Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez explores Romans 5:2 to declare that God has lifted previous restrictions over your life. He challenges believers to stop stagnating in past hurts and instead run the race of faith with the 'baton' of their current circumstances, trusting that God's grace provides total access to a future of greatness.
Key points
- •Access is defined as receiving permission to enter a new environment or obtaining information that was previously restricted.
- •God uses the challenges and 'thorns' in our lives as tools for refinement; these are uniquely assigned to us because we are anointed to handle them.
- •Many believers remain stuck in 'expired seasons' because they are trying to access greatness using human reasoning rather than biblical principles.
- •Life is a relay race where God hands you a baton (your specific challenges or purpose); you must run with it rather than dropping it or standing still.
- •Success requires finishing the race with your testimony intact, proving that God's grace was sufficient through every trial.],life_application:

This week, identify one 'expired season' or past hurt you have been complaining about. Formally surrender it to God and ask for the discernment to see how that specific challenge is actually a 'baton' intended to move you toward your next level of greatness.
Reflection questions
- What 'wrong passcodes' (human logic, worldly systems) have you been using to try to unlock your purpose?
- Bishop Fernandez says you are uniquely 'anointed to handle your own drama.' How does this change your perspective on your current hardships?
- Are you currently standing still in a 'Get Set' position, and what is keeping you from running when God has already given the green light?
- Who are the negative influences or distractions in your life that you need to 'move out of the way' from so you can maintain your pace?

3:20area that you now have
3:25authorization to access
3:31here's what we need to recognize in this
3:34season we need to recognize in this
3:36season that God has granted us access to
3:40step into a new realm of Revelation and
3:46discovery that we have access right
3:50now into a new dimension of
3:55Revelation that God wants to reveal to
3:58all of us
4:00the
4:02unknown the
4:04unknown such as who he is who is God
4:09some of you are struggling to understand
4:11him and what he's doing and God says you
4:15now have access right now
4:19to the realm of
4:23Revelation you'll know that he loves
4:25you you you will know that he has has
4:30already forgiven
4:31you and that he wants you to live the
4:35good life he also wants you to discover
4:40some things here on the earth please
4:42don't make any mistake about it you are
4:45sent on the earth not to hurry to get to
4:50heaven
4:53wowow I know you're singing and you're
4:55clapping when we all get to heaven what
4:58a glorious time that will
5:01be I firmly believe that God placed you
5:04on the earth to discover some things and
5:07I would hate to know that so many of you
5:10are going to
5:11die they're going to have a funeral and
5:15they're going to say all the wonderful
5:16things about you but the sad part about
5:19it is you're going to the Grave full of
5:24potential because you didn't release on
5:27the earth what God has put on the inside
5:30of you you didn't discover all of what
5:33God has placed on the earth for you many
5:37of us have faced closed doors and
5:40obstacles that have kept us stagnant far
5:44too long leaving us stuck watch this in
5:49an expired
5:52season complaining and settling for what
5:55life has thrown our
5:58way God sent me here to tell some of
6:01you
6:03you are
6:05stuck in some expired
6:09Seasons you're
6:12stuck there's some things you're still
6:14talking about you're still crying over
6:17and God is saying it has
6:24expired right you're stuck in the past
6:28you're stuck with hurts and you're stuck
6:31with your you know your uncertainties
6:34and God is
6:35saying that you need to stop complaining
6:38about your past stop complaining about
6:40who left you in fact I'm here today to
6:43tell you it was good they left
6:47[Music]
6:50you cuz had they not it wouldn't have
6:54pushed you into where God is taking you
6:59so our biggest issue isn't life's
7:02challenges no it's not but it's our
7:06inability to accept what we cannot
7:10change and to use those circumstances as
7:13stepping stones to elevate us to the
7:17next level of greatness there's just
7:20some things you cannot
7:22change you cannot change your
7:25past there are mistakes that we have
7:28made we cannot not go back and change it
7:32admit it you made the
7:36mistake admit it you did some things
7:39that was
7:40wrong just admit it admit it that you
7:44didn't listen to your parents you didn't
7:46listen to your
7:47grandparents admit it you didn't listen
7:49to the voice of the Holy Spirit when he
7:51told you don't do certain
7:55things and you screwed up your life and
7:57set your life
8:00years
8:01backward admit it but you can no longer
8:06use those
8:08circumstances to block you from The Next
8:12Level so let me remind you that
8:16everything we desire according to God's
8:19word has already been made available to
8:23us the promises of God are accessible to
8:27every one of us and it's through his
8:30word and the power of His Name watch
8:34this it's through his word and the power
8:37of His Name that we gain
8:41access to those promises the power of
8:45His Name Romans 512 excuse me Romans 5:2
8:49says through him we also have access by
8:53faith we have accessed by faith through
8:56him the power of His name
9:00and could it be the reason why you have
9:03yet to tap into your greatness is
9:07because you're using the wrong
9:11passcode you're trying to use human
9:13reasoning you're trying to use your own
9:16human efforts you're trying to use the
9:19systems of the
9:20world to access your
9:23greatness the world will tell you just
9:26be a good citizen and here's what you do
9:29you know just do your thing and go to
9:32college and get a degree and when you
9:35get a degree find get your job or open a
9:37business and make all the money you want
9:40and don't worry about it just go to you
9:42know you know a lot of these what they
9:44call it happy hour and go to these clubs
9:47and go to these events and do all these
9:50things you don't have to go to church
9:51you know what if you don't even pray
9:53don't worry about it God understands you
9:55know and so forth you really don't need
9:57God you really don't need Church you
9:59know you you just you you can make it
10:01why you are successful you've got a
10:03degree on the wall man and everything is
10:06doing wonderful with you you're driving
10:08a nice car come on now when you step out
10:10of your house and you look at your house
10:12and you look at your driveway what's in
10:14there and some of youve got you know all
10:17kinds of stuff man you're wearing fancy
10:19clothes brand name stuff man you're
10:21doing well and Society has tell has told
10:25you that as long as you do that you're
10:27going to be fine you can access your
10:30greatness but if you were to talk to
10:32some of these people who have acquired
10:35all of those things they will tell you
10:38none of these things can truly give them
10:42satisfaction joy and peace because the
10:45Bible says what will it profit a
10:48man to gain all of the pledges of the
10:52world and lose his own soul so for those
10:55of you young people who are killing
10:58yourself
10:59just to make it
11:01big without
11:03God let this be a warning to you this
11:07morning that the God that I serve I
11:10don't know why he does this he'll give
11:12you a chance to make a fool out of
11:15yourself he will give you enough
11:18rope to go out there and become the
11:21prodigal and think that you don't need
11:24him and stray away but God knows you can
11:27just go as far as as you can but he has
11:31a way to say enough is
11:34enough am I talking to anybody in the
11:37house this
11:38morning he has a way of saying enough is
11:42enough and there Comes A Time in your
11:44life where your career can't help you
11:46come on now your business can't help you
11:49your boo can't help you come on now
11:51there comes a time you have to look to
11:53God who's the author and the finisher of
11:57your faith is anybody hearing me this
11:59this
12:01morning so you must
12:03agree that we make our lives more
12:07difficult when we don't live by bib
12:10biblical
12:11principles just like in any
12:15game you cannot win the prize if you
12:20don't follow the
12:22rules in any game you cannot win if you
12:27don't follow the rules
12:30likewise in your faith Journey if you're
12:33going to make it big and successful in
12:36this world you have to play by the rules
12:40of the scripture you
12:42see uh Reliance on human
12:47reasoning instead of aligning with God's
12:50word and God's
12:51principles will delay and sometimes deny
12:55your access to his plans for for your
13:00life depending on human logic your head
13:04knowledge while disregarding biblical
13:06principles can ultimately disqualify you
13:11from reaching your
13:13goal even with good
13:15intentions some of you you have good
13:18intentions and you really want to do
13:21what is right you really want to succeed
13:24you really want to take care of your
13:26family you really want to uh be
13:29successful uh in your career you really
13:32want your business to thrive you really
13:34want to do well at
13:37parenting but here's where you're
13:39failing you're trying to do it without
13:44God am you're trying to do it without
13:48God but I'm telling you if you disregard
13:52the scriptures if you don't put God in
13:55the equation you're not going to make it
13:57so let's settle this once and for all as
14:01a people you cannot go through life
14:04without facing

14:12you're running from a life of sin coming
14:16into the church no one gets through life
14:20without
14:22challenges but the question is when

15:36through this or do you sit there and get
15:38depressed for the rest of your life
15:40because you think it's unfair for God to
15:44allow those circumstances to come into
15:47your
15:49life cuz

20:59this morning but life God has permitted
21:04life to hand you something stay right
21:07there to hand you whatever that thing
21:10is and the question you have to ask
21:13yourself this
21:15morning do you still have access to the
21:19things that are before you up to you you
21:24get to choose if you're going to remain
21:27in your position
21:29with what life has given you without
21:32moving by
21:34faith you get to choose if you're going
21:37to sit in this season of your life when
21:40God has says I've handed you something
21:42it's time to move or you going to sit
21:45there and complain about what's wrong in
21:48your life or you going to run with what
21:51God has given you because ladies and
21:54gentlemen he's not going to take it back
21:56from you
22:00God I don't know who I'm preaching to
22:03he's not going to take it back from
22:05you he's going to give it to you and
22:09it's now your
22:10job that whatever he hands to you you
22:15have to remember that there's a set time
22:18there's a season between when God gives
22:21you
22:22something for you to then move forward
22:25to where he wants you to be this is
22:29where you're struggling with it's the
22:31Gap what do you do with Revelation
22:35impartation can you discover what God
22:37has for you do you not know that you're
22:40missing a whole lot of stuff in the
22:43season of
22:45procrastination God's trying to take you
22:47to bigger things but you're still stuck
22:51in what they did to you you're still
22:53stuck and how people have offended you
22:56and hurt you and you're sick and tired
22:58of where you are when God is saying I've
23:01given you an entire
23:04season to discover who I
23:10am to discover who I am so you are at a
23:15pivotal point in your life that requires
23:21discernment wisdom faith and
23:26perseverance life requires
23:29discernment what are you giving me God
23:32okay I don't like it but you must be up
23:34to something you got to be up to
23:36something so I discern that God's about
23:40to bless my life why because the
23:43pressure that's on me is going to equal
23:47something so big and great am I
23:52preaching to anybody here

38:57the the sound of my
38:59voice that God greatness is on the
39:01inside of them and everything that they
39:05have experienced in the past and in the
39:09present serves a
39:12purpose that you will use it to get them

39:18be that woman who's on the verge of
39:21committing
39:23suicide I bind that Spirit
