From Survivor to Messenger: The Power of Decision

``We limit ourselves because we don't want to be disappointed. Have you ever limited yourself because you don't wanna be disappointed? Oh god, I wanna pray for that or not or I'm not really gonna I might pray for it but I really not wanna believe for it or I might I believe for it but not really gonna expect it to happen. I mean, to be honest with you, that's just normal. That's that's it should be normal. That's what it is. And so we limit ourselves because we do not want to be disappointed, so we limit ourselves to what we expect God to do. Therefore, we are robbing ourselves of miracles from God.

And as soon as they gave me the word, I knew that was the wrong word. But what I just say, Marie, I didn't know I didn't know to what to do, but that ain't it. And if that ain't it, then this must be it. How did I know let me help you here. Let me let me give you go home and just get rid of your cassette tape series if you still got them. You don't need them anymore. Go hear the whole damn thing and hear from God. Wanna know why? Don't have peace with that. How do know it's the right word? I don't know. I just got peace.

You're in the storm, but you got peace in it. We want peace over the storm, but we don't have peace in the storm. So we want God to take the storm either way so we can have peace. He said, it don't work that way. You have peace over the storm because you have peace in the storm. In the storm, and this was close enough to the nineties that we remember this song coming out of the nineties. Even in the storm, we had a feeling everything was gonna be alright. Amen? That's how you know it's a word from the Lord. [00:52:35] (48 seconds)  #PeaceInTheStorm

How in the world can four lepers guys probably one or two of them was just screw they're you know just just you know just they're they're just not even picking their feet up. I mean they're just lying their feet as they're going and but somehow another the army heard what they heard was another army coming because once we make a decision, once we hear from God and we make a decision, once we start moving, it might not look like anything on the outside, but in the spiritual realm that decision that I'm gonna do what God is calling me to do is gonna be magnified.

But how they go from a survivor to a messenger? Because you go ahead and read the rest of the story. You do it later. Not now. Go and do it later. And and because the Bible says that they went on into the Syrian's camp and when they went to the Syrian's camp, I mean, they're they're they're ready. I mean, they're ready to just just fall at their feet, beg for their life, put us in jail, do something because you got the food to look after us. They go in there and the enemy is gone. And when they walked in there, they couldn't find they I mean, boy, you know God's in it. You're trying to surrender to the enemy and God has completely removed the enemy from your sight. Isn't God good? I mean, even we can't even find anybody to give up to. Where's that devil at anyway so I can just give up to him? Just go ahead and have it. And God has done removed him out of the way. [00:25:50] (50 seconds)  #FromSurvivorToMessenger

went all the way back the same road, went to the gate of the city, told the gatesman, they says, hey, you need to let the king know that all of our stuff is over there in that village. It's over there in the Syrian's gate and the Syrians are gone. He says, what do mean they're gone? He said, they're gone. He said, they're not there, but our gold is there, our silver is there, our weapons are there, everything that they stole from us, including our food, is there, and we need we just just go get it. Just just go get it and they realized that you gotta be kidding and they went back and they plundered and they got all their stuff back. That's what happens to us. We are in bondage, we're in lack, we don't have anything, but somebody decides to be a decision maker, somebody decides, you know what, I'm just going to do what God says it's going to do, and not only did they get free, but the entire village got free because everything the enemy has stolen, not only did the lepers be okay, everybody else got okay with it. How many is ready to make a decision for God? He's just waiting on us. [00:28:23] (68 seconds)  #TouchedAndMadeADaughter

I'm here to tell you today that we are God's sheep and he and we know his voice. I I know it gets cloudy sometimes and I know that sometimes we don't know if we're hearing from the Lord or not because we can make a 100 different decisions that doesn't make any really impact in our life. But sometimes in our life, we will make a handful of decisions and I'm here to tell you that will completely change your life forever. Do you believe it? There's impact decisions that you would make and because you did it, because you heard something. [00:22:26] (30 seconds)  #HearItBecomeIt

Like, how are we gonna do? You know? I want a church grow, but how are gonna grow? Mean, nothing to do. And these people didn't want anything and and the and the and the door in the window, I saw a car over there and the lord spoke to me. He says, quit. I'm telling you. He says, get up. Go over and tell that lady that you wanna buy that land, which is this land. And I didn't sit there long. I got up. There was that rant would go in through that that section there go go from this building to that building. There was a door there. So I just go and open the door, and I walked over there. I knew her enough. She knew who I was, and I knew who she was. I knew that her her dad had died. She actually lives in Winston Salem, and she was over there. I know she was the of state. I just went over there. I said, hey. I said, I don't I'm not trying get your business what you guys gonna do, but if you sell the property, we wanna buy it.
