  1. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

  3. church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

  7. some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

  9. Love Quests As we journey today, I need you to prepare yourself

  10. for allowing the Spirit of God to take you deep within and

  11. impart the greatest gift on earth and on this side of your

  12. salvation. Precisely speaking, the greatest

  13. battle in your life right now is not around you.

  14. It's within you. And when Jesus says take the

  15. plank out of our eyes, he is not merely Speaking of fleeing

  16. judgmentalism or having a critical spirit, but what he is

  17. saying is we cannot continue to afford to minimize and ignore

  18. the storms and sewage that is waging in our own souls.

  19. The enemy is not after our money.

  20. No, no, no. He's not after our job.

  21. He's not after our reputation. The enemy's not after your

  22. status or even your relationships.

  23. He's like you can had at he's after your peace.

  24. Because the one who controls your peace also is the one who

  25. controls your pace. The one who controls your peace

  26. is the one who controls your perspective.

  27. The one who controls your peace is the one who controls your

  28. decisions. And the one who controls your

  29. peace is also the one who controls your destiny.

  30. But but I need you to listen. You cannot win a spiritual

  31. battle with an unstable or diseased or tormented mind.

  32. You cannot traverse in purpose with a chaotic soul.

  33. You cannot teach divine reach divine destiny and establish

  34. legacy with an uncovered inner world.

  35. So we see why Jesus did not say, I give you strategies, I give

  36. you motivation, even I give you positive vibes.

  37. No, that's not what he said. He said, and John penned, my

  38. peace I give to you, because peace is not passive, peace is

  39. power. Peace is not calm, peace is

  40. catastrophic to hell. Peace is not relaxation.

  41. Peace is a revolution of order. Yes, I said revolution of order.

  42. Peace overthrows chaos, peace dismantles disorder, and peace

  43. is a holy uprising that restores divine order.

  44. I want to put hell on notice today and prophecy over you that

  45. you are not losing your mind, you're just listen to the other

  46. part. You're just losing what was

  47. never meant to live in your mind.

  48. Now you can say Amen. Anxiety is being evicted today,

  49. fear is being subdued today, torment is being eradicated

  50. today, depression is being derailed today, and chaos is

  51. being evacuated off the premises of your mind today.

  52. Not just today, but right now. Somebody say right now, because

  53. the King did not just come to save your soul, he came to

  54. stabilize your mind today. I'm not just positive that

  55. there's a word that is going to change your life in the house

  56. right now, but I am convinced, convicted and compelled to

  57. believe that there's a transfer on the horizon between heaven

  58. and earth today, and it's in the house.

  59. It's a transfer of peace, a transfer of clarity, a transfer

  60. of stability, and a transfer of divine rest.

  61. So, so, so I need you to declare with some authority today that

  62. my mind is not a war zone, but my mind is where heaven abides.

  63. Come on. Amen, Amen.

  64. Amen. Today, hey, I am here to talk to

  65. you from a topic called Peace of Mind.

  66. Not Peace of Mind, but Peace of Mind.

  67. Jesus is saying Peace of Mind, the Peace of Mind, my peace,

  68. Peace of Mind. And a few weeks ago we started

  69. talking about we all here. Remember that somebody say we

  70. all here. The week after that we started

  71. talking about what? And then the week after that we

  72. started talking about what? And today it's Peace of Mind.

  73. And the declaration is we shall not be moved.

  74. Somebody speak that over there self and say, I shall not be

  75. moved, right? That that is Ephesians 4 where

  76. he says he sends pastors and apostles and evangelists and

  77. teachers and and and and and and he he sends these gifts to the

  78. body. And one of the reasons is so you

  79. stop wavering. So you stop wavering.

  80. How long are you going to be between chance, gusting wind,

  81. between two decisions? The Lord encourages you make

  82. one. John 14 says peace.

  83. I leave with you my own peace, my own peace.

  84. Peace I now give and bequeath to you.

  85. When you see highlighted stuff, I'm trying to highlight

  86. something. Peace I leave with you, my own

  87. peace I leave with you now. I give it to you and bequeath it

  88. to you. Not as this world gives do I

  89. give to you. Do not let your hearts be

  90. troubled. You don't let your heart be

  91. troubled. Your troubled heart is because

  92. you let me be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

  93. He didn't say comfort. I leave you no strength.

  94. I leave you no calm. I leave you no stop allowing

  95. yourselves to be agitated. You agitated because you

  96. allowing yourself and disturbed. You disturbed because you

  97. allowing yourself to be disturbed and do not permit

  98. yourselves to be fearful. You're fearful because you gave

  99. yourself permission to be fearful and intimidated.

  100. You're intimidated because you gave yourself reason to be

  101. intimidated and cowardly. You are a coward because you

  102. gave yourself permission to be a coward and unsettled.

  103. You allowed yourself to be unsettled.

  104. I leave you peace. The scripture says I leave peace

  105. with you. So if peace ain't with you, you

  106. the one lost it 'cause I left it with you.

  107. If you got kids, this is a conversation in the house.

  108. Where did the keys go? I left them with you.

  109. Where did the money go? I left it with you.

  110. I put it in. I know I put that money in your

  111. account. Where did it go?

  112. And like a lot of kids, we make excuses.

  113. Well, it's like, wait, Adam, where are you?

  114. I know where I left you and I know the mental state I left you

  115. in. I am asking you where you at

  116. because clearly you don't know where I left you.

  117. OK, I leave you peace. And this word leave means to

  118. bequeath, to transfer, and to pass down.

  119. Watch this. Jesus is saying I am writing my

  120. will. It's John 14, I am writing my

  121. will, and peace is the first thing with your name on it.

  122. Not as the world gives, but the world's peace is through

  123. pleasure, avoidance, escape, control, substances, sedation.

  124. That's the world's peace. It's very conditional.

  125. There's things you got to do to get it and if you got it that

  126. way, you got to keep it that way.

  127. So if I got peace from avoiding something, guess what I got to

  128. keep doing avoiding. If I had to be sedated to get

  129. peace, guess what I got to keep doing?

  130. Being sedated. If I use the substance to get

  131. peace, guess what? I got to keep doing substance.

  132. Same thing with Jesus. You can't just be coming in and

  133. out of church and think you're going to keep the peace and the

  134. love and the joy that God gave you when you constantly in and

  135. out. I if I'm a stay high, I got to

  136. keep on smoking, right Y'all? I'm making it practical for you

  137. because we got smokers in here, drinkers in here, porners in

  138. here, we got all kind of stuff in here.

  139. So I'm trying to make it practical.

  140. The same way you stay faithful to your vices is the same way

  141. you need to stay faithful to Jesus.

  142. Not as the world gives, but the Kingdom's peace is through

  143. truth, alignment, faith, love, wholeness, presence, and

  144. identity. Say keep going PT.

  145. Keep going PT right the enemy's tactics.

  146. The enemy cannot steal your salvation, so he targets your

  147. sanity. And most of us in here spend

  148. part of our day trying to not lose it versus living in

  149. victory. So I'm avoiding a conversation

  150. because I'm going to lose it. I'm I'm, I'm walking on the

  151. other side of the mall because if I see you and I let you see

  152. me, I'm going to lose it. The enemy can't steal your

  153. salvation, so he targets your sanity, the war for peace.

  154. He attacks your thought patterns, your focus, your

  155. identity, your rest, your rhythms, your boundaries, and

  156. yourself. Perception Here it is again.

  157. He attacks the enemy. Hell attacks your thought

  158. patterns. He attacks your focus, he

  159. attacks your identity, he attacks your rest, he attacks

  160. your rhythms, he attacks your boundaries, and he attacks

  161. yourself. Perception.

  162. Watch this, watch this. This is crazy because just think

  163. about it. Just take one of these thought

  164. patterns. You know, when you really have

  165. an encounter with Jesus, that thought pattern on Jesus that

  166. week of you, you encounter Jesus in such a way you like, I got to

  167. read that scripture again. I got to go with that sermon

  168. again, man, I'm turning off my my I'm I'm getting off

  169. Instagram, right. You create this God like

  170. pattern. He's not look, he's after

  171. disrupting that pattern. So why 3 weeks later, you back

  172. on Instagram, you back in the same rhythm on Instagram, you

  173. cussing again, but you had a pattern of holding your tongue.

  174. He's after your patterns because watch this, your patterns are

  175. gates. OK, we're going to keep it

  176. pushing. We're going to keep it pushing.

  177. We're going to keep it pushing. We're going to keep it.

  178. These things that I'm talking about are gates.

  179. If I could disrupt your rhythm, I get access.

  180. If I can disrupt your boundaries, I get access.

  181. If I can disrupt yourself perception, if I can disrupt

  182. you, if I can tweak your identity, I get access.

  183. Why? Because peace is the believers

  184. most dangerous weapon. When you have peace, you hear

  185. God clearly, you obey quickly, you love freely.

  186. Just think of a double mind. I can't obey quickly when I'm

  187. stuck between two decisions thoughts, right?

  188. The reason I can't make a decision quickly is because I

  189. don't have peace. You, you hear God clearly.

  190. You obey quickly. See.

  191. See if I can disrupt your peace, I can get you to delay God's

  192. word. See, I if I can get you to

  193. delay, delay obedience, then I always have access.

  194. Access. Right?

  195. Watch this. A decisive decision creates

  196. separation between the enemy's plans and God's plans.

  197. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you love freely when you have

  198. peace, you resist temptation easier when you have peace and

  199. effectively when you have peace. You walk boldly when you have

  200. peace and you discern attacks early when you have peace and

  201. you sleep deeply. Some of y'all need some sleep,

  202. not Tylenol. You need peace, not Advil,

  203. right? And that's why we that's why we

  204. smoke. We're just looking for a sense

  205. of peace. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  206. This is going to be a good day for some of us.

  207. So, so, so, so, so, so, so as we approach John 14 and we got to

  208. look at some context, OK? We are approaching the upper

  209. Room, and we need to remember who is pinning the story in John

  210. 14. This is not Jesus writing this,

  211. this is John witnessing this and recording this.

  212. But it's very important to understand the state of mind

  213. that John is having and how he's perceiving Jesus.

  214. John wasn't just a disciple, he was the one who stuck close to

  215. Jesus. He heard Jesus's heartbeat.

  216. He laid on his chest. He saw great Jesus's greatest

  217. moments of vulnerability. He saw Jesus cry.

  218. He saw his divinity and humanity without flinching.

  219. And John wasn't just close to Jesus in life.

  220. Watch this. He was the one disciple who

  221. clinged close to Jesus at the cross.

  222. When the rest of the gang distanced themselves and ran,

  223. John remained standing in the shadow of a crucified Savior who

  224. trusted him enough to say, behold your mother, what you

  225. talking about? Jesus is up on the cross.

  226. He looks down at John. He looks down at his mother.

  227. And he said, hey, take care of my mom.

  228. That's Jesus and John right there.

  229. John remained standing in the shadow of a crucified Savior who

  230. trusted him enough to say, behold, your mother left.

  231. He left him the responsibility to care for Mary as his own

  232. Mama. Watch this.

  233. John writes differently because he loved differently.

  234. John writes differently because he listened differently.

  235. So when John records what happened the night Jesus spoke

  236. peace, He isn't giving U.S. history.

  237. He's delivering to us intimacy. He's welcoming us into the room

  238. where peace itself set and peace spoke.

  239. And I can only imagine that room that night.

  240. It was very heavy. It was one of the weightiest and

  241. most intense nights in the entire ministry of Jesus.

  242. The room was restless. The tension was thick and every

  243. disciple experiencing something in the air, something they

  244. didn't yet have language for. Watch this.

  245. This is in John 13, where Jesus exposes who's about to betray

  246. him. Peter leaned over who man who?

  247. Who about to do this? He said, the one, I'm about to

  248. dip this bread and I'm going to hand it to him.

  249. That's the one that's going to do it.

  250. And then Jesus looks at him. He says make sure you do it

  251. quick, betray me quick. We got to get to this cross

  252. because the quicker you could betray me the quicker I can set

  253. y'all free. The quicker you betray me the

  254. quicker I can get on to the next dimension of purpose.

  255. So go on and go on. Ahead and betray me.

  256. Just do it quick. Do it quiet, do it quick.

  257. Give it over with. Watch this peace saw it coming.

  258. It wasn't just he read it. In a scroll, his peace allowed

  259. him to not get the word on his life.

  260. Distorted. Yeah.

  261. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  262. Because minutes earlier they watch Judas vanish into the

  263. night, not just dismissing himself from the table, but

  264. Judas dismissed itself from covenant, from mission, and from

  265. Jesus. John, arrest our attention with

  266. four marquee words. Watch this.

  267. And it was night. Yeah, it was PM, but what they

  268. were about to read in their DMS was about to cause them to cry

  269. out these famous words. Lord help my unbelief.

  270. Yeah, and it was night. It was not merely a moment

  271. marker. It was not this like, hey, this

  272. what time it is. This was a prophetic diagnosis.

  273. It was, yes, night PM, but it was also night in the

  274. atmosphere, night in their minds, night in their hearts.

  275. Anybody ever been there? No matter how nice it was

  276. outside, on the inside it felt like night and it felt like no

  277. son was nowhere around. This moment is often referred to

  278. as the farewell discourse. Jesus looks into the eyes of the

  279. 11 and speaks 3 devastating truths. 3 devastating truths.

  280. Watch this before Jesus speaks. Peace he unveils #1 betrayal.

  281. One of you will betray me. This is all John 13 before 1427.

  282. One of you will betray me #2 his departure.

  283. He says we've walked together for these 3 1/2 years, but where

  284. I'm about to go next, you can't come Now.

  285. This can preach about purpose because when God calls you to a

  286. new dimension, some folks just ain't called to go with you.

  287. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then #3 Peter's denial

  288. before morning, you will deny me.

  289. Can you imagine being in this room?

  290. That's three big announcements, just one of them.

  291. You pick either one. It's devastating.

  292. They're all thinking, oh, my God, our strongest disciple will

  293. fall. Our leader is departing from us,

  294. and our circle is scattering. This is where it all falls

  295. apart. This is the emotional soil that

  296. John 14 descends on. The emotional soil is filled

  297. with seeds of emotional collapse, seeds of uncertainty,

  298. seeds of anxiety, and their faith is distressed, their

  299. identity is disoriented, their future is discomposed, and their

  300. emotions are disquieted. In John 14, Jesus is not

  301. speaking to calm disciples. He is addressing shaken men.

  302. And before fear can seek deep and take root, and before

  303. confusion can scatter and and shatter them, and before the

  304. enemy can mobilize and weaponize their anxiety, Jesus interrupts

  305. their unraveling with a command. Let not your heart be troubled,

  306. he says. Let not your heart be agitated,

  307. stirred up by trouble. Let let not your heart be so

  308. troubled deeply, and let not your heart be disturbed.

  309. That's John 14. One, He is not soothing them, He

  310. is recalibrating them. He is not ignoring their fear.

  311. He is confronting their fear and but prophetically, something way

  312. deeper is formulated. Jesus is not preparing them for

  313. relaxation. He's not preparing them for

  314. vacation. He's not preparing them for a

  315. smoke session. He's not preparing them to get a

  316. little wine cooler. Watch this.

  317. He is preparing them for the hardest night of their lives.

  318. Watch this. To deal with your greatest

  319. storms, you will have to learn how to be greatly sober.

  320. To deal with your greatest storms, you will have to learn

  321. how to be greatly sober. And I'm not just talking about

  322. drugs and alcohol. I'm talking about what you

  323. watching greatly sober where you put your love greatly sober.

  324. The relationship's greatly sober.

  325. A person that has idols is an intoxicated person.

  326. Some of y'all don't drink, don't smoke, but you intoxicated by

  327. the love of money. He's preparing them for the

  328. hardest night of their lives. So he knows what is coming.

  329. He knows the Roman Sanhedrin led by Judas is approaching the

  330. garden, the place of crushing and the olive press is waiting.

  331. The cross is drawing near. There's trauma about to shake

  332. and grip their lives and their families lives.

  333. The shame Peter is about to carry, the scattering of the

  334. disciples, the silence of Saturday, the confusion of

  335. resurrection morning and the spiritual warfare intensifying

  336. around them. Now some of you, I just felt my

  337. spirit of like the, the, the, the, the, the silence of

  338. Saturday. That just remember, you know,

  339. Good Friday and then he he got up.

  340. So Saturday is that in between day for all you Bible readers

  341. who've been at every Easter and know about Saturday.

  342. That's what I'm talking about. The silence of Saturday.

  343. All this he's preparing them for.

  344. And before the storm hits, Jesus releases what will keep them

  345. through it all. Somebody say peace.

  346. I love how y'all said that. Very peaceful.

  347. Yeah. This is not ordinary peace.

  348. This is not brittle peace. This is not contingent peace.

  349. It is his peace. So when we finally, when he

  350. finally says watch it, when he finally says peace I leave with

  351. you, my peace I give to you, he is not offering comfort.

  352. He is transferring capacity. He is transferring capacity.

  353. He is releasing. He is releasing the very

  354. atmosphere that has to sustain him in every dimension of his

  355. assignment. In warfare, his peace, In

  356. pressure, peace, In betrayal, peace, In suffering peace, In

  357. leadership, peace, in destiny peace.

  358. This is why the Kingdom of darkness wars for your peace,

  359. because your peace is not a feeling, it is a weapon.

  360. It is a mantle and the peace of God is the evidence that the

  361. Kingdom is governing your mind. The peace of God is evidence

  362. that the Kingdom is governing your mind.

  363. So the Lord says today something about today.

  364. You won't walk into this next dimension shaking and

  365. shattering. You will step and stand in my

  366. peace. You won't merely survive, you

  367. will surge with victorious triumph.

  368. You will not break. You will be kept.

  369. This is not an emotional sedation.

  370. This is Kingdom impartation. This is not sentimental

  371. language. This is covenant language.

  372. This is not Jesus saying, I hope you calm down.

  373. This is Jesus declaring and decreeing and establishing.

  374. I am giving you the atmosphere of heaven to carry you into your

  375. OR assignment as more than a conqueror.

  376. And prophetically the Spirit says lift your hands.

  377. You are stepping into victories that require my firm foundation,

  378. not your intellectual understanding.

  379. You are facing giants that fall not by might nor by power, but

  380. by my peace that refuses to bow to fear and move in frustration,

  381. birth by impatience. My peace is not past massive, it

  382. is your spiritual posture. My peace is not fragile, it is

  383. dismantling anxiety, it breaks torment and it disarms the

  384. enemy. So when we open John 1427 today

  385. we are not reading a kind suggested verse.

  386. We are receiving a divine transfer.

  387. Jesus here is dealing with their fears.

  388. Jesus is dealing with their fears while pointing to their

  389. inheritance, right. We see the Father, the Son, and

  390. the Holy Spirit is working together.

  391. He's showing that the Father prepares.

  392. John 14, one through 11, the Father prepares.

  393. He's unveiling that the Son reveals, and He is promising

  394. that the Spirit will comfort and teach.

  395. Watch this. He is establishing here divine

  396. order in their inner world. He's establishing order within.

  397. Some of y'all have the neatest houses, but the most chaotic,

  398. mind you. Some of y'all fight over your

  399. spouse cleaning up more than you fight for your own peace.

  400. I'm gonna say it again. I'm gonna say it again.

  401. Some of y'all fight with your spouse about doing chores when

  402. you ain't even maintained your own peace.

  403. Yeah, it's quiet. It's quiet in here.

  404. It's well, Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quiet in here.

  405. But the baby heard me. The baby heard me.

  406. The baby's hurt me. The baby's hurt me.

  407. Watch this. The the the the father prepares.

  408. So that means that I can stand and believe the final outcome is

  409. covered and conquered. Yeah, the sun reveals.

  410. So that means I can stand and believe as we go through what we

  411. as we go through, we are not alone and we have an

  412. inheritance. Watch this.

  413. And an identity and the Spirit comforts and teaches.

  414. So that means that I can stand and believe The same Spirit that

  415. raised Jesus from the dead is a sign to carry you.

  416. Carry me and you through the mission.

  417. Hallelujah. I say this to you.

  418. Peace is the fruit of Trinitarian activity.

  419. Can I get smarter for a moment? Can I, can I be smarter for a

  420. moment? Yeah, Peace is the fruit of

  421. Trinitarian activity for those that are really smart.

  422. I did not misspelled peace, I spelled it right backwards.

  423. Hallelujah. Peace is the fruit of

  424. Trinitarian activity, which simply means in here that the

  425. Father ordains peace, the Son secures peace, and the Spirit

  426. applies peace. Come on, say the Trinity is that

  427. work. Watch this.

  428. Peace is the overflow of the entire Trinity working on my

  429. behalf. Peace is the overflow of the

  430. entire Trinity working on my behalf.

  431. If you knew what God had to do to get you His peace, you would

  432. be a little bit more grateful if you understood the mountains

  433. that God had to move, right? Because the Trinity has at work,

  434. sometime He will abruptly snatch people out your life just so he

  435. can give you what? Peace.

  436. Peace is not a human achievement.

  437. Peace is the Father's desire for you.

  438. Peace I leave with you. Not counterfeit peace.

  439. Counterfeit peace. Watch this culture.

  440. I'm coming for you. Vancouver.

  441. OK. Coming for you Canada.

  442. Culture sold you substitutes of peace because the world taught

  443. us counterfeits and society shaped false expectations.

  444. Got that? Got that peace I leave with you.

  445. This is a legal inheritance language used in ancient Jewish

  446. wills and covenants. This peace is not optional.

  447. This peace is not circumstantial.

  448. This peace is not based on emotional stability.

  449. Watch this. Peace is a covenant bequeatho.

  450. It permanently transfers permanently transfers

  451. permanently transfers. It permanently transfers.

  452. Watch. Even when you leave peace on the

  453. table, peace stays on the table, right?

  454. It permanently transfers. I could ask every person in

  455. here, what's your excuse for not having peace?

  456. It ain't God because he says my peace.

  457. I'll leave with you. Watch this.

  458. I love Elder John. That he left me his peace

  459. because his peace can't be taken by evil.

  460. The devil don't have access to his peace, but he does have

  461. access to my peace. Because my my peace is always

  462. connected to something temporary and monetary.

  463. So my peace built on money. All all the enemy got to do is

  464. attack my finances or get me worried about money.

  465. So I'm always working so much to make sure I keep this money that

  466. I don't got no time for God. So I got God mean I'm going to

  467. heaven, but I don't got I don't got heaven on earth, though.

  468. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  469. I love this. I love the gospel.

  470. You don't earn peace. You don't qualify for peace.

  471. I'm telling you, You don't qualify for peace and you don't

  472. build peace. You inherit peace.

  473. You don't inherit, right. Watch this.

  474. This is the good news. What if you told a non believer

  475. this good news versus saying you're going to hell if you

  476. don't come? Yeah.

  477. You don't earn peace. You don't qualify for peace.

  478. You don't build peace, you inherit peace.

  479. Say my inheritance. Watch this.

  480. It's my piece, he says. Not a piece, not some piece, not

  481. one day you'll have piece. The exact essence and the very

  482. internal stability of Christ himself is the piece we're

  483. talking about. This is the mind of Christ.

  484. This is the same peace that kept him calm on the cross.

  485. This is the same peace that allowed him to shut his mouth

  486. and not say I didn't do nothing. This was the same peace that

  487. allowed him to not have to prove himself, but let himself be

  488. misunderstood. This is the same peace that gave

  489. his money to someone he knew was going to betray.

  490. But I'm not worried about the money.

  491. I'm worried about the soul. So I got peace.

  492. I don't care if my enemies hold my money.

  493. The enemy can have my money, but he can't have my peace.

  494. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My wife can be whatever, but she

  495. can't have my My kids can be whatever, but she can't have my

  496. peace. My husband can be whatever, but

  497. he can't have my peace. Yeah, yeah.

  498. Y'all give y'all peace, y'all prostitute y'all peace all day.

  499. And if the shoe, I'm saying y'all because I'm talking to

  500. everybody. And if the shoe fit, wear it.

  501. If it don't, Hallelujah. My piece is not emotional

  502. relief. My piece is not a concept, My

  503. peace is not the absence of problems.

  504. This is Jesus talking to us. He says my peace is not a quiet

  505. schedule, my peace is not a still room, My peace ain't when

  506. the kids go to sleep, my peace ain't a relaxing environment,

  507. and my peace ain't a trouble free week.

  508. That's your peace, my peace. Watch this.

  509. He had storms, he had crowds, he had pressure, he had betrayal.

  510. Yet he walked with what? I'm gonna wait till you stop

  511. clapping because you some of y'all be clapping and when I'm

  512. saying something to other people, then clap.

  513. Be a distract. Watch it.

  514. I love when people clap. Trust me, I love when people

  515. clap. But but watch this I want to

  516. repeat. Yet he will.

  517. He walked with perfect what? Peace.

  518. Watch this for all y'all. That's like, oh, I need that.

  519. You wonder why God ain't allowed you to get a vacation in all the

  520. chaos. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  521. He had storms, me too. He had crowds, me too.

  522. He had pressure, He had betrayal.

  523. Yet he walked with perfect peace.

  524. His peace is internal, not external.

  525. Watch this. If peace depended on

  526. circumstances, Jesus would have never had it.

  527. My peace is not silence. My peace is not a quiet place or

  528. a muted moment. Hey, turn the music down.

  529. Nothing happening is not peace happening.

  530. Right, right, right. I want to have peace and chaos

  531. and peace in Italy. Watch this because some of us

  532. can't really enjoy Italy because Italy is Lord, but when the Lord

  533. you got peace and chaos, you'll actually experience Italy at a

  534. way crazier level. All right, all right, can't wait

  535. to go back to Italy. Watch this because peace is not

  536. the absence of sound, it's the presence of Christ.

  537. Silence can be numbing, but it is not healing.

  538. A quiet room does not fix a loud soul.

  539. My peace is not being introverted, it's not being soft

  540. spoken, it's not being easygoing.

  541. And my peace is not me being unbothered.

  542. You can be loud, watch this and still have peace.

  543. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Right?

  544. I, I, I've never, I've never been.

  545. If there's never been such an attempt on my loudness, then

  546. when I cross this border, right, somehow loud is Pentecostal.

  547. Know What if loud was peace just wrapped in this little culture

  548. over here, But somehow you think because you quiet you got more

  549. peace than me? No.

  550. Maybe my praise and my radicalness represent how much

  551. peace I really got. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  552. You can be expressive and still have peace.

  553. You can be intense and still have peace.

  554. Peace is not a temperament. Peace is a transformation.

  555. Hallelujah. My peace is not yoga.

  556. My, my. Peace is not meditation.

  557. My my. Peace is not a vibe and my peace

  558. is not amazing energy, right? My peace is not an amazing, it's

  559. not an amazing energy. Watch this.

  560. Stretches. They relax the body, but they do

  561. not restore the spirit. Stretches.

  562. They calm your nervous system, but they cannot cover your mind

  563. like the blood of Jesus. Thank God for stretches, thank

  564. God for self-care, and thank God for deep breaths.

  565. Shout out to Tava, they're doing a phenomenal job.

  566. But watch this. But none, yeah, no, no.

  567. But none of these can anchor a soul, right?

  568. Right. None of these can anchor your

  569. soul. None of these can anchor your

  570. soul. And you get you, you hear me?

  571. Stretches and self-care and deep breaths.

  572. They can reset your emotions, but they cannot rebuke your

  573. enemies in the name of Jesus. Now.

  574. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, Demon ain't going nowhere,

  575. right? Demon got you being seductive

  576. with your stretching. Hallelujah.

  577. Yeah, yeah. Peace.

  578. Watch this. Peace is not a technique.

  579. Peace is a person. Come on.

  580. Peace is a person. Peace is a person.

  581. Peace is a person. So even when the yoga studio is

  582. closed, guess what? I still got peace.

  583. When I'm laying in bed, I got peace.

  584. If I get caught up in some mess, I got peace.

  585. If the plane is shaking too much, I got peace.

  586. If somebody got a gun to your head, you got peace, right?

  587. Peace ain't nine to five. Peace ain't a bunch of commas.

  588. Peace ain't acres. Peace is a person.

  589. My peace is not the absence of conflict.

  590. Peace did not leave because conflict arrived.

  591. No, no, no, no, no, no. Watch this.

  592. Sometimes the battle is evidence you finally stepped into peace.

  593. Yeah, I said it this morning. The reason people leaving you is

  594. because they didn't know they was on an assignment or would be

  595. used for an assignment. And them leaving you is a sign

  596. that the enemy cycles are up because the moment you got a

  597. whole hell got threatened. Yeah.

  598. Peace is not fragile. Peace is not passive.

  599. Peace does not panic when war shows up.

  600. Real peace has authority. Remember, real peace tells the

  601. storm to shut up. My my peace is not a void dance.

  602. It it my. Peace does not.

  603. Peace does not. Dance around the issue.

  604. Do you know when you dance around the issue, it actually

  605. steals more peace? You ever talking to somebody and

  606. they dance around the issue? Like, man, just say what you're

  607. trying to say, right? You this is stressful.

  608. Just say what you're trying to say, right?

  609. That's what I love about being being back home and.

  610. There's some people here, but I love being back home because at

  611. least you know where people stand.

  612. I don't, but here man, I'm just like, Oh my God, why people?

  613. They just walk out the back door.

  614. They don't, they don't say why, they don't say why.

  615. They they make excuse. It's just like.

  616. They send you texting. You, you know what I'm saying?

  617. And it's like, no, where I'm from, man, my Mama come in the

  618. room and be like, I don't like you, right?

  619. The the drug, the drug addicts is out there.

  620. The pimp is out there, the dopey like at the end of the day.

  621. Call it what you want to, but, but, but I would say the

  622. sneakiness and the passivity and the denial.

  623. It's more dangerous than those. That's just keeping it real.

  624. And just like this is me, I'm struggling with me.

  625. I'm not hiding it. This is what it is.

  626. It's avoidance, but also it's avoidance.

  627. It doesn't dance around the issue.

  628. Avoiding people, avoiding conversations and avoiding

  629. responsibilities is not peace. It's emotional evasion.

  630. Peace does not hide. Peace does not run.

  631. Peace does not retreat. Peace does not waver.

  632. Watch this. Jesus was in in front of people.

  633. That was like bro you but you actually breaking the law.

  634. For real though. He was like.

  635. Hurry up, hurry up, because they come in.

  636. He sat there and because he had peace, Heaven gave him an answer

  637. that caused people to drop these stones.

  638. You want revelation, you want the mind of Christ, you want to

  639. hear from God anytime. Watch this.

  640. If somebody is teaching a How to hear from God conference and

  641. they don't cover peace, don't pay registration because the

  642. moment you don't have peace, you don't have.

  643. Clarity. So a lot of your hearing God is

  644. mixed with your emotions. Avoiding people, avoiding

  645. conversations, avoiding responsibilities is not peace.

  646. It's emotional evasion. Peace does not hide.

  647. Peace does not run. Peace does not retreat.

  648. Peace does not waver. Peace gives you the strength to.

  649. Face what fear told you to avoid.

  650. I'm going to say that one more time.

  651. Somebody cleared, they thrown on that last part.

  652. Peace gives you the strength to face what fear told you to

  653. avoid. That's a very important thing.

  654. Peace, fear is always telling you to avoid it.

  655. Now, I'm not giving you an excuse to just run your mouth

  656. and run your mouth and just deal with everything because that's

  657. not even wisdom. But peace gives you the strength

  658. to face what fear has told you to avoid, but God told you to

  659. embrace. Watch this.

  660. It's His peace. My piece is not when the stars

  661. align and you know people are like all the ducks in the row or

  662. or all going my way. You know you can get the ducks

  663. in the row, then have a kid. Then when your kid is born you

  664. got all the ducks in the row, but then your wife leave or you

  665. got all your ducks in the row. Watch this you got all your

  666. ducks in the row and and now you got all your ducks in the row so

  667. y'all can start a family. Then your kid come but then it

  668. dies but you got ducks but you don't got a child.

  669. Peace is proactive. You can't get this peace.

  670. Once the storm hit and you avoided the peace all the time

  671. before watch this, they was walking with peace.

  672. Then the storm came. They thought peace.

  673. I was trying to leave him dead. OK, let me Jesus was in the boat

  674. with the disciple now, but not everybody here.

  675. Jesus was in the boat with the disciples and the disciple.

  676. Jesus would sleep in the storm. And then the disciples saw Jesus

  677. sleep and they was like, bro, you don't care.

  678. Are we about to die? They didn't know.

  679. They was looking at peace. They didn't know that was Isaiah

  680. 26. He said keep your mind on me and

  681. I'll give you perfect peace. Keep your eyes on me, fixed on

  682. me. So while I'm in the storm with

  683. Jesus, I just need to keep my keep my eyes on Jesus.

  684. I'm not looking at the waves. I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus.

  685. But because watch this, they walked with peace, but when the

  686. storm came, they had no peace. Watch out for those people that

  687. try to disturb your peace because they don't have none and

  688. they mistake your peace for not caring.

  689. You know, I actually am. I actually, I got the spirit of

  690. fear is knocking at my door too. I actually see the problem.

  691. This is very scary, right? I'm in the plane.

  692. We're all experiencing turbulence, all of us.

  693. It's crazy. The plane just went like that.

  694. I felt that. OK, I'm not.

  695. My peace does not deny facts. My peace stares the facts in the

  696. eyes. It just says your turbulence is

  697. not greater than my stability. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  698. So if peace depended on everything working out, then

  699. none of us would ever have peace.

  700. You don't need life to be perfect to walk in peace.

  701. You just need his perfect presence found in his perfect.

  702. His perfect peace found in his perfect presence.

  703. Watch this. Peace is not empty.

  704. Peace is not emotional sedation. Peace is not environment.

  705. Peace is not energy. Peace is.

  706. Not escape. My job to talk about peace for

  707. this next month or so is to talk about peace to Utah.

  708. Hire to peace. But you got peace.

  709. Yeah. Yeah.

  710. Hey, watch this. We don't need to have a series

  711. on relationship goals. You'll have amazing

  712. relationships. If you have peace, you, you get

  713. what I'm saying. You wouldn't jump from job to

  714. job, church to church if you just had peace, you know what

  715. I'm saying? You would not be easily offended

  716. if you just have peace. You wouldn't be worried about

  717. how much money your spouse make if you just had what peace?

  718. Because my spouse is not my provider.

  719. Peace is. Oh see I can't relate because I

  720. thought peace was a thing. I didn't know peace was a

  721. person. Watch this.

  722. Peace is Gyra, peace is Rafa, peace is Yahweh, peace is

  723. Elohim, peace. This is peace, man.

  724. We didn't just cut Jesus to pieces.

  725. It's just like he, Yahweh over there.

  726. He he over there and our prior chaos is we trying to get Jesus

  727. to rally and and come all together.

  728. And we didn't realize that in all it is there's a key that

  729. unlocks it all. He's unlocks it all.

  730. Peace is a person. His name is Jesus.

  731. I think we sang about him today. Only Jesus can rebuke demonic

  732. pressure, or only peace can rebuke demonic pressure.

  733. Only peace can anchor your identity.

  734. Only His peace can govern your emotions.

  735. Only peace can calm the inner storms.

  736. Only peace can stabilize the soul.

  737. Only peace can quiet tormenting thoughts.

  738. Only peace can heal the anxious heart.

  739. Everything else is momentary relief.

  740. Jesus is eternal peace. Peace.

  741. The presence of Jesus. Bible calls him the Prince of

  742. peace. Peace is his authority.

  743. There is no authority without his peace.

  744. Peace is his identity. He is the Prince of Peace.

  745. He is peace. Peace is his nature.

  746. Peace is his nature, the peace. Peace is the peace of his

  747. presence, the Prince of Peace. He's the ruler of wholeness.

  748. Peace is the administrator of harmony and peace is the

  749. governor of divine order. Peace the reigning of Jesus.

  750. Where he is, peace reigns. Peace is not something God gives

  751. apart from himself, He gives it by giving himself.

  752. You can stop playing peace, the wholeness of Jesus.

  753. He will give him perfect peace. Perfect means restored order,

  754. nothing broken, nothing missing, perfect alignment and internal

  755. stability. Watch this peace means restored

  756. order. Watch this.

  757. I don't need to change my furniture around.

  758. I just need to give peace. And maybe if I anchor in peace,

  759. I have a clean house. Hallelujah.

  760. This peace don't mean I can sit in a stanky house and still have

  761. peace. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

  762. That ain't peace because your stanky house is reflecting your

  763. stanky soul. OK, watch this or your stanky

  764. schedule. OK, OK, OK.

  765. We don't like that one. We don't like that.

  766. OK, Peace. Peace.

  767. The whole is right all day we fighting, we we busy working all

  768. day, no time to clean up. And in our marriage we arguing

  769. about how dirty the house is and how dirty we don't have no time

  770. to do this and we don't have no time to do that.

  771. But sometimes you got to say, you know what?

  772. I'm not going to work overtime. I'm going to let, I'm going to

  773. leave that money on the table because I need peace in my

  774. marriage and we need some quality time together and I'm

  775. going to have peace about it. I'm not just going to have a

  776. good time but be regretting I went to work and worked

  777. overtime. I actually need to invest in my

  778. marriage so I can have peace at home.

  779. And you'll be surprised how much multiplication is connected to

  780. the peace of God. Watch this.

  781. All financial fruit is not connected to money.

  782. You'd be surprised how much peace is connected to the favor

  783. of God on your life. You Some people get paid.

  784. Watch this Watch this Watch this Watch this.

  785. Some people get paid for their presence.

  786. I'm talking about these people. Hey, hey, hey, Kardashian.

  787. If you, if you show up to the club around 11:30, sit over in

  788. the corner, just hold the bottle in the air, stay for about an

  789. hour, we'll give you $3,000,000. You'd be surprised what rooms

  790. God would put you in if he could trust you with his peace.

  791. Opportunities aren't always connected to diplomas.

  792. All right, let me keep it pushing.

  793. Peace isn't about everything around you being fixed.

  794. Peace is about everything within you being sealed.

  795. There's just some things I'm not questioning anymore.

  796. I am a child of God. I'm the righteousness of God.

  797. I am the redeemed of the Lord and I say so.

  798. I am the healed and not the sick.

  799. I am blessed coming in, blessed going out.

  800. That is sealed I'm the head and not the tail sealed I am.

  801. I'm blessed in the city and blessed in the field.

  802. Sealed in the name of Jesus, my marriage will work.

  803. Not just work, but it will prosper.

  804. That is sealed. I am a mighty man of God.

  805. That is sealed. I am a good father, that is

  806. sealed. I'm not doubting that anymore.

  807. God is going to get us in that building.

  808. It is sealed. I am going to live in the land

  809. of more than enough, not just park and just enough.

  810. That is sealed. In the name of Jesus.

  811. I have everything it takes to walk in.

  812. Everything God has called me to walk in.

  813. That is sealed in the name of Jesus.

  814. If God be for me, who can be against me?

  815. That is sealed in the name of Jesus.

  816. I have the mind of Christ in the name of Jesus.

  817. It's sealed. It's sealed.

  818. Some of y'all still got got loose keys around you still

  819. wondering you still you still wondering if if I'm saved?

  820. You still juggling if if I if I trust God, will he come through

  821. for me? You still juggling it, so

  822. everywhere you go, you got to put on the costume apiece.

  823. Yeah, you act like you got it together, but on the inside you

  824. are as you got a big as big a storm going on inside of you.

  825. Then Hurricane Katrina, you got hurricanes.

  826. It ain't just raining hard in your soul.

  827. You don't have peace, that's why you constantly trying to keep it

  828. together Mama, you constantly trying to plug holes and that's

  829. not what he died for you for. He's is the stability of Jesus.

  830. It's divinely ordered steadfast stability.

  831. It is storm proof. It is waiver free.

  832. We are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, cannot be

  833. shaken. Divinely ordered, steadfast

  834. stability, storm proof. Waiver.

  835. Free, he says, My peace, I give you his peace Held him together

  836. while Judas betrayed him, Peter denied him, Rome oppressed him,

  842. Peace, the authority of Jesus. Love produced rest.

  843. Filled authority. This is the weapon of peace.

  844. This rest is a weapon. Peace is an active force, not a

  845. mood. Wow.

  846. You mean when I wake up in the morning and I'm just not in the

  847. mood today, I can still carry something that overrides my

  848. mood, so I can remain a blessing everywhere I go?

  849. Some of you don't realize that that door was about to open the

  850. day. You was in a bad mood, but you

  851. guarded your mood more than your peace.

  852. Come on, somebody. And so peace is an active force,

  853. not a mood. Love produced rest field

  854. authority, the weapon of peace. Watch this.

  855. He says this in 2nd Thessalonians 316.

  856. You better get this now. May the Lord of peace, he's the

  857. Lord of peace, the master of peace.

  873. When it cannot move you no matter how many darts it throws.

  874. Look where the scripture. Says whatever house you enter

  875. first say peace. No, no, no, no.

  876. When I go into a house, if there's anything other than

  877. peace, I'm not coming in agreement with it.

  878. So if I got to go with that family member house and they

  879. just be they be doing they just be acting crazy.

  880. I know where I'm going. You know your family When I walk

  881. in peace, how y'all doing in the name of Jesus, I'm carrying

  882. something and they can be over there acting a fool you.

  883. No, no, I'm not asking you to turn the music down.

  884. Uncle can be over there drinking, but if I'm called to

  885. go there, I walk in peace. How you doing?

  890. most chaotic atmosphere. You'll ever walk in?

  891. Somebody say I'm packing. Somebody say I'm packing.

  892. He says whatever house you enter first say peace be to this

  893. household, freedom from all the distresses.

  894. Watch this, Look at what he said.

  895. Peace be to this household, Freedom from all the distresses

  896. in this household that result from sin be with.

  897. See, This is why some of us can't change atmospheres,

  898. because the atmosphere changes us.

  899. So we'll put our authority down would be one of them and then

  900. use Paul's scripture. He became all things.

  901. No, no, no, no. You got to hold your throat.

  902. You got to make choices. Watch this and those that your

  903. shift impacts, you have to communicate to them.

  904. Watch this. Me and my wife and the elders

  905. have been in this conversation with, I'm going to just say some

  906. couples, some couples over the last few months.

  907. And I remember they needed some help with some stuff, with some

  908. relational stuff. And I remember I was on the

  909. initial phone call and I remember coming in and God said

  910. say this. And when I said it, it was like

  911. bop bop, bop bop. This is what y'all need to do.

  912. I said it with conviction. I said it with anointing Boom,

  913. boom, boom boom boom boom, bop, bop, bop, bop bop and.

  914. The elders is on the phone, my wife was on the phone and some

  915. some of the angels was with us on the phone and then bop bop

  916. bop bop bop. And then I said I gotta go love

  917. you guys. Elder's wife stayed on the phone

  918. for another hour. I'm like, I'm done from that

  919. point. I made my mind up.

  920. I released peace and no matter how long.

  921. It took and takes no matter how bad it gets, it didn't get

  922. better. Family state.

  923. They they, they stay with them. Watch this.

  924. But I communicated to to them because my peace is not me

  925. bowing out of something I'm called to.

  926. But I've done my discipleship work.

  927. Therefore I can hand something off to them.

  928. But I got to communicate to them in this next season.

  929. I'm in the group chat but if you don't see me responding, it

  930. ain't because I'm not here to help.

  931. I'm praying watch this, but I'm guarding my peace.

  932. I'm not see some of you got to understand what it takes to

  933. guard your peace. Family, it don't matter.

  934. Communicate to them. You know what?

  935. We talked about this too long. I'm not having this conversation

  936. with you no more. I'm not gossiping with you no

  937. more. I'm not in your marriage.

  938. Sometimes you got to get to the point.

  939. Aside from our daily stuff and plans and stuff, I'm not getting

  940. in this conversation about money no more until we learn how.

  941. If we want to have a conversation, we got to have a

  942. mediator. This is what me this is not me

  943. bowing out of the conversation. This is saying our peace is more

  944. valuable and if we lose our peace, we don't just lose money,

  945. we lose our sanity. So it comes a point where you

  946. got to choose what's most valuable to you.

  947. And I'm here to tell every person in here, I don't care how

  948. much money you got, if you don't have peace, you will not.

  949. This is how you can have millions of dollars and then

  950. kill yourself because Hollywood don't give you peace.

  951. A white a new wife don't give you peace.

  952. A new husband don't give you peace.

  953. A cute little baby don't give you peace.

  955. peace. Another church don't give you

  956. peace. He's like, I don't know.

  969. Peace has authority. Peace has authority, right?

  970. You think of sports, The person that that is called on to take

  971. the last shot isn't necessarily the best athlete, it's the one

  972. who has the most poise. I'll be killing you in practice

  973. but the coach can trust me with three seconds left because I got

  974. more poise. The presence of Jesus lies lose

  975. their grip in the presence of peace, fear lose their boy lose

  976. his voice in the presence of peace, anxiety is bankrupt of

  977. power and in the presence of peace demons have no more

  1099. You see how I dealt with you see, You see that same piece

  1100. that you was like tripping on like who is this man that's able

  1101. to speak to a storm like that? That same piece that you was in

  1115. week, read Philippians 4 seven through 8.

  1116. Peace patrols your mind. Peace blocks intruders.

  1117. Peace intercepts lies, and peace protects our sanity.

  1118. This piece is our inheritance. It's our DNA.

  1119. It's our birthright. It's not our reward.

  1120. This is crazy. This piece is not a reward.

  1121. Watch this. You can't sow for this piece.

  1122. Piece belongs to me. It's mines.

  1123. Sometimes I'll ask my kids, you know, they're eating something

  1124. or Mike is eating some chips or something and I'll be like, can

  1125. I get one? And he'll say no.

  1126. Watch this how you not going to give me some chips I pay for?

  1127. Watch this but but but do not underestimate or miss the

  1128. child's ownership. When's the last time y'all

  1129. shared the peace God gave you with him?

  1130. Every storm the Lord is saying can I get some peace?

  1131. What you saying is Lord give me peace.

  1132. He's like but you got the bag. Have you ever thought in the

  1133. storm Jesus was asking you for peace?

  1134. Like display mirror back to me what I left you.

  1136. I let I gave you the bag of chips.

  1137. I gave you the piece. So why are you asking me?

  1138. It's like if my son would had a whole bag of chips and I had

  1139. some chips and he like, dad, can I get some chips?

  1140. I'm going to say, buddy, I gave you your own chips.

  1141. Out of my own pocket, I bought you some chips and I bought me

  1142. some chips. I had enough money to get me.

  1143. Chips and you chips, God. Heaven has enough peace so all

  1144. his kids got a bag of chips. But how many of his kids in

  1145. storms is like, thank you daddy, you can have some chips, you

  1146. bought them for me. My response is in the storm is

  1147. gratitude because peace you left.

  1148. Me. You actually didn't leave me.

  1149. In the storm, you equipped me for the storm.

  1150. You find me one nugget for y'all go listen to this morning.

  1151. I got a lot further. The peace of the Kingdom

  1152. multiplies as revelation and wisdom of peace increases this

  1153. peace. It's like, let my people.

  1154. Go. So they can worship me.

  1155. He said go to them and ask him for the gold.

  1156. And I didn't ask you. I'm not I'm not handing over the

  1157. gold to you. So you can go make necklace and

  1158. necklaces and rings and have a have a swap meet.

  1159. I am giving you the gold. So when you.

  1160. Get out of Egypt. You can worship me the same way.

  1162. with is the same way peace I leave you so when I let you out

  1163. of them chains. You can worship me.

  1164. Peace is the greatest gold you can ever have.

  1165. And some of us are praising God with so much anxiety, double

  1166. mindedness, franticness, and he says peace, I leave you.

  1167. And so I will speak and declare because I know there's people in

  1168. here that need the spirit, the spirits that are holding you

  1169. back from walking in this peace. I get it, life has happened.

  1170. Life is happening. But I promise you wherever you

  1171. are at in your life, it don't matter where you are, you can be

  1172. in the darkest moment of your life.

  1175. I declare that my mind belongs to the Lord.

  1176. I am not my trauma. I am not my fear.

  1177. I am not my anxiety, I am not my diagnosis.

  1178. I am not my brokenness, I am not my symptoms.

  1179. My mind is blood balt, spirit filled and peace guarded.

  1244. Let every heavy place be lifted. I proclaim freedom in Jesus

  1245. name. I am not tormented, I am not

  1246. overwhelmed. I am not defeated.

  1247. I am not losing my mind, I am not.

  1248. Come on, I am delivered. I am strengthened, I am

  1249. protected, I am grounded. I am safe in God.

  1250. I am covered by peace in the name of Jesus.

  1251. Yeah. Today I receive my new mind.

  1252. Today I receive a new stability. Today I receive a new peace.

  1253. Today I receive a new freedom. My mind is guarded.

  1254. My mind is whole. My mind is healed.

  1255. My mind is at peace. And if that agrees with you, if

  1256. you believe it, if you receive it, give God a shout of praise.

  1257. Come on, lift your hands right where you are.

  1258. Come on, open your mouths right where you are.

  1259. Some of you guys did real good listening.

  1260. But did it stick? What is God stirring in your

  1261. spirit? Where do you need to repent?

  1262. It's yours. It's yours.

  1263. Yeah, it's yours. It's yours.

  1264. It's yours. It's yours.

  1265. It's yours. It's yours.

  1266. It's yours. The governing peace is yours.

  1267. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Today I'm not letting nobody

  1268. steal my peace. I make a deciding decision.

  1269. I make a decision now in the name of Jesus.

  1270. No one can take my peace in the name of Jesus.

  1271. Peace is my stabilizer. Peace is my foundation.

  1272. Peace is my purpose. In the name of Jesus.

  1273. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have the mind of Christ.

  1274. I have the mind of Christ. I have the mind of Christ.

  1275. This is the good news. This is the good news.

  1276. The devil thought he had me, but peace overwhelmed me.

  1277. In the name of Jesus, the devil is under my feet, not because

  1278. I'm powerful, but because peace is most powerful.

  1279. The devil is defeated not because of some trick or

  1280. something I've done, or not because I'm so anointed, but I

  1281. have peace. In the name of Jesus, the

  1282. devil's plans are cancelled because peace's plans have taken

  1283. space up in my life. I declare in the name of Jesus,

  1284. I give the territory of my mind back to peace.

  1285. I give my vocabulary, Larry, back to peace.

  1286. I give my conversations back to peace.

  1287. I give my thinking back to peace.

  1288. I give my dreams back to peace. I give my finances back to

  1289. peace. Back to peace we go.

  1290. Back to peace we go. Back to peace we go.

  1291. Back to peace we go. Your anointing comes from peace.

  1292. Your greatest authority comes from peace.

  1293. The reason why some of us cannot walk away from situations is

  1294. because we see people having our peace.

  1295. We see them staying having our peace.

  1296. We see that money coming as our peace.

  1297. Nope. I think every marriage is

  1298. restorable. I think every bank account is

  1299. restorable. Watch this starting with peace.

  1300. What if the strategy to get your marriage back?

  1301. Was to have peace. Peace changes everything.

  1302. It's why people say why did you mess with Kobe?

  1303. Why did you mess why? Why are you talking trash to

  1304. that man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  1305. Peace allows you to turn up in the face of your giants.

  1306. Watch this. If you learn.

  1307. To stand in peace in the midst of your storm.

  1308. Your storms will cease quicker because you could get out of

  1309. prison, but take prison with you.

  1310. You can get out of a storm, but take the storm with you.

  1311. And for some of you in here, what you've been going through

  1312. is what's inside of you. Watch this.

  1313. What's in you is causing more hail than what's outside of you.

  1314. You start walking in peace. Watch your lack of dependency on

  1315. that medication. It's crazy.

  1316. Billions of dollars, billions and billions and billions, maybe

  1317. trillions by now are being made was because people need peace.

  1318. Crazy crazy. Some of you are whacking your

  1319. brains over why that person won't change.

  1320. Like until they change and you going to pray God and God, God

  1321. won't you just change them? God, God you losing your peace

  1322. in prayer because God is saying no, no, no, no.

  1323. I actually allowed this to happen so you can hand them over

  1324. to me. Watch this.

  1325. You are praying to God about something He is saying.

  1326. You keep praying about it because you actually don't trust

  1327. me. Come on, turn that off.

  1328. Turn that off. Turn that off.

  1329. You keep praying about it because you don't trust me.

  1330. I said what I said, I said what I said.

  1331. Sometime you go to a prayer closet and God like here we go

  1332. because he said he knows what you what you need before here we

  1333. go again. They about to come back in here

  1334. with this whole say I already told him watch this, watch this.

  1335. You ready? You're not going to do it now,

  1336. but some people will come and ask for prayer after church.

  1337. Can you pray for my peace? Oh you didn't receive the

  1338. message? Me praying for your peace is not

  1339. going to do more than the message did, especially for an

  1340. hour and 15 minutes. What you talking about?

  1341. So you think a 2 minute prayer is going to do more than an hour

  1342. and 15 message on what you asking me to pray about?

  1343. Oh you need prayer because you don't believe the word but you

  1344. believe my prayer? OK, you can play again.

  1345. I I would say This is why we have the best news in the world.

  1346. We have the best God in the world.

  1347. We have the best answer in the world because the entire world

  1348. is looking for what he left us. That's crazy.

  1349. This. How silly.

  1350. You look looking for what they're looking for.

  1351. When he left it with you, right, you just let's just go shopping

  1352. because you want to buy some new jeans, not because you looking

  1353. for peace in jeans. So now instead of looking for

  1354. jeans, you could actually witness to the person.

  1355. We have the greatest commodity and as the days get darker, the

  1356. greatest thing, what every man and woman is going to be looking

  1357. for these last days, people going to be jumping out of

  1358. buildings because they don't have no peace.

  1359. Watch this. And you work in the next cubicle

  1360. and he left it with you. And because you didn't show

  1361. peace, they jumped off the bridge.

  1362. They didn't know peace was in the next cubicle, but you in the

  1363. lunchroom gossiping with them. So they don't know it's peace.

  1364. They don't know you got it because you mix it in mingling.

  1365. Lord, may the peace of God distinguish us in these last

  1366. hours. Distinguish us by your peace,

  1367. distinguish us by your presence and when the next storm

  1368. opportunity comes, family and friends are watching and how we

  1369. respond as we're as as old man is rising up and we about to

  1370. jump in jump in the boat with everybody else.

  1371. May we just pause and wait a minute.

  1372. Everybody here needs. When he left me, I got the keys.

  1373. May we realize what we're carrying.

  1374. Watch this and be wise with who we grieve with.

  1375. I need to grieve with someone that has the same peace that I'm

  1376. called to give. So you got to know when you're

  1377. the key, when somebody else is the key.

  1378. You got to know when God needs you to be the calm in the storm

  1379. and when you can be the storm and he brings you calm.

  1380. In this last season, people I can grieve with got slimmer.

  1381. So there's certain conversations I can't have with certain

  1382. people. Some of y'all the reason why

  1383. your family gives you the most hell because you don't give them

  1384. the most peace. Some of you in your family is a

  1385. great contradiction because in one breath you talk about Jesus,

  1386. you saved, you're a Christian. But when they hear you, I know

  1387. when you hear we don't. We don't all see your best be we

  1388. don't all see how you really talk.

  1389. We all we don't see the ugly. So how many people don't raise

  1390. your hand? Just raise your hand in your

  1391. head? How many people know some people

  1392. are here right now. You like if y'all can hear them

  1393. talking or acting at home, right?

  1394. I see a few hands. I see a few hands in the back in

  1395. your head. I see, I see.

  1396. Yeah, some of y'all different at home.

  1397. So you come here and you taking notes next to somebody that's

  1398. like, yeah, they ain't going to do it anyway.

  1399. They taking notes because they see you say hi bastard T love

  1400. you, God bless you, mighty man of God and you go home and they

  1401. effing this and effing that your contradiction.

  1402. So I'm here to tell you if your contradiction, you're not

  1403. sharing peace, you're sharing storms.

  1404. Some of us in here are the biggest stumbling block in our

  1405. friends and families lives because we have not crossed over

  1406. yet. The reason why we need heaven on

  1407. earth is because without it we have no witness.

  1408. So we need storms. Why?

  1409. Because storms expose peace. Storms don't really expose

  1410. chaos, it exposes peace. So I pray today, lift your hands

  1411. all over the room. I just want you to declare peace

  1412. is mines in Jesus name. Thank you so much for tuning
