| Philip Anthony Mitchell: Christ the Way Maker | The Character of God | June 3, 2026
- You and
- 00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:01.191
- I serve a god that knows the end from the beginning.
- 00:00:01.191 --> 00:00:03.526
- And there was nothing at all creation.
- 00:00:03.526 --> 00:00:05.028
- He cannot adjust on your behalf.
- 00:00:05.028 --> 00:00:07.330
- You are his son and his daughter,
- 00:00:07.330 --> 00:00:11.201
- And he desires to step into
- 00:00:11.201 --> 00:00:15.271
- Every difficult circumstance that you are in.
- 00:00:15.271 --> 00:00:18.274
- So i want to take this moment to encourage you.
- 00:00:18.274 --> 00:00:20.410
- My brother
- 00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:21.945
- And i want to take this moment to encourage you, my sister.
- 00:00:21.945 --> 00:00:24.481
- Those of you who need watch this word, help.
- 00:00:24.481 --> 00:00:29.018
- And it's beyond your ability.
- 00:00:29.652 --> 00:00:31.521
- It may be beyond your ability, but it's not beyond the ability
- 00:00:31.521 --> 00:00:34.557
- Of the god that we serve.
- 00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:39.062
- A tbm family.
- 00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:40.830
- I want to take this moment to talk to you about christ,
- 00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:43.867
- The waymaker.
- 00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:45.702
- If you followed our ministry, you know that
- 00:00:45.702 --> 00:00:48.037
- I have the privilege of leading 2819 church,
- 00:00:48.037 --> 00:00:51.307
- A ministry that i believe that god is using as a revival
- 00:00:51.307 --> 00:00:54.677
- Right now in our nation and around the world.
- 00:00:54.677 --> 00:00:57.914
- But if you follow our ministry, you also know
- 00:00:57.914 --> 00:01:00.416
- That there's a difficult season we went through.
- 00:01:00.416 --> 00:01:02.218
- That's not a secret.
- 00:01:02.218 --> 00:01:03.453
- When god began to breathe on 2019,
- 00:01:03.453 --> 00:01:06.756
- In 2023 and 2024,
- 00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:10.393
- We were meeting in a high school in the city of atlanta.
- 00:01:10.393 --> 00:01:13.696
- And because of the growth of the ministry, jesus was adding
- 00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:17.066
- Brothers and sisters, sons and daughters
- 00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:19.335
- At such an alarming rate,
- 00:01:19.335 --> 00:01:20.470
- It began to overwhelm the community that we was in,
- 00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:24.207
- And there were legitimate cries
- 00:01:24.207 --> 00:01:25.742
- In the community about traffic and parking and foot traffic
- 00:01:25.742 --> 00:01:29.679
- And all the things, and a situation emerged
- 00:01:29.679 --> 00:01:32.615
- Where we can no longer stay in that high school.
- 00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:34.918
- The principal was so gracious to us.
- 00:01:34.918 --> 00:01:37.787
- She did everything she can to help us.
- 00:01:37.787 --> 00:01:39.589
- The mayor of atlanta stepped in.
- 00:01:39.589 --> 00:01:41.991
- He did everything he can to help us,
- 00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:43.526
- But we knew we had to leave that building.
- 00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:46.129
- And we had just 90 days to leave
- 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:48.598
- And then 60 days to leave, and then 30 days to leave.
- 00:01:48.598 --> 00:01:51.801
- And we saw no way out.
- 00:01:51.801 --> 00:01:53.603
- And there was a sunday.
- 00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.104
- And i got up to preach.
- 00:01:55.104 --> 00:01:56.272
- And i thought to myself, you know what?
- 00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:57.574
- I can't preach to my church in this condition.
- 00:01:57.574 --> 00:02:00.610
- I was up all night worrying, concerned
- 00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:03.446
- Where am i going to lead some 4 or 5000 people?
- 00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:06.516
- We have no place to go.
- 00:02:06.516 --> 00:02:07.550
- And i said to the church, so listen, right now
- 00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:09.953
- There is an ocean in front of us and an army behind us.
- 00:02:09.953 --> 00:02:12.956
- And i know no way forward but for us to pray.
- 00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:15.658
- And we turned all three of our gatherings into access.
- 00:02:15.658 --> 00:02:18.328
- And we got down on our hands and knees
- 00:02:18.328 --> 00:02:20.396
- And we prayed and we sought the lord.
- 00:02:20.396 --> 00:02:22.465
- In 24 hours later, after the whole church prayed
- 00:02:22.465 --> 00:02:26.469
- A door open for us,
- 00:02:26.936 --> 00:02:29.172
- A door we would have never open.
- 00:02:29.172 --> 00:02:31.407
- And that door, that open man allowed us to transition
- 00:02:31.407 --> 00:02:34.177
- Our church from the high school
- 00:02:34.177 --> 00:02:35.845
- To the next gathering location that we turned into a home,
- 00:02:35.845 --> 00:02:39.182
- At least a temporary home, for our family.
- 00:02:39.182 --> 00:02:42.752
- I look back on that story and i am reminded
- 00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:44.821
- That christ is a waymaker.
- 00:02:44.821 --> 00:02:46.856
- There are many you watching right now.
- 00:02:46.856 --> 00:02:48.091
- You may be in a jam.
- 00:02:48.091 --> 00:02:49.926
- You may be in a financial jam,
- 00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:52.262
- A relational jam, a business jam, whatever
- 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:55.131
- The case may be, and maybe you can't see your way out.
- 00:02:55.131 --> 00:02:58.167
- Maybe you're not smart enough to figure this out.
- 00:02:58.167 --> 00:03:00.970
- Maybe you don't have the relational equity
- 00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:03.473
- To get yourself out.
- 00:03:03.473 --> 00:03:04.641
- You may not have the financial means to get yourself out,
- 00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:07.143
- But we are not helpless because we serve a god
- 00:03:07.143 --> 00:03:09.679
- Who is limitless in his power.
- 00:03:09.679 --> 00:03:11.914
- And i'm talking to people right now who have all manner
- 00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:14.550
- Of circumstances that seem impossible.
- 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.620
- But the scripture reminds us, all things are possible
- 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:21.391
- To the one who believes.
- 00:03:21.391 --> 00:03:23.726
- And just like
- 00:03:23.726 --> 00:03:24.894
- We got down on our hands and knees and prayed with faith
- 00:03:24.894 --> 00:03:27.830
- That god can make a way, i want to encourage you to pray
- 00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:31.668
- With faith and believe that god can make a way.
- 00:03:31.668 --> 00:03:35.538
- Maybe you can't see the way out, but he knows.
- 00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:38.107
- Maybe you can't figure it out, but he knows.
- 00:03:38.107 --> 00:03:40.443
- Maybe you can't pay your way out.
- 00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:42.478
- But he knows.
- 00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:43.313
- Maybe not smart enough, but he knows
- 00:03:43.313 --> 00:03:46.382
- You and i serve a god that knows the end from the beginning.
- 00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:49.886
- And there was nothing at all creation.
- 00:03:49.886 --> 00:03:51.387
- He cannot adjust on your behalf.
- 00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:53.690
- You are his son and his daughter,
- 00:03:53.690 --> 00:03:57.560
- And he desires to step into
- 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.631
- Every difficult circumstance that you are in.
- 00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:04.634
- So i want to take this moment to encourage you. my brother
- 00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:08.304
- And i want to take this moment to encourage you, my sister.
- 00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:10.840
- Those of you who need watch this word, help.
- 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.378
- And it's beyond your ability.
- 00:04:16.012 --> 00:04:17.880
- It may be beyond your ability, but it's not beyond the ability
- 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.917
- Of the god that we serve.
- 00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:22.885
- I want to encourage you to humble yourself and to pray
- 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:26.956
- And to seek god and cry out to him,
- 00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:29.359
- And let god rescue you from your circumstance.
- 00:04:29.359 --> 00:04:33.329
- Let god deliver you from your circumstance.
- 00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:37.200
- Let god step into that situation with you
- 00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:41.170
- And make a way for you where there is no way.
- 00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:43.840
- There is nothing impossible
- 00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:46.642
- For the god that you and i serve.
- 00:04:46.642 --> 00:04:49.445
- It's just a matter of your faith.
- 00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:51.881
- Your prayers, your trust and trust him to do
- 00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:55.852
- What's in accordance of his perfect will.
- 00:04:55.852 --> 00:04:58.621
- We cannot twist his arm and we cannot bargain with him.
- 00:04:58.621 --> 00:05:03.359
- But we can't exercise faith.
- 00:05:03.359 --> 00:05:05.428
- We can't pray, and we can't remind him of the scriptures.
- 00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:08.998
- So to you, my brother, and to you, my sister,
- 00:05:08.998 --> 00:05:12.435
- Who find yourself in a jam or in a need,
- 00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:15.538
- I want to remind that we serve christ the waymaker.
- 00:05:15.538 --> 00:05:20.009
- He can make a way where there's no way if he can part
- 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:23.546
- An ocean for people, what can he not do for you?
- 00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:29.218
- We serve christ, the waymaker.
- 00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:29.218
