Help My Unbelief - Dynasty Wednesday 10.29.25 (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.

Can I, Can I got any people here that believe on Wednesday Jesus

is still Jesus? Although it's Wednesday, Jesus

is still Jesus. I think Jesus is better on

Wednesday than he is on Sunday. I don't know about you, but I am

not going to come here acting like it's a midweek experience.

I need something fresh tonight. Amen.

So let's hop back into help my unbelief.

I've just been getting some testimonies and people have been

blessed by it. I know I've been blessed by it.

And so may we continue to be blessed by this topic.

What do you mean if I can, Peter, please?

Thank you. What do you mean if I can?

Jesus asked. Anything is possible if a person

what believes anything is possible If a person what?

So the impossible realm is broken into in the life of a

person that the father instantly cried out.

I do believe but help me. Overcome my Y'all going to help

me out tonight because just because I need y'all, I don't

need to tell you why I need y'all to help me.

I'll just need y'all to help me. I'll stay locked in.

Stay locked in, I do believe. But help me overcome my

unbelief. Somebody shout out, I do

believe. But help me overcome my

unbelief, somebody shout out, I do believe.

But help me overcome my unbelief.

One more time, shout out, I do believe, but help me overcome my

unbelief. Another translation says I

believe constantly. Help my weakness of faith,

right? Faith can be measured.

There's strong faith, there's shipwreck faith, there's weak

faith. If I have weakness of faith,

that just mean it ain't as strong as it could be.

But I still got what this is really good because this is a

prayer. And as we learned last week is

we have to begin to admit where we believe, but also admit where

we don't believe thinking because we believe.

That covers every area of where we need to believe.

Not at all. As I explained last week,

there's the areas I believe and there's areas what I don't

believe. Can you identify in your life

where your belief is stronger almost like without even having

to pray, you believe you know them areas where you like, OK

Lord I go, but OK, Hallelujah. You got to do all of that before

you obey. And then there's areas you just

do stuff you don't even think about it like sit in that chair.

It's taking 1000 but sitting in it and you don't know if you

going to be the 1:00 tonight to break that screw but you just

sat down without even thinking about it.

You drove here today. Probably most of you did not say

a prayer before you got in transportation.

You started your car boom drive, came here or hopped on the bus,

showed you bus pass, didn't ask for a background check on who

driving. You don't even know if that bus

just was hijacked. You just hopped on.

You got to ride with a friend. You don't know if they license

is still good, right? You order food, you order your

food and you just eat it because it looked good, smell good.

But you don't know, right? There's that belief.

You got that, that it, you ain't got to ask me nothing.

I just believe you ain't got to ask me.

I will be in the air for 15 hours to go on vacation because

I want badly to see blue water and I want that sun to hit my

face. So I'm going to go in the air

for 15 hours, sometimes 17 hours.

I'll even go up for 10, come down, fly FOMO.

You're not doing no background check.

You don't know about the pilot, you don't know about the flight

attendants, you don't know who's sitting in front of you or

behind you. You just get on and believe.

Let me tell you something. It takes belief, It takes faith.

An airplane defies gravity. So you are trusting somebody's

brilliance, and then sometime it comes like, I could fly this

plane, but I'm freaking out. I don't know how I'm gonna pay

this bill. What?

And watch this. It's more likely to die in a car

accident than it is the airplane.

But you get in the car every day.

But you worried about blank how this going to happen.

I wonder if they we didn't even talk about how you your life is

over when somebody don't like you, like you don't believe

somebody else can like you. Like that was the last person to

like you. You lose your job, even if it

was your fault that that's not the last job.

But but but you get that airplane.

That could be your last time that that that you get in that

car on your way home tonight. You, you amazing driver, but not

everybody around you, He says. I do believe I'm spending time

here because we just have this blanket faith, not understanding

that faith is intentional. Faith is the substance.

It means that my faith has a seat somewhere.

Is this Wednesday or is this Sunday?

Which one? Which one?

My my faith has a seat somewhere.

My my faith has a purpose somewhere.

My faith is not aimless. If it's not aimed, it's not

faith. Am I helping the worship team?

Am I helping anybody on this side?

Amen. Halloween.

If it's not aimed, it's not faith.

And so I have to understand that that I can't just have Uzi faith

and then just be like God just take, just bless something.

No, no, no, no, I need I need I need the song say Jesus for my

family aimed Jesus in the streets and Jesus over my body

aimed Jesus for this type of job.

I look to get any job. I just need to aim my faith at a

job. I'm just not going just just

just wheel a fortune career. No, I want to do this and I'm

not changing what's in my spirit, but I'll take 10 jobs

that don't got nothing to do with the one because my faith is

still aimed even though I haven't landed where and so many

times we think we in faith because we we, we don't we, we

ain't going to do nothing else until that show up.

That's foolishness, not faith. So I do believe.

Come on, say I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief.

Where, where, where do you struggle believing God, right?

There's areas you believe you more.

Do you believe God? That right, there's areas you

believe your man or your woman more.

Do you believe God? There's areas you believe the

pastor more than you believe God.

There's there's areas you believe your kids more.

Do you believe God? You know what I mean?

Like you, you did. Where we must do this, we must

do this. We must identify where we lack

belief and then lay it on the altar and begin to work on that

area of belief. How do I work on that area of

belief #1 I need the word that speaks to that area.

OK #2 I need some. I need some faith partners that

have went through where I'm trying to grow my faith in.

So I can't just read the word. I need testimonies.

As you learned last week, you need to have partners for

certain seasons. Watch this my partners that are

for this season trump my relationships that I've had for

a lifetime because to keep it real, if we've been friends all

our life, you shouldn't be tripping because I have found a

faith friend for this season. Aw, man, man, man, I, I, if I'm

believing for healing in this season, I, I need, I need to

cling to a friend that that have been through sickness before and

they've come out on the other side.

I need to spend more time with them than somebody who ain't

been through nothing or a friend that's just going to tell me to

do what my flesh want to do. Come on.

So, so, so you got to understand, I need to identify

where I lack faith or belief. So now I can have target

practice. I can be intentional in that

area. God's not about to just make me

believe. He will present opportunities

for me to believe that. Watch this.

If you're a Christian and you're bored, start working on your

belief. You can't be in faith and bored.

You ready? I got I got to go somewhere God

I believe but there's some areas I'm just a mess and don't

believe. I don't got it all together and

I am tired of acting like I do. Come on, can you get to that

place God I believe? Yes I do but there's some areas

I'm just a mess. My belief is weak and don't

believe I don't got it all together.

And I am tired of acting like I do.

Yeah, you watch this. You, you, you, you.

You attract and watch this. You also attract.

Who you acting like you are right.

You got you. No, no, no, no.

I need some friends because you found out that I'm struggling

with something and you're not trying to prey on me.

You actually my lack of belief in the area.

It it makes you excited because all you want to do is pour.

I I forgot. You got to go back and listen to

to it. It it makes you excited, right?

There's a lot of people because you acting like like you got

this facade like you strong. So all you can attract is weak

people because they need your strength that you say that you

got. But then you complaining about

how many people draining you. But why you acting like you

fool? I meant you go listen, Disney be

recorded. He can.

OK. OK.

All right, let me move on. Let me move on.

The key to growing my faith or my belief is to recognize that

my faith is imperfect, fragile and incomplete.

Remember this last week. If you remember something just

when I read it, just say Amen. All right, all right, 'cause I

'cause I'm, I'm getting some, some, somewhere, some new stuff,

OK, The key to growing my faith, OK, You already said Amen.

You already said Amen. All right, Just because my faith

is weak, watch this does not give me a license to be

emotionally irresponsible. Can I help somebody?

You nobody, nobody saw this last week.

This was new. New right here, right?

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

emotionally irresponsible. Watch this.

My faith actually needs self-discipline.

All right, we got in town. You take this nugget and you go

go do some homework. Promise you the Holy Spirit, if

you really dig in and you ask the Holy Spirit, OK, help me.

Help me unlock this for me. He will.

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

emotionally responsible. See, This is why we need to be

intentional. We can't loop.

We can't have a see. See Paul, the only reason he was

able to say I fought the good fight is because he fought.

He fought. He did.

He didn't wait for God to come through.

He fought while waiting. He he, he prays while waiting,

he prayed while waiting, he sold while waiting.

He won souls while waiting. He discipled while waiting, he

wrote letters while waiting. He was in prison.

And what was you? What what you got?

What do you do in prison? Wait.

Watch. This.

Lord. Come on, let's say this

together, Lord, let's say it together.

Help me believe in every area. Be not weary in the well doing.

Remember that. Let's read that together.

Let's read that together. Let's read that together one

more time, 123. Say I make a choice tonight to

believe, right? You.

You can, you can, you can, OK, right.

I can tell you I have green socks on under here, right?

Green socks, right? Some of y'all look in you

because you don't believe me or you just trying to you know,

like is he telling the truth or are you just curious?

Or I can tell you I got green socks on under here.

Few things can happen. You could want me to show you so

you want evidence or you can make up in your mind.

I believe them, right? You don't need faith to to know

I got green socks on. You just make a choice.

I believe not and watch this. You're not believing I got green

socks on, you're believing I'm telling the truth.

Right, too many times you want to know if I got green socks on,

but the test you're going through right now in your life,

do you just believe God or you you only believe him if he show

you, right? What you don't understand is God

sometimes can't show you the finished product because he's

working together while you going.

There's some stuff that he's doing like the end result can be

I am healed, but you might not see the fullness of your healing

until you get there. But every step you take of

faith, you're getting better, right?

And we get paralyzed because I don't see green socks.

So until you show me, I don't know if you got green socks on,

right, right. So then now you feel better,

right? Now if I told you on my right

side, I got a green sock on because I like fashion.

So I do mismatch. Watch this now you doubt instead

of just believing me. You are going off of the past

evidence and so you can't believe because the last time

you tried to believe it wasn't what you thought it was going to

be. Y'all tracking how many remember

this? There will always be the cycle

of blessing and breaking, blessing and breaking, thorns

and triumphs in the ministry of perfecting sons and daughters.

Watch this. Blessing and breaking, right?

I might take you to one season and I spoke to you one way.

I might have gave you a parable one way.

I might have said green sock, and I might have took you

through that little story. But then in the next season, I'm

building your belief a different way.

Keep it going, Keep it going. Freedom, deliverance, revival is

not often the immediate result of the presence of Jesus.

Remember that last week, right? Freedom and deliverance and

revival. This is when we when This is

where the help my unbelief. Came from.

Right when the Bible said when Jesus showed up, the evil spirit

did what? I just need a few people threw

him on the ground. In other words, when Jesus

showed up, chaos broke out. Come on.

When Jesus showed up one more time.

When Jesus showed up. See, this is very important

because you think Jesus showed up 'cause you just got promotion

at work. Yeah, like the devil know how to

do do that. You daughter, you worked for

that promotion. Right.

But it's like, in other words, we always need to label it

instead of like, no, Jesus was in the fire, He was in the

furnace, He was in the lion's den.

He had to be in the Red Sea because how else would it be

dry? And you name all these miracles

that look crazy. He was in The Dirty water.

How else would he name and got healed?

But we think that when Jesus shows up, there should be that

the evidence is there's no more evil or there's no more hard

times and there's no more sorrow.

And if there's any of that, then we're constantly calling Jesus

watch this instead of communing with Jesus because it don't feel

right to commune through chaos. So somehow you got it in your

mind that chaos means Jesus is absent.

And maybe, maybe the fact, maybe he didn't let it get too chaotic

until he showed up 'cause you wouldn't have made it.

So now maybe the sign is all hell is breaking loose.

Folks are walking out on you because revival has really

landed. Two years ago, you maybe

couldn't have handled that. Yeah, yeah, I just wrote down

there you're gonna have to wait on the on on this one.

You're gonna have to wait on this one.

You're gonna have to wait on this one.

Y'all ready? Can can we get in?

Can we get into something of just a little bit new real

quick? Come on, somebody say help my

unbelief. Look at your neighbors, Say you

need help. You need help.

No matter what, come on, look at somebody else.

Say nobody there what you say you you actually really need

help. Look at somebody else and say,

say, I know you need help. Watch this.

Look, look at, look at somebody else and say, I'm not.

Say I know you need help because I can tell by the way you walk.

I know, I know you need help because I can tell by the way

you walk. I can tell by the way you walk.

All right, all right, so I need, I need your help on this.

We're going to go somewhere and we need to work.

We need to. Work something real quick.

Let's do it. Then one of them said.

I will surely return to you about this time next year.

These three men show up. Abraham is Abraham is sitting by

his tent. It's hot.

He's sitting, He's sitting. Full of promise from the Lord,

Genesis 18 picks up. I will surely return to you

about this time next year. And Sarah, your wife will have a

son. Somebody say surely and somebody

say will watch this. I'm going to read it one more

time. One of them.

Said, 'cause he he running around trying to serve him.

He's like, make some cake. I need you to bake this.

I need you to get some bread. We got to serve him watch this

he's and then they they release a word to him.

I will surely return to you about this time next year and

Sarah your wife, Sarah your wife, Sarah your wife will have

a son this. Is why relationships are so

important. God can give you a word that's

meant for somebody else to deliver.

That's why relationships are so important.

You can get through the partner that birth the promise God gave

you or abort the promise God gave you.

Can I talk to somebody tonight? Sarah, your wife will have a

son, Abraham and Sarah. Abraham and Sarah were already

very old, say very old, right? When the Bible say you're very

old, guess what? You are very old and Sarah was

past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself.

Sarah laughed to what herself one more time?

Sarah laughed to her what self, as she thought, After I am worn

out and my Lord is old, she talking about her husband, will

I now have this pleasure watch her?

She hears the word outside the tent.

She chuckles inside her tent herself.

She chuckles inside. She's now old.

Somebody say help my silly doubt.

You, you know, you see, see here's here's you can check.

These areas where? God says some or or he says

something audible, which he rarely talks that way to

especially a mature believer, He preaches a word.

And you listening to the word on Sunday and other folks is like,

I receive it. And you just sitting in your

inside you just chuckling. He's like, Nah, that can't, that

can't be me. Because you've considered how

old you are. You've considered how young you

are. You've considered how many

mistakes you've made. You've considered all these

things. You, you.

You're considering you more than you considering God.

Or we could say laugh now, shout later.

Somebody say laugh now, shout later.

Doubt. Watch this.

Doubt can often come before destiny.

Watch this. Doubt is often the catalyst for

destiny. Crazy.

I know when he told me I was like right?

It is when my doubt is exposed, the faith necessary is realized.

See, see you want God just break you through.

But what if he just is trying to put something in your life

that's going to expose your doubt?

Maybe that's people that got great faith that's around you

and they doing too much and you like y'all believe too big and

y'all believe. What if he put big faith around

you to expose your little faith, right?

Because you, you, you don't. You hype over to destiny.

But, but, but I find that sometimes it is when I realized

that I realized my insufficiencies before I

realized his sufficiency. Sarah laughed in the face of

promise. Sarah laughed in the face of

promise. I've been there, I've been

there. Watch this.

What you laugh at in disbelief, God, can turn into laughter of

delight. Can I say that again?

Are y'all with me today? What you laugh at in disbelief,

God Noel can turn into laughter of delight.

Sarah's laugh watch. This was not comedy.

It was conflict between what she saw and what she heard.

Man, I came here with a Sunday preaching me.

Come on, come on. If it's Sarah's laugh was not

from comedy, It wasn't like, oh God's funny.

No, no, no, no, no, no, she wasn't laughing.

It was conflict within because God just impregnated her with a

word that she didn't have capacity to receive.

So she immediately this is what the word will do.

A word spoken from God will immediately put your soul in

conflict or your spirit in disbelief because God will send

you a word when you not even ready to walk it out.

That's where a lot of our frustration come from because

some of y'all sitting here because God told you something

years ago and you're like why ain't there yet?

Sarah's laugh wasn't comedy, it was conflict between what she

saw and what she heard, what she saw and what she heard.

Watch this. She let out a laugh in the tent,

but God heard a cry from her. Tired.

Unbelief often hides behind logic.

She let out a laugh in the tent. OK, God, God, OK, but God heard

a cry from her, tired. This is this is interesting

because this story and the last story we read last Wednesday,

they have so many similarities. He said help my unbelief and you

automatically would think that story says he don't have no

faith. So then why did God bless him?

So why did God bless him so if he was truly in doubt, he said I

got belief even after your boys did not come through.

I'm still pursuing you. So God took his faith and now we

see her right here and God says there's something about her

laugh. Watch this.

She laughed. She didn't complain.

Be careful what comes out of your mouth, even if you have

doubt within. Well, I said, she could have

gave her breath to a complaint, but she gave her breath to a

laugh. All.

Right, all right, all right. God's promise at no time is as

fragile as our faith. God's promise that no time is as

fragile as our faith. Watch this.

Sarah wasn't tripping. Sarah wasn't crazy.

Sarah wasn't even doubting God. As much as she was tired and

didn't believe she could do it, she doubted her body's ability

to perform and produce under the circumstances.

Watch this. God knew how old she was so so

so this is where you should get excited about when you when you

when it is impossible and don't make sense and God still gives

you the word about it that in these last days.

That's the kind of faith we gonna need is is when God like

we got to believe the word that is of the impossible.

Stop trying to make God talk on the practical possible level.

No, God needs you to need him got to move you all the way

somewhere where you don't have no resources.

You don't know nobody but need. Millions of dollars to do what

he said. Hallelujah.

She she doubted her body's ability.

She doubted her body's ability. She doubted her body's ability.

What's crazy is most of us in here, when God gives us a word,

the 1st place we look is at us. We don't look at the one who

gave us the word. Maturity said God, if you gave

me the word, you, you, you more responsible to see it come to

pass than I am. I I got a yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got a part to play, but my part ain't as big as yours.

Come on, get y'all hear what I just said.

I got a part to play, but my part is nowhere near as big as

God's. God is calling me into the Red

Sea. That's his part.

I can't split no sea. I can't dry the ground.

Can you? Can you imagine trying to move

the water and dry the ground with a vacuum cleaner or a

lighter or a torch or something? No, no, no, no.

God's job is way bigger than mines.

So let me stop acting like I got God's job.

God's promise that no time is fragile as our faith.

We step in this story at a point where fatigue has gut punched

her faith and she says, yeah, right, it was that.

Yeah, right laugh. Here he go again.

Her laugh says I don't know if I can get my belief up for another

round of disappointment. Is she is she really doubting

God? Or is she, is her faith tired?

She like I'm, I'm, I'm kind of on my way like I'm 90.

I'm, I'm, I'm old now. OK, I was I was barren, but at

least now it it I I can live with the fact that I can't have

a baby because I'm old. But now you about to come get me

when I didn't settle that I ain't going to have no baby.

I didn't settle that I'm not going to do that career.

I'm I'm good. I have laid it at the altar.

Now you about to ask me to to keep.

Going now, her laugh says. I don't know if I can get my

belief up for another round of disappointment.

Genesis 18 for some context. Then the Lord said to Abraham

Abraham why did Sarah laugh? I love this conversation.

Why did Sarah laugh and say will I really have a child member if

I can heal You remember the last story if I.

Can heal you, she said. What?

Will I really have a child now that I am old?

Why? Why she laugh is anything too

hard for the Lord and it just sounds like God because this is

way back then. And then we go way forward and

we read in this story that this Father is having with Jesus this

the impossible same conversation is anything too hard for the

Lord? I will return to you at the

appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.

Chica BA, Somebody say he said it, he'll do it.

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Is it? Why did you laugh?

Laura? What?

Why did you laugh, EJ, Why did you laugh?

Elder Brett, why did you laugh? Noel Joyce Why'd you laugh?

Check Why you laugh? Do you really?

Are you? Do you?

Do you believe? Are you tired?

Did you just did you laugh? Was your laugh a sound of

cancelling yourself out? Was your laughing, insecure

laugh more than it was a doubt? Were you doubting you or were

you doubting God's ability? Why did Sarah laugh?

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

OK, well since I'm God, I'm not going to argue with you about it

or convince you I'll be back next year.

I'll let you wrestle with your unbelief.

But. But notice this, He hasn't

changed his mind. God doesn't change his word

because you forgot about it. He's the same yesterday, today

and forevermore. So you might not hear clear from

him for 20 years, but when he returned, guess what he going to

do, Say the same thing. Sarah was afraid watch this.

So she lied and said I did not laugh, I can hear her right now.

I did laugh. God did not laugh, but he said

yes, you did watch this. Yes, you did.

God, I I didn't. I didn't doubt you.

Yes, you did. Watch the pot.

Watch the watch the pot. See here.

Here it is. Here's the nature.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Adam.

Where? Where are you?

Like God didn't know where he was.

Hey, I didn't laugh. Like God didn't know you

laughed. Watch this.

I love him because he judges the heart.

Why you lying? He's not seeing you lying.

He's seeing you afraid. But he said, yeah, he did laugh.

So here's here's another way. God, God, God heard her laugh.

And her laugh became the seed that restored her faith.

All right. All right, all.

Right, I received that. Her laugh became the seed.

Somebody say seed that restored her faith.

See, she was trying to take her seed back.

She said I didn't laugh. No, no, no.

God said no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't take that laugh back. I'm about to use that watch This

all doubt ain't bad doubt. I'm telling you all doubt ain't

bad doubt. If you can come to the Lord and

say, yeah, I, I have trouble believing all questions ain't

bad questions. And she's laughing.

And God, God is saying, look, I, this is the way I hear my

father's voice. Yes, you did laugh.

No, no, no, I actually need you to laugh.

I need you to, I need, I need you to remember this moment

because I specialize in revealing who I am.

I don't need you to try and work another deal where you don't

have to believe the supernatural.

I don't need you to talk me out of the supernatural and down to

the natural where you can be in control and I don't.

I don't need you to get in another situation.

Can you lay that impossible situation on the altar for me?

Or like her laugh, you're going to say, Nah, God, you don't need

to bless that. You don't need to bless that.

I'll just get a new one. I get a new relationship.

I get. He's like, no, no, no, no.

I want you to look at this and I want you.

Yep. Yep, it's over.

The only way that's going to work is if you let me fully have

it. Watch this.

And some people rather start over or destroy something before

they let God fully have it. Sarah wasn't mocking God, she

was managing disappointment. Am I talking to anybody on

Wednesday night? I just want to talk to some

people spirit tonight. I don't want to talk to people

head and I'm done, OK? You know, I promise you all your

intellectual is you're not going to get a diploma.

We're not having a graduation after this series, OK?

So you don't have to, you know, write down the notes.

Let the Lord speak to your spirit.

Sarah wasn't mocking God, she was managing disappointment.

She was managing disappointment. Mary wasn't mocking God, she

wasn't questioning in doubt, she was managing the impossible.

She said God this don't make no sense how I'm going to have a

kid right? Know the difference Because the

devil or your immaturity, don't forget perfecting the devil or

your immaturity will make you think because you have a little

doubt rise. Watch this doubt rising.

Is not doubt acted upon. See the mature know what to do

with doubt that rises after years of waiting.

Her faith had scars. Let's read this in context.

She's very old. She has a right to laugh.

Can I talk to you right? There's some situations that you

were born into and God is talking he about to turn it

around. You got a right to laugh because

ain't nobody in my bloodline ever did what God has meant.

Come on, somebody. You got a right to laugh because

the circumstances that he birthed you in don't match what

he's saying. He's pulling you out too.

So you got a right to laugh. You got a right to think of

doubt. You got a right to be

frustrated. But don't allow your doubt to

turn into condemnation, right Married allowed her questioning

to turn into conviction. Sarah, Sarah Sarah Sarah was

Sarah was managing disappointment.

You ever pray so long that the silence sounded like the answer

and the weight felt like the purpose?

He's not exposing her to shame, but He's restoring her to faith.

The silence sounded like an answer.

It was. I've went so long without

clarity that whatever I'm left with, it starts sounding like

God. You start talking to yourself.

And I'm going to get into this on Sunday about auditory

disability or fatigue. That's an engineering phrase

that when you've heard music or sound for so long, you stop

hearing. Watch this.

It's not. You stopped listening, you

stopped hearing and you like, God, how did I miss you?

I've been listening. You stopped hearing, right.

It's times I come home from a show.

I had earplugs in all night and I get in the room and my wife

right next to me and she's saying my name.

I'm like, huh, right. But but but you, your, your

sensors sensories and I'm going to go into the signs of it.

You're going to be blown away that a lot of your issues if you

stop hearing and here's the attack.

I'm giving you so much to listen to that you can't hear the word

that's custom for you, 'cause you listening to everybody's

opinions. You own every church's IG page,

you own every inspirational speech, everybody.

So now you, you have this, it's, it's gunshot.

So what? Amen.

There's fireworks, but the way people look in this is like fuck

OK put 2 minutes. Back on the on the clock for me

because they wait. They distracted me because they

thought it was I thought I was going.

You know what I'm saying? Y'all tripping?

Yeah. If it was fireworks, why you

didn't like just celebrate or something?

Why you looking scared? See, see, I'm responding from

those noises based on what God said this community going to be,

not what rumor said it was, right?

So I can renew my mind before it stopped looking and sounding

like that, right? You keep saying so I'm like,

why? Why would anybody be shooting?

This is an expensive neighborhood to live in.

Nobody. Why is anybody shooting?

This is not the ghetto, right? See, you're waiting for change

to arrive in order to respond to the promise.

Hallelujah. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Come on. Come on back.

You. You.

Yeah, Yeah. Keep it going.

Keep it going. Delay is not denial, it's divine

preparation. Delay is not denial, it's divine

preparation. God often will.

Wow. Watch this.

God often will wait until all natural possibility is gone so

that he alone can get the glory. You you.

You want to know why it's taking so long?

Because you still in the way, you still got control, you still

got the friend that can help you.

Why they hurting you? You didn't.

You don't believe the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds

no sorrow. You just make us rich.

That's the only you stop reading after Make us rich.

Sarah's womb was dead. Lazarus death was destroying.

But both became a stage for the resurrection power of Jesus.

Sarah's womb was dead and it became a platform for life.

Lazarus death was destroying, but both became a stage for the

resurrection power of Jesus. Delay is not denial, it's divine

preparation. God's goal is that you get there

and keep going. Faith to faith, glory to glory,

not faith to oops, Yeah, it is. Watch this.

No time left on your clock. It's start time on God's clock.

No time left on your clock is start time on God's clock.

Watch this. Best thing you can do is wait in

faith and let the clock run out. Let the clock run out.

Let the clock run out. Your belief must outlast the

torment of your delay. Your belief must outlast the

torment of delay. Run and not get weary.

Watch it when you can't trace his hand.

Trust his heart. Come on.

Now. Now, now.

Wait a minute. I read you from verse 18

chapter. What was the 18 now?

What happened between him promising Sarah, I promise.

Watch this now. The Lord was gracious to Sarah

as he has said, and the Lord did for Sarah.

Watch this. What he had promised.

The Lord did what he had promised.

Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age at

the very time God had promised him watch this.

Abraham gave the name Isaac to son.

Sarah bore him when his son Isaac was 8 days old.

Abraham circumcised. Him as God commanded him.

Abraham was 100 years. Old when his son Isaac was born

to him, Sarah said God has brought me laughter and everyone

who hears about this will laugh with me.

I take I take that I don't do I need to preach that or you can

read that and get excited that that what I laughed at was a

seed for somebody else's laugh. The Bible does say that laughter

is medicine to the soul. So my breakthrough and God's

promise coming to coming to the fullness in my life is going to

bring healing to somebody else's life.

Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.

Say laugh with me. What's this?

God redeems the sound of your unbelief.

He say weeping man, do it for a night, but joy comes in the

morning, right? God redeems the sound of your

unbelief. If you could just trust God and

let God do what He promised He will do.

He has not changed his mind because you lost yours.

God has not changed his mind because you lost yours.

He is still going to do what He said He will do.

God will ride the sound waves of your unbelief in order to create

a tsunami of unstoppable faith. God redeems the sound of your

unbelief. God can turn your sarcasm into

celebration. Won't he do it?

Watch he do it. Won't he do it?

Watch he do it. You just was you just was

passive with the promise. You was like yeah, right.

PT you keep on saying Elder John yeah, right.

You know Laura yeah, right. You keep on saying that God

gonna do this and God gonna do that Cloud gonna live.

Revival is landing. Yeah, right.

OK, whatever you notice you, you notice God can give you a

promise you'd be crazy enough to believe them.

And then you can celebrate like revival really landed and then

get some humble pie and be like, wait a minute, the revival I'm

pregnant with. Watch this because you're

faithful over the word you would just start calling any move the

revival he promised you are are you mature enough to be like

that's not it. I'm thankful that that person

got healed today. But when God first gave me that

word, the revival wasn't just that person or that Sunday or

that went the revival that God put in my belly.

It it changed culture. There was no financial need

there, there right there. There was people coming every

there was lines. Y'all remember lines around

Strathcona? And then we moved and I'm like,

OK God, I know you showed me lines Who's going to be wrapped

around Strathcona. But because I moved from

Strathcona didn't mean that the lines that he promised me moved.

See, you got to be faithful. I believe lines going to be

wrapped around this corner one day.

And if we move before the lines get wrapped around this corner,

wherever I go, until I see lines around the corner, I'm going to

keep on confessing. But first, we must live in the

tension of faith and time. What had happened was we go all

the way back to Genesis 12 and God then gives Abram.

He calls Abram to leave his country and promises I will make

you into a great nation. You go on to Genesis 15.

Abraham asked. He asked God what will you give

me since I remained childless? Somebody say Gen. 15 watch this.

God takes Abram outside and says look toward heaven and count the

stars. So shall your somebody say

offspring be? Abraham believed God and it's

credited to him as righteousness.

Watch this. At this moment faith was born

for a literal child. God didn't reveal child in

chapter 12. He just said I'm going to give

you mini necks. And here he says, I'm going to

give you an offspring, right? And then you go to you go to

Genesis 16. Sarah Brooke, watch this.

Abraham got the promise. Sarah counted herself as not the

woman to bring the promise. So she gives permission for

Haggard to have a baby. And Abraham said sure, she said,

Abraham, go, go ahead, 'cause I can't do it.

So God must be talking about our maid servants.

So go ahead and have a baby with her and Abraham will don't mind

if I do. Am I talking to human beings in

here? Abraham says yes, Lord, yeah,

absolutely. OK, I I will make this happen.

Yes. Why babe?

You sure? OK, OK, you sure?

OK OK, so so watch this. So he goes on and, and, and out

of impatience and unbelief, they begin to create a promise,

because they couldn't wait for a promise.

So we see in, in, in, He, he, he, he, he.

They have Ishmael. Ishmael.

So Sarah grows weary of waiting. She gives her maidservant,

Haggard Abram, to bear a child. Haggard conceives Ishmael, but

tension then grows in the household.

All this tension breaking out in your house because you, you got

your Ishmael. You, you, you did what you

wanted to do. God promised you a beautiful

husband, God promised you a beautiful wife.

God promised you a beautiful career.

God promised you wealth. God promised you all this.

But since you didn't believe, now you have birthed this

tension in your house, in your soul.

You couldn't wait. Watch this.

You couldn't wait because you doubted you.

You disqualify you. Abraham is 86 years old when

Ishmael is born. Somebody say 86.

This is when human effort tried to speed up divine timing.

The covenant confirmed and name change in Genesis 17.

God renews the covenant changes Abram's name.

He's like, yeah, we we got to change your name.

We got to do a new thing. He don't don't underestimate

when God changed your name even in the spirit, because this is

how he begins to label the new life in you, right?

Y'all y'all to messed up If I if I leave you that name, if I

leave you that person, if I leave you that mindset, the

blessing I'm about to pronounce is connected to the name I'm

about to change. He says, he says, he says God

says explicitly watch this in 17.

That's where he says explicitly explicitly that Sarah herself

will bear a son and his name. What now?

See now God got to get real specific and tight with you

because you took his generality as a license to do your

meaningful specific watch this watch this so so so God says so

you won't get it twisted. The promise is going to come

through Sarah, and so you don't get in MO twisted.

The name is going to be Isaac. Watch it.

Come on, let it hit your spirit instead of seeing if it's going

to pop up on the screen. It ain't.

Watch this Abraham. He laughs.

He laughed before Sarah did. Abraham laughs in 17.

He's 99. Sarah is 90.

God's plan is reaffirmed even in their doubt.

So you think because God just revisited you and restated the

promise, it was because it was about to come right now.

Maybe He is revisiting the promise because He needs you to

get your faith back up for it. Watch this.

Sarah's laughter comes in Genesis 18.

The Lord visits Abram, and then he reaffirms the promise.

This time Sarah laughs. Watch this.

After that, they don't have a baby until Genesis 21.

What happens before that? While while the promise is still

at work, God is executing judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah.

So you think that God is just focused on your promise, not

knowing while your promise is still active.

Jay Iris. While Jay Iris is on the way,

the woman with the issue of blood has a right to her savior.

So while God promised you, he don't got to rush for you.

But no, He is fighting for you while He is facilitating a place

for your promise to be birthed. You got to know that your

promise can't show up in any type of condition.

So maybe although God has given you a promise, He has to

straighten out the conditions in which the promise is going to be

birthed in, right? You want healing, but you don't

want God to get the conditions of your mind ready so you never

sick again in that way. And that's why it's worth just

waiting and pursuing God the first time he goes.

God's justice and mercy are both active while Abraham still

waits. Genesis 20.

Abraham's still human. He lies to Abimelech.

He lies because his wife is fine.

So he like, oh, I got to tell him that's my sister to save my

life. So he lies and says that that's

my sister because they feel like Abraham, like she's so fine, she

old, but she fine and they might kill me to have her.

They was moving crazy back then. And then God gives the man a

dream and he says man, why don't don't mess with him.

That's my prophet. Why you, why you lie?

Watch this. She laughed while waiting on the

promise. He lies.

Did he stop the promise? Watch this.

Sarah's protected. No man touches her.

Abraham's sorry about that. Even in Abraham's flaws, God

protects the promise inside Sarah's womb before it even

happens. Even while you acting a fool,

God is still protecting the Word He gave you years ago.

And then we see in Genesis 21, promise fulfilled, He visits

Sarah. And that's where we picked up

here. He did what He said He would do.

The Word of God prevails over time over logic and over

unbelief. Abraham and Sarah learned that

faith isn't just believing God can, it's trusting He will, even

when it looks impossible. God does not just make promises.

Get this. God does not just make promises.

He protects promises. Watch this.

He doesn't just protect promises.

He matures promises and he brings them to pass.

Watch this keyword in his time. Somebody say in his time.

We'll close here in Genesis 17. What had happened was God also

said to Abraham, As for Sarai, right we going back your wife,

you are no longer to call her Sarai.

Her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will.

Surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she

will be the mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from

her. Watch this Abraham fell face

down. He laughed and said to himself,

Will a son be born to a man 100 years old?

Will Sarah bear a child at the age of 90?

And Abraham said to God, if only Ishmael might live under your

blessing. Watch this, This is powerful.

It's where we close and watch this.

Abraham has this baby in a shady way.

He comes to God and intercedes on his baby's behalf and he says

God, I know I did some voodoo, I know I did some witchcraft.

But can you bless Ishmael? Yes, but your wife Sarah will

bear you a son and you will call him Isaac.

Watch this. God is not.

I don't care how much negotiating you do, God still

means what he say. Watch this.

You can have an Isaac or Ishmael and it be blessed.

Oh, he what? What?

What's this? I will establish my watch This I

will. I will I.

But your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him

Isaac. I will establish my covenant,

though. I will bless Ishmael, but my

covenant will be with Isaac. I don't got no time to go.

Through the difference between that.

And so many of us in here, we just want God to bless us.

Lord bless me with houses. Lord bless me with cars.

Lord bless me, bless me with with family.

Lord bless me with this and bless me with that.

And God said, man, I the blood means I died to have covenant

with you. Now, Father, if you want me to

just bless you and pay your little phone bill and you want

me to just buy you something to eat and you want me to put a

roof over your head, that's all you want out our relationship.

Do you know there's protection in our relationship, There's

healing in our relationship, There's peace in our

relationship. The fruit of the Spirit is

covenant fruit. And some of us are willing to

live anxious in a nice house so you can have your Ishmael.

I don't know about you, but I want my Isaac.

I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting

covenant. Watch this and watch this when

Ishmael is dead. Now, there's blessing on nations

here and we can talk about the current state of war right now,

but this covenant of blessing with Isaac is generational.

The decisions you're making in this lifetime will impact people

in your future bloodline saying that's for Ishmael.

I've heard you. I will surely bless him.

I will make him fruitful. Watch it and will greatly

increase his numbers. He will be the father of 12

rulers. Watch this Abraham your son

count the stars Isaac he going to be blessed 12 rulers right

You want that career 12 rulers you want everybody in your

bloodline till Jesus returned to be blessed covenant.

I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase.

He will be the father of 12 rulers and I will make him into

a great nation. But boy, if you under if you

follow that bloodline war conflict to this day, that

decision right there has birthed yeah, has birthed what great

nations, a lot of money, a lot of oil, a lot of great buildings

fly there vacation covenant with God.

So but by my covenant I'm going to establish with Isaac.

Did you see what he said? He said everything that I do in

the future. It's established through this

through this Isaac guy. See, that's the power of

covenant, that when God finds someone in the earth to have

covenant with, he impacts the world, He impacts culture, he

impacts nations through that covenant.

He finds somebody in the earth that he can work through whom

Sarah will bear to you by this time next year when he had

finished speaking with Abraham, God went up, God went up, God

left him at that time. Watch this.

Some of you just want presence and experience, and a part of

what you have to understand is they don't matter how you feel.

The blood is covenant, so when you don't feel like God is

present, he's present through His covenant.

Watch this. When you act a fool and you sin

and you don't get it right because someone made covenant

with Him, He's able to restore you even when you don't act

right. This is the power of covenant.

It was covenant that saved the world and made a way for men to

come back to their Father. That's the difference between

covenant and just a blessing. You want the one tree?

Cool, you can have it. But you want generational

covenant. Can I find somebody in the

bloodline who in the bloodline go say Lord strike covenant with

me so that everybody after me in my bloodline.

You can do miracles through. You could change cities through

there's covenant in them. So no matter where they go

across the world, because you have made covenant with the

Richmond bloodline God that wherever we go, it's going to be

blessed. That's the covenant.

When men bless you, I'm gonna bless them.

When they curse you, I'm gonna curse them.

I'm protecting you. Everywhere you go, wherever your

feet tread, you shall prosper. That's covenant.

Watch this. And when you're in covenant, you

don't got to keep redoing. It's done, it's finished, it's

finished. Come on, somebody say it's

finished. It's finished, it's finished.

So that's why we say thank you, Jesus, for your blood, because

that blood is covenant. Covenant says once and for all,

once and for all, once and for all.

There, there there is a favor on your bloodline because you

decided to make covenant with God and not just settle for

blessings and stuff. But you said I will say no to

this so that the future seed that comes out of me.

Lord, you can work through them. You can change nations through

them. Father, you can change culture

through them. And that's what the remnant in

the last days is all about, people that will make covenant.

Lift your hands all over the room, all over the room.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

It is done. It is finished, it is so well,

and we thank you that through Abraham you have established

covenant with us. Through Abraham, through Isaac,

you have established covenant with us.

And I pray that people in this room gets this, that their

obedience, somebody 100 years from now is going to hear about

the sacrifice some of you made. And when they couldn't, there

was a covenant established that says even when you weak, even

when you laugh, even when you doubt, I'm still going to do it.

I'm not doing it because you got all the faith in the world.

I'm doing it because your great grandmama had faith and that's

how he could do this thing called grace.

It's not because how good you are, it's because of the blood

of Jesus. So we eradicate the power of

doubt in your life. Now be uprooted from your life

in the name of Jesus. Stop cancelling yourself out of

it. You're right, you're not big

enough to do it, but God is. If he said it, he'll do it in

Jesus name, Amen. Amen.

Lord help my unbelief. Amen.
