GOLIATH/9AM// Pastor Terrance Richmond

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

Church Podcast, where we seek to love all nations, equip the

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever

you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get

your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe

some tea, and get ready to receive.

Let's get into it. Last week we celebrated what the

world calls Easter, but we know it as Resurrection Sunday.

It's not a moment, it's not a holiday, but to some people it

is. You get an extra day off of

work. For some people it's just a

moment where we get dressed up. That's our best dressed day.

And then to others it's just tradition.

But for some people, Resurrection Sunday is a

everyday reality. I would like to say that it's

our reality. If you are a believer, it's a

heavenly reality. Jesus didn't almost rise and He

didn't spiritually arise. He got up.

But let me say it the way I want to say it and the way I feel it.

He didn't just get up. Watch this, but he relocated.

He's not there anymore. But often times Easter Sunday

comes that represents a relocation of a person, a body,

a a, a, a anxiety, a death, a fear, a depression.

And then Sunday comes. He got up and then next Thursday

we go back to the tomb. But if you are a believer, you

understand the revelation that once he got up, he never went

back. Once he got up, he never stayed

there. He got up and he relocated.

He's not there anymore. And because he's not there, I

can't stay there. Now, I don't know what you're

there is, but I know I've experienced anxiety, depression,

drugs, alcohol, partying, and because he got up, I can't stay

there. Everybody has a tune, but if you

believe he got up, then you understand that I'm I'm ahead of

myself. But he didn't get up merely for.

Him. He got up as you.

I just was on this week. I'm like, Oh no, how quick we

going to forget. After we celebrate getting up,

we going to go lay back down, not knowing that that day was

the beginning of a promise. And in 50 days from there we

going to all be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Pentecost Sunday. You can't keep me in a place he

already vacated. Somebody say he gone and because

he gone, I'm gone. Look at somebody else.

I don't care if they don't want to talk to you, too bad.

They shouldn't have came to this church.

If he if he gone, I'm gone. Look at somebody else say don't

forget you just said we alive. Some of you would be out of your

circumstances quicker if you realize Jesus already left them.

Hallelujah Luke 20, 416 It says they came to a tomb.

Angel says this. He says why are you looking

amongst the dead? Why are you looking for someone

who's alive amongst the dead? Why are you looking for me?

And a lot of times you allow family and friends and culture

to keep you places You left because you forgot God brought

you out of there. So they come reminding you of

who you used to be. They come reminding you of your

bad character. You're trying to get off this

drug you you've been trying to because they're afraid of your

relapse. You think you have relapsed.

Come on, come on. Because they looking for you in

the last place they knew you, the tomb, they didn't realize

that God got you up and reloaded, located you.

And if they just have some patience with your

transformation, they will get a revelation of who God had

created from the beginning. So sometimes you got to let

people walk out your life because they don't have enough

patience to wait for your new life to show up.

Hallelujah. They came prepared.

They came with spices. They came prepared for death.

But heaven had already decided life.

Is that anybody in here? Heaven, Come on, say that over

yourself. I don't care what you think

about me. God has already decided I'm

alive. God has already decided my

transformation. Come on.

We're not going to stay here that long.

We're not going to stay here that long.

Watch this. The stone was not rolled away so

Jesus could get out. Read your Bible.

It didn't say the stone rolled away.

He walked out. The stone rolled away.

Not so he can get out. It was so we could see in.

Come on. Come.

On. That stone revelates.

That stone represents God opening your eyes to see that he

got up. OK, let me give you a let me

give you a similar thing. The prodigal son came to

himself. God opened his eyes and he saw I

no longer have to stay in this pig pen.

I got a choice. Somebody say I got a choice.

It was rolled away so you and I could see in watch this before

the stone was rolled away. He was already gone.

Come on, come on. Tell, tell, tell whoever.

You're not going to look at your neighbor because they tired of

you already, but you just going to say it so they can hear it.

Say, say, say, say, I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm already gone.

I'm already gone. I'm already gone.

He was already gone before the stone moved.

And sometimes people don't even see how quickly God has changed

you. You got a revelation of what

he's done in your soul. They That's why trying to

explain your new man before your new man is revealed to people is

absolutely ludicrous, because you have a revelation.

You've changed. You still need transformation so

they can see the change, but although people see the change,

sometime they can't see the change because they are

spiritually blind and they don't want to admit that you ain't

there no more. Family want to pull you back to

who they knew when you was younger, but you got to put

these words in your mouth moving forward.

Mama, I'm sorry, Daddy, I'm sorry.

Brother, I'm sorry. Wife, husband, I'm sorry.

But I I know you knew me as a thief.

I know you knew me as a liar. I know you knew me as a

manipulator. I know you knew me as that.

But I ain't there no more. As of today, I'm not there no

more. I'm not accepting these grave

clothes that you trying to put on me no more.

Yeah. God did not move the stone to

free Jesus. He moved it to prove.

Death could not hold him. Now watch this.

And when they looked inside, they saw something else.

If you read your Bible you will see when they looked inside the

empty tomb there was a cloth folded.

Yeah, so again, watch this. The cloth was folded.

You see what kind of time that took?

Wait a minute. Come on.

Jesus was taking his time. See, we envision resurrection as

chaotic. No, the the, the, the, the towel

was not was not thrown. It was not chaotic, nor did

Jesus rush out the tomb. You like you like What are you

talking about? Watch this when God transitions

you, it will not be chaotic. Some of y'all have chaotic

transitions and let me help you whenever you transition messy.

It's not God. All of God's transitions,

whether you walk in it or not, carry peace, not division, not

confusion. It was not.

He folded a towel. Watch this.

He folded A napkin. Nothing about resurrection was

chaotic Because I know this. Watch this.

Here's evidence. They said somebody robbed the

grave. Whoa.

Grave robbers don't fold towels. Ain't no time to fold a towel if

I'm stealing something. And dead men don't organize

fabric, right? And dead men don't or no watch

this. It wasn't just folded, it was

placed neatly. God is trying to seal your past

neatly. He works everything together for

my good. Somebody shout out neatly,

there's this idea that all transitions and breakups and

obeying God got to be messy. I got to hurt somebody.

I got to lie. I got to do something on.

When God calls, you let them freak out.

But there's nothing about a move of God that is going to bring

chaos to your life. Watch this.

Every disruption is not chaotic. That means when he got up, he

wasn't struggling. Why?

Your transition got to be struggling.

When he got up, he wasn't rushing.

Where are you rushing to next? OK, God called you.

He got you. He gave you got a word.

He told you. It's time to start the business.

Why you rushing though? Peace brought you revelation and

now you're going to allow chaos to destroy it.

He wasn't fighting to get out the tomb because he he

understood that no man, no matter if you close the door or

not, when it's time for me to transition and go, God will find

a way for me to go. He got up with intention.

He did not just rise, He relocated.

The. Grave still had his clothes.

Why some of y'all in the spirit we can look.

You say you knew, but in your purse is some remnants from your

past. He left his grave close.

Let the grave hold the grave close.

Let your pass. Hold your pass.

Why you still holding it? The grave still had his clothes,

but the grave did not have his body.

If he had time to fold the cloth, pay attention.

If he had time to fold the cloth.

Then death was never in control. Come on, EJI, don't know who

watching right now. I know it seems hard right now

or you going through a season. It seem like you can nothing is

changing. It seems like everything's

against you. But I'm here to announce the

death anxiety, depression, fear. It does not have control.

God has control. God has control.

After all of that stone rolled cloth was folded, you got

evidence everywhere. They still came with spices.

Why? Because you and I can see

evidence and still live like it never happened.

Some of y'all can see all the evidence of God's goodness.

But let a little pressure walk in your life.

You forgot how good he was. You forgot what he's brought you

through. You forgot in spite of bad

childhood, in spite of abuse, in spite of God.

Still, if you look for his hands, you'll find it.

Watch this. It ain't hard to find God's

hand. But not today.

When when he got up, we got up. We're not trying to get up.

We up. It's it's up from here.

Somebody say it's up from here. It's it's up from here.

He didn't just get up for you. He got up as you.

You got to get that. He got up as you.

He didn't get it. What did he need to die or get

up for? He didn't do nothing.

He died for you and he got up as you.

And if you read your Bible, the Bible say he didn't just get up

as us, but we are sitting with him.

Somebody say it's up from here. So, so I'm not thinking Lo, no,

MO, I'm not living. No, no.

What's this? You got to watch this.

Even if you are in the middle of your struggle.

Stop letting people talk down to you.

I don't care if it's a spouse. Stop letting them talk down to

you. But don't you talk down back.

Let them sound stupid. Watch this.

Watch this. Next time your spouse talk down

to you, say you don't you. You must not know me yet.

I'm sorry. I'm in the way of you really

knowing who I am. I'm sorry.

But if you just wait around, you'll see and watch this.

Tell them you better start changing yourself.

Because by the time I catch up to my new man, you better not be

Ratchet. All right, then.

Walk away. Walk away.

Bless him. Cook something for him.

Don't leave it at that. But when I'm standing up, the

devil can't stand a chance. When I'm standing, when I

finally decide to stand up, the devil can't stand a chance.

Watch this. Your excuses will never bring

breakthrough. Because I'm not standing alone.

I'm standing in resurrection power.

Good Friday washed us, Easter raised us, and Pentecost will

fill us. I'm not carrying shame, I'm not

staying down. I'm not running empty.

I'm clean, I'm up. I'm full.

I'm clean. That's that's what Good Friday

did. Clean me.

Easter. I'm up.

Pentecost. I'm full.

I'm clean. I'm up.

I'm full. Somebody say that I'm clean.

I'm up. I'm full.

I'm washed by the blood raised by power, filled with the fire.

He gone. So I'm gone.

It's up from here. If you believe you're not who

used to be. If you believe you're not where

you used to be, if you believe you're not staying where you

used to pee, just say I've relocated.

You can write it down. Colossians 3 tells us.

If then you were raised with Jesus, then seek those things

that are above. Seek those heavenly realities.

Set your mind on things that are above.

For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

So now you have a new position because you was raised.

You have a new perspective because you have set your mind

on Jesus, and you have new placement because you are hidden

in Jesus. Christ.

You have a proclamation mandate because as he told the woman, he

said, Mary, go and tell them I'm alive.

I'm not there no more. And I think we not we need, we

going to spend the next one, maybe one minute in a second,

the next one minute in a second and we are going to proclaim our

liberty and our new life. So the proof is in the tomb.

The position is in Christ, there's power in me and then

there's a proclamation on me. Before we get in today's

message, we going to take one to two minutes because I don't want

to listen to another message this year.

I don't want to worship another song this year going back and

forth to the tomb. I just wanted to pause for a

minute and remind us it's up from here.

There's no more tomb days in our lives.

I've left my grave clothes in the grave and now it's just up

from here. Somebody say it's up from here.

If you believe that, just stand to your feet and just begin to

proclaim your liberty. Begin to proclaim your freedom.

Begin to proclaim on it. Put on your new clothes.

Come on, lift your hands. And lift your voice.

If you came in here with grave clothes, take them off.

It's up from here. Hallelujah, it's up from here.

Death could not hold you. The veil torn before you.

Yeah, come on, 30 more seconds. With authority.

With authority. With authority.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 10 more seconds. 10 more seconds.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, somebody say three

times I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive.

Come on, come on, Say I'm no longer there.

Somebody say it's up. From here, come on, say I've

relocated. Come on, say Death cannot hold

me because he got up. I got up.

Look to your neighbors. Say because he got up, you got

up. Shout out.

It's up from here. Come on.

Have a seat. It's up from here.

Yeah. Come on.

I want to encourage you. Keep your head up.

Put your shoulders back. We all going through this human

experience, but it's up from here.

The Redeemer. Real redeem.

He's working everything together for my good.

Yes, he got up, he stayed up, he relocated and when he got up, we

got up and we relocated. That is the good news.

I'm. Going to talk to you for a few

minutes today about this. Thought I had those, no?

Went to we. Were in Toronto and I just had

this revelation as I was walking with, we was walking through our

sun through, you know, competition.

I'm going to just say competition and a lot of you

were watching the game and you know that we were upset and we

did not win the championship like we wanted to.

We were upset. Meaning we not, we were mad, we

were mad, but we're not mad like that.

But we were a team that shouldn't have beat us, beat us.

But kudos to them. They played very well.

But I had a revelation because we beat them three times

already, 2 times already. This would have been the third.

We beat them already. Somebody say we beat them.

We didn't just beat them, we dominated them.

And then when we lost, we, we lost they, they dominated us.

And I was sitting there, Andrew and I was in in the stands

thinking about this. And I was like, we approached

that game as though we were David, not knowing we were

Goliath. But we came in as David.

And a lot of times we look at David because of his triumph in

victory, but we don't walk in David's triumph.

We often walk in his belittling smallness.

The way we shake David is like we're the we're the comeback

story. We're we're the overlooked.

We often victimize David. So most of us in here, when we

connect to David, it's as a victim.

And I'm like, whoa. Because they came in the game as

they was Goliath and the team they played because they was

dominated before they had a right to be David.

So their David approach worked for them because the odds were

against them. So David was their reality.

But sometime David is not your reality.

Sometime Goliath, in the sense of power and strength is your

reality. And you try to play the victim

when God puts you in a position to dominate.

And I said if we would have approached it as though we beat

up Goliath twice, we can't do the same thing.

We beat up David twice, we can't approach it the same way.

But a lot of times you are the dominant one, but you want to

play victim. And so today I got a message for

you. I'll see how far we can get.

It says what's so bad about Goliath?

A lot of times we just take one sided stories and we just like

Goliath is terrible. It's just like in the world, the

world is just evil and demonic. But let me help you.

Let me help you with this. They do a lot of stuff better

than the church. So did God say you can't learn

from the world or you don't depend on the world?

And so a lot of times God will put people in front of us.

That's donkeys. And we like you a donkey.

So I can't listen to you or you an adulterer, so I can't talk to

you. But in that God is teaching us a

lesson. First Samuel 17 says this

Goliath says, he said to David, am IA dog, I want you to

remember that am IA dog, that you come at me with sticks.

And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

Come here, he said, and I'll give you your flesh to the birds

and the wild animals. You come over here.

This is this is Goliath talking. You come over here, it's over.

You come over here, it's a wrap. You come over here.

I own you. I've been taunting y'all for 40

days. I own you, I own your psyche,

it's over. I dominate you.

Come over here and see what happened, David said.

David said, So we hear what Goliath said.

Goliath said I'm big, bad. I'm I'm the giant, I dominate

you. David said to the Philistine.

You come against me with the sword and spear and javelin, but

I come against you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the Lord

Almighty Saba oath, the God of the armies of Israel whom you

have defied this day. The Lord will deliver you into

my hands. Goliath say I'm going to handle

it. David say God don't handle it.

Psalm 27 verse 7 says this. Some trust in Chariots and some

Psalms 27:7

in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God when

the Bible says Chariots. This is not casual language.

Chariots were the most advanced military system of ancient

world. Speed, power, elevation,

strategy. They gave nations dominance.

They represent systems and strategy, visible advantage and

what man builds to win. OK.

And horses, they represent strength and speed and force and

power and dominance. Some trust in Chariots and some

trust in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Some trust what they've built. Come in here, in this room, in

this room, Families, friends. Some of us trust in what we

built. Some of us trust in what we can

control. Some of us trust in what gives

us an edge. Some of us trust in our

abilities. Some of us trust in our

connection. Some of us trust in our bank

account. Some of us trust in our talents.

Watch this. This situation with Goliath and

David. This is not weak versus strong.

This is strong versus strong. One is trusting systems, another

is trusting source. One is trusting what they have,

and the other is trusting who God is.

As for me and my house, we going what serve the Lord.

Watch this. It is not wrong to have

Chariots. It is wrong to trust them more

than God. So this is not condemning your

ability. God gave it to you.

This is not condemning your business.

God gave it to you. This is not condemning your

looks. God gave it to you.

But when you depend on it more, whatever your source of joy is,

when you depend on it more, it's not the Chariots, it's not the

horses, it's not by Mike nor by power, but it is by his what

spirit? Watch it.

David and Goliath was not just a conversation we just read.

That was a collision, Elder John of two systems, two sources, two

different identities. Goliath said this people, I will

look at me, look at what I have. David said the Lord will this is

about him. This is for his name.

David said the battle that I'm in is about God.

The glory is for him. The the situation you're going

through. What if you just said no, this

is about God, this is for him and this is the Lord's will for

my life says watch this. Everybody wants to be David.

Everybody wants to be David. But if you're not careful, you

will put on the wrong identity because watch this as much as

you think is working against you is really not there is actually

more working for you that is working against you.

Watch this. We want to be like David look

good, right underdog, right overlook whenever we think of

David's stories, it's always from being overlooked Underdog.

We was forgotten. We the little man.

It's defeat, but you ain't going to beat me.

No, no, no, whenever and and we're we're we're we're talked

about. We're persecuted.

We always put on the victim side.

We love that story. Let's go in a little deeper for

you guys. You have at times in your life,

Goliath level strength, Goliath level abilities, Goliath level

influence, Goliath level. Watch this opportunities.

But you're still standing where David started.

You see the situation, you hear voices.

You got family thinking, you crazy you.

You got other people in your life offering you other options,

other armor. You even know what God said

about your life, but you haven't stepped into authority yet.

You're aware, but you're not yet authoritative.

You're aware of what he said. You're aware that he could fix

the situation, but you haven't yet stepped into the authority

that he's put on you. Or you've stepped into strength.

You've stepped into influence. But somewhere along the way you

stop depending on God. You know our life with God, we

walk by faith. God is with us from the cradle

to the grave. You don't just walk with God

till you get breakthrough or until you get healed and then

all of a sudden you, you just head back to your tomb.

Let me let me help everybody. If you ain't walking with God,

you in a tomb, super simple. You ain't walking with God.

You in a tomb. Now your confidence is in what

you have. It is in what you've built.

It is what you can do so then when God is trying to God

blesses you with something, then watch this.

I want to help everybody in here.

Once God bless you with something, he's going to ask you

to put it on the altar. Some of y'all he didn't bless

you with something and you still holding tight to it.

Watch this one finger on it is still disobedience.

Some of y'all standing like this one hand on the God I stepped, I

came closer to you. I draw nigh.

So on one side people won't step into authority and on the other

side people have stepped into authority but stepped out of

submission. Can I help somebody in here?

Oh, you Holy Ghost filled you. You walk in authority.

You know how to pray. Now some of y'all in here have

upgraded your prayer life, but then you still struggle with

submission. Watch this.

Let me help you. What submission is submission is

not just to God because we got a lot of I I I submit to God

people. But if you submit to God, you

also submit to the delegated authority he put in your life.

So watch this if you're married and God say the husband is the

priest of the home. I don't I I I I'm sorry ladies,

I don't really care, but you still got I don't care how much

he tweaking now don't take abuse.

Don't take abuse of no kind but if he just making mistakes who

are you to be down on him help meet.

No, I get it. He ain't worth honoring.

He don't pray, he don't want a tithe I get it.

But as you walk with God for His Son, what's required of you is

the submit. Submission is not a cuss word.

It's a Kingdom word. So take the word submission out

of hell and put it back where it belongs.

Submission is a word of authority.

You see, one is hesitation, David.

The other is pride. One is hesitation.

David hesitates. He's observing.

He's in conversation, he's calculating.

And then the other is pride, the life.

And neither one reflects David, though watch this.

Neither one of these reflect David.

We hesitate. We we, we struggle with pride.

But when it comes to really reflecting David, why, why, why

are we using this title? What's wrong?

What's so bad about Goliath? I get ahead of myself, but do

you notice the Bible did not rebuke Goliath's skill?

The Bible did not rebuke Goliath's ability.

The Bible did not rebuke the Philistines wealth.

What is God rebuking? Who's governing Goliath's life?

He's a man depending on his own, so it's not God made him 9 feet

and a half. God not mad, he tall.

God not trying to shrink him. God, watch this.

God not even trying to make Goliath think less of himself.

God is just trying to make Goliath think more of God.

Yeah, it is. You are called to walk in

dominion, but dominion only works when you stay submitted to

God. Goliath had power.

David had authority. You want power or authority?

See, see one. When you got power, you got to

talk about it. When you got authority, you can

be quiet. Your presence has authority, and

heaven only backs what is under authority.

You were never called to be weak.

You were only called to be submitted because power without

submission will always drift to pride.

Yeah, you, you weren't just called to live on your own and

walk in your own ability and on your own schedule and on your

own time and on your own thoughts and on your own will.

You was never called to do that. You were called to submit

because power without submission will always drift into pride.

Here's what I see with a lot of young people.

God is moving on young people in this last day, but because they

struggle with submission, then they're dealing with pride and

the power and anointing that's on them.

It's drawing and influencing people, but for the work of

darkness, can can, can God have power on you?

And because you're not submitted, it's being misused.

Yeah, yeah, your business is successful, but it might not be

God. It just means God is not going

to take what he put on you back. Could you actually be successful

without God? What?

First of all, you can never be successful without God and be a

child of God because he put it on you.

But if you define success success on things, then sure.

But if you. You define success as God being

pleased with you, not your stuff.

That's a whole different definition.

And many of us think success is about mammon and you have not

paused yet and said God, are you pleased with me?

I know I got accolades, but are you pleased with me?

I know my savings account is good, but are you pleased with

me? I know I stopped smoking, but

are you pleased with me? There, there's evil people,

there's people that don't follow God that stopped bad habits.

They're disciplined. It don't mean they're submitted.

And some of y'all have pride in the area of your discipline

because you think you'll watch this.

Some of y'all idolize. You have made discipline and

idol. You pride yourself in

discipline, but you don't pride yourself in submission.

So you skillful, you do what you do real good.

But I'm here to tell you, if God don't have you, he's not pleased

with you. Are you OK with that?

What is the profit? A man, it's a game in the world,

but lose his soul. You, you were, you were, you

weren't called to be weak. You were called to be submitted.

Watch this and submission without stepping up.

So there's the other side, EJ, there's the other side.

There's people who have submitted, but you'd want to

drop in the background and be like, I'm good.

They could do that. It's not my time yet.

Submission without stepping up will always drift into

passivity. Some of y'all way too passive

about your call. You think you got a whole lot of

time on this earth, huh? Yeah.

When you're sitting in that Gurney, when you're sitting in

that bed, when that stroke hits your body, when that heart

attack hits your body, it's not it's not the time to be like,

OK, God put me on the put me on the mission field.

I'll speak now, God. And I'm not wishing that on

nobody. But I'm just saying we in this

life, you don't know what tomorrow going to look like.

Your whole world could get flipped upside down.

Then you going to run to God and be like, OK, OK, OK, that's bad.

God always sends accountability. Because my Mama told me this,

it's better your pastor or your parents correct you than God.

That's the part we forget. When you like, I'm cool with

just God. So you mean you want God to

correct you? Like you want God to allow that

thing to take you out because you don't want to listen to

somebody? No, no, no, I've seen it.

It's a real thing. That's why God sends parents and

pastors and they, they, you got to understand, parents and

pastors are intercessors. God say, hey, tell that child

they better stop. Tell that child they better

stop. And then one day he said, OK, be

quiet enough. Move out the way.

I'll let him know it's time to stop.

I've been down that road one time.

Lord, don't ever, don't ever, don't.

I don't ever want God to have to correct me.

No, I don't want that in my relationship with my father,

right? Watch this if you're a parent.

It's not fun having to always correct your kids.

Sometimes you like, I just want to hang out with you.

This God just wants to watch this.

God said I want to abide with you.

Why do I always got to correct you?

Can't we just hang out? Can't we just watch a movie

uninterrupted called Goodness and Mercy?

Can't you just focus on me and my goodness and I focus on you,

my greatest creation? And can't we just walk through

this life and I can easily be like, hey, son, go over here and

do that. Say that daughter and, and, and

you do it. Why?

Why all the pride? How long it's going to take?

God didn't call you to choose between power and humility.

He called you to carry both, Danny.

So then it's the humble people that's always trying to calm the

powerful people down. Like it ain't room for both in

my life. God is not telling you to choose

humility or power. Watch this.

You can't walk in true humility without power.

Yeah, it's not wrong to have power.

It's wrong to trust power more than God.

Goliath had domination, David had dominion.

Watch this some of y'all now. And one day you're going to be

able to buy whatever you want in this world but couldn't cast a

demon out of your child. How you got all that money and

that good job and your child is running around obsessed with

demons. How how you don't got no

authority in your own home? How you happy with that?

How how you got how you got real good job, but your marriage is

not real good. So you doing good to people,

you're doing better than your daddy did.

But if you ask God today, does he have your soul?

Does he have control? Does he have full way in your

life? What would that conversation

sound like? So what's so bad about Goliath?

Here is the real issue. His issue was not strength.

His issue was source I I believe this is going to help about two

or three people, maybe 5 his His issue was not strength.

His issue was source. There is so much untapped power

in your life because you still think it won't happen unless you

do. Let me help you.

It won't happen unless you just be being does not mean don't

work hard. His issue was not strength, it

was Source First Samuel 17 four says and a champion went out of

the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of God, whose

height was. 6. Cubits and a span almost 10

feet. The brother was almost 10 feet.

This ain't no parable. 10 feet and he had a bronze helmet.

If I'm 10 feet, do I need a helmet?

He was strong and protected and he had a bronze helmet on his

head and wore a coat of mail and the coat weighed 5000 shekels of

bronze bronze. Not napkins, Bronze.

You know how big and strong you got to be to carry 5000 shekels

of bronze? He had bronze shin armor on his

legs and a bronze javelin across his shoulders, and the shaft of

his spear was like a weaver's beam.

His spear's head weighed 600 shekels of iron and a shield

bearer went before him. What, David?

What about 58? With heels on, so in the spirit

and prophetically, you got to understand that there's more for

us than against us. So you got to understand to the

enemy, you look 9 feet 5, you got all kind of protection

around you to the enemy and there's some areas in your life

where you're approaching the battle.

Like the odds are against you? What if there's more for us than

who can be against us? God open their eyes to show them

they're more for us than are against us.

If one can put 1000 of flight then two can put 10.

What there is more? If God be for us, then who can

be against us? I'm blessed coming in, I'm

blessed coming out. I'm the head, not the tail.

What are we talking about? So in the spirit realm, there is

a What's wrong with Goliath's size?

Nothing. What's wrong with his skill?

Nothing. What's wrong with his help?

Nothing. What's wrong with his systems?

Nothing. But what's wrong with his soul?

Everything he's. Not submitted.

His brother is 9 feet covered in bronze, carrying weapons heavier

than most men could fit. Goliath, watch this.

The Bible does not rebuke his excellence.

So then what's the problem? Verse 10 says this.

You guys and the Philistines said I define the ranks of

Israel this day. Give me a man that we might may

fight together. Goliath.

He didn't just challenge Israel, he challenged the God of Israel.

He wasn't just challenging David.

Watch this. And David had that revelation.

Who you talk, you ain't you ain't talking to me.

That's what y'all got to stop taking it personal like you.

You ain't talking to me. I don't care if it's your Mama,

daddy, your granny, your your husband, your wife, your kid,

even your little kids. Spook them out one day.

Who you talking to? You see all them angels behind

me, right? Who are you talking to?

He had a revelation, so he wasn't easily offended.

How are you easily offended when you know somebody that's talking

crazy to you? Ain't really just talking to

you. You talking to the God of

Terence? You talking to the God of Elder

John? You talking to the God of Seon?

You talking to the God of Love Quest?

You talking to the God? You talking to the God of Great?

Who are you talking to? 'Cause you know what I need to

pray for you, 'cause you clearly don't got your eyes open if you

knew who you was talking to. That's what they say about you.

If you knew who you was putting on the cross.

Not taking it personal no more. I'm going to do my best.

I know it's easier to set them, but let's not take it personal

no more. Let's not be easily offended.

I ain't got time to be offended. Here's the issue, Goliath.

Strength without submission, power without covering, and

authority without alignment. Here's the issue.

You're blessed. No covering.

Watch this because you go to church.

Don't mean you're covered. If you ain't submitted, you

ain't covered. Watch this.

If I throw a blanket on you and you get from under it, guess

what? You ain't covered.

Guess what? Put a blanket over you.

But guess what you did. You got from under the covering

because you you're going to keep yourself warm.

All right? Sure.

Right. It's not realistic.

I was just really quickly giving a given a data check to see if

this would be a good example. Let's try it.

OK. It's not good.

Like me and my wife cannot sleep through the whole night if I

keep her warm. So you have blankets on the bed,

right? So I can't just cuddle with her

all night and she get a good night's sleep.

So she gets covered and kept warm by what?

Blankets. Watch this.

You think God is always going to just talk to you?

You think God is always going to walk with you?

Like God, I don't need nobody. I don't need no pastor.

I don't need nobody. But God gives blankets.

He gives pastors. He gives pastors after his own

heart. Watch this.

God know what kind of pastor you need better than you know.

Yeah. So he gives blankets, He gives

evangelists blankets. He gives pastors blankets, he

gives, he gives children parents blankets.

And on his behalf, we cover you. So when you can't sense God's

presence, he still has a covering.

When you don't experience His touch, he still has covering.

So you might have strength, but you ain't got submission.

You might got power, influence, and impact, and people know you,

but you don't got no covering. And you might have authority,

but it's without alignment. So if you're out of alignment,

your power is misaligned. And if God ain't getting the

power usage, then who else is? You don't lose.

Watch this. You don't lose to giants first

with actions. You lose with agreement.

Yeah, that giant in your life wasn't because the giant

actually defeated you. The giant cannot defeat you

without agreement. That giant thought that you keep

getting plagued with. You found agreement somewhere

you you kind of consider and is that true about you?

And that's where the enemy wears this down.

He's tried to, he brings he, he has familiar spirits.

And although it is different people saying the thing, it's

multiple people saying the same thing.

Watch this. At one point in your life, it

was true. At one point in your life, it

was your motive. At one point in your life, it

was your heart. But you have to get the

revelation and God actually has changed you, and that's not you

no more. And so people will misunderstand

you, mislabel you, misalign you, misappropriate you.

But guess what? You have to know that that is

the liar, the enemy trying to keep you or get you back to your

tomb. And you have to understand, no,

I got up, I've relocated. I'm no longer there.

No more. My grave clothes have been

behind. I have no remnants of my past.

I am a new man. I am loved.

I am seen. I am transformed by the renewing

of my mind. My labor is not in vain.

My love is not in vain. My sewing is not in vain.

I have been changed from the inside out.

I might not be where I'm going to be, but I'm shown not where I

used to be. Where I used to be on drugs and

anxiety and depression. I believe the lies.

I was insecure. I had poor self-image.

I am no longer in that tomb. I am not there, there, I am

here. So if you want to keep on

looking for me in the tomb, I'm here to tell you that Terence

Richmond is alive and I'm no longer where you used to know

me. I'm not who I used to be 5 years

ago. I'm not who I used to be. 5

months. Ago.

I'm not who I used to be 5 weeks ago.

I'm not who I used to be 5 days ago.

Heck, I'm not who I used to be 5 minutes ago.

Because when God walks in the room, everything changed.

Even stuff that was here 60 seconds ago.

If God moves in the room, it all changes.

I want you to see something guys.

First Samuel 17 reveals something if you pay attention.

Here's another problem with him. He says I'll give my flesh I'm

I'm I'm about this is bully talking.

Watch this. He's loud, but he's not secure

in himself. Spot when the accuser or the

persecutor is talking from. They fear and insecurity of you.

A lot of times the people that's putting their mouth on you, it

ain't them. It's a spirit in them and that

spirit is afraid of you. So what that spirit's trying to

do is get you away from them because they know the longer

they stay around you, something got to change.

So let me push you as far as I can away from my life.

Let me make you mad at me so you don't declare.

I want to make you so mad. You don't even pray for me no

more and if I could get you to forget about me, please.

Because that enemy knows every time that person comes around

you as only a matter of time, they are going to change.

So This is why the enemy wants you offended.

You notice how you don't get offended from the people who

ain't good for you. You'll stay longer in darkness

than you will in lights. That's the enemy trying to get

you back in that tomb. He cannot stand you being out of

the tomb too long. He couldn't stop the

resurrection, but he can slow down new life progress.

And if his slow Down's too long, watch this.

You might not go back to the grave, but the grave will catch

up to you. Secure people, watch this.

Secure people don't need to announce themselves.

Goliath's identity was built on what he had and what he could

do. His boldness was covering his

insecurity. Knowing people loud because they

don't trust their silence. Knowing people loud because

they're projecting. Knowing people loud because

they're projecting. Knowing people loud because

they're afraid If you ain't If they give you the mic revelation

might come. His boldness was covering

insecurity. He said watch this.

Here's an insecure statement. Am IA dog or something?

You you think I'm a dog? He's projecting.

No, nobody said you was a dog. I just showed up Little old me.

I haven't said nothing to you, Goliath.

Why did Where did you get that from?

So look, see, see, You got to understand competitive game.

It's mental. So what's coming out of your

opponent's mouth? You think I'm a dog, Sir?

I, I just walked on the scene. I'm half the size as you, and

all I got is a stone in my hand. You got on all this armor and

you asking me if I think you're a dog, Sir?

If I was honest, I'm quite scared right now.

So I got to be quiet until God puts His words on my mouth.

Oh, I got a revelation. You ain't talking to me.

You talking to him. You're not messing with me, you

messing with him. I'm his child, I'm his son.

You come with sword, but I come in.

The name of the Lord is what he says this day.

The Lord will deliver you this day.

The Lord will breakthrough for you this day.

The Lord will break anxiety off of you this day.

The Lord will break bondage off of you this day.

The Lord will reconcile your marriage this day.

The Lord will heal you from cancer this day.

The Lord will heal your tumors this day, The Lord will heal

this day. The Lord will heal this.

Is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad

it is. That's a song for battle lines.

Show up to the battle and this is the day that the Lord has

made. The Lord will do it.

Come on, say that the Lord will do it.

Goliath's trusted resources. David trusted revelation.

David trusted revelation. So.

Goliath trusted what he had, He trusted in his size, he trusted

in his ability, and David trusted in God's ability.

David trusted in sonship. David trusted in the power of

God. David trusted in the Angel army.

Questioning you is who you trust.

It's easy to throw around. I trust God, it's easy.

Stop. Can we stop?

Let's just look at our actions and look at our reactions.

Do you trust God? Some of y'all can blatantly say

right now, Nope. OK, something better change

quick. I promise you, as much as cool

as you are, you can't save yourself.

As cool as you are, whatever's coming down the pipe for your

future, you will not be strong enough and you will not have

enough resources to bring you out of that situation.

What's wrong with Goliath? Nothing's wrong with his

strength. Nothing's wrong with his

resources, nothing wrong with his size, nothing is wrong with

his. Nothing is wrong with his

confidence. But God's not governing his

soul. There's a lot of people even in

the church that are intimidated of your confidence in the Lord.

Keep it in the Lord. If it's in the Lord.

Don't listen to nobody that tell you you too loud.

If you shouting with a voice of triumph because you love God and

you shouting from revelation that he's good.

I don't care how much you get on somebody nerves shout with a

voice of triumph. If people say you do too much

because you dance, make sure you dancing for Revelation, not

attention, because people show up in church in here too.

And I'll call it out one day. I see, I see you shaking your

twats and your twits and all all this stuff.

And it's not for God, it's for attention, right?

Because when it's for God, dancing for God leads to

transformation, right? So you going to dance and you

going to start looking different.

You going to start dressing different, you going to start

talking different. But when you stay the same and

you going that away, no, you've been dancing for attention.

And so you need to go to somebody and just say I'm broken

and I want some attention. But praise breaks ain't time for

attention. It's time for encounter.

Goliath trusted resources. David trusted revelation.

So we are called to have dominion.

We are called to be a free people.

We are called to walk in power. We are called to walk in

dominion. When he got up, we got up.

And he didn't just get up for himself, he got up as us, right?

Watch this. Because if he defeated the

grave, guess what? You defeated the grave.

If he defeated death, you defeated death.

If death couldn't hold him, death can't hold you.

If sickness couldn't hold him, sickness can't hold you.

If poverty couldn't hold him, poverty couldn't hold you.

If persecution couldn't hold him, persecution can't hold you.

If lies couldn't fool him, lies can't fool you.

It don't matter what people say about you.

It don't matter what things happen around you.

It don't matter what's happening around you, under you, above

you. God is working everything

together for his good. Rather people understand it or

not rather. People see it or not.

God is working everything together for His good.

God is working everything together for His good.

I will not back down. I will not quiet up.

I will not turn around. I'm going forward.

It's up from here. God's been good.

God's always good. God is faithful.

God is amazing. God is glorious.

He deserves the glory. He deserves the honor.

He deserves the praise. And that's when we come to the

subtitle. I'm just built different.

I can walk in humility and power.

I'm sorry if my awareness of who I am gets on your nerves, but in

the name of Jesus, the power of the Holy Ghost is in me.

Just built different. David had power.

David had resources, and it's just because his resources

wasn't bronze and it was a stone.

When you take your little resource and put it in the

source hands, then it knocks down giants with his bronze.

Everything fell when Goliath fell, not watch this.

Not only did Goliath get taken out, it says that all his people

EJ took off running. So you've been trying to deal

with little demons, deal with the Goliath in your life,

because when, when the little demons general get taken out,

then they got to go, they got to run.

So what is your Goliath in your life?

What is that thing that has been taunting you?

What is that insecurity? What is that mountain you can't

overcome yet? What is that?

What? What is what is that plague in

your soul? No, you don't need to stop

smoking. Yeah, wait, wait a minute.

You don't need to stop drinking. That's not Goliath.

That's a fruit of Goliath. Deal with your rage.

Deal with your. Deal with your neglect.

Deal with your abandonment. Deal with your rejection issues.

Did deal with whatever, wherever that rape left you.

Deal with whatever the parents walking out on you left you deal

with that. Because if you don't deal with

Goliath, all the fruit will remain.

Today, we, we, we, we stand against.

We show up to the battlefield understanding that all power is

on our side through Jesus Christ, in the name of the Lord

of hosts, in the name of Jesus. And if you've overcome

everything, then pray for somebody else to overcome

something. But what I read in the Bible,

David didn't look at Goliath. He said something.

So you can't think about your giants.

You got to talk to it. No, no, this isn't watch this.

This is not a dialogue. I am not going back and forth

with my giants. It's a one way conversation.

Today is over for you. So open your mouth and begin to

declare. Come on, you know what it is.

Be specific. Be specific.

Be specific. Be specific.

If it's your finances, whatever the idol is, whatever it is, be

specific and leave it at the tomb.

Leave it at the tomb. Come on, open your mouth.

A few unashamed people. You can start by praying in the

spirit. Yeah.

It's up from here. It is up from here.

For some of y'all. For some of y'all.

It's up from here. Clarity is here.

Renewed strength is here. Come on, come on.

Some of y'all have been so tired and fatigued in your soul.

You've been sleeping but can't find no strength.

You've been taking naps but can't find no rest.

Come on, renewed strength today. You about to mount up like wings

on eagles today. He is going to renew your

strength right now in the name of Jesus.

Come on Father, we cast that weight down in the name of

Jesus. We cast that burden down in the

name of Jesus. We cast those lies down in the

name of Jesus. When we cast those fears down in

the name of Jesus, we cast that anxiety down in the name of

Jesus. We cast unforgiveness down in

the name of Jesus. We cast offense down in the name

of Jesus. When we pick up peace, we pick

up strength. We pick up power, We pick up

grace, pick up kindness, We walk in patience.

We walk by faith and not by sight.

Our emotions will not govern us, but the Holy Ghost will govern

us. As we walk into the day of

Pentecost, Pentecost, Sunday. Lord, we will choose to walk in

power and we will choose to walk in humility with our hearts and

our minds. Surrender to You.

We're anointed to build and battle.

We're anointed to walk in power and humility.

Yeah. Take a moment.

Take a moment. Every giant that shows up is

here to teach you something. Are you learning from your

giant? Watch this.

Instead of worshipping your giants, you should learn from

your giants. What is your giant showing up to

reveal? That's in you.

But I love it because the giant didn't show up for David's

defeat. The giant showed up so David

could dig in EJ. He had to dig in and find

something. Greater is he that is in him

than he that he had to find something.

But I love it because David in order to step in authority, he

had to remember the hand of God previously.

So I love it. He showed up to the battlefield

with a testimony. Watch this.

His testimony gave his Pebble power.

So it don't matter how small your weapon is, the biggest

weapon you have is your testimony.

Come on, don't stare at your giant.

Open your mouth and speak of the goodness of God.

He's been faithful through generations.

It's up from here, my bloodline. It's up from here.

It's up from here, it is up from here, It is up from here.

Bible says glory to glory up from here, faith to faith up

from here, It is up from here. It's going to get sweeter.

It's watch this in the presence of my enemies, it's still going

to be sweet. In the hardest times of my life,

there is still going to be sweetness.

He prepares a table in the presence of your enemies.

He did not say the enemies had a seat at the table.

He just said the enemies will witness what's happening at the

table and what will they see at the table.

They will see a covenant that they once had that now you.

Have you are a son and you are a daughter of the Most High God.

Don't fear an enemy that envies you.

The devil thought he had you. That's the good news.

The devil wish it was over, but it's too late.

The the devil knows he missed an opportunity.

That's that's what I'm dancing on.

The devil is mad because he missed an opportunity.

He he missed an opportunity. Can you just think for a minute

the opportunity he really could have had, you should have had

you. Can you think of that season in

your life where he could have? I want you to go there.

Where where could you agree that he really actually should have

took you out there and then after like 60 seconds when you

fill it in your Holy Ghost, I want you to look at that moment

where he should have took you out.

Watch this. Some of y'all handed him the

keys and said you can take it. The moment you said God end it

now. That's when you was telling the

devil he can have you now. But then I want you to get get

get. Real quick and in your spirit

that you're here now, you're not where you used to be and the

devil missed out on this opportunity.

The devil missed out on this opportunity.

Here's the revelation is they did not know they buried a seed.

Yeah. What do seeds do?

Multiply. So it may seem like you've been

buried for death, but I'm here to announce to you.

Lift your hands. You have been buried for

multiplication. The devil did not still do not

understand who he's messing with.

So when it seems like you're in darkness, you can't see.

You don't know what's next. The walls are closing in on you.

You feel buried. You feel like you're in a tomb.

Jesus got up because he was planted, not buried.

The devil thought he buried you. Watch this.

The devil. The devil buried him in a tomb.

God planted him in a tomb. I want to tell you where you are

right now. God has planted you there

because he has plans to multiply you out of there.

Whoever can receive that, put that on your lips.

It may feel like you've been buried, but God had intentions

to plant you. Yeah.

Jesus was planted in the wilderness to be tested, to be

proven. It's sprouting season.

It is sprouting season. And I'm here to tell you, man,

the manifestation of the new is not going to come in the new

car, a new husband, a new wife. It ain't going to come in

nothing monetary. It is going to show up first by

a spring of joy, a springing of joy, a springing of laughter.

But watch this even now for some of you, there is a weight

lifting up off of you. Let the Lord take it.

Let the Lord do it. Let the Lord have it.

Lift your hands where you are there that.

That's where it's manifesting first.

The promise is attracted to joy. The promise ain't going to bring

you joy. You're going to go in the

promised land dancing. You're going to go in the

promised land full of joy. You're going to go in the

promised land leaping. Come on in the name of Jesus,

break it Lord, break it, break it, break it, break it, break

the reoccurring anxiety today. I'm here to declare over your

life. Don't get used to breaks from

anxiety. Get used to anxiety being broken

from this day forward. No, no, no, Jesus say didn't die

for breaks from he died to break you through too.

So I don't want to break from depression.

Then in six weeks I'm depressed again.

So right now we speak, we pray, we declare the Breakers

anointing in this place, break the spirit of confusion now over

your mind. We break the power of Leviathan.

He comes. Leviathan comes to cause

confusion to to to fatigue your mind, to cause you to second

guess, to cause decision fatigue.

We break the grip of Leviathan. In the name of Jesus, peace come

sound mind come. No more double mindedness.

In the name of Jesus my mind is sharp because I have the mind of

Christ. Peace, peace will nest in my

soul because I have the mind of Christ.

No more second guessing yourself, no more whoever that's

for. No more second guessing

yourself. No more dialogues with your

giants side. It's a one way street.

I speak to my mountains. I don't conversate with my

mountains. Hallelujah.

Tell that mountain to move. That's what the Bible said,

didn't it? Tell that mountain to move.

Tell that. Watch this and the Bible told

you to tell it where to go. Don't just tell it to move, tell

it where to go. Tell that mountain.

Get out of my house. Get out of my children

confusion. Get out of my get out of my

life. Come on, get out now.

In the name of Jesus, get back into hell where you came from.

Tell it where to go. You got to get out of here

today. Tell those lies where to go.

You got to get out of here today.

Got to go find some pigs to get in.

But you can't stay here today. You're not welcome.

Somebody tell that thing you made agreement with you're no

longer welcome. Come on.

I need you to give. I need you.

And I need you to look at them with joy.

And I need you to find three people, give them a high 5 and

say the victory is yours. Come on.

The victory is yours. Come on.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

Come on. The victory is yours.

Come on. The victory is yours.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

Victory is mine. The victory is mine.

Come on, shout it out. The victory is mine.

Yes, yes. The victory is my household.

The victory is love. Questions.

The victory is ours. You don't matter what it looks

like. The victory is yours.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

The victory is yours. The victory is yours.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's own it.

Own it. Own it.

Own it. Own it.

You've been living in defeat too long.

You've been living underneath too long.

You've been living in inferiority too long.

The victory is mine. Stop letting insecurity stick

around some of you, even in your praise.

You're so passive. You're trying to be cute.

You're so bound. You can't lift your hands, You

can't open your mouth. Some of you open your mouth is

why does it take to smoke a cigarette?

Open your mouth wide with a voice of triumph and watch this

I am speaking as loud as those lies speak to you.

There's a sword in your mouth and you've condemned yourself

too long. You've cussed too long, you've

talking death too long. And you mean you can't take 5

minutes to open your mouth with some volume and speak what God

says? That's what David did.

That's the only way the giant came up.

And you? Think the giant fell because of

a little stone he had bronze Shields on.

David threw a rock. There was power coming out of

his mouth. You know, back in the day, I

don't know if it worked, but we used to.

Somebody would tell the dog sick them.

See, when we praise, it's like the Angel sick them.

Like speak to your mountain. It doesn't mean just mere words

are going to move the mountain. It means words are going to

activate the angelic host of God that is going to move the

mountain. Come on.

Why, Why, why, why? Why?

Watch this, Watch it. I get it, I get it, I get it.

But I really don't care. I got some revelation for you.

Why am I more passionate about your bondage?

Why? Why my mouth?

Why is my mouth wider than your mouth?

For your. Bondage.

This is Jesus. Why am I?

Why am I more excited to get on the cross for you than you are

to get up out your grave? How you going to let somebody be

more excited about your victory? Are you that depressed?

Are you that blind? Well, Pastor Tia, don't take all

that. Show me in the Bible where give

me give me two verses that say it.

Don't take all that and I'm going to give you a more than

100 verses. I'm going to give you 150 clips

from Psalms that tell you that noise works.

I'm I'm going to turn to the pages then in in second

Chronicles and show you how God said you got to show up to the

war, but I'm going to put a choir in front of the army now.

Then you show me your scriptures that say silence, silence,

silence moves mountain. Show me and some of you are

willing to take a break on your freedom because you're too

prideful or bound to open your mouth because you think that

that. Watch this.

You think noise is cultural. You think noise is cultural and

you didn't understand that noise is biblical.

Watch this. You make noise every day.

You just make the wrong noise. So clearly you don't got a

problem with noise, you got a problem with life.

Yeah, I'm going to get on now. I'm not going to watch this.

I ain't talking to nobody in here.

I'm talking to the spirits that some of y'all host watch this.

I don't get a chance. I don't get a chance.

I'm sweating because we don't preach next week.

We didn't do 9 this morning. So we ain't going to see you for

two more weeks. And some of y'all ain't going to

get in the word until two weeks from now.

And some of y'all might watch the word on YouTube, but that

pastor wasn't called to you. So the words that's coming out

of my mouth is for you to you, from God, for you to you.

Then we're going to leave. We're going to dip a couple

people in the water. Then we're going to have

marriage matters tonight, and then we're going to have Church

in the Wild next week. No, no, we ain't promoting right

now. But that's the dope flyer.

But we ain't promoting right now.

Take it down. Thank you.

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not manipulating you

emotionally. I'm doing what the Bible says.

See, the good news is that I had I I should have had my mouth

shut. The good news is the

resurrection. Open my mouth back up.

It's crazy. Watch this, watch this, watch

this. Kanye sold out two concerts in

LA 80,000. Some people promise you at least

50% of people was Christians. OK watch this.

Jay-Z sold out Yankee Stadium 3 days in a row within minutes.

Concert didn't came yet sold out.

And if you ever go to one of them concerts everybody shaking

and moving it don't even bother us.

Watch this we we will demonize the church for having excellence

and lights and cameras, But then we'll go to a Kanye concert.

We'll we'll go to don't don't look at me crazy because I know

y'all didn't been everybody in here that have been to some

concert with somebody that's ain't safe or struggling with

their salvation. So don't don't look at me funny.

Some of y'all listen to non Christian music all the time and

you sing along with it. Stop it.

Don't nobody in here work out the Hillsong.

Stop it. I'm.

Trying to help a few people in here watch this praise with save

a few wisdom sessions. You want to come run your mouth

for an hour and talk about your problems, but you don't want to

praise for 15 minutes. You know complaining is a noise.

OK. How many people complained in

the last week? Me exactly.

So everybody that raised their hand to complain, raise your

hand because you opened your mouth to complain.

Guess what you should be doing? Yeah.

You don't got a praise. You don't got a praise tongue

and a complainant tongue. So you can't do that.

It's one tongue, same tongue. James talked about that.

So we going to take two minutes. You can put it up on the clock.

Oh, you got 3 minutes. There we go.

You got 3 minutes. We'll use that 3 minutes.

And here is what we'll do. I'm done.

So if you don't have revelation of the power of your praise then

you could do it by faith. I'm not even telling you to

yell, but when I look around this room some of y'all jaws is

locked. You ain't letting no life

through and you're going to walk out of here and be mad because

you think God ain't helping you. He is.

He's giving you. I'm going to talk about this in

the next few weeks. Details.

Every promise is hidden in a detail, and some of us leave

details out of obedience. Noah would not have survived and

we would not be here if he didn't make that ark exactly how

God told him to. And so now God's given an

instruction because your problem is not lack.

Your problem is loyalty. Praise is biblical.

I can give you hundreds of scriptures that have volume in

them. Jericho famous stories Jesus if

you follow Jesus Bible talks about him turning around rejoice

it Jesus don't aren't these all Jesus followers in here?

Jesus followers or Christians? Dang yes Lord the praise moment

has passed. See, God sends people that stand

between him and you. But now he didn't say the moment

for breakthrough pass, but that moment has passed.

We still don't have 3 minutes for you to do what you want to

do with it. But let's not come after

Resurrection Sunday. My question to you and we'll

worship last week. Did you get up or did we just

talk about somebody that did? Did you get a revelation at

Easter? We're going to take 3 minutes

right in this moment, in this space, this vibe.

We're going to open our mouths. You can count that clock down,

and we're going to baptize the two people and we're going to go

home. But I will tell you, one of the

greatest weapons you have is your testimony and your praise,

and they both go together. Go right ahead.

Yeah, it's on you. It's on you.

This is your salvation. None.

Come on, one more minute. 4040 seconds. 40 seconds.

Come on, 20 more seconds, 20 more seconds.

Come on. In the name of Jesus.

Come on, shout out. It's up from here.

Come on, give God a big old shout out of praise.

Hallelujah. Really quickly.

Be seated. Some of you guys might laugh at

this, but in some cases is not a laughing matter because we got

to be very careful. We got to guard the pulpit and

you never know how people hear what they hear as well as

intentions. And so earlier when I was going

in or whatever, I think I said tweet or something.

Yeah, a couple T words. You, I don't know if you

remember that, but you might have heard it as something

provocative or something. I don't even really remember,

but I take responsibility. I was not talking about you.

You know, I got my Invisalign in too, so that messes with my

pronunciation sometime. But that's not what I was

saying. I was not.

If it offended anybody, I apologize.

You can ask my wife, you can ask my children.

I don't be cussing. I don't, I don't cuss.

So. But.

When things are just being shot out, you say tater tots and you

know somebody hear something else and so please forgive me if

it hits your ears if you didn't hear some of y'all might be like

what? What are you talking about?

That's fine too, but you'd be surprised what not only people

think they hear, but also what the enemy mountain magnifies out

of all that's being said. You hear something, you'd be

like, oh, pastor, did you hear all the other stuff that I said?

But that was not my intention. That's not what I was trying to

say or if it offended anybody. And if you don't know what I

said, awesome. Keep praying for me too.

I got a few more months for these Invisalign and we'll be

done. Is that cool?

All right. I want to make sure it's all all

good, Father. Thank you for quickening.

Our spirit, we pray for error, we pay, we don't want to offend

anyone. We don't want to mislead ever.

And we, as the word said, we can walk in power and humility.

And so, Lord, we thank you for power, we thank you for

humility, we thank you for your love that's present.

And for those that are going in the water, we thank you for

them. We thank you for when you got

up, we got up, and when you got up, you got up as us.

You didn't do nothing wrong to deserve death.

It was us. We're still still in.

Yet you died. But death could not hold.

You cannot declare over every person in this place that death

cannot hold you, anxiety cannot hold you, fear cannot hold you,

depression cannot hold you, sickness and disease cannot hold

you. So we speak to you and say, come

out of that grave now and leave your grave clothes in that

grave, for you will have no need of your grave clothes where God

is about to take you in Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's sermon.
