  26. less, but encounter Jesus got a lot of Christians come every

  27. single Sunday and all we want to do is sit and we want to be

  51. Can I just take like 25 seconds and just say a few things?

  52. I'm going to say the same thing, but it's a few things because

  53. every time I say it, something's going to shift.

  54. You could join me or not, or you could stare at me.

  101. My Mama got saved because of Jesus.

  102. My grandma got healed because of Jesus.

  103. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

  104. I came to encounter Jesus today. Jesus, Jesus Jesus.

  105. Jesus is the reason for every season, not just Christmas.

  106. Jesus is in my broke seasons, he's in my wealthy seasons.

  107. He is in my cloudy seasons. He's in my clear seasons.

  108. Jesus in the garage, Jesus in the cathedral.

  109. Jesus. Somebody shout out, Jesus, come

  110. on, lift your hands right where you are, Jesus.

  111. I, I got to encounter Jesus today.

  112. I'm after Jesus today. Is it?

  113. I'm, I'm happy to see y'all, but I'm, I'm, I, I if I see y'all,

  114. but I don't, I walk out without experiencing Jesus.

  115. I don't know. I want to see Danny and Jesus.

  116. I want to see, I want to see EJ and Jesus.

  117. I, I, I have to, we got to press on heaven.

  118. We, we got to put pressure on heaven, put pressure on heaven.

  119. Call the name of Jesus. And even if you don't see any

  120. change, I promise you, you can't say the name of Jesus without

  121. change happening. And if you call, if you call his

  122. name long enough, I promise you'll see the results of his

  123. name. Come on, just say Jesus 10 more

  124. times. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

  125. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, shout out

  126. the name of Jesus. Come on, if you believe with me,

  127. give Jesus a big old round of applause and a shout.

  128. Come on, He's my savior. He's my deliverer.

  129. Jesus, you sit on the throne of my heart.

  130. Jesus, my first love, my way out of nowhere.

  131. Jesus. Jesus.

  132. The father instantly cried out. The father instantly cried out.

  133. It's beautiful. The father instantly cried out.

  134. I do believe. OK, shout that out.

  135. The father instantly cried out a little louder.

  136. The father instantly cried out. But help me overcome my

  137. unbelief. Are you with me today?

  138. At once there's an AM PC that was the NLTAMPC says.

  139. At once the father of the boy gave an eager, piercing,

  140. inarticulate cry with tears. You ever cry and shout to the

  141. point that nobody make out what you were saying?

  142. You was slobbing at the mouth. You was just ugly cry.

  143. And you didn't you? You didn't know it was

  144. inarticulate. It was piercing.

  145. There's different types of cries.

  146. There's cries like my ice cream fell there.

  147. There's cries like somebody walked out on me.

  148. And then there's cries like I, I just lost my child, right?

  149. Right. There's cries.

  150. This cry is a father who is so fed up with his son being

  151. tormented by the enemy. He cries out because he hears

  152. about a man named Jesus and he also hears about the power that

  153. is up on the people that walked with Jesus.

  154. He says Jesus, I believe shout that out one more time.

  155. This is very important. Constantly help my weakness of

  156. faith. Here's a confession and a

  157. prayer. Watch this.

  158. Today's message is help my unbelief.

  159. I know there's some people in here who think they got more

  160. faith than others, and in some areas you do.

  161. But watch this. 1000% of the people in this room has an area

  162. or areas in their lives where their faith is not as strong as

  163. it is in another area there. There's 1000% of the people in

  164. here. Let me tell you like this,

  165. there's areas in your life you just don't believe God in.

  166. There's some areas you like God. Take this and there's some areas

  167. you like God. I'll do it.

  168. And and if you cannot sit here today and realize that there are

  169. areas in your life you just have not believed God, rather that's

  170. with finances, rather that's with relationships, rather

  171. that's with leadership, rather that's with men you got daddy

  172. issues, women, you got Mama issues.

  173. Whatever it is, there is an area in your life that you have

  174. unbelief. Watch what he says.

  175. He says I believe but help my unbelief.

  176. That's a prayer. Instead of walking around like

  177. my faith just covers every area, If faith comes by hearing, then

  178. that lets me know that my faith is strongest where I hear the

  179. most. Watch me, watch me, watch me,

  180. watch me. I do believe.

  181. See if you're not careful where you experience doubt, you think

  182. you just a doubt her not realizing that I know how to

  183. have faith. I know how to believe because

  184. look at the I get on the airplane that I believe, don't

  185. know who's flying me, but I believe right I'm I might have

  186. some nerves going on, but I put my headphones on or I watch a

  187. movie. How many people hate getting on

  188. the plane where there's no entertainment?

  189. What you saying is you need some distraction.

  190. There's no Wi-Fi. That's why I like flying flair.

  191. There's no Wi-Fi. You going to make me go through

  192. all them checks, press my little bag through the face, you know

  193. ain't going to fit, and you ain't going to at least give me

  194. Wi-Fi, right? Right.

  195. But what you're saying is I need some distractions because I have

  196. doubt. Watch this, write it down.

  197. Stop replacing your doubt with distractions.

  198. Distractions never build faith. Distractions help you avoid the

  199. doubt you need to admit to so you can grow in the area of

  200. unbelief. Here's my 3 eights to the

  201. Grizzos. If you gonna grow, here's 3

  202. eights as you need #1 you need hunger.

  203. You need to painfully need to mature like it's not an option.

  204. I need the word I need to face this mountain, not just speak

  205. the mount to the mountain. I need to face the mountain.

  206. I need to hunger and thirst to grow like it has to be painfully

  207. necessary to grow in the area that I am weak right you got you

  208. got big biceps and your legs are puny.

  209. Stop skipping leg day. Your body is, is is is sinfully

  210. disproportionate. It it, it right, right it is.

  211. Come on, you, you, you. All you do is upper body.

  212. That's it. But realistically, what's

  213. holding pressure is not your biceps, it's your legs.

  214. Stop. Look at your neighbors, say stop

  215. skipping leg day. We see your calves.

  216. Number one, hunger #2 honesty, like, like get a couple people

  217. in your life that you can talk to and say I don't believe.

  218. Stop being around people that you got to have faith in areas

  219. you know you don't have faith when you ain't around them.

  220. You can sometimes you got to, you got here.

  221. Like sometime I come up here and I'm dealing with things in my

  222. life and I have to have faith to stand.

  223. Although while I'm telling you God can, I might be dealing with

  224. a little bit of doubt myself while I'm telling you God is on

  225. his way. I might be thinking, man, but is

  226. he on his way for my situation? But if I don't have these

  227. conversations on the side with a couple people in my life that I

  228. can trust with my unbelief. Some people you can't tell you

  229. don't believe because they're going to judge you.

  230. So you got to be honest about the areas that I don't believe

  231. and just say I got problems and I need help.

  232. Can you just practice with me? Say I got problems and I need

  233. help and #3 is you got to have humility.

  234. Here's humility. I'll remain hungry and honest in

  235. the process. Watch this.

  236. All he's saying is God, I believe, but there's some areas

  237. I'm just a mess. I don't got it all together.

  238. Or have I figured it out? Father help my unbelief.

  239. Come on, say Father, help my unbelief.

  240. He is saying, Lord, I can't deal with this no more.

  241. It's OK, you didn't say period. Some of us complain, period.

  242. God, I'm weak. OK, you got to be Anne.

  243. Help me right? What?

  244. Here it is. Watch this EJ.

  245. He is saying I want to believe, but he also understands what his

  246. believing is going to require of him.

  247. Some people won't ask God to help their faith because it

  248. requires. Some humility, it requires some

  249. honesty, it requires some accountability, it requires some

  250. valleys if you're going to grow in your face.

  251. So let's look at this. He says, help my unbelief.

  252. And as we read this in context, we will see that Jesus just

  253. comes off the mountain with a few of his boys, the mountain of

  254. Transfiguration. They just have this encounter,

  255. they have this powerful conversation about the coming of

  256. Elijah and they they see Jesus in a special way.

  257. Watch this. He comes out the mountain and he

  258. says, what is all this arguing about?

  259. Jesus asked. One of the men in the crowd

  260. spoke up and said, Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal

  261. him. This is why I say today, what is

  262. what is your I came to church, So what right I I read my

  263. devotion So what can happen? I got saved.

  264. So what? I brought my son so you could

  265. what heal him very specific. He didn't say I brought my son

  266. so you could bless him. I brought my son for

  267. breakthrough. No, no, no.

  268. So you can heal him. He is possessed by an evil

  269. spirit that won't let him talk, right?

  270. If the enemy can steal your voice, he could possess your

  271. life. Watch this.

  272. And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to

  273. the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and

  274. grinds his teeth and becomes rigid.

  275. So I asked your disciples that that that could preach right

  276. there. The rigidity, the rigidity of

  277. religiosity. The rigidity.

  278. When the enemy gets a hold of you, we have to turn to

  279. religion. We have to turn to works alone.

  280. OK, He comes to him and says, I need my son free once and for

  281. all. Some of us need to have once and

  282. for all about our unbelief. So I asked your disciples to

  283. cast out the evil spirit, but they could not do it.

  284. They could argue, but they had no power.

  285. They, they, they knew how to complain, but they had no power.

  286. Watch this, Jesus said to them, You faithless people, how long

  287. must I be with you so you can put, so you can stop putting

  288. everything on Jesus? There are things he has anointed

  289. you to participate in. Yes, he's a healer, but can you

  290. lay hands on the sick? He's a deliverer, but can you go

  291. and cast out a demon? There are things he has called

  292. us to do that he has already done.

  293. How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you?

  294. Bring the boy to me. Say bring the boy to me.

  295. Bring the. Boy.

  296. To me, right? This is how we do sometime.

  297. Hey, you come to my church. It's powerful.

  298. No, that person needs you to be powerful on Tuesday because

  299. they're about to lose their mind.

  300. Hey, you got to meet my pastor. No, they got to meet you, right?

  301. You, you got to come to my church, man, we have such a good

  302. time. No, they need to have a good

  303. time with you at the coffee shop.

  304. Stop delaying power till Sunday and putting it off on somebody

  305. else. Somebody shout out.

  306. I'm anointed too watch this. So they brought the boy but but

  307. but when the evil spirit saw Jesus.

  308. When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a

  309. violent convulsion. This is so powerful.

  310. Jesus was upon the disciples but the evil spirits didn't notice

  311. it when they saw Jesus the enemy.

  312. Watch this when Jesus showed up, the little boy didn't get free.

  313. We're going to get to this in a little bit, OK?

  314. You wonder why the enemy begins to act out violently in your

  315. life, like when you you thought it was bad and now it's active,

  316. it's getting really bad. What, like, like stop being

  317. shocked when things aren't going your way because it just might

  318. be the enemy acting a fool or your flesh because revival has

  319. really landed. It may be.

  320. Look, look, the presence of the devil does not indicate the

  321. absence of Jesus. I don't know what you came to do

  322. on Sunday. I came to hear a word like that.

  323. So when hell breaks out, I don't got to wonder where Jesus is at.

  324. If I'm in the fiery furnace, I understand there's another one

  325. in there. There's another one in the fire.

  326. Because I'm in hell don't mean Jesus been to hell and back.

  327. So because I'm going through it does not mean Jesus is not

  328. present. So when chaos breaks out, I got

  329. to stop asking Jesus to come. The presence of evil does not

  330. indicate there's an absence of Jesus, he said.

  331. He fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.

  332. Freedom, deliverance or revival? Watch.

  333. This is not often the immediate result of the presence of Jesus.

  334. Here's where a lot of us lose it because we like, well, if Jesus

  335. is present, then why this happened?

  336. I came that men might be saved. Where the Spirit of the Lord is,

  337. there is freedom. It doesn't mean you are free.

  338. Freedom is present. You got to step into it.

  339. There's a word in your mouth, but guess what you got to do?

  340. Open your mouth and speak the word.

  341. Ezekiel looked at the dry bones. Then bones would not have gotten

  342. up just because God was present. God said, Ezekiel, I need your

  343. mouth so these bones can live. So can I put my word in your

  344. mouth so your city can come to know me?

  345. Can I put my word in your mouth so your family can turn around

  346. and I put my word in your mouth and put my faith in your belly

  347. so we can see this child healed. See.

  348. It's freedom and deliverance. Revival.

  349. Hold on. There's something missing.

  350. Yeah, there's something. We're going to go back.

  351. OK, Because I'm reading some. Some.

  352. Same slides, but I had added some stuff that I can't miss.

  353. So you guys are blessed because I'm going to go back, but I'm

  354. going to finish this point then I'm going to go back.

  355. Chica BA, I got to go back all right, somebody say ah, there we

  356. go. We just that's just a reset.

  357. OK, there we go, here we go, here we go.

  358. You guys have the right slides. Watch this.

  359. So after help my unbelief. OK, watch the scripture.

  360. Then they said they asked him, what must we do to do the works

  361. God requires? What must we do to do, do to do

  362. right? We always want to do, to do.

  363. What must we do to do? Jesus answered the work of God.

  364. Is this to believe? The the reason why he woke you

  365. up this morning is to believe. I know, I know, it didn't go

  366. your way this week, but you made it through this week so you can

  367. what? Believe you.

  368. You know, I know you just had a hellish last few years, but

  369. guess what? You hear?

  370. You woke up, You still got family, you still got friends,

  371. you still got shelter, you still got something to eat.

  372. Why? So you can what?

  373. Believe? Watch this.

  374. Watch this. God has not forgotten your big

  375. request, but God is not going to skip your unbelief so that your

  376. faith can be in the promise. So what He's doing is taking you

  377. from faith to faith, glory to glory.

  378. Can you see that it was me that woke you up this morning?

  379. Can you see it was me that protected you while you were

  380. asleep? Can you see it was me that

  381. brought you from your house to the church?

  382. Can you? Can you be thankful for what I

  383. did today? He taught us how to pray.

  384. Give us this day Our Daily Bread.

  385. Promise you that every step of belief is leading to the

  386. greatest breakthrough you've ever seen.

  387. Growing your faith takes baby steps, and God loves you too

  388. much to have your faith in a promise and not Him, he says.

  389. The reason I do this is because I desire you to believe in me.

  390. You think you think the promised land is so you can feel good.

  391. It's giants in the promised land.

  392. You think the mountaintop is so you can feel good.

  393. Watch what Numbers say, the Lord said to Moses.

  394. How long will these people treat me disrespectfully and reject

  395. me? And how long will they not

  396. believe? Watch this.

  397. How long will they not believe despite all the miraculous signs

  398. which I have performed, Can we just take 60 seconds and not

  399. give God a praise break? Can we just think on what He's

  400. done? Because sometimes you're giving

  401. Him a praise break and it's all emotional.

  402. It's not thoughtful. I guarantee you if you just

  403. start between yesterday, the last 24 hours and start counting

  404. them up, counting them up, counting them up.

  405. Watch this food on your table is a blessing.

  406. Ask somebody who don't got it. Now go ahead, take 60 seconds

  407. and count on your hands. I'm talking about count it all.

  408. Holy Spirit helpless. You can start with everything

  409. you're wearing too. Start with that toothpaste.

  410. Start with them eyes that it takes to see the screen.

  411. That car you got outside, I'm down to my last quarter tank.

  412. Well, guess what? You got a quarter tank.

  413. And you you can't. You probably can keep going.

  414. Got a job? Yeah.

  415. Don't pay as much as you want. Guess what, You got a job.

  416. Money come in and money go right out.

  417. Guess what? He's coming in.

  418. And guess what? It's a blessing.

  419. It's going out. Some people don't got no money

  420. to go out because it ain't coming in, he said.

  421. I do all these things so you can believe the hardest thing to do

  422. was to get you saved. The biggest miracle ever in your

  423. life has been done. Watch this.

  424. Somebody say, Father, help my unbelief.

  425. Watch this. The key to growing my faith on

  426. my belief is to recognize that my faith is imperfect, fragile,

  427. and incomplete. I do get faith fatigue, at least

  428. faith fatigue even in the things I have great faith for, my faith

  429. gets tired. It's why he says your faith is

  430. on trial. So while your faith is on trial,

  431. guess what? You need patience and let

  432. patients work. We'll, we'll unpack that one

  433. day, but let patients work even while faith is under arrest.

  434. I don't know if you've ever been on trial, but but but when you

  435. on trial, there's a lot of stuff that's undecided there.

  436. There's not much freedom you have when you on trial.

  437. So he says while your faith is on trial, let patience work.

  438. When when my faith is tied up and tired out, let patience

  439. work. Watch this.

  440. Can I hold on to the little bit until he comes and fixes the

  441. little of nothing? It'll be up there.

  442. You probably can't shout till you see it on the screen, but

  443. but next, please. Thank you.

  444. Can I hold on to the little bit until he comes and fixes the

  445. little of nothing? That's like faith forwardness.

  446. That's that's that's, that's that's I, I am going to hold on

  447. to my I'm not going to throw my little bit of faith out because

  448. there's an area I don't have no faith.

  449. So then we go, he says how long has this been happening?

  450. Jesus asked the boy's father. He replied since he was a little

  451. boy say that's a long time. Spirit often throws him into the

  452. fire or into circumstances or into the water trying to kill

  453. him. Come on, I'm going to tell

  454. somebody in here. Look the enemy you think you

  455. just strong and healthy. No, the enemy tried to kill you

  456. a bunch of times. If you had God's point of view,

  457. see this is what people you. This is where you get you

  458. allowing your faith to get arrested.

  459. If you understood how many times the enemy tried to kill you.

  460. Maybe I'm the only one like I know this is Canada, but maybe

  461. I'm the only person in here who almost lost my life or almost

  462. been in jail or or or or thought it was over or dealt with mental

  463. challenges. Or am I am I like the only one

  464. or, or I'm looking at I know it's a bunch of y'all young

  465. y'all ain't been through something.

  466. So I promise you right now, this is not a prophetic word.

  467. This is this is this is a fact. You going to go through some

  468. hell and then so I'm going to ask that question again in a few

  469. years and you're going to be on this altar saying yes, the enemy

  470. comes to do nothing else but to kill, steal and destroy.

  471. And the fact that I'm still here, I'm healthy, I'm I'm

  472. looking good, I'm vibrant. I got a family, I got a church

  473. home. I got a hope.

  474. I got to expect it in. Come on, somebody.

  475. He say have mercy on us and help us if you can, Jesus.

  476. Jesus screeches in his voice. What do you mean if I can?

  477. Boy, if I can, do you? Do you know who I am?

  478. If I can have you see, I love Jesus, He like if I can, this is

  479. what I do right? You better catch this.

  480. This is this miracle ain't happening because Jesus can't.

  481. Your breakthrough ain't came because Jesus can't.

  482. Maybe this is the question that you won't let go of and start

  483. acting like he did not. He can.

  484. He did right. I I by his stripes, I have been

  485. healed. Come on now.

  486. I have been set free. This ain't no even.

  487. No, no, no. I know he can, but I also know

  488. he did. The difference between he can

  489. and he did is huge. If he did, it impacts my

  490. actions. If he can, it keeps me waiting.

  491. Well, ain't you supposed to wait like.

  492. Yeah, you supposed to wait like he did.

  493. Can I help 5 people? You supposed to wait like he

  494. did? Like it's already done.

  495. Let me make it simple. If you are believing for

  496. healing, then guess how you supposed to act?

  497. By his stripes, I've been healed.

  498. So I might smile when I want to cry.

  499. I might laugh when I want to cuss you out.

  500. Because I believe it is already done.

  501. Come on, shout out. It's already done.

  502. Anything is possible. Watch this.

  503. You don't say anything is possible if he can.

  504. Anything is possible. If a person believes so you so

  505. so you just quickly see what's not being seen is one of the

  506. enemy's tactics is to get you in doubt.

  507. The father instantly cried out. I do believe, but help me

  508. overcome my unbelief, Lord, help me believe in every area is what

  509. he's asking. Watch this.

  510. I'm here to tell you, be not weary in the well doing of

  511. believing. Come on.

  512. Be not weary in the well doing of believing.

  513. Come on shout out I believe watch this belief belief comes

  514. by choice faith comes by hearing come on help me out today Lord

  515. see I just got smarter in 10 seconds.

  516. I just got to keep belief comes by choice, faith comes by

  517. hearing. Faith and belief is heads and

  518. tails. Same coin, but what makes the

  519. difference is. I choose to believe, come on

  520. somebody, but it's hard to have faith in the area I haven't

  521. heard today. You can watch this love believes

  522. the best, right? You don't get on this.

  523. This is the this is parental love.

  524. It don't matter what it looks like.

  525. It don't matter how they acting up.

  526. I believe it's going to turn around and because I believe

  527. it's going to turn around, let me have some faith.

  528. What is faith? It is the action of my belief.

  529. Watch this. I'm I believe I'm starving like

  530. Marvin. I'm starving but I can believe

  531. I'm starving. But at some point guess what?

  532. I better do some of y'all confused over there.

  533. If I'm starving at some point I better what?

  534. And if I don't eat, what's going to happen eventually?

  535. You going to starve? To what?

  536. Death. But I believed I was hungry,

  537. right? I believe God can.

  538. But guess what? Faith is me beating myself.

  539. I'm so sorry. I can't get no more milk than

  540. that. I can't get no more gerbers than

  541. that. Can't get no more queen a wheat

  542. than that. That is as basic as I can put

  543. it. I believe I'm hungry.

  544. I believe it's going to be a good day, but you don't want

  545. that messed it up. So if I start my day off

  546. believing. It's going to be a good day.

  547. And then the enemy comes from my, my belief, my good day.

  548. Then guess what I got to do? I got to understand that my

  549. faith said it's going to be a good day.

  550. So guess what? When the enemy comes in, I got,

  551. I got to, I can't react with anger because you're trying to

  552. mess up my belief. You're trying to mess up my good

  553. day. You want me to cuss you out?

  554. No, no, no. I believe it's going to be a

  555. good day and if I cuss you out it's going to mess up my good

  556. day. Even if cussing you out make my

  557. flesh feel good is still in God's eyes not a good day

  558. anytime you cuss. Somebody out?

  559. It is. Not a good day.

  560. Belief or faith, it's not about. Intellectual agreement.

  561. It's not like, it's not like, yeah, that's going to be cool.

  562. No, no, it's not about. It's not built on just just

  563. simple facts, no. It it it's saying there's.

  564. The evidence that God can, but I'm struggling believing He

  565. will, but I choose to believe. Therefore, my faith is the

  566. actions that align with my belief.

  567. While he was still speaking there.

  568. Came some from the ruler's house who said to Jay Iris, your

  569. daughter has what died? Come on.

  570. Your daughter has what? Talk to me one more time.

  571. Your daughter has what? Come on, say bearer of bad news.

  572. Well, who? Next service we're going to get

  573. into. That we're going to get into

  574. we're going to get into how rumors and bad news attack

  575. belief. See that that's all that that's

  576. the trick in the garden. She got a word from the Lord.

  577. They got a word from the Lord. All the enemy did was make her

  578. question the truth. Watch this while he was still.

  579. Speaking. He says watch this, watch this,

  580. please watch this. Your daughter has died.

  581. Why bother? And distress the teacher any

  582. further I can. I can pause right there and tell

  583. you why it's worth your time bothering Jesus.

  584. I would not be here if I didn't bother.

  585. Jesus. Right.

  586. Watch this Gratitude bothers. Jesus.

  587. Watch Watch this. Watch this.

  588. Complaining irritates Jesus. Hoping bothers Jesus.

  589. Watch this blind Bartimaeus Jesus.

  590. Jesus is ignoring. Jesus ignoring but the hope of

  591. blind Bartimaeus bother Jesus to the point that it made Jesus

  592. stop. Watch this overhearing.

  593. But ignoring what they said, watch this.

  594. He ignored them because he was irritated by there and watch

  595. this. You got to ignore the bad report

  596. even if the bad report is factual, if the bad report is

  597. factual but does not align with what I'm believing.

  598. Then I got to ignore it. Look, just because it's facts,

  599. it don't require my attention. Watch this.

  600. My attention is worth more than facts.

  601. All right, overhearing, but. Ignoring what they said, Jesus

  602. is saying if we go, I came all this way to CJ Iris's daughter

  603. alive. So I'm on a faith assignment.

  604. I have no time to pay attention to the rumors.

  605. Watch this. It wasn't a lie.

  606. Stop. Thinking you only ignore.

  607. Lies. God got a promise for me.

  608. He said that. Terence is supposed to be this.

  609. This, this, this, this, this, this this.

  610. Now I need my faith to agree with what God said.

  611. Therefore I'm on a. Faith assignment for the.

  612. Richmond bloodline When I come here on Sunday, when I join a

  613. church, I'm on an assignment, so whenever the.

  614. Enemy comes with. Rumors and facts.

  615. There are some facts I need to. Ignore, because the facts are

  616. not a threat to my faith if I believe.

  617. Do not be seized with alarm and. Struck with fear.

  618. Look at him, look at him. Jesus is almost like.

  619. Look at. Me look.

  620. At me. Look at me.

  621. No, I know you hear your aunties and your cousins giving you that

  622. report. Look at me.

  623. Do not be seized. With alarm and struck.

  624. With fear only keep believing. Somebody say that what does only

  625. mean only keep believing. Only keep believe.

  626. Man, you need to hear this when you've been fighting for

  627. something for 17 years, he said. How long have your son been in

  628. this condition? Since he was a little boy.

  629. See, see you. You need to only keep believing

  630. because you've been believing. But now my belief is that it's

  631. threatened right now. So he says only keep believing.

  632. If we're going to be in the last days where people are going to

  633. fall away from the faith, when hearts are going to wax cold,

  634. this is very important. Only keep believing.

  635. I don't care what comes our way. I don't care what don't go our

  636. way. Only keep believe.

  637. I don't care if it takes 1000 years for your son to come home.

  638. Only keep. I don't care if it takes 10,000

  639. years for your marriage to turn around.

  640. Only keep believing. Only keep believing only.

  641. Keep believing. Somebody say only?

  642. Keep believing. One more time, say only keep.

  643. Believing freedom, deliverance, revival is not often the

  644. immediate result of the presence of Jesus.

  645. He was thrown down. He was thrown down.

  646. The first thing that happened when Jesus arrived is all hell

  647. broke out. You got to hear that the first

  648. thing that. Happened when Jesus.

  649. Arrived was all hell, broke out often.

  650. When the Devil. Detects revival has landed in

  651. your life. All hell begins to break out.

  652. You're bombarded with lies and facts and rumors.

  653. Watch this. But some facts don't got nothing

  654. to do with what I'm believing for, right?

  655. Stop being entertained by facts if it don't have nothing to do

  656. with your assignment. Lift your hands right where you

  657. are. And I just challenge you to open

  658. your mouth in this. Moment and begin to pray, and

  659. you can pray in the Spirit. But the prayer.

  689. Help my. Unbelief Jesus.

  690. It's turning around today. I'm not, I'm not focused on the

  691. problem. I'm focused on my unbelief,

  692. right? I don't got room to focus on my

  693. unbelief having a problem. No, no, no, no, no.

  694. I'm about to put that energy towards my unbelief.

  695. And begin to believe. Come on doubt, you shall live no

  696. more in my life. Come on doubt, you shall live no

  697. more in my life. The mountain of doubt.

  698. You must be moved now in the name of Jesus.

  705. Watch. This you ready everybody?

  706. Needs to hear this question. What if the problem was that you

  707. didn't believe? Jesus is you don't believe in

  708. yourself. His unbelief.

  709. Was in the way of what he knew Jesus could do.

  710. Say it again, his unbelief. Was in the way of what he knew

  711. Jesus could do watch this is because he saw Jesus do it so

  712. him coming to. Jesus was.

  713. Saying because you did it before, I know you could do it

  714. again. I'm just struggling with if you

  715. could do it for me. Here it is unbelief.

  716. Needs evidence that it can be done.

  717. If I've never saw it done. What is my unbelief based off

  718. of? So the biggest thing This is why

  719. the. Testimony.

  720. Whatever you struggling with today, look around the room and

  721. I promise you can find a testimony that points to God

  722. could do it again if your. Heart has ever been broken.

  723. Guess what minds have too? He will heal your heart.

  724. Matter of fact, He will cause you.

  725. Forget the pain. There's people in here.

  726. Who have dealt with poverty, but they can give you a story of how

  727. God brought them into a bumper crop.

  728. A huge part of my unbelief. Is because I've seen it done, I

  729. just don't. Believe he could do it for me.

  730. I don't believe it's my turn. You can take this away.

  731. I don't. I don't.

  732. I don't believe because watch this if if that.

  733. Was him not? Believing in Jesus, I've never,

  734. and it could be some places, don't get me wrong, OK, but I

  735. haven't seen a place where Jesus responds miraculously to

  736. unbelief. Watch this.

  737. Jesus did not rebuke his unbelief.

  738. He. Actually.

  739. Performed a miracle. So when you hear help my

  740. unbelief, I believe that that's a picture of muster.

  741. See faith because he said I believe, but in the area I don't

  742. believe because watch this. I just left your disciples and

  743. nothing happened. The fact that he just walks.

  744. Away from Jesus disciples and they tried and.

  745. Tried and tried and. Nothing happened and then he

  746. still. Asked Jesus watch this.

  747. That was faith, Yes, that's right.

  748. Problem is you have stopped. Bothering Jesus?

  749. Because the devil somewhere made you think.

  750. It must not be for me. Healing must not be for me.

  751. Health must not be for me. Financial freedom must not be

  752. for. Me.

  753. This is the day. That every everything changes in

  754. your faith life. Lift your hands right where you

  755. are. Lord, may we be a believing

  756. people. May we just not be a.

  757. Declaring people. And a prophetic people.

  758. May our lives look like we believe.

  759. Because you've done it. You've said it and This is why

  760. they. Overcome by the word.

  761. Of that testimony, Lord, if you did it for them, you could do it

  762. for me. If you did it before, you could

  763. do it again. Saying God right now.

  764. Saying God back then. So as you lift your hands all

  822. Hallelujah. Hallelujah what we going to keep

  823. going next experience and we going we going to dig into this

  824. word and for whatever reason this word arrested me and I feel

  825. like. Faith in Him is the only thing

  826. that's going to. Help us through.

  827. We often talk about faith, but not belief.

  828. And we they are, they are 1/4, they are a dime.

  829. But it's heads and tails. Same coin, two different sides.

  830. So today I declare you don't just.

  831. Go from yes to I Do you? Go from belief to faith?

  832. Put some. Legs to your belief.

  833. In Jesus name. In Jesus name.

  834. Father, we thank you for every giver today.

  835. Lord, you, you said you will build your church and you.

  836. Are doing just that. In Jesus name, Amen.

  837. Amen. So really quickly just.

  838. As we are giving. Today somebody say first time so

  839. after we've given twice. There's 95 grand that has come.

  840. In and we are believing for 500 now now forgive me say forgive

  841. pastor the T because this is my first time we had.

  842. After the architect. Drew the drawings we submitted.

  843. Them in the city. Signed off on them and we come

  844. to this point. They come in, everything is good

  845. and then they see the stairs in the mezzanine and says this is a

  846. hazard. Wait a minute.

  847. You approve the. Drawings in the 1st place and

  848. now. It's a hazard.

  849. Somebody say gone God and so anytime it's a delay, it also

  850. costs more money, but. He said he going to build his

  851. church and watch this. We are pioneering a.

  852. Church not planting a church on your own time?

  853. Go. Look up the difference.

  854. Between a pioneer and a farmer, OK, we're not planting a we

  855. don't have a playbook. We have been walking with Jesus

  856. to learn some lessons because we will have church planters until

  857. Jesus return. And one day we're going to be

  858. able to hand them a blueprint where there was no blueprint

  859. we're going to be able to give them.

  860. Wisdom where there was. No wisdom and so just bear with

  861. with us as we are learning as we go.

  862. And so we got the drawings. They have not been submitted to

  863. the city yet because now we're waiting.

  864. Our architect drew the drawings and then it has to go to the

  865. engineer and the engineer has to merge them with his structural

  866. drawings and and then we submit them to the city.

  867. And so until then, work has stopped.

  868. Somebody say go on Jesus. Look, here's the truth of the

  869. matter. We need more money so.

  870. Praise God, the work has stopped.

  871. Amen. And so we not homeless and this

  872. is all a part of believing, believing God and so we're

  873. believing what I want to do. I had somebody come to me the

  874. other day and I love their faith.

  875. I'm not going to call him or her out, but I just love their

  876. faith. They was like Pastor TI don't

  877. know if I'm crazy or not but man I see in the Bible where they

  878. sold stuff to make stuff happen and we always.

  879. Selling stuff to make. Stuff happen in our lives.

  880. I don't want to say nothing to the people, but man, I want to

  881. challenge the people. Maybe am I tripping like to sell

  882. some stuff and I'm like, I ain't going to let you loose like

  883. that. But but, but but the point is,

  884. is there's somebody in the house and people in the house that's

  885. like I actually want to do whatever it takes.

  886. Like to that point. I am willing to hear God's voice

  887. if He wants me to sell something to build His house.

  888. Because watch this, you can't overlook that in the Bible

  889. either. Somebody say it's in the Bible,

  890. right? You can't overlook.

  891. Where it says. The people gave so much that the

  892. priest had to stop them from giving.

  893. Lord I pray that blessing that I have to stop people from giving

  894. one day in Jesus name overwhelm me.

  895. Overwhelming and so. This was supposed.

  896. To be the last one, we were supposed to move in in October

  897. and I and that is what the contractors told us three months

  898. ago. OK, I will say this, there has

  899. not been one delay or even major delay that has happened because

  900. we didn't do something or we didn't have something.

  901. So as although we need a lot of money, delay has never come

  902. because we couldn't do something right.

  903. Every holdup has been because a job needed to get done or there

  904. was a delay somewhere in the line of work.

  905. And then God brought us some people, that's a part of our

  906. church to bring another level of excellence to assure that we get

  907. through the ribbon in Jesus name.

  908. And so we thank God for that. So as we give today, I am just

  909. going to say moving forward after this, we are going to be

  910. in this remnant project until we walk into that building.

  911. OK, Now you can partake in it or not.

  912. OK, But. We have to.

  913. Believe God and if you can't sow your seed, at least sow your

  914. faith. But I'm just going to tell you,

  915. you ain't so in faith if you're not putting some legs to it,

  916. right? So you can believe we going to

  917. get in this building, but you got to take the next step.

  918. I just believe today that that 95 grand that was taken over two

  919. months will be matched today. Can I just believe?

  920. Like, to me, that ain't even radical because there's been

  921. plenty of offerings in Love Quest's history that have hit

  922. over A100150 in our early times. I remember them, them, them

  923. victory seeds, OK. And so we're going to have more

  924. opportunities to give. God's going to touch people that

  925. don't go to this community. But it's got to start with us.

  926. And if you hear us mentioning Remnant, I just don't want you

  927. to be like, wait a minute, I thought we was done.

  928. No, we not done. And if you want to blame me,

  929. blame me, whatever. But those those drawings cost.

  930. Yeah. And there's always stuff that

  931. you don't see and it'd be costing.

  932. I'm learning that say he learning say I'm glad I'm not

  933. him. Amen.

  934. Whatever. So today we're going to give as

  935. usual to our worship team is going to give first and then

  936. and, and then our elders and our families will give and, and then

  937. the ushers will usher you to giving.

  938. I thank God for whatever amount is coming in today.

  939. I'm believing radically big, but I do not take $1.00 lightly for

  940. the work of the ministry and for the building of God's house.

  941. And so I thank you in advance for every seed that is being

  942. sewn as you're getting. If you need an envelope, lift

  943. your hands right where you are. Please, please, please, somebody

  944. say stretch. Yeah, he can and he will.

  945. And. Think I might sell a few pair of

  946. shoes. Amen.

  947. Not to you anybody, anybody wear 12 or 11 1/2 that's good for

  948. you. You got some money.

  949. Amen. Wednesday nights is phenomenal

  950. so. Come out on Wednesday night.

  951. Baptisms is this coming Saturday right here, February 1st along

  952. with communion. Even if you not November 1st,

  953. even if you're not getting baptized, still come out and

  954. support. Amen.

  955. And I'm missing one other thing, huh?

  956. Oh, tonight, somebody say tonight.

  957. Tonight we are launching Perfected, Perfected.

  958. Somebody say perfected. No, not stay connected.

  959. Perfected. OK, not state Somebody say not

  960. stay connected. Perfected.

  961. Right. This is why we are meeting on

  962. Sunday nights, so we can stop putting up the wrong slides.

  963. Amen. Hallelujah.

  964. Yeah, that's fine. I'm not going to be mad at

  965. baptism slide, but perfected. OK, Perfected.

  966. Perfected. We are.

  967. We are equipping the leaders for the wins.

  968. OK. Tonight is only for clergy and

  969. directors. We're kicking it off with just

  970. clergies and directors. Sunday evenings.

  971. Perfected will be not for the public.

  972. It will only be for leaders. OK, watch this.

  973. If you are tired of volunteering, this is the

  974. perfect time to step back. The only people that are invited

  975. to Sunday evening are people that want to help carry Love

  976. Quest into the next season and beyond.

  977. OK, that mean you got to serve every week, but you are going to

  978. step up and you want to carry Tonight is directors and clergy

  979. only, including the worship team.

  980. I love that slide. Amen.

  981. Starting next Sunday is every leader.

  982. Now, listen, you can say you want to lead all you want to.

  983. If you cannot make the sacrifice to be here on Sunday evenings at

  984. least a couple times a week, you are saying that you don't have

  985. time to lead because leadership is not about just picking up

  986. chairs in the Kingdom. Leadership is about

  987. discipleship, opportunity. OK.

  988. And so when we come, we are going back to the basics.

  989. We're going over the vision, the mission.

  990. We're going over our culture, our DNA.

  991. We're going over some of the crowned material.

  992. We are going back to the basics. We're going over what we believe

  993. in, all of this stuff. We're answering questions and we

  994. are preparing to go into this building.

  995. So perfect. It will go on until we walk into

  996. that building. Amen.

  997. Everybody has an envelope. Amen.

  998. Father, thank you for every giver.

  999. I thank you, Father, that you will give.
