11:41provision. We are calling for provision.

11:43We are leaning on your strength right

11:44now, God. And we are calling on you, our

11:46shepherd, to order our steps, God. There

11:50are moments of uncertainty that we are

11:51facing right now, God. And we are

11:55uncertainty, Father God. We know that

13:03are needing you to show us that things

13:05will be okay, God.

13:07God, we know that you count every tear

13:09that we have, God. And you track our

13:20our tears, God. We are calling for grace

13:22and mercy in this hour of despair, God.

13:26God, you told us to be anxious for

13:28nothing, but in prayer and supplication

13:30with thanksgiving to let our requests be

13:32known to you, God. But in this hour

14:18constant battle, where I am at a

14:20constant war. God, I am fighting against

14:22life right now, God. And I need you to

14:24be my shield, God. For you are the God

15:44rescue me, God. And I am calling out to

15:46you right now, God. There is someone

15:49right now, God, who is facing some of

15:51the hardest times in their life, God.

17:14heard his voice. I've felt his power.

17:16You have comforted me in my darkest

17:18hours, God. And this right now is a dark

18:21give you a a yes so the soul will be

18:24fruitful. Father God, I am calling on

18:33by the jobs, who are distracted by

18:35fears. Father God, I am calling on them

18:43word said to seek, Father God. So I am

18:45calling for a push, Father God, a

18:47prompting of the spirit to show them

18:50that they need to search for you, Father

18:52God. That they need to find you, Father

18:54God. The same way they seek love on this

18:58acceptance. The same way they seek

19:00restorations and the same way they seek

19:02leadership and the same way they seek

19:04freedom from the leaders of this world

19:06right now, Father God. But no leader

19:08reigns supreme, Father God, over you.

19:10For you are Elohim, Father God, and you

19:12are the one supreme leader, Father God.

19:15Show them that you are their covering,

19:17Father God, that they will give you a

23:01whoever is going through a hard time,

23:03Father God. That there may be a

23:16we know that that terror and the the

24:32up that place right now. And you are

24:34about to reveal what the enemy is trying

24:36to do, Father God. And I know that

24:38you're about to bring your fist down,

24:41God, and have a powerful intervention,

24:43God. I feel your presence and I know you

24:46are working, Father God. I feel it right

24:48now, God. I know that you are working

24:50through someone's anxiety right now,

24:52Father God. I know that someone is

24:55crying out to you right now, Father God.

24:57And I'm asking that you are comforting

24:59them as the tears are rolling down their

27:10Oh God, you are God. You already know

28:24background, I'm sorry. They about to get

28:25him together. Okay, y'all. I'm sorry. I

28:27know some of y'all like, "Kitty, come

28:31presence of God and I can't ignore it.

28:35All right, y'all. Oh, God. You are so

28:41You are so amazing. Okay, y'all. Y'all

28:43ready? Let's get it popping.

28:48All right, y'all. So, let's go ahead.

28:49Bev, you want to read us whenever we

28:51start off for y'all today. I'm sorry.

28:53Before we even get started, this Bible

28:55study is going to go two ways, by the

28:56way, because God did something

28:57miraculous with me and Beverly this

28:59morning. So, it's definitely going to go

29:00two ways, but the title is rest assured.

29:03God always has a plan. Excuse me.

29:06>> Sorry.

29:07>> Rest assured.

29:09>> Rest. God always

29:13you sing every time.

29:14>> I caught myself that time. Why would you

29:16even keep talking? I literally caught

29:19myself.

29:20>> Why would you even catch that?

29:22>> Rest assured, God always has a plan. My

29:26God. Our full text that we're going to

29:29be reading is chapter 7:es 1-13.

29:33>> But we are going to be in Exodus. our

29:36primary our key scripture. I'm sorry.

29:37It's going to be Exodus. Okay, I said

29:40Exodus 7:es 3-4, but we're going to read

29:44all the way to verses 13. Okay, y'all

29:47ready? When y'all have it, say amen.

29:48Let's get ready to get started. Y'all

29:51ready? All right, Bibli, I'mma let you

29:53lead. I am in NLT. Bev, what are you

29:55reading in?

29:56>> I'm in NLT today, too.

29:57>> Okay, y'all. We are in NLT today. Just

30:00follow along. If you don't have NLT,

30:02that is fine. Y'all know primarily we're

30:03usually here. So, we're in NLT. Beverly

30:06is yours.

30:07>> Yes. Yes. Yes, y'all. Thank you, Lord.

30:10Thank you for that. Aaron's staff

30:14becomes a serpent. Exodus 7. Then the

30:18Lord said to Moses, "Pay close attention

30:21to this. I will make you seem like God

30:24to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will

30:27be your prophet. Tell Aaron everything I

30:31command you." And Aaron must command

30:34Pharaoh to let the people of Israel

30:37leave his country. But I will make

30:40Pharaoh's heart stubborn so I can

30:42multiply my miraculous signs and wonders

30:46in the land of Egypt. Even then, Pharaoh

30:50will refuse to listen to you. So I will

30:53bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will

30:57rescue my forces, my people, the

31:00Israelites, from the land of Egypt with

31:03great acts of judgment. When I raise my

31:06powerful hand and bring out the

31:08Israelites, the Egyptians will know that

31:11I am the Lord." So Moses and Aaron did

31:15just as the Lord had commanded them.

31:19Moses was 80 years old. Come on,

31:23somebody who thinks it's too late for

31:24them cuz it's never not.

31:26>> And Aaron was 83. Come on, somebody. God

31:30don't care where you at, what age you

31:32are. When they made their demands to

31:34Pharaoh. Then the Lord said to Moses and

31:38Aaron, Pharaoh will demand, "Show me a

31:42miracle. When he does this, say to

31:44Aaron, take your staff and throw it down

31:47in front of Pharaoh, and it will become

31:50a serpent." So Moses and Aaron went to

31:52Pharaoh and did what the Lord had

31:55commanded them. Aaron threw down his

31:58staff before Pharaoh and his officials,

32:00and it became a serpent. Verse 11, then

32:04Pharaoh called in his own wise men and

32:07sorcerers. And these Egyptian magicians

32:11did the same thing with their magic.

32:15They threw down their staffs, which also

32:18became serpents. But then Aaron's staff

32:21swallowed up their staffs. Pharaoh's

32:24heart, however, remained hard. He still

32:28refused to listen just as the Lord had

32:32predicted.

32:34>> Amen.

32:37>> Amen.

32:37>> Look at God going off cuz he said you

32:39Oh, you thought you was going to turn

32:40your staff into a ser. Okay, that's

32:43cute.

32:45Be have discernment, y'all. That's what

32:47it means. It means have discernment

32:50because you can be deceived, right? Cuz

32:54uh he brought out his sorcerers and his

32:57wickedness to perform signs and

32:59miracles. So don't think cuz you be

33:01asking for a sign and a miracle that the

33:03enemy can't do something too.

33:05Discernment is key and knowing when it's

33:08God is key. Okay? Just saying.

33:11>> But then God always prevails. Sorry.

33:13Come on now.

33:14>> I'm just saying.

33:15>> Come on.

33:17See? Up. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, could

33:20y'all give me one second? Let me hold

33:21on. This is one second. One sec. Let's

33:23see.

33:25Okay, you got it. Okay, never mind.

33:28Sorry about that. Okay, so let's get

33:29into it. First, let's talk about verses

33:311 through two, y'all. Let's let's let's

33:33get into this first. Okay. Then the Lord

33:35said to Moses, "Pay close attention to

33:37this. I will make you seem like God to

33:39Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be

33:42your prophet. Tell Aaron everything I

33:44command you. And Aaron must conf comm

33:46command Pharaoh to let the people of

33:47Israel leave his country.

33:51Let's talk for a minute about this.

33:54God didn't ask Moses what he wanted to

33:56do.

33:58>> God didn't ask Moses what was a good

34:00idea.

34:02His plan was already pre-written.

34:05God already had the plan. It was already

34:09pre-written. And I say that because a

34:11lot of times for us, we forget that

34:13God's plan is already pre-written.

34:16He's been working on that.

34:18That's been taken care of. So even

34:22before the conflict even began, by the

34:24way, God had already elevated Moses's

34:28authority,

34:30even before the conflict had even began.

34:34>> Listen to what I'm saying. God had

34:36already elevated Moses's authority. He

34:40said, "I will make you seem like God to

34:43Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be

34:44your prophet."

34:46That was already done.

34:50The same way he did Moses and Aaron, he

34:53equipped them. He Let's Let's Let me go

34:55back a little bit. He equipped Moses

34:58with help already is the same way God is

35:01going to equip us with help in our

35:03conflict.

35:05So when we are going through problems,

35:07when we are going through worries, when

35:08we are going through strain and we are

35:10going through conflict and all those

35:11things, God is going to equip us with

35:12some type of help.

35:15Doesn't matter if it's a human or not.

35:18He's already taken care of it.

35:21How many of you all actually believe

35:22that? You know that whatever God's plan

35:26is, it was already done beforehand.

35:28Everything in the Bible tells us that.

35:30>> Amen.

35:31So then we we get to verse three, right?

35:34Let's let's keep going for a second. But

35:36I will make Pharaoh's heart stubborn.

35:41I will make Pharaoh's heart stubborn so

35:43I can multiply my miraculous signs and

35:45wonders in the land of Egypt. Even then,

35:48Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So

35:50I will bring down my fist.

35:53>> He didn't say I was going to bring down

35:55my hand. Well, in the other word, he

35:58doesn't NLT my fist. I'm sorry. In the

36:00other uh translations, he does say my

36:02hand, but NLT makes it a little more

36:04modernized, so you can understand the

36:06impact of it. In NLT, it says he will

36:08bring I will bring down my fist on

36:11Egypt. We already know that when God

36:12places his hand out there, it's going to

36:14be a judgment. It's going to be some

36:15type of intervention. But NLT said,

36:17"Hold on, let me help y'all better

36:19understand the severity of this right

36:21now. I will bring down my fist on Egypt.

36:25Then I will rescue my forces, my people,

36:27the Israelites, from the land of Egypt

36:29with great acts of judgment.

36:33The resistance that they felt was part

36:34of the strategy.

36:37And God said, I'm going to use the

36:39rebellion of Pharaoh to reveal my glory.

36:43And that's probably what's happening in

36:45you all's life as well. I'm going to use

36:48the rebellious acts of the enemy, the

36:51pride of the enemy, and everything else

36:53to reveal my glory because I'm about to

36:54do something miraculous.

36:57It was already pre-written.

37:00When God brought down his hand, though,

37:02in this text, we're talking I want y'all

37:04to think about somebody bringing down

37:07their hand versus somebody bringing down

37:08their fist. I want y'all to actually see

37:12that when someone brings down their

37:15fist, God was showing his wrath.

37:18>> Yes.

37:19>> He said, "I am the God who can crush all

37:22opposition."

37:24So for all of you all who feel oppressed

37:28and you feel like you just keep on

37:30facing these problems, you feel like the

37:32enemy is just working overtime against

37:34you.

37:35We serve a God who is able to crush any

37:38opposition that is trying to work

37:39against you.

37:41>> It's a part of his plan. Because

37:42remember in the I wills, we talked about

37:44that. We talked about the I wills

37:46before. The usage of this word fist

37:49right here conveys a very forceful

37:52intervention.

37:54A very forceful intervention.

37:56Think of it like a closed fist hitting

37:58something.

38:00God is going to come down and dismantle

38:02any and everything that stands in the

38:06way of his promise. Let me say that

38:07again because I know a lot of y'all are

38:09in a season of worry.

38:11A lot of y'all are feeling doubt. Y'all

38:13are seeing things that are happening in

38:15this economy that are happening in this

38:17world and y'all are afraid. Y'all are

38:20binge watching the stuff that y'all see

38:22on Tik Tok and Instagram and everything

38:24else. And you like, Lord, what's going

38:26to happen? God's fist the same way he

38:28did in Egypt. His fist will come down

38:31and dismantle any and everything that

38:36stands in the way of his promise. Do

38:39y'all remember the promises we talked

38:40about in the last Bible study?

38:43Do y'all remember the promises we talked

38:44about in the last Bible study? The I

38:46wills.

38:48I will bring you out. I will rescue you

38:51from bondage. I will redeem you. I will

38:53take you as my people. I will be your

38:56God. I will bring you into the land

38:59>> and I will give it to you.

39:01>> Come on.

39:02>> Y'all remember those I wills, those

39:04promises that he made.

39:05>> Good.

39:07>> Y'all remember that? The seven eye wills

39:11and we talked about clinging to those

39:12promises. So any type of opposition that

39:15is trying to work against what God has

39:17already promised you, he is not going to

39:19let it be. So it's not going to conquer

39:21you. It's not going to win. He's going

39:23to come down and dismantle it. So why

39:25are you worried?

39:28His plans for you are already

39:29pre-written.

39:30Why are we worried?

39:36Pharaoh had a rebellious, prideful,

39:38arrogant, self- worshiping nature.

39:43Not only did God say, "Hey, Moses,

39:44Aaron, I need y'all to go do this." But

39:46he gave them instructions.

39:49All right? He gave them instructions. He

39:50told them, "I want you to show them a

39:52miracle."

39:55He said, "I I want you to throw down

39:57that staff and it's going to turn into a

39:59serpent. That's what I want you to throw

40:00down the staff before Pharaoh and it'll

40:03become a serpent." And it did. And then

40:05Pharaoh said, "Where's my sorcerers at?

40:08Where's my occult leaders?

40:11Show them that you can turn your staffs

40:13into serpents, too. I want y'all to see

40:16the opposition. I want y'all to see

40:18this." God said, "I want you to take

40:20this staff and it's going to turn into a

40:22serpent. Just just throw the staff down.

40:24Oh, it turned into a serpent." Pharaoh,

40:27Mr. Self worship, Mr. I want to be in

40:29control. Mr. I want to reign sovereign,

40:30Mr. Mr. I'm bigger than the program. I'm

40:33bigger than God says, "Well, I got my

40:35people who can do this, too. I can do

40:36the same thing that God does. Turn y'all

40:40staffs into serpents." And they did so.

40:41And then what happened?

40:44The staff that God told them to throw

40:46down and turn into a serpent swallowed

40:48those other serpents. I want y'all to

40:50envision that the enemy tries to prove

40:54and show that he's bigger than the

40:55program. And God says, "Uh-uh, I reign

40:58supreme.

41:00I'm sovereign."

41:02So when I made these pro when I made

41:04these promises

41:07to Israel,

41:08>> when I made these promises to y'all, no

41:12matter who comes against you, no matter

41:15the opposition, no matter the leaders,

41:18none of that. No matter who comes

41:20against you, I reign supreme.

41:23I'm sovereign.

41:26I'm bigger than the program, this

41:29program that y'all think that y'all

41:30living in. All of us, all of us have

41:32been living in a program. God is bigger

41:35than all of that.

41:37And he has he has all of this worked out

41:40already. So we don't why are we

41:41worrying?

41:44We don't need to worry. But there is

41:46something that we do need to do. This is

41:48where we going to twist the Bible study

41:50a little bit. We need to check our heart

41:52posture

41:53>> cuz that matters as well,

41:55>> right?

41:55>> We need to check our heart posture. Why?

41:58Because God revealed something in

42:00Pharaoh

42:02>> that a lot of people struggle with and

42:04don't recognize it, right? Can Can we

42:06get into that? Y'all mind if we twist it

42:08up just a little bit? Y'all mind if we

42:10take it there for a little bit?

42:13Okay. God hardened Pharaoh's heart.

42:17God hardened.

42:20He said, "But I will make Pharaoh's

42:21heart stubborn." Mhm.

42:24>> God hardened Pharaoh's heart.

42:28Beverly brought up something really good

42:30earlier when we were talking when we

42:31were studying some more and she said

42:35harden in this text right here meant

42:39that God strengthened and fortified

42:42something someone in this case Pharaoh

42:45in the path that he had already chosen.

42:47And God does that with everybody.

42:50God can strengthen or fortify something

42:53that is already in you.

42:55>> Yes, that's it right there.

42:57>> So, God confirmed what was already in

42:59Pharaoh's heart.

43:00>> Are y'all following me?

43:02>> God confirmed what was already in

43:04Pharaoh's heart.

43:06>> Yeah. Yeah.

43:07>> Pharaoh was prideful.

43:09>> He was arrogant. He was stubborn.

43:12>> He was rebellious.

43:16>> And he said, "I'm going to reveal what's

43:18in your heart." That is the same thing

43:19that God does with us.

43:22He reveals what's in our heart. Because

43:24sometimes, y'all, what's in our heart is

43:26what blocks us with a lot of the

43:29blessings that God already has

43:30pre-written for us. We're so

43:33traumatized.

43:35We're too prideful to forgive someone.

43:38We got hardened hearts towards people

43:39who did us wrong. We have hearts of

43:42bitterness and resentment. We have

43:44hearts of anger.

43:46We have these things that are still

43:48sitting in our heart. And God has this

43:50blessing that's for you. He has a

43:52blessing that's prepared for you. The

43:54plan that was already written, but he

43:56can't give it to you because of what's

43:57in your heart. If he gives it to you,

44:00you're going to destroy it.

44:01>> Yep.

44:02>> If he gives it to you, you're going to

44:04mess it up. The same way Pharaoh, who

44:07had a prideful heart, who was stubborn,

44:11he would not let those people go. He

44:12wouldn't even acknowledge God, the God

44:14of truth. He wouldn't acknowledge his

44:16wonders. No, none of that.

44:18Too prideful. Had he had done that, they

44:21probably would have went through all the

44:22plagues that they did. He wouldn't have

44:24lost all the people, all his people that

44:26he did. But he was too prideful.

44:29Very similar to us. We call out to God.

44:31We pray for things. We want these

44:33things. God, I I need this right now. I

44:35I want this. Can I have this? And God

44:37says, "Well, I have it for you.

44:40It's already yours cuz I made that

44:42promise. But if I give it to you right

44:45now, you may just destroy it.

44:48What's in your heart?

44:51Billy, come in whenever you want to.

44:53>> Okay.

44:54>> So, what happens is we see God's

44:56presence right here, right? We see God's

44:58presence and the truth is being revealed

44:59to Pharaoh. It's been revealed numbers

45:01of times. Okay? By the way, okay,

45:04depending on your heart condition,

45:07>> it may provoke a different response,

45:09though. That's how God's presence and

45:11his truth is. God's presence and his

45:13truth provoke different responses

45:15depending on your heart condition,

45:17depending on the condition of your

45:19heart. God revealed himself once again.

45:21He revealed himself.

45:25And you know how Pharaoh responded?

45:28Pharaoh responded based on what was

45:30already in his heart. So I ask you all,

45:32when God reveals himself to you, how do

45:35you respond?

45:37>> When God tells you, I want you to

45:40forgive this person. How do you respond?

45:42Do you respond with pride?

45:45I want you to go do this today. I want

45:48you to let this go. I want you to

45:50release this. How do you respond? You

45:52respond based on what's already in your

45:54heart.

45:57The issue is not the seed. It's not the

46:00word. It's not the seed. It's not God.

46:02It's not the truth. It's the soul.

46:06>> It's the soul which is your heart.

46:08>> Yes.

46:09>> Okay. You know, when when the the word

46:11says uh I think it's in Psalm, created

46:13me a clean heart.

46:14>> Yeah.

46:14>> A lot of people really they'll say that

46:16not really understanding what that

46:18means.

46:20>> We want God to fully analyze and assess

46:22what's in our heart. And to create in me

46:25a clean heart means that you will be

46:26releasing and surrendering what's in

46:28your heart. But a lot of things that

46:30have been registered in our heart is

46:32something that we use to protect

46:32ourselves. And we don't realize that

46:34that's what's creating a bit of a burden

46:36and a barrier for what God has for us.

46:39It says, "Create in me a clean heart, oh

46:42God, and renew a right spirit within

46:45me." And renew a right spirit within me.

46:50Right. Are y'all familiar um with the

46:54parable um what was it of the farmer?

46:57What was it? The farmer. What was it?

46:59>> Yeah, it was the So, it was the parable

47:01of the

47:05farmer, y'all. I can't think. Let me

47:07see. Um, let me go to it.

47:11Yes, the farmer scattering the seed. I

47:13don't know why I'm drawing these these

47:14blanks today. Are y'all familiar with

47:16that

47:17>> in Luke?

47:17>> If not, it's okay. Go to Luke 8. We

47:20going we going to flip in the Bible

47:21really quickly. Go to Luke 8. Let's talk

47:22about that for a second. Let's let's

47:24really talk about this for a second

47:27>> because this is talking about your heart

47:29posture. And it's very important to

47:31understand that heart posture, which is

47:33what Kitty is talking about, is the most

47:35important thing that you need to pay

47:37attention to because your heart posture

47:41matters in every single area of your

47:45life. If your heart is not right,

47:48whether it's your finances, whether it's

47:50in the waiting season, whether it's in

47:51relationships, whether it's in

47:53friendships, whether it's in your

47:54relationship with your heavenly father,

47:56if your heart posture is not right, it's

48:00going to it's going to create chaos no

48:03matter what area it is. So, what she's

48:05about to talk about is very important

48:07and it's going to break down why your

48:08heart posture is what you need to focus

48:11on. Because sometimes we don't even

48:12realize that our heart posture is in a

48:15hardened place. And that's the thing. We

48:17think that no, we're good. God, I love

48:20you. You can trust me. Oh, I'm going to

48:22do. But God knows us way better than we

48:24know ourselves. And the Holy Spirit will

48:27reveal that our heart posture not

48:29necessarily is in the right place. We're

48:31in a waiting season, right? God says, "I

48:33need you to wait right here and I need

48:35you to work and do things and minister."

48:37And you're like, "Okay, God, I'mma do

48:39But deep in your heart, you're

48:40constantly like, "Man, I want to get out

48:41this season. Man, I'm tired of this.

48:43Lord, when is it going to change? When

48:45what is your heart posture?" Your heart

48:47posture should be, "Okay, Lord, what are

48:49you teaching me in this season season?

48:52How can I be better in this season? If

48:54you have me here and I'm going through a

48:56challenge, Lord, show me how to endure.

48:58Show me how to patiently get through

49:00this." And so, that's what heart posture

49:02is all about. Go ahead. Get

49:05>> Yes. Okay. Come on, Beisha. Okay, so

49:09we're going to read uh because this is

49:12one of our supporting scriptures. It's

49:13going We're going to read Luke 8,

49:14chapter 8, verses 4

49:18through

49:2215. Yeah. Verses 4-15.

49:25>> That's going to be our supporting

49:26scripture. So all of us experience the

49:30same God.

49:32Throughout scripture, we see a pattern.

49:36God reveals himself and people respond

49:39based on what's already in their heart.

49:40How do we see Pharaoh respond? Pharaoh

49:43had a hardened heart. He had a stubborn

49:45heart. So, how did he respond? How did

49:48he respond? Because of his heart and

49:50heart. How did he respond? Anybody who

49:52has a hardened heart, that's why we ask

49:54God to soften our heart. That's the

49:55reason why we forgive and why we pray

49:57because it softens our heart. That's the

50:00reason why God tells us that and

50:01continue to bring our cares to him and

50:02continue to bring our emotions and

50:04everything else. Pharaoh had a hardened

50:06heart. So what was what was the what

50:08happened because of that? He had a

50:10hardened heart that was revealed and we

50:12got to see that he was prideful. He was

50:15rebellious and he was resistant. Right?

50:18Moses had a very humble heart.

50:23Moses had a humble heart. Do we do y'all

50:25remember the story of Moses?

50:27Y'all remember the story of Moses? He

50:29was able to be raised

50:31in the in the royal home. he was able to

50:34be raised with them. And then he goes

50:36and he he sees some people getting beat

50:38on. He see his people getting beat on.

50:40And then um they find out Pharaoh finds

50:43out was an order out to kill him. He

50:45runs. This is the same person who was

50:47raised royal by the way. He was living

50:49good. He runs.

50:53Then he goes and the woman that he

50:56decides to get married to, the woman

50:58that finds him, his we're just going to

51:00say his father-in-law cuz I don't forgot

51:01the man's name. I don't know why I can

51:03never remember his name, but he ends up

51:04allowing him to be in his home and then

51:07he becomes a shepherd and what is that

51:09about 40 years y'all?

51:11About 40 years. Jethro, that's what it

51:13was. Oh, we were right earlier.

51:15>> We were right. Okay, we was right. We

51:17wasn't sure, but we was right. Okay,

51:18cool, cool, cool.

51:20>> Yeah, I couldn't remember y'all. And so,

51:22and so Moses went from being royal to

51:24having to be in the field to being a

51:26shepherd.

51:29He was humble.

51:31He like, "Look, I I didn't already went

51:33through life. I'm humble." He was humble

51:36because he had a humble heart. That made

51:39it even it made it easier for him to

51:41eventually surrender to God. He had a

51:43humble heart. So with his humble heart,

51:47he felt fear. He was able to ask God

51:50questions and he was able to surrender.

51:53Same God.

51:56The same God. God revealed himself.

51:58Miraculous powers. Moses got to see a

52:00burning bush that wasn't the bush wasn't

52:02burned up. He's like, "Why? What's

52:03happening with this bush? It's a fire,

52:04but it's not it's not burning." He got

52:08to see the same miraculous God, but his

52:11heart was different from Moses. I mean,

52:14from Pharaoh. Sorry. Moses's heart was

52:16different from Pharaoh. We see the same

52:18thing when it comes to David. Same exact

52:21thing. We saw the same thing when it

52:24came to from Judas and Peter.

52:27God reveals himself and his power, but

52:30it's what's in your heart. It's not God

52:33who changes. It's the heart that

52:35determines how the truth is received.

52:38Let me say that one more time.

52:40>> It is the heart that determines how God

52:43is received. It is the heart that

52:45determines how God's works are deceive

52:47are received. It is the heart that

52:49determines how the truth is received.

52:55Let's read this parable real quick. One

52:57day Jesus told a story in a form of a

52:59parable to a large crowd that had

53:01gathered from many towns to hear him.

53:04Verse 5. A farmer went out to plant his

53:06seed. As he scattered it across his

53:08field, some seed fell on a foot path

53:12where it was stepped on and the birds

53:14ate it. Other seed fell among rocks. It

53:19began to grow, but the plants soon

53:21wilted and died for lack of moisture.

53:24Other seed fell among thorns that grew

53:27up with it and choked out the tender

53:30plants. Still, other seed fell on

53:33fertile soil, healthy soil. This seed

53:37grew and produced a crop that was 100

53:39times as much as had been planted. When

53:42he had said this, he called out, "Anyone

53:44with ears to hear should listen and

53:47understand." And I'm reading in NLT, so

53:48y'all probably are reading it a

53:50different way. Okay. His disciples asked

53:53him what this parable meant. He replies,

53:55"You are permitted to understand the

53:57secrets of the kingdom of God, but I use

54:00parables to teach the others so that the

54:02scriptures might be fulfilled. When they

54:04look, they won't really see. When they

54:07hear, they won't understand." This is

54:10the meaning of the parable. The seed is

54:12God's word.

54:15The seed is God's word. The seeds that

54:17fell on the footpath represent those who

54:19hear the message only to have the devil

54:22come and take it away from their hearts

54:24and prevent them from believing and

54:26being saved.

54:28My God, I love this parable. The seeds

54:30on the rocky soil represent those who

54:32hear the message and receive it with

54:34joy. But since they don't have deep

54:36roots, they believe for a while, then

54:39they fall away when they face

54:41temptation.

54:43The seeds that fell among the thorns

54:45represent those who hear the message,

54:47but all too quickly the message is

54:49crowded out by the cares and riches and

54:51pleasures of his life, of this life. And

54:55so they never grow into maturity. And

54:58the seeds that fell on the good soil

55:00represent honest, good-hearted people

55:02who hear God's word, cling to it, and

55:04patiently produce a huge harvest.

55:09>> My God on today.

55:11my God on today.

55:15Jesus describes four types of soil.

55:20Four types of soil.

55:23>> NLT.

55:23>> He reveals the hearts of people.

55:25>> Chapter eight, guys.

55:27>> He reveals four kinds of soul. He

55:30reveals the hearts of people. The

55:33different hearts is what he truly

55:36reveals.

55:38What we see in verse 5 and 12, the

55:40hardened that path, that foot path that

55:42he was talking about, that's when the

55:43word is rejected. That was Pharaoh

55:47hardened by pride.

55:50Some of y'all are your hearts are

55:51hardened by hurt.

55:54Some of y'all your hearts are hardened

55:55by skepticism.

55:57Some of y'all are just extremely busy

56:00and your hearts are hardened by

56:02distractions and business.

56:04M m.

56:05>> So the word here, the seed, the word,

56:09the seed never was able to enter the

56:12soil on this foot pad and it allowed the

56:16enemy, it allowed the enemy to

56:17intercept. Sorry.

56:20For instance, people who get on Tik Tok

56:23and YouTube

56:25>> and Instagram

56:27>> and they watch the sermons or they

56:29scroll the sermons and they never

56:31engage. They never engage deeply.

56:34>> Yeah.

56:35>> Because their hearts are hardened.

56:37>> Pharaoh. Right. And then in verses 6 and

56:3913, he highlights the shallow rocky

56:44the shallow hearts.

56:46The shallow soil. The rocky soil. The

56:49people with temporary faith.

56:52As soon as things get hard, as soon as a

56:54test comes their way, they fall.

56:57Or the people who are just

56:58emotionalists. They're not receiving a

57:01word. They just get excited because it

57:02feels good.

57:05The people who are naive to the people

57:06who are trying to deconstruct because of

57:08their own hard and hearts, the people

57:10who follow them.

57:13That's the same as somebody who goes

57:14into a church. They go to a conference

57:16and stuff like that. They say, "I want

57:17to get saved. I want to get baptized."

57:19>> Yeah.

57:20>> And they walk away as soon as life gets

57:22a little hard. They walk away from God

57:23as soon as life gets a little hard. The

57:25shallow parts. Right.

57:28Right. I want y'all to think of that. I

57:30I want y'all to think of that um how

57:32rocks are I don't know if any of you all

57:33have ever seen rocks when they're mixed

57:35up with like grass and stuff and all

57:36that and that one spot you can't see

57:38like the plants that actually grow and

57:40if they do they turn brown they wilt

57:42very easily. I want y'all to think of

57:44that. Okay, let's talk about the

57:46distracted hearts. Let's talk about the

57:47distracted hearts. The thorny soil

57:52choked by cares. I don't know if y'all

57:54have ever seen a whole bunch of thorns

57:56and stuff. I was telling Beverly, I

57:57said, "At my old house, there was a

57:59patch of grass and which I thought was

58:01funny. There was a patch of grass and

58:02when we went over there, it it just

58:03would never grow. It was just tangled

58:05with a whole bunch of stuff." And we had

58:07to literally go in there, pull cuz it

58:09was just it was thorny. It was a whole

58:11bunch of thorns and everything else. It

58:12was just tangled. And we had to pull it

58:14and cut all that, go back in, break down

58:17the dirt, and then the grass started

58:19growing through the months and the patch

58:22had cleared. So in verses 7 and 14 of

58:26this parable, the people who are choked

58:28by cares,

58:30the word grows but it can't mature

58:32because they are distracted.

58:35Your anxiety,

58:38chasing materialist stuff, this

58:40material, this materialistic way of

58:41thinking,

58:43>> lust,

58:45lustful desires, worldly desires and

58:48it's suffocating you and you cannot

58:50mature spiritually.

58:53That's the same as the people who say,

58:54"I I love God. I'm a believer and I love

58:57God, but I love the world and I love my

59:00image and I love my status and I I love

59:03the comfort of being what and do of

59:04doing what I want to do.

59:07I love all this. I don't want to get

59:08that deep, but I love God, but I love

59:10success, too. It's in your heart. It's

59:15in your heart." And then we have verses

59:178 through 15 that shows the good soil.

59:21The believer who receives.

59:23>> Yes.

59:24>> They grow

59:27and they multiply.

59:29>> They retain the word of God and they

59:33apply it. The believer who constantly

59:36obeys God even when it's hard, even when

59:40the world criticizes them, it's

59:42unpopular,

59:44even if it goes unnoticed, they do it

59:46because they love and fear the Lord.

59:49Same seed.

59:51Same seed,

59:53>> different results. The issue was never

59:57the seed. It was never the word. It's

59:59the soil. So when God's truth is

1:00:01revealed to all of us, it's not the word

1:00:04of God or the truth of God or God

1:00:05revealing himself that's the problem.

1:00:07What's our heart? What's the condition

1:00:09of our heart?

1:00:13>> There are so many people who pray for so

1:00:15much. And it's not that God can't give

1:00:17you give it to you and it's not that he

1:00:18don't even want to give it to you if it

1:00:19aligns with him.

1:00:20>> It's not that he doesn't want to. But

1:00:23man, if you praying for this amazing

1:00:25spouse, this amazing husband or wife,

1:00:28you praying for this person, but you

1:00:29still haven't forgiven your ex who did

1:00:31you wrong. H

1:00:33>> can't imagine if I gave you that kind of

1:00:35person.

1:00:35>> Yes.

1:00:36>> You you you praying for a child. You

1:00:38want to carry this child, but you won't

1:00:41release that trauma.

1:00:42>> That's good. That's good.

1:00:45You praying for this person to see you

1:00:47as a human and forgive you,

1:00:50but you won't forgive that person who

1:00:52who lied on you, who hurt you, who did

1:00:55something against you, you won't do it.

1:00:58>> Mhm.

1:01:00>> There's a barrier that's right there.

1:01:03because of the condition of your heart.

1:01:08Pharaoh saw God's power

1:01:12and you know what? He dug deeper into

1:01:14his rebellion.

1:01:18Moses encountered the exa the same God

1:01:22who revealed his miraculous power.

1:01:26He wrestled at first a little bit. He he

1:01:28wasn't, you know, but then he

1:01:30surrendered.

1:01:33It was the heart of each one of those

1:01:36individuals.

1:01:37Okay.

1:01:39It was the heart

1:01:41of each one of those. And I can speak

1:01:44for myself when I say this. I the the

1:01:46reason why a lot of y'all I hear and I

1:01:48see a lot of the things that y'all say,

1:01:50the beautiful things y'all say about me.

1:01:52Had I had not fully surrendered to God

1:01:55and when God told me to forgive certain

1:01:56people, had I had not stayed at the foot

1:01:58of God and at his face, casting my cares

1:02:02on him, had I not have surrendered and

1:02:05said, "God, I'm still angry." Had I not

1:02:08have surrendered that bitterness and

1:02:09that resentment, there's no way I would

1:02:12be here.

1:02:14No way that I would actually be here.

1:02:18I would have blocked the blessings that

1:02:19God had for me.

1:02:22And that's what a lot of people do.

1:02:26Your heart condition a lot of times is

1:02:28going to determine the response to God.

1:02:33>> That's going to determine the response

1:02:35that you give to God.

1:02:38>> And a lot of people respond differently.

1:02:40So I I want you all to really think

1:02:42about it like what is the condition of

1:02:44your heart? What's the posture of your

1:02:46heart? What type of soil do you actually

1:02:48have? So when God plants the seed,

1:02:51what's gonna happen with it?

1:02:53>> You got one foot in the word and one

1:02:54foot in the world, are you too

1:02:56distracted? Are you too busy?

1:02:59>> Are you only going to church just so you

1:03:01can get a little bit of a dopamine

1:03:03little jump?

1:03:05Are you only doing things for the

1:03:06emotions? Are you really fully

1:03:08surrendered to God and being truly

1:03:10obedient to God? Because sometimes your

1:03:13heart position is what causes you to

1:03:14reject God. And you don't even realize a

1:03:16lot of times you rejecting him. the

1:03:18pride that is still in you. You say,

1:03:20"I'm never gonna forgive them.

1:03:22I don't care.

1:03:24I'm too hurt. I'm in too much pain. I I

1:03:27done endured too much trauma." It is

1:03:29what it is.

1:03:34>> You may not realize that you have been

1:03:37rejecting God.

1:03:40M

1:03:41>> or maybe you received the word of God,

1:03:43but then you you fell away

1:03:47>> because life got a little too hard for

1:03:48you. Maybe it was because you were too

1:03:50distracted. But some people actually

1:03:52bear the fruit. When you look at those

1:03:54people like how it's because they fully

1:03:56surrendered and they they really did

1:03:58truly take God cleaning their heart

1:04:02serious.

1:04:04They took that serious.

1:04:09What God did with Pharaoh is he took

1:04:11what was already in Pharaoh's heart and

1:04:13he fortified it. He said, "Rellion's

1:04:16already in his heart. Pride is already

1:04:18in his heart. I'mma strengthen that.

1:04:20>> I'mma fortify it. I'm going to reveal

1:04:23it." And he confirmed Pharaoh's hardness

1:04:26for God's purpose.

1:04:29And that sometimes is what God does with

1:04:30us as well. He sees what's in our heart

1:04:33when he scans and analyzes it. And he

1:04:35said, "Okay, I'mma fortify that. I'mma

1:04:37make this stronger." And you going to

1:04:39see what's actually in your heart.

1:04:43You going to see what's actually in your

1:04:45heart. We have the same pattern.

1:04:48So I my question is to you all when you

1:04:50when you hear the truth of God,

1:04:54is that truth meeting bitterness in your

1:04:56heart, is the truth of God, God's truth,

1:04:59is it meeting skepticism? Is it meeting

1:05:02the trauma that's in your heart? Are you

1:05:04too traumatized to receive it? Are you

1:05:06too bitter to receive it? Are you too

1:05:08skeptical to receive it? Are you too

1:05:11angry? Are you too prideful to truly

1:05:13receive it? I'm not talking about you

1:05:14get the word and then you gone on and go

1:05:16live back in the world. I ain't not

1:05:18talking about that. I'm not talking

1:05:18about you you see a sermon and say, "Oh,

1:05:20that was good." And you go back and slip

1:05:22into your ways. I'm not talking about

1:05:23that. Is there something in your heart

1:05:28that's not allowing you to fully receive

1:05:30God in the seed and the word of God,

1:05:33what he actually has for you?

1:05:37I've seen a lot of people who get

1:05:38extremely excited about faith, but as

1:05:42soon as it get hard, they they abandon

1:05:43it.

1:05:45As soon as it gets a little shaky, they

1:05:47abandon it. I've seen people, they know

1:05:51the word of God, but success is at their

1:05:53doorstep.

1:05:55Money is what they're more focused on

1:05:58than God.

1:06:01I'm seeing a lot of that today. They're

1:06:03choked up by anxiety. So they they can't

1:06:05fully receive.

1:06:09And I see the people who are faithful,

1:06:12who have fully surrendered.

1:06:14They have prayed for God to soften their

1:06:16heart and to clean their heart and they

1:06:18are rooted in trusting God

1:06:21and they yield fruit. I've seen it.

1:06:24>> Yeah. Yeah. Now I want to say this that

1:06:27the presence of that resistance does not

1:06:29mean that you are out of God's will. Not

1:06:31I'm not trying to say that. doesn't mean

1:06:32that you're out of God's will.

1:06:35What it does mean though, whenever you

1:06:38feel the resistance, the same way that

1:06:39Moses and and Aaron felt that resistance

1:06:41when it came to Pharaoh, what I will

1:06:43say, when you feel that resistance,

1:06:45sometimes it is really God beginning to

1:06:47fully shake up that grip that the enemy

1:06:50has on you.

1:06:51>> Yep. That's good.

1:06:52>> And when God and and he'll reveal the

1:06:54true state of your heart, you'll feel

1:06:56some resistance. And it's very easy when

1:06:57we feel resistance to just blame it on

1:06:58the enemy. All done. that ain't nothing

1:07:00but the devil.

1:07:03>> Sometimes the resistance that you're

1:07:05feeling is because God has fully exposed

1:07:06the true state of your heart.

1:07:09Now granted, the enemy had a grip on you

1:07:11about what was in your heart because a

1:07:13lot of times we're not carrying the

1:07:14fruit of the spirit.

1:07:16We're impatient.

1:07:18We're unkind.

1:07:20[Music]

1:07:22>> Yeah. Yeah.

1:07:23>> And that's why we have to pray for God

1:07:25to clean our heart so we don't end up

1:07:27like Pharaoh.

1:07:28>> Yeah. I actually want to jump in because

1:07:30I've seen someone post asked this

1:07:32question and I think giving practical

1:07:34steps would be good. Someone said, "How

1:07:36do I fix my heart posture?" Right? I

1:07:38think that's a really phenomenal

1:07:40question because yes, we know it's about

1:07:42heart posture, but if we want to get

1:07:44closer to God, how do we do that? Right?

1:07:46So, fixing your heart posture toward

1:07:48God, first it requires surrender, right?

1:07:51You have to surrender it all and mainly

1:07:54your why. A lot of times our heart can

1:07:57be hardened or we may feel a certain way

1:07:59because we often want to say, "Well,

1:08:00God, why?" Like instead of just like

1:08:03doing what God says, we want to put

1:08:05ourselves in the driver's seat and we

1:08:07want to do it, right? So really

1:08:09surrender that why and just say, "You

1:08:11know what, God? I'm just going to let

1:08:12you do it. I may not understand at this

1:08:15very moment why you're telling me to do

1:08:16something, but I'm going to surrender

1:08:18that to you." The other thing is repent

1:08:21where your heart has been hardened.

1:08:23really ask the Holy Spirit like, "Lord,

1:08:27show me where I've been disappointed.

1:08:28Show me where I've been hurt. Show me

1:08:30where I still have pride. Show me where

1:08:32I still have unforgiveness. Show me

1:08:34where I still have fear." And allow the

1:08:36Holy Spirit to really come in and do a

1:08:39work in your heart. When you repent and

1:08:42you say, "God, I'm open to you showing

1:08:44me things and you fixing these things,"

1:08:46he will come in and he will begin to

1:08:49speak with you and he will begin to show

1:08:50you what is wrong. And you will

1:08:52literally, and I can testify to this,

1:08:54start to feel weightlifted and start to

1:08:56see things shift where you start to see

1:08:59things in a different way. That person

1:09:01like Kitty was talking about that you

1:09:02may feel like, I'm not, I don't want to

1:09:04forgive them. You'll start to then have

1:09:06a revelation say, wait a minute, but I

1:09:08have hurt God so many times and he has

1:09:10forgiven me. How could I not forgive

1:09:12this person even though they hurt me so

1:09:14badly? So just repent and allow God to

1:09:17do that. And then gratitude. Gratitude

1:09:20is literally one of the best ways to

1:09:23shift your heart posture. Begin to be

1:09:25thankful for the smallest things like

1:09:27that breath. God doesn't owe you that

1:09:29breath that's in your body right now.

1:09:31You don't have to be breathing. He

1:09:32didn't have to wake you up. But guess

1:09:34what? He did. When you start to look at

1:09:36the very smallest things like, "Hey, I

1:09:38can walk." There are people who cannot

1:09:40walk. There are people who cannot see.

1:09:42There are people who cannot move their

1:09:44fingers. There are people who cannot do

1:09:45the smallest things that you can do. So

1:09:47when you begin to have just gratitude

1:09:50and you look at it like you know what

1:09:51God thank you. Thank you for you. I

1:09:54don't have to figure out life. So

1:09:57gratitude is also going to shift your

1:09:59heart posture and allow you to start to

1:10:02look at things in just a different

1:10:05light. And then when you think about

1:10:08life, right? Like you're like okay I'm

1:10:10shifting my heart towards God. I'm

1:10:12releasing this heart posture. But what

1:10:14about everyday life? Right? One of the

1:10:16ways to shift your heart posture when it

1:10:18comes to life is release unrealistic

1:10:21expectations. Like disappointment can

1:10:25really really have us in a place of just

1:10:27like this expectation that is not even

1:10:32realistic. If you release those and you

1:10:34just allow God to do the work and allow

1:10:37God to just show you how to do things

1:10:39step by step and you will just become a

1:10:41willing servant and you're like, God,

1:10:43you know what? Here it is, God. I'm just

1:10:45going to do what you allow me to do.

1:10:47That's going to help shape your heart

1:10:49heart posture and fix it. And then start

1:10:52seeing stuff as training instead of

1:10:55punishment. We go through trials. We go

1:10:57through all of these things. And this is

1:10:59I'm speaking to myself because I can

1:11:01definitely be like, man, God, like, why

1:11:03am I doing doing this? And I remember

1:11:05Kitty said something so powerful. She

1:11:07was like, don't say why, guys. God, say

1:11:10what's next. So look at it as training.

1:11:13like, "Okay, God, this is a trial I'm

1:11:15enduring. What is it that you want me to

1:11:18learn from it? And where do I go next

1:11:19from it?" So, those are just some ways

1:11:21that you can start to fix your heart

1:11:24posture.

1:11:28>> Sorry, I just thought that question.

1:11:32>> Oh, no, no, no. That was that was that

1:11:34was just what I wanted to share about

1:11:36the heart posture. But I do want to I

1:11:37guess I'll go ahead and and share the

1:11:39revelation that God gave me like right

1:11:41and right now since I was like um

1:11:44talking about that. But that's how you

1:11:46fix your heart posture. But while we're

1:11:47talking about heart posture, one of the

1:11:49things that the Lord also revealed to me

1:11:50that I want to share, right? We see that

1:11:53>> Pharaoh's heart was hardened, right? But

1:11:56what if Pharaoh would have had a soft

1:11:58heart, right? God is big. He's almighty.

1:12:01He's bigger than anything. God can do

1:12:03anything, right? And we could be like,

1:12:04"Well, God, why didn't you just soften

1:12:07uh Pharaoh's heart? Like, why didn't you

1:12:09just like let him be easy? Let him be

1:12:12cool." But he tells us this literally in

1:12:15the verse. He says, "But I will make

1:12:17Pharaoh's heart stubborn." Why is he

1:12:20going to make it stubborn? So I can

1:12:23multiply my miraculous signs and wonders

1:12:26in the land of Egypt. If God would have

1:12:31allowed Pharaoh's heart to be soft,

1:12:34Israel could have just walked out

1:12:35quietly, right? But if they would have

1:12:37walked out quietly, they would have

1:12:39never known God as their deliverer. So

1:12:41look at it as this. God allows the

1:12:44hardness that we face to pull us out of

1:12:47comforts that we would have settled for,

1:12:49right? So we can know him as a

1:12:50deliverer. And one of the things, and

1:12:52I'm speaking to people because I'm I was

1:12:54right there with you guys, especially

1:12:56people who have lost their jobs. God

1:12:58allowed the hardness of me to be fired

1:13:01from a job that I would have settled at.

1:13:03I was there for eight years. I was like,

1:13:06I'm just going to move up the ladder.

1:13:07I'm going to go ahead and just be in

1:13:09corporate. And God had been calling me,

1:13:11I want you to leave. I want you to

1:13:12leave. So, he allowed the hardness of me

1:13:15being fired because it put me in this

1:13:17uncomfortable place. But it made me

1:13:20realize that it was only God who did it

1:13:22because he birthed something out of me

1:13:24that I would have never birthed myself.

1:13:27He birthed a vision. He birthe a

1:13:29business. He shifted me from a worker

1:13:31and said, "You are going to be a

1:13:33business owner. You are going to be an

1:13:34entrepreneur." Something I never could

1:13:36have done with God. And so, understand

1:13:39it may look really, really hard. It may

1:13:41look really, really like God like why

1:13:44are you allowing this hardness? Just let

1:13:45it be easy. But we our destiny is never

1:13:48easy to get to. It has to give God the

1:13:51glory. You have to depend on him. You

1:13:53have to go to him. So he allowed him to

1:13:56have that hard heart because Israel had

1:13:59to depend on God as their deliverer.

1:14:01They had to know he was that deliverer.

1:14:03And so when God was giving me that

1:14:04revelation, I just want y'all to sit

1:14:06with it. Like he's allowing this

1:14:08hardness. He's allowing people to

1:14:10disagree with you. He's allowing people

1:14:12to show their, you know, ways and just

1:14:15maybe give you a hard time for a reason

1:14:17because he's going to show you that he's

1:14:19God. He's the deliverer. He's going to

1:14:21be the one to bring you up out of it.

1:14:23and something is going to be great on

1:14:26the other side. So, yeah, that was

1:14:28>> that's good. Come on, Beverisha. That's

1:14:31good. I want to uh before we continue,

1:14:33we're almost done, y'all. Uh somebody

1:14:35asked uh I I saw the message while ago.

1:14:37Somebody said that they have prayed for

1:14:40a clean heart or something like that and

1:14:41they're still oppressed. Um, and I want

1:14:44to make sure that we understand as God

1:14:46takes us through that that purification

1:14:48process when he cleans our heart and

1:14:49things like that, we're not exempt from

1:14:52actually going through oppression.

1:14:53That's something that's external. And

1:14:55the oppression is is that's a tactic

1:14:57that the enemy has. He wants to isolate

1:15:00you because many times when people feel

1:15:01oppressed, they become they feel

1:15:02isolated or they become isolated. That's

1:15:04what the enemy wants. You're going to go

1:15:06through a warfare because now you're

1:15:08about to fulfill your purpose. When God

1:15:10comes in and does the cleaning and

1:15:12cleans up shop like he needs to and you

1:15:14start walking in that calling and

1:15:16fulfilling the purpose that God has for

1:15:18you and fulfilling the plan that he has

1:15:19for you, the enemy is going to be upset

1:15:21about that. So, you're going to feel the

1:15:24enemy trying to wage war against you.

1:15:26But he wants to isolate you. And that's

1:15:28the reason why we say stay in

1:15:30fellowship. Stay around other people.

1:15:31Stay with people who can intercede for

1:15:33you, who can pray for you, who can

1:15:34minister to you, who you can fellowship

1:15:36with. Because that's a tactic of the

1:15:38enemy. So, I'm not saying that. Of

1:15:40course, when God cleans your heart,

1:15:41you're going to feel some type of

1:15:43warfare and oppression because the enemy

1:15:45hates that. You're about to fulfill a

1:15:46purpose. We all know that. Thank God for

1:15:49exposing, like we talked before, thank

1:15:50God for exposing the tactics of the

1:15:52enemy. When you give God your yes, you

1:15:54going to see the tactics. They're going

1:15:56to be revealed right in your face. Thank

1:15:57God because now you'll know how to fight

1:15:59it and how to fight it off. But, so,

1:16:01we're not exempt from feeling that

1:16:03oppression. However, what God has for

1:16:05you, sometimes it can be you that stands

1:16:07in the way of that. Sometimes it can

1:16:09simply be you. Now, to to keep going cuz

1:16:13I want to I hope that answered I forgot

1:16:14whose question um that was, but

1:16:17hopefully that helped somebody there.

1:16:20But God still has a plan for us regard

1:16:22regardless regardless of the resistance

1:16:23that we feel. Despite Pharaoh's

1:16:25resistance, God still had a plan. Okay?

1:16:30God is sovereign. He reigns over

1:16:32everything and he is not threatened by

1:16:34any rebellious or prideful spirit. He's

1:16:36not threatened by none of that. Okay?

1:16:39The swer is going to continue to keep

1:16:41sewing.

1:16:42Okay? The swer is going to continue to

1:16:45keep sewing.

1:16:47But the fruit that we want is going to

1:16:49come from the soil that we have. That's

1:16:51why I said we have to clean our hearts

1:16:53so we don't end up making the same

1:16:54mistake that Pharaoh made. What Pharaoh

1:16:57did, his rebellion in his heart created

1:16:59a lot of problems. The same thing as

1:17:00Satan. Satan was prideful and

1:17:01rebellious. That's why he got kicked up

1:17:03out of there.

1:17:04>> He's so prideful. He won't repent. He

1:17:06can't repent because of his pride. He

1:17:08can't repent.

1:17:10We have the option to do so. We have the

1:17:12option to come to God and say, "God, can

1:17:14you cleanse my heart, please?

1:17:16Can you restore me? Please, because you

1:17:19want fertile soil." So, whatever God

1:17:22blesses you with, the seed that he that

1:17:24he sws, whatever he blesses you with, it

1:17:26will blossom. It will be fruitful.

1:17:28That's what you want. All right? Because

1:17:30you don't want to face that same pride

1:17:32that Pharaoh did. Okay? So, when God is

1:17:36speaking to you all, this is something I

1:17:37want y'all to really deeply reflect on.

1:17:38When God is speaking to you, how is your

1:17:40heart responding?

1:17:44Cuz if you have a prideful heart, no

1:17:46matter what the conviction is, you going

1:17:49you're going to deflect it. You gonna be

1:17:50like, you're going to deflect it if you

1:17:54have a prideful heart. If you have a

1:17:57trauma that you're dealing with, if you

1:18:00have a wounded heart, when God comes to

1:18:03you with that truth, you going to resist

1:18:04it at first.

1:18:07But it can be softened, but you going to

1:18:09resist it at first.

1:18:11Mhm.

1:18:13But when you have a humble, surrendered

1:18:17heart,

1:18:19when you feel a conviction and that

1:18:21correction, you'll receive it. You'll

1:18:23receive the healing that God has for

1:18:24you. You'll receive the direction, the

1:18:28clarity, the peace that God has for you.

1:18:30You'll receive it.

1:18:33But if you have an anxious heart, it's

1:18:34going to be hard for you to receive that

1:18:37pride of heart, a heart that's chasing

1:18:39lust or chasing status material, it's

1:18:42going to be really hard for you to fully

1:18:45receive God because you're going to

1:18:46deflect.

1:18:48So, when you look at the four different

1:18:50types of soil, I want you to think about

1:18:52it. You don't have to say it in the

1:18:53chat, but I want you to think about the

1:18:56type of soil that your heart has. What's

1:18:59the type of soil that describes your

1:19:01heart right now in this moment? I want

1:19:04you to think about that. What type of

1:19:06soil is it?

1:19:09Where are these seats falling? Are they

1:19:11falling on the foot pad?

1:19:14Is it thorny? Is it rocky? Where is it

1:19:18at? And if you think of that, if you

1:19:20say, "Well, I'm a little thorny right

1:19:22now, kid. I can't even lie to you. I'm

1:19:23I'm a little there." So, then I want you

1:19:25to think about what are the thorns and

1:19:27the rocks that you need to uproot

1:19:31to be able to have fertile soil where

1:19:33you can receive the seed, the word, and

1:19:37the truth that God has for you. My soil

1:19:40has some weeds in it. That's all right.

1:19:41Good thing about the weeds is you can

1:19:43pull them up, right? You can uproot some

1:19:44weeds, right?

1:19:45>> Amen. We can do that, right? So when

1:19:47when you all pray, Lord, create in me a

1:19:50clean heart, I want you to really think

1:19:52about what you're praying for and know

1:19:55exactly what it is that you know I I got

1:19:57to uproot this. I I got to get this

1:20:00together cuz

1:20:01>> I don't want the the the seed that you

1:20:03have, the plant to grow and it starts to

1:20:05wilt because I I it's no moisture. It's

1:20:08rocky. If you have distractions, if you

1:20:11have anxieties, if you have fears, if

1:20:12you have pride, if you have rebellious

1:20:14nature, if you're arrogant, anything

1:20:15like that, I need you to go take that to

1:20:17God so you don't end up doing the same

1:20:20thing that Pharaoh did. And y'all know I

1:20:23always say it's more than just us.

1:20:26It's more than just us. It's the people

1:20:30down your bloodline as well.

1:20:32>> Okay? So,

1:20:35>> I want y'all to really think about that.

1:20:37Go back and read the parable. Um Luke 8

1:20:41chapter 4, what is it? Through 15, 16

1:20:43through 15.

1:20:45>> Go back and read that parable. That's

1:20:47our supporting scripture for today. Go

1:20:49back and read over that

1:20:52and really see exactly what's the

1:20:54posture of your heart right now.

1:20:59>> That's good.

1:21:00>> How y'all feeling?

1:21:01>> So good. So good.

1:21:04>> How's everyone feeling?

1:21:06>> And remember the Oh, I'm sorry. All

1:21:08right, I meant to tell y'all Psalm

1:21:0951:10. Sorry about that.

1:21:12Psalm 51:10.

1:21:16Create in me a clean heart and renew Oh,

1:21:21I'm sorry, Lord, I forgot to put. Create

1:21:23in me a clean heart, oh God,

1:21:26and renew a right spirit within me.

1:21:30Create in me a clean heart and renew a

1:21:34right spirit within me.

1:21:36Now y'all will understand why you say

1:21:38that prayer. So if y'all have ever cuz

1:21:41sometimes people said it created me a

1:21:42clean heart and they they think it's

1:21:44something completely different.

1:21:47>> Give me a heart transplant. No, we're

1:21:49going to work on this heart that you

1:21:50got.

1:21:54>> We going to work on the one that you

1:21:55got. Some people say created me a clean

1:21:57heart and it's just a couple things that

1:21:59just trying to clean out. No. clean up,

1:22:01shop, and renew

1:22:04a right spirit within me. A right spirit

1:22:08within me. That's Psalm 51:10.

1:22:12Okay. So, now y'all know. Then, of

1:22:14course, y'all will be uh

1:22:17finishing out Exodus. We're going to

1:22:18keep going. Uh go back and review the

1:22:21seven I wills. It was right before

1:22:23chapter 7. It was in uh chapter 6. Go

1:22:25back and reveal and go over the

1:22:28promises. And we going to come back next

1:22:30Tuesday and we got more that we need to

1:22:32go over. Okay.

1:22:34>> What's good?

1:22:36>> That is good. Thank you, Courtney. That

1:22:38is good.

1:22:40>> Yes. In Exodus.

1:22:47>> Cuz remember, we can't always say that

1:22:49ain't nothing but the enemy. and and

1:22:51sometime it a lot of times it do be the

1:22:53enemy but a lot of times it be God

1:22:56saying you know I need to reveal

1:22:58something in you.

1:23:00>> Yeah.

1:23:00>> There are some things that were revealed

1:23:02in my heart that I had no idea was still

1:23:04there.

1:23:04>> Same.

1:23:06>> It was it was some things in my heart I

1:23:07didn't know. At one point I was oh man

1:23:10years ago my mom told me she said you

1:23:13got a little arrogant. This is years

1:23:15ago. This is probably more than four or

1:23:16five years ago. said, "You got a little

1:23:18arrogant and I had some pride in my

1:23:20heart." When I tell y'all God humbled

1:23:22me, not only did he reveal what was in

1:23:24my heart, but he humbled me as well.

1:23:27Mhm. And I thank God that when something

1:23:31happened to me, something really painful

1:23:34happened to me. What I got, me and Billy

1:23:36got a chance to talk about this. What I

1:23:38got a chance to witness was because of

1:23:41my heart and all the work that God had

1:23:44done in me and the way my heart was,

1:23:47what he had for me was for me and the

1:23:50soul that I had, the heart position I

1:23:52had was able to receive it and it was

1:23:55able to grow.

1:23:57But there was somebody against me where

1:24:00God had fortified what was in their

1:24:02heart and they thought that they were

1:24:05going to be able to use that tactic

1:24:06against me. The enemy thought he was

1:24:07going to win, but they met fertile soil

1:24:10when it came to me. You met someone with

1:24:12a clean heart. So although God fortified

1:24:15and let me even allowed me to see what

1:24:18was in their heart, cuz I saw somebody

1:24:19say this a while ago. Somebody asked uh

1:24:21will God harden someone's heart against

1:24:22you, the people who not supposed to be

1:24:24in your life or when they season is up,

1:24:26if anyone has any anger, any envy, any

1:24:29enmity, any hatred towards you, God will

1:24:33fortify what's in their heart and reveal

1:24:34it. So we thank God for revealing that.

1:24:38We thank God for revealing that. And it

1:24:40can hurt us sometime. But that's the

1:24:41reason why we we take our hurts and our

1:24:43pains to God.

1:24:46And for the God, the person who God

1:24:48fortified that envy, that jealousy

1:24:50towards me. He let me see it. But I'm

1:24:54grateful that the heart I had was

1:24:56different cuz I had a heart of

1:24:58surrenderance. I had a heart. I

1:25:00constantly surrendered when I was angry,

1:25:03when I was hurt, when I was frustrated,

1:25:04when I was mad, when I didn't understand

1:25:06why this person did that, I took why is

1:25:08this person lying like this? And every

1:25:10day I had to take that to God crying,

1:25:13face wet every single day. And when God

1:25:16said, "I need you to pray for this

1:25:17person, and I need you to pray for this

1:25:20person again," he didn't meet pride. I

1:25:22said, "Okay." I cried about it. At

1:25:24first, I was like, "Now, all right,

1:25:26Lord. This person going to pray? I I

1:25:28have to." Okay. Okay. And I prayed into

1:25:31the point to where he didn't have to ask

1:25:32me to pray. I prayed for them myself.

1:25:35>> And then when I told my mom, I said,

1:25:36"I'm still angry." And she said, "Baby,

1:25:38you got anger and bitterness and

1:25:40resentment in your heart. You haven't

1:25:41fully forgiven them." And I kept taking

1:25:43that to God. And I kept taking it to God

1:25:46until the point I finally got to the

1:25:47point where I say, "You know what? I

1:25:48pray they repent

1:25:50cuz I want something great to happen in

1:25:52their life. I know they still have to

1:25:53face their consequences for what they

1:25:55did, but I just want them to see the

1:25:57freedom that's on the side of Christ. I

1:25:59want them to understand what it's like

1:26:01to be free.

1:26:03This is freedom. This is freedom to be

1:26:06able to forgive people, to be able to

1:26:09love the people who tried to destroy

1:26:10you. This is freedom because I don't

1:26:13have to live with this this cast over

1:26:15me. We don't have to live with this

1:26:17cast, this trauma, this hurt, this

1:26:19frustration, this anger with people. We

1:26:21don't got to live with that over us. We

1:26:23get to live and say, you know what? I

1:26:24forgave this person. I wake up smiling

1:26:27in the morning. I wake up happy. I wake

1:26:30up in the life that I desired. I

1:26:33couldn't have had this life in this

1:26:34world. I am set free because I'm not

1:26:38angry. I'm not prideful. Like, this is

1:26:41true freedom.

1:26:43>> This is real freedom over here to know

1:26:46that I got a God that I can always cast

1:26:49my cares on.

1:26:51I don't got to always figure it out. I

1:26:53get to take it to God.

1:26:55>> No,

1:26:56>> I'm good.

1:26:57>> That's good. Oh, no. Quick. Real quick.

1:27:00No.

1:27:01>> Forgiveness does not mean

1:27:02reconciliation. I just saw somebody in

1:27:05the uh YouTube comments and says, "Does

1:27:07that mean we have to allow those people

1:27:08in our our spaces?" No, it does not. It

1:27:12means you have to forgive them in your

1:27:13heart. But forgiveness does not mean

1:27:15reconciliation. It does not mean you

1:27:17have to be friends with them. It does

1:27:19not mean you have to have them back in

1:27:21your personal space. No, it means that

1:27:23you have to forgive them from your heart

1:27:25and then allow God to direct you on how

1:27:28to move from there. But no, you don't

1:27:30you don't have to reconcile you. That

1:27:32may not be the desire. That may not be

1:27:34what God has. You can go your separate

1:27:35ways, live your life, but you cannot

1:27:37walk around in bitterness. You cannot

1:27:39walk around in unforgiveness. So, no,

1:27:41you do not have to allow them faces.

1:27:44Y'all, it if you don't forgive, our

1:27:47father won't forgive us.

1:27:48>> That's the word.

1:27:50>> But I think the most important thing God

1:27:53is so strategic and he's so mindful. I

1:27:56can tell y'all somebody who's had to

1:27:58forgive somebody who deeply offended me,

1:28:01deeply hurt me. I can tell you that it

1:28:04is a it's a different type of freedom.

1:28:06And God wants you to continue to come to

1:28:08him with that so he can soften your

1:28:10heart. When you forgive a person truly,

1:28:13you are softening your heart. Every time

1:28:14you go to God about it, your heart

1:28:16becomes less hardened than what it is.

1:28:19It becomes softer and to the point to

1:28:21where you truly can feel it. When you

1:28:23think of that person, you ain't angry no

1:28:25more. You think of that person, you

1:28:27ain't mad.

1:28:28>> That's it.

1:28:29>> You think of that person and you like,

1:28:30"Lord, I I pray they find you."

1:28:32>> Yep.

1:28:33>> You don't have like I tell y'all, living

1:28:35a life without anger, it's been so I

1:28:38done been hurt so many ways. I don't

1:28:41care. I don't

1:28:44because I know God forgives me. Could

1:28:47y'all imagine if God didn't forgive us?

1:28:48And trust me, I've been hurt. It's been

1:28:50some horrible stuff I've had to endure.

1:28:53And some stuff people look and say, "I

1:28:55don't know how you forgave that person."

1:28:56Because of God. It trust me, it was God.

1:29:00Every time I came and took my anger to

1:29:03God, when my anger was at a 10, God

1:29:05brought my anger to a nine. when my

1:29:07anger was at a nine and I surrendered

1:29:08that to God and I broke and I brought it

1:29:10to God. He brought my anger down to a

1:29:11seven. I said, "God, I'm still angry

1:29:14right now. I'm still hurting." He

1:29:15brought my anger down to a six. And then

1:29:18when I was at that six, I said, "God,

1:29:19I'm feeling something more than my

1:29:21anger. I'm feeling something else. God,

1:29:23I'm sad about this." Okay, you sad right

1:29:25now. Okay, we got your anger to a six.

1:29:27And we recognize you sad. I'm going to

1:29:29work on both of those. Only God can do

1:29:30that. I'm sad. That's all right. I'm

1:29:32about to give you a joy. Joy ain't about

1:29:34to understand. I'm about to give you a

1:29:36peace. You worried, I'm about to give

1:29:37you a piece. That anger, that sadness,

1:29:40that peace, everything that was

1:29:41revealed, I was able to cast on God cuz

1:29:43he showed it each time I came to him.

1:29:45Every time I came to God, he showed more

1:29:47and more. He revealed this is where this

1:29:49is where your heart is. This is your

1:29:50heart position

1:29:52until it got to the point where I was

1:29:54like, you know what? I'm just happy

1:29:57and I'm good with it.

1:29:58>> That's good.

1:30:00>> That's where you are. When you release

1:30:01full control, that's how you know you've

1:30:04surrendered, God. I believe that you

1:30:06going to do everything you say you going

1:30:08to do.

1:30:09>> Yeah.

1:30:10>> I believe you and I trust you. Why? You

1:30:12know why do I trust you? Because in your

1:30:14word, everything that you promise and

1:30:16prophesied came to pass. Every single

1:30:20thing you promised and prophesied came

1:30:23to pass. Why wouldn't I trust you?

1:30:27Every promise that God made came to

1:30:29pass.

1:30:31Every promise. How many of y'all can say

1:30:33God brought y'all out of something? That

1:30:35was a promise that God made.

1:30:37God brought y'all out of whatever was

1:30:39crushing your spirit. How many of y'all

1:30:41can say that God rescued you from an

1:30:43addiction or he rescued you from some

1:30:45type of anxiety or he rescued you from

1:30:47some type of illness? How many of y'all

1:30:49can say that God rescued you from

1:30:51wherever the enemy had you bound?

1:30:54Exactly. How many of you all can say

1:30:56that God redeemed you of the time that

1:30:58was taken away from you? of what was

1:31:00stolen from you, God redeemed you and

1:31:02restored it.

1:31:05How many of you all can say that?

1:31:09>> How many of you all can say that God has

1:31:11revealed himself truly as your father?

1:31:15He has loved you. He has cared for you.

1:31:17He has nurtured you in some of your

1:31:18hardest seasons.

1:31:21How many of you all can say that God was

1:31:23personally invested in your life? He was

1:31:26right there. He heard my every cry. He

1:31:28counted my sorrows and my tears, placed

1:31:31them in bottles, and he said, "I

1:31:32remember when you cried on this day, and

1:31:33I'mma give this back to you." Ah, don't

1:31:36worry about it. I'm give you that two

1:31:37times over. How many of you all can say

1:31:40that? That God was so invested in your

1:31:42life that he made your problems his?

1:31:46How many of you all can say that? Mhm.

1:31:49How many of you all can say that God

1:31:50really brought you into a land full of

1:31:53milk and honey? He gave you provision?

1:31:56How many of you all can say, "I didn't

1:31:57understand when I lost all this stuff. I

1:31:58didn't never think I was going to get it

1:32:00back. And then God gave it to me double,

1:32:01three times, four times over.

1:32:04God showed me my name was on that. I

1:32:06don't even know how I was paying this

1:32:08bill. I don't even know how I healed

1:32:09from that. How in the world did I get

1:32:11past that childhood trauma?" Nothing but

1:32:13God.

1:32:14>> My God. That's good.

1:32:17>> And how many of you all can say that God

1:32:19gave you grace and mercy? If you're

1:32:22here, he's giving you mercy

1:32:26and he gave you grace.

1:32:29God made those promises and he fulfilled

1:32:31them. So why not trust him? What's the

1:32:34worst that can happen when you trust

1:32:35God?

1:32:40>> Come on.

1:32:41>> What's the worst that can happen

1:32:44>> when you trust God?

1:32:45>> Yeah.

1:32:47>> Okay. Somebody I I feel led to just

1:32:50respond to this because I had to take

1:32:53this back to God, but somebody asked in

1:32:54the chat, "How do I know I've truly

1:32:57forgiven someone?" And I think Kitty

1:32:59touched on this, right? You have a

1:33:00peace. You know, you wake up, you're

1:33:03okay, you can pray for them. But

1:33:05somebody brought this to my attention

1:33:06and I took it back to God and it shook

1:33:08me a little bit because I had to go back

1:33:10and be like, "Oh, God, have I truly

1:33:11forgiven these people?" But they say,

1:33:14you know, you've truly forgiven someone

1:33:16where if you see them or come into

1:33:18proximity with them and you act like it

1:33:21never happened.

1:33:22>> Yep. Yep. Yep.

1:33:25>> Come on now.

1:33:26>> I said, "Oh, because we can think, oh, I

1:33:29forgiven that person as long as they not

1:33:31around you. As long as you don't have to

1:33:33cross paths with them, as long as you

1:33:34don't ever have to say hi to them. But

1:33:37the moment you have to come into

1:33:39proximity and say hello, if you feel a

1:33:42tension, if you feel anything in you,

1:33:44you if even if you have the thought of

1:33:46it like, "Oh, wait a minute. Now, as

1:33:47long as they ain't in my space, we good.

1:33:49But if they in my space, I don't know. I

1:33:52don't know." You need to go back to God

1:33:53and ask God to uh help you do someone

1:33:55forgiven. That's how you know you truly

1:33:57forgiven someone. You have to be able to

1:34:00be in a person's space. And again, that

1:34:02don't mean they got to you got to be

1:34:03friends with them, buddy buddy. But yes,

1:34:05you have to be able to cross paths with

1:34:07someone and if it's meant to say hello,

1:34:08hello with nothing in your body and we

1:34:10can keep it moving. That's how you

1:34:13>> Exactly. Yep.

1:34:16I feel good. You know what? God, thank

1:34:18you. You did some work on me, my Lord.

1:34:22Me, too.

1:34:23>> Feel great. I am proud. I am proud.

1:34:25Okay.

1:34:26>> Hey, this is freedom. I I tell anybody

1:34:29who thinks this is freedom.

1:34:31>> This is real freedom, y'all.

1:34:33Yeah,

1:34:34>> it is cuz nothing's holding me bound

1:34:36now. Ain't the thing from my past, the

1:34:38thing that I went through that's holding

1:34:39me bound. So, yeah. So, you all enjoyed

1:39:19thank you for you. Lord, we are so

1:39:21thankful that we do not have to do this

1:39:23life by ourselves. We don't have to

1:39:25figure it out. Lord, we thank you that

1:39:28you are our father who has already

1:39:31predestined our lives, who wrote it from

1:39:34end to beginning. Father, I come into

1:39:36agreement that you already knew us

1:39:39before you formed us and you appointed

1:39:42us before we even came out of our

1:39:45mother's womb, Lord. And so I just thank

1:39:47you that you have blessed us to have

1:39:50breath in our body that you have given

1:39:52us and that you've woken us up and that

1:39:54we still have purpose, Father. That we

1:39:57still have a calling, Father. that you

1:39:59have given us gifts and allowed us to

1:40:02have a vessel that is going to be able

1:40:05to build your kingdom, Lord. Lord, I

1:40:08come to you right now just calling on

1:40:10you as Jehovah Rohigh. Lord, thank you

1:40:13for being our shepherd. Thank you for

1:40:16guiding us. Thank you for even

1:40:18disciplining us. Thank you for your

1:40:20peace. Thank you for our cup that

1:40:23overflows. Lord, thank you so much for

1:40:26the abundance that you have destined for

1:40:29all of us, Lord. Lord, I thank you so

1:40:32much right now for the fellowship that

1:40:35you have granted us, Lord, that we could

1:40:39presence, Lord. Lord, I thank you right

1:40:41now the work that you are doing in each

1:40:43and every one of our lives, Lord. This

1:40:46world right now is chaotic, but even in

1:40:55understanding, Lord. Lord, I just thank

1:40:58you that no matter what we go through,

1:41:00you will be with us, Father. I declare

1:41:03that you will not fail us or abandon us,

1:41:05Father. And I decree that no one on here

1:41:08will not fear or be dismayed. No matter

1:41:11what this earth may show, no matter what

1:41:14is going on in our government, no matter

1:41:16what we are experiencing, we will not

1:41:18fear. We may have a human fear, Father,

1:41:20but we will turn to you and we will

1:41:22place that at your feet. Father, I come

1:41:25right to you right now, interceding and

1:41:28repenting. Lord, I just turn away from

1:41:31my wicked ways and ask that you hear my

1:41:34prayer. I humble myself as your

1:41:36daughter, Father, interceding on behalf

1:41:38of everyone, asking for forgiveness,

1:41:41Father, for anything that has been said,

1:41:43anything that has been done, any thought

1:41:45that we have had that is not in

1:41:47alignment with you, Father. I declare
