  • The only reason why it's hanging on to you is because you don't
  • 00:00:18.234 --> 00:00:22.005
  • Know who you are and the word has not been revealed to you,
  • 00:00:22.005 --> 00:00:25.341
  • But you're getting ready to have an encounter with god because
  • 00:00:25.341 --> 00:00:28.244

  • Touré roberts: not only did he not know the lord, the person of
  • 00:00:40.056 --> 00:00:43.693
  • The lord, but this thing which is a little deeper.
  • 00:00:43.693 --> 00:00:47.430
  • It says: "nor," watch this, "was the word of the lord revealed
  • 00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:53.069
  • To him.
  • 00:00:53.069 --> 00:00:55.238
  • Nor was the word of the lord revealed to him.
  • 00:00:55.238 --> 00:00:59.309
  • What is the word of the lord?
  • 00:00:59.309 --> 00:01:02.645
  • It doesn't say, nor was were the words of the lord revealed
  • 00:01:02.645 --> 00:01:06.516
  • To him.
  • 00:01:06.516 --> 00:01:08.718
  • There is a distinction about this thing called the word of
  • 00:01:08.718 --> 00:01:11.321
  • The lord that's being made in this text.
  • 00:01:11.321 --> 00:01:16.392
  • And he goes from, watch this, not having the word of the lord,
  • 00:01:16.392 --> 00:01:22.198
  • Whatever this is, revealed to him to him being so plugged into
  • 00:01:22.198 --> 00:01:30.406
  • The flow of the word of the lord that all his life, none of his
  • 00:01:30.406 --> 00:01:34.811
  • Words fell to the ground.
  • 00:01:34.811 --> 00:01:43.586
  • Something happened that connected him to not, watch
  • 00:01:43.586 --> 00:01:50.660
  • This, the words of the lord, but this dynamic thing called
  • 00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:57.867
  • The word of the lord.
  • 00:01:57.867 --> 00:02:00.703
  • In the beginning was the word and the word was with god and
  • 00:02:00.703 --> 00:02:07.443
  • The word was god.
  • 00:02:07.443 --> 00:02:09.913
  • And, you know, the word became flesh and blood among us, but it
  • 00:02:09.913 --> 00:02:12.015
  • Talks about how everything that would be made would be made by
  • 00:02:12.015 --> 00:02:16.619
  • This thing called the word.
  • 00:02:16.619 --> 00:02:19.322
  • Not the words, but the word.
  • 00:02:19.322 --> 00:02:22.225
  • It is a dynamic, it is a flow, it is something to be
  • 00:02:22.225 --> 00:02:27.096
  • Tapped into.
  • 00:02:27.096 --> 00:02:28.598
  • And i submit to you that if you tap into the word of the lord
  • 00:02:28.598 --> 00:02:34.204
  • And you submit to the word of the lord, your life will
  • 00:02:34.204 --> 00:02:39.042
  • Radically change like his.
  • 00:02:39.042 --> 00:02:41.544
  • We're gonna break it down.
  • 00:02:41.544 --> 00:02:44.247
  • We're gonna break it down.
  • 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.615
  • The word of the lord wasn't revealed.
  • 00:02:45.615 --> 00:02:47.050
  • It wasn't revealed.
  • 00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:48.384
  • Not the words, not words, but word, word, word.
  • 00:02:48.384 --> 00:02:52.922
  • It's almost hard to describe.
  • 00:02:52.922 --> 00:02:57.260
  • I'm gonna do the best of my ability because it's divine.
  • 00:02:57.260 --> 00:03:00.997
  • Maybe we call it a flow.
  • 00:03:00.997 --> 00:03:04.367
  • A flow of truth that spans past, present, and future.
  • 00:03:04.367 --> 00:03:12.475
  • And this flow also happens to be, [speaking in tongues],
  • 00:03:12.475 --> 00:03:15.979
  • The agent of god's creation in the earth.
  • 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:23.786
  • I'm just gonna--you just gotta let me be me now.
  • 00:03:23.786 --> 00:03:27.590
  • When we talk about tapping into the word of the lord, it is the
  • 00:03:27.590 --> 00:03:32.528
  • Eternal everlasting precepts of god that has everything that
  • 00:03:32.528 --> 00:03:42.138
  • Was, everything that is, and everything that will be in it.
  • 00:03:42.138 --> 00:03:50.947
  • I call it a flow.
  • 00:03:50.947 --> 00:03:52.448
  • Maybe it's a stream, a stream of divine insight, divine
  • 00:03:52.448 --> 00:03:59.589
  • Intelligence, divine revelation, and knowledge that if we tap
  • 00:03:59.589 --> 00:04:07.063
  • Into it at any moment and we submit to it, we thrive.
  • 00:04:07.063 --> 00:04:15.538
  • I gotta say this.
  • 00:04:15.538 --> 00:04:16.906
  • I gotta--we gotta get this.
  • 00:04:16.906 --> 00:04:18.408
  • We gotta get this.
  • 00:04:18.408 --> 00:04:19.776
  • The word and the word of the lord had not been revealed.
  • 00:04:19.776 --> 00:04:24.614
  • I believe that every believer has to get to the word of
  • 00:04:24.614 --> 00:04:28.985
  • The lord.
  • 00:04:28.985 --> 00:04:31.921
  • How deep can we go tonight?
  • 00:04:31.921 --> 00:04:35.658
  • I think that every believer has to get to the word.
  • 00:04:35.658 --> 00:04:42.098
  • You know, i'm thinking about ezekiel.
  • 00:04:42.098 --> 00:04:43.466
  • Remember the prophet ezekiel?
  • 00:04:43.466 --> 00:04:44.834
  • And it would say: "he was over by the river."
  • 00:04:44.834 --> 00:04:46.202
  • And it said: "and the word of the lord came to him.
  • 00:04:46.202 --> 00:04:50.440
  • The word of the lord came to him."
  • 00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:52.742
  • And he taps into the word.
  • 00:04:52.742 --> 00:04:55.511
  • And he starts speaking and prophesying and decreeing
  • 00:04:55.511 --> 00:04:58.548
  • The word.
  • 00:04:58.548 --> 00:04:59.916
  • I wonder if there are any under the sound of my voice that might
  • 00:04:59.916 --> 00:05:02.452
  • Be in the house of god, might even be serving in the house of
  • 00:05:02.452 --> 00:05:06.356
  • God, but the word of the lord that changes everything.
  • 00:05:06.356 --> 00:05:12.061
  • Let me tell you why the word of the lord is so significant.
  • 00:05:12.061 --> 00:05:20.236
  • It is because your life and my life should be governed by
  • 00:05:20.236 --> 00:05:25.675
  • A prophetic word.
  • 00:05:25.675 --> 00:05:29.112
  • You don't get it, you don't get it, you don't get it tonight.
  • 00:05:29.112 --> 00:05:31.881
  • What word right now--you're living and my living right now
  • 00:05:31.881 --> 00:05:35.451
  • Should not be random.
  • 00:05:35.451 --> 00:05:38.488
  • Your steps and my steps ought to be ordered by a word from
  • 00:05:38.488 --> 00:05:48.097
  • The lord.
  • 00:05:48.097 --> 00:05:49.532
  • The bible says: "the steps of a good man are ordered by
  • 00:05:49.532 --> 00:05:56.706
  • The lord."
  • 00:05:56.706 --> 00:05:58.074
  • So if i'm doing life random without a word, i can easily
  • 00:05:58.074 --> 00:06:03.346
  • Watch this, not have my steps ordered, but be out of order and
  • 00:06:03.346 --> 00:06:06.816
  • Not even know it because there is a divine choreography for
  • 00:06:06.816 --> 00:06:10.219
  • Your life.
  • 00:06:10.219 --> 00:06:13.289
  • And the music is in the word.
  • 00:06:13.289 --> 00:06:15.958
  • The instruction's in the word.
  • 00:06:15.958 --> 00:06:17.760
  • Can i take my time and work--and walk this thing out with you?
  • 00:06:17.760 --> 00:06:23.065
  • We're gonna be better tonight.
  • 00:06:23.065 --> 00:06:26.269
  • We're gonna be better tonight.
  • 00:06:26.269 --> 00:06:29.005
  • We're gonna be deeper tonight.
  • 00:06:29.005 --> 00:06:31.174
  • We're gonna be richer tonight.
  • 00:06:31.174 --> 00:06:33.376
  • We're gonna be more aligned tonight.
  • 00:06:33.376 --> 00:06:34.911
  • And i feel that as god carries you up via revelation and truth
  • 00:06:34.911 --> 00:06:39.415
  • And knowledge some of the things that you're praying about,
  • 00:06:39.415 --> 00:06:42.318
  • You're not even gonna have to pray about that anymore because
  • 00:06:42.318 --> 00:06:44.787
  • You're gonna realize how insignificant these things are.
  • 00:06:44.787 --> 00:06:53.930
  • Can i take my time, walk and talk, teach and preach?
  • 00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:57.400
  • And then we're gonna pray.
  • 00:06:57.400 --> 00:07:00.136
  • The importance of having the word of the lord revealed to
  • 00:07:00.136 --> 00:07:02.738
  • You, number one, is: "it keeps you current in god."
  • 00:07:02.738 --> 00:07:08.177
  • The last place you want to be is where god was.
  • 00:07:08.177 --> 00:07:11.981
  • Hey, oh, we're gonna have fun tonight.
  • 00:07:11.981 --> 00:07:17.220
  • It keeps you current in god.
  • 00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:18.955
  • Let me give you an example.
  • 00:07:18.955 --> 00:07:21.557
  • God tells abraham to slay isaac.
  • 00:07:21.557 --> 00:07:25.261
  • That was in the word of the lord.
  • 00:07:25.261 --> 00:07:28.965
  • Hello?
  • 00:07:28.965 --> 00:07:30.466
  • Abraham obeys.
  • 00:07:30.466 --> 00:07:32.502
  • Abraham gets up to the top of mount moriah.
  • 00:07:32.502 --> 00:07:35.505
  • The word of the lord now says: "stay your hand."
  • 00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:41.544
  • Hey, what if he didn't tap into that word at that time?
  • 00:07:41.544 --> 00:07:47.850
  • He would have killed his future.
  • 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:49.418
  • I feel the holy ghost.
  • 00:07:49.418 --> 00:07:51.120
  • But that's not even the end of it.
  • 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.422
  • Then he says: "go slay that ram."
  • 00:07:53.422 --> 00:07:57.260
  • In that ram was the representation, come on,
  • 00:07:57.260 --> 00:08:00.396
  • Of jesus.
  • 00:08:00.396 --> 00:08:02.331
  • So we had to slay the ram so that there would be a shadow
  • 00:08:02.331 --> 00:08:08.638
  • Of christ.
  • 00:08:08.638 --> 00:08:10.006
  • So what i'm getting at is that's three instructions in this span
  • 00:08:10.006 --> 00:08:14.477
  • Of time.
  • 00:08:14.477 --> 00:08:15.845
  • He had to be connected to the word or he was gonna
  • 00:08:15.845 --> 00:08:18.881
  • Miss something.
  • 00:08:18.881 --> 00:08:20.249
  • He was gonna fumble something, and that's what i'm a little
  • 00:08:20.249 --> 00:08:23.653
  • Afraid of in this season for you that you will be distracted and
  • 00:08:23.653 --> 00:08:29.358
  • Not do what it takes, and we're gonna get into it in a minute,
  • 00:08:29.358 --> 00:08:31.427
  • And not do what it takes to make certain that you have, mm, that
  • 00:08:31.427 --> 00:08:37.300
  • You have access to the word of the lord so that you will know
  • 00:08:37.300 --> 00:08:41.003
  • How to move in this season.
  • 00:08:41.003 --> 00:08:44.440
  • Ain't nothing about you random.
  • 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.776
  • There's nothing about you random.
  • 00:08:46.776 --> 00:08:49.078
  • Your steps are ordered.
  • 00:08:49.078 --> 00:08:50.413
  • I feel that.
  • 00:08:50.413 --> 00:08:51.781
  • God is getting ready to fine tune your choreography, and
  • 00:08:51.781 --> 00:08:55.251
  • You're gonna move different.
  • 00:08:55.251 --> 00:08:56.652
  • I feel the holy ghost.
  • 00:08:56.652 --> 00:08:57.987
  • I feel like a deliverance is gonna happen in this house
  • 00:08:57.987 --> 00:09:00.389
  • Right now.
  • 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:01.724
  • You're about to get a revelation, and you're gonna
  • 00:09:01.724 --> 00:09:03.426
  • Walk out of trouble.
  • 00:09:03.426 --> 00:09:04.860
  • God's getting ready to do something with your walk, and
  • 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:07.997
  • You're going to literally walk out of trouble because the only
  • 00:09:07.997 --> 00:09:12.435
  • Reason why trouble can get you is because your steps aren't
  • 00:09:12.435 --> 00:09:16.272
  • Being ordered.
  • 00:09:16.272 --> 00:09:17.607
  • But when your steps are being ordered, you're gonna start
  • 00:09:17.607 --> 00:09:20.509
  • Walking out of some stuff and into what god has for you.
  • 00:09:20.509 --> 00:09:24.213
  • If that's your word, give god about three seconds of glory
  • 00:09:24.213 --> 00:09:27.750
  • In here right now.
  • 00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:29.118
  • You're about to walk out of some stuff.
  • 00:09:29.118 --> 00:09:33.522
  • The only reason why it's hanging on to you is because you don't
  • 00:09:31.153 --> 00:09:37.326
  • Know who you are, and the word has not been revealed to you.
  • 00:09:37.326 --> 00:09:40.663
  • But you're getting ready to have an encounter with god because
  • 00:09:40.663 --> 00:09:43.566
  • I hear god saying: "the oil is calling you.
  • 00:09:43.566 --> 00:09:46.502
  • The oil is calling you.
  • 00:09:46.502 --> 00:09:48.371
  • My anointing is coming for you.
  • 00:09:48.371 --> 00:09:50.673
  • I'm gonna anoint you in a fresh way, in a new way, and you are
  • 00:09:50.673 --> 00:09:55.544
  • Never gonna be the same again."
  • 00:09:55.544 --> 00:09:58.047
  • You're not gonna call eli anymore.
  • 00:09:58.047 --> 00:10:00.549
  • You're gonna call god almighty, and he's gonna come through and
  • 00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:05.087
  • Show up in your life.
  • 00:10:05.087 --> 00:10:06.989

  • Your fancy.

  • 00:10:35.251 --> 00:10:37.319
  • Some of you are living where god was, and you're wondering why
  • 00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:40.089
  • You're frustrated, and you're wondering why sin is all around
  • 00:10:40.089 --> 00:10:43.659
  • You, and you wonder why it seems like you're going backwards.
  • 00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:47.029
  • In a way, you are going backwards because the word of
  • 00:10:47.029 --> 00:10:49.832
  • The lord will lead you up the mountain.
  • 00:10:49.832 --> 00:10:53.035
  • Oh, i feel god.
  • 00:10:53.035 --> 00:10:54.437
  • It will lead you to ascend the hill of the lord.
  • 00:10:54.437 --> 00:11:00.543
  • Oh, we just getting started.
  • 00:11:00.543 --> 00:11:02.578
  • We just getting started.
  • 00:11:02.578 --> 00:11:04.080
  • I saw what god wants to do.
  • 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.215
  • No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:11:06.215 --> 00:11:08.984
  • I need the word, lord.
  • 00:11:08.984 --> 00:11:10.352
  • I don't need religion.
  • 00:11:10.352 --> 00:11:12.254
  • In my, i don't need religion.
  • 00:11:12.254 --> 00:11:15.491
  • I don't need the word of a man.
  • 00:11:15.491 --> 00:11:17.526
  • I need the word of the lord god.
  • 00:11:17.526 --> 00:11:19.729
  • The word of the lord, watch this, is perfect theology for
  • 00:11:19.729 --> 00:11:24.333
  • Your life.
  • 00:11:24.333 --> 00:11:25.701
  • Come on, somebody. come on, somebody.
  • 00:11:25.701 --> 00:11:30.940
  • For somebody other than abraham, the word of the lord to kill his
  • 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:35.511
  • Son would have been murder, hello?
  • 00:11:35.511 --> 00:11:42.451
  • Thou shalt kill.
  • 00:11:42.451 --> 00:11:43.886
  • No, no, mm-mm, i had a lot of ground to cover, but i feel
  • 00:11:43.886 --> 00:11:50.159
  • Something stirring.
  • 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:51.527
  • Let me take my time.
  • 00:11:51.527 --> 00:11:52.895
  • We're gonna get it all tonight, and then we're gonna pray.
  • 00:11:52.895 --> 00:11:55.631
  • It keeps you current in god.
  • 00:11:55.631 --> 00:11:59.135
  • Now, i wanna say something.
  • 00:11:59.135 --> 00:12:01.904
  • You know i talked about your life ought to always be governed
  • 00:12:01.904 --> 00:12:05.474
  • By a prophetic word, i mean that with all my heart.
  • 00:12:05.474 --> 00:12:09.211
  • That's why god gives you a word.
  • 00:12:09.211 --> 00:12:12.314
  • He gives you a word, so you'll know what to do.
  • 00:12:12.314 --> 00:12:15.618
  • So you know who you are, and you'll know what you have.
  • 00:12:15.618 --> 00:12:20.022
  • Bishop t.d.jakes: good soil is us building us.
  • 00:12:24.026 --> 00:12:30.266
  • Vusi thembekwayo: it's about integration, not competition.
  • 00:12:30.266 --> 00:12:33.202
  • John hope bryant: you are the change makers.
  • 00:12:33.202 --> 00:12:36.138
  • Bishop jakes: we don't have to be monolithic in order to
  • 00:12:36.138 --> 00:12:39.708
  • Be united.
  • 00:12:39.708 --> 00:12:41.076
  • Mellody hobson: we can transform business in america.
  • 00:12:41.076 --> 00:12:43.846
  • Vusi thembekwayo: think, scale.
  • 00:12:43.846 --> 00:12:45.614
  • John hope bryant: it's not a reboot.
  • 00:12:45.614 --> 00:12:46.949
  • It's a reset.
  • 00:12:46.949 --> 00:12:51.854
  • Bishop jakes: all of us have seeds of potential in us.
  • 00:12:51.854 --> 00:12:56.258
  • John hope bryant: you got all the dna for success right inside
  • 00:12:56.258 --> 00:12:58.527
  • Of you.
  • 00:12:58.527 --> 00:12:59.862
  • Janell stephens: i started in my kitchen, actually, yes.
  • 00:12:59.862 --> 00:13:02.431
  • Mellody hobson: i wanna change the idea of what a
  • 00:13:02.431 --> 00:13:04.333
  • Minority business is.
  • 00:13:04.333 --> 00:13:06.001
  • John hope bryant: the world shifted.
  • 00:13:09.471 --> 00:13:12.908
  • Bishop jakes: tomorrow's up for grabs.
  • 00:13:12.908 --> 00:13:15.044
  • Right now is the moment.
  • 00:13:15.044 --> 00:13:19.782
  • This is just the beginning.
  • 00:13:19.782 --> 00:13:23.252
  • Touré roberts: a word doesn't always accomplish what you want.
  • 00:13:27.456 --> 00:13:33.796
  • So, sometimes god gives you a word, and you have your
  • 00:13:33.796 --> 00:13:41.237
  • Interpretation, or your perspective, on what that word
  • 00:13:41.237 --> 00:13:44.874
  • Ought to do, how the word ought to make you feel, and how that
  • 00:13:44.874 --> 00:13:46.809
  • Word ought to turn out, and it's not like that.
  • 00:13:46.809 --> 00:13:50.512
  • Isaiah 55, when it says that "my word will not return to me void,
  • 00:13:50.512 --> 00:13:57.152
  • But it will accomplish that for which i sent it."
  • 00:13:57.152 --> 00:14:01.857
  • So sometimes god sends you a word, and you step out into the
  • 00:14:01.857 --> 00:14:05.160
  • Word, and you get frustrated because your expectation of that
  • 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:07.763
  • Word is disrupted and is disappointed.
  • 00:14:07.763 --> 00:14:12.001
  • But sometimes god sends you a word and the holy purpose, the
  • 00:14:12.001 --> 00:14:15.604
  • Intention of the word, is simply to develop you.
  • 00:14:15.604 --> 00:14:17.773
  • Oh, i got a bunch of stories of that.
  • 00:14:17.773 --> 00:14:23.612
  • God gave me a word: "go here."
  • 00:14:23.612 --> 00:14:26.482
  • And i go there, and because i am so full of, whatever, ambition,
  • 00:14:26.482 --> 00:14:32.988
  • Or so full of, whatever, pride, or whatever it could be.
  • 00:14:32.988 --> 00:14:37.459
  • Then i make a decision about that word.
  • 00:14:37.459 --> 00:14:40.596
  • I bring my own interpretation or my own idea about the intent of
  • 00:14:40.596 --> 00:14:45.701
  • That word.
  • 00:14:45.701 --> 00:14:47.036
  • And my only responsibility was to obey.
  • 00:14:47.036 --> 00:14:50.306
  • Not to control or to manipulate the outcome but to obey.
  • 00:14:50.306 --> 00:14:53.676
  • And i've learned that there is obedience in simply obeying.
  • 00:14:53.676 --> 00:14:58.080
  • There's a blessing and simply being obedient to it.
  • 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.651
  • Sometimes that's the blessing.
  • 00:15:02.651 --> 00:15:04.019
  • I feel this--i gotta break this down.
  • 00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:08.157
  • That's where we get hung up.
  • 00:15:08.157 --> 00:15:10.693
  • God gives us a word, and we think we know what it means.
  • 00:15:10.693 --> 00:15:14.463
  • It's not for you to know what it means, you just need to know
  • 00:15:14.463 --> 00:15:16.832
  • What it says.
  • 00:15:16.832 --> 00:15:20.269
  • Are you hearing me?
  • 00:15:20.269 --> 00:15:22.304
  • That's how you just know what it says and do it.
  • 00:15:22.304 --> 00:15:26.108
  • Watch this.
  • 00:15:26.108 --> 00:15:27.476
  • Success is not in the outcome.
  • 00:15:27.476 --> 00:15:29.011
  • Success is in you doing it.
  • 00:15:29.011 --> 00:15:31.380
  • Oh, so--that's worth a million dollars.
  • 00:15:31.380 --> 00:15:35.050
  • And in god's wisdom, god knows, watch this, how to prosper you
  • 00:15:35.050 --> 00:15:41.924
  • Better than you know how to prosper you.
  • 00:15:41.924 --> 00:15:44.326
  • Because one of the things that i've learned about god and
  • 00:15:44.326 --> 00:15:46.395
  • Prosperity is, when god prospers you, he prospers you.
  • 00:15:46.395 --> 00:15:52.835
  • And i've learned that if you prosper, we've talked about this
  • 00:15:52.835 --> 00:15:55.404
  • Before, if you prosper, you'll prosper.
  • 00:15:55.404 --> 00:15:59.908
  • I don't want to prosper and not prosper.
  • 00:15:59.908 --> 00:16:03.545
  • Because if i prosper and not prosper, i didn't prosper.
  • 00:16:03.545 --> 00:16:09.752
  • You understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:09.752 --> 00:16:12.988
  • If i increase and don't increase, i did not increase or
  • 00:16:12.988 --> 00:16:20.062
  • It might have looked like i increased, but that increase
  • 00:16:20.062 --> 00:16:22.765
  • Will ultimately become my decrease because i didn't
  • 00:16:22.765 --> 00:16:26.468
  • Increase internally first.
  • 00:16:26.468 --> 00:16:28.771
  • So sometimes god gives you a word to increase you, and it
  • 00:16:28.771 --> 00:16:33.575
  • Doesn't look like what you thought it would look like.
  • 00:16:33.575 --> 00:16:36.245
  • And you get frustrated, but you have to trust the principle
  • 00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:39.748
  • Of increase.
  • 00:16:39.748 --> 00:16:41.083
  • I will take root downward first and then i will bear
  • 00:16:41.083 --> 00:16:44.653
  • Fruit upwards.
  • 00:16:44.653 --> 00:16:47.856
  • That was the path of jesus.
  • 00:16:47.856 --> 00:16:50.259
  • Just turn to your neighbor and say, down is the way up.
  • 00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:55.197
  • Now, we gotta move.
  • 00:16:55.197 --> 00:16:57.132
  • Now, we talked about samuel being the great prophet, and he
  • 00:16:57.132 --> 00:17:01.370
  • Was the great prophet, but samuel is not the hero
  • 00:17:01.370 --> 00:17:04.640
  • In this text.
  • 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.743
  • Sammy is not the hero on this text.
  • 00:17:07.743 --> 00:17:10.612
  • The hero in this text is an unusual suspect.
  • 00:17:10.612 --> 00:17:15.217
  • The hero in this text is eli.
  • 00:17:15.217 --> 00:17:19.888
  • I know we like to talk about eli, and eli didn't have the
  • 00:17:19.888 --> 00:17:22.658
  • Guts to stand up to his sons, and he didn't have the guts to
  • 00:17:22.658 --> 00:17:26.395
  • Shut things down, and eli didn't have this and all this kind of
  • 00:17:26.395 --> 00:17:29.231
  • Stuff, but so what happens is we focus on eli's faults, but we
  • 00:17:29.231 --> 00:17:34.369
  • Don't look at how he finished.
  • 00:17:34.369 --> 00:17:39.842
  • Eli is the hero in the story.
  • 00:17:39.842 --> 00:17:44.680
  • I have a great deal of admiration for eli, i do,
  • 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:49.451
  • Because he did, arguably, one of the most powerful
  • 00:17:49.451 --> 00:17:54.289
  • Things in scripture.
  • 00:17:54.289 --> 00:17:56.925
  • This is fun.
  • 00:17:56.925 --> 00:17:58.727
  • Arguably he was, perhaps this one act.
  • 00:17:58.727 --> 00:18:06.001
  • Might have might have been one of the most powerful things that
  • 00:18:06.001 --> 00:18:09.271
  • Any servant of god has ever done.
  • 00:18:09.271 --> 00:18:13.075
  • He led samuel to the word of the lord.
  • 00:18:13.075 --> 00:18:19.214
  • He led him to the voice of god.
  • 00:18:19.214 --> 00:18:22.651
  • Who's greater, the king or the kingmaker?
  • 00:18:22.651 --> 00:18:30.792
  • A king who doesn't make kings is not a great king, hey.
  • 00:18:30.792 --> 00:18:36.265
  • Jesus was the king of kings, and everybody in here is called
  • 00:18:36.265 --> 00:18:39.401
  • A king and a priest.
  • 00:18:39.401 --> 00:18:41.870
  • We're literally a kingdom of priests.
  • 00:18:41.870 --> 00:18:45.240
  • Eli could have been real tricky.
  • 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.111
  • Give me about 15 minutes, i'm gonna tie this up.
  • 00:18:49.111 --> 00:18:50.913
  • Eli could have been real tricky.
  • 00:18:50.913 --> 00:18:53.448
  • Homeboy knew he was on his way out.
  • 00:18:53.448 --> 00:18:58.020
  • If you studied the whole chapter, just read the whole
  • 00:18:58.020 --> 00:19:00.722
  • Bible, you'll find this.
  • 00:19:00.722 --> 00:19:02.090
  • He knew he was on his way out.
  • 00:19:02.090 --> 00:19:03.458
  • God told him, a word came to him, and told him, "hey man,
  • 00:19:03.458 --> 00:19:05.527
  • Because you didn't discipline your sons, you're out, bro."
  • 00:19:05.527 --> 00:19:10.232
  • And, watch this, and instead of god calling him, god starts
  • 00:19:10.232 --> 00:19:16.872
  • Calling his servant.
  • 00:19:16.872 --> 00:19:20.142
  • Things could have gotten real tricky right up in there.
  • 00:19:20.142 --> 00:19:25.080
  • Eli, samuel, running to eli talking about: "you called me."
  • 00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:31.687
  • "no, i didn't."
  • 00:19:31.687 --> 00:19:33.689
  • "you called me."
  • 00:19:33.689 --> 00:19:35.023
  • "no, i didn't."
  • 00:19:35.023 --> 00:19:36.358
  • Uh-oh.
  • 00:19:36.358 --> 00:19:38.093
  • It says: "he perceived the lord called him."
  • 00:19:38.093 --> 00:19:40.229
  • This is where, if he didn't have character, come on, if he didn't
  • 00:19:40.229 --> 00:19:46.301
  • Have character, if he wasn't a true man of god, he would have
  • 00:19:46.301 --> 00:19:51.073
  • Allowed jealousy--see, he wasn't wicked.
  • 00:19:51.073 --> 00:19:57.179
  • He wasn't wicked.
  • 00:19:57.179 --> 00:19:58.981
  • He had a fault, but he wasn't wicked.
  • 00:19:58.981 --> 00:20:02.985
  • No, he doesn't player hate on--oh, can i say that,
  • 00:20:02.985 --> 00:20:06.521
  • Player hate?
  • 00:20:06.521 --> 00:20:07.889
  • That might be a california thing.
  • 00:20:07.889 --> 00:20:09.258
  • Y'all don't know. okay, i'm from l.a.
  • 00:20:09.258 --> 00:20:10.926
  • I'm sorry, man.
  • 00:20:10.926 --> 00:20:13.295
  • I can get used to it because--but we say player hate.
  • 00:20:13.295 --> 00:20:14.896
  • That was before haters.
  • 00:20:14.896 --> 00:20:16.231
  • Haters is a new thing now.
  • 00:20:16.231 --> 00:20:17.566
  • Before haters, it was called player haters.
  • 00:20:17.566 --> 00:20:18.900
  • Don't hate the play, hate the game.
  • 00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:20.235
  • Y'all don't know, no, you--okay, a few of y'all, like, you don't
  • 00:20:20.235 --> 00:20:22.504
  • Wanna tell your age.
  • 00:20:22.504 --> 00:20:23.872
  • That's all right.
  • 00:20:23.872 --> 00:20:25.240
  • He could've hated on him, but he doesn't.
  • 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.877
  • He says: "oh, my god."
  • 00:20:28.877 --> 00:20:30.679
  • He said: "god is calling you.
  • 00:20:30.679 --> 00:20:33.148
  • So he affirms the fact that god is calling him.
  • 00:20:33.148 --> 00:20:37.219
  • And then, watch this, he tells him what to do to access
  • 00:20:37.219 --> 00:20:42.424
  • The flow.
  • 00:20:42.424 --> 00:20:47.629
  • That's crazy integrity.
  • 00:20:47.629 --> 00:20:50.932
  • So what does he tell them to do?
  • 00:20:50.932 --> 00:20:52.267
  • Stay with me because this is what we're gonna do to go to
  • 00:20:52.267 --> 00:20:54.569
  • Another level in accessing the word of the lord.
  • 00:20:54.569 --> 00:20:59.641
  • Man, if i told you what i see, it'd drive you crazy.
  • 00:20:59.641 --> 00:21:03.578
  • For some of you, tonight is gonna be the difference.
  • 00:21:03.578 --> 00:21:09.284
  • For some of you, i feel it so strongly, you're watching via
  • 00:21:09.284 --> 00:21:12.321
  • Live stream, and i'm trying to steward this moment properly.
  • 00:21:12.321 --> 00:21:16.892
  • Tonight is gonna be the difference.
  • 00:21:16.892 --> 00:21:18.493
  • The same way it was the difference in samuel's life,
  • 00:21:18.493 --> 00:21:24.533
  • It's gonna be the difference in your life.
  • 00:21:24.533 --> 00:21:28.303
  • There have been things, here it is, there have been things that
  • 00:21:28.303 --> 00:21:31.940
  • Felt disconnected in your life.
  • 00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:34.076
  • You have even felt disconnected.
  • 00:21:34.076 --> 00:21:36.111
  • You have felt like a gulf between you and you.
  • 00:21:36.111 --> 00:21:42.918
  • You have felt, not plugged in, and you can't really tell
  • 00:21:42.918 --> 00:21:48.657
  • Anybody because this is in the reality of your soul.
  • 00:21:48.657 --> 00:21:52.260
  • Watch this, you know you are more than who you are showing
  • 00:21:52.260 --> 00:21:55.664
  • Up as.
  • 00:21:55.664 --> 00:21:57.666
  • And you're trying to hide amongst normal people--oh,
  • 00:21:57.666 --> 00:22:00.936
  • I feel the lord, you're trying to hide amongst regular,
  • 00:22:00.936 --> 00:22:04.706
  • Ordinary people, you know, and all that kind of stuff, and god
  • 00:22:04.706 --> 00:22:06.875
  • Bless everybody.
  • 00:22:06.875 --> 00:22:08.243
  • You're trying to hide among the stuff because the stuff doesn't
  • 00:22:08.243 --> 00:22:12.781
  • Call you out.
  • 00:22:12.781 --> 00:22:14.182
  • But god sent my bald-headed self here to call you out because
  • 00:22:14.182 --> 00:22:19.121
  • There's more to you than what you are showing up as.
  • 00:22:19.121 --> 00:22:23.258
  • And even as god kept saying: "samuel," and then he said his
  • 00:22:23.258 --> 00:22:28.029
  • Name twice, "samuel, samuel," god is calling you, the oil is
  • 00:22:28.029 --> 00:22:33.535
  • Calling you.
  • 00:22:33.535 --> 00:22:34.903
  • It is inviting you to a new flow.
  • 00:22:34.903 --> 00:22:39.408
  • I feel it.
  • 00:22:39.408 --> 00:22:40.809
  • You're getting ready to come into a new flow, and it's gonna

  • Be real.
  • 00:22:43.945 --> 00:22:45.313
  • And this is not a cute church flow.
  • 00:22:45.313 --> 00:22:46.882
  • This is a holy ghost flow.
  • 00:22:46.882 --> 00:22:49.117
  • It is a holy flow.
  • 00:22:49.117 --> 00:22:50.852
  • It is a powerful flow.
  • 00:22:50.852 --> 00:22:52.754
  • It's a flow of wisdom.
  • 00:22:52.754 --> 00:22:54.523
  • It's a flow of revelation.
  • 00:22:54.523 --> 00:22:56.291
  • It's a flow of power.
  • 00:22:56.291 --> 00:22:57.859
  • It's a flow of favor.
  • 00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:59.528

  • I feel it.
  • 00:23:14.976 --> 00:23:16.311
  • Your life is gonna change.
  • 00:23:16.311 --> 00:23:18.713
  • Can't you see what's happening in our church?
  • 00:23:18.713 --> 00:23:22.651
  • Breakthrough is happening every single week.
  • 00:23:22.651 --> 00:23:26.421
  • Can't you see the glory of god hovering over the
  • 00:23:26.421 --> 00:23:30.325
  • Potter's house?
  • 00:23:30.325 --> 00:23:31.693
  • Can't you see glory week-in and week-out?
  • 00:23:31.693 --> 00:23:35.197
  • It's shaking things up.
  • 00:23:35.197 --> 00:23:36.898
  • It's stirring devils and demons.
  • 00:23:36.898 --> 00:23:39.100
  • It has to happen.
  • 00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:40.669
  • It must happen.
  • 00:23:40.669 --> 00:23:42.270

  • And by golly, it's gonna happen to me.
  • 00:23:43.738 --> 00:23:46.942
  • If that's your testimony, give god a roar in this house.
  • 00:23:46.942 --> 00:23:53.148
  • It's gonna happen to me.
  • 00:23:53.148 --> 00:23:55.050
  • I'm not gonna miss out.
  • 00:23:55.050 --> 00:23:57.052

  • We had some hunger stirred up here on sunday.
  • 00:24:12.167 --> 00:24:15.871
  • I'm looking for that same hunger because the oil is attracted to

  • 00:26:07.248 --> 00:26:11.052
  • And the left, we talk about the faith that they went down into
  • 00:26:11.052 --> 00:26:15.390
  • The dry bed with, but we don't talk about the fear.
  • 00:26:15.390 --> 00:26:19.027
  • The real art to life is not to be controlled by the feeling of
  • 00:26:19.027 --> 00:26:23.999

  • 00:26:23.999 --> 00:26:28.837
