Delivered by Bishop Joseph W. Walker, III

Sermon Synopsis 8.31. 25

Opening Prayer

Yes, Lord. So, God, we thank You. Speak to us—our spirits are open to receive it now. We will be changed because of what we’re about to hear, and we give You glory and praise today. We will never forget how Your Word met us right where we were and moved us to where You would have us to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Scripture Reading

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV) – Seeing the Invisible

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

I.               Introduction

Look at somebody real quick and tell them: “There’s no quit in you.”

There comes a time in all of our lives—no matter our title or Christian tenure—when we want to throw in the towel and say, “I’m done.” This is when the weight of life, the heaviness of the assignments we carry, and the exhaustion of walking toward God’s promises become too much.

Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4 that even though hardship and setbacks are real, there is still an assignment over your life. What you do is not the sum total of who you are—it’s simply the platform God uses to reveal your purpose.

The enemy is not just after you; he’s after what God wants to accomplish through you. That’s why he tried to kill Moses as a child, and why Herod tried to kill Jesus at His birth. It wasn’t about them—it was about their destiny. Likewise, the enemy comes after you because he senses the extraordinary thing God wants to do in and through your life.

And let’s be honest—the weight of carrying that assignment can get heavy. Sometimes you’ve said, “Lord, I can’t carry this anymore.” Sometimes you’ve prayed, “Lord, come get Your people.” For some, the weight gets so real that you’ve even thought, “Maybe it would be easier if I didn’t wake up tomorrow.”

But look at you—you’re still here. You’re still standing. You’re still breathing. You’re still in the fight, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!

Even when you’ve felt like quitting, God whispered: “There’s no quit in you.”

Paul wrote this letter to a church under pressure—surrounded by Greco-Roman culture that glorified strength and shamed weakness. Corinth was filled with trade, philosophy, and immorality. False teachers—so-called “super-apostles”—mocked Paul’s weakness and promoted a success-driven gospel.

But Paul, battered and worn down in body, declared: “Do not lose heart.” He pointed them to a crown not of olive leaves, but eternal glory. Against a culture obsessed with strength and victory, Paul said: “Even though the outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed day by day.”

II.               Remain Determined to Persevere

Somebody shout: “Persevere!”

Paul says, “Do not lose heart.” That is a declaration of endurance. The enemy’s goal is to wear you down until you quit—physically, emotionally, spiritually.

But perseverance is in your DNA. Your ancestors endured chains that were meant to break them, sang songs of freedom in the fields, prayed in hush harbors, marched when dogs and hoses were turned against them, built businesses from scraps, and raised families with nothing but faith.

And you—you’ve survived heartbreak, layoffs, sickness, betrayal. Perseverance is in your bloodline. There’s no quit in you.

 

A.    Perseverance Produces Purpose

  1. James 1:3 says the testing of your faith produces endurance. Trials aren’t wasted—they build you up for the next level. Without struggle, there is no growth. Without resistance, there is no strength.

B.    Endurance Expands Capacity

  1. Endurance is not just about surviving pain—it increases your future capacity. Athletes know this well. Marathoners and sprinters push past fatigue, and their bodies adapt to become stronger under stress.
    1. The same is true spiritually. You’re praying for God to give you more, but He must first prepare you for it. Endurance stretches you for greater capacity.
    2. Think about Noah Lyles, the Olympic sprinter. In Paris 2024, even with COVID symptoms and asthma, he chose to compete—and still won bronze. After collapsing on the track, he showed the world that victory is in his blood.
  2. Likewise, you have victory in your bloodline. The struggle you’re facing is not breaking you—it’s building you.

III.               Remain Dependent Upon His Power

Paul says, “Though the outward man is perishing, the inward man is renewed day by day.”

At some point, you will come to the end of yourself—when money runs out, when friends walk away, when your strength is gone. But when you come to the end of yourself, you meet the beginning of God.

A.    Strength Comes from Surrender

Isaiah 40:31 says those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

  1. Waiting is not inactivity—it’s trusting God over your own ability. Sometimes you must admit: “I’m not OK.” That’s not weakness—it’s surrender.

B.    Grace Is Sufficient in Weakness

  1. Paul testifies: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God’s grace is what sustains you when you have nothing left.

IV.               Remember You Are Being Developed in the Process

Paul calls it “light affliction.” But let’s be real—it doesn’t feel light. Yet, what was heavy five years ago feels lighter now because God used it to build you.

A.    What You Went Through Prepared You for Now

  1. Your past pain became training ground for your present strength.

B.    You Are Built to Outlast What’s Trying to Outlast You

  1. Trouble is temporary, but the enemy tries to convince you it’s permanent. Don’t give your trouble tenure. Don’t live as a permanent victim.
  2. Stop rehearsing defeat. Stop using the pandemic—or any past event—as an excuse. If God could rebuild after Katrina, He can rebuild your life too.
  3. So don’t lose your focus. Don’t stop being faithful. Don’t lose your fight.

V.               Rejoice in a Divine Perspective

It’s all about perspective. Paul says don’t look at the things which are seen but at the things unseen.

A.    Vision Is Greater than Visibility

  1. God gives you revelation long before manifestation. That’s why people may think you’re crazy when you’re shouting over something they can’t see yet. But you know what God showed you.
  2. Some people only shout at manifestation. But vision-shouters rejoice early. Which one are you?

Closing Appeal

Somebody here today needs a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Somebody else needs to rededicate their life. Maybe you need a church home, or maybe you just need prayer. Whatever it is—don’t leave without saying yes to God.

You’ve Got This

Posted on August 15, 2025 by growintheword

 

Sermon Synopsis 8.10.25

Delivered by Bishop Joseph W. Walker, III

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: John 16:33 (NKJV)

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

I.               INTRODUCTION

  1. Ever thought about giving up? Sometimes the world feels too heavy to bear.

Sometimes our wounds come from people we trusted.

You may remember a diagnosis that shook your faith…

Or the hidden wounds — words spoken over your life that still hurt today.

  • Joseph was wounded by his brothers’ betrayal.
  • David was wounded by King Saul’s rejection.

In moments like these, we must decide whether to move forward with the assignment God has called us to — or quit!

  1. The enemy’s goal is to keep God’s promises from coming to pass.

Many of us have a long list of things that hurt us… but we keep showing up anyway.

In this discourse, Jesus says, “Let not your heart be troubled.” He makes it clear we will have trouble in this life, but He also leaves us His peace — something money can’t buy.

  1. We must make a decision: Either we quit, or we pick ourselves up and keep going, willing to accomplish God’s call despite our wounds.

II.               WITNESS THE WISDOM IN YOUR WOUNDS

Everything that happens in your life — God doesn’t waste it.

We must press forward and ask God, “What are You trying to reveal in this?”

A wound is more than something you survive — it shapes where God is taking you.

A.  See Your Struggles as Opportunities for Spiritual Growth

  1. Just as gold is refined by fire, faith is refined by tests.
  2. God doesn’t promote based on time served — He promotes when we pass the test.

Romans 5:3–4 (NKJV)

3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.

  1. Think about what you’ve been through — and what it’s produced in your life.
    1. An artist once created a masterpiece from broken glass. Someone asked why he didn’t use only whole pieces. He replied, “The broken glass brings more light into the artwork.”
    2. God’s glory shines best through our broken places.

B.  Understand That God Uses Pain to Refine and Strengthen You

James 1:2–4 (NKJV)

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

  1. We must shift our mindset — anything worth having requires resistance.
  2. Embrace resistance as part of your strengthening process.
  3. God refines us through pain. What once made you cry can now make you praise.

III.               WORK THROUGH YOUR WEARINESS

Jesus knew we would face exhaustion. Sometimes it’s not the job — it’s the people.

He knew there would be seasons when we’d want to throw in the towel.

A.  Choose to Keep Going Despite Feeling Depleted

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

B.  Allow God’s Strength to Sustain You When Your Own Strength Fails

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV)

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

  1. It’s okay to admit your weakness to God.
  2. When you’re spiritually drained, it’s not time to give up — it’s time to plug into Jesus.
    1. Remember, a phone can’t charge from just any charger. Only what’s designed to fit can recharge it. Likewise, everyone can’t recharge you — but God can.

IV.               WIELD YOUR WOUNDS AS WEAPONS

What happened didn’t happen to you — it happened for you.

Jesus knew He was about to be crucified. The cross shows us that what was meant to destroy you can be used to deliver others.

Three truths about your wounds:

  1. You were strengthened by it.
  2. You got a story out of it.
  3. You survived it.

A.  Share Your Story of Survival and Hope to Encourage Others

  1. Your testimony has power.

Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

  1. You don’t need to be able to quote every verse — just tell your story. Authenticity wins

B.   Use Your Wounds as Proof of God’s Sustaining Grace

  1. Your wounds are proof you made it.
  2. When people see your scars, let them also see God’s work.

V.               WAIT FOR THE WONDER OF HIS WILL

Jesus puts us in a posture of expectation.

We live in an instant-gratification culture — but some things take time.

The reason you will overcome is so you can be alive when God’s promise arrives.

A.  Rest in God’s Peace That Surpasses All Understanding

Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

B.  Believe That God’s Will Shall Come to Pass

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

  1. Every experience comes down to this:
  2. Have the Right Perspective – The closer you are to your breakthrough, the more the enemy will attack.
  3. Have Peace Within It – Often, the deepest pain comes right before the blessing — yet God gives peace in the middle of it.
  4. Have a Praise to Put On It – Don’t let it break your mind. Expect victory because He has already overcome.
  5. Trouble may squeeze you like toothpaste, but what comes out reveals what’s inside.

Use the Rock You’ve Got

Posted on August 8, 2025 by growintheword

Sermon Synopsis 8.3.25
Delivered by Bishop Walker

1 Samuel 17:45-51

New International Version

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

I.            Introduction

Today I want to talk to you from the subject: “Use the Rock You’ve Got.”

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when you’re faced with a challenge that exceeds your strength, your network, even your understanding. It’s in those moments the enemy tries to convince you: You’re not enough.

That’s when fear creeps in and whispers in your ear, leaning on your insecurities, telling you that “You don’t have what it takes”.

But I came today to tell you succinctly, You’ve got this! Not because of what you have in the natural—but because of what God has given you in the Spirit.

What God started in you, He will perform until the day of Jesus Christ.

The story of David and Goliath reminds us that God specializes in using small things to accomplish what seems impossible.

Yes, David slayed Goliath—but this is also the story of a king being released. David was in divine alignment with the assignment God had on his life. He stepped onto the battlefield when others were afraid to face it.

He didn’t step up with bravado. He stepped up with belief.
This wasn’t just about defeating a giant. It was about God revealing His power through someone who dared to believe.

So whatever you’re facing—whatever giant you brought here today, whether it be:

  • A health crisis?
  • Financial pressure?
  • Relational challenges?
  • Spiritual warfare?

Know That giant is about to fall!

It will fall, because God will show you that you already have everything you need.

You just need to learn how to use the rock you’ve got!

Before we dive into the battle, let’s understand the historical and cultural context that gives this moment its full weight.

Israel was in transition. They had been ruled by judges—temporary leaders raised up by God during times of national crisis. But the people grew weary and cried out for a king.

God warned them: It’s not time yet. But they pressed. So, through His permissive will, God allowed them to choose.

They chose Saul—tall, handsome, strong—but lacking obedience and spiritual maturity. His disobedience caused God to reject him. And while Saul was still on the throne, God was preparing David.

David—Was the youngest of eight. Jesse’s son. From Bethlehem. His brothers were in the military, but David was tending sheep in obscurity.
David had already been anointed by the prophet Samuel—but in secret.

See, God will anoint you in one season and release you in another.
Don’t get frustrated just because you’re not being used yet. It may not be time yet.
You don’t need the title to be anointed.
You don’t need the position to be powerful.

David brought his brothers food—he wasn’t on the battlefield, he was serving on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, the Philistines—the coastal enemies of Israel—stood in opposition.
They were polytheistic, technologically advanced, and persistent in their resistance. They had five major cities:
Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, Gaza, and Gath.
Gath—the place Goliath was from.

Goliath wasn’t just a man—he was a trained warrior.

  • Nine feet tall.
  • Head-to-toe armor.
  • A spear like a weaver’s beam.

And standing before him?

  • A 4-foot-5 shepherd boy.
  • No armor.
  • No sword.
  • Just a sling.
  • And five smooth stones.

But David came not with fear, but with faith.
Goliath mocked him. But David declared: “You come to me with sword and spear—but I come to you in the name of the Lord Almighty!”

II.            Recognize the Resources You’ve Received

God will never send you into battle without giving you what you need.

Those smooth stones may not have looked like much—but they were enough in God’s hands.

We often underestimate the power of what God has given us because it doesn’t look like what others have. But what you carry may be unconventional—and still exactly what’s needed for victory.

A.   Acknowledge That God Has Equipped You

Every hidden battle, every private victory—was God preparing you.
David’s battles in the pasture with lions and bears? That was training ground.
In other words, your private pain was public preparation.

B.   Understand That What You Have Is Enough

When you place what you have in God’s hands, miracles happen.
The slingshot may look common—but in God’s hands, it becomes catalytic.

David didn’t just see stones—he saw victory.
When you release what you’ve got, Heaven backs you up.

III.            Rely on the Rock’s Reliability

David didn’t place his confidence in his aim—he placed it in God. He said “I come to you in the name of the Lord Almighty.” That changed the whole battle.

Goliath thought he was facing a boy, the was facing a believer.

Touch your neighbor and tell them: You can’t treat me any kind of way — I’m a believer!

When you use the rock you’ve got, you can say: “You may come to me with sickness, with slander, with shame—but I come to you in the name of the Most High God!”

A.   Trust That God’s Strength Is Unshakable

I know what it’s like to say, Why me, Lord?
Why the eighth son? Why the one that’s been overlooked the whole time (David)?

The answer is, because God knew: You were the one who wouldn’t flinch.
You’re tired—but God says: Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God never grows weary.

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength!

B.   Remember: The Rock Will Never Fail

Psalm 18:2—“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.”

When everything shakes—God is still solid.
The rock you stand on is stronger than the giants you face.

IV.            Refuse to Retreat from Resistance

Goliath moved forward, but David didn’t flinch.

Everyone else stayed back, David stepped forward.

Battle lines are drawn to expose what’s in you.

Saul had the title—but David had the anointing.
And only the anointed cross battle lines.

A.   Stand Firm with Unwavering Confidence

This isn’t arrogance—it’s divine assurance.

Faith is not the absence of fear—it’s obedience in the face of fear.

B.   Don’t Let Fear Dictate Your Actions

Fear will paralyze you at the runway of destiny.

But I hear the Spirit saying: “Oh no, I’ve flown through worse.”
And if God brought you to it, He’s equipped to fly you through it.

V.            Rejoice in the Results of Your Resolve

Now here it is—David used one rock. He didn’t need all five.
He took what looked small and released it with faith.

And Goliath—fully armored—had one weak spot: his forehead and the rock found it.
Because the power wasn’t in the stone—it was in the Spirit behind it.

David then used Goliath’s own sword—just like he prophesied—to cut off his head.

Don’t shout over knocked-down giants still breathing.

In this season, it’s not just about knockdowns—it’s about cutoffs.

  • Cut off fear.
  • Cut off shame.
  • Cut off toxic relationships.
  • Cut off everything that says you’re not enough.

A.   Acknowledge God’s Faithfulness in the Fight

David stood over Goliath—foot on his neck.

That 9-foot-tall giant was now under the feet of the shepherd boy, not because of David’s strength, but because of God’s rock.

Closing Charge

Stand up. Grab somebody by the hand.
Tell them: You didn’t realize—you’re number 8!

Rejected by man—but chosen by God.

Tell them: “Use the rock you’ve got!”

And give God a praise like every giant in your life is already falling!

Strategies for Receiving More

Posted on July 31, 2025 by growintheword

Sermon Synopsis 7.27.25

Delivered by Bishop Craig Oliver

Let’s go to Joshua 17:14–18, where we find a powerful conversation between the people of Joseph and Joshua:

Joshua 17:14-18 (NKJV)

14 Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?”

15 So Joshua answered them, “If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”

16 But the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are of the Valley of Jezreel.”

17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot, 18 but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

I.                      Introduction

  • I want to share with you what God has placed on my heart concerning what He’s doing in the life of this church—and what He wants to do in your life as well.
  • Let me help connect some spiritual dots between what God is doing corporately in Mount Zion and what God wants to do personally in your life. Because Mount Zion is not just a multisite church—it is a movement. It is a model of multiplication.
  • Look around—God has expanded our reach, increased our campuses, and just recently gave us a historical landmark here in Nashville. That’s expansion! That’s divine elevation. And I think you ought to give God praise for that!
  • But this is more than real estate—it’s revelation. What God is doing corporately, He also wants to do individually. Somebody shout, “MORE!”
  • The same principle that’s fueling this church’s expansion is the same principle that God wants to apply to your life—your marriage, your ministry, your business, your finances, and even your walk with Him.
  • We don’t serve a stingy God. He is a God of abundance, of increase, and of more.
  • But here’s the tension: Do you believe that what you currently have is all God wants to do in your life? Or are you willing to believe Him for more?
  • It would be a shame to be connected to a multisite grace and still live with a single-site mentality.
  • Say that again—multisite grace with a single-site mindset. How can you be part of a church that’s taking territory—and you stay stuck?
  • God wants more for your life too.

II.                  Proactively Eliminate the Disposition of Entitlement

14 Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?”

  • Look at verse 14. The people of Joseph come to Joshua and said, “The hill country is not enough for us.”
  • Now they weren’t wrong in saying that what they had wasn’t enough—but here’s the issue: They approached it with entitlement.
  • They didn’t say, “Joshua, thank you for what you’ve given us, but we’ve outgrown it. May we have more?” Instead, they said, “This isn’t enough!”
  • The spirit of entitlement will rob you of expansion. You can’t expect more when you aren’t grateful for what you already have.
  • Some of us suffer from CED—Chronic Entitlement Disease. I’m talking to some parents—you’re thinking about your kids right now! They think everything belongs to them. They don’t say thank you, and they don’t think they should work for anything.
  • I was raised in the ’70s. You didn’t just go in the kitchen and just take what you wanted. You had to ask, “Mama, can I…?” Anybody else grow up like that?
  • We’re raising a generation that wants inheritance with no initiative. Rewards without responsibility. Blessings without burden.

III.              Properly Estimate Your Dynamic Endowment

17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot, 18 but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

  • Verse 17 says Joshua reminds them, “You are a great people—and you have great power.” He calls out what’s already in them.
  • He tells them, “You’re not deficient—you’re disengaged. If you want more, you need to reintroduce yourself to yourself”. Some of us have spiritual amnesia. We’ve forgotten who we are and what God has placed inside of us.
  • You’ve been endowed with gifts, purpose, power, authority, the fruit of the Spirit, and the mind of Christ!
  • Stop underestimating your endowment. When you do, you mismanage your opportunities.
  • You are blessed, not just a beggar.

IV.             Purposefully Evaluate Your Designated Environment

18 but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours;

  • Verse 18 says “The hill country shall be yours, although it is a forest…”
  • Did you catch that? You’ve been asking for more—but can you see it through the trees?
  • God said, “It’s yours, but you’ve got to clear the forest.” You want a developed blessing—but God gave you undeveloped potential. You want a finished product—but God handed you raw material.
  • You’re praying for elevation, but don’t want to chop down any trees. Let me make it plain: You don’t want to do the work
  • Some of you want the grill that’s already assembled—but it costs more. The one in the box? That’s cheaper, but it requires assembly.
  • You want the blessing on the floor, but you don’t want the blessing in the box.

V.                 Persistently Eradicate Your Detrimental Enchantments

18b says… for you shall drive out the Canaanites

  • Joshua told them: “Drive out the Canaanites.”
  • Let me introduce you to a few modern-day “ites”:
  • Complacency – You’re stuck, not because you’re cursed, but because you’re comfortable. You won’t read. You won’t grow. You’re just…lazy.
  • Compromise – You’ve traded conviction for convenience. You’ve sacrificed principles for preferences.
  • Comparison – You can’t appreciate your life because you’re always scrolling through someone else’s highlight reel. It’s a filter! It’s not even real.
  • Control – You’ve got a messiah complex. You want to be God. You won’t surrender.
  • Carnality – You’re led by your flesh, not the Spirit. You’re chasing feelings instead of following faith.

VI.             Prophetically Elevate Your Divine Entrustment

18c says though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

  • He said, “I’m giving you the Hill Country.” This is not just expansion, it is elevation.
  • But here’s the order:
  • Climb it
  • Clear it
  • Claim it
  • You’ve moved from entitlement to entrustment.
  • This isn’t just about you. It’s about those coming after you. You said you were a numerous people—well, your blessing must be big enough for generations!
  • Legacy is on the line. You are not just receiving more for your enjoyment. You’re receiving more for your assignment.
  • What God is doing in this church… He wants to do in your life. But don’t sit back naming it and claiming it—go get an axe. Be willing to work for it.

Mount Zion, I love you. I pray this word will inspire you to believe again, to work again, and to expect MORE.

God bless you!
