[Music] I had no idea when we started this voices series what would happen in the Middle East and in Israel a few months later I had no idea of the war and rumors of war and terrorism and terrorist attacks and genocide that our nation is not necessarily broadcasting on the news genocide on the other parts in the world which is just a sobering reminder that you and I are living in the last days we're living in the last days and this is why I've been preaching so passionately sweating out my clothes trying to give us biblical intelligence versus entertaining you to spiritual death see how we got a few claps I know the reason I've been preaching so hard and trying to give you biblical intelligence versus entertaining you to spiritual death is because what is about to come on the earth in the next few months and the next few years lukewarm Faith won't keep you please hear me lukewarm Faith won't sustain you casual Christianity it won't sustain you ordinary Christianity it won't sustain you going to the club on Saturday then coming to church on Sunday that won't hit anymore the hooker bar it won't hit anymore The Weave it won't hit anymore why am I preaching like this I must have miss y'all the hook a bar it won't hit anymore there is coming a Time on the earth that you will either be sold out or sellout period I understand fully why I was born 30 plus years ago when my mother on April the 28th was pushing an Agony me into the birth real I understand why I was born my purpose is to be one of the many voes es of the kingdom in the days of the great falling away that's why I was born that's why I have warm blood flowing through my veins is to be one of the many Kingdom voices in the days of a great falling away and that is already happening we saw with the pandemic and what is about to happen is there about to be a mass Exodus in many churches that aren't saying anything that are telling you you going to get a house in it's your season there's about to be a mass Exodus in churches that do not preach the gospel and then there's going to be a mass infiltration of houses having Bible studies small groups having Bible studies we won't have enough overflows we won't have enough overflows because people are going to want to know what in the world is going on where is God what does this mean is this prophecy being fulfilled I'm telling you prophetically God is about to allow a destabilization to hit everything you thought was stable talk Holy Spirit weather will destabilize governments will destabilize whatever you think that you have outside of Jesus he's going to allow it to destabilize to show you that the only stabilizing factor that you have is me it's not in your security system it's not in your 9 mm it's not in your 45 it's not in your root root rockweiler or your Pitbull trying to protect you the safest place that you and I could ever be is in the will of God had no idea what would happen in our world in just a few weeks when we started this voices Series so simply put play time is over I got to know God's voice settling season is over I feel this I got to know God's voice compromise is over I got to know God's voice somebody say I got to know it I got to know it so father in this moment we come before you thanking you for allowing us to see another day a day that we never saw before and a day that we will never see again for the gift of life we simply say thank you God we're praying for peace in Jerusalem in the Middle East we're praying that to comfort all of those who have lost loved ones we understand that as we get closer and closer to the end these things have to happen but let us not lose Faith let us be on the soldout Spectrum more than the sellout thank you that conviction is sweet to those who desire to get closer to you anoint my lips to be the PA system the soundtrack of Heaven I understand all of the study means absolutely nothing if you aren't magnified if you aren't glorified we're asking God that you breathe on our encounter we don't want just a service we want your presence we're asking that you do it and everybody who agrees to that prayer will just shout in the room amen amen are y'all ready for this tell I had no idea that this series is not just a spiritual academic is spiritually prophetic as we ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters begin to inaugurate and initiate the continuation of our voices series we've been in this thing for some weeks as we continue this conversation I must admit I'm a little biased I'm a little biased because this word on the day like out of every sermon in this series this one on today is going to hit different because you and I must exercise Extreme Caution and be careful who we lease our ear to when we are vulnerable say it one more time you and I must exercise Extreme Caution and be very careful who we are leasing our ear to when we are vulnerable it could be hazardous deleterious harmful downright life wrecking to extend your ear to the wrong Voice When You're vulnerable when you're wounded when you're being tested who has access to your ear when you're tired who has access to your ear when you're exhausted who has access to your ear when you get good news because if you give the good news to the wrong voice the wrong voice can vandalize you of Joy from the good news because what the enemy loves to do is for you to get a blessing but not feel blessed because something vandalized the Joy from the blessing who has your ear when you get good news who has your ear when you're overwhelmed who has access to your ear when you're horny y'all not talking to me who has access to your ear when you're about to make a destiny decision who has access to your ear when you feel like quitting and you're calling them because you don't know if you can stay married to the person that you're married to who has access to your ear when your singleness is feeling like a prison who has access to your ears when you're about to give birth to what God put on the inside of you please hear me be careful with who's trying to lend a hand while you're trying to give birth hear me and giving birth is a vulnerable position this is so good y'all giving birth is a vulnerable position any ladies in the room ever had a baby just raise your hand you had a baby okay any brothers have you ever been in the delivery room while she's having a baby okay those of us who haven't seen it man one of the most vulnerable positions a woman could ever be in is when she is about to give birth to life everything is exposed it's messy it's bloody some things I've never seen before I'm like my God some husbands pass out some husbands throw up sometimes while she's pushing she throws up sometimes while she's pushing she boo boos it's a very No Cap it's a very vulnerable position but I tell you every woman who has ever had a baby wants to know the person who is extending a hand to try to grab my child has some experience has some wisdom giving birth is a vulnerable position and as our world is experiencing birth pains somebody caught it as our world is experiencing birth pains Jesus told us Matthew chapter 24 verse 6 he says you will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed such things must happen but the end is still to come Nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom there will be famines and earthquakes in various places all these are the beginning of birth pains birth pains as our world is experiencing birth pains and giving birth is a vulnerable position see you probably didn't know this but everybody under the sound of my voice is pregnant men too all of us are pregnant with purpose the only reason that you are still alive right now please hear me for those who battle with Suicidal Thoughts the only reason that you are alive is because you have a purpose the reason you have a pulse is because God still has a plan the reason that you are still in the land of the living is because you have a purpose everybody under the sound of my voice overflow and watching online everybody is pregnant and if we were to give a name to our child I think the best appropriate name would be Destiny all of us are pregnant with the destiny therefore therefore you must be careful when you're feeling vulnerable with your destiny this is so good y'all you don't want the wrong hands trying to help you give birth to your destiny you don't want the wrong voices in your ear when you're trying to give birth to Destiny I'mma put my foot on the gas a little further so that you could greater understand what I'm attempting to articulate in 1847 through 1850 Dr igas Samu was puzzled this is him he was puzzled because he was wondering how in the world are five out of 1,000 women having deliveries at home and with midwives they are having a successful pregnancy delivery experience only five women out of a thousand would pass away but the top tier hospitals are experiencing death 10 to 20 times higher than somebody who's having a baby at home or that has a midwife so this is puzzling to him on why is this happening and how are they dying it was something called childbed fever childbed fever it would have mothers experience raging fever imuna PFF pus that was coming from the birth canal absess in the ab abdomen that would show up 24 hours after the baby was born and within 48 Hours the mother would die and this this epidemic of childbed fever was so great that Dr Samu was losing a third of his patience and so expecting mothers got Terri ified they started to call this the doctor's plague whatever those doctors are doing they killing us the doctor's plague now we understand that this is a bacteria hemolytic scripto cacus this is a bacteria that was happening and they didn't know it back then but he is looking and wondering why is it all of these women keep on dying and so the top tier doctors the top tier professionals the doc the top tier experts and surgeons they started to perform op Toops to try to figure out what is the cause of death why are these women dying so Dr samuelis is looking and he's wondering hm I'm noticing that the hospitals that don't have an autopsy Ward are having a higher success rate than those that do and so everybody medical students doctors everybody people flying in this is a true story research it he's really trying to figure out why in Europe and America a third of all of his expecting mothers would die and as they're doing these oopsies and trying to figure out what's going on a woman's water would break and they would rush and they would go to the delivery room and help this woman have her baby and then Dr samui's got it I know what's happening the same doctors and the same nurses that are performing the autopsy are the exact same doctors that are trying to help these women give birth so they're taking the bacteria of a dead thing they're taking the bacteria of a dead thing and putting it inside the womb of a live thing you better be careful who is trying to touch your baby when you're about to give birth to what God put on the inside of you it's possible that your friends are extending bacteria they're extending deadly bacteria with they playlist they're extending deadly bacteria with they drink y'all don't want to talk to me they're extending deadly bacteria by inviting you to happy hour they're giving deadly bacteria mask as advice and he noticed we are washing our hands we are touching the dead and then trying to help what's living just like some of us are in Christ still try trying to touch the dead thing still trying to touch the dead thing but we're praying for God to give us ease as we're giv birth to the live thing and Dr Samu said listen we must start washing our hands h we must start washing off that which has died before we try to help somebody give birth Earth to that which is alive see for them it was washing their hands but for us we're washed in the blood see but it's not just the blood that we need we also need the word the washing of the water through the word be careful who's trying to extend their hand to you when you're trying to give birth to obedience why do you have them in your bed when you trying to give birth to obedience that's not your spouse it's going to get tight up in here for about the next three minutes I know that you can protect your housing development by locking the doors at night but do you know how to protect your destiny that's the god-given purpose that you and I are supposed to give birth to while we're here in time I know that you can protect your wealth you put it in a banking institution you have a debit card with a pen that nobody knows about face ID or touch ID I know that you can protect your wealth but do you know how to protect your destiny that is your god-given purpose that you're supposed to give birth to while you're in time I know that you can protect your phone y'all should look at the neighbor on the left on the right and look how thick their phone case is some of us have privacy screen protectors oh what would my generation look like if we protected our soul like we protect prot our phones you got passwords private tabs screen protectors what if we charged our spirit as much as we charge our phone you will run if you got 1% but we can't get you to run to Jesus when tempted talk Holy Spirit talk you got backup charges how many of us have a charger in your car you have one in your purse you won't let your phone die but you'll let your spirit die first thing you ask around your friends y got a phone charger you got a phone charger wh what's your Wi-Fi you got a phone charger man my phone's about to die my phone's about to die and I bet the holy spirit is like your relationship is dying your intimacy is dying your passion is dying your devotion is dying your worship is dying your praise is [Applause] dying I know that you can protect all these natural things but do you know how to protect your destiny are you surrounded by people who have unwashed Spirits H when you don't know how to protect your destiny by default is to invite spiritual graffiti anybody can mark on your peace all it takes is one text anybody can mark on your passion all it takes is one person cutting you off on 290 anybody can anybody can mark up on your focus some of us you know what your stress is that's your spirit man asking how long are they going to have access to us how long are they going to continue to have access to us how long because you are allowing stress to live in your heart and your sanity is paying rent how long how long are you going to let them stress you out until you hit block how long are you going to allow this to stress you out until you hit unfollow you could choose who you follow how about follow Jesus in real life W I told you about two minutes I was a little longer I know so so he understood I'm having death because infected bacteria stained hands are trying to help somebody in a vulnerable position he talking to my barara about this yesterday he said bro that's so real cuz me and my wife got into it and I normally don't do this but I called and was speaking to my mom about it why did I do that she was saying stuff well just leave just do this baby and it was like no cuz if I were talking to you you wouldn't have said that you would have said what did you do bro you got to be patient love your wife like Christ of the church he was like yeah it's important who you talk to when you're upset because most of the time your flesh will try to find people who agree with [Music] you can't say Amen say ouch if the shoe fits tighten the shoelaces I want to speak around this thought from this subject I'm vulnerable right now I'm vulnerable right now I'm about to give birth to obedience I'm vulnerable right now I'm about to give birth to surrender I'm vulnerable right now can we talk family y'all didn't say nothing let me ask y'all can we talk family some of us have been Mis labling the inducing of God as a bad day some of us have been mislabeling I'm just in a rough season 2023 has been hard somebody said facts th yes th this has been hard hard or is it God inducing you because you have gotten comfortable in that which was supposed to be seasonal if I didn't cause you to be uncomfortable you would never change so I had to allow conditions oh I'm talking to somebody I had to allow conditions to get so uncomfortable because that was going to make you praise that was going to make you come to worship that was going to make you see seek my face you're not experiencing a bad day this is God inducing you this is God inducing you because what I have put on the inside of you has to come out let me say it the way the Holy Spirit gave it to me during sermon prep this week you have parked in places that you have been ordained to pass through talk Lord you are parking in places that you have been anointed to pass through you are building Tabernacles where you're supposed to build tents your marriage wasn't supposed to park there it was supposed to just passed through your mind wasn't supposed to park there it was supposed to just pass through you weren't supposed to allow your heart to get stuck on that offended this forgiveness and emotional intelligence was supposed to help you pass through you weren't supposed to die in the wilderness you were supposed to just pass through I had to induce you cuz if I didn't you would never change just like my doctor had to induce my wife when Melody wasn't coming out till around 40 weeks she said she has gotten comfortable in what sustained her for a season but it won't sustain her anymore it's actually limiting her so I have to induce I have to break your water so that she could break out of where she is in and experience a new dimension and what God is telling a lot of us you have gotten comfortable so your Brook has to dry up it has to dry up it has to dry up this is not just a bad day this is me inducing you a generation has to hear your obedience induce there's a platform I need you to be on so that they can hear my glory and see my glory induce there's a family cycle that you have to break induce there's a pattern that you have to break induce induce I'm made your Brook dry up on purpose do you have Bible to cooperate your claim yes I do come here Elijah I told you to go to Brook Cheri but later I dried up the brook because if I didn't dry up the brook you never would have asked the Widow what's in her house if I didn't dry up the brook you never would have had to Showdown on Mount carel if I didn't dry up the brook you never would have passed the Baton onto Elisha if I didn't dry up your Brook you wouldn't have got caught up due to a fiery Chariot to heaven so I had to dry up your Brook to get you to come out some of us God is calling you out that's why you're so uncomfortable and when you are in this uncomfortable place this vulnerable place be careful who is in your ear because hear me healing is not just about your routines it's also about the space you try to heal in if you try to heal in the same atmosphere that you got sick you will experience a relapse and then end up blaming God okay I'm going to show y'all this in scripture where y'all can see it but before we do this I want everybody to say this it's confession time it's confession time everybody watching I want you to put this in the room and all caps can I get us to say this I refuse I refuse to let wrong voices let our dirty hands our dirty hands have access to my destiny have access to my destiny I'm protecting this I'm protecting this one more time I refuse I refuse to let wrong voices let wrong vo our dirty hands our dirty hands have access to my destiny I'm protecting this everybody hit your stomach I'm protecting this I'm I didn't hear the clap say I'm protecting this when God put in your belly protect it you don't need to be talking to her 2 3 in the morning that's not protecting what God put in your bosom get him out your ear While You're vulnerable talking about I'm so lonely in my single season they're going to contaminate what God is preparing to send you because you're about to settle for the right now versus the right one protect this protect this this this biblical principle and biblical wisdom on being intentional with who you allow to have access to you when vulnerable can be seen all throughout the life and Ministry of Jesus Jesus had this life intelligence where he was intentional on who he would allow around him when he's vulnerable y don't believe me okay let me go aead and show you the Bible all right got several scriptures I want you to see Mark chapter 9 verse two Mark chapter 9 verse two it says after six days Jesus took everybody not what the Bible say I'm sorry I'm just need glasses Jesus took all the disciples Jesus Took Peter James and John with him and let him LED them up a high mountain so this is a high moment where they were all alone there he was transfigured before them okay Luke 8 verse 49 it says while Jesus was still speaking someone came from the house of gyrus the synagogue leader your daughter is dead don't bother the teacher anymore hearing this Jesus said to gyus Don't Be Afraid just believe and she will be healed when he arrived at the house of gyrus he let everyone in that's not what y' Bible says what's wrong with my eyes he he let all the disciples in is that what your Bible says y'all not talking to me is that what your Bible says I want y'all to read because a lot of people are getting deceived by the faith because they don't have pastors that teach you how to read the Bible for yourself and so when I say things you'll say amen and it's not biblical so pay attention to what I'm telling you he took everybody in the house no he did not let anyone go in with him he didn't let anyone go in you trying to go into a new season he didn't let just anyone go in with him except there MOS are again Peter John and James and the child's father and mother okay all right uh Mark Chapter 14 verse 32 it says and they went to a place called gethin and Jesus said to his disciples sit here while I pray he took all of them oh y'all read your Bible praise God he told his disciples y'all sit here and pray but he took Peter them dudes again Peter James and John along with him watch this family he leaves one group right here he takes another group over here and while he's there look what happens he began to be deeply distressed and troubled not around all of them but a few of them my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death who is he talking to he said to them Peter James and John my soul is overwhelmed to the point of death stay here and keep watch this same particular scenario in the Gospel of Luke chapter 22 verse 44 notice what happens when Jesus is under so much distress verse 44 in Luke 22:44 it says and being in agony he prayed more earnestly then his sweats became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground I taught us this before this is a medical condition called hermodr rois it's when you are under so much stress that you begin to sweat blood there have been studies of EMTs who have rescued well not rescued but took a a boy who drowned in an apartment pool from the bottom of the pool when they pulled him out the water sweat was coming down his forehead in the form of blood he must have been screaming with so much Agony under that water that he experienced hermanosis Jesus is showing me something that rocked me all week long I've been tripping over this since Tuesday he knew who to bleed in front of privately before he bleeded for everybody publicly he's fully God and fully man and he knows who I could show my Humanity to I know who to show my Human Side to everybody else if I showed them this part they might be like I thought he was the Messiah I thought he was the king of glory they only know the god part of me but these few I could show the humanity side of me you better be careful where you bleed somebody's probably like you better preach sir this is why I don't do church now this is why I'm only watching you online because the last Pastor I had I bled in front of them and they took advantage of me you all right preach and I want to challenge your perspective because wolves love blood watch out there will be false prophets among You Who Come dressed in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves wolves love blood maybe this is why certain Ministries pray on the hurting not p r a p r e because wolves love blood I'm sitting here looking at this text and I'm like man this is so powerful because remember when you are giving birth You're vulnerable and there is no way you can have birth without the shedding of blood Jesus is about to shed his blood which is going to allow us to experience a rebirth hope yall get this I hope y'all get this when a mother is birthing her child there is Bloodshed Jesus is birthing obedience so there's Bloodshed so we can be the children of Yahweh he was obedient until the cross death he was obedient but he was careful when he had to be obedient who he allowed to see him vulnerable some of us the reason you're so disobedient is because because the people you're telling that you need to be obedient too God is telling me to do this you're telling the disobedient about how you need to be obedient you're trying to seek advice from the disobedient about you being obedient well girl what you think you think I should stop having sex with him what you think she got like 40 bodies under the how many bodies she caught trying to tell you well girl you know you know every godly man got a test drive you know Brothers the same way too but brothers are a little different Brothers want to have a a high body count but one her have a low one make it make sense that's a whole another serice hold whole another sermon that wasn't my notes let me get back he's careful look look y'all he's careful with who he's allowing to see the vulnerable at his high moments Mountaintop he's intentional with who has access to him at his difficult anguishing moments he's intentional with who has access to him it's like Andrew I love you but you don't have access bro Thomas I love you you don't have access Judas you know I love you but you surely don't y'all laughing but we letting Judah see us bleed and then you wonder why when they make you bleed more what was wrong what happened that that's Judas you wash their feet but you don't allow them to be with you in the garden of Garden of Gethsemane because they're not one that will help you or understand your Humanity they pray on it if you study the life of Judas I'm sitting there thinking when this woman came in and was anointing Jesus feet he was like Judas said why why didn't we sell this to the poor this could have be this could be from for somebody else and he was a thief the whole time because Judas can't stand the the fragrance of Praise being poured on anybody else but himself when he was going to gyr's house he didn't let just anybody come in he says okay I need a certain group of people to come in here watch this if you want that to get up certain things have to get out I hope y'all are getting this a truth that is not articulated enough is when you follow Jesus it comes with the breakup stop trying to keep your ex and Jesus it don't work like that doesn't work like that when you come to Jesus it is always followed by a breakup when your relationship with God changes your relationship with sin changes when your relationship with God changes the way you view people changes what you're silent on changes we cannot be a fearful church and expect to assist in leading a Fearless generation we can't it is always followed by a breakup somebody say breakup break breakup the porn I got to breakup with it the weed I got to break up with it I know you don't want to but Jesus is not cool with you having idols and him stop staying in contact with your ex it's amazing we would want loyalty and we would not want our new lover to stay in contact with their ex but we want Jesus our new lover to be cool us staying in contact with our ex Idols you don't need to get high anymore I'm the most high I'm better than that your high is your attempt trying to run from a reality that is painful that you're trying to escape come to me all who are tired my high is better than that I I'm trying to get us to see that Jesus is intentional even before he does Miracles with who he allows in the room because when you follow Jesus it will always be followed by a breakup by a breakup by a breakup Pastor you don't understand no I do understand you want Jesus and them it's okay for you to fight for someone who you love but it's not okay for you to fight for someone to love you you got that Twisted that rejection issues see I'm I'm really going to deal with this in 2024 this rejection because I'm like man do you know the premise of our faith is all about rejection Jesus came to his people and the Chief Cornerstone the builders rejected he was rejected and we're stuck because we're rejected if the world hates you keep in mind they hated me first but this is the beauty of the Gospel in the end the rejected get accepted but if you're accepted by those who got rejected y'all don't want to talk to me listen I I could only be vulnerable with Peter James and John so I began to study these dudes okay what was it about those three anybody want that like what why why not Andrew why not Bartholomew why why not Thomas Peter James and John and I begin to remember John is the Beloved Jesus look John is kind of like every time he describes himself in his in his epistle he keeps on saying the one whom Jesus loved like right here John chapter 13 verse 23 it says John it says one of them the disciples whom whom Jesus loved was reclining next to him Simon Peter motioned to his disciples and asked which one he means because Jesus had just told them somebody's going to betray me then John leaning back against Jesus certain translations say leaning on jesus' breast you have to be close to a dude to lean on his chest hey I know it ain't me which one of these heers going to R leaning like you got to be close to a dude nothing nothing kinky about it if Warren leans back on my chest cool it's my brother-in-law I ain't got no problem just what's up you know torren does it we Brothers somebody else I don't know you bro I love Jesus the bad B B B you know he was close enough Jesus laying next to him he could lean on his chest cuz John is the brother who loves now James is all about character building if you read the Epistle of James it starts off by talking about you need to be strong when you're going through trials and temptations James chapter 2 speaks about favoritism and faith without works is dead then James chapter 3 he's talking about taming the tongue and there shouldn't be bitter water and sweet water coming from the same well you shouldn't be blessing and cursing people out that's not Christlike he's a character something about his personality Jesus referred to the to these two brothers as the sons of thunder James didn't play they went to a town that didn't receive them he went to Jesus and said hey let's call fire to come down from heaven and burn up the town they don't want to obey us Jesus Is Like Son Of Thunder listen I come to save lives not destroy them so James is all about that character building James chapter 1 vers2 starts off consider it a pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face Trials of many kinds he's a builder of your faith now my boy Peter though Peter stay strapped Peter was like y y'all going to arrest Jesus okay B bet I got your back what we about to do who said what they don't you know when dud start walking like this Peter was about that life until he saw Jesus getting beat then he was like I don't bleeping know him I told you I don't bleep and mess with him after Jesus rose from the dead Peter's that rock he's that rock rock well listen Okay uh you lied to us ananas y'all lying both of y'all going to drop dead Peter is a protector I want y'all to see this this this chart because I'm looking at the people that Jesus chose to share his most intimate moments with Peter James John watch this y'all he has a brother who loves a brother who builds and a brother who protects right all right this is so good y'all When You're vulnerable your John is going to love you bro you know I got you man it's going to be okay John he has that gift of Mercy just like man I I got you I mean I'm I'm sitting there thinking about all of these people the famous most famous scripture in Christendom John 3:16 for God so loved the world John is a lover I I want y'all to identify three voices of God then Carl put the chart back on in a second I want y'all to identify this because this is going to help you three voices of God the directional voice of God the cautioning voice of God and the comforting voice of God I want y'all to get this the directional voice of God the cautioning voice of God and the comforting voice of God okay somebody say it with me directional voice of God directional voice of God cautioning voice of God cautioning voice of God and comforting voice of God comforting voice of God okay your directional voice of God now you can put the chart back up Carl um the the directional voice of God is when God has given you instructions and directions about your future and your calling one of my other Pastor friends Darius Daniels he said this a few weeks ago so powerful he says God gives you just enough to secure your yes he doesn't tell you everything because if he told you everything You' be like I ain't doing that God nope nope he gives you just enough directions and information to secure your yes because if we be honest if we knew everything that would come with Walking With Jesus a lot of us would say no but he gives you just enough to secure your yes your your your James this is the person that's most likely goingon to give you directions hey bro this is how you need to manage your budget they're probably kind of firm okay last month we dealt with this we right here again remember Son Of Thunder this is what we need to do see the beauty about a Peter a James and a John is they all have different gifts see I believe this is what why God gave us all different gifts so that you would need people you don't have all the gifts we're many members of one body so God made sure you're a pinky so that you have to have an index finger you're an index finger cuz you got to have a wrist you're a wrist because you have to have a forearm if you had all of it you wouldn't need nobody so he gives all of us different gifts so that we all can complete the body so stop saying I'm good alone you're just a pinky ma'am you just a pinky well yeah Pastor ski weat you remember in college no no I'm not talking about that you are incomplete without the body you only got some gifts but you don't have all the gifts your your James is the person that's going to be direct so now it makes sense why God really really causes for us to all need each other hear me this also makes sense why the devil wants you to be isolated because you'll only be a pinky and it's hard to fight back when all you have is a pinky directional voice of God the cautioning voice of God is when God warns you so for those who are like man I I really want to know if God is warning me peace will be absent PE see even when it looks bad he will give you peace that surpasses your understanding so it don't make sense why I have peace when it's God when it's not God the biggest red flag he gives is the absence of his peace and so we will start to feel A unsettling a uneasiness in our soul this like me I'm never I never was a good liar ever my son Jay has it he'll do something bad I'm like did you do it yes and he be like well well what happened what happened wait Dad listen what happened just just just tell the truth me if I start I I'll start sweating all hard my hands get all clamming my voice start cracking I just just not just not me it it's the cautioning voice of God this is going to be your peter your peter prove it okay First Peter chapter 2 verse 11 dear friends I warn you look how he's writing I warn you as temporary residents and foreigners to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very Soul First Peter chapter 5 verse 8 be alert are y'all catching this I love when the Bible compliments his own self be alert and sober mind your enemy the devil prows around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour to devour so Peter is going to probably speak to you the voice of cautioning now he about that life though so you got to be careful with Peter Cuz Peter like listen we going to pray we going to remain in Christlike character but if they try something though somebody say cautioning cautioning all right now John is he's just he's just that comforting and so now I'm looking like man this is so brilliant I'm vulnerable with brothers who love me I'm vulnerable with brothers who build me up and I'm vulnerable with those who protect me what if those were your like that was your standard before you get vulnerable before I listen to their voice do they love me before I listen to them do they build me before I listen do they have a resume of protecting me or do they always tell me what I want to hear do they take advantage of me because if they constantly take advantage of me you might be talking to Judas looking at the Brilliance of Jesus and who he is vulnerable with can help you hear the voice of God clearer when you are vulnerable now these next few points are going to mess you up okay so what do you do when you're vulnerable number one understand the power of transparency did y'all online you should see how quiet it is in here you must understand the power of transparency when you are giving birth that's your most vulnerable moment but you have to be okay with allowing certain people in the room while you're giving birth and our hospital was just me only person can be in the room is the husband the daddy that was it and I'm holding tanisha's hand telling her thank you so much for giving me another son how are you feeling I'm rubbing her head saying thank you so much I start talking about different things and they'll like oh that's that's so sweet keep talking to her keep talking to her because I know it's painful but the voice in Her Ear is helping her get through it pictures were taken never posted them that's just for me and her this is a I don't want the world to see this but we will capture and remember this moment so Jose mesiah anytime you ever talk back look at this picture bro you must understand the power of transparency Galatians chapter 6 verse2 says share each other's burdens whoa and in this way obey the law of Christ you can't share a burden we don't know I'm just going through a lot I bet you are with your alone self I bet you are with your isolated self you love football can't wait to watch the game have you noticed when they hurt they have somebody holding them off the field why are you trying to limp on your own the body is a army I know you're a soldier but you are a part of an army stop trying to fight against Villages as a soldier go as a baton understand the power of transparency this really going to mess us up number two find a community watch this you can't find Peter James and John without being around other disciples make it make sense if they're 12 if you only have one you can't be around any other disciples if you're cutting off everybody our cut off game is so strong you cutting Peter James and John too I I I just don't do people okay well people are going to be doing you because when you vulnerable you can't fight back well but when you have a Peter who has your back when you have a John that says hey that's out of character bro I mean James that's out of character bro when you have a John who's loving you there's a well-roundedness of you being a follower of Jesus but you can't find Peter James and John without being around disciples so everybody who only does online I understand people people claim this to be their church but you need a community you don't have Peter James and John just watching me you don't you only are receiving the gift of teaching that I have that I'm giving into you so that you can grow but you need a Christian Community so that when I'm not there you have a Peter James and John you can't call me you need a Peter James and John where you can call and wisdom Is Knowing When You're vulnerable and which one to call I need to hit up John I don't need I don't need to hit up I don't need to hit up James right now cuz I abuse the relationship I don't need him talking about okay we T in the tongue I need John man God I love you bro I need that right now that's wisdom find a community number three let no sin have secrecy talk Holy Spirit no sin no sin and if if it were me if I'm struggling with a sin I'm going to go to John first I'm going to go to John he's going to love me but he's also going to tell me okay also understand Jesus died for that and that separates us his tone is a little different that that separates us okay so life is harder when we're trying to do things the world's way you you talked to James this shouldn't be this shouldn't be okay you talk to Peter he's like listen you going to have to watch out for the devil man be on your guard be alert we're not confused about the Ws of the enemy but I need all three you struggle so much cuz nobody knows you're struggling so much nobody knows so John didn't have a chance to Love You Through It James doesn't have a chance to build you through it and Peter doesn't have a chance to protect you through it and so what many people do you put all that weight on the pastor when Pastor has many sheep to look after yes I can help you but you need more than Sunday you need more than this life on life is Peter James and John walking through it with you I'mma walk through it with you and wash your but I'm sure there's stuff you going to tell John that you won't tell me last Point number four discover constant God condu constant God conduit break that down you constantly hear a word from God through this person constantly it just happens a lot that's what that's what makes you join a local church like when people say things like pastor I promise you read my messages my emails how did you know it's because God is showing you where you grow he's showing you your kingdom family you will get edified here every every sermon voices planted trap High all of them touching you this is your family because they speak to you in the areas you need to grow constant God cond doing you know that home girl don't constantly speak the language of God you know that and you know when you don't want to hear Godly wisdom you call her let's tell the truth remember transparency the power of it you call her when you know the god conduit call him reach out to him because it's dangerous for you to try to give birth when the wrong voice is in your ear and this Brilliance that Jesus is showing us even the king of glory was intentional with vulnerable moments why aren't we if Jesus Jesus needed it why don't we and this right here is a compass where am I vulnerable James Peter John I don't have them get in community because you can't find him without being around other disciples was this good this good yeah I think one of the most critical moments of my life was when my mom my dad they told me two critical moments we're going to give you a service 2019 I had enough wisdom then to know not to post it I promise Peter James and John is not on Instagram Facebook s you're telling a god instruction to the world Jesus didn't allow the world in the Garden of Gethsemane he allowed his disciples but he said I'm overwhelmed to three and you going to tell Facebook I'm overwhelmed that's not the place you bleed that's not the place you bleed I want you to have a service I didn't say anything I came in here immediately I began to pray and it wasn't Thou Art the holiest I was God this ain't going to work that's how I talk to God I don't I don't do the thou art this ain't going to work why would you give me the back end of the stick I'm supposed to do this then I listen to my wife Jared why don't you just try it my sister was more like Peter let's go bro let's go jar people going they gonna get blessed come on we got you what if I would have took that to Thomas or Judas you wouldn't be here you are sitting in the wisdom of making sure I use my vulnerable moment to the right Source other moment was when I married my wife I asked my parents about it they knew what I was going to do I knew I was going to be a pastor so they were able to speak from a unbiased perspective they were able to speak from a destiny perspective you are asking people in Disobedience about what to do with your destiny you want to talk to somebody who's walking in Destiny steps because it's going to be hard for you to take Destiny steps with dysfunctional people trying to give y'all wisdom family God please help us to not allow this word to be a flash fire word I pray for healing for everybody who doesn't want to do life and doesn't want to do community because of the trauma that they've experience from other places help them recognize a bad representation isn't the whole view of Christianity the same way like if a bad singer sings one of our favorite songs we don't blame the artist help us to stop blaming you for bad represent for bad representation show us our community our Peter James and John God we will not have a stillborn Destiny give us the strength to push through the pain push through the comments push through the critics and give birth to what you put on side on the inside of us we're asking that you do it in Jesus name and everybody who agrees with that prayer would you say amen amen
