The Transplant - Bishop T.D. Jakes | The Pacemaker Series

[Music] [Applause] first samuel 15 7 when you have his amen and saul smote the amalekites from havillah unto thou until thou cometh to shore that is over against egypt and he took agag the king of the amalekites alive and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword but saul and the people spared a gay and the best of the sheep and of the occident of the fatlings and the lambs and all that was good and would not utterly destroy them but everything that was vile and refused that they destroyed utterly then came the word of the lord unto samuel saying it repenteth me that i have set up saul to be king i want to pause right there that's an interesting phrase it repented me that i have set up saw to be king god doesn't repent but it's an anthropomorphic term he's trying to use something you do understand to explain something that you might not understand it repenteth me in other words i've gone in another direction i've turned around i moved in another direction but he's using uh an anthropomorphic term to explain it it reprinteth me that i have set up saul to be king for he has turned back from following me and have not performed my commandment and it and it yeah that's right it grieves samuel and he cried unto the lord all night long to meet samuel to meet saul in the morning it was told samuel saying saul came to carmel and behold he set him up a place and is gone about and passed on and gone down to gilgal and samuel came to saul and saul and samuel came to saul and saul said unto him praise the lord like everybody does around here praise the lord i have performed the commandment of the lord lion and samuel said what meaneth then this bleeding of the sheep in mine ears and the lowering of the oxen which i hear if you did what god told you to do which was utterly destroy the amalekites and all of their possessions how come i hear some noise coming from the bottom of the field i hear a shout out i hear some sounds that you have not killed everything uh-huh yeah yeah yeah now go to 16-1 and the lord said unto samuel how long without mourning for saul saying i have rejected him from reigning over israel fill thine horn with oil and go and i will send thee to jesse the bethlehemite for i have provided me a king among his sons i want you to read that again because that that that is good and the lord said unto samuel put your name where samuels is how long will you mourn for saul saying i have rejected him from reigning over israel how long will you be bitter how long will you be depressed how long will you be stuck at the same spot how long will you stand there with no joy and no peace and no power how long will you live in regret and shame and remorse how long how long now now whenever god asks a question it's always a setup because he already knows the answer how long will i mourn for saul saying i have rejected him from reigning over israel fill thine horn get up from there get yourself together pull your britches up on your hind parts and fill thine horn with oil and go somebody shout go i will send thee to jesse the bethlehem i for i have provided me a king among his son wait and the lord said unto samuel how long will i mourn for 2018. seeing i have rejected it from reigning over you fill thine horn with oil and go somebody i'll go and i will send me the to jesse to bethlehem i for i have provided me a king among his sons shout hallelujah i want to talk from the subject the transplant the transplant is going to make sense in a minute the transplant sweet holy spirit breathe in this place this morning saturate this place with your glory infiltrate this place in such a way that all the inhabitants in this building might be filled with your holy ghost drive by every evil and corrupt thing and demonic intent and plot and plan and totally annihilated as you establish yourself as king of kings and lord of lords i thank you for what you're going to do have your way in this place in jesus name somebody who loved him shout amen you may be seated in the presence of the lord now i'm gonna do a quick review for all of you who really don't know your bible that good but you fake like you do but you don't and so you don't really know what's really going on in the story you just holler when everybody else hollers it's kind of like me watching certain sports when i watch them i don't really know who's winning or not i just holler when everybody else do that way you don't look bad i understand your dilemma but i'm going to breathe into you some information so you can understand we are looking at the first king of the children of israel the first king why is it the first king is the first king because they've had 400 years of being enslaved down in egypt and when god brought them out he brought a crowd out of egypt but he had to turn them into a people a crowd is not a people he brought a huge amount of people out but he had to turn him into a nation i told a preacher the other day just because you have a crowd don't mean you have a church there's a difference between a crowd and a church i came to dollars i had a crowd in the first sunday it took me five years to turn the crowd to a church the process of becoming takes time you you're born a male but it takes a long time to be a man come on somebody you're born a female but it takes a long time to be a woman you got married in 30 minutes but it may take you 30 years to really be [Applause] it takes time for for those things that are said quickly to really happen in your life and it has taken time and a process and initially they were led by the lord as a pillar of fire and a cloud of smoke and they had no physical physical king and moses judged their issues and set up their ordinances and their statues and their commandments but they had no physical king now look at influence they looked at the other people the other people had kings the other nations around them had kings and they desired a king and finally god yielded to their request and he gave them a king but god did not really want to give them a king because he thought himself to be their king sometimes god doesn't give you something because he thinks he's it they didn't hear it they can't handle it every single woman in this room should have gone to dancing right there every single young man should have went to shouting all over the church but they didn't hear what i'm saying that sometimes god doesn't give you the lesser because he's given you the greater and he said i i think myself to be your husband that's why i opened doors and made ways for you that's why i fought your battles for you and made the crooked path straight for you because i thought myself to be your husband but if you insist i will give you what you want but be careful about getting what you want because sometimes you don't want what you got so saul finally so the people god finally relented and he and he gave them saul and saul was never god's uh intent it was the people's request and saul became the king of israel so saul has been following the lord and leading the children of israel because they wanted to be like everybody else and saul did some good stuff because you can be out of god's will and still see some good stuff sinners get jobs y'all [Applause] sinners have children lord sinners buy houses you don't have to be saved to experience progress you don't have to be obedient to experience progress heathens experience progress backsliders experience progress so progress is not always an intent it's not always a signal that you're in his perfect absolute will [Applause] so god told saul to tell saul to go down and kill the amalekites who are there malachite the amalekites are these group of people that have been fighting israel all across the wilderness the moment they left egypt they jumped on them and started fighting them it's a continuation of an age-old fight between jacob and esau the amalekites are descendants of esau and so they're still fighting the jacob is dead he saw then they still fighting descendants to fight inbred hatred in fact today they're still fighting amongst themselves the war the war and the conflict in the middle east is just as biblical leave relevant as in as a newspaper they're all connected one with the other the fight continues somebody say the fight continues god told uh god told him to go down towards saul to go down there and totally destroy the amalekites and when god says totally destroy something he means totally destroy it don't save a handkerchief don't save a pocketbook don't take a scarf for yourself god wants you to totally destroy it he wanted saul's obedience sets him in rhythm with god saul's obedience sets him in rhythm with god let me show you what thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven it sets him in obedience with god it sets him in a place of submission to god that sets him into a place of surrender but saul we went down there and saw was kind of slick and so he he killed all the stuff nobody would want and he kept all the stuff that looked good and he didn't kill a gag the king and god told him to kill again he didn't kill a gay and he didn't he didn't kill all the stuff that he thought he could get something for he didn't kill it he did not wholly follow the lord and because he did not wholly follow the lord god speaks to samuel who is his prophet and says i want to talk to you about saul i'm sick of saul god says saul has plucked my last nerve i told him to go down there and kill a gag and to kill everything involving the amalekites and he has not wholly followed me and i'm sorry i ever did it i repent that i ever put him into that position and without him having to say anymore samuel knew right then that god was going to make a change because samuel has walked with god to the point that god didn't have to explain everything for samuel to know what he means [Applause] i told somebody the other day when my wife starts talking a certain kind of way i know she's getting ready to make a decision if she brings it up twice i know the person is gone i know her she don't ever tell you she gonna do it not like outright she just mentions it and when she mentions it i start praying because i know it's a bad sign i got the reputation of being the fire in the fury but that's the fire and the fury back there when when you walk with somebody a long time they don't have to explain themselves for you to know what they're on the precipice of doing are you understanding what i'm saying god says it repented me that i've ever made saul king he said now i'm gonna do something about it and here's where i want you to really zoom in because i want you to understand something about samuel samuel is an interesting guy because the bible says samuel started crying and the bible says he cried all night i want you to understand this this will help you to identify real prophets the prophets who prophesied trouble in your life and rejoice when they prophesied are lying prophets [Applause] in order to truly be a prophet there is such a level of humility that even when you do have to say something harsh it hurts you so bad to say it oh y'all hear what i'm saying to you samuel cried all night about something that didn't personally affect him he cried all night because god had said i rejected saul from being king and he started weeping and yet while he was weeping he still went to walking he was tender enough to weep but he was strong enough to walk right up on the king and say thus saith the lord look look at that balance the one thing you want to be as a man and as a woman too is balanced you want to be balanced some people are all strength and no compassion some people are all compassion and no strength but the sign of maturity is to be balanced not going to either extreme every man every woman every leader in this room ought to be praying every day lord give me balance a couple of sundays ago i use this scripture let your moderation be made known unto all men the lord is at hand moderation not going to either extreme lord let me be balanced somebody say that lord let me be balanced let me buy don't let me execute judgment quicker than i execute mercy don't let me be better at disciplining as a child than i am at loving him because if you discipline better than your love you're not fathering you're abusing. and the child knows the difference i can stand your hand a correction if it has held me first if it has hugged me first if it has comforted me first then when the correction comes it's not abuse oh it's quiet in here let me be balanced that that is a sign of maturity it's balance when you are immature you're not balanced you're not fair you have no equilibrium god wants you to be balanced i just tell people what's on my mind that's how i am i just tell them why what's on my mind that's why you don't have nobody left in your life [Applause] i speak my mind if you're gonna be with me you just got to get used to it no you're gonna be alone because by the time you get to speak in your mind you're going to bark everybody away and then cry because they're gone because you need to be balanced lord make me bow and one of the way anytime you want to know whether something is balanced or not you have to you have to test it to see if it's balanced so i'm not asking you do you think your balance you need to ask the people around you are you balanced because they will be honest with you about being balanced better than you can trust yourself to be balanced put yourself on the scale do i criticize you more than i comfort you do am i quick to give you compliments but i never tell you the truth when things are wrong lord let me be balanced lord let me be valid if i'm not balanced i can't make it and and what i want you to see about samuel is is is this this nature that samuel has is one of the things that i love most about jesus is that we serve a god who is balanced we serve a god who is fair he is a lamb and a lion and there are some things that god did as a lamb that he couldn't do as a lion and there are some things he did as a lion that he couldn't do as a lamb he could not redeem the world by roaring sometimes we are roaring when we ought to be whimpering and sometimes we whimper when we ought to be roaring when it came to redeeming the world he came as a lamb when it comes to claiming the world he comes as a lion lord teach me when to roar everybody in this room is more comfortable with one side of yourself than the other there are some people that are real comfortable with their lamb side but uncomfortable with their lying side so they avoid conflict they won't confront issues they act like things are okay that are not okay these are the kind of people that divorce you and you don't even know why you got divorced you didn't have an argument you didn't have a confrontation they fixed breakfast that morning brought you to paper you came home from work and they was gone [Applause] they are comfortable with big lambs but not lions they avoid confrontation lord make me balance then there are other people that are such a lions they roar about everything they roar about everything but they don't understand the power of tenderness they don't understand that sometimes it's if you are more effective when you are less explosive and they keep on trying to get the right result going about it the wrong way and they become lunatics because if you keep doing the same thing expecting a different result you're a lunatic how is it working for you don't tell me how you are tell me how is it working for you everybody that god used in a mighty way was balanced they didn't go to either extreme oh you quiet early i must be hitting on something if i'm going to step on your toe i might as well break it off let me get on down there where i could really just just really get it good because normally by now you'll be dancing but all of a sudden you got real quiet nothing no worse than having a parent that's not balanced always complaining always tough couldn't buy a hug from them you couldn't buy a hug to save your life and if there's anything worse than that it's apparent that's hugging all the time and they need to be corrected lord let me be balanced that's if i don't go any further we need to get right there lord let me be balanced as i go into 2019 let me be balanced any most of the places that you're having trouble you're having trouble because you're out of balance if you spend more than you make yeah you should have shouted when i was talking about i had to get off it it's your fault you're making me dig this out you did this to yourself your finances reflect the fact that you're not balanced if you like spending money more than you like making money if you shop more than you work and then you pray and say lord i just need you to get me out no you don't need god to get you out you need to be balanced your books don't balance because you're not balanced you're not valid any area where you're out of balance you're gonna suffer if if my body's out of balance i'm gonna develop pain where i'm not balanced if i walk leaning on one side more than the other after a while i'm going to have problems with my back and my spine because i'm out of balance i don't have to be attacked to have pain all i have to do is be out of balance the greatest prayer you may pray this entire year is to balance me sometimes you're out of balance because if if you try to balance yourself by something that's out of balance you're going to be out of balance that's why they make a level they make a level so you can put it on something when the bubble's in the middle you know your balance you follow what i'm saying because you cannot balance yourself by something that's out of balance and some of you balance yourself by parents that were out of balance so you became workaholics and that became normal but normal doesn't mean balance so your ideas about marriage and about relationship are based on what balanced you and there you are trying to straighten somebody out about how to be a husband and how to be a wife when in reality you don't know what you're talking about either and your lack of humility how do you know how what a good father have you been one did you even have one yet you got all kinds of opinions about what to be one the truth of the matter is you're out of balance and humility would bring you before god and say lord i know i don't know how to do this and i'm gonna need you to teach me balance oh lord why didn't you give me something juicy for the end of the year [Applause] i came up in a day we were just going into public schools and integration had just started and the old teachers of my culture were used to the colored schools and them teachers was tough you didn't they throw the apple at you or something they just they went after you they were tough but they were committed to you learning something they were they were vested in you getting an education it was important that you get an education they went to extremes but they were committed to the cause you have to understand in order to be balanced you have to constantly be measuring yourself i guarantee you that at least 50 of your problems are coming because you're out of balance in whatever area whether it's sexually [Applause] because you have replaced sexuality for intimacy you you you need more and more and more and more because it will never scratch what's really itching because you're replacing sexuality for intimacy because you've lost the courage to open up and connect with people and you are out of balance and so you keep getting further and freakier and further out i'm going to keep looking up i don't want to look at anybody i don't want to look at anybody i don't want to look at anybody because anytime you're out of balance oh you're waking up now okay stay with me we're going to get there in a minute anytime you're out of balance you go to extremes you're 50 years old 60 year old chasing people like you're 20. [Applause] all out i have to take something for your backs where you go out and take something for your eyes and get your glasses and get your cup take your vitamin and drink your energy drink and then take a blue pill and a red pill and a yellow peel and then you have to talk about say hey you're dropping it like it's hot but you don't own your house you don't have no life insurance you don't have no place to stay you don't have no backup plan you understand what i'm saying you're out of balance you're wearing what you ought to be investing so you have no strategy for the future because you're out of balance any area you balance you're going to become more successful you said you want to have a better next year than you had last year seek violence in the areas where you're out of balance seek it i'm not gonna say you master it but at least seek violence seek to be bound don't say everything you think don't buy everything you want don't buy your wants and beg your needs and then tell me tithe that doesn't work it's not that the tithe is not working is that you're not working god can't keep pouring his blessing into somebody that has no restraint no self-control no temperance no money don't blame god for your dysfunction [Applause] [Music] oh this is some teaching that we need to hear this is some teaching that we need to hear because it's it's one thing to look prosperous and it's another thing to be prosperous some of the most prosperous people i know don't even look prosperous they driving a honda running around there you driving a mercedes and don't have a garage to park it in i'm gonna keep looking straight ahead you you should hurry up and shout because until you start shouting i'm gonna stay right on this i'm not going nowhere [Applause] samuel was balanced sammy was balanced sammy was balanced i tell people who watch me in the ministry i said you can watch me preach you're only seeing one side of it leadership is more than preaching so you can wear my clothes you can talk like me you quote scriptures like me you're not going to get results because you're not seeing the other half of the scale that balances that it's not what you do up front that makes something successful is what you do behind the scenes oh my god i feel like running i feel like running can you handle this can you handle this it's the things that you do behind the scenes that causes that thing to be functional it's the little things samuel was balanced nobody but god saw him cry all night but the crying all night let you know why god trusted him with with the access to the king he trusted him because samuel's heart was open toward god god will bless you if he can trust you [Applause] oh can i take some time with you this morning it's the last sunday of the year god will bless you if he can trust you god can't bless people he can't trust i can't give you i got some money in my pocket i want to give it to you but there ain't no need to be giving it to you if i know you're going to run to the mall god will bless you if he can trust you i got some power i want to give you but if you don't use the power to chase the woman in the church i'm not going to give you the power i got some influence i want to give you but if your influence is going to lead to corruption i'm going to have to hold your career back because i can't trust you [Applause] can god trust you with what you've been praying for can he trust you with the power with the influence can he trust you with the stage can he trust you or do you just want the power to feed the dysfunction you won't fix cause you're out of balance the secret to samuel's mission is that samuel's heart was open toward god i don't have time in this setting but i could show you scripture after scripture where god bless people according to their heart i will show you why joseph was chosen over all of his brethren because joseph was the only brother that god could trust that once he got up he wouldn't get revenge he knew that he could trust joseph to get there first because joseph wasn't selfish he knew that joseph would be forgiving he knew that joseph would be compassionate he knew that joseph would not be vengeful sometimes because you must have revenge it's delayed your whole life because god couldn't promote you because if he gave you any power you would use it to get even with people that it didn't even matter and he couldn't trust you nobody no let me tell you something i got a little bit of money in the stocks and mutual funds and they kept going down and going down and going down i got on the phone i said pull all all my money and i get a good amen and put it in bonds that are safe and take them out of the funds and the stuff and the high risk my risk tolerance is over i'm gonna wait till the storm is over and i will i will be back and the man told me he said if you just ride the storm it'll be i said i'm too old to ride if i was 30 i could ride it out but at 61 you messing with my retirement the devil is a liar you ride if you want to i'm getting off right here i pull the cord and jump off the bus and say when it calms down i'll be back yeah yeah you know why i did it i couldn't trust it [Applause] wonder what god has pulled out of because you you fluctuate too much [Applause] wonder what he would have given you if he could trust you he told israel it's not me it's you how oft would i have gathered you as a hen does her chicks but you weren't not you i couldn't do it cause of you it wasn't that it wasn't my will to do it i couldn't do it because of you you're not stable i could tell you secrets but i can't trust you see law now samuel confronts saul and he says the kingdoms have been rent for you and samuel reaches out to uh saul reaches out to grab samuel to get him to come back and and rinse his garment and samuel says just as surely as you have rent my garment so shall the kingdoms be rent from you you're not going to bully me o king the lord has spoken and this is done and he walks out the door with his garment ripped but his integrity intact [Applause] his garment was ripped but but his integrity was intact your marriage might have been ripped but your integrity was intact you might have lost your job but your integrity was intact don't don't grieve about what you lost if you held your integrity some some things are worth more than money or friendship or resources my integrity's intact if you're my friend i'm gonna tell you the truth if we stop speaking we stop speaking but i told you the truth i told you the truth i told you the truth you understand my integrity is intact this is important and now saul has confronted uh samuel has confronted saul and saul has been basically rejected now i want to show you something saul is the king he is the heart of israel he's a very my heart sends blood to every part of my body is affected by my heart that's right every part of your organization is affected by your leader your leadership is everything if the restaurant goes down don't blame the waitress the only reason she gets to act like that is poor leadership come on come on that's good [Applause] i've traveled all over the world and i can tell you right now that churches take on the personality of their pastor if the pastor is arrogant the church is arrogant if the pastor is not friendly the church is not friendly if the pastor is high-minded the church is high-minded when you meet the pastor you've met the church you know why you can teach what you know but you can only reproduce what you are come on with me come on with me come on you can teach what you know but you can only reproduce what you are so if the leader is a certain way you reproduce what you are we got entrepreneurs all over this church all over this church people opening up some kind of with i i got a braid and coming i braid hair i got a weed factory i weave you know what you i reproduce all the entrepreneurs all at your boy you understand me you're not offended by me i speak your language the people who are offended by me are not kin to me and no need in you trying to explain yourself to somebody who doesn't speak your language oh my god i'm giving you so much good stuff today you understand you you've been seeking to be accepted by people who are who are not you they don't have what you have they don't get you everything that's yours will come to you everything that's not yours will be repelled from you are you hearing what i'm saying to you are you hearing what i'm saying to you the leader is the heart of the organization for god to say that he he he is getting rid of saul is a heart transplant it's a heart transplant that's a major dead gum surgery that's a major surgery a heart transplant to put me to sleep and take my heart out destabilizing all activity yes don't move anesthesiologists total control we are going to have to go through this transition because you can't just snap my heart out and put the other one in without skipping a beat so my text is right in the middle of a transplant and the reason i'm preaching it to you on the last sunday of the year is that you're going through a transplant oh my god some of you been in a coma you've been in a financial coma some of you you've been in a love coma you haven't had the affection that you needed the love that you needed the finances that you needed god had to put you up under anesthesia because he has to get to the heart of the matter and he's doing a heart transplant because you were ruled by the wrong stuff you were ruled by your dysfunction you were trying to prove things to people that didn't even matter and god has put you up under anesthesia and brought you to this church so that he could do a heart transplant in your life so that he could pull you together and do a hypothetical and so that he could do it so that he could do a new thing in you so that he could do a new thing in you the former things are passed away god said i will do a new thing in you glory to god glory to god glory to god you're not just going to have a new year with a new date to remember on the calendar you're going to have a new heart god's about to do a transplant oh help me preach this word see that old heart was the root of the problem that old heart has to be taken out that old heart was out of rhythm with god that old heart is getting a pulse beat from your childhood that old heart is getting a pulse beat from your ego that old heart is getting a pulse beat from your low self-esteem and god has to do a heart transplant he has rejected the old heart he says i will do a new thing in your life a fresh thing who am i preaching to this morning oh i couldn't wait to get to church because i've got a word from the lord for you this morning i don't care if you don't dance i don't care if you don't shout i don't expect you to shout we're in surgery we're in surgery we're in surgery something is about to happen touch everybody you can reach and tell them something is about to happen am i preaching the right word to the right people hallelujah put your friends out send them to the waiting room they cannot go through this with you this is a heart transplant you don't need to have to entertain people while you're going through a heart transplant this is not about you boo going to the waiting room i'll be back in a minute god has to do some surgery in my heart and in my life to get my head on straight something is about to happen in my life he's about to fix something that's been out of rhythm for 30 years for 40 years i've been aching in this area i've been swelling in this area i've been broken in this area but god is about to do a transplant somebody give him two minutes of crazy [Applause] [Music] get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it get to the heart of it if you if you give me just a few weeks if you give me a few weeks to to open this up because this the reason i had you touch somebody and say something is about to happen is because a heart transplant is a process [Applause] it's a process it's a long hard difficult surgery with hours and hours of intensive care and recovery is going to take a while you're going to have to go through something to get you can't get over this in a week this is a deep surgery this goes back to who your daddy is and who your mama is and where you came from and what you thought of yourself and what you went through we're gonna have to cut out them secrets and some of those sorrows because they're setting your heart off rhythm they're making you call right wrong and wrong right and i got to get to the heart of the matter can i go deeper [Applause] in my text samuel samuel is crying because this is going to be a tough surgery i wrote down three reasons we grieve the past three reasons we read the past i think these are worth talking about we grieve the past because the investment seems not to yield a return for all that samuel had put into saul he had anointed saul to be king he had nurtured saul and trained him he had poured into saul and invested in him he had spoken the word of the lord to saul and for saul to now be rejected it makes samuel weak anytime you invest without adequate return you grieve the past whether it be a child or a marriage or a job or a career or a mentee any time you say i put that much into it and this is all i get back it makes you weep because the return don't match the investment i spent hours with you for you to do this i took a second job to send you to school for you to skip i gave you my heart my mind myself my body my flesh you left you grieve the past because the investment does not match the return samuel could not act like this is saul's business because samuel had poured in the saw you can't pour into somebody and not care about them you can't do that there's no trust me i tried it there is no safe way to do this you have to be all in there's no way i can walk you through your pain and your problems and your childhood and your past and not feel you and not laying the bed and worry about you and not tear up when i'm talking to you i can't i can't help you from a completely safe place i have to care to connect you won't let me in if i don't care there is no way that samuel could have anointed him and mentored him and trained him and not grieve him you grieve most areas in your life where you feel cheated where you invested the most some of the people you're angry with you're not really angry with them you're hurt because you invested it's okay baby i had five of them i'm used to preaching while they pulling on my clothes and stuff i'm good investing in an area in your life where you don't see return will cause you to be stuck stuck in bitterness stuck in anger stuck in pain how could you do me like that i gave you all i had i gave you my time i took time from my kids to help you i took time for myself to help you i gave you money i needed i came to your rescue at the expense of my own [Applause] that's why i said is crying reciprocity if i sow shall i not reap if a plant shouldn't i gather you gonna take and go to her you gonna take my stuff and go to him you gonna drive my car to meet him come on come on oh i'm gonna get you stay with me i'm i'm coming right to you i'm coming right to you they they say i can make the bible come alive i know how to make the bible come alive i want you to feel why samuel cried he had invested in saul he couldn't just detach and walk away any time you feel robbed or returned you weep oh y'all quiet i love the quiet part of this house number two the reason we grieve is the agonizing death of what we had in mind that hit me it's my stuff and it still hit me the agonize the uh the agonizing slow death of what you had in mind this is not what samuel had in mind for us all and the reason you grieve is because it hurts to see what you had in mind and it won't just like die see the problem with saul god rejected him but he was still on the throne that negro still on the throne excuse me white people [Applause] i just want to talk to you all for a minute he's still on the throne he's still driving my car he's still going on he's still on facebook the agonizing death of what you had in mind is tormented by the survivor by the survival of the person who's been rejected i got to look at you kill my dream you killed how my story was supposed to end the death of what i had in mind will make me cry when nobody's looking you were in my story the prophet y'all get this the king ain't crying he doesn't trip the guy who lost the kingdom ain't crying the prophet is crying why is the prophet crying and the king not crying it's because the prophet had more vision than the king [Applause] you will get healed when you let go of what you had in mind you you will not be healed because you let the person go or the place go or the city go or the ministry go you will only be here when you let go of what you had in mind i don't care how many new years you have if you still got old ideas you won't have new years [Applause] can i talk to you my god god gave me something to give you i just want to give this is just my opening god says you can't have new years with old ideas you have to let go of what you had in mind to be open and available for what's next you can't have a new year because the calendar changed this is this is the death of what saw what samuel had in mind and i'm telling you personally what i know what you had in mind don't die easy i'm telling you first given honor to god especially if you're a strong-willed tenacious relentless person and you just gonna make it happen come hell i wanna ride a dime and ride with you you you can't ride by yourself so preacher don't tell me that i gotta kill what i had in mind and not tell me how to kill it okay i i had this conversation maybe i should i won't even tell it's interesting who i had it with but i won't tell that in public but i had the conversation with this person and they were talking about i surrender all the hymn all to jesus i surrender all to him [Music] freely give you know that i'm telling [Music] the girls [Music] surrender all my life i've known that song since i was a child all my life when i hear that song i hear an author call yeah yeah and whenever i sing it i'm inviting people to jesus but my friend is not as churchy as me so she doesn't hear what i hear she says i love the song because i surrender at all to jesus my future my plans my goals my thoughts i surrendered what i had in mind and i never heard the song the same again because now i realize that it's not just about coming to jesus it's about giving him what i had in mind i surrendered [Music] blessed for some of you it's who you thought you marry or where you thought you live or the position you thought you have in life in church here there anywhere you you have a certain way you think all of everything ought to be it's making you sick [Music] [Music] oh whatever you want to do with it whatever you want to do with it take it or leave it make it or break it reshape it or remove it i'm not going to try to control it i release it into your hands your thoughts are better than my thoughts your ways are better than my ways i give it to you lord i've been worshiping but holding on to it i've been singing but holding on to it i've been raising my hands but holding on to it i have held this thing through the flood and the storm and the winds and the waves i have held it i go to bed with it i get up with it i take a shower with it i drive to work with it i have never let it go people tried to talk me out of it i still held on onto it but today lord i hear your word coming into my spirit and while the anointing is in this house i am not going to carry this thing any longer [Music] oh [Music] i was told a story about a hulk and the hulk saw a vole it's like a mole and it's and it hunts the hulk is a hunter they scoop down and snatch the mole of it and start climbing with it holding it to its breast with his talons and it was flying and flying and flying and flying and flying and flying holding it on holding on to what it captured and when it got real high in the air it started falling and the kids ran the sea they ran to see where the hulk fell and when they found the hulk the hulk's chest had been cut open and it was bleeding [Music] the mole had bit into its chest and killed the hulk something that should have been left on the ground killed something that should have been in the air [Applause] something that was small kill something that was big not because it was greater or or mightier not because it could fly or nothing it killed a hulk because the hulk wouldn't let it go [Applause] what are you holding that's killing you sorry [Music] [Music] lift your hands just a moment and let the holy spirit deal with you just a moment i'm almost finished just a moment you don't get to control nothing not your kids you can't control you can't make them turn out the way you you can't you can't make your husband is grown your wife is you can't make your boss run the company like you you can't make those people sell that house you can't make [Music] [Music] if you let go of it you could fly if you just turn it over to god you could spread your wings and survive you are self-destructed i sense the holy spirit pulling your claws out of something that you've held on to a long time i sense god during surgery and getting to the heart of the matter right now [Music] is [Music] [Music] you're married but you've been angry at her you have been secretly angry deep down inside you have been angry because you feel like you have been wrong and you feel like you are right and you might be right but that anger is killing you and this sunday morning surrender [Music] all to thee [Music] blessings [Music] i hear deliverance i hear deliverance i hear deliverance i hear deliverance i hear deliverance i hear deliverance god does not want you to have another old new year [Applause] so jackie i got i got one more point and and i'll close the the third i promise you three points the third point is we grieve because of the tithes we make outside his will samuel is tied to somebody that god never even wanted to be king how can it be a failure when god never even wanted him to be king in the first place this is if god never wanted him to be king and he's taken away the kingdom how can this be failure this is not failure it's correction what you call failure what you call failure is simply correction you didn't lose because you never had he he wasn't god's king in the first place he was a filler he was a substitute that wasn't your job that was your place that wasn't your ministry that when you're calling that you didn't lose all of your life you've been processing this as a loss this is not a failure this is a correction this is a correction god cared enough to make sure you get this right he wanted he loves you enough to stop you and make sure you get this right [Applause] he loves he loves you enough to confront your strong stubborn will and bring you to submission so that he can give you what he has for you you have never had what he has for you all those people and things that went was supposed to go they were not the ones do you hear me do no no no do you do you really hear me [Music] so god walks up in my conclusion god walks up to samuel god walks up to samuel and says why we bestow over what i have rejected while you were weeping i was searching while you were weeping over what wasn't even it anyway i was searching go get your horn and get ready because i found your future go get your horn you got some anointing to do 2018 is behind you 2019 is in front of you i have found your future and i cannot give you your future if you're still married to your past [Applause] stand to your feet this is a heart transplant and every doctor in this room will tell you you can't do a heart transplant till you find a new heart i have found you a new heart and his name is not saul it's david and i want you to go meet your future without one tear in your eye over your past [Applause] because if you don't you'll contaminate your future with your past join the hands papa's finish lord when i think about what you have in store for us [Music] my heart leaps hallelujah when i think about the houses we didn't build and the vineyards we didn't grow that you're just gonna transplant into our life when i think about how while i was weeping you was raising up a blessing for such a time as this when i think about 2019 being a year of collision with my destiny hallelujah when i think about what you have in store that my eyes haven't seen in my ears haven't heard and neither have entered into my imagination [Music] squeeze that hand the person you're touching god kept them alive to see something [Music] to do something to touch something to have something to experience something to embrace something he didn't keep them alive to punish them he didn't keep them alive to kill them if he wanted them dead they'd have been gone in 2018 he kept them alive to introduce them to somebody [Music] something is about to happen in their life it's not always a person it could be a place it could be a thing it could be an opportunity but god said go get your horn you got some anointing to do your life is not over your past is behind you your future is in front of you go [Music] i dance on the grave of every suicide spirit in this room i danced on the grave of every spirit of depression that tried to get me to give up before i came into my season i danced on the grave of every devil that told me that i was a nobody and nothing and then i'd never be anything i danced on the grave of every foul spirit that said i was cursed and not lovable and not worthy and not good enough i dance on the grave you lied you lied god does still have something for me i'm not too old i'm not too young i'm not too this or that i'm just right i'm getting ready to meet my new team coming down the road to meet me that devil's been lying to you that god doesn't have anything in front of you better than what you've seen in your past is alive dry your face and get up off of your knees you're about to meet a new thing get your horn of all you get ready to get a fresh anointing a fresh release is coming into your life a move of the holy ghost is coming into your life the power of the holy spirit is coming into your life my god my god god's gonna take out the hole and bring in the new out with the old and end with the new this is your moment this is your time this is your season oh god you've caused our hearts to rejoice you've caused our hearts to rejoice hope is springing eternal in somebody's heart somebody's waking up out of their grave and taking off their grave clothes and getting ready to live more abundantly lord i thank you for abundant life
