Welcome to the Potter's House podcast. You are home away from home. I got a word I want to share with you. I'm in Exodus, chapter 12, verses 2 through 13. You know I'm gonna get into my message, but you know how you probably have never had a situation where you let somebody borrow some money and then you looked up and they was spending money on things that one Would assume you couldn't spend money on if you needed to ask for money. I'm trying to figure out how Bishop Jackson got me installed as co senior pastor. Now he didn't took the time and now got a Next chapter podcast. I'm just trying to figure out now Bishop, you supposed to be somewhere restless and you done gone and got you another job. I don't even know that wasn't even a part of the plan. I believe you gonna have to start preaching again since you got so much you wanna say. Bishop, I see you here. We running revivals in our next chapter, Bishop. I'll see you back at the storefront. Okay. Just had to get that off right quick. Cause what you mean you got a next chapter? You supposed to be be sitting down somewhere, Bishop. Amen. If you're visiting for the first time, we're not usually this crazy. It's worse. But if you wave at us. If you're visiting for the first time, will you wave at us? We just want. Hey, if you sit next to a first time guest, make sure you show them some love. All in the balcony. We see you. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Come on. If this is your church, make sure that they do not leave this place without feeling the love of the house. Thank you so much for taking the time. If you keep your hand up, our professional ministry technicians have a gift they want to give you. It's just our way of saying thank you. You could be. There's so many amazing communities and to be honest, you could be at home in the bed. But you made the sacrifice to come see what God was doing here at our house. And we. Hey, girl, not. They point you out. You tried to not. Hey, girl, welcome. First time visitor. We love you and we're so grateful for you. Please make sure she gets her gift. And we're just so grateful. If this is your house, can you just make some noise so they know they're good and welcome? We love you. We love you tremendously. And we don't even know you yet, but we sure would be glad if you stuck around so we could get to know you better. I'm in. Exodus 12, chapter 2 through 13. Context is the Lord has appeared to Moses and sent him back to Egypt to tell him that his people must be delivered. He's heard the cry of his people, the cry of the children of Israel who have been enslaved. And so he extracts Moses from where he is and sends him back to Egypt. Well, when he gets to Egypt, there are a number of plagues that are released over the land. This is God's way of letting Pharaoh know that he is the one and true God and that he must have his people free. What's interesting about the releasing of the plagues is that the he turned the water to blood. There were frogs that covered the land, gnats, flies. I mean, plague after plague after plague. And yet it didn't work. It's almost as if they cried out to the Lord. The Lord said, I heard you. But then what the Lord was trying to do on their behalf didn't get them the results that they anticipated. I wish I could say that. Good. In our Scripture, if you look before verses, before chapter 12, and you read the full context, what we learn is that as the plagues were released, that it actually hardened Pharaoh's heart. It made things worse for. For them, which I know you all can't relate to. This idea of I cried out to God and it seems like things got a little bit worse. God, you're here with me. But some kind of way it feels like things got a little worse. When we enter the text in chapter 12, the Lord is about to release the final plague. But imagine being the children of Israel, and you've seen plague after plague after plague in nothing has worked. But this plague is different. This plague is different. Because unlike God performing the plagues on their behalf, this plague will require their participation. And all the other plagues, God spoke the Word and it occurred in the land. And sometimes they were impacted by the plague, sometimes they weren't. But in none of the other plagues did it record require their participation. But in Exodus 12, the Lord makes it clear that for this next one, the one that leads to your deliverance, the one that actually secures your freedom, for this one, the one that will allow the oppressor to finally let you go, for this one, the one where the enemy must let you go, it's going to require your participation. Because deliverance is not just something that God does for us, it's something he does with us and through us. Verse two begins, the Lord is speaking to Moses and Aaron, and he wants them to understand that this one's going to be different. I'm reading from the new King James Version. It says, this month shall be your beginnings of month. Mind you, they're still in oppression. They're still in oppression, but God is beginning to help them formalize who they will be on the other side of oppression. One would think that God would give them the form once they had the freedom, but he gives them the form when they're still in oppression because he's not worried about your current situation when he knows what's on the other side. So even while they're yet in oppression, he says, I have to prepare you for who you'll need to be. Or on the other side of oppression, you don't get delivered and then formed. You're formed, and then I deliver you. This month shall be your beginning of the months. It shall be the first month of the of the year to you speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, on the 10th of this month, every man shall take for himself a lamb according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of persons, according to each man's need. You shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may your you may take it from from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two door posts on the lintel of the houses. When they eat it, then they shall eat the flesh that night, roasted in fire with the leavened bread and with bitter herbs. They shall eat it. Do not eat it raw nor boiled, all with water, but roasted in fire, its head, with its leg and its entrails. You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire, and thus you shall eat it with the belts on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. This is going to be complicated. This isn't going to come easy. It's going to require sacrifice. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, if you do this right, if you follow my instructions, if you listen to the form that I have told you to step into when I pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all, all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be assigned for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood I will pass over you. Oh God, help me. And the plague shall not be on you to destroy you. When I strike the land of Egypt, the blood will be a sign. If you participate in this deliverance, if you coordinate yourself properly, if you collaborate, there's going to be a sign. And that sign will be the blood is over you and the plague will not destroy you. God, we are living in a world with many plagues, thing after thing, issue after issue. And yet we recognize that as your people, we have have a promise in the midst of the plagues. God, it is my prayer that our hearts will be open to hear the form you would like us to take, that our ears will be open, that we may be sensitive to what thus saith the Lord God. I pray even now that you would begin to tear walls down in this room, that those who are watching online would begin to hear your voice more clearly than they have heard heard it in a long time. And God asked for me. I thank you for resting on me, for allowing your spirit to breathe through me. Have your way, great God that you are. Let there be no separation between you or I. Where there is anxiety, let it flee so that the anointing may arise. I trust you, God, and we thank you because we know that it is done in. In Jesus name, Amen. And amen again. My subject, for those of you who like to take notes, is the expiration of isolation. The expiration of isolation. I want to start this message first by taking a little bit of inventory, if you will, of the people in the room. I want to know if you are in this room and listen clearly. You love asking for help. It is easy for you. The moment that you begin to feel frustrated or you feel overwhelmed. It is your first go to. You don't wait to figure things out on your own. Your first call is to someone who you know can help you. You don't mind asking for help. You don't think people will judge you. You don't mind asking again. Even if someone rejects you, if that's you, I want you to pop up. Oh, is somebody. Oh, you stood and this one person. God has favorites, ladies and gentlemen, because the rest of us have a little bit of a struggle bus issue. Can you just thank God for what he did in her life? And that said it would overflow into the lives of other people, mainly me, because I'm one of those people who struggle to ask for help. Somewhere along the way, I'm not exactly sure I learned that it was best if I kind of figured things out on my own. And there must be a few other people like me in this room who learned to figure things out on. Maybe you didn't quite Fit in. Maybe no one came to save you, so you had to figure things out on your own. It's not that you wanted to figure things out on your own. It's just that you didn't have the mentor. Your parents didn't have the capacity. You had to figure things out on your own. They opened up once and maybe they experienced betrayal. You just had to figure things out on your own. You could be in a room full of people, and yet you would never let them know that you needed something. And it's not necessarily because you. You don't have the need. You just learn that it wasn't okay to have the need. You don't know how to express the need. Sometimes we find ourselves in this form of isolation. Not just physically isolated, sometimes emotionally, spiritually, mentally isolated. In a marriage with friendships, but isolated in corporate worlds. But still isolated. And isolation is very unique because isolation begins to make us believe that no one quite understands us fully. We could be in a room full of people and be having a worship experience. But if we really, really allowed God into that space where we have experienced isolation, we would maybe cry and never stop crying. Because we don't even go in that space of isolation. Sometimes we don't even know how to invite the presence of God into that space of isolation. Sometimes we're so busy functioning with the walls that we have built around our heart that we don't even know how to get in ourselves anymore. Has anyone ever been isolated? I don't mean where people weren't around you. I mean isolated. No one understood my thoughts. No one understood what was happening in my world. I felt isolated. No one understood the gifts that were on the inside of me. I felt isolated. Isolated. Has anyone ever felt like it was just me? Not that I'm the only person in the world, but I'm the only person with this kind of world. Isolated. Growing up, I mean, isolated from stage to stage to stage in my life. I look back over my life and even though I was surrounded by people, I felt isolated. It was the gift that was on my life that made me feel isolated. There was a trauma I experienced that made me feel isolated. I've been in this thing for so long by myself that. That I don't even know how to invite someone into the isolation. It's not that I don't want to love you. It's not that I don't need your friendship. It's just I don't know how to let anybody in. Because all I've ever known is how to figure it out on my own. I've been isolated and I found safety in it. And it's how I protect myself and it's how I make sure that I can survive. Because the last time I let someone in, I got violated. People aren't just isolated for isolated sake. Isolated because I'm trying to protect something. Isolated because I can't take another rejection. Isolated because I don't know how to communicate with that partner. Isolated because God called me into a space. Come when I'm thinking about David in the Kingdom of Saul. I'm isolated because God's called me somewhere that I'm ultimately meant to change. But until the change comes, there's no one else like me. I've been isolated. I'm thinking about the woman at the well who'd gone through husband after husband after husband that now no one wanted to touch her. And so she had to live to function around the outskirts of society. She had been isolated. You see, some of us met God in big crowds. Some of us met God in a room full of other people. Some of us met God because the spirit moved and it touched everyone. But some of us met God because God invaded our isolation. I'mma have testimony service all by myself. What couldn't be done in a room at church. God saw me in the midnight hour and taught me who he was in isolation. Some of us didn't get to go to choir rehearsal every week. I had to learn who God was in isolation. I grew up in church, but I had my first encounter with God outside of church. Because sometimes the only place where you can be vulnerable is not the place where everyone is. But God invades your isolation and says, you're going to know who I am by any means necessary. I wish there were some people in this room who have had some one on one encounters with God.
C
I just come to church to get topped off. Where I really have encounters with God.
A
Is when I'm in it all by myself.
C
I get in my prayer closet.
A
He meets me in my car. He comes and taps me on my shoulder in the office.
C
He knows how to invade my isolation. When I didn't want to be bothered.
A
He sends a word for me anyway.
C
He invades my isolation.
A
I'm going to be honest with you. God told me I'm going to invade somebody's isolation on this Sunday. Depression's been trying to isolate you.
C
Anxiety's been trying to isolate you.
A
You worry's been trying to isolate you. But God says it is time for us to invade that isolation. You can't be in it on your own any longer. You got to learn to let somebody in. And when you don't learn to let somebody in, God forces his way in. He leaves the 99 to go get the 1. Because I won't allow you to be isolated. He stopped everything he was doing with the disciples. He said, I've got to go to Samaria. Why does he have to go to Samaria? Because there's a woman living in isolation who needs to come out of that situation she's in. Sometimes God invades our isolation because he doesn't want you to think that you can afford to stay segmented any longer. I wish I could say this real good. You will become comfortable in an isolation that was meant to be a vessel of transformation. When the caterpillar turns into the butterfly, it does go into isolation. But isolation is not its destination. And some of you have made isolation your destination when it was supposed to be the place of encounter so that you can be transformed and then released. But because we're so afraid of what will happen if I open myself up again, we've made a home in isolation. But God says that's gotta end today. Because what I need to do in you and through you, I cannot do with you being isolated. You are going to have to open up and let my glory in. Because when you let my glory in.
C
I transform you into a new form.
A
You are isolating an old version of you which is keeping you from transforming.
C
Into what God has always known.
A
I'm going to need you to surrender that place of isolation.
B
Huh?
A
Hannah got into the presence of the Lord in isolation and she did business with God. She didn't even know nobody else was in the room. She just started praying because she realized that I've been trapped. I've been stuck in this condition for far too long. But God says if you would open up to me in your place of isolation, I can bring fruit where you were once barren. I need you to let me in to your secret place. Has anyone ever wondered how the woman with the issue of blood even heard about Jesus? If you think about the woman with the issue of blood and you understand the context of what it meant to be a woman who was experiencing that issue, you would know that customary and Jewish culture meant that she should have been isolated it. She should have been at home where no one was touching her. She should have been at home where no one understood what was happening with her. She should have been isolated. But God was so serious about making sure that she got her healing, that some kind of Way word reached her in isolation. And when she got a word about who Jesus was in isolation, it built her faith so much that it broke her out of isolation. It was her faith that made her whole because faith invaded her isolation. There's got to be a point in your life where you begin to understand that my isolation is not my destination. I've got to break out of this.
C
But I got to have faith before.
A
I break out of this. And I hear God saying, I want to give you faith to break out of the place where you have settled. God can meet you and I. He met Gideon in isolation. He met David in isolation. God can meet you in your isolation. All he needs sometimes is an invitation. Sometimes he doesn't even need an invitation. Sometimes God places the right people around you who he knows you cannot deny. I want to thank God right now for people who don't allow me to stay in isolation. You may be depressed, but you're not going through depression by yourself. You may may be grieving, but you're not going through grieving by yourself. You better thank God for making sure you had a lifeline in the middle of you going through your hardest time.
C
God made sure that that, oh, that.
A
Thing meant to knock the wind out of you.
C
But God says, I'm going to make.
A
Sure that there's somebody who can still.
C
Get some life support to you.
A
You would have never made it through that grief, but God made sure that there was a praying grandmother somewhere that.
C
Would back the enemy up, up off of you.
A
God made sure that you had a friend somewhere who would make sure you didn't face that thing on your own.
C
I know it was hard.
A
I know you barely made it.
C
I know you cried yourself to sleep.
A
But look at you standing tall.
C
Look at you on the other side. Look at you made it to the other side. Anyway, God says, I'm going to make sure it doesn't kill you because I.
A
Know how to make sure that that.
C
Isolation doesn't get the best of you. I rebuke right now in the name.
A
Of Jesus, Jesus, the spirit of suicide in this room.
C
I rebuke right now in the name of Jesus, the spirit of depression in this room. You never know what somebody is going through, but God allowed you to be.
A
The person they sit next to. You won't go through this thing on your own.
C
I won't allow you to be isolated. You may be divorced, but you still got love. You may be separated, but you still got unity. I want to come on be the body of Christ. We did not come Here to be entertained. We came here to establish the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of heaven cannot be established through isolation.
A
That poor young man scored a touchdown on Monday and ended his life later on in the day.
C
Don't allow the fact that somebody's in.
A
Here dressed up and smelling good. Make you believe that the enemy has.
C
Not backed them in a corner. But you are sitting next to somebody that God loves, somebody that God has a plan for, somebody that God says I can prosper and not harm. And you gotta make sure.
A
That your.
C
Attitude doesn't get in the way of love.
A
Coming through. Oh, I wish we could take about a minute. I don't know who you are in this room, but you've been in pain for a long time and you've been feeling isolated and you don't know who can see you or who can hear you. And I hear God saying, I hear you and I see you and I won't allow that thing to get the best of you. Come on, this is a life saving ministry.
C
I'm not talking about rebuking cancer though.
A
We can do that.
C
I'm not talking about rebuking the devil though. We can do that. I'm talking about saving somebody's soul right here, right now. I'm talking about letting somebody. You better turn to the. The person beside you and just let them know. I don't know what you're going through, but you're not going through it alone. Right now you got heaven backing you up. Right now. My faith is going to build your faith. Right now I'm rebuking devils on your behalf. Somebody's tired of fighting on their own. But they messed around and came to the potter's house because the Potter's house got something for their house. I replete the blood of Jesus over your mind. I plead the blood of Jesus over your house. You're gonna be okay. You gonna make it through this. Whether the government shuts down or opens up again, God's gonna supply all of your needs. Whether AI takes your job or doesn't take your job, God's gonna make sure that you can build it anyway. You're gonna build that ministry. You're gonna build that family.
A
I've just made an executive decision today. I'm not the minister. You are today.
C
I'm not the pastor. You are you sitting next to one of God's sheep. And if you just took five seconds and made sure that they felt connection, if you just took five minutes to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
A
Can you imagine with all of the faith in this room what the Lord could do.
C
Somebody's marriage is falling apart. They in isolation.
A
But they're in a room where God.
C
Can do exceedingly and abundantly, where healing could break out, where miracles could break out, out where joy could come back, where peace could come back, where they don't have to bear the burden on their own anymore. We're in this together.
B
Yeah.
A
This is the only way we going to make it through these times that we're living in. The only way we'll make it through the times we're living in is if we take responsibility for the people who we're making it with. Oh, I wish I could say that real good. And now I'm out of my notes, but I'm into the word that God gave me. God told me that the plagues that have been running rampant in our land can be defeated and overcome, but not with us in isolation. Oh, God, help me. It's not going to happen with us in isolation. We are going to have to learn to not just serve others, because some of y' all are real good at that, but to allow ourselves to be cared for. Oh, God, help me. Everyone's going to have to bring not just their strength to the table, but you're going to have to let somebody else take care of you, Even if it's just for the minute we're in this room, you can't afford to do it on your own any longer. Because there comes a point where isolation becomes devastation. Isolation is meant to be a tunnel that we pass through, a vessel of transformation. But when isolation becomes your destination, it leads to devastation. Ask an expectant mother. The fetus is supposed to be in the womb, and sometimes it comes early and sometimes it comes late. But there comes a point where the doctor says it's been in there too long. And what was meant to be a place of growth for them will now become a place of damage if we don't get it out. Feel God on this. In isolation, you forget who you are sometimes. When it becomes your destination, sometimes you forget even what you believe. When Peter was isolated from the disciples, in one of the gospels, it says he was just a few feet away, many feet away from the disciples. He started denying who Jesus was. Because when you're in isolation, sometimes you forget what you believe. Did I talk too much? Did I just let it go? Take a breath. You're not alone.

A
In isolation Sometimes you forget who you are. David was supposed to be at war, yet he was at home. And when he was at home, not only did it lead to him assaulting and abusing power, it ultimately led to murder. Because he he was isolated at a time he was supposed to be activated. What happens to us when we are isolated at a time when we are supposed to be activated? And most importantly, what happens to the world? We are called to serve as members of the kingdom when we are isolated at a time we are supposed to be activated. Your fear isolated you. Your shame isolated you. But it's okay, because God can meet you in isolation. But God doesn't meet you in isolation to keep you there. I transform you there, and then I release you. Oh, one of my favorite, favorite parts of the woman with the issue of blood. I say this all the time. It's not when she touches the hem of his garment is when Jesus goes out of his way to identify who she is. You've heard me say this before. That woman who spent most of her years in isolation dealing with this issue. She touches the hem of Jesus garment. She gets her healing, but then she goes back to hiding. Because she knows isolation more than she knows anything else. Healed but in isolation. Transformed but in isolation. And Jesus goes, no, no, no, no, no. I gotta figure out who touched me. Because she can't go back into hiding when her life is meant to be a testimony. Because now you're not hiding.
C
You're healing your issue.
A
You're hiding your healing. I gotta make sure she comes out. And I study scripture and I look at all of these moments where God and Jesus met people in isolation. And I also realized that isolation is not just the place where we experience transformation. Isolation is also the place where, if we are not careful, the enemy will strike. Isolation can be a place of transformation or devastation. This can be the place where God meets me and I become transformed. Or this is the place where the enemy strikes and I am deformed. If you don't believe me, ask the woman in the garden. She was by herself when the enemy said, you know, what did God really say? But I don't have to tell you that God, that the enemy can meet you in isolation because he never picks on you in rooms like this. And he never starts tormenting you when you're with your prayer circle. He waits until you get ready to close your eyes at night to start telling you that you will never make it. He would never say that when you're in the presence of God. Because when you're in the presence of.
C
God, you got backup.
A
When you're in the presence of God.
C
You got authority, you got power. He waits until you are down to.
A
Your weakest thoughts and he goes, you know what? Now is the time to try and thwart their destiny. The enemy's got a plan for your isolation. That's why you got to make it a habit to invite God into those moments. I've had some moments where the enemy.
C
Started picking on me.
A
And I could feel the depression rising.
C
And I could feel the anxiety rising. And I started thinking to myself, maybe.
A
I shouldn't be in ministry.
C
Maybe I shouldn't raise the family.
A
And then when I realized that those.
C
Weren'T my thoughts, but somebody sent those thoughts when I was at my most vulnerable. That's when I said, a spirit of the living God, I. I can't fight this battle in my own spirit. But if the spirit of the living God would invade my bedroom, invade this car, invade my office, I'm in a fight that I can't win on my own. But the blood of the lamb is with me. The power of God goes before me.
A
You could do it right now. In the area where the enemy been picking on you, where the enemy's been.
C
Trying to torment you, where the enemy been trying to tell you could never be, that you could never do that. You could ask for backup in the spirit. Right now God says, I've been waiting on somebody who would call me into the fight with him. I've been waiting, waiting on somebody who would allow me to release my power. I've been waiting on somebody who would declare my name in the midst of the fight. I've been waiting on somebody who would let me release my power over addiction, who would let me release my power over pornography, who would let me release my power over. I've been waiting, been waiting on Somebody who would call on my name. I've been waiting on some.
A
I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting for you to get hungry. I've been waiting on you to get desperate.
B
It.
C
I've been waiting on you to see you can't do it in your own strength. I've been waiting.
A
I've been waiting.
C
I've been waiting. I've been waiting. You got the degree, but I've been waiting to give you real knowledge. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. You got the man, but I've been trying to show you what it means to me. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I've been waiting to show you that the man couldn't do it. That the job wouldn't do. I've been waiting. I've been waiting.
A
So that's why I love. I love what Jesus does in Matthew after he's been baptized. Oh, I'm sorry. I feel a little gangster.
C
Sorry. Don't do that.
A
Sam. Don't do that.
C
I'm just so tired of the enemy backing my people in the corner and making them believe that they are without power and without authority and that the government could dictate the kingdom of heaven. I've been tired of the devil waging war on families, waging war on mental health. Is anybody else tight?
B
Okay.
C
All right.
A
Let me finish this. Jesus.
C
Okay, okay, okay.
A
Stop, stop, stop. Stop it. Stop it, stop it, stop it, Sam. Okay, listen. No, let me tell you, Let me tell you. Let me tell you. Jesus. Jesus gets baptized. He's baptized. And the heavens are open to him and the spirit of God descends upon him. He does the most interesting thing. And Matthew 4 says, he's led to the wilderness to face off with the serpent, with the Satan. He's led to the wilderness because he got business with Satan, you see, because Satan met the woman in the garden in Genesis, and he picked on that woman and he convinced that woman that.
C
God wasn't who God said he was. And Jesus says, before I launch my ministry fully, I gotta let Satan know something. That humanity is not in it on their own anymore. And in the same place where humanity experienced defeat, Jesus steps over into the wilderness to finish what the Wonder Woman could not do. He says, I'm going to show Satan what it looks like to go toe to toe with you and come out on the other side. Because I know in 2025, my people are going to wonder if they could go toe to toe with the devil. And maybe they couldn't do it by themselves. But when they say, in Jesus name, I can't do it in Sarah's name, but I can. I can do it in Jesus name. I can't do it in my own strength, but I can do it in Jesus name. And you gonna have to revisit the place where all hell broke loose to let him know that heaven sent back up.
A
Jesus.
C
Jesus.
A
Jesus gives Satan an appetizer. Jesus gives Satan an appetizer.
C
This is a preview of a coming attraction.
A
He goes into the wilderness to let.
C
Him know this is just a preview. I'm not just going to overcome you in the wilderness in isolation, but when I get finished on that cross, I'm gonna stop by hell. I'm gonna take the keys to death in isolation. I'm gonna take the keys to sin in isolation.
A
All right. Okay. Yeah. Jesus so bad.
C
He said I can do it all by myself. Jesus said he's so bad, he could do it all by himself. I can make it happen all by myself. I need you to understand that if I'm living in you, I'm greater than anything that's happening around you. I can do it all by myself. I choose to partner with you because I want you to see it when it happens. I choose to partner with you. All you have to do.
A
Let's be a witness. Okay. What Jesus does in the wilderness and isolation gives us a foreshadowing of what it means to have authority. Through Jesus, we see the juxtaposition of what happens when the woman in her humanity is faced off with the serpent. She's not able to overcome him in her own strength and isolation. So Jesus shows us what his plan and intention is, is that we will be able to withstand the temptation of the enemy when we partner with him. What I find most intriguing is that he starts his ministry after that. It's almost as if now that I've served notice to Satan, that humanity has backup.
C
Now let me go get my people.
A
So that they understand that they got back up. One of my favorite scriptures, and we quote it all the time, talks about where two or three are gathered in my name. I'll be in the mist. This is what Jesus says. He's teaching about what it means to one not be in isolation. But the context of the scripture is beautiful because if you read the full context, he's not just saying where two or three are gathered in my name like this he's talking about where two or three are gathered in my name in an effort to get someone who is stuck in sin free. If you read it, it's Matthew 18. If you read all of it, it talks about if your brother stuck in in sin, go to him. If your brother sinned against you, go to him and try and pull him out. And if that doesn't work, try and go get someone and pull him out. And you know what? I think we use this scripture and we have religicized it. I'm the pastor, so I think I make up words now. Is that a real we'll figure it out chat GPT will make it a word. Here's the thing, he goes, this is a formula and we've made it so religious that now we don't necessarily gather in his name to free someone out of sin. We gather in judgment. Sometimes we gather in ridicule. But Jesus wants them to understand that if you gather in my name, that means if you full of my spirit. My spirit is love, my spirit is truth.
C
If you gather in my name, I'll.
A
Be in the midst.
C
Why do you need to know I'll.
A
Be in the midst? Because if you know that Jesus is in the midst, you know that he.
C
Will make a way for that person.
A
To be freed from sin. I need you to understand that it is not enough for you to just.
C
Pray for that child because you don't.
A
Want them to go to hell.
C
You got to pray from the place of love. You got to pray in the name of Jesus that you will be in the midst of whatever is going on so that God can give you strategy on how to release them.
A
I wish I could say that real good, but I can just be a testimony that I am only standing here.
C
Today because my parents must have got together in that room underneath me and started prophesying over my life that they were going to get me stuck out of the plan of the enemy. Parents, I got news for you, friends. I got news for you. I don't need to hang out because.
A
We like the same movies.
C
I don't need to hang out because.
A
We like the same songs.
C
I need some someone who will gather in Jesus name when I get stuck in some stuff that I cannot get out of on my own. I wish I had about two or three believers in here right now who could gather in Jesus name. I'm gathering in power. I'm gathering in love. I'm gathering in authority because I see somebody stuck in something they can't get out of. God I've been praying all week. Cause I see my community stuck in some systems they can't get out of. But I didn't just gather in my worry. I didn't just gather in my fear. I started calling on the name of Jesus. Jesus, help me to find a way out. Jesus, help me to speak words that they can understand. Jesus, help me to be the light in the middle of their dark times. God, I'm gathered and show me the way. God says, I'll show you how to raise the child. God says, I'll show you how to flip the industry. I'll show you how to navigate the deal. I'll show you how to build the business. Just gather in my name. And if you gather in my name, I'll be in the midst and where anybody is stuck. I'll give you strategy.
A
I'm gonna do it through you, says God. I'm gonna do it through you. Gather in my name. Don't do it in your own name. Gather in my name. Because my name has the strategy, my name has the power. My name is the backup. Demons, don't tremble at your name or.
C
You would have never got stuck in the thing you got stuck in. But if you gather in my name, anything that hell has planned will have to back up off of them. Demonstration. Don't tremble at your name. But at the very mention of my name, when they even hear that you got linked up with me, somebody, you made the right choice to be in the potter's house today. You got the right time at the right place to serve hell. Notice that I got linked up with Jesus again. I'm not talking about religion. I'm talking about walking with him. I'm talking about talking with him. I'm talking about dreaming with them. I'm talking about building with them. I'm talking, talking about leading with him. I'm talking about praying with him. I'm talking about prophesying with him. I'm talking about healing a generation with him. I'm talking about writing the music with him. I'm talking about making the movies with him. I'm talking about doing the business with him. I got kingdom business. And he's in the room.
B
Oh.
A
Isolation. God interrupts Moses lifestyle of isolation. God help me. God interrupts Moses lifestyle of isolation because it's time for him to be activated. God has an agenda in the earth and he wants to use someone who has made a lifestyle of isolation their norm. And so he interrupts that and he gives him an idea of what is to come. And he gets his buy in. Not without fight, not without struggle. And before it's all said and done, it requires that he takes his brother Aaron with him. Because sometimes the only way we can be led out of isolation is if we do it in connection with other people. That's why some of us, and that's not universal. Hear me clearly. If there's not someone in your life right now who can help get you out of the isolation, I want you to understand that the Holy Spirit isn't enough. Oh, God, help me. You do not have to campaign for your deliverance. If the Lord is speaking to you about an area where you've been fighting something on your own, where you've become isolated and you know you're supposed to be activated, where God is calling you into a season of activation and you're waiting on someone to come out. If there's not someone available, please. Because God instantly says to Moses, you have your brother Aaron. That means that he had someone in proximity for him. If he doesn't have anyone in proximity, then maybe you're going to be more like David, where you walk out of it on your own, but with God. But he interrupts Moses lifestyle of isolation, not just so that the children of Israel can accept, experience, liberation. Hear me clearly. He's ready to create a framework for what will become the kingdom of heaven. What we see happening here in Exodus 12, when they are doing the Passover dinner and they're learning what it means to have the Passover, is ultimately God saying that I'm not just delivering them to be free. I am delivering them so that they can be formed into a nation. They're going to be my people. And if they're going to be my people, there are certain laws and statues. My agenda is ready to be fully activated in the earth. The deliverance was not just for them to be free. It was for them to be formed. And so he pulls Moses out of isolation because he's ready to architect this master plan. And what we see here is this skeleton of what we will ultimately come to understand as the kingdom of heaven. And there are some principles that are laid out in this particular portion of the text that I found very familiar for those of us who are seeking whatever deliverance looks like for us now. And the first thing I noticed immediately is that out of all of the plagues that this is the one that required their participation. This is the dynamic that will exist between God and his people, is that he is a God who can do for us. But the original plan was for him to do it with us. And so he begins to give them strategy on what it looks like to do it with God. There are some people in this room and you have been waiting for deliverance to just fall in your lap. If we're honest sometimes we hope that deliverance will come easy, that it won't require sacrifice, that it won't cost us anything. But God lets them know in this moment that as you are seeking to become delivered and to become my people, that this is going to require sacrifice. This is going to require that you move within my time. He says to them, and this shall be the first month of your year. In the ancient times, people lived by different types of calendar. But as a nation, my nation has to start on this date. He teaches them that my people have a different timetable, my people work on a different schedule. Not only does it require their participation, it says something I believe it's a 12 verse 4 that I've saw that I found very interesting. And you can read the whole text and you can find it. It says that if there is a lamb and if the household is too small for the lamb, so understand that he's telling them to take the first spotless, the first blameless lamb and to take it and slaughter it and to eat it. But then there are some households that were too small to eat a full lamb and it was very important that they finished the full lamb. And so he goes I need you to take inventory of the people around you to make sure that they can align with this mandate. I need you to not just be worried about you and covering yourself in this moment. The framework of being my people is.

Honestly, this is like not even a shade thing, but some of us are really. We're playing big, but on the inside, small. My faith is small. My strength is small. And I've been playing big for so long that almost no one would notice it. But God says in this moment, to be my people, you can't just be worried about yourself. And as I was thinking about this season and why God would give me this message in this time where so many people are suffering, where so many people are in trouble, I think it would be foolish of us to believe that the only people in pain right now are those impacted by the government shutdown. Surely they're being impacted, but there are some of us who are going through things in isolation that will never make the headlines. Jamaica in the headlines for a few days and then no longer. Some of us are suffering some silent battles that no one knows about. And if we are going to survive these times as people of God, we have to be willing to be in partnership with one another. One of the principles that God lays.
C
Out for those who will be a.
A
Part of this nation, his holy chosen people, is not just that it requires their participation, but it requires their collaboration. Everybody's got to do it. At the same time, they got to have the same amount of resources. They have to be in synchronicity if they are going to be effective. Why do I say that to you? Because God told me. And I know God told me because all throughout this service, I've been listening to the worship songs and the little things that have been. And God has made it so clear to me that too many of us have become comfortable being islands and that our strength is in numbers. I am telling you right now. And just as the Word declared for them in the ch, for the children of Israel, that If everyone aligned and they participated and everyone aligned and they collaborated, the plagues that hit their land would pass over their homes because they were covered by the blood. I know that this is a framework for the Kingdom of Heaven because in the New Testament we come to understand that he is the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. And all they had to do was get under the blood if they wanted the plague take to pass them over.
C
I don't know who you are. You may be under the blood, but.
A
Did you check to see if the person beside you was under the blood too? I know we don't witness anymore, and I know we think that everyone can.
C
Get their testimony online. But I am telling you, there may.
A
Be a few of us who need.
C
To look beyond our household to make.
A
Sure that someone connected to us is under the blood.
C
God says, I've given you faith, I've given you power.
A
I've given you wisdom and insight. Why would you keep it to yourself when someone else is in need? The Kingdom of Heaven is about us connecting and collaborating so that we can do Kingdom business at a time when evil is taken over.
C
I don't know who you are, but.
A
I want you to know that the word is still true. That the wealth of the wicked is.
C
Stored up for the righteous. I don't know who you are, but.
A
I need you to believe that I've never seen the righteous forsaken, nor their.
C
Seed begging for bread. I don't know who you are, but I want you to understand that we here at the Potter's house have made a decision that it does not have to affect our house in order for us to make sure that your house is covered. I don't know who you are, but I need you to know that the same blood that exists over my house is available for your house. And I want to prophesy over us right now as a community that the plagues that we see in this land, that the devastation that we see in this land will not come near our dwelling place. And I need to understand if there are about two or three people who are crazy enough to have the faith to believe that the blood is going to allow it to pass over my house.
A
The blood. The blood.
C
The blood. The blood.
A
The blood.
C
The blood. The blood is not just for me. The blood is for you too. And if you don't have enough strength right now to plead the blood over your house, I want you to understand that God's watching for somebody who will make make sure that they'll have enough blood to cover Their own door post. I wish I could say that better, but you gotta make a decision as a member of the Kingdom of Heaven that can't nobody die on my watch. Can't nobody go hungry on my watch. Can't nobody be without power on my watch. You got to use whatever God has given you. If it's faith, you better use it. If it's prayer, you better use it. You may not have money, money to give, but I heard God saying you are prayer warrior. That you can pray in a way that money came by. You better put that law degree to use. You better put that gift to you. You better write songs that set people free. Who is the Kingdom of Heaven? The Kingdom of Heaven are those who do the work of the Lord. Not just when times are good, but when times are bad. When times are bad. The kingdom, the kingdom. The Kingdom. The Kingdom makes a difference.
A
The Kingdom.
C
No gift too small, no talent too big, no anointing too little. It's going to take the collective anointing of the people in this room to go to war with the adversaries that exist outside of this room. But if we get this thing right, baby, if we get this thing right, there's no devil in hell. There's no demon known to man, there's no witch nor no warlock that could come up against the blood that covers us.
A
God specifically highlighted to me that we don't have to be in a season where we feel like we have all the right things and all the right strategies. We just have to be willing to have the right people around us and to allow ourselves not just to take care of people, but to be cared for as well. You gotta admit, when you need help and when you don't have enough, and that requires vulnerability for sure. And it requires you to come out of isolation for sure. But as the Kingdom of Heaven, as this people that God has allowed to be holy and set apart. Our strength has always been in numbers. God didn't allow Mary to just conceive by the Holy Spirit without letting her know that Martha was going through something too. When he sent the disciples out, he sent them out in pairs. Peter had John, Paul and Silas, Paul and Timothy. He made sure that there was strength in numbers. And in this room, there are people who are strong in a place where you're weak and people who are weak in a place where you are strong. If we don't take the time to see the people that God has placed around us, we may master loving God. We may even master loving ourselves. But that wasn't all of the greatest commandment, it was about loving our neighbors too. What if everything God's going to do to take care of his people is going to happen through the people he's left his spirit with? This should be our finest hour. This should be the moment where everyone knows more than ever who our God is. This should be the moment where there is no denying whose side we're on, because they know us by the way we love one another. If you're in this room and you've allowed yourself to fall into this space of isolation where you don't know how to let anyone in, or maybe you only let people in who can't pull you out, that happens too. Sometimes when we're sick, we only want to be around other sick people because they make us feel less bad about ourselves. And being around healed people or holy people or people who were searching for righteousness makes us feel so inadequate that we don't reach out to them. I get that. I know that well. But those of us who have made it somewhat to the other side, and we still got other sides to make it too, because ain't nobody arrived. Nobody. We should have enough humility that when we see somebody stuck in sin that we go to them in love because we know what it's like to be stuck ourselves. If you're in this room and you're stuck and you're by yourself, I just want you to wave at me. You stuck in something and you feel a little alone. Yeah, I know that takes courage. Just wave at me. Now, if you buy somebody who has their hand up, even if you have your hand up, take a minute and look at that person. Take them in fully. Fill your heart and your eyes with love. Oh, Jesus. And look at that person. The hands and feet of Jesus. You get to be. Look at that person. And I want you. You don't even have to ask them if they saved. We'll get to that part. But right now I want you to plead the blood of Jesus over them because the enemy's been waging war against them in an area of isolation. And they have felt like they're in it on their own. But God says that today will be a day of deliverance. Come on, Church. I know some of y' all got to go to brunch, but some of us got some souls we got to save. And I hear God saying it's going to be a day of deliverance. Deliverance in the name of Jesus. Where the enemy has waged war, where the enemy has isolated you made you feel alone.
C
Made you feel like you'll never beat that devil.
A
Made you feel like you'll never break that generational curse.
C
Made you feel like you'll never have power or authority. We, as a body of believers plead the blood of Jesus over your life. We declare a hedge of protection over over your mind. We come up against the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We come up against the spirit of inadequacy. In the name of Jesus. We decree and declare right now. Devil, you have no place here. We decree and declare right now that wherever the blood is that the plague will pass over. I plead the blood of Jesus right now that what the enemy has been trying to. Trying to release in your life will be stopped right now. Where two or three are gathered in my name, Jesus says I'll be in the midst. It's not just you and that person. I release the power of God over their life. I release the power of the Holy Spirit over their minds. Who the Son has set free will be free indeed. I decree freedom in your marriage. I decree freedom in your finances. I decree freedom in your creativity. I decree freedom in your passion, health in your body. I decree it right now in the name of Jesus. The curse is broken. The enemy is destroyed. He that began to work in you shall complete it until the days of Jesus Christ. The blood, the blood. The blood. The blood. The blood. The blood. The blood.
A
The blood.
B
The blood.
C
The blood. Until all are free. Until all declare, until every tongue confesses. Until everyone knows that he is still God. I decree the blood of Jesus for your coming in your going. I decree the blood of Jesus over your children. I decree the blood of Jesus over your household.
A
Freedom.
C
Freedom.
A
Freedom.
C
Freedom.
A
Freedom.
C
Freedom. I refuse to rebuke darkness. I rebuke depression. I rebuke freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Suicide, you gotta go. They tried once and failed. Because God knows that no weapon formed against them will be able to prosper. I plead the blood cancer. You gotta go Grief, you've been here long enough. I decree the blood get up and walk. Take up your bed. Can you imagine with all of the faith in this room what the Lord could do? Somebody could get free from oppression right now. Somebody could start walking in a power and authority right now. Addiction can break off of somebody right now. Your isolation has an expiration. God says come, come out, come out, wherever you are. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound on heaven. And whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I lose freedom. I lose power. I lose victory. And while I'm losing, let Me start. Until I start binding up every thought that wages war against the knowledge of Christ. I bind it up right now.
A
Deliverance. Deliverance. Deliverance. Deliverance. If you come out of your isolation.
C
It'Ll deliver a whole people. If you come out of your isolation, it won't just be you who comes free. It'll be everything connected to you. I'll go back in your past and lose some things that were bound until you got free. If you get out of your isolation.
A
You gotta want to be free. You gotta want to be free. You gotta participate in your deliverance.
C
It's not just gonna fall in your lap.
A
But if you get hungry enough to really want to be free, you gotta.
C
Tear your own walls down.
A
Sometimes you gotta press into the worship.
C
Even if it ain't hit you yet. Cause you know something in your spirit.
A
Want to be free.
C
I feel it kicking in your body. Something in your spirit want to be free. Something in your mind want to be free. You got to press into this. It ain't no 10 minute deliverance. Sometimes it takes more. You got to have a little sweat equity to get this level of deliverance.
A
I want to be free. I want to be free. I'll pay the cost to be free. I'll pay the cost to be free. I'll let somebody in you in this room. And your pride and ego going to keep you bound. But I hear God saying your isolation has an expiration.
C
There will be a moment where this isolation goes from transformation into devastation. If you don't move out of that space of isolation, your pride and your ego are going to kill that gift that God placed on the inside of you. Don't you think that you're working on God's timeline? Don't you think you're working on your own timeline? You are working on God's timeline. That's why when God told Moses, I don't care if you're ready, I'm ready. That's what I'm telling you. God's not waiting for you to be ready.
A
He's ready.
C
He says, for such a time as this, I need people who are going after my own heart.
A
If I were you, I would keep pressing in until letting someone in felt easy. If I were you, I would keep pressing in until letting someone in felt easy. Because you can't beat this thing on your own. God goes out of his way to make sure, even when Egypt is still the land of their oppression, to teach them the power of coordination, collaboration and participation, that this will not just be me showing up for you you gonna have to show up for you too.

Host/Speaker: Sarah Jakes Roberts
In this powerful sermon, Sarah Jakes Roberts explores the theme of "The Expiration of Isolation." Drawing from Exodus 12, she delves into the biblical narrative of the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt, highlighting how their participation in their own deliverance parallels the necessity for believers today to break out of self-imposed or circumstance-driven isolation. Through raw honesty, relatable stories, and emphatic encouragement, Sarah emphasizes that spiritual transformation occurs not just in solitude, but through partnership, vulnerability, and collective faith.
Scripture Reference: Exodus 12:2-13
The Israelites were instructed by God to participate actively in their deliverance by preparing the Passover lamb and marking their doors with its blood—a distinct departure from the previous plagues where God acted alone.

“Deliverance is not just something that God does for us, it's something he does with us and through us.” (09:13)
God prepares Israel for life after slavery while they are still oppressed, emphasizing that formation precedes freedom.
Sarah takes an informal poll about ease in asking for help, pointing out most people struggle with admitting need due to past betrayals, disappointments, or learned self-reliance.
Isolation isn’t just physical—it manifests emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, in marriages, workplaces, and even crowded worship settings.
Causes of isolation:
Quote:
“It's not that you don't have the need. You just learned that it wasn't okay to have the need.” (13:03)
Sarah recounts biblical figures who encountered God alone:
Sometimes, God invades isolation intentionally:
“Some of us met God because God invaded our isolation.” (17:30)
Testimony:
“What couldn't be done in a room at church, God saw me in the midnight hour and taught me who He was in isolation.” (17:58)
“You will become comfortable in an isolation that was meant to be a vessel of transformation… but some of you have made isolation your destination when it was supposed to be the place of encounter so that you can be transformed and then released.” (19:20)
“In isolation sometimes you forget who you are… when you are supposed to be activated.” (31:46)
“Jesus goes into the wilderness to let him know this is just a preview… I’m not just going to overcome you in the wilderness in isolation, but when I get finished on that cross, I’m gonna stop by hell. I’m gonna take the keys to death… to sin in isolation.” (41:41)
All Israelites had to participate and collaborate for the plague to pass over—spiritual survival depended on collective obedience and care.
Practical Insight:
“You may be under the blood, but did you check to see if the person beside you was under the blood too?” (60:25)
Sarah urges listeners to check on and intercede for those around them, reminding that Kingdom business is never a solo act.
Vulnerability: Admit when you need help, accept care from others, recognize that your deliverance is tied to collective faith and collective action.
“You gotta admit when you need help and when you don’t have enough, and that requires vulnerability for sure.” (64:05)
Participation in Your Own Deliverance:
“You’ve got to participate in your deliverance. It's not just gonna fall in your lap.” (74:13)
Urgent Warning:
“There will be a moment where this isolation goes from transformation into devastation. If you don’t move out of that space of isolation, your pride and your ego are going to kill that gift that God placed on the inside of you.” (75:22)
On Isolation and Transformation:
“Isolation is not its destination… but some of you have made isolation your destination when it was supposed to be a place of encounter.” (19:20)
On God’s Relentless Pursuit:
"He leaves the 99 to go get the 1. Because I won't allow you to be isolated." (19:26)
On Community Deliverance:
“If you come out of your isolation, it won't just be you who comes free. It'll be everything connected to you.” (73:32)
Empowering Listeners:
"What Jesus does in the wilderness and isolation gives us a foreshadowing of what it means to have authority." (42:54)
Practical Community Challenge:
“You may not have money to give, but I heard God saying you are a prayer warrior—that you can pray in a way that money can't buy. You better put that law degree to use. You better write songs that set people free.” (62:17)
The Promise of Protection:
“The blood is not just for me. The blood is for you too… you gotta make a decision as a member of the Kingdom of Heaven that can't nobody die on my watch. Can't nobody go hungry on my watch. Can't nobody be without power on my watch.” (62:17)
“Your isolation has an expiration.” (74:59)
Sarah closes by urging the congregation to continue pressing into vulnerability, partnership, and spiritual collaboration, echoing that deliverance and survival—especially in challenging times—come when we move from isolated individuals to a united, participating body.
