LIVE!: A Word from My Deliverer & King - 10.5.2025 - 12PM (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.

This is the day the Lord has made, and we rejoice.

Amen. This is the day the Lord is

made, and we. Rejoice.

Come on, we rejoice. Come on, we rejoice.

We rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice I'm.

Gonna look at your neighbors. Say rejoice.

Come on. Look at your neighbors.

Say let me see your grill. Come on, rejoice.

You can be seated in the presence of a mighty God.

Only one true living God. Come on, let's.

Pray Father, we just thank you for this day.

We receive the Word in joy. We we received the Word with an

open heart, open mind. Holy Spirit.

Put the Word into the crevices of our blind spots.

Flood our hearts with the light of Your Word, Lord, I pray that

in this hour, as darkness gets grosser, grace abounds.

Lord, I thank You that you're raising up a remnant of people

that will stand on the frontline and shall not be moved.

I pray that the harvest is plenty and declare the laborers

are plenty. I declare soul winners are

rising. Disciple makers are rising.

Uncompromisingly righteous is rising soldiers.

David's. Elijah's Nehemiah's is rising in

this hour cannot be moved will not come down, but we'll March

with the orders in love and when they fall they get right back

up. Thank you, father, that you are

doing something so significant that it requires our total

dependency on you. And as we left off saying, big

God do big things right, exceeding abundantly above all

that we could ask things or imagine.

The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing, the bumper crop is

forming, the locusts are fleeing, the harvest is rising.

In your words, you call us ambassadors of Christ.

The Ecclesia, A governing body which requires authority and

dominion. Lord I I thank you that in these

last days we walk in the authority you have given us, the

dominion you have given us not just be principle based without

authority, but Lord, we know that we wrestle not against

flesh and blood. We understand that the war is

not against our brothers or our sisters, but there's this vast

war that has been taking place since the beginning, and it will

continue until death is swallowed up.

So in the in between time, strengthen us, help us run our

leg of the race. Full of faith may we die.

Full of faith, may we fall. Full of faith.

Full of faith, You ask the question, Jesus, when you

return, will you find us in faith?

Full of faith, Falling towards love.

Fruits of repentance, Quick to repent, as your word tells us.

May we have? Ears to hear today.

And we ask, Holy Spirit, encourage our souls today.

Encourage our souls today. In Jesus name, Amen.

Amen. In the Yeah, go right ahead, go

right ahead. Go right ahead.

The Lord is good. Amen.

Can I get like 3 more Amans? The Lord is good.

So. So I'm going to tell you my goal

today, OK? Not only myself, but leaders

across the world. When I say a leader, I'm not

even Speaking of platform, I'm Speaking of.

Anybody that is leading in the faith, kings and priests.

The very elect the Bible tells us we'll be under attack.

And what I realized is Jesus tells us something kind of like

in a sideways way, he says a house divided cannot stand.

Kingdom divided cannot stand, right in the world's Kingdom.

It is going to be organically divided because the goal is not

oneness. Watch this, The goal is

equality. You get that?

Equality does not mean oneness, it means we're trying to do our

best to meet everybody's convictions.

In the Kingdom. We become one with the true and

living God. So there is only one promised

Kingdom that will and can have sanity in the last days.

Well here what? What do you mean sanity?

Pastor? You cannot have true peace in a

double mind. So you cannot find true peace in

a double minded world. So the battle is going to be and

Ephesians 4 says this, the battle for the church in the

last days is going to be unity. So what he gave me a little

insight on He says this in Revelations.

Accuser of the Brethren is a spirit, right he?

Tells us the Antichrist we we speak to all of these things,

right? But watch this.

What I realize is hearts whacking.

Waxing cold is not going to immediately be your heart waxing

cold towards Jesus. It is going to be our heart

waxing cold. The love he says waxes cold.

Watch this breathe towards each other.

You can see it on social. Media right now.

We throw each under the bus. The world is just looking at us.

Just. Turn on each other.

What's the Bible say? A house divided or a Kingdom

divided cannot stand. So what we have to be in?

Watch this. Watch how vast the blessing is.

Disunity or division brings a great fall.

Watch this Unity commands the blessing.

You know what the enemy don't want you to walk in is the what?

Not just the blessing, the commanded blessing because when

God commands something that happened, meaning you didn't

work for it to happen. It was commanded because you

stood. It is, it cannot be reversed.

So the greatest blessing we can all walk in, the greatest

insurance of a blessing is one that is produced by God through

the unity of his people. So it doesn't matter what we are

divided over. So one of the hardest things to

do is for you and I to have differences, but never talk the

differences out, right? Say marriage.

So what we have to understand man, this has been a a a since

the beginning plan. Watch this Genesis God gives

Adam a word, the enemy begins to talk to the one that don't have

the same word. So there's a fight for you

across the body. We need to more than ever stand

with each other and for each other.

Watch this cover each other and let God deal with the broken

pieces. The question is not.

The question is, do I trust God to do what He said He'll do

right? It was not watch this.

It is not Jesus job. I got to say this very careful.

It was not Jesus Job to save us. It was Jesus job to die that we

might be saved. It was on the Father's heart to

save us. Jesus said OK daddy I got you.

Watch this. But it's not complete until man

believes. So God can provide, He can love,

He can give his blood, He can command blessing.

But until you and I decide to believe that God can, God did,

and God will, we will not see what God has finished.

So our job is to fight for the Word, fight.

We're unifying around the word of God so we can see God

intervene in our differences. That's why Jesus said let's

simplify all of this. Love.

And then when you fail that love, guess what?

You do get back up and you keep trying and you keep growing and

you keep healing and you keep, but you don't give up.

So today I told the first experience, Natalia, I'm if I'm

not preaching nobody, I'm preaching myself today.

But because here it is, here it is.

Watch this. There's thousands.

Somebody said to me in the back, they said a lot of pastors quit,

a lot of leaders quit rather that's through falling or

whatever because there's not much watch this AT there's not

much vulnerability from the platform.

But when I look at the anointing of the Apostle Paul, he led with

vulnerability. Why, why, Why is this word for

me? For one, I know it's for you

because it's for me and because I try.

To choose to be a carrier of the burden of the heart of God, then

I know sometime what he's asking me to carry is because it's.

He's carrying some of your burden, meaning there's some

things that you're going through that he then allows me to

experience so I can communicate his heart about it.

OK. I will be transparent and will

speak for thousands of leaders across the world.

It's getting very hard. For leaders, there's some things

I'm going to say in this experience I didn't say before,

but man, we have to pray for those who choose to do God's

will and the families. Let me tell you something.

I was blessed to watch Pastors Carrie, but I can't tell my

wife. I can only have compassion from

her so far about being pregnant because I ain't carrying no

baby. You know the guys, you know, I

think some wise behaving with me and be like we was pregnant.

Now there's a part of it. We was because I had to deal

with stuff and she had to deal with stuff and we was but

nothing but we wasn't pregnant like she was pregnant.

I can. Never relate.

So the greatest way I can conjure up the the energy and

proper support is to do my best to understand her walk and the

price that she's paying for what she's carrying.

If I'm like, girl, get your what you mean you ain't cooking or

what you mean you don't want to go to the store, You always go

to the store. But right now things have

changed because that's why we need seasonal eye adjustments

because the PR leaders and even within you like a three month

pregnant is different than a 8 month.

You get what I'm saying? Ask her.

It gets heavier the longer you wait.

We cannot show grace in the week.

Watch this. You cannot show more grace in

the beginning because you're excited.

You know, you got to. Oh, we packed it.

Babe, can you pick that up for me?

I can't. I can't bend over.

I can't bend over. Oh, it gets different.

Why? Because the weight has produced

a fatigue, it has produced watch this a need for me to need you

more and it's not my job to communicate to you at 8 months

how bad it is. Watch this if you had eyes to

see I'm pregnant. So This is why we need ears to

hear. OK, so I need to understand that

grace is most vital in the distance.

Yeah. Some of you write it down.

Write it down. The race is not given to the

swift. A relationship is not or loyalty

is not based on the the elementary days.

The the the marriage is the people be like getting over the

honeymoon phase right there. The honeymoon is great.

Sometimes you ain't excited about the honeymoon because of

who you with. Sometimes you about excited

about the honeymoon because. Where y'all at?

I'm in Hawaii. I'm in Hawaii.

I'm on the beach, right? I'm more, if you pay attention,

I'm more excited because when the honeymoon is over, I'm with

Julia. Am I still excited?

Right? Five years from now, when

marriage is attacked, am I still as excited about them vows?

Right. It, it, it's, it's can you

sustain grace for the length of the covenant?

Right, right. Parental.

No, No, no, no, no. I don't stop parenting at 18.

I got to grace to parent you at 35.

It may look a tiny bit different, but I'm still parent.

Right. So I will say today, guys.

A part of the wind. Blowing in the body of Christ.

It's harvest time. Things are being.

Exposed and all these, these aren't new words, but also what

I realize is and and and we've said this before, but I'm saying

this in a different way. Relationships are being

adjusted. OK, watch it.

It doesn't mean relationships are being severed.

They're just being contextualized.

I said to somebody in the back, I don't know, maybe it was my

wife. I was like in this hour, I need

some and all of us need some soldiers that will fight.

You know, when you you know, you complain about your Mama and see

your friends, but then when your friends complain about your Mama

to you, you like bro, you better stop talking about my Mama,

right? That's kind of like that kind of

it's just like, you know, but when it come push come to shove,

I'm boxing for you, right Then nobody say nothing about you.

No, you, you my friend, right? There's this.

My kids can get on my nerves. Say something about them.

Look at your neighbor. Say say something.

Say something right? Watch this.

Watch this. We're not defending the faith if

we're not covering each other, OK?

OK, Duh. We fall short.

That's what Jesus said. Duh.

That's why I'm coming to cover you.

So today we got I'm encourage you hopefully, but I'm just

going to talk to myself. OK?

So if I have a praise break, you can join me or you can watch me.

OK. But in this hour, and this has

been a while, I don't I don't come into this point.

I didn't come to this point where.

I think a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago or so or whatever it

was, I asked, is there anybody in the room feel like, you know,

you've been making some progress, but you just feel

still feel like it's something not right.

Like remember that whole one step forward to say remember

that. Remember that there's no two

step backwards. It may be a pause, but there's

no, no backwards motions in the in the things of the Lord.

And So what I do understand is the enemy works on.

You over time somebody say chip away.

Right. And So what I do understand he

works over time, but it intensifies in, in, in divine

transitional times, right? Because the only thing he could

do about God's progression or transition is to delay it,

right? So there's promise.

But if I'm in the wilderness murmuring, complaining, it's

taken way more days than it should have.

But you got me focused on the wrong thing.

So what? I do know the wind is blowing,

but, but, but the enemy is going to be blowing in things that

could distract. And if they distract, they will

delay. Whoever it is, take take it, but

we need in this. Hour to identify the covenants

that we are called to watch this and not every covenant is a

homie watch this. So therefore we need to identify

the relationships we're called to fight for.

OK, OK, OK. Me and you may be going through

something in this hour. I need to find out if God's

calling me to fight for us because this is an hour of

fighting in rest. So I need to figure out where

I'm where, where I'm using my swings because.

Because the enemy wants you to weigh swings.

OK, What'd he do now? When the fight really happened,

you already burnt out. OK, You tired?

OK, The topic of today is live. I have to remind myself as I lay

on the pillow, and some of you may have, and I've heard stories

and I've talked to people, You are fighting for your soul

wealth in this hour, right? Right.

I've watched some of you get just ready to give up.

I don't want to say no names, but you know who it is.

We have come over the mountain. I've been in some valleys with

Lily and the sea air come out front and know that she's on the

other side of it, right, right. Every single person that you

would consider a core or clothes or whatever.

You see the posture because we have went.

There's not one person that I have not been in a valley

Natalia. We have been in some moments,

but the beauty of getting to the other side.

Watch this God divinely ordained us to fight for us and the

reward for fighting for us that makes us stronger for any

battles we got to go through down the line.

Watch this because when you're called to battle with somebody,

you can't be questioning if you trust them right?

When I'm in a fight, when I go to my corner, I can't be

questioning if my trainers is telling me the right thing.

So the enemy wants to get you to question who you're called to

walk with. It happens in marriage.

See, we, we've been here great. Like we, we, we've been here,

JT, we've been men's, we men's, Men's don't apologize to each

other. Men's don't repent.

Men's don't cry to each other. I've cried with him, I've cried

with him. I've cried with him.

I've cried with him a lot of times.

I've cried with you, P Dill. I've seen his tears like, like,

like, like. There is nothing more powerful

than getting to the other side no matter what relationship

you're in. You got to ask yourself, is this

worth fighting for or is this worth being right about?

Look, if the goal is right, then the goal ain't fight.

Watch this. I rather have a fight harvest

than a right harvest. That's this.

John, John. John.

John. John 1010 The thief comes only

in order to steal and kill and destroy.

He didn't say the thief came to steal or kill or destroy this

brother trying to take you out. So here's the here's the here's

the plan of it all. He wants to steal and he wants

to kill and he wants to destroy. No return.

But the other side of it is I came that they may have and

enjoy life. Somebody say have and enjoy.

Watch this. They came to.

He came to that we might have life, but not just have it, not

just cope, not just manage. He came that we enjoy life.

Watch this. This ain't a life we're

searching for. There's a life of joy that he

has already provided. There's a way that produces this

life. Watch this.

My wife and I would not have the joy we have.

We would not know each other like we know each other.

We would not have the patience. We would not have the no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

If we did not get to the other side of the battle, it says

Inhabit, somebody say obtain it secure.

It. Right, make his minds OK, get

rooted in it. Have it in abundance.

Why do I need the abundance? Because I should be overflowing

to a point that when I'm around people that don't have it, they

got it because they with me who got it.

So I can be around the depressed and because I'm flowing in

abundance of joy, when they come around me, they gonna get joy

'cause I'm overflowing. Somebody say overflow.

Somebody say overflow, right. You hear something about famous

people or rich people when they walking around like somebody who

had like you hear shacks talk about it like man, I got all

this money and I don't got nobody to share it with.

Now he got people to share it with, but he now walking around

the house by yourself. That's what the Bible say.

What is the profit then to lose the whole you don't got no what

is overflow for so you can share it.

Watch this because everybody don't have the means to get

abundance. Everybody not don't watch this.

Everybody don't get the word you got.

So watch this. God ain't asking you to take the

word to the people he called you to as much as he's asking you to

take the fruit from the word. And then they ask him, where can

I get the fruit? And then you point to the word,

right, you shall be my witnesses.

The world needs to see fruit. They only know fruit.

They don't know word Why? Because it is spirit and those

without the spirit don't understand the natural man

cannot understand spiritual things.

So why God wants to prosper you in all three parts of your life

is so that you have fruit for those that God is bringing to

your table to feast off of. And pretty soon they going to

say, where can I, I bought some fruit down the street at the

other market. But I man, have you ever tasted

different fruits from different markets?

And you like like man, I went man.

And then certain markets you just like where your farmer at,

like where you get them grapes from.

Like I meant, I went to TNT for the don't, don't shoot me down,

don't shoot me down. I went to I went to TNT for the

first time a couple weeks ago. Don't shoot me down.

Don't shoot me down, man. They got the nerves that had

these like $25 grapes. I'm like, I'm a consumer.

I'm like, they must be good. Like somebody.

I'm going to think better when I eat these grapes.

Right. No, no, no, no.

But I bought these other grapes. And they were.

Luscious and I just heard my wife like babe, here's what

here, babe, it's not great. It's not season.

It's not the season for grapes, but I'm like it feels like

there's it's always in season at TNT.

Great, right. We got to sell that.

We got to sell that. We got to we got to put PJ in

the commercial. It's not season and it's always

in season at TNT. Hey, no.

But but there is a difference in fruit.

Just because you got grapes don't mean they good.

Just because you got fruit don't mean it's beneficial, right?

You might have houses, cars, clothes and all that, but the

people that people that God has called to your table don't need

that, right? If all you hang around is

wealthy people and you wealthy yourself and the people you hang

around don't need the fruit of wealth, you you hanging around

wealthy people who need to see joy but you depressed.

They need to see peace. But you anxious.

You just as worried about the stocks and what's happening as

they are versus God putting you at the table with other wealthy

people and other like minded. You can be like minded and not

like spirited. What's the difference at the

table, right? You ever have a potluck and

everybody bring something different?

You ever notice the thing that don't get ate?

How do you don't nobody know who bought it, but how didn't that

get eaten And, and and and the fact is it wasn't a lot eaten,

so somebody who did eat it told everybody.

Watch this. I don't.

I don't know if it's you in here, but whatever.

Don't eat that potato salad. Don't eat that potato salad.

All right? Why'd you put that in potato

salad? Right.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Right.

Or or the fruit like there's different levels of produce and

that. Level of produce.

A part of it is the soil from which that produce was produced.

Understand this isn't just about fruit.

Watch this EJ. Here's the word.

Thank you, Holy Ghost. I love rocking with the Holy

Ghost. Because he's just like here.

You're going to need that. I'm like.

OK, gotcha. Let me give it to you.

All right, OK, Holy Ghost. He said you're not just here to

be fruitful, you're here. And that fruit will remain.

Fruitfulness and fruit remaining is different.

This is why it doesn't matter if there's a lot of people in the

church. How many remain?

It's it's not about how many take notes, how many transform

lives, how many rooted people in Jesus, how many disciples are

being produced, how many people watch this, stop wavering fruit

that remain watch this. You can be fruitful all the days

of your life, but never have fruit that remain.

Money can keep buying you fruit. But what?

This is what Jesus said, Lord, I was.

Faithful to the ones you gave me.

Do. You notice he didn't say Lord, I

preach the thousands, he said the 12 you gave me.

Watch this Peter denied him. One time 2, time 3.

Time. What did he do?

I was faithful over the one you gave me even.

When I returned. I still blessed him, I still

multiply this fish till the end. Jesus was shepherding till the

end. He was evangelizing when where

we learned it last week He was on the cross and he said hey

buddy, you coming with me today? He was soul winning on the

cross. He was pastoring when he stopped

by and told them the Great Commission he was doing the work

of the ministry until he. Got up out of here.

What's this? He did not bring me out of the

grave to live. Average.

Can I encourage somebody? He did not bring me out of the

grave to live average. Come on, Come on.

One more time. He did not bring me out of the

grave to live average. Look at your neighbors.

Say nothing average about you. Come on, come on.

I told him. I told him this morning, like,

wait a minute. Like, OK, if I asked, if I asked

you your story. It ain't nothing average about

your story, right? Lazarus coming out of the grave,

days of average was over. He cannot even walk around town

without being like, oh, wait, homie was dead.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Homie was dead. Now the story, the plot has

shifted. The story has changed, the

narrative has been upgraded. There is nothing average about

you when you went from blind to now see, lost, now found, dead,

now alive. There's nothing average about

you. There's nothing average about

the call of God on your life. There's nothing average about

the way you think. There's nothing average about

your gift. God did not graze you from the

dead for you to hide and live Average.

Come on, encourage yourself. Encourage yourself.

Say I'm not average, I'm not average.

Come on, there's nothing average about me.

Tell your neighbor. There's nothing average about

you. There's nothing mediocre about

you. He didn't bring me out of the

grave to live average. I've seen too much.

I've made it through too much. I've overcome too much.

Watch this. At bare minimum, I got to be

above average for my grandmama who mouth was shut.

I'm not just being more than average.

For me, there are people who have been oppressed who never

have the opportunity I have. What am I going to do with what

God has given me? There are people who never came

close to the opportunities you have.

Watch this. There are people who never came

close to getting the words you get, what you are called to do

with the words you get versus people across the world who

can't even get a Bible or death. I'm not just not average because

of me, but what man, I think about this all the time, what

God had to do and move and shake to get me to this point in my

life. Do you know the people who have

to die for me to get here? Do you know the people who have

to live to get here? Did you know the people who have

to say no to get me here? Do you know the the people who

have to pass on dreams to get me here?

Do you know the people who had to fall and get back up to get

you here? All that it took to get you

here? The.

Enemy would love for you to be passive with your life.

No, my kids will not inherit passive.

Watch this. He did not form me, so my life

could never take shape. Right there, at what point it

came a point in my life where I had to say, OK, BT enough is

enough. Let some things take shape.

Take shape in your life. It is what it is.

Leave that behind. Leave that behind.

Step into this and let your life begin.

Man. The things that are happening,

and I'm talking about stuff that ain't all shiny and I'm talking

about some amazing things that God is putting in position for

my life and for my family's life, the years that it has

taken. Watch this to take shape, to

take shape to take form. There's there's some doors and

some tables God is bringing me into and I look back even 2

years from from now. Watch this.

I wasn't ready to walk in that room knowing who I was.

I would have walked in that room with no voice, but only an ask.

Now I know who I am. I know what God has uniquely

called me to do. So now when I walk into an

opportunity, I'm coming with an offering, not a proposal.

But a couple years ago, even a year ago, I wasn't ready.

These are some things that are opening up that I've been

pleading with God in my heart about for over 10 years.

But watch this, I wasn't ready. I thought I was.

And then God so graciously sends a word before these doors open

and I have no clue they're about to open.

And God sends a word, a part of the.

Word. You've read it right.

A part of the Word was God's about to sit you at this massive

table? Lord, forgive me if I'm being

like Joseph and I'm about and I'm sharing.

Some stuff with some. Ears they're not ready to hear,

but God's about to got to about to bring you to a table, but but

but there was a time you wasn't ready for it.

God's returning you to some places, he said.

Watch this, the word said and your immaturity showed, but God

was gracious to put you at the table.

You've always wondered why certain doors closed and you've

always pledged your mind with did I do something wrong?

Because I would just, you know, I'll always take it as

rejection, like I didn't get this door open.

So it was something I did wrong always.

And it was nothing you did wrong.

It just was not time. There's places that God has

allowed you to taste and see. Oh watch this.

David was anointed for a nation, not a sheep.

OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. But after anointed, where did he

go? Back to tending?

And a lot of times we have those empowered, those powerful

encounters we got, and the encounter says we ready.

No, the encounter is not a sign you are ready.

An encounter is is a sign that God is ready.

God is ready to now handle you. So after the encounter, get

ready for molding. Get ready for shaping, get ready

for perfecting. No, it watch this.

It ain't mantle then assignment. It's normally mantle back to

last assignment, back to the thing, right?

The anointing came to refresh you so you can go back and do

the old thing with a refreshed mind.

The anointing was not to leave the previous assignment.

Now you got to go back to the previous with the oil.

Now the oil is that test right? I'm not anointed for next.

I'm anointed for God to handle me right.

He has now come upon me graciously to sit for a while.

Sometimes you are not anointed to move, you're anointed to sit

still. Watch this.

But the prophetic will get you antsy.

This is how God trains you to Stewart the word.

He will impregnate you. Now can I trust you or now are

you going to make the baby in your?

Womb. An idol my ministry it's time

it's I've done it. I thought I was ready because

God put me in a position to grow.

No yes me and my wife was anointed Yes we had fruit yes

fruit was remaining Yes we were excited yes we had vision yes we

had logos yes we but but get get No, no, no, that's the test

Watch this. It's anointing and then normally

we got a little season where we're willing to chill.

The true test is when the temptation to transition comes.

Can't watch this. Can you sit when everything is

pulling you away? Watch this because my problem

was I was multi gifted by God. Watch that, not by training, but

by God. So God just flooded me OBD you

could do this and you could do that.

You got vision, you a leader, you people, you have influence.

And then we stepped out and guess who I drug?

I drug my family into that. Now here's the beautiful part,

guys. But I've matured to not use it

as an excuse that he'll work it all together.

For my good. Sometimes we use that as an

excuse that he'll. Turn it around.

Watch this. He will, but you still got to

let him. You still get back to the test

of trust and the test of patience.

He says let patience have it's perfect work.

That sounds like long time watch because in the end, that's not

like a long time. Let patience have it's perfect.

What does perfect work work mean?

It means complete watch. This patience has an assignment.

It's not just about waiting, but God is giving patience an

assignment in your. Life.

And so we have to go through seasons.

Watch this. David was anointed king, but

after that he had to be anointed a couple more times before he

was ever anointed for the nation.

Watch it. He was anointed 3 times.

The first he was anointed for a nation and then he was anointed

or approved by men. So although David was anointed

to be king of a nation, he had to 1st use the anointing to be

king or to be shepherd. Then he had to be king or leader

over a province. How are you handling the

anointing and the encounters? Because guess who else know?

You anointed. Watch this.

You know the Kingdom of Hell. Use Whitney Houston.

Right, It's all kind of people like guess who knows?

Guess who else know if I can just get a hold of their oh if I

could just get them like a ship, If I could just get them to go a

tiny bit off course. It don't take much to get you in

a whole nother continent. If your ship just turn just a

little, just a little bit. Watch this and many times you

don't even notice, right? It's like floating in the water

in the ocean. That's why I don't do it.

I don't do it. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't put the raft on. No, no, red, no you.

That raft is not for me. No, no, no.

Watch this. I'm not turning my back.

Watch this. You don't notice the drift?

Watch this. This is why God puts skippers

over your soul. I'm not talking about a baseball

coach. So I put captains shepherds.

To watch Souls, Lydia. How many sheep have been killed

on your clock? One was killed.

Two got sick. How many dead?

OK, you got three died on you, all right?

No, all right. One was killed.

One was killed. OK, the other two was exposed to

some poison before they got to y'all.

Amen. Amen.

Right here. Here it is.

Every sheep that died. They're not even like, like if

you guys knew the story, it ain't like they came.

They did not come out here. That's their own testimony.

They could tell they didn't come out here to be farmers.

They they didn't even move into this property to be farmers.

They just stumbled into something.

And sometimes you'll call you just stumble in.

You're like, whoa, how did I get here?

But because you stumbled in don't mean you're not called to

stand in, right? And So what you have to

understand is every sheep. I don't even know.

We ain't even. Talked about it, right?

We only talked about the death toll.

OK, right. OK.

Watch. I'm sure every sheep that died

cause you to be a little bit more watchful.

So as you do this thing you begin to see coyotes tendencies

right? You cannot become a Good

Shepherd without losing sheep. You're not a Good Shepherd

because you saved all from being dead.

You're a Good Shepherd based on how you tended to the ones who

were alive after ones died. Are you growing as a shepherd?

This is why the enemy would like for you to be wounded by death

or transition versus growing and becoming a better shepherd, a

better leader, a better wife, a better husband.

The better thing to do is just quit or leave.

Are we contending? Watch this.

Here's the story David had when he faced his biggest giant.

What gave him the confidence to fight Goliath is his story about

killing a lion and a bear who attacked his sheep.

Watch this you are not tending if you are not warring.

He did not breathe himself and his Kingdom in you, so you can

blend. In come on, tell yourself I'm

different. In Genesis 2, then the Lord God

formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his

nostrils the breath and spirit or spirit of life, and man

became a living being. Watch God's order, he forms,

then he breathes. Watch.

Doesn't it tell you he forms? So there's a season where he is

molding, forming, purging, and then the wind blows and man

became, I'm talking to some people in here.

You're about to become, come on, you're about to become what God

was forming is about to be filled with his spirit and his

life and you are about to become, come on, Somebody say he

formed it. Now he's breathing into it.

Lord, breathe into my cave. Somebody say Breathe into my

cave now is there? Anybody in here ever been in a

cave? In a dark place, in a isolated

place, in a secluded place? See a pit somewhere, A prison,

however you want to slice it? A pantry with no lights on?

Whatever you want, whatever you want to say.

But you've been somewhere. The Cave God sends his breath

into caves. That he sends his breath into

caves. He sends his breath into caves.

Breathe into my cave, Lord. I woke up this morning.

I'm like, Lord, breathe into The Cave in my soul.

Breathe into me, Lord, I need your life.

Come on. Let that be your prayer right

now. Lord, breathe into my situation.

Breathe into my dark spaces. Breathe into my cave.

Breathe upon me. Lord, watch this.

Watch this. David gives us some strategy,

not just a testimony. David says this JTI stand

silently. Here's what I understand.

Over the years, it was very dangerous to make a decision

after I've been hit. Sometimes you got to take a

punch. Don't even say that was a good

one. Let that punch drop you to your

knees and stand silently. Punch, slap, kick, it don't

matter, he says. I stand silently.

I'm telling you, watch this Silence without moving is a

weapon. What do I mean moving The the,

the Fed up, the emotional part of it makes you move.

I don't mean you just move with your feet and literally move.

Sometimes you move. Watch this.

Have you ever made a decision in your mind?

You know what I'm saying? Like it.

Once you got it fixed in your mind, it was what it was, right

And then some. It's like when you make your

mind up somebody in the house that you didn't invite, you walk

around the house like somebody would in the house.

So the fact that you have made-up your mind that that

noise indicates that there might be someone in this house.

I move different. So you have to be careful with

what you make up in your mind without clarity.

So, so, so, So what God is telling me here is that that

Terrence, watch this before you make your mind up about a thing.

Shut up and let me. No, no, no.

This don't mean don't run your mouth only this means silence

the noise. Here, watch this like David and

keep moving as though you believe what I say.

OK? Stay.

Then silently watch this. I'm going to go up on the watch

and I'm going to wait on the Lord to hear what he would have

me to do about the calamity. He showed me Habakka saying

Habakka says this. He says, Lord, why are you

showing me all of this? He said.

Here's what I'm going to do. About the burden of the Lord and

about all the craziness I see. I am going to go up on the watch

and I'm going to wait on the Lord.

And then the Lord says, write the vision down.

Make it plain, right? He What he didn't do is fill in

the blank himself. His emotions did not write the

check. His opinion did not write the

check. He waited on the Lord and let

God fill in the blank. Watch this David Oprah depress.

At this point he loses everything and he says.

Lord, shall I pursue? Now, let me tell you if somebody

called me right, JT, if you call me right now and was like, hey,

Malecon, Micah and Malia and PJ, somebody just went in the house

and they just ran off with your family.

And it looks like your house on fire.

Now I would like to think I would say, Lord, what would you

have your servant do? But nine times out of 10, I

would say where they at? OK, meet me over.

Here's what David says. Shall I?

Pursue. Watch this, he said.

God, my response is in your hands, although it's my watch

this Jesus, John the Baptist imprisoned Jesus.

I'm sure he asked the same question.

Father, should I go visit him? You don't think when Jesus got

the news John the Baptist was dead, his cousin that Jesus

didn't cry. Let me tell you this.

If Jesus presence in, in, in, in his mama's womb, 'cause John to

leap in his mama's womb, they had to have a connection.

So if Jesus was able to cause John to leap in his mama's womb,

womb to womb life, I know when John took his last breath, Jesus

felt something. If he had the power to give

life, he also had the power to know when that same life left.

But he said no. So, so, so when Lazarus died,

they said, well, if you would have hurried up, we wouldn't be

in this situation. I stand silently.

There's a temptation to say something.

There's a temptation to complain.

There's a temptation to fill in the blank.

There's a temptation to write the check.

There's a temptation to temptation.

And he says I stand silently to listen.

For the one I love, I love 4 instead of 2.

I don't know, just 4 Sounds like there's a lot of noise.

I'm listening for the one voice. I just didn't make my mind.

I'm just going to listen to the voice because I understand

counterfeit voice, right? Bible tells us about that, but

he says I'm listening for the voice because here's what I do

know. Here's what I do know.

Hallelujah talk Holy Ghost. When I'm listening for the

voice, it also implies there's a lot of noise.

But God ain't always saying something.

Watch this, EJ God ain't anxious like us.

Jesus didn't rush to Lazarus. So I'm waiting for the presence.

Not just for presence. I'm waiting for the voice

because I know God's going to let the enemy talk first, right?

Because this is the way the enemy talks.

He's noisy. So what he does is flood you.

It's watch this. It's like watch this.

He talks trash. But it's also like, like, like,

like branding in the world. People pay for a commercial to

keep on going because the more you hear it, the more you get

faith it's the best for you. So when I go in the grocery

store and I see 30 deodorants, I'm like, uh, this Old spice.

I remember the man, half man, half horse guys, you know, I'm

talking about, right? I Remember Remember the one

little spray that's like. Teenager deodorant.

See. See what I'm saying?

So I guarantee you teenagers kept them rich, right?

So what the enemy does, enemy doesn't give you truth, he

advertises suggestions. And the more, the more you

become open to the watch. This faith comes by hearing and

hearing the word of God over and over and over.

Faith comes by hearing, period, whether it's from God or the

devil. Faith comes by hearing the word

or faith comes by hearing the lie.

Faith comes by hearing the suggestion Eve over and over and

over and over. And This is why he said, shut

off the lie. And submit and wait for me to

deliver you the truth. So stand silently to listen for

the one I love waiting as long as it somebody say as long as it

takes. This is the hour we're in.

God's going to give you a burst. He's going to give a refreshing.

He's going to do that. But you have to make up your

mind in this last hour. That you are going to be willing

to wait as long as he takes or it takes for the Lord to rescue.

Me, for God alone has become my savior.

He alone is my safe place. His wrap around presence always

protects me, for He is my champion defender.

There's no risk of failure with God.

No risk. Somebody say no risk.

There's no risk of failure with God.

Watch this. So why would I?

Why would I let worry paralyze me?

Even when troubles multiply around me.

So he's telling me that there's a piece available.

Natalia, There is a piece available when chaos surrounds

you. Do you know the?

Peace and the poise that Jesus had in the Garden of Gethsemane

to be like, Nah, put that ear, ear back on, put that, put that

back on, put that, put that ear back on.

Watch this. And he healed him to where there

was no evidence that he was struck.

So what's this? So while he's being persecuted,

he's also doing the work. No, brother, you come to kill my

Savior, you get your ear cut off.

Jesus wasn't like. That's my dog Peter Desk.

I lie. That's my dog.

Watch this. This is what Jesus said.

That's. Not how I trained you.

That kind of reaction is not one that represents my love.

When he gets up, his brother was doing ministry the whole time.

Then the Bible says he didn't say a word when he was being

carried around. But look at these who want me

dead, shouting their vicious threats at me.

The moment they discover my weakness, they all begin

plotting to take me down. Liars, hypocrites, with nothing

good to say. All their energies are spent on

moving me from this exalted place.

Pause in His presence. And then he repeats it in verse

five. I am standing in absolute

stillness and silence. Watch this so why would I worry?

He repeats it again so it must be important for us to get why

would I worry or let worry paralyze me.

Verse eight trust only in God every moment tell him all your

troubles and pour out your heart longings to him.

Believe me when I tell you he will help you.

Come on, shout it out. He will help you.

Zachariah says he He said I released you.

We read this this morning. So go back and look at it.

He I have released and sent forth your imprisoned people out

of the waterless pits. Thank God for the releasing.

Watch this, he said out of the waterless pit.

In other words, the drought, the dry days is over.

Watch this, verse 12. Return to the stronghold of

security and prosperity. You prisoners of hope.

Somebody say I'm a prisoner of hope.

Watch this. Even today do I declare that I

will restore? Double I receive that, don't

encourage myself. I will I I will restore double

see for those who like just think God has been done or what

you watch this everything was not stolen.

Some stuff was sown even if somebody stole it.

Bible talks about when the thief steals yet, right?

Count that as seed or you could be offended about it.

But man, man, there's some stuff been stolen in my life.

I was like Hallelujah in the name of Jesus.

That is a seed. When it's a seed, the

declaration is different over what was stolen, right?

It protects my heart. It is a seed.

So the reason God is able to double it is because what was

stolen was sown your former prosperity to you see?

See, this is what I'm excited about.

I'm not just standing for words that was spoken about me.

I'm also standing for words that was spoken about my grandmama

and my Mama and people in my life who never walked in the

fullness for whatever reason. And so I can't be average when I

got a responsibility to pull harvest, not just from what's

coming. I don't have a responsibility to

watch this to just step into a harvest.

I have a responsibility to pull a harvest right for whatever

reason that certain family members did not walk or certain

churches that came into this community or minute, whatever

the case may be, you're not just standing and making decisions

for you. The blessing of Abraham is upon

me. We read that this morning,

powerful scripture about faith and how the promise that we

inherited through Abraham's faith requires the same for you

to believe. There is the blessing of

Abraham, the blessing of. Abraham, you know what I'm

saying? No, no, no, no.

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Watch this, He simply says. It is a simple promise.

Stop making it difficult. It's simple.

Watch this and no one can break it.

God has not changed about what he promised.

Oh, that was so powerful. That was so powerful.

I'll read the, the the the the 17.

Well, we'll call Abraham father not because God got God's

attention by living like a St. You you didn't.

Get this blessing because you was living like a St.

But because God made something out of Abraham when he was a

nobody, that's the good news. That's the good news.

That's what we tell ourselves. That's what we tell the world.

Man, even while you are nobody, even while you live in his sin,

God has already prepared a blessing for you.

Watch this because you've made certain lifestyle decisions that

that'll mean that the promise was broken.

God don't. He's a promise keeper, not a

promise breaker. He said a sub, but it says when

everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway.

Somebody say it anyway. Come on, my grandma used to say

anyhow, right? Look, look, look, look, look.

Abraham believed anyway. Come on, say anyway, faith,

right? There's there's some

hopelessness that I'm feeling. There's some weariness I could

be feeling. But Abraham believed anyway.

Watch this. You don't just believe in your

head. Your your belief is the way it

was before hopelessness set in. I still remain faithful, Satan,

you can't change my posture because I still believe.

Deciding. Watch this and see that word.

I underlined it for you. Deciding.

Make a decision. Watch this.

I can have faith before a homeless, hopeless situation

turns around. I can still have faith.

Faith. It's not faith if it's right or

convenient. It's faith because I'm still

standing. I'm still postured, right, Even

though it ain't going my way. I'm still somebody say I'm still

standing. He couldn't do deciding to live

not on the basis of what he saw. Can I help a church right now?

Does the deciding to live not based on what he saw or what he

saw he couldn't do, but he decided his decision was based

on what God said he would do? That to him you're going to have

a big family, Abraham say. Big family Abraham did not focus

on his own impotence and say it's.

Hopeless this 100. Year old body he watch this.

He did not say it's hopeless. This 100 year old body could

never father a child. He did not speak death over his

self or his situation. Watch this or over his

relationship. With his wife.

He's showing you what faith is. A lot of us say we have faith,

but what's coming out of our mouth is war against what we

believe in. For Nor did he survey Sarah's

decades of infertility and give up Effie.

I like this one because he said. Nor did he allow himself to look

back and say I'm 100 years old and she ain't never been able to

have a baby. He didn't count what was, He

only counted what God can do right.

This is faith. When you remove all the

experience of what didn't happen, why it didn't happen,

your failures, your insufficiencies, and look at

what God if you ain't never had nothing go right in your life

for you, OK, Look at somebody who has had something go right

in their life and focus on what God did in their life, not on

what you failed at. He didn't tiptoe.

Watch this. He did not tiptoe around God's

promise, asking cautiously skeptical questions.

How many times we go to God asking skeptical questions?

What about? What if I told you, God don't

talk like that? He does not talk in any form of

doubt. The enemy we saw, we see how God

talked and how the devil talked. The devil talks like, well,

maybe you know, you never know. Maybe you should check it out.

The devil never tells you go get it right.

He always say watch this how you know what you what you think,

how you know that ain't going how you what you think is going

right. God says I don't entertain doubt

because my if God entertains doubt, then his word is not

sure. God talks like what did I say?

And then he just silent on you. For it is written feedback mic

drive. He did not tiptoe around God's

promise, asking cautiously skeptical questions.

Skeptical questions to God in the name of Jesus in the form of

prayer will always lead to a door open for suggestions not by

God Skeptical questions 2 got skeptical questions a skeptical

question is not a faith filled question all.

Right, all right, all right, all right.

And then he plunged. He plunged into the promise.

He plunged in. I don't know how we're going to

get out, but we plunged in. Say big God do big things one

more time. Big God do big things.

One more time, big God do big things.

Watch this Isaiah 26 at that time this song will be sung in

the country of Judah. We have a strong city, salvation

city built and fortified with salvation.

I love how God tells us to talk. We got strong city salvation

City built and fortified with salvation Throw.

Wide, throw wide, swing wide. The gate so good and true people

can enter in. Somebody say swing wide, watch

this, watch this with swing. I say Lord what you what you

what you mean throw wide. He says make room.

Watch this, watch, watch this. This means to open gates to

allow easy, easy access or passage for many people,

symbolizing freedom, welcome or an open invitation into a place

or state of being. So when he says my people open

the gates wide and make it easy for people to walk in, talk to

me somebody, he says, swing wide.

So many people can walk in and not just walk in.

Make it easy to walk in. Yeah, People with their minds

set on you, you keep completely whole.

Mind set on you, you keep completely.

Whole that's why I have to come encourage us today, because

there's an attack against your mind and when there's an attack

against your mind, it you you, it's an attack against your

wholeness. Right steady watch this on their

feet, he says. You, you, you people with their

mind set on you. You keep completely whole.

You keep them steady on their feet.

Ain't no wobbly. Wobbly ain't no, you know, just

Troy there. Just Troy there too.

Shut the door on the devil. Shut the door.

Hey, man, my bad. I had to do that one time.

I was jealous when y'all did that dance at the black box

party. I was jealous.

Hey, man. Hey, man.

Hey, man. Hallelujah.

Watch this completely whole, steady on their feet.

Watch this. This is why they're completely

whole, steady on their feet. Watch it, watch it, watch it.

They keep at it and don't quit. He gives perfect peace.

Who minds stays on him. This is the price.

Hey, hey, what God promised at the altar?

How is it 10 years from now when the relationship get rocked?

How is it still? Is it still right?

That same joy will get you through in five years, right?

Do not belittle the altar joy. The altar joy is when things get

attacked. What happens if you celebrate in

the storm of your covenant the same way you celebrate it when

you made covenant? If I can take your hand at the

altar before we accumulate ours together in a marriage now, five

years later, if I can find a praise in the storm with you and

we hold hands instead of holding knives, then we go see a

different response and God start moving.

Watch this. Sometimes it's not about things

changing now, it's about me adjusting to the storm and

putting a praise on it. Watch it and praise until the

winds shift. A lot of times what kills our

momentum is we need it to turn around now.

We need results now. Watch what Jesus did.

Jesus said while they still sinning.

Yet will I die for them while they're sinning?

So when they decide to change, hope and love will be waiting

for them. But Jesus didn't wait for you to

change to grab your hand. Watch this.

He grabbed your hand and showed you the change.

I'm talking to somebody. I'm talking to somebody.

He grabbed your hand and showed you the change.

He didn't say you can have my hand after you change.

What I I I believe that God never let my hand go whenever I

fell. Have you ever walked with a kid?

They fall even if your hand gets let go.

What you do now there is the age we'd be like you don't have to

get up, right, Right. You playing too much because

some kids would be like pick me watch this.

Some kids like being picked up right.

Their only source of security is when you just when I know you

holding me OK. But even when I fail, he never

let me go. So here's what the test.

Is. When it ain't going your way,

can you stay steady and keep going?

Can you get anointed and go back to tending sheep because they

keep at it and don't quit? Come on, encourage.

Yourself and say don't quit, watch this.

Come on. And don't quit, right?

I have a harvest of maturity because when I wanted to quit

three years ago or five years ago or eight years ago, I

didn't. When I realized I got off course

with God because I got in my own will, He still was like, but my

will is still available. All you need to do is switch

lanes. Somebody say switch lanes,

right. God has never closed the, the,

the the lane. He just saying get back into the

lane right now. Our problem is we like, well, if

I'm over here now, let me just ride it out.

No, no, no, no, no, no. He says those that are steady,

they keep at it and they don't quit.

Ask my wife. There's been a lot of OK, babe,

my mistake. You turn we going back or up.

I'm in the wrong lane, blinker. That's right.

What we doing. We keep moving AU turn you still

moving right, You just detouring right.

You just you'll be a fool if they if the if the navigating

tell you, the navigating lady tell you that you're going the

wrong way and you like well. I figure it out.

Let me turn her off. She get on my nerves.

Yeah, sometime I do that. I'll be like.

Turn that off. Watch it, depend on God and keep

at it, because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.

The only thing that's certain in the storm is the Lord.

My God is that sure thing. Come on, say my God, is that

sure thing? Come on, my God is that sure

thing. Come on, one more time.

That my God, is that sure thing. Here you go.

And after you have suffered a little while.

I love it. No, no, no.

Watch this. Watch this.

EJ. Suffering is not merely

something's not going my way. No, no, no, no.

Here's here's real Kingdom suffering.

I've done all that I could do right.

Watch this. Not all that I was willing to

do. I didn't go as far as I was

willing to go. No, no, no, no.

This is what we tell top athletes.

There's more in you. Like, dig deeper.

Like go to a place you've never gone before.

Give yourself a chance you've never given before.

Like, you know how many times Jesus could have fainted and

should have fainted before he ever got up on that cross?

But he's like, I got to make it to the cross, right?

And a lot of times we say I've gone as far as I can go.

Going as far as you can go is different than doing all that

you can do. I might not be able to move, but

I can still open my mouth and say I'm sorry, right?

I promise you, you can go farther.

I promise you can dig a little bit deeper.

You can pray a little longer. You can stand a little longer.

You can forgive another time. Watch this, watch this.

Oh so powerful, so powerful. Thank you Holy Ghost.

Thank you, Holy Ghost. If you have to forgive another

time with the same person, it was never forgiveness in the

first place. Watch what I'm about to tell you

because the way I read the scripture is when Jesus forgave

us, it was once and for all, not just all people, but He also

knew because in our humanity we may fail again.

So I had grace for your future failures.

So when you fall, although I may be hurt, I've already allotted

grace for this moment. Therefore, I have enough space

to battle with you. I get it.

We got to forgive, we got to say it again.

I get that stuff. But I'm speaking in a higher

level of mindset. When you truly forgive, you also

count their ability to do it again.

You're not saying they will do it again right?

Jesus not He didn't die for us. Just like man I know y'all going

to sin. I hope he's not hoping we sin.

He tells the woman sin no more but I'm sure he was in his head.

Like, yeah, she, she, she just fight.

This is why he says those that keep going so after you suffered

a little while, the God of all grace, who imparts all blessing

and favor, who has called you to his own eternal glory in Christ

Jesus will complete will himself somebody say God.

Don't do it. I love this part.

I love this part, Bri. He he said.

After I've suffered a little while, he himself will complete

and make me. What I ought to be he himself,

after I've done all that I can do, watch to see on after I

what's my part? Suffer well.

Suffer with love, suffer with good attitude.

No, no, no, didn't mean don't be frustrated.

Don't mean, but don't strike the rock, don't keep striking the

rock, don't, don't keep striking.

No, don't, no, don't, don't keep striking the rock.

Suffer well because God says then I am going to complete and

make you what you ought to be and establish and ground you.

Securely right watch this no wavering and strengthen and

settle. You.

That's the goal. I pray in the name of Jesus that

my family and your family, your children, your children's

children will inherit established ground and and

security and strength and a settled bloodline.

It is. Come on and say it's settled in

Jesus name, right? That our children will not

inherit anxiety, depression, judgmental spirit.

They will not know that my kids will inherit a sound mind.

My kids will inherit a loving heart.

My kids will inherit A prospering soul in the name of

Jesus. As much as you care about them

inheriting property and owning things, make sure your kids

inherit the character of God, the patience of the Holy Holy

Ghost, the kindness of the Holy Ghost.

You know how to talk to folk. You know how to wait on folk.

You know how to be patient. Our kids can inherit the fruit.

Of the spirit we will close with Joel 2 Hallelujah.

Do I got anybody anybody in here that's.

Grateful for the Lord. Come on, go back, go back.

Go back. Go back, go back.

Come on. Come on, man.

No, no, no, we, we need, we need some warriors, right?

I think it's going to be OK. I promise you it's going to be

OK. We need some soldiers that see

people in the in the fire and in the pit, right?

And understand the cop that it is your job to mature.

So when the wavering Saints come to you, you don't rock they boat

more. But you can what?

Come on, somebody say I am a stabilizer.

Come on, tell your neighbor you are a stabilizer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.

Watch this. If we in the storm together,

don't be mad at me. If I'm taking a nap, it is my

job to 'cause you, when you look at me in a storm, you are going

to see the peace of God. So when I look at you, I can't

see fear in this hour. I got to see peace in this hour.

I got to see joy in this hour. See what the enemy wants you to

do in this hour is come down. No, I'm not coming down.

For what? And that's what Jesus is mad

about. Man.

You woke me up out of my example.

If you understood why I was laying down, I wasn't

necessarily sleep. I'm sleep in the park that was

flooded. I know what's going on, but I

know the only way we going to make it to the other side is be

still and be silent. The boat already rocking and you

rocking it. We need to balance the boat out.

You're going to tip the boat over Now all you're over here

with me. We need everybody.

When I was watching the, the, the New Orleans Katrina, there

was one lady who said their family was in the house.

And the, as they're watching bodies and watching homes float

down the street, they can feel the foundation come off of the

like the house come off of the foundation.

They said everybody in the house at that moment had a job because

as the, the house begin to shift, they needed someone to

stand stable on that side. And when the house began to lean

that way, they needed somebody to stand stable on this side.

Watch this. We all in the storm.

Just because I'm I'm standing still don't mean I'm not afraid.

It don't mean that I'm not worried about getting my Mama.

It don't mean that I'm not worried about or get or what's

going through my mind is I might never see my children again.

You automatically assume because my response is not emotional

that I don't care. Or you assume you never consider

why I am emotional. I'm afraid you don't have the

eyes of grace to see we're all being attacked.

Have you ever considered that you can be used to stabilize me

or be used to cause me to tilt just a little bit?

Why do me and you need to be in a storm fighting?

Guess what fighting does? It's already unstable.

It's already dark. Y'all why we got to be dark in

the church? Why we got to be messy in the

church? Why we got to throw stones at

each other in the church? It's already dark, it's already

scary. People already losing their

lives. The world already don't know

they weigh. Why do we got to be this

unified? Why do we got to throw stone?

Why do we got to look at each other's faults?

The world's already looking at our faults.

Cover each other. Go to somebody and say, how can

I help you? Have you ever thought you was

brought to this church to help? And sometimes you ain't called

to help how you want to help. So the disruption sometimes is

you laying down what you thought you came to help for.

You ever thought how hard it could be?

You ever thought that some of the things you concerned about

can be stabilized if you got stable.

And that's what the enemy wants to do.

He wants to take out the help. Watch this so the weight shifts

back. I was talking to somebody else.

He's like, you ever thought, yes, we're moving.

We ever thought that God may be designing the leader to move how

he move like Moses, but then the people who are called to walk

with the people are the ones who bring understanding to why

things are moving the way they move it.

But the enemy don't want you to have understanding.

He wants you to have assumption. But the people out there are

help to stabilize those that get scared in the storm.

No, no, no, none of this. You can't be like this ain't for

me. Guess what, it ain't for me

either. In one thing we say it's about

him, but quickly it turns to what?

What's convenient, inconvenient for us?

And in this hour churches all over the world got to deal with

it one way or another. There is no perfect church.

Some got the money right, but they don't got the love right.

Some got big churches but don't got equipment right.

You ain't equipping because you equipment for programs.

There's some people who are excellent at programs, but if

you put them in this alleyway, would they be able to bring

somebody to Deliverance? Would they be able to bring

somebody to Jesus? The work of the ministry ain't

really Sunday. Sunday is a net.

The work is out there. It's in your household, it's in

the schools, it's on the bus. It's it's, it's so the work of

the ministry is vast, but it's only for one reason.

It is to make disciples. When souls make disciples.

And we need man. My cry in this hour is that we

get we we actually get brothers and sisters with compassion for

each other and patience for each other and is willing to run the

race with their brother instead of switching lanes when it don't

be right. Like if I came in parts of your

life, I could probably say you ain't doing it right.

We're fighting against each other.

But he still won't stop the promise.

Threshing floors will be full of grain.

The pits beside the presses will overflow with new wine, some new

wine and fresh oil. I receive it in this hour.

New wine and fresh oil. New wine and fresh.

Oil and guess what new wine get? Guess what, Guess watch this.

Guess what new wine need. New wine needs fret New wine

scans. So you want to know why it's

been hard? Because God's been shredding.

He has been peeling you back, trying to give you new wine for

new wines, wine, new wine, skins for new wine, fresh oil and new

wine, new wine and fresh oil. I will make up the years the

swarms of the locusts ruin your harvest.

The hopping locust see on God is going to restore all the years

the locusts and the cankerworm has stolen.

Promise you that You know what? You know why?

Because you kept going and did not quit the destroying locusts

and the cutting locusts. My great army, watch this.

That I sent against you. Oh no, no, not the devil sent

that God allowed and sent against you.

That was that season. You will eat.

To your hearts content and be satisfied.

You will gloriously praise the name of Yahweh your God, who has

treated you so wonderfully. Watch this and never will my

people be despised again. Then Israel.

You will know without a question that I am dwelling among you.

I am Yahweh. Your God is coming to bless us

in such a way that He removes all the distrust, all the doubt.

There is going to be no. Doubt that he is God, I say

again. No more will I surrender my

people to shame the threshing floor spiritually.

Means a threshing floor symbolizes a place of

separation, purification, and judgment where the good is

distinguished from the. Bad.

Much like grain in separated from chaff, it is also a sacred

space for divine encounter provision.

And transformation, where God refines individuals, brings

about new life and prepares them for greater purpose.

It's. Time to eat.

The threshing floor is full, but also the threshing floor

represents separating Darnell from the good stuff.

This is a season of separation. This is a season of decision

making. This is a a season where it's

like, OK, do do I. Stand like I'm a stand.

I'm a wait on the Lord. I'm still.

It can be harvest time and waiting time, right?

It's it's it's, it's that time. And God has been faithful.

There's new wine because some of us have decided to put on new

wineskins. Here's a new wineskin.

It's capacity, right? It's hard to get new capacity in

old mindset. So what you have to understand

is while you're waiting for capacity, God is giving you the

the room to receive the new download.

I can't just get any hard drive and call.

And and and. Cord to connect to the laptop.

I need to have the proper connections for me to connect

external hard drive. So God is connecting.

He is purging, He is pruning, He is cutting, He is challenging,

He is proving, He is testing. Like God is God is allowed the

enemy to come sift you like we all these words have been given

to us. New wine, fresh oil.

Come on somebody come on, lift your hands right where you are.

New wine and fresh oil. I will stand and not quit.

I will be still and listen for you.

Lord, I'm going to take a second.

You just open your heart, refresh, win fresh fire, new

wine, new power, new levels of thinking.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

It's finished. It is finished.

I thank you, Lord. Watch this.

The Bible says old wineskins put new wine into old wineskins.

Does what causes it to burst Some of our frustration in this

season is because we've resisted watch this God transplanting new

ways of thinking. Therefore, when it came to

receive and carry the new wine, the the old wine skin, the old

way of thinking, the trauma, the the the old way of doing

whatever it may be right when God says new wine skin, that

means a whole new wine skin. It, it ain't thrifted and new.

No, it ain't fresh out the manufacturer and fresh out of

goodwill. No, no, no, that's not new IT.

Ain't new and used. And that's how some of us try to

do our old wise our wine. Skin we want new and used.

No, no, no. When God is giving you a new

wine skin, he is totally like if you ever are going to put on

wallpaper or things of that nature or or or a phone screen,

you're getting dust. Off of it.

Right. Any little bit of whatever

you're trying to hold on to is not good for new wine skin.

It leaves holes and gaps for things to seep in new ways of

thinking. Promise you it's OK to let go of

some things that worked for you in the past season.

So if you spent this last season resisting reform.

So pour your spirit out, Lord, You know who's ready, you know

you know who's not. But you have grace for the not

ready. You got grace for the ready.

Lord. Lord, you do all of that.

That's all your business. But Lord, we just cry out for

the remnant to be courageous and bold and unified and in love And

Lord, we we we we we we call on risk takers, people that's

willing to take a chance but still keep covenant.

Lord, when he left his friends. Out of the boat.

Even though he was sinking, you brought him back to the same

place. Lord, I think you do believe

you. You do.

You have given us divine relationships.

And the cool thing about you, Lord, is in those divine

relationships, we may not like everybody you picked.

We may have troubles along the journey, but Lord, it is not a

healthy bride if it's not a unified bride.

So my prayer in this hour is that you give us wisdom and you

give us patience, and we cultivate the a lot of Holy

Spirit that cultivate the fruit of the Spirit that we can cover

one another in this hour. Thank you and we shall live in

the blessing of Abraham, promise of our father have life.

And enjoy it to the full in abundance till it overflows.

So we say life come overflow, overflow, come on overflow.

Don't just fill us up, but overflow spill over in Jesus

name. Come on overflow.

Fill up everything around us in Jesus name.

Come on. Fill up everything around us in

Jesus name. Come on Lord, we thank You that

Your favor surrounds us like a shield in Jesus.

Name. It is done, it is well, it is

finished in Jesus name. Hey man, look at two people

around you and say Oh my God he is good.

Come on, look at somebody and say big God do big things.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. This Wednesday we are here.

Last Wednesday was our first Wednesday back after a couple

months. And so we're excited.

We got some excited people that we're back the time off from the

Wednesdays. I pray it was beneficial.

I pray you, you enjoyed your summer.

And this Wednesday we're back and then Friday night we are

we're, we're, we're in, we're in the marketplace.

We're, we're out there and we in the wild and we're going to go

shine some light and rub some shoulders and, and then we're in

Toronto the following week. It's pretty cool what's

happening out there. Just setting up some stuff with

people out there and we're doing a worship night, I believe the

Friday night. But this right here, just a few

of the relationships that I have out there and we have out there.

We'll have some local acts out there, some local hosts out

there and people are excited to receive us.

And so I'm super excited that we get to go out again to the

marketplace and get in the wild and prayerfully impact some

people's lives across this nation.

And so if you know family or friends in Toronto, let them

know. And if you want to know what's

going on, you can go to our yeah, Instagram.

But our table out there, our Get Connected table, yes.

And you can ask some questions or whatever the case may be,

please pray for us. We'll have some information

about the building next week and how that's going on.

I can tell you if it ain't one thing, it's another.

But I also. Understand.

One of the. Greatest pieces of rest I've had

over these last three and a half, four years is that God's

timing is so perfect. And when it don't make sense, it

takes the most faith. And what the enemy wants you to

do is come down off of your faith.

And you know, God builds a crowd, so he wants you to be

surrounded by doubters. He's gathering people at the

table. He wants people to question if

that's him. Right.

They did it with Jesus, if you really.

Are he he needs? That question before he arrives,

Jesus, why you didn't show up right?

It's never delay. It's all strategy.

And I'm happy because my wife and I and we did never quit.

So we learned ease of faith and what faith really looks like and

the flip side of faith, not just the harvest of faith.

So please stand with me and pray with me for God's going to

provide. But the scripture.

Says as long as it takes are. We going to believe the word or

not? So while we're.

Waiting. We're not going to change our

confession. We're not.

You know. You know, when the longer it

takes for dinner to get made, the kids start acting a fool

because they're getting restless, right?

It's not delay. I just need a few people.

To believe with me and stand with me and pray for US, my

wife, leaders of the community, but also pray for churches and

leaders across the world for everybody in this time.

There's some warfare going on. Those that are debt free in

their churches, those that got 1000 buildings it.

It don't matter who you are, there's warfare at every level.

And what every leader needs. Is just a.

Few strong people around them that will hold their hands up

when times get tough. Because here's the thing, the

only reason a pastor, well, some pastors are hired and they make

a living, but the only reason some pastors will stay in there

is because God says so. Because remember, this church

isn't ours, although we found it.

One day this church will be pastored by somebody else.

The crazy part people don't think about is we are asked to

build something like it's our business, but we don't get no

profit from it and we have to give it away.

Who builds something to give it away?

My kids don't inherit Love Quest.

This is not that so to walk away is super easy because it's not

mines so and that's the same for many people across the world.

They can walk away because they have pastors in place and

teachers and all they got to do is hire to replace.

So for those that are standing just because.

God said stand, pray for them. Those are standing that can go

do plenty of other things or start another church or whatever

the case may be. They're standing because God

said so. Pray for them.

Pray for them. Not just talking about me, but I

believe. We're a church for the church

across the world. Pray for leaders across the

world. Stand to your feet.

We're in social media. I wish the church LED social

media help the Great Commission, but it's also been weapon to to

tell the world how divided we are, right?

It's it's also helped us be disloyal because if I don't like

it here, I can find it out there.

I pray for. Standing Power, Watch this and

Standing Grace. PJ, can I ask you to pray?

Yeah. It's such a little special,

little heart. If it was 1000 Terrence's in

here, I would give you 1000 Terrence's standing ovation

because I'm happy to see you. Oh, it's dead.

Can you guys give me a mic that's alive?

Thank you. Hallelujah.

So, Father, we thank you. We thank you for what you've

done today in our hearts. I thank you that we are not only

fruitful, but we are good soil. Thank you that the fruitfulness

comes from the soil of our hearts where we steward the Word

and you are, we are deeply rooted in you.

I thank you are God that we have staying power, that our

rootedness. We are rooted by rivers of

living water. I thank you for life flowing out

of us. I thank you are God that we are

not tossed to and fro, that we are firmly planted.

I thank you Lord God that when people are looking for where to

go, what to do, how to feel, that they look to us and that we

respond. I thank you that we respond in

love. I thank you that we are a people

in this church and everyone that is connected to us.

That we are a people that respond from the prompting of

the Holy Spirit. We are led by the Holy Spirit

during this time. I thank you that we have

obedient ears. I thank you that we have

obedient eyes. I thank you that we have soft

hearts, hearts and I think you that we are wooing people with

the power of the Holy Spirit back into your presence and back

into the Kingdom of God. So I thank you, our God, as we

go this week out into the world, that you give us eyes to see

people, people where they truly are, but also see people how you

see them and where they're going.

I thank you that you give us compassion, that if we feel a

heaviness, that it's a heaviness for your heart, for people, that

we don't feel heaviness, we don't feel a depression.

What we feel is a burden to share the love of God.

So I thank you that we are soul winners.

I thank you that we are wise, and I thank you that we operate

with the love of God in everything we do in Jesus name,

Amen. Until next time you know what it

is. Get your love, big man.
