Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez encourages believers to reclaim their 'unshakable confidence' in God, teaching that this divine assurance is the necessary bridge between faith and the fulfillment of God's promises.
Key points
- •Confidence is not arrogance; it is divine assurance and an unshakable trust that God is in control of every step of your life.
- •Confidence acts as the bridge between spiritual faith (the invisible) and physical fulfillment (the manifestation of God's promises).
- •You must discover and pursue the real God rather than modern 'concepts' or trends that have stripped the church of its effectiveness.
- •It is vital to protect your purpose by discerning who is truly assigned to your destiny versus those assigned by the enemy to distract or sabotage you.
- •Confidence is based on God's covenant, not your current comfort; temporary pain should never rob you of permanent promises.

Life application
This week, identify one area where fear has caused you to 'throw away' your confidence. Consciously shift your focus from the loud 'noise' of doubt to the promises of God's covenant, and act as if fulfillment is already on its way.
Reflection questions
- In what areas of my life have I allowed the opinions of others or social media to shake my divine assurance?
- Am I worshiping the true Creator, or have I become distracted by the 'concepts' and trends of modern religion?
- Who in my life is truly aligned with my destiny, and who might be a distraction or a 'trap' for my progress?
- How can I distinguish between temporary discomfort and the permanent promises God has made to me?

0:00There are two scriptures
0:03I'm going to ask you to read this
0:07morning. They'll put the first one on
0:09the screen. [music] Psalm 27 verse3
0:15>> and I want us to read it. I want us to
0:18read it.
0:20>> Um
0:24Lord
0:24>> that word confident.
0:27Confident.
0:29I I wanted them to circle that.
0:33I want us to read it, but I want us to
0:36place emphasis on confident.
0:41>> Confident.
0:44>> Are you confident that God's going to
0:46work it out for you?
0:50>> It's important.
0:53And then show us the second verse or
0:57second scripture and
1:01uh it says uh again confidence.
1:07One scripture said confident
1:10and one says confidence.
1:13Again I wanted them to circle that. So
1:16let's go to the first scripture and
1:18together you're going to read it out
1:21loud.
1:22and uh place emphasis on that last word
1:26confident. Are you ready?
1:29>> Read.
1:39>> Okay, y'all didn't say that word
1:41confident the way I wanted you to say
1:43it. So, that was just a rehearsal.
1:45Remember, you got to shout out that word
1:48confident. All right, go. Let's read
1:50again. No,
1:54my heart shall not fear.
2:01>> There you go. Let's go to Proverbs 3:26.
2:05The same thing when you get to that word
2:08confidence.
2:10Put more emphasis on it. Please read.
2:13for the Lord will be your
2:17foot from being lost.
2:20>> Father, we thank you
2:22that your presence is here this morning.
2:26Thank you that your word is rich. It is
2:29powerful
2:31and it will transform lives today.
2:35We give you praise for it now in Jesus
2:38name. [music] Amen. Come on, let's give
2:40him a praise in the house.
2:43and you may be seated in the presence
2:46[music] of the Lord.
2:48We've been
2:50focusing on the theme unshakable.
2:55Unshakable.
2:57And this morning you have placed great
3:01emphasis on two words, one confident and
3:04confidence.
3:06And so I'd like to focus on the theme
3:09this morning, unshakable
3:11confidence.
3:14Unshakable
3:16confidence.
3:17Make no mistake about it, your
3:20confidence can be shaken. Amen.
3:23>> Perhaps some of you are here today and
3:26those of you are streaming, maybe you're
3:28struggling in that area where you've
3:31allowed the circumstances of life to
3:35shake your confidence.
3:38The Apostle Paul declares in Hebrews
3:4210:35,
3:44"Therefore, do not throw away what? Your
3:49confidence." Don't throw it away.
3:52There's a possibility that you can throw
3:54your confidence away.
3:56>> You can allow you can allow I should say
3:58the words of people, you can allow your
4:01fears, you can allow the circumstances
4:04around you, you can allow the
4:06uncertainty of life to cause you to
4:09throw away your confidence. He says,
4:13"Therefore, do not throw away your
4:17confidence. Don't get rid of it. which
4:19has watch this great reward.
4:24If you could just keep your confidence,
4:27Paul is saying it will reward you when
4:31you don't give up.
4:33When you hang on in there in spite of
4:37how you feel, in spite of your fears,
4:40when you trust God and you believe that
4:43he's well able to do, exceed and
4:45abundantly far above you can ask or
4:48think of him,
4:51it will reward you. So Paul was
4:54reminding us that confidence is not
4:57arrogance. It is divine assurance.
5:02Some people will look at you when you're
5:04confident in whom you believe. When
5:06you're confident that you're going to
5:07make it, when you're confident that you
5:09are great, you're successful, you're
5:11powerful. They may translate that as you
5:15being arrogant.
5:18>> But that's assurance
5:20that you are confident that your God is
5:24going to bless you. You're confident
5:26that you're not a secondass citizen.
5:29You're confident that you are blessed
5:31and God's favor is on your life.
5:36>> You see, it's the unshakable trust that
5:39God is in control of every step of your
5:42life. That's confidence.
5:45Confidence in God is the bridge between
5:49your faith and fulfillment.
5:51>> Amen.
5:52>> Let me say it again. Confidence in God
5:56is the bridge between your faith and
6:01your fulfillment. You see, your faith is
6:03over here saying, "I believe that God's
6:06going to do it. I believe that God's
6:08going to make a way. He's the way maker.
6:10I believe that God is going to somehow
6:12prove himself to me and and make all
6:14things possible." And you believe
6:17because you're in a season of faith.
6:20Well, over here it is the manifestation
6:24of it. It's the fulfillment of it.
6:27Whatever you were believing him for over
6:29there, over here it's going to be in the
6:32physical. You see over there it's the
6:35invisible. You haven't seen it yet.
6:37That's why faith is the substance of
6:40things hoped for, the evidence of things
6:44not seen. So when you're praying for
6:46healing over here, when you're praying
6:47for financial breakthrough, when you're
6:49praying for God to heal your family,
6:51when you're praying for God to heal your
6:53broken heart, it it's not manifested
6:56yet. This is the spiritual realm. You
6:58are just hoping for it. You are
7:01believing. You're declaring it. But over
7:03here is when you actually see it in the
7:06physical. But then the question is, what
7:09gets you from faith to fulfillment? is
7:12confidence that he who has begun a work
7:16in you. The moment you speak it and
7:18declare it, that confidence is going to
7:21help you and cause you to travel over to
7:24fulfillment. That's why when you see
7:27some of us acting out and demonstrating
7:31the stuff that we prayed for, what makes
7:34you think we got to fulfillment? It's
7:36not because we're cute. It's not because
7:38we did anything special. We kept our
7:41confidence in God.
7:44Am I talking to anybody here this
7:46morning? It was our confidence in God
7:50that says we're not going to quit. We're
7:53not going to give up. Even when we don't
7:56know how the story is going to end, we
7:59know our faith in Jesus Christ is well
8:02able to fulfill it. You see, your
8:06confidence in God will help you to
8:09connect to your expectation.
8:13>> And so you can successfully navigate
8:16through life, the complexity of life
8:19only when you totally surrender to God
8:24and do the following three things.
8:28You want to know how you can navigate
8:30through life and and and and literally
8:33get to fulfillment? The first thing you
8:36need to do is to discover who the real
8:41God is.
8:44>> I want to work this a little bit here.
8:46You got to discover who the real God is
8:49because in a world filled with man-made
8:53gods and philosophies and ideologies and
8:57so forth, you must anchor your faith in
9:00the only true and living God. I submit
9:05to you today. I'm telling you, you're
9:08going to need the direction of the Holy
9:11Spirit to to get through all of this
9:14madness that's happened on the earth. It
9:17can I be honest with you? It's really
9:19honestly outside of the Holy Spirit.
9:22It's hard to detect who the real God is
9:29>> because man has now created their own
9:31image and man has created their own
9:34ideas of who God is. And so many people
9:37are now deceived because instead of
9:41going after the true and living God,
9:44they're going after what's trending.
9:47>> And how many of you know that the real
9:50God doesn't flow with trends?
9:54>> Oh my goodness. Psalm 27:3
9:58says, "Though an army encamp against me,
10:02my heart shall not fear. though war
10:07arise against me yet I will be
10:11confident. So no matter the chaos that's
10:14happening around us, we must put our
10:17confidence in God. Because you see, the
10:21confidence, the confidence that I'm
10:23talking about begins with revelation and
10:27knowing that your God is not limited by
10:31circumstances,
10:33culture, or the opinions of people. The
10:36God you serve is not limited by your
10:39circumstances. I get it. I know what
10:41you're going through. You've got some
10:43circumstances you're dealing with right
10:44now. But can I tell you this morning,
10:47that situation is cannot limit what God
10:50can do in your life.
10:52Who am I talking to? Whatever you're
10:55going through, that situation cannot
10:58limit what God can do in your life. The
11:03culture cannot stop God. the opinions of
11:06people. Oh, people in today's society,
11:10they have a way of putting their mouths
11:12on you. They have a way of saying
11:14negative things about you. And even with
11:17social media now, it is the powerful
11:20weapon. It's no longer a loaded gun. All
11:23somebody got to do is post something
11:26about you. They don't know you. They
11:28have never spoken to you, but all of a
11:30sudden they can taint your image just by
11:34posting something. But oh, WHEN YOU
11:37STAND on the promises of God, when you
11:40stand on the word of God and know that
11:42your God has never lost a battle, oh,
11:46who am I preaching to? WHEN YOU PUT YOUR
11:49FAITH IN Jesus Christ, he has a unique
11:52way of bringing you out of that dilemma.
11:55Come, come on, somebody. Can you give
11:57God a praise in the building this
11:59morning?
12:01Because you see, many, many, many, many,
12:03many are deceived
12:06because they worship a concept, not the
12:10creator.
12:13>> Many are worshiping a concept and not
12:17the creator. Don't be tricked. Look at
12:19your neighbor and say, "Don't be
12:20tricked. Don't be tricked. Don't be
12:21tricked." You got to make sure you're
12:23worshiping the true God. Don't get
12:26caught up in worshiping trendy stuff.
12:29Don't get caught up in worshiping a
12:32concept. Oh, a concept. A concept. All
12:36of this is concept. LED screen is
12:39concept. The color coordination with the
12:42worship leader is concept. Oh, all these
12:45speakers and the light and effect that
12:47we put in, it's all concept. But that's
12:50not who I worship.
12:52>> In fact, let me tell you something. I
12:54don't need no lights. I don't need no
12:56LED screen. I don't need no LIGHTING
12:58EFFECTS. I CAN WORSHIP HIM with my
13:01mouth. I can worship him with my hands.
13:03Glory to God. I can worship him with a
13:06praise. Be careful that you are not
13:09worshiping a concept,
13:13>> not the creator. Our churches are losing
13:18>> its effectiveness
13:21>> because our confidence is no longer in
13:25him.
13:27>> It's in a concept. But when you truly
13:29discover who God is, that he is the
13:32alpha and the omega. Nothing gets past
13:35him.
13:36>> I said he's the alpha from the
13:39beginning. Whatever you're believing him
13:41for, he's he's going to start it with
13:43you, baby. and he's going to finish it
13:45with you. He's the author and the
13:48finisher of your faith. I get it. You
13:51may say, "Pastor, I haven't finished
13:53yet." But do you know what the word of
13:54God says? He's the author and the
13:57finisher of your faith. When you
14:00understand that fear will lose its grip
14:04and doubt would lose its voice.
14:09>> Some of you, fear has gotten a hold of
14:13you.
14:15Amen.
14:16>> Got a grip on you.
14:18>> And you've lost your confidence in God.
14:21>> Yes, sir.
14:22>> You don't even believe anymore.
14:24And then the noise,
14:27>> the noise,
14:29you know, you you ain't going to come
14:31out to be nothing good.
14:34>> You You know you come from a broken
14:36family.
14:39>> You know, you tried it last year and it
14:41didn't work.
14:43My
14:44>> you you you know your girlfriend tried
14:45it and it didn't work.
14:47>> The noise the noise. The noise. You know
14:51that thing that you're feeling on your
14:52breast. Ah you know your auntie died of
14:56it.
14:58>> The doubt. You you you know you lost the
15:01house so you will never get another
15:02house.
15:03>> You know you made the mistake and you
15:05know you'll never come out of that
15:07mistake. You see doubt has a loud voice.
15:12Who am I talking to?
15:14>> A loud voice and it's speaking to you
15:16and it's telling you what you cannot do.
15:20>> But this morning, God sent me here today
15:22to tell you, you got to get your
15:25confidence back.
15:28[applause]
15:29>> Who am I talking to? You got to get your
15:33confidence back, my friend. Why? Because
15:36according to 2 Timothy 1:12,
15:41it says, "I know in whom I have
15:44believed."
15:46>> Who do you believe in?
15:49>> Who do you believe in this morning?
15:53>> Are you believing in the system?
15:56>> Are you believing in people?
15:58>> Are you believing in your God?
16:00>> My God.
16:01>> Are you believing in your God? that the
16:04God that you are praying to, THE GOD OF
16:07THE BIBLE, THAT HE'S WELL AABLE, YES,
16:10SIR,
16:10>> TO DO ANYTHING HE PURPOSED IN your life.
16:14>> So don't you sit here ANOTHER MOMENT AND
16:17END 2025
16:19DOUBTING what God can do in your life.
16:23>> I don't care what you've been through. I
16:25DON'T CARE WHAT THIS WORLD OR THIS YEAR
16:28HAS BEEN FOR YOU. DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT
16:31THAT GOD DOESN'T NEED A whole year to
16:33fix your life. He doesn't NEED A WHOLE
16:36WEEK TO FIX YOUR LIFE. ONE MOMENT. Come
16:39on now. One moment
16:42>> can change your life forever. Somebody
16:44give him praise in this house today. One
16:47moment. Look at the neighbor and say,
16:49"One moment." All it takes is one
16:51moment. That's it. One moment to change
16:55your life. Number two, not only do you
16:58need to know the real God, you got to
17:00pursue the real God, but you got to
17:02protect yourself and your purpose.
17:06>> You got to protect yourself and your
17:08purpose. NOT EVERYONE ASSIGNED TO your
17:11life is in alignment with your destiny.
17:22Not everyone
17:24>> ASSIGNED TO YOUR LIFE. THAT'S WHY YOU
17:27GOT TO KNOW God for yourself. And you
17:29GOT TO FIGURE OUT GOD, SHOW ME THE
17:31PEOPLE YOU HAVE ASSIGNED for me AND
17:34EXPOSE THE PEOPLE THAT THE DEVIL HAS
17:37ASSIGNED TO MY LIFE.
17:43Cuz I'm telling you, THERE ARE SOME
17:45PEOPLE WHO ARE ASSIGNED BY THE DEVIL to
17:48your life.
17:50>> Oh, I know you don't want me to preach
17:51it this morning.
17:53>> There are some people are gifted and
17:55anointed. They have opened their hearts
17:59to be used of the devil.
18:03>> And you better be careful
18:05>> cuz they'll befriend you.
18:07>> They'll smile in your face.
18:10>> They'll even speak well of you. But
18:13there are snakes.
18:16>> Oh, I'm going to preach. I don't care if
18:17you say yes or amen.
18:19>> I'm going to expose this devil up in
18:21here today.
18:23>> Not everybody that's assigned to your
18:25life means you well.
18:28>> They're not aligned to your destiny.
18:31>> And it's easy to spot them. It's easy to
18:33check them out.
18:35>> You start sharing your dreams and see
18:37how they act.
18:40You start telling them what you're
18:42dreaming and what you're believing, all
18:44of a sudden they start acting funny cuz
18:46you know what? They never want you to
18:48become greater than them.
18:55>> So you got to make sure you protect
18:57yourself. I'm in a season of my life.
19:01I'm not looking for people to like me.
19:06I'm done past likability stage.
19:11I'm not looking for folks to like me now
19:14cuz I got one who is in love with me.
19:18And as long as he loves me, oh God, I
19:22feel like preaching like a mad man up in
19:25here today. As long as he's in love WITH
19:28ME, THAT'S ENOUGH. [screaming]
19:31[cheering]
19:36We're trying too much of folks to like
19:38us. And because of that, we're
19:40forfeiting our destiny.
19:43>> Come on now.
19:45>> Proverbs 3:26 says,
19:48>> "O glory to God.
19:50>> For the Lord will be your confidence
19:54>> and will not
19:58>> allow your foot to be caught. Yes.
20:01>> He'll keep your foot from being caught.
20:05>> Yes.
20:05>> Because there are people and system that
20:08exist, watch this, to distract you,
20:11derail you, and sabotage
20:15what God has ordained for you.
20:20>> There are people and systems that the
20:22devil has put
20:25for your foot
20:27>> to be caught.
20:31Some of you this morning, God sent me to
20:33tell you the reason why you're stuck
20:36>> is because you got caught.
20:41>> I don't know who this is for.
20:44>> You You can't move. You can't make
20:46progress in your marriage. You can't
20:48make progress in your in your family.
20:50You can't make progress in your
20:51finances. You can't make progress on the
20:54job. can't make progress in the business
20:57is because your foot
21:00>> got caught
21:04>> and and it's it's it's now November
21:10>> and you still haven't made no progress
21:14cuz you got caught. Tap your neighbor
21:17and say, "Don't get caught."
21:20Don't get caught. Cuz when you know God
21:23is your confidence,
21:25>> ain't no trap can hold you back. No
21:30scheme of the devil can stop you. So I'm
21:36sent here this morning to tell you,
21:38protect your peace,
21:41guard your vision, stay rooted in the
21:44word.
21:45>> Protect your peace, guard your vision.
21:48Not everybody ought to tell your
21:50business. Don't tell everybody your
21:52dream. Don't tell everybody what you're
21:54planning to do in 2026 BECAUSE SOME
21:57PEOPLE ARE sent to trap you.
22:05>> Psalm 118:8
22:07reminds us, it's better to take refuge
22:13in the Lord
22:16>> than to trust.
22:19>> Amen.
22:19>> Amen. Woo! This is so good.
22:24[laughter]
22:26>> There are some people you all are
22:28trusting. Give it time.
22:31>> Number three.
22:34>> Stand firm in unshakable confidence.
22:38Woo! This the best part for me. Stand
22:42firm in unshakable confidence
22:47because you have cried long enough.
22:50You have doubted long enough and it's
22:54time you get your confidence back.
22:59>> It's time you get your confidence back.
23:03It's time you pull away from the traps
23:05of the enemy and get your confidence
23:08back because confidence is not based on
23:11comfort.
23:13It's based on covenant.
23:16So I well I'm uncomfortable. I don't
23:18understand what's going on here. How can
23:20I trust the Lord when I'm going through
23:21this? Confidence is not based on
23:24comfort. He never told you that this
23:27journey was going to be comfortable,
23:31>> but he made a covenant with you. Don't
23:34get this twisted. He made a covenant
23:36with you. He said he will not allow He
23:40will not shuffer thy foot
23:44>> wherever God plant you.
23:48Ain't nothing can move you. Whatever God
23:53purpose for you, ain't nothing can stop
23:58it. I don't care how much they talk. I
24:00don't care how much they work
24:02witchcraft. I don't care how much they
24:04put their mouth on you. I don't care how
24:06much they set traps for you. I'm telling
24:10you today, whatever God has designed for
24:13you, whatever he has purposed for your
24:16life, nothing can move you, nothing can
24:19shift it, nothing can change it.
24:24So when the storm rage according to
24:27Isaiah 26:3,
24:30you keep him in perfect peace
24:35>> whose mind is stayed on you because he
24:39trust
24:40>> in you.
24:42>> When you put your trust in God, you'll
24:44be at peace.
24:46>> You'll be in the fire
24:48and he won't burn you.
24:51You'll be going through a dilemma and
24:54you'll be at peace cuz you're not
24:56panicking. Why? Your trust is in God.
24:59>> Glory to God. It's like brother Job.
25:01Brother Job said, "Though he slay me."
25:05>> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to get
25:07some pain. I'm going to go through some
25:08hurt. But though he slay yet,
25:12I just want to talk to about a hundred
25:14of you today. I don't care what you're
25:16going through. I understand it's it's
25:18uncomfortable. But if your trust is in
25:21Jesus Christ, he's going to work it out.
25:25So you must believe again that God will
25:28never fail you. That he loves you with
25:31unconditional
25:33love and that your future is brighter
25:36than your past. Your future is brighter
25:39than your past. Every need in your life,
25:42every need in your life will be met.
25:45every broken area of your life, he's
25:49going to restore it. So stop letting,
25:52watch this, stop letting temporary pain
25:57rob you of permanent [music]
25:59promises.
26:04>> THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE PERMANENT. AMEN.
26:08>> SO, STOP ALLOWING temporary discomfort,
26:12>> my God,
26:13>> to rob you of the promises of God.
26:17>> Stop allowing the storms of life to
26:20cause you to lose your firm foundation
26:23in Jesus Christ. So many of you, you
26:26have allowed fear, heartbreak,
26:29disappointment to strip away your
26:32confidence.
26:35But you are valuable. You matter to God
26:39>> and you are fearfully and wonderfully
26:42made. And I'm TELLING YOU, WHATEVER
26:44YOU'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, if you

27:13BELIEVE THAT THE BEST VERSION OF you has

27:26this room and those of you streaming,
27:29but there are a few of you. I firmly
27:31believe God sent me here today to talk
27:33to you.
27:35>> You got to get your confidence back.
27:37Yes,
27:38>> I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.
27:40I know you you don't feel like you need
27:43to continue, but the world is waiting
27:46for the unveiling of a generation of
27:49believers who would walk confidently in
27:52their Godgiven
27:55confidence.
27:57>> So what if it didn't work last time?
28:02>> So what if they walked away from you? Do
28:05you not know sometime is good they left?
28:12>> SO WHAT? SO WHAT IF IT FAILED? YOU TRIED
28:16LAST TIME AND IT DIDN'T. SO WHAT?

28:31CUZ WHAT THE ENEMY MEANT FOR EVIL.
28:35AH, y'all not preaching with me this
28:37morning. Look how God turned it around
28:39for your good.
28:42Let go. Let go of the past.
28:46>> I'm here today to tell you that as long
28:50as you are standing,
28:52>> God's not done with you.
28:56>> Malachi 7:8, IT SAYS, "REJOICE NOT OVER
29:00ME." Cuz a lot of people, I'm telling
29:02you, your enemies are standing by and
29:06they're waiting for the moment.
29:11>> Good.
29:13I got her.
29:16Her foot is caught.
29:18>> His foot is caught.
29:19>> THEY'RE WAITING TO LAUGH AT YOU. WHY?
29:22BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SEE YOU FAIL. YES.
29:25YES.
29:26>> But I'm SENT HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU,
29:28REJOICE OVER ME NOT. I'M speaking to my
29:32enemies now.
29:33>> Come on. TALK TO YOUR ENEMIES NOW.
29:36>> DON'T REJOICE OVER ME, OH MY ENEMY, WHEN
29:39I FALL, CUZ I WILL, but I shall rise.
29:44Ah, Lord have mercy. Ah, because honey,
29:49WHEN YOU'RE DOWN, there's only one place
29:51to go. is above on top. Be careful WHEN
29:56YOU REACH THE TOP BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY
29:58ONE PLACE FOR YOU TO GO.
30:00>> So I DON'T MIND BEING AT THE BOTTOM
30:03BECAUSE IT gives me hope that I shall
30:05rise again. Oh, somebody ought to give
30:07God praise.
30:11[applause]
30:11So rejoice not over me, my enemies, when
30:16I fall,
30:17cuz I will rise.
30:20But then he says, "When I sit in
30:23darkness,
30:25when I sit in darkness,
30:28you may be laughing at me, but somehow
30:31there's a light
30:34that's [snorts] going to burn on the
30:35inside of me
30:38that I don't care what darkness I go
30:40into. [snorts] If God is with me, the
30:45light of the word of God is going to
30:48sustain me. Glory to God. So, I'm
30:52telling somebody today as I try to close
30:54this message, get your fire back. Would
30:59you hit three people and tell them, "Get
31:01your fire back. Get your fire. You are
31:05lukewarm. You are cold. Get your fire
31:09back. It's time to fight back. Get your
31:12fire back. Uh, NOT ONLY GET YOUR FIRE
31:15BACK, BUT YOU got to get ready dressed
31:18for success. You got to put on your
31:20running shoes. You got to be ready to
31:23take off. AND THIS AIN'T NO TIME TO BE
31:26SOPHISTICATED. If you're going TO RUN
31:28THIS RACE, YOU GOT TO HAVE on the proper
31:31shoes. So, ladies and gentlemen, you
31:33see, I wore this pair of shoes this
31:35morning. And if I'm going to run, this
31:38ain't the shoes to run. Look at your
31:41neighbor and tell him, "You got on the
31:42wrong shoes, baby. You got on the wrong
31:44shoes. If you going to run in this
31:47season of your life, if you got places
31:49to go, things to see, and things to
31:52accomplish, you better change your
31:55shoes, baby, because you don't want
31:58nothing to slow you down. Somebody need
32:01to change his shoes." BECAUSE WHERE GOD
32:03IS TAKING YOU, you don't need them shoes
32:06here, baby. You need a dress for
32:08success. That business that you've been
32:11dreaming about. Come on. You got to have

32:28running shoes. I found me my confidence
32:30in God. and I'm going to dress for
32:33success. Hit somebody AND TELL THEM,
32:35"PUT ON THE RIGHT SHOES. I'm ready now.
32:39I'm ready now. I'm ready. I got a sprint
32:42in me. I'm ready to run this race."
32:45Ain't nothing going to hold me back now.
32:48Somebody need to RUN THIS RACE. AIN'T
32:51NOTHING GOING TO HOLD YOU BACK. ANYBODY
32:53WANT TO RUN this morning?

33:11That's going to shock everybody around
33:13you. IT'S TIME TO SHOCK YOUR enemies and

33:19with me yet.
33:20>> So before you start clapping your hands
33:22and say God's done with her, he's done
33:24with him. You need to realize that I'm
33:27dressing for success. So today, I
33:30challenge you to stand firm.
33:32>> And hold your head up high.
33:36>> Don't you dare be ashamed about what you

44:00>> Those of you are streaming, do the same.
44:05Thank you
44:08Lord. We thank you this morning
44:11that [music] you won't fail us.
44:15Here are
44:18your people,
44:20especially women
44:22who flood this altar, the aisles.
44:26hundreds who are watching online.
44:30Holy Spirit, [music]
44:33give them the strength
44:36to hold on to their confidence
44:40because that woman is not being the best
44:43version of herself
44:46cuz she gave away her confidence.
44:49She started trusting in systems and
44:52people. And so this morning, I ask you
44:56to give them the strength because
44:58they're sincere.
45:00They really want
45:03to find their confidence back.
45:07Help her to find the fighter in her
45:11[music]
45:12>> to keep pushing, keep believing.
45:15That her help doesn't come from people
45:17[music] and things and systems.
45:21But as David said, I would look to the
45:23heels from whence cometh my help. My
45:25help comes from the Lord, the maker of
45:27heaven and earth.
45:29So every young woman, middleage and
45:32senior, I pray this morning
45:36that every one of them will begin to
45:39dress for success,
45:42change the way they're thinking, and
45:45hold on to faith, knowing you will never
45:48fail them. So as they leave here today,
45:51log off today. Everything that you
45:53purpose for them, they shall have it.
45:56>> Amen.
45:57>> Nothing can block it. Nothing can stop
45:59it.
46:00>> Thank you, Father.
46:01>> If you have it in your divine will for
46:03them, they will walk in the promises of
46:06God.
46:07>> Thank you, Lord. [music]
46:08>> And so I thank you this morning that you
46:10gave them a Rama word that will sustain
46:13them not just for this week, but for the
46:16rest of this year.
46:18that they're getting their confidence
46:20back.
46:21And Father, I give you the praise for
46:23the audience, whatever their needs are
46:26this morning. I pray that they will
46:29understand
46:30that faith in God will always move
46:32mountains out of their lives.
46:35And that father that if they can just
46:37muscle up worship. If they can just
46:39muscle up worship worship worship
46:41worship in spite of their situation,
46:43they just worship you even when they
46:46can't trace you, even when they can't
46:47feel [music] you. And that's the reason
46:50why we're going to be here Wednesday for
46:51non-stop worship to worship you. It's
46:54going to be all about you on Wednesday.
46:58So may you bless them. Thank you for
46:59those who are going to join our church
47:01today. I pray that you continue to bless
47:04them, strengthen them, that as we grow
47:06as a church family, we can be the salt
47:09and the light and create a kingdom
47:12culture that will change South Florida
