Count 'Em Up//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. Look at your neighbor and say

today is going to be one of those days.

I don't know what that day going to be, but it's one of those

days. It's one of those days.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for your spirit.

I thank you for the Spirit of revelation, the Spirit of

wisdom. Lord, open our minds like only

you can do. Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.

Open the eyes of my. I want to see.

Yeah, I want to see. Open the eyes.

Open the eyes of my heart. Open the eyes of my heart.

I want to see most friends. I want to see to see you how you

lived it up.

Shine in the light of you as we sing holy.

The holy, holy, holy, holy. Evil I want to see.

I. Want to see.

I want to see. I want to see.

I want to see. I want to say the last few weeks

we've been talking about the family that God intends, family

matters. Somebody say family matters.

We've talked about the blessing. We've talked about alignment.

We've talked about the ripple that our lives create rather

that is good or bad, life or death.

Because what happens in a home does not stop in that home.

Amen. But it ripples.

Somebody said it ripples. Faith ripples.

Honor ripples. Brokenness ripples.

Blessing ripples. And what we build today becomes

the story of our children's inheritance tomorrow.

And Scripture shows us this over and over again.

When a father walks with God, it shapes generations.

When a husband walks with God, it shapes a household.

When a home forgets God, the ripple moves the other

direction. Let's think about David.

We've mentioned David over the last few weeks and how his sin

rippled throughout generations. We also glanced at David as a

young man experiencing being underlooked and left in the

backfield, not invited to the party, but still God chose him.

Say God chose him, and I think a part of the enemy's plan to look

over you is to hopefully get you to look over yourself.

OK, One of the clearest examples of this ripple is David.

David was not perfect. David had failures.

David had messes. David had moments that damaged

his house. Watch this.

A lot of us relate to David more in his messiness than we do his

praise. I can relate to David's sin more

than I can relate to David's dance.

It really shouldn't be that way, but Scripture still says

something remarkable about David.

Watch this in First Samuel 1314. It says that David was a man

after God's own heart. Wait a minute.

This is the same man we've been reading about who send adultery.

Murder didn't protect his child Didn't didn't administer justice

for his daughter being raped and God saw fit to market in history

that David is a man after God's own heart.

And for us to overlook that is absolutely irresponsible.

To highlight his sin so that we can have a powerful man to

relate to but not highlight why he's a man after God's own heart

when he was one of the most sinful men to ever walk the

earth. Watch this you.

You don't just abandoned ministry call post, you then

sleep with one of your soldiers acquaintances, your homies wife,

then you kill him, then you marry her and you got tons of

wives. Bad bad bad bad bad man.

But still. And yet he's a man after God's

own heart. And here we are and we feel bad

about not giving somebody something or we feel bad about a

sin we've done. And sometimes the the guilt of

our sin will cause us to be stuck for years.

Here it is a man that God sought fit to say you're You're the

model. Even so, in history, Jesus,

watch this, he's not only the model, but he's the bloodline

that Jesus came through, had to come through.

Then you hear blind Bartimaeus, blind Bartimaeus say Jesus son

of David Wall. What if in history 2000 years

from now, people cried out to Jesus, said Jesus son of Troy?

How does Troy and Jesus go together, let alone as like a

godfather? Not Jesus, daddy or David, uncle

of David son of David? Because David had a reflex that

a lot of us don't have. When David sinned, he returned.

When David was overwhelmed, he worshipped.

When David faced battles, he remembered the faithfulness of

God. You see it all through the

Psalms. Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and

forget not all of his benefits. Forget not is the hardest part

we struggle with. Watch this.

Forget not is the warfare. David constantly remembered God,

and that remembrance turned, the remembrance turned in, the

remembrance turned into praise. Remembrance protects the ripple

because when a house remembers what God has done, gratitude

fills the home. Praise fills the home, faith

fills the home. But when remembrance disappears,

gratitude fades. Praise grows quiet and slowly

the story of God disappears from the house.

It's very important. The story of God disappears from

the house. How do you have so many people

say, yeah, I used to go to my Mama 10 years ago, 20 years ago,

I think my Auntie Nem went to church.

My great. How do a bloodline eventually

fade away from God? How are you, some of you, some

of the first people in your family?

I would guarantee 100% of the people in here, somebody in your

family way back when, followed God.

How does a bloodline drift? Luke 17 Then Jesus asked.

We're not ten of you clenched. We're not ten of you healed.

Where are the other nine? This is a question that still

echoes today. Where are the others?

10 experienced mercy. 10 received a miracle, but only one

returned to honor the one who did it. 10 experienced the power

of God. One return.

Over the last few weeks we have been building something

intentional in this house. We have been talking about

family blessing, generational alignment, and the kind of

culture Heaven intends to live inside of our home.

Because families do not drift into health.

You do not drift into health. Families tend to drift into

forgetfulness. Yeah, this is going to be one of

them days. We remember disappointments.

We remember let downs. We remember failures.

We remember persecution. We remember abandonment, but we

forget faithfulness. We remember abandonment.

We remember the rape. We remember Daddy wasn't there.

We remember poverty. But we forget the faithfulness

of God. And forgetfulness is dangerous.

God never asked us to erase the past.

God forbid anything bad happened in 2025.

You threw out the whole year because of a few things did not

go your way in one year. You threw out the whole year and

didn't take remembrance into 2026.

God never asked us to erase the past.

He invites us forward with our eyes on Him.

Watch this. But along the way, the Father

keeps on whispering. Remember my hand, remember my

heart, remember my love, remember my character, remember

my promises. Because when you remember who

God has been, you regain confidence in who He will be.

I hope you're tracking today. God is constantly saying just

keep your eyes fixed on me. Remember my hand.

Just if you, I know you're going to go through some things, but

even when you fall, Remember Me. Even when it hurts, Remember Me.

Because when you remember who I am, you will always remember who

I will be. Forgetfulness makes you think.

Watch this. Forgetfulness makes you think

you survive because you were strong.

Forgetfulness make you think the breakthrough came because you

were smart. Forgetfulness makes you

interpret mercy as normal. So today, before I ask, we ask

God for the next thing. We ask God to open the next

door. We ask God to do the the next

miracle, to give us the next promotion, to give us another

healing. Today we're going to do

something very holy and royal. Why holy and royal?

Because we are a holy nation, a royal priesthood.

What we're about to do today is holy and royal.

It's what royalty does. We are going to count them up.

We are going to count them up. We are going to this is holy and

royalty count them up. David is who he is because he

count them up. No matter how how many times he

fell, he counted the goodness of God, He counted the faithfulness

of God. He counted him up.

He didn't allow him. No matter where he was pressed,

no matter how dark it got. He counted up the blessing of

God. He counted up the faithfulness

of God. We're going to count him up.

Somebody shout out. Count him up.

What if I told you as our subtitle?

All you got to do is turn around.

All you got to do is turn around Something we're afraid to do.

What? We'll use.

We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll use.

Why is this name slipping my mind?

We'll, we'll use. What's the name's wife?

Oh, don't look back. Yeah, I heard you.

Thank you. Don't.

Don't look back. We're raised to not look.

And I remember a few months ago I was like, no, go through the

valley and look like when you go on the roller coaster.

I learned if I got to close my eyes, I'm not getting on the

roller coaster. The whole point is to see how

high I am. I need to see how scary it feels

and in the drop, I need to get all the adrenaline.

If you're going to go through the scary house at at Disneyland

or where at the carnival, don't go through the scary house with

your eyes closed. That's a waste of 15 minutes,

right? You can't get strong with your

eyes closed. He didn't say keep your eyes

closed. He says keep your eyes fixed on

me. Fixed on me.

All you got to do is turn around.

Somebody say turn around, turn around.

Because we're family matters. Praise matters.

Yeah, we're family matters. Praise matters.

So let's let's pause for a minute.

Let's pause for a minute. Don't you take just 30 seconds

to think. You know it it it would take

more than 30 seconds. But allow yourself to drift into

how good God has been. 30 seconds.

And if you can't find nothing, he woke you up this morning.

You can't find nothing else. He brought you here safely.

Can't find nothing else. You in a you in a, a semi warm

room, but it's warmer than some people who's still who's still

sitting on the corner. We we can go on and on.

Can you? Can you pause and think of all

the Lord has brought you through?

Can you think of all the Lord has done?

Can you pause all that He's brought you out of?

All He kept you from, all the prayers He answered, all the

doors He's opened, all the doors He closed that would have

destroyed you? Can you praise Him for the doors

He closed? Can you just pause and think for

a moment and thank him for the doors he closed?

This is holy and royal. The doors he closed that would

have destroyed you. How quick he snatched you out of

that situation and though it hurt and though though you you

needed closure, but if he had not, you'd be dead right now.

You'd be in, you'd be sick right now.

You'd be in the hospital right now.

Can you just pause? Instead of thinking of how bad

it was, think of how good he is and snatching you or keeping you

or protecting you. That storm didn't hit your

house. Here's a question for you.

What did God keep you from that you never even saw?

Come on, somebody say. Question, what did God keep you

from that you never even saw? We're so see and saw people.

We don't count what he didn't allow us to see.

What he didn't watch. This what he didn't allow us to

feel. You might have felt.

Pain from abandonment, but you didn't feel pain from getting

stabbed. You didn't get pain from chemo.

You didn't get pain from. There's levels to pain and

there's things that he has kept you from seeing, feeling,

experiencing. Can you just pause instead of

only counting what you saw in touch?

Can you thank him and count what he kept you from?

Because even if some of y'all saw it, you'd be drifting.

If you felt it, you would have gave up and that would have been

a testimony you passed on. Don't go over there because when

you go over there, no, when you went over there, that happened.

What did God keep? You from that you never saw

watch this? What accident never happened?

What? What?

Watch this. How many accidents have you

drove past that that you was minutes from?

What betrayal never reached you? What?

What disaster never formed because the hand of God

protected you? Are you with me this morning?

Some of the greatest miracles in your life are the disasters God

prevented from happening. Watch this miracles isn't just

what God took from you or off you.

It's also what He didn't allow to touch you, what He didn't

allow in your vicinity. I call it the Psalm 91 miracle.

Those that are hiding under the wing that the enemy can't even

get close to you. The enemy can't even sniff you,

the enemy can't even get a trace on you.

What about the things God kept out of your life versus what He

had to take out of your life? Watch this a lot.

Of the stuff that God had to save us from wasn't even stuff

God put in our life, it was stuff he took that we brought.

Somebody just say I'm. Grateful.

What's this question? What season should have broken

you? But you still here?

What? What season?

Can you look back and be like that?

Should have talk took me out, but I'm still here.

Some of y'all in here this morning and you ain't out the

season all the way. But you feel your life coming

back. You feel your strength coming

back. You feel your hope coming back.

You feel that temptation weakening in your life.

Yeah, you, you, you feel your strength coming back.

It's like the lame boy, it said as he went, he got strength.

I'm here to declare as you go day by day, God is going to give

you strength after strength after strength after strength.

Come on, give him some praise for it now in advance.

You. You.

Should have collapsed under the pressure.

You should have lost your mind. You should have walked away.

But God sustained you. God sustained you.

Come on. You should've.

You should've. You should've.

You should've pulled that trigger.

You should've sliced your wrist. You should have.

You were right there. You pulled the knife out.

You pulled the gun out. You went to the ledge.

You went to the bridge. You thought about driving off

the road, but God sustained you. You took the.

Pills, but they didn't work. God sustained you.

You drank the alcohol, but God sustained you.

You took the drugs, but God sustained you.

You've been grinding. You've been building.

You've been believing. You've been planning.

You've been faith thing forward. And when?

Life moves fast, it becomes easy to always just look forward.

The Life of. The Father is one that keeps

their eyes on Him, so we often think faith is all about

forward. But the Kingdom teaches

something different. The Kingdom teaches us that we

look forward with hope, but we look backwards with gratitude.

Come on, we we look. Forward with hope, we look

backwards with gratitude. Faith is forward, but faith does

not get strengthened without looking backwards.

We are not turning. Back today.

We are building a. Memorial today.

Noah. Didn't stay on the ark.

And then when he got. Off he just went back to

business. Moses didn't just cross the Red

Sea and when he got across the Red Sea, he just went back to

business. Joshua and the 12 tribes didn't

just cross the Jordan and just be about business.

Over and over and over. God tells us to do something

that will help us keep sanity. Pause and remember.

While Jesus was. On the way to Jerusalem, let's

unlock this. Let's unpack this.

While Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, he was passing along

the border between Samaria and Galilee.

As he entered a village, he was met by 10.

How many 10 lepers who stood at a distance, stood at a distance

really quickly. They stood at a distance because

in in Jewish culture and law, leprosy isolated people

socially, spiritually, and physically.

They had a skin disease. They had to stay distant from

the miracle worker. So 10.

Lepers drew as close as they could to Jesus, but they had to,

by law, stay at a distance. Say a distance.

Say his word reaches. Say his blood reaches.

What's this and they? Raised their voices and called

out Jesus. Master, have mercy on us.

When he saw them, he said to them, go and show yourselves to

the priests. Why?

It don't matter how far you feel from Jesus, when he gives an

instruction from distance, it's going to automatically bring you

closer to Him by way of word. Go and.

Show yourselves to the priest and as they went, as they went,

somebody just shout out as they went, as they went, as they

obeyed the word of God, as they kept going.

They were miraculously healed and made clean as they went.

Want you to see this? They were healed.

And made clean. When as they went one of them?

How many? How many?

How many of them was it one of? Them when?

He saw that he was healed when he noticed that something

changed. When he noticed that the blood

still worked. When he noticed that God kept

him. When he noticed God woke him up

this morning. When he noticed that God

protected him. When he noticed that God's grace

was there, not his not shame. When he noticed that God still

loved him, when he when he noticed God was faithful, he

turned back. He.

Saw that he was healed and he turned back and he didn't just

look back, he turned back glorifying and praising and

honoring God. Watch this with a loud voice.

With a loud voice, Somebody. Say with a loud voice.

With a loud voice. No, I was saying with a loud

voice. With a loud voice.

And I say it twice. There we go with a loud.

Voice. Watch this Watch this.

He says and he lay face downward at Jesus feet, which represents

he recognized authority, not just provision.

It wasn't just the God. Who did something for me?

It is the God who has all power in his hand.

Watch this. This is Jehovah Sabaoth.

This is the God who? Is hosting my healing in his

hand. He is hosting my breakthrough in

his hand. He is hosting my freedom in his

hand. Watch.

This he was a. Samaritan, you got to pay

attention. You just can't.

Oh, he was. This is not historical.

This is revelatory because sometimes outsiders recognize

grace faster than insiders. Some sometimes.

People that didn't come to church, don't go to church,

don't know Jesus, recognize that God did something different on

your life and you ain't even recognize something different on

your life. This was.

The outsider who returned. Then Jesus asked this question.

We're not ten of you cleansed. Wait a minute, I.

Just saw this, it's called Revelation.

When they were lepers. They were at a distance.

What I see here is him and Jesus talking and this is the healed

leper he like where are your other nine buddies?

OK OK some of y'all get that letter so hey Jesus have.

Mercy. God shouts back a word to him.

He goes as they go. They're healed.

He returns. Now.

Now he's sitting with. Jesus having a conversation with

Jesus. Now intimacy comes on the other

side of my breakthrough, right? Watch this.

Healing does not just make me feel better, it closes the gap

between me and Jesus. This is why the enemy wants you.

Stuck because you will always feel distant as long as you are

hosting illness. Watch this.

Where are the other 9? Was there no one found to

return? And to give thanks.

And praise to God, except this foreigner.

Where's the other 9? What's this?

Where's their praise? It's how I feel sometime when I

come to church. Where's your praise at?

Now his praise wasn't. Just just it said his praise was

what? You got nerves and sit there

and. Look at me like God only been

good to me. Or maybe I get the.

Revelation because when I saw I praised what you looking for.

Maybe the difference is is I paused, you didn't.

And sometimes a testimony. That's why I get up here and I'm

vulnerable and I, I, I'm transparent because I realize

where I've come from. I I.

Yeah, I've been in. I've.

Been behind bars before, I've womanized before, I've had a

foul mouth before, I've been rebellious before, but God.

So I can't sit here and look. At what he has brought me from

and sit here and try to be all cute.

Praise ain't cute baby. Because where he brought me from

was not cute. Except the foreigner.

Jesus said to him, Get up, get up and go on your way.

Your faith, your personal trust in me and your confidence.

This brother went from standing at a distance to sitting at his

feet. Your faith, your.

Personal man, there's so much to there.

Your personal trust in me and your confidence in God's power

has restored you to help somebody.

Say, restored you to help. I want you to.

I want. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Restored you to help. The miracle happened as they

went. The miracle happened as they

went. They obeyed before they saw the

manifestation. Before your family is restored,

before you are whole, there is an obedience that is available,

not required, available. There's an obedience available

for you. Healing.

Come on, somebody healing met them in motion.

Sometimes. We are waiting for God to move

before we move. 10. Experience the same miracle but

only came back. Can.

Experience the goodness of God, but only one saw it.

Watch this What? If I told you that one.

Of the greatest wars. In your family is a war against

remembrance. There's this you probably see.

It because it's all over social media.

They're they're, they're, they're trying to call people.

I'll just put it simple. They're trying to call people

stupid that don't have good memory, right?

There's all these little commercials that maybe it's just

my algorithm, I don't know. But they're just, it's primarily

this Asian guy that they're, they're, but they're selling

something, right? There's these, if you do 10

minutes a day on this, you will strengthen your memory, right?

There's this big movement on memory and memory loss.

And, and what's why there is memory loss.

You have a flabby brain. If you forget right away,

they'll, they'll sometimes say stuff like if you forget

somebody's name soon as you walk away, right?

The Bible even says if you look in the mirror and you walk away

and forget, right? If there's this thing about

memory that God gave us. But the enemy uses.

It's not that you don't. Remember you're.

Just allowing yourself. To remember what's not edifying

you what's. Not strengthening.

You, you pause and remember. Hurt, disappointment, the war

against remembrance. Watch this 10 men.

I can't get tired of this. 10 men were healed. 10 experienced

mercy, 10 received a miracle, but only one returned.

Honor was practiced by 1. Honor was.

Practiced by 1. Honor was practiced by how many?

One? The healing was given to 10, but

honor was practiced by one. What happened to their memory?

Luke, 1717. Says where are the other nine?

In other words, Jesus is saying what happened to their memory.

What? What did they?

Where are the other? 9 Watch this.

The enemy does not just fight your future, he fights your

memory of God's faithfulness. Watch this because memory fuels

faith. Am I talking to this side over

here? Memory fuels faith.

Somebody say memory fuels faith? Hallelujah, the enemy is.

After your memory he's after taking your mind he's at This is

why Jesus says fix your mind on me and I will give you perfect

peace. Why does God say I need my peace

to guard your mind? Why doesn't my mind?

Need Garrison? Why does my mind need a strong

fortress around it? And Jesus said I died to make

sure your mind was protected. Why?

Why is my mind so important? Because that's your soul.

Your soul is your thinker. Your filler, your chooser,

that's what he died for, so he protects it.

So watch. This whatever has.

Your mind has your soul. If the enemy can get you.

To forget what God did. He can get you to.

Question what God will do. If he can get you to.

Forget what God did, He can get you to question what God can do

He. Can get you to question.

God's ability because memory fuels faith.

Somebody say memory fuels faith question.

A lot of questions. Why questions make your memory?

Are you living like God is faithful?

No, Be honest with yourself. Are you?

Are you living? Like God is faithful.

Or living like. Everything depends on you.

Because when memory. Fades, Pressure increases, but

when remembrance rises, faith returns.

Today we reclaim. Come on, say that over your

safe. Itself.

Today I reclaim a remembrance. Come on, come on, just say about

3 to 5 things about God right now.

Come on, reclaim. He brought you out.

He, he kept me, He protected me. Come on, take like 1015 seconds

and just jog your memory real quick.

Tell yourself, encourage yourself.

He strengthened me when I didn't.

Even want strength. He loved me when I didn't even

want to be loved. He kept me when I didn't want to

be kept. I remember he paid and made and

paid. He fed me when I didn't have no

money. He kept up.

Yes, God bless me. Watch this.

The one who returned glorified God with a loud voice.

That's what the scriptures say, right?

He turned back. He glorified praise and honor

God with a what? Loud voice?

Somebody say a loud voice with a loud voice.

Yes, you got it, You got it. Gratitude.

Watch this. He praised Him with a loud

voice. Gratitude does not stay quiet

very long. Oh, watch.

This, this side you, you cannot keep quiet too long when you're

grateful. Watch this.

Gratitude. Don't whisper much.

Gratitude. Is watch this gratitude

sometimes comes off disrespectful to people's quiet

space. You're doing too much turn down

South. So for a house like this, we not

just loud because we loud, but I believe we loud because we got

some people aware of God's goodness.

Unashamed. Unashamed.

Unashamed of the gospel. Your gratitude does.

Not stay quiet very long. When you remember what God

brought you out of. When you remember the night you

cried yourself to sleep. When you remember the diagnosis

the doctor gave you. When you remember the financial

pressure. When you remember the addiction.

When you remember the moment your life could have gone

another direction. When you remember when you made

decisions in secret and God didn't allow you to be exposed

publicly, He just dealt with you in private.

When you remember even God kept a secret, all he asks you to do

is return God not trying to expose his children.

He always exposes you one-on-one.

You remember how he has kept you.

You cannot whisper the praise. You, you.

You can't. How how long you going?

You going to pass out if you Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. It is harder to whisper for a

long time than to just let it out.

Come on, somebody shout out. Count them.

Up. That that kind of praise.

Has volume. This is what we say and his

praise had volume. So much volume.

It got Jesus attention. It activated power.

The fervent, ineffectual prayers of the righteous make tremendous

power available. What did God deliver you from

question pause. What did God deliver you from

that you used to call normal? You was.

You was in your. You was.

In your saddle, you was you were settled in that you even know

you need deliverance from it because it was just normal.

It was watch this. It wasn't my fault I was born

like this. You just going to have to deal

with this and then all of a sudden one day what people used

to have to deal with, you ain't got to deal with no more.

If it's something I got to deal with, it's something you got to

deal with. You got to deal with it every

day I get to go home or I get to go to sleep and turn myself off

from you. What did God?

Deliver you. From that you used to call

normal. Look, look, look.

Look, some of you used to live in anxiety.

It was normal. Addiction.

It was normal, some of you. Used to live in cycles.

That almost destroyed your life. But look at you now.

Look at you. Look at you now.

Look at your neighbor. Say look at me now.

Look at me now. Watch this Watch this Watch

this. Watch this tell your neighbor if

you if I told you where I came from, you'd be scared to sit

next to me. Glad you didn't hear about my

old. Man first.

Yeah. Somebody say look at me now.

Somebody shout out. I'm still standing.

Yeah, you can shout. About that one, I'm still

standing. I'm still standing.

I'm still standing. I'm.

Still. I'm still.

Standing. I'm still.

Standing. Yeah, you can.

You can save that you. Can save that.

Come on, Bring it down. Bring it down.

Come on, come on. Have a seat.

Have a seat. I'm telling you, I'm still

standing. The enemy don't like that I'm

still standing. The.

None. Look at me now.

Look at me now. Look at me now, Look at me now.

Look at me now. Look at me now.

Look at me now. Look at me now.

When all 10, all 10, all ten were healed.

But the one who returned? You got to get this.

All ten were healed, but the one that returned was made whole.

No, we're going. We're going to look at this.

We're. Going to look at this.

We're going to look at this in the next experience too.

All ten were healed, but the one that returned was made whole.

Some of y'all. Think.

Jesus want to stop at healing? No, no, no, no.

The woman with the issue of blood was made whole.

Watch this. She returned because gratitude

unlocks deeper restoration. Watch this your.

Faith, your personal trust in me and your confidence in God's

power has restored you to health.

Get up and go. When Jesus?

Cleansed them. Their disease disappeared, their

exclusion ended and their life restarted.

All 10 received this Watch this. All 10 received the the Basic

package. You know how you can get the

basic? Package.

All 10 received this See, I'm the kind of person if you give

me the basic package like when you flare you got the basic

package or anything, They got the basic package, the value

packages in the most popular package, then you can get the

elite package, the supreme package.

I might not be able to afford afford it but I always want

everything if. It's available.

I want it. Somebody say if it's available,

I want it. This is the same thing with God.

Why are you just want your legs to heal?

But I'm going to deal with migraines.

Some of y'all in here you believe?

In for one thing to be better, and the same faith and the same

prayer is what it takes to believe God to heal all of this.

Heal all of. This.

Right, Lord, I don't want you. To just heal my knee, heal my

crazy, heal my crazy. Some of y'all got to heal me,

but you still crazy. No no no no.

Put the knee on pause. Get your mind back.

All 10. Received this.

All ten were cleansed, but cleansing was not the end of the

story. Watch this.

Salvation was not the end. The blood was not the end of the

you. You getting saved was not the

end of the story you find in a church home was not the end of

the story come on, it's not the end of the story this word right

here cleansed in the Greek meant they were ritually purified

that. It it is the healing.

That allowed them now to go closer to people they were.

They were ritually purified. Follow me.

He sees it. He saw the miracle of God.

He recognizes mercy, and he turns around, Say he turned

around. Because recognition triggered

remembrance, and praise always begins with recognition.

The praise that's. Exploding and ready to explode

in here is because we have had a few intentional moments to pause

and remember. One of them when he.

Saw that he was healed. Watch this this word healing.

This is talking about the one the first healing was talking

about the 10. This healing is talking about

the one one of them when he saw that he was healed.

Healing. This refers to physical

restoration. He was not just.

Ritually cleansed and purified, he was also restored physically.

Says when he. Saw he turned back watch this he

turned back and recognition triggered remembrance again

praise always begins with recognition verse 15 says one of

them when he saw that one of them who was.

Healed like the other. 9 But the one that saw and returned, he

was healed. Watch this.

This refers to physical restoration.

And then this other one. Sorry, this other one.

Let me backtrack. Going too fast.

He turned back. Can I start there?

He turned back one of them when he saw that he was healed.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is not run

faster to the next day. Sometimes all you got to do is

what? Turn around.

Somebody say turn around. Somebody say turn around.

Somebody say turn around. Somebody say turn around.

That's sometimes instead of instead of whoa, what's next?

All you got to do is pivot and. Just pause sometimes, be still

and know that. He is God.

That's what he's talking about. Be still, shut up, be still.

Maybe God is slowing you down in this season because He needs you

to remember before you go forward.

Why is it OK it's? How we teach our kids.

Wait a minute, you asking me for something else and you ain't

even took care of that? Finish what's on your plate.

You ain't even said thank you for me taking you over here now

you asked me to get you some V bucks.

There's some. There's some.

Grown people in here that know what V Bucks is and I, I don't

know, I'm going to pray for you after this.

Hey, man. Don't figure out.

What V bucks is later? Don't, don't, don't come on.

Stay focused. Stay focused.

Stay focused. Watch this.

Watch this. Ten were cleanse.

Ten were healed, but only one was made whole.

Only one was made whole. Only one return, and only one

was made whole. There, there, there.

There is a depth of healing and salvation in the life of

appraiser. Watch this, verse 19 says.

Your faith has made you well. What this means here is

wholeness, same word as Sozo salvation.

This means that your, your, your.

Your faith has made you. It saved you.

Your faith delivered you, restored you.

Watch this. And your faith has made you

whole. Your faith made you whole.

At first you all 10. Asked to be healed and he sent

them and said go on your way and as you went you were healed.

But then the one that returned experienced the salvation of the

Lord. Watch this.

God is still blessing non saved people.

But the ones who return? Home there's a different type of

blessing right, right, right. People are still blessed watch

you. You might not be saved, but that

wealth you got the Lord has permitted you to have and he is

using it for all things work together for his good.

What what get? Get that, get that.

But that person with the wealth don't got the same peace that

someone who returned home got. Right.

And so now you're. Within the tribe, when you're

within the fold, there's also still returning.

There's still returning. There's people in this room, you

say, stuck out there and wonder why other people are advancing.

Because maybe you're not returning.

Maybe you're not pausing. Maybe you're not paying

attention to all that God has done.

Gratitude brought him. Back to the presence of Jesus,

and the presence of Jesus gave him more than the miracle.

The presence gave him wholeness. 1 Bible repeatedly commands

God's people to remember because the moment people stop

remembering, we start drifting. It's no different.

You come to this church, you're exciting you like I know God

called me here. And then you start remembering

why he called you here. You stop forgetting why you came

here. You stop forgetting how good it

really is. And then you start drifting

because you stop remembering. You stop remembering how sweet

your wife is was. You stop forgetting how much

y'all was in love and you start and now.

We start trying to produce. Performance, but.

Performance. Never.

Got you here, God brought you here.

Psalm one O 3 says forget not any of his benefits.

Why is this in the Bible? Troy forget not any of his

benefits. Because watch this forgetfulness

is. Not just emotional state.

It is a posture of warfare. Forgetfulness is a posture in

scripture, God often instructs his people to mark his

faithfulness. Yes he does Joshua Ford watch

this powerful guys Joshua Ford they crossing over and he tells

Joshua each of you take up a stone on his shoulder according

to the number of tribes which is 12.

So watch this take a stone as you crossover the Jordan so that

this may be a sign among you. Watch this guy's very important

when your children ask you later what?

Do these stones mean? Mama.

Mama, what do these stones? Mean, daddy, what do these

stones mean? He said.

Grab these stones, have them, and later your children go see

them and they're going to ask you what they mean.

Build a remark memorial. So people, people are going to

Europe all the time and there's memorials and they come and get

here, they put the headphones on and they try to understand what

does this mean? And then when you ask that

question, it unlocks history. It unlocks the history of

faithfulness. Verse 7 says.

Then you shall say to them that the waters of the Jordan were

cut off. In other words, God provided for

us. What do these stones mean, Mama?

Well, back in the day when you was just a little baby, you

didn't have no knowledge of it. But we didn't even have no

money. You didn't even know the lights

was cut off. You didn't even know we have to

feed you this way. But God kept us.

The the heat was cut off, but God kept us.

What are these stones? What does this memorial mean?

What does this praise mean, Mama?

This praise means that your daddy almost lost his mind.

This praise mean that your daddy was a whore.

This, that, this, that. Yes, I didn't say it was a This

praise means that I almost lost my life.

I wanted to commit suicide. This praise, this stone means

that I was sick. The doctor diagnosed me with

cancer, but God healed me. This praise means this.

God healed me. God brought.

Me through God protected me. Mama, What do these stones mean?

So these stones shall become. A memorial for Israel forever.

Watch this guy's. Memorials mark the ground of

God's faithfulness. You can look at me scriptures on

your own time. It's all through the Bible.

But we overlooked this. We have worship nights.

But we don't have memorial days. Even Canada.

Have Remembrance Day question. If your trial asks you today,

your Co worker asks you today, what has God done in your

family? What would the testimony be?

Or would you have to think of something?

Do you live with a testimony on the tip of your tongue?

What stories would you tell? Would you know about the

miracles? Would they know about the

miracles? Would they know about the

prayers? Would they know about the nights

God came through? Better yet, what if you wouldn't

ask somebody else's child? Like if you just went behind my.

Back and asked my children. How have God kept your family?

Would my children be able to say how God has kept us based on

their parents planting those stones, not throwing them?

Because if we do not tell the story, watch this very

important, the next generation will never know the faithfulness

of God. You, you got to see that you got

to see this Lord you got you guys got to see this.

You guys got to see this. If we don't tell the story, if

we don't become a church who celebrates often if we don't

become a church who, who, who is excited about the goodness of

God despite what we're going through.

Watch this watch this. There's a generation that will

not know God. And if there's a generation that

don't know God, the world is. And I came to tell y'all.

I got this in my time but some of y'all are afraid to close the

chapter that's why you can't start the praise.

Do you know that you are a watch this?

What do I mean by that? Some of y'all hoping you get

back with him or her. You can't.

Start the praise on. How he brought you out because

you still there. Some of you are afraid that.

The sickness will come back. You can't start the praise

because you still think it might come back.

You're looking back in fear versus declaring, no, I'm out of

that. Like I'm, I'm not even the, I'm

not tethered to that anymore. No, no, no, no.

God can give me another man. God can give me a you can't.

You can't forgive somebody, so you can't start the praise.

You living in regret. So you can't start the praise.

But what if you chose? Today some.

Of you may struggle with drinking.

You can actually make a choice today and put a praise on it

today, like your praise can be your down payment on your

commitment to being sober. You you can actually make a.

Choice today and quote God. Don't wait for you to prove it.

He's already proof. Proof is in the blood, not the

pudding. It's in the blood.

And So what you got to understand the moment you make a

decisive decision in your heart, you can put a praise on it

today. You don't got to wait till till

you act right to put a praise on it.

That's what the blood has done today.

You can make a decision. I am done with that chapter.

I'm not even going to call them and tell them I'm done.

I'm just done. I'm not.

If they do call me, I'm not answering the phone to tell them

I'm done. I'm done and now I'm moving

forward and I'm going to put a praise on it today.

Because if you forgot. Deliverance, you drift back

towards slavery. Don't.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare play with what

God brought. Don't you get that foot out of

Egypt? Get that foot out of Egypt.

Get. That get that foot out of Egypt

because if you forget deliverance, you drift back

towards slavery. Here's the warning and I could

not leave today without giving it to you.

Some of you would have came back and got it, but some of you will

not. The warning.

Eventually. That entire generation died and

was buried. Watch this guy's super powerful.

Then another generation grew up that didn't know anything of God

or the work he had done in your life.

Was you raised in houses? Even with Christians who

complain more than they praised. Some of y'all watch pastors and.

Parents preach and then come home and be super negative and

now you inherited confusion. They didn't know anything.

Now, now for me, a part of me, I'm sorry, we could have left on

high praise 10 minutes ago, but then you would have left not

understanding that we can praise but if you don't understand why

you praising, there's a generation that actually you're

not just praising for yourself. There's a.

Generation that. Actually needs to know about the

goodness of God. It needs to echo from generation

to generation. And so if God put the warning in

the book, we need to read it. What miracle?

Have you slowly turned into expectation?

Like you just expect it to happen, but it's actually a

miracle? Like to have a church home, a

good one is a miracle, but you just expect you could just find

any good church home to to be loved is a miracle.

To watch this, to read the word in safety is a miracle.

But it's just normal to us, right?

What, what, what? What have you allowed to just

become normal? Watch this.

Instead of it being a miracle, now you're entitled to it.

Watch this, you can't be grateful.

For something you think you're entitled to?

You. You watch this, you ain't

supposed. To woke up this morning, but

it's. Just normal.

I see you. In the morning, there's.

Times, man, I'll go. Go to sleep or struggle morning

to sleep and I wake up the next morning, I'm like, whoa, I'm

still here because the thoughts that I was that was hitting my

head at night. I'm like.

No, like I, I. Could just go to sleep and not

wake up. There's many children who have

lost. Their parents that way, many

fathers, many who am. I one month year old can just.

Pass away, Who am I? You hear about unexpected stuff

all. That who am I?

Who are you to just think you supposed to wake up?

Yeah, you healthy, healthy people folks was like, what

happened to them? They were strong.

They just ran 10 miles. Who are you to just think you

supposed? To wake up so you supposed to

get another day you. Supposed to drive and.

No car hit you? Who?

Are you you? Supposed to go in the air and

fly all the miles and you supposed to land.

While some other families. Lost their Mama or lost their

children and then plane crashes. His baby's in there.

So who are you to think you owed another day?

See, when you you, you can't be thankful for one more day when

you think you owed one more day. See, I'm helpful hopefully

today. We are bringing our memory.

We are realigning our memory like you're not.

Old you're not. Old to drive from this church.

Drive back to Vancouver safe. I know you a good driver, clean

driving record but. But but not all.

Accidents happen because you don't know how to drive.

Somebody out there driving drunk?

Somebody driving blind, Somebody driving that shouldn't be

driving. Some of y'all serving today and

you. Got family on the way here.

Who are you that just think your family's supposed to pop in here

versus when you see them pull in the driveway you like?

Thank you. Jesus.

Hey, sweetie. Hey.

Hey, baby. That kind of attitude.

Towards life. Watch this and it's not fear.

I'm very mindful of how fragile life is.

Bible tells me that. Therefore, my awareness.

Of fragility allows me to be grateful, not from fear.

But from love, he loves me so. Much he invested another day in

me. So then how will I spend this

day? Because I realize it's a

blessing. I wish y'all was double dip and

stuff. Y'all double dip.

We going dip, dip. I'm sorry, but the next.

Experience we going to really bust open and praise is just

going to really happen in there. But you have anybody got

anything this morning? Come on.

I declare this over you. He turned around.

Love Quest. Some of us need to stop rushing

to the next thing and just turn around and look.

Somebody shout out, count them up.

As I'm declaring this over you just.

Think of one thing God has brought you through this year,

one thing He protected you from. Your response will be counting.

God protected you. God restored you.

I declare the favor of the Lord. Surrounds you like a shield.

Because you returned watch. This some people going to.
