After This Manner The Night Before Herod

Was Going To Bring Him

Out To The People Peter Was Sleeping

Between Two Guards He Was Tied

With Two Chains And There Were Guards On

Duty

At The Prison Gate Suddenly

An Angel Of The Lord Stood There

And The Light Shone In The Cell

Angel Shook Peter By The Shoulder Woke

Him Up And Said

Hurry Up Get Up And Once

The Chains Fell Off Peter’s Hands

He Woke Him Up And At Once The Chains

Fell Off Of His Hands

Then The Angel Said Fasten Your Belt

And Put On Your Sandals Peter Did So And

The Angel Said

Put Your Cloak Round About You And Come

With Me

Peter Followed Him Out Of The Prison

Not Knowing However

If What The Angel Was Doing Was Real

He Thought

He Thought He Was Seeing A Vision

They Passed By The First Guard Post And

Then The Second

And Came At Last To The Iron Gate

Leading Into The City

The Gate Opened For Them By Itself

And They Went Out They

Walked Down A Street

And Suddenly The Angel Left Peter

Then Peter Realized What Had Happened To

Him

Then Peter Realized Then

Peter Realized What Had Happened

To Him And Said Now I Know That It Is

Really True The Lord

Sent His Angel To Rescue Me From Herod’s

Power And

From Everything The Jewish People

Expected To Happen

Can You Say Amen Then

Peter Recognized Then

Peter Realized What Had Happened To Him

I I Want To Use A Subject

Give Us An Awakening

I Started To Just Use What The Young

People Use And Just Say

Woke Are You Woke

Give Us An Awakening Spirit Of The

Living God Fall Fresh On Us Right Now

As We Embark Upon This Mission

To Establish The Truth Of God Through

The Text

That The Truth Of God Might Pierce

Through The Text

In Such A Fashion That It Becomes Rhema

Cut To The Continuity Of Where We Are

Right Now And What’s Going On In Our

Individual And Collective Lives

[music]

And Thereby We Might Gain A Deeper

Richer Fuller

So I’m Not Afraid To Thank You Now You

Can Do It Later

In Jesus Name Somebody Shout Amen

On Your Way To Your Seat Just Say

Awakening Awakening Awakening

Yeah I Need An Awakening I Need An

Awakening I Need An Awakening

We Are In The 12th Chapter

Of The Book Of Acts

That Means That The Church As We Know It

Today

Does Not Exist It Is In The

Embryonic Stages Of Its Development

It Is Not Seen As A Massive Global

Movement As It Is Now

It Is Not Seen As A Collection

Of Denominations And Philosophical

Ideologies

That Embrace A Particular Theology That

Causes Us To Have

A Certain Degree Of Continuity In The

Midst Of Our Distinctives

No No The Church Is So Small

And So My Newt Compared To The Other

Religions Of Its Time

It Is Debatable In The Circles Where It

Is Mentioned

That It Could Be Considered Almost

Occult

Only A Handful Of People Even Knew What

It Was

In Fact It Was A While Before They Even

Had A Name For It

They Called It The Way Then They Called

Them Believers

And At Antioch They Called Them

Christians And It Wasn’t Always Meant In

The Nicest Way

But That Was The Term That They Put On

Them To Call Them

Christians So Those Crazy

Christians And Though

It Was Small We Must Not Diminish The

Fact

Or Trivialize Its Ability Or Its Potency

Because

God Was In It And You Must Understand

That God

Gets In Small Stuff That God Gives Him

Controversial Stuff That God Gets

And Looms Large In Small Places

And Just Because Other People Minimize

You Does Not Mean

That God’s Presence Is Not Available In

Your Life

You Have To Know That He That Has Began

A Good Work In You

Shall Perform It Until The Day Of Jesus

Christ And Not So

Desperately Clamor For The Accolades Of

People

In Order To Affirm What God Has Spoken

To You

You’ve Got To Know That It’s God Whether

People

Call It God Or Not

You’ve Got To Understand Who You Are

While They’re Trying To Figure Out Who

You Are Because The Truth Of The Matter

Is

By The Time People Really Understand You

You Might Be Dead

So If You Need Their Affirmation Before

You Can Progress

You May Be A Lonesome Soul All Of Your

Life

Waiting For The Accolades Of Men Who Are

Confused About What To Call You

You See The Church Exists Inside Of Two

Different Sociological Constructs At The

Time

While It Is Not Of The World It Is In

The World

And The Fact That It Is In The World

Means It Is Affected

By The World We Cannot Claim Autonomy

From The In The Church To The Degree

That We Completely Ignore What’s Going

On In The World Because

What’s Going On In The World Affects The

Church

It’s Not Just That The Church Affects

The World The World Also Affects The

Church

Such Were The Times From The Earliest Of

Stages And Even To Now

It Is Arguable Which One Affects The

Other The Most

Because We Are Affected By The

Environment In Which We Are Planted

Just Like A Seed Is Affected By The Soil

It Is Placed In And The Seed Affects The

Soil

In Like Manner The Church Is In The

World And Yet Not Of The World

And Yet It Is Affected By The World And

Yet It Has

An Effect On The World Did You Get That

All Right Stay With Me Because I’m I’m

Going Down Into The Deep Of The Water

And I Want You To Be Able To Go With Me

We Are Seeing The Church At A Time That

It Is

Born Out Of The Scars And The Scrapes

And The Oppression Of A Suppressed

People

Called Jews Who Are Being Suppressed In

Their Own Land

They Have Not Traveled By Boats Into A

Far Country

To Be Suppressed And To Be Oppressed

They Are Being Oppressed In Their Own

House

Can You Imagine Somebody Taking You

Captive In Your Own House

Rome Has Come Into Israel’s House

And Taken Them Captive In Their Own

Community

And Subjugated Them And Caused Him To

Submit To

The Sovereign Powers Of A Political

System

That Is Enforced And Impels On A Jewish

Community

And Out Of That Jewish Community The

Church

Is A Sect Of That Community

So You Have Roamed The Sovereign Power

Dominating The Jewish Community Or

Israel As If They Were Trying To

Set Up A A A A An

An Offshoot Of Their Roman Empire

And Then Inside Of That Offshoot Which

Is Israel

Is A Religious Sect Called The Church

And Peter Is Ministering To The Church

Hoping To Affect The Nation

And Ultimately The World But He Is

Fighting At A Complete Disadvantage

He Is Not Fighting As If He Were The

Emperor Of The Roman Empire

With All The Support Of Power And

Influence No

He Is A Subcategory

Of A Sect Of People That Are Basically

Ignored Not Only By The Romans But By

The Jews

That’s Why The Text Is Careful To Talk

About

Him Overcoming Not Only The Oppression

That Herod Had Placed On Him But The

Expectation Of The Jews

In Other Words He Was Ministering To A

People

Who Were Not Interested In His Message

Have You Ever Tried To Help Somebody

Who Didn’t Want Your Help And There You

Were

Fighting Off Their Enemies And They

Didn’t Even Appreciate You For What You

Had To Bring

I Wish I Had A Witness Somebody Have You

Ever Tried To Save Somebody And The

Person You Was Trying To Say Was Trying

To Kill You

And You Were Trying To Fight Off Devils

You Didn’t Even Have To Fight

That Is The Situation For Peter

He Has Attracted The Hatred

And The Acrimonious Disposition Of Herod

Only Because He Seeks To Serve The Jews

Of Which Herod Is Not Even A Part

But Herod Is Interested In The Roman

Empire

And The Roman Empire Is Interested In

Dominating

The Jews And So What Goes On With The

Jews Concerns The Romans And They Have

No

Tolerance For The Jews One Way Or The

Other And Now This Little Group

Is Causing An Upheaval And It Has Gotten

All The Way To The Ears Of Caesar

For Which Herod Is A Subordinate And

Herod Is Trying To Prove

To Caesar That I Can Handle This Problem

So

That He Will Get Out Of This Dismal Post

Over In Israel And Go Back And Get A

Better Assignment

In Rome Where His Family And His Life

And The Power And The Seat Of Their

Government Exist It Is In That

Environment That We Step Into This Text

You Must Understand The Peripheral Or

You Won’t Appreciate The Predicament

Herod Has Arrested

Peter This Is Not A Bunch Of Jewish

Priests That Have Taken Him

Into Captivity This Is A Sovereign Power

This Is A Government Attack

And The Powers That Be Have Arrested

Peter

And Taken Him Hostage And Assigned

16 Soldiers

To One Man For An

Overnight Stay You Know

You’re Important By The Level Of The

Attack

That Is Leveled Against You The Enemy

Would Be Assigning So Many Demons To You

If You Weren’t Significant In The

Kingdom Of God

16 Roman Soldiers

Is A Lot To Have Surrounding One

Individual I Don’t Know That They Used

16 Soldiers

To Arrest Jesus

And Yet Peter Finds Himself

So Significant That He Is Attacked And

Guarded By

16 Soldiers

Perhaps It Is Because Peter Has A

Reputation

As A Disciple Peter Is An Outspoken

Disciple Peter Is A Radical Disciple

Peter Is The Kind Of Disciple That Will

Stand Up On The Boat In The Middle Of A

Storm

And Say Hey Jesus If Lest You Bid Me To

Come

Peter Was Not A Passive Lackadaisical

Johnny Come Lately Saw The Disciple If

Peter Was On The Boat

He Was Gonna Make Some Noise If

Something Was Going On On The Boat Peter

Was Going To Make Some Noise

Even If He Had To Jump Off The Boat

Naked And Swim

To Jesus On The Piece Peter Was Radical

I’m Talking About Water Walking Peter

I’m Talking About The Peter Who Reached

To His Side

And Pulled His Sword And Cut Off The

Ear But Not Of A Jew But Of A

Roman Soldier

Peter Was Bad He Didn’t

Take Any Stuff He Was Radical

He Would Set It Off

That’s What He Used To Do That’s What He

Used To Do

That’s What He Used To Do That’s How He

Used To Work It

He Had A Reputation They Assigned 16

Soldiers To Control Him Because Peter

Was Bad

His Reputation Was Bad But His

Reputation

I Must Confess Is Seen In The Light Of

The Fact

That He Has Always Functioned In The

Midst Of His Comrades

Every Time We See Peter Cutting Off Ears

Or Walking On Waters

He’s Surrounded By Other Believers

But Not Now Not Anymore

He Is No Longer Surrounded By The Crowds

Because You Draw

A Certain Amount Of Energy From The

Crowd

The Crowd Is Gone It Is Dissipated In

Fact The Crowd

Has Gone And Shut Up In A In A Woman’s

House Named Mary

And They Are Praying For Him Because

They Figure Like Simon Peter’s Probably

Next To Be Beheaded

In The Morning And It Is The Night

Before The Trial

And Peter Is Alone You Know You Can Be

Mighty

At Doing What You Do But You Still Got

To Deal With Your Devils When You’re

Alone

[laughter]

In The Crowd In The Right Environment

You’re Tough And You’re Strong

And You’re Rambunctious But When You Go

Home

And You Take Off Your Makeup And You Get

Out Your Clothes

And Put Your Hair On The Stand

You Come Down To The Real You Real Faith

Always Strips You Of All Of The

Mechanisms That Make You Seem Mighty

And Bring You Down To Your Lowest Common

Denominator And The Enemy Wants To Know

How You Like Me Now Who Are You Now

It’s Not Who You Are On The Stage

It’s Not Who You Are When You’re Doing

What You Do Like You Do When You Do It

The Real Test And Agony Of Life

Is How Many Years Do You Cut It When You

Are Alone

And How Much Water Do You Walk On

When You Are Lonely And How Much Power

Do You Have When You Are By Yourself

When There’s Nobody Egging You On And

There’s Nobody

Believing You There’s Nobody To Bear

Witness To Who You Are

How Do You Handle Alone

And Besides All Of The Things That I

Listed That Peter Did

He Did Them When He Was Younger

The Historians Say That When When Jesus

Was Crucified

Peter Was In His Early 40s That’s Why

John Outruns Him Going Down To The Tomb

Because

John Is Young And Not That 40 Is Old

But Peter Is Not Moving As Fast As John

Did Because John Is A Younger Person He

Gets To The Tomb First

So If Peter Was In His 40s When Jesus

Was Crucified

He’s Probably In His 50s

Let Me Speak On Behalf Of All Of The

People That Are 50 And Older

You Might Have Been Amazing At 25

You Might Have Walked On Water At 28

You Might Have Jumped Out Of A Car And

Snatched Somebody Through A Window

At 19 And You Might Have A Bad

Reputation

But By The Time You Are 50 It’s Not Just

That You’re

Older But You Have Spent So Much Energy

Getting To Where You Are The Question

Becomes

Can You Do What You Used To Do

Now That You Are Where You Are When It

Took

So Much For You To Get Here

I Want To Talk To Somebody That It Took

So Much For You To Get Here And Somebody

Would Look At You Now And They Would

Judge You

And They Would Say You’re Wimp But They

Don’t Realize How Much

It Costs You To Get Here

Peter Is Mighty In The Spirit

Jesus Has Declared That Peter Thou Art

The Rock

Now When Jesus Calls You A Rock Baby

You’re A Rock

Jesus Said Peter Thou Art The Rock And

Upon This Rock

I Will Build My Church

But It Shall Do Get Heavy When People

Build On You

I Want To Talk To Some People That That

Have Been Built On

And They Built On You Because You Were

Stable And They Built On You Because

They Could Count On You And They Built

On You Because You Would Always Come

Through And They Just Put

Block After Block At The Block After

Block After Block Have You Ever Had

Anybody Just

Build On You We Knew You Would Handle It

You Just Strong Like That

You Just Wired Like That And They Don’t

Know That Weight Is Still

Weight And Tide Is Still Tied

And Time Is Still Time And After A While

The Erosion Of Taking Other People’s

Weight

On You Begins To Corrode Your Youthful

Vitality And It Is Not So Much The

Calendar

That Has Weakened You It Is The Weight

Of All The People That Have Been Built

On You Pit Of Thou Of The Rock And Upon

This Rock

I Will Build My Church And The Gates Of

Hell Shall Not Prevail

Against It And Now

The Rock Is Tired

I Wish I Had Some People This Morning

Who Were Tired Rocks

Any Tired Rocks In The Building Any Tide

Rocks

Always There For Everybody Fixing Every

Problem

Handling Every Situation Everybody

Counts On You

Everybody Calls On You Everybody Leans

On You

Everybody Pulls From You You’re A Rock

But You’re A Tired Rock

You’re A Strong Black Woman But You’re A

Tired Black Woman

You’re A Strong White Woman But You’re A

Tired White Woman

You’re A Strong Black Man But You Are

Tired Black Man

I Want To Talk To Some Tired Rocks

I’m Tired Tired Of You Putting All That

Weight On Me

I’m Tired Of You Always Counting On Me

I’m Tired Of Having To Stand Up Against

All The Opposition

I’m Tired Of Traveling And Going And

Doing

And Reaching And Serving And Fighting As

If I Were Not A Human

Peter Is Tired I

I For One Am Amazed That He Is Asleep

In The Story The Guy Who Walked On Water

And Cut Off Ears

And It’s The Rock Of The Church It’s

Asleep

In The Story How In The World

Do You Go To Sleep On The Eve

Of You Possibly Being Beheaded

Maybe I Think It’s That Way Because When

I’m Stressed Out The First Thing That

Goes

Is My Sleep The More Worried I Am About

Something

The Less Sleep I Am At To Get I Could

Not

Go To Sleep Knowing That In The Morning

I Could Be Beheaded

That Would Be A Long Night Of Tossing

And Turning

I Wouldn’t Get No Sleep The Chains

Wouldn’t Get Any Rest

The Guards Beside Me Wouldn’t Get

Anywhere Peter Is Asleep

Between Two Soldiers

And There Are 14 More

Scattered Out There

And Peter

It’s Just Tired

Can We Be Honest For A Minute

Ain’t You Tired

Of Fighting Things And Surviving Things

And Enduring Things And Standing Up To

Things

And Fighting Off Obstacles And Walking

On Water And Doing Your Miracles And

And Taking A Bad Situation And Going On

Anywhere Aren’t You Tired

Surviving Divorces And Neglects And

Crisis

And Dilemmas And Tragedies I Want To

Talk To Somebody

That’s Tired I Want To Talk To Somebody

Who Has Been Awesome And Has Been Fierce

And Has Been Mighty And Has Been An

Attack Dog

But Even Attack Dogs Get Sleepy

Now I’m Just Tired

And Not Only Am I Tired I’m Tired And

I’m Alone

You See This Texas Really If It Were A

Windows If We Were In

Microsoft We Would Have Two Windows Open

Because

The People That He Loved That Supported

Him That Gave Him Energy And Gave Him

Strength

They’re In One Window They’re Back In

The House And He

Is In Another Window He’s In A Prison

And This Text Pulls Up Both Windows At

Both Times

But They Are Two Different Stories

The People On One Side That Are Praying

For His Escape

Represent His Ideals

And Peter Sleeping Between Two Soldiers

Represents His Reality How Do We Get

Our Ideals And Our Realities

To Come Together

The The Idea We Preach Our Ideals

We Talk Our Ideals We Teach Our Children

Our Ideals

We Tell Our Friends Our Ideals But We Go

Home

To Wrestle With Our Realities

And Sometimes I Must Confess

That Our Realities Go Line Up With Our

Ideals

I Know You Call It Hypocritical But If

It’s Hypocritical

We Got A Lot Of Company

Because There Is A Vast Deal Of

Difference Between What I

Intended And What Happened

Between What I Believe And What I Am

Experiencing

Between What I Teach And What My

Emotions Are Mandating

On One Hand The Church Is Over Here In

One End Indoor

Window Functioning Like Believers

Rebuking The Devil And Pleading The

Blood

And War And Doing Spiritual Warfare And

On The

Other Window Their Leader

It’s Time

I Want To Talk To Some Time Mamas

It Ain’t That You Don’t Love Your

Children You Love Your Children God

Knows You Do

But You’re Tired You’re Tired Of Arguing

And You’re Tired Of Standing Up To Their

Moods And Their Temperaments And

Their Attitudes And Their Arguments And

You’re Tired Of Not Being Appreciated

And You’re Tired

And Then Pointing Out The One Thing You

Didn’t Do Right

And Ignoring The 12 Things You Did Do

Right You’re Just Tired I Want To Talk

To Some Mamas That Are Tired Of Trying

To Make It Do What It Do

By Yourself And Come In And Go By The

Grocery Store

And Get Off Work And Cook And Get Food

Done

And Study And Get The Clothes Laid Out

And Wash Your Clothes And Get Ready For

Tomorrow

I Want To Talk To Some Tithe Mamas You

Strong But You’re Tired

I Want To Talk To Some Tired Men

Who Have Done Everything You Could To

Make It Do What It Do

And Still It’s Not Working Like You

Wanted It To Work And Your Ideals Over

Here But Your Realities Are Over There

And People Are Judging You By Your

Realities And They Pay No Attention To

Your Ideals

And They Don’t Know That Have They

Caught You At Another Season

You You Had A Sword You Had A Sword But

They’ve

Taken Your Sword Away

How Can I Fight When You Took My Sword

Away

I Have Spoken In The Storm And Walked

Out

On The Water But Now He’s Speechless

In This Text Peter Doesn’t Say A

Word Peter Who Preached

On The Day Of Pentecost Is Speechless In

This Text

There Are No Quotes From Peter In This

Text

He Is Speechless Peter Who Said Hey

If This You Bid Me To Come It’s Saying

Nothing In This Text

Because Peter Is Just

Tired And If Time Were Not Enough

He Is Alone Because When You Are An

Extrovert You Can Get Energy From Being

In A Crowd

But The Enemy Knows That And He Has Put

Him

In Isolation

If You’ve Been Feeling Isolated Wave

Your Hand At Me

You Don’t Have To Be Single To Be

Isolated

You You You You Don’t Have To Be In A

House By Yourself To Be Isolated

If You’ve Been Feeling Isolated This Is

The Message For You

Because Peter Is Now Though Powerful And

Anointed

And Gifted And Chosen By God And Called

A Rock By

Jesus He Is Now In Isolation

And The Only Company He Has

Are The Soldiers That Are Assigned To

Keep Him

In Isolation

And He Is Left Alone

And I Don’t Care How You Smile It Up And

Paint It Up And Dress It Up

And Do Your Hair And Put On Your Clothes

When You’re Feeling Alone

You Can’t Put On Enough Makeup To Cover

Up The Fact

That You Are Alone

And He Has Fallen Asleep

He Has Fallen Asleep Almost It Seems To

Me

That He Has Accepted

That Maybe This Is It

And In My Mind I Try To Climb Into His

Mind For A Minute

And Realize That He Did Not Know How The

Story Was Going To End

So He Doesn’t Know Whether It’s Just

Last Night Or Not

And Maybe He Has Dealt With The

Uncertainty

With Acceptance

And Say Well

My My My Master Was Crucified

My Mentor Was Crucified And Maybe It’s

My Time To Go

And If I’m Gonna Be Like Jesus Maybe

This

Is The Night Before I Am To Go And Maybe

I’ve Resigned Myself To It

And I Don’t Know Whether God’s Got

Another Miracle Left In His Bag For Me

Or Not

I Want To Talk To People Who Are Dealing

With Uncertainty

You’re Trying To Believe But You Don’t

Know Exactly What To Believe

You Don’t Know Whether To Use Your Faith

To Accept Your Faith

Or Use Your Faith To Fight Your

Situation

You Don’t Know Whether This Is God’s

Will Or The Devil At Work Again

You Don’t Know Whether This Is How Your

Story Is Or Whether God Is Going To Do

Something

And Especially At This Age In Your Life

And At This Stage In Your Life

After All You’ve Been Through And All

Your Bag Of Tricks You’re Not Sure

There’s

Another Trick Left In The Bag And Is

There At Least

Is There At Least One More Miracle

That’s Left In The Bag For Me

I Am Not Sure

I Am Not Sure I And Uncertainty

Is Anxiety

Can I Go Deeper Uncertainty Is

Anxiety If You Live With Uncertainty

Long Enough

You Will Build Up Anxiety Because You

Just Don’t Know Am I Going To Lose My

Head

Am I Going To Be Crucified Am I Going To

Be Thrown In The Lion’s Den

I Don’t Know

It’s The Virus Homer I Don’t Know Does

The Vaccine Work

I Don’t Know Will I Get My Job Back

I Don’t Know Will The Company Come Back

I Don’t Know

Will I Get Married Again I Don’t Know

Will I Ever Be Loved Again

I Don’t Know I Don’t Know How To Plan I

Don’t Know What Kind Of House To Buy

I Don’t Know Where My Life Is Going I

Just Don’t Know

And The Anxiety Years And Years

And Months And Months And Weeks And

Weeks

Of Not Knowing Will Just Wear You Out

Fighting In Your Own Head I’d Rather

Fight A Roman Soldier

Than To Fight In My Own Head I’d Rather

Fight The Whole Freaking Army

Than To Fight In My Own Head I’d Rather

Line Up All 16 Soldiers

And Let’s Just Go At It But The Fight

Has Gone From The

Outside To The Inside And I’m Fighting

The Fact

That I Am A Believer Who Don’t Know What

To Believe

Ah Are There Any Real Believers In The

House With Me

I’m A Believer But I Don’t Know

I Don’t Know What To Believe

I Don’t Know What To Pray

I Don’t Know What To Say

And I Have Shut

My Mouth That’s When You Need

Intercessors

When You Can’t Pray For Yourself

[music]

That’s When You Need Somebody To Call On

God For You

When You Have Run Out Of Words To Say

That’s When You Need Somebody To Touch

The Throne Of Grace

When You Are Speechless Up Under The

Attack That’s When You Need Some Prayer

Warriors To Be Marching Around

At Three O’clock In The Morning Pleading

The Blood And Rebuking The Devil

Clean The Blood And Rebuking The Devil

Pleasing The Blood And Rebuking The

Devil

Bleeding The Blood And Rebuking The

Devil That’s When You Need Somebody

In A Seating For You

Because You Are Exhausted From The

Pressure

Of Not Knowing Peter Doesn’t Know How

His Story’s Gonna End

Peter Doesn’t Know If This Meal Was His

Last Meal

Or This Night Was His Last Night

And So He Has Settled Watch This

He Has Settled In To Uncertainty

As If It Were Normalcy

I Want That To Settle He Has Settled

Into

Uncertainty As If It Were Normalcy

And He Has Made Himself Comfortable

In An Uncomfortable Situation Oh God

Help Me

He Has Made Himself Comfortable He Has

Made Himself Comfortable

In An Uncomfortable Situation He Has

Made The Unworkable Work

He Has Made The Uncertain A Resting

Place And

Peter Has Gone To Bed

Between Two Soldiers

Sleeping Between Two Soldiers Whose

Assignment

Is To Hold You Where You Are

There Are Spirits That Have Been

Assigned To Your Life

Whose Only Job Is To Hold You Where You

Are

To Make Sure That You Don’t Move Too Far

Away From Where They Put You

There Are Some Demonic Influences That

Have Been Said

On An Assignment To Make You Accept

The Unacceptable As Acceptable The

Abnormal

As Normal The Uncertain As Certain And

They Want You To Go To Bed

And Something That God Wants To Get You

Out Of Them

[music]

God Wants To Get You Out Of Something

That The Enemy Wants You To Sleep In

God Wants To Move You Away From

Something That The Enemy Wants To Give

You A Pillar

And Make You Go To Sleep Here God Wants

To Pull You Away

From Something That The Enemy Is Trying

To Lure You Into

And He Has Assigned His Chosen

Spirits

[music] [applause]

To Make You Accept The Unacceptable To

Make You Rest In The Uncertain

To Lull You Into The Toxicity Of

Sleep And Slumber

In A Situation That God Is About

To Get You Out Of

Oh God Oh You Don’t Hear What I’m Saying

I Said The Enemy Is Trying To Get You To

Go To Sleep

In A Situation That God Is About To Get

You

Out Of The Enemy Is Trying To Make You

Think That Your Life Is Over

And God Is About To Get You Out Of It

The Enemy Is Trying To Make You Think

That God Didn’t Have Another Sermon

Another Song

Another Job Another Message Another Life

Another Love Another Hope Another House

And The Enemy’s Trying To Make You Go To

Sleep

But God

[applause] [music]

I Feel The Anointing Of The Holy Ghost

I Said But God God Is Trying To Wake You

Up

Somebody Type Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up

How You Die

Wow Peter Was In This Toxic

Environment Of Uncertainty

This Toxic Environment Of Anxiety

This Toxic Environment Of Worry This

Toxic Environment Of Discomfort He Was

Asleep

And The Angel Came In While

He Was Asleep The Angel

Walked In To His Night

I’m Gonna Say That Again The Angel

Walked Into His Night Get Ready Somebody

Because The Angel

Is Getting Ready To Walk Into Your Night

And You Get Ready To Walk Into Your Dark

Place

He’s Getting Ready To Walk Into Your

Uncertainty And I Don’t Care How Many

Hellhounds

Hell

Can Stop You When God Gets Ready To Come

Get You

The Angel Shows Up In The Prison

Tell Your Neighbor Angel Is Showing Up

I’m Broke But An Angel Is Showing Up

I’ve Been Depressed But An Angel Just

Showed Up I’ve Been In Despair But An

Angel Just Showed Up

The Lord Told Me That If I Preached This

Word

It Was Going To Be The Word That Woke

Somebody Up

You Should Have Killed Me Before I

Woke Up You Should Have Killed Me

Before I Got One God You’re Gonna Kill

Me

Before I Had An Awakening Wake Me Up

Jesus

[music]

This Is The Turning Point Of The Text

The Text Doesn’t Turn Until The Apostle

Wakes Up

The Angel Is Already Awake But Until

You Wake Up Nothing In Your Life

Is Gonna Change

Until You Wake Up You Think You’re

Waiting On

God God Is Waiting On You

You Think You’re Waiting On God God Is

Waiting On You

Somebody Holler Wake Up

[applause]

Now Let Me Take You Somewhere I Want To

Take You Somewhere

Peter Wakes Up

And This Is The Most Important Part

Of The Message To Me Peter

Wakes Up In Stages

[applause]

Peter Wakes Up

In Stages The Bible Says

That The Angel Woke Him Up

And The Moment That The Angel Woke Him

Up

He Said To Peter Harry Get Up

And The Moment He Said That To Peter

Peter Still They Said Nothing

The Chains Fell Off

Now The Angels Spoke Loud Enough

That Peter Could Hear Him But Not So

Loud

That The Soldiers Could Hear Him What

God

Has For You Is For You

And All Them Wannabes That Are Hanging

Around You

Cannot Get What God

[music]

God Has For You And The Moment He Said

Harry Get Up

The Chains Fell Off Of Peter’s Hands

And Immediately Peter Got Up

But This Is The Thing You Have To Reel

Up This Is Important For You To

Understand

You Always Wake Up In Stages

You Fell Asleep In Stages

If You Study Sleep There Are Several

Different Stages Of Sleep You Fall

Asleep In Stages

And You Wake Up In

Stages Peter Woke Up

And The Bible Said That He Followed

The Angel Out Put My Text Up He Followed

The Angel

Out But

He Followed Him Out

But He He Wasn’t Sure What Was Happening

He Followed Him Out Of The Prison Not

Knowing

Wait A Minute I Thought He Was Awake

Yeah He Was Awake

He Was Awake But He And He Was Following

The Angel Look At The Text He Was

Following The Angel

That’s Why I Can’t Have A Lot Of People

Asking Me A Lot Of Questions

Because Sometimes I’m Following The

Angel

But I’m Not Knowing I’m Awake

The Angel Is In Front Of Me I’m

Following The

Angel Here They’ll Say

But I Can’t Answer No Questions I Can’t

Answer No Questions

Because I’m Not Knowing

And He Thought

That He Was Seeing A Vision

That Means That My Dream

And My Reality Have Collided

So Much So That I Don’t Know Whether

To Believe That My Dream

Is Real God

I Want To Talk To Somebody That’s

Starting To See A Change

But You’re Scared To Believe It

Yeah You’re Scared To Believe It You’re

Scared To Trust It

You’ve Been Asleep So Long That You’re

Following The Angel

And The Chains Have Fallen Off But You

Don’t Know Whether To Trust It

Because It Could Be A Dream It Could Be

A Fantasy

It Could Be A Vision You Believe It

Watch This Camera You Believe It But You

Don’t Know It

There Is A Difference Between Believing

Something

And Knowing Something He Is Believing It

But He Doesn’t Know It And He’s Thinking

Now

He Doesn’t Know His Spirit That No His

Mind Thinks Could Be A Vision

Why Is That So Because You Wake Up

In Stages It Takes You

A While

To Wake Up Fully

To What God Is Doing In Your Life For We

Walk By

Faith And Not By Sight

You Don’t See It But You’re Walking In

You Don’t Know It But You’re Walking In

It

God’s Bringing You Out But You’re Afraid

To Trust It

Because It’s Not Real Now Now Listen

Listen You Gotta Get This Because This

Is Important Whenever I’m Interviewed

People Ask Me

I Started Out Started Out My Life I Was

Doing Finals Working A Job

Had A Good Job Had A Time In Church Take

Care Of Myself

Had A New Car Had A New Wife Had A New

Family Had A New Life

Lost My Job Lost All My Income Lost

Everything

Went Down The Food Stamps Repossessed

The Car

Lost Everything I Had And Then I Started

To Slow

Climb Back Up And People

Always Ask Me When Did You Know

That You Were Coming Out And It Is The

Hardest

Question In The World To Answer

Because I Followed The Angel

Not Knowing You Got To Be

Willing To Follow The Angel

Not Knowing Still Uncertain

Awake But Not Fully Awake

Inside You Just Got To Trust

That The One In Front Of You Knows What

He’s Doing

While You Are Still Uncertain

Because You Wake Up

In Stages You Don’t Know Who You Are Yet

You Don’t Know Who You Are Yet You Don’t

Know Who You Are Yet You Might Have A

Clue

But You Wake Up

In Stages Give Me That Tense First

When He Starts To Wake Up They Passed By

The First Guard Post

And Then The Second And Then They Came

To The Iron Gate

Leading Into The City And The Gate

Opened By Itself So The Angel

Who Was Capable Of Killing

All 16 Soldiers

Didn’t Kill Any Of Them Just Walk Past

Them I Want To Talk To The People Who

Walk Past Stuff That Could Have Killed

You

But God Just Let You Walk Past

[music]

Oh I Wish I Had A Witness In Here

Somebody Knows What It’s Like

To Walk Past Something That Should Have

Killed You

But God Walked You Right Past It

And You Didn’t Kill It And It Didn’t

Kill You You Just

Escaped It They Passed

The First Guard Post And Then Then They

Passed By

The Second And They Came To The Last

To The Iron Gate That Led

To The City This Is The Final

Demarcation Between

Ideals And Reality

And The Bible Is Careful To Know Luke Is

Writing Here

Luke Is A Physician He Is Given To

Details

He Takes The Time To Note

That The Gate Was Iron

It Is An Iron Gate What Had You

Locked In Is An Iron Gate

But By The Time You Get To It

[applause] [music] [applause]

By The Time You Get To It Don’t Worry

About The Fact That It Hadn’t Opened Yet

By The Time You Get To It

You Won’t See It Open In Advance But The

Holy Ghost Said By The Time

You Get To It By The Time You Get To It

Yes I’m Talking To You Right In Your

House By The Time You Get To It

By The Time You Walk Up On It God Said

He Has So Arranged It

That It’s Gonna Look Immovable But By

The Time

You Get To It It Is Going To Open

By Itself Whoever I’m Preaching To

Take About 10 Seconds And Praise Him

Like A Gate Just Opened

[music]

Praise It Like A Gate Just Opened

Praise Him Like A Gate

Just Crazy

Like A Financial Case A

Physical Gate A Healing Gate

A Blessed Gator Pray Them

Angel Don’t Get No Credit

For It The Soldiers Don’t Get No Credit

For

It It Just

There Are Some Things God Is Going To Do

For You

That Nobody Will Ever Get Credit For

It’s Just That By The Time You Walked Up

To It

It Just Opened

Just That Simple Just That Fast

My Credit Rating

[applause]

My Business My Personal Life

My Relationship With My Child We Had

Been Speaking For 10 Years But By The

Time

I Got To It Just

[music]

Y’all Don’t Believe That

Pagan I Was A Storefront Preacher

But By The Time I Got Here The

Door Just

I Prophesied To You A Door Is About To

Open In Your Life

A Door Is About To Open In Your Life A

Door

Is About To Open In Your Life A Door Is

About To Open

In Your Life I Said A Door Is About To

Open In Your Life

Don’t Tell Me About Your Circumstance

Don’t Tell Me About Your Problem

Don’t Tell Me About Your Situation Don’t

Tell Me About Your Crisis

Don’t Tell Me About Your Accountant

Don’t Tell Me What The Devil Said

The Holy Ghost Said That A Door Is About

To

Open Whoever I’m Talking To You Ought To

Just

Lose Your Mind In A Holy Ghost Rage

The Thing That Gets Me

Marcus The Door Just Opened

And Then The Bible Said They Just Went

Out

[music]

They Just

[music]

They Just Went Out

With 16 Soldiers

Assigned To Hold Them In

Deliverance Was Easier Than Anything You

Could Have Imagined

Once He Woke Up

[music] [applause]

Once You Wake Up I Want To Make Sure I

Give You What God Said

Once You Wake Up To Who You Are

God Will Maneuver You Past All Of These

Soldiers

That Have Been Assigned To You To Keep

You

Isolated

And

[music]

I Was Here And Now I’m There

And I Cannot Explain To You How It

Happened

A Door Just Opened

And I Just

[music]

Who Would Have Thought That That Little

Girl

Would Walk Up On That Stage And Recite

That Poem

At The Inauguration And The Whole World

Would Go Bananas And Everybody

Would Know Who She Was By One Point

Other People Have Done Poems At

Inauguration For You My Angelou Did One

A Lot Of People Do Point

This Was The Moment That The Door Opened

You Never Know Which Thing You Go To Do

Is The Door The Iron Gate

That Will Open Up To A Dimension Of

Yourself

You Have Never Seen

[music]

Before You Don’t Know

Which Gate Is The

Gate You Don’t Know Which Gate It Is

That’s Why You Have To Be Excellent All

The Time

Because You Don’t Know Which Time

Is Gonna Be The Time That Changes

The Trajectory Of Your Life Six

Pain Soldiers

[music]

Without A Fight

They Went Out And The Bible Said

The Gate Led To The City

The Gate Opened For Them By Itself They

Went Out

They Walked Down The Street Just Like

People Taking The Walk They Just

What They Didn’t Dance They Didn’t Shout

They Didn’t Speak In Towns They Just

Walked Down The Street

And Suddenly The Angel Left

[music]

As Quickly As He Came

He Left

[music]

And When The Angel Left Give Me The Next

Verse

[music]

Then This Is What You Got To Get

Then Peter Realized

What Had Happened To Him

See He Was He Was Woke But He Wasn’t

Fully Awoke Yeah

You Are More Awake In Retrospect

Than You Are In Real Time Speed

Because You’re So Busy Doing It That You

Don’t Have Time To Interpret It

It Was After He Was Out And The

Gate Had Opened And They Had

Walked Down The Street And The Angel Was

Gone

Then Peter Realized That’s Why I Called

It

An Awakening Then

Peter Realized

So Waking Up Isn’t Just A Biological

State Of Being It Is Also A

Psychological

State Of Acceptance Then Peter Realized

What Had Happened To Him Do You All Hear

The Words That Are Coming Out Of My

Mouth

You Mean All You Walked Past 16 Soldiers

Three Doors And An Iron Gate

And Before You Knew It You Were Down The

Street

And You Didn’t Realize What Had Happened

Until You Were

Out Of The Prison Pass The Doors Through

The Gate

Away From The Soldiers And Then You Look

Back At It

And Say I’m Out

I Didn’t Know I Was Out

I’m Ouch

I’m Out So Don’t Expect To Feel

Out While You’re Getting Out

[music]

By The Time You Feel Out

You Will Have Already Been Out

Then Peter Realized What Had Happened To

Him And Said Now

I Know It Is Really True

The Lord Sent His Angel To Rescue Me

From Herod’s Power You Just Now Figuring

That Out Peter

You Didn’t Know That While You Were

Walking Past Oligarchy No

You Don’t Know You’re Getting Better

While You’re Getting Better

You Don’t Know You’re Getting Stronger

While You’re Getting Stronger

You Don’t Know That You’re Getting Up On

Your Feet

While You’re Getting Up On Your Feet

It’s Only When You Look Back At It

That You Get A Chance To Process What

God

Has Done In Your Life He Said You Know

What The Lord Did

Now Wait A Minute Peter Is Finally

Talking And Ain’t Nobody There To Talk

To

All The While There Was Somebody There

To Talk To

Peter Ain’t Saying Nothing The First

Time Peter Brings Word To The Text

There’s Nobody There To Hear Him

He’s Talking To Himself

And That’s Where Deliverance Occurs

Through What You Say To Yourself

What You Say To Yourself Determines

The Trajectory Of Your Oh God I’m

Preaching Better Than You Shall Be

What You Say To Yourself Determines

The Trajectory Of Your Life Peter

Realized What Had Happened

Once He Realized It Once His Mind Got It

Then He Started Talking What His Mind

Had Processed

If You Don’t Think Right You’re Not

Going To Talk Right If You Don’t Talk

Right You’re Not Going To Be Right

When He Got It Right In His Head He Got

It Right In His Mouth

He Said Now I Know That It Is Really

True The Lord Sent His Angel To Rescue

Me From Herod

From Herod’s Power And From Every And

From

Everything The Jewish People Those Are

Two Different Dimensions

Expect It To Happen

He Delivered Me From The Jews

And The Romans And The Soldiers

And I Didn’t Even Realize It Now I’m

Gonna Say This And I’m Gonna Close

It Goes On To Say

That In The Morning

When The Guards Woke Up

And Herod Came And

Peter Was Gone

Herod Was Furious

And He Said Find Him

And They Were Searching Everywhere But

He Was Gone

Where The Enemy Is Looking For You You

Will Not Be

The Enemy Is Expecting You To Be Where

He Left You

Where He Changed You Where You Talked

Where You Live Where You Slept

Where You Accepted He Expected You To Be

There But

You Will Not Be There

They Could Not Find Him They Could Not

Find Him

God Said Do Not Let The Enemy Find You

Where You Fell Asleep

Do Not Let The Enemy Find You Where You

Fell Asleep That The Whole Purpose Of

Sending The Angel

Was To Give You An Awakening So That

When They Start

Looking For You Where They Left You

You Would Not Be There Anymore God Is

Going To

Move You From That Spot And They Will

Not

Find You Though They Searched For You

And When They Couldn’t

Find Peter Then Herod

Pronounced The Sentence

On The Soldiers

[music]

He Had The Soldiers Killed

Y’all Didn’t Hear Me The Guy Who Was

Going To

Sentence Peter Now Sentences The People

That Were Holding Him

In Other Words What Was Supposed To

Happen To Peter

Now Happened To His Captors The Ones Who

Held Him Down

Are Now Dying At The Hands Of Herod

And Peter Just Walking Around Chilling

Over At Mandem’s House

Trying To Get Roto Open Up The Door So

He Gets Something To Eat

So He Chill Out Change His Clothes Take

A Shower

Put On Some Aftershave Comb His Hair Get

Ready To Go About His Business And

Continue

His Mission And After That

The Bible Says That Herod

Went To The Next City Where He Died

[music]

He Was Still Left Standing

He Was Only Supposed To Have Had One

Night

But He Remained Alive

After 16 Soldiers Were Killed

And Herod Is Dead Peter Is Still

Preaching Because He Had

An Awakening Lift Your Hands And Open

Your Mouth Before God And Start Praising

Him Right Out Of Your Mouth Right Now

Because This Is The Sunday

That God Said He’s Going To Shake You

And Give You An Awakening

[music]

This Is The Transformative Moment

This Is The Moment Of Change

This Is The Moment That He Shakes Your

Shoulder

And Brings You Out Of Your Stupor

And Forget What I Have The Power To Do

It’s Time For Me To Wake Up Even If I

Have To Wake Up In Stages

Even If I Have To Wake Up Little By

Little Even If I Have To Get Out Before

I Fully Comprehend What Has Happened To

Me

The Process Starts Today

So Today I’m Going To Take A Step Today

If It’s Gonna Be Cut Back On Food I’m

Gonna Cut Back On Food

If It’s Gonna Be Cutting Back On Alcohol

Or Liquor Or Gossip

Another Sermon And Not Make A Change

I Am Tired Of Collecting Sermons

I’m Gonna Make Changes If I Have To Wake

Up In Stages

If I Have To Break Up In Stages If I

Have To Say Goodbye In Stages

I Am Going To Have An Awakening That

Starts Today

I’m Going To Start At This Point

Becoming Who God Created Me To Be

It May Be A Process I May Have To Get

Out Before I Realize It

But I’m Going To Start Right Now I Will

Not

Fall Asleep In An Affair

I Will Not Fall Asleep In Poverty

I Will Not Fall Asleep In Depression

I Will Not Fall Asleep In Doubt

I Will Not Fall Asleep In Worry I Will

Not Fall Asleep And Become An

Alcoholic Just Because I’m Lonely Just

Because I’m Isolated

Just Because Things Aren’t Going The Way

I Want Them To Go I Refuse

To Anesthetize My Pain And Medicate My

Crisis

To My Own Destruction Give Us

An Awakening Right Now I Don’t Know Who

I’m Talking To But This Is Your Moment

God Told Me That My Role In This Message

Was To Be The Angel That Shook You

And I Pray This Message Shakes You

Until All Of A Sudden

Hurry Up And Get Up From There

[music]

God Said If I Preach This Word Change

We’re Going To Fall

Two Chains Are Going To Fall Off Of You

16 Guards Are Gonna Sleep Through It

And You’re Gonna Walk Through It All

And God Is Going To Do It Two Chains

16 Guards

And God Said You’re Going To Walk Out

And When You Get To The Iron Gate

It’s Going To Open

And You Won’t Realize It Until The Angel

Is Gone

There Are Certain Things That Are Going

To Come

Behind This Message That You Won’t

Realize

Until This Broadcast Is Over

When The Angel Disappears The Full

Impact Of What I Just Shared Is Going To

Gradually

Make Itself Clear To You And You’re

Going To Have An Awakening

That The Guards Are Gone

Herod Is Dead The Chains Have Fallen

And Your Reality Has Come Knocking On

The Door Of Your Ideals

When Peter Walked Up To Mary’s House And

Knocked On The Door

Hardly Believe It

Ideals

Become
