The Moment of Increase X Woman Evolve 2024 - Sarah Jakes Roberts

[Music] John chapter 11 verse 20- 28 this point in the text you all may be familiar with the Story of Lazarus dying and Jesus resurrecting him there's a lot of context to this particular moment in the text but as I always do I'm going to ask that those of you who know the end of the story suspend the knowledge that you have to for a moment join Martha and Mary in the unknown of what's going to happen sometimes when we know the ending it takes away from the impact of the process and yet when we

find them in this text they don't know what the end is going to be I'm in John I start at verse 20 from chapter 11 Martha and Mary S for Jesus they were friends with Jesus and so when their Brother come on all the church girls are standing for the reading of the word and I know y'all's feet hurt thank you Martha and Mary are friends with Jesus they think to themselves I'm in trouble but I have a friend who can get me out of trou trouble I can't imagine what that was like to be

friends with Jesus in such a way that you think surely my trouble my emergency will be his crisis and he will respond they send word to Jesus but Jesus doesn't respond and because Jesus doesn't respond not only are they dealing with the grief of losing their brother they're dealing with the reality that this connection they thought they had with Jesus is not as strong as they thought it was she's trying to figure out why he didn't respond when she reached out to him Jesus begins to head to where they are and Martha meets him there

it says now Martha as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming went and met him but Mary was sitting in the house now Martha said to Jesus Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died but even now I know that whatever you ask of God God will give you I want you to understand that when she says this she's not saying okay God so now you can bring my brother back to life what she's saying is I'm trying to make sense of this reality that you had the power but didn't

use the power I know that whatever you ask of God he'll do so I'm trying to figure out why you didn't respond to the thing that I need and Jesus says to her your brother will rise again and Martha says to him I know that he's going to rise again in the resurrection at the last day but I needed you to bring him back to life four days ago I needed you to keep him alive and Jesus says to her I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in me though he may die

he shall live and whoever lives and Believes In Me shall shall never die do you believe this she said to him yes Lord I believe that you are the Christ the son of God who is to come into the world and when she had said these things she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister saying the teacher has come and is calling for you my subject is the moment of increase Spirit of the Living God there is no way in the world I could do this without you and even if I could I

wouldn't want to God the fact is that I got nothing but you so this is my offering I lay it all down these are your daughters take them to places only you can take them give me Divine Insight wisdom and prophecy that makes it clear that it it is not me at all but it is you calling them to a deeper place in you God I pray that at the conclusion of this message that they will walk out lighter than when they came in that their faith will be stirred up and that me myself I

will be reminded that you don't need my plans you just need my surrender in jesus' name I pray amen oh Lord help me early on in our lives like in the infancy stage of our life whenever there are doctor's visits the doctors ask certain questions and the questions are meant to check our development they ask things like is the baby's head sitting can the baby sit up on his own is the baby able to handang handle the weight of his head is he rolling over is she scooting across the floor because what they're looking for

are Milestones of growth and development if they have these particular Milestones of growth and development it's a sign that they are maturing biologically in the way that they should that is usually just biological and cognitive development but then when we go to school they're not just looking at our cognitive deel development they're also looking at our emotional and Social Development they start looking at things like how well do you play with other children do you respond do you listen they're checking to see are you developing appropriately for as other children in your age group are

you're sitting next to someone or maybe you know someone and they talk all the time they didn't just find out that they talked all the time when they were in second grade the teacher left a comment on the end of that report card that said this one got a mouth on her because as a part of their process they're checking to see how you develop they're checking to see do you share with others we've been introverted our whole lives we never wanted to be in the middle of the group we never wanted to share the

toys with everyone we wanted to be by ourselves with our own snacks and with our own toys this is the way that we have always been and there are usually signs throughout our development that shows who we are when we mature and interesting happens though when you begin checking enough boxes when you start checking off the biological boxes the cognitive boxes they stop asking these questions I don't know if it's around 14 15 18 but eventually they stop asking are you walking well on your own are you holding your head up anymore nobody cares if

you're developing anymore and that lasts for about two decades before the doctor starts asking a different set of questions and some of these different set of questions are like do you have any pain in your body that feels unfamiliar do you notice that your heart rate exerts when you're doing things that used to be easy these two are signs of development it's just development in a different direction this level of development is trying to assess where you are on the decline trying to determine whether or not you're moving in from a stage of stability into

a stage of declining are you having any difficulty walking or moving around this too is development and developmental research show shows us that development is not just progress often times when we he hear the word development we think about growth we think about expansion we think about increase but when researchers look at development they Define it in three different characterizations and that is growth stability and decline all of this is a part of the development process I'm either developing and growing I am developing and into stability or I've reached a stage in my life where

I am developing into decline what's interesting is that there is no announcement when you move from the growth stage to the stability stage the doctor doesn't say okay I'm going to stop asking questions about how you're developing biologically or cognitively they just stop talking at all and then nobody says okay now you've reached the stage where I'm going to start asking you a different set of questions there is no announcement when you move from one stage to the next and that's why you often need someone to ask you questions because they know what to look

for even if you don't know what to look for because they understand what to look for they ask you the kind of questions to help you understand where you are in the development process when a doctor looks at a baby and says they're a little behind for their age they're able to offer intervention so that they can move them into a space of development that is more appropriate sometimes you can be increasing and not even realize it until someone says to you you're developing in an area but you don't even see that development I think

about Mary when Jesus was at the wedding when Jesus is at the wedding and they've run out of wine she nudges him she tells the servant whatever he says do and Jesus says woman my time has not come but he performs The Miracle anyway because Mary knows something about his development that Jesus doesn't realize yet Mary knows that in Luke 2 when we come to the end of Jesus being lost in Jerusalem at 12 years old the scripture tells us that Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and Men He

was growing but he also needed Mary to let him know that what you have gone through is now ready to be released into the world I want you to know that you have developed enough to release what is on the inside of you the stage has been set and sometimes you do not know that you have increase until someone lets you know that you have developed enough to move into the next stage of your destiny sometimes you don't know it because you get so locked into the process that you settle into development forever but there

is a time where you move from growth into stability and when you move from growth into stability you may need someone to tell you that you've done enough reading you've done enough listening it's time for you to release what's on the inside of you I'm telling you that you have increased enough to move into the next stage of your destiny and the reason why we miss this is because in increase is often disguised increase is often disguise we don't always see it when we increase we don't always feel it when we increase increase doesn't make

an announcement sometimes you just look up and you're not who you used to be anymore because increase didn't let me know that I was changing I was just being obedient I was just following the voice of God I really wasn't even looking for increase I was looking for obedience I really wasn't even looking for increase I was looking to offer myself as a Living Sacrifice I wasn't looking for increase and that's why you need someone to let you know when you have increase because if not you will think that you are the same person you

used to be but sometimes you need someone to let you know that you're walking a little bit differently you're talking a little bit differently and they're trying to figure out what it is and you don't even know what it is but I'm trying to let you know that you have increased that you're not the person I remember when some of you wouldn't have even been in this room on a Thursday night going out of your way to be at a conference to hear about Jesus but for some reason I just had to be in the

room why did you have to be in the room because I was increasing God's been calling me into something he's been moving me into something and I've increased in such a way that this is the only place I want to be I could be anywhere in in the world but for some reason I want to be in a room with a few thousand other women lifting up the name of Jesus which is crazy cuz I used to want to be out with a few hundred people doing some things that we won't even talk about and

I can't tell you how I went from there to this but I think God must have increased me I need someone to get a revelation in this room that this is not your first time surrendering that you have surrendered in the past and that's why you're in this room in the first place there are some women in this room who know a thing or two about surrender and when you surrendered God increased you on the low when you surrender God says now I can pour more trust in you now I can pour more faith in

you now I can give you more of my spirit you're looking for financial increase I'm trying to let you know that the increase that God has done on the inside of you is better than any dollar amount that you could ever receive outside of you baby I'm stronger than I was before baby I believe God in a way I never believed God before that heartbreak was increased in Disguise that betrayal was increasing disguise I didn't know it but it pushed me closer to God I didn't know it but it made me start crying out in

a way I would have never cried out before increase in Disguise increase in Disguise it only looks like a problem because you don't recognize that increase is in Disguise it only looks like they walked away from you because you don't realize that increase has come in a disguise when the angel of the Lord comes to Mary and the angel of the Lord says to Mary blessed are you and highly favored are you amongst women she gets afraid because she doesn't realize that this is increase in Disguise sometimes God visits you and what makes you afraid

is actually increase in disguise the bush is burning Moses turns away he doesn't realize that it's increase into SKU I don't know what you're up against right now and it may look like it's actually up against you but I want you to understand that it is actually developing you that this is increased in Disguise I know you're tired I know you're weary but I want you to understand that every obstacle is an opportunity for increase my money may go down but my faith is going to go up you don't get to just take everything from

me God if I have received a deficit show me where the increase is cuz I know you wouldn't leave me with less than where you met me so there's got to be increase somewhere I want to talk to somebody in this room who's felt like they've been robbed who felt like something was taken from you and I want you to understand that God would not allow something to be taken from you if he didn't know how to multiply you in such a way that what was taken from you changes who you are on the inside

and you become increased increase in Disguise it's not betrayal it's increase it's hard but it's increased it's going to take everything you got you're right because it's increased and you want it to take everything you have because when God gets ready to multiply it you don't want to have withheld anything God I'm going lay it all down I could hold half of it back but I'm going lay it all down because when I give it to you there's increase increase is often something that we just step into and when God sends someone to push us

he's also helping us to realize that there are some people who see you better than you see yourself and even if they don't know who you are God knows who you are can I tell you a little something about increase in Disguise increase in Disguise will have you looking at a Shepherd boy with a lunchbox thinking that he could not possibly run up on Goliath saying to him you should go back to the field and let the big strong bold people take care of this giant they said he wasn't enough God says this this is

increased in Disguise see there are some people who may look at their situation and think Lord this is not enough but God says you are increased in Disguise don't expect for them to see what God sees David had more courage on the inside of him than they had muscle on the outside of them he was increased in Disguise that little boy had two fish and five loaves of bread they said Jesus we don't have enough Jesus said that's more than enough that's increase in disguise I want you to start looking at what you have to

work with and recognize that you may say it's not enough but God says I'll take whatever you have because whatever you have is something that I can use it's increase in Disguise something happens when we begin to recognize that it's possible to move from one stage to another stage and never realize it I don't know what's scarier not realizing the moment where there has been increase in Disguise or missing the moment when I begin to decline I think I think I'd rather Miss increase than to miss decline David this Warrior this man after God's Own

Heart would not fight a battle without asking God shall I go up some kind of way this same person who was so committed to following the heart of God finds himself in a situation where he is home from Battle and when he's home from Battle he begins making choices that he should have never made so much so that when the prophet Nathan comes to him and tells him a story about himself he doesn't even recognize himself because he has been declining and doesn't even realize it sometimes we Decline and we don't even realize it we're

shocked to find out that while we were so busy producing so busy people pleasing so busy showing up that they were getting the results but we were getting the decline I don't know what's worse how does Jonah the prophet God's mouthpiece find himself in a situation where he will not do what God told him to do he declined and didn't even realize it there are people in this room and they don't even realize how much they have declined in their faith how much they have declined in their hope how much they have declined in their

courage because it happened so suddenly that we don't even know how we got there I know in a room this size is not everyone's testimony but I don't I know about you there have been some times where I looked at my life and I was so far off track that I couldn't even retrace my steps moments in my life where I was so far off track that I didn't even realize that I was walking by sight and no longer by faith I had declined so busy having my purpose my vision my talent come to life

that I didn't really realized that I had taken ownership of something that started with God I started declining and didn't even realize it it started off a blessing now it feels like a curse what happened when did I start declining when did I lose the honor for the thing that God gave me when did I lose the honor for this opportunity I started declining maybe I should arrested when somebody said that they would help me maybe I should have asked for help because now I'm in a situation where I'm declining maybe I should have talked

to somebody because now I'm in a situation where I'm declining maybe I should have asked someone to give me some wisdom and some insight instead of being Superwoman because now I am declining and nobody knows it because I'm still producing nobody knows it cuz I'm still showing up nobody knows it cuz I'm still singing the songs nobody knows it cuz I came out of my way to go to woman evolv conference they think I'm here cuz I'm such a good church girl I'm here cuz I can sense I'm declining I'm not as sharp as I

used to be I'm not as solid as I once want I feel myself declining I used to have power and authority but I feel myself declining I used to believe that no weapon formed against me will prosper but some kind of way I'm declining I used to believe that I could rebuke the devil and the devil would flee but some kind of way I'm declining and the more that I decline the more quiet I become because I don't want anybody to know that I'm declining what happened to me what happened to me when I meet

martha in this text Martha is declining which is really interesting because most people would look at this text and say well she's lost her brother of course she's declining but when I look at this text I realize that we're not just looking at a woman who's grieving a person we're looking at a woman who is grieving the loss of her plan it's one thing to grieve a person it's another thing to grieve a plan yeah maybe I lost the person but at least I didn't have a plan but this Martha she had a plan that

should have saved her from being in this situation she had access to Jesus she thought to herself that though he is sick I know someone who can fix them and I got a plan I'm going send word to Jesus and I'm going to make sure that this doesn't progress any further have you ever tried to intervene on your own situation and your plan did not work were you I have a Divine mandate from God and I will not let anything happen on my watch and you did all of the things you knew to do but

your plan still did not work she's grieving her brother she's grieving her plan she's also grieving her faith oh God help me she's grieving her brother she's grieving her plan and now she's also grieving her faith because loss is not just monolithic when we grieve something we're not just grieving what we lost we're grieving what we believed we're grieving what could have been we're grieving what will never be again grief grief that is the issue with surrender I've been trying to figure out for the last few days how do I make surrender easy God help

me to understand how I can give them a hunger and an appetite for surrender and God told me Sarah you want lie to them and tell them that surrender is easy surrender is only easy when you're on the other side of it but when it's time for you to lay it down surrender is grief when we find Jesus in the garden and we get those famous words nevertheless not my will but your will be done we act like that was the final part of what he said but it's not in Luke 22:44 it says and

being in agony he prayed more earnestly being in agony he said it but he said it from a place of Agony because if you were waiting for surrender to be easy you will never lay it all down you have to be willing to to grieve that thing that must be surrendered people ask sometimes why can't you just get over it why can't you just get over you don't understand that in order for me to get over it I would have to create a memorial service for this thing I got to make preparations to lay this

thing down you don't just come into a space and lay down something that you thought would save your life something that you thought would be your destiny something that you thought would make the difference in your life you don't just lay that down easy it takes a certain level of grief connected to that and what I love about Martha in this text when she comes up to Jesus she asks Jesus she tells Jesus if you would have been here my brother would not have died what I hear Martha saying is if you really cared about

me you would have responded to the thing I asked you to do what she doesn't realizes that she wants to know if God cares about her but what Jesus wants to show her is it's not that I just care about you that I want to care for you that I want you to understand that caring about you makes it seem like am I anywhere in his perspective but when you recognize that Jesus wants to care for you you recognize that no I didn't necessarily come when you wanted me to because I had a plan that

was bigger than you could have imagined but I came right here right now because I can care for you in such a way that makes you realize that I still see you that makes you realize that I still have a plan if you could get over not being cared about you will begin to know Jesus as the one who cares for you I want to care for that broken heart I want to care for that disappointment I want to care for that discouragement how do I care for it I want you to know that I'm

coming to get it I'm coming to get that grief I'm coming to get that disappointment I'm coming to rectify the situation I didn't intervene when you wanted me to but I did not ignore you all together because I care for you I care so much for you that I took the time to have an exchange with you but I you have to understand that Jesus did not have to tell Martha he didn't have to have this exchange with Martha Jesus could have walked right past Martha and went straight to the tomb and brought Lazarus back

to life but because he cared so much for her even though he knows that he has a plan that's going to help her he cared enough to take the time to hear your disappointment he cared enough to take the time to hear your discouragement I don't need any perfect Christians who make it seem like oh he's been good to me every single day maybe he has been good in hindsight but there have been some moments where I wondered if he was still going to be good to me there have been some moments where I felt

like he forgot me I learned after the fact that he didn't leave me nor forsake me but in the moment I felt like he wasn't going to show up God if you had been there I would have never been touched God if you had been there I would have never gone through that divorce God if you would have been there I would have never gone through that betrayal God says you can go through it cuz by time I get finished taking care of you you have no question about whether or not I cared about you

I know how to take care of that God says I didn't want it to happen for you or to you but I know what to do with it because I know how to care care for you I know how to care for you in a room full of 40,000 I know how to care for you I know to how to care for you in a way that your friends could never care for you I know how to care for you in a way that your mother could never care for you I know how to care

for you in a way that you don't even know how to verbalize you serve a God who will go out of his way he'll stop in his track to make sure that you are seen about because he cares for you and when we see Martha having this exchange with Jesus Jesus is revealing to her that I didn't come when you needed me to but I got a plan in the midst of everything that's happening what I love about this is that Jesus doesn't try to convince her to not grieve Jesus doesn't tell her to just

get over Jesus starts asking her questions about what she believes this is important because I need you to understand that in moments of grief when it will not let go of you the only thing you may be able to do is grieve and believe at the same time oh God help me to say this real good Jesus doesn't strip her of her grief he says you can keep your grief I want to know what you believe because if you can grieve and believe at the same time then I need you understand that your belief will

overwhelm your grief I don't even need to attack the grief I need to focus on your belief can I tell you what God told me when I was looking at this text God told me that when he was talking to Martha that he needed Martha to believe on a different level oh God I feel my help coming God needed Martha to believe something about God that she has never had to believe before Oh I feel like preaching I feel like I'm about to turn the corner in this room you have to understand that when he

asks Martha do you believe this that Martha starts repeating Pharisee belief yes I believe in the last days that he's going to come back he says no no no I have a new belief you're going to have to believe something about God God that you have never believed before this is not a season for recycled belief if you are going to break out of your grief if you are going to break out of this situation you are going to have to believe something about God that you have never had to believe before God I wanted

you to be here but if you didn't show up maybe you are increasing my belief I'm going to have to believe that that Destiny is not ruined I'm going to have to believe that you can heal me and restore me I wanted to believe that I would never go through it but now that I'm going through it I got to believe that you'll get me through it I got to believe that you'll give me wisdom I got to believe that you'll give me strategy I got to believe something about God that I have never had

to believe before I don't know who you are in this room but I hear God saying that you're not going to get the job done with recycled belief I need you to put your grand mother's Faith down this ain't a job for your mother's Faith this ain't a job for your pastor's Faith this is a job for New Faith this is a job for new belief you're going to have to believe something that the debt is already paid that the mortgage is already sealed you will have to believe something about God that you have never

believed before that I am never forsaken that I may be alone but I'm never lonely that there are angels watching over me you going to have to believe on a different level God say if you're going to have breakthrough in your life it's not going to happen because you just stayed seated in your grief baby I'm grieving but I'm also believing I'm still believing that I got a shot I'm still believing that my best days are ahead of me I still believe I still believe I'm not saying it didn't hurt I'm just saying I still

believe I'm not saying you didn't break me I'm just saying I still believe I'm believing something about God that I've never had to believe before when you talk about breaking a generational curse we're talking about believing something that no one in your family has ever ever believed before but I hear God saying that you're the woman for the job baby because you are the only one who can believe on the level of what this takes you going to have to believe that's why the Recycled belief isn't working that's why those same old prayers don't have

the power they once had that's recycled belief it worked for you back then but you going to have to surrender what you used to believe to lay hold of this new belief there's a new belief and I want you to ask God what am I going to have to believe about you that I have never had to believe before I'm moving from one stage to another stage and nothing I've done in the past is working for where I am now I'm going to have to believe something about God that I have never had to believe

before I'm going have to believe that I can make it in this world without that person I wanted here I'm going have to believe something I've never had to believe before I'm going have to believe that I can do this by myself if I have to I got to believe something I've never had to believe before I got to believe I can walk into that room and I can take up space in that room I'm going to have to believe something I've never had to believe before that I can raise this child and break this

curse I got to believe something I've never had to believe before I ask God this message has been so heavy on me I've been waiting on that sound cuz that's the sound of grieving and believing that's the sound of though he slay me yet shall I trust in him Hallelujah Jesus Jesus says something to Martha that he doesn't even say that often in Scripture Jesus for the most part says who do men say that I am he never fully owns who he is except for in a few particular moments and in a moment where this

woman is struggling to believe cuz say I'm going to show you something about me that nobody else sees he gives moment of her greatest disbelief he gives her a revelation is disbelief he gives her a revelation that even the most faithful don't get to hold he says I am the resurrection and the life you have to understand that everything that Jesus did was about sticking and moving he doesn't go around talking about who he is he just embod who he is but because this woman is struggling so much he says come here close to me

I'mma tell you who I am God show this woman who you are in a way she can't deny cuz this woman's got to believe something about you that she's never had to believe before and she can't do it on the outskirts of Revelation she needs a personal encounter cuz what she's going to have to lay down her plan her idea of what her life should have looked like her idea of where she should be by now or what the kids should be doing or where the man is or isn't the addiction she wants to be

clean she wants to be sober she wants to be righteous she's never seen it done before she she's going to have to believe something about you that she's never had to believe before and Jesus Jesus gives her this Revelation about who he is because we serve a God who will take us in deeper even when we're trying to pull away there was something about this text that stood out to me that helped me to understand that the first step of surrender is not laying it all down it's grieving then believing then laying it all down

can I tell you I found it fascinating that when Martha has this moment with Jesus that the text tells us that she says yes I believe it but we can tell there's still a little dissonance in her belief and it says she goes to tell Mary her sister that the teacher has called for you so I went and read again in the book to see when Jesus called for her Jesus never said go get married it's almost as if when Martha couldn't believe it on her own that she had to go find a woman who

could believe on a level that she couldn't it's almost as if she needed a sister to go and hear what Jesus had said because I'm struggling to believe it on my own but if I get a sister who can believe what God said maybe she can help me make sense of what's happening in my life woman evolve I want to let you know that you're in the right space and you sit next to the right woman because what you cannot believe on your own God says I'm going to help you be in connection with another

woman who can help you believe on a level that you don't know how to believe yet when she she went to go get married she did not just go get any ordinary woman I'm about to close she went to go get a woman who knew how to pour out her oil and wash his feet with her hair she went and got a woman who understood that I don't always understand his plans but I trust who he is I don't know if you are Martha or Mary but I know that if you're in this room you

got to be one or the other no woman should be untouched in this room cuz we're about to believe God on a level we've never had to believe before we're getting ready to decree miracles in this place we're getting ready to declare breakthrough in this place we're getting ready to destroy the works of the devil we're getting ready to go to war with that woman's depression we're going to war with that woman's suicide of thoughts we're going to war with her loneliness why because your belief could be the thing that pushes her belief to the

next level you know something about God that that woman is just learning but baby he sat her next to the right one I know him to be a Healer I know him to be a way maker I know him to go ahead of you and make your crooked path straight I know him to create a business plan I know him to help you raise your children I know him to help you build a Ministry I know him I know him to do it I know him to heal you I know him to break the curse

off of your mind I know him to set you free I know him to deliver you woman evolve if there's another woman in this room who knows something about God that another woman needs to know I dare you to release it in the atmosphere who do you say I am what do you know about me what do you believe about God I believe that it's not over I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe Samantha come take these shoes off my feet we got work to do if y'all got to go

I know you've been up all day and I know some of you are ready to go home but we got a stronghold to break we got work to do in the spirit Realm nobody came all this way to stay the same way nobody went out of their way to walk out of here believing the way they believed before I said I'm looking for a woman who's had to believe something about God that she's never believed before I want to prophesy in this room about the God I know I can't tell you about budha I can't

tell you about AA but baby I can tell you something about Jesus I can tell you he's the sweetest thing I know I can tell you that the blood still works I can tell you I can tell you that if you knock he'll answer I can tell you that if you thirst and hunger for righteousness that he'll fill you I can't tell you what I don't know but one thing I do know is he will back shame up off of you I know that he will protect [Music] you I know that he'll feel you I

can't tell you what I don't know how y'all doing up there has he been good to you has he been better than good to you they must be over here do you know something about God cancer I rebuke you T much you got to get out of here five BRS I rebuke you I seen them heal I seen wounds pregnant I've seen the blind see I've seen the lame walk not in the Bible I'm talking about in the year of Our Lord 2024 that he's still doing miracles I know he causes all things to work

together I know that cuz there are some things in my life that should have never worked but he worked them there's some things that I know that I shouldn't even know but he made sure I had access to knowledge that I couldn't get from anywhere else it's not enough to have your plan it's not enough even to have your grief if you don't have belief fresh [Music] belief I know it cost you to be in this room but why would you come in this room to have a recycled Faith why would you come in this

room to have a repeat of what you already know God says I want to give you something that you would have never had otherwise I need you to believe God for healing not just in your body but in the area where you've had to surrender I need you to believe not that Jesus cares about you but that he cares for you I care for you I care so much for you I protected you I care so much for you I kept you here I cared so much for you that I sent that grandmother I sit

there teacher you keep giving me a list of all the things that make you feel like I didn't care about you but you're missing the ways that I cared for you and I didn't just care then I cared now Martha's trying to figure out we were friends and I know you cared then but do you care now I want you to know that being in relationship with Jesus it doesn't mean that he always responds in the way that we anticipate and I'll be honest that's frustrating cuz I have an idea of what care looks like

and having to surrender your definition of what care looks like God if you really cared about me my business would have succeeded if you really cared about me if you really if you really cared if you really cared if you really cared I care for you but me caring for you doesn't always mean that you get the things that you want but what it does mean is that what I give you in return is going to show you that I couldn't give you what you wanted when you wanted it but what I had for you

was worth the wait I want to prophesy over somebody in this room that what God has for you is going to be worth the grief that what God has for you is going to be worth every tear you have shed it's going to be worth every heartbreak you've ever had and my prayer for you is that you won't miss the moment of increase because increas is often disguised sometimes it looks like heartbreak sometimes it looks like loss but if we are only expecting response in one area we may miss the increase that is available to

us in other areas and so my question to you is what do you need to to grieve and what is it that you need to believe maybe I don't have to work twice as hard maybe I need to let that person go maybe I need to forgive and let that situation hurt me cuz sometimes I'm so tough I won't admit that it hurts but maybe grieving for me is admitting that it hurts but don't let the enemy get you stuck in grief you can grieve and believe at the same time your homework for tonight I'm

a college girl so I can give homework [Laughter] now is to offer yourself as a Living Sacrifice you're here we got one day down we got two days left this moment this weekend is an altar it's an altar for you to say not just what do I need to lay down but also God what do I need to pick up can you do me a favor and touch the woman beside you oh oh God can you imagine what she's up against can you imagine what it is that she needs to believe about Jesus that she's

struggling to believe I already know cuz I know girls like her cuz I used to be one of her she don't even like that you touching her oh y'all need to grow up I'd rather face this on my own don't touch me you're making me feel things you need to feel that you need to let somebody hold you for a minute you need to let belief transfer in this room can you imagine what our Collective knowledge of who God is could do in this room there are literally people in this room where the doctor said

that you don't have any more time and here they are years down the road still alive in this room people in this room battling depression people in this room battling anxiety and yet someone else in this room on the other side of depression on the other side of anxiety that's what happens when we come into this room you're not the only one been been high you're not the only one been strung out you're not the only one been looking for somebody to make you feel good so you didn't feel bad it's all in this room

and yet he really heals he really delivers so I want you to squeeze belief in that woman's room belief belief belief belief belief believe Bel Bel believe believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of her I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe you're healed I believe that God's going to walk you through it I believe that he's going to protect you and preserve you I believe he's going to convict you and he's going to comfort

you I believe that he's going to transform you I believe that he's going to call you your people to you I believe that he's going to give you wisdom I believe that he's going to give you Insight I believe he's going to give you patience I believe he's going to give you Joy I believe I believe I believe I believe Beauty for Ashes I believe I believe I believe that he will restore what the Locust have eaten I believe who he says he is I believe he'll do what he says he will do I believe

he's still faithful I know you're questioning but I believe I've seen him do it I believe that he will call cause your feet to walk on High Ground I believe that he will call you into greater depth and greater anointing I believe you haven't seen your best day yet I believe that rivers of Living Water are going to flow out of your room I can't lay hands on every woman in this room but because you're touching her I believe the same anointing that sought my life it's down on the inside of that woman and it

may come out in dancing it may come out in writing but who the son has set free my God is free indeed and I decree and declare everything that God put in you it must come out everything that God put in you it must come out everything that God put in [Music] you I demand it to come out I demand it to come out I demand it to come out before you get back on the plane before you lay your head down on the pillow I believe somebody's going to break out in tongues somebody's creativity

is coming back somebody's pce is coming back I'm not waiting till you get home I demand it to come forth in in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name that is above every name in the name that every mission of his name every KN shall Clow every tongue shall confess I speak Jesus over your life [Music] [Music] Jesus baby I don't know who you are in that pink shirt but I hear God saying that you needed to be as high up as possible cuz God says that he's got a bird's

eye view of your life and when you see what he sees you're going to recognize that it was all working out in your favor I hear God saying you got the best seat in the house because when it's all said and done you going to see it the way God sees [Music] it okay [Music] God these are your women you know the steps they've taken you know the tears they've cried you know the areas where they never got a chance to grieve and you know the spot where they need to believe something different God I

pray that you would take the limits off of their minds that the same mind that was in Christ Jesus would rest on the inside of their skull God I thank you for renewed thoughts I thank you for renewed hope I thank you for a fresh surrend not because it's easy but because they are believing you in a way they've never believed before God I pray that you would not allow the enemy to come and Rob this word from them I rebuke it hell get out of here you have no space what God has placed in

this woman's womb tonight what he has placed in her spirit tonight Generations will benefit from her great great great great great grandchildren and nieces and people in her community are going to benefit from what she received tonight because she has received a revelation of who you are that has caused her to be stretched thank you God for this opportunity yes thank you for Freedom thank you for somebody sleeping tonight thank you for somebody waking up with [Music] joy thank you God that we're just getting started and it's only up from here because you don't take

us backwards so I thank you God that this is a moment of increase and from here we're going from glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory until we look like Jesus in a way that proves that you were developing us every step of the way this is my offering God I pray that it was pleasing and acceptable in your sight these are your daughters do what only you can do I love you woman EV all [Music] [Music]
