When God Says GO: Stop Hesitating | Palm Sunday Message (Matthew 21)

God has given you enough evidence to show you he's trustworthy. He's just waiting on you to say like Jesus. I'm all in this. I'm riding into this city. I'm coming in on the donkey. So the people who know know the scroll the scrolls but don't know god gonna be offended. But I'm still going to do it. The folk who's shouting today going to turn on me this week. But I'm still going to do it. That cross, that hill, that I saw in the foreground as I rode in, soon going to hold my body. I'm still going do it. Because even though all of that will happen, Easter still going to happen too. Stop worrying about what god's going to do once you get all in And just let him do it.

Because the reality is not everybody wants you to become who god called you to be. Don't you think that everybody sitting in your cheering section looking for you to enter into the fullness of what god wants but there's some folk who get happy by watching you go down. And all of these thoughts go into my head, and I walked in the other room, and I said to my wife, Ken, I can't do this. I don't know if this the right thing. Maybe we need to wait. And she looked at me and said, did god say it? [00:59:57] (36 seconds)  #DidGodSayIt

Well, god sent you to freedom today. God brought you to this link today to hear a preacher tell you, it's time. It's time to take that step Don't worry about the ground underneath your feet. That's god's responsibility. You just take the step of faith and watch as god gives you what you need to support you and to hold you up and to get you where you need to be. Because this is the season my brothers and my sisters. For us to move forward and become who god has us to be but we can't do it if we don't go all in with him. [01:13:36] (58 seconds)  #PurposefulPreparation

What if everything in our lives is leading us to a specific moment? What if the years of preparation and study are all to get us ready for some appointed time that we may or may not know. If everything that we do, every step we take, every move we make is all intentionally aimed to help us when we show up at that faithful moment where god is ready for us to step on stage and to become who he called us to be. [00:37:25] (36 seconds)  #JesusPaidItAll

Watch the wording. To have me fall on my face now. Sometimes, you gotta remember who god is. God would not have moved heaven and earth in the last season for me to be destroyed in this season. God would not have made all the ways he made in the last season for me to go down in this season because now, I'm not going down as me. I'm going down as god and god will preserve his reputation even if that means working a miracle for me. [01:06:25] (39 seconds)  #JesusRevealed

He's been changing everybody he comes in contact with because whenever you get in contact with Jesus, you can't stay the same. See, that's why I get nervous of people who say, I've been in church forever and nothing has changed. I I get skeptical, nutty. I get skeptical around people who have tenure in ministry, but yet they still as evil as they were the day they found them. Because in order to not be changed, you can't really be near him. [00:42:19] (31 seconds)  #YourTimeIsComing

But now, Jesus says, I've played with this long enough. I have taught enough lessons. I've given you the opportunity to be to see this through the spirit but now, I'm showing you clearly. This is who I am and it comes a moment in all of our lives where we have to be all the way in that says, even if people don't receive it, I'm still going to do what god told me to do. [00:57:55] (26 seconds)  #ReadyWhenCalled

Because at the end, you're to be standing victorious. You're going to come through this with a new testimony and your testimony will say, look what god has done for me. I trusted him and I let god do it. I believed in him and now I got a great story of what it looks like to be all in. [01:12:16] (35 seconds)  #TimeToTagIn

I've been waiting. I've been in my period of preparation long enough but it's time for me to get into my next chapter and I don't know who this is for but there's somebody who's been going around the mountain long enough. God said, I did not create you to always be walking, getting ready but I created you to tag in and get to do what I called you to do and the thing about this text I love about Palm Sunday is Jesus has been around now for thirty three years. [00:40:41] (28 seconds)  #JesusBringsLife

If we could push it a step further and if you're in a church and you're not changing, maybe he's not there. Amen, floor. But everybody Jesus has been around has been getting up better. Dead people been coming back to life. Somebody missed that. There was a little boy who died and left his mom a widow with no more children. And Jesus just happened to be passing by. [00:42:50] (29 seconds)  #PraiseForProvision

I said he will be good to you and is there anybody in church today who knows you have a story that says something like this. I tried it on my own and I didn't get far but once I got all in, god made ways. God open doors and god has been good to me. If he's been good to you, I dare you to open up your mouth and give him a praise because what you did your part, god showed up and showed out for you. It's time church. It's time. We gotta be all in. [01:09:56] (48 seconds)  #TrustGodsTiming

The Bible says that the steps of a good man, of a good woman are ordered by the lord. And if you allow the lord to lead your steps and guide your path, you'll be ready when your moment comes And I believe, George, that our prayer should always be, Lord, let me be ready. When my moment comes. Let me not be like one of those standing outside the party with not enough oil. [00:39:06] (26 seconds)  #PatienceWithGod

No matter how big or small the situation might be, there's something in it that gets us ready for where God is taking us. And the interesting thing about walking on the journey with god is that there comes a moment where you start to believe you're ready for what's to come. Amen. You know, we we can't really explain it in words because logically, it doesn't make sense but there comes a moment on your Christian walk where you hit what the scientist would call critical mass. [00:40:08] (29 seconds)  #ReadyForTheNext

It's the first day of the work week. The Sabbath is over. Everybody's getting back to their task for the new week but there's a party going on. Yeah. Because Jesus shows up. Whenever Jesus shows up, there ought to be a celebration. It's nothing worse. I believe it's nothing worse than a dead church. Because when I hear the name Jesus, something ought to holler hallelujah. Something ought to holler thank you Jesus. [00:50:07] (25 seconds)  #HandInHisHand

And every now and then, god shows us that what we are going through is not an aimless journey, but it's all to prepare us for a moment that we may not know yet. But if we keep our hand in his hand, we'll be ready when it comes. And the funny thing about god is that though you don't know when the moment will be, you know that everything you do when you're walking with him will get you closer to it. [00:38:38] (28 seconds)  #GoodInTheWaiting

Jesus has been changing lives but the funny thing about it is, he was called to die. But before he gets to Calvary, he still has an impact. Because even when you're in your waiting season, there should be something good coming out of it. You should be skeptical. People say, well, you know, I can't I can't do anything until god does everything. Well, you know, I I can't come to church until my life gets all the way right. [00:44:07] (28 seconds)  #BlessOthersWhileWaiting

when god is all in, he'll move heaven and earth on your behalf. When god is all in, he'll realign the universe to give you what you need. When god is all in, he'll fight battles you didn't even need to know needed to be fought and when you see what god does, you can stand like Jesus and say, give me a donkey. I'm riding in the town. Now, Jesus said, you gotta be all in. Don't have one foot in and the other foot on the side. [01:01:40] (32 seconds)  #CalledAndPreparing

Start doing my work because whenever god calls you to something, you gotta put in the work. And doing the work, putting things together, coming up with the foundation, theology, all those things, and there came time for us then to go public. I'm ready for it. I've sent out all my messages, done all my things, and about fifteen minutes before the time came, I got scared out of my mind. When people act like they never been scared, you say, well, you ain't real. [00:58:35] (28 seconds)  #JumpInFeetFirst

But god today, we get to celebrate not off of their testimony. We don't borrow their experience and call it ours but god, we thank you today that we have our own story, that we have our own journey, that we've seen you be good to us. So, god today, we worship you and we praise you for what you've done and who you've been and we come just to say thank you lord for all you've done in our lives. [00:19:42] (32 seconds)  #TrustBeyondUnderstanding

You gotta jump in feet first and say, I'm all the way in this. I don't know how it's going to work out but I know god told me to do it. I don't know where everything I need is going to come from but I'm trusting this and this the assurance god's given me that I give you. I'm remembering this that the same god that has been with me is the same god that's going to be with me and this is where my spirit really gets fortified and god wouldn't have brought me this far.
