1 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.
2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.
3 They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!”
4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.
7 He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”
8 Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
Accelerate: to hasten the progress or development of, begin to move more quickly:
Today We have this Prophetic Word For You, That God is Going to Accelerate you… But before we release it we first have to teach you some principles. And Then we going to push the Acceleration Button.

Can Someone give us a area where you are frustrated in because its not moving the way you envisioned it. (be honest)
Why is this area Moving Slow?
Have you ever said, I thought By now I should be_________________
Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Weights & Sin beset us (slows us down)
The Prophet Isaiah had a Weight, called King Uzziah and it wasn’t until Uzziah died that the Prophet was able to see the Lord high and lifted up…
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began his fifty-two-year reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 He did right in the Lord’s sight, to the extent of all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the things of God; and as long as he sought (inquired of, yearned for) the Lord, God made him prosper.
6 He went out against the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, of Jabneh, and of Ashdod, and built cities near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and the Arabs who dwelt in Gur-baal and the Meunim.
8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread abroad even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.
9 Also Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and at the angle of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Also he built towers in the wilderness and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the tableland. And he had farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile fields [of Carmel], for he loved farming.
11 And Uzziah had a combat army for waging war by regiments according to the number as recorded by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king’s commanders.
14 Uzziah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones to sling.
15 In Jerusalem he made machines invented by skillful men to be on the towers and the [corner] bulwarks, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong.
16 But when [King Uzziah] was strong, he became proud to his destruction; and he trespassed against the Lord his God, for he went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, men of courage.
18 They opposed King Uzziah and said to him, It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are set apart to burn incense. Withdraw from the sanctuary; you have trespassed, and that will not be to your credit and honor before the Lord God.
19 Then Uzziah was enraged, and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was enraged with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the incense altar.
20 And as Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked upon him, behold, he was leprous on his forehead! So they forced him out of there; and he also made haste to get out, because the Lord had smitten him.
21 And King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death, and, being a leper, he dwelt in a separate house, for he was excluded from the Lord’s house. And Jotham his son took charge of the king’s household, ruling the people of the land.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
Understanding Uzziah
Uzziah was one the greatest forgotten Kings of Isreal.
He was 16 years old when he inherited the Throne
He Did Right In the Lords Sight
5 Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the Lord, God gave him success.
3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
The King Did well with a pastor that he was submitted to, Without a Shepard Sheep scatter. We Need someone to teach us to fear and honor God.
King Uzziah Prospered in Military Strategies & did great eploits
He was the Steve Jobs of his time, he envisioned weapons and found people to build them.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
And After All That he messed around and Got Strong….
Mother Middleton would say “you’ve gotten to BIG for your own britches”

When Your Leprosy Shows Up!!!
Accelerating Toward Our Heavenly Prize

1. Witnesses' Weightless Wisdom
1. Witnesses' Weightless Wisdom
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
We want to encourage you to reflect on the lives of those who have walked in faith before you, as outlined in Hebrews 11. The "cloud of witnesses" serves both as an inspiration and a testimony to the possibility of faithful perseverance in the race of life. By focusing on these examples, we are motivated to shed distractions and burdens that impede our spiritual progress, thus accelerating toward our heavenly goal.
One of the reasons why satan works overtime to discredit believers is
1. If he is Successful everyone thats influenced by that believer bycould lose hope in God. (a weight)
The question i ask in Marriage Seminars is, Can you count 5 healthy marriages in your family. ( Not many do) Which means we have Single women with Children, Single fathers with Children. And Children with weighty mindsets.
I. These are things that are besetting families as we speak:
We are great moms but horrible wives
We are great husbands but horrible fathers.
II. God wants our witness to be his Witness,
All Things New, All things Accelerated……..
2. Fix Eyes on Faith
2. Fix Eyes on Faith
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
By fixing our eyes on Jesus amidst challenges, we can accelerate toward the race set before us, inspired by the vision of God's glory and the witness of the faithful, ultimately leading us closer to our heavenly prize
focus on the pivotal act of fixing our eyes on Jesus as the prime motivator for our spiritual race.
Jesus is the ultimate example of perseverance, having endured the cross for the joy set before Him.
By looking to Him, we find the strength and courage necessary to persist through trials and keep moving forward toward our ultimate prize.
This powerful message reminds Christians and everyone facing obstacles in their spiritual journey that, through faith, we can shed distractions and burdens, gaining strength from Christ and the faithful who have gone before us. It encourages us to keep our eyes on Jesus, our ultimate prize, especially during difficult times.
3. Vision of Holy Velocity
3. Vision of Holy Velocity
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Lets explore Isaiah's transformative vision of God’s holiness as a catalyst for renewal and commitment in our spiritual journeys. Uzziahs death was connected to his ability to See God in a New way.
Isaiah’s encounter emphasizes the majesty and purity of God, which inspires believers to live with a reverence that propels us forward. This is what God wants for us, For Our encounters with him to Accelerate. (And this is the year Uzziah dies)
Recognizing God's glory and aligning our lives with His will renews our focus and determination to run our race faithfully.
Jesus embodies the fulfillment of what Isaiah experienced—His holiness, our need for redemption, and the empowerment to run our earthly race by His grace. Jesus serves as the ultimate example of perseverance, modeling how to focus on the joy set before us.
Tell Someone
Focus On The Joy!!
This theme centers around the call to persevere in our faith with focused determination, inspired by the visionary encounter of Isaiah and the cloud of witnesses that encourage us to run the race set before us.
