Defense Against Offenses: Get Out of Your Feelings - Bishop T.D. Jakes

Now, to the word of God, can I take a moment and look at you? You look so good you're like nothing you've ever been through. It doesn't seem like you've been through a storm, a trial, a trial. a tribulation a pandemic an illness an affliction a divorce a crisis a dilemma a stress attack a trauma you just look so good with

your

saved and sanctified self you look like Jesus has been keeping you preserving you taking care of

your

self providing for yourself Is there anyone here That Jesus kept you alive through hell and hot water? He's been keeping you alive.

Make some noise in this house. Let me believe with all my heart. I have a word from God. I think it is a prophetic word. I think it's going to speak to someone and I think it's going to free someone. Before I give you my Scriptures, I want us to act as if we are not in church. I want us to act like you're talking to your best friend and us. We're at Starbucks and we're having a latte, yes we're having a latte, I can't smell it but I can drink it, yes we're having a latte and we're having it with that special pumpkin bread.

They let you know, yes, that bread that is juicy when you bite into it, that has no calories because you prayed in tongues and all the calories just drip out. You know who I'm talking about, come on, come on, come on, come on. in you know, I'm talking about glory to God and just come on, come on, I'm going to let you listen to me and let Jesus have a conversation about this text that's in the gospel of Luke chapter 17. Verses 1-10 I'm reading the version of King James, there's no particular reason I study them all, but I think I read King James because he's old and I'm old and we've been dating for so long.

It is not necessary for us to separate now so he said to his disciples shh he does not speak to anyone except with his disciples it is impossible but

offenses

will come but woe to him for whom they come! It would be better if they hung a marker on it. around his neck and threw him into the sea so that he offends one of these little ones, see for yourselves if your brother sins against him, rebuke him and if he repents, forgive him and if he sins against these seven times in one day and seven times a day turning to you and saying I repent you will forgive him this is my favorite part and the apostle said to the Lord increase our faith they said we are fine we have forgiven you once but if it is 7 times 70, you will have to work a little in me to increase our faith as honest and then increase our faith and the lord said that if I had faith like that of a mustard seed, you could tell this sycamore tree to be you will be uprooted and you will be planted in the have and you will now be planted in the sea and must obey him.

Notice that this time Jesus says something that he said before differently. The first time he says, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will speak to the mountain, but this time he does not use a mountain as an analogy. This time he says if you have the faith of a mustard seed, a mustard seed is so tiny, tiny, tiny that it would fit right between my fingers so he said, if you had the faith of a mustard seed, you could tell this sycamore tree, uprooted and planted in the sea and should obey you, but which of you, having a servant plowing or grazing cattle, will say to him shortly after, when he has returned from the field, go and sit with me, and will not tell him rather that prepare with what to suffer and gird myself? yourself and serve me until I have eaten and drunk and then you will eat and drink.

Do you thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I do not believe that it is the same for you when you have done all those things that were commanded of you when you have forgiven seven times seventy when you have done all those things that I have commanded you you say that we are useless servants we have done what is our duty to do we have made the Lord add a blessing to your word reading that's more word than some of you read in a month that will last you a day, so I'm going to use something I never use.

I'm going to use a theme and a subtopic because I couldn't choose between the two and one of them sounds really cool in one of them, very intellectual, so I'm going to use both, okay, so the theme is

defense

against

offenses

,

defense

against offenses and the subtopic is getting out of your

feelings

, getting out of your

feelings

, so one of them should grab you, pick the one you put in, can we stop and pray before we get into this? Yeah, ooh, I like the sound of all those seats going up and the booming sound like I'm in a big stadium.

I'm, that's great, can you hear me from the balcony? Yes, they came in here. Did they not give glory to God? The spirit of the living god falls fresh as it does in the morning cascading over us, opening our tendency to be religious. and superficial and expose the most intimate places of our hearts so that we can simply receive, digest and appropriate the word of God. I thank you in advance for what you are going to do here tonight in the Church of Victory at Potter's House and everywhere in the world. people are hearing that lives would change that marriages would change that ministries would change that workplaces would change that hearts would change that the power of the holy spirit would reach so deep within us that we would be free inside released in our hearts thank you for it what are you going to do in the name of Jesus, amen, let me hear the praise of victory, come on, show the father's house, what a victory, praise, now lord, can you sit in the presence of the lord, I feel good, glory to God.

I feel like doing a split I'm not going to do it but I feel like doing a split I'm like James Brown after being 60 years old when he was 30 he did a split do you know what happens to what he got? at 60 years old he understood it, yes, yes, so that's it, that's all when I was young, I danced with the spirit, I danced so long they would have to put me in the car and I would still be dancing now that I'm older I act like If it were a dance, yes, pretend, God is good, we are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in Christ Jesus for good works, we are unique, authentic, autonomous, individually defined by the master himself, we are original from a designer in a category for ourselves there has never been another you and there will never be another you again even if you have a twin it is not you god has put so much detail into the specificity that even your fingerprint is in a category by itself god himself shows In the Scriptures, the first time we see him, we see him bending over the mud.

The god bending down shows us that throughout the entire book of Genesis, God will bend down to reach us, he bends down and forms man from the dust of the earth. man is just a clay pot, until he breathes into it the breath of life and it becomes a living soul. The word for living soul in Hebrew is nefesh. He becomes self-aware. He is not only alive like a rose bush, a plant or a cabbage. vegetables or potatoes or anything like I'm a little hungry, so you know, all my illustrations will be food illustrations tonight, uh, but he notices himself, if you cut a rose bush, he doesn't scream if you cut celery. .

He does not cry but because we are aware of ourselves we have feelings and the gift of feelings is unique we are created in the likeness and image of God God has feelings the Bible says and the Lord was angry with anger which means anger with fire God has feelings God has feelings jesus comes to the funeral of lazarus uh and cries with mary and martha god has feelings and we need feelings i know this is a church of faith but we need feelings faith and feelings are not necessarily at odds with each other we need feelings we were created to be a kind of feelings if we didn't have feelings we wouldn't have love we wouldn't have love and then how could God ask us to love him with all our heart, our mind and our soul if we couldn't? feel anything our feelings are a gift to us plus the bible says we can be touched he can be touched by the feelings of our weakness tempted at all points as if we still had no sin god cares how you feel and that's why he wants that we have feelings he doesn't want us to be guided by feelings but he wants us to have feelings he wants us to have feelings so there is a natural feeling that we have when we give birth to a child there is a natural protection that we have over a child that you can take the smallest of the women in this room and mess with her son and she will become a serial killer.

I would rather fight with any guy in the room right now than fight with an angry mom because God equipped a mom with feelings, I mean, those of a father. he will knock you out too, they will break your chops, but a mom will pull your teeth out of your gums and look at you like you are a chopped liver and she will tell you: don't come near my son again, God gives us those feelings. and those instincts so that we can be protective and so that we can be corrective and with that we can have empathy and we need those feelings.

These feelings make children feel loved, safe and cared for, but those are the problem. feelings so many wonderful things like them they can also do negative things we can feel hurt in our feelings we can get hurt in our feelings we can be disappointed in our feelings we can be abandoned in our feelings we can be rejected in our feelings and don't even show it to anyone because you can't see a feeling if you break your leg you can see a broken leg if you break your arm you can see a broken arm you can't see a broken heart you can't see a broken heart and it's impossible to treat there's no recipe for a broken heart for a disappointed child who was not raised by his parents there is no recipe that will take away that pain there are feelings that we have to manage to be successful we have to manage them like you have to manage money you have to budget your feelings you have to put guardrails around your feelings You have to control your feelings because if you listen to your feelings you will make quick decisions that you will later regret.

I usually say never make permanent decisions about temporary circumstances because in a temporary moment of passion you can make a permanent decision, live to regret it. Feelings are very, very important to us, but they must be managed. He became a living soul, it means he had a place to store his feelings so that your feelings are not homeless, they are protected in your soulless man, they are not displayed on your body, they are not shown in the way you walk, so if your feelings are hurt you can hide it and no one can see it and no one can know it and you can smile. and say good morning, welcome to jcpenney's and no one will notice the fact that you are heartbroken, that you have a broken marriage, that you are not comfortable in your own job, that you wonder why your mother didn't raise you or why what he treated your sister better than you or why you were never asked to sing a solo unless it was so low and hurt your feelings and we have all these feelings and at the beginning of the text when Jesus talks to his disciples. he's talking to them about feelings and the first thing he did when I started reading this text I said lord, you spent all those verses 11 verses talking to us about how we feel and my eyes filled with tears and I said thank you for caring about how I am.

I feel thank you for caring about how I feel because I'm not sure people always care how you feel, it's much easier for us to care about how we feel than to care about how others feel feeling is empathy, but not everyone is equipped with the ability to be empathetic, they can be selfish, they can be narcissistic, they can be self-bound and sometimes when your feelings are hurt and you are surrounded by people who, voluntarily or involuntarily, don't give Notice how you feel like you are alone even in the crowd. Now Jesus is preparing his disciples to take over the world and he doesn't want them to be stingy, that's why he says it's impossible for you not to have a fence, it's impossible, that means if you tip. and be very calm and very sweet and you always do good things for everyone and you are as kind as mother teresa, that does not exempt you, you will still be offended, that means that if you change your hair and you change your dress, you will still be You will be offended if you don't believe it.

Go to social media if you lose weight. They say you're too thin. If you gain weight. They say you need to exercise more if you wear Dolly. They say you should be simple yes. you dress simple they say you need to freshen up there's always someone among the 8 billion people on the planet you're going to get on someone's nerves i don't care what you do and you can't handle the feelings of eight billion people so jesus no I want to raise 12 disciples who think that victory is managing how other people feel. Oh, that was good because for some of you victory is changing people's minds and you think if I do this well enough for long enough, right enough, short enough to get tips. in my hair, get tense in my hair, make my hair weave, make my lips fly, make my jaw fly tobeing able to stretch out my belly, take my belly and put it behind me, then when I did it, I said that out loud, I didn't do it.

I want to say that out loud, I'm sorry, we're always trying to control what people think about us and Jesus says it's impossible, it just comes down from above, slaps us in the face, bam, there's no way you can live your life. and not be offended, so you better stop running away from it, you better stop making your life's achievement into everyone liking you, I don't care what you do, no one will like you, that was one of the best. lessons my father taught me in an old red pickup truck that had a red bumper that he had gotten from the junkyard and he was coming back from a job and I was coloring the car and I was eight years old and I was having a father-son talk to him about a kid at school who didn't like me and he said boy, I don't care what you do, everyone's not going to like you staying with me all my life because we all want to be. we like it and we want to be loved and we want to live our lives without a fence because a fence is stressful it's stressful it's stressful yes I know you say you don't care but it's stressful people will tell you things that will make your hair stop growing and jesus It clearly says it's inevitable there's no way to live your life without a fence if you chew enough your teeth are going to bite your tongue I know you married Harry and he's six foot two and he's fine and he's got biceps and triceps and receptors. and cheating and all that and he's so beautiful and he treats you like a lady like you've never been treated before in your entire life and I know he's so wonderful and so thoughtful and so kind and when you look through his eyes you saw even his heart and you knew we would always love each other forever and ever until you found out that he leaves his socks on the floor and left his dirty underwear in the bathroom and you suddenly get nervous because of the way he slams his food on the table.

Could you please shut your Jew's mouth? You are cute but you have no manners. It's true. You're going to have a friend. having a fence is going to happen at some point it's going to happen to you sometimes you're going to go through some things but God cares about your emotional well-being because if you shut down emotionally it affects everything else when we go to an interview They want to know our IQ , our IQ, how smart you are. There is a measure by which we can measure the quotient by which your intelligence exists. That's fine, but there is also a coefficient by which you can begin to evaluate the emotional quotient.

Don't neglect this. This is reduced because many people with high IQs have low IQs and you contract the intelligence, but you have to live with the IQ and by the time they come to wreak havoc on your job, your life and your marriage with your children, would you take Someone with a lower IQ, if she had a slightly higher IQ, can I bring a witness here somewhere and you find out that she's cute but she's crazy? He's built like a coke bottle, but it's empty as a beer can and you find yourself in this situation where you have these people because you don't end up married to their IQ, you end up living with their IQ, yeah, and Jesus said that people get offended and how we handle the offense determines the outcome of our lives because there are no classes that teach us how to manage our eq there are no classes they do not teach that in school or universities they do not teach you to manage your emotions they do not teach you They teach that at home they teach you the ABCs and which fork to use I know which fork to use My mother spent hours teaching me which vacuum to use It's a salad for that don't eat with that food no, that's a dessert spoon eat with that dessert spoon do you hurts? the spoon goes on top of the plate this is where the glass goes this is where the bread goes you have her plate of bread she taught me all that kind of stuff I don't use any of that like your food my food any food that comes close to me runs the risk of being eliminated I wish she had spent a little more time telling me how to handle emotions.

Jesus says that if it is impossible to live without offenses, we should talk to people more about offenses instead of acting as if once you come to Jesus you will never be offended. Nobody will. ever get on their nerves and no one will take away their parking space. Some of you before you leave this building someone is going to get on your nerves and you have to be okay with that, you have to be able to deal with that because they You're sitting there talking to someone and they're holding up traffic and you have to go to work at seven o'clock. morning and she's talking and praying for someone from her car window and you can't move. her and suddenly your anointing dissipates from your baby's finger and your eyes turn red and your fangs come out and all that yeah, you know I'm right about that, he cares a lot, he cares a lot and when your feelings are hurt or injured or your body hurts the human body I have done a lot of research on this the human body cannot differentiate between physical pain and emotional pain the same secretions that come out of your body when you have emotional pain like breaking your leg, they are the same reactions that you have faced with a broken heart, but there is no medicine, so there is no treatment, we can't restore it, we can't stabilize it, we can't put it back together and Jesus is speaking. his disciples and we can eavesdrop on the conversation without the FBI, we can hear Jesus preparing his boys to go out and do the work of the kingdom and he is preparing them not to be petty because a big promised massive work cannot be done. work the land with a mean attitude you have to have a thick skin to operate for the kingdom you have to be strong to operate for the kingdom you have to have some things in place to protect you because if you are not careful the offense will turn into an distraction from the calling and you will put all your energy into resolving the offense instead of concentrating on the mission the Lord has given you and your hurt feelings will be your ballad of sand and tobias and you will give up your calling and get off your wall to discuss how you You feel and believe that you gained the victory but you lost the victory because the interruption was a distraction from the purpose of God that was in your life, so be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord and then say I don't want you to worry about That's because I'm going to take care of that.

He says that it would have been better if they tied a millstone around your neck and threw you into the sea then, so that you hurt one of my people, it sounds like my mother, my mother, I called my mother. to school because I was having trouble at school and the vice principal said she was going to call my mom and I said no, I'm not going to call my mom I'm going to call my mom a few minutes later this black woman stopped in this green imperial with his wig backwards I'm not being funny this is the truth his wig was on backwards and his eyes were red like dracula and he had fangs coming out of his mouth and I said, there's my mom.

She changed the whole meeting when Mom got out of the car. God said: I will attack you like your mother, if you hurt one of the least ones, I would. It would be better to have a millstone tied around your neck and thrown into the sea than to hurt the feelings of one of my people. feelings of the people in your life so that you don't become melancholy and careless with the way you talk to yourself because god is watching how you talk to me and even though I don't understand he gets angry, he gets angry and the revenge is not mine, but it is his , and the man says: I will pay you if you mistreat not only the important people in the front row, but the people who were behind on the balcony, he says I care what you do. mine to the parking lot attendant you did it to me oh that's okay that means god is my safety I don't have to have safety god is my safety he is my protection and that means I don't have to defend myself that means the battle doesn't it's mine it belongs to the lord it means I don't have to fill my heart with anger and take revenge and devise plans to get back at you or set you right means the battle belongs to god and god will take care of you just because he doesn't want me to be distracted from heal the sick and raise the dead and turn water into wine and preach the gospel and loosen the bonds and free the helicopter, he doesn't want me to do it. distract me from laying hands on people and watching the tumors dissipate from their bodies, he doesn't want me to be distracted from my divine task of preaching the gospel throughout the world to change the world and win people to Jesus Christ, and I can.

I won't win you over to a loving god with an angry heart while getting on your nerves. You might as well go a little deeper. Warn husbands. God cares how you treat your wife. God said if you don't treat your wife a certain way. by the way, he said your prayers will be hindered, that's scary. God says I will hinder your prayers. That means I'm looking even though you're bigger than her and even though she in most cases and Aj in most cases, uh, in many cases, see God. He says I will defend her by closing the heavens and prevent everything from going well because of the way you talk to her and if you don't want your prayers to be hindered he says exercise whatever influence you have in a measured way because I am watching and I am like the lord when I meet people for the first time and I don't know them I don't look at how they treat important people I look at how they treat people who they think are not important I look at how they treat the waitress and the bus driver and the supermarket driver and things like that because It lets me know how you'd treat me if you ever had the upper hand and I choose my friends by the way they treat people they think they don't need because the moment they stop knowing you, they'll treat you that way too, oh, this is worth the whole message, this part is worth the whole message, so pay attention if you're trying to figure out who to date, don't look at how he treats you.

You all treat everyone well in a day look at how he treats the waitress look at how he treats a person who parks your car look at how he talks to people he thinks he doesn't need or that she thinks he doesn't need and you'll get an idea of ​​the pace with which that she manages her emotions because one thing about madness will peak, it will break out, you might be covered for about two or three days, but by that third week it will start to subside. You get a glimpse that you know I'm cute but I'll attack you and his head starts spinning like the exorcist as he attacks the waitress just because the bet is already too high, just start taking notes right there, you're in trouble kid. you're going to be in trouble Jesus cares how you treat people you think you don't need he's watching how you handle them he's watching how you treat them anyone can treat someone well when you want a loan when you need an equity loan when you need an investment when you need a job when you need help when you are trying to get promoted but very few people take the time to respect the janitor the butcher the baker the candle maker the assistant you have to treat people with the same dignity because that is the commandment of the lord to you so when jesus begins to talk about this he talks about it from three perspectives he talks about his protection he talks about his purging and he talks about his provision his protection his purging and his prevention and I just received to talk about how god protects you you can al helpless to the broken to the wounded to the rejected to the ostracized to the person who has a scarlet letter on his head I want you to lift your head jesus is watching out for you for the person who has no resources and cannot afford help and cannot achieve breakthrough you need Jesus is taking care of you the person who is tied to an abusive relationship Jesus is taking care of you the person who is abused at work and in their neighborhood and in their life Jesus is taking care of you and you may not see it but sooner or later god will take care of the person who is mistreating you glory to god I feel like shouting right now I feel like praising him now I feel like giving him victory right now because if God in front of you is more than the world against you yes god is on your side he will make a way out of nothing if god is on your side he will stop the lion from biting you so that the fire does not burn you he will prevent the enemy from destroying you he will prevent the snake from biting you he will prevent the sea from drowning you if god is on your side side will open a path in the middle of the desert he will draw water for you from a rock he will open the red sea so that you can cross if God is on your side he will heal you by raising a snake in the desert if God is on your side you will be able to fight the Philistines with your jawbone from his donkey if god is on your side he will make a way out of nowhere he will put streams in the middle of your desert if god is on your side he will lift your head he will renew your strength he will encourage your heart he will renew your spirit if god is on your side he will take you out of power from the enemy will heal you even when the doctor says no if god is on your side will change the records on the counter will lift your head will make your feet his hind legs when you should have fallen will toughen you so you can get up if god is on your side will lower your fever will bring you increase your courage he will strengthen yourwill and your tenacity if god is on your side someone shouts if god then the first thing Jesus does is deal with the people who have been dealing with us and who have hurt us not necessarily physically but emotionally relieve us of the responsibility and the great weight that revenge takes on the human soul it takes a lot of weight to be vengeful and satan tempts us to be vengeful even if it's in little things like rolling your eyes when they walk into the room and I admit I've had some difficulties because when you get on my nerves nerves I want you to know and I don't want to say anything that can quote me but my eyes can't be quoted so I close my lips and go and then he comes up to me I told him you have nothing to do with it I'll take care of it of that and at the moment when he addresses my enemies he now brings it home to me, so he stops talking only about protection to talk about purging and he says that if your brother has sinned against you, he has acted against you, has hurt you or offended you and the reason I'm preaching about this is because we live in an age of offending, everyone is offended, you can't say anything about any of it. don't make anyone angry, you can tweet two plus two equals four and someone comes back and says who says who made you an expert at two plus two b and four, it doesn't actually have to be four, all the offended rich people are offended, the poor ones. people are offended black people are offended white people are offended everyone is offended women are offended men are offended now we have raised a group of children and the children are offended everyone is offended now we have to live in the same house with a group of offended people everyone has something against everyone and then we come to church and say as for me and my house we will serve the lord are you kidding me?

Get out of here you and your house don't even talk to each other your daughter is angry and her mother the dog bit the cat the cat ate the goldfish the husband and the wife don't talk to each other and don't bring your mother-in-law to this house another day on thanksgiving I will send you a plate everyone is offended and We live in a society that is dedicated to keeping us angry with each other. We live in a society that pits us against each other and tells us what we think and what we believe, and so we get offended by what we hear someone thought and how they think and how they feel and they will find someone foolish to represent that. group of people who will come up and say something stupid and then you will judge millions and millions of people by that individual and you will be offended by that individual.

I've never seen a moment like this where you can't say anything. Everyone is offended. Everyone is upset. Everyone's nerves are on edge. Everyone is upset about something. You don't even know why you're upset. We live in the land of offensive and we have a god who has told us not to allow offense to enter our spirit because you cannot have great worship and being offended affects your flow of harmony affects your connectivity affects how the holy spirit invades the room it matters if you get together with other singers it matters if the drummer likes a guitarist it changes the atmosphere when there is something against your brother the bible says leave your gift on the altar i don't care how talented you are if you have a bad attitude god said i don't want your gift until you get that bilateral connection, that horizontal connection together.

God said I don't want to hear any more vertical things coming out of your mouth while you're not talking to the person you're with. You are shouting next to God He says that it does matter what you feel for each other, can I go deeper so that he can then tell the offended person that he has moved away from the offender to talk to the offended person and when he talks to the offended person, he speaks to us Of how? remove the contamination because it is easy to become contaminated if there is no way to escape the offense then everyone here has been offended at some point another we can be honest it is difficult to get the people of the church to be honest because we have our reputation at stake and we do not want let no one know we're human, but to all the real people in the room raise your hand if you've ever been offended.

I have been offended at times and I don't read the comments because when I am Offended, I have a tendency to say something back and I have a fight inside of me to keep quiet because I can think of a lot of good things to say to you and even when I say something I have to edit it. so I could keep my day job because if I let the whole theory of what I could say answer me I would just let it flow and hit the organ markets Marcus would have to play the organ behind me when I had to tell you what I think of you .

I have to tune in and that's why I have to close my mouth now Jesus goes from talking to the offender to talking to the offended and says that if someone offends you and you confront them, I want to stop there because most of us don't have the courage to confront them. the person we are offended with you can confront people without being confrontational bury things don't heal covered wounds don't heal well oh I hit something that died I felt it at least 10 couples had a seizure I mean Absolutely there is an absolute attack, just an attack right there on the ground, covering it will never improve things.

You have to have the courage to speak up and not let anyone take your voice away. Don't let anyone talk to you. let them take your voice away because just because you're speaking doesn't mean you've changed your mind, jesus said confront them and if they repent, forgive them and the disciples were fine with that, they were fine with that and then he got in with them and said what if They do it over and over and over and over and over and then they gave it a number 70 by 70 and they did some quick math and said increase our faith because I'm good maybe a couple of times or three times or maybe even seven times , but when you go from addition to multiplication I'm not sure I don't need a touch from the lord to help me be able to do that because seven times 70 lord that's like going up in some big numbers there and I don't know, I don't know, I want I mean, I love you and everything, but I don't know, I mean, I'm not saying I won't, but I'm not sure about that.

I will do it so I don't want to commit too much and I don't want to lie to you because you know everything from the beginning and I don't want to offend anyone but I don't know if I can sign up for 7 times 70 maybe 3 times 70 but 7 times 70 might be above my quota and then they told him: increase our faith and I said to myself what does faith have to do with forgiveness. The disciples saw faith and forgiveness as interconnected. said in order to develop the ability the ability to be able to purge my heart the way I feel I need faith I need to believe that nothing you did stopped me from getting there I need to believe that my destiny is not altered by The things you said, did, left or you didn't give me, I need to irrevocably decide that God's promises are yes and amen and that no man or woman who comes, goes, leaves, stays, pays or cares can stop them. prevent me from reaching the destiny that God has for me, in fact, I need to believe that it was good for me that I was afflicted in some way that God used what you did to fertilize my dreams and I became stronger now and richer now and Better now and fuller now and I have to learn to glory in tribulation.

I have to dance when they accuse me falsely. I have to learn to praise God even when you don't like him. My defense is. believe god and say devil you meant it for evil but god made it good to god be the glory you threw me in the pit you threw me in Potiphar's house you put me in prison and I landed the prince of Egypt I still got to where I was trying to go , you didn't help me, but I made it, you lied to me and I made it, you betrayed me and I made it, you left me and I made it, you excommunicated me from the family and I made it, you said I was dead but I'm back I'm back I'm back I'm back back is there anyone who has come back through something?

I straightened up and recovered now you are talking about a victory when you've been through hell and you've been thrown into a pit and you've come out of a prison and you've been through a storm and you've been through a crisis and you've been alienated and rejected and you landed on your feet, you talk about a scream, you talk of a dance, you talk about what to run, you talk about wanting to leave.

I wish I had 30 people who have been through something and God brought you out to put your open hands together. your mouth dances on your feet do a cartwheel stand on your head let hell know i made it anyway i made it anyway to god be the glory for the things he's done let's make a statement there let's make a statement this night that will make the demons run out of every door out of the room we are going to make a declaration tonight that will take the depression out of your spirit suicide will have to flee this room anxiety and hypertension will have you get up and leave this room here glory to God look at your neighbor and tell him I'm going to be fine tell your other neighbor that I'm going to be fine hell gets nervous hell gets nervous when you start talking faith demons start shaking when you start talking about faith witches lose their power when you start talking about faith disease loses this control when you start talking about faith high blood pressure goes down when you start talking about faith plumers shrink in your body when you start talking about faith I wish I was 30 seconds of crazy supernatural holy ghost tell everyone around here I'm going to land on my feet I'm going to land on my face I'm going to land on my feet It's my first year in college but I'm a land on my feet I just moved to Tulsa but I'm a land on my feet my feet.

I'm looking for a job, but I'm going to land on my feet. I'm not sure I got the student loan, but I have some ground on my feet. I'm nervous about going to class, but I'm a rock on my feet. I started my own business, but I'm a rock on my feet. I don't have enough capital. I am a land on my feet. I'm raising my children. alone but I'm a land on my feet this is the first time I've tried to own something but I'm going to land on my feet if you don't help me I'll land on my feet if you don't stand with me I'll land on my feet if you let me I'll land on my feet if they scandalize my name I'll land standing up I don't know who I'm preaching to but I'm talking to someone tonight the Lord sent me from Dallas, Texas to tell you you're going to land on your feet you're going to land on your feet so sit with me I'm not done yet sit with me I'm just warming up now Glory to God, I just entered the zone baby, don't you see those demons running out that door right now?

Don't you see them sleeping outside that window? Don't you see the demons coming out of the way when Jesus says? no one except the pure in heart will see god the word pure comes from a greek word where we have clogged catheters is a word the root of the word is catheter where we get catheter no one except the pure in heart no one except people who have a catheter in their The heart will see God, a catheter through which they measure your heart to make sure that the blood is flowing correctly and that there are no blockages.

A catheter. I won't tell you about the other use, but all the men were like, oh, yeah, yeah, catheters are designed for that. you have a flow and God says I want your heart to be open to a flow and I don't want you to allow any blockage to enter your heart because if you allow a blockage to enter your heart it will prevent you from seeing. God, no one but the pure in heart will see God, if that's not enough motivation to make you take it out, I don't know what is, I'm not sure if he meant no one but the pure in heart will go to heaven, but I'm sure It means you won't be able to see God in your situation if your heart is blocked by unforgiveness and I need to see God to figure out how to get through the desert so I can move when he moves.

I can walk when he walks so I can flow when he flows so I can walk when he walks I have to see God if I don't see you because he shows me the way his word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path and if I let something gets into my catheter a catheter in my heart will affect my eyes god says no one except the pure in heart will see god god says if you put it in your heart it will hinder your vision so the enemy sends things to Get into your heart to close your vision.

Oh my god, this is so good. I'm going to scream. My own preacher. God said. He made your heart flow. I made your heart flow without restrictions. I don't want you to accumulate plaque or anything else that will slow down the flow because everything God does is in a flow, everything God created was in a flow when God created the earth, he created it in a flow and the river spread the streams and the streams fed the lakes and the lakes fed the ocean. and god did not create new water he simply left his flow he goes up it rains down it goes up it rains is a flow everything that god created has a flow when god created man from the dust of the earth he did not have to do it he continues to create blood, he let Blood will flow through the more elaborate highway system you call the cardiovascular system.

Your blood was made to flow and I don't have to check your heart to see if your flow is correct. I can touch your wrists andtell you. What is happening in your heart? Because the pulse, the rhythm of your pulse, tells me the activity of your heart and God said that if things are shutting down, the first thing I want you to do is check your heart. What have you allowed into your heart? that has closed your vision so if I were the devil and I wanted to close your vision I wouldn't have to attack your eyes if none of the pure in heart see god then all I had to do is pollute your heart until you lost your vision and if you lost the vision you couldn't find the way out and the reason Jesus says 7 times 70 is not a particular number that he is looking for, he is talking about keeping your heart open so that no matter what happens, you keep flowing, you keep flowing. maybe you have the feeling but as fast as you can let it flow don't let things stay inside and contaminate you and block you let me show you how fast Jesus was they beat him beyond recognition they beat him to the core they were hanging out, he They beat for so long that Josephus says he should have died on the whipping post, but if he had died on the whipping post, we would not have been redeemed because the Bible says, cursed is he who hangs on the tree, not the whipping post. spanking then he fought death on the whipping post refusing to die, but when they hung him high and stretched him out and nailed him to his right hand and nailed him to his left wrist and nailed his feet together and when they put him in the cross, Jesus is not on the cross cursing him yelling at him saying I curse your unborn children I curse your future I curse your destiny I curse your mother Jesus didn't say that he probably would have said Jesus yes don't judge me Jesus wouldn't say that instead of allowing them to contaminate his heart while they kill him, he says father, forgive them because they don't know what they are doing, he said, I will keep my heart open no matter what happens.

I'm going to keep loving I'm going to keep my nature You're not going to change my nature from being the person I am You're not going to turn the lamb into a lion I could call 10,000 angels and kill every last one of you but I'm not going to do it because a lion can't set people free I have to be a lamb to do this and to be a lamb I have to forgive you while you drive nails into my hand, oh my God, that's shouting things, glory to God, I wish I had a church of the south here right now.

I'm going to outsmart the devil. I'm going to outsmart the devil. You are trying to change my nature. You're trying to convert me. Turn me into a lion but I cannot redeem myself as a lion I can only redeem myself as a lamb and to be a lamb even though you are stabbing me I will forgive you because I understand that it is not you who is doing it it is the spirit of the enemy that is working through you and I ask my father to forgive you for hurting me because I know it really wasn't you, if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't hurt me like that, just following orders and the orders come from satan and I'm under attack and why would I fight the soldier when the war is not with the soldier but with the enemy and the enemy is trying to get me to ruin what I'm doing? what you're about to do on the cross, I don't know who I'm talking to, but the enemy is trying to mess up what you're about to do in your ministry and the reason you're under attack is because he wants you to do it.

It contaminates your heart and the Lord sent me from the palace to tell you, don't do it, don't get bitter, don't get even, don't get angry, don't get angry, don't respond, don't react, be silent. I know you seem weak, I know you seem helpless, I know you know something you could say, I know you can fight, I know you can defend yourself, but this is not a battle that you are going to win with your fist, because we do not fight against the flesh. and blood but against powers and principalities and spiritual evil in the highest places the weapons we use are not carnal you have a weapon to fight and there Jesus is bleeding on the cross speaking of father forgive them he is interceding for the murderers glory to God that is what It means with 7 times 70.

Later in the scriptures he will tell us less a root of bitterness contaminates you a root a root a bitterness of courage they gave him frankincense and myrrh which were roots so there are roots that can anesthetize the pain and there are other roots that they can contaminate you you are carrying a root of bitterness because if you do it will contaminate you I am almost where I want to be you are still with me you are still not tired of me and so they said Lord increase our faith increase our faith until we believe you when our feelings are hurt anyone can believing you when they are happy increases our faith until we believe you when we suffer when the nails are in our wrist when we have been publicly humiliated when we are at our wit's end we increase our faith to believe that something good is going to come out of this.

I remember one time I was under attack and it was very bad and it was very painful and it's the only time in my life. Have I ever been curled up in a corner of the ground crying and right next to me and I took a walk in my backyard and I was crying and I was walking in the backyard and I was talking to God and I said no I don't know why you let me This is going to happen to me and I don't know why you let this continue in my life and I don't know why you let me go through what I'm going through I said but I want you to know that I trust you I trust you I trust you and if you ordered me to go through this I'll go through whatever you want me to go through to be whoever you want me to be because I know you love me and I know you know what's best for me and even if you kill me, will I trust you?

I was crying and could barely see the path I was walking on, but I told God that I will pass this test because I trust you, I trust. I trust you when things are going well I trust you when things go bad I trust you when you make me happy I trust you when you make me cry because I am convinced by the ordeal that you are in love with me and you cannot be in love with me and do something that will end badly and I trust you, I trust you with tears running down my face, I trust you and the more I say, I trust you, the more demons start to scream and shake, I trust you, I don't.

I don't understand you but I trust you I don't see the plan but I trust you You've broken my heart but I trust you It's painful but I trust you I want to talk to everyone who has ever lost someone lost something lost a loved one you went through a difficult time you don't have to understand god to trust him you need to let hell know I trust him I trust him that somehow this will work out for my good if you've been going through a very painful time put your hands in the air and praise to God because you trust him, I trust you, I trust you in this season, I trust you in this season, I trust you when I lose my job, I trust you when my loan was not approved.

I trust you when people rise up against you. I trust you when things didn't go the way I wanted. I trust you when I didn't bring home a medal from the Olympics. I trusted you when I lost the ball. in the field I still trust you I trust you order my steps in your word dear lord order my steps in your word order my steps in your word dear lord order your order my steps in your word order my steps in your word someone tramples on your foot order my steps order my steps order my steps order my steps I will not break my cadence I will not break my flow I will not break my movement I will not break my regimen I will not break my future I am I will continue doing what you told me to do.

Dry these tears. I can not stop crying. You have to try these tears. But if you drive, I'll preach for you. If you drive. I'll sing for you if you drive. up I will dance for you if you are driving on something if you drive sing for you if you drive up I will run for you if you drive I will jump for you if you drive I will preach the gospel around the world if you drive, I will teach Bible clan in other nations or countries if you drive, I will help the poor if you drive I'll feed the hungry if you drive I'll shut down the naked if you're drunk so he deals with us he's that good so he treated us protection he treated us like purge and then he deals with us with prevention and this is the prevention part and it's a little strange, it says if you have faith increase our faith lord they thought that the greater the faith the better the fight will be and jesus is not going to take as much faith he said if you have faith like a mustard seed now look at this before than he said you will speak to the mountain and the mountain will be thrown into the sea but this time he said that if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will speak to a sycamore tree and order it to be thrown into the ocean and it will be thrown into the sea. ocean and it will be eliminated and I told him why did you go from a mountain to a tree and he said because a mountain has no roots so I started digging in a cigarette tree and I want to tell you Can I tell you?

Can I tell someone? Does anyone want to know what cigarette a sycamore tree is a very unique tree, it's not that the roots grow deep only about 24 inches deep in the ground, but they grow long, they grow long, they take over territory and when they grow, they twist and they get tangled. and that's why it's almost impossible to uproot the tree because the roots are twisted and wide, so when a sycamore tree grows it's not the trunk you have to worry about, but the root and jesus says oh, i feel like the god holy spirit said yes You have faith like a mustard seed I will demolish the system that has you stuck you tried to let go and you couldn't let go you tried to pray to let go and you couldn't let go you tried to talk get out of this and you couldn't let go the reason why you couldn't let go It is that your roots are intertwined, the only thing that will untangle your roots is your conviction of faith in God, he said, if you have faith like a mustard seed, I will untangle the system.

Can I enter the system? You are hurt by your husband because your husband hurts you but he roots it in something that happened with your father and now, suddenly, everyone reminds you of your father. It becomes tied to the system and now you are raising a son and he is taking on characteristics like your ex-husband and the enemy is tangling your roots. Am I helping someone? If I'm helping you, shout out to me if you notice your life has changed. a system of attack there is something consistent in the dna of the things that happen to you they are the roots of the sycomono and they become tangled until you cannot take what you cannot distinguish one from the other and the same thing that happened to you before is happening to you again and what happened to your father is happening to you and what your uncle went through is now happening to your son and you can see a pattern because the sycamore roots go crazy, go crazy. wide they touch your father they touch your wife they touch your son they touch your nephew they touch your nieces they affect your job they affect your finances they affect your leadership they affect every area of ​​your life it affects how you manage money it affects your business it affects your future because the roots are intertwined that is why Jesus did not ask for the mountain because when it comes to forgiveness the mountains have no roots and unforgiveness has roots and the roots are the roots of bitterness and bitterness gets so tangled that sometimes you even forget why You're angry, you're just angry, everything is tangled, but the holy spirit said tonight, I'm going to untangle your roots, I'm going to set you free, I'm going to take you to a place of wholeness.

I'm going to take you to a place of healing. I'm going to take you to a place of restoration. I am going to untangle patterns that have been happening for generations and generations in your life.
