Scripture: Daniel Chapter 10:12-14 – (NIV)12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”
Sermon Title: “It’s out of my hands…” What you have been dealing with all week, it’s out of my hands…
Certain people have lost their faith because of unanswered prayers… When prayers are not answered they begin to consult horoscopes, psychic hotlines, etc.. and sometimes addiction…. It can cause us to feel abandoned and isolated from God…
If you don’t be careful, you will begin to entertain the preconceived notion that God don’t love me… Maybe my prayer was not answered because it may be a form of punishment…When prayer does not work it does not mean that God is not working…
There was a man named Jonah that had a call on his life… He began to go into the direction he wanted to go in… He got swallowed by a great fish… He was found in the belly of the great whale… He did not remember God when he was running, but when he was in the belly of whale, he remembered God and prayed. A lot of people that don’t pray don’t remember God… When you pray, you can’t help but to remember God… I don’t know if you ever felt like you were falling apart? You begin to praise in Thanksgiving while he is in the belly of the fish…. He is not out of it, but when he remembers who God is, he starts to give God praise while he was still in it… He praised God – Nowhere in Chapter 2 does God ever speak to Jonah… He says my life is falling apart, and still God does not say anything… He would begin to 2nd guess his 2nd demonstration of faith he started to doubt God and say God don’t love me… “When God is not talking to you, he is talking to the thing you are in….” God is praying and is giving God Glory…. Then next thing we notice that God spit Johan out… I’m handling things that you think had dominion over your life.. If you have not heard from God, you know he is working on your circumstance, and he knows that you will still praise him and give him glory through it all… While I am in the situation, I will still God glory because everything the devil thought he had me trapped in, but I’m coming out by Easter Sunday… So I give God glory right now…
Daniel began to express the failures of his life…. He began to pray for development and growth… He begins to fast for 21 days and still does not hear nothing from God.. .He turned his plate down, but he still did not hear anything… After the fast he begin to have vision… when you don’t hear anything from God, God will start showing you visions.. He will use visions to replace his voice… It was throwing him off, because he was seeing visions because of the consecration of him seeking God… Some people have not committed their selves to that level of discipline… I cannot talk about the vision, but I’m giving God glory because of what I can see in dreams in the middle of the light.. You will know why I have not committed suicide in the middle of the tonight, because I see a vision of what my tomorrow is going to look like… In that visit, he has a visitation and said stop feeling nervous.. Stop feeling at ease… It’s going to work out… Chill out, and stop worrying yourself into a tizzy… “It’s going to work out” Encourage the person next to you and tell them that it is going to work out… I know the enemy has been messing with your mind, but I want you to know that all things work together for the good to them that love the Lord and is called according to his purpose… Look at you neighbor and say “It’s going to work out!” “IT’S GOING TO WORK OUT~!!”
The angel said we heard your prayer the first day you started praying about it… The first time it came out of your mouth, I assigned an angel to the problem… I heard you the first time you prayed, but there was in interference in the transmission… There were some demonic forces that have been fighting me that was hoping I did not get my prayer answered… There has been an interference with the transmission… None of my internet connections or WIFI was not working last night… Nothing was working… He needed his Information Technology person (I.T. person) to check out his equipment… He had a fire wall up, he advised him to shut everything down and start everything back up… Sometimes when you are not hearing from God, you need to shut everything down and ask God what do your require from me.. You need to shut some stuff down, and restart over and shut some stuff down..
Everything that was on your system negative, I had to erase it so you could shut down… You just need to shut down…. The demons had been fighting me for 21 days.. He did not know that the celestial changes were taken place in the spirit realm, and at the same time the angels were wresting and fighting for him at the same time..
I know God is tired of hearing my voice… I’m not going to stop praying until all of my prayers are answered… Open up your mouth and give God Glory like you know this is a fight worth fighting for… The angels say I’ve come because of your word…. Had you not lifted any words, I would not have come… No prayer, no visitation.. For those of you know that is what it takes, I know that all I have to do is lift up my hands with a clean heart, and God will answer my prayers…
In Chapter 10: When we pray, Angels ease drop… Daniel is praying to God, but there is an angel somewhere around the throne.. NO where in text does it say God sent an Angel.. He said because the Father is occupied, I needed to send an angel… God said he sent an angel to come meet me where I am for something I prayed about last night.. You do not know how valuable you are that an angel fell out of protocol because they wanted to see you be blessed faster… How many of you know that God is sending an angel to help build me up when I’m getting ready to fall apart… He is sending you an angel… I’m tired of seeing you go through….
I have date night with my daughter’s and I get them dressed up and put Vaseline on their lips and take them to a 5 start restaurant to let them know what they are suppose to expect… I set a date and let them know that I am flying in to take you to dinner… I will be there at 5:00 pm with runs in their stockings… I told them not to run down stairs.. Stay up stairs to let them know that you were worth the wait… Adora yelled, Grace come one… She asked her Daddy do I look good… Do you like my shoes? She said, you bought these shoes for me… He is now missing one girl, Angel that was sitting on the stairs laughing… Grace said do you want me to go get Angel… Can I tell you a secret, she said I’m different from my sisters because I am an angel in real life… When you know you are anointed, let other folks run in front of you because you know who you are, and please know that he saves the best for last.. An angel is on the way to assist you in the situation you are in…. An Angel is on the way to assist you in the situation you are in… But he got tied up with Beelzebub, Satin who he got into a fight with…So he saw the angel was tied up, so he sent a back up… He said the backup is getting ready to send a back up… I’m getting ready to fight for you, because you have been fighting for everyone one else.. Fighting for that marriage, that child… I’m getting ready to fight for you for extending your expenditure… You have literally had to put your life on hold to make sure they were ok… But God says I’m sending an angel to be your angel… I am renewing your strength….
I need to say three things to you and then I’m going home… Hear what the spirit is saying to the church… Right now while you are in church, God is slowing down and fighting every advisory devil that have been dwelling in my house… I’m working it all out for you right now… Right now, there is a fight going on between heaven and earth.. The devil is scared that you are going to get your answer… Everything is about to change…
Jacob was wresting with the angel, and his shift was almost over and he needed someone to take his position… You are in the middle of a shift… The angel you were with you in 2011 is going off duty… He is getting ready to send a fresh touch to your vision… Everything is getting ready to shift by March 1, 2012… You have to much not to have nothing to show for all the fighting you have been through… Do you think I would let you go through the fight and have nothing to show for it? Jacob is in the fight and he said: “Bless me while I’m in the fight” Don’t bless me after the fight, but bless me while I’m in the fight… Your next blessing might hurt… It might reprioritize your thinking.. This next blessing is going to change your walk with him… I am in it because I want to walk like him…
This next part I need to give a disclaimer because it will not give cause to give celebration… It’s incumbent of me is to tell you that Jacob in the middle of the fight had his name changed from Jacob the Hustler, the swindler to the Jacob the prince of God… Your blessing will not be what you receive… Your answer to your prayer will not be what you will receive but what you will become….. Some of you all can only shout on what God gives you…. But My prayer life made me something different…. The answer to your prayer is what warfare made you… You want to know what God did for you, don’t look at your bank account… Look in the mirror and see the testimony… Say somebody prayed for me… I need 70 of you to say, prayer changed me!!! I’m living in the same house with the same car, but PRAYER changed me… Hallelujah….. I know that aint for everybody… I know some of you guys had a flashback… You look back and think about the things you did in 2007, 2008, 2009, etc… You know you look better now as you look back… Hallelujah. I need you to elbow your neighbor and say you are different and you are focused… Prayer turned me into my better self….
I have one more point to make… hallelujah…. If I did not have to finish this sermon I would be up here crying.. I have one more announcement… God told me to tell all of the worshippers that “It is out of your hands!”””’ Open up your mouth and give God the Glory… It is out of my hands….. . Hallelujah…
Lift up your hands right where you are…. I just said “It is off of you” No reason to fight another day… It is out of your hands.. Stop trying to negotiate… It is out of your hands…
In the name of Jesus you know the issue we have been holding to… I thank you right now Lord that it is out of my hands.. As Jesus declared when he was on the cross: “Father it is out of my hands” If you believe that, lift up your hands and open up your mouth and cry out unto God… I need you to trust him right now… Hallelujah, I believe by faith that it is out of your hands… Everything is out of your hands… The experts don’t know that it’s out of hands…. .Whatever it is I’ve been fighting over for the past couple of years… It is out of my hand…. I can’t hear anybody… Lift up your hands and begin to magnify God… lift up your voice because I said “It is out of your hands.” You only have 30 seconds left.. I know you have been dealing with an issue with your son… But open up your mouth and know that it is out of your hands…. Those of that have been close to backsliding and going back, I dare you to lift up your hand and act like you know that it’s out of your hands…. I need a war cry in here… Lift your voice like you mean it… I feel God in this place… Cry out unto God “It’s out of my hands.” Oh, Oh… It’s out of my hands… Thank you Jesus.. If you worship me, I will send you answers… It’s out of my hands…..
I want to pray for you… whatever you have been trying to mange and cope with and work out.. God told me to tell you at 9:30…”Get your hands off it” I am here to help you with your issue.. If you believe and have confidence that can do it.. Give him glory right now…
Please know that somebody prayed for you.. Somebody took the time and prayed for me.. Make sure you are at a season in your life that people are praying for you and not against you… Please know that prayer answers prayer.. Know for yourself that God answers prayer.. Tell somebody about a prayer God has answered for you… Give God glory for answered prayers… Encourage them, invite them and convince them why they need to get saved… Ask them do they know Jesus Christ in the pardon of their sins…
