Sustained Strength - Kingdom Endurance

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoy this message in the last days we need to stay strong

and it's obviously I need to preach this because of what just

took place, in the words that were being said, in fact, this

morning, when I woke up the Lord said you can just read a little

bit for yourself and then I want you to go pray in the Holy Ghost

I'll give You what? You're going to preach later.

So, I read the word, the sun came out enough so that I could

get outside dropped off. Some some tea to my wife and

then I took off down the road and praying in the Holy Ghost.

Amen. Went out.

Looked at the ocean. I like looking at the ocean or

reminds me how big God is and how small problems are.

But it also reminds me of the waves and moves of the Holy

Ghost. He'll just kind of move in.

He'll just kind of move in. It's kind of like a surfer, you

know, you're like okay I see that.

But the big waves for back And I'm not going to go in on this

one because it don't have the same move.

That that one for back, I'm going to wait on it and I'm

gonna go through these because that's not the one I need to get

on. Are you hearing me?

And then they'll ride that one way then?

And then they go back out and look for the next one.

They're all looking for the wave.

The one that one right there we'll just keep looking for that

one. We understand.

We could find those in Services where God will get us.

Us to that one that one way. But the move of the spirit, he

may have a few week come in and we will get touched and we'll

get ministered to and we'll get strengthened.

But then that one wave of come in and it'll be the wave of our

lifetime for that service. It'll cause us to want to show

up again the next time because there's another way.

If any Surfer ever comes in says, my not hit it's probably

the best ride of my life. Do they quit and retire?

No they're thinking there's got to be another It's kind of like

a golfer, they hit the ball, right?

Comes off their Club, it's perfect, it just goes down

straight. You're like man if I could do

like that every time but it kind of gets you you want to do it

again like a baseball player when he gets up to bat and it

just connects just right, are you hearing me or when they turn

that double play So Perfect? Amen, they win that game in the

ninth inning with two outs and they rally You know, people say,

well, it's about winning, it's not about winning because we win

and then we don't quit. It's about conquering and

conquering, you can do more over and over and over and over

again. Are you hearing me?

So the Lord definitely wants a strong in these last days

because the enemies out there to do something.

I'm going to teach you today by the Holy Ghost, how you can

never? Get tired.

Never, are you hear me? Glory to God.

Do you believe that you can live a life and never get tired?

Well, if you don't I'm going to show you today because you're

like, man, I'm tired, I'm going to tell you why, and what you

need to do to fix it? Let's turn over to Isaiah

Isaiah 40 · chapter mention

chapter 40, how many in your Bible reading plan?

You just read this last week. Few days ago.

Actually, Isaiah chapter 40. Starting in verse 28.

Isaiah 40 · chapter mention

We'll go to 31 and says, do you not know, have you not heard the

Everlasting? God, the Lord.

The creator of the ends of the Earth does not say does not,

does not become weary or tired. He doesn't get weary or tired.

Write his understanding is in screw double.

Look what he does. Then he gives strength to the

weary and to him, who lacks might he increases power.

Now if you are weary guess what, he'll give you strength.

If you do get to the point that you're lacking, he will increase

your power. But let's go on.

He says though you scroll weary and tired, they do.

It can happen. And vigorous young men.

Stumble. Black badly.

So do people get weary. Do people get tired?

Can people? Stumble means they fall.

Can that happen? Yes.

Can God strengthen you? If you are weary?

Yes. Can God give you increased when

you're feeling weak? Yes, but verse 31 yet.

Those Who wait for the Lord will gain new strength.

They will Mount up with wings like eagles.

Now notice what will happen, then they will run and and and

not get tired. They will walk and not become

weary. So that tells me that we can

gain new strength to a point that we never get tired and we

never grow weary, which means, then when someone says man, I'm

just burnt out. Then I know they don't wait on

the Lord. Are you hearing me?

If your fainting, if you're tired, if you're feeling weary,

you're not waiting on the Lord. I said, you're not waiting on

the Lord because those who wait on the Lord, they'll get a new

strength and that strength then can sustain them, because

they're doing what's necessary in essence.

Cause I wait on the Lord. I have a constant supply of

strength. I said I have a constant supply

of strength that now, I'm not going to get tired.

I'm not going to grow weary. I'm not going to faint.

I can get whatever I need to do until he returns either he

returns or I go one of the other.

Amen, it was testified of Moses that he was strong.

He had not grown dim in any case and point before he left.

Amen. Abraham was strong all the way

through to the end. Don't you understand?

We can be strong all the way through till the end, they

meant. So we don't want to be those who

get burned out because this Kingdom that God has given us is

an everlasting Kingdom that has the capacity to cause us to

endure. Amen.

You know people when they hear how we run, they're like, how do

you do it? Well, I wait on the Lord.

I said, I'll wait on the Lord. I said, I wait on the Lord and

let me give you a few scriptures.

I'll come back in to find Wade. It says this in Psalms 27 14, it

says wait for the Lord. Be strong and Let Your Heart.

Take courage. Yes.

Wait for the Lord. Psalm 37 34 says wait for the

Lord, and keep his way and keep his way and what But keep his

way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land.

When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

Amen. I said, the wickets cut off,

you're going to inherit it. Why cause you wait on the Lord

and keep his way Lamentations 3:25.

Lamentations 3:25

And 26 says, the Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the

person who here it is. Seeks him.

It is good that he waits side up.

For the Salvation of the Lord. Now that word salvation is not

only be born again. When we hear salvation too

often, we only think of a born-again experience that, that

salvation alone, that's not true.

Salvation means to be saved. And salvation is not limited to

the. Or being saved is not limited to

the New Birth experience. Meaning being saved from the

domain of darkness and being transferred into the kingdom of

his beloved Son. See, you were lost in your

trespass of sin and God saved you by your confession of faith

that Jesus Christ, died on the cross and Rose from the grave.

He saves you. He delivers you from that

Dominion of darkness and brings you into the kingdom of his

beloved Son. But you know, What when your

body is sick? He will save you.

He will save your body from dying to cancer dying.

To leukemia dying to covid, and all kind of stuff.

He can say that salvation, he'll save your mind.

From Don distinct and thinking wrong.

Thoughts strongholds in your mind that keep the faith of God

from functioning as it should heal save.

He'll save marriages, he'll bring Salvation to marriages,

he'll bring Salvation to your job.

So, salvation is not a one-time experience.

So when the writer says here, if you wait silently for the

Salvation of the Lord and that's his whatever you're going

through that, you need to be saved from.

If you're wait on the Lord, you're going to see it.

Amen. Psalms 25 verse 5, says that

Psalms 25:5

this way lint Lead Me In Your Truth and teach me for you are

the god of my salvation for you. I wait all the day now, this

word Wade has this definition associated with it patience.

Patience now, quit with the traditional lie, that's in the

church. You know what?

I don't want to pray for patience because I pray for

patient, that just means the Devil comes and attacks me.

Well, that's ludicrous. Because the devil is attacking

you period. And he don't care whether your

patient or not, that's not the purpose, he attacked you,

because he comes to kill, steal and destroy.

That's what he does. So whether you want to be

patient or not is irrelevant Number two.

Okay. You already have patience

because one of the fruits of the spirit is patience.

So basically when you're like I don't want to pray for patience

you're saying Holy Ghost, don't give me your fruit.

So again it's a tradition of man who didn't know who they were in

Christ. They've just asked Jesus to come

into their heart and save them so that when they die, they go

to heaven and they learn nothing else about what they have in.

Christ. And as a result of that, when

they want to be patient about something, but the devil is

already attacking them and it seems to be heightened at the

time. They want to be patient.

Then they don't want to pray for it anymore.

And the devil's like thank you for not asking for that fruit.

Because when you don't ask for the fruit of patience, you'll

get the alternative of patience impatience which means you won't

enact long-suffering. Now, you're not going to enact

kindness anymore. You're not going to have

goodness. This is why you run off at the

mouth and say, things quickly, because the minute the devil

keeps you, from asking for that fruit tea and yield.

So it will manifest in you. Well then all of a sudden you

bring out the wrath of man, which doesn't bring out the

righteousness of God. You just speak your mind.

All right. Well, you don't have to shout me

down but that's fine. Amen.

Religious tradition has people. Not pray for patience.

I'm like, thank you, Lord. I have patience.

And I yield to it, and I don't care.

And I actually has an apostle, I have supernatural patience.

I have a supernatural patience Beyond, just regular patients

because it allows me to be able to do the work that God has

called me to do. And I inder and Outlast Because

I'm going to do what God's call. I'm gonna plant where God tells

me to plant. I'm a bill where God tells me to

build and there's not a government on the earth, there's

not a devil in hell, there's not a person that's going to thwart

that I'll wear them out. First I'll just persist

Hallelujah, but if we see here, there's been some keys to this

thing patients as well. It's not just waiting around

like, you know, you're just sitting there waiting for

someone to show up. It doesn't just stop there.

And but most people do they just want to come and just sit around

as if they want to see. It's kind of like you go to a

parade or some some movie stars coming and, you know, so people

are show up just to see if they can get a glimpse of them.

Because they've been waiting. I've been waiting.

I've been waiting for someone. Oh, and they came and I saw

them. Well, how did it impact you?

How did change your life other than, you know, you can see I

did this once with a movie star. Her name was Demi Moore.

Okay, so Demi Moore back in the day.

Did this movie about? Gij.

All right, g.i., Jane. Anybody see that movie g.i.

Jane, I didn't. But okay.

Good. Anyway, g.i.

Jane was actually filmed portions of.

It was filmed. In can't at Camp Blanding in

Florida, and I was in the National Guard while they were

filming that. So, they had this scene where

she was at the Medics inner. So I knew some people and the

next thing you know, they got me over there while they were doing

this thing and I came in the back door, all right?

And so, we were kind of waiting around to see Demi Moore she had

her head, shaved, right? So, a couple things were

shocking to me. First house, She was.

She has to be 411. I don't even think she's five

foot, seriously. I mean, I'm a short guy and I

know short, I had a grandma that was 411 for 10 maybe and I'm

like, that's my grandma. Are you hearing me very petite.

Very small, very short, okay? So I don't know how they make

them so tall because I hear, I hear Tom Cruise is pretty short

as well. Anyway, with that being said, I

caught a glimpse of her. I can tell you that she did not

change my life. Not at all.

Right then, change my life, but I waited on her and if that's

how we're waiting on God, you may get a glimpse but it's not

about you getting a glimpse of him.

God doesn't want you to just see him, nor does he want you to

just be in his presence. SO waiting on the Lord, just to

be in his presence, doesn't do anything.

I said it doesn't do anything, you know, people say, man, if we

could just get in God's presence, it would change

everything, no, it won't change anything unless you're in faith

because Jesus was in the presence of a large crowd.

One day going to a religious man's house to heal his

daughter. And they were Just an all around

him in his presence yet. Nobody has changed.

But one woman showed up, I said, one woman showed up said if I

just touch him I'll be healed. And while everybody else was in

his presence, get nothing. He stops when the woman got in

his presence because she pulled something from me.

So coming to church and getting in his presence, getting in the

atmosphere, we just had won't change you unless you come jump

in by faith to touch something. I'm going to come get my Mine.

Now I don't know what that is, but you got to by faith do

something. And when you step out, then

power can be released into your life.

Are you hearing me? Amen.

So being in God's presence doesn't mean anything.

Unless you're going to do something about it, And so many

people are waiting on the Lord, right?

Wait for his presence to show up and even if his presence comes

in, so thick that it puts you on the ground, that me need to

change you. I remember when Jesus came out

of the garden. He was full of the Holy Ghost.

He was so anointed to go be beaten so bad.

They couldn't tell he was a man and to sustain that physical

body after it had been scourged and that the crown of thorns

will put on it. And he was punched by a whole

Roman cohort and his beard was being pulled out and then he had

to carry his own cross for a bit before he was physically

exhausting had to get someone else.

Else. The anointing on him was so

strong that when they came to him and asked who Jesus was.

He said, I am, the Bible tells us that the ones that were right

up front were knocked to the ground.

Now, you think that change you? That if someone says, I am puts

you on the ground that you get blown down by his power, just at

the sound of two words, didn't change them a bit, they got back

up and arrested him. Yeah, so it doesn't matter.

Even if God comes in here and His glory and with his train

filling the temple and its Glory.

So heavy in his presence. So heavy that drives you to the

You can still get up, walk out and send still.

Still lift carnal, still live ungodly, still have the same

Hang-Ups. Still have the same problems.

So, waiting alone is not what the Bible is talking about here.

Although it takes a part of the actual weight.

It also talks about collecting when one definition says the

bonds, what, you know, a three stranded court is not easily

broken and means to bind together in essence, there's

another verse that I'm reminded of in this Context, do not

forsake. The assembling of yourself, this

same word is used when God created the Earth.

And he told the water to collect this way in essence, it's the

same word here, for wait. It means that body of water is

going to be together here. You'll wait, you'll collect

their. Will you understand?

When you begin to come to church and collect together?

To wait patiently, something can take place, but it also gives

this idea then and that is a waiter or waitress.

Are you hearing me? Because by all right, a waiter

is someone who's waiting on someone.

Once they get in their presence, there waiting is for a purpose.

It is to do and to give whatever the person is asking for.

So when you leave today, if you go to a restaurant, you have a

waiter or waitress and all they're doing.

There is way is waiting on you. They come and say what would you

like to drink? It's your will not my What do

you want to drink? And you'll say well I want some

water, I'll have some unsweet tea or I'll have whatever and

then they go off. Now if I asked for water and

they give me dr. Pepper, that's the problem.

But they'll come and bring me water and then they'll talk

about the specials that may be on the menu there.

Just letting me know the options that I have but at the end of

the day it's your will not my will be done.

Now, that doesn't mean I don't ask sometimes well what's the

best seller, what's this? What's that right?

Maybe it's something they said, this is you know what, I'll do

that. But at the end of the day, it's

still my will concerning it. Are you hearing me?

So with that being said, then I order whatever that is say I'm

ordering a steak and they'll ask me how do I want it cooked?

And I tell them how I want to cook.

So then the expectation is not only will I get a steak, but

I'll get it the way it's supposed to be cooking it,

right? Leo.

Get it the way. It's supposed to be cooked

because there's nothing worse for a cook to have a state come

back because we didn't do it, right?

Leo didn't have this problem. He's done over many steaks, so

he's professional at this. But you understand what I'm

saying? And so then they come back and

they serve and then once they've given your drink and your meal,

they keep checking on you. It's not like what you got, what

you asked for now. Why do I need to show up?

Know if you start getting low in, they serve you the same

thing. Unless you say, you know what, I

think I'll take this now, right? So all the while, what are they

doing? They're waiting to hear from

you. So they can go and be a doer of

what you say. So that, that word will come

back to you. The Lord said my word, which

Goes Forth from my mouth will not return unto me void, but it

shall accomplish that which it was sent to do.

So, in essence, when we say we're waiting on the Lord, we

come together. Now, you can be by yourself in

the house is not just a collection, but it will happen

in this kind of collection, as well.

And more often than you think, in fact, strength comes because

the word wait has a collection by itself.

You will not get the strength that you need it.

If you stay out by yourself and try to tap god without anybody,

God will constantly be encouraging.

You, you need to get to church and if anyone tells you, the

Lord never told me to go to church.

I'd call him a liar to their face.

Because Jesus is the head of not them personally.

He's the head of the church and so there's something about

collecting. So, in essence, then how are we

really waiting on the Lord, we come to serve in essence.

We call waiter or waitress a server.

Amen. We come to serve, I said we come

to serve and there's many ways to serve God.

Not just only in his service but also in serving his church and

serving one another. So how do I know how to stay

strong? Number one, I'm going to be in

service number two. I'm going to get actively

involved in the area. He assigns me because now he's

called me to do something. Um, and I'll serve it with great

joy. I mean, how many of you enjoy a

waitress or waiter? That when they say, what do you

want? And then throws your drinks down

there, you know, kind of like, you know, you bother me.

Okay? What do you want?

Okay. Thanks.

Oh sorry. How do you want that cooked?

Okay, and then they bring you the wrong stuff.

You're like I didn't order this really Now, that looks like a

lot of people spiritual lives, the Lord goes to tell them.

Do something. They bring something back to the

table. Well, I'm not going to serve any

children, but I will do this. I didn't order.

I didn't order from you. Being a singer on the platform.

I ordered children's ministry. Yeah, but I'm going to bring you

a song today. I didn't order song.

Y'all want to hear this? And you want to know why people

are growing weary because they want to bring to God to his

table. What they want him to have about

them instead of serving him, what he's asking them to do.

Because I run better than an Energizer Bunny, because I'm

only about my father's business. And I don't get weary or tired,

I'm driven in strength because it's constantly renewed.

Do not think my busyness is wearing me out.

It's making me stronger. I said it's making me stronger.

When I went to Winter Bible this week, instead of Not only was I

getting refreshed, but I got to give out in the process.

Had nine classes that I taught third year Pastor.

So, I'm pouring out, I had one pass from Ohio.

I had other pastors from other churches, sit in the class,

they've already been their graduates and I had one at the

end, when my wife and I were doing Q&A and says, y'all need

to honor them because what you're getting right now is

rare. He says I don't see this kind of

flow between husbands and wives. This is rare.

Are you hearing me? Well, the reason why we flow is

because we're always about doing what God says to do.

We're serving him. I've got a pastor, want me to

come to Congo this year. So I'm just asking, I'm waiting

on, I'm waiting on the Lord. I know that's something else in

the calendar, but God just tell me because it's not too much.

I said, it's not too much. It's not too much now.

Can I push it off? Yeah, I planned a trip in 2024.

All ready to go to Italy, Greece, Albania and Cyprus.

Because the Lord has need of it. I said, the Lord has need of it

and this guy's been wanting us to come back to Greece and

Albania to do some teaching. Well, we have a church, we have

responsibilities, and we do that and he's like, I thought you

were coming this year. I said, you never got back with

me. What I said, I never heard from

you so it didn't get into schedule.

Well you need to I said I got the Lord's.

Not going to have me come this year.

I said March, it comes up my spirit, March, 20, 24, I can

come So, we went to breakfast. And planned it out.

And his assistant who was in Greece got on the phone you

know, I saw her face time she said pastor, wow, you sure have

an anointing to be able to get a Greek to eat breakfast at 7 a.m.

because Greeks eat late at night.

She said, that's okay, we'll pay you back when you get to Greece

and will make you eat late at night?

Are you hearing me? so the point is that I'm driven

in strength, Because I'm just waiting on God.

What do you need me to do? Where do you need me to go?

What do you need me to say? How do you need us to do this?

What needs to take place here? Are you hearing me?

This is how you can have guaranteed strength.

Now, again, serving in the church has to be directly

connected to the voice. If not, you'll get weary and

serving look at Luke chapter 10, verse 38 to 42, it says that

Luke 10:38–42

this way. Now as they were traveling

along, he entered a village and a woman named Martha welcomed

him into her home. And she had a sister called Mary

who was seated at the Lord's feet listening to his word.

Right to his word. But Martha was distracted with

all her preparations and she came up to him and said, Lord,

do you not care? That my sister has left me to do

all the what serving along, then tell her to help me but the Lord

answered and said to her Martha Martha, you are worried and

bothered about so many things. But only one thing is necessary

for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken

away from her. This is why when we assign

people to serve in the ministry, if we noticed, they only show up

when they're serving and not in service, that's the problem.

Because I know they're Martha's. They're not want to hear God,

they're just wanting to do with a duty.

Well, the church needs me to get working a children's.

I'm scheduled, I'll show up tonight.

What, where were you on Sunday? How come you're only showing up

when you're scheduled? And this is why your life is

full of worry and you're still bothered about things and

anxious about stuff and now you're burning out and now all

of a sudden you want to be taken off the schedule because all my

gosh, it's just so much. Well, it's because you're not

sitting at his feet. There are plenty of churches

that are go out and serve and serve and serve.

But the problem is they're not listening to the voice.

So you cannot wait on the Lord without hearing what he says.

And then go and serve. Are you hearing me?

So I don't schedule people to serve him in his church, only

only because we're born, but it's so that you can get

strength, but it has to work with being at his feet and

hearing his voice as well. So, at the end of the day, there

are only a few people, we assign every service in serving, but

they also are listening, and they're Usher's because they're

in here. So they are serving, but then

they get to listen. Same thing, parking lot.

We could literally schedule them every service, but then, they

come in and here they are. Greeters, they're out for a bit

and then it come in. They can here and serve at the

same time and get strong. So if you're serving all the

time and getting weak, that tells me you quit listening.

You're not listening and service anymore.

You're not trying to hear the word of the Lord, the word of

the king, the King's kids are so powerful.

That they never wear out. They never wear out.

Amen. I just don't bother lat.

Now Pastor, you know? You need to slow down and he

take care of yourself. I have taken care of myself.

I eat, right? I work out.

I renew my mind. I say before the Lord, I pray in

the spirit. I do what he says I'm running.

The problem is I'm wearing you out by my service.

Have you ever got around a waitress man?

They were like hitting everybody, they're running,

you're like, wow man, they're doing it.

But you know what, they're just thriving.

And then they are given to have such a great attitude and you're

like, man, I'm just going to tip you good, just call I do, but

I'm going to really chip you because man, you're awesome

right now. I mean the more they know about

the menu, the more they know about the way it tastes, the

more they come. And make sure I only got half of

my t drank and they brought me another one.

Oh my gosh. They're so attentive to me right

now. How will I not bless them?

And then you just want to ask for them.

The next time you're there. Don't you want God to?

And I know it's not true but don't you want to feel like

you're God's favorite? Oh, I just want Pastor or to

wait on me today. He is so good when he waits on

me. He's so attentive to me.

So attended to what I want, so attentive to want to run. and

bring to me that which I asked for, He's always kind of

hovering he's always got his ear to me.

His eye. To me, he's conscientious of the

spiritual about Pastor, Marcy. Today.

Here we are. We didn't have to go like, but

she was attentive to him and he said, why don't you just go

ahead and tell him to laugh? Tell him to get a little Joy.

Tell them about their strength today.

She don't know what I'm preaching because I didn't even

know what I was preaching. And I told her before we left, I

said, I don't have anything. I said, but I'll get it.

You know? The Lord told me to pray in the

spirit more today. Amen.

That's what he told me. So I did what he said because I

just live by faith. I get something because he'll

give me something or we won't get Nothin anymore.

Just do what he does because whatever happens will be his

will and I'm good with that. That's all that matters.

But then on the way, I got two things, wait and Martha.

And I'm like somebody was putting it on my phone.

My wife's. Like what are you doing?

I said, I just got something. I had to write it down just to

Waiting Martha. Amen.

But I knew what that meant. Hallelujah.

I said Hallelujah and I just follow the lord so when I'm

serving I'm serving not just do it my way or to be impressed.

So someone be impressed with me. I'm doing it because I here I

sit at his feet and then I go, I said it is feet and then I go, I

said it is feet and then I go and I never Forget weary I never

get tired. My wife asked me today.

How you doing? You tired?

You because we ran this week 6:00, I'm up five acts.

Well 6:00 6:00. I was up before the class the

last three days. I actually had meetings

breakfast's before class and we won't get home till like 11:30

12:00 o'clock Central Time. Every night.

People pulling and pulling and want to talk to you and want to

hear from you and want to invest in wanted to meet with you next

thing and you're just pouring in, you're receiving pouring in

ma'am, the mix Spirit, got moving, we Jump Right In

Clemente, I'm probably gonna pour this out on something

tomorrow. Hey man, there's a couple people

couldn't do anything with that. I normally try to do some things

with couldn't do it. Just so full but yet I was full

today. I was strong in the Lord.

He gave me great sleep last night had great communion with

him today. Amen.

And I'm ready to hit it and run. Amen.

Look what it says here in. Galatians 6:9, says, let us not

Galatians 6:9

lose heart in doing good, for, in due time, we will reap.

If we do not grow weary, many people do not get to the next

phase of blessing of outpour of overflow because they get tired

and they don't realize that they're not waiting on the Lord.

I said they're not waiting on the lord.

They're not serving him, they're not ministering to him.

They're not asking. What do you want from me?

Well I just want to sit and listen to you.

What are you saying right now? And I and, you know, understand

there's more than one way to hear God.

The greatest way to hear God, obviously, is through his word,

right? We know this.

But again, his word, a lot of times are Amplified in these

settings. We learn a lot because of the

fivefold ministry to equip the Saints.

And Things go off in our spirit like yes.

Okay, I'll make that correction. Yes Lord.

And you're waiting because you're sitting at his feet

hearing him to say do this. Do that touch here touch at

whatever. Let me in here.

And as you begin to allow him to order, those things up in your

life, and then you asked on them, then he transforms you and

changes you and your mind gets renewed and then he ask things

of you to do. Hallelujah, because we're

waiting on the Lord, if you don't grow weary.

Then, you're going to reap. And many are not reaping, all

that God had. I know for me, I'm walking into

Fields right now that I didn't plant.

Nor did I water, but it's because the others got weary.

And I get their Harvest. I'm telling you business people,

same thing, if you don't get weary, now, I'm not saying be a

workaholic I'm saying be a here, a holic, Oh wait on the Lord,

kind of haluk. Where you're waiting and hearing

and listening to what he says. Next thing, you know what,

others can't doing business, you will do at a pastor text me

today, that's over in West Augustine, came by the church

said, I'm just so blessed. I'm just reminded of how you're

such an innovator, thank God for you and him had a chance to tell

my wife about it yet. Why?

Because they're seeing things again, when I begin to lay out

the vision when I was at Flagler College and and the athletic

department, because we're starting to sponsor it, and it's

kind of open up a whole nother door there and they began to

hear all that we're doing. You know, some of them just get

tired by listening. Amen.

But there's no, there's no weariness when you're staying

connected to God, it's new strength every day.

I've sent us new strength every day.

It's new strength every day. So don't lose heart.

Know what God's called you to do as you wait on him as you serve

him, you're just going to be strong because the king is

always looking to give you a reward.

Hebrews 12:1 says this, therefore since we have so

Hebrews 12:1

great, a cloud of witnesses surrounding us.

Let us also lay aside. Every encumbrance and sin that

so easily, entangles, us, and let us run with endurance.

The race that is set before us, which means I'm in stride.

I'm in stride. If you're going to run a

marathon at, I don't care who you are.

Even if you're a champion, they still run out of pace.

They have developed a pace. Now, some of their Paces are

like sub five minute. I mean, they are flying, but

they've condition themselves. I mean, I'm not conditioned at

that pace but I can't have a pace.

Are you hearing me and you work yourself because your body's

going to take, it's going to take a toll on your body as

you're putting things out as you're moving along, and you got

to build up and build up to it. Again, my daughter wants to run

a marathon and we did the gate riverrun which my

daughter-in-law and I have done it.

Now my daughter and I have done it and when we did that she

didn't do a whole lot of training didn't have a big

opportunity to the most. She's ever ran was 4 miles.

Well, we clicked off 10K. It's a 15K and she never stopped

at six point two five. Miles.

But when we were in that seventh mile, she was really feeling

that physically. And as she hated it, you could

see it in her face. And you can see it where their

attitude, but at the end of the day, her body was talking to her

so much. She had to do a little walking

and it bothered her. Now, it didn't bother me.

I mean, I've done the whole thing before running, and again,

I was there with her. And so, we walk some ran, some

walk, some Ransom finish out the other 5K, but it did.

Something in her. She said I'm going to run a

marathon so she got a nap and she started running and next

thing, you know, she's running five miles.

She's running six miles, she's running seven miles, she's

running 10 miles, she's ran a half-marathon.

Now on her own the whole thing without stopping why cause she

can what her body wouldn't do it one point she developed the

endurance to handle it. She said Dad I've done a half

marathon twice now I'm ready to do a marathon said girl we are

not doing a marathon until we officially do.

The half-marathon in a race. So, she like that, if you ran

know, are you going to run? I will find the race and I'll

begin to train. Now, I've done a half marathon

on my own as well, you know, just down my own Road, got got

crazy and that was after the 15K.

I did two days later. Now, I felt it in service that

night and that ways and I was like, I don't know that was

intelligent, but at the end of the day, I click that off.

Can I do? 6.2.

Sure if I condition, I know I'm not going to run out there

tomorrow. It's not going to happen because

it doesn't matter even if lung capacity cardiovascularly I

could do it because crossfit's got my, you know, cardiovascular

like through the roof man. It's like a whole nother level,

but the endurance side of my physical body lb.

And I'm going to have to prepare And the Bible tells us that if

we don't, if we lay aside the things that can hinder meaning

in our training, we get rid of sin that can definitely hinder

our course or just things that hinder us from accomplishing

God's things. You know, one thing that is not

a sin but can hinder you is staying in the bed too long.

Just you know what? I'm going to get up and pray.

I'm going to get up and read. And that means I'm going to have

to do that. You know what else is?

It's not a sin, but it can be an encumbrance is if you don't

actually function in there and the sacrifice of praise.

I don't feel like praising but I'm a sacrifice means you're

doing something you didn't want to do.

So you don't feel like praising him feel like lifting, your

hands feel like shouting feel like singing but that's

irrelevant. So, come give him a sacrifice of

praise. Just go ahead and raise your

hands anyway. Go ahead and give him a shout.

Anyway, go ahead and sing anyway cuz if you yield then the Holy

Ghost can get in and then all of a sudden want you didn't feel

like doing you now feel like doing because now you got the

power on you to do it, she's like some probably didn't feel

like coming down. But once you just kind of act on

it, well why am I sitting here? I'll go on down to and at the

end of the day you know you may get down here and not even

actually feel something different.

God's not obligated to give you something different but he will

take note of your willingness. And there are things that you'll

do in this moment that will open up doors for other moments.

Because it's really not about what I get is about.

I obeyed. So when we wait on the Lord,

what you're doing is you're waiting for a word to obey.

That's what it means to wait on the Lord.

This is why you'll be renewed with straight.

Because when you're acting on the word, God tells you you

can't help but be strong. I said, you can't help but be

strong. And so we got to run with

endurance the race set before us.

There's enough God's called you to that last, your lifetime.

Well, that being said we'll go to this last passage of

scripture has eight verses and I want to close with this, because

I want us to be tenacious because God wants us to be

strong in the Lord. You really have to understand.

Now, I am not as substitute for your physical exercise.

You need to do that on your own. Although I do believe the

service can help your cardio. Master System.

If you come down to dance a little bit, it will get your

heart rate up. There's no doubt about that.

And if the Lord moves on you to run, you definitely are going to

get your heart rate up on that. And yes, those have physical

attributes to it because God needs you to be healthy people.

I'm telling you right now. If you think that you're going

to be in to do all that God wants you to do and your body's

not healthy. You're not because this the only

vehicle carrying your your spirit man around.

So, in order for us to keep that machine running, as its supposed

to, we have to do our part and that is exercise and diet.

Now, God will do Supernatural things.

Don't get me wrong, but he will multiply your effect when you

know, how you should eat and that you're doing something to

some form of exercise, okay? Some form of exercise.

Eyes, with that being said, you get an exercise in your spirit

every time you come to service. God is here to help exercise you

so that you can endure through things so that you can wait on

him to hear. You're seeking him out, which is

that when you're seeking the Lord seek first, the kingdom of

God, and his righteousness, and all things will be added to you.

When you're waiting on the Lord to hear him, give a command to

say what he wants, because you just want to serve him.

You just want to be doing what he's asked you to do.

And not only personally, but also his church because again,

the church is Jesus personally, he's the head of the church.

So when Serve the body or serving Jesus, okay?

And so, in in that kind of environment, then you just keep

getting stronger and stronger and stronger and you will

Outlast everything because in the last days and we're in them

folks, it'll be perilous times, it's going to be all kinds of

lawlessness. It's going to you're going to

hear way more reports of what the Devils doing and his group

then what God's doing the devil's.

Done. A very good job of keeping his

message in front of us more. And God's not moved by that

because he's inside you the whole time, okay?

And if you'll listen to him and hear his voice and know his word

and what's do you because you're a child of the king then you

won't let the words resistance or words FaZe you.

So with that being said, Luke 18:1 says now he was telling

Luke 18:1

them a parable to show that at all times.

They ought to pray and not Not to lose heart and not to lose

heart saying in a certain city. There was a judge who did not

fear God and did not respect man and there was a widow thank God

for the woman. Wasn't a widower is apparently

man. Cave too easy.

Did you say a widower? So menu need to learn from the

woman. It said there was a widow in

that City. And she came and she kept coming

to him saying. Now, the reason why I know he's

using a woman is because women are treated in this

historically, like, men, they had no voice So God saying, even

when it seems like you have no voice, you have a voice.

Even if Society regards you as nothing, you have a voice

because of me. So he says there was a woman a

widow in that City and she kept coming to him saying, give me

legal protection from my opponent for a while he was

unwilling. But afterward he said to

himself, even though I do not fear God nor respect man yet

because this Widow Widow, what bothers me?

I will give her legal protection.

Some of you husbands are calling your wives a nag when the

reality is, you probably should just yield because she's only

asking to do something, you should be doing already.

Say, hallelujah. Anyway.

I had a minister friend of mine. Sent me this little joke, you

probably seen it because the social media joke and it says

this, it says, a man will do what he said he'll do.

So you don't have to come back and tell him three months later.

Are you hearing me? No, a lot of times, they just

keep being persistent to hold you at your word.

You said you were going to, you said you were going to, you said

you're bothering me well why don't you at least get enough

wisdom like the unrighteous judge?

Are you hear me? He said she bothers me, right?

Otherwise by continually come and she will what wear me out

and the Lord said, hear what the unjust unrighteous judge said

now will not God. Bring about Justice for his

elect who cry to him day and night and will he delay long

over them? I tell you that he will bring

about Justice for them quickly. However, when the son of man

comes, will he find faith on the Earth?

Jesus even knows I'm coming back.

And because I know the condition of the world, how bad it's going

to be a, my going to find my children demanding their legal

right as children of God from the world from me from me

because the devil has stolen from us and he's holding things

that are rightfully ours, possessions that belong to the

Kings kids and we have to go to our righteous King.

We have to go to God said I lured.

You said in your Your word, you said in your word, you said in

your word, you said in your word.

Now you said. And I asked right now in the

name of Jesus, And he said, don't think that I won't hear

the Cry of my children day or night and I will quickly get it

to them. But the question is, will I find

Faith? Why?

Because many Believers are going to lose heart.

They gonna go once twice and when they don't see it and their

timing, they'll abandon and then blame God.

Go after the world, will offer them the same?

Well, I'll give it to you but you just need to leave the

church. I'll give you that promotion.

I'll give you that. I'll give you that Healthcare.

If you come and take this job, you'll have health insurance and

it cover anything ever go through your like, wow, it's a

good deal. Now he won't be able to go to

church on Sunday but we're going to work.

You like this that the other. Well, you know what?

But I got a good job and I got health care and I got great

benefits for when I retire. Because most Christians live

that life. And he'll come back to those and

say, where's your faith? But you've been working your job

with your health insurance and your benefits without me.

I haven't seen you at my table in a very long time.

I've not seen you, wait on me once.

It's been a long time now, you talk to me when you got in

trouble, but then once I showed you, yeah, I love you.

Where you been the minute? I fixed that for you.

You left again. Will I find faith in the earth?

Well, I find those who say, I'll endure to the end.

I'm not turning back. I'm going to hold on, I'm going

to be relentless. I'm gonna drive, I'm going to

thrive. I'm going to keep waiting on

God. I'm gonna wait on the Lord.

I'm gonna wait on the Lord. I'm going to serve at his table.

I'm gonna do what he asked me to do.

I'm going to be strong in the Lord and the power of His.

My I'm going to get the joy of the Lord cause I'ma tell you

right now today, the Lord says, hey, come on over to my table.

I'll give you some Joy today, just come get down the river,

and those who jumped in, you know, you got something, you may

not know all you got, but you got something. and some of you

for the very first time, came down and you got something, and

are getting overflow, because you said my Lord, you know, I

went down, you can remind him now, you know, I went down and

service because he'll say, you know, how you acted in service

yesterday, when you go to work on Monday in a trial heads, he

said just go ahead and dance that way now, Go ahead of the

same dance because you dance before me when you collected.

Now dance privately right here and I'll pour out a blessing.

You won't have a room enough to receive.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Because when you act on it, I said, when you act on it Anthony

washing, it said the Lord's healing knees right now.

And I wasn't the only one. There was another actually, it's

Pastor Jack out of New York. He said, I was having an issue

with Annie and all of a sudden he just started hitting like

that and realize it's gone. And then Anthony wants to the

Lord is healing knees right now and he goes really, the Lord is

so intensive of me. He knew I needed that.

Well, Pastor Jack didn't know, I needed that.

But I got mine because God cares for me because he wants this

almost 53 year old God to be strong in the Lord, and the

power of His might. And for this Temple of the Lord

to be at a run at Max Capacity. So that when people 20 years

younger or watching me fly, after a six foot four guy and

they see me not losing ground in like my gosh man.

What is that guy? God, that I need when I get

their age. Well, let's say yielded person.

To the Lord. Because I was dancing real good

in my seat. No problem.

In fact enough it cleared out, I was dancing.

I go down. I mean, it's like I don't have

to go down every time, but then Pastor Lynette was like, doing

this and doing this. I thought you were talking

somebody behind me for sure, but then Blake was like, you better

get down there. Like, you know, his grandma's

tell me to go. Well, in case I was confused, I

went I'm glad I did now, he can heal knees it in the bathroom

where you can hear it over the speaker and you get it if that's

what he wants to do. But for me it definitely

happened when I got in the flow but what Blake didn't know is

that he was getting called out too?

And thank God, he acted on it. You know what's so awesome about

that, the rest of our relationship together, I'll be

to look at Blake and I'll say Blake.

You remember when My wife had a picture and showed me on the

airplane. Ami on the floor, can't meeting

last year right by Craig Hagen with the power of God came on us

and we hit the ground. And laughing me.

The joy, the Lord hit us. I mean, we're like we look like

a couple of drunk, guys. We were not drunk as you

suppose. We were drunk on the spirit.

Amen. And it's a marker.

Remember that time. Because God is good because he

lets us experience these types of things so that we can have

endurance to the end and stay strong in the Lord.

Amen. If you're going to be baptized I

give you permission to get up and go get set.

Okay. All this is good because God I'm

gonna go ahead and tell you what time it is.

It's only 1217. Nice early.

I said it's early. And we going to do water

baptism. All right, now what we haven't

done is we've not taken up are offering we've not done any

announcements. I'm going to have to do this at

the end. I'm not going to interrupt the

Holy Ghost in what he's doing. But we also want to give to the

king because I can tell you right now, all that you've

received, if you don't want to put yourself in a position to

give who, I mean, I'm going to give to the king.

All right? So I'm I actually have Pastor

Marcy come up and take up the offering after I baptized Okay,

she's going to do that for us and then tell whatever

announcement she she was going to give prior to the Holy Ghost

as well. Let's do this first.

You know, we have an order, a service that we plan, we talked

about it unless the Lord does something, different is how it's

going to go and everything. We were going to sing today.

We didn't sing at all, but that's okay.

Why? Cause we're flexible.

Are we are prepared people seeking the heart of God but we

also have the capacity to hear him.

Say let's do this. Just like Abraham when he's

about to pull out that's when he pulled that knife.

He's about to drive it down into Isaac.

And the Lord says, hey, we doing something different.

So we were all prepared with the message.

The things we were going to do today.

And the Lord said, hey, I'm going to do something a little

different. We're like, okay, Lord, we're

following you, amen, a lot of times that's just helping us

continue to be sensitive and because he did, he release

things in the business people today because he did.

People already got filled with the Holy Ghost with evidence of

speaking it down because he did. People got healed today.

Who got healed today, who had something going on and you got

here. Okay, there you go.

There's one have been anybody else said, man, I had some

things going on and I got something today.

Yeah, I seized back there back there.

Back there right there, right there, right there, right there.

Amen, right there. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, he's the Healer.

Now you sit there and say well how do I know they got healed?

They just testified. Why would you want to call him a

liar? Five got filled with the Holy

Ghost before we Preach Today. Hallelujah, amen.

Now we're going to baptize some people.

Listen! It's worth enduring.

It's worth staying strong. I said it's worth it.

Because man, God's coming back for a church that's full of

power. And so we are.

I'm not asking to do anything more than the Lord wants us to

do. And it will actually make you

stronger. They make you stronger.

Amen. Come on.
