I started a conversation last week called I See Angels and God moved upon us in a powerful way. And we're going to continue in that vein. The scripture that will anchor this in, although we're going to be moving through scripture quite a bit today, is 1st Samuel, chapter 16 and verse 13, it says, then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him. David anointed him. David in the midst of his brothers. And the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah. Let's pray. Lord, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. God, I thank you for what you've intended for us today. Your word, God. It is a lamp unto our feet, it is a light unto our path. God, send your word that we might eat to the full, that the Word would strengthen us, edify us, align us, God, for the work, for the assignment that you've called us to. We love you so much and we're so grateful for your word now. God, I thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight, knowledge and prophecy and full access to heaven's resources, God, to be a blessing to your sons and daughters both near and far. And my prayer is that we will leave here changed, seeing better, more accurately, and as a result of that, moving more circumspectly. We love you, God. Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Please say something kind. Bless somebody before you take your seat. Let's go to work. I always like to give a bit of a recap what I'm continuing in on a message just in case you weren't here or there was something that was communicated that you missed. And so I'm going to do that for a moment or two. Last week we started off by talking about how we are in a season where we need clarity and boldness unlike ever before. I mean, we have got to be clear. There is so much confusion, there is so much manipulation. In fact, as it relates to manipulation, most of the best selling books over the past five to 10 years are basically books about how to manipulate you. Are you hearing the words that are coming out of my mouth? In other words, when you get up in the morning, people have a strategy on how to get you to do what they want you to do. So you're just, you know, you're just moving through life, you're doing your own thing or whatever and you're making decisions and choices and not realizing. Watch this. That even the tech companies at the highest levels, and if you're in tech, you know what I'm Talking about at the highest levels, their programmers, their research is all about getting you to respond the way that you they. The way that they want you to respond. Do you think it's a coincidence that you can't put your phone down? Do you think that that just happened by happenstance? No. There's a strategy to manipulate you because we are in an attention economy. In other words, I make money off of making you look. And I'm using. Watch this. I'm talking about what's happening. Look, I'm just trying this free game. I'm trying to let you know that there is a strategy out there to manipulate your thinking. And that's why we have to be clearer now than we have ever been before. Because just because something feels urgent doesn't mean it's anointed. The system has been rigged in such a way that will make you think that because you're drawn to it strongly, it must be God. No, baby. So we're in a time where we have never ever needed to be more clear than the moment that we are in right now. Clearer than ever before. And you'll hear me talking about clarity all year long. But not just clarity, but boldness. See, you can't be bold if you don't know what you're being bold about. I gotta say that better. Boldness is the byproduct of true clarity. When I can see right, I can be bold. Because I know in whom I believed. I know in whom I've trusted and I know in whom or I know what the one I've trusted has said. Are we tracking? So. So clarity is when it fully matures. It takes you beyond just believing, but it takes you to this thing called knowing. Believing will get you to heaven. Thank God for that. By grace, we are saved through faith. And it's a gift of God. We shouldn't boast about that. Belief gets us into heaven. But knowing gives you the power to bring heaven on earth. Because the reason why you are still here is because there is an expression, a pre determined expression of the kingdom of heaven that you carry. And when you know that you know that you know that you are carrying something, it brings boldness. And you are able to bring on earth as it is in heaven. Are you tracking with me this morning? So? So I'm moving. I'm moving past believing. Believing is sufficient for heaven. It is insufficient for destiny. Oh, you don't like that. That's why the disciples said, lord, I believe. But they didn't stop there. They said, help my unbelief my belief isn't the issue. It is just deficient. And for what's on my life, I've got to move from believing to knowing, baby. Because when I move from believing to knowing, I stop hesitating and I start flowing. Are you tracking with me? The Bible says that. That those who. It doesn't say that those who believe their God shall be strong and shall do great exploits. That ain't what the Bible says. The Bible says those who know their God shall be strong and shall carry out great exploits. And that context, that's Daniel 11:32. The context of that was in the last days, where there's gonna be a lot of movement, a lot of acceleration. The Bible talks about the people going to and fro. Remember that? People going to and fro. So in this time, Daniel is, prophetically speaking, into who you're gonna have to be in the last days, where things are moving fast, things are changing and shifting. And he says, don't you worry about that. Those who know Misha, they're gonna ride the wave, and they're gonna carry out great exploits. Knowing is the highest level of faith. That's where I want to get to the highest level of faith, increase my faith. And it happens through the evolution of how you see. Are we tracking. So clarity is not just about being clear. This is where we went last week. Clarity is not just about being clear, but it is about you having the ability to. To see differently, to see differently. And then we talked about how seeing is a process. It's a You. You evolve in your seeing, right? You go from seeing to believing to knowing. And. And we looked at Nicodemus. Remember, we looked at Nicodemus's journey, right? We touched on Nicodemus, his conversation with the Lord. And we saw Nicodemus moving from, you know, this. This little. I won't call him timid, but he was certainly creeping at night. He didn't want to be seen with Jesus. So he comes to him by night because he had seen something, feel the Holy Ghost. And he couldn't deny that he had seen something, but that seeing did not turn to belief yet. So he sneaks. Comes to him by night after seeing something. He's asking Jesus a whole bunch of questions. And Jesus is saying, man, this is not gonna happen the way you think it's gonna happen. You. You think that you're gonna masterclass your way into this. You think that you're going to intellectualize yourself into this. And Jesus says, no, baby, it don't work like that. You must be Born again. In other words, something spiritual must happen. And then when we look at Nicodemus life, he goes from that moment where he is seeing and he's seeking Jesus, he's trying to figure it out, until later on you see him starting to get bolder. And he was in a meeting and they were plotting on how they would kill Jesus. And Nicodemus kind of rises up in a voice of dissent and basically begins to argue. You know, essentially, I'm going to paraphrase, he begins to argue saying, well, is it right for us to do this to someone without due process? Which at the time was a very bold thing to do. Because you know how it is when you got 30, 40 people around you saying one thing and they are committed to doing that. You rising up, that, come on, it kind of puts you. You begin to look like an outsider. So we see Nicodemus growing in his seeing. So much so that now he goes from creeping by night, not wanting to be associated with Jesus, to now in the middle of the Sanhedrin Council. He is beginning to stand up for Jesus, but he didn't go all the way. He didn't come all the way out the closet. He just. He just peaked a little bit. But then you see him after Jesus now has been crucified, which now is an even more dangerous time to be associated with Jesus. Now you look at what happens to people who associate with Jesus and we see Nicodemus standing up and he brings anointing things to anoint Jesus body with. He's carrying him. He is fully and complete. He doesn't care about who's looking. All the miracles are gone. He doesn't care anything about that.
A
He.
B
He is now fully associating himself with Jesus, come what may. And we talked about how he was so, so faithful and committed to the purposes of Christ that there is an un. A sanctioned, if you would, gospel of Nicodemus. It did not make it into the canon, but somebody thought enough of him to write it. So we talked about how seeing is a process. I was even thinking about Jesus when. When Jesus was baptized, you know, when John wanted to keep him from being baptized and Jesus said, no, I need to do this. The Bible says when he came up out of the water, it says he saw. He saw the Holy Spirit alighting upon him. It doesn't say simply that the Holy Spirit, it says he saw. So even Jesus himself, it can be argued that he evolved in his scene. Don't play with me if you struggle with that. We can go back to when he was 12 years old in the temple. The Bible says that he was. Watch this. Both speaking and asking questions. Why do you ask questions if you're not. Come on. And then he grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and with man. So Jesus, to a certain degree, fully God and fully man. The man version of him had to grow. I feel the Holy Ghost had to grow up into who he was called to be. So even Jesus had a process. Are we tracking Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1? We're going to get to the good stuff in a minute. Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1, as he is speaking to believers, which means that they saw something and they ultimately believe something. But he says, but God's not finished with you. He says that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened. And he starts talking about that you might perceive what the riches of the kingdom. And he describes the kingdom. So Paul is saying to a church that he established, I know you believe, but there's more. Just do me a favor. Turn to your neighbor and say, there's more. There's more. We talked about Elijah's servant. You remember that in Second Kings, and how his eyes were closed and he couldn't understand. He was in the heat of the battle, and he couldn't understand why Elijah has so much peace, even though they were in the exact same situation. One was fretting and saw defeat. The other one was chilling and he perceived what the problem was. He says, your eyes ain't open. Yeah, because if your eyes was open, you'd be chilling like me. So he discerned what the problem was and then. And then intercedes for him. He prays for him and he says, God, will you please open his eyes? I feel the Holy Ghost. I'm praying that you have people around you who have open eyes. I feel the Holy Ghost. Don't get mad at him. Just. Just pray that God would open their eyes. So Elijah. Elijah prays, and God opens the servant's eyes. And the servant, boom. He's like, oh, my God. God. He began to see that. That it previously had looked like the enemy was surrounding him. But God's camps, his host of angels, were actually surrounding what was surrounding him. Feel the Holy Ghost. We're gonna have a good time today. Cannot wait. So that was important. We talked about why that was so important is because if you don't really know what your resources are, you will be fighting with the wrong weapons. See, See, this is bigger than just victory or defeat. This has to do with how you move and how you fight. See, if you don't realize that there are angels backing you up. If you don't realize that the angel of the Lord encamps around about those that fear them. If you don't realize that if God before you, then who can be against you, then you will start fighting with carnal and natural weapons. Watch this. Which brings you down to the level of your opponent. Hey, Paul taught us we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, spiritual wickedness and heavenly places. Some of you are fighting a spiritual battle using earthly weapons and cannot figure out why the battle just continues. But I hear the Lord saying, when you take the sword of the spirit, when you. Which is the word of God, when you begin to open your mouth and pray and decree a thing, you are going to annihilate your enemy in three seconds flat. If that's your word, give God a shout. You got to know what your tools are. They're angels connected to your prayer life. You don't want heaven to have to lay off angels because you ain't praying enough. No, they're angels. You get in alignment with God. There are literally angels assigned to the purposes of God on your life. Are you tracking with me? I can give you all kind of Bible about that. You remember Joshua and this is somewhere, I think Joshua, chapter four or six. Four somewhere. Read your whole Bible, you'll find it. But he's getting ready to take the territory. He's getting ready to take the land. He's getting ready to take the territory. And he walks up on this what looked like a man with a sword in his hand. And Joshua says, are you for me or against me? And the angel said, neither. But I am the captain of the host, of the army of the living God. In other words, I'm committed to the purposes of God. Meaning that if you are in alignment with God, I got angels that will ensure your victory. Just turn to your neighbor and say, I see angels. We'd be fighting with inferior weapons. Shah, it's bigger than you. Watch this. If you don't make it about you, You will recognize that it's bigger than you. There's more with you than with him. And so anyway, that's a little bit of what we touched on last week. If you weren't here last week, listen to it on our podcast or go to YouTube and watch the video. Today, I want to talk about how God changes what we see. I like practical stuff like I will release the word, right? But Then I also like to teach on how to walk out that word and apply that word. So today I want to talk about the how and to lean more into the how now. But before we talk about how, let me just level set here really quickly and let me tell you what this is, not this. Jesus made it simple when he was talking to Nicodemus. He made it very simple that this is something that is spiritual. So you can't pay for it. You remember In Acts chapter 18, they tried to pay for the oil. You can't pay for it. You can't intellectualize yourself in this. I'll tell you right now. So if you're trying to perceive this with your head, forget, don't flow like that. Some things are taught, other things are caught. Are you tracking anybody? Gonna catch something today? So you can't intellectualize into the spiritual reality. You can't buy it, you can't hustle up on it. There's not seven steps to seeing better. It doesn't happen that way. We need the Holy Ghost. Are you tracking with me? So when Nicodemus is struggling with trying to understand how these things can be his, how, when he was trying to say how, how, how, Jesus says, you must be born again. And then when he is still perplexed, Jesus begins to give the metaphor or the analogy of the wind. You remember that in John chapter three and just read verses five to eight. I'm going to paraphrase and tell you what it says. He says, basically says, he says, it's like the wind. He says, you don't know where it's coming from, and you don't know where it's going. But you can't deny it. He says, so are those who are born of the Spirit. In other words, you don't know how the wind happens. You don't know where it comes from, and you don't know where it's going to go when it leaves you. But one thing you know is that the wind hits you. He said, that's how going to be. Are we together? And so I want to talk about how I want to maybe bring us into a case study. And we're going to make David the case study, okay? Because we know that David's eyes got changed. Let's look at what happened. So we go to First Samuel, chapter 16. We together still. Okay? First Samuel, chapter 16, it says, then Samuel took the horn of oil. So we weren't talking about cute little anointing things that we have, you know, you know, nice compact pocket size anointing. You know, little vials, be about this big or whatever. You can anoint about two people with it, and you have to get a new one. This is not. This is not how he was anointed. Bible says he took a horn.
A
A.
B
Horn of oil, and he anoints David with it. Meaning he takes this horn and he pours the oil on his head, then takes his hand and smears it upon his head. This was dramatic. It wasn't a cute thing that we do. Nothing wrong with it. You know the cute thing that we did a little bit, this. That's wonderful, right? Because this is all symbolic anyway. But back then, watch this. He got it poured on him, poured on him, then smeared into him that which was poured upon him. And it's interesting, that word, it says Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the spirit of the Lord came upon David after this was poured onto him and smeared unto him. The Bible says the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. In other words, something shifted right then. He. He wasn't anointed at the time of the battle. He was anointed before the battle. And the fact that he was anointed shifted his perspective, preparing him to see differently. Can I walk this out slowly? When it says that the spirit of the Lord came upon David, that word came is an interesting Hebrew word. And the word literally means to push forward. To push forward. And so, so, so visually, once the oil is poured upon him, smeared upon him, the spirit of the Lord comes upon him. But it doesn't come to sit, it comes to push him forward. Feel the Holy Ghost, to push him. Anybody ever felt God push, push you? In other words, I can't help but. But to go, God will push you. And one of the ways that you are pushed is by him changing your sight. Track with me. Track with me. So, so, so, so, so, so his sight, it didn't just come on David, right? The spirit. The spirit recollection recalibrated. Rather, it recalibrated how David interpreted reality. You gotta catch this. So it's not just family. See, we think that the spirit is simply this power thing. So I'm gonna be strong, powerful, and that's part of it, right? You receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, but what the Spirit does when he comes upon you is he recalibrates your sense of reality. There's a difference because you can feel powerful and not see, right? Hello, somebody? There is a recalibration of reality when the Spirit is poured upon you in that way. And this is why David saw differently from. From Saul, from Israel, from the army. They were seeing defeat. Saul was seeing liability. Oh, my God, I'm in trouble now, right? But David, watch this. Saw a dead man walking. He already saw Goliath on the ground with his head cut off before he even showed up to the battle. And David, being an astute businessman, begins to start. He starts negotiating. See, if you know business, when you have an inside tip, you start negotiating. Well, what shall be given to the man who breaks off this giant? So he negotiates in advance because he already saw the enemy dead, he knew the fight was fixed. This was a win win, baby, because his eyes had been recalibrated. Are we tracking? When the spirit was poured out upon him, from that day forward, his courage changed, his confidence changed. All of that, because his vision changed. And not only that, he was so convinced by what he saw that when Saul tried to give him Almighty King Saul, when Saul tried to give him his armor, David said, I don't need that. I don't need nothing in addition to what I already have because I already see him dead. David didn't even have to take the five smooth stones. He could have just walked up to him, breathe on his forehead, and he would have fell because the battle. Oh, you better catch what I'm saying. It wasn't about them slingshots. It was about the fact that he was going down. Baby, I don't need your armor. See, when you see right, when you see right, you will recognize that you are more than enough. Baby, I feel God. There's somebody under the sound of my voice. And you don't think you're ready. You don't think you have enough. You think you need this approval and that approval. You think you need more money. You think you need this person on your side. But I hear the Holy Ghost saying, I am getting ready to change your eyes. And you are going to realize that you are more than enough. Just say more than enough. I got everything I need. Hallelujah. I'm sufficient for the task. Somebody needs to let that sink in because the enemy has been lying to you. There have been generational curses, things spoken over you, and you've been fighting, trying to feel like you are enough. But God is getting ready to change your eyes. You are getting ready to see differently. You are getting ready to see yourself like God sees you. You are ready. We got to walk this out. Got to walk this out. You are more than enough. I feel God. And when you get this revelation. And when you have this encounter, you're going to begin to move and do great exploits. I hear the Lord saying, you are not waiting on great exploits. Great exploits are waiting on you. The real you, not the you that you think you are, the you that you know you are. All of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons and the daughter of God. Oh, I cannot wait. I cannot wait to pray for about 5,000 people that God would open your eyes unlike ever before. Some of you, God's gonna change your sight. And that thing that looked like a mountain is gonna look like spoil. It's gonna look like spoil. That giant is gonna look like your stuff in an instant, in the moment, in the tweaks of an eye, you're gonna go from victim to victor. In Jesus name, if that's you, give God a radical crazy roar. It's happening while I'm preaching. It's happening while we worshiped. It's happening. You get new eyes, baby. New eyes for the journey. Hallelujah. New eyes for the journey. New eyes in my. For new eyes. Holy Ghost Lasik. Holy Ghost Lasik is just moving in this building. You got to understand, all throughout the Old Testament, all the prophecies were about sight. Think about it. Those who sat in darkness saw a great light. Why do you think that some of the first miracles that Jesus did was giving sight to the blind?

A
I don't.
B
Even know what that even looks like. And last time I checked, the prophet Samuel's dead. I see how David's eyes were open because he got oil poured on him and he got hands laid on him. I see how his. But, you know, but. But that was the Old Testament. And I ain't never had nobody pour oil on my head. Bunch of old smear, nothing in my forehead. So maybe I'm disqualified from this reality. Well, I got news for you. Let's run on over to Acts, chapter two. Let's look at this really quickly. Acts chapter 2, verse 1 says, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord and in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled the house where they were sitting. Can I stop? Can I stop really quickly? Because I'm ready to take off, but I need to teach a little bit. The Bible says, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven. Okay. As of a rushing, mighty wind. People think a wind came, a wind didn't come. A sound came as a rushing and mighty wind. If you look up that word sound, it's a Greek word, ecos. And it's where we get the English word echo from. Echo. Echo. Echo. Echo. Echo. Echo. What is an echo? An echo, you tapping into something that happened in one place. And it moves and catches you where you are. So. So this sound was the happenings of heaven. And the happenings of heaven trans. Trans. Trans. Traveled from heaven into their experience, the realms transcended. This was not an arbitrary sound. It was the happenings and the realities of heaven. When the spirit comes. The happenings of heaven. Echoing, echo. Until unto their environment. So essentially, they were no longer standing in the upper room. The upper room became an extension of heaven. Are you tracking with me? So. So. So. But that's not it. That's not it. That's not it. It says the sound came and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then it says, then there appeared. They. They saw something. So heaven invades. Track with me. Heaven invades. And when heaven invades, things appear. Which means that when heaven invades, sight Changes. Come on, come on. And it gets even better. Sight changes. And they now perceive what heaven is doing. Watch it. It says, there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire. Watch this. And one sat upon each of them. So God allows them to see what heaven is doing in that moment. And then what do they do? It says, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and begin to speak. Oh, there it is with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Do you see what just happened? The spirit comes, the sound comes. With the sound comes sight, and with the sight comes activation or manifestation. They begin to do what they saw. In other words, they manifest on earth what heaven had revealed. All because their eyes changed. But there's more. There's more. Then if we skip down to verse 16 and 17, when they're trying to figure out what just happened, Are we tracking okay? It says, but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel. And it shall come to pass in the last days that I will pour out. Not this, not a little cute little anoint you in the head. God says, david was anointed by man. Man poured out his oil. But what I'm getting ready to do in these last days, I'm not going to use the horn. I'm going to open up the heavens and I'm a pour out my spirit. Upon all flesh. Watch this. But here's how you're going to know. And I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Prophecy is when you see what heaven says and you open your mouth and you speak it so that it can be so. Prophecy is when God allows you to perceive what heaven is doing. And then you open your mouth. You become a conduit, you become a vessel. You become a tool in the hand of God. And you open your mouth and you begin to decree a thing. And it gets established. Let's practice it a little bit. I dare you to open your mouth and begin to decree. What?
A
God.
B
God has spoken to you. Go ahead. Ten seconds. Oh, I can't hear you. Open your mouth and decree, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. Come on. No weapon. Open your mouth. You got five seconds to practice. Come on. Come on. The Bible says the righteous shall decree a thing and it will be established. Hallelujah. Decree it over your family. Decree it over your marriage. Decree it over your business. Decree it over your future. Decree it over your body. I shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Decree it. Decree it. I'm called to Prosperity. Decree it. I'm gonna leave an inheritance for my children's children. Decree it. Huh? But that ain't all. Says your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And just in case you didn't think that this had anything to do with changing your eyes, he said, hallelujah. And your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Whenever the spirit of God is poured out, sight always follows. God is getting ready to anoint your eyes. I feel it. The eyes of your understanding are going to be enlightened unlike ever before. Can we go a little further? Can we dig a little deeper? Huh? I gotta. I gotta. I gotta preach this thing. God doesn't just pour out power. He pours out perception. Holy Spirit told me. I'm gonna tell you at the end. He gave me a word, but I'm gonna give you a sneak peek. Your problem is not what you think it is. It is a perception problem. It is a perception problem. The only. Hear me clearly. Hear me clearly. The only problem that you have is how you see when you are a believer. Grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel, grafted in to the covenantal promises of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you when you come into covenantal relationship with God through your faith in Jesus Christ. Your only problem, your only true problem is perception. This is why Job, as he walked through some things, and we know he walked through some things, he settles in a place where he says, though you slay me, yet I'll trust you because you have purpose. Good for me. And I know it. For I know the thoughts I think towards you, says God. Thoughts of good and not evil. Plans to prosper you and to harm you, to give you a future and a hope, meaning that no matter what comes my way, somehow, some way, it is working together for my. And therefore God, I believe, just help my unbelief. Are we tracking?
A
Hmm.
B
Now, I need to turn a corner here. Now, that word appeared, I must go back to it. In Acts, chapter two, when it says that in verse three, it says, then there appeared to them divided tongues as a fire in one saddle. Something just urged me to look up that word. That Greek word that was translated appeared. And it literally means to gaze with wide open eyes as something remarkable appeared. So this wasn't just appear. No, it was to gaze at something that was absolutely captivating. So much so that your eyes are just wide open looking at that. Thus, differing from another word that can be translated appeared or see, which denotes simply voluntary Observation, right? So you've got just voluntary observation and then you've got this gazing at this remarkable thing, and that's the word that was used there. And I really felt, I said, I need to understand more. But I said, where else was that word? Appear, gaze, see. Where else was that word used in scripture? And it was used in several places, but one place in particular jumped out at me. And it's in John, chapter one and verse 50, when Jesus is talking to Nathaniel and they have an exchange and Jesus has some wonderful things. But. But then Jesus answered and said to him, because Jesus ended up, had prophesied to him and said. Told Nathaniel that he had saw him sitting under the fig tree. And Jesus said to him, because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree. Do you believe you will see greater things than these? And he said to him, Jesus says to him, most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open and the angels of God, God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. This means that Jesus was telling him that you're going to go from seeing to believing to knowing. Now, I couldn't help but to have that it stirred up a memory of something that took place in the Old Testament back in Genesis chapter 28 and verse 12 through 19, where Jacob is in a place of despair and fear and uncertainty about his future and where he would go. And he takes a rock and he. He goes to sleep in his place. He doesn't really know where he is, but he goes to sleep in a place and he takes a stone. He takes a stone and he lays, he lays down. His head is on a stone. Wasn't a pillow, it was a stone he lays down in a hard place. And the Bible says then he dreamed. And behold, a ladder was set up on the earth and its top reached to heaven. And there the angels of God, oh, look at this language. The angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham, your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie, I will give you and your descendants also. Your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth. Sounds like what he said to Abraham shall be as the dust of the earth. You shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south, and in you and in your seed, all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you back to this land, for I will not Leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, surely the Lord is in this place. Watch this. And I did not know it. In other words, prior to this moment, he had a perspective about where he was. Not just geographically, not just physically, but he had a perspective about where he was in his life, in despair, in fear, and unsure. And God opens his eyes and he says, surely the Lord is in this place.
A
And.
B
And I did not know it. And he was afraid. He feared God and said, how awesome is this place. This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took that same stone that he had put at his head, set it as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. Watch this. And he called the name of the place Bethel House of God. But the name of that city had been loosed previously. Let's unpack this really quickly. So he saw a ladder with angels ascending and descending, meaning that he saw divine activity everywhere. He went from despair to perceiving divine activity everywhere. Oh, that God would open your eyes today, that you would realize that there is more with you than with them. Oh, that you would open your eyes today and realize that the captain of the host, of the armies of the living God are surrounding you right now. Oh, that you would taste and see that the Lord is good, that God has got your back, that he was for you and not against you. Oh, if you would only realize who had your back, you would move through life differently. You would be bold and courageous. You would close the mouth of lions. You would walk upon water. If God told you to jump, you would say, how high?
A
Oh.
B
Oh, if you would, behold. So Jacob, he sees this ladder. So much to preach. He sees this ladder with angels ascending and descending, and the Lord is above it all. So you've got the host of heaven that are going out doing God's bidding, and then you have the Lord above it all. And sometimes in this life, we get frustrated by what we see. We see injustice and cray crate and people saying and doing all kind of crazy things, and you wonder if you're gonna be okay. But I'm here to declare to you right now, not only are there angels ascending and descending, not only are you encamped around about with the host of heaven, but the almighty God who sits high and looks low, has not left the throne. He is seated on the throne right now. And if you believe it, I dare you to lift up your eyes unto the hill. From which cometh your help. Your health coveth from the Lord. I feel like preaching in this house. God is on the throne. God sits high, looks low, and he's got your back. If God is for you, Hallelujah. That's why you must be unbothered by this nonsense that you see. It is just a distraction. It's just a distraction. When they go low, you look high. Lift up your eyes Lift up your eyes. Don't you dare diminish the holy call that's on your life by entangling yourself with the affairs of this life. My God Rain. He reigns undistracted, unbothered. Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Don't you come down from your high place to argue with the devil. Just lift up your voice and declare the one who reigns, He still on the throne. He's still on the throne. Hallelujah. Tell you something, that's why we need clarity.

Somebody reached out with great intentions and said, are you gonna say something? I said, for what? I'm on another level. I'd have to come down from my high place and argue with fools. I move differently because I see a. Angels. Some people see threats. I see angels. Did you see it? No. I see angels and I speak angels. Side note, a couple more things to say and then we rolling out. Family, when you see clear, it will make you unoffendable. Couldn't offend me if you tried, Especially something stupid. Couldn't offend me if you. We're too easily offended. And I understand. I get it, kinda. But you gotta live high. Last I checked, the people who were targeted ain't said nothing. They ain't said nothing. Just making moves. Family, stay high because we got angels ascending and descending. We got the Lord on the top of that ladder. And what the Bible says is that Jesus is on the bottom of that ladder. Oh, watch it. He said, you're going to see angels ascending and descending upon the Son of man. Jacob saw the Almighty. Angels were ascending and descending, but the Almighty was above it. Jesus, the door to that realm. And the Almighty is at the top of that realm. And the two are one. So you're blessed when you're coming and blessed when you're going. And blessed every step of the way. Covered here. And sure enough, covered there. Oh, I got to wrap this up. So really quickly. These are the two disciplines of seeing. The two disciplines of seeing, expectation and hunger. These are the two twin forces. Two twin disciplines of seeing expectation, right? These set the stage for your eyes being open. They cannot open your eyes. They posture you to have your eyes open. The word that God speaks, this word that's coming at you today is meant to create expectation. When God speaks, he tells Abraham, get out of your father's house, out of your country, to a land that I will show you, and I will bless you and make your name great. Right? That was the word. It was truth. But it was also designed to create expectation. So every time you hear a word, first of all, write that word down. And the reason why it's important to write that word down. Watch this. Is because you're taking what is spiritual, and that's the first step into bringing it into manifestation. Because you took what was spiritual and you wrote it down in the natural. Are you tracking with me? That's the first step to seeing it come to fruition. If you try to keep it in your head, don't do that. Write it. Write the vision. Make it plain. Very important. That's the first step to it being manifest. Okay? So the word family is designed to produce expectation. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. That's when God speaks to you. Something quickens in you. That's why God, through the scripture later says, cast not, therefore away your confidence. That Greek word literally means your expectation. Hebrews chapter 11, when it says that faith is the substance of things hoped for. That phrase, things hoped for is the Greek word expectation. So faith is the substance of your expectation. Expectation is everything. And expectation comes by the word. When God gives you a word, he's not trying to tickle your fancy. He's trying to give you an expectation. Because expectation postures you to see. Right? Are we tracking? Okay. So. So. So expectation is the knowledge of what is available to you. I don't know about you. You call me greedy, whatever you want to call me. I want everything that's available to me. I am greedy for God. Everything that God says is available to me. I'm eating it all. I want the salad. I want every course of the meal that is assigned to my life and dessert. And I'm going to eat all of it and lick the plate when I'm finished. You ain't got to wash these dishes. So. So. So the word brings you the knowledge of what's available to you and what belongs to you, and it should stir not only expectation but hunger. Expectation is born from that Knowledge, is born from that truth. It's born from that revelation. Here's what expectation says. I know this is available to me. Oh, God, I feel it. Some of y' all think it's available to you. Some of y' all even believe it's available to you. No, no, no, no, no. You got to get to a place where you say, I know. Bible says, for we know that all things work together for good. For we know that if this earthly tabernacle. Come on now. Not I think, not I believe. For we know if this earthly tabernacle was dissolved, we have a home in the heavens, a building not made with hands. James said, count it all joy. When you fall into various temptations, knowing this, the trial of your faith produces patience. You got to know. Got to know. So expectation says, I know this is available to me. Hunger says, I must have it not. I want it not. I hope I get it. I must have it. Maybe that's why Jacob had that I must have it spirit. Because it wasn't too long after his encounter with the angels and everything that he ran up on the Lord and began to wrestle with him. And then he wrestled with him and said, you know what? I. I am not going to let you go until you bless me, because I know you've Got something for me and I will not let go. I will not quit, I will not relent until I see what you promised my daddy and my granddaddy. I'm gonna see it and I must have it. Paul says I'm a lay.
A
Hold.
B
That for which Christ has laid hold upon me. Are you tracking with me? So I need hunger. I need expectation. I need hunger. You got to be like the blind that were called out to Jesus as one. I believe was blind Bartimaeus. The Bible says it's like TLC song. I ain't too proud to beg. Some of y' all don't know nothing about that. In one direction or the other. Blind Bartimaeus hollered, jesus, watch this. Son of David, have mercy upon me. They tried to shut him up. He didn't care nothing about that. Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy upon me. Watch this. He knew the promise. He's calling Jesus according to his knowledge of who Jesus was. He knew, son of David, that he was the Messiah and that the Messiah would have power and mercy. He knew. He didn't guess. Jesus, Do what you do in my life. Watch this. There was a desperation. Sometimes we're not desperate enough. David said once, I'm almost there. David said once in the scripture, he says, I cried out to the Lord with my voice. He didn't say, I whispered with all that was in me. Hannah at the temple poured out her heart unto the Lord. The priest becomes a prophet and said, the Lord has heard your cry. There was something about this particular cr. There's some people in here and the pressure that you're facing is to produce the cry that's on the level of a life changing response. I wish I could say that better. He is cultivating your cry, your hunger and your desperation. Know this is available to me. I must have it. Hunger is intentional. Why you think I'm always calling us to fast? First of all, the Bible says in fastings, often lifestyles, hunger. Right? Fasting and prayer, spiritual disciplines. We're not trying to manipulate God. Those aren't manipulations. Those are signals. Bat signals. Let's God know you're serious, that you've moved from believing to knowing. There's some miracles, there's some miracles that require a little bit more than your little cute prayer. The disciples, Jesus, we've been trying to rebuke the devil on this boy, but we can't. And we jump to where he says, this kind comes out by fasting. But what does he say? First he says, oh, ye of little faith. This is A belief issue. Nevertheless, in order to get to that level of belief and knowing this kind comes out by prayer and fasting. In other words, you've got to cultivate the type of spirit. For certain things. We almost there. Hunger is serious. Put up a bat signal. When you put up that bat signal, not no believing bat signal, but a knowing bat signal. The eyes of the Lord go to and fro throughout the whole earth, looking to show himself strong on the behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards him. Sometimes when you are not hungry on the level that you need to be, you have to be hungry for hunger. I wish I could say that better. You have to learn to be hung. When you. When you. When you kind of fall into a little bit of. A little bit of apathy, and you know it, you have to hunger for hunger. Are you tracking? Mm. I want to make sure we get all this. You've got to go after it. There is a prophetic word that God spoke to me. There are a lot of giants in this generation. A lot of giants. And I used to pray God remove these giants. I don't pray that no more. I pray God restore my clarity because. Because if I can see right, I can deal with the giants. See, if I see right, I will realize that the only reason why I'm calling them giants is because of my perspective. Because if I really saw what was going on in the atmosphere, they would look like grasshoppers. That's why the Bible says, oh, magnify the Lord with me, oh, Magnum, make him bigger than what you're afraid of. That's what your praises do. Lord spoke this to me. I'm going to release this. We're going to pray. He told me he whispered this to me as I sat in a secret place concerning this message. And you and I believe it's going to resonate. I told me tell you it's a sight problem. It ain't a money problem. It's not complicated. It's not impossible. It's a sight problem. It's how you're looking at it. Your issue is your perception about it. Our problems are never. Our biggest problems are our problems is how we perceive them and how that perception creates our inner life. We got too many. We listen. We have a promise. For every problem, every problem that you face in life, there's a promise for. Are we tracking? But God told me to tell you he's opening your eyes today. He's not going to leave you in that place. He's going to do that which only he does. He Wants you to see. Remember that story when God touched the blind man's eyes and he couldn't fully see? He saw men as trees. God didn't leave him. He didn't leave him with foggy vision. God touched him again until he could see clearly. God's going to touch you again. Another touch is coming. Another touch is coming. Change your eyes. Some of you are like Jacob, I get it. And it's been so rough that where you lay down, it's felt hard. No comfort. You haven't had comfort in a long time. You've been laying on a stone and maybe you believe that that's all you're worthy of, or it's just your cup or your cross that you have to bear. But God told me that he's going to move you from stones as pillows to pillars of testimonies of the goodness of God in your life. From pillows to pillars. He's going to use that very thing. That was hard. I want to pray for some people. Come on, stand with me. God's going to touch you. Don't touch your eyes, you know, Touch your eyes. Change your perspective, change your perception. You're not just going to see angels. You're going to see everything differently. I was many of you know, I'm from California, from la, and I grew up in Watts in South Central la. And I've seen it all. And one day I don't do this as much anymore, but I used to just want to just kind of go through there when I would be in la. Just go through there and drive around and just see some of the places. And I experienced, you know, I thank God for every step in my journey. Steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. I wouldn't change nothing because if I were to change one thing, I wouldn't be me. Hello, Somebody. So I don't do that regret stuff, but I was moving through the city one day and I wasn't even paying any attention. And, you know, and at the time I was, you know, I had a nice car. I was just moving through those places. And then I got, you know, I went through that and through the projects and everything, and I got back on the freeway towards home. And then it dawned on me. He's like, wow, man. Like, that was dangerous, you know, you were moving through there and you know what that is. And, you know, you're in this nice car and everything, you know, and, you know, just like this little. Not fear, but this little thought of me not being safe came over me. And then the Lord Opened my eyes. And I'm just gonna say it. Cause it's true. He opened my eyes and he showed me, literally an angel, a massive angel with its arm. Just the forearm of this angel covering the whole of my car. Just a forearm of this angelic being. So I thought that I was surrounded by trouble, not realizing that there was an angel saying, ain't nothing gonna happen to you, son. When I say I see angels, that's not a cute little thing. And that wasn't the first time I see angels. And God's gonna open your eyes and you're gonna see angels too. You're gonna see who's got your back, who's for you, who loves you. I want to pray for you if you're here. As I mentioned last week, you must be born again. Nicodemus is like man trying to figure this thing out. You know, how is this going to happen? And he said, you got to be born again. It's a spirit. It's a spirit. It's not even a religious thing, right? He had the religious stuff worked out. He was a Sanhedrin council, he had the Torah, he had the Tanakh, he had the prophets, he had everything. And he was committed to it. But religion wasn't going to do was an encounter with Jesus. And this encounter with Jesus opened his eyes and grew and evolved his sight to so much so that now he was willing to risk it all to walk with Jesus. If you're here and everybody has had this moment, if you're watching via live stream, this is for you. If you're here and you have never opened up your heart to Jesus, maybe he's your mom's Jesus or your grandmother's Jesus, but you feel like, you know what? I gotta go a little deeper. And it's time to make him your Jesus. And you want him to open your eyes so that you might see. And the symptoms of this not happening is you're always afraid and you're always wondering and you can't be yourself and you're confused about your future. And if the Lord is touching you, saying, come here, I got you. I'm not mad at you for doing what you do. I expect you to do what you do until you're born again. How can you not? So if you're here and you say, you know what, PT I want the Lord to come into my life so that I can begin to see and walk out who I am. I just want you to come and meet me here at this altar. I want to pray for you wherever you Are. Come on, Just. Just come meet me here. If you're online, just say, I receive Jesus, and we'll connect with you. And I want my intercessors who are in the chat to just those who say, just. Just begin to pray. And if you're accepting Christ and say, I receive Jesus, I just want you to come. Come on, can we get excited like heaven is rejoicing right now? Can we do what heaven is doing right now? The Bible says that heaven rejoices. Come on, daughters. Come on, sons. Come on. Come on. We see you. Come on. Come on. Can we get for real happy about what's taking place in this house? Everybody had their altar moment. Everybody, all of us start at the altar somewhere. Somewhere. This is where it begins. Second point, this invitation is if you're here and you know, you open up your heart to the Lord, but come on, they're still coming. Come on, let's celebrate. Come on, celebrate. Come on, let's celebrate. Come on, let's celebrate. If you're here and you've. You opened up your heart to the Lord, but you stopped trusting him, and you've kind of slid back. You're almost moving, like you didn't see what you saw, and you know what you saw and you know what you feel felt, but you've had a difficult time accessing that. But some way, somehow, you got to church. You're watching via live stream and you're here, and you say, you know what? This is not my first time, but I'm coming home. If that's you, meet me here at this altar. Just. You're just coming home. You. You saw, but you haven't been able to access that clarity. I want you to come and meet me here. If you're watching via live stream, just put, I'm coming home. I'm coming home. Coming home. The last point of this invitation is speaking of home. Everybody needs a church home. Everybody needs a spiritual family. Come on, somebody. God bless you. I see you, daughter. I see you. Come on. I just want to pray for you. I just want to pray for you. We're winding it up, wrapping this thing up. Don't miss this moment. I'm going to pray. God told me that he's going to open some eyes today for real. You're going to see differently, which is going to allow you to be differently. You're going to move differently. Hallelujah. And there's going to be an acceleration. Because of that clarity, there's going to be an acceleration in your life, and God's going To show you that he had things waiting on you. God is a God of order. Order. It's not that he doesn't want to do it. You just have to be in the right place, in the right position with the right mentality, the right heart posture. And then restoration is. He restores it as if you were walking in it the whole time. If you don't have a church home and you say, I want to make the potter's house my house, it already is your house. But if you want to make it official, Pastor Sarah talked about the community groups. We love you, man. And we're, we're praying strategically about how to plug you in so that you can continue to grow in wisdom and stature so that you can grow in every area of your life. So if you want to make the potter's house your house, you're more than welcome to come down here if you got to move because you need to get home and set up for the super bowl or whatever.

All these things are designed to build you, to build you up. Now. Father, I thank you for these, your beloved sons and daughters that you love so much. God, I thank you for the privilege of being a voice into their lives. Thank you God, that it flows through me from you to them now. God, anything that you reveal, you intend to fulfill. And God, you've taken us from scripture to scripture and you've shown us the reality of sight changing and shifting as we draw near to you. You've created an expectation. You've cultivated a hunger. So Father, I pray for everyone under the sound of my voice. And I ground this prayer in Second Kings. When Elijah prayed for his servant, he wanted him to see. Differently so that they can have peace and move differently. I pray that same prayer. I ground this expectation also in the Apostle Paul's prayer in Ephesians, chapter one, that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened, that we would understand what the hope is of this calling, what the richness of the inheritance is in the saints that was wrought through Christ. So I thank you God, that your sons and daughters will leave here with new eyes, with clearer eyes, that they will perceive who you are, who they are as a result of this covenant and the resources that are with them every single day, to the effect of them moving differently, obeying more swiftly, living undistracted and unbothered above the fray. Hallelujah. I thank you that this is so, that we're getting spiritual lasik. Oh, hallelujah. Causing us to see the way we were always designed to see. Now I want you to repeat after me. Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love. I feel it. Heavenly Father, thank you for your word. I receive it. Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus. Thank you for making him who had no sin, all of mine, all of my weakness, all of my insecurity, all of my brokenness, all of my shortcomings you placed in his body, nailed it to the cross and put it to death. And just like he was raised up free and victorious, because I'm in him, I'm raised up too, seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Now Holy Spirit, fill me to the overflow that I might see right, that I might be right, that I might move right, that I might walk out my purpose with clarity and power. Unless like ever before, I love you, God. I trust you, God. I thank you for my new eyes. In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. Amen. May the Lord bless and keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you and be gracious towards you. May he lift up his countenance over you and grant you shalom. Shalom.

All? This is Lecrae and I just dropped my new book called Set Me Free, the Good News of God's Relentless Pursuit. I wrote these poems and essays because I know there are people out there who feel like they've gone too far, messed up too much, or that God's done with them. But I'm living. And proof that he is not. The same God who set me free from toxic views and beliefs is pursuing you too. If you can relate, make sure you check out Set Me Free. It's available now wherever you get books.
Episode: I See Angels, Part II | Touré Roberts
Date: February 8, 2026
Host: The Potter’s House
In "I See Angels, Part II", Pastor Touré Roberts continues his teaching on spiritual clarity, perception, and the reality of angelic and divine activity in the life of a believer. Centered around 1 Samuel 16:13, Touré urges listeners to move beyond belief into the realm of knowing — seeing their lives, challenges, and purpose through God’s eyes, empowered by the Spirit. Using biblical case studies, prophetic exhortation, and practical insights, this sermon unpacks what it means to receive “new eyes” and live with boldness, clarity, and supernatural perspective.
Pastor Touré closes by inviting listeners to accept Christ, renew their commitment, and seek alignment with a spiritual community. He prays for "new eyes" — a Holy Ghost recalibration of perception, so that believers walk in clarity, boldness, and supernatural confidence, knowing the resources and presence that are with them.
“May the Lord bless and keep you. May He make His face shine upon you…May He lift up His countenance over you and grant you shalom. Shalom.” (91:42)
This episode is a call to shift from natural to spiritual sight, to carry expectation and hunger, and to walk in the assurance that God’s presence, angelic help, and victory are already yours. If you feel beset by challenges, Pastor Touré encourages you: it’s not about what surrounds you, but how you see.
