Trust In God When You Are Afraid |Inspirational Video
I guess because I’ve been doing a lot of
things on leadership I’ve been trying to
figure out our leaders born or made do
they just come here exceptional or do
they become exceptional through the
things they learn or suffer and I
started looking at to lead the the
greatest pastor leader of the Old
Testament who really messed up I mean if
I was God and I was gonna choose
somebody to address case and leave
millions of people out of bondage to
negotiate deliverance I would have never
picked Moses and the time Moses got the
sentence out should have been our old
person this is not his speech impediment
that is the most disturbing they say the
formative years of a childhood first few
years of their life is the most
important years they say everything
matters write down the plane classical
music while you’re pregnant they say it
all affects the IQ and the intellect the
colors in the room the way you talk to
babies by that standard Moses would
never be a great leader Moses was hidden
under the sink in the dark and the
shadows wrapped in blankets on the hit
lists about to be destroyed his mama was
hiding him under suitcases of mags and
luggages somewhere he was hidden he was
hidden as a baby his identity was hidden
his greatness was hidden
his destiny was hidden its purpose was
hidden it wasn’t like he was bounced
around and played with love with it and
nurtured in a normal normal
yeah let’s deal with that normal he
spent his early months hidden in the
house and then his mama put him in a
basket in the river with snakes and
alligators and crocodiles by himself to
float down the river he was abandoned he
was hidden he was abandoned he was
adopted
he was an Egyptian by situation but he
ruled by birth as confusing what
language what culture what God what
religion what ceremonies would cleanse
it he was a montage of so many different
things he was like a mud his name Moses
means to be drawn out and I think that
when greatness is deciding friends to be
drawn out some people’s greatness is
drawn out by being exposed to other
great people in there and they see
greatness and other people and it draws
out the greatness that exists inside of
them some people’s greatness is drawn
out by challenges at first if they don’t
even know they’re great and
the Bible says that when the lion roared
the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson
sometimes it is they attack the drops of
greatness honey you don’t even know your
ring to the lion roars till all hell
breaks loose until everybody faints and
you decide something’s gotta be done
sometimes it is so troubling you avoid
that God is using to draw the greatness
out of your life why would you make
Moses a leader he was a failure it was a
confused failure who tried to take
matters into his own hands and ended up
murdering a man and had to run out of
his own house he leaves Egypt of refugee
on the run a criminal on the hit list of
the king he leaves Egypt in a mess and
tries to make a new life for himself
he hooks up with the Midianites a little
group of people who didn’t even know who
he was they thought it was an Egyptian
he was a Hebrew sometimes you hook up
with people who think you are something
that you are not and if they knew who
you really were
they might not would let you in but the
reason it’s easy to deceive them is
because you’re not sure who you are
either it’s not that you’re evil or
wicked it’s just that you’re confused
and vulnerable and susceptible and when
you don’t know who you are I guess I
become whatever you call me like Jacob
who became what they call him his name
the trickster con artists scammer every
time they come in those camera gives you
some breakfast
come on scammer it’s time to go to bed
people can pronounce things over you
when you were a child that you live up
to and until he has an encounter with
God he that no way God tells him who his
name is your name is not Jacob your name
is Israel for you are prince a prince
who’s a thief or the truck and a light
yes it hasn’t been drawn out there are
some things that God has in you that has
not been thrown out 20 years in ministry
and I still got things in me that have
yet to be drawn out that’s why I woke up
this morning and I didn’t wake up there
coz it was another day
to give me a chance to draw it out if
you stick with me you gonna see new
sides to me that you never saw before
cuz I’m still coming in tomorrow at the
time we find noses from the backside of
the desert
we now he’s over 40 we know he’s over 40
cuz he spent 40 years in Egypt but 40
years on the backside of the desert he
was 80 when he finally got it together
don’t you sit there look all funny
because you sit about 61 years old and
crazy as a drug bed bug love you who
feel like you got it together I got a
flash for you it takes a long time to
figure life out give yourself some time
stop trying to be too smart too fast it
takes a while to come into your own it
takes a while to grow out who you are
God in a burning bush appears I’m the
Moses and tell him to take off his shoes
at the ground and stand on his holy
ground
and that nearly 80 years old God and
false
it’s destiny ain’t that amazing now this
is easy for me to preach more so now at
58 then it was at 28 because I’m old
enough now to realize that it’s gonna
take longer than I thought
at 28 that there are still areas in my
life that me and God have to sit down
and talk about that I am still being
father but some folks with some gray
hair that still do some dumb stuff and
God is still bothering you to back me up
on this boy I’m smarter than I used to
be and wiser did I used to be
I’m brighter than I’ve ever been but I
haven’t mastered it yet I’m still
working on it even right now every night
man I relapse and go back to thinking
like I used to think or feeling like I
used to feel he’s not finished
and in essence God has given this huge
assignment to go and tell Pharaoh to let
my people go
and he gave me assignment to somebody
who was running and had
and he gave it to somebody who was still
confused and vulnerable and insecure and
intimidated and he gave it to sort out
yet God gave a big assignment to a guy
who was so small so if you feeling small
inside it doesn’t mean that you don’t
have a great call look at this look at
this with me I’m gonna read a few
scriptures Exodus small one through six
and it says the Moses answered and said
but behold they will not believe me nor
hearken to my voice for they will say
the LORD hath not appeared on the eighth
day and the Lord said unto him what is
in your hand and he said a rock and he
said cast it on the ground he cast it on
the ground it became a serpent and Moses
started running see when you start
running from one thing you gonna keep
running from everything that’s why you
need to stop running and pray for
whatever you gotta face and deal with
whatever you got to deal with cuz if you
run from Favell you gonna run from the
serpent you run run run where are you
will stop running my oldest you’ll never
be Moses if you keep running from stuff
that scares you low this you’ll never be
great if you keep running from things
that scare you you’re running from
something that God gave you and the Lord
said unto Moses put forth thine hand and
take it by the tail put forth night I
was so scared I’m running and you want
me to grab not not visualize this how
many you want to grab a snake by the
tail
God can call you to grab stuff you’re
scared of oh my god
and he put forth his hand and caught it
and it became a rod in his hand that day
may believe that the Lord God of their
fathers the God of Abraham the god of
Isaac the God of Jacob has appeared
under them I want to go back for a
minute and process what we heard God I
would do it but they will not believe me
was it really that they would not
believe or is he imposing on them
something that’s really coming from him
whatever you’ve been saying about they
might really be you they won’t accept me
they won’t love me they won’t accept me
they can’t use me
they’ll never in bravery you’ll never
get anybody to embrace you till you
embrace yourself you’ll never get
anybody to believe in you till you
believe in yourself you’ll never get
anybody to love you till you love
yourself your way might be you in
disguise
