He Is Written - 12.21. 2025 (12PM) - 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.

It's go time. Let's get into it.

Amen love quest family before Jesus was born he was written a

little play on words is we hear it is finished.

We've also heard it is written when Jesus is being tempted

before his ministry begins. The enemy tempts him three

significant times and Jesus answer every single time was for

it is written. Somebody say for it is written

one more time, say for it is written.

Those words is how Jesus overcame the devil.

It's very important it is written is all Jesus had to say

to get the devil off his back. He didn't have to cuss him out.

He didn't have to yell, watch this.

He didn't even lose his peace. He just spoke, he gave his mouth

to what had authority somebody say the word of God.

He is he was written. The Bible says in the beginning

was the in the beginning was the and the word was God and the

word was with God. In the beginning was the Word.

In the beginning means before Jesus was incarnated.

In the beginning was the Word. Christmas is not the beginning

of the story, it's the seal of the story.

Somebody say seal. Christmas is not a God, improv

or impromptu. It's promise executed.

In other words, God is not he did not see sin is like, oh

crap, I did not account for this.

Oh crap, we better do something about this sin has come to the

world. No, God is not impromptu.

He is not improving. He is executing a promise at the

birth of Jesus Christ from the books of Genesis and Malachi.

Scripture is not guessing if a king will come.

It is declaring and decreeing how, when, and why He must come.

He must come. He must watch this.

It's not He must come because we sinned.

He must come because he was written into our story before

sin even came. We'll see this later.

It wasn't like when man fail. God was like, oh son, look how

terrible they are. I guess you got to go down there

now. Our God does not react like we

react. He is not emotional like we are.

He is not in a rush like we. We see he's not in a rush with

Lazarus. We see he's not in a rush with

the children of Israel in Egypt. God is never in a rush.

So by the time man fell, God already paid.

Watch this. He would not have been able to

declare in Genesis. It is very good without first

taking account of the sin that man might get into.

How is he going to put a tree in front of us that would defile

us, but not count for the cost that we might eat from it?

So wherever there's a potential of sin, there's a payment for

it. So, so, so it is declaring and

decreeing how, when, and why he must come.

The Bible does not present Jesus as an idea or a possibility.

The Bible presents him as inevitability.

He is announced as fulfillment. I like to say it this way, the

full seal meant for yours and I salvation on earth as it is in

heaven. I like to play with words,

fulfillment, fulfillment. He sealed the deal, David says

in Psalm 40 verse 7. Then said I behold, I come in

Psalms 40:7

the volume of the book, it is written of me.

Watch this. This is David speaking.

Then said I behold, I come in the volume of the book, it is

written of me. By this point in Israel's

history, the Torah, the Law of Moses had already been written.

For those that don't know, the Torah, the Law of Moses first

five books of the Bible. Can anybody quote those?

What's the first five books of the Bible?

I'll give you one. Genesis, OK Exodus, Leviticus,

Numbers and Deuteronomy. The Torah watch this.

And Deuteronomy 17 tells us kings were required to write for

themselves. A copy of the law.

Deuteronomy says it this way. And when he sits on his royal

throne, he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a

book out of what is before the Levitical priest.

David writes this because watch this.

The volume of the book means the full scroll, the complete

record, the finished manuscript. Say finished.

One more time, say finished Scripture.

David understood and we should understand Scripture.

The word of God governs our identity, Our Calling and

kingship in God's Kingdom, authority flows from our

submission to what is written. Your your authority can your

authority in the Kingdom can only go as far as you are

submitted to the word of God. I don't have authority because

I'm a pastor. I don't have authority because

I'm ordained. I don't have authority because

it's where I'm from, who I know, how much money I have.

My authority in the Kingdom of God comes from my submission to

the word. Watch this, the word that is

written, not another word I need for my purpose.

My authority in the Kingdom comes from my submission to what

is written. It's very important.

So when David says in the volume of the book it is written of me,

he is acknowledging that his life and his kingship are

submitted to what God has already written.

I come to find out a lot of us believers don't have authority

that has been given to us because we are not submitted to

the authority that's been given to the word for us.

So you have a lot of people in this room right now.

You're trying to make your life work, not realizing there has

been an authority, a favor and empowerment and a grace by God

for you to walk in a life that has already been written for

you, right? You would think to the believer,

a part of why you got saved was not so you can have a guaranteed

end. It was so while you go through

you don't have to be lost. You can say all you want to.

I was once lost but now I'm found.

But you only found in the end but you still lost in the

process. When you going to be over lost

and you going to live found? Watch this 'cause you not found

until you also find you in him. If you still looking for you

that mean you ain't found him and if you ain't found him it

sounds like you still lost. David submitted his life to what

was written. Jesus fulfilled what was

written. David lived under the scroll.

Jesus was the scroll. That phrase volume of the book

in Hebrew means the full scroll, the complete record, and the

finished manuscript. Hebrews 10 says this.

Now this is Jesus speaking what David spoke.

Then I said, behold, here I am coming to do your will, O God,

to fulfill what is written of me in the volume of the book.

Wait, David said it. So he submitted to the word.

Jesus said it. Although he is the word, he also

has to, he don't get a pass because he is the Word.

He also still has to submit to the word.

So this gives me a key to the Kingdom that God has put put a

word in the Bible for me in every circumstance that I will

ever face and my victory is based on.

Do I submit to the word written? Some of us keep asking God's God

for a word. You have not yet submitted to

the word. I'm going to say it again.

I'm going to say it again. I'm going to say it again for

the cafe people back there talking.

I'm going to say it back there for, for, for the cafe folks.

Watch this, watch this, watch this.

You want God to send you a word and you have not yet submitted

to the word. Every rhyme of word is built off

of the logos word. What is logos?

The written word. So you're not honoring the

written word. You want to tweak it, remix it.

You want God to God to change it.

You want to paraphrase it. Now you need a word for what

you're going through today and you're like, God ain't talking.

You ain't listening, you're not listening.

Can you can you clean these off real quick?

This is I need some windshield wipers on new things.

Defrost something. Hey, man, watch this.

Watch this David spoke the word partially.

Jesus fulfilled the word completely.

David aligned. Jesus embodied.

Jesus wasn't sent to see what would happen, but Jesus was sent

to fulfill what was already written, right?

Watch this. Oh, this is just hitting my head

like a ton of bricks. The reason what makes us lost is

we're out of alignment from the word.

What makes us found is we are now realigned to the word.

So wherever your life is experiencing chaos, my question

is, are you aligned with the Word?

Right. Peace does not come without

alignment to the Word. Because watch this, even peace

has to submit to the Word. Holy Spirit has to submit to the

Word. The work of the Holy Ghost

cannot be done outside of the Word.

The Bible says the Holy Ghost only does what he hears the

Father say to do. Jesus.

The word says I only do what I see the Father doing.

And here we are praying to God, trying to give Him our word for

our circumstance, our desire and wonder why He ain't moving.

Because He is faithful to His word, not your desire.

You didn't listen to God before you got in that relationship.

Now you want Him to help the relationship.

So true, so true. It is so true.

It is. God is speaking today.

How many people are taking it serious?

How many people are just thinking this is a little cute

little Christmas message, not knowing God is speaking right

into your storm? Watch this.

And if he is not speaking to the storm that you think he should

speak to, maybe he's trying to redirect your attention.

Maybe he's telling you the storm you in ain't that important.

Or he's saying, if I get your focus over here, that storm will

diminish in your sight. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, what's the

binding? The binding of the book binding

keeps the pages together in Scripture.

To write is to establish covenant.

If God wrote it, it's done. Not only if God wrote it, but if

he moved mountains to get it to us what he wrote thousands of

years ago. Are you going to take it

serious? What book you know has made it

this far from that far away and and watch this the Bible is the

what wait, we don't talk about it right.

We be we be so enamored with with bestsellers.

You know your bestselling author, but no bestseller comes

close to the best selling book of all time.

Still the bestseller still put it in app form.

Still the bestseller most downloaded app mate.

Still so might I might might. This word has some some

validity, some some some some some some validity.

Might it be worth picking up right, you'll go somebody.

Oh, they sold 20,000 books in one day.

Oh, I got to I got to buy that book.

The Bible have free. The book that will help you the

most is free. Yeah.

It will help you the most. It is wisdom.

It is the person of wisdom. You're not just going to get

some wisdom. You are going to talk to wisdom

and wisdom going to talk back to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To write is to guarantee

fulfillment. This is why Jesus told the

enemy, for it is written. Watch this.

In other words, Jesus says no matter how hungry I am, no

matter what my assignment was, I have if the word don't work,

nothing gonna work. I would be careful with

idolizing what's working. And it ain't God.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be.

I'll be careful making my man or your man, you know, your your,

your peace and your joy. And oh, I just can't wait to

hear your voice. When's the last time you

couldn't wait to hear God's voice?

I can't wait to see you. When's the last time you was

hungry for God's presence? I can't wait to get off work on

Friday so we can hang out the whole weekend.

When's the last time you couldn't wait to get off work on

Friday so you can get ready for Sunday?

Be careful if that's working for you, because the longer it's

working for you, the harder the disappointment going to be.

I'm trying to help somebody on Christmas because this was

little baby Jesus came to do. Yeah, he's the guarantee work.

What was recorded in ink was sealed in flesh.

God does not write possibilities.

God writes promises. God doesn't write record, waste

ink, or waste his Holy Spirit on potential.

No, no, no, no, no. You sow, you reap.

God's word is sure for show, for show, for show.

That means sure. For those that didn't know, God

does not write intentions. God writes outcomes.

You do this, this will happen. Watch this.

He didn't say if you do this, I'll do this.

No, no, no. I already wrote it.

If you do this, that will happen.

Y'all dismissed that right there.

He didn't say if you do this, I'll do this.

He's done all he needs to do. He's already put it in motion.

He put the he put the apple tree in the apple seed.

If you sow the apple seed, guess what?

You're going to get the apple tree.

If you do this, you're going to get that because I made it for

that. I made it to produce.

If you're tied, guess what? I'm gonna open up a window, pour

you out of blessing. You ain't gonna have no room to

receive, right? So that might eliminate overtime

because all I got to do is sew and let the seed work overtime.

God got all the answers for you. But some of y'all steadily week

after week and some of your plans, your year's, your year's

plans, if you go look at your goals for 2026, it's all you

working. It's all what you want.

And then when it don't work, then you going to take your

little list to the altar. God, breathe on it.

No, no, no, no, but breathe. I'm not even breathing on it

because I didn't even say it. I'm not breathing on that.

No, no, no, I didn't call. I didn't.

I didn't say grave. I said Lazarus.

God knew who he needed to raise and who needed to stay dead.

So some of your disappointment is because God ain't calling out

resurrection to what you want to resurrect.

Yeah, but if you get God's word from the beginning, now he's

accountable to respond to what he said is going work ain't

working. Watch this.

Write it down. If it ain't working and God said

it, then it's working. You got that.

You got that. All, all the, all, the, all,

the, all the, all the Super smart people got that and the

and the smart people didn't get that.

I, the smart people need you to say it twice.

Super smart, get it the first time.

OK, watch this. If God said it and it ain't

working, that means it's still working.

You got that? OK, now if you're not super

smart or smart, this, that's another class.

OK, that's another class. Ask your neighbor for help.

I'm sure somebody on your Rd. got it.

Amen. God does not write intentions.

God writes outcomes. When God put something in

writing, He does not revise it, He does not delay it, or He does

not forget it. That was pretty straightforward.

That was pretty straightforward. Watch this.

How do I know this statement? How can I say this statement

with so much authority? Because I believe the Word.

Watch what the Word says. The grass Withers.

How many people seen grass withering?

The flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

Forever ever. Yes, this is what the words say.

So even while I'm waiting, I could feel fatigue.

But if I need help with waiting, I need hope with waiting.

I just go to the word and I submit to the Word, and I pray

the Word. Lord, I know this is not in my

timing, but your word says Your word never fails.

So I submit to your word. I ask you to reveal in me what

waiting is trying to produce out of me.

Lord God, if I'm waiting for healing, God, your Word says

that by your stripes I am the healed and not the sick, right?

If I'm waiting on finance, if I need need budgets meant.

Lord, you told me that my God shall supply all of my needs

according to see. He gave me a word so I could

just focus on him. Don't let 2026 be a year.

You're just so consumed by things.

Thanks. So so then the birth of Jesus

was not heaven's emotional reaction to humanity's sin and

chaos. Heaven wasn't like, oh crap, we

got to pull out Plan B. No, no, no, no.

On the 6th day he said it's very good. 7th day, he rested.

If, if he needed a Plan B, he would have just worked on the

7th day. But on the 6th day he was like,

I'm done. Watch this.

He wasn't done on the 6th day with the 6th day.

He was done on the 6th day with eternity.

My God, my God, my God. Look, He was done with your life

on the 6th day. Watch this.

Why are you struggling? Why are you so insecure?

Why you doubt so much? Yo, your life was already

written on the 6th day. Watch this.

And the creator of the heavens and earth looked at your life

and said it's very good. How many people in here can

right now say my life is very good, My marriage is very good.

My, my relationship with my kids is very good.

I'm not talking about life troubles.

We look, my family, the Richmonds, we got life stuff

happening, life gone life. But I can honestly say that my

life is actually very good, very good.

Like I have desires, but my stresses are diminishing.

My stresses have been losing power in 2025.

My marital stresses. My wife and I like for real, for

real. We not the pastor and we got

witnesses. Me and my wife's marriage.

Ain't this this cool thing at church.

No, no, no. When we've been apart for the

last year and some months because she's been in Calgary

and I'm here folks that I tell folks that they'd be like y'all

OK, man, if our marriage wasn't cool that that distance would

have really no, we might FaceTime 5 hours a day.

Watch this. You can't FaceTime 5 hours a day

if your marriage ain't very good, right?

Some of y'all even even even when your spouse downstairs, you

know you act like you didn't hear them.

We got spouses in here as soon as they spouse walk in the door

they go. I do not want to talk to you

right now. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.

Our marriage is very good, very good.

Life is life and and we still have have goals and desires and

we still working things out. But but very good does not mean

perfect. Very good means God's Word has

the last say at this address. That's a word right there.

What does it have to do with Christmas?

That's what baby Jesus was here for.

So you don't have to be struggling in your home.

The world is hard enough. Why I got to struggle at home.

That's why in February we starting off with a series

called Family Matters. Why I got to struggle at home.

Home should be the safest place. Home should produce the most

confidence. Home should be the most certain

place. No wife should ever have to

wonder, is her husband protecting her spiritually or

emotionally. No, Wife.

And I look back and I used to have to tell my wife, yeah, I'm

a I'm a grown a man. I don't cuss no more.

You know what I'm saying? So I got to say I got to, you

know what the a mean, right a dot, dot, right dot.

I'm a grown Amen. If you got to tell your wife,

you better respect me. If you got to tell her, that

ain't her problem, that's your problem, man.

I reminded my wife for five years.

I was over 21. I'm a grown Amen girl.

But I was coming home high while she was thinking about real life

and responsibility and I come home high and I got the nerves

to be mad at her because she messing my high up.

That's the worst one. Somebody messed your high up.

I didn't get high to get my high messed up.

I got high to stay high. But I don't smoke no more.

OK, some of y'all do. I don't smoke no more.

This is why I'm sharing it because some of y'all still be

smoking, OK right. And I had to realize.

I had to realize Jasmine. I was like, and I started

smoking when I was in the 10th grade.

I'm I'm 29 years old. How long you got to smoke?

Right. And and, and and I I miss my

mother-in-law, but I used to, she used to get on my nerves.

She could go on home, be with the Lord.

She used to get on my nerves, though.

She used to always, she used to be like, she used to come in my

house, right. Watch this.

It ain't your house. Could you pay the bills, right?

Watch this. Your house belongs to whoever

you submit to. So if the devil got your soul,

guess what, That's who your house belonged to.

And you ain't covering your family.

Watch this. It is written.

So her mom used to be like Terence.

They think you need rehab, son. So whenever she came over the

house, I used to stay upstairs as long as I could.

And then we became best friends in some of her latter days, we

used to watch the Voice together.

And even when she wasn't at the house, she would text me and

screenshot. Or we watch the playoffs

together, right? Watch this.

Our relationship changed because I grew up.

Some of y'all in laws is y'all in laws because you ain't grew

up yet. You didn't realize you've been

brought in your in laws life so they can see your

transformation. Hallelujah, right?

They might have met you, they might have met you a mess by the

time God done your in lives, lives is going to belong to

Jesus because they saw they saw the evidence, right?

And so, yeah, this is for whoever this is different than

the first experience. Everybody in the first

experience really knew Jesus and was saved.

I don't know what's going on in this service.

Hey, man, I'm not I'm I'm just joking around.

If you I have a sense of humor. If you haven't figured that one

out, man, I feel like I got, I know I only hug my wife, but

this little blonde hair I don't have look, I don't got blonde

hair. I'm sorry, guys.

Ladies, is this what it feel like when you wearing long

lashes? It'd be way.

It'd be way up, way up here. All right, all right, all right.

OK. OK.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. All right.

Hey, man, right, Jesus, baby Jesus came to restore our joy.

So laugh, some of you laugh. Watch this.

God is reminding us through the birth of Jesus that everything

he said he's still standing on, right?

Jesus's birth wasn't the start of salvation, it was the

fulfillment. He came that that, that crib

that that that cradle that that that that birth came to snatch

authority back. The Manger was not sentiment.

It is the Father's signature. It is the Father's statement to

his kids, saying everything I said.

I meant, I know we're in a world where people's words can change.

They waver, but God's word does not waver.

This is a part of our frustration with God is because

we're wavering, wondering why He won't.

So I'm frustrated because I can't get Him to go this way

with me. Right.

You ever dance with somebody that don't have rhythm, huh?

Amen. Yeah, the kids, all the kids

have rhythm in Jesus name. They still got a chance.

Some of the kids still got a chance.

Hallelujah. Parents, be proud of your kids.

They moving. Amen.

They moving, They moving. They moving for Jesus.

The Manger is not some cute nursery moment or illustration.

The Manger is a legal moment. It's it's almost like this elder

Brett. It's like at a wedding when the

bride and groom goes to the table to sign the covenant, that

that's kind of how the Manger was.

It was a moment where where the father put a ring on humanity

and said, I'm coming and while you're waiting, here's your

security deposit. It is God stepping into human

history and saying, I am not sending another prophet.

I am not extending another warning and I'm not delaying my

promise. I am not postponing my promise.

I am not revising my word. I am putting my word in flesh.

I'm stepping in the game myself. So when the Word stepped into

flesh and pitched his tent among us, there was 4 promises moved

from prophecy to possession prophecy to possession prophecy.

It's written to possession. It's mines.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Prophecy.

It's written. I said it, and I can't renege on

it. I can't take it back.

It's yours. Watch this.

It's God saying hold me to my word.

The Bible says, and I think it's Isaiah.

I forget where it is, but he says remind me of your merits

like God is waiting for you to remind him.

Not that he needs reminding, but there's a supernatural reminding

and download and importation when his children remind their

father of what he said about them and that's for them.

So when I'm coming at something, man, I've said by his stripes on

the healed and not the sick and I've had religious.

I'm talking about pastors like you can't say that, Elder Brett.

It's in the Word, see. So even some of the ways that

you may be attacked, you won't back down.

This is why the Bible says this. The enemy comes immediately for

the Word's sake, right? The what?

The enemy's attacking your life to see if you really believe or

not. I know we got a lot of bumper

sticker Christians in here, but the wages of war on your life is

coming for the word sake. The devil that can't do nothing

with your house, he can't do nothing with your car.

The devil can't do nothing with your marriage.

You can go ahead, get married. Go ahead, spend all the money

you want. The enemy is coming after the

word because if you don't have no word when storm comes, guess

what? Toss to and fro.

Watch this. We learned this last week with

peace. He can't take his salvation, so

he attacks your sanity. I wonder how many people in this

room take medication for their mental health.

And you never thought that God wants to free you from

prescription drugs? How do I know it's in His word?

He can actually heal you from it.

And maybe you're not on prescription drugs, but you're

on you, you, you own alcohol, you own cigarettes, nicotine,

you own porn, you own you, you own Instagram.

Oh, that's not a drug. Absolutely it is.

That's why when you put it down and close it, you think somebody

called you and you pick the phone back up, open the screen,

put the code in, close it, put it back down. 5 minutes go by,

you think somebody called you and you think your algorithm

changed and you just go and refresh it.

We just went to Vegas for our son and what we walk in.

I mean, you can't man you, you go to the Funeral Home, it's

going to be a it's going to be a casino in the Funeral Home in

Las Vegas. And no matter it's folks is you

willing to gamble to sit in cigarette smoke.

It was one lady I was with my son at the airport and one lady

had her two kids out outside the glass while she went inside the

glass to smoke and her babies was standing outside crying like

she was just in the zoo exhibit or something.

I'm talking to some people here because you, you here it is

again, another Christmas and you trying to you going shopping to

keep people happy with you codependency.

Then God say, Hey, sow into the remnant project.

You're like, no, I got to get these get these toys.

I got to get this. Oh man, what if God is giving

you a project to sow you out of poverty?

So for one year I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no kids.

You, you might, you, you might get, you know, I bought, bought

my buddy a little remote control yesterday to, to play his game.

And I was like, that's a Christmas present.

Every, everything today. If we go out to A&W today,

that's for Christmas, everything for Christmas, bringing you to

church today. You know this for Christmas,

Hallelujah. This is a Christmas trip.

Everything for Christmas. Everything.

Don't ask me to cook. That'll be a Christmas present

for sure. Amen.

Amen. I got to slow down while I'm

talking. Amen.

No, no, no, no. But when are we going to to let

watch this? You don't make a sacrifice like

that without hearing from God. So we're not just sewing into

the remnant for our family and skipping out on presents.

We're also breaking tradition that was set by man.

You can't tell me we ain't good parents.

We we take care of our kids and buy them stuff every single day.

And then all of a sudden we about to just put the icing on

the cake in December. You crazy, no family kids.

We about to walk to this altar and we going to sow a seed and

build God's house. So when you dead and gone, your

legacy will be in this community.

You're about to change lives through your seed.

Just one, just want you go ahead, clap.

Go ahead, clap. And yeah, just, just you can

consider that we're going to have opportunities to give the

rest of the year. And on New Year's Eve, we're

going to give a big seed before we cross into the new year.

No, no, no. We're going to make a sacrifice.

The amount of finances it takes to walk into this building is in

this room. If everybody January 2nd brought

all their Christmas shopping receipts, we'll probably see.

Dang, we could have actually put that in the ground and watched

in 2026. God, flip it and reverse it and

multiply it. We're not talking about giving

seed away. We're talking about giving

something sacrificial that is going to explode.

You can't just declare bumper crop.

You can't just declare overflow. You got to sow into overflow.

And it's got to be with joy, but also sometimes blindly.

So when we're looking at these promises, Jesus made it possible

for a harvest without Jesus. I don't care how much you sow

watch this baby. Jesus was God's seed into the

earth, and the harvest was all of us for the rest.

Watch this you want to talk about multiplication.

God sold one son. How many churches is all over

this world from one son? So if you want to talk about it

is written before these years out.

Try God and not just sow seed of your, of your, of your treasure,

but maybe you make a commitment. In 2026, I'm going to serve

God's church like I've never served before, but I am going to

dedicate my life to becoming better and advancing the

Kingdom. Yeah, decisions need to be made

#1 the promise of presence was sealed with the birth of Jesus

#2 the promise of redemption was sealed, salvation became

inevitable, and #3 the promise of authority was sealed.

We got the keys back. So when the enemy is attacking

my household, guess what I got? I got keys.

I got keys. This is how you keep your peace.

Use your keys. I'm going to say that one more

time. This is how you use yo.

You know how you say the kid? Use your words.

I'm here to tell you, Saints, use your keys and use the word.

Not your words, the word. Come on, use your keys.

They work. They work for sickness.

They work for poverty. They work for anxiety.

They work for depression. They work for broken marriages.

They work for lost children. They work.

They work promise of authority and how many did I say 4 #4 is

the promise of You'll find out at the end of this message.

Number one, the promise of presence.

Watch this. He is here right now.

Who's here? The King.

Watch this. Ask yourself right now.

I asked this question before all of you in the tent, all of you

in here, ask yourself if God himself, if Jesus himself, Jesus

himself was sitting next to you, how would you act?

That's a very deep question. I want you to.

And some of you are thinking like, man, if Jesus was here,

I'd probably sit up a little more and I probably shall take

notes. If Jesus was here, I'd be on

time because Jesus is here. So what you're saying is he's

not here now. Oh, how would I talk to my

neighbor? How would I check my thoughts if

Jesus like if Jesus was sitting next to you, you'll be like, oh,

no, right. So, so my question to you, you

see how far we've come to think and act like he's not here when

he's here through the spoken word, He's here through the

person next to you. He woke up this morning.

There's testimonies around you. That's him.

The word is being spoken, that's him.

Songs are being sang. That's him, right?

Safety is here, That's him. His presence is here, right?

For some of you, if Jesus was sitting next to you, would you

fall asleep where Michael at? If Jesus was in the meeting with

you, would you watch football, right.

You see how much we've allowed our humanity to become so

desensitized to His presence? And you wonder why He seems so

far from you when you're in trouble.

But for those that know and those that don't know, the

promise of his presence has been sealed.

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign.

Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall

conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name.

What shouted out? God with us, God with us.

Watch this now. I don't get it perfect every

time, but I get it more right than I than I used to.

And every year I get better. I treat my wife like I know

that's God's daughter, right. If if you if you really believe

that your wife is God's daughter, how would you handle

her? How would you talk to her?

I can't just cuss her. I can't just now I realize that

God has blessed me with her. He's also in the marriage.

So I got to watch how I talk to the to the King's daughter.

You don't just talk to royalty like that, right?

You come to church and then you're like, I'm going to be

nice to my spouse. Wait a minute.

But God's at your house. So.

Oh, you Revere us more than you Revere him.

Oh, crap. You've made the building an

idol. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fellas, that's your daughter that you're not paying attention

to. That's your daughter you won't

sleep with. That's his daughter you won't

sleep with in the in the covenant of marriage.

OK. That that that's his daughter.

And women, that's his son. You're not honoring him because

he gets it right. You're honoring him because

that's the Prince, That's the King's.

That's the King's son. So I'm not, I'm not speaking

life into you because I want to all the time or I feel like it

all the time, but I'm speaking life into you because God lives

in you, right? If God says that my wife's body

is his, how would I treat her body?

That's why he says speak to her with the word, build her up with

the word. But ain't it crazy when we're in

a storm, we get frustrated because they see me ain't here?

But let me ask you this. Do you act like God is here or

your life is your own and you could do what you want and talk

how you want to? Like like, like, like God.

He's locational. He's just at the church

building. You ever try to hide and forget

God's there right you When I, you know, when I was younger and

I and I had a little smoking habit, whenever we drove past

the church, we put the weed down and we turn the music down

because that's God's house right there.

Can't let God see us smoking. That's where Jesus live.

Yeah, he don't live in US. So what you say from.

So if God don't live in you, let me ask you a real serious

question. If God don't have your body, who

do? Hello.

Who lives in there? You're a vessel.

So who lives in there? So while you out listening to

Jingle Bells and you had all these farms and festivals and

whatever you had as Christians, you carry the real presents

while some of y'all take y'all kids to take pictures with Santa

Claus, right? You see how happy you make it?

You, you, you approach Santa. We're going to see Santa Claus

on your way to church this morning.

Did you say we're on our way to Jesus house?

You got to see Jesus there and then they're going to say, Mama,

where's Jesus at? Well, you see Carolyn, that's a

work of Jesus. You see Noel, that's you see

that person smiling right there, that's Jesus.

You see people living, That's Jesus.

You see how we got here safe? That's Jesus.

And you start pointing to your kids that God is all around us

and he's alive. He's not dead.

Santa Claus is not the gift giver.

Jesus is. Right.

Santa Claus only came down the chimney.

Jesus came from sitting at the right hand with God.

And he brought me healing. He healed my disease.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. I ate them cookies last night.

And then you left them to Santa Claus.

They ate them. I bought them cookies.

I ate them cookies. I dipped them in milk.

I dipped them with me. I'm the Cookie Monster.

Hallelujah. I'm sorry, parents.

Now you got to go home. See, that's why we got SSK.

Your kids not in here. Amen.

Some of y'all is. That's all you.

I'm telling the truth. I don't know what you're doing.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Right in the word. In the word.

We only got a few minutes. Y'all play too much.

This is a funny crowd. This is a funny crowd.

I couldn't crack jokes. Last experience.

They were serious, remember? They were they were really

saved. And you guys, you guys aren't?

And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us.

Before Jesus, God just visited. But with Jesus, God moved in.

There was a veil between US and God.

And when Jesus came that day was ending.

God did not send help, He came himself.

Emmanuel is not potential. He is proximity right.

I talked about it in the first experience of our potential.

We love us some potential, but God's word is not potential.

It's near it's in us. It is the one who was is it is

to come. He is presence was sealed.

Somebody say sealed. We see this in Hebrews 13.

For he, God himself has said, I will not in any way fail you,

nor give you up, nor leave you without support.

I will not, I will not. I will not in any degree leave

you helpless, nor forsake nor let you down.

Relax my hold on you. I will not even relax my grip on

you, son. Like, like, I don't care how

hard the wind is blowing. My grip remains tight.

No, Nothing can pluck you out of my hand, son.

Out of my hand, daughter. No bad news.

No bad reports, no diagnosis. Nothing can snatch you out of my

grip. See.

Watch this. My submitting to this is what

gives me peace in the storm, not me.

I don't need the storm to go away, I just need to invite the

word in the boat. Am I talking to anybody in here

today? Watch this number 2 is the

promise of redemption. Man, I am so excited to be

saved. Man, those that don't, those

that ain't saved, let me tell you, being saved by Jesus Christ

is the most wonderful thing that you could ever have.

And those that are saved but haven't experienced salvation,

I'm telling you what are you waiting for?

Watch this. You 2 saved to be as grumpy as

you are. How you're grumpy.

I weigh you saved some of y'all tell your spouse, smile, tell

your neighbor, smile. You're too serious.

If I got to get to Jesus through you, I don't want him like you

when you saved by the way, the truth and the life and you don't

even look like I could come say something to you.

I got that joy, joy, joy, joy, joy.

OK, Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

They ready. They ready.

The cross enforced what heaven already decided.

The cross enforced what heaven. I want to get to this.

I want to get to this. Watch this.

Watch this. This is going to bless a lot of

people. This is going to bless a lot of

people right now. And some people may have not

even see. I know for a fact you haven't

seen this in the world. Watch this, JT.

Watch this. Watch this.

Watch this. Watch this.

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beasts.

All whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of

life. Watch this.

The Lamb who was slain from the creation or the foundation of

the world. Wait a minute.

So it was not very good without taking an account for man's

fall. To say it was very good means he

considered not just creation, but the fall of it.

It was good because payment had been made before a fall ever

occurred. OK, OK, OK, OK.

How, what have you got arrested one day?

And then and then somebody you you went, you went to court and

then they they said that'll be 10 years.

And we're setting the bell at $3,000,000.

And then somebody stood up in the court and said or the judge

said, but someone's already paid for it.

So instead of going in and getting locked up, they released

me right in the courtroom because it's already been paid

for. So watch this.

Sometimes you'll change, stay on longer because you don't know

they've been paid for. So some of y'all is bound

because you didn't know that you've already been freed.

Watch this. Before you was ever born, before

you committed one sin, it was paid for.

Somebody shout out, paid for. Watch this.

So This is why God can say when you come to me, come to the

throne boldly like it's been paid for.

Not with guilt and shame, not with regret, but man, my sin has

been paid for. Watch this.

And I don't want to sin no more because it's been paid for.

I'm not going to take advantage. I'm not going to be entitled.

It's been paid for. So guess what?

If you do something crazy tomorrow, guess what paid for?

So the enemy got some of y'all with all this guilt, all this

shame, not knowing it's been paid for and you're going to go

pay for another book because you didn't know what you read in

that book for it's been paid for.

You're going to go to that seminar because you need

somebody who got 30 million followers who seem to be

certified. You think their verification or

they blue check means that they got the recipe to your success,

but they don't before before Oprah.

Guess what, not just my sin, but Oprah sins was painful.

Wait, watch this Oprah need my God.

Why is Tony Tony Robbins? He need my God.

No, no, no, been paid for. I'm not getting married.

I'm not going to get married to a girl because I got low worth.

No, no, no, even if I'm struggling in my life, you don't

deserve for what's been paid for.

Like like, like maybe I'm not the version God said that I'm

supposed to be or I'm going to be, but I'm making my choices on

who I give my heart to based on who God says I am, not based on

where I'm at. Somebody say pay for.

Look at this. Before the foundations of the

world, a lamb was slain. Watch it.

Before Mary held the promise in her belly, heaven already

weighed the cost. Before Mary had a crib, Jesus

had a cross. The blood of Jesus wasn't God

reacting to sin, it was God's original intent to seal his

love. Premeditated sacrifice.

This was already in the plan. Watch this.

It's almost like God made his plans for our life and he was

like, just in case I'm going to I'm going to assure the reason

is very good is because you can't mess God's plan up.

Can I talk to me? That's the good news.

Renting out here in people's lives and telling them how sick.

Guess what? The the, the, the, the person

who's struggling with sexuality. What if you went and told him,

look, look, look, look, look, only person.

I can't change you. I can't change your mind.

I can't change how you was born. But guess what?

It's been paid for that that is not letting people off the hook.

But what the good news says is while you're while you're

working it out, it's been paid for.

So heaven and earth can help. We can work together.

It's a covenant happening here. It's been paid for.

The only reason is, is, is is very good is because it's all

been accounted for. Mary carried the beginning and

the end in her womb. The peace settled in eternity

was unveiled in a stable in Bethlehem.

I love word play there. Peace.

It was settled in eternity and was unveiled in a stable.

Those two words, if you're not settled and you're not stable,

you don't have peace. Peace comes to settle you and to

stabilize you. Some of you are one bad piece,

bad news away from losing it. One phone call, watch this one

more rejection, somebody cuss at you one more time.

Spouse, don't do what they say they going to do one more time

and watch this. You know Jesus and you, you got

saved, but you leaving peace on the table every day.

Soon as you wake up, boom, turn over.

Bah, watch this. And then your algorithm adjusts

to what you stayed on too long, and now you get very many

variations of the types of stories.

Then you share them. And before peace can ever get

its roots in your soul for the day, you've given it away.

And you think that at 2:00 when you angry, upset, or somebody

got on your nerves, you never set your nerves in God's peace.

So at 2:00 PM somebody says something crazy and you let it

get you offended. And you like what?

No, that wasn't they fault. You did not guard your heart by

rooting your soul in peace. Leave you here.

Hell didn't lose at the cross. It lost at the crib.

It lost at the crib all my all my all my ghetto folks.

You you get the double meaning right there.

You live at the crib after we watch football at the crib.

But if you understand Jesus crib, the cradle the the Manger

right. Hell did not lose.

We wasn't waiting. No, no.

At the cross it was final, but at the Manger, it had already

turned around. Hell did not lose at the cross.

It lost at the crib. And I'm saying that for you,

too, Carolyn. Adam.

Right, Judah? Right.

Likely like when you were born, the whole bloodline changed and

that's what the enemy's been frightened all your life to not

let you grab a hold of that. Whatever deficiencies your

bloodline was experiencing before your birth, when you was

born, God had a plan to turn the the trajectory around.

I know now I was acting a fool because I didn't understand the

interruption. I was.

And by my mere birth, the moment I came out of my mama's womb,

there's a song that I wrote and the start of the verse says slid

out my mama's womb. Like, yeah, made a couple bad

move, but that blood set me free.

Watch this, watch this, watch this.

But I just started the verse off like that because I'm in.

I'm I, yeah, I slid out like, yeah, like, like, like there was

so much free. Like my, my, my, my entrance

into the world was not just a baby boy, it was somebody coming

to Canada to impact people's lives right when I when I slid

out the womb, I was the end of divorce in my bloodline.

I don't know, but you, you got to pick.

When you slid out the womb, poverty ended with you.

When you slid out the womb, you was a first generation.

Come on, somebody I know JT. When you slid out the womb, God

did something in your bloodline. I don't know who I'm talking to,

Lily. When you slid out the womb,

watch you was the you was the interruption to addiction.

You was the interruption to mental illness.

You was the interruption. I don't care what jacked up

family you was born into, God just needed you to slide out the

woe. Because watch this.

If you understood that you was the interruption to your messy

family, you probably will rejoice over over being so

discouraged. The change that you looking for

in your family is in you. What's this?

And this is how you got why you got to be careful who you

partner with because they can be the interruption to your

interruption. Why is this too late?

You can't change your mind now, but I'm just telling you right?

They they can be the youth, they can be the interruption that

business partner can be the interruption to the plans God

has for your business. The moment I got that

revelation, I pinned that slid out my mama's womb.

Like, yeah, the interruption. My dad wasn't in my life when I

slid out my mama's womb. Like, yeah, my kids got a

present father, right? No, no, no more drug dealing in

my bloodline. Watch this.

No more fatherless homes in my bloodline.

No more addiction in my bloodline.

Yeah. Yeah.

No, no more mental illness in my bloodline.

No, no more domestic violence in my bloodline.

Watch this. No more abortions in my

bloodline. Come on.

The spirit of death is broken in my bloodline.

I shall live a long life in my bloodline.

Come on, open your mouth. What have you interrupted in

your bloodline? What have you interrupted in

your bloodline? Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

The interruption to death. The interruption, The disease,

The interruption. Come on.

It's OK to get excited. Watch this.

Watch this. The interruption to no sense of

humor. What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The interruption to no joy.

You ever walked in the mall and seen whole families with no joy?

The interruption to hopelessness in my bloodline?

Come on, lift your hands and open your mouth.

I'm declaring what's been interrupted.

I know who I am. Do you know who you are?

Declare it. What does God say about you?

What does God say about your bloodline?

The interruption to insecurity. The interruption to sabotage.

The interruption to poor decision making.

The interruption to worshipping idols for some of you, the

interruption to witchcraft. The interruption to voodoo.

The interruption to failed marriages, the interruption to

isolation. Some of you have parents who are

in their old age and they're just by themselves, no friends

because they burn every bridge. You are they everything.

They have no life. If you're not careful, your life

will end the same. Cherish the relationships you

have. Wake up.

You're the interruption. And what does God put you in

this earth and specifically in your bloodline to interrupt?

Watch this. Whatever you have the

interruption for, you are anointed to break it through in

other people's lives. You got to conquer it for

yourself before you cast it out of somebody else.

So lift your hands in this room right now and all my prayer

warriors begin to pray. This is bloodline prayer.

It's the interruption, it's the interruption.

It's the interruption. It's interrupted, it's

interrupted. It's been signed, sealed and

delivered. It's interrupted.

It's interrupted, it's interrupting, It's interrupting,

it's interrupting, it's interrupting, it's interrupting,

it's interrupting, It's interrupting, It's interrupting,

it's interrupting, it's interrupting.

It's, it's interrupting. It's interrupting, it's

interrupting. It's interrupting.

It's interrupting, it's interrupting, it's interrupting,

it's interrupting, it's interrupting, it's interrupting,

it's interrupting, It's interrupting.

It's interrupting, it's interrupting, it's interrupting.

It's why they attack in 2025 has been what it is.

The devil is mad as hell because his plan has been interrupted.

It's interrupted. It's interrupted.

I dare you to begin to praise God for what you believe to be

interrupted in your bloodline. Codependency is interrupted.

It's interrupted. It's interrupted.

Come on, 60 more seconds. Open your mouth.

Interrupt your thoughts with the word.

It's interrupted. Yeah, I'm talking about never,

ever, ever, ever again. Will your bloodline see

addiction? It's interrupted.

It's interrupted. Come on, lift your hands one

more last time. It is interrupted over your

life. That that generational anxiety

and depression. It's interrupted.

Watch this. That generational overthinking.

Overthinking, stuck between two decisions all the time.

No clarity. It's interrupted in the name of

Jesus. 2026 will be your clearest year you've ever had in

your life. You will move with precision.

You will move with certainty. In 2026, For some of you,

voicelessness. You don't know your voice, so

you just say what everybody else say.

You're used to culturally, your voice not having value because

it's male dominant or it's female dominant or no, no, no,

no. I'm telling you, ladies, and I'm

telling you, man, that your voice belongs to God and as long

as your voice is bringing God honor and your voice is obeying

God, don't let nobody shut your mouth because they don't know

you might be the donkey they don't want to listen to, but

you, the donkey that's going to save their life.

They don't realize you are an interruption in their life.

And so don't you never ever sell yourself short.

Sometimes your voice needs to be be heard by saying no.

Watch this. Sometimes people don't need to

hear your voice because God is shutting it up from them because

they don't value your voice. I remember the day I had to

really understand that the Holy Ghost talks to my wife about

some things he don't talk to me about.

And the way he talked to me about them is, talk to her.

Not in the Kingdom of God. We are to submit to one another.

I don't care what your culture has put in place.

If it ain't written, then how can you keep living by it?

It will watch this. Whatever's not written is going

to end in destruction because the only thing that will be

standing in the end is the word of God.

So if you're running your house off a tradition in fear, then

your house will fall. And guess what?

Unfortunately, your kids will be victim of your disobedience.

But I declare today that you are not the cause of your family's

fall, but you are the the cause of your family's rise because

you an interruption in your bloodline.

The cycles stop with you in Jesus name.

Come on, say the cycles end with me, destruction ends with me

Come on disobedience ends with me in the name of Jesus.

One last time shout out I'm the interruption because Jesus

interrupted for me. Give your neighbor a high 5 and

say hey praise God with me for 30 seconds.
