to read just a portion of exodus chapter chapter 3 just a little bit and then I'm going to Jeremiah just to embellish this point exodus 3-1 now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law the priest of Midian and he led the flock to the backside of the desert came to the mountain of God even to Horeb and the angel of the Lord appeared unto Him in a flame of fire out of the midst of the bush and of course with all Moses as scientific Egyptian background he looked and behold the bush burned with fire
and the bush was not consumed I I want to use that to sort of embellish where I'm going tonight but notice the bush was not consumed just just kept on burning and because it kept on burning it's it it can capture Moses his attention in Jeremiah chapter 20 and as I thought about what happened in Jamaica and I knew this is where I had to go tonight and verse 7 Jeremiah is now in the middle of his ministry and at a point where I'm sure he's convinced by now that everything should be working smoothly and
in verse 7 he says O Lord thou hast deceived me and I was deceived thou art stronger than I and has prevailed I am in division daily everyone marketed me for since I spake I cried out I cried violence and spoil because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me and a derision daily then I said I will not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name but his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones and I was weary with forbearing and I
could not stay I want you to look at somebody and simply tell them the fire won't go out I'm not an Old Testament preacher I will admit that I'm not a storyteller type Hebrew is more descriptive and and Greek is more definitive and I spent a lot of time defining and not describing but I noticed something that is quite significant to all of us and I would like to talk to gifted people tonight I'll open by saying for every everlasting relationship God has put into place everlasting safeguards because whatever God puts in place to protect
his purpose is as everlasting as the purpose he intends to protect I propose then that if you're going to deal with Jeremiah chapter 20 you've got to deal with Jeremiah chapter 1 and he's saying to the Prophet before I formed thee in the belly I knew and before thou cometh forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nation which seemed to me then that God does not give Jeremiah's existence as a credit to his mother or farm he attributes the prophet's existence to himself I wonder can you
catch in your mind the fact that you might be here because God formed you for a reason not attributed to parent so you don't live for your parents your existence is not attributed to your friends so you don't live for your friend it's not attributed to yourself so you don't live for yourself if God said you are here because of me then you can only live for the one who put you together for this life Ethan I fooled you yeah sure i fashioned you that means that I took time out to especially put you together
for what it is I want you to do if I put you together for what it is I want you to do then I will dictate what you do because if I put you together for what I want you to do and you don't do what I want you to do then I didn't put you together for what I want you to do because whatever I put together does what I wanted to do that's why you're losing some friends because they don't fit in the plan of God for what God wants you can I take
my time they turn the clock or they turned it off for his birth he didn't form you for your purpose and so consequently he has to get the notion of your purpose out of you in order to reinstate his purpose in you now the struggle is once I have begun to move in my purpose and God then begins to turn me from my purpose to his purpose and that doesn't happen easily now I went to Moses just for a little bit here and and and and I want you to see something that that what's what's
profound in my thought when God spared Moses and I'm gonna talk about Jeremiah I just allow me to you know just this little yeah addendum and and he he saves Moses from Pharaoh but he puts Moses in Pharaoh's house all of the decadence of Egypt now becomes a part of Moses life before Moses becomes aware of God's purpose if you notice he spends 40 years in Pharaoh's house then God takes 40 years in the desert to get the 40 years of Pharaoh out of Moses Oh God and then he puts him forty years to take
Israel from Egypt did you see what I mean you see you think God only began to deal with your life when you came to church but God was working in your past to make your present more powerful I feel God him you don't want to admit where you're coming from but if it wasn't for where you're coming from you wouldn't be able to go where you go tonight it is here you see because of the purpose of God has to be established once we have begun to move in time anything that God has purposed he
purposed before you got here but you have to come to the cognizance you have to come to the spiritual consciousness of what it is God intends for you to do let's go to the next level here what God has said it in eternity it has to be revealed in time because everything that God purposes is challenged by the enemy any time he entrusts a gift in anybody and he entrusts his purpose in anybody the enemy attacks immediately I couldn't understand this earlier because I was confused I thought that if God insisted there should be no
problem and this is Jeremiah's dilemma right through here because the gift of God is shrouded in mysterio which means that through eternity the enemy does not know what God intends if you understand that you understand then that the mysterio only keeps the enemy away because the enemy cannot attack God anyway ataque God because God is pristine in his power he is omnipotent and there is nothing the enemy can do because the gift is in the hand of God and it's shrouded in mystery once the gift is presented to the recipient or the carrier of the
gift that's the only time the gift can be attacked because of the gift cannot be attacked in the pristine power of an omnipotent God because there's no enemy that can get to God to stop God from doing what he's going to do but once the gift is transferred into the human vessel the enemy who could not attack the giver attacks the recipient of the gift god I feel it here just did you see let me just say once you begin to pray thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven you have just
volunteered your earthly vessel for a heavenly treasure interestingly enough the enemy did not know you were designated until God transfers an eternal gift in time it is critical here because he cannot attack God but he can attack you I couldn't understand this I got beside myself because I said when lord how do you give me a gift and allow the trials of life to come and what God is saying here to me is gift once I give it opens the door for the enemy to attack your character he destroy the gift but if he can
destroy you you won't use the booster I feel it here this is why when you're gifted you cannot expect to be gifted and not attacked oh god I wish you could understand this because there is no way that the enemy is going to get to the gift other than through you but the only problem is bad time the enemy finds out that you have the gift it is already too late how might I work this how about I work this you can see you have to understand the premise can I teach I'll hope a little
later but if you just allow me right through here you see how do you attack the gift how do you attack the purposes of God you were tapped by attacking the vessel that God has given the gift to now all of us believe Jesus is God and the difficult thing here is in James he says God cannot be tempted me the tempted me any man jesus the son of God is God what Jesus can be attacked why can't a suspected when the father can't because Jesus has an element that the father does not have and
that is flesh you see what the gift is transferred to the flesh then the enemy comes after the flesh to negate the gift I feel it here here is where he went wrong because I know what I know I have a double confirmation that I'm gifted I know it in my spirit and I know it when I'm oh I feel God in this house so I don't go negative on the negative I go positive on the negative because when the Devil attacks me he reveals to me oh I feel the Holy Spirit now can I
God is never reactionary touch your neighbors I know you're going through something but it's because you gifted I know I know they're talking about you but that's because you gifted I know they don't like you but it's because [Applause] it is here now that we grasp the significance because of the mysterion understand the Mysterio on the mysterion is it's it says something that God holds in his hand and it's only revealed by his Spirit it is not intellectual it is not intellectual because you cannot gain this knowledge outside of the revelatory expression of the Holy
Spirit you can't get it so when God reveals it and you become cognizant of your calling that's when the devil finds out he does not find it out before now because God calls the end from the beginning and he gives all gifts in eternity and they revealed in time he has already factored what the enemy is going to do when you get the gift but the enemy doesn't know if the enemy knew he would not have crucified the Lord of glory because God already factored cross he released the Holy Ghost the only thing the enemy
is doing with you is releasing I feel the Spirit of God in touch with a few powerful even in my pain when the enemy is Almighty it is here now then you don't sit down oh it is I said I mended it you see there's a difference now and then and and then I'm going to work there's a difference then between seeking God to help facilitate your goals and dreams and being given a divine assignment to fulfill his calling I said to the Lord I said now what are you talking about here he said he
said there's a difference between you asking me to help you to do what you want to do than for me to reveal that I own all of you I said well how is it different he said well it's the difference between being in the army and being in the reserves in the reserve you just come in every now and then and and do your little bit but now when I called you you're in my army I said Lord some of us might not get that he said well it's the difference between taking a woman out
occasionally when you have time and marrying one because then you're with her even when you not seeing her I said lord help me with this he said it's the difference between our request for bacon and eggs when you ask the chicken and the hall he said because the chicken can lay egg and keep on living but the hog [Music] Oh actually a guardian you see when you when you operate within the parameters of my choice and operate in the parameters of his choice you're dealing with something totally and profound I said well I must say
it theologically and if you doubt it just go to the wilderness with Jesus as he walks in the temptation of the enemy he refused and refused him on every side when I see Jesus under temptation I see the master handling the word I see strength we have ever seen I see that same Jesus gets emanation and now I have a total of when he's facing the devil he can move things up and down but when he is facing God God to help him get through 40 days of fasting but when it came for his purpose
he began to sing nevertheless not my will but thy will be done it seems to me that it was easier to handle temptation than it was to handle the purpose of God can I just take a little further you will not prevail over misunderstanding people like you will prevail over miss understanding God you will not prevail over losing a million dollar house like you would over losing your church you will not prevail oh god I know it's truth over losing your charm but you sure would have a problem losing your anointing I heard David in
the middle of his mess you can take my crown you can take my kingdom you can take my house but one thing don't you ever take from me don't take my anointing can I say this to you in all humility it is easier facing the devil than it is facing God because when I face the devil I got God to help me but when I face God I feel the Holy Ghost and so now it brings me to the text when you understand this you see now that this man has been moved by God Jeremiah
understood he said lord I know these people I know their behavior and I know how they are I really don't want to do this I don't want to do this at all who are moved by God rush to take the job it's people who don't know what they're getting into I feel like preaching in here oh yeah oh yeah if you run a poll on folk and you go down checking people who have great ministries they were not running into that job they had something else to do that was making good money this ain't about
money honey you can't pay me to preach yeah you ain't got enough money to pay me to preach because it's like fire I left that alone for a while give somebody a high five and tell them for what I have to go through you can't pay me for my gift it is Jeremiah who is saying now Lord I don't wanna do this and God begins to move on him to be a prophet he is now prophesying and the more he speaks and the more God shows his gift the more the enemy comes after him he
is not in the middle of his ministry and it would seem now that should have no problems and all of a sudden he is faced with a man called Peshawar not sure held the office of the deed and the deed is the commander he occupies the front he is also a pod deed which means that he's a superintendent not only is he the chief but he's the overseer of everybody in the house of God I want you to notice that in spite of his position God brings Jeremiah in who is what we call Alana be
one man is inspired so Jeremiah is in there because of inspiration not because of oversight in terms of appointment when you look at that sure he's in position because of his birth Jeremiah is in position because of his calling one man was born in place another man was born out of place but called in took place oh god I hope somebody's with me here tonight touch your neighbor say it's calling that matters it's calling it's calling yeah now can I take it just a little further sure held the office of chief overseer in the house
of the Lord by appointment of man according to the virtue of birth which means that he came into the job without any spiritual awareness how can you be spirited without spiritual awareness now if you will understand this you will see then that pasture is naturally selected but Jeremiah is supernaturally selected what man is coming by merit of his intellect the other man is coming by merit of his contact oh god I feel it now anytime the devil notices your contact he attacks you supernaturally because he wants to shut your mouth before it gets open he
wants to kill your gift while it's still in the belly now sure is in place because of appointment Jeremiah is in place because of anointing one is appointed the other is anointed can I take it to the next level at this point Jeremiah is the first man in a second position I don't know I've never been there but think about David and think about Saul God anoints David to make it King but now Saul is still the king even though David is anointed and you have to learn to work with folk who you are anointed
but they have the position oh god I feel it here you've got to learn how to walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death of being the first person in a second position and still have the fire and the victory shall be mine because when God gets ready he's gonna flip the strip I feel like I know what's going on now it was his duty [Music] whenever you deal with they will try to put you in going but not annoyed it around me he's mad and he's whipped and he's trying to understand
how can this be you call me you for me before my mother's womb if anybody ought to have power I oughta have it but outside power isn't always equivalent to inside power because it's the inside that determines are you really called or are you really gifted and so now he's opposed to by the appointed and the natural is over the supernatural but now remember that Jeremiah's God is and Asher's father was the natural always was the supernatural is always is I feel like preaching now you know where I am let's have some church he is
my parolee see he is my do is it's going to be over was every day but I feel the Holy Ghost in here Jeremiah refused to complain sad in his heart but one day it hurt him so bad he said Lord thou has to see me in other words I'm totally gone because I don't understand what I'm going through everything would be alright but the more anointing I get the mean of the folks with all the gifts that you've shown me that by now folk wouldn't line up behind me and feel like I'm the best
thing in the world what it looks like the greater the anointing yep the greater the affliction but I'm beginning to find out that what I have it's a real anointing because if it wasn't real quit a long time Paco shake somebody's hand huh said I tried to quit what the fire would not go out no the Holy Ghost is here I know it's real they've tried to whip me they tried to walk on me they tried to wipe me out the conspirators met the Myers head counselor I had channeled difficulties on all sides but every
time I said to myself I'm walking out of here something on the inside comes alive I've been disappointed it won't go out talked about but it won't go out I've been walked on but it won't go out I've been hurt but it won't go out they tried to take my church but it won't go out they try to tear me down but it won't go out something in here [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's real it's been tested it's been [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] I don't care what they it won't go out I know what
you've got is really all that hell you read through and you're still here that stuff is real hate you look at your foot you can't tell the enemy do what you want [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] somebody said what I got is real but it's been tested [Applause] [Music] you're gifted you're gifted I'm closing because I should focus but I want you to notice something else at work now what should get one person by both hands in a moment Paul says to Timothy he says Timothy be thou partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel according
to the power of God and I'm saying that sounds awfully ambiguous if not contradictory because I'm saying Lord according to is not out of I mean I can have a billion dollars and you say brother I'd say I'm gonna give you something out of what I have so fine and I'll give you three dollars I didn't lie I gave it to you out of but if I say I'm gonna give it to you according to I'm talking about everything I have and here is what seems ambiguous to me if you are going to give me
power out of all you have Why should there be any effect and the answer is simply if you gift it you're going to have affliction because you got an inner sleeve you got an outer sleeve but it's one sleeve and whenever God shows you that you were gifted and when you realize it the enemy found it out too so now when he attacks the same power that gives me is the same power that protects but the process rules that what I have is real take somebody by both hands preachers get a hold to each other
if anybody ought to hold each other we ought to hold each other you gifted you're gifted Peter said think it not strange it's not unusual for gospel you're gifted you've been attacked I know it was God's will for me to go to Jamaica because I was attacked they pushed the bus like they wanted to push the Saints over aah but when folk began to speak in other tongues and the anointing filled the bus gifted Jairus head and Jeremiah said I didn't understand but I can't shut my mouth preach your way out of it sing your
way out of it dance your way out of it [Applause] [Music] worship your way out of it but give your way outta me whatever he gifted you to do just keep on doing it because the fire won't go out they've given you three months that Devin is alive you can't stop what God has ordained from the foundation of the world and he knew what you'd go through I want you to hold your brother your sister tightly I want you to hold them like they're on the edge of suicide I want you to hold them like
you know what they're going through I want you to hold them like the anointing of God is going to pass from you to them you've come against many trials this has been a year of trials last year the year before the year before but God told me to tell you that the trials are about over God said I've proven to the enemy that you will not fire that Obama shot tired of us I've proven to the enemy you will not fall because your fire will go on God told me to tell you I'm getting ready
to turn up your plane I'm getting ready to put you on high I'm getting ready to put you so hot that you're gonna burn up the neighborhood which is seal and which are anointing I'm getting ready to turn you up that when you go in a national all over the globe will know that God has I know when they bring up the lies it'll consume it when they bring up the conspiracies it'll consume it when they bring up the negatives it'll consume it when they try to put you down they'll be consumed by the power
of your anointing and I claim it in the name of Jesus squeeze your brother's hand I put in a new fresh power of God I'm turning up the fuel of the Holy Ghost the Word of God expect in the next few weeks an internal combustion that's going to light your circumstance your household your family in the name of Jesus you are coming through a trial into a season of victory you have held out you have been strong it's not by power it's not by might but it spotless [Applause]
