Sermon #S044 - It's
Not By Accident (Part 2)
00:00:05.13\00:00:19.21
Welcome to the Breath of Life
Television Ministries broadcast
with Pastor Debleaire Snell!
00:00:19.25\00:00:25.95
In today's episode, Pastor Snell
will continue part two of the
powerful Message titled:
00:00:25.99\00:00:31.76
“It's Not By Accident” Now,
let's go deeper into the word of
00:00:31.79\00:00:39.37
God! Pastor Snell: See, it's
crazy because there's a reason
that Abraham's dad settled in
00:00:39.40\00:00:46.14
Haran because man, Canaan is
kind of like that up-and-coming
area like Destin in North
00:00:46.17\00:00:51.95
Florida. Everybody knows that
there is value in the land of
00:00:51.98\00:00:55.25
Canaan. So, the reason he
stopped short in Haran is
because he knows that there are
00:00:55.28\00:01:02.62
folks that have occupied the
land of Canaan, and he's going
to either have to fight to enter
00:01:02.66\00:01:06.76
the land of Canaan, or he's
going to have to fight to remain
in the land of Canaan.
00:01:06.80\00:01:10.57
So, what he makes a decision to
do is to take the path of least
00:01:10.60\00:01:17.74
resistance. In other words, he
says, "I'm going to go to Haran
because folks ain't coming for
00:01:17.77\00:01:24.15
me in Haran. Ain't nobody's
checking for me in Haran. There
is no threat in Haran."
00:01:24.18\00:01:30.05
One of the things I need you to
know is that if there is no
fight for the path you're on,
00:01:30.09\00:01:36.56
then you might be
on the wrong path.
00:01:36.59\00:01:39.46
See, I need you to know that
there are some of us that get to
a place where we interpret the
00:01:39.49\00:01:46.97
will of God by how easy it is,
how much things come together,
how quickly, everything works
00:01:47.00\00:01:51.44
out, but do I
have at least seven or
00:01:51.47\00:01:53.68
eight folks that have been
engaged in spiritual warfare
that knows that the way to
00:01:53.71\00:02:02.42
identify where God is moving is
by noticing where Satan is
resisting? Okay, let me preach
00:02:02.45\00:02:09.06
to you all on this side. In
other words, I need you to know
how easy it comes together, how
00:02:09.09\00:02:16.93
easy the money comes, how much
support rallies around you is
not always the proof. Sometimes
00:02:16.97\00:02:23.67
you don't know where there is
God unless the devil is
resisting it. In other words, if
00:02:23.71\00:02:34.38
the devil is not fighting it,
it's because he endorses it, or
is not intimidated by it. In
00:02:34.42\00:02:37.89
other words, man, I mean real
talk, man, there are times where
I go preach, I get a little bit
00:02:37.92\00:02:43.63
- and sometimes, man, it's
weird, man, and I don't want to
over sensationalized it, but
00:02:43.66\00:02:48.06
man, I get a little nervous when
the plane ride is too smooth.
Man, when the baggage comes out
00:02:48.10\00:02:53.80
first from the carousel. Man,
when the rental car is right
there on time. Man, those are
00:02:53.84\00:02:57.27
not the times when God moves the
most, but man, sometimes I
anticipate a move of God when
00:02:57.31\00:03:02.84
the plane gets delayed, there
are no rental cars at the
counter. My hotel room is not
00:03:02.88\00:03:09.55
ready. My bags get lost. That's
how I know God is about to show
00:03:09.58\00:03:12.42
up because the resistance is the
proof that God is going to do
something great in your life.
00:03:12.45\00:03:20.03
Are you all
hearing me today, friends?
00:03:20.06\00:03:22.20
Second thing, I need somebody to
get, and please, hear me out on
00:03:22.23\00:03:25.87
this. Second thing this teachers
is that sometimes your journey
and your destination won't
00:03:25.90\00:03:34.61
always compliment each other.
Let me say it again, that
sometimes your journey and your
00:03:34.64\00:03:41.78
destination won't always
compliment each other. You see,
church, there's become a phrase
00:03:41.82\00:03:48.06
that has become commonplace in
the vernacular of church life.
Anybody ever heard somebody say,
00:03:48.09\00:03:55.90
"I don't look like what I've
been through"? The assumption is
that my journey should have
00:03:55.93\00:04:05.37
caused my destination to land or
look differently than it does.
The reason we say we don't look
00:04:05.41\00:04:09.91
like what we've been through is
because we couldn't anticipate
what our journey was going to
00:04:09.94\00:04:17.09
produce. In other words, when I
see a shiny diamond, I don't
assume it came that way.
00:04:17.12\00:04:24.66
I assume that is going through a
process of intense pressure that
caused it to come in that
00:04:24.69\00:04:33.50
fashion. When I see sparkling
gold in the store, I don't
assume somebody just rubbed on
00:04:33.54\00:04:39.24
it. I assume that it came
through a furnace where the
dross was removed and the
00:04:39.27\00:04:46.28
impurities were burned away.
When you see somebody that has a
lean, muscular and ripped body,
00:04:46.31\00:04:53.99
you don't assume they were born
that way. You assume that their
body has gone through a rigor
00:04:54.02\00:05:02.30
and a discipline that helped
them get to that particular
place. So, the truth is, yes,
00:05:02.33\00:05:08.97
you look like what you've been
through. So that if you're
shining, it's because you've
00:05:09.00\00:05:16.04
already gone through the fire.
If your character is sculpted,
it's because discipline produced
00:05:16.08\00:05:21.05
it. If you're shining like pure
gold, it's because you've gone
through a furnace that's removed
00:05:21.08\00:05:26.29
all of the impurities, and
sometimes your journey won't
look like your destination,
00:05:26.32\00:05:34.56
okay? See, the reason, this is
important is because some of you
have a view of how your life is
00:05:34.60\00:05:40.34
supposed to end up, but I need
you to get that sometimes the
journey won't always foreshadow
00:05:40.37\00:05:46.74
the destination, and where
you're going to land because
sometimes, it's going to look
00:05:46.78\00:05:52.41
like your process and
the product are actually in
00:05:52.45\00:05:55.12
conflict. So, remember now God
says to Abraham, "I'm going to
make you a great nation that
00:05:55.15\00:06:03.49
your descendants are going to be
as numerous as the stars in the
sky, or the grains of sand on
00:06:03.53\00:06:09.46
the seashore. But I need you to
notice that there is a chasm
between his journey and his
00:06:09.50\00:06:15.67
destination. In other words, the
destination is to be the father
of a nation, but his journey is
00:06:15.70\00:06:24.18
filled with barrenness and
fatherlessness and impotence.
Are you all with me today? In
00:06:24.21\00:06:33.42
other words, Joseph's
destination was rulership, but
his journey was slavery and
00:06:33.46\00:06:43.20
prison. You all are still not
with me. David's destination was
to be king, but his journey was
00:06:43.23\00:06:50.81
the field and to be a fugitive.
That Joshua's destiny was to
lead, but his path was to be
00:06:50.84\00:06:58.31
second in command to Moses. That
Jesus' destiny was to be Lord of
all, but his path took him
00:06:58.35\00:07:09.32
through the cross and an empty
grave, so that nobody's journey
looks just like their
00:07:09.36\00:07:15.60
destination. It's crazy because
you won't always see this right
away. Right now, everything is
00:07:15.63\00:07:20.94
lining up. You know exactly what
school you're going to go to.
You know exactly what major
00:07:20.97\00:07:23.77
you're going to study. You know
exactly what classes you're
going to take, but how many of
00:07:23.81\00:07:29.44
us know that no matter how clear
the path looks right now,
they're going to be detours,
00:07:29.48\00:07:36.72
uncertainties, unknowns and
things that you could not
calculate that are going to
00:07:36.75\00:07:44.86
invade your life. There are
going to be losses and
disappointments and betrayals
00:07:44.89\00:07:54.14
along the way, but the good news
is that all things work together
for them that love God, to them
00:07:54.17\00:08:03.28
that are called according to his
purposes. This is why when
you're on God's Divine path, you
00:08:03.31\00:08:06.61
can't spend a whole lot of time
looking in your peripheral
vision. In other words, if your
00:08:06.65\00:08:12.32
steps have been ordered by God,
you won't spend a whole lot of
time looking at how they're
00:08:12.35\00:08:19.56
doing and how they're advancing,
and where they are in their
journey. In other words, you
00:08:19.59\00:08:24.43
can't have a destination that's
unique and have a path that
looks like everyone else's. So,
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.37
when you're called, there are
going to be times where God adds
00:08:27.40\00:08:32.24
to you, but then they're going
to be times where God subtracts
from you to keep you mobile.
00:08:32.27\00:08:41.98
Let me say it again. They're
going to be times when you're
called where God adds to you,
00:08:42.02\00:08:47.16
but then they're going to be
times where God withholds from
you, so he can keep you mobile.
00:08:47.19\00:08:53.66
It's crazy because Abraham, when
he's in his father's house, he's
in a place where everybody has
00:08:53.70\00:09:03.44
children, but him. His siblings
have children. In fact, he's at
an age around 75 where even his
00:09:03.47\00:09:11.25
nephews and his nieces, their
children have children. Are you
all hearing what I'm saying?
00:09:11.28\00:09:15.12
But can I suggest that I don't
want to throw it out as a fact
that even God withholding
00:09:15.15\00:09:23.76
children from Abraham is a part
of God's providential leading in
his life. So, question,
00:09:23.79\00:09:32.43
God calls Abraham at about
75 out of his father's house.
00:09:32.47\00:09:37.77
He calls him to live as a nomad
and a sojourner en route to a
land that God has not even
00:09:37.81\00:09:47.68
identified. But my question for
us to consider today is that God
withheld children from Abraham
00:09:47.72\00:09:56.59
to test him, or did he withhold
children to keep Abraham mobile?
00:09:56.62\00:10:03.63
In other words, was God trying
to keep him from the same
mistake that his father had made
00:10:03.67\00:10:11.57
of settling and colonizing in a
land that was not a part of his
ultimate destination?
00:10:11.61\00:10:18.55
In other words, was God keeping
children from him, or was He
just trying to give him the
00:10:18.58\00:10:26.19
dexterity and the freedom to
follow God's ultimate path that
God had for him? You notice that
00:10:26.22\00:10:35.16
he was sent to Canaan, Abraham,
Sarai and Lot were relatively
unattached people. In other
00:10:35.20\00:10:41.97
words, was God withholding kids
or was He saving them for the
00:10:42.00\00:10:48.78
right season? I need you to
think through this with me. Look
at Abraham's journey after he
00:10:48.81\00:10:55.52
left his father's house. Read in
Genesis chapter 12, "That after
they left the land of Ur, that
00:10:55.55\00:11:03.22
when they went into Canaan, the
Bible says a severe famine came
upon the land, and because of
00:11:03.26\00:11:09.63
the famine, they had to go down
to the land of Egypt where there
was such threat that Abraham had
00:11:09.66\00:11:19.31
to pretend that Sarai was his
sister. If Sarai had four or
five kids, then guess what?
00:11:19.34\00:11:25.25
Abraham would have been in a
whole lot of trouble. Even when
they get back to Canaan, Abraham
00:11:25.28\00:11:35.42
has to go to war with those that
overtook Lot and all of his
descendants. What I'm wondering
00:11:35.46\00:11:44.17
today, was God trying to
preserve Abraham? Because if
they had children and
00:11:44.20\00:11:47.90
grandchildren, there in the land
of Haran, they would have been
so attached and so settled that
00:11:47.94\00:11:54.64
their emotions would have been
in conflict with their calling.
In other words, God had to keep
00:11:54.68\00:11:59.18
him light. He had to keep him
portable. He had to make sure
that he had the tools and the
00:11:59.21\00:12:06.55
freedom to operate in the plan
that God had for him. In other
words, maybe God knew that
00:12:06.59\00:12:16.26
Abraham was going to face so
much danger that the danger will
keep him from leaving, or the
00:12:16.30\00:12:22.30
danger would cause him to go
right back to where God had
delivered him from. Are you all
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.01
hearing what I'm saying today
friends? See, I need somebody to
understand that there are things
00:12:24.04\00:12:29.04
that God has in store for you,
but God has it ordained for a
certain season. There are
00:12:29.08\00:12:35.58
certain things that God has not
provided because He wants you to
have the mobility to go wherever
00:12:35.62\00:12:43.39
it is that he sends. You're all
not acting crazy, or not acting
right. In other words, there's a
00:12:43.43\00:12:50.37
reason you haven't found a beau
before you graduated. In other
words, God wanted to keep you
00:12:50.40\00:12:56.04
for the one you meet your senior
year in college. You all are not
here with me today. There was a
00:12:56.07\00:13:01.84
reason you didn't get into that
program because God wanted to
free you to get into the
00:13:01.88\00:13:06.75
ordained program. There was
a reason that clique of friends
00:13:06.78\00:13:11.59
didn't accept you because God
wanted to keep you free for the
ones that will be partners with
00:13:11.62\00:13:17.13
you into eternity. There was a
reason you didn't get that job
because God wanted to preserve
00:13:17.16\00:13:24.20
you to start your own business.
There is somebody that doesn't
know how to interpret a
00:13:24.23\00:13:30.64
termination. You thought they
were firing you, but God was
freeing you to start the
00:13:30.67\00:13:38.28
franchise that will turn the
world upside down for His glory.
[ Congregation: Applauding]
00:13:38.31\00:13:39.88
So, I need somebody to know
that when your steps have been
00:13:39.91\00:13:45.85
ordered by God, he's got an
ordained time when you all meet
00:13:45.89\00:13:49.46
the right friends. He's got an
ordained time when you all come
to understand your calling.
00:13:49.49\00:13:53.63
There's an ordained time when
you'll meet the right spouse.
00:13:53.66\00:13:56.77
There is an ordained time when
you'll begin your missionary
00:13:56.80\00:14:00.64
pursuits, but you've got to have
enough mobility to move into
what God has for you. Are you
00:14:00.67\00:14:09.94
all hearing me today, friends?
It's crazy, man. Every now and
then as we are traveling and
00:14:09.98\00:14:16.38
marching through the airport,
there are times the night
before, I'll tell my kids to
00:14:16.42\00:14:20.66
make sure that you all charged
up your devices. Charged up your
iPad, but when we were marching
00:14:20.69\00:14:27.00
through the airport, especially
for my youngest, you know what I
have to do? I have to take the
00:14:27.03\00:14:30.67
iPad from him. The reason I have
to take the iPad from him is so
that he can maintain a mobile
00:14:30.70\00:14:36.71
posture. Parents know what I'm
talking about because I don't
00:14:36.74\00:14:39.57
take it from him, he's trying to
look at the iPad while he's
walking through the airport.
00:14:39.61\00:14:43.14
He's going to run into people
trying to look at the iPad.
He'll leave his luggage behind
00:14:43.18\00:14:49.48
looking at the iPad. There are
times where he thinks I'm mad
because I'm taking the iPad
00:14:49.52\00:14:56.32
away. No, I'm the one that
bought the iPad. I'm the one
that told you to charge the
00:14:56.36\00:15:03.03
iPad. I just have to keep it in
my bag so that you don't get
distracted, so that you don't
00:15:03.06\00:15:07.20
crash into somebody else, so
that you don't leave it behind,
but I'm going to give it to you
00:15:07.24\00:15:10.67
when you get settled in
your seat. [ Congregation: Yes]
00:15:10.71\00:15:12.27
Is there anybody that knows that
God has some blessings that He
00:15:12.31\00:15:18.05
preserved for you, but He's got
to tuck them away so you don't
get distracted. You don't get
00:15:18.08\00:15:24.05
sidetracked. He just wants you
to get settled so that He can
give what was the purpose for
00:15:24.09\00:15:30.89
you to have. Are you
all hearing me today?
00:15:30.93\00:15:31.96
[ Congregation: Yes]
00:15:31.99\00:15:33.40
Third thing I need you to
understand about being called is
00:15:33.43\00:15:36.26
this. That God calls ordinary
people. Now, the reason we have
a hard time accepting this is
00:15:36.30\00:15:48.08
because we put the people in the
scripture on a plane that is
almost inhuman. We're
00:15:48.11\00:15:55.98
Adventists, but we met like
Catholics, we venerate the
saints, and we put them in a
00:15:56.02\00:16:05.43
sphear that is beyond even what
the Bible says because we won't
embrace the principle that God
00:16:05.46\00:16:10.20
uses Ordinary People. It's crazy
because nobody personifies this
00:16:10.23\00:16:16.27
more than Abraham. One of the
things that strikes me about
Abraham is how amazingly
00:16:16.30\00:16:24.71
unspectacular he is.
That Abraham has no obvious
00:16:24.75\00:16:27.98
superpower, which would commend
him as the reason that God chose
him to be the father of a
00:16:28.02\00:16:33.05
Nation. He has no outright
gift that sets him apart.
00:16:33.09\00:16:35.72
In other words, Abraham is not
described as being good looking
like Joseph. He does not
00:16:35.76\00:16:43.50
interpret dreams like Daniel. He
is not as strong as Samson. He
is not as courageous as David.
00:16:43.53\00:16:52.17
He does not do healing like
Paul. I need you to know the
only thing that Abraham has
00:16:52.21\00:17:02.58
going for him is that Abraham is
willing. Oh God. In other words,
Abraham is willing to leave
00:17:02.62\00:17:06.99
without knowing all the details.
Abraham is willing to follow
hard instructions. Abraham is
00:17:07.02\00:17:17.53
willing to leave the places of
safety and comfort. I need
somebody to know that God's
00:17:17.57\00:17:27.91
greatest trait in a man is not
giftedness. It's willingness.
See, God doesn't just always
00:17:27.94\00:17:36.15
come to gifted people. God lays
His hands on the willing people.
You may feel a little bit behind
00:17:36.18\00:17:41.69
because your GPA might not be
where some are, or your athletic
prowess may not be as advanced
00:17:41.72\00:17:48.10
as some, or maybe your body has
not developed in the same way
others have, but I need you to
00:17:48.13\00:17:52.77
know that God is not looking at
your giftedness. Your success is
going to be connected to your
00:17:52.80\00:17:57.14
willingness. You see, man? To
think about Abraham, man, he is
old, but he is willing.
00:17:57.17\00:18:01.54
He'll have integrity, but he
is willing. Man, he doesn't have
00:18:01.58\00:18:06.01
kids, but he is willing. But I
need you to know that God will
apply His power wherever there
00:18:06.05\00:18:14.29
is a willing vessel. Are you all
hearing the pastor today?
Listen, I'm almost done. Let me
00:18:14.32\00:18:18.99
give you one verse, then I'm
going to take my seat. Second
Corinthians, chapter 12 and
00:18:19.03\00:18:28.00
verse number 9. Can we look at
one verse? I'm going to need you
to understand God's metric,
00:18:28.04\00:18:36.91
second Corinthians, chapter 12
and verse number 9. When you get
there, let me hear you say,
00:18:36.95\00:18:39.11
"Amen." Second Corinthians 12
and verse 9. This is the
formula, second Corinthians 12,
00:18:39.15\00:18:52.56
and verse number 9. Are you with
me? So, the word literally says
to us, in verse 8, "God is able
00:18:52.59\00:18:59.53
to make all grace abound toward
you, that always having
sufficiency in all things that
00:18:59.57\00:19:05.21
they may have abundance for
every good work. As it is
written, he has dispersed
00:19:05.24\00:19:12.78
abroad. He has given the poor
His righteousness endures
forever." One more text I want
00:19:12.81\00:19:22.16
you to look at quickly. Go to
First Corinthians chapter 1 and
verse 26. When you get there,
00:19:22.19\00:19:35.34
let me hear you say, "Amen."
First Corinthians chapter 1 and
verse 26, "For you see your
00:19:35.37\00:19:42.01
calling, brethren, that not many
wise according to the flesh. Not
many mighty, not many noble or
00:19:42.04\00:19:50.22
what, but God has chosen the
foolish things of this world to
put to shame to wise, and God
00:19:50.25\00:19:56.09
has chosen the weak things of
the world, to put to shame the
things that are mighty. The base
00:19:56.12\00:20:00.63
things of this world, the things
that are despised, God has
chosen. That the things which
00:20:00.66\00:20:12.14
are not, will bring to nothing
the things that are, that no
flesh should glory in His
00:20:12.17\00:20:23.05
presence. How many of us know
that God then calls, who do you
think He would call? See, the
00:20:23.08\00:20:32.46
reason that man, Samuel, that
Jesse was all messed up because
God doesn't see like man sees.
00:20:32.49\00:20:39.40
Man looks on the outward
appearance, but can anybody
that's less than that doesn't
00:20:39.43\00:20:46.57
have the pedigree, that doesn't
have the right last name, that
doesn't come from the right part
00:20:46.61\00:20:55.95
of town, can you praise God that
even though man looks on the
outward appearance, can you give
00:20:55.98\00:20:58.09
God a praise that he looks
beyond the outside and he sees
your heart? [ Congregation:
00:20:58.12\00:21:08.40
Applauding] See, we say, God
looks beyond your faults. No,
God is looking for your faults.
00:21:08.43\00:21:16.44
That's not the Bible says that
His strength is made perfect in
weakness. So God, literally
00:21:16.47\00:21:23.75
allows His glory to settle in
the areas where you are afraid,
where you feel like you're not
00:21:23.78\00:21:35.69
enough. What God does is He
attaches His glory to the places
where you feel less able. So,
00:21:35.72\00:21:40.96
there are some of us that feel
like we're not able to go to
school, or able to go to the
00:21:40.96\00:21:45.77
military. We feel like we're not
able to handle the rigor. We
feel like we're not able to
00:21:45.80\00:21:50.01
handle the pressure. We feel
like we're not able to handle
the particular gamut that is in
00:21:50.04\00:21:57.95
front of us. I need you to know,
"Ah, thank you, Jesus," that if
you feel like you're not able,
00:21:57.98\00:22:02.35
then God has you right where He
wants you. Anybody ever felt
like, "I'm not able as a wife,
00:22:02.38\00:22:11.63
as a husband, as a spouse, as a
professional, where you felt
like, man, that you didn't have
00:22:11.66\00:22:16.90
enough, where the inner critic
inside of your soul was crying
out, and bringing to light
00:22:16.93\00:22:20.07
everywhere you fall short. I
need you to understand this
biblical immovable truth that
00:22:20.10\00:22:27.34
where you can't, God can. That
feeling of helplessness is
simply where you leverage your
00:22:27.38\00:22:35.72
prayer life to a heavy
dependence upon God. That's
where you got to get ready to
00:22:35.75\00:22:44.09
see God, do the most work
in your life. [ Congregation:
00:22:44.13\00:22:47.46
Applauding] So, I need you to
know that it is the anointing of
God that makes up all of the
00:22:47.50\00:22:53.23
difference, and wherever you may
seem to fall short academically,
spiritually, professionally or
00:22:53.27\00:22:59.47
socially, God's strength
is going to be applied to your
00:22:59.51\00:23:03.91
weakness. See, and that's why I
want to encourage you to make
sure that you are patient with
00:23:03.95\00:23:10.79
yourself. Give yourself time to
develop. I need you to
understand that you're not even
00:23:10.82\00:23:21.16
a fraction of the man you're
going to become. That you're not
even a tenth of the woman you
00:23:21.20\00:23:26.17
are going to develop into. I'm
saying, that's why you are not
making lasting judgments based
00:23:26.20\00:23:32.24
upon where you are today because
you're going to assess it
incorrectly because you feel
00:23:32.27\00:23:38.78
like you are not enough. Some of
you have heard me say before,
one of the things that I
00:23:38.81\00:23:42.65
oftentimes do, and I don't cook
a whole lot, but, man, one of
the things Pastor Snell can do,
00:23:42.68\00:23:49.32
I can make some grits that will
make you leave the church. [
Congregation: Applauding]
00:23:49.36\00:23:51.33
You all are not hearing the
pastor today. I mean, I ain't
going to lie, if you don't eat
00:23:51.36\00:23:55.23
these grits, do not be down with
the health message. I'm going to
load it with butter and salt and
00:23:55.26\00:24:00.97
cheese, like hypertension is
going to get the upper hand on
you if you eat some of these
00:24:01.00\00:24:07.08
grits. Are you all hearing what
I'm saying? But man, even
though, Rashid, man, I know how
00:24:07.11\00:24:12.61
to make them taste good, one of
the things I struggle with is
cooking the right amount. I
00:24:12.65\00:24:21.02
always cook too many grits when
I make it. There's always
leftovers and some that get
00:24:21.06\00:24:26.80
thrown away. The reason I often
make too much is because when I
have a big pot and I put one
00:24:26.83\00:24:32.17
little cup in the grits, it
seems like it's not going to be
enough for everybody.
00:24:32.20\00:24:37.17
But what I often forget is that
grits have multiplication
capacity so that when you add
00:24:37.21\00:24:49.28
water and you add heat, that
little bit of cup begins to fill
up the whole pot. I need to know
00:24:49.32\00:24:59.16
does anybody have a grits
anointing over your life [
Congregation: Applauding]
00:24:59.19\00:25:01.23
You may not feel like a whole
lot, but when God adds living
water and He adds the heat of
00:25:01.26\00:25:08.94
trial, He begins to multiply
you, grow you, stretch you, so
that you may start looking like
00:25:08.97\00:25:18.25
not enough, but by the time he's
done you're more than enough.
That's why John says, "It does
00:25:18.28\00:25:27.72
not yet appear what we shall be,
but when He shall appear, we
shall be like Him, and see Him
00:25:27.76\00:25:38.60
like He is because God got some
Quaker Grits anointing. That is
putting all over your life to
00:25:38.63\00:25:48.08
help you become who God has
called you to be. So, I need
somebody to know that nothing in
00:25:48.11\00:25:52.65
your life is an accident. That
the folk that left your life is
not an accident. The school you
00:25:52.68\00:25:59.92
didn't get in was not an
accident. The folk that won't be
friends with you is not an
00:25:59.95\00:26:03.06
accident, but God is just
keeping you mobile so that you
can keep moving to the purpose
00:26:03.09\00:26:11.23
and the plan and the call
that God has for your life.
