you could pour into me and help me see who I am now and help me see what's next for me now because David was so busy planning his next attack and planning his next fight that he didn't even get to see what God saw in him so God forced him into stillness God has been forcing somebody in this room into stillness I'm used to things moving a little bit differently than they moved now so much so that I'm looking for a fight I'm looking for something to do I'm looking to hustle up on something but God has forced me into a still moment so as much as this text is about God being still the one that's also about David stilling the one who got anointed in the first place because the one who got anointed in the first place starts producing from that anointing and now the identity is about what he is producing and what he can achieve and God says I know you have a vision and I know you have a plan that you think is gonna bless me and honor me but I need you to be steel for a minute so that I can show you what I'm doing not so that you can tell me what you're doing oh that wasn't listen that was in somebody's neighborhood I know that was I know a word when I hear a word thanks sometimes our time with God is about us telling God what we're doing just so you know God I'm working on this song and if you would just bless it just so you know God I'm about to start this business just so you know God I just want to fill you in on what I got going but he says David still still still that one down on the inside of you that i anointed so that I can speak a word to that person I want to speak a word about what I've called you to do because when I first anointed you as king all you had was the anointing as king but now that you have moved into this dimension of King now I want to show you the generational legacy attached to you it would help if I told you in 2nd Samuel 7 David is planning to build a temple for God and God says you can't build a temple for me I can't even be housed in the temple I did not have a temple when I anointed you I did not have a temple when I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt I do not need a temple I am God nothing can contain me but let me tell you what I am building down on the inside of you because you think you're going to build something for me but I have plans to build you and I feel like and I feel this like prophetically that tonight we get to make a decision that we are either going to build something for God or we're going to allow God to build us and we're going to trust in the process of him building us that everything that needs to bill will be built that's actually like a really good because I didn't have that so I need God to help me break this thing down the way that he wants somebody to get it and if only one person gets it that's fine with me but I need you to be still long enough and stop trying to build something for me because you can still be kingdom and still be distracted you can still be concocting all of these plans on how you're gonna do it for God and I'm gonna do it like this and I'm gonna do it like that and God hasn't even told you what he's gonna do in your life of the a you cannot qualify what you were going to do for God without God you need God to build you up before you build anything else and David has reached a threshold I feel the presence of God in this place where God says to him you cannot go any further than this until I show you the plans that I have for you so that you can build everything according to the plan that I've given you don't let your success make you feel like you're ready to just kind of keep going on without me I'm not finished building you I'm not finished blessing you yes you still have some fights yes you still have some things to conquer but I'm not finished with you and so I don't want to talk to the king because the king wants to be lord I want to talk to this shepherd boy who just wants to be anointed I want to talk to this shepherd boy who didn't mind whether or not anyone looked at him or didn't look at him are there any shepherd boys in this room tonight who have decided that I don't care what level of success I have reached I am still the one who will stop everything to hear a word from God I am still the one who will put everything on pause and not touch it and not ingested and not naked and not created because I need God I need God like I needed him when I was a shepherd boy I need God like I needed him when I was pregnant at 13 years old I'm still the one who needs you God I'm still the one who wants to set your throne on high in my life I'm still the one I'm still the one I'm still the one I'm still the one I'm still the one outside of my bank account it's still me outside of this success is still me excited the relationship is still me I'm still I gotta stay connected to that version of me cuz that's the version of me that got anointed that's the version of me that you appointed that's the version of you that helped me slay that giant that's the one I need to be and yes I can still be king in a shepherd as a matter of fact the reason why I am king is because I learned how to be an invisible Shepherd what made me an invincible King is the fact that I know how to be an invisible Shepherd I knew how to serve when no one was looking I knew how to worship without any music I knew how to lift my hands without a worship leader I'm still the one I'm still the one down on the inside of me and how did I become the one life pushed me and almost broke me until I finally surrendered to being the one who was desperate for God and there are people in this room and you have not yet reached that point where you are so desperate for God and that's okay this is not a judgement zone we don't do it like that here but there are some of us who know what it's like to finally get to that breaking point where we feel like everything I tried to do with my own hands failed everything I ever tried to do to fix what I broke failed and I finally surrender to the fact that I don't have it all together and I don't know what to do anymore and so I'm saying God if there is a God Jesus if you are real I want you to try and touch me like never before and I'm not really sure if I believe in this religion thing and I'm not really sure who I'm gonna be when it's all said and done I don't know if I'm ready to walk away I don't know if I'm ready to break this addiction but what I do know for sure is I'm tired of living the way I've been living and so while everyone else is praising because they know what it's like to be desperate for God there's some of us here who are afraid to break down in that manner because I don't want to see my whole life fall apart there was something about what David said and you guys can stay up but there's something that David said I wasn't joking that time David said um Who am I Oh Lord God and what is my house that you have brought this brought me this far this gives us insight that David realized that no matter how much he had achieved there was a part of him that realized that he was still a shepherd boy and I believe that God wants to take somebody's testimony in this room tonight somebody's experiences and reveal to them that you too can be brought from a mighty long way that you too can be one of the people who become so desperate for God's plan and God's will and God's desires for your life that you don't want anything unless he's breathing on it and if I may just for a moment tell you right now that I don't care what you've done or who you've done it with and neither does God and if I may go so far to say that you are not here by coincidence and that this word has been burning down on my soul since early this morning can I take it so seriously because I recognize that this is a defining moment in someone's life what I know for sure is that God is saying that it is time for me to reconcile your account it's time for me to show you why you had to have all of those withdrawals and why you had to have all of those overdrafts I it's time for me to show you why you had to go through what you went through but all I need is somebody to open up the door and knock here I stand at the door and knock If any man would let me in is there anybody in this room who has tired of living their life the way that they have been living in and if there is someone who could help testify with me for a minute because they recognize that it wasn't about me being perfect and it wasn't about me doing everything the right way but it was the way that I cried out to God in the middle of my mess it was the way that I gave up on everyone else then finally said god I'm putting all my money on you I'm putting all of my dreams on you I'm putting all of my desire on you and that's when strongholds were broken and that's when chains were broken off of my life and that's when demons started trembling and that's when I got authority to walk into rooms and not be afraid any longer because I recognized I wasn't walking in the room alone any longer and I feel like God is giving out anointing in this place and he's giving out a fresh new authority in this place and he's gonna give it to whoever is open and willing to say it's me is me Oh Lord it is me I'm still the one who needs a breakthrough time in my soul I'm still the one who wants the help he'll know that you have no I'm still the one who wants to help wants to help my community I'm still the one who wants to see my family be change I'm still the one who wants to see the industry change I'm still the one I'm still the one my hopes got a little bit sick and my fears may have got the best of me but God sent a word on a Thursday night that reminded me of who I was so I'm getting back in position because when I get back in position I get the generations coming back in position as well so that no devil inhale can never prevail against what God is doing God I want to be a general in your kingdom god I want to be a commander god I wanna do something this art that nobody can do for me I'm selling one for the job [Applause] and before I can pick up the mantle assigned to my men and it is a mantle assigned to your name and we don't care if you ever get sick of hearing it we're going to tell you time after time again your life is not coincidence and nor is it by accident you are in this earth for a reason you have a purpose that only you can fulfill God was not born in heaven and just decided to send you down here for entertainment God sent you down here with an assignment attached to your name and that's why you have had stronghold after stronghold because something has been trying to keep you from unleashing that on the earth because hail knows and depression knows and suicide knows but if they unleash that gift in the earth that they're not going to save themselves but they're gonna help everything connected to them cocaine nosing Hey alcohol No Donald is [Music] [Applause] [Music] and so I want to give you a chance to lay some things that Dalton I want to give you a chance to clear the path so that glory can manifest in every area of your life I want to give everybody a chance who's in this room and haven't had their reckoning moment because I was too afraid and I had too much pride or I was worried of how my life would be shaking up I want to give everyone a moment who doesn't care what happens I don't care what friendships are losing the process I don't care what relationships are broken in the process I don't care what time I lose in the process the only thing I care about is being in alignment with that shepherd boy who got anointed the only thing I care about is how I'm going to take this life and use it for your glory I wanna have a real encounter in this place if you're not at this altar I need your worship if you're not at this altar I need your anointing I need you to help me bombard heaven when two or three of us are gathered in his name he'll show up on our behalf I need you to bombard heaven like this is your sister at the altar I need you to bombard heaven like this is your brother being safe because this might be the person that actually saves your community this might be the person that gives you a job in the industry you don't know what God is gonna do on the other side of this thing so I dare you to start bombarding heaven on their behalf if you're at this altar praise them the best way you can it doesn't have to be cute it doesn't have to be churchy it just has to be real for you [Music] [Music] nobody's ever told you I'm sorry you had to go through what you went through I'm sorry you had to experience what you experienced I know some things maybe you got yourself in some things other people did for you I'm sorry nevertheless I'm sorry you didn't always see your value I'm sorry you didn't always feel God's love towards you I'm sorry that no one protected you if I can stand in behalf on behalf of those people who hurt you I just want you to know that I'm sorry that life made you feel it that wall I'm sorry that that brokenness is down on the inside of you I'm sorry you didn't have a mentor or somebody who went ahead of you but I'm telling you right now that it doesn't matter what you didn't have all that matters is what you're willing to lay hold of God is no respecter of person he doesn't just give anointing to the people who did things the right way but he gives anointing to those of us who are willing to humble ourselves and say God it's not because I'm so great and it's not because I'm so wonderful I just want to be used and God has need of you because there are people in this world who only you can reach and there are some people who will never believe me but they will trust you because you've walked in their shoes and you know how challenging it is to pick yourself up again without anyone else holding out a hand so first I wanted to apologise for any hurt that you've experienced I want to give you permission to live in that place for just a moment because I have found that our brokenness is where our anointing comes from and if we don't live in that place for just for just a moment then we may not receive the fullness of our anointing we may end up being good people and great friends but what if we end up not being as anointed because we never wanted to go back to that place again and what I want to show you is that as you go back to that place that there is ministry that that place still needs that place still needs to know that God is the great I am that place still needs to know that you're gonna make it to the other side that place needs to know that I know you were hurting and you were broken but we made it we're here I know we met I know we struggled I know we had some down paws but we made it to the other side and no we haven't arrived yet but thank God we're not where we used to be we found some real friends we found a real church we found this surrogate father we found a surrogate mother I didn't get it from where I wanted it but God made it up somebody showed up one that little shepherd boy got on the inside of me to know you're gonna be King one day you're gonna make it to the other side one day you're gonna [Music] and not only will it be you but God tells David that your seed gonna bless your seed you had to carry the weight for everyone else but I'm gonna bless your seed because when I break that shame off of you and when I break that depression off of you it's going to create a manual and whenever anybody in your family starts going through that thing you're going to be able to hand them a manual that says look how I went through that too and I got some notes so that you can overcome I got some help so that you can come out on the other side I know about suicidal thoughts I've been there too I know about depression I've been there too [Applause] [Music] I just have to do one more altar call cuz I want to make sure everyone who's down here needs to be down here and I don't want any pride and I don't want any ego standing in the way because that's not good for any of us but it is in surrender when we walk out of our comfort zone when we walk out of our pride that guy says I can stand up in that I can't stand up in your ego I can't stand up in your pride but in your humility and your brokenness and your weakness that's when my strength is made perfect I'm gonna pray I see you coming I see you coming I see you coming but most importantly God sees you coming most importantly God knew you were gonna be in the room and he made this word just for you I see you come and I see you coming I know if there's a little awkward but look you're not here by yourself I know this is a little new for you and you might feel a little strange but that's okay you're not by yourself it's an army of us waiting on you our army just got the kingdom just got stronger I reached just now wider we just had a little more time the fight tournaments with all you got an addiction we got that covered oh we got that I wish I had some kid everybody [Music] father you know father you know everything that has kept them from surrendering father you know every fear you know every thought you know every insecurity that has kept them from surrendering God you know every demon that has haunted them you know every devil that has chased them down you know every generational curse that they've had to deal with God you know every single thing that has kept us from falling into the anointing that you have assigned for us but on this evening on Thursday night god we decided to surrender to you like never before God those of us who are standing at this altar and all of us who are in this room are bombarding heaven for everything that has our name on it and God as we bombard heaven on behalf of our anointing I ask that you would send the Spirit of God to every person represented at this altar spirit of the Living God fall fresh in this place Satan I rebuke you depression looky same attribute you were not the one for the job because I know what it's like to be bound in shame and that no one is like to be loosed from shame so I am part of pointing to bring shame in this place I imparted noising for me in this place st. Anne Avenue Q hey you got to go sample you have no place here I speak Liberty like never before a sweet victory like never before get them our back a lot of Jesus offer every fear the bladder disease that's all this is a drive for you and you alone [Music] got fall fresh in this place wherever there is an open heart god make room for your glory God move away the memories God move away the fear God move away the shame and make room for your glory to appear make room for wisdom to appear make room for strategy to appear insecurities you gotta go negativity you can't have it any longer I speak power in the name of Jesus the same power that took a little shepherd boy thousands upon thousands of years ago and made him King so that he could produce the kingdom Kings that kind of strategy of taking the mess and turning it into a ministry that's the kind of strategy that you provide when you walk into a room so God wherever there is a mess as a matter of fact the greater the mass the greater the ministry the greater the brokenness the greater the anointing crackle your open in this room crack pound we're open in this room crack Authority openness do it faster [Music] and as we move into the direction of our destiny help us to establish a new rhythm that we would take a moment to back away from everything that we have been doing so that we can see what you have called us to do God we lay it all at the altar there is nothing off-limits God we will only pick up what you say you have for us and we will do it with confidence and with authority and with anointing God and whenever those thoughts dare to come back into their mind whenever those thoughts try to tell them that what they felt in this moment was them it may be not real God I hope that you would remind them that they have the authority to speak back to that voice and say that I bind you and I rebuke you you no longer have power in my mind or in my heart I am moving away from Who I used to be and I am stepping into who God has called me to GB god I declare a new identity over these your sons and daughters may they walk in it with boldness and authority repeat after me Heavenly Father I hurt you I felt you in that place that only you and I know about thank you for seeing me for hearing me and for hugging me on this night god I want to walk in a new power and a new identity so help me to be still long enough to see myself the way that you see me I welcome you and your power and your spirit into my life take control nothing is off-limits thank you for Jesus thank you for making him who had no sin all of mine all of my weakness all of my brokenness all of my limitations you placed in his body and nailed it to the cross and when he was raised free and victorious I was raised to I'm resurrected with power and authority no fear no shame and no hell can stop me any longer I thank you for that I receive it I proclaim it over my life in Jesus name Amen can you celebrate with me can you celebrate the great I am with can we just take a moment where my new from my new play [Music] if you heard from God tonight me if you're leaving this place different than when you came in can you just give God some praise and some glory [Applause] [Music]
