Shifting Into Your Miracle

the Bible says there's no other name given among men whereby we must be saved does anybody feel the Lord in this house today I like what I feel in the building today you can go ahead and be seated if you'd like I don't pay too much attention in that clock back there because it's about ten minutes ahead so don't don't don't think I'm gonna preach preach over but just I won't be very long today but I do believe that I've got a word from the Lord I do believe he's spoken to me and I just

pray that he would have his way in this house I would like to I want to be talking about shifting today that's not my title but I just want to expound for a minute on the definition of the word shift shift means to mover to cause to move from one place to another especially over a small distance if it's used as a noun it's a slight change in position direction or tendency so shift means to move whether it's a small shift or a largely if you're moving from one place to the next

we do not experience a lot of these in Mississippi but when states that are close to fault lines across the world they are a subject to have earthquakes a lot of earthquakes some major some minor the last one that Corinth Mississippi had was on August 13th I mean August 30th 2013 it was measured as a 2.0 earthquake and they said that we did not even feel it but these earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates so these tectonic plates are in the Earth's crust in the lithosphere

I know those are some kind of big words I don't really understand them I just looked it up but I did remember learning about that in when I was in grade school so it's the shifting of tectonic plates and that causes an earthquake that causes a shaking and today I would like to talk to you from the

tidal shifting into your miracle shifting into your miracle I believe for we leave this house today that God wants to perform some miracles in some people's life I don't think you heard me I said I believe God wants to perform some miracles in some people's life whether it be healing whether it be deliverance whether he takes you out of your situation and puts you somewhere where he wants you to do I believe that God has got a divine plan for this place today let me take your reading to the book of Acts chapter 16 starting

with verse 25 and you'll like this brother key because I heard you to teach a little bit on it this morning Acts chapter 16 beginning with verse 25 and at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God and the prisoners heard them

you know I can't imagine being in paul and silas's shoes they were doing everything that they knew to do right and it seems like when you're trying to do everything you can to do right you know people are gonna talk about you people are gonna slander you and so they decided that they were going to throw Paul and Silas into jail but Paul and Silas trusted God Paul and Silas knew what kind of God that they served they were just not in this prison by coincidence but they were in this prison because they were doing exactly what God had commanded them to do

see sometimes when we even obey God the way we're supposed to sometimes we end up in some dark places just because we serve God with everything inside of us does not mean we're not gonna fall on hard times it does not mean that we're not gonna step into some trials or step into some tribulations but sometimes God has gotta bring us somewhere so he can show us that he is the only one that can get us out

and so Paul and Silas were sitting there in this jail cell when the Bible said that they begin to pray and sing praises unto God wow I can't imagine that their lowest of the low they still trusted God prayed and sang praises despite their situation I wish I could talk to somebody in the House today and tell you I don't care what kind of situation you're in today but if you can begin to pray and if you begin to praise God he will shake some things up in your life you see praising God in the hard times is what captures God's attention

now he likes horses to praise him in the good times but when we begin to praise Him in the hard times it shows him that we are sold out it shows him that we don't care what comes our way that we gotta make it to heaven that he's changed our life and we're going to serve Him with everything inside of us

so when they begin to pray and they when they begin to sing praises the Bible says in verse 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's bands were loosed I believe God wants to shift some people today and he wants to shake some things up in your life and when he begins to shake some things up some doors that you've been praying about are gonna swing wide open and some chains that have had you bound are gonna fall off of you today

every person in this place if you're dealing with an addiction if you're dealing with things in your life that you cannot shake I promise you under the authority of the Holy Ghost if you will sing and if you'll praise God today those chains can be broken from you

I serve a god that's a chain breaker I serve a god that's a miracle worker he's a God that's able to take anybody and poach them from where they're at and them on a rock and so that's what he did for Paul and Silas and the doors are opened and everybody in that prison their doors were open all the doors were open not just theirs but all the doors were opened I wonder if your step towards God today could open some doors for some people in your family or can lead to the breaking of chains for some people in your family

because if some chains could get broken in your life I believe you could be a witness unto some people that you know to say if I can be delivered from this ax I know that you can be delivered from this I don't serve a God that picks and chooses but I serve a God that says I am no respecter of person I don't care what your past is I don't care how many mistakes you made but if you call out unto me today I will turn my ears unto you and I will hear you from heaven that's what kind of God that I serve today

I believe there's gonna be a shaking in the house today but you got to be willing to praise him in the hard times I want to talk just a minute about stepping into the prophetic listen in Matthew chapter 28 beginning with verse 1 it says in the end of the Sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week Came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the supporter

so Jesus was in a tomb he had just been betrayed by Judas Iscariot for thirty pieces of silver and Judas by now probably had already hung himself just feeling so bad about what he had done and so the Bible says that they took Jesus before and they had his trial and they put a crown of thorns upon his head they kicked him and they spit on him and they did all these things to him and they mocked him and said save yourselves since you proclaimed to be the King of the Jews and so

they eventually made him bear Krauss as he went up to the heel called Calvary and so as he was on Calvary he hung on a wooden cross and the Bible says that when he was on the cross finally he gave up the ghost and veil in the temple was ripped from the top to the bottom and so now we find ourselves in front of the tomb having been dead for three days

but let's you let me remind you of something very quickly mark chapter 9 verse 31 says for he taught his disciples and said unto them the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men and they shall kill him and after that he is killed he shall rise the third day

listen maybe somebody in this building has had somebody come up to you and tell you that God is about to reveal some things to you or maybe you're about to step into an area of your life that God is going to begin to open some doors has anybody in this place had some promises that have been given to them by the Lord and yet you have not seen them come to pass

I know that I have I know that I want to see exactly what God has for me and sometimes it's so hard to wait on the Lord because sometimes he takes his sweet little time and it seems like you know is it ever gonna really happen you know my lord maybe I didn't hear your voice but you know maybe maybe I imagined that

but I came to tell somebody today I believe some promises are gonna come true in this house today I believe some things that have been spoken into your life today if you hear the word of the Lord that they will happen because if God spoken I don't think you heard me I said if God spoke to them they will come to pass and so he told them he said I'm gonna rise from the dead and verse two says and behold there was a great earthquake for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came in a rolled back the stone from the door and set upon it

let me tell you that first before you enter into the prophetic first before you enter into the promises you're going to get shook a little bit you're gonna have some trials in your life you're gonna have some things that's gonna shake you and it's gonna try to break you because God's gonna see if you're really ready to step into the prophetic if you're really ready to step into the promises

because believe me God don't want to throw no into the prophetic he does not want to throw no into the promises but he wants to make sure that you're ready to step into the plan that he has for your life and sometimes you got to be shaking a little bit don't think just because you're going through some trials right now and that you're going through some temptations and you got family problems all around you that God's promises his win away but it's not he's just shaking you a little bit

you see this world's gonna shake us a little bit but if we are standing upon a rock if we are standing upon Jesus Christ the Bible says the wise man that built his house upon a rock it said that the winds came and the rain came but it said that his house stood I don't think you heard me I said his house stood and it said the foolish man had built his house upon the sand now the foolish man might have had a promise but he did not build his house upon a rock

listen if you want to enter into the supernatural if you want to enter into the plans that God has for you you gotta be built upon a rock because if you're over here one day and then you're on the other side of the fence the other day how can God trust you to work for him how can God trust you to be a minister for him how can God trust you to be a teacher for him

this I'm not gonna say that you're not gonna make mistakes but we gotta be a soul out to church because these people that are in the world if they look at us and they see that we're hypocrites they are not going to want to enter into this house with a bunch of other hypocrites but we got to show them that come what may this church of the Living God is gonna stand this church is built upon a rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it

somebody's got some promises today and God wants to make them come true God did not send me up here today to say this just you know to waste your time but I believe I've stepped into this house to talk to somebody I believe somebody in this house has been talking to God you might even been talking to him this week saying God when's it gonna come to pass I can't handle the storm much longer

I'm beaten and I'm broken God will you just let me walk into the Promised Land today is your day today is your day you see the stone can and will be rolled away revealing to you your promise the stone will be rolled away but first there's got to be some shaking

but let me tell you that moment that moment when the spoon is rolled away I can just imagine Mary Magdalene and Mary just peering in the tomb looking stay well maybe he's over in this corner or maybe he's over in this corner but the angel told him brother Keith he said he is risen He is risen I can just feel right now in my spirit that somebody is going to experience some excitement this week when they look in their tomb and they see God your promise has come to pass

your promise has come to pass just hang with me I'm still going somewhere I hadn't touched on you just hold on because I got a couple other examples here Ezekiel chapter 37 Ezekiel chapter 37 Ezekiel was carried out in the spirit of the Lord the Bible says that the Lord took him into a dry Valley full of bones such a depressing place such a lonely place just Ezekiel there by himself and a dry Valley full of bones and excuse me and all these bones were scattered around here it was like an army was there that was just destroyed and in

Ezekiel 37 beginning with verse 7 he said so I prophesied see the Lord to asked him he said Ezekiel he said can these bones live does anybody got some dead things in your life today that you've lost from addictions that you've lost because of bad decisions you've lost because of stupidity because I've lost a bunch that way does anybody got some bad things in your life brother Chris

I was just talking to somebody it was yesterday or sometime this week I can't really remember but I was telling them I said I got a guy that goes to my church and I said well actually a couple Hey they've been delivered from meth for a while now and I said he had a lot of things that he threw away yet a lot of things that may it took from him took a lot of things from him but I said I believe today that God has restored to him more than he lost to those addictions because that's what kind of God that I serve today

you see we find in the Bible of a man named Joe Jobe lost everything he had brother Keith everything that he had but he didn't give up on God he wanted to his wife told him to she said curse God and die and some wife was she I'm just kidding because imagine being his wife bagent losing everything and who better to be honest too than your spouse you know my wife tell me a lot of things she wouldn't tell me else and so is why just Joe why don't you just curse God and die you know he's done took everything from us

but Jobe said no you know naked I came into this world naked I'm gonna leave listen God does not have to give us anything in this world but he loves us so much that he wants us to be comfortable while we're in this world and so

aji Ezekiel the Lord said to him said so he said so I prophesied as I was commanded the Lord spoke to him and he said I want you to prophesy to these dead bones and he told him word to word what to say in Ezekiel prophesied and as he prophesied it as he was commanding he said I saw prophesied there was a noise and behold a shaking a shaking and the bones came together bone to his bone

listen God sent me here to tell somebody today that some things that have been dead in your life if you will trust him today he will begin to put those bones back together and not only will they be bones but they will be living things I serve a God of restoration shifting into a life of restoration listen if you've lost some things to some bad decisions today if you've lost some things because of you know maybe addictions or maybe things like it I serve a God that wants to restore to you those things

God wants to breathe the breath into some things that we thought were dead and were long gonna but just like he breathed breath into us when we were born God wants to take some of those things that you thought were locked away some things that you never get back and he wants to breathe some breath into those things and bring them back to life

maybe you've walked away from the Lord countless know of times God wants to restore his relationship with you but he wants to restore it better because he don't want you walking out on him again but he's going to restore it better than it was listen let me tell somebody

today do not be mad at God because of selfish decisions that you have made do not be mad at God just because you know some Trials happen and you walked away from him but if you're here in this building today God is not giving up on you but he's reaching to you he knew you was going to be here today and he sent me to tell you that he is a God of restoration that he is a God of promises that he is a good God does anybody in the house know that God is good

if you would give him a hand clap of praise that's Lord and so we've got to realize that when a shift happens there's going to be a shaking God is wanting to shift some people in this house from the situation you're in and he wants to move you to somewhere better some of you feel like God has got a different plan for your life

and you feel like you've spoken it to you he's got a different direction it might be in your job it might be in your walk of him he might be calling you out to do some things and you're having some problems right now you're shaking a little bit your your your brain might even be a little shaken with what to do but let me tell you the shaking comes before the promise the shaking comes before the miracle and God has a miracle for somebody in this house today

so we find here in my closing I told you I was gonna be very long you'd stand with me I want to talk just for the next couple of minutes on a shift in the atmosphere a shift in the atmosphere God spoke to me yesterday and he told me there was going to be a shift it was going to be a movement it was going to be a shift

I know God's in this place he wants to shift somebody from the place they're at and take you to a place that you've been praying about take you to a place that you've been hoping for take you to a place that people said you never could go take you to a place where your family said you couldn't go take you to a place where your friends said you couldn't go let me tell somebody this today the miracles that you read about in the Bible not just for those days but we served the same God the same God

and just like he took time out of his day to go and catch the Devils out of the man or go and heal the blinded eyes or go and touch the woman who had the issue of blood or heal people from the dead he's still that same God I believe God is shaking some people in this house today and he is already here but he's wanting you to shift closer to him he's shaking some people right now he's saying if you will move I'll shift you into your miracle

I wish every eye would close in this place I wish we take this to me because I feel God moving in this house there's some people that have walked into this building with insurmountable circumstances but God told me I want to shift their situation I want to shift their situation I don't want them to have to suffer anymore but I want to shift them from whether

I wish somebody would come I feel in my spend that somebody needs God today somebody needs him right now you've been praying you've been seeking your life is in shambles right now and God says if you'll move today hold somebody pray that somebody will come in this house I believe God wants to ship his church to a different place this is somebody's chance

don't leave this building the way that you want if you're needing a miracle today we prayed about some miracles earlier if you're wanting a miracle come on down to the front today and pray and ask God say God have faith but will you an increase my I had a man tell me one time that life was nothing more than comprised of moments in opportunity it'd be ashamed to walk out of here and miss this moment and this opportunity it'd be ashamed of miss Allen the miracle that you can be shifted into he's here today
