[Applause]
I see all the men standing really tall
trying to show the women next to them
can we also just take a moment to honor
pastors Rich DC and the amazing team of food
food [Applause]
[Applause]
I'm so excited to be here
uh you know let's let's pray and then
you may be seated
Heavenly Father we worship you
We Adore You Lord
Lord as we come before you gathered all together
together
calling on your name we know that you
are here
we know that you are with us
that you hear us
and you're going to move in such a
special way
into Holy Spirit
glorify Jesus in this place
and have your way like only you can
I am only Your Vessel
use me as your instrument
in Jesus name
you may be seated
you know such a blessing to be here I
was listening to his testimony and I
just love that so much I got married
and now I'm expecting a baby on our anniversary
anniversary [Laughter]
[Laughter] [Applause]
[Applause]
but I want to share with you as we go
into today's word a personal testimony I experienced
experienced
you know when I found out I was pregnant
about a couple days after
we discovered that there could be some
complications in the pregnancy
and the first doctor we go we meet
and you know we we do some checkups and
all of that
and the doctor recommends literally termination
termination
but here's the interesting thing
because as I you know as we Minister one
of the things in my walk with God has
always been connected to the
supernatural so you're gonna get a
little bit of it when I preach
but the interesting thing is
two days prior to finding out I was
pregnant I had an encounter with an Angel
Angel and
and
in his presence that's when I realized
I'm pregnant
and I was in my closet
I don't know why he chose my closet but
that's where he chose to show up
I said well God why you're at it could
you re-vamp my closet right
so I run downstairs and I tell my
husband and I'm like I think I'm pregnant
pregnant
and I tell him what just happened so we
get a pregnancy test test two days later
and it's positive
but then afterwards a challenge shows up
and I said God will not go through all
this trouble
to get me a word
if this is the narrative I have to
listen to I said nah
we're gonna keep this baby and get a
different doctor [Laughter]
[Laughter] [Applause]
[Applause]
moment where I was going through
excruciating amount of pain excruciating
excruciating
you know my new doctor says look you're
going to be fine
this just needs to pass
it's going to probably take I think it
was about five weeks she said it would take
take
and when it started
I was on vacation
and I was supposed to preach in L.A that Sunday
Sunday
so we're supposed to come back from Maui
to LA to preach and I am in
excruciating pain
I couldn't sleep couldn't do anything
I'm literally crying all the time
and I was like Lord literally I wanted
to call it off
I wanted to call my pastor and say I
don't think I got it in me
but I said let me first ask the Lord
and so I was praying and I said God
I don't think I have this in me but I
need your permission
to step back
and then the Lord encounters me in a dream
dream
and there are many things he shows me
but one of the key things he said I am
with you
I am the god that walks with you in the
mountain and I'm the god that walks with
you in the valley
even when you're going through what
seems like a hard time I am with you
and he tells me you're going to preach
on Sunday
and so literally my husband is trying
his best to just see how I we can
relieve this pain
but in pain I was studying in pain I was praying
praying
but then here's the interesting thing
that happened
Sunday morning shows up
and I'm like God you're gonna show up
I wake up that morning
I realize the pain subsided this is only
a few days
the doctor told me a couple weeks
I get up I get ready because now that
Saturday night all of a sudden I could sleep
sleep
and Sunday morning I'm good to go
the moment I get into the house of the
and here is what I realized in God
that the healing I was looking for
you see you have to realize that
obedience is a pathway for Supernatural realities
realities
that your obedience to God is literally
a pathway for Supernatural possibilities
it wasn't that God healed me as a favor
but the healing was trapped in my obedience
obedience
you see what I love about today and just
conference in general
is that when you come to Wu Khan you're
coming here is the evidence of your hunger
hunger
I was having a conversation with Dawn
Pastor Don prior to today and when we
were it was a conversation on Instagram
and we were talking about she asked me
what are you looking forward to what are
you excited about when it comes to
conference and I said hunger
because when people are hungry
their eyes open their ears open you see
sometimes you're wondering God I need a
word from you God I need to hear from
you and God is like if you will be
hungry I will feed you
and in our lives we get so distracted
by the things that we're pursuing
but Jesus said something that I loved in
the wilderness
you see when he was in a state of
natural hunger
the enemy thought he could deceive him
and so he tempted him and said you know
what if you are the son of God
turn these stones into bread
and Jesus looks at him
and he's thinking like you think my
natural hunger
supersedes my spiritual hunger So he
responds to him and says man shall not
live by bread alone but by every word
that comes out of the mouth of God [Applause]
[Applause]
because when you realize that God your
word is life to me
without your word I can't go forward
when you are hungry for the word of God
he feeds you
and last night I couldn't sleep I got in
literally really late
but I was I was just so captivated by
the presence of God and what he's going
to do in this place and I kept seeing
God feeling you up and I kept seeing God
giving you fresh words over your life
because the word of God reveals you
and so I got excited I sat with the Lord
and I'm like God what do you have for
your people
and so I want to tell you something
not just for today but the entire
conference be expected
don't allow the distractions of your
life cause you to lose focus of these moments
moments
that when you're coming into the
presence of God be expected for what God
wants to say to you
because literally one word from God can
radically transform your life
and that's what I'm going to be teaching about
about
you see as you're taking notes my
message is living in the Supernatural [Music]
[Music]
and we get to do this through obedience
I'm so excited oh okay
we're going to go into the word of God
and we're going to start with First
Kings 17 verse 8 to 16.
and just to give you a back story before
we we dive in here
this is a story of the Prophet Elijah
and the Prophet Elijah in this time had
declared the drought
that the entire land is going to suffer
a drought which they did for three and a
half years
now when he declared this drought it was
during a time where the people were
there were some of the people who were
worshiping a god named Bale
and Baal was known as the god of the sky
right he was believed to be the one to
bring rain
there were some worship in him there
were some worship in the Lord and some
were just in between
very similar to how we are in culture today
today
you have some people worshiping Jesus
you have some people doing other stuff
and some people are both and
Jesus and
some other things that are out there
Jesus and New Age practices
Jesus and whatever feels like it's gonna
meet our needs
because we are allowing need and the
appetites of the flesh to drive us
rather than the discernment of the Holy Spirit
Spirit
that rather than being led by the
appetite of My Flesh let me be led by
the appetite of the spirit
and this was what was happening back here
here
it's not that they did not know the Lord
but because they were driven more by
need in the flesh
they lost discernment
and so Elijah literally is about to
confront their belief system
and he says you know what the skies are
going to be shut up
because if your God is any powerful this
wouldn't happen
and he is declaring that Yahweh is God alone
alone
so there is a drought
and during this trial the Lord
supernaturally provides for Elijah
the Lord supernaturally provides water
and food for him
he tells him you I'm not going to go
into that part of the story but you got
to read the entire First Kings 17.
he sends Ravens to feed him
now Ravens are very intelligent you know animals
animals
and they're excellent Hunters but they
don't bring food for people
they devour what they catch
but you see what I love about this story
is that even the animals know their creator
creator
that even the animals know how to obey a
word from the Lord what more of us
and another thing I love about this
story with Elijah is that the Lord tells
him about a location
where he must be and the Ravens will
feed him there
the Ravens could feed him anywhere
but the Lord tells him this is where you
would go and the Ravens will feed you there
there
is a there connected to your life in the
different seasons of your life
but it is the word of God that gives you
access to know you're there
Vu could be planted anywhere but there
was a there the Lord knew that would
have a harvest
and you see sometimes and this is where
the enemy gets us we are pursuing things
when things are assigned to you there
and so we get so caught up
by the appetite of our flesh more money
relationship all these things and the
Lord says if you locate you're there
the things you're looking for will find you
you
you see we just heard a beautiful testimony
testimony
he didn't come even looking for a wife
but there was something the Lord was
drawing him to that the Lord even
orchestrated where he was sick
and as he was there
what he didn't realize what his wife was
also there
this is why you have to hunger for the
word because if the Lord can make you
sensitive to know you're there
everything you're looking for you would
so this happens with Elijah
and then all of a sudden
the brook dries up
the brook that was supplying him water
and now we get into the scripture
the word of God says
then the word of the Lord came to him
saying arise go to zeropath which
belongs to siddhan and dwell there
look at another there
there
oh I love this
see I have commanded a widow there
to provide for you
so he arose and went to zeropath
and when he came to the gate of the city
indeed a widow was there Gathering
sticks somebody say there
just say God show me my there
oh amen
and he called to her and said please
bring me a little water in a cup that I
may drink
and as she was going to get it he called
to her and said please bring me a morsel
of bread in your hand so she said as the
Lord your God Lives I do not have bread
only a handful of flaw in a bin and a
little oil in a jar and see I am
Gathering a couple sticks that I may go
in and prepare it for myself and my son
that we may eat and die
and Elijah said to her do not fear go
and do as you have said
but make me a small cake from it first
and bring it to me and afterward make
some for yourself and your son for thus
says the Lord God of Israel the been a
floor shall not be used up he starts
going into this beautiful speech
basically how she's not gonna have lack
supernaturally that she would experience
No Lack until it starts to rain again
and she did according to the word of
Elijah and it happened exactly that way
now first of all I want to break down
this scripture a little bit
the scriptures Yourself by saying then
the word of the Lord came to him
you see Elijah is clearly a prophet and
I need to just clarify a few things here
because the office of a prophet
is bigger than just prophecy
in the Old Testament
before we they could experience the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit the spirit
will just come upon certain people
according to their calling
so in the Old Testament when we read
about prophets there is a primary
function for them to declare the word of
the Lord
so it would seem as though the word of
God will come to them more often than
the regular individual
but then after the sacrifice of Jesus
the Holy Spirit was poured out
that anyone who would receive the Lord
would receive the Holy Spirit he is
known as the spirit of Prophecy and I'm
saying this because many can use this
scripture to manipulate you
that in order for God to speak to you
you need to go through them
that you need a prophet in your life to
hear the word of the Lord when literally
you have the spirit of Prophecy in you [Applause]
[Applause]
and this is why as Believers we cannot
get so emotionally overwhelmed in our
walk with God
because if emotions lead you the voice
of God is silent
and here is the danger your emotions are
the closest thing to mimic the voice of God
God
because your emotions have conviction
when you're angry you're really angry
have y'all seen that series on Netflix beef
beef
I'm like
road rage
is a serious thing
because just being angry you do things
outside of yourself
because you have a conviction that I
must do this and it's dangerous
when Christians are moved by emotions
because they begin to call emotions the
voice of God
and if you don't know the nature of God
you won't discern between the two
because if you have a best friend [Applause]
[Applause]
someone cannot lie to you about what
they said or did
because you know your friend you're like
nah that doesn't sound like her that
doesn't make any sense if someone said
to my friend or my husband man your wife
wants to go watch this horror movie he
was saying no
that's definitely not my wife now if you
said Shrek I would believe that she
would stay up to watch her some Shrek
when you know someone
you know their nature you can discern
and I'm saying this because it's so
critical because we are in the last days
and they're going to be deceptionist not
just in what looks like deception
it's not just what you think it is
but deception also comes through people
carrying titles in the church [Applause]
[Applause]
because you have to recognize when Satan
knew that he could not destroy the move
of God through the church he recognized
the only way to bring destruction is to
and so that's why the Bible talks about
false prophets
it's not saying that randomly he's
saying their people will come in my name
and I never sent them [Applause]
[Applause]
and if you don't think that God could
speak to you for yourself
if you don't think that you could hear
the word of God for yourself that you
could learn the nature of God for
yourself to discern between the two then
and this is important because when
reading scriptures like this
you might only catch that he was a
prophet that the word of God spoke to or
the word of God came through not
realizing you also carry the spirit of Prophecy
Prophecy
and if you Avail yourself to the Lord he
will speak to you
right so then the scripture continues
and says
arise and go to zeropath right which
belongs to sin and all that good stuff
and he says to him see I have commanded
a widow to provide for you
but nowhere in the Bible
do we see God having a conversation
with the Widow
matter of fact
what we just read
when the Widow is even asked
like hey you know could you prepare some
bread for me the Widow said look I know
you're a prophet but you're not sin right
right
because clearly I don't have enough food
we're literally about to prepare food
and die so at one point
did God command
command
the Widow
and I studied the word command
and it literally means to ordain or appoint
appoint
and then I thought about where have I
seen that word
and then Jeremiah 1 5 came to me
God said to Jeremiah
before I formed you
I knew you
and before you were born
I Sanctified you
and ordained you a prophet to the Nations
Nations
then I found myself in Psalms 139 16 and
this is what David was saying he said
your eyes he's talking about God he said
your eyes saw my unformed body
all the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be
and I began to realize
when God said I have commanded a widow
to feed you this was not a conversation
he had with her in real time this was
something that was ordained even before
she came into existence
you see I want you to know
there is a you that God is trying to
have this version of you meet
there is a you that God knows there is a
version of you that all your days have
been written before him there is a
version of you that God appointed and
ordained and said I will back up even
before you were born there is a call of
God on your life
and you don't even recognize there was a conversation
conversation
that happened before you ever got here
so when the word of God comes to you it
that you may not remember this conversation
conversation
you may not remember this appointment
but before you even got here there were
and you see the enemy does not want you
to know you
because the real you is a threat
the real you would not be distracted by
things beneath you
if you began to realize that God's word
to you is not you doing the favor to God
is God bringing a mirror in front of you
you see Jesus is a perfect example
Jesus walked the Earth
30 years he was Undercover
he was just acting like a carpenter's son
son
maybe build some chairs and whatnot
created some I don't know some things
for a funeral can you imagine life
at a funeral
you have to recognize the Bible
literally tells us when Jesus went to
his hometown
and the people heard about him and the
Miracles he did it says they were
offended at him why would they be offended
offended
because could it be
that they're looking at Jesus and
they're like you were at my mom's funeral
so all this time
when we had lack
when people around us were dying you
want to now show up and say you are the
way the truth and the life
can you imagine life in itself Undercover
Undercover
provision in the form of a man Undercover
Undercover
because for 30 years
he was not allowed to show who he really is
is
and then when the appointed time came
Jesus removed the veil and said you
might think I'm marriage boy but I'm
actually the son of the Living God and I
the only difference between us and Jesus
he was so in tune with the father
you see Jesus yes he was 100 God but he
was also a hundred percent man
he did not come in the strength of being
a God he came in the form of full Humanity
Humanity
dependence on the spirit of God so he
could show us how to do it
because you see let me let me read
something and it makes sense to me why
we procrastinate
because literally when Elijah who is
fully aware of the instruction of the
Lord the Lord said I have commanded a widow
widow
to feed you
when Elijah sees this woman he says to
her please
bring me a little water in a cup that I
may drink please
please
you know why we procrastinate
because we think the words of God are suggestive
suggestive
we think that we are doing God a favor
we think that God is suggesting to us
what we should do with our lives
Elijah comes to this woman and says please
please
he comes in the form of the only one
the first thing he doesn't tell her hey
I am the Prophet Elijah and I've been
sent by God if you feed me you will have
no lack
that's not the first thing he says
the first thing he says is please
may I have
some water to drink
you see we often procrastinate
because we think our obedience to God is
when in reality there is nothing we can do
do
to add to him or take away from him
we think that when God is calling us
away from something and to something
else it's about being a good Christian
for the glory of God
and it is for the glory of God but we
so we take our time God just give me
like five more years
give me two more years
right now because when I when I'm when I
was praying for you I could feel who's
in the room
and there are many right now
you've been procrastinating
on the word God gave you
've been procrastinating on the
instructions God gave you
because you're thinking it's more about him
him
and less about you
you're thinking you're doing God a favor
that God I know you just need me to do
this I just need some time I need to
wrap some things up I need to focus on X
that yes
God's glory is connected to it
that yes God will be glorified
but there is also a glory god assigned
that yes God will be glorified
but even the thing you're pursuing if
you would listen to the voice of God
you think it's about it's only about God
and it's not about you Elijah says to
this woman please
and the Holy Spirit is such a gentleman
he doesn't Force his way with you
so when God speaks to you you feel as
though you can sit on it
that's why when we enter environments
like this
all of a sudden the spirit of the Lord
of things he said to us five years ago
seven years ago
six months ago
two weeks ago
that if we were honest we heard it and
we backed away
and we're like God I don't think I have
what it takes I I know this is what you
want me to do but you need to find
somebody else
you need to look for another person and
you don't even realize yes it's about
God but it's also about you [Music]
[Music]
that your life didn't start here
and it doesn't end here
we have to live with an eternal perspective
perspective
I came from God
and I'm gonna continue on this journey
with him
and where I came from
there is something I already signed up
and my walk on this Earth
is that I may remember and grab hold on
to what he held on to me for [Music]
[Music]
the word of God is for you as much as it
is for the glory of God it is your mirror
mirror
it is your reminder
the potential to do this already exists
in you
the ability to do the thing that
frightens you is already you already
have the capacity and the potential for it
it
and this is the place heaven will back
you up
you were not called to live a natural
mundane life
you came from a realm that is Supernatural
Supernatural
so everything about who you are is
supposed to be Supernatural
and so he first says to her please
please
and in the beginning she doesn't quite
understand it but there is still
humility in her tone
she says as the Lord your God lives
she's like I just want to be honest I
don't have enough
and even what I do have
I'm preparing it for me and my son that
we may eat
and die
see the Lord showed me
there's some of you and you're literally
on the verge of giving up
you're literally on the verge of like God
God
I I don't I don't have it in me
I don't have what it takes to continue
this journey
I'm trying and I'm trying and I don't
have what it takes you see the Widow was
not by herself
and sometimes kids can also represent
the things that God has called you to
birth on the Earth
their projects their Visions their ideas
that God has given you
and you're literally on the verge of
saying God I don't know
how to sustain me and this
I don't know how we're gonna do this
and you're on the verge of giving up
but here is the beautiful thing that happens
happens
even in that place
he says and Elijah said to her
do not fear
and he follows up with it in the next
verse for thus
says the Lord God of Israel
now he begins to communicate to her the
word of God
you see what I love about this woman
is how the word met her
this woman was not out there searching
for alternative means
she wasn't going to a psychic for an
appointment to say hey when is the
drought gonna be over
she wasn't Consulting means outside of God
God
because she feared she you see the Widow
already suffered loss
she knew what it meant to go through a
laws she lost her husband
now she's left alone with just her and
her son
many of you here you've encountered
disappointment you've suffered loss
to the point that now it feels more like
home than Victory should [Music]
[Music]
disappointment is more comfortable for
you the idea of being disappointment
feels more at home than the idea of
having a testimony [Music]
[Music]
so the woman already settled in her mind
I lost my husband that's what she says
to herself I'm assuming
and now she's like she's left alone as a widow
widow
and the same death is creeping back in
she can't control the circumstances
there is a famine in the land
what does it feel like when you're just
like God I can't control the circumstances
circumstances
but this is what kept me up all night
because I could feel the heart of the
father for you
I could feel the love of God for you
and that in God's mercy and in his
goodness he is sending a word to you
then in that place of disappointment
in that place where you no longer had
expectation for a testimony
in that place of hopelessness God says I
am sending a word to you
and that word will change everything
so the Lord starts by saying do not fear
and I want you to receive that right now
God I'm not going to be afraid
I'm gonna be open
to receive what you are saying to me
I'm gonna be open
to understand who I truly am in you God
I'm not gonna fear
because you see her obedience there was
sacrifice connected to it
Elijah did not provide before she fed him
him
so Faith was involved
and sometimes Faith feels like your last
resort because you've just been met by
disappointment over and over again and
I'm telling you
the voice of God was so clear in this
and he says I'm doing a new thing in
your life
there is a word that is coming to you
whether it is coming to you as a fresh
word or the reminder of what God already
said to you
and God said this time
if you will take that word
and move in obedience
that you would experience Supernatural possibilities
you see I remember one of the things the
Lord said to me to ask you
is that do you know the cost
do you know the cost
that every time you want to back away
from what God is instructing you to do
remind yourself do I recognize the cost
of living a lie
because anything beneath the word of God
to you it's not only a lie it is the
that you can be living in just existing
not truly tapping in
to what God always knew about you
as I was in prayer for this
I want to remind you
that in the place of obedience there is Grace
Grace
there is a Divine empowerment
you're not doing this by yourself
you see one of the things that fills me up
up
is knowing that the journey that God has
called us on
are not just shoes that I'm supposed to feel
feel
it's a shoe that I feel with him
it reveals my dependence on him
but there is a supernatural Grace
that comes upon your life
when you are willing to align
when you're willing to commit
to what God said about you
and again I go back to Jesus because he
embodied this so well
when Jesus was in the wilderness being tested
tested
the Bible literally tells us in the Book
of Matthew
you see Jesus was fasting for 40 days
right no food
but then the Bible highlights something
so powerful
it says that after he fasted for 40 days
he was hungry [Music]
[Music]
how do you wait until the 40th Day
to then realize you're hungry for some
of us just a father fasting I'm all
right you get hungry already
somebody's like hey you know we should
fast tomorrow you just had dinner you
say yeah you know
I'll go get some pizza let me prepare
myself for this fast
but Jesus 40 days
he did not feel hunger and it was not
because it's Jesus it's because of the
grace that was backing him up [Music]
[Music] [Applause]
[Applause]
tables and the moments we have no clue
what happened in those 40 days we know
what happened after
but in those 40 days there was something
he was obedient to and there was a Grace
that he will not get hungry he will not
leave the Wilderness before time but he
will be he will stay there
until what needed to be completed was completed
any minister of the Gospel will tell you this
this
that every time we get on the altar
there is a Grace that backs you up
literally didn't sleep today I went to
bed at 6 00 am
because I was so caught up in the
presence of God and I was just spending
time in prayer and then when I realized
it was 6 a.m I'm like oh all right I got
one hour to sleep
and I got a baby
but then I realized God
I am not here preaching by myself
Heaven backs you up in the place you are
called to be and so you might be worried
about do you have what it takes and God
says when you step into the thing
I am with you
you would experience a Divine
empowerment that upholds you
God will give you strategy beyond what
you know because you have said yes
to you [Music]
[Music]
stand with me [Music]
[Music]
thank you Jesus
thank you Lord
thank you Lord
God is changing stories in this place
God is changing stories in this place
thank you Lord thank you Lord [Music]
[Music]
if you don't mind just to for a moment
and silence every noise every internal noise
noise [Music]
see the Lord speaking to you
I see the Lord bringing things back to
your memory [Music]
[Music]
I see where he is emphasizing on that word
word
[Music]
and I just sense his love in this building
building
you see the word of God says perfect love
love
and that the one who fears has not been
perfected by love what is that telling us
us
that you're not afraid
because there's something to be afraid of
that's just the narrative we give ourselves
ourselves
but we're really afraid
because we don't know if God is going to
we question his love towards us
maybe because of the things you've experienced
experienced
not recognizing that every decision God makes
makes
what he allows
some things are not his perfect will
there's some things that he allows
but at the end of the day he will cause
and so when we fear
it is the evidence
that we have allowed the enemy
to cause us to question
if God is really backing us up
God are you really going to be with me
if I walked away from this toxic relationship
relationship
is there anyone there for me
God if I move to this city are you
God you've been showing me a there
but I don't know anyone there
God do you really have a tribe for me
but I want you to hold on to this
that when the word of God comes to you
it is your mirror
God is showing you the you
that has always existed that this
thank you Jesus
that is why the Bible says
on Earth
as it is
in heaven
In Heaven There is a book written about you
you
that Revelation came to David he said
even before you soar my my before you
saw my you know when you saw my unformed
body rather
all my days were written before you
so essentially before I was born
my life was already a testament before you
you
this is also why when you go all the way
back to Genesis [Music]
[Music]
I always pay attention to what God looks at
at [Music]
[Music]
when the Bible talks about what the eyes
of the Lord was on or when Jesus is
walking the earth I love to pay
attention to the things he focuses on
and in Genesis we see one of the first
moments of what the eyes of God was on
and it was when the Lord brought the
animals to Adam
and the Bible says to see
what he would name them
and then after Adam finished his name in
The Animals
the Bible says
and whatever Adam called them was
its name was
was
its name their names already existed and
now God creates the man in his own image
after his own alikeness and he puts it
to the test
does he really think like he should be thinking
thinking
does he think like us
does he see things like us
because any good Creator would test what
so after he creates the man he says
let's just make sure
this is not a dummy project right
right
so he brings animals to him
to see
if he will call them according to what
their names are already called [Music]
Who You Are
the real you
and God is just put in a mirror in front
just about my glory
so we're gonna pray
but I want to take this moment
and maybe if you can get closer to the
altar that you will just raise your hand
up wherever you are
but if you're making that commitment
that you're saying God I'm no longer running
running
I saw this wrong
I thought it was just because you were
up there and you just needed somebody to
do this
not realizing
this is all so connected to me
you've let fear you
you've let anxiety your movements
movements
but God is speaking to you right now
and you're saying you know what Lord
here I am
I say yes to you
take advantage of the hunger
and feed yourself what's necessary
and I tell you
in the place of obedience
what you're looking for
is looking for you
so if you want to get close to the altar
you can do that
if you want to stay in your seats you
can do that whatever you want to do if
you want to just lift up your hand you
can do that
but I want to just give you an
opportunity to make room for yourself
and God
however you see fit
thank you Jesus we're gonna pray
if you don't mind just close your eyes
Heavenly Father
we love you God
and Lord we are committing our lives in
our ways before you
that as you are releasing words to us
throughout this conference
that Lord we are going to run with it
we're no longer going to back away in
fear and anxiety
but we're going to be full of faith
and move in obedience
in the direction that you have called us to
to
so Lord we thank you
I thank you for your sons and daughters
in this place
I thank you Lord because you know each
and you have seen the totality of their lives
have your way in this place
have your way in this place
have your way in this place
when I talked about there are some of you
you
this conference felt like your final hope
hope [Music]
[Music]
and you have been contemplating
ending your life
because you felt like that is the only thing
thing
and I can't shake this off
and there's only one thing that the holy
spirit is telling me to have you do [Music]
[Music]
and that and and before you do this I'm
because wherever you are in the room
that you will shout Jesus and this is why
because rather than using your words to
confess death
rather than using your words to confess
the end of a thing
you will speak forth the name of life [Music]
and just like so many testimonies are
going to come out of this conference
you were going to see the Lord radically
shift your life
and so the lights are down
you don't have to worry about who's next
to you who's in front of you
you see I would always choose Freedom
over validation [Music]
[Music]
to in this [Music]
[Music]
who is your savior and who has already
purposed to lift you out of this pit
and so wherever you are
I'm gonna count down from three
and I want you with everything in you
because you're gonna make a mockery of
the enemy and and say you thought you
could have my mind but Jesus has my life
so we're gonna count down and I want you
to shout his name and as loud as you can three
three
