Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez issues a powerful call to move from 'visiting' God during emergencies to 'dwelling' permanently under His spiritual covering. He warns that while opposition increases as we approach our purpose, those who remain consistent in faith and surrendered to God's shelter will find total protection and eventual elevation in the seasons ahead.
Key points
- •True protection is not found in financial security, professional success, or personal connections, but exclusively in dwelling under the 'shelter of the Most High.'
- •The enemy (Satan) acts as a prowler, specifically targeting those who become spiritually careless or inconsistent in their disciplines.
- •Spiritual elevation often requires leaving one's comfort zone and accepting that certain relationships cannot transition into the next season of God's calling.
- •Consistency in prayer, worship, and the Word is the primary way to remain under God's covering during seasons of transition and opposition.
- •The safest place to be during upcoming global or personal crises is within the permanent residence of God's presence, rather than visiting Him only during emergencies.

Life application
Evaluate your spiritual 'permanent residence' this week by prioritizing consistent prayer and scripture reading, rather than seeking God only when emergencies arise. Practicing intentional silence in the face of criticism or pressure will allow God to defend your character while you remain under His covering.
Reflection questions
- In what areas of your life have you been relying on 'chariots and horses' (finances or status) instead of God's shelter?
- Bishop Fernandez mentioned that not everyone can go where God is taking you; are there relationships you are holding onto out of guilt that may be hindering your spiritual growth?
- How does the distinction between 'visiting' God and 'dwelling' with God change your approach to your daily routine?
- When you face opposition or 'fiery darts,' is your first instinct to explain yourself or to rest in the shadow of the Almighty?

0:00I want to take you to
0:02a book
0:04in Psalm that we've been talking about
0:08uh throughout this month and that is
0:10Psalm 91. Psalm 91.
0:14There are two verses I want us to read.
0:18Two verses and
0:20I'm going to ask for your participation
0:22this morning that we all read it out
0:25loud that Psalm 91.
0:29This is a prayer
0:31of David.
0:33It's a challenge to all of us and
0:36hopefully um the Holy Spirit will speak
0:39to us this morning uh
0:42with these two verses. Are you ready?
0:45Let's read.
0:47Whoever dwells in the shelter of the
0:50Most High will rest in the shadow of the
0:53Almighty.
0:54I will say of the Lord he is my refuge
0:58and my fortress. My God in whom I trust.
1:03Father, thank you for your word today.
1:06Bless your people.
1:08Let this word
1:10minister to their hearts, I pray. In
1:13Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you. You
1:17may be seated in the presence of the
1:20Lord.
1:22I'm going to try to do this as quickly
1:24as possible today.
1:27But I told you earlier I was struggling
1:31whether or not
1:33I should
1:34just flow with what's flowing or should
1:38I still deliver this word and I strongly
1:41believe in my spirit
1:43that God wants me to share this with
1:45you.
1:48As we conclude the month of July
1:52I believe that many of us
1:55can honestly say that this has been more
1:57than just another month on the calendar.
2:00It has been a month of spiritual
2:03renewal.
2:04For many, July has been a month of
2:09number one, recommitment,
2:12surrender consecration generosity and
2:17revival.
2:19You see, God has been calling us back to
2:22himself.
2:24Not because he moved away from us, but
2:27because he desires a deeper relationship
2:32with us.
2:33Some of you have developed a fresh
2:36hunger for God, and that's good.
2:39It's good that you have developed a
2:41fresh hunger for God.
2:43And whenever there is a genuine hunger
2:45for God, faith begins to rise.
2:51When faith rises, expectations
2:54change.
2:56When expectations change, possibilities
3:00expand.
3:02That is why I believe the remainder of
3:052026
3:07will not simply be about surviving,
3:11>> [clears throat]
3:11>> but it will be about witnessing God's
3:15supernatural hand at work in your life.
3:20The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1
3:22Corinthians
3:24chapter 2 verse 9, and you've got to
3:27hear this.
3:28He says, "Eyes have not seen, nor ears
3:32heard, nor have entered into the heart
3:35of a man the things which God has
3:39prepared for those who love him."
3:43If I was to sum up this verse, I would
3:46sum it up this way. Paul is trying to
3:49tell us THAT YOUR BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD of
3:52you.
3:54That you haven't seen all of the
3:56blessings that God has in store for you.
3:59So, I believe that God has blessings and
4:02opportunities and breakthroughs,
4:04healing, restoration, and favor waiting
4:08for those who remain faithful. Notice,
4:11those who remain faithful. Let me say it
4:14again, those who remain faithful.
4:19But, there's something we must
4:21understand [snorts]
4:22about what I just said.
4:25You see, the closer you get to God's
4:28purpose, watch this,
4:30the greater the opposition often
4:33becomes.
4:35Anytime you make a commitment to
4:37rededicate your life to God, to develop
4:40a hunger for God, the enemy is going to
4:43come after you.
4:47So, let me give you
4:50a spiritual forecast
4:52for the next 5 months.
4:56The enemy is not going to surrender
5:00because you recommitted yourself to God.
5:05Don't believe now that you have
5:06surrendered to God, now that God is Lord
5:09of your life, that the enemy is going to
5:12retreat.
5:13He's not going to stop because you
5:16started praying again. He's not going to
5:19quit because you decided to fast or to
5:22become serious about your faith walk.
5:26In fact, scripture reminds us in 1 Peter
5:295 and verse 8, he says, "Be alert
5:34and be sober-minded. Be alert, be
5:37sober-minded. Be alert, be
5:39sober-minded." Why? "The enemy, the
5:43devil, prowls around like a roaring lion
5:46seeking for someone to devour.
5:50That's his assignment.
5:53He's looking FOR YOU.
5:55HE KNOWS HOW DEDICATED YOU are to God.
5:58He knows how serious you are to God.
6:00Some of you, listen, you know it by now,
6:03your only option is God.
6:08That's it. You've made up in your mind
6:10that that your only option is to turn to
6:13God.
6:14And so, what the enemy is going to do,
6:17he is going to prowl around, if you
6:19will. He's going to dance around and
6:22plant himself around the circumstances
6:25of your life, because his goal is to get
6:29you.
6:30That's his goal. Notice the Bible says
6:34he's looking.
6:35He's looking for you.
6:38He's looking for those who become
6:40careless. He's looking for those who
6:43drift away. He's looking for those who
6:46abandon their spiritual disciplines.
6:51But hear God's promise
6:53in Isaiah 54:17.
6:57He says, "EVEN THOUGH THE DEVIL IS A
6:58PROWLER, EVEN THOUGH HE'S LOOKING around
7:01and he's trying to get you, the Bible
7:04says no weapon forged against you will
7:08prevail."
7:10You see, the weapons will form. The
7:12attack may come. The pressure may
7:15increase. But if you remained under
7:17God's covering, it will not destroy you.
7:22And I just want to tell a few of you
7:24this morning who are here, who are
7:25streaming, that I don't care what you
7:28are going through. If you are God's
7:29child, no weapon that the enemy has
7:33formed against you will ever prosper.
7:36It's not going to work.
7:39But here's what you got to know, my
7:41friends, THE SAFEST PLACE during the
7:45next 5 months of this year is simply
7:50is not going to be in your comfort zone.
7:56The safest place to be is not in your
8:01comfort zone.
8:03It is not in your finances. Lord knows
8:06it's not in your finances. I don't care
8:09how much money you got saved up. I don't
8:12care how your credit card is still
8:14available to charge things on it. Let me
8:19tell you something. DON'T YOU TRUST IN
8:21CHARIOTS AND HORSES. Don't you trust in
8:24your money alone.
8:28Cuz I've been telling you and I'm not
8:30standing here as a pastor trying to be
8:32no prophet because we seen so many false
8:34prophets and people just trying to get
8:37clicks and likes on social media and
8:40keep prophesying this is going to
8:42happen. I am not and I don't need any
8:45credit for this.
8:48But I've been warning you.
8:51There's some stuff that's about to
8:53happen.
8:59There's some stuff that's about to
9:01happen to America and the world.
9:05That you better make sure your anchor
9:08grips
9:10the solid rock.
9:14>> [applause]
9:16>> You cannot trust your finances.
9:20Your security is not in your career.
9:24It is under the covering of almighty
9:27God.
9:29Psalm 91
9:31it tells us whoever dwell in the shelter
9:36of the Most High
9:38will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
9:43Notice the word dwells.
9:46It means to remain, to stay,
9:51to continue,
9:53not just to visit occasionally,
9:56not seeking God only during emergencies.
10:02You know, when you're in trouble.
10:04Help me, God. Help me.
10:06No.
10:08But it is to make his presence your
10:13permanent residence.
10:16Those who dwell under God's covering
10:20discover that his protection is greater
10:25than life's circumstances.
10:28And I don't know where you are today in
10:30life.
10:32I don't know where you are.
10:35But you need to come from where you are
10:39and get under the presence of Almighty
10:42God.
10:43There's a place the Bible says what what
10:46what the the psalmist says, whoever
10:48dwells, IT'S A PROPOSITION. NOBODY'S
10:51FORCING YOU TO DO IT. GOD'S NOT FORCING
10:53YOU TO COME TO HIM. HE'S NOT FORCING YOU
10:56TO LOOK TO HIM, the author and the
10:58finisher of your faith. He's given you
11:00an invitation. Whoever dwells
11:04in the shelter,
11:06a safe place,
11:08the shadow of the Almighty,
11:10you'll be safe.
11:13YOU'LL BE SAFE.
11:15YOU'RE HANGING OUT AT THE WRONG PLACES.
11:19And God IS GIVING YOU AN INVITATION FOR
11:22THE NEXT 5 months of this YEAR TO BE
11:25SAFE.
11:27YOU CANNOT trust the systems of the
11:30world anymore.
11:33YOU CANNOT TRUST RELIGION ANYMORE.
11:36YOU CANNOT TRUST PEOPLE ANYMORE.
11:40But there's one person who will never
11:42fail you. His name is Jesus.
11:48And it's time you come from among them.
11:51Come out of the crowd and totally
11:55surrender your life to God today. We've
11:58been talking about the blood of Jesus.
12:00We took communion and there's something
12:03about the shelter of God. There's
12:07something about the shelter of God.
12:08Listen, he's not coming to you. You've
12:12got to come to him.
12:14Please bring me the sheet. Please bring
12:16me the sheet. Now, I need four guys here
12:18with me. I need four Deval. Come here
12:20quickly. Come here. Yes, come here. Come
12:21here. Need four guys. Need two more. Two
12:23more. Two more. Two more. Quickly. Two
12:26more. Two more guys. Two more. Yes, I

12:30me a favor. Open this and you're going
12:32to make like a canopy.
12:34Like a
12:36an umbrella. Just open up both ends,
12:38please.
12:39Quickly. I want to do this quick cuz I'm
12:41almost out of time. Hold it up. Hold it
12:44up.
12:45So, the scripture says, I want to read
12:47it again because now it's going to make
12:48sense. Whoever dwells
12:52Whoever dwells
12:54in the shelter
12:57the shelter that God has created, not
12:59the one that you've created.
13:04>> [applause]
13:05>> Oh, SO YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE BECAUSE
13:08YOU GOT A DEGREE AND YOU GOT YOUR JOB
13:11AND YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY OR
13:13YOU'VE GOT CONNECTIONS. THAT'S YOUR
13:16COVERING.
13:21But what YOU GOING TO DO WHEN GOD
13:24[screaming] BLOWS THE ROOF OFF YOUR
13:26COVERING.
13:32WHOEVER DWELLS IN THE SHELTER, the
13:36safest place to be
13:39is in the shelter
13:42of God Almighty.
13:44Cuz when you're under his pavilion,
13:46ain't nothing can TOUCH YOU.
13:49I DOUBLE DOG DARE THE devil
13:53to come into the perimeters that God has
13:56put around you to mess with you. Cuz
14:00when you're IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST
14:02HIGH GOD, THIS IS WHERE HIS PRESENCE,
14:06HIS BLESSINGS, HIS ANOINTING WILL
14:08OVERTAKE YOU.
14:13And so, I don't care what age you are.
14:17I don't care what age you are. Bring the
14:18four chairs out.
14:20I don't care what age you are.
14:22You may be a young person this morning.
14:24I'm telling you this morning, listen to
14:26me carefully,
14:28you better leave where you're at
14:32and get under the covering.
14:39>> [applause]
14:40>> Cuz when trouble takes you,
14:43there's only one place to run to.
14:45Where do I go to?
14:48I run to the rock.
14:51Anybody know who that rock is?
14:54I said, anybody knows who that rock is?
14:57That rock is Jesus.
15:00He said, UPON THIS ROCK I build my
15:02church. I just STOPPED BY TO ENCOURAGE
15:05SOMEBODY HERE TODAY. AIN'T NOBODY can
15:08mess WITH YOU. AIN'T NOBODY CAN HARM
15:12YOU. AIN'T NOBODY CAN HURT YOU when
15:15you're UNDER THE SHELTER OF THE MOST
15:19GOD. Let them work their witchcraft. Let
15:23them point things at you. LET THEM TALK
15:26ABOUT YOU. They can't do YOU NOTHING. IF
15:30GOD BE FOR YOU, WHO CAN BE against you?
15:38Tell your neighbor get under the
15:39pavilion of God. Get under the covering
15:42of God.
15:45So, it's going to require you
15:48to leave your comfort zone. Come here.
15:51It's going to require you
15:53to leave your comfort zone.
15:56And watch this.
15:58You don't sit where God wants you to
16:00sit, where you want to sit. You sit
16:02where he placed you. No.
16:04You sit where he placed you.
16:08I'm going somewhere with this. I'm going
16:10somewhere with this.
16:12It's time you leave your comfort zone.
16:14Come here, sir. Come here. I'm talking
16:16to you.
16:18It's time you leave
16:20the season of
16:22comfort.
16:24God's trying to push you into your
16:26destiny.
16:28He's trying to birth something great out
16:31OF YOUR EYES OF NOT SEEING.
16:34>> [cheering]
16:35>> You have yet TO HEAR THE ELEVATION THAT
16:39GOD WANTS TO BRING INTO YOUR LIFE. IN
16:42FACT, HE'LL PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE YOU
16:45IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES. HE LETS
16:48YOUR ENEMIES SEE AND WATCH HOW HE'S
16:52GETTING READY TO BLESS YOU.
16:55I don't know this is for Come on, sir.
16:57Come on.
16:58Come on.
16:59Be seated there. Be seated there.
17:02I need me a child who's about 10 years,
17:0410 years. The first kid that is about
17:0610, run up here real fast. I'm going
17:09something Anybody 10, 10, anybody. Come
17:12here. Come here, sweetheart.
17:14Even children. Listen to me, parents.
17:17Listen to me, parents.
17:20Stop worrying about your kids.
17:27WHAT YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE
17:30LIKE my mom when she was alive, I GREW
17:33UP WHERE MY MOM WOULD WAKE UP 2:00 IN
17:36THE MORNING, 3:00 IN THE MORNING, and
17:39she'll come to our room.
17:41Glory to God. And she'll make sure we're
17:44under the covering of God. And while
17:47we're sleeping, all my mom would do, I
17:50bless him in the name of the Father, the
17:53blood the blood of Jesus.
17:55Touch my boy. Touch my girl. In the name
17:58of Jesus. YOU GOT TO START WARFARING FOR
18:01YOUR CHILDREN RIGHT NOW. THE DEVIL IS
18:04OUT TO GET THEM. BUT IF YOU BRING THEM
18:06UNDER THE PAVILION OF GOD, NO WEAPON
18:10FORMED AGAINST THEM WILL EVER PROSPER.
18:19AND HERE'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT GOD.
18:22BECAUSE THERE ARE times the enemy will
18:24see that you're under God's pavilion.
18:27And he's a prowler. I read it before.
18:29He's a prowler. He's looking around to
18:32find a way where he can shoot his darts
18:35at you. Because he says HE KNOWS I CAN'T
18:39GET under the pavilion.
18:41THE DEVIL CAN'T GO WHERE GOD PLACED YOU.
18:46HE'LL BRIBE YOU. HE'LL PUSH YOU. COME.
18:50He'll call you. He'll attempt to get you
18:52out OF THE PAVILION. AND WHEN HE CAN'T
18:55GET YOU OUT OF THE SHELTER OF GOD, HE'LL
18:58TRY TO SHOOT DARTS AT YOU. BUT THE THING
19:01I LOVE ABOUT the psalmist when HE SAYS,
19:03"WHOEVER DWELL IN THE SHELTER OF THE
19:05MOST HIGH WILL REST."
19:09SOMEBODY SHOUT REST.
19:12Will rest in the shadow
19:15of the almighty.
19:17Here is what God is getting ready to do
19:19it. I don't know if you going to shout
19:21like me, but when he showed it to me, I
19:23almost lost my mind when I was putting
19:26my notes together. He said, "Henry, tell
19:29the people it's time to rest."
19:39>> [cheering]
19:41>> YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE EVERY FIERY DARTS
19:45OF THE enemy is not going to work now.
19:47YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE HE SAID, "SON, I'M
19:50ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING THE NEXT 5 months
19:53of 2026
19:54that is going to cover my people so well
19:57THAT EVERYTHING THE DEVIL TRIES, it
20:00won't work." THIS IS WHAT GOD'S GETTING
20:03READY TO DO. WORK WITH me here. Come on.
20:06>> [cheering]
20:12>> Hit somebody and tell them, "I'M FULLY
20:14COVERED."
20:16TELL SOMEBODY ELSE, "I'M FULLY COVERED."
20:19Whatever the enemy is trying in the next
20:225 MONTHS, GOD GOT YOU COVERED from the
20:25back, from the front, FROM THE SIDE. I'M
20:29TELLING YOU IT'S GOD'S ABOUT TO ELEVATE
20:32YOU TO A NEW HEIGHT THAT'S GOING TO BLOW
20:35YOUR MIND. SOMEBODY SHOUT IT OUT, "I'M
20:38COVERED!"
20:42>> [cheering]
20:45>> STAY RIGHT THERE. STAY RIGHT THERE. I'M
20:47almost through.
20:49So, here are four commitments you need
20:52to activate for the rest of 2026. Please
20:54be seated for a quick moment.
20:56Number one, you got to stay consistent.
21:02Got to stay consistent, man.
21:05The Bible says, "Do not
21:07become weary in doing good."
21:11Don't you stop doing good for at the
21:13proper time, proper time,
21:16proper time, God, you will reap, the
21:19Bible says, a harvest
21:21if you do not give up. One of the
21:23greatest enemies of spiritual growth is
21:26inconsistency.
21:29Many people begin strong but fail to
21:31finish well.
21:35Consistency builds character.
21:37Consistency strengthens faith.
21:40Consistency positions
21:43you for God's promises.
21:46So, don't let disappointments
21:49interrupt your devotion to God. Stay
21:52grounded in prayer. Stay faithful in
21:55worship. Stay committed in God's word.
21:58Stay planted where God has called you
22:03to.
22:04Stay there.
22:08I know it's uncomfortable.
22:11I know IN A SOCIETY WHERE EVERYBODY WANT
22:13TO SHOW OFF.
22:16But God's got you covered.
22:19He's hiding you from things that you
22:21don't even see.
22:26>> [applause]
22:29>> So, stay grounded in prayer. Stay
22:33faithful in worship. Stay committed to
22:35God's word.
22:36Number two,
22:38learn who and receive what
22:41I was preaching to myself when I was
22:43getting the notes, man.
22:44Number two, learn the power [laughter]
22:47of silence.
22:53>> [applause]
22:54>> Proverbs 17:28,
22:57"Even fools
23:00are thought wise if they keep silent.
23:05Problem with some of you, you talk too
23:08much.
23:10You got to explain yourself to
23:12everybody.
23:14Not everything deserves an explanation.
23:17Not every criticism deserves a response.
23:21Not every opinion deserves your
23:23attention.
23:25Jesus often reminds or remained silent
23:29before those who were determined
23:32to misunderstand him.
23:34Sometimes God fight battles
23:37that your words will only complicate.
23:43Be quiet.
23:45You don't have to respond.
23:48Let God defend your character
23:51WHILE YOU REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE CALL.
23:55YOU STAY WHERE HE HAS PLANTED YOU.
23:57NUMBER THREE,
23:59accept that everyone cannot go where God
24:02is taking you.
24:12>> [cheering]
24:13>> I can't dance, but I got to do a little
24:15bit of dance myself.
24:17EVERYBODY CAN'T GO WHERE GOD IS TAKING
24:21YOU.
24:23Genesis 12:1,
24:25we find the story
24:27where GOD TOLD ABRAHAM,
24:30"GO TO A LAND THAT I WILL show you."
24:34When Abraham
24:36was called,
24:38God called him away from the place he
24:41was familiar with.
24:44But he made a mistake.
24:47Made a mistake.
24:49He took somebody with him
24:52that God said
24:55no to.
24:57Every season in your life requires,
25:00watch this,
25:01difficult decisions.
25:04Everyone who started with you cannot
25:07always continue
25:10with you.
25:13Not because they are bad people,
25:16but because every assignment requires,
25:18watch this, different relationships.
25:22So, don't allow guilt to keep you
25:24connected to people who God has released
25:28from the next chapter of your life.
25:32You don't owe them any explanation.
25:35When God released people, let them go.
25:44All you need to do is to walk forward
25:46with love,
25:48but always obedient. Finally, number
25:51four, pursue God above everything else.
25:56Matthew 6:33 tells us, seek first the
25:58kingdom of God is righteousness, and all
26:00these things will be added to you as
26:02well. So, our greatest pursuit should
26:06never be, watch this, success.
26:10Should never be possessions, should
26:12never be recognition.
26:15Our greatest pursuit should always be to
26:18know God
26:19and to be at the right place at the
26:23right time
26:24where he has planted us. The more you
26:27know about him, the more you know about
26:29him is the more clearly you'll recognize
26:31his voice, the more clearly you'll
26:33recognize him, and the more confidence
26:36you will walk in his purpose for your
26:38life.
26:40So, as we prepare to
26:41for the final 5 months of this year,
26:44please remember this, the greatest
26:46victory you can experience is not merely
26:49reaching, watch this, another goal.
26:52It is remaining under the covering
26:56of almighty God.
27:00Because storms will come.
27:03Opposition
27:04will come.
27:06Unexpected moments will come.
27:09But those who remain in God's presence,
27:13only those who remain in God's presence,
27:16the Bible says
27:18will dwell forever.
27:20I say this, Psalm 121 verse 7
27:25and verse 8.
27:27The Lord will keep you. Watch this.
27:31I I This is the word.
27:35When all hell breaks loose,
27:40the Lord will keep you from some harm.
27:48What does your Bible say?
27:51All harm.
27:53HE WILL WATCH
27:55OVER your life.
27:58The Lord will watch over your coming
28:01and your going
28:03both now
28:06both now
28:09So you going to be all right in August.
28:13You going TO BE ALL RIGHT IN SEPTEMBER.
28:16Oh yes, you going to be all right in
28:18October.
28:20You going to be fine in November.
28:23Come December, oh, he's still watching
28:26over you.
28:28Why? Because
28:30you're under the covering as
28:32uncomfortable
28:35as it feels.
28:37Come on, hold both hands.
28:40Because at the Don't Don't not hear it
28:43for Work with me here.
28:44Too Too Too fast.
28:47But at the right time.
28:56Let them talk.
29:00Let them say, "Where where is she? Where
29:02is he? I haven't heard anything." Let
29:04them talk.
29:06God's got you for a set time.
29:09Cuz when the right time comes
29:12and he lifts the veil,
29:18hello world.
29:21It's a brand new you.
29:23Eyes have not seen what God is doing in
29:27your life. I'm telling you the next
29:30season of your life, God is going to
29:33showcase you to the world. Somebody
29:36ought to give him a praise in this
29:37house.
29:40Stand on your feet, everybody.
29:43Please work with me. If you don't have
29:45to leave, just just stay right where you
29:47are. You don't have to log off right
29:48now.
29:49I'm going to let you go. Thank you so
29:51much, everyone. Thank you so much.
29:53But I please please I really want you to
29:55hear this.
29:57In fact, would you hold hands with your
29:59neighbor? Would you do that?
30:00Just hold hands with somebody that's
30:02you're standing next to.
30:05I'm telling you this morning.
30:09I'm telling you.
30:11Get under the pavilion.
30:14Get under the shelter of God.
30:19Because
30:21again, I don't I
30:24If you don't believe me, that's fine.
30:29But the devil
30:32God has given him
30:36permission
30:38to make a move.
30:44He can make no move without God.
30:48So, God gave him a
30:50permission to make a move.
30:54But, it's all in the plan of God.
30:58Because all things
31:03as uncomfortable as it is
31:06all things work together for good to
31:08them that love the Lord and are called
31:10to contest purpose.
31:13So, there are going to be some series of
31:16events
31:19that is going to shock
31:21the core
31:24of who we are.
31:27And if you are playing church
31:33you only get under the pavilion
31:36when there's an emergency.
31:40You going to come to the door
31:43and it's locked.
31:48Cuz you didn't heed [music] the warning.
31:53This is not for people who just want to
31:54visit God.
32:02He that dwelleth, stay, remain.
32:06If you stay there
32:09you'll be all right.
32:13Whatever you [clears throat] do
32:14for the next 5 months
32:18force yourself
32:21to get in the word.
32:25And surrender your life to God.
32:30Cuz I'm telling you what's about to hit
32:32us.
32:35If
32:36Thank you, Holy Spirit.
32:37If you think COVID was bad,
32:46COVID was a preparation.
32:53Get under his covering.
32:57I have not sent you today to scare you.
33:01He who has an ear,
33:05let him hear
33:07what the spirit of God
33:11is saying. Father,
33:15I've concluded my assignment.
33:19I did what you wanted me to do this
33:21morning.
33:24I joined with your people this morning
33:27to say we surrender
33:30everything to you.
33:33We open our hearts,
33:35asking you to be Lord
33:38over our lives.
33:41We pull ourselves away from the crowd,
33:44the toxicity,
33:46and we place ourselves
33:49under your word,
33:51that you will heal us
33:54from all the diseases, not just
33:56physical, but mental,
33:58emotional,
34:01that you will help us
34:05so that when the storm comes, it's not
34:08if,
34:11when the prowler
34:14gained access by permission.
34:20When he touched Job, you gave him
34:23permission.
34:24You went to him and you said, "Have you
34:26considered
34:28my servant Job?"
34:31And he got excited
34:34because he felt that Job
34:38was only serving you
34:41because of how you blessed him.
34:44So it is today, many of us
34:48are just serving you.
34:51Going to church when we feel like
34:55reading our Bible when we have time or
34:57when we're in trouble.
35:00We're looking for a scripture to prove
35:02to perform magic.
35:06But Job was faithful.
35:10And when
35:11you gave the devil permission to go to
35:13Job, oh, Job experienced a series of
35:17disaster.
35:21Oh,
35:23it touched his family,
35:26his wealth,
35:28even his physical body.
35:32His partner said to him,
35:36out of concern,
35:38might as well you just walk away from
35:40God.
35:42But Job
35:44knew the importance of that covering.
35:49Job was willing to say, though he slay
35:51me,
35:58I don't care if I lose my job. I don't
35:59care if I lose my bank account. I don't
36:01care if my family members start dying. I
36:04don't care if the devil hit me with a
36:07sickness that's not even in my
36:08bloodline.
36:11Though he slay me,
36:14yet
36:17I'm going to trust God.
36:20All my appointed time,
36:23I'm going to wait till my change come.
36:27So there are many of us in this room
36:28today
36:30as we join hands together saying,
36:34"We going to wait on you, God."
36:38Because
36:39some of us have been to the bottom
36:42and there's only one place to go.
36:45It's to the top.
36:49And we can't wait for the elevation. We
36:51can't wait to see what you're going to
36:53unveil to the world
36:57of your goodness
36:58towards us. Bless this congregation.
37:02Let them leave with this word. Let them
37:04never forget it.
37:07Let us all receive it,
37:11go home with it, on our jobs this week
37:15knowing
37:17that you want us to get under your
37:18covering.
37:21Yes Lord.
37:22Thank you.
37:24Thank you for their faithfulness and
37:25giving.
37:27Thank you for those who will obey.
37:30Thank you for those who will pray,
37:33stand with this church, and volunteer,
37:35and to do all that they need to do
37:38to take kingdom culture to the streets.
37:42Give us a wonderful week this week.
37:45I believe this message is covering
37:46someone from something the enemy planned
37:48this week.
37:51Help them to remember the demonstration
37:54for the rest of their lives. Lift your
37:56hands now, everybody.
38:00And it's our benediction
38:02that we declare every service. [music]
38:06We don't normally use the doxology.
38:08That's normally
38:10many churches use it. They take it from
38:12the Bible. Nothing wrong with that.
38:15But, this is the signature,
38:17the DNA of this church.
38:20We are faith people.
38:24We believe
38:26that faith in God will move mountains.
38:29Why? Cuz this church is under the
38:32pavilion, the shelter of God.
38:36We believe that.
38:37>> [music]
38:40>> Oh, the enemy tried to destroy us.
38:44But when you're under the pavilion of
38:46God, I promise you
38:49his covering will shield you. [music]
38:51Lift hands and let's say it out loud.
38:53Faith in God will move mountains out of
38:57your life. [music] God bless you. Have a
38:59wonderful day.
