Chain Breaker | Bishop T.D. Jakes | Elevation Church

What I want to say in every place and I want to make sure I say it is that the greatest communicator on planet Earth is about to stand in this pulpit and present the Word of God. Thank you Bishop for being my true north, thank you for being my friend, thank you for being a pioneer, thank you for being an example. Preach this word before you turn 40. Elevation Church welcome the one and only, Bishop T.D. Jakes! What's up everyone! If you love Jesus, shout out! Sit down, sit down. You have to have energy to go to this

church

.

I have to take Geritol and vitamin D and C and E and F and smear my knees and everything to fool them all. You all are loud. Any troublemakers for Jesus in this place? Wow. Well, thank you for allowing me to be here on your birthday and on the 14th anniversary of the

church

, we celebrate you, my lovely wife celebrates you. Get up, baby, show them I did it right. You are the best grandmother I have ever seen in my life. Five children, nine grandchildren and still looking good. You can still twerk for the Lord, praise God.

Look, that spirit that was on you jumped on me; I... I kicked him out. I'm going to do something in the third service that we couldn't do in the first service and this is just part of my way of celebrating that your pastor texts me at least twice a week and if I preach something really good, he calls me ; That's my barometer, there are levels. If he doesn't call or text me, I go into depression. I think I completely failed God. He missed about three weeks. I said, "What's wrong? Call me! Say something!" We love you.

It is not a stage love, it is not a love in front of people, it is a deep and lasting love. Much of your story is like mine. Did you come from a small town in rural Moncks Creek? It should be Moncks Creek; Moncks Corner. And left Moncks Corner toward Charlotte. I grew up in Charleston, West by God Virginia. You have to say "jeez" there or you won't be a true West Virginian. “Take me down the home country road to where I belong, West Virginia Mountain Mom, take me down the home country road” I just had to authenticate that I am a true West Virginian.

When you know all the words to that song, you're from West Virginia. And God sent me to Dallas, Texas, in my head that everything that happened in my life happened in my life and I identify with you in many ways and I was trying to think of something to commemorate because he always gives me all these interesting things. Shoes and I have big feet, you know? So he got me the shoes and then he called me and asked me if he had all his fingers in them. So I started getting you some cool shoes, but I wasn't sure you could fit all your toes in them.

But I do want to give you a presentation that I thought he reminded me of you and this is part of my birthday gift to you. And I hope the right thing is down here, because I... This is a big faith because I couldn't prove it, so if I reveal it and it's wrong, I'll cover it for the first time. In my entire life I'm going to turn red, okay? Because you, when you were very young, did such amazing things that shook the world that transcended denominations, culture, ethnicities, origins, politics and generational ideologies. They shook the world in such a powerful way when Thinking about the characters in the Bible I thought about David I think you're a giant killer And so I asked them to get this bronze statue so that you could put it somewhere in your life, which every time You may encounter something big or feel inadequate or wonder what you can do.

I have brought this David to remind you that the head of the giant is under your feet. And this is my sermon to you. Come closer, you've been coming closer while I preached. Look, I paid a lot of money for this, I want you to get the shock that everything that roared against you is beneath you and your sword grew and you were good and every time you think about it I want you to tell the Lord. to bless me. Will you do that for me? I love you. Leave it for him. Hug someone while standing there until they turn blue.

I'm grateful to be here. You can sit. Dr. Antipas, would you resist? Dr. Antipas runs my new Jake's School of Theology. Leave it for him. He comes here to make sure I am theologically in order and correct and he runs my school for me. I just started an online Jake's Divinity School. It's also online and in Dallas and we're proud to announce it. Thanks for being here; playing hooky away from church. I'll look for you later. Amen. Throughout the other services I kept... I was preaching, I kept looking at this guy who looked like Mike Todd.

I said, Oh my God, let's be like Mike Todd and I thought I'd text you later and tell you to check it out. alike in Charlotte. And I discovered that no, it's not his twin brother, it's actually him. Give up for him and his lovely wife. I just met. Stand up and bow. Let's celebrate them. Yes. This is just a good... Since you're both here, I have to brag. I had them both preaching at my Leadership Conference here in Charlotte from April 30th to May 2nd. I'm not worried about there being no demons between Steven Furtick and Mike Todd; all the demons have moved to Charlotte and are afraid to be around.

Amen. Thank God. I have them, Keion Henderson, myself and many others. I invite you to come and be a part of this and enjoy the Lord with Denzel Washington, Tyler Perry and a bunch of people. It will be absolutely different than anything you have, whether you are in ministry or business. I have a component that will really touch your life. Dave Stewart, a hidden, low-profile, African-American billionaire, St. Louis, Missouri. I don't know how I convinced him to come, but what's really cool is that there are a lot of billionaires. He is a born again bloodwashing spirit and feels that he loves Jesus and will show you how to use your faith to take your finances into the future. next level because God is preparing to shower wealth on his people like we have never seen before, so that we can have an impact in this present world.

All the millionaires shout Hallelujah! That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. It's going to be good. Anyway, thank you Jesus, thank God. Thank God for your life, thank God for this church. Go to the book of Acts chapter eight verses one to eight. Now, while you read it, I want to talk to you about my dog ​​Pup. You know you're not very creative when you get a dog named Pup. He was just a puppy and mom said, what are you going to name him? I said, well, let's call him a puppy. So he got to be about this tall, but we still called him Pup and he was nice to us, but he terrified the community, so we had to keep him

chain

ed up and I lived in a little ramshackle house on the side of the hill at the back of a mountain in Charleston, West Virginia and half the house was on the mountain, the other half was held up by 4x4 posts and we had it tied to the posts with a

chain

and we didn't know it could break the chain. until one day this young man came there on a bicycle and he was moving very fast, you know, on the bicycle and now... he's been in my church, God, it's been 40 years now, but at that time I was just a little kid. and We didn't know Pup could break the chain, but Pup showed us and when what he wanted in front of him was bigger than what was behind him, he broke the chain holding him and he went to the next level and I'm believing God . so that everyone here breaks some chains in their lives.

Amen. Any chain

breaker

s in the room? Touch someone and say, "I'm a chain

breaker

." I want you to go to the book of Acts 8 verse 1 and if you want to make me feel at home, defend reading the Word, just because we defended everyone else, we might as well defend God. Starting at verse 1, I will read 8 simple verses that I extrapolate from the text. I think I'll use Pup as an example and call him chain breaker mm-hmm and look. Someone says, "I'm a chain breaker." These are the embryonic stages of church development. The church hadn't even realized who he really was.

He had power, he had a purpose, but he didn't even fully understand himself; It had no structure or order. Saul, who would later convert and be one of the greatest participants in the church, had not become aware of who he was, so the church that did not know who he was was being persecuted by a man who did not know who he was. he. he was. Therefore, therefore, therefore, because of the persecution. Therefore because of the persecution they were scattered and went everywhere preaching the gospel then Philip then Philip then Philip when then Philip went down to Samaria to the city of Samaria he preached Christ to them and the people unanimously paid attention to those things that Philip They spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles he did, they heard what he said, they observed what he did for the unclean spirits who cried with a loud voice, many came out who were possessed by him and many were captured, many were paralyzed and lame, he was healed and there was great… what ?

Joy in that city. Chain breaker. Let's pray. Father in the name of Jesus, I pray that your presence and power prevail in this place today, that your glory emanates through the Word of God. That would touch lives. May it not only touch us but touch everything that concerns us, everything that surrounds us, everything that surrounds us. I pray to God that this is the kind of Word that breaks the yoke, that quenches the thirst, that renews the mind, that breaks the chains, that sets the captives free and sets them free, that heals the lame, that binds the brokenhearted.

I make a special prayer for those whose hearts have been broken today and endure pain that no medicine can heal, but today, in the name of Jesus, I pray that healing will break out in the hearts of not only this campus but every campus. who is watching, I speak, healing and deliverance, make your way into this place in the name of Jesus, we pray and I need everyone with the sound of thunder to shout "Amen." You can be sitting in the presence of God. Next time you introduce me, tone it down a little bit, you know, lower the expectation level a little bit.

I'd rather you be there and that way, if I get there, I'll be up there, but if you put it up there. I have to jump like Magic Johnson to get there, so pray for me. Someone shout "Amen." We are in the book of Acts, it has been mistakenly called the Acts of the Apostles when, in fact, with careful study you will understand that they are not so much the acts of the Apostles, but that they are the acts of God, they are the acts of God. through the Apostles in the early formation of the church, this book was written by Luke, it is a continuation of the Gospel of Luke and was initially undivided, then separated from the book, but continues Luke's thoughts when he says the previous treatises .

Have I done in Acts 1:1 the previous treatises? Have I distinguished Theophilus from everything Jesus began to do and teach? The indication is that Jesus began but has not finished everything that Jesus began to do and teach. and to Samaria Judea and the ends of the earth it is only said that Jesus who is doing it now is not doing it through the body with which he initially did it but instead of doing it through his physical body he is now doing it through through his mystical body but he is still him. There are very few occasions when we see the physical body and the mystical body in the same place as we do at Easter, let me share what I mean in the Easter service, you see all aspects of the body of Christ, you see the body physical. of Christ and through the bread and wine you see the memorial body of Christ serving the physical body of Christ the memorial body of Christ is serving the mystical body of Christ which is the church and they are all together at the table so that the body of Christ says to the body of Christ and says take, eat, this is my body and we see the three manifestations of one body in one place if the enemy had understood what I just said, he would never have crucified the Lord because when he crucified Mr.

He crucified the Lord to remove the body of Christ from the earth but the only thing the body of Christ did was go from the physical body of Christ to the mystical body of Christ so that the work of God could continue and that is your name. It's not James or Robert or Richard or Angela or Shaniqua. No, no, your name. Yes, I have to cover everyone. This is equal opportunity. The Church says Amen. That is not really your name your name is really Christ Jesus yes because when the father looks at you he does not see you as an individual he sees you as Jesus Christ because Christ has covered you in such a way that the truth of the matter is when Christ was on the cross God He did not see his son he saw your sin and that is why when he reacted to what he saw and Christ was wounded by God confused saying Eli Eli Lama Sabactani my God my God why have you forsaken me the reason he felt abandoned is that it was covered up with you so that you may be covered with it so that the life you now live in the flesh you may live by the faith of the Son of God who loved himself and gave himself a ransom for I will prove it to you then Jesus He says when you go to the Father do not use your name because he cannot see you but whatever you ask the Father in my name that I will do when you come to the Father in the name of Jesus it is only because you look like Jesus where his blood is the propitiation of your sin and has thus covered you, so you can come withcourage to the throne of grace, you do not have to walk with your head bowed. ashamed of your sins because your sins were judged on the cross you can come as the beloved son because you are covered with the beloved son and you must remember to use his name tell someone say Jesus say Jesus say Jesus say Jesus say Jesus say Jesus when you come say Jesus because you are wearing Jesus and you are walking in Jesus and you are moving in Jesus said you are living in Jesus in him I live in him I move in him I have my being.

And the church is really trying to understand this whole notion of who they are and understand themselves because the Holy Spirit is falling on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 1 verse 8 and they have received this power, this power from God that is so amazing. and so incomprehensible that they will spend the rest of their lives understanding how to operate in this new dimension of the Spirit, they have no Deacons but they have no Elders or Pastors or Apostles who will come with Paul. They just had power, but power without structure is a dangerous thing. Do you hear what I'm saying?

The Holy Spirit has fallen with such power in Acts chapter one and Acts chapter two that whenever problems arose everyone gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid to leave Jerusalem because they did not feel ready yet. Have you ever not felt ready yet? And you knew God was going to do some wonderful things in your life, but you didn't have all the details together and you still have it all figured out and you felt like destiny was moving faster than revelation in your life and you were walking by faith. and not by sight? That was the feeling of the early church.

So when we don't know what to do, we stay with what we know and when we stay with what we know for too long, God has to send something to get us moving. Because being Christian, something that they had not even named yet at this moment, being Christian is not a monument, it is a movement. It's a movement. It's a movement. It is not a monument, it is not a building, it is not a denomination, it is not a doctrine, it is a movement. Elevation is not a church, it is a movement. You understand? To think that it's not about a building, it's not about four walls, it's not about where you sit in a building, the vision of this church is a movement.

That's why you are called Elevation, which means we move, we rise, we rise, we climb, we advance. Do not look for us where we were because we are Elevation, on brother we will advance, on brother we will walk, on brother we will rise. If the enemy tries to attack us we will rise above the devil because we are Elevation. We are like Eagles that fly through the air and rise above the storm. Come on Elevation, I'm talking about your church, I'm talking about your church and all your locations make some noise if you're getting ready to elevate in this place.

The problem is that fear will turn a movement into a monument and most of our denominational entanglements simply tell us where they stopped moving and we remember where God has been instead of thirsting to be where God is, follow me because today I am going Somewhere. I was told this is the third service and I heard you all could handle it so I'll leave it like it's hot in here okay are you ready for this? I'm getting ready to activate it here, are you ready? For me to start it in this place, I am preparing to tell you that God has a way of changing things, taking us out of our comfort zone, moving us away from the familiar that forces us to disperse.

And that's exactly what this text is about because in Acts chapter 8 the church that is trying to remember where God was is being pushed out of its comfort zone by Saul's attack, from Saul's persecution comes direction. Direction, pursuit, pursuit is direction. Sometimes you shout about the doors that God opens but you should be shouting about the doors that God closes. He will push you. And what happened in the first eight/ten years of the early church, they kept coming back to the council in Jerusalem because, after all, Jerusalem is the epicenter of almost every major religion in the world today and affirms their origin and route to continue.

Back to the city of Jerusalem, that is why the Middle East has so much conflict because they are fighting over territory because Jerusalem becomes Jerusalem the holy city, the city of peace, the offspring and the progenitor of which three religions principals claim inheritance, but you must realize it. that Jesus gives us a clue when he was crucified according to the book of Hebrews outside the city. Jesus with his crucifixion is already preaching to us that he is trying to escape the religious order. That he is breaking orthodoxy, that he refuses to be left in the expected but that he will move into the unexpected and that is why in the book of Hebrews it says that he died without the city, it means that he escaped from the religious order to expose who he really was. so as not to be trapped in the prison of religious ideology.

That's why some people can't handle Elevation because you're unexpected, you're out of the box, you break all the rules, you change the game, you change the floor, you broke the order, look at you, young and old, you blacks. and white people and brown people shouting, dancing and praising God. The

elevation

is... oh! Now you must understand that Christianity was not popular, so it did not even have a name, but it was not until they arrived in Antioch that they began to be called Christians, the early church was called the way and then they were called the believers and eventually in Antioch they were called called church.

And so this nameless group of Jesus fanatics were coming to Jerusalem because that was where they had last seen the glory of him. Whenever there was a dispute, they returned to Jerusalem. When there was confusion, they returned to Jerusalem and were still crowded in Jerusalem, so God sent persecution to change them. I want to talk to everyone who has been persecuted and has been thinking that he was the devil. If it was the devil, God used him because God will often use the devil to change you from one dimension to the next, that is why we glory in the tribulation, anyone can glory when things go well, but true believers glory in The tribulation, oh, I appreciate everyone.

You who are praising God because everything is going well, but the real praise is for the people where all hell is breaking loose and you are still praising God anyway because God is changing you through persecution. And the Bible says that God sent persecution to Jerusalem to disperse the church out of its comfort zone and into the next dimension to get it out of Moncks Corner or Creek or whatever. You see God has a way of ordering your steps in such a way that sometimes you have to pack your bags and flee your comfort zone to find your destiny and that is what we are reading in the book of Acts and the Bible carefully, cautiously. , almost like a footnote and said that Philip went down to Samaria.

Now let's talk about Samaria. It is no coincidence that Philip was scattered to Samaria. God has unfinished business in Samaria. The Gospel of Saint John states that Jesus sat at the well; a well sitting on a well. I waited for that to sink in. Yes, Jesus is Jacob's well and Israel's well and he is sitting at Jacob's well and he is waiting for this loose woman, this woman I called a loose woman. I called her loose, forgive me. Maybe you don't like that. But she had had five husbands in the inner society who forbade that kind of thing.

She had five husbands and one situation. You know some of us get into these situations. "It's not... who is that... well, he's not exactly... uh... We're friends." So she had five husbands and a friend, she went down to the well after being married five times and she was living with a man the sixth time and she went down to the will and she met the seventh man and when she met the seventh man the search began. finished because he quenched the thirst of her soul and set her free and set her free and gave her victory.

And you will remember that it was not her thirst that started the conversation, but if you study it again in the Gospel of Saint John you will discover that what sparked the initial conversation was not his thirst because she expected his thirst to be quenched. . next to the well in which he was sitting but what started the conversation is his thirst and he says: "woman, I am thirsty." She didn't know that she thought he was a tramp, but the tramp quenched her thirst. Misapplied and misplaced, I admit, but the reason she was always able to get someone is that there was something about this woman that was designed to quench thirst, but she hadn't found the right thirst to quench.

You missed out. Yes, sometimes it has to be the right man to bring out in you what's really inside of you and none of those other men could bring it out in the first place, but when he got to the seventh man, the seventh man showed him why she was the way she was she quenched the thirst you see she was thirsty for water he was thirsty for her because she was going to be the vessel that would unleash her you will remember we don't know her name we don't know if she is Helen or Jane we only know that she is a woman from Samaria and God needed something to be planted in Samaria so that there would be something to harvest in Samaria without seed there is no harvest so the woman that the well was the seed and Philip goes down to gather the harvest Are you with me until now?

Come on, they told me you were very smart on the third serve, so I could drop it and you can handle it. The woman at the well was a seed now Philip goes down to Samaria to gather the crops. I want you to capture that in his spirit. What I want you to understand is that some of the things that are wrong with you are only wrong because you haven't met the right man that there is a reason why you are the way you are and when you get the right piece of the puzzle in the right place everything will work out. meaning if you solve crossword puzzles you will understand that you can't put the right piece in the wrong place and some of you have been put in all kinds of places that you didn't really fit in, but When you find Jesus, you will discover why you are molded the way you are. that you mold and fall into place.

Anyway, that's what the story goes that the woman at the well dropped her water jugs, look at her changing occupations, she dropped her water jugs and ran out into the city to tell all the men, yeah, Honey, tell all the men, she says she knew everything. the men she had influence with the men she had access to the men so the woman told all the men to come see a man. She said: let me show you what a real man is. So after church I want you to call all your exes and tell them: don't do that, I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I don't want to have to bail you out of jail, just be cool. This is just an illustration, okay, she says: "Come see a real man who told me all the things he had done in my life and the man came out to see me, imagine in a misogynistic society, it means they don't respect people." women, that God would use what they do not respect to bring him respect and the women sowed the seed and the women sowed the seed and the women sowed the seed and the women sowed the seed and the women sowed the seed I want to start a revolution with every woman in this room come get out of the shadows get out of the corner get out of the back stop feeling sorry for yourself despite all your mistakes God will use you to unleash it I need some sisters who can blow this up in this place yah yah yah yah yah. yah yah yah yah yah now not all... here is a woman but then among women there are real women there are women I'm not talking about all of you, women who never did anything, never smoked anything, never drank anything, never went anywhere On the other hand, they were never in the club and you have always been a Christian, that is wonderful.

I'm not against you. I'm proud of you, I'll celebrate you, but there's a reason why some of these broken women who were called to the kingdom because you're brave because you're bold because you speak your mind and you let the chips fall where they will. Raise some sassy sisters in this room who can make some noise. Let me hear the sassy sisters turn it on. God is about to use what he was working against you to work for you. He is preparing to take you to the next level. So this is the moment when the water jug ​​falls.

Leaving the lesser for the greater, leaving the first for the ladder. Now she runs into the city and says, "Come see a man, she planted a seed, no wonder Jesus waited for her." He said, I have to go, I have to go to Samaria, I have to go to Samaria and then he didn't go to Samaria, he just met the woman of Samaria, he met the woman of Samaria, because all he had to do was go to Samaria to find a woman who was bold enough to unleash it on that city and planted a seed. We have heard nothing more from Samaria since this wild, radical woman started a love revival meeting that cost the men to see the Prophet.

Fast forward to Acts. chapter 8 when persecution arose in Jerusalem it suddenly got so nasty that Saul was killing and imprisoning so many believers that Philip says I'm going to guess which Samaria because God had unfinished business in Samaria something had been planted in Samaria time had passed and now Philip goes to Samaria the only oneThe problem with Samaria is that Simon the sorcerer had set up camp in Samaria and began to afflict the city. Look, every time the enemy knows that God is going to do something big in your life in your city in your church, he will always send Simon the sorcerer to counteract what God is doing in your life.

What I am trying to get you to see is the reason you are under attack is because God has started something in your life and every time the enemy sends wheat, he will always plant tares. Are you still with me? Are you OK? Are you OK? Inhale, exhale, shout Hallelujah because something is about to happen in Samaria. Samaria is being attacked by Simon the sorcerer. Now I'm getting ready to go kill. Simón has taken over the region and convinced him that it is a wonder. Simon has taken over the region. Now let me show you something about the satanic attack. the enemy likes to take over territorieswhat the bible calls principalities they rule regions over cities over areas and the enemy has established himself in Samaria trying to stop the power of God from prevailing in the city and against all these forces that have trapped the city God from Philip glory to God God since Philip look I want to go deeper the enemy is in a region he establishes territories that's why we call them principalities he takes regions the spiritual war that exists over Charlotte is different from the spiritual war that exists over Tulsa is different from The spiritual war that exists over Chicago is why you can't use a Charlotte weapon against a Lake spirit, you have to understand the war that exists over your city.

Do you remember when Jesus went to the man who was filled with demons in Ganarene and when he finally cast out the demons the demon told Jesus not to let us leave the region? We have done so much work in this territory that we don't care if we have to change boats but don't let us leave the region. There are demonic wars that take over areas and certain areas are given over to certain types of evils. demonic wars that have taken over certain families and certain wars have taken over certain families grandma got pregnant out of wedlock mom got pregnant out of wedlock and now my daughter comes into the house and tells me that she is pregnant, that is a spirit.

Instead of reigning over the territory, my dad was an alcoholic and I'm a drug addict and now my son started taking drugs. That is a regional territorial principality. That didn't mean letting the Johnsons go. That didn't mean letting the Wilsons go. That didn't mean letting the Richardsons go. I know you can't say anything, but there are certain things that run in the family. And you can say you can look at your sisters acting like your aunt and your aunts talking like your grandmother and they all have the same spirit and you want to break the chain oh my God, oh my God, I feel something, I feel something.

I feel something, I feel something. I feel something. Touch your neighbor and say break the chain, yes, that's why God saved you to break the chain, that's why the pastor baptized you to break the chain, to bury who you used to be, so you can rise up and become who you're going to be. . He baptized you. Break the chain that held you in your life, look at your neighbor and say: "I am going to break this chain." Uncle committed suicide my cousin committed suicide my brother committed suicide I feel the spirit of suicide but I'm going to break the chain look at your neighbor and tell him "break the chain." You don't even know what kind of chain it is, but everyone in the room has a chain that must be broken in order to be free.

There is a chain that has to be broken in order to be freed. Shout yes, someone. I will show you another chain that Abraham came to Gerar and when he got there he lied and told the king that his wife was his sister. Well, at the time Abraham told the lie about Sarah, Isaac wasn't even born, but go ahead, here it comes. Isaac with his wife. He tells the same lie that his father told a lie that he didn't even hear but that there was a chain between Abraham and Isaac. So the chain was there and the same lie was there and the same fight was there but something is about to happen.

Let me go deeper. Before, when you went to the doctor, the doctor only examined you. Now when you go to the doctor, he wants to know if your grandmother had heart problems. Did your grandfather have high blood pressure? Did your grandfather have diabetes? Did your father die of diabetes? Why does it matter what my grandmother had, she's dead? I'll tell you what matters there is a link in the chain between you and your grandmother there is a link in the chain if the health of your body and the richness of your mind and the way you manage emotions there is a chain between the two.

If grandma was prone to depression and mom was prone to depression and now you're sitting here you couldn't feel it at 15 but now at 23 you're starting to feel depressed. That's not your depression, it's your grandmother's depression trying to make a link between who you are and who they were, but I came to warn the devil, the devil is a liar, you spread terror in the city long enough, you wreak havoc on enough time. he kept us in bondage long enough. I'm not going to let my devil of a dad defeat me. Oh hell no. Today there will be a chain to break in this place.

I don't know who I'm preaching to and I don't know who God sent me here for, but something is about to break in your life like never before. And I command that the spirit of deliverance take place in this place. I need about 60 seconds of crazy praise in this place. yes, yes, praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him. Praise him in defiance. Congratulate him with attitude. Praise him with conviction. Praise him with tenacity. Praise him like you mean it. Praise Him as if your life depends on it. Praise him to rebuke suicide. Praise him as if you were coming out of a depression.

Praise him as if you were leaving promiscuity. Praise him like you're coming out of porn. Praise him as if you are coming out of adultery. Praise him. Praise him. Praise him. I won't leave my husband. I will not abuse my wife. I won't hit my son. I'm going to break the chain. Shout it out! The reason you couldn't stay at Moncks Corner is because you had to fight a devil and all God did to prepare you was take you to an area where the enemy had set up camp in a region and was preparing you. at Moncks Corner preparing for what he was going to do in Charlotte so that the yolks could break upon the lives of people who live and pray and he said: I have to be free, I have to be set free and I have to be whole and the reason There is so much anointing in this church and there is so much praise in this church and there is so much deliverance in this church it is because when you came here something broke in your life if I have a witness anywhere in the house make some noise as if you have lost your mind.

So the text says that Philip went down to Samaria, it's not like he walked down to Samaria, you know? It wasn't like that at all. He didn't come to have a cup of tea, you know? He didn't come there because he wanted to ride the Samaria Ferris wheel. He was on a mission when God put someone on a mission. Hell gets nervous when God puts a man on a mission, the demons start shaking and start trying to stop the man from getting to where he is trying to go. Let me prove it to you. As Jesus prepared to go free the man who was tied up in Ganarene's tomb on his way to the area, a storm came out of nowhere and the Bible says that the whole ship began to rock and sway and the Bible says that Jesus He was asleep in the bottom of the boat and Pedro began to be afraid that everything was going to capsize.

Why do you think the storm broke out? The storm broke out because the devil knew that Jesus was on his way to free the man who was bound. because of demonic influence and oh so I feel like preaching. Oh, I feel something in this place. Touch your neighbor and tell him that you went to the correct service. Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus. Jesus is down at the bottom of the boat and he has rested and he has rested because there will be a fight. He rested because he knows that when he reaches his destination he will have a demon to fight.

In fact, he has several demons to fight. He has legions of demons to fight and he has to fight them alone, which is why the Bible says he was at the bottom of the ship. Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat in the middle of a hurricane. What kind of Jesus can sleep in the middle of a storm and the whole boat rocks and sways and the boat fills with water and neither the winds nor the rains had disturbed his rest? You don't understand it. The winds were blowing, lightning was flashing, thunder was booming out of nowhere and the water was filling the boat so much that Peter was afraid the boat would sink and Jesus was at the bottom of the boat, he had to be wet.

It's not the cruise line Carnival had to be wet and the wind was blowing and the ship was rocking and none of that woke up Jesus except when one of his believers called him. Can I leave? I want you to know that you have the power to awaken Jesus like no one else can. If you call on Jesus. Touch seven people and say, just say, "say something." Say something. That's why when you get depressed, the devil doesn't want you to say anything. When you enter a trial, the devil doesn't want you to say anything. Whenever you are in great temptation, the devil doesn't want you to say anything.

Whenever your marriage is in trouble, the devil doesn't want you to say anything because hell knows that the power of life and death is in your tongue and if you open your mouth you can wake up Jesus like no one else can wake up Jesus. Wind can't wake him up, waves can't wake him up, storm can't wake him up, but I challenge you to... Do you think Peter's voice had more impact in decibels than thunder or lightning? With no one but Jesus He can hear your faintest cry. He can hear a tear slide down the bridge of your nose at 3 in the morning.

God is so in tune with you while nothing else can interrupt his rest if you get into trouble. when you are sick, your discomfort will wake him up just as half of your illnesses come from your discomfort. I speak to every nervous, restless, frustrated condition, about which you have not said anything, that manifests itself in illness, stress, insomnia and eating disorders. God will give you a breakthrough today, you are not eating because you are hungry, you are not awake. because you are not tired you are awake because you are at rest but God is about to give you some peace today someone shouts peace Jesus woke up Jesus woke up stood up at the bow of the ship in the midst of the winds and waves opened his mouth and cleared himself the throat, they took the sleep from his eyes and the Bible says that he rebuked the winds and the waves and said: peace, peace, be still.

Wait a minute, let's back up. He rebuked the winds and the waves. Reprimanded? You do not rebuke the winds and the waves, you can stop the winds and the waves, you can stop the winds and the waves, you do not rebuke the winds and the waves, you rebuke the spirits. I came to tell you that there is a spirit behind your storm. There is a spirit behind your anguish. There is a spirit behind your dysfunction there is a spirit behind that problem with your child that child who does not need more Ritalin does not need more medication they do not need to be taken out of their head there is a spirit that is behind your child you could put Remove the half of that medicine and rebuke that spirit.

The Bible says that he rebuked the winds and the waves and with the winds in the ways he heard the voice of the master who made them, he nullified the spirit that sent them and the winds were killed in the spirit and the waves were frustrated on the ground and there was a great calm in the storm of the sea and they continued sailing without incident because God always gets to the center of a situation look at me we pray for the symptoms of a situation you ask God to fix the symptom but God is behind the core of the situation.

Who am I helping today? This same God is the God who sent Philip to Samaria to recover the region. This is not just about you. God wants to take back the region, he wants to take back the neighborhood, he wants to take back your lineage and the reason the enemy is fighting. You are so hard that it is not just you, it is your daughter, your son and your grandchildren who are at stake because God wants to recover the territory. I feel the kind of power that will liberate you generationally, that will break every yoke on your mind and your spirit.

I need some real praise. I don't need nice compliments. I need some real praise. Someone who will praise him for your daughter and praise him for your son and praise him for your children and praise him for your sisters' children. I want to give you 30 minutes to praise Him like you're waiting for Jesus to show up in the room right now. He opens his mouth and moves his hands and moves his feet, moves his knees and moves his lips, moves his eyes, hits his eyes and moves his jaw. Do a little and let everything that breathes praise Jesus Preaching for years, for years.

The puppy stayed under the house. Are you all with me? He would run out and bark and the chain would drag him back. Someone would go in the car and run away, and the chain would pull him back and since he had pulled him back so many times we thought that the chain was stronger than the dog. Someone has tried to move forward but every time you tried to move forward, the chain would push you back. You made a New Year's resolution, but the chain would set you back. And you're starting to think that the chain is stronger than you.

But one day, PupHe saw something in front of him that was stronger than what was behind him. And when she ran away and the chain tried to pull him, she growled and said, "not this time." Someone say "not this time"! You can't have my daughter. You can't have my son. You can't have my marriage. You can't have my life. I declare something to you in this room: I will praise him until my daughter is born. I will praise him until my son comes home. I will praise Him until my marriage heals. Raise your voice. Lose your mind.

Give it to your God: I will bless the Lord at all times. When Philip arrived in Samaria he turned the city upside down since you are all standing. I can't tell you to stand up, so go around in a circle. God is getting ready to change things in his life. He is getting ready to shake things up, everything he was tied down is about to come loose in your life. My God. Wait a minute, before I praise him for what he's about to do, I want to praise him for the chase that brought me to where I am.

If they hadn't hated me like that. If they hadn't attacked me like that. If I hadn't screamed like that I wouldn't have had the power. I feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Something is about to explode. I did not come to preach in this last service, I came to pray the prophetic word in this last service. Something is about to explode in your life. Something that has been dragging you back for years is about to explode in your life you have been praising God above the pain but the pain is about to explode in your life I don't know who I'm preaching to but something is about to to explode It breaks in your life and you are going to blame God for the problem that pushed you over the edge because it has brought you to a breaking point and something is about to be unleashed in your life.

If I'm preaching to you, shout out to your boy. When Philip came to Samaria there was demonic influence, there were possessions and the Bible said there were sicknesses and there were diseases and God sent a man against a city in trouble. Stop pastoring this church and pastor the city. This is not about a church, this is about a city, this is about a city and each satellite church is a cell and I came to activate every cell in every city that is watching me online. There is a reason why a cell has been planted in your area because God is about to activate you as a terrorist to go to the enemy's camp and take back what he stole from you everything the devil stole is coming back I don't know who I'm from preaching and I better stop because I feel like an old preacher standing inside of me and what I feel right now is not even fashionable anymore, but I feel the power of the Holy Spirit.

The kind of power that raised Jesus from the grave. Someone in this room... Raise your hands and shout "YES"! I want you to understand each city, each area, each neighborhood you are in, in each place, God put you to work, he did not send you there to make money, he sent you there as a witness in that area, to turn that area around. , God could give you. your money anywhere he told his disciples money is nothing I will put your money in a vicious mouth money is not your problem you are not there to make money you are on a mission and when this service is over I will leave to free you to go to places you've never been and see the power of God move like it's never been moved before put your hands on the sister next to you and the brother next to you and say: get ready, get ready, get ready, God is is preparing ready to take you somewhere God is preparing to use you somewhere God is preparing to release you somewhere I feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit in this place.

I'm going to take a seat, but I feel a spirit of liberation coming to this place right now. Behold, I give you power over the enemy power over your problems power over your fear power over your situation. I'm tired of advising what we should throw away. Devil returns. Get out of my head. Get out of my womb. Get out of my body. Get out of my spirit. Open your mouth and... Touch seven people and tell them you're a chain breaker, a chain breaker, a chain breaker, a chain breaker. Some... prepare to break in your home break in your ministry break in your body break in your energy break in your mind.

If you're ready for it to break, shout out to God. When Philip hit Samaria with his ministry he revolutionized the city so much that Simon the sorcerer wanted what he had, prepare for the people who once hated them want what they have there is a reason you couldn't win them there is a reason why you did nothing to please them there is a reason they couldn't accept you god wanted you to be alone and walk alone because he never wanted you to become them he wanted them to become you and you had finally reached the season that those who once They fought with you now they will search for you and you have to be healed enough and feel safe enough to let in the people who scared you because God will use you to minister to the people who slandered you. and you have to know who you are well enough to be ready to receive them because you are bigger than that.

Look at this church. The last verse of the text says that when Philip struck Samaria, he rebuked the demons, he healed the diseases and there was great joy in the—not in the church, in the city they have not been sent to churches but to regions, so when the region is in crisis you must speak out because your vision cannot be contained by walls or campus the Bible said that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our God and his Christ this is about kingdoms now something is about to change the attention something is about to change change Oh Lord, something is coming, something is about to change.

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it? How many are glad you are in this service right now? On every campus, everywhere, this word is broadcast everywhere you are watching on Facebook Live and everywhere else, a chain is about to break in your life like it has never been broken before, take your city , take your region, take your region, take your region, you have to stop thinking that your vision fits within the topography of your walls you are bigger than that you must speak with the regions you must speak with the territories you must speak with the areas that They are desperate to hear your voice beyond your walls these are not your congregations these are your disciples and wherever you send them the people God gave you are not your destiny, they are your transportation to go to all the world and all the systems of the world. world and a change is coming in this place and I can feel it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, some of you are in that family to turn that family upside down and you don't have to argue and you don't have to fight and They don't have to be very deep or super spiritual, all you have to do is let the glory of God's love flow from you in such a way that you won't have to get close to them, they will get close to you to see what you have to give it to you. that kind of peace and all I need to do is break the bond that still connects you to a family or a region that is dysfunctional that is trying to keep your neck away from the next dimension you are not fighting your devil, it is the devil of your mother and the devil of your grandmother and the devil of your grandfather and the devil of your family and the devil of your region and the mentality of where you grew up and where you come from; satan inside a principality and because you are tightening the chain, he doesn't want to let you go because if you let go, if I'm not talking about playing church and setting up games, but if you really let go, everything that is connected to you it will go. be released by the power of God.

Join someone who leaves no one untouched. Pup popped that chain like it was a popsicle stick and when it exploded he started running. I'm going to count to three and when I get to three, everything physical, ailments in your body, afflictions that have attacked your health. every mental and emotional disorder every nervous condition every bipolar every neurotic every anguish every anger everything that has ever held you back I am believing that God is going to break loose the storm cannot stop you. He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Squeeze that if you were holding the enemy, he doesn't want her to have peace, he didn't want him to have peace because he's a chain breaker.

Someone stepped back from the first service to be at the second something just told you to stay there God has something else for you you're in the right place at the right time we're getting ready to blow something up in this place Hallelujah if you're online, get ready in order to show up. Will explode! What you are fighting for is not yours, it was passed on to your family and your bloodline, but today it is going pop, it is in your way, it is in your way, it is in your destiny, it is in your path, it is in your future, it is On the path of your prophecy, squeeze that hand. family dysfunctions are preparing to appear in this place oh, this is a great service.

I'm not talking about the people, I'm talking about the glory that is preparing to appear in this place. Some of you came from regions with attitudes and dispositions and from time to time you act like you come from where you come from, but you squeeze that hand and the chain is about to burst. One! Are you ready for it? Do you believe that God is bigger than anything that has ever held you back, that has ever bound you? Do you believe that he is bigger than anything you have been feeling in your body, in your mind and in your soul, in your spirit?

You believe it? You believe it? You believe it? You believe it? You believe it? You believe it? Two! Do you believe that no weapon formed against you can prosper and every tongue that rises against you God will condemn? Do you believe that this is the day that the Lord made and that today you will obtain a deliverance that will accompany you for the rest of your life? He'll get in the car with you. He will climb into the house with you. He's going to work with you. When I get to three I want you to scream like you've lost your mind.
