Your Next Will Be Greater Than Your Now

hey man so good to see out this last Sunday of 2017 we bring you greetings and greetings to our Orlando campus come on put your hands together for Orlando campus is locked in with us this morning and all those that are watching online and would you just open up your Bibles to Exodus chapter 34 before before I even get into the message today I want to make mention of a couple things we have coming up this week and many of you know we mentioned it in the video announcements about this Tuesday night is our gathering of the priests something we do at the top of every year to bring all the men together before we whenever we came before we have any other church services just to bring the men out to take some time to really impart to our men to pray over our families and want you to have some context for why we do this so here in Exodus 34 beginning at verse 23 it says three times in the year all your mints I might shut all your men now somebody shout all your men God said three times in the year excuse me all your men shall appear before the Lord the Lord God of Israel and this is what God says he'll do he says I will cast out the nations before you in other words every enemy has tried to stand up in front of you guy says I'm gonna deal with him then he says I like this and I'm gonna enlarge your borders who says I'm gonna give you some more territory neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in a year now if you understand the context these men were called out by God God says three times every year I want all the men and young men to come away with me he says and while you're away with me I'll make sure that nobody's gonna covet your land I'll make sure I'm in large in your borders in other words why you're away with me that means all the soldiers were away all the mighty warriors were away which means there was nobody left at the camp but the women and the kids and what God was saying is why you are away with me I'll take care of business back at home for you and so we're challenging all the men and young men to come out and be with us this Tuesday night 7 o'clock p.m. for the gathering of the priests we got a group of men coming up from Orlando to be with us we have about four or five other churches in the city that are all coming together got a church coming up from Daytona area that's coming up to be a part of this I don't encourage all the men and young man to come out be with us as to tonight I got a good friend come in from the Baltimore Maryland area Jimmy Rollins a preacher of preachers he's gonna be with us Tuesday night as well as Wednesday night for our first winsy so come on out men Tuesday night and then everybody come back on Wednesday night be our first Wednesday for 2018 and our opportunity to receive communion together as we take time to honor the Lord and sanctify our 2018 as we trust that God has great things in store for us next year anybody believe that I can't hear anybody really believe that amen and then we're starting off next Sunday two times a year we take time to have seasons of 21 days of Prayer we do it in August right after we all come back from the summer breaks and everything and then again in January and in August we don't do any fasting but in January we add some fasting to it and so we like to give you some warning so you can get all your fried chicken out of the way and get all of the desserts out of the way starting next Sunday we're going for 21 days with 21 days of prayer and fasting now this year we're not giving you a sheet to tell you what too fast and not too fast well we want you to do is take time and you and God talk about a man so our website you'll see a little link there you can go there and give you some details about the different types of fast but we don't want you to feel bound by any certain things as you can and cannot do whatever you and God agree on that's we wants you to do we want you to lock in with us for these 21 days and I am convinced God's got some great things he's going to say to us come on say man somebody God's got some great things he's on a jump start in our lives I don't believe there's any better way to start your new year off than to spending some time in prayer with God extra time in prayer and then adding that other component of fasting at the beginning of the year so you can shut down all these other noises on the outside and get locked in to hear what God has to say amen because I can tell you that God's plans for your life is that your than your necks is gonna be so much better than your now can I get anybody to get an agreement with you on that let me sit again you're next is gonna be so much better than your now and so whether your now has been good your now has been okay your now has been horrible I can promise you that the word of the Lord to use that you're next will be greater than your now turn over in your Bibles to the book of Romans chapter 8 today thank you all for praying for us while we were away we spent some time in Hawaii as a family and enjoyed a Hawaiian cruise after hit all the islands out there and did some treetops ziplining your first lady was swinging from one tree to the next sibling and her eyes was closed she was praying in tongues which he was swinging from one tree to the next a man we had a great time and thank you all so much for praying for us and for allowing us the opportunity to get away Romans chapter eight let's pick up at verse number fourteen Romans 8:14 says for as many as are led by the Spirit of God these are the sons of God for you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out Abba Father the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and if we're children of God then we're what come on we're what heirs that means we inherit that the blessing she wears heirs of God and we are joint heirs or co-heirs with Christ if indeed we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together verse number 18 for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared watch this with the glory which is good Rita hid your house and somebody shot a man at that he said I just see this what Paul said I consider that the sovereign other words whatever I'm going through right now whatever I got to deal with right now whatever's coming against me right now whatever lies enemies trying to tell me right now I consider that they are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us in other words you're next gonna be so much better than you now now if you read that same verse they're from the good news translation Paul said it this way he said I consider that what we suffer at this present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us and I like what the message Bible says here in verse number 18 it just breaks it down he says that's why I don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times come on somebody shout the good times are coming I didn't hear somebody shot the good times are coming Paul said that the hard times the challenging times you're dealing with right now are nothing in comparison to the good times that are coming ahead God's words to you is that there is no comparison between your present circumstances and the glory that is about to hit your life I'm prophesying over your 2018 of there's a glory getting ready to hit your life I'm prophesy that there's a glory that is getting ready to hit your life and there is no comparison between what your deal were right now and what is getting ready to come your way so if I was you I'd start shouting and praising God in advance come on if I was you I'd start praising God in advance for let's get ready to come my way Amen why because you're next we'll be greater than you're now what God has waiting for you in 2018 we'll make you forget all about 2017 what God has waiting for you in 2018 we'll make you forget all about 2017 whether 2017 was amazing or whether 2017 was troubling your necks will be greater than your now and there's some things that you got to grab hold of it some things are gonna take in order for you to experience it cuz there's one thing for God to give you a prophetic word a prophetic word comes out all the time but everybody doesn't take advantage of it and when a prophetic word comes out there's some folks that sit there to say oh that sounds great all says okay okay they clap a little bit they waved ahead a little bit then there's some other folks that lean in and sit on the edge of their seat that have that mindset that I'm getting ready to grab hold of everything you've just said so there's some things you're gonna have to grab hold of if you're gonna experience your next being greater than your now and there's four things you need you need eyes you need courage you need willingness and you need heart I'll explain it in a minute you need eyes courage willingness and heart first thing you got to have if you if you're next is going to be greater than your now you've got to have eyes to see God's next instead of your now you got to have eyes to see God's next instead of your now turn over to Isaiah chapter 43 I am so excited about what your 2018 looks like there's a prophetic anointing on my life that I can tell it's starting to increase the older I get and more experience I am in walking to ministry in it and God starts to show me stuff before we even get to it and if I could give you a glimpse of what God is getting ready to do in your life I mean it is so grand it is so glorious and so I need you to grab hold of this this first one right here because God can't do it if you can't see elbow Nate time to wake up today I said elbow him and tell him wake up today come on elbow time on the other side say wake up before you miss this come on in God can't do it if you can't see it so he says here in Isaiah chapter 43 verse number 18 he says do not remember the former things in other words forget all that stuff that happened last year come on forget all the stuff that went Brown forget all the things that didn't go your way do not remember the former things don't even consider the old stuff why God because I'm getting ready to do a new thing now come on somebody he said I'm getting ready to do a new thing now it shall spring forth shall you not know it I will even make a road in the wilderness and I will make watch this rivers rivers right in the middle of a desert in other words what God is saying when God makes a road in the wilden's he says where there was no way I'm getting ready to make away they don't believe it over there so I got a preacher these these excited folks over here come on where there was no way God's of them getting ready to make away.what where they said no God's getting ready to turn into a yes well they said it can't be done God's grace a step back and watch me do it I'm gonna make a roll right in the middle of your woman I'm not even wait for you to get out and show you Road I'm gonna step in and make a road right in the middle of your wilderness washes and he says I'm gonna make River in the middle of a desert now if you're walking through the desert oh you're hoping for it's a cup of water God said I'm not gonna give you a cup of water in your desert I'm gonna step in and I'm gonna give you reverse plural in the middle of your desert cannot explain what that means that means things are getting ready to go from as bad as it can get kicking B to as good as it can get suddenly when you go from being in the middle of a desert and all of a sudden you got rivers that's when God takes you from as bad as it can be to as good as it can get and he does it suddenly which means they're getting ready to be some suddenly Caesars that hits your life in 2018 and I need you to see this because if you don't see it if you don't recognize if your heart's not open to receive it it'll go right by you listen to those same two verses from the New Living Translation the New Living Translation says but forget all that all of what all the 2017 stuff well all of what they did you still forget all that it is nothing compared to what I am going to do for I'm about to do something new see I have already begun do you not see it ask a neighbor do you see that come on ask me again do you see that do you not see it I will make a pathway through the wilderness and I will create rivers right there in the dry wasteland if we are not careful we can become so blinded by the now that we end up missing the next in motion already he got it away to the new year to begin doing what he's going to do God has already put in motion you're next and some of you haven't even been able to see because you've been so blinded by the now you've been stuck in you've been so blinded by the yesterday and what happened and what they did and how it happened and God is saying I need you to lift up your eyes and see they may have done something but I've done something far greater than what they did and I've already put your next in motion but I need you to see it the Bible is consistently warning us about not being afraid but then he also says this and do not be dismayed none of you ever study that word dismayed out but if you study that word out it literally in this you don't have this in your notes it literally means shattered or to be spiritless or to be blinded by disappointment when God says do not be dismayed he's saying don't be spiritless don't be shattered literally this word means to have the breath or breathe out of you in other words don't be so exhausted by what you went through in 2017 that you can't lift up your eyes and see God's getting ready do amazing things in 2018 see some of you can barely even open up your mouth to praise God for that right now why because you've been fighting you've been fighting demons in 2017 you've been fighting family members you've been fighting coworkers you've been if the enemy's been coming at you with everything including the kitchen sink but guess what it's the last day of the year you still standing somebody ought to just shout because you're still standing come on the devil thought he was going to take you out this year he threw everything he could almost praise God by myself he threw everything at you that he could but you're still standing on the last day of this year somebody ought to just praise God and let the devil know you are big enough for bad enough to take me out devil yeah amen you can't afford to be dismayed the events of 2017 even those difficult spaces you may have been in have been a setup for God to take you into a glorious future many times we won't let go of the security blanket on our own so God's got to remove some security blankets from us sometimes it's like it was with with a lot when lott was in Sodom and Gomorrah God's getting ready to rain down fire brimstone on the city he sends these two angels to get a lot of his family out but there the Bible says while they lingered the Lord had to have these two angels to literally put them out sometimes God's got to step in and mess up what you thought was your comfort zone so we can get you to a place where you can finally open up your eyes and see I've got something different and I've got something so much better than what you were getting ready to settle for can I just say this to this people in year 2017 who didn't get their permission slip signed to be a part of your 2018 remember back in the day in elementary school you had to take your little field trip permission slip home you don't get that thing signed you can go on that field trip there's some folks that were part of your 2017 that hevanddan signed their permission slip to be a part of your 2018 and why says you gonna have to be okay with that in fact if I was you I'd lift up my hands and thank God he loves you enough and he's protecting you from some folks that didn't have your best interests at heart shout a man somebody somebody they'd they quit you you ought to be glad they quit you come on suck I mean some of us marry folks look back I'm so glad you didn't marry the one you thoughts come on you thought was the love of your life you're so glad today why could use getting ready to have a mess on your hands but God loves you so much he's got something better waiting on you and you're 2018 but you got to be willing to open up your eyes watch this and be able to see you're next instead of you're now second thing you're gonna have to have is courage and that is courage to trust God in the silent places and after that some courage it takes courage to trust God we like busyness we like noise we like excitement we like to know something's going on I can see what God is doing it's gonna take some courage to trust God in those silent places in order to walk in this glorious next to God has for you you're gonna have to fuse your ear to God's mouth you know sometimes if somebody's got a back problem or neck problem they have to go in and and have their vertebrae fuse together and when they fuse them together they take two vertebrae and make them come together like they're one you're gonna have to have your ear listen to me fuse to God's mouth which means your ear and God's mouth like gonna become like one unit one piece because in order for you to walk in the next that God has for you you're gonna have to bear to hear what God is saying and I'm gonna tell you right now I mean the closer we get to the end there are more and more voices that are speaking and I'm amazed by how many Christians that have that you think have been walking with God for a while you they're solid but get tripped up by hearing wrong voices get caught up in some new doctrine there's nothing new Under the Sun there's nothing new but folks here caught up in the like the latest read over around us something that that somebody's thrown out there now all of a sudden you chasing your Hebrew roots of your ancestral roots and now all of a sudden you assalamualaikum praise the Lord Jesus Christ you just mixed up why because you allowed yourself to start listening to too many different voices in order to walk in the glorious next that God has for you come on say man somebody you're gonna have to have your ear fuse to God's mouth there will be lots of voices in 2018 but you've got to become a master of his voice that's why starting next Sunday I'm starting a brand new series next week do not miss next Sunday starting a new teaching series called dialed in just died and you know just like an old radio trying to figure out that station we got to get dialed in so we become masters of hearing God's voice cuz it's gonna be on one side or the other for those that are listening to God and hearing God it's gonna be a glorious next year for you but for those that won't hear God are not listening to God it's gonna be a difficult year because if we're listening to our co-workers and if we're listening to talk radio and if we're listening all the TV stations and we're listening to all the popular theories out in society today it's gonna lead us down a road that is not where we want to go the Bible says wide is the road that leads to death and destruction but narrow is that pathway that leads to life and peace we don't have to be on that narrow pathway ladies and gentlemen and that includes listen to me that includes living right before God a boy your neighbor said that was a good place for you to say Amen right there thank God for the grace of God but grace doesn't release us to live a raggedy life grace frees us up to be able to walk in holiness before God come on without all the guilt and condemnation that comes along with it can I get an amen from somebody that's what it's going to take proverbs 20 tells us this the spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord searching all the inner depths of his heart the spirit of man is the lamp or the candle of the Lord many of you know a few months ago we had hurricane Irma come through and and then lots of folks end up without power and we went bought a bunch of flashlights like many of you did and we're prepared that if the power went out we better turn those flashlights on and still be able to shower and brush our teeth and go about the house I'm you know because when it gets dark you got to have light and if if you don't have light coming from JEA or the nor the other power company then you got to have a candle or a flashlight or something that illuminates the way the Bible says the spirit of man watch this is the lamp or the candle of the Lord which means when God is trying to illuminate your pathway when God is trying to get you out of darkness and show you which way to go he does it by speaking to your spirit and I need you to grab hold us because I'm realizing that some folks that I've been ministering to for years and years have gotten away from listening to their spirit and it start to listen to all types of other sounds and the Bible says that the way with God leads us that he illuminates our spirit another way of saying it is simply this God illuminates us via our spirit not our mind not our will not our emotion and not your cousin you still with me today which means what God wants to tell you something he's gonna tell you not through your mind he gonna get your intellect involved don't get me wrong guy didn't want us to be ignorant either shout a man's a mine he wants us to educate ourselves and learn as much as we can but don't ever let your intellect get you to the place where you can't trust God because it doesn't make sense to you it's a whole lot of things about God that don't make sense to us and there's no way if I could understand everything about God I wouldn't want to serve that God God doesn't lead us by our intellect he doesn't lead us by our emotions which means we got to learn how to get those emotions under control that means in 2018 you can't make a bunch of emotional decisions I'm a-standing wait I get a man from everybody I still what has 80 80 percent of you need to cut few or a you some more amens six of unity right he didn't say Amen God's not gonna lead us by emotions which means we can't make a bunch of emotional decisions which means watch this before you make any decisions of quality give yourself time to let your emotions calm down don't quit a good job because you got emotional don't don't break up break up with a good friendship because you got emotional for the moment your destiny is tied to the people God has called you to be in covenant with don't break covenant because you got emotional for the moment and couldn't bring those emotions under control God doesn't lead us by our mind he is lead us by our will whether I want to do it or not they don't determine whether this guy's will he doesn't lead us by our cousins and our friends and other people's opinions God leads us by our spirit I was on Instagram this weekend in Atlanta and I pulled up a Instagram post from a Chelsea Henry she's Chelsea bent it now younger a group in our church here and now is an adult so proud of her she's she and her husband are pastoring a little Church up there in a new church up there and I try to minister to him and social things into their lives and God used her to minister to me cuz a little poster she put up and it had this quote it says stop asking the blind to proofread your vision come on you better say hey man stop asking the blind spiritually blind stop asking folks they can't even see anything spiritually to proofread your vision don't ask folks that don't even take time to pray to have an opinion about what God might be saying to you know you take enough time to get along with God that's why these 21 days of Prayer gonna be so life-changing for you because there's some of you that during these 21 days guys gonna radically do something on the inside of you he's gonna pull you in so deep and so close come on he's gonna get an intimacy back with you that he's been longing to have with you again you're gonna get back to that place where you were at your first love we're in the mornings you're getting up and there's nothing on your mind but Jesus in the noonday there's nothing on your mind but Jesus in the midnight hour there's nothing on your mind but Jesus and when it you're gonna find God is leading you and guiding you and directing you by your spirit not by all these voices coming from the outside shout a man somebody they're gonna be some exciting ceases next year but there's also going to be some silent seasons sometimes when there's not a lot going on and you got to be able to listen to God pray in the spirit as a lifestyle and watch God leads you around every obstacle and lead you to blessing after blessing after blessing after blessing are you so lucky on to law I'm not lucky I serve a really good guy come on I serve a really good guy it's gonna take some eyes to see some courage to trust it's gonna take a willingness to let go of your now in order to embrace your next it's gonna take a willingness to let go of your now in order to embrace your next turn to Matthew chapter 9 are you still with me today are you still excited today Matthew chapter 9 verse 16 Jesus is speaking he says no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment for the patch pulls away from the garment and the tear is made worse nor do they put new wine into what come on I can't hear they don't put new wine into what or else the wine skins will break the wine is spilled and the wine skins are ruined but they put new wine into what new wineskins and both are preserved listen those verse from the New Living Translation Jesus said besides who would patch old clothing with a new cloth for the new patch which shrink and rip away from the old cloth leaving an even bigger tear than before and no one puts new wine into old wineskins watch this for the old wine skins would burst from the pressure they can't take the pressure spilling the wine and ruining the skins new wine is stored in new wine skins so that both are preserved the Lord spoke something to me a few months ago and he said son you can't put new wine into old wine skin you can't build a new house with old bricks that's the word Lord for your life you can't build a new house with old bricks which means you got to be okay with God stepping in and allowing some things from your past to now become a part of your past one of the greatest hindrances to people walking in their necks is the inability to walk away from their yesterday one of the greatest hindrances one of the greatest things that keeps people from walking in this glorious next is that they can't let go of their yesterday 2018 is your year to stop rehearsing how anybody from your past has hurt you 2018 is your year to stop singing you're somebody done me wrong song somebody done me wrong somebody done me wrong I need to tell everybody hits somebody doesn't me wrong no 2018 is your year to forgive him come on say man somebody come on 2018 is your year to forgive her 2018 is your year to forgive them 2018 is your year to do what Philippians 3:13 says Paul said I don't I don't claim to have comprehending everything but this one thing I have figured out for getting those things which I was come on forgetting those things which I was behind and reaching forth to those things that are before Paul said I'm pressing toward tomorrow 2018 is your year to forget all that stuff from behind you forgive those folks let it go I heard a story about a minutes I think it was less of some raw but I'm not certain friend of mine I know who was valeting this one minister and and he was valeting him when he came to speak in Detroit years ago and he got to a he's at the airport getting ready to park he needed to back up because he was a little bit too far ahead and the minister in the backs he said no do not back up because because he wouldn't let anybody in his own car he never used the reverse and he wouldn't let anybody put the car in reverse when they were driving him around so he made the guy put the car in drive and drive a whole lap all the way around the airport to get back to that same spot because he didn't believe in going to reverse that might be a little bit extreme but I do get the points they say man somebody that you don't want to be in a spot where you keep going backwards and rehearsing all the stuff from the past come on let's just settle it but about time midnight rolls around the day you're done talking about who didn't do you right last year let's just declare that I'm done being a victim come on I'm done talking about my daddy name and what they didn't do it my cousin and my mama and I'm just determined it with God on my side my future's bright and I'm going on with God don't even let people drag you back to where you used to be you ever you ever had when I was in encounters where you haven't seen somebody in a long time and so in your head you have one image of what they look like based on the last time you saw but then when you see them again you either go WOW or you go whoa well cuz image you have in your head they're not like that anymore well don't let peep that haven't seen you in a long time we've been around you in a long time I let them drag you back to old habits come on talk to me somebody don't let me drag you back to old ways of thinking and my mind said is if you haven't known me in the last 12 months and you don't know me at all cuz God is doing a great work in your life and mine don't let anybody take you backwards in the name of Jesus and then the last thing you need is a heart of total surrender you need eyes that can see what God is doing Carissa trust him willingness to let go of you now you need a heart of total surrender Luke chapter 9 verse 23 says this then he said to the crowd if any of you wants to be my follower you must give up your own way come on somebody say give up your own way come on say like you mean to give up your own way you've got to give up your own way another way of saying that is you've got to surrender you must give up your own way you must surrender you must take up your cross daily Jesus said and follow me I'm here to tell you that God is preparing a table before you right in the presence of your enemies gods and let all those that doubted you all those that talked about you he's gonna give them a chance to see that the Lord has been on your side all along but if you're gonna see that it's gonna require total surrender which means there can't be any little pockets of your life that you're still holding back can't be any little piece of your life that you're still trying to handle on your own you can't do the same thing you've been doing and expect to get different results in the next year no it's gonna require an absolute total surrender come on say man somebody in other words you need to understand this surrender is in any event it's a lifestyle surrender is is something that I I did I surrendered my life no it's a daily get up every day Lord this is your day today Lord have your way in my conversations today have your way in my relationships today Lord I surrender my thoughts you ask surrender my will to you do what you want to do in my life today every day are you listening to me today every day of your 2018 if you're gonna see your next be so much greater than your now has been it's gonna require you to get up every day and simply surrender to God come lift up your hands to the Lord that's what he's 21 days of Prayer 21 days of fasting is gonna be so powerful for you every day we're surrendering every day we're giving it all to God every day we're yielding to him come on lift up your hands and thank the Lord come on lift your voice father we bless you in this place hallelujah Lord we bless your name we bless your name we bless your name come on lift your hands and worship the Lord with me [Music] I surrender I wanna know I wanna know [Music] forcing their witness [Music] I wanna know you I wanna know you I surrender [Music] I want [Music] you [Music] whoa [Music] come on little boys and blast [Music] like she's at three lord have your way Lord have your way [Music] stirring but have you way [Music] she [Music] [Music] [Music] come on [Music] somebody stole [Music] [Music] [Music] I surrender I wonder she hesitated I surrender I surrender [Music] I wanna know you more I wanna told you I surrender I surrender I wanna know you I wanna know you [Music] I [Music] [Music] go ahead and stand with us I guess some of you in here today and knowing your heart you're so blessed to see this last date 2017 and if you like me you know that you're here not because of your own goodness but because of the grace and mercy and love of God but if some of you in here that have yet to make that next decision that is to go ahead and fully surrender your heart to Christ it's one thing to sing the song singing beautifully something else to make a decision in your heart that I'm really surrendering my life to Jesus allowing him to become Lord of my life giving him control of my actions and my decisions and my thoughts see religion has made us think that you got to be perfect you got to have it all together in order to come to God this exact opposite God says come to me just like you are whatever your Ward's are whatever your failings are whatever your faults are bring them along with you blood of jesus christ will pay the price for your sin it's already done it god will turn around and make you brand new from the inside out so if you're here today you don't know Jesus Christ your Lord save him I want to ask you would you please allow me this great privilege to lead you to the Lord on this last day of 2017 a lot of folks say why wait till next week you don't have a guarantee you'll see next
