Get In Position - Touré Roberts

3:18 Many of you may know. that was a mixed sound like when they were rebuilding the temple some were rejoicing because of what was going to be others were groaning because of the oh there was a mixed sound uh for 30 days starting today those who are in agreement were giving up processed sugar and giving up process. Those are in agreement.

3:53 I will say this. If you are not in agreement, this is not necessarily a fast. If you don't know the history, I don't want to take up too much time to unpack it. You can click the QR code, but essentially, I know that ultimately, we all know that ultimately processed sugar is not good for us. hello somebody it's not good for us and and you can trace some of our sicknesses and disease from diabetes to high blood pressure and all that sort of stuff you can trace it back to processed sugar it is what it is I'm not judging you or trying to convict you it just is so I went on a search I just did a just a little research and said hey if I gave up processed sugar for all of 2026, what would happen? And of course, all the health benefits came up and that was all wonderful, but there was something that popped out at me that I didn't expect. And it was, you will have better mental clarity during a time when God has me speaking about clarity.

4:59 And so I said, okay, God, and there were some other confirmations. And so we're going on that journey. Even if you decide you don't want to do it like that, I think that right now we need to be clearer than we've ever been. Hello, somebody. And so join us in some sort of way for the month of March. I encourage you to try this clarity challenge. This is going to be powerful. We're going to have a guide. We're going to track the progress. There's a guide for that. There will be a sub stack on sub stack, an article I've written every single day to come through. I think we're going to be clear. But again, if you don't want to go that route, just at least, and it's almost in alignment somewhat with Lent anyway, leading up to Easter. So let's really, really do everything we can to be clear. And I'll tell you right now, I'm not going to be eating no processed sugar. And if you decided you don't want to go that route, just know I'm going to be clearer than you.

5:54 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. All right. I'm going to be clearer than you. Haggai chapter 2. I started this conversation in LA last week and God says I'm still saying it and he's given it to me in a way that will be different but very much for us. Haggai chapter 2, 6 and 9, for 2, 6 through 9, for thus says the Lord of hosts, once more, it is a little while, I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land, and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the desire of all nations.

6:52 That's so powerful. I will shake all nations and they shall come to the desire of all nations. Really quickly, that is the Lord saying, even if they do not know what they desire, I'm it. even if they do not know what they hunger and thirst for, it's me. Oh, I cannot wait to get into this. It says, I will shake all nations. I will shake all nations.

7:30 And then it says, and they will come to the desire of all nations. I'm so tempted to just do it right here and now. And I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine and the gold is mine, says the Lord of hosts. Right here, though. the glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former says the Lord of hosts and in this place I will give peace says the Lord of hosts Lord we love you so much may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight.

8:38 God, I thank you for wisdom, revelation, insight, knowledge, prophecy, and all of heaven's resources to help to communicate this word in a way, God, that will be prophetic and divinely prolific to the effect that there would be a stirring in the hearts and the minds of your sons and daughters, that the gift of God would be stirred up, and that there would be an activation that would bring about an alignment that will produce glory in their lives, through their lives, and throughout all the earth as a result. We love you and thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.

9:29 Please be seated. Say something kind to someone around you as you're being seated. Hallelujah. I want to take this moment to honor our bishop, my father, my friend, our champion, our king,

9:51 builder, coverer, protector, guider, wisdom giver, strength. We'll fight off lions and bears for those he loves. We love you and honor you, sir. And of course, our forever first lady, our mother, our intercessor, our prayer warrior, our strength, our model, our example. We love you both so very, very much. And with each passing day, we appreciate you all the more. Hallelujah. I want to talk from this conversation theme, if you would. And it's a prophetic declaration. And my belief is that when you hear these three words, it will resonate in your spirit in a way that bypasses your intellect, but will hit you deep down in a spiritual place.

10:47 And these words are not just a title or a theme. They are a divine command and an instruction whereby if you align with this command and instruction, something is going to be unleashed in and through your life unlike ever before. And the three words that are a proclamation and a declaration are these three words, get in position. get in position. There are a couple of words that were translated time in Scripture, in the Greek in particular. Two words, chronos is one of the words, and the other one is kairos. And they are distinct primarily in this chronos, is where we get our English word chronological, and so really it has to do with time and that sort of time, where kairos is more about an appointed time, a set time.

11:47 And you'll see that word used like in Galatians 4 and 4, it talks about when the fullness of time had come. And so we've got time like, you know, it is now 9.30. somewhere it is 9 30 and so you have chronological time and then you have the process and the process of time or a divine's time it's almost like god's calendar when the scripture talks about how the vision is for an appointed time that's dealing with kairos and here's why that is significant to where we're going today. It means that God has a timing element that sometimes we don't understand or know. I've got to say this right. So it's like Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world, and yet there was a moment in time for that reality to come forth.

12:55 So kairos is about a moment in time, a predestined and pre-appointed moment in time where things are supposed to be what God predestined for them to look like. so so in other words god holds times and seasons in his hands and he has an expectation of what he creates to look like a certain thing at a certain time that's why it can say at the time you ought to be teachers that's hebrews 5 at the time you ought to be teachers you need to be taught so so in god's kairos he has an expectation based on what he created because he created us with kairos assigned to us.

13:54 Play with me. So in a particular moment, and not just us, all of creation, times and seasons. So there are things that shock us, but do not shock God. In fact, there's nothing that shocks God because God declares the end from the beginning. And the fact that we are shocked corroborates the fact that his thoughts are not our thoughts, and his ways are not our ways.

14:23 So we get shocked. Oh my God. And God is never, oh my God, he's God. Are you tracking with me? The reason why this is important is because it speaks to the fact that we need to be always seeking to be aligned with God's timing.

14:46 Track with me today. So let me just say this right now. The latter glory will be greater than the former glory. and in context he's talking about a latter temple we know a temple was destroyed and rebuilt he's talking about that in context but in prophecy he's talking way beyond the temple Jesus described himself as the temple tear this temple down and three days I'll build it up again so the temple as we know Bishop taught about it wonderfully for years and still does the temple was actually pointing to Jesus so when we start talking about latter glory we're not just talking about the glory of a temple we're talking about ultimately the glory of Christ and then his body, the body of Christ, represents the temple if you study it.

15:46 And then later on, it says we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. So this latter glory, which will be greater than the former glory, really ultimately comes down to us, who we will be. Track with me. I promise it will make sense. And so the reality or the term, the good old days, although I can appreciate the sentiment, is inaccurate.

16:20 To long for yesterday is to violate this word. because this word says that the glory of the latter is going to be greater than the glory of the former. And the Bible says that we go from glory to glory. Come on, somebody. And I get it good old days. There are a lot of things that I like and a lot of things that I wish, but in God's wisdom, he is saying that the best is still yet to come. Are we tracking?

17:01 And so this is a posture. Just turn to your neighbor and say the latter will be greater. Now, now, that was the good news. here is the challenging news, and it's right there in the text. The text talks about glory in the backdrop of shaking.

17:28 Come on, let's look at it. Let's look at it real quick. Track with me. Can we have a little fun while we're telling the truth today? It says, For thus saith the Lord of hosts once more. He starts off, he gets to glory. But he starts with shaking. I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land, and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the desire of all nations, and I will fill this temple with glory. And then he goes on by saying that the latter glory is going to be greater than the former glory. don't overlook what's being spoken he is saying that glory requires shaking successive levels of glory require shaking meaning watch this that the shaking is the administrator of glory Oh, you're going to get it today.

18:48 Shaking is the administrator of glory. Why? Why, why, why? Because glory requires alignment. glory requires divine alignment that's why it says in first corinthians 3 and 18 it talks about how we as we behold the lord as in a mirror we're being transformed into that image transformation is movement come on we're being transformed into that image as we behold the lord as in a mirror we're being transformed into that image we're changing and it says from glory to glory so so as we change glory follows oh you're gonna get it i'm just laying the foundation and get it and we see that glory follows a pattern when moses goes on top of the mountain and spends time in the presence of god god does not tell him go down there and build whatever you feel Thank you.

20:20 he reveals to him a pattern, a blueprint, what it's going to take in order to fill the tabernacle with glory. This is not what you think. This is not how you feel. This is not about what you think you have or what you think you can do. This Moses has to be like this. He comes back down from the mountain with a pattern, with a design. And when he implements the pattern and the design, what shows up as a result? Glory. Track with me. So glory, watch this, is not attracted to misalignment. Oh, you're going to get it today.

21:18 Stay with me. Glory, Marashavu, does not respond to misalignment. Glory is very specific. You know the story when they were bringing the ark back to Jerusalem? Come on, Bible people, you know this story. It seemed like a small thing. I believe it was Uzzah who was mishandling the cart. It seemed like a small thing and he died. Why? Because God is committed to glory. It has to be the way he says. And sometimes to get it away from what you think and into what he knows requires a shaking. and we don't like it pero we need it we need it because we are seeing through a glass darkly we're not seeing as clearly it gets clearer as we go but we're not seeing clearly so we are content to be here when the glory is going to fall there.

22:40 and so because the lord loves you he will shake you to get you into the place of alignment where the glory can be manifest are you tracking with me this morning and this is why the shaking which is about movement which is that which moves us into position is sometimes the greatest thing that can ever happen to you because you and I are content in staying where we are comfortable, staying where we know everything, staying in these places. And God is saying, I hear you, but there's a lot of glory and I got to shake you to push you. into where I need you to be. Show me anybody in the Bible that didn't have to move to get into alignment and to experience glory from Abraham all the way on down.

23:42 Shaking. Yes, sir. If you ain't shaking in some area right now in your life, I'm a little suspect of your anointing. I'm a little suspect. If something ain't shaking somewhere, those he loves he chastens because I got to shake you to get you into position because we are in a Kairos moment this is not a time for us to be playing out of order we've got to be in position Adam Adam, where are you?

24:35 Am I Shiva? Adam, Adam, Adam, where art thou? Here's what's crazy. What is God asking him? Because he is in the garden. He didn't leave the garden. So it's not about physicality. It's not about physicality. It's about perspective. You moved, Adam. You moved. Watch this. You move. You're covering yourself. Your perspective, your paradigm, how you move, how you think, how you function. Watch this.

25:33 You are no longer sensitive to my voice. Where are you? I can't find you. and what is worse is you can't find me You're covering yourself, watch this, when my glory was your covering when you were in position. I'm talking about the connection between alignment being in position and glory God has always required pattern before glory that's why Jesus said not my will but your will because your will is connected to the pattern that I am ignorant to.

26:39 So I trust, hear me, I trust the shaking and where the shaking leads me because you know where I'm supposed to be, how I'm supposed to think and be and move, and I trust you. This was the sentiment of Job, though you slay me. because somehow that slaying of me is in the will of God. It is the prescription for my alignment. Stay with me. Stay with me. And so, let me give a definition for alignment.

27:26 Alignment is when everyone, and consequently everything, is lining up as God purposed before the world began. Let me give you a definition of alignment. Oh, there it is. You can screenshot it. Alignment is when everyone, watch this, and consequently everything. What do you mean by that, PT? What do you mean everyone and consequently everything? When you are in alignment, what you produce is aligned.

28:00 See, God doesn't want us to just be in alignment for the sake of alignment. He wants us to be in alignment so that we can be fruitful and multiply and produce from that place of alignment. Are you hearing me? So what you do when you are out of position is different from what you do when you're in position. we tracking so it's when everyone and everything is lining up as god purposed before the world began and so and so you have to pursue it why do you think that i am pursuing clarity by any means necessary in this season. It ain't about a book. It is about the backdrop of the world right now and what the backdrop is speaking to me. The backdrop is speaking to me that we're getting close.

29:00 hello somebody and i don't want to be distracted confused misaligned in my feelings and my emotions being manipulated by this source and that source i need clarity are you hearing me when we have i talk about all the time when we have so many things pointed at us trying to get us to think one way or the other and the arguments get more compelling and seductive by the day there is a strategy to have you confused and pulled in one direction or pulled in another direction you're mad one day and happy the next day you align with this one day and misaligned Listen, I need clarity.

29:56 I need the voice of God to steer me through this season. I'm not playing no games. If I got to give up sugar, so be it. I will do everything that is available to me to be clearer than I've ever been. I don't want nothing manipulating me, not even sugar. you've got to be hungry and thirsty and desperate for clarity in these times in shabbat bible says those who know their god shall be strong and carry out exploits i need to know my god i will fast i will pray i will read my word i will seek his faith i'm gonna be clear in this season i'm gonna be clear you're not gonna be playing games with my emotions and playing games with my head and playing games with my decisions.

30:56 The devil is a liar. Did God send you? And the only way I'm going to know whether or not God sent you is if I have an intimate relationship with the voice of the Lord and I'll do whatever it takes to get there. Are you tracking with me today? You've got to pursue alignment. You've got to pursue it. You've got to pursue it. You've got to learn how to recognize it. man there ain't nothing like knowing that you're in alignment with God and you don't have to guess it there's a sensing you are and you know there's a sensing when you ain't when you're in alignment with God there's a flow that comes to you and stuff watch this that was about toil flows like oil. Are you hearing the words that are coming out of my mouth? It gets oily. You're like, wow, this was hard, but I just speak it and it opens up and you don't even have to explain yourself.

32:03 Stuff just starts moving towards you. and it just feels like all of creation is cooperating with you Can we talk for a minute? It feels like all of creation. is working with you. And you're like, God's up to something. because everywhere I turn, there's a flow. See, that's the Bible. Because Romans 8, 19, one of my favorite passages in the Scripture, says, for the earnest expectation of creation, watch this, is eagerly waiting for the revealing of sons. Watch this.

32:58 Notice it didn't say Christians. Porque you can be a Christian and not a son. Because a Christian is just a title. that we gave ourselves. and the intention is good but sometimes the expression isn't you're tracking with me so so the bible says that the earnest expectation of the creation watch this the creation what is the creation the creation is everything that god made some people with good intentions misdefine the universe as god the universe is the creation it was created by God and it gets a little tricky because in that context the universe the creation has personality it is eagerly in expectation so it has personality and here's where it gets deep and I pray you know well you'll track with me here's where it gets deep is when you are in alignment God begins to funnel things to you through creation so you start thanking creation oh God, I thank the universe for this and I thank the universe for that.

34:24 And I know how you got there, you're just a little ignorant. Because creation, come on somebody, is just the mail delivery service. The mail came from God and he used creation to get it to you. And you praising the vehicle. That's like me faking the mailman for my check. I thank you for bringing it. I mean, not really because if you didn't bring it, somebody else would bring it. Because God was going to make sure that what he had for me got to me. Are we tracking? And when you are in alignment, when you are in alignment, creation starts cooperating. but creation will not cooperate with a false you because creation recognizes truth it's almost like we used to say in the neighborhood game recognizes game So all of creation, the earnest expectation of creation, that means that creation is leaning in expectation toward the revealing of you, the real you, the you that is in alignment.

36:02 We together. So, so, Michael, stuff all of a sudden starts falling into place. Stuff that was been hard for 10 years, 5 years, 10 months, 20 years, 30 years. All of a sudden, you get into alignment, and he begins to restore the years that the locusts have eaten. Stuff that you thought was lost all of a sudden begins to come back into alignment. And you were blessed just as if you were in position the whole time. That's why we can't cast away our confidence.

36:41 Watch this. That's Hebrews 10.35. It says, cast not therefore away your confidence. In the Greek, expectation, literally. It says, wherein, in that expectation, there is great reward. Watch this. It says, you are in need of patience. That, watch this. after you have done the will of God. That's alignment.

37:05 You're in need of patience through the shaking. You are in need of patience through the discomfort. You are in need of patience through the process that I take you through. Because all I gotta do is get you in position. And once I get you into position, everything I promise concerning your life is gonna show up. If you believe that, give God about seven seconds of worship. Thank you. I gotta get in position. I gotta get into alignment. I gotta get into my spot. I've gotta take my place. All of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. This means that sons must be revealed.

38:08 And don't get caught up on the terminology and the gender, because this is way above gender. This is spiritual, heavenly, kingdom language. The scripture doesn't make any reference at all that there'll be male and female in heaven. The Bible says we'll be like angels. So don't even get caught there. When I'm talking about sonship, I'm talking about position of authority.

38:36 And notice he says, the scriptures say, that the sons have to be revealed, have to be manifest. It speaks to a process. So creation is leaning in, waiting for you to become you from glory to glory through your willing to be aligned with God. but let's go further it says all of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God well then who are the sons of God well let me make it practical and real for you earlier he tells you in Romans 8 14 he says for as many as are led by the spirit of God these are the sons of God.

39:31 This is important. This is important. In this season, we are going to have to have an extremely intentional relationship with the Holy Spirit unlike ever before because the Holy Spirit leads us, watch this, both in alignment and to alignment.

40:01 How do I get, because that's a legitimate question. PT, you're talking about alignment. How do I get into alignment? How do I know if I'm in alignment? Well, I'm glad you asked the question. It's not your job. It's the Holy Ghost job. so so i have to watch this so i have to learn to yield to the holy spirit and you have to and you do have to yield to the holy spirit over in hebrews chapter 12 where the writer is talking about he's referencing the hagai scripture what he talks about he talks about how everything that let me just paraphrase everything that can be shaken will be shaken so that that which cannot be shaken will remain. And it talks about how we're receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, and I'll talk about that maybe in a minute. But what's taking place is the Spirit, before it talks about everything that can be shaken, will be shaken, it talks about, it says, see not that you refuse him who speaks. That's very, very powerful. In that the Hebrews version of the prophecy about shaking, he says in the context of shaking, it says, see that you refuse him who speaks, meaning that the shaking is God speaking. Oh, I'm going to teach today. You better catch it.

41:26 Misha, hear me? God speaks through shaking. And we blame the devil for the shaking. even if it was the devil God used him because even the devil is God's devil you need some bible don't play with me we go right to job have you considered my servant job he said god says it to the devil even the devil is god's devil he's in full control Watch this. And use the devil to get Job to a greater glory in the end.
