[00:14:44] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_06]
[00:14:44] to victory is grateful looking at what you survived but being grateful you survived it

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_03]
[00:19:38] I think why we don't see victory is because we're always looking it almost took me out we're talking about the situation instead of seeing ourself over the situation like we're not going to victory we already are victory and I just heard God say that's the key so every single
[00:20:07] time you want to go back into man I don't know why this had to happen say I'm just grateful for you sometimes just in a small still quiet voice I'm just grateful God I'm grateful that when I gave
[00:20:25] up. You didn't. God, I'm grateful when I wanted to throw in the towel and you made me keep going.
[00:20:32] I'm grateful for these kids that made me keep going. I'm grateful for this situation that made me keep going. Sometimes we're like, man, I need a break. I need a break. I need a break. No.
[00:20:44] If God gave you a break, you wouldn't have persevered. Sometimes it's those kids. Sometimes it's those bills that make you keep going into victory. You hear me? It ain't going to take you out. It's going to keep you accountable. And when we start being grateful instead of angry,
[00:21:09] instead of praying the storm away, we're thankful that we made it and we're making it and we're not surviving. We're thriving. So I need somebody to lift up your hands in here and say, God,
[00:21:21] I'm grateful. I'm grateful for whatever it is. Can I get some mic? I'm grateful. Smooth. Can I get some mic? I need a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Say, I'm just grateful. God, I'm just
[00:21:35] grateful. God, I'm just grateful. God, I'm just grateful. Come on. Somebody say, God, I'm just grateful. God, I thank you that I woke up this morning. I'm thankful, God, that I am not what they said about me. I'm thankful, God. Come on. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. O-line, kick that
[00:21:52] coffee table back sometimes you just got to throw your hands up and surrender so if you walked in heavy today and if you leave heavy it's your own fault you hear me it's your own fault no you
[00:22:18] don't understand pk i'm in the fight no it's your own fault because life is gonna life but what we do with life you can't lay down in the storm you got to keep moving even if you don't know where
[00:22:31] you're going you just keep moving blindly i don't see a light at the end of the tunnel i know that's why you gotta trust god ain't it crazy when we would be in the world we would drive drunk
[00:22:44] or you get drunk and i don't know how you got home but in the kingdom of god you got the holy spirit as a gps and you scared or now than you were then because now we're aware and religion
[00:23:02] makes us feel like we got to be in a box and i realize that we can praise our way out of anything Say anything, anything, anything that I'm facing or anything connected to me, anyone connected to me, we're going to win in Jesus' name.
[00:23:20] Good job, man.
[00:23:21] Y'all praise your butts off.
[00:23:26] Does anybody else sing that song like, oh, I like, I like will scare you to death because I sing from my toes on that song.
[00:23:33] Anybody else?
[00:23:35] Man, even if you can't sing, you got to make a joyful noise on that one.
[00:23:38] look at your neighbor and say block no more say blocked no more block no more so what is today y'all what is it what is it you said memorial day this one the princess over here tell me your extra
[00:24:03] without telling me your extra you better celebrate queen that's how we need to show up everywhere in a banner and a crown. Okay, listen, it's Pentecost Sunday. And say, PK, you got a word. I feel
[00:24:20] it. God done dropped a whole word. It's going to set your bootay on fire. So listen, I'm going to title this Block No More because y'all know we're in a series called Blocked, right? And next month we're going into a series called Pivot, right? Pivot, which is my favorite
[00:24:37] word this year. And I'm going to run it all the way in the ground because pivot is that thing you do when you don't want to do it, right? When you don't know how to do it. So today is
[00:24:46] blocked no more, but my subtitle, which really got me going was when heaven breaks through what hell tried to block. You want me to do it again? Should I say it again? When heaven breaks
[00:25:05] through what hell tried to block. So hell can't stop what heaven started. That's better. Hell can't stop what heaven started. Well, what does that even mean? You, you were born into this world.
[00:25:34] Then you face stuff, whether as a kid, how many of y'all face some stuff? How many of y'all shook it that you still made it some of y'all got some secrets you ain't never told nobody stuff that
[00:25:46] happened to you that you're just going through all life thinking you deserved it and no more deserved it than the man in the moon but because they made you feel guilty so now you're walking
[00:25:55] through life allowing the hell to drive you instead of heaven because secrets kill heaven heals you ever seen those people you don't need to be saying all that you don't need to talk about all that. You can't tell me how to tell my testimony. Don't you hate it when somebody
[00:26:17] tries to tell you how to act after they did it? But here's the beautiful part. When heaven meets your hell, heaven comes out of you. So you're not ugly. You're not spiteful. You're not mean.
[00:26:33] You ever met those people that they walk in a room and it changes the whole atmosphere. Anybody know her him you see him coming and you're like oh god and they stand 10 toes dirty 10 toes down
[00:26:48] and dirty nasty mean and don't care you ever looked at somebody and be like man I wish I had just a little bit of that boldness they'll just rip you up one side down the other that's letting
[00:27:05] their hell mess up their heaven because you have two choices say I have two choices when I feel blocked when I feel like something's come against me which everybody in this room has dealt with
[00:27:19] betrayal rejection hate racism anger feeling invisible feeling forgotten feeling erased everybody in this room but there's two types of people there's some that it fuels and you take it to another level with anointing the oil crushed you and you had an extreme experience with God
[00:27:45] probably at three o'clock in the morning when just you and God were there and you were losing everything and people were talking about you and you were losing out and you were the right one and
[00:27:55] you don't understand how God's letting it happen to you but then all of a sudden you realize oh there's something behind this and it's called God and he's going to use this anger and this
[00:28:05] Bitterness isn't going to turn it to victory because today I'm not staying here.
[00:28:08] Then there's a second person that's hateful.
[00:28:13] Nobody gets along with them.
[00:28:15] And they're writing out their pain like it's a reward.
[00:28:19] So they let what happened to them get in them.
[00:28:22] So there's two types of people.
[00:28:23] Y'all got that?
[00:28:24] But today is Pentecost Sunday.
[00:28:28] And I'm going to tell you how to shift because you may be in here today like the second one.
[00:28:34] Bitter, broken, angry.
[00:28:37] It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. But because of Pentecost Sunday, you want me to tell you what it is? Tell me, I'll break it down for you. I went to church my whole life. My daddy was a preacher.
[00:28:47] I teed on the pew. But at 36 years old, when I hit rock bottom, got myself in a whole bunch of bad choices, I had to find God for myself. So I went every single time there's something happening
[00:29:02] in the body of Christ, we shout like this. People fall out. We wear white and pink and, but we don't really know what we're doing we don't know what what was the point of this
[00:29:11] because there's something that happened today that was done so that you could be a victorious person all right so i'm gonna break it down say break it down pk so we're gonna go to acts 2 say acts 2
[00:29:23] 1 through 4 it says on the day of pentecost say on the day of pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place.
[00:29:34] See, on the day of Pentecost, all the believers were meeting together in one place. Now look around you. Y'all are here.
[00:29:44] You know what could happen to this roof? Because one could put a thousand to flight. Two could put ten thousand to flight.
[00:29:49] That's why the enemy wants you to stay home and say, we are the church. You're right.
[00:29:53] You are the church.
[00:29:54] But you need to get around some people that are going somewhere. Some people that when they walk, So we see you walk in like this.
[00:30:00] They say, oh, girl, let's praise God together.
[00:30:04] Come sit by me.
[00:30:05] I don't want to sit by you today.
[00:30:06] You're too loud for me.
[00:30:07] No, you need to sit by me because what's on me needs to rub off on you.
[00:30:10] You need some people that get on your nerves, right?
[00:30:13] People that have been through hell and know how to pull you out.
[00:30:16] So it says, on the day of Pentecost, all the believers were meeting together in one place.
[00:30:21] Suddenly, that's my favorite word, suddenly.
[00:30:27] Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven.
[00:30:32] Like the roaring of a mighty windstorm.
[00:30:36] Then what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them.
[00:30:46] This is why you got to get in a church that's got the Holy Ghost.
[00:30:49] You hear me?
[00:30:49] You can't go in a stale church that just says stuff you want to hear.
[00:30:52] You got to get in a church where people provoke you and push you, right?
[00:30:55] Because the fire of God is on here.
[00:30:57] So you can be in here and still leave the same or you can be in here and partake.
[00:31:01] You hear that?
[00:31:02] Say, it's up to me.
[00:31:04] It's up to me.
[00:31:05] You can be in a family where y'all broker than a joke.
[00:31:08] Your whole life, everybody broken.
[00:31:10] And then one day, you all of a sudden, your work pays off and you become a millionaire, billionaire, and trillionaire.
[00:31:16] You had a choice to believe that you were broke like them or you had a choice to break the generational curse off you.
[00:31:22] Everything in life is a choice.
[00:31:26] Even the fire.
[00:31:27] it says then what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them and every one present was filled with the Holy Ghost now let me break down what Pentecost is
[00:31:41] Pentecost is so precious today because it marks the moment the Holy Spirit was poured out on ordinary people in an extraordinary way the black sheets the misfits the embarrassments the ones walking around in shame, the ones wondering why am I even in this room,
[00:32:11] the ones with imposter syndromes. Ordinary people in an extraordinary way, the Holy Spirit poured out. It's often called the birthday of the church because after this moment, the disciples stopped hiding in fear and started walking in boldness, power, healing, and purpose. I just read this
[00:32:36] scripture, Acts chapter two. So at this point, Jesus has already died, risen and ascended from heaven. But before he left, he told his followers to wait, wait, wait, wait for what? I feel like my whole life I've been waiting, especially when you've been praying and believing and on social
[00:33:04] media looks like everybody's taking off a lot quicker than you wait they were grieving they were confused they were uncertain man it feels like some of us they were probably wondering what's next I'm waiting on a GPS I'm waiting on a prophetic word I'm waiting on something but this
[00:33:30] this can't be happening why are we having to wait but the scripture says then suddenly this is where the scripture comes in don't get weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap if you faint not it doesn't say though that you can just lay in your bed and cry and have
[00:33:50] depression no it says don't get weary I don't don't don't get weary when that child that grown kid ain't speaking to you don't get weary when you get handed divorce papers don't don't don't get weary when you get another cancer diagnosis you got to do something so you don't get weary
[00:34:05] it says then suddenly there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm so what makes pinnacle so powerful is that heaven interrupted earth because believers where they're expecting something. I'm coming to church every Sunday to expect something. So
[00:34:35] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I'm not over here acting like the world, but I'm getting so transformed. See, you don't try not to sin. You get right by dealing with everything that's inside of you that you can't fix. The anger, the generational curse,
[00:35:00] your daddy passed down, your mama passed down, that addiction you've been fighting, you decide, I don't feel like I have the willpower to do this, but I refuse to lay there another day in my life,
[00:35:13] letting emotions overtake me when I have Jesus. So Pentecost Sunday tells us that heaven interrupted earth and fear turned into fire fear false evidence appearing real fear is not of what it ain't a god but it's so prevalent in our world oh we got another pandemic coming oh we oh gas
[00:35:43] prices are going up oh we the everywhere you turn there is hell on wheels trying to keep you stuck But if you read your Bible, everything that we're going through right now is in the Bible.
[00:35:58] But you know what the last scripture says in Revelations?
[00:36:03] Huh?
[00:36:06] We win.
[00:36:15] That means it might be happening, but I'm going to win.
[00:36:19] But I ain't going to win if I lay in my bed in depression.
[00:36:23] I ain't going to win if I'm focused on what they did to me instead of what they shifted me to.
[00:36:30] so fear turned into fire. Weak people became world changers. They started getting some confidence.
[00:36:38] They started coming into church and praising like this every Sunday. I love watching Sankata worship. She lifts her hands up like this and lays all the way back. I'm like, I know why she's praying like that, because maybe go walk through some hell. She learned how to praise God on credit.
[00:36:52] That's what you have to do.
[00:36:56] Say life is going to life.
[00:37:00] People are going to disappoint me, hurt me, leave me for dead, and hope I die.
[00:37:09] But I am a Holy Ghost seed that will bloom through concrete.
[00:37:25] You know how you're not going to bloom through concrete?
[00:37:29] Give up.
[00:37:29] weak people became world changers so God moved from being around them to living in them do you hear me I need that to sink down in you when you came to know Jesus well what does that
[00:37:52] mean Kim I surrender God I repent of my sins see you don't try not to sin you fall in love with Jesus. You start being so grateful. What should have killed you really lifted you. And when you
[00:38:07] start getting grateful, you fall in love with Jesus. And then the sin no longer is even a part of your life. You see that? So you're not trying. You're doing. Why? Because he's in me. So when I
[00:38:29] feel like i want to give up what am i gonna do what i'm gonna shift inward not outward i'm not gonna look at social media i'm not gonna look for me a motivational speaker i'm not gonna look for
[00:38:44] a word to chant i'm not gonna get me some sage and walk around the house i'm not gonna get some stones and pray over them i'm gonna begin to pull something down deep on the inside of me
[00:38:53] do i feel like it no do i know that's a prescription to healing yes so before pentecost peter denied jesus three times and did you hear that not once not twice three times 50 days later was pentecost 50 days ago was easter we were packed because everybody
[00:39:20] goes to church on easter but the fire doesn't get in us and we think we gotta be all good to come to church. No, you got to come to church. So you get the fire. So then the fire makes you
[00:39:35] make right decisions. Cause when you fall in love with Jesus, you just make right decisions.
[00:39:39] You can't be down every day. You ever seen those Christians that shout on Sunday and they depressed every day. They walk into your job and they, everybody knows they're a Christian. They pray on the prayer team at church, but yet they're miserable. You ever seen those people? Can I
[00:39:54] tell y'all a secret? You want to hear it? They don't pray. They got, nope, they don't. They don't baby girl they don't pray because when you pray you die to your so self is connected to what
[00:40:16] flesh what's connected to flesh rotten emotions offense anger bitterness unforget you're letting a person that did not care about hurting you rule your whole life they ain't even in your life no more, but they still control your life. So after Pentecost, Peter preached one sermon.
[00:40:52] Now he denied Jesus three times, 50 days earlier. Now Judas also betrayed Jesus, right? Judas got Jesus on the cross. Judas was necessary because Jesus would have never went to the cross if Judas wouldn't have had a bad heart so Judas had a bad heart Peter had a bad day so some people write
[00:41:18] you off because of your bad day but God is showing us on today that it don't matter who you are where you've been what your qualification is what they said about you what they did to you how they left
[00:41:29] you for dead that if you will come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden I will lift and then I will take you into all the world and once he takes you into all the world
[00:41:40] everything's fixed because you start praising him instead of talking negative and doors begin to open because the world is looking for you they ain't nobody care about me honey you think the devil would be fighting you so hard if there wasn't nothing in you what do i always tell y'all
[00:42:04] thieves don't rob empty vaults well it ain't happening to my sister my sister got a hunky old door in life she got a husband takes care of her buys her all these purses i'm over here with
[00:42:19] My four kids died every day, ignored.
[00:42:22] Nobody's coming because it's in you.
[00:42:24] Because you got something in you.
[00:42:26] You ain't your sister.
[00:42:27] Your sister ain't no threat.
[00:42:28] You are a threat.
[00:42:31] So you're over here comparing yourself to your sister that's got a clean, healthy, living Cinderella life.
[00:42:36] And you feel like Cinderella's stepsister.
[00:42:40] Your daddy told you to go do something else because you didn't keep any of the business.
[00:42:44] But you didn't understand.
[00:42:45] He didn't understand something.
[00:42:46] You were breaking some generational curses for him.
[00:42:48] so the oil on your life sets you apart so Peter preached one sermon and 3,000 people got saved that's the difference the Holy Spirit makes so Pentecost Sunday reminds us say today reminds me that we are not doing life alone that even when you feel like you're doing life alone
[00:43:14] even when you feel like you're a single parent just wish to God somebody would come in and take care of these crazy kids so you can have a bath. You are not alone. God still fills empty people
[00:43:27] and dry places can and will live again. And what was blocked can break open, even if it needs, what's that stuff called? Chris coat. No. What do you put on when some even if you need some wd-40 some of y'all just need some wd-40 some of y'all been stuck for so
[00:43:57] long your body feels like it's a million pounds sometimes your burdens are so heavy you don't even know how to find your voice again sometimes people have left you for dead and you believe them you keep taking flowers to a grave you ain't even in because you allow them to dictate who you
[00:44:10] are. Say somebody is waiting on my yes. So it's precious because Pentecost proves God doesn't just save people. He empowers them. And honestly, a lot of people love Easter because Jesus got up from the grave. But Pentecost, say Pentecost, is where the disciples got up off the floor.
[00:44:43] Pentecost is when you realize he got up. It only took him three days. It took me 50, but they got 50. I ain't dead, which means he ain't done. So on Pentecost, I'm tapping into my power.
[00:45:00] ah so it's the day today is the day that heaven put power over pain where fire became bigger than fear there's no fear included where purpose is for ordinary people and he wants to do extreme
[00:45:18] things so really another beautiful scripture is acts 1 8 say acts 1 8 it says but you will receive power when the holy spirit comes huh oh that's why i got no power because you ain't praying
[00:45:38] the enemy don't want you to pray the enemy don't want you to open your mouth the enemy the enemy don't want you to it says but you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you
[00:45:50] and you will be my witnesses because some people in this room all you can do is say but god but God I don't know how I got here but God look at you still standing but God I wish that a lot
[00:46:08] of my years crying but God God's gonna vindicate God's gonna give it back to me right does that mean things change overnight no but you change so that word power is where we get the word dynamite
[00:46:25] which means the Holy Spirit gives you the power to break cycles. It gives you the power to survive storms. It gives you the power to speak truth. It gives you the power to heal from trauma.
[00:46:46] It gives you the power to walk through hell without smelling like smoke. It gives you the power. So Pentecost is precious because it reminds us that God still breathes on people who thought they missed their moment. Anybody feel like you lost your moment? Anybody feel
[00:47:07] like you wasted a whole bunch of your life? Guess what? Everybody got a story, but yours is about to be a bestseller. You're about to come up out of the ashes, not looking like what you've been through.
[00:47:19] You know what I learned for the longest time ever? I got followers from being broken.
[00:47:27] Listen to me.
[00:47:29] It dawned on me one day.
[00:47:32] You got a whole bunch of followers looking like a fairy godmother.
[00:47:37] Bye, Felicia.
[00:47:40] Broken, angry at my past because I was dropped.
[00:47:48] That I was told my whole life, you're just too much.
[00:47:52] Nobody will ever love you.
[00:47:54] And I believed it.
[00:47:56] But one day laying in my bed at about three o'clock in the morning, I'm crying and the joints of my fingers are aching.
[00:48:02] I was so heartbroken.
[00:48:03] And I just decided to tell God, well, God, if you're really what my daddy taught me about, I need you to come in.
[00:48:09] I was 37.
[00:48:11] 36 is when I went to bed.
[00:48:14] 37 is when I laid there and thought, man, ain't nothing changed but about 50 pounds.
[00:48:19] My skin is ugly.
[00:48:21] My boobs, my back boobs, I got fat everywhere.
[00:48:25] I don't even like looking at myself in the mirror.
[00:48:27] I don't even know what my favorite color is.
[00:48:29] And I don't even know what my favorite food is.
[00:48:31] I've lost myself trying to get everybody to love me and I keep missing the mark then one day when I'm laying in that bed I realize because of Pentecost Sunday there's a fire in me and the
[00:48:43] reason the enemy has had me for so long was he knew I was gonna get it together that's why they don't celebrate you that's why they talk about you that's why when you go to the family reunions
[00:48:57] they make you feel like you should sit at the kid table that is why because there's an oil on your life there's an anointing on your life and God is saying if you will just get up I love therapy
[00:49:15] I love therapy but sometimes you don't need therapy you need deliverance we choose dignity over deliverance because we care what people think about us you care about people that are so miserable all they can do is talk about you and they're on an assignment to keep you stuck
[00:49:38] because you never found your power but the minute you take away your power take it back take it back your power take back your power walk in there with your shoulders back walk in there speaking
[00:49:49] the word of God you gotta take it back you gotta take it back from them you gotta take back your anointing you got to take back your dignity you got to take back your power stop trauma bonding
[00:50:06] with trauma embrace your way out so some of y'all have a feeling you've been feeling blocked emotionally blocked spiritually blocked financially blocked mentally blocked creatively like something has been resisting your next level and it has you you you when you point at them
[00:50:38] there's three more pointing back at you because nobody can stop the oil on your life they talked about you because there's an oil in you and your spirit agitated their demons so you've been feeling resistance well god's just working on me how long i'm waiting on god no he waiting on you
[00:51:08] he don't wait till you get it together he don't wait till you stop swinging on the pole he don't wait it's in the midnight hour when you finally realize this is the last time i drink
[00:51:20] because of what they did to me this is the last time i stay small because of what they did to me This is the last time I regurgitate.
[00:51:28] This is the last time I give a funeral announcement.
[00:51:32] This is the last time I take flowers to a grave with nobody in it.
[00:51:39] Okay, listen.
[00:51:41] Pentecost proves something very, very...
[00:51:52] I know what it's like to feel like the misfit, the embarrassment.
[00:52:00] I know what it's like when your past keeps finding you.
[00:52:07] but I also know what it's like when you release yourself release yourself what does that look like I don't live there no more every time you talk about my past I don't live there no more
[00:52:26] I don't even own the furniture I sold everything and I started out brand new I don't own anything I don't have the last name I don't have the smell all this proof is a DUI picture
[00:52:41] All that's proved is the record, but I am not who I was.
[00:52:46] But out of the ashes came something so powerful, and there's a fire in me.
[00:52:52] See, that fire in you burns up everything that is ratchet.
[00:53:06] That's why they don't like you.
[00:53:11] Your spirit, even when you're acting like them, there's still something in you.
[00:53:21] Well, who do you think you are?
[00:53:22] Last week you were doing it with me Oh I know but on Sunday Something happened I decided I wasn't there no more I decided I don't like living here no more I decided I don't want to lay in insomnia
[00:53:36] Another day of my life I decided that greater is he That is in me Than he that is in the world So I got up I turned in the keys Some of y'all got clothes in your closet
[00:53:53] That don't even fit but they're there just in case you are a just in case christian i'm gonna be free but just in case i'm gonna start a ministry that's you know bold but just in case i'm gonna put trauma on the end
[00:54:21] of it so everybody can feel welcome but really what we're doing is just in case the holy people don't like me I'll still get the broken people but at some point when broken people I remember
[00:54:33] when every one of my conferences they were broken everybody be laying at the altar I remember one conference I said I'm done I stopped the whole conference for six years because something in me lets them stay broke something in me made them feel okay broke when I came back seven years later
[00:55:00] every single conference is prophetic people are laying out in the altar we got another one coming up july 19th and 11th right there in perimeter and y'all got to get your butt in the room
[00:55:10] pushed you know what this conference is called territory takeover that means i'm coming back for everything the devil has stolen listen the enemy can block people but he cannot block the holy spirit so if hell tried to silence the disciples after the crucifixion even tried to
[00:55:35] trapped them in fear, tried to convince them their best days died with Jesus. But what they thought was a setup was actually the setup for an upper room breakthrough. Say sometimes things got to end
[00:55:49] so better things can begin. That rejection was the greatest gift to your life. Why are you still making excuses for staying in Egypt? God got you out of Egypt, but Egypt is still in you.
[00:56:11] until you break it. Write this down. We got to go quick. See the power of God will often allow pressure in a room in your life before he sends power into it. Write this down. The blockage
[00:56:28] is actually a birthing room. 2 says they were all gathered together in one place. So what looked like hiding was actually preparation so the upper room was uncomfortable the upper room was crowded the upper room was uncertain the upper room was tensed but heaven was about to invade that room
[00:56:55] and some of y'all have been rebuking a season that God is using to prepare you trying to break it rebuke it leave it but if he didn't allow you to break it you would go the rest
[00:57:22] your life bleeding on people that didn't cut you. But now you're going to speak. When you walk into a room, it's going to carry authority. And baby, I'm going to tell you something. Your family may
[00:57:32] never see it, but God will send complete strangers to support everything you do. There are 8 billion people in this world that need you. You are not little Erica, little Jesse, little Jason. Oh, you just know that's just how she is. No, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet. So you thought you
[00:57:54] were buried you thought you were forgotten you thought you were delayed you thought you were overlooked but you were actually in position for oil so the holy spirit doesn't arrive where ego is loud he arrives where surrender is deep what does that mean every day you might have to go
[00:58:13] back and break again you may got to repent 14 times every day before i go to sleep every night god forgive me if i've done anything that has broken your heart today break my spirit for what
[00:58:24] break shores because coming out of that righteousness takes time right this down what God is about to release cannot be blocked by people I need you to hear that what God is releasing over your life cannot be blocked by people so stop worrying about it because God knows how to interrupt
[00:58:45] he knows how to interrupt depression he knows how to interrupt warfare he knows how to interrupt confusion he knows he interrupts sabotage he interrupts generational cycles and the disciples did not create the wind. They did not manufacture the fire. They did not force the breakthrough.
[00:59:05] God sent it. So it's usually that thing you dread. That is exactly where you need to be facing it. When God say, when God sends it, say when God sends it, no witch can stop it.
[00:59:26] No betrayal can cancel it. I need y'all to, I need you to let this digest. No abuse can delay it.
[00:59:34] no closed door can block it because what God ordained for me, say it, say what God ordained for me, what God ordained for my life does not need human permission. It don't need my kids
[00:59:53] permission. It don't need my aunt's permission. It don't need my sister's permission. It don't need my boss's permission. It didn't need my old pastor's position. It doesn't need nobody's permission because God has called me. And as long as I got a pulse, God's got a plan. People might
[01:00:12] can block invitations. You may not even get invited to the party. They might even can block opportunities by talking about you. They might even block your access, but they cannot block heaven that knows your name. Write this down. The fire didn't just fall on a preacher. Acts says
[01:00:38] flames settled on each of them. Not just Peter, not just allowed ones, not just a qualified ones, every say everybody in the room. Now this is important because religion will make you think that only certain people are anointed. Only polished are used by God. Religion will have
[01:01:07] you believe in the only perfect people carry fire. Only preachers with a pastor or a doctor.
[01:01:14] There's a girl right now getting raped just all over social media.
[01:01:18] They're dragging her because she's got a doctor in front of her name.
[01:01:23] Social media is going to do that.
[01:01:27] But if you don't learn how to take all bad press, because I believe when bad press comes from the enemy or anybody that chooses to come against you, it means there's something on you that is sloppy anointed.
[01:01:43] Listen to me. It's happened to me.
[01:01:47] It's not your time to go and fix it.
[01:01:51] it's your time to let the fire come up and you praise your way out of it because it's just say it's gonna happen to me say it's gonna happen to me it is people will love you one minute and hate
[01:02:06] you the next people will talk about you with the shoes on their feet you bought them it's always the ones closest to you why because those are the ones that matter and if you don't learn how to
[01:02:24] praise yourself out. If you don't learn how to take something and allow God to get that exhortation out of it, you don't keep having those tests to pass over and over and over again. Now, this is
[01:02:43] how I'm ending. Y'all ready for this? That means the addict carries fire. That means the divorce carries fire. That means the rejected carries fire. That means the insecure carries fire.
[01:03:05] That means the underestimated carries fire. So what the enemy tried to block your confidence from becomes the calling. So I need you to think right now as we're closing, what's that one thing on the inside of you that keeps pushing you? It keeps coming back.
[01:03:29] it's a cycle what is it that's the area that God wants to use you in the most what does that even mean Kim there's eight billion people in this world and there's more people that
[01:03:44] understand your brokenness into healing than you walk around acting like you ain't never done nothing wrong if you ain't never had nobody drag you and talk about you are you really doing something well I don't want to do nothing because I don't want nobody to ever drag me but they going
[01:04:04] to hurt people hurt people but heal people what heal people what does that mean go into all the world get up every day even when you don't want to and speak life say the fire is allowed in my life
[01:04:31] and I need you to stand up on your feet how many y'all feel like you got a little bit of break how many today it made some sense how many of you today it was like oh I get it now
[01:04:44] I'm a threat how many feel like you've been giving up a lot quicker lately how many say I'm not giving up now because I realize I got the fire who's supposed to stir it who who me you and if you're
[01:05:03] in this room today and you say PK I feel like I gave up I feel like I threw in the towel I feel like I let a season really drain me and I don't feel like getting up I don't feel like getting
[01:05:18] happy. I don't feel like getting joyful because it's way easier for me to talk about the breakdown.
[01:05:26] But this week I'm going to shift. If that's you in this room, lift up your hand and say, I'm about to shift. Look at your neighbor. Say, hold me accountable. Now y'all can't get mad when
[01:05:40] they say, what are you doing? Y'all can't get mad when they call you down. I was doing something the other day and my husband said, you better stop. I said, why? He said, because if it turns
[01:05:51] out the way you make you're mad about right now you're gonna be mad i said why because you don't want that responsibility so throw your flesh out the window what if i didn't love that i know that
[01:06:02] man got my back he likes the smoke he will fight for me so when he comes at me and tells me something like that i realize i gotta have a check up from the from my heart to my head so this week
[01:06:21] i need you everybody lift up your hands like this lift it up say lord give me dunamis power this week. Let me catch my thoughts. Say, let me catch my thoughts. Let me catch my thoughts. Don't let
[01:06:35] me lay in the bed depressed. Don't let me get overwhelmed. Lord, let me hear differently. Come on, lay hands on your head if you want to say, say, Lord, fix this brain. Lord, let me hear what
[01:06:46] only you want me to hear. Lord, let me have God thoughts. Say, I know I'm the generational curse breaker so I'm going to see clearly now the rain is gone say Lord I say yes say Lord I say yes
[01:07:02] come on high five yourself say we're going somewhere self now say Lord I repent of my sins I turn from my negative ways I turn from my sinful ways and I say live in my heart
