Sermon Tone Analysis

This is a prophetic year and a pivotal year for us to enter into based in the Jewish calendar 5783

BREAKTHROUGH, SHIFT & DOORS: 5783 - 2023 THE ERA OF THE PATRIARCHS!

The Hebrew word for Breakthrough is pârats meaning to break out, make a breach, break forth, burst out, spread abroad, increase, and open.

Many prophetic voices have spoken over the years about SHIFTING, DOORS, CROSSOVER, AND BREAKTHROUGH.

These are words we have heard repeatedly that may need clarification for some.

Breakthrough is related to spiritual barriers that God destroys that hinder our progress.

Shift describes movement God initiates that we may occupy a new position in the spirit that manifests in the natural.

Doors and crossing over represent the opening of new and effective spheres of opportunity providing us with the choice to go through.

TRANSCENDENT EXCELLENCE.

Transcendent means exceeding usual limits: surpassing, extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience.

BEING BEYOND THE LIMITS OF ALL POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHAT IS GOD SPEAKING THROUGH 83

83 – Pey (mouth) Gimmel (camel)

Gimmel means “lift up” as a camel lifts up one who rides it.

Bears burdens in the desert places.

Root word G’mul dual meaning: the choice between blessing OR curses; justice or judgment

(God’s justice is when all things are made right.

The widow has a home, the orphan…)

MOUTH SPEAKING WORDS TO BLESS OR CURSE; TO SET FREE OR TO JUDGE; TO LIFT UP AND BEAR BURDENS OR TO CAST DOWN AND REFUSE TO HELP.

IT IS LITERALLY OUR CHOICE – THIS IS A “VALLEY OF DECISION YEAR.”

DO YOU WANT JUSTICE OR JUDGMENT?

EACH OF US MUST DECIDE.

MOSES AND AARON TELL PHARAOH TO “LET THE HEBREWS GO” OUT FROM UNDER THE BURDEN OF BONDAGE.

PHARAOH IN VALLEY OF DECISION SPEAKS CURSES.

Strong’s Greek 83 – adelotes: uncertainty; quality of being unseen or disappearing; indefiniteness

1 Timothy 6:17  – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

83 JUSTICE IN A DAY OF PERSECUTION

1.

A PRAYER FOR JUSTICE IN A DAY OF PERSECUTION

Psalm 119:83 – For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, Yet I do not forget Your statutes.

PRAYER FOR JUSTICE DURING OPPRESSION

Psalm 83:1-3  – Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

God Wants to Speak to You!

It is a Year of Surprises

It’s A Year of Fruitfulness

It is a year of transition on all levels and individual lives and corporately - Prophet Clyde Lewis

The Lord says where there has been injustice will be reversed into his justice- Prophet Clyde Lewis

The Lord says that you will war with his justice, and not your own justice Eph 6:11-12 “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

For we* are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ““Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.

Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make.

Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!

You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him.

This is the key to your life.

And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.””

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life, your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.””

Opening : Power to Heal, Power to Destroy

In the book of Deuteronomy, we read of Moses speaking to the nation of Israel about this reality: “I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

Choose life so that you and your descendants may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).

When Moses says, “life and death,” he is not referring to killing people physically.

He means they can choose to bring blessing or destruction through their choices, and that would include their choice of words.

AGreek philosopher once invited some very influential and powerful guests to his home for dinner two nights in a row.

He told them he was going to provide them with the best possible meal on the first night and the worst possible meal on the second night.

When his guests arrived, the servant set before them a meal of smothered tongue.

The guests asked why this would be considered the best possible meal.

The philosopher replied, “The tongue is what we use to bless peo- ple, communicate happiness, dispel sorrow, and remove despair.

We also use it to help the fainthearted, inspire the discouraged, and uplift all mankind.

The tongue is the best possible meal.”

The next night the guests returned to the philosopher’s home for dinner, this time expecting the worst possible meal.

Yet once again the servants brought out smothered tongue.

The guests were curious why the same entrée was served twice, and they asked how it could be so.

The philosopher replied, “With the tongue we break hearts, bring

curses, destroy reputations, promote discord, induce strife, and set wars in motion.”

In other words, you can use the very same thing to do good or to do evil.

The same tool holds the power to do it all.

You and I were created by God with access to an internal, explosive power that can construct or destroy.

This morning I want to talk about the power of choosing.

We often hear that we should choose wisely, but what does that mean?

Choosing can be a powerful thing when we remember to do so according to God's will.

When guided by the Holy Spirit, our choices become life-giving and can be a source of comfort.

They can also help us overcome fears and anxieties.

Even in the face of difficult decisions, what we choose matters and will make all the difference in life’s outcomes.

Choosing is a powerful tool that we must use with intentionality because our well-being depends on it.

choose life

A. Watch Your Mouth....

The Muscle in Your Mouth

Your greatest enemy is not in your home.

Your greatest enemy is not on your job.

Your greatest enemy is not that person at church who gets on your every last nerve.

Your greatest enemy is in your own mouth.

That three-inch muscle in your mouth has more power to destroy your life, and to do it quickly, than anything or anyone else.

Your greatest enemy is in your own mouth.

B. God might not use soap on our tongues to steer us in the right direction concerning this critical source of life or death in our mouths, but He does ask us to use some salt.

“Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person,” writes Paul (Colossians 4:6).

Or if you don’t pre- fer salt, He suggests some honey: “Pleasant words are a honeycomb: sweet to the taste and health to the body” (Proverbs 16:24).

Whether you are talking to a family member, a coworker, a clerk at the store, or even to yourself, your words carry the DNA of life or death.

Hell is just waiting for a chance to influence our tongues.

2. Choosing life is in countering God's love.

A. Experiencing God’s love is powerful and leads to greater levels of freedom.

B. The Freedom of God’s Love

God’s Love Transforms You

• The Lord will never withhold Himself from you because of your sin; He wants to draw close to you.

• When you receive a revelation of God’s love through encounters, you also receive a grace for your mind to be transformed.

God’s Love Brings Truth
