Hey family, welcome to the house. We're so glad you're here and we are excited about this word that you are getting ready to receive. It's going to bless you and change your life. And when God speaks to you and it resonates very deeply and there's a promise, maybe something that you've been praying for and believing God for, I want you to sew a seed. Absolutely. Whenever God meets me, I make it my personal commitment to Sew a seed to build an altar. When there's something in that message that you know the light turns on or
it deals with something that you have been struggling with, there is something about having this practical manifestation of that response of what God just said to you. And for me, that comes when I sew a seed. We love you. God bless you. Watch it to the end and then share this message with somebody. It's going to change your life And hopefully many others. Let's have some fun today. You ready to have some fun today? We're going to get fed, but we're going to have fun today. We're going to have a good time. If you got
your Bibles, bring it up and stand up. I didn't tell you to wear them stilettos. So, endure heart and it says a good soldier. We're going to Psalms 133. Oh, I didn't I didn't I'm sorry. Serve The people of God. You can tell it's been a while since I did Sunday morning. Okay. Thank you. I'm hungry. I'm hungry right now. You got a candy bar? No. I'm trying to live. Y'all feel me? Psalms 133 1-3. Very familiar passage of scripture. But for some reason, I find the Holy Spirit drawing my attention to the text in
the hopes that I might be Able to extrapolate from the components therein some grain of Rama. some grain of Rama that has transformed from just logos thought and idea into a word that is cut to the continuity of your situation that we might hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying to the church. We need to hear from him. Our ears are open. When you have it, say amen. Amen. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran
down upon the beard, even Aaron's garments, as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord commanded the blessing. For there the Lord commanded the blessing. Even life, for there the Lord commanded the Blessing. For there the Lord commanded the blessing. Even life forever more. Look at your neighbor and say, "Whatever God commands." Whatever God commands. Say it again. Whatever God commands. Whatever God commands. If if my daughter were preaching this message, she would put some kind of word around it that centered around surrender, but
they mean the same thing. When you say whatever God commands, you have to surrender what you Had in mind in order to be open for whatever God commands. Say it again. Whatever God commands. Whatever God commands. Speak, Lord, for thy servant hears. Open us up to to receive the engrafted word of God. Not the word that falls on stony ground and the birds eat it and take it away, but let it stick to us. Let it be nourishment to us. Let it counsel us and guide us and and and carve us and shape us and
mold us and Make us. I thank you in advance for what you're going to do. I believe you for great things in Jesus name. Somebody shout amen. You may be seated. Yeah. Let's go to work. Behold is almost like the blurring of a trumpet at 6:00 in the morning waking the troops up. It says, "I want you alert. I want you focused. I want you to See this. I want you to get this. Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren." And I got stuck on that. I thought it's interesting that he is he
is saying how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. But just because we are kin doesn't mean we're connected. In fact, the disconnect can be all the more pronounced when it exists amongst brethren. Some of us are grieved in our heart today because we see on television And we see on Instagram and other places beautiful families having wonderful time. And when your family gets together you know, and and and and and and you love them. It's not that you don't love them, but but somebody has a way of saying things
that that that that trigger you, just just trigger you, just just just bother you. And just because you are kin or you work in the same building or you work in the same Profession, some of some of the greatest attacks I've ever gotten have come from preachers. Doctors don't always like doctors. Taylor criticize each other's works. But says she didn't do that right. She left it in too long. Some of the greatest criticism I ain't messing with you. I ain't messing with you this morning. I ain't messing with you this morning. Some of the greatest
critics come from The people that we are brethren we are connected to. It is difficult to find somebody who is secure enough in themselves to accept you and support you and reflect you in such a way that your insecurities are diminished. They have to be secure enough to compliment you. See, they don't know that as gifted as you are, your gifted is your normal. And so you you don't really realize that you're gifted. And so you can do something that's terribly gifted and Walk away and wonder was it okay? And if you don't surround yourself
with an inner circle of people who are comfortable enough to be able to reaffirm what God has done in your life, they you you wonder, am I enough? Am I enough? So even even amongst brethren, amongst people that you would think would readily uh protect you, embrace you. I mean, look at Joseph. His brothers tried to kill him. Now, I don't want anybody to try to kill Me, but I sure don't want my brother to to try. That's insult to injury when somebody who's supposed to love you tries to take you out, threw him in
a pit, lied on him, convinced their father he was dead, and kept the lie for years. That's why you can't trust everything people say. They will keep the lie. I'm talking to the wrong church. Let me find Let me find some. I had never paid attention to the word brethren. Behold, how good and Pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Because my assumption is that if we are brethren, surely we ought to be able to dwell together in unity. The the big word here, the great word here, the powerful word here is
unity. Unity. And it's it's such a simple little word. Say it with me. Unity. Unity. But it's so hard to capture. Somebody bought me one of those Little fly swatters that that electrocute the fly, but it's not real big, you know. And I need a I want I need one real big so that I can increase the chances of attack. Okay. Cuz my fly be sitting on the wood part laughing at me saying, "You thought you had me, didn't you?" Yeah. Yeah. I I I go through that kind of stuff. You You wouldn't think though
that you would be electrocuted by your own. You unity is important and it's hard to maintain because because you cannot have unity without individual sacrifice. Do not confuse unity with conformity because most of us think of unity when we win the argument and the person comes over to our side then we are united because we are more concerned about being we're more concerning concerned about winning than we are about being connected. When being right becomes more Important than surviving, you're in trouble because you you've thrown out the baby with the water. Your ego is so
strong that you want to be right at the expense of us losing unity. And unity is it's an utmost passion of God. Unity is something that God respects and moves upon in such a powerful way. unity like it like if if this church got on one accord for a minute. I I it would be no telling what would happen in this place If we united. If if we all got together, if you didn't have to do your own thing. If we all said when got together and said hallelujah at the same time. The unity would
be impactful. If we all prayed for the same thing at the same time, the unity would be impactful. If we all fell flat on our face and laid before God, the unity would be impactful. It's not just what you said. It's the unity of doing the same thing at the same time. Whether you feel like Doing it or not, whether your knees hurt or not, whether you normally pray that way or not, but for the sake of unity, there has to be a certain amount of willingness for you to give up your individuality for the
greater good of connectivity. And some of us are so intent on being an an individual that we never learn the power of a group. You brag about being an individual. I'm my own woman. I'm my own man. I can do for myself. I don't need anybody to do For me. That's not right. It might be right at the time you said it, but it's not going to be right in the nursing home. It's not going to be right in the hospital. It's not going to be right when you're having a baby. It's not going to
be right in a car wreck. It's not going to be right when you need a promotion on a job. You're going to need somebody sometime. And you got to learn how to come out of yourself. If you come out of yourself, God will help you. Let Me go a little bit deeper. Can I go a little bit deeper? I was reading an interesting article and it suggests that isolation is more deadly than cigarettes. And we are living in an increasingly isolated society. And I'm not just talking about us grown folks who don't trust anybody. I'm
talking about little kids isolated with an iPad. Me and my iPad. I don't need a friend. So, I can't Learn how to resolve conflict. I can't learn how to have a dispute. I can't learn how to have an agreement because whatever I punch on my iPad, it does what it says. And then when I get out in the real world and I do a little thing and I don't get the reaction that I need, I don't know how to get along with people because I don't know how to have unity. We are not training people
to be unified because you would have to give up on some of yourself. Okay, maybe we Won't have biscuits tonight. We'll have cornbread. I'll put the biscuits in the refrigerator. We'll have it later. Maybe we won't have chicken. We'll have pork chop. you. In order to have unity, sometimes you have to give up on your what you had in mind in order to have unity. In other words, in order to have unity, you have to fight for it. You have to work on it. You have to fight yourself for it. You have to shut up.
You have to bite your tongue. Sometime you can't say everything that comes to mind. Sometime you got to be quiet sometime. Sometimes you got to say yes to something that you wouldn't normally say yes to in order to have unity. So if I'm going to pay that much for unity, unity has to be valuable. So unity is so valuable that we can understand how thousands of people in this church if we start praying in the same way, God will hear it. But let me tell you, let's reduce the numbers down. He said, "If two or
three are gathered together in my name, I don't I don't I don't need everybody to be connected with me." That's what's wrong now. You got too many people connected with you. I just need two or three. I need an inner circle. I need a Peter, James, and John. I need somebody who I can reopen with. And if we come together and touch and agree on anything, the Bible said it shall be done. That means unity is so powerful That if we come into agreement and alignment, we can do anything. If you don't believe me, believe
Nimrod. He got ready to build a tower toward heaven. And it wasn't even for a good reason. But as he built the tower toward heaven, he God said, "I have to stop him because the people are unified." And if the people are one, there is nothing impossible for people who are unified. That's why the devil wants hell in your marriage. Because there's nothing Impossible for people that are unified. That's why you and your daughter keep falling out with each other. Because there's nothing impossible when you are unified. That's why you and your son can't get
along. There's nothing impossible when you're unified. The object of the text is unity. The pursuit of the text is unity. The fight of the text is unity. The realization of unity has to be something that you want bad enough to give up your opinion. I I remember years ago I was taking my girls out to eat somewhere and I asked them where they wanted to go. One of them wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory. I can't remember where the other one wanted to go. But they but they had a different opinion about where they
wanted to go eat for unity sake. We couldn't go both places now. We had to choose. Somebody had to compromise cuz I'm not going to be running all over town. You know, I'm good but I'm not That good. Okay. For unity, somebody had to give up on their preference. so that they might be able to have the power that comes when we unite. But the problem is who's going to bend? Who's going to bend? Who's going to bend? Who's going to bend? Especially when you have been trained that winning is more important than being effective.
Y'all not going to let me meddle with you today. I can hoop and get out of here. But but but but but I'm after Something with this unity. Let's go a little bit deeper. Can we go deeper? What is a church? What is a church? A church is not pews or stained glass windows. A church is not a preacher. It's it's not a preacher. There are people who have church don't have a preacher. They still have church. Uh uh what is church? It's not a choir. Jesus lived his whole life and never Heard a choir.
It's not a Hammond B3 organ. Jesus never saw organ in his life. And yet he preached 5,000 people out into the desert with no microphone, no organ, no praise team, no dancers, no flyers, no no tweets, no anything. He just preached with power. And the word all by itself drew them out and they came because Jesus had a word. He spoke with authority. He spoke with conviction. He spoke with Power. A church is not a building. They could turn this into a skating rink. They could turn it into an auditorium. They could turn it into
anything they wanted to turn it into. It is not the stone walls that are sacred. They're not They're not sacred. They're not sacred. It's just concrete. I was here when they poured it. It's just concrete. Tilt wall concrete. They poured the concrete on the floor and then stood it up side by side until they Built what we call the potter's house. But the real essence of the potter's house is not a building. It's the real essence of the potter's house is not Bishop Jake. The reason it can't be Bishop Jake is because Bishop Jake is
expendable. Bishop Jakes is not infallible. Bishop Jakes is not eternal. Bishop Jakes is not everlasting. It can't be built on a person. Anything built on a person will come Down. Anything built on a person will come down. Anything built on a person will come down. A marriage built on a person will come down. A company that's built on a on a person will come down. Apple is still producing all kinds of telephones. Steve Jobs is dead. They're still going on about their business. Let me tell you why. I was down in Disney uh not too
long ago. Walt Disney been dead. If he came back to life, he wouldn't even recognize Disneyland, Disney World. He wouldn't recognize the rides. He wouldn't recognize the movies. He wouldn't recognize where they came from because it wasn't built on a man. You cannot build things on a person and expect it to be powerful. It cannot just be your way or the highway. It can't just be built around grandma. Grandma can't have the last word about everything. She can't be right about everything. You can't tell your children everything cuz you did enough messing up In your
own life that you know you're not that sure which way they ought to go. Glory to God. If you told them the real truth of how many times you took wrong exit, wrong turns, had to get back up again, fell down, got yourself together, but you're perpetrating as if you were an expert when in reality, unity causes humility. You have to be humble enough to consider the fact that I might be wrong. I could be wrong. I could be wrong in how I'm handling this. I could be wrong in what I said. I could be
wrong about what I did. Just because you think differently doesn't mean you're wrong because you think differently from me. Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. What is it, church? If Jesus came in here today, you'd have to explain to him what this is. You'd have to explain. Jesus never saw a deacon. Deacons came in the first century church. did not exist in the Days of Jesus Christ. He did not see a deacon anywhere. Jesus never saw a pull pit. Jesus ministered outside in the street in the synagogues.
He didn't see a pull pit. You would have to take Jesus around and explain everything in the building. That's the balcony. Jesus, that's for the people who came in late and they want to be discreet. Uh [Applause] Or that's for the people who want to see everything because from the balcony you Can see everything. Okay. So that's the balcony Jesus and that's how that work. Those are drapes Jesus. This is outside. This is where we go to get coffee. What is coffee? G Jesus would have no concept. So what is church? Church could be in
a living room. Could be in a car. It could be in a house. It could be in Kroger's. It could be in Walmart. It could be in Kmart. Anywhere we assemble together, that's church. That's church. Wherever we get together, that creates Church. Look at this scripture right quick. Ephesians 2:19-22. I want you to look at this scripture so you begin to understand what God means when he says church. Ephesians 2:19. When you have it, say amen. It's on the screen. Y'all act like y'all really did something like you found something. And you looking all at
the screen. It's on the Screen. Now therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God. Okay? So we were strangers. We were foreigners and we were not citizens with the household of God. He said, "But now it's changed and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself." Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Come on. In whom all the building fitly framed together, Growth unto a holy temple in the Lord. This is not the kind of construction we do on
a building. The Bible is saying that every time God adds to the church that makes the temple of God. The temple is you. The temple is you. When you walk in, you become the temple. Our collective expression of God is like the temple. Our individual expression is like the tabernacle. So when all of our tabernacles, which just means God on the move, comes together into one place, we Form a habitation for the Lord. The Bible says that God inhabits the praises of his people. So that when we all get together, God inhabits our praises. Isaiah
6 said that the cherubims were going around and around and they weren't even talking to God. They were talking to each other. They were saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. And The Bible said that God came down and his train filled the temple. When we stop talking about each other and start talking about the holiness of God and the power of God and the glory of God and
we get that unity that we're talking about where we are in one place with one accord, God will come down and sit down in the midst of you. And the Bible said that his train filled the temple. You must understand if you were a king of a small kingdom, you had a small train. If You were a king of a medium-sized kingdom, you had a medium train. But if you were a king of a huge kingdom, you had a massive train. So the Bible says that his kingdom was so strong that his train filled the
temple. That means your God is king of kings. He's Lord of lords. He's the mighty God. He's the prince of peace. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. There's no beginning. There's no end. His kingdom goes on whether there's a this or that Or the other. And it's this God that says whenever we get together and unify, things begin to happen. The reason we don't see the miracles that we used to see is because somebody's playing on the phone while the service is going on. Somebody's texting their daughter and saying, "Put the pot
roast in the oven." Somebody else over there is humming a hymn that they used to sing years ago. Somebody else their mind is on where they parked and how far they got to walk To get back to serve. And because we never bring our minds into one thing at one place or one time, the spirit of division is as a spirit of witchcraft. Satan wants to divide us, distract us, worry us, get on our nerves, get us thinking about other things because he knows that if we got on one accord, we could drive diabetes away,
cancer away, leukemia away. He knows that if we ever got on one accord, every demonic force that's been attacking you would have to Get out of your He knows that if we got on one accord, we could speak peace over your body and that lump would come out of your breast. He knows if we ever got on one accord, we could speak to your family and your whole family would be on the altar and get saved. The enemy is so afraid of unity and it's so rare and it's so hard to get because we are
so opinionated because we are so self- conssumed. It's hard to get unity because we're so Egotistical. We would rather keep our ego and lose our miracle than give up our ego and receive our miracle. But I have to believe that there's somebody in here today that's humble enough to give up your ego to have a move from God. Something so powerful that things begin to change because that is the church. Touch somebody. Say, "You are the church. I am the church." When we get together, we are built together. Ephesians 2:22 Says, "Ye also are builded
together." God builds us together. God builds us together. God builds us together. Now, in the Bible days, they didn't have cinder block. When they built you together, you had to cut the rocks to make them fit in layers. And so, God has to cut all of us to get us to fit. Somebody, he has to cut your mouth. Somebody, he has to cut the way you think. Somebody has to cut the way you won't talk to anybody. And you hold Everything in. But God is steadily cutting so that we can fit together, so that we
can finally be jointly tied together. Because when we get together, something is going to happen. I can feel it in this room right now. Something is about to happen in this room. I can feel the density of the Holy Spirit. I can feel the complexity of the Holy Spirit. I can feel a change in the atmosphere right now because we're starting to bring our minds together. We're starting To get on one accord. We're through texting each other, writing notes where we're going to eat after church. The more we come together, the higher the wave of
the Holy Spirit. At first, it's going to be ankle deep. But if we keep on getting unified, it's going to be up to our knees. And if we keep on being unified, it'll be up to our waist. And if we keep on going, there'll be water to swim in. Don't you know if two or three, we ain't got to have the whole Church. If two or three, if your section, if your corner, if you and the three ladies on your row, if you and the three gentlemen on your row decide to get together, you could
change situation. Peter and John came up at the hour of prayer, saying it was the third hour of the day and said came on a lame man, and the lame man was laid at the gate called beautiful. And they said, "Silver and gold have I none, but I got unity. Such as I have give I unto thee." In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk. Let me show you the unity. The text says, "Look on us. Look on us. We are together on your healing. We are committed to your healing." That's why I come
to church because I want to find somebody that's committed to me getting better, me getting stronger, me getting healed, me coming up out of a ditch. That's why I need to come to church. I can praise God at home. I don't need none of y'all to Praise God. I can praise God in my living room. I can praise God in my shower. I can praise God in my house. I can praise God in my garage. I can praise God in my car. I can praise God all by myself. I don't have to have a drum.
I don't have to have a tambourine. I don't have to have a piano. I don't have to have a musician. I don't have a song. I don't even have to have a good voice. I can take my raggedy, cracked up, out of tune, broken down voice and Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. And if I make a joyful noise unto the Lord, the Lord will come in this place and shake this place up and do something amazing in my life. It's not how melodious you are. It's not how talented you are. It's not how
many words you know. It's not how well you preach, but if you get serious with God, God's going to do something amazing with you. Wonder what would happen if we got together in this place. Wonder what would happen. Wonder who would get healed. Wonder who would get set free. Wonder who would have a yoke broken in their life if we just get together and gang the devil like he gangs us. If we would gang him. We would drive him out of your house. Drive him out of your mind. Drive him out of your emotions. Drive
him out of your spouse. Drive him out of your life. All we got to do is get together. Look at somebody say, "Let's get together." Because the scripture here Teaches this. Can I go deeper? The scripture here teaches that if we can achieve unity, we will get oil. Unity brings the oil. Say that with me. Unity brings the oil. The reason we don't have more oil is that we got too many agendas. Unity brings the oil. It is like the oil that fell upon the head of Aaron onto his beards and onto his skirts. Once
you get unity, God's reward is to give you the oil. Now, you have to understand God's oil. When God says that he anoints Aaron, he doesn't mean he made a cross on his forehead. He doesn't mean he stopped by Kroger's and got a little dot of oil and pulled it down on his hair. No, no, no, no. When they poured oil on you, number one, it was heavy. It was full of incense. It was full of aromatic uh senses that touched the smell of it. The the the anointing had a smell. The anointing had a
smell. You didn't hear me? The anointing had a smell. Young folks, you got to catch this. Just because somebody gets loud don't mean they're anointed. The anointing has a smell, the anointing has an uncction. When an anointing is real, yeah, yeah. When an anointing gets real, you don't have to fight. You don't have to pull. You don't have to yell. Cuz the anointing has a [Applause] smell. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runth over. That means the same Oil that hits the head, hits the beards, hits the skirts. Do you hear what I'm
saying to you? The priest wore a linen ephod. Linen is what we used to make tablecloths out of. And we used them for tablecloths because they wouldn't hold the stain. It would was designed to make the oil slide. So God said, "I didn't anoint you for you to soak it up for yourself. I anointed you so that anything that got close to you would get up under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I better I better stop because I feel something pushing me just about right now. If you're sitting beside somebody that's got a little
linen, if the oil falls on them, you don't have to fight for it. It's going to slide. It's going to slide. Your cup is going to run over. Your saucer is going to get full. Your body is going to get healed. You're going to feel better and not even know why you felt better. Because when the anointing falls on you, It changes everything. Depression has got to go. Heartaches have got to go. Worry has got to go. Worry and the anointing cannot stay in the same place. If you've been worried all week, I dare you
to stand there and get anointed. Because if the anointing comes down, the worry going to have to run out the room. If the anointing comes down, the weakness is going to have to run out the room. If the anointing comes down, that headache, that migraine has got to come Out the room. If the anointing comes down, my God, let me sit beside somebody that's got some power. Let me sit beside somebody that's got some anointing. Let me sympathize somebody that I can touch and agree with so that yolks can be broken, bondages can be destroyed,
so that the enemy can't be consumed. I need your help right now. I'm going to just get you to preach for a minute. I want you to touch three people and tell them something is going to happen in here This morning. Something is going to happen in here this morning. Something is going to happen in here this morning. I feel us coming into agreement. I feel us getting on one accord. I feel us coming into agreement. I feel our minds coming in. I feel us forgetting about ourselves. I feel us coming into agreement. If two
or three are agree as touching anything on earth, it shall be done. Look at your neighbor and say, "Can you agree with Me that every yoke would be broken? That every weapon would be destroyed, that every demon would be defeated, that every sickness will flee." Look at your neighbor and say, "Can you agree with me that I'll leave here better than I came? Can you agree with me that whatever generational curses have been on my life that they're going to break off of me before I leave this room today? Can you agree with me that
my childhood will not destroy my adulthood? Can you agree with Me that my little boy won't kill my grown man? Can you agree with me? Can you agree with me? wait for an answer. If you don't get the right answer, move and get beside somebody that can come into agreement because the text is talking about agreement. And if we get into agreement, the oil is going to flow. Touch your neighbor and say, "Feel this oil." I got oil in my hands. I got oil in my feet. I got oil in my soul. I wouldn't have
made it if I wasn't oily. I would have died if I wasn't oily. I would have committed suicide if I wasn't oily. But every time the devil tried to take me out. The oil started coming out of my skin. It started coming out of my pores. It's not that you take oil and put it in. Oil comes out. The oil comes out of my spirit and kept me alive. The old folks used to say, "He's all over me and he's keeping me alive. He's all over me and he's keeping me alive. That's why the witch
didn't get me. He's keeping me Alive. That's why the sickness didn't get me. He's keeping me alive. That's why you ain't going to get me. He's keeping me alive. And if God be for you, he's more than the world against you. And I came to tell you that God is on your side. Slap your neighbor and say, "God is on your side." If your husband's not with you, if your boyfriend's not with you, if your wife is not with you, if your boss don't like you, if your cowork on you, God is on your side.
Somebody holl at it again. God is on my side. God is on my side. He's here to deliver. He's here to make a way. He's here to set you free. And the Bible said it's like the oil. Let me show you this. I'm getting excited. I'm getting excited. Y'all getting me all excited right here. Y'all get me all exciterated. I feel something about to accelerate in this place. Something is about to accelerate. Something is about to accelerate. The thing about oil is is That it will accelerate. You can put oil in a glass and turn
it into a lamp because oil will accelerate. But when he says that it fell and slid, this is teaching from acceleration to alignment. There's no need for you to be jealous of anybody. All you got to do is get in your place. And if you get in your place and stay there, the same oil that fell upon The head is going to get down to the skirts. Look at your neighbor and say, "Don't move." The devil is trying to move you out of your space. But hell is a liar. All I got to do is
stay right here. And if the oil hits the head, it's going to fall to the beards. It's going to fall to the skirts. Why would I be mad? because the oil hit the head. When I know that if I'm in alignment, the same oil that falls on you will fall on me. If I stay in alignment, if I refuse To move, if I don't give place to the devil, if having done all to stand, I just stand. If I don't run, if I don't fly, if I don't leap, if I just stand. If I stand
here, the oil is going to hit me right where I am. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you. You don't know where you're standing. You're standing in a place that if you just stand there, be still, and see the salvation of the Lord, the oil is headed your way. Touch everybody down your line and say, "The Oil is headed your way. The oil is headed your way. The oil is headed your way. The oil is headed your way. The oil is headed your way. Don't get frustrated. Don't give in. Don't give up. The oil
is headed your way. neither give place to the devil. I'm not going to give you my territory. This is my territory. God gave me this territory. And if I stay where he put me, he won't have to walk through the garden and say, "Adam, where art thou?" He wants you to stay where I left you. Because if you stay where I left you, the oil is going to fall on you. My God, who am I preaching to? The devil's trying to move you. He's trying to shake you. He's trying to break you. But the oil
is headed your way. My God, it's coming. It's coming in the balcony. It's coming in the choir stand. It's coming in the pullpit. It's falling on the elders board. It's falling on the deacons. Wherever God finds unity, the Oil is going to fall on them. All I got to do is get it in alignment. God don't care whether you black. God doesn't care whether you white. God don't care whether you brown, whether you're a millennial, whether you're Gen X, Gen Q, Gen W, Gen Z, all God cares about is that you get in unity. And
if you get in unity and stay in your place, the blessing will fall on you. The oil is not prejudice. The oil does not prefer rich people over poor people. beautiful People over ugly people. You can be as ugly as you want to, but if you stand there, the anointing will fall on you. And the Bible said he beautify the meek with salvation. God said, "I'll make you beautiful. I'll make you shine. I'll make you be bright." Who am I preaching to? Take three seconds and give God a praise right now. Just a praise. Just
a praise. Just a Praise. Just a praise. Any kind of praise. Any kind of praise. Look down your road and see if they're in an alignment. If everybody praises God on your row, something is going to happen. Uh if they get in alignment uh if they come into agreement uh the spirit is going to detonate uh in this place I feel something about to break loose in this place that the devil doesn't want. The devil is a liar. You sitting up there with your legs crossed. But if you Done cross your legs and open your
mouth and praise the Lord, I'll cut your therapist bill in half. I'll cut your psychologist bill in half. I'll get you up off of that couch. If you open your mouth and start praising God, every yoke in your life has got to break off of your life. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you. Y'all don't hear what unity will do. God's got something for you. God's got something for you. God's got something for you. God's got Something for you. God's got something for you. You think you're here on assignment, but God's got something for
you. There's something God wants to show you in this place today. If I'm preaching right, holl at your boy. [Applause] Take me back to my main scripture, Psalm 133. There's one more thing I want to get there. I'm almost done. I'm almost done. It says, "Behold how good and pleasant It is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's uh beard that went down to the skirts of his garments." Come on. It is like It is as the dew of
Herman, as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. Herman is a mountain that collected dew down at the bottom of the mountain and all kind of flowers just automatically grew because Of the descension of the dew down the mountain. In the New Testament, it was called the Mount of Transfiguration. But in the Old Testament, it is called the Mount of Hermon. It's it's a it's a mountain where God moves. Once you get in the flow, God will move. Once you get in the flow, God will move. Once you get in the flow, God
will move. If anybody gets in the flow, God will move. But but but but but I want you to see something. I want You to see something and I'll be done. I got want you to see something because you could get into Aaron's beard and get stuck and you can get into Mount Herman and Mount Zion and really teach three weeks of Bible classes talking about Mount Zion. I don't have time to do that. I want to get into this. As the do of Hermon and as the do that descended upon the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord commanded the blessing. Say that with me. For there the Lord Commanded the blessing. I want to tell you this that whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen in your life. Whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen in your life. You can stop swiping them witches on Instagram to tell you who your enemy is and who's coming back in your life. Whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen. You might as well calm down and stop trying to manipulate people and just wait on God. They that Wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. When you go to the doctor and he tells you you're sick and that you're going to die, look at him and say, "I thank you for your opinion, but whatever God commands, if God says live, I can't die. And if God says die, I can't live. I've learned whatever state I'm in to be content. Hallelujah to God. When I had My attack, I had the strangest peace you ever saw in your
life. Because my future is God's business. Do whatever you want to do. Whatever God commands, that's what's going to be done. You can get a lock of my hair, but whatever God commands, that's what's going to be done. You can try to sabotage my job, but whatever God commands, that's what's going to be done. I decree and declare in this place today that the will of God will be over your life. When God Commands it, it will be done. The centurion said, "Don't go to my house. to stand in the middle of the road and
command it. And if you command it, my servant will be healed. Whatever God commands, with a withered hand, he commanded, "Stretch forth your hand." Whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen. Lazarus had been dead so long, he was stinking, and a stone was rolled on top of him. But whatever God commands when God stood there and Said come forth, the dead man came back to life. The blood started moving through the veins. The veins start moving through the arteries. Uh the heart started pumping blood. Uh the muscles came back to life. Uh and all
of a sudden a stinking, corroding dead man started leaping. I see somebody that's been in a dead place, but God is getting ready to make you leapu. God is getting ready to make you leapu. God is getting ready to take you in a new direction. Peter was out on the boat and he said, "Lord, if it's you, bid me to come because whatever God commands, if God says come, I can walk on water. If God says come, I can get a house with bad credit. If God says come, I can get a spouse in my
old age. If God says come, I can get a miracle from the Lord. Whatever God commands, hallelujah, go on and play with your ter cards. Go on and burn your incense. Go on and do whatever you got to do. But when you get through Burning whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen in your life. Whatever God commands, uh, that's what's going to be done. Uh, I'm I'm about to close now. I'm finished. Because your life is in his mouth. And whatever he says, you going to get, you're going to get it. If God speaks
life, nobody speaking death will be able to stop you. If God speaks death, all the doctors in the world cannot bring you back. And if I had a God that whatever he commanded Was going to happen in my life and all I had to do was unify, I would get unified right now and give God a praise like I never praised him. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. As I come to a [Music] close, as I Come to a close, I started wondering what was going on in David's life. And several theologians believe that
this is the time after David had been anointed. David was anointed three times. First by Samuel to be king, second to be the king of Judah, and finally to be the king of Israel. Judah and Israel had split apart. Though they were related, they had split Apart. And David was the king of Judah. but he wasn't the king of Israel. And so what David did is he got the ark of the covenant. And he brought the ark of the covenant back, but he didn't know how to do it. That means that you can be assigned
and still not know how to do it. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you. So as he was learning how to do it, died. David got discouraged and he went and put the ark of the covenant in the house of Oed Edom. And God blessed Oed Edom so that David got jealous and said, "I got to get the ark of the covenant back." Because it's not about leading people. It's about getting you together. And the better you get at getting you together, you can get them together. So David said, "I got to get the
ark of the Covenant back, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get it back. I'm willing to dance out of my clothes. I'm willing to give up my dignity. I'm willing to look like a fool. As long as I got God's presence, the only thing I got to have, the only thing I got to have is God's presence. I ain't got to have my house. I ain't got to have no money. I ain't got to have my friends. I got to Have God's presence. and he brought God's presence back. David has Judah behind
him and Israel in front of him and he brought them back together after years of warfare. You may have had years of disunityity in your own house. Years of fighting And damage and bruise and blood and trouble. But David kept on going till he got it right. Here's the weirdest thing. David was a warrior. Hallelujah. He was known for being a warrior. He killed Goliath. He cut the four skins off a 100 Philistines and threw them at the feet of of of Saul. He snuck into Saul's tent while he was sleeping. Could have killed him
and didn't do it. David was a Warrior. David was a warrior. David was a warrior. David was a warrior. He David was bad. David would fight. David would kill you with a rock. David would kill you with anything. But something happened. Him waring wouldn't bring back the glory. [Applause] And so the warrior the warrior stopped waring and started dancing. And when he started praising God, The anointing rested. and he was able to bring him back with a praise because that was what God commanded. This is the key of David. This is the key of David.
This will unlock the door. This will make the way the the key. Let me stop Jesus. the the key of David. Mo Moses had to kill animals, turtle Doves, goats, sheep, kill them in basins, wash his hands at the labor, go to the table of shoeb bread, go past the altar of incense, and on the day of atonement, he might could get all the way into the holies of holies. David didn't kill a turtle dove, a goat, a Sheep or anything. No blood on his hands, no washing, no table of shoeb bread, no altar of
incense. David found out that I can bypass all of those commandments with a [Applause] praise. Y'all Y'all didn't hear me. Y'all didn't hear me. David found out I can bypass all of that with a praise. And the difference between the temple of David and the temple of Moses is Moses had to do everything right to get in. But David said, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise and be thankful unto him and bless his name." Because David had a key. And the key of David means that you can be in your
living room and if you start praising God, God will come in between the couch and the chair and manifest himself because that is the Key of David. Now I'm through. I'm through. But I got one thing I got to do. I got to do it. I got to do it. I got to do it. I got to do it. I want to know if you're going to take your key home or if you're going to use your key right now to unlock a door. I want to know how many people have got the key of
David. Because if you got the key of David, whatever God commands is going to come to pass. It Will come. It shall come. It must come. It's got to come. Use your key. Use your key. Use your key. Not your sister's key. Not your brother's key. Use your key. [Applause] [Music] Lift your hands up. I surrender to unity. [Music] I will Curb and curve to fit into where you want me to be. I will trust you to set me in the place that I fit jointly to be a habitation unto the Lord. And whatever it
takes, whatever it takes, I just want your spirit to fall fresh on me. Now, whatever you command, you command, Whatever you say, whatever I got to do, Lord. Whatever you're doing in this earth, don't do it without me. [Applause] Whatever Whatever Whatever you're doing in this place, don't do it. Don't do it. [Music] Don't do it Without me. [Music] Don't do it. Don't do it without me. Don't do it without me, Lord. Whatever. [Music] Lord, [Applause] whatever you do in the season. Don't do it without me. Don't do it without Don't do it without me.
Don't do it. Don't do it with me. Don't do it Without me. Don't do it. Don't do it, Lord. Lord, whatever you're doing in this season, don't do it without me. Don't do it without me. Say it again. Lord, whatever. Oh Lord, Lord, whatever whatever you're doing in the season, don't do it without me. Don't do it without me, Lord. Whatever you're doing in this Season, don't do it without me. Don't do it without me. One more time. Lord, whatever you're doing, whatever you're doing in this season, don't do it without me. [Music] Don't do
it without me. I'm almost finished. You all know for years I have been talking about it it may not work out the way I plan it But but I get on my knees and pray and I plan my life in decades. How many of you remember me saying that not days but but decades because major moves take time. It may look like it was suddenly, but you don't know what the background work was. About six years ago, I started talking to Pastor Toré and Pastor Sarah because I did not want all that I had spent
my life and your life and our lives building to get old. and go with us. This is a generational [Applause] and even though she was busy doing woman evolve and he was busy pastoring one LA about four years ago they moved out here just in time for God has a sense of Humor. He throws you in the water and then says swim. So for the last four years they have been swimming. I talked to the board because I was concerned. I have seen too many men build something and stay so long that they kill what
they build. What you got to understand is it's not so important that you just know when to Grab a hold. It's knowing when to let go. Now, there's some other things that I'm assigned to do both here and and outside, but I cannot afford, especially after November, to risk something happening to me. And you be sheep without a shepherd. [Applause] I cannot afford to let all the work of all the Saints living and dead to hold this so tight so long that I wither away. So I'm suggesting to you, I'm recommending to you that you
receive. Pastor Tore and Pastor [Applause] Sarah. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. [Applause] This is legacy. [Applause] Not because they're kin, but because they're they're the kind. They've immersed themselves into the DNA of this church. for years, sat quiet, preached. But you didn't know from November Forward, they've been running the church anyway. [Applause] Now, they're not meant to replace me because nobody can. [Applause] But if they step into this position, they may extend me. [Applause] There's some things I want to do in the community before I get too old
to do it. And the clock is ticking. There's some ways that I want to prepare us for the days ahead that I can't do it completely from the pullpit. Every now and then I think they'll let me preach, but but there's some some work in the vineyard that needs to be done. And I want you to see it like this. Jesus said, "If a man is cold, Don't give him a sermon. Give him a coat. If he's hungry, feed him." We have always done that. [Applause] We're about to take it to the next level. [Applause]
And we are going to be a multi-racial, multi-generational Interdenominational Church of the Living God. [Applause] One man plants. [Applause] Another man waters. But only God gives the increase. Just like they can't be me, I can't be them. I came to plant. I think I planted pretty good. [Applause] This this September I will have been planting for 48 years. I'm I'm coming up on 50 in in a year and a half, two years, 50 years of ministry. We need fresh vision, fresh blood. We need the ability as the world changes to technology and TV slides Backwards.
And like it or not, and some things I like about it, some things I don't, the world is changing. Now, at ILS, our theme was the changing of the guard. I'm thinking probably by the church anniversary we're going to formalize. But I wanted to introduce to you your pastors. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Yes, sir. I know. I know you might be a little scared. I know you might feel the weight sliding from my head to you. I know the crown is heavy, but I also know that if God is for you, [Applause] who can be against
you? [Applause] And as long as I can, I'll be somewhere in the shadows on the stage wherever you need me to make this vision come to pass. What What say ye to this moment? [Applause] sir. Okay. It's hard to put into words, but we feel deeply honored That that God and you. Yeah. Knowing how much you love Yeah. Knowing how much you love the people that have been assigned to you, how deeply you love them, and how you don't play when it comes to them, as you have evidenced and proven for decades. [Applause] It is
not something take lightly. It Transparently. Come on, baby. The few people. Come on, baby. Mom, I didn't get here by myself. [Applause] Let's celebrate y'all. Let's celebrate. [Applause] [Music] So we stand on solid ground and a sure foundation and we will honor It, respect it. The scripture says that you ought to be careful about how you build on another man's foundation. And so we we will build on it with humility, with prayer, with integrity, with holiness, with sacrifice, and we'll become everything that we have to become. will curve, we'll shape, we'll stretch and be everything
that we have to be in order to take your legacy and Your legacy to the the level that God envisions. We're honored. We're honored. I think we can all agree that this isn't exactly how we saw my life panning out. Um, I saw my parents um sacrifice their lives for this church. [Applause] I saw them give their Bodies and their strength. And I know you guys are so tired. You had a heart attack on stage and still asked for the microphone so that they would be okay over you. I know what this cost. And if
I'm honest, I've been wondering whether or not I have what it takes to do it the way that you guys have done it or to take it even further. But then God showed me that you all didn't always know if you had what It took either. but that God gave you GPS to find what it took to stand up to the assignment. And I believe that the same God that has ordered your steps to find what it took to stand up in any given moment is going to order our steps to find what it takes
to stand up to whatever's on the other side of this. Yes. My commitment to you and our commitment to you is that we will seek God every Step of the way. [Applause] That we will pay the price to lead this community and that we will make decisions not just with you in mind but with the people who haven't even come into this room in mind. I believe that collectively that we could turn this city upside down and right side up and that what happens in Dallas will overflow and saturate the state of Texas. And when
the state of Texas can't Hold it anymore, Oklahoma, get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. And when Oklahoma gets to the overflow, you better move over Nevada. I believe that this nation will be changed by the collective anointing. Not just because of what we carry, but because of what we carry in unity and collectively. And so I am asking that you would bring your oil into this room. That you would bring your vision into this Room. And if you're nervous like me or anxious like me, that's okay cuz together we'll do it in strength.
[Applause] There was this moment when Mary Magdalene was at the tomb and found out that it was empty and the angel of the Lord came to her and said, "What you're looking for, he's not here. He's risen." And he gave her a message to go and tell the disciples. And it says that she went with great Fear and joy. Whenever we're moving from one season to a next, sometimes we do it with great fear. because we don't know how we'll deliver the message. We don't know if they'll receive us. We don't know whether or not
we'll be ready. We don't know what God's going to do in that season. But what God has highlighted to me is the great joy part. And I believe that we can do this with not just fear and respect and honor, but that we can Do this with radical joy. Because you all have gone ahead of us and made our crooked path straight. And you have been a good shepherd and a good steward. And what you have placed in the earth will not fail. No. But generation after generation after generation will declare the works of the
Lord. Thank you for letting us build this on your shoulders. As your pastor elect, co-pastor, co- senior pastor elect, I'm grateful. I'm honored. as your doctor. I'm so happy you gonna get some rest. Yeah. Yeah. [Applause] There's a a promise in scripture that speaks to what will happen before the return of the Lord and it's in Malachi chapter 4 somewhere around verse four or five. Read your whole Bible, you'll find it. But it says that God will turn the hearts before that day. One of the last few things in scripture that God will Turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children first. This is the sequence that God will begin to turn one generation, the hearts of the fathers to the children. The fathers will initiate it which will in fact turn the hearts of the children to the father. And there is the imagery of the generations walking together. Each group supplying one supplying wisdom, Strength, experience, the other providing supplying innovation, energy and vitality. And as those two come together, we will see fruit unlike anything we have ever seen before. So, thank you and you and you for initiating what it's
going to take to get it done. What say ye? [Applause] Some of our board members are in the Room when I shared the vision before they even came. I didn't even see then, but I see now. See, the Roberts are a blended family. and a blended family is hard to make fit. And the potter's house is a blended family. [Applause] This is a beautiful moment for me. [Applause] I've been preaching since I was 19. scared to death, but unbelievably relentless. There were times I wish I had been home. I was on the road. I felt
like it was my job and my calling to build something that I had never seen. [Applause] Under my leadership, this church owns 1,000 acres of Land. Our borders are protected. We have had an integrity. Everything we said we were going to do, we did it. And we built it right here in South Dallas. [Applause] There's more to do, but I want to pace myself. [Music] Now I have a choice. I want to say thank you. [Applause] To my leaders, to my staff, to our pastors, [Applause] to our elders and our musicians and our PMTs. And
our volunteers, you have been faithful to God. Oh my. And you have been faithful to me. Yes. I'm so grateful. Thank you. [Applause] I never counted on anybody standing by me so that you would never have the disappointment of them walking away. You fool me. I love you for it. [Applause] Thank you for being an amazing woman. We buried our parents Here. We raised our children here. We gave our lives here. You never complain. You might have fussed a little bit, but uh I could have never been me without you. [Applause] You're absolutely amazing. [Applause]
Okay, y'all. Not going to matter crying all day As Let's Let's go. While we can't while I can before my glasses fall completely up. Yes, sir. You got this. Yes, sir. Come on. [Applause] Whatever little voices that pop up in your head at 2:00 in the morning to tell you you're not enough. They're lying to you. Come on. You haven't began to unear hallelujah. Who you are. You need to begin to unearth it cold mind. Hallelujah. You're just getting started. [Applause] Thank you for for letting me keep you over a little bit. I I wanted
to share it and we we we started not to do it this way, but the thing that moved me Was I wanted to share it with our e church. [Applause] Well, I guess we ought to go home. Please, please be good to our people. [Music] [Applause] Please help them. The humility that you see is real. The weight is Unbelievable. The demands are endless and the times are the darkest I have ever seen. Intercessors, cover my babies. [Applause] Before this turns into an absolute funeral, would everybody please stand? Uh, you still on the job? I'm still
on the job. You going to drain them last six months, ain't you? Seven months, Whatever. [Applause] Do you know how I was afraid of letting God down and letting you down and even to miss a service would make me sick because somebody might need me and even when I was dying in my last breath, I was blessing you. And if I died blessing you, I was okay with it. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. [Applause] this house. I love you. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling, present us faish
before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. To the only wise God, our father be Glory, dominion, power, world without end in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Listen, the Potter's House isn't just a place, it's a movement. Family, we are so much better when we come together. And today, we're inviting you to be a part of something bigger. When you sew a seed, you're planting the future of hope, healing, and change. In times of uncertainty, the house Stands strong. And because of you, it keeps standing
for others. Your giving isn't just generosity, it's ministry. And what you sow today will be the miracle someone is praying for. [Music] If this message spoke to you and if you're ready to step into faith, if you believe in what God is doing here, don't wait. Sew a seed. Move in faith. Every gift, every act of generosity fuels this Mission and brings us closer to reaching the lives that need it the most.
