Touré Roberts - Get Your Weight Up

So wonderful to be here! Let’s get right into this word. Keep standing, if you don’t mind. I want to preach from this message today: «Get Your Weight Up!» Do me a favor; just turn to somebody around you and say, «I’m gonna get my weight up today! I’m gonna get my weight up! I’m gonna get my weight up! I’m gonna get my weight up today!» Hallelujah! It’s important; it’s everything! Come on, somebody! How many of us know that destiny is not for weak people? Destiny is for people that have some weight! Come on, somebody! Some people are trying to get money—it’s good to get money—but guess what? I want to get some weight! Come on, somebody! But oh, you didn’t catch it! You’re like, «No, I’m still after the money.» Let me tell you something: when you get weight, you get everything that’s a sign of your life. The last thing you want to do is be rich with no weight. Hello, somebody! If you get rich with no weight, then it can be taken from you, and more importantly, you can be taken from you. God’s going to move today! Just tell somebody you’re in the right place! You messed around and stumbled into the right place today! Weight—some weight on you! Yeah, I feel a little Holy Ghost silly today. Is that okay? Can I be Holy Ghost silly today? You’re like, «Can that be?» Yes, it can!

Junk in the Spirit: 1 Chronicles Chapter 11, verses 1 through 14. I’m going to read it quickly. I am NOT going to preach it; I’m just going to read it all the way through. I’m not going to preach; I’m not going to exhort; I’m not going to give any additional meaning. I’m just going to read it all the way through. Okay, you don’t believe me? That’s fine; probably good not to believe me. Okay, here we go! It says, «Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, 'Indeed, we are your bone and your flesh.' Also, in times past, even when Saul was king, you, David, were the one who led Israel out and brought them in.» Alright, let me just at least give you some context. Let me provide some context. So, you know, David has been going through a lot. He was anointed king a long time ago, and he’s getting ready to step into another level, another dimension of his calling and his identity. The people of Israel are coming to him and saying, «Yo, even when Saul was king, even when you were not in position, we still watched how you floated.» And that’s important because I want you to know right now that there are some people who are watching you even when you’re not yet in position according to what God promised you. But there are still people who have watched you; you’re not forgotten. They have paid attention to you. I feel the Holy Spirit, and they know you are next. I feel God! Sometimes, you are the last person to know that you are next. Everything is aligning itself to manifest what God promised you. I cannot wait to preach this message! I cannot wait!

So the people are saying to you, «You know, it was you.» Also, in times past, verse 2, «Even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in.» And the Lord your God said to you, «You shall be shepherd; you shall shepherd my people Israel and be ruler over my people Israel.» Therefore, all the elders of Israel came to the king—came to David at Hebron. David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of the Lord by Samuel. In verse 4, it says, «And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.» But the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, «You shall not come in here.» Nevertheless, David just ignored that. I feel God! Who can’t wait? Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion; that is, the City of David. Now David said, «Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.» Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first and became chief. Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore, they called it the City of David. He built the city around it from the Millo to the surrounding area; Joab prepared the rest of the city. So David went on and became great! So David went on and became great, and the Lord of Hosts was with him.

Now these were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel. And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Joshob defeats them, son of a Hachmonite, chief of the captains. He had lifted up his spear against 300, killed by him at one time—in other words, he killed 300 people at one time. After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men. He was with David at Pas-Dammim, where the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley. The people fled from the Philistines, but they stationed themselves in the middle of that field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory. And then our last passage is Psalm 37:23, and it reads, «The steps of a good man are…»
