“When Satan can’t tempt you he breaks your heart” 🔥🔥🔥

[lebogangmogoane]

"The enemy uses where you are wounded as a trigger to activate self sabotaging behavior"

[lovefelix]

Fight your enemies with integrity and uprightness and high character

[her.radiantlove]

This is COMPLETELY true!! I healed once I realized it had to happen!! 
Nothing would have moved me towards my destiny if I didn't go through it. 
Don't be mad about it!! This pain is revealing your purpose!! This purpose will pay off, I can tell you that much!
There is light at the end of the tunnel! Don't give up! 
Thank you for the confirmation Jerry! Beautiful, God breathed sermon!

[tarajohnson]

“Stop being mad at who helped you develop…” whew 😅 an entire sermon just from there!!! Thank you God for using Pastor Flowers 💐

[myrandomrants]

“You see yourself out of your *condition* (flaws, weaknesses, shortcomings…), Satan sees you by your *position* (world changer, heir, ambassador…)” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Having the correct identity in Christ is sooo key 🙏🏾

[niyavernice]

FATHER,

Give me the character and emotional intelligence to handle my Judas correctly. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

"Haters are elevators. Depending on what level you are on, they will take you up or down. Pay attention to your levels!"

[Fitfor_Expression]

[haitianbeauti]

I needed this!🙌🏾 The fact that this is so impactful 2 years later is a testament that God’s word stands the test of time.
It’s time for me to do the work!

[ChristinaChemhuru]

Friends! I finally got to meet this amazing man and his gorgeous wife last weekend and it was something else! The service was packed and this series delivered! My hostess and friend decided to visit with me and homegirl couldn’t stop talking about it since!

She wants to take her whole family there and establish them to serve in this ministry! If I didn’t live 3 hours away…!

[GodMade]

High character will irritate low critics 👏🏼

[ajanaechristopher]

“ Their comment comes from what they going through than what you did” - to see that someone’s negative words comes from their own troubles and not what you done. They use them to bring you down and change your character but self control can deter it. Don’t allow their words and actions to move you, use what god is trying to show you make you stronger and prevail. Don’t allow the enemy to make you react. Keep calm and not react .

[tinkajameseofficial]

Your spiritual warfare and heartbreaks are hard for you because you see yourself out of your condition: your flaws, your past, what you’ve done, your mistakes, your fall from grace. Satan sees you out of your position: your authority. You’re a world changer, an heir, royalty, peculiar people, you’re a child of The King.

And the reason it gets so hard is because we fight out of our condition, while the enemy is fighting us out of our position. We as a people can fight from our position and not our condition, we’ll stop fighting as a victim but we’ll fight from Victory.

Stop fighting from, is God mad at me, and start fighting from, God loves me. Stop fighting from, am I really forgiven and start fighting from I am forgiven. You get another level of confidence.

[abeekuworldchanger]

"whenever the devil can't get to you, he'll start using people who can."

that can PREACH right there and just land the mark. Its so true. The devil uses people in lir lives tontry to deter us from oir assignment, but dont waiver and stand firm. The reason the attacks come is because hes afraid ofnthe anointing on your life

[TheKianaRoe]

this sermon was ON TIME! Amen! I was crying so hard praying to God & God told me in the mist of me crying to “pick my head up because I’m crying/fighting as if I was defeated” I immediately fixed my posture and put on the armor of God and started claiming victory. my God. This sermon gives me so much clarity. To God be the glory.

[toniaharris]

Why have I been waiting around for this message like the "newest release" device or shoes?!?! I pray billions of people will be in line waiting for the Holy Spirit to release a life-changing WORD like this!!!

It Had to Happen | Destiny Decisions | Part 9 | Jerry Flowers

Being reactive is a sign that you don’t know your value or identity.

Trying to prove your value is proof that you forgot yours.

Their discernment issue is not a receipt of my value.

Their discernment issue is not my identity issue.

Intimacy creates confidence.

The pain hits different when you go from being friends to strangers again.

Matthew 26:47-50

Your Judas is not your enemy, it’s the instrument the enemy is using.

When the enemy can’t get to me, he uses someone who’s already in my circle.

Luke 13:26-27

Friends are instrumental in helping you fulfill your destiny.

It had to happen.

Judas presence is critical because something had to come out of the grave.

They aren’t good at being a best friend candidate but they are good at being the best destiny catalyst. Wow. I needed this. 🥺

I do need to become more mature & disciplined with self control.

Stop being mad at what helped you develop.
They thrust you into purpose.
A catfish keeps you fresh.

FATHER, GIVE ME THE CHARACTER AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TO HANDLE MY JUDAS CORRECTLY.

The most painful and purposeful kiss is a Judas kiss. Understand a persons assignment.

Proverbs 27:6

All kisses aren’t sign of endearment. Some are kisses from your enemy.

When Satan can’t tempt or distract you, he breaks your heart.

Heartbreak is the form of betrayal, rejection, or abandonment.

You sent it to derail me, but it actually propelled me.

You see yourself out of your condition, Satan sees you out of position.

Stop fighting out of being a victim but out of a place of victory.

Your Judas, enemy are instruments that hell uses, God allows it because he knows it’ll promote you into your destiny.

Your next level is gift wrapped in an enemy.
God will promote you once you’ve learned the resistance of retaliating.

Don’t let your tongue loose when your heart is broken. It’s all contingent on how you treat them. Every enemy is an opportunity to level up.

Haters are elevators. They can’t stop you from attaining what’s yours. But your response to them and how you treat them can.

Psalm 25:19-21

Fight with integrity, don’t lose your witness.
High character & integrity will always frustrate low critics.

It won’t make sense while you’re in it.

Don’t attempt to understand the process while you’re in it.

God is the only person that’ll put you in school and you won’t know you’re in school until you graduate. He’s a good teacher because if he’s testing you, he’s already given you the answers & material. It’s not to punish you. You’re capable of achieving this.

One of the worse places you can live is in your feelings.

If serving is beneath you, leadership is beyond you.

The enemy uses where you’re sensitive or wounded as a trigger.

Psalms 23:5

To cut off all your enemies, you forfeit your table.

No enemy, no oil increase.
If you cut them off, you cut off your enemy and your table. This is how God exercises vengeance and increases your anointing, favor, and faithfulness. And show myself strong, good, and holy.

1. Self government - don’t step out of character because they did. Not a doormat, but Christ like. It’s a fruit of the spirit. Spiritually mature. What irritates you?

2. Consistent government

3. I consider the back stage - they are going through something. The comment many times is coming from what they’re going through instead of what you did.

Enemies show up when:

1. You discover your assignment. The reason you have been born. To promote you or hinder.

2. When you get a word. Mark 4:13. One word from God can change your whole life and trajectory of your life forever.

3. Enemies come to make you move.

4. Get you to react.

5. Enemies are promotion in disguise 🥸

You don’t get salvation or resurrection without Judas. What can you do not to win them but to be more kingdom?
