The King is Knocking | Pastor Jesse Jernigan | 1.18.26 (Sermon)

How many ready for the word today?

Anybody ready for the word? I'm going to

ask you to grab your Bibles, jump to

your feet, go with me to the book of

Psalms, chapter 24. Psalm 24. And we're

Psalms 24 · chapter mention

going to read through there, verses

1-10. And uh that's where we're going to

take our thought for the day. And uh I I

just believe the Lord has got a word for

somebody in the house today. He's going

to show up. He's going to do something

incredible. And you know what? He had

you on his mind when he was thinking up

the plan for today. That's so cool.

That's so crazy that he was thinking

about us. Psalm chap 24:es

1-10. If you got it, say, "I got it."

>> The earth is the Lord's and all its

fullness, the world and those who dwell

therein. For he has founded it upon the

seas, and established it upon the

waters. Who may ascend into the hill of

the Lord? Or who may stand in his holy

place? He who has clean hands and a pure

heart, who's not lifted up his soul to

an idol, nor sworn deceitfully, he shall

receive blessing from the Lord and

righteousness from the God of his

salvation. This is Jacob, the generation

of those who seek him, who seek your

face, Sila. He says in verse number

seven, lift up your heads, oh ye gates,

and be lifted up, you everlasting doors,

and the king of glory shall come in. Who

is this king of glory? They echoed. He

said, "The Lord strong and mighty, the

Lord mighty in battle." And then again

he said, "Lift up your heads, oh ye

gates. Lift up you everlasting doors,

and the King of glory shall come in

again." He said, "Who is this king of

glory?" The Lord of hosts, he is the

king of glory. Celi, come on. How many

you thankful that we serve the King of

glory in the house? Woo. Come on. I I

just I just declare this over our hearts

and over our lives today as we are

entering into this uh this year. It's

the it's a year of sacred thresholds and

how God is shifting things and touching

our hearts and ministering to us in a

powerful way. I could not go any further

with this and I planned on preaching

this last week, but the Lord just had

other plans and he said it's going to

wait till this week and that's perfectly

fine. But I believe that he's got a

specific word for you and I and for this

church and for your house today. And

that is simply this. That the king is

knocking. Look at your neighbor. Say,

"The king is knocking."

>> Oh, come on. You got help me announce

that title a little more. Little more

Pentecostal style. Look up. Say, "The

king is knocking."

>> Oh, yeah. My that sounded really good.

But now the the neighbor on the other

side's really jealous. They didn't get

all that. look out of the other side and

say, "The King is knocking."

>> Hallelujah. I believe God's got a word

for us. Are you ready for it today?

Let's pray. Father, we thank you. We

praise you. Help us in the mighty name

of Jesus Christ, we pray. And everybody

says, "Amen." And amen. You may be

seated in the presence of the Lord

today.

I know that beyond the shadow of a doubt

that the the the the typical response

would be if you're sitting at your house

and somebody knocks on the door. Maybe

if let's go let's go back 50 years. If

somebody knocked on your door, you got

excited. Today, if somebody knocks on

your door, you run to the back room and

hide. Can I get a witness?

>> Come on. At least I'm not the only one

by the giggles in the room. I I just

just being honest. You know, you never

know who it could be. It could be the

popo. Come on, somebody. But it could be

that person that you know you supposed

to talk to, but maybe they just Anyways,

so you just you run in the back door,

but most of the time it's an exciting

time because you know somebody's on

their way and you are expecting them to

show up. And so when it's an expectancy

in your heart and you finally hear that

knock, maybe it's your best friend,

maybe it's your mother or father, maybe

it's your grandparents, maybe it's a a

sibling, or maybe it's just somebody

that's an acquaintance and you've been

waiting on them, but you're sitting

there with anticipation and you hear

that knock at the door. Can I tell you

that really, really, really gets you

excited. Come on.

>> And we think about that from a natural

perspective and that is good and it does

get us excited. But can I tell you that

in the spirit we should have the same

expectancy.

>> Oh, come on. Look at your neighbor. Say,

"You got to get ready." Come on. You You

got to get ready. It's one thing to to

just fly through life and maybe even

zigzag your way through the things and

the calculations and the hard times and

the good times of life and have no

expectancy. But can I tell you, if you

live your life with expectancy,

believing that at any moment, the King

of glory could knock on the door of your

heart and he can knock on the door of

the heavenlies, then that ought to get

you a little bit excited. At the

beginning of this message, and I'm going

to tell you something, I'm going to

reflect it again at the end. I'm going

to tell you, the King of glory is on his

way. And I have an expectant heart, not

just for the rapture, but I believe he's

about to knock on the door of the heart

of the church again with the revival

that if we'll just open wide and say,

"Lord, come on in." That we're about to

see things that we never thought were

possible. I declare we're about to see

those that were bound by drugs and

alcohol, come in and when the king

knocks on the door, they're about to

walk out delivered. I believe there's

going to be families that are falling

apart. I'm just supposed to be teaching

and talking right now, but I want to

know, is there anybody that's got a

little expectancy with your pastor at

the beginning of this message that 2026

is about to rewrite some stories in the

hearts of people? He's about to knock.

And the the question is, are we really

listening for him?

>> Are we really listening for him?

>> So, I think back over my life and I

think back to moments that had he

knocked, I was not ready.

But I also look now at my heart and I

say, "Thank God that you have prepared

me for the knock of the king."

>> And so when I read this scripture, many

people look at this scripture that we're

in today and they don't take it in

totality, but they skip over certain

things. But I want you to see where it's

at today when we look at this beautiful

scripture. And I if I can, let me review

from the first Sunday of the year to get

everybody caught up that may not have

been here. We're in the year of sacred

thresholds. And this is what the we

ended that service with something unique

and a declaration that that I had

probably never done before. But I

declared over the house that there is a

great river and that's the river of the

Holy Spirit. But each one of us will

leave this house as a stream that is

connected to that river bringing life to

everybody we come in contact with.

Everywhere we flow from this sacred

threshold called Milligan Assembly,

there will be life. That following

Wednesday night, we spoke to we spoke

out or the Holy Spirit spoke to us out

of Ezekiel 47 talking about the fruit

will be for food and their leaves for

medicine. And we begin to talk about the

power and sustaining power of God and

the healing power of God. And we

declared in that moment, that night,

that when the river of God touches your

life, he doesn't just fix what's broken,

he makes you a source of healing for

others around you. Yes.

>> And I want to tell you that echo is

still true today because he is not just

any kind of God. He is Jehovah

>> Rafa.

>> Come on. I I've I've experienced it in

my life. There was a time and let me

just go ahead and do a quick testimony

if that's all right with you. If it's

not, then get that's all right. Just

buckle up. I'm going to do it anyways.

But I got to give a quick testimony of

Jehovah Rafa in my life. Back about

several a few years ago, maybe four or

five years ago. I don't even know how

long ago it was, but I got a bad report

from the doctor. It was one of them CT

calcium scores. Come on, somebody. I

rebuke those in Jesus name. But the

numbers showed a high level inside of my

heart and in my arteries that were

danger level. But I'm going to tell you

that next Sunday I stood on this

platform. I declare the healing power of

God through song. And God be to do

something in my heart. And can I tell

you from that point on I've not had any

issues. And I stand here as a testimony

of the goodness and the grace of God

that Jehovah Rafa is real. Jeho come on.

He is my heal. What does that mean,

pastor? You speaking Hebrew? Yes, I am.

Jehovah Rafa is the king. That he is the

God who heals our bodies, who heals our

minds, who heals our spirit. Is there

anybody in the house that would say, I

got a testimony that the Jehovah Rafa of

that age has sent down his hand and

touched my life and touched my family

and I got to give him a little bit of

praise.

Rafa literally means to heal, repair, or

make whole. Jehovah Rafa, our healer, is

something that we must cling to and hold

on to in our dear, precious hearts

today. But I want to say this as we

begin this year. This year will be

marked by the sacred invading the

common. What most people look at and see

as a common thing. Can I tell you the

God of all glory is not calling the

church to sit on the sidelines and say,

"Well, if anything changes outside of

this room, then great, grand, and

wonderful." But I declare over you that

God did not anoint you to be in this

sacred threshold season for you to exist

without any power. He anointed you to

take this power everywhere you go and be

a stream of healing, be a stream of

strength for those that are around you.

And I declare God is going to invade the

common through the sacredness on your

life.

>> And I want you to see this. If you've

had eyes to hear and ears to hear or

eyes to see and ears to hear, then

you're picking up on the pattern for

what God is establishing for this year

of sacred thresholds. God is getting us

ready to not just exist as a church, but

to be the hands and be his hands at his

feet in this earth. And let me set the

tone for today's message and let you

know that there there is something that

is going around now and it's called

passive Christianity that they just

exist. But I want to go ahead and let

you know inside of this house, passive

Christianity is dead.

>> Come on, somebody. That's why through

this season of wonders, I'm training you

to pray, to fast, to give, but also to

read your word. Because we can do all

those other things, but if we don't get

the power of the word of God inside of

us, then we've got no ammo to go out

there and rebuke the enemy and stand in

the gap and believe for healing. But I'm

going to tell you, passive Christianity

is dead, and we need our passion back in

the church. So I declare it like this.

We're going to push back darkness in

2026 and we're going to take territory

for the kingdom of God. Is there anybody

ready to take a little territory for the

kingdom of God? This is your chance to

shout if you're ready to take a

territory. I dare you. 1 2 3 give God a

little praise in the house for the fact

that we're taking territory. Our

families will not be bound. Come on. Our

friends will not be bound. Our business

will not be bound. My body will not be

broken. Come on. This area will not be

lost. There will not be a cloud of

darkness over this region. It will be

power and grace and might through the

power of the Holy Spirit.

>> Understand? We're going to push back

darkness and we're going to take

territory for the kingdom of God. But

then we come back around and we zero

back in on our key scripture for today

in Psalm chapter 24 where we began to

Psalms 24 · chapter mention

read earlier verses 1-10. But I want you

to see a couple verses that are

significant to this part of the message

and it's verses 1 and two. The earth is

the Lord's and all its fullness. When I

memorized that, it was the earth is the

Lord's and the fullness thereof. Come

on. I I memorize old King James version,

but it says, "The world and those that

dwelt therein, for he has founded it

upon the seas and established it upon

the water." What David was doing in this

scripture is he was bringing clarity to

the hearts of every listener that would

take this psalm to heart. But I want you

to understand, it wasn't just a moment

thing, but it was a posterity thing. He

was not only bringing clarity to the

hearts of the listeners then that would

hear this song and hear this song played

and sung and with excellence and power,

but he was declaring to those that are

in this room today, especially in 2026,

that the Lord is sovereign and he is in

complete control. I want you to see

this. God has not lost control of this

planet.

>> Come on. I know we could read, we could

watch the news, read the newspaper, see

reports, and if you go on Instagram or

Facebook and you look at it for any

length of time, you will be more

confused than a termite and a yo-yo

coming out on the other side of that.

And that's just what the enemy wants you

to be. He doesn't want you to have a

solid faith in who Christ is. But what

can I tell can I tell you today? I want

to fix some theology. What you see on

Instagram, what you see on Tik Tok, what

you see on Facebook, what you see on

Fox, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNBC, come on.

What you see on all those things, that

is not the report that I choose to

believe. There is one report that I

choose to believe in 2026, and it is

this word right here, that the earth is

the Lord's and the fullness thereof,

those that dwell inside of it. And I

declare this, he founded it. He

established it and no man can take it in

Jesus name. Oh come on. I declare this

with all my heart. All the harvest, all

the wealth, all the life, all the

worship, our God is a possessor of every

bit of that. The sad thing is this

morning that in some circles there is a

sense that the world belongs to Satan.

In 2 Corinthians, this is where they get

it from. 2 Corinthians 4 and verse

number four called Satan. I'm going to

say this, little G. Somebody say little

G.

>> Little G, God of this world. But then in

Ephesians 2:2, it describes him as the

Ephesians 2:2

prince of the power of the air as well.

The the sad thing is that in some

circles, people take that and say the

world belongs to Satan. And this

unfortunately has brought worry and

concern to some believers in the church

today. But can I help and can I help and

just adjust a little bit of theological

standpoint right here? Because the last

time I checked, a king outranks a prince

anytime.

>> Come on, somebody. It may say he's a

prince of the power of the air. But I

serve a king who will outrank the enemy

every single time. Don't you let your

mind get in a sad state because

everything seems chaotic around you. You

lift up your heads and say, "I don't

serve a prince. I don't serve a peasant.

I serve a king. He is the king of kings

and the lord of lords." Is there anybody

thankful? You don't serve a dead God,

but you serve a risen savior who's able

to look high, sit high, and look low,

and declare the goodness of God over

every one of our lives.

>> I serve a king.

>> And not just any king, but the king of

kings.

>> He is the lord of everything. Can I get

an amen in the house?

>> A king outranks a prince every time. How

do I know that? That's we we talking

back in Old Testament. Let's go fast

forward to New Testament. Philippians

Philippians 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2, if you'll follow along with

me, verse number nine. Therefore, God

also has highly exalted him and given

him the name which is above every name,

that at the name of Jesus, every knee

should bow of those in heaven, of those

on earth, and those that are under the

earth. And that every tongue should

confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the

glory of God the Father. I'm going to

say this, Jesus. That name outranks

every other name. Jesus outranks cancer.

Jesus outranks divorce. Jesus outranks

heart disease. Jesus outranks diabetes.

Jesus outranks abuse. Jesus outranks

neglect. Come on. Can I get a witness in

the house? He outranks rejection. He

outranks your brokenness. He outranks

what people said about you last week.

And in the name of Jesus, I choose to

believe the report of the Lord. Is there

anybody that'll praise God for the fact

that his name is great?

Come on. I need some help in the house

today to declare it. I dare you to

praise him because his name is greater

than the enemy. His name is greater than

the devil. His name is greater than

Satan. His name is greater than cancer.

Let's praise the name that'll deliver

everybody out of it all.

High five your neighbor. Say, "His name

is greater. His name is greater." And I

declare this that the enemy would like

to convince you that his name is greater

and that cancer is greater. But you look

at him and say greater is he

>> that is in me. That he that is I feel

like preaching right now in this house.

I want to build some faith in some

people today. You got a report last week

that the enemy said that things are

about to look a lot different in your

life. But I tell you in the name of

Jesus that's just a report from a

worldly authority. But when you go back

to what the word says, he says, "By his

stripes, I am healed." And I declare

over this house that healing is coming

to every single life.

>> I refuse to believe that the enemy is

greater than my God.

>> Now, if you choose to give the enemy

more power, that's between you and him.

But I choose to give God the power.

>> Come on. And all that takes is me

recognizing how great his name is, how

powerful his name is, how he can move,

and how he can touch. Psalm 24:es 3-6

ask the question, who may ascend into

the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand

in his holy place? He who has clean

hands and a pure heart, who's not lifted

up his soul to an idol, he says, nor

sworn deceitfully, he shall receive

blessing from the Lord and righteousness

from the God of his salvation. This is

Jacob, the generation of those who seek

him, who seek his face, Ceil. And I want

to start this portion of this part of

the scripture out by bringing clarity

and bringing this home to each one of us

today and let you know something the

Holy Spirit put on my heart. I spoke

about it Wednesday night and I want to

declare it again in this house. God does

not cohabitate with compromise.

>> Come on. There's not been a lot of

holiness preaching going on the church

because we don't want to make people

feel uncomfortable. But the Holy Spirit

has given me a green light this year.

Not just to preach things that will lift

our faith, but preach things that will

confront our flesh.

>> Come on. Because I'm here not to just

make you feel good, baby. I'm here to

get you ready so when the trumpet of God

blast, then we're all going to get out

of here together. I don't want to stand

before God and have to answer to idle

words that did not mean anything from

across this pullpit. But if I can

declare to you, God will not habitate or

cohabitate with compromise. I want you

to see this in this verse. Clean hands

means we have to have pure actions.

Clean heart means we have to have pure

intentions from God and from our heart.

Trust, watch this, can't be placed in

idols and God's love at the same time.

>> Trust can't be on both sides. Words and

actions must be in sync with each other

for us to be able to really truly say

that we don't live a life of compromise.

If we don't allow our words to sync up

with our actions and we don't have clean

hands and a pure heart and we don't have

a clean heart, watch this, we will be in

a place where we are only deceiving

ourselves.

The enemy would like for us to get to

that place where we deceive ourselves

and we allow the enemy to convince us

it's okay for us to have a little bit of

the world and a little bit of holiness.

>> Come on, somebody. I know this ain't the

shouting part of the message. That's why

I gave y'all a chance earlier. I'm

getting into the like, hey, we're

getting to the nitty and gritty. We're

fixing to face some flesh. Can I tell

you if you've got some things in your

past that have not gotten under the

blood, today's a great day to get it

under the blood in Jesus name. Come on.

I'm not here to I'm not here to confront

you and leave you with no hope. I know

you may have been bound before and I

know it may have been a rocky road and

you did everything you could to get in

the house today. But I'm gonna tell you,

I'm not here to tell you there's no

hope. I'm here to introduce you to one

who will give you extreme hope that

everything I had in my past, it can be

wiped away in a moment, in an instant.

Is there anybody that say, "I'm thankful

he wiped away my sins by the power of

his word and the power of his blood.

But the fact is

the spirit of God is giving us a a

command today. Don't mix secular and

sacred.

>> Don't mix secular and sacred because the

moment that we mix the two together, we

blur the lines and we have no answer for

the world.

>> We have no answer for the world. Well,

pastor, I like to do a little bit of

sinning over here and then I'll come to

church and shout it out.

>> I understand the enemy has convinced you

that it's okay, but I've come to

confront that through love today to tell

you that you really haven't tasted of

true freedom just yet.

>> Come on.

>> God kept you around in these moments so

that you can have grace.

>> So you have grace to get it under the

blood. But if there's hidden sin, if

there's things that you're still holding

on to back here, you cannot embrace the

fullness of God for your life and your

family and your future if we're holding

on to things of compromise today in the

name of Jesus. Let it go and quit mixing

secular and sacred and let's taste true

freedom today. For the word of God says,

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is

good." I'll go a step further than that.

He tastes a lot better than alcohol. He

tastes a lot better. Come on, somebody.

He tastes a lot better than nicotine. He

tastes a lot better than that drug that

the enemy tried to convince you of last

week. You don't have to go that route.

You can find freedom today through the

power of God.

>> Hallelujah.

>> Shout the king is knocking.

>> We need holiness in the church again.

>> Not woke and weak preaching.

Amen.

>> Woke and weak preaching will say you can

live any way you want to live.

>> Do anything you want to do and you can

still go to heaven.

>> The devil is a liar.

>> Now, let me go ahead and caveat this. I

ain't no legalistic preacher.

>> I'm not here to micromanage your life.

But what I am here to do is introduce

you to truth and the truth that can set

you free.

>> The truth will set you free if you let

it. The truth will set us free. But

there is there is there is doctrines

that are going around that says, well,

you can come and you can shake a

preacher's hand and you can pray a

prayer to altar and you can walk out of

that room and live any way you want to

and you can blow hell wide open and God

will still bring you into the fold

whenever the rapture takes place. Let me

tell you something. You make a choice,

baby, every single day whether you're

going to follow Christ or not. And how

you follow Christ is you take up your

cross every single day. You crucify your

flesh every single day. That means you

don't get to do what you want to do

because I'm don't belong to myself

anymore. This is the gospel I read. It's

not a woke gospel. I know I wish I could

patty cake you, pat you on the back, but

God won't let me today. I got to tell

you, it's not a woke gospel. It's not a

weak gospel. It's going to take some

tenacity. It's going to take some real

head down pushing through the things

that the enemy would come against you.

But here's the promise on that. When you

make up your mind, I'm going to give it

everything I got. I promise you, you

will not do it by yourself. The God of

all glory, the King of Kings will stand

by you, will dwell in you through the

power of the Holy Spirit. And what I had

to push through last year, God will

break me through this year if my mind is

made up. Is there anybody ready for

breakthrough in 2026? 1 2 3. Give him

some praise in the house.

Hallelujah.

We need a spirit of breakthrough again

that puts us in a spot where we say,

"Pastor, we don't want a woke gospel or

a weak gospel. Preach me the truth of

the word."

>> Now, I will preach it in love and let

you know I don't hate anybody other than

the devil.

>> Because I see what he does to people.

>> Come on. I I see how he tries to ruin

people's lives.

>> And as a pastor, that's tough. And the

weight of it is very weighty, much more

than I I may budget for in my life. But

here's what I'm going to tell you in

this house. That if we'll walk this

thing out together and realize that God

can set us free and God can bring us to

a place of restoration and strength and

power that there is nothing the enemy

can throw in our way that will convince

us to walk away.

>> The enemy cannot convince you when

you've seen the prize.

>> What is the prize? Jesus.

>> Jesus. Had somebody talk about leading

worship and and and all the we they had

questions for me and they were asking

me, you know, what what's the end of a

good worship service look like and all

these different things and and they were

asking me questions and I said,

"Listen." I said, "You're looking at the

wrong thing. If you're asking for the

crowd to respond, if you're asking for

this to happen, if you're asking for

jamming music and for the drummer and

the bass player to get in the pocket,

some of y'all that are here musicians

understand, if it's all about the sound,

then you are missing it. The reward of

worship is God's presence.

>> Come on, somebody. That is how I train

Pastor Michael. That's how I train this

team. Listen, we're not in here to

impress anybody other than the Holy

Spirit and say, "We've created a place

for you to come and habit, build

habitation in this moment." The reward

of every single time we come together is

God's presence shows up in the room.

>> His presence shows up.

>> Don't mix secular and sacred. Psalm 24

verse number 5 say like this. He shall

receive blessing from the Lord and

righteousness from the God of his

salvation. When you and I pursue

holiness and righteousness, we will

receive blessing.

>> Come on, make y'all nervous. How you

shift from preaching about holiness now

you talking about blessing?

>> When you touch his heart, you can't help

but get his hands too.

Come on, somebody.

>> Somebody say, "Oh, I I don't know about

all this blessing stuff." Well, I ain't

talking about name and claim it, blab

it, grab it.

>> Come on.

>> If that worked, I'd be walking down the

road right now say $15 million yacht

yacht yacht yacht. Come on, somebody.

Cuz I'd get that baby. I'd sell it and

I'd put the money back in the church.

Can I get a witness?

If it worked like that, I'd be walking

around saying, "Million, million,

million dollars." Come on.

Let me change that to a B. Billion

billion billion dollars. Come on. If

it's going to work, we're going to go

big.

>> Go big or go home.

>> But that's not the blessing I'm talking

about. People get people get locked in

that lane and they miss the fact that

yes, God is a blesser and he can bless

our life, but if we're only seeking him

for his hands, we miss his heart

altogether.

>> There has to be a a rhythm of balance in

our seeking after God. Those are

benefits of touching the heart of God.

But that's not what I'm seeking after. I

know God will bless me. I know he'll

bless my family. But that's not what I

want, God. I want to feel your heart. I

want to be in tune with you. I want to

hear your voice cuz that's worth to me

more than any amount of blessing will

ever be. If you've ever been in a place

before where you've not heard the voice

of God for any length of time and you

hear his voice again, no money will be

able to pay for that.

>> No amount of money will be able to pay

for that.

What is that blessing?

>> It's the reward. Look at your neighbor.

Say, "Reward."

>> Reward.

>> Oh, you'll receive the blessing. What is

that reward? We will receive the reward

of his presence. We'll receive the

reward of his presence. But then, can I

take it a step further than that? The

presence is for me, but watch this.

We'll also receive the reward of his

anointing.

>> The presence is for me, but the

anointing is for them.

>> Come on, somebody. Come on. We've got it

reversed. Sometimes in the church world,

the church circle, the anointing is for

me and the presence is for you. Oh,

absolutely not. I need his presence more

than everybody else in the room. That's

just the way I feel. It may not be true,

but I stand there and say, "You're

looking this morning at a shepherd that

desires to be in the presence of God

myself. I'm not stepping in this pullpit

unless I've been with Jesus in that

office." Come on. I'm not stepping in

this pullpit unless I've been with him

in this altar because my desire is to be

in his presence. But the anointing on my

life is for you.

>> It's for you.

>> I'm gonna say it like this. It's going

to shock some of you. So hold on. If you

need to put a seat belt on, this is a

good place to put a seat belt on.

We need more AI.

>> Y'all freaking out right now. We need

more AI.

>> What are you talking about, pastor?

talking about. Let me give you a little

insight. We need more AI in our lives.

We need more AI in our family. We need

more AI in our churches. We need more AI

in all these areas of our life. And

everybody's looking at me the same way I

thought you'd look at me when I started

saying on this. Some of y'all debating

right now whether to pick up your purse

and walk out. Give me like 30 more

seconds and I'll fix the theology that

may be messed up in your brain right

now. Like everybody else is in the room.

We need more AI. What you talking about,

pastor? I'm not talking about artificial

intelligence.

>> What kind of AI do we need? Come on. We

need anointed inspiration to come back

to the church again. Come on. Do I have

any Pentecostal folk in the house

that'll stay with your pastor? I I just

need I need a little bit of help right

here. Can I get a little bit of help in

the house? It's not about artificial

intelligence. That will not set anybody

free. But what we need is some people of

God again that will get anointed

inspiration on their life and say, "God,

I got to get in your presence so I can

be anointed to bring freedom to somebody

else." Is there anybody that would say,

"I'm tasting of the freedom of God and

I've got to let somebody else taste it,

too." 1 2 3. Give God a little praise

for anointed inspiration.

I got about half the churches excited

for it, Pastor Michael. But I'm telling

you, we're about to walk into a season

of anointed inspiration that when you're

on your job, it's not going to say,

"Come back to the church and get to the

altar." You going to grab them right

there by the face and say, "In the name

of Jesus, be healed from cancer. Be

healed from diabetes." And that

anointing is going to flow to them. Oh

my God. I'm looking for a church that'll

say, "I hear the king knocking at the

door. I hear the king knocking at the

door, and I'm about to open up and let

him in." 1 2 3. Give God some praise for

anointed inspiration.

Isaiah 10:27 says it like this. And it

Isaiah 10:27

shall come to pass that in that day that

the burden will be taken away from your

shoulders. And he says it like this. And

his yoke from your neck and the yoke

will be destroyed because of the

anointing oil. I declare in this house

we need the anointing. We need the power

of God. We need the gift of the Holy

Spirit like we've never seen before.

>> Look at your neighbor. Say, "We need the

anointing."

>> We need the anointing above anything

else. I need the anointing on my life.

>> I cannot operate without the anointing.

I cannot exist without the anointing. I

cannot be in touch with God's heart

without the anointing. I cannot deliver

miracles, signs, and wonders outside of

this room without the anointing.

It takes the anointing on our life. But

that starts with not mixing secular and

sacred.

>> People say, "Well, if I just get in a

service, I just I'll chase service after

service. I get in that experience, then

you know what? I'm going to walk out

there anointed." No, you ain't.

>> Hello.

It may kickstart you to seek after God's

presence and walk in the anointing, but

it ain't going to be your anointing.

>> Anointing comes from relationship.

>> Anointing comes from being intimate with

the Holy Spirit.

>> Come on.

>> That's where anointing comes from. If it

was all about the hype and all that

stuff, then we'd figure out a way to

replicate that every single week and

dispatch a bunch of anointed people. But

I'm going to tell you, you can get in

this room and feel the inspiration of

the Holy Spirit, and it will inspire you

to go out there and seek after God. Then

you will walk in the anointing because

you're in relationship with him. And

then miracles, signs, and wonders will

follow you because you believe.

>> That's the pattern. That's where we're

at. But we need anointed inspiration

again. We need the anointing. Look at

your neighbor on the other side. Say,

"We need the anointing."

This is a generation

of Jacob.

>> This is Jacob, the generation of those

who seek him, who seek your face. This

verse is an introduction and a calling.

It's an introduction and a calling. And

I want you to see this. He was uh he was

first identifying God's covenant people

by identifying Jacob who carried the

covenant of God. And a covenant people

that were marked by one singular thing.

They sought after the Lord. They sought

after the Lord. They will pursue him

with a continual seeking. It's time that

we get some seekers back in the house

again.

>> People that say, "I've come with one

reason and one reason only. Not to be

identified. Not to have my name

mentioned. Not for any other reason, but

to say, Lord, I need your presence.

>> I need your presence."

>> It was a calling or it was an

introduction to a covenant people. But

it was also a call. a call to pursue him

and a call to seek him. But watch this,

not his hands, but to seek his face.

>> To seek his face. And I'm going to say

this, God is calling us to be a

generation of seekers.

>> To be a generation of seekers. And let's

go ahead and lay some groundwork as I'm

almost finished. And I'll get my

musicians to come and help me. And you

probably stay there because it's fixing

hopefully it'll get a little bit crazy

here in a minute. But I'm going to say

this. I want to lift this heaviness

right now. God is calling us to be a

generation of seekers, not to be a

generation that sits on the sideline and

says, "Somebody else will do it."

>> Amen.

>> God is calling you out of the He's

calling you off the bench. Come on.

>> He calling you off the bench. And you

ain't got to worry about being the last

one picked in dodgeball either. Come on,

somebody.

>> Amen.

God's got a purpose for you

specifically. He wants to use you right

where you are to touch the harvest.

>> Because if we really thought about, if

we really think about it, every one of

us come in contact with broken people

every day.

>> I mean, it's honest. No matter what you

do, no matter where you go, unless you

like are a hermit and you stay in a cave

all day long,

well, that you're probably touching

yourself. That's Hey, I'm broken, so I

need God to minister to me. Come on,

somebody. But let me tell you, if you

get out in this world, there are broken

people everywhere you are.

>> There are broken people at the bank.

There are broken people in the

drive-thru. There are broken people that

fix your latte every day. Can I get an

amen?

>> There are broken people around us. But

God is not calling us to sit on the

sidelines and say, "Well, somebody else

will touch them. Somebody else's

anointing will minister to them." God is

anointing you today to go out tomorrow

to make a difference.

>> And the question is, are we going to do

it? Look at your neighbor. Say, "I am.

How about you?"

>> Come on, tell them. Holler at him real

loud. Say, "I am." How about you?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Psalm 24:7-10

Psalms 24:7–10

was such a beautiful picture of what's

going on. Can we read that real quick? I

think we can pull that up on the screen.

Lift up your heads, oh ye gates, and be

lifted up, you everlasting doors, and

the King of glory shall come in. Who is

this King of glory? The Lord strong and

mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He

said this, "Lift up your heads, oh ye

gates. Lift him up, you everlasting

doors, and the king of glory shall come

in. Who is this king of glory? And they

echo back, "The Lord of hosts, he is the

King of glory."

>> Now, watch this. Some theologians

indicated that this was a a moment of

recanting a famous story where King

David went and got the ark of the

covenant and brought it back to

Jerusalem. This was the moment that they

recorded where he was coming back in

with the ark of the covenant and making

that introduction, letting people know

who had been without it for some seven

decades. Come on. They had been without

the presence of God in the tabernacle

for seven decades. And here comes David.

I know he dropped it off at Oed Edom's

house and all those different things and

and put it there at naked threshing

floor and there was some issues that

went on and all these they trying to get

it back but finally they got it back. So

some theologians say this is a beautiful

picture that David was recanting that

but I believe that is maybe true but I

also believe that it holds relevance for

today in 2026 for us. He may have

dropped it. He may have done all these

things but now he is bringing it home

the right way. And I want you to

understand this is how I saw this

scripture. It's almost like the door is

here and then the people of God are down

here bringing the ark of the covenant

back to the ch to the children of God

and the city of Jerusalem. And then the

Bible said, can we pull that scripture

back up there in verse number seven, if

you don't mind? The Bible says it like

this, that those that were standing out

here are standing out here. They were

saying, "Lift up your heads, oh ye

gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting

doors, and the king of glory shall come

in." So they're standing here with the

ark on their shoulders, looking up at

the door of the city. And they're

hollering, "Lift up your heads, oh ye

gates and lift up you everlasting doors,

and the King of glory shall come in."

And then on the other side, you have

these warriors that are destined and

called to protect the house that look

back down over the cascade of that

distance and they look at them and say,

"Who is this king of glory?" And then,

if you don't mind, I'll run back down.

I'm going to get my exercise today. They

run back down here on this side and they

begin to recap back. The Lord strong and

mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. And

he said this in the next verse, if you

can put that over there, that next

slide. That next slide. Come on. It said

this. It says, "Lift up your head, oh ye

gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting

doors, and the King of glory shall come

in." And he goes back up again on the

other side cuz they still we want to

make sure that this is exactly who David

said he was going to get. He said, "Who

is this King of glory?" And then they

run back down again on the other side

and they say, "Well, we described it

pretty good last time, but let's just

cut to the chase. The Lord of Hosts, he

is the King of Glory that's coming in

the house." And I want to say this, some

of you been wondering who's about to

show up in my home. I'm going to tell

you the Lord strong and mighty. The Lord

mighty in battle. He is the King of

glory who's about to show up in my body.

The Lord of hosts, he is about to show

up. He's about to perform a miracle. And

he's looking for somebody that'll say,

"Open up and come on in. Is there

anybody in the house that would say,

"Pastor, my life is made up. I'm about

to open the door for the key." And I

dare you to jump to your feet and swing

it wide and say, "Come on in, King. I

hear you knocking. I hear you knocking.

Get in here. I need your help."

Oh, come on. If you're ready for him to

show up, I dare you. Give God about 15

seconds of crazy.

I said he's about to show up in your

physical body. He's about to bring

healing. He's about to show up in your

finances. He's about to show up in your

money. He's about to show up in your

family. He is the king of glory. 1 2 3.

Give him praise.

>> Just remain standing with me all over

the house cuz I'm going to say it like

this. The king is knocking. Look at your

neighbor. Tell them the king is

knocking. Yes,

>> the king is knocking.

>> I'll say this. When the king of glory

shows up and you invite him in after we

went through this big dissertation, who

is this king of glory? The Lord of

hosts, he is the king of glory. And when

I say come on in, guess what? He doesn't

just come in bringing weakness.

>> He comes in bringing power to your life.

How many say, "Pastor, I've seen him

show up in my life and bring so much

power. I feel the glory of the Lord in

this house. I feel the glory of the Lord

in this house. I feel him about to show

up in your life." Oh, come on. Somebody

better give him praise right now for the

fact that he's done it before. I said

he's done it before. And here's what the

word is. If he did it before, he's about

to do it again. Maybe for somebody

sitting beside you. Maybe for somebody

that's been asking God to show up. 1 2

3. Give him praise for his faithfulness

and power.

for I say to you that I am the all

powerful God and when I show up miracles

follow. When I come through the

threshold I will bring peace and

strength and power and courage. I will

bring faith to the room today. Open up

to me and I will come and set up

habitation in your family. I will set up

habitation in your life and I will set

up habitation in this church. If you

desire me, welcome me in with your

praise, says the king of all glory. Oh,

come on. I dare you right now to lift

those hands and lift your voice and

welcome in on praise. Come on. He rides

in. The king rides in on praise. He He

rides it on the wings of our praise.

Come. I feel that. I know you say,

"Pastor, I got things to do." But I dare

you right now to begin to praise him. I

dare you to give him glory. I dare you

to give him honor. I dare you to give

him praise. He's worthy of it. He's

worthy of the worship. He's worthy of

the glory. He's worthy of the praise.

I feel something about to break out of

this house. There's a shift that just

happened in this room. I want to say

this prophetically tonight. The today

the king is knocking on the door of your

heart. And I'm going to say this. If you

wanted to do a miracle in your life,

if you wanted to show up in the midst of

your chaos, if you wanted to show up in

your mind, if you wanted to show up in

your body, I hear the word of the Lord

say, "If you'll just step out from where

you are, come to this altar and raise

your hands, praising him, inviting him

in, opening the door, he's about to show

up. I feel it shifted right now. Come

on. Even if you wanted to show up in

this church, I dare you to step out,

raise those hands, and say, "God, come

on in.
