This is Coke Zero Sugar. Could I be the best Coke ever? Try and taste with your ears. Hear those bubbles? Imagine them tingling on your tongue. Fizzy deliciousness. Listen to that cascading liquid. A mouth-watering waterfall. Irresistibly tasty. Zero sugar. Crisp. Refreshing. And ice gold. Is Coke Zero Sugar the best Coke ever? Try and decide.

You could sit there and listen to ads, or you could take a moment to have a Diet Coke break. First, grab a chilled Diet Coke, because if you want it to be perfect, it needs to be crispy. Next, get a big cup of ice, because everyone knows Diet Coke is best served swimming in ice.

Then sip it slowly, feel that burn and enjoy your break for as long as possible. When you need a break, don't forget to grab an ice cold Diet Coke and take a Diet Coke break. Moments like my daughter telling me a new joke mean a lot to me. But after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer or MBC, which is breast cancer that is spread to other parts of the body, they mean even more. I take Ibrance, Palpacyclib, Ibrance

The week is finally, finally here. I will not say that it was this time last year because the calendar doesn't exactly line up with this time last year. But what I will say is around this moment prior to conference last year was shaking in my boots, trembling, so many questions about what was going to happen. Could it happen the way that God had done it in the past? Could it be more difficult?

Was I right or was this the gathering for people to see the end? My thoughts toxic, but then there was this resting. I knew the moment that I walked out on the platform that God was with me. I questioned it all through the planning, all through the interviews. I had the wondering, the anxiety, but the moment I stepped out there,

I felt in my spirit, I can do this. I want to share that message with you from last year's Woman Evolved because this year, I'm recording this a little early. It's not exactly when you're listening to it, but I wonder where I am right now. I wonder if the assurance from last year has carried me into this year. I wonder if I'm back at square one, afraid, nervous, excited, anxious, anxious.

expecting and in need of God? I don't know. And I can't wait to unpack with you wherever I land. But for now, I want to show you how things were last year at Woman Evolved 2023. Let's listen to this message. Woman Evolved, make some noise in this place. Grateful to finally be here at 2023. Woman Evolved, we doing stadiums now? Make some noise in here.

I don't even know what to say. Thank you for coming. Thank you for trusting the grace and the anointing that God has placed on my life. I felt so strongly as we were planning and preparing for this moment that there was a glory cloud over this stadium.

And I felt like God was telling me that when the right women came into this room, that God was going to release a glory like never before. And that glory was so thick that we could feel it even when the room was empty.

And so I want to do something crazy. I just want to take 10 seconds and lift up a praise to God for what he has allowed to happen in this room. I know we still got two or three more days left, but I want us to start praising God in advance.

like the cancer is out of the body, like our hearts have been healed, like our worship makes a difference. I want us to take about 10 seconds and thank God in advance for breakthrough. I want us to take about 10 seconds and thank

There are women in this room and you carry breakthroughs

And sometimes we come to see the anointing that's on someone else's life. Not realizing that the anointing we see on someone else's life is actually a reflection of the anointing that is on your life. And I came here to let you know that this is not my moment. This is our moment. This is when we serve the enemy notice. That you should have took me out when you had the chance. But I didn't make it.

and messed around and got in an environment where I can give birth to who God has called me to be. Somebody's getting ready to push in this place and I hear God saying, this time when you push, it's not going to break you. This time when you push, it's going to push you into the next dimension. It's going to push you into your destiny. It's going to push you

And it's gonna push every generation connected to you. I don't know about you, but I feel like there's some world changers in this room. I don't know about you, but I feel like somebody's going to war for their great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,

For the women in this room who had to be in this room. For some people it was optional. But there are some women, it is not convenient for them to be in this room. But I'm asking God for something so inconvenient that I had to show God, I'll go out of my way to make room for the thing I'm praying for. I'll go out of my way to make room for the generations connected to me.

I got a word for you. It's in Esther 4, verse 10. I'm going to tell y'all something on the floor. All the oil is in the balcony. Y'all better hope it might hit up there first and then it's going to hit the floor. Is that right? Oil on the floor. I don't know. Is it? Okay. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God, for predestined moments. Thank you for constantly being one time.

I have to tell you that this has been the most intimidating thing that I have ever done. I was intimidated up until about an hour and a half ago. Child. Because God just be doing stuff and you just be like, okay, but then when it's time to do it, you be like, wait a minute, wait a minute. I wasn't ready. I just want to thank my husband who's been my covering throughout this process, Pastor Trey.

What a gift you are to me. I love you tremendously. Thank you so much. And my parents, Bishop and First Lady, thank you so much for your love and gifts. I don't see... Oh, there they are. Okay, so listen. I'm going to say this and I'm going to get into my word, right?

Woman Evolved started, it was 2017 and there were a few crazy people in 2018 who was like, "I'll go, it's never been before." Some of them, they're still in the room. They said, "We'll go, we've never been before. We'll see what happens. Hey, girl." And I was in the kitchen frying chicken and I was like, "I have this idea for a conference." But, you know, I didn't have any resources for it. It didn't really make any sense on paper and it felt like a little different.

So I told my children first, and one, it's cheap labor. You know, like, because I've already invested so much into them. But I told them, I have this idea for a conference, but I can't do it by myself. I can't afford to hire anyone. Would you all serve alongside me in making this happen? This room you're standing in right now was built on the backs of my six children who are in the room, and I just don't want to go any further. Thank you.

Without taking the time to thank you all for your sacrifice, for your love, for serving, for showing up. I can't do that with y'all right now, but just know this moment would not be possible if it wasn't for you all. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I don't see all of, I see Kenzie right there. I don't know where Kai is. Oh, there he is. Kai, hey baby. But

Rin, Taya, Isaiah, Ty, Brittany, you in it now. I want to thank you guys so much for all that you sacrifice sharing us with the world. I know it's not easy. I had to do it myself. But you all have stayed honoring. You have stayed close to me. And being a PK is not easy. But I'm telling you right now that the same people who have my back have your back too.

Same people and we're loving and covering and praying over you every step of the way And so I thank you so much. Okay had to do that This is not an acceptance speech. This ain't the Academy Awards, but I had to thank my family Okay, here we go Esther 4 verse 10. I love you too girl. I love you, too. I am My subject for tonight is take your form Take your form

And I'm talking about Esther at a time in scripture where her people are under persecution. And as a result of them being under persecution, her cousin comes to her, her cousin Mordecai, and says to her, you should do something about this. And he says that she should do something about this because she is in a position as queen to make a difference with the king.

And her goal is that the king, his goal is that she would say something to the king that would change his mind about persecuting her people. It's really not the king who actually wants to persecute them, but his right hand man. And when we find her in the scripture, she's battling with the reality that she is thrust into a role that she's not exactly sure she can sacrifice in order to accomplish.

She's questioning herself. And God gave me insight on this. I want to share it. It begins, it says, then Esther spoke to Hathak and gave him a command for Mordecai.

All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king who has not been called, he has but one law put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go into the king these 30 days.

So they told Mordecai Esther's words and Mordecai told them to answer Esther, do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place. But you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom

for such a time as this. Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, "Go gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan and fast for me, neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law, and if I perish, I perish."

So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him. Spirit of the living God, thank you. Thank you for seeing. Thank you for knowing. Thank you for pushing. Thank you for staying. Thank you for being consistent in every way. Now, God, you got me into this. And I know you have a plan for why it's me and why it's here and why it's them. So I lay myself down, my fears down.

my nerves, my insecurities. And I ask that the spirit of God would stand tall in me. I thank you God for every woman in this room. Thank you for every scar and every dream, for every hope and every hurt. I truly believe that you make all things work together for our good. And so God, I'm praying that this would be a mechanical moment where you take the good, the bad, the ugly,

and you work it all together until the only thing that's left is anointing. Have your way in this place, great God, that you are. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen and amen again. Amen. Hey, Cora. Y'all show my sister some love. She's in that building too. Shout. If don't nobody shout, Cora gonna shout. Try me if you want to. I'm gonna have me an amen corner. Okay.

I was doing some research, and one of the things that I was studying was the rise in crime that we have seen in unique ways, not just some of the thefts that we are used to, but specifically, I noticed that there's been a rise in crime in catalytic converters on cars. If you guys are on TikTok, you know about this, because there's the Kia boys. I don't know. I don't want to shout out. No gangs out here, but...

People who were literally taking the catalytic converters out of cars.

And it's really interesting that they chose to take this particular part out of a car because the thing about this is that this essential part of an engine's function is to take the harmful, toxic fumes that the engine creates, put it in this catalytic converter, which transforms it into something less harmful before it releases into the earth.

It was a part of the Clean Air Act when they started this, having this essential part of the car because they recognized that if the fumes that came from the engine went right into the earth, there would be a pollution problem.

The reason why people are stealing these catalytic converters though is not necessarily because they just want to see the earth deteriorate. It's that they understand that there is a value placed inside the catalytic converter. There is an essential substance inside the catalytic converter that creates the very transaction that turns it into steam that makes it valuable.

That substance is platinum or rhodium and this chemical is called a catalyst. In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being consumed during the reaction.

The catalyst inside the catalytic converter can be exposed to as much harmful pollution ever and still not change its form. That's the whole point of it being the catalyst is that it can withstand the type of exposure that most substances cannot. I think this is probably what scripture means when it says to be in the world but not of it.

When you're in the world but not of the world, you can be exposed to everything that's happening in the world, but not let what's happening in the world change you. In order for any of us to consider what it must be like in order to be a catalyst, we have to understand that we must be intentional about never being consumed in processes that might be harmful. God help me.

Oftentimes, when we are exposed to disappointment, we are exposed to betrayal, we are exposed to abandonment, we are exposed to other people's failure, it's not just that what they did hurt us. The real weapon is what happens when we can no longer maintain our form because of what they did.

We think to ourselves that because this form made me vulnerable, I'll never take on that form again. The hardest thing that any of us will ever have to do is dare to maintain our form in the midst of what's taking place in our world. I think that's what makes God so powerful. That's how we know that God is the ultimate catalyst.

Because no matter what we have exposed him to, he doesn't change his form.

The thing that makes God's faithfulness so powerful is that his faithfulness remained in the face of our betrayal. The thing that makes his glory so glorious is that his glory remained in the face of our debauchery. God is the ultimate catalyst because he knows how to still be God even when we're being whoever life has changed us into becoming. When we start talking about him being an on

an on-time God, we're not talking about a God who was on time one time. We're not talking about a God who was on time two times. We're talking about a God who is in his character

always on time. God says, I wish I could be late. It's just not in me. All I can do is be on time. It's who I am. When you call me, I respond because at the end of the day, I don't know how to ignore you. Your parents may ignore you. Your friends may not get you, but God says, no matter where you are, no matter how dark that place is, I know how to come. I know how to be there because it's just who I am. I am that I am. I am the one that you

need in the middle of the night. I am the one that you need in the middle of that heartbreak and I have not changed my form. You see, it would take testimony service for us to really go into the reality that God has not changed his form even when we change our form. We see him changing sometimes his expression, but he never changes his form. Sometimes I change the way I show up, but I'm not changing that I'm showing up. If you're in a season and you're wondering where God is, I hear God saying, you may be looking

looking for the way that I showed up yesterday, but I brought you here so that you could open up your eyes to see how I could be showing up right now. I hear God saying that somebody's already gotten a revelation that they can worship in a way that they never thought even possible. They thought the breakthrough was coming on Saturday, but I hear God saying, no, I'm getting ready to give you breakthrough on a Thursday night. You could be a fool if you want to and wait until the conference is over, but if you get a revelation,

that I haven't changed my form, then I can help you get back in form. There are some women in this room and I hear God saying that you are not in the form that

that God has left you in, but you're moving into a season where the only way that you can get anything done is if you get back to the form. Who am I in that form? In that form, I believe I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. In that form, I believe no weapon formed against me will prosper. That weapon formed, but it didn't change my form because I understand that no weapon formed against me will prosper. In that form,

I prophesy. In that form, I rebuke the devil. In that form, I believe that though he slay me, yet shall I trust in him. In that form, I believe

I believe that I can decree a thing in the earth and it will be established in that form. I believe I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. And that form, I believe I am a part of a royal priesthood and that form, you better not mess with my child and that form, you better get up off my baby. And that form, I don't care how many women are in the room. I understand that God's glory can fall no matter where I am sitting. Somebody came to woman evolved to get back and

There's a form that you've been flirting with. But I hear God saying, by the time this is over, you're going to step all the way into that form. I hear God saying, you've been playing with it. But I'm getting ready to push you into it. Because you got a form you got to take.

Because if you don't take it, the world doesn't change. If you don't take it, the kingdom is not established. If you don't take it, then we can't rebuke a devil. If we don't take it, then we can't get rid of a generational curse. If you don't take it, generational, I got to put pressure on you. And I know you're tired.

And I know you're stressed, but maybe you're tired because you're out of form. I hear God saying, if you had the right form, this thing wouldn't break you. If you had the right form, this thing wouldn't shake you. If you had the right form, this thing wouldn't shake you.

And when my daddy started praying for me and did something for me, because it reminded me that my insecurity had got me out of form. When I stepped out here, I wasn't nervous the way I should have been, because I realized that all I was doing was stepping into my form. This ain't everybody's call, baby, but I know it's mine. So I'm stepping into form.

Moments like my daughter telling me a new joke mean a lot to me. But after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, or MBC, which is breast cancer that is spread to other parts of the body, they mean even more. I take Ibrance Palpacyclib.

So relax and let AT&T provide proactive recommendations to help empower your best connected life. I don't know what you're up against, but I hear God saying if you're up against it and

It's because you're qualified to lift it. If you're up against it, it's because you're qualified to push it off of you. I hear God saying, I just need you to get your heart right. I just need you to get your life right. And that's why the enemy has tried to make it hard for you to get back into full.

That's why the enemy has tried to make it hard for you to lift your hands in worship That's why the devil didn't want you in this room because when a woman gets in position She doesn't just shake up her world. She shakes up If our God is a catalyst and we can recognize that and we are made in the image of God That means that we ought to be catalysts, too

Which means what happens in the garden was meant to rob us of the knowledge of our identity. Because if you can be robbed of the knowledge of your identity, then you will never be made in the image of God the way you were supposed to.

and you'll start questioning who God is in the first place. But thank God for Jesus, because everything that the enemy meant for evil, Jesus says, I'm going to come and move some things out of the way, not just so that you can have church, but so that you can establish the kingdom everywhere that you go. The enemy tried to get you out of form, but God says, I'm not. I'm so committed to who they are.

That I had a backup plan just in case they got out of four. I don't know who you are But I hear God saying I got a backup plan for the area where you are this formed that area that area Where you lost your form? I got a backup plan for that That backup plan his name is Jesus that backup plan

is the model that shows you how to take on the very form

that will allow you to be made in the image of God so that you can be the catalyst that you were called to be. What is a catalyst? A catalyst is a chemical reaction that allows you to be exposed to harmful situations but still maintain your form. And it's not just that, it also accelerates the process. I came here to let somebody know that when you step into your form, I don't care how long it's taking you to get in that form,

that God says there is acceleration connected to you getting back in form. I want to take 10 seconds and talk to somebody who feels like they've lost that on time. I want to take 10 seconds and talk to somebody who feels like their best days are behind them. And I came here to tell you that when you take your form, that God's going to accelerate and everything you touch is going

Somebody say acceleration. Say it again.

Say it again. Say it again. Say it again. I hear God saying, I'm going to do in three days what you couldn't get done in 30 years. Somebody say accelerate. I'm going to do in three days what your mother couldn't do. Somebody say accelerate. I'm going to do in three days what you thought was going to take five years. Somebody say accelerate. I'm going to do in three days what your mother couldn't do.

I really have six pages of notes here, but we didn't come to stay on program. So I'm going to tell you that I believe God gave me Esther for such a time as this.

Because when Esther finds herself thrust into a situation where she must choose between being a catalyst and just surviving, she finds herself torn between the two. See, because the reality is that sometimes we find a way to be at peace even if we aren't in truth. We call it peace, but in reality, we've just learned to live without confronting the truth.

And what Esther is afraid of is that if she steps into this vulnerable position of being a catalyst, that it will require her to no longer be in hiding. Yeah. We get comfortable in relationships and opportunities, and we call it peace, but it's not really peace. It's just us shrinking our truth.

And yet the only way that Esther can really step into this moment that God is requiring her to step into is if she is willing to betray what has made her comfortable. If she's willing to betray what has allowed her to hide and instead own the fullness of not just her truth, but God's truth about why she is positioned there. God gave her the gift of beauty.

that would strategically place her in a position not to just be seen and looked at, but to be a change agent. Sometimes God gives you a gift as a disguise for the ministry that he actually wants to see you accomplish in the earth. And when she has to choose between being a catalyst or just surviving, she has to make the decision to come out of the hiding that has consumed her. When God gave me this,

He showed me how easy it is for us to be consumed by something that keeps us from being the catalyst that we need to be. You wouldn't know it because we're all in this room together. But in this room, there are some women who have been consumed by some things. They are so consumed that the idea of being a catalyst seems incomprehensible.

Consumed by doubt. Consumed by loneliness. Consumed by worry. Consumed has become such a part of their identity that the very idea of coming out and not being afraid. There are some people, and I've been one of them, that are so consumed that they don't even trust that if God calls them out that he'll also cover them because they have been uncovered in the past.

so consumed that consumed has been their identity longer or maybe the only identity that they have ever possessed. So when I talk about being a catalyst, it feels foreign to them.

The catalyst that can break that generational curse. The catalyst that can change the way things are done in your industry. The catalyst that can write that book. By a catalyst, I'm talking about your form doesn't change, but also that there is an acceleration on a process. That means that there are women in this room who are not just called to accelerate the process, but are also called to be accelerators in someone else's process. I wish I could say that a little bit better.

But I hear God saying, as long as you are consumed, you cannot be the catalyst that your sister needs. If we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony, but we're so consumed by the shame of our testimony, we're not just keeping ourselves from overcoming. I'm keeping my neighbor from overcoming too. And the enemy likes it just like that. Because when you are consumed, you are self-focused and self-conscious. But when you

When you are a catalyst, you are God-focused and God-conscious. You start saying things like, God, I don't know why you did it, but I'm going to step into it anyway because I want to match your effort. God, if you're calling me to be a catalyst in my family, then I'm going to step into this moment and you may be the only catalyst that your family sees. That's how that works. When you're a catalyst, it's lonely and it feels like it's just you.

God shakes up Esther's definition of peace for the sake of purpose, and he puts pressure on her.

because he recognizes that the pressure is not meant to break her. The pressure is meant to push her into a posture where she begins to seek God for what she is supposed to do. I don't know who you are in this room. Maybe you have been experiencing pressure after pressure, but I came here to let you know that that pressure is not meant to break you. That pressure is not

meant to shame you. That pressure is meant to force you onto your knees. That pressure is meant to get you into rooms like this where you start making a demand from God, where you start saying, God, I feel like there's something going on in my life and I don't know how I am supposed to take form and I don't know how I'm supposed to step up to the plate. But God, because I feel this pressure, I'm going to fast and pray until the vision is clear in front of me. I

had women in this room fasting for 40 days, I knew not everyone else was going to do it, but I knew if I got just a few women to fast before they came into this room, that we could do enough heavy lifting for the women who didn't fast, that we could put her in a position too where she got clarity from God.

about who she is supposed to be in this season. And Esther begins to pray and she begins to fast, but she does not do it on her own. She asked Mordecai to gather my people and have my people start fasting and praying on my behalf. And she says, and I'm going to gather

ladies and we're going to fast and pray as well and in three days I'll tell you what we're going to do in three days I'll tell you what God has decided is the next path I believe that God gave me this text because there are some women in

this room who are going to get an answer from God in three days. In three days, God's going to give you an answer about who you are to be in the earth. God's going to give you an answer. God's going to give you a healing. God's going to give you a breakthrough. God's going to give you deliverance because she was not just praying for position. Esther was praying for deliverance. God

know who is in this room but somebody's got the weight of deliverance on their shoulders and they cannot do it on their own but we serve a God of acceleration and because we serve a God of acceleration that same God that allowed the walls of Jericho to come down with the shaft that same God that dried up the blood for that woman in eight

She had an issue in one touch. Everything changed. You can't tell me we don't serve a God of acceleration. I'll accelerate what the doctor couldn't do. I'll accelerate what a war couldn't do. And I hear God saying there are women in this room who are going to be deliverers. And as many women are in this room, I want you to know that you are just a seed compared to who God wants you to be.

we leave this place the earth will have no choice but to shake because there is a catalyst coming out of globe life field that's going to shake up the globe for the glory of God no wonder it had to be you no wonder it had to be now no wonder it needed to be here because I wanted you to get a view of just how crazy I am says God I wanted you to see

Just how fast I flipped the script. I wanted you to understand just how fast you can go from uncertain to taking your form. I want you to see just how fast I can move on your behalf. She had generations on her shoulder and God says, I'm going to give you the manual for how you don't just walk yourself out, but how you take your form in such a way. Oh God, help me.

How you take your form in such a way that I protect you while I expose you. I'm going to show you how to take your form in such a way that you don't have to betray yourself in order to step into it. I'm going to show you how to take your form in such a way that you're going to be having generations on your shoulders and the generations won't even know that you're in a position to help them. That you were in a position and you took it seriously. I hear God saying...

That you got to take this deliverance seriously. And you cannot be someone who delivers if you are still in bondage. And Esther knew before she could step before the king and own her truth that she was going to need some backup in the spirit realm. And that backup in the spirit realm was meant to help her step into it without drawing back.

don't know who stepped into something and you ended up drawing back because you felt like you didn't have what it takes and you felt like you didn't know if heaven was backing you up but I hear God saying I want to give you another chance to step into position but this time I don't want you to step into it as that old version of who you are I don't know who you are in this place but maybe this is actually a funeral for who you used to be maybe this is actually a funeral for that

old way of being come out come out wherever you are come out come out wherever you are I hear God saying it's time for some women to come out of hiding so that I can establish your family in a way that eyes haven't seen

in a way that ears haven't heard. And I just want you to know that God's got the right woman in the right city, in the right room to shake up heaven on your behalf and to make sure that hell understands that you should have took her out when you had the chance. But this woman has messed around and she has survived and she has lived

She has lived to praise Him another day. She has lived to worship Him another day. And every time she worships, God makes an exchange. And every time He makes an exchange, it gets her into form. You thought she was just singing a song. I hear God saying, "No, baby, I was getting you into form." You thought she was just lifting your hands. God said, "No, baby, I was getting you into form."

Something happens. Something happens when I worship. Something happens when I pray. Something happens when I get in a room with thousands of other women. That depression backs up off of me. The anxiety backs up off of me. I start feeling freedom down in my bones. I start feeling...

I start feeling like one can chase 1,000 and two of us can chase 10,000 and maybe, just maybe, we can turn this thing. Deliverance. Deliverance. Deliverance is contagious. That's why you gotta check your road.

Because if you see deliverance somewhere on your road, I just want you to know you better watch out. Because in a minute, that deliverance that's on your road is going to overflow. And it's not just going to touch you. It's going to touch your house. It's going to touch your job. It's going to go back into your past.

that little girl and it's gonna go into your future and deliver that destiny. Loose here devil. Loose that woman and let her go. Maybe woman that weren't loose ain't over. Maybe we about to be loose again. Deliverance. Deliverance. In the name of Jesus.

I'm ready for deliverance from my mind. I'm ready for deliverance from my trauma. I'm ready for deliverance from this generational curse. I'm ready for deliverance from a curse. God says, as loud as you open your mouth, I'll fill it. If you really want some deliverance, you better let God know. I want to be delivered from the bondage of me.

I want to be delivered from the bondage of my mother. I want to be delivered from the bondage of my father. I want to be delivered from the bondage of the culture. And I plead the blood of Jesus over every stronghold. I plead the blood of Jesus over every chain. I plead the blood of Jesus over

every disease. I plead the blood of Jesus over your children, over your finances. We came for deliverance and deliverance is what we gonna get. Cause I refuse to let you go until you bless me.

I won't let you go until you bless me. I didn't come to Arlington, Texas to go back in this same bondage. God, give him a taste of freedom right now. God, give him a taste of breakthrough right now. God, give him a taste of freedom. Give him a taste of worship. Give him a taste of power. Give him a taste of anointing. Give it to him. I want to give you... I want to give you...

A wave of deliverance that no one has seen in your bloodline. I want to give you a wave of deliverance that changes the way you see that marriage. I want to give you a wave of deliverance that changes the way you see your worth. I want to give you a wave of deliverance that changes what happened to you. I know they touched you. I know they hurt you. I know they broke you, but I hear God saying, I want to deliver you from the

Deliverance is when the enemy

has to lose his whole deliverance is when you get the revelation that he has a power because you gave it to him.

Maybe deliverance is not us waiting for God to do something. Maybe real deliverance is us getting a revelation that what we're waiting on is already done. God's just waiting on us to step into it. And I hear God saying you may have to step into it by faith that nothing in your circumstance may look like what he's calling you out to.

But I hear God saying step into it anyway. I don't know why I keep getting drawn to this section. But I feel like there's somebody over here who's going to get a breakthrough tonight. I hear God saying that there's a woman over here. That if she releases that yell, that it's going to send the devil scurrying over. Is it over here? Is it in the balcony? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? There's one woman that's holding that.

♪♪ ♪♪

Thank you.

Okay.

This is fun. I'm gonna stop fooling with y'all because we're gonna have a tent revival. I'm gonna come over here where we're gonna have deliverance service. That's gonna be the tent revival. This is gonna be the deliverance service. Balcony, you got testimony service? Because in a minute we're gonna send some devils chasing here in a minute. This isn't in my text. I've been studying Esther for months now. But I noticed that when the fasting and the prayer was over...

and she finally steps into the position, she finally takes her form. That she doesn't just go up to the enemy, she doesn't just go up to the king and say this is what's going to happen. Instead she invites him to a feast, her feast. She creates an atmosphere. That's why the enemy will always be after our worship. That's why the enemy will always convince us that our prayer has no power.

Because your prayer creates an atmosphere. Your worship creates an atmosphere. And she doesn't have enough courage to step up to them yet. But she has enough reality to know that if I set an atmosphere, that devil will have to fight me on my own.

I don't know who you are, but I hear God saying that every time you lift your hands in worship That's just setting an atmosphere. I may not know how to shake the depression, but the depression is gonna have to live in my worship I don't know what's gonna happen with that marriage, but that marriage is gonna have to live in my worship I don't know what's gonna happen with that child But that child's gonna have to live in my atmosphere because I will not live in that atmosphere

Into the atmosphere that my worship creates I'm not ready to make a decision yet. I'm just ready to create an atmosphere of

I'm not ready to make a change yet. I'm just ready to create an atmosphere. I'm not ready to walk out. I'm just ready to create an atmosphere. I'm not ready to open my mouth. I'm just ready to create an atmosphere. And God says, if you create an atmosphere, that that

that is the type of recipe that allows greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. That becomes your portion because you're not just creating an atmosphere for you. You're creating an atmosphere for what God wants to do. So we start saying things like God,

like God have your way. So we start saying things like God I don't know how it's going to work out but I know you're going to work it out. We start saying things like you are a way maker. You are Jehovah Jireh. You are Jehovah Nisi. You are the king of kings and the Lord of Lords. It sounds crazy to everyone else but to me I know I'm creating an atmosphere. I want to give you 10 seconds before we go home to create an atmosphere in this place.

'Cause we got cancer to drive out of here. 'Cause we got a destiny to release. 'Cause we got businesses to build. We got children to raise. We got a world to change. We got grief to shake off of us. And we cannot do it in our own might, in our own power, but by your spirit, Lord. Your spirit is, your spirit is all the atmosphere I need. Over.

The next three days, we're going to create an atmosphere for you. But our atmosphere can only be as powerful as the atmosphere you create. Every now and then, the accelerator needs someone to help accelerate them. What we have done in combining these speakers and curating this worship is not meant for you to just have a good time.

It is meant to activate you into being a catalyst that accelerates not just the gift of God that's on your life, but helps you to become an accelerator for every person connected to you. When we see the apostles in Acts and they see the lame man by the gate called beautiful, he's asking for one thing because he's given up on the possibility of healing.

And yet they recognize that because they have been in relationship with Jesus, the accelerator, that they have something to offer him that will accelerate him in an area that he had given up on. With one touch, they give him a healing that he wasn't even asking for anymore. Before we go, I want you to just put your hand on the woman closest next to you. The power of acceleration often happens through touch.

The woman with the issue of blood, one touch. 18 years with an issue, one touch changed everything. In this room, there are many, many issues represented. And yet, the reality is that when you are in relationship with Jesus, it doesn't matter how many times you lose your form. As long as you're still here, you can get back to that form.

Life has this crazy way of changing us before we can change it. And we have these little girl dreams of what could one day happen and we give up on them little by little because life changes us and tricks us into believing that we are not a catalyst. But I see in scripture multiple times when God got ready to do something in the earth that he used a woman as a catalyst.

Mary, a catalyst. Sarah, a catalyst. Ruth, a catalyst. Women with no names at all serving as a catalyst for what God wanted to do. Esther, a catalyst. Tanya, a catalyst. Jessica, a catalyst. Jennifer, a catalyst. Dr. Anita, a catalyst. I don't know who you're touching, but that woman is a catalyst.

Life has tried to change her form and life was successful. Life was successful. It changed her. But with one touch, with one person seeing her, hearing her,

telling her you can still be an accelerator. You can still be a catalyst. God still has use for you. God is not here trying to mock you and have you watching everyone else make it to the other side while you stay stuck. That's not the God that I serve. He loves you too much to leave you in this form, this deformity, this deformity because someone dropped you, because someone couldn't pour into you, because someone couldn't raise you,

wouldn't raise you. You've been deformed, but healing can be accelerated. And I don't want to wait until next year, until 10 years down the road for you to get a healing you can get tonight. So before we go, I'm not just going to ask God to give you the healing you think you need. I'm going to ask God to give you the healing that he knows you need. Because if we get that healing first,

Maybe the thing we're calling a sickness is actually the ministry. Maybe if we get that healing first, the thing we think has deformed us is actually the thing that's going to propel us. What if we're asking God to heal the wrong thing? I know you want him to heal the marriage, but what if he wants to heal you first? I know you want him to heal the finances, but what if he wants to heal the family first? What if he wants to heal your mind so you deal with the money differently? What if he wants to heal your child so that they can break?

the generational curse? What if he wants to heal your mother so that she can be the type of mother that you always needed? What if he wants to heal the industry so that it's ready for you when you walk into it? Maybe we're asking God to heal what would make us feel better, but he wants to heal the thing that will allow us to take our form. Touching that woman. If at all possible, no woman untouched. Take a minute and put weight on her shoulder. Holy Spirit,

May she feel you working through the hand of that woman who's touching her. God, the hand is on her shoulder, but let her feel it in her heart. The hand is on her shoulder, but let her feel it in her stomach. That hand that's on her shoulder, God. May she feel it on her back, pushing her forward. Holy Ghost, Jesus, I plead the blood of Jesus over this sister.

The blood that can fill every empty place and bring it back to form. The blood that says in our weakness, his strength is made perfect. That's the kind of blood of Jesus I'm pleading over this woman.

Some of them we know, some of them we've come from all over the world, but for some reason you have set them by one another. God, in your infinite wisdom, I'm asking that that woman beside her would become the nurse that walks her into the recovery room. I plead the blood of Jesus over her heart. I plead the blood of Jesus over her mind. And I say, enemy, what you planted in her years ago,

I uproot it right now in the name of Jesus. The thoughts that are in her mind, making her believe that she has no worth, making her believe that she has no value. I rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus. I decree freedom over this woman. I declare victory over this woman. Stir up the gift of God that's on the inside of her. Let rivers of living water spring forth out of her belly. Holy Ghost, we give you full protection.

permission to use our hand as your anointed vessel to bring this woman back into her future, to bring this woman out of her past, to bring this woman out of shame and we decree and declare right now in the name of Jesus that this woman is just getting started. We decree and declare right now in the name of Jesus that she's stepping into her destiny. I thank you God that her mind is coming back. I thank

Thank you God that her hope is coming back. Thank you God that her strength is coming back. I thank you God that creativity is coming back. I thank you God that she's gonna be more anointed than she ever thought possible. And I thank you God that when she opens her mouth,

she will prophesy. So I prophesy in advance that this woman will see nothing but victory. I prophesy in advance that no weapon formed against her will prosper. I prophesy in advance that the doctor's report is wrong. I prophesy in advance that

the book is a bestseller. I prophesy in advance that the children are saved. I prophesy in advance that her heart is being mended. I prophesy in advance that that marriage is going to be restored. I prophesy in advance that shame has to let her go. I prophesy in advance that she's going to live again, that she's going to breathe

again that she's going to walk again and that she will declare the works of the lord and i thank you for preserving her not just right now but i thank you for the hedge of protection around her i prophesy god

the weapons come that she will see the weapon for what it is and she will say I will not lose my form regardless of what's taking place I prophesy I know we gotta go but I prophesy in advance that her children will raise up and call her blessed I prophesy to that womb that babies will spring forth I prophesy to that heart that her heart will flourish like never before I prophesy in this place

That she's going to release a sound like this earth has never seen. That she's going to release a sound. So unleash her mouth. Unleash her mouth. Just want to hear a sound of a woman releasing her mouth. The book's not released. The money's not released. But I hear God saying your sound is a magnet. If you release your sound, he'll release his sound. The day of Pentecost.

This is the opening night not of woman evolve. This is your opening night and as you open yourself up I'm telling you the tools the teachers the resources that God has allowed to converge in this space is

It's going to radically open your eyes and bless you and transform you and chisel away at the hardness that made you lose your form. The most powerful thing you can bring into this room is all of who you are, your fears and your faith. You don't have to pretend here. If you bring all of you, God says, I can bring all of myself. If I bring all of myself, I'll show you how to work what he's given you.

So Holy Spirit, we dedicate this meeting to you. If there's anyone in this room, can I just do this real fast? And you don't know Jesus, but you want to know him. Can you wave at me? I just want to make sure that when I pray, I cover you. Ain't no shame in your game. If you're here and you're like, I need to rededicate my life. That's the first step to me taking form. Can you wave at me?

I see you. Just wave at me. Just wave at me. Ain't nobody judging in here. This is not a room full of people who've done everything the right way. Just wave at me. Now, can you help me celebrate my sisters who are getting back in form?

Holy Spirit, I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for making him who had no sin. All of my weakness, all of my limitations, you put in his body and you nailed it to the cross. And when you nailed it to the cross, God, you also nailed my sins and my shame. But when he was raised up, I was raised up too. Free and victorious. And because he was raised up,

I'm taking my place too. And because I'm taking my place, I'm bringing a generation of women with me. So God, we ask that you allow this room, these women to take their form like never before. And as we open our hearts to what is in this room, God, help us to not miss one thing that you have for us. May we find it in the concourse. May we fill it in the hotels. May we experience it on our row.

Because the greatest speaker that's in this house is the woman sitting right next to you. So do me a favor and just tell that woman, thank you for being with me tonight.

I hope I get to see you tomorrow. But if not, just know I'm going to see you on the front line because I just got back in position. And because I just got back in position, I think I'm going to chase a few devils with you. Because I just got back in position, I think we're going to serve hell notice together. Woman Evolve, I love you, baby. Evolve.

You could sit there and listen to ads, or you could take a moment to have a Diet Coke break. First, grab a chilled Diet Coke, because if you want it to be perfect, it needs to be crispy. Next, get a big cup of ice, because everyone knows Diet Coke is best served swimming in ice.

Then sip it slowly, feel that burn and enjoy your break for as long as possible. When you need a break, don't forget to grab an ice cold Diet Coke and take a Diet Coke break.
