Notes
Transcript
Get your bible and turn to the book of St. Matthews 5:1-9 if you can't find Matthew come on to the altar we will pray for you. Because you really haven't been to church in a long time. Matthews and Genesis you order have in the bag He is tell us about bless attitudes I wonder do you have a blessed attitude with the people you Work with the people you live with. you had one when you were dating. You had one when you First got the job. you had one when you first join the church. you had one when you first got in Choirs. Let us pray Father in the Name of Jesus I ask that you will search our hearts and if you Find anything in their that does not please you remove it if you fine anything that’s toxic remove so that we can be free to be used by you it’s in Jesus name we pray Amen. I would like to use for a topic: Let It Go. why do we have Trouble forgiving and why do we have trouble doing it, why do we have trouble receiving it. why
do we have trouble believing That God could forgive you but you can’t believe He can forgive me. why is it that we have trouble been able to express it. Why is it that we live in a Society that's celebrate people for being unforgiving and the harder you are the thoughtful you are the more unforgiving you are the more you are celebrated for it. For being a strong black woman that just means you're mad and we celebrate that encouraging people not to take anything from anybody we celebrate people
for their anger men are intimidated to forgive we see it as strength instead in reality it takes more strength to forgive and to remain hostile and sick and toxic and angry forgiveness is a big idea it's takes a big person to do it. little people can't do it they're too small that to paddy They're too sensitive they are easily-offended you have to be a big person causes it’s a big idea if a person has to embrace it. A big person has to have Eagle Eye Vision who can see the big picture they have to be willing to lose the little battle so they can win the war the one thing Jesus promises that preaches do not preach about we preach about the blessing plans and a healing plans 10 ways to get a blessing the five step plans for healing what we don't understand is Jesus's teaching a blessing plan raised on our attitude he says when your attitude is in a certain way you will walk in Supernatural blessings and He shares A promise that you hardly ever hear any preachers preach about. And consequently we are malnourished and deformed in this area we get the promises about healing and the promises of prosperity and the promises of poverty but let me tell you a promise that you don't hear Jesus told his disciples that offenses will come that's a promise. Offenses will come if you avoid offenses you avoid life. Offenses will come they will come over and over again they will come the longer you live the longer things will offend you it is impossible to hide from it you're not done yet everywhere you go you run into offenses you must understand that your
ability to handle offense will determine your direction for the next twenty or thirty years of your life. Write this down God will promote you to the level of your tolerance to pain. if you cannot handle your pain you lose your promotion if you can't handle it you can't have it if you're too sensitive you can't have it in the corporate world. people who gets the big bucks are paid to handle problems you can't be an executive if you can't handle stress you can't be a manager if your feelings are sensitive you can't run a Corporation if you can't handle problems no one just promote you and put you in a nice office so you can have a nice view of the city with glass all around you if you cannot handle the problems they gave you that View so you can process the problems the big bucks goes to problems handlers people who can solve them people who can make it happen people who can get it done the less you have to be responsible for the smaller of the compensation or check the more you have to deal with the more they pay you they are paying you to deal with problems issues and circumstances it is nothing worse than putting a little person in a big position walking around with their chest all stuck out looking important but never get anything done they can't handle anything angry with everybody they fall out with everybody they power-tripping they have a Napoleon spirit because they're not big enough to manage the position that they are in and they end up being a hater to people who gets things done because they can't handle what has been given unto them so when are you asking for a promotions you asking for problems
get that in your head when you ask for a promotion you're asking for problems you asking for offensive stop asking them to fill your desk without offensive because I can handle it I'm the man for the job I'm here to represent let me put it in the Bible language to whom much is given much is required you can't get the much is given if you're not willing to deal with the much required let me break it down some more new levels new devils the higher you go the more you are going to have to confront with every day. we must be able to handle these offences and when Jesus thought them they said okay how should we handle this should I forgive my brother 7 times Jesus said it has been said you should forgive your brother 7 times but I say you should forgive him 7 times 70 Jesus is not after the numbers he is trying to say I want you to be propitious in your forgiving as soon as you get offended throw it off as you get offended throw it off as soon as you get offended through it off don't let anything collect on you building up or corrode in you or become toxic in you whatever they did and whoever did it they are not worth it is not worth it to allow you to let your history abort your destiny sabotage your promise to end what God Said he will do in your life so you got to be able to shake it off if you're going to be the disciple you gotta shake it off if you're going to be the king you got to shake it off if you're going to be in power you got to be able to shake it off you can't
breathe in air and inhale and not and not exhale you can't have a car that don't have an exhaust pipe you can eat food and not eliminated whatever you do you gotta be able to take it and let out take in and let out taking in and let out and if you stop breathing and if you stop
taking it and letting it out if you stop breathing you die if you plug the exhaust pipe the engine will eventually explode if you're not able to eliminate your body is going to pop you have a system for elimination and you have it in every area except your heart your heart is always taken in offensive after offense after offense and if you're not careful it will begin to damage your attitude and the person that you used to be that you could have been that you would have been it was designed to be begins to erode from toxicity all the build-up of all of these things that has happened to you. You are blessed people we are a blessed people we are
created in Christ Jesus a unique individual that has never been another you thousands upon thousands has been created but there's only been one of you there never will be another you that can walk like you that can talk like you they can't get their hair done like you but there would never be another you. You are a designer's original you are uniquely and wonderfully made you was created by a Creator in his likeness and in His image because your creator made you. You are creative you know you're creative when you can take a little bit of something and do a lot with it. we will make trees into tables because we're creative we can take anything and make something out of it. we didn't have all the stuff years ago in the church our grandparent had washboard and things they turned over pots and start beating on things with sticks and made music. we collect so much offense then we are using all of our energy to manage
our pain and all of the energy that could be going to Ward the abundance of life the Progressive life the promises of God in your life your power is not being used in your destiny because all of your engines are exhausting power maintaining your history forgiveness is not an ideal that dismiss the perpetrator of his responsibilities it is not about the perpetrator it is about liberating the victim he says you abused me once that was your fault but if I continue to regurgitate it over and over again that's my fault I'm not going to live in where I've been when l
have the opportunity cut the cord between me and you and live at where I am trying to go forgiveness doesn't mean that I agree with you it don't mean I think you was right it doesn't mean that you was flawless it just means that I have too much in front of me to worry about the things behind me to leave me incarcerated and bound by you and I am not going to wait for you to forgive me I'm not going to even wait for you to ask for forgiveness because you may not ever ask for forgiveness I can't give you that much power that I put my life on hold waiting on you too come to yourself I'm not going to wait on it I'm not going to wait on you to pay me back you may not ever pay me back the money I'm not going to lose peace over the money I can get some more money if I got some peace so I'm not going to give you that much power and besides some of the people that we need to forgive are dead and if you're waiting on them to say I'm sorry they will never be able to do that but if nobody else cut you loose. You gotta be able to cut yourself loose and say I'm not going to die right here I'm going to let it go you are too big to think that small you are too high to think that low you're too powerful to be that petty
you can't do like your mama did you can't do like your grandma did you got to let it go so when Jesus was teaching his disciples how to be blessed he deals with their attitude because your attitude is going to have everything to do with your altitude your attitude is going to have
everything in the world to do with your altitude so if I was the devil and if I was really trying to stop your progress or terminate your future I can't stop God for blessing you but I can get you out of the alignment where you not having the Blessed attitude to be able to receive what he
has for you now all the sudden you operating at 50% of the woman you could have been 30% of the man you would have been had you not been through what you been through when you carry the toxicity of it begins to poison your soul like cancer so Jesus says the art of survival
necessitates no matter what I throw on you no matter what life throws at you. Get out of it what you can exhale what you can and keep it moving take in what's good throughout what's bad and keep on moving in other words eat the meat and spit out the bones and keep it moving really big people don't act small great people can argue in a courtroom and they can fight over principles they can slim down desk they can declare their position they can argue endlessly then they look at the watch and say Will Jim is 12 o'clock let's get something to eat because big people don't let Petty problems keep them from seeing the bigger picture of what they are supposed to do , but when you have been conditioned to think like a chicken You Can't Fly Like an Eagle you can get the degree like an eagle you may even get the job like an eagle but you always mess it up and fall down from your promotion because you don't have the attitude of
an eagle you got your degree but you don't have the attitude you're pretty enough to be a wife but you don't have the attitude you look like a great woman but you don't have the attitude you can't bond with the man you got now because she was still married to the man you had before as soon as you let go of who you were connected to you can connect to who you got right now you cannot hold on to your history and have your hands out for your destiny tell somebody let it go let it go .You see chickens eat off the ground they eat in the direction of their vision whatever is on the ground they will eat it they will eat sticks they will eat corn they will eat feces they will eat anything they will eat their own waste and the reason they can't fly very high is because of what they eat you can't eat stuff you should have released and still be able to fly on the level you need to fly you don't hear me I'm going to drive the chickens out of here today I want to preach to some Eagles. Eagle’s don't eat feces Eagles don't waste Eagles don't eat off the ground they fly to the top of the mountain are there any eagle's in this place as long as you eat what you should have released you will never fly on the level you needs to fly because you may have the Eagles position but you got a chickens mentality you got to get out of the arms of the chicken and spread your wings and fly with the Eagles your attitude determines your altitude if you can change your attitude you can fly on a different level the reason we are tired of the way we are it's because you got an attitude where we came from how we process offenses is a result of our environment that we was raised in if your dad practice avoidance didn't talk much whenever that was a confrontation he would storm out of the house now you storm out of the house if your mother shook her neck and said let me tell you something when your kids get on your nerves you pop your neck too you didn't learn it in school you didn't take it in college you did pick it up in class it happened to you because it's all around you. You didn't come here being Unforgiven it's not natural to be unforgiving your children are not Unforgiven little babies you could spend one-minute popping them on the legs and the next minute they're loving on you they can get in a fight with a little boy across the street and the parents Fallout but the children be playing again forgiveness is a learned behavior you're trying to defend yourself you're trying to protect yourself but you must understand Unforgiven does not hurt your enemy it hurts you. For you to be unforgiving is like you drinking poison and waiting on him to die so Jesus says boys I'm going to use you like I never used you before but I call you here upon this mountain so that you can have an attitude adjustment because if you can learn that no matter what life hands you. You just threw it off just let it go you going to have to make a decision if you want more from the second half of your life then you had the first half of your life and you're going to have to let the first half go tell somebody Let It Go the scores not even Let It Go didn't get the last word but let it go They never paid you back the money Let It Go if you let go of where you been God will give you so much for where you're going what God has for you is not worthy to be compared to what is behind you forgetting those things which are behind and reaching for those things which are before me Jesus did not come that you might have church but I come that you may have life and have life more abundantly some of us the only joy that we get is in church everybody is
bring their problems to you bring their circumstances to you bringing my burdens to you. You go to bed tired and you wake up tired your drive to work tired you were not designed to deal with this level of stress on you you're not designed to be a dump site for everybody to dump their problems on you. You are not designed to be a destination for everybody has issues everybody's dysfunctions everybody crisis in fact it's a
miracle that you have not had a nervous breakdown already it's a miracle you haven't had a heart attack already it's a miracle that you're not eating out of trash cans somewhere God has sustained you His mercy on you giving Grace on you empowered you because God has a plan for your life you've got to get to the place where you say I don't need this and I don't need that I don't need this Let It Go. This is not about him this is about you. You gotta do this so that you can survive Let It Go who ever am talking to if you're going through it's not that serious Let It Go you have gone as far as you can go with the load that you have been under It's Time to Let It Go as I close Jesus died that you might live he did not die so could just exist he wants you to leave.
