In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes that God is calling certain believers to build ministries, businesses, or resources that are intended to endure until the end times, particularly focused on healing and deliverance. He warns that believers often dilute their divine assignments by adopting advice, identities, or perspectives from others rather than following the specific instructions God gave them. While seeking counsel and education is encouraged, the speaker stresses that any external advice must be filtered through prayer and confirmation with the Lord. Overwhelm, he explains, arises when believers try to act on instructions they never received from God. The core call to action is to give every possible moment and opportunity to Jesus, thereby denying the devil any opening.

Chapters

That he shared with me, he really helped me to understand that there are some things that God is having some of us build that are meant to endure until the end. Meaning it's not a one-off, one-time thing. It is an end-time business or an end-time ministry or an end-time resource for God's people and those who are not yet saved that are seeking to To find the truth about the gospel of Jesus Christ, but specifically in my case, healing and deliverance. And one of the things I think hinders a lot of God's people from moving forward in what he's called them to do is that you begin to take on these identities and these perspectives of advice about how you should be building from everyone except the one who gave you the assignment. And so you start adjusting things according to how people think it should be done, or you start adjusting things to according to what man says, and they're not the one who gave you the assignment. I am not saying not to go seek after counsel, educate yourself on things. That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is you need to get the instruction even after you receive that counsel, taking that counsel back to the Lord to find out what he's saying about it, right? And so the reason why you may be experiencing overwhelm is because you're taking all of these things in that God never gave you instructions for. If he told you the first step was to go and do this or apply for this, then only do that, right? Don't go taking on things that he didn't say to do. So that means who should you be giving opportunity to? Jesus. Because when you don't give Jesus every opportunity, Somewhere in your life, you're giving the devil an opportunity. And that means giving Jesus an opportunity every single day, every single moment, every waking, breathing moment of your life. Give no opportunity to the devil. Give every opportunity to Jesus.
