TD Jakes - Believe

your belief is counted unto you as righteousness it will make the difference between where you fell short and what I call you to be the last mile of the way is filled in simply by faith that's a really good deal he said I'll mark your account up as if you were righteous even though you're not righteous just because you believe me abraham believed God the Bible said that it was counted unto Him as righteousness just because he believed God that's why you have to be careful about judging people because you see what they did but you don't know what they believe and you don't know how God wrote it down in the books and sometimes the one who is doing the judging might not be on the books as good as the one you are judging because God counted that believes as righteousness this is the condemnation the condemnation that is coming to the world that men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil what God is concerned about in us is the fact that we do not believe for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him shall not perish but have everlasting life it's so simple we miss it all the time we give him works we give him duties we'd be giving all kinds of sacrifices we wear long dresses we got big juices on our car big crosses around your neck about to break your neck down trying to carry across the Bible bigger than a two-year-old baby walking around trying to be spiritual walking around in the ball with a family Bible trying to be spiritual none of that is going to count as much as simply taking God at its word believing you said about you walking in truth and in clarity and having peace of mind somebody who I believe the enemy does everything he can to turn out your belief system to destroy your belief system if you open up a business if you open up a company one of the things you have this vision purpose and goals and you write them down so all of your staff and all your team and all your customers can know this is who I am I am defined by my vision my purpose and my goals that's in my playbook that's my Creed that's what I believe as a company as an institution and then we will forget several years ago I toured Nike and if you ever get a chance to go up there toward Nike it's absolutely amazing I could not find an employee and all of like he that wasn't quick to tell me who they were they've ever talked about who they work individually they talked about who they were corporately they knew their history they knew they bet their background they knew who they were as a company a philosophy had so permeated the organization that even the janitors would stop and tell you the philosophy of Nike you see the reason that's important if you know who you are then you know who you are not if you don't know who you are somebody can ascribe any identity only you and you will or friend or whatever they want you to be and that's what has happened with the whole lot of us some of us have been ten or twelve different people depending upon who we were with because we don't know who we are we become whoever they want us to be and then when they leave us we are confused because we have no real understanding of who we are you said well I thought you were talking about believing in God I'm talking about believing God but I'm also talking about believing in yourself Paul says I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me before he brings up Christ he brings up him we shall a said he believes in God that we overlook the fact that he believes in himself I can do all things somebody said I can do all things oh my god just just I'm right there it said again I can do all things wouldn't it be amazing if you believe that wouldn't you sleep good tonight if you believe that wouldn't you walk around with your head up if your back straight if you believe that said again I can do all things you would be intimidated by anybody anywhere at any time if you just believe that said again I can do all things can you imagine how different your job interview would go if you really believed and what did they say what do you do I can do imagine if you were top that from the time you were born into the world the first thing your mama told you when they spike John the behind is don't worry about it baby you can't do all things we quote it but we don't believe it not like we should not like we need to not like we need to for the level of devil we fight one of the great privileges of my life is an opportunity one of the great privileges is opportunity to interact with people that I've seen from afar off I get to see up close I have met very few incredibly successful people who were not positive about themselves confident in themselves and I have met none of them who were any more gifted than you none of them none of them are any more gifted than you in fact in many cases they are less gifted less talented less skill they don't have more than you they think differently than you people are blessed because they have more life is an equal opportunity experience you come here with two eyes and two legs and two ears and a nose and a mouth and a couple of hands boom you're here what you do with what God gave you is left up to you the guy sitting beside you has no more than you do he might have done more with what he had but he didn't get any more than you in fact when it comes to faith the Bible says God has dealt to every man the measure of faith so away with these superheroes in the church who claim to have more faith than everybody else God have dealt to every man the manager of faith it would not be right for salvation to be based on belief and then God not give me enough beliefs to be saved we had the same stuff but we don't give to the same results I want to talk this morning about a man that was meant to shake the nation's a man that was meant to sit with Kings a land that was meant to leave millions of people a man that was meant to handle billions of dollars a man that was meant to be revered amongst all other men but at the time we meet him in this text he is a runaway criminal hiding in the woods in the dark trembling like a child how could you have such a great destiny and be in such a horrific situation I'm talking about Moses I want you to understand that the predicament that you are in right now does not define your destiny they don't believe nothing let me try y'all over here the predicament that you are in right now does not define your destiny they don't a little bit better I will try to sense it over here the predicament that you are in right now does not define your destiny you ought to look at every negative situation in your house and say you're a liar I don't believe [Applause] I hate to tell you this you might not want me to be a pastor here anymore but I talked to things with nobody who looking at talk to things when I'm not in the corner I'd talk to things and have no ears I talk to objects that cannot respond and like one day I walked in my house the one with the lights off and the gas off the one that they repossess the car from I walked in the house and I looked at the house and I said house you are liar you lied on me I'm better than this I knew that me and the house was in a disagreement and one of us had to be a liar and I decided it what me so I called the house which one of us was lying you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free you ought to lay hands on that tumor and call it a liar you are a liar you're a liar in the name of Jesus whose report do you believe I will believe the report of the Lord every voice that said you'll never be nothing you gotta call it out you're alive every time some whispers in your ear and since you can't make it through this you can't take this you're gonna have a nervous breakdown you're gonna lose your mind you're gonna die like your mama dear you don't get like Anatomy you gotta talk back to those larger [Applause] touch your neighbor tell them I'm calling outliers this morning sickness is a liar failure is a liar depression is a liar suicide is a liar despair is a liar stranger heaviness R'lyeh disease you're a liar can't learn you're a liar can't breathe you're a liar can't make it you're a liar can't take it [Applause] the Bible said let God be true and every man alaya it was early in my pastor at a young lady with a very strong spirit and a belligerent attitude that had grown to be a belligerent attitude toward meto her little posse and my church said she was my intercessor on the surface that sounds nice but she said I'm his intercessor and if I don't pray for him he can't preach [Applause] while I was a young pastor I didn't have much suave or anything like that but through a series of events and disfellowshipped and she said you'll never be able to preach without leave and I said 25 years later I'm still standing here [Applause] [Music] I didn't diss fellowship her because of what she said it was some other things that happened but in her absence she thought she would shut me down how many people have walked out of your life and thought that their absence would shut you down gentlemen holla well I'll feel a shout about to take over this way it sounded like somebody else in here is heads of lion voices whispering in your ear telling you what you can't do it what you can't be and what's a game have and if you don't do it with me it can't be done the devil is a lie so [Applause] if I would have believed it if I would have received it see believing is the door of entry if I would believe it then I would receive it and it would have brought forth truth in my life sometimes the only kind of abortion that a Christian needs to have is to abort every lion seed that has attached itself to the womb of your spirit trying to bring forth fruit of damnation in your life you need job board every voice and said you can't do it you can't have it you can't be it you'll never give up you'll never survive that devil is a lot of blood that thing was it out so what had happened was I guess because I've been doing a lot of things on leadership I've been trying to figure out our leaders born or made do they just come here exceptional or do they become exceptional through the things they learn or suffer and and I started looking at to leave the the greatest pastor leader of the Old Testament was pretty messed up I mean if I was God and I was going to choose somebody to address kings and leave millions of people out of bondage to negotiate deliverance I would have never picked Moses lot of reasons that Moses would be my first choice [Music] by the time Moses got the sentence out should have been our old person this is not a speech impediment that is the most disturbing they say the formative years of a child at first few years of their life is the most important two years they say everything matters right down to playing classical music while you're pregnant they say it all affects the IQ and the intellect the colors in the room the way you talk to babies by that standard Moses would never be a great leader Moses was hidden under the sink in the dark and the shadows wrapped in blankets on the hit lists about to be destroyed his mama was hiding him under suitcases of Mansa luggage that somewhere he was hidden he was hidden as a baby his identity was hidden his greatness was hidden his destiny was hidden his purpose was hidden it wasn't like he was bounced around and played with of love and nurtured in a normal normal yeah let's deal with that normally he spent his early months hidden in the house and then his mama put him in a basket in a river with snakes and alligators and crocodiles by himself to float down the river he was abandoned he was hidden he was abandoned he was adopted he was an Egyptian by situation but he ruled by birth as confusing what language what culture what God what religion what ceremonies what cleanses he was a montage of so many different things he was like a mud his name Moses means to be drawn out and I think that when greatness is inside of you it has to be drawn out some people's greatness is drawn out by being exposed to other great people and and they seek greatness and other people and it draws out the greatness that exists inside of them some people's greatness is drawn out by challenges adversity they don't even know they're great until the Bible says that when the lion roared the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson sometimes it is the attack that draws our greatness honey you don't even know you're great till the lion roars till all hell breaks loose until everybody fakes and you decide something's got to be done sometimes it is the trouble you avoid that God is using to draw the greatness out of your life why would you make Moses a leader he was a failure he was a confused failure who tried to take matters into his own hands and ended up murdering a man and had to run out of his own house he leaves Egypt of refugee on the run a criminal on the hit list of the Kings he leaves Egypt in a mess and tries to make a new life for himself he hooks up with the Midianites a little group of people who didn't even know who he was they thought he was an Egyptian but he was a Hebrew sometimes they hook up with people who think you are something that you are not and if they knew who you really were they might not would let you in but the reason it's easy to deceive them it's because you're not sure who you are either it's not that you're evil or wicked it's just that you're confused and vulnerable and susceptible and when you don't know who you are I guess I become whatever you call me like Jacob who became what they called him his name meant trickster con artists scammer every time incoming those camera gives you some breakfast come on scammer it's time to go to bed people can pronounce things over you when you were a child that you live up to and until he has an encounter with God me that no real God tells him who his name is your name is not Jacob your name is Israel for you are a prince a prince who's a thief and a crook and a lie yes it hasn't been drawn out there are some things that God has in you that has not been drawn out no I'm talking to the phony church folk living forty years in ministry and I still got things in me that hadn't yet to be drawn out that's why I woke up this morning and I didn't wake up there coz it was another day to give me a chance to draw it out look at some myself still drawing it out if you stick with me you gonna see new sides to me that you never saw before cuz I'm still coming in tomorrow at the time we find Moses from the backside of the desert we know he's over 40 we know he's over 40 because he spent 40 years in Egypt but 40 years on the backside of the desert he was 80 when he finally got it together don't you sit there look all funny because you said t2 and confuse I don't know why y'all are look at all a part of oh my god sitting up at 61 years old and crazy as a drunk bedbug he was 80 years old [Applause] all of you who feel like you got it together I got a flash for you it takes a long time to figure the lights out give yourself some time stop trying to be too smart too fast it takes a while to come into your it takes a while to draw out who you are God in a burning bush appears on the Moses and tells him to take off the shoes at the ground and stand on his holy ground and at nearly 80 years old garland falls his destiny ain't that amazing now this is easy for me to preach more so now at 58 then it was at 28 because I'm old enough now to realize that it's gonna take longer than I thought at 28 that there are still areas in my life that me and God have to sit down and talk about that I am still being father one of real people and I want some folks with some gray hair that still do some dumb stuff and God is still bothering you to back me up on this boy test we didn't say I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on and I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm working on it I'm still working on it I'm working on it I'm better than they used to be I'm smarter than they used to be and wiser than I used to be I'm brighter than I've ever been but I haven't mastered it yet I'm still working on it even right now every night need I relapse and go back to thinking like I used to think or feeling like I used to feel he's not finished [Applause] and in essence God has given this huge assignment to go and tell Pharaoh to let my people go and he gave the assignment to somebody who was running and had and he gave it to somebody who was still confused and vulnerable and insecure and intimidated and God gave a big assignment to a guy who was so small [Applause] so if you feeling small inside it doesn't mean that you don't have a great call look at this look at this with me I'm gonna read a few scriptures into this for 1 through 6 and it says the Moses answered and said but behold they will not believe me nor hearken to my voice for they will say the LORD hath not appeared unto thee and the Lord said unto him what is in your hand and he said a rock and he said cast it on the ground then cast it on the ground it became a serpent and Moses start running [Applause] see when you start running from one thing you gonna keep running from everything that's why you need to stop running and face whatever you gotta face and deal with whatever you got to deal with because if you run from payroll you gonna run from the serpent you gonna run from love you don't run from life you're gonna run from responsibility you go run run run run run where are you will stop running Martha she'll never be Moses if you keep running from stuff that scares you love this you'll never be great if you keep running from things that scare you you're running from something that God gave you then the Lord said unto Moses put forth thine hand and take it by the tail put forth night I was so scared I'm running and you want me to grab now not visualize this how many you want to grab a snake by the tail God can call you to grab stuff you're scared of that somebody say take you by the tail oh my god and he put forth his hand and caught it and it became a rod in his hand that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers the God of Abraham the god of Isaac the God of Jacob has appeared under there I want to go back for a minute and process what we heard god I would do it but they will not believe me was it really that they would not believe or is he imposing on them something that's really coming from him whatever you've been saying about they might really be you they won't accept me they won't love me they won't accept me they can't use me they'll never embrace me you'll never get anybody to embrace you till you embrace yourself you'll never get anybody to believe in you till you believe in yourself you will never get anybody to love you till you love yourself your day might be you in disguise I must say it suddenly he said now God says to him I want you to go speak for me and he says they will not believe in me God didn't even worse lob to what he says he says what is in your hand why didn't he address what he believed about lady because what he believed about they was just a reflection of what he believed about himself so God says let's do in the Torah what you got what is in your hand this Sunday mornings I don't get anything else accomplished I want to ask you what is in your head before you assign your destiny to something externally have you assess what is in your head because somebody could take what is in your hand and win while you keep crying about what's not in your head God said I don't need anything that's not in your hand to bless you I'm gonna use something that is already I feel like I'm talking to somebody I don't know who it is what is that in thine hand if you don't do anything else today I want you to do a self assessment of what is in my head all the other voices that have been talking to you have been telling you what is not in your hand God does not lead anything that is not in your hand to bless you your blessing is hidden in what is in your hand the problem is you have a limited perception of what is in your hand you think is just a rod you think is just a stick God says I want to show you the potential of what is in your hand for that now this is a powerful thing because if Moses does not learn this in private it will mess him up in public because when he gets down to the Red Sea he's going to have to use that same stick to part the Red Sea and if he doesn't have any confidence implanted he won't have any power in public you will need what you got oh god help me oh my god I feel that thing I feel that thing I feel empty shell the neighbors say you got more than you think you do you can do more than you think you can do you can have more than you think you can have the problem is not coming from what they believe is coming from what you believe oh god I'm talking to somebody stop blaming people for the years you wasted it's not coming from Deb Moses you was a failure in front of him now you're a failure in private it can't be coming from them they're not even there the voice is in the house I was gonna say Who am I talking to I know you'd always say man [Applause] and he says the Lord said him and put forth thine hand and take it by the tail and he put forth his hand and comment and it became a rod in his hand it became a rod in his hand he caught it as a snake it became a rod sometimes you will not see till you snatch the problem with most people is you want to see your way clear before you pick it up but God said you gotta pick it up scared nervous worried intimidated not sure yourself it will only turn into a rod when it you don't even know what you got do you pick it up who am i preaching to is gonna turn in your hand not in your in your hand when you grab it in a change would you touch it cuz you gonna touch it by played God is asking him the grab what he just got to running [Applause] that's great preaching but that's scary living if I was scared enough to run from it now you're asking me to pick up just just imagine it I can't teach you just imagine it you're in the house it's a seven-foot Copperhead and the voice of the Lord says take it by the tail now I can snatch it up that's a thought I could handle it but if I thought I could handle it I would have never run from it now you want me to grab something that I don't think I can handle cuz you're trying to show me that if I step over my fear and rabbit my faith in a change in my now this nature you might be grabbing might not be a comprehend or rattlesnake it might be raised in a child or getting married or giving love it depends on what have you been running from God is calling you to just snatch what you've been running from when God called me to preach respectfully I thought you got your wires crossed I am scared to death when I first started preaching I couldn't even a whole a microphone they had to put it on the stand and I had to put my hands behind my back and lean forward because if I took it by the hand the crowd would see that my hands were shaking but God will often bless you the greatest to the thing you are the most afraid of take it by the head flips up I said take it by the head you're not gonna see it till you grab it it's going to change in your head one day I just snatch the mic and forgot to be scared you cannot overcome what you will not concern if I didn't say nothing has to walk out the door I have already preached that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob have appeared unto the helmet verse 5 verse 6 and the Lord said furthermore put now the hand into that bosom and he put his hand into his bosom and when he took it out behold the hand was left versus know God said they're gonna believe when you do they're gonna love you when you do they're gonna fire you you when you do he said we got some more work to do take your hand in here and it came out leprous stick it back in it came out here God is saying do you see how i can control situations then i can control the outcome wait maybe there was no cure for leprosy anybody who got leprosy died so God said I'm gonna give you a terminal disease and then I'm gonna take it away that's who your boss is that's who you're working for that's what he's able to do why are you afraid if the power of life and death isn't God who are you traitor we're saved and it shall come to pass that if they will not believe thee neither hearken to the voice of the first sign that they will believe the voice of the latter side and it shall come to pass it if they will not believe also these two signs leader harkaman survival wait a minute wait a minute you mean the last line of defense is it's my voice that if they don't believe my miracles they have to believe the voice of a god just to catch even why with God as this guy all the people to talk he uses the guy who can't help to talk and says if they don't believe the rod turned it into a server and if they don't believe de leprosy being healed they will hearken unto your life voice yeah you want to use the weakest part of me to do the greatest thing that'll ever be done yes my strength is made perfect in your weakness if I wanted to talk good I'm a user scared but we use your nervous I'm a useless stuttering I'm a user it's fighting insecurities and your doubts and your incompetence but I cannot use your unbelief what they think is not the problem what you're scared of is not the problem the fact that you can't have talk it's not the problem the problem I'm having you with you Moses it's your beliefs five times in the passage is one word believe believe believe believe believe believe not one time the God who healed leprosy not one time did he say I'm Oh healing you from stuttering now you know if you could heal leprosy you could heal stuttering my god if I had a leper and a stutter just myself I'd rather trying to stutter I'd have a better chance a healing the stutterer I might just tell you and me stop started shout do something but took a holiday proceed driving away God healed the worst thing left him struggling with the little thing cuz the little things will not stop you from doing the great things his his strength is made perfect in weakness but the problem the reason that God appeared to the burning in the burning bush to Moses in the first place the reason he asked Moses a question what is in your hand because God is challenging what Moses believes I'm not talking about what you say you know how to say the right stuff I'm talking about what you believe about yourself you say the right things you've been taught how to imitate faith you talk as my grandmother said you talk at the big game but you go home and live out your belief if you believe you are unlovable you will always be unloved you can dress up you can smell good you can work out you can say all the right things you can walk around you can be definite you can be cool you'd be here but none of that will overcome that beliefs that you have in your heart that your life is over that you made too many mistakes that you're too old to give anything done in the kingdom these things that you believe have become your vision statement it is your purpose and unknowingly it has become your goal to live out the damnation of the words you rehearse to yourself so you're busy trying to get everybody else to like something then you don't like you're trying to convince everybody else that you are something that you don't believe and this morning the Lord sent me here to challenge your belief so I said to God how can I challenge their belief and he says to me faith of any kind always comes by hearing you didn't believe you were dumb - you heard you were dumb you didn't believe you couldn't learn to your hurts or my sin you could learn you didn't believe you are an attractive - you heard somebody say your unbelief is a result of something you heard about yourself that you believed about yourself and your life has fulfilled the prophecy you heard about yourself you're crazy like your daddy yeah just like your mammy all of these are curses they may not be cussing but their curses that were pronounced over you that said you couldn't do this or that or the other and the more you heard it and rehearsed it and even argued about it and said you didn't believe it every time you face a challenge tell me the truth don't those voices come back up every time you hit a low place don't those voices come back up again every time things go wrong don't those voices come back you have never changed your belief oh I'm not saying you don't believe in God you really really really believe in God you you have you have been blessed with the ability to believe in God in fact you are wondering right now how could I believe so much in God and be going through what I'm going through when you are so good at believing in God but you are so bad I believe it in you and if you think that I can do of all things also the true Christ which strengthens me how can Christ risen and I that can't do you and your body is reacting to those words and you will never completely be healed or whole until you change the voice inside of your own head and nobody no body can do this but you new friends can't do it new clothes can't do it more money can't do it more women can't do it more sex can't do it they can camouflage it but they can't kill it because you are slag by the words of your own mouth you can't get enough people to tell you you're pretty when you think you're ugly that's why you keep needing some more until you change the words that are in your head your opportunities will continue to him reach like the woman with the issue of blood her issues were killing her 12 years her issues were killing her 12 years the life's blood was hemorrhaging out of her it was coming out of her lower extremities but it was coming from her mouth all yawning Jets there it is coming out of her lower extremities but it is coming from her mouth can you prove it yes I can what he'll did not come from her lower extremities what healed her came out of her mouth when she said to herself see until she met Jesus all she believed about herself was a nun die and die and die and die and so her money died cuz she was dying her relationships died because she was bad her heart was broken cuz she was dying she couldn't have relationships she was dying she had spent all of her money because she was dying until she met Jesus where she met Jesus he saves the story she told herself [Applause] [Music] [Applause] if I'm able touch the hem of his garment she didn't say it to anybody it was what she said to herself not if you read it in the original language but it says she said to herself it says she said repeatedly to herself over and over and over again because when you're trying to drive out stinking vision you have to say it I'm helping anybody so she says it's not maybe a touch the hem of his garment I'll be made whole she took about seven if I make a touch the hem of his garment I'll be made a hole if I may be but touch the hem of his garment I'll be made whole if I may that touch the hem of his garment I'll be if I'm even touch the hem of his garment I was having been touched the hem of His garment I will be if I may be touched if I miss my touch hallelujah slap your neighbors say talk to yourself talk to your man talk to your childhood look to your deliverer talk to your crisis change your story they say they say that it takes about 21 if I'm not mistaken 21 days they write 21 days of repetitive confessing to change an inner narrative your old story neurologists tell us has so affected your frontal lobe that your brain swells with stress taking away memory and functionality because your fight or flight instincts are activated by the negativity of the words that have been told to you that's why even when you lay down at night you can't rest because your body is still playing repeat of a narrative of things that aren't even there anymore but your body's reacting because it's still going on in your head but they say if for 21 days you can change your story and say if I'm in my box [Applause] twenty-one days sitting on the head not the tail I'm above and not beneath I'm more than a conqueror hallelujah imma be blessed in the city I'm blessed in the field wherever I go I will be blessed 21 days I'll say that over and over again in the morning you have it for breakfast at noon

healed while Jesus wasn't even looking at her in fact he said who touched me he doesn't say go that way my him has made you whole he says go that way that faith has made me hold that belief system your belief system your belief system your belief system not your husband not your wife not the boyfriend not your girlfriend not a big check your belief system has made the whole it appears to me that Jesus had nothing to do with her healing he doesn't say I made you whole he says your belief system in fact I wouldn't even head it to your house I wouldn't even thinking about you I was on my way to Jr's daughter's house but your belief system crawled up on me tapped into a fracture the shadowpuss after hey let me tell you something I'm not worried about whether you shout off this message if you just practice this message this would be the greatest message you ever heard in your life if you would practice this one message and come against that voice of your head for 21 days of transformative thinking it wasn't that God didn't send it for 21 days he sent it on the first day but in Daniel he had to fight principalities and powers neurologist says you have to fight through your old story for 21 days mango I just want to ask you was that preaching to you today [Applause] put that on the screens believe again that's all we're gonna do is just believe we're just gonna believe we're just gonna believe we're gonna believe our way into the next dimension of your life we're gonna believe ourselves into wholeness and healing in peace we're gonna believe ourselves into courage we're gonna believe ourselves into good rest and sound minds it's gonna happen because you believed there's one thing that the Lord gave me that I neglected to mention when God found Moses he was leading sheep on the run leading sheep and God was calling Moses to lead people your destiny is always camouflaged in some form in your history whatever God called you to do you were already doing it in another dimension [Applause] I started to call the sermon practice because he practices miracles and he was practicing his leadership you you who were gang leaders might be called to be church leaders the enemy saw what God put in you and perverted him for his use and he did it through the language you speak to yourself now the God has touched your life you're gonna find out that in the next dimension God's gonna use some of the very things that you abused in the first dimension the woman at the whale who had seduced five men five husbands and a situation in her Lourdes dimension in her heart dimension started preaching and all the men came out to see [Applause] lord there's torment in telling yourself the wrong story it affects your finances it affects your family it affects your destiny and your peace what you believe this Sunday morning we're changing what we believe about ourselves and our competence and our potential in our power and our possibilities not self aggrandizement no no no but we're gonna say that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me strengthen every man and woman in this room some were hidden in their childhood some were abused in the childhood someone locked up in closets and left in basements and tossed from neighbor to neighbor from foster home to foster home and they find it difficult to anchor into anything or anybody because of what happened in the tent or what happened in the bulrush is over what bit him in the water or who drew him in to the palace but in spite of the turbulence of the past in spite of the divorce in spite of the pain of the loved one that died in spite of the trauma of the rape that occurred in spite of whatever has left us stuttering in amazement this is a day that the Lord has made today I will rejoice I will be glad I will believe I want you to take this personal don't clap lift your hands open your mouth and minister to God as he ministers to you [Applause] [Music] Oh

anointing of God is in this place we got some reprogramming to do we got to delete some things we got a reprogram ourselves in alignment with God's Word I am who God says I am I can do what God says I can do I can have what God says I can have I can become what God says I can become there are no limits Lord I believe it I believe it you got to make it personal or it's not going to happen as we come to the close of service two things need to happen we're getting ready to worship the Lord in our times and then our friends that we're gonna do that by faith we're gonna do that yeah as an act of faith and contrition before him we're gonna step out into what was impossible and say all things [Music] nothing is nothing and we're gonna take a bold stand of faith as for me in my house Lord I believe if you watching over the internet this is a sacred and holy moment as much as any other part of the service as we honor the Lord with our substance and with our increase and we thank you for the things that we know that we know that we know that we know we know we know God did it everything I got everything I am everything I'm not to God be the glory for the things he's done for the doors
