Sermon Title: It’s a crying shame…

I read a book called heaven has blue carpet, reading it on the plane and it tells a compelling story of a family of 6 that was going to give up urban living to go and live on a farm.. The felt that God was calling them to live in the rural…

They went to a dilapidated house, but they felt like this was their calling… Sheep are equip to give birth for 2 sheep.. If she has 3,  she can only feel 2 and one will get rejected..

Often the bummer sheep dies of a broken heart because they don’t’ know like many of you have no  ideal … Some of you have no ideal how it feels to be rejected by your own mother…  All you want is what they are suppose to do… Just be a mother… Don’t want her to loose a limb or give her life… Just be a mother..

They brought the extra sheep in the house that was rejected by it’s mother, they taught him how to walk… The amazing sheep name Burt learned how to walk on blue carpet.. Burt became healthier than all the other sheep.. He was stronger, and his teeth was stronger because after he was rejected and ignored he was forced to live with the shepherd.. It made them the prime candidate to live with him… The Lord says:  The Lord is my Shepherd.. He becomes the shepherd of those that have been rejected…

I’m here to preach to a small… Although your family has stained you, friend’s and lover have walked away.. .Don’t feel shame.. Don’t feel shame about who  you are…

If you have done wrong, then you can work off your guilt.. If you feel like you have not done nothing wrong… You will be amazed how many people buy clothes, shoes and binge eating because they are shame because of something they are not…

psalms 25:2 says don’t let me put to shame… What God has called and assigned  you to do.. He is not going to let you live your life in shame.. There is a different kind of call he has for your life… .Do not let the enemy let you live a life of derogation…

You are not your mistake.. People who try to line you up to your mistakes try to humble you.. They are trying to embarrass you… I’m sure none of you have been embarrassed… Today you are outliving your shame…

Psalms 31  says let the wicked be put to shame…  What God is working through, God is working on a plan to the people that has tried to strip you… When they see how good you turned out, they will feel embarrassed and ashamed that they tried to stop you..

You don’t look like what you been too because God will never let you be put to shame..

Those that trust in God with all your heart is going to be shame proof.. You have live through your most painful season and darkest night.. you have already cried your last tear.. The enemy should have got you before you starting loving yourself… I lived through so much shame, until now I am proud of what I am..

I am not arrogant, I’m just proud of what I am and not what I use to be.. .I refused to be ashamed of who I AM..

When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.. If you do not fulfill your God given assignment, you will not feel fulfilled…  God wants you to fill your assignment… At end I want you to look the the devil in your face, and tell them that you survived… Some testimonies are not for public consumption.. I’m not bitter or mad with anyone because what they meant for bad, God meant for good..  Have you ever been through

83:16 – He covered their face in shame so that they make seek you… Sometimes God will make you go through something shameful to develop your prayer life… It’s not until you have gone through your most embarrassing moment until you realize it;s just you and God.. You ask God to cover your face in shame..

 

He spit in the dirt and placed it on the man’s eyes and said walk through town until you get to the place… Wash it off when you get to the place… Whenever you have an assignment, God will let you walk around with mud on your face… Yeah I made some dumb decisions and bad choices…  This is your last season with mud on your face..  You are not going to walk around with humiliation and embarrassment..

Shame is like Cholesterol… A steroid used to manufacturer vitamin D… Vital to produce cell membranes… You cannot live without it, because we have good and bad cholesterol.. Bad cholesterol will cause you to have heart attacks… There are good shames and bad shames… I needed a little bit of shame to make me believe that it’s not about me…

I have enough shame  until I know God should have killed me last week, but if it had not been for the Lord that was on my side, my shame would have killed me..

Sometimes, shame can be good for you.. David said I was glad that I was afflicted..

I wish God could put me on blast privately…   When you sinned when you sinned with somebody.. You are my test tube baby…  Sometimes if I provoke you in public, I will praise you in public… Some people say embarrass them., because people don’t think they  have changed… but if they see…

With bad shame it effects your heart…  You feel like you are not good enough… With bad shame you always think you will be at the bottom of the barrel…

With bad shame you start to have low self esteem…You just go along to get alone and live with the present state of depression… With bad shame you will do absolutely nothing and sit in the house.. .You will not really prayer, because you believe that your prayer will not get answered anyways…

When you carry that much shame when you are anointed you take the risk of having an heart attack… If you believe in God, believe also in me….

If you are crying about you are a shame, you have the right to cry about what you did, but you do not have to cry about who you are… Don’t compare yourself to other people…  You are beautiful just the way that you are…

I want to live a life with no shame but I just don’t know how to do it… If you want to live a life without out shame, come to the reality that talking to yourself is alright as long as your are saying the right things..

 

David is talking to his spirit.. put your hope in God.. If we put our hope in God, you can come out of this.. Tell yourself that we have been down long enough.. .To our own self be true… Tell my heart that we are not gong to be sad… We are not gong to keep on crying ab out spilled milk and who left us…

If my heart was going to break, it would have broke a long time ago…

The worst is behind me and the best is yet to come..

You can talk to yourself as long as you are saying the right thing.

Talk to him about the stuff you don’t other folks to talk about… Tell God about the stuff you don’t want to get out…

Don’t give the enemy any ammunition to put i over my head.. I’m praying to God that you don’t let it get out.. Whatever my area of shame lord, I need you to cover me..

Michael Angelo had an area of perspective…   Our Lord and savior and  conquering King was crucified naked  before his mother and  Mary Magdalene…

It was the intention of the Romans to make him feel shame.. They did not know that they were making him come full circle.. In the Garden of Eve, they knew when they ate the forbidden fruit they wee naked…

Everything they tried to strip you of. you still walked out with your dignity….

Many of you have come through a season where you lost so much but you still have your self esteem and dignity..  Somehow through the hand of God, you still have your pride..

It’s getting out, but don’t let me cry in front of them.. .God, I[m not gone beg them for nothing.. God please keep my pride in tact..

He is getting ready to cry…. The enemies are getting ready to cry… Your mean spirited family members are getting ready to cry because they are getting ready to see that they could not break you.. They don’t know what they did helped me…   If it had not been, I would not be where I am today..

 

You should be able to say shamelessness that you are not ashamed of the Gospel.. I know some of us are ashamed of some of the people we have been with, but never be ashamed of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ..

God told me that we are getting ready to set people free… The bonds and ties are getting ready to come off… Those that are glad you came through it with your identity in tact, I’m getting ready to deliver you from your shame..  There are a lot of people who have confused guilt and shame..

Guilt is what you suppose to have once you get saved… Shame is not what you suppose to have once you get saved… Only for what you have done..

The enemy has held a gun to your head, but I want to let you know that the ransom has been paid….  Jesus paid it…. Those that don’t like who you, and cannot face yourself in the mirror… You think you are always suppose to be scratching and not surviving, I need to get the shame off of your.. A lot of us look like we are happy… A lot of people believe what you have has completed you… At the end of the day, you are not happy with yourself…  Today, God is getting ready to take the shame off..

You are going to live past the shame.. You are greater than the divorce, the molestation, the abortion, etc…  Because whom the son set free is free in deed…  Stop acting like you are the rear view mirror when you are the front glass… Come unto me that all ye labor, and I will give you rest…

You make decisions that reflect that you do not care for your life… God has to send you friend’s that would have to act like they are your family…  I’m talking to those that have been struggling all the way back to childhood struggles… There are some that realize that you don’t like yourself the way you are… Marvin Gay says it makes you want to holler and throw up your hands.

Lift up your hands right where you are… The person that hurt you for real,   I don’t know what I would do, or be the bigger person this time… It’s infuriating, when a person do something to you… and you think because you said sorry it was alright… You have to get to the place that you h ave to be happy with yourself…   You don’t need no one to validate you because you know who you are…

Those that have been under attack that did nothing to no one…  You could have been at the top of your class…. Can you imagine what you could have done if your parents believed in you or believed in college…. There is something different about your life… I am not going to pray over you today, but I just need you to get that shame and embarrassment off your chest… Today you are gong to make the devil cry.. You are going to scream one time… This is the yell for the person that hurt you… Lift up your voice like the shame is being lifted….. Your healing is here!

I speak over your life today that you are going to live a life with no regrets!!!!

I pray you will not live another day in shame…  You will never be ashamed of what you look like or where you come from… Because before the foundations of the earth he already knew where you were going to mess up…. But God has your shame covered…

Your joy is here!!!   Everybody embrace three people and say: You are better than your mistakes!!!

Put enough shame on my face until I seek your face…

Homework assignment.. Pray with intentionality over the things your are ashamed of in your life… When someone brings out the dark parts in your life, it will no longer phase you the same because you have gotten passed your dark spots…

People can not make you shame., only if you let them.. DO NOT GIVE PEOPLE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE YOU FEEL SHAME!

Give your life to God so you can live a life without shame…

There is no shame in getting it right with God…

How many of us are glad God rescued you from where you were at.. God looked beyond your faults and recognized your needs!
