The Year of Sacred Thresholds | Pastor Jesse Jernigan | 1.4.26 (Sermon)

And I'm excited today to preach the word

of God. I feel like the Lord has given

me a word for somebody in the house, but

I feel like the Lord has given me a word

for the house.

>> And and here's what I'm going to ask

you. How many of you today would say,

"Pastor, I want to be in position for

everything God desires to do in my life

in 2026." Are are you really ready for

that? And I and I'm going to be asking

you lots of questions. We're going to be

saying, we're going to be talking back

and forth a lot during the message

today. But I believe that God has given

me a specific word for you and your

family and for this house today. So, I

want you to grab your Bibles, jump to

your feet, go to Ezekiel chapter number

47.

Ezekiel chapter number 47.

And this is where I'm going to take my

uh my root text for today. Um, I I'm

going to be expounding a little deeper

upon this on Wednesday night, uh,

because I just don't have time to get

into everything today, uh, to be the

best steward of your time and of what

the Lord wants to do and desires to do

at the end of this service. But I I want

to make sure that we understand where we

are uh, positionally in the spirit, but

then also I want us to understand where

we're going spiritually, too. Uh because

it's one thing to know God is good, but

it's another thing to know God is good

and he is leading me to the next thing.

And and today many times we we have

people that wonder because they don't

have direction. We have people that

wonder because maybe they've received

direction but they don't want to submit

to direction.

>> Hello somebody. And today, I don't want

us to be caught up in either one of

those categories where we don't have

direction or we refuse to submit to

direction. Because here's what I've

learned, and many saints in the house

can attest to this, that when God gives

you direction, he's going to bless you

on the other side of that step of faith.

Amen. So today, I'm inviting us into a

moment, inviting us into a a series, a

thought of what God wants to do. Ezekiel

Ezekiel 47 · chapter mention

chapter 47, and I'm going to begin

reading with verse number one. If you

got it, say, "I got it."

>> I got it.

>> Then he brought me back to the door of

the temple.

Then he brought me back to the door of

the temple. And there was water.

Somebody say, "Water."

>> Water.

>> There was water flowing from under the

threshold. Somebody say threshold.

>> Threshold. flowing from under the

threshold of the temple toward the east.

For the front of the temple faced east,

and the water flowing from under the

right side of the temple, south of the

altar. He brought me out by the way of

the north gate, and led me around on the

outside of the out outer gate gateway

that faces east. And there was water

running out on the right side. And when

the man went out to the east with a line

in his hand, he measured 1,000 cubits

and he brought me through the waters and

the water came up to my ankles. Again,

he measured another thousand cubic or

this would be 2,000 from the threshold

and brought me through the waters and

the water came up to my knees. again

another thousand and he brought me

through and the water came up to my

waist and again he measured 1,000 and it

was a river that I could not cross for

the water was too deep water in which

one must swim a river that could not be

crossed and I want to add this little

thought right there a river that could

not be crossed and could not be

contained in Jesus name and he said to

me son of man have you seen this and And

he brought me and returned me to the

bank of the river. And when I returned

there along the bank of river, there

were many trees on one on uh on one side

and the other. And then he said to me,

"This water flows toward the eastern uh

the eastern region, goes down into the

valley, and enters the sea. And when it

reaches the sea, its waters are healed."

Now, we know this is a double-edged

sword, and the word of God can mean

multiple things at one time. This is

clearly depicting later on whenever the

Dead Sea comes back to life and the

Mount of Olives is split and there's

fresh water. But I believe it's got a

spiritual meaning to us today. And the

Bible says in verse number nine, "And it

shall be that every living thing that

moves wherever the rivers go will live."

Woo! I feel that there will be a great

multitude of fish because these waters

go there. for they will be healed and

everything will live wherever the river

goes and it shall be that fishermen will

stand by it uh from indeed and in Elgam

and it says that they will be places for

spreading their nets. Their fish will be

of the same kinds as the fish of the

great sea exceedingly many but its

swamps and marshes will not be healed.

They will be given over to salt along

the banks of the river on the on this

side and that will grow all kinds of

trees used for food. Their leaves will

not wither and their fruit will not

fail. They will bear fruit every month

because watch this. Their water flows

from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be

for food and their leaves for medicine.

today. I I I know it was quite a lengthy

scripture reading for me, but there's a

lot of things in this scripture that I'm

going to touch on today, many that I

will hold over either till Wednesday

night or maybe hold over till next

Sunday morning, depending on which way

the Lord will go. But this is something

that I've been wrestling with since the

beginning of 2024. And I had this on my

heart about this subject that I wanted

to preach all last year. But every time

I went to prep for it, the Lord did not

give me the conclusion of the matter and

would not give me peace in my mind to go

ahead and preach this. So, I've been

holding on to this for about a year and

asking God to give me clear direction on

where he would want me to go and how he

would want me to use this. But today,

the Lord gave me instruction over the

past several months that I'm supposed to

release this not just as a message, but

as the keynote message and the theme for

this next year. So I want to preach

today and let this be the theme for this

next year 2026 that this will be the

year of sacred thresholds in Jesus name.

Come on anybody excited about what God's

about to do in our hearts and God's

about to do in our lives.

I'm going to pray over this message and

as I do I've got a beautiful Bible for

Miss Andrea Jason Butter that and I've

got two other Bibles that I've been

holding on to for a little while. I was

supposed to give these out on pastor

appreciation day last year, but um I'm

just terrible about that and I hadn't

done it. But I've got a beautiful Bible

for brother Jack and a beautiful Bible

for brother Mack that I was going to

present to them on that day. But you

know, things happen and things get

twisted around and didn't didn't work

out quite like I thought in my mind. But

today, we're going to bless these

Bibles. We're going to pray over them

and we're going to pray over this

message and this theme. Will you do that

for me? Father, I thank you. I praise

you. I bless you today. And Lord, I

thank you for this word that we have in

our hand. Lord, I pray that it will be a

light to our feet and a lamp to our

path. I pray God that you would guide

us, speak to us through the word of God.

Let the power and the presence of God be

real. Lord, as Andrea opens that Bible,

I pray that you would speak to her as

brother Jack does, brother Mack does. I

pray, Lord, you would speak to them.

Lord, let it be strength to their bones.

Let it be strength to their spirit. And

Lord, I pray today that you would add

blessings to your word, Lord. that we

would not leave here the same way, but

we would leave here, God, knowing that

you have set us up for this moment in

2026 to see your goodness and your mercy

come. Bless your people. Bless them by

your power. And God, I'll give you

praise. In Jesus name we pray. And

everybody says, "Amen." And amen. You

may be seated in the presence of the

Lord this morning.

The year of sacred thresholds. As we

begin this thought in this series, I

have to uh just digress for just a

moment and let you understand that what

we see and what we are reading here in

the book of Ezekiel is none other than

just a vision that the Lord gave to this

great man of God concerning the children

of Israel and God's precious people. And

as we as we visit this, I have to begin

with this thought and this in this

series. And we must highlight and

dissect the vision that Ezekiel is

exposing in this moment because I want

you to understand as he was beginning to

see this vision that God gave him and

begin to articulate what God was showing

him, the historical and spiritual

surroundings that are around this

context or around this moment are

critically important for us to

understand today. Israel is surrounded

in this moment of this vision by death

and uncertainty. UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE

TEMPLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A

BEAUTIFUL PLACE THAT THEY COULD COME AND

visit and worship their God. This was a

moment in history where the temple had

been destroyed and the temple had been

messed up. It was uncertainty about the

temple, uncertainty about territory that

they had and they possessed. BUT IT WAS

ALSO UNCERTAINTY IN THE HEART OF EZEKIEL

TOWARD the future of God's people. While

there were fi real physical and real

financial and real cultural and

political ISSUES AND PRESSURES THAT WERE

COMING ON THE people of God that day.

And listen, I want you to understand all

of those things matter in context. And

all of those things matter in their own

right. But I want YOU TO UNDERSTAND

EZEKIEL however was not centering HIS

VISION AND WHAT GOD GAVE HIM on all OF

THESE EXTERIOR COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL

AND FINANCIAL, cultural or political,

but instead Ezekiel was zeroing in on

the one vital element that God gave him,

and that was the spiritual future of

God's people. This brings TREMENDOUS

CLARITY TO MY HEART and to our heart

today as we read this vision when it

comes from the Holy Spirit. And that is

this that true order does not come from

political standards or cultural

definitions. It it does not COME FROM UH

PHYSICAL PLACES OR EVEN A FINANCIAL

STABILITY STANDPOINT. But true order

always starts in the spirit realm

according to the word of God. And I'll

say this. If anything is going to BE SET

IN ORDER IN your life and in my life, IF

ANYTHING'S GOING to be set in order and

our lives ARE GOING TO ALIGN WITH GOD'S

WILL, HIS PURPOSE, AND HIS CALLING AND

HIS DESIGN FOR OUR LIFE, IT CANNOT START

IN A POLITICAL REALM. IT CANNOT START IN

A PHYSICAL REALM. AND IT CANNOT START

WITH JUST HAVING OUR FINANCES IN ORDER.

BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND TRUE

ORDER must start spiritually in Jesus

name. Can I tell you that many times we

miss this. WE WANT MENTAL HEALTH BEFORE

WE HAVE SPIRITUAL HEALTH.

>> Come on. THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF YOUNG

PEOPLE MISS IT. WE SAY, "WELL, WE GOT TO

GET THEM MENTAL HEALTH. WE GOT TO GET

THEM HELP. WE GOT TO GET THEM

COUNSELING." BUT WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

WE TOOK THEM TO THE WORD OF GOD AND

SAID, "LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE GOD OF

ALL HEAVEN AND ALL GLORY SAYS ABOUT YOUR

LIFE. I KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS

AND I KNOW WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA SAYS. I MAY

EVEN KNOW WHAT THE MEDIA OUTLETS MAY SAY

ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE

BY NOW. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, THERE'S

NOTHING THAT WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF THE

WORD OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE. THE ENEMY WILL

WAR AGAINST YOUR MIND. BUT THE MOMENT

YOU ALLOW THE WORD OF GOD TO INTERJECT

ABOVE THE VOICE OF THE ENEMY IS THE

MOMENT THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IN YOUR LIFE

BECOMES STABLE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN

YOUR LIFE BECOMES NORMALIZED. BECAUSE

LET ME TELL YOU, WHEN OUR SPIRITUAL

HEALTH IS RIGHT, EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND

US WILL FALL IN LINE.

>> Everything else AROUND US WILL FALL IN

LINE. EZEKIEL KNEW THIS GOING INTO THIS

VISION. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT ALL THESE

OTHER EXTERIOR THINGS ARE IMPORTANT. BUT

IF WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS THING RIGHT,

THEN WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO spiritual

living. We've got to get back to

spiritual living. We've got to get back

to a place in our life where we

understand that God has not put us here

by accident, but God has put us here on

purpose. And I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

THIS VISION was given around 537 BC,

even a long time ago. AND IT WAS A PLACE

THAT THE IMPLICATIONS WERE COMING TO THE

CHILDREN of Israel. But can I tell you

that the vision MAY HAVE BEEN TO A

SPECIFIC PEOPLE BACK THEN, BUT GOD SAID

IT'S TIME TO TAKE THAT THING and let it

face FORWARD TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL

CONGREGATION IN 2026 AND LET YOU

UNDERSTAND THAT THE VISION SPOKE BACK

THEN, BUT I DECLARE the vision is about

to speak again IN THIS HOUSE TODAY. I

WANT TO KNOW IS ANYBODY READY TO RECEIVE

the vision THAT GOD HAS FOR THIS house

in 2026?

All right. I got about 17 people that

ARE WITH ME ON THIS SUNDAY MORNING. BUT

IF YOU WILL GET WITH ME TODAY AND YOU'LL

DECLARE OVER THIS HOUSE THAT WE'RE GOING

TO STEP INTO THE VISION, INTO THE

CALLING, INTO THE PURPOSE, INTO THE

PROMISES OF GOD, THEN I DECLARE TO YOU

THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO STEP INTO IT QUICKER

THAN IF WE WERE SEPARATED. BUT IF YOU'RE

IN UNITY WITH YOUR PASTOR TODAY AND YOU

SAY, "I'M READY TO STEP IN." 1 2 3. I

WANT YOU TO GIVE GOD A LITTLE PRAISE IN

THE HOUSE TODAY.

THIS VISION WAS AROUND 53 573 BC OR THAT

THAT RELATIVE AREA, BUT IT WAS TO A

DESTROYED PEOPLE LIVING IN EXILE. BUT I

DECLARE TO YOU, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE

PEOPLE IN EXILE BACK THEN, BUT I DECLARE

OVER THIS CONGREGATION, WE WILL NOT LIVE

IN EXILE SPIRITUALLY. WE WILL NOT LIVE

IN DEFEAT SPIRITUALLY. WE WILL NOT LIVE

IN DESTRUCTION SPIRITUALLY. BUT I

DECLARE TO YOU THAT I HEAR THE VOICE OF

A READY RIDER SPEAKING AND WHISPERING IN

MY EAR TODAY THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD

IS COMING TODAY TO SET YOU AND I UP FOR

THE GREATEST YEAR THAT WE'VE EVER HAD

SPIRITUALLY INSIDE OF THIS HOUSE. I

DECLARE TO YOU IT'S NOT GOING TO BE

SOMETHING THAT WE JUST COAST THROUGH

2026, BABY. BUT I DECLARE WE'RE ABOUT TO

STEP INTO SOMETHING THAT WE'VE NEVER

SEEN BEFORE THAT EYES HAVE NOT SEEN,

EARS HAVE NOT HEARD. I DECLARE TO YOU

WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE HEALING TAKE PLACE AT

A RECORD SPOT. COME ON. I DECLARE WE'RE

ABOUT TO SEE FAMILIES TRANSFORMED. I

DECLARE WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE PEOPLE BOUND

BY DRUGS WALK IN AND IN A MOMENT THEY'RE

GOING TO SOBER UP. I DECLARE 2026 THE

WORD OF THE LORD OVER THIS CHURCH IS

WE'RE ABOUT TO STEP OVER SOME SACRED

THRESHOLDS AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS FOR THIS

HOUSE. 1 2 3. GIVE HIM PRAISE.

WE MUST HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD THAT

is setting us up for 2026. AND YOU ARE

STEPPING INTO A PLACE WHERE SPIRITUAL

HEALING BEGINS AND IS ALSO COMPLETED IN

THE SAME YEAR. A SEASON WHERE SPIRITUAL

STRENGTH MOVES TO THE FOREFRONT OF OUR

LIVES. AND LET ME SHOW YOU THIS.

WHATEVER THE ENEMY TRIED IN 2025, AND

I'LL GO AND SAY LIKE THIS. IT MAY LOOK

LIKE THE ENEMY SUCCEEDED IN 2025, BUT

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT GOD IS ABOUT

TO GIVE A VICTORY SPEECH TO EVERYTHING

THE ENEMY TRIED TO DO IN 2025. IN 2026,

HE'S ABOUT TO STAND UP AND SAY, "I KNOW

YOU GOT THAT DIAGNOSIS IN 25, BUT LET ME

TELL YOU, 2026 IS A CLEAN BILL OF

HEALTH. AND I SPEAK HEALING, AND I SPEAK

VICTORY." YOU SAY, "I WAS ABOUT TO FILE

FOR DIVORCE IN 2025." AND MAYBE I DID.

BUT BABY, LET ME TELL YOU, THE SAME GOD

THAT REDEEMED YOU BEFORE IS THE SAME GOD

THAT CAN TAKE YOUR MARRIAGE AND TURN IT

BACK AROUND IN 2026 AND SAY, "LET'S PUT

THIS BABY ON A SOLID FOUNDATION." IS

THERE ANYBODY READY FOR GOD TO SHIFT

SOME THINGS AND BRING A VICTORY SPEECH

IN 2026?

And I'm GOING TO SAY THIS, GOD HAS not

let anybody go unaccounted for. That's

right.

>> You say, "Pastor, what about me? What

about me and my family and everything

I've got going on?" Let me let me let

you in on a little bit of secret. God

has not forgotten about you.

>> God has not abandoned you. God has not

said just because you come in and you

dip out early that he does not see you.

But let me say this. God has not written

you off. And the hope of the gospel that

is that was echoing so loud in 2025 is

echoing again in this house today and

2026 to let you know let you know in

this house that he whom the son has set

free is free indeed. If the Lord sets

you free no man can bind you up.

Woo. Come on. And I declare this in 2026

that we're about to loose SOME THINGS ON

EARTH THAT ARE GOING TO BE LOOSED IN

HEAVEN. WE'RE ABOUT TO BIND SOME THINGS

ON EARTH THAT ARE GOING TO BE BOUND IN

THE HEAVENLY REALM. And I declare this,

the spirit OF LACK THAT HAS TRIED TO

COME TO YOUR LIFE. I BIND IT IN THE NAME

OF JESUS. AND I DECLARE THERE'S ABOUT TO

BE A SPIRIT OF ABUNDANCE LOOSED OVER

YOUR LIFE. A SPIRIT OF ABUNDANCE LOOSED

OVER YOUR FAMILY. A SPIRIT, COME ON, I

FEEL THAT. A SPIRIT OF ABUNDANCE LOOSED

OVER EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE. AND LET ME

GO AHEAD AND PROPHESY. I AM BELIEVING IN

THIS YEAR BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR

YEAR IF THE LORD DELAYS HIS COMING till

then. Come on. IF HE TOOT IF HE SCOOT

TOOTSES, THEN GUESS WHAT? WE GOING TO

SCOOT AND GET OUT OF HERE. AND I'M OKAY

WITH THAT. BUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I

DECLARE THIS. I AM BELIEVING THAT IN

THIS HOUSE, WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE DOUBLE

THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT WE SAW LAST

YEAR. AND GOD'S GOING TO GIVE US FAVOR

TO LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP. AND I WANT TO

KNOW, IS THERE ANYBODY WITH PASTOR

THAT'LL SAY, "I'M READY TO SEE IT."

BECAUSE IF THE HOUSE IS BLESSED,

OH, COME ON. I SAID IF THE HOUSE IS

BLESSED, THEN YOU BETTER GET READY. GET

READY. GET READY. CUZ YOUR HOUSE IS

ABOUT TO BE BLESSED. IF YOU'RE READY TO

BE BLESSED IN 2026, I DARE YOU TO JUMP

TO YOUR FEET AND GIVE GOD ABOUT 10

SECONDS OF A PROPHECY BLESSED PRAISE AND

SAY, "GOD, I'VE GOT IT. I BELIEVE IT. I

TRUST YOU FOR IT." HALLELUJAH TO THE

LAMB OF GOD.

UNDERSTAND? HE SAID IN EZEKIEL 47 VERSE

NUMBER ONE, THEN he brought me back to

the door of the temple. To the door of

the temple. And I want you to understand

this was the heartbeat of this vision.

This was the heartbeat of this moment,

the heartbeat of the entire vision.

Because God placed importance because

God places importance on one thing, the

temple. And I will say this, if God or

if it's a priority for God, it must be a

non-negotiable for you and I.

>> So, let's be clear. 2026 is not the year

to step away from the church.

>> Come on. 2026 is not the year for our

our attendance to be sporadic. 2026 is

the YEAR FOR US TO JUMP IN FULLY TO WHAT

GOD IS DOING AND SAY, "LORD, WHATEVER

YOU'RE DOING, DON'T DO IT WITHOUT ME IN

Jesus name."

>> Come on, somebody. I I I JUST BE HONEST.

GOD LOVES EVERYBODY. But if you going to

drag your feet and you going to stay IN

THE SHALLOW END, I don't know if God's

going to be ready to use you IN 2026.

BUT IF YOU'LL BE LIKE YOUR PASTOR AND

SAY, "LORD, WHATEVER YOU GOT, I'M JUST

GOING TO JUMP IN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S

GOING TO LOOK LIKE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT

IT'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE. I DON'T EVEN

KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE. BUT

LORD, I'M GOING TO TRUST YOU AND I'M

GOING TO JUMP IN. THEN GOD WILL USE YOU.

I'LL SAY THIS. NO DISTANCING IN 2026. NO

PULLING AWAY FROM YOUR CALLING. NO

RUNNING FROM THE CHURCH. BUT I WILL SAY

IT LIKE THIS. RUN TO THE CHURCH. LEAN

INTO THE CHURCH. GET INVOLVED IN THE

CHURCH. YOU SAY, "PASTOR, YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT I DID LAST WEEK. I DON'T FEEL LIKE

I'M WORTHY TO COME IN THE HOUSE OF GOD."

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. LET ME TELL YOU

SOMETHING. THAT'S JUST WHAT THE ENEMY

WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT I MESSED UP LAST

WEEK, SO I CAN'T GO TO MY FATHER'S

HOUSE. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT A

LOVING GOD WHO SAID, "I PAID IT ALL FOR

YOU. I DIED ON A CROSS. I SHED MY BLOOD.

YOU MAY HAVE MESSED UP LAST WEEK." BUT

HERE'S HOW OUR FATHER DOES. HE STANDS

WITH HIS ARMS OPEN WIDE. SAY, "I KNOW

YOU MESSED UP, BUT I LOVE YOU ANYWAYS. I

KNOW YOU'RE BROKEN, BUT I LOVE YOU

ANYWAY. I KNOW YOU FELT." COME ON,

SOMEBODY. HOW MANY YOU CAN SAY? SO MANY

TIMES IN MY LIFE, GOD HAS OPENED HIS

ARMS TO ME AS A GOOD FATHER AND HE

BROUGHT ME BACK IN EVEN WHEN I DID NOT

DESERVE IT. IF THAT'S YOU, I DARE YOU TO

HELP ME PRAISE GOD FOR JUST A SECOND.

OH, HALLELUJAH. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN THE

FOR THE LORD WHO WAS ON MY SIDE, I WOULD

NOT BE HERE TODAY. BUT BLESSED BE THE

NAME OF THE LORD, HE BROUGHT ME BACK

HERE. HE IS A GOOD FATHER. CAN YOU SAY

AMEN?

>> He's a good father. The devil is a liar

telling you you don't need to go to that

church. Shut up, devil.

>> Matter of fact, here's what I'll tell

you. If you did mess up, come to the

church.

>> Hello.

Is this thing on? I'll clap. I'll clap.

Just for the people on the front row.

Cuz I'm going to tell you this. The

enemy will convince you that you're not

worthy. He always uses partial truth to

talk you out of everything God has for

you.

>> Cuz really, if we're being real honest,

none of us are worthy.

>> Hello. He can use a partial truth, but

he don't ever tell you the rest of the

story. You're right, Mr. Devil. I may

not be worthy, but God said I'll redeem

him anyways.

>> Oh, I feel that. I don't want to get

hung up right here cuz I got a long way

to go. But I'm going to tell you, in the

name of Jesus, GOD HAS NOT CALLED US TO

BE JUDGMENTAL TOWARDS SOMEBODY WHO MAY

HAVE BEEN BROKEN ALL WEEK LONG. HE HAS

NOT CALLED US TO SIT HERE AND LOOK DOWN

OUR NOSE AT THEM AND SAY, "OH, HOW DARE

YOU?" BUT WHAT HE HAS CALLED US TO DO IS

STAND HERE IN THIS PLACE AND SAY,

"LISTEN, THIS IS A HOSPITAL FOR THE

HURTING. THIS IS A PLACE FOR THE BROKEN.

AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO COME IN HERE,

WHEN YOU STEP ACROSS THE THRESHOLD OUT

THERE, ALL YOU GOING TO FIND IS LOVE.

ALL YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IS PEACE. ALL

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IS JOY. AND IT'S

GOING TO COME THROUGH THE POWER AND THE

PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD." I WANT TO

KNOW, DO I HAVE A CHURCH THAT'S

COMMITTED IN 2026 TO SAY, "COME ON IN.

HOWEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE, I

DON'T CARE IF YOU IDENTIFY THE WRONG

WAY. COME ON IN AND LET'S FIND OUR

FREEDOM IN CHRIST TOGETHER.

>> OH, HALLELUJAH.

>> THAT GOES FOR EVERYBODY.

>> I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY

CONFUSED. YOU come here and God will

redeem you.

>> Hello.

>> I DON'T CARE WHAT SOCIOECONOMIC

BACKGROUND YOU COME FROM. I DON'T CARE

HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR HOW MUCH

MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE. I DON'T CARE WHICH

WAY YOU VOTED IN THE LAST ELECTION. I

DON'T CARE WHERE YOU CAME FROM. WHAT I

WANT TO KNOW IS, DO YOU KNOW THIS GREAT

FATHER THAT I KNOW? HAVE YOU BEEN

REDEEMED BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD? ARE YOU

PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST? AND THAT'S

ALL I WANT TO KNOW.

>> Because in that MOMENT WHEN WE GIVE THEM

A CHANCE TO BELONG BECAUSE I'LL TELL

YOU, PEOPLE ARE JUST looking for hope.

Come on.

>> HOW DARE THE CHURCH when somebody comes

in, look at them and say, "Well, I don't

know if God can redeem them."

>> You say, "Well, I DON'T WE DON'T WE

NEVER SAY THAT TO NOBODY." YOU MAY not

say it with your face in your mouth, but

I mean with your mouth, but you may say

it with your face.

>> Come on.

>> We've all been guilty. So, let's go

ahead and put oursel in the guilty box,

every one of us.

But how dare we stand back there and we

see somebody run to an altar and we know

where they was last week.

>> Hello.

>> We know they messed up. They broke and

we look at them and say, "Well, how dare

they get up there and praise like that?"

Listen, if you knew the absolute hell

they had to go through just to step

inside of a church,

>> then what? Let me just get Can I get

down here and just preach for just a

second? Woo! I done left my notes. They

done long gone, Dexter. I don't even

know what I'm doing. But instead of us

sitting here and saying, "Look at them

over there. How dare they praise like

that? Don't they look ridiculous? They

don't even know they're too far gone."

Instead of us sitting here with a

religious spirit like that, you know

what God is looking for in 2026. We see

somebody down here dancing their heart

out and say, "I'm going to give God

praise." He's looking for somebody that

will not sit right there and judge, but

somebody that'll get up, walk right over

there to them, AND SAY, "HEY, SIS. HEY,

BROTHER. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A

HARD TIME. ME, TOO. NOW, LET'S PRAISE

GOD TOGETHER. LET'S GIVE GOD GLORY

TOGETHER. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT'LL STEP

IN THE MESS WITH SOMEBODY AND SAY, "I

KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH. I KNOW

RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT." BECAUSE GUESS

WHAT? GOD REDEEMED ME, TOO, AND HE

BROUGHT ME A MIGHTY LONG WAY. IS THERE

ANYBODY THAT'LL SAY, "I'M THANKFUL THAT

HE BROUGHT ME OVER THE MESS AND THROUGH

THE MESS. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I'M READY

TO SEE SOMEBODY ELSE REDEEMED FOR THE

GLORY OF GOD." 1 2 3. GIVE HIM PRAISE IN

THE HOUSE.

>> HE BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE DOOR OF THE

CHURCH. HE BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE DOOR

OF THE CHURCH. WHICH MAKES ME UNDERSTAND

AND THINK TO MYSELF, WHAT IF GOD WAS TO

BRING THE RAPIST, AWFUL SINNER TO THE

DOOR OF OUR CHURCH? WOULD THEY FIND

FREEDOM OR WOULD THEY FIND JUDGMENT?

>> WOULD THEY FIND A PLACE WHERE GOD CAN

REDEEM THEM? OR WOULD THEY FIND A PLACE

WHERE PEOPLE WOULD LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSE

AT THEM AND SAY, "I DON'T THINK THAT

THEY HAVE A CHANCE." BUT I DECLARE IN

THE NAME OF JESUS, WE WILL NOT JUDGE

THEM, BUT WE'LL JOIN THEM IN THAT MOMENT

AND SAY, "COME ON, BROTHER. COME ON,

SISTER. WE GOT THIS." AND WE'RE GOING TO

STEP IN THE POWER AND THE grace of God

together.

>> Look at your neighbor. Say, "We're going

to do it.

>> We're going to do it. We're going to

live according to the word of God. We're

going to walk according to the word of

God because this is the year of sacred

thresholds." Yes.

>> To hear of sacred thresholds,

understand where we are and where God is

taking us is two different places. It

requires change.

>> Understand each one of us, if we're

being honest, we like things to stay the

same. Especially

if you have kids and you have to get up

in the middle of the night and traverse

through your house without breaking

anything.

I'm so used to our house. We were at the

hunting camp this past week and and when

I got up to feed the baby in the middle

of the night and there were several

times there were little tables that was

behind the couches. There ain't no

tables behind our couches at our house.

Mm- And I'm already dead asleep. I'm

like feeding the baby like, "Oh yes,

Jesus. Hallelujah. God, you're so good."

I'm just ready to go back to sleep. Is

she asleep yet? Oh yeah, she's still

she's still drinking the bottle. It's

all good. But I get up and I just

started waking my way through and all a

sudden I'm like knocking stuff over,

tipping things up. What in the world?

Because we like for things to stay the

same. We like to have the same paths. We

drive the same way. We drive the same

speed limit sometimes. We do things the

same way all the time. We We like to

have things in a routine and a ritual.

We like to have those things because it

brings comfort to us. It brings security

to us. But can I tell you when you're

serving God, all that security and all

that comfort goes out the door.

>> Oh, come on. Let let me just go ahead

and let you know that I believe this

year, the year of sacred thresholds,

we're about to step into some places

that some of y'all going to be like,

"Oh, God." I don't know if we're

supposed to do that or not. But let me

tell you, let's go ahead and trust the

word of the Lord over THIS HOUSE THAT IF

HE'S going to AB ASK US TO STEP THERE,

HE'S GOING TO BLESS US ON the other side

of the step in Jesus name. Oh, come on.

I I'm trying to work some wine skins

right now cuz I feel a LITTLE

RESISTANCE. WELL, PASTOR, I LIKE FOR

EVERYTHING TO BE THE same every time I

COME IN THE CHURCH. WELL, LISTEN. WE'VE

GOT TO GET OUT OF THAT BECAUSE THERE'S

GOING TO BE A TIME YOU COME IN THAT YOUR

SEAT IS TAKEN BY SOMEBODY.

>> Oh my my my. That's a Let's just go

ahead and deal with the root level of

this. It's not about us.

>> Come on. When we come in this house, IT

AIN'T EVEN ABOUT US. IT AIN'T ABOUT WHAT

WE'RE DOING. AIN'T ABOUT WHAT WE CAN GET

OUT OF THIS. WE'RE HERE TO GET TANKED UP

SO WE CAN TAKE THE MESSAGE OF FREEDOM

RIGHT OUT THOSE DOORS. TAKE IT RIGHT

INTO OUR PLACE OF WORK, RIGHT INTO OUR

SCHOOL, RIGHT INTO THE MARKETPLACE, AND

LET THIS WHOLE WORLD KNOW THAT THE SAME

GOD THAT REDEEMED ME IS HERE TO REDEEM

YOU THROUGH ME. AND I DECLARE THAT GOD

IS GOING TO GIVE ME GRACE TO WALK THIS

THING OUT IN JESUS NAME.

>> I know some people don't like being out

of their comfort zone, but you don't

come to the wrong church with the right

p wrong pastor on the wrong Sunday.

>> Cuz I'm going to try my best to not let

you stay in your comfort zone.

>> Hello.

>> I'm going to try my best. If I can make

you uncomfortable, I'm doing my job.

Hey, y'all look at me like y'all

uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable.

I done done real good. I done made

myself uncomfortable

BECAUSE GOD WANTS US TO UNDERSTAND WE

COME TO CHURCH, we're not here to be

pacified.

Give me a bottle, pastor. No, I ain't

give you no bottle. You've been serving

God for 40 years. You ought to be eating

steak by now.

>> I NEED THIS LAST WEEK. I NEED SOMETHING

TO EAT. FEED YOURSELF THROUGH THE WEEK.

>> I don't know where none of this come

from. It ain't in my notes, but I'm just

going to go ahead and just go down this

trail for just a second just to make you

and I both uncomfortable in this moment

because let me tell you something.

you're depending on me to be your only

spiritual food all your life, you are

going to be a sad state of a Christian.

But if you'll get up every day and

realize that this word is for you to eat

and this word is for you to devour. This

word is for you to take in and say,

"God, GIVE ME NOURISHMENT EVERY SINGLE

DAY I WAKE UP, CAN I TELL YOU, THE

CHURCH WOULD NOT HAVE ROOM TO HOLD THE

PEOPLE IF WE WOULD EAT THROUGHOUT THE

WEEK BECAUSE WE'D HAVE SOMETHING THEN TO

SHARE WITH THE WORLD THAT WOULD BREAK

THEM OUT OF THE MESS THAT THEY'RE IN."

GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR A PACIFIED

CHURCH. HE IS LOOKING FOR A PURSUING

CHURCH THAT'LL SAY, "GOD, DO WHATEVER

YOU WANT TO DO. MOVE THE MESS. FEED ME

AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO."

>> MHM.

>> He brought me back to the door of the

temple.

>> And I want to I want to say this,

the church is very important to God.

Amen.

>> We in our finite mind, we like to have

plan A, B, C, and D.

Just in case A don't work out, I still

got B, C, and D to work out. If A and B

fail, I still got C and D. A, B, and C

and C fail, then I still got D. If they

all fail, we all in a mess. Come on.

Then it's like, let's keep going to the

alphabet. See what we can figure out.

Let's just make something up. Come on.

It's true.

But I want you to see this. We We like

to have all these options, BUT GOD WORKS

DIFFERENTLY.

>> Because God didn't give options.

>> That's right.

>> What you mean, pastor? There is no plan

A, B, C, or D for taking the gospel to

the world.

>> Hello.

>> There is one plan. It's the church.

We are the only plan in Jesus name.

>> Oh, come on. I I feel I feel a little

resistance right there. So, let me work

for a second. I want you to understand

the church is still the answer. The

house of God is still the answer. The

people of God are still the answer. Why?

Because God gave gifts to the church.

The five-fold ministry gifts, apostles,

prophets, evangelists, pastors, and

teachers. He gave those to THE CHURCH TO

BE EQUIPPED SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE SEAL

OF HIS PRESENCE AND THE POWER OF HIS

PRESENCE ON OUR LIFE. THE SEAL ON THE

CHURCH AND THAT HE PLACED HIS ANOINTING

ON THE CHURCH NOT TO SIT INSIDE OF A

BUILDING BUT TO TAKE THE MESSAGE OF THE

GOSPEL OUT THERE. CAN I TELL YOU WE ARE

THE CHURCH AND HERE IS ONE OF OUR CORE

ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS NEXT YEAR. GOD IS

CALLING THIS CHURCH TO PUSH BACK

DARKNESS AND TAKE TERRITORY FOR THE

KINGDOM OF GOD.

WOO! COME ON. IS ANYBODY READY TO PUSH

BACK SOME DARKNESS AND TAKE TERRITORY

FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD? WE DON'T BECOME

PART OF THE CHURCH BY A CLASS, A CARD,

OR A CLIPBOARD. WE BECOME PART OF THE

CHURCH BY EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE BLOOD

OF JESUS CHRIST WASHING AWAY OUR SINS

AND BECOMING A NEW CREATION. BEING BORN

AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WHICH MEANS

WHEN WE'RE BORN AGAIN, WE'RE NOT CALLED.

AND WE'RE NOT BORN TO BE BYSTANDERS.

WE'RE NOT CALLED TO BE SIDELINE

CHRISTIANS. AND WE'RE NOT CALLED TO BE

AIR OR ARMCHAIR PASTORING SPIRITUAL

DECISIONS FROM OUR LEADERSHIP. BUT I

WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK

TO ONE THING AND THAT IS THE SOURCE THAT

IS IN THE FRONT. AND HIS NAME IS JESUS

CHRIST. AND WHEN WE UNDERSTAND HE IS THE

CHURCH. HE IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.

IT'S NOT ME. I'M NOT THE HEAD OF THE

CHURCH. DENOMINATIONS ARE NOT THE HEAD

OF THE CHURCH. JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE

CHURCH. AND WHEN WE FOLLOW HIM, HE'S

GOING TO EQUIP US AND ANOINT US TO DO

WHAT HE'S CALLED us to do.

>> Cuz understand, God will take us to the

source before he shows us the results.

>> And that's exactly what he did to

Ezekiel. He said, "I'm going to take you

back to the door of the temple." Take

you back to the door of the temple. But

then it said something powerful and in

in the same verse right after that it

said and there was water and there was I

want you to understand there was death

all around God's people because there

was no water outside. The first thing

God shows Ezekiel was that water was

found at the door of the temple. What

they needed out there was found inside.

>> What they needed WHERE EVERYTHING WAS

DYING WAS FOUND inside the temple. The

temple and the water went together. That

means THE HOUSE OF GOD AND REFRESHING go

hand in hand. Sanctuary, THE SANCTUARY

AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GO HAND

IN HAND. NOW WATCH THIS. WE ARE

EXPERIENCING WATER ON THE INSIDE OF THE

CHURCH. BUT WHILE WE'RE EXPERIENCING

WATER ON THE INSIDE OF the church, THE

PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE WALLS are dying in a

spiritual desert.

>> SOME BELIEVERS COME SUNDAY TO SUNDAY

SAYING, "I GOTTA MAKE IT TO CHURCH."

THEY'LL COME WEDNESDAY TO WEDNESDAY AND

THEY'LL REFUEL JUST ENOUGH. IT'S LIKE

THIS. I JUST GOT TO MAKE IT TO

WEDNESDAY. IF I CAN MAKE IT TO

WEDNESDAY, THEN I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH

THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY AND GET

TO SUNDAY. AND IF I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH

SUNDAY, IF I CAN JUST GET TO SUNDAY,

THEN EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

WITH MY LIFE. BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU,

THAT KIND OF MINDSET IS LITERALLY

LAPPING UP WATER, BUT MISSING THE CALL

TO SHARE THAT WITH PEOPLE AROUND US.

THIS IS NOT GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE.

NOW, HEAR ME. IF YOU BARELY MADE IT HERE

TODAY, THIS IS NOT CONDEMNATION TO YOU.

SOME WEEKS IT TAKES EVERYTHING JUST TO

SHOW UP TO THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND FOR

YOU, I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS TODAY. THERE IS

REFRESHING FROM THE RIVER OF GOD FOR

YOU. YOU SAID, "I CRAWLED IN." CAN I

TELL YOU, YOU'RE ABOUT TO WALK OUT IN

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING, "I

MADE IT, BUT GOD REFRESHED ME." BUT IT'S

NOT GOD'S WILL FOR US TO BE IN A

REPETITIOUS CYCLE OF THAT TYPE OF

MINDSET.

hear my heart today. You heard God's

voice by coming. And you didn't come to

a dead church, but you came to a church

that's alive.

>> A church that is uh filled with the

spirit of God. Come on.

>> A church that IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE THAT

CAN AGREE WITH YOU AND SAY, "I'VE GOT

WHAT YOU NEED WHERE YOU CAN BE

REFRESHED. IT IS FULL OF THE WATER OF

THE spirit this morning."

>> But then he said something interesting.

There was water. But then he said, "The

water that was there was flowing from

under the threshold of the temple toward

the east."

Flowing from under the threshold of the

temple toward the east. The Hebrew word

for threshold is mitan. And it means

simply this, the border between two

spaces.

It means a place of crossing over. IT

MEANS A SYMBOLIC PLACE of transition.

When you take that midpen word and you

go back to the original, the root word

in Hebrew, it is pa. IT MEANS THIS TO

OPEN, to loosen or to release.

The threshold literally is where

something opens, but more specifically

where God opens something.

Hello, Threshold.

>> How you doing? I want to thank Pastor

Robbie for putting a door right in the

middle of the sanctuary. Come on,

somebody. Didn't he do a great job? It's

so good.

Watch this.

It specifically means a threshold is

where God opens something. SO, WHAT ARE

WE TALKING ABOUT THIS MORNING? that

Ezekiel saw in this vision, this is the

word that stuck out to me for this year,

that underneath that threshold, there be

to flow a river of water that came out

from underneath it. And it WAS A PLACE

THAT REPRESENTS WHERE GOD OPENS

SOMETHING. IT WHERE WHERE GOD MAY OPEN A

NEW SEASON FOR you and YOUR FAMILY,

WHERE GOD MAY OPEN A NEW DIMENSION FOR

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, WHERE GOD MAY OPEN

A NEW ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU. AND I BELIEVE

THIS IS FOR THE HOUSE THAT WHERE GOD

OPENS A NEW LEVEL OF GLORY FOR THE

HOUSE. AND I WANT TO DECLARE THIS. THE

LORD IS OPENING SOMETHING OVER THIS

HOUSE IN 2026. AND I DECLARE OVER EVERY

HOME THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS HOUSE.

SOMETHING FRESH IS GOING TO BE OPENED UP

OVER YOUR LIFE.

>> SO OPEN UP OVER YOUR MIND, OVER YOUR

SPIRIT. BUT I WANT YOU TO GO BACK WITH

ME TO ANCIENT HEBREW CULTURE. THRESHOLDS

WERE COUNTED AS SOMETHING A PLACE OF

COVENANT or places of covenant. Places

where blood was poured IT SYMBOLIZING

THE PASSOVER. YOU KNOW THE STORY BACK IN

EXODUS WHERE IT TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY

TOOK THE BLOOD OF THE PASSOVER lamb and

they put it ON THE LENTIL OF THE DOOR ON

THE TOP AND ON THE SIDES. Can I tell you

that EVEN THAT WAS A THRESHOLD IN THE

MAKING? THEY DIDN'T PUT BLOOD

SPECIFICALLY ON THE THRESHOLD ON THE

BOTTOM BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE

BLOOD TO be of a less effect or to BE OF

LESS VALUE TO THEM OR TO BE TRAMPLED

UNDERFOOT ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.

BUT CAN I TELL YOU THAT EVEN IN THAT

MOMENT WHERE THEY PUT THE BLOOD OVER THE

LENTIL OF THE DOOR, THE THRESHOLD WAS

COVERED IN THE BLOOD. YEAH.

>> AND CAN I TELL YOU THAT EVERY THRESHOLD

THAT WE ARE GOING TO CROSS IN 2026 IS

NOT SOME JUST RANDOM THRESHOLD, BUT IT

IS A SACRED THRESHOLD THAT HAS BEEN

ORDAINED BY GOD AND BEEN ORDAINED BY THE

BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. AND I WANT TO

DECLARE OVER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU'RE

ABOUT TO STEP OVER SOME SACRED

THRESHOLDS IN 2026.

Things that you thought may NOT BE

POSSIBLE. THINGS THAT YOU THOUGHT MAY

NOT EVEN TAKE PLACE. BUT LITERALLY, IF I

IF I WAS TO BREAK THIS DEFINITION DOWN

FOR YOU, I want you TO SEE THIS THAT

SIMPLY PUT, THRESHOLDS mark where

something ends and something else

begins.

It it is IT IS A COMPLETION OF ONE PLACE

AND A STARTING OF A BRAND NEW PLACE.

LITERALLY MEANING THAT WHENEVER I STEP

FROM THIS SIDE AND STEP OVER INTO THIS

SIDE OF THE THRESHOLD, THAT THIS BEHIND

ME L I HONOR IT AND I THANK GOD FOR

WHAT'S OVER HERE. BUT GOD IS STEPPING

ALLOWING ME TO STEP INTO A PLACE WHERE

THERE IS A BRAND NEW CREATION, A BRAND

NEW DIVINE ORDER FOR ME THAT I CAN STEP

INTO AND experience his power on another

level.

>> I want you to hear your pastor's heart

that I believe that we're about to step

into some places that we've never seen

before in this ministry.

>> I believe we're about to see some things

happen in this house that we've only

dreamed about for decades now.

I believe we're about to see some things

take place. And all it's going to take

is a few people that'll get with me and

say, "Pastor, I'm ready TO STEP INTO

WHAT GOD HAS FOR my life and for what

God has for this CHURCH AND FOR WHAT GOD

HAS FOR MY FUTURE." CUZ I BELIEVE beyond

the shadow of a doubt THAT GOD IS ABOUT

TO SET SOME THINGS IN ORDER. Some things

may end, but there's going to be some

beautiful beginnings THAT COME IN THIS

MOMENT TO WHERE GOD IS ABOUT TO SHOW UP

AND SHIFT THINGS IN OUR PERSPECTIVE,

SHIFT THINGS IN OUR FAMILY, SHIFT THINGS

IN OUR FUTURE. SO, WHAT ABOUT 2026? I

DECLARE OVER THIS HOUSE THAT THIS YEAR

WILL BE MARKED BY THE SACRED INVADING

THE COMMON. IF WE'RE GOING TO STEP OVER

SOME SACRED THRESHOLDS, I BELIEVE THE

THINGS THAT WE COUNTED AS COMMON BEFORE,

GOD'S ABOUT TO BRING HIS HOLINESS RIGHT

INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT. GOD'S ABOUT TO

BRING HIS POWER RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF

YOUR FAMILY, RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF

YOUR SITUATION. AND ONLY GOD CAN RECEIVE

THE GLORY from it.

>> That's right.

>> Only God can receive the glory from it.

Because I want you to understand that

the river that's about to hit this house

that's coming underneath that threshold

right there cannot be contained in Jesus

name. Why don't you find about three or

four people around you and just tap them

and testify and say it's not going to be

contained. Come on. I I I just I I need

you to do a little talking with me. I'M

GOING TO GET MY MUSICIANS TO COME ON up

here and help me out for just a few

moments. I ONE MORE TIME I want you to

testify to a few people around you and

say it cannot be contained. I said, "It

cannot be contained." Cuz here's what I

know. Ezekiel had that vision. And when

he began to see that vision, here's what

happened. He had a man that came to him

and said, "I'm going to take you on a

journey." And he had a string in his

hand, a line in his hand, a measuring

device in his hand, and said, "LET'S GO

A THOUSAND CUBITS." HE TOOK HIM A

THOUSAND CUBITS AND THE BIBLE SAYS, took

him through the water. IT WAS UP TO HIS

ANKLES. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. THAT MAY BE

REFRESHING FOR SOME. IF THAT'S ALL YOU

WANT, GOD BLESS YOU. HANG OUT IN THE

FIRST THOUSAND. BUT THEN HE SAID, "LET

me take him another thousand." He took

him the second thousand. AND WHEN HE GOT

THERE, the Bible says it got up to his

knees. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. AND THAT'S

PRETTY WONDERFUL. YOU COULD PROBABLY LAY

DOWN IN THAT AND YOU COULD DO a little

flipping AND FLOPPING. COME ON. YOU

COULD THAT'S A COOL THAT ON A HOT SUMMER

DAY, THAT'D BE A BEAUTIFUL CREEK TO lay

down in. Come on. Can I get a amen from

some country folk in the house? YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? BUT THEN HE

SAID, "LET'S GO ANOTHER THOUSAND." HE

WENT ANOTHER THOUSAND. AND THE BIBLE

SAYS THAT THE WATER GOT UP TO HIS WAIST

AND BEGAN TO TOUCH EVERY PART of his

life. And I want to see I want you to

see this again. You can begin to swim

AND ENJOY THAT. BUT WHAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

IS HE DID NOT STOP THERE IN THE VISION.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE WENT AHEAD and took

HIM THE FOUR ANOTHER THOUSAND. AND THAT

WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 4,000 SICK CUBICS

THAT HE TOOK HIM AWAY FROM THE

THRESHOLD. AND WHEN HE GOT TO THAT

POINT, HE PASSED THROUGH THE WATER. AND

IT WAS A PLACE THAT HE COULD NOT PASS

THROUGH BECAUSE IT WAS TOO WIDE. IT WAS

TOO LARGE AND IT WAS TOO DEEP. AND I'LL

EVEN SAY THIS, IT PROBABLY WAS TOO SWIFT

IN THAT MOMENT. I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER

BACK WHAT PASTOR SAID A FEW MOMENTS AGO

THAT GOD IS DESTINED US TO DO TWO

THINGS. WE'RE GOING TO PUSH BACK

DARKNESS AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE

TERRITORY FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. NOW, I

KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY TRANSLATE

THIS ONE WAY. BUT HERE'S HOW I SAW IT.

WHEN YOU GET OUT A THOUSAND CUBITS AND

IT'S UP TO YOUR ANKLES, PROBABLY NOT IS

A NOT A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING TO

HAPPEN TO THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THAT AREA.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST GOING TO BE A STEEL

STREAM THAT'S RUNNING DOWN. BUT THEN

WHEN YOU GET UP TO YOUR KNEES, THINGS

BEGIN TO SHIFT UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.

THINGS THAT used to be there, maybe some

DEBRIS WOULD GET PUSHED BY THE WEIGHT

AND BY THE POWER OF THAT WATER. BUT THEN

WHEN YOU GET UP TO WAIST DEEP, I WANT

YOU TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU'RE OUT IN THE

OCEAN, THE GULF OF AMERICA. Come on,

somebody. If you out in THE GULF OF

AMERICA AND YOU OUT THERE AND YOU START

TO FEEL THAT RIP TIDE PULL AT YOU, WHEN

IT'S AT YOUR KNEES, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

WHEN IT'S AT YOUR ANKLES, NOT A BIG

DEAL. FINALLY HITS YOUR WAIST, YOU START

TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT OF THAT TUG BECAUSE

THE POWER OF THAT WATER BEGINS TO

DISPLACE THE SAND. CAN I TELL YOU THIS

IS WHERE THE EZEKIEL WAS AT IN THAT

VISION. HE WAS OUT 3,000 CUBITS AND HE

STARTED TO FEEL THE POWER OF THAT WATER

AROUND HIS BODY. AND HE BEGAN TO

UNDERSTAND, WAIT A SECOND, THIS IS NOT

JUST ANY TYPE OF WATER. THIS IS WATER

THAT'S COMING FROM UNDER THE THRESHOLD

OF NOT JUST ANYWHERE, BUT IT'S COMING

UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE TEMPLE. IT'S

NOT JUST ANY KIND OF WATER. IT IS HOLY

WATER. CAN I GET A AMEN IN THE HOUSE? HE

FELT THE POWER OF THAT WATER. THEN HE

SAID, "LET'S GO ANOTHER THOUSAND

CUBITS." AND CAN I TELL YOU THAT WHEN HE

GOT THERE, IT WAS SO MASSIVE AND SO

BROAD AND SO SWIFT AND SO DEEP THAT NO

MAN COULD TAME IT. NO MAN COULD CONTROL

IT. SO WHAT WAS THE LORD TRYING TO SHOW

EZEKIEL? HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW HIM ALL

THE THINGS THAT HINDERED THE SPIRITUAL

DEVELOPMENT AND WELL-BEING OF THE PEOPLE

OF GOD FOR DECADES AND YEARS AND

CENTURIES BY THE POWER THAT'S COMING OUT

FROM UNDERNEATH THAT THRESHOLD. THIS

LITTLE LINE THAT'S COMING OUT THAT BUILT

INTO A MASSIVE RIVER. EVERYTHING THAT'S

BEEN HINDERING YOU IS ABOUT TO BE PUSHED

OUT OF THE WAY BY THE POWER OF THIS

RIVER. COME ON, SOMEBODY. I FEEL THIS IN

MY SPIRIT TODAY. AND I WANT TO PROPHESY

OVER THIS HOUSE THAT GOD HAS CALLED US

TO PUSH BACK DARKNESS AND TO TAKE

TERRITORY. BUT HE'S NOT ASKING YOU TO DO

IT BY YOUR OWN STRENGTH AND BY YOUR OWN

POWER. ALL HE'S ASKING YOU TO DO IS STEP

OVER THE THRESHOLD AND SAY, "GOD, GET ME

IN THE RIVER. GET ME IN THE PLACE THAT

YOU WANT ME TO BE HERE. I NEED A TOUCH

FROM YOUR RIVER." CUZ THEN WE CAN GET TO

A PLACE WHERE EVERYTHING THE ENEMY TRIED

IS PUSHED OUT. EVERY SICKNESS, EVERY

DISEASE, EVERY WRONGDOING, GOD WILL

BRING IT TO PASS IF YOU BELIEVE IT. 1 2

3. GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE IN THE HOUSE.

CUZ I'LL SAY THIS, I DECLARE THIS IN

2026 THAT GOD IS EXPLODING THE CHURCH IN

REACH, INFLUENCE, AND KINGDOM TAKING

GROUND. AND IT CANNOT BE ORCHESTRATED BY

MAN. IT CANNOT BE STARTED UNDER UNDER

ANY MAN'S OBSERVATION BECAUSE IT COMES

FROM THE THRESHOLD ORDERED BY GOD. AND

IT CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

>> So I speak this over your family in 2026

that what you've been asking God to

remove that the enemy put in your life,

if you'll just get in the river, he's

about to push it out.

>> Woo! Come on. How many receive that with

your pastor today? How many receive that

God's about to shift some things and

turn some things and do some things and

he's about to take what was made wrong

by the enemy. is about to make it right

in Jesus name. Every healing you've been

believing for, can I tell you that the

river has your healing?

>> Every financial breakthrough you've been

asking God for, it's in the river. Every

deliverance you've been asking God for,

it's in the river. Every breakthrough

spiritually YOU'VE BEEN ASKING GOD FOR,

IT'S IN THE RIVER. AND I DECLARE TO YOU

TODAY THAT WE'RE STEPPING OVER THE

THRESHOLD RIGHT INTO WHAT God has for

our life.

>> Everybody stand to your feet all over

the house.

I feel this in my spirit. Just play for

me, son.

Feel this in my spirit because I begin

to watch it and I begin to read and see

Ezekiel 47:1

Ezekiel 47:1

Bible says he took me back to the door

of the temple. But then two places in

the word of God, I want you to see this

clearly. Let me grab my Bible so I can

show you. Ezekiel 47 verse number nine.

He said, "And it shall be that every

living thing that moves, wherever the

rivers go will live."

Wherever the rivers go will live. But

then he backs up again and says it

almost the same way but a little

different in the same verse. He said,

"There will be a multitude of fish

because these waters go there for they

will be healed." But then he says, "And

everything will live wherever the river

goes."

>> Amen.

The first part says wherever the rivers

go will live. The second part says

everything will live wherever the river

goes.

Plural singular. Now I graduated from J

but there's a difference.

One means one river. One means

more than one river.

Come on. two or more is with the s on

the end.

>> Amen.

>> I don't know. I I I just I just look at

this and I said, Lord, that's confusing

to me because we are talking about a

threshold. And the Bible specifically

showed Ezekiel that the water came from

underneath the threshold, meaning

singular river, meaning one place,

meaning one source,

>> not multiple sources. CUZ A LOT OF TIMES

WE GET IT CONFUSED AND SAY, "WELL, GOD'S

GOING TO COME FROM THIS DOOR AND THAT

DOOR AND THIS DOOR AND THINGS ARE GOING

TO HAPPEN." NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. THERE IS

ONE SOURCE.

>> WHAT DOES THE SCRIPTURE SAY? THAT YOU

CAN BE SAVED BY NO OTHER NAME BUT WHAT

NAME? The name of

>> Jesus. He said IF ANY MAN COMES TO THE

FATHER, HE'S GOT TO COME THROUGH THE

WHAT?

>> Somebody say the door.

>> THE DOOR. NOT THE DOORS.

HELLO, SOMEBODY.

>> It's not Muhammad.

>> Let me go ahead and say this. Dead

prophets don't save nobody.

>> Your prophet's dead.

>> Am I telling the truth?

>> Come on.

>> There's no power in Islam.

>> Come on.

>> Their prophet died.

>> He dead. But guess what? my savior. HE

MAY HAVE WENT IN THE GRAVE, BUT HE went

down there and took the keys of death,

hell, AND THE GRAVE AND ROSE ON THE

THIRD DAY. HIS NAME IS JESUS.

He is the door. He is THE SOURCE. NO

OTHER NAME WAS GIVEN UNDER HEAVEN WHERE

MEN NOT BE SAVED OTHER THAN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

He is the door. But watch this. It

started with rivers. Wherever the rivers

go will BE HEALED. THEY SAID WHERE

EVERYTHING THAT EVERYTHING WAS HEALED.

WHEREVER THE RIVER GOES WAS THE SECOND

PART. SO WE'RE TALKING IN THIS MOMENT. I

SAID LORD YOU GOT TO HELP ME. HELP ME

UNDERSTAND CUZ I FEEL LIKE I feel the

spirit of God in this moment. If you'll

hang with me for a second I want you to

understand. Watch this revelation. When

I looked at it, the Lord showed me one

is talking about a micro scale and the

other is talking about a macro scale.

The secondary PART OF THAT VERSE IN

VERSE NUMBER NINE WHERE IT SAYS, "AND

EVERYTHING WILL LIVE WHEREVER the river

goes." THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE CHURCH

COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS NOT

SPLIT INTO MANY DIFFERENT RIVERS. I

DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BAPTIST. I DON'T

CARE IF YOU'RE METHODIST. I DON'T CARE

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS HAS DIED.

JESUS DIED AND WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE

CROSS AND RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY. YOU

ARE IN THE SAME RIVER I'M IN.

>> Come on, somebody.

THERE'S NOT PREFERENCE RIVERS OUT THERE.

>> IT'S NOT THE PENTECOSTAL RIVER, THE

BAPTIST RIVER, THE METHODIST RIVER. NO,

IT IS THE RIVER, THE CHURCH. HE'S

TALKING ON A A A MACRO SCALE HERE THAT

EVERYTHING WILL LIVE WHEREVER THE RIVER,

THE CHURCH, WHEREVER THE CHURCH SHOWS

UP, LIFE WILL HAPPEN.

>> But then he said at the very beginning

of that, he said that everything that

live that moves wherever the rivers go

will live. Wherever the rivers go, we'll

live. What are you talking about,

pastor? Simply talking about this,

Marcus.

Let me shake your hand cuz I'm changing

your name from Marcus to Mr. River.

This is one of the rivers.

This is a river. This is a river. This

is a river. You are a river. You are a

river. You are a river. Now watch this.

We're not REPRESENTING OURSEL, BUT WE

ARE REPRESENTING THE RIVER, THE SON OF

GOD, THE SAVIOR. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

PASTOR? THIS IS A REVELATION GOD GAVE

ME. IT WAS A REVELATION OF US COMING IN

across the THRESHOLD AND SEEING ALL THAT

GOD WAS GOING TO DO IN HERE. BUT THEN HE

SAID, THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO STEP BACK

ACROSS THAT THRESHOLD. AND WHEN THEY

STEP ACROSS THAT THRESHOLD, THEY GET IN

THEIR CAR, EITHER PRESS THEIR BUTTON OR

TURN THEIR KEY, AND GO THIS WAY OR THAT

WAY OR THAT WAY. CAN I TELL YOU THE HOLY

SPIRIT SHOWED ME THAT THE SAME RIVER

THAT'S IN HERE IS INSIDE OF YOU. AND

WHEREVER YOU GO, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. HE

SAID, "WHEREVER THE RIVERS GO, THERE

WILL BE LIFE IN THAT MOMENT." CAN I TELL

YOU, YOU ARE THE RIVERS THAT ARE GOING

TO WALK OUT OF THIS ROOM AND BE WHAT

GOD'S CALLED YOU TO BE. IS ANYBODY READY

TO BE THE RIVERS THAT GOD HAS FOR THIS

last day?

BECAUSE IN BEING THE rivers that are

being sent out from this house, when you

step across that threshold out there and

you go, let me tell you something. That

you are going to bring life to everybody

you come in contact with.

>> That means I got to remember who I

represent.

>> That means I got to live right

everywhere I'm at.

>> I don't get to clock out of

Christianity.

Hello.

>> If you feel like I just need a moment to

to get in the flesh, let me tell you

something. You need to submit that flesh

to the Lord, this fast is going to be

good to you.

>> Amen.

>> And I'll say this, you're going to get

out of the fast what you put into it.

>> If you him all around for 21 days and do

nothing and then there's a big explosion

in here and people start getting blessed

say, "What happened? I didn't do

nothing. I don't even know." Listen,

it's up to you.

>> It's up to you.

Get out of what you put into it. Same

thing if you want to go to the gym and

you want to get bulk and you want to get

fit. If you sit in there and you just

watch everybody else, don't expect to

get muscles.

Amen.

That's my problem. I'm a people watcher.

I'm like, "Wow, they do really good at

lifting weights. I'm I hope I get

muscles like that."

Kind of sense does that make? But can I

tell you that over the next several

weeks, the Lord has given me challenging

messages. And I'm going to say they're

going to be challenging.

But I'm going to tell you, it comes from

a heart of love because of what I know

God has in this next season for us.

messages that are going to make us have

to reflect and look at oursel in the

mirror and say, "Am I really lined up

with what God has for me?

Or am I just trying to be preferential

and get it my way?

Am I really going to progress

spiritually or am I going to digress and

miss everything God has for me?"

Because what I don't want us to do is I

don't want us to come in and say, "Well,

we had good church.

That answer is not good enough for me.

Oh man. Man, I'm telling you, man. We

had it today. I I love to shout just as

much as the next person. I love to have

Holy Ghost Pentecostal. Man, we'll get

the musicians going. We'll just have a

time. It's going to be powerful and

great. I love that. And I got nothing

wrong with that.

But I'm tired of shouting and seeing

people do without.

>> Hello.

You can shout through a lot of storms

and you can shout through some pain and

you can praise your way through the

mess. I do understand that and I know

that. I've had to do that and we're

having to do that right now. But what

I'm going to tell you in this house is

I'm going to tell you that it's not just

about the shout. What am I carrying out

the door with me?

>> What am I carrying to this world to

bring hope to them? And today, I hope I

brought hope to you

that God has something great for you in

this year. But you've got to be willing

to step through the threshold.

>> Step through.

For I say to you that my promises over

your life are yes and amen. What I have

prepared for you, eyes can have not seen

and ears have not heard. Today I say to

you, follow my lead. Step where I stay

where I say step because the steps of a

righteous man are ordered by me. Today

submit to me. Be watchful. Surrender

every part of your life to me and watch

me move on your behalf and I will use

you in a great way to bring the gospel

to the world, says the King of Kings and

the Lord of Lords. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Can we give him praise and

glory in the house? Can we give him

honor in the house?

I want to say this. As you step across

the threshold today, know this. You are

becoming a river of life.

Life is going to get on you and it's

going to flow from you. And I'm gonna

say this. By the end of the year, some

of you right now may be ankle deep and

say, "I love it. It's beautiful." Some

of you may be knee deep today. Some of

you may be waist deep. Some of you may

be swimming in the greatest revival

you've ever experienced for your life.

But I'm going to say this. By the end of

the year, everybody in this house is

going to be right in the middle of the

greatest revival that we've ever seen.

You going to be swimming at 4,000 cubics

in Jesus name. Come on. So, here's I'm

going to tell I'm going to tell you

this. It's going to sound weird. Get

ready to swim in Jesus name. Come on.

Anybody ready to swim in 2026? Come on.

I believe God's going to do something

great for you.

Every head bowed, every eye closed.

I didn't mean to preach that long, but I

just I felt like I needed to get out

what I needed to get out. But today, I

believe God's promises are good. His

credit is good. His credit is good in

this house. that if he says he's going

to do it, I'm going to trust him. If he

says he's going to bring it to pass, I'm

going to trust him. But all over this

house today, I I I'm going to lend just

two altar calls. Number one, if you

don't know Jesus as your savior and you

say, "I need to I need to find this

door. I need to I need to step over that

threshold into salvation." That's a

beautiful thresh that's the best sacred

threshold you can step into this year is

into salvation. And today the invitation

is for you that if you don't know Christ

as your savior and you've been playing

games with God, maybe you've been you've

been toying around with this thing,

you've been hanging on the fringes, let

me tell you, let me invite you across

the threshold. Salvation is waiting on

you and it's the best decision you will

ever make in your entire life. If you're

in this house, you say, "Pastor, I need

to make that commitment today." Then I

want you just to slip your hand up and

say, "Pray for me, pastor." When you

pray, hallelujah. Amen. Amen. I see a

hand. Amen. God is good. God is good.

Amen. We'll wait. We'll wait. Anybody

else? Today, I I've been playing with

God. I've been playing, messing around.

I had done things the right way. Maybe

I'm far away. I' I've walked away. And

today, I want to come back. I want to

step back through that door. The door is

open. The door is open. It's not closed.

No man can shut this door according to

Revelation. Not one person can shut it.

God opened it and ain't nobody can shut

it today. He's welcoming you in.
