We've read the last chapter and we know how it's going to end. Jesus Christ has broken our chains.

2. "So, Jesus answered and said to him, blessed are you, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. And that's called revelation knowledge. That's called vision, folks. At some point, you've got to have revelation from God about what's going on in your life. And that's called vision, folks. You cannot live off of my revelation. You cannot live off of another man's revelation. You've got to go to God, get in the Word of God, pray to God. Come on, get on your knees and pray until God reveals to you what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it, and how you're supposed to do it. Because when God reveals it to you, can't no man take it away from you. Come on, if God shows it to you, there's nothing anybody can do to stop you from doing it. Because man didn't give it to you, and man can't take it away from you." [40:52] (53 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

It's his church. And see, this is what he's been showing me, right? So, a lot of times, their identity becomes in the building. And they start, beating their chest. Look at what I've done. Look at what I built. This is my building. When in reality, folks, the church is not a building. The church is an ecclesia. It's a called out group of building. This is just a building, folks. You're the church." [42:47] (176 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

And until you stop permitting it, it will continue to exist. God said, I've given you access and I've given you authority. So folks, we can't be afraid to rock the boat because if Jesus is the captain of the boat, we're going to get to the other side. We must magnify our vision of God."

Because life is going to happen to you, and prophets such and such is not going to be around. Pastors such and such is not going to be around.
