Help My Unbelief - (12PM) 11.2.25 (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 you.

You are anointed for to build and to battle.

Come on. You are anointed to build and to

battle. Come on, speak that over

yourself. I'm anointed to build and to

battle, right? Right.

Watch this. You are maturing into the place

where you can handle the breaking better than you handle

the blessing, right. I know everybody here can have a

blessing like you love. When you get blessed, you got a

hippie loaded Lord. No, no, no, no.

But when the breaking comes, you are about to respond

differently. There's, there's, there's you

got to understand the breaking produces the the breaking

produces. And you got to let it produce

the by. Where does it say the breaking

produces? Well, it says your faith is on

trial. In James 1, he said let patience

have its perfect work. What is patience doing?

It's working. My faith is on trial.

My patience is working. It almost sounds like I need my

patience when my faith is it's on trial, right?

This is not the season for my faith to be at work.

It's the season for my patience to be at work.

So that when patience has had it's perfect work, it says that

see, when that season is over, I will lack for nothing.

Not talking monetary, but you're getting to a place where you're

need to get out of a storm is is going to be not a need anymore.

Watch this. Jesus didn't need to get out the

storm because he knew he was getting to the other side.

The disciples needed to get out the storm because they thought

they was going to die. Watch this.

So instead of faith, they have panic.

And some of you panic too much under pressure.

When pressure is making diamonds, no, you need to stay

in there. So I know some of y'all don't

want to hear this today, but God is perfecting you to have

staying power. Your greatest witness is not

your house, your car, your money or your business.

Your greatest wisdom, your your greatest witness is how well you

handle pressure, how long you can stay under without

complaining. Come on, he says.

He say they will run and not get weary and they go walk and not

think that's the perfect thing. Watch I'm I'm I'm going from

panic to poise. Can I let me give you 5?

Let me give you 5. I'm going from panic to poise.

Watch this. You not going to rush me out the

valley? Can I talk to you today?

Don't let the devil rush you out the valley because you think the

outcome of the valley is a blessing.

Watch this. The outcome of the valley is

perfecting. If you come out the valley

blessed but still immature, you miss purpose.

Got you. This is so so we're in the topic

called Help my unbelief. Come on, help my unbelief one

more time. Help my unbelief.

Look at your neighbors. Say you need some help.

Watch this, watch this, watch this.

And if they got offended, look back at them and say that's what

I was talking about. Exactly what I'm talking about

watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this

first, first experience. You're going, you go, you go,

you're going to get it again, but you go.

But I promise you God is going to reveal some stuff to you that

you didn't get. There's too much here for you to

get it all. So we going we going, we going

to eat some leftovers and and some of the seasonings going to

reveal itself that that you didn't taste in there.

I'm I'm talking about leftover my left where my leftover people

at Amen. Let that let it sit the next day

you get you like, oh, that wasn't in there yesterday.

Amen. Watch this.

Watch this really quickly. So some review.

OK. There will always be the cycle

of blessing and breaking thorns and triumph in the ministry of

perfecting sons and daughters always.

So get over it. It ain't just going to be you're

not striving to get to blessing, blessing, blessing, blessing.

No, you're going to have to learn to live in the tension of

blessing and breaking thorns and triumph.

Somebody Amen for me, Jesus replied.

Here we go. This is the work.

This is the work. This is the purpose of

everything that God is doing in your life.

It is that you believe. Somebody say that I believe.

He woke me up this morning so I can believe, right?

Watch this. If I'm alive, He alive, OK?

He brought me through that storm.

So I can what, believe if every single person right now just

took 60 seconds to think back? Don't tell me.

Don't tell me. Don't have more clarity about

where you want to go than where he brought you from.

I hear what you want your future to look like, but do you

remember the hell he brought you on to?

You know what I, I, I think there's some people in here that

can benefit from 60 seconds, 60 seconds of reflection.

So you going to go ahead. I'm going to go ahead take 60

seconds because I don't know what God want to reveal today.

But before we go forward in the text, we need to just take a

glimp A glimpse back and some of y'all need this.

Some of y'all need to go back and be like, oh, I thought it

was over. Oh, I was, I, I, I almost lost

my mind. Oh, my heart was so broken.

Oh, I was so traumatized. And then I want your reflection

to lead to a revelation that you are free and healed from that

time because some of you still carrying residue of your trauma.

But I'm here to help a few people today.

Your trauma don't got you like you think it does.

Your your your trauma don't you can make a choice to live in the

free indeed right now. Your trauma don't got you like

watch this. Watch this.

Memories aren't a sign of trauma.

I don't even know some of y'all, but I guarantee you, you was

freaking out worse back then. OK, take your 60 seconds.

I'm all up in your 60 seconds. Go on, take your 60 seconds.

Go ahead. Hallelujah.

Oh, yeah, right. When he, when he brings

something back to your memory, he'd be like, oh, yeah, I

remember that. He brought me out of that.

Yeah, he was, he brought me out of that.

That poverty. Oh yeah.

Some of y'all, even y'all got so many pairs of shoes, you need to

be like, Dang, like, I know it seemed materialistic, but no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just remember when you was

tripping over one pair of shoes, Now you got way too many pair of

shoes. Come on, He brought me out.

He cares about the details. You might still be broke, but

you got you got more shoes. Hey, man, Hallelujah.

Come on. Take 60 seconds.

I hear the Lord saying, that was me.

We, we may not even, we, I don't know how far we going to get,

but this is for somebody. Can you just praise God for when

you wanted to die, He kept you alive?

Can you, hey, hey, can you praise God for the that one

prayer He didn't answer when you said take me Lord, and can you

praise him for not answering that prayer?

Yeah. What you thinking about right

now? That's the gospel.

Yeah. I know some of y'all stories.

I know some of y'all stories. There's somebody in here, forget

what's going wrong right now. Think about what he brought you

out of. Man, some of y'all in here with

so much strength right now, but can you remember the day you was

depleted? Remember, your son or your

daughter was in that jam in that situation, and you've watched

God keep you. Watch this, your son or daughter

may not be out of a mess with you, out of your stress.

Come on, somebody. Watch this some of y'all missing

God just because you don't even you don't even like me, you

don't even like the church. You just see you what you come

here for. I'm talking about what God has

done for you, not about your preferences right now.

Watch this. The greatest threat is not that

I go back to my prison. The greatest threat is I never

leave it when I was free. Man, I'm telling you there.

You. You are.

You are. I'm not that.

Watch this. There is no more change.

There is no change to take off of you in this moment.

There's only eyes to open. So I'm praying in these next 60

seconds, something, something, something, something.

Your freedom is unveiled in your in your spirit that you realize.

Wait a minute. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no. The devil is a lie.

I'm, I'm, I'm not bound like I used to be.

I know what it feels like, but I don't need back then, I

wouldn't, I wouldn't even came to church today back then.

The fact that I'm still here, the fact that I came to church

today, that's a different response for me.

The fact that I'm smiling right now, that's a different

response. The fact that I can lift my

hands right now, that's a different response than I used

to have. Now some people might be like,

can we get on with the message? No, no, no, no.

Do you remember when we just called on the name of Jesus?

So when you call on the name of Jesus, what are you?

What are you supposed to do? Not show up,

only believe. Come on, Jesus replied that you

believe. Mark 536 says do not be afraid,

only keep on believing. Come on, say believe in is not a

Sprint, it's a lifelong marathon.

But watch this. Believe in me and my power.

No Believe in his ability. Believe, believe.

No, no, no, no. There's a Kingdom to explore.

You didn't just get saved so you can walk through the door.

There's a Kingdom to explore. And it is through our storms,

our pains, our valleys that His Kingdom has a chance to be

revealed. Have mercy on us and help us if

you can. What?

What do you mean if I can Jesus ask.

Anything is possible if a person believes.

We learned this in the first experience is that when God says

anything, it also means always. I love that God, God's not

talking about anything on Tuesdays and Thursdays, no God's

anything store is open always. Somebody say always.

God's anything is always. So if I want to live in the

realm of the impossible always, then I got to believe that he

can do anything. So what are you going through?

Some of the stuff you stressed out about is not impossible to

get over. But I love that God, when I'm

going through the practical, He assigns me sometimes to the

impossible. Watch this.

Because when I enter into the impossible while I'm going

through the practical, it makes my practical nothing.

So while you going through stuff with your family, I need you

believed to believe Terrence. I need you to deal with the city

and I need you to deal with this building.

I need you to deal with other people's lives and I need you to

deal with this impossible stuff. Be distracted with the

impossible while I take care of the practical.

Because right now you making the practical impossible because

your unbelief, you making the practical impossible.

Some of the stuff you stressed out about, it's just another job

you just need to get you just need some more money or you need

to you can't get unlimited plan on your cell phone or you some

of your financial issues, you just can't go out like you want

to go out some some of your stress is you on the phone with

the wrong people too, too much you you want peace, but you

always giving your time to peace snatchers.

That's not an impossible you over here asking God to hang up

the phone for you. No no, no.

Stop replying. Stop reading the e-mail watch

this change your e-mail, change your phone number.

That's not impossible. God's like there's practical

things you can do right? You got 2 fish fried loaves.

Give it to me. OK right.

What's in your hand that you can hand over to God?

Anything is possible if a person believe so the impossible is

possible for the people that what believe.

The man says I do believe, I do believe but somebody shout out

but but help me overcome my unbelief as I've been speaking

to you is that there's nobody in here that believes at the

highest level in every area of their lives.

Watch this because you don't believe does not give you

permission to leave it alone. There's some areas I just don't

want to believe. I just want to leave it alone

and let God, Right. There's part of that where you

just like, I'm just going to trust the Lord.

Yeah. But he says after you've done

all that you could do, then you could just stand.

But some of us just close our eyes and we just want whatever

that thing is to go away. And God is saying in this hour,

whoever you are, engage with that impossible situation.

You might not have energy, you might not have love.

Love may have never been shown to you.

You may not know how to love. You may not know how to do

whatever it is. But you do not get to forfeit

the assignment because you lack the experience or the belief to

go through it. God I believe but there's some

areas of my life is just a mess and I struggle believing I don't

got it all together and I am tired of acting like I do look

to somebody that don't got an attitude and say it sounds like

that was you that wrote that. To be honest, sometimes it's

just easier to just let me be God than to ask me to believe.

Anybody ever felt like that before?

I know I I know I have like I don't, I don't feel like get, I

don't feel like waking my belief up today.

Let them sleep. Just because my faith is weak

does not give me a license to be emotionally irresponsible,

right? We I didn't read that full time

five times over the last week. And every time I read it, it

just hit me right there in the belly button.

Just because my faith is weak does not give me a license to be

emotionally irresponsible. Watch this.

Just because I don't, I don't have the faith for it, watch

this. Or because I don't see it like

God sees it, does not give me the permission to quit.

Watch this or put words in God's mouth because I don't understand

God's assignment. Oh, this hurt too much.

Let me forfeit engaging in this valley, in my life.

That's what the children of Israel, you need to get the

spirit of Israel out of your belly.

Because what they wanted to do is avoid the wilderness, to take

the easy route. And God had something better for

them. Watch this.

God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

It don't matter how good he is. He is not obligated to bring you

into the promised land just because you his kids, but he

good all the time. Today's goal is to get my faith

fired up. Somebody say fired up, flowing,

my faith flowing down and my faith flourishing wide.

Here's my gut, man. Activate your faith.

One day I'm gonna teach on faith, foolishness and

presumption. I've learned the hard way.

Some stuff you call faith is just pure foolishness.

This is it's just foolish. And here's our simple prayer.

Lord, help me believe in every area.

May I never get weary in the well doing of believing.

Come on, today I choose to believe.

Here we go. As the wind blows and as the oil

pours, pour. As the oil pours.

As the wind blows and the oil pours and the power surges.

In this hour, remember that the oil is cheapened and power is

short circuited where preference and fear is elevated.

Not not everybody got preferences, but be careful when

you elevate your preference over the assignment.

I'm preaching. So I'm.

I'm preaching to you right now, right?

Yeah. A lot of times we don't realize

this is the trick. The tactic of the enemy is to

get me into my preference because I don't like where I'm

at or what I'm doing or who doing it or who walking with me.

I elevate my preference which really comes from my fears of

change or my fear. Watch this of how different we

are. Fear will always try to lead me

to my preference, and my preference will always lead me

to familiar territory. Here we go about this time next

year, Elijah said. You will hold a son in your

arms. Shoot a might one.

It says no, my Lord, she objected.

Please, man of God, don't mislead your servant.

So like Sarah, she laughed. Right, like Mary, she said, Huh,

How I'm going to have Jesus? First of all, you asked me to

have a Savior, but then how I'm going to have him without

sleeping with somebody? And I ain't going to do that

because I'm faithful. We see this.

We see this. Not yet.

Mama and I searched. Watch this, Rosa, she never even

desired a son. This wasn't a prayer.

She just old and settled. And the man of God just rolled

up on her like, hey, not even today we handed our babies.

You want one, she said about this time next year.

It is in God's will and you don't see it yet, but your best

interest, you will hold a son in your arms.

No, my Lord, she objected. Please, man of God, don't

mislead your servant. She she says don't, don't get my

hopes up. She didn't call him a liar.

She just said don't don't don't do this to my don't do this that

this is too much on an old lady, but the woman became proud.

Just jump to it. I I hear you, but the woman

became pregnant. Listen, when God is ready to

bring some in your life, he does not need your permission.

Hallelujah. So just stop giving it.

You can ask questions all you want to, but He does not need

your permission to bring into your life where he know is going

to grow you. But the woman became pregnant

and the next year, about that same time, she gave birth to a

son, just as Elisha had told her.

Watch this. I thank God that there are men

and women in the world that's in the earth that hear from God.

And I can hear from them. The generation that that is numb

to the prophet's voice. It's just so familiar.

OK, watch this. My job, EJ Jobs, the women of

God's job, whoever's job is to release the word to you.

You can listen or not. You can say, oh, that's just PT.

Yeah. Oh, that's Elder John, Right.

Look, look at this. I don't care if you're offended

with me. If you hear a word about you,

you better receive it, right? Be mad.

Be, be, whatever. Don't be.

But listen. Listen.

This, these last days is very crucial.

So I thank God in these last days, I'm not going to go

without knowing what's up. Yeah.

So it happened just as Elijah said, watch this.

The time happened and the guaranteed delivery happened

because he wants to make sure it wasn't going to go.

He said he going to be put right in your arms and you going to

hold him. This time next year you are

going to be looking in the eyes of a miracle.

I jumped to verse 28. She said did I ask you for a

son? Sir, I love this, I love, I love

this. Did I ask you for a son?

Wait, listen, listen, I'll tell you this love quest and there's

been other things in my life and I'm like, Lord, I didn't ask you

for all this, right? I was cool with just a little

little little Bible study and then watch this.

Once you start getting your belief working, now you find

people that will say what you believe in for is crazy.

Well, do you? If you met me when I didn't

believe, you would understand. I ain't asked for all this, but

I'm not about to reject what God has impregnated.

We meet with to make you comfortable right now, right.

Nothing to call Laura whoever. I'm just calling names out.

I'm like you can go back to when you didn't believe.

Now you're believing is going Now folks want to talk you down.

Oh, it don't take all that. Yeah, dude, I was almost dead in

my depression because I wasn't believing for God's stuff.

I'm not believing for me. I'm believing for what God needs

me to believe for. I'm giving birth to.

I'm giving birth to God's seeds. No, I'm not going to abort God's

seeds. Like you don't mind.

Did I ask you for a son, my Lord?

She said, did not tell you don't raise my hopes.

Watch that unbelief. Watch it unbelief.

Watch this, watch this. Here it is.

Remember the statement about how the oil and the power is

compromised where preference in fear is elevated?

She has a moment where she is battling for her preference

because of her fear. Don't raise my hopes.

You may not like what God's doing now, but keep believing.

You'll like what's next. I promise you'll like what's

next. Somebody, somebody just speaking

over yourself. You're going to like what's

next. Whoa, you're going to like

what's next. You're going to like what's

next. Faith isn't finished when things

die. Faith is just proven in the

waiting and the returning father help our belief.

Just read this in context starting at verse eight.

One day Elijah went to shoot him and not to shoot him.

He didn't go to shoot him, he went to shoot him.

OK, I got my Invisalign in. So he might have sounded like

shoot him and a well to do woman was there.

A well to do woman means she was wealthy, she was influential and

well respected. A well to do woman.

This is important because several several scriptures back

he was dealing with a woman of poverty where the miracle her

need watch this. Her need is different from this

woman's need. This woman has no need.

The woman he just left has a need.

So they both think, watch this. A well to do woman was there who

urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he

stopped there to eat. She said to her husband, I know

that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God.

I remember when I first start coming to Canada hero, it was

amazing how God opened homes for me to stay in.

It would just be me. Sometimes it would just be me

and Uncle Willie I'm talking about.

I ain't got from where I came from.

I ain't got no business in these people house up in Dawson Creek

in Williams Lake. I'm talking about a brother like

Josh. I had no business being in these

people house from where I come from, right?

But when God makes a room for you, just lay down and rest,

Amen. Right.

And so, so God, I didn't realize that God was hosting me in

Canada because he was preparing to release me into Canada.

So he had to get he had to, he had to make me at home

immediately, right, Because I didn't want to be here in the

1st place. Let's make a small room.

Watch this. She discerned he was a holy man.

She began to express her generosity and her gratitude and

she said, let's make a small room on the roof.

Let's make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a

table, a chair and a lamp. Ancient Israel hospitality.

This is sacred duty when you you make a room for someone in your

house. It expressed covenant and

loyalty and reverence towards God's messengers, right?

She was doing that on behalf of the Lord.

Watch this. Then He can stay there whenever

he comes to to us. This was his room.

This wasn't the air mattress for the night.

She made a room for him. One day when Elijah came, he

went up to his room and lay down there.

Building Elijah a room signified long term commitment.

Say long term commitment and honor towards God's presence.

Look, look, look, look, look. She blessed him in a way that

spoke covenant, not guests, right?

We, we got to understand that God puts people in our lives to

be in covenant with, not guests in our lives.

And some people that you in covenant with should be guests

and some people that are guests should be in covenant.

You're making room for the wrong people.

Hallelujah. Keep it pushing, he said to his

servant Gaheza. Call, call the shoe nobody.

Call the shoe nobody. So he called her.

She stood before him. Lasha said to him.

Tell her you have gone to all this trouble for us now how can

I bless you? Amen.

Can we speak on your behalf to the King or the commander?

Watch this, she replied. I have a home among my own

people. In other words, I have no need.

I am comfortable where I'm at. I love where I'm at.

I have people that I'm responsible for.

I have no need. Watch this.

I'm good and I'm content. All of us want to get to that

place in our life right where we good and content.

Amen. Don't be scared now.

Don't be scared to say I want to be content now.

I'm good and I'm content. That's all she's saying in its

simplicity. I'm good and I'm content, man.

And God, I've made this room for you because I know you had a

need because you come and bless our people all the time.

You bless our city all the time. And I have the resources and the

means to create a space for you. So when you come here, you don't

have to go get a hotel or you don't have to Ubereats or

nothing like that. Skip the dishes.

Like I'm, I got some, I got some food for you and I'm gonna make

it comfortable. I'm gonna give you a desk and a

lamp so you can study, right? So I'm creating a space for you.

OK. She's also saying I have nothing

else I'm believing for. I have somebody come talk to me

today and said this message was for them this morning.

They was driving here this morning and was like God, like

what am I doing? What I'm doing for right now?

Because I'm actually content in my life.

I actually don't have no needs. Like I'm not in need for

nothing. And they said they were super

blessed this morning because what they realized is that the

hell that they're going through, through something that they

desire, that something that they didn't see themselves doing, but

it's in the area that they love, all the progress and all the

process. They realized that that was

created and assigned by God so that they can know God in a way

they hadn't needed to. If all you get is the money out

of the assignment, you missed it.

I want the money and I want to know God better.

Watch this. I have nothing else I'm

believing for. Watch this every Remember this

please every God assignment is to reveal, reveal and build your

faith in another facet of God's glory.

Anybody heard of a diamond? Diamonds have what facets?

Some of y'all like I ain't got no diamonds, so I don't know

what that I don't know what the diamond here.

Diamond got shined, diamond got shined.

No facets. Facets, facets, facets.

Watch this, watch this. All she knew God asked was Gyra.

I know you know all the names of Jesus, but have you experienced

the name? Maybe you going through

something this season? See, see, I don't know.

Maybe Danny needed to go through what she was going through

because she needed to know healer.

But guess what? After healer, it ain't over,

right? Like like like like at the end

of the day, what what you should be interested in God, what facet

you about to show me in this season?

Right? Because as I find him, I find

me. And if I only know a part of

him, I only know a part. Come on somebody.

So as God continues to turn, how, how do you think the angels

are able to say day and night, glory, glory, glory, or holy,

holy, holy, holy? Because God keeps revealing

himself over and over and over and over and over and over and

over and over. So whatever you need to be

aware, watch this of not the hell you going through, but the

facet God is about to reveal to you.

Somebody help me this morning like I don't know some some

people, some people look, we all experiencing God, but in this

season somebody might be be experiencing Jireh, somebody

might be experiencing Rafa, somebody might be experiencing

the resurrected king. Somebody is Belle Perezim,

somebody is Jehovah Mercatus. God is separating you in this

season, right? He is sanctifying you in this

season. And that's the problem is you've

been focusing on lack. You've been focusing on your

heartbreak. But maybe God in this season is

revealing the mender of the broken hearted.

Because once I know him in that way, watch this, watch this.

There's not a side of God that I experience that he then

afterwards does not release the power for that through me.

You, you want to heal a ministry, but you don't want to

go through no sickness. You just thought it was oil.

No, you need oil and experience. Hallelujah, watch this because

you need oil and compassion, right?

You, you don't know what that man of God that's travelling all

over the world, how his ministry got the way it was.

It ain't because he just got oil.

He's seen his son brought back to life.

He's seen his Mama. He, you know what I'm saying?

Like dude, you got to have some experiential currency to walk in

the power that God has called you to walk in.

And all of us, some of y'all just want oil but no experience.

You want that Crisco? Why is it so?

Ah, you want that cheap oil? You want that baby oil?

That's what you're going to end up in prison with that baby oil.

Hey, man. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. We praying for brother love.

Hey, man. Hey, man.

Lily, that's the you leaving the jerk.

You leaving the baby. Hallelujah.

All right, all right, let's reset.

Let's reset. That was a good point.

That was a good point. Come on, come on.

But that's what I'm saying, right?

Right. Right.

The cheap way is not the cheap way is not the God way.

The cheap way is not the God way.

OK, you call me bougie all you want to, right?

I'm all day. You should have never brought

out. You should have never gave me

hard bites with avocado oil all day, all day.

Look, chips with avocado oil kind of make you feel like you

ain't cheating on the fast. It's dip is it's a vegetable

dipped in a vegetable, Amen. Hollow Amen.

Amen. Or is it a fruit?

The avocado's the fruit, Amen. So whatever you get what I'm

saying that that that green thing, Amen, Amen.

Every, every, every, every God, every God assignment is to

reveal and build your faith in another facet of God's glory.

Why you think of what perfecting is?

If, if, if, if, if he only revealed one side of me and

that's the only like if for him to reveal healer to me all the

time, either I got to be sick all the time or somebody else

got to be sick all the time that I know.

And then after a while I'm be like, why you always sick,

right? Is it just why you always need

financial breakthrough, right? You, you get what I'm saying.

So now you have broken through in an area.

It's not so much that you become a master in that area, but you

do become an ambassador in that area.

Talk to us, Lord. What can be done for her?

Elijah asked Gahesai. Gahesai said she has no son.

She has no son and her husband is old.

Then Elijah said, call her so. So he called her and she stood

in the doorway. She stood in the doorway, right.

She came to the room to the door that she to the to the, to the

door of the room that she prepared for the man of God

about this time next year, Elijah said you will hold a son.

Remember that, remember that. And she said, no Lord, uh, uh,

she panicked. Watch this, what do you do when

you're good with what you have and where you are and God says,

wait, there's more, right man, right?

Because a lot of times through this Christian journey and we're

trying to get somewhere. Be careful what you identify

your arrival at. Be careful where you have put

God to be finished with you. Be careful where you put God to

like when he does that for you. I don't got nothing else God.

I could just be in love with you.

Just mean we could just worship all day.

No, no, no God going to show up. He going like OK enjoy that.

Enjoy your healing. Enjoy OK well enjoy it so you

don't go through your entire life wondering why it is

happening and why that here man. Here's how you can have peace in

the storm. The storm was an assignment more

than the other side was Watch this.

The assignment wasn't on the other side.

The assignment was in the storm right when Jesus got to the

other side, he got to deliver him.

He was only called to he was only called to a few.

They assignment was in the boat. See, you think you think the

assignment is the person that's going to come to the altar and

you lay hands on them. You think that's your

assignment. No, that's God's assignment, yo

assignment is what it took for his power to flow through you

for the person at the altar. Come on, somebody.

Come on, somebody. Yo assignment ain't this

platform. Watch this.

Yeah, if you think your assignment the platform, you

better change your mind quick because this platform going to

cause going to bring all kinds of stuff.

Hallelujah. Here, here.

Can you handle the storm assigned to the platform?

OK, OK, see folks thought it was a mic.

They keep it pushing. PT may man, they keep it

pushing. What do I I don't, I don't.

What do you do when you're good? Yep, I read that.

What do you do when the God you say you trust disrupts the

rhythm you proud you built? Come on, take a picture for your

spouse or whatever you got to do.

Take a picture, do what you got to do.

What do you do when the gods you say you trust disrupts the

rhythm you proud you built? Right.

You ever have somebody disrupt your little dance floor when you

out there, and I know that I'm the only one went to the club

and you just out there like, and then somebody just disrupt to

spill a drink on you or something and they mess up the

whole song Or you ever dance? You ever pull a cute girl or a

cute guy to the stage just to find out when you got out there

they can't dance. Be like, uh, uh, we going to

take you back. I'm going to take you back over

here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What do you do when the gods you say you trust disrupts the

rhythm you proud you built? What if the disruption you're

avoiding is the deliverance you've been awaiting?

I don't really see too many miracles that didn't require a

disruption. Yeah, I realize you don't make

appointments for miracles. Meet me at 4:00.

I want I want my I need my leg back.

And so meet me at 4:00. And I don't want to do it around

nobody. I don't want nobody at the

church. I want Elder Roseanne.

I don't like Elder John, so I'm going to take So since we got to

have a male, I want elder bred and then and then you got to

play pads. No, no, that demon might need

some some Todd Galbraith, right. That demon might need some

symbols in its ear. I'm not, I'm not making an

appointment to dance with you. Do this thing got to come up.

But you know, I'm saying you get people making appointments for

it and watch this. I get the appointment, watch

this. But but if you don't change the

behavior and if you don't renew your mind, this is a different

doctor's appointment, right? Here's what I do understand.

Is there room in your life for you to hear the Word?

God's Word is His perfect appointment.

And so I don't have no control when His prophets speak.

But it says when you hear the prophets speak, listen.

So what do you do when Ephesians 320 turns into Proverbs 1312?

If you don't know Ephesians 320 is, is, is exceeding abundantly

above all that we could ask, think, or imagine.

Bless Him, but then Proverbs 1312 is is hope deferred makes

the heart sick. What do you do when that promise

it turns the child grew and one day he went out to his father

who was with the reapers. He said to his father, my head,

my head. His father told him told a

servant carry him. I saw this in the back with the

reapers. I didn't see this earlier today.

You're with the reapers. All hell broke loose during

harvest time. But but this goes back, this

goes back to last week. This goes back to last week when

Jesus showed up. It said the evil spirit threw

the little boy down. Here's something, it's harvest

time. And now all of a sudden what was

promised to me is is being attacked.

Our relationship is being attacked during harvest time,

right? Look, I didn't ask to be in

relationship with most of y'all, but God brought us together and

I said I accept. So then when it's harvest time,

you know we dance all the time. Confess if you watch this it

man. Last thing I want to do is you

be my prophetic partner about the harvest coming.

But then we don't reap it together.

Can we at least reap it together?

You can't. Can't we reap it together?

Right. And he says, he says, who was

with the reapers? The sun was with the reapers.

His harvest time. He said to his father, My head,

my head. His father told a servant carry

him to his mother. After the servant had lifted him

up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap

until noon. What the Bible said he was going

to deliver her to her lap. The promise, baby lap.

And then he dies. What, what, what, what?

What happens when the promise dies in the same place it was

delivered? You want to talk about trauma?

You want to talk about confusion when that altar that you got

married at you no longer want to go to together.

She she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God.

This gets so good. Then shut the door on the devil

and went out. I said it again, but I need

y'all to get this imprinted on your head.

She's carrying her dead son. She takes him in the room, lays

him on the bed of the prophet, and she walks away and shuts the

door. You want to talk about?

Wait a minute, wasn't this the same woman's?

Like no, now you see how her faith is activated, right?

And not right now. She got a choice to have a

funeral because she, like I didn't ask for, I didn't ask for

it anyway. She went and laid that thing

down, then shut the door and went out.

Watch this. She did not allow frustration

and disappointment to bury her promise.

She laid it down. Sometimes you just got to lay

stuff down, not bury it. Sometimes you got to shut your

mouth and let God handle it before you bury it.

See, the devil wants you to throw dirt on it when all you

need to do is put a blanket on it for just a little while.

She didn't prepare for a memorial.

She prepared for a miracle. I received that.

Unbelief can say it's over, but your actions can say not today.

Somebody say that with me, not today.

She put the dead thing in the same place the promise was first

spoken. She took it back to the Word.

But I think it's the Scripture. I forget what it says, he said.

How did you start with the Spirit, Galatians?

How did you start with the spirit?

And now you foolish Galatians, you you getting bewitched

because you started with the spirit, but now you in your

flesh. She like no, no, no.

I can get in my flesh. I can get in my fear right now.

I can start cussing folk out. I can I can see prophet why I

told you not to do this to me. I can cuss him out.

I can tell him he a false prophet.

But the whole design is to trust God, not the prophet.

And some of y'all might trust the prophet or your favorite

pastor or your favorite YouTube person or your whatever more

than you trust God, right? So watch this.

She she could have did all that, but she said, you know, I'm

going to take you right back where you was birthed.

Watch this. He was not born in her womb.

He was born the moment the prophet spoke him.

Watch this. So if the word can create it,

the Word can revive it. This is the power of the Word of

God and this is what you cannot forget.

The Word frame the world. So This is why I need to hold on

to what God said, because it's only what God says that if it

dies, it still can be raised back to life.

Watch this. Because there's no death in him.

So if God spoke it, Oh my God, it it, it, it, You can't kill

it. So if it's a dream that God

spoke in your life, it might seem dead, but I promise you it

ain't dead. You cannot kill it.

The devil can't kill your dreams.

Poverty can't kill your plans. Your doubting Mama can't kill

your hopes. I'm telling you, whatever God

has spoken, it shall live. Here it is, here it is.

But sometimes what I realize Danny is oculent because I don't

want to lay it down. Watch this.

This is, this is the blessing and the breaking.

This is the cycle. So, so watch this.

I know you want a husband, but will you be able to lay him

down? If you can't lay your husband

down, you're going to kill him. You might want a wife, but can

you lay her down? You might want kids, but can you

lay your kids down? God never.

Everything God gives you is an offering.

He said, Hey, I'm about to bring you out of Egypt, but and so I

need you to get that gold and I need you to get all that stuff

so you can what? Worship me, right?

He didn't say I want you to get all that gold so you can be a

rapper. Nah, He said, I want you to get

all that gold so you can worship me to see what God you ask?

God give me a family. And then when you get that

family, you idolize it. If you want to see your family

flourish, learn to lay it down. God didn't kill it or the devil.

It was just when the devil tried to take it, you squeeze it to

death. Breathe.

I don't care how crazy the kids is, God didn't give me them

crazy kids. First of all, he didn't give me

crazy kids. They just acting crazy.

But he didn't give me kids so they could steal my peace.

So I'm to a point now my kids can't even steal my peace.

No, I'm not OK for who you want to do it all.

OK bye. Praying for you.

I'm about to watch this. I'm about to put I'm about to

take you right back where you was born.

My wife acting crazy, she acting stupid.

You know, PJ don't act stupid or crazy.

Never ever, ever. She don't act and she PJ is like

an Angel. But watch this If she acting

crazy, I'm about to take you right back to where you was

born. I'm taking you right back to the

altar. See a lot of marriages for they

they, they, they bury, they, they watch this, they bury they

vows and they want a healthy marriage.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Remember them vows that you

wrote and and spoke to God and your husband or your wife right

when your marriage is acting crazy, take y'all both will go

back to the go back to the vows. Yeah, she put she put the dead

thing in the same place. The promise was first spoken.

Faith isn't pretending it didn't die.

It's just decided to lay it where it can live.

That gets me excited every time. Faith isn't pretending.

No, no, no, no, that's dead. Lazarus, you are dead.

You are the deadest. So by the time Jesus comes up

the word, by the time he roll up, they're like, what you here

for, right? The the fish in the, the fish in

the loaves. That miracle could not have been

performed until Jesus told them to sit down, right?

There's something about laying it down that allows the miracle

to be stirred up. So faith isn't pretending it

didn't die, it's just decided to lay it where it can live.

She called her husband and said please send me one of the

servants. And a donkey, right?

She like, in other words, for people who don't like reading

the Bible, like she said, call me a Uber.

OK, she can call me a Uber quickly and I'm going to return.

And her husband says, why go today?

I love her response. He said, why go today?

Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah.

She said that's all right. I I don't even know why I told

you, you see my little, my little green guy right there

That's a thumbs down right? Watch this watch this some of

y'all, some of y'all marry people.

This is another thing that that that that that that can kill

your marriage too is when you sharing divine things with an

unready spouse. Watch this.

You knew they wasn't ready to support your call.

So why are you sharing the call with them in dreams and like,

like they're not ready? Watch this.

Cover them by sifting through what they're ready to hear.

Watch this because you will still have spouses that are

intimidated by your confidence in God.

Don't think your family members ain't jealous of you.

She said That's all right. That's all right.

When the blessing you didn't want or asked for dies.

This is a powerful question. Will you still fight for it to

live? That's the assignment.

What? Right, right.

The the, the, the, the, the what's her name?

What's her name? He told her married a

prostitute. He told her married a pro Gomer,

Gomer Gomer. Look, look, look.

The the the wife for show wasn't the the blessing to him, but in

the prostitute was an assignment.

So although will, will, will, will, will you have less urgency

because it's not what you asked for or wanted?

See, it comes a time where all it is and all of what it's going

to be can't be what I want. It's got to be what He wants

because it's when I'm doing what he wants, He's responsible to

grace me to fulfill it. So can you still fight for it to

live because now the promise or the blessing has become an

assignment? What if something you look at as

you look at as a curse or inconvenience is a God

assignment? What she said to her husband was

it is well when translation says she said it will be all right.

Look at that hubby. I get it.

He concerned my wife about to go out here at night time and and

I'm like why, why he wasn't like I'll go with you.

Why he just like we shouldn't be going.

You shouldn't be going nowhere right now.

She goes here it is. Although her heart was failing,

her tongue was facing. Watch your tongue.

Watch your tongue when you going through the valley.

Although her heart was failing, her tongue was facing.

She was not in denial. She was just declaring and

decreeing under duress. Sometimes your tongue has to

lead your heart back to faith. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is.

Well, did not describe her emotional state.

It declared her delusional faith.

And sometimes you just got to be the only one in the room that

believe in the impossible. Don't let nobody talk you down

from your belief. Come on, man.

We got the same two people just clapped.

Come on. Come on.

Don't let nobody talk you down from your faith.

If. Yeah, I know, right?

I know it's impossible. I just need to make sure it's

not foolish to me. And God, it, it could be foolish

to you, right? When when when I was over there

and I walked in that crazy place, I looked back, I was

delusional. I was like, we're going to be in

here in four months. Somebody say delusional.

Yeah, full money. If you would have saw that place

it took it would have took no way, no way Norber norber

remember when they walked in there the first time and I was

like 4 months. I'm talking about I have swag

about it too. Oh, this would be 4 months.

We going to put them like them thousand lights up there.

We're going to put drywall up there.

We're going to get all the mold out of there.

Yeah, yeah. Four months we'll be in here

love and then I'll come up here and cast fish in the local has

four months. We in here flooded floors go

back look at the video who who going to bring some folks up in

here be like let's praise the Lord watch watch your head watch

your head four months right here's what you got to do.

You cannot give disclaimers for your belief.

You got to get the butts out of your belief.

Give me 5. Give me 5.

We're not going to finish this today, but we finished it this

morning. You can't always trust your

mood, but you can tame your mouth.

Come on. Is that anybody?

I feel like that that hits some people's spirits.

They like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like my mouth be tripping sometime it it'll come up on the

screen in a minute once they get to focus.

Amen Amen. Focus.

There we go, there we go you. You can't always trust your

mood, but you can tame your mouth.

This is why I need people around me that keeps me accountable to

my confession. Be careful when you are

comfortable being in close proximity and intimate with

people who are not aligning their mouths with the word of

God. So she set out.

Look, she, she, she went out, she met the man of God.

She wasn't really giving her she was not giving Elijah homeboy

the time of day. He was the disciple in the way

and he he ran up to her because he saw her coming towards

Elijah. And he's like, everything OK?

He was like, he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, everything OK.

And it wasn't Elijah saw something different.

He saw she was greatly distressed.

But he had said the Lord hid it from him.

What was wrong? Sometimes you come on Sundays

and you, you don't get that word that hits your problem.

But it does not mean God wasn't speaking.

Sometime God is not revealing your problem in the sanctuary

because God wants to you to find Him in the secret place.

God wants you to pursue him, not pursue a word from somebody, but

pursue him to get a word directly.

Look, I have went for some years now without some spiritual

covering. We have we, we have

accountability, all that stuff. But hear me out.

I remember when I was anxious and I was like, I was, I have, I

have been in meetings with Foursquare, I've been in

meetings with the Ark, I've been in meetings with Pentecostal

Assembly of Canada. I've been in meetings with all

the alders, all the little church planning networks because

I'm like, I don't want to do this by myself.

I'm tired. I ain't, I ain't no, no, no.

And then I remember the Lord said, OK, you could keep on

carrying it or you could lay it down.

Because what I am trying to burst in you requires you to

walk with me, know my voice, know my patterns for you, and I

have some blueprints to deliver to you.

And if you cling to another playbook, you are going to turn

Love Quest into something I've never designed it to be.

So there will sometime come a season where you have to learn

how to walk with God. And it's lonely.

He's trying to reveal Himself to you, so when you show up to

Goliath, it is no doubt that God can, because He already did.

In His presence. You can push past the barriers

of your pain. Rafa can carry your pain, but

not if you want to coddle your pain.

Faith is faith, so facades crumble in the face of

heartache. I know we buddy, buddy, buddy,

buddy, buddy. But let some pressure come.

We going to see who buddies, Let some conflict come.

We going to see who buddies and we see the end.

Did I ask for a son? He sends off his servant.

He says lay my staff on on the boy's face.

Watch this. And he comes back and he says

the staff didn't work. He's still dead, plain and

simple. I don't have time to read it

all. He's still dead, OK?

He's still dead. Unresponsive.

OK. He laid the staff on the boy's

face. Watch this.

The staff represented symbolic authority.

It didn't work. Elisha's a shadow and type.

This miracle required presence. Watch this.

This miracle required presence. Not a cloth.

Watch this. You ain't no more of a prayer, a

prayer warrior because you got you a prayer Shaw, right?

You know the people who got all the symbols when you walk into

the house, they got everything, got prayer shawls, and they got

the little what you call a shofars.

They got you ain't blue that shofar you, you got all the

stuff, but you don't have no prayer life.

But you got the symbols of a prayer life.

Watch this. God is you better catch it when

God is moving you. There's some things that worked

last season will not work this season.

OK, so when Elijah went in, he shut the door and it was just

him. Ain't this crazy?

Ain't this crazy? Get the picture?

Elijah is in the room where that little boy was.

Just a word. Elijah the prophet is sitting in

the room where that boy was. Just a word.

Now the blessing is dead. I know God, you told me he was

coming not to, just for me to hold him dead.

Here's the big test right here. Are you about to bury the

promise? Are you going to let the

presence of God over shadow it? He stretches his body over him,

and the boy comes back to life. One way of looking at it is, if

I'd never had a son, or if I'd never had this situation, I

wouldn't have ever had this problem.

Sure, I example that we are. If I never had this build, I

wouldn't be sitting here. But but if I never had this

building, I don't know where I'll be over the last four

years. I don't know where my maturity

would be. I don't know if I would have

would have, would have gotten to know the Lord.

But when I got a word, I always take it back to the word.

So when delays come, I take it back to the word.

If I never had the Son or the assignment, I wouldn't have ever

known the Father the way I do. The problem that I tried to

avoid led me to the promise that filled my voids.

Faith isn't the absence of unbelief here.

It is what I feel sometimes without even knowing.

Some of us think that we're going to arrive somewhere one

day where all of our needs are met and we don't have to believe

no more. Believing is work, right?

When you go to work, you're believing because you have some

goals. So you think one day when you

get financially free and you get your your family and you get all

these things, I don't have to believe no more.

Faith isn't the absence of unbelief.

It's the presence of a decisive dedication to move on God's word

despite unbelief. You can cry for somebody in

here. You can cry and kick on the way

to your miracle, but don't stop believing.

Come on, don't stop believing. God is trying to take you from

reliance to reverence to relationship.

Write this down. It's not up here.

The goal is to go from hearing the Word to having the word

abide. John 15.

The only way the word can abide is I have to experience the

word. God will always restore seeds

key births. I'll end with this.

Unbelief may write a few chapters of your life, but God

has penned the end of the story. Man, now that hit my holy that

hit my holiest ghost, come on, lift your hands right where you

are unbelief Now we full circle. We going back to what God has

brought us out of you. Some of y'all can believe this

right now. There are so many chapters

written in my life that unbelief has written but man but God has

pinned the end of the story. Watch this, Unbelief pinned your

destruction but God has pinned your resurrection.

Am I talking to anybody? We done, we done, we done.

Can we rejoice that unbelief does not have the last word?

Come on, Unbelief does not have the last word.

God has the last word. So today we choose to believe

you God. Today we choose to believe that

for it is written we shall prosper.

It is written that we are more than conquerors.

It is written that we are overcomers.

It is written that you shall provide all of our needs

according to your riches and glory.

It is written. And today we choose to believe

you. Come on, make a choice today.

Make a choice. Can we end this with you making

a choice and a declaration? Unbelief does not have the final

say. Not over my family.

Not over my city, not over my relationships.

Fear does not have the last say. Fear does not have the last say.

Come on, Faith is writing a different story.

Faith is writing a different ending.

Come on, Fear does not have the last say.

I'm, I, I want to speak right now.

I want to speak right now to some areas that have been dead

in your life for too long and they're starting to rise back or

they're starting to come back to life for some of you.

God bless you with something and you kind of just lost your way.

You, you, you, you lost your way.

You, you, you stopped caring about certain things.

You stop caring about your goals.

This happens to moms a lot. You stop caring about you.

And everything came. It became about that, that,

that, that that kid or those kids.

And I'm telling you, that might be the world's way, but it

ain't. God has not blessed you with

that beautiful family, right? Watch this the moment your kids

were born, let the modeling begin, right?

That child needs to see how Mama and daddy, what it looks like to

follow Jesus, not just read the Bible, follow Jesus.

So I want to speak to and we can all speak to these areas that's

dry in our lives. See, see, this kind of thinking

prevents you from being content when I'm just a worship leader.

No, no, no, there's other areas. There's more to you than a

microphone. There's more to me than a

preacher. There's more to to you than a

teacher. There's more to you than mom

than dad. There's more to you.

And I just want you to stop being afraid.

I'm not asking you to do everything today, but what I am

saying is make room for God to resurrect some things you have

laid down, some stuff you have given up on.

Maybe I'm just going to do this one business.

I know I dreamed I had plans for two, but I'm going to do this

one because I don't got no time. God didn't ask you to birth the

second business. He did ask you to steward it.

And sometimes stewardship is keeping the vision of the thing

in front of you. Watch this because you wrote it

down one day, but because you buried it, he couldn't evolve.

The vision this church went before was Love Quest period.

What an international church it was.

Get your love fix man with 1A. Now it's 3.

Then it's become love quest international church.

The vision evolves. Watch this.

The vision evolves. That's why it tarries.

Right. The baby is now in the belly,

but he's still got some trimesters to go.

I'm here to tell you that you pregnant with a vision, watch

this. Even what you aborted, God is

ready to resurrect. Watch this.

That dream was never supposed to end by way of abortion.

It was supposed to end by way of being passed on to the next

generation. What God births.

The end date is when Jesus returned.

You decide if it's foolishness or not.

But there's some things. I'm talking to a few people in

here right now. You're like, this is too big

now. I'm not talking to the people

that's watch this, not afraid to do a lot.

God might be telling you to lay some stuff down in this season

because you do too much. I'm talking right now to the

people you're afraid of bigger. You're afraid of more bigger.

Is not Roger's Arena bigger is the size of your faith?

Because there comes a day where your faith gets so big.

What was big to you 10 years ago ain't even big no more.

Yeah, ask the owner of Rogers Arena.

He probably believed in or she probably believed in for

something crazier. Because now my faith have

obtained Rogers, even the world thinks this way.

There's my faith then naturally has room to think bigger.

So it's not always greed that someone goes from $5,000,000 to

1 billion. But when that void that your

faith created is now filled, watch this.

Then watch this faith to faith, glory to glory.

This is not about mammon, this is about God.

I pray that from this day forward you do not get weary in

the well doing of believing in that until you go to your grave,

you will allow God to continue to reveal different facets of

His self in your life. If you've been blessed today at

all, give God some praise. Please come on, give Him some

praise. Thank you so much for tuning
