Why It Costs To Manifest Your Purpose

eve falls into this trap and when she falls into this trap she realizes that she is messed up not just for herself but for all of humanity and what i love about this is when god discovers that they are no longer where they are supposed to be the scripture tells us that he is walking in the cool of the day in the garden eve and adam have fallen into a trap and god comes walking in the cool of the day i love this when i read it because as i was studying it for this message i realized that god walked into the trap that eve fell in yeah eve fell in it but god walked in it eve stumbled into that situation but god doesn't sleep nor does he slumber nor does he stumble into anything god says if eve has fallen into a trap then she needs something powerful enough to walk into that thing that she fell and i wish i could say that the way that i studied it because there's somebody who's fallen into a trap who thinks that they're in that trap by themselves but the moment that god knew that they were in a trap he came walking in the garden let me get down in this trap with you let me get down in this situation with you what i love about god is he doesn't just leave you where you fell he gets down in that mess with you i know you didn't think he was in there because you called it a praying grandmother but when you look back over your life you'll see that god got down in that trap with you you called it a teacher who just knew you were special i call it god getting down in that trap with me you call it a husband you call it a friend i call it god getting down in the trap with me i fell in the trap but god walked in this thing with me because there are some traps that you fall in that the only way you can get out is if god gets down in that trap with you god i can't get out of this unless you get down in here with me god i am incapable of getting out of it by myself so i'm gonna need you to get down in this trap with me and he does that he does that for eve he gets down in the track with her and when he's down in the trap with eve he assesses the situation because down in the trap he's got adam and the serpent and eve in the trap and while they're in the trap god assesses the situation and that's where that genesis 3 15 comes in that i love so much when he assesses the situation he says the only way i can fix this is if i get eve to produce seed and her seed has to crush the head of the serpent but but the thing is that eve doesn't have seed in this moment eve is not pregnant so it's not like god is declaring a promise that she actually has in her possession [Applause] because sometimes god gives you a promise that doesn't look like anything you have in your possession god god tells eve your seed is going to bruise his head your seed is going to crush this but god i don't have any seed this promise feels like a fantasy that i would be the one to start the business that i would be the one who would be able to break a generational curse god you gave me a promise but that promise feels like a fantasy god that i would finally have my mind together god that i would finally be the one who was able to go to school now i can't even get accepted i can't even get alone into school god this promise feels like a fantasy god gives her this promise but i realized that part of the reason why he could give the promise is because he was going to make eve work with him to manifest it and all eve would have to do is put some skin in the game god would give her seed but he needed her to put skin in the game i love that term skin in the game it's actually an investment term when a ceo invests in his own company when he buys stock in his own company it's a sign of good faith for the company because he says if the ceo is willing to risk his own finances to be in the company then i can support what the ceo was doing that's why jesus is the way for me because he messed around and wrapped himself in flesh the chief ceo i don't know if it's anybody in here who needs to follow somebody who has some skin in the game but he wrapped himself in flesh and said i can fix this imma put some skin in the game i'm not going to make eve go up against this thing by herself i'm not going to make tanya go up against this thing by herself jessica's not going to have to face it by herself i'm gonna give her seed but she's gonna have to put some skin in the game too this time i'm not gonna do it the way that i did it before i'm gonna need some women who don't mind putting some skin in the game who don't mind saving up to come to denver colorado to come and receive somebody told me last week i could have gone to essence or i could have came here but i needed to have some skin in the game i needed god to know that i'm taking this thing seriously i needed god to know that i'm willing to put my money where my mouth is that i'm willing to grow into the woman that he's called me to be somebody's in this room cause they got skin in the game i can't afford to lose my child i can't afford to lose my marriage i got too much skin in the game i've invested too much in this business i've invested too much in my healing i can't afford [Music] [Applause] i refused to lose i refused to lose i went through too much hell i went through too much struggle i'm not just gonna sit back and watch my life fall apart any longer i put some skin in the game for this thing so eve put some skin in the game that's what i feel like god was calling me to do all while we were preparing for conference i kept thinking to myself god last year this just came together and this year i'm having to fight to do it but god says this year you need to put some skin in the game i know this isn't the sexy god that we like to talk about that will just bless you with anything that you ask for but there's a level of glory that you can only access when you put some skin in the game jesus was doing good when he was walking around healing and prophesying but for him to reach his ultimate glory he had to get on the cross he had to crucify his flesh he had to put some skin in the game he had to say i'm so serious about this that i'm willing to invest on it i'm willing to put my life in it god said will you do it if it cost you will you do it if it hurts you will you do it if it stresses you out will you do it if the team falls apart and i said god i can't go back to who i used to be so i'm gonna have to annie up and put some skin in the game god i can't go back to what i was i can't just stay here where i am i gotta put some skin in the game turn to your neighbor say it's time to put some skin in the game it's time to put some skin in the game it's time for you to actually invest in yourself it's time for you to actually take this thing seriously i know you wanted it to come to you easy but it can't come to you easy and it still be glorious and i don't know about you but i'm trying to produce something that has glory connected to it i need people to see me and say it ain't no way that could have happened unless god got down in the mix i had to put some skin in the game but he gave me some seeds to work with i'm trying to take that seed and bring it to fruition i'm trying to take that seed and make it everything it's supposed to be [Applause] and that's why i refuse to lose because i got too much skin in the game i got too many women riding on me i got too many family members who need to see somebody finally get their life together i got too much skin in the game everyone else can quit and pack up their toys and go home good for them but as for me and my house we gonna serve what god is doing around here cause i gotta put some skin in the game it ain't a hot girl summer it ain't a city girl summer it's a skin in the game summer skin in the game summer makes some noise in this place everything else is trendy but only what i do with god will last i'm trying to do something that makes the earth shake i'm trying to do something to make hell nervous i came to put some skin in the game my mother couldn't do it my anu couldn't figure it out but god brought me on the scene right when i can break that curse [Applause] my daughters need me to put some skin in the game my neighbor needs me to put some skin in the game i'm going back to school i'm gonna write the book anyway i'ma start saving like the business is already a fortune 500 company get my body right i'm getting my mind right i'm getting my heart right cause i got skin in the game depression let me go suicide you can't have me i gotta put some skin in the game
