-
M okay.
-
I just want to give you a little warning before
-
I get started this morning. I'm gonna touch some golden
-
cows and if you and if you get if you kim,
-
you can't leave. I'm about to offend people. Ah, you
-
already remember I'm your pastor.
-
You gotta love me.
-
Well.
-
I guess you don't have to, but it's not gonna
-
work out well because Jesus got my back. I'm his favorite.
-
So for each of you, in case you didn't know it, Karen,
-
don't don't be caring it.
-
I know her.
-
She knows not to take that personally. I love you too, okay, y'all?
-
Oh?
-
Update, uh, Rob is out of surgery. Yes, how do
-
you say that last name? Darn Stett darnt. I'm not
-
saying darn like darn it, but like darnst Okay, he's
-
out of surgery. So that's good. How are you coming down?
-
You got the macro going, oh okay, that's our sound
-
guy and our probers, and our guy was like, why
-
are you walking down the stairs right now?
-
Get in your cave. So yesterday I was.
-
Talking to somebody and they started talking about next year
-
six and the last few years.
-
As you all know.
-
We pray into the year, and the Lord has given
-
us a prophetic theme, not necessarily a detailed prophetic word,
-
And the last couple of years have seemed to be
-
accurate enough that I don't know that I always want
-
to ask anymore about the next year. This last year
-
the theme was standing in the gap and fighting for
-
those that can't fight for themselves, and unfortunately we have
-
seen that theme repeat, repeat, repeat.
-
Throughout the year. The year before was we do hard things.
-
Taking grabbing hold of the promises of God, and there
-
was there was another little piece in there that I'm
-
having a moment, can't remember. But as I went to
-
ask the Lord Lord, what about next year? A word
-
came out and it was not intentional, and I said
-
the word stand instead of instead of another word. When
-
I was asking him, I was supposed to say, Lord,
-
what do you have in store for twenty twenty six?
-
And what came out of my mouth is what do
-
you have stand for twenty twenty six? And I felt
-
an emphasis on the word stand. And you know, with anything,
-
we get pieces, we see in part, we know in part.
-
But I want to tell you that in this next year,
-
you're going to be challenged over and over and over
-
to take your stand and stand for truth. We are
-
going to see truth challenged like never before. And it's
-
not time for the Church to fall asleep. It's not
-
time for the church to get the fear of man
-
and be scared of what's coming. I want to tell
-
you that there are moments, prophetic moments in our nation
-
that we have to.
-
Pay attention to.
-
For instance, nine to eleven, things massively shifted and did
-
not turn back. You had COVID twenty twenty, which was
-
a massive shift. You understand that New York is a
-
spiritual gait to our nation. And you also need to
-
understand that Islam, if they hold to the Kouran literally literally,
-
they are not peaceful. They cannot be I told you
-
I was going to start touching some stuff, and it's
-
important that we understand things that we pray for our nation.
-
We pray for the safety of our nation. I've said
-
for years that persecution was coming to the United States,
-
that it was going to start to cost us something
-
to say that we actually follow Jesus. And I want
-
to tell you that the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk was
-
another shifting moment concerning.
-
Persecution, he was not persecuted because of his political belief.
-
He was persecuted because of his faith, and because of
-
his faith, that's what led him to hold that particular
-
political belief. Islam is way more of a political system
-
than it is a religious system. Now, there are people
-
that are peaceful, that consider themselves Muslims that just don't
-
literally hold to the Quran. Literally.
-
When I was in Egypt, to my interpreter, I asked him,
-
I said, hey, Macon, I said, what percentage of Islam
-
is We may end up with a second strike on
-
our count, but we get three, so let's go for it.
-
I said, how, what percentage of them is actually a Jihattist?
-
And he goes, justin, I can't, I can't give you
-
a percentage. He goes, but we have a saying here
-
in Egypt, and this is his words. He said, a
-
Muslim will have you over for dinner until eventually you
-
are the dinner.
-
Now, if it sounds like I'm warning the or sounding
-
the alarm on.
-
Things, I am. The church must wake up there. The
-
beginning of the year, I told you there were prophetic
-
events coming, epic prophetic events, and they're gonna continue to come.
-
They're going to continue, the shakings will continue to increase.
-
I'm not saying any of this to scare you. It's
-
all in time stuff. You know, AI is gonna drastically
-
change the earth in the next couple of years. And
-
if you think that the digital idea is not coming
-
to the United States, you better pay closer attention to
-
what was just announced and how that is a back
-
door for that to come in.
-
Am I right? Yeah?
-
And so what am I saying. I'm saying we must
-
know the times and seasons we're in. And Jesus said,
-
stay awake, and I will promise you, with every breath
-
of my lungs, for the rest of my life, I
-
will speak truth and I don't give a crap if
-
it offends people as long as I know I'm speaking
-
truth and love and that is Greek for crap ola.
-
But we have got to be about our father's business
-
now more than ever, y'all.
-
We've got to keep our love on. We have to
-
the moment.
-
The moment you think this fight is about flesh and blood,
-
you've already lost the moment. You can't dissert the moment,
-
you can't decipher the diffference between foe and friend. You've
-
already lost the battle, and the church historically has been
-
really good at beating each other up, and the enemy
-
doesn't even have to come and mess with anything half
-
the time because we have thin skin and hard hearts
-
too many times when we should have thick skin and
-
soft hearts. Take your stand, You better determine now, how
-
are you going to stand in the future. There's a
-
spiritual battle raging right now, and everything that can be
-
shaken will be shaken. We are currently in a reprieve
-
to some degree, but don't fall asleep. The one thing
-
that we have done as the Body of Christ historically
-
over the last few decades is we have had moments
-
where we're shaken away and all you know, like nine
-
to eleven hits, all the churches fill up and everybody's
-
wide awake.
-
And then you fast forward.
-
And now there's an extremist who has just been voted
-
in as mayor.
-
Are y'all with me?
-
Your faith should put action to your voting, Like if
-
so many people set back this last election, and that's
-
why some of these things turned out the way they did,
-
we have to vote. Do you understand that the United
-
States is the last light, It's the last frontier. It
-
is the last frontier of freedom that you can literally
-
come together on a Sunday morning and preach the gospel
-
without fear of being taken out.
-
For the most part. I mean, I know.
-
Things are escalating, but if we don't stay awake and
-
understand that it's our responsibility to be the light and
-
assault to preserve, we're gonna wake up very so soon
-
to realize that half of the freedoms we thought we
-
had were taken because the water's been turned up slowly, slowly, slowly,
-
and all of a sudden it's boiling. Last week, I
-
had such an intense time for forty five minutes that
-
I've never been shaking and weeping for forty five minutes
-
straight like that. And I can't tell you everything that
-
we're going to navigate in the days ahead, and I'm
-
glad I can't, But I will tell you that we
-
have to learn how to stand in the midst of adversity.
-
We have to take our stand. Now.
-
You can't figure out what you're going to do in
-
the heat of the moment when stimulus hits. You have
-
to know your choice. Now, you with me, Ephesians six'
-
eleven to. Seventeen put on the whole armor Of, god
-
that you may be able to stand against the schemes the.
-
Devil for we do not wrestle against flesh and. Blood.
-
Stop It's god's heart that all come to, repentance not
-
just to select. Few jesus shed his blood for the,
-
world not just for those that will say, yes, period
-
but against the, rulers against the, authorities against the cosmic
-
powers over this present.
-
Darkness if you.
-
Recall one of the reasons why we pray over our,
-
leaders and we're commanded to pray for our leaders so
-
that we will live a peaceful, life is because there
-
are principalities over, nations and that principality its whole, goal
-
if it's a fallen, principality is to turn the collective
-
thought process and belief system of a nation towards lawlessness and.
-
Sin when a good principality is in, place its whole
-
goal is to help influence the thought process and belief
-
system of a nation towards, righteousness towards. Truth and, then
-
and this is what we're dealing. With we're not wrestling
-
against flesh and. Blood when you see an over an
-
outpouring of evil and lawlessness in a certain. Place when
-
things heat up and get, intense then you know and
-
this you know what's happening in the. Natural it started
-
in the spiritual, realm and so you have to deal
-
with it, spiritually not. Physically now there is righteous, war
-
and there is and you have a right to defend.
-
Yourself if somebody tries to come into your, house you
-
don't turn your, cheek you pump your.
-
Shotgun you're.
-
Welcome but if you are preaching the gospel and somebody gets,
-
offended then you turn the cheek and you offer them
-
the other. Cheek AM i touching any sacred?
-
Calls?
-
Yet, listen There's joel's army that rises up in the last.
-
Days pay attention read.
-
It they know they're, Laying they know their, honor they
-
know their, king and they know their, assignment and they
-
go in.
-
Unity you, know we have a tendency like when recession.
-
Hits, right if you're good and you're, prospering you don't
-
think much about. It your neighbor could be losing their
-
hind d and they're in the heat of the. Battle
-
but if you're if you're, good you, think, well you
-
know you.
-
Don't you don't seem, to we don't seem to take
-
it as. Serious but then if it hits, you then
-
it changes your.
-
Perspective, therefore take up the whole armor Of god that
-
you may be able to withstand the evil. Day, remember
-
gross darkness will cover the. People this is we are
-
watching two sides of a coin right now that crescendos.
-
Until the return Of.
-
Jesus and if you want to learn more about, eschatology
-
sign up For Daniel.
-
Unsealed ye, wait, Y'all, okay let me take a sip
-
of coffee for.
-
You but our, defense our first line of defense to
-
stand because it says stand and when you've done everything to,
-
stand stand. Firm our first line of defense is the
-
armor Of. God who's ever, Prayed i'm putting on the
-
armor in the, morning rite, peace by, peace let me
-
help you all. Out jesus is the, armor and if
-
you know, him you have the armor On He every
-
piece points back to. HIM i, Mean i'm not saying
-
that you can't pray and think about, this but when
-
it says take up the whole armor Of god that
-
you may be able to withstand in the evil.
-
Day having done all to stand.
-
Firm stand, therefore having fastened on the belt of, TRUTH i,
-
Said i've shared this first service with my mother in, Law,
-
grandy her, Dad ASA's grandfather had suspenders and his older,
-
age you. Know and one DAY i was there and
-
he didn't have his suspenders on that snug and you,
-
know sometimes you don't have as much padding back there,
-
to you, know to hold things where they need to.
-
Be And grandy got up out of the chair and
-
H and when he got up because the belt buckle
-
of truth was not quite tight, enough his pants in.
-
Place but that, truth WHICH i have a black Belt Jcy, pennies.
-
My dad actually is a third degree black beltman. Instructor
-
so watch, out he taught.
-
Me but fastened on the belt of, truth having put
-
on the breastplate of. Righteousness if you study the breastplate of,
-
righteousness you understand that in The Old covenant it was
-
called the breastplate of. Judgment then it is called In
-
romans the breastplate of. Righteousness the armor is actually called
-
the armor of light In, romans and the breastplate of
-
righteousness is called the breastplate of faith and love By.
-
Paul so what does that tell you that tells you
-
if you want to fortify that, breastplate then you better
-
understand that you must grow in this issue of faith and,
-
love because that's what fortifies the breastplate of. Righteousness so
-
in order to pursue righteousness, consistently you have to understand
-
that you have to grow.
-
In love and faith.
-
And as shoes for your, feet having put on the
-
readiness given by The gospel of.
-
Peace anybody ever have.
-
A dream where you're frantically running around barefoot and a
-
dream anybody had a dream where you didn't have your shoes,
-
On you're looking for your, shoes or your.
-
Shoes didn't quite fit.
-
Right, well shoes represent, peace AND i can promise you
-
more than likely you had that dream when you were
-
in a place of, chaos our anxiety and you were
-
trying to find your. Peace or it could be that
-
you're trying to walk in somebody else's. Shoes that happens
-
when we don't truly understand who we are and him
-
and that he didn't make a mistake when he made.
-
Us he's not interesting interested in you being a cobbin
-
carbon copy. Man that was like An East coast.
-
Accident for a, Second i'm a, Cabin i'm not from
-
The east.
-
Coast if you're, wondering.
-
He's not interested in you being a carbon copy of somebody.
-
Else he's interested in you and being Who he created
-
you to. Be and the anointing is attracted to. Authenticity
-
so find out what he's called you to, do and
-
be at peace with, it and do, it and you'll
-
Find god's favor on your life a whole lot more.
-
Than you trying to act like somebody else that was.
-
Free and it goes on to, say in all, circumstances
-
take up the shield of, faith with which it can
-
extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil.
-
One what are the flaming?
-
Darts the flaming darts are what are shot at Your
-
they are the thoughts that all of a sudden you,
-
get that begin to burn and you can't stop thinking
-
about that.
-
Thought and you're, thinking what is wrong with? Me even shot?
-
Spiritually and those are the fiery.
-
Darts but when your faith is, right it actually extinguishes
-
those fiery darts from hitting.
-
You they don't. Burn it's like.
-
Trauma when you've gone through, trauma trauma is like an
-
automatic replay on your. Mind subconsciously until that trauma is
-
dealt with in your subconscious it is literally replaying. NonStop
-
and that's why your anxiety level never. Drops that's why
-
your mind. Races if you've not broken generational curses from
-
The masonic, order your mind will race too because of the.
-
Witchcraft sacred cow boom number. Ten making sure you're, Awake it,
-
says If satan cast Out, satan he's divided against, himself
-
how then will his kingdom stand what's the first thing he?
-
Does?
-
Divides because he understands a kingdom or a house divided
-
cannot stand what's the first thing he? Does when he
-
wants to take out a church that is threatening its,
-
division he comes. In leviathan twists what you see and
-
what you. Hear you get, Offended you pack up your,
-
legos and you go, home and all of a, sudden
-
when that offense isn't dealt, with that root of bitterness
-
springs up in, you thereby defiling. Many the enemy doesn't
-
need a lot of, tricks, y'all because what he has.
-
Works but what if you had a community of believers
-
that we're more concerned about loving each other and outdoing
-
each other with honor rather than using each other and
-
viewing each other as. Enemies but if we had thick
-
skin and a soft, Heart what if we got rid
-
of bitter jealousy and selfish, ambition and we allowed the
-
fire Of, god his fiery love to purify our. Motives you,
-
understand we can look good on the. Outside you can
-
look at somebody's life and think that it's the most
-
amazing thing in the, world and every one of their
-
motives could be. Wrong and he says he doesn't look
-
on the. Outside he tries the reins of the heart
-
be with. Me sometimes we're obedient on the, outside but
-
not on the. Inside like the little, kid mom, says sit,
-
down and they finally sit down with their got this
-
face going. On they're not sitting down on the. Inside
-
they are only sitting down on the. Outside AND i
-
would petition to you that their motive might need a
-
little adjustment in that. Moment that's where some fivefold ministry comes, in,
-
right the belt of truth will bring an. Adjustment do
-
what my wife, said not everybody. Spinks let me say
-
something along those, lines Since i'm in the mood of offending.
-
Everyone part of the mess we're in is because people
-
have not properly disciplined their. Children NOTICE i said properly,
-
right that says spoil the. Rod that doesn't mean you
-
beat your. Kids SO i mean spare the, rod spoil my.
-
Language but, seriously, y'all my mom used to, say don't do,
-
that And i'd, say, well, mom you do, That and
-
then what would she? Say don't do? WHAT i? Do
-
WHAT i? SAY i look at my, Mom i'm, Like,
-
mom you know that's not, right, Right, like you can't say.
-
That that doesn't. Work who's having? Fun if a kingdom
-
is divided against, itself that kingdom cannot Stand mark three twenty.
-
Four now let me take it. DEEPER a house divided
-
when your heart is, fragmented and there's many rooms in your,
-
heart then guess What you're.
-
Divided and it's very difficult to.
-
Stand so this issue of the, kingdom it has to
-
advance inside of you, first so that you can stand
-
as a living stone In christ in his, righteousness with his,
-
peace and then as living stones come. Together, First, peter
-
we're building up a spiritual. Home jesus is the. Fulfillment
-
we do not need a physical third temple to fulfill any, scripture.
-
Y'all it's not.
-
Biblical i'm not saying there won't be a physical third,
-
temple because it sure looks like there will, be but
-
it does not fulfill. Prophecy my wife's looking at me
-
Like i've.
-
Had way too much.
-
Coffee First gritians sixteen. Thirteen be, watchful stand firm in the,
-
faith and act like. Men be. Strong women don't act like.
-
Men men act like, men. Y'all it is time for
-
the men to stand up and not be ashamed of
-
their masculinity for any. Reason in, fact some of y'all
-
probably need a ribbi steak to kick that tea? Up
-
AM i offering if you're? Paying but, y'all when the
-
divorce rate is just as high inside of the church
-
as outside of the, church what are we modeling as a.
-
Family we're, Saying, god your covenant is important until it gets.
-
Hard next, Month december, fifteenth will be twenty.
-
Six Years i've been, married.
-
And as y'all can, Tell lisa should probably get a
-
trophy for putting up with me for twenty six. Years
-
BUT i can tell but you're not supposed to clap that.
-
Hard BUT i can tell you this that it takes.
-
WORK i literally am like we do things to keep
-
our relationship.
-
GOOD i bring her fresh, FLOWERS i bring her coffee
-
in the. Morning but it takes.
-
Work just like you can't just spend your only spiritual
-
life or your only spiritual time On sunday morning and
-
expect to have a close relationship with The. Lord salvation's
-
free intimacy is very, costly it really. Is and we
-
have been sold bag of goods when it comes to
-
this issue of walking With. Jesus in case you hadn't
-
figured it, out it's not always your best life. Now,
-
no sometimes it's. Hard sometimes you feel like you're the
-
one in the garden saying not let this cup. Pass
-
and there's cups that we have been given that we
-
can't pass. Off there are cups that you're given in
-
your life that you can't explain why they, came and
-
you still have a question mark of why did this?
-
Happen but how you respond to that is.
-
Everything, See i'm convinced if we would be willing to
-
give up our right to know that this, journey this
-
destiny that we have In, him would get a whole
-
lot more. Exciting some weeks, ago WHEN i was WHEN
-
i was At streams for The TABERNACLE i was feeling
-
very beat up and drained because it's been such a
-
hard season AND i just didn't have any not much.
-
Left and The lord spoke to my heart and he,
-
says if you'll give up your right cart to carry
-
all this, stuff we can go on a. Journey See i'm.
-
Convinced See Holy spirit's. Moving i'm, Sorry i'm convinced that
-
too many. Times the reason why we battle with false
-
responsibility is because we're still convinced that somehow we're the
-
ones that are gonna.
-
Fix, it.
-
And so we keep going back to these. Places we
-
keep trying to carry everybody on our shoulders because we
-
have The i'm gonna fix.
-
It i'm the saber.
-
Syndrome that job was taken twenty twenty five years, ago
-
and he said it's, finished. Y'all if you give up
-
the false, responsibility give up the.
-
Burdens you know the result of.
-
That his peace when it says let the peace Of
-
christ rule and rain every single, day we have a
-
choice to Let his peace rule and.
-
Rain so here it, is you hold onto your life
-
and you lose.
-
It.
-
Because he who seeks to save his life show what lose.
-
It but if you lose his life for his, sake
-
then you find. It so every morning you wake, up
-
to the degree you choose to surrender your life and
-
embrace the, cross you find. Life and to the degree
-
that you don't do, that then you stay stuck in
-
cycles of. DEFEAT i want to challenge you this, week
-
go back and look through the script and how many
-
times From genesis To revelation was it just this easy
-
cake walk of walking into promises.
-
Some of you'll have Read.
-
It's Not He's jesus said in this life you're gonna have.
-
Trouble NOW i agree with.
-
You that should be.
-
Capitalized in big red, print the word. Trouble but he,
-
says take, Heart i've. Overcome and with every trial there's
-
an answer attached to. It so perspective the next time
-
you go into a suddenly not not a good, Suddenly
-

-
guess what? Happens oh, man the some of y'all are,
-

-
Own you're.
-
Welcome that's my stellar Pastoral, look.
-
That's ALL i.
-
Got, Sorry but.
-
Why DO i say?
-
That because we're supposed to be living in the. Impossible
-
you're supposed to get to the Dark knight of The,
-
spirit As John paul used to talk. About and what
-
is the Dark knight of The? Spirit you never leave.
-
It it is if he doesn't show, up nothing. Happens,
-
now you may have taken out seven of your, enemies
-
seven giants in the, land but there's still three that
-
you can't, conquer and you will stay stuck in your
-
destiny exactly where you're at for the rest of your
-
life until you recognize that because it's in your surrender
-
in worship that The father comes forward and fights those
-
battles on your, behalf and he brings back the head
-
of your enemy while you were. Worshiping and that's how
-
you inherit the fullness of your inheritance In, jesus recognizing
-
that there's giants in the land that you can't, beat
-
