The Worship Experience - December 19, 2021

internationally recognized for teaching and preaching the uncompromised word of god bishop clarency mcclinton answers the prophetic and apostolic call upon his life by ministering the healing grace and miracle anointing of jesus christ around the world [Music] by his preaching and teaching the uncompromised gospel of jesus christ bishop mcclendon the teacher the preacher the apostle and an anointed prophet sent to the nations being used by the power of the holy spirit has led to the healing and deliverance of millions around the world during his healing crusades and conferences [Music] if you want to experience another level of worship witness the healing power of jesus learn the uncompromised word of god confirmed by notable miracles then we invite you to partake in the overwhelming power of the holy spirit by the moving of god's transforming grace prepare to receive today's word with a recap from the prophet's recent messages the lord said he said there's an entire wing a portion of people and politicians so we're not just talking about political strategy that i shall begin to use to turn around and reverse policies and ideologies that have prevailed for almost four decades says the lord and there shall be a measure of return and respite meaning rest and peace in the nation and the nation says the lord that my people may know that i am the lord who has heard them and hears them in other words god was saying i am going to demonstrate to my people in these next several months i am the god who has heard their prayer who has stood uh those that have stood against the prevailing winds that are blowing through the society they're going to see me he says i'm going to do this that they may know that i'm the god who hears them and who has heard them and hears them he said and you shall see it spring forth here and there first meaning you'll see a little bit here something there something there and i was reminded of what god says in the prophecy of amos where he says i caused it to rain on one city and not another and the city that was rained on the other cities had to come to the city that was rained on to draw water see a lot of people think when god says i will pour out my spirit on all flesh that everybody is going to get poured out on no what that really means god says i'm going to pour out my spirit on flesh i will not discriminate on who i pour it out on black white beige yellow male female young old i'm gonna put my spirit on all flesh but that doesn't mean everybody is going to get rained on what it means is if you haven't been rained on you're gonna have to go to somebody who has if if your church is not receiving the outpouring you're gonna have to go to one that's receiving it if your man or woman of god is not hearing from the spirit of god you may have to go somewhere where the spirit of god is uttering and take that water back to your dry city are you still here so he says you'll see it swing forth here and there at first and then a swell and a wellspring and men will say what is this and from whence did it come in other words god says you're going to begin to see things pop up here you're going to hear about things turning around in here policies being reversed here things that are against my plan and will in states and governments and municipalities you're going to see them turn this thing we just saw in georgia with this young man ahmad arber with that case it is a small signal of something shifting in the atmosphere and let me say it clearly there was a praying african-american mama behind that because for two months they wouldn't even bring any charges against anybody wouldn't give her the time of day and she said it publicly i pray [Music] she she prayed people out of political office that were standing against justice i need you i'm not saying by herself i'm not saying by herself but i'm saying the power of the spirit and the word of god began to move political things and obstructionists that thought they had a hold on what could happen and it's a small signal of some things god is doing now in this nation and the nations of the earth if his people will pray but see in order to pray with confidence you have to know that god is with you that he's doing something in that area thus says the lord who made you and formed you from the womb who will help you fear not o jacob my servant and you gesheron whom i have chosen again a reference to israel for i will pour water on him who is thirsty and floods on the dry ground my god what a promise that is i will pour my spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your offspring offspring they will spring up among the grass like willows by the watercourses one will say i am the lord's another will call himself by the name of jacob another will write with his hand the lord's name himself by the name of israel so in the first five or six verses god is speaking to the coming refreshing and empowerment that he has purposed in these times to bring he says i'm going to pour water on him who is thirsty in other words if you are seeking me you're going to find me if you're looking for something from me you're going to get it in these days i am not going to withhold my goodness from my people who are seeking me he says but i'm also going to pour water and floods on the dry ground in other words even where people are not seeking me earnestly i'm going to be available to them because of the overflow of what's happening for you are you still here and i will put my spirit on your descendants and blessing and he said and he begins to talk about in verse 5 one will say i am the lord's another will call himself by the name of jacob now what is this this is god's people beginning to affirm again who they are and identify themselves as who they are in other words god says there's going to come upon my people a boldness and a courage that they will identify themselves as who they are i am called by the name of the lord i am a child of the king no more of this incognito christianity no more of trying to fade into the woodwork and gather with the gang and be inconspicuous no god is going to make you purposely conspicuous in this hour you will not be able to hide as it gets darker in the world your life is going to shine are you still here but this speaks to a boldness and a courageousness he says one will say i am the lord in other words when other people are saying this this you'll be i'm a christian a blood butt tongue talking jesus worshiping believer i lay hands on the sick and they recover i speak with other tongues a thousand may fall at my side ten thousand at my right hand but it will not come near me you heard you understand this is how i'm living this is how i'm walking and i'm bold about it somebody say i'm bold about it now watch this then in verse 6 god begins to go into uh he begins to single himself out as the only true and living god i love this god doesn't often flex but there are times when he in his word says wait a minute don't you know who i am america is about to have a wait a minute don't you know who i am moment the nations are about to have a wait a minute don't you know who i am god doesn't do it all the time but there are times when he does and i'm announcing to you you and i are coming into such a time notice what he says verse 6 that says the lord the king of israel and his redeemer the lord of hosts i am the first and i am the last besides me there is no god i want you to hear it this is god saying beside me ain't no other god you understand i know you've been worshiping this and worshipping that and you have been confused as to whether i am god or that is god or the government is god or the who is god or dr fountain uh i'm gonna show you i am god and there is no other and even politicians and presidents and prime ministers who think they have authority and control to determine the course of nations god is about to step in and say don't you know who i am now what now what are we dealing with we're dealing with a god who just said i'm about to show myself i'm about to show that i'm god and there isn't another one now you just figure out all the ways that that can manifest and god's going to do them all i want you to hear it whatever god needs to do in your life in your body in your circumstance in your situation to demonstrate that he is god now's the time to call upon him and say okay god i'm ready watch it no no no no then he shifts watch this i got to get this to you those who make an image all of them are useless and their precious things shall not prove it now what is god doing now he begins to turn and shift and speak to the futility and the foolishness of idolatry man worshiping the works and the devisings of his own hand and his own making and remember in the modern day idolatry is not just the bowing down to images and idols and statues it is men devising plans that are not in line with god and thinking they can cause the nation and the nations to follow it it is men developing conspiracies lying politically lying medically saying this and saying that and thinking no one will wake up and see it and no one will know the truth it is politicians and power brokers thinking that they can control economies and nations and turn them in their direction when god has already established what is going to happen and it's going to happen just like he said i've got news for the cdc in the world health organization i got news for the president and the congress i've got news for prime ministers and strong men and dictators i've got news for the one percent power brokers and billionaires who think they can hide hands and manipulate nations and countries i've got news for you the great god jehovah is about to put an end to your conspiracy i hope you are awake and once again i'm not saying go no vax go vacs don't vax do vacs what i'm telling you and pointing out to you is that as a conspiracy under way why is it every time they get something done now they got a new variant why why because you need another booster why because they haven't yet gotten into you all they want to get into you [Music] and the first one may have been safe and the second one but there's going to be a booster that might boost you right out of here there's going to be a booster that might boost you into mindlessness i need you to hear me [Music] [Applause] now they got this i want you to hear me they will keep coming up with variance until they get into your system everything they want in your system and there will be a time where you will no longer have the power to say no it is the same wickedness for which god had to wipe out an entire generation in genesis 6 when the sons of god angels came down to the daughters of men what happened there they produced a variant human species a a species in the earth that was no longer respondent to the spirit of god the reason god had to wipe the whole thing out is because a mutant creation had been created that would no longer respond to his spirit at that time only the angels had that knowledge but now men have found the knowledge to manipulate dna and technology they are trying to produce a species of their own [Music] [Applause] and the coming of the lord and the tribulation period will be a wiping out of that mutant species just like what happened in genesis 6 and the flood he that has ears to hear let him hear this is not new it's been done before look at revelation uh 12 verses it says therefore rejoice o heavens and you who dwell in them woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea for the devil has come down to you having great wrath because he knows he has much see he knows he has but a short time he knows the time that has been allotted to him and like any destroyer he wants more because the more time i have the more i can destroy and if i have enough people who don't know god's word and don't know their authority then i can get away with starting early but god said the conspiracy i it's broken it's broken it's broken hello from wherever you're watching you welcome to the place of grace it is a place where whoever can be healed of

and that will uh start at 9 30 p.m and so you will want to be a part of that i know and i believe god has given us a word for going into this uh new calendar year of course we're already in a new season in the things of the spirit but we're going to be declaring some things to you that i believe will be extremely significant and we ask that you would continue to pray for us as we hear from the lord concerning those things and declare them to you amen open with me very quickly in your bibles now open with me very quickly in your bibles to john the gospel as john records it chapter number 21 the gospel as john records it chapter number 21 as i was meditating uh before the lord this week and thinking about things and reading and praying and believing god for his provision in our lives you know one of the names of god one of his covenant names is jehovah jireh the lord our provider literally that con that word actually means the lord our source he is the source of all of our supply if you understand what i just said say amen to that again uh there are other streams of provision that come in and out of our lives but god is our source and one of the things that i have learned if you're going to see god manifest himself i'll never forget several years ago when i went to the lord and i said i've known you in a number of ways but i want to know you as jehovah jireh i want to know you as my provider as the god who supplies my need and from that point was 20 some years ago now more from that point the lord began to show me and began to reveal to me uh the principles in his word that cause him or release him if you will in our lives to manifest himself that way and so i was looking here at john 21 watch this it says after these things jesus showed himself i'm in john 21 and verse 1. after these things jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of tiberias and in this way he showed himself now when he says he showed himself again this is one of the appearances that jesus made to his disciples after his resurrection the book of acts told tells us for 40 days after his resurrection he appeared demonstrating and talking about the things concerning the kingdom of god so this is one of those appearances it says he appeared he showed himself again to his disciples uh and this is the way he showed himself it's simon peter thomas called the twin nathanael of cana in galilee the sons of zebedee and two other of his disciples were there so there were seven of jesus's followers who had been following him before his crucifixion that were there verse 3 says simon said to them i'm going fishing and they said to him we are going with you also now you got to remember this that simon peter was a fisherman by trade are you listening to me he was a fisherman by trade and before he started following jesus his fishing business was what he actually spent all of his time and occupation in as a matter of fact it is as simon peter has gone fishing and has not caught any fish that jesus gives him instructions and that's actually what causes simon peter to become a follower of jesus when the miracle of him having toiled all night and caught nothing well here he says i'm going fishing which kind of is a reference to the fact that peter said i'm going back to what i was doing before and i want you to i want you to get this he's been a follower of jesus as long as jesus was there as long as jesus was present all their needs were met anything they had need of always occurred on time but now he is not with them anymore peter's like okay i'm going fishing they say we're going with you also they went out and immediately got into the boat and that night they caught nothing but when the morning had now come jesus stood on the shore yet the disciples did not know that it was jesus and jesus said to them children do you have any food in other words have you going back to what you've been doing has that helped you at all [Music] [Laughter] you going back to things the way that you used to do them has has that profited you at all children do you have any food they answered no and he said to them cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find something that's a very interesting statement because you don't know if they were fishing on the left and he's saying cast it on the right or if he's just saying you fishing wrong [Music] i don't know you're whatever he said is you on the wrong side of things however you're doing it it's not working come on say amen to this and he said he said cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some so they cast and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude i want you to get it the provision was there no you're not you're not the provision was there they were right next to their provision but they couldn't tap into it without a word from the lord without a direction from god jesus is always aware where your provision is i want you to get it he always knows where it is and he will direct us if we will hear his word and act on it there was no lack of provision there was a lack of proper direction to it are you there i want you to say this out loud lift your hand and say there is no lack of provision it's there and the spirit of god the word of the lord will direct me to it now watch this he said so cast so they cast now and they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish therefore that disciple whom jesus loved said to peter again that's john in john's gospel john always refers to him as the disciple whom jesus loved so he's talking about the the author is talking about himself therefore that disciple whom jesus loves said to peter it is the lord now when simon peter heard that it was the lord he put on his outer garment for he had removed it and plunged into the sea simon was always peter was always the impetuous one he's always he's going first he's the one walking on water he's jumping into the water the the interesting thing about this watch is it says he plunged into the sea but the other disciples came in the little boat for they were not far from the land only about 200 kilos he could have stayed in the boat not gotten wet but he's so impetuous he wants to get there first that'll be important later watch this he says but but the other disciples came a little boat for they were not far from the land about 200 cubits dragging the net i love this dragging the net of fish then as soon as they had come to land they saw a fire of coals there and fish laid on it and bread and jesus said to them bring some of the fish you caught or you missed a good place to laugh bring some of the fish that you caught and i want you to get this jesus gives them direction and instruction but he already has breakfast prepared [Music] in other words he said if you want to go do all that the way you want to do it you can do it but i've already got what it is that you need if you just come to me i've got it covered you can exercise all your energy you can do this you can rely upon your ability you can do that or you can just follow my instructions do what i tell you to do and you will find that what you're actually fishing for i already have it for you i want you to lay your hands upon yourself and say what i'm looking for jesus has already provided say it again what i'm after he has already supplied i want you to pay attention to this so the provision was there all that was needed was to follow the instruction this is the way jehovah jireh always works he's not coming up with what you and i need today that's already set aside but all you and i have to do is follow his instruction this is why when god says give and it shall be given to you one of the things that's very interesting in this story is although jesus already has the provision he says to them go ahead and steal cast in other words you go ahead and still do what it is that i'm directing you to do and when you come to the shore i got everything prepared i have come to tell somebody that god has everything prepared all you got to do is follow his instruction now how do you know it's his instruction you'll know it's his instruction because he's going to change your direction he's going to change your mind he told them cast it on the right side in other words just follow my instruction where i'm going he is always i don't know if the lord is telling me to give or not it's probably not you [Music] it it it's probably him giving that direction because it doesn't make sense to us to give when we have a need come on say amen to this but this is the way the kingdom of god works jesus says give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed down shaken together and running over shall men everybody say shall men again it doesn't say shall god it says shall men because god has already done his part and as i said to you many times god is the source but men are god's delivery system god's gonna use someone to minister to your need it's not gonna fall out of heaven it's not gonna fall through the roof god's gonna use somebody to minister dude i want you to lift your hands up and say this out loud say every week of my life as a child of the kingdom somebody somewhere is already purposed to give into my life to be a blessing to my life to be used for my life god has ordained his kingdom like this so watch this is why the bible says give because when you do what god has directed you to do he releases someone to do what he's directed them to do concerning you i want you to lay your hands upon yourself father in the name of jesus as we worship you today you have told us to bring all the tithe the maha that's the tenth and we bring the tithe to you not because it's a debt we owe but because it is the means by which you have purposed to open us to your full provision and so whether it's through the tithe or the first fruit or the prophet seed however your people are giving today i pray in the name of jesus number one that you give them the assurance that their need is already met that there is no lack or shortage of provision and in the name of jesus that you will give them the instructions as to what needs to be done where to go where to move what side to cast the net on where to show up where to be this week to receive everything that you have for them in the name of jesus i decree it so now i want you to say these words my steps all this week shall be supernaturally ordered by the lord i will be where i'm supposed to be when i'm supposed to be there and every connection i am to make shall be made i will lack nothing i have need of in jesus name if you really believe that i want you to clap your hands and thank your god because he's

i'm i'm bringing her back west to all right john chapter 21 turn with me in your bibles very quickly to the 21st chapter of the gospel as john records it i'm going to begin the reading of the word of god at verse number 15 of john 21 and i'm going to do the very best i can in the next few moments to finish this message or series of messages really that the lord gave me uh i entitled rest for your souls i've been ministering in that area and then the last couple of weeks i ministered under that heading a message entitled the coalition of the unoffended we'll deal with those things and i really do believe um that this is something the holy spirit placed upon my spirit and i have i'm more convinced today than i was even the last couple of weeks that this message and these messages are preparatory for some things the spirit of god desires to do and accomplish in us for us and through us um i shared with you in matthew 13 and 41 that one of the things that jesus said what happened at the end of the age is he said he would send forth his angels and they would take out of his kingdom all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness which once again that word offense uh to trap uh again it's the greek word scandal on from which we get our english word scandal it is the trigger on a trap the actual word offense is the trigger on a trap that when you put your foot on the trigger the trap closes around you that's what that word actually means so that offense in the kingdom of god is designed to stop forward progress it is designed to keep you and i from moving into that which we have been purposed destined uh predestined to do and to achieve which is one of the reasons why jesus in luke 17 tells us that it is impossible that no offenses shall come to you but he says woe to him whom through they come and then he says when offense comes to you take heed to yourself pay attention to you because the key now to your progress is you responding to whatever that is properly it's not a matter of whether it will happen it will happen jesus said it's impossible that it won't happen but he says but when it does you must now pay attention to you because whatever has been perpetrated against you is not about who sent it it's about you and how you respond to it and if you focus on the offender and not yourself you lose progress because you generally will not respond properly now i'm going to read a couple of things there but this uh and when the spirit of the lord downloaded this message to me when the word of the lord came to me concerning this it was very interesting it all came at once the the the message about rest for your souls and then the coalition of the unoffended and then this that i'm going to share with you today they all came to me in a matter of about 10 or 15 minutes as i was waiting before the lord i'd been praying and he said i want you to minister in this area and so today by god's grace i will complete it and then hopefully i'll be able to preach some holiday messages and you'll have a good christmas and new year and that kind of stuff but i got i got to say what i'm told you know what i'm saying so and and i and once again i believe it's preparatory for us in some very key and critical areas john 21 i'm going to start reading at verse number 15. it says so when they had eaten breakfast now interestingly enough this is right after what i read but for you uh in the offering in the time of giving it's a part of the same chapter it says so when they had eaten breakfast jesus said to simon peter simon son of jonah do you love me more than these meaning the other because remember there were other apostles around him he says simon son of jonah do you love me more than these he said to him yes lord you know that i love you he said to him feed my lambs he said to him again a second time simon son of jonah do you love me he that is simon peter said to him yes lord you know that i love you he said to him tend my sheep verse 17. he said to him the third time simon son of jonah do you love me and peter was grieved because he that is jesus said to him the third time do you love me now that is something we're going to look at in just a moment why peter was grieved and he said to him lord you know all things you know that i love you and jesus said to him feed my sheep now i want you to notice the first time he says feed my lambs the second time he says tend my sheep but the third time he says feed my sheep and the language here in the original greek is very important which we'll point out in just a moment mostly surely i said look at jesus said to him feed my sheep look at verse 18. most of surely i say to you when you were younger you girded yourself and walked where you wished but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish now this he that is jesus spoke signifying by what death he that is peter would glorify god and historically it is an historical fact that peter was crucified on a cross hanging upside down and he actually asked to be crucified upside down because he did not consider himself worthy to be crucified right side up the way his lord was so peter historically was crucified upside down so jesus says to him so oh this is so important jesus says to him when you were young you walked where you wished but when you were old you will stretch out your hands and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish this he spoke signifying by what death he would glorify god and when he had spoken this when he had prophetically spoken him about that he said follow me verse 20. then peter turning around saw the disciple whom jesus loved following now this is john again john always referred to himself in his gospel as the disciple that jesus loved then peter turning around saw the disciples whom jesus loved following who had also leaned on his breast at the supper meaning the last supper and said lord who is the one who betrays you now look at this peter seeing him said to jesus but lord what about this man jesus said to him if i will that he remained till i come what is that to you you follow me then this thing went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die yet jesus did not say to him that he would not die but if i will that he remain till i come what is that to you and the title of the message is what is that to you what what what what is that to you now once again i have to remind you a little bit about where we've been go back real quickly to matthew 11 uh verse 1. go back real quick to matthew 11 verses 1 through 6. i want you to see this once again in matthew 11 and verse number one it says uh now it came to pass when jesus finished commanding his twelve disciples he departed from there to teach and when john had heard in prison about the works of christ he sent two of his disciples and said to him are you the coming one or do we look for another and jesus answered and said go and tell john the things which you hear and see now remember i'd share with you through the scripture that john was the one who had prophetically identified jesus and said he was the messiah but now in prison he's asking are you the one or do we look for another so his mind has gotten a little confused about who jesus is because of what he's heard that jesus is doing that doesn't fit in with his religious understanding of how a messiah should act stay with me so he says go and tell john the things that you see in here the blind see the lame walk the lepers are cleansed the death here the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them and blessed is he who is not offended because of me so what he says is go tell john that the things you see in here that the reason he is tripping right now is because he is paying attention to things that don't matter and he is not paying attention to the actual things that do matter and tell him that the blessing again the word blessed here means the empowerment to prosper and remember prosper actually means to continue to do good along the way or to continue to progress prosperity really has nothing to do with wealth it has to do with a continuing doing of good and the reason they call it prosperity in the financial area is because that person seems to be continuing to do good in the money area do you understand so so the word the word the the word blessed here means empowered to prosper so here's what jesus is saying he's saying tell john that the empowerment to keep moving forward the empowerment to keep progressing is going to be in those who don't get trapped by anything that happens as they follow me it will the the empowerment to keep moving to keep prospering to keep overcoming to keep winning is going to be found by those who will not allow themselves to let anything trap them stop them no matter who it comes from where it comes from how it comes to them they review now in order to do that which we're going to go back to in just a moment something has to happen to you as a believer and we'll point out to you what that is because that's what he deals with peter about and then this is that same chapter where jesus ends uh with it go down to verse 25 of matthew 11. it says at that time jesus answered and said i thank you father lord of heaven and earth oh please pay attention to this that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes now this is a very significant thing because one of the things that jesus is saying is that the more you get indoctrinated in religion the less capable you are many times of remaining untrapped there is something about matriculating in the religious system that traps you and the longer you stay in it the more prone to being offended you are unless you remain in this in this babe state in relation to jesus so that you don't think yourself too wise or too prudent or having too much together because that is also a key to getting trapped when you think you got it down [Music] well when you think you know how to do it when you think oh jesus so he says he says i thank you and so he says even so it seemed good to yourself and this is when jesus then says come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden and i will give you rest take my yoke and learn from me in other words he's saying uh that this take my yoke and learn from me for i am gentle and lowly at heart and you will find rest for your souls that's where we got the folks you'll find rest for yourselves in other words jesus says this this is not he says my yoke is easy and my burden is light meaning this is not supposed to be a hard and tedious or drudging life it's not supposed to be as difficult as religion has made it and he basically saying if that's what you are experiencing if you are experiencing a hard tedious drudging christianity you're doing it wrong some something is wrong about how you're doing it and unfortunately most christians are living a hard tedious drudging life now they're saved but you talk to them they're not full of joy and peace and happiness and rest they are the most agitated discombobulated frustrated angry people on the planet and that's not the way it's supposed to be so jesus is saying if that's what you're experiencing you're doing it wrong and he begins to point out what is the key to doing it wrong and what is the key to making it right and he does this with peter go back to uh go back to john 21 let me pick up there and let me hurry now because i got to get this you got to understand a few things here because jesus in john 21 and verse 15 and following he is actually restoring peter to apostolic destiny and function now i want you to get this this is actually an encounter of restoration peter is being restored and re-enlisted to apostolic function and apostolic assignment and you've got to remember what has happened to peter peter had been told by jesus that all of his disciples and all of his followers were going to stumble and basically leave him in matthew 26 verse 31 go there very quickly matthew 26 and verse 31 i got to work at this i got a few moments it's important matthew 26 and verse 81 then jesus said to them will be made to stumble because of me this night for it is written i will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered i want you to pay attention to something jesus says i know what's going to happen here not because i know you i know what's going to happen here because i know my father's word what i'm talking about is not even about you it is about my father's word my father said that the the shepherd is going to be struck and the sheep are going to scatter i have come to understand i am the shepherd right now and you are the sheep this is a rhema to me so all of you are going to stumble not because there's some flaw in you but because my father said so now there may be a flaw in you but that's not why you're going to stumble i'm sure of this because my father said so so jesus is trusting the word of his father are you still here now watch this and the sheep of the flock will be scared look at verse 32 and once again he's quoting there zechariah 13 verse 7. so he's getting this word from the word i don't have time to go into that he says but after i have been raised i will go before you to galilee now watch this peter answered and said to him even if all are made to stumble because of you i will never be made to stop not me i'm the one you understand i got this i'm following i got it down i know how to do this and i understand jesus that you believe you got the word on this but i know who i am i'm with you [Applause] stay with me peter answered and said to him even if all are made to stumble because of you i will never be made to stumble jesus said to him pete [Applause] i know you walked water and all that i got that you were the only one that got out the boat i get it but i am telling you most certainly i say to you this night before the rooster crows you will deny me three times you will deny you ever knew me three times now this is the second time jesus is telling him this is going to happen peter says even if i have to die with you i will not leave you and when peter said it the rest of the disciples said it now this is also the same man to whom jesus had said and had told him before so this was not just the first again he had said to him simon simon satan has asked for you that he may sift you as we but i have prayed for you that your faith would not fail and when you are converted i want you to get it he said when you are converted cause i see you falling but i see you on the other side of the fall i love it i love it i love it in other words he said i see you messing up but i also see you on the other side of the mess up i see that you're not going to be everything you think you are but i also see you on the other side of it oh i love that about jesus oh i love this about him and when you get to know your savior and the power of his blood and the power of his grace you will understand that he knows what's going to happen about you and he refuses to let it stop your destiny if you will refuse to let it stop your destiny ah oh i wish i could preach this like i feel it one of the things one of the diabolical things about religion is it gives you a standard you cannot meet and then it deceives you into convincing yourself that you might be able to do it when god knows you'll never be able to do it [Music] so see peter has started to feel the funk you understand in fi he's feeling himself i walked water i was part of that multiplication miracle i was the one touching the bread when the people started multiplying [Music] oh let me get to this oh let me get to this oh let me get to this so so so now jesus has said this to peter satan's desire to have you but you're going to fall you're going to be converted and when you get converted strengthen your brother in other words i'm going to give you you're going to be in ministry after you you mess up oh and and now he says to him and and now he says all of you are going to sell and peter's like not me dog i'm i'm i'm the one so now now that has all occurred peter is now not only a little miffed that he's not with jesus they don't know where jesus is jesus died and then he's resurrected he shows up you know every for a few minutes every 40 days or something he shows up comes through the wall says hey peace what up and then he's gone like where'd he go i mean i mean and you know then he said and so he he's a little his life is a little uncertain you there you ever been following jesus and your life seems a little [Music] okay so this is where peter is and and and not only that he he he's having to eat his words he's constantly being reminded of him saying to jesus and everybody else because they all heard it oh okay pete you're the one right what up you're the one got this right so everybody is around now and peter is having to deal with the fact that that that i not only failed the lord i failed my own expectations of myself are you still here and this thing is about to trap him i'll never forget i will never forget i'll never get years ago when the when the holy spirit showed me that both peter and judas were at the same encounter when jesus was talking about him being crucified of what was going to happen judas got up and left while jesus was still speaking peter stayed there and the things that jesus said after judas left i believe are the things that help peter remain and cause judas to hang himself because he didn't hear jesus sometimes you can leave a message too early but that's a whole that's a whole that's a whole nother word you can leave a message too early and miss the very words that could have saved your life healed your body rescued your children [Music] [Applause] he that has ears to hear led him here it's important to hear whatever is assigned for you so let me hurry with this so so jesus now has reappeared and he's worked this miracle so now they all know it's jesus and so jesus comes to simon peter so this is an act of restoration this is jesus doing what he said after you're converted he'll strengthen your brother so jesus comes and says simon do you love me more than these and and and he said to him lord you know i love you and and jesus says okay okay uh feed my lambs he said to him a second time simon do you love me now it's very interesting uh that it's it's there's a question almost for every denial i don't have time to get into that said you're going to deny me three times jesus asked the question three times simon do you do you love me he says uh yes lord you you know i love you he said feed my lambs he asked him a second number six simon son of jonah do you love me he said yes lord you know that i love you and he says tend my sheep he said to him the third time simon son of jonah do you love me it says peter was grieved because he said to him the third time do you love me and then it says and he said lord you know all things you know that i love you and when you read this in english you miss the import of what is being done so let me just break this down i'm not trying to to look intelligent in front of you i'm trying to show you something that is revealed in the greek language in which this text is originally written that is not revealed in english when jesus asks peter the first time do you love me jesus uses the greek word for love agape agape in in the greek language there are several words for love agape is the highest form of love it means unconditional love or a love that is not based on conditions it is steadfast it doesn't change it is a love of choice not a love of emotion see the love that god has for humanity is a love of choice but he is love so he can't choose otherwise but but it but it is still a love that is detached from emotion or circumstance are you there so he asks and then and this is the god kind of love agape love she says he says simon do you agape me and simon's response is lord i file you okay in greek there are three different con there's actually more than three but the highest is agape the second level is eros that's it's which is the kind of erotic or passionate love and then third is philia which is a brotherly sort of fraternal love it is that greek root that is at the beginning of the city of philadelphia which is why it's called the city of brotherly love because fila or phileo is a brotherly fraternal kind of love okay both eros and philia are conditional agape is not so jesus asked peter the first time do you agape me and peter says lord you know i flail you i have a brotherly fraternal kind of love for you but you know based on what just happened that my love for you is not yet unconditional i thought it was i thought it was because i was trusting in myself and my trust in myself trapped me it was about to trap me because i was trusting in myself and i thought i had it so he says he he says he says you know based on what i did that i'm not at the level you're talking about so you know i file you now notice what jesus says because this is an encounter where jesus is causing peter to not just get honest with jesus but honest with himself [Applause] because you cannot actually be powerfully used of god until you are honest with yourself until you detach yourself from all your religious constructs and all the stuff that you thought you were able to do and you're like you know who i am this is me i am no better than this god but if you can use me here i am and notice what jesus does when he says peter do you agape me peter says lord you know i flail you he said oh okay now you're getting to the place where i can really use you feed my lambs now he says feed my lambs the word the greek word there he uses for lambs are like lamb kins immature little immature little things that really can't even walk so he says you you're about at the place now but i can use you feed my land so the second time he asked him he says simon son of jodah do you agape me he uses the same word and peter answers with the same greek word he did before lord you know i fully owe you so now watch this in the question jesus is attempting to get peter to be honest with himself and he's seeing now if peter is still that volatile emotional individual who will be moved by challenge or provocation so jesus is like if i ask you again if you agape me if you say you agape me then you're not ready yet because you've moved from where you know you are so we asked him again peter son of john d do do simon says jonah do you agape me do you have unconditional love for me the kind of love that won't move the kind of love that is not volatile the kind of love that won't get you to change like you did a few days ago do you have that peter answers again and says lord you know i'm not there you know you're not there and jesus is actually pleased at this because peter refused to move from who he knew he was he has now taken off he's taken off his mask he is now allowing himself to be naked before god he's no longer the guy that's going to jump out of the boat and say i can walk on water he's not that guy anymore he is now coming to grips with his limitations he says peter do you agape me peter says lord come on now you know i flavor and then he asked him the third time and this is the one that switches it and this is why peter is now this is why the bible says peter was grieved because he asked him a third time the first two times he wasn't greed but the third time he asked it says that peter was greek because this time when jesus asks him do you love me he doesn't use the word agape he uses the word phileo in other words he comes down to peter's level and says okay twice now you've said you file me do you really even do that are you are you really even capable are you really even capable in your own self of being even a brother to me and the bible says peter was grieved because he had to confront the fact maybe i'm not even at that level maybe maybe i'm not even sure i can do that with consensus look at verse seven he said to the third time simon says jonah do you love me peter was grieved because he said to him the third time do you love me see he wasn't grieved just because he asked it the third time he was grieved because this time when he asked it he brought it down a notch are you listening he's grieved because this that when jesus asks he he brings it down a notch in verse 15 jesus says do you agape me peter says i fully owe you in verse 16 jesus says to you agape me peter says i fully owe you in verse 17 jesus says do you even follow me and notice now notice peter's response this time he's like lord why are you even asking me you know the answer to the question i mean you asking me because you know that i don't know who i actually am and you know who i actually am and you know that i don't know who i actually am and you know whether i'm going to do it or not and you know whether i can do it or not and you know if i'm even capable of doing it or not so peter feels about this tall right now in the presence of jesus and that's when jesus gives him the greatest commission amen first he said feed my lambs second he said tend my lambs third he says now feed my sheep yes now he says okay now you are qualified to lead and deal with the best the brightest the strongest that i have you can now lead because you are now sure that you are nothing you are now absolutely certain that you can do nothing without me that everything you are is what i give you and without me you can do nothing now you're qualified the very thing that brought you to nothing in your eyes makes you something in mind the very thing that you thought would disqualify you from being used is the thing that's going to cause him in about 10 to 12 days because jesus the bible says appeared to them for 40. and pentecost is 50 days so somewhere after one of these encounters peter gets up on the day of pentecost and he is the one that the holy ghost comes on and preaches under the anointing and 3 000 people get saved now [Music] he's in the place i'm almost done with this he now he's at the place where he can be mightily used of god and jesus knows in a few days you are going to shake this whole world with a message that's going to convert people and then once jesus commissions him re-enlists him re-enrolls him he starts speaking to him prophetically he says now most surely i say to you when you were younger verse 18 you girded and walked where you wanted but when you're old they're going to carry you talking about how he's going to be crucified and when and he says now i'm telling you this now follow me just keep on following me just keep your focus on me just keep your focus on me the reason you fell before is because your focus was on you [Music] you thought you had ability you thought you could do it you thought you now just follow me and notice notice verse number 20. it says then peter turning around saw the disciple whom jesus loved that's john who had also leaned on his breast at the supper and said lord who is the one who betrays you and peter seeing him said to jesus what about him what what what about him and she's like wait wait you and i just went through this whole thing and i just went through this whole thing to get you focused to get you re acquainted to get you re-enlisted to get you re-enrolled and here no sooner do i put you back in position you are about to get trapped again by taking your focus off of me and onto somebody else he said well what about him what's going to happen to him what you going to say to him jesus because we all ran [Music] we all ran in fact if you read john's gospel john's the one who almost ran out of his clothes leaving the garden he ran off he was almost naked he was going so fast and and peter is looking at john i said what about him and jesus looks at him and says if i will that he remains till i come what is that here look at what he says he says it's not about you or him this is about my will oh i need you i need you to hear me he says if i will because what i've just declared to you is my will for you and what you need to be focused on is my will for you not my will for somebody else and one of the ways christians get trapped is when they start focusing on god's will for somebody else when they don't know what god's will is for somebody else well what about him jesus what about them don't you see what they did don't you know how they living don't you know what they do and jesus like what is that to you how does that affect you doing what i've called you to do how does that help you complete my assignment to you what is being amplified here i'm almost done is the significance of focusing on your purpose and your personal destiny in the light of what jesus has said to you the lord has just reinstated peter apostolically he has just specifically assigned him to feed his sheep and his lambs and peter is about to make the mistake of missing a moment of destiny and personal assignment by focusing on what is happening to another believer no you miss what i just said he's about to miss a moment of destiny and perfect and specific assignment he's about to miss a moment where god is telling him who he is what he's supposed to do how he's going to live by focusing on somebody else he's about to be trapped about to be stuck and for so many christians it is not the devil at all who is impeding their progress the devil is sitting over in a rocking chair wondering why are you blaming this on me you are the one who's stuck you are the one who keeps your eyes on everything other than your assignment other than your call other than your destiny you are the one who is too easily distracted [Music] i'm doing the best i can child of god because if you and i are ever going to win and if we're ever going to overcome we're going to have to be focused on what god has told us to do yes i'm supposed to pray for my brother yes i'm supposed to strengthen my brother but what god is doing in my brother's life is their business not my business and god has a way of bringing everybody the root he wants to bring them to get them to their destiny and no two roots are the same so leave me alone what is that [Music] [Applause] [Music] come on lift your hand and say i will not get stuck looking at you i love you but i ain't getting stuck looking at you [Applause] i want you to win but i'm not getting stuck looking at you [Applause] [Music] i'll pray for you i'll ask god to help you but nothing you do is going to get me off of my focus [Applause] [Music] i'm almost done peter is about to make the mistake of missing a moment of destiny and personal assignment oh how many people have missed god's instructions to them have come out of moments of destiny and exchange and download and the moment they get a word from god they get offended and lose what god gave them because they lose the instruction folks this is what jesus said he said when he talked about the sower showing the lord of mark 4 he said satan comes immediately to steal the word that's sown in your heart and the major way he comes is offending you trapping you getting somebody to do something that causes you to take your focus off of him and onto them [Applause] jesus jesus is downloading to peter instruction and what you and i have to understand is while our care for our brothers and sisters is a part of our christian responsibility we are not to be so preoccupied with what jesus has in store for some other life or so curious about what somebody else is doing that we don't focus on our own god-given assignment [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what jesus does understand that peter does not understand is that he is here ministering to peter's competitive spirit [Music] peter is a constant competitor he has a constant consciousness of comparison with others i got a friend of mine bishop dale hines in milwaukee he calls it comparisonitis he says it's a christian disease he says it is a disease unique to christians comparisonitis where we are always comparing ourselves to somebody else what about her what about him what about them what about them what and you can't be at peace with yourself because you're always looking at somebody else see peter is always he's the first one in the water well they know it's jesus he's the first one out of the boat to walk on water come on he's the first one at the tomb looking in [Music] [Applause] paulie he's always in somebody's business always want to be he wants to beat everybody [Music] are you there and see if you have that kind of competitive spirit in the kingdom of god that'll trap you baby that'll trap you sir always looking at somebody else always trying to see if i might am i ahead of them and i better than them and have it [Music] are you there it's that it's that competitive spirit that caught that when jesus tells him all of you are going to stumble he's like not me now well i i know you know the rest of these boys jesus but not me you got me wrong i'm i'm better than them [Music] i got more on the ball than them [Music] i'm the water walker [Applause] and jesus no all of you are going to stumble including you pete oh if the spirit of god can crucify that in you he can make you a winner it wasn't even until a few years ago that i realized that my religious upbringing had made me a competitor see because when you remain in an environment where you have to be squeaky clean the best flawless nobody can really know what you're dealing with nobody really knows what you're going through when you live in and this is the this is the environment that religion has created an environment where you cannot really be honest with anybody about what's going on in your life because if you do somebody will get in front of you and take your place in the choir on the deacon board or they'll tell about you so you can't actually be honest you always gotta be in front i preached that to you that that was exactly what was happening in john 5 at the pool of bethesda that's why the man said every time i get ready to go in somebody gets in front of me because in this environment somebody's got to be first all the time [Applause] and and you don't realize it until you've lived in it that what it does is it creates a delusion in you that you can live this christian life flawlessly and you can't that's what the blood was for that's what the cross was about that's what the passion was about that's why he hung and died because he knew none of us could do it without stumbling [Applause] and the moment by the grace of god you are able to release yourself from the delusion that you can be flawless without him and understand that your flawlessness is only in your connection to him that's when you rest that's what jesus said if you're going to find rest for your soul it's only going to be found in your yoke to me the only way it is achieved is when you understand that the two of us are yoked and you are doing nothing by yourself you can do nothing for yourself and your acceptance in the presence of god is because i am standing there right next to you yoked to you and god accepts you consistently and constantly not because of your flawless perfection but because of your flawless connection [Music] [Applause] to me lay your hands upon yourself and so paul who understands this writes i am persuaded that nothing can separate me ah there it is from the agape [Music] of god [Music] i feel like running in here i gotta stop i am persuaded that neither life nor death nor angels nor principalities nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of god which is in christ jesus [Music] ah somebody lift your hands and shout thank you jesus [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lay your hands on yourself allah i heard the holy spirit say to me as i was in meditation and preparation for this he said i'm going to give some people a what is that to me attitude not callous not indifferent [Music] not careless but so focused on what god's will is and plan is for my life and fulfilling my calling and destiny but i refuse to let anything or anyone trap me but not only that but watch it now i'm also so certain that god has his hand on my brother's life [Music] that god has his hand on my sister's life that alaba that he is working his will in them just like he's working it in me but i am not superior to them [Music] they are not inferior to me [Music] they may have another route to their destiny and they might have had some other valleys and some other challenges that i didn't have to go through but that doesn't make them less means they've got a different path a different calling a different route and i am persuaded that just like god is perfecting that which concerns me he's doing the same thing to my brother and the same thing to my sister [Music] see that's what jesus said he said if if i will this for john if john is following my will leave him alone lay your hands upon yourself and at some point thank you jesus at some point [Music] you and i have to accept the reality that we don't know exactly what god is working in that man we don't know exactly what god is doing in that moment we we don't know only he knows what he's doing in that life lay your hands upon yourself look at your neighbor and tell them i'm gonna let god be god in your life [Music] come on look at somebody and say i confess i do not know precisely what god's will is for you i and here's the reality only you can know that the thing i love about god is he doesn't tell you how he's dealing with me [Music] he didn't go by your prayer time and told i told clarence to deal with his anger he don't do that he's not going he's not going into your prayer time he's not going to do that he's going to deal with you and you you about you and her about her and him about him and them about them [Music] come and lay your hands upon yourself and say i refuse to be trapped i refuse come on look at somebody say i'll help you when you call i'll pray for you when you reach out i'll counsel if you ask but other than that i'm gonna let god deal with you come on say amen to this will you do me a favor would you lay your hands upon yourself and if you pray in the holy ghost would you just begin to pray in the spirit if you're next to somebody that you love and you know when you trust and you can lay your hands on them and they won't mind and they can lay their hands on you and you don't mind go ahead and do that i don't i don't want to i don't want to force contact but i do know that in the kingdom the laying on of hands means something i want you just to lay your hands upon yourself and if you pray in the spirit do it if you're watching me live streaming i want you to lay your hands upon yourself if you're next to someone that you trust and love and believe lay hands on them and if you pray in the spirit start doing it because i tell you in the name of jesus of nazareth that the spirit of god is releasing a what is that to me attitude on the saints why not to be callous not to be careless but so you can finish your course with joy so you can fulfill your calling and assignment and destiny and so that nothing and no one else will be able to impede what the spirit of god has for you and then you can love everybody and pray for them knowing come on open your mouth and pray in the holy spirit in the name of jesus my father i thank you that you are perfecting that which concerns every one of your sons every one of your daughters you are the potter and we are the clay and you can do what you want with that which is your own you bought us with a price with the precious blood of jesus we have been purchased [Music] we are your possession and we are not our own you are our shepherd we are the sheep of your pasture you oh the good shepherd come on pray with the holy ghost i pray now in the name of jesus for this my brother this my sister i come against every competitive spirit every mindset and mentality of comparison i pray in the name of jesus that you let this son this daughter of yours see their uniqueness their speciality that they are fearfully and wonderfully made that you have endowed them with gifts and callings and anointings and talents that are unique in all the earth and that you knew you knew that at some point or some time we would stumble and you've already made provision in the blood through your grace for that just like you looked at peter and you said when you are converted this is going to happen but on the other side of it you're going to be able to strengthen somebody else in the name of jesus somebody pray with me now intercessors pray i come against that lying spirit i come against that devil that has told you that it's over that it won't work that it cannot be and in the name of jesus of nazareth i declare that you are moving to the other side now the resurrection side the conversion side the getting upside down in the name of jesus come on children pray just about another 60 seconds in the holy [Music] [Applause] [Music] unbearable [Music] my [Music] lay your hands upon yourself [Music] there is a grace there is an anointing that is being released right now the spirit of the lord just spoke this in my spirit i need you to hear me lay your hands upon yourself you that are watching me live streaming lay your hands upon yourself you better in the tabernacle lay your hands upon yourself [Music] i just heard the spirit of the lord say to me that there are two graces to anointings that are being released and these are as miraculous as a healing from cancer they are as miraculous as the disappearing of a cyst or a tumor it's the same miracle working power the lord said the first of them is the grace to be honest [Music] with god and yourself about who you are in his presence [Music] there is something that happens when you are able to be naked and unashamed there is something that occurs when you're able to say god this is who i am i recognize these flaws i recognize these imperfections i recognize my proneness to stumble i recognize that i am not all i thought i was and here i am and when you know you'll not be rejected and you'll not be turned away and you'll not be judged and you're not and you'll not be condemned in his presence you'll be able to do it and you'll find rest for your soul you'll find as i've often said he loves you just the way you are and he loves you too much to leave you that way [Music] then the second of those graces and anointings i need you to hear me is the grace and the anointing to forgive and release yourself god has forgiven god has released but sometimes we trap ourselves i'll never forget when i was reading and i'm i'm done don't forget what i was reading in the book of romans where paul asked the question who can bring a charge against god's elect he said it is god who justified what does that mean it means that when you were justified all the evidence against you was deleted it wasn't that your case was dismissed it's that the evidence that was against you was deleted it was washed away so when paul asked the question who can bring a charge against god's elect he is pointing out the fact that not even the devil has evidence against you so if a charge is still being brought against you you're the one bringing it you're the one still charging yourself still condemning yourself still replaying the video [Music] there is a grace that comes on your life it's being released now to get you unstuck to get you untrapped so you can live and move and have your being again [Music] in him lay your hands up on yourself my father in the name of jesus i release and i dispense that grace [Music] by reason of the anointing on every heart in every life on every circumstance in every situation and every individual who has heard your word and trusting and believing you right now and i decree in the name of jesus no weapon that is formed against this man this woman this young person who's listening to me will prosper i decree in the name of jesus now that rest for the soul comes into this man into this woman's life and i thank you that they will begin to find your yoke is easy and your burden is light in the name of jesus of nazareth if you receive that just lift your hands and begin to thank god sing that through one time do it it's a new season it's a new day [Applause] and prosperity it's a new season and i receive it i want you to sing in there of is and prosperity hey it's coming my [Music] i received prosperity [Music] and it's coming to me lay your hands upon yourself one time more please i want everybody to focus with me here just lay your hands upon yourself and if the word of the lord has come to you and you know this word is for you if the word of god has come to you and the word was on time end time if it illuminated if it released if it ministered to you i'm talking to you now i want you to lay your hands upon yourself i want every person who is listening to this preacher every individual under the sound of my voice i want you to get ready with me now to sow into the anointing to sow into the word of god i was reading this just again this week in galatians where paul talks about when the word of god has been given to you to sow into that word he said let him that is taught in the word communicate which literally means to give respond in all good things with him that teaches and that's when he says he that sows to the spirit will of the spirit reap ayanna's zoe unstoppable life what he's talking about there is the power of the word that is spoken into your spirit continuing to produce there's something about the act of soul this is one of the ways that the word that is sewn into your heart is protected from the fowl of the air the bible says satan comes immediately to steal but when you sow into a word when you say god that was my word i thank you for it the spirit of god spoke and i'm thanking and sowing down to the spirit see because if the word of god ministered to you it wasn't clarence mcclendon it was the spirit of god speaking to you i want every person under the sound of my voice to get ready to sow a seed i heard this in my spirit as i was worshiping i heard in my spirit to challenge a number of people to sow a seed today of a hundred dollars one zero zero i want everybody who can to sow a seed of at least 77.00 if you can i want you to sow the impartation seed because there is a dispensation a dispensing of the grace of god that's happening there is an anointing for miracles in the area that i just said and god by his spirit is literally going to get multitudes of men and women unstuck from this word and empowered to move on now if that's you sir if that's you ma'am i want you to get ready i want you to sew no games no gimmicks no coercion if you're not sensing to do anything don't do anything but there are a number of you the spirit of god has spoken to there's some pastors and leaders who have heard this word and some of you just said i wish i could have this word and just play it for your people just play it for him play it for him take it off and keep it amen there's something in the spirit that god is doing for his body right now and it is in preparation for some things god doesn't want you to get stuck at any point in this next wave there are some things that are about to hit that are going to change everything in your life and mine did you hear what i just said some things god is going to manifest in these next several months they're going to change the dynamic and the complexion of churches ministries people cities regions i'm telling you and you and i are in on it on the first wave somebody say on the first wave yeah we're gonna be on the first wave so i want you right now to get ready to sew right there on your computer screen there's a donate button you can sell that way you can text give cem to 41444 some of you need to call the number on the screen there are some of you the weight of this word the anointing of this word ministered to you to such a degree you need to call and get someone's agreement i've got prayer ministers ready to agree you need to call and get somebody's agreement in something the lord dealt with you about in this word sow your seed and watch what god will do on the other side of your believing amen amen if you've got the bishop of clinton that you can use that to give or you can bring the gift live anytime during the week tuesday through thursday 11 uh to 2 p.m and people are coming every week to sow into this place i've got people here ready to receive ready to agree with you why because these grounds god said or grounds that people would come to and things would happen supernaturally god's drawing people all the time here so if he's leading you to do it make sure you do it or you can come to any live worship experience here and so but however you do it do it with joy do it with expectation if you're here in the tabernacle and you're giving again if you're making out a check c emm is the way you do it if you're giving cash use the envelope or you can go to one of these dear ladies in the aisle and they will assist you with a bank or credit card transaction but once again let's believe god together if you have given or you've got your gift prepared if you're watching me live streaming or you're here in the tabernacle if you've given or you're getting ready to give i want you to lift your seat and lift your hands if you haven't prepared your gift yet stop what you're doing lift your hands and agree with me and then you can go back to preparing it because the prayer of agreement is important i want you to say these words out loud say in the name of jesus lord i receive your word and i sow this seed not to get you to do something but because of what you have already done and i say thank you for the word for the anointing and what shall be manifested i boldly confess in favor in finance in things being added to me i am blessed i am prospering i am moving forward i am not stuck in the name of jesus amen and amen give as unto the lord and let's worship god

to be grape juice and crackers the bible declares the bread which we bless the cup which we bless this is how we partake this is how we commune this is how we become benefactors of the finished work of jesus once again communion is not just a sacrament it's not just an ordinance it is the wisdom of god for the new creation it is a weapon in the hand of the new creation it is the way of escape the scripture declares and so i want you to lift the bread up and say these words out loud say lord jesus i receive your word and i receive your body given for me and according to the scriptures i was with you through the entire process [Music] and according to the scriptures you took my sin my sickness my poverty it has been paid for in full and it is illegal for me to be charged twice [Music] for that which jesus has already paid for once i receive the finished work on my behalf let's all eat together [Music] [Music] the bible says then jesus took the cup and he said this cup is the new covenant it is the new agreement in my blood the agreement is between god and jesus and the new covenant declares god says i will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and lawless deeds i will remember no more i want you to lift the cup and say the blood has remitted all my sin my sins are remitted there is nothing standing between me and the goodness of god if i dare to believe it i receive every benefit of the new covenant and of the new creation jesus the word declares as you are so am i in this world i receive from the resurrected body from the resurrected lord and i walk in
