Fire Of Zeal

I have the slide up like pain everywhere. Y'all see

this too, right Okay? Who I was like, what is

going on? Yeah? Okay, we have the honor of hearing

from Justin this morning. As he walks up with y'all,

just extend your hands with me. We'll pray over him.

I'm gonna come pray with you.

Father.

We thank you for Justin. Hm. I pray right now

that he would fill up with your energy, with your

grace and your strength. That the words that you've put

on his heart would be clear God, that he would

fill your wisdom flowing through his veins, and that we

would all experience the.

Love of God.

This morning, that we would be changed and renewed and

ignited and all the things God we just blessed Justin

in his sacrifice Jesus name. Amen, let's go. Sorry, I

gotta steal some things up here. I made it a mess.

I made mine, okay, ah, thank you mm hmm.

Like that picture. I woke up to like four fifty.

I don't even think the Amish were up when I

woke up and and had to go to the bathroom

and then could not get back to sleep. Finally gave

up at a little before six, and then the Lord

changed the direction of what I thought I was gonna

teach on. So from six to seven I put together

a whole different teaching. Yeah it was fun. So I

have had lots of coffee this morning, and I am

I am full of energy. Claim it, name it, claim it.

So I want to I want to start out doing

something a little different. Are you all ready? I want

you to think for a moment about your very first

encounter with God. Maybe it was maybe it was your

first real major encounter was at Salvation. Maybe it was

another encounter later, but when when you knew the Lord

encountered you in a significant way. I want you to

sit in that for a second. Think about it. The

winds are blowing, the spiritual winds are blowing, and also

all sorts of things are stirring in this season. But

the target is your heart. The target is your heart

this morning, some of you may think that God's after

your stuff. He's not after your stuff, He's after you.

But I have a question. Do you have enough desire,

internal desire, first love that you'd be willing for Him

to interrupt your schedule, to interrupt your life. Earlier this

week at Southeast or Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. They

gathered for a conference and then God started moving and

they haven't stopped gathering, and they're talking that it's very

much like the feeling of Asbury. And so another fire

has started. And if you recall I've mentioned before, I

really believe wholeheartedly that these fires are going to begin

to pop up all over the place. But they're not

going to stop burning. But are you willing for him

to interrupt your schedule, to interrupt your life? Every move

of God, every revival has started with the Lord. He

lit the flame and man put it out right Now,

there's so many things stirring in the season, so many

exposures happening, alignment, purification, wolves are being exposed, the failure

of the church to protect people from them. But we're

in the refiner's fire in this season, and we have

to understand the times in season we're in. His focus

is your heart? His focus today right now is the purification,

the Holy Fire. Do we care enough if we walked

by a burning bush to actually stop and investigate? Are

we willing for him to interrupt our day and have

a switch aisles in a grocery store because he wants

you to minister to somebody in Aisle twelve and you're

in Aisle four, or go the long way back to

work on a treasure hunt, not really understanding why you

feel led to go in that direction, but trusting that

the Lord has something for you. I'm reminded of a

story my brother shared some years ago. He was in Atlanta, Georgia,

homeless at the time, sleeping under a slide, eating pizzas

out of a dumpster, and he saw a cop and

he got ready to run, and then he said to himself,

jail would be better than this right now. And then

she pulls over and said, the Lord told me to

go this way, and I didn't know why. I normally

don't go back this way.

Mhm.

She give you money? Yeah, yeah. The police officer didn't

arrest him, but gave him the word of the Lord.

And so the Lord said he's not done with you yet.

And and then see that, and then she proceeded to

give him a hundred dollars. Yeah, he ran it her

two years later and gave her a hundred bucks back. Yeah.

In church, you know, we we we talk a we

talk a lot. Yeah, we talk a lot. About wanting

to encounter God, But are we really willing for him

to inconvenience our life. I think too many times we

want a fifteen minute daily devotional Jesus, and then we'll say, Lord,

I'll take it from here, I'll see you tomorrow. When

he doesn't just want fifteen minutes of your life. He doesn't.

He doesn't just want two hours of your time on

a Sunday. He wants all of it. He paid for you,

He shed his blood for you. You were the joy

set before him that strengthened him to endure the sufferings

of the Cross. And yes, he's put a demand on

your life that is impossible for you to live apart

from the Holy Spirit in As long as we stay

with our souls ruling us, then we will always get

earthly results. Time is short, y'all. We're not even going

to recognize this earth in five years because of the

way technology is changing and how it's going to change

so many facets of your life. The harvest is but

he cares way more about intimacy with you and your

holiness than what you're doing for him. The celebrity ministries

are burning up. They've been put on notice the wolfs

are getting exposed, and God is not playing. He's drawing closer.

He's purifying his bride, and he's looking for a generation

that will have holy hunger. He's looking for a generation

that will literally have a fire of zeal that cannot

be quenched. Thematically, through the scriptures, you see the zeal

of the Lord. You see the jealousy of God. It's

actually one of his names that he is a jealous God,

which means he's not going to share you with anybody else,

and he's after your idols. He wants to crush him

wherever your heart, the affection of your heart has been

pulled away from the Lord and put into a different direction.

He is a jealous god over you in this hour,

and he wants to bring all of you closer to him.

You've got to get comfortable with becoming a burning bush

for him. But fire falls on sacrifice, which means, over

and over and over, every single day we wake up,

we got to say, Lord, I would love to do this. Lord,

can this happen? And you share your heart with him,

You share your desires with him, but you finish that

with Lord, not my will, but your will be done.

If we want to see the Lord move in unprecedented ways,

then we've got to seek him in unprecedented ways. You've

got to be willing to seek him in ways that

others think is ridiculous, because it's in that seeking that

that purifying fire of God begins to burn brighter and

brighter and brighter, and His light shines through you. Don't

get jaded in this hour because of all the exposures.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. God has

not changed his mind on his bride or the gifts

that he's given you. He's drawing closer. The winds are blowing,

and dare I say he's looking for a generation of

laid down lovers that understand the greatest price our prize,

I should say, is him intimacy with him. Deuteronomy four

twenty four says, for the Lord, your God is a

consuming fire, a jealous God. When was the last time

you encountered God in a way that you knew it

was him? There was no way it was not him.

When was the last time you felt the holiness of

God to such a degree that you felt like you

needed to get on your face because you were too

high in his presence. We can't make God move, we

can't schedule revival, and every move of God has typically

happened after repentance and fasting and prayer and crying out

to the Lord for him to do what we can't do.

But when he responds, he always responds in a suddenly.

That's why you've never see us whole revival meetings because

you can't make him move. But when he starts moving,

we have a responsibility to stewart what he's doing. And

I'm afraid that it's probably way too easy to get

in his way, because when he starts moving, it gets

very uncomfortable. He starts doing things to people that we

don't like. People start having physical expressions that we question

whether or not they're of him or not. I remember

some months back listening to Ike's testimony. He was prayed

over by Randy Clark and the next thing you know,

he hit the dirt well the floor, I guess, and

for over two hours could not move. And he shared

that experience and it changed his life. Ike is not

the Ike's not here. He's here for service. Ike is

not the same man after that burning bush moment. He's

a consuming fire and he's a jealous God, and right

now that fire is burning and his jealousy is raging

over his bride. That Hebrew word quannah is translated jealousy

twenty five times and translated zeal nine times. Where's your

zeal this morning? What are you zealous over? What fires

you up this morning? And there's nothing wrong with getting

excited about other things. I love hunting, I get fired

up about hunting. I love cooking and grilling. I love

to cook. I get excited about that. I love to travel.

I love leaving Kerville at forty thousand feet in the air. Well,

maybe not Kurbville, San Antonio, but I love. These are

things that I love to do. But my love, my

zeal for Jesus, those things pale in comparison, or at

least they should. And we have all of these things

at our disposal in this hour, and it's and it's y'all.

I was just talking to Dale about AI and and

how it's proactive, right, it's becoming proactive. And Dale's over

here with these personal virtual AI assistants that are literally

building a whole business for him. As he's sitting here.

I kind of reminds you of like Terminator I'm like,

we're in trouble people, But all these things knowledge will increase.

It's the Book of Daniel. We're seeing knowledge increase. Men

are going to and fro and on the earth, and

all of these things are happening, and there's so many

things that can satisfy our soul. In a moment. We

can take the quick way out, we can do the

microwave spiritual life, but then you never end up becoming

a champion in the faith. You never get to see

the bear killed, the lion taken out, the giant. You

won't see generational curses removed out of your bloodline. Jesus

wept over Israel because he longed to visit them, and

they did not recognize their day of visitation, and he wept.

The waters are stirring, the winds are blowing, the spiritual

tide is changing, and it's time that we pursue him

like never before, that you would wake up with a

holy hunger inside of you, that he would be the

first thing you think of and be the last one

you think of when you go to sleep. Psalms one

nineteen one nine says, let love be genuine, abhor what

is evil, Hold fast to what is good. Love one

another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Do not be slothful and zeal, Be fervent and spirit,

serve the Lord, rejoice and hope, be patient and tribulation,

Be constant in prayer, contribute to the needs of the saints,

and seek to show hospitality. But it says there, do

not be slothful and zeal. So you may have zeal

this morning, But what do you have zeal? Four? David said,

My zeal consumes me. John two thirteen to seventeen. The

passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went

up to Jerusalem. In the temple, he found those who

were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money

changers sitting there and making a whip of cords. He

drove them all out of the temple. What do you

think they were thinking in that moment He's over there

in the temple putting a whip together. I mean, how

is he looking? Did he have the fire in his

eyes looking at the Pharisees and the Sadducees as he's

putting that whiped together? Did he have a slight little

smile because he knew he's about to clean house, and

the zeal of the Lord consumed him. Listen, I think

that we have been given a watered down version of

the Gospel and what a true follower of Jesus is

supposed to be. The culture has done everything to literally

neuter men, and it's time for men to stand up

and be accounted for and not apologize for being men.

It's time for men to spiritually lead their homes and

not apologize. To love their wives like Christ loves the church,

to raise their kids and the fear of the Lord

and in the way of God so that when they

go off to colleges they don't shipwreck their faith. Don't

ever apologize for truth, don't ever apologize for staying on

the Lord's side. Y'all, it's gonna get more difficult. There

are things coming on this earth, coming into this country

that are not going to go away, and you are

gonna have to learn how to kill the bear and

the lion and the giants, and you gotta be okay

with doing it in private. It doesn't matter if anybody sees.

The Lord sees you don't need a reputation. Jesus didn't

have one. If you get depressed because you don't have

enough lights on your social media, that's not good. If

you find your identity in this make believe life on

social media that you've created, that's vain imagination. Jesus didn't

die for a virtual world. He died for the literal world.

The passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus

went up to Jerusalem. In the temple, he found those

who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons. And he's

literally sitting there making a whip of cords, and he

drove them all out of the temple with the sheep

and oxen, and then poured out the coins and the

money changers and overturned their tables. And he told those

who sold the pigeons, take these things away. Do not

make my father's house a house of trade. You know,

the least attended me like across the board or prayer meetings.

And yet he says, my father's house is a house

of prayer. Let me tell you something, Jesus in this

hour is spiritually cleaning out his house. If you listen

close enough, you might even hear the wind from the whip.

But this is out of his love it's not out

of his condemnation. We've got to be cleaned up. We've

got to let him the whole will of God. Do

you know what the will of God is for your life?

It's real simple. Are you ready be conformed into the

image of Jesus? That is his will for your life?

And all of you are on different paths, going different

different ways. But if you know him, his goal for

you is to be conformed into his image, that you

wake up today and by the end of this day

you look more like him. How much desire do you

have for that? When he starts pulling on something that

you've held on to as a pacifier for decades, and

he says, let me have it. Are you pouting? Lord?

Take this? Don't take this. Lord, I'll give you these things,

but don't take this. Don't take my vape? And then

all of a sudden, Jesus goes, do you love me

more than these? What of it yourselfhe you're addicted to?

Do you love them more than this? We don't know

if it was an apple that eve ate and the

gardener not, but you know it just says fruit. Listen.

Fear is a horrible motivator. Your whole purpose of walking

with the Lord. Love the Lord your God, with all

of your heart, with all of your soul, with all

of your strength, with all of your mind, and love others.

You're never gonna love others until you allow his love

to penetrate you to where you actually start loving yourself

with his love. Because to the degree you love yourself

with his love is how you're gonna love others around you.

Is it worth taking a journey to see why that

bush is not being consumed and it's on fire? And

are you willing to lay your life down to such

a degree that you say, Lord, set me on fire

so men can watch me burn. He didn't just buy

some of you, bought all of you. He's not just

asking for ninety percent of you. He's asking for one

hundred percent of you. And he's not apologizing. And every

day we wake up, we got to bear a cross.

We have to reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive

in Christ. Every day. Take up your cross. You want

to follow me, great, take up your cross daily and

follow me. People would leave all the time. Disciples left

because he said hard things that they didn't understand, and

they weren't willing to humble themselves and get hungry and

go into the mystery and find out what he meant

instead the pride of life. And they left, and he

asked his disciples, will you leave too, If in this

moment there's any aspect of your life that can be

offended by God, it will be. We are literally watching

the beginning of the falling away. I believe wholeheartedly. Sewod

King's ten sixteen to seventeen. And he said, come with

me and see my zeal for the Lord. So he

had him ride in his chariot, and when he came

to some struck down all who remained to Ahab in Samaria,

pardon me, till he had wiped them out. According to

the word of the Lord that he spoke to Elijah,

this is Jehu. This is the one who stomped a

mud hole in Jezebel and on and literally on the

cusp of Elijah taking out all these false prophets, she says,

I'm gonna kill him, and he gets wind of it,

and he freaks out. He gets terrified, runs for his

life and is hiding and is so depressed he wants

to die right on the cusp of him taking out

all the false prophets greatest victory and greatest defeat right

after it, because we are susceptible as human beings. And

when you have an amazing breakthrough, when you have an

amazing breakthrough with the Lord, the enemy is ticked. When

you get deliverance, the enemy is ticked. And it says,

do not be naive of the schemes of the evil One.

And he left Jesus even in the wilderness. And it

says until a more opportune time, So that means the

moment he perceives you as weak and vulnerable, as in

that moment when you're going to be attacked, and he

doesn't fight fair. He doesn't like you, and he doesn't

care that you don't like him, and he knows his

time is short. I'm getting a front row seat to

watch his hind end go into the lake of fire

along with all of his minions. Isaiah fifty nine fifteen

to seventeen says truth is lacking, and he who departs

from evil makes himself a prey. The Lord saw it,

and it displeased him that there was no justice. Listen,

when justice is being trampled in the streets, when justice

is being overlooked in the church. The Lord will not

tolerate those things for a long time. He gives all

of us time to repent. Even in Revelation, it says

that he gave Jezebel time to repent, so we all

have this ability, this gift to repent from things. He

saw there was no man and wondered that there was

no one to intercede. Then his own arm brought him salvation,

and his righteousness upheld him. He put on righteousness as

a breastplate and a helmet of salvation on his head.

He put on guard. It's a vengeance for clothing, and

wrapped himself and zeal as a quo. It's the zeal

of the Lord that is going to fuel what you

need to get through the valleys. The mountaintops don't take

a whole lot of energy, do they, Because typically mountaintops

are times of blessing where the Lord's loving on you

and blessing you and you're just being just you know,

dotad on the valley is when you feel like you

got put into a dark room and the lights were

turned out and someone's kicking you and you can't find

out where it's coming from. It says though we walk

through the valley, we don't have the valley of the

shadow of death. We don't have to fear evil. Isaiah

forty two thirteen says this, The Lord goes out like

a mighty man, like a man of war. He stirs

up his zeal. He cries out, he shouts out loud,

He shows himself mighty against his foes. He stirs up

his zeal. Listen, some of y'all probably need to allow

the Lord to stir your zeal for him this morning.

If if you wake up and you don't really feel

like spending time with him, that should be your first warning.

That should be your first red flag. Are y'all with me?

Because you've just recognized that there's no inner desire to

be with the Lord in that moment, and if you

don't deal with it right then and there on that level,

in that moment, when you recognize that, that is the

very first step to Hey, anybody ever figure out who

owns the fence? There is no being on the fence.

Are you with me? He the enemy owns the fence?

Right in Revelation, it says I'd rather you be hot

or cold. Do you understand cold? Wasn't a bad thing

in that context in that chapter, because hot is soothing.

Cold both of them actually are good, and especially during

that time of that culture. But if you were lukewarm,

you weren't hot, you weren't cold, you couldn't be used

this way or used that way. And he says, I

will spew you out of my mouth because of being lukewarm, y'all,

because of the lack of the fear of the Lord.

When we hear scripture like that, we don't have a

tendency to really look at it with sobriety and understand

the intensity of what he's saying. Says he who can

ascend the mountain of the Lord, but he who has

clean hands and a pure heart, who's not lifted his

soul to an idol. And it was saying, give us

clean hands, give us pure heart. So that means when

he starts asking for things out of our life, we

got to let go of the vice gript. You got

to open your hands and live. Listen, the moment you

get into a place in your life where you're willing

to live like this with everything, you will be shocked

at the amount of blessing that will flow through you

because you are therefore trustworthy to handle that level of

responsibility in the kingdom. You want authority in the kingdom,

it's called responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the greater the

authority you're going to walk in. But you're not going

to be given that authority without great intimacy that brings maturity.

You with me. For those that feel tormented hanging there,

I only got fifteen minutes left. Will start lower in altitude.

I promise of the increase of his government and of peace.

There will be no end on the throne of David

and over his kingdom. To establish it and to uphold

it with justice, with righteousness. From this time forth and

forever more, the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will

do this. I said this first service. This is when

it comes to the zeal of the Lord. This is

probably one of my favorite scriptures. But don't get me wrong,

because it's a little violent. That's not necessarily why it's

my favorite scripture. Just giving you a little caveat. When Phineas,

the son of Eliezar, son of Eron the Priest, saw it,

he rose and left the congregation and took a spear

in his hand and went after the man of Israel

into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man

of Israel and the woman through her belly. Now do

you know why I gave you a little side note there?

Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped.

And the Lord said to Moses, Phineas, the son of Eliezar,

son of Erin, the priest, has turned back my wrath

from the people of Israel. What did the zeal of

the Lord that consumed Phineas is what literally turned back

God's wrath from the plague. So do you think the

zeal of the Lord in your life is powerful? And

that your weapons of warfare are not cardinal but mighty

in God for the pulling down of stronghold? And you

have weapons of righteousness in your right hand and in

your left, and zeal of the Lord is a weapon.

And thus the plague of the people of Israel will stop.

And the Lord said to Moses Phineas, the son of Eliezer,

the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned back my

wrath from the people of Israel, And that he was

jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did

not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy. Therefore say, behold,

I give to him my covenant of peace, and it

shall be to him and to his descendants after him,

the covenant of a perpetual priesthood. What are you now?

There we go, all right, little interaction here, people, stay awake.

You're a royal priesthood. It's first Peter, you're living stones

being built up in a spiritual house. But you are

a royal priesthood. It was always God's heart for that,

from day one. It gives him a covenant of peace

and a perpetual priesthood because he was jealous for his

God and made a toonement for the people of Israel.

So when it says in Exodus thirty four fourteen, free

shall worship no other God. For the Lord whose name

is jealous is a jealous God. What are you fighting

over this morning? What is his jealousy lasered on? What

is his zeal lasered on this morning? I mean, we

could play church. We can all pretend and we all

just smile at each other, act like everything's perfect. Somebody

asks you how you're doing. You tell me f word.

I'm fine, because that's the four letter word of the church.

When you ask people how they're doing. I'm fine, and

you're like, no, you're not. Not only you're you not fine,

you just lied to me. Repent, gonna we're gonna finish

up with an exercise here in a minute. Okay, yay,

that we're finishing up or the exercise. Okay, that's a

lot of us time. Heard Debora Drisks going a while yay,

Roman's eleven fourteen in order somehow to make my fellow

Jews jealous and thus saved some of them. If you're

not living a life that has the very fruit of

the Covenant of God that the Jews have had, how

are you gonna make them jealous? There's been lots of

mud slinging on social media in the in recent weeks,

just all over the board, and it's it's it's heartbreaking

to watch this happen. But things are getting purified, and

it's but it's a mess. And one of the ministries

hammered another minister because he made over five hundred grand

and he's a minister, and yet this other ministry, see

I'm being a very good boy right now. This other

ministry comes out of a nonprofit organization there. He's a cessationist.

And it's funny because the cessationists hero. He also made

a John MacArthur also made a lot of money, and

they're slinging money. Not slinging money, they're slinging mud at

each other. Or the one ministry is. But I have

a question for you, and let me be clear on this.

I don't think that it's God's will that everybody's rich.

It's not. But I also don't think it's God's will

for everybody to be poor. I don't think it's spiritual

to be poor. I think that if you have to

ask money permission to obey God, you're in a bind

and that's not good, and that violates the scripture that

says there's an abundance of provision attached to the good

works you're called to walk in. So your provision follows

your assignment. So your obedience brings provision because you're walking

in his works that he's called you to walk in.

You with me, So you know I have to plead,

beg and pride you say, Father, thank you in advance

for everything I need to obey and follow your will

and fulfill my destiny. I thank you that it will come.

But with that said thin. Think about Solomon, richest man

in the world. What do you think the American church

leaders would do with him today? What camp would he

be lumped in? What kind of mud would be thrown

on him? See one of the dangers that's happening in

this moment. Yes, there are things being addressed in the

Body of Christ with leaders that the Lord's addressing. But

there's also the enemy taking a more opportune time, trying

to dig stuff up that was genuinely dealt with, and

he's trying to cause division and offense. I just want

to encourage you in this hour, stay humble, be quick

to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry, and

pray because, make no mistake, judgment starts first with the

House of God, and we're seeing it and I'm thankful

for it because he's drawing closer and that's a beautiful thing.

And the closer he gets, the more illuminated you are.

That means nothing we do, nothing we do will be hidden.

It's all laid bare before the Lord. Are y'all with me? Okay,

I'm finishing up. Paul said this, said Corinthians eleven to two.

For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I

betrothed you to one husband to present you as a

pure virgin to Christ. So Paul's heart was that the

Corinthian Church would be presented here before the Lord. You

can get to heaven with the flames touching your highnee

on the way in. I mean it literally says that, right,

some will exist, escape the flow. Just escape the flames.

That's exactly what they'll probably sound like. And they'll get

into heaven and they'll have no reward, but they're there.

That should not be the goal of your life. Are

you with me? Like? Your goal should not be like Osh,

that's hot, So thankful I got in. No, the goal

of your life should be well done. You were faithful

and a little now come because the moment the Lord

started calling us sons, and the old Covenant calling sons,

that was always almost every single time in the context

of the Divine Council, the sons of God and through Christ.

We've been invited into this divine Council and we will

rule and reign with him, and we will judge angels

in the life to come. So I want to encourage

you and challenge you this morning to raise the bar

of what you think you're called to and what you

think is possible for your life. There's plenty of negativity

out there. There's plenty of naysayers out there. Listen, get

around giant slayers. First thing I do if I'm exploring

something new, I find out where the people that are experts,

if you will, in that arena, and I start studying

why I don't want If I want to make money,

I'm not gonna go to some broke dude that's file

bankruptcy eighteen times. He can't help me, right, I'm gonna

go to somebody who maybe they've gone bankrupt, but they've

made money again. Ad company corrupts good habits. Scripture says,

So if you're trying to change your life, if there

are things in your life that you know you need

to give up to the Lord, but your closest friends

are doing all the same things, that's probably going to

be a bit a bit difficult for you to do that.

But if you start hanging around the people that are

pursuing the Lord the way you want to pursue the Lord,

they have a life, a relationship with Jesus that you want.

It's it's gonna encourage let me tell you something. When

I hang around, say my friend John Thomas. When I

hang around John Thomas, I always walk away wanting to

live a holier life. That's a blessing from him for

me with our friendship. When when I hang around Bonnie Shabda,

it just gives you a hunger for the glory, realm

and and and it stirs the prophetic like everybody is

a gift. Everybody has a gift. It says, use the

gift God's given you. And Minister y'all, stop waiting for

some crazy Lisa Us to say, are you waiting for

an angelic visitation? This was before I went back into

ministry again. And I looked at her said maybe she goes, well,

what if it doesn't come. I'm like, well, I want

to know that it's the right time. But if you

study the scriptures most of the time, y'all, all of

these encounters with the Lord that happen as you're what going,

you get transported from a place because like Surprisa, he's

about to have a machete put in his back and

him and his buddy closed their eyes and they open

their eyes and they're in the next town. Well, you

don't need to transport. If you're in your living room

sipping on coca cola, are you with me? These encounters

happened because you're about the father's business. John Paul said this,

When you are where you're supposed to be, God will

get you where you're supposed to be. Let's stand, we're

gonna do something a little bit different. So whoever's next

to you, that's who you're praying with. Make this simple.

So you're not running all over the place. Just look

and you and if you find somebody there, you go,

all right, get with somebody. And if you're by yourself

looking around, find somebody who's looking around to and connect.

This is what we're gonna do. Yeah, there you go.

That's my brother. He says, anything wrong, let me know.

So this is this is what I want I want

you all to do. I want you to pray for

each other, for God to increase his zeal inside of you,

and anything you feel comfortable with saying, hey, this is

this is something I really need to let go. Listen.

The Lord asked us to let go of things that

aren't even bad at times because he wants to give

us something even better. So it doesn't always have to

be some deep dark you know. Sin It could just

be like, hey, I I need to you know, only

drink three cups of coffee a day instead of six

or something like that, you know. So anyways, I'm not

talking about myself if you're wondering, but pray for that.

I want to. I want to just spend a couple

of minutes with body ministry where y'all pray for the

zeal of the Lord, the fire of the zeal of

the Lord, because I believe wholeheartedly with all my heart,

the Lord is wanting to fan a flame in us

that will not be quenched, that will continue to burn

brighter and brighter and brighter. So all right, y'all pray.

Chap.

As y'all are finishing up, I'm going to officially close us,

so those who are done will be blessed. So Father,

I thank you for your love. Lord, I thank you

for your zeal. I thank you that you're stirring us

up to good works. Lord, that you're purifying your bride

and realigning leader's Lord, thank you for your goodness, thank

you for your jealousy. Thank you that you are a

jealous God, that you are consuming fire. So Lord, would

you give us fresh fire, a fresh baptism, and a

fresh baptism of fire, that your fire would stir zeal, purity, holiness,

and the fear of the Lord. Have your way in

our lives, Lord, in our community, and can tend you

to bring healing over our land in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

All right, bless y'all,
