Nothing Into Something - Sarah Jakes Roberts

0:25 for those of you, if you have your Bible, I say this all the time, but I'm making it a habit to bring my Bible with me. And I know it can be so easy to use your iPad or your cell phone, and this is no shade if you're doing that at all. But it dawned on me that sometimes I get rich word from the Lord, and there's some scriptures that stand out to me. And I wanted to have a Bible where I could highlight them and put sticky notes in them so that I could leave an inheritance to my children that really, really matters. And so I'm building my Bible to leave for my children. And I want to encourage those of you who sometimes use your devices to use your actual word, even when you're at home. How many of you have gone to reach for the Bible and a text message came through or a headline came through and it distracted you? This ensures that there are no distractions and that you can highlight and keep in one space what God is saying to you. And so I was trying to kill a little time for those of you who have your word to make your way to Exodus 31. It should be pretty simple to find. There goes Genesis, and then we write up in that thing. You know what I mean?

1:40 We're in Exodus 31. I want to give you a little bit of context. Moses, who many of us are familiar with the story of Moses who was drawn out of the river, a Hebrew child, and raised in Pharaoh's house, is having an encounter with the Lord on Mount Sinai. The Lord found Moses when he was in Midian and told him, I need you to go back to Egypt so that you can free my people. And reluctant obedience is still obedience. Moses finds his way back to Egypt. He delivers the people and he's taking them through this journey through the wilderness. And it is not an easy journey. And initially, we think the journey is just about getting them from point A to point B. But at this point in the text, we learn that there is a plan, a strategy in the journey, and that God has in his infinite wisdom decided that they wouldn't just travel from Egypt to Canaan, to the promised land, but that they would build a tabernacle on the way in the middle of the wilderness.

2:48 And if you were to flip through a few chapters before Exodus 31, you would see starting in about Exodus 24 that the Lord lays out in intricate details what this tabernacle is supposed to look like. I encourage you all to read it in your spare time or at least skim through it just to see how intentional God is about building this dwelling place. One of the things I love is that he tells it to Moses when Moses has gone up to the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. He communes with God, and the Lord tells him his strategy. When we enter the text in Exodus 31, the Lord is just at the end of laying out the template for the tabernacle. And verse 1 begins, it says, Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3:48 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. And I indeed have appointed with him Aholiab, the son of Ashishamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you. God has not just given him the template for building the tabernacle, but he's also let him know that he has given him resources that he may not have realized were there in order to build the tabernacle. So this message, Nothing Into Something, is a revelation that God has given me that I believe is going to be helpful for those of you who God is calling to build, whether they are ministries or businesses or just a different version of yourself. Last week, we talked about doing something unnatural, and I want to talk a little bit about what it takes to build nothing into something. Spirit of the living God, you know I need you, and I know you're here.

5:19 So i'm asking that where anxiety where nerves where fear where doubt or worry would try to distract me from your presence That you would remove it now in the name of jesus God and i'm asking that not just for me, but for everyone who is connected to this word That they would have a divine encounter with you that fills them to the overflow That they would leave this place with clarity with power with strength with peace god and that you would release us to build with our hearts, with our minds, with our hands, that which you have assigned to us. God, I thank you for your spirit resting in this room. I thank you for chains being broken. I thank you for deliverance taking place in this room. May we be sensitive to your spirit. May we acknowledge your pace and may we move at the speed of your word. Bless this word and bless your people. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.

6:23 Let's go to work. In a minute, I'm going to read 2 Timothy 1, verses 6-7. But I want it to be known that this text, this scripture in 2 Timothy, really it's powerful all on its own. And for many of you, it's not unfamiliar. but I really want to take a minute and paint a picture of what's happening at the time that this text is written. Paul, who was one of the most devout Jews who persecuted believers of the way or what we now call Christians, has this encounter with the Spirit of God, this encounter with Jesus that radically changes him. And all of a sudden, the one who was once persecuting Christians has now had an encounter with God that instantly changes him. And now he is the most well-known evangelist. He's written half of the New Testament. He begins to preach the gospel all throughout Asia and all throughout that Middle Eastern Greco-Roman region. He begins to preach the gospel. And he's in this unique position because he has Roman citizenship.

7:49 This is important because I need you to understand that there were certain things that he could do as a Roman citizen that other people could not do. There were certain trials that he had to face with a certain judicial process that other people could not experience. And so I wish I could say this real good, but God used the infrastructure of Roman citizenship and Roman politics to create a platform that would allow Paul to preach the gospel without hindrance. God set a stage for Paul to do his work and then release Paul into a world where he could do it with ease. But the times are shifting when he writes this letter. And the emperor of the time, the emperor Nero, he's a tricky emperor, and there's been this great fire that was his fault. And in order for him to have a scapegoat and to not take responsibility for the fire so that he could keep his standing with the people, he blames the fire on Christians. So where Paul once had rights as a Roman citizen, now he's experiencing a prejudice, a persecution, because he is a Christian, the times have changed. What he could once do with ease, it now comes with more complexity.

9:13 What he could once do with ease, he now does with a certain level of persecution. What once came easy to him is now a threat for him to continue functioning in the way that he once did. And so it is with that background that he writes this letter to Timothy. And why he's writing this letter to Timothy is because Timothy is his mentee and Timothy has watched him go from region to region and be successful. But Timothy sees that he's now entering into a stage where the times have shifted and he's no longer going to be able to function in the way that he wants function. And Paul, knowing Timothy, knowing that Timothy can be scared easily, knowing that Timothy could easily go back into being a shell of himself, he writes a letter to Timothy. Not because he's afraid for Timothy. He writes a letter because he wants to make sure that Timothy maintains his posture, his position, and his anointing even when the times are changing. Because Paul understands that the times are changing. And when times begin to change, that can change you if you are not intentional. He understands that a changing of the times may change the way that you think about your anointing. It may change the way you think about your purpose. It may change the way you think about your calling. And so he's writing this letter because now is not a time for you to change.

10:42 Now is not a time for you to forget what God has given you. Now is not a time for you to lose your focus. Now is not a time for you to be afraid into paralysis. Now is not a time for you to forget what God has placed on the inside of you. And so in 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 6, when he says, therefore to Timothy, he says, therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God. Come on now, think about it. I know you're afraid. I know you're nervous. I know the times are changing. I know you're worried that you won't be able to function in the way that you're used to functioning, but I'm telling you, don't let the gift of God settle on the bottom. Oh, they use that word stir. And if you, if you ever juice, you know, or you got fresh squeezed orange juice, they tell you to shake it well, right? Because the pulp, the good part of the juice settles on the bottom. And now you've got the part that doesn't have the nutrition, the part that doesn't have the vitamins floating at the top. And so he goes, if you're going to do this, you're going to have to stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of you. Oh, that's real good.

11:56 That Greek word that's translated stir, it actually means rekindle, rekindle. There's a gift that God gave you, but the times are threatening the gift. And my challenge to you is to rekindle the gift that God has given you so that you can keep it alive in difficult times. In other words, he's telling him, don't let the fire around you make you quench the fire inside of you. Don't let what's happening outside of you convince you that God doesn't have need for what's placed on the inside of you. He's writing to his mentee because this is a critical time. This is the kind of moment in which we determine who's got the real anointing and who was just clapping and who was just riding along the wave as long as it was going up. This is a time for those who really received a gift from God to allow that gift of God to be released regardless of the circumstances.

13:00 Find a way to keep your fire alive in the midst of the fire. Oh, come on, that's a word. In the midst of the headlines, in the midst of the divorce, in the midst of the heartbreak, you got to find a way to keep your fire alive. I know it's a fire going on around you, but your job is to keep your fire alive. Don't forget what is inside of you. Don't forget the gift of God that I has given you. God gave you a gift. And if you don't protect that gift, the times will rob you of that gift. But don't let the times hijack what God has given you. I need you to stir it up. Stir it up by any means necessary. Drag your hips into church. I know it's cold. I know you got other places to be. I know you don't feel like lifting your hands and worshiping, but sometimes you got to stir up the gift anyway. I'm trying to keep my fire alive. I'm trying to make sure that this season doesn't change me. I'm trying to make sure that I can stay anointed. I'm battling cancer, but cancer can't have my fire. I'm battling a disease, but the disease can't have my fire. I'm in the fight of my life, but the fight can't have my fire. You got to find a way to keep your fire alive. And Paul writes him this letter from prison. He is the perfect example of what it means to keep your fire alive. Even when you're in a circumstance that would try to limit what you are capable of. No better mentor does he have than Paul, who's writing a letter because Paul recognizes that the chains can't stop my fire, that the prison can't stop the gift of God that's on the inside of me. You may keep me from traveling, but you can't keep me from writing.

14:44 He finds a way by any means necessary to release the gift of God that's on the inside of him. I thought I needed my friends, but maybe God's calling me to not do it with my friends. I thought I needed the job, but maybe God's calling me to do it without my job. I'm finding a way to keep my fire alive. Excuse me while I find a way to keep my fire alive. I'm reading books because I'm trying to keep my fire alive. I change my group because I'm trying to keep my fire alive. I change my music because I'm trying to keep my fire alive. God gave me something, and I'm trying to protect what God gave me. God gave me a hope. God gave me a future. God gave me a promise. God gave me a vision of what's possible. and everything around me is trying to quench what God gave me. But I am determined that I'm going to keep my fire alive by any means necessary. I'm going to do what God has called. You better be careful lifting your hands.

15:36 It may stir up the gift of God. You may be careful who you sit next to. It may stir up the gift of God that's on the inside. I said be careful who you sit next to because they may stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of you. You may have not felt like coming into the building but you mess around and sat next to somebody who's got a reason to praise the Lord and when you sit next to somebody who got a reason to praise the Lord it makes you start thinking about the reasons you got to praise Lord and when I think about Jesus and all that is done for me. Yeah. I'm sorry.

16:30 I'm going to give somebody five seconds to stir up the gift of God. That's only, I'm going to give you five seconds to stir it up, stir it up, stir it up. Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up. I'm gonna give you 10 more seconds to stir up the gift of God. That gift of peace, that gift of power, that gift of strength, that gift of courage, that gift of boldness is down on the inside of you. And you may have to work through some depression and you may have to work through some anxiety, But I hear God saying, if you stir it up, Oh, hallelujah. I'm not in the mood for the devil today, so we going to war, just so everybody know.

17:34 You need people in your life and around you who know what's in you. I'm going to say it again.

17:55 You need people in your life, around your life. You need people who can access you to remind you, listen, of what God placed inside of you. You understand? Because you go through seasons where you forget. and you want to make sure see when we go through seasons where we forget what God's placed inside of us not you but the person beside you they they get away from the people who know what God placed inside of them because it convicts them because because I don't know if it's still in me anymore but when you remove yourself from the people who know what God placed inside of you it's like you remove yourself from someone who can send a word that helps you stir up the gift that God placed inside of you that's why I know it's hard when you find yourself backslidden and when you find yourself tripping and you're doing things you know you're not supposed to do I know it's easy to stay away from God and easy to stay away from people who remind you of God but you got to find a way to get next to them anyway, even if it makes your flesh uncomfortable, because what makes your flesh uncomfortable allows your spirit to be stirred up. I dare you to just turn to your neighbor and say, it's still inside of you. Turn to your other neighbor and say, it's still inside of you.

19:24 I know y'all don't like turning to your neighbor anymore because it's old school and churchy, but we used to turn to our neighbor in church because you never know what one touch and one word could do to stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of you. Now I want you to say it again to the person sitting next to you. Like if I say this, it may stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of them. It's still inside of you. God's still got peace inside of you. God's still got power inside of you. God's still got the gift of prophecy inside of you. God says you're still an inner self. You better tell them it's still inside of you. You're still anointed. You're still appointed. You still got faith. You still got strategy. You still got stir up the gift of God. Did you come to be entertained or did you come to be the mouthpiece of God? I dare you to stir it up not just for yourself but because I need everything that has breath to praise ye the Lord Because if you stir up your gift, my gift gets multiplied.

20:28 My gift gets met. Oh, okay. Start up, start up, start up. Paul. Paul tells Timothy. You got to stir that gift up.

21:05 Even in the fire, you got to stir that gift up. I know you're scared, but you got to stir that gift up. And that's why what he says in verse 7 that we quote all the time has even more potency. Thank you for turning me up in the monitors. He says, for God has not given us the spirit of fear. this is why you got to stir up the gift because if you don't stir up the gift you'll think that the spirit of fear is something that you're supposed to be functioning in but God didn't give you the spirit of fear I don't care what's happening in the culture God didn't give you the spirit of fear I don't care who they persecuting God didn't give you the spirit of fear I don't care who said you ought to be quiet when God says you got to speak up God didn't give you the spirit of fear but you know what he did give you he gave you power gave you power.

22:12 You shouldn't have no fear. If you function in fear, then you miss out on recognizing that he gave you power. What is power? He gave you courage. God didn't give you the spirit of fear. What God gave you was enough power to be who he has called you to be in the face of the fire. The courage to be yourself. The power to step into your identity. You got power for the fire. You got power for the fight. You got power for the battle. You got power for the systems that are being waged against you. You got power for that. And if you allow fear to keep you silent, you can't step into the power.

23:03 He gave you power. He gave you love. I didn't just give you courage. I didn't just give you power. I gave you the ability to function in power and love. See, the world will make you lust after power. and control and dominance. But love balances your power with compassion and wisdom and strategy.

23:38 I gave you the ability to show up in courage. And I gave you the ability to show up in love and a sound mind. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Think about being Timothy on the receiving end of this letter. At a moment where he's got to be afraid. Got to think that maybe I should quit. The system is literally set up against me. The times have changed. and what I once could do with these policies, mentalities, and structures are now making it more difficult for me to be who I once was.

24:32 And Paul tells him, don't be afraid. Just tap into what God gave you. That means you're going to have to be courageous. That means that you're going to have to still be loving. and that means you're going to have to have a sound mind, a sound, a steady mind, a sturdy mind, a mind that allows you strategy and wisdom so that you can do what God has called you to do in the context in which he's called you to do it. Oh, God, help me to say this real good. Because the context does not change the call.

25:17 Just because the context changed, it doesn't mean that you now no longer have a responsibility to step into who God has called you to be. The context doesn't rob you of the mission that God has given you, but it may change the way that you show up in that mission. You may have to do it with courage. It used to come easy. Now I got to do it with courage. I didn't have to be loving before because everybody was lovable.

25:47 Understand? Lord, your people out here being a little less lovable, but you gave me a spirit for that. And a sound mind. That is the context in which this letter is written. And when we look at scripture through the lens of context, it deepens our relationship with it. this reality that fear itself is not a sin god gave us fear as a human emotion listen he says the spirit of fear but fear in its purest most innate state is a method used for survival it is the fear of fire that keeps me safe Fear was used in in survival in in days of survival to help us understand the dangers that could be a threat to our life But fear was not meant to control you That's when fear has gone from being an emotion to a spirit When I was studying, God gave it to me like this.

27:12 Fear was meant to keep us alive. It was never meant to keep us from living. Oh, I want y'all to write that down and read it again. Fear was meant to keep us alive. It was never meant to keep us from living. And when you understand the difference between fear as an emotion versus the spirit of fear, it changes our relationship with fear. To be honest, both David and Saul both had fears, but they had different fears. And one fear was necessary, and the other fear is what caused Saul to experience demise. Saul had to fear people.

28:05 Saul was so afraid of people that when the prophet didn't come at the timing that he anticipated he was afraid that he would lose influence and credibility with the people and so he took matters into his own hands because he was led by the spirit of fear God help me say this real good and when you're led by the spirit of fear you make decisions that protect what God has already covered. Help me to say it real good. when you are led by the spirit of fear, spirit becomes your God. And it happens so subtly because you think you're keeping yourself safe and protecting yourself.

28:58 But what you're really doing is keeping yourself from walking in the full authority of who God has called you to be. When fear becomes your master, it tells you things like you need to protect your pride. Protect your reputation. Protect who other people think you are. And so fear whispers in your ear, and it's so subtle that we start to believe it because it sounds like safety. But it's not really safety. It's control. And it's trying to convince you to cover what God said he would already take care of. God says, I'll curse those who curse you. I'll bless those who bless you. You don't have to allow fear to tell you how to take care of you. If you take care of what I told you to do, I'll take care of you. If you don't believe me, I dare you to study Jesus. They talked about him.

29:51 They didn't understand him. They spread rumors about him. But when it was all said and done, God got the glory out of who he was. God took care of him. And all Jesus did was stay focused on his mission because Jesus had a fear of not being in the will of God. I got a fear that's greater than the fear of man. I got a fear of not doing what God has called me to do. I got a fear of not being who God has called me to be. Your life will not radically change until you get afraid of not being in the will of God. As long as you are afraid of people, you might as well go to the people's church and worship what the people say and turn on songs about worshiping people. But when you really get in relationship with God, you start being afraid that I may think something or say something that doesn't bring glory to your name. When you really get afraid of God, you start saying, God, I don't want the relationship if you're not in it.

30:50 I don't want the job if you don't have it on me. God, I'm uncomfortable, but I'm so committed to being in your will that my comfort doesn't matter anymore. God I'm afraid of what they'll say about me but I'm more afraid that you won't know my name when I get to heaven so I'm gonna do what you called me to do and it hurts sometimes and it gets ugly sometimes and I gotta become someone I don't want to be but I'm afraid of doing this without you, of choosing them over you. so I can't be controlled by fear and in order for you to break covenant with being controlled by fear you have to be willing to do the opposite of what fear tells you oh okay so for those of you who are taking notes and you can be honest enough with yourself and with the Lord to say, to be honest, I love fear.

31:56 Low-key fear is the boss of me. Come to church, I worship, I trust God. But low-key, high-key. fear is the boss of me this is what you do I need you to identify what am I truly afraid of let's give it language let's own it let's be honest about it I'm afraid my friends won't like me I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself I'm afraid that I won't do it well I'm afraid that people I want you to give it language because I want you to understand that fear has an objective to protect you from something that God can cover God has wisdom, strategy, and revelation that can meet you in the place of that fear.

33:00 So if I am afraid for some reason of being on my own, and so I settle for relationships that I know God doesn't have for me, but I'm honest enough to say, to be honest, I'm afraid of what's going to happen if I'm by myself. then God says I want to introduce myself to you as someone who will be with you always I want to see see when we identify the fear we get to unlock a deeper revelation of who God is I'm afraid that I'll embarrass myself and God says I want to introduce myself to you as someone who would never embarrass you who will complete the work that I began inside of you who will take care of everything concerning you. If you give the fear language, I'm afraid that I won't have enough provision. God says, I wanna introduce myself to you. I want you to see that I can be your provider.

33:54 I've gotta introduce myself to you in the area of your fear. So you ignoring that you have fear is not doing God or you any favors. I know you saved, I know you love the Lord, but if you really wanna get to the bottom of your fear, then you got to be willing to be honest about it so that God can give you revelation to deliver you from the bondage of fear, to deliver you from the spirit of fear, and to give you power, love, and a sound mind in the place where you once had fear. I'm going to tell you like this. In Acts 18, this is how I know that the response to fear is doing the opposite of what fear tells us in Acts 18 verses 9 through 10, Paul is afraid. Paul has been beaten. He's experienced the ridicule, the violence of being a follower of the way. And in a rare moment of vulnerability, we learn that Paul is considering silence at a time where his ministry could just be taking off and it says now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision and he says do not be afraid but speak at a time where you're tempted to be silent because you're afraid of what could happen if you use your voice. The Lord says, do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent. How, how, how, how am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to overcome the fear? I'm afraid that something's going to happen to me. I'm afraid that they'll talk about me. I'm afraid that it'll all fall apart. And then the Lord says, for I am with you.

35:43 You don't have to be afraid for I am with you. See, see, oh God, help me. See, Paul was afraid because he had experienced trauma in this very area before. And he's afraid that if I continue doing what I did before, that I'll have the same results that I had last time. So because I don't want the same results that I had last time, I'm not going to do the things that got me in this in the first place. I want to talk to somebody who made a decision because they got burned. I was doing what God told me to do, but people walked away from me. They hurt me. They mistreated me. And now I don't want to do it again because I'm trying to control the outcomes. God tells Paul, not only am I going to be with you, no one will attack you to hurt you. For I have many people in this city.

36:36 What you did the first time where you didn't feel like you had any backup. if you do it again this time, I want you to understand that I'm going to be with you. But not only am I going to be with you, I sent backup in the city. You're not in the city. I don't know who just moved to Dallas. And you're wondering where your community is. And you're wondering if God will take care of you. God says, I got backup in the city. I'll make other people protect you who didn't even know you were coming. I wish I had about five people in this room who understood that there are people protecting you right now with policy and strategy who don't even know your name. I got people in this city. Do you know who your God is? God says before you even stepped foot in the city, I was raising up a generation of people who could handle what I placed on the inside of you. You don't have to be afraid because I got backup. I got a wisdom. I got strategy to make sure that you have a platform to do what I've called you to do and not only a platform but that you got protection to do it with ease to do it with power to do it with the full authority that I've given you I got people in your city I got businesses in your city I got grants in your city I got loans in your city I don't know who you are but you better make sure you in your city and you better make sure no one moves you out of your city because God says when I open up the windows of heaven, you're going to see that you were never in that city on your own.

38:09 Oh, that's a good word. That's a good word. I feel that prophetically. Holy Ghost speak. There's something in this city that's been laying dormant. There's somebody in this city that's got partnership connected to it. There's somebody in this city that God's going to use to connect you to what he has called you to do. I hear God saying you better get out of your comfort zone and start connecting with people again. You turned to your neighbor before, but you may want to introduce yourself. That may be the protection God has placed in this city. I'm going to protect you from depression. I'm going to protect you from anxiety. It's Connect We. Come on, Connect We. It's Connect We. You better make sure you get connected in the right city. Get connected in the right church. Let me tell you something about the Potter's House. We going up in here. Everything connected to us going up. And we're not going up on our own.

39:02 I'm dragging my row with me. I'm dragging Firehouse with me. I'm dragging Destiny World with me. Because God's got a mission for us to do in this city. You're watching all over the world. What happens in Dallas is going to shake your city. Because there is some powerful, anointed, blood-washed, Holy Ghost-filled, determined, bold, courageous people in this city that God is releasing. Thank you. Deep in the heart of Texas, the heart of God will be revealed through his people. It's in this city. It's in this city.

39:54 When you drive out of here, you tell the city, come alive, dry bones. Come alive, come alive, come alive. It's something in your city that'll save kids from going to prison. It's something in your city that'll keep them off of drugs. It's something in your city that'll build families. It's something in your city that'll build ministries. It's something in your city that'll radically shape God Show me the people in my city. Show me the people in my city.

40:40 Let me be the people in my city. They waiting on you. All Paul has to do To reveal what's in the city Is to activate what God put inside of him You want to see what's in your city But you're not the fullness of who you need to be So your city's not what it needs to be Lagos isn't what it needs to be Sydney isn't what it needs to be Because you're not who you are supposed to be But if you will step into who you are supposed to be God says I'll show you what I put in this city for you That's a prophetic word I don't know whose word that is, but I dare you to reach up and grab it and never let go of it.

41:36 I hear God saying that I put it in the city. Just do the opposite of what fear says, and it'll unlock God's strategy. Do the opposite of what fear says, and it'll position you properly in the city, relationships in the city. I don't know who, oh, God, I don't know. I don't know who you are, but I hear God saying, if that's you, wave at me. I see you in the back and they wave at me. You got to understand that God is not just touching you. for the sake of making you feel good. He's really not just healing you so you can be whole. It should impact your sphere of influence.

42:31 The city ought to change when you move into it. The city ought to change when you release your anointing. It should awaken other people who believe in God. It should awaken the gift of God that's on the inside of other people. Something ought to happen. That's why you can't afford to be afraid. Because what God has placed in you is going to activate what he's placed in somebody else.

43:04 If you're going to break the spirit of fear, do the opposite of what it tells you to do. Break covenant with fear. Paul and Timothy are going through a changing of the times, a changing of the climate, and they have a fear of what could take place outside of them. And it is a legitimate fear because of the systems and structures. But to be honest, I believe that if you could have a preference on what kind of fear to have, I think I would rather be afraid of what's happening around me than being afraid of what's inside of me.

43:57 If you would allow me to go a little bit deeper into this word. Because when we talk about the spirit of fear, when Paul writes this letter to Timothy, he's talking about a spirit of fear that could be transferred to him as a result of the climate of what's happening around him. But there is a spirit of fear that can be inside of you, that can be controlling you, not because of what's happening around you. It's not because of AI. It's not because of the government. I wish I could say it was that because that seems like a more acceptable fear. But there are some of us who are afraid of what's inside of us. Oh.

44:55 Sometimes, you know, we have this thing where we are in church and we talk about, you don't know what's inside of you, you don't know what's inside of you. And usually when we say that, it's because there's a gift of God that's on the inside of you. There's anointing on the inside of you. But some of us know that there are some other things inside of us that God didn't put there. Oh, some of us know that before we can stir up the gift of God, that the gift of God has to go through a few other things. Because there's some things in me that I didn't know were in me. And now that I know that they're in me, I'm afraid because I don't know what else is in me. I don't know if it's fear of what's in me or fear of what's not in me.

45:52 I don't know if I have enough. I have a fear of inadequacy that's in me. That don't have nothing to do with what's outside of me. Have you ever been in a situation where something came out of you that you didn't know was in you? and anger, a bitterness, a decision of loneliness. I'm afraid of what's inside of me. David didn't even know that it was in him to be an adulterer, to be a murderer. He didn't even know that was in him. So much so that when the prophet Nathan came to him and painted a picture, he didn't know who he was talking about until the prophet said, that's you.

46:42 But I didn't know that was in me. I didn't know that that bitterness was in me. I didn't know that anger. I didn't know it was in me. I didn't know. Peter didn't know that he would deny Jesus. I didn't know it was in me. Yeah, it's one thing to be afraid of what's happening around you. But I'm afraid that that trauma I never dealt with. I'm afraid that that abandonment. I'm afraid of that rejection. I'm afraid of that thing that's on the inside of me. Sarah laughed when God said that she would become pregnant. Because she had skepticism inside of her. So much so that when the Lord said, why did Sarah laugh? She goes, I didn't laugh. Sarah didn't even know that was in her.

47:25 And sometimes we have ways and patterns and traits that we didn't even realize were inside of us. And it makes us afraid. And so we're governed by fear, by the spirit of fear, because we're afraid of what's in us. Afraid that I fail.

47:51 Yeah. And what I love about the Lord is that the Lord is less concerned about what's in us. Because he has a strategy for what's in us. What you're afraid of, God wants to transform. Oh, God, help me. That spirit of fear that controls you based off of what you don't know is inside of you or what you do know is inside of you, whether it's lust or addiction or greed or pride or ego, those things that make you not trust yourself. Have you ever been able to trust God, but I don't trust myself? I don't trust that I won't get angry. I don't trust that I'll be able to forgive. I don't trust that I'll be who God needs me to be. I trust God, but I don't trust myself. Not realizing to not trust yourself is to say that I don't trust God. because if you truly trust God, you'll know that God can transform whatever's on the inside of you.

48:51 I don't just trust myself because I trust me. I know my ways. I know that I can be bad. I know that I can be disrespectful. I know that I can use my words. I don't trust me. I trust what God is doing on the inside of me. And when you get to a space where you can trust what God is doing on the inside of you, it helps you to trust yourself. That's why you need to obey what God tells you to obey. It's not just for his benefit. It is for your benefit because I want to show you that you can trust yourself again. I want to show you that you can trust what I'm doing on the inside of you. Obedience restores the trust that you lost when you became someone you never wanted to be. And now you're ashamed of stepping into what God has called you to be because you don't trust you. But God says, I want to show you how to trust yourself again. I want to show you how to surrender in front of me so much so that you pick up your face and you pick up your feet and you start moving in the direction of what I've called you to do. I don't know what the enemy has planted in your life that has made you believe that you cannot trust what God says about you, but I got good news for you today. He makes all things new. I got good news for you today that he can take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it for good. I got good news for you today that you don't have to be limited by your past mistakes. The God says, I'll teach you in a way no one else could teach you.

50:14 I'll lead you in a way that no one else could lead you. I'll take your failure and I'll make it turn around for your good. I'll take your indiscretions and turn them into lessons and ministries. If you don't believe me, just watch what I've done in the lives of other people. I didn't do it because they were good. I did it because they surrendered themselves. I didn't do because they made all the right choices I did it because they dared to trust me and to trust what I placed inside of them Oh, God. I feel like this is a ministry moment for someone who's struggling to trust themselves again because of the way you failed. Oh, struggling to trust yourself again because of the choices you made in the past. And you love God and you worship God, but you just cannot step out on faith in the way that you know that you need to.

51:18 I hear God saying that I didn't just save you to leave you in the same shape that you're in. I saved you to change you. Oh, God, can I take a moment here? God says, I knew who you were anyway. I knew what was in you. I knew you would manipulate. I knew you would lie. I knew you would cheat. I knew all of that. God says, because I don't just know what's in you. God says, I know how it got in you. I know who failed you. I know who couldn't speak into your life. I know the community you grew up in. And you're punishing yourself for who you are. But I hear God saying, I know how it got in you. I know what's in you. I know how it got in you. And I know how to get it out of you.

52:11 Oh, I got to preach. But if I was receiving this message, I'd lay out on the floor. Because I know what it's like for God to pull something out of you that had no business being inside of you and exchanging it for his presence instead. I'm going to give you my spirit in the area where you once had pain. I'm going to give you my presence in the area where you once had division. I'm going to give you my spirit. I'm going to give you a new heart in Ezekiel 36, verses 25 through 27. The Lord says this, and this is your word. If this is your message, this part of the message belongs to you personally, and you're thinking to yourself, I don't trust myself, I don't trust what's in me, but I want to believe that God can get it out of me.

53:07 In verse 25 it says, he's talking about the children of Israel who have departed from the Lord And they're no longer walking in the statues of the Lord He says, if you bring, if you come into my commandments And you begin to follow my statues Then I will sprinkle clean water on you That's God's word to you Who are you? In this room, God says, I'm going to sprinkle clean water on you I'm not going to reuse somebody else's water and you shall be clean with a sprinkle come on somebody you think that it's going to take a whole lot to change your ways and to change your patterns and to change how you were showing up God says it ain't even going to take that much I'll just sprinkle some of my water on you I'll sprinkle some of my word I'll sprinkle some of my water on you and you shall be clean when I get finished. Just a sprinkle of my goodness. Just a sprinkle of my faithfulness. I will clean you from the inside out. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

54:18 Whatever you worshiped before you worshiped me. Whatever you felt like you needed more than you needed me. God says, I'll clean it right off of you. Whoever touched you, whoever broke you, those choices you made the people you touch God says I'll sprinkle water over it and I'll cleanse you he says and then not only that not only are you going to be clean I'm not just going to clean you and then put you back in the same situation you were in before I'm going to give you a new heart Oh, that heart that turned bitter, that heart that turned sour, I'm going to give you a new heart, and I'm going to put a new spirit within you. The same spirits that led you into demise, I'm going to clean them off of you, but I'm not going to leave you empty. I'm going to put a new spirit inside of you, and this spirit will have wholeness, and this spirit will have peace, and this spirit will have focus and this spirit will have confidence. I'm going to give you a new spirit. I'm going to wipe the slate clean. I'm going to take that heart of stone out of your flesh and I'm going to give you a heart of flesh. That is the word of the Lord.

55:36 For those of you who are afraid of what's inside of you, God says, I can pull it out. and when God looks at what's inside of you, I'm sorry I'm taking so long on this point, but when God looks at what's inside of you, this is what you need to know about God, is that he's not looking with disgust.

56:00 That thing that makes you cringe, that thing that makes you embarrassed, that if we put it on the jumbotron, you go running up. God doesn't look at it with disgust. That's why you need to understand that God knows how it got into you. He sees it with compassion. He understands the world that you live in. And because he sees it with compassion, when he gets into it with you, you'll be judging yourself more harshly than he is. Because David learned that if you make your bed in hell, I'll be with you. Because I'm willing to be with you in whatever condition that you're in. and that is the most powerful gift that any of us can receive from the Lord is the gift of a new heart so that we are no longer controlled by fear of exposure. I'm afraid.

56:59 Isn't that why Moses ran away? He left Egypt and went to Midian because he didn't know that murder was in him. oh and he didn't want anybody else to see what was inside of him that I could be angry that I don't know my full identity that I'm confused he said so instead I'm gonna leave and I'm gonna create a life that fear constructed oh I don't know who you are but you coming out of that life today I speak deliverance in this room in the name of Jesus this is a prophetic declaration that you must come out of the life that fear has built. I hear God saying that rain came wind blue, but my house was built on you. I hear God saying that this is not church. This is a construction zone. And I came to tear down the walls that fear built.

57:54 I came to tear down the house that your pride built. I came to tear down the walls that the fear of rejection built. Because God says, I want to do something new in the earth, and I want to do it through you. But I can't do it through the life that fear built. I hate to say this, but you needed some people to walk away from you so that you could understand that they could walk away from you and you could still stay standing by the strength of God. You needed some deals to fall through so that God could show you that he would be your provider. And I hear God saying that you built your house on pride. You built your house on degrees. You built your house on ego. You built your house on people pleasing and you didn't please them and please them and please them. and it still ain't enough. God says you needed them to reject your people pleasing so that you could get desperate for some God pleasing. Because when you start God pleasing over people pleasing, it changes the way you show up in the earth. It changes what you think you need. It changes the way you speak. It changes the way you prophesy. I hear God saying you're not even walking in the full authority of your anointing because you've been divided. But a double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways and that's why you're on one minute and off the next but i hear god saying in 2026 you gonna be on 24 7 call me 7-11 call me i hop baby i'm on 24 7 baby call me cbs walgreens i'm on 24 7 i'm gonna make sure that everything that god put inside of me is showing up in everything that I do.

59:34 Okay. Oh. Oh. It's deliverance. It's deliverance in this room. It's deliverance in this room. If you an intercessor, now is the time to start praying. I need you to start praying against principalities. I need you to start praying against strongholds. I hear God saying somebody is coming out. Come out. Come out. Come out. Come out, come out, come out. You coming out of that fear. You coming out of that cycle. That same old cycle that made you run away from God is about to break in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I speak to every witch, every warlock, every plan of the enemy. And I rebuke you in the name that is above all names.

1:00:29 His name is bigger than abandonment. His name is bigger than rejection. His name is bigger than heartbreak. His name is bigger than anxiety. His name is bigger than, so I come against suicide. In the name of Jesus, come out, come out wherever you are. Come out, come out wherever you are. Come out of your fear. Come out of your patterns. Come out of your comfort zone. You're in this room and you don't ever come out. I hear God saying, now's not the time to stay hidden. God's coming to get you I have need of you I have a people connected to you I got deliverance connected to you You can't afford to stay hidden any longer It's not going to happen from the pulpit It's not going to happen from the potter's house It's going to happen from your house Stop wishing that the church would come to your neighborhood God says I'll put your house on that block Because if you release Yeah.

1:01:38 Yeah. Just like that. God says you can bust one move. Just like that. In this atmosphere, you can do one thing, and I'll break it off of you just like that. Do one thing out of your comfort. Do one thing. The opposite of what fear is telling you to do. and I'll break it off for you right now. Anytime fear invites you, I hear God saying, let your faith

1:02:46 God God goes to get Moses. because the life that he built by fear worked, but it had an expiration date. the life here's the thing Moses built a life that was driven by fear fear of being exposed fear of what was inside of him and hear me, hear me clearly for 40 years he built a good life.

1:03:45 He married. He found community. It wasn't a bad life. That is the illusion of fear. Is that we think that if I was living by fear, I wouldn't be comfortable. No, no, no. It's quite the opposite. Living by fear will actually make you so comfortable. that you don't see it's a trap. trapping your anointing trapping your identity trapping the fullness of what God of why God said it had to be you in this season in this time in this area comfort is a trap and the Lord interrupts Moses' comfort to let him know that the life that fear built has now expired. I have need of you in Egypt. Oh, God, help me get through this message.

1:04:51 He says, I got need of you in Egypt. And in order for Moses to step into this life, this calling, this identity, he must be willing to relinquish the life that fear built. He can't be fueled by fear. And instead, he's got to be fueled by the presence. And Moses, when we start in Exodus, and you should read throughout it just to get the full beauty of the story. But we see that when Moses first has an encounter with God, it starts with Moses pouring out his heart to the Lord. Oh, I'm slow with speech. I don't have what it takes. He's talking like the Lord don't know what's in him.

1:05:41 I know y'all don't do that. But me, I do that. I be like, Lord, I'm not smart enough. I'm not experienced enough. I'm not eloquent enough. And the Lord says, and I still want to use you to do what I want to see happen in the earth. And when we watch the progression of their relationship, we see a Moses who was fueled by fear exchange his fuel source, and now he's being fueled by the presence.

1:06:17 In fitness, when you want to lose weight, you allow for your body to run off of stored energy and stored carbs by using a caloric deficit. But when you are in a stage where you want to build muscle and you want to put on weight, you got to change the way you fuel so that you can change your outcome. So you up your protein and you eat in a surplus because I'm trying to change my outcome. When you want to change your outcome, you got to change the way you fuel because if you want to change your outcome, you can't be fueled by the same thing that puts you in a deficit. So I cannot say that I want to step into what God has for me, but still allow my life to be fueled by fear. I got to change my energy source. Now I have to be fueled by the presence. Where I was once fueled by fear, I got to find a way to hang on to the presence of God.

1:07:13 I got to find a way to pray without ceasing. I got to find a way to be in his presence, even as I'm navigating the world, because now I'm being fueled by the presence and he changes his energy source. And it starts off, he's pouring out his heart to God. But then something powerful happens. And he goes from pouring his heart out to God and his mind and his thoughts out to God, to God giving him glimpses of his heart and his mind and his thoughts. Because our relationship with God is not just where I pour out my heart. if I stay in it long enough, it's the place where I receive his heart.

1:08:04 And I receive his thoughts. And I go into my prayer closet seeing things a certain way. And I pour out my heart telling God the way I see it. But when I leave the prayer closet, I didn't just forgive you because forgiveness was in me, but God showed me the way that he saw it. And when God showed me the way that he saw it, It changed my heart. Prayer ought to be the place that changes your heart. Prayer ought to be the place that changes your perspective. And Moses begins to change as a result of his relationship with God. And I don't know what was most powerful to Moses about his connection with God. I'm getting there. But I can only imagine that it wasn't just his power that he saw, though Moses saw his power in the plagues. And it wasn't just his love that Moses experienced, though I believe that he saw that too when he allowed manna to fall from heaven.

1:09:13 I love my people so much how I feed them in the wilderness. We serve a God who's got power. We serve a God who has love. I don't believe that it was just his strategy that he saw. Because when he saw the plan for the Passover, he realized that this is a God of strategy. I believe that one of the things that was most powerful about Moses building relationship with God and one of the things that is most powerful for us as we build a relationship with God is that you begin to recognize the wisdom of God. This is it. This is what God gave me to tell you.

1:09:52 See, church and our history will make us long for the love of God, and we should. You've got to know the love of God. Ephesians talks about being rooted and grounded in the love of God. You've got to know that. You've got to know the power of God. That's powerful too. You've got to know that he holds all power in his hands, that the winds and waves obey him. but I feel like we don't spend enough time considering the wisdom of God. And I need you to understand the full wisdom of your God, because it helps us in moments that are confusing, and it helps us to understand the beauty of what it means to have a God that isn't just powerful, isn't just loving, but has strategy.

1:10:37 And I have to believe that Moses started to understand the wisdom of God because he stayed close enough for God to show him how he causes all things to work together. Oh, God, help me. He stays close enough to see that God made provision for every part of his journey. If you're writing notes, I want you to write this down, that if you're going to experience and know the wisdom of God, it requires intimacy with God. It means that you have to be close enough, long enough to see how God works.

1:11:17 I can imagine that Moses, somewhere along the journey, realized that it was the wisdom of God that allowed him to be pulled from the river from an Egyptian woman, even though he was a Hebrew child, to be raised in the palace of the Egyptians so that he could understand how the Egyptians functioned, even though he was a Hebrew child. And he may have felt isolated and like the lone one out, but it was the wisdom of God that placed him in that atmosphere so that when God sent him back to Pharaoh's house, he spoke the language of Pharaoh. He understood the dynamics of what Pharaoh was losing when he lost the Hebrew children. It was the wisdom of God that had to make him marvel See, the wisdom of God is what allowed him to allow Lazarus to stay dead for four days because he realized that once I bring Lazarus back to life, that it will begin my journey to the cross. He realized how all of these things were connected.

1:12:16 It was the wisdom of God that allowed for Jesus to be born of a virgin. Why would Jesus be born of a virgin? because at that time for a woman to become pregnant with child meant that it was grounds for adultery if she were not married. Hear me out. Hear me out. God takes a woman and allows her to get pregnant by the Holy Spirit, knowing that she lived in a context where this could get her killed. But she said yes to God anyway, even though it meant she would have to be willing to risk her life to say yes to God. He chooses that same woman to raise a Messiah who would eventually go to the cross because he knew that that woman could teach him how to say yes to God, even if it meant laying your life down for the Lord. It was the wisdom of God that allowed you to be in a situation where no one understood you, but God still protected you. And now you can go back and talk to people just like you. You thought he abandoned you. No, I positioned you because it was the wisdom of God that let the youngest brother be thrown into a pit, sold into slavery to be in Pharaoh's house so that the same people who threw him in a pit would have to come to him for salvation.

1:13:36 That's why Joseph said, you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good because Joseph understood the wisdom of God. And you've got to understand that there is wisdom from God as it relates to your life. Oh God, the wisdom of God causes all things to work together for your good. Even the things you don't understand. You see, wisdom is not just knowledge. Wisdom is discernment. It's understanding how to take these parts and turn them into a whole. It is the wisdom of God that you need to understand. And that's why his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. And if you do not understand the wisdom of God, you cannot access the wisdom of God. Oh, Jesus, help me.

1:14:25 And for this time, and for your call, and for your life, you need the wisdom of God. For where God is sending you, for what God is calling you to do, for who you're going to have to become and who you're going to have to speak to. You're going to need the wisdom of God.

1:14:52 Proverbs 3 tells us that the wisdom of God is what established the earth. Oh, God, help me, help me, help me. I'm trying to close and be mindful of the time, but I just need you to understand that God told me that my people need to understand that my greatest attribute to them in this season is my wisdom. By wisdom, the earth was established. He didn't make the fish until there was a sea to put them in. He didn't make the stars until the sky could hang on to them. He's, I'm working all things together. I got wisdom. I got strategy. I didn't create humanity until there was an environment that could sustain them. He's given us wisdom in the way that he puts things together. And God's I'm going to give you many parts and you're going to be confused and you're not going to know what to do with all of these parts that I give you. But God says, I don't just have wisdom.

1:15:45 I'll give you my wisdom. I'll give you the wisdom you need to build what I'm calling you to build. I'll give you the wisdom you need to take care of that family, to bring restoration in that relationship. And in Exodus 31, this is my text. I'm finished. I chose this text because God told me that my people need to understand my wisdom.

1:16:11 In Exodus 31, Jesus, God, is telling Moses about building the tabernacle. And for the first time in Scripture, the very first time, we see that the Lord fills someone with his spirit. this is for those of you who study scripture and understand the bible and the pentecost and you got to understand that this idea of being filled with the spirit is really a new testament theology it's a new testament experience that we would be filled with the spirit of god before then we had priests we had prophets but there's this moment in scripture where we learned that god gave the Hebrews a glimpse, a foreshadowing of what would be the ultimate reality for all humanity is that I'm going to fill people with my spirit. And let me tell you something. The first time the Lord fills someone with his spirit, it's not to preach. It's not to prophesy. It's not to pray.

1:17:18 He fills them with his spirit so that they could build the tabernacle. He fills them with his spirit so that they could design and create and carve. He fills them with his spirit so that they could take their skills and turn nothing into something. He gives them this skill set to build the tabernacle. And the tabernacle, when you see how detailed the tabernacle is, you understand exactly how much wisdom and knowledge God filled them with for the task that was at hand. And while they were building the tabernacle for Moses, little did they know that they were giving us a glimpse of what it would mean to be the tabernacle of God.

1:18:15 they built the tabernacle so that the Lord would have a place to dwell. And for years and years, we saw the presence of the Lord dwell in the tabernacle. And we saw him dwell in the temple. But when he was filled with his spirit, he gives us a foreshadowing of what it would mean for us to be the tabernacle of God. I wish I could say that real good. That means that the Lord had a tabernacle built in a tabernacle. that he had turned what seemed like nothing in human form into something that would allow him to get the glory out of that time and that season. Of all places, for the Lord to build the tabernacle. It wasn't in Egypt where they could have had access to more supplies. it wasn't in the promised land where they could be sustained and have food and resources the lord commands for them to build a tabernacle in the wilderness in the middle of nothing and he commands them to build this tabernacle in the middle of nothing on purpose because i want you to understand that when i fill you with my spirit it's all you need Okay.

1:19:40 When you look at that word in the Hebrew or Greek, that word wisdom, it literally means skill. That it's a skill that the Lord gave them in order to build the tabernacle. God told me to make sure that his people stand with me and we're going to pray. God told me to make sure that you, his sons and daughters, understood that you have access to the wisdom of God.

1:20:17 That if you study the scriptures in your own personal prayer and devotion time, to look at how everything has been connected to make that one moment happen. look at the skill it took, the wisdom it took to cause all of those things to exist in that moment. Why, why, why? Because the Lord is calling you to a time of workmanship, to do great works, and it's going to require skill that you don't possess. Don't be afraid of that. don't be afraid when the Lord asks you to step into a role that you don't have a model for to build something you've never seen to become someone that you don't fully understand I feel like this message connects so greatly with what I preached last week about doing something that feels unnatural to you You can only do something that is unnatural to you if you're fueled by the Spirit of God who will give you wisdom on how to show up and how to build.

1:21:42 You're in this room, and I want to pray with you. Usually we would maybe do an altar call for one specific thing, And if you don't know the Lord, we're certainly going to pray over you and give you an invitation to experience what it means to be in relationship with Jesus. But I want to take a moment and I want to talk to those of you who have been called to build without skill.

1:22:16 God's called you to take nothing and turn it into something. and it scares you and it makes you afraid because you don't know if it can sustain the times that we're living in and you're not sure what will be exposed in you if you say yes to God.

1:22:40 I hear God saying that I want to offer you a moment of surrender. There was so much that God showed me about this text but one of the things that God made me wonder is did the craftsmen's did they know that they had been filled with God's spirit or would they know when Moses commanded them to do it maybe they were just waiting on the command and the command would activate what God placed inside of them and the reason why I wonder this and you want to talk about the wisdom of God I I really, I flowed with the spirit of God. And so I'm out of my notes. But at the same time that God was giving Moses the instructions for building the tabernacle, they were down at the bottom of the mountain making a golden calf.

1:23:35 The wisdom of God knew that they needed to have something that they could dwell with, that they needed a representation of his presence, a visualization of his presence with them. God knew before they took matters into their own hands because he had foresight and forethought. And what he planned for them was so much greater than just the golden calf that they created for themselves. God had something that was so much more detailed, so much more intricate, so much more beautiful, so much more holy than what they would have settled for themselves. I don't know what you've built in this room. And maybe it looks beautiful in your own eyes. But if it isn't what God told you to build, it is not anointed to survive the times. This is not to scare you. This is to bring you to a place of surrender. If your life has been built on fear, if your life has been built on anything other than the presence of God, it is my prayer that you will be blessed with a life that requires the presence of God.

1:24:51 Blessed with a life that you cannot sustain in your own strength, in your own might. Blessed with a life that requires you to lean into God. with a marriage that you cannot do unless God's in it, with a book that you cannot write unless you seek the presence of God, a child you cannot raise unless you ask God for help, a loneliness you cannot cure unless God does it with you. May you be blessed with a life that requires his presence. if you're in this room and fear has been controlling you fear would even tell you don't move the prayer will come right to where you are i want to challenge you to defy your fear oh holy okay holy spirit oh this is gonna be hard for some of you holy spirit just told me i want you to just grab the hand of the shoulder of the person beside if you're here and fear's been controlling you.

1:26:01 I want you to just reach out and touch somebody. You feel that? what it feels like for fear to not isolate you. If you're holding that person, I just want you to tug on them a little bit.

1:26:23 Like you're pulling them out of fear. Can you take five seconds and just pray over that person? to stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of them.

1:26:48 For God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power. I speak power into your body. I speak courage into your body. the power to live righteously the power to walk in integrity the power to walk away from that which no longer serves you the power to forgive the power to grieve and then live again resurrect in power i speak power on the inside of you power power power power power to create again power power, power, power, power, power, power, for God has not given you the spirit. I rebuke the spirit of fear right now in the name of Jesus. I don't know what devil deposited that fear in your life, but I rebuke it right now. I don't know what trauma, what experience, what disappointment has made you afraid, but I rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus over you and I'll pour the love of God on the inside of you. For he who fears has not been perfected in love because perfect love cast out fear. I cast it out in the name of Jesus. I speak love in the area where there was dryness. I speak love in the area where there's brokenness. I speak love, love that your mother, I'm sorry they abused you. I'm sorry they turned their back on you. I'm sorry nobody loved you the way that they were supposed to love you, but there is a love that is greater than any love that man could provide. There is a love that is greater than any love this world could ever give. I know you felt loved when you were on top of the world, but I hear God saying I brought you down to the mountain so that I can show you that my love reaches to the lowest valley.

1:28:43 I speak love on the inside of you. Love so you don't put yourself on clearance. Love so that you don't bargain with your worth. Love so that you don't bargain with your health. Love so that you don't bargain with your destiny. I speak love on the inside of you. The kind of love that got on the cross and went to hell itself and took the keys from death. I speak love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love until you're healed. Love until you got joy. Love until you got peace. You got power you got love and now I prophesy over your mind I prophesy over your mind in the name of Jesus that it will be sound that you will have the same mind in you that was in Christ Jesus that you will humble yourself when you need to be humbled that you will walk in power and authority when you need to walk in power and authority that you will only do what you see your father in heaven do. I thank you God for a sound mind. And while we're praying God, I pray up against every threat that's taken place in their mind. The threat of depression, the suicidal ideations, the cutting themselves, being a, I speak sound mind in the name of Jesus. Enough sound mind to take the medication if you need it. Enough sound mind to call the therapist if you need it. By any means necessary, We gonna get this mind together.

1:30:08 I rebuke you devil, waging war on them with their own thoughts. I come up against insecurity. I come up against being possessed by anything other than the Holy Ghost. I speak to generational curses, generational principalities, and I say come out, come out.
