The Honor Code | Dr. Matthew Stevenson | You Will Bring Forth

open your Bibles to Luke the first chapter look the first chapter and Tory I'm gonna need you at one so don't go home Thank You Luke one 1 through 17 I'll read it and then preach it when I'm gonna read verses 1 through 17 in verses 39 3 45 we're going home Luke chapter 1 verse 1 says in as much as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered to us it seemed good to me also having followed all things closely for some time past to write a treatise account to you most excellent Theophilus that you may have certainty concerning the things that you have been taught and in the days of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah of the division of Abijah and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron a woman who served God her name was Elizabeth so her name was Elizabeth and they were both righteous before God walking blamelessly and all of the commandments and statutes of the Lord but they had no child because Elizabeth was barren and she was of great age now while he was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lots to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense and the whole multitude of the people were praying outside the hour of incense and there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense and Zechariah was troubled when he saw him and fear fell upon him but the angel said unto him do not be afraid Zechariah for your prayer has been heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you shall call his name John verse 39 of the same said chapter reads like this in those days Mary arose and went with haste into the healed country to a town in Judah and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth before I preached these last eleven minutes let me give you a word from the Lord God is about to send someone to your house I don't know if you understand what I just told you you don't know who you're about to know and you are about to have uncommon meetings with individuals that have capacity to shift you come on trust me people that say it's in my house it's coming to my house it's coming tomorrow come on I got 10 minutes and she entered the house of Zechariah that is so of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth and when Elizabeth heard the hello she had me at hello would Elizabeth heard the hello the baby leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost now the prophecy was that the child would be filled with the Holy Ghost from the womb but it looked like whatever was in the child came upon the mother she was filled with the Holy Ghost and she exclaimed with a loud cry blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb and why is this granted to me that the mother of my lord should come to me for the whole in the sound of your salutation came to my ears the baby in my womb leaped for joy and blessed is she who believed that there would be a performance of the things spoken to her by God Father I've got 9 minutes and 53 seconds you're going to have to help me through this I want you to look at somebody and say neighbor the baby is leaping we'll turn to somebody else and say neighbor that thing in you is about to leave I've got nine minutes I want to talk to you about something that is close to all of our hearts and something that no matter who you are or where you are or the type of life you live one of the very common human feelings we are all acquainted with is the sting of regret regret is something that shows up in different lives for different reasons for many people it's regret for others and from others for other people it's the regret of mistakes but I'm gonna tell you one of the most common ones one of the common regrets that we all face is what we didn't do when the time was right have you ever examined your life or your youth or your naivety or your immaturity and wished that you had more information or more money or more resource that's a very painful regret to look over your life and now know something that could have benefited you there's suddenly there's a feeling of remorse and deep seeded regret that comes on a life and our story gives us a very profound parable in that Elizabeth had two things working against her nobody ever preaches the Gospel according to Elizabeth they always go to Mary and subsequently sometimes at Cariah but Elizabeth has a story and a part of Elizabeth's story is the preamble to Pentecost because the 120 were not the first to receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost the Bible says that John the Baptist was filled from the womb in other words he became the precursor and the the beginning phenomena that would allow for Pentecost to happen in other words what God did in John and subsequently Elizabeth were the momentum markers for Pentecost and Elizabeth had two things working against her and and these two things are common and can be relatable to you if you're a man or if you're a woman she was barren there there is a knowledge of every one of their ability to produce something a career degree an idea a job we were born for production and we are raised very early trip with a knowledge of the obligation that we have to our family and ourselves to produce we are productive people the human story began in a productive environment we were in a garden to produce he gave us loins to produce and so this woman lived barren and that's not the real pain of the story in 6 minutes and 34 seconds the real pain of the story was she was barren and holy she was barren and righteous not as productive as the hell Yin her husband was not a backslidden man she was not a backslidden woman as a matter of fact the scripture is cleared that they both were righteous before God can you imagine the type of emotional strain that comes on a life who does everything right and cannot do I'm not a smoker I don't get drunk I'm not in fornication and there are those who make a lifestyle of those destructive habits and they produce easily it seems like they get opportunity and things come out of them they don't get resistance is there anybody in here that'll be honest and say my life has not been fair I just don't you don't want to tell the truth I I laid my life down for the Lord and it really feels like it could be deception but it really feels like in sin life was easier and as soon as I decided I was going to become a priest and and serve now remember Jarrett Elizabeth was from the seed of Aaron which meant that not only was she a servant her father was one her grandfather was one she was born into a lineage of people who upheld the house of God and God goes you and I have great material Benjamite for what to do when the devil attacks you but what do you do when you honestly feel like you've been robbed of your rights by the god of your salvation why can't I produce you don't want to tell the truth because you just got done shouting but we have all had moments when we have looked in the mirror brushed our teeth and said why are you not where you could be why are they on drugs and still have more money than you and why are they destructive and selfish and negligent and they've got a new car every week how is it that you sell crack and got more houses than me and I say the darn confession every week and Here I am and I have not produced if that were not enough to add insult to injury Isaac she was barren and the Bible says she was old she had two factors working against her her natural abatement life had had its way with her and she was up in age on other words she missed her season all of us know what to do when we are in our prime but what do you do when you looked up and your teens are gone your 20s are gone your 30s are gone and if you're in there you still have regret about what you were not taught and what you did not do and who did not invest of the opportunity that opened or the job that could have worked or the relationship that work and you look up now and you got two things fighting you I have not produced and I can I should have done that pre-marriage three kids pre-commitment I actually should have gone away I didn't get the chance to travel the world you got all of these tensions on the heart and suddenly suddenly suddenly here comes a knock on your door I want you to look at somebody I got three minutes until somebody all you need is a knock come on look behind you is somebody who's here is mess up say all you need is a knock come on I don't got two minutes I don't you ever ever underestimate the power of a knock wherever there is a door there will be a knock and knocks represent the arrival of news they arrive on the new some of you feel like you're undergoing life noise no it's just enough you're not stressed you're not frustrated something is knocking on your door for you to open it up so that your life can change in here's the wisdom and the revelation once we do this in two minutes and 22 seconds I love the fact that there is one woman who is carrying the Messiah another woman who is carrying the one who would open up the way from the Messiah and they had engaged each other after this not pay attention when you are barren or you feel like you've been delayed there's a couple of things you got to do the first thing you've got to resolve is your seeming is a sign for someone else say God is not in the business of keeping stuff away because he's not a stingy god look at somebody who needs some lotion and say he's not a stingy God in fact the Bible says it's the father's goodwill to give you the kingdom but what happens is if God knows that he can get more impact off of a traumatic story then he'll make your life dramatic just for the grand scheme of things now that's conflictual to you because you live in the moment but God lives for the moment and He will withhold something from you if that's something he would Hale becomes a sign to somebody else what I love about this is that when they came around each other we see a principle here that you've got to remember as we celebrate Pentecost if you have not produced and if you feel like you've missed the season to be as productive that you should have been when you can't do it and have it done it you have got to be in the environment of somebody who is doing it right I'm barren I'm old and here comes a teenage virgin she did it right so the right person or the one doing it right coming into my environment reverses my Baroness and my age literally reverses it now here's why what's in you I wish I had the time I got fifty seconds is location sensitive some things don't happen for you until you are in the right environment had Mary gone down the street to another relative nothing would have happened transactionally between Lizabeth or mary but the problem with pregnancy is only the pregnant understanding your problem is you're trying to bring forth around people who don't care if they do it don't you have got to find pregnancy support now in the first trimester carrying privately is okay but there's going to come when it's gonna be hard to hide now you're showing that you're changing something is proving in you something is moving in you you're having pains in places you didn't know her stop is adjusting you can't sleep you can't eat things just change it and it's time for you to stop hiding it you must find many people I'm talking to those of you that I bear Anna for those of you that don't feel as youthful as you should be find somebody who is carrying what you were called to carry get you in a house that has the insemination power to stir to shake and to move the thing that's growing any I want you to tap three people and tell them something's growing in me tell them come on find three people just tell them something's growing in me I want something's growing in me something's growing in me come on keep saying is something's growing in me someday and and a part of Pentecost is reminding you that something is growing in you you don't have to see it you don't have to understand that they didn't understand it they thought this boy should be Zacharias jr. the angel told him name it John even you may not completely identify the thing that has began to germinate in your life but this whole phenomena is about what God has put in your belly put your hand there put your hand and say in the name of Jesus I can man everything in me to be stirred come on come on say I command my potential to be stirred at you man my anointing to be stilled I command my ministry to be stirred come I commend my legacy to be still I have a word from the Lord for you everything in you is about to experience the visitation of God there is not a part of your existence that won't be filled with the Holy Ghost is going to be more than tongues it's going to be divine birth and for more than you more viewers gonna be more than one the war of your life is going to be over what's in you it's never going to be what people say it's never going to be that they don't like you what happens is Satan knows what's in you I wish I had the time there were prophecies that went on about John and Jesus for millennia so Satan had received notice before Mary and Elizabeth got here that when the fullness of time would come God was going to put something in somebody watch me who did not deserve it Who am I talking to he was going to put something and somebody who was not expecting for now you are experiencing warfare because there are people who were in line to try to earn what's in you and all you did was say yes to God you had no clue what you were saying yes to you had no clue who you were going to be assigned to you all of a sudden that surrender sent a supernatural series of results that brought intervention and interruption and holy disturbance into your life the way ever there is a divine disturbance there is a prophetic deposit God didn't call you off their job so you could twiddle your thumbs up God didn't make you go through a bloody divorce ah so you can sit up and be bitter when God causes a real pop because he's trying to get something in you that couldn't fit with the limited I wish I had help they couldn't fit with the limitations of the last season but I'm here to tell you prophetically something is definitely growing in you that's why you keep throwing up that's why you're vomiting that's why you're trying to get free up the thing in you has disrupted everything around you and the devil knows it and the devil knows but there ain't a thing you can do I got to go but help me please look at somebody tell him it's too late for him come on tell him it's not too late for you but it's too late for him you may feel like you had missed your season like you should have done more when you were single up or like you should have achieved more in another time I'm here to tell you Mary's about to be a performance and all the devil is about to do is sit up and watch and the Holy Ghost takes center stage he's about to take center stage and your purpose huh and your business up your children are going to grow if I harder your money is going to say Oh taste and some of you are about to watch your bank accounts crowd oohs you about to watch your dollars poppies and you go home tonight many of you are gonna check your account numbers up and sometimes don't be a look different you know God is getting paid for what you that enterprise is coming out that book is coming out of their houses are coming out that company is coming out the nations are coming Elizabeth was old and barren all she needed was one knock I want you to be sensitive to the new relational developments that are coming to your life now when I say new relational developments many of you think about people you don't know but some of you will have to know the people you know differently but to him that when I said it for many of you it will be a new connection but for many of you is going to be a new connection with a resource you used to dishonor Mary and Elizabeth were not strangers but this pregnancy Yaakov and Allie boring I produced a new regard for who they were you see when Mary got pregnant she was no longer look cousin Mary Elizabeth said blessed are you and Elizabeth was an old woman talking to a teenager and humbled her you don't want to have Church humbled herself - one less experienced one less qualified one married less and says blessed are you the miracle of this is this you can be around relationships that are capacitated to bless you and if you don't recognize it you put restriction on the resource but when the Lord can open your eyes to what he is sent around you look down your role everybody that got money don't look like they got money there may be people in your current contact list I'm trying to call you out of discouragement some of you are frustrated cuz you like I just need I just need to tell you you have access to more than what you are aware of what you gotta do is allow God to open your eyes so that was in you can't come all the way honor is an easy way to induce labor I said honor is an easy way or Sando beaucoup Maria da da oh oh I feel this thing honor will induce your labor other will induce your labor you could be miserable because of what you're carrying I mean if you ever have known a woman great will child is a biblical term they're fine in the second trimester they didn't learn how to lay didn't develop certain adaptive strategies to keep their comfort but something happens going into the tent with a light I just want this out it used to be don't touch me at this point I don't even like this kid at this point and no matter how late watch me I cannot get comfortable you will know when you are about to produce because there is a harsh absence of company you won't know when this thing is too big for Jess you because no matter if you lay on your right I can hear ya if you lay on your Lanza if you talk more if you're homeless if you're joining these team no matter what I do God has taken my because you can't be comfortable and produce your comfort may be costing you your productivity God is about to make an enemy of every comfort zone in your life every safety mechanism every excuse every personality trait everything you've been hiding your potential under is about to come under divine fire those of you your rights to your personality are coming under fire because God is looking for worse in you so he don't care that was coming out your mouth can already be love it up you are about to produce up whether you like it or not you are coming under prophetic pressure you are coming on the strong antagonism and God is about to open your eyes to those around you who are carrying like you do any pregnant people you'll never be supported or honored by those that are not produced the unproductive cannot honor the productive so it makes sense that the holy ghost would come upon somebody who desires to produce and then miraculously arrange for conversation conversation here's a prophetic warning don't make the mistake of missing the conversation some of you are stuck emotionally financially relationally psychic psychologically is because of a conversation that needs to be had and it doesn't need to be had with everybody it needs to be had but people who are as productive as you are see some of you are in grief because you've expected a conversation but if I've never been pregnant and you start talking to me about symptoms and problems and where you get that pillow from and all of that I'm not gonna have a grid for anything you're talking about I don't know what a Braxton Hicks is I don't know that pain but there are people that God is anointed for your life whole environments that have been positioned around you for productive and support what month are you you have stretch marks those are the scars of productivity all of them are not supposed to go away I wish I had to help some of them are supposed to serve as reminders of when the Lord called you to bring forth will close with this shall I bring you to the labor room and yet neglect what I brought forth if you grab somebody real tight and tell them you will bring for now don't say it like you're biting Apollo I want you to say it was a mythology you Oh brave thought you need to be reminded you need to be reminded because you're pregnant but you don't feel it yet it's too early but that thing is in you as surely as Jesus as real [Music] I don't care how many seasons you feel like you missed I don't care what happened to you we don't know why Elizabeth was barren she could have been born that way or it could have happened to her by trauma but it doesn't matter what happens to you when the Holy Ghost comes on hear the Holy Ghost has the power to whatever happened happened to cause you to bleep off slap somebody upside the head er telling you we're grateful [Music] you will break well grateful and you're not going to bring forth a preemie you're not going to have a breech birth some of you are pregnant but was in us situated the wrong way there is a shifting of that pig and some not talking to the thing is in you is just not sitting right God is changing how the thing is positioned in you because he wants it to come out watch me head first he wants it to come out here to first head first why you are the head not the tail yeah [Music] [Applause] prophesy met on this house this is a season of unprecedented productivity stop crying over college stop crying over parental stuff come out of the grips of regrets it's only going to keep you barren pay attention to what you have in your power to do now and if you don't know what to do just open the door somebody's nice there's an anointing knocking there's a relationship knocking there's a father knocking there's a mother knocking there's a mentor knocking there is an investor knocking somebody's knocking don't be so dysfunctional and so paranoia and so afraid of failing that you don't open the door harden not your heart Sapta lon and he's coming in through a number of ways you will produce you will produce you

Baroness you will produce in this season in your life you don't need a fountain of youth when you have the Holy Ghost he holds your times you will bring forth no more fear no more doubt but get in position I get the crying of lads in the distance in the crying of newborn babies in the distance all nations something something is coming out of here there is a new species coming something is being born a type of book we've not seen a type of company we've never recognized a type of anointing we have no definition for yet what's coming out of you is going to be fresh who am I talking to it will not be a repeat it will not be a redo it will not be a redone but it's going to be fresh that's why you're so frustrated because you are the example huh you are the example it's going to be fresh people are going to say nobody's ever done it that way and they think that's going to disqualify you but that's gonna be what positions you'e I don't know buddy's done it this way I know doing it this way done did you but it's going to be clash wanna be charged [Applause] yeah man father let your glory be in this building like a smoke and heal your people of marinus [Music] produce people produce
