Trust Your Wings - Bishop T.D. Jakes

[Music] presence I appreciate you 1st Samuel 30 verse 3-9 when you have it say Amen if you can't find it we're going to put it on the screen you're going to see it anyway I can tell you this if you s uh Phim and you're in the wrong direction you got to go back to the other end of the book 1 Samuel 30:3 we come into this moment in David's life uh that is perplexing it is it is a hard place in his life and it says so David and his men came to the city

and behold it was burned with fire and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been abducted they' been taken captive then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voices David and the people that were with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep that grief that kind of grief where it runs out of tears and David's two wives were taking captives Lord have mercy I might have left one of them anyway and David's two wives were taken captive aoam the gelite and Abigail

the wife of nabal the Carmelite and David was greatly distressed just because you're a leader doesn't mean you don't feel just because you got a degree doesn't mean you don't feel just because you got things going doesn't mean you don't feel great David was greatly distressed for the people spake of stoning him the people spake of stoning him because the soul of all the people was grieved every man for his sons and for his daughters so grief has turned to anger see emotions will switch on you that's why people change on you cuz in in

in one season of their life they're one way but in another season of their life they will Swit so they were crying together now they're ready to kill him because when things go wrong for you you always need somebody to blame and when David saw the men that he come back with turn on him and decide we're ready to take you out David encouraged himself tell somebody say I'll do it myself and David said to ABI the priest a himc son I pray thee bring me hither the epod and ab brought hither thither the ephod

to David and David inquired of the of the Lord saying shall I pursue after this troop shall I overtake them and he answered him pursue for Thou shalt over surely overtake you will somebody shout surely surely overtake them and without [Music] fail and without fail re what and without fail keep going so David went he and the 600 men that were with him and came to the brook bessor where those that were left behind stayed can you say amen amen now let's go to Psalms 91 just for a minute just for a minute he shall

cover thee with his feathers talking about God God will he shall cover thee with his feathers and under his under his wings shalt thou trust his truth shall be thy shield and buckler can you say Amen can you say amen amen this morning for the next few moments if you will allow me the Lord has instructed me me to give you these instructions as you go back home as you go back to your cities your countries and as you go back to work tomorrow on Monday the Lord told me to tell you to trust your

wings I want you to touch your neighbor and just say trust your wings your wings Spirit of the Living God Falls fresh on us as we go into the word of God I thank you for your presence your healing your power Your Glory release it in this place in Jesus name we pray somebody shout amen am you may be seated in the presence of [Applause] God so when my wife and I uh moov to Fort Worth uh we moved to a place where I have access to a really nice back porch where I go and

chill out and get my head together and there was there was a family of hawks when we came there and now it's a multitude of Hulks they've been being fruitful over the years they have not moved they are everywhere I was talking to my sister on the phone last night and I said do you hear that noise and she said what is that I said those are the hulks flying through the trees launching in the branches and and it occurs to me there's a couple of things I want you to understand about the way hwks

operate very much like eagles they can fly very high high as high as 15,000 ft in the air they can soar they can soar and look down with Keen eyes so Keen that they can see a rodent in the field at 15,000 ft and then dive down an attack that rodent they also rest on branches they rest on branches the only thing about resting on branches is that occasionally branches break and when you watch a branch break that any bird is sitting on the bird never screams never shouts never seems frustrated in spite of the

fact what it was standing on it's broken and occasionally in your life things will break the reason that the Hulk doesn't get upset when he finds himself in a critical situation is because he knows he can trust his wings let's take a moment and pray father right now in the name of Jesus I know you're able to do anything but fail you're the God of All Flesh there nothing too hard for you you're the master physician you're the Healer of of all diseases I pray in the name of Jesus whatever is attacking uh right now

this brother that the healing power of the Holy Spirit would step in and intervene thank you for our metaphorical professionals that are handling this and anoint them with insight and give Victory in Jesus name we pray somebody shout amen amen so what I'm saying branches break and you need to understand that before you get back home and you're all lit up with the glory of God and and you're all surrendered and youve surrendered everything over to God but but that does not mean that your family has surrendered that your environment has surrendered that that your

husband has surrendered that your co-workers have surrendered that doesn't mean that you don't have to pay taxes that doesn't mean that your bills aren't due that doesn't mean I don't want you to have the expectation just because God has revitalized you and set you on a new trajectory that life won't keep on lifing because branches break that's why we have to begin to understand this from the perspective of things will change in your life at such a rapid Pace that you can't keep up with it you can't always tell your friends from your enemies just

because somebody says something that you don't like doesn't necessarily make them an enemy but in a moment of pain and grief somebody needs to attack you or attack somebody or blame somebody we can't be so sensitive that we're not successful because if you're not if you're not careful you become so sensitive that you won't be successful at what God called you to do because you'll stop to argue with somebody and straighten out somebody and fix somebody and think that is the victory when the enemy is just distracting you from your assignment and the enemy wouldn't

be distracting you if you didn't have an assignment and one of the great things I've learned about life is to learn to distinguish the distraction from the assignment because many are the times that you will land on a branch and the branch breaks and if you don't remember your wings you will fall the gravitational pull is never up it's never uh upward it's always downward so we are always fighting against a gravitational pool that wants you to fall and you have to remember your wings and that God covers you with wings and that the angels

of the Lord encamp about them that fear him and that in the presence of God there is fullness of joy and that in the presence of God you've got power that sometimes when the branch breaks you forget your wings you're so busy looking at the breaking of the branch and the pain that it caused and the fear that it brought that you don't recognize that you've got you've got wings look at your neighbor and say I got wings I got Wings yeah yeah yeah I want you to love me I want you to support me

I want you to be with me but if you don't I want you to be my prayer partner I want you to be my secret keeper I want you to be my sister and my sister Soldier my brother's solder but if you don't I want to keep my job I want to keep my house I want to keep going forward I've got plans I've got ideas I've got things that I hope to accomplish in my life but if everything doesn't come together exactly the way I want it to come together I've got to always remember

I got wings look at somebody say I got Wings there is a moment in David's life that David has seen a series of Breaking branches in fact David's whole life is full of branches that break he is born into a family that really didn't it wasn't a good fit it wasn't a good match they weren't really excited about it some theologians and Scholars think that that that his father did not really uh pick him out or Point him out or appreciate him because he suspected that David wasn't his I believe he was but he suspected

that David wasn't his d That's why David said I was born in sin uh and in iniquity did God for me he was a reject whether that's right or wrong he was a reject in the family he was ostracized in the family he was more comfortable with sheep than family sometimes what you do is is what was pushed on you because of what you're trying to avoid anybody understand what I just said and so he goes through that and he goes through this and he goes through the other and yet God has a plan for

his life and it's far beyond what it looks like right now because in this season he's taking care of sheep but in the next season he's going to be a great leader but you you go on to become a leader you don't this doesn't happen as quick as television life is not a television show life is not Tik Tok life is not Instagram life is not X it doesn't happen that fast it takes time it takes life it takes suffering it takes enduring hardness it takes branches breaking for you to really understand not only that

you got wings but to trust your wings it's it's one thing to have it and it's another thing to trust your wings now this is not just a sermon it's a prophetic word to somebody so I want you to be listening not to the continuity of the address but to the specificity of the Rama that God is saying to you because you're getting ready to face some things that when you face him you got to be able to trust your wings and David has been sent on a menial task down there to uh bring some

lunch to his brothers who are more mature and who are in the Army and David is just an Aaron boy until he sees Goliath Goliath introduces David to the world Goliath is a great thing he's not a bad thing I know he's ominous I know he's forboding I know he's intimidating but the massiveness of the challenge before for him is how David got discovered when God gets ready to really introduce you to the world he will often use a giant problem in your life to bring you to the stage that you need to be in

amen Come on talk to me somebody and so God uses Goliath to create a platform for David to stand on and David is discovered in a fight so if you run from every battle if you hide from every breaking Branch if you're scared to land on something because you're so intimidated you may miss the very Usher that's going to Usher you into the next stage of your life avoiding broken branches Goliath was used and now he's fighting Goliath who is a Philistine for for the king of Israel and all of a sudden the king discovers

him in the fight hear me right now there is a fight that you have been in that God ordered and even even though you prayed he didn't move it even though you spoke in tongues he didn't move it even though you anointed yourself with oil he didn't move it there's a fight that's been going on in your life if God doesn't move the fight then that means God is going to use the fight to become a platform for you to discover what you can do what you can endure what you can stand and what's next

in your life I don't know who I'm talking to but I'm going to unravel some things this morning I'm going to share some things this morning that are going to revolutionize your life and all of a sudden King Saul likes him and invites him into the palace and David has to make the transition from being a Shepherd boy where what you smelt like didn't matter and what you wore didn't matter and what you look like didn't matter and all of a sudden he is catapulted into the palace where there is protocol where there is order

where there is structure where there is Ambiance where there is rules and David has nothing in his background that has prepared him for the platform that he's about to stand on but David is fluid enough that he's able to adapt to different situations rapidly and God uses Jonathan God will send somebody that loves you enough to school you to get you ready for what he's about to do in your life you after you've discovered your goath you got to find your Jonathan when you find your Jonathan they will they will dress you they will change

places with you I wish I had time to really get down into David and Jonathan because in David and Jonathan I see substitution I see Jesus Trading Places with us I see him giving us his righteousness and us giving him our sins and the prince in the house dressed David as a prince gave him something he didn't work for he didn't earn he didn't have a background for but through relationship there was a conveyance a conductor a conductor Bel that brought him into a power that he never would have had had he not been in

that relationship so protect your relationships because God often will tress you through the relationships that you have if you protect them and it happened and boom it happened and David is there and David is in the palace and David is in the palace and he kills uh a thousand three I think it was a, or three 00 Philistines and brings her forkins and throws them down at the king's feet but then David was so good at what he did that it created jealousy Saul was good with David as long as they were singing about Saul

but when they changed their song and started singing Saul has killed his thousands but David has killed his tens of thousands all of a sudden the branch broke see some people only lack you in one dimension of your life but when God finally brings you into the next dimension of your life don't be surprised because everybody can't handle roll reversal I said everybody can't handle roll reversal the first should be last the last should be first we shout about it but when it happens everybody can't handle that and so David ends up having to leave

the palace and he ends up running from the very person he was fighting for and the reason David is running from Saul who is now trying to kill him and throwing javelins at him see you're under attack because the enemy only tries to take you out because of your destiny and he's trying to stop you before you get there and you don't understand why it's happening cuz sometimes he sees things that you don't see and you don't understand why he's throwing javelins at you why would the king throw a javelin at a boy but God

knew what David was going to be and Saul knew what David was going to be and it got on his neres many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord the Lord delivered them out of them all and all of a sudden David finds himself in a situation of transition and when we come to settle on the text David is now H has gone through a period of hiding amongst the people he was fighting look look at how fluid he is he is now hiding amongst the Philistines from the people he was fighting for

and sometimes when you shut doors you shut doors prematurely because you don't understand how the branch will break and the situation will change and you'll find yourself on the opposite side and David has had to hide amongst the Philistines fing himself to be mad finally ending up with 600 men and their families in Zig lag and he is in Zig lag because he is too much an Israelite to fit in with the Philistines but he's been with the Philistines so long that he can't go back to the Israelites and sometimes you have to create your

own Camp come on somebody because you don't I'm talking to the misfit people all you fit people don't get it but to the misfit people I want to talk to the people that you're not quite this and you're not quite that and you're not quite here and you're not quite there and you can't really explain where where you're at sometimes you got to create your own camp and David is in zigg with 600 men fighting for them and their families and their children and their goats and their cattle and their oxen and they have just

come back from a mission and and when you come back from a mission sometimes you come back weary and tired have you noticed that we have been in a serious of battles maybe it's just me it's not you how many people as soon as you get out of one thing here comes something else and S soon as you survived this now you got that you finally got the house paid off now your body's acting crazy you finally got your head on straight got your therapy together but your credit is jacked up how many people have

gone from Battle to battle to battle to battle to battle and I don't care how strong you are and I don't care how anointed you are and I don't care how gifted you are and I don't care how talented you are when you come back from a battle you are tired and it's called battle fatigue some of you have not been diagnosed yet you are numb because you have been in so many battles that you have battle fatigue and you're trying to find a place to just just just just to perch on can will you

watch with me for a few hours will you stay stand with me will you be there with me and there he coming home from Battle with 600 men and he's coming to a place and there should be dancing there should be singing there should be rejoicing the there should be somebody the women normally would run out to meet you and they didn't there is no sound of the laughter of the children there is no smell of the break of the of of the bakon of bread he comes home instead of smelling bread he smells smoke

he smells smoke somebody in here smells smoke and the smoke is the first indication that something is wrong and when he gets back when he gets back to the camp having survived being in Israel having survived being with the Philistines when he gets back to the camp he runs into the fact that while they were gone the amalekites have come in and have abducted all the women and the children and burned the camp and they're devastated and you sometimes you just got to admit I'm devastated I know you've been taught positive confession and and just

name it and just claim it and just just quote the word but sometimes you got to open up your mouth and say I'm sick of this I'm sick of this I'm sick it is because until you get that pain out you can't get that direction in you got to you got to open your mouth and holler you got to you that that's why I hope you all don't get rid of all the old school stuff cuz there was something that the old church mothers knew they didn't speak Greek they didn't speak Hebrew they didn't understand

Swahili but old church oh there was something that they released that broke out of their spirit that opened them up to what God was about to do next in their life if you understand what I'm talking about let me hear you shout unto God you cannot deny this hurt this hurt this hurt this is painful the branch broke the branch broke and I don't know what to do and then he finds himself in a yet more perplexing situation I need to teach this for a minute he finds himself in the perplexing situation that the people

that he could count on have stopped weeping with him and decided we're going to blame you and they turn on him aam is gone Abigail is gone and now his own soldiers have turned on him and the Bible says that David encouraged himself in the Lord and and we often preach this kind of stuff but we don't tell people how to encourage yourself in the Lord because we're so used to needing the whole 600 behind us in order to get encouragement that when that Branch breaks or that relationship changes or that voice ceases to be

in your ear you don't know that you've got the power inside of yourself to encourage yourself I know it looks stupid but sometimes you got to lay hands on your own head you got to you you you you got to speak to yourself you got to encourage yourself you got to ignore all the ugly stuff and look for something that's lovely and look for something that's true and look for something that's real and decide what you're going to worry about and what you're not going to worry about and make it up in your mind I'm

going to trust my wings even if the branch breaks now somebody say trust your wings baby trust your wings trust your wings you're in a season where you got to trust your wings you got to trust your wings you got to trust that what God gave you is enough to handle whatever life throws at you you got to trust that he that has began a good work in you shall perform it until the day of Jesus Christ you got to trust that God is Not Just Alpha but Omega the beginning and the end the first

and the last you got to trust that God is with you always if the branch breaks he's with you if the credit breaks he's with you if the marriage fails he's with you if your body gets sick he's with you if you're backed in a corner he's with you if the storm is Raging he's with you if life is going crazy he's with you if your body's right with pain he's still with you if you're backed up and had to start over he's with you if you make your bed in hell he's with you if

you take the wings of the morning and Ascend to the uttermost parts of the earth he's still with you the reason you got the kind of power you got is not just because you read your Bible but your Bible read you and what you [Applause] read what you read in the Bible is going to be walked out in your life and you don't get to choose how it's walked out out in your life it just happens the way it happens and branches break and David was left to encourage himself and this is this is what

fascinates me because sometimes I look past what fascinates other people because other people are fascinated by the fact that David encouraged himself but I am fascinated with how David handles conflict see see all conflict is not bad the it seems like we're extremist either we if if if you go on social media you just see all kinds of conflict things that people would never say to you to your face they will whip out and lash out but a and you get wounded by somebody that's sleeping up under a bridge and you end up losing your

house fighting with somebody because everybody looks important when you make your own page I've never seen anybody yet make a page and post the worst part of themselves on the page they all look important they all look like journalists they all look like and they talk like they know you even though they never met you and if you're not careful you'll mishandle conflict in the workplace you do not want to be surrounded by people who just say yes you need some people in your life that will challenge your ideas and reshape your thinking all conflict

is not bad but we have a we we're living in a conflict drought either we're extremely full of of conflict to the degree that we don't have constructive conflict we just have a life avoiding destructive conflict or we have people who just say yes yes to everything and we're not growing because we have not created an atmosphere that allows our ideas to be challenged because we are only comfortable when we are in control as long as you are in total control you are completely comfortable but when you find yourself in a situation that you have

to be inclusive of people who think differently than you and your ideas are challenged you have to be comfortable with that here lies the challenge of great leadership is to become comfortable with other smart people in the room you you you see see when you build your own Camp you're the only smart person in the room but when you get ready to take dominion over what God has for you you have to be able to deal with you're in the room with other smart people in the room and so it doesn't it doesn't have the

ring that it used to have because now you're outside the camp tell somebody say now you got to get out the camp you got to get out of your Camp to get the victory you can't stay in your circle you can't stay in your click you can't stay around people who always salute you and celebrate you now you got to deal with other people and how you handle conflict determines whether you will become king or not this was a tremendous moment in David's life only because because of how he dealt with conflict all conflict is

not bad I want to deal with the fact that we are in a drought of conflict and the reason I say we're in a drought of conflict in spite of all the stuff you see going on in the world going on on social media you can choose the news you want and it gives you a false sense of what is going on in the world because you always stay in your own camp and you're not willing to have your ideas challenged because when somebody challenges your ideas you feel like they're challenging you because you have

not been separated from your ideas and that's why your ideas don't grow because ideas grow in Conflict ideas grow in Conflict that's why you've been in the same place for 10 years because you you you you have a conflict avoidance that was probably prewired in you either by your history or your DNA that you think your job is to just keep the peace we like to talk about Jesus being the Prince of Peace but when Jesus talks about it he said I came not to bring peace but a sword I came to stir things up

I don't mind a little conflict I came to set it off in here I'm going to do some radical stuff I'm going to get on everybody's nerves my church is't going to like it my synagogue isn't going to like it the priest aren't going to like it everybody's going to be but I'm willing to set it off to reach my destiny I'm I've got to be willing to disrupt some things but we have a conflict avoidance so we go along I'm going to ask you for something where my go along to get along people you

you just see all kind of stuff but you don't say nothing cuz you don't want to be the one that makes no waves cuz cuz you you're comfortable and without conflict oh you're not going to hold your hand up I get it I get it I get it yeah you you were the kid in the family that brought everybody together and you spent your whole life explaining your mother to your father and your father to your mother and you spent all your life explaining your big brother to your little brother and you're just running from

fire to fire trying to put everything out and now your idea of Heavens is quiet and anything that draws attention to you and puts you at risk of conflict you dodge but David deals with the conflict head on he just he he just confronts it and in the process of creating an environment where people feel safe enough to challenge your ideas without losing your relationship that that's how relationships lasts for years relationships don't last for years because you're always right relationships last for years because you know how to accommodate somebody else's ideas oh I I

knew you w going to shout about that I KN I knew you was don't shout about that businesses explode when you surround yourself with bright people but bright people don't always agree if you if you watch uh uh P listen at podcast and say they don't always agree so one I'm is telling you not to eat meat the other one's telling you you got a protein deficiency one of them telling you don't drink water one of them's telling you that coffee is good for you one I'm tell you a glass of wine is good for

your blood vessels other one says any alcohol consumption is going to tear down your brain and you just going from person to person and so to rather than to be in Conflict you just step away and and say I'm not going to do anything but how long can you do that David has the conflict because his soldiers his troops his boys his his Camp is in flame and his troops are W to Stone him he's now had to encourage himself first in the Lord and once he encourages himself he goes to abather to ask him

get Thum and urum which were in the high priest's vest and whenever there was a decision to be made these prophetic Stones were what was used that's why he said bring me the ephod so that I can find out is God for me is god with me because I don't mind the branch breaking as long as I still got my wings but if if I lose my wings I'll lose my mind if I lose my wings I'll lose my peace if I lose my wings I can't make a great decision oh God that's why David

said take whatever you want to take from me but whatever you do don't take your spirit away from me cuz I need your spirit without your spirit I'm a Fool without your spirit I'm a hothead without your spirit I'll be antagonistic without your spirit I'll fail you in a minute I need your spirit I'm not just raising my hands to make woman evolve look good I'm chasing the Holy Ghost I need a fresh Touch of God's spirit in my life somebody take about 15 seconds and give God Crazy Praise I'm chasing him down [Applause] I

need your spirit because I don't want to be in a battle that I brought on myself I don't want to be in a battle that you don't intend for me to be in I don't want to waste time arguing with sand ballot and toaya while while the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruin I don't want to mistake what victory looks like in my life Victory don't look like you it don't look like you it don't look like you it don't look like you it don't look like you so I'm through imitating people I'm through pretending

to be somebody else I need to find out what victory looks like on me it's got to be tailored to fit me it's got to be tailored to fit my gifts it's got to be tailored to fit my anointing and if I have to lay on my face on the Altar and call on God if I have to kick my legs if I have to shake my hand if I have to spin around in a circle if I have to jump up in the service and folks can't see the preacher I got to get what

victory looks like for me I came too far I went through too much I had too many dark days to get here and have a form of godliness denying the power there up I need a touch from God and I need it before I get on the plane I need it before I get in the car I need it before I take off in the air I need it before we drive back I need it I need it I need it I need it that's that's why I came to church this Sunday after getting all

that word I still needed some more cuz I got to make sure that if the BR breaks I can trust my wings I can trust my wings I can trust my wings I can trust my wings I can trust my wings I can trust my wings I can trust my wings see God is getting ready to do something so mighty in your life that you need this word and and then touch six people and say trust your wings trust your wings trust trust trust trust your wings trust your wings trust your wings when branches break

trust your wings When Trials come trust your wings when you're in a storm trust your wings trust your wings trust your wings when you can't tell light from day when you can't tell friend from foe trust your wings wings uh when you can't tell whether it's spring or winter trust your wings uh throw a whole to Camp against you your heart can't fear if you just trust your wings I don't know who I'm preaching to but I feel like I'm preaching to somebody you might be streaming online you might be in the Overflow but God

is going to overflow in the Overflow until the anointing Falls where you are because when God gets you out of this place he's getting ready to take you into a brand new dimension into a brand new stage uh into a brand new place in God and if you can't trust your friends trust your wings uh if you can't trust your family trust your wings uh if you can't trust your faculty trust your wings uh if you can't trust your board trust your wings uh I need 30 seconds of crazy Holy Ghost Praise In This Place

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes Lord yes Lord yes Lord yes Lord yes Lord that's a child of Destiny that's shout that's a child of destiny that got the hands in the air cuz God is talking to you he's feeding something that he's about to do in your life there's a breakthrough that's about to come in your life glory to God glory to God bear witness to it bear witness to it uh slap three people and tell them something is about to happen in my life

something's about to happen in my life I got to get this word I got to get it in my spirit I got to get it in my heart I got to get it in my belly I got to get it in my system I got to get it in my practice I got to get it in my habit I can't be distracted I can't look to the left or the right uh I don't care what season I'm here I've got to trust my wings I can't hear you make some noise in this place [Applause] [Applause]

p Paul says it this way he said I've learned how to abase and to abound I know how to experience abundance and I know how to survive lack I know how to abas I know how to abound everywhere and in all things I'm instructed I am instructed both to be full and I am instructed to be hungry I am instructed both to abound and I am instructed to suffer need cuz God doesn't want me to think that the branch is my sustenance my power is not in my Branch it's in my wings and so God

keeps bouncing me from situation to situation to situation to situation so I can see do they work in this situation does it work in this situation does it work in that situation glory to God the only thing that remains stable is God and he goes on to say give me the next verse he goes on to say I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me I know how to deal with anything and any situation because as long as I got my wings I can survive anything trust your [Applause] wings I am instructed to

abase and abound I am instructed to be full and I am instructed to be hungry I am instructed to fight the Philistines or hide amongst the Philistines I am instructed how to win the battle and I am instructed how to lose a battle I have learned whatever state I'm in there with to be content how how can I be content and [Applause] hungry I can tell you how I can do I have meat to eat that you know not of while my outward man is perishing my inward man is being renewed in other words don't

count me out I'm trying to tell you you got Wings I'm trying to tell you you are enough I'm trying to tell you if you encourage yourself and if you start seeking God that God will get you ready for what he's about to do in your life but I haven't hit my point yet here's my point once he found out that God said if you pursue the amalekites you not only only will you overtake them you will recover all y'all didn't hear not not most of it not half of it not all of it let

me in the balcony did did you hear what I said all of it everything you lost everything you cried about everything you wept about everything you've been in a season of depression about God said if you listen to what I'm saying you're going to get it all back I don't know who this word is for but you could not leave Dallas till you get this word you're going to get it all back for every night you cried for every night you suffered for every moment you did without you're going to get it all [Applause] back

so this is what drew me to to this text yet again is that when he gets instructions from the Lord he then takes his 600 men to go to pursue the amalekites you remember that God said he hated amalec God hated amalec because the amalekites had a system of warfare that they made prey out of the weak so they waited till all the men were gone and abducted all the women and children that was their style they were known for that God said I hate amalec now David is about to pursue the amalekites but that's

not what got me what got me is he took the 600 men with him who were about to Stone him in other words he didn't get in his feelings at the EXP of the word God gave him you may have to release somebody that hurts you in one chapter God may turn around and use them again and another the Bible said that God will make your enemies your foot stools y'all don't hear what I'm saying and and so sometimes you get rid of people prematurely because God wants to use them to take you to the

next level but you got to get over your grief and your anger and your hostility because just because because you're through with them doesn't mean God is through with [Applause] them somebody jump up and holler God is not through with [Applause] me he's not through with me he's not through with me he's not through with me and then I thought what is it about this David using these 600 men so I began to investigate he had trained them he had prepared them he had influence him he had affected them and when push comes to shove

David always uses proven weapons you remember when he was about to fight Goliath and Saul offered him his armor and Saul's armor was bright and it was shining and it was sharp and it was strong and it looked good but when he got ready to fight he said I know my slingshot is raggedy I know it doesn't look like much but I have proven it I used it against the lion I used it against a bear don't go to battle with stuff that's not proven if you have to make up if you have to cry

up if you have to come up whatever you got to do God says I'm going to use [Applause] and I admit it would have been tough for me it would have been tough for me to go in the battle with somebody who was going to Stone me it would have been tough for me but when you get a word from God the word becomes more important in your [Applause] feelings and I'm I'm I'm I'm almost where I need to be but you're about to pursue everything you lost you're going to reclaim everything the enemy tried

to take away from you you're about to step into a Dominion that requires that you go outside of your Camp outside of your Arena outside of your circle and you can't worry about their disapproval you got to be willing to step into your destiny and your purpose and you got to be willing to be comfortable with being uncomfortable you got to be able to deal with challenging ideas we got to be able to [Applause] talk who am I talking [Applause] to everything you lost is coming back [Applause] Hallelujah everything that the enemy stole is coming

back everything that they meant for evil God is going to make it good for every night you cry God is going to restore unto you the joy of your salvation you got your salvation but it's coming back with joy lift your hands and open your mouth and let the sound of Joy break out into this Arena let it break out in this church let it break out in the Overflow let it break out in your house uh you got the power in your mouth uh let it rip right now let it rip right now hallelujah

hallelujah and I want you to go into Covenant with God I'm going trust my wings when I can't trust my feelings I'm going trust my wings uh when I can't trust my friends uh I'm going trust my wings uh when I can't trust my finances uh I'm going to trust my wings uh I'm getting ready to fly into another dimension and everything that was held up uh everything that was locked down uh everything that was shut off uh I'm about to get it back and I got to be prepared for what God is about to

do in my life uh tell your neighbor say give me some room cuz I'm getting ready to Flap my wing uh I'm going to Flap my wings uh when all the hell is breaking Loos uh I'm going to Flap my wings uh though a host has encamped against me I'm going to Flap my wings uh in the middle of the storm uh in the middle of the trial in the middle of the test in the middle of the tribulation I'm going to flood my wings I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost getting you ready

to get in Flight uh I'm not talking about your plane ticket I'm talking about your destiny you're getting ready to fly into another dimension uh somebody take 30 seconds and just try your wings you still got it you still got it you still got it you still got it you still got it you still got it the devil is getting nervous the devil is getting nervous uh witches are upset uh C are being broken uh offer your life uh flap your wings uh God's got you covered uh God's got your finances covered uh he's got

your future Covered uh everything God said you're going to recover it all I need a recover praise uh a praise of recovery uh a praise of breakthrough uh a praise of surrender uh a praise of saying yes whatever I got to go through uh no matter how much I have to cry I'll let nothing separate me from the love yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you come this far on your own ideas but God's going to give you in a place of innovation and Innovation comes out of conflict and you got to know that we

can have conflict and still trust that we'll end up at the same spot we might disagree but we're going to work till we come up with the best idea which may be a hybrid of your idea and mine but when I think of the goodness of Jesus uh and all that he's done for me I've got a feeling that everything every little thing every broken thing every Fallen thing every hurting thing it's going to be all right can I get a good old Holy Ghost Praise In This Place some trust in the horses some Trust

and Chariot but I will remember the name of the Lord I still got wings I still got wings flap your wings into the devil's face right in the enemy's Faith right in the enemy's Faith right in the enemy's face right in the enemy's face Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah a th000 may fall at your right side 10,000 may fall at your left side but keep on flapping sometimes they're with you sometimes they're against you but keep on flapping God said trust your wings [Music] [Music] for where you getting ready to go for what God's getting

ready to do see d David was not yet King but he was practicing and he was evolving and he was getting ready and he had to be able to lead in conflict or you can't be king you can't be king in a quiet room you can't be king and stay disconnected you can't be king and not deal with the messy stuff you can't be king and not be strong enough to accommodate other people's gifts you can't be king if you got to be boss not and lead a great nation because if you're going to lead

a great nation you got to surround yourself with great people and be comfortable in the conflict how do you become comfortable in the the conflict by creating an environment of trust that says we may disagree but our relationship is stronger than our disagreement and if it comes down to a choice I choose to pursue relationship over disagreement perhaps you're not right and I'm not either Perhaps it is a combination of ideas that defines Innovation there can be no innovation without disruption and you're hiding from the conflict is stopping the Innovation and so the Lord told

me to tell you that you got to create atmospheres of trust absolutely you got to create create atmospheres where people can approach you or disagree with you or challenge you or say have you thought about it this way or that way and you you can't keep running from other people's Brilliance just so you can be important in your own little camp and what was amazing to me about the text is David's values were on what had been proven to be true in his life and he always turned down what looked like the obvious answer to

use something that looks look substandard because he valued longevity and history over Glitz and glitter and glam have you been proven I can forgive your mistakes have you been proven I can accommodate your ideas if you've been proven if I'm going into this battle I'm not going without you if I'm going into this next dimension I'm not going without you because you are a piece of my destiny and so he took 600 men to battle that were angry with him at first because he was big enough to choose the better choice of going with that

which has been proven proven do you know what I mean by proven that which has been tested that which works for me might not make sense to you but it works for me [Music]
