The Come Up | Sarah Jakes Roberts

greetings family pastor Toure here I'm excited to tour tuned in you're getting ready to hear a powerful message I believe it's going to change your life and speaking of life changing my new book wholeness it's a best-seller it's changing so many lives I pray you've got your hand on it if you don't I want you to hear this testimony of what it's doing in the life of people just like you I'm reading wholeness again because I need it again let me tell you when I picked it up the first time the very beginning caught me off guard when it when I began to realize that I needed to be able to say I'm not okay and and I wasn't okay with not being okay but as I read the book of wholeness I started to realize that all of these patterns and being okay we're keeping me back from the life that I could really be living and the secure woman that I could become but now I have the tool to become whole and I hope you get this tool too because it is going to change your life [Music] I've been trained and I've been studying I want to get right into the word I believe that God has something to say to his people we're gonna dive right into Luke chapter 1 verse 11 if you're visiting for the first time you'll notice that there are people standing up all over the room it is our custom here to stand for the reading of the word to show reverence and respect while you're turning to your Bibles of course we'll have it on this screen but if you're like me and you'd like to turn to your Bible I'm gonna give you a minute that's Luke 1 I also want to invite women can you make some noise for me in the room yes I want to invite you to come out in July we're having a Women's Conference here at the potter's house Denver there is no place too far we want you to come and help us take over the city of Denver we only have literally a couple hundred seats left so I want to make sure that if you think this would be beneficial for you and your friends your sisters your cousin's your Aimee's in them that you guys are in the place July 13 through 14 we've got Flyers we'll be handing out after service for those of you who are interested I'll be in the Gospel according to Luke chapter 1 verse 11 the text to begin it says and then an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense and when Zacharias saw him he was troubled and fell in fear fell upon him but the angel said to him do not be afraid Zechariah for your prayer is heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you shall call his name John and you will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth for he will be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink and neither wine nor strong drink he will also be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God he will also go before him in this beard and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the father's to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready a people prepared for the Lord and Zechariah said to the angel what you talkin about Willis and Zechariah said to the angel how shall I know this for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years and the angel answered and said to him I am Gabriel who stands in the presence of God and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings but behold you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time for those of you who like to take notes than my subject for today is the come-up that come up and so spirit of the Living God we thank you for the opportunity to be in your presence we don't take it for granted nor do we take it lightly it is actually the air that we breathe and the rhythm of our heart your presence gives us fuel to live in this world that can often be confusing and sometimes even disappointing but armed with our word we know that no weapon formed against us will prosper armed with that word we know that though we are being slayed we can trust in you armed with that word we know that there is no mountain too great nor Valley too low that we cannot overcome God we need to hear a word the kind of word that sets our soul on fire and sends us back into this world knowing in whom we believe in whom we trust and so God I'm asking that this would be a time where you speak to your people and that I would decrease so that you may increase that there would be no fear no anxiety just your word standing tall down on the inside of me so that lives can be touched healed and restored for your glory in Jesus name Amen and then you can be seated and get comfortable unless you like to stand in solidarity with my feet come on somebody my husband and I have been travelling for the last few days and when you're traveling you pick up on all different types of just you know countenances and you are in other people's environments and we were coming back from Boston and we noticed as we were sitting at this restaurant that the waitress who was helping us with our meal she seemed a little bit down and she dropped our drinks off and then I said to my husband I'm like she seems sad and he goes well why don't you check on her and see so you have to know the difference between my husband and I my husband has never met a stranger we go to the grocery store before we leave he knows their aunts their uncles he's invited to the cookout me I go to the grocery store with headphones in you know you don't have to say anything to me I'm fine so the idea of me like reaching into someone else's business to see how they're doing is just not generic to who is not organic to Who I am I told them in the earlier service that I am the president/ceo head of the deccan Board of mind your business ministries I mind my business like it is a full-time job and so when my husband told me that I should check on her I'm like okay you know if the spirit leads me to I will ask her how she's doing so she came back to the table and I said I'm you know about that chocolate cake you were talking about earlier because I felt like chocolate cake is just a level playing ground everyone can connect on chocolate and so I said about that chocolate cake we definitely want to have a piece of that and then I said guy are you doing you know like here we are let's go for it how are you doing and she's like um I'm doing okay I'm having a hard day and I'm like oh yeah you seemed a little sad what's going on so now we friends okay I don't know if you all realize this but we're friends and so she told me that she was having an issue at school with her financial aid and she wasn't going to be able to go to summer school and so she was gonna have to leave her place of work in just a few to see if she would be able to get the loan and and to figure things out and so we asked her how much it was and my husband and I decided that we would help her so she wouldn't have to worry about that and and you know tears came to her eyes and I just felt like it was such a testimony that miracles can just be wrapped up in everyday packages here she is just doing her job following what she's supposed to be doing in order to manifest whatever it is that God has laid on her heart to do and all of a sudden got just places her on our heart that's why you have to be sensitive when God places somebody on your heart you may be able to release something down on the inside of them that is causing them to feel darkness and confusion but as we were talking and fellowshipping she went back to serving other tables and it dawned on me that before that moment she was serving while disappointed she was serving while confused there are some people in this room who are literally attending church disappointed attending church confused you would never know it because they're still in their routine they're still in their rhythm everything looks like it's functioning on the outside but on the inside they're trying to figure out how they're going to make it to the end of the day they're trying to figure out how they're going to keep the lights on they're trying to figure out whether or not they're going to get their promotion I know you would never be able to tell but there are many people in this room who know exactly what it's like to serve while disappointed to keep showing up in the marriage even though the marriage doesn't feel the way that it did the day you said I do still serving the children even though the children don't look anything like the way you raised them to be you're still showing up at the job even with the co-workers and the boss who don't appreciate you and don't say thank you and I'm still showing up and I'm doing it in excellence I wish there was somebody in this room who understood what it was like to be serving while dissapoint to still have a spirit of excellence even though there's destruction all around me and my life is just on the edge of falling apart and nobody knows it but me and God having to serve while disappointed is exactly where we find Zacharias and Elizabeth in this text the text tells us just a few scriptures up that Zacharias and Elizabeth that they were faithful they followed all of the ordinances of the Lord and they were righteous before God but these aren't the kind of people who were righteous before God because it was easy God wasn't this genie who gave them everything they asked for Zacharias and Elizabeth wanted a son but she was barren and then when she wasn't barren or maybe God could have healed her from being barren then they became too old to even have children any longer and yet they were still righteous before God I think that's powerful because if culture would define our relationship with God it would suggest that our worshipping our praise is the most powerful and God answers our prayers and I would like to submit for your consideration that I were worshiping our prayer and I were praised as most powerful when he has disappointed us but we still lift our hands anyway there are some people in this room who were still serving God not because He healed their mother not because he gave them the job not because they got the raise or got the promotion but because they recognized that my faithfulness to God is not contingent on whether or not he does what I ask him to do it's based on him being who he is because I know at the end of the day he's going to make all things work together for my good so I'm serving while disappointed because I trust the one who has created the plan in the first place I wish I just had a few people in this room who did mine thanking God for allowing us a place to still serve even through disappointment you see some people serve God and got mad and when he didn't do what they wanted him to do they left the church then they left their faith all together but there are some people in this room who had to hang on to their faith by a thread it wasn't easy for me this day it wasn't easy for me to keep on worshipping but I trust in to whom I believe it wasn't easy for me to keep my head held high when I was burying my parent but I trust in the home I believe I believe I believe I believe he's gonna make this thing turn out for my good I believe I believe I believe that even if he doesn't do it the way I wanted him to that it's going to turn out exactly the way that it should because that's the kind of God I served I'm not looking for a genie I'm looking for a king I'm not looking for somebody to just do what I say otherwise that would make me God but I am submitted under the mighty hand of God anyway you want to do with God I'll be satisfied even if I have to do it disappointed even if I have to do it divorced even if I have to do it through rehab even if I have to do it when I feel like I'm losing my child I'm gonna do it god I'm going to do it because means serving you as a reflection of how you served me and when I disappointed you grace still caught me and when I disappointed you grace still made away and so if I'm honest while I was studying something came to mind and I didn't even know if it was proper to say but I felt like in order for Zacharias and Elizabeth to stay faithful that they had to be willing to forgive God we're not answering their prayers you know what makes us as believers angry with God when he doesn't do what we thought he was going to do and we can still come to church and we can still sing the songs and we can still lift our hands but if we're honest we have a little bit of the barricade between us and God and there are people in this room and and people perhaps watching over the Internet who have to take a minute and come to the reality that you and gods relationship requires some reconciliation I want to be honest and say that when you didn't answer that prayer that I got bitter that when you didn't answer that prayer I got frustrated that I turned my back on my faith when you didn't answer that prayer I gave up and I stopped believing in love when you didn't fix my marriage when you didn't heal my mother when I asked you to do something and you didn't do it that thing almost broke me and I've been angry with God because he didn't answer my prayers I'm still coming to church I'm still sinking but there's this block where there used to be trust because I thought that I could pray and ask you to do something and that you would come through for me but the reality is that part of us forgiving God depends on us realizing that we have to trust him and I can forgive you for not living up to my plan because I trust that your plan will be greater and I know that because I have the track record of when you didn't answer my prayers but what you gave me in return after you didn't answer my prayers was greater than anything I could imagine so I'm not gonna let this one disappointment change the way I connect with you for the rest of my life that would be the enemy creating the wedge between me and my Savior so right here in this moment I'm just going to go ahead and say God I am forgiving you for not for me not trusting in your plan I'm not going to give the enemy any room I'm not going to give depression I'm not gonna give doubt I'm not going to give second-guessing any room because in order for me to win at this thing called life I got to be tired so clovis closely with him that there is no room for division and the only thing that is currently dividing some of us from God is that he didn't live up to the expectation we had and I hear God's saying I didn't live up to your expectation because your expectation was too low and if I would have kept you in that situation you would have never been forced to grow you would have never been forced to create you would have never been forced to start the business you would have never been forced to stand on your own two feet I know you wanted help I know you wanted someone to be there for you I know you wanted it to work out a certain way but I moved the support system so that all you could count on was me otherwise that thing that you were praying for it would have been your God and I want to be the only god I'm in chela Scott and I gotta know that when I give it to you you'll worship the one who gave it to you and not the thing that I gave Zac arising Elizabeth are still serving and they're still being righteous in spite of the fact that they've been disappointed and they did what a lot of us have to do when we are committed to not allowing our circumstance to change our relationship with God they bury that prayer they say you know what it's not God's will and I'm okay with that so I'm going to bury that prayer but I'm going to stay faithful and committed and in the process of Zechariah is staying faithful and committed they cast the Lots and he is chosen to take care and tend to the altar of incense inside of the temple and that may sound routine for those of you who have not studied the way that I looked into this text but the reality is that at that time there were 18,000 priests serving the temple and so for him to be chosen to tend to the altar of incense was a 1 in 18,000 people chants but because he remained faithful and because he did not allow bitterness to change who he was God could trust him into another level of glory got to say it the way I I studied it because he didn't get mad when God didn't answer his prayers because you didn't get mad when God didn't answer your prayers yeah I got frustrated yeah I almost gave up but I still been watching on the livestream I've still been coming into church I've still been sowing I didn't give up completely I still kept showing them God said because you kept your heart in the right place in spite of the many reasons that you had to walk away now I can trust you with another level of glory I feel like somebody needs to understand that God has been watching you and he knows you walked into this room with a limp and he knows that everything hasn't been easy for you but I hear God saying that because you kept on because you pressed in when everyone else was giving up I'm gonna pull you up I'm gonna pull you up I'm gonna pull you up I know that's hard to believe because some of you have been so disappointed in the last time you trusted that God was gonna pull you up he failed but I'm telling you that this is a prophetic word I've been speaking in four different cities I've been on three different airplanes but I knew when I got this word last night that it was for somebody if it is not for you just clap your hands for the person beside you but I hear God saying that I have been watching how you have been sewing I have been watching how you have been checking your heart and checking your attitude and checking your mouth and surrendering to the love of God in spite of the jealousy and envy that you could be surrendered to and I hear God's saying now I'm getting ready to pull you up to the next level of glory I can trust you with what I'm doing because you didn't make what you want it more important than what I was doing gonna trust you with the next level of glory I'm getting ready to pull you up I'm getting ready to pull you up I'm getting ready to pull you up I just keep hearing that for somebody I'm getting ready to pull you up you are about to become intimately acquainted with something you once only knew from a distance I'm about to pull you to the Holies of Holies Zacharias was a priest he knew all of the the outer courts in the inner courts he knew exactly what the temple was supposed to look like yet he had never been in it he was on the outside looking in until this moment but God says because you stayed faithful you are going to become intimately acquainted with something you once only knew from a distance intimately acquainted intimately acquainted with success you used to only see success from the outside looking in but because you remain faithful now you are going to be intimately acquainted with the level of success that you have been exposed to what am I saying I'm saying you need to start taking notes of what you've been exposed to start taking notes of the things that seemed out of your league the truth is if it was really out of your league you would have never been exposed to it but because God exposed you to what he was trying to show you a preview of a coming attraction somebody ought to get happy cuz you spent your whole life on that outside looking in God was not hurting you are taunting you he was trying to show you what he was preparing for you and the moment that he decided that you were ready you'll be pulled up into that next level of glory I promise you he is not a man that he should lie he is not into the business and making a mockery out of his children intimately acquainted I'm gonna know it for myself I'm gonna know it for myself and sometimes he exposes you from a distant level so that you can learn from the mistakes at that vantage point so that when you get in it you're armed with the experience of watching someone else and you can do it better intimately acquainted and so Zacharias is going into the temple and he's taking care of the altar of incense the altar of incense is a symbol of prayer the same way that Christ is constantly interceding on our behalf the altar of incense must constantly be kept burning the smoke has to constantly be ascending to heaven and while Zacharias is in there tending to the altar of incense there are people outside praying at the same time that he's tending to the altar and so I can imagine being Zacharias and finally being allowed acts to the temple and how careful and reverent he had to have been in that moment you see what keeps some of us from being pulled up to that next dimension is that the moment we get in there we want to take a selfie to show everybody that we got upgraded I want everybody to see how I'm on the next level now but when you're really on the next level there's such a reverence because you know you really shouldn't be there and you know that it's only by God's grace alone that you're even in the room so you don't have time to prove to anybody else that you're in the room you're trying to make sure that you live a life worthy of staying in the room that you're trying to live a life worthy of bringing honor and value to the room you don't have time to do it for the gram you don't have the time to do it for social media you're only there because you want to serve what God is doing in that room you can be pulled up when God can trust your service in those rooms and so he's tending to the altar of incense which represents the prayers of the Hebrew people and as he's taking care of the altar of incense I can only imagine what it's like to tend to someone else's prayers when your prayers haven't been answered yourself how clean your hands have to be to handle someone else's desires when you're still praying that God would manifest the desires that are down on the inside of your heart I don't mind working for someone else it's just sometimes I wish that I was working for that business that God placed down on the inside of me I don't mind being going somebody said it's just sometimes I wish that we were on the set for the movie that God placed down on the inside of me I don't mind reading someone else's book it's just sometimes I wish that someone would be reading the book that God placed down on the inside of me and yet Zacharias is still tending to the altar of incense he's still taking care of someone else's prayers what humility is required for us to live our life in such a way that we can honor and celebrate what God is doing in someone else's life without being envious and upset or distressed that he's not doing it in our own so when we find Zacharias and the text he is tending to the altar of incense and the angel of the Lord appears to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense when I was imagining as I was reading this text is being Zacharias he's finally made his way into the temple and he's finally taking care of the altar of incense and the text tells us that he got afraid and I wondered why he got afraid I mean it seems like if you're in the Holies of Holies and an angel appears that that should be like a good thing you know I would think you know and then I thought about it for angel appeared to me and I would be like what does this it is this is it it's over now it would never dawned on me that maybe he was about to answer a prayer of mine it just made me think about how sometimes God blesses us and we wonder if it's too good to be true and we get afraid in the midst of the blessing because if we're honest we're wondering at any moment is God gonna pull the rug from underneath us and show us that maybe we weren't supposed to be here in the first place maybe I'm working at a job that I'm not really qualified for and every time the boss calls me into the office I'm wondering is this going to be the moment where they realized that I have not been doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing the whole time it just happened to be working because God was making up the difference the angel of the Lord appears to Zacharias and I'm thinking to myself another reason why he had to be afraid is because everyone is outside praying and everyone knows exactly how this routine is supposed to go and now the angel of the Lord has appeared and perhaps he's wondering if he's messed it up and I'm thinking how people are on the outside looking in of our own lives and they think that everything is going as planned but on the inside we're just hoping that we have mess it up that I haven't said anything that's gonna go too far that I haven't done anything that's gonna rip the veil out from underneath me I'm just hoping that the people on the outside looking in recognize that I am just as nervous on the inside as they are on the outside and the angel of the Lord appears then says disaccharides that you and your wife you're going to have the child and he should be rejoicing but there was something about what he said and it made me realize why Zechariah's didn't rejoice when it begins in verse 13 it says do not be afraid Zechariah for your prayer is heard this is intriguing from me because earlier in Luca tells us that Zacharias and Elizabeth have given up on having children and they have come to a place of peace about it and they're still serving God righteously and so I wondered in this moment what prayer was it that the angel of the Lord was listening to and that God was answering and I realized that just because Zacharias and Elizabeth had buried that prayer didn't mean that God had buried it in heaven don't worry I'm coming I'm a drive right down your street God give me the tongue of the learn that I can go after every buried prayer that is represented in this room God I'm asking right hold on I need to go on my prayer cause that God I'm asking right now in the name of Jesus that buried prayers that have been buried for decades after decades are being touched right now by the power of your spirit because when the angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias he said I heard the prayer that you gave up on decades ago and when I heard this word from God I heard God say that there are people who are going to be coming to church on Sunday who have buried their prayers and I need you to tell them that buried prayers still reach heavens I'm gonna say it again until it gets so far down on the inside of you that Hale cannot take it away from you buried prayers still reach heavens here's what am I saying I'm saying that if God told you that you should start the business but life told you to give up that life is lying on what God said what I'm saying that if God told you to protect your heart and life said to give it away that life is lying about what God said God is not a man that he shall live he did not put that dreamed up on the inside of you so that disappointment could take it away I hear the angel of the Lord reaching down for somebody's prayer somebody's buried a prayer somebody's broken heart somebody who's given up on that child somebody who's giving up on that dream you may have buried it but God still sees it you may have been disappointed because it didn't happen on the timeframe that you thought it should happen so you gave up on it all together but I came here to tell you that buried prayers still reach heavens ears buried prayers still reach heavens ears that the resurrecting power the same power that raised Jesus from the grave can reach down past your excuses it can reach down past your walls it can reach pass down everything that you've gained to masquerade what you really desire and pull you out and say I know you still want I know you're still believing and I'm telling you that me and you the power of your prayer and the power of my spirit is enough to bring that dream back to life the angel the angel Gabriel tells him don't be afraid it's not over don't be afraid I'm not gonna pull the rug from underneath you don't be afraid I didn't bring you this far to leave you I actually brought you this far to catapult you into the next level of lesson don't be afraid don't be afraid I know people are walking away from you don't be afraid I know the opportunities aren't shaking the way that you wanted them to but I'm telling you don't be afraid I still have a plan don't be afraid you're still gonna give birth to something I feel that for somebody they're still see down on the inside of you it's not time for you to acquiesce and start living your life in a pattern and a routine God says I still have seed in the ground I still got seed down in your soul and the angel says to him don't be afraid Zechariah for your prayer is heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you shall call his name John and he goes on to say all of these incredible things about the birth and the son and what he's gonna do in the earth and this is verse 15 I want to qualify your prayer real quick before we get to happy I want to qualify your prayer because he tells Zacharias that your son will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb if you're wondering whether or not your prayer can come back to life all you have to do is ask yourself one question can my prayer be filled with the Holy Spirit can my prayer be filled with the Holy Spirit because if it can be filled with the Holy Spirit it can be resurrected like never before maybe when you were praying before you were praying for something that would make your name great I dare you to get crazy enough to start praying that God would resurrect the prayers that will make his name great when it becomes about establishing his kingdom and not establishing your name you will see wonder-working power you will see signs and wonders taking over your life you're not clapping the way I'm preaching because if you knew the Holy Spirit the way I knew him you would understand that there is no weapon formed against it that can prosper you would understand that everything is going to work together for your good if you understood the Holy Spirit that I'm talking about you would know that addiction can't hold it that the criminal justice system can't keep it in change if you knew the Holy Spirit I was talking about you wouldn't be worried about it come up from the man you would be asking God how can I get a come up from heaven I don't want my prayer resurrected from my own name I want to resurrect it for your glory and for your name and will not leave this temple until you do it if there was somebody crazy enough to start worshipping in this house like I am NOT leaving this place until the prayer that I had when I was a child it's filled with the Holy Spirit God filled my dream with your power God fill my dream with your spirit God I want to write books that change people's lives I want to start a non-profit that gets homeless people off of the street I don't want a million dollars for a big car I don't want a million dollars for a big house I want a million dollars so that I can end poverty in my neighborhood so that I can educate children on who to be in this world I want to do something for your glory and it's got to be filled with your spirit because I cannot do it by might and I cannot do it through my own power but if I could do it through your spirit if I could do it through your spirit generational curses could be broken if I could do it through your spirit then strongholds would come down if I could do it through your spirit then Hale will get nervous if I could do it with your spirit generational blessings could be the portion of my family I feel the presence of God in this place the only thing that you need in this moment is the Spirit of God hovering over every bread that comes out of your mouth Holy Spirit touch every buried printer Holy Spirit touch every idea touch every purpose Holy Spirit lift your hands if you're in LA and you know this is for you lift your hands if you're in Denver and you know this is for you Holy Spirit I bear it a dream but as this woman has been preaching there's been something striking down on the inside of me and I hear God's saying that it's time for me to open up that dream again it's time for me to take another look at that idea but this time I'm gonna take a look at it through the eyes of righteousness righteousness this time I'm gonna take a look at through the eyes of your spirit Jesus this is what you do when you're in a room this is the same power that took you off the cross and rolled a stone away God we need that same power over every prayer listen I was telling them in the earlier service that there's a story in Luke about a widow and a woman who has lost her son and they're going through with the funeral proceedings and as they're going through with the funeral proceedings Jesus just happens to be walking by and as Jesus is walking by the funeral procession she doesn't ask him for a miracle she doesn't ask him to do anything Jesus just notices that the casket is still open and because the casket is still open Jesus has direct access to the dead thing that he would bring back to life I know you built the walls I know you came up with the excuses but I'm telling you that the casket is still open and because the casket is still open God's power still has access to that thing that you buried and if you were there to begin to surrender in a way that you've never surrendered before if you were there to allow him access when you allow him access he'll do what he did to Zacharias and tell you that you don't have to be afraid that I heard that buried prayer I'm going to wrap up there's just one more point I want you to see it's the whole point of this entire text it is the reason why I believe that we have a responsibility to respond when God sends us a word so Zacharias is in the temple and the angel has given them given him this news and the first thing that that garage says is how shall I know this for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years that's what somebody in this room is saying I want to believe but I just need to know how what's going to happen I want to believe but I don't think that she understands everything that has happened to me I want to believe but I don't think she realizes how I'm not connected I don't think she realizes that I don't have the resources how is God going to do it I lift my hands I worship I praise but I need to know how what's going to happen and the angel answers gave angel and soo answers Zacharias and he says I am Gabriel who stands in the presence of God and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings but because that cariah's didn't believe he had to be mute and as I was dissecting this and studying and I asked God where did things go wrong he told me Sarah Zacharias wanted the angel to fit in the context of what Zacharias know when what Zechariah should have done was taken the word that I gave him and came up to the level of where that word is true if you want to know what this message is about and you don't remember anything else all I want you to know is that it is time for you to come up it is time for you to stop making your stop making God's plan fit in the context of what man understands and instead it is time for you to live in the realm where it's already done I know it doesn't look like it from this level but what God has promised me is already done in heaven God you don't have to say it twice God you don't have to send another word for me this isn't a word for everybody so I don't expect everyone to get it but this is a word for somebody who is tired try to make the miracle finish human Sanders I need a miracle from heaven and so I'm gonna go up to heaven I'm gonna live in a realm where I know it's already done I'm gonna create in a level where it's already done I'm on the comma baby I know it doesn't look like it because the life has been knocked out of me but God sent me a word and it resurrected our prayers out on the inside of me and I hear God saying you must come up you spent too long on the ground it's been too long worried and depressed come on in here daughter come out of here son get your strength back get your creativity back this stand up this world needs you to produce and you cannot produce it with the current mindset you have you can only produce it if you come up to the level where the word came from Gabriel said that stand in the presence of God Gabriel didn't say I stood in the presence and brought you the word God setup Gabriel said I learned how to straddle the fence where I can stand in the presence of God but also stand in the presence of men you got over here in the way he said it in the text Gabriel says I stand in the presence of God how is it that Gabriel and standing in the presence of God and standing in the presence of Zacharias at the same time unless he learned the way we're going to learn had a straddle the earth [Music] [Music] I'm on the comer I'm undercover and when Zacharias did not believe the angel silenced him because if you cannot come up then you gotta shut up because you cannot mess up what I'm trying to do on the earth I can't allow your disbelief to taxi captain what I'm doing in this earth somebody's got to tell somebody in the circle cuz you're going to start prophesying over your dream I feel the presence of God in this place you're going to start prophesied over your marriage and they're gonna tell you how is it gonna happen and you're gonna tell them if you cannot come up you won't have to shut up because I'm taking all of my belief and I'm throwing it in the direction of what God said to me my marriage is going to be healed and shut up my child is gonna be saying if you cannot come up shut up my book will be published shut up I'm starting a bit without respect you can't come in this season you gonna have to set up there was a one in a 2000 chance that Zacharias would be in the temple I don't know why but there was something about that 18 and that's being in 2018 and I feel these prophetically because I didn't do it in the other service I believe that God is gonna manifest 18 the buried prayers of people who had given up decades ago man I feel the presence of God I feel the presence of God I feel the presence of God la do you feel the presence of God in this room Denver leave know the presence of God in this year 2018 I know it looks like we're halfway through the year and things are going the way that they've gone every other year but I hear God saying that an angel just appeared in your circumstance that an angel is straddling heaven in your circumstance I feel the presence of God creating healing in your life another presence of God with multiple streams of income in your life if you decree and declare that this is your word I dare you to come up and reach for it I dare you to come up and worship like you're not gonna let it go in this place gods that I brought the word as low as it can go you're gonna have to reach in your face you're you're gonna have to come and worship [Music] you're standing under an open heaven what happens from here is up to you I dare you to start coming up I dare you to start pressing in the way that you were gonna press man had it happened when you wanted it to happen I dare you to start pressing in my god you've already done it I see it in this weird realm now God make heaven touch her on my behalf but I hear you to bury it I try to forget it but I have something so great that I haven't seen it that is haven't heard it nor has an incident to the hearts of man this is my church as usual but some of us this is resurrected power destroyed power [Music] man let's see if they mean it let's see if they need to say in person let's see if they need music to reach up it's time to come up it's time to come up it's time to come up can we have an old-school Church moment or do you need more people in here or do you need more bands to back you up it's time to come up it's time to come up god I'm tired of living the same way god I'm tired of being tired down I'm ready to come out of this thing I'm ready to experience your power I'm ready to experience your glory it's my turn God you did enough it's time for me to come up it's time for me to come up I wanted the miracle on this room but I gotta come up for it I gotta reach up for this thing yeah hallelujah thank you Jesus hallelujah thank you Jesus Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna you are my provider I'm coming up I don't have it in the natural realm but when you say you are my provider things are added unto me God you are my healer I need a doctor in the natural realm but with you all I need is a word all I need is a touch from you [Applause] man worship fill this atmosphere [Music] yeah I don't mind pressing fortune I don't mind pushing for it I gotta come up god I gotta come up I gotta come up in the way I think I gotta come up I gotta come up the addiction is holding me down I gotta come up I can't shake my past I gotta come up god I don't need you to come down any further I gotta come up this part is on me the ultimate come up is when I reach up to where you've come down when I come up to where you've come down that is the ultimate come up stretch me God stretch me stretch me stretch me God until I come up and I start looking like what you've formed in my mother's womb yeah this is a glory encounter this cannot be manufactured you cannot bottle this up and get it from the story this only comes when you remove every blockage that has been keeping you from pressing in and saying God have your way until it calls me hot you and changes my mind about who I can't become and what I can do and what can be birthed through me I don't want to just be a churchgoer I want to be a vessel for what God is doing in the earth and I can't do it on this level I gotta come up and every time life starts pulling me down every time my past starts pulling me down I gotta remind the earth that I don't live here any longer I came up I changed my mind about how I think about myself I changed my mind about what's holy and acceptable I changed my mind about my value and my birth I changed my mind month in a way that culture could never understand but we'll always be envious sir this is the comment I want to pray with you I want to pray with you I want to add my prayer to your prayer because some of you are already praying some of you decided that you didn't need me to say another word that you had it from here so I just want to add my faith to your faith spirit of the Living God it is so evident that this word was for this room it is so evident that you have purposed to resurrect buried prayers it is so evident that heaven is touching earth so God we surrender to this mighty touch and we ask that this touch would reach past all of our pain all of our excuses all of our second thoughts all of our fears all of our insecurities and now it would reach into the core of who you've called us to be and that it would produce and manifest a version of ourselves that we didn't even realize existed god we thank you that you heard the prayers we were praying when we were little kids and you took us through a process where we were willing to let go of the prayer but I hear God saying that it's time for us to pick him up God made clear to us the prayers that we are to pick up in this season make clear to us the prayers that have your spirit on them and give us the strength and the endurance to run with those prayers and to not grow weary and just because it was such a struggle for some of our mindsets to even shift I just want to prophesy that the seeds that have been planted in this room that the hedge of protection that has been covering them entire life will not leave in this moment I feel the presence of God Satan I rebuke every lie that you ever tried to put over their prayers Satan I rebuke every fear that you tried to masquerade over their prayer everything that ever left them stagnant I rebuke it and I send it back to Hell where it came from spirit of the Living God loose the chains off of their feet loose the chains off of their hands loose the chains off of their mind that they may be free and free indeed so that they can become your hands and your feet on this earth with no fears no boundaries and no limitations in Jesus name I pray amen [Applause] [Music] hey my friend I pray that that message blessed your life it blessed me for sure I want to also encourage you to pick up wholeness winning in life from the inside out this book is going to change your life god bless you I'll see you next time
