the

barriers

to destiny. Check out. Are you blocking love? This is the chapter of love giving receive it achieve it is there a barrier? Is there a reason why people don't like you or is there a reason why you can't like me? what is the lock? Could there be something that prevents you from suffering? there is something a barrier right in the middle of the dissertation on love says when i was a child i spoke like a child i understood about a child and i thought about the child but when i became a man i left childish things i left childish things i skipped the child i understood as a child i thought of the child sprague understood thought hmm spoke understood thought t t such spoke understood thought spoke understood thought F UT systems under test this is how you test your systems test your systems through how you talk how you understand and how you think if your life doesn't is coming to an unexpected point do you have the courage to test your systems because your systems must be tested is it the way you speak the way you understand rstand or the way you think that prevents you from becoming what God wants you to be it's not the way you look look how much time you spend on how you look you work so hard on how you look and there are people who don't don't have the characteristics you do who are so much happier than you find ace but you're miserable you've got your eyebrows big but you're not happy you've defied the way god made your ass more than you've defied the way you think they look pretty but they can see i'm not preaching against pretty.

I'm just trying to say if you've tried your systems because I find people are loyal to this feature. They will fight you to hold on to a broken system. I speak for yourself. That's me. What if I'm not working? How long will you cling to a dysfunctional system and let life pass through the system that is killing you? It is how you speak, how you understand and how you think. in it now we get into it the way you talk the way you understand and the way you think is your system and your system is blocking the rain when i was a kid i spoke like a kid i understood like a kid i thought like a kid child but when i became a man i left childish things oh my god mercy i try not to unload it too fast what we are dealing with is an immature inner life immature inner life not an outer life the outer life is maturing but the inner life has not, could it be possible? don't move because no wonder i know inside you are still a child reacting to stimuli like a child understanding your life as a child a child the reason why children go through trauma when they are young and people get divorced is that children think it's all their fault you are blaming yourself for things that are not in your control you understand as a child you are carrying weights and crosses that have nothing to do with you that were completely out of your control you are being victimized by i spoke to you I understood.

I thought that when I was a child. I spoke of the child. I understood it as a child and I thought of the child. That's all great. It is supposed to when the inventory is supposed to speak to understand. but the blood says that when I became a man, well, I left childish things, the male tells me that it is the fact that I became a man and then I left childish things, no, I left childish things and that made a man, come here. you can think with me oh you have to be my daughter if you understand what i just said because most people think if i can let go of childish things i will be a man he said i became a man and still had a childish system that had to be removed because what was appropriate as a system is now inappropriate because I'm over the way I talk the way I understand oh god help me and the way I think I'm over the way I talk the way I understand and the the way i think i'm too big to be bound by this system i'm too big to be bound by this system i'm bigger than the system the system can't push me away i have to push it away and this is what's important this is how things work it's good to see so what did i get into is when i became a man since the childish things were there for me to put down that means i can be i can develop to the point where suddenly i'm on developed outwardly but not inwardly you are a man or woman loyal to a system of a child and you are waiting for the system to go away or would you set it aside the phrase set aside in the phrase childish things is the same Greek word that is used in verse 10 for remove when they talk about you we prophesy apart we see in part and all of that is removed the same greek word is used here carries the idea that the cessation has not occurred but the functionality is severely limited it is not save it as destroy it but it does mean I saved it until the point that its functionality is severely limited, so Childish speech, understanding, and thinking still exist, but they are severely limited in operating in my life.

Wait wait. I'll talk to you in a minute, but I want to put this iPad away. I saved it so I could talk. for you, I keep it means that I still know where it is, it still exists, but since it prevented me from reaching you, you grab your neighbor, you shake him, you wake him up and say you can keep it, you keep it. you can save it you can save it you can save it you can save it before you lose this opportunity you can save it because if you don't change your system you will lose the opportunity what i'm trying to say if you don't put it in a way it will drive you away if you don't save it will drive you away drive away promotions will save progress will keep love will keep away from life no wonder paul mentions this about love if you don't change your system will put love life prosperity everything will put aw Paris touch is yet to come and to go to a noona moment we have to save all things all systems child answers how do i save it?

I can hear you I can hear you Santa how how to dig into how do I keep it? You cannot keep number one what you do not identify. You have to identify it every time it appears and say you know what it is. That's not the way I want to understand it. That's not the way I want to talk about it. and that's not the way I want to think you're carrying weights and crosses that have nothing to do with you you're being a victim of yourself you remove

child i thought as a child i spoke of the child i understood as a child but when i became a man i put away the childish things i put away the systems now you can't put it away if you're grabbing it if you're defending it you're defending something that's killing you you're defending something this saved don't take it from me leave me alone get out of my sight i'm going to touch my head are you are defending a system that is poisoning your water have you realized how long you have been here you have not achieved what you think is your intended purpose, It must be his system, it must be his system I speak in the child I understood in the child I thought better child and I speak what I say what I say what comes out of my mouth this infantile the power of life and death is in the tongue what comes out out of my mouth that is poisoning my opportunities i can teach you this thing god wants you to change the way you talk what i really wanted to get to is the way you understand the way you understand the thing determine your wait and let me pray to God give me a way to say on earth the way you understand if you ever got mad at someone for something you thought it meant and then when you called him if you talk to him you found out that I was completely wrong and immediately the relationship was ready. it was mended through understanding the person remains the same you remain the same but the way you perceive the thing is ashamed and the relationship is healed see how powerful understanding is understanding is the truth you are beneath it is the truth you stand under is your version of what happened is your version of what's wrong is your version of what needs to be fixed and you could be hindering God's blessing because of your version of your life see about your life at whatever you choose to focus on because we all remember what happened but we all emphasize different aspects of what happened if you don't believe it call a family meeting and let everyone have a say about what happened last september. we all know but how we perceive it Wow no yes Lord thank you thank you said that's why I said in all of that get an understanding as a minister as a counselor as a pastor I've learned that you can't help people who you don't understand you can't start throwing random answers at people you have to listen before you speak you don't know that when you go to a counselor all they do is help you understand you paid $299 an hour to get them to give you a different perspective on what what happened to you I'm not against counseling I think it's a wonderful thing I think it's a very powerful thing and I would get it before I missed the rain I would get it every day before I missed the rain but it might cut the learning curve if I broke the habit of always going back to the old system of processing what happens in your life because i think in your adult life your little son is talking i'm going to get out of here let me get out let's go to galatians let's go to galatians 4 1 and 2 now I say that the air while it is a child does not differ in any way from a servant while you are a child you do not differ in any way from a slave, you are a slave of the system even though it is the Lord of all law he he is no different from a slave honest even though he is Lord of all he cannot operate in his lordship because of his system his flock in the rain is blocking the blessing the one who lives as a slave even though he is Lord of a ll and he is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by his father because of his immaturity he is below the people all of them can't handle this i am going to try y'all he is below the people that should be over you preacher here i will say it again he is below the people that should end, but until he grows up he cannot inherit what is rightfully his and you are following the people you should be leading. keep it good god of us keep it I don't know why I have to keep it I have to keep it I have to keep it I have to keep it I have a distance I myself have to part with it I have to get it out of me I have to move it aside I have to resist the temptation to react in my old system i have to feel it and resist it until it's not mine anymore slap some isaac put it away i'll sit down i'll talk to you minute one more minute just a moment i have to get this because we have to keep it we have to keep it w first we have to put it away we have to knowing it's not us oh god we can accept the fact that it's not us the way i speak the way i understand and the way i think it's not me it's a system i can survive without until you know it's not us you will kill because you will think that killing him is killing you, which prevents you from being the new you, we are entering a new normality and to go to a new normality we have to put things away old systems old childish answers how do i put it away i can hear you i can hear you say that foul how to go deep how i put it away you cant put it number one what you dont identify you have to identify it every time it comes up and says you know what it is thats not the way i want to understand it that's not the way i want to talk about it and that's not the way i want to think so when thoughts come i have to resist them the bible once said identify yourself if you resist number two if you resist he will run away from this It is resistance.

The training is pulling against that which will make you strong every time it comes to controlling how you speak, how you understand or how you speak. Think that the Bible says that if you resist it, it will flee the more you resist it, it will flee the more you cut off the thought.and you abort it will die the less you say what you thought it will go away the more you challenge how you understand and say maybe it is not so, the less power it will have to be your truth for longer. I have to close right now.

It has been a real joy to share the word of the Lord with you and begin to discuss what I have been. to get our flock to take the steps it needs to remove the barriers of entanglement so you can walk in the full west of who you are in God if not now when else you who are you waiting for you need to align with God's Word I am so committed with this and so convinced by this that I prepared a book called destiny because I believe that this stage of your life is a stage of destiny and I have the steps to help you get there, why not? t order a copy live and experience the power of God moving in your life in a personal impression way I know many of you will be coming to the megafest will have a few coffees there too but if you want to go ahead and order now you can drop me a mega close by.

I'll have a drink there I want this to be a meeting and an event a decision that sets you on the path to your destiny I know what to do God will leave you and the boys, the address is not an appendage, he is not alone, oh Jesus, is he? Do you know how sure he has language? I'll give you a hint of where you're going now, every day you wake up and you're adding to the kingdom that you're subtracting from hell and that's why the devil can't stand another one there's a force on the planet rather than facts and it's called the truth of the word of God the anointing comes on your life to change your season and since I want you to understand that what God thought of you is more true than what you thought of yourself and I want to take you on the road and I want to let it rain on your head and what he thinks of you begins to fall to the ground and you become seed for the sower and bread for the eater and the people are glad to see you come blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord they will be glad to see you come because God is going to make bread of your life they have crushed you they have pressured you they have pulverized you but God said I am going to make you bread I am going to make you nourish matter I am going to make you strength for someone this is the bomb
