is anybody grateful we serve an on time God does anybody know him to be someone who shows up Time After Time After Time even when the devil thought he won even when I thought the devil won we serve a God that shows up right in the nicked time I’m so grateful that Joy comes in the morning I’m so grateful that weeping endures for the night but because I serve a God who was always on time when the morning comes I get to get up again I’m so glad we serve a god who’s got a resurrect in power I’m so glad we serve

a God who knows right when I need when I need it the most and I believe that God knew that this moment this gathering this meeting would be taking place at such a PIV time in your life in your journey I believe wholeheartedly that the mark of what takes place this evening what has already taken place this weekend that you’re going to look back and you’re going to say man God you always show up what’s up [Music] [Applause] [Music] Johannesburg I’ve never been here before but this feels like a homecoming I

don’t I can’t quite explain it but I know that welcome home thank you man J don’t play with me we have to be mature because grown-ups are here I just want y’all to know that I have made myself the president of the United States chapter of the Rory fan [Music] club the girls who get it get it and the girls who don’t they just don’t but I get it that is my friend I’m stalking her only met her twice only said hi and bye but in the spirit that’s my sister God gave me a word for you and I’m going to just go with the flow

of what God gave me my text is Acts chapter 2 verse 12 y’all pray for my voice something is happening but I’m gonna get the job done I love you too last night somebody yelled they love me I was like we already go together you don’t have to keep telling me y’all stuck with me understand that acts 2:2 12 12-8 so I know that most of you all are Bible scholars but for those of us who need a little Foundation I’m going to help you understand the context of the text Jesus has been crucified resurrected he walks the Earth for 40

days and while he walks the Earth for 40 days he has encounters with his disciples and he begins to unpack for them their mission and responsibility once he ascends and takes the right hand of the father and at this point in the text they have gathered in the upper room in the day of Pentecost has fully come and Jesus tells them specifically I have a mission for you but you cannot move into that mission until you have received power that power comes from the Holy Spirit and on the day of Pentecost when the day had fully come the power of

the Holy Spirit Falls and as the power of the the Holy Spirit Falls they begin to speak in tongues and they begin to create a disturbance in what should have been an ordinary time within the culture they’re creating a disturbance because they have been filled with the Holy Spirit and the people are confused trying to figure out what’s happening to them that is when my text begins in verse 12 and it says so they were all amazed and perplexed saying to one another whatever could this mean others mocking said they

are full of new wine but Peter standing up with the 11 raised his voice and said to them men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem let this be known to you and heed my words for these are not drunk as you suppose since it is only the third hour of the day but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel and it shall come to pass in the last days says God that I will pour out my spirit on All Flesh that your sons and your daughters shall prophesy I’m going to say that one more time cuz it’s women’s month that your

sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see Visions your old men shall dream dreams and on my men’s servants and on my maid servant ANS I will pour out my spirit in those days and they shall prophesy Spirit of the Living God prophesy in this place pour your spirit out on us we’re thirsty for it we’re desperate for it some of us don’t even realize how much we need a fresh outpouring of your spirit but we’re here I believe at the right time at the right the right generation at the right

time in our lives to receive an outpouring that will push us completely over into the realm of our destiny God I pray for the spirit of wisdom of Revelation I pray that you spend send angels to help guard my throat through this process that you would give me strength that you would give my mind Clarity that my heart would be completely and utterly surrendered to you and that we together would touch this room fill this room in a way that makes it so evident that you see them you know them that you’re not finished with them yet so God do that

thing that you do when you rest in a room ah Glory God Rest in this place as only you can in Jesus name amen I want to read to you and excerpt from a speech from Martin Luther King Jr Goes a little something like this it says we’ve got some difficult days ahead but it doesn’t matter with me now because I’ve been to the Mountaintop and I don’t mind like anybody I would like to live a long life longevity has its place but I’m not concerned about that now I just want to do God’s Will and he’s allowed me to go

up to the mountain and I’ve looked over and I’ve seen the promised land I may not get there with you but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land and I’m happy tonight I’m not worried about anything I’m not fearing any man my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord 24 hours after giving this speech Martin Luther King Jr would be assassinated interesting I’ve heard the words before but never recognized the timeline the sequence in which it took place he says

in his speech I may not get there with you that means that there was something about his mentality that understood that even though he was the Pioneer a leader of the civil rights at that time that the Civil Rights Movement could not die with him even if something happened to him he had what I would call a spark mentality a spark mentality is when you recognize that your life Your Existence is not just about coming here and having a good time that your life and existence is not just here for you to just have

battle after battle after battle but rather Your Existence is meant to spark something in the Earth the definition of the word Spark means the stimulus for an event or a process your life is the stimulous for an event or a process in other words when God created you he was starting something when God created you you you’re not random he wasn’t bored he didn’t just decide that we needed more people in the earth God says that there’s something I want to start in the earth and so I to send someone in the

earth who can start this thing that I want to accomplish in the earth you were here to start something that’s why you have this desire to do something that seems bigger than you that’s why you’re discontent when life just seems mundane and routine and comfortable it’s because you were meant to start something that’s why no matter how many times you try to give up on this idea of purpose and Destiny it just won’t leave you alone it’s because you were here to start something you better nudge your neighbor and tell them

I’m getting ready to start something when you start something it is not something that can easily be undone when you start something it is something that raises a standard for your family for your community and for your generation I’m trying to start something that cannot be undone I’m trying to start something that changes the way that my community is seeing I’m trying to start something that makes another woman recognize that bruised heel still crush the Serpent’s head I’m not just here

talking words I’m here to start something we don’t get on the plane for 24 hours to come to South Africa so that you can stay the same we get on the plane because we want to start something and the reason why we want to start something is because we know what God put on the inside of you baby you are a starter I know sometimes you failed I know sometimes you may have quit I know sometimes maybe someone gave up on you that’s good news because you can start again because you were here to start something it doesn’t matter how many

times you failed it doesn’t matter how many times they betrayed you when you are a starter you get back up again when you are a starter you take a time out but you get back up again baby I’m a starter mess with me I might start something mess with me I might change your life I’m a starter baby if I get to pray I might break something off of you I’m a starter I might introduce generational blessings in your life because I’m a starter I know who I am in God God called me to start something

when I see what’s happening in the world I don’t get discouraged I come alive cuz it’s my son it’s time for me to start something when I see some Brokenness when I see poverty it’s my sign that it’s time for me to start something I’m a starter never played a sport but I’m a starter never had a ball but I’m a starter I’m on the starting line baby I start stuff I’m a [Applause] starter and I need to live with this Consciousness because when I do not know that I am a starter I will believe that

he was doing it you thought that they were just rejecting you you thought there was just something wrong with you you thought you didn’t fit in the family you thought you were born in the wrong community no that’s not what it was it’s that the enemy was trying to stop you before you ever got started the enemy was trying to stop you before you ever received a touch from God because he knew one touch from God would radically change your life that if you ever got a revelation and started seeing yourself

the way God sees you then you would start rolling into your destiny you wouldn’t just step into it God says you would take off running into your Destiny if you knew what I knew about [Music] you the enemy didn’t realize though that you can stop a person but you can’t stop God God help me you can stop a person but you can’t stop God and because you can’t stop God God can always reach that person I want to take you back to Genesis 3 when there was a woman in the garden named Eve and that woman had eaten from a fruit and

the enemy must have been rejoicing he must have thought that he had won but even when the devil thought he won God showed up in the midst of the garden and he had a question for that woman he asked that woman who deceived you he wanted to understand what happened to you while the devil was rejoicing the woman was having an encounter with God because God said it doesn’t matter what the devil did to try and stop you I know how to get you to start again and he told that woman if you would start producing even in your Brokenness if you

would start producing even in your wounds if you would stop producing even though you’ve been hurt I promise you that this devil you see today you will see no longer if you would start pressing towards the seed anyway the devil thought he w but he was no match because there was a destiny over her life there is Destiny over your life that means even though the enemy thinks that his plan will stop you God says I’m going show up and I’m going show you how to work around I’m going show you how to push through I’m

going to show you how to hang on how to trust how to keep producing in spite of what tried to you because what I put in you is so Unstoppable but if you don’t believe it’s Unstoppable it doesn’t matter what the devil does what matters the most is what you think about what happened to you and some of us have come into agreement with the enemy’s plan for our lives unknowingly because we believe the report of the enemy when he says we can’t do it we believe the report of the enemy when he says we can’t add value we

believe the report of the enemy and now all of a sudden those of us who were born to be a spark are Buried buried with Broken Spirits buried with doubt when we see what’s happening in the world we don’t believe ourselves to be a solution so we wait for someone else to rise up and so God does something from Genesis all the way up until the New Testament that I believe that he does even now for those of us who are finding it difficult to believe that we are a spark he s mirrors mirrors to help us see what he sees in

US sometimes it’s not actually a mirror sometimes it’s a word that word is meant to hold up an identity a version of ourselves that doesn’t look anything like how we see ourselves but looks exactly the way that God sees us because God’s trying to spark us again he comes to Moses with a burning bush and he gives Moses a mandate to be a deliverer context is that Moses is hiding Moses doesn’t think himself to be a deliverer as a matter of fact he has disqualified himself but when God sends you a word the word is meant to hold up

a mirror to let you know regardless of how you see yourself I have called you to be a starter in my game I’ve called you to be a starter in My Kingdom I’ve called you to be a spark and if you allow your spark to be hidden you’re going to put us back behind where we should not be we need some people who are willing to get on the front line who are willing to say I am a starter in the Kingdom of Heaven I wish I could tell you how I got here I just started believing what God believed about me and it put me in a position to start
