Keion Henderson - A Breakout Spirit

The Lord told me to talk today about the breakout spirit. You 've got to get a spirit that, even when your money is locked up, even when your relationship is in trouble, can get you out of trouble no matter the circumstance you’re in. Who am I preaching to today? High five three people and tell them, «A breakout spirit! A breakout spirit!» You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Let 's break out then! Yeah, yeah!

So our text today is the final scene in a two-part series. Let me give you about five minutes ' worth of background, and then we’ll get into the message and be done. The scene of 1 Kings records the death of Israel’s greatest king. This particular king went from a little shepherd boy, forgotten by his father, nearly assassinated by his mentor, to the conqueror of Jerusalem. You know what his name is? David. David is the king! If you read his entire story, you’ll know that throughout his life, David is talked about when he was anointed by the prophet. But can I share something with you? For some of you, you may know this, but for those who are learning like me, did you know that David was actually anointed three times?

Yes! The first time, the one we most know about or talk about, is when Samuel came to the house of Jesse. Just check your head if you’re with me so far. He came to the house of Jesse, remember? He was looking for a king, and his father had left him in the field. But he brought all his other sons out and said, «Pick one of these.» The prophet didn’t see anything in David; his father overlooked him. The prophet came and said, «None of the choices you gave me match my spirit. God sent me here looking for something specific, and I haven’t found it in what you presented. Do you have another son?» He said, «Yeah, I’ve got one out in the field.» He said, «Show him to me.» He went into the field and said, «That 's the one!»

I’m just telling you right now: some of you are going to be picked, and nobody knows it yet. Nobody knows it yet; you’re the next manager! Nobody knows you yet; you’re the next supervisor! Why? Because you’re somewhere out in the field, somewhere making minimum wage, somewhere struggling, barely making it, somewhere on a fixed income, somewhere without an education, somewhere with a GED. You’re just struggling. But God says, «I don’t care where you started; it ain’t where you started, it’s where you’re going to finish!»

So that’s the anointing that most of us know about. Remember, Saul was anointed by Samuel out of a flask; David was anointed out of a horn. Saul was the king that the people chose; David was the king that God chose. A flask is a man-made object. The reason why Saul was anointed out of a flask, a man-made object, is because God says, «You made them; you anoint them.» The horn comes from an animal-only God can create an animal. So the reason why God allows the oil to fall from the horn onto David is because God said, «I called him; I’ll anoint him,» and you can’t use a man-made object to anoint my decision. Does that make sense?

So that’s his first anointing, but he has another anointing. After he becomes king, or is anointed as king, God doesn’t give him the whole kingdom. For seven years, he was only king over Judah-that was his second anointing. After those seven years, God gave him Jerusalem-that was the third anointing.

Let me just talk for about 30 seconds right here. See, when God gives most of us Judah, we think we have everything He has to offer. But if you stay faithful, God says, «What I’ve just given you now is only going to get you by for seven years. What I have for you next will take you for the rest of your life.» I don’t even know who this is for, but you ain’t seen big yet! Just tell your neighbor, «You ain’t seen big yet! You don’t even know what a blessing is yet! That stuff you have right there is just an appetizer; you haven’t even had the meal!»

That 's just bread and lettuce; you haven’t even had the steak! That 's just an appetizer, just to hold you over until the meal gets to the table. That job you have is an appetizer. Come on! That paycheck you have is an appetizer. It ain 't nothing but egg rolls! You don’t have what God has for you yet; it’s about to be bigger than you’ve ever imagined in your life!

Oh, that ain’t your dream car! You better raise your dreams! You ain’t in your dream house yet! Are you serious? You haven’t done enough to get to your dream house yet! It was only big because of how small you started. But now that you got it, now you recognize how easy it was. God is about to do something on another level. That 's your rent house; that’s your starter house! That 's your beginning season. That ain’t where you’re going to end up! But God says, «I’ve got to give you a breakout spirit, because when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up!»

Somebody shout, «Lord, I’m raising my standards!» Don 't y’all make me start right there, because some of y’all need to raise your standards! That ain’t even in…
