VS. 18 I DID NOT KNOW THAT MY UNDERSTANDING HAD EYES IF MY UNDERSTANDING HAS VISION OR PERCEPTION AND PAUL IS PRAYING THAT THE EYES OF THE UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED, THEN IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MY UNDERSTANDING COULD BE BLIND

*********PRAY*********
WHEN WE HAVE BLIND SPOTS IT MEANS THAT THERE ARE AREAS WHERE WE DIDN’T SEE SOMETHING COMING
WHEN WE ARE BLIND IT MEANS THAT WE DIDN’T SEE SOMETHING COMING
IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I COULDN’T SEE IT COMING
IT IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT WE HAVE AREAS WHERE WE DON’T HAVE CLEAR VISION
WHEN WE ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE, WE CALL IT A BLIND SPOT
TO BE BLIND SIDED IS TO BE UNAWARE OF SOMETHING THAT IS COMING OR NEAR OR ASSOCIATED WITH ME
I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT BUT I DIDN’T THEREFORE I WAS BLINDSIDED
HAVE YOU EVER GONE THROUGH SOMETHING AND YOU DIDN’T SEE IT COMING
AND YOU SAY, IF I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT, I WOULD HAVE DONE IT DIFFERENTLY
I WOULD HAVE PREPARED DIFFERENTLY
AND LOOKING BACK, I NOW SEETHINGS THAT I DIDN’T SEE BEFORE
I WAS BLIND SIDED
BODY
BODY
AND TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROPERLY, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
NUMBER ONE, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NATURAL MAN
1. THE NATURAL MAN
1. THE NATURAL MAN
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE NATURAL MAN
JUST NATURAL-
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
HE HAS FIVE SENSE THAT KEEP HIM IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD THROUGH WHICH HE ASSOCIATES WITH HIS ENVIRONMENT:
HE IS NATURALLY ALIVE BUT HE IS SPIRITUALLY DEAD
TO BE NATURALLY ALIVE-TO BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU
BUT NOT REALLY AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE OF YOU
NOT BEING RELATIVE TO GOD
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
WHEN IT SAYS DEAD, IT DOESN’T MEAN THE END OF LIFE
DEATH IN THE BIBLE MEANS SEPARATION
ANYTIME THAT YOU ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD, YOU ARE DEAD-BLIND TO HIM->YOU DON’T SEE WHY YOU NEED TO WORSHIP HIM
YOU DON’T SEE WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY, SEEK GOD
THAT’S THE NATURAL MAN
WHEN CHRIST COMES INTO OUR LIFE THAT IS WHAT HE COMES TO CHANGE ABOUT US
HE WANTS TO CHANGE US INTO POINT 2, THE SPIRITUAL MAN
2. THE SPIRITUAL MAN
2. THE SPIRITUAL MAN
THE SPIRITUAL MAN IS ALIVE UNTO GOD
HIS SENSES HAVE BEEN MADE ALIVE
WE ARE THREE PART BEINGS: SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY
THE NATURAL MAN IS ALIVE IN HIS BODY BUT SPIRITUALLY DEA
THE SPIRITUAL MAN IS ALIVE IN HIS SPIRIT BUT HAS CONCLUDED THAT HIS FLESH IS DEAD
I’M DEAD TO IT, I’M NOT GOING TO MAKE MY DECISIONS ACCORDING TO IT, NOT CONTROLLED BY IT, NOT LET MY EMOTIONS REACT TO IT
BECAUSE I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO LET THE EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECT ME
I AM IN THE WORLD BUT I AM NOT OF THE WORLD
I DON’T HAVE TO GO THE WAY THE WORLD GOES, BE UPSET WHEN THE WORLD IS UPSET, GIVE UP WHEN THE WORLD GIVES UP, REACT TO THE SITUATIONS THE WAY THE WORLD REACTS, BECAUSE I AM FED FROM A DIFFERENT IMPULSE
I AM NOT FED BY WHAT THEY SEE, I AM FED BY MY SPIRIT
THEREFORE, I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN
THE WORD SPIRIT IS THE WORD PNEUMATIKOS WHERE WE GET THE WORD PNEUMA WHERE WE GET THE WORD BREATH MEANING THAT GOD HAS BREATHED THE BREATH OF LIFE INTO ME
NOW I AM REACTING TO TAHT BRAETH AND NOT THE CONDITIONS AROUND ME
THAT’S THE SPIRITUAL MAN
MOST CHRISTIANS FALL INTO THE THIRD CATEGORY AND BEFORE YOU SHUT ME OFF AND SAY THAT’S NOT ME, LISTEN TO THE DESCRIPTION
BUT MOST OF US FALL INTO THE THIRD CATEGORY WHICH IS THE CARNAL MAN
THE CARNAL MAN
THE CARNAL MAN
THE CARNAL MAN IS A SPIRITUAL MAN, HE IS A SPIRITUAL MAN BUT HE IS REACTING MAINLY TO EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES
THE WORD CARNAL-SARKIKOIS->IN THE GREEK MEANING FLESH-MEANING THAT I AM A FLESHLY CHRISTIAN
A CARNAL CHRISTIAN
GENERALLY WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT CARNAL CHRISTIANS WE LOCK THEM INTO A BOX THAT WE CALL SIN
SO, IF WE ARE NOT DOING ANY OBVIOUS SINS, WE SAY THAT WE ARE NOT CARNAL
BUT I WANT TO CHALLENGE THAT DEFINITION OF CARNAL, BECAUSE SINS IS JUST ONE FRUIT THAT COMES OUT OF CANALITY
SIN IS ONE FRUIT BUT IT IS NOT THE ONLY FRUIT
I WANT TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL AND SAY THAT IF YOU ARE WORRIED THEN YOU ARE CARNAL
IF YOU ARE UNFORGIVING YOU ARE CARNAL, ANGRY, BE CONTROLLED BY FEAR, CONTROLLED BY JEALOUSY
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE CARNAL MIND IS AT ENMITY AGAINST GOD
MEANING THAT WHEN WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO REACT TO THE WORLD AROUND US THEN WE ARE AT WAR ON THE INSIDE
NOW THE NATURAL MAN HAS ALLOWED HIMSELF TO LIVE IN THE FLESH BUT HE IS DEAD UNTO GOD
THE SPIRITUAL MAN HAS CRUCIFIED HIS FLESH AND HE IS ALIVE UNTO GOD
HE HAS PUT HIS FLESH ON THE CROSS, HE MAY FEEL JEALOUS, INSECURE, DOUBTFUL, LUSTFUL, SINFUL
BUT HE SAYS, I AM NOT GOING TO REACT TO THAT.
THAT IS DEAD TO ME
I’M GOING TO EXPRESS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW
YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF THAT YOU WANT
HE HAS PUT HIS FLESH ON THE CROSS SO THAT HE CAN PUT HIS FAITH ON THE THRONE
HE PUT HIS FLESH ON THE CROSS SO THAT HE CAN PUT HIS FAITH ON THE THRONE
ANYTIME THAT YOU PUT YOUR FLESH ON THE THRONE, YOU PUT YOUR FAITH ON THE CROSS
NOW THE CARNAL MAN: HE QUOTES SCRIPTURE, BUT IS STILL WORRIED. HE CLAPS AND RAISES HIS HANDS BUT IS STILL ANGRY AND UNFORGIVING
THE CARNAL MAN IS RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM BOTH PLACES
THE TRUTH IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FALL INTO THE CARNAL CATEGORY
ONE MOMENT WE ARE BUILDING UP THE SPIRIT, THE NEXT WE ARE BUILDING UP THE FLESH
WE BELIEVE GOD THEN WE DON’T
WE HAVE THE VICTORY THEN WE WALK IN DEFEAT
ONE MOMENT YOU ARE SINGING PRAISE SONGS IN YOUR CAR, THE NEXT MOMENT SOMEONE CUTS IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THEIR CAR
YOU CAN BE A CHRISTIAN, YOU CAN BE SPIRITUAL, A PERSON OF FAITH BUT ACT IMPROPERLY TO SITUATIONS
WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE GOD AND WANT TO PLEASE HIM BUT THEN THERE IS A CONFLICTED REACTION WITH DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
ALL OF THESE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE REACT TO-WHAT WE SEE, HEAR, WHAT OUR SENSES ARE TELLING US ALL OF THOSE MAKE US CARNAL
IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS, IT TALKS ABOUT OUR SPIRITUAL SENSES
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
IF WE HAVE SPIRITUAL SENSES, WE HAVE SPIRITUAL SIGHT
ELIJAH SAID, I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANCE OF RAIN-IN MY SPIRIT
HIS SERVANT SAID, IT MAY BE RAINING IN THE SPIRIT BUT IT IS DRY IN THE NATURAL
THE SERVANT IS LISTENING THROUGH HIS NATURAL EAR
ELIJAH IS LISTENING THROUGH HIS SPIRITUAL EAR
THE NATURAL EAR SAYS DROUGHT
THE SPIRITUAL EAR SAYS, THE RAIN IS COMING
SOMEONE SAY, THE RAIN IS COMING
WHEN YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY RESPONDING TO YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSES AND YOU ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT, YOU WILL BE AT WAR WITH ONE ANOTHER
THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY SEE WITH THEIR NATURAL EYE AND YOU WILL TELL THEM WHAT YOU SEE WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYE AND IT WILL BE FRUSTRATING
I HEAR IT IN MY SPIRIT
YOU SHOULD HEAR THINGS IN YOUR SPIRIT THAT CONTRADICT WHAT YOU HEAR WITH YOUR NATURAL EAR
YOU SHOULD PREPARE FOR THINGS IN THE SPIRIT THAT YOU DON’T SEE IN THE NATURAL
THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOOLISH TO NATURAL PEOPLE
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW FOOLISH NOAH LOOKED BUILDING AN ARK-WHAT IS THAT?
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO BE CRITICIZED BECAUSE YOU ARE HEARING ON A LEVEL THAT THEY DON’T HEAR AND SEEING ON A LEVEL THAT THEY DON’T SEE
AND YOU ARE BUILDING FOR THINGS THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT HASN’T APPEARED YET
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE NATURAL EYES BUT BE BLIND IN THE SPIRIT, EARS AND NOT HEAR IN THE SPIRIT
OR WHY DID HE SAY, HE THAT HATH AN EAR LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING
TELL SOMEONE I SEE SOMETHING, I HEAR SOMETHING
IF YOU CAN SEE THE INVISIBLE YOU CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE
WHEN ELISHA WAS SURROUNDED AND HIS SERVANT WERE SURROUNDED BY THE SYRIANS
THE SERVANT WAS STRUCK WITH FEAR
HE WAS REACTING WHAT HE WAS SEEING IN THE NATURAL BUT ELISHA PRAYED-OPEN HIS EYES, OPEN HIS EYES
SO THAT HE CAN SEE THAT WHATEVER IS SURROUNDING ME, YOU ARE SURROUNDING IT
LET HIM SEE THAT GREATER IS HE THAT IS WITH ME THAN THEY THAT ARE AGAINST ME
THOUGH AN HOST SHOULD ENCAMP AGAINST ME, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR, THOUGH A WAR SHALL RISE AGAINST ME, THIS SHALL I BE CONFIDENT IN-YOU THINK THAT YOU GOT ME SURROUNDED, GOD HAS YOU SURROUNDED
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN ENEMY, THE BANK MANAGER SAID SOMETHING, YOUR BOSS IS ANGRY, YOUR DOCTOR SAID SOMETHING
THEY DON’T HAVE THE LAST WORD
LORD, OPEN HIS EYES
HE IS BLIND TO ONE WHOLE SIDE OF A FIGHT AND THE REASON THAT HE IS FEARFUL BECAUSE HE IS IN THE DARK ABOUT SOMETHING
ENLIGHTEN HIM
IF EVERYTHING GOES DARK ON THE OUTSIDE, IT DOESN’T MATTER
I STILL HAVE LIGHT ON THE INSIDE
LORD, OPEN HIS EYES
YOU THOUGHT THAT I WASN’T GOING TO MAKE IT, SURVIVE, AT THE END OF MY HOPE
ENLIGHTEN THEM
THE ANGEL OF THE LORD ENCAMPETH AROUND THOSE THAT FEAR HIM
LOOK AT THE APOSTLE PAUL, HE WAS ENLIGHTENED
BUT MANY SCHOLARS SAY THAT HE STRUGGLED WITH NATURAL VISION FOR MOST OF HIS LIFE BUT IT DIDN’T MATTER
HE WAS ENLIGHTENED ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, KNOCKED OFF OF HIS BEAST, BLIND ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ENLIGHTENED ON THE INSIDE
THEY HAD TO LEAD HIM PHYSICALLY BUT NOT SPIRITUALLY
HE LOST LIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT BECAME ILLUMINATED ON THE INSIDE
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
THE MORE THAT I GET INTO SITUATIONS THAT I CANNOT SEE MY WAY CLEAR, THE MORE HE ENLIGHTENS ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME....
PAUL BEGINS HIS MINISTRY STRUGGLING OUTWARDLY BUT POWERFUL INWARDLY
HE GOES TO A PLACE CALLED EPHESUS AND STAYS THERE THREE YEARS, PREGNANT, BIRTHING A CHURCH WHERE THERE WAS NOTHING, PREGNANT WITH POSSIBILITIES, FERTILE IN HIS SPIRIT
YOU SHOULDN’T SIT UNDER A PASTOR THAT IS NOT FERTILE, PREGNANT
YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO BIRTH THINGS, WHOSE WOMB OF FAITH IS DELIVERING PROMISE AFTER PROMISE
YOU NEED TO FOLLOW SOMEONE WHO MOVES
I AM TOO STRONG TO BE LED BY WEAK PEOPLE
TO KEEP ME YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, YOU HAVE TO CHALLENGE ME, TAKE ME TO PLACES THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE, TAKE ME TO WHERE I CAN SEE THE IMPOSSIBLE
PAUL IS THERE WITH A THREE YEAR PREGNANCY, PREGNANT WITH DESTINY, PURPOSE, POSSIBILITIES, IDEAS
DELIVER ME FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY, WE CAN’T DO IT
PAUL IS CARRYING EPHESUS IN THE WOMB OF HIS MINISTRY FOR 3 YEARS
AFTER PAUL LEAVES EPHESUS, HE WRITES BACK SAYING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BIRTHED BUT YOU ARE STILL SPIRITUALLY BLIND
THE MAN BORN BLIND-JOHN 9
WHO SINNED
HE SAYS NOW I PRAY
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
THAT THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BE ENLIGHTENED
HE IS TRYING TO GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNDERSTANDING
UNDERSTANDING IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU STAND UNDER
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF THE TRUTH THAT YOU STAND UNDER IS BLIND
THE TRUTH THAT YOU TELL YOURSELF ABOUT THE SITUATION
THE TRUTH THAT YOU TOLD OTHERS ABOUT YOUR SITUATION
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN GETTING LIGHT TOO LATE
THE TRUTH THAT YOU HAVE CONVINCED YOURSELF TO BE BE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
THE TRUTH COULD BE BLIND
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW
YOU GOT LIGHT AFTER THE DIVORCE
TELL YOUR STORY TO PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE AND WATCH HOW DIFFERENTLY THEY SEE THE SAME SITUATION
WE TELL OURSELVES THE STORY THAT WE WANT TO HEAR
IT’S NOT MY FAULT, YOU WEREN’T THERE FOR ME, YOU DID RIGHT, YOU DID WRONG
WE HAVE THESE STORIES THAT ARE MAKING US SICK
IT IS NOT SATAN, NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOUR FATHER
IT IS THE STORY THAT YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT KEEPS YOU BLIND
YOU DIDN’T REALIZE THAT IT WAS A GOOD JOB UNTIL YOU QUIT
GOD PUTS US IN THE PROBLEM TO BUILD US
YOU GOT LIGHT ON HOW TO RAISE A CHILD AFTER YOU WERE GROWN
MAYBE YOU DIDN’T FAIL
MAYBE THE ASSIGNMENT WASN’T FOR YOU TO BUILD SOMETHING
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN GETTING LIGHT TOO LATE
MOST OF US GET LIGHT TOO LATE AND THEN WE LIVE IN THE VALLEY OF REGRET
MAYBE THE ASSIGNMENT WAS FOR SOMETHING TO BUILD YOU
SAYING, IF I HAD KNOWN BETTER, I WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER
I DIDN’T HAVE THE LIGHT AND BY THE TIME I HAD THE LIGHT, IT WAS TOO LATE
I HAD ALREADY FELL OVER MY BLESSING
PAUL GIVES AN EYE EXAMINE THAT DEALS WITH 3 AREAS
YOU CAN BE A GREAT PERSON BUT YOU NEED MORE LIGHT
YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS BUT YOU NEED MORE LIGHT
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN RESPONDING TO WHAT YOUR FLESH SARKIKOIS SEES, FEELS
FLESH, FLESH, FLESH
THAT IS WHY YOUR PRAISE DOESN’T WORK, FASTING DOESN’T WORK, GIVING DOESN’T WORK
YOU WONDER HOW YOU COULD BE DISCIPLINED IN ALL THESE WAYS AND IT IS NOT WORKING-YOU NEED MORE LIGHT
WHAT DOES LIGHT LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU WERE BORN BLIND
IF YOU EXPOSE LIGHT TO ONE WHO WAS BLIND, THE FIRST THING THAT THEY DO IS SHUT THEIR EYES
MOST PEOPLE SHUT THEIR EYES ON THE VERY LIGHT THAT THEY PRAYED FOR
ENLIGHTENMENT COMES IN STAGES
THAT’S WHY YOU SHOULDN’T MAKE SUDDEN DECISIONS
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT YOU CAN MAKE IS MAKING A PERMANENT DECISION OVER A TEMPORARY CIRCUMSTANCE
H
1. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR PURPOSE
1. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR PURPOSE
CLOSING A DOOR THAT YOU WILL NEED TO GO THROUGH LATER
2. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR POSSESSION
2. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR POSSESSION
BE CAREFUL ABOUT CLOSING DOORS
3. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR POWER
3. I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR POWER
YOU MAY CLOSE A DOOR OVER A TEMPORARY FEELING THAT YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH LATER
I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR PURPOSE-THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED THAT YOU MAY SEE YOUR CALLING
ENLIGHTENMENT IS A PROCESS AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS SHUT UP
I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT
BECAUSE IN THE PROCESS YOU WILL SHUT OUT THINGS THAT IN YOUR WELLNESS YOU WILL LATER NEED
YOU DON’T HAVE TO TOUCH IT
BITTERNESS COMES WHEN YOU HAVE REGRET FROM MAKING DECISION TOO SOON
THE TEST IS, CAN YOU SEE IT
HE SAYS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE
YOU MAY BE LIKE JONAH
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BOAT BUT JONAH WASN’T SUPPOSE TO BE THERE
SO GOD SHOOK THE ENTIRE SHIP TO GET JONAH TO WHERE HE WANTED HIM
EVERYTHING THAT DIDN’T WORK IN YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD THANK HIM FOR IT RIGHT NOW
THANK HIM FOR EVERY DOOR THAT HE CLOSED, EVERYONE WHO WALKED AWAY, THE WOMAN YOU DIDN’T MARRY, THE MAN WHO BROKE YOUR HEART
THANK GOD RIGHT NOW
EVERYTHING THAT STAYED COULDN’T LEAVE AND EVERYTHING THAT LEFT COULDN’T STAY
I KNOW MY PURPOSE BY A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION-HE SHUT THIS DOOR AND THIS DOOR AND THIS DOOR
HE WILL NEVER BLESS YOU WITH WHAT YOU LOST
HE WILL ALWAYS USE WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT
5 LOAVES AND 2 FISH, A HANDFUL OF MEAL
YOU CANNOT PRESS TO WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
I KNOW MY POSSESSION-THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS
I KNOW WHAT I HAVE
I WILL NOT FIGHT THIS CHALLENGE WITH WHAT YOU POSSESS
BECAUSE I CANNOT FIGHT GOLIATH IN YOUR ARMOR
I HAVE NOT PROVEN YOUR ARMOR
THIS SLINGSHOT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH BUT I HAVE PROVEN IT-I KNOW HOW IT WORKS
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE
DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOD HID IN YOU-THE TREASURE THAT HE PUT IN YOU
INHERITANCE IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GAIN
HE PUT HIS INHERITANCE IN YOU, SO WHAT GOD IS ASKING FOR, HE ALREADY GAVE YOU
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE
GOD IS NOT ASKING YOU TO PREACH IF YOU CAN’T PREACH, SING IF YOU CAN’T SING, BUILD IF YOU CAN’T BUILD
HE IS ONLY ASKING YOU FOR WHAT HE HAS ALREADY PUT IN YOU
WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE
I CAN’T WALK IN YOUR REVELATION OF WHO I AM, I HAVE TO WALK IN MY REVELATION OF WHO I AM
IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU POSSESS, YOU WILL ONLY FOLLOW PEOPLE WHO CONFIRM WHAT IS IN YOU
I DON’T HAVE TO BE JEALOUS OF YOU BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING
I DON’T HAVE TO HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE, I HAVE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO ME
I HAVE SOMETHING
PETER SAID SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I UNTO THEE
I HAVE SOMETHING
I REBUKE EVERY DEVIL THAT SAID YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING
I REBUKE EVERY VOICE THAT HAS TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN’T DO IT
THE DEVIL IS A LIAR
I CAN WALK AMONG KING AND PRINCES BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING
I MAY NOT HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE BUT I HAVE SOMETHING
THERE ONE MORE THING TO KNOW
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE YOUR POWER COMES FROM
IT WAS GOD THAT BROUGHT YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE
GOD THAT PROTECTED YOU
GOD THAT PROVIDED FOR YOU, MADE A WAY, EMPOWERED YOU, UPLIFTED YOU, SECURED YOU
IT IS NOT MY POWER, IT IS BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST
IT IS HIS POWER
I GOT POWER OVER MY CIRCUMSTANCE, CONDITION, PAST, HATERS, THE GOSSIPERS, BACKBITERS, CRITICS, OVER THE WITCH, OVER THE CURSE, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER
