[Music] my text is Matthew 4 verse 1-1 I am in the new King James version Jesus has emerged after 18 years of us not knowing exactly what he was doing or where he was he has been baptized by John in Chapter 3 The Heavens have been opened to him and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove instead of going right into preaching and right into ministering and healing in chapter 4 tells us that he was led up by the spirit Into the Wilderness to be tempted by the devil he had to go through a process
before he could be released my subject for today is pushed through it tells me that when he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights afterward he was hungry now when the tempter came to him he said if you are the Son of God command that these stones become bread in verse four continues it says that he answered and said it is written men shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God then the devil took him up into the holy city set him on the Pinnacle of the
temple and said to him if you are the Son of God throw yourself down for it is written he shall give his angels charge over you and in their hands they shall bear you up L you dash your foot against the stone serpent using the Satan using scripture against the word and Jesus said to him it is written again you shall not tempt the Lord your God again the devil took him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory and he said said to him all
these things I will give you if you will fall down and worship me then Jesus said to him away with you Satan for it is written you shall Worship the Lord your God and him Only You Shall Serve then the devil left him and behold Angels Came and ministered to him Spirit of the Living God I need you we need you god without you this life is hard difficult and we often feel oppressed but God with you when your spirit abides in us when your spirit leads us the impossible becomes possible nerves don't matter anxiety
don't matter generational curses don't matter all that matters is that you are with us leading us and guiding us and so God I am praying that this will be a moment where your presence is visible where your presence is tangible where it is undeniable that you have heard their prayers that you have looked past their excuses and that you want to walk with them anyway God Rest in this place is only you can do make it intimate make it personal make it lifechanging feed me in the process fill me as you fill them that I
may not pour out and leave empty but that I too would leave more full than I came have your way great God that you are in Jesus name amen amen I um have been looking at different their memes I was just going to say I was studying but I'm going just be honest I saw a meme on Instagram um which in a way is studying I saw this graphic on Instagram and in it it was asking you about different attachment Styles I don't know if anyone has heard of these attachment Styles or if they've seen
some of the same Graphics that I've seen but I went from Instagram into Google to further my research and in the process of researching I learned that the theory of attachment style started in the 50s and these theories of attachment style basically studied groups of children they took a group of children and their parents put them in an environment and then had the parents leave the children and what they wanted to study is how the children responded to separation they wanted to understand not only how they responded to separation but also how they how they
responded when they were reunited with their parents as a result of that three different attachment Styles became evident the first one was Secure attachment children who were securely attached to their parents experienced discomfort when separated but when their parents came back into the room they were easily comforted and were able to assume some sense of normaly pretty quickly then there was another group and this group was anxiously attached the anxiously attached child when reunited with their parent they did receive comfort from their parent but they also punished them a bit for being gone was almost
as if they weren't well adjusted enough to understand that though I left you I'll be right back and you don't have to be afraid that I'll leave again and so instead of engaging with health they also engageed with this sense of punishment because how could you leave me then there was another form of attachment this was avoidant attachment when their parents left the room they seem to not care didn't seem to affect them the same thing also happened when their parents came back into the room they made no effort to be comforted by them they
made it seem like they were okay as a matter of fact these children went out of their way to continue playing with toys as if to let the parent know I'm going to avoid you so that I don't have to experience whatever it is I'm not able to communicate or verbalize in this moment it has been said that these attachment styles that were developed when we are children also show up in our relationships that means that when someone doesn't pick up the phone when you call them they can't just be busy they got to be
playing you who you think I am what you think this is what you was at work work you had a meeting you didn't see me calling you you you giving me anxious attachment right now I know some of you all don't do that cuz you're so saved and filled with the Holy Ghost what you do instead is ignore him I'll never talk to you again one miss call that's it boom lose my number don't play with my phone I got minutes and you trying to waste them now I got to take my minutes back from
you avoid you all together you done blocked them on Instagram she can't come over with your friends no more I don't know if it's true or not that these attachments sty show up in our adult relationships I haven't done this science and I am not a doctor but one thing I do know is that I have seen these attachment Styles at minimum show up in scripture not necessarily in a parental Dynamic but in our relationship with God uhoh the beauty of scripture is that it allows us the opportunity to watch how God engages with other
people it gives us an indication of his character the way that one person acts in one relationship though the nuances of the relationship may be different ultimately how they act in one relationship you can expect them to act similarly in other relationships because their response in relationship is indicative of their character so when I'm studying scripture I'm seeing how God engages with others so I can understand how God engages with me when I look at this attachment Theory with scripture in mind I see that in the garden when Adam and Eve first began their relationship
with God there was a sense of secure attachment see it's difficult to really understand what it was like to be Adam and Eve because even when Moses saw the face of God his face Shone so brightly that he had to cover it but for Adam and Eve all they knew was this visible tangible presence of God there was no barrier there was no need for Jesus there was no church God created him God pulled Eve out of his rib there was connection there it was nothing for God to be walking through the garden and talking
to them and there was an element of secure attachment you see now we have all of these different issues and blockages in our relationship with God so we need to be reminded that he'll never leave us nor forsake us we need to be reminded that even though we don't see him he's working this is our issue this is not the issue that Adam and Eve had because they were securely attached so securely attached are they is that even though God was visible and then invisible they still knew that he was present even though they couldn't
see them what happened in the garden though when they experience this separation this shift in their secure separation happens when God is in one of those invisible moments and this invisible moment though we know he is all present it's not always that we understand or see his presence even though it's there and Adam and Eve well Eve bless her heart got in trouble because of what happen in those moments where it looks like God is invisible in this moment where it looked like God was invisible the serpent exploited an opening when you're in this room
the devil can't really get too busy there's too to much power in this room too much anointing in this room that's why you can come into this room depressed and all of a sudden your body is not even hurting the way that it was hurting before you came into this room because when you come into a room like this there is so much anointing there is so much obvious presence of God that whatever War the enemy is waging on you doesn't even matter in this room because your plane has been elevated what we have to
worry about is what happens when we get out of this room when we get out of this room and out of this atmosphere and out of this presence there are openings if you look back at your life at the moments where maybe you made a mistake or you were victimized or you were hurt or you found yourself caught up and sinning it wasn't that you were doing it because you were high in the presence of God it wasn't that it happened because you were full of the word and you were full of the spirit it
happened because there was an opening that's why you got to be careful when there's an opening in your life you can't just be disappointed you got to know I'm disappointed and because I'm disappointed I'm probably a little bit more open than I should be I'm not just going through a heartbreak my heartbreak is open and the enemy is looking to exploit where you are open because if I can find an opening I can create a separation and if I can create a separation I can change the way you see God and I can change the
way you see you the enemy is looking for an opening he told God in Job that he was searching the Earth to and fr I'm looking for an opening I'm looking for somebody who would just that's why you got to be careful who's in your life cuz I got to make sure you're not an opening who left the gate open who I feel like I'm in War I got to make sure when I start going through Warfare that I'm checking what's happening in my circle who's standing guard because I can't let you be an opening
because I understand the assignment on my life is so powerful that the enemy will stop stop at nothing to thwart it and if you are an opening I got to move out of the way because I know I'm a Target I know this is not everyone's message but there are some people in this room who knows that they are a Target because you cannot break a generational curse unless you are a Target you cannot set out to change an industry and not become a Target you want to change the world but you don't want to
be a Target and I'm just telling you it is impossible to change anything and not be a Target and when you are a Target you got to check all the doors when you are a Target you got to check all of the openings some of us praise God for the doors that he opened I praise God for the doors that he closed because some of these doors were openings some of these friendships were openings some of these heartbreaks were openings some of those friends that you love that walked away were actually an opening I thank
God that it didn't work out because I called it love you called it an opening I caught it an opportunity you caught it an opening I caught it a breakthrough you caught it an opening and I'mma cry my tears but I'mma trust my God because if he didn't give it to me it must be that if he gave it to me it would have crushed me so I thank you God that you didn't give me everything I was open for cuz if You' have gave me everything I was open for then I wouldn't even be
here right now I wish I had about 10 people in this room who didn't get everything they were open for I was open open to settle I was open for breakthrough I was open I was so open that I found myself strung out I was so open that I should have been in jail I was so open that I ended up in jail I was so open but my God my God my God my God close the opening my [Applause] God thank you God that you're closing doors thank you God that you're still closing doors
I know everybody wants you to open them but God I thank you it might be lonely but the do is closed I may not know what's next but I know the door is closed I may not know what's coming up behind me but I know it ain't nothing that's going to chase me out of my position cuz you Clos the door there's something powerful about knowing that the Red Sea closed the moment that they walked on through because God says I know how to shut it down [Music] God told me right now in this moment
that the thing you're crying about wasn't opening God told me right now in this moment the thing that you're grieving wasn't opening God says that when you get finished crying over it and I get finished showing you why it couldn't work out you'll see that if I have blessed you with that you'll see that if I would have gave you that thing that you could never become this thing so so you need to praise God even in the midst of you trying to figure out what's happening cuz God says I wouldn't just hurt you to
hurt [Music] you we have to hear that though because if we're honest we don't always feel securely attached anymore in those moments where there's a sep separation from my plan and his plan and my will and his will I don't feel attached anymore I feel a little anxiously attached like God I want to punish you by not worshiping all the way I want to punish you by not serving all the way I want to punish you a little bit cuz I don't trust that you're going to stay I want to be comforted but I also
want to punish you I want to avoid you all together and so we need to be reminded that we can be attached securely to his plan because if we are not attached securely we are open and the enemy exploits openings s down we just we just talking sin was not the opening the sin was not that they were open the sin was what they did when they were open that's why when David says search my heart I don't really know who I am when I'm open maybe I'm bitter maybe I am hard to be connected
with I don't really know who I am when I'm open and the thing is about being open is that sometimes that stress breaks US Open sometimes disappointment breaks US Open we got to understand those areas in our lives where we experience those separations because when the enemy exploits it we think often that the problem with what happened with Eve in the garden is when she ate from the fruit and that is not what the problem is the problem started and she told us out of her own mouth in Genesis 3 she says the serpent deceived
me and then I ate the serpent found an opening and he did not give her a command he gave her a thought I don't have to tell you to sin I don't have to tell you to betray yourself I don't have to tell you to give up on your destiny the serpent doesn't even have to tell you to kill yourself he just has to give you a thought that this world would be better without you in it I just have have to give you a thought your thought life is more powerful sometimes than even your
prayer life because your thought life if you don't get a hold of it real good then you'll end up in a situation where the thoughts of the enemy have taken root and produce fruit in your life and then when you recognize that your thought life is under attack you go into your prayer closet with a different strategy God I don't need you to change I need you to help me get my head together God I'm about to walk away from the very thing that you called me to cuz something got in my head I got
to be careful in certain Seasons because you in my head oh God the one place you cannot be is in my head because I'm trying to be transformed in my mind if I let you in my head my mind is so malleable that it could turn in the direction of Destiny or it could turn in the direction of Destruction and all of a sudden I'll go from thinking I'm called and anointed to thinking that there is there's no use for my voice in the world all of a sudden I think that I can do this
but because you got in my [Applause] head get out of their head get out of their minds God we claim it back we lay it at the altar sometimes I got to lay my spirit out sometimes I got to lay my mind out my mind is telling me that I'm not fearfully and wonderfully made my mind is telling me that the weapons has prospered my mind is trying trying to tell me that there is no use for me but Satan I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Satan I serve you in eviction notice we
don't have to wait till the end of a sermon to get to an altar call I hear God saying I'll call out your mind right now I want to talk to somebody whose mind has been playing tricks on you I want to talk to somebody whose mind has been making you think that you are not called and anointed for your destiny your mind is making you believe that the gift doesn't matter your mind is making you believe that you cannot break the generational curse but I came here to tell [Music] you let this mind be
in you that was also in Christ Jesus I feel like going to war in this place I got on this dress and I'm trying to be pretty but I feel like going to war with the mind of oh God baby scriptures says that the weapons of our Warfare are not carnal but they are Mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds that word stronghold actually means a fortified argument that means that the weapons of our Warfare are not carnal but they are Mighty through God for the pulling down of fortified arguments ever since you
was little they've been in your head that argument is so fortified but I came here to tell you I got a weapon stronger than the argument I got a weapon stronger than what they said I got a weapon for that I got a prayer for that I got a worship for that I got a Jesus for that I know what you said about me but do you know what Jesus did for me Jesus did something that a V can Uno Jesus did [Music] something [Music] [Applause] [Music] see Warfare Warfare Jesus Jesus okay oh God that's
why the serpent has to get in your head cuz if he gets in your head he can separate you and if he can separate you from God he can separate you from you you don't even know who you are that's why I had to attack your mind when you were young cuz if I started when you're young you may not ever find out who you really are but I thank God that he still closed his doors because even though you got me when I was young God says I'mma close the door but then I'mma open
the door so I can show them anyway I'mma show them with an Open Door who they are I'mma show you with an open Open Door what I think about you your thoughts are not my thoughts and I thank God for that your ways are not my ways [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right this what happens right the serpent separated them the enemy separated you with one thought two thoughts echoed by people who had their own thoughts [Applause] I still got a long way to go so I don't Adam and Eve are in the garden and they've been
separated and what they do with this separation is what so many of us do they move into an avoid an attack [Music] they say to themselves I'mma just keep pushing through I'mma avoid who I should have been I'm going to avoid what I should have done and I'm going just push through what they call pushing through is actually pushing away [Music] they got their fig leaves but when God is walking through the cool of the garden and he asks where are you it lets us know that they were avoiding having to be in relationship with
God but they were not avoiding being in the place that God had put them I wish I could say that you see some some of you are patting yourself on the back cuz you're still in the vicinity even though you aren't in [Applause] position I'm attached but I'm not connected the way I once was I'm in the marriage but I'm not connected the way I'm just pushing through in the business but I'm not connected I'm just pushing through but you're not pushing through you're actually pushing away because pushing through requires an element of Confrontation and
if you think pushing through is how can I avoid it or how can I punish it then you never are offered the opportunity to be secure again because you're pushing away and not through and God gave me this message yes he yes he did because he told me that we are coming into a point in the Earth where we need people who understand the difference between pushing through and pushing away God help me he showed me that until we're willing to have a confrontation with what happened to us when we were separated that we cannot
become secure enough to be in position man everyone talks about how Martha was so busy that she couldn't serve Jesus well Martha was so busy that she couldn't receive from Jesus so busy serving that she couldn't receive they don't give her enough credit however for when her brother was dead and she was the first one to come up to Jesus and she said to him had you been here my brother would not have died she got confrontational with Jesus because it is better to be confrontational than to avoid him all together you see some of
us are in here not because everything is going the way we want it to we're in here because I need to have a conference ation because I trusted you and I want to understand can you bring this thing back to life I want to understand what your next plan is for me some of us came in here to celebrate others of us came in here to have a confrontation because Martha says I got to push through what I'm feeling right now so that I can have a confrontation with Jesus she's confronting him because connection is
more important than separation and God cannot Comfort what you will not confront can't fix it in the marriage I can't fix it in your mindset I can't fix it in the kids if you don't confront it I can't Comfort it I know you're insec cure and I know you want everyone to think that you have it all together but I'm telling you I cannot Comfort it if you are not willing to confront it because that same Jesus told Martha that your brother is going to live and she says no he's not alive but he could
have been alive I know that you're still able and he says listen you jumped the gun if you just stay in this tension with me you'll see that I have a plan outside of this this element of Confrontation requires that we push through instead of pushing away no one got anything done in the Bible without pushing through not avoiding it going right up the gut of it that's so country you got to go right up the gut of this thing you got to face it head on you say greater is he that is in you
than he that is in the world but if you don't put that greatness in a position to be great then how can you ever understand that greatness is working on your behalf you got to push through the woman with the issue of blood had to push through blind bmus had to push through there are people in this room who've had to push through and push through it wasn't that it was easy but I pushed my way through I had to lose a few friends I had to have some hard conversations but I pushed through because
I believe that on the other side of my push was a miracle I believe that on the other side of my push was God's presence I believe that on the other side of that push was a new revelation of my identity and who I am in God I didn't just get up here I pushed my way through somebody else may have strolled but God I'm pushing my way I'm pressing my way towards the Mark it's not easy for me to do it but I'm pushing not just for what I want but what I'm pushing for
is connected to God's presence when we find Jesus in the text he is pushed through Jesus he was 12 years old in the temple but Luke tells us that when Mary had Jesus that he grew in wisdom and stature and favor with God and Men you don't get wisdom and stature and favor with God and Men unless you push through some things I have to tell you I find this fascinating because I think we have done such a good job at exalting the Divinity of Jesus that we miss out on what makes him our kinsman
redeemer that he like you had to grow with wisdom and stature and favor with God and Men he had to push through some immaturity Mary had to go back and get him he had to push through understanding who he was in the context of the world he had to push through 18 years of something before he could even be used he had to push through some things and yet when we find him in the text this push is different this push is a defining push I believe God gave me this message because there is someone
and maybe it's just me standing at one of the most pivotal pushes in their life they're having to push through in a way that they've never had to push through before this push is different because if Jesus pushes through this moment it's going to break open a damn if Jesus pushes through this moment it's going to establish his ministry this is not the same push of a 12y old boy this is a push of a 30y old man this is a push that will determine whether or not he can be the Savior this is the
push that will determine whether or not he's qualified for the call this is the push that will determine if the devil that got Adam and Eve will be the devil that got him this is the push that will break the generational curse this is the push I don't know who you are but I wanted to let you know that this is the push that's going to Define your family this is the push that is going to Define how you connect and how you engage this this push oh God Adam and Eve are in the garden
with the serpent in Genesis Jesus is in the wilderness with Satan and Matthew from the outside looking in the scene probably looks the same but before Jesus could step into his call he had to fight a devil that wasn't even his own cuz he had to let the devil know that you cannot use the same trick on me that you used on them I'm not going to let you in my head some of you are not even fighting your own devil some of you are fighting the devil of those who came before you but I
hear God saying you had to fight them now so that when I release you that devil would know as you took your first step that this is not the same kind of woman this is not the same kind of man I got to use something different cuz I'm not going to let the same thing that took them out it's not the same you can't step into Destiny until you pass the test of defeating a devil that don't even belong to you you cannot step into Destiny until you pass the test of recognizing what this is
this is not about you this is about Devils that were here before you but baby when they ran into you they ran into a prop [Applause] yeah when Satan when Satan ran up on Jesus Jesus was armed cuz he already knew the devil's tricks he already knew he wanted in his head he already knew he wanted him to stumble you better study that generation curse you want to break if you don't study it you don't know where the openings [Applause] [Music] are you [Music] know Jesus the good Jewish boy that he was understood what happened
in the garden so before he could launch his ministry he had to defeat the devil that was there before he said yes oh God you right there have been Devils waiting for you to get in position you are right all hell is breaking loose I've been waiting for you to get here said the devil but the devil didn't know I was waiting to get here too I was waiting I was I was waiting to get here too I've been in my word I've been in my prayer I was I've been waiting for this cuz the
weapons of my Warfare are not Cardinal but they are Mighty through I was waiting I fasted for this I prayed for this I was waiting on you I got a word for I got here that you were on the way [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I [Music] was I was waiting we almost done we got to go Jesus was waiting on them I fasted for this I prayed for this I already know what you do but I already know who I am he didn't just run up on the devil he had the Holy Ghost how could
the Son of God need the Holy Spirit to fall on him cuz even the son of God needed the spirit of God to fall on him because the devil he had to fight was going to require everything he had and things he didn't even know he had [Music] you [Applause] [Applause] [Music] okay so what we see in this text is the serpant Satan the devil and Jesus having an exchange of words unlike the woman who tried to reason with the devil Jesus lets him talk his talk but every time he gave a word Jesus gave
a better [Applause] word I hate to sound like a church mother cuz I'm not there yet I got 20 more years till my church air but I'm telling you the most powerful thing about this this book is when you run out of words this book has a better word when you don't know what to say back to those thoughts this book has a better word it's one thing to hear a scripture it's another thing to proclaim a scripture over your life it is the same power that raised Jesus from the grave in between these pages
so when I can't say nothing at all I get me a word [Music] I'm fearfully and wonderfully made no weapon formed against me will prosper I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread though he slay me yet shall I trust in him who is the king of glory the lord God strong and mighty [Applause] [Music] okay we about to take the roof off this place we about to take the roof off this place somebody about to get in position Jesus okay tell you this [Music] [Applause] the devil the devil tries three
things I'm about to close we going home he tries three things when trying to tempt Jesus he tries to exploit the area where he's hungry he said if you are the Son of God turn this Stone into bread you got to know where you're hungry your hunger is an opening hungry for attention that's an opening hungry for affirmation that's an opening the sin isn't being open the sin is not knowing where you are open because if you don't know where you are open you may act from that openness Jesus doesn't say I'm not hungry he
doesn't act like it's not there no I am hungry I am lonely I did think I'd have someone by now I did think that the business would have worked out I did think that I'd be in a better position I'm not going to act like I'm not hungry but men shall not live by bread alone [Applause] but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God I don't have to pretend that I am not in order to still be who I am I wish I [Applause] could next thing he does is he tries
to tempt him through his curiosity he says throw yourself from this building so that we can see whether or not the word is true that his angels will uphold you Jesus says it is written that I shall not tempt the Lord thy God your curiosity is not the place for the random expenditure of your power oh God Jesus recognized that his power was not to be used frivolously it was not for me to just throw out and throw around that's the problem with so many of us our power has become so common that it has
no power at all now but when you recognize that your power has an assignment I can't just use these words to tear someone down and build them up because I understand the power of life and death is in my tongue I don't just use my power frivolously can you make room for my anointing in this friendship can you make room for who I'm called to be in God cuz I can't have the random expenditure of my power last thing that he temps Jesus with is acceleration he says if you Bow Down and Worship me I'll
give you all the kingdoms of the world he's going to be the king of kings so he's not really tempting him with something that he won't already have access to what he is tempting him with is to accelerate the process by skipping the pain [Applause] what if I told you there is not an easier way out it costs what it costs and if he has your name on it even if you are in pain it doesn't strip your name off of it oh I wish I could say that better don't let acceleration tempt you into
abusing your worship you see he was engaging with Satan and speaking a better word until Satan tried to get him to abuse his worship it's one thing for me to abuse my power it is another thing for me to abuse My Worship where I start worshiping where I'm going to be instead of the god who's going to be with me every step of the way you can have a lot of things the enemy has stolen my time the enemy has stolen my thoughts the enemy has stolen my confidence the enemy has stolen my esteem but
the one thing the enemy cannot have is My Worship I used to worship my pain I used to worship my shame but everything changed in my life where I said I shall not worship anyone but the Lord my God and he didn't just change his worship he used his power to rebuke the enemy it would be powerful if I rebuked him on your behalf but there is something more powerful about you getting in control of your own life and saying get away from me Satan I rebuke you in the name of Jesus you cannot have
my worship you cannot have my praise you cannot have my mind you cannot have my heart [Music] he had to push through he had to push through there to get it done he had to push through to make the difference but once he pushed through when he finally got down to the end the final push is the push that made all of the difference and Jesus said to him away with you Satan for it is written you shall Worship the Lord Lord your God and him Only You Shall Serve when he said away with you
Satan my Bible tells me that the devil left him immediately you see you've been talking to the devil for too long we already get what he's trying to do yes we get it yes you all big and bad yes we know you came to kill still and Destroy yes I'm sitting at a funeral for the life I thought I would have but I'm not going to keep company with the devil Sleeping with the Enemy was a movie baby [Music] [Applause] the most okay we really got to go the most powerful thing to me the most
powerful thing about this message was that Jesus demonstrated for us what it requires to push through that which stands in the way of us not just I don't want to say experiencing breakthrough but the pushes that will allow for everything connected to us that we see and cannot see God help me to say this [Music] properly on the other side of this push there were 12 disciples on the other side of this push there were 5,000 hungry people on the other side of this push I'm sorry this is my word cuz I'm one of those
crazy people who believe that on the other side of my push that there's a space that God has called me to occupy that only I can occupy and we see Jesus pushing again similarly at the Garden of jiny because at that push he's headed towards the cross this is another pivotal push because in this push once he's on the cross and he's resurrected then the Holy Spirit comes and that Holy Spirit is now available to us I don't know who you are but I want you to understand that maybe just maybe what you have been
experiencing as resistance maybe that thing that you're trying to push away from is actually the thing you need to confront and in pushing through this thing perhaps what you need to understand is that it's not about you feeling strong when you push it's not about you feeling capable or able it's about you understanding that when you open yourself up for the spirit of God to fall on you and in you that that resistance has an expiration date and it is important that you push through it because once you recognize that you can push through hell
and come out on the other side side hell cannot taunt you any longer I don't know what pushing looks like for you maybe it is going to therapy maybe it is taking care of your health I don't know what pushing ISS for you maybe it is finally assessing that business and determining what strategy needs to be in place I don't know what you need to push through but what I do know is this is that you cannot push without the wind of the Holy Ghost and as I prepare to send you out to push you
out I want to give you 30 seconds of reclaiming your worship 30 seconds of not allowing your trouble to be what you worship and I know you don't think you worship your trouble it's not like you're like oh God you know my oh Lord I Thank you so much for my trouble or trouble trouble it's not that it's when you put your trouble your concern your worry above what God can do abusing your worship is when you spend more time focusing on what's going wrong than you do on who can make all things new you'll
know it's you'll know you're abusing your worship when your focus is shifted more towards what's happening on this level than trusting that God is working it out on this level I don't know who you are in this room but if you have been restricted by fear you have been traumatized by your past you cannot not see beyond the generational devils in your family maybe you're spending too much time focusing on it so much so that it has created a throne in your life and when fear says you can't you don't and when shame says you
won't you don't the thoughts that keep you from creating the thoughts that keep you from innovating the thoughts that are keeping you from healing thinking that it's too late thinking that it doesn't matter if you are obedient to those things you cannot be obedient to God too and we don't know what the outcome will be but we can know who our God is and I just want to offer somebody who's been in this Whirlwind of worshiping negative thoughts worshiping thoughts that the enemy has planted worshiping shame and regret worshiping inadequacy worshiping doubt so much so
that you are paralyzed and cannot move I just want you to begin lifting your heart towards the Lord some of you than may not even know what that looks like than but it can be as simple as thank you Lord God I need you thank you Jesus God is so good thank you Lord that you can say stuff like God if you don't even have to be sure you don't even have to be sure God if if you see me if you hear me God says I'll meet you right where you are seek and you
will find knocking out answer you can knock and not be sure that he's even in the room but because you finally came to a place where you're seeking God says I'll show you where I am in the midst of it all God I need you God I worship you God God I do believe you are the creator of all things I just don't know what you're creating out of this God I do believe that you are able to do exceedingly and abundantly God I believe I believe that you are a miracle worker God I believe
that you are a way maker God I believe that you are the great I am God I'm sorry that I've been putting other gods before you God I'm sorry that I've been worshiping this circumstance God it hurt me I ain't going to lie God I don't feel attached to you the way that I once did I'm afraid that you'll hurt me but not giving me the thing that I need God I'm afraid that if I actually come into alignment that you'll ask me for something that I don't feel qualified to give but I want to
be securely attached again I want to trust you in every season I want to trust trust you when you say yes I want to trust you when you say no I want to trust you when the door is open I want to trust you when the door is closed I want to trust that my days ahead are greater than the days that are behind God I want to trust that if they walked away I didn't need them God I want to trust that you can do something with these broken pieces God I want to trust
that whether in marriage works or doesn't work that you're never going to leave me or not forsake me God I'm going to trust that you'll be with me in the fire god I'm going to trust that cancer is not the end God I'm going to trust that you'll use me anywhere you place me out God I trust that if I make a difference at this job that it'll make a difference for someone else coming up behind me God I trust that you're going to give strength to my body I trust that this thing is not
going to take me out I trust that cancer is going to have to flee I trust that generational curses are going to break I trust that the weight of Glory that's on my shoulder is not going to dry up here I don't know who you are but I hear God saying your not going to dry up here you've been through too much if you were going to dry up I would have took you up but if you are still here I still got a wind to blow in your lungs I still got wind still got
wind to blow in your [Music] lungs so Holy Spirit we welcome you into this place God healer is only you can do you know every broken air you know where the pain is I want to hear the sound of worship in this place we getting ready to go [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh oh [Applause] oh we cry we cry here in the presence as your winds blow oh we feel the push of Heaven now oh we feel the wind of Heaven now in your presence as your spirit blows we feel the push of Heaven
now we feel the Winds of Heaven now breaking out breaking out break it out break it out oh here in your presence as your spirit blows we feel the push of Heaven now we feel the wind of Heaven now wind of God wind of God wind of God wind of God of God wind of God [Music] this may be the hardest push you've ever had to push through What stopped the generations before you it's not going to be easy but like Jesus fast and prayed and had a better word you got that access to that's
the whole reason he did it was so that a door could be open that could never be closed again he is as close as the very mention of his name so we call you Jesus we call you savior we call you Redeemer Holy Spirit seal this word as only you can do help us to attach to you again in a way that gives us power for the push hope for the journey and peace for this season God I pray that your spirit would follow them out of this this place that they would feel different from
the inside out and that they would not be surprised when the enemy comes to uproot this word but instead their worship would be a seal that pushes him away the last part of this text tells me in the last verse I think it's 11 that after after the after Satan departed that Angels Came and ministered to [Music] Jesus we make it seem like Jesus did it with ease but even when he got finish finished pushing Angels had to come and serve him because it did take something from him I want to speak to some to
someone who's at the end of their push pushing is not the end God will restore the energy you expended in pushing I hear God saying that I got Angels on the other side of this thing waiting to restore everything that it took out of you to stand up to that devil in front of you I got angels on standby I got Angels flapping their wings if you push through this I couldn't them while you was pushing cuz the push was about you but when you get finished pushing I got angels on standby Heaven dispatch your
angels I feel like somebody just got their final push Heaven dispatch your angels I feel like someone just pushed for the last time Heaven dispatch your angels somebody's walking out of this place you've been in a Wilderness season but I hear God saying that when you survive the Wilderness that I got Angels ready to f follow you I got disciples ready to support you and I got a people who understand who you are [Music]
