Touré Roberts - Levels

Today, I want to talk about levels. I want to talk about levels. Just turn to your neighbor and say, «There are levels to this thing.» There are levels to this thing. There are levels to this thing. Now, turn to your other neighbor and say, «I want to get to the next level. I want to get to the next level. I’m going to get to the next level. Hallelujah!» I want to draw your attention to a few passages of Scripture, and then we’re going to sit down and jump right into this message. I believe it’s a prophetic word. I believe it’s a right-now word. I believe it’s a word that’s going to align you and prepare you for what God has purposed and planned for you.

Luke chapter 4 is where we’re starting. We’ll read the first 15 verses. It says, «Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit—say, filled with the Holy Spirit—returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit—say, led by the Spirit. Jesus was filled with the Spirit, and then it says he was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil. In those days, he ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, 'If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.' Wow! 'If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.' But Jesus answered him, saying, 'It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'

Then the devil took him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and the devil said to him, 'All authority—this authority—I will give you, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I will give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.' And Jesus answered and said to him, 'Get behind me, Satan! For it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'

Then he brought him to Jerusalem, set Jesus on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, 'If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. For it is written—since you like the Bible—'For it is written: He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you, and in their hands, they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.' Turn to your neighbor and say, 'The devil is tricky. The devil is tricky.' That was tricky!

And Jesus answered and said to him, 'It has been said: You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' Now, when the devil had ended every temptation—every temptation—he departed from him until an opportune time. Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit—say, in the power of the Spirit—to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.» That’s Luke 4.

I want to draw your attention quickly to Isaiah chapter 11, verses 2 and 3. Hallelujah! If you have it in California, say, «I got it!» BT Denver, if you’ve got it, say, «I got it too!» Online, if you got it, holla at me! I heard you! I heard you! Isaiah 11:2 and 3 says, «The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.»

Hmm. And then lastly, in Matthew chapter 26, verse 41, it says, «Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.» Hallelujah! Father, thank you so much for this word. It is a lamp unto our feet; it is a light unto our path. In the beginning was your word, and the word was with you, and the word was you, and everything that would be created came by and through your word. In fact, your word became flesh and dwelt among us.

I pray, God, that your word will become flesh right here in this room and dwell amongst your people, God, that you would feed your sons and daughters with bread to the full. God, that the anointing would be so strong in this house that it would break every yoke of depression, that it would break sickness, that it would break disease, God, that it would build your sons and daughters out of trouble. I pray, in Jesus' name, that we came in one way; we’re going to leave out another way. We decree right now we will never be the same again because your hand is on our lives, and if you believe it from California to Colorado to online, give God a shout! Just receive it right now! Come on, just receive it right now! I’m in the house of the Lord, and good things are coming my way!

Do me a favor and turn to your neighbor and say, «I’m in the house of the Lord, and good things are headed my way, and yours too!» You may be seated. You may be seated in God’s house. I am so excited to be here with you, and we’re going to talk about levels today. Let me begin by saying, from the onset, that winning in life, at the end of the day, has to do with your understanding that life is about stewardship. We didn’t initiate our lives; we…
