Podcast Summary: "Get In Position" – Touré Roberts

ONE | A Potter’s House Church
Date: February 23, 2026

Overview

In this powerful sermon episode, Pastor Touré Roberts explores the prophetic message: “Get in Position,” focusing on spiritual alignment, the significance of timely divine moments (kairos), and the process God uses to shift us into alignment with our unique calling. Drawing from Haggai 2 and Romans 8, Pastor Touré calls the congregation to embrace discomfort and the ‘shaking’ in their lives—not as punishment, but as God’s method to move them into authentic alignment and greater glory.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Prophetic Significance of the Date: 2/22 (Kairos Moment)

• Kairos vs. Chronos:
  • Chronos – chronological, regular time
  • Kairos – divinely appointed, opportune spiritual times
• Why 222?
  • The number two represents witness, agreement, and alignment in Scripture (e.g., two or three witnesses, the disciples sent in pairs).
  • “[Today] is 2, 2, 2. … For me, 222 represents kairos.” (02:21)

2. Scriptural Foundation: Haggai 2 and the Promise of Greater Glory

• Haggai 2:6-9:

  • God promises to “shake the nations” and bring people to what they truly desire (God Himself as the ‘desire of nations’)
  • The “latter glory” (future outpouring of God’s presence and purpose) will be greater than the former, signaling a coming movement and awakening.

• Quote:

  • “The temple wasn't really about the temple. It was all about the glory of God.” (09:27)

3. The Glory of God and Spiritual Alignment

• Definition:

  • “Alignment is when everyone and consequently everything is lining up as God purposed before the world began.” (19:58, 20:16)

• Manifestation of Glory:

  • God’s glory is revealed where there is alignment—i.e., when people are moving in step with God’s will, individually and corporately.

• Quote:

  • “…the more aligned I am, the more glory I manifest, and the more glory I manifest… It pushes back what's holding back.” (21:22)

• Glory as Solution:

  • “You are the answer to the chaos that you see. Because the true glory of God literally brings order where there was disorder.” (13:07)

4. The Universe, Creation, and Human Identity

• Clarifying God vs. the Universe:

  • Some confuse the ‘universe’ for God because God’s glory is inherent in all creation, but creation is not God.
  • “The universe is just the mailman. The mailman did not create the check…” (17:54)

• Creation Awaits Authentic Sons (Romans 8:19):

  • All creation is eagerly waiting for the “revealing of the children of God”—for believers to manifest their true, God-given identities.

5. Shaking as Pathway to Alignment and Promotion

• Shaking Introduced:

  • God shakes people and circumstances to move them from comfort and misalignment into true spiritual position.
  • Shaking feels like disruption, but is meant to remove what’s not truly part of us or God’s plan for us.

• Quote:

  • “The shaking is not there to remove what's you. The shaking is there to remove what's not you. … Because we've been not us longer than we've been us.” (40:54, 41:44)

6. Embracing Discomfort: Letting Go of the Old for the New

• Many cling to old, broken, or comfortable patterns out of fear of discomfort, even at the cost of growth.
• “We're content with misaligned, cracked, broken unprofitable comfort than being uncomfortable for a little while for the sake of alignment.” (34:16 – 34:38)
• Let things that don’t fit break and fall away; don’t try to reassemble what God is purposefully dismantling.

7. Role of the Holy Spirit in Alignment

• The Holy Spirit is our guide and the “train” of alignment.

• “The Holy Spirit is the vessel that carries you in and to alignment.” (35:23)

• To stay aligned, don’t grieve the Holy Spirit—which happens when we resist its truth and nudges.

• Quote:

  • “You have to come to a point where you make a decision. Either you gonna grieve or the Holy Ghost is gonna grieve.” (38:17)

8. Discipline of Yielding to God’s Process

• Alignment is maintained through humility, discipline, focus, and willingness to yield to (sometimes painful) correction.
• The journey is ongoing: “From level to level, or what the scriptures call faith to faith and glory to glory, to get more and more into alignment.” (29:20)

9. Authenticity Triggers Destiny

• Only the authentic, aligned “you” can command the destiny God has built for you.
  • “Creation will not respond to a fake you… It is waiting for the revealing, the manifestation of the sons—not who you think you are, who God knows you are.” (45:35 – 45:40)
• The metaphor: Creation scans us like biometrics—only the real, aligned self can ‘unlock’ doors to purpose and provision.

10. Invitation and Call to Action

• Invitation to Deeper Relationship with Holy Spirit:
  • “I want to invite you to embrace the shaking. I want to invite you to embrace the Holy Spirit in the shaking.” (44:29)
• Commitment to Alignment:
  • Full participation in this kairos moment requires yielding, letting go of old attachments, and stepping into new spiritual disciplines.
