Scripture reading Genesis 2:15-16 (NIV) 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;

 

Sermon Title:  I am not out of options…

I know it’s been hard, but God wanted me to sit next to you to tell you that you  are not desperate and you are not out of options…

Dr. Jamal explains while he was on his trip, he had a 3 hour drive to his destination.. He met some people from Minnesota when he got to this destination, and they told him that he could have chartered a plane, took a helicopter and been on the island in 30-minutes… However, he did not know he had options was the lesson learned…

 

 You wasted your day unnecessarily, because you did not know that you had options….

As of this moment, in the next 7  days, God is opening up to you unlimited options…  The only things I needed to know from God is that there are some other options… Do not let the enemy twist your arm and put a gun to your head and make you think you do not have any other options….

You do not have to work on that job if you don’t like it… You don’t have to stay in that relationship if you don’t like it.. Do not make yourself beleive that quitting is your only choice… God woke you up this morning to let you know that you have options..

When the wise men came to see Jesus to bring gifts…

You are going home a different way… Whatever emotions and thoughts that have been running through your minds, your feelings would have been change.. I declare stress, depression, hypertension, Etc.. Is moving out of your way and it’s under your feet….

I pray every spirit of witchcraft, and negative spirit that has tried to blind you from your assignment… I speak over that lyeing, nasty devil that that spirit has just been cancelled…..

You have a choice and need you to declare out load that you are going home another way…

The Power of life and death is in your mouth… They give you the option to speak life… You have to authority to speak over your future.. .The choice is yours… Whatever you speak next, it will have authority over your life the next 45 day.. If you believe that your eyes are seeing the glory of the Lord… When you open up your mouth, you will open options!!!!   Hallelujah!!!

Whatever you speak will set the tone for the rest of your summer….  I speak greatness right now!!!!!!

An open mouth opens an option!!!!

Joseph was different from his family… They did not understand how he saw things in the natural…. As a consequence he ended up in slavery and Potiphar’s wife made unwanted advances at him… He said “I can have anything, but you”….

But for many of you, you have to decide… Is the person you sleeping with worth loosing your promise?  Not that I can’t have you, but I ‘d rather have the Kingdom, than to sleep with you….  The Olympic champion said that the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was be 29 and a virgin…  I’d rather have what God has for me than what people think they can provide for me..

In Genesis Chapter 5:15  – God took man and placed him in the Garden to work it….     Don’t look at the person beside you, look at you… God is about to put you in an environment where you belong… You have to much to offer to be working in a Garden… This is the season you are about to yield an incredile harvest… He is getting ready to put you into a place where you gifts, dreams and imaginations can grow and not be encumbered…  He is getting ready to put you in an environment where you are a gift to the environment.. He is gettting ready to put me where I m celebrated…. This is for those that know that if my dream and ideal ever get some attention, I will shift everything in my environment…

He does not just put Adam in the Garden… He tells him to work it… .Work your gifts, work your dreams, ideals, concepts and talents…

Look around because you worked for this… You sacraficed for this… For you to work that hard and you have nothing to show  for… What you see in this Garden, you have a choice….. If you work hard for your gift, don’t you dare aplogiize for your gift… You work to hard not to have what you want….  People who are mad at what you have, don’t work as hard as you do… .You deserve it!.

Ladies and gentleman, this is not a regular church..  The harder you work, the more choices you will have… God does not bless lazy people… If  you work sun up to sun down, and you had to sweat to get it.. Make no apology… You had to work for what you have…

 If I work for it, I should be able to have it… How I look apologizing because  I look this good… While you were flipping the channels watching Jerry Springer, God was blessing me for working in my Garden…

 Behold, I stand at the door and knock….  Any man that let him in, I will come in and supp with him… I felt stuck and desperate, and chose to go with Jesus… I’m looking for some believers that are not apologetic for believing…

One day when I was lost he died upon the cross and I know it was the blood for me….       No other God’s can’t do it, but there is something about that man Jesus that woke me up this morning…  You can’t make me doubt him, I know to much about him… He’s real to me…. Neighbor, do you remember the day you chose him?  I remember that Friday night I was in church… I felt a litlle wheel turning and a fire burning….. If you knew the places I’ve been….. You would not sit there an be looking stuck up… If anybody ask me, what’s the matter with  me… Telll them I’m saved, sanctified and I’m running for my life…. Is there anybody glad to be filled with the Holy Ghost?

Be seated please……   (Dr. Jamal H. Bryant)     – In Acts Chapter 1 Jesus give the directives to the diciples… Wait on the gifts that the father has promised.. You will be baptized in the Holy Spirit… They had a choice whether you stay or you go… If you don’t want it as bad as I do, but I’m getting baptized… Every person on your row is getting ready to get filled with the Holy Ghost… Just wait on it… They that wait on the Lord, he shalll renew your strength.. You shall mount up as wings of Eagles…

God, If I ever needed you before, I sure do need you now… In two minutes, if you open up your mouth… There is getting ready to be a visitation…. Open up your mouth and lift up your voice… The holy spirit is getting ready to decscen… But I need some Intercessor to pray..,. .Those that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth…. Lord I’ve been waiting… While on other’s though are calling, please don’t pass me by….

His glory is getting ready to come… His train is getting ready to fill the templ… God’s glory is filling the room… .I choose to give God glory and bless the Lord at all times… His praise shall continusly be in my mout… Oh taste and see that the Lord is good… In the time of trouble, he shall hide me… When my mother and my father forsake me, he will hide me… When trouble comes, he will hide me…. There must be a God somewhere… Would you open up your mouth and choose… This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it…. It needs to be a sign from your belly…. Lift him up… He’s coming… I can’t hear nobody…. lift him up…. I need you to scream and open up your mouth like he is in the room…. I need you to hollar like demons are trembling….. I need you to lift him up… Lift him up until he speaks from eternity… If I be lifted up, I’ll draw all men unto me….

My time is up, and for the last time I will ask you to be seated……

Praises are going up in the sanctuary…. Thank you Lord… Hallelujah!!!

I feel his anointing…. I need just one scream…. If somebody would just lift up his name… I got to say one last thing to you then we will open up the doors of the church, have an offerring and give the benediction…

Praising God is a choice… You do not have too…. It is a choice to praise him! If I choose to praise God that is my choice… You cannot encumber my decision… .I choose to shout and clap… I choose to yell and dance…. Because shouting gives me options… Because I found out that when the praises go up, the blessing come down… I’m shouting because when I shout, I am not out of energy… When I shout, I do not run out of energy.. .When I shout favor takes the place of money… So when you see me giving God the glory… I’m giving God the glory because I have no choice…. I came in church saying God it’s about me and you… I came into church because I need more choices.

I would be wreckless if I did not tell you… You can anything in the garden, but this One tree…. On this Pentecost Sunday, my cirlcle is getting a lot smaller… I want to praise God for the option he said No too! I want to shout for the doors he shut… I want to pray for the people he got out of my life… I want to shout for what I could not have…

Most of our shouting is for what we can get… But I need mature chrisitant to shout for what God said NO to…. You would be messed up if you married that psycho path.. You should be shouting for that job you did not get… You shoukd be shouting for what you could not get to… We mess up when we choose what was not an option… When you take what was not an option for you, that’s when your life spiral out of control….

Many people never live past it because they consume something that was growing wrong… I am now purging your system of every decision you chose incorrectly… All the poising fruits of poor choices are not going to corrupt your destiny… God is getting out of system, all the things you put into you system.. He is now getting it out of your account.. .Every person that you have been intimate with… His trace is going to be released from your body.. You are not going to have a stroke or a heart attack, your orans will work properly.. .You will not spend your last days in a nursing home… I came that you h ave life, and have life more abundantly… I pray you later will be grater than your past.. You will be bombarded with options… You will go from no dates to your phone ringing off the hook…. In the next 7 days, options are getting ready to rain into your life…

Don’t let anybody make you think you don’t have some other options…

I speak options over your children.. Your children will have more options than you can ever dream or imagine… I pray your grandchildren will experience things you could not ever imagine… I speak over your options….

I want you to live there because that’s where you want to live… I want you drive it because you like it…
I want you to wear it because you like it….

I was flying home yesterday and God gave me this… It’s not about section 8, WIC of food stamps… Poverty means lack of options… .You willl never have another day in poverty… You eill never have another day in poverty if you believe that the sky is the limit for what you can have… .I want somebody to shout for God given options.

You can choose to stay in the life you are in and go no where,, or you can choose Jesus Christ and go to the top…

You need to choose a church that will change and innovate you… There’s no God like Jehovah… Jesus is your best option…. Pray for somebody to find Jesus and get saved…

With your eyes open, will you give God a praise in advance…

If you are not saved, I need you to come quickly… Wherever you are, I need you to come… This is what I need you to do… Talk to the people on your row and ask them are they saved and need a church home…

There’s no God like Jehovah!!!

 You are in the right place at the right time serving the right God…  If you know I”m right about it, give God some Praise!!!!

“A person who can’t stand for something will fall for anything ” ( Dr. Martin Luther King)

 

Give me more choices, but not more than I can handle…

May God remove every frustration, and I’m praying
that new doors open up for you… New Options!!!
