We All Here: Arrested by Grace- (12PM) 11.9.25 (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.

When the jailer startled when the jailer startled out of his

sleep, he saw that the. Prison.

Doors were open. All this will make sense, OK?

The jailer fell asleep thinking that the prisoners was locked up

and secure with chains. Paul and Silas in a dungeon at

the bottom of the prison. Say the bottom.

He drew his sword and was on the point of killing himself because

he supposed that the prisoners had escaped.

But Paul shouted, Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.

Somebody shout out. We are all here.

A little bit louder, we are all here.

Then the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and

trembling and terrified, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and

he brought them out of the dungeon and said, Men, what is

it necessary for me to do that I may be saved?

What is it necessary for me to do that I may be saved and they

answered believe if you've been here for the last few weeks,

we've been talking about a message called help my unbelief.

Powerful go listen to it powerful help my unbelief.

He says for you to get what what you want, Sir, believe So you

have a picture really quick. This is the jailer talking to

the prisoners who are now free by way of the doors breaking

because of a great shaking. OK, They're not free because

their sentence is up. They're not free because the

devil left them alone. They are free because they use

the weapon that God gave them, especially when you're in the

dungeon. So he like, whoa, he's ready to

kill itself. The apostle Paul says hold up.

And he says, if I'm going to live, what do I need to do to be

saved? He says believe.

Here's what believe is give yourself up to him.

Take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself

into his keeping and you will be saved.

And this applies both to you and your household.

He did not ask them about his household.

Keep that in mind. He asked them about him.

The apostle said there's something I know about you

getting saved. There's something that I know

about you doing it right. There's there's a ripple effect

that I know in the Kingdom happens when the person God

comes after or when the person God is setting up.

There is a ripple effect when God gets a hold of you and you

grab a hold of him. Somebody say ripple effect.

Today's message is called We all here shout that out arrested by

grace. We're we're all in the same

room, correct? We're all in the same room, but

some of us are in different prisons.

Don't walk in here acting like you nobody came to church

because they got it all together.

We all in here, we all here. We are all in the same room, but

some of us are in different prisons.

Some of us are wearing different prison clothes.

But trust, if we all go through the metal detectors of heaven,

we all got some metals that heaven don't need.

We all have unnecessary weights that heaven don't need and we

all got something nasty about us, on us and somebody is being

infected by us. We all here can I get a couple

honest witnesses to say you don't got to say it out loud

because the person you sit next to know you nasty.

So you some of y'all got accountability with you, some of

y'all walk in here with your spouse and you walk in here with

your kids. You walk in here with your

friends and you and y'all y'all look cute together and y'all got

to hold hands or y'all got to seem like y'all unified.

But when you at home, y'all at each other throat nasty when you

hear you know how not to cuss. But when you out there, you got

such a flippin mouth and couldn't nobody tell that you

know Jesus, Jesus don't even sound right coming out of your

mouth to the ones that know how you really talk nasty from me to

the back, from the windows to the walls, all the way to the

nasty kids. See, parents want to get

offended because they they don't talk about my kids.

I know my kids nasty, but you can't call my kids nasty.

Look, we was all born in sin. Every last one of y'all kids if

they can walk, they stole something before it may not got

out the store, but they stole something.

It it it may not got out of your bedroom, but they stole

something. Look, look, look, Micah when he

was little, maybe maybe still a little bit now, but like Malachi

be like bro, where my money at everybody in the house.

Micah my, my, I got to he and this is how he tell on his self

he's about to go somewhere and he got a wallet JT I'm like what

you got a wallet for? So then I got to do background

checks because he like Uncle Willie gave me some money.

I'm like how much money Uncle Willie gave you $150.00 Uncle

Willie gave you $150.00. Where you get all that money

from, right, We all got it and and and as we raise our

children, that's what we're driving out.

We're reshaping our kids. Our kids are born and we all

been born nasty, but it's and this is the importance of the

blood of Jesus. It's because he cleanses us and

we're born again, right. And so we all got something

nasty about us on us and some somebody is being infected by

us. It's just like the help my

unbelief. There's some areas you have

cleaned up. You know the people, anybody in

here like take good showers, right?

There's people that take good showers.

Then these people that's just like, I'm just going to hit that

spot and we out. What do you call that nasty?

All of it needs to be clean. You don't just wash the parts

people, you know what I'm saying?

It's all behind the ears. All of that, all of that.

Get back in the shower, right? Hallelujah.

You get what I'm saying? The Lord is speaking already.

Why ain't somebody say we all here, we all here, we all here,

we all here, we all, we all got something about us, we all got

something about us. Look, some prisons you can see

and you can hear and smell with bare eyes bars, you know, bad

decisions, disease, sickness, cycles of conflict, etcetera.

But some prisons are quiet, invincible.

Anxiety, bitterness, shame, secret addictions, you can go on

and on. This is stuff that people don't

know about you. Why?

Why you, you know, the, the, the porn, the, the stuff you think

you hide in everybody from me all the way back to to everybody

has something that they need to get free from.

There's not one pastor in this world.

There's not a Pope. There's not everybody has

something God is coming for. But look around.

We're all here, the broken, the bruised, the barely making it.

And Grace says that's exactly who I came for.

This is the gospel of the Kingdom, and grace gathered us

all here today. Somebody say Grace gathered us

here. Different cultures, different

chains, different backgrounds, different baggage, but we all

have the same need for mercy. Praise, watch this.

We've been taught to hide our chains, to look holy or to look

saved. But Paul and Silas shows us that

praise doesn't need perfection, it needs participation.

This this is more than a miracle story.

It's a model for the church. When the people of God prays

under pressure, conquer in confusion, dance while in delay,

carry the vision, carry the oil over criticizing and worship

over worry. Heaven doesn't just free

individuals, it redeems entire families and cities.

Proverbs 429 bless you 2 says this.

When the uncompromisingly righteous, the uncompromisingly

righteous, the uncompromisingly righteous are in authority,

walking in their freedom, the people rejoice.

But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and they sigh.

Watch this. The blessing that rests on the

righteous releases strength and favor to the entire city.

The blessing that's on you, Danny, releases a favor to the

entire city. Do you know how blessed this

city is 'cause you here, that's how.

You got to start thinking, though.

I don't care what's going on in Shoppers, the moment I walk in

Shoppers, something changed. Shoppers is blessed.

I don't care what's going on at the soccer game.

I don't care what's going on at the basketball game.

Wherever we go, there's a favor that rests on us, that whenever

God wants to ship someone's life, if you're there, he could

do it. The blessing, it says the

blessing of favor resting upon the righteous influences of city

to lift it higher. We are here to lift the city's

value, not the wealthy from across the world.

This city has no value if you take the church out of it.

It what it's not up for the city to know.

We bring value. It's for the church to know the

kind of value we bring. So we need to start being

valuable and then we'll be essential.

We're not valuable because we gather.

You come here to get value so you can go be valuable, says

Paul. And Silas are not just two

preachers in trouble. They are instruments of a new

move of God. They are instruments of a new

move of God. The Richmond Love Quest.

We not just preachers, we not just a church, we are

instruments of a new move of God.

We are not the only move of God. We are a move of God.

The Gospel has just crossed into Europe at this time at Philippi,

a Roman colony, a city in ancient Macedonia, modern day

Greece, a proud military style city where Roman law ruled.

Watch this. And Jewish faith was foreign.

Paul is on his second missionary journey, LED there by a vision

of a Macedonian man pleading. Remember that jailer.

OK, come help us. Paul is resilient.

Paul is urgent. Paul is persistent.

And Paul is the epitome of a man on a mission.

He was in a he was on a mission to kill us.

Now he's on the mission to save those who kill us.

Now he went from killing us to teaching us about love.

You better be careful because the darkest place that you've

experienced might be where your ministry starts.

If anybody going to know about love, it's going to be somebody

who was persecuting love and then love saved him.

Pay attention when you in your pit, your greatest messages come

out of your pit. Your greatest ministry is in

your prison, but it doesn't mean you stay there and be a victim.

Paul says it is here that the gospel first enters Europe

moment of significant historical reformation and spiritual

transformation. Watch this.

The West is about to meet the word and encounter a move of the

Spirit. Somebody say West side see see

it. It's not just about they didn't

hear about the gospel, but the apostle has a special way of

delivering Jesus. It's a it's a new it's, it's a

way that it has been brought. It's different.

It's strange. Watch this.

It's like how we reacted to the, the, the, the, the, the, the

Tesla. Almost everybody that got one

was somebody who said they would never drive one.

It's strange. You should hear my Mama when she

get in a Tesla. Oh these the devil cars, these

the devil cars. While she getting a ride from

the devil car. Hurry up and Get Me Out the

devil car. I'm like the devil got you here

safe ma, the devil got you here safe right.

Whenever God is doing a new thing, expect for people to not

understand it. Right.

Somebody, somebody just look at their neighbor and say

something's telling me you're really different.

You're really different. You're really different.

Look at look at your neighbor again and say sorry if I'm

talking to you too much, but you talking to me too much too.

So I'll stop talking to you when you stop talking to me.

Watch this, the words about to move.

God's about to move. And so we see in Acts 16, we see

this move of God, and it's just happening everywhere.

He's going. Lydia gets converted, a wealthy

woman, she opens her home, she opens her heart, she gets

converted. We see the damsel, the slave

girl who was profiting these men, and Paul freed her in the

name of Jesus. She gets delivered and then we

see the battleworn jailer and his entire household.

But first that does not happen until the backlash of injustice

inflicted upon Paul and Silas as they were beaten and jailed

because they got a young girl free.

Watch this proving that obedience doesn't exempt you

from opposition. Avoiding obedience is going to

get you into some opposition, and obeying going to get you

into some opposition. But Jesus is going to help you

with the opposition that's due to obedience.

So let me give you some advice today.

You going to get opposition either way.

Choose to obey. He'll help you out.

Every class of society is represented in Acts 16 because

grace never stops at one group. Grace covers all nations.

Grace covers all nations. Now we find Paul and Silas,

after being brutally beaten unjustly in this inner prison,

feet shackled, and they are pushed to prostration.

They are pushed on their face. This is not a place.

It's the bottom of the prison. They cannot stand.

You ever feel so stressed out, so heavy, so going through it

that you don't feel like getting out of bed, you don't feel like

standing up? Or am I the only person?

You don't? It's hard to get out of bed.

It's hard to keep going. I want to give you a different

angle. It's in those moments where your

prayers might be the most potent.

Let the weight. Push you to your face.

Get off your back, turn on your face and start crying out to God

and see what happens. Their change became instruments,

their sail became a sanctuary. Their relationship becomes

crucial as they need harmonies to abolish the mental havoc.

They need to be on one accord to derail discord, and as they are

both under attack, they need love in order to help each other

fight back and stand against the true enemy of the Kingdom.

Progress. That is offense and unbelief.

And while society sees two men in chains, the Kingdom of Heaven

sees a church being born and a remnant rising up.

Somebody say revival has landed. This is not a mere story about a

prison with some praise in it. This is about a sound of faith

that ushered in the hand of divine Kingdom orchestration.

Because as Paul later wrote to this same church member, he's in

Philippi. Later he writes a letter to them

and I am convinced and sure of this very thing that he who

began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus

Christ, right up to the time of his return, developing that good

work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Somebody tell yourself he's at work in my life.

Come on. He's at work in my prisons.

He's at work. You guys.

He's at work. He's at work.

There's some. Watch this.

The reason you going through hell is because the devil's

aware of something God started. But I promise you, if you keep

going, God what he started, He going what?

Finish God transforms pain into purpose, and what begins in

prison becomes a promise fulfilled in His people.

God transforms pain into purpose, He transformed pain

into purpose. He transforms pain into purpose

and what begins in prison or a prison becomes a promise

fulfilled in His people. Another way of saying it is God

turns confinement into construction.

He builds destiny out of difficulty and what starts in

chains ends in change. I was telling somebody in the

back, I love good preaching. I grew up around good preaching.

Ain't nothing like the preached word.

When somebody excited about the gospel, it gets me so excited.

Like that's one of the that's one of the best forms of

communication in the world. It's somebody that is convicted

by the gospel and what God does in our messy lives and gets on

our tongue and use our gift and uses our passion.

And you can be blind and then passionate.

You can be murderer now writing letters to the church.

You can go from killing the Christians to equipping the

Christians the gospel, and I pray that you get excited about

the gospel that's meant to go straight to your soul.

Watch, let me help somebody. This ain't college.

You don't listen the same. Is this not the classroom?

It's the throne room. Let's let's let's.

Look at what it what it sounds like and what it looks like, and

what happens when faith sings in the dark.

Let's bring some context. But about midnight, as Paul and

Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the

other prisoners were listening to them, somebody say midnight

one more time, say midnight, it says the other prisoners,

prisoners was listening to their praise.

Watch this the biggest blessing that happened in the prison that

day to the prisoners that was there for God knows what was

that some believers got locked up.

Whoa, you don't understand. One of the greatest blessings

that your family has received is you going through this trial.

I, I guarantee you those that's going through something you've

been praying for your family, you, you, you look, if you're in

something right now, I don't care if it's emotionally,

spiritually, physically, mentally, whatever you've been

praying about your family, just know you did the singing.

Now you're in the shaking and on the other side, you about to see

release, your mom about to come out, your daddy about to come

out, your brother about to come out, your husband about to come.

Yeah, this trial is the greatest thing that could have happened

to your bloodline because watch this.

They watching you. What's equivalent to the

prisoners hearing them singing what every Sunday they see you

leaving church, knowing your situation, you going to church.

They they catch you in your Bible sometimes.

I told this morning's experience.

I said no wonder my grandma and my Mama used to sing JT.

You probably have seen this in in family or some of y'all

probably seen this where you know your grandma, your grandma

raising her children's children. Your grandma is being the daddy

to her daughter. Who who who the baby daddy gone.

I'm talking about generational stuff that's inherited and you

wonder how certain cultures and certain generations, you wonder

how somebody get from one continent all the way to here.

And I was like, oh, see, what make this country as religious

as it is, is the migrations of other people that brought their

faith with them. So you got to understand the

power and faith that is in this this country because you got

people who have overcame some hideous, some some crazy

situations. And so you understand where

hymns came from. If I didn't sing and get in, the

only thing that saved a slave was they hymns and they unity.

We ain't going to make it out of here together.

You over there trying to do your independent thing, unity and

singing. They can read the Bible.

So then they're in prison and they're using a weapon.

The prisoners were listening. Watch this.

The prisoners had no relationship to praise.

The prisoners had no relationship to pray and have

the faith that someone was listening.

So what they heard when these men came in?

Y'all in the dungeon? Watch this.

What'd y'all do so bad to get down there?

Watch this. They underneath the prison.

So you got prisoners? That's when Laura's saying

something about the Navy. I'm not telling you to shush

Judah. I'm I'm telling the prisoners to

shush. Y'all hear that?

Y'all hear that? I could just imagine the

prisoners weeping right now. No, no, watch this, it says

suddenly, because I just think my father was like, I got to

move now because I got the attention.

I, I, I've been around some worship music even when I didn't

know what what was going on. And if I'm a prisoner and I hear

worship and I experience this peace that overcomes me, I'm

having an encounter. God is touching me and I don't

even know him. So the fact that I don't know

him and I'm feeling this, I know something has happened because I

didn't feel it until they worshipped.

Watch this and I'm able to relate because I hear they

change too. They didn't come in here all

sanctified and Sediti and Christian.

You got my attention because I see your chains.

I I hear relationship in your hymn.

I hear pain in your I hear spirit and truth in your pain

and the Bible say suddenly there was a great earthquake so that

the very foundations of the prison were shaken.

The somebody say foundations and at once all the doors.

This is just this is 12 O1 to me.

Y'all, I don't know what y'all believing for this 12 O1, all

the doors. Listen, I've lived in manna.

What is manna? Just enough.

I've I've done that long enough. And whoever's watching, call it

prosperity. Call what you want to call.

No, I call it faith. I call it believe in what God

said. Actually, I've, I've done man,

I've done day-to-day. I've done just enough.

I've done barely get by. I've done month to month.

I've done just being able to take care of my household.

And that's not the promise. OK, so I got a right to believe.

So so so I cried when all the doors closed.

Complain when all the doors close.

So you best believe I'm going to shout when all the doors open.

See some of y'all that don't know what it feels like to be

abandoned and neglected and hurt and and and and and and

mistreated. Don't you take all those blows

and then when God opens the door for your new life, you don't say

nothing. All the doors, somebody shout

out, all the doors were open. Watch this.

Not only all the doors were open, everyone shackles.

What I actually really want to just keep reading really fast

and get to some other juicy stuff that I have.

But you got to get this. All the doors open.

That's where you shout because that's all about you.

Like, oh, breakthrough for me. No, no, no, no, no, you ain't

really, really until all the shackles come off.

But no, I'm, I'm talking about my wife shackles, my son

shackles, my daughter's shackles, Danny's shackles.

I'm warned for yo shackles. I'm warned for yo shackles.

I'm warned for yo shackles, yo shackles.

I'm I'm here Sunday after Sunday.

I'm here Wednesday after Wednesday because I'm look,

look, I'm free and the area is I'm not free.

I'm free by faith. I'm contended for yo shackles.

God didn't bring me to Canada for my family, yo shackles.

So I don't just want the doors to open.

But you still can't run because you shackled up.

So all the doors, all the shackles, and you can put all

that on it. All the doors, all the shackles.

Come on, somebody. All the doors, all the shackles.

Come on. Remember, I I ain't gonna, I

ain't gonna have no need for these today.

I ain't gonna have no need. I'm taking all.

I'm taking all that, all the shackles, all the shackles.

I'm taking all the shackles off. I'm taking all the shackles.

I'm getting the shackles out of my heart.

I'm getting the shackles off my wrist.

I'm getting the shackles off my mind.

I'm getting the shackles. I'm taking the shackles,

Shackles, shackles. Get the shackles.

I can, I can run now. The shackles, the shackles.

You see, that's how some people do their shackles.

They like, I'm not ready to really be free.

So I'm gonna just put them right there, bring them back over here

to bring them. Back over here, can you just?

Untie those. So I'm gonna put them back on.

I don't want to. That wasn't a moment.

The Lord was like, this is holy ground.

Take your shoes off. No, I was just hope you got it.

Come on. The shackles.

I mean, see. Stop just believing for open

doors. See, because some of y'all

walking in open doors with what? Clank, clank.

No, no, no. I'm trying to go in this season.

It's been a word spoken of in my life.

This time around I will walk into rooms and sit at tables

with no shackles on that. That just simply means that I've

matured. I just got a word a few weeks

ago that they told me you what? You were sitting at some tables

before, but you wasn't ready for the tables and it showed, but it

says, but you're ready now. Watch this.

You're not pulling up to the same table.

The table has enlarged. Watch this.

So has your capacity and your influence and your wisdom, but

God will allow you to sit at tables.

Remember shooting to my woman? You gave me this baby and now

it's dead. You open this door, but then it

closed so quick. I promise you it wasn't about

the door closed. It was about God showing you if

you could trust Him with the promise at the altar.

Because God never wants to bless you, and what He blessed you

with takes His. Place.

Shackles was off when the jailer startled out of his sleep.

Remember this, He saw the prison doors were open.

This is our opening Scripture goes on to verse 28.

We are all here. Remember this.

I just need five people to remember this.

The rest of y'all is OK. Talk to the five people.

We are all here. Watch this verse 30 And he

brought them out of the dungeon and said, men, what?

What is necessary? What is necessary, what is

necessary? In other words, what is

necessary to get what you got? And they answered believe,

remember this. And he said you and your

household somebody say, but at midnight.

Come on, somebody say. But at midnight, watch this,

watch this. Let's break midnight down for

you. Midnight.

Is transition. I love this and transition

midnight represents the overlap of two days. 12 O1 puts me on

the side of the the sun coming up, so watch this at 12 O1.

JTI should have more hope than I had at 11:59.

Come on. I don't.

You might be at 11:59, but I promise you the hand is moving

and you will see twelve O 1. So midnight is transition and

the overlap of two days the breaking point between the old

and the new. Watch it.

Their worship was not situational, it was

revelational. I hear you Natalia.

It wasn't situational. They were not praising watch

this at the level of their prison.

They weren't praising at the level of their circumstance.

They weren't praising based on what was in front of them.

They were praising from the the seat of victory.

They were praising from more than a conqueror.

They weren't trying to conquer. They were praising from the

revelation that I'm more than a conqueror.

It was like the like, like the fiery furnace.

Even if he don't come get me. And anyone can praise in

daylight when it's all good. It takes faith to praise in the

dark. Not complain in the dark, Praise

in the dark. Watch this.

Complaining only makes it darker.

Complaining only brings more confusion.

Sure. I hear you, Judy.

You ready to go? I hear you.

Got your hair, your bangs Ready, boy?

You ready to fly? You ready to fly?

Come on. Somebody.

We we watch this. We going to have a chance to

dance now. I'm not going.

I'm not going. I'm not going.

I'm not. I'm not going.

I'm not. I don't know when that's going

to be, but we going to know when it is and when it hits you and

he might hit somebody before the whole before he hit the crowd.

I'm here to tell you whatever hits you is because of

something. It's a baby in you and and and

and it's been dormant and got about got about to hit that

dormant place. And the moment you feel that

leap, you got to prophetically leap with it.

Oh, it's a run in you today, JT. You ain't got to run just

because I said so. But I see it in your spirit,

boy, I know, I know people that's believing for stuff

because they on their hills. Like when you believe in for

something, you're not just listening because you already

know God's up to something. There's just something that's

just like God. You're doing it right.

You, you do. I'm already leaning into it.

They didn't wait for daylight. They created the daylights.

They created the daylight. This was the meeting place of

the end and the beginning. It's kind of like midnight says

it's over. Let's get it started.

There's this tension. There's this time where where

this is a shifting time. If you ever worked in a, in a,

in a job or a career where you come earlier so you guys can

communicate as you overlap shifts, there's a shift

happening. Watch this at the darkest hour.

There's a shift happening. I know maybe not too many people

in here is going through anything and that's fine.

I'm trying to get where you at. But for me, there's a lot of

stuff I'm believing for and it ain't just monetary stuff.

The monetary is the smallest stuff, but I'm believing for

bloodline stuff. I'm believing for the devil to

take his hands off of my family. I, I got some stuff I'm

believing for and I know you believing for it.

But but, but this, this is the confidence I have.

It ain't 11:45. It ain't 1150.

It ain't 1155, it ain't 11. The confidence I have is it's

twelve O 1. Come on.

Anybody got 12? O1 Faith.

This was the meeting place of the end in the beginning and the

wait has been so long because everything's changing, right?

The reason it's been harder this time around is because all the

doors right? The reason one door opened

before is because God was just giving you a little little hope

at the time. You know how God will just give

you a little blessing and you don't ever mistake the manner

for the for the for the promised land.

But God loves his children. So he going to send you an

encouraging word. You can somebody going to bless

you with a little something. But I'm here to tell you this is

not out of arrogance or being ungrateful.

I'm a very grateful man, but I'm here to tell you whatever that

was that God did, it wasn't it. It was something and it was a

blessing, but it wasn't it. God was just trying to keep you

alive with that one. Now God's about to do something

in your life where you going to be a a distributor of life.

A distributor of life. Come on.

My barely making it days is over.

My my barely making it days is over.

My barely making it days is over.

My barely making it days is over.

My my barely making it days is over.

My just getting by. Days is over.

Look, look, look, Josh, your bare Josh.

You're barely making it. Days is over.

Come on, speak that over yourself.

My barely making it. Days is over.

It's not just over for me. It's over for my bloodline.

Watch this. Faith doesn't wait until it's

over to start the celebration, right?

You see, watch this. You think that the weight and

the push has been for those that are living.

There's a family unborn and there's generations unborn.

What God has on his mind about this next shift is going to last

into people lives that ain't even here yet.

I'm, I'm talking about, yeah, your children, your

grandchildren, your great grandchildren, but I'm talking

about your, your, your, your nieces, your nephews, your great

nieces and nephews. I'm talking about future

coworkers that ain't even at your job yet.

See, what you believe in for is beyond what you can see.

You need a scripture. Ephesians 320 It's exceeding

abundantly above all that we can ask, think, or imagine according

to the power that is at work in us.

It is working for your good, but not just your good, but for some

people you ain't even met. Good eyes have not seen, ears

have not heard. Neither has it entered into the

heart of man what God has in store for those who love Him.

Yeah, some of y'all, Some of y'all is like, I can't receive

that right now. I'm terrible.

No, no, no, no, no. You got to receive this word

because this word is what's about to pull you out of prison.

This word is about to pull you out of prison.

Earthquake seismis, a violent, shaking God, disrupted the

system to deliver his servants, and everyone's chains fell, even

those who hadn't prayed. You got to understand the depths

of this prophetic word. The blessing is not just for

those who gather on worship nights.

The worship nights is for us to gather.

So wherever we go, folks is going to get blessed because we

gather. Folks going to get blessed

because you anointed. Folks going to get blessed

because you're obedient. Folks going to get blessed

because when God told you to tell them he's doing something

or God is thinking about you, change are going to break

because you have decided to obey God.

Everyone change fell, even those who hadn't prayed.

Watch this. We was talking about this in the

back. Do you notice not only Paul and

Silas stayed, the prisoner stayed, which means just through

their praise and worship, Paul and Silas got they trust to

stick around. I need you to text somebody and

say I think it's to your best interest to stick around me.

Hey, you might want to stick around.

Their, their, their praise shook foundations plural, foundations

plural foundations plural foundations plural.

Watch this. Every chain fell off, even for

those who had not prayed right. But God doesn't deal with

symptoms. He shakes systems.

OK. OK, OK.

Tell Vicky, take your phone. Tell Vicky, take your phone.

Watch this, Watch this. So it's been hard for you

because God, you're used to God dealing with a problem fruit.

It's been hard for you because God has been uprooting your

entire systems because you can't break cycles until you destroy

systems. So, so I hear the voice of the

Lord saying, sorry, it's been taken a while, but the work that

I'm doing in you, we will never be back here again.

Watch, watch the systems that I'm building within you in this

season. When the devil comes again, it

will not be able to recognize it.

It it won't be able to recognize.

The devil will come knocking 7 times stronger and it the door

won't open. Like who is that?

We don't recognize him no more because God has uprooted every

seed that the enemy, every window that the enemy left

cracked, God is closing. Every window that the enemy left

cracked, God is shutting. Hallelujah.

When worship. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can praise him there. When worship is real, it doesn't

just open doors, it breaks up unneeded structures and discards

old wine skin. Somebody say new wine is

pouring. Oh, Jesus.

Here's here's how it goes. Singing, shaking, shifting.

We're singing house. So you got to expect what?

Shaking. But you can't expect shaking

without also expecting shifting. This is a song saying this is

how I fight my battles. See, I I told somebody, Danny,

it's almost a shock to people when they get hit by the enemy,

but they forgot they've been singing for a few years.

OK, OK. They forgot that they don't want

watch this. Laura, you forgot.

You don't want started the fight with the devil.

Why are you mad He showed up the moment you decided to put a

praise on your mouth. You started the fight the moment

you made the decision to come to Jesus.

Watch this. The devil wasn't messing with

you at the club. The psycho had you in the club.

Ignorance had you in the club. The devil kept you from knowing

he didn't make you drink. But any crazy you thought

getting saved was getting you out of funk.

You. I forgot where I'm at.

You don't know that word. Getting you out of fights get

you out of troubles. But the moment you said Jesus,

you are Lord, Hell woke up. Hell lost another one.

That's what they heard. Ah, we lost another one.

I thought I had Sion. I lost another one.

I thought I had Aiden. I lost another one.

Come on, you got to get in. Praise brought pressure and

pressure burst power. Praise brought pressure and

pressure. Birth power.

Their praise did not just set them free, it freed everybody

close enough to hear. They praise.

What's this? You, you got to tell your Mama.

Mama, you don't got a choice but to get set free because you

messed up by hanging out with me, right?

Right. You, you, you.

This is why you get with some old raggedy man or some old

raggedy girl. If you stay the course, you can

look at them and say you didn't messed up.

The devil didn't want you to get with me because he knew I got

boundaries. He knew you weren't getting none

of this. I'm going to say that again.

He knew you weren't getting none of this.

You wasn't getting the lips. You wasn't getting none of this

because all of this is holy. And until you put a holy ring on

it, you ain't getting the holy thing.

You ain't getting nothing. The only thing you're going to

get from this holy thing is a conversation.

It's those boundaries. Watch this.

This is the prison. This is the battleground.

How will you respond when your flesh is under pressure?

Personal faith caused corporate breakthrough.

Grace was too big to stay in their cell.

Grace was too big to pray and stay in their cell.

Praise from your prison might just be the key to someone else

breaking from their bondage. Praise from your prison might be

just somebody's key to for someone to get broken from their

bondage. Watch this.

Praise from your prison might be the key to go down the hall to

somebody else's cell and break them free.

Come on, say I'm sending a praise to yourself.

Watch this. Paul says this.

Paul says this. Do thyself no harm, for we are

all here y'all. Remember that.

Somebody remind yourself we all here.

Watch this. They could have ran, but they

stayed. Freedom isn't just escaping

chains, it's embracing responsibility, freedom.

Isn't just escaping chains freedom.

Watch this. We in covenant together,

Natalia. We in covenant together, Adam,

we both free, but we call to wrestle.

Not just praise, not just have coffee.

The true test of our covenant is when all shucks, how do we get

here now we wrestling. I shared before there's culture.

I was talking to somebody after church, they go, they go to a

predominantly African church and I'm like, it might be a cultural

thing where folks stick around for generations, but those

generations stick around because we suffer.

We from the same place, which means I trust fighting with you.

The reason I run from fighting with you is because I really

don't know you. I trusted you based on Jesus or

this being a church. So I assume you was just a good

person. I didn't know we was all here.

So then you find culturally, predominantly where we look the

same. We stick around for generations.

And you better not leave or you going to hell if you leave from

from our church. Let me be clear, not love quest,

OK? OK, Just be clear.

Get that on your cameras, OK? Are you not going to hell if you

leave love quest? OK, OK, I'm not saying that.

I'm talking about I grew up in the all black church.

That conversation is different when it's time to go.

If you've been raised in the African church, that

conversation is different because they're believing in

this generational thing. But the reason watch this, the

reason why we can be so good dysfunctionally together, we can

stay in our dysfunction so long is because I actually trust you

because we came from the same place.

What the point of a love quest is, is God is doing a new thing

because true revival is going to be when we come from all these

different places and stay in the middle of the ring, right?

Yeah, I don't know you, but I trust God.

I I don't know you. You mistreated me, but God loved

me first. Watch Jesus says love your

enemies. How we going to do that?

So sometimes God will take you away from your familiar place

because He's calling you to a higher place in Him.

I know people that look like you are safer, but it's not always

best for your next dimension. I didn't say your next growth,

your next dimension, familiarity, hills,

transformation. Oh, Jesus.

No one was judging. We was all here because Grace is

doing what law never could. It brings everybody together in

freedom, he says. I'm ready to die.

I broke that down. Suicide was a better option than

being punished in public because.

The prisoners escaped so the guard or the jailer would

receive the same penalty as those that escaped, so he and

and and Paul and Silas was facing capital punishment.

Freedom is not running away, it's staying when others need.

What freed you? Paul could have escaped but

stayed. Proof that true freedom isn't

running away. It's staying present in purpose

through difficult times. Paul could have escaped.

But grace makes you stay where love still has work to do.

Yeah, you hear me? JT?

Watch this. Paul could have escaped because

he didn't. He he was in prison unjustly.

But grace makes you stay where love still has work to do.

Whoa. Watch this.

Grace doesn't just free you from sin.

It teaches you how to stay for other souls.

Grace doesn't abandoned people, it abides with them.

We are all here because love chooses to blossom where it

could abailed. Watch this.

We all here not perfect, but present somebody say here.

We're all here not flawless, but found somebody say found.

Grace says I'm not free until my brothers are free.

I'm not free until my brothers are free because we walking

together bro, you got chains on and we on a mission together.

You're going to slow me down. Watch what God says to Peter.

He says look, say I'm giving you over to Satan.

He going to see if you like we and I pray your faith don't

fail. Watch this.

But when you come out of it, come back and strengthen your

brothers. He didn't say when you come out

of it, go find some new brothers.

He said when you pass your test, come right on back.

What? Watch this, watch this.

I just come against, I just got to say this.

I come against the wandering Christian right now in BC.

Watch this I come against, I come against the not rooted

independent spirit in BC. I come against the church

hopping in Christian in BC. I'm I'm not saying that love

quest is your church. What I'm saying wherever your

church is, go and fight. Go and fight for your brothers.

Yeah. What must I do to be saved?

Paul says believe. Shout out, believe, shout out.

Believe Jesus Christ, and you will be saved in you and your

household. Say, say, God got somebody else

in us on his mind. Here we go.

And we're going to land this plane.

God's goal was not just a man's salvation, but a family's

transformation. God's goal was not your

salvation alone. It was about your family's

transformation. He saved you to transform your

bloodline. The same grace that freed the

prisoners broke the generational curse in the house.

Bring it down. The same grace that freed you

breaks the generational curse in your house.

Watch this. What you ready for?

This Everybody in the house don't got to be broken from the

curse. Somebody in the church in the

house chooses to break it for the house.

So watch this. The devil might tell your

brother Sion he's living in a curse, but I know you broke the

curse on your family. So, so, so if you ever hear that

somebody say your family is cursed, say don't worry about

it, I broke it. Don't worry about it.

I broke it. What's this?

What you going through, bro? Bro, what you going through,

sis? Sis ain't a curse, we just

getting a few chains off of you. But the family curse

broken is broken. The spirit of abortion broken.

Poverty broken. Depression broken.

Addiction broken. It's broken.

You got to believe that for your family.

You got to believe that for your friends.

You got to believe that for your God.

It only took Jesus to save the whole world.

God was looking for one person in your bloodline.

One person in your bloodline. That's why the battle has been

so tough. Watch this.

You like, man? My Mama then went through that.

My daddy then went through that. My grandma then went through

that. But they didn't break it.

You can't compare yourself to them.

Your call is different. There's some chain Breakers in

here. Danny.

Danny. Danny.

Danny. You don't praise how you praise.

And I watch this. The devil want to tell you you

were female. So how can I break like my

brothers? Why they not the chain?

My daddy's anointed. Your daddy was anointed for

something. You anointed to break it.

Laura. You anointed to break it.

Aiden. You anointed to break it,

Nicole, you anoint point to somebody and say you anointed to

break it. I I know, I know, I know

fatherlessness is broken out of my bloodline.

I know divorce is broken out of my bloodline.

Some of y'all walked in here today, man.

I, man, some of y'all walked in here today.

And you ready to give up? I, I, I you've been pulling,

you've been trying to pull power from somewhere.

There's no power. God told me to tell somebody in

here today. Do not give up.

You've been fighting different. You've been fighting.

Watch this. You've been fighting trying not

to be what your Mama was. That's the wrong fight.

No, I'm fighting to break what my Mama should have broke.

Come on. I'm this for somebody.

You are a generational chain breaker.

There's an anointing on this generation.

There's an enough is enough anointing.

Enough is enough. Come on, go on, go on hand and

exhort. Go on, head, and lift your

voice. There's too much force behind

this momentum. It's going to take all the hell

I did not. It ain't nothing to stop this

momentum. David got 55 stones.

He only needed one. But I feel in this room, guys,

we got to live in this. More often.

What is this? Man, we come to church just to

get a little word and get a little man.

Everybody, we all here. And if we all come together on

every time we gather Wednesday, Sunday and come in here and look

around and be like, man, we all here, Norbert, we all here,

yeah, I'm preaching and I'm a pastor here, but man, I'm we all

here. We we all got these chains.

I'm not here to just break your sail.

I got a sail that needs to come become broken.

I got family members behind bars spiritually if we gather

together with. That unstoppable.

Paul needed those prisoners as much as those prisoners needed

Paul. Watch this.

God didn't really call the Richmonds here as a gift to

y'all as much as God. Called the Richmonds here

because he has something y'all have something that our

bloodline need. Y'all have something that our

bloodline needs? You bring those lights down or

purple or something just one last time.

Just lift your hands and receive that for your.

Family, I'm I'm here to tell somebody.

Get over it that you're female. Get over it.

That you're not educated. Get over it.

It's you, you, you. There's something on your life

that's going to break it forever and it's going to come.

Not you trying to run from I don't want to be like my daddy

was. No, I I need to be who God's

called me to be, and that's going to assure I ain't like my

daddy was. So today, make a decision to

stop cancelling yourself out. Oh, I'm female.

That's exactly why he came for you.

I ain't got no money. That's exactly why he chose you,

because the excuses you giving yourself is the same excuses

others are going to use and he going to say so Danny so Lily

so. Every person in this world, in

this room believe that God can do the impossible and He can

break statistics through you. He can break new ground through

you. He can turn that marriage around

through you. He can.

He can break mental illness in your bloodline forever through

you. Come on, He can break sexual

addiction through you. He he can get that that that

cancer cell out of you. He can make it none.

He can make it not work like God can do whatever he wants and

break it so your bloodline never have to help have that testimony

no more. I just want to say hello to a

room full of first generation blank.

Whatever, whatever it is you about to be.

The first pastor, first event, the first billionaire, the first

millionaire. The first one married.

The first one stayed married. The first one who didn't get

cancer, the first one who broke mental.

Whatever it is. Hello first generation.

Hello first generation Lord. We thank you for this time.

Thank you for your love. We thank you for your mercy.

Yeah, Elder John, Elders, Pastor Dylan, soon, as soon as we, as

soon as soon as we say Amen. Whatever.

I think there's some people here that that need and desire some

prayer. I'm going to say this to you.

They're going to come up front for a little while.

Do not come up front for prayer if you're not going to meet them

with your belief. This is not to come up here for

a counseling session. The only reason you're coming up

here is because you believe God wants to break something off of

you today. And I know these men and women

that are going to be up here. There's power in this room right

now. There's no announcements.

There's no asking you to give man.

Look, God has poured out today every person that's a giver.

I know you will give today just out of faith and Thanksgiving

that God has done something and He's done something

supernatural. So I am going to sow something

natural because God is faithful. You're not paying for a miracle,

you're not paying for breakthrough, but you are sowing

a seed of faith into what God has done within you.

And I promise to you, as you give to Him, He will cause men

to giving you your bosom. Good measure.

Pressed down, shaken together and run it.

Over if you. Believe that, say I believe that

and I receive that in Jesus name.

If you want to know what's going on at Love Quest, you, you look,

you can go to our our guest services table home, come in and

you can figure out what's going on.

We have a men's ministry thing happening very soon.

If you're interested in gathering with our men one last

time before the year's over, go check it out.

OK, we're about to release you. If you desire prayer and you

believe God He can, He will, and he has, then a team will be up

here along this altar will take out this first row and you guys

can pray. But here, watch this.

I am going to lead us into that with the worship team.

So we're done. If you want to stay in here and

have some time with the Lord, we're asking that you take your

fellowship into the tent. But I know God's doing something

in this room. If you want to chill in here,

that's totally fine. We're done.

We'll be here tonight for all the leaders, those that are

interested in being a leader at Love Quest.

We have a powerful time tonight and every Sunday evening at 6:00

PM. So to see you here tonight, if

not, I'll see you on Wednesday. If not, I'll see you next

Sunday. But I hope you are you.

Don't take what God has done tonight, today and just go out

there and be regular. So I'll see you tonight if

you're a leader. I'll see you Wednesday if you're

hungry and thirsty. For those that.

Desire prayer first, allow our team to come up front.

Can I get a couple gentlemen to take these these?

OK, cool. We don't even need to sing

nothing right now. We just let them play as they

get set. I will let you know when it's

time to come up. But if you stick around, I'm

asking you to just be an intercessor and and believe with

these families because remember, no one's coming up here for

themselves alone when somebody receives.

Breakthrough today. God has the intention to free

their whole family. And I'm believing with you.

Yeah, He'll just make sure you have some oil.

Those that surround. If you could pray in your

heavenly prayer language. Come on.

I believe the Lord wants to even mend those broken pieces faster

than you thought he could. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Let it break right now, Lord

God. Lord God, come on, my

intercessors, all the intercessors, he just began to

intercede right now in the name of Jesus.

Let it break now, right now, Lord God, let it break right.
