You can't ask god for increase while clinging to old routines. You you you can't expect god to help you build if you won't lay a brick. You you you can't ask god to prepare you if you won't do nothing in the preparation process. You you you can't ask god for revival and give god leftover energy. You know, we we we brag about, whoo, leftovers is so good but the truth of the matter is, if the leftovers was good, what was the initial meal like? I've heard people even say these leftover ovals was better than the first meal. That's a lie. [00:52:25] (38 seconds)  #StopClingingStartBuilding Download clip

Can I tell you something? It's easy to make peace with less. You get content. You say, you know what? That's what it is. It's easy to make adjustments when you got less or lacking. It it it's easy to accept delay as your destiny because it ain't happened yet. It's easy to allow disappointment to be your portion when god is telling you he has a promise for you but I stopped the day to tell you, if god says, enlarge your tent. In other words, make room in your thinking, make room in your expectation, make room in your in your faith because god wants you to move to a new place. God's got a bigger plan but you still using a smaller system. [00:43:38] (46 seconds)  #EnlargeYourExpectation Download clip

God woke us up this morning with a mindset to go out and tell somebody that you gotta think bigger because god has promised bigger. When god said enlarge, that means it's going to be more than you can understand. It when god said, enlarge, it means that it's going to be bigger than you can imagine. When god says, enlarge, that means god knows exactly what he's going to do. Some of our breakthroughs come because we have faith in god. Some of our greatest challenges come because we have disbelief in god. Which one would you choose? You can choose to have to trust god and crossover or you can choose to not trust god and stand on the banks of the Jordan. [00:47:17] (45 seconds)  #TrustAndCrossover Download clip

Do you notice when we're uncomfortable with things, we don't put our all in? Get uncomfortable with something. You say, well, Imma hold a little bit back just in case it go wrong. How do you do that with what god has told you to do? That means you don't trust god wholeheartedly because when it gets uncomfortable, our thinking big sweeps and we don't want to stretch as far. We want to need something else. That means faith in your mouth is not being manifested in your actions because sometimes we say we have faith and we trust god but we don't go all in.

Stretch your capacity and welcome god into spaces that you often going to want god in. All of us got spaces that we don't want god to enter in in our lives because we think we're keeping it a secret. We got spaces where our spirit has been hurt. Our attitudes have been hurt. Our understanding has been hurt but god is telling me to tell you right now, if god is calling you out of a broken spirit, walk out. See, stretching hurts but forgiveness is a blessing. Trusting god hurts sometimes but trusting god will pay off. Serving gets tired sometimes but serving god will bring you a different lifestyle. Amen. Because when you start to serve god, god would allow you to be stretched farther because he's trying to take you farther. [00:58:21] (56 seconds)  #StretchAndLetGodIn Download clip

We have folks here that are unforgiving right now. They need to start forgiving folks and move on because when you do those things, it changes your perspective on how you deal with stuff. We we have folks who are struggling right now just to make it each day because they refuse to let go of something god is trying to move out their life. Yes, all of us have dealt with family crisis. All of us have dealt with some church hurt but god is telling me to tell you right now, let it go and live. He said, let it go because I'm getting ready to expand something in your life.

God has allowed us to be here today because god wants us to understand that he does not want us to hold back nothing. Anything that god has asked you to do, your answer ought to be yes and when. Yes and how. Yes and go. Don't hold back on your praise. Don't hold back on your growth. Don't hold back on your your your don't hold back on your obedience. Simply stretch out and say, god, take me where you want me to go. Amen. Because if god's gonna take you where he wants you to go, he'll prepare you for what he wants you to go. The next thing this text says, it it says, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. [00:59:24] (48 seconds)  #SayYesAndGo Download clip

That means when you're uncomfortable, things are going to be different. That means you may show up one Sunday morning and somebody maybe see in in your seat and you've gotta make a life decision whether you crucify them and tell them that that's my seat or you find somewhere else to sit or you sit by them and acknowledge the fact that thank god that we got somebody new here today. You see, the devil looks for reasons to hinder growth, to stop movement but god told me to tell you, don't let the devil into your space because the devil wants to stop us from doing what god has called us to do and that's why we need the stakes in the ground deeper so that we don't have to worry about a shaky foundation.
