God's Got This! | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr. | Radah Church (Sunday Rewind 05.07.23)

I come to thee, I need— how many you need him? Yo, I, I need thee. Hallelujah! Oh bless, oh bless, oh bless me now. I come, hallelujah, I come just as I am. I come standing in the need of a miracle. Yes, I come, don't know which way to go, but yes, I I come to you. I come to thee. Hallelujah, Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. I come to thee. If you need it— oh, y'all didn't do it. Clap your hands and say, I need you, Lord. Come on, shamanda. Come on, clap your hands if you need it. Come on, clap your hands like you need him, like you need him. Oh, King Jesus, amado Senhor. Yes, God. Thank you, God. Yes, Jesus. Father, we praise you today. For your great name among men. Thank you for another opportunity to share your word today, God. Anoint our ears to hear what the Spirit would say to the church. The song is apropos, God. You said we should worship you in songs, spiritual songs and hymns. God, the hymn is apropos. We need We can't live without you. And so, Father, we ask you to bless this word today. Do something man cannot do. Charge the atmosphere with your glory. God, let this word go out of the way that all limits would be broken. And God, we will move into the realm of impossibilities, and we give you praise for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Come on, clap your hands again and say, Lord, we need you. Come on, say it one more time. Lord, we need you. Hallelujah. You can be seated. Hallelujah. So glad to see so many of you in the house today. The Bible says, I was glad when they said unto me— somebody was glad to come to church this morning. I was so glad to get into the house of the Lord today. Glory to God. There was a word from the Lord. I'm not gonna, uh, hold you long today in my own strength. Lord do something else, that's on him, right? Glory to God. But my goal is to be as extemporaneous as possible, so we're going to share this, and I hopefully— I want you to get something today that you could take out of this building and use right away. Amen. Say right away. Right away. I think the word should be applied to our life, not just heard. James said we should be doers and not just hearers only. So that means we need to make application, glory to God, to the word of the Lord. Praise Jesus. And I always say that spiritual information without application is spiritual constipation. That means you're stuck. Yeah, y'all know what constipation is, right? Yeah, it means it's a strain and it's hard to get through. A lot of times when we don't apply the truths that we have, we make things hard. Amen. All right, I'm going to ask you just— and we're going to go to these verses in a few moments— but just put your hand in Job, the 11th chapter, and verse number 7. I'm going to look at two emphasis of scripture today just really closely. And Ephesians, uh, chapter number 3 and verse number 14. All right, so today I'm continuing a series I actually started on Thursday. If you missed the live I did Thursday night, I would admonish you to go back and watch it. Amen. We started teaching something God gave me, and I think it's appropriate for this season, and I just really believe that this is going to be a season where the limits are going to come off, and the things that you have felt limited in, the things that you have deemed impossible, you're about to move into the realm where nothing is impossible. Absolutely. And I call that the realm of impossibilities, where the manifestation of what you thought was impossible is going to start coming in your life. But you got to have these principles. And the Lord just start dealing with me about this, you know. We got to take the limits off, even piggybacking off our message to Dower Destiny. In order for destiny, which is very limitless— you cannot have destiny that comes from heaven if you limit it. So we got to talk about how to get the limits off. So we talked about, glory to God, Stepping up your faith on Thursday, and we discovered that there really is a realm of possibilities. There's a place where things can really be possible that you deemed impossible, but you got to step your faith up to receive those things. Touch yourself, say, I gotta step my faith up. Yeah, let me start with this. Let me, um, begin this teaching this deliberation, really, um, by saying this. One of the reasons we doubt ourselves so much— and here, stay with me— is that most of the time you've never seen yourself in action. You never got a real vision of what it looks like for you to be in action doing what you dreamed about doing. You never accepted what God said as really real. I need to say it. Say, what God said about me is real. Say this. Say, I am, I am what God says I am. Say, I can do, I can do what God says I can do. Said, there are no limits in my life. And reality is, you've got to really see what you just said. You got to see yourself breaking limits. All right, all right. You got to see yourself breaking through. You got to see yourself moving to another place. You've got to see yourself going higher. Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm telling you, I believe that this is the season for the child of God. And everything we've cried about, everything we've struggled with, I believe God is getting ready to cause it to come forth in our life where we can tangibly experience and handle it. Touch yourself. Say, this is my season. Say, I'm a child of God and my season has changed. Say, in this season I will not be limited. I'm inspired what you say. That's why I got you saying this stuff. Say it again. I won't be limited. I'm telling you, whatever it is God has promised, if you tap into the reality that there are no limits. I'm telling you, it's about to show up. Oh my God, today. Yeah, yeah, come on. See, you got to see yourself. Yeah, yeah, standing in the power of God. Yeah, doing what God called you to do. You got to see yourself— glory to God— uh, giving God glory with your life. Yeah, you got to see others being transformed by what you were created to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, listen. The vision of yourself is limited until you actually see what God designed for you and then paste that on your eyeballs. I'm saying again, you, you got to see what God sees and paste that on your eyeballs and don't look at what you see about you because we're limited because we believe what we believe about ourselves. And what others have told us, and we— that's our perception. Amen. But you know, there's some crazy things that were said about me growing up. People said I'd never be nothing, I never amount to anything. Told me I was just like other folk in my family and I was just gonna be like them. But something happened. I graduated from that definition that was spoken on my life, those words. Somebody said word curses. See, people can put curses over your life by speaking things that are totally ambiguous to who God says you are. Yeah, you are who God says you are. You got to get a revelation of that. Paste it to your eyeballs. God said you're healed. Put that on your eyeballs. I'm healed. God says you're rich, put that on your eyeballs. I'm rich. God says you're anointed, put that on your eyeballs. God says you're a doctor, a lawyer, dentist, an entrepreneur, whatever he said, put that on your eyeballs. Yes, Lord. And believe it. Part of the problem, as I introduce this, is that one our vision of ourself is extremely too low. Amen. It's mediocrity. You cannot expect to have a mediocre vision of yourself and produce great things. Amen. Can I submit to you today, you are more than meets the eye. You're more, glory to God, than what you thought you was. There's nothing mediocrity— mediocre about you. Mediocrity is something that people who don't know God walk in. Amen. Oh boy, it's just as easy to operate in a high quality of life me, as is the operating mediocrity. Watch this, both are choices. Amen. You can choose to be mediocre, or you can choose to move in excellence. You can choose to go up and above and exceed. Yes. Every thought you ever had in yourself. Yes, right. How do you do it? You first gotta realize— and I gotta lay this backdrop— is that we— hear me— are tripartite beings with 3 parts. We have body, right? We have soul, and we have spirit. Typically, what has happened, most people live from the outward in. They trust the flesh, they trust the soul. So let's break down these 3 parts. Your body is your bio's life. In simplest terms, biology is flesh. It's the mode of operation necessary to sustain life on Earth. Your body has to work for you to be alive on Earth. Amen. But the thing that makes it function is something you cannot see. The Bible says no good thing comes out of the flesh. So nothing good comes out of this body. Amen. Now, I know now when I was in sin, I think a whole lot of good things that happened to my body. Y'all not talking to me here. Oh, just look, y'all left heaven to come to church today. What's going on? Come on, come on. Okay, and your chariot's outside waiting to carry you back to glory. Listen, all of us understand that the body can give you some good things. That's right. But the reality is, all of even those things in your flesh are born— watch this— out of something you cannot see, which is your inner man. Body's your outer man. By your inner man is your soul. Your soul is psuche, or psychological life. So your soul is where your mind, your will to do, and your emotions lie. Your soul is where your ability to touch, your ability to taste, your ability to hear, your ability to see lies. Watch this. Your eyes is a piece of equipment that facilitates sight. You really can't see sight. Your eyes facilitate it because it comes from an invisible realm. Now watch this. What I see often is— here we go, and this is gonna make sense in a minute, y'all stay with me— it often is influenced by my innermost man, which is my third part, which is my spirit man. Now whether I am being— and you definitely can't see him, but watch this— the spirit So let me start here. Sex doesn't start in the body. Matter of fact, by the time you get into bed, it's almost over. Y'all ain't got to say that. Watch it. Quicker for some other folk than others. But listen, I need you to understand, y'all deaf, deafened or something? It's just true, right? I'm, I'm like this. Well, why am I going to go out there repenting and laying on the floor and, and crying and asking God to forgive me for one minute? No, we got to keep— we got to go a little farther than that. So that's how it was when I was a kid. I don't know how y'all— but I'm just telling you right now, it's quicker in the body for it because it didn't start there, right? It started with the spirit of fornication. Are y'all hearing this? That influence a thought in your soul. All right. And you started entertaining the thought in your soul and it manifested in your body. So your innermost man has influences. Either it is influenced by an excellent spirit, the Holy Spirit, or it's influenced by mediocrity or evil spirit. One of the— on those sides there are two things: excellence and holiness. On the other side is evil and mediocrity. Those two things operate through your spirit, man, and they come into your soul. You have to decide how it comes out of your body. So if I manifest something in excellence, in power, in authority, and I build something great in my life and I align myself with God's plan, it doesn't happen because I decided it in my soul or my body happens because I yielded my spirit and became strengthened in my inner man. So in order to take the limits off, you have to start living from a realm that's unlimited. Okay, all right, y'all, y'all, y'all want me— okay, listen, You, you gotta live from a dimension that is greater than you. Yeah, that is limitless, that takes your ability— oh my God— and gives you super ability. And watch this, the more you yield to that dimension, the more super you become in your natural. Yes. See, if you want to see the supernatural, you got to yield to the supernatural dimension. Yeah, absolutely. Your innermost man. Oh boy, let's go. Okay, all right, so limitations— go to Ephesians 3, let's look at it. We're going to start in verse 14. Limitations begin— watch this— with weakness in this innermost man. When your spirit man is weak Limits are imposed. That's why I don't judge how strong people are spiritually by how well they speak, by how many people follow them, by gifts. I judge spiritual maturity by submission to the invisible realm. And the manifestation of fruit on your life from that realm. See, we can learn, have learned behavior. You realize you can sit in the prophetic culture and become a prophet just because you're there. You catch the culture and you learn how to manipulate the presence. When you come in, then you start flowing. Glory be to God. Listen, you have to learn to submit your life totally to this realm. So that everything you do manifests in strength. Watch this, Ephesians 3, y'all got it? It says, for this reason I bow my knees before the Father in heaven. So wait a minute, so that's, that's first of all, that's humility. So in order for me to take the limits off, I've got to embrace humility that leads to honor to my Father, which I can't see, who's in heaven. So I gotta know that I could trust him over my flesh, over my brain. Touch yourself. So I can trust him over my flesh, over my flesh, over your intellect, over my intellect. You got to believe that because life is going to challenge you to trust what you know over what he knows. This is why the apostle, who's a master strategist, who's a man— Apostle Paul, who's a master at living without limits— he says it's important to humble yourself before your Father who's in another world. God is not of this world. He made it, but he resides in heaven. So I bow before him because I understand I can't do nothing without him. So that's the next piece. I gotta humble myself and honor him, but I've got to also pay homage to the fact that I can't do nothing without God. Yes. Oh God, I dare you shout that. Say, I can't do nothing without the Lord. You, you gotta believe that you are helpless without him. Amen. Now, now, granted, you can accomplish some things in your own intellect, in your own life, through the sweat of your brow, through hard work, through creativity, without the Lord. But watch this, there's no guarantee that will stand, right? The Bible says in Proverbs 19:21, it says, many of the plans of the man's soul, his heart But it's the Lord's purpose that stands forever. So it's the purpose of the Lord that stands forever. That's gonna last. Yeah, right. So it will behoove me as a child of God, if I want to do this thing without limitations, to acknowledge the fact that I can't do it without God. Yeah, that's right. And when you get a real revelation of God, the vision of yourself increases. He says, and on earth his name. He said that according to the riches of his glory, he may grant you to be strengthened with power. Somebody say power. The word power there is exousia in Greek. It means authority. So God says, I want you to have authority. Here we go. In your inner man, or your innermost being. So God said, in your spirit, I want you to have authority over your soul, over the thoughts of your mind, over your intellect, over— watch this— the bad word curses that was spoke over your life. He said, I want you to be strengthened in your inner man, and when you get strengthened in there, ain't nothing out here to stop you. Oh God, have mercy. Let me tell you how important it is when you get strength inside of you. Yeah, yeah. There's no external force that can stop you from doing what God has planned for your life. All right, all right. See, we, we watch this. People will— we'll— I do it. We'll go to the gym and try to get our body fit, which is great, because again, your body needs to be healthy so you can carry a supernatural call in there. So you have to watch what you put in You gotta have— you gotta have some fitness about you. You gotta move every day. Glory to God. So that you can be here to do the living this purpose. Yeah, the one. So, but we'll get so dedicated to getting our body right and get strong in our body and won't get strong on the inner man and won't get strong in faith so we can give glory to God with our life. Just like you exercise and work to get your body in shape, you got to work and exercise to get your spirit in shape. Body of Christ is full of people who are spiritually out of shape. They're limited. Know when your body's out of shape? When I first went back in the gym, I got— I have Apple Fitness, so I work out with these people on Apple Fitness. So before I stopped going, there was people I worked out with on the app. I got so good, I was wearing them out. And then tell you, you're at the front of the pack, you know, that's how the app— because everybody else be working. I'd be working out, man, going in. But when I stopped and went back, I tried to work out with the same people. I was at the back of the pack. I was limited. I was breathing hard. I had to stop, take breaks. Because I had not been consistent in building my stamina and my endurance. You got to become consistent in building your stamina and endurance in the spirit. That's why you need to work. That's why you need to worship. Yeah, that's why every opportunity you get, you need to be praying. Yeah, because these are the things that exercise your spiritual muscles. Oh, help us, Lord Jesus. Okay, let's go. So basically, when I'm fit and have my senses exercised— that's what the Bible called it. I said bodily exercise, probably look, but godliness with contentment is great gain. So you got to have your spirit exercised so you are content with where you are spiritually. Here's the question: are you honestly content with where you are spiritually? And if you're not— see, I'm not content with where I am physically. I'm, I'm never going to be content with where I am spiritually because I want to consistently grow and get better and go deeper and know more and become more limitless. So I asked a question, but you really shouldn't answer it because you shouldn't be satisfied. You should continue to exercise your spirit man and get him ready for whatever God throws at you. Yeah, because you can't live in the realm where the impossible manifests for you when your vision of God and yourself It's too low. I was thinking about this last night and I said, God, people don't understand you. Because I watch what people do, I read what people say, and I'm like, they don't have an understanding. The Bible said, in all your getting, get an understanding. So I'm sitting there thinking, my Lord, how do we address this? How do we fix it? He said there has to be a paradigm shift in vision. It has to be a shift in perspective on how we view God. First of all, God is real. Yeah, he's not a religious person that we created that we can have gatherings around and say he's somewhere invisible. No, God is real. And God is so imminent and transcendent that he wants to get involved with us. So first thing, he's real. Second thing, he wants involvement in our life. Third thing, he won't get involved if you don't allow him. Amen. He said this so clearly to me. He said, son, prayer and worship That's why I tarry in worship today, to push us to a place where we really was— I want us to get uncomfortable. Even the first lady here, I was going to tarry. She, she— I know she's going to be late anyway, but God already told me to tarry in worship. The reality is we got to get comfortable lingering in the presence. We got to get comfortable waiting for God to do whatever he wants to do. God wants to engage us. He can't do that if we reject opportunities. Amen. God says, let me engage, because this is what he said to me clearly: worship and prayer is your earthly license for heavenly engagement. He said, I'm not going to engage with you if you don't worship and if you don't pray. He said, by you worshiping, by you praying, it lets me know you want me there. Amen. But I'll never come where I'm not invited. Yeah, amen. God is not going to just show up because you think he ought to be there. Well, you better know that. Matter of fact, you will be praying to God in hollering and screaming. But if you pray without faith and without worship and honor to God, you know what's happening? God is in heaven like this. You just going in, and Lord, come in, do it! Ah, no faith, no spirit. God's like, okay. But the moment faith kicks in, God goes, huh? And worship, he turns around, said, I like that. And says, yeah, because watch this, Hebrews 11:6, without faith you can't please him. Yeah, come on, I know that. So as long as you just pray, watch this, God ain't even interested in our emotions. Oh, you come to God crying. That cry better have some faith, right? Because if that cry— yeah, Jesus, please help me, God— but if that cry don't have no faith, he's just waiting on you to cry until you get some faith. All right, all right, all right, all right. Because that's what moves heaven. Yeah, he wants to engage us. We got to raise our vision of this God that we serve. Listen, God is— we talk about this word omnipotent, but I think we use it very lightly and don't understand what it is. It means that he has all power, and from his omnipotence, he have put in our belly potence. Potence is potential. It's what's possible. So God is omnipotent. He's all-powerful. He is more powerful than any entity. There's nothing that can stop God. I've got to give you the name of this message, Part 2. Just look at somebody and say, God's got this. You, you've got to understand that no matter what it looks like, God got it. Amen. God's got your back. He's gonna cover it because in his omnipotence, there's nothing that can stop him. And guess what? When you understand that, you never lose. Yeah, I think you shot that. Say, I never lose. Come on, say, I always win. Listen, listen, let me tell you something. If I go to play a pickup basketball game, glory to God, now my sons Michael Jr., Ben, Alex, all three of these dudes. Tyler don't talk trash. Them three talk trash. I taught all three of them how to play, but they talk trash. So every time a 14-year-old was with me, Dad, let's go to the gym, I got you now. They've been trying to beat me all their life. Well, Ben, one-on-one, now can beat me. I mean, I ain't young as I used to be. Junior He was beating me, but now he way out of shape. 26, way out of shape. So I done figured out how to beat him again. But here's the thing, them three have challenged me, get any three you got there and we gonna beat you. So I'm gonna show up at the gym not with people that's equal to them. I'm going to the gym with people I know can outplay them, right? And I know no matter how bad I'm playing as a whole man, these two jugglers on my team are going to ensure that I win. All right, all right. When you got God on your team, yeah, it's a guaranteed victory every time you show up to the fight. It's a guaranteed W. Look, just say, touch yourself and say, I always win. Say, I never lose. Just think about it. You running 3-on-3 against anybody, you got LeBron James and Steph Curry and you. It don't matter whether you ever touch the basketball. That's right. All you understand, you just get it to one of them. If you could just get the ball to LeBron or Steph, no matter who's on the other side, that's your equal. That's right, you're gonna win. I want y'all to see this in spirit. Jesus on your team, you just got to get the problem to him. That's right, come on now. If you can engage him enough, his omnipotence to align with your potence, yes, it makes you omnipotent too. All right, all right, all right, all right. You always have. Not only is omnipotent, he's omniscient. Which means he has all knowledge. He knows everything. Amen. There is nothing God doesn't know. Say it with me, say, God's got this. So no matter what you're facing, come on now, you have the knowledge of God. Yes, yes, at your disposal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I say sometimes, sometimes some folk can just be dumb. Why is he so dumb? You say you saved, right? You must spend no time with the God that know everything. All right. I remember when my oldest boy was in school, he preached his first sermon when he was in our Jackson church when he was like 8 or 9. And so as he got older, he lost interest in ministry, but just listened to his friends preach. But at the end of the day, I used to tell him, son, there's no way you should perform poorly in the classroom. You're saved. You have God on your side. When he started applying what I was telling him and believing that no matter what test he took, believing no matter what course he took, he was going to pass with flying colors, his grades went— and he got a scholarship to college. Because he understood God was with him. Listen, when God is with you, you got his knowledge. No matter what you think you don't know, guess what? He know it. There's a lot of stuff I go to do, I don't know. Some things I do in business, I never went to a class to do it. God anointed my mind to do it. All right. Oh God, come on, come on. Because he's omniscient. Yeah, say omniscience. Wait a minute, he's also omnipresent, which means he's everywhere at the same time, coexisting with the same authority, same power. Yeah, so that means he can be over here at Kierra's house. Hallelujah, working on her behalf. And he can also be at Tawanda's house working on Tawanda's behalf. Don't slight Tawanda, don't slight Kiera. He can always go to, go to Ashley's house at the same time, right? He can be in this room while we're having church, and he could be over there in that other room where Michael Stapley, them are having church, and exist with the same power, same authority at the same time. Yes, Lord. Everywhere. Oh yes. Hallelujah. That means no matter where you go, you got access to it. Yes. There. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Job 11:7, go there real quick. Y'all getting anything out of this? Yeah, I'm almost done. The Bible said, can't you discover the depths of God? This question— can you discover the limits of the Almighty? Answer to both of those questions is no, because he's so limitless. That's why the Bible said we'll be ever learning and coming into knowledge of truth. Guess what? Prophecy ain't going to heaven. Uh-oh. Guess what? Gifts of the Spirit are not going to be in heaven. Evangelism won't— we won't be able to win souls in heaven. But what we will be doing in heaven is learning. That's the one thing we're taking to heaven with us, learning and worship. You'll be worshiping God and learning more about him because he's endless, he's infinite. So we can't discuss that. And Job was in a pickle, man. And so he proposed a question. His friends were telling him, curse God and die. You're like, you don't understand why God's got me in this. I don't know the limits of God. I don't want to tempt God. I don't know what he's doing. Well, to make a long story short, if you read the end of Job's book, the Bible said at the end of his trial, God gave Job twice as much. He lost everything, but God restored it twice as much. All right, all right. Twice as much sons, twice as much. Don't— I just feel that in my spirit. Somebody in the shot, I'm about to get twice as much. Look at somebody, somebody in here today or somebody watching. You've been through hell, you've been through hot water, you've been through storm, you've been through the rain, you've almost died, you almost lost your mind. But God told me to tell you You're getting ready to get twice as much. You're gonna get double for your trouble. Look, you know the Bible says in Isaiah that, oh my God, for your shame you shall receive double. I got somebody shout double, double, double! Well, y'all ain't shouting like you're about to receive that. I'll shout it double, double! No more limits. Yeah, yeah, God's about to give you— I'm coming to a close— double for your trouble. Yeah, yeah, come on, come on. People who live in the realm of no limits, they rewrite the script. No matter what life looks like, they start rewriting script. Okay, this look bad right here, but I'm gonna rewrite this script because there's no limits in my life. Some of you have accepted the circumstance, and God says rewrite the script because you're not limited to what your circumstances say. Let me tell you something, you're not limited to your gender. Women, you're not limited. Come on, women, you're not limited to your gender. Whatever God has planned for you as a woman, you can do it. You're not limited to your skin color. Yeah, come on. You're not limited to your socioeconomic background, how you were raised, what your mama had, what, what's your daddy had, even if you didn't have parents. You're not limited to that when you tap into God's place of impossibilities. So something— I'm not limited. You said I'm getting ready to write this, rewrite the script. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, Lord. People, it's just a few facts about people. We're gonna get out of here. Thank you. People who live in this realm, when you live in the realm of no limits, you don't allow your comfort zone to be a place of consistency. I'll say that again. When you live without limits, your comfort zone It's not a place of consistency. Matter of fact, what you do with your comfort zone, you step out of the zone and step on it. Well, at the side, I'm never going back in that again because you have no limit. You're not limited to your comfort zone, what your ability says you can accomplish. You realize God will give you jobs you have not trained for. Amen. He'll give you businesses, glory to the name of God, that you have no idea how to run. I'm a witness, he'll do it. But you can't allow your comfort zone to keep you limited. I dare you, shout it, no more limits! You got to make up your mind, I'm gonna rewrite the script, I'm gonna get out the comfort zone. Yes, Lord! And I'm gonna walk in faith because people who live without limits are people who have great faith. Yes. Oh boy, you gotta be able to trust what you can't see. Absolutely. I've told y'all before, faith is pistos in Greek. It means to leave what you can see for what you cannot see. Yes, God. To leave flesh out of man for spirit man. I can't see the spirit man. I can't see his operation. So I'm gonna leave what I can see for a God I ain't never seen, for heaven I ain't never walked on. Oh God, Jesus, for promises that are written in a book. Yeah. Oh yeah, I can see my degree, God. I know what I can do with that. But watch this, when you move in faith, degree or no degree, you're like, I gotta do what God tells me. To. Yes. And I know I'm going to have good success because I'm moving in faith. All right, all right. Let me tell you what that looks like. Leave what you can see for what you cannot see looks like. So let's say this speaker is what I see, right? Right. God says leave the speaker Your blessing is inside of that wall. So now what I got to do in faith is get totally immersed in faith so I can get the blessing. How do I do that? I totally walk away from the speaker, but watch this, I jump into the wall believing that the hole is already there. Watch this. And then I become interpenetrated with the wall so that I and the wall look like we're one. That's faith when I can't tell the difference between you and what God said, because you jump into it totally immersed. Yeah, not looking back at what makes you comfortable. 'Cause you can see it, you can touch it, but I'm gonna jump into my healing and get totally immersed in it, and I'm gonna start walking like I'm healed. I'm gonna get one with this wall and start acting like I'm rich, like I'm a billionaire. I'm gonna start talking like what God says I am. Yes, yes. And not just one speaker that I can handle. I gotta leave and jump in that wall. Don't see the hole, but faith says it's there. Okay, how many want to take that kind of risk? God says jump in the wall, you jump in the wall. You got to do it by faith, not counting up what you have. Right, right. But counting what he has. Listen, oh, this is a good one. Write this one down. People who live in the realm of no limits— watch this, hear me— they do not allow others to tell them what they can and cannot do. They do not allow other people to impose limitations on them. That's why you can't talk to everybody about your dream, because there are some folk that gonna look at you and say, you crazy, you can't do that, you ain't waiting, how you gonna pay for that, you ain't got no money, how much that cost? Well, I ain't worried about how much it costs because I'm doing this for God and I'm doing it by faith. See, most of the time faith doesn't make sense to common sense, and there is no common sense when it comes down to faith. It's only spiritual sense. It only makes sense in the spirit. And you know, old mothers used to say, well, you know, I used to hear old people say, well, God give you common sense. Yeah, he does for natural things. There's no such thing as common sense in the realm of the spirit. His thoughts are not your thoughts. His ways are not your ways. So you got to learn to put your common sense aside and trust God, because you will always be stuck in this speaker. And you got an array of speakers in the wall. You got a whole manufacturing company that's making speakers in the wall, and you're trying to hold on to the one you could see. Oh boy, quiet. I'm almost done. So you gotta stop letting people tell you what you can and can't do. And it's a red flag that when you start talking to somebody and they question God's potential in you, well, that's a red flag. You need to get away from them. Amen. Because at the end of the day, you got to know what you know about what God said about you. And I'm telling you today, there are no limits to what God says. If he said it, you can do it. So watch this. You have potential. Say, I have potential. So I was born with it. I came to earth with it. Now watch this. It's good you understand you have it, but people who live with no limits understand this principle: having potential is good, but keeping it is bad. Amen. See, you can have it and keep it, not share it, not move, not take action. Have great ability and never go do nothing. A lot of dreams, a lot of talking, never start anything. I'm crazy enough, if God tells me he's going to give us a great church in Atlanta, I'm going to start it with no people. If he tells me he's going to give us a great church in Jackson, Mississippi, I started with no people. A great church in the DMV, we started with no people. Because at the end of the day, having potential to do it is good, but keeping it is bad. And fear will rob you from actualizing and maximizing your potential. Potential is dormant ability. It's ability in you that's just laying there until you activate. Oh, brother Billis, I gotta activate this potential. Say, I'm about to do great things. He said, because God's got this. Ephesians 3:20, let's read. The Bible says, now to him who by and in consequence of the action of his power that is at work within us— so his power, we talked, we read that earlier in verses Ephesians 4:14-17, that the power is in us now unto him. So his ability is what makes us limitless. Y'all got that? Say, God makes me limitless. Say, God makes me limitless. Say, God's got this. Say, I'm not alone, he's with me. He says, oh my God, who by inconsequent— I'm reading Amplified Bible— the action of his power that is at work within us. Listen to this: he is able to carry out his purpose and do superabundantly, far over and beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Watch this. God's ability is so limitless He could do far more than you can pray for. The scripture is telling you your mind don't even work big enough to pray for something God can't do. He could do far above what you could think. You know, the Lord said to me one time years ago, he said, your problem is you think too much. I guess I'm supposed to be thinking, right? He said, no, you're not supposed to analyze before you believe. He said, I can do far above what you can think. You're thinking about what I'm telling you to do, and then you're thinking about how you're going to do it. And he said, I can do way above that. Well enough to go far beyond God. No matter how intelligent we are, he's bigger. Say bigger. Bigger. Bigger. Bigger. Oh, I'm almost done. He says, to him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ throughout all generations forever. So here's what I love: when we embrace this, it creates continuity. We pass it on to other generations. We leave a legacy to our children of living without limits. If we live with limits, our children are going to duplicate the culture we teach them. But if we teach our children and live as an example before them that you can live without limits, that whatever you desire in God, he can provide The Bible said to him be glory forever and ever. So everything that we touch, we leave a legacy of no limits. Say, I have no limits. Say, God's got this. Uh, go to 1 Peter 1— I'm sorry, 2 Peter 1, verses 3 and 4. I'm closing with this. Hallelujah. Woo! Am I boring y'all? Y'all getting anything out of this? I hope so, because God wants you to live without limits. Hallelujah. 2 Peter 1:3-4, it says, for his divine power— now that word is different than exousia— his divine power is kratos, which means his supernatural abilities. So God's supernatural ability— watch this— has bestowed upon us all things that are requisite and suited to life. And so God says, through his power, through his ability— so you lean on your own ability and not God's power. A lot of times you have lack, but God says I'll give you all things that pertain to life and godliness through his power. Yeah, because you can't do it in your flesh. Well, some people take life for granted and take God— I'm gonna tell you again, God is real. And if you you tap into him, he'll introduce himself to you for real, and he'll show you everything that he has provided for you. I, I'm thankful. I'm thankful to God that everything I need for life and godliness, I know I have. You have it. You just gotta trust that. You should never lack one thing in your life. Lack is a result of living. Or limited living because you don't trust the unlimited power and ability, the kratos of God, to govern your life. So I got all things, I got everything I need. And I'm convinced I get it. Some people will never get it because they won't open themselves up. To receive it. It's bigger than what you ever thought about. Your mind, I just told you, can't think that high. It's a spiritual thing. He says, watch this, suited to life in God through the— watch this— full— this is Amplified Bible— personal knowledge of him who called us by and to his own glory. There it is. And excellence, his virtue. By means of these, he has bestowed upon us great and precious promises, so that through them— here it is— you may escape this outer man, the moral decay and corruption that is in this world and your flesh, because of covetousness, lust, greed, Watch this. And become partakers of his divine nature. So through his power, he has bestowed upon us everything that pertains to life and God. So I got everything I need to live, I got everything I need to be Godly, right? When I accept God, open up to him. He says this comes through full knowledge and personal relationship with him. So again, that's why you gotta cultivate prayer, cultivate worship, not just in church, at home. You got to cultivate fasting, you got to cultivate studying the word so that you can gain knowledge of him. Because watch this, the more you walk with him, the more you become like him, the more you have access to his stuff. Oh my God. He says you got everything you need, and not only that, you are partakers of my divine nature. Okay, let's— we talked about nature of God a little bit, right? He's omniscient, so you partakers with his omniscience. You partakers with his omnipotence. You're partakers of his omnipresence. Well, I ain't gonna even go there, but if you get up in God enough, you could be omnipresent just like him. I used to say, God, I can't be in 3 places at one time. I can't be 4 places at one time. God said, if you get in me enough, you can. That's, that's, that's— I know that's, that's, that's for grown folk, but the reality is, if you tap in enough, you could take on his nature and you can move like God, do what God does. And when people see you, guess what they see? God. He said we're partakers of that divine nature, so we ought to be walking in power. Wait a minute, you can't tell me you got the divine nature of God and you mean as a rattlesnake. God is love. How you telling me you love God but you mean? I'm talking about just mean and viperous. God said, I want you to take on my divine nature, so get that mean stuff out of Oh God. And listen, the laborer is first partaker of the fruit. I had to look at my life and say, God, where am I not down there? Do I have this stuff in me that needs to come out of me? Because I want to walk in your divine nature. See, you can't be afraid to look at yourself. And when the word finds you, you got to accept, okay God, maybe I was a little too mean right there. Wait, maybe I need to get myself together and not have these triggers that, you know, does it make me go off So you got to be able to accept your shortcomings. Are y'all hearing me? Because the nature of God is perfect, and God says you can have that nature. I can have that nature. Guess what? You gotta want it though. Amen. Amen. Say it together, say I'm partakers of divine nature. You got choice. You can be partakers of divine nature or partakers of the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, pride of life. You can be partakers of those things in the world, or you can choose to be partakers of a divine nature. Say, God's got this. God's got our Don't go to it. But then, by the Amalekites— say Amalekites. The Amalekites were giants, and they came in his camp. He took the men out, left the women and children. First mistake. A man's job is to cover his family. He's the priest, the provider, prophet, and bishop, governor, king of his home. If you get a man that can't be all three, and think just because you got him, he gonna become all three, you playing Russian roulette. It may or may not happen. You better make sure you got him before you get it. I know some people think, okay, I'm gonna transform this joker. He better be walking in it before you say I do. Because some, some women will opt for provider and forfeit prophet and priest. But you got to decide, I don't care how much you can provide Can you be a priest for me in my house? Can you take the family to God and talk to him about the family and then come back in the house and prophesy what God says when you went to God? All right, all right. Because if he can only provide and can't do that— yeah, yeah, come on. Yeah, and he ain't got to be a priest to do that. I mean, a prophet in office to do that. He just got to be saved to the man that love God, that wants to cover his family. Yeah, why? I ain't saying you gotta go ahead and get a bishop or prophet. That might be the wrong thing if you ain't called, man. Be married to a preacher— talk to my wife— you need to be called. You need a grace. People be thinking they want to be married to the preacher. It's a grace. Glory to God. Yeah, it's— yeah, it's grace. It's just— it's something totally different. And if your life ain't set up right, Gloria, you leave that alone. But at the end of the day, you want who God has for you, and you want to make sure they love God enough. If that joker ain't praying when you meet him, that's a red flag right there. If you tell him, let's pray together, and he can't pray, and you said, lead the prayer, or y'all go to dinner and he don't pray over the food That's, that's his problem. Yeah, it says something about his ability to be three-dimensional in your life as a husband. I don't know why I went down that rabbit trail, but listen, say, God's got this. Yeah, he does, he does. David took the men out of the camp, went to do something. That was unnecessary. The Amalekites came, the giants, this army of giants who was scavenging through Israel, working on these tribes. They show up and take the women and children captive. The Bible says that when David got back to the camp, the men began to weep. The scripture said they wept until they had no more power to weep. So much so the Bible said they spake of stoning David. The Bible said David said, bring me hither the ephod, the prayer garment. He said, I gotta go talk to God because these dudes want to kill me because their wives and children are gone. David understood that though his men were turning against him The only way he could defeat this issue was to get an answer from God. He didn't cry, he didn't run, he didn't get emotional. He went in prayer. The Bible said when he went in prayer, God spoke to him and said, without fail, you shall recover all. Bob said David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. I need you to understand something. They went in the Amalekites' camp. Mercy, Jesus. And the Bible declares that they took back the women, the children, but they also took a thousand times more than they lost in spoil because there was no limit. And watch this, the Amalekites were 135,000 strong. Oh God, help us. David and his few men were 400 strong, but God took 400— got— oh my God, got the women and children back. And somebody say, recover all. I don't know who this is for, but God told me to tell you, you're going to recover all more. You're going to recover every single thing and more because there's no limits to what God can give back to you. I'll tell you, shout up, getting it all back. Oh, somebody ought to praise him right there because you're about to get it all back. I think you praise him because it's coming back. It's about to come. Come on, praise him because you're going to recover. Oh, not some of it, not just a little bit, but you going to recover it all. Amen. Now watch this. The Bible says that they wept until they had no more power to weep. Out of this same text, David wrote the Psalm, Psalm 30, that said, weeping may endure for a night, hallelujah, but joy comes in the morning. They— listen, that's the same experience when he wrote Psalm 35, because they were weeping, they were crying, but that That morning they got joy. Watch what joy is. Chayah, C-H-A-Y-A-H, in Hebrew it means, oh my God, profit is coming in the morning. P-R-O-F-I-T. Ask a businessman to define profit. He'll tell you that that is left over, Lord Jesus, after the expenses have been paid and covered. I don't know about you, but I thank God for profit. I don't know what you've been through and what the devil has took from you. But God said you're about to get some profit out of all that hurt, out of all that brokenness, out of all that pain, out of all that struggle, out of all that heartache. You're about to get joyfully-yam. I know you clap your hands and bless him. Come on, come on, I got to get out of here. Another word picture. Let me just show you another word picture. Yeah, yeah, there's a guy named Gideon. David, who also had a problem with the Amalekites. These Amalekites are giants. G-I-A-N-T-S. Giant. Average height, 13 feet tall. These giants were 135,000 strong. God said, Gideon, I want to show you that in me there are no limits. Oh my God, he's getting with him and said, okay, I got 22,000. God said to Gideon, still not enough. Glory to God. He said, that's still not enough. He said, go back and wean them out again. Gideon went and weaned them out again. He had 10,000. He went back to God. God said, holy, holy, He said, still not enough. I'm just getting at this, brother. They got 135,000. I got a strategy with these 22, these 10. God is telling me it's still not enough. God sent him back. He broke it all the way down to 1,000. He went back to God, said, I got 1,000 men. I got a good strategy with these 1,000. God said, still too many. He went, he got— gave him a shirt, said, them that'll bow down and worship, to never be humble and lap in the pool like dogs, them that will humbly bow before me. He said, those are the ones that you will take with you to defeat the Amalekites. He came back, it was only 300. God took 300 men and defeated 135,000 so Gideon could get no glory. Often God will diminish your assets so he can get the glory out of your life. Come on now. Often God will shake things up and restructure things so he can get the glory out of your life. Everybody stand. I just want to tell you one thing today: God's got it. No matter what it looks like, God's got it. No matter how you feel, with God you always win. You never lose. Say it again. Stay with God. I always win. Joyfully-yam. You're about to leave the realm of limits. Just close your eyes for a moment, because when you close your eyes, you have a tendency to look in. You can play softly because it's not— you're about to leave the realm of limits. And you're about to enter into a new realm of living called no limits, where the things that were once impossible shall now be possible. Yeah, God, I'll do that. Shabat, they're talking about it. Genesis 1:28 says that we should be fruitful, multiply, subdue, replenish, and have dominion. Dominion. This is the Dominion Mandate. The word Rada means dominion and authority.
