T.D. Jakes Sermons: Don't Let the Chatter Stop You Part 1

don't litigate over how much you have a right to have what I got because until you suffered what I suffer floated through what I floated through survived what I survived don't be frustrated because some princess pulled me out of the water and put me in the palace if you weren't gonna float down with the alligators then don't complain about me eating in the palace this is the posture god bless you my friends we are together again and we're excited about it we've been sharing a series that is blessing God's people the series is The Verge the message today is don't let the chatter stop you I cannot tell you how many people tweeted me at Bishop Jake's to tell me this message bless him in a powerful way when I preached it because so many people are distracted by the chatter around them to the point that they cannot focus on the goal before them the message don't let the chatter stop you maybe what you need to get your focus back check it out now Moses is a grown man we were seeing him close to 40 years old he's a grown man he's blessed he got things he wouldn't gotten any other way education by the Egyptians the Egyptian culture we are still studying their advancement and technology is still intimidating even to modern scientists today their architectural abilities have caused people to travel for miles to study the pyramids Moses was exposed to that in a way he would have never been exposed had he not gone through the adversity in his house he would have never been exposed to the opportunity adverse for the opportunity adversity opportunity adversity opportunity every time he had an adversity had an opportunity he's 40 years old and he's got the opportunities that people would kill for kind of opportunities that other people would have died for got to go places and do things and understand things that had he stayed in the house he started in he would have never gotten all he would have known how to do was make bricks without straw but God pulled him out and sometimes when God pulls you out of your natural environment it's painful you suffer a lot he didn't pull you out to kill you he pulled you out to bless you Nine's 40 he's mere 40 years old and he's blessed he's blessed he's educated he's articulate he's intelligent he's bilingual he's blessed but he's uh confused you can yeah lord I wish I you can be blessed and still be confused he's all dressed up and confused he's a grown man with a little boy issues struggling and suffering on the inside and walking around and all of the Egyptian capes and all dressed up like he's a prince he he looks like a prince but he's not he's he's a Hebrew by blood but he's not he's neither Egyptian nor Hebrew he's stuck in the middle and he looks out the window and he sees two men fighting a Hebrew and an Egyptian fighting what he sees on the outside is a reflection of what's going on on the inside if I say nothing else this morning I have said it all because if you can grasp what I just said then you realize that what you see on the outside is a reflection of what is going on on the inside what you see on that side wish I had times this to really work there I was sitting with a bunch of psychologists and they were they were counseling the woman that was saying that she been contemplating suicide and the psychologist said oh no no she's not going to commit suicide I said how can you say that with such absoluteness they said her hair is combed she brushed her teeth her clothes are pressed it what you see on the outside is a reflection of what's going on on the inside do you hear what I'm saying there's fighting on the outside because there's fighting on the inside I'm gonna drill into that a little bit interesting point in 35 years of counseling people I've counseled all kinds of Angry Men I've counseled men who beat their wives and they beat them beat him mercilessly hit him in the head with skillets and wrenches and stuff like that do hot oil on all kind of stuff away but I never saw a man who beat his wife and lacked himself what you see on the outside is the reflection of the conflict on the inside I could go home now because because if you leave that part justice you could spend the next 24 hours going through your life saying what do you see going through the trunk of your car through your garage through your house what you see on the outside is the reflection of what's going on in the inside if you're happy to live in clutter I'm not gonna body another body now we all have to live in it but if you're happy to live in clutter if you're comfortable it doesn't bother you maybe it doesn't bother you because what you see he sees the fighting on the outside it's a reflection of the fight on the inside he raises his hand to stop it he's trying to stop it in them so he can stop it in him the fight on the outside forced him to confront the conflict on the inside all of us and he's been conflicted for 40 years but some circumstances are rules in his life that brought to the surface the inner conflict that he has in his soul and he rises up because now faced with a Hebrew and an egyptian fightning he now has to choose whose side are you on forty years have not demanded that he make a choice but one incident has pushed his emotions to the surface do you choose your conditioning or your pedigree now he chooses his background his heritage and he kills an Egyptian killed an Egyptian and buries him in the sand looking to the left of the right he sees nobody and buries it in the sand 24 hours later what he sees on the outside is totally different from what he saw yesterday he does not see an Egyptian and a Hebrew fighting because even made the choice only to find out that there's still conflict the Hebrews are fighting and he rises up to solve it now this this is the what when a woman is birthing a baby they call it crowning when the head first comes out the head is the first thing to come on you hear the nurse say it's crowning his greatness is crowding his greatness is crowning but it's crowning at a time that he is not positionally in a place to function on the level that he's able to think on so he's he's functioning like a king but he is not a king so you you got an internal conflict that has now gone external thing with me church one of the things I love about preaching at the potter's house is that you are a thinking people I cannot pastor people who do not think I'm allergic to them they make me itch who deliver me from stupid people just my head the line to the Lord's Prayer deliver us from evil and stupid people just I'm just gonna inserted right in there just they'll it take me out of the case in her have you ever had an argument with the fool you lose all interest in the argument when you find out that you are not even intelligent enough to debate me on this level and you start saying that's okay don't even worry about it it's all good that baby just cheeto robbed with the music honey it's all right it don't even matter talk to the hand yeah yeah he's in a dilemma now and he is fighting he is fighting his greatness is coming out it's crowning and when greatness crowns it creates conflict because it does not crown and when you have been placed in the position it crowns before you're rich before you got the money yeah educated before you got the degree you are preacher before they ordain you you're a leader before you get the job you're a visionary before you become a CEO your wife before you get married you're a husband before you find a woman if you're not that before you won't be after so you have to go through a period of displacement where you have vision to function on a level and don't have opportunity which creates frustration because you say I feel this with everything I got inside of me but nothing outside has acknowledged me on the level that I think on it and you don't feel appreciated because your thoughts are up here and your situation whoa do you hear what I'm saying to you still to come on the fighters touch I had no idea I was even important enough to be hated on the level I was hated horn I couldn't even defend myself because I was shocked that you cared enough to write anything about me Who am I that you would care anyway your hatred of me helped to tutor me into understanding my own significance what do you do with the fire that will not go the wait is over God wants to use you in extraordinary ways now great things are ahead of you you're on the burden you are not just going from day to day week to week month to month and now you get ready step into another year you are standing on the cusp of an entirely new awakening there's a burning desire down inside of you that will not shut up I got the pain but I got the passion tooth I got the problem but I got the passion tooth I got a little chatter going on but I still got the passion life is gonna hand you something every day take in what you can get out of it let go what you take it out of it but don't let anybody hurt you so bad that you show the wait is over it's time to make your life count order the birds today visit our website or call one 800 Bishop 2 Matt Matt Melvin look at the conflict for a minute if it were not enough conflict to be a he Egyptian speaking Hebrew a cultural conflict with an unresolved childhood now God is bringing greatness out of a man who doesn't have a position to match his intellect a weaker person would have blown their brains out I said this this is just crazy this doesn't make any sense some of y'all are there right now your life does not make any sense you're in the middle of your life and it doesn't make any sense because you've got cops over here but your situation is over here and you're still trying to work out some stuff from your childhood but you are wrong may praise the Lord and you're in this situation and you're trying to fix people around you while you're still conflict it on the inside and you wonder how can the physician be sick how can the healer be broken how how can I help other people and can't help myself how can i oh God and help me to preach this thing I'm not talking to anybody today he's 40 years old and he's trying to get it together he trying to figure it out and he's running out of time and he's trying to help he's trying to make a difference in spite of his background in spite of his childhood in spite of his conflict he's trying to make a difference he's trying to make a difference there's something bound inside of him he can't figure out what it is nobody's taking ownership of it the Egyptians haven't embraced him the Hebrews don't like it Moses doesn't understand it yet when he sees conflict he runs in there with a big s on his shirt and he runs out there with his cape in his boots on and he's trying to help people who don't even like him have you ever tried to help people who don't even appreciate the help you're trying to give them and there you are trying to make a difference in their life and the very people you trying to help are giving you the most hell you ever had in all your life cuz you have never been hurt til you get hurt by somebody you trying to help oh I wish I had somebody who'd been misunderstood I wish I had somebody who was trying to do a good thing and every time you tried to do something good things got worse instead of better the more Moses trying to help people the bigger mess he found himself here he's got a dead man buried in the sand and he's out there in another fight and before he could get out of this here comes dad and before you can straighten out that here comes something l look like every 24 hours a new kind of fight breaks out in your life is there anybody in church today that every time you turn around scared to answer the phone scared to open up your own email you say Lord if another fight breaks out in my life I got fighting on the inside I got fighting on the outside I got fighting in my personal life I got all God I'm talking for somebody don't even know who it is and I want you to see the irony these two Hebrews are fighting Moses comes out to break up the fight and one of the Hebrews he's not trying to kill anybody he's just trying to say go home don't fight and one of the Hebrews said who are you to be trying to straighten us out who made you prince who did make him Prince the Lord had made him Prince but he was trying to do the right thing at the wrong time don't try to get there before you live just because you can think there you have not been placed there you can be anointed and not be appointed you can be anointed to be king over Israel David and then have to be sent back out there to shuttle sheep down because one of the tests of greatness is your ability to survive frustration so God will put greatness in isolation which creates frustration because you have to be able to survive frustration in order to be eligible to become a leader because if you can't handle internal frustration you sure can't handle external frustration if frustration on the inside is going to make you quit what in the world are you going to do when you have frustration on the outside so when God is getting you ready for frustration on the outside he lets you deal with a lot of frustration on the inside so that you can learn how to be frustrated and still be faithful frustrated and still be consistent frustrated and still be diligent I'm talking to somebody I don't know who it even but I'm talking to somebody this morning so here he is any easy he's trying to have this shout with me baby I feel something about to break loose in here this morning I feel their anointing of God about to break loose in here see when you hear this is how we express ourselves but when you hear people hollow out that that means truth hits you with when truth hits you in the face all of a sudden you have a reaction to it because I'm preaching to you about one thing but God is showing you different things in your life that fit what I'm preaching about that's a miracle of preaching the gospel and so the guy says to him who made you prince over us his prophecy is in the mouths of his enemies his prophecy is in the mouth of his enemies I learned more about who I was from my haters I had no idea I was even important enough to be hated on the level I was hated on I couldn't even defend myself because I was shocked that you cared enough to write anything about me Who am I that you would care anyway your hatred of me helped to tutor me into understanding my own significance all y'all hear what I'm saying oh my god so his haters now have said to him who made you Prince over us and then he says this is where I want to hammer down he said are you gonna kill me like you did the guy yesterday now on one hand he has just discovered that he is a prince and that know it anointed but not appointed has greatness that hadn't been revealed yet and that's it that's a wonderful thing in the next sentence he finds out that his past has come back to haunt him what the first sentence should have made him say you know yeah I'm gonna be Prince over you that's right you did God is just showing you what he's already showed me but the Prince is a liar and a murderer what do you do when you got a holiness and freakiness I'm right over top of him I've here a man likes what do you do y'all look so guilty yummy if y'all it look so funny I would know it was you but uh I don't know about you I just pass through here I'll go home with you but what do you do hey life craziness of Mercedes event it don't make no sense man I fed you that's why I get into work cuz I've tried and figured out give it crazy it's crazy what do you do when you got so much strength in you that everybody comes to you and everybody leans on you and everybody depends on you and everybody comes to you for answers and you are a strong person but you are equally a weak person you you you a powerful person but you're also a tired person and people see one side and they don't see the other side and am I talking to anybody today he is a prince over them he will deliver them he will bring them out from the hands of favor he's all of that but he also just lied and killed a man and buried him and hid the body now ain't that crazy I say all of this to comfort you I'm so glad you came to church this morning now watch this the enemy will always send a terrorist alert when you are close to your destiny stay tuned I've got more for you in just a moment what do you do with the fire that

Texas megafest is going to be absolutely awesome where you can have a good time the Bible says in Hebrews that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance when I grew up they taught us and that meant that people could be gifted without repenting but when I studied the text what it really means is that once God calls you he does not repent he does not change his mind he does not take it
