Like a Virgin: I Refuse to Run Out - Dynasty Wednesday 11.5.25 (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.

Yes, Jesus, Jesus. Jesus.

Jesus. Jesus.

Jesus. Jesus.

Jesus. Jesus, the victorious name,

Jesus. Have that name done anything for

for a few people in here? Come on, shout out the name

Jesus. OK, I like that.

I like that. Father, we just thank you for

your word tonight. Lord, we need a word.

No matter what's going on around us, we need your word.

No matter what distractions, no matter how dark the times are,

we need Your Word. Lord, 1000% of us need you to

touch us. Need healing?

Need deliverance? Need.

Need new levels of freedom? Every single person in here, we

need You. We thank you for sending your

word to heal our diseases, whether that is physical, rather

that is spiritual rather that is emotional.

Lord, Your Word is here to touch us tonight.

And so, Lord, we thank you for the Spirit of revelation and

wisdom. Holy Spirit, go, go, go, go

deliver the Word deep into our inner man.

Right now it's all about you, Jesus.

Right now it's all about you, Jesus.

And we just ask that you do whatever you need to do, Holy

Spirit, to move our hearts from Stony ground to good ground.

The word get moved through the weeds in our heart tonight.

And we just thank you that we approach your word tonight not

with familiarity, but like babies, like Lord, teach us

something new. Teach us something we don't

know. Show us a different facet of

you. Reveal another side of you

tonight. Even when we hear scriptures

that we've heard over and over, like just highlight something

fresh tonight, somebody say something fresh in Jesus mighty

name. All right, I think I'm ready for

the word tonight and at midnight it's like the wind is moving and

I kind of feel like this as I'm sitting down and asking the Lord

what to what to minister, Can we can we take that off, please and

ask the Lord or what to take that off, Thank you.

Ask the Lord or what to because then folks stop listening and

they start looking at the beautiful graphics and and the

slides and stuff. And So what what are we talking

about? God, last couple weeks we have

been blessed by help my unbelief.

Has anybody been blessed by help my unbelief?

I know I've been and we can actually keep on going.

We can keep on going. We can keep on going with that.

But I will say that I feel like in a house where the Lord is you

can you can never preach the word or hear the word and not

benefit from it If you know how to hear.

OK, But I also know that there's there's a digging to where there

can be like just an on time, like Lord speak into my

situation today. I don't just want to be

educated, right? I need revelation.

And so I'm asking you, Lord, to speak into my situation.

So although tonight may be a little twist, it has to do with

what we've been talking about. So somebody say help my

unbelief. At midnight the cry rang out.

At midnight the cry rang out. Here's the bridegroom come out

to meet me. Then all the virgins.

Somebody say all the virgins woke.

Up and trim their lamps, the foolish one said to the wise,

Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.

Lord bless us tonight you have to choose in this hour which one

are you? Watch this.

The wind has come to reveal which one you are.

Watch this. You can be a wise one and turn

foolish or you can find out that Avo is the foolish 1 and you can

become what? Right.

So, so, so we're we're in one of these places.

And our prayer tonight is, Lord, help us discern which one we are

so that we can become or remain the one you need us to be.

We know which one He's not calling us to be.

Which one you think He's not calling us to be?

The foolish one? Tonight's message is like a

virgin. I refuse to run out.

Somebody say like a virgin. I know many people haven't heard

about heard about her ever heard of Madonna before?

But that's that's totally fine. But like a virgin, right.

But somebody say I refuse to run out.

Come on, say it one more time. I refuse to run out.

You at home type in the comments.

I refuse to come out. And if you don't mind those that

are here say it one more time. I refuse to run out OK like a

virgin. You can shine without trimming,

but you can't burn without oil. Can I help somebody tonight?

Now, now, now trimming. I'm a I'm a little ahead of

myself, but the. Trimming is have you ever you

got a candle and you see the burnt ends right and and when

you light the burnt ends. You get flickering, you get a

little bit of light, but it doesn't burn smooth until it

gets down to a clean Wick and and you get what I'm saying, you

get so they're. They're trimming is them getting

rid of the old burn. They're getting rid of the old.

Somebody said get rid of the old, right?

So, so if you can go back to many words that have been

spoken. God has been warning us over the

last couple of years that is out with the old, in with the new,

expand your tent pegs, right, New wine, all these things.

He's been God has really been preparing us so that when it's

time to burn, you got a clean burn.

When it's time to burn, you not flickering.

OK, so you can shine without trimming, but you can't burn

without oil. We are in a season where the

wind is blowing. Somebody say Amen.

And if we don't have oil, our flame will go out.

Wind doesn't destroy fire. It exposes who had enough oil to

keep burning. Can I can I talk to this side

right. When does not destroy fire

really when spreads it. But what it does do it it it

exposes who had enough oil to keep burning.

In other words, the the, the, the there.

There's some components that that cause fire to burn.

Wind is one of them. What is another one?

Say it loud. OK, and what else?

Huh. OK.

OK, so I need fuel. Let me see.

Y'all got that? I was about to get ahead of

myself. Let me just follow this slide.

Extra oil sustains us when the winds blow.

Everybody looks anointed in the waiting room.

Can I, can I talk to y'all back there in the in the in the tent

house? In the tent house.

Hey man, extra oil sustains us. When the winds blow, everybody

looks. Anointed in the waiting room.

It's very important. Extra oil.

Why? Why do we need extra oil?

Why can't we just be cool with with oil?

We can't take lightly that he brings this to us, and we're

going to dive into the context shortly, but extra oil is what

sustains us when the winds blow. Everybody looks anointed in the

waiting room. Watch this, I asked the Lord.

There has to be some type of characterization for the the,

the elements before the storm, right?

If you ever watch a storm story, they warn you about the tornado

that's going hit around a certain time, but you can see

the you can. You can't see the wind, but you

can see of the fruit of the wind picking up, right?

The people still going to work. There's the wind's picking up,

but you can still go to the grocery store.

The whole goal is to get in the house before the storm hit, get

rooted, get what you need, get your extra oil, get your candles

right there. But but, but God is warning us.

They do not wait until hey, in 30 minutes the storm's going to

hit. Like sometimes, man, when you

look at Katrina like there's days warning, watch this.

I asked him what he called. He says.

That's what you call atmospheric tension.

It's the sense of building pressure before the storm

breaks. Atmospheric tension, The

heavenlies. There's a tension in the

atmosphere. Things are starting to stir.

I could tell something's about to pop off.

I could. Things are getting weird and

relationships are getting weird and and things are pressing on

my finances. Things are pressing on my

relationships, my mind. I'm getting stressed, whatever

it may be. There's a tension in the air and

I can go all the way back. Love Quest.

It seems like it has always been around a tension.

Right. We, we God, God is training a

church. Watch this.

God is training a church not to just teach about him.

But in the last days you will need churches that know how to

do warfare. And there is no warfare if you

don't understand the signs of the times.

And so if watch this, if we can't war together, we can't war

for our city, yes. That's right.

Every time I'm divided from a soil I was growing in for any

amount of reason, my my knowledge remains the same.

My my experience remains the same.

But the moment I go to another atmosphere, I better pray that

the same activation I pray wherever I go, it is it is

equipped to handle my new growth.

OK, let me How many people went from the 8th grade to the fifth

grade? Atmospheric tension.

The sense of building pressure before the storm breaks.

The devil will always send tension.

Watch this pre wrestles before the storm.

Watch this if God has a a wind that he's blowing.

The devil is always trying to get a head start.

OK if there's false prophets, there must be some real ones.

So let me try to expose you and get you hurt by some prophets.

So when the real one come in your life, you don't trust the

real prophet. So let me bring some storms in

your life before the winds blow. So you've been so busy fighting

the mental storms in your brain and fighting all this

unnecessary stuff that by the time the wind really blows, it

takes you out. You've been fighting in the

wrong storm, right? OK, here's the tactic of the

lion. Bible says first, first, first.

Peter 5/8 the lion he seeks, whom he may devour, right?

Anybody See National Geographic? So I'm the only one.

OK, what is one of their tactics, huh?

They, they stalk, right? But then they, they, they, you

ever see them gang up? They they will send a gang, a

storm, get you running the other way and you run right into the

real hunter. There's chasers and there's

hunters. They not they, they not chase,

they not hunters. Watch this.

They, they, they want to, they don't have the ability for the

kill. They got the ability for the

chase. So what the enemy gets us doing

is pre wind. I'm chasing you.

When the wind comes, you're too tired to go forward where

there's tension. Ask a real boxer where they go.

You don't get the belt without standing in the center of the

ring. It's the corner where a good

fighter trying to get you. If I can get you in that corner,

if I can get you with your back in the corner all night, watch

this atmospheric tension. The devil will always send

tensions or pre. Wrestles before the storm.

Watch this. Here's another way of putting

it. Watch this.

You're going to like this, Danny.

Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Who cares?

Watch this. Watch this.

The pause of purpose. Is a quiet time God allows

before he moves in power. Watch this.

The quiet time God allows now watch this, watch this.

The enemy knows about these moments so I am trying to watch

this. It is in this quiet time the

devil gets noisy. Oh, it's the pause of purpose.

Now we can look on God's side where he tells us to wait, write

the vision down, make it plain. It's going to tarry for a while,

but it will come to pass in it's appointed time.

Watch this. God's not in a rush because

you're under attack. Can I, can I say that for

somebody? Again, please?

God is not in a rush because you're under attack.

So then the great deception can be, well, if God's not relieving

it or, or shall I say, OK, let me, let me, let me say it again,

God is not in a rush because we're under an attack.

So sometimes when we are under enough pressure, long enough, we

will escape to wherever there's least pressure, and we will

watch this mistake. Less pressure for peace.

And then we'll say where there's peace, it must be who.

But we just learned that when Jesus came on the scene, that's

when the devil threw the little boy in kicking bolsons.

Oh, God, God was right there at the Red Sea when there was this,

this, this Red Sea and these Egyptians come in.

Where we going to go? Wow, God just.

And what was they saying? God must want us.

You must want us dead. Moses, Why you even bring us out

here? We should have just watched

this. We should just, we should just

go back. We should go from 8th grade to

5th grade because 9th grade seemed too hard.

Right. What we don't realize is a lot

of times when we run from the pressure that has been growing

us watch this because God knows how, how, how, how scary we.

Are watch it. So there's a grace for pressure

in the beginning, and then God will ease you into feeling it,

only to let you know you've grown to take it.

If, if I don't let you feel this pressure, I know my child has

grown. But you need circumstances so

you can discover you've grown. You can handle this pressure.

You don't have to keep running. You don't.

You can box in the center of the ring.

Try it. You don't have to lean on the

support of the ropes. The pause of purpose is a quiet

time God allows before he moves in power.

It is this quiet time. The devil gets noisy.

Watch it and we get antsy and we start doing stuff and adding

stuff to the table. When we start, it's this mundane

time. It's this.

Do the last thing God told you. It's this.

It seemed like I ain't heard from God in five years.

Do you need to hear from Him or just know He's keeping you?

You want to be kept or you want to be.

You need a word right Pause of purpose.

It seemed like right and it seemed like ain't nothing

popping off. Wait, it even watch the pause of

purpose even seem like God ain't even.

Moving boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy.

In the last days, we pray that the church becomes skillful,

discerning, watch this discerning of spirits, not

people. Right.

I don't need to have discernment to know EJ got problems.

I'm not picking on you, EJ. I know you're not worried about

that. But I don't need every single

person in this room got problems.

If I open your closet, I'm going to find something.

Everybody. Me too.

Everybody. So the reason why we come

together and why why we need to give to the discerning of

spirits is so that we can intercede for one another, so

that we can bombard and attack the spirit behind our

strongholds. Watch this, then the wind blows.

Watch the quiet time happens, then the wind blows or the storm

blows and pop here it is. The oil builds a prep culture,

not a pop culture, right? See, see, see.

Don't get it twisted because we, we, we dress how we dress or we,

we lie like we lie. We dance how we whatever people

want to say. Don't get it twisted.

This ain't pop. This ain't a popularity thing.

We're not seeking nothing, man. We in this garage, we in these

tents. Watch this God has us in this

Manger prepping us. This is why on on Sunday nights

when we're doing our leadership meetings started last week or

two weeks ago, we started with the history so people can know

man we, we there, there's some grit here.

We've we've been doing nothing but trying to find God and we've

been doing nothing but trying to obey God and we and in that you,

you get messy, you get you get tired, you get weary.

You, you make mistakes. You, you, you, we're human,

right? Don't forget, but but look at

watch this. We have to believe God when he

said here it is. You will know them by their

fruit, not they mouth. This is a day where you gotta

look at people fruit and believe it.

So, so This is why we're going over to history, let you know,

man, we've been on this pilgrimage and we just really

searching, searching for the Lord.

And you can see the fruit and you can see the resilience and

you can see the faith and you can see the the fight.

And you can go listen to every prophetic word and you can trace

that. Oh, these people really are

hearing from God. I may have came in on, on on 30

minutes into the movie or 90 minutes into the movie.

Maybe I should rewind it when rewind is offered so I can so I

can catch up and see no matter where I came in in the story,

God is still writing this story Writing depending on where you

come in in the movie can determine, right?

You come in 30 minutes. Like I'm not going to enjoy it

as much. Been a person who got the plot

in the beginning. Hallelujah.

Then the wind blows and pop the oil builds in.

In a prep culture, not a pop culture.

We are oak trees. Why do you need to be an oak

tree? What is an oak tree known for?

Right, you just. You know them dancers that can

move and I don't know if they ankles, they, they like move.

They can go back so far, like I got to do this, but they'll sit,

they won't bend their knees and they'll go this way.

No, no, no, we going. But once the storm is over,

watch this. You didn't know that once the

storm was over, that's when somebody from your bucket list

was going to come around. And then when they came around,

they was like, where I thought you was over there, How you get

over here? And now you got to tell them

that story. And as much as you might have

your facts, you don't have the testimony of what a oak tree has

in the storm. Man, I got to the other side of

the storm. I didn't get broken, right?

I didn't get shaken. I almost gave up, right?

What make me and you close, what make me and you close and make

me and some of you close is because we actually have been

through some storms together. So I watch this.

I can trust you because I know how you get down in storms,

right? It's one thing to know how I get

down on the beach. Everybody on the beach, cool.

But I know how you get down in a storm.

So the wind blows. Watch this Matthew 25.

Let's let's get some context here.

At that time, at that time, the Kingdom of heaven.

At that time, the Kingdom of heaven.

What we talking about? The Kingdom of Heaven will be

like, say be like. So this story is telling us

about the Kingdom of Heaven in the last days.

It is telling us how the Kingdom of Heaven is functioning,

operating. It is being illustrated here. 10

virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

How many virgins somebody say like a virgin?

OK, 10 virgins who took their lamps out to meet the

bridegroom. Five of them were what?

And five were what. The foolish ones took their

lamps but did not take any oil with them.

Watch this. They had oil from the last

season they had. They had oil to get them to this

point. But there's a transition coming.

Coming that God's saying you're going to need extra oil to get

across, right? I, I, I needed extra.

I needed oil to get out of Egypt.

I need oil to get through the wilderness, but I also need oil

to enter into the promised land. OK, watch this.

Everybody had oil. Everybody had lamps.

Everybody was going to meet the king.

The foolish ones took their lamps but did not have any oil.

Verse 4. The wise ones however, somebody

say however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

The bridegroom was a long time incoming right there.

See that long time love quest? Long time come in when this

building, this building ain't about this building.

When you make it about the building, you get impatient

because you need to see building results versus building results.

I don't know about you, but why I've been waiting on this

building. I know.

I know the person I've become. I know the leader I've become.

I know who my wife have become. I've seen some of y'all this

process of waiting right because sometimes it's a.

Building that makes people think God's moving.

So your timeline is on the momentum of the building.

If it begins to take too long, watch it.

Please show me anywhere in the Bible where God had a promise

and folks was waiting. Why we forget about the Bible we

read? Why we forget that there's

stories about waiting? And what was God doing in the

waiting? Yeah.

What does God do in the waiting? Right.

We think it's about PT. We think it's about love quest.

We think it's about the church down the street.

We think it's about government. We think it's about the elders.

We think it's about all these things.

But God has watch this. If your treasure is where your

heart is, and your heart is where your treasure is, if

you've sewn into the remnant, then there will be an attack on

your waiting for it because your heart is in that.

We've all sewn into it. So waiting for that is going to

be something that is going to test us, not just mowed us and

shape us. It's like a baby in the womb.

I have invested. That's my baby in that womb.

I have invested. And so I can get impatient the

longer the baby takes. And some of us would rather take

a premature baby than a healthy baby because I'm tired of

waiting. But God says you will not go

into this building with this building being the source of

your momentum. You will not go into this

building with this building being the source.

You make this an idol. No, no, no.

While we're all waiting at the bus stop in the waiting room,

watching me go back, everybody look anointed in the in the

waiting room. But what about when the winds

start blowing in the waiting room?

Now you see, are you one of the foolish or the wise?

You watch this, you might be here, but are you foolish in

your mind or wise in your mind? Do you even got extra oil to

come against the thoughts that you got?

You don't need extra oil to serve.

You need extra oil to stand. Watch this.

It was 5 without extra oil so there will be a group.

At that time he foolish. Five watch this and watch this.

They was waiting watch this and they all became drowsy.

I love this. They the the ones with extra

oil, the ones with just enough oil was all drowsy.

We all tired. We all fell asleep.

Somebody help me. Ain't that what they all became?

Drowsy and fell asleep. I'm tired too.

I got questions too. I got tears too.

I got a family too. I got dreams too.

I'm angry too. I don't like you too.

Whatever it may be, we forget that Pastor Hell, it don't

matter. We're all, we're all in this, he

said. We all got tired, we all fell

asleep and at midnight the the cry rang out.

Watch this. At midnight, the winds start

blowing. The cry, the wind began to blow.

Here comes the bride. Watch this.

Come out to meet him. Watch this.

Revival takes oil to get there. Watch this it takes oil to get

to revival. Because we about to see what

what Revival really does come out to meet him.

Revival takes oil to get there. Then then then all the virgins

woke up and trimmed their lamps. Here we go.

They trimmed their lamps. We started here.

The foolish once said to the wise, hey, give us some of your

oil. Our lamps are going out.

I love this. What did they say?

Come on, what did they say when the wind is blowing?

Oh man, oh man, I'm you guys. This is such a time of maturing

and perfecting. God is saying in this hour, it

ain't no, it ain't no buddy buddy system.

This might be the wind, might be the moment when revival lands.

It might just be the moment separation happens.

OK, before we went in the promised land, watch this God

said I can't take y'all complaining folks in the

promised land. So we we're going to kill all

y'all off and there just has to be a new generation to walk in.

The promised land came out to separation.

So when separation happens, don't freak out.

It's revival time. Revival splits.

It divides revival. Revival exposes like he says,

watch what it says and Jesus the Jesus there, he wouldn't have

put this in here. He said the Kingdom is like, so

this is a Kingdom church. So we trying to see what the

Kingdom is like. So he's saying in the waiting,

right before the wind blows, right before the king lands,

right before revival lands, there's going to be some

exposing. What the devil want to do is

expose who's right or wrong, not who's got oil and who don't.

Because here's what I look at is that if I had enough oil to get

to this moment, if I had extra oil, I might be able to get

through the pause for purpose. I might be able to get through

this atmospheric moment where I am tired.

Make watch this. Maybe up to this point, you've

done all that you could do and now all you could do is stand.

The question is, have you done all that you could do?

Said no there there may not be enough for both of us and you.

That sound like the wind blowing brother.

I don't know how I don't know if this is going to help me get to

where I need to get no watch this.

Instead go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourself.

So in this hour, it is very important you steward your oil.

Watch this. Be be careful of pouring oil

into holes. This is a time where every

individual will give an account for their prep, their

stewardship over their preparation season.

Watch it. We don't want to just look lit,

but we want to burn through the night until it's morning time.

Why you see that watch this weeping may endure.

Somebody preach right now, right I but look.

The the little bit of oil I have left.

I know it's only a few of y'all can relate to me on this but

have you have you ever drove with that little with the

gaslight on? Come on with the gaslight on.

You ever had a gaslight on And you praying you like Lord,

please, Lord, please. Right.

That's the weeping and that's the weeping enduring, Right.

And, and, and and the joy comes in the morning.

You, you when do you stop praying?

And, and it's when you when you when you roll into the gas

station like, whoa, we made it. We made it.

And then you just. Yeah, that that's the morning

time. Watch, watch it.

It took oil to get more oil. OK.

So we don't want to just look lit.

We we want to burn through the night until it's morning time.

Because when it's morning time, it's fuel up time.

How do I know that? Because joy comes in the

morning. And the joy of the Lord is my

what fuel? It's my strength.

The joy of the Lord is my oil. How did I endure throughout the

night? Did I complain?

How did I endure? Who did I listen to?

What agreements did I make through the night?

The enemy watch this. The enemy no joy coming in the

morning. So what the enemy trying to get

you to do is pull off the highway before it's morning

time. How we endorse.

Everything to the multiplication of our oil.

Watch this. So, so until it's morning time.

You with me. Until it's morning time.

Until it's what? Morning time?

Until it's what morning time. OK, y'all, y'all, y'all.

Let me come here. Come here.

Hallelujah, we we don't want to just look lit, but we want to

burn through the night. Until it's warning time, right?

The form of godliness is about to be exposed.

The form of it. Watch this when we come out on

the other side of our about ready to quit.

Season couldn't took take no most season.

What does the scripture say? Be not weary and well doing, for

if you faint, not faint, not faint, not faint.

Not faint. Not faint.

Don't mean like, huh, Sometimes faint mean If you do not if you,

if you, if you do not move from your position.

Faint, not watch this. I want you to see this.

How many people ever heard of Jesus going through the

wilderness, right? He was tempted how many times?

Three times. OK, he was tempted 3 times.

Watch this. I want you to see this.

This is after the enemy tempted him the last time and he says

get behind me for it is written. And the Bible says that the

enemy left him alone until another opportune time.

So somebody say he coming back said come on somebody say the

fight don't end. Watch this, Watch this The fight

don't end. There's just momentum Seasons

there's fuel up seasons there's seasons where God just

strengthens you in such a way. OK, Luke 4 says this.

Then Jesus went back full of and under the power of the Holy

Spirit into Galilee and the fame of him spread through the whole

region roundabout Watch this. Jesus goes through this season

in the wilderness and the Bible says right before he starts his

ministry, he goes through this temptation season, this season

to be to find out who he is, what's in him.

He goes through a crushing season.

He goes through a crushing season.

Watch this. And because he endured the

crushing season, the next verse says he came back out of the

crushing season full of and under the power of the Holy

Spirit. It is say he skipped it.

It says he came out. Watch this.

He let the devil run a full cycle.

Let patience have its work. Watch this.

Patience ends the season. Patience then hands you a

certificate, and then you come out of that season full of and

under the power of the Holy Ghost.

Then the ministry watch this. And it says of the fame of him.

What would have happened if any of those three times he quit.

All right, All three times had to do with with him giving up

his position, him giving up his post, him giving up his

identity. Watch this, watch this.

So right before he went in, he was baptized.

And what was the words of the Father?

So he got a word of affirmation before he went in.

Watch this can I can I just put it this way.

It's it's kind of like it's kind of like when EJ I'm sure God

said it a different way, but but God might have said, John, this

is your church home, whom I'm well pleased.

Now go on there and have some funk with Pastor Terence.

Let I'm going to let Pastor Terence try you.

I'm going to make you question. Watch it.

What happened after you endured till the end?

Watch this. We got to hang in long enough

for the enemy to quit. No, no, no.

I'm not going to quit before him.

I'm too competitive for that. I'm not going to quit before the

enemy quit. No, no, no, no.

I'm staying in this thing. I will not quit before he quits

because it the weeping may endure.

What enemy doesn't want me to get to is the joy in the

morning. Watch this I love this.

The valley will not Take Me Out it will only top me up.

You know that. You know some of y'all beer

drinkers in here. You like top me up.

You know it's just like you get the fuzzies running over the

top. It's like top me up.

It's like fill me up to the brim.

The valley is going to fill me up till I overflow.

I'm produced in the valley, not the mountaintop.

My purpose is refined in the valley, not the mountaintop.

My identity is revealed in the valley, not the mountaintop.

My greatest oil is found under my greatest pressures.

But what? But while they were on their way

to buy oil, back in it back in it while they were on their way

to buy oil, while they were on their way to buy oil, the

bridegroom arrived. Danny, do y'all see this?

So in other words, this wasn't the season for me to get A to to

go get oil. This wasn't the like, like this

is the season where I have been oiled up.

And now I'm about to step into why do I want to go back into a

season to get oiled up and refined and learn and learn my

lesson again when I'm right at the door of getting ready to

pour out my greatest amount of oil in my life.

Where, where, where? What I've been praying for is

right on the other side of that door.

What's this? He arrives while they're out

getting something that he already ordained a season for

them to get. This ain't the season to get

oil. Then I, I don't the, the, the

virgins who were ready went in the virgins who were what ready.

This is the ready season. I love God because it's a lot of

times he'll give you the ready word 2 years before you need to

be ready. Like you know what I'm saying?

Like he gave us you are ready two years ago.

Like that's why we got to hold on to the words because you

don't know there's prophetic timing.

I can't watch this. I can't just take a word God

gives me from heaven and hope it works for something I'm

believing for in earth. I cannot, I, I, I cannot, I

cannot take the word and make it fleshy.

I can't take the word and start prophesying it over over over

what I want to prophecy it over. When God gives you a word, you

just bots gotta wait. Just bots gotta wait and watch

this. The virgins who were ready.

I don't know who I'm talking to. If you know who you is, man, you

know who you is. If you if you, if you know if

you're ready, it's time to go in.

If you know you wanted them ready ones, I'm here to announce

to you that you are about to walk in the door and you are

about to encounter Jesus in a fresh way.

Watch this. The foolish and the wise going

to encounter Jesus just two different ways.

Watch this. I think the foolish ones are

about to encounter Jesus as a teacher, not a king.

Because I got clearly you got to go back to elementary school.

So clearly I got to put do some things in retrospect.

You going to go on that walk where you like, Dang, I should

like I'm having a good time. I'm saving ain't no pressure.

I'm not I'm I'm happy. I'm I'm familiar with y'all,

whatever the case may be, but just because I'm somewhere where

I'm comfy and familiar and and like minded does not mean right.

God, this the God that's saying go to sow into a famine?

God don't care about your comfort.

God don't care about who you know.

God don't care about how you was raised.

God just needed to get you in a family.

Yeah, your family might be toe up, but they got you here.

Watch. This Oh Jesus, help us tonight.

The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding

banquet. Right?

I'm I'm, I'm I'm want to go to the banquet.

I don't want you ever been the person in detention while

everybody else I playing. OK, y'all, I forgot this Canada

nobody do detention out here. OK, I was there.

I've been in detention a lot and while everybody having fun, I

got to sit down and I got to do the homework that I didn't do,

or I got to write lines for throwing something at the

teacher or I got to, you know, you got to write 500 times.

I will not do that. I will not do that.

I will not do that. I love my friends.

I love my friends. Right.

There's, there's, there's, there's, there's.

Watch this. Both are encountering Jesus, I

don't know about you. I don't want to just encounter

geez, I want to encounter a different facet because I didn't

teacher, you didn't taught me so much.

Teacher, can can we go out and play?

Can I? I'm really believing for some

breakthrough. I'm really, I'm really

believing. Like I, I don't mind sitting in

class. I don't mind taking tests, but

you didn't just tell me I was going to be tested.

So as much as I am ready to be tested, I am also ready to get

to the other side of the test. That's the promise as well.

So you can. Anticipate the valley, but it's

OK to anticipate the mountaintop.

Just know you're not. Going to stay there a super long

time. Watch this.

Yeah, I just got this picture. There's wind on the mountaintop

and in the valley and sometimes in the valley.

The mountains, the the mountains, they protect you from

the strength of the wind. And that's why when you get on

the mountain type you top, you're going to have to be ready

because you're easy target. So later, later the others also

came. The others later also came

because they they they was out getting.

Oil. They came back like, yeah, we

got some oil. They we got some oil.

We got some oil. We got some oil.

Lord, Lord, open the door. We got some oil.

They checking each other outfit out, They're like, yeah.

Boy, you clean, get the oil, get the oil, get the oil, stripper

the oil, get the oil. Like can you?

Can you like I got something in my teeth.

You can see they was ready. I got something in my teeth.

Am I good? Am I good?

Am I good? You coming here, coming here,

coming here, Coming, Lord. Lord, he replied, watch this,

watch this, watch this, he replied, Truly, I tell you, uh

huh. What you what you going to tell

us? We we got oil.

We got some oil. No, no, no.

No, I don't even know you. Therefore keep watch.

Now I know this ain't, but it's just almost like, therefore keep

it stepping. That's not what he's saying.

But therefore keep watching. He's saying, look, I don't even

know you because you, you, you, you do not know the day or the

hour. You don't know when I'm coming.

It's like the wind. You don't know when it's going

to blow. So when I send men and women to

God. To warn you to get rooted, to

get staked. This is not about am IA believer

and do I still love God? This is not about that.

But not every not watch this. Not every hospital is equipped

to give you the surgery for your disease.

This isn't about that. God has put men and women in the

earth and local churches in the earth.

That has in it what we need for what's in US.

He has the type of people that we need.

He got just the amount of people to get on our nerves, just the

amount of people to get friends. Just the amount of people, man,

It's, it's, it's got to be that way, he replied.

Truly. He said keep watch though,

because here's the Kingdom. You don't know the day nor the

hour. Watch this.

You're going to get caught walking to the store trying to

go get some oil. You're going to get caught

walking wherever you're walking. You're going to get caught

transition. You're going to get caught.

Whatever you're doing, you're going to get caught out here and

you're going to show up and you're going to be like, oh, and

guess what? He you're going to steal here if

this all you after that. He loves me and I love him.

Sure, I don't know about you, but it's I love God.

But I also know God has given me a very specific purpose and

assignment. So.

So as serious as people are about their careers and their

dreams, when they're looking at what schools they want to enroll

in based on the profession they want to enter?

I don't know how many people have been to college, but it is

not it's not easy. Nobody.

Amen. Nobody been.

OK, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Turn that off y'all. Y'all started late anyway.

Watch this. They went to buy some.

Somebody say buy some. Here's what they didn't know.

Here's what they didn't know. Watch this.

Go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.

Next slide, buy some for yourselves.

They didn't know this part. However, when Simon saw the Holy

Spirit was imparted through the laying on of the apostles hands,

through the laying on of the apostles hands, if the anointing

through the laying on of the apostles hands, He brought money

and offered it to them, saying, Grant me also this power and

authority in order that anyone on whom I place my hands made

the receipt of Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him,

destruction overtake your money and you, because you imagine you

could just get this oil anyway. You just imagine I can go

wherever I could be wherever and just get this oil, get this

activation, get this work for my life.

You just really thought it's that the oil is that cheap that

you can find it anywhere. Listen, let me tell you this,

this is first hand. I was in California.

Let me tell you something. I know what it's like when the

oil runs dry and I got God allowed me to be in two places.

I was coming out here for a while by myself and I was like,

oh man, the anointing, the provision, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah. And then I'll go back home and

I'm like, it's dry. I'm preaching and there's not

the same type of what not. It's not about how you receive

my anointing. If I am where I'm supposed to

be, I know the anointing is destroying yokes and removing

burdens. That's the sign of the

anointing. So then I was like, so then the

Lord, because it's him, the anointing is him.

It's his presence. Watch this.

When you follow the anointing, he will tell you where he's

working. So if you're not into being most

effective based on the assignment, then it doesn't

matter where you are. But if you want to always stay

sharp and keep that oil pouring and keep that oil rich, it's not

just a place to pour the oil. It's also I need room for my

oil. My oil.

I don't just need a piece of bread to put my oil on.

I need my oil to find its perfect match.

What is my oil meant to work on? OK, OK, OK.

Watch this. So.

So he said so he says, he says, he says, I, he tried to buy

this. And then so you see why them

trying to buy more oil took them out of God's timing.

Who said anointing? Who said the anointing felt like

joy all the time? No, no, no, the, the, the

anointing brings discomfort. If you understand what a yoke

is. He said, take my yoke.

Oh you, you going to wear a yoke?

You going to wear yo yoke or my yoke?

But I promise you, my yoke is easy.

Oh, OK. OK.

How you doing? You good?

You good? I thought I thought you were

sleeping. You doing Caleb fall asleep Easy

on my. I thought you sleep.

I was just going to go play the drums one time.

Watch this. Your oil is specific from God.

You can't get it from anywhere. This oil is not cheap.

It's costly. The oil comes from the pressing,

the crushing and the grinding. The the the oil comes from the

pressing woman with the issue. She had an issue for how long?

Years, years. And then she she, she decided to

press the the crushing. And the grinding, the oil flows.

Watch this. The oil flows after loss and

repentance. It's two times.

The oil flows the strongest after loss and after repentance.

Where do you find those, the box and the barrels?

Probably don't have time tonight to get into that, but we will

Sunday the box. And the barrels, the alabaster

box, this sinful woman, this nasty woman that Pharisees

didn't want to have nothing to do with and they were jealous.

She poured that oil on Jesus, that expensive oil.

But what happened? She repent and then we see the

barrels, where the barrels come from.

Oh, the first 7 verses before. The Shunammite woman, remember

that Sunday, Elijah said to her. What shall I do for you?

Tell me what have you of cell value in the house?

She said Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a

jar of oil. Sounds like she was running out.

The wind blew a man of God in. They said, what do you have?

She lost her husband. They were in debt.

They was about to come take her sons.

He said what do you have? She said, I got a little bit of

oil left. Watch this.

The next flow is not coming from somewhere new.

It's flowing from somewhere neutralized.

What do I mean by that? Somewhere that God has arrested.

It's coming from a place where your flesh has been arrested,

subdued, it's been neutralized. It has been, it has been put

under. It is not coming from a new

place. It's coming from a new part of

your old part of your life that God has been after and you no

longer run it. And you putting it under extra

oil is an instant. Extra oil comes from insistence.

Extra oil isn't instant. Extra oil comes from insistence.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

In with Romans. Jesus Christ, extra oil is not

instant. You have to be pressed in order.

You have to be pressed. You have to go.

Through the crushing in the pressing you are made.

Ye, I know you can't find what key I'm in.

It's a special key. You know what I'm saying?

Like we. We.

We make the oil. The oil is cheap in this

generation. Like where that old?

School oil at like the. Reason it was so annoying it

back then the Billy Graham's and the the the people who went

through stuff back then what they had to get through and

endure watch this they couldn't run watch because of our phones

we can get. Anybody to agree?

With whatever we thinking, Yeah, right.

The the Lord told the Lord showed.

Me this the. The the role of the pastor is

becoming less and less honored, respected and needed for you

guys for people this generation and this generation is turning

into like grocery stores self checkout and when you start

putting in. Self checkouts you.

Start eliminating people. We don't need pastors, and when

we do have them, we want to conform them into.

So we're turning into. Self checkout.

In a time. Where we actually need to know.

Who are the prophets in the land, right?

We need endurance, but right now we could go self checkout.

We can get AI and tell us what do you do in this situation?

No, we don't want to go talk to to to a male.

You know, what do you do in this situation?

We can go online, we can go to Instagram.

We can go find a YouTube person. We can go find another pastor

that agree with us. God can be in this house trying

to change something. And I'm going to deal with this

about the yeast. There was the yeast of the

Pharisees and the yeast of the Sadducees.

And although the bread was good when you grew up, there was some

yeast in it that God is saying it is still within you.

And when you look at the Pharisees, the yeast of

legalism, I grew up in a church. Every single day, almost.

And there was some amazing things.

I'm a church kid. I grew up knowing some things.

But I look back now, I know better.

There's some things that's like, Nah, that ain't going to make it

today. It may have worked then.

There's some good stuff about how we was raised, but there's

some stuff that God is saying what I want to do in your life.

I can't use that no more. You can't mix how you was raised

with how I am raising you. So then they.

Compete. And he tells them don't.

Eat the yeast of the Pharisees, don't eat the yeast of the

Sadducees. And once I'm done?

Preparing that and talk man, it's it's just.

Powerful. It's just so much that's still

in us that God has no need of no more, and it's competing.

We won't. No, no, no, no, no, no.

But he's like, man, I'm trying to get out of this, this old way

of thinking. Lord, I don't want I don't want

self checkout. I need to hear from you, I.

Need. I need the profit in my life.

I need impostles in my life. I need, I need a counter.

I need it in my life. I don't.

Lord, if you like Moses, say, if you don't go with me, I don't

want the present, but if you go with me, I'll take the press in

all day. Because I want the watch.

This. I want the oil.

I don't just want the assignment, I want the oil.

I mean. Inside, I want to be one of the

most most powerful pastors and preachers and teachers and

communicators. When it's all said and done,

guess what I got a lot of learning to do.

I make mistakes. I don't get it all right.

All the time I'm learning. Watch this.

But he's working on me and and and.

And and all? He asks.

Of me is to be humble, have fruit of repentance.

What is fruit of repentance? It means you're always in a

posture where God can correct and mold.

So Lord, mold, expose, do whatever you got to do.

I want to be more like you. It's moreover let us also.

Let us also be full. Of joy.

Now watch this. Let us exalt in triumph.

And in our troubles, watch this The enemy knows this is a.

This is a. Strategy.

So what he doesn't want us to do in troubles and in pressure and

in hard times is triumphing and praising and.

Focused on the good. Triumph.

In our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings.

Watch this knowing that pressure and affliction.

Watch this knowing Seon, no, this is not.

I got to learn it again. I got to.

I got to get to a point in my walk that I know what suffering

is for. I know the benefits of pressure

and affliction. Watch this and hardship produce

patient and unswerving endurance perfecting so God asked.

Me wherever I find. Pressure and affliction and

hardship and trouble. He's saying I will find him, and

I will find me under that. What he has for me will be

produced under that. How?

Because under that I exalt, and I triumph, under that I find a

praise. In my prison I find a praise.

In my pit I find a praise. In my lion's den I find a

praise. In my fiery furnace I find a

praise. And endurance develops maturity.

Oh, wait a minute. What are you just telling us

this is? The season of.

Perfecting what does it mean that perfecting don't come by

Bible study and we just read and, you know, more scripture.

What does it say? OK, a part of that you got to

get the lesson and then we got to go on a hardship field trip,

you know, like you can't be. No, you can't be no cop you.

Can't be no fireman, you can't be no you can't be no nurse, you

can't be no doctor without having some time.

Some ride. Alongs.

If you freaking out on the ride. Along watch this you.

Freaking out on the ride along without a gun on you, you ain't

even a target, you're just riding along with the target.

So if you freaking out and you just.

Next to the target. What it's going to look like

when you put the gun on an endurance develops maturity of

character of proof that watch this you don't just need faith,

you need to prove faith. Watch this you.

Need tried integrity and character of this sort produces

the character of this sort. What is character of this sort

character that's been tried? It's like I know you to be a

standard. Paul, You think Paul was able to

get to the end? And say I fought the good.

Fight if he didn't fight and. Character of this sort produces

the habits of. Joyful and confident hope of it

produces the habit of joyful and confident hope when under

pressure. What God's saying, if you want

me in the last days, you're going to have to.

Learn how to. Have this level of victory even

when it's hard. Watch it, watch it, watch this.

OK, since we have. Virgin.

OK. I'll end you with this Olive oil

is only extra virgin when it's crushed once.

Watch this pure. Untamed.

Straight from the press. The extra doesn't mean it was

added later. It means it was pressed right

the first time. It was pressed right the first

time. Praise God, it was pressed.

Right the first time. I got it right.

The first lesson. I only had to be.

I only had to learn that one time.

And This is why experience is not the best teacher.

It's the hardest and some of us just like I'm gonna.

Go through that myself, You. I'm gonna go through that.

No, no, no. How stupid is that?

I said. No, no, no, you don't need.

To take. My word for it, right?

If we all needed to experience. God a certain.

Way Why did he leave us a Bible? What do we got the word for?

Why we say if he did it before, he could do it again, but I want

him to do it afresh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no. No, no, no, I count it.

All joy when I fall into diverse temptations, because.

I know this, I can count it all joy because I know this, that

the trying of my faith, my faith is on try.

I know this is going to pass. I'm not focused on the temporal,

so I understand the pressure I'm under.

No matter how great it gets, God is producing something in this

pressure. The enemy wants to tap me out.

Watch this. And the reason I tap out is

because I've been spending my energy where I had no anointing

to fight. So here's a word for somebody,

and whoever gets it, gets it. Keep.

On. Pressing because you are in

labor. About to give birth to power

you're. About to give birth to power?

You're about to. Step into one of your most

effective. Efficient God seasons of your

life you were about to see him use you like never.

I'm talking about I'm I'm even experiencing it in the form of

man revelation. He is just opening up stuff and

unlocking mysteries. Watch this and because you've

already been through it and you still stand.

This is not a season where you got to pay for the oil.

No, you watch this. It's been.

Paid for. You're about to start flowing in

the anointing because you allowed yourself to be crushed

and you got to the other side. Whoever I'm talking to know that

the oil is flowing right now. It may just be flowing from the

inside out. It may be fresh revelation.

It may be wisdom in this season, but that's the anointing.

What God is revealing to you is the anointing of God.

Sunday we're going to get to man why we need to.

Be equipped. Watch this, it says, because we

need to not waver when the time comes that every wind of

doctrine blows. So we got to look at the

different types of winds and what are the winds of doctrine?

It's not the winds of the Bible. It is all the different.

Wherever I said something today, everybody's right, right now

everybody's right, everybody's right and everybody.

Got a scripture? To support, they write and

everybody got somebody to support, they write.

So you got you got you got four other foolish people, you got

Scripture and you got your favorite few pastors and

preachers and teachers on YouTube.

Everybody's right. Everybody has.

How are we going to hear in this hour?

He says. Look at their fruit.

You you want some advice on some on some marriage I.

Need to in this hour I need to look at fruit.

Is your marriage winning? Because what you're about to

tell me why it ain't working for you?

If it works so much if. They overcome by the.

Word or they they overcome by testimony.

You ain't overcame yet. But everybody got a area they

can offer somebody. Wisdom, everybody.

So know who's in your life, who you can talk, who you can talk

to. What about right?

I can't talk to Norbert. I can't talk to Uncle Willie.

About construction, I'm not calling.

I'm not going to waste my minutes on talking to Uncle

Willy about construction. I'm going to call Norbert.

Some of y'all want to go to Uncle Willy and talk to Uncle

Willy. About getting a PhD, Uncle Willy

don't know nothing about getting no PhD.

We'll watch this. All willing listeners.

Are not all. Ordained counselors.

That just came off the oven. Somebody write that down.

All willing listeners watch this, and all people with some

wisdom. Are not all ordained counselors?

God might have a word for you through somebody you don't.

Respect. Do you got ears to hear God,

man, I'm praying for you guys. I'm standing for you guys.

I'm standing with you guys and we are about to walk through.

The body of Christ. Is about to walk through a a

very glorious time but here's the unfortunate part not

everybody is going to experience that there's some people who are

satisfied with just singing songs and waiting till Jesus

return and and and doing services and meaning meaning we

we do ministry, we hand out food we do those all these good

things. I'm not talking about if it's

good or not. What I'm trying to get us to

understand is you have an assignment.

What is God? Called you to.

And can you withstand the pressure the oil costs?

So as the wind blows, which one will you be found as extra oil?

Or rushing to. The store to try and get some

watch this. The extra oil you needed.

Was where God had you. Not at the other place.

It wasn't at the store. Because for what God's called

you to do, He has the oil that that he needs to work through

you. I just declare over every single

person in here. That you will not get weary.

And well, doing you, You will not give up.

You will not. Quit.

You will not faint. You will have the discipline and

strength to silence. The enemy.

You will have the discernment to understand the voice of the

enemy versus God's voice versus your voice.

There's your voice, there's the enemy's voice, there's God's

voice, and then there's a whole bunch of other people's voice.

I pray in this hour you stand. I pray in this hour all.

Of us are humble enough. To repent where we have fallen

short, but we realize that the grace of God keeps us moving,

keeps us going. But if you are in a.

Place where you are battling and.

You're wrestling and you feel pressure, man.

There's one side of me want to say, man, you are right.

Where God needs you. Don't quit.

Maybe in this? Hour.

Is just a little repositioning. It's it's.

Maybe it's a conversation, maybe I, I, I don't know what it is

for you, but I promise you that this pressure.

You're under in this season. It's it's a divine.

Pressure. That's meant.

To grow you, develop you, perfect you at the end of the

day. Every individual knows exactly.

Where they are. We all have to hear the Lord for

ourselves. I pray something tonight was

spoken that encouraged you, that brought clarity to you, that

empowered you. At the end of the day, when it's

all said and done, Jesus will have the last say when it's all

said and done. We will all take.

Our seats that the blood has purchased.

When it's all said and done. The Lord will have His way in

our lives. I bind.

And I rebuke. The devourer that the words that

God. Has spoken in your life will not

be lost. In translation, it will not be

lost in transition. Every word that God has spoken

over your life shall come to pass.

It shall come to pass. You will see the salvation of

the Lord. In this lifetime, you will see

the salvation of the Lord in this lifetime, and you will see

the salvation of the Lord in this lifetime.

Extra oil, extra oil, extra oil. Sunday we will see what it takes

to get extra oil because God is going to equip us to make sure

we do not run out. Come on, look at your neighbor

and say you will not run out. Come on, stand to your.
