  • Creflo: father, we thank you for this, another opportunity to
  • 00:01:44.684 --> 00:01:47.921
  • Minister to these, your precious sheep.
  • 00:01:47.921 --> 00:01:50.623
  • Thank you, lord, that revelation knowledge will flow freely,
  • 00:01:50.623 --> 00:01:54.194
  • Uninterrupted and unhindered by any satanic or demonic force.
  • 00:01:54.194 --> 00:01:58.331
  • And father, i pray that you will speak through my vocal cords and
  • 00:01:58.331 --> 00:02:01.134
  • Think through my mind, none of me and all of you.
  • 00:02:01.134 --> 00:02:04.103
  • It's in jesus's name we pray, and everybody said amen.
  • 00:02:04.103 --> 00:02:09.075
  • If you have your bibles, go with me to the book of 1 kings
  • 00:02:09.075 --> 00:02:11.978
  • Chapter 17, 1 kings chapter 17, verses 2 through 7.
  • 00:02:11.978 --> 00:02:19.285
  • A lot of times things happen in our lives and we ask questions.
  • 00:02:19.285 --> 00:02:22.288
  • Why did this have to happen?
  • 00:02:22.288 --> 00:02:24.324
  • Why didn't this happen this way?
  • 00:02:24.324 --> 00:02:26.626
  • Why wasn't that door open for me?
  • 00:02:26.626 --> 00:02:28.695
  • Why was it open for somebody else?
  • 00:02:28.695 --> 00:02:31.364
  • Why did this person have a crash?
  • 00:02:31.364 --> 00:02:32.932
  • Why did that person die early?
  • 00:02:32.932 --> 00:02:36.135
  • Why did this person have to go through this divorce two or
  • 00:02:36.135 --> 00:02:41.007
  • Three times?
  • 00:02:41.007 --> 00:02:42.375
  • Why did this person have to go through this particular trauma?
  • 00:02:42.375 --> 00:02:45.311
  • We have lots of questions, but we never--well, not never, but
  • 00:02:45.311 --> 00:02:49.983
  • Sometimes we just don't sit down and ask god to minister to us
  • 00:02:49.983 --> 00:02:54.587
  • About us being in the right place.
  • 00:02:54.587 --> 00:02:59.892
  • We don't really talk to him about, "father, am i where you
  • 00:02:59.892 --> 00:03:04.697
  • Want me to be?
  • 00:03:04.697 --> 00:03:06.065
  • Am i doing what you want me to do?"
  • 00:03:06.065 --> 00:03:09.769
  • Life is interesting.
  • 00:03:09.769 --> 00:03:11.638
  • It carries with it a lot of tests and trouble and trials,
  • 00:03:11.638 --> 00:03:18.111
  • And we don't understand that if you keep doing the same thing,
  • 00:03:18.111 --> 00:03:22.282
  • You're gonna keep getting the same results.
  • 00:03:22.282 --> 00:03:24.384
  • And you keep walking in insanity because you're doing the same
  • 00:03:24.384 --> 00:03:28.254
  • Thing, you're expecting something different to happen,
  • 00:03:28.254 --> 00:03:30.556
  • And nothing differently is gonna happen because you keep doing
  • 00:03:30.556 --> 00:03:35.094
  • The same thing.
  • 00:03:35.094 --> 00:03:36.429
  • That's a form of insanity.
  • 00:03:36.429 --> 00:03:39.365
  • And then as church people, we kinda come and we make fantasies
  • 00:03:39.365 --> 00:03:43.803
  • And we see things in a way that it's not really according to the
  • 00:03:43.803 --> 00:03:50.777
  • Word of god, and we want hocus-pocus to happen.
  • 00:03:50.777 --> 00:03:54.714
  • We turn our prayer time into hocus pocus.
  • 00:03:54.714 --> 00:03:58.551
  • We want somebody to lay hands on us so we can magically get well
  • 00:03:58.551 --> 00:04:02.155
  • Or magically be all right.
  • 00:04:02.155 --> 00:04:04.724
  • And why is it when all of those tricks that we try at church,
  • 00:04:04.724 --> 00:04:09.062
  • When they don't work, we still won't sit down and evaluate
  • 00:04:09.062 --> 00:04:17.437
  • Where i am and what i'm doing?
  • 00:04:17.437 --> 00:04:20.940
  • Am i in the will of god?
  • 00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:25.211
  • Am i doing what he wants me to do?
  • 00:04:25.211 --> 00:04:29.382
  • Am i at the job god wants me to be in?
  • 00:04:29.382 --> 00:04:33.353
  • Am i in the relationship god wants me to be in?
  • 00:04:33.353 --> 00:04:35.788
  • Am i surrounded by the people that god wants me surrounded by?
  • 00:04:35.788 --> 00:04:39.258
  • Am i in the church that god wants me to be in?
  • 00:04:39.258 --> 00:04:42.695
  • Am i in the department god wants me to be in?
  • 00:04:42.695 --> 00:04:46.366
  • Am i ministering where and what, how, and god wants me, all
  • 00:04:46.366 --> 00:04:50.203
  • These things?
  • 00:04:50.203 --> 00:04:52.372
  • And i'm telling you there are consequences, and we have to
  • 00:04:52.372 --> 00:04:57.143
  • Understand those consequences, and we have to understand the
  • 00:04:57.143 --> 00:05:00.913
  • Part the holy spirit plays in our everyday life, because if
  • 00:05:00.913 --> 00:05:03.816
  • You don't learn how to do life, life's gonna do you.
  • 00:05:03.816 --> 00:05:09.455
  • If you don't learn how to conquer the trials and the
  • 00:05:09.455 --> 00:05:13.993
  • Persecutions of life, you'll be conquered by and persecuted
  • 00:05:13.993 --> 00:05:17.964
  • By life.
  • 00:05:17.964 --> 00:05:20.700
  • And then the simplest thing for you to do to get some relief is
  • 00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:23.503
  • Just to blame the devil, and he wakes up sometimes saying, "oh,
  • 00:05:23.503 --> 00:05:27.039
  • That's me.
  • 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:28.374
  • Okay."
  • 00:05:28.374 --> 00:05:31.911
  • So i thought this is very important to have this series.
  • 00:05:31.911 --> 00:05:34.647
  • As we'll talk about this series, there are consequences that
  • 00:05:34.647 --> 00:05:42.355
  • Happen for being out of the will of god, and they're not the same
  • 00:05:42.355 --> 00:05:45.024
  • As what happened in the old testament.
  • 00:05:45.024 --> 00:05:47.293
  • In the old testament, the consequences were a little
  • 00:05:47.293 --> 00:05:49.495
  • Different than the consequences now that you're under the grace
  • 00:05:49.495 --> 00:05:53.332
  • Of god.
  • 00:05:53.332 --> 00:05:55.435
  • And there are also--there's this thing about people saying,
  • 00:05:55.435 --> 00:05:58.905
  • "well, you know, out of the will of god i know i have challenges,
  • 00:05:58.905 --> 00:06:03.509
  • But if i'm in the will of god, i'm not having challenges."
  • 00:06:03.509 --> 00:06:06.379
  • No, that's wrong too.
  • 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:07.713
  • You're gonna have challenges whether you're in the will of
  • 00:06:07.713 --> 00:06:09.415
  • God or out of the will of god.
  • 00:06:09.415 --> 00:06:11.751
  • They just serve differently, a different purpose, 'cause you
  • 00:06:11.751 --> 00:06:14.520
  • Might ask, "well, why be in the will of god if you still
  • 00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:16.556
  • Have challenges?"
  • 00:06:16.556 --> 00:06:18.124
  • Because, you know, some of those challenges are way different
  • 00:06:18.124 --> 00:06:22.128
  • When you're out of the will of god, that jonah thing, versus
  • 00:06:22.128 --> 00:06:26.065
  • The challenges you have in the will of god, that apostle paul
  • 00:06:26.065 --> 00:06:29.235
  • Thing, but yet god would use it for a different purpose.
  • 00:06:29.235 --> 00:06:34.640
  • So i want you to pay very close attention to me today.
  • 00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:38.244
  • I share this with you because i love you.
  • 00:06:38.244 --> 00:06:40.513
  • I'm not trying to--why in the world would i get up here to try
  • 00:06:40.513 --> 00:06:43.316
  • To offend you or anything like that?
  • 00:06:43.316 --> 00:06:45.485
  • I'm just saying most of the stuff i get out of looking at my
  • 00:06:45.485 --> 00:06:49.055
  • Own life, and i figured that i can't be too far away from you.
  • 00:06:49.055 --> 00:06:54.193
  • So why don't i become vulnerable enough to share what i learned
  • 00:06:54.193 --> 00:06:58.564
  • About me?
  • 00:06:58.564 --> 00:06:59.932
  • Hopefully you can get some of it out of yourself, but these
  • 00:06:59.932 --> 00:07:02.768
  • Things i am sure.
  • 00:07:02.768 --> 00:07:04.136
  • I've gone through plenty enough trials, almost 45 years in the
  • 00:07:04.136 --> 00:07:07.807
  • Ministry, and i know what it's like when you're out of the will
  • 00:07:07.807 --> 00:07:11.244
  • Of god, and i know what it's like when you're in the will
  • 00:07:11.244 --> 00:07:14.380
  • Of god.
  • 00:07:14.380 --> 00:07:16.282
  • So let's begin this morning.
  • 00:07:16.282 --> 00:07:18.885
  • As we look at elijah at the brook, 1 kings chapter 17 and
  • 00:07:18.885 --> 00:07:25.258
  • Verse 2 through 7, verse 2 says, "and the word of the lord came
  • 00:07:25.258 --> 00:07:30.496
  • Unto him, elijah, saying, get thee hence, and turn thee
  • 00:07:30.496 --> 00:07:35.167
  • Eastward, and hide thyself by the brook of cherith, that is
  • 00:07:35.167 --> 00:07:40.840
  • Before jordan.
  • 00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:43.442
  • And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and i have
  • 00:07:43.442 --> 00:07:48.915
  • Commanded the ravens to feed thee there."
  • 00:07:48.915 --> 00:07:55.187
  • "i talked to the ravens about taking care of you there.
  • 00:07:55.187 --> 00:07:57.857
  • I made sure you had water there."
  • 00:07:57.857 --> 00:08:02.962
  • "so he went and he did.
  • 00:08:02.962 --> 00:08:04.330
  • He went and he did."
  • 00:08:04.330 --> 00:08:05.665
  • Somebody say, "went and did."
  • 00:08:05.665 --> 00:08:08.501
  • "he went and he did according unto the word of the lord: for
  • 00:08:08.501 --> 00:08:12.538
  • He went and he dwelt by the brook of cherith, that is
  • 00:08:12.538 --> 00:08:16.742
  • Before jordan.
  • 00:08:16.742 --> 00:08:19.178
  • And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and
  • 00:08:19.178 --> 00:08:23.683
  • Bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
  • 00:08:23.683 --> 00:08:31.223
  • And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up."
  • 00:08:31.223 --> 00:08:36.228
  • How many of you know you don't need to stay at the brook
  • 00:08:36.228 --> 00:08:37.964
  • If--after it's dried up?
  • 00:08:37.964 --> 00:08:40.733
  • And god's trying to really direct our lives, and we're
  • 00:08:40.733 --> 00:08:44.670
  • Staying at jobs that's dried up.
  • 00:08:44.670 --> 00:08:47.940
  • We stayed in situations that's dried up.
  • 00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:50.776
  • We don't want it to dry up, but it's dried up, and you won't
  • 00:08:50.776 --> 00:08:53.346
  • Recognize it's dried up.
  • 00:08:53.346 --> 00:08:56.182
  • He said, "because there had been no rain in the land."
  • 00:08:56.182 --> 00:09:02.355
  • So god's provision was already waiting but only at that place
  • 00:09:02.355 --> 00:09:11.364
  • Of there.
  • 00:09:11.364 --> 00:09:13.032
  • His provisions were at that place called there, the brook,
  • 00:09:13.032 --> 00:09:17.503
  • That place called there, and all of us have a place called there.
  • 00:09:17.503 --> 00:09:23.809
  • If elijah had gone somewhere else, the ravens weren't going
  • 00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:30.282
  • To follow him.
  • 00:09:30.282 --> 00:09:32.918
  • We love doing that.
  • 00:09:32.918 --> 00:09:34.620
  • "lord, i know you told me to be here, but i wanna be over there.
  • 00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:37.957
  • Come on, come on."
  • 00:09:37.957 --> 00:09:40.026
  • And he's not doing that.
  • 00:09:40.026 --> 00:09:42.695
  • "i would rather be here, god, rather than the place
  • 00:09:42.695 --> 00:09:45.631
  • Called there."
  • 00:09:45.631 --> 00:09:46.966
  • He says, "well you can do whatever you want to.
  • 00:09:46.966 --> 00:09:48.334
  • You have a free moral agent, but i want you to know your
  • 00:09:48.334 --> 00:09:50.603
  • Provisions are at that place called there."
  • 00:09:50.603 --> 00:09:55.307
  • How many times somebody has used the increase of finances to get
  • 00:09:55.307 --> 00:09:59.078
  • Us out of our place called there?
  • 00:09:59.078 --> 00:10:02.014
  • And if you'd have stayed there long enough, you would have
  • 00:10:02.014 --> 00:10:04.483
  • Found out that it was much more better in the place called there
  • 00:10:04.483 --> 00:10:08.621
  • Than everywhere else you decided to go.
  • 00:10:08.621 --> 00:10:11.257
  • What motivates you to get out of that place called there?
  • 00:10:11.257 --> 00:10:14.927
  • Is it offense that motivates you to get out of that place
  • 00:10:14.927 --> 00:10:17.296
  • Called there?
  • 00:10:17.296 --> 00:10:18.864
  • Is it mammon or the promise of more money that gets you out of
  • 00:10:18.864 --> 00:10:23.669
  • The place called there?
  • 00:10:23.669 --> 00:10:25.304
  • You'll get out of that place called there, and you'll find
  • 00:10:25.304 --> 00:10:27.173
  • Out you had it better with less money than you do when you got
  • 00:10:27.173 --> 00:10:30.109
  • More money on there because you weren't paying attention to what
  • 00:10:30.109 --> 00:10:32.678
  • God had already provided at that place called there.
  • 00:10:32.678 --> 00:10:36.615
  • Wow.
  • 00:10:36.615 --> 00:10:38.250
  • That place called there is where you meet everybody.
  • 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:41.153
  • That place called there where you meet your husband and your
  • 00:10:41.153 --> 00:10:43.723
  • Wife, but you saw old curly head jethro over the place over
  • 00:10:43.723 --> 00:10:47.326
  • There, and jethro moved you from that place called there.
  • 00:10:47.326 --> 00:10:53.866
  • How many of you know everybody got a jethro
  • 00:10:53.866 --> 00:10:55.234
  • In their life, amen?
  • 00:10:55.234 --> 00:11:00.873
  • His water wasn't going to flow everywhere.
  • 00:11:00.873 --> 00:11:05.044
  • The blessing was tied to the place.
  • 00:11:05.044 --> 00:11:09.982
  • That's what the will of god looks like.
  • 00:11:09.982 --> 00:11:13.018
  • There is a there in your life, a place of peace in your life, a
  • 00:11:13.018 --> 00:11:19.625
  • Place of joy, a place of provision, a place of purpose at
  • 00:11:19.625 --> 00:11:26.632
  • That place called there.
  • 00:11:26.632 --> 00:11:30.803
  • And when you're there, you're sustained.
  • 00:11:30.803 --> 00:11:35.174
  • And when you step away, it's not that god withdraws.
  • 00:11:35.174 --> 00:11:42.114
  • It's that you stepped away from the flow of what he had already
  • 00:11:42.114 --> 00:11:46.352
  • Prepared, not that you're gonna die, not that you're gonna get
  • 00:11:46.352 --> 00:11:49.955
  • Beat up, not under this covenant of grace.
  • 00:11:49.955 --> 00:11:53.159
  • You just stepped out of the flow.
  • 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.661
  • You stepped out of the place where peace was.
  • 00:11:55.661 --> 00:11:58.564
  • You stepped out of the place where you had purpose.
  • 00:11:58.564 --> 00:12:02.334
  • I speak of church because that's where we are, and i see people
  • 00:12:02.334 --> 00:12:05.437
  • Make all kinds of weird excuses.
  • 00:12:05.437 --> 00:12:07.540
  • They send letters, you know, that my time is up, god is
  • 00:12:07.540 --> 00:12:10.476
  • Leading me somewhere else, and god ain't said nothing to you
  • 00:12:10.476 --> 00:12:13.145
  • About it.
  • 00:12:13.145 --> 00:12:14.513
  • And then you move over there because, really, you wanted
  • 00:12:14.513 --> 00:12:17.183
  • Control of something, and you left the place called there, and
  • 00:12:17.183 --> 00:12:24.190
  • You're trying to figure out where's your peace.
  • 00:12:24.190 --> 00:12:26.559
  • Now you got to pretend like you have peace.
  • 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.029
  • Where's your purpose?
  • 00:12:30.029 --> 00:12:31.363
  • Now you gotta pretend like you got purpose.
  • 00:12:31.363 --> 00:12:33.766
  • Where are your provisions?
  • 00:12:33.766 --> 00:12:35.100
  • Now you gotta pretend like you have provisions, and you become
  • 00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:38.237
  • A part of the church that has perfected phoniness.
  • 00:12:38.237 --> 00:12:43.309
  • And the whole world can see the phoniness except you can't
  • 00:12:43.309 --> 00:12:47.179
  • Because your vision has even been impacted because you're no
  • 00:12:47.179 --> 00:12:50.149
  • Longer there.
  • 00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:52.518
  • This is important because god wants to sustain our lives, and
  • 00:12:52.518 --> 00:12:58.457
  • He has already provided sustenance for our lives at that
  • 00:12:58.457 --> 00:13:03.095
  • Place called there.
  • 00:13:03.095 --> 00:13:04.430
  • We walked away from the flow.
  • 00:13:04.430 --> 00:13:06.498
  • We walk away from the brook.
  • 00:13:06.498 --> 00:13:09.335
  • We walk away from the directions.
  • 00:13:09.335 --> 00:13:11.270
  • We walk away from everything that god had already done.
  • 00:13:11.270 --> 00:13:17.076
  • We still have this mentality that god is doing, and you have
  • 00:13:17.076 --> 00:13:21.080
  • To understand that everything god is going to do has
  • 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.483
  • Been done.
  • 00:13:24.483 --> 00:13:26.986
  • And so you think you can go anywhere and get him to start
  • 00:13:26.986 --> 00:13:29.855
  • Doing when god's already done.
  • 00:13:29.855 --> 00:13:33.192
  • Somebody talk about, "let's tell the angels what to do."
  • 00:13:33.192 --> 00:13:35.661
  • No, god has already commanded the angels concerning you.
  • 00:13:35.661 --> 00:13:40.799
  • You better be glad that god's not waiting till the last minute
  • 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.068
  • To tell the angel what to do.
  • 00:13:43.068 --> 00:13:44.470
  • The angel already has an assignment.
  • 00:13:44.470 --> 00:13:47.072
  • So when that car comes to hit your car, the angels already
  • 00:13:47.072 --> 00:13:50.142
  • Know, "i got to get between you and that car," because god has
  • 00:13:50.142 --> 00:13:54.113
  • Already commanded those angels to watch over you.
  • 00:13:54.113 --> 00:14:01.120
  • Jesus is our ultimate brook.
  • 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.722
  • I'm going to show you something.
  • 00:14:03.722 --> 00:14:05.057
  • Go to saint john chapter 7, verse 38.
  • 00:14:05.057 --> 00:14:09.295
  • Jesus is ultimately--is our ultimate brook.
  • 00:14:09.295 --> 00:14:11.864
  • Jesus for most of us, for all of us, well, is that place
  • 00:14:11.864 --> 00:14:17.403
  • Called there.
  • 00:14:17.403 --> 00:14:18.771
  • It's--as long as i'm with him, i'm good.
  • 00:14:18.771 --> 00:14:23.776
  • I'm good.
  • 00:14:23.776 --> 00:14:26.011
  • Say out loud, "jesus is my brook."
  • 00:14:26.011 --> 00:14:27.846
  • Congregation: jesus is my brook.
  • 00:14:27.846 --> 00:14:31.317
  • Creflo: john 7:38 says, "he that believeth on me, as the
  • 00:14:31.317 --> 00:14:36.188
  • Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow," what?
  • 00:14:36.188 --> 00:14:41.560
  • "rivers of living water."
  • 00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:43.996
  • So practically speaking, the spirit leads us every day into a
  • 00:14:43.996 --> 00:14:49.234
  • Specific place, into the place of our there.
  • 00:14:49.234 --> 00:14:53.439
  • Every day the spirit of god is leading me to that specific
  • 00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:58.243
  • Place of there, a provision that needs to be met in my life, and
  • 00:14:58.243 --> 00:15:02.548
  • The spirit of god has taken me to that place where my provision
  • 00:15:02.548 --> 00:15:05.985
  • Has already been supplied to that place called there.
  • 00:15:05.985 --> 00:15:11.123
  • It's not a matter of did he do it?
  • 00:15:11.123 --> 00:15:13.792
  • It's a matter of are you aware that there is where it's done?
  • 00:15:13.792 --> 00:15:19.064
  • Oh, my god.
  • 00:15:19.064 --> 00:15:21.200
  • So when god through the holy spirit is leading and guiding
  • 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.036
  • You, it's important that you as a christian get to the place
  • 00:15:24.036 --> 00:15:27.639
  • Where you have a daily relationship with the holy
  • 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.343
  • Spirit, where he can lead and guide you into all the truth.
  • 00:15:31.343 --> 00:15:34.713
  • When i was growing up in church, the only thing i knew about the
  • 00:15:34.713 --> 00:15:37.449
  • Holy spirit was when people got emotional and started shouting
  • 00:15:37.449 --> 00:15:41.020
  • And all that kind of stuff, and you know, somebody asked,
  • 00:15:41.020 --> 00:15:43.655
  • "what is that?"
  • 00:15:43.655 --> 00:15:44.990
  • Well, that's the holy ghost.
  • 00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:46.325
  • And i found out that the holy spirit was given to us so he can
  • 00:15:46.325 --> 00:15:48.327
  • Lead and guide us into all the truth.
  • 00:15:48.327 --> 00:15:50.129
  • And now i understand that that is vital because whatever i
  • 00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:53.699
  • Might need in my life is already provided in that place called
  • 00:15:53.699 --> 00:15:56.802
  • There, but i don't--i might not know where there is, and i need
  • 00:15:56.802 --> 00:16:00.672
  • To depend on the holy ghost so that he can daily take me to
  • 00:16:00.672 --> 00:16:03.609
  • That place of there.
  • 00:16:03.609 --> 00:16:08.414
  • I need the holy ghost to take me to that place of there.
  • 00:16:08.414 --> 00:16:12.918
  • I tell you, if i'd had stayed in west virginia, which i
  • 00:16:12.918 --> 00:16:17.056
  • Thought i would stay in west virginia because i was only
  • 00:16:17.056 --> 00:16:20.325
  • Concerned about pursuing one thing in athletics--and i walked
  • 00:16:20.325 --> 00:16:24.263
  • Away from it, and i transferred to--you know, and the holy ghost
  • 00:16:24.263 --> 00:16:28.600
  • Will help you get where you're supposed to do.
  • 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.836
  • He'll help you sometimes when you don't really know why you're
  • 00:16:30.836 --> 00:16:32.938
  • Doing it, but you know you need to be doing it.
  • 00:16:32.938 --> 00:16:35.374
  • But had i never transferred, i would have never met taffi, and
  • 00:16:35.374 --> 00:16:40.612
  • If i had never met taffi, i'd be dead.
  • 00:16:40.612 --> 00:16:47.853
  • It was a place called there.
  • 00:16:47.853 --> 00:16:49.988
  • It was when when classes were changing, and it was a beautiful
  • 00:16:49.988 --> 00:16:53.692
  • Spring day.
  • 00:16:53.692 --> 00:16:55.060
  • And i was walking down the mall, and she was walking down
  • 00:16:55.060 --> 00:17:00.532
  • The mall.
  • 00:17:00.532 --> 00:17:01.867
  • And she had this beautiful strap spring, flower, colorful dress
  • 00:17:01.867 --> 00:17:06.772
  • On, and her skin was glowing like an angel.
  • 00:17:06.772 --> 00:17:15.514
  • I don't know if i cussed or praised the lord.
  • 00:17:15.514 --> 00:17:20.519
  • I was like--she walked by, and i was like, "whoa."
  • 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:26.291
  • And i was goofy, you know, when you goofy when you don't know,
  • 00:17:26.291 --> 00:17:28.694
  • And i'm like--i said, "oh, look at the little girl."
  • 00:17:28.694 --> 00:17:33.332
  • She said, "boy, i'm a grown woman."
  • 00:17:33.332 --> 00:17:36.735
  • Like, "dang, why i say that?
  • 00:17:36.735 --> 00:17:38.203
  • Why i say that? why i say that?"
  • 00:17:38.203 --> 00:17:40.539
  • But it was at that place called there.
  • 00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:44.743
  • A lot of y'all are looking for stuff instead of asking the holy
  • 00:17:44.743 --> 00:17:47.579
  • Ghost, "lead me to my there for today.
  • 00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:52.084
  • Lead me for--to my there for tomorrow."
  • 00:17:52.084 --> 00:17:55.187
  • So whatever the problem is, whatever the issue is, whatever
  • 00:17:55.187 --> 00:17:57.990
  • The need is, there's a place called there where it's there
  • 00:17:57.990 --> 00:18:01.226
  • Waiting on you.
  • 00:18:01.226 --> 00:18:02.995
  • So a lot of times you never arrived there, and then you
  • 00:18:02.995 --> 00:18:05.497
  • Blame it on god and say it's the devil's fault, and you don't
  • 00:18:05.497 --> 00:18:08.867
  • Have no relationship with the holy spirit, who wants to lead
  • 00:18:08.867 --> 00:18:11.603
  • And guide you to the places of there, where everything has
  • 00:18:11.603 --> 00:18:16.041
  • Already been provided.
  • 00:18:16.041 --> 00:18:19.645
  • Lord have mercy, that's good preaching.
  • 00:18:19.645 --> 00:18:21.213
  • I'm gonna give myself an offering.
  • 00:18:21.213 --> 00:18:23.382
  • Uh-oh, i already gave it.
  • 00:18:23.382 --> 00:18:29.454
  • God didn't say, "elijah, i'll bless you anywhere you wanna go.
  • 00:18:29.454 --> 00:18:34.560
  • Anywhere you wanna go, elijah, i'll bless you," you know?
  • 00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:38.130
  • And i hear people say, "well, i'm blessed in the city, and i'm
  • 00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:40.365
  • Blessed in the field."
  • 00:18:40.365 --> 00:18:41.733
  • Now, see, you taking that out of context.
  • 00:18:41.733 --> 00:18:43.068
  • He says, "if you do these things under the law, then i'll bless
  • 00:18:43.068 --> 00:18:47.673
  • You in this hidden field."
  • 00:18:47.673 --> 00:18:49.007
  • He said, "but if you don't do these things, you're gonna be
  • 00:18:49.007 --> 00:18:51.043
  • Cursed in the field."
  • 00:18:51.043 --> 00:18:53.812
  • No, no, the place of there is where the holy spirit leads.
  • 00:18:53.812 --> 00:18:57.983
  • "i'll bless you there."
  • 00:18:57.983 --> 00:18:59.718
  • Your there is his will, and out of his will, you find yourself
  • 00:18:59.718 --> 00:19:04.489
  • Struggling because you're not in the flow.
  • 00:19:04.489 --> 00:19:06.758
  • In his will, you're sustained even in famine.
  • 00:19:06.758 --> 00:19:11.830
  • Now, i want you to follow me in some pretty heavy details.
  • 00:19:11.830 --> 00:19:17.202
  • How do i apply this for today?
  • 00:19:17.202 --> 00:19:20.439
  • So let's say i'm out of his will.
  • 00:19:20.439 --> 00:19:23.809
  • Alright, now, you're out of his will, but under the new
  • 00:19:23.809 --> 00:19:27.179
  • Covenant, you don't lose salvation.
  • 00:19:27.179 --> 00:19:31.483
  • You don't lose salvation when you're out of his will.
  • 00:19:31.483 --> 00:19:35.354
  • It's different than when it was in the old testament.
  • 00:19:35.354 --> 00:19:37.356
  • In the new testament, you may be out of his will, but you don't
  • 00:19:37.356 --> 00:19:40.826
  • Lose salvation.
  • 00:19:40.826 --> 00:19:42.194
  • "but--well, pastor, do i lose something?"
  • 00:19:42.194 --> 00:19:43.695
  • Yeah, you don't lose salvation, but you're gonna lose the flow
  • 00:19:43.695 --> 00:19:47.866
  • Of peace.
  • 00:19:47.866 --> 00:19:49.968
  • You're gonna lose the flow of joy.
  • 00:19:49.968 --> 00:19:53.872
  • You're gonna lose the flow of faithfulness.
  • 00:19:53.872 --> 00:19:57.542
  • These are all the things--excuse me, not faithfulness.
  • 00:19:57.542 --> 00:20:00.145
  • You lose the flow of fruitfulness, not faithfulness
  • 00:20:00.145 --> 00:20:03.181
  • But fruitfulness.
  • 00:20:03.181 --> 00:20:04.750
  • Let me show you the scriptures, philippians chapter 4 and 7.
  • 00:20:04.750 --> 00:20:08.320
  • Out of the will of god, that peace that philippians 4 and 7
  • 00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:12.124
  • Talks about--you walk out of the flow of it.
  • 00:20:12.124 --> 00:20:15.427
  • He says, "and the peace of god, which passes all understanding,
  • 00:20:15.427 --> 00:20:17.896
  • Shall keep your hearts and your minds through jesus christ."
  • 00:20:17.896 --> 00:20:20.699
  • But out of the will of god, you step away from that, the peace
  • 00:20:20.699 --> 00:20:25.137
  • That passes your understanding.
  • 00:20:25.137 --> 00:20:27.773
  • In john 15 and 11, you step out of the flow of joy, he says,
  • 00:20:27.773 --> 00:20:34.913
  • "these things have i spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in
  • 00:20:34.913 --> 00:20:38.317
  • You, that you--that your joy might be full."
  • 00:20:38.317 --> 00:20:41.219
  • And you're out of the will of god.
  • 00:20:41.219 --> 00:20:42.587
  • You step away from that joy.
  • 00:20:42.587 --> 00:20:45.590
  • Or then the fruitfulness in john chapter 15 and verse 5 where he
  • 00:20:45.590 --> 00:20:50.295
  • Talks about, "i am the vine, you are the branches; he that
  • 00:20:50.295 --> 00:20:54.866
  • Abideth in me, and i in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:
  • 00:20:54.866 --> 00:20:59.504
  • For without me you shall do nothing.
  • 00:20:59.504 --> 00:21:01.173
  • But you stepped away from him, and as a branch, you're going
  • 00:21:01.173 --> 00:21:04.710
  • Around fruitless because you stepped out of the flow.
  • 00:21:04.710 --> 00:21:07.713
  • You don't lose your salvation, and these things are
  • 00:21:07.713 --> 00:21:10.549
  • Still available.
  • 00:21:10.549 --> 00:21:11.883
  • All you got to do is step back into the flow of it, but you
  • 00:21:11.883 --> 00:21:13.885
  • Stepped out of the flow.
  • 00:21:13.885 --> 00:21:17.155
  • Why is it that things seem weird when you step away from what you
  • 00:21:17.155 --> 00:21:20.759
  • Know god called you to?
  • 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.762
  • Why is it that things seem something's wrong, i don't
  • 00:21:23.762 --> 00:21:26.998
  • Feel right?
  • 00:21:26.998 --> 00:21:28.333
  • You stepped away from something you know god called you to.
  • 00:21:28.333 --> 00:21:30.202
  • That's why you can't let--you can't allow offense to move you
  • 00:21:30.202 --> 00:21:33.805
  • From something god told you to do.
  • 00:21:33.805 --> 00:21:38.343
  • I see people all the time that god called to this church for
  • 00:21:38.343 --> 00:21:44.649
  • Their life, and they stepped away from it because offense.
  • 00:21:44.649 --> 00:21:51.056
  • Nobody can really offend you.
  • 00:21:51.056 --> 00:21:52.391
  • You have to take offense, and you got to make your mind up,
  • 00:21:52.391 --> 00:21:56.828
  • "i'm not gonna take offense."
  • 00:21:56.828 --> 00:21:58.163
  • You're gonna have an opportunity every day to take offense.
  • 00:21:58.163 --> 00:22:02.267
  • You have to look at it, keep your mouth closed, and keep
  • 00:22:02.267 --> 00:22:04.403
  • It moving.
  • 00:22:04.403 --> 00:22:06.471
  • "i'm not gonna take offense."
  • 00:22:06.471 --> 00:22:08.640
  • I know you wanna do that madea thing where you pull your peace
  • 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.143
  • Be still out your pocket, but you gotta be mature
  • 00:22:11.143 --> 00:22:19.584
  • Enough to say, "i am not gonna allow you to move me out of that
  • 00:22:19.584 --> 00:22:23.889
  • Place called there."
  • 00:22:23.889 --> 00:22:25.590
  • And then john 16 and 13, this is worth looking at.
  • 00:22:25.590 --> 00:22:30.295
  • The spirit of god that moves us every day, he says, "howbeit
  • 00:22:30.295 --> 00:22:33.465
  • When he, the spirit of truth, has come, he will," do what?
  • 00:22:33.465 --> 00:22:36.735
  • "guide you into all truth: he shall not speak of himself; but
  • 00:22:36.735 --> 00:22:41.573
  • Whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show
  • 00:22:41.573 --> 00:22:46.144
  • It unto you."
  • 00:22:46.144 --> 00:22:48.980
  • Wow, so the holy spirit leads us into our there on a daily basis.
  • 00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:55.887
  • So let's say you have a misstep.
  • 00:22:55.887 --> 00:22:59.090
  • God doesn't condemn you 'cause you have a misstep.
  • 00:22:59.090 --> 00:23:01.793
  • He redirects you just like--what's your thing on your
  • 00:23:01.793 --> 00:23:06.465
  • Phone in your car and it takes you to a direction?
  • 00:23:06.465 --> 00:23:09.267
  • Your gps.
  • 00:23:09.267 --> 00:23:11.203
  • How many times have you missed the turn and it reroutes?
  • 00:23:11.203 --> 00:23:15.841
  • How many know god knows how to reroute you?
  • 00:23:15.841 --> 00:23:22.647
  • Missteps only bring fatherly correction, not condemnation.
  • 00:23:22.647 --> 00:23:29.921
  • When you have a misstep, god's not gonna condemn you, beat you
  • 00:23:29.921 --> 00:23:32.824
  • Up, you're no good for nothing.
  • 00:23:32.824 --> 00:23:34.659
  • No, no.
  • 00:23:34.659 --> 00:23:36.027
  • When you have a misstep, he will reroute you.
  • 00:23:36.027 --> 00:23:40.832
  • He will do a course adjustment.
  • 00:23:40.832 --> 00:23:47.072
