There is BREAKTHROUGH in Your BREAKING - From Grapes to Wine 🍇 | Vlad Savchuk

today I would like to speak to us about this  vision that God has given to us and this vision   is to reach thousands locally millions globally  the picture that we have of that is to impact   our society with the message of Jesus to fill the  waves of the internet the Facebook the Instagram   the youtube the tick-tock also with the  message of Jesus christ bringing this vision down   to the practical nitty and gritty part of this as  Ivan has mentioned concerning the destiny training   the prayers the prayer requests that we are  praying for prayer needs meaning we are praying   for new people to be saved in our church I'm going  to share with you about three years ago I started   to feel inside of me that as a local church not  as a conference not as a movement but as a local   church there was something that was lacking in the  structure and in the system of our local church   it started with my trip to Philippines when I saw  young people it was a large church in Philippines   megachurch in Philippines we rented  a mall to do our service there   and I saw 1 000 people give their life to  Jesus in one night but these were not just   people who came to the front and we did not  know where they were coming to get more of god   or they came to the front because they really  wanted to get saved because each person   the way I knew there was a thousand people  because each person came with someone who's been   working on them for the two months and so the  whole altar was packed it was in the middle of the   mall I mean the mall is packed with teenagers  and the doors were open it's straight into the   center of the mall so when I was preaching  people were just sneaking in and walking in   it was beautiful and it left an impact on me to be  intentionally teaching our church myself included   to evangelize and to take care of new people that  pastors don't take care of you people but the body   takes care and every person is involved with that  i started to look at the model of american church   and if I could realize the great commission and  this is not to blame any church this is first   to take a look at inside of what's happening  here and this is how it will look like go into   all the world and make members of every visitor  teaching them how to download planning center   app and signing up to serve at the local church  once a month and if they ever get burned out make   sure you put him on the snooze for three months  and though i am with you until the end of the age   I felt like the churches our churches first got  really good at turning visitors into members   but the great commission is not go into all the  world and make members great commission is go   into all the world and make disciples and as  even as I was there I started to ache and realize   something is missing within a western church God  forbid persecution comes most of us won't make it   when pandemic came the church in the western  world was not prepared for that because churches   that are led by events cannot survive pandemic  but churches that are equipped where believers are   equipped to be ministers in their own houses you  can throw us in the fire you can throw us in the   flood you can have a Biden you can have Trump, you  can have whoever you want we're gonna make it why   because we're not living by events we are living  by evangelism and we are living by discipleship   the bible says go into all the world and make  disciples how we live that today in our country   is go into all the world and make services go  into all the world and make events go into all the   world and make summer camps go into all the world  and make conferences but the bible clearly teaches   us to go into all the world and make disciples of  all nations and so three years ago I started to   on this journey it's about five years that I feel  like in f it's two more years where the culture of   our church is going to shift from a church that  has small groups and evangelism is a department   where somebody else is involved in to a church of  small groups and evangelism is the direction that   every person is involved in and so three years  ago we started to talk about it with our team   last year we started to develop already changes  to our system everyone in our church knows how to   become a member you take the life class or growth  track but if you ask any person in the church how   do you become a disciple-maker if you ask 20  people you're going to get 20 different answers   and i started to recognize why because we don't  have a process by which people go from being a   believer to being a disciple and some of us even  bought into that lie well we don't want to push   everyone to be a leader we're not talking about  being leaders we're talking about being disciple   makers whether you have a personality to be a  leader or not you're called to be a disciple-maker   you know we don't look at you if when you come in  as a visitor to hungry gen and we're like uh you   have a business no you can't be a member uh what?  You're a single mom no you can't be a member. We  know that whatever state you have in your life it  doesn't change you becoming a member of the church   the same thing is with being a disciple  of Jesus Christ, you can be a businessman   you can be a police officer, you can be  unemployed, you can be on a government   assistance and by the way let me say this  if you are under government assistance   I don't want you to take this testimony as  some kind of a shame or being belittlement   of the stage that you are in so, I want you  I don't want you to kind of feel that maybe   you're coming for the first time you're like man  they're really dissing on that we're not and so   but we do want to encourage people to come out of  that so that we can be a blessing to other people   amen so I just wanted to make that correction but  whatever state that you are in you are called to   be a disciple-maker you are called to be a person  who is a disciple of Jesus Christ and a disciple   maker I remember being in Philippians and i  looked at those people I'm like one well you know   making disciples that's kind of god's job  you know god really moves organically upon people   because this pastor asked me he says what do you guys do for disciple-making? I'm like um not a lot   nothing I was like god moves upon our leaders  and our leaders just kind of disciple people   and he said interestingly he said does god also  move upon people to become members like that   or you have a system and intentionally  you encourage people to become members   I said we have a system and intentionally we  pursue that he says the bible does not say   go and God will organically make disciples God  says you make them he said the same way you make   members is the same way you can make disciples  and so it's been a three-year journey for us and   this year something started to happen where we are  taking our life group leaders and our members we   have about 95 people right now in these eight  weeks on Monday nights and we are taking them   through this thing called destiny training what we  our goal is to move people from believing in Jesus   to belonging to church through life groups  life class through being built in the kingdom   of god so that they can become disciples  of Jesus Christ and this destiny training   it's nine weeks but we know that nine weeks does  not make somebody into a disciple-maker that's   like putting your kid an infant into like a nine  week microwave and for them to come out an adult   that's never gonna happen okay but if they don't  have a house if they don't have a diet and if they   don't have parents and if there's no some kind  of a system in your house to raise the toddler   into an adult it will never happen you can't  just dump him into a forest and hope that wild   beasts will raise him up no you have intention  reality you do things to raise your toddler   into and responsible adult and so we know that  these classes are not going to make necessarily   people mature but this is just the process by  which we can start becoming equipment knowledge   and then empowered with obedience to be who  God called us to be amen go into all the world   and not make events but make disciples a challenge  for me is as a pastor move from encouraging   to equipping we have to have a clear system for  membership but also for discipleship our church is   not just about growing a crowd it's about raising  an army we had a time at that before where it was   easier to become a leader small group in our  church than to become a member of the church   and as you know things have changed we only  have one membership class on the first Sunday   of the month and second Sunday service which will  happen next week but to become a disciple-maker is   a longer process and it's not for everyone at  first evangelism is a direction of our church   not just our department and we're not just praying  for the lost we're preparing the laborers and I   believe that we're going to have a low rate of  burned out believers because they're burning   with the vision of Jesus Christ we redefined our  wins our wins is not did we have a great service   it's very difficult to measure great service  because everyone's definition of great service is   different our win is do people get saved how many  people got saved in their church how many people   got water baptized is there a transformation in  their life we're not talking about crying a tear   because your boyfriend broke up with you yesterday  but we're talking about a heart transformation   where god pulls you from darkness into light where  your whole world changes where the things you used   to do you stop doing that where you are now sold  out for Jesus Christ we redefined our wins we   build laborers not just leaders our goal is not  to make people into leaders have titles   laborers have a heart and everybody has a heart  for those of you like men but I'm not a leader   Jesus never said go and make leaders he says go  and make disciples can you be a disciple can you   disciple others can you care for the people that  you bring to Christ and teach them the bible and   so that is really the goal we build processes not  just programs we're about equipping the saints   not just making more events we love events but the  church has an addiction for events the church has   an addiction for conferences and all this stuff  and it's a great thing it looks good on photos   amazing impact but the lasting result in  person's life is the process of discipleship   pandemic has shown that the church cannot live  by events but it has to live by its purpose   and so that is kind of where we are at and  now toward I did an introduction let me just   do the conclusion and uh we're going to pray  I want to speak today about the myth of being   ready this will be the first miracle that  jesus has committed turning water into wine   this is a picture of the gospel because Jesus  takes religion and turns it into relationship   where there's joy where there's fulfillment the  law took water and churned it into blood in Egypt   Jesus takes water and turns it into wine and so  that's a beautiful picture of the gospel of Jesus   christ but I would like to take it an application  from it that applies to us as the church applies   to us as members a place to us as visitors and as  guests of hungry generation john gospel of john   chapter 2 it says the following and the third day  there was a wedding in Canaan of galilee and the   mother of Jesus was there now both Jesus and his  disciples were invited to the wedding and when   they ran out of the wine the mother of Jesus said  to him they have no wine so this wedding runs out   of the wine and the mother of Jesus comes to him  and says they have no wine the bible makes us to   understand in gospel of Matthew chapter 9 that  the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are   few so god is running out of workers in the same  way the feast ran out of wine there was a shortage   of wine in the feast but the bible tells us there  is a shortage of workers in god's field as well   and today the church the mother is is making a  call to every believer and saying hey the harvest   has a shortage of laborers the same way the mother  looked to Jesus and says hey they have no wine   the day I have a proclamation is the father who is  not just the father of the house he's the lord of   the harvest and he's making a call he says the  laborers are few but the harvest is plentiful   meaning the world is ready to be ripe the  world is ready to be saved but he says i   am recruiting I am asking for people to rise  up and feel the shortage now of course the   response of Jesus is the response of every  person in this room that's not my problem and this is not I did not want to belittle the son  of most high God but Jesus replied back to her and   he said to her um woman only Jesus can get away  with calling his mom woman what does this concern   have to do with me not my wedding not my problem  and then he says my hour hasn't come yet we'll   touch that in a moment it's not my problem it's  not my wedding and maybe today you feel exactly   the same way about reaching the world for Christ  Vlad that's cool that's awesome that's for people   like you who get paid to be a Christian but it's  not for me it's not my job it's not my problem   and if God has a problem of reaching unreached  world parts if god has that problem well that   is his problem but that's not mine if  you're taking notes write this down   even if it's not your problem it is your  responsibility it is your purpose it was   not Jesus's problem that the fact they ran out of  wine but it was his purpose of being on this earth   to demonstrate the glory of God the world is not  your problem but it is your purpose you were born   again for the purpose of not just warming a church  pew you were born again with the purpose not just   to keep and maintain your salvation into the  second coming of Jesus you were saved delivered   and healed not only so that you can finally have a  job of your dreams have a house of your dreams go   on the vacation of your dreams and have an RV, have  a boat, have a dog, and then go and retire at the age   of 60. that is not the purpose of life the purpose  of life is to please him who enlisted us and so it   might not be your problem but my friend every each  one of us have a purpose and it is our purpose amen I'm so glad Jesus looked at my  sin and didn't say not my problem   I'm so glad when I was headed straight  into hell and Jesus didn't say well not   my problem, that was his decision that  got him there you know I warned him   he knew better it wasn't his problem that i  was going to hell it wasn't God's problem that   you were disobedient rebellious and served the  devil blindly full of the seed Jesus came down   on earth and said no it's not my problem but  it is my purpose my friend you may feel like   I'm not qualified this is not for me  to do all of this winning the lost and   praying and fasting and engaging with the  mission of Jesus Christ for me that's just not   my problem it is your purpose and if you don't buy  into this purpose today if you don't subscribe to   this purpose if you don't get entangled and  get yourself wrapped up with this purpose if everyone does that there will be a lot of  blood on our hands on the judgment seat there   are people who will be saved because we said yes  the same way you are saved because Jesus said yes   the difference between us  and Jesus is it's not our yes   that saves people but it is our yes that  delivers the salvation Jesus paid for to them   and lack of that yes is going to cause  a lot of people not to meet Jesus christ   lack and my addiction to my comfort my addiction  to my you know the way kind of my life is already   the college the school the ministry and all of  that but if the mission of Jesus Christ is not   the most important thing I have responsibility  to the lord because he saved me with a purpose   with an assignment amen the second thing that i  want to mention from this one is i'm not ready   Jesus says my time has not come yet so first he's  like it's not my problem but it is my purpose   so I'm going to be involved in this the second  one is it's not my time I'm not ready for this   even if you're not ready you're still responsible  it might not be god's will it might not be god's   time for you right now to be involved fully in  god's commission but it is still god's will for   you this is what i hear a lot of people say  the moment they hear anything about starting   a life group evangelizing to others and this is  what people a lot of times Christians say well   this is not for me but you're Christian but  you're a disciple it might not be your time   but it does not mean it's not your responsibility  don't confuse god's will with god's time you might   be hurting right now emotionally you might just  gotten saved so it's not your time you might have   came out or going through deliverance so it's  not your time to go disciple other people 100   you need to wait for it but do not ever say things  like it's not for me because it's not my time   be honest with yourself and say you know what  I'm hurt I burned out I went from another   church maybe where the leadership was toxic or  perhaps I had a really bad experience, somebody   dumped me somebody threw me under the bus and  involved I poured myself into this person and   they back dicks backfired and you know what  it's not my time right now but it is still   my responsibility and I do my see myself doing  it maybe not next month maybe not even next year   but i can tell you count me in don't count me out  why just because it's not my time it does not mean   God's will change with not my time it's still  God's will even if it's not god's time for you   and jesus did not say i'm not going  to do it he just said it's not my time   I'm just not ready for that right now  there's something about not being ready   is that you're never ready have you noticed  how in the next verse it's not my time   and he went and did the miracle because that's how  time of god changes your mama can change your time   Jesus mama said hey Jesus uh all this whole  time thing I don't understand it they need   they have a problem and you can do something  about it could you please do it Jesus like not   my time he's like I don't understand this  stuff she gets the servant says hey guys   just be ready any moment and Jesus pretty much  goes in and switch it the time switched nothing   really changed except there was a need and Jesus  adjusted that time and he went and started serving   a lot of people have to understand you'll never be  ready to serve there's no such thing as I'm ready   you always become ready as you obey god when  I was called to preach at a very tender age   of 14 years of age, my pastor told me that  I need to preach was I ready of course not but I did not wait he did not wait for me to get  ready do you know how I got ready by preaching   now most of you were not here so i just  want to give huge thank you to every person   who suffered through my preaching for  10 years and you did not lose your   Christianity I just want to say thank you  there is a great reward for you in heaven the need can change god's time the myth of when  I am ready then I'm going to do it at the age   of 16 so at the age of 14 I started to preach  was I ready no now the church was so small so   the damage was very limited plus my pastor was  there and he would always correct anything I  would say off you know he will get up and say  well that's not actually what the bible says   I'm like I thought I did I saw somebody said on  tbn and so he's a tbn is not the bible and so   and then he would he would bring correction was i  already know but at the same time was there a need   yeah and I couldn't say well I'm  not ready for this there was a need   you might not be a great swimmer but if somebody's  drowning you don't say well I'm going to take   swimming lessons and go and help them it's going  to be too late you go and you help the best you   know-how if there's somebody starving you say  well I'm not a chef I don't have education   on that same thing with having children were you  ready to have children most of you know because   your kids are seeing still a counselor and some  of the decisions parents made were they ready no   but that's how you learn to be a great  parent and sometimes having children   were you ready to get married for those people  who thought they were ready you were not ready   and those of you who got married and honestly  you were not really ready but as long as you're   obedient to God's word and you repented and  you're taking some classes and everything   next thing that happens is that you grew you  definitely was a jerk before but now you're   saying Jesus look a little closer to Jesus  and you're doing a great job you get ready   through the process of marriage, you don't get  ready by just going to a marriage university   under no circumstances want to downplay  preparing yourself but there is this idea   of once I get ready at the age of 16 I became  a youth pastor was I ready to be a youth pastor   no I didn't even want to be a youth pastor  it happened because the guy before me quit   after six months and then the guy after him quit  after six months and there was nobody else left   so a lot of times we don't do things because well  you know I felt the call of God upon my life well   there was a need and even though i wasn't ready  not my time mom but sometimes god will use the   pastor he will use the leader who will say you  know what forget about your time there is a world   to say and then I want you to engage with that  mission and as you engage with that mission god   will prepare you god will mature you and god  will strengthen you and god will develop you   I remember when I felt the call of god i  told my pastor I'm going to go to college   and I'm going to get the proper training  like every pastor in town and pastor says   you're not going to be like every pastor  in town and he said I want you to train   differently i want you to be engaged with  the mission he says we have a need if you   go to university for four years what do you think  we're going to pause the church and stop because   great anointed Vladimir went to university and  you're going to come back with brains bigger   than this building and now you're going to what  cast out demons because they're going to teach   you that in college pastor said no he says we  have a need and the need is more important i   want you to serve i want you to read books i  want you to take classes and as you say yes   to God he begins to develop and prepare you for  the very thing you went into not being ready for   god will mature you through your obedience  but devil will keep you in immaturity due to   due to your excuses you have to be mature to get  married and you have to get married to be mature   only married people just understood what I said  the single of you like what you just contradicted   yourself that's exactly the beauty of marriage  you have to be mature to get married and you   have to get married to be mature certain maturity  you have to have in your life to go into marriage   same thing is with ministry you have to have  maturity you have to have foundation which is   why we have the destiny training but there is  maturity you will never get in the university   there is maturity you will never get in your  mom's house as long as she does your laundry   and cooks for you and as long as they take care of  you there is a maturity you will only get when you   have to pay your own bills you have to do your  own laundry and you have to find your own food   and once you get married there is a maturity you  thought you had maturity you thought that you   could get along with your mama and your sisters  you thought you could get along with your dad   and with your brothers like man I got this until  you get married like man I was totally immature   marriage will mature you same thing with  ministry if you wait until you get a degree   if you wait until you go to a seminar cemetery  uh if you wait when you go through   training if you wait till you know what I'm  gonna wait for 20 years all of these issues   will be solved and then I will be ready to serve  my friend that is not how ministry works disciples   did not wait for all of this stuff they start  stirving serving you can steer a parked car   God can mature you through obedience and if he  calls you to witness to your friend you don't   tell that friend can you hold on why I need to go  through evangel evangelism classes no you obey god   and god matures you you obey god and god develops  you the same thing we mature in marriage the same   way we mature in ministry so I want to challenge  those people in here today who say I am not ready   to tell you you're probably more ready than you  realize because if you would use that idea in   marriage you would have never been married if you  would have used that idea in building a house like   victoria is not a contractor she didn't  say well I'm not ready for the house why I don't   know how to build a house how many of you have  a house and you don't know how to fix things in   the house don't raise your hand right now a lot of  us but you still buy a house how many of you here   today you have children but honestly you're not  an expert on child rising raising your children   raising your children you're not an  expert how many of you here are married   but you're not a counselor how many of us here  today we make food but we're not a chef so for   those of you who are like you need to be a  professional no in the kingdom you don't   need to be professional to make disciples you just  need to be humble and obedient that's it now there   will be professionals but the rest of us we're not  the elites we're just everyone who are obedient   to the lord there will be professionals but  we're not the professionals we are the obedient   and so if you're making excuses today that i  don't want to do this I don't want to be involved   in that because it's not for me it's not because  you're not professional it's because you're lazy   and you're making excuses if you've become  obedient to God will develop your maturity   god will develop your gifts and people will call  you professional and you were like no I'm not   I'm just trying to be obedient people look at me  like man you're such a great pastor I was like no   I was like I'm totally not the type of pastor I'm  like I'm not even comfortable with the name pastor   and stuff but because my whole life was never  about being professional my whole life was   about being obedient just obey and then god  matures you obey and god develops you and the   last thing that I want to share is with  those people who feel like they are ready   you know what I'm ready for  ministry those people they scare me   it's that 16 year old comes in and  tells you that he's ready for marriage you're like no you're not it's your nine-year-old  kid comes in and says mom I'm ready for my car   you're like no you're not you just got out of  diapers you're ready for raking leaves you're   ready to go play with the dog but you're not ready  for the car one day you will be ready it's still   god's will for you to drive a car it's not god's  time for you to drive a car this is what god does   with this example of wine there's two there's two  ways to make wine the first one is the natural one   it's when you take water no-no that's not  natural actually it's totally I was just   seeing if you're paying attention the first  one is grapes you take grapes and then you   have to crush them and then you  know they go through a time of um   firmer fermentation and then after a while they  become wine we don't drink wine at the church   albert juice and uh so grapes turn into wine  with time that's a natural process but there's   one thing you can't become wine because you're a  grape has whatever what it takes to be wine   there are people in this room under the sound  of my voice who naturally by god's grace you're   gifted with leadership abilities you're gifted  with a prophetic insight you're smart person   you are you have what it takes to be who God wants  you to be and that is your biggest problem why   because you think because you  have grapes you will be wine   but there's only one secret where grapes become  wine is through being crushed and you hate that and the reason why you feel like you  don't need crushing is because you're so   gifted all you need is become bigger grape  if I could just make these grapes bigger   but the problem the more you leave grapes  on the sun they become raisins not wine gifted people who are not broken become raisins  instead of wine what becomes out of us is this   not wine we're not used by God the way God wants  us to be in fact we become frustrated with god   why I have everything it takes to be used by god  and I'm not being used by him because the son of   time the son of pride the son of I don't want my  life to be broken fasting is not from me why I'm   too gifted why but I was humbling myself is not  for me, I don't need a pastor to submit to that   stuff is not for me and you will remain a raisin  instead of being the wine that God wants you to be   for people like me it's a little bit  easier because i'm not a grape i'm a water   I don't have what it takes to be a wine I don't have the looks to be wine I don't have  the English to be a wine have you noticed how   many mistakes I made in just 30 minutes I don't  have what it takes I don't now I can improve on   my water and purify it and make it coconut water  and vitamin water but I wasn't born as a grape   but see what I love about the story of water  into wine is that Jesus says I can take somebody   I gifted naturally as long as they go through  breaking I will make him into something great   but the lord also says I'm looking for people  who are born on the wrong side of the track I'm   looking for people everybody told you you don't  have what it takes to be successful you don't have   what it takes to be used by God you don't look  right you don't talk right you don't have this you   don't have that your mama was this your daddy was  that you made some mistakes in your past and Jesus   says give me some of that water because I can turn  water it does not have what it takes to be wine   into wine come on somebody maybe you're here today  and you're like I don't have what it takes to be a   leader I don't have what it takes to be a preacher  of the gospel I don't have what it takes to pray   for the sick I don't have what it takes I'm so  shy and timid I cannot talk to my neighbors about   christ I cannot talk to my friends about Jesus  I don't have what it takes my friend the first   miracle of Jesus is to take water and turn it  into something that naturally that's not possible   how can god take a guy who is so shy to speak  in front of group of people because I was that   water I had no natural abilities I didn't have  what it takes to be a preacher of the gospel but   that's exactly what Jesus wanted he took water  and he made it into wine and then he will take   grape and the moment you think you have what it  takes he will crush and then he'll make you Moses   thought he had what it takes he went and killed a  guy in Egypt I got what it takes I got the punch   I can hit like Muhammad Ali I got the education i  was trained at the best universities I'm the right   guy for the job and then God says not really he  says there's only one way I take a grape into wine   is I have to crush you and 40 years of crushing  until when god came and says you're ready Moses   says no I'm not I can't speak no I'm not I'm  not a guy why I don't know how to do anything   god i am nothing why because when a man  is crushed god says now i can use you   maybe you are here today and you feel like i  have what it takes I am gifted I am anointed   why is that church not recognizing the anointing  of god upon my life because my friend you're just   a grape turning into a raisin and god wants to  use the grave to go through breaking god wants   your will to be broken God wants your heart to  be broken God wants you to be a submissive person   God wants you to be a serving person god wants  you to be a person who goes through a crushing   goes through a breaking I'm not talking about  abuse I'm not talking about something somebody   you know violating your will but I'm talking about  you denying yourself because today I am on the   other side where in certain areas I am gifted when  we started this year one of the reasons that we   went for an extended period of fasting is because  after a while I don't want to be a glorious grape   I don't want to be a person the people looking  at me and say well wow look he has what it takes   i said god take every crepe and break it break my  will that's why you will see me crying on the on   the carpet at Friday night prayers and stuff  so because I know that what I have right now   is also God's blessing to some degree but god  has to break that if God wants to do something   supernatural that I will never be able to get  the glory from that's why at the end of this   miracle the bible says and Jesus revealed his  glory I don't want people to see the grape i   want people to see the glory and for them to see  the glory this guy has to be broken the self in   me has to die on the cross and for us to go from  the grave to be a wine you have to not just come   to the cross and receive forgiveness you have  to get on the cross and receive sanctification   you don't just come to Jesus to discover who you  are you have to come to Jesus and deny who you are   come on somebody are you with me the Lord  wants to take the grape and he wants to   crush it may your legacy not be raisins died  gifted but also completely not used by god   why because the sun-dried you up and yes  raisins are still good but it's not what the   lord intended may I pray in the name of Jesus  that you will be a person that you and I are   water if you are water god  wants to turn you into wine   if you are grapes god wants to turn you into wine  if you are grapes there's only one secret god has   to break you your will has to be broken it happens  through prayer it happens through fasting it   happens through submission and it happens through  doing things honestly you don't really like   that's crushing it's when you come in  and you realize that position they give you   a church is way smaller than the anointing  you got but you don't concern yourself for   that you concern yourself make sure that your  character is not smaller than your anointing   that's what you concern yourself with make sure  that your integrity is greater than your influence   that's what you concern yourself with  waters I have an instruction for you   if you are here today and you are water  there's only one secret the question is   not whether you have what it takes the question  is whether you are willing to do what he says   what did Jesus what the mother of Jesus told  the servants she told them this do what he says   doesn't make sense are you going to do what he  says I'm not the right person for a job are you   going to do what it says I don't feel adequate are  you going to do what it says I can't speak are you   going to do what I say god looks at Moses I  I stutter god says I know are you going to do   what I say are you gonna go to pharaoh because god  will take a person who doesn't have what it takes   who's willing to do whatever he says and he'll  turn water into wine and people will look at   that person and say there is no way on earth  there is no factory there is no university there   is no skill that this thing can turn into this  it's supernatural but there is a secret to the   supernatural and the secret is this when you don't  have what it takes you have to do whatever he says   then god will supernaturally change your  personality god will supernaturally endow you   with gifts God will begin to use you in a way that  the servants looked back and the bible says and   the servants knew how the water turned into wine  and everyone in the wedding wondered the master   of the wedding had a degree on how to run weddings  but he was clueless about the miracle power of god   happening under his nose why were servants knew  it the master had the knowledge but the servants   had the experience why because servants don't  question the orders of Jesus Christ, Jesus   never used the master to make the water into wine  because he would google it and say Jesus are you   sure that's not how the wine is made Jesus this is  water, water doesn't turn into wine like that Jesus   you're doing it the wrong way but the servants  don't ask questions they just obey are you willing   to be an obedient servant I don't care if you have  more degrees than a thermometer I don't care if   you have more greater position everybody in trade  series knows you or it doesn't matter today if   honestly you fail more than you can count and you  have accepted yourself as a labor as a loser and   as a person who's simply not going to amount to  anything the question is not whether you have what   it takes but do you have the ability to do what  he says if you do he will make miracles out of you   the question is not are you able but are you  available question is not are you a leader are   you willing to labor the question is now do you  have the right skills are you able to be a servant   and the question is not even are you educated with  knowledge the real question is are you equipped   with obedience don't worry about the fact that you  don't have what it takes be willing to do whatever   he says I'm a living testimony and hundreds of  people in this room the only way to be used by God   to reach people and make disciples heal the sick  and cast out devils if you are wine if you are   grapes you're going to have to be crushed not by  the pastor but by your surrender to god's will   your gift is not enough your gift will put  you in the room it'll never break the yoke   your gift can make you popular but it will make  you never make you a threat in the kingdom of   darkness your gift can give you book deals and  can give you connections but your gift will never   intimidate the prince of darkness what does that  is when a gift goes through crushing when through   fasting through self-denial through obedience to  god you're letting this precious grape and say God   I don't want to be a grape i  want to be a wine break me Lord   when you pray that prayer be willing for god  to give you opportunities where you have to say   no to yourself and yes to your wife or yes to  other people and you will be broke and you're   like man I don't want to do this but the  will is be broken even Jesus the messiah   had to go through crushing to become the wine  the salvation for us the same principle is   going to be for you and me but maybe you're on  the other side today and you come in and you're   like Vlad, I don't need to go through crushing my  life is already crushed I am broken to pieces   how the Lord wants to use you is to remind you might you have been born with water the lord   will still use you if you stop focusing on the  fact that you don't have what it takes but focus   on the fact you are willing to do whatever he says  if you're willing to do that god will do wonders   he will raise you as a leader he will raise you as  a disciple he will raise you as an influencer for   your family and friends I'm not talking about  being famous but you will be fruitful but you   will be a person that God will use mightily  in this world in Jesus name I want to stories hallelujah before we give a call for salvation  today I want to call these two people   to the altar if you are a grape but you  don't want to be a grape you want to be wine   you want to be broken but you need god's help to  be broken I'm not talking about you start doing   something stupid right now uh but I'm talking  about you you're surrendering to the will   of God and saying god not my will but your will be  done it's not what i want but it's what you want   the second category of people you are  so chronically shy timid and insecure   and you don't have what it takes honestly you're  like water you're like there is no way god can   use somebody like me I want you to make your way  make your way out of you out of your seat right   now I want you to come and stand here we're going  to pray with you if you are a grape and you want   to be wine or if you are water and you're like  man I need God's grace I need God's anointing   I'm willing to do whatever it takes to obey God  I'm willing to do whatever it takes to serve God   come to the altar come to the holy spirit break  your will like mary broke the lambaster box break   your pride break your self-will your stubbornness  and say god not my will but your will be done   it's not what I want it's what you want for me i  will do whatever I have to do to please you god   and I ask you that you will change me I ask  you that you will transform me use me God   let my legacy not be that I was a Christian  let my legacy be that I was a follower of Jesus   that i followed the lamb wherever the lamb went   we love you Jesus we praise you God we honor  you father we honor your father spirit of God   we ask you right now that you will invade this  place turn grapes into wine we break our will   close your eyes open up your spirit of the lord  let the holy spirit fill you right now let the   spirit of God touch you right now let the power of  God come upon you right now if I can have the most let god break your pride let god  break your self-will right now   let things that you hold on to let things
