Summary

Bishop Henry Fernandez challenges believers to 'Step Up' by breaking free from spiritual stagnation and 'dead things' through radical obedience to God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Key points
  • •Obedience is the primary catalyst for biblical blessing and moving to the next level in one's faith journey.
  • •Spiritual stagnation often stems from being 'entangled' with dead things, including insecurity, unordained relationships, and poor stewardship.
  • •Personal intimacy with God is essential; you cannot rely solely on the faith or information provided by others (parents, grandparents, or even pastors).
  • •The Holy Spirit acts as the power that cuts through strongholds and chains that human effort alone cannot break.

  2. In what areas of your life are you following your emotions rather than the specific instructions of God's Word?
  3. Are you trying to know God for yourself, or are you living off of someone else's revelation?
  4. What is the specific 'step up' God is asking you to take in your finances or relationships today?

0:00Great is his faithfulness.
0:04Amen.
0:07What an opportunity we all have
0:10to be able to sing unto the Lord.
0:15Our expression of our gratitude towards
0:17him
0:19for his faithfulness
0:21to each and every one of us.
0:25There's a scripture I'm going to ask
0:26them to put up. We're going to read that
0:29as we receive our offering.
0:32And
0:34I want you to understand that
0:37the word of God
0:39really is clear when it comes to our
0:42participation
0:44in giving.
0:47I don't know if this is ever happened to
0:50you, but it's happening for me
0:53frequently and I'm quite sure I'm not
0:54the only one
0:57who's experiencing these things, but God
1:00keeps confirming
1:02his word.
1:04Always.
1:08Have you ever gotten up and heard
1:09something from the Lord or were thinking
1:11about something and all of a sudden
1:14somebody call you and confirm what you
1:16were thinking or you come to church and
1:18the pastor preaching what you've been
1:20thinking about or had a conversation
1:22with someone about?
1:24Well, we're living in the season of
1:27confirmation.
1:29And I'm going to tell you something,
1:31ladies and gentlemen, the thing that's
1:32going to get you through life, watch
1:34this, is not allowing yourself to be led
1:38by your emotions, your feelings,
1:41but you have to obey.
1:45It's either the word of God is true or
1:48it's the biggest lie ever known to
1:50mankind.
1:53Let me say it again.
1:55It's either the word of God is true or
1:57it's the biggest lie
2:00ever known to mankind.
2:03You either going to believe the word,
2:07be patient with the word and knowing
2:09that the word will work. If you work the
2:12word, the word will work. If you work
2:17the word, the word will work. If you
2:20work your feelings, if you work the
2:22opinions of people, if you work whatever
2:26society is saying, then the Bible that
2:31we preach about, you won't see it
2:34manifest in your life because for a lot
2:36of you, I hate to say it to you. I'm not
2:38trying to throw something at you, but a
2:41lot of you are trying, watch this, to
2:45know God through a person.
2:50Some of you, the only information you
2:53know about God is what you heard your
2:56preacher said.
3:01Is what you heard your mama told you.
3:03It's what you heard your grandparents
3:04told you. You cannot know God only by
3:08the messenger.
3:10You have to know God for yourself.
3:13You got to get into the word, man. You
3:16got to have that intimacy, that personal
3:18relationship with God.
3:21And when you know God for yourself,
3:24you'll understand that obedience is the
3:26key. So, here is the word of God. It
3:28says, "Now it shall be, if you
3:31diligently obey the Lord your God, it
3:35says being careful to do all his
3:37commandments which I have commanded you
3:40today, that the Lord your God will, the
3:44Bible says, put you high, next level,
3:49high above the nations of the earth."
3:53So, it is God's intention according to
3:55Deuteronomy 28:1
3:58and 2, God says and all these blessings,
4:00once you obey me, once you obey me,
4:03don't trust your feelings,
4:06once you obey me because if the word is
4:09true, it cannot lie.
4:12If you believe the word of God, then it
4:14will come to pass. The Bible says heaven
4:16and earth will pass away, but not one
4:18drop of his word.
4:21So, if you believe the word, then you
4:23know that blessings will follow you.
4:25According to verse 2 of Deuteronomy 28,
4:27it says, "And all these blessings will
4:30come upon you and reach you if if you
4:37obey the Lord
4:39your God."
4:41Where did we get this idea from
4:44that we can just do whatever we want to
4:45do, think whatever we want to think,
4:49and we going to be blessed?
4:52And then the enemy trick us to say,
4:54"Well, you know, you don't have to do
4:56stuff for the Lord to bless you." Yes.
5:00Yes, you have to.
5:02You have to obey.
5:04You Well, I can just I I can just do
5:07whatever I want to do. That's your own
5:09theory. That's your own doctrine.
5:12When you obey,
5:14when you seek first the kingdom of God
5:17and his righteousness, the Bible says
5:20things will be added onto you. And many
5:23of you, maybe one of the reasons why
5:26you're not seeing the blessing and the
5:28increase that you so desire in your life
5:30is that maybe when God is speaking,
5:32you're struggling to obey.
5:35Maybe fear has taken over your life.
5:38So, you know, I was preparing this week,
5:41you know, the service and so forth and I
5:42was saying, "Lord, okay, um what
5:46scripture would you give me?"
5:48Instantly, he gave me Deuteronomy 28:1
5:52to two, verse two and I'm I was, you
5:54know, meditating on it and I lie not to
5:57you. I got this text. I mean, it blew my
6:00mind. She had no idea it's a
6:02confirmation
6:03that that God used her to confirm this
6:07whole thing about obedience. Here's what
6:10it says. It says here, um I was looking
6:13for a new job,
6:15but got a call to apply.
6:19Prayed about it and decided to take a
6:21leap of faith. Had two quick interviews
6:23this week and got an offer last night
6:27with a 5% pay increase with other perks.
6:32The crazy God is amazing part of the
6:35story is that when you held the offering
6:40last Sunday to the end of the sermon, if
6:43you were here, remember I kept saying
6:44the Lord just says just hold the
6:46offering at the end of the service. Um
6:48and the message was about leveling up
6:51was so applicable.
6:53God told me, watch this, God told me,
6:56she said,
6:57to increase my offering to what it would
7:01be if I had gotten a promotion or a
7:04raise.
7:09Did you understand that?
7:11She was sitting in the service
7:13and God told her, all right, at the end
7:16the pastor held the offering.
7:18So, what I want you to do is to give me
7:20an offering that doesn't match what
7:22you're currently earning.
7:25But level up on your giving.
7:28Give to the dimension that you believe
7:31in me for.
7:33And she continues to write, "I was
7:35obedient."
7:37Again, I read Deuteronomy 28:1 to verse
7:40two. She said, "I I didn't have a
7:42conversation with her. She just texted
7:44me and said, 'I was obedient. I promise
7:47you, Bishop, if God never bless me
7:50again,
7:52I would never stop singing his
7:54praises.'"
7:57She had no idea. I had no idea that the
8:00worship team had one of the songs, He's
8:04Done Enough.
8:06You have no idea how God is working
8:08things out.
8:10And she said, "He's just been so good to
8:14me." And then she says, "Please lift me
8:17up in prayer." Because she's about to
8:19make a decision and so forth. And then I
8:22came backstage and I was meeting to a
8:24couple of people this morning and a now
8:26the young lady came up excited and she
8:28said to me, she said, "Bishop, I got to
8:30share this testimony with you.
8:32The Lord told me recently to give a
8:35specific seed." She said it was a big
8:37seed. I was scared about about it, but
8:40she said she knew the Lord told her to
8:42give the seed.
8:45The issue is
8:47not whether or not is the issue, I
8:48should say, is not about is God really
8:51speaking to us.
8:54I think the question should be,
8:56are we willing to obey what we're
8:58hearing?
9:00So many of you have heard God already
9:02spoken to you about so many things. Give
9:05your life over to him. Stop Stop
9:08handling the affairs of your life
9:10without him. How many times have you
9:12told you the reason why you're not
9:15making progress and not going to the
9:16next level is because you failed to obey
9:19me. You believe in everybody else. You
9:20believe in your own feelings.
9:23And you don't You don't believe in me.
9:25The reason why your finances are not
9:27going to another level. You need to
9:28listen to me, those of you are
9:29streaming. Reason why your finances is
9:31not going to another level. He has
9:33prompted you over and over to do
9:35specific things and quickly the devil
9:39shift your attention to Well, I don't
9:41have it and that and then and why should
9:43I give it and maybe it's a gimmick,
9:45maybe it's a game, maybe this is not
9:46really of God.
9:47You have no idea how you're holding back
9:50your blessing.
9:52This young lady lady said when she
9:54released the seed, true story, this
9:57morning she's in here
9:59and she knows who I'm not going to call
10:01her name. I've never called people's
10:03names out unless they give me the
10:04permission.
10:06And she said, "Bishop, I gave it when I
10:08gave it for a whole couple of days I was
10:11nervous."
10:13Have you ever given a seed?
10:16See, only about five people. See, I know
10:19only five people. When you give the
10:21seed, you're worried, you're nervous. Oh
10:23God, what am I going to do? How am I
10:25going to survive after this? She was so
10:29worried about it.
10:31Completely worried about it.
10:34Cuz she said she didn't have it. Why
10:35would God ask you for a seed that you
10:37think you don't have?
10:39Yet she gave it.
10:41And she said she gave the seed and she
10:44got a letter this week.
10:47Her complete This is huge debt. She
10:49didn't tell me the amount. It must be
10:51big.
10:53I don't probe in people's business. So,
10:55how much it is?
10:57She said, "It's huge." She got a letter
11:02this week saying her debts are
11:04completely paid in full.
11:14Okay, and I see the rest of you looking
11:17at me like
11:18you don't take all of that. Don't take
11:19all of that. I don't believe that. Well,
11:23why do you go to the store and buy a
11:25lottery ticket?
11:29You have enough faith
11:33to believe if you pay a dollar for the
11:35ticket. Is it a dollar?
11:37Or two you oh
11:39minute
11:40man
11:43Minister Burton just said two.
11:46HE'S A MINISTER. HE JUST CORRECTED THE
11:49BISHOP. TWO. AH.
11:52Praise Jesus.
11:54Just tithe.
12:00But if you have enough faith to go to
12:01the store, watch this. I'm making a
12:03point.
12:05To buy a lottery ticket
12:08hoping
12:10that you will win because the chances
12:12are one in a million
12:15or 10 million.
12:19Because you may never win ever.
12:22Why?
12:24The lottery is limited to how much it
12:27can pay out.
12:31Everybody can't win at the same time.
12:35But because the earth is the Lord's
12:38and the fullness thereof
12:42when you trust in the Lord with all of
12:44your heart and lean not to your own
12:46understanding
12:47everybody will win. Every How do I know
12:51that? He said, "He shall supply
12:56all." SOMEBODY SHOUT ALL.
12:59God's got enough to take care of
13:02everybody. So, if you're going to take a
13:04chance, who should you take a chance
13:06with?
13:09Tell your neighbor, "Guaranteed."
13:12God through his word guarantees to bless
13:16you.

31:23there's nothing for you to be sorry
31:27about.
31:31Just listen to me.
31:33I I I want you to listen to me cuz you
31:36see what the enemy would want you to do
31:37right now? Listen to me.
31:40He would want you to get so wrapped up
31:42in your emotions
31:45that you miss God.
31:48Your cry
31:51was necessary.
31:54Listen to me.
31:56Okay.
31:57You're hurting.
31:59Well, listen to me.
32:00All I'm going to ask you to do,
32:03I'm going to give you some specific
32:05instructions.
32:07And I just want you as to the best of
32:10your ability,
32:12hear me today.
32:16You crying out and you being here this
32:19morning is not an accident.
32:22I want you to know that.
32:24So,
32:26I know Listen to me.
32:30I know God is speaking.
32:33So, I'm going to give you some
32:33instructions.
32:35When it's all said and done, it's going
32:39to make sense.
32:41Listen to me.
32:43Are you willing to follow pastor's
32:44instruction?
32:47I IF THERE'S NOBODY IN THE world
32:51God sent me to preach to this morning,
32:55it's you.
32:58It's all going to make sense
33:02in a few minutes.
33:04So, do me a favor.
33:06Just follow my instructions.
33:09I'm going to ask them to vacate a seat
33:12in the front for you.
33:14And I'm going to ask two ladies to sit
33:16between you.
33:18Young lady, I promise you
33:21by the time I get through with this
33:23message,
33:25the freedom that you've been screaming
33:27for,
33:30you going to get it, baby.
33:32You going to get it.
33:36All of this, it may sound confusing to
33:38people,
33:39but God just confirmed with me that the
33:42reason he gave me the message
33:44was because you were going to show up
33:47and you needed to hear this message. So,
33:49do me a favor. I want
33:51you and you sit between her. Just find
33:53your receipt in the front.
33:55If she got a pocketbook, bring
33:57everything down here and I want her to
34:00stay there.
34:02When I tell you God is real,
34:06I need a friend church this morning.
34:09When I tell you God is real,
34:19watch this.
34:22Just sit between her. Sit between her.
34:25Everybody be seated. Those of you are
34:27streaming, God, I wish you were in the
34:29building.
34:32I know that God is up to something this
34:34morning. It's going to make sense
34:38in a few minutes.
34:40And I have to do this if there's nobody
34:43this message is for, it is for this
34:46young lady.
34:49I want to talk to everybody
34:51and this young lady What's your first
34:53name?
34:54What's your
34:55Christina.
34:57Christina,
34:59God sent me here to tell you
35:03to step up.
35:07In the series
35:09going to the next level
35:12in Christ,
35:15we're admonished today
35:18to step up.
35:22To step up.
35:24To find a way
35:26to elevate ourselves
35:29to the next
35:31level.
35:33This message is to encourage you
35:36to step up your game when it comes to
35:39your journey as a believer
35:43in Jesus Christ.
35:45To step it up.
35:47You can no longer live
35:51on the platform of average.
35:55God wants to take your life to a whole
35:59'nother level of grace.
36:03To a whole 'nother level where he has
36:05elevated you so you are no longer
36:09familiar
36:11with the ordinary things in life.
36:15That's why there's been a hunger and a
36:16thirst in you.
36:19That's why, like Christina, THERE IS
36:22THIS PULLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
36:26TO BE FREE.
36:28FREE FROM THE THINGS THAT HAVE held you
36:30bound.
36:32Free from the things
36:35that ARE PREVENTING YOU from being
36:37successful in life.
36:40It is safe to say that if you are
36:43committed to the success of your faith,
36:47then you should not remain in at the
36:49same level you were
36:52a year ago
36:55and even
36:56a month ago.
36:58If you're SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR FAITH
37:00JOURNEY,
37:01YOU SHOULDN'T BE AT THE SAME LEVEL YOU
37:04were last year,
37:06a month ago,
37:08a week ago.
37:10And let's not forget that God's will for
37:13us
37:14is to constantly work our way upward
37:20to everything we do.
37:23Why are you still down there?
37:27Why are you still down in Lodebar?
37:35Hanging out with things that no longer
37:38serves
37:40your purpose.
37:41Why?
37:43And by the way,
37:45you must choose the path that leads
37:48upward. If not, you will remain stagnant
37:52perpetuating
37:53the cycle of your ancestors, friends,
37:57and associates.
38:00MANY OF YOU ARE PERPETUATING
38:02THE UNPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF your
38:06ancestors.
38:08Look in your family.
38:10The same things keep repeating itself.
38:14And you're held bound
38:17to average. YOU'RE HELD BOUND TO THINGS
38:21THAT DOESN'T SERVE
38:24A PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE.
38:27And so, God sent me here today this
38:29morning
38:30to encourage you to step up.
38:35And stepping up takes effort.
38:38It's about elevating.
38:42It's about evolving.
38:44IT'S ABOUT CUTTING OFF. It's about
38:47changing from the old into the new. It's
38:51about making progress. It's about
38:55stepping up to a higher ground. It's
38:57about getting to a place
39:00WHERE YOU ARE DIFFERENT. LISTEN, HOW
39:03LONG will you remain at the bottom
39:06looking up? It's time you get to the top
39:10looking down. God wants to change your
39:12position.
39:15He wants to change your position from
39:18you begging for help to you helping
39:22people up.
39:24Can somebody give God a praise right
39:26there?
39:29So, Proverbs 15:24,
39:32it says, and I love this.
39:34It says,
39:36uh the chosen path of life leads
39:41upward for the wise.
39:44Love it.
39:46The chosen
39:47part or path
39:50of life leads upward for the wise.
39:55That he may keep away from Sheol
40:00and the nether world, the place of the
40:04dead.
40:06Sheol,
40:08Sheol. Somebody say Sheol.
40:12The Bible says that he may keep away
40:16from Sheol,
40:18the place
40:20of the dead.
40:25Why do you always find pleasure
40:29living with dead things?
40:36WHY?
40:37WHY DO YOU GET UP EVERY DAY, function 24
40:42hours a day, go through the cycle per
40:45month, every year living among the dead?
40:49BECAUSE IT'S A CHOICE. THE BIBLE SAYS,
40:51"THE CHOSEN PATH OF LIFE LEADS UPWARD
40:54FOR THE WISE." SO, IF YOU'RE A WISE
40:57PERSON, YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO go up. YOU
41:00CHOOSE TO STEP IT UP.
41:03But then he says
41:05that he may keep away from Sheol,
41:10the place of the dead. The reason why
41:12God wants you to step up is that you no
41:15longer live among
41:17the dead.
41:19As long as you stay down here, you're
41:20chained to dead things.
41:24Now you see why your life needs to be
41:26elevated?
41:28Now you see that God
41:30sent me here today because he's calling
41:32you to arise from the dead places that
41:35no longer serve your purpose. Isaiah
41:3960:1 says, "Arise from spiritual
41:43depression to a new life."
41:47Arise from spiritual
41:50depression. SPIRITUAL DEPRESSION. YOU
41:53MAY NOT BE, ACCORDING to you, physically
41:56depressed, but spiritually you ARE
41:59DEPRESSED TO A NEW LIFE. SHINE. BE
42:02RADIANT WITH THE GLORY AND THE
42:04BRILLIANCE OF THE LORD, FOR YOUR LIGHT
42:07HAS COME. YOUR LIGHT HAS COME. IT'S NOT
42:11GOING TO COME. IT'S ALREADY HERE. YOU
42:14JUST DON'T RECOGNIZE IT. YOUR LIGHT HAS
42:17COME. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE'S A
42:19BREAKTHROUGH FOR YOU. THERE'S A
42:21BREAKTHROUGH. YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW.
42:24YOU CAN SEE THE THINGS OF GOD. YOU CAN
42:27SEE THAT GOD WANTS TO ELEVATE YOU. HE
42:29WANTS TO TAKE YOU TO A HIGHER PLACE. THE
42:31LIGHT HAS COME. YOU ARE NO LONGER
42:34IGNORANT TO THE TRUTH. YOU DO NOT HAVE
42:36TO REMAIN AT THE BOTTOM ANYMORE. YOU'VE
42:39GOT ENOUGH INFORMATION FROM GOD TO RISE
42:43TO THE TOP.
42:48He said, "Arise,
42:50for your light has come
42:52and the glory
42:53and brilliance of the Lord has risen
42:58upon you."
43:00There's a glow upon you.
43:02Christina, THERE'S A GLOW UPON YOU.
43:05THERE'S A GLOW UPON YOU, AND IT'S TIME
43:09THAT YOU STEP UP TO A NEW WAY OF LIVING.
43:13Move from the dead PLACES TO A GREATER
43:16LEVEL of faith and productivity.
43:22Do you not know that your future
43:25your future self
43:27is eagerly awaiting for you to step up
43:32to a higher level
43:34so that you can experience the God of
43:38the Bible and not the redefined
43:43God of society?
43:46Society has redefined God.
43:50I'll tell you who God is and who God is
43:52not.
43:53But if you really want the Bible to come
43:55alive,
43:58then you got to go to the next level.
44:01But pastor,
44:03how
44:05do I get there?
44:07How How do I make that jump?
44:11How do I get to the next level? If If I
44:16could just just make one effort to get
44:20to a higher ground. I may not be there
44:22yet, BUT HOW DO I make the first step
44:24step? How do I cut off those things? How
44:27do I break away from the things that are
44:31holding me back?
44:34But let me ask you a question though.
44:36Why have you allowed yourself to be tied
44:39to the dead things of life?
44:44You want to know how you're going to
44:45reach the top?
44:47You cannot reach the top
44:50until you cut ties
44:52with certain things.
44:58I'm sorry.
45:00I'm sorry.
45:02I'm sorry if you're here this morning
45:03and you're streaming and you think that
45:06you can go to the next level just on
45:08your own.
45:11Because the dead things are the
45:13graveyard,
45:15the pit.
45:18Why do you love
45:21living
45:22beneath your privileges?
45:27What is exciting about living in the
45:29pit?
45:31What do you like
45:33hanging out
45:35beneath?
45:37I've never seen a grave above ground.
45:43To dig a grave or to get to a grave, you
45:46have to dig into the ground. Why have
45:49you allowed the enemy to even pull you
45:52from average
45:54and dug a
45:55hole
45:57and put you in a pit
46:00to bury you?
46:02Why?
46:05It is the resting place.
46:09It is the resting place
46:11of the body from which the spirit has
46:14departed. So, yes, that's what he's
46:16after.
46:18If he can capture your spirit
46:21and keep you in the grave,
46:23you will never
46:25achieve the things that God has in
46:28stored for you.
46:31Shiloh, or Sheol, I should say,
46:35is the place of the dead,
46:38the place of unproductivity,
46:41place where it produces no life, no
46:44revelation, no progress, no fruit.
46:49It is my prayer today
46:53that you are not living in or have
46:56accepted
46:57Sheol as your comfort zone, the dead
47:01places.
47:03THAT YOU HAVE NOT SETTLED FOR THAT.
47:07That you HAVE NOT
47:09PUT DEAD THINGS
47:13around yourself and have attached
47:16yourself
47:17to things, watch this, that attracts
47:21dead things.
47:25God is saying to most of you this
47:27morning,
47:28you need to
47:30step it up.
47:32But instead of you stepping it up,
47:36because you are still hanging around
47:39Sheol,
47:41dead places.
47:44And when you start living with dead
47:45people,
47:48though you might have life, they take
47:50the spirit
47:51from you
47:53and you now become a part of the dead.
47:59The crazy thing about some of you
48:02is what you have done.
48:04Instead of putting on a garment of
48:06praise, garment of thanksgiving,
48:10you have attached yourself to the yoke
48:13of bondage.
48:16This is how you're living your life.
48:18And watch this. If you keep acting like
48:22dead people, you will attract dead
48:25things.
48:32The spirit of dead will follow the dead.
48:38So, this is how you're living your life.
48:40That's how you've been living it for
48:41years. You've been walking around
48:44and instead of clothing yourself with
48:47righteousness and the will of God,
48:51you are dragging
48:53something that is attracted to the
48:56devil.
48:59You
49:00Every now and then you cry out, "God, I
49:03want to step up. I want to step up. I
49:05want to go to the next level. I know
49:06there's more to my life than what it is,
49:09God. I want to make progress. I want to
49:11make progress in my relationship. I want
49:12to make progress in certain things. I
49:14want to make" And And every time you try
49:16to step up, that the problem is
49:19there's something attached to you
49:23that is not healthy.
49:26Many of you ARE ATTACHED TO INSECURITY.
49:31INSECURITY.
49:33AND INSECURITY WILL FIND YOU.
49:36IT WILL FIND
49:38WHY? BECAUSE YOU GOT A CONNECTION THAT
49:41fits into its narrative.
49:48IT WILL FOLLOW YOU.
49:51BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A CONNECTION. YOU
49:53SEE, NOTICE INSECURITY HANDED ME THE
49:56CONNECTION. NOBODY FORCED YOU TO DO
49:58ANYTHING.
50:01THE DEVIL CANNOT ATTACH HIMSELF TO YOU
50:04UNLESS YOU GIVE HIM THE PERMISSION TO DO
50:06SO. DON'T YOU EVER LET THE DEVIL PUT A
50:09SPIRIT UPON YOU THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO
50:12YOU.
50:19AS LONG AS YOU STAY at the bottom,
50:24you'll attract bad things.
50:27And so many of you streaming in the
50:28house insecurity, you don't know who you
50:32are.
50:34You don't know that you're the apple of
50:36God's eye. You don't know that you're
50:38fearfully and you're wonderfully made.
50:40You have no idea you're blessed in the
50:43city, YOU'RE BLESSED in the field. You
50:45have no idea that YOU SHALL BE ABOVE AND
50:49NOT BENEATH. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THAT YOU
50:51ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR. YOU HAVE NO
50:54IDEA THAT GOD'S ANOINTING IS UPON YOUR
50:57LIFE.
51:00GET RID of insecurity.
51:04You see,
51:05Shiloh or Shilo keeps saying Shiloh but
51:08Shilo
51:09is a place
51:11where the dead will hang out not only
51:14insecure people and that spirit will be
51:17attached to you, but some of you are
51:20tied, watch this, to strongholds
51:25and witchcraft.
51:30And let me tell you something.
51:32I don't know who God sent me here to
51:34talk to.
51:36But anytime you start living
51:39outside of the word of God
51:41and you start acting and start doing
51:45witchcraft
51:48because your grandy's doing it, your
51:50mama doing it, your uncle doing it,
51:52everybody doing it, so you going to do
51:54it to protect yourself. You don't need
51:56no witchcraft to Listen, YOU DON'T NEED
51:59NO WITCHCRAFT TO PROTECT YOU. YOU'VE GOT
52:01GOD ALMIGHTY TO PROTECT YOU AND NO
52:04WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER.
52:08BREAK IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
52:15SO, GOD SENT ME HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU
52:18BREAK THE CHAIN OF WITCHCRAFT AND
52:22STRONGHOLDS
52:23ON YOUR LIFE.
52:26YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT.
52:30YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DABBLING IN IT.
52:34YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN RUBBING STUFF ON
52:36YOUR BODY YOU AIN'T GOT NO BUSINESS
52:39RUBBING ON YOUR BODY. IF YOU WANT
52:41SOMETHING TO RUB ON YOUR BODY, YOU COME
52:44TO THE HOUSE OF GOD AND YOU GET A BOTTLE
52:46OF OIL THAT HAS BEEN PRAYED OVER AND LET
52:49US ANOINT YOU FROM THE CROWN OF YOUR
52:51HEAD TO THE SOLE OF YOUR FEET AND BREAK
52:54THAT CURSE OFF YOU.
52:58SOMEBODY SHOUT BREAK IT.
53:02WHENEVER YOU allow
53:04witchcraft and strongholds to attach
53:07itself from you,
53:09then the weight and the responsibility
53:12gets heavier.
53:14And it holds you bound because you
53:17cannot you cannot step up.
53:21God wants you to step up but every time
53:23you try to step up and go and go up,
53:25there's forces still trying to
53:30Don't you see? Don't you SEE THE REASON
53:33WHY YOU CAN'T ELEVATE YOUR LIFE IS
53:36BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING THE WRONG STUFF.
53:38YOU'RE TRYING THE WRONG STUFF. Throw
53:41away THAT JEWELRIES. THROW AWAY THAT
53:43STUFF THAT THEY GAVE YOU TO PROTECT YOU.
53:45YOU DON'T NEED THAT. YOU NEED A HOLY
53:47SPIRIT.
53:49THROW IT AWAY.
53:57YOU'RE TIED TO strongholds
54:00and witchcraft. Some of you
54:02are tied
54:04to relationships that God never
54:06ordained.
54:10He never ordained it.
54:14Man look good, the woman look good,
54:18but he never ordained it.
54:20So, you've tied yourself to
54:22relationships
54:25that God never ordained.
54:28So, here it is, you're walking around
54:31and you
54:32you're barely making it
54:34and you're struggling
54:38cuz you're with a man
54:40you have no business being with.
54:47You're with a woman
54:49you ain't got no business
54:51being with
54:53cuz God never sanctioned it.
54:56God never sanctioned it, so you wonder
54:58why you're not making it. You're moving,
55:00and you're like a clown. Why? Because
55:03you're attached to stuff that makes you
55:05look like a fool.
55:08But God sent me here today to tell you
55:10it's time to cut it off.
55:13Would you tap three people and tell them
55:16it's time to cut it off. It's time to
55:19turn yourself loose. God wants to free
55:22you this morning so that you can step up
55:25to A HIGHER GROUND. IS ANYBODY hearing
55:27me this morning?
55:29It's only up from here, baby. It's only
55:33up from here. THE WAY GOD WILL FREE YOU
55:35THIS MORNING, YOU NOT GOING TO GO BACK
55:38TO THE GRAVEYARD ANYMORE. IT'S UP FROM
55:41HERE. WATCH WHAT THE LORD IS GOING TO DO
55:43TO YOUR LIFE IN JUST A FEW WEEKS. GOD'S
55:46GOING TO ELEVATE YOU. SOMEBODY GIVE HIM
55:50PRAISE IN THE HOUSE.
56:01HERE'S THE BIG ONE
56:03that has held a lot of you bound.
56:06Here's what God told me to tell a lot of
56:09you.
56:10The big one that has held a lot of you
56:12bound
56:13is you are tied
56:16to people
56:18who constantly use you for their
56:20benefit.
56:30A whole lot of people
56:33who don't need to be in your life.
56:37Why do you constantly let them use you?
56:42Why do you constantly open up yourself
56:45to them? You know they're no good for
56:48you. You know that they're assigned by
56:50the devil to prevent you from stepping
56:53it up to go to the next level, but what
56:57you have done, you have allowed people
57:00who God never placed in your life
57:03because they have wrong intentions.
57:06You've allowed them to be attached to
57:07you.
57:10You wonder why
57:11you can't make progress.
57:14And then finally,
57:16there's so many of you, the reason why
57:18you can't step up. You can't step up.
57:21You can't step up. Go on the other side.
57:23You can't step up.
57:25You can't You can't get up there.
57:29It's not only
57:30cuz of these issues,
57:33but the big issue
57:35is reason why you're struggling the way
57:37you're struggling
57:39is because
57:40you are horrible
57:43at managing your money.
57:50See, Lord, I told you only about a 50
57:52people was going to respond to this part
57:55of the message.
58:00You're tied
58:02to horrible
58:04money management.
58:07And here's the struggle for most of you.
58:12You're tied.
58:14You're tied to these things.
58:17And every New Year's,
58:20I've got my resolution.
58:23Every New Year, this is the year of
58:25victory. This is the year of
58:26breakthrough. This is the year of
58:27marriage. This is the year of financial
58:30independence. This is the year and and
58:32you say all those things and you wonder
58:34why it's now September.
58:38You haven't even made one
58:41progress.
58:44Want to know why?
58:46The stuff you're attached to.
58:49Because at some POINT IN TIME IN YOUR
58:51LIFE,
58:52YOU HAVE TO SAY TO YOURSELF,
58:55AM I TIRED OF BEING IN A STAGNATED
59:01POSITION?
59:03AM I tired of this?
59:06THAT I NEED A TRANSFORMATION IN ALL
59:09areas of my life.
59:11I need to get rid of all of these things
59:13that are attached to me.
59:15I need to be elevated to another level
59:18in the kingdom of God, in kingdom
59:21living.
59:23Where God is taking you, CHRISTINA, HE'S
59:25SIMPLY SAYING TO YOU, HE WANT TO CUT OFF
59:29EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT ORDAINED OF HIM
59:32IN YOUR LIFE.
59:35AND THAT'S HARD FOR US TO DO.
59:39AND IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING,
59:41you're going to constantly struggle.
59:44Cuz in this season of your life,
59:47you have to make God your number one
59:52priority.
59:55You have to.
59:57Now is the time for you to maximize your
60:00potential and be what God has called you
60:02to be. Now, somebody shout now.
60:06But you cannot do these things
60:09when you're tied
60:11to so many strongholds.
60:15You can't
60:16You can't do it. You can't I I
60:18understand. You're You're trying to get
60:20up there.
60:21You
60:22Do you not know it's 2023?
60:27And you still haven't even got on the
60:29first step of success.
60:33You're supposed to be in high places and
60:36you're still down in the dead places.
60:41Still struggling with ignoring the fact
60:43that you are tied to things that are
60:45trying to hold you back.
60:49But I know what you're saying.
60:51You're saying, "Pastor,
60:53okay.
60:55I hear what you're saying.
60:56All right.
60:58I'm
60:59I'm going to go up there now.
61:01I'm going to cut it off. I'm going to
61:02cut it off."
61:03So, here's what a lot of you are doing.
61:07Okay, I'm going to cut it off, pastor.
61:10I'm going to cut it off.
61:13I'm going to cut it
61:14I'm going to cut it off.
61:15Oh, Jesus, I'm going to cut it off.
61:18I I'm going to cut it off.
61:19I'm going to cut it off. Oh, but this
61:22this ain't working. Oh, Jesus, why is
61:24this not working? Oh, I When it won't
61:27work cuz
61:28every tool you use,
61:32if it's not spirit-led,
61:41you really want to break it,
61:43look at what you're using.
61:47Because you may be using the wrong tool.
61:51This is not going to cut it.
61:55What God sent me here to tell some of
61:58you is to put aside,
62:02lay aside. Let me go to Hebrews 12:1.
62:05Therefore, since we are surrounded WITH
62:08SUCH GREAT A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, who by
62:11faith have testified to the truth of
62:13God's obedience
62:15absolute faithfulness, I should say,
62:17strip off every unnecessary weight and
62:20sin that so easily and cleverly
62:23entangles US. LET US RUN WITH endurance
62:28and active persistence THE RACE THAT IS
62:31SET BEFORE
62:34US. And then Romans 16:17 says, "I
62:37appeal to you, MY BROTHERS, TO WATCH OUT
62:40FOR THOSE WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS AND CREATE
62:44OBSTACLES CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE
62:49THAT YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT. AVOID THEM.
62:54AVOID THEM. AND YOU CAN'T DO IT YOUR
62:57WAY.
62:59I'M GOING TO TELL SOME OF YOU how to do
63:00it this morning. I'm going to tell you
63:02really You want Christine, you want to
63:05break whatever it is. You want to see
63:07freedom AND LIBERTY IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
63:10GOT TO CALL FOR THE BIG ONE. And the big
63:12ONE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. LET HIM COME. HE

64:27PRAISE IN THE HOUSE.
64:31I WANT YOU TO STAND ON YOUR FEET,
64:32EVERYBODY.
64:35I wonder who this morning
64:38can say, "Pastor, I want to break every
64:40chain
64:42that is attached to me." Anybody
64:44watching by streaming this morning, you
64:47want God to break every chain that's
64:49attached to you that he never ordained
64:52this morning, I want to pray for you. IF
64:55YOU FELT THAT GOD SPOKE TO YOU TODAY, I
64:57want you to quickly run down this aisle,
65:00get down to the front. I want to pray
65:03for you today. God's going to break

74:51For those of you are screaming,
74:55I want you to know
74:57that it's up to you
74:59to believe that every chain,
75:02everything that's attached to you that's
75:04not ordained,
75:07that the Holy Spirit through this sermon
75:09today
75:10has cut every cord, every connection,
75:15man.
75:18You're free
75:20to live in his perfect will. Pastor
75:23Brian, would you come? I'm going to have
75:24you to close out the service.
75:27But Christina,
75:28I want to say this before I leave.
75:32Now you see why
75:34I had to preach the message.
75:37Now you see why.
75:40It's all making sense now.
75:44And I'm going to tell you something.
75:47When you cried out in your seat and
75:51and you were very apologetic and so
75:53forth, it kind of reminded me of the
75:54scripture when the woman with the issue
75:56of blood.
75:58You know,
76:00the crowd didn't understand why this
76:03woman was pushing and pushing and
76:05pushing.
76:07In fact, some of them said, "Where you
76:08going?"
76:09You know, some people would think
76:11they're annoyed
76:12at your cry.
76:14But I know what I heard God cuz I You
76:16know, I was standing there, well, maybe
76:18God, is this a moment for me not to
76:20preach
76:22and just minister?
76:24And I heard the Lord said,
76:27"Your cry
76:30was an indication to me I'm preaching
76:33the right sermon."
76:34That's number one.
76:38But it was also going to be confirmation
76:40for you.
76:43Because it was your day of deliverance.
76:52All I'm asking you to do from this day
76:54forward,
76:56please Christina
76:58come here. Do me a favor. Come here. I
76:59Just follow me. Come. Come. Step up.
77:02Step up.
77:19Somebody shout to Christina, "Step up!"
77:30That's where you belong.
77:34THAT'S WHERE
77:36YOU BELONG!
77:40YES!
77:43THAT'S WHERE YOU BELONG!
77:45Somebody give him praise in the house!
77:49HEY! GLORY TO GOD!
77:52HALLELUJAH!
77:55YES!
77:57YES!
78:00YES!
78:01YES!
78:03GLORY TO GOD!
78:11Christina will never, ever
78:14live beneath her privilege ever again.
78:19BECAUSE WHEN GOD PROMOTES YOU, nobody
78:23can demote you!
78:30So, CHRISTINA, YOU STAY RIGHT THERE.
78:33YOU STAY WHERE GOD HAS PLANTED YOU.
78:36Don't you ever come down to the critics.
78:39Don't you ever come down to the
78:41naysayers. Don't you ever GO BACK TO THE
78:45DEAD PLACES. Come alive and let the
78:48light of Jesus Christ shine in your
78:52life. Somebody give God another praise.
78:58Woo!
