What To Do In A Valley (Jabin Chavez)

Citylight Church in Las Vegas. He and his wife Shannon planted this church just a couple of years ago, and since then they've just seen God do unbelievable, miraculous things. People come in and know the Lord just by the hundreds and just see seeing the evidence of God's faithfulness. He's been a friend of Pastor Stevens in our ministry for several years now, and I believe God gave him a word specifically for our church, for me and you this week, and so help me. Welcome Pastor Javin Chaven

right now. Everybody, come on, keep those hands together, Let's give God some praise. Wow. Greetings from Las Vegas. Anyone been to Vegas. Can I see your hands? Wow, a couple more hands than I was expecting. Okay, Well, if you're ever in Vegas, come say hi to us at City Light Church. And if you if you had a really good night on Saturday night, bring a little offering

with you, Amen, Praise the Lord. If you had a really bad night, we'll lay hands on you and cast the devil out of you and send you back home holy and healthy and delivered. But we were very grateful to be here. And my wife sends her love as she's holding it down for us today back home, and I want to go straight to God. This is Ezekiel thirty seven. I'm going to read out of the message translation, so you may just want to fall along on the screen.

I'm gonna read about ten verses to you, and then we're just gonna I'm all preach quick, and we're gonna sing that song again. Amen. And then I'm gonna eat fried chicken because I'm in the South, and that's a true story that's really gonna happen. Ezekiel thirty seven. Verse one, God grabbed me, and God's spirit he took me up and he sat me down in the middle of an open plain covered in bones. He led me around and among them a lot of bones. There were bones all

over the plain, dry bones, bleached by the sun. And he said to me, son of Man, can these bones live? I said, Master, God, only you know that, And he said, prophesy over the bones. Speak to the bones, dry bones, listen to the message of God. God, the Master told the dry bones, watch this. I'm bringing the breath of life to you. You'll come to life. I'll attach sin yous to you. I'll put meat on your bones. I'll come you a skin. I'll breathe life into you. You'll

come alive, and you'll realize that I'm God. So I prophesied, just as I'd been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, oh a wrestling. The bones moved together and boned a bone. I kept watching sinews form and then muscles on the bones, and then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them. So he said, prophesied to the breath. Prophesy, son of Man, tell the breath, God, the Master says, come from the four winds, come breath.

Breathe on these slang bodies. Breathe life. So I prophesied, as he commanded me, and the breath entered them. They came alive, and they stood up on their feet a huge army. I want to preach this for a couple of moments this morning, from the subject what to do in a valley? What to do in a valley? Father, thank you for your word. Thank you for this moment. And I do thank you for your word. It is living, it's active, supernatural, it holds the power of life and death.

And I thank you Lord that one word from God can change our entire life. So we're praying today that you would speak to us. We're listening, we're expecting. I'm praying for a tailor made word today, the right word for every person in every season in the room. Go beyond my voice, be the wheel within the wheel. I say what you need to say to every one of us, so that we could all leave church today saying I heard from God and I'll never be the same. This

is our prayer in Jesus' name. And everyone said Amen. And if you are believing God for a word, let's clap our hands some more time, and let's let the Lord know we're ready. I'm ready. What to do in a Valley? I guess I need to start by telling you I wish I could preach how to have a valley free life. Yo, that would be bomb. Hey, here's seven steps, do these things. No more valleys, wouldn't that be great? No more valleys? What a great book. I'm

all write a book. No more valleys. Would't that be great? Going through a valley? Hey, may you've seen have more faith? You see him, Believe God. Don't have to go through that. But I've come to learn that he is the God of the mountain, but he is the God of the valley. I've learned that valleys are necessary, and I've learned that God does a great work in me that he can only do in the valley. I want to remind someone today that there is no fruit on the mountaintop. There

is only fruit in the valley. I've learned that God wants to do something great through me, so he must first do something very deep in me, and he can only do that in the valley. The valley is the stretching place. The valley is the place that, when you're in it, you think it's warfare. If you're a costal like me, you plead the blood you speak in tongues, you cast out devils, you annoint with oil, You get your intercessors to lay hands on you. You start sending offering.

The TV preachers come on somebody, because you think I'm under attack, only to find out on the other side of it, it was not a demonic spirit, but the Holy Spirit that led you into the wilderness, led you into the desert, led you into the valley to do something in you that could not happen outside of the valley. So I've learned to love the valley. The valley is the gem of the Holy Spirit. Now I've never been to a gym, but I heard Chunks told me. Pastor

Steven told me the gym's good for me. I heard it's good for me. I'm gonna try it out one day. I'm thirty six. It ain't looking too good, but it's that place that it hurts when you're in it, but it's actually good for you, and when you come out of it, you go, thank you Jesus for the valley. I want to remind someone you're not gonna die in the valley, because though you go through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, you don't have to fear any evil because his rod and his staff, they do come

for you. Goodness and mercy are following you. You're coming out of the valley, and you're gonna come out with everything God has for you in the valley. But I have learned that there's some things you have to do when you're in it so that it actually does make you better and bigger and stronger and doesn't destroy you. And I think there's some things from the text today that we can find that will help you, and they've helped me, and I believe that God's really going to

speak to you today. So let me just give you a few things today. If you're taking notes, write these down. If you're not taking notes, write these down. Ah, I'm embarrassed that I did that, but I'm a dad and a senior pastor, so that was like a bad senior pastor dad joke. But I'm okay with it, like I'm I'm doing me okay. Number one. Number one, never forget this. God is with you in the valley. God is with you in the valley. Ezekiel starts the text by saying, God,

grab me in the valley. Now. I do appreciate and love the poetic king James that says that the hand of the Lord was upon me. But I kind of like that gritty rated our version, the message that said God grabbed me. And I think if you've served God long enough, you know there are just times where God has to grab you. Yeah. Yeah, I preaching anybody. There's times where you let go of God. But thank you Jesus, he didn't let go of me. There's times I've run

from God, but He's run after me. There's times I've tried to hide from God, but he is awesome at hide and seek. He just has a way of finding me. I want to tell someone today, you feel like you're in a valley. You feel like you're all alone. You feel like there are bones everywhere, you feel like they're dry bones bleached by the sun. But I want to remind you God's with you. The hand of the Lord is upon you, and he is not letting go. And

God is doing something in you in the valley. Don't let the valley lie to you and tell you you're alone. Don't let circumstances intimidate you and tell you is over. I will take a valley with Jesus over a mountaintop without him, because as long as I have Jesus, I have possibilities, I have a future, I have a promise. Give me Jesus in any situation, I'll take that. God's with you in the valley. And you may not feel it. You may not be able to clap for that yet.

You may you may be saying Amen, but in your heart you're going I don't feel it. That's okay. We don't live by feelings. And when I cannot trace his hand, I can trust his heart. God's doing something in me right now. I don't see it all yet, but I do know I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living. I do know God is doing something great right now, and I can't really sense it. I can't really see it. I can't really feel it. Quite frankly, it took every ounce of faith

just to get here this morning. But I do believe that God is still doing a work in my life. And maybe you feel today like Jamn, I just feel like all of hell is against me. I just feel like I am coming up literally against the gates of Hell. That's actually good because Jesus said the gates of Hell won't prevail against the Church, and you is the church. And that means that if you're coming up against hell, that is the devil's last defense to try to stop

you before you inherit everything God has for you. So you might as well just clap your hands and shout and thank God in advance that you are about to cross over into something good. Come on, God has good days for you. God has good things for you. And while he's doing a good work in me, I will not quit. God's with you in the valley. Number two, number two, Look, look, look, look for the possibility. Look for the possibility. Hey, Ezekiel, Okay, I get it, I

get it. I get it. Bones everywhere, yeah, verse one, verse two, bones everywhere, try bones, spleach by the sun. Bones, bones, bones but the bone, bone bone, but bones. I s brought my nineties children right there. Bones. I get it. But Ezekiel, can can they live? I'm remembering Pastor's message from two weeks ago. I caught a thought because because eight jokers walked into that promised lane and said, there's

giants and the land's going to eat us up. And two other guys, Caleb and Joshua, said, we're well able. Same circumstance, same enemy, same bones, same valley, same situation, same promise. Eight guys couldn't believe it. Two guys could believe it. I'm not making light of your situation. I'm just telling you God is greater than your situation. I'm not making light of your giants. I'm just telling you God's bigger than your giants. I'm not making light of

your valley and the bones that are surrounding you. I'm just telling you. I'm begging you today to look for the possibility. I'm begging you today to forget about all the stuff that's going wrong, and for one moment, gaze your eyes on Jesus. Look at him, Focus on him, look at this from his perspective. As Ekiel said, I was standing in a valley, but then God sat me down and he said, look at it from my perspective. There's something about seeing it from where God sees it.

There's something about God's perspective. There's something about saying, I'm not in denial of my situation, but I choose to see this through the lens of faith and not the lens of doubt. I refuse to just keep talking about it, and I'm going to see this from God's possibility, Look for the possibility. And y'all we all have this, this natural bent towards doubt, don't we all right? No one said amen in Valentine. But I know y'all shout me

down on the other campuses. I know it. Driving on the road, tire blows out, like, man, the devil's after my tires. I just know. No, you're cheap. You were supposed to change your tires six months ago, and you then hold it out. Air conditioner breaks in your house, I'll be in the devil's after our ac No. No, I don't think so. I think you're good. I think life is life. It's amazing. When it's rainy outside, you're like, oh my gosh, ma arthritis. I just know it's gonna be.

But when it's sunny outside, you're like, oh man, we're in a trout. God's judging America. You know, it's always something. It's like, don't don't choose to see everything through through a negative lens. Choose to see the possibility. Today used to say, man, I'm going through a lot, But at least I made it to church. At least I got to praise God with some brothers and sisters at least, I'm still hearing the word of the Lord. I think God still has a future for me. I refuse to

die in my doubt. I'm gonna believe God. Look look for the possibility. To Ezekiel it was hopeless, But to God, the situation was perfect for a miracle. Look for the possibility, and Niomiah thirteen to two. Niemiah said, our God can turn a curse into a blessing. Can I just tell you God can turn it around? Can I tell you life can get better? But while you're waiting on life to get better, you can get better. Yeah. And while you're waiting on things to turn around in your life,

things can turn around in your heart. And you don't have to be a victim to circumstance. Look for the possibility. Number three. I have to admit this is my favorite point. Take a step into the unknown. Touch your neighbor, Tell him take a step, take a step. That neighbor was so stuck up. Touch somebody else, tell him take a step, take a step, take a step, take a step, take a step. They were rude to you. Did you feel

that they were rude? They're still a little hungover from last night, They're like, what take a step, Hey, Ezekiel, can these bones live? Lord? Uh? You know that was a really kind and sweet and really Southern way of saying, I don't know your God? Why you asking men? God is never asking us questions because he doesn't know the answer. He knows he's God. He's trying to give us a revelation. He's trying to level up our faith. He's trying to build us up. And he's not asking a question because

he doesn't know the answer. He's asking us a question because he wants to reveal something to us. Isel can these bones live? And his eqal says Lord you know, yeah, Yeah, God will take a yes with a question mark. Yeah. And the higher picture of voices, the less faith you have. Can these bones live? Y'all? Never squeaked? Thank God for this loud music, huh, because sometimes all you can get out is a God's okay with a squeak, God's okay. I think he appreciates the yes with a exclamation mark.

I think those come. I think they're awesome, but I think a lot of life is in the yeah. I love that Ezekiel did not say, of course they can live. I know who my God is and I'm persuaded by the promises of God. Hallelujah. I'm honestly, I'm glad he didn't do that, because if you would have done that, I'd have just keet to thirty eight and been like, I don't get you, Ezekiel, because a lot of life

is in the oh. Lord. Maybe I think and I think that depending upon where you're at in your season, there's something that's got to ask you, and it's like, yes, can I bless your business? Yes, twenty twenty God be good. Yes, I already got twenty twenty visits. Yah. Yes, can I help your marriage? Lord? Do you know the woman you gave me in the garden? Do you know her husbands looks straight ahead? Don't you dare touch your wife right now? In Jesus trying to save your marriage. Somebody stood in

the nine thirty. I said, sirs, please sit down, Security, security, okay, trying to protect you. It's gone security on his wife, amen, because he wasn't laughing. I think you actually have to get comfortable giving God a yes with a question mark. I want to say it like this, You have to get comfortable giving God. You're not enough. Yeah, you have to get okay with giving God less than you want to give him, but giving him all you got. Because I think a lot of you are waiting to do

something for God when you have great faith. But you don't get great faith till you give God small faith. You don't have all some faith until you give God broken faith, until you give God whatever faith you do have. And I know you want to feed five thousand with five thousand pieces of bread and fish, but sometimes all you got is a couple of loads and a couple of fish. And you actually have to learn how to give God you're not enough. You have to learn how

to give him whatever you do have. Because God can use your not enough. He can bless it, he can break it, he can multiply it, and he can turn him into more than enough. And a lot of y'all are waiting on more than enough. But God says, I don't just start with more than enough, I start with not enough. Oh can I get some faith in here? And a lot of you are not gonna do anything for God until you get comfortable giving him your not enough.

But God can do a lot with a little. And God forbid, by the way, by the way, God forbid you ever feel like you're enough. Like if you feel like you're ready, your pride is too high and your vision is too small. I always want to be shaken in my boots. I always want to be a lot like. I woke up this morning scarred. Y'all scared. Don't let this smile fool you. I'm crying on the inside. Amen, pastors, I can you preach? I'm like I used to know how to preach. I think I forgot. I don't know

I'm already. I don't think I'm the guy for you. I like that. I like I like feeling a little unqualified. Oh that's a good book title. I'm gonna write me a book called Unqualified. Watch it. I like that because it means I have to rely on Jesus. I have to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. I need grace in my weakness. And a lot of you are waiting to be ready before you do something. But you actually have to learn how to take a step on a Lord. You know. Faith is risky. Faith is gutsy.

Faith is grown people talk. Faith requires a backbone, not a wishbone. Faith. Faith puts you in scary situations. By the way, By the way, you're in a faith church. I don't know if you know that your pastor's gift is he has the gift of faith, the biblical gift of faith. It's in the Bible. He has it. And so anytime you get around pastor, you want to believe more. But never forget this. Your flesh, your earth suit, your

carnal mind, your dirt suit. It hates faith. That's why it wants comfort clothes and a comfortable chair and a comfortable band, comfort food, because we want our flesh wants comfort, but our spirit is begging for adventure. Our flesh wants to stay in the boat, but our spirit saying, call me out on the water. And you actually have to learn how to give your spirit first place, because your flesh will always go to the comfort zone and God

can't do anything great in the comfort zone. I've heard it said by preachers that faith and fear cannot coexist, and I thought, I think they're married. I think they're sleeping in the same bed. The very fact that I need faith is because I'm afraid. The very fact that I'm believing God is because this is too big for me. The very the very fact that I'm I'm I'm believing

for a miracle is because I need a miracle. The very fact that I that I that I'm stepping out in faith is because I have I have fear in my life. A lot of you have mistaken faith in facts. Faith is not always factual, but it's always truth, huh. And you have to learn how to break past the circumstance and the facts and break into the faith zone where God is and where your destiny is. Am I helping anybody right now? Come on, say may clap your

hands one time. I'm gonna keep preaching, but you have to learn how to take a step into the unknown. Did God call you to start that business? I think he did in January, but now it's October. Jaman to God call you to plant that church in Vegas? Well, some Sundays for sure, Other Sunday nights I will kind of want to sell cars. God called you to move to Charlotte? I thought so. I think I was a lot more confident a few months ago. Yah, you actually have to get okay there. Faith is a total assurance

and who God is. But but life is changing, y'all, and you have to get okay with that. I've learned that faith is like a pit in my stomach. Yeah, yeah, you know, you know, the pit in your stomach, the thing that you call the lack of peace. Yeah, you know, I just don't. And you know you're charismatic if you touch your stomach. You know. I just didn't have a piece about us praying about it. I know you guys need people to serve. But like right now, like the

Lord has me resting. It's funny because it's true and and and we're running from the pit in our stomach. But I actually think is where faith really is. Peace, by the way, is not a feeling in your stomach. Can I help you? Piece is not That piece is a person is named Jesus. And peace will be right in the middle of a storm on the waves, and he will call you to come. Peace will lead you into some crazy situations that are way bigger than you,

but they're under his feet. That's where peace is. Peace will lead you into some unpeaceful places to build you up. That's peace. I've honestly for last twenty months. We planted our church twenty months ago. I had a pit mustomach for twenty months. Like I used to live in Newport Beach, California. No one could even cheer because y'all just mad about it, right, because it's just Newport. It's beautiful. Newport is like like the Garden of Eden before the fall. Y'all know what

I'm saying, Like it's good. We used to wake up the same way every morning. Alarm would go off. If we go ah, birds will start chirping. Like, birds don't chirp in Vegas. It's one hundred and fifteen degrees. They can't open their mouth or they will die. They'll explode. You know, they don't chirt. We don't. I don't even seen a bird. I know they're there somewhere and haven't seen one. Birds would be chirp and you wake up. Look at your wife, Hey, babe, what do you want

to do to anyone? To go to the ocean and pray? Yeah, then let's go to Dissey Land and witness to Mickey and like, oh, it's this Orange County. Just let's float there. Yeah, let's just float. And then we moved to Vegas. We're trying to pass through this shirts, trying to help people. It's scary. Like I don't need an alarm clock anymore. I wake up the same way every day, five am, same way, every day, just like this, in a pool of sweat. My wife will roll over you. Okay, yeah, yeah,

just thinking about Sunday. I gotta preach another message, gotta write another one, another one, another one. Okay, we'll wake up some morning some all to go. Hey, babe, you were screaming again in your sleep. Oh way, just thinking about that new building. I like that thing. You know what that pit does. He keeps me right on my knees. That pit keeps me on my face. That pit keeps me in the word. That pit of my stomach keeps

me humble. That pit of my stomach keeps me praising God, clapping, shouting, cheering, saying thank you Jesus. That pit of my stomach keeps me praying in English and tongues. That bit in my stomach keeps me hungry for God and keeps me in community. And a lot of y'all are running from that pit. But actually what God has for you is right there. Because by the way, God is not going to give you a life where He is unnecessary. And y'all trying

to follow God from the comfort zone. You gotta learn how to take a step into the unknown, wow, believing God, taking a risk, taking a step, hang it out, moving on a maybe. First Samuel fourteen and six. Jonathan goes to his friend and he goes, hey, there's an enemy around the ridge. Let's go pick a fight. Maybe Jonathan was hood rat. Y'all know what I'm saying. Let's go pick a fight. Got nothing else to do today, Let's go pick a fight. Maybe the Lord will give us

the victory. Maybe not have been on a forty day fascy angel, Lord, talk to me, we have the victory in Jesus name. No, no no, no, Maybe And on a maybe, Jonathan's assistant says, turned down for what, Let's go on a maybe. On a maybe, you actually have to get comfortable with a maybe. I call it a holy ghost maybe. I call it a holy spirit hunch. I call it a book of acts. The apostles pray and they go it seems good to us in the Holy Spirit. That word seems it feels like, it feels good. Like we

don't really have a yes sort of note. It just seems good and a lot of life is right there. It's like I think I got a word from God. My pastors are cool with it. Me and my spouse are in agreement, but it's still scary. Let's take a step of faith, let's think of maybe, let's believe God. Let's try, and even when you do it at first, your flesh and your faith are still fighting so much. But it's like, you know what, I'm gonna forgive that person. I'm gonna take a step. You know what, We're gonna

go to counseling. We're gonna try to make this work. We're gonna we're gonna go. We're gonna try, We're gonna give it a shot. We're gonna do all we can do. You know what, I'm gonna start giving in the offering, y'all. Ever, remember when you first started giving in the offering? How scary that was? Okay, no one's talking to me, y'all. Remember how scary that was when you first started giving. You finally must okay, end of the year giving. I'm gonna do it, babe, We're gonna do it, all right,

We're gonna stretch. Okay, we gonna believe big. Okay, let's go write that check. You don't even have checks, but you went and got a check trying to be official. Get that check, bucket, passes by, you put it in, you're feeling good, but then you look down and it starts leaving your life, and all of a sudden, that check goes hey bye, and it starts waving to you, and you go, baby, baby, baby, come back, baby baby baby.

I'm sorry, baby baby, I didn't mean to do that, and he goes, oh, you don't love me no more, and it leaves, and then you get mad and you start staring at past her Steven. He's preaching good, but you don't care. You can't even hear it, and you're like, they manipulated me. He got me all worked up. Chris started singing those high notes. The light hit in my eyes.

I added as zero. I want my money back, y'all ever give it online and you finally get the faith give back and you actually have to learn how to obey God's scared. Don't wait till you're ready to give. You're not ready to do anything God's called you to do. Y'all ready to get married? No, y'all rady have that baby. No, you just gotta do it, and there's grace on the

other side of your step of faith. Don't feel I don't know if my parents can remember that all the parents in here before you have the baby, You're like, I don't know how we're gonna do this until they're in your arms and you go, we can do this. It's like on the other side of it, there's the grace to do what God's called you to do. So you have to learn how to move on a maybe number four prophesy, prophesy to your situation. And now the

rooms split. I can feel it because half y'all don't come from this background, and you go, prophecy, what you a prophet? What we do? Say it the Lord? What repredicting the future? And then half y'all are cares maniacts like me and you're like, yes, shun die, I feel this right now. So I'm gonna try to bring some balance. Amen to both y'all, because some of y'all got too scared. Some of y'all at too excited. So I'm all bring it to the middle. God said Ezekiel verse one and two.

You've been talking about the bones a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stop talking about him. Watch me talk to them. Jesus did not say talk about the mountain, and he did not say deny the mountain. He said, talk to the mountain, and there comes a point in your life, Ezekiel, where you have to become a prophet in your family and you have to speak the word of the Lord over your destiny. So when I say prophecy, I'm not talking about predicting the future. I'm not talking about a King

James utterance during a service. I'm talking about here's prophecy one oh one, Every New Testament believer in the house, here's prophecy one on one. You get a word from the word. Amen, everybody say amen. You get a word from the word, and you say it, and you say it, and you say it till you believe it, and then you say it until you see it. You say it until Psalm one nineteen. It gets hidden in your heart.

You say it to like Joshua chapter one, it becomes the meditation of your mind and comes out of your mouth constantly. You say it, and you say it and you say it. And it's not that you're denying your circumstance. You're just choosing a promise from God over the problem. And you're saying, this is more real to me than this, because the earth is gonna fade away. But your word is gonna last forever. So I'm gonna stick with your word, and I'm just gonna keep saying it and saying it

and saying it until I eventually see it. You get a promise from God over your life. This is the prophetic for us. We believe God, and we keep declaring and we keep trusting, and we choose God's word over everything else. And it feels a little crazy, and it feels a little uncomfortable, but you're choosing in that moment to say, I'm not just gonna talk about it anymore. I'm gonna talk to it. I'm not gonna keep posting about it. I love that God did not say zeke.

You'll grab your phone, get on your Instagram story right now, post the video with super Zoom Tom Tom, come on, somebody. He said talk to it. He said, get a word and speak that word. And that word becomes powerful in your mouth. God's word in your mouth becomes a double edged sword. It becomes Hebrews chapter four. Out of one side it comes out of God's mouth, and out of

the other side, it comes out of your mouth. And when you start saying what God has already said, God starts moving and heaven meets earth, and earth meets heaven, and all of the sudden, something supernatural can begin to happen because it's no longer just a book that's collecting dust, but it now becomes the living word, the ram a word out of your mouth, and God begins to move at his word, not your word, his word in your mouth.

So we don't believe that we just get whatever we say and we can just you know, confess it and possess it, blab it and grab it. That's not what I'm talking about, but I am saying. But I am saying. If this word becomes a compass, it becomes my true north, and over time my life begins to go in the direction of the word. Y'all with me. Over time this becomes my guiding north star. God said, speak to it, not just about it. We can have the team come up.

I'm almost done. I remember as a child, all of us kids on one of five, we all went crazy. All the parents of teenagers started laughing. Just now, that wasn't like a funny laugh as like, we all went crazy. We all did things we regret and put our parents through a lot. But can I tell you my parents they just never left the word. It was weird. It's like anytime we woke up in the morning, they were in the Word, and to chattingson, we called it a quiet time. They were always in the word. They always

new a word, and I always had a word. And it got a little annoying to us kids, But really it was agitating something deep in our soul. I remember. I remember waking up one night in the middle of the night and I felt liquid hitting my head. Now again, every Pentecostal is with me. Every Baptist online right now is like, what is he talking about? And I remember waking up thinking there must be a leak in the roof, and it must be there must be water hitting my forehead.

And all of a sudden I finally come to and there's my mama, five foot nothing with a bottle of olive oil. Come on, somebody, and the promise of God in her mouth. Devil, take your hands off of my child. As for me and my whole household, we shall serve the Lord. Me and my whole household shall be saved. I plead the blood of Jesus over this baby right now, and I tell the death angel to leave this house in Jesus' name. I command angels to surround this room.

Every spirit that's not the Holy Spirit, get out. In the name of Jesus. I'd wake God. Start freaking out my mouth start. It looked like an NBA championship with Champagne, but it was oil and my parents never left the word. Can I tell you today we are all in God's house. We're all in love with Jesus. All of our children are in God's house. Friend, I'm not here to tell you that by this time tomorrow everything's gonna be perfect.

But here's what I'm telling you that if you will get the word of God in your heart, and you will get the Word of God in your mouth, your life will start to come into alignment. Because as Ezekiel spoke the word, bones came together, flesh came together, muscle came together, Skin began to form, sinews begin to form. God started doing something. When you speak God's word, things begin to happen. Hallelujah. Lastly, though lastly, praise the Lord. Go ahead and clap if you want to. I feel

this right now. Don't let her praise alone. You don't know what she's going through. But maybe a miracle's emotion right now. Why don't you praise with him right now? Hallelujah. This last point is why elevation is so special. This last point I want to tell you about is why you love this house. It's beyond just the natural gifting, hard work and talent of your pastor. It's beyond just the beautiful production and lighting and music. I want to

lastly tell you about the wind. Invite the wind, Speak to the wind. I want to remind you today that we believe in the power, the presence, and the person of the Holy Spirit. The Godhead is not father, son and holy Scripture. We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in the wind of God, the breath of God, the life of God. We believe that the wind can blow in your life. We believe that grace can begin to breathe upon your life again. We love the structure,

we love the form, and we love the muscle. Oh, but when we've done all we can do, I need the wind to blow. This is not by Mike nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Host. There is something about leaving just your natural grit and hustle and crime and say the Holy Spirit I need you to breathe upon my life. And Lord, I don't just need you, I want you. I want the move of the Holy Spirit. I want the breath of God in my life. Lord, would you speak to me? Would

you leave me? Would you guide me? Would you convict me? Would you correct me? Would you comfort me? Would you empower me? God, we don't want to do this without you. And like Moses said, God, we ain't going to the Promised Land without you. If you don't go, we don't go because we want you more than we want anything else. And God said Ezekiel, why don't you invite the wind to begin to blow? Why don't you invite the breath of God to begin to breathe upon your life? Thank
