-
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.
-
Love Quests As we journey today, I need you to prepare yourself
-
for allowing the Spirit of God to take you deep within and
-
impart the greatest gift on earth and on this side of your
-
salvation. Precisely speaking, the greatest
-
battle in your life right now is not around you.
-
It's within you. And when Jesus says take the
-
plank out of our eyes, he is not merely Speaking of fleeing
-
judgmentalism or having a critical spirit, but what he is
-
saying is we cannot continue to afford to minimize and ignore
-
the storms and sewage that is waging in our own souls.
-
The enemy is not after our money.
-
No, no, no. He's not after our job.
-
He's not after our reputation. The enemy's not after your
-
status or even your relationships.
-
He's like you can had at he's after your peace.
-
Because the one who controls your peace also is the one who
-
controls your pace. The one who controls your peace
-
is the one who controls your perspective.
-
The one who controls your peace is the one who controls your
-
decisions. And the one who controls your
-
peace is also the one who controls your destiny.
-
But but I need you to listen. You cannot win a spiritual
-
battle with an unstable or diseased or tormented mind.
-
You cannot traverse in purpose with a chaotic soul.
-
You cannot teach divine reach divine destiny and establish
-
legacy with an uncovered inner world.
-
So we see why Jesus did not say, I give you strategies, I give
-
you motivation, even I give you positive vibes.
-
No, that's not what he said. He said, and John penned, my
-
peace I give to you, 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. Yes, I said revolution of order.
-
Peace overthrows chaos, peace dismantles disorder, and peace
-
is a holy uprising that restores divine order.
-
I want to put hell on notice today and prophecy over you that
-
you are not losing your mind, you're just listen to the other
-
part. You're just losing what was
-
never meant to live in your mind.
-
Now you can say Amen. Anxiety is being evicted today,
-
fear is being subdued today, torment is being eradicated
-
today, depression is being derailed today, and chaos is
-
being evacuated off the premises of your mind today.
-
Not just today, but right now. Somebody say right now, because
-
the King did not just come to save your soul, he came to
-
stabilize your mind today. I'm not just positive that
-
there's a word that is going to change your life in the house
-
right now, but I am convinced, convicted and compelled to
-
believe that there's a transfer on the horizon between heaven
-
and earth today, and it's in the house.
-
It's a transfer of peace, a transfer of clarity, a transfer
-
of stability, and a transfer of divine rest.
-
So, so, so I need you to declare with some authority today that
-
my mind is not a war zone, but my mind is where heaven abides.
-
Come on. Amen, Amen.
-
Amen. Today, hey, I am here to talk to
-
you from a topic called Peace of Mind.
-
Not Peace of Mind, but Peace of Mind.
-
Jesus is saying Peace of Mind, the Peace of Mind, my peace,
-
Peace of Mind. And a few weeks ago we started
-
talking about we all here. Remember that somebody say we
-
all here. The week after that we started
-
talking about what? And then the week after that we
-
started talking about what? And today it's Peace of Mind.
-
And the declaration is we shall not be moved.
-
Somebody speak that over there self and say, I shall not be
-
moved, right? That that is Ephesians 4 where
-
he says he sends pastors and apostles and evangelists and
-
teachers and and and and and and he he sends these gifts to the
-
body. And one of the reasons is so you
-
stop wavering. So you stop wavering.
-
How long are you going to be between chance, gusting wind,
-
between two decisions? The Lord encourages you make
-
one. John 14 says peace.
-
I leave with you my own peace, my own peace.
-
Peace I now give and bequeath to you.
-
When you see highlighted stuff, I'm trying to highlight
-
something. Peace I leave with you, my own
-
peace I leave with you now. I give it to you and bequeath it
-
to you. Not as this world gives do I
-
give to you. Do not let your hearts be
-
troubled. You don't let your heart be
-
troubled. Your troubled heart is because
-
you let me be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
-
He didn't say comfort. I leave you no strength.
-
I leave you no calm. I leave you no stop allowing
-
yourselves to be agitated. You agitated because you
-
allowing yourself and disturbed. You disturbed because you
-
allowing yourself to be disturbed and do not permit
-
yourselves to be fearful. You're fearful because you gave
-
yourself permission to be fearful and intimidated.
-
You're intimidated because you gave yourself reason to be
-
intimidated and cowardly. You are a coward because you
-
gave yourself permission to be a coward and unsettled.
-
You allowed yourself to be unsettled.
-
I leave you peace. The scripture says I leave peace
-
with you. So if peace ain't with you, you
-
the one lost it 'cause I left it with you.
-
If you got kids, this is a conversation in the house.
-
Where did the keys go? I left them with you.
-
Where did the money go? I left it with you.
-
I put it in. I know I put that money in your
-
account. Where did it go?
-
And like a lot of kids, we make excuses.
-
Well, it's like, wait, Adam, where are you?
-
I know where I left you and I know the mental state I left you
-
in. I am asking you where you at
-
because clearly you don't know where I left you.
-
OK, I leave you peace. And this word leave means to
-
bequeath, to transfer, and to pass down.
-
Watch this. Jesus is saying I am writing my
-
will. It's John 14, I am writing my
-
will, and peace is the first thing with your name on it.
-
Not as the world gives, but the world's peace is through
-
pleasure, avoidance, escape, control, substances, sedation.
-
That's the world's peace. It's very conditional.
-
There's things you got to do to get it and if you got it that
-
way, you got to keep it that way.
-
So if I got peace from avoiding something, guess what I got to
-
keep doing avoiding. If I had to be sedated to get
-
peace, guess what I got to keep doing?
-
Being sedated. If I use the substance to get
-
peace, guess what? I got to keep doing substance.
-
Same thing with Jesus. You can't just be coming in and
-
out of church and think you're going to keep the peace and the
-
love and the joy that God gave you when you constantly in and
-
out. I if I'm a stay high, I got to
-
keep on smoking, right Y'all? I'm making it practical for you
-
because we got smokers in here, drinkers in here, porners in
-
here, we got all kind of stuff in here.
-
So I'm trying to make it practical.
-
The same way you stay faithful to your vices is the same way
-
you need to stay faithful to Jesus.
-
Not as the world gives, but the Kingdom's peace is through
-
truth, alignment, faith, love, wholeness, presence, and
-
identity. Say keep going PT.
-
Keep going PT right the enemy's tactics.
-
The enemy cannot steal your salvation, so he targets your
-
sanity. And most of us in here spend
-
part of our day trying to not lose it versus living in
-
victory. So I'm avoiding a conversation
-
because I'm going to lose it. I'm I'm, I'm walking on the
-
other side of the mall because if I see you and I let you see
-
me, I'm going to lose it. The enemy can't steal your
-
salvation, so he targets your sanity, the war for peace.
-
He attacks your thought patterns, your focus, your
-
identity, your rest, your rhythms, your boundaries, and
-
yourself. Perception Here it is again.
-
He attacks the enemy. Hell attacks your thought
-
patterns. He attacks your focus, he
-
attacks your identity, he attacks your rest, he attacks
-
your rhythms, he attacks your boundaries, and he attacks
-
yourself. Perception.
-
Watch this, watch this. This is crazy because just think
-
about it. Just take one of these thought
-
patterns. You know, when you really have
-
an encounter with Jesus, that thought pattern on Jesus that
-
week of you, you encounter Jesus in such a way you like, I got to
-
read that scripture again. I got to go with that sermon
-
again, man, I'm turning off my my I'm I'm getting off
-
Instagram, right. You create this God like
-
pattern. He's not look, he's after
-
disrupting that pattern. So why 3 weeks later, you back
-
on Instagram, you back in the same rhythm on Instagram, you
-
cussing again, but you had a pattern of holding your tongue.
-
He's after your patterns because watch this, your patterns are
-
gates. OK, we're going to keep it
-
pushing. We're going to keep it pushing.
-
We're going to keep it pushing. We're going to keep it.
-
These things that I'm talking about are gates.
-
If I could disrupt your rhythm, I get access.
-
If I can disrupt your boundaries, I get access.
-
If I can disrupt yourself perception, if I can disrupt
-
you, if I can tweak your identity, I get access.
-
Why? Because peace is the believers
-
most dangerous weapon. When you have peace, you hear
-
God clearly, you obey quickly, you love freely.
-
Just think of a double mind. I can't obey quickly when I'm
-
stuck between two decisions thoughts, right?
-
The reason I can't make a decision quickly is because I
-
don't have peace. You, you hear God clearly.
-
You obey quickly. See.
-
See if I can disrupt your peace, I can get you to delay God's
-
word. See, I if I can get you to
-
delay, delay obedience, then I always have access.
-
Access. Right?
-
Watch this. A decisive decision creates
-
separation between the enemy's plans and God's plans.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you love freely when you have
-
peace, you resist temptation easier when you have peace and
-
effectively when you have peace. You walk boldly when you have
-
peace and you discern attacks early when you have peace and
-
you sleep deeply. Some of y'all need some sleep,
-
not Tylenol. You need peace, not Advil,
-
right? And that's why we that's why we
-
smoke. We're just looking for a sense
-
of peace. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
This is going to be a good day for some of us.
-
So, so, so, so, so, so, so as we approach John 14 and we got to
-
look at some context, OK? We are approaching the upper
-
Room, and we need to remember who is pinning the story in John
-
14. This is not Jesus writing this,
-
this is John witnessing this and recording this.
-
But it's very important to understand the state of mind
-
that John is having and how he's perceiving Jesus.
-
John wasn't just a disciple, he was the one who stuck close to
-
Jesus. He heard Jesus's heartbeat.
-
He laid on his chest. He saw great Jesus's greatest
-
moments of vulnerability. He saw Jesus cry.
-
He saw his divinity and humanity without flinching.
-
And John wasn't just close to Jesus in life.
-
Watch this. He was the one disciple who
-
clinged close to Jesus at the cross.
-
When the rest of the gang distanced themselves and ran,
-
John remained standing in the shadow of a crucified Savior who
-
trusted him enough to say, behold your mother, what you
-
talking about? Jesus is up on the cross.
-
He looks down at John. He looks down at his mother.
-
And he said, hey, take care of my mom.
-
That's Jesus and John right there.
-
John remained standing in the shadow of a crucified Savior who
-
trusted him enough to say, behold, your mother left.
-
He left him the responsibility to care for Mary as his own
-
Mama. Watch this.
-
John writes differently because he loved differently.
-
John writes differently because he listened differently.
-
So when John records what happened the night Jesus spoke
-
peace, He isn't giving U.S. history.
-
He's delivering to us intimacy. He's welcoming us into the room
-
where peace itself set and peace spoke.
-
And I can only imagine that room that night.
-
It was very heavy. It was one of the weightiest and
-
most intense nights in the entire ministry of Jesus.
-
The room was restless. The tension was thick and every
-
disciple experiencing something in the air, something they
-
didn't yet have language for. Watch this.
-
This is in John 13, where Jesus exposes who's about to betray
-
him. Peter leaned over who man who?
-
Who about to do this? He said, the one, I'm about to
-
dip this bread and I'm going to hand it to him.
-
That's the one that's going to do it.
-
And then Jesus looks at him. He says make sure you do it
-
quick, betray me quick. We got to get to this cross
-
because the quicker you could betray me the quicker I can set
-
y'all free. The quicker you betray me the
-
quicker I can get on to the next dimension of purpose.
-
So go on and go on. Ahead and betray me.
-
Just do it quick. Do it quiet, do it quick.
-
Give it over with. Watch this peace saw it coming.
-
It wasn't just he read it. In a scroll, his peace allowed
-
him to not get the word on his life.
-
Distorted. Yeah.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Because minutes earlier they watch Judas vanish into the
-
night, not just dismissing himself from the table, but
-
Judas dismissed itself from covenant, from mission, and from
-
Jesus. John, arrest our attention with
-
four marquee words. Watch this.
-
And it was night. Yeah, it was PM, but what they
-
were about to read in their DMS was about to cause them to cry
-
out these famous words. Lord help my unbelief.
-
Yeah, and it was night. It was not merely a moment
-
marker. It was not this like, hey, this
-
what time it is. This was a prophetic diagnosis.
-
It was, yes, night PM, but it was also night in the
-
atmosphere, night in their minds, night in their hearts.
-
Anybody ever been there? No matter how nice it was
-
outside, on the inside it felt like night and it felt like no
-
son was nowhere around. This moment is often referred to
-
as the farewell discourse. Jesus looks into the eyes of the
-
11 and speaks 3 devastating truths. 3 devastating truths.
-
Watch this before Jesus speaks. Peace he unveils #1 betrayal.
-
One of you will betray me. This is all John 13 before 1427.
-
One of you will betray me #2 his departure.
-
He says we've walked together for these 3 1/2 years, but where
-
I'm about to go next, you can't come Now.
-
This can preach about purpose because when God calls you to a
-
new dimension, some folks just ain't called to go with you.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then #3 Peter's denial
-
before morning, you will deny me.
-
Can you imagine being in this room?
-
That's three big announcements, just one of them.
-
You pick either one. It's devastating.
-
They're all thinking, oh, my God, our strongest disciple will
-
fall. Our leader is departing from us,
-
and our circle is scattering. This is where it all falls
-
apart. This is the emotional soil that
-
John 14 descends on. The emotional soil is filled
-
with seeds of emotional collapse, seeds of uncertainty,
-
seeds of anxiety, and their faith is distressed, their
-
identity is disoriented, their future is discomposed, and their
-
emotions are disquieted. In John 14, Jesus is not
-
speaking to calm disciples. He is addressing shaken men.
-
And before fear can seek deep and take root, and before
-
confusion can scatter and and shatter them, and before the
-
enemy can mobilize and weaponize their anxiety, Jesus interrupts
-
their unraveling with a command. Let not your heart be troubled,
-
he says. Let not your heart be agitated,
-
stirred up by trouble. Let let not your heart be so
-
troubled deeply, and let not your heart be disturbed.
-
That's John 14. One, He is not soothing them, He
-
is recalibrating them. He is not ignoring their fear.
-
He is confronting their fear and but prophetically, something way
-
deeper is formulated. Jesus is not preparing them for
-
relaxation. He's not preparing them for
-
vacation. He's not preparing them for a
-
smoke session. He's not preparing them to get a
-
little wine cooler. Watch this.
-
He is preparing them for the hardest night of their lives.
-
Watch this. To deal with your greatest
-
storms, you will have to learn how to be greatly sober.
-
To deal with your greatest storms, you will have to learn
-
how to be greatly sober. And I'm not just talking about
-
drugs and alcohol. I'm talking about what you
-
watching greatly sober where you put your love greatly sober.
-
The relationship's greatly sober.
-
A person that has idols is an intoxicated person.
-
Some of y'all don't drink, don't smoke, but you intoxicated by
-
the love of money. He's preparing them for the
-
hardest night of their lives. So he knows what is coming.
-
He knows the Roman Sanhedrin led by Judas is approaching the
-
garden, the place of crushing and the olive press is waiting.
-
The cross is drawing near. There's trauma about to shake
-
and grip their lives and their families lives.
-
The shame Peter is about to carry, the scattering of the
-
disciples, the silence of Saturday, the confusion of
-
resurrection morning and the spiritual warfare intensifying
-
around them. Now some of you, I just felt my
-
spirit of like the, the, the, the, the, the silence of
-
Saturday. That just remember, you know,
-
Good Friday and then he he got up.
-
So Saturday is that in between day for all you Bible readers
-
who've been at every Easter and know about Saturday.
-
That's what I'm talking about. The silence of Saturday.
-
All this he's preparing them for.
-
And before the storm hits, Jesus releases what will keep them
-
through it all. Somebody say peace.
-
I love how y'all said that. Very peaceful.
-
Yeah. This is not ordinary peace.
-
This is not brittle peace. This is not contingent peace.
-
It is his peace. So when we finally, when he
-
finally says watch it, when he finally says peace I leave with
-
you, my peace I give to you, he is not offering comfort.
-
He is transferring capacity. He is transferring capacity.
-
He is releasing. He is releasing the very
-
atmosphere that has to sustain him in every dimension of his
-
assignment. In warfare, his peace, In
-
pressure, peace, In betrayal, peace, In suffering peace, In
-
leadership, peace, in destiny peace.
-
This is why the Kingdom of darkness wars for your peace,
-
because your peace is not a feeling, it is a weapon.
-
It is a mantle and the peace of God is the evidence that the
-
Kingdom is governing your mind. The peace of God is evidence
-
that the Kingdom is governing your mind.
-
So the Lord says today something about today.
-
You won't walk into this next dimension shaking and
-
shattering. You will step and stand in my
-
peace. You won't merely survive, you
-
will surge with victorious triumph.
-
You will not break. You will be kept.
-
This is not an emotional sedation.
-
This is Kingdom impartation. This is not sentimental
-
language. This is covenant language.
-
This is not Jesus saying, I hope you calm down.
-
This is Jesus declaring and decreeing and establishing.
-
I am giving you the atmosphere of heaven to carry you into your
-
OR assignment as more than a conqueror.
-
And prophetically the Spirit says lift your hands.
-
You are stepping into victories that require my firm foundation,
-
not your intellectual understanding.
-
You are facing giants that fall not by might nor by power, but
-
by my peace that refuses to bow to fear and move in frustration,
-
birth by impatience. My peace is not past massive, it
-
is your spiritual posture. My peace is not fragile, it is
-
dismantling anxiety, it breaks torment and it disarms the
-
enemy. So when we open John 1427 today
-
we are not reading a kind suggested verse.
-
We are receiving a divine transfer.
-
Jesus here is dealing with their fears.
-
Jesus is dealing with their fears while pointing to their
-
inheritance, right. We see the Father, the Son, and
-
the Holy Spirit is working together.
-
He's showing that the Father prepares.
-
John 14, one through 11, the Father prepares.
-
He's unveiling that the Son reveals, and He is promising
-
that the Spirit will comfort and teach.
-
Watch this. He is establishing here divine
-
order in their inner world. He's establishing order within.
-
Some of y'all have the neatest houses, but the most chaotic,
-
mind you. Some of y'all fight over your
-
spouse cleaning up more than you fight for your own peace.
-
I'm gonna say it again. I'm gonna say it again.
-
Some of y'all fight with your spouse about doing chores when
-
you ain't even maintained your own peace.
-
Yeah, it's quiet. It's quiet in here.
-
It's well, Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quiet in here.
-
But the baby heard me. The baby heard me.
-
The baby's hurt me. The baby's hurt me.
-
Watch this. The the the the father prepares.
-
So that means that I can stand and believe the final outcome is
-
covered and conquered. Yeah, the sun reveals.
-
So that means I can stand and believe as we go through what we
-
as we go through, we are not alone and we have an
-
inheritance. Watch this.
-
And an identity and the Spirit comforts and teaches.
-
So that means that I can stand and believe The same Spirit that
-
raised Jesus from the dead is a sign to carry you.
-
Carry me and you through the mission.
-
Hallelujah. I say this to you.
-
Peace is the fruit of Trinitarian activity.
-
Can I get smarter for a moment? Can I, can I be smarter for a
-
moment? Yeah, Peace is the fruit of
-
Trinitarian activity for those that are really smart.
-
I did not misspelled peace, I spelled it right backwards.
-
Hallelujah. Peace is the fruit of
-
Trinitarian activity, which simply means in here that the
-
Father ordains peace, the Son secures peace, and the Spirit
-
applies peace. Come on, say the Trinity is that
-
work. Watch this.
-
Peace is the overflow of the entire Trinity working on my
-
behalf. Peace is the overflow of the
-
entire Trinity working on my behalf.
-
If you knew what God had to do to get you His peace, you would
-
be a little bit more grateful if you understood the mountains
-
that God had to move, right? Because the Trinity has at work,
-
sometime He will abruptly snatch people out your life just so he
-
can give you what? Peace.
-
Peace is not a human achievement.
-
Peace is the Father's desire for you.
-
Peace I leave with you. Not counterfeit peace.
-
Counterfeit peace. Watch this culture.
-
I'm coming for you. Vancouver.
-
OK. Coming for you Canada.
-
Culture sold you substitutes of peace because the world taught
-
us counterfeits and society shaped false expectations.
-
Got that? Got that peace I leave with you.
-
This is a legal inheritance language used in ancient Jewish
-
wills and covenants. This peace is not optional.
-
This peace is not circumstantial.
-
This peace is not based on emotional stability.
-
Watch this. Peace is a covenant bequeatho.
-
It permanently transfers permanently transfers
-
permanently transfers. It permanently transfers.
-
Watch. Even when you leave peace on the
-
table, peace stays on the table, right?
-
It permanently transfers. I could ask every person in
-
here, what's your excuse for not having peace?
-
It ain't God because he says my peace.
-
I'll leave with you. Watch this.
-
I love Elder John. That he left me his peace
-
because his peace can't be taken by evil.
-
The devil don't have access to his peace, but he does have
-
access to my peace. Because my my peace is always
-
connected to something temporary and monetary.
-
So my peace built on money. All all the enemy got to do is
-
attack my finances or get me worried about money.
-
So I'm always working so much to make sure I keep this money that
-
I don't got no time for God. So I got God mean I'm going to
-
heaven, but I don't got I don't got heaven on earth, though.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
I love this. I love the gospel.
-
You don't earn peace. You don't qualify for peace.
-
I'm telling you, You don't qualify for peace and you don't
-
build peace. You inherit peace.
-
You don't inherit, right. Watch this.
-
This is the good news. What if you told a non believer
-
this good news versus saying you're going to hell if you
-
don't come? Yeah.
-
You don't earn peace. You don't qualify for peace.
-
You don't build peace, you inherit peace.
-
Say my inheritance. Watch this.
-
It's my piece, he says. Not a piece, not some piece, not
-
one day you'll have piece. The exact essence and the very
-
internal stability of Christ himself is the piece we're
-
talking about. This is the mind of Christ.
-
This is the same peace that kept him calm on the cross.
-
This is the same peace that allowed him to shut his mouth
-
and not say I didn't do nothing. This was the same peace that
-
allowed him to not have to prove himself, but let himself be
-
misunderstood. This is the same peace that gave
-
his money to someone he knew was going to betray.
-
But I'm not worried about the money.
-
I'm worried about the soul. So I got peace.
-
I don't care if my enemies hold my money.
-
The enemy can have my money, but he can't have my peace.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My wife can be whatever, but she
-
can't have my My kids can be whatever, but she can't have my
-
peace. My husband can be whatever, but
-
he can't have my peace. Yeah, yeah.
-
Y'all give y'all peace, y'all prostitute y'all peace all day.
-
And if the shoe, I'm saying y'all because I'm talking to
-
everybody. And if the shoe fit, wear it.
-
If it don't, Hallelujah. My piece is not emotional
-
relief. My piece is not a concept, My
-
peace is not the absence of problems.
-
This is Jesus talking to us. He says my peace is not a quiet
-
schedule, my peace is not a still room, My peace ain't when
-
the kids go to sleep, my peace ain't a relaxing environment,
-
and my peace ain't a trouble free week.
-
That's your peace, my peace. Watch this.
-
He had storms, he had crowds, he had pressure, he had betrayal.
-
Yet he walked with what? I'm gonna wait till you stop
-
clapping because you some of y'all be clapping and when I'm
-
saying something to other people, then clap.
-
Be a distract. Watch it.
-
I love when people clap. Trust me, I love when people
-
clap. But but watch this I want to
-
repeat. Yet he will.
-
He walked with perfect what? Peace.
-
Watch this for all y'all. That's like, oh, I need that.
-
You wonder why God ain't allowed you to get a vacation in all the
-
chaos. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
He had storms, me too. He had crowds, me too.
-
He had pressure, He had betrayal.
-
Yet he walked with perfect peace.
-
His peace is internal, not external.
-
Watch this. If peace depended on
-
circumstances, Jesus would have never had it.
-
My peace is not silence. My peace is not a quiet place or
-
a muted moment. Hey, turn the music down.
-
Nothing happening is not peace happening.
-
Right, right, right. I want to have peace and chaos
-
and peace in Italy. Watch this because some of us
-
can't really enjoy Italy because Italy is Lord, but when the Lord
-
you got peace and chaos, you'll actually experience Italy at a
-
way crazier level. All right, all right, can't wait
-
to go back to Italy. Watch this because peace is not
-
the absence of sound, it's the presence of Christ.
-
Silence can be numbing, but it is not healing.
-
A quiet room does not fix a loud soul.
-
My peace is not being introverted, it's not being soft
-
spoken, it's not being easygoing.
-
And my peace is not me being unbothered.
-
You can be loud, watch this and still have peace.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Right?
-
I, I, I've never, I've never been.
-
If there's never been such an attempt on my loudness, then
-
when I cross this border, right, somehow loud is Pentecostal.
-
Know What if loud was peace just wrapped in this little culture
-
over here, But somehow you think because you quiet you got more
-
peace than me? No.
-
Maybe my praise and my radicalness represent how much
-
peace I really got. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
You can be expressive and still have peace.
-
You can be intense and still have peace.
-
Peace is not a temperament. Peace is a transformation.
-
Hallelujah. My peace is not yoga.
-
My, my. Peace is not meditation.
-
My my. Peace is not a vibe and my peace
-
is not amazing energy, right? My peace is not an amazing, it's
-
not an amazing energy. Watch this.
-
Stretches. They relax the body, but they do
-
not restore the spirit. Stretches.
-
They calm your nervous system, but they cannot cover your mind
-
like the blood of Jesus. Thank God for stretches, thank
-
God for self-care, and thank God for deep breaths.
-
Shout out to Tava, they're doing a phenomenal job.
-
But watch this. But none, yeah, no, no.
-
But none of these can anchor a soul, right?
-
Right. None of these can anchor your
-
soul. None of these can anchor your
-
soul. And you get you, you hear me?
-
Stretches and self-care and deep breaths.
-
They can reset your emotions, but they cannot rebuke your
-
enemies in the name of Jesus. Now.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, Demon ain't going nowhere,
-
right? Demon got you being seductive
-
with your stretching. Hallelujah.
-
Yeah, yeah. Peace.
-
Watch this. Peace is not a technique.
-
Peace is a person. Come on.
-
Peace is a person. Peace is a person.
-
Peace is a person. So even when the yoga studio is
-
closed, guess what? I still got peace.
-
When I'm laying in bed, I got peace.
-
If I get caught up in some mess, I got peace.
-
If the plane is shaking too much, I got peace.
-
If somebody got a gun to your head, you got peace, right?
-
Peace ain't nine to five. Peace ain't a bunch of commas.
-
Peace ain't acres. Peace is a person.
-
My peace is not the absence of conflict.
-
Peace did not leave because conflict arrived.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no. Watch this.
-
Sometimes the battle is evidence you finally stepped into peace.
-
Yeah, I said it this morning. The reason people leaving you is
-
because they didn't know they was on an assignment or would be
-
used for an assignment. And them leaving you is a sign
-
that the enemy cycles are up because the moment you got a
-
whole hell got threatened. Yeah.
-
Peace is not fragile. Peace is not passive.
-
Peace does not panic when war shows up.
-
Real peace has authority. Remember, real peace tells the
-
storm to shut up. My my peace is not a void dance.
-
It it my. Peace does not.
-
Peace does not. Dance around the issue.
-
Do you know when you dance around the issue, it actually
-
steals more peace? You ever talking to somebody and
-
they dance around the issue? Like, man, just say what you're
-
trying to say, right? You this is stressful.
-
Just say what you're trying to say, right?
-
That's what I love about being being back home and.
-
There's some people here, but I love being back home because at
-
least you know where people stand.
-
I don't, but here man, I'm just like, Oh my God, why people?
-
They just walk out the back door.
-
They don't, they don't say why, they don't say why.
-
They they make excuse. It's just like.
-
They send you texting. You, you know what I'm saying?
-
And it's like, no, where I'm from, man, my Mama come in the
-
room and be like, I don't like you, right?
-
The the drug, the drug addicts is out there.
-
The pimp is out there, the dopey like at the end of the day.
-
Call it what you want to, but, but, but I would say the
-
sneakiness and the passivity and the denial.
-
It's more dangerous than those. That's just keeping it real.
-
And just like this is me, I'm struggling with me.
-
I'm not hiding it. This is what it is.
-
It's avoidance, but also it's avoidance.
-
It doesn't dance around the issue.
-
Avoiding people, avoiding conversations and avoiding
-
responsibilities is not peace. It's emotional evasion.
-
Peace does not hide. Peace does not run.
-
Peace does not retreat. Peace does not waver.
-
Watch this. Jesus was in in front of people.
-
That was like bro you but you actually breaking the law.
-
For real though. He was like.
-
Hurry up, hurry up, because they come in.
-
He sat there and because he had peace, Heaven gave him an answer
-
that caused people to drop these stones.
-
You want revelation, you want the mind of Christ, you want to
-
hear from God anytime. Watch this.
-
If somebody is teaching a How to hear from God conference and
-
they don't cover peace, don't pay registration because the
-
moment you don't have peace, you don't have.
-
Clarity. So a lot of your hearing God is
-
mixed with your emotions. Avoiding people, avoiding
-
conversations, avoiding responsibilities is not peace.
-
It's emotional evasion. Peace does not hide.
-
Peace does not run. Peace does not retreat.
-
Peace does not waver. Peace gives you the strength to.
-
Face what fear told you to avoid.
-
I'm going to say that one more time.
-
Somebody cleared, they thrown on that last part.
-
Peace gives you the strength to face what fear told you to
-
avoid. That's a very important thing.
-
Peace, fear is always telling you to avoid it.
-
Now, I'm not giving you an excuse to just run your mouth
-
and run your mouth and just deal with everything because that's
-
not even wisdom. But peace gives you the strength
-
to face what fear has told you to avoid, but God told you to
-
embrace. Watch this.
-
It's His peace. My piece is not when the stars
-
align and you know people are like all the ducks in the row or
-
or all going my way. You know you can get the ducks
-
in the row, then have a kid. Then when your kid is born you
-
got all the ducks in the row, but then your wife leave or you
-
got all your ducks in the row. Watch this you got all your
-
ducks in the row and and now you got all your ducks in the row so
-
y'all can start a family. Then your kid come but then it
-
dies but you got ducks but you don't got a child.
-
Peace is proactive. You can't get this peace.
-
Once the storm hit and you avoided the peace all the time
-
before watch this, they was walking with peace.
-
Then the storm came. They thought peace.
-
I was trying to leave him dead. OK, let me Jesus was in the boat
-
with the disciple now, but not everybody here.
-
Jesus was in the boat with the disciples and the disciple.
-
Jesus would sleep in the storm. And then the disciples saw Jesus
-
sleep and they was like, bro, you don't care.
-
Are we about to die? They didn't know.
-
They was looking at peace. They didn't know that was Isaiah
-
26. He said keep your mind on me and
-
I'll give you perfect peace. Keep your eyes on me, fixed on
-
me. So while I'm in the storm with
-
Jesus, I just need to keep my keep my eyes on Jesus.
-
I'm not looking at the waves. I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus.
-
But because watch this, they walked with peace, but when the
-
storm came, they had no peace. Watch out for those people that
-
try to disturb your peace because they don't have none and
-
they mistake your peace for not caring.
-
You know, I actually am. I actually, I got the spirit of
-
fear is knocking at my door too. I actually see the problem.
-
This is very scary, right? I'm in the plane.
-
We're all experiencing turbulence, all of us.
-
It's crazy. The plane just went like that.
-
I felt that. OK, I'm not.
-
My peace does not deny facts. My peace stares the facts in the
-
eyes. It just says your turbulence is
-
not greater than my stability. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
So if peace depended on everything working out, then
-
none of us would ever have peace.
-
You don't need life to be perfect to walk in peace.
-
You just need his perfect presence found in his perfect.
-
His perfect peace found in his perfect presence.
-
Watch this. Peace is not empty.
-
Peace is not emotional sedation. Peace is not environment.
-
Peace is not energy. Peace is.
-
Not escape. My job to talk about peace for
-
this next month or so is to talk about peace to Utah.
-
Hire to peace. But you got peace.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Hey, watch this. We don't need to have a series
-
on relationship goals. You'll have amazing
-
relationships. If you have peace, you, you get
-
what I'm saying. You wouldn't jump from job to
-
job, church to church if you just had peace, you know what
-
I'm saying? You would not be easily offended
-
if you just have peace. You wouldn't be worried about
-
how much money your spouse make if you just had what peace?
-
Because my spouse is not my provider.
-
Peace is. Oh see I can't relate because I
-
thought peace was a thing. I didn't know peace was a
-
person. Watch this.
-
Peace is Gyra, peace is Rafa, peace is Yahweh, peace is
-
Elohim, peace. This is peace, man.
-
We didn't just cut Jesus to pieces.
-
It's just like he, Yahweh over there.
-
He he over there and our prior chaos is we trying to get Jesus
-
to rally and and come all together.
-
And we didn't realize that in all it is there's a key that
-
unlocks it all. He's unlocks it all.
-
Peace is a person. His name is Jesus.
-
I think we sang about him today. Only Jesus can rebuke demonic
-
pressure, or only peace can rebuke demonic pressure.
-
Only peace can anchor your identity.
-
Only His peace can govern your emotions.
-
Only peace can calm the inner storms.
-
Only peace can stabilize the soul.
-
Only peace can quiet tormenting thoughts.
-
Only peace can heal the anxious heart.
-
Everything else is momentary relief.
-
Jesus is eternal peace. Peace.
-
The presence of Jesus. Bible calls him the Prince of
-
peace. Peace is his authority.
-
There is no authority without his peace.
-
Peace is his identity. He is the Prince of Peace.
-
He is peace. Peace is his nature.
-
Peace is his nature, the peace. Peace is the peace of his
-
presence, the Prince of Peace. He's the ruler of wholeness.
-
Peace is the administrator of harmony and peace is the
-
governor of divine order. Peace the reigning of Jesus.
-
Where he is, peace reigns. Peace is not something God gives
-
apart from himself, He gives it by giving himself.
-
You can stop playing peace, the wholeness of Jesus.
-
He will give him perfect peace. Perfect means restored order,
-
nothing broken, nothing missing, perfect alignment and internal
-
stability. Watch this peace means restored
-
order. Watch this.
-
I don't need to change my furniture around.
-
I just need to give peace. And maybe if I anchor in peace,
-
I have a clean house. Hallelujah.
-
This peace don't mean I can sit in a stanky house and still have
-
peace. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-
That ain't peace because your stanky house is reflecting your
-
stanky soul. OK, watch this or your stanky
-
schedule. OK, OK, OK.
-
We don't like that one. We don't like that.
-
OK, Peace. Peace.
-
The whole is right all day we fighting, we we busy working all
-
day, no time to clean up. And in our marriage we arguing
-
about how dirty the house is and how dirty we don't have no time
-
to do this and we don't have no time to do that.
-
But sometimes you got to say, you know what?
-
I'm not going to work overtime. I'm going to let, I'm going to
-
leave that money on the table because I need peace in my
-
marriage and we need some quality time together and I'm
-
going to have peace about it. I'm not just going to have a
-
good time but be regretting I went to work and worked
-
overtime. I actually need to invest in my
-
marriage so I can have peace at home.
-
And you'll be surprised how much multiplication is connected to
-
the peace of God. Watch this.
-
All financial fruit is not connected to money.
-
You'd be surprised how much peace is connected to the favor
-
of God on your life. You Some people get paid.
-
Watch this Watch this Watch this Watch this.
-
Some people get paid for their presence.
-
I'm talking about these people. Hey, hey, hey, Kardashian.
-
If you, if you show up to the club around 11:30, sit over in
-
the corner, just hold the bottle in the air, stay for about an
-
hour, we'll give you $3,000,000. You'd be surprised what rooms
-
God would put you in if he could trust you with his peace.
-
Opportunities aren't always connected to diplomas.
-
All right, let me keep it pushing.
-
Peace isn't about everything around you being fixed.
-
Peace is about everything within you being sealed.
-
There's just some things I'm not questioning anymore.
-
I am a child of God. I'm the righteousness of God.
-
I am the redeemed of the Lord and I say so.
-
I am the healed and not the sick.
-
I am blessed coming in, blessed going out.
-
That is sealed I'm the head and not the tail sealed I am.
-
I'm blessed in the city and blessed in the field.
-
Sealed in the name of Jesus, my marriage will work.
-
Not just work, but it will prosper.
-
That is sealed. I am a mighty man of God.
-
That is sealed. I am a good father, that is
-
sealed. I'm not doubting that anymore.
-
God is going to get us in that building.
-
It is sealed. I am going to live in the land
-
of more than enough, not just park and just enough.
-
That is sealed. In the name of Jesus.
-
I have everything it takes to walk in.
-
Everything God has called me to walk in.
-
That is sealed in the name of Jesus.
-
If God be for me, who can be against me?
-
That is sealed in the name of Jesus.
-
I have the mind of Christ in the name of Jesus.
-
It's sealed. It's sealed.
-
Some of y'all still got got loose keys around you still
-
wondering you still you still wondering if if I'm saved?
-
You still juggling if if I if I trust God, will he come through
-
for me? You still juggling it, so
-
everywhere you go, you got to put on the costume apiece.
-
Yeah, you act like you got it together, but on the inside you
-
are as you got a big as big a storm going on inside of you.
-
Then Hurricane Katrina, you got hurricanes.
-
It ain't just raining hard in your soul.
-
You don't have peace, that's why you constantly trying to keep it
-
together Mama, you constantly trying to plug holes and that's
-
not what he died for you for. He's is the stability of Jesus.
-
It's divinely ordered steadfast stability.
-
It is storm proof. It is waiver free.
-
We are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, cannot be
-
shaken. Divinely ordered, steadfast
-
stability, storm proof. Waiver.
-
Free, he says, My peace, I give you his peace Held him together
-
while Judas betrayed him, Peter denied him, Rome oppressed him,
-
the disciples panicked, and the cross approached him.
-
Peace, the stability of peace. Divinely ordered Steadfast
-
stability. Storm proof.
-
And waiver free peace exists in Christ, not in conditions, Yeah.
-
Simple, but so profound. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Peace, the authority of Jesus. Love produced rest.
-
Filled authority. This is the weapon of peace.
-
This rest is a weapon. Peace is an active force, not a
-
mood. Wow.
-
You mean when I wake up in the morning and I'm just not in the
-
mood today, I can still carry something that overrides my
-
mood, so I can remain a blessing everywhere I go?
-
Some of you don't realize that that door was about to open the
-
day. You was in a bad mood, but you
-
guarded your mood more than your peace.
-
Come on, somebody. And so peace is an active force,
-
not a mood. Love produced rest field
-
authority, the weapon of peace. Watch this.
-
He says this in 2nd Thessalonians 316.
-
You better get this now. May the Lord of peace, he's the
-
Lord of peace, the master of peace.
-
If anybody got peace, he got peace when the world run out of
-
each version of peace, he got peace.
-
Now may the Lord of peace himself grants you his peace,
-
The. Peace of his Kingdom at.
-
All. Times and in all ways, under all
-
circumstances and conditions, whatever comes, the Lord be with
-
you all. Peace, the authority of Jesus.
-
Love produced rest, filled authority, the weapon of peace.
-
Peace is the atmosphere where torment dies.
-
Hallelujah and faith. Hope and love comes alive.
-
Faith, hope and love comes alive.
-
Peace, the authority of Jesus. Love produced rest filled
-
authority, the weapon of peace. Peace, rest.
-
It covers and it governs atmospheres.
-
Do you know how agitated hell gets?
-
When it cannot move you no matter how many darts it throws.
-
Look where the scripture. Says whatever house you enter
-
first say peace. No, no, no, no.
-
When I go into a house, if there's anything other than
-
peace, I'm not coming in agreement with it.
-
So if I got to go with that family member house and they
-
just be they be doing they just be acting crazy.
-
I know where I'm going. You know your family When I walk
-
in peace, how y'all doing in the name of Jesus, I'm carrying
-
something and they can be over there acting a fool you.
-
No, no, I'm not asking you to turn the music down.
-
Uncle can be over there drinking, but if I'm called to
-
go there, I walk in peace. How you doing?
-
I'm not hugging my uncle. And like you little alcoholic.
-
No, I'm speak. I'm gonna hug him to say peace.
-
Unk peace. Auntie, I carry peace.
-
Watch this. The peace of God overrides the
-
most chaotic atmosphere. You'll ever walk in?
-
Somebody say I'm packing. Somebody say I'm packing.
-
He says whatever house you enter first say peace be to this
-
household, freedom from all the distresses.
-
Watch this, Look at what he said.
-
Peace be to this household, Freedom from all the distresses
-
in this household that result from sin be with.
-
See, This is why some of us can't change atmospheres,
-
because the atmosphere changes us.
-
So we'll put our authority down would be one of them and then
-
use Paul's scripture. He became all things.
-
No, no, no, no. You got to hold your throat.
-
You got to make choices. Watch this and those that your
-
shift impacts, you have to communicate to them.
-
Watch this. Me and my wife and the elders
-
have been in this conversation with, I'm going to just say some
-
couples, some couples over the last few months.
-
And I remember they needed some help with some stuff, with some
-
relational stuff. And I remember I was on the
-
initial phone call and I remember coming in and God said
-
say this. And when I said it, it was like
-
bop bop, bop bop. This is what y'all need to do.
-
I said it with conviction. I said it with anointing Boom,
-
boom, boom boom boom boom, bop, bop, bop, bop bop and.
-
The elders is on the phone, my wife was on the phone and some
-
some of the angels was with us on the phone and then bop bop
-
bop bop bop. And then I said I gotta go love
-
you guys. Elder's wife stayed on the phone
-
for another hour. I'm like, I'm done from that
-
point. I made my mind up.
-
I released peace and no matter how long.
-
It took and takes no matter how bad it gets, it didn't get
-
better. Family state.
-
They they, they stay with them. Watch this.
-
But I communicated to to them because my peace is not me
-
bowing out of something I'm called to.
-
But I've done my discipleship work.
-
Therefore I can hand something off to them.
-
But I got to communicate to them in this next season.
-
I'm in the group chat but if you don't see me responding, it
-
ain't because I'm not here to help.
-
I'm praying watch this, but I'm guarding my peace.
-
I'm not see some of you got to understand what it takes to
-
guard your peace. Family, it don't matter.
-
Communicate to them. You know what?
-
We talked about this too long. I'm not having this conversation
-
with you no more. I'm not gossiping with you no
-
more. I'm not in your marriage.
-
Sometimes you got to get to the point.
-
Aside from our daily stuff and plans and stuff, I'm not getting
-
in this conversation about money no more until we learn how.
-
If we want to have a conversation, we got to have a
-
mediator. This is what me this is not me
-
bowing out of the conversation. This is saying our peace is more
-
valuable and if we lose our peace, we don't just lose money,
-
we lose our sanity. So it comes a point where you
-
got to choose what's most valuable to you.
-
And I'm here to tell every person in here, I don't care how
-
much money you got, if you don't have peace, you will not.
-
This is how you can have millions of dollars and then
-
kill yourself because Hollywood don't give you peace.
-
A white a new wife don't give you peace.
-
A new husband don't give you peace.
-
A cute little baby don't give you peace.
-
Watch this. Another province don't give you
-
peace. Another church don't give you
-
peace. He's like, I don't know.
-
You keep going from place to place.
-
You keep trying to hurry up, get married.
-
You keep trying. That's not my peace.
-
So sure for a moment. And what we've done is made new
-
peace. We've made change peace.
-
Watch this. Watch this.
-
No, I'm going to keep going. I got to go.
-
I got to go. Peace is not passive.
-
Peace is not passive. Peace is not passive.
-
Peace if not passive. Y'all going to help me land this
-
OK? Peace is not passive.
-
Peace is not delicate and peace is not fragile.
-
Peace has authority. Peace has authority, right?
-
You think of sports, The person that that is called on to take
-
the last shot isn't necessarily the best athlete, it's the one
-
who has the most poise. I'll be killing you in practice
-
but the coach can trust me with three seconds left because I got
-
more poise. The presence of Jesus lies lose
-
their grip in the presence of peace, fear lose their boy lose
-
his voice in the presence of peace, anxiety is bankrupt of
-
power and in the presence of peace demons have no more
-
access. Peace is Kingdom government
-
operating inside your emotions. Watch this.
-
Watch it today. I promise you to Peace is
-
something you actually need every hour.
-
Watch this, Watch this today. You're going to have an
-
opportunity. Your emotions is going to invite
-
you to a party. And if you if you got the Spirit
-
of God and you've given him permission in your life, he is
-
going to try to govern and he's going to say something like
-
don't answer that phone call, Don't text them back.
-
Watch this. Don't tell them today, don't
-
have the conversation today. Don't buy that.
-
No, you don't watch this. You don't need to order fried
-
chicken today. Do something baked.
-
Watch this. What that got to do with
-
anything? Anybody ever eat fried chicken
-
and your stomach start hurting? When your stomach start hurting,
-
guess what else start hurting? Your peace.
-
You got bubble guts in the middle of the night.
-
Guess what's disturbed your peace?
-
Right, right. We just think we, we, we just
-
think the Holy Ghost is just governing like ministry.
-
Well, well, there's no ministry if you ain't healthy, so you
-
don't have an opportunity. And the Holy Spirit, peace is
-
going to try and govern. Watch how many times you have a
-
fight with the Holy Ghost. Watch how many times Here's the
-
fight. You don't have to say nothing.
-
Your delay is an argument. Yeah.
-
Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow. Your delay is disobedience.
-
Holy Spirit is going to say no, go apologize to your husband.
-
I know he was wrong you, but your apology is not going to be
-
like, although I didn't do nothing.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. No, no, no.
-
Learn how to apologize to your kids for being a a parent who
-
bullied them. Watch this.
-
Sometimes you got to let your kids have an attitude so you can
-
communicate in love how they hurt you.
-
OK, so you got to let them have attitude so you can communicate.
-
You've been hurt, not you're angry.
-
Watch this. You got to let them have an
-
attitude so you can communicate. Not I'm the boss, No, but I'm
-
human. And after you, my child, you're
-
my brother and sister in Christ, right?
-
You ain't going to walk around heaven.
-
Where are my kids at? They ain't got no kids.
-
You going to know them? You're going to know that.
-
But he ain't got no kids like that.
-
Then God's kids. He going to have his kids back
-
and you going to have an account of how you shared his heart with
-
your family. Oh.
-
Let's move right alone. Let's move right along.
-
Peace the bodyguard. Peace.
-
The bodyguard of Jesus. It's the ordained militant
-
bodyguard. The Garrison.
-
No comparison. Military protection.
-
Keep kept, guarded, preserved, fit.
-
Watch this. But you got to.
-
Let him guard it. Don't go out there.
-
A truck is out there now. I do what I want to do, right?
-
You ever trying to stop somebody and especially kids, you try to
-
stop them and they like I don't do, I won't do and watch this.
-
They'll leave and say now I'm free.
-
OK, go ahead with your Freedom Watch.
-
This, this is God. This is peace.
-
Peace says don't but, but, but I want to.
-
I want to say it. And you notice when you say that
-
thing to communicate to people how they hurt.
-
You how you are more disturbed. Watch this.
-
Because they didn't give you the response.
-
You actually you wanted a response.
-
You notice when you got closure, you still wasn't happy.
-
Yeah, but the Holy Spirit told you you don't need closure.
-
Now you really resent them because they didn't take care of
-
you. But the Lord knew they weren't
-
going to take care of you. So he said don't even put yours.
-
Watch this. Don't even put yourself in the
-
position to let hurt double down on you.
-
You ever get in that argument and then you end up forgetting
-
what y'all started arguing about, right?
-
But he told you not to get in the argument.
-
He told you to shut your mouth. Now y'all not even arguing.
-
You notice how it's a new argument the longer you talk
-
it's a new argument. The longer you keep going.
-
It's a new argument. Right now we talking about the
-
volume. What people?
-
How are your voice? Are you always raising your
-
voice? You talking too loud right now?
-
You know I'm not talking to you. Lower your voice, but you
-
started yelling at me. I wasn't yelling at you until
-
you was yelling at me. See why you lying?
-
You always bringing up stuff from the past.
-
Why you generalizing everything now?
-
We talking about generalizing. We talking about volume, we
-
talking about last week and we started talking about cleaning
-
up. Help me close this out.
-
Peace stands guard over the mind like a soldier with orders.
-
Do you know peace is ordained to you, right?
-
This. This message can be preached at
-
single conferences. It could be preached at marriage
-
conferences. It could bring.
-
It could be preached at finance conferences.
-
It could be preached all because this is what everybody looking
-
for. Some of y'all got married.
-
Why? Because you thought you was
-
going to find what? You thought them cute kids you
-
have one day was going to bring you joy.
-
Yeah. You want to put them back in
-
there. It ain't going to work.
-
He stands guard over the mine like a soldier with orders.
-
This is why Philippians tells us God's peace.
-
My peace shall be yours. Come on, somebody says mines
-
ain't this crazy. Before he died, he says this is
-
what I'm leaving you If y'all don't get that this was not this
-
was not a gift he gave or promised when he returns.
-
He said look I'm not going to really need this where I'm going
-
so let me leave this right? Let me leave this with you.
-
This is something let me take this off.
-
So when I go here the same you, you see how y'all saw me walk,
-
You see how I dealt with persecution.
-
You see how I dealt with people misunderstanding me.
-
You see how I dealt with people lying on me.
-
You see how I dealt with you see, You see that same piece
-
that you was like tripping on like who is this man that's able
-
to speak to a storm like that? That same piece that you was in
-
all I carried. I'm leaving it with you.
-
I love you and I don't want you to walk through this world like
-
them Pharisees. I don't want you to walk through
-
this world like the world. So my piece, I'm gonna leave it
-
with you. Watch this.
-
Hell couldn't even keep that peace.
-
The grave couldn't kill that peace.
-
Everything got up. It's resurrection peace.
-
It's not just stay in the storm peace.
-
It's it's, it's, it's resurrection peace.
-
It's after a season that didn't go my way.
-
I'm about to have the biggest bounce back of my life piece,
-
right? So when you get a chance this
-
week, read Philippians 4 seven through 8.
-
Peace patrols your mind. Peace blocks intruders.
-
Peace intercepts lies, and peace protects our sanity.
-
This piece is our inheritance. It's our DNA.
-
It's our birthright. It's not our reward.
-
This is crazy. This piece is not a reward.
-
Watch this. You can't sow for this piece.
-
Piece belongs to me. It's mines.
-
Sometimes I'll ask my kids, you know, they're eating something
-
or Mike is eating some chips or something and I'll be like, can
-
I get one? And he'll say no.
-
Watch this how you not going to give me some chips I pay for?
-
Watch this but but but do not underestimate or miss the
-
child's ownership. When's the last time y'all
-
shared the peace God gave you with him?
-
Every storm the Lord is saying can I get some peace?
-
What you saying is Lord give me peace.
-
He's like but you got the bag. Have you ever thought in the
-
storm Jesus was asking you for peace?
-
Like display mirror back to me what I left you.
-
So instead of praying in your storm in panic, pray in peace.
-
I let I gave you the bag of chips.
-
I gave you the piece. So why are you asking me?
-
It's like if my son would had a whole bag of chips and I had
-
some chips and he like, dad, can I get some chips?
-
I'm going to say, buddy, I gave you your own chips.
-
Out of my own pocket, I bought you some chips and I bought me
-
some chips. I had enough money to get me.
-
Chips and you chips, God. Heaven has enough peace so all
-
his kids got a bag of chips. But how many of his kids in
-
storms is like, thank you daddy, you can have some chips, you
-
bought them for me. My response is in the storm is
-
gratitude because peace you left.
-
Me. You actually didn't leave me.
-
In the storm, you equipped me for the storm.
-
You find me one nugget for y'all go listen to this morning.
-
I got a lot further. The peace of the Kingdom
-
multiplies as revelation and wisdom of peace increases this
-
peace. It's like, let my people.
-
Go. So they can worship me.
-
He said go to them and ask him for the gold.
-
And I didn't ask you. I'm not I'm not handing over the
-
gold to you. So you can go make necklace and
-
necklaces and rings and have a have a swap meet.
-
I am giving you the gold. So when you.
-
Get out of Egypt. You can worship me the same way.
-
He gave them the gold. To worship them with worship him
-
with is the same way peace I leave you so when I let you out
-
of them chains. You can worship me.
-
Peace is the greatest gold you can ever have.
-
And some of us are praising God with so much anxiety, double
-
mindedness, franticness, and he says peace, I leave you.
-
And so I will speak and declare because I know there's people in
-
here that need the spirit, the spirits that are holding you
-
back from walking in this peace. I get it, life has happened.
-
Life is happening. But I promise you wherever you
-
are at in your life, it don't matter where you are, you can be
-
in the darkest moment of your life.
-
Guess what is in that dark room with you?
-
Peace. So today, in the name of Jesus,
-
I declare that my mind belongs to the Lord.
-
I am not my trauma. I am not my fear.
-
I am not my anxiety, I am not my diagnosis.
-
I am not my brokenness, I am not my symptoms.
-
My mind is blood balt, spirit filled and peace guarded.
-
I take authority right now over every spirit of fear, every
-
spirit of torment, panic and confusion.
-
And I say you have no legal right to my thoughts.
-
You have no legal right to my emotions.
-
You have no legal right to my sleep.
-
And you have no go right to my identity in Jesus name.
-
Come on. I break the power of intrusive
-
thoughts, mental torment, cycles of fear, waves of anxiety,
-
emotional instability, hopelessness, depression,
-
heaviness, internal chaos. I I command every lying spirit
-
to be silenced. I command every tormenting
-
spirit to be bound. I command every spirit of fear
-
to leave my atmosphere. Now in the name of Jesus, come
-
on, somebody say right now I declare I have the mind of
-
Christ. My thoughts come into alignment
-
with heaven. My emotions come under the
-
government of the Holy Spirit. My inner world is governed by
-
the peace of God. I declare my mind is sound, my
-
thoughts are clear, my emotions are steady, and my heart is
-
whole. The Lord restores my soul.
-
I receive the peace Jesus left me.
-
I receive the peace Jesus gave me.
-
I received the peace. Jesus walks in.
-
I declare. His peace covers me.
-
His peace holds me. His peace steadies me.
-
His peace heals me. His peace surrounds me.
-
His peace sustains me. Not the world's peace, not
-
temporary calm, not emotional sedation, not mental
-
distraction, but the true peace of Christ, wholeness, order,
-
stability and divine rest. In the name of Jesus, I am
-
breaking agreements. In the name of Jesus, I break
-
every agreement I made with fear.
-
I break every agreement I made with anxiety.
-
I break every agreement I made with despair, with confusion,
-
with shame, with self hatred, and with hopelessness.
-
Yeah, come on. Take authority over your own
-
life. Take authority over your own
-
soul. I renounce the lie that I am
-
broken beyond repair. I renounce the lie that peace is
-
impossible for me. I renounce the lie that God has
-
abandoned me. I renounce the lie that my mind
-
will never be well. I declare my mind as well.
-
Now in Jesus name I come into agreement with truth.
-
I am loved, I am chosen, I am held, I am protected, I am
-
covered, I am kept by God. In the name of Jesus, I declare
-
healing over my nervous system. I declare healing over my
-
hormones. I declare healing over my sleep.
-
I declare healing over my memory.
-
I declare healing over my focus. I declare healing over my
-
emotions. That's enough.
-
I declare healing over my thought patterns.
-
I declare healing over my stress responses.
-
I declare healing over my identity.
-
I declare healing over my imagination, I declare mental
-
stability, I declare emotional restoration, and I declare
-
supernatural clarity. Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep,
-
Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep. The devil is defeated.
-
The devil is defeated. Yeah, it's coming back now in
-
the name of Jesus. It's here now in the name of
-
Jesus. It is here now in the name of
-
Jesus. Let every fragmented place be
-
made. Whole.
-
Let every anxious place be quieted.
-
Let every dark place receive light.
-
Let every heavy place be lifted. I proclaim freedom in Jesus
-
name. I am not tormented, I am not
-
overwhelmed. I am not defeated.
-
I am not losing my mind, I am not.
-
Come on, I am delivered. I am strengthened, I am
-
protected, I am grounded. I am safe in God.
-
I am covered by peace in the name of Jesus.
-
Yeah. Today I receive my new mind.
-
Today I receive a new stability. Today I receive a new peace.
-
Today I receive a new freedom. My mind is guarded.
-
My mind is whole. My mind is healed.
-
My mind is at peace. And if that agrees with you, if
-
you believe it, if you receive it, give God a shout of praise.
-
Come on, lift your hands right where you are.
-
Come on, open your mouths right where you are.
-
Some of you guys did real good listening.
-
But did it stick? What is God stirring in your
-
spirit? Where do you need to repent?
-
It's yours. It's yours.
-
Yeah, it's yours. It's yours.
-
It's yours. It's yours.
-
It's yours. It's yours.
-
It's yours. The governing peace is yours.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Today I'm not letting nobody
-
steal my peace. I make a deciding decision.
-
I make a decision now in the name of Jesus.
-
No one can take my peace in the name of Jesus.
-
Peace is my stabilizer. Peace is my foundation.
-
Peace is my purpose. In the name of Jesus.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have the mind of Christ.
-
I have the mind of Christ. I have the mind of Christ.
-
This is the good news. This is the good news.
-
The devil thought he had me, but peace overwhelmed me.
-
In the name of Jesus, the devil is under my feet, not because
-
I'm powerful, but because peace is most powerful.
-
The devil is defeated not because of some trick or
-
something I've done, or not because I'm so anointed, but I
-
have peace. In the name of Jesus, the
-
devil's plans are cancelled because peace's plans have taken
-
space up in my life. I declare in the name of Jesus,
-
I give the territory of my mind back to peace.
-
I give my vocabulary, Larry, back to peace.
-
I give my conversations back to peace.
-
I give my thinking back to peace.
-
I give my dreams back to peace. I give my finances back to
-
peace. Back to peace we go.
-
Back to peace we go. Back to peace we go.
-
Back to peace we go. Your anointing comes from peace.
-
Your greatest authority comes from peace.
-
The reason why some of us cannot walk away from situations is
-
because we see people having our peace.
-
We see them staying having our peace.
-
We see that money coming as our peace.
-
Nope. I think every marriage is
-
restorable. I think every bank account is
-
restorable. Watch this starting with peace.
-
What if the strategy to get your marriage back?
-
Was to have peace. Peace changes everything.
-
It's why people say why did you mess with Kobe?
-
Why did you mess why? Why are you talking trash to
-
that man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Peace allows you to turn up in the face of your giants.
-
Watch this. If you learn.
-
To stand in peace in the midst of your storm.
-
Your storms will cease quicker because you could get out of
-
prison, but take prison with you.
-
You can get out of a storm, but take the storm with you.
-
And for some of you in here, what you've been going through
-
is what's inside of you. Watch this.
-
What's in you is causing more hail than what's outside of you.
-
You start walking in peace. Watch your lack of dependency on
-
that medication. It's crazy.
-
Billions of dollars, billions and billions and billions, maybe
-
trillions by now are being made was because people need peace.
-
Crazy crazy. Some of you are whacking your
-
brains over why that person won't change.
-
Like until they change and you going to pray God and God, God
-
won't you just change them? God, God you losing your peace
-
in prayer because God is saying no, no, no, no.
-
I actually allowed this to happen so you can hand them over
-
to me. Watch this.
-
You are praying to God about something He is saying.
-
You keep praying about it because you actually don't trust
-
me. Come on, turn that off.
-
Turn that off. Turn that off.
-
You keep praying about it because you don't trust me.
-
I said what I said, I said what I said.
-
Sometime you go to a prayer closet and God like here we go
-
because he said he knows what you what you need before here we
-
go again. They about to come back in here
-
with this whole say I already told him watch this, watch this.
-
You ready? You're not going to do it now,
-
but some people will come and ask for prayer after church.
-
Can you pray for my peace? Oh you didn't receive the
-
message? Me praying for your peace is not
-
going to do more than the message did, especially for an
-
hour and 15 minutes. What you talking about?
-
So you think a 2 minute prayer is going to do more than an hour
-
and 15 message on what you asking me to pray about?
-
Oh you need prayer because you don't believe the word but you
-
believe my prayer? OK, you can play again.
-
I I would say This is why we have the best news in the world.
-
We have the best God in the world.
-
We have the best answer in the world because the entire world
-
is looking for what he left us. That's crazy.
-
This. How silly.
-
You look looking for what they're looking for.
-
When he left it with you, right, you just let's just go shopping
-
because you want to buy some new jeans, not because you looking
-
for peace in jeans. So now instead of looking for
-
jeans, you could actually witness to the person.
-
We have the greatest commodity and as the days get darker, the
-
greatest thing, what every man and woman is going to be looking
-
for these last days, people going to be jumping out of
-
buildings because they don't have no peace.
-
Watch this. And you work in the next cubicle
-
and he left it with you. And because you didn't show
-
peace, they jumped off the bridge.
-
They didn't know peace was in the next cubicle, but you in the
-
lunchroom gossiping with them. So they don't know it's peace.
-
They don't know you got it because you mix it in mingling.
-
Lord, may the peace of God distinguish us in these last
-
hours. Distinguish us by your peace,
-
distinguish us by your presence and when the next storm
-
opportunity comes, family and friends are watching and how we
-
respond as we're as as old man is rising up and we about to
-
jump in jump in the boat with everybody else.
-
May we just pause and wait a minute.
-
Everybody here needs. When he left me, I got the keys.
-
May we realize what we're carrying.
-
Watch this and be wise with who we grieve with.
-
I need to grieve with someone that has the same peace that I'm
-
called to give. So you got to know when you're
-
the key, when somebody else is the key.
-
You got to know when God needs you to be the calm in the storm
-
and when you can be the storm and he brings you calm.
-
In this last season, people I can grieve with got slimmer.
-
So there's certain conversations I can't have with certain
-
people. Some of y'all the reason why
-
your family gives you the most hell because you don't give them
-
the most peace. Some of you in your family is a
-
great contradiction because in one breath you talk about Jesus,
-
you saved, you're a Christian. But when they hear you, I know
-
when you hear we don't. We don't all see your best be we
-
don't all see how you really talk.
-
We all we don't see the ugly. So how many people don't raise
-
your hand? Just raise your hand in your
-
head? How many people know some people
-
are here right now. You like if y'all can hear them
-
talking or acting at home, right?
-
I see a few hands. I see a few hands in the back in
-
your head. I see, I see.
-
Yeah, some of y'all different at home.
-
So you come here and you taking notes next to somebody that's
-
like, yeah, they ain't going to do it anyway.
-
They taking notes because they see you say hi bastard T love
-
you, God bless you, mighty man of God and you go home and they
-
effing this and effing that your contradiction.
-
So I'm here to tell you if your contradiction, you're not
-
sharing peace, you're sharing storms.
-
Some of us in here are the biggest stumbling block in our
-
friends and families lives because we have not crossed over
-
yet. The reason why we need heaven on
-
earth is because without it we have no witness.
-
So we need storms. Why?
-
Because storms expose peace. Storms don't really expose
-
chaos, it exposes peace. So I pray today, lift your hands
-
all over the room. I just want you to declare peace
-
is mines in Jesus name. Thank you so much for tuning
-
into this week's sermon. We pray you were challenged,
-
