Foreign this is the Potter's House Podcast. We're here to keep you filled with the Spirit and guided by the Scriptures. This is the Potter's House Podcast. We're here to keep you filled with the Spirit and guided by the scriptures. Matthew chapter 4 Matthew chapter 4 Pastor Sarah mentioned this a segment of this last Sunday. Almost jumped out of my skin last Sunday because I'm like no, don't preach my message. But it was funny how God was setting it up. So what she said last Sunday. God kind of illuminated this Sunday. Matthew Gospel chapter 4 I am reading it from the NIV version then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and Said, if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. Jesus says, it is written, man shall not live but by bread alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took him up to a high city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down, for it is written he will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up with their hands so that you would not strike your foot against a stone. Jesus answered them, it is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test again. The devil took him to a very high mount and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and worship me. Jesus said to him, away from me, Satan, for it is written, worship the Lord your God and serve him only. I don't want to stop right there. Verse number 11. Then the devil left him and the angels came to attend to him. While I have your attention across the world and in here for the next few seconds, for the next few moments, I want to talk from this particular subject. The Rumble in the Jungle. The Rumble in the Jungle. You could take your seats. The Rumble in the Jungle. Well, let's go to work. Let's go to work. The Rumble in the Jungle. Some. Some of you. Some of you. And I'm not really old enough, but some of you aren't old enough to remember this particular topic. The Rumble in the Jungle. Quickly, let me give you some historical value that this is not just some topic that I'm rhyming about. The Rumble in the Jungle is actually an event. It is an event where. Who. I consider the Goat the greatest of all times. This is an event. This is not a basketball story. Who. You want to argue who the Goat is? This is undeniably the Goat. A young man by the name of Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali has been on what I would like to call a sabbatical for his stance. All of a sudden, he's presented with an opportunity to fight a young man by the name of George Foreman. I'm not talking about your grill. I'm not talking about what you use to cook your hamburger. I'm talking about the original George Foreman. At the time, George Foreman was undefeated. He's 25 years old. He has beat the brakes off of everybody. This is an historical event. And what's that makes it so historical? So now you have somebody who is undefeated, who now has an opponent who has appeared to Be past his prime, outdated on a sabbatical. But what makes it so great now that this does not take place in the United States. It takes place in the great continent of Africa, as a matter of fact, called Zaire, as a matter of fact, now known as Dominican Republic of Congo. It takes place and there's such. Everyone's coming. It's a cultural event. It's a political event. And everybody's coming from around the world. And for all we know, Muhammad Ali, his time has passed. He's a. Has been. He used to be great. Surely he can't fight any more. He's past his prime. Watch this. We haven't seen him, so surely he can fight. Can I pause right there, parenthetically, and inject this? Please don't get it confused. Just because you can't see me does not mean I can't fight. Okay, okay, okay. I'm not. I'm not going to bother. Just because I've been absent off the scene. As a matter of fact, God has been preparing me for a public fight because I fought some of my stuff privately. So it's interesting now that there are odds that are stacked against Muhammad Ali. As a matter of fact, if you were a betting man or betting woman at the time, it was 4 to 1 odds that there's no way in the world that George is going to let Muhammad Ali win. Catch this. Because the same people that beat Muhammad Ali, George beat them. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Devil, just because you beat them with that, that doesn't mean you're going to beat me with the same thing. Okay, okay, okay. See, sometimes we get confused. We think because they lost in an area, that does not mean you're going to lose in the same area. That's why I am very careful about people who says, well, it didn't bother me. I didn't make it. I'm sorry. I am not you. I walk in a different oil. I walk in a different anointing. So please forgive me if I'm not bothered by your struggles. Okay? The text, it is. It is. It is so interesting that Muhammad Ali does not even consider the fact that he could lose. It's not even a thought in his mind that I'm going to lose to somebody who is undefeated. Muhammad Ali goes to the fight already declaring I've already won. Can you imagine if we would walk out, Christian, Walk the same way? Can you imagine if. I know I'm getting ready to fight, but it doesn't matter what the enemy's throwing my way. I Already know the God that I serve. I already know the opponent that I'm against. I already know the obstacle I'm going to face. But I've already. I've already. I've already defeated it. I've already. I've already defeated. Somebody shout, I've already won. I've already won. So since you say you've already won, I'm so glad. So now that introduces Matthew chapter four. Matthew, chapter four. The text says, he's led by the spirit. Then Jesus was led by the spirit. Well, wait a minute. One of the worst things in the world to do is to start a story. In the middle of the story. When did Jesus get introduced to the spirit? Dr. James, now I gotta back up to chapters number three. Cause number three is pivotal to the fight. Chapter number three. If I could tell you the story. Jesus shows up at the Jordan. John the Baptist points him out and he says, that's him right there. Okay. Think you're not strange in this next season of your life when God allowed people to start pointing you out? That's them right there. Okay, okay, okay. Let me pause. Let me pause for just one second. Jesus comes to the Jordan. He does not say, I am Jesus. He does not say, I am the anointed one. He just shows up. Okay, okay. He shows up and John points. Sometimes all you have to do is just. Okay, somebody just heard what I just said. You too busy trying to market yourself. Put yourself on social media. God says, all you got to do is show up and I'll make sure they point you out. Stop trying to point your own self out. I'm not against marketing. As a matter of fact, I believe in marketing. However, there comes a time when it comes to doing the assignment of God, you got to let the anointing just point you out. Because here's what's critical. He's in the crowd, but John still finds him. Which says to me, God will find you in the middle of a crowd. God. Everybody getting ready. What about me? God said, you worried about the wrong thing. Don't worry about who's in the crowd. Just worry about you needing to show up. Because when you show up, I'll have somebody anointed enough to point you. Somebody shout, point them out. Point, point, point. Point him out. Point, point him out. The text says, as he's pointing, John the Baptist has the privilege of baptizing Jesus. He baptized Jesus. You know the story. The Bible says, the heavens open, the angel descend, the dove descends, the Holy Spirit descends, falls on Jesus. And then there's a voice that says, this is my beloved Son, in whom I'm well pleased. This is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. Dr. James, I've read this scripture over and over, and it hit me while I was reading it. He said, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. And the next word is then. Is then. So what happens at baptismal? What happens. Oh, for those who got baptized yesterday, what happens at the baptism? Here's what happened. There's an impartation and there's a validation. Okay, okay. There's an impartation of the Holy Spirit. And then there's a declaration that God says, this is my beloved Son to whom I'm well pleased. But before you shout, the declaration isn't enough. I believe that's the problem with some church people today. You think just because you declared it, it's just supposed to come to you. You forgot about the word Then. Okay, okay, okay. After he declared, the text says then. Wait. Which means God goes silent after he declares it. He never says anything else again. Can you imagine having to navigate through the hard, contrasting season of Jesus to go from one season to the next? Okay, okay, let me draw the picture. He goes from baptizing him. He goes from baptizing him to a wilderness. He goes from a crowd to isolation. He goes from hearing God's voice to fighting with the devil's voice. I don't know who I'm talking to today, but every now and then you have to deal with the dichotomy of knowing God's voice but wrestling with the devil's voice all in the same season. It all happens in the same. It all happens in the same season. It all happens in the same season. Wait, wait. So is it possible that God's silence is a sign of promotion? Is it possible you're too busy arguing God, why are you not talking to me? And God says, why should I talk to you when I've already equipped you? There's nothing more for me to say. When I said, that's my son, I'm pleased. I gave you everything you need. So stop asking me to do something you can do your. Okay, okay. So God's silence is promotion? Okay, okay. I don't. I don't think you hear me. When God gets quiet, he said, I believe in you. When God gets quiet, he said, I trust you. When God gets quiet, he said, I gave you everything He. For what's next? When God gets quiet, he said, now show the people. Show the devil everything that I gave you is. See, see, see, see. Here, here, here's when we get to Dan, God gets silent. And the Bible says, he's led by the Spirit. He's led by the Spirit. Watch this. He is led by the Spirit. Catch this. Which means he's humble enough to follow. Okay, okay. The spirit didn't drag him into the wilderness. The spirit just went to going. And Jesus said, I'm going to follow you. There used to be a song, I won't bother. It says, I follow Jesus. Okay, I know that might be a little antiquated for some of you, but guess this. There's a blessing in following. Okay, okay, here's where you want to shout. Because most of us, we want to shout when we led into prosperity. Lead me God. I've got a new house. I got a new car. But what about when he leads you to the wilderness? See, cuz here. Cuz here's what's strange. Because the wilderness, according to Greek, this is a barren place and a dry place. Okay, here's where I think you missed a shower the first time. He leads you to a barren place and a dry place. Okay. I missed it a second time too. How can a fruitful God lead you to a barren place? And nothing changes? Because anytime God shows up, the situation has to change. So I don't care what it was before me, but when I come on the scene, things gotta change for the. That's why maybe you need to go to the family reunion. Because when what used to be dry. Oh, things about to change, baby. Cause all I did was show. All I did was. I just showed up. All I did was showed up. But I gotta have to wrestle with this because all of this is orchestrated by God. All of this is orchestrated by God. Which means God is conducting the symphony of the wilderness. And what happens is, truth be told, I know I'm not by myself. Sometimes I struggle with God orchestrating. Okay, okay, okay. I'm by myself to our online people. Everybody's online. Nobody here struggle with that. Just mean. It's just us that I listen sometimes. I'm like God now, why? N N. I'm still saved. But listen, God, of all the places you could have taken me, of all the places I could have been, of all the people I could have did something to. Why in the world you tell me to pray for them when you know what they did to me? Why are you telling me to bless them? And you know they still owe me money. Why? I just don't understand. I'm trying to figure this thing, okay? Okay, okay. So I'm having a conversation with my brother, Wall Street Trapper. We're having this conversation. He makes this statement in conversation that blew my mind, and I grabbed it and I said, boy, I'm using that. I'm using that. He made this statement, but he said it was so powerful. He says, you can't negotiate the necessary. I say, wait a minute. Wait. Wait a minute. Now. He went somewhere else. I was like, wait a minute. Why am I negotiating the wilderness that I need to go through? Because God is orchestrating the blessing for me. So why. Because I am comfortable with where I were. God is shifting me to a new seat. Okay, okay, here's. Here's why. Here's why. You can't negotiate the necessary. Here. Here's why. Somebody shall bless me, Lord. Okay, okay. Somebody type it in the comments. Somebody shout, bless me, Lord. Don't run out of this church. Because sometimes the blessing that God gives you is a battle. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not gonna let that go. Sometimes the blessing that God gives you is a battle. You're too busy asking for stuff. You're too busy praying about things. God is saying, don't pray for things. Pray for the preparation. Because that's the blessing. Because you need the wilderness for what you've been praying for. Okay, here's. Here's what. Oftentimes we don't understand. Who you are and who you are becoming has a space in between it. The space between who you are and who you are becoming is called a fight. Okay, okay, I'm gonna say that again. The space between who you are and who you are becoming is called a fight. And the enemy will do everything he can to keep you with who you are. So you don't know who you are becoming, because who you are becoming is who God has declared you to be. Who you are becoming. The enemy has a problem with. He doesn't have a problem with who you are right now because you're comfortable in the comfort zone. Okay, somebody shout, prove it. I'm so glad you asked me to prove it. When Jesus is baptized, that's his comfort zone. The enemy does not attack him where he's comfortable. You wonder why you're not being attacked because you comfortable. And your comfort zone has turned into your bondage. Stop being so committed to your comfort zone. I'm comfortable right here, God. Just leave me right here. I don't want to do nothing. I don't want to go through nothing. I'm so sick and tired of this. God Says, I need you uncomfortable. I need you. I need you uncomfortable. Why? Because. Watch this. Because who you're becoming needs to come out of you. Because who you're becoming needs to come out of you. And who you're becoming cannot happen in the season of comfortability. Who you are becoming cannot happen in the season of baptismal warfare. Does not happen when he's being baptized. The devil does not attack him while he's being baptized. Wait, wait, wait. Watch the divine order. What's divine order? The devil does not attack him when he's being baptized. When he's being anointed, the devil has to wait until after he's anointed to attack him. Okay, let me. Let me answer some of your prayers. God has such a divine order. He makes the enemy wait until you're anointed before he attacks you. Okay, you just missed him. You're wondering why you under attack. You haven't done anything wrong. I'm under attack because I'm anointed. I didn't ask for it. I just showed up. I didn't believe it. I just showed up and God fed you. And I don't know who this is for today, but I want to bring clarity to somebody. You have not done anything wrong. You are not living outside of his will. As a matter of fact, the wilderness is the will. Catch this. Catch this. You can have this. The devil has to stand by and wait until the anointing falls on you. And then God flips the script and proves to him the anointing that's on your life. He can't defeat it. Okay. Which says to me, my anointing attracts attacks. My anointing puts off a fragrance that says, attack me. Come try me. Though the weapon might be formed. Come try me, baby. I didn't ask for it. I'm just walking. Okay. Gotta come the text, y'. All. Sit down. Sit down. The person behind you can't see. The person behind you can't see. Sit down. Sit down. Please sit down. The person behind you can't see. The text is clear. It is clear because he anoints him and then he leads him to be attacked. But in verse number one and two, he says he's led by the spirit into the wilderness, where he's fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. And here's the kicker. It says, and he's hungry, y'. All, I ain't even gonna lie. If I fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, can I get either or 40 days or 40 nights? Can a brother get options My dear, Because I can't do. And can we do all. But God knows when he's preparing you for something bigger than you, you can't choose the option that's comfortable. You got to do 40 days and 40 nights. The text says, kiss this, y'. All. The text says, and he's hungry. He has the right to be hungry. I would have a problem with Jesus if after 40 days, he wasn't hungry. I really. Me and Jesus had an argument. Now, how you gonna go forward today, bro? How you gonna go forward? How you expect me to live like that after day three, I'm having a headache. See, y' all don't understand. I've known P.T. for years. P.T. is my brother, my pastor, my friend. When P.T. be calling his fastest, I'd be like, okay, get it together. Let's go. Me and my wife had a pow wow. I was like, okay, what we gonna fast from? You know, we're gonna do these 10 days. So I gotta have a plan. Unless God call me on a spontaneous fast. Okay, I got a plan. Okay, but 40 days. Catch this. And the text says, he's hungry. Which. He should be hungry. Watch this. Which now is the prime time for attack. Because not only is he hungry, he's vulnerable. See, when you're hungry, that means you have a strong desire for something. But when you're vulnerable, that means. And you're liable to be influenced. I want to talk to somebody today who don't want to be real churchy, but to tell God the honest truth, every now and then, the enemy tricked you, and you fell victim to the influence. I wish I had some real saints. I ain't talking about. You were born speaking in tongues. But I wish I had about 10 people in here and 10 online that said every now and then, I stumbled a little bit. I fell under the pressure. I've done some wrong things. I'm not talking about you perfect Christians. God bless y'. All. I put you in your place. But for the few of us that's been hungry and did some crazy thing. Okay, I'm glad. I'm glad you said it, because here's what he does. He says, listen. He said, since you're hungry, since you can be influenced, since you're vulnerable, turn these stones to bread. Okay, I really. I really don't have an argument with that at first. Because he's in the wilderness. Ain't no bread around, and he's hungry. He's in the wilderness. There's no bread around, and he's hungry. Which a template for Me, don't think nobody's watching you, that God isn't taking notice of the decisions you make. Okay, okay, okay. That's a holiness note right there. He says, turn these stones to bread. But here's the problem that I have with this. He says, turn the stone to bread. Jesus is hungry. The Bible says he's hungry, Auntie. The Bible says he's hungry. So why wouldn't you turn the stones to bread? Until he showed me this point, he says, here's the problem, Don. He says, you're trying to get me to supply a legitimate need, an illegitimate way. I know I'm not talking to some people, but I know some people who have been guilty of saying, God, you didn't do it quick enough. And I had a legitimate need, so I had to step in and do it myself. So I had to work an illegitimate way. Boy, I wish I had some people that would tell the truth. I'm not talking about why you're saved right now. I'm talking about you had a legitimate need. And you said, God, you didn't meet my deadline. So what I gotta do is step in and do some things, okay? You're trying to satisfy a legitimate need, an illegitimate way. It is no different than if you're trying to supply your financial need. Most of us desire generational wealth and God says that is a legitimate need. Just don't try to do it an illegitimate way. So instead of paying your tithe, instead of budgeting, instead of saving, instead of getting high yielding savings account, you look for get rich quick schemes. You gamble. Boy, if I just won that $900 million. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm playing with somebody right about now. I'm bothering somebody. Oh, I can't. I'm not gonna bother that. I'm not. I'm not gonna bother that. The season Saints, back in the day, they said, you ain't gotta say amen, just say ouch. Just ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. I say ouch. Now, I'm not saying this to the potter's house, which I am now the associate pastor, but when I was a senior pastor in Jacksonville, I'm not saying this to the potter's house. I'm not saying this to the potter's house. And those who are listening, I'm saying when I was a senior pastor in Jacksonville, I told him, don't you ever go waste your money and play that lottery. Don't you ever do that. Don't you ever do that. But just in case you Win. Pay your tithe. Don't you do it. But just in case you win, the wealth of the wicked is laid up just in case you win. Okay, okay. We're not gonna bother. You're trying to supply a legitimate need, an illegitimate way. And he says, turn these stones to bread. Well, I have another problem with that. Not only are you trying to satisfy a legitimate need, an illegitimate way, the devil says, if you are the son of God, if. Which would imply assumption, which would imply there's a doubt. If you are the son of God, turn these stones to bread. I probably would have been okay if he said, you son of God. But he said, if you are the son of God, turn. Turn the stones to bread. My question to you, Church, is, why the devil offering him what he already is? Okay, my Bible readers. And John, he says, I am the bread of life. Anybody comes after me, you will not hunger again. Anybody that runs after me, you up, will hung, not thirst again. He says, if you come after me, I. I am the bread of life. Wait, wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute. The first word is I am. Where did he get that knowledge from? I am. Is it possible he borrows his daddy's word from the book of Exodus and he says, who shall I say sent me? I am the bread. So in everything you need, I. He said, okay, okay, so here. Here's what we got. Here's what we gotta dive a little deep. So when Satan says, turn the stones to bread. See, you gotta watch words etymology. The word bread that Satan used is the Greek word artos. The word artos literally means divine provision. So what he does is he's recognized who he's in the presence with. And he says, if you are divine like you say you are, then created. Catch this. Here's where he messed up all of this. Y'. All is Jesus fighting the fight that Israel couldn't win. Israel is in the wilderness for 40. God is reversing the curse. So what one couldn't do in the wilderness, the other one's getting ready to switch it in the wilderness. And he says, watch this, Israel. I show you what you should have done. So he says, turn these stones to bread. Jesus says, wait a minute. It is written that man should not live by bread alone. But every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Hey, Church, we can't run past that because he quotes scripture. So we have to take a deep dive in that. So Jesus quotes Deuteronomy chapter eight. Well, what's happening in Deuteronomy, chapter eight? There is an argument about eating in the desert. There is an argument and the children of Israel are complaining about food. And God sends them a reminder. Wait a minute, boy, have you lost your mind? I fed you with manna. I gave you something you couldn't even explain. Explain. Can I pause right there for just one second and have a quick five second testimony? Has God ever given you something and you couldn't explain it? I don't know why I got it, I don't know how he gave it to me, and I'm not trying to figure out why. But all I know is I'm in the season that I'm eating and okay, but here's what happens. He says, make artos. Make, make, make artos. He said, okay, I'm going to do that, but here's what happens. If you're going to make artos, you got to know it's not a natural thing. It's spiritual. He says, you don't live by bread alone. In other words, I'm not negating the human responsibility of the ability to eat. He says, the way I'm taking you, you're going to need to fulfill more than your physical body. Catch this. You. You're going to need a divine provision. And the word divine provision literally means to provide for in a manner that cannot be explained. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Here's where we go wrong. We're looking for explanations to the provision that God has given me and you're looking to explain it to people. Can I pause right here for just one second? I'm in a season of my life. If you can't see what God is doing, I ain't got time to explain it to you because my explanation might distract you. Because you gonna say, why did God do it for you? I'm gonna say, I don't know. I just showed up with my messed up thinking self. I just showed up. I showed up dirty, jacked up, smoking high, crazy as a bedbug. Only thing I figured was, listen, old me, you want me cool, I'm just gonna show up. God says, if you show up, I'll clean you up. And if I clean you up, I'll give you the divine provision that you need. So stop trying to explain to people why I know. I'm not, I'm not trying, I'm not trying to explain it anymore. I'm not, I'm not trying to explain anymore. Can I do something? I want to follow my theologians. This is Israel at best. This is my idea. He says, turn the stones to bread. Can I just Flip this for just one second. I want to flip it. Somebody shout, flip it. I want to change the main character. Just one time. Just one time. If you allow me to do this. I want to change the main character. I'm not saying this is absolutely right. I'm just saying this is exegetical. He says, turn the stone to bread. If I flip it, can I tell you, that's the problem with some of y'. All. You trying to get bread from stony people. Maybe you're looking at a stone and say, give me bread. Give me bread. Help me in the sea. You don't know what's wrong with me. They're saying, no, I don't know what's wrong with you. Maybe you're trying to figure out and grab something from people that God said, is not meant to be in the season of your life. Since you allow me to flip the main character, maybe you're asking the stone to give you something that it cannot give you. And stop waiting there. Frustrating. Asking it to give you something that it cannot give you. So maybe you gotta move. Okay, all right, all right. So, so, so, so we have. But we have other problems in the text. Not only do we find ourselves trying to satisfy a legitimate need, an illegitimate way, not only we find ourselves dealing with it. He says, cool. Since you want to use the word of God, are you okay with that? He said, yeah. He said, well, then let's move on. I'm going to take you to a high place in the temple. I'm going to take the Word to the church. I'm going to take Jesus to the church, a holy city, and stand at the highest point of the temple and tell him scripture. Jump down so your angels can catch you. That's the Pastor Don version, because you have charge of them. Jump down so the angels can catch you. This is a problem that most of us make a mistake and we do it in business. Jump down so the angels can catch you. He says, yo, check this out. Don't tempt God. Here's what I discovered. I've discovered this in reading this pass scripture. Every opportunity isn't a right opportunity. Every opportunity isn't a right opportunity. You better learn how to discern the proper opportunities. Okay, just because somebody suggested it, that doesn't mean that's the outfit you need for your battle. Come here, Saul. David has an opportunity to run up on Goliath. And Saul says, check this out. David, put this on. My suggestion is that you put this on like me. Since you going to a war, the problem I Have with David. We always shout that. David said, I can't wear this, and that's fine. I don't have a problem taking it off. I got a problem because he put it on. Why are you putting on something you've never fought in before? Why are you trying to fight like somebody else? Why are you trying to do what somebody else does? Baby, their equipment is not meant for your battle. This is why I don't judge people's praise. Praise them as hard as you want to. Cause I don't know what you going through. Cause what I'm not gonna let you do is influence mine. I'm a shout out. I' ma dance. And if my praise bother you, find another seat. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if my shot bother you. This church is big enough for you to slide to another aisle. Because as for me and my roast. Okay, I don't know who I'm talking to today, but okay, it is. See, you gotta know how to discern the right opportunities. Because he says, if you are the son of God, then jump if you are the son of God. Wait a minute. Why am I trying to convince you who I am? Why am I trying to waste my time trying to convince you the oil that God put on my life. Can I. Can I bother some people right here? I just want to bother you. I want to bother you. I. I told my wife this one time, I said, listen, if I ever have to walk in this house and say I'm the man of the house, I am no longer the man of the house. If I ever have to announce who I am, a lion doesn't have to announce that it's a lion. How do you know it's a lion when it shows up? As a matter of fact, when I show up. How do you know how I walk? How do you know how I move? How do you know? Because of the mane that's on my face. How do you know? Because I move like a lioness. Cause I move like a lion. How do you know? I don't have to tell you who I am, Baby. Watch me move. My movement dictates my character. I ain't got a cat. Matter of fact, stop all that talking when I move. Okay, okay, okay, okay. It's in the movement. It's in. It's. It's in. It's in my. It's in my movement. Catch. This here's why it's in my movement. Because lions don't respond. The dog's barking, boy. If I roll one time, I will ruin your life. Somebody missed that. Somebody missed what I just said. God has having mercy on your enemies. Because if you ever roared one time at a barking dog, your enemy better be thankful. If God ever released my roar. Okay, okay, okay. I. I say to myself all the time, my enemies need to shout. I need to see my enemies praising God. Why? Because God is silencing me from roaring. Because the truth be told, I'm only talking to a few of us that's in here. If the Holy Ghost ever lifted up off me and he let me be me and he let me roar. Just one good time you ever had in your life where you say, God, just let me give him one good one. Just one. Just give me 30 seconds, guys. I don't need 30. Give me 15 seconds. I have a preemptive strike. If you just give me one good. Say, give me. Give me one good time. One. One good time. He says this, but here's y' all. Sit down. Please sit down. The person behind you can't see. Sit down. Sit down. They can't see. Somebody say, make them stand up. No, he says, catch this. The wilderness is now God's supply for your life. That's going to give you everything you need. But here's what you need. Don't jump. I'm going to say it again. Don't jump. The enemy says, if you jump, you have charge over the angels. Hey, church, in our silence, we got to stop jumping at every word that sounds like God. Okay, I'm gonna say it again. Yeah, it's gonna get a little heavy right here. It's gonna get a little heavy. We got to stop jumping at everybody that say the Rapture Company.
