We call the room to speak life, lift expectation, and receive healing, then teach how divine disruption becomes the doorway to discovery. From the widow’s oil to Jesus’ resurrection, we show how one word plus quick obedience turns crisis into capacity, testimony, and territory.
• declaring faith and raising expectation
• healing anointing and activation at the altar
• disruption as promotion, not punishment
• finding the next version of self through tension
• 2 Kings 4 and the oil already in the house
• private pouring, public testimony
• patterns of disruption to discovery across Scripture
• scriptures for courage, provision, and presence
• possess the land; walk and strike the ground
• reintroducing ourselves and obeying quickly

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions
Declare It And Believe
SPEAKER_00Whatever you need from God right now, just begin to open up your mouth and tell him. Tell him what your expectations are.
SPEAKER_02You have to open up your mouth and declare what you believe. Life is in the power of your tongue. Speak it to It will be what you say. It will be It will be what you say.
SPEAKER_03Open up the ball!
SPEAKER_00Now I need for you to believe that what you just spoke, that God is about to do it. Can you open up your mouth and just begin to point?
SPEAKER_02Come on!
SPEAKER_01Shout up to God with the voice of triumph! Come on, come on!
unknownCome on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Shout! Shout up to God!
SPEAKER_00Now can you thank God in expectation of what he's about to do in our midst today? Come on! Wherever you are, if you're in the sanctuary or if you're online, can you give God a praise? For what you are expecting right now? Can you praise him in advance? Come on, come on.
SPEAKER_02Glory to God! Glory to God!
SPEAKER_01Now come on! We need a stirring in the house! Where about people that do knowing that God is about to beat you your point about While I was sitting there, I feel the line of you! You're about to leave us with another life! You leave it one way! But you're about to leave the other way! Because God is about to ship the things that sound you!
SPEAKER_02Our declaration is we're going one way! I need to somebody to prophesy over your life and stop! I'm doing up everything! About me is going up my face! It's doing up my going up, my feet! It's going up! I'm going up! It's going up! It's going up!
SPEAKER_01Oh it's just somewhere else! I'm not guessing I know it by faith.
SPEAKER_02Because God has already shown me what he wants to do in this hour.
SPEAKER_00And my answer to everything that we need is in the kingdom believer. So he has to take us up so we can be somebody else's answer. Somebody shout, I'm going up. Now come on and praise him like you know it. This is not church as usual, and God is about to do something different in the house today. Are we ready for it? Before I get into the word, I was sitting there and
Healing Breakout And Altar Call
SPEAKER_00there's been healing that's been in my hands that I've not been able to deny. And anybody that's suffering an ailment in your body, can you meet me at the altar really quickly before we get into the word? I sense it very strongly, and I don't want to move past this moment. We can go ahead and just keep praising through it because it's gonna be real quick. God is just about, yeah, yeah, it's many of you. Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01Some of us just come ready to receive, and a healing anointing is about to speak through this house. You better get ready. Get ready for Dr. You have to be the thing.
SPEAKER_03I know what the people I know I can see, I know I can't do it.
SPEAKER_00Whatever the house needs, lay your hands on it. Whatever this church needs, lay your hands on it. When you lay your hands on it, things are gonna change. The same anointing that's resting now on me is resting on you.
SPEAKER_02Lay your hands on it.
SPEAKER_00God is meeting the expectation that's been set in the house today. This is not church as usual. This is a move of God that will be unexplainable. The demonstrative power of God is on full display, and I believe that testimonies will follow. If you believe in
Prophetic Activation And Commissioning
SPEAKER_00somebody, shout, I believe. Come on one more time, I believe. Because when kingdom believers get together, anything can happen.
SPEAKER_02And I speak over you right now, wellness and goodness and mercy and grace. I speak over you now. Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing knocking. I speak over you now. Freedom in the Holy Ghost. I pray now that the anointing of God will activate gifts, night dreams. I speak over you now, that innovation is breaking out in this house. I speak over you now, expansion in the name of Jesus, eye of the Holy Ghost, do what only you can do. All in this place produce miracles.
SPEAKER_00But believe me, we fail. But God will always prevail. So that his people will be the ones that regulate things on earth. Let it be on earth as it is in heaven. So God is raising you up, not just for you, but God is raising you up to be an answer. So he needs you healed and holy. He needs you full of power and confident in your obedience that whatever he tells you to do, that you'll quickly obey. Tell somebody quickly, quickly obey. Come on, quickly, quickly obey. Come on, thank God for the healing power that has saturated the road. Can we just take just thirty seconds to love on God? Come on, come on, pull your affection out for him. He is the only wise God.
SPEAKER_01He's your father. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to God, the for what he means to you. Wonderful Savior, mighty God, with the beast, how we love you, and we adore you. We set our affection on you. We worship you in the beauty of holiness.
SPEAKER_02Of all the praise you worthy, of all the glory you worthy, of our adoration.
unknownYou are the object of our affection.
SPEAKER_02We searched all over, but we couldn't find anybody. You are all that we need. You are our sufficiency, so we wish you'd be able to do that.
SPEAKER_00We thank God for the man and woman of this house. For Pastor and Lady Bowers, for my husband, Apostle Dan and Peter Crew, for my great ministry team that's here serving with me, for the great committee of the finding her conference. Thank God for our Friday night facilitator and speaker, Elder Nakema. Come on, give God praise for the anointed woman of God and all that God is doing in her life. Can you point to her real quick? And Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that she has stepped over into another dimension, that ministry for her will not be the same, that you've disrupted the space that she was in, that you disrupted a disrupted a good thing to give her next. So, Father, we pray that the anointing of God will just saturate her life now from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Let your power permeate through her. We wake up the prophetic voice, prophesy with clarity. We speak to your ears now that you will hear. God, we pray now that your eyes will have the ability to see in the realm of the spirit. And God, it will be whatever she says, because she will prophesy according to your name. Father, we pray that miracles and signs and wonders and demonstration will come through her ministry. Do it now, God, in the name of Jesus. Put a fire in her belly that cannot be consumed. Father, we thank you now. We thank you now for her ministry. God, we thank you now that it will go national and international. Father, we thank you now that she has been faithful, she has been a servant, and you're about to reward her. Oh Father, for trusting and walking with you. God, we thank you now that what you've done in her in private times that is about to be revealed in public. Oh Father, we pray now that as she is promoted and elevated in the realm of the Spirit, that she will continue to give you glory. We thank you now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Somebody shout amen. As you take your seats, put your hands together for yourselves. For those of you that I am completely out of every book that I brought, we thank God for you all. You guys, this is this is home for me. And I expect to be here once again. At least. And not just to preach, I'm just coming. You are a very special, special house, and I'm honored to be in relationship with your leadership. And to be in relationship with many of you is refreshing to be here. Those of you that did receive a book that is not signed after service, meet me at the table. I will sign it. I have a book now that I want to give away with anybody whose name starts with an A. Alright, right here. The first A went up. Um, this is your book. You can come and get it. I'll sign it for you after service. Thank God for the woman of God. And I'm not gonna continue to belabor the time. Can I give you a condensed prophetic version of what the sermon is today? Because I believe that God has done such a mighty work all weekend long. But we want to make sure that you leave with the word of God and the instructions that God is about to give you. Before we read the text today, I want to say that sometimes it's it's kind of oxymoronic, but there is good disruption. That sometimes God will shake things up, not because things are bad, but because he wants to give you better. And there are many of you,
Disrupted To Be Discovered
SPEAKER_00you can feel the shaking of God, and even when you came in, your praise hit a little bit different today because you realize that God is about to do something different in your life. So it is not the enemy that's changing normalcy. This is God that's shaking up some things because he wants to upgrade your life. Somebody shout upgrade. Because God wants people to know you, He's reintroducing you to another facet of what you do and who you are. You're not gonna be known for what you did in the last season because God is about to represent you and He's about to reintroduce you to something that no one has ever seen. Not even you. There are some things that God is about to do through you that you would have never imagined that you could do. Some of you are about to stand through. Don't even lie with your education. You and your sons can live off of what is left. And I want to speak this morning from the topic disrupted to be discovered. Disrupted to be discovered. You can take your seats in the presence of the Lord. There is something about disruption, whether God is disrupting a good thing, or even whether God is coming in by way of crisis. But disruption, all the more is uncomfortable. We spend most of our lives trying to live in some sense of normalcy. But this morning the spirit is saying for those of you that are waiting on things to be normal, they won't. That you're gonna have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, that you're gonna have to now defy comfort zones or things that have always made you feel safe. Many of us try to avoid disruption because disruption is something that we can't plan for. And we won't we sometimes feel like maybe we won't recover from disruption. We love lives that we know the rhythm of it. We love the predictability of what we do. Some of us have set our whole lives up so that we could be predictable about the outcome. We love the security of knowing what's next, but God has us in a space right now where He's about to showcase his glory in a way that man won't be able to naturally figure it out. That our finite minds won't be able to sum up how the glory of God is gonna move in our lives. So God will use disruption as a tool to introduce us to the next level. There is something more that God is about to do with your life, and God is about to do with the church. He is going to allow us to be safety for a world that cannot trust in anything else. This is a season where people are about to return back to God in droves. Salvation is coming in droves. Miracles and signs and wonders are coming in droves, and people are depending on the church for food and housing and safety. And God has said, I am making my church a safe haven for people to come in and have nurturing and care and prayer, and families are gonna come in to get what they need for stability. So God is disrupting your life because God is making you an answer. Somebody shout, I'm an answer. There is something that's on the inside of you that will provide an answer for the world. So this thing that God is doing in your life, it's beyond you. It's for your children and your children's children and your neighbor and your city and your region and your nation. What God is doing in you is beyond you. So He has to shake you up so that He can position you for where He's called you to. Yeah. So you're about to meet the next version of yourself. So we're not just talking to the women today. We're not only finding her, we're finding Him. Yeah, let me say it again. We're not only finding her, we're finding Him because we are now going to have to reintroduce ourselves to ourselves. There's somebody that's sitting by you that maybe has known you for years, but you need to reintroduce the new you to them in this next season. The way you used to operate, that's not how you'll be operating in the next season. There's some people that's been quiet, but your voice is gonna be instrumental in the next season. There's some people that really didn't see themselves in ministry, but you will be a vital part of ministry in the next season. There's some people that have a nine to five, but you're gonna walk out and start a business that's gonna sustain a neighborhood in the next season. There's some people that didn't want to teach, but God is gonna put you in a classroom to teach families how to survive in the next season. He's reintroducing another version of you. So you're finding her and you're finding him. Yeah. And you don't meet the next version of yourself in seasons of stability. And oftentimes we'll look at instability and we'll automatically give the enemy all of the credit. But the truth is, God is shaking some things up, and this is why your sleep patterns are off. That's why many of you are trying to figure out why you can't get to a set schedule, and why is it when I lay down at night, I feel Holy Spirit tugging on me, and I want to go to sleep, but my mind and my spirit seems to be moving, and I can't shut it down. It's because God is pouring into you for who you are becoming. Yeah, yeah, He's shaking up some things, and even you are gonna have to get used to the new you. Yeah, you have not seen the height of your power, you have not seen the height of your ability. What you have seen to date pales in comparison to what God is about to do through you, even for this church, it pales in comparison to what God is about to do. Glory to God. You're about to take territory for the kingdom. Chosen City should have been shouting over that. You're you're about, I didn't say I said you're about to take territory for the kingdom, not just to take up space, but for the kingdom, so that you can be the answer for the people in the kingdom of God and in the world. God has positioned you a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. So he had to shake up some things, he's interrupted some of your plans, and he's put you in a position that now you have no choice but to trust him. Some of the greatest discoveries in your life won't come from comfort zones, they'll come from sometimes crisis zones. And if some of you are in a crisis or in a disruption, you need to know that it's God allowing it to happen because God is awakening something that's on the inside of you, and God is about to get the glory from this disruption. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If your life stayed on the smooth path, you wouldn't press into God like you need to for this season. If everything had gone according to your plan, then you may be a little bit too relaxed. But the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violence take
The Widow’s Oil: One Word, New Life
SPEAKER_00it by force. We're in urgent times right now, and urgent times call for people to step up to the occasion. So when your life gets interrupted, and when you have no plan or when your resources change, you are a candidate for the upgrade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Disruption sets the stage for God to show himself strong, and when the dust settles, God is gonna get the glory. So, so for many of you, your normal life as you know it will be no more. When you look at 2 Kings chapter 4, there is a widow woman that was married to the prophet, and the Bible said that the prophet dies. When the prophet dies, he leaves the widow woman in debt, and the Bible says that the creditors have now said, I'm coming for your two sons, because you don't have the money to pay off the debt. This is the kind of disruption that will inconvenience you. The woman that was once in normalcy is automatically thrown into crisis over one situation. God will allow one thing in your life to shake up so that he can transport you to your next level. One thing I love about God is he doesn't allow disruption to have the last word. If God has disrupted anything in your life, it's because there is another word that's gonna transport you. He will use the disruption to introduce to you another facet of yourself. So the Bible says that the woman of God finds the prophet of God, and you may wonder what made her go to the prophet. She was familiar with the prophets because if you research her husband, her husband was one of those that seeded into the prophet of God. He seeded into the school of the prophets. So that means she knew where to go. You better find a prophetic voice or somebody that carries the word of the Lord. Everybody doesn't have to carry the title prophet, but they need a word. You need to find somebody that you can connect to in time of crisis that can tell you what the word of the Lord is for your situation. So when disruption comes, you'll be able to understand what God is doing. You need to find somebody. Some of you may need to make some new relationships, but you need somebody that can get the word to you in trying times. The Bible said that she cries out to Elisha, and the Hebrew word here is Aog. It is a cry that carries a sound of desperation. It's a cry from her soul. This is the sound of someone that understands that one season is ending and another season is beginning. And for many of you, the reason why you feel like you cannot, you don't have kilter is because you're standing in between two seasons. You're not where you used to be, but you're not where you're going. And you find yourself in the hallway. The door hasn't opened, but the other door is locked. You've come too far to go back. So you might as well trust God. For many of you, what you're feeling, the tension of what you're feeling is the pull of God saying, You can't go back to the old level. You've been upgraded, you've gone to a new dimension, so going back is not an option. Tell somebody going back is not an option. It's standing at the closing of a chapter of that season, the old season, but but the page hasn't been turned on the new season yet. It's the cry of being caught between what was and what will be. You can't go back because the door is closed and you haven't gotten a glimpse of what's gonna open up. Yeah, it's the hallway. Somebody shout, the hallway. It is this kind of disruption that will produce a cry in you that you will never form in calm seasons. So many of you, your prayer life has changed, and you'll find yourself before God, sometimes not having the words to say, but realizing that there is a cry or a groan in your spirit that was not there before. It is your soul connecting to the spirit of God so that God can now pull you into the place that He wants you to be. Her cry that this woman had was directed to the prophet of God. That means you need to know who to cry to. You need to find somebody that you can cry to where they won't take it as a complaint, they'll take it as you beckoning God, and they'll have a word in their mouth that they can give you. I said it like this misplaced cries lead to misplaced solutions, and misplaced solutions lead to misplaced seasons, and misplaced seasons will keep you from your discovery. So you need a cry that's gonna prompt the word of God from somebody that carries the word of God or from God Himself. So she goes to the prophet in the cry, and the prophet says, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? I don't believe that the prophet of God was asking her what was in her house because he didn't know. He was trying to illuminate her revelation. He wanted her to be aware that there is something in your house that you haven't given value to. Because when he asked her what's in your house, she said, Nothing. Then she changed it a little bit and said, Well, except a jar of oil. And the oil represents the anointing. That means if you have just a little anointing, you have everything you need to go to the next level. And everybody that's under the sound of my voice, you need to lay your hands on yourself and shout, I'm anointed. Because too many times we thought that anointing is just for those with title. But everybody that's sitting under the sound of my voice, you are anointed. There is a seed of anointing that's on the inside of you, and the anointing breaks the yoke, it destroys the yoke. It's the anointing that's gonna cause the next version of you to show up. So God's process often begins with what's already in your possession. You have everything that you need. Let me go on to say this church has everything that you need for the next level. You're not deficient of anything that God is gonna use to get you to the next place. Every person that is in here has a contribution for what God is about to do for the next season. Even in your own personal life, you have the seed of everything that you need for your family, for your children, and for your children's children. It may be in seed form and maybe you don't know it yet, but Holy Spirit is about to illuminate that there's something on the inside of you that's about to make you become somebody that you're not really fully acquainted with. Yeah. Somebody shout the oil is enough. Come on, one more time. The oil is enough. That means I don't have to have every answer, I don't have to be privy to every plan. The oil is enough for whatever problem that hits my house. The oil is enough for whatever problem that attacks my children, the oil is enough for whatever plague that hinders this society, the oil is enough. Whatever you need, if you don't have the health care that you need, the oil will cause you to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. The oil is enough. If you need money, the oil will produce it. If you need a business, the oil will help you build it. If you need land, the oil will help you buy it. The oil is enough. Somebody shout, the oil is enough. And I decree and declare that another level of anointing is about to rise up in you right now, and you're gonna do things in God that you never thought you would do. That God is about to showcase giftings and callings that you didn't know you had. Somebody shout the oil, the oil. The oil is enough. Sometimes your miracle isn't waiting on something new to arrive. It's been waiting on you to see that you've had what you needed in your house all along. And all God needs for you to do is participate for you to receive your miracle. The version of the you that you've been looking for, for many of you have been hidden in plain sight. It's been wrapped up in something that you deem to be insignificant. It's been wrapped up in something that you have been ignoring. So Alicia tells this woman of God, now go outside, go to your neighbors and borrow some pots, and borrow not a few. Then he says, I want you to go home when you get them. You and your sons close the door and began to pour. Now I want to deal with this for the sake of time. I want to go to this part. There's something that God is about to do in your private time. And what many of you are feeling is that tug to get into the secret place. It's because in your private time, God is about to do something in your life. He said, I'm I'm gonna let you borrow the pots in public just enough to arouse their curiosity, just so you can get an audience to be there when your testimony comes. But I'm about to do the work in private, I'm about to deal with you in private. And if many of you would tell the truth, you haven't told everybody what God has been saying to you in private because you're not sure that everybody can handle it. And God has already started redefining some of you in your prayer life, but you don't want to tell everybody because you don't know the fullness of it yet. But you need to know that when it's time for it to be revealed, you're coming out with a testimony. For every test that you've had to endure in the last season, you're coming out with a testimony. And I don't know about you, but I've been plagued by some tests, but my testimony is on the way. Somebody that's been disrupted shout, my testimony is on the way. You maybe been hit in your finances, but your testimony of overflow is on the way. Maybe you've been disrupted in your health, but your testimony of healing is on the way. Maybe your children have been acting unseemly, but your testimony is on the way. Maybe your ministry has taken a hit, but your testimony is on the way. Maybe your mind has been suffering and you haven't had any peace, but your testimony is on the way. If you've had a test, jump up to your feet and shout, I'm about to give a testimony.
SPEAKER_02My testimony will be if it had not been for the Lord on my son. I don't know what I would do if God had stepped in. I would have lost my mind. If God had stepped in, I would have lost something. If God stepped in, I don't know what people would do, who has ripped your mouth, this muscle and gave me a testimony. Oh yes, people! And if you believe your testimony is coming, I need for you to stop like that. It wasn't about us anyway. God was just using your life. God just considered you because he knew you would trust him. Because he knew you would quit. He's using your life, and at the right time, you're gonna tell your story. I came to proper side of something that your story is not open.
SPEAKER_00Stop out of that face, babe, next chapter.
SPEAKER_02Come on, one more time, next doctor. Stop the face, I'm gonna feel the way you think it's gonna stop. Next chapter. It's coming, next doctor. I don't know everything it will be, but I know it will be good and it will be good. I don't know how it looks, but I know that God is gonna get the hold. I know that he's a God that keeps his promises, his promises, I yes, man! The speed of what I think is gonna produce a bad place. What the speed is a bundle, a thought, what I can ask, or what I can think, it will be done, and it will be good, it will be done, and it will be good.
SPEAKER_00Somebody shout, it will be God, and it will be good. Come on, put your faith on that. Time is ticking, so I'm gonna paraphrase it.
Private Pouring, Public Testimony
SPEAKER_00This woman of God goes to the prophet of God. The curiosity of the crowd is there. God goes and He does a private work in this woman of God's life, and all the curious people know is that she went in one way, but she came out another. She was a broken widow at the beginning of the chapter, but she was an affluent businesswoman by the end. That means that all you need to change your situation is one word. One word from God will change the trajectory of your entire life. You might think you need a series of words, but all you need is one word. Somebody shout one word. And the Bible declares that she goes and she pours. And when she comes out, the same people that watched her look crazy are the same people that had to witness and give God glory for her miracle. She went in the house broke, but she came out of the house wealthy. She went in the house not knowing what's gonna happen for her children, but she came out of the house with legacy established. Somebody shout one word, flipped her entire life. Glory to God. So all God is needing for you to go to the next level of who you are is for you to be obedient and give him the capacity to do what he's gonna do in your life. This woman of God was able to pay off the debt, and the text said that she and her sons would be able to live off of the rest. God will allow the enemy to think that he is disrupting your life so that he could bless your life. The enemy can have a plot, but God will always have a plan. So this woman of God started the story with a problem, but she ended the story with provision. She started in the text with weeping, but by the end of the text, she was working. She started the chapter in despair, but she ended the chapter in discovery. This is a pattern that God wants to do in your life, that He will use disruption to get you to the next place. When you look at disruption, there are in there there are examples in the Bible. Moses was disrupted by the desert, but he discovered a burning bush. Daniel was disrupted in the lion's den, but he discovered a God who shuts the mouths of lions. The three Hebrew boys were disrupted in the fiery furnace, but they discovered a God who walks in the fire with you. Paul and Silas were disrupted in the Philippian jail, but they discovered that at midnight that praise can open doors. You might be in your night season, but if your life is disrupted, all you have to do is praise your way out of it. But I want to end here and go to Calvary and talk about a man by the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, that his assignment was disrupted, and he had to go to a cross called Calvary. And the Bible said that he goes to the Garden of Gethsemane and he's there and he told God, I would that you would allow this cup to pass from me, but nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done. He submitted to the plan of disruption and went to the cross. And the Bible said he hung there in between two thieves, and he laid his head in the locks of his shoulders and he gave his life up. And the Bible said he declared it is finished. And they took him and laid him in a borrowed tomb. But on the third day morning, somebody shout, On the third day morning, he got up with resurrection power in his head. What the enemy tried to disrupt, it began to discover for us who the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and our risen Savior is. It looked like a disruption, but it was really discovery. And I want you to know that whatever's been disrupted in your life, that God is gonna allow you to be just like Jesus. You're getting back up better than you ever was. You're gonna get up with more power than you ever had, and you will say it was God. God allowed it because the next level is now available for you. Psalm 46 says this God is my refuge and my strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Philippians 4 and 19 says, But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus. Hebrews 13 and 5 says, God will never leave you, nor will he forsake you. Even if your life is disrupted, you won't be by yourself. Isaiah 41 and 10 says, Fear thou not, for I am with thee. I will uphold thee with my right hand of righteousness. So we need to start praising God like we know who He is. We need to start praising God like we understand that this disruption is gonna allow me to discover another facet of my identity.
SPEAKER_02I'm finding her and I'm finding him. I'm stepping into my new role. I'm gonna be everything that's not spinning out. Nothing in the top. I'm going after everything that's not that I can have just from my family, but fucking people. Somebody should I'm born after everything. If I'm gonna stop, I might as well be all that God said I would be.
SPEAKER_00If I have to call every night, I might as well be everything that God said I would be. Glory to God. Somebody praise him. And I believe if this widow woman was here today, she would say, I started out in disruption, but I messed around and discovered who I was. I thought I was a housewife, but I found out that there was more to me. I'm a businesswoman, wealthy, setting up for my children and my children's children. And you're gonna leave here today, knowing that this disruption is giving you a testimony. And some of you are gonna say, I started out broken, but I ended up here. I started out lost, but I ended up found. I started out empty, but I ended up full. I started out bound. I started out and chained, but now I'm free. I got a story to tell. I got a testimony. He broke me out of darkness into the moment of light.
SPEAKER_02He set me up on high, and so my life was different glow. I was drinking, but he lifted me. I was weak, but he strengthened me. I was down, but he picked me up. He broke me out. That's the kind of God I serve.
SPEAKER_00He won't let disruption end my testimony. It doesn't end like that. He won't let it end until it's good. Somebody stop, he won't let it in until it's good.
SPEAKER_02Come on, one more time, he won't let it in. Until it's good. And I speak to you every bit of who you are. It's about the top and stuff, and you want to use that. Whatever you tell me to fall. Whatever you tell me. That's what I've done. Whatever you tell me the food. That's how I for the food. Whatever you trust is to be after the whole thing. I for the split. The name of my name of the line. I splashed him with my life. I splashed them with the next mic. I splashed him with the next.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna put my wife in the water. I'm gonna put this. I'm gonna put I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna put my hand to the flap.
SPEAKER_02I've got a flap. And hold it with both.
SPEAKER_00God will never allow disruption for punishment. The disruption that many of you are facing is because of promotion. It's uncomfortable. But it's producing the version of you that you've not met. One that can only be revealed through tension. One that can only be revealed in the crisis zone. But if you submit to God's way, you're gonna see that this next version of you is vital for the advancement of the kingdom of God. Some of us got too comfortable. And we were coasting. But God said, the kingdom is disruptive. He said, from the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom suffers violence. But the violent, take it by force. Why wouldn't disruption affect you? Because kingdom citizens are disruptive.
From Disruption To Discovery Patterns
SPEAKER_00We're not defensive, we're offensive. Because what kingdom people do is go and get what God said we could have. We we don't wait for it to drop in our laps. We posture ourselves to seize it. All you need to move on is a word, and you already have it. What does the word say about you? You're the head and not the tail. Blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed in your storehouse, blessed going in, bless going out. So the word is there. All God wants now is the work. When He gives you the Word, will you work? You're leaving out of here another version of yourself. And I believe throughout every service, all weekend long, you've tapped into levels of who you are. And even today, you feel the pull of God pulling you up, saying, son, come on up a little higher, daughter, come on up a little higher. You have work to do, and you have to understand that even if the enemy calls disruption for bad, God will turn it around and make it good. It's not over until it's good. God has a way of taking even bad situations and turning them around for your good. This is one thing the Lord told me. He said to the Israelites, I preached a message called Strike the Ground. He said, Everywhere that your foot treads, I've given it to you. And you guys have been declaring that you're possessing the land. When you looked that up in the Hebrew translation, it was literally meaning that there was a posture that if your foot hit a certain territory, that it automatically belonged to you. And he told them, When you walk it, strike the ground, and I'm gonna give it to you. And I'm not giving it to you just for yourself, I'm giving it to you as a part of my plan. So many of you you're wondering what is my movement? Just start walking. And everywhere that the soles of your feet take you, everywhere that the spirit leads you, God is giving it to you. Somebody shout, I know it's mine. Come on, one more time. I know it's mine. Now give God a praise. I know we're over in time. Hallelujah. Can you just praise God for the next version of yourself? I told the ladies this on Saturday. If you got a mirror in your purse, or when you get in your car or when you get home, look in the mirror because listen, you have become somebody new and you need to reintroduce yourself to you. I'm not the same person that I used to be. I'm not the mistakes that I made. God has now taken me to another level. Can you praise God for your next level? Come on, bless the name of our Lord.
