Bishop t.d. jakes: this is my year to be bold.

You might not like me 'cause i'm bold.

You might call me arrogant because i'm bold.

Bold about it.
00:00:35.051 --> 00:00:36.920
I prophesy to somebody in this room that the thing that you

Bishop jakes: the bible says that the house of saul grew
00:00:53.236 --> 00:00:59.742
Weaker and weaker.
00:00:59.742 --> 00:01:02.745
Now, you will remember saul was king over israel.
00:01:02.745 --> 00:01:06.649
And he got jealous of david because of david's anointing.
00:01:06.649 --> 00:01:10.887
That he tried to kill david over and over again.
00:01:10.887 --> 00:01:15.158
And even when david had the upper hand, he refused to kill
00:01:15.158 --> 00:01:18.962
Saul, not because he wouldn't kill.
00:01:18.962 --> 00:01:22.732
'cause he killed many men, but he wouldn't kill saul because
00:01:22.732 --> 00:01:26.836
Saul was anointed.
00:01:26.836 --> 00:01:29.272
He didn't respect saul, but he respected the anointing.
00:01:29.272 --> 00:01:33.643
And people who respect the anointing will back off because
00:01:33.643 --> 00:01:38.014
If you fool with the anointing, you have fooled with god.
00:01:38.014 --> 00:01:44.220
And so, the reason the house of saul is growing weaker is
00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:47.857
Because the lord has forsaken him.
00:01:47.857 --> 00:01:51.261
And the bible said, "the house of saul grew weaker."
00:01:51.261 --> 00:01:56.799
That means it wasn't instantaneously, but little by
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.070
Little there was a deterioration of the army and the strength
00:02:01.070 --> 00:02:04.440
And the power and the finances and the resources of saul.
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:08.845
It happened gradually.
00:02:08.845 --> 00:02:10.513
Somebody say, "it happened gradually."
00:02:10.513 --> 00:02:13.016
The house of saul grew weaker and weaker, and the house of
00:02:13.016 --> 00:02:17.253
David grew stronger and stronger.
00:02:17.253 --> 00:02:22.692
I'm wondering if there's anybody in here that can feel
00:02:22.692 --> 00:02:25.929
Yourself growing.
00:02:25.929 --> 00:02:29.465
You know you're not the same woman you used to be.
00:02:29.465 --> 00:02:33.002
You know you're not the same preacher that you used to be.
00:02:33.002 --> 00:02:36.339
You know you're not the same person that you used to be
00:02:36.339 --> 00:02:39.576
Because the things that used to drive you crazy don't bother you
00:02:39.576 --> 00:02:43.112
Anymore, because you're growing stronger and stronger.
00:02:43.112 --> 00:02:48.084
Look at somebody and say, "i'm stronger."
00:02:48.084 --> 00:02:51.454
Yeah, yeah, if you were gonna get me, you should have got me
00:02:51.454 --> 00:02:54.224
When i was weaker, but i'm stronger now, i'm wiser now.
00:02:54.224 --> 00:03:00.730
I've got more fortitude.
00:03:00.730 --> 00:03:03.333
I've got more tenacity now.
00:03:03.333 --> 00:03:06.102
And so, there is a transfer going on between these two
00:03:06.102 --> 00:03:10.440
Leaders, saul and david.
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:13.876
And saul is getting weaker because god has rejected him.
00:03:13.876 --> 00:03:19.649
And david is getting stronger because god has chosen him.
00:03:19.649 --> 00:03:25.555
And if god chooses you, i don't care how many javelins get
00:03:25.555 --> 00:03:30.727
Thrown at you, if god chooses you, you will
00:03:30.727 --> 00:03:35.398
Ultimately prevail.
00:03:35.398 --> 00:03:38.234
I wish i had a thousand chosen people.
00:03:38.234 --> 00:03:44.907
Yeah, yeah, stop introducing yourself and saying, "my name is
00:03:44.907 --> 00:03:49.412
Clara," and, "my name is sarah," and "my name is mary," and,
00:03:49.412 --> 00:03:53.082
"hello, i'm john," and, "i'm richard," and "i--" just walk up
00:03:53.082 --> 00:03:56.753
To somebody and say, "i'm stronger."
00:03:56.753 --> 00:04:00.023
Yeah, yeah, when you say stronger, you're talking about
00:04:00.023 --> 00:04:02.659
Me, i'm stronger.
00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.594
I got stronger through resistance training.
00:04:04.594 --> 00:04:09.032
I got stronger through warfare.
00:04:09.032 --> 00:04:11.701
I got stronger through conflict.
00:04:11.701 --> 00:04:14.404
I got stronger through adversity.
00:04:14.404 --> 00:04:17.140
I didn't get here on a flowery bed of ease, i got stronger in
00:04:17.140 --> 00:04:21.377
The struggle.
00:04:21.377 --> 00:04:22.945
While i was crying, i was getting stronger.
00:04:22.945 --> 00:04:26.349
While i was trembling, i was getting stronger.
00:04:26.349 --> 00:04:29.752
While i was frustrated, i was getting stronger.
00:04:29.752 --> 00:04:33.156
While i was full of doubt, i was getting stronger.
00:04:33.156 --> 00:04:37.026
I know it doesn't make any sense how you could have doubt and
00:04:37.026 --> 00:04:40.330
Still get stronger.
00:04:40.330 --> 00:04:41.998
But see, i had doubt and kept going anyway.
00:04:41.998 --> 00:04:46.002
And anytime you have doubt and keep going anyway, you
00:04:46.002 --> 00:04:51.274
Get stronger.
00:04:51.274 --> 00:04:53.509
I need a hundred strong people that will praise god now.

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:27.677
Season isn't always easy.
00:05:27.677 --> 00:05:31.848
It gets tough.
00:05:31.848 --> 00:05:33.783
It gets difficult.
00:05:33.783 --> 00:05:35.618
And this is a tough moment in the life of david.
00:05:35.618 --> 00:05:39.422
David has lost other--his friend in the process of
00:05:39.422 --> 00:05:43.726
Getting stronger.
00:05:43.726 --> 00:05:45.595
His grief does not negate the fact that he is
00:05:45.595 --> 00:05:49.065
Getting stronger.
00:05:49.065 --> 00:05:51.300
His displeasure with jehovah does not negate the fact that he
00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:56.038
Is getting stronger.
00:05:56.038 --> 00:05:58.174
He has parked the ark of the covenant into the house
00:05:58.174 --> 00:06:00.910
Of obed-edom.
00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:02.812
Obed-edom is a gittite.
00:06:02.812 --> 00:06:06.015
He's not even an israelite, he's a gittite.
00:06:06.015 --> 00:06:09.685
But he has converted over to god and god rested in the house of
00:06:09.685 --> 00:06:15.158
Obed-edom.
00:06:15.158 --> 00:06:17.093
Have you ever had god rest on you?
00:06:17.093 --> 00:06:21.864
You hit a season where everything you touch, god just
00:06:21.864 --> 00:06:27.270
Blessed it.
00:06:27.270 --> 00:06:29.105
Everything you went after, god just did it.
00:06:29.105 --> 00:06:33.209
Every mountain you had to climb, god just blessed you.
00:06:33.209 --> 00:06:37.980
For three months, the bible said, that the house of
00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:41.818
Obed-edom was blessed just because he kept god.
00:06:41.818 --> 00:06:51.627
If i was old school, i'd start singing, "take the lord god with
00:06:51.627 --> 00:06:55.131
You everywhere you go."
00:06:55.131 --> 00:07:01.671
Obed-edom got blessed.
00:07:01.671 --> 00:07:04.407
When you read the midrash, you will later find out that
00:07:04.407 --> 00:07:07.343
Obed-edom continued to walk with the ark of the covenant even
00:07:07.343 --> 00:07:11.214
When it left his house.
00:07:11.214 --> 00:07:13.349
He started following the ark of the covenant and joined in and
00:07:13.349 --> 00:07:18.521
Started serving the lord all the way up to being a gatekeeper at
00:07:18.521 --> 00:07:23.192
Solomon's temple.
00:07:23.192 --> 00:07:25.194
Solomon is david's son.
00:07:25.194 --> 00:07:27.797
So, for an entire generation, obed-edom said, "if you're gonna
00:07:27.797 --> 00:07:32.935
Take the glory, i'm going with the glory."
00:07:32.935 --> 00:07:38.407
I said, "i'm going with the glory.
00:07:38.407 --> 00:07:41.744
If it's not gonna stay in my house, i guess i gotta move
00:07:41.744 --> 00:07:45.515
'cause i'm going with the glory."
00:07:45.515 --> 00:07:47.850
I don't choose my church by stained glass windows.
00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:51.821
I don't choose my church by how nice the pews are.
00:07:51.821 --> 00:07:55.558
I choose my church by the glory.
00:07:55.558 --> 00:07:59.028
As long as i see glory in the house, i will move, i will
00:07:59.028 --> 00:08:05.167
Shout, i will pack up, i will do whatever i gotta do 'cause i'm
00:08:05.167 --> 00:08:10.306
Not into the building, and i'm not into the preacher, i'm into
00:08:10.306 --> 00:08:15.311
The glory.
00:08:15.311 --> 00:08:16.646
"for where the spirit of the lord is, there is liberty."
00:08:16.646 --> 00:08:23.319
Is there anybody liberated in here?
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.222
Is there anybody emancipated in here?
00:08:26.222 --> 00:08:29.525
Is there anybody in here that can speak your mind?
00:08:29.525 --> 00:08:33.129
Is there anybody in here that can praise god without music?
00:08:33.129 --> 00:08:37.400
Is there anybody in here that can glorify god, even if it's
00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:41.370
Getting on other people's nerves?
00:08:41.370 --> 00:08:44.206
But you're strong enough now that come hell or high water, i
00:08:44.206 --> 00:08:49.946
Will bless the lord at all times.
00:08:49.946 --> 00:08:53.015
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
00:08:53.015 --> 00:08:56.319
I know you want me to shut up, i know you think i'm too loud, i
00:08:56.319 --> 00:09:01.357
Know you think i'm too rowdy, but i'm not talking to you, i'm
00:09:01.357 --> 00:09:06.796
Talking to god.
00:09:06.796 --> 00:09:09.131
And when i get ready to talk to god, you can roll your eyes, you
00:09:09.131 --> 00:09:15.204
Can write notes, but i'm gonna give god the praise.

[congregation cheering]
00:09:20.009 --> 00:09:27.750
And it occurred to me that this text really is all about power,
00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:34.857
It's about patience, and it's about praise.
00:09:34.857 --> 00:09:39.862
It's about what?
00:09:39.862 --> 00:09:41.364
Congregation: power, patience, praise.
00:09:41.364 --> 00:09:45.001
Bishop jakes: say it again, it's about--
00:09:45.001 --> 00:09:46.602
Congregation: power, patience, praise.
00:09:46.602 --> 00:09:50.306
Bishop jakes: say it again.
00:09:50.306 --> 00:09:51.641
Congregation: power, patience, praise.
00:09:51.641 --> 00:09:56.345
Bishop jakes: it's gonna be about power and praise.
00:09:56.345 --> 00:10:01.984
And i want you to get this whether you're online or in the
00:10:01.984 --> 00:10:04.620
Building, the things that god is going to anoint you to break
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:08.491
Loose aren't gonna break loose just because you want
00:10:08.491 --> 00:10:11.694
Them loose.
00:10:11.694 --> 00:10:13.029
You're going to need this recipe to break it loose.
00:10:13.029 --> 00:10:16.532
It's about--
00:10:16.532 --> 00:10:17.867
Congregation: power, patience, praise.
00:10:17.867 --> 00:10:21.504
Bishop jakes: oh, y'all getting it now.
00:10:21.504 --> 00:10:22.838
Now, i want you to understand power, first of all.
00:10:22.838 --> 00:10:26.575
I want you to understand the difference between powers.
00:10:26.575 --> 00:10:31.914
The word power in the bible is translated from two different
00:10:31.914 --> 00:10:36.752
Words, "exousia" in the greek and "dunamis."
00:10:36.752 --> 00:10:42.558
They have close to the same meaning, but they are not the
00:10:42.558 --> 00:10:46.462
Same thing.
00:10:46.462 --> 00:10:48.564
Jesus says, "you shall receive power after that the holy ghost
00:10:48.564 --> 00:10:54.937
Has come upon you."
00:10:54.937 --> 00:10:56.605
That word is "dunamis."
00:10:56.605 --> 00:10:58.474
Are you hearing what i'm saying?
00:10:58.474 --> 00:11:00.409
The bible said that--when he said, "all power in heaven and
00:11:00.409 --> 00:11:05.114
In earth is given unto me," that word is "exousia."
00:11:05.114 --> 00:11:10.352
The difference between exousia and dunamis, where we get
00:11:10.352 --> 00:11:15.257
Dynamite, is this: exousia is authority,
00:11:15.257 --> 00:11:25.301
Dunamis is power.
00:11:26.168 --> 00:11:28.838
Let me break this down.
00:11:28.838 --> 00:11:31.240
Two o'clock in the morning, the police come knocking at the
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.210
Door, bom-bom-bom-bom-bom.
00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:36.178
They knock on the door.
00:11:36.178 --> 00:11:37.980
You look through the peephole and you see the badge,
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:42.084
That's exousia.
00:11:42.084 --> 00:11:44.286
Look a little lower.
00:11:44.286 --> 00:11:51.594
That thing hanging off his belt is dunamis.
00:11:51.594 --> 00:11:56.599
You got to have both.
00:11:56.599 --> 00:11:59.735
You've got to have the authority, the badge, the right.
00:11:59.735 --> 00:12:05.808
And then if it don't break loose, you gotta have the
00:12:05.808 --> 00:12:08.277
Dunamis, the dynamite, to break it loose.
00:12:08.277 --> 00:12:13.449
God gave you the holy ghost so that you would have dynamite for
00:12:13.449 --> 00:12:20.623
The breaking of strongholds, "casting down imaginations and
00:12:20.623 --> 00:12:26.662
Every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge
00:12:26.662 --> 00:12:29.665
Of god."
00:12:29.665 --> 00:12:31.267
If you have exousia and dunamis, shout, "i got power."

Bishop jakes: let's lift our gifts up before the lord.
00:12:44.013 --> 00:12:46.982
And this time when we lift our gifts up before the lord, let us
00:12:46.982 --> 00:12:50.820
Consider that it might not be demons.
00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:58.127
It might not be warlocks and witches that's stopping us
00:12:58.127 --> 00:13:02.231
From abundance.
00:13:02.231 --> 00:13:04.033
It might not even be bigotry that's stopping us
00:13:04.033 --> 00:13:07.369
From abundance.
00:13:07.369 --> 00:13:09.371
The enemy might be in me.
00:13:09.371 --> 00:13:14.777
So, as i lift my tithe and my offering up before you, search
00:13:14.777 --> 00:13:20.115
My heart and know my ways, and if you find any wicked way, any

Inproductive way, any toxicity in the way that i am living my

Life, i wanna be safe enough for you to bless.
00:13:32.494 --> 00:13:39.134

Bishop jakes: but do not be deceived, my brothers and

Sisters, you also gonna need some patience,
00:14:55.911 --> 00:15:01.884
Because there are some things that only break loose through
00:15:01.884 --> 00:15:07.222
Much prayer and fasting.
00:15:07.222 --> 00:15:11.427
You remember the man that brought his son to jesus and

Said, "often he falls into the water and often he falls into

These strongholds that are passed down through generations,

You might not like me 'cause i'm bold.
00:22:06.575 --> 00:22:09.611
You might call me arrogant because i'm bold.
00:22:09.611 --> 00:22:13.081
You might get an attitude because i'm bold, but for what
00:22:13.081 --> 00:22:16.685

Bold about it.
00:22:22.290 --> 00:22:24.126
I prophesy to somebody in this room that the thing that you

Think is stuck is gonna break loose if you get bold about it.
00:22:28.397 --> 00:22:33.969
Who am i talking to?

The devil is trying to make you give up, but the devil is
00:22:37.272 --> 00:22:41.543

00:22:41.543 --> 00:22:43.345
"cast not away therefore your boldness in which there is great
00:22:43.345 --> 00:22:48.016
Recompense of reward."
00:22:48.016 --> 00:22:50.352
The recompense means god's gonna pay you just 'cause you're bold,
00:22:50.352 --> 00:22:56.124
Just 'cause you walked in the door, just 'cause you said yes
00:22:56.124 --> 00:23:00.362
When other people said no,
00:23:00.362 --> 00:23:02.597
Just because you went after it,
00:23:02.597 --> 00:23:05.100

Ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of god, ye

00:24:17.038 --> 00:24:20.442
Open your mouth, open your mouth, open your mouth and give

Praise him for the power.
00:24:30.151 --> 00:24:33.221
Praise him for the patience.
00:24:33.221 --> 00:24:35.857
So the bible said, "after david had had patience for three
00:24:35.857 --> 00:24:42.230
Months," power to get it from the philistines, patience to
00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:48.303
Leave it in the house of obed-edom.
00:24:48.303 --> 00:24:50.839
When he finally got it back, the bible said that david started
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:57.546
Praising god.
00:24:57.546 --> 00:24:59.948
I mean, the moment he got the glory back, he started
00:24:59.948 --> 00:25:04.419
Praising god.
00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:06.521
That's why he wrote the scripture, "he inhabits the
00:25:06.521 --> 00:25:10.158
Praises of his people."
00:25:10.158 --> 00:25:12.761
If you want god to rest on your back, all you got to do is be
00:25:12.761 --> 00:25:17.532
A praiser.
00:25:17.532 --> 00:25:19.367
The reason that uzzah died is that he touched god
00:25:19.367 --> 00:25:25.340
Without praise.
00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:27.142
And if you touch god without praise, you'll die.
00:25:27.142 --> 00:25:31.880
But if you enter into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.284
With praise, god will make a way out of no way.
00:25:36.284 --> 00:25:41.056
I don't even like to sit beside people that won't praise the
00:25:41.056 --> 00:25:45.427
Lord, 'cause i don't want that dead spirit of uzzah to
00:25:45.427 --> 00:25:50.365
Follow me.
00:25:50.365 --> 00:25:52.767
I need to sit beside somebody that knows how to give god
00:25:52.767 --> 00:25:57.439
The praise so that when the glory is moving in the church,
00:25:57.439 --> 00:26:02.377
It will not pass over me.
00:26:02.377 --> 00:26:05.280
I wanna sit with somebody that will open their mouth and give
00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:11.119
God the glory.
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.454
I'm gonna do a praise check, hallelujah.
00:26:12.454 --> 00:26:18.627
Look up and down your row.
00:26:18.627 --> 00:26:21.029
If they're not praising god, move, 'cause this is your year
00:26:21.029 --> 00:26:26.568
To open your mouth and give god the glory, and give him the
00:26:26.568 --> 00:26:32.574
Praise 'cause there's one thing that's everything.
00:26:32.574 --> 00:26:37.746
All i want is the glory.
00:26:37.746 --> 00:26:40.548
If i got the glory, the door's gonna open.
00:26:40.548 --> 00:26:44.786
If i got the glory, the mountain's gonna move.
00:26:44.786 --> 00:26:48.857
If i got the glory, the yoke will be broken.
00:26:48.857 --> 00:26:53.695
Oh, god, give us your glory.
00:26:53.695 --> 00:26:57.399
And the only way to get the glory to rest on your shoulders
00:26:57.399 --> 00:27:02.470
Is to give him the praise.
00:27:02.470 --> 00:27:05.473
