"This Is Crazy" | Guest Speaker John Gray

before you sit down I just need to take a moment because I believe in honor I I needed some Wi-Fi so I asked you're the head of your sound who I've known for 15 almost 20 years now I said I need the password and the Holy Ghost poked to me in that moment and he said some pulpits are password protected there are there are pulpits that are passed through pulpits that anybody can just come and go then there are other pulpits that are password protected you don't just walk up into world changers because the Spirit of the Living God dwells here the Word of God dwells here integrity dwell is here character dwells here balance dwells here beauty dwells miracles dwell here that golden dome is not a game that's a sign it's a symbol it's like the bat signal the Holy Ghost is always welcome in here and so it's one of the highest honors of my life to be in this pulpit right now and I want to I want to say to your pastors - pastor Creflo Dollar who is not only one of the generals in the faith and there might be four or five in the world he's one of them oh yes he is oh yes he is now I thought he was just one of the greatest teachers of the word now I find out you Michael Jackson you [Applause] somebody better had a tambourine I'm sweating stay on beat stay on beat the psalmist a songwriter a prophet a preacher a teacher and intercessor and author and a once in a generation game changing voice to the nation's and if nothing we learn last week like the short so you better speak life while you can and give honor while you can can we give honor to the man of God [Applause] and of all the decisions that he made the best one is who he chose to do life with is there a classier woman of God more necessary nuanced relevant can teach and preach yo face off and do it with class and dignity and anointing is there a better representation of what God wants his women to be then pastor Taffi dollar can we thank God for this woman of God and so I'm excited and and and I will say this pastor dollar I haven't been nervous in a long time but I'm nervous and let me tell you why because I don't take this for granted and it lets me know that I'm exactly where I need to be don't ever get casual and comfortable with the call of God on my life because this is not an invitation this was an elevation [Applause] and so I want to pray and then I want to get into the word and and then we're gonna see what the Lord's gonna say Lord Jesus I want to thank you right now for your people 34 years Jesus we're not gonna be quiet today we're going we're gonna thank you today we some of us may wave our hands others may shout others may allow tears to flow but I want to thank you for 34 years of ministry of a life well-lived and and Lord I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of the celebration of this year I believe that you sent me for a number of reasons and the primary reason is to give honor to our general to let him know that he is necessary in the earth that he is more necessary now than he's ever been that he and his wife are covered celebrated protected and yeah we love God and we are classy and dignified but some of us are from Bankhead Jesus and we will set it off when we need to if you mess with our pastor and Lord that's alright because every now and then you need a Peter to cut somebody's ear off Jesus and I want to thank you that we got all of us in here we got the Buckhead and Bankhead in the house we got we got Alpharetta and South DeKalb we got them in here Jesus yes lon we got Cummings and Cascade Jesus and we all are going to give you praise because this is a celebration of everything you want to do and everything that devil couldn't stop so Lord we give you glory today we we bless you right now and there is no God like you and we lift up a sound that lets you know that we prioritize your presence we honor your and we thank you for the word get all the glory and get it now in Jesus name and we say amen amen thirty seconds of the greatest praise you can [Music] you may be seated for a few moments I feel the Holy Ghost wake your son up he sleep on the third row if he was playing video games he'd be wide awake wake up boy my momma made me come here good we need to make our kids show up we don't make education optional why would you make God optional I got a little energy today pastor dollar cuz I'm 52 pounds down from my heaviest weight I've been carrying so much depression and guilt and shame over here stuff that the enemy had whispered in my ear and I said yes to that instead of saying yes to the word and I carried it but I'm getting it off of me and I feel a different strength and I'm getting different revelation because the more I discipline myself in certain areas the more he releases because he can trust me with it for the long term today is a celebration 34 years of ministry that has changed the world before I get into the word I want to take a moment to give honor I first want to give honor to the woman who said yes to me I met her in Atlanta met her on the other side of the city she was one of the dance ministry leaders at the church where we were serving and that was new birth at the time and she was over there not paying me any attention but I was observing her and and her tattoos for a good year and and and didn't realize how brilliant of a woman she was I just saw that she was committed to God and dedicated to the things of God carried herself with class and dignity didn't know that she was working full time and going to school and getting her third degree and it wasn't anything but the grace of God that he would gift me with a woman that could take what I gave her in seed for him and multiply it not only has she been the best decision I made she's given me a legacy in my seven-year-old son John the fourth and my six-year-old daughter Siri Aspen sky they're 11 months apart that's how we roll bang bang ha she's a native of Dothan Alabama graduate of Florida A&M University and is here with me today we've been married over nine years and I'm grateful to God for her life and her leadership and what she has meant to me baby stand up aventure gray pastor aventure drain hallelujah my in-laws are here from Dothan Alabama the people that raised my bride and are amazing in my life mr. and mrs. a WA and Bonnie cotton from Dothan Alabama please wave and then the woman who introduced me to the Lord Jesus and not just introduced me but lived it in front of me lived a holy life and still continues to live that life she gave me the greatest gift and that is the revelation that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father and she is an unbelievable woman and I could go on and on about her but after my father left us she didn't let that stop her from raising me to be a man of God and I want to thank God for her example and her prayers her intercession in her teaching which have made me what I am today to Alice Graham my mother 77 years young from Cincinnati Ohio now if you'll go to Psalm 34 go to Psalm 34 and the hardest thing in the world is to preach in a place where the word is always fresh don't come in here playing because y'all have heard it off when I heard that revelation to give me something else it's just messing me up you too annoying it now everything I say has already been said but I'm gonna try to say it with a with it with a different little seasoning on it by the way go Kansas City Chiefs where to 49er fans come to the altar you can get delivered yeah sure the Bible says Paul was a cheese apostle I'm not my thing [Applause] [Applause] Paul 34 the book of poems the Book of Psalms Psalm 34 I will bless the Lord occasionally I will bless the Lord 78% of the time I will bless the Lord at all his praise shall occasionally when it is convenient when things are going my way his praise shall continually be in my mouth my soul shall make its boast in my gifts my soul shall boast in my accomplishments my soul shall make its boast in the Lord the humble shall hear of it and be glad o magnify the Lord next to me as somebody are you with me my wife said baby careful the coronavirus you don't need to be tell people talking people's face I said I bind that spirit we're gonna be fine in here I need you to talk to your neighbor asked him are you with me o magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together there is a significance in identifying someone who will worship the Lord with you there will be a number of moments over the next 25 minutes or so where you will have an opportunity to lift up a sound to God it would be great if you had somebody next to you that would participate with you because by the power of - a matter is established and if you could get a three-fold cord it's not easily broken so if you can get one or two people on your row to worship in those moments you might have a breakthrough and the thing about these types of moments is that they are contagious and they spread so just like negativity can spread so can the Word of God so can faith so can worship it can spread and unlock things so just ask somebody will you praise the Lord with me said I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears they look to him and were radiant and their faces were not ashamed this poor man cried out and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles the angel of the lord encamps all around those who fear him and delivers them o taste and see that the Lord is good blessed is the man who trusts him I could go on and on I just want to stay with the o taste and see that the Lord is good and blessed is the man who trusts him and trying to figure out pastor dollar how you arrived at this point 34 years of ministry you and your wife and your yes - God has changed the world see the entirety of humanity shifted off of one life last week one life shifted an entire narrative now everybody is starting to realize that we are not eternal in these bodies and in this flesh and so if there's anything you need to do you better do it right now you better start moving and if there's any relationships that are in need of repair you better get it right right now because tomorrow is not promised and you can't be petty in this season and you can't hold grudges in this season and you can't hold on to offenses in this season you better get it right and now more than ever we need the Word of God we don't need talent we don't need gifts because gifts don't mature character does and we need the Word of God but I'm not talking about just regular reading of Scripture but somebody that knows how to exegete a text and the homiletics and the hermeneutics are sound and every time I watch this manna got on TV and he's carrying his Bible and I love the way he even expresses his worship to God because when he starts speaking in his prayer language it's not histrionics it's not just emotion it's so much a part of who he is it just sounds like his regular talking like the Word of God says he and I Baba she they maybe she I'm late pastor dollar you just what's switched on me you went from English to your prayer language and you didn't scare us because when you really get into the Word of God you don't have to scare people or shame them or spook them it's a natural expression of a relationship that is established not on stages but in prayer closets why am i bringing up Psalm 34 it's a convenient psalm for the 34th year of celebration of this church but it's also significant because when David wrote it it's important to know when he wrote it and why he wrote it the precursor says it is a psalm or song of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech who drove him away and he departed to give you some context Abimelech was the king of the Philistines or the Philistines and you know David and the Philistines had a little bit of history you know David the little boy that was a shepherd that his father overlooked and isn't it interesting that people even now overlook the anointing that's in this room overlooked the anointing of the man and woman of God how can you overlook something like this it's because you don't want to do what it takes to have it but you'll do anything to kill it but you can't kill it because you didn't burst it and that's the power of world-changers because the name is a prophetic declaration of the people who walk in the room you're not a region changer you're not a city change or you're a somebody give God a four and a half second praise four three two one the power of this room and the power of this ministry cannot be overstated that's why God keeps giving territory that's how you can be in College Park today but this time yesterday you were in Trinidad or somewhere I saw I'm like how do you do that and it's because God has to translate the oil that's on his life across the globe and everybody doesn't have a global platform just cuz you have a passport doesn't mean you have a platform and I feel the Holy Ghost the Bible says David pretended madness he acted like he was crazy because the only way he was going to escape from the death sentence that was on him because I need you to understand the Philistines did not like David because he killed Goliath he killed the Philistines he he every time David showed up the Philistines lost and the reason why people don't like you is because every time you show up the enemy has to leave and I don't know who this is for but I need you to keep walking keep taking territory keep showing up to the office keep going in I know that and some people don't like you and they haven't even had a conversation with you they don't even know why they don't like you but what it is is they can't control or manipulate or hold you hostage and so every time you walk in it symbolizes what they can't control and I need you to walk in with the biggest appraisal aw good morning you're doing well holla I wish I had some help in here the Jezebel spirit doesn't like anything it can't control keep taking territory world changes keep keep being a beacon of light and an example a quiet steady consistent example in a time of great shadow and lights and action keep being the smooth steady uncompromising voice to the kingdom of God and the people of God because times are going crazy the Bible says David pretended madness [Applause] ah I got a pimple with an eyeball on it [Applause] Psalm 34 was written as a thanks to God from David because David knew the only way I'm gonna get out of this situation is if I do something crazy now I know that this is one of the great beacons in the world this church you are dignified and elegant and I see you in your prom dress and I see you in your premium suit I saw a man of God walking towards the church pastor dollar had a 10-gallon cowboy hat on black man with a full cowboy hat he I know he was annoying head-on cowboy boots you got everything walking through this this unbelievable church you've got every generation a multi-generational multi-denominational expression of God in a time of division do you understand this is crazy y'all missed it because I just gave you out a title but I'm gonna keep going what you represent makes no sense in a time of hyper partisan politics in a time that we are more divided now than at any time since the 1960's you walk in here and you see multiple generations and races lifting up the name of Jesus breaking the division of racism and stereotypes the beauty and blessing of multi-generational ministry from you and your daughter to your wife and then the choir I haven't seen a choir in years because you know nowadays everybody's fancy they got six people up here with the tiny genes like come on guys gonna praise the Lord the Smarties gonna be so amazing come on guys just love you Lord and I'm like I didn't come here for an aerobics instruction sing the song and move I came here for the word this bliss flurries so amazing just want to thank you Lord three fast songs a slow song offering a fast song then comes the message and it's so predictable and it's nice but it doesn't change anything [Applause] because talent doesn't scare Devils the anointing puts the devil on the run and what you did today whether you knew it or not is you gave the devil a black eye because when you started singing songs from a generation ago you let the devil know that we were relevant then we're relevant now we're going to be relevant in the future the power of this room is ridiculous y'all don't even know what's in here y'all are crazy to be a part of what God is doing here means that you don't think like other folk I'm sure some of your family you still go over it out of that church what's going on over there I don't know what what is that what's going on called come and see Oh taste but if you don't I gotta get there because the word is changing me I'm a better husband I'm a better father because I'm here I'm a better wife and a better mother a better CEO because I'm here I'm a better physician a better lawyer because I'm here walking in here I feel smarter just walking in he is equal to MC squared I don't even play the piano but I can play it now even my hair is growing I feel the Holy Ghost [Applause] I look around and I'm blown away and I need to give you this title because I know y'all actually take notes in this church some of y'all got your flower print Journal it's your dream journal y'all be prophesied in the parking lot don't move the Lord spoke to me last night hold on let me open my journal I'm don't boast yet hey ma'am go to your car write this down this is the title of the message this is crazy [Applause] y'all missed it this is crazy that's gonna be a phrase you say over and over in 2020 because of what the Lord is about to release and unlock in this house it's gonna be so mind-blowing that it won't make sense to your natural mind which is what the teaching here does anyway it unlocks the understanding that what I see is not all there is that there is a supernatural reality beyond my current circumstance and when you see the manifestation of the things that you've been praying for the only thing you and I are going to be able to say is this is I need you to get that in your spirit because it's not a negative thing to say crazy because even David had to act crazy to get the miracle that he needed and some of us have been too buttoned up in the spirit too quiet in the spirit we want to be dignified but David said is a time for dignity but when it comes to what God is doing I'll be even more undignified than this there are some miracles some breakthrough some revelation that does not come in the quiet solitude of your kitchen look there are certain things that break through when you make a certain sound at a certain time and that sound lets God know that you don't care what people think about you I you didn't save me you didn't heal me you didn't deliver me you didn't set me free you didn't heal my mother you didn't save my marriage you didn't deliver my children so why do I care what you think about me I've got about 30 minutes before service is over so I might as well give him a raise and I don't want to give him a regular praise so I might as well give him a I'm gonna give you 10 seconds to give him a praise worthy of his name oh I feel the Spirit of God in here this is random but I'm gonna do this a few more times pastor Taffy pastor Creflo have to let you know what you mean to me the Lord doesn't allow me to receive from everything everyone I respect everyone but I don't receive from everyone because there's something that God wants to do in my life and it requires a certain level of word and I I won't say everyone that I listen to but there about four people and anytime you're on TV I listen because I know that it's going to be a word of God I've learned through your teaching that I'm the righteousness of God it's not by my works but it's because of the finished work of Jesus Christ and so I don't actually have to be ashamed of the places where I fail because his blood already covered it so as long as I'm covered in His righteousness I can walk in that authority not the authority of my humanity I learned that listening to you that I am the righteousness of God that I can declare what Jesus declared and I can have what he said I can have and that's not about prosperity that's about the word and and people try to minimize this aspect and try to localize who you are but they can't localize what you are because your global and when they try to minimize the anointing they miss the impact of what you do you're unlocking people you'll never meet and you're fathering people you'll never know and I was one of them and that's crazy cuz we don't even look alike except for the beer you got a six-pack I still got a 40-ounce we what I'm workin on it [Applause] tell somebody this is crazy look at this building this makes no sense this is crazy you can have a whole concert in here Frankie Beverly Mays before I let go don't act like you don't know what you ain't that safe don't fret I'll haven't listened to its gospel come praise Jesus whatever I wonder what it took for you to see this you know what's funny this land been here for hundreds of thousands of years it was trees and dirt and the whole time it was here God was waitin on you to talk to it I'm getting ready to say something a few of y'all might stand up but God is saying today if you have the guts to say it God has the authority to bring it to pass I need somebody to get in your spirit right I wish you heard what I said God says he's waiting on you to open your mouth because you are sitting in what he said if he didn't say it it would not have shown up and the reason why it showed up is because he said it in a region where God had given him authority tell somebody I have authority I need you to get this in your spirit where it real quick if you got the guts to say something crazy God has the power to bring it to pass 20 20 20 20 20 20 in the Hebrew calendar 20 20 actually translates to the year of the mouth it would have been great if it was a year to psyche because everybody with 20 20 to hear a perfect vision and that's fine too but once you see it you got to speak it God did not ponder in his mind when the Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens of the earth and earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters and God was like wow it's dark in here that's not what he said what did he say he said let there be here's what's powerful to me he said let there be light and there was light it didn't say there was a filament and blown glass with a conductor and an electrical cord plugged in and he hit a switch and light shone uh know everything that needed to make light showed up in that moment because when he spoke at everything that needed to make light came together he didn't put it together he spoke it and it showed up because your word is a magnet and if you got the guts to speak it everything that you speak will show up if you understand your authority God didn't make light he spoke light and light showed up and what's crazy is the Sun and the moon and the stars didn't show up to the fourth day so what light was he talking about you're getting ready to step in the supernatural illumination the moment you speaking is going to show up and then the stuff stole the natural show of later but the spirits gonna show up first it won't make sense because it'll be tell somebody this is crazy the Bible says David was surrounded by his enemies the Philistines were all around and he was like they bout to kill me I wonder if you've ever been surrounded by people who don't understand you can't see you couldn't discern the anointing on your life if you told it to him an element to reform and I'm not even talking about co-workers and and distant acquaintances I'm talking about your own family there are some people here and listening and who will listen to this later that your own family doesn't understand who you are and what great pain for the people that say they know you the most who have the least amount of vision for who you are if you've ever felt that way then you're in good company with David because David was the eighth son of Jesse eight sons eight the number of new beginnings but he was relegated to the fields it was the lowest job in the family go covered him little sheep outside don't don't be in here with the big boys not realizing that as David was in the field he was writing songs that we would still recite today help me Holy Ghost they they they forgot about him but God had and God was watching him watching his character developed watching as David literally laid his life down for sheep that didn't belong to him he fought off a lion and a bear took it out of its mouth why would you do that these sheep aren't yours but that's who he was God is getting ready to elevate hearts in this season not talent no let me rewind you it this is not the season for talented people to get microphones in positions this is the season where God is going to establish the faithful those who have been serving those who don't need a microphone and don't need a nametag and don't need a medal from the volunteer committee people who serve and nobody sees it people who pray and no one sees it people who serve and no one sees it God is getting ready to elevate those people the people with the right heart because heart Trump's gifts every time it's a lot of gifted singers but they couldn't they couldn't move a devil if they tried give me a church mother who's 78 years old who sings a hymn who's been walking with him for a long time give me somebody that's walk with him for a while I don't need talent in this season I need the anointing in this season David was overlooked so much so that when the prophets showed up to anoint the next king he wasn't even invited in the house and even Samuel had the nerve to look at the first son and said to himself that's him cuz he's tall he's handsome he's the firstborn God said no Samuel don't you put that oil on him I've refused him man looks at the outside God looks at the heart what that showed me is that even prophets can be fooled by the external and then the oil was in the bottle we ain't going nowhere everybody stay in the bottle not not one of these seven knows a complete no Samuel Samuel said are all the young men here Jesse said well yeah I mean at least the ones I'm proud of he said what that remains outside the youngest but he's out tending the Sheep you know Sammy said go get him we will not sit down until he comes Jesse leans out the door David it's a man in here come on in the house yes that day I'll cover y'all be good little did he know that as he was walking angels were watching little did he know as he was walking it was the last time he wouldn't be anointed king of a nation he had no clue because he was in the middle of doing what he was supposed to do he wasn't looking for elevation he was looking to stay faithful I'm trying to say something to a crazy church at a crazy time that God says because you've been faithful over thirty four years I'm getting ready to elevate you to places of prominence and power and position that you have no clue of and it's not just for the pastor's it's for the people that are connected to this ministry the people that have been sewing faithfully and making sure that the kingdom goes forward do you know that angels were watching you while you walked in today do you think you got here by yourself the enemy was fighting you like the dickens to keep you in that warm bed do you understand there were angels stopping car accidents to get you here because today God wanted to unlock something in your life as we celebrate 34 years did you understand the power of God he's about to do something crazy in your life and you're less than ten minutes away from David walks in yes daddy as soon as he walks in the door Spirit of God speaks to Samuel anoint him he's the one and in front of his brothers who didn't like him and his father who couldn't see him the oil begins to flow on a dusty little teenager Pastor John how does this correlate to how we celebrated this man and woman of God have consistently served the people of God and I personally don't believe they have gotten the honor and the reverence that they deserve across the globe and particularly in the body of Christ and I can say it as a son of the other as a son I can say it don't nobody else said I'm saying it there's too much insecurity and jealousy and when you win so much people get tired they don't know that all that they bless the game praise the Lord oh he's still annoying enough hallelujah that's nice he's still married okay hmm that's nice Oh his daughter saying she anointed two always so oh it's a legacy then okay that's a legacy there okay [Applause] it makes them mad to see ya'll winning but they don't know the tears that you said they don't know how many times you prayed they don't know the stars because you don't lead for all help me Holy Ghost you're so committed to the things of God that you don't even talk about half the things you walk through to maintain this level of anointing but Oh God would you bless them with long life and health and prosperity and favor and God for every whispering backbiting insecure preacher pastor teacher and so-called believer that wants to see the demise of this house and this oil in this ministry let them live long enough to see it double I wish I had some help in here I said I wish I had some help in here I speak double returned to the stronghold eight prisoners of hope and I will restore double to you declares the Lord I speak double over world changes I speak double in attendance to double the in revenue double in miracles double in favor double in healing double in authority double in power I want God to do in the next six months what it took ten years to do I pray that God unlocks billionaires and hundred billionaire's to warm into this vision so that more souls are safe God open up every new country in Africa God he's not a regional voice he's a global voice do what we have never seen go crazy God somebody give God a praise if you believe that selling something tell somebody this is crazy God's about to do crazy things help me Jesus in your life crazy I came here to encourage I came here to ignite I came here to kick some doors in and I came here to let world changers know that your authority and your influence is more broad than you know the power of this ministry is the power of relevance and balance to be able to give us practical application of the word while not minimizing the supernatural authority of who God is and it's very rare because sometimes you're super emotional or then you're super cerebral and the cerebral crowd looks at the emotional crowd that that's doing too much I don't really understand that and then the super emotional people like well you must not be saved because you don't shout it doesn't mean that I'm not saying because I shout it just means I process differently but every now and then even the phd's get a power quickening and a spirit every now and then my md's think of the goodness of God every now and then the people who are the lawyers and Esquires and make Presidents and vice presidents of IT get a revelation I did not get here by myself and I need to thank God because it was God that saved me and God that kept me and God that helped me pay my student loans and by the way I feel a debt cancelling anointing in this church right now and I know I heard God say it right now I know I heard God say that I'm giving you the freedom to walk in authority and some of y'all need breathing room that's about to give you breathing room in this season and the way he does it is gonna be crazy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] David was annoying it cousin he was anointed but he was anointed and he was still dirty cuz he had been out in the field doing his job what I love is your calling in people who other churches don't want to fool with because they see the dirt but haven't discerned the anointing when the oil flowed it cut through the dirt that was on David so he smelled like dirt and anointing because if you're really gonna be relevant in this season the last thing I need is for you to come up and tell me what you haven't done and how good you've been your whole life I need somebody that's got a little dirt with their anointing tell me where you failed tell me where you missed it so I can have some strength to notice that if God can change your life he can change mine too is there anybody that hears what I'm saying don't walk up on me and look down on me because you haven't walked my path I'm looking for the people that God delivered from something I used to drink myself to sleep but then the Holy Ghost got hold to me and now he fills me I used to put needles in my arm I used to sleep with everything moving but God changed my character and now my heart matches my flesh is there anybody in here that's been changed by the blood of Jesus give him a praise if you've been changed this is crazy this is crazy God sends a prophet with the last name dollar to tell us we can be more than conquerors and that we can be debt-free and walking Authority and live not only a blessed life here but be generous gave him the sweetest wife in the world whose name is taffy sweet like candy help me Jesus God has a sense of humor because he knew that we needed balance I don't want to be so deep that I don't have my joy you telling me God saves you but you can't smile you telling me you feel with the Holy Ghost but you can't speak to somebody on the other side of the church but you want to throw your hands in worship no no I need the joy of the Lord that's my strength and here's what confuses the enemy you still have your hands up and all your prayers have yet to be answered I'm looking for some people that worship in spite of not the ones that worship because of is there a church in here that can worship in spite of you think all 34 years has been peaches and cream now there was some times he walked up in this pulpit and said I don't know what I'm gonna say or how I'm gonna say it but God I trust you he had to get up in his brain she had to get up in her pain if she still delivered do you know how hard it is to smile in the face of devils that want to kill you look at somebody put a big smile on your face nothing confuses the enemy more then after he's hit you with everything he has you still got the nerve I will bless the Lord at all times and it's brain shall continually be enough [Applause] my soul shall pose to the Lord the humble shall be glad all gay now my bills are not paid my marriage is in shambles and my kids smoke crack but I'm gonna bless the Lord because I know that his character is greater than my circumstance now I don't know how he's gonna do it but I trust him and even though I want to cry right now I'm not gonna give the devil these tears I will give God my smile [Applause] [Music] yeah sad right [Music] [Applause] [Music] I need somebody to praise God with me because outside of my wife only your pastor knows what it took for me to be here and say this right now cuz we've been getting hit from every angle but I'm gonna keep smiling because somehow I know that whatever's happening it's making me who God wants me to be you know that scripture says count it all joy when various trials come your way Oh help me Holy Ghost tell somebody count it any basketball players in here well if you ever play basketball there's this thing called n1 when you dribble you going for your shot and you get fouled by your opponent but the basket goes in they say n1 not only do you get credited with the basket you get a foul shot called a free-throw oh I wish you just shoot your shot I wish you'd open your mouth I know the enemy's been coming after you but I need you to shoot your praise and even if he the brains is getting up to God so County they're coming [Applause] [Music] [Music] it's time for a road cat look around tell them what you praise him with me ask somebody else where you praise him with me there is a praise that unlocks your section cuz some people are wounded today and they need to be ignited by your faith I need you to dribble your praise through the leg but go for shoot the three-pointer I mean you to open your mouth because there is a sound that lets God knows that he's welcomed in your life in this church in 34 years desserts the plays the head towards 35 praise him for what he's done before we go another further I'm gonna bless him right here so I'm gonna give you 30 seconds imma drink some water but you're gonna think about the goodness of Jesus and all he's done for you and you might want to take off your shoes you know you a size nine but you put on the size seven and your pinky toe is in there turn about let me out of here so take your size 7 shoe off and I will give you a hot 30 seconds to ignite your road with a praise that's ridiculous for a god that is worthy three [Applause] you got 15 second [Music] heaven sent me three [Music] three actions [Music] [Music] [Music] now you don't have to keep raising I want the drums if you feel like God doesn't deserve this and take your seat if you feel like this is too much take your seat if this type of expression causes you discomfort but if God has done miracles in your life and you know that you are stronger wiser better much better because he planted you in a house where you've been fed and watered then can we thank God for what he what he did what is doing what is gonna do what he brought you through clap your hands in the praise open your mouth a resident a [Music] [Music] [Music] bring it down let me ask y'all a question I just put my own I just need to know you know what's what's crazy about worship is that it's great that I have a band but if I think about God in my car I'll be at the light they're like it must be a flying there no no no I'm thinking about how good god has been if you had no band would you still praise Him so I'm gonna give you 15 seconds of no music praise if you don't need music and you can still bless him then go ahead and do it I dare you [Applause] this is crazy there are many pieces to this puzzle but there are three that I have distilled from my observation from a distance of what God has done in this remarkable ministry there are three things that stick out it required crazy vision crazy faith and a crazy praise crazy vision crazy faith and crazy praise it takes crazy vision to see dirt and trees and see a 10,000 seat edifice what a big fat gold dome that you can see flying into the city as a beacon that the city belongs to God not to the enemy you have to have a different spirit to establish something like this a Caleb and Joshua spirit I love God he said I like Caleb and Joshua they have a different spirit on them isn't it strange that all 12 of the spies saw the same thing but only two had the ability to say yeah there's some Giants but we would kill them cuz God is with us now we talk about Caleb and Joshua what's the names of the other 10 I prophesied that the ones who doubted their names won't even be remembered the pastor's creflo and taffy shall we will be hearing that name until the Lord Jesus comes back because they have a different spirit and crazy vision we're standing in what you saw and then you had the guts to say what you saw but you had to see it first so it required vision but then you had to have the faith to believe God could do it and that's what you have taught us over these 34 years of ministry is that if we can see it and then declare it then because of the authority and who I am to my father through our high priest and elder and mediator Jesus Christ there's only one mediator between God and man and it's demand Jesus Christ and he's a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek but I get to be an heir in a co heir with Jesus if I suffer with him I've learned through the ministry if I can see it and speak it then God has to bring it if it's in the alignment with his word and this is a small thing crazy vision crazy faith and then it's gonna also require a crazy praise not no regular praise Kate you can't build this with regular price all things come up and doves I don't have but ain't no Cowardly Lion praise gonna establish a ministry where the devil literally tells all the demons y'all can take sunday off cuz you ain't gonna have no hope over in here y'all miss that this region has been changed because this church is here this city this nation help me Holy Ghost and even the local church has been changed and as just standing my clock still says I got a couple minutes but less is more if I if I do this right maybe pastor mom daddy let me come back another time so I'm gonna leave some time on the clock plus y'all need to go get y'all wings cuz I know that y'all y'all ain't that save you like you be a wing stop let me get some garlic palm and so I want some limit bit some lemon pepper and some extra ranch ranch put some of them rolls and I don't want no carrots don't nobody eat no carrots in my house something oh lord help me everybody say 20 20 this is the year of crazy David had to act crazy in order to get delivered from his enemy he was at the gate the Bible says he started scratching at the gate and he allows saliva to go down into his beard and the enemy that was going to kill him said it's no use he's crazy here you know I mean don't kill him because he's crazy I want you to know in this season the enemy was gonna try to take you out but your praise was so crazy he realized he couldn't put his hands on that's why I said I need somebody to give him a crazy praise your crazy vision and your crazy faith mixed with a crazy praise gets crazy results I dare you to just give God just a crazy we'll just you know [Applause] my nephew was here he he he's how many years has it been since since your surgery croix three years how long were you in the hospital six months in the hospital it started as a small thing and all of a sudden his organs shut down heart all of that shut down they said he wasn't gonna make it he said he wasn't going to live he was in the hospital in cardiac intensive care six months can you just walk down here real quick turn around crow out I want people to see why I shout like I shout because he's supposed to be dead but he's at world-changers alive six months in the hospital as good as dead and he in here and he said Uncle John I want to come to church he was going to come to Greenville South Carolina for church I said well guess what Kroy I'm gonna be at world changes in Atlanta so you don't even have to drive two hours you can come right on down and he said that's what I want I want to go to church to celebrate the anniversary of God healing me that's crazy for a teenager to want to bless God now he can't shout like you because he's still being restored but he's alive but I wish somebody would praise on his behalf [Applause] because one day it might be here to let you know that if he can do it for him he can do it for you thank you growing and I close with this here some of y'all about to step out into the aisle on this 2020 is the year of crazy I just need you to know that first Kings 18 he like I said they have you need to get in your chariot because there is the sound of abundance of rain and he tells a hab getting your chariot before the rain stops you the rain was symbolic of the blessing of God the end of a drought now a hab was not a good man he was not a good king but he was over God's people and God says I'll get blessings to the people in spite of the folk that are trying to stop it from happening that's number one that's what's getting ready to happen there some supervisors that don't like you they can't stop what God's about to do there's some people that don't want you to get the promotion not only are you gonna get that promotion you gonna skip that and go higher I need you to know the Lord breathing on your resume and putting it at the top of the pile something I need to go drive by that house this week and don't just pray get out the car and walk on it just walk on it this is the year of crazy I'm trying to help somebody in here and you better go before the brain where the rain stops you the rain is symbolic of the favor of God watch this the Bible says that when he gave the word to Ahab he ran up to the mountain to pray how many times did he pray seven times he asked his assistant he said do you see anything yet he was like nah now I don't see nothing he said go again tell somebody go again this is not the season for you to pray once this is the season for you to pray till you see it and he said on the seventh time wait a minute you'll know that man with the lady with the glass Elena I see a cloud the size of a man's hand I use my hands to to praise do you know you're one hand wave away from your miracle show I see a cloud the size of a praise rising out of the sea the Bible says you better go before the rain stops you the next thing is the Bible says Elisha girded his loins and took off running and he ended up getting to Jezreel before a hat now I need you to catch this a hat was the enemy he had a chariot and four horses Elisha had two legs and a word and he got to the destination before the enemy did with more resources more protection and more guards I need you to know that God's about to skip the line for you and he's about to put you at your destination before your enemy gets there and your enemy had more stuff but it didn't have God 2020 is the year of acceleration 2020 is the year of manifested prayers and 2020 is the year of legacy establishment world changers Church has already been established and now God is adding to that legacy and I'm honored to be a part of that legacy from a distance and I came here to give honor and to let you all know that this church and this ministry and your leaders your pastors have changed the world truly they have manifested the name of this ministry across the globe and on today I celebrate that their crazy vision crazy faith and crazy praise has literally allowed us to walk into a supernatural year of acceleration that if we have the ability to bless God in front of our enemies not only will he deliver us from our enemies he will accelerate us to our destination point and so I close with this I know tonight everybody's gonna be watching the game and people are gonna be shouting at a stadium for teams that don't even know who they are but I will never shout louder for a team that doesn't know me than the God who saved me somebody in here give God the praise [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
