Keion Henderson - Dealing with Distractions - Part 2

I didn’t know it before you confronted me today, but I must admit I’m distracted. I’m distracted; I’m holy but I’m distracted. I go to church online every Sunday, but I’m distracted. I have a Bible on my nightstand, but I’m distracted. And let me tell you something: I’m so good at being distracted. I know how to ask for forgiveness for my distraction. Oh, don’t you better holler at your boy; don’t you sit up there and look at me like I’m just talking to myself! Some of you are distracted, but you know how to pray. You 're distracted, but you know how to repent. So you allow the distractions because you know you have grace. But to every man is given a measure, a measure of grace. How many of y’all say, «I’m distracted»? You ready? Sometimes God will use a person or a situation to escort you out of a thing when you don’t know it’s time to move on. Oh, oh, God help me, help me in this room by myself! I don’t know what to do. The people are gonna think I’m crazy because I’m up here pacing, but I am hearing from the Lord. He says, «Let me tell you something, Paul. I know you didn’t want to go. I know you had good intentions, but the season is over. And when you don’t know when it’s time to go, I’ll use the people you’re trying to help to escort you out.» It was good that I was afflicted. Some of you don’t understand what God protected you from when He had somebody you wanted escort you out. You don’t know; you think you were in pain now. You don’t understand how much pain you would have been in next year. Some of you need to start thanking God right now that they escorted you out by night. Oh, help me, Holy Ghost! You better be glad they fired you; otherwise, you would have been in jail with the CEO. You better be glad they repossessed it; you would have lost more than a car. You better be glad the relationship ended; you would have lost more than the relationship. You were about to lose your life and your mind. You better be glad that they escorted you out. Sometimes God will use a person or a situation to escort you out of a thing when you don’t know when it’s time to move on from a thing. I dare three of you to just type «move on.» Three thousand of you type «move on.» It’s time for you to move on. You are worth too much to be in a place where you’re unwanted. You are worth too much to stay at a job where you are not appreciated. You are worth too much to stay in a situation where you are disrespected. It 's nothing but a distraction. You better move on! Paul said, «I don’t want to go.» They say, «You got to.» Paul, I know you had good intentions, but we ain’t good intended. I know you had good intentions, but good-that’s what I won’t see. One thing I learned is we always think people want good to go, and you keep doing good and you keep doing good. But let me tell you, everybody doesn 't want good. Lord have mercy, everybody doesn 't want good. Some people just want you to leave them in a bad situation so they can use you for good cover so that they can come out and appear good by being connected to you. Most people don’t want good, and you’re going to stop depressing yourself when people don’t accept your good. You’re opening doors they don’t appreciate. You’re cooking, and you can’t even cook, and they aren 't appreciating it. You’re buying gifts they won’t even open because they don’t appreciate it. Everybody good has its enemies. Oh, Jesus! You don’t even recognize the more good you do, the more they hate you. The more you keep dealing with your demons, you think, «Oh, if I clean myself up, they’re going to love me.» No, listen-it’s never about that. You can get rid of all your bad habits because people who don’t love themselves cannot love you. If getting good was what they needed, then why did they accept you when you were bad? Most people don’t want relationships; they want projects. As long as they can work on you, they’ll keep you, but when the job is done, they move on. Paul, I just came here to help. Am I helping you? I just want to know-am I helping you right now? Am I boring you? Because if I’m boring you, turn it off. I only want people who I’m bringing traction to in your life in the midst of your distraction. Paul only knew these people for three months. How do you hate me so much in 90 days? If you can hate me in 90 days, you don 't have a me problem; you have a you problem. Paul only knew these people for a short time. How in the world are you blaming somebody for what’s going on in your life right now when you are 40? You only knew them for two years. How did somebody ruin your life, and you were 40 when you met them? Consequently, how are you so depressed when you had 37 years of experience before you met the person? Now you met the person and your life is over? If you made it this far without them, you can make it this far without them. You hear what I just said? If you made it this far without them, you can make it this far without them.
