UNLEASHED-(12PM) 11.16.25 (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

All right, now, now, now I know I got a few people that can fill

me on this. I got a few people that can fill

me on this. You can just tell your neighbor

you sit next to somebody. Period.

You next you sitting next to someone.

I don't need to fill in the blank.

This, this whole message today is about taking the extra off.

You better, you better start like loving me for who you see

right here. Amen.

I carry the presence of God on my life and that's more than

enough. If you knew who I was carrying

on my back, you would be my buddy.

Hallelujah. Coffee with me is one of your

greatest investments. Not that you buy me a latte, but

that that latte ushers in a conversation.

Yeah. You better understand the power

and the presence that's on your life.

I don't. I don't know about you, but I

don't just talk regular, Right. I got a fountain inside of me.

And if I get with the right person, they can pull some out

of me that can radically change they bloodline.

Not just them. That they bloodline right?

I got a generational flow on the inside of me.

I'm just trying to stir up a few other.

People in here. I got a generational flow that's

in my belly, right? So if you don't know how to pull

on, if you don't know how to pull on what's in this, well,

then I'm sorry, but I am no longer going to let your

ignorance plug up my river. Come on, come on, look at your

neighbors. Say I'm no longer going to let

your ignorance plug up my river. No, no, no.

No longer. Tell her, Oswald.

Tell her, Oswald. Tell her.

Tell her, Oswald. Tell her.

Tell her. Tell her.

Hallelujah. I see you, uncle.

How you doing, girl? Good to see you.

Tell your friend I said hi. How you doing, buddy?

Hey, man. All right.

We're just seeing how everybody doing right now, everybody good,

everybody ready to receive. I, I'm just patient right now

because I do feel I do, I do sense the Lord is wanting to do

something radical inside somebody's life.

Today. I I will say this.

I need one. 1000% of everybody to listen to me.

Even if you got babies, you got spouses, you got crazy friends

sitting next to you. Listen.

Listen up, there's for sure a couple people in here.

God wants to do radical, do something radical.

And I think he's having me tell you this right now because you

are too familiar with church, especially you, you that are

called the love question of church home.

God has been trying to get your attention for a long time.

Watch this. The storm may have seemed to

stop raging, but the shackles are still clanking in your life,

and so I dare a few of you to posture yourself.

Lord, first of all, I repent for approaching the Word and

approaching the fellowship of the Saints with so much

familiarity. Watch this that my hearing has

become dull. So on that point I am going to

bind a deaf spirit. Spiritual death, that God will

be able to penetrate past your deafness and get into the

corridors, the vestibule, the lobby of your soul and do

something groundbreaking. I would say to some of you

parents, your kids desperately need you to lay your shackles

down today. From parents to grandparents to

whoever you are, newlyweds, you do not have to end this year

with the same chains you've been carrying around.

And so we're going to take 60 seconds and it's not going to be

nothing loud. This is going to be more

reflective. And you go within and check your

heart. We're usually like, I'm coming.

I can't wait till after church. So I could talk to such and such

and I could talk to PT and I could talk to PJ and I could

talk to the elder. I could talk to my good friends.

What if they don't want to talk to you?

Watch this and now hear me very carefully.

I want to talk to the free you. So when I talk to you

afterwards, I want to hear a testimony.

So we're going to take the next 60 seconds and we are going to

to allow the Holy Spirit to to really help us so that we can

receive we posture ourselves in a place that Lord, we need to

hear your word today. That's where it starts that you

that you actually admit you need help.

Watch this. You don't just need a word what

you need a word for you need help.

I'll be the first one I need help.

Come on, I need help come on. If that's you and you need help

today, just as a sign of faith, just lift both hands and and

just under your breath you could say, Lord Holy Spirit, I need

help today. Come on, Holy Spirit, captivate

me today. Holy Spirit, take us deeper

today. Give us hearing today that

allows us to grasp what the Father is saying.

These chains can only be broken by you, Holy Spirit.

Some of you have You've tried therapy, you've tried medical

marijuana, you've tried alcohol, you've tried sex, you've tried,

you've tried. But listen, we don't have to be

like the woman with the issue of blood.

And I don't believe the Lord is trying to delay your freedom, so

you shouldn't either. God's not going to force you to

be free. He paid the price for you to be

free. And as we said, help our

unbelief. So, Lord, help our unbelief

Today may we shift from maybe you will, or maybe you can, or

maybe you desire to, to. Lord, I know you can.

I know you did. I know you desire to step into

that belief right now, Lord. We came for extra oil today.

Fill us up. Fill us up, Lord, fill us up.

Fill us up in this hour. And then we realized, Lord,

we're going higher to a new dimension.

This isn't merely a new season. I can enter a new season without

entering a new dimension, but if I enter that new dimension I

automatically enter a new season.

So help us unload every unnecessary weight in Jesus name

and like to shoot a my woman Lord.

Yeah, we may have not asked for the son, the gift, the call, the

ministry, the whatever it may be, but Lord, today that thing

that has been dead, that has been laying dormant, that has

been delayed, Lord, we take it back to the Word and we ask that

you breathe on it today. Like Ezekiel said, Lord, breathe

on these dry bones. So we ask that Your Word will

breathe into every crevice, Breathe new life.

May this be a time of refreshing.

And we come against every distraction, even family, even

friends, even phones. We come against every

distraction in this hour. Lord, we need help equip us so

we do not succumb to the darkness of this world.

That our ships. Will not continue to be tossed

to and fro. Getting off course, Lord.

Put us back on course today. Come on, put me back on course

today. Realign me today.

Realign my focus, Realign my energy.

Realign my plans. Realign me today, Lord.

And I just declare that this moment, no other moment, is more

important than now. Who's texting me?

Who's calling me where I'm eating after church?

None of that is more important than now.

May we be like Jesus in in John 4.

My nourishment comes from doing the will of my Father and

bringing it to completion. So receiving the Word is also

ministry, not just working on platforms.

So right now, Lord, we minister through hearing and we minister

through receiving like good children who lean on what their

fathers have to say. So we thank you for the Spirit

of revelation and the Spirit of wisdom and Jehovah Belparism

breakthrough Holy Spirit deliver in Jesus name.

Hear me out. I didn't grow up with options.

In Oakland, CA, I had to become everything I could be just to

survive and increase my chances to be successful before I go

forward. Like any good storyteller, any

good movie, hopefully you see yourself in here.

OK, This is not a rehab moment where I am.

It's my turn to confess. OK, this is not we're going in

circles. I am putting myself, watch this

right in the center of God's story and I am going to reveal

to you and hopefully he reveals to you how he's entered my

story. And so when I say something like

God can't ride on what's still tied up by fear, trauma,

performance, when I say I didn't grow up with options or many

options to be successful, quite frankly, I grew up behind in

Oakland, CA or in wherever you may have grown up.

I had to become everything I could be just to survive and, or

increase my chances to be successful.

So I, you know, tried to wiggle a little bit, Fanango a little

bit. I had to hustle.

I had to be an athlete. I, my Mama put me in football,

she put me in basketball, she put me in baseball.

One of these going to work, one of these going to work.

So I learned how to perform as a means to survive, not

necessarily always to have fun. Some of you have jobs and

careers as a means to make money, not necessarily living in

call. So.

So what I'm trying to get our attention to is how much do we

do and how much are we involved in that we feel we have to do in

order to make it The artists, man, I thank God for being an

artist because there's a lot of people in this church that in

the beginning, if I didn't have art, you know, we didn't have no

money, but we had some art. We went from building to

building, but we had art, we had music, we had basketball

leagues. You see, God equipped us for a

reason, but that reason is not for every season.

Everything God need has gifted you with he don't need every

season. Where I grew up, the price of

failure was not merely embarrassment, but it could be

death, it could be prison, it could be jail, or it could just

be you just fall off the face of the earth.

Where'd Terrance go? So I learned to adjust.

Somebody say adjust. I learned survival skills and

performance and it shaped how I made it through life.

Some things worked, some things didn't.

Some things were beneficial, some things were not.

And I realized in that I developed people pleasing

skills, right? You can have manipulation

skills, you can have hustle skills, you can have pimp player

skills, you can have go go dancer skills.

Watch this. You can have roll the weed

skills. I'm talking to somebody right

now. Right now I I'm talking to you,

right, because maybe maybe Saul was a murderer, but the Lord

said you can't do that. But I'll still take the same

passion. So what served Saul in one

season? Good, bad or indifferent?

God says I have need of that passion.

So now you murdered us. Now we about to murder some

demons. Now we about to murder religious

fear. Now we about to murder

complacency. Now we about to murder fear.

He used Paul's passion and boldness and courage.

He had need of him. So it's not just the bad you do,

it's not just the good. But at the core it wasn't about

a murderer for Jesus. It was about a courageous man

who I know if I still use him, he will have a revelation of my

love that the people that walked with me never had.

We're in an hour where God is raising up the remnant and He's

accelerating us, right? Because because the church folk,

the folk that think they know God, that been raised all the

time in the church, watch this, the very smart, intellectual

people who know God. By the way, I get the Bible, I

like to read, but when it comes to trusting God, what if you

didn't have your money? What if you didn't have the

resources? What if you didn't have it?

Do you trust God? Will you believe God?

So what you when, when things? This is what happened when, when

when God started allowing things to leave our lives and he starts

to purge things out of our lives.

We begin to get very frantic. Oh, he's exposing idols.

Watch this. What you can't live without, and

it ain't Jesus. It's an idol.

Some some things are beneficial, right?

I became whatever I needed to be to not be abandoned again.

Single parent household, single mom, single grandmama.

I didn't just need a job, I needed love.

From from a. Father, there was a lot of

emotional needs I needed. There was a lot of monetary

things I needed. And so you got to understand,

everywhere I had a need, I had to become something to increase

my chances to get that need met or that love fix.

This is why we have get to love fix man.

Because I tried the drug fix, I tried the sex fix, I tried the

alcohol fix, I tried the people please and fix.

You try all these things to fix you and still in the end, you

have not yet found love. You didn't even know there was

multiple kinds of love. You just thought love was love.

Just thought love in the basket. No Love's on the cross.

Born in a basket. But, but here's the truth guys.

You can leave the environment, but the environment doesn't

always leave you. The the yeast that made the

bread also has made a bed. Sometimes you find yourself

sleeping in comfort in a place that God no.

Longer needs you to rest. Yeah, I made it out.

I made it all the way to Canada. Hello.

But some of the survival that I needed, people pleasing and

performance skills did not make it out of me.

I grew. But I feel like God brought me

to a place I have I don't even know of to also get right.

Here it is. David had to spend that time

with Saul. Because as bad as we make Saul

out to be, David has some Saul in him.

So sometimes God will put you in a place and around some folks

that you might, you might iron sharpen iron, you might you, you

might just be in a place that's uncomfortable.

So God can reveal something about you that he has no longer,

he has no need for. And God is so big, He's like,

I'm taking you son, to a whole nother country.

Watch this not only to get it out of you, but to get it out of

your bloodline. Talk to me.

Somebody. God will sponsor a a cross the

border move just to clean up the bloodline.

You thought it was about a vacation.

God said man, I'm cleaning up the bloodline.

Right, right. God right, right.

Sometimes God, you can ask parents think it's all about

you. This is God moves me and Julia.

No, no, no. I told my kids the other day, I,

I kind of think God moved us here so y'all can be raised

here. I, I think, I think Micah came

here at 1. He Canadian.

We got to get here. If anybody in the family should

get citizenship, it's Micah, right?

But what, what, what we have to stop fighting against is when

God shifts us somewhere that we thought was just going to be a

vacation and it turned into a resident.

What do you call it in Vegas when you, when you, when you

have a residence, a residence and then it turns into a

residency? You got to start paying

attention and stop trying to run because God will put you in a

place around the people because he is trying to once and for all

clean up. No, nobody in my family ever

lived outside the country, let alone visited outside the

country. Nobody in my family.

So I'm a first generation pioneer, right?

And and as we learned last week, man, who in the bloodline is

going to be the sacrifice to turn everything around, not just

financially, but I'm talking emotion.

I'm talking about to a point that the DNA of the bloodlines

changed forever. So I see, I see I was trying to

win people. Here we go.

I started performing again. He moved me from a familiar

place. I was performing.

He moved me to a place that I don't know.

So now I really got to perform. And then I'll find scriptures

like I'm, I'm fishers of men. I'm a, I'm a Fisher of men.

So, you know, I, I need some bait.

So I'm going to do music or I'm going to do this or I'm going to

do that and watch this. I ain't even talking about a

demon. You think you just need to be

free from demons? What about yeast?

What about that secret stuff that's inside of you?

What about that household you was raised in and you didn't

have nothing to do with how your identity turned out, but you was

watched as you was raised by somebody with an identity

crisis. Watch this.

Some of you in here have been raised by fear.

I know, I know your mom and daddy got a name, but let's put

the spirit that raised you fear. The spirit that raised you was

addiction. The spirit that raised you was

insecurity. The spirit that raised you was

control. Let's talk about that.

That's who raised you. That's who prayed over you.

That's who confessed over you. The spirit that raised you was

manipulation. For some of you, wherever you

come from, the spirit that raised you was witchcraft.

And then you show up and you're like, why am I dealing with

this? You right, Let me help you out.

It's not because of anything you did.

But it was about everything you didn't know.

And then watch this. We we swear we, we just want to

look at our parents and be like our parents are so.

Good. We turn our head and you can't

turn your head on past generations because it informs

you if you got a chance to talk to your Mama and your daddy, it

will inform you about some things that God wants to get out

of you because he's saying it works for your Mama or it works

for your grandma and them. Because what your grandma went

through, they needed certain things that they needed and that

raised you. But now I'm telling you, for us

to go to 2026, you don't need your family, don't need what

they needed the last few decades.

I'm doing a new thing period, trying to win.

A people while losing myself, trying to not to disappoint,

trying to prove I deserve to be in rooms God put me in.

But the question is, while I was lost and he found me, why

haven't I yet found myself? I was building a life that

wasn't sustainable. And I heard God say, son, that's

scaffolding that kept you alive in a rough season or through

seasons, but it's not what's going to carry you into your

destiny. Scaffolding is temporary.

It's. Not the house.

It's what God lets you build around yourself until identity

is strong enough to stand. Some of what?

See, see, look, you will even raise your kids with like you

was raised, but with a few adjustments, right?

I, I made an adjustment. I actually want to talk to my

kids. There's moments where we're

where we get upset, but I actually want to get in the

conversation, let you know you hurt dad's feelings.

How about that one? I actually don't want you do

something. I don't want to just shut up.

Shut up, mom. Why?

It don't matter. No, let's explain why right.

So you do certain things that how you that's how I was raised.

It's only you can only play. This is how I was raised for so

long than God coming for it. Now the older people in here,

it's even harder for you because you like I'm good, but I don't

want to go to the grave with no chains, not one chain.

I want to go to the grave with, but some of you older people are

content where you are and you just are like, nobody knows it's

just us. Even if you're married, you're

like, we've dealt with it for long enough and we're good.

Because change sounds like a disruption, right?

It's like, it's like Sarah getting pregnant at that age.

And it's like, really. God, yeah.

For all you older people, if you still alive, you still got some

change that need to come off you.

There's still a dimension of joy that God has for you even at 70

years old, right? Your marriage can still be

popping, right? Right.

Can I talk to some marriages in here?

Watch this. What the marriage bed ain't just

for young people. So, so it's so it's like, so

it's like stop giving so many years away.

Some of y'all leaving years on the table.

You've already planned to not be active.

Might as well plan your funeral. If you just don't plan to be

inactive as you get older, just go ahead and just hop and just,

you know what I'm saying? Don't get sick.

Just hop in the casket and give up the ghost.

Finish the job. Finish the job.

You say you saved. If you saved and alive, God's

still got purpose for you. Watch this.

And your purpose ain't your kids.

I know parents don't like hearing here.

And that one. Yeah.

No, no, your your your purpose ain't your kids.

Your bloodline has a purpose. And you are to raise your kids

in the way they should go according to God's plan for the

bloodline, not for your satisfaction.

And you live through your kids. Hallelujah.

That's not even on the manuscript.

But somebody needed to hear it because God knows you need help.

So some of the things that held, God says some of what once held

you up is now holding you back. Hustling was scaffolding,

performing was scaffolding, people pleasing was scaffolding,

fear of disappointing was scaffolding.

And God says you're safe now, you don't need that anymore.

Take it down. So I can reveal the real

structure and then, boy, I'm talking to my wife on Monday and

she says Terrence. Chick-fil-A don't make tacos and

they don't apologize for it either.

If you want tacos, go down the street.

But here we do. Chicken watch this because

Chick-fil-A know what they good at and they stick to it.

They can close on Sunday. Watch this because my

authenticity is working for me. This ain't just because I'm

Christian, this because I know the one thing that God gave me a

word to do and I'm going to do that thing.

I'm not adding stuff because I'm afraid God ain't going to

provide I'm I'm not going to add stuff because I'm afraid that

this relationship, if I don't keep having this class, then

this person going to leave. Look, if a class made you leave,

then you and the class can go. Somebody got your class.

Hallelujah, we don't make. Tacos, Chick-fil-A, and honestly

that's always been the hard part for me because abandonment and

neglect and insecurities and fear and double mindedness.

They've been narrating my story since childhood.

Letting people choose anything other than me feels or felt like

rejection. And what child wants to keep

experiencing rejection? So I tried to do what Paul said,

become all things to all people. But I twisted it and I became

everything for everyone, only to discover all people don't want

all of me. Some people want the gift but

not the grit, the talent but not the testimony.

They want what? You do, but not who you are.

God said. Son, you're not Chick-fil-A

trying to add tacos. Stop adding items to your

identity just to avoid being abandoned.

What? Stop adding items to your

business. Stop adding items to your

relationship because you're afraid you're not going to make

it. Right now.

We're at this point where God is allowing, I'm talking to some

people, God is allowing it to seem like the end or a drought

or we ain't going to make it or famine or it's over.

God is allowing you almost to just stand there and by yourself

spiritually, you're feeling it. And so right now there's people

running to plug up these holes in their life.

You're trying to plug up fear. And it's like, watch this, if

the thing's shut down because God didn't order me to do the

extra, then maybe God is a part of why it shut down.

It didn't shut down because I wasn't good at what I was doing.

See what we have to. I learned this long time ago,

didn't practice it much, but deal with the reality of faith.

If my faith says stay here, and by staying here I miss out on

there, I'm better off missing out in faith than to be chasing

something around in disobedience.

Whoever I'm talking to, God didn't tell you to add that.

Don't start with God and do the process with you.

Don't do that. I got it from here.

God, watch this. But you prayed some of y'all

walked in here tied to what you had to be.

But tonight you're walking out as who you were created to be.

Yeah, you. You survived by becoming many

things, but you'll step into destiny by becoming the one

thing. I I feel like a one thing

anointing, right? But when we hear one thing,

right, when we hear one thing, we seem to think that that mean

nothing else, that that means no, no, I'm a still play

basketball as long as I'm healthy.

But maybe I can't exercise my time or give my time or

whatever. Basketball going to look

different or music going to look different, right?

When something's a part of you, it's a part of you.

But maybe you going to go from on the mic to the mixing board,

maybe you go go from the headliner to the manager.

I don't know. But but is it the is it the

actual music industry? Is it the sports world?

Is it the business world? Or is it something that feeds

you? So you need to do that thing.

So I don't want to be a manager because they always backstage

and nobody really see them. Oh, so you want to be seen?

You don't just want to be the headliner, you want to you want

to be the headliner because you want to be seen.

So you don't want to be in the music.

You don't love music, you love attention.

Oh, maybe I'm going to be a coach in this season.

I don't know. Maybe I'm going to be a player

in this season. Maybe I'm not going to play in

the leagues. I don't know.

Maybe I'm going to help people breakdown film, I don't know.

Is it I love basketball or is it when I play, sure, I stay in

shape, but there's also something else around it.

What what are you doing? What are you involved in?

And it's connected to something you're trying to cover up.

So you're not getting a love fix, you're getting some false

fix. And in two years you're still

going to have to come to this moment like God doesn't change

his mind. If it ain't going to work today,

promise you it ain't going to work later.

And if it works later, you just going to be laboring to make it

work because you want to prove to somebody that it.

And then you're going to use scripture that if God befalled

me, who can stand there? Don't manipulate.

There's a scripture to support your error too.

Your error don't change the truth.

That's how we have all these religions.

So what do you do when scaffolding turns to chains?

I don't want to really get into too much of me right now.

I want to talk to you like what do you do when something that

may be just a talent OR it may be a hobby or it may be an

interest or it may be something that got you through life

because you grew up in poverty or the thing that you do, it's

the very thing that moved you to Canada and got you here.

But now God's like, OK, let me refine that.

I don't have need of that. So what?

What once served you in a survival in survival can't lead

you into purpose. Scaffolding is temporary watch

structure that supports construction until the permanent

structure can stand on its own. What if I told you today you can

stand? You're actually stronger than

you think you are. There's actually more word in

you than you think it is. There's all there's actually

more boldness and courage in you than you think you are.

And you want people to to respect who you are today, but

you still living in who you was back then.

Introduce the new you, the new strength to people Say once the

building is complete, the scaffolding must come down, not

because it is useless, but because its purpose is finished.

Can can God tell a few people today that what He used last

season, the purpose is finished? That's in persons, that's in

places, and that's in things. And there are people that serves

me and I serve them for a season.

And the truth of the matter is they not ride or die friends.

They they were there for a season.

They were encouragement for a season.

They I lived somewhere before and we had a good relationship.

But the moment I moved, trying to keep that relationship was

more grievous and more burden carrying than it was just

letting it go. Can you accept that God don't

need it now? God don't need you to perform.

God can provide way more for you not performing right, but we're

such in a culture. Grind, grind, grind, grind,

grind, grind, grind. If you ain't up at 5:00 AM, you

losing right? Only the dogs come out at 4:00

AM. You can't say you can't say that

that dog. So then you tried 4:00 AM he

like, oh Lord, this ain't for me, this ain't for me, Watch

this, watch this. But you get your work out in at

8:00 AM. But then you watch that clip.

That's like, man, Eric, man, you know, on the East Coast, it's 11

AM folks on lunch break now and you on the treadmill.

But but I but if I was in on the East Coast, I'd my 9:00 AM would

be earlier. So now we're in this time where

it's not OK to do what fits. For your rhythm, you got a whole

generation trying to clip on the everybody else rhythm because

although you don't have their life, you want they fruit.

So you're like, if I try to do what they do, maybe I can get

they fruit. But watch this.

You need they soil and they rhythm in order to produce they

fruit. Maybe that guy that has a global

business need to be up at crazy times of the hour because when

it's when it's when it's midnight here, it's 9:00 AM

somewhere else. So it's no longer God's rhythm.

It's what people say is going to work and what ain't going to

work. Oh, you left work to you left

house today and didn't get your devotion time in.

Now you convicted all day. You like my day messed up

because I didn't read my 10 minute devotion. yo-yo you God

day ain't messed up. He's still ready for you.

But you just believe that man. I got to get up right there and

before I do anything you read, you just read through the

scripture. You ain't even woke, but because

you, because, because your phone said you've accomplished your

time, your reading time today, maybe your chains.

Were once scaffolding and this is the fast, man.

Eat your chips, eat your burgers, whatever you're going

to do man. But but listen, you, you follow

the fast to the T Here's what God's coming for.

Is this not the fast which I chose?

To undo the bonds of wickedness, to tear to pieces the rope of

the yoke, to let the oppressed go free and break apart.

Watch this every watch this every last one of y'all include

me got some chains. I love sitting here looking at

some of y'all like you just come to church and you just when when

the word going forth it don't it, don't it don't hit your face

it don't it don't it don't you just like.

Right, but if your son or daughter was dying and sitting

under a car, how would you be? Watch this.

Your child actually needs you to get free from every chain

because whatever chains you don't get rid of, you pass on.

Oh, I love my kids. What?

Well, well, get ready to change. Sometimes you're getting rid of

them because your kids need you to get rid of them because they

tired of being raised by them. He he is not just breaking what

holds you, he's also removing what hides you.

Now I know I'm talking to some people.

You didn't hid behind your career.

You didn't hid behind your marriage.

Some of y'all hide behind your kids, right?

It ain't nothing like when you get married.

I'm not talking to parents. I'm talking to parents.

Yeah, and I'm talking to future parents as well.

But when you when you get when you get something new that

becomes you like, oh, I didn't even know.

I can use this as why? No, no, watch this the Bible

brings to us. He said it's supper time.

He goes and gets the people and one says I just got married.

One say I just bought some property.

In other words, I just, I just bought some cattle and I need to

tend to it. Bible says whoever gives up

husband and wife and father and mother and so forth and so

forth, for my sake. In that same year you will

receive a great harvest. So he doesn't mean don't, don't,

don't, don't, don't, don't be father, don't be mother, don't

be. But when it gets in front of the

purpose he designed for you before you had kids.

So what's hiding you? Sometimes he's not asking you to

change your rhythm, he's asking you to change your dependency.

Sometimes God's trying to get you less dependent on the thing.

So he's like man, keep on doing what you're doing, but the

dependency is the is the problem.

How you depending on that? Is the problem how you are?

Let that dictate who you are, your mood, your day.

Go into the village Yonder. There, as you go in, you will

find a donkey coat tied on which no man has ever yet sat.

Loose it and bring it here. If anybody asks you why are you

untying it, you shall say everybody say with me because

the Lord has the need of it. Somebody say one more time the

Lord has need of it. So unleashed from not time to

glory time. Whenever God has a need, He

breaks you from what you thought you needed.

If he needs it, I need it. At this point, he's on his way

from transition, or he's is He's in a transition before triumph.

This is the beginning of passion week or week of passion, and

he's transitioning, heading to triumph.

There's a cult that's untrained, ordinary, somebody say, yet yet

reserved. There's a conditions.

The condition is there. He's tied, bound, restricted

potential, yet waiting. I love this word.

Yet in spite of action continues this donkey never been ridden.

Perfect servant, perfect sacrifice, and he's tied up.

And the instructions was untie, release break restrictions.

Untie release break restrictions, untie release

break restrictions. Untie release break

restrictions. I I love the visual of this to

break restrictions. People pleasing is a restriction

living in a life of oh, I don't know if I'm going to have

enough. It's a restriction on freedom.

I don't know if this is going to work.

I got to I got to that's a restriction.

And then watch this. Your household pays for it

'cause you carry around this anxious spirit.

Watch this. You can smile and still release

anxiety from your spirit. So just 'cause you smile and

don't mean your spirit is good, right?

Why? The Lord has need of you.

The Lord has need of you, right? Divine purpose overrides human

possession. He says hey, there's going to be

a owner there. He's going to ask where his

donkey going. In other words, tell him it's

mine, I need it right now. The donkey wasn't going to the

cross, so let's assume he got it back.

OK, But the master said I have need of it.

So no matter what has been owning you in the past, when the

master comes and said it's time that I have you let no demon in

hell can hold you. We see this donkey tied in the

village. We we it can symbolize we've

been potentially locked inside the village of pain and

performance caused by watch this some of y'all hustle how you

hustle because you want to make sure you don't you don't you

don't raise your kids how you was raised that that's not a

mission. That's fear.

You're you're you're not watch this fear can lead to poverty.

No, no, no, I'm not trying not to raise my kids.

No, I if if I just be me, who God created me to be.

There's some areas they will be raised like me, but there's some

areas that God don't need me because they're different than

me. What God wants to bring out of

them. Watch this sometime in our kids

we raise in US. Oh not because they act like us,

because we think they us, we living through them where we're

raising. I don't do that because I

remember when I used to do that or oh, don't do that because

whenever I did that, it brings you trauma because you got beat

when you did that. You got a whooping when you did

that. So now you put shackles on your

kids because you afraid that you're going to release that

same anger. So now your kid is restricted

because you raising them based on how you was or wasn't raised.

You're not raising them based on the new thing God's doing in

your bloodline. Watch this.

Every person that got a baby and they and they a baby, as a

parent, they're a new thing. Do you not perceive it?

I don't care if you got 10 kids, you got 10 new things.

And God is masterful enough to make all 10 things work for one

bloodline. Good God Almighty, this donkey

represents the believer whose gifts, calling and identity has

been tied up by fear, lies, confusion and disappointment.

Don't get offended. Every person in here is the

donkey. You ain't Jesus or the

disciples, You're the donkey. Everyone of y'all don't get.

Offended you, a donkey? Today I may have walked in tied

up, but today I'm walking out as the version heaven dreamed of

before earth ever wounded me. Come on.

So, so so did you download the new the new version?

OK I didn't or I did and it didn't pop up and I need it

please. So I'm I'm

all right, all right, all right. I'm going to just do it do it

off of here. I'm going to just do it off of

here and do it off of here. No, it's good.

It's good. It's good.

Yeah. There we go.

That believer whose gifts, calling and identity has been

tied up by fear, lies, double mindedness, confusion and

disappointed. Man, I'm talking to you because,

man, I look at some people, I'm like.

Man, they function and then they and they call early and young.

I'm sorry I've wasted too much time.

Maybe some of you in here don't mind, but I want to be that

intentional and I want to narrow it down.

I don't got time to play around no more.

John 11 says this and out walk the man who had been dead, his

hands and feet wrapped in burial clothes and with a burial napkin

bound around his face. Jesus said to them, freedom of

the burial wrappings and what? Let him go man.

They sent the disciples to the donkey.

Watch this. So God is sending people to

untie you. I'm anointed.

I'm anointed to to to facilitate an untying right?

Jesus has sent me to untie. OK, watch this.

He said free him of the burial wrappings and let him go.

So there. So there's 22 to three phases

here. He said free him unwrapping,

then let him go so he can free you, but you still have to come

untie the donkey and bring the donkey to me.

And so many people want deliverance, but then don't want

to follow. OK, so free me.

So you want an exorcism? That's why he said who the

sunset. Free is free indeed.

You go to your psychic. You go whoever you want to.

But until the sun sets you free, you are free indeed.

I don't know about you, but I'm after free indeed the the first

Samuel. What's this?

First Samuel 22, then the prophet Gad said to David do not

remain in the stronghold. Look, God sent them, sent the

man to go get David out The Cave.

So maybe you like now I don't got no change, but you in The

Cave, you hiding, you afraid of the persecution.

So you in your mental cave. So you performing and the Lord

is calling you out of your cave of performance.

Yo cave watch this of I need to be around people with status

because that make me feel like success.

No, no, no, come out of your cave and watch this.

He say leave no don't come out The Cave and then just be a cave

janitor like no, no no, you got to get far away from The Cave in

Jesus name. And he said and get into the

land of praise. I mean and get into the land of

Judah. My bad.

Get into the land, come out of your cave and enter a praise.

OK, I'm talking to like 5 people in here right because I got to

exercise. I don't got no shackles no more

take these shackles out of my fees.

Oh I can dance right? I just want to praise Him.

So He calls them out The Cave into a praise.

Today I may have walked in tied up, but today I'm walking out as

the version God dreamed of before earth ever wounded me.

Today I may have walked in tied up, but today I'm walking out

wrapped in revelation, fortified in identity, and carrying a

glory that's been waiting for me longer than I knew.

Today I may have walked in tied up, but today I'm walking out

loosed, lifted, and launched into a new dimension of grace

and glory. Somebody shout out today.

Unleashing is not just freedom, it's fulfillment.

Your freedom has been spoken before you got broken been

spoken. That rope wasn't punishment.

The rope was prophecy. The containment was prophecy.

Being held back was prophecy. Born in that family that held

you back, that abused you, man, let me tell you, that abuse was

prophecy. How do I know his prophecy?

Because he, even if you don't find your abuse in the

scripture, I could put it in here.

He turns everything together for his good.

What the enemy meant for evil, God turns it around for good.

All things work together for that's prophecy.

That's the Lord saying, no matter what happens to you,

there is a word that can turn everything around.

You see the fulfillment in Zechariah 9.

It's there Jesus, like I got to take a donkey because it's been

spoken. Watch this.

The people that say love quest my church until we start.

So if God sent you to this church because it was lit, God

also sent you here when you get hurt if he if he see if this is

my church, I'd say this way EJ all the time.

We we call to it all. So I'm not watch this.

I'm not running from contention. I'm running to it so we can

hurry up and get it over because divorce is not an option.

Yes, what you mean divorce You only got one wife.

Yes, absolutely, but I'm in covenant with y'all church home

is a type of covenant and sometimes the covenant is only

one sided. I ain't going nowhere because

I'm in covenant. You might choose to go where you

won't because you ain't in covenant.

You just dating love quest. I think we a good date though.

I think we a good date. I think we fine.

I think we fine. Probably the best date.

Amen, Amen, Amen. I'm in covenant when we grew up

in our in our little black church.

Let let me help you all in here. Stop saying that love quest a

black church. It's not because I'm Denana.

I I grew up in a black church. Stop it.

This ain't a black church, OK? Just trust me.

If it was a black church, we would fight better.

We wouldn't run out the back door.

If this was a black church, right?

We, we, we fight for generations.

We fight. We, we cheat, we lie.

We, we, we, we, we, we talk about each other and then we

sing together and then we cry together and then we, we, we

talk it out. The deacons grab us and say, ah,

sisters, I say, you going to come over here?

You going to talk? You're going to talk about this.

We do all of that. Church ain't a courtroom.

So, Andy, maybe you're not walking out the back door, but

you ain't stepping in you on the fringes.

So when the wind blow, you are susceptible to get caught up in

the wind 'cause you hang out on the fringes and you got all

kinds of excuses why you won't go deeper.

But this donkey always got a seat for Jesus.

Don't talk about me. I ain't calling you no donkey.

I am calling you a donkey. But I'm saying he might not have

a seat with you, but this donkey always got a seat for Jesus.

Because while they laugh, while they laugh, he loosen and he's

lifting. While they mark he's, he's

molding and making. And while they gossip, he is

gracing and he's guiding. God is about to take what's been

tied and use it for his next ride.

You don't need a new season. You need a new freedom.

That's what you need. Yeah, Patty.

And in the Luke 13, he tells the woman, you are free.

I release you forever. I don't know about you, but 2025

is my forever, ever. I, I really, I really see that.

I, I see you being about your generational business, Laura.

I see, I see you. I see you right.

This is my this is my forever ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

Now now we're not going back there no no more.

We ain't going there no more Tell somebody the tide is

turning now the tide T i.e. D the tide is turning now we

ain't going there no more. God uses the the foolish stuff,

the foolish stuff. He uses the foolish stuff.

First Corinthians one says that foolish stuff.

Somebody say foolish. Yeah, He uses the foolish stuff

to confine the wise, the smarty pants, the people that know it

all. He will take a donkey and say

I'm gonna use a donkey. Yep, I know it's a donkey.

I made the donkey. I see it's a donkey.

I see it. I see it, I see it.

And you like, we'll get the donkey out of here because can't

a donkey pastor me? Can't a donkey lead me?

Can't a donkey do this? Can't a donkey do that?

And God say, watch this donkey lead you.

You don't need an evolution, you need a revelation.

God ain't asking you to become a something new.

He's revealing what he's already put in you.

God wants to use what's ordinary, overlooked and tied

up, and use it for His extraordinary glory.

Am I talking to anybody? Today, that's why it acts for

you see these brothers, they was they was like they these boys

didn't even go to school like us.

They not like us. They was the ones that was the

first they not like us. Kendrick Lamar give them their

royalties. They not like us, right?

They was they was doing this and they said watch this.

Here's the key. But they had been with Jesus.

Can people tell you've been with Jesus?

Yeah. Jesus doesn't pick Stallion's

status. He picks Donkey's service.

Yeah. He he doesn't need you because

he's missing something. He needs you because he made you

for something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. He doesn't need you because he's

missing something. He needs you because he made you

for something. Come on, Somebody say he's

intentional. Yeah.

You. You.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

You weren't tied up to be forgotten.

You were tied up to be prepared. Come on, come on.

I know you can't say Amen till you read it.

Now say Amen. Amen.

You weren't tied up to be forgotten.

You were tied up to be prepared. Somebody say I'm prepared.

Come on. We see this.

We see this. We see this.

That a donkey represents royalty to a king.

So I don't mind being called a donkey because I'm I'm the

King's ride. The donkey is peaceful rule.

Horses symbolized war. Donkeys symbolize

reconciliation. That's why he took a donkey to

the cross to reconcile us back to the Father.

This is a never ridden animal was considered sacred for royal

and divine purposes. We see this, the owner had to

surrender. To the Master.

So I got to be where the Word needs me, not where people

picture me. So expect misunderstanding.

When God is calling you to freedom, expect people to hold

back. Expect it.

Divine need Trump's human permission.

When God has need of you, he is going to make it happen because

he has need of you. So you either surrender or just

watch it all fall apart. Watch this, be careful, we're

going to land this. Watch this.

Be careful to not see the donkey as the problem when it might

just be the prophet. Watch this.

Be careful to not see the donkey as the problem when the prophet

might be or sorry, the donkey might be the prophet.

I know, I know you. You'll read your Bible.

That's why I put Numbers 22 up there, so you can go read it.

It's in there, Balaam. Now watch this.

Watch this. You'll appreciate this.

Balaam's on his donkey. Balaam's on a mission.

An Angel was sent to stop him. Watch this.

Balaam is this proclaimed self-proclaimed seer.

You ready? Balaam is a seer.

He sees spiritual things. But now the donkey has a sight

he don't got. Be careful being so prophetic

you can't hear the prophet. So pastoral you don't want to be

LED. So evangelistic you don't want.

You can't be one. This donkey falls.

And he like Halem, like, OK, this ain't this.

Here's the key. This ain't never happened

before. Watch this.

This ain't never happened before some of y'all.

This ain't never happened before, right?

Elder John ain't never happened before in my life, right?

Not like that ain't good Fe ain't never happened before in

my life, right? There's a whole lot of in a all

nations church. A whole lot of ain't happened

before. My God be up to something with

his ain't having right, Right. God's called you here and you're

like, I never thought I would be in a church like this.

Yeah, this that donkey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's people that come and go watch this, watch this.

There's some people that can't stay because they never saw

themselves being led by a man of color.

Racial bias. It goes both ways, too.

This isn't just white, it's black, white as well.

It's both ways. And so we, we we run from the

unfamiliar, not paying attention.

Maybe God is trying to get our attention and he's using this

foolish thing to get the foolishness out of me.

Right, Balaam's a seer, and now the donkey sees an Angel that

Balaam can't see. What will God do to change the

trajectory of your life? Jesus jumped in the woman at the

well story. He clipped off her chains.

He did not ignore her, and now the streets know his name.

She had a, she, she, she had a, she had a, a, she had a little

reputation out there in them streets.

Yes, she was in the streets. Watch this guy say I need to use

you because you folks know you, you, you didn't ran a few laps

around the neighborhood. You got that evangelism on you,

Amen. The enemy got a hold of your

evangelistic gifts, so you were on them streets.

So watch what he does. He gets a hold of her right to

the street. She a donkey.

We'll leave that there, Amen. Jesus sits.

Where culture says you don't belong.

She she's misunderstood, labeled and isolated.

Yet Jesus needs her story to evangelize a whole city.

What is God asking you to let go so you can evangelize your whole

workplace or your whole city? Watch this, I love this.

God will send a Samaritan to reach a Samantha.

You like that, Andrew? You like that God will send a

Samaritan to reach a Samanida even when religious folks don't

understand the assignment? Hallelujah, I'm Samaritan guys

and God has brought me to Samanida.

Here it is. God is using you to disrupt the

culture of comfort and awaken a new breed of believers.

Man, come on. Not polished religion but real

redemption. Come on, shout out Lord use me.

I want to pray a prayer of Lucy and I think sometimes

deliverance doesn't always have to look just messy and like.

A horror movie. Horror movie.

You're right. They don't got it, folks.

Don't, We don't need rags and we don't need throw up and all of

that. Like there's those cases and

we're not scared of those. You've been around here long

enough. We ain't.

We Bring it on. But I don't believe this is that

I I believe that there's a huge identity crisis if some of you

are slaving only to still not find yourself.

You're losing yourself, you're carrying weight, right?

God wants to do something a 2 hour massage can't do to your

shoulders, right? When we say.

Loose. We ain't talking about stretch.

No, no, no, no. Andrew can't help you.

Pastor Daniela can't help you. We're not talking about that

kind of loosen up. We talk about get free.

Be willing to be your authentic self and whoever likes it,

great. You hope they hear from God and

God has called them to the weirdness of your life.

And if your weirdness is authentic, right, I'm here to

tell you, don't start making tacos.

Or if all you do is make tacos, make tacos.

Let me do chicken, you do tacos. I believe the Lord is calling us

to simplicity. Watch this.

Not in the realm of false humility.

Simplicity can mean multifunctional, but the

simplicity that grace brings, not less brings.

So you got to find out where your grace is and just be good

with that, especially ending the year out.

We were back there a few minutes ago trying to figure out certain

things. What are we going to do?

Are we going to do first time attendees?

We're going to do offer and compel.

We're going to do this. We're.

Going to do that I'm like Nah, you know what let's give it a

few months and the wind is blowing let's do what we do

well, we we preach, we sing we we'll.

There'll be time to work out the kinks in that area, and God

wants you to lay some stuff down to work out the kinks.

Because it's kinked in with your identity and God says you don't

even need that to be who I called you to be.

So maybe he's asking you to lay it down just so he can

reprioritize your focus. He can get you leaning on him,

not leaning on it. You like at the end of the day

to take a sip of drink? Maybe God's saying lay the drink

down so I could take the edge off the end of your day.

I know some people in here, you messing with my alcohol.

See it's an idol. Even a sip like God can't

possibly come and say, hey, you've been drinking for 40

years today you don't need it. All the words you got in you

what you need that you need some living water.

But that's a whole nother topic that we will not talk about

because guess what? You can find a Taco shop down

the street where they do Bible studies and bruise.

So if you love pastors that drink with you, go down the

street. We do chicken.

No preservatives, no additives. Mana fed.

Amen. Father, help our unbelief.

You are our Master and we thank you that you are moving us from

performance to pillars in the Kingdom.

So I want to pray this prayer of breaking over your life and you

can lift your hands. You can Stan.

I heard some people in the first experience repeating after me.

It's not on the TV. Get it in your spirit.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we come out.

I'm, I'm, I'm not saying it so you can repeat it, but if you

could stay, if you could, if you could stay with me, great.

If not, I'm gone. Father, in the name of Jesus, we

come out of every place we were tied to.

Every post of fear, every rope of rejection, every knot of

trauma, performance and unworthiness.

Tonight we release it. Now, in the name of Jesus, we

cast every care we untie, every burden we break, every silent

agreement we made with shame. Lord, you said the Lord has need

of it. So tonight we say you can have

the real me, not the edited version.

Let's just do some some pads or something, OK?

This is not an R&B moment, OK? We, we, we going to start over.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we come out of every place we were

tied to, every post of fear, every rope of rejection, every

knot of trauma, every knot of performance and unworthiness.

Tonight we release it. We cast every care we untie

every burden we break every silent agreement.

And we made that. We've made with shame.

Lord, you said. The Lord has need of it.

So tonight we say you can have the real me.

Not the edited version of me. Not the scared version, not the

performing version, not the lying version, not the

manipulative version, the authentic version, the anointed

version, the chosen version. Break the chains of people

pleasing. Break the chains of comparison.

Break the chains of abandonment. Break the chains of not enough.

Break the chains that kept us surviving when you have called

us The Walking purpose. Lord, tonight the scaffolding of

old identity is coming down. In the name of Jesus, reveal the

structure of who I actually AM. I renounce every lie that said I

had to be everything for me to be accepted.

I renounce the fear of letting people walk away.

I renounce the pressure to perform for love when you

already chose me tonight. God, unleash me, untie me, undo

me, unmask me, unleash me, untie me, undo me, unmask me, unleash

me, untie me, undo me, unmask me, unmask me, untie me, undo

me, unmask me. Reveal the son.

Reveal the daughter. Reveal the assignment.

Reveal the glory on my back even when I don't feel it yet.

Every chain that tied me to who I used to be, break it.

Every lie that told me I wasn't enough, break it.

Every fear that kept me from performing, break it.

Every voice that tried to define me, break it.

Every lie that I came in agreement with, break it.

Coming in the name of Jesus. We come against sexual

immorality. Break it.

We come against the spirit of pharmakia.

Break it, Father. We come against sickness and

disease. In the name of Jesus, break it.

We come against the spirit of Leviathan.

Break it. We come against the spirit of

Jezebel. Break it.

Break manipulation. Break the spirit of pride.

Break the spirit of fear. Break the spirit of poverty.

In the name of Jesus, break it. I am no longer tied to trauma.

I am no longer tied to fear. I am no longer tied to survival.

I am no longer tied to people's approval.

I am free. I am chosen.

I am needed. I am anointed.

I am called. I am released.

I am the vessel God rides in on. The Lord has need of my voice.

The Lord has need of my story. The Lord has need of my scars.

The Lord has need of my authenticity.

The Lord has need of my mind. He has need of my hands.

He has need of my on my feet. He has need of my cadence in my

voice. He has need of me.

So we take it off, we take it off, we take it off.

We put it down. We put it down.

We put. It down, we down.

We walk away. We walk away.

We walk away. We take it off.

We take it off. We put it down.

We put it down. We put it down.

We walk away. We walk away, We walk away.

I am free, I am free. We take it off.

We take it off. We take it off.

We put it down. We put it down.

We put it down. We down.

We walk away. We walk away, We walk away.

I am free, I am free. We take it off.

We take it off. We take it off.

We put it down. We put it down.

We put it down. We walk away.

We walk away. We are free.

We are free. We take it off, we take it off,

we take it off. We put it down, we put it down,

we put it down. We walk away, we walk away, we

walk away. I am free, I am free.

The Bible said he called David out The Cave and he went to

Judah. So after a cute prayer of

shackles off, then there's a requirement for a prophetic

praise. God said let my people go so

they can worship me. And all that gold that he gave

them wasn't so they can, you know, start up a swap meet.

It was so they could worship him.

So, Lord, we thank you for wooing us out of The Cave.

Thank you. And Lord, I'm just going to

choose to believe today, as you told that woman that was bent

over 18 years, Lord, he said she was free forever.

So I'm going to take my forever ever, ever, ever freedom and

walk out this place today. And when the winds blow, may we

remember, wait a minute, I'm free forever.

So every giant in my way coming down, every lie in my way coming

down, every bear in my way coming down, every strategy in

my way coming down, every scheme is coming down, every sickness

is coming down, every fear is coming down, every insecurity is

coming down. So as you leave this place

today, just know that the freedom starts within.

So when you look around and it don't look free, it don't sound

free. Remember, you got freedom to

release. Yes, freedom does not happen to

you. It comes out of you.

And so I don't care what comes my way.

I'm just looking for a few bold people.

That's like wind blow. Do what you got to do, but you

going to run into a free man. You, you no longer Yesterday you

saw a bound man, but today you're going to run into a free

man. So, Lord, we thank you and we

will steward our freedom. Anything that is not like you or

of you is coming down. And Laura, we will not, we will

not run from the table that you're preparing in the presence

of our enemies. We will sit down and we will

rest and keep our eyes fixed on you.

It's coming down. Somebody needs to know and see

it's coming down. It's coming down for some of you

who didn't already came down, you about to walk out of here

into a finished work. Now here's the here's the here's

the plot. You're going to walk out of

here, you're going to pick up your phone and you're going to

see chains. Somebody going to text you and

you're going to see chains. Somebody going to call you and

you're going to see chains. Here's here's what you just got

power to do not pick up, not answer when you respond, you

putting chains right back on. So please don't come in here and

get free forever. That forever ever freedom and

then walk out of here and be so easy to be like lock me up here.

You can have my peace, but the peace thieves is coming down.

The joy thief is coming down. Put on your backpack.

So we going to leave, OK? We going to leave.

You got to stop messing with me, Judah.

OK, we have some announcements. If you want to know what's going

on, please go to the back, see our homecoming team, our men's

ministry have something at the end of the month.

Mandate is the last gathering of the year.

There'll there'll be more information about that coming

soon. And then we know to all the

givers, there is an opportunity for you to give today.

I don't think you got a big generous people and so I pray a

blessing over every seed sown in advance.

May God bless it, prosper it, and may you be cheerful in your

giving prompt to do hilarious giver in Jesus name.

May we not be bound by poverty. I'm free to give, I'm free to

fight. We're not God's, not done.

And although we're out of time, there is so much faith and

belief in this place. And till next time man, you know

what it is. Hope to see you on Wednesday

it is. Get your love fixed man.
