Welcome YouTube family. My name is Joanna [music] and thank you for tuning in today. If you haven't already, please subscribe to our YouTube to stay uptodate each week. We believe God has a powerful word for you today. So, [music] let's dive into this amazing message.
>> The title of my sermon is this is my exodus. This is my exodus. And what that simply means is this is my exit.
>> This is my exit. In other words, there's some things in your life >> that you have to exit out of. >> There's some things in your life that you have to move out of. There are some things in your life >> that needs an exodus. And one of the biggest areas of your life that needs an exodus is the bondage in your life. If you have bondage in any area of your life, it needs an exodus. >> It needs an exit. So, so today, you're going to exit out of your bondage. You're going to exit out of the trauma. You're going to exit out of the brokenness. You're going to exit out of the lies.
Pastor T said something so powerful yesterday and she was talking about how inside of your heart, there's a war between truth and lie. >> And whichever one is planted in your heart will be your reality. Which means that if the lie is planted inside of you, that's going to be your reality. But if the truth is planted inside of you, that's going to be your reality. My question for you, church, is which one do you listen to? Do you listen to the lie or do you listen to the truth? So, I want you to know there is no bondage. >> This is your exodus. >> And as you get ready to go to your Exodus, that God's going to do a private pruning before he release public power. >> God's going to do a private pruning before he release public power. God has to prune you. God has to remove flesh off of you. God has to remove dead things off of you so he can get ready to put some new things inside of you to use you in a new fresh enlightened way. And you're going to have to die to a lot of things. A lot of things you're going to have to die to. Fear, you're going to have to die to anxiety. You're going to have to die to depression. You're going to have [applause] to die to worry. You're going to have to die to these things have to be eradicated because the thing is you cannot cast out the flesh. You can only crucify it. >> You cannot cast out the flesh. You can only crucify it. And you can't carry your cage and your cross at the same time. >> And many of us, we're not carrying our cross because we're carrying our cage. We're not carrying God's blessing because we're carrying bondage. We're not carrying the fruit of the spirit because we're carrying the acts of the flesh. And God is saying, you're going to have to break off the flesh, break off the bondage, break off the lies, and walk in truth and walk in blessing. God wants you to have no bondage. This is your exodus. This is the moment that you're going to break free and step out into everything God's called you to be. Can we give him a shout of praise in this place? [cheering and applause]
>> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> So God's about to emancipate some things in your life. He's about to set you free in some areas. He has some amazing things that he wants to do through you. I love Shadrach, Meshach, and Abedneo because when they were thrown into the fiery furnace, they were tied up and they were thrown inside the furnace. In other words, they were thrown under the fire and the enemy tied them up and they bound him. And when the spirit of God came inside of the furnace, one of the first things he did inside of the furnace, even before they was delivered out of the furnace was he untied them. Why? Because whenever God sees you in bundance, whenever he sees you tied up, the first thing he will do is untie you. You will be in some of the hottest moments of your life, some of the hardest bundance in your life, but God's still going to come untie you because bundance has never been the will of God. And whenever the people of God is tied up, God always unties them. He always set them free. Bundance is not God's plan. He's given you a way out of bondage. This is your exodus.
So, if you have your Bibles, go to Exodus chapter 1. I won't be long today, but I'll try to be strong. >> Thank you, Lord. >> Exodus chapter 1. >> Thank you, Lord. >> You guys are there. Say, ready? >> Deal. Exodus one. And it reads, "Then the Lord said to Moses, go to Pharaoh." If I give let me let me make sure everybody give everyone a chance to get there. I went a little real quick. >> When you guys are there, say ready. >> And we're going to Exodus chapter 8. >> Hey, I said one. Huh? >> First one. I'm sorry, >> man. I'm telling you, after Radiant Girl, I I barely remember where I'm at. I I danced myself crazy. [laughter] Couple of men in the building. We I tell the fellas, I'm like, "This ain't for us. This ain't for us. We forgot. Forgot. This isn't our conference. Ours is coming soon. This isn't ours. >> Exodus 8. Give you guys a second to get there. >> All right. Exodus 8. And we're go to verse one. And it reads, "Then the Lord said to Moses, go to Pharaoh and say to him, thus says the Lord, let my people go that they may serve me. Let my people go that they may serve me. And what it actually means is let my people go. When he says serve, he's talking about worship. He's saying let my people go so they can worship me. Let my people go so they can worship me. So when we extrapolate this verse, we see a couple things. The first thing is God comes to Moses and he says, "Hey, tell Pharaoh, let my people go." >> God wasn't asking, he was demanding. Let me say it again. God wasn't asking. He was demanding. He said, "Tell him to let my people go. to let him go. In other words, the the the the year of bondage is over. Let my people go. >> But when God said, "Let my people go." He wasn't just saying, "Let them go just so they can wonder." He said, "Let them go so they can worship." There was a purpose to getting out of bondage, there was a purpose to getting set free. And that purpose was so they can worship. I want you to know, God don't want to just set you free for the sake of freedom. God says, "I'm going to set you free so you can worship. I'm going to set you free so you can praise. I'm going to set you free so you can walk into the things of God. GOD SAID FOR FREEDOM. HE HAS SET YOU FREE. What does that mean? He's saying that I didn't just SET YOU FREE. I set you free for freedom. What is freedom? It's to freely worship. It's to walk into the things of God. IT'S TO CALL DOWN HEAVEN. It's to make here as in heaven. It's to change things in your life. It's to break generational curses. It's to eradicate bondage. I've set you free for freedom. You're going to go AND BRING FREEDOM TO OTHER PEOPLE. YOU'RE GOING TO EMANCIPATE OTHER people out of their prison cells. Let my people go so they CAN WORSHIP. NOT SO THEY CAN WORRY, so they CAN WORSHIP. NOT SO THEY can wonder, so they can worship. Not so they can be afraid, but so they can worship. In other words, God is saying that worship requires freedom. >> That you cannot truly worship God when you're bound. IT REQUIRES FREEDOM. WHY? Because you can't worship with chains on your hands. God says, "I want your hands lifted high, your heart yielded towards me. Let my people free so they can worship, so they can praise me." >> Come on. And and then when they was getting ready to worship, Pharaoh wanted them to stay close. And Moses said, "No, we got to get three days away from you. We can't be close to bondage and the presence of God at the same time because the presence of God is the antithesis of bondage. We got to get away from Egypt so we can worship God." And some of you guys haven't been able to worship freely. Some of you guys have been musled. Some of you guys have been chained up. And God says, "To your bondage, let his people go." And Pharaoh was just symbolic for bondage. Some of you guys are being held by anxiety and God is saying anxiety let my people go. Some of y'all are being held by fear and God is saying fear let my people go. Some of you guys are being held by lust and God is saying lust let my people go. Let the people of God go. Not just so they can wander but so they can worship. THERE'S A PURPOSE TO your freedom. There's a purpose to your breakthrough. There's a purpose to your deliverance. God isn't just delivering you so you can exit from something. He's delivering you delivering you so you can enter into something. >> God says, "I'm I'm delivering you so you can exit out of bondage, but so you can enter into worship." There's a level of worship God wants to release, and you can't have that worship and be chained up at the same time. >> In other words, your Exodus isn't just about you leaving something. It's about you coming into something new. Can we give him a shout of praise in this place? [cheering] >> [applause] >> In other words, deliverance is not just an escape. Deliverance is an encounter. God says, "I don't just want you to escape bondage. I want you to encounter freedom. I want you to encounter worship. Let my people go so they can worship. >> Don't let them go and be free so they can do what they want to do. Let them go and be free so they can do what they were born to do. >> And they were born to worship. >> Let my people go." So God is saying he's going to call you out of your Egypt, which is just symbolic for your bondage. And he's going to call you into your Canaan, which is symbolic for your promised land. God's calling you out of bondage to the promised land so you can worship him and so you can praise him. And I want you to know this. >> When God was delivering the children of Israel, before he even mentioned the promised land, he said, "I'm delivering you not just so you can go to the promised land. I'm delivering you so you can worship the promised earth. Because if you make it to the promised land before you worship the promiser, you would get to the promised land and make it a land of idolatry. >> And when we capitalize on promised land and we minimize on promise, sir, all of a sudden God's destination becomes idolatry against him. God can take you to a place that you can use against him. There's people that God has given a platform and your platform has you further from God than you were before you had THE PLATFORM. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD say you DON'T NEED THE PROMISED LAND. You need the promiser. Then the promiser takes you to the promised land. >> So God wants his people free so they can worship. Exodus chapter 3 verse 21-22. And it says, "And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians." So they're getting ready to go into the Exodus. And God said, "I'm going to give you favor into the sight of the in in in in the sight of the Egyptians." Now, God was being a little petty here because he had released the 10 plagues. In other words, he was like, "They going to be scared of you." >> Favor could be loving you or fearing you. >> Okay? Hey, when you when you walk in when you walk in a place you love, you like, I feel the favor. You walk in, you fear, you feel it, too. >> So he said, you're going to have favor in the sights of the Egyptians. And it shall be when you go that you shall not go empty-handed. [clears throat] But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles, articles of gold, and clothing. and you should put them on your sons and daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians. >> Plunder the Egyptians. What is the Bible talking about? Here's what God is saying. God is telling them, "Hey, I'm about to deliver you out of bondage, >> but before I deliver you out of bondage, I have a request. >> I want you to go to the Egyptians. I want you to ask him for articles of gold, articles of silver and clothing. He says, "Because when I deliver you from bondage, I'm not delivering you empty-handed." >> In other words, you're not going to leave bondage empty-handed. [applause] You're going to leave bondage with plunder. What is plunder? Plunder is is is a cool word because plunder is whenever you go to war against an enemy, whichever camp wins that battle in war, they take the plunder from the other camp. They take the gold, the wealth, the riches. It's not called it's it's called plunder because it's yours through victory. You got a right to it through victory. God says, "I want you to go get plunder from the eviction from the Egyptians." IN OTHER WORDS, SPIRITUAL WARFARE BROKE OUT and you are victorious. Spiritual warfare broke out and you have won. I want you to go get plunder. I want you to get the gold. I want you to get the silver. I want you to get the clothing. WHY? BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LEAVING BONDAGE EMPTY-HANDED. WHEN YOU WAS IN BONDAGE, I want you TO KNOW THAT YOUR BONDAGE WAS a seed of blessing. Your bondage was a seed of blessing. God says, "I'M NOT JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU WHAT you lost. I'm going to GET YOU WHAT YOU should have earned." When there was WHEN THERE WAS IN BONDAGE, there was things that they lost, but there was things they should have earned. And God says, "Not only am I going to restore what the devil stole from you, I'm going TO GIVE YOU WHAT HE TOOK FROM SOMEBODY ELSE." YOU'RE GETTING SOME PLUNDER. And I want to tell you, some of you guys have BEEN IN BONDAGE, TRAUMA, STRESS, AND ANXIETY. AND YOU NEED TO GO to the DEVIL'S CAMP. AND NOT JUST DEMAND WHAT HE STOLE FROM YOU, BUT DEMAND PLUNDER. DEMAND PLUNDER. I WANT double for my trouble. I want sevenfold for my trouble. IN OTHER WORDS, I WAS OKAY AT FIRST BEFORE I FOUND BONDAGE, BUT NOW I'M GOING to be great. I was kind of making it. OH, BUT OVERFLOW'S COMING NOW. I WANT PLUNDER. >> God could have delivered them out of Egypt, but he says, I want you to get plunder from your bondage. And I want to tell you as God is delivering you before you go into your Exodus, make sure you grab your plunder. >> In other words, I need a return on the bondage. >> I need a return on the bondage. >> I need a return on the bondage. In other words, God is saying, YOU NEED A HARVEST FOR YOUR HARDSHIP. >> You need a harvest for your hardship. There's an harvest for your hardship. When you sow in tears, you reap in joy. In other words, there's a joy I'm going to reap because of the tears that I sow. [applause] >> So God is saying because of the abundance the enemy's put you through, that was unfair. So now the blessing you're going to walk in is going to be unfair. The the the Holy Spirit anointing you're going to walk in is going to be unfair. When you CALL DOWN HEAVEN, IT'S GOING TO FALL IN AN UNFAIR WAY BECAUSE THE SAME WAY THE BONDAGE WAS UNFAIR. THE BLESSING is going to be unfair. THE BREAKTHROUGH IS GOING TO BE unfair >> because they took YOUR GRAPES. YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO A PROMISED LAND WHERE GRAPES in the land flows of milk and honey because it was unfair to you. That molestation WAS UNFAIR. NOT GROWING UP WITH YOUR PARENTS WAS UNFAIR. SO THE blessing in the return IS GOING TO BE JUST AS UNFAIR. OH, GIVE GOD a praise and shout. [cheering and applause] God says you're leaving >> captivity compensated. Let me say it again. You're leaving captivity compensated. >> You're leaving. You >> will not leave your bondage broke. >> Thank you, Lord. >> God says he is bringing >> plunder. So in other words, he was telling them, >> I want you to put a demand on the enemy. >> Should have put a demand on the enemy. >> What does it mean? If they would have asked the Egyptians two weeks prior >> for plunder, they would have got laughed at. >> But God has a way to settle the score. >> He has a way to settle the score. He sent the 10 plagues and they gladly gave up plunder. Here you want you want the jacket too. >> Dad, a suit like Pastor Tish. You want that too? HERE WE GO. PUT THAT ON your kids. >> But but but look at the Bible. The scripture says, I want you to get the articles of silver gold in their clothing >> and I want you to put it on your children. break it down. >> In other words, he's saying when you break this generational curse abundance, there's a blessing that's going to fall on your household. THERE'S A BLESSING THAT'S going to fall ON YOUR CHILDREN. NOT ONLY AM I GOING TO REPAY YOU, BUT YOUR CHILDREN IS GOING TO FALL INTO THAT BLESSING. THEY'RE GOING TO GET A HARVEST. THEY'RE GOING TO GET A BREAKTHROUGH. YOUR DAUGHTER WON'T GO THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. YOUR SON WON'T GO THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. The blessing WILL FALL ON YOUR CHILDREN. THERE'S A RETURN COMING TO YOUR HOUSEHOLD. YOUR DAUGHTER'S GOING TO BE A STRONG WOMAN OF GOD BECAUSE of what the devil did TO YOU. YOUR SON'S GOING TO BE A STRONG MAN OF GOD BECAUSE OF WHAT THE DEVIL DID TO YOU. YOU'RE going to take something from bondage and the blessing is going to fall on your kids. [cheering] >> Because God SAID IF THERE'S A GENERATIONAL CURSE, THEN THERE'S A GENERATIONAL BLESSING. [cheering] [applause] >> IF YOUR ABUNDANCE CAN FALL TO YOUR KIDS, so can your blessing. [cheering] If if SOME OF YOU GUYS GOT BUNISH BECAUSE OF WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DONE AND GOD SAYS YOUR KIDS ARE going to have blessing because of what someone else done or if you believe that the blessings going to fall in your household, give God a 10-second praise break in this place. [cheering] [applause] >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> So, you put a demand, you put a demand, >> you put a demand on bondage. So God is so kind >> that he allows your handicap to become your handiwork. >> So any area >> I know you were always taught that your destiny is in the area that you're most passionate about and that may be true >> but sometimes your destiny is in the area you was most broken in. >> [applause] >> BECAUSE the devil always makes your circumstances contradict calling. >> Wow. >> Which means Moses, if I'm going to call you to be a deliverer, I'm going to put you in bondage. >> If I'm going to call you to be a speaker, the devil's going to make you stutter. >> Abraham, if I'm going to call you a great man of faith, you're going to be a doubter. Peter, if I'm going to call you to walk in boldness, you're going to be a coward >> because the devil is going to tempt you in the area of your treasure. >> So sometimes what I went through is actually an indicator of what I'm called to. [cheering and applause] >> It's an indicator. It's an indicator. Some of you guys have struggles and that struggle is actually a sign of your destiny. [cheering] It's a sign. It's a sign. It's a sign. Moses, you're in abundance because you are a deliverer. And when you look inside of the Bible, all across the book, you see, >> the enemy fighting people at a young age, >> hoping that they would never find their identity. >> That's right. That's right. >> And most of the time, their identity is in the very area he fought them in. >> That's right. David, you are in the field being treated like a peasant because the devil wants to deceive you with lies. And he wants you to look around you and see everything around you. You're being treated like a peasant. He wants to deceive you with lies so you don't know there's a king on the inside of you. >> Why did he get left in the field? He got left in the field because the enemy wanted to confuse his identity. I want you to know something. When the enemy gets a whiff of what you called to do, even when you're young, he wants to confuse your identity. [applause] >> He wants to confuse it. He wants to confuse it. He wants to confuse it. So, what you've been through is an indicator of what you're called to. >> What you called to. Some of you guys grew up in here, you didn't have a father. God's going to use you as a father figure. Some of you guys, you didn't have no one to show you love and support. God's going to use you to show others love and support. What you've been through is an indicator of what you're called to. >> Thank you, Lord. >> That's right. >> So, all throughout the Bible, >> circumstances contradict >> calling. It contradicts calling and you can go through it. You look at Joseph. He's in prison. What is a prince doing in prison? >> Right? >> You're a prince. Why are you in prison? Wow. >> Because prison is the place that would most make you feel less like a prince. >> Uhhuh. >> So the enemy is going to put you in a place that makes you feel less like your identity. >> So yeah, Joseph, you're going to be in a prison because you're a prince and the enemy doesn't want you to know. But just because you're in the prison doesn't mean that you're still not a prince. >> Because a prince isn't a prince isn't just a position you hold. It's a posture that you hold. It's a posture. >> It's a posture. So, so, so, so any area of something you've been through is an indicator of what you're called to. >> Okay. Go to Exodus 14. We're going to dig a little deeper. Can I go deeper? >> Like we're having a morning Bible study. Let's go. >> Thank you, Lord. [clears throat] >> Exodus 14. Give you guys a second to get there. Exodus 14 verse 10. It says, "As Pharaoh approached the Israelites, look up and there, look up and there were the Egyptians marching after them. >> They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? >> Did we say to you in Egypt, leave us alone? Didn't we say to you in Egypt, leave us alone?" [clears throat] >> Let us serve the Egyptians. It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert. >> That's right. >> Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. >> The Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. I'm going to jump down to verse 21. >> It says, "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, >> and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on their right and on their left. Wow. Wow. Wow. So, we're going to break this down a little bit. Um, Pharaoh had released the Israelites and they had been released, but Pharaoh's getting a little a little frantic and stuff like that, you know. So he seen the plague. So he released them and all of a sudden he had a change of heart [clears throat] and the Egyptians is marching after the Israelites. But the Israelites are terrified because what does the enemy do? The enemy always marches. He makes commotion. He makes a loud noise because after you get delivered, he wants you to be terrified because fear will bring you back to bondage. The moment they got afraid, they start saying, "Why did we come out here? Why did you bring us out of Egypt? We should have went back. Is there not any graves in Egypt? If we're gonna die out here in the desert, we might as well die back in Egypt. And now all of a sudden, because they're afraid, fear always makes you go back to what's familiar. Fear always sends you back to what's familiar. So they wanted to go back to what was familiar because they was afraid. This is what fear always does. And Moses is like, "No, you're going to see the deliverance of the Lord. The Lord is going to deliver you." In other words, he's not going to halfway deliver you. And I see why the Lord would get so frustrated with the children of Israel because you just saw God unleash 10 plagues. You just saw him do incredible things. You just saw the death angel pass over your doorframe with blood on it. You just saw him cover the land with locust. You saw him move supernaturally. And then the moment you hear some marching, you're going to doubt God. You're going to feel like you're going to die. You feel like everything's going to fall apart. And I just want you to know that when you get delivered, the devil marches behind you to make you doubt. >> Some of you guys got delivered yesterday. You're going to wake up today and doubt. Did I really get delivered? Did I really get set free? Do I need to go back? Is it even worth walking out of this bondage? [music] I mean, yes, I want to be pure, but he's going to call me tonight. Yes. Yes, I don't want to be afraid, but can I really do it? Can I really make it on my own? And all of a sudden, you're going to start having doubts. And fear will always try to send you back to what's familiar. But you have to rebuke the devil and say, "I will see the deliverance of the Lord today. I will see the deliverance of the Lord." Lord, the Lord did not start me on this journey to leave me here to die. He will complete the work that he started in ME. HE THAT'S FAITHFUL to start a work in you is faithful enough to bring it to completion. God didn't just start this work in you. He's going to complete it. He's going to finish it. >> God's going to finish this work. So now they're getting frantic and then Moses has said, "No, no, no, no. God's about to do something." And then all of a sudden they're walking towards the Red Sea >> and they look to the right and Pharaoh's army's coming and they look to the left and his army's coming and they look behind and his arm is coming and now they're surrounded by his army and the only thing that's in front of them is a Red Sea. >> But at this point, >> God, >> we have nohere to go. >> That's right. That's right. >> And I just wish they knew that their God can turn seas into highways. >> [applause] >> Because when God be before you, you always got somewhere to go. >> You always got somewhere to go. And sometimes when you can't go north, east, south, or west, you can go up. [applause] >> You can go up. And that's when you go to prayer. There's times what's what's in front of you looks bad. What's to the left, the right, what's behind you look bad. You go up in prayer. >> You go up in prayer. And when you go up in prayer, God will come down in power and he will split the Red Sea right before your very eyes and he will bring dry land to an ocean so you can have safe passage. This is the God you serve. [applause] And Moses stretches out his rod and God splits the Red Sea in such a beautiful way that literally it makes a wall. There's a wall of water on one side and a wall of water on the next side. God like Radiant Girl, they got all kind of decorations. He just then decorated the sea. Water on the right, water on the left. And they literally have dry ground to walk through. And now they're walking through this dry ground. He made the sea and highway. >> This is the God you serve. And now they're walking through the Red Sea. >> And the question is why? >> Why they're walking through the Red Sea? Because the Red Sea is symbolic for Jesus's blood. And now when you get ready to exit out of bondage and you get ready to have your exodus, you got to walk through red sea. You got to walk through red blood because the blood of Jesus covers your sins. The blood of Jesus covers your faults. The blood of Jesus covers your guilt. The blood of Jesus covers your sin. And when you walk THROUGH THE BLOOD, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ANXIETYY'S behind you. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF FEAR'S behind you. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF PORNOGRAPHY IS BEHIND YOU. It doesn't matter if depression is behind you because when you WALK THROUGH THE RED SEA, WHAT THE RED SEA IS FOR YOU IS A place of deliverance. But what it is FOR YOUR SIN, IT'S A PLACE OF DESTRUCTION. Because when an Egyptian starts walking through the Red Sea, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE WATER THAT DELIVERED YOU DESTROYED THEM. >> You're going to make IT OUT THROUGH HIS BLOOD, BUT YOUR DEPRESSION WON'T. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT THROUGH HIS BLOOD, BUT YOUR SHAME WON'T. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT THROUGH HIS BLOOD, BUT YOUR FEAR WON'T. [applause] >> [cheering] >> WHAT GOD USED TO DELIVER YOU IS WHAT HE'S USING TO DESTROY SIN, DESTROY BONDAGE, DESTROY FEAR, DESTROY GUILT. >> The sea was red because God was showing them this is my blood. >> And whenever you're in bondage and you're surrounded by bondage and you're surrounded by Egypt and you're surrounded by Pharaoh, you're surrounded. You have nowhere to go. The only way you can go is through the blood of Jesus. >> It's through the blood. Through the blood is the only way. And this is why the sea was red. It was symbolic for the blood of Jesus. >> Yes. >> And I want you to know >> your deliverance is through the blood. >> That's right. >> The the children of Israel didn't just go through the Red Sea. You did, too. It was called his blood. >> When you call on Jesus, you literally cross over from bondage and you go through the Red Sea of his blood. And his blood is the entryway to your exodus. >> Thank you, Lord. >> And this is what the Lord wants to do through you. This is what the Lord wants to do for you. This is your exodus. I want to tell you, this is your time to exit out of fear. This is your time to exit out of shame. This is your time to exit out of the abuse you endured. This is my exodus. I'm not going back no more. This is my exodus. I'm not going back to Egypt. I'm not going back to sin. I'm not going back to fear. This is my exodus. This is my breakthrough point. This is my blast point. This is my victory point. THIS IS MY EXODUS. SOMEONE SAY, "THIS >> is >> my >> exodus." Give God a shout of praise. [cheering] [applause]
>> So, why does some people never get to their exodus? Some people never get to their exodus because they have become buddies >> with bondage. Wow. >> They became buddies with bondage. And why do you become buddies with bondage? Is because bondage is familiar. >> Do you know that sometimes breakthrough is unfamiliar? >> Sometimes you've been bound so long THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO AS YOU'RE FREE. >> You start looking back at Egypt being free. I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN BOUND SO LONG THAT IT'S WEIRD being free. >> Holy Ghost. >> I'VE BEEN ON DRUGS SO LONG THAT IT'S WEIRD NOT not taking a pill. I'VE BEEN IN ALCOHOLISM SO LONG, IT'S WEIRD NOT HAVING A BOTTLE. >> I'VE BEEN IN PORN SO LONG, IT'S WEIRD NOT HAVING LUST and cravings taken over my body. And now you don't even know how to go to your Canaan because all you can do is meditate on your Egypt. >> My God. >> And you have to know something. Before God can do deliverance, he has to first do departure. >> You have to depart. THE BIBLE SAYS GET OUT AMONG FROM THEM. YOU HAVE TO DEPART. THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU GOT TO DEPART. SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE IN SOME RELATIONSHIPS. YOU GOT TO BREAK THAT THING OFF. SOME OF YOU GUYS GOT ARE IN PLACES YOU GOT TO BREAK THEM OFF. SOME OF YOU GUYS have relationships, jobs, things that you're connected to. And God said you're going to have to break those things off BECAUSE BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE a deliverance, YOU GOT TO FIRST HAVE A DEPARTURE. BEFORE YOU CAN WALK INTO WHAT GOD IS CALLING YOU TO WALK INTO, YOU got to walk OUT OF WHAT BOUND YOU AND HELD YOU CAPTIVE. You need a departure so you can get a deliverance. >> But you're NOT GOING TO DEPART WHEN YOU BECOME BUDDIES WITH BONDAGE. >> You can't be buddies with bondage. This is your moment to get free. You have to depart before God can do what he's going to do through you. You have to depart. Before he took them through the Red Sea, he made them depart from Egypt. >> That's right. >> You have to be willing to depart. Are you ready to leave? Come on. >> My God. [applause] >> Thank you, Lord. >> It's comfortable here. I really like it here. >> Nice setup over here. I don't want to leave yet. >> You've made buddies. Abundance. >> It's true. >> You've made buddies. >> With bondage, you have to be willing to leave. And so many people come to church every week and they don't get what God has for them because they're not willing to depart. and they come to church over and over and they stay the same. They never change because they won't depart. And what you have to know about the church is the church is a labor room. And you come here every week and you still don't get delivered. [crying] [cheering] >> This is a labor room. >> And you come every week and still don't get delivered. And if you HAVE IF YOU HAVE BEEN DELIVERED, YOU NEED TO COME BACK AND become a midwife TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE GET DELIVERED. GOD, YOU BROKE ME OUT of bondage. NOW I'M GOING TO BREAK THEM OUT OF BONDAGE. YOU SET ME FREE. NOW I'M GOING TO SET THEM FREE. You untie my chains. I'm going to untie THEIR CHAINS. OKAY, I'M OUT OF BONDAGE. LET ME MAKE SURE MY KIDS are out. Okay, let me MAKE SURE MY SON IS OUT, MY DAUGHTER'S OUT. >> ONCE I'VE BEEN SET FREE, NOW I'M A MIDWIFE. I'M COMING BACK TO THE LABOR ROOM. AND BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DELIVERED, NOW I'M COMING TO DELIVER. >> AH, >> THIS IS YOUR EXODUS. >> This is your Exodus. I'm going to get ready to close. I got one more scripture. >> Numbers 11. Numbers >> 11. >> Numbers 11. >> We'll start with verse four. >> Thank you, Lord. >> Thank you, Lord. >> Numbers 11 verse4. And it reads, it says, "Now the mixed multitudes who were among them yielded to intense cravings." >> They yielded. I want you to know, don't yield to your intense cravings >> because it will always lead you back to Egypt. >> So the children of Israel also wept again and said, >> "Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt. >> The cucumbers, the melons, the leaks, the onions, the garlic. They was eating good over there. Thanksgiving was feeding me good. But now our WHOLE BEING IS DRIED UP. >> You ever felt like that on the diet? You're like, "MY WHOLE BEING IS JUST DRIED UP. There's nothing AT ALL EXCEPT THIS MANA BEFORE OUR EYES. This healthy food, these these veggies." So, so, so now they've been delivered and they're frustrated >> and they're frustrated in their deliverance because all they could remember is their bondage. >> My God. >> And now they're in their deliverance like >> there was meat in Egypt. >> Cucumbers, garlic, leaks. I mean, and we're just eating this, mana. I'm tired of this bread. You know, you get off your diet, you like, I want some Oreos. Chocolate chip cookies. >> Pecan pie. >> Some ribs. >> Want this. >> And now instead of looking forward, they're looking backwards. >> It's so true. >> Maybe this is the key to why people keep going back to bondage. because you felt like it fed you better. >> I know I'm waiting on a husband, but I mean we did used to Netflix and chill. I mean >> I mean it WAS BETTER THAN JUST BEING BY MYSELF. I mean >> and now all of a sudden we don't want to obey God because we're tired of mana. >> YEAH. YEAH. I I GOT PEACE. I'M NOT ARGUING, BUT IT'S KIND of bland. This mana is kind of bland. I MEAN, I HAD GARLIC OVER HERE. YEAH, IT WAS A LITTLE DRAMA, BUT HEY, I WAS EXCITED. I WAS OKAY. I I WAS OCCUPIED. >> So now all of a sudden, the deliverance isn't enough no more because it's too bland. And now you WANT TO GO BACK TO EGYPT because you missed a step. When God takes YOU OUT OF EGYPT, HE DON'T TAKE YOU TO CANAAN, the promised land. He takes you out of Egypt into the wilderness. And the reason why he takes you into the wilderness is because he KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE WITHDRAWALS. And you got to work out YOUR WITHDRAWALS IN THE WILDERNESS. GOD SAYS ONCE I DELIVER YOU, I HAVE TO DETOX YOU FROM YOUR BONDAGE BECAUSE NOW I GOT YOU OUT OF EGYPT. I GOT TO GET EGYPT OUT OF YOU. I GOT YOU OUT OF BONDAGE, BUT NOW I GOT TO GET BONDAGE OUT OF YOU. I GOT YOU OUT OF FEAR, BUT NOW I GOT TO GET FEAR OUT OF YOU. YOU GOT TO SAY, >> I have to detox you now. And you're having withdrawals. And the reason why I have to detox you IS EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE OUT OF EGYPT, your cravings is calling it. >> YOU'RE OUT OF LUST, BUT YOUR BODY'S CALLING FOR LUST AGAIN. YOU DON'T WATCH PORN, BUT YOUR BODY'S CALLING FOR IT. YOU DON'T DRESS, YOUR BODY'S CALLING FOR IT. AND NOW GOD SAYS, YOU HAVE TO BE DETOXED AFTER YOU'RE DELIVERED BECAUSE YOUR EMOTIONS WAS CONDITIONED for your bondage. God, >> you don't gossip no more, BUT YOU WANT TO GRAB THE PHONE CUZ SOMETHING in me just GOT TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED. And God says, >> "After I deliver you, >> I have to detox you >> in the wilderness from your withdrawals >> before I take you to the promised land because I can't allow you to go into Canaan >> still craving Egypt." >> Oh my God. >> You can't go into Canaan still craving Egypt. So what God is wanting to do in you is he's wanting to break off the cravings, break off the withdrawals, break off the detox. So when YOU'RE IN THE WILDERNESS, YOU'RE DETOXING. YOU'RE ON mana because you're detoxing from those appetites. You're detoxing FROM THOSE PLACES. YOU'RE DETOXING FROM THOSE ATMOSPHERES. You're detoxing FROM THOSE MINDSETS. PASTOR T SAID SOMETHING SO POWERFUL YESTERDAY. SHE said that your abundance isn't made up of bars. It's made up of beliefs. God is detoxing you from beliefs. There's beliefs that can't go into THE PROMISED LAND. THERE'S beliefs that can't go into your blessing. There's beliefs that's FROM YOUR HISTORY THAT GOD DON'T WANT TO TOUCH YOUR DESTINY BECAUSE IT will pollute it. GOD HAS TO DETOX YOU before he destiny you. God says, "I will deliver you, DETOX YOU, THEN I WILL DESTINY YOU." Many of you guys are never destiny because you never make it through the detox. And some of you guys aren't even detoxing because you ain't even been delivered yet >> while while sitting in the labor room. >> And God is saying >> in the spirit it's time for you to dilate because he's about to burst something and to deliver something. He's about to release something. I FEEL THE WATER BREAKING IN THE SPIRIT. I FEEL A DELIVERANCE COMING. I FEEL A HEALING COMING. GOD'S ABOUT TO SET YOU FREE. BREAK THE BACK OF THE DEVIL. BREAK THE BACK OF THE ENEMY. AND HE'S ABOUT TO TRANSFORM YOU INTO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, GIVE GOD A PRAISE BREAK IN THIS PLACE. [cheering] [applause] >> And detox always hurts. before it heals. >> Wow, what a powerful message. We hope it [music] blessed you. Make sure to share it with your friends, your family members, and your co-workers so that they can be blessed as well.
