Aligning Our Trust and Vision with God's Heart

1. "So the question becomes, who's your trust in today? Who are you really relying upon today? Who are you really casting your emotional disposition as an indication of who you're trusting in? Your emotional disposition is an indication of who you're trusting in. If your soul is awry, it's because you're not trusting him. If you're extremely exacerbated, it's because you're not trusting him. If you are hopeless right now, it's because you're not trusting in him. Our God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all we can ask, think, or imagine. And when you trust in that God, that he's able to do more than you can think, whatever you're thinking about, he can do more than that. I sought the Lord, and he heard, and he answered. That's why. I trust him." [36:41] (73 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2. "When you are in alignment with your divine assignment, you will experience the victory that God has for you in Christ. Amen. How many of y'all want victory today? Amen. Okay. We're going to work on the rest of y'all. We're going to work on the rest of y'all. All right. Let's just pray right now for those who don't want vision. All right. And so I don't know about you, but I want the victory that God has assigned for my life. Amen. Now, I'm not trying to hype you. I'm trying to help you. And so I don't want to just come up with a vision. I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to help you. Well, God's got a vision for your life and God's got blessing for your life. The reality is if you're not in alignment with your assignment, you should not expect to receive from God all that he talks about." [42:30] (48 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "So we live in an era where people want to come to God for his blessings, but don't want a relationship with him. And so they live with the illusion. They have the privileges of God. They have the benefits of God. They have the protection of God without having a relationship with God. And so I said, man, I love you, but I can't let you keep perpetrating like that. And so I want y'all to be real. I'm not trying to hype y'all. I'm trying to help y'all. Amen. When you are in alignment, with your assignment, you have the victory of God. When you are in the will of God, then God pays his bills. Where there is God's will, there's God's bill. But if you're not in God's will, don't expect God to pay the bill. So the question becomes, do you have just vision, or do you just have a vision?" [43:55] (59 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "True holiness. True religion transcends man's traditions that do not capture the heart of God. How many of y'all want to have a just vision? A just vision prioritizes the people that God prioritizes. You know, we prioritize people who basically would fit into this category of pharisaical. He says in verse three through five, and Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees saying, is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not? But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. Jesus says, I'm going to transcend their traditions. I'm not trying to be legalistic. You know, people who think they spiritual, but not really spiritual, they become legalistic on you." [55:08] (46 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5. "How many of us think more of ourselves than we ought to think? He didn't say you shouldn't think of yourselves. Romans teaches you, you shouldn't think more highly of yourself than you ought to think. So he comes in verses seven through four and 11. He told a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose the places of honor saying to them, when you are invited someone to a wedding, an airline seat, a wedding feast, don't sit down in the wrong place. Like pastor did. Let someone more distinguished, a stewardess. Or somebody else who paid for the seat and then invited by him. And he who invited you both will come and say to you, the stewardess, give your place to this person who paid for the seat. And then you will begin with shame and dishonor and embarrassment. Load up all your stuff and take a lowly place." [01:02:05] (48 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


6. "How many of us do God that way? We want full benefits, but we don't have full commitment. So we live in a world where we're not experiencing all that God has for us because we're not fully committed to him. We want full privileges, but not full commitment. That's a different message. It don't make you shout. It don't make you scream, but it's true. How many of you are want the victory of God? You experience the victory of God when you're in alignment with his assignment and part of being alignment with his assignment. You are passionate and you prioritize. Prioritize the people that God prioritizes." [01:27:14] (45 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7. "How many of y'all are talking to people about what they're going to do after they die? How many of y'all are engaging people with the gospel of Jesus Christ? How many of y'all are putting your arm around somebody who's stank and said, let me introduce you to a man? How many of y'all are talking to people who are disenfranchised and counted out? So let me tell you about a man who can lift you up. Out of the muck and the miry clay. Let me tell you about a man who can secure your eternal life. Let me tell you about a man who's better than money. How many of you all are sharing the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ? The only reason he's left you here on earth is so you can make a difference in the lives of somebody else. Are you passionate about the things and the people that God is passionate about?"

8. "When you have a just vision, you're passionate and you prioritize what God prioritizes. He says, we went back out and we went to the streets and and there's still room. He says, go out into the highways and the hedges and compel the, you mean compels, but he don't mean for somebody. He means persuade somebody. How many of you all are persuading people with wisdom to trust Christ? So I'll be following up with my friend. See, you can talk tough when you've shown tenderness. You can talk tough when you've demonstrated. I've shown you I love you. I've shown you I'm fully committed to you. Ain't no question about that. So don't be tripping. This is the truth of God. I want you to be an authentic believer. So this morning I text him Luke chapter 14. I said read this chapter and you'll have a better perspective of what I'm really trying to do with your life. I don't know all the answers. I want you to have authentic hope and not false hope." [01:31:56] (75 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


9. "So we live in a world where people don't experience the blessings of God, the exaltation of God, the abundance of God, because they don't have an authentic relationship with God. And then they go back and say, well, God is not who he says he is and God didn't do what he said he would do. And basically what God wants to say, you're not the person who I said you needed to be. You're not committed. You're not devoted. You don't read your Bible. You think a verse a day. Keep the devil away. You put me on the back burner. Until you hurt. You put me on the back burner to give me the job. You put me on the back burner until you want something from me. And then when you want something from me, you come to me like you've been fully committed. It's like somebody who ain't called you in three months, six months, and they call a second. I brought a dollar like you ain't even told me. I ain't got no problem with the money. But what?" [01:26:09] (52 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


10. "When you live with this kind of generosity, when you live with this kind of honor, when you live with this kind of disposition, people are going to assume you have an arterial motive. Culture and our world, we don't live around people who are truly generous. We don't live around people who really are Philippians too, looking out for the welfare of their brother and their sister. We have people who look out for three people, me, myself, and I. Are we tracking together? We don't have people who really want to lift you up with no strings attached. We don't have people who do stuff for you just because they were led by the Holy Spirit to do it for you. They don't need your name. They don't need your name. They don't need your name. They don't need your address. They don't need your phone number. They don't need your email. They want to just do it because God placed it upon their hearts to do it."
