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.
-
We crown you king of glory. Come on, somebody say we crown
-
you king of glory. Now I just need to check
-
something really quick. Is, is, is the people that's
-
here today like alive or just kind of your blood is running.
-
OK, We got 10 people that's alive then.
-
And then I'm going to just take it.
-
You some you gave me the Canadian smile.
-
That means you're alive. You just don't, you're just not
-
that expressive. You just like and that's fine.
-
That's OK. That's OK.
-
But I will, I will tell a few people like the old Saints used
-
to say, don't wait till the battle's over shout now, right?
-
And I'm sorry. I want to apologize now because
-
I, I will not stop doing what I'm about to apologize for.
-
But I'm apologizing for, you know, always challenging people
-
to be aware of the shout that's in them.
-
I don't care how you was raised, I don't care what nationality
-
you are, what culture you are, what ethnicity you are.
-
Jesus did not make quiet people. Sorry.
-
No one that goes to hell and then pops back up is quiet,
-
right? Jesus was not North North
-
American the way he partied and the way he celebrated.
-
Like they turned up all the time.
-
And so no one can defeat the grave.
-
Quiet. All right, go.
-
Go right ahead. I love fire starters.
-
I love fire starters. Father, we quiet our souls not
-
to escape reality, but to align with truth.
-
We lay down every false version of peace we've learned, and we
-
open our hearts to receive the peace that only you give.
-
Holy Spirit, tune our ears today.
-
Steady our minds today. And lead us deeper from
-
understanding peace into encountering the person of
-
peace. Father, we come under your
-
government right now. We renounce every false peace we
-
learned in survival, every substitute we used to cope with,
-
and every version of calm that never healed us.
-
Holy Spirit, take the lead in this room.
-
Quiet every storm that isn't from you.
-
Steady every mind under pressure and draw us deeper, not into
-
information, but into revelation and encounter.
-
We receive the peace Jesus left for us.
-
We come under the government of God right now.
-
Every false peace is dismantled. Every counterfeit calm is
-
exposed. Every coping mechanism that
-
never healed us is laid down. The atmosphere shifts.
-
Now the noise settles. Now the storm inside quiets.
-
Holy Spirit, take your place as teacher and governor.
-
We receive the peace Jesus already left us.
-
We descend into. Information not into
-
information, but into encounter. We descend not into information,
-
but into encounter. Now many of you listen to me
-
pray. I put in some hard work for you
-
to read it yourself. That is a prayer you put on your
-
lips. Watch this.
-
You cannot fight noise being mute.
-
Last week we opened this series Peace of Mind by Nope, Nope,
-
Nope, Nope, Nope. Talk to you boy.
-
Thank you. We open this series, Peace of
-
Mind, by dismantling the myths and the counterfeits of peace,
-
identifying what peace is not and what peace is.
-
But today we're not staying on the surface.
-
Today we are going deeper. Somebody say deeper.
-
We understand the enemy can't steal salvation, so he targets
-
our sanity. He cannot steal your salvation,
-
so he targets your sanity. The Pharmaceutical industry is a
-
trillion dollar organization because we leave Jesus out of
-
our sanity, right? Entertainment is a trillion
-
dollar energy because instead of dealing with our storms, we
-
entertain our way into a numbing that causes us to be distracted
-
but not delivered. Hallelujah somebody.
-
Last week we discovered that peace is not calm circumstances.
-
Peace is not silence. Peace is not a personality type.
-
Peace is not the absence of conflict.
-
Peace is not avoidance. Peace is not everything going
-
our way. Peace is not yoga, meditation,
-
vibes, stretching, breath work or good energy.
-
Thank God for stretches and self-care.
-
Exercise, hiking, clear blue water, exotic vacations, breath
-
work, meditation, and the sort. But none of these can anchor
-
your soul. Amen.
-
Watch this. They relax the body, but they do
-
not restore the spirit. They calm your nervous system,
-
but they cannot cover your mind. They reset your emotions, but
-
they cannot rebuke your enemies. Peace is not environment peace.
-
Sorry, Peace is not environment. Peace is not energy.
-
Peace is not escape. Peace is not empty, and peace is
-
not emotional sedation. Gotta go deeper, somebody say
-
deeper, somebody say Peace of Mind.
-
Somebody say we shall not be moved.
-
I need you to know this. The one who controls your peace
-
also controls your pace, also controls your perspective, also
-
controls your decisions, and also controls your destiny.
-
Again, the one who controls your peace controls your pace.
-
Listen, because peace is not passive.
-
Peace is power. Peace is not calm.
-
Peace is catastrophic to hell. Peace is not relaxation.
-
Peace is a revolution of order. Peace overthrows disorder,
-
dismantles confusion, and disorients chaos.
-
Peace is not merely a concept to understand or a condition to
-
achieve, but peace is a person. Peace is a person.
-
And John shows us this very masterfully.
-
He says peace I leave with you my own peace I now give and
-
bequeath to you, not as the world, not as the world I'll
-
back up peace. I leave with you, I leave with
-
you. I leave peace.
-
I leave with you what you asking me for peace.
-
I leave with you what you spending hours asking for peace
-
for. I leave with you peace I leave
-
with you. And the good news is it's my
-
peace not as the world gives. And the good news is I bequeath
-
it to you. So peace is not a condition.
-
Peace is an inheritance. Yeah.
-
Not as this world gives. Do I give to you.
-
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
-
Do not let it be troubled. Do not let it be trouble.
-
Oh, you got authority over anxiety.
-
You got authority over depression.
-
You got authority over chaos. Do not not let your hearts be
-
troubled, neither let them be afraid.
-
So if I look at this passage, I also can understand Peace is my
-
authority over trouble. John 13.
-
The room is shaking. Betrayal has walked out the door
-
in the form of Judas, denial has been foretold about Peter and
-
the disciples inner world is unraveling, the spirit of fear
-
is taunting them, confusion is settling in like a thick fog and
-
hope is drifting. But.
-
Then Jesus spoke something that shifts the atmosphere.
-
Jesus spoke something that changes every storm narrative,
-
and Jesus spoke something about every wilderness season and
-
every valley crossing. He says peace I leave with you,
-
my peace I give to you. Understand this.
-
This cannot be bought, lost or taken.
-
This is a piece that cannot be bought.
-
It cannot be lost and it cannot be taken.
-
The Bible, not the Bible, sorry, I'm going to be I'm going to
-
correct this because I don't want you to go look for this
-
scripture. But it comes from here.
-
The Saints used to say, and I still say because I'm a St. is,
-
is that this joy that I have? The world didn't give it to me
-
and the world can't take it away.
-
That's this peace, that's this love, this peace that I have.
-
The world didn't give it to me. You leaving me alone is not
-
giving me the peace that I have it rain.
-
It's it's it's a storm outside. Does it you know, the sun coming
-
out Canada is that that's not when I don't wait for peak
-
summer to have peace. I'm sorry, Canada, I I get it.
-
It's it's sad the disorder and and I get it.
-
I get that we we have owned that diagnosis.
-
So we have a reason to be depressed here in BC during this
-
season. But the word says while the rest
-
of BC is depressed. For a few months I got a few
-
people that actually got authority and can be the
-
sunshine in their city. Somebody say peace.
-
He left something in that room that day.
-
He deposited something in their minds.
-
He bequeathed something into their bloodline that night.
-
Something was left behind, even though he was getting ready to
-
lift off and the disciples didn't realize it.
-
But the greatest watch it, watch it.
-
The greatest gift given in that moment wasn't calm, It wasn't
-
clarity, nor was it closure. It was him.
-
Right. Aren't these things that we
-
always ask for? Lord calm our storm?
-
He didn't give them calm. Lord give me clarity.
-
He didn't give them clarity. Lord, I pray that that this I
-
can get closure out of this situation.
-
He didn't even give them closure.
-
He gave them him. When is him going to be enough?
-
Because he him. Yeah, right.
-
We got to think about that when Pray about it, pray about it.
-
Peace wasn't an emotion Jesus handed them.
-
Peace was not an emotion Jesus handed them.
-
Peace was not a principle Jesus taught them.
-
And peace wasn't a vibe Jesus hoped they would feel.
-
We all about the vibe. I'm all about the vibe.
-
That's why I keep music going at this that I love a vibe.
-
That's why we got damn lights. I love the vibe.
-
Somebody say vibe? All right, peace was the
-
presence of the one who sat with them, Peace was the person who
-
loved them, and peace was the Jesus who never left them empty
-
handed. I'm going to say this again.
-
Peace wasn't an emotion Jesus handed them.
-
No, peace wasn't a principle Jesus taught them.
-
No, peace wasn't a vibe Jesus hoped they would feel.
-
No, peace was the presence of the one who sat with them.
-
Peace was the one who slept on the boat with them.
-
Peace was the person who loved them.
-
Peace was the Jesus who never left them empty handed.
-
Watch this, watch this, watch this.
-
The peace Jesus gives is the peace Jesus lives.
-
I know the peace Jesus gives is the same peace Jesus lives.
-
My peace he says I give to you. He wasn't giving them a feeling.
-
He was giving them access, Access to his nature, access to
-
his steadiness, access to his authority over storms, access to
-
his unshakeable inner world. In other words, he says, here's
-
the peace that you saw me walk with.
-
Here's the peace no one could understand.
-
I have no need for it where I'm going.
-
Peace I leave. You remember they asked that
-
question. They said who is this man that's
-
talking to the storm and the storm listening?
-
Somebody say peace so profound. I'm going to say it again,
-
right? That's your answer for this
-
week. You don't need no counseling
-
sessions this week. Who?
-
Is this man that spoke to the storm and the storm listened and
-
your answer was? Service over.
-
The reason why we're going to keep going is because I can look
-
around the room and I just know if you left right now, it would
-
not stick as your truth. Something would hit you in the
-
next hour and you would forget that the same one who spoke to
-
the storm and the storm listened is the same authority that you
-
have over what's going to hit you sometime today.
-
Watch this. And some of you are sitting in
-
here, shoulders tight, that got lumps in it, butt cheek squows.
-
Yeah. You are a tense person.
-
If you haven't had a massage, your breathing patterns are off.
-
You are tense. If you paid attention right now,
-
you could probably breathe and let your shoulders lower a
-
little bit more, right? You nervous?
-
So even as I'm talking the peace, talking about peace, he's
-
giving you access. This piece that was in the room
-
then is in the room now. Somebody say access because
-
peace isn't achieved, Peace is received, peace isn't
-
discovered, peace is encountered and peace isn't built.
-
Peace is inherited. Watch what he says here.
-
So profound. Message translation says I'm
-
leaving you Danny well and whole.
-
When he says peace I leave you, He says I'm leaving you well and
-
whole. Watch this.
-
I don't know how you got so jacked up, but I left you well
-
and whole. I don't know how you let
-
yourself get so troubled and confused and worried, but I left
-
you well and whole. I don't know how you got stuck
-
in depression so long, but I left you well and whole.
-
I don't know why you still dealing with the same anger
-
issues you had before you met me, but I left you well and
-
whole. Somebody say he left me well and
-
whole. Look at your neighbors, say I
-
don't know about you, but I'm well and whole.
-
Watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this, he says.
-
That's my parting gift to you. I'm leaving you well and whole.
-
That's my parting gift with you. Peace.
-
I don't leave you the way you're used to being left.
-
All you people who deal with rejection and abandonment
-
issues, I'll raise my hand because some of y'all be lying
-
to yourself. Yeah, I have some rejection
-
issues and I'm I'm on the tail end of them, but I still got
-
some little remnants in there. But before these years out, I
-
promise you they'll be conquered, right?
-
My goal this year was to to to abandon all my coping mechanisms
-
and walk into peace. No, no, no, no.
-
There's a difference between coping and conquering.
-
OK, let me let me get back to my script.
-
Amen. Watch this.
-
I don't leave you the way you're used to being left feeling
-
abandoned and bereft. Where all you ladies that are
-
settling, if your man don't bring this to your life, he can
-
wait and you can, right? It's got to be to a point in
-
your life where there's certain conversations that you like.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no, that's a storm I don't need in my life.
-
So we don't need to talk about that, right?
-
The people that want to stay stuck, they might not say they
-
want to stay stuck, but they actions show they not hungry
-
enough to change. So talking to me is not going to
-
help because I've told you all the wisdom I got.
-
Now at some point you're going to take the wisdom and go to the
-
person that I told you about that can help you.
-
Because truth of the matter is he helped me.
-
And if you don't want to go to him and you coming to me more
-
than you go to him. I'm getting out of you and Jesus
-
way. Talk to somebody else.
-
I'm praying for you. Look, look at what he said.
-
He said, I don't leave you the way you used to be and left
-
feeling abandoned. So don't be upset, don't be
-
distraught. I can I can see if I told some
-
people that in a counseling session you would be like easy
-
for you to say, watch this. Easier said than done.
-
Well, he told us, the Segway is the Segway.
-
To everything in the Kingdom, I'll say it again, the Segway is
-
the Segway to everything in the Kingdom.
-
The flyer ain't going to come. I mean, a slide ain't going to
-
come up that just slid out of heaven and it's sliding up to
-
your lap. The Segway.
-
Wait, some of you like, what are you talking about, PT Life and
-
death is in the power of the tongue.
-
So. So if I say what he said, it is
-
the Segway to what he promised. So as though it's easier said
-
than done, the said way is the best way.
-
So next time somebody say to you say it's easier said than done,
-
say you are right. That's why he told me to said it
-
so I could do it. Jesus is saying I'm leaving, but
-
I'm not leaving you empty. They didn't just receive peace,
-
they received the Prince of Peace.
-
The parting gift. Oops, my glasses.
-
The parting gift is not sadness. The parting gift is wholeness.
-
The parting gift is Shalom and the parting gift is peace that
-
makes you whole where life made you fractured.
-
But today Jesus is saying, stop asking me for what I already
-
left you. Jesus is not dangling peace in
-
heaven. He deposited in the room.
-
Peace isn't a future prayer request, it's a present
-
possession. If I left it, watch this.
-
If I left it with you, why are you begging like it was never
-
yours? You, you.
-
You keep asking for peace like the world gives it.
-
You want peace that changes circumstances, but my peace
-
changes you. You want peace that removes
-
pressure, but my peace gives you power and pressure.
-
The world gives you peace when things calm down.
-
I give you peace when things are falling apart.
-
My peace does not activate in worldly ways.
-
This is for everybody to get. My peace does not activate in
-
worldly ways. You cannot access my peace
-
through control, through numbing, through distractions,
-
through hustle, and through escape.
-
My peace activates through trust, surrender, obedience, and
-
proximity to me. It's not accessed by coping.
-
It's activated by alignment. You don't lose my peace, You
-
step out of agreement with it. So anyone that does not have the
-
peace of God right now, it's not because you lost it, it's
-
because you're out of alignment. My peace doesn't leave you.
-
You leave the posture that carries my peace.
-
You don't forfeit peace because life gets loud.
-
You forfeit peace when you let fear lead instead of letting me
-
govern your inner world. If it's my peace, then my ways
-
sustain it. I'll say it again, if it's my
-
peace, Jesus speaking, then my ways is what sustains my peace.
-
I think one more time. If it's my peace, then it is my
-
ways that sustain my peace. So you can't demand my peace
-
while rejecting my voice. You can't carry my peace while
-
ignoring my spirit. You can't walk in my peace while
-
resisting my order. If it's my peace, it's sustained
-
by my presence, by my truth, and by my spirit.
-
Peace is not something I keep giving you.
-
Peace is not something He keeps giving us.
-
Peace is not something he keeps giving us.
-
It's something I already left you.
-
Now live from it. Today.
-
We're not just going to study peace.
-
We're not just preaching peace. Watch it.
-
We're going to meet him. We are activating inheritance
-
today. We're going to walk into the
-
room John brought us in and recognized that the gift he left
-
then is the same gift still. He leaves.
-
We're going deeper into the person of peace.
-
Jesus may have departed from the Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus may have departed, but the Holy Spirit has arrived.
-
John reveals peace not as a feeling, but as a Trinitarian
-
handoff. Jesus never gives a gift without
-
giving you the power to keep that gift.
-
Yeah, on verse 27, he shows us the peace he left.
-
But in verse 26, he shows us the Holy Spirit He sent.
-
He left peace. He sent the Holy Spirit to
-
sustain us, teach us, and guard that peace.
-
And in John 1426, Jesus secures the gift He just released.
-
You cannot understand John 1427 unless you first see John 1426.
-
He promises not just peace, but He promises the person who
-
secures that peace after he leaves.
-
But the helper. But the helper, comforter,
-
advocate, intercessor, counselor, strengthener stand by
-
the Holy Spirit. Whom the Father will send in my
-
name in my place to represent me and act on my behalf.
-
He will teach you all things and He will help you remember
-
everything that I have told you. Somebody say the Helper,
-
somebody say the Holy Spirit, Somebody say the Father will
-
send in His name in His place to act on His behalf.
-
He will teach you all things and He will keep you.
-
Remember remembering everything. Watch this.
-
If Jesus is our peace and the Holy Spirit comes in His place
-
to act on His behalf, the peace that we're talking about is
-
governed by the Holy Spirit that He sent.
-
It is governed by His presence. The peace Jesus gives in verse
-
27 is sustained by the Spirit He promises in verse 26.
-
You follow him. The peace Jesus gives in verse
-
27 is sustained by the Spirit he promises in verse 26.
-
He says, I'm leaving you peace. That's the Son's gift.
-
The Father will send the Spirit. That's Heaven's strategy.
-
He will remind you of everything I've spoken.
-
That's how peace stays alive inside.
-
I want to give that to you one more time.
-
I'm leaving you peace. That's the Son's gift.
-
Somebody say the Son's gift. The Father will send the Spirit.
-
That's Heaven's strategy. He will remind you Who is he?
-
The Holy Spirit will remind you of everything I've spoken.
-
That's how peace stays alive. Peace isn't a free floating
-
feeling. Peace is the anchor of your soul
-
when the storms of life are raging.
-
Peace is tied to a person, the spirit of truth.
-
Peace is tied to a person, the spirit of truth.
-
Peace is not just given, peace is taught.
-
That's why he's the Holy Spirit is the teacher.
-
That's why the Holy Spirit is to bring to remembrance everything
-
that Jesus needs you to remember.
-
In other words, there is a word ordained for every storm.
-
So I got to move every complaint out the way because complaints
-
are not going to calm my storm, only the word that's ordained
-
for my storm. Because before I got in my
-
storm, God knew the storm was coming.
-
So he said go to the other side. I got you.
-
I'm praying. I'm sending the word.
-
Every storm has a word ordained to it.
-
Watch this. What if I told you the attack is
-
not on you? The attack is on the word.
-
OK so you keep taking it personal and you think what you
-
going through is all about you, although God is using it to
-
perfect you. The storm.
-
The Bible says this. Jesus says that the enemy comes
-
immediately for the sake of the Word.
-
So I watch people in church all the time.
-
What I do know, we got a lot of smart people in British
-
Columbia. But what I will tell every
-
person that don't take notes in here, you aren't that smart.
-
Watch this because what's being spoken is heavenly language.
-
So although watch this although. The word is imparted into your
-
spirit. It is kept by your stewardship.
-
So you can't go to school or you students with a backpack and a
-
notebook because one day there will be a test.
-
But then come in here knowing the devil know you walked in
-
church today. He knows the word that was
-
spoken to you today and he is going to attack the very area
-
you've been given a word for. And so you're going to walk out
-
of here feeling good and inspired.
-
But when feeling go away, feeling don't keep you in
-
storms. Knowing keeps you in a storm.
-
When you in a storm, you ain't got time to text your friend who
-
was taking notes and who do pray and who do know the word and be
-
like what's that scripture they was talking about?
-
When you in a storm, you ain't got time to go listen to the
-
stream again. So a part of taking notes is not
-
merely to record what you're going to study tomorrow.
-
It is to double down in a way. I hear, I write when I write.
-
I see that is three ways. I've just fed myself the word
-
right now. Some of y'all is one way getting
-
the word. So all the enemy got to do,
-
because the only way you got the word was through these ears.
-
All he got to do is send another word to distract what was
-
coming. You know what I'm saying?
-
And so I got to write it down because when the waves and the
-
wind come, I can at least take my eyes right back.
-
Why does Jesus say whoever put keeps their eyes on me, I'm
-
going to give you perfect peace. So in church, in the Kingdom, we
-
don't take notes because one day we get in a diploma.
-
We take notes to keep our victory.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
-
Note is not to achieve something.
-
It is to manifest something that's already been achieved.
-
Gotcha. All right, I I just had my
-
spiel. Thank you, Lord.
-
Peace is not just imparted, it's maintained.
-
Peace is not just imparted, it's maintained.
-
How is peace maintained? It's maintained by the Word, and
-
This is why Ephesians 6 says that the Word is the sword of
-
the Spirit. Oh, if I don't put no word in
-
me, then there's no sword for the Holy Ghost to help me.
-
So how the Holy Spirit helps me is when a storm comes, He goes
-
deep into my soul where I put that Word.
-
Watch this. I am not meant to remember every
-
word every day. I am meant to put it in so when
-
the day comes, Holy Ghost comes. Watch.
-
This scripture just said that it is the Holy Ghost ministry to
-
remind me what Jesus taught me. Peace is not just imparted, it's
-
maintained. I am trying to help you students
-
to not be a slave to secular education and understand that
-
when your education don't work for you, the Word will always
-
work for you. There is no diploma to help your
-
storms. Watch this.
-
Do not go to a Christian college and not be a Kingdom citizen.
-
All right, moving right along. There's no kidding.
-
There's no students here. I'm talking to all adults.
-
Amen. Peace is not just imparted, it's
-
me. Look, when I was young, I, I, I
-
don't want to go to a church where God don't.
-
Speak to me. You know what I'm saying?
-
And it's way too many young people that God ain't speaking
-
today's circumstances because we no, no, no, no, no.
-
Watch this this corner over here is who's about to carry the
-
gospel to the world for the last days.
-
That's y'all. Take it serious because I don't
-
care how much money you. Pay for your education.
-
No bachelor's can cause an enemy to stay under your feet, so take
-
your stuff serious. Watch this.
-
I'm going to say this last thing.
-
I don't care how people do it, but do not go to a Christian
-
School for the sake of Christian School and be a hypocrite to use
-
the Christian education. You will be held accountable for
-
the blessing of being able to walk on a campus saturated by
-
prayer to be taught by believers.
-
That is a high accountability whoever's for I don't care if
-
I'm talking to one person if one person get what I'm saying over
-
here in this right corner over here.
-
I've done my job today but for whatever reason is hitting my
-
soul that the world has made students think that the
-
education you getting demands. You to carry a backpack.
-
Every year, backpack, line paper computer you up at 3:00 in the
-
morning trying to get this piece of paper that may or may not
-
secure your future and when some of you come.
-
Here, and I'm talking not just y'all adults in here, you come
-
in here and you listen to the Word like you're watching TV.
-
When the Bible says the very thing the enemy comes for is for
-
the Word. So if the enemy have anybody had
-
something like anybody have a kid and you got sugar in the
-
house and you got a kid that just loves sugar.
-
So you got to start hiding it. You ever you ever hide the
-
sugar? You ever hide anything?
-
You ever, you ever hide something?
-
Why did you hide the sugar? Why did you hide?
-
Why did you hide your last bag of chips?
-
Why did you hide right? Why did you hide your keys?
-
Why, why, why do you hide something?
-
Why do you hide something? Why do you hide something?
-
You're protecting it. Here's what it is.
-
And you assume when you hide it, when you go back, it's going to
-
be there because you hid it. Watch this.
-
You don't hide the word by looking at the person speaking
-
the word. You don't merely hide the word
-
by just listening to the word. You listen.
-
You write it. And when you write it, watch
-
this, you see it. And as you're writing, there's
-
nerves. Ask people that don't know, that
-
can't write because of some muscular, muscular, skeletorial,
-
you know, dysfunction, that these nerves, they go and they
-
connect to our brain. As I'm writing on paper, I'm
-
writing on my heart. Peace is not just imparted, it's
-
maintained. Peace is not just received.
-
It's reinforced by the Holy Spirit.
-
My peace is your gift and my spirit is your keeper.
-
Jesus says my peace is your gift and my spirit is your keeper.
-
Watch this. There are 6 dimensions of
-
ministry that the Holy Spirit has and it's very important for
-
you to know. We just read them but we going
-
to give them to you. 6 dimensions of the ministry of
-
the Holy Spirit, number 11 dimension.
-
The Bible says he's helper. OK, he's helper.
-
That is Parakletos. Watch this.
-
It'll come up. It'll come up.
-
Comforter. That's his ministry.
-
He brings emotional and spiritual stability.
-
He brings emotional and spiritual stability.
-
Somebody say comforter #2 he is advocate.
-
He speaks on our behalf. Yeah.
-
It's kind of like when Jesus spoke to the storm on behalf of
-
the disciples. When I put the word inside of
-
me, guess what the Holy Spirit does to my storms?
-
He speaks to my storms. What good is it for me to speak
-
to your storm if you are going to idolize your storm advocate?
-
Speaks on your behalf #3 Intercessor, he stands in the
-
gap for you. Watch this, this.
-
Why are these dimensions important?
-
These are all six ways he assures peace governs your life.
-
This is 6 ways he governs your life.
-
He administers peace in your life.
-
Intercessor, he stands in the gap for you.
-
And four, he's a counselor. He gives divine wisdom and
-
clarity. He gives divine wisdom and
-
clarity. He gives divine wisdom and
-
clarity and #5 strengthener. He infuses supernatural
-
endurance. He infuses super.
-
How many people in here have ever been through a storm?
-
And you knew you wasn't going to make it.
-
You just knew you was going to make it.
-
The fact you're answering that today, right?
-
We got one person been to a storm.
-
I want to me and Danny, I want to be like everybody else in
-
here. I want to know, Storms Laura.
-
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This year, this year, this year.
-
Infused supernatural endurance. Somebody say I need some
-
endurance, right? This is the Holy Ghost job and
-
then number six standby. He's my standby, right?
-
You know I can't. I can't wait till I give me a
-
Boo that's just waiting on me. What holy?
-
Spirit waiting on you, Been waiting on you.
-
Never sleeps nor slumbers. Watch this.
-
He's ever present, always ready. And he's our constant companion.
-
He's ever present, always ready. Your watch this.
-
So when your friends can't produce peace for you or calm,
-
guess what, Holy Spirit, ever ready.
-
Always comes when your spouse lets you down.
-
Guess what, Holy Spirit ever present, always ready.
-
He never condemns, He never throws guilt trips, He never
-
abandons. Hey man, He doesn't leave you
-
comfortless, He leaves you comforted.
-
He is with me. He doesn't leave me abandoned.
-
He leaves me accompanied. He never leaves me.
-
He doesn't leave me barren. He makes me whole.
-
He is my shepherd. I shall not want.
-
The Spirit is the ongoing conversation of peace.
-
He encourages me. The Spirit is the ongoing
-
conversation of peace. The spirit is the ongoing
-
conversation of peace. He's encouraging me always watch
-
this. He never gets tired of
-
encouraging me watch this. Every person in here then got
-
tired of encouraging somebody. Even if you got the gift of
-
encouragement, you know them people that always need an
-
encouragement, that's always crying.
-
That's always. And you after a while you just
-
see them crying in church. You like, I'm just going to keep
-
walking. I'm just you.
-
I, I catch you next Sunday right there in the same seat always,
-
right? No, no, this is what we have to.
-
No, that's love. Because guess what?
-
You ain't going to make me the Holy Spirit because I'm not
-
always standing by. Right this good parenting right
-
here. I'm not always standing by.
-
This is how you do your baby. If you ever going to let them go
-
to learn how to go to sleep in their crib, you got to let them
-
cry. Somebody say let them cry.
-
The Spirit is the continuing application of peace.
-
He fortifies me. He fortifies me.
-
He fortifies me. The Spirit is the internal
-
reminder of peace. He fortifies.
-
The Spirit is the guardian of what Jesus deposited.
-
He guards me. He's my security.
-
The Holy Spirit is not passive witness.
-
He is not a passive witness. He is active support.
-
The Holy Spirit is not a passive witness.
-
He is active support. He is on call.
-
He's on call and on time. The Holy Spirit is not a passive
-
witness. He is active support.
-
The very presence of Jesus continuing His work in you, the
-
very presence of Jesus continuing his work in you.
-
The very presence of Jesus continuing his work in you.
-
He is watch this. There is Trinitarian
-
cooperation. If you was here last week, go,
-
go, go, go back and listen to last week.
-
There's a lot last week that would help you with this week,
-
but he is Trinitarian cooperate. There is Trinitarian
-
cooperation. Watch this.
-
Whom the Father will send in my name.
-
You see this in one right here, one second.
-
Whom the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
-
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
-
Trinitarian cooperation, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
-
will send in my name, Holy Spirit 1.
-
Father will send 2 in my name. You need the Holy Spirit, you
-
need the Father's love, and you need the cooperation and the
-
authority of Jesus. Name The Father sins.
-
Somebody say the Father sins. Watch this.
-
The Son authorizes and the Spirit applies.
-
The Father sins. Watch this.
-
Watch this. Somebody told me I, I got, I
-
got, I want to explain this right because I put a lot of
-
work into these slides. I put a lot of work in these
-
slides. OK, Grace don't make these
-
slides, nor do Emma make these slides, OK, Because some of
-
y'all be thinking PT that he'd be doing great.
-
No, this is me and I I charge $79 an hour.
-
OK, 2026, I'm opening my graphic business up.
-
Hey, man. All proceeds go to the Remnant
-
project in Jesus name. Watch this, watch this.
-
But it's very important because for me, I want to, I want to get
-
off of these slides and I just want to preach to you, but this
-
is not necessarily a preaching community, right?
-
This is a very, this is a community where a region where
-
you're taught to just be educated.
-
And that's how we approach Jesus.
-
We just want to be educated, right?
-
And so there's a there's a mix of that.
-
OK, But I also understand that the church, specifically the
-
Kingdom of God, is not as old here.
-
So there's a lot of things. Some of you've been going to
-
church for a while, but there's some stuff.
-
You ain't even learned. There's so many people for the
-
first. Time fasting coming to this
-
church, but you've got you've been a Christian for so long.
-
There's some people been going to church so long and never know
-
nothing about the Holy Spirit in tongues.
-
Some people in the in the church you've joined the Kingdom don't
-
know nothing about the Kingdom of God.
-
It's never been preached to you. And then there's some people for
-
sure. I can tell.
-
All of us need to understand peace.
-
So this ain't something we could just preach down.
-
If you get it, respond. But if you don't keep get, I
-
much rather you don't say a word and get this understanding
-
because where the world is heading, this is going to be the
-
greatest commodity that any person.
-
This is going to be our greatest witness to a world that is
-
falling. Amen.
-
So the Father sends, the Father sends, the Son authorizes, and
-
the Spirit applies. He says in my name.
-
In other words, it is my authority that is in my name.
-
Jesus. Jesus, you made the darkness
-
shrimp, right? We sing no songs, but we don't
-
understand. We're not just saying a name as
-
we're singing. That is moving the heavens,
-
right? We have just watered down.
-
We got crosses on our chest and we we just say Jesus name and we
-
got Bible apps, but we don't understand the authority in our
-
mouths. What if somebody told you if you
-
say it every time you say the word, the one toe is going to
-
fall off. You'd be saying all kind of bad
-
sentences, huh? Yeah, yeah.
-
You'll be a whole lot more careful with what you say.
-
What's what's this? When the last time you was
-
careful saying Jesus name that name greater than your name.
-
That name greater than sweetie, babe, Boo.
-
That that name is greater than any name.
-
That is the name that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall
-
confess. That is the name that demons
-
tremble. That's the name somebody say.
-
That's the name in my name. Watch this.
-
It is not just my authority, but it is in my name.
-
It is my name's assignment. Your peace is my name's
-
assignment. Watch this.
-
This is why I came when Adam and Eve fell.
-
They didn't just lose authority over stuff, they lost dominion
-
over the Kingdom of peace. They lost they literally.
-
When you lose authority you lose your mind.
-
You ever lose your keys? Watch this.
-
Even worse, some of y'all don't care.
-
You ever lose your phone? Oh yeah.
-
Oh yeah, exactly. That's how much, how much you
-
watch this. Your phone got more authority
-
over your emotions than the name of Jesus.
-
Come talk to me, lose your phone and see what you're willing to
-
put on hold. Some of us have been late to
-
work looking for our phone. Then some of us have spent three
-
hours talking to somebody that the name could have fixed the
-
situation in 5 minutes. It's my assignment.
-
Somebody say it's his assignment.
-
The Spirit does not replace Jesus.
-
He represents Jesus, He's partners with Jesus, He came to
-
execute on Jesus behalf. The Holy Spirit is the internal
-
teacher of the believer. Watch this.
-
The Holy Spirit interprets Jesus, Watch this.
-
Sometimes our peace is is locked behind a revelation, so I need
-
the Holy Spirit to unlock and bring clarity to what God is
-
saying and that will give me peace.
-
Sometimes I don't need the breakthrough, I just need the
-
next step. I sometime don't need the next
-
step, I just need an encouraging ordained word.
-
I don't just need cheerleaders. I need one word.
-
The Holy Spirit is the internal teacher of the believer.
-
Watch this. He illuminates truth.
-
Ephesians, one tells us He illuminates truth, right?
-
That's why I don't come to church playing.
-
I don't approach the word plan. I actually need to come here.
-
I come here because I need him to illuminate some things in my
-
life, deposit some things in my life, because when I head out
-
there for six days, there is something waiting for me.
-
So I also don't just need the word, but I need friends who
-
heard the word. Watch this.
-
I need a spouse who heard the word so when we in the house,
-
she or he ain't the one stealing the word.
-
And when we go through our tough times in the week, we bring it
-
back to the what word? Watch this.
-
He clarifies doctrine. The Holy Spirit is the internal
-
teacher of the believer. He reveals the heart of God.
-
I can't hear from God. But you, you stepping over the
-
Holy Ghost, You're just stepping over the Holy Ghost, right?
-
You watch this. I want to hear from God, but I
-
don't want to listen to the Holy Spirit ordained teacher that God
-
sent me so I can hear from him. Lord help me.
-
No, I'm going to just go to this church and I'm going to go here.
-
No, no, no, you better be careful because some churches,
-
they teach you, but they ain't hearing.
-
Hey, the world too dark for me not to hear.
-
I can't just go to any church. I need to hear from God.
-
If I'm living, God is still assigned to my life.
-
He still has plans for my life. And if God got plans for my
-
life, I need to keep hearing from God.
-
Somebody say he reveals, watch this.
-
Peace is taught, not stumbled into all right, it's coming.
-
Peace is taught, it's not stumbled into the spirit and
-
person of wisdom and revelation. The Bible shows us, watch this,
-
watch this, watch this. The Bible said the word became
-
flesh. The word became what flesh.
-
In other words, that's how revelation work.
-
The Word became flesh so that our flesh can become one with
-
the Word. So every time I get revelation,
-
I become more aligned with the Word.
-
And every time I become more aligned with the Word, I become
-
more aligned with Jesus. And every time I become more
-
aligned with Jesus, I become more aligned with guess what?
-
Guess what, Guess what, peace. Watch this.
-
Here's the two scriptures for you and the Word became flesh.
-
First Corinthians 124 watch this.
-
You ready for this? Christ is the power of God, and
-
Christ is the wisdom of God. Oh Shorty Shorty, Christ is the
-
power of God, and Christ is the wisdom of God.
-
Well, if he is peace, then peace is the wisdom and wisdom is the
-
peace. And when I get God's wisdom, not
-
just my neighbor's input, be careful getting wisdom from
-
people who don't got peace to give with the wisdom.
-
Watch this wisdom. The wisdom of God calms storms.
-
The power of God calms storms. Watch this to bring back into
-
active awareness at the right time.
-
The Holy Spirit gives us has the ministry to cause us to remember
-
everything. I love this word, Laura.
-
There is not one thing that God has put in you that when the
-
right time comes, He will not reveal to you.
-
What if I told I, I, I, when somebody tell?
-
Look, I got so much word in me, but right now if you gave me an
-
exam, I may not pass the test unless the Holy Spirit bring it
-
to my remembrance. Watch this because your test of
-
my doctrine is not the Holy Spirit's assignment for me to
-
walk in that store, right? You trying to catch me in my
-
doctrine like Jesus, that ain't my battle.
-
So there's sometimes you know the word is in you.
-
You don't got nothing to prove to nobody.
-
When they tried to trip Jesus up, he didn't answer what they
-
wanted to hear. He the Holy Spirit is only
-
responsible to bring to remembrance what Jesus needs you
-
to know. So This is why, look, you can
-
read the Bible from the from the table of contents, the maps all
-
the way to the end. Good for you, you we all should
-
do it in our lifetime. But I will promise you the Holy
-
Spirit ain't going to bring the whole Bible up to remembrance.
-
So I'm a, I'm a, my priority first is to read based on where
-
I'm at in my life because that's the quickest to connect to my
-
heart because I need that word. OK, so sometime I'm just not
-
going to read the genealogies. Most of the time I'm not just
-
going to study the genealogies, OK, but if I need to, I will.
-
The Spirit reminds us of promise.
-
This is so important. This is why.
-
Time is the teller of fruit. Cuz man, when you got somebody
-
waiting on a building for four years you they don't got to talk
-
to you about nothing. You just see man, they must have
-
heard something from God if they still standing with joy watch
-
this. No, even when the door ain't
-
open that we said God said was going to open, they keep getting
-
stronger. How have you been waiting for
-
four years and you getting stronger, not weaker?
-
There must be something on the inside that you holding on to
-
and you believe so I might need to understand.
-
The greatest fruit that you have is your faithfulness and you
-
shall not be moved at all. Watch this.
-
The Spirit reminds us of promise when fear is loud.
-
The Spirit reminds us of truth when lies are circling our
-
minds, and the Spirit reminds us of identity when anxiety rises.
-
Peace comes from the Spirit reminding you of what Jesus
-
already revealed. Oh, so the step to my peace?
-
The first step is revelation. And then I stepped into serious
-
peace when he revealed because you ever get revelation that you
-
quite don't get but it's revealed.
-
And when the storm hits, sometimes watch this.
-
Sometimes he'll remind you to your inner self.
-
Sometimes he puts giant killers in your life and they remind you
-
how many times the elder John elder roll elder stays in
-
different people in my life. They could just because we knit
-
it, right? So they'll just walk by me or
-
they'll send a text. You ever get that text from
-
somebody out of nowhere that don't text you all the time?
-
So you know, it must have been God maybe because they don't
-
text you all the time, right? They normally keep it real with
-
you and keep it. But then there's this one time
-
they sent the word just out of nowhere.
-
You like, oh, you don't know how on time that was.
-
Watch this. It ain't always in you.
-
Sometimes it's around you and sometimes the Holy Spirit speaks
-
to someone else, sends you a word to your spirit that's
-
already been revealed, and you'll get a friend that says.
-
Remember what you meant. These two right here always
-
reminded me of what I said and like, ain't you I, I, I heard a
-
man preach the other day that said, and I'm like you right,
-
you right, right. Take the butt out of revelation.
-
Peace is not maintained by human strength, but by divine.
-
Presence. The Holy Spirit is the one who
-
teaches you how peace works and how to work peace.
-
Chaka Khan, the one who reminds you of what Jesus said about
-
peace. The Holy Spirit is the one who
-
respects Jesus within you. And is the spirit of the fear of
-
God. The Holy Spirit is the one who
-
strengthens, comforts, counsels, and defends our peace, which
-
defends our minds, and he is the Prince of Peace.
-
Jesus gives peace, the Spirit guards peace, and the Father
-
sends peace. Jesus gives peace, the Spirit
-
guards peace, and the Father sends peace.
-
Say it with me. Jesus gives peace, the Spirit
-
guards peace, and the Father sends peace.
-
He's not dismissing our emotions, He's announcing our
-
resource. He is not dismissing our
-
emotions, He's just announcing our resource.
-
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
-
Do not be disturbed, agitated, do not be intimidated, do not be
-
cowardly, and do not be unsettled.
-
His internal world, his emotional stability and His
-
divine equilibrium is within us. Peace is the fruit of Christ's
-
own inner life. Watch it.
-
When he gives peace, he gives himself.
-
I'm here to tell everybody, if you're not living in peace,
-
you're not living experience in Jesus because the spirit of
-
fear, I didn't get that to you. I gave you the spirit of power,
-
love, and a sound my peace. I'll leave you with this and
-
we'll pick back up in the next experience.
-
Here, watch this. Jesus locates where peace is.
-
Jesus locates where peace is. You ready?
-
I have told you these things so that in me you may have perfect
-
peace and confidence in the world.
-
You have tribulation. And trials and distress and
-
frustration. But be of good cheer.
-
That's crazy. How I'm gonna be of good cheer
-
in a storm. How I'm gonna be of good cheer
-
in a world with corrupt government.
-
How I'm gonna be of Of good cheer where there's injustice.
-
How I'm gonna be of good cheer when my daddy abandoned me.
-
How I'm gonna be of good cheer, he says.
-
But be of good cheer. Take courage, be confident,
-
certain, undaunted. For I have.
-
Overcome the world. There's nothing in this world
-
that can conquer you. I have deprived it of power to
-
harm you and have conquered it for you.
-
Watch this, he says. Peace is not external.
-
Peace is relational. It's in me.
-
Peace is not the absence of pressure.
-
Peace is the presence that governs pressure.
-
Get out of here. Peace is not the absence of
-
pressure. Peace is the presence that
-
governs pressure. In his victory, in his
-
sufficiency, in his authority, and in his finished work, Peace
-
is the presence that governs pressure.
-
Next experience we will pick up at Isaiah nine to discover that
-
Jesus is peace. Peace is the press, the presence
-
that governs pressure. Peace is the presence that
-
governs pressure in me. You want this peace, you got to
-
do it my way. All you overthinkers watch this.
-
Overthinking is Anxiety's cousin and controls uncle OK.
-
Overthinking is anxiety's cousin and controls uncle 2026 Be
-
careful how intellectual you try to be with the gospel.
-
But why? You get what I'm saying?
-
Some of you in here don't ask questions to go deeper.
-
You only ask questions to make sense.
-
And I'm here to tell you some of the stuff you hear up here is
-
what God revealed. So if I share my revelation with
-
you, if you don't go to the source that shared it with me,
-
it might just confuse you. More.
-
Because you cannot control the understanding.
-
And so today, in the name of Jesus, I step into divine
-
exchange. I lay down fear and I pick up
-
the peace that Jesus left for me.
-
I release anxiety. I receive the inheritance he
-
deposited in the room. The same peace he left in the
-
room then is the same peace that is available today.
-
I embrace the peace that is not man made, not emotion driven,
-
not circumstance dependent, but God-given, Christ shaped, spirit
-
guarded peace. I declare the peace that Jesus
-
left is mines. The peace that Jesus gave is
-
mines. The peace that carries His
-
identity, His nature, his steadiness, His strength.
-
That peace belongs to me. It is mines.
-
I hold the peace that comes from the one who walked through
-
storms, confronted demons, endured betrayal, face the
-
cross, and never lost his internal stability.
-
If his peace held him, His peace will hold me.
-
His peace will hold me. I declare my peace is not in
-
this world. My peace is not in my
-
environment. My peace is not in what is
-
happening around me. My peace is in.
-
Christ in his person, in his victory, in his authority, in
-
his finished work. I step into the in me realm.
-
The place where peace overruns pressure, where courage
-
overrules fear, where Jesus triumphs, cancels the power of
-
trouble. I.
-
Declare that because he says I am an overcomer, I am an
-
overcomer because he says I am triumphant, I am triumphant, and
-
because he says victory is mine. Guess what?
-
Victory. Is mine, I declare.
-
Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the Ruler, the Governor, the
-
commander of divine order. In my life.
-
Where he reigns, peace rules. Where he sits in Thrones, Shalom
-
flows, and where his lordship is established, chaos must bow.
-
Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing out of order, nothing
-
dislocated, nothing fragmented. In the government of His peace I
-
am made whole. I declare Jesus is not only the
-
giver of peace, He is my peace. Peace is not a principle.
-
Peace is a person. Peace is not a feeling.
-
Peace is fellowship with Him. Peace is not an outcome.
-
Peace is union with Christ because I am in Him and He is in
-
me. Peace is my portion, peace is my
-
posture, and peace is my identity and my internal
-
climate. If He is unshaken, I refuse to
-
be moved. If he is whole, I refuse to be
-
fractured. If he is steady, I refuse to be
-
spiral. If he is victorious, I refuse to
-
collapse. Declare the peace of God stands
-
guard over my heart and my mind like a military Garrison.
-
Peace is not fragile. Peace is fortified.
-
Peace is not passive. Peace is protective.
-
Peace is not decorative. Peace is defensive.
-
Holy Spirit, surround my thoughts, intercept intrusive
-
lies, block demonic harassment, shut down torment, silence
-
accusation and dismantle anxiety, established divine
-
order in every corner of my mind.
-
I need some prayer words to open your mouth and just pray.
-
I need some prayer words to open your mouth and pray.
-
It's not a listening moment, this is a receiving moment.
-
I declare that peace is the soldier of my imagination, the
-
shield of my emotions, the sentence come on the Centennial
-
over my soul. I declare that the Father willed
-
my peace, the Son secured my peace, and the spirit sustains
-
my peace. Peace is the fruit of divine
-
collaboration. Peace is the manifestation of
-
Heaven's government. Peace is the signature of the
-
Kingdom on my inner world. Declare over you all today that
-
your mind is guarded, your heart is steady, your soul is
-
anchored, your thoughts are aligned, your emotions are
-
covered. Your inner world is held
-
together by Christ Himself. I walk in peace.
-
I stand in peace. I sleep in peace.
-
I speak from peace. I move through peace.
-
I carry peace. No Fear will rule me.
-
No lie will shake me. No attack will destabilize me.
-
No storm will shake me. No weapon will prosper against
-
the peace of God that has established me.
-
And I declare I am kept. I am covered.
-
I am held. I am.
-
Whole. I am his.
-
Therefore I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved in the name of Jesus.
-
I shall not be moved from just talking about peace, from being
-
a citizen in peace, Lord God. I shall not be moved.
-
My mind is stable, my soul is stable.
-
I come against the deferment of my hope and I declare my mind is
-
stable. Holy Spirit, have your way.
-
Come on, Saints. Holy Spirit, have your way.
-
I speak peace over my household, not just for me, but for my
-
wife, for my children, for my family, for my friends, for my
-
acquaintances. In the name of Jesus, I come for
-
the peace right now and release it over the contract actors,
-
over this building, over the project managers of this
-
building. I declare peace in the name of
-
Jesus. Lord, I thank you as you release
-
this bumper crop. It will be released into the
-
hands of a people with peace in the name of Jesus.
-
Anxiety will not rob me anymore, depression will not rob me
-
anymore, double mindedness will not rob me anymore, and
-
decisiveness will not rob me anymore in the name of Jesus.
-
Anger will not rob me anymore in the name of Jesus.
-
I declare in the name of Jesus. I don't need pharmakia to have
-
peace in the name of Jesus. All I need is one word.
-
I don't need pornography to I have calm.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need a glass of wine to
-
calm my nerves. All I need is one word.
-
I don't need a wife or a husband to calm my life.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need a promotion.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need new clothes.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need another child.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need a building.
-
All I need is one word. I don't need a gym.
-
All I need is one word with one word.
-
You can turn. Turn everything around.
-
With one word, my whole life can be restored.
-
With one word, my whole family can be saved.
-
With one word in the name of Jesus, this whole city can be
-
saved. All I need is one word.
-
In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
-
In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
-
In the name of Jesus, Yeah. Yeah.
-
We're not waiting for 2026. We step into peace right now.
-
In the name of Jesus. We don't need closure.
-
All we need is one word. We don't need nobody to
-
apologize. All we need is one word in the
-
name of Jesus. While I wait on that job, give
-
me one word. While I wait on that spouse,
-
give me one word. While I wait for my children to
-
come home, give me one word. While you wait for your husband
-
to get free from alcoholism, all you need is one word.
-
So I take my piece back today. By aligning my thoughts with
-
your thoughts, aligning my words with your words, aligning my
-
ways with your ways take authority back over my inner
-
world, and I align myself with the Word of God.
-
Because it is in you, and only in you that we can walk in the
-
peace that surpasses all understanding.
-
May peace be the governor of my emotions.
-
May peace be the governor of my decision making.
-
May peace be the umpire that rules my life.
-
I just need a few people in here to stop playing with your mind
-
and take authority. Some of you are in the presence
-
of peace and all you're doing is thinking right now.
-
You think too much instead of instead of aligning with the
-
room aligning with the word of God.
-
And if somebody told me today I give you the keys back to your
-
sanity. I can't sit still.
-
Some of y'all been struggling with depression.
-
I can see it on you. Some of you been struggling with
-
anxiety. I see it on you.
-
Some of you got secrets in your closet.
-
I see it on you and then God says no.
-
We going to end the year with peace.
-
Watch this. Give me my phone.
-
Give me my phone. Somebody the other day, somebody
-
sent to me the other day. I promise you I never have in my
-
life planned the whole year of what I'm going to preach,
-
somebody texted. Me the other day.
-
And I said, oh. My God, can you?
-
Can you give me? Oh, there we go.
-
Hey PT, I was re watching New Year's Eve service from last
-
year and you said something that hit me especially after the word
-
on Sunday. You said the person chosen to
-
build the House of God has to be named Peace.
-
It was based off one Chronicles 22 Five.
-
Put it up and we'll close. I said, good God Almighty, we
-
ended last year saying the person ordained to build God a
-
house has to be a person of peace, not just a peacemaker.
-
You actually inhabit peace. And here we are, end of the year
-
ending on peace as we go from pioneer to builder.
-
The way you harness peace is you got to be shaken, David said.
-
My son Solomon is young and inexperienced in the house to be
-
built for the Lord should be of great magnificence and fame and
-
splendor in the sight of all the nations.
-
Therefore I will make preparations for it.
-
So David made extensive preparations before his death.
-
Look, I'm telling y'all, I'm not making preparations before my
-
death. We building this thing.
-
Somebody else prepared and they did.
-
I ain't doing that, OK? I'm here.
-
I'm building this thing. We building this thing just just
-
to make sure you understand where we at in the story.
-
Then he called for his son Solomon.
-
I had it in my heart, son, to build a house for the name of
-
the Lord my God. And he called for his son
-
Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the Lord.
-
David said to Solomon, My son had it in my heart.
-
But this word of the Lord came to me.
-
You have shed much blood and have fought many wars.
-
You are not to build a house for my name, because you have shed
-
much blood on the earth in my sight.
-
Watch this. But you will have a son who will
-
be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all
-
his enemies. Who is him?
-
Peace will give him rest from all his enemies.
-
Watch this on every side. My greatest test is to stay in
-
him. His name will be Solomon and I
-
will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
-
I wasn't when I when I came up with the name Love Quest,
-
ChatGPT wasn't out. We went to the Lord love quest
-
is not. Some cool thing actually caused
-
some confusion love quest. God is entrusting us to build
-
because there is a level of peace that he is equipping us to
-
walk in in these last days. So if we're going to be a.
-
Davidic people, peace has to be. Your name and come to find out
-
he told us New Year's Eve and if y'all going to build my house,
-
peace going to have to be your name.
-
So it makes sense of great purging before entrance, because
-
peace, it has to be sifted. Love has to be tested before we
-
go over for what he's about to do over there.
-
So I submit to you, Lovequest, that peace is not just yours.
-
If you are part of this house, if you are Kingdom citizen,
-
peace is your assignment stewarded.
-
Be hungry for it. Guard it.
-
Speak it, be it. Embody it, live it, Reflect it,
-
carry it. Because there are going to be
-
people that walk in this house with great storms, but when they
-
walk in this house with great storms, the peace in this house
-
will overcome any storm a person walks in here with.
-
Because the Prince of Peace reigns in all of our lives.
-
Lift your hands right where you are.
-
We have to get this clearly. It is something that God needs
-
us to embody before we cross into next year.
-
A person that lives in peace is a person of great stewardship.
-
Speaking of me personally, I will no longer going into the
-
next year, allow any storm to relocate me, to unalign me with
-
all my heart. I am committed to guarding my
-
peace and I pray that there's a few more of you in here that is
-
not only committed to guarding my peace, your peace, but you're
-
willing to be someone who guards others peace.
-
Take that messiness out of your mouth, Take that complaining out
-
of your mouth and be a person that brings peace, not stirs of
-
storms. Lift your hands, just say it's
-
minds. Come on, say it's minds one more
-
time. Say it's minds.
-
Look at your neighbor and say three times it is yours.
