You Were Built for Something Specific - Here Is How to Find It

to understand that we went through a four weeks of four weeks of of prophetic prophetic training if i can call it that way no it is prophetic training i say can't say i can call it that way but with the prophetic training we had four things that we said into the prophetic training which we ran through it and we said we we were speaking about hearing god clearly about interpreting what you hear about the purity and the motives and then building a prophetic culture now i can i can safely say to you that when you speak about something the speaking of something is is useless if there is nothing that back it up i must actually say have you ever heard somebody talking about the holy spirit for probably for a whole year and nothing happened and the holy spirit doesn't come and prove themselves you can't speak about jesus for a whole month and jesus doesn't manifest in your life there's an error there's a big error you can't talk about prophetic for a whole four weeks continuously and nothing prophetic happens in your life that's an error that's a big error the word of god is like an is is is is taken as a two-edged sort now two-edged sort meaning it cuts through bone and marrow and the bible says that god honors his word more than he honors himself so whenever you have spoken about so many things about prophetic and the prophetic doesn't come out there's something wrong something deeply wrong and that is that is why today i'm coming to you with the subject i have entitled prophetic encounter so i've entitled it prophetic encounter now the prophetic encounter if you if you go to the bible and you read second timothy and you read second timothy one second timothy one verse six i want us to go to second timothy one verse six he says wherefore i put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of god which is in thee by putting on my hands the the gift that was stir up in me by putting up my hands now this scripture if you go to the new king james it says therefore i remind you to stir up the gift of god which is in you through the laying of my hands now if somebody has been able to come to church on a weekly basis and something doesn't happen i can guarantee you something is is blocking your your your your things if i can say that way because why this why this verse if i can speak to you about this verse this verse says the gift of god now if you're looking at it the prophetic grace and hearing and the revelation that comes from prophetic that we've been teaching about should be stirring up some sort of a gift in your life if i say some sort of a gift i mean some people think that god only speak through evangelists pastors prophets men of god he doesn't each and everyone have a specific gift that god has been given to you now how do you know what is the gift i have something levan on my desk there's a book with lots and lots of on my yeah there's a book with lots and lots of paper just bring the whole book like that so when you're talking about the gift we all don't know what our gift is but do you know when we're talking about our gifts the problem is not our gifts the problem is that we focus on the wrong things you know when i say you focus on the wrong things you wanna talk like the man of god that speaks in front of you you wanna think like him you wanna preach like him but they are not you you see your mother praying in tongues you wanna be like your mother but that is that is not you so my question to you is bishop you see now now i've put so many papers together here why bishop you can see i like this studying thing so when i studied last night i forgot to put these papers in order okay but this is the one i'm looking for so when somebody is is saying that what is my gift i wanna give you a some sort of a small understanding what the bible say so the gift of god now here i'm speaking specifically about spiritual gifts because there's some gift that is not spiritual but here i'm speaking a specific one now if you go to to the first corinthians 14 verse one you remember the scripture that we we've been preaching about this scripture like ever since we started this this what they call it this series but today don't get me wrong this is not a follow up on the series of prophetic that we spoke about this is if you if you think it's a follow up you will be wrong you will be entirely wrong so first first corinthians and we say 14 verse 1 i'll tell you now why i'm saying so follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts but rather that ye may prophesy and and did you hear he says and desire spiritual gifts now what is this spiritual gifts we are talking about i will give you just a brief of a few spiritual gifts that you can think of now when you're talking about the gift of artistic creativity what is that the gift of artistic creativity these are the people that do all the dancing the sculptures the pottery the poetry the music compositions and obviously writing focuses on creative things you know so this is to edify others now if you ever have spoken to somebody before remember this is my remember what i said what is the title of the message prophetic encounter but here i'm speaking about gifts you will soon hear where i'm heading with this so that is your artistic so when you're looking at people that is artistic these are the ones that set the church foundation like where must the pulpit be how must the church be running how you know things like that whenever you look at the background of the church how the background of the church should be bishop have you ever thought of that guy who makes a stage looking so beautiful but never think of him because you think of the preacher only standing in front and don't think of the gifts of the artistic ones don't think about the poetic ones these are the artistic then you find a gift of craft manship this is now where bishop comes in the craft of knowing how to put an engine together because the gift of craft manship these are the people that build things like like when you say a caripe or even people that is that is servicing in the church the gift of service now these are the people that when they serve you we we we have a problem we don't see a gardener as a service but if you are looking at what a gardener do a gardener makes the garden look so beautiful that when you are looking at the garden you are at peace you almost feel like I am in the garden of Eden but do you understand why I am saying the gift of craft manship is also a service that God gives to you and this is just the basics I'm not even going into the prophetic gift I'm still about to talk about then the gift of giving maybe maybe somebody will ask you just talk talk talk you don't go back up with scripture but I don't want to go into that scripture thing I want us to focus on what I'm saying if you go to for argument sake if you go to 1 Kings 7 verse 14 I just want to go one back let's just go one back 1 Kings 7 I don't want to take too much time but I I'm building it I'm building it so 7 verse 14 says as follow this is now 1 Kings sorry 1 Kings 7 verse 14 says he was a widow son of the tribe of Naphtali and his father was a man of Ty a worker in brass and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning to work all works in brass and he came to King Solomon wrote all his work so can you see somebody who is sorry who is artistic but I don't want to focus on the scriptures I just want you to just understand there is scriptures that back this up what I'm saying and if you're talking about the craftsmanship this can also speak about the craftsmanship but the gift of craftsmanship but if you go to Exodus 30 let me do Acts 18 verse 3 because Exodus 30 will be a long read and I don't want the long read so if you go to Acts 18 and verse 3 Acts 18 verse 3 says the following and because he was of the same craft he abode with them and wrote for their occupation they were tent makers now if you're thinking of a tent maker in the olden years is a builder that we built today because in the old days you couldn't have stayed in one place for far too long you moved as the water goes bishop you know when the water is finished here like the oasis they call it when the oasis is finished here you can't be staying there anymore you now need to and therefore it's called a tent maker so that the tent can be picked up and moved to another place unlike today where our resources is like Pretoria not for argument sake our resources has been so much that we've been having this Pretoria not since the 1900 somewhere around there I don't even know how long it has been back but if you go into the wilderness or into the desert you can't stay for far too long at one place Dubai is a different thing I'm not going to go into that but do you know Dubai is man made do you understand what I'm trying to say so they had to build tents that is craftsmanship now imagine if somebody couldn't make tents that is a gift that God has been giving to them then you find the gift of giving sometimes people understand this gift wrongly I hope I'm not explaining it wrongly as well but what the gift of giving is is that when you when you have the gift of giving it enables believers like yourself and myself it enables believers to give material things to others like somebody who just walk past you and you see the shoes are just not right and you can see thorns and stones are pricking this guy from the bottom because the shoes are finished and you being the having the gift of giving you just feel like I need to give this guy shoes do you understand the gift of giving and the gift of giving it helps others to to to live a better life now some of us are struggling through life but somebody can just come to you and say look I just feel led that today I just want to give you a word it's a gift of giving just a word to say I believe God is telling me that today as you are sitting here and feel discouraged that I need to encourage you I'm giving you a word and that is why I'm saying I hope I don't explain it in a wrong way because the gift of giving is not about the tangible materialistic things always it has other things included as well the gift of hospitality I think I must leave this thing and just explain it briefly you know the reason why I'm saying I should explain it briefly so that I can take time and explain it in depth because where I'm heading is not this it I'm heading into a different direction but this is to build on the foundation so that you can understand where we're heading now the gift of knowledge is just somebody knowing something you don't understand how do you know this but for some weird reason when somebody asks you something you just know it out of nowhere you just know it that is the gift of knowledge because it enables the believers also to generate or to collect and analyze ideas you just know it you don't know where you know it from but you just know it then the gift of mercy it enables Christian to demonstrate empathy quickly I'm going I'm rushing the gift of music it enables believer to play any musical instrument or singing or whatever they use to edify the body of Christ sometimes when we when we sit here we are a generation of if there's no music the church is not doing well it's almost like as if you are waiting for a musician to hit a chord before you can do something but God has given us the voice to sing some of us have a natural talent to sing sorry has a natural talent to sing and the talent to sing it's a gift of music somebody can just you understand can just go and there's sound and it sounds nice that's the gift of music the gift of organization now what it means is you have a gift to understand the goals and specific things that must happen in the church of God I'll get into this some other time but now it's just to to build from where I'm going then the gift of of of of of this one I will say it wrongly you know some people have that gift that they don't want to eat it's a gift of taking away from them it's almost like make you poor so that others can become rich a mother is a good example of that what I mean by this is that sometimes the food is not enough the mother will then rather say let me share it between the kids and me I go hungry because I know I can keep it in for the next two days or three days but the kids can't so that is a gift of voluntary poverty you voluntarily go poor so that others can become rich and that is a weird gift for somebody to understand but I'm just giving you the gift out of a mother's perspective so that you can understand what I mean then there's another one which is called the gift of wisdom now the gift of wisdom enable us to help others with what we have gained over the years to implement into their lives you see what I'm saying so these are the gifts I'm talking about now I leave that and I say to you going to the scriptures it says therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God I was saying gift of God then the next wording says which is in you I've not said that you must get which is in you now my question to you is have you ever make somebody love without even thinking of it it's a gift that is within you have you ever think of it that for some weird reason you just feel like poetry is my thing without even anybody told you you are good in poetic bishop in the course of the week we were talking about some of the things that that you do without somebody has spoken to you about it you just does it you can almost call it like it's a natural in birth of something within you and what I mean by natural in birth laven bishop you must see laven handwriting her handwriting is so clean nobody can miss what she has wrote it's a natural gift that she has and she doesn't write slow she writes fast natural me the faster I write the more uglier it becomes it's not my gift so there's a natural gift that is within you that you need to ask the question what can I do with this gift because some people have just that natural and these are the things that is within you it's not something that you must go and look for bishop Matthew you need to you need to have grace to understand how to change his mind bishop that one you can't change his mind easily once his mind is made up he have a natural gift of believing in what he believe you can't change it unless you come with a different strategy to make him believe otherwise these are the things that we are talking about that is within you already and I'm just touching the surface I've not even go far then it says the gift which is in you through the laying on of my hands now when you say through the laying on of my hands that is what we call the act of impartation the act of impartation into somebody so it's a transferring of grace it's it's literally confirming the calling that is already upon your life and and and this it says to stir up where the Greek word for stir up is anazopirio it means to fan into flame again so it's there the fire is there you just need a fan to stir it up like where I come from we will make fire at night then during the course of the night the fire will die down in the morning when we wake up all we do is just blow off the ash and there's some coal underneath and all you can do is just put some small sticks on top of it and your fire will start again that's the thing about stirring up about stirring up so this is now where we have done this whole four weeks is to stir up what God has put into you to stir up what God has been putting into you now now I'm going over to my message prophetic encounter and today you will forgive me I have made sure I wrote it down Bishop you know why I wrote it down because when I wrote it down it is better for me to not forget what I was about to say so I will read forgive me normally I prepare it my message so nicely that I don't need to go to my notes but today I want to make sure I stick to my notes and therefore I will read it now number one God speaks through identity and I want to make sure that you understand that prophetically you are a child of God help there you are a child of God meaning to say somebody who is my child do you I don't know the small thing inside your room check for something small yeah you will help you will help so when you are a child of God it means that you are actually an heir of God Isaiah 43 verse 1 says that you are mine now when you are mine it means that whatever I have whatever I have it's yours too huh whatever I have is yours too so when I when I when I speak about this now I am reminded of Jeremiah 1 verse 5 he says before I formed you in the womb I knew you so if you are mine and I knew you it means that you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood according to 1 Peter 2 verse 9 now I want to declare this to you that whenever you are a child of God and you are called by name he has taken your name and wrote it in the palm of your hand now bishop do you know each and every one of us our names are written in his palm not just written but tattooed you know when I take a pen and I write it down I can take anything else it will take it off but when it is tattooed it's not easy to be taken out it's not easy to be taken off so therefore you should understand that God's identity is within you and prophetically if you don't understand that you will make so much mistakes thinking that you are useless thinking that you are nothing but in the realm of the spirit you are greater than anyone else that doesn't know God so I call you by name you are not an accident on earth but a design of heaven so I have written your story in my book not one chapter is missing this is God speaking to you today the prophetic encounter that you have with God is that rise from the shame that you have put yourself into because his hand is still upon you there's no need for you to keep on saying that I am like a job sitting on the ass whoop let's call it rubbish bins you are putting yourself into the place like that you putting yourself into that because you are written you are his and being his you need to understand that every moment of every day although I sometimes say you need to understand the difference between a creation of God or a child of God so these are the things that that goes through so many things so what I'm trying to say is that you need to understand one thing being a child of God and being created of God there might be two different things you might be thinking I am a child of God but have you given your life to Jesus as yet have you given your life to Jesus as yet because if you have not given your life to Jesus you cannot be called a son of God you cannot be called a son of God so I call you by name you are not an accident number two one thing that we don't understand is that we are going through a lot so many times we are broken down we are cast down we are literally there's too many things that happen in our lives I remember the what is the time when me and my ex girlfriend departed ways or do you call it separated I didn't break up we just departed ways and I was so broken down bishop that I believe I would never be able to gain another woman in my life again I was broke down the way I cried many nights many nights but least did I know I was just bruised I was not broken do you know there's a difference between bruised and broken because if your hand or your arm is bruised the fix is quicker but when it's broken it can take months for it to come to be perfected or be fixed if let's go to Isaiah 42 verse 3 please let me let me do this Isaiah 43 and I want us to read Isaiah 43 come on I'm saying 42 sorry 42 verse 3 sorry 42 verse 3 he says a bruised wreath shall he not break and a smoking flax shall he not quench he shall bring forth judgment unto the truth so can you see he says a bruised wreath so there's a difference between you being bruised and you being broken so when I when I left my children's mother I thought I would never ever ever find somebody like that again bishop let's talk about my wife today the way I love this woman I can't believe that at that time of a tender age of 21 years I thought I will never find anybody again because when I leave her I was broken that I didn't want any woman in my life even but God is saying a bruised wreath he will not break I was not broken I was just bruised and I'm healed today so when God is saying that to you I am binding the hearts that life has shattered he says to you you thought that your song was over but I'm teaching you a new melody he said let the oil of joy replace morning because joy cometh in the morning do you know that the Bible says that weeping may endure it for a night but joy comes in the morning are you currently in your night season because if you are I can say to you the night season has a problem because people don't know when night season is over because if you looking at it exactly 12 o'clock at night it's 0 0 0 a new day is starting and it's still dark and people don't understand that prophetically your darkness is already a new day that has come and your joy is there already but because you look at the circumstances of life and you only see the darkness surrounding you and therefore you can't see your joy but I prophesied to you today that even in darkness your joy will come forth and it will be bring forth in the mighty name of Jesus even the oil that was dried up for your joy has been replacing Jesus name God is saying to you now he's rewriting the end that you are in he's rewriting the whole section that you taught is finished bishop do you know that we always have this thing where we say we remember the former things bishop there's a time where everybody was saying when I came to the Lord that was the best of times you know like you are fired up and when you are looking at it today you are like I wish I can go back to that time but the Bible says it so nicely he says that do not remember the former things behold I will do a new thing that's Isaiah 43 behold I will do a new thing now why would you want to go back to is it Andre Crouch Bishop it's Andre Crouch take me back take me back dear Lord to a place where I first receive you Andre Crouch sing this song and we are so much enjoying the lyrics because we feel the first time when we come to the Lord but do you know that he is about to do a new thing in your life he's doing a new thing in your life but you holding on to the old doesn't see the new thing that is created in your life so so God is lifting up your faith where it used to be to a better level because faith is rising again I can guarantee you now that the things that you have seen before is nothing there's no weight there's no skill that can show you it's better those years than what he's about to do in your life now and I can say to you the delays that was there it was not a denial from God in your life that delays was actually a preparation for your now season it was a preparation for your now season some of the things is delayed because of God can see your strength is not strong enough to hold the glory that he's about to put into your hands you are not strong enough to understand bishop you are not strong enough to be a millionaire because your mindset is still on a hundred a some people were supposed to be long time millionaires but they can't live with a hundred rent and stretch the hundred rent to be a millionaire they keep on having the millions and stretch it to a hundred so the denial of that is that God is not denying you he's teaching you how to become a millionaire do you know bishop that when you when you when you looking at this what is the lotto the lotto winners most of the lotto winners today and I'm not saying all of them but most of the lotto winners today when they they've been living from paycheck to paycheck and suddenly received five million rent they make that five million rent back to that paycheck to paycheck living again because they have not been taught how to use money well bishop how can you be giving bread to the eater because bread to the eater is one meal but seed to the sower is millions of meals to come I wish I wish I wish we can understand that because God is prophetically telling us he's giving us seed and not bread so the delays was not a denial so step forward what you taught was wilderness you know that way you think that yo I can't take it anymore this wilderness where I every day need to eat manna and once the manna is finished I must think of tomorrow what am I going to eat tomorrow again he provided another manna so while the wilderness was a situation where you thought it's the end of the thing it was actually the step of the doorway to your greatness the doorway to your greatness I wish somebody can understand this do you know when when when we think there's a casting down the Lord is saying there's a lifting you and and and if our casting down look like casting down Jesus I am saying to you now God is about to lift somebody while they think it's a dark season while they think it's the morning time not knowing that night time begins 12 o'clock at night and 12 o'clock at night is very dark but the joy has already been coming so when God is here he is saying to you he will break every chain because the breaking of the chain is the no no I don't want to read the scripture Isaiah 61 verse 1 says the following the spirit of God is upon me to proclaim liberty to the captives to proclaim liberty to the captives so now when you're talking about liberty to the captives every chain that held your voice every chain that held your gift every chain that held your destiny every chain that that were keeping you in captivity are broken down today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior so I am the Lord who delivers regardless of wherever you are you think that you are in the pit of hell but he's delivering you today so walk out of the prison of fear and the door is open there walk out of the prison of fear because fear has kept us so long fear has kept us in a place where we don't know where to go and this fear therefore the Bible says I've not been giving you the spirit of fear but of a sound mind so let your mind be able to be thinking don't let fear rule your life I'm afraid that if I go ask mommy for 10 rand she will fight me I'm afraid that if I ask my dad to take me somewhere he will fight again it's not that it's not that I want you to understand something if fear is the reason why you don't or did do something you have it wrongly you have it wrongly because fear has come to a place where we we are afraid of what others will say to us if I preach the word of God I fear what will people think if I start this business and fail what will people think if I don't manage this management position for enough is is I wish you can understand where I'm coming from there's a there's a in in depth revelation from fear that I got from God bishop many of us are afraid of success do you know why I say it the fear of success had been we have been so much afraid of people that are jealous about us that we fear to succeed bishop must I say it again the fear of what people they are so jealous of made you to fear success I'll explain let me explain to you if I earn a million rent a month do you know I will be able to buy a house with two million rent more or less now when I look at the two million rent worth of house and I look at the people that is struggling around me I'm worried that what will they say am I a drug dealer what will they say am I using muti to get a house so the fear of being in that situation makes us not to want to prosper because we worry that my others might see us differently I am worried if I can look back when I go home my next door neighbor has never been able to how do you call it they were not able to gain let's make it financially let's call it financially they were not able to buy a car that is over 300,000 they were not able but if I look at it they were having the money to buy it but because of people's hearts he was thinking they will they will bewitch him so he drove NP200 small car because he's worried that somebody when he gets something bigger they will bewitch him today when I drive with a car that is not even 500,000 this car is 200 and something that I'm driving 200 something thousand it's not even my car that I can say to you when I go home somebody will come and complain how do you get this car in Joburg maybe there where you are you are stealing maybe you are dealing with drugs but it's because we are too afraid and these are the things that I'm saying to you we need to break that chain because God has provided to us God has provided to us God is a God of provision a God of provision because if you see according to Psalm 34 verse 10 it says that the young lions lack and suffer hunger but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing even have you not been seeking the Lord for far too long why are you still lacking have you not been seeking God because according to the Bible in what is that Matthew 6 33 seek first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and all other things will be added coming back to this scripture now he says the long lions lack and suffer hunger but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing what is good is food not good why are you hungry bishop that thing of us you know what we what we do we we eat bread because it's the cheapest but the yeast in the bread is giving alzas some of the things I can't eat when was it during the this week or last week I had such a heart burn because I eat bread again bread peanut butter and jam I love it bishop I love it with my whole heart but too much of it has been killing my stomach but God has provided so what he has provided is good things cranberry juice bishop these kids of mine these days they just want cranberry juice and not any cranberry juice it must be the liquid fruit cranberry juice juice not the there's another one that come from other brands but it needs to be the liquor fruit one when I look at that thing it's not cheap it's not cheap but he said the Bible says that he who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing for how long must you keep on seeking the Lord Philippians and my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory so provision is finding you in hidden places where you've been hiding from provision where Satan has been putting you under the blanket so that provision don't see you God is telling me to tell you today that he's lifting you so that people can see you where provision is a part of you God is preparing a table in front of your enemies God is feeding your faith he's feeding your faith before he feeds your mouth because some of us are waiting for our mouths to be fed but our faith has been dying in the process the Lord of provision I remember there was a time that I thought that only doctors can fix us I was I was I think I was about 15 or 14 here somewhere around there and I had a problem with my back and my mom would always say I can't say it Afrikaans I mean I can't say it English bishop I must say Afrikaans because it makes more understanding so what she meant I'm too small to have a back ache but my back has been broken since I was young or not my back has been broken but they call that that white bone in between the back bones what does I mean but it's a soft bone you see so that soft yeah the vervals that soft bone has been crushed and the older I got the soft bone is gone and it hit my bones it was bone against bone and any time I complain about the pain my mother and father used to say nonsense the 2014 I woke up one morning with a pain that was quite unbearable the first thing I went I thought I'll go to the doctor the doctor will just help ah the doctor said straight emergency operation emergency operation I go to the Eugene Marais yeah Eugene Marais I got there and the only thing they can they said to me ah emergency operation I went through the operation and the worst part of it is must I explain it now Laverne being small of age like four yeah four years she so much want me to pick her up bishop but after the operation I could not pick anybody I couldn't pick anybody it was a struggle yeah you were one years of age so now where am I getting with this if only I would have had more feet to believe that God is healing I wouldn't have gone through that operation but I believed in the doctors but the Bible says I am the Lord who heals according to Exodus 15 verse 21 according to Isaiah 53 verse 5 by his stripes we are healed but our faith has been so low and through our faith is where our problem comes in so I decree and declare that bodies aligned with God's word minds return to peace emotions come under grace healing is not distant it is our present resting on him the Lord restores us as a family the Lord restores us as a family because if you are looking at it Malachi says it as following he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children because so many times we have been hurt so much by our children's actions that we reject them bishop my problem is one so many men doesn't have their children in their lives too many men let me say it that way too many of them went to go and buy soap and they slip and slide they are gone so God will restore that kind of families too many husbands and wives don't like each other because somebody was whispering do you know this husband of yours what he was doing but God is visiting homes today God is about to enter into places where the child doesn't even want to know the father anymore because of the rejection that come from birth and the rejection that come from birth God is saying today the cycle of abandonment will end today and reconciliation will begin reconciliation will begin do you know why I'm saying reconciliation will begin because if you looking into the heart of rock the heart of stone God God is preparing hearts that he is working on to be softer to understand that I have made mistakes and I'm sorry I need to return back so reconciliation is happening he's he's raising altars of prayer where arguments once stood the arguments where we were arguing with each other we start praying for each other he's raising that he's restoring that families now the Lord is also saying at the same time he revives all the churches because we having this problem that there's so much confusion in churches that we need clarity and clarity is coming where confusion ruled before in churches where people were you know that there was this fog of understanding because they couldn't understand things clearly but the churches are being prepared for they are the bride of Christ if you go to Isaiah 30 verse 21 he says you your ears shall hear and a word behind you saying this is the way walk in it so many churches has been walking in ways that does not please God it all about motives and the motive is that as long as my stomach is full I don't care about who is not eating today but God is giving us direction the direction where to go to the direction where the revival in churches will happen because the prophetic voice is returning to purity and power the prophetic voice is directing us today in our churches he's restoring our first love the first way we loved him he's restoring now and you know what we sometimes have so much of a problem of direction in our churches that we hesitate on any direction and as you know from the previous message that I gave is that when you don't make a decision you already made a decision because a decision not made is a decision made already if I refuse to make a decision somebody else has made the decision for me already like I've made the example do you want to come with me and you don't answer I drive off by the time I come back but daddy I wanted to come with you but you have not answered so the way you didn't say anything you hesitate to say anything that hesitation has made me to make a decision for you God is bringing boldness back into his church God is bringing boldness back into his church where people are bold to say you are wrong people are not afraid of a man of God to tell him that what you are doing is wrong God is bringing boldness back he's bringing boldness back and purpose in our lives because we have a tendency of being too afraid to move he's giving us where we can say man of God you are wrong and because we are afraid that this man of God will chase us out of the house of God that we don't want to tell him that he's wrong God is bringing boldness back he's actually releasing a spirit of boldness he's releasing a spirit of faith do you know that even the Bible says in Jeremiah 1 verse 7 that do not say I'm youth I'm not too young to be moving into a direction as small as Aaron is he can still move in God's greatness you shall go to all to whom I sent you God is giving us a spirit of boldness because he said in Proverbs 28 that the righteous are as bold as a lion courage is our new language so we are so courageous that anytime whenever we move we are courageous to move into what God has called us to do and he has not called us to be just survivors but to stand strong he has called us not just to be survivors but to stand strong stand bold stand as a lion he said he has put his word in our mouth to speak to speak to this mountain and say mountain be thou removed he has given us a spirit of boldness I will never leave you nor will I forsake you so why would you feel like you cannot say this when God is with you because God is promising his presence every time he said where two or three are gathered in his name he will be there and not just that he will be there where two or three are gathered in his name he actually said I will never leave you nor forsake you according to Hebrews 13 verse 5 I will never leave you nor will I forsake you Matthew 28 verse 10 28 verse 20 where he says that lo I am with you always even to the end of the age so you are not walking alone God's presence will be with you everywhere you go his presence will not be just seasonally but it will be a permanent presence of God in your life even in the valley that you think that though I walk through the valley of shadow of death he will be there with you and his voice beside you saying peace be still peace be still the Lord commissioned these people and he says that you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to me according to Acts 1 verse 8 go therefore and make disciples of all nations according to Matthew 28 verse 19 so which means that he declared that the power is for purpose so our purpose is in power and he's sending you to speak hope to the hopeless light to the darkness life into dry bones it's like Ezekiel say to these dry bones be thy moved so the world will know me because you carry my voice the world will know me because you carry my voice and I leave you with this number six let's read numbers numbers verse six number six verse 24 and I would like us to read number six verse 24 number six verse 24 says the Lord bless thee and keep thee he says the Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace so I decree and declare that you are commissioned you are cleansed and you are called go in peace go in power go in purity the God who speaks is the God who sins the God who speaks is the God who sins now I would like you to understand that with all this that has been going on everything we have done is through the grace of God through the grace of God so he's given us power and power for his purpose heavenly father I come to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and I want to bring this message to you that you have given us today prophetically we should be going through all this knowing my God that you speak through our identities knowing my God that you restore the broken as well as rekindle the faith you break every chain and you provide you provide not just through normal provision but through healing and restoring of families reviving of churches and giving direction the directions that you give gives us the boldness and purpose in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I thank you for your presence that will always be with us and through the commission that you have given to us go here out there and make disciple of all nations in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior this I pray and if there is anybody today that says that I have not taken up the Lord as my Lord and Savior today I have never made the decision that I want to follow him this is an opportunity for you to step forward and say Lord Jesus I cannot be yours if I don't confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord I cannot be yours because according to the Isaiah 43 verse 1 you said that we are yours but I want to make the decision today to be yours if there is anyone today I don't want you to lift up your hands and see it but I want you to take the time and sit back and say to yourself am I doing this to be seen or am I doing this because I want to know God because most of the time whenever we get asked do you have the Lord as your Lord and Savior just because we are in church we think that we have him just because we are in church we think we have a relationship with him but because we are in church is even the more reason to start saying Lord I want you to be my Lord and Savior so I want that person to now look into their heart and say this prayer with me heavenly father I ask for forgiveness in the mighty name of Jesus I have sinned and I have made so many mistakes and through my mistakes I felt like a failure and therefore I come now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and I ask you for all the failures all the mistakes that I've made in the past I ask for forgiveness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior because I know Father God you said that there's no there's therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ so I pray Lord Jesus come in my life so that I can be in you Father God as you said you can only do what the Father does what you see the Father does so therefore I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior as we don't know you yet Father God let us be knowing you so that we can also do like you as our fathers does in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and I pray oh Lord that take away my sins this morning as far as the east is from the west so that I can stand purely before you because you said in your word that only the pure heart will see you so that we can see you clearly my God and as we have purified our hearts let our hearts not be full of rocks that we don't know and understand what you want from us Father God in the mighty name of Jesus with a pure heart we can see the direction that you have given to us so I pray now Father God as I am speaking to you you said that only those that confess you as Lord and Savior with their mouths and bow to their knees and confess that you are the King I come now and I confess that you are my Lord you are my Savior and therefore I give my heart to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ be pure in Jesus mighty name and if you have said this prayer and you feel it in your heart that you would like to have Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you would like to have a follow up please contact me or any other in the church so that they can give you the way forward in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior now may the grace rest and abide with us all until Jesus comes surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever in Jesus mighty name Amen and Amen
