Dedication 2 Destiny - Bishop T.D. Jakes [January 5, 2020]

I'm going to talk about

dedication

to

destiny

,

dedication

to

destiny

and that's a bit of a strange topic because most people see destiny as something that God does and it just happens arbitrarily and we have no investment or involvement in it. it. We don't normally think of dedication and destiny in the same sense because we attribute all responsibility for our destiny to the Lord. You know that all things work together for their good. Love the Lord. What are the calls according to their purpose? Thinking that we don't have to do anything then all things just work together for our good leaves us thinking that we get the impression that God just makes it work whether we work or not it will just work for our good if the Lord want it to happen, it will happen, but I will talk to you about dedication to destiny.

How dedicated are you to what you believe? I'm going to challenge some of your belief systems this morning. Maybe I can point out some things in your life that will help you make this year more effective I will help you weigh the effectiveness of this year I will help you weigh the effectiveness of the next 10 years of your life I started by talking about the decade in which we enter a new decade how many are happy to be part of this field decade, now there are some people in this room that the enemy didn't even want you to be alive for this desk help, so you can't sit there and be cute and look so important, sell, yes, me.

I'm glad you know that the enemy is trying to kill you before you even get here and that you really need to get up and celebrate and thank God that you're just here, you're just alive, you're just alive, if you don't understand that, but sit there. and look pretty you should smile like the devil and say look, I made it, I made it, I made it to Twitter Twitter, come on, someone I'm talking to this morning and as is our custom, you can stay standing. We're going to go to Genesis 39:20-23 for a few minutes and use this scripture just as a starting point.

I don't really want to exegete the text, but instead want to use it as a canvas. in which we transmit and write ideas and share principles and concepts that will help us better move towards the purpose of God's plan and dictates because God has a plan for my life, good God and I said God has a plan for my life. the reason I was not stillborn is the reason I did not die in a crib is the reason I survived my childhood is the reason I survived accidents, accidents and professional injuries God has a plan for my life, It's not that I'm so good It's not that I'm so perfect It's not that I'm so smart It's not that I'm that innovative It's just that God preserved me because He has a plan for my life and I'm going to live that plan So all you haters and you don't want my plan to live, get over it.

I'm going to live that plan. All of you who have enemies who do not want you to live out his plan, tell him to get over it and God. He has a plan for your life and you're headed somewhere, tell him I'm excited. I had the scriptures read. I'm already on fire. Shout hallelujah. Someone and Joseph took him and put him in prison, a place where the Kings. The prisoners were bound and he was there in the prison, but the Lord was with Joseph. I like that, I just want to pause right there, what an ox, a mole in the master of him, put him in prison and God said if you go to prison, I'm 200 thousand, nobody.

Make me like Jesus if he goes to the emergency room. I'll go with you if he has problems. I am a present help in times of problems. Tell Marty who thought you were alone. You have to scream right now because. God likes the strong but the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favor in the eyes of the prison keeper. Let's go and the prison keeper entrusted to Joseph II entrusted into Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison and everything they did there he was the author of it, can you say that the man, the keeper of the prison, did not look at anything that was under his hand because the Lord was with him and what the Lord made it prosper?

Oh, I have to put that back again I have to read that last good idiot again put that other one oh that disciplines for what he did what he didn't do that what he thought about not what he danced but what he did Lord managed to prosper touch the neighbors say do something father God in the name of Jesus we are in your house thank you for life we ​​will not waste this breath we will not waste this life we ​​will not waste this year we will not waste this week We will not waste this day someone died before today but you let me live to see another day I won't waste this day complaining about who you don't like to be my toe and finger hurt I'm alive I'm going to work this day for your glory I'm going to move some things today for your glory I will in the name of Jesus now bless the word as it is shared today in the name of Jesus I mean with the bully shout shout a good man can you sit down, glory, I want to test your lungs, make sure you have good lungs one more time, shoot a bird, oh yeah, you're ready, okay, what I want to do is delve into what I started talking about during the New Year's Eve service.

We had in church. I want to go deeper into it. I want to talk to you a little about decades, dreams and decisions. Decades, dreams and decisions. Now personally, my life is out in decades. I said it's going where I want to be ten. Years from now and when I talk to people around me I sound a little strange because I talk like I'm old because I'm thinking ten years from now and they say you're too young to think like that. No, no, no, I'm not too young, you're never too young to be thinking ten years ahead planning my life and decades have helped me evaluate the years, how do you know you're having a good year if you're not? fit into a long-term goal of where you will be in ten years, how do you measure a good year simply by survival?

I hear people say you know 2019 was a bad year because they went through a lot of things where they were in the hospital or they went through this attack or that attack or so and so died or this fact that will die and say it's a good year. or bad based on the conditions and circumstances that are going to happen each year, there will be no magical years where your emotions are not tested, where your mind is not tested, where you do not have opposition or enemies, there were every year. You have life, it will be life, but I determine if it is a good year or a bad year by how close I am getting to what God has in store for me, how much progress I am making towards the direction that God and I have charted.

I'm out for my life not for the hassle I'm used to the hassle if you don't learn to thrive under fire you'll thrive if you're going to keep waiting until the coast is clear before you make a move, you might as well turn into a mummy, you might as well be the Statue of Liberty because you will never move because the coast will never be clear, it will never be totally conducive to what you are trying to do, in fact, many, many times. The greater the opposition, the closer you get to your goal. Anyone here who has had a baby will tell you that labor pains increase the closer you get to the birth of your baby.

I want to tell you something that will make you begin to recognize that dreams are fertilized in stinky places let everyone who ever gardened say man dreams are fertilized not in nice convenient places not when everything is going well it's in the stinky places it's in the difficult places that dreams are fertilized so if you avoid the stinky places You are avoiding the fertilization of God's next move in your life. Are you listening to what I am telling you? Are you listening to me this morning? But when we start talking about dreams, many times we don't achieve them. because we're not specific I want to be a better man, what does that mean?

I want to have a great year this this this this way of generalizing your dream prevents you from monitoring success I'm going to the next level where is it? I want to go up where and this year I will be a better person how I see these types of things that make us fail because they are not specific enough to hold us accountable I want to be a good wife I want to be a better wife I want to be a better husband what does that mean specifically In which area let's be more specific I'm going to spend more time at home I'm going to budget my finances better let's tie it to something you can measure because If you don't tie your dream to something you can measure, it is easily dismissed and with that dismissal comes the feeling of success, so you are always saying things that never make you feel successful, not because you are not having success but because you have no quantifiable goals, how are you measuring your life?

The Bible says, teach me the number of my days. Oh God, may I know how fragile I am, teach me to appreciate each day, how are you measuring your life, are you listening to what I? I'm saying I'll get to the good stuff in a minute. This is also when you start talking about decades and start talking about dreams, you have to start talking about decisions because if you don't have goals. How do you base your decisions? Who comes in and out of your life? Where do you spend your time? Who do you get involved with?

What do you say yes to? What do you say no to? I've finally started to learn not to hit every ball that comes my way. I mean, I'm not just talking about not swinging at bad things, I'm talking about not swinging at good things because it can be a good thing, but if it's not connected With my destiny, I need to reserve my swing. Oh yeah. Not everyone listens to what I say. I need to save my swing for what comes next in my life. Some of you swing all I want. I don't care what I have to do.

I'm opening a gas station that I don't work, I'm opening a beauty salon I'm opening a beauty elementary school, I'm opening a restaurant, I just want to get up, just, by any means necessary, no, no, you'll never get up like this, you have to be specific about who you are and what you bring to the table and what you are called to do and be and you may have to let go of ten ideas to get to what is aligned with your destiny. I want to aim for something that is aligned. I want to have friends who are aligned with my destiny.

I'm getting to the age where I can't just carry around a bunch of dead weight. Maybe when I was 20 I could afford to carry dead weight, but now, if that doesn't get me closer to where I am. I'm trying to go. I'll help you if I can, but I can't carry anyone right now. I'm strong enough to take on all of you, hero, because some people don't want to walk. I don't mind. carrying you for a while because they can't walk but some people don't want to walk they use your compassion as a crutch. I know you won't carry me, so why should I walk?

I know you're going to pay for it. Why should I do it? I know you're going to get me out, so why should I get up? I know you're going to fix the problem, so why should I be proactive? You need to take the runners and start erasing all those people from your life who are using you you are not helping them you are allowing them to be a failure by not releasing them to their destiny you need to give them a cup of tough love and tell them to stand up for yourself feet you can do this.

I'm preaching better than you shout every day. I have to make decisions and it's easy to make decisions between right and wrong and right and wrong. They are obvious, but it is difficult to make the seasons between good and good between what you want to see. do versus what God has called me to do just because something is a just cause doesn't mean it is my cause. I don't have enough self to take on everything that needs to be done. You can't volunteer for everything and still be good. in anything part of your extension is so thin that you're not good at anything because you said yes to everything practice with me practice is with me practice is with me say you didn't do that well let's do that again everyone say no oh yeah, you know what doesn't give you focus doesn't give you discipline doesn't give you structure doesn't give your neighbor and the opportunity to say yes to what you said no to see that your no is someone else's yes and if you stop trying to be everything then someone else can do it.

Be something, but if you try to be everything, you get in the way of someone else trying to be something. I can't go everywhere. I can't speak for everyone. I can't be in all the churches I can. Being at every event I know becomes someone else's blessing, so far from the spirit of guilt that the enemy wants to impose on you because you can't say yes to everything, someone needs you to say no in order to say yes, someone needs you. say I can't do it so they can stand up and say I can, your burden is someone else's blessing, so if you're going to have a great year this year you must practice, yes, you have to practice, so that when you say Yes You have the power and strength to be truly dedicated and completely committed to something, why do you have to be dedicated?

Because if you have a dream that can be easily achieved, it is not worthy of you if you have a dream that does not require discipline and concentration your dream is too small I did not dream of brushing my teeth I am just believing in God that by His grace I could brush my teeth teeth no no no I just brushed my teeth and kept going About: I brushed with my toothbrush, but I did it alone. I didn't have to fast, but I need adream if you are a big dreamer yell at me now I want to talk to my big dreamers because big dreams take time I want you to stop being angry because you didn't achieve your dream this year because big dreams take time Malcolm Gladwell says that to be competent at anything you have to protect practices 10,000 hours to be effective at it 10,000 hours will make you an expert.

His book is atypical. Talk about 10,000 hours if you want to be an excellent pianist. Put in 10,000 hours and you'll be bad. 10,000 hours, by the way, is about ten years. Ten years is a decade. What are you going to do with this decade? I know you used to be talking about what are you going to do with this year, but what are you going to do with this year is determined by what are you going to do with this good because the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord this year is the first step of the decade so in ten years how old will you be?

Someone said that might be true, but I'll let that surprise me. I don't have to plan for him to be able to sneak up on me to be okay, he can hit me in the back of the head, but let's say I'm here, I guess winning, are you making decisions for the decade or for the moment? I told some people who were getting ready to buy a house and their kids were, you know, maybe 11 12 13 14 somewhere up there and I told them not to buy the house. about children, not at that age now, I think at two years old it could be different, but not at 14, because when you build the house, you furnish it the way you wanted and all the rooms are done. right where you need it, they will leave the house and you will walk around talking about we don't need this whole room, you have bedrooms, you're not going to collect dust in places, dishes, you don't use pans, you don't Don't bake in here because you didn't have a plan for 10 years , our unit had a plan for a moment that was happening while you were building the house, oh, I stumbled upon something right there, what I want to talk to you about is the dedication it takes for birth, what you are looking for and the reason why What I want to talk to you about is that it alarms me that people who give up so easily and I think give up so easily because of the Cracker Jack sermons that come from pulpits all over America.

That thing about going around three times, God is going to give it to you and you think that if you go around three times and it doesn't happen, God doesn't want you to have it, but you can spread it around until you faint. the floor when you start to spin god bless what you do who I'm talking to today no matter how old you are you need this message if suddenly you don't want to build a three story house now the young man People don't understand why I say it there, but they all have gray hair.

You're starting to have an epiphany about why putting the master bedroom on the third floor might not be a great idea for a 75-year-old. This could be a good time to sell the house and get an apartment, something you can handle because you need to have a strategy or, if you don't have a strategy, your lack of strategy will give the enemy the opportunity to make your life more difficult than it otherwise would be. Which had to be because you weren't. I'm not thinking about the future someone said in 10 years I'll be dead if I'm dead I won't have to worry about it but suppose not I guess I'm still here what am I planning?

I am? doing what I am moving how I am preparing for what is next in my life I am 30 years old planning for 40 I am 20 thinking about 30 or I am simply living in the moment and they are surprised because my future is not anchored because I have not dedicated myself to my destiny. Determine who I listened to. Determine what books I read. It determines who I wear. It determines which committees I join or leave. Which boards I did or did not join. Determine who. hang out because I want to be around people who feed off the place I go.

You know there's a community of people that we join because they're related to where we left them and we connect with them because you're from the West. Virginia and I'm from West Virginia and oh my gosh you remember the Appalachian Mountains and I remember the Kenai River if you remember and I was so wonderful because I'm related to you because you're connected to my story or you hung up you hung up. in the same clubs as me or drank the same thing oh that's a whole new side to church let me go here I want to go here and talk to real people who understand that the human propensity is to feel more comfortable with people whose story aligns with the yours, but the divine opportunity is to connect with people whose destiny aligns with yours now, when you connect with people with whom you have a destiny in common, do not expect to feel comfortable, you will grow towards comfort as you have shared experiences but initially you will feel like a stranger because the connection is for an upcoming date.

It's not that important that you marry someone who fits where you are. That's not the hard part. It's easy to discover someone. who fits my current need, but I need to find someone who will grow with me, go with me and evolve with me and when I change, you change and when we grow, you will fit into my 50 year old self and my 60 year old self. and 70 year old me I don't care if you fit into my 20 year old self. I'm pretty easy to fit in with. Twitty Melissa needs 20's not even smart yet but I need someone who has reached the fullness of my intellectual capacity you have fluidity of thought and mental agility - you have to flow with me you have to rock with me you have to roll with me if you travel on the motorcycle with me when I go this way you have to go this way Everybody listen to what I say for you because if you are going to ride with me don't make me fall because you throw it this way when I'm riding this way the moments of your life will tell you who are you.

I'm traveling with you, I need to see how you handle the terms, anyone can travel with me on the straight, but when I give in to the turning point and the fundamental place, I need someone who can accompany me, who can glide with me, oh come on, talk to me someone I don't need someone who wants to get off their bike because I hit a bomb my god I haven't even managed to detect you but I'm saying something that you need to hear and that's why you need God in the election because God can see the future and you you can only see the moment.

I don't need to hire someone who is good for where I am now. I need someone who has the ability and then as I move forward you can grow with me or I'll end up carrying dead weight and every time it's payday I roll my eyes at you because you haven't evolved in 20 years and you're loyal to whoever you are. used to be my god I want you to understand something that generally dedication begins in stewardship generally dedication begins in stewardship and that is to say, well, let me use this first Luke 1612 says that you must first be faithful to what belongs to us to another man in In other words, God allows you to practice where you are going to be. until they put that back into their equipment until they can be faithful and if they have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give them what is theirs?

See, some of you are holding back your dedication because you don't want to dedicate yourself to something that's not yours, so when you get there, you're going to do your best when you get there, no, no, if you don't do your best now, you won't get there. It's your best chance, you can't. I told a friend of mine that you can't preach well when the crowds are big. You have to preach well when there are only five people there, you were still doing your best because if you were faithful. about some things I will make you rule maybe you will listen to me some of you have been saving your best things for the big moment don't use your best things now so that the best will get better I feel like I'm talking to someone I don't I don't even know who it is when I don't I'm in the pulpit preaching, I'm writing and when I'm not writing I'm looking at movie scripts and making movies and movies and we have some projects that will come out throughout my life. and whenever you're developing a character, a character's life isn't believable if he doesn't have an arc and someone says an arc.

I'm not talking about what Noah put together in an art, you can do it. You don't have someone whose life is just one straight thing. You can't write a story that's just a straight line. It has to have heart. You can't preach a message that doesn't have an art. You can not. make a movie that has no art you can't be a person and not have art in your life the arc of life every good story has an arc it's never a straight line look at the arc of Joseph's life look at the arc of his life his life is like six flags reading about Joseph he's up he's down he's up again he's down he's in he's out he's good he's bad he's he's like a ride and a carnival look at your life if you tell it the story of your life you wouldn't need tickets for Six Flags have you ever been up have you ever been down have you ever wanted to quit have you ever wanted to die have you ever wanted to fight have you ever wanted to give up have you ever wanted to give up yes good day you have bad days baby that's not the devil that's life you can't blame that no you can plead the blood you can't bind the devil oh that's life let me come down here and look at you we're Okay, now we're about to get somewhere.

Joseph's life could not have been better. It was going well. His brothers had thrown him into a well. They let him die. They left him for dead, but he survived. And the Mennonites came and found him. him and took him out and sold him to Potiphar and he prospered in Potiphar's house he ran Potiphar's house now let me tell you the good thing about being a steward you don't have property but you have exposure so he didn't have gunpowder first bills you see what I'm saying, he had no powder for Thea Beals, but he got to live in Potiphar's house, he got to run Potiphar's business, he got to practice his stuff at Potiphar's expense, it was a dream job, it was amazing.

He took out all the problems, he had to do it and he didn't do it well, he did it so well that Potiphar put him in charge of everything in his house and Joseph dedicated himself, he was winning, he was on top, he was getting it and then a day. All hell broke loose, who would have thought that Miss Potiphar would have thought that Joseph was murdered, which is not a bad thing until she started lying about him. People will surround you. Drinan, right in your face, allows those closest to you and a line and loses his job his cushy, amazing, influential job where he met people he would never have met and did things he would never have done lost his job was defeated and was to jail now losing your job is bad, but going to jail is hell fire me, fire me, please, thank you, fire me, God bless me, I'm fired, okay, bye, I'm fired.

I'm going to jail, wait, oh-ho, that's something completely different, we have to have another meeting about that because I can find me another job, but I don't plan on waking up to someone named Bobo, come on, talk to me, someone Joseph did everything Well, he still lost his job and was put in Kings Prison, he was dedicated to Potiphar, he was dedicated. something good now that you've lost the good what happens when you lose the good oh I'm a preacher read yeah what happens what happens to your character when you lose the good if you were only good for your sake we're your only dedicated because of the paycheck you're just going to preach good putting money is good when the crowd is good when people respond when you are in your element when the conditions are right you are only a good wife when he is a good man Oh Lord I think I lost an entire novel.

Jesus, they were very good with me. There is only a good mother when the children are good. You don't need a good mother when the children are good. You need a good mother when the child is bad. and everyone is giving up on the kids, but mom is standing there fighting to get him through. I wish I had a witness here. Many of us wouldn't be here if we didn't have good mothers with bad children. You are only going to be a good husband when she is a good wife and now you have changed your character to suit your condition.

It doesn't surprise me that Joseph was committed, effective and dedicated when he had the aggressive work of him, the knives in jail and now the test is how you like me. Now you will maintain who you are when it doesn't seem to be paying off or you have become so bitter that you have changed yourself because of the season you are in, because it is a season and it is going to pass and you will not allow it. a temporary circumstance to change you permanently where you become bitter instead of better this too shall pass this is a test if you can attend Joe praise me now anyone can praise him on his way up but Joseph is now imprisoned and is in Kings prison.

I don't know how he got to Kings Prison because he wasn't working for the King, but he's in Kings Prison and it's a dangerous prison because the King made his own rules, he just wakes up one more and says you're going to die and we start. to read the text with him being a prisoner and he made the snow powerless you get up when I say get up you go to bed when I say go to bed you take a shower you win and if I say you take a shower you eat when I say that you eat what I give you and you don't eat anything the inmates have no power and Joseph with his dedication is now in a situation where he looks like me and dedicated he didn't pay and has every excuse to change just like some of you who have gone unjustly through things that weren't even fairturned into a cheat week.

Okay, then you have to do it. live holy for about three weeks it will be the subway and Jesus the subway Jesus the subway Angie I talked about everything while I'm going to buy the banana pudding and I'm quoting scriptures and everything, none of them work. I'm the only one. one, I'm the only one here next to you and then I said to myself, I said I'll help you do it anyway and+ about it, you might enjoy it because you already know you'll get it. I do not need it. Feel guilty. Why do you do it?

Just be guilty later. It was just good. Man, I'm telling you. the Lord was in the banana pudding the Spirit of the Lord I think he was right, it was grandma, right, it was so good. I started singing a slavery song. It should be for her. I'm going to go back to my ancestors, we all have an area that we have. not mastered I am not preaching this to condemn you I am preaching this to challenge you What is there in you that is consistent with what you are willing to dedicate yourself to because that is all we can use for destiny Joseph in prison playing others? the dreams of the people and he has done it for the people and he says man, this is what is going to happen, you will be out in three days, you will be out and you will be back with the king, and in three days with this other Joker, you will be dead, you are pretending, you are a fake, you don't know who you are, you didn't dream that and you are trying to sneak into someone else's anointed in three days you will be dead, the attacker comes out and forgets about Joseph, but Joseph is still dedicated, the terrorist forgets for two years.

I told you it will take a decade. It will take a decade to anchor everything you are doing now. It will take him a decade to get to where he is. His family said it's solid and where you're totally respected at the next level or where you're going to expect it to take some time two years. He was forgotten by the people he helped, but dr. King said that the truth, crushed to the ground, will rise again without being discouraged, it may take a long time, but if you keep doing the right things, if you stay strong and dedicated, if you keep going, you can overcome anything, you can lose weight .

I can go back to university, you can get your PhD if you continue. God can only bless what you are constant in dedication to destiny. This is my opportunity to dedicate my path to the Lord and say, "You know what I'm going to stop getting up." down and back and forth and turning in and out and I'm going to be consistent even though my life isn't even though this year won't be consistent even though my friends won't be consistent and my family will not be consistent my my spouse will not be consistent, even everything around me may not be consistent, these are the areas that I promise I will hold on to.

I won't drop this and they'll drop something else. I say no, I'm not a banana pudding, my friend sighs. I'm still working on that where that's where the mercy that's where the mercy backing up from the mercy and the pudding and the mercy and the pudding and the mercy and we go together lord have mercy but this here this right here Jesus this right here we 'We're going to like this guy, we're going to look, we'll get out of this if I don't say, but $10 a week, we'll get out of this and if I don't work, 200 if I don't quit, 200 pounds or 200 calories.

In a week we're not going to get out of this if I don't take that class for the year we're going to get out of this right here I'm going to put this under lock and key I'm going to put this on a lot because if you put this on a lot right now, by the time I start reading this, I'll be exactly where I need it to be, shake your neighbor and tell him I'm looking for something, it's Ashley, some time later, and me. I'm willing to lock myself in to get it I'm willing to be stable to get it I'm willing to dedicate myself to order I'm not waiting for you to give me You don't have to give me anything I'm not I'm going to be chasing them behind you sniffing behind you trying to get on your good side in the hood I'm not going to dance any of that I'm going to get this for myself and whatever it takes I'm going to pay the price and I like it oh no one, when I understand it it'll be me and Jesus it won't be anything about you it'll be me and the Lord me people say they sell it to someone God is not going to give me 20 20 and it may not be after some God is not going to give me another year it may not be after something God is not going to give me another decade and we could be behind something yes I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'll do it when I'm in jail I'll do it when I'm out of jail I'll do it when things go well I'll do it when things go bad I'll do this I'm going to be consistent Lord you can count on me for this I will bless the Lord at all times his face or what he can count on I learned it a long time ago 50 percent of women are braced for the fight the fight is half over when you show that You will never win a fight you don't show up for I'll show up for this I'll show up for the fight Here I am ready for duty I hide in the shadows for fear of failing I'll face this head-on and let the chips fall where they may yes sir , let the chips fall where they may I will show up verified, you can count on them, they will absorb every day.

I'm going to make a little dent in it every day. I'm going to hit him. every day I'm going to buy it every day I'm a swing every day you can count on me to take action I won't waste another decade complaining about who didn't love me, who didn't raise me and who did invest It took me two years to get rid of the amnesia and suddenly a failure. I had a dream and no one could interpret it and my mother said, you know, I know what you call him down there, President, what about uh Joseph, yeah?

I was in jail with him, yes, he's pretty good, Sir, he's pretty good, heavy, he could be good in prison, he would never have made it to the palace, it was what he did in prison that brought him to the palace, I guess he would have handcuffed to the butler and said: forget it, get out the best way you can. I have my own problems right now, but he was consistent and they didn't get into it. Jessa said the King has needed you. She washed herself. she got a line. he faded perfectly. say I am go see the king I prophesy to you today someone is going to see the child your eyes have not seen your ears they have not heard nor have they entered your heart where God is about to take you is about to take you to another dimension you are going to see the key touch your neighbor and say I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the key I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the key I'm going to see the king I'm going to see the King, I'm going to see the key.

I'm not going to get dressed for where I was. I'm getting dressed for the place I'm going. I'm going to see the guy who was a prisoner in one chapter become the head of the Treasury of the nation of Egypt. That's why I don't believe in committing suicide because when you're killing yourself, you're killing yourself, you don't mention that you're killing yourself because of your past, but what you're killing is not your past, it's already happened, you're killing your future, 24 hours can change everything. your life, you may be on your way down. and God can take me home I wish I had a witness somewhere A Holy Spirit was ahead with me I had a fly my parents So now it all comes down to your party Why does God have you here today?

What do you need? be more dedicated in order to win, you know, most people have never put their weight into anything, most people have never worked to achieve their dreams, the 10,000 hours, no, no, they wanted credit, they won't read What they want. They are supposed to read the work the way they are supposed to work, do what they are supposed to do, and they will blame God for their own petty, lazy, inconsistent behavior, which seemed as if God had failed to deliver when the The truth is that you don't. It doesn't happen and God has been waiting on you God has been waiting on you and he says as soon as he does it, as soon as she does it, I will do it, so here's a question, what is this about what are you talking?

Only you can answer: what dream do you have that you have not fully dedicated yourself to? that you haven't given yourself completely to him consistently because God said if you do it consistently, he will tear it down, tear it down? What is this about? Church has to be more than a Sunday ritual. I don't need another ritual. I don't need anything else to do. I don't need anywhere else to go. I don't need to get in my car and go anywhere else just to say I was there. What is it about? I go to the things that will improve my life.

I go to the things that will strengthen me in some way. I know the things that will help me. To move forward I go to things that are going to fit into my destiny what is this about for you and do you have the courage to rededicate yourself because God says if you will do it will do it if you will do it if you will surely if you will do it will if you you will there is something about people my age and older there is some reason why God left you in this world stop giving yourself a pass and telling yourself here through the devil is alive if Naomi had gone through it Ruth would never have found their purpose to use your age and the pass to be insignificant, enough, enough, enough. 70 ain't no place but here all the other communities respect, say hey I'm only 70 come here kid I'm 70 I guess you're supposed to die and you die because you think you're supposed to because you think you're old you have a destiny lord you have something to do Big Mom you have something to do young man I don't care who you are if you are under the sound of my voice God is speaking to you stand up when I talk about my beginnings now they sound terrible but when I was going through them I really didn't They were so bad because I had nothing to compare it to.

I didn't know he was bold because I hadn't seen rich, so Paul was normal. I didn't know what spaghetti sauce was. I didn't even know that government cheese was government cheese. I just knew that he never melted. I knew it was possible. I set the oven to 450 and it stayed there and I smiled at you. I bet you I still have some of that cheese on me somewhere in the cheese. I'm not even sure it was cheese. It could have been concrete if I had not ministered it. seven people with conviction. I would never have reached you if I had not gone out on the road and preached and contributed my fees to pay my staff.

I wouldn't have 300 people on my staff now if I hadn't fought for my brain. If I hadn't stayed up all night cooking and killing digging ditches I would have bled it would never have happened God doesn't give you things without you being dedicated to your destiny people who think it's easy are Stupid, you think you're going to run here and I will lay my hands on you and you will not get what I sweated for what I worked for what I did, died and bled for what I went to prison because I was in the pit. to survive alive to grow up again undaunted to get out of hell and high water for no one's dreams happen without a fight fight I mean fight I mean fight girl with everything, with everything you have and you're wrong to give up when you haven't fought with You all look at Jesus, he was so committed to his dream that he went to the cross, shed his blood because his head was hung and died for more, the two men were buried for it, but early Sunday morning he shows up to show that I have. what I was looking for, good God Almighty, join someone like me, as we join hands today, this is a message of doing something, it is not enough to hear it if you don't do it, if you accept the challenge, join someone, there is an area in your life, you will have to put all your effort into it, but if you put all your effort into it, it will happen, you will have to put all your effort into your energy, your talent, your gifts, your resources, your relationships, your efforts. we are going to have to be tireless to see that happen this will not be cheap but it will come it will come squeeze that hand something is about to come into the life of that person that God wanted to be here this Sunday morning of next week, when you return , I will build from this base.
