Something Good Is About to Happen - Touré Roberts

2:32 Jeremiah 29 11. I'm going to read this out of the New International Version. and I'm going to tell you the word that God spoke to me. days ago. And those very words would be challenged on yesterday. Jeremiah 29 11 God says for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.

3:27 That's our verse for today. for I know the plans that I have for you God says for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future and a future and the future. In other words, don't be stuck in the moment that you're in. Don't put a period where I place the comma. And the thought, the prophetic declaration that God gave to me for you for this Sunday, several days ago, is something good is about to happen.

4:31 Something good is about to happen. Father I'm here I am weak in myself but strong in you Father I thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight and knowledge and prophecy and full use of heaven's resources to communicate this word to the effect that you preordained it and predestined it. I know, God, that the attack came because of this word, which means that there's something powerful in it. so father I pray and I thank you that you go ahead of me and make my crooked path straight and I pray God this word would do what it does that it would not return until you void but that it will accomplish that for which you sent it.

5:45 In Jesus' name, amen, amen, amen, amen. Let's go to work. So, I've got to be straight up with you. God dropping a word in my spirit about something good is about to happen in the backdrop of news cycles that scream economic uncertainty uncertainty surrounding wars and a lot of the crazy things that are taking place in our world, workforce disruption AI fears and how AI is reshaping things I think in amazing ways but also in ways that affect the livelihoods of some people the backdrop of mental fatigue let's keep it 100 decision fatigue people are stressed out either making bad decisions because of that stress or not making any decisions at all stagnant we see environmental strain we see societal strain and conflict and division and just one one glance at the news and there's nothing to suggest that something good is about to happen in fact with all of the uncertainty and all of the less positive things that we're thinking not only is it top of mind to believe that something is good going to happen, not only is it not that, but one might lean more toward what bad thing is going to happen next.

7:41 Are you tracking with me? And so I'll be honest with you, when the Lord put that very, I'll call it counterculture word in my spirit, I wanted to check it a little bit because you know God I'm looking at all these things and I'm seeing all these things that have taken place and everything is just it's just wild and yet you want me to stand in the middle of a congregation of several thousand people and tens of thousands of people watching online and declare in the backdrop of this chaos and uncertainty that something good is about to happen.

8:28 That's what you're requiring of me. I will sound like a madman, like a lunatic. You know, this is what we're doing. You know, and God said yes, and I said, okay, we'll do it. And so as I'm putting my notes, the final details of my notes, on a message called something good is about to happen, on the eve of the day of the message, something good is about to happen, something very bad. seemingly something radically disruptive to the universe of my entire family happens and i'm like god this word doesn't even this word doesn't even fit anymore something good is about to happen and I'm already exhausted from tour and I'm thinking that I'm going to give me a good just at least give me a good night's sleep sleeping in my own bed tonight just saw my daughter off the prom hey pictures and photos I'm getting ready to put on my do-rag and my sleep mask and my PJs.

9:52 I'm getting to bed early, and that's disrupted. And now this news comes, this situation comes that completely disrupts everything and threatens the life of the most important person in the world to me. and yet you, God, who doesn't lie and declares the end from the beginning, the voice of the Lord that I've learned to trust all these years. have the audacity to say that's my message. and yesterday last night i certainly said did i hear you correctly you're saying something's good you know and then of course i had that obviously i had that epiphany because it's so funny like you know many of you you know this when i was 16 years old I got shot in a drive-by shooting and almost lost my life and that was December 28th the date was December 28th and so from that moment up until about two years ago every December 28th I used to come around I used to get nervous I used to get anxiety and oftentimes if I would look up on the calendar, Jan, and it was December 28th, I would stay in the house. Because in my mind, that was the day that something bad happened to me. Until God showed me, you're looking at that wrong.

11:47 That's not the day that something bad happened to you. That's the day I delivered you. Feel the Holy Ghost. And what I am learning Is that in order to walk this thing out with God We have to reframe our experiences because I can see yesterday now what was that the 18th April 18th as the day that Sarah had the accident the very bad accident that disrupted our family or I can see it as the day that God came through and didn't allow the weapon that was formed against her that was the day of her salvation. That was the day, are you tracking with me?

12:41 So what I'm learning is we have to reframe things because the enemy's job, watch this, watch this, is to ill-frame things. Oh, fill the Holy Ghost. I want to talk about this passage really quickly. And it's not an unfamiliar passage of Scripture. Jeremiah 29 11 you've heard every preacher on the planet preach it because it's fun to preach it's fun to preach for I know the plans I have for you they're good and not evil plan to prosper you and not to harm you to give you a future and a hope that is a wonderful passage and most of us only see the passage we only see the promise of the passage but we don't look at the context in which the passage was given. The passage that we love so much was not given in the backdrop of happiness.

13:45 You got to study it out. And all you got to do is go a few verses up before that and you get it. They are literally in Babylonian captivity. they've been exiled from their homes.

14:05 They are under the control of another nation, another government that cares nothing about them or their God. So this word about, for I know the plans that I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, literally comes at a very difficult time. Watch this. The Word comes in the midst of a crisis. Are we tracking together? This word comes, and watch this, and it's not an ordinary crisis. This crisis will last 70 years. and the Lord drops into their spirit through the prophet Jeremiah a promise and he says things he says things he uses words intentionally in that promise that if we look deeper into it it will encourage us unlike ever before Make sure it comes off first of all day today to switch during breakaged Creeps Institute I'm not hoping, I'm not guessing.

15:42 and it's not Tore knows, it's not Bishop knows, God is saying, I know. It's not the prophet Jeremiah. God's saying, he says, I know the plans I have for you. They are good and not evil. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. Now, that would be encouraging enough. However, it is the word that he uses when he says, I know. When he says, I know the plans, he's using the Hebrew word yadah.

16:39 And that Hebrew word yada is the same word that is used when it speaks of Adam having an intimate experience with his wife Eve. Trying to keep it PG. Okay? Because the scripture says, and Adam yadad his wife Eve and she conceived. so it's it's not just no it is experience so let me reframe that for you so god is saying for i am experiencing the plans that i have for you let me unpack this you have to understand that when god speaks something it's not something that is coming it's something that is done that is playing itself out in your life cycle.

17:38 So God really doesn't have to do anything else. We just walk into what God has done. The scripture said he set it all up. He set it in motion, and then he sits down, and there's nothing in the scripture that says he got back up again. Track it. He creates the universes. He creates everything, and then he puts a system in place to keep it flowing in perpetuity, right, the sea within itself. and then he sits down he's finished he finished everything he sits down it's done and the system is in place to keep it flowing he doesn't have to do anything else that's why it says about jesus he was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world before there was a problem the solution was already set in motion.

18:30 So when he says, I am, I know the plans, I am experiencing the plans I have for you, it's because he actually is experiencing it because it is done. It is so. He, God, is experiencing the promise that he made to you. are you tracking with me so not just that i know but god is saying i'm already enjoying i'm already experiencing what i promised you and it's good and it's not evil and i've set it in motion and it is in your future and it belongs to you and it's yours. This is why, Brenda, in 1 Peter, I believe it's 1 and 9, the Bible talks about receiving the end of your faith.

19:35 Can I teach just a little bit? Receiving the end of your faith. So, in other words, learning how to receive and to experience your expectation. we used to sing in the old church don't wait till the battle is over to shout now we know in the end you're gonna win so if you know in the end you're gonna win that really means that you won already so you might as well get excited and you might as well do your victory dance now because God has already done it track with me so the God that we serve is experiencing in real time your healing I gotta say this right he's experiencing it how can he not experience it it's so he said in the motions God and he declares the end from the beginning so he's experiencing what he promised and that's why he's saying have faith be not weary my wife preached it last week be not weary in your well doing for in due season you're going to reap. That means it's already on the calendar.

21:04 All you got to do is keep going. So, here is our issue. Our issue is there is a delta, there's a gap between God's knowing and our knowing.

21:34 There's a delta. God, God is experiencing what he promised us. He's not like worried about it and saying, hey, is it going to happen? It seems a little late. No, he's experiencing it in real time. He already sees it. And that's why sometimes you wonder, God, why would you allow me to go through what I'm going through? and God is saying because you're going through it and I'm not so much concerned about the through because I ordained you to get through it I'm experiencing the end I'm going to make it plain. I'm experiencing what I promised you. I wouldn't have promised you it unless I was already experiencing it. So I communicate from what I'm experiencing.

22:30 Not for what I'm hoping for. Not for what I'm wishing. I'm God. I don't have to wish. Watch this. God doesn't have to pray for it. It's done. So what we got to work on now is that gap. Is that gap. Let me help you to understand how the gap got there. And then if I help you to understand how the gap got there, I'll give you tips and tools to close the gap. And then I'm going to see my wife. Okay. Okay.

23:17 We were designed in the context of knowing. Track with me We were Science teaches us That When the brain does not Have the ability to predict It goes into A fight Flight Or freeze mode A cursory review of psychology Will tell you that It shifts into the part of your brain the amygdala, that is your response. It's the fight, flight, or freeze. Be afraid, fight, or do nothing, which is not the part of you that moves things forward. The part of your brain that moves things forward, the prefrontal cortex is where your executive functioning takes place, where your decisions are made, the creativity, everything that will move you forward in life happens when you're flowing in that side of your brain. Okay? Isn't it interesting that for some reason, watch this, when we cannot predict, we start malfunctioning.

24:39 Track with me. In our design, God designed us. Somehow, someway, here's one. Let me just make it plain. When we don't know, something goes wrong. So, watch this. It is not in our design healthy for us to not know. Oh, you're going to get this. Take a step back. When we cannot predict, we struggle. by design doesn't mean there's something wrong with us by design somehow in our makeup this not knowing puts us in fight flight freeze which has to make us suspicious, and at least it begs the question, were we created to know?

25:40 Because that would make sense if we were created to know, and for some reason we no longer could know, and that creates this dysfunction, that would make sense. Because I'm not doing what I was designed to do, and now I'm struggling. Now, let's go back to Genesis.

26:03 So in the garden... Adam and Eve had communion with God. God the omniscient one was speaking to them and they were perceiving and hearing and receiving and so there is this flowing together there was no need to question there are no questions when you have knowledge questions are where there is ignorance if you have all the knowledge there's no need for a question because all the questions are answered in the knowledge. There's no need for questions. So Adam and Eve were flowing in their knowing.

26:54 And as a result, they were able to experience the abundance of what God had. That's why when he says be fruitful and multiply, he wasn't telling them to do something that was outside of their reach. You have everything that you need at your disposal. All you've got to do is know and you'll flow. Are we tracking?

27:21 So the enemy comes along. You know the story. The enemy comes along, and we think that his chief mission was to get them to eat the fruit. You missed it. What does the enemy do when he approaches them? The first thing he does is, did God really say? He attacks their knowing.

27:49 Come on, don't play with me this morning. I'm going to say a few things, and I'm going to go see my wife. The first thing that the enemy attacks is their knowing. and he does it subtly. Did God really say? Whoa. Did God really say the four most dangerous words in the human experience?

28:22 Did God really say? Because they introduce now something that was foreign to the environment, that is questioning. So here's what we see happening. We see them going from knowing to wondering. that is a powerful break. Woo!

28:57 The distance between knowing and wondering is massive. It's the difference between sickness and health. It's the difference between success and failure. It's the difference between purpose and randomness. It's the difference between being in the will of God and being outside in the will of God, knowing to wandering. That is a dangerous delta. and if I might add, we go from knowing to wondering to wandering.

29:51 Track it in the text. So the enemy attacks them. Watch this. They're flowing in their knowing with God, fruitful and multiplying. Everybody's good. In fact, and they are naked and unashamed. shamed. That means that they have absolutely no fear. And can you imagine what they were doing with no fear? No fear at all. No shame at all. I mean, they are living life and life more abundantly. They are good. They are flowing when they are knowing. But the moment that the enemy comes in there and they start wondering, the next thing you know, they are now wandering. God, Aunt Jackie, has to yell out, Adam, where are you? He says, where are you? And God sees everything.

30:47 So it wasn't that God couldn't find him. He was out of alignment. Adam, you're out of position. You're not in alignment with me, and you can't flow unless you're in alignment with me. What are you doing? Then what does Adam say? He says, I was afraid. and I hit myself and God says you know he says I was afraid and I hit myself God said who told you you were naked Now, what's interesting is he was naked. Scripture says before that he was naked on the shame, but watch this. The framing of his nakedness changed. What he knew about nakedness shifted. So all of this is a breakdown in his knowing.

31:44 That's what the enemy attacked. And that's what he still attacks. we were created to know you're supposed to know i feel the holy ghost you're not supposed to wonder and i'm going to create and prophesy right now in the name of jesus and this is why there's such an attack right now there's an attack because i'm telling you God is about to get his people flowing in their knowing unlike ever before, and they're going to walk and move in something different. If you believe it, just give God about five seconds of praise. I'm getting ready to get my knowing back. I'm getting ready to get my flow back.

32:39 See, there's some people, and the reason why you're wandering is because you're wondering. But God is getting ready to break that wandering, wandering spirit off of you, and there's a clarity that's getting ready to hit your spirit unlike ever before. God told me about three Ps that was going to come into position when you get your knowing back and I'm going to tell you how to get in a second he said three Ps he said purpose your purpose your person and your provision I'm going to say that again your purpose when you get your knowing together your purpose and your provision is coming some of you have been praying about your purpose God is getting ready to bring it to you he's getting ready to give you clarity things are beginning to fall right into place and you're going to start moving and there's going to be an acceleration in your life some of you have been praying about your partner because you believe there's a conviction in your spirit that you're not supposed to be doing this thing alone.

34:05 And when your knowing starts flowing again, your person is going to show up in your life. It's going to be clear. It won't be a counterfeit. It won't be an Ishmael. It's going to be an Isaac, and it is going to work. Are you hearing the words that are coming out of my mouth? Some of you have been praying about your provision. You've been praying about your business. You've been praying about your work. You've been tired of being behind, And the Holy Ghost told me when you start flowing in your knowing, your provision is coming your way. If that's your word, give God a roar in this place. I'm going to get my knowing back because I was created to know. So Jesus comes.

34:55 Jesus comes. and he comes to do a few things. He comes, says this in one of the epistles of John, for this purpose the Son of God was manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil. The number one attack of the devil against your life has to do with what he causes you to believe between your ears. that's why the bible says in second corinthians chapter 10 beginning at verse 3 it says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal right so he is framing the battle that we're in right the weapons of our warfare are not carnal we are in a battle he's saying that they're not carnal but they're mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds the stronghold in that text is not a demon. It is a mentality. Study it when you get a chance. That's why Paul talks about transformation, and he says the transformation takes place, according to Romans 12, according by the renewing of your mind. So the enemy attacks the mind. Why? Because the mind is where you know, right? So we keep reading, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Watch this. Casting down arguments.

36:28 That was an argument in the garden. Did God really say? Casting down arguments and every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself against the what? Knowledge of God. So Paul is telling us that the warfare is over knowing.

39:16 so Jesus comes to destroy those strongholds over our mind then what does he do he gives us the Holy Spirit track with me we're almost there Jesus says hey man I gotta leave John 16, 13. Study when you get a chance. He says, I know we've been rocking together for a few years now. And I know you think I'm all that and I am. I am. True enough.

39:58 That's PT chapter 12. He says, I know you're into me. He says, but trust me, you want me to leave. because if I don't leave, he can't come. And the he that he's talking about is the Holy Spirit. Watch this. Who is the spirit of truth who will lead you into all truth. So I'm breaking off the lies that the enemy told you, one, feel the Holy Ghost. This is a multi-pronged attack. I'm going to bind up the devil like the Air Force, and then I'm going to send the infantry in, and that's going to be the Holy Ghost, and he will be with you, on the ground, with you, leading you and guiding you into all truth.

40:54 But then it gets a little deeper. Then if you go over into 1 Corinthians chapter 2, beginning at verse 9, Paul says, and we shout too early on this verse. We shout in verse 9, we should be shouting in verse 10. Put that up there, 1 Corinthians 2, not in my notes, y'all just got to let me flow. 1 Corinthians 2. So Paul says, but as it is written, I has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart. Oh, looky here, looky here. I have not seen, nor ear heard, I ear, nor have entered into the heart, I hear heart. I has not seen, nor ears heard, nor has it entered to the heart the things that God has prepared for those who love him. We shout too early because that's where we shout, hallelujah, bless the Lord, and we automatically go to glory. We automatically go to heaven, which is wonderful. That is something to shout over, but that's not the context of this.

42:04 The context here is saying that what's getting ready to happen to you, watch this, cannot be perceived by eye. cannot be perceived by ear and cannot be perceived by heart. The one thing that is not mentioned there is mind. Track with me. Track with me.

42:31 Eye is not seen or ear heard, nor is it entered the heart of man, those things that God has prepared for those who love him. But then it says, but. It's connected. This is what we need to shout over. but God has revealed them to us through his spirit. Track with me. For the spirit searches all things. Yes, the deep things of God. Keep it flowing. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Even so, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Let's keep it flowing. It says, now we have received not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God that we might, that we might, that we might, the things that have been freely given to us by God. Keep going, keep going. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. Keep going.

43:55 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. This is all about God giving us his mind by his spirit so that we can freely know. so the strategy of heaven is to break the lie off of your mind that makes you wonder if God said it and God is getting ready to shift it and you are going to go from wishing to hoping to believing to knowing and there's a flow there's a wave coming your way in this season worship God with me if you believe it It's coming.

44:57 And the enemy doesn't want you to know it. The Bible says Those who know their God Shall be strong And they shall carry out Great exploits Daniel spoke that I'm landing In the context Of the last days You're going to know a real believer from a believer by title by what they know. Let me give some practicals and we're out of here. Let me give you some practicals.

45:55 So, hmm, let's just tell somebody, something good is about to happen. Something good is about to happen. So something good is about to happen something good is about to happen something good is about to happen I believe it Hesha I feel it in my spirit something good is about to happen on the backdrop of cray cray on the backdrop of confusion, on the backdrop of loneliness, on the backdrop of tears, on the backdrop of heartbreak, on the backdrop of barely getting by.

46:54 God is getting ready to cause something incredible to happen. If I was my father-in-law, I would tell you to get ready, get ready, get ready. Something's about to happen. Something good is about to happen in your life. Now it makes sense. Now the weapon formed against you makes so much sense. Now the distraction. Now the heartbreak. Now the struggle. Now the wrestling. Let me say this. I want to say this right. God doesn't need perfect circumstances to do a perfect thing. He doesn't need the ingredients of how you would prefer it to happen.

47:57 To do what he's doing, that's what makes him God. I'm thinking about Job in the Bible. You remember Job in the scripture? God was having a conversation with the enemy. And he said, hey, enemy, what you doing? The enemy says, I'm going to and fro throughout the earth, looking to cause some trouble. God said, oh yeah? Have you considered my servant Joe? That was God setting it up to show the devil you can throw your best shot. I want to be obedient because I want us to sit in this anointing.

48:54 I wrote, they'll put it up there. I wrote the summary of this message. I wrote it and I put it on my sub stack. And they're going to put a QR code up there because I want to lean into this. Some things are taught, other things are caught. And this is a caught moment, but I want you to have all the teaching. So if you scan our QR code, it'll take you right to my sub stack and you can experience all the notes You'll see it is powerful. I put it there for you because I wanted you it's so important. I wanted you to chew on it But there's some people under the sound of my voice. and God is shifting something from hoping to knowing.

49:54 God is closing. He's closing that gap here today. He's closing that gap. And it makes all the difference. Who you are when you know. is different from who you are when you hope.

50:16 Those are two different versions of you. The one who is hoping is in fight, flight, freeze. Because you're only hoping. I'm hoping, I'm hoping Your future, your destiny, your calling The promise that's over your life Is worthy of more than you hoping You don't have a hoping God I know the Bible talks about hope and everything But no, no, no, you gotta get to knowing You gotta know I believe, help my unbelief My belief is not my problem. My unbelief is. If I get rid of my unbelief, then my belief grows up and becomes knowing. There's some things that you just got to know.

51:11 See, when you know it's there, you won't quit. You won't quit. If you suspect it's there, you'll quit. Look, Jesus said, ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. That's a very fascinating passage.

51:41 He says, ask. But he says, but the moment that you ask, you receive. But he didn't stop there. He says seek, because seek is proof that you know. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Now, ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and I shall be opened. Knocking is for those who really know. because seeking will lead you up to the door but sometimes that door is closed and if you don't know you'll leave the door but when you know even when you walk up to a closed door you know what God has for you is on the other side of that door so you start I know you're in there open that door Watch this.

52:44 Ain't that what you say? I know you're in there.

54:42 And that's what it's going to take In this season There's a conviction That's going to fall on you About what God promised you A very powerful conviction And the reason why you've been wandering Is because you've been wandering Wandering is the byproduct of wondering Being aligned And in purpose And flowing Is the byproduct of knowing And you are a different person when you know The knower, the knower gets different results than the hoper. And in this age of misinformation and disinformation and just too much information.

55:49 I want you to get those notes but I'm going to tell you this part of in the book I talk about your knower discovering your knower and if you don't have that book why do you not have that book? I mean literally you can start reading two of the most powerful chapters today divine intelligence and misknowing and by the time you finish those two chapters the book will be on your doorstep put the QR code up there if you don't have it, get it for a number of reasons next week I'll be on stage here with the bishop, God willing and we'll have a powerful conversation about it and then I'm going to do a book signing right outside and then I'll go later on in the afternoon to Fort Worth to the doc bookstore there and have another powerful conversation with a young man by the name of Tim Ross.

56:53 And I'll sign books there and I'll fly to New York and have an incredible week, pray for me, of telling the world, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ covered, cloaked in a beautiful yellow book called Knowing. People are going to find Christ that didn't even know it. Pun intended And I want you to have it in your life That's why I'm preaching it But the book takes it much further I want you to have it in your life And I also want you to be a part of this movement I am all the more convinced right now Because of the warfare And also because of the doors that are opening For me to talk about I was on the news twice last week Talking about knowing Mainstream news.

57:46 This is God. Now, I want you to get the study guide. Sub-stack, I want you to read this. But I am going to tell you this, as it relates to knowing and tapping into your knower. And yes, he is the Holy Spirit, the voice of the Lord for your life. But one of the things that I need you to do in this season while we're unpacking this conversation is I need you to truly practice stillness. Getting still, your phone should not be the first thing you reach for in the morning. I say it all the time, and I just want to reiterate, you got to understand that every company in the world has a strategy for your attention. Every company, every company, the millions of companies in the world literally have meetings about how to manipulate your next move, how to control the next move that you make. And all of that manipulation comes through the information that it puts your way. You right now are somebody's strategy. And so stillness, You getting steel, you turning that thing off.

59:08 Watch this. It's an act of resistance. Are you hearing me? Against that which is trying to take your heart, trying to take your mind, and ultimately trying to take your knowing. You've got to protect it. Now I want to pray for you. Get that summary. Get that summary because it's all there, and I can't give it to you all now because I'm going to see my wife. But I want to pray for some people.

59:42 If you're here and you felt, mm, and you felt this word resonating in a deep part of you, and you felt like, man, if I could just... flow from that place. Three things you got to do you got to trace your knower You got to train your knower and you got to trust your knower And if you felt throughout the message That the holy spirit was speaking to you and you felt Something is kidding me I want you to come down Because god is showing you the place where he speaks In your life because he's going to cause you to trace it.

1:00:37 And as you walk it out, and I talk about this in great detail in the book, you're going to train it because it's been with you your whole life. It's been with you your whole life. but you're going to get better at utilizing this inner faculty that God has placed on the inside of us. You're going to get better. You're going to know how to use it right. You're not going to quench it and push it down, but you're going to train it, and it'll be easy to trace, and your discernment is going to go to a whole other level, and it's not going to be a misknowing. It's not going to be fear dressed up like knowing. No. is going to be the real deal. And he will guide you in all matters.

1:01:28 Second point is invitation. If you're here and you haven't met you haven't opened up your heart to the one who made you. If you're here and you just feel, man, this don't feel like church. This feels like something. This feels like God. I mean, it feels like church, but it doesn't feel like, it feels like something is happening in me, not the environment.

1:02:00 It's happening in my inner environment. And I feel God near on the inside and I want to open up my heart to the Lord if that's you I want you to come and meet me here at this altar as well Because that means that God is stirring a man cannot draw you to Christ all a person can do is lift Christ up and

1:02:22 When we lift Christ up he begins to draw so if you hear and you feel the Lord drawing you from the inside. I want you to come because I want to pray for you.

In a season when you're supposed to be knowing, and knowing is available. If you're here, and the Bible says, like sheep, we've all gone astray. And you've gone astray, and it's time to come home. I just want you to meet me at this altar. We're going to pray. We're almost done. and if you hear and you say PT I just want to know I'm tired of being gripped by uncertainty I want to know what God is making freely available to me if that's you I want you to come I'm going to pray for you God is doing something amazing.

Hardest thing I've ever done, which must mean it's going to be the most impactful thing I've ever done. cover my family every single day father I thank you so much for these your precious sons and daughters your precious children God that you've gathered here together here in your house Lord because you love us so much and you are for us and not only God are you for us but you know the plans that you have for us. And these plans are good and not evil. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us.

1:05:03 To give us a future. A future. I hear the Holy Spirit saying it's in front of you. Not behind you. I put eyes on the front of your head, not the back. Because everything that's worthy of your attention is in front of you. Future and a hope. Father, I pray, Lord God, for those who are opening up their hearts to you for the first time. You said, behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone would hear my voice and open the door, I would come in. I will come in. So Father, as we say yes to you, as we yield and say, yes, Lord, not my will, but your will, I thank you for the divine deposit of the Holy Spirit that you're going to make in their lives even now. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God there's some and I say it's purpose for all who are going to be that number that do great exploits because you're going to cause them to know so Father I pray new dimensions of knowing new levels new dimensions of clarity boldness and knowing that we might walk in something different.

1:06:26 And while the world is shaking, all the shaking is doing is putting us into position. And our knowing will determine our going. Hallelujah. God, for those who are returning home, I thank you, God, for a prodigal son and prodigal daughter welcome. I thank you, God, that you bring in your best robe.

1:06:51 You're bringing your best out because you knew they were coming home. You didn't discard Adam because he wandered. You corrected him and said, what are you doing? And then you created a plan of redemption. I thank you, God, that this is a moment of redemption and not just redemption but restoration and everything they thought they missed while they were wandering as they come back into alignment thank you for the doors that are opening thank you for the right relationships that will replace the wrong relationships thank you for the right scenarios the right wisdom the right set of circumstances the blessing that will blow their mind It was the difference between wandering Because they were wondering And knowing Bless these your people Repeat after me Heavenly Father I thank you for your love I feel it Heavenly Father I thank you for this word You spoke to me today I receive it I thank you for Jesus.

1:08:15 Thank you for making him who had no sin all of mine. All of my weakness. All of my limitations. All of my shortcomings. You placed in his body. Nailed it to the cross. And put it to death. And as he was raised up. on the third day, free and victorious. Because I'm in Him, I'm raised up too. Now God, transform me by the renewing of my mind. Holy Spirit, fill me to the overflow that I might freely know the things that God is showing me.

1:09:11 God, this day, I choose to stop hoping and to start knowing. To stop wandering, to stop wondering, but to start flowing.
