Pastor Kelley Steele | Entangled with God | Untangled Conference 2023

I believe some of you have put yourself down because you feel bad. You've asked God, are you here? No. That just shows you're still interested in him. That shows you're still wild about Jesus because you're like God. I'm needing you right now. Are you even in the room? And he says, yes, I am. You'll feel defeated, but you are not defeated. You are a conqueror. You are one who wins the battle. You've already won the battle. You overthrow the devil. You've got Jesus Christ, the one with the almighty power living in, breathing on the inside of you.

There is nothing that you cannot do.

When you understand this wilderness is not my residence. This wilderness is not going to keep me down.

It's not going to hold me back.

I'm going to give you glory even in the wilderness.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Come on, give Jesus praise in this place. Come on, women of God, give God glory.

He's worthy. He's worthy. He's worthy. God is so good. I'm so glad to be with you on this beautiful afternoon. Let's give it up for the best pastor on the East Coast, west coast, all the coast, Pastor Hope Carpenter.

Come on. If she's your woman of God, give her honor.

Oh, we could do better than that, ladies. Give her honor. We love you so much. It's rare to find genuine, authentic women of God that will fight for you, fight for the marriage, fight for the family, fight for the kingdom. And I thank God for Pastor Hope, and I'm honored to have the privilege to be before you today all the great speakers. Let's give them all a hand here. It's been so amazing. I'm so excited to be with y' all today. Are you excited? God is good. So. Ooh, I'm shiny, sparkly. Do you like my skirt? It's from Macy's. Just go get it. Hey, listen, I just want. If you don't know who I am, I'm Pastor Kelly Steele from Phoenix, Arizona. All right. Yes, I'm Hope Carpenter's best friend, and yes, that's my title. And I just want to show you really quickly my family, if they have that picture available for you. My family. That's my family, y'. All. There's a reason why I'm showing you this picture. Those are my five kids. I had five kids in six years, 11 months and 16 days after I got married at 18. They're my granddaughters, my twin granddaughters, and Layla and Jay. Aren't they so cute? And my handsome hubby in the middle. So that's the Steel family. Give them a hand. Praise. I just want to show you that because you're looking at a family that's completely entangled in Jesus. And the reason why I'm talking about that is because it correlates with my message, what I'm going to preach to you today. So are y' all ready for the Word? Ah, let's get into it. Untangled. Genesis 29:31. The word of the Lord says, when the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive. But Rachel remained childless. Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben. For she said, it is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now. Then she conceived again. And when she gave birth to a son, she said, because the Lord has heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one, too. So she named him simeon. Verse 34. Again she conceived. And when she gave birth to a son, she said, now at last my husband will become attached to me because I've borne him three sons. His name was Levi. And verse 35 said, she conceived again. And when she gave birth to a son, she said, this time I will praise the Lord. So she named him Judah. And then she stopped having children. I'm talking to you today about untangling relationships. Tell your neighbor it's time to untangle some relationships. Tell your other neighbor it's time to get untangled. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you, Lord, for this day. I thank you for this event, God, that you have put on Pastor Hope's heart to bring us all together, Lord God, to learn of you, to hear of you, to be free. Because, God, you set us free. Jesus. I thank you, Lord, that every word that's been spoken over this podium has been powerfully sent. And God able to correct us and shape us and change us and mold us into becoming more like you. God, I ask right now that our ears are open, our hearts are ready to receive the word of God, and we will forever give you praise and glory. In Jesus name, we all agree and say Amen. How many of you here are glad that you are tangled no more? Amen. Let me hear you. You are glad. I love the theme of this conference. I prayed about what I was going to preach about, and I thank God that God always is speaking and, you know, telling us what direction to go. And I. I'm. I'm really. I really feel. I know God told me to preach this number one, right? And I also think that this is gonna be eye opening for a lot of us here. I don't have any props. I'm sorry. I'm the only prop. Praise the Lord. And I think I'm big enough to do. Amen. So the word of God tells us that Leah was in an entangled relationship.

Leah.

We're introduced to her as an unattractive, unwanted older sister wheeled into a marriage on a deal so her younger, beautiful sister could get married. You all know the story, right? She was automatically placed in a relationship where strings were attached. She was first in birth order, but not first in the heart of her husband. She was forced into a relationship where, again, strings were attached. Anybody been in a relationship where strings were attached? Are you gonna be honest in here today? Listen, I know you are. If you're under Pastor Hope. When strings are attached, that means that there are unpleasant conditions and there's preexisting conditions that exist before the offer is accepted. It's arrangement. It was an arrangement. She got married based on an arrangement. She wasn't really wanted, but she was part of the deal. And I feel like I relate to Leah because I got married part of an arrangement. Praise the Lord. I've been married 30 years. One man. Praise God. I just turned 50 this year. Hallelujah. I've been with the same guy since high school, Reginald Steele. He wasn't pastor then. I knew him as Reggie. Praise the Lord. And I relate to Leah because I got married at 18 because I was pregnant. It wasn't because of love, although I love that man. But I knew he didn't love me. Oh, hallelujah. Don't get shy on me now. He obviously liked me. I got pregnant, but neither one of us were ready for marriage. I wasn't ready for marriage. I was only 18. But girls, you know, when you're in love, you don't care. And you do whatever you can to get that man. And I was so excited that I was gonna be his wife. I thought marriage was gonna change him. Then I thought the baby was going to change him. But then you realize that nothing can change someone who doesn't want to be changed. My marriage was a marriage with strings attached. I married a man who told me, I will never be faithful to you. I married a man who told me, I will always have a team of women. You'll just be my starter. I was married to a man that said, listen, I'm going to smoke weed, stay black and die. Amen. Church was not on our radar. We had no sense of going to church. Although he was a man of God, didn't know it yet. He was running from his call and I was chasing after him. I was in a relationship of convenience. Who wants this pastor's son to be with their pregnant daughter in law and not married, right? So I realized that I'm in a relationship like Leah. She's taken but not loved. I was married but not loved. She had a situation where it needed to get fixed to help somebody else. I was in a situation that needed to get fixed. And when I think about getting entangled, I remember who I was when I was that 18 year old girl walking down the aisle saying, I do understand this. I was in love with this man. I loved him strong and I loved him wrong. Oh y'. All, Are you gonna be with me today? Anybody here love a man strong and wrong?

Okay, good.

Over here. Praise the Lord. Amen. I loved him strong. I loved him wrong. I loved this man with all my being. I was continually left heartbroken and rejected because I was not getting back. I was not getting it back from him. Even after I accepted Jesus, my heart, my soul, my mind and my strength were entangled in a person. I was entangled. And I'll say it again, ladies, even after Jesus. But my life began to change when I found the scripture. Now understand. I accepted Jesus as my Savior. 18. I gave my life to Christ at 19. How many know what I'm talking about? I believed in Jesus, but my life began to shift at 19. I was already married for a year. And then I began to read the Word of God. Because how many of you know it's not good enough to just go to church. It's not good enough to just sit in the pews. It's not good enough to just worship and it's not good enough to even listen to worship music. You've got to get into the Word of God, study the Word, understand the Word and let the word of God minister to your heart. And that's what I began to do. My life changed when I found this scripture. It says in Mark 12:29, in the NIV the most. What is the greatest commandment? The most important one. Jesus says, hear, O Israel, the Lord, O God. The Lord is one. Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength. And the second one is this. Love your neighbor as yourself. There's no commandment greater than these. My life began to change when I realized that not only does God love me, but I need to love him and I need to love him more than a man, love him more than a marriage, Love him more than my children. I gotta love Jesus first. And I began to see if I can love a man so much, if I could just shift my efforts into loving Jesus, I wonder what my life will become. Jesus says we're to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Our heart, our soul, and our mind are the areas that we allow ourselves to get entangled. The biblical definition of entanglement is the process of mental, moral, and spiritual confusion. That's entanglement. Mental, moral, and spiritual confusion. And entanglement doesn't just happen. Can I get an amen? Entanglement is a process, and there's certain steps that must take place in order for you to become entangled. I used to lay my necklaces in my jewelry box, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this. I would lay them straight in a line, wouldn't mess with them at all. And somehow when I went back to go get those necklaces a few weeks later, and they would be all tangled up, and I would think, why in the world are these things getting tangled up? I didn't touch it. I might have moved the box a little bit. But how in the world did they get all tangled? And then I finally realized the problem was they were laying too long together. Sometimes we lay around too long with the wrong thing and we become entangled. Oh, come on. Everybody gotta come on.

You just laid around. You laid with it too long.

You lay with it too long and you get untangled. Not only would my necklaces get entangled, they would somehow get knots in them. And I would think, how in the world do these things get knotted up? I didn't touch it. I might have moved a little bit. But not only are they entangled, but they're knotted up. And then I learned that knots are caused by length and agitation. Knots are caused by length and agitation. Some of us have been in relationships and been entangled so long, we're knotted up because it's been too long and there's too much agitation going on. Oh, anybody know that relationship that you stayed at for a long time? It was lengthy, and it was always agitation. There was always drama. There was always a fight. There was always a problem. You were always finding out, oh, come on, y'. All. You were always running and chasing and hopping our cars. Was that just me?

Length and agitation.

You've been intertwined with the wrong person, and it's hard to get out because of length and agitation. You've Been knotted with the wrong person. It's all because of length and agitation. The heart, soul and mind are supposed to love the Lord God. But now it's matted with wrong relationships with people, places and things that you know you've been delivered from, that you know God's called you out of that you know the Lord said, leave him alone. Leave her alone. Don't go there. Stop doing that. You know God has talked to you, but you're matted in it. See, there's a freedom in Christ. And who the Son sets free is free indeed. He has set you free, woman of God. I'm gonna say that again. He has set you free. But you've gotta want to get free from whatever who has your heart and your soul and your mind twisted. Tell your neighbor you can't be twisted. Come on. Matter of fact, say, I'm getting free today. I declare that over your life you are getting free today. Today is the day that you are gonna walk out. If you're free, you're no longer gonna be bound or tied to the wrong thing, but you are gonna get freedom. In the name of Jesus. So let's talk about a tangled heart. See, your heart is where you understand and make connections with the world. Your heart is the central place that functions out of the soul and your mind and your will and your affections. The word of God instructs us to keep our heart with all village. From it flows the issues of life. If your heart's not kept or not guarded, it will easily become entangled. See, when your heart is entangled in something, you can't just cut it off. And in our culture, we hear that a lot. Oh, I just cut them off. You get hurt by somebody, you just cut them off. Somebody betrays you. Oh, I just cut them off. Well, let me tell you, because you're a woman of God, you can't just cut people off. Your heart's been entangled. There's been loose ends that have been tied to somebody else. You gotta allow God to carefully unthread you from that person. You've got to make sure that God does it so there's minimal damage. See, when you cut off, there's damage that takes place. But you got to understand, I can tell you haven't cut somebody off by what you say. Usually when you cut somebody off, you're quick to tell them not only did you cut them off, but you're quick to tell them why. And then we gotta sit and hear every single detail of what that person did to you. In order for them to cut them off. And so I'm telling you, you can't do it that way. You can tell when your heart is not guarded by this thing right here, by listening to what you say. Matthew 15:18 says, but those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnesses, blasphemies. I love the message because it says, from the heart we vomit up evil arguments. Anybody just throw up on somebody, you.

Don'T even want to hear about it.

But they just say, hey, how you doing? I'm blessed and highly favored. And then they throw up all over you. Another way you can tell your heart's not guarded by having an unstable relationship with the Lord. Psalm 108:1 says, oh God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and give praise even with my glory. Steadfast means to be unwavering and firm in purpose. But if your heart's not guarded, you'll be up one day and down the other. You'll follow Jesus tonight, but you'll let him go in the morning. You'll believe what the word of God says during this conference, but when you leave, you shut it down. Time out for being unstable. In the name of Jesus.

God is calling stability.

Stability to the woman of God, Stability to the woman of redemption. Stability in Jesus name. Another way you can tell you have a tangled heart is is you need to take a look at your inner circle. Tell your neighbor, oh first Corinthians 15:33 says, do not be deceived. Evil company corrupts good habits. It matters who you hang with. It matters who you talk to. It matters who you run with. It matters who you share things with. You've got to be discerning, especially in today. You've got to be careful and make sure that you're not putting your business out there to someone who's not really focused for you, but against you. It matters who you talk to. Do they believe in Jesus? Do they believe in the Word? Do they know how to pray?

Do they know how to keep a secret?

Will they stand and fast with you? Will they be steadfast with you? You've got to know who's in your circle. You can tell when you're with the wrong person because they're scornful. The Word of God says, do not sit in the seat of the scornful complaining about everything. You go right along with them. It's because your heart is not guarded. The last way you can tell you're not guarded is by blaming the Lord on your problems. Proverbs 19:3 says, the foolishness of a man twists his way and his heart frets against the Lord. How can you fret against God, the one who gave you life and another chance? The one who makes a way out of no way? When your heart's not guarded, it's easy to blame him for everything. And then you start making weird deals with the Lord. You might know what I'm talking about, where you start making weird deals with the Lord. Oh, come on. Leah did it. Leah did it when she had her first baby. She said, because the Lord has seen my misery, I've had a son. So she was making a deal with the Lord. She was saying, listen, God, you owe me, son. Oh, hallelujah. God, you owe me. Oh, is anybody gonna be real in the house where you say, God, you've owed me. I've been saved for 32 days and you owe me this blessing.

You owe me.

You owe me. So, God, I've been serving you for eight months. You owe me, God, you give me something back for my faithfulness to you. The reward she wanted was love from a man who was supposed to love her, even though she knew he didn't. And God can't make anybody do anything. God can't make anybody do anything. I'm gonna say it again to you, woman of God. God can't make. Stop praying for God to change him and go to God. Say, God, change me.

Hallelujah.

When you have a tangled heart, woman of God, you develop an entangled soul. An entangled soul is a soul satisfaction that's rooted in the desires where you just can't get enough. Every ungodly, unbalanced, unprioritized relationship wants your soul. It can be with food, it can be with drink, it can be with shopping, it can be with sex. It's that man you can't shake. Oh, Lord, no one been with the man that snatched they soul. Okay, all right. If you don't know what that means, look it up in urban dictionary. Amen. He will snatch your soul. Soulless relationships are called entanglements. They're complicated and hard to get out of. Soulless relationships are those when you offer yourself with no special conditions. It's a hookup. There's no safety, there's no commitment. It's an exchange. You give him all your goodies, he ain't giving you nothing back. And you hope the goodies will keep them. But don't you know, they'll go else to get other goodies and then they'll come back and get your goodies too. Listen, it's a jacked up system, but it's true. Soulless relationships string you along. Anybody been strung along before? When you're hoping one day it's gonna work and hoping one day he's gonna show up for the date or hoping one day he's gonna post you on Instagram, hoping your Facebook friend will one day actually meet you. Getting strung along. Women, we gotta be smart. We gotta be smarter these days. Amen. We gotta get out of those relationships that are not good for you, for us, and stop being entangled in stuff that's trying to pull you away from your first love. And that's Jesus. Leah was strung along in the relationship. Leah was strung along. You know, Leah wasn't loved. But I tell you what, she kept on popping out them babies, didn't she? There must have been something that Jacob liked. He kept on creeping over to that tent. Come on, somebody. Here it is. Leah not loved. Giving herself to this man. A hookup, no commitment. His heart was not with her. But it was a soulish relationship. It was soulless. Your soul speaks of your inner life in relation to your own experiences that deals with your thoughts, your heart and your dreams and your desires. Psalm 103. One says, Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul. What that saying is, God, bless the Lord with all my dreams, all my desires, all my thoughts that were in me. And that's how God gives you the desires of your heart. Because your desires line up with the word of God and you're blessing the Lord. When your desire comes to pass is to bless God. But when your soul is entangled, your thoughts, desires and passions rarely line up with the word of God. See, Proverbs 27 and 20 says, Death and destruction are never satisfied. And neither are human eyes. The enemy wants your soul. Your flesh is never satisfied. The flesh is never satisfied. You always want more. One Oreo is not enough.

One slice of pizza is not enough.

You want more and more and more. And the soulish desire begins to grow. But see, listen. Only God can satisfy your soul. He's the only one that can satisfy. Leah was hoping that the love from her husband would get that satisfaction. But only God can satisfy you. See, when you love the Lord God with all your soul, you find satisfaction more than any other place, person or thing. I know what that's like. Being married young, I loved my husband. I adored my husband. I would do anything for my husband just to get his attention. He was great to my kids, but always bad toward me. He resented me getting married so young. He thought I ruined his football career. That was non existent by the way. He felt like he lost his youth because he got married so young. We were. We were 18 and 19 years old. And I can remember wanting so badly for him to love me the way I thought I needed to be loved. And yearning for him and crying for him and just wanting him. And you know, the more I wanted, the more he would run. It wasn't bad though. God was trying to show me something that no matter where you are in life, only God can give you the love that you desire. Only the supernatural love can fulfill the natural longing in your life. And it's wrong for you to look at a man to do something supernaturally. God is good. So I had an entangled soul. My soul was entangled. My soul was up and down and here, there, everywhere. I felt like I couldn't do anything with that. I'm so tangled up. And then of course, my mind gets entangled. And your mind are where your thoughts, intents and actions live. Our mind can build or break our lives. By now Leah said, I've got three sons now. My husband will be attached to me. Leah gave up on love. Remember the first time. Doesn't love me, he doesn't love me. Now he's like, lord, just let him feel attached. Isn't that pitiful how your mind will dumb you down to think you're not worthy of love, you're not worthy of normal relationship. And you're saying, God, I don't care, just let someone be attached to me. Attachment is often caused by sympathy. In her mind, she was hoping that her husband would connect with her because he felt pity for her. Her mind convinced her she was pitiful. And I know I'm not by myself to admit that I've been convinced that I'm pitiful. Who would want someone like me?

Where'd that come from?

I had a husband that was telling me that on his behavior on a daily. I had a father that did the same thing. We all have bad situations from bad past. But the devil will use those vulnerabilities and reinforce the lie. If your daddy don't want you and your husband don't want you, God surely don't want you. And it's hard to go before a guy that you feel does not want you. But I'm here to Remind you today that you are loved and wanted by God, that there is a purpose for your life, that God has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. And God does not think you're pitiful. He thinks you are powerful.

God does not think that you're not wanting.

God wants every piece of you. He wants every ounce of you. He wants you to be more than attached. He wants to love you with an undying love. Philippians 4:8 says, finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. But it's easier for us to think about what is false, what is wrong, what is dirty, what is ugly, what is messy, what is poor, what is shameful. You've got to fight to change that negative mindset that you've been so conditioned to tell yourself over and over again. I used to think I wasn't good enough, wasn't accepted. And I got to the place that I said, if I'm married to a man that continues having affairs, that's fine. Listen, I was young and dumb. Y' all praise the Lord. I'm 50 now. We don't do that, man. If you're gonna do that, just go. Just give me half of everything. We'll be good. I just felt like I deserved poor treatment. It became a stronghold in my mind. So here I'm going to church, lifting my hands up in worship, but feeling like the worst person in the building, the most unloved in the building, the one that nobody wanted anything to do with. And I didn't like anything women either, because all the women were after my man and I'll cut you in church. Then I get intrusive thoughts where I get all paranoid that everyone's talking about me and doesn't like me and they're saying things behind my. Am I by myself? Y' all don't make me feel crazy alone. You feel like you're.

No one likes you. Everyone's talking about you.

They're making fun of you. There's a joke and you don't know anything about it. And you're walking in church paranoid and suspicious and looking at people crazy.

And Jesus is like, wait a minute, where are you?

Look, these are your sisters in Christ. Nuh. They don't like me because they jealous. Jealous of what?

Nobody wants your man. He's raggedy.

And the worst part about it, when you're fearful and you're critical and you hear these voices in your Head. You believe it because it sounds like you.

It's your voice.

But the lies of the enemy, it's because you're entangled. And things that aren't true, you're entangled of the lies that have been exposed to you by how you're treated in relationships is because you decided to hold on to things too long. And God is saying, when are you gonna let them go? You can't love me and them. Oh, my God, it's the truth. It's the truth. Hallelujah is the truth. I'm going to get to it in a minute. The mind of Christ is the only way, through the Holy Spirit, that you can control your mind and control your thoughts. The Holy Spirit will speak truth to you. The enemy will lie to you. And if you don't know the word of God, you won't be able to distinguish between the both of them. See 2nd Corinthians 10:3, 5 says, for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are.

Not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, for casting down arguments or imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Powerful scripture. Your imagination can cause you to believe what you have. No proof even exists. Leah convinced herself that she's not worthy of love. She said, just heaven, be attached to me. Romans 12:2 says, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Renewed mind. You need your mind renewed. If you're in the wrong type of relationship, and it can be with your mother, your father, your husband, your children, it could be with alcohol, it could be with anything that you've got a relationship with that you can't seem to break. The word of God says to renew your mind. And when you renew your mind, you get reestablished and a revival comes along in your life. You become revived. And then the Word talks about strength. Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Untangled strength. Untangled strength. If you've spent years trying to help the wrong person, counsel the wrong person, pour into the wrong person that's caused you nothing but heartache and pain, you might be dealing with the wrong strength source. You are not responsible to save them. You are not responsible to carry them. You can't pick up every poor puppy on the side of the road and try to give them the little bit of Jesus that you've got when the phone rings and if you look like, oh, God, I can't get the phone because she's calling again. That's an indication that your strength has been tangled in the wrong person. You're carrying people you have no business to carry. You're taking on trials that aren't yours. You're fighting for people who won't even fight for themselves.

Oh, hallelujah. You're fighting battles that aren't yours.

They don't even fight. You're believing for them. They don't even believe. Your strength is being misplaced, displaced. And it's entangled. It's entangled. And I know what that's like to get entangled. I would always pray and say, God, if my husband could just get to know you. If my husband just get to know you. If my husband just get to know you. And I had to realize, listen, I need to get to know Jesus. Because whether he gets to know him or not, I have found the lover of my soul.

I have found the one who will.

Never let me go. I found the one that holds me up. I found the one that loves me with an unconditional love. I found someone who accepts me, who I am. I've got someone who wants to heal My heart and my mind and my.

Spirit and my soul. And my strength can no longer go to the wrong person.

I can no longer be entangled. I can't do it anymore. Anybody like me feel like they can't do it anymore. Come on. If you're like me, raise your hand. I can't do it anymore. I've been entangled in the wrong thing for too long. I know the thing is draining me. It is tapping me out. Let me tell you something. Jesus can do a lot more than you can do. Stop trying to do it.

Stop trying to pray it. Stop trying to speak to it. God sees everything.

That person belongs to God anyway.

God wants a relationship with him, a personal relationship. Maybe you're in the way. Maybe you're trying to rescue too much. Maybe the best thing for him is to hit rock bottom. The best thing for her is to hit rock bottom again. Untangled, get loose and let that person go.

In the name of Jesus. See, when you're revived, you step into a new strength. When you're revived, you step into a new power. Oh, who knows what I'm talking about? When you're revived, you feel like no weapon formed against me shall prosper.

When you're revived, you know that if.

God before me, who can be against me?

When you're revived, you know that God.

Has gone before you, he is with you. He is fighting for you.

When you've been revived, you know you've.

Tapped into a new strength. And I believe Leah finally got untangled right before she had her fourth son. I know when I got entangled, when I realized that, God, whether I'm married or divorced, I am focused on you. Whether I am with or without a husband, I am focused on you. Whether it works out or doesn't work out, I am focused on you. And the more you focus on Jesus and you give him room to work.

The more he works on the other person's heart, the more he works on the other person's mind, the more he works on the other person's soul. But you gotta get untangled. Come on, shake yourself loose. You've gotta get untangled. You've gotta let it go. You gotta get rid of it. Come on. In Jesus name.

Leah got entangled right before her first son because her language changed. She was no longer saying, God, if you would love me. She's no longer saying God because I'm miserable. She's no longer saying God, just let it be attached. But Leah said something that I believe we all have to say. She said, this time I will praise the Lord.

This time I will praise the Lord. I'm not having no baby for nobody else. But this time I will praise the Lord. Do I have any praisers in the house right now that can say, this time, this time, this. I will praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord. It takes strength to praise the Lord when you don't know how it's gonna work out. It takes strength to praise the Lord when you're sick in your body. It takes strength to praise the Lord when you don't know the end from the beginning. It takes strength to praise the Lord when you have no idea how it's gonna work out.

But let me tell you, it's working.

Out for your good because you are called and you love Jesus and it's gonna work out. Come on, enter your praises. Get to your feet right now and give God a praise. Give God a praise. Give God a praise this time. I will praise the Lord this time.

Woo.

Come on, come on, come on. Give God glory in this place. The more you praise, the more untangled you get. The more you praise, the more free you get. The more you praise, the more loose you get. Come on, come on. Woman of God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. You are not just a mother, you are not just a wife, you are not just a grandmother.

You are not Just a worker.

You are a called anointed, strong woman of God. You are free.

In the name of Jesus.

That relationship that has had you bound up, I call it loose right now.

In the name of Jesus, you will.

Walk out of here with a clear mind, with a clear soul, with a.

Clear heart and with a renewed strength. In the name of Jesus. God.

Right now.

Take a step forward. You're stepped into new strength. Take another step forward. You're stepping into new strength. Come on, praise him. Get with.

Take another step forward.

You're stepping into new strength.

Come on, get out your chairs. Take another step forward. You're stepping into new strength. Come on, you're getting untangled. The more steps you take, the more steps you take. You're getting untangled.

You are loose.

In the name of Jesus.

You are free.

In the name of Jesus. You are no longer wrapped up in chaos and confusion. In the name of Jesus. God has set you free right now. In Jesus name. Come on and give God praise. Give him.

Praise.

God. Hallelujah. You're done with entanglements. You're done with wrong relationships. Delete him at your phone. Delete him at your inbox. Delete him. Let him go in Jesus name. He's not good for you. It might be good to you, but it's not good for you. Hallelujah. And let me tell you this.

This goes for your children also. Because I know us godly women raise our children up in the fear of the Lord. And they know how to speak in tongues by the time they're three and they play church when they're six. But then they turn 16 and turn into little demons. Let me tell you, the Word of.

God says to train them up in the way they should go. And when they're old, they will not depart. If you've trained them up, you've done your part. So let them go in Jesus name and let God be God. Let God be God. Let God be God. Get untangled from that child. That child belongs to Jesus anyway. God can do much better than you. Hallelujah. I feel freedom in the house. I feel freedom in the house. I feel freedom in the house. I feel freedom in the house. Come on and give God praise in here. Hallelujah.

And let me end with this. The Word of God says. And this is the best part, y'. All. Anybody feel free? I feel God in the room.

I feel God in the room. I feel God in the room. I feel God in the room. Hallelujah.

Let me tell you this. The word of God says that when she had her fourth child, Leah said, I'll praise the Lord. And the Bible says she stopped having children. But some version says that she stopped bearing. And I want to claim this over your life right now, that because you're here today, on this divine day that's been marked before the foundation of the earth, this day, you're going to stop bearing. And bearing means not just having children. It means you stop doing something that's difficult, something that is painful, something that's emotionally hard. I speak over your life right now that your life will no longer be difficult.

It will not be painful. It will not be emotionally hard.

I say this again.

It will not be painful. It will not be difficult, it will not be emotionally hard. Because you, woman of God, have stopped bearing. Let God do it. Let God do it. Let God do it. Let God do it. Let God do it. Let God do it. Let God do it. In the name of Jesus, no more bearing. No more bearing. No more bearing.

You're strong when you're not tamed to. But Jesus wants you to be entangled with him. Once you get untangled. Oh, hallelujah. Now it's time to get entangled. And I want you to just turn right now into the arms of Jesus. Just turn right now. Just turn.

Turn.

He's. He's tangling you up in his love.

He's tangled up in his joy, in his peace, in his prosperity, in his promises, in his healing, in his salvation, in his redemption. Come on. In his forgiveness. Be entangled with God. And don't forget to praise the Lord. How many of you want to praise God right now? How many of you want to praise God right now? Come on. Let's give God praise right now. Hallelujah. Come on. Church always wait when I Jesus. They dance like the white has been lifted.
