0:10

God put your

0:12

greatest miracle in

0:14

your greatest mess. You

0:19

got a sweat in the dry places. And

0:22

the Lord told me to tell you,

0:24

you've gone as far as you can

0:26

go by yourself. God

0:29

said I want you to have

0:31

sweat equity because if you don't

0:33

sweat, you won't take care of this.

0:36

I want you to put your back into it.

0:39

God said dig it out.

0:49

36% of Americans have never been to a doctor. 60

0:53

million Americans have reported mental health issues and

0:55

only 45% have ever been to a

0:59

therapist. We're

1:02

not building for expansion because

1:06

our parents didn't have to go to

1:08

therapists because

1:11

they didn't have the stress you got. They

1:14

didn't have the pressure you got. They

1:16

didn't have the anxiety you got. They

1:19

didn't have millions of people in their

1:21

pocket through their phone. They're

1:24

not surrounded by strangers, fake friends

1:26

who are all in your business

1:29

trying to decide whether they like your hairdo

1:31

or not. They didn't have to contend with

1:33

that. Your mama's

1:35

friend was her next door neighbor. You

1:37

got friends all the way from other

1:39

countries commenting on what shoes

1:42

you got on and you take

1:44

them seriously. So

1:47

you got pressure coming from the right and

1:49

from the left and from the north and

1:51

from the south and you're completely stressed out

1:53

by people that you can actually cut off.

2:02

But because you don't think like kings,

2:05

you think you have to keep them on and you think their

2:07

opinion matters and you got the

2:09

nerve to get your feelings heard

2:11

about what they said like they

2:14

matter to your life. But if

2:16

you're like a king, you don't

2:18

let nobody come up in your

2:20

life like a pauper and control

2:22

your decisions by your circumstances. Stay

2:30

with me, stay with me, stay with

2:32

me, stay with me, stay with me. So

2:35

Jehoram, who is

2:37

the king of Israel and has

2:39

not wholly followed the Lord, he's

2:42

been better than his father, Ahab. He's

2:44

torn down the statues

2:46

to Baal and he's torn down the

2:48

high places but he has not wholly

2:50

followed the Lord. He

2:53

hooks up with Jehoshaphat, the

2:55

king of Judah. And

2:57

he hooks up with Jehoshaphat because

3:00

Jehoshaphat had the hookup. Jehoshaphat

3:05

had a relationship with God. Jehoshaphat

3:08

didn't wait till he got in trouble to call

3:10

on God. Jehoshaphat

3:12

had an anointing on his life. Jehoshaphat

3:15

knew what a true word from God was. Jehoshaphat

3:18

had been a praying man. His

3:20

ways had pleased the Lord. He

3:22

hooked up with somebody who had

3:24

favor and he knows that he

3:26

cannot go against the king of

3:28

Moab by himself and he gets

3:30

the king of Iglod and these

3:32

three kings are strategizing

3:34

how they can't defeat

3:36

the king of Moab

3:39

by themselves but

3:41

as a team they can defeat him. And

3:44

the Lord told me to tell you,

3:46

you've gone as far as you can

3:48

go by yourself. Come

3:52

on. And

4:00

you can go by yourself. God

4:03

is going to put you in a circle that's

4:05

going to stretch you. And

4:07

there may not be people who always agree

4:09

with you, but God is

4:12

going to use them to catapult

4:14

you into the next dimension. These

4:16

three groups of people weren't even

4:19

the same kinds of people, but

4:21

God's going to bring you into

4:23

a place where somebody's going to

4:25

finance what he prophesied was going

4:27

to happen in your life. And

4:29

somebody's going to open up a door that

4:32

takes you into the next dimension. And

4:34

the Lord said, if you don't expand

4:36

your relationships, you're going to get defeated

4:38

where he promised you to have victory.

4:40

I don't know who I'm talking to,

4:43

but I know I'm talking to somebody.

4:46

Let me apologize to all the

4:48

people this message don't fit, because

4:51

this is a prophetic word for

4:53

somebody who's trying to think like

4:56

a king and not like

4:58

a pauper. And if I'm talking to you,

5:00

I want you to open your

5:02

mouth and make some noise in this

5:04

place. This

5:12

one somebody tell them I'm building for

5:14

expansion. I'm

5:17

not building for approval. I'm not building

5:19

for you to like me. I'm

5:21

not building so you don't hate on

5:24

me. I'm building for expansion. I

5:26

know you don't understand it because you

5:28

still back in the depression, but

5:30

I'm building for expansion. And you know what?

5:33

I'm forgetting those things which are behind,

5:36

and I'm reaching to those things which are

5:38

before I press toward the mark of the

5:40

pride of the high calling of God in

5:43

Christ Jesus. I don't even call what I

5:45

used to call a problem. It's not a

5:47

problem. What was a

5:49

problem has become a normal because

5:52

I have learned how to spread

5:54

the weight over a team, which

5:57

means even though I'm a friend of you, I'd

6:00

rather let you in and get

6:02

the victory than stay by myself

6:05

and be defeated. Y'all don't hear

6:07

me. I'm talking to somebody. Who

6:12

am I talking to in this place? Ahh.

6:27

Jehoram is the king of Israel.

6:31

And Jehoram has decided

6:34

we're going to go by the way of the

6:36

wilderness. And he gets

6:38

out of the wilderness and says, the Moab,

6:41

the Moabites are going to kill us. You

6:45

know, you always got that friend. He

6:50

says, child, I feel sorry for you. You

6:53

ain't going to make it out of this. You

6:56

should have stayed where you are. You

6:58

should have played where it was saved.

7:01

You always got that friend that's sandballing

7:03

to buy a sort of friend that's

7:05

trying to get you to come down

7:07

off the wall. You're not supposed to

7:09

be up there. You can't do that.

7:11

You can't have this. You can't have

7:13

the other. I remember when I first

7:15

moved to Dallas, we were looking at

7:17

a house in a particular neighborhood. And

7:19

a friend of mine told me, said, oh, you

7:22

can't buy in that neighborhood. They don't allow us

7:24

in that neighborhood. I said, they may not allow

7:26

us, but they're going to allow me because I'm

7:28

going to buy this house. Slap

7:36

somebody and tell them I'm going to be the first one. I'm

7:40

going to break a rule. I'm

7:43

going to break through a wall. I'm going

7:45

to break through a barrier. I'm going to be

7:47

the first one. Because I need to, I'm going

7:49

to be the first one. I'm going to go

7:51

where my grandma didn't go, where my

7:53

momma didn't go, where my sister didn't

7:55

go, where my auntie didn't go.

7:58

I'm breaking into another. I may have

8:00

to learn how to dress, I may have

8:02

to learn how to walk, I may

8:05

have to know who to

8:08

call, who is Elijah. I don't know

8:10

who Elijah is, but I'm going to

8:12

meet him today so they are

8:14

out here. Can I preach this? So they

8:17

are out here in the wilderness

8:20

and the place is dry. Anytime

8:22

God is going to get ready to really

8:24

bless you with a promise, you have to

8:26

go through a dry place. If

8:29

there is anybody in here that has been in

8:31

a dry place, it's because

8:33

you are getting close to the promised

8:35

land. When the children of Israel were

8:38

going to the promised land, they had to

8:40

go through a dry place. A

8:42

dry place is a sign that you

8:44

are getting close to the milk and

8:46

honey. When you are tired and you

8:48

are weary and you are frustrated and

8:50

you don't have what you want and

8:52

you don't have what you need, it's

8:54

because God has got you in the

8:56

wilderness and if God has

8:58

got you in the wilderness, you are

9:01

closer to the promised land than you

9:03

have ever been before. So while Jehoram

9:05

with his carnal self was

9:07

trying to tell them that they were going

9:09

to be defeated by the Moabites, Jehoshaphat

9:12

said, is there a prophet in

9:14

Israel? This is why

9:16

you got to have a great man of God. I

9:19

got to have a great man or woman

9:21

of God. I can't have no deadbeat man

9:23

or woman of God because when I need

9:26

a word from God, I need

9:28

a word from God. I

9:30

need a word from God on

9:32

Sunday that gets me ready for

9:35

Monday. I need a word from God

9:37

that makes me a new man

9:39

and from my hands up I praise

9:41

God. I need a word

9:44

from God that shows me which door I

9:46

need to walk in. So

9:54

they called Elijah and

9:56

Elijah came out the door and he saw Jehoram and

9:58

almost went back to Israel. He

10:01

said, because I

10:04

wouldn't even deal with you. I

10:07

wouldn't even deal with you. You've

10:10

been serving Bill, your

10:12

mama served Bill, your daddy

10:14

served Bill, you led Israel

10:16

down the wrong path. I wouldn't even deal with

10:18

you, except you got

10:20

Jehoshaphat with you. Jehoshaphat

10:26

had the favor of God. Let

10:30

me tell you what's going to get you at the table. They

10:33

may have the money, they may

10:35

have the land, they may have the

10:37

title, but you got the favor of

10:40

God. You

11:26

might not have a

11:28

degree, but you got the favor of God.

11:30

You might not own a Porsche, but

11:32

you got the favor of God. Everybody

11:35

in here that's got the favor of

11:37

God. Oh God, I killed

11:39

my Holy Ghost. Make some noise up in

11:41

this place. I may have lost

11:43

my job, but I didn't lose my favor. I

11:46

may have lost my car, but

11:48

I didn't lose my favor. I may

11:50

have lost my husband, but I still

11:52

got the favor of God. I may

11:55

lose your favor, but your husband

11:57

says, make some noise in this place.

11:59

I'm going to give

12:01

you a moment to

12:04

give a shout out

12:06

to God. Never have we needed your support

12:09

more vitally than we do right now because

12:11

we are on the move for God. And

12:13

if you have not been on the move

12:15

for God, I want to challenge you to

12:18

get busy and get on the move doing

12:20

what God created you to do in whatever

12:22

field you're in. God planted

12:24

you there for a reason, to be the

12:26

salt of the earth. All

12:28

ministry is not about pulpits. All ministry

12:30

is not about singing in the choir.

12:33

All ministry is not about clapping your hands in

12:35

church. Whatever you're doing

12:38

to help lift, change, fortify, strengthen

12:40

people, you are in the ministry.

12:42

Everybody who's got a ministry, stand

12:44

up on your feet. That

12:49

ought to get everybody, yeah.

12:51

We are laborers together with

12:53

God in Christ Jesus. How

12:55

many of you are believing God to bless your

12:58

ministry, whatever it is? If

13:00

it's going to hell, if it's putting on

13:02

makeup, it's still a ministry. So

13:11

Jehoshaphat said, send for the

13:13

minstrel. And

13:15

he said, let him start playing music. Mark

13:18

is not playing me some music or whoever's playing.

13:21

He said, yeah, yeah, you're playing me some music. Yes,

13:30

yes, yes,

13:33

yes. When

13:40

I asked him to play music, I was sending Judah first. Because

13:44

when you start praising him on

13:47

the instruments, it provokes the

13:49

prophetic utterance to begin to

13:51

flow in the room. And even

13:54

though Elijah was a prophet, he

13:56

still needed an anointed minstrel because

13:58

when the minstrel... is anointed,

14:01

it releases the Word of God

14:03

to flow. It's like water

14:05

breaking in the womb of a woman.

14:07

And God opens up with the

14:09

Word that you couldn't get before because

14:12

the water just broke. Slap somebody, tell

14:14

them the water just broke. Now

14:18

watch this, watch this, watch

14:21

this. This is what he says,

14:23

and this is important. This is

14:25

the most important part of the text.

14:29

I'm just now getting to the point. Just

14:41

sayeth the Lord unto

14:44

you, Dig,

14:48

titches in

14:50

your valley. Now

14:53

Lord, this ain't no time to dig. I'm

14:56

already thirsty. I'm

14:58

already dry. I'm already

15:00

empty. And you want me

15:02

to dig? Why

15:05

don't you just dig? Why

15:07

don't you just open up the ditch? Why

15:10

do you want me to dig? God

15:12

said, I want you to have sweat

15:14

equity because if you don't sweat,

15:16

you won't take care

15:18

of this. I want you to

15:21

put your back into it. I want you

15:23

to put your sweat into it. I want

15:25

you to expand some effort into it.

15:27

I want to be callous and load

15:30

your fingers. I want you to have

15:32

an investment so that you won't let

15:34

no devil take your anointing

15:36

away from you. I want

15:38

it to cost you something I'm not

15:41

trying to cause. I'm not coming down

15:43

the chimney to give you something that

15:45

you don't have no sweat equity. Dig,

15:48

titches, dig it out, dig it out, dig

15:50

it out, dig it out, dig it out,

15:52

dig it out, dig it out, dig it

15:54

out, dig it out, dig it out, dig

15:56

it out. God said, dig it

15:58

out. My

16:06

question, my problem was

16:10

when you studied out, the

16:13

valley was actually a dry

16:15

river bed. It's

16:21

where water used to be. And

16:28

I said, Lord, it's

16:30

where water used to be. Why

16:33

didn't you just restore it to

16:36

what it used to be? He

16:38

said, tell my people I

16:40

am not going to restore because

16:43

if I restore, I'll just bring you back

16:45

to where you was. So

16:48

I want you to dig ditches in the

16:50

valley because what I got

16:52

for you is more than what

16:54

you ever had before. I

16:57

want you to expand your

16:59

capacity. Y'all

17:04

don't hear what I'm saying. Watch this. Oh

17:07

God, I don't know what the preacher teach

17:09

or holler or scream or stand on my

17:11

head. Not by God, but

17:14

while you was laying on the floor, God

17:16

was expanding your capacity. While

17:20

you was walking in new doors, God was

17:22

expanding your capacity. While God was

17:25

giving you influence in new places,

17:27

God was expanding your capacity.

17:30

God's expanding your relationships. Now

17:32

he's expanding your capacity. You've

17:35

gone to the limit of being

17:38

exhausted, but what used to exhaust

17:40

you don't exhaust you anymore

17:42

because your capacity has grown

17:44

to another dimension. I'll

17:47

go deeper than that. What used to hurt me

17:49

don't hurt me no more. Devil,

17:51

if you want to use something over you,

17:53

I could use something better than what you

17:55

used to use. Because what used to send

17:57

me home crying, don't send me home crying.

18:00

anymore. Who am I preaching to in this

18:02

place? Expand

18:04

your capacity.

18:08

If I had time to teach, I teach

18:10

you that God always responds to our capacity.

18:13

That's what he means when he says he's

18:15

in hungers and thirst. After righteousness shall be

18:17

filled. He said I will fill

18:19

you to the level of your capacity. If

18:22

you're not hungry for much, I won't give

18:24

you much. That's what he meant when he

18:26

said manna down from heaven. The Bible said

18:28

according to their hunger, God said the manna.

18:30

He doesn't want you to waste it. He

18:33

wants you to have the capacity to receive

18:35

on the next level. That's why

18:37

you ought not be jealous when I get 12 lows

18:40

and you get five lows because God gave

18:42

you what you can handle. I

18:46

want to talk to my hungry people. This

18:50

whole thing started with God filling

18:53

capacity. When God formed Adam out

18:55

of the dust of the earth,

18:57

he created capacity. He created him

18:59

with lungs so that when he

19:02

was blowing him, he would have

19:04

something to fill. God

19:07

fills capacity. When the

19:09

woman was about to die, the Bible

19:11

says she told him to borrow vessels.

19:14

As long as there was capacity,

19:16

the oil flowed. When they ran

19:18

out of capacity, the oil stopped

19:21

flowing. When God made the

19:23

tabernacle, he filled it with furniture.

19:25

When he made the holies of

19:27

holies, he filled it with glory.

19:30

When he made the day of

19:32

Pentecost, he filled it with the

19:34

holy ghost. Whenever there's capacity, God

19:36

will fill. And I just want to

19:38

know, is there any capacity up in this

19:40

place? Is there any

19:42

capacity in this place? Does anybody

19:44

have any room left? I know

19:46

you've been blessed, but if you've

19:48

got the capacity to go to

19:50

the next level, lift your hands

19:52

and open your mouth and holler.

19:55

Holler in your living room. Holler

19:57

in your house. Holler in your

19:59

home. at your table. If

20:07

you got compassion, get

20:09

away from them folks that don't have capacity.

20:14

You got to go up a little

20:16

higher and find somebody who's got capacity

20:18

on your level, who

20:25

understands your appetite, who understands your

20:27

pride, who understands your hunger. Because

20:29

when you get around somebody who's

20:31

got your capacity or more, they

20:34

can offer you something that other

20:36

people can't offer you. You have

20:38

been running around with people that's

20:41

been draining you because they

20:43

didn't have no capacity. All they could

20:45

do was borrow from you, but you

20:47

didn't even get in a bigger room

20:50

so that you could go to some

20:52

place that when they preach they fill

20:54

you up, when they preach they cause

20:57

you to overflow. I'm

20:59

looking desperately for somebody

21:01

that's got capacity to

21:03

go to the next

21:05

level because the Lord

21:07

told me that He's

21:09

getting ready to expand

21:11

somebody. Can you handle

21:13

it? Hump on the line, I can handle

21:15

it. Shout out your mouth, I can

21:18

handle it. Shout out your

21:20

mouth in the balcony, I can handle

21:22

it. Open your mouth and holler, I

21:24
