00:00:29 Our text today comes from 2 Kings chapter 7 and verse 3 through 9. You'll notice there these words.
00:00:39 "Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate.
00:00:44 And they said to each other, 'Why stay here until we die?
00:00:49 If we say we'll go into the city, the famine is there and we will die.
00:00:55 And if we stay here, we will die. So let's go over to the camp of the Arameans and surrender.
00:01:02 If they spare us, we live. If they kill us, then we die.'
00:01:08 At dusk they got up and they went to the camp of the Arameans.
00:01:13 And when they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there.
00:01:17 For the Lord had called the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army,
00:01:24 so that they said to one another, 'Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and the Egyptian kings to attack us.'
00:01:32 And so they got up and fled in the dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.
00:01:37 They left the camp as it was and ran for their lives.
00:01:42 The men who had leprosy reached the edge of the camp, entered one of the tents and ate and drank,
00:01:47 and then took silver, gold, and clothes and went off and hid them.
00:01:52 And they returned and entered another tent and took some things from it and hid them also.
00:01:57 And then they said to each other, 'What we are doing is not right.
00:02:01 This is the day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves.
00:02:06 If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us.
00:02:11 Let's go at once and report this to the royal palace.'
00:02:15 I'm speaking today from the subject simply, 'Walk it out.'
00:02:19 Walk it out. Walk it out.
00:02:23 Everybody, if you live long enough, you will experience what's considered to be tough times.
00:02:30 But tough times seem to be better for you as long as you don't have to do it alone.
00:02:38 It is a blessing not to have to feel like you are alone.
00:02:43 You know, you can be with people and still feel alone.
00:02:47 You can be lonely in a crowd.
00:02:50 But when you realize that you are not alone, even though you're in a bad situation,
00:02:56 you can feel better if you feel supported and that you are not abandoned by yourself.
00:03:02 And in this story here of what we are seeing in 2 Kings, it is the story of four lepers.
00:03:09 Four lepers. This is a band of brothers.
00:03:13 Sometimes when people have your same plight, you can identify with each other,
00:03:18 but they connect it with each other.
00:03:21 "You show me your friends and I'll show you your future."
00:03:25 So here these four lepers were a band of brothers.
00:03:32 They were identified by this terrible, incurable disease called leprosy
00:03:39 that also caused them to have to be quarantined.
00:03:43 And they had specific instructions as to how they were to conduct themselves.
00:03:48 If they were in public and they were on one side of the road
00:03:51 and someone is coming on the opposite side, you know,
00:03:54 they had to get on the way as far as they could on the other side of the road
00:03:58 so as not to contaminate the other person.
00:04:01 And they had to put their hand over their mouth and declare themselves unclean.
00:04:06 You know, to notify people, "Don't get close. Don't get close."
00:04:12 And so their hand over their face became their mask
00:04:16 so that people could not see them, but they would just say, "Unclean, unclean."
00:04:22 And that was their signal, "Don't come close to me."
00:04:25 But they had a bad situation, but they were in it together.
00:04:30 And if you're in a bad situation, it feels better if you're not in it by yourself.
00:04:36 I don't know about you, but it just makes me feel better if I get lost
00:04:40 if it's just a child in the backseat.
00:04:45 You know, at least you got a partner,
00:04:48 and they may not be able to communicate back to you, but you're like, "What we going to do?"
00:04:54 You start having a conversation with them, you just feel better if you're not alone.
00:04:59 Everybody needs somebody. Don't do life alone.
00:05:03 And you have to be very, very careful about the kind of company that you keep.
00:05:08 I love the words of James Clear when he said that when you choose your friends today,
00:05:13 you're choosing your habits tomorrow
00:05:17 because the habits and the behaviors of your friends are contagious.
00:05:22 You begin to adopt subconsciously their mindset, their attitudes.
00:05:27 You can learn bad attitudes and talking back and stuff
00:05:30 by the behavior of other folks and stuff that you didn't train up in your house,
00:05:35 but they've learned it from somebody that's in close proximity to them.
00:05:40 That stuff is contagious.
00:05:42 And so that's why you have to be careful about who you choose to be in your inner circle.
00:05:48 But these four men, they understood each other.
00:05:52 They felt each other's pain, and they encouraged each other
00:05:56 because all of them are in the same shape.
00:05:59 And it would have been a terrible thing if you had all of them together
00:06:02 and then one of them was one of those naysayers,
00:06:05 the one that was negative that's like, "We'll never make it.
00:06:10 We're doomed.
00:06:12 They're going to catch us. We're going to be arrested.
00:06:15 We can never pull this off."
00:06:18 Thank goodness that none of them were like that.
00:06:21 They sat there and they reasoned with each other.
00:06:24 They discussed it. They thought carefully about it.
00:06:28 And so they're very reasonable.
00:06:30 Though they had an incurable disease, they were not mentally feeble,
00:06:36 so they were thinking their way out.
00:06:39 If you can't think while you're in the box, you'll never get out of the box to think.
00:06:44 So they are in a bad situation,
00:06:47 and they are employing their mental faculties of thinking
00:06:51 until they say to themselves, "Hey, if we stay here, we're in famine.
00:06:57 There's nothing to eat here.
00:06:59 We're going to die if we stay here.
00:07:02 And if we get up and go and surrender to the Arameans,
00:07:06 it says they might keep us alive,
00:07:09 but the worst that they could do is kill us.
00:07:11 If we stay here, we're going to die.
00:07:13 If we go over there, we may die."
00:07:16 So they said, "At least we've got a better chance at life if we get up and go.
00:07:21 If we walk out what we are working out in our mind,
00:07:26 then maybe, maybe we can live."
00:07:29 And so all of them were in agreement.
00:07:31 So you've got a band of brothers dealing in the same...
00:07:35 they're all in the same boat, in the same situation,
00:07:38 and they're thinking through their possibilities.
00:07:42 They're what I would call "possibilitarians."
00:07:45 They're thinking about their possibilities.
00:07:48 "How can we get out of this?"
00:07:50 And they realize that if we stay here, we will die.
00:07:53 If we go there, we may die.
00:07:55 So they're like, "Our odds are better
00:07:58 if we get up and go after something trying to live."
00:08:01 And that's what we ought to do.
00:08:03 It's no good to just write a beautiful vision
00:08:05 and read the vision if you're scared to walk it out
00:08:08 and run with the vision.
00:08:10 So we have to be able to run with the vision.
00:08:13 Listen, when you change your position,
00:08:16 you can also change what you possess.
00:08:19 When you change your position,
00:08:21 you can also change what you possess.
00:08:25 When you change your position.
00:08:27 Don't just sit there, do something.
00:08:29 If you change your position, you can change what you possess.
00:08:32 You'll never possess first prize or second prize
00:08:35 or third prize if you sit there.
00:08:38 You can't just stay at the starting line.
00:08:40 "Yeah, I'm going to do it one day."
00:08:43 You sit at the starting line.
00:08:45 The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:08:49 You got to start something.
00:08:51 You got to start something.
00:08:53 You got to walk this thing out.
00:08:55 The stuff that's been going over in your mind,
00:08:57 the plans that you have, the dreams that are on the inside of you,
00:09:00 you've got to be able to have this thing
00:09:02 to where you will bust a move and walk it out.
00:09:07 The story here of these four lepers that are sitting there,
00:09:13 they needed help from God.
00:09:16 And I would often hear old people say this,
00:09:19 that the Lord will help those who help themselves.
00:09:23 Now, that's not a direct scripture,
00:09:25 but it is sort of based on a principle of scripture.
00:09:29 But God wanted them to do something,
00:09:32 and had they sat there, they would have died.
00:09:35 But when these impoverished, debilitated men
00:09:42 stood up together, though they were weak,
00:09:45 though they are the ostracized of the culture and of the community,
00:09:50 but when they banded together
00:09:53 and they had a vision of what they were going after
00:09:57 with positivity, going with nothing to lose
00:10:00 because they knew there's nothing here.
00:10:03 If we stay here, we're doomed.
00:10:06 We will die. We will suffer.
00:10:09 We will experience hunger if we stay here.
00:10:13 They were going after something.
00:10:15 And the Bible says when they got up,
00:10:18 God calls the Aramean army to hear.
00:10:22 It sounded as though there are four men marching together,
00:10:26 but God made their footsteps sound like it was 400,000
00:10:31 to the degree that these guys said
00:10:34 they must have hired some other kings and their armies
00:10:37 to come and fight against us.
00:10:39 All they heard was a big multitude of people coming against them.
00:10:44 They abandoned the houses, the shop.
00:10:46 They left food on the stove, and they took off and left.
00:10:50 It was as though God took a microphone,
00:10:54 a megaphone. I call it a megaphone.
00:10:58 But God took a microphone and put it to their feet
00:11:03 so that when they marched,
00:11:05 they didn't hear the sound of four men marching.
00:11:08 They heard thousands and hundreds of thousands
00:11:12 marching, and it amplified it.
00:11:15 You've got to give God something to amplify.
00:11:21 Had they never moved, had they never walked it out,
00:11:25 they never would have heard anything.
00:11:27 God has got to have something to work with,
00:11:30 and they gave Him the sound of their feet,
00:11:33 even when nothing else.
00:11:35 He told Moses and Joshua,
00:11:37 "Every place that the soles of your feet shall tread,
00:11:40 that's land that I will give to you.
00:11:42 Walk it out. Walk it out.
00:11:44 I'll let them hear you coming."
00:11:46 When you get ready to start in business,
00:11:48 you may not have much to you right now,
00:11:51 but if you can say, "Listen, I've got a website."
00:11:53 When you've got a website, they can't tell
00:11:55 how many folks you employ.
00:11:57 You can look real big online.
00:11:59 God is simply amplifying.
00:12:01 He'll make you look bigger than you are.
00:12:03 He'll make you sound bigger than you are.
00:12:05 Here you are, just got people multitasking.
00:12:09 The receptionist is going to transfer you
00:12:11 over to customer service,
00:12:13 and now they change their voice.
00:12:14 It's the same person to inventory control,
00:12:17 to accounts receivable and accounts payable,
00:12:20 and it's the same person.
00:12:22 God has an ability, if you'll just launch out
00:12:25 and start the business, you may not have
00:12:27 a different person for every position,
00:12:29 but now you've got people that are working
00:12:31 into different capacities.
00:12:33 That is God amplifying the sound of your feet
00:12:37 to where you can look like you are more
00:12:39 than what you are.
00:12:41 They believe you've got more resources,
00:12:43 more money than what you have.
00:12:45 You look like you're something,
00:12:47 on your way somewhere to heaven.
00:12:49 And if they really knew that everything
00:12:51 you've got is on your body right now,
00:12:53 if they knew that you're just a paycheck
00:12:57 away from being put, if they knew,
00:13:00 but God, he's got something to your feet,
00:13:04 you've got to give a sound by what you walk out.
00:13:08 If you'll walk it out, God will work it out.
00:13:14 Touch somebody and say, "Walk it out, walk it out."
00:13:17 Walk it out.
00:13:21 You may not look like much,
00:13:23 but go ahead and apply for your loan.
00:13:25 Go ahead and write a manuscript.
00:13:27 Go ahead and start your podcast.
00:13:30 Create your website.
00:13:32 Start writing on the manuscript.
00:13:34 Who am I talking to in this place today?
00:13:36 God's just waiting on somebody.
00:13:39 Write your business plan.
00:13:41 Start walking it out.
00:13:43 [applause]
00:13:50 You start writing your manuscript
00:13:52 like you've got a whole team behind you.
00:13:55 And it may not be anything but you and your...
00:13:59 you and your boo.
00:14:02 Sometimes there's nobody but you and your son or your daughter.
00:14:06 Sometimes there's nobody but you and your mama,
00:14:08 but you've got to go with what you've got
00:14:10 and work your plan, plan your work and work your plan,
00:14:13 plan your work and work your plan,
00:14:15 plan your work and work your plan.
00:14:17 You've got to plan it out and work it out, walk it out.
00:14:22 It's amazing. It's amazing.
00:14:25 Billy Cox said that life will only change
00:14:29 when you become more committed to your dream
00:14:32 than to your comfort zone.
00:14:36 When you become more committed to your dream
00:14:40 than your comfort zone.
00:14:43 You've got to be willing to give up the comfort that you have,
00:14:46 the life that you've got.
00:14:47 Those four leprous men said,
00:14:51 "If we stay here, we die."
00:14:53 We've got to give this up to go after something.
00:14:55 I mean, you cannot go up unless you give up.
00:14:59 You've got to give up the level that you're on
00:15:01 in order to go to the next one.
00:15:03 If I'm climbing one rung after another,
00:15:05 I've got to let go of the rung that has brought me this far
00:15:08 to reach forth, forgetting those things
00:15:10 which are behind and pressing forth.
00:15:12 I've got to let go of that before I can possess this.
00:15:15 If I don't let go of the comfort of that,
00:15:17 I'll never be able to have the greater comfort of this.
00:15:20 That's why you've got to walk it out.
00:15:22 You've got to give up the lower life
00:15:23 in order to get the higher life.
00:15:25 Jesus said, "If you're not willing to lose your life,
00:15:29 only then can you gain it if you're willing to lose it.
00:15:32 If you try to hold on to it,"
00:15:33 He said, "you're going to lose it anyway."
00:15:35 I like the way that Jesus says that in the Message Bible
00:15:38 in Matthew chapter 16 in verse 24 through 26.
00:15:41 Notice this.
00:15:42 "Then Jesus went to work on His disciples,"
00:15:44 because, you know, you can't straighten the world out
00:15:46 until you start at home.
00:15:48 He said, "Anyone who intends to come with Me
00:15:52 has to let Me lead."
00:15:54 I think He said that for all of the control freaks.
00:15:57 "Anyone who intends to come with Me has to let Me lead."
00:16:01 Jesus said, "I've got to be Lord.
00:16:03 I've got to be in the driver's seat.
00:16:05 You've got to let Me lead."
00:16:06 He said, "You are not in the driver's seat.
00:16:08 I am."
00:16:09 He says, "Don't run from suffering.
00:16:11 Embrace it.
00:16:12 Stop running from pain.
00:16:14 Embrace it.
00:16:15 Stop running from pain.
00:16:17 Embrace it."
00:16:18 He says, "Follow Me and I'll show you how.
00:16:21 Self-help is no help at all.
00:16:23 Self-sacrifice is the way,
00:16:26 My way to finding yourself, your true self.
00:16:29 What kind of a deal is it to get everything you want
00:16:32 but lose yourself?
00:16:34 What could you ever trade your soul for?
00:16:37 I mean, what does it profit you to gain the whole world
00:16:42 and lose your own soul?
00:16:44 You lose your mind in the process.
00:16:46 Jesus says it's not worth it.
00:16:48 He says, "You've got to trust Me.
00:16:50 You've got to let Me drive.
00:16:52 Let Me be in the driver's seat.
00:16:54 Let Me call the shots and walk with Me and work with Me
00:16:57 and let Me show you how this thing can be done."
00:17:00 It's not through self-service.
00:17:02 It's through self-sacrifice.
00:17:04 You want to be able to please God and build the kingdom of God,
00:17:07 you've got to sacrifice some of the conveniences of yourself.
00:17:09 This is about serving others.
00:17:11 Every time you open up a business, it's about serving people.
00:17:14 And if your business does not answer a problem that is in somebody's life,
00:17:17 your business is irrelevant and unnecessary.
00:17:22 But I realize that the thought of losing your life,
00:17:25 giving up the driver's seat is a scary thought, but do it anyway.
00:17:29 You've got to give up the lower life in order to get the higher life.
00:17:32 This is something that I love that Ryan Holiday said.
00:17:35 He said, "There is nothing worth doing that is not scary."
00:17:39 I want you to hear that again.
00:17:41 "There is nothing worth doing that is not scary.
00:17:44 There is no one who has achieved greatness
00:17:46 without wrestling with their own doubts, anxieties, limitations, and demons."
00:17:53 Can you imagine that?
00:17:55 That whenever you go for anything that's going to have greatness in it,
00:17:58 you don't do it without wrestling with your own doubts and anxieties and limitations
00:18:03 and fighting your own demons in the process.
00:18:06 The little voice back there telling you, "You'll never do anything.
00:18:09 What makes you think that you're qualified to do this?
00:18:11 You don't even have the kinds of qualifications.
00:18:13 You've not been to the schools that they've been to.
00:18:15 You don't have the degrees. You don't have enough stuff on your resume.
00:18:18 Your portfolio is not strong enough for you to be able to do this.
00:18:21 You don't have all of the resources.
00:18:23 But when God is your source,
00:18:27 and you are looking to Him when He is the one that told you to go,
00:18:30 when you go trusting and trembling, trusting and trembling,
00:18:34 when you go trusting and trembling,
00:18:36 that is the greatest manifestation that you have faith,
00:18:40 that I believe you, Lord, that I trust you,
00:18:42 that I think that you're working something out.
00:18:44 Because if you wait until everything is perfect,
00:18:47 if you wait until everything is just right,
00:18:50 you're too late.
00:18:52 You'll be too late.
00:18:54 The party will be over.
00:18:56 Don't wait until everything is perfect.
00:18:59 Get started.
00:19:01 Walk it out.
00:19:03 Work it out. Walk it out.
00:19:05 And work it out. Don't wait until everything is perfect.
00:19:08 Walk it out.
00:19:10 And work it out.
00:19:12 I'm telling you, there is a blessing in just getting up and going
00:19:15 after whatever it is that you want and you need in your life
00:19:18 as opposed to sitting there and waiting.
00:19:22 And you will discover in life that sometimes
00:19:26 God will lead you on a journey
00:19:30 to get to you things that you didn't know that you needed.
00:19:35 He will take you on a journey.
00:19:38 God will lead you on a journey
00:19:42 to give to you things that you didn't even know that you needed.
00:19:47 And then bring you into that place.
00:19:50 You didn't realize that you needed to experience rejection in this place
00:19:57 to build the confidence in it to say, "Yes, I can.
00:20:00 Yes, I can."
00:20:03 It's until somebody begins to tell you, "You'll never make it in this,"
00:20:06 until somebody challenges you, until somebody says, "I dare you."
00:20:10 You didn't realize that you had to deal with cantankerous
00:20:14 and hard to deal with people until God was able to build a strength in you.
00:20:19 He had to put you under a heavy, hard taskmaster
00:20:23 to make you who you are so that you are not coddled
00:20:27 and so fragile that you're crying because somebody
00:20:30 looked at you or refused to speak to you.
00:20:34 Welcome to the world, baby girl and baby boy.
00:20:40 It's going to take more than you're not speaking to me
00:20:44 to stop me from going after my destiny.
00:20:50 God will send you through things that are unpleasant
00:20:53 and that are difficult and that are challenging
00:20:56 because God is more interested in your development
00:21:01 than He is in your comfort.
00:21:07 He's not trying to keep you on the breast and on the baby bottle
00:21:11 for the rest of your life.
00:21:13 At some place and time, you're going to have to learn
00:21:17 how to put some meat in your mouth and masticate and chew
00:21:23 in order to be able to break it down, and it's not going to be
00:21:27 pre-digested for you.
00:21:33 While you're young, they bring food to you, but when you get
00:21:36 a certain age, you better get up and go hunting for something.
00:21:43 And that's why I said that God will lead you on a journey
00:21:48 to develop in you the things that you need that you don't even know
00:21:52 that you need at the time, and once you get here,
00:21:56 you'll look back and say, "Lord, I thank you
00:21:59 that everything that I went through made me who I am today.
00:22:05 Everything, all of my struggles, all of my heartache,
00:22:09 all of my--listen, you got to deal with fake people
00:22:13 in order to appreciate loyalty."
00:22:23 Until you've had somebody to abuse you, you don't know
00:22:25 what care feels like.
00:22:28 You'll think that you deserve that.
00:22:30 You've been abused and molested for so long,
00:22:32 you'll think it's normal, and when somebody treats you
00:22:34 with love and courtesy and respect and honor,
00:22:38 now it's strange to you, but God lets you go through that
00:22:42 and out of that on your journey.
00:22:46 He made you to be able to appreciate.
00:22:49 That's why Maya Angelou said, "I wouldn't take nothing
00:22:52 for my journey because that's what made me who I am
00:22:57 and had everything been given to me, I would have been soft
00:23:00 and easy and delicate and fragile and coddled,
00:23:04 and I would have been a mess, and I would have expected
00:23:07 everybody to do something for me because everybody
00:23:09 has always served me."
00:23:11 But God says, "Your greatest help is at the end
00:23:13 of your own two elbows."
00:23:17 He's saying, "Get up and walk it out.
00:23:19 Who am I talking to in this place today?"
00:23:25 It's amazing. It's amazing.
00:23:28 But I love the words of James Allen that said,
00:23:31 "You cannot travel within and stand still without."
00:23:37 You can't travel on the inside.
00:23:38 Have you ever been in a place where you're sitting down
00:23:41 in a chair or you're standing someplace and your mind
00:23:44 goes off into this daydream land, but you're traveling
00:23:47 on the inside?
00:23:50 You already see yourself going places.
00:23:53 They had a lady that won the Miss America pageant,
00:23:56 and they asked her when she won, in interviewing her,
00:23:59 they said, "What did it feel like to walk that aisle
00:24:06 and do that wave as Miss America?"
00:24:09 And the girl said, "I have already taken that walk
00:24:12 700 times in my mind.
00:24:14 700 times.
00:24:17 I have walked that, and I've given the light bulb wave
00:24:20 in my mind 700 times."
00:24:24 When you move on the inside, it's just a matter of time.
00:24:28 There's a nerve here that signals, sends signals
00:24:31 down there and says, "Start moving down there,"
00:24:34 but you can't hold a person down who's got a fighter
00:24:38 on the inside of them.
00:24:41 You can knock them down, but you can't hold them down
00:24:44 because when they got a tiger and a lion on the inside
00:24:47 of them, "Hurt me and lie on me and scandalize my name,
00:24:52 but I'm coming back.
00:24:53 I'm coming after you.
00:24:54 I'm coming back."
00:24:56 When you got a mover on the inside of you,
00:24:58 don't let anybody break your spirit.
00:25:03 As long as you keep moving, you can't travel within
00:25:07 and then stand still without.
00:25:09 You cannot.
00:25:10 You cannot.
00:25:11 You cannot.
00:25:13 Before I was ever going around the world,
00:25:15 I had a vision, a visitation by Jesus back in the 1970s
00:25:20 and began to show me.
00:25:21 I started traveling in spirit before I ever traveled
00:25:25 physically in body.
00:25:27 My spirit would go.
00:25:28 I would see places and people that I had never seen physically
00:25:32 and I saw people with turbans on and with dots in the center
00:25:35 of their foreheads and their eyes were slanted.
00:25:37 I saw them in the realm of the spirit.
00:25:40 I traveled in spirit before I ever got on the plane
00:25:43 to travel there.
00:25:45 And then when I have recognized the masses of these people
00:25:49 that I saw in spirit as a 15-year-old,
00:25:54 all of a sudden it's coming back to me and I'm experiencing
00:25:57 deja vu in the real place that I've already traveled here
00:26:03 by spirit.
00:26:04 I saw you.
00:26:06 You cannot travel within and stand still on the outside.
00:26:13 Somebody ought to be able to see something and that's why these
00:26:16 four leprous men saw themselves going before they actually
00:26:21 got up to go.
00:26:24 The beautiful thing about it is that you cannot undo a move
00:26:28 but you can make your next one better.
00:26:31 You cannot undo a move but you can make your next one better.
00:26:36 You cannot undo a move but you can make your next one better.
00:26:42 It's time for better moves now.
00:26:45 You know why?
00:26:46 Because you've got the mistakes that you've made back there.
00:26:49 Not your best move.
00:26:51 You haven't made your best moves yet.
00:26:53 I'm just telling you, you've not made your best moves yet.
00:26:57 Jesus is the type that saves the best wine for last.
00:27:02 I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you,
00:27:04 He's got a--that's a level of joy.
00:27:07 That is a level of joy.
00:27:09 You know the word in Spanish for retired?
00:27:13 Jubilado.
00:27:15 Like jubilant.
00:27:17 Jubilant.
00:27:19 It doesn't mean sad that you're not going to work every day.
00:27:23 No, no, no.
00:27:25 I'm in a state of jubilation.
00:27:27 I cannot wait.
00:27:28 I just--I start inbring all of my friends that are telling me that they're retired.
00:27:32 I told them the word in Spanish, jubilado, retired.
00:27:36 Jubilado.
00:27:37 I'm jubilant.
00:27:38 Jubilant.
00:27:39 Full of joy.
00:27:40 I'm glad about it.
00:27:43 I'm glad I'm in a state of power and position.
00:27:47 And I'm not there because I have to be.
00:27:49 I'm there because I want to be there.
00:27:52 My God, what a place of power.
00:27:54 What a place of jubilation when you can say, "I could walk away from this at any time."
00:27:58 But I'm not here for the money.
00:28:00 I'm here for the joy.
00:28:02 Joy.
00:28:04 My God, I'm telling you, if your next move doesn't lead you into a place of joy,
00:28:09 you may as well stay where you are.
00:28:15 I'll be dogging if I would come out of one bad marriage and hop in another bad one.
00:28:20 Make your next move better, better, better.
00:28:23 You can't undo the bad move back there, but you can make your next one better.
00:28:31 I'm just telling you, it's time now to bust a move.
00:28:34 I've told you before that whatever sits goes bad.
00:28:37 Let your legs sit too long.
00:28:39 It'll go to sleep.
00:28:40 I mean, after a while, you'll--whatever sits goes bad.
00:28:44 You let fruit sit, it will go bad.
00:28:46 You let milk sit, it will go bad.
00:28:49 Let meat sit, it will go bad.
00:28:51 Let your mind sit, it will go bad.
00:28:54 Let your car sit, it will go bad.
00:28:56 Let your children sit, they will go--oh, my, my.
00:29:02 Talk to somebody and say, "Walk it out, walk it out.
00:29:04 You were not designed to sit.
00:29:05 Walk it out.
00:29:06 Walk it out.
00:29:07 Walk it out.
00:29:08 Walk it out."
00:29:13 Whatever sits goes bad.
00:29:16 We are designed to walk.
00:29:18 We are designed to walk.
00:29:20 For we walk by faith and not by--walk in the Spirit
00:29:25 and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
00:29:28 Walk in love, the Bible says.
00:29:30 The Bible says walk circumspectly.
00:29:33 The Bible says walk honestly.
00:29:35 The Bible says walk worthy of Him who has called you.
00:29:38 The Bible says walk in wisdom.
00:29:40 The Bible says walk in the light as He is in the light.
00:29:46 You have fellowship with one another
00:29:48 and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
00:29:52 The Bible says walk in my statutes.
00:29:54 Walk, walk, walk.
00:29:57 Walk together, children.
00:29:58 Don't you get weary.
00:29:59 There is a great camp meeting in the--in the promised land.
00:30:05 There really is.
00:30:07 Your destiny is not determined by the shoes that you wear
00:30:10 but by the steps that you take.
00:30:13 Your destiny is not determined by the shoes.
00:30:17 That you wear.
00:30:19 And I know you got some fine shoes and designer stuff
00:30:22 but your success is not determined on whether there's a red bottom on there.
00:30:27 No, no, no, no, no.
00:30:30 It's not by the shoes you wear.
00:30:32 It's the steps.
00:30:34 The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord.
00:30:36 Psalm 37, 23.
00:30:38 The steps, steps, steps.
00:30:40 When you start stepping up then God will say, "You go and I'll go with you.
00:30:44 "You go and I will go with you.
00:30:45 "You go and I will go with you."
00:30:48 And it's one of the healthiest things that you can do almost at any age
00:30:51 is to keep walking, keep walking, keep on walking, keep on walking, keep on walking.
00:30:56 Here's what the Harvard Medical School published.
00:30:58 Five surprising benefits of walking.
00:31:01 Number one, it counteracts the effects of weight-promoting genes.
00:31:05 Weight-promoting genes.
00:31:07 It counteracts the effects of that.
00:31:09 Number two, it helps to tame a sweet tooth.
00:31:11 You craving banana pudding and red velvet cake and sweet potato pie and peach cobbler?
00:31:17 It helps to tame a sweet tooth.
00:31:19 Go for a walk!
00:31:21 It will help to tame a sweet tooth.
00:31:23 Number three, it reduces the risk of developing breast cancer.
00:31:26 Number four, it eases joint pain.
00:31:29 You're in joint pain, go for a walk.
00:31:31 It eases joint pain.
00:31:33 I didn't say this. This is Harvard Medical School.
00:31:36 Number five, it boosts immune function.
00:31:39 You'll be stronger against COVID, against colds, against the flu.
00:31:42 It boosts immune function just by walking, walking.
00:31:46 They said just getting up from your desk and taking a walk around will trigger ideas.
00:31:55 I used to watch my father give dictations to his secretary.
00:31:58 You know, in those days, it seems like something from prehistoric times.
00:32:05 And oftentimes, his thoughts would not flow until he would be walking sort of back and forth
00:32:10 and she'd be sitting there with a yellow legal pad taking down the notes
00:32:15 and he would say, "Dear Mr. Johnson, as I was thinking about you and the next thing that we ought to do,"
00:32:22 and he would be pacing oftentimes back and forth while he dictated letters to her.
00:32:30 It stimulated the flow of his ideas.
00:32:33 Sometimes if you just--if you ever get writer's block, just get up and take a walk.
00:32:38 Get up and start moving.
00:32:40 A Stanford University study found that creative output increased 60%
00:32:46 when participants were walking even when they were on a treadmill facing a blank wall.
00:32:52 Now, that ought to tell you something.
00:32:54 Your creativity, the output increased 60%. That's remarkable.
00:33:00 Even when they were on a treadmill facing a blank wall,
00:33:03 there's something about just taking steps, just changing your position.
00:33:07 When you change your position, you can change what you possess.
00:33:10 Walking gives you an opportunity to breathe.
00:33:13 It gives you an opportunity to breathe.
00:33:15 It gives you an opportunity to move those joints, those muscles, all of that.
00:33:22 It gives you an opportunity to orient to the present moment
00:33:26 because the digital world and the metaverse has taken us out of the present moment.
00:33:32 You can barely have a conversation with a person
00:33:34 without the interruption of their feeling the vibrations of a direct message.
00:33:39 It orients you to the present moment.
00:33:41 So when you go for a walk, you have to be considerate about your next step
00:33:45 and different changes in the gradation of the ground that's under you.
00:33:49 It orients you to the present.
00:33:52 Just take a walk.
00:33:53 You'll get more benefits than what you realize when you walk it out.
00:33:57 God's working some other things out on your behalf.
00:34:01 They've also discovered that walking is a powerful tool
00:34:04 to combat depression, anxiety, feeling stuck,
00:34:10 feeling helpless, and even feeling shut down.
00:34:14 Just walk. Just walk. Just walk.
00:34:17 I want you to see another story
00:34:19 because we've looked at this one in 2 Kings about these four leprous men.
00:34:24 But Jesus talks about a group of lepers.
00:34:27 In Luke chapter 17, verse 11 through 19, notice these that Jesus encountered.
00:34:33 "As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem,
00:34:35 He reached the border between Galilee and Samaria.
00:34:38 And as He entered a village there, ten men with leprosy,"
00:34:42 here they are again, "ten leprous men stood at a distance, crying out,
00:34:46 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!'
00:34:49 And He looked at them and said, 'Go.'"
00:34:52 It's God's nickname.
00:34:54 "Go. Go show yourselves to the priest.
00:34:58 Go show yourselves to the priest."
00:35:00 Why? Because in Leviticus chapter 14 and verse 2,
00:35:03 the Bible says any healed person had to go and present themselves,
00:35:06 show themselves to the priest.
00:35:07 The priests in this time were not people
00:35:09 that just performed sacerdotal functions of the priesthood.
00:35:14 They also served like medicine men.
00:35:16 They were actually like physicians.
00:35:18 They diagnosed disease and they gave treatment for it.
00:35:21 And they also had to recommend when you needed to be quarantined.
00:35:24 So that's why you had to go to the priest
00:35:26 because if you had leprosy, it was highly contagious.
00:35:29 They didn't want you to infect the whole community.
00:35:31 So the priest, if you were so-called cleaned of it, cured of it,
00:35:35 you'd have to go to the priest and the priest would have to examine you
00:35:38 and make sure that this thing was cleared up.
00:35:41 So He says, "Go show yourself to the priest."
00:35:43 "As they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy."
00:35:47 When did they get cleansed?
00:35:48 "As they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy."
00:35:52 We want to be cleansed before we leave.
00:35:54 "As they went, as they went, as they walked it out,
00:35:59 they were cleansed of their leprosy."
00:36:01 And then notice verse 15,
00:36:03 "One of them, when he saw that he was healed,
00:36:05 came back to Jesus shouting, 'Praise God!'
00:36:08 He fell to the ground at Jesus' feet,
00:36:12 thanking Him for what He had done."
00:36:15 This man was a Samaritan.
00:36:17 I wonder why does the Bible go to the extent of telling us
00:36:20 that this particular man, the only one out of the ten, was a Samaritan.
00:36:25 It is because the Samaritans were the despised, hated cousins of the Jews.
00:36:30 And everybody else got healed
00:36:34 and never came back to Jesus to thank Him.
00:36:36 Wonder why?
00:36:38 Because they were Jews just like Jesus was a Jew.
00:36:40 They felt entitled.
00:36:42 You thought that you were the entitlement generation.
00:36:45 But no, no, no.
00:36:47 Entitlement is a thing that's been around for a long time.
00:36:49 They felt entitled.
00:36:51 The Samaritan didn't feel entitled.
00:36:54 He's like, "Y'all don't have anything to do with me, my kind.
00:36:58 You don't have anything to do with me."
00:37:00 So he was not entitled. He was entrusted.
00:37:04 He was entrusted with a grace that came from Jesus.
00:37:08 You're not entitled. You're entrusted.
00:37:10 You have to tell your children, "You're not entitled.
00:37:13 You're entrusted with a dignity, with a legacy in this family.
00:37:16 You're entrusted with a set of skills.
00:37:19 You're entrusted with responsibility.
00:37:21 You're not entitled to anything. Nobody owes you anything."
00:37:25 And he understood, "Nobody owes me, so whatever I get, Lord, I'm thankful."
00:37:29 And he said, "Praise God."
00:37:31 He said, "I'm a Samaritan. They don't even like my kind around here."
00:37:34 But so he says, "I don't feel entitled at all.
00:37:36 I realize that I have a charitable grace gift that has been given to me.
00:37:40 I've been healed, and I didn't deserve it.
00:37:42 Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus."
00:37:44 And he was the only one. He was the only one.
00:37:46 Jesus had something to say about it.
00:37:48 I want you to notice in verse 17.
00:37:51 Jesus said, "Didn't I heal ten men?"
00:37:56 He said, "Where are the other nine?
00:37:58 Where are the other entitled dudes? Where are the other...
00:38:01 You ungrateful...
00:38:04 Where are the other nine?
00:38:06 Has no one to return to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
00:38:11 And Jesus said to the man, "Stand up and go!"
00:38:15 There he puts him on the go.
00:38:17 He says, "Your faith has healed you.
00:38:19 Your faith has healed you. Your faith has...
00:38:21 Stand up and go!"
00:38:23 He was healed as he went.
00:38:25 Before he could get to the priest,
00:38:28 he's walking along and all of a sudden
00:38:30 he looks at his hands and his hands look new.
00:38:32 He looked at his feet and they did too.
00:38:34 He started to walk and he had a new walk.
00:38:36 He started to talk and he had...
00:38:38 He knew something had happened
00:38:40 before he could even get to the priest.
00:38:42 He realized, "God has done a work in me.
00:38:46 He's healed me. He's delivered me.
00:38:48 He's set me free. He's changed my social status.
00:38:51 He's brought me from being condemned,
00:38:53 the ostracize of the community.
00:38:55 He has changed my future."
00:38:59 He was grateful,
00:39:02 but he discovered it as he walked.
00:39:05 As he walked.
00:39:07 And I'm here to tell you that this is not about legalism,
00:39:10 but there is always
00:39:12 and there always will be a blessing in obedience.
00:39:16 There's a blessing in obedience.
00:39:18 Isaiah chapter 1 verse 19 and 20.
00:39:20 Notice what the Word of the Lord says.
00:39:22 "If you are willing and obedient..."
00:39:24 Willing is an attitude of the Spirit.
00:39:26 Obedience is an action of the body.
00:39:28 A person can be obedient.
00:39:30 They can be doing it and then mumbling under their breath.
00:39:32 That person is obedient, but they are not willing.
00:39:35 Submission is of the heart.
00:39:37 Obedience is an action.
00:39:39 Submission is this will where you're willing.
00:39:41 He said, "If you are willing and obedient,
00:39:44 you shall eat the good of the land."
00:39:46 And then notice what he said,
00:39:48 "But if you refuse and rebel,
00:39:50 you shall be devout with the sword."
00:39:52 There's a sword coming after you.
00:39:54 Rebellion is a sin of witchcraft.
00:39:56 He said, "If you refuse and if you rebel,
00:39:58 you shall be devout with the sword."
00:40:00 A sword is coming after you.
00:40:02 "For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it."
00:40:04 The sword goes against every rebel spirit,
00:40:07 every renegade spirit, every spirit that is unwilling
00:40:10 and every spirit that is disobedient.
00:40:12 There's a sword of the Lord, the sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
00:40:15 It is the sword, the sword of the...
00:40:17 which is the Word of God. It's the Word of God.
00:40:19 And nothing proves our obedience to God better
00:40:22 than our obeying Him when we have no proof
00:40:24 that what He says will work.
00:40:26 That's why we go trusting and trembling.
00:40:28 You go and you trust the process.
00:40:30 You go and trust the process.
00:40:34 And I'm just here to tell you that there is a medical reason
00:40:36 sometimes that we need to walk.
00:40:39 He might be trying to regulate your hormones, your emotions.
00:40:42 He might be trying to strengthen your immune system.
00:40:45 My oldest brother was driving his little fancy sports car.
00:40:49 He had a Corvette and different kinds of things.
00:40:51 I don't remember which one he was in,
00:40:53 but he was driving his car to work one day
00:40:55 and some type of insect flew in and stung him.
00:40:59 And he began to see whelps come up
00:41:02 as an allergic reaction on his body.
00:41:05 He's a chemist and so he's thinking through some things.
00:41:07 He didn't sit and pray.
00:41:09 He got out of his car and started running.
00:41:12 The reason that he started running is because he had sense enough
00:41:15 to know that if I run, I can sweat out of my pores
00:41:19 the toxin that has just infected me.
00:41:23 And he ran until he sweated all of the toxin out
00:41:26 and then bam! The swelling disappeared.
00:41:31 Sometimes God needs you to bust a move and walk it out
00:41:36 to get the toxins out.
00:41:40 Negativity is toxicity.
00:41:43 Resentment is toxicity.
00:41:45 Unforgiveness is toxicity.
00:41:47 Sometimes you need to walk in love.
00:41:49 You need to walk in grace.
00:41:50 You need to walk in forgiveness.
00:41:52 You've got to walk in certain things in order to even get free.
00:41:55 You can't get it out of you until you walk it out.
00:41:58 Touch somebody and say, "Walk it out. Walk it out. Walk it out. Walk it out."
00:42:03 What has stung you that has made you toxic?
00:42:07 What has stung you?
00:42:09 Betrayal? Divorce?
00:42:12 A wrongful termination of a job?
00:42:14 An early death of a loved one?
00:42:16 What has stung you?
00:42:18 The failure to be able to get a raise or a promotion?
00:42:20 What has stung you?
00:42:22 Being a victim of a crime or a victim of abuse?
00:42:25 What has stung you?
00:42:28 What has stung you?
00:42:30 What do you need to sweat out of your system?
00:42:33 What do you need to start walking and doing
00:42:35 and all of a sudden you will just realize -
00:42:37 sometimes you don't even realize -
00:42:39 when the last bit of your toxicity left you,
00:42:42 all that you knew is that you were there
00:42:44 washing somebody's feet, working up a sweat.
00:42:47 And you don't even understand why you got to work so hard.
00:42:49 Maybe God is keeping you free of toxic, bad attitudes.
00:42:54 "Why do we got to all be..."
00:42:56 And when you start working, positive endorphins
00:42:59 start being released in you
00:43:01 and you start serving other people instead of being self-serving
00:43:04 and you get a dopamine rush.
00:43:06 And all of a sudden now, while I'm serving,
00:43:09 instead of self-serving,
00:43:11 my God, when you get your eyes off of the mirror,
00:43:14 that's the power, the curse of silver.
00:43:17 Silver lets you see your own reflection
00:43:20 and you can't see other people.
00:43:22 But when you ask, "God, make me a servant.
00:43:26 "Lord, if there's anybody, Lord, send me.
00:43:29 "Here am I, Lord. Send me.
00:43:32 "Whom shall I send and who will go for us?"
00:43:35 God's still asking that question.
00:43:38 In a corrupt society, whom will I send
00:43:41 and who will go for me?
00:43:43 Who will go for us?
00:43:45 Who will represent us in the earth,
00:43:47 in truth, when people are trying to act like
00:43:49 you don't know what a definition of simple terms mean?
00:43:53 Who will represent truth?
00:43:55 Who will stand for justice?
00:43:57 Listen, here's what I say.
00:43:59 Work it out in your mind and then walk it out.
00:44:02 And if you have trouble working it out in your mind,
00:44:05 start walking anyway because ideas will flow
00:44:08 and clarity will come.
00:44:10 Just work it out in your mind and then walk it out.
00:44:14 And if you have trouble working it out in your mind,
00:44:17 start walking anyway and ideas will flow
00:44:19 and clarity will come.
00:44:21 You do not have to build confidence
00:44:24 before you start moving.
00:44:26 Moving produces confidence.
00:44:29 Just start walking. Just start doing it.
00:44:32 Start doing it. Start doing it.
00:44:35 Just start doing it.
00:44:38 In St. John chapter 9, verse 5 through 7,
00:44:40 Jesus said, "But while I'm here in the world,
00:44:42 I'm the light of the world."
00:44:44 And then notice He spit on the ground
00:44:47 and made mud with the saliva
00:44:49 and spread the mud over the blind man's eyes
00:44:51 and He told him, "Go wash in the pool of Siloam."
00:44:55 The word "Siloam" means "scent."
00:44:58 So the man went and washed and came back seeing.
00:45:04 What negative experience do you need to go and wash
00:45:08 so that you can see?
00:45:10 You can't even see straight.
00:45:12 You're misinterpreting something because your lens is dirty.
00:45:16 And where has the Holy Spirit sent you
00:45:20 and what has He sent you to do?
00:45:23 Where? Go scent Siloam.
00:45:26 Where is your scent?
00:45:28 Where has the Holy Spirit sent you
00:45:30 and what has He sent you to do?
00:45:34 Where has the Holy Spirit sent you?
00:45:37 Sent! There's a Siloam for every human being
00:45:39 who's on the planet.
00:45:41 Where has He sent you and what has He sent you to do?
00:45:44 He sent you to Siloam. Scent. The scent place.
00:45:47 It's the work of the Apostle. It's the scent place.
00:45:50 An Apostle is a scent one who scents other ones.
00:45:53 And so you're sent to a place to do something.
00:45:56 Go wash and then you'll come again seeing.
00:45:59 We want to be able to see clearly and we haven't gone anywhere.
00:46:02 God says you go and then you'll see.
00:46:05 Curses get you stuck. Blessings set you free.
00:46:08 Here's my prophetic word to you for today.
00:46:11 Never allow yourself to get comfortable
00:46:14 in a place where you should be delivered.
00:46:18 Never! Never allow yourself to get comfortable
00:46:21 in a place where you should be delivered.
00:46:24 I don't want to get comfortable in prison.
00:46:27 I don't want to get comfortable in debt.
00:46:29 I don't want to get comfortable in an abusive relationship.
00:46:32 I don't want to get comfortable in an addiction.
00:46:34 I don't want to get comfortable in sin.
00:46:37 Never get comfortable in a place where you ought to be delivered.
00:46:41 Go! Where is your Siloam?
00:46:44 The place where you are sent.
00:46:47 It is like the woman with the issue of blood.
00:46:51 Mark chapter 5.
00:46:54 She said, "If I may but touch His clothes."
00:46:58 She'd suffered things of doctors,
00:47:01 a bleeding disorder, hemorrhaging for 12 long years,
00:47:05 and the Bible says she spent everything she had
00:47:08 and was nothing bettered but rather grew worse.
00:47:11 What adds insult to injury
00:47:14 is when you're sick and then you lose all of your money
00:47:17 trying to get well and you're still sick.
00:47:19 They still didn't fix the problem.
00:47:21 The operation still didn't do the trick.
00:47:23 The medicine still didn't do the trick.
00:47:25 And now you're still sick.
00:47:27 But she heard, she kobosityfishin' on,
00:47:30 that there's a stranger in town,
00:47:32 and she heard that he was healing the sick.
00:47:35 And she said, "If I may but..."
00:47:38 She couldn't do that.
00:47:40 She didn't say, "I want to sit here in my apartment in my little flat
00:47:43 "and I'm going to just believe for good things to happen my way."
00:47:46 No, no, no, she got up.
00:47:48 "That was her Siloam. I'm sent here.
00:47:50 "If I can see Him, if I can get to Him."
00:47:52 And she said, "If I may but touch the..."
00:47:56 If I can just get the...
00:48:00 You know why the hem of the garment...
00:48:03 The hem represents the finished work.
00:48:05 The last thing they do on a man's suit
00:48:08 is to put a hem in it.
00:48:10 When they hem it, it's finished.
00:48:13 It is finished.
00:48:15 With His stripes, you are healed.
00:48:18 It's the finished work.
00:48:20 She was touching, "Viceferitoso."
00:48:23 She was touching the finished work.
00:48:27 That with His stripes, I am...
00:48:29 And the Bible said that as soon as she touched Him,
00:48:32 faith said, "Go, go, go."
00:48:34 Doubt said, "Get your hand back."
00:48:37 Faith said, "Touch Him."
00:48:39 Insecurity said, "Draw back."
00:48:41 Faith said, "Go with everything you've got."
00:48:45 But the insecurities, that voice was still there.
00:48:49 You'll hear the negative voice anyway.
00:48:52 "Go anyhow. Go anyhow. Walk anyhow. Believe anyhow."
00:48:57 I declare to you today,
00:48:59 Jesus gave us a great command in Matthew chapter 28.
00:49:03 "Go, go ye into all."
00:49:05 It is the great commission
00:49:07 that we make the great omission.
00:49:10 Go into all the world. Go, go, go, go.
00:49:12 He's telling you, "Go, go."
00:49:14 If you'll go, there'll get healed.
00:49:16 Go. Teach them. Teach them. Teach them.
00:49:18 Teach them. There's a generation that needs to be taught.
00:49:21 They need to know what you know.
00:49:23 They need your anointing.
00:49:24 They need your prayer life.
00:49:25 Go. Go.
00:49:26 How dare you sit here?
00:49:28 Go. Go.
00:49:29 Go to your neighborhoods.
00:49:31 Go to your school.
00:49:32 Go to your council meeting.
00:49:33 Go. Go. Go.
00:49:35 Go to the business community.
00:49:37 Go. Go.
00:49:38 That's the only way that you're going to get healed.
00:49:41 That's healing in the going.
00:49:42 That's healing in the going.
00:49:43 I know you don't feel like going,
00:49:45 but you go and you'll get healed.
00:49:46 If you'll go believing,
00:49:47 if you'll go and touch this thing and say,
00:49:49 "Jesus, I believe, God, that you've got healing for me.
00:49:52 I believe you've got healing for me, Jesus.
00:49:54 I believe it.
00:49:55 I believe that you'll heal my mind.
00:49:57 I believe you'll heal my family.
00:49:58 I believe you'll heal my mother, my father,
00:50:00 my sister, my son, my daughter.
00:50:02 I believe it.
00:50:03 Lord, I'm going in faith.
00:50:05 I'm going in faith.
00:50:06 I'm going in faith."
00:50:09 Sometimes you've just got to go and do what God tells you to do.
00:50:13 My mother was scheduled to speak one time,
00:50:15 and she's always had a mother's heart.
00:50:20 And when it came time for Mama to go and speak,
00:50:23 my baby brother was sick,
00:50:27 and he would have bronchitis,
00:50:28 and flare up, and he could barely breathe,
00:50:30 and he was running a high fever.
00:50:34 And Mama's got people waiting on her.
00:50:37 And yet there was an assurance of the Holy Ghost
00:50:39 on the inside of Mama that said,
00:50:42 "If you go and tell people about my son,
00:50:44 I'll take care of yours."
00:50:48 And as an act of Mama's faith,
00:50:51 when Mama put her clothes on,
00:50:53 and she went out to deliver the word of the Lord,
00:50:57 and I went and played for her,
00:51:02 and God moved, and God delivered,
00:51:06 and when she got home, my baby brother was healed.
00:51:09 I tell you, when you take care of the affairs of his son,
00:51:12 God will take care of the affairs of yours.
00:51:15 I declare that if you will go, if you will go,
00:51:18 He has given us a great commission.
00:51:19 Go!
00:51:21 I'm telling you, there's some healing.
00:51:23 There's good news.
00:51:25 God had something planted along the journey for them,
00:51:29 and He just wanted them to just get up.
00:51:32 Had they sat there, they never would have seen
00:51:34 what God had provided.
00:51:36 You don't know what God has provided,
00:51:38 what is waiting for you.
00:51:40 [speaking in tongues]
00:51:44 What you're believing for is not coming to you.
00:51:48 You must go to it.
00:51:51 "Everything that you desire," says the Lord,
00:51:54 "is waiting for you in a place called obedience."
00:51:59 [audience murmurs]
00:52:02 "And when you obey, you will find things there
00:52:06 "that will exceed your expectations," says the Lord.
00:52:10 [speaking in tongues]
00:52:14 It's time to go.
00:52:15 I'm telling you, it's time to walk some things out.
00:52:18 How can you sit there in the day of good news?
00:52:21 I'm telling you, God will cause them to hear something
00:52:24 and to see something that blows their mind.
00:52:28 And God did it for you.
00:52:30 He did it for you.
00:52:31 He did it for you.
00:52:33 But you've got to be able to come.
00:52:35 Come, come ye to the waters.
00:52:37 Come buy wine and meat without price and without money.
00:52:43 Come, come, come, come ye to the waters.
00:52:45 Come.
00:52:47 The great commission of God is come.
00:52:50 That means you have to change your position
00:52:53 in order to change your possession.
00:52:55 You have to come.
00:52:56 You have to get up from the place where you are.
00:52:59 Get up, take up your mat, and walk.
00:53:03 Whatever has crippled you,
00:53:06 whatever has marred you in your thinking,
00:53:11 whatever has psychologically scarred you,
00:53:14 whatever trauma that you've been through,
00:53:17 Jesus, hebesh keli amos, came to set the captive free.
00:53:23 Come ye to the waters, hebesh keli amos.
00:53:28 He's calling for a generation that has been lost out in a desert place.
00:53:33 And even when you can't see him,
00:53:36 he'll let you hear his voice.
00:53:39 And it will be like echolocation.
00:53:42 And I don't exactly know where you are, Lord,
00:53:44 but I heard your voice.
00:53:46 And I'll follow your voice.
00:53:48 I'll follow your voice even when I can't see you.
00:53:50 I can hear your voice.
00:53:53 And you'll have to go while you're hurting.
00:53:58 You don't wait until you get healed.
00:54:00 You have to walk with your limp.
00:54:04 You have to go when you're feeling like you're half dead sometimes,
00:54:07 but at the same time you're half alive.
00:54:15 When the Spirit says to the bride and to the groom, "Come,"
00:54:22 change your position.
00:54:24 "Come."
00:54:26 When you come,
00:54:29 it demonstrates our subjection to the one who is the authority.
00:54:34 The king doesn't come to you.
00:54:35 You come to the king.
00:54:39 The lesser comes to the greater.
00:54:41 "Come."
00:54:44 "Come unto me, all of you that labor and are heavily--"
00:54:47 "Come, come, come."
00:54:49 Change it.
00:54:50 "Walk, walk, walk, walk it out."
00:54:52 Some of you, as you walk, you'll be healed.
00:54:54 Some of you, as you walk it out, God is working it out.
00:54:57 "Yeah, but I sell a bullshit."
00:54:59 You watch him.
00:55:00 You watch him.
00:55:01 You watch him.
00:55:02 You watch what God will do.
00:55:04 If you say, "God, I can't handle this on my own.
00:55:06 This is above my pay grade, Jesus.
00:55:09 I don't even have it," but when you get up and come in faith,
00:55:11 when you get up and just come, come, come,
00:55:14 it's the word of resurrection.
00:55:16 "Come, Lazarus, come."
00:55:19 If he could tell a dead man to come.
00:55:23 God's trying to resurrect something in you.
00:55:26 It is time for new life.
00:55:28 It's time, it's time.
00:55:31 There's a summon in the Spirit.
00:55:34 When a magistrate has called you to decide a matter,
00:55:38 you get a summons to court.
00:55:41 It's not that the judge will come to you.
00:55:43 You come before the judge.
00:55:45 Come.
00:55:48 The Spirit bids, "Come."
00:55:51 He says, "Come up hither."
00:55:54 When Jesus came, he had to come from heaven to earth.
00:55:59 He came so that we could come.
00:56:06 He's calling us.
00:56:12 Everything that you feel that has had you stuck,
00:56:16 Lord, I come to thee.
00:56:22 We would sing the song, "I've Come to the Garden Alone,"
00:56:25 where the dew is still on the roses.
00:56:27 I, I come.
00:56:32 He's calling us.
00:56:36 Just come.
00:56:39 That we get up from our infirmity,
00:56:42 that we get up from our pain,
00:56:44 that we get up from our rejection,
00:56:47 that we get up from our hurt,
00:56:50 that we get up from our insecurities.
00:56:53 I said, "Lord, I just need you to do something as I'm coming.
00:56:56 I'm coming. I'm coming because I'm hungry.
00:56:59 I'm coming because I'm thirsty, Lord. I need you."
00:57:11 Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
00:57:18 Come.
00:57:22 He's waiting for desperate people
00:57:27 who realize that I'll die if I don't come.
00:57:41 (music)
00:58:10 Father, in the name of Jesus,
00:58:14 we stretch our hands to you.
00:58:18 No other help we know.
00:58:21 Lord, if you withdraw yourself from us, where then shall we go?
00:58:25 The consecrated cross we bear until death shall set us free.
00:58:30 There's a cross for everyone, God,
00:58:33 and I realize that's a cross for me.
00:58:36 Lord, you see those that have come to you
00:58:39 today in brokenness, in desperation,
00:58:43 in need, in pain.
00:58:49 God, and I pray that you will honor the faith of those
00:58:54 who have walked out of a place
00:58:58 of security and comfort,
00:59:01 made themselves uncomfortable,
00:59:04 to give up the comfortable life, God, for the eternal life.
00:59:08 And I pray, God, that you will confirm with signs and wonders
00:59:13 your word today in the lives of your precious people.
00:59:17 Let something that used to be on them now break off of them.
00:59:22 May something that was sick in them,
00:59:25 (speaking in tongues)
00:59:29 experience the touch from above that heals
00:59:33 and that sets free.
00:59:36 Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus,
00:59:39 for what you do in the lives of your people.
00:59:42 Father, even as they have walked today,
00:59:45 I pray that you will amplify their footsteps to their enemies,
00:59:50 that those who have continued to aggravate them and present issues
00:59:54 that have tormented them, God, may they hear something,
00:59:59 that they're not just dealing with a man or with a woman,
01:00:02 they're dealing with a child of God.
01:00:06 And thereby, you as our protector,
01:00:09 you as our shepherd, you as the lifter of our head,
01:00:14 you as our keeper, you as our sustainer,
01:00:18 oh, God, now, God, may they hear the sound that comes from you,
01:00:23 saying that it is better for you to put a millstone around your neck
01:00:27 and be tossed into the middle of the sea
01:00:30 than to offend one of these, my little one.
01:00:33 God, I pray that though they have come against us,
01:00:37 united, and all hell has broken loose,
01:00:40 may they scatter in seven different directions.
01:00:44 (applause)
01:00:47 Oh, God, I pray in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus,
01:00:51 in the name of Jesus, that as we walk it out, as we walk it out,
01:00:54 as we walk it out, that you work things out
01:00:57 only the Holy Ghost can work out, not by might nor by our power,
01:01:02 but by your Spirit in the name of Jesus today.
01:01:05 Lord, we declare thy kingdom come.
01:01:08 We declare thy will be done.
01:01:10 Oh, God, manifest yourself in the lives of your people
01:01:14 through signs and wonders that are irrefutable,
01:01:17 that surely this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our sight.
01:01:22 We declare, Lord Jesus, that we make ourselves available to you.
01:01:26 Lord, even those that are weary and worn,
01:01:29 those that are heavy-laden, burdened,
01:01:32 under guilt, under shame, under depression,
01:01:35 under being burned out,
01:01:38 Lord, you invited us to come
01:01:41 and that we could exchange our burden for yours.
01:01:45 Thank you, God, that supernaturally, by your own Spirit,
01:01:49 that you lighten our load as we take up your yoke.
01:01:53 But your yoke is easy, and your burden is light,
01:01:57 and we make a divine exchange in the realm of the Spirit
01:02:00 from all that we've been carrying,
01:02:02 feeling as though it's on our shoulders.
01:02:06 And we've worn ourselves carrying something that we were not built to carry,
01:02:10 and it has stressed us and kept sleep from us.
01:02:13 But, Lord, today in the name of Jesus...
01:02:15 [speaking in tongues]
01:02:21 Oh, God, shift it and lift it.
01:02:24 [speaking in tongues]
01:02:32 Lift it, shift it in the name of Jesus
01:02:36 for our good and for your glory.
01:02:40 In Jesus' name, amen.
01:02:44 Hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lamb.
01:02:46 Hallelujah to the Lamb of God. Hallelujah.
